Bad customer service
Does Stss have a finance department? I've wasted R60 worth of airtime and more than 30 minutes of my time being redirected and placed on hold and my query still hasn' resolved since. I can't get through to Kyle (The one person that can assist me) that handles the De Zicht Estate payments. My bank failed to cancel a scheduled payment and in turn, I paid double the amount for my stss account this month. I've since tried to get someone to assist in refunding my money since I'll need it soon, but it seems impossible to find someone to assist me. I initially spoke to Leslie Clark who advised I should send my bank statement and proof of payment to ***********. He then sent my email to Gustav and I've since received no correspondence confirming the processing of the refund. I admit overpaying an account is a error on my side but it definitely does not warrant the terrible customer experience that I've had | 0 | 1 | 0 |
11. Reportable Segments The Partnership s operations consist of two reportable segments: (i) Pipeline Inspection and Integrity Services ( PI&IS ) and (ii) Water and Environmental Services ( W&ES ). PI&IS This segment represents the pipeline inspection and integrity services operations of the TIR Entities. We aggregate these operating entities for reporting purposes as they have similar economic characteristics, including centralized management and processing. This segment provides independent inspection and integrity services to various energy, public utility and pipeline companies. The inspectors in this segment perform a variety of inspection and integrity services on midstream pipelines, gathering systems and distribution systems, including data gathering and supervision of third-party construction, inspection, and maintenance and repair projects. Our results in this segment are driven primarily by the number and type of inspectors performing services for customers and the fees charged for those services, which depend on the nature and duration of the project. W&ES This segment includes the operations of ten SWD facilities and fees related to the management of three additional SWD facilities. We aggregate these operating entities for reporting purposes as they have similar economic characteristics and have centralized management and processing. Segment results are driven primarily by the volumes of produced water and flowback water we inject into our SWD facilities and the fees we charge for our services. These fees are charged on a per barrel basis and vary based on the quantity and type of saltwater disposed, competitive dynamics and operating costs. In addition, for minimal marginal cost, we generate revenue by selling residual oil we recover from the disposed water. The following tables show operating income by reportable segment and a reconciliation of combined total segment operating income to net income before income tax expense.

NOTE 7 ? COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Mining Lease Agreements In November 2011, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Amicor, entered into several mining lease agreements with certain officers of Amicor and affiliated companies owned by the officers of Amicor (collectively the ?Lessors?). Such mining lease agreements granted and leased to the Company mineral properties located in the County of San Juan, Utah, County of Montrose, Colorado and County of San Miguel, Colorado. The term of the mining lease agreements was for the period of 20 years. The Company was required to pay the annual Federal Bureau of Land Management maintenance fees and other fees required to hold the mineral properties. If the Company fails to keep or perform according to the terms of this agreement shall constitute an event of default and as such the Company shall have 10 days after receipt of default notice to make good or cure the default. Upon failure to cure the default, such mining lease agreements shall be terminated by the Lessors. The Company shall be under no further obligation or liability to the Lessors from and after the termination except for the performance of obligations and satisfaction of accrued liabilities to Lessors or third parties prior to such termination. On June 11, 2012, the Company terminated the leases in connection with the Rescission Agreement (see Note 1). In December 2011, the Company, entered into a Lease Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with an affiliated company owned by the former officers of Amicor whereby the affiliated company agreed to assign its mineral rights and interests to the Company under a Surface and Mineral Lease Agreement dated in October 2011 with J.H. Ranch, Inc. located in San Juan County, Utah. The Company agreed to perform all of the affiliated company?s obligation under the Surface and Mineral Lease Agreement, including the payment of all lease payments, annual rents, advanced royalties, production royalties and other compensation as defined in the Agreement.

Title:
Shear Bond Strength of an Etch-and-rinse Adhesive to Er:YAG Laser- and/or Phosphoric Acid-treated Dentin.
Abstract:
Background and aims. Er:YAG laser irradiation has been claimed to improve the adhesive properties of dentin; therefore, it has been proposed as an alternative to acid etching. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the shear bond strength of an etch-and-rinse adhesive system to dentin surfaces following Er:YAG laser and/or phosphoric acid etching. Materials and methods. The roots of 75 sound maxillary premolars were sectioned below the CEJ and the crowns were embedded in auto-polymerizing acrylic resin with the buccal surfaces facing up. The buccal surfaces were ground using a diamond bur and polished until the dentin was exposed; the samples were randomly divided into five groups (n=15) according to the surface treatment: (1) acid etching; (2) laser etching; (3) laser etching followed by acid etching; (4) acid etching followed by laser etching and (5) no acid etching and no laser etching (control group). Composite resin rods (Point 4, Kerr Co) were bonded to treated dentin surfaces with an etch-and-rise adhesive system (Optibond FL, Kerr Co) and light-cured.After storage for two weeks at 37°C and 100% humidity and then thermocycling, bond strength was measured with a Zwick Universal Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data was analyzed using parametric and non-parametric tests (P<0.05). Results. Mean shear bond strength for acid etching (20.1±1.8 MPa) and acid+laser (15.6±3.5 MPa) groups were significantly higher than those for laser+acid (15.6±3.5 MPa), laser etching (14.1±3.4 MPa) and control (8.1±2.1 MPa) groups. However, there were no significant differences between acid etching and acid+laser groups, and between laser+acid and laser groups. Conclusion. When the cavity is prepared by bur, it is not necessary to etch the dentin surface by Er:YAG laser following acid etching and acid etching after laser etching. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

# Google Search Console: How to find your best performing keywords
As a business owner, the best five words that you can hear in your business are: **I found you on Google.**
There’s nothing more satisfying than knowing that somebody out there is searching for the services or products that you provide, and they go to Google and they find you and they reach out and they contact you. There’s no better high than that!
But if that’s happened to you, you may have followed up with the person and said, “Oh, that’s great! What did you search for?” And they don’t remember, so you can’t replicate that success.
Maybe you’ve also gone to Google Analytics thinking, “I wonder if Google will tell me exactly what that person looked for.”And unfortunately, you got one of those dreaded (not provided) results in your Google Analytics.
Good news! Google has a free toolto tell you *every single search term* that people are looking for and clicking through to your website!
!!

## What *is* Google Search Console?
Google Search Console is Google’s secret weapon for helping you with your SEO — both the technical stuff (like how fast your page loads, mobile usability, and any errors) and also the content stuff (like which keywords you’re showing up for in which position).
It used to be called Google Webmaster Tools, but in 2015 they pulled the search data out of Analytics (for greater privacy), merged it with Webmaster Tools, then renamed it Search Console.
## What’s the difference between Google Analytics & Google Search Console?
Think of Google Analytics as Stepbrothers: Google Analytics is the Will Ferrell character that everybody knows; Google Search Console is the underrated John C. Reilly character.
Step Brothers movie poster
Ok, here’s the more accurate answer:
* **Google Analytics** starts tracking the moment somebody arrives on your website, and tells you everything about their demographics and on-site behavior, like: where they came from, what pages they visited, how long they spent on the site, what device they’re using, what country they logged in from, etc.
* **Google Search Console** tells you two things:
1. How Google traffic found you, like: what they searched for, what position you were in for that query, what % of people who searched for that clicked on your site, what pages they landed on, what devices they were using, etc.
2. How your website’s technical SEO is performing, like: sitemaps, mobile usability, page load speeds … basically any errors on the page that could penalize your page rank
## How do I set up Google Search Console?
Go to < and in the upper left corner click “Add Property.”
There are two ways you can add a property: URL Prefix or Domain.
### Adding a URL prefix to GSC
Every website has at least 4 URL prefixes; for this website, they are:
… and then if I had my blog or shop on a subdomain, that would be two more URL prefixes, like:
Ideally, most of your traffic would be going to one of these (in my case: …) but sometimes you get some stragglers that sneak into the other ones if they’re not set-up correctly, so if you only plan on using URL prefixes, you might need to check 4+ different accounts.
To set up a URL prefix, log-in to your Google Search Console and click “Add Property,” then type the URL prefix you want into the box. Then you’ll have a choice of 5 ways to verify that you do, in fact, own that website:
I think the easiest way is through your Google Analytics account. If you have this installed correctly (in the <head> of your site) and you have Editor access, make sure you’re logged into the same Google account, then click on that choice and it should verify pretty easily.
Other options are that you can add a line of code to your website’s homepage, upload an HTML file, or use a tool like Google Tag Manager.
But what if you don’t want to need to check 4 different URL prefixes? Or if you have multiple subdomains and want all your search data to live in one place? Then you need to verify as a Domain Property.
### Adding a Domain Property to Google Search Console
Verifying your domain prefix is relatively painless, and much more thorough than URL prefixes … but you have to go to the place where you bought your domain to do it. That may or may not be the same place where your website is hosted! So if you bought your domain on GoDaddy or CheapDomains, then directed it to Squarespace or your WordPress hosting, go to the original place where you bought it!
After you click “Add Property,” type in the domain you want to verify and you’ll see a screen like this:
Copy that line of code, then go to wherever your domain lives, and paste that code into your DNS settings as a TXT configuration. I use Google Domains for my domain hoarding purchasing, so this is what it looks like for me (DNS on the left sidebar, scroll to the bottom for “custom resource records”) but yours could look *totally different*, so if you need to, Google for a more accurate tutorial of *your* domain provider:
Ok, now that the techical part is over … what can we DO with this Search Console thingamabob?
## What can Google Search Console Performance Report tell me?
Google Search Console is a treasure trove of information, but like all good treasure, it comes at a cost … there is SO MUCH DATA that it can be totally overwhelming at first. So in this post, we’re *just* gonna look at the Performance Report.
The Performance Report (the top line graph on your dashboard and second option on your sidebar, as of early 2021) will tell you four things:
1. CLICKS: how many people have clicked from Google to your website, either for a specific query or to a specific page
2. IMPRESSION: the number of people who *saw* your website show up in their search results
3. CLICK-THROUGH RATE (CTR): The formula here is clicks/impressions. If 1000 people saw your website show up in their search results and 100 people clicked on it, you have a 10% click-through rate. The click through rate can be a really helpful metric when you’re trying to figure out if there are any things that you’re showing up for but people just aren’t clicking on it.
4. AVERAGE POSITION: Where your website showed up on Google for every single search query, averaged over a specific time (the default is 3 months but you can change this up to 16 months in the filters above the boxes) — your position fluctuates regularly, so even if you Google yourself today and see that your #1, don’t be surprised or depressed if you don’t hold the same spot tomorrow, Google is *always* testing things out! We’re look at *trends*, not snapshots.
## Real life example: Case study for ArtBizSuccess
So today we’re going to be looking at the Google Search Console of my client Alyson who runs ArtBizSuccess, she’s an art career coach so she helps artists to sell their work.
Here are the default filters at the top:
The search type is web — if you have a particularly image heavy website, or you have lots of videos or news, you can actually just look at the search results in Google for that information — and our default setting is the last three months. You can go back in time up to 16 months, or you can just look at one day, one week, something along those lines, but we’ll stick with the default settings for this one.
The first thing you’ll see on the page is a line graph:
This chart shows number of clicks that are coming to Allison’s website, every single day over this three month period. And because she works primarily with artists and other businesses, we see more people clicking on Monday through Friday and fewer people clicking on the weekends, we see a drop during the holidays, because that’s pretty typical people aren’t looking for business resources over the holidays.
The default settings are the blue & purple boxes (clicks and impressions), and you can click the white boxes to the right of those to get more information, both on the line graph and in the data below. (I know, they don’t look like boxes, but they are!)
The line graph can show you general trends, but where it can get really interesting is if you scroll down and look at all the different keywords that you’re showing up for:
### Branded search terms
The first thing that Alyson shows up for is her name, that’s pretty common. If you have an uncommon name like Alyson does, that the first result that you’re going to see is typically your name, and then probably your business is going to show up in the top five here too.
Now take a look at Allison’s impressions: 392 people searched for “alyson stanfield,” 201 of those went to her website. Therefore, her click-through rate (CTR) = 201/392 = 55.5%.
And for Alyson’s business name, Art Biz Success, she also has a high CTR: 149/184 = 76.1%
It’s pretty typical to have a high click through rate for your name, or your business name or anything related to your brand. Because those people already know who Alyson is and what her business is. We’re almost never going to see 100% here because we have other places that we live around the internet. So maybe people went and looked her name and then found her on Facebook or Instagram or LinkedIn instead of going to her website. So it’s totally okay, if you have a not 100% click through rate for your branded search terms, but your brand terms *should* be higher than more educational posts from people who aren’t already familiar with your work.
### Educational & informational search terms
The other thing that we’ll see here is that there are informational queries: 1,013 different people over this three month period looked for “exhibition proposal.” It’s a really great keyword for Alyson, because these are artists who would be looking for a term like exhibition proposal, and about 17.5% of them clicked through on her website, her blog posts specifically about how to write a proposal for an exhibition.
But that’s not the only keyword about that topic; people are also searching for terms like “how to write an exhibition proposal” and “exhibition proposal example” — sometimes keywords can be counted differently but the searchers are really using different words to search for the same topic! I call these **keyword clusters:** you can show up for different search terms for the same intention.
I notice when reviewing these that Alyson’s click through rate for “how to write an exhibition proposal” (33.7%) is almost twice that of “exhibition proposal” (17.5%) … so either she’s ranking better for that search term, or because she’s more specific about what she offers there that she’s giving people a guide for how to write that exhibition proposal, more people are likely to click on it.
(Typically the closer your , aka the part that shows up on the search engine results page, is to a person’s exact search, the more likely they are to click.)
### Finding your exact search page rank for every keyword
So you may wonder, “Okay, but Meg, where did she show up in the search results? Is that part of it, too?” Yes, it is, well done you!
That information is the orange number in the fourth column, the Average Position. Again this is our average position that you showed up in the search results for this query over this time period … so for “exhibition proposal” Alyson is listed as 1.5, meaning that she probably is fluctuating beween the first or the second spot. But for “how to write an exhibition proposal” she’s in position 1.2, which is probably why she has twice as many click throughs.
And then for “exhibition proposal example,” Alyson has a much lower click through rate (13.2%), because she’s showing up fourth so whoever shows up in the first, second, or third spot is probably more likely to get that traffic.
### Finding *every* keyword for a specific page
Ok, I know I want to make some adjustments to this post about exhibition proposals, but to decide what changes to make, I want to find *every* keyword for that page, not just the top 3 that show up in Alyson’s first 10 results.
So on the bar between the line graph and the list of keywords, I’m gonna click on the word “Pages” so I can see all the pages that have shown up in Google search results, organized by how many clicks they’ve gotten. (You can also sort this by Impressions or CTR if you’re curious, just click on the column headers and the little arrow will point down there to show which column it’s sorting by.)
In this view, I can see Alyson’s best performing pages in search results:
When we were looking at keywords, those 3 keyword related to “exhibition proposal” added up to about 400 clicks … but look at this number, we can see that that page had 2,771 clicks from Google from 324 keywords. Whoa!
Here’s how I found that number: I clicked on that page, which created a filter, so that until I remove it, all the information that I see in ALL these tabs will ONLY be for that page:
After setting up that page filter, I can click back into the Queries tab and now the ONLY keywords I’ll see here are the ones that somebody has searched and seen the exhibition proposal blog post in their search results:
And now we can see the full variations of *all* the keywords people are looking for, like, “art exhibition proposal,” “art gallery proposal,” “writing an exhibition proposal,” “gallery proposal,” etc. Some of these don’t even include the term exhibition or proposal but she’s still getting traffic for them!
### Ok, what can I DO with this data?
If I were advising Alyson about what to do with this information, I would point out, “Okay well we’re doing really well for “how to write an exhibition proposal” but then when i see words like “example” or “template,” there’s a lower click through rate & position,” so I would advise her to update her blog post & SEO title to give specific examples and maybe even provide a free downloadable template as a lead magnet.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL a. ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (RRL, and together with its subsidiaries, the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel on June 20, 2001 and commenced operations on the same date. b. RRL has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) ReWalk Robotics Inc. (RRI) incorporated under the laws of Delaware on February 15, 2012 and (ii) ReWalk Robotics GMBH. (RRG) incorporated under the laws of Germany on January 14, 2013. The Company is designing, developing and commercializing robotic exoskeletons that allow individuals with mobility impairments or other medical conditions the ability to stand and walk once again. The Company has developed and is continuing to commercialize the ReWalk, an exoskeleton designed for individuals with paraplegia that uses its patented tilt-sensor technology and an on-board computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement. The ReWalk system consists of a light wearable brace support suit which integrates motors at the joints, rechargeable batteries, an array of sensors and a computer-based control system to power knee and hip movement. There are currently two types of ReWalk products: ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation. ReWalk Personal is designed for everyday use by individuals at home and in their communities and is custom-fitted for each user. ReWalk Rehabilitation is designed for the clinical rehabilitation environment where it provides individuals access to valuable exercise and therapy. Additionally, the Company developed and, in June 2019, started to commercialize the ReStore following receipt of European Union CE mark and United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use in the rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb disability due to stroke. The Company markets and sells its products directly to institutions and individuals in Germany and the United States and through third-party distributors in other markets. In its direct markets, the Company has established relationships with rehabilitation centers and the spinal cord injury community, and in its indirect markets, the Company's distributors maintain these relationships. RRI markets and sells products mainly in the United States. RRG sell the Company's products mainly in Germany and Europe. c. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a global economic slowdown and is expected to continue to disrupt general business operations until the disease is contained. This has already had a negative impact on the Company's sales and results of operations, and the Company expects that it will continue to negatively affect its sales and results of operations but the Company is currently unable to predict the scale and duration of that impact. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update of its accounting estimates or judgments or revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. This determination may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from our estimates and judgments, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. d. The Company has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of approximately $172.3 million as of March 31, 2020 and negative cash flow from operations of $4.3 million, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, reducing operating spend, and future issuances of equity and debt securities, or through a combination of the foregoing. However, the Company will need to seek additional sources of financing if the Company requires more funds than anticipated during the next 12 months or in later periods. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES License On February 1, 2018, Spinus entered into an Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement (the Licensing Agreement). The Company assumed the obligations under the Licensing Agreement and pledged the assets of Spinus as security. Pursuant to the terms of the Licensing Agreement, in consideration of $250,000 Spinus has the exclusive rights to certain patents and the non-exclusive rights to other patents.

Title:
Reliability of visual classification of sagittal gait patterns in patients with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy.
Abstract:
To investigate the reliability of inspection-based classification of sagittal gait patterns in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP).
Video clip recordings of gait patterns and sagittal kinematic data obtained by a computerized motion analysis system from 91 patients with bilateral spastic CP were reviewed. The abnormal gait patterns were classified into 4 groups using the method described by Rodda et al. Visual observation-based classification (visual classification) was compared with classification by 3D analysis-based methods (3D classification). The reliabilities of visual classifications made by an experienced physician and a trainee physician were analyzed.
The consistency of inspection-based gait classification using kinematic data analysis was demonstrated by an experienced physician (Kappa coefficient (k)=0.67, p<0.001). However, the consistency was low for the trainee physician (k=0.37, p<0.001). Group III (apparent equinus) was commonly confused with group IV (crouch gait) by the trainee physician, resulting in lower agreement for those two evaluation groups than for other patterns. Video observation showed low reliability in comparisons made between the experienced and the trainee physician (k=0.37, p<0.001).
There was substantial agreement of gait classification between video observation and kinematic data analysis by the experienced physician, but not by the trainee physician. Low reliability was also demonstrated for inspection-based gait classification. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Revenue Recognition The Cooperative s members are contractually obligated to annually deliver corn to the Cooperative by either Method A or Method B or a combination of both. Under Method A, a member is required to physically deliver corn to the cooperative and under Method B a member appoints the cooperative as its agent to arrange for the acquisition and delivery of corn on the member s behalf. For an annual fee of $92,000 paid quarterly, the Cooperative contractually appoints Cargill as its agent to arrange for the delivery of the corn by its members who elect to deliver corn using Method A and to acquire corn on its behalf for its members who elect to deliver corn using Method B. The price per bushel paid to the member who elects to deliver corn using Method B is equal to the price per bushel paid by Cargill to acquire the corn as the Cooperative s agent. Members who deliver corn under Method A are paid the market price or contracted price for their corn at the time of delivery. The Cooperative pays members who deliver corn under Method A an incentive payment of $.05 per bushel while members who elect Method B to deliver corn pay the Cooperative a $.02 per bushel agency fee for the cost of having the Cooperative deliver corn on their behalf. The board has the discretion to change the incentive fee and the agency fee based on the Cooperative s corn delivery needs. The incentive fee and agency fee are a component of Corn Expense. With respect to all Method A corn that is delivered, Cargill pays the aggregate purchase price for corn purchased from the Cooperative s members to the Cooperative and then, on the Cooperative s behalf, makes individual payments for corn directly to its members. If a Method A member fails to fully satisfy the corn delivery requirement, Cargill purchases replacement corn for which the Cooperative reimburses Cargill the amount by which the underlying contracted corn price is less than the price of buying the replacement corn that was due on the delivery date.

1. Description of the Company, Recent Developments and Basis of Presentation Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (the Company), the parent holding company of the group of operating subsidiaries that conduct the Boot Barn business, was formed on November 17, 2011, and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The equity of the Company consists of 100,000,000 authorized shares and 28,957,533 issued and 28,865,379 outstanding shares of common stock as of September 26, 2020. The shares of common stock have voting rights of one vote per share. The Company operates specialty retail stores and e-commerce websites that sell western and work boots and related apparel and accessories. The Company operates retail locations throughout the U.S. and sells its merchandise via the internet. The Company operated a total of 265 stores in 36 states as of September 26, 2020 and 259 stores in 35 states as of March 28, 2020. As of September 26, 2020, all stores operate under the Boot Barn name, with the exception of two stores that operate under the American Worker name. Recent Developments In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China. Since first being reported, COVID-19 has spread to numerous countries around the world, including the U.S., resulting in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. As COVID-19 has continued to spread, public and private sector policies and initiatives intended to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, mandates from federal, state and local authorities to avoid large gatherings of people, quarantine or shelter-in-place, and the promotion of social distancing have significantly impacted the country. COVID-19 has had and will continue to have a significant impact on economic conditions and consumer confidence. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. These and other effects make it more challenging for us to estimate the future performance of our business, particularly over the near-to-medium term. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including, among others, the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions, especially those taken by governmental authorities, to contain the pandemic or treat its impact. As events are rapidly changing, additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. For more information about the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could affect our future results, please see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 22, 2020. As a result of COVID-19, traffic at our retail stores significantly declined beginning in the last three weeks of fiscal 2020 and continued through the start of fiscal 2021 as many state and local governments began implementing stay-at-home directives to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. On average, approximately 4 of our 265 stores were closed during the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2020. Except for temporary store closures due to COVID-19, all of our stores are currently open. We may be required to implement additional store closures in response to the future transmission of COVID-19. As a result of COVID-19, we have taken measures, as fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, to preserve liquidity and reduce expenses, while maintaining flexibility to resume full operations once we re-emerge from this global pandemic. While certain of these measures, including temporary salary reductions and most employee furloughs, are no longer in effect as of the date of this report, we continue to closely monitor ongoing developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business. Basis of Presentation The Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, consisting of Boot Barn, Inc., RCC Western Stores, Inc., Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC, Sheplers, Inc. and Sheplers Holding Corporation (collectively with Sheplers, Inc., Sheplers). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The vast majority of the Companys identifiable assets are in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Companys annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly present the Companys financial position and results of operations and cash flows in all material respects as of the dates and for the periods presented. The results of operations presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 27, 2021. Fiscal Periods The Company reports its results of operations and cash flows on a 52- or 53-week basis ending on the last Saturday of March unless April 1st is a Saturday, in which case the fiscal year ends on April 1st. In a 52-week year, each quarter includes thirteen weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, the first, second and third quarters each include thirteen weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes fourteen weeks of operations. Both the fiscal year ending on March 27, 2021 (fiscal 2021) and the fiscal year ended on March 28, 2020 (fiscal 2020) consist of 52 weeks. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
I'm giving this one a 4 because I first ate at (and found out about) Lucilles at the Vegas location. Over there it was spectacular - here its just amazing. They give you so much food its unreal. You can try anything BBQ you want or ever dreamed of. You get these amazing biscuits with this butter stuff that is just like candy before the meal, and almost get full just with these.
SO MUCH FOOD, go hungry and get ready to be amazed. Some of the better BBQ in the area. I look forward anytime I have the opportunity to visit a Lucilles. Just can't wait till I go visit the Vegas one again! | 1 | 0 | 0 |

MONDO and MTN not cancelling data contract/sending courier for device collection
I was offered a data contract with device in February by MONDO. The offered speed did not meet our requirements upon SIM activation and we logged a cancellation within 10 days.
Since the cancellation request and many promises from MONDO and issue logged with MTN as well, to send a courier for device collection, I sit today with a third-party company asking me how I am going to pay the accumulated bill since February.
I cannot seem to reach MTN on 083135 and MONDO continues with promises never to get feedback after a query. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

A hidden gem in downtown Phoenix. I loved the design of the restaurant and was so excited to try the food. The menu isn't large at all but there is great substance in their offerings. I had the chili lime chicken which was really delicious. I don't think I managed to eat even half of my order but it made for great leftovers. :) I noticed they had a very reasonable take out menu too! | 0 | 0 | 1 |

## Successful Families & Individuals
## A FINANCIAL PARTNERSHIP THAT GOES BEYOND YOUR PORTFOLIO
**Navigating the unique complexities that come with significant wealth requires a higher level of skill and a deeper partnership that goes beyond your assets.**
As a leading member of Northwestern Mutual’s exclusive Private Client Group, we approach private wealth management differently—offering a broader perspective by connecting all aspects of your finances with what you want out of life.
Our comprehensive approach allows us to see the blind spots others miss, seamlessly align your other financial relationships, and give you the edge you and your family need to enjoy your wealth.
### A BROADER PERSPECTIVE FOR BETTER WEALTH PLANNING
**We approach private wealth management differently.**
* Building a comprehensive plan that combines advanced investment and risk management strategies, allowing you to invest even more confidently.
* Establishing a disciplined approach that sheds light on how strategic tax planning can reduce the impact of taxes to you and your legacy.
* Building multigenerational plans that help you protect and preserve what you’ve worked so hard for.
FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT RENDER TAX OR LEGAL ADVICE. CONSULT WITH A TAX OR LEGAL PROFESSIONAL FOR TAX OR LEGAL ADVICE THAT IS SPECIFIC TO YOUR SITUATION.
### TAX PLANNING
**Navigating the complexities of tax exposure that come with significant wealth requires specialized experience and expertise. A poorly structured portfolio or a tax-inefficient wealth plan can become the single biggest drag on wealth building and estate preservation.**
We bring the depth and breadth to help our clients become well-positioned from a tax planning perspective by utilizing proactive strategies that work well in an ever-changing legislative environment.
* **Tax-Aware Portfolio Management** – *Identifying solutions for tax-efficient investing and borrowing*
Once we understand your situation, we tailor solutions that can help you reach your goals to preserve more wealth, for example, by combining tax-efficient investing with trust planning and other strategies. For business owners and executives, we integrate personal and business tax planning to help you achieve better outcomes. Creative financing strategies including customized mortgages and securities based lending can help enhance flexibility and reduce tax costs.
* **Charitable Giving** – *Giving more strategically to maximize the impact of your donations*
We help you give more strategically, for example, by using donor-advised funds or family foundations to have more flexibility and maximize the value and tax-advantaged impact of your donations. Our team monitors the tax environment to keep you current with events that may signal the need to adjust your plan.
* **Tax Diversification & Asset Allocation** – *Allocating investments to enhance after-tax returns*
Location is key when it comes to the type of account (IE, Roth IRA, 401(k) or taxable account) you use to hold various investments. Carefully selecting the best account for a particular type of investment can help make a big difference in the amount of investment returns you keep after taxes. Investments are subject to varying tax treatments and understanding how to implement an asset allocation across different account types can help lower your annual tax bill and add to your bottom line. Further, having a tax diversification plan in place to hedge against future changes in tax rates, can help reduce the risk of paying unnecessary taxes and provide increased optionality during retirement.
Financial Representatives do not render tax or advice. Consult with a tax professional for tax advice that is specific to your situation.
* **Estate Tax Mitigation** – *Mitigating estate taxes and administrative costs*
Gift and estate taxes can limit your ability to transfer your wealth to the right people, at the right time, and in the right way. With intentional planning, we can help you integrate strategies in your estate plan that may reduce the taxes on your estate. Financial Representatives do not render tax or advice. Consult with a tax professional for tax advice that is specific to your situation.
* **Tax & Legal Advisor Coordination** – *Coordinating and collaborating with your advisors*
We work closely with you and the rest of your advisor team to build a sound framework for wealth building and estate planning. We can help you evaluate your team and incorporate new members as your needs change.
### FAMILY WEALTH STEWARDSHIP
**Every family has unique family wealth stewardship needs — entrusting the next generation to be responsible stewards and creating a thorough succession plan for your assets.**
By applying a multi-generational approach, our team makes it simpler for you and your family to manage estate plans and philanthropic aspirations that maximize wealth preservation and your potential for impact.
* **Estate Planning to Preserve your Family’s Legacy** – *Your wealth conveyance plan is fundamental to your overall financial plan*
We help you coordinate your estate planning with your other advisors, including attorneys, accountants, and other fiduciaries, to set up trusts, minimize estate taxes and administrative costs, and protect your estate from mismanagement.
* **Philanthropy** – *Bringing your philanthropic vision to life*
Giving back can be among life’s most fulfilling legacy. Done well, your philanthropy creates positive change in the lives of others. We offer a range of philanthropic services and advice. Starting with your goals or vision, we help you articulate the impact you want to have, the amount you want to give, and then identify the structure that’s right for you.
* **Prepare Heirs for Successful Wealth Stewardship** – *Establishing philanthropic family values*
This structure may involve members of your family so that you can have an impact now and, through family stewardship, create a legacy that could last generations. Establishing strong philanthropic family values is critical so that inherited wealth entrusts not enables heirs to carry forth the family legacy. We can help you select the charitable goals and best practices for family stewardship that creates excitement and enthusiasm – so you can make an impact now and create a legacy that could last generations.
* **Prepare your Next Generation for Acquiring and Managing Wealth** – *Aligning your vision and goals and those of your family*
A proactive approach to multi-generational wealth planning can help reduce intra-family conflicts and work to preserve and enhance the relationships among your heirs. Whether you are passing down a business, investments, or property, we have experience advising families on both the emotional and technical elements of wealth succession planning.
* **Trust Services** – *Preserving and protecting your assets*
You may want to provide direction for your assets long after you’re gone. We can help you navigate the best way to set up a trust based on your goals for your money and your family, coordinating with your attorney and other advisors. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
The reviews were so good that my friend and I had to check it out. We were very disappointed this morning while trying to eat breakfast and swatting tons of flies!!! They were everywhere, on us, our food, the other customers - and this was inside. The egg sandwiches were served on hamburger buns shaped like rolls - I could have went next door to get one just like it at McDonalds. Not surprised people from Ahwatukee like this place, it looks nice but the food is so-so. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
This thesis concerns the role of the state in industrial development and structural transformation, in the context of multilateral restrictions on trade and investment policy space. More specifically, it examines the elimination of local content requirements (LCRs) in the automotive sector by 16 developing countries, as required by the WTO’s Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures. My focus is on the complex, dynamic causal processes that govern the economic geography of production, trade and investment, and the implications of the elimination of LCRs on those processes. In order to explore this issue, I employ a mixed method approach to empirical impact evaluation. I examine how the elimination of LCRs has impacted a number of key variables relating to production, trade and investment, using two methodological tools: ‘difference-in-difference’ panel regression, and comparative case studies. Possibilities for empirical research emerged from a ‘natural experiment’ – in which a number of countries were exogenously compelled to remove LCRs – coupled with the passing of sufficient time to allow long term impacts to be realised. This mixed approach entails progression from a simple panel regression model aimed at identifying and quantifying the ‘global’ impacts of the policy restriction on the 16 countries subject to the elimination of LCRs, to a more expansive treatment of the complex factors that determine case-specific outcomes, and the mechanisms through which they operate, through historical institutionalist, comparative case studies. The key finding is that contrary to the more pessimistic expectations, liberalising countries appear, on balance, to have exhibited significantly improved industrial performance outcomes: controlling for relevant covariates, output levels have not fallen while exports have increased dramatically. However, the cases examined here had a number of strong advantages going into liberalisation, suggesting that positive outcomes may not be broadly generalisable. The benefits of integration into global networks are unevenly distributed across structurally diverse countries, while across the cases examined here, countries continue to pursue alternative means through which to promote domestic production, the effects of which are difficult to separate from wider processes of liberalisation and developments in the structure of global value chains | 1 | 0 | 0 |
I like their chicago dog. It is delicious. I've had good service here because mostly the owners are almost always working and they are real nice. It's only when they are gone that you get the crummy service. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
This is my favorite breakfast/brunch spot. Fresh bagels and different types of cream cheese.
They even have Bagel Thins for those who are cutting their carbs.
You don't pay the person who took you order, but move down the line to pay for your food.
Their iced coffee are a great deal!! It's a 20oz cup for less than $3! | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Airline's refusal to provide customer service/satisfaction
Deceitful and dishonest is the best way to describe there customer service.
1. They lied about the flight itinerary. Received a text three hours before my flight stating that departure time from JHB had not changed but arrival in Cape Town would be two hours later.
2. At the departure airport, I was told that there were no changes to the schedule.
3. Sat on the plane for 1.5 hours waiting to take off for Cape Town. On two occasions, they announced that the delay was due to technical problems with the plane. This they must have known well before, as per the initial text message which mentioned the late arrival.
4. We boarded a plane which had no logos or signage, so basically, there must have been a problem with the original plane too. That is, unless they fly planes with no branding.
5. It is now three weeks where they have still not bothered to respond to ANY of my emails which I have requested a response. In addition, they also have not responded to my query about money in my Lift Wallet.
My advice, don't book with Lift Airlines as it is likely that they too will steal your money. Then they won't take to the air, but will ask government (use our tax money) to offer a business rescue plan to bail them out. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
Stopover optimization in a long-distance migrant: the role of fuel load and nocturnal take-off time in Alaskan northern wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe).
Abstract:
In long-distance migrants, a considerably higher proportion of time and energy is allocated to stopovers rather than to flights. Stopover duration and departure decisions affect consequently subsequent flight stages and overall speed of migration. In Arctic nocturnal songbird migrants the trade-off between a relatively long migration distance and short nights available for travelling may impose a significant time pressure on migrants. Therefore, we hypothesize that Alaskan northern wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) use a time-minimizing migration strategy to reach their African wintering area 15,000 km away.
We estimated the factors influencing the birds' daily departure probability from an Arctic stopover before crossing the Bering Strait by using a Cormack-Jolly-Seber model. To identify in which direction and when migration was resumed departing birds were radio-tracked. Here we show that Alaskan northern wheatears did not behave as strict time minimizers, because their departure fuel load was unrelated to fuel deposition rate. All birds departed with more fuel load than necessary for the sea crossing. Departure probability increased with stopover duration, evening fuel load and decreasing temperature. Birds took-off towards southwest and hence, followed in general the constant magnetic and geographic course but not the alternative great circle route. Nocturnal departure times were concentrated immediately after sunset.
Although birds did not behave like time-minimizers in respect of the optimal migration strategies their surplus of fuel load clearly contradicted an energy saving strategy in terms of the minimization of overall energy cost of transport. The observed low variation in nocturnal take-off time in relation to local night length compared to similar studies in the temperate zone revealed that migrants have an innate ability to respond to changes in the external cue of night length. Likely, birds maximized their potential nightly flight range by taking off early in the night which in turn maximizes their overall migration speed. Hence, nocturnal departure time may be a crucial parameter shaping the speed of migration indicating the significance of its integration in future migration models. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

13. Commitments and Contingencies; Litigation Settlement Contingencies In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability when loss contingencies are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. The Company expenses professional fees associated with litigation claims and assessments as incurred. Heckermann v. Montross et al. , Case No. 1:17-CV-01673 (D. Del.) (the Derivative Suit) On November 20, 2017, a purported CPI stockholder filed a stockholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Court) against certain of CPIs former officers and current and former directors, along with the sponsors of CPIs October 2015 initial public offering (IPO). CPI is also named as a nominal defendant. The derivative complaint asserts claims under 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 and seeks, among other things, injunctive relief, damages and costs. It alleges false or misleading statements and omissions in the Registration Statement filed by CPI in connection with its IPO and subsequent public filings and statements. The derivative complaint also asserts claims for purported breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, mismanagement and waste of corporate assets. On March 28, 2018, the Court entered the parties stipulated order staying the Derivative Suit pending final determination of In Re CPI Card Group Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 1:16-CV-04531 (S.D.N.Y.) (the Class Action) , which was dismissed in its entirety, with prejudice, on February 25, 2019. Under its terms, the stay of the Derivative Suit was lifted 30 days after the entry of final judgment in the Class Action which was entered on February 25, 2019. The Derivative Suit litigation is ongoing. Given the current stage of this matter, the range of any potential loss is not probable or estimable and no liability has been recorded as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Litigation Settlement CPI Card Group Inc. v. Multi Packaging Solutions, Inc., et al. Second Case During the summer of 2017, the Company and its subsidiary, CPI Card Group Minnesota, Inc. (together, the Company Plaintiffs), commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against a former employee, Multi Packaging Solutions, Inc. (MPS), and two MPS employees as individuals (collectively, the Defendants). On June 12, 2019, the Company Plaintiffs and the Defendants reached a settlement pursuant to which the case was resolved and dismissed by mutual agreement on terms that provided for, among other things, a cash payment to the Company. The Company received a $6,000 cash settlement payment during the second quarter of 2019, and recorded the gain within income from operations, in the Other segment. The case was dismissed in its entirety, with prejudice, by court order on July 12, 2019. For further information see Part II-Item 1. Legal Proceedings. In addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
Role of depression in predicting time to conversion to mild cognitive impairment.
Abstract:
To establish whether, in a cohort with normal cognition, severity of depressive symptoms at baseline was related to the time taken for conversion to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and whether this interacted with other potential risk factors, including APOE ε4 status and demographic and cognitive variables.
In a population-based cohort study, 126 cognitively normal subjects were assessed for depressive symptoms at baseline using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and were then followed over 20 years with regular cognitive assessments. The interval-censored accelerated failure time model was used to establish whether GDS and other factors, including APOE ε4 status, predicted the median time to development of MCI.
Fifty subjects developed MCI. In APOE ε4 noncarriers, the degree of depressive symptoms at baseline predicted the time to development of MCI: An increase in GDS of 1 standard deviation (3.85) was associated with shortening of the median time to conversion to MCI by 25.4% (p = 0.0024, z = -5.6). This relationship remained statistically significant after controlling for cognitive and other confounding variables. The relationship was not significant in APOE ε4 carriers.
Depressive symptoms (measured by GDS) predict time to conversion to MCI in cognitively normal people who do not carry the APOE ε4 allele. This may explain conflicting results of previous studies where APOE ε4 status was not taken into account when exploring the relationship between depression and MCI. It may also have a clinical application in helping to identify people at greater risk of developing MCI. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

# Woven Nylon Fabrics
Since its launch by DuPont in the 1930s, nylon has become one of the most used fabrics in the world due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and elasticity. Nylon fiber is entirely synthetic, and today it is most commonly found in apparel and consumer goods. The use of nylon fabric in clothing began as people searched for an alternative to hemp and silk parachutes during World War II. At the time, more than 80% of textile applications in the United States used cotton.
However, synthetic fibers like nylon slowly gained popularity and had a 25% market share by 1945. Once the war ended, the use of nylon in garments and military items rose in popularity. Nylon is still a useful and popular fabric choice in the world today due to its many advantages. This article details the synthetic fabric’s properties and the types of nylon fabrics available from HLC Industries.

Nylon is an umbrella term for a family of synthetic polymers. Nylon is completely synthetic, meaning that it is a non-organic material. Nylon fibers have gained popularity internationally due to their incredible durability, elasticity, and strength. Also referred to as polyamide fabric, nylon has become a necessary textile due to its versatility. Nylon has high water resistance properties, making it the primary choice for items like swimwear clothing. In the military, this fabric is used in bulletproof vests and durable, water-resistant outerwear.
Nylon fabrics are comprised of monomers, which are long chains of carbon-based molecules, and are derived from petroleum. They are made by spinning several fibers together, which can be 100% nylon fibers or a mixture of other fibers such as polyester or cotton. The majority of today’s nylon fabric is blended material, which makes it stretchy, strong, and cheaper to produce. A polyester blend strengthens nylon’s immunity against UV rays, while cotton fiber enhances breathability.
## Woven Nylon Fabric Properties
Nylon possesses numerous qualities that make it an excellent fabric choice for countless applications, including:
* **Durability:** One of the most notable properties of nylon fabric is its superior strength and durability. The durability and tensile strength of nylon are said to be even greater than steel.
* **Elasticity:** Nylon fabrics have incredible elasticity that helps retain their original shapes and sizes. Nylon has revolutionized women’s sportswear, providing comfortable, supportive sports bras to the masses.
* **Wrinkle-Resistant:** Nylon fabrics are extremely wrinkle-resistant, making them preferred in the clothing industry. Nylon’s wrinkle resistance reduces the need for frequent ironing, which is appealing to consumers.
* **Shrinkage Resistant:** 100% nylon garments are highly resistant to shrinking even after washing. The addition of other fibers increases the probability that the fabric will shrink.
* **Resilience:** Nylon is durable and highly resistant to abrasion, making it ideal for use in high-traffic carpets.
* **UV Resistance:** Nylon fabrics aren’t 100% UV and light-resistant, but this synthetic material is easily mixed with UV and light-resistant chemicals that significantly improve their performance.
* **Flammability:** Nylon’s flammability score is very low since it doesn’t burn easily. However, when exposed to high temperatures, nylon can melt. Specially formulated nylons can withstand intense heat but are typically reserved for commercial or industrial settings.
* **Chemical and Mildew Resistance:** Nylon is highly resistant to mildew, so users find it easy to maintain. Heavy chemicals or bleach are not needed to clean nylon fabric due to its mildew-proof structure. Nylon can also withstand exposure to oil and bleach.
* **Absorbency:** Depending on the nylon type, it can absorb moisture and hold relatively large amounts of water. For instance, nylon blended with cotton fibers has high absorption levels since cotton is a highly absorbent material. Conversely, water-repellent chemicals and resin treatments make nylon textiles more waterproof.
* **Moisture-Wicking:** Although there is still debate on nylon’s moisture-wicking properties, it can absorb water in different degrees. This is a major reason why nylon is preferred in making sportswear because it eliminates sweat from the body to keep the wearer cool.
* **Maintenance:** Nylon fabrics are easy to care for. They are machine washable and can be dried quickly at a low heat setting.
* **Comfort:** Nylon fabrics are lightweight and feel cool against the skin. With its high degree of stretchability, nylon gives the wearer a full range of movement while maintaining comfort.
* **Cost:** Unlike natural fiber such as linen and cotton, nylon is relatively affordable. This has made it a preferred option for clothing manufacturers because it helps lower production costs and still delivers quality products

Title:
National Bone Health Alliance Bone Turnover Marker Project: current practices and the need for US harmonization, standardization, and common reference ranges.
Abstract:
This position paper reviews how the National Bone Health Alliance (NBHA) will execute a project to help assure health professionals of the clinical utility of bone turnover markers; the current clinical approaches concerning osteoporosis and the status and use of bone turnover markers in the USA; the rationale for focusing this effort around two specific bone turnover markers; the need to standardize bone marker sample collection procedures, reference ranges, and bone turnover marker assays in clinical laboratories; and the importance of harmonization for future research of bone turnover markers.
Osteoporosis is a major global health problem, with the prevalence and incidence of osteoporosis for at-risk populations estimated to be 44 million Americans. The potential of bone markers as an additional tool for health care professionals to improve patient outcomes and impact morbidity and mortality is crucial in providing better health care and addressing rising health care costs. This need to advance the field of bone turnover markers has been recognized by a number of organizations, including the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), National Osteoporosis Foundation, International Federation of Clinical Chemistry, and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), and the NBHA.
This position paper elucidates how this project will standardize bone turnover marker sample collection procedures in the USA, establish a USA reference range for one bone formation (serum procollagen type I N propeptide, s-PINP) and one bone resorption (serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, s-CTX) marker, and standardize bone turnover marker assays used in clinical laboratories. This effort will allow clinicians from the USA to have confidence in their use of bone turnover markers to help monitor osteoporosis treatment and assess future fracture risk. This project builds on the recommendations of the IOF/IFCC Bone Marker Standards Working Group by developing USA reference standards for s-PINP and s-CTX, the markers identified as most promising for use as reference markers.
The goals of this project will be realized through the NBHA and will include its governmental, academic, for-profit, and non-profit sector stakeholders as well as major academic and commercial laboratories. Upon completion, a parallel effort will be pursued to make bone turnover marker measurements reliable and accepted by all health care professionals for facilitating treatment decisions and ultimately be reimbursed by all health insurance payers.
Successful completion of this project will help assure health professionals from the USA of the clinical utility of bone turnover markers and ties in with the parallel effort of the IOF/IFCC to develop worldwide bone turnover reference ranges. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

(j) Revenue recognition The Company assesses appropriate revenue recognition policy for each type of operation according to ASC 605-45 Revenue represents the invoiced value of services rendered and receivable during the year. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: o Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, o Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, o The seller?s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and o Collectability is reasonably assured Revenue recognition policy for each of the major products and services: 1. Discounted call services for consumer (EMS) as follow: o Collaboration with CTT ? Redtone China is appointed as the sole distributor for EMS and will recognize revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and the revenue recognized is on net basis which is computed based on a fixed sharing ratio of the total airtime utilized by consumers after netting of direct traffic termination cost and incidental expenses. Redtone China?s role for Business Collaboration with China TieTong Telecommunications (CTT) would be as ?Agent? as Redtone China is the sole distributor for EMS brand owned and controlled by CTT; and o Collaboration with other telecommunication providers ? Redtone China will act as a discounted consumer call Reseller whereby Redtone China will determine the service and package specification and pricing policies whereas China Unicom acts as a passive termination partner for call traffic. Redtone China will pay China Unicom solely based on call traffic termination by China Unicom at a prescribed rate (defined as traffic termination costs on the books of Redtone China). In this regard, Redtone China will recognize the revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and the value recognized as revenue is the call charges gross value. Redtone China?s role for Business Collaboration with China Unicom would be as ?Principal? as China Unicom is playing a passive role as traffic termination partner while Redtone China is fully responsible for the e | 0 | 1 | 0 |

The fabric is super soft and comfortable and the look is cute, however the drape on the front crossover is not great and doesn't flatter well. the shorts will probably run a little on the short side for some - i'm very short (5') and the length is great for me but i'm guessing not for the average height. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Hi. I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine. And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I'd just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate. I'm fortunate enough to work in the rehab facility, so I get to see people who are facing life and death with addiction. And sometimes it comes down to something as simple as, their core wound is their father died without ever saying he's proud of them. But then, they hear from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of him, but he never told the son. It's because he didn't know that his son needed to hear it. So my question is, why don't we ask for the things that we need? I know a gentleman, married for 25 years, who's longing to hear his wife say, "Thank you for being the breadwinner, so I can stay home with the kids," but won't ask. I know a woman who's good at this. She, once a week, meets with her husband and says, "I'd really like you to thank me for all these things I did in the house and with the kids." And he goes, "Oh, this is great, this is great." And praise really does have to be genuine, but she takes responsibility for that. And a friend of mine, April, who I've had since kindergarten, she thanks her children for doing their chores. And she said, "Why wouldn't I thank it, even though they're supposed to do it?" So, the question is, why was I blocking it? Why were other people blocking it? Why can I say, "I'll take my steak medium rare, I need size six shoes," but I won't say, "Would you praise me this way?" And it's because I'm giving you critical data about me. I'm telling you where I'm insecure. I'm telling you where I need your help. And I'm treating you, my inner circle, like you're the enemy. Because what can you do with that data? You could neglect me. You could abuse it. Or you could actually meet my need. And I took my bike into the bike store-- I love this -- same bike, and they'd do something called "truing" the wheels. The guy said, "You know, when you true the wheels, it's going to make the bike so much better." I get the same bike back, and they've taken all the little warps out of those same wheels I've had for two and a half years, and my bike is like new. So, I'm going to challenge all of you. I want you to true your wheels: be honest about the praise that you need to hear. What do you need to hear? Go home to your wife -- go ask her, what does she need? Go home to your husband -- what does he need? Go home and ask those questions, and then help the people around you. And it's simple. And why should we care about this? We talk about world peace. How can we have world peace with different cultures, different languages? I think it starts household by household, under the same roof. So, let's make it right in our own backyard. And I want to thank all of you in the audience for being great husbands, great mothers, friends, daughters, sons. And maybe somebody's never said that to you, but you've done a really, really good job. And thank you for being here, just showing up and changing the world with your ideas. Thank you.

Title:
Using twitter to examine smoking behavior and perceptions of emerging tobacco products.
Abstract:
Social media platforms such as Twitter are rapidly becoming key resources for public health surveillance applications, yet little is known about Twitter users' levels of informedness and sentiment toward tobacco, especially with regard to the emerging tobacco control challenges posed by hookah and electronic cigarettes.
To develop a content and sentiment analysis of tobacco-related Twitter posts and build machine learning classifiers to detect tobacco-relevant posts and sentiment towards tobacco, with a particular focus on new and emerging products like hookah and electronic cigarettes.
We collected 7362 tobacco-related Twitter posts at 15-day intervals from December 2011 to July 2012. Each tweet was manually classified using a triaxial scheme, capturing genre, theme, and sentiment. Using the collected data, machine-learning classifiers were trained to detect tobacco-related vs irrelevant tweets as well as positive vs negative sentiment, using Naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbors, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. Finally, phi contingency coefficients were computed between each of the categories to discover emergent patterns.
The most prevalent genres were first- and second-hand experience and opinion, and the most frequent themes were hookah, cessation, and pleasure. Sentiment toward tobacco was overall more positive (1939/4215, 46% of tweets) than negative (1349/4215, 32%) or neutral among tweets mentioning it, even excluding the 9% of tweets categorized as marketing. Three separate metrics converged to support an emergent distinction between, on one hand, hookah and electronic cigarettes corresponding to positive sentiment, and on the other hand, traditional tobacco products and more general references corresponding to negative sentiment. These metrics included correlations between categories in the annotation scheme (phihookah-positive=0.39; phi(e-cigs)-positive=0.19); correlations between search keywords and sentiment (χ²₄=414.50, P<.001, Cramer's V=0.36), and the most discriminating unigram features for positive and negative sentiment ranked by log odds ratio in the machine learning component of the study. In the automated classification tasks, SVMs using a relatively small number of unigram features (500) achieved best performance in discriminating tobacco-related from unrelated tweets (F score=0.85).
Novel insights available through Twitter for tobacco surveillance are attested through the high prevalence of positive sentiment. This positive sentiment is correlated in complex ways with social image, personal experience, and recently popular products such as hookah and electronic cigarettes. Several apparent perceptual disconnects between these products and their health effects suggest opportunities for tobacco control education. Finally, machine classification of tobacco-related posts shows a promising edge over strictly keyword-based approaches, yielding an improved signal-to-noise ratio in Twitter data and paving the way for automated tobacco surveillance applications. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Title:
Global analysis of translation termination in E. coli.
Abstract:
Terminating protein translation accurately and efficiently is critical for both protein fidelity and ribosome recycling for continued translation. The three bacterial release factors (RFs) play key roles: RF1 and 2 recognize stop codons and terminate translation; and RF3 promotes disassociation of bound release factors. Probing release factors mutations with reporter constructs containing programmed frameshifting sequences or premature stop codons had revealed a propensity for readthrough or frameshifting at these specific sites, but their effects on translation genome-wide have not been examined. We performed ribosome profiling on a set of isogenic strains with well-characterized release factor mutations to determine how they alter translation globally. Consistent with their known defects, strains with increasingly severe release factor defects exhibit increasingly severe accumulation of ribosomes over stop codons, indicative of an increased duration of the termination/release phase of translation. Release factor mutant strains also exhibit increased occupancy in the region following the stop codon at a significant number of genes. Our global analysis revealed that, as expected, translation termination is generally efficient and accurate, but that at a significant number of genes (≥ 50) the ribosome signature after the stop codon is suggestive of translation past the stop codon. Even native E. coli K-12 exhibits the ribosome signature suggestive of protein extension, especially at UGA codons, which rely exclusively on the reduced function RF2 variant of the K-12 strain for termination. Deletion of RF3 increases the severity of the defect. We unambiguously demonstrate readthrough and frameshifting protein extensions and their further accumulation in mutant strains for a few select cases. In addition to enhancing recoding, ribosome accumulation over stop codons disrupts attenuation control of biosynthetic operons, and may alter expression of some overlapping genes. Together, these functional alterations may either augment the protein repertoire or produce deleterious proteins. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Office Lease On January 6, 2015 the Company signed an amendment to its lease originally signed on May 9, 2008. The amended lease commenced January 1, 2015 and expires on thirty days notice. Rent expense was approximately $18,704 and $19,153 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Current month to month lease is for $2,000 a month. Executive Employment Agreement The Company has an employment agreement with the CEO/Chairman to perform duties and responsibilities as may be assigned by the Board of Directors. The base salary is in the amount of $100,000 per annum plus an annual discretionary bonus plus benefits commencing on December 17, 2013 and ending May 1, 2017 with an automatic renewal on each anniversary date (May 1) thereafter. Litigations, Claims and Assessments The Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Included in this litigation is a dispute over a $36,363 note secured by 59,400,000 shares of the Companys common stock. In the view of management, there are significant issues of fact regarding the proper issuance and assumption of this note by the Company. Additionally, there are issues over the validity of the prior debt. Regardless, the Company is in discussions to settle this note, and while no guarantee can be given as to the successful resolution of this matter, the Company believes it will be resolved without litigation. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise that may harm its business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results. On July 7, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to settle the note and accrued interest for 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $146,000. (See Note 6). | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers Effective April 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 606 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers , using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the measurement or on the recognition of revenue of contracts for which all revenue had not been recognized as of April 1, 2020. Therefore, no cumulative adjustment has been made to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at April 1, 2020. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle: Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation The Company generates revenue from selling FastPack System analyzers, accessories and disposable products used with the FastPack System. Disposable products include reagent packs which are diagnostic tests for Total PSA, testosterone, thyroid disorders, pregnancy, and Vitamin D. The Company provides the disposable products and equipment in exchange for consideration, which occurs when a customer submits a purchase order and the Company provides disposable products and equipment at the agreed upon prices in the invoice. Generally, customers purchase disposable products using separate purchase orders after the equipment has been provided to the customer. The delivery of the equipment represents a separate performance obligation and is completed upon receipt of the equipment by the customer. The delivery of each individual reagent pack represents a separate performance obligation because the reagent packs are standardized, are not interrelated in any way, and the customer can benefit from each reagent pack without any other product. The Companys contracts for equipment and disposable products only include fixed consideration. There are no discounts, rebates, returns or other forms of variable consideration. Customers are generally required to pay within 30 days. The delivery of the equipment and the delivery of disposable products are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. The performance obligation arising from the delivery of the equipment is satisfied upon the delivery of the equipment to the customer. The disposable products are shipped Free on Board (FOB) shipping point. For disposable products that are shipped FOB shipping point, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership and legal title to the assets when the disposable products leave the Companys shipping facilities, thus the customer obtains control and revenue is recognized at that point in time. The Company has elected the practical expedient and accounting policy election to account for the shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the disposable products and not as a separate performance obligation. The Companys contracts with customers generally have an expected duration of one year or less, and therefore the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606 to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Any incremental costs to obtain contracts are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense as incurred due to the short duration of the Companys contracts. Contract balances The timing of the Companys revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by the Companys customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and there is an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company accounted for its revenue arrangements under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables were evaluated for proper accounting treatment. In these arrangements, the Company recorded revenue as separate units of accounting if the delivered items have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, and if delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially within the Companys control. Revenues from product sales which included both the Companys proprietary diagnostic equipment (analyzer) and various immunoassay products (reagents) were generally recognized upon shipment, as no significant continuing performance obligations remained post shipment. Cash payments received in advance were classified as deferred revenue and recorded as a liability. The Company was generally not contractually obligated to accept returns, except for defective products. Revenue was recorded net of an allowance for estimated returns. Multiple element arrangements included contracts that combined both the Companys analyzer and a customers future reagent purchases under a single contract. In some sales contracts, the Company provided analyzers at no charge to customers.

I took a several month break from HN and decided to have a go at participating again.I now remember one of the main reasons I stopped posting: It seems that if I comment on more than a handful of articles, I am hit with a rate limiting message saying I am posting too fast. I guess I can see the reasoning behind that, but even after waiting several hours I still get the message.Is this unique to my account or did the rules change earlier this year? It's nearly impossible to participate in productive discussion if you are limited to 5 messages per day. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
I believe that there are new, hidden tensions that are actually happening between people and institutions -- institutions that are the institutions that people inhabit in their daily life: schools, hospitals, workplaces, factories, offices, etc. And something that I see happening is something that I would like to call a sort of "democratization of intimacy." And what do I mean by that? I mean that what people are doing is, in fact, they are sort of, with their communication channels, they are breaking an imposed isolation that these institutions are imposing on them. How are they doing this? They're doing it in a very simple way, by calling their mom from work, by IMing from their office to their friends, by texting under the desk. The pictures that you're seeing behind me are people that I visited in the last few months. And I asked them to come along with the person they communicate with most. And somebody brought a boyfriend, somebody a father. One young woman brought her grandfather. For 20 years, I've been looking at how people use channels such as email, the mobile phone, texting, etc. What we're actually going to see is that, fundamentally, people are communicating on a regular basis with five, six, seven of their most intimate sphere. Now, lets take some data. Facebook. Recently some sociologists from Facebook -- Facebook is the channel that you would expect is the most enlargening of all channels. And an average user, said Cameron Marlow, from Facebook, has about 120 friends. But he actually talks to, has two-way exchanges with, about four to six people on a regular base, depending on his gender. Academic research on instant messaging also shows 100 people on buddy lists, but fundamentally people chat with two, three, four -- anyway, less than five. My own research on cellphones and voice calls shows that 80 percent of the calls are actually made to four people. 80 percent. And when you go to Skype, it's down to two people. A lot of sociologists actually are quite disappointed. I mean, I've been a bit disappointed sometimes when I saw this data and all this deployment, just for five people. And some sociologists actually feel that it's a closure, it's a cocooning, that we're disengaging from the public. And I would actually, I would like to show you that if we actually look at who is doing it, and from where they're doing it, actually there is an incredible social transformation. There are three stories that I think are quite good examples. The first gentleman, he's a baker. And so he starts working every morning at four o'clock in the morning. And around eight o'clock he sort of sneaks away from his oven, cleans his hands from the flour and calls his wife. He just wants to wish her a good day, because that's the start of her day. And I've heard this story a number of times. A young factory worker who works night shifts, who manages to sneak away from the factory floor, where there is CCTV by the way, and find a corner, where at 11 o'clock at night he can call his girlfriend and just say goodnight. Or a mother who, at four o'clock, suddenly manages to find a corner in the toilet to check that her children are safely home. Then there is another couple, there is a Brazilian couple. They've lived in Italy for a number of years. They Skype with their families a few times a week. But once a fortnight, they actually put the computer on their dining table, pull out the webcam and actually have dinner with their family in Sao Paulo. And they have a big event of it. And I heard this story the first time a couple of years ago from a very modest family of immigrants from Kosovo in Switzerland. They had set up a big screen in their living room, and every morning they had breakfast with their grandmother. But Danny Miller, who is a very good anthropologist who is working on Filipina migrant women who leave their children back in the Philippines, was telling me about how much parenting is going on through Skype, and how much these mothers are engaged with their children through Skype. And then there is the third couple. They are two friends. They chat to each other every day, a few times a day actually. And finally, finally, they've managed to put instant messaging on their computers at work. And now, obviously, they have it open. Whenever they have a moment they chat to each other. And this is exactly what we've been seeing with teenagers and kids doing it in school, under the table, and texting under the table to their friends. So, none of these cases are unique. I mean, I could tell you hundreds of them. But what is really exceptional is the setting. So, think of the three settings I've talked to you about: factory, migration, office. But it could be in a school, it could be an administration, it could be a hospital. Three settings that, if we just step back 15 years, if you just think back 15 years, when you clocked in, when you clocked in to an office, when you clocked in to a factory, there was no contact for the whole duration of the time, there was no contact with your private sphere. If you were lucky there was a public phone hanging in the corridor or somewhere. If you were in management, oh, that was a different story. Maybe you had a direct line. If you were not, you maybe had to go through an operator. But basically, when you walked into those buildings, the private sphere was left behind you. And this has become such a norm of our professional lives, such a norm and such an expectation. And it had nothing to do with technical capability. The phones were there. But the expectation was once you moved in there your commitment was fully to the task at hand, fully to the people around you. That was where the focus had to be. And this has become such a cultural norm that we actually school our children for them to be capable to do this cleavage. If you think nursery, kindergarten, first years of school are just dedicated to take away the children, to make them used to staying long hours away from their family. And then the school enacts perfectly well. It mimics perfectly all the rituals that we will find in offices: rituals of entry, rituals of exit, the schedules, the uniforms in this country, things that identify you, team-building activities, team building that will allow you to basically be with a random group of kids, or a random group of people that you will have to be with for a number of time. And of course, the major thing: learn to pay attention, to concentrate and focus your attention. This only started about 150 years ago. It only started with the birth of modern bureaucracy, and of industrial revolution. When people basically had to go somewhere else to work and carry out the work. And when with modern bureaucracy there was a very rational approach, where there was a clear distinction between the private sphere and the public sphere. So, until then, basically people were living on top of their trades. They were living on top of the land they were laboring. They were living on top of the workshops where they were working. And if you think, it's permeated our whole culture, even our cities. If you think of medieval cities, medieval cities the boroughs all have the names of the guilds and professions that lived there. Now we have sprawling residential suburbias that are well distinct from production areas and commercial areas. And actually, over these 150 years, there has been a very clear class system that also has emerged. So the lower the status of the job and of the person carrying out, the more removed he would be from his personal sphere. People have taken this amazing possibility of actually being in contact all through the day or in all types of situations. And they are doing it massively. The Pew Institute, which produces good data on a regular basis on, for instance, in the States, says that -- and I think that this number is conservative -- 50 percent of anybody with email access at work is actually doing private email from his office. I really think that the number is conservative. In my own research, we saw that the peak for private email is actually 11 o'clock in the morning, whatever the country. 75 percent of people admit doing private conversations from work on their mobile phones. 100 percent are using text. The point is that this re-appropriation of the personal sphere is not terribly successful with all institutions. I'm always surprised the U.S. Army sociologists are discussing of the impact for instance, of soldiers in Iraq having daily contact with their families. But there are many institutions that are actually blocking this access. And every day, every single day, I read news that makes me cringe, like a $15 fine to kids in Texas, for using, every time they take out their mobile phone in school. Immediate dismissal to bus drivers in New York, if seen with a mobile phone in a hand. Companies blocking access to IM or to Facebook. Behind issues of security and safety, which have always been the arguments for social control, in fact what is going on is that these institutions are trying to decide who, in fact, has a right to self determine their attention, to decide, whether they should, or not, be isolated. And they are actually trying to block, in a certain sense, this movement of a greater possibility of intimacy. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars
Some thoughts for consideration. 15% of the population seems like an odd area to focus when determining access to fuel at home. Also, note, you can plug your BEV into a standard 120v/15 Amp outlet to recharge most of the avg daily miles an average driver would use. So, not only can you charge in a rented house you share with roommates, you can charge while staying at an airbnb on vacation.
I can understand wanting to educate people on FCEV, but the presentation of the data seems biased. From my research on the topic, two very notable things are not being mentioned as of yet (perhaps on an upcoming video). The speed of technology development for BEVs is going up at a similar rate to its adoption. So even questions of range increase being tied to weight of the vehicle is shifting as BEV tech is developing new batteries with much higher energy density. While current FCEV tech does beat out BEV on this graph, if technology improvements continue on the current trend, BEV will be much closer to FCEV in the not so distant future.
The other major item is how exactly H-fuel is created. As of now, my understanding is the vast majority of hydrogen we need to fuel what few hydrogen vehicles we have now is generated using unsustainable methods requiring natural gas/electrolysis. If my memory serves me correctly, it takes more energy from the grid just to create the fuel than the amount of energy it can provide to the vehicle, let alone if that energy were just directly placed into a BEV. So increasing the number of FCEVs would currently cause a spike in pollutants in order to create the Hydrogen fuel needed. Not to say that FCEV tech cannot get to a point where fuel development is sustainable, but as i understand, they are nowhere near that at this time.
Personally, I would love to see FCEV become an option at some point, but if someone were to give me a billion dollars today and say, you can spend this on developing either FCEV, BEV or both; with where we are today, I would put nearly every penny into BEV. That is currently the safest and fastest route to a more sustainable future.
I would love to see another special done on BEVs after doing a cross country drive in one of the more developed vehicles, speaking with some BEV experts, and speaking with some experts in energy development to understand current/future tech and how they can truly effect our grid and societal move for a less polluted more sustainable future. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Hello HackerNews!I have a full-time job, but love building productivity tools in my spare time. Some time ago, my dad told me that his Gmail account was full and asked whether I could help. I built a simple app for him, and later decided to make it into a product. With the recent news that Google is discontinuing free storage for photos, more and more people are facing a similar problem.Unattach ( is a desktop app for downloading and/or removing Gmail attachments from many emails at once. You can use it to free up your Google storage, which is shared between Gmail, Photos and other Google apps. For most people, using Unattach is cheaper than buying more Google storage; for tech-savvy users, it’s free.The hardest thing about Unattach has been balancing user trust and commercial potential. The app requires edit permissions to the user’s Gmail account in order to remove attachments. Therefore, it is important to establish trust between myself and the user. Many users felt significantly more at ease if they could build the app from source (or at least knowing that they could), in addition to the app being certified by Google. On the other hand, the more revenue I receive from the app, the more incentive I have to continue supporting it.The model I ended up with involves sharing the source code (under a restricted Shared Source license: so tech-savvy users can build and run it for free, and offering pre-built installers for a fee. That is, the software is free and the source is shared (though it's not “open source”), and users pay for the convenience of installers. The model has been working reasonably well.Users of Unattach are generally very happy with it, so I wanted more people to know about it. I launched the app on ProductHunt ( earlier today, and am now sharing it with HackerNews.Happy to answer any questions you may have! | 0 | 1 | 0 |
In the past I've been a relatively creative person. Creating side projects and working on my music hobby. The past 6 months however have been an absolute slog in terms of my creative endeavors.I quit drinking and smoking marijuana a little over a year ago...not sure if I should pick up the latter again to see if it sparks something.I had a big life change of moving across the country last month and being a first time home owner that I thought was weighing on me. But since being here this creative rut has continued.I'm also quite over analytical when it comes to my artistic hobbies. I dream of becoming a famous X, and I feel that has sucked a lot of the enjoyment out of it, to the point where it might be hard for me to do it without this ego-driven motive.Any ideas on how I can kick start the creative process and enjoy it again? | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Terrible service - but you kept getting asked to leave a postive review
Terrible service for 6 months. Nearly 20 support tickets in just 6 months. And the amount of times I was asked to leave a review when they fix the problem. Now I'm asking myself, why are there so MANY problems in the first place that needs fixing!!
Their email server seems to crash every month. Then my outlook stops working, just to find that apparently I am the only client with email problems after they repaired their server.
Now that Im moving my services away, they cant even get that right to release my domain. Friday I phoned at 3pm to ask what the heck is happening. Promises to phone back. When I finally phoned back at 16h15...crickets - they were CLOSED for the weekend. No after hour support. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I was reading a verge article [1], and this stood out to me.> But in STEM fields, directory structure remains crucially important. Astronomers, for example, may work with hundreds of thousands of files in the same format — which can be unwieldy to scale to a searchable system, Plavchan says.Anecdotally, I've found searchable systems to be lukewarm. Search engines like Google are good for out-of-the-blue questions, but when looking within local files or data inside programs, search systems struggle to get what I need quickly. If I remember a specific file name, Spotlight search on macOS usually tells me what I need, while the default search on Windows does more or less the same. But these search systems never really help me find things in-depth, perhaps some mathematical formula embedded somewhere in a PDF file compiled from LaTeX. Or these search systems are not as forgiving when I'm trying to look for something that isn't text-based, like pictures or 3D assets.Search is complex, so what can I do to depend less on these built-in systems? How can I make things more searchable in general? What methodological approach can be adopted to make searching for something, regardless of context, better?Mindful folder structures, tagging files, consistent naming, and associating content to regular text as much as I can is a start, but I wonder if there's more that I'm failing to do.[1] | 0 | 0 | 1 |

The thesis explores the changing relations between the Zimbabwean state and local nongovernmental\ud
organizations (NGOs) after independence. It focuses on debates over the role\ud
of NGOs in democratization in developing countries, using Zimbabwe as an example. The\ud
thesis argues that the study of democratization is best accomplished through detailed empirical\ud
case studies, relying on historical narratives and participant-observation research. Such research\ud
reinforces our understanding of democratization as a complex and dynamic process.\ud
The thesis proposes a framework for understanding state and society relations in Zimbabwe,\ud
emphasizing the ruling party’s use of coercive and consent-generating mechanisms to establish\ud
hegemony over the new nation. It examines the changing relationship between NGOs and the\ud
state after independence, when the ruling party’s efforts to include most groups within its\ud
nationalist coalition extend to NGOs. Case studies of NGO coalitions show how activist\ud
NGOs fail to mobilize others owing to the unwillingness of many NGOs to challenge the\ud
ruling party’s control over policy-making.\ud
The establishment of the National Constitutional Assembly by some NGOs, churches and\ud
trade unionists set the stage for an increasingly tense engagement between NGOs and the state\ud
after 1997. The constitutional debate opened up the public sphere in new ways. As the ruling\ud
party attempted to retain control over the political sphere and the constitutional debate, NGO\ud
politics became increasingly polarized. The emergence of the opposition Movement for\ud
Democratic Change, and the prominence of NGO activists within its leadership, led to further\ud
conflict. After losing the February 2000 constitutional referendum, the regime sanctioned\ud
violent attacks on white farmers, businesspeople, and NGOs. While the ruling party attempted\ud
to shore up its support through nationalist rhetoric and financial incentives, groups perceived\ud
to oppose the state were excluded and vilified | 1 | 0 | 0 |

The design is beautiful, but overpriced for what you get -- a printed piece of fabric, with remnants of the printed manufacturing guides on the back margins. The design also appears more horizontally stretched out than the example photo for the item depicts. Also there were a number of small stains on the white fabric, some of which look like they could be blood. All in all it's disappointing since the product listing makes it look better than it is. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

# Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: The Different Types of OCD & How They Present in Adults and Children
(OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate distress. While the underlying mechanisms of OCD are similar, the condition can present in various forms, depending on the individual’s specific obsessions and compulsions. Importantly, the way OCD manifests may differ between adults and children.
This article explores the different types of OCD, providing insight into how they appear in both age groups to foster understanding and encourage timely intervention.
##
### **Contamination**
**Obsessions:** Fear of germs, illness, or being “contaminated” by substances.
**Compulsions:** Excessive cleaning, handwashing, or avoiding perceived sources of contamination (e.g., shaking hands).
* **Adults**: May avoid public spaces, refuse to touch common items (like doorknobs), or clean obsessively despite visible skin irritation.
* **Children**: Often express fear of getting sick or contaminating loved ones. They may avoid playing outdoors or using shared school supplies.
### **Harm**
**Obsessions:** Fear of causing harm to oneself or others, either accidentally or intentionally.
**Compulsions:** Seeking reassurance, avoiding specific objects (e.g., knives), or mentally reviewing actions to ensure no harm was caused.
* **Adults**: May frequently ask others if they seemed angry or acted aggressively, or avoid activities like driving due to fear of causing accidents.
* **Children**: Often worry they might accidentally hurt classmates or family members and may avoid games or sports involving physical contact.
### **Symmetry and Order**
**Obsessions:** Need for things to be arranged “just right” or symmetrical to feel balanced or prevent bad outcomes.
**Compulsions:** Arranging, counting, or repeating actions until they feel “correct.”
* **Adults**: Might spend hours organizing their desks or personal items and become distressed when things are moved.
* **Children**: Frequently re-arrange toys, demand perfect alignment of objects, or redo school assignments repeatedly to “make it right.”
### **Intrusive Thoughts**
**Obsessions:** Unwanted, disturbing thoughts or images, often of a violent, sexual, or religious nature.
**Compulsions:** Mental rituals, avoidance of triggering situations, or seeking reassurance about morality or character.
* **Adults**: May feel ashamed and hide their obsessions, fearing judgment. Common themes include religious blasphemy or inappropriate sexual thoughts.
* **Children**: Often seek excessive reassurance from parents about being “good” or whether they will “go to heaven.”
### **Hoarding**
**Obsessions:** Fear of losing items or a belief that discarding things could lead to harm or regret.
**Compulsions:** Accumulating unnecessary items and an inability to discard them, even if they lack value.
* **Adults**: Tend to hoard items like newspapers, clothing, or sentimental objects, often rationalizing the behavior.
* **Children**: May collect toys, school projects, or seemingly random objects and become upset if parents attempt to throw them away.
### **Checking**
**Obsessions:** Fear of making mistakes or something going wrong due to negligence.
**Compulsions:** Repeatedly checking locks, appliances, or work to ensure safety or accuracy.
* **Adults**: Often check doors, stoves, or emails multiple times, leading to significant delays in daily routines.
* **Children**: Frequently re-check homework answers or seek reassurance that they locked their lockers or packed their school bags correctly.
### **Relationship**
**Obsessions:** Doubts and fears about relationships, such as whether a partner is the “right one” or if the relationship is strong enough.
**Compulsions:** Seeking reassurance from a partner, overanalyzing interactions, or comparing relationships to others.
* **Adults**: Often analyze texts or conversations obsessively, fearing a minor disagreement signifies a failing relationship.
* **Children**: May constantly question friendships, asking peers for validation about whether they are liked.
## **How OCD Differs Between Adults and Children**
### **OCD in Adults**
* **Awareness**: Adults are often more aware that their obsessions and compulsions are irrational, which can lead to shame or secrecy.
* **Impact**: Symptoms may interfere with work, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
* **Coping**: Adults may develop sophisticated rituals to hide their compulsions from others.
###
* **Understanding**: Younger children might not recognize their behaviors as irrational and may struggle to articulate their distress.
* **Impact**: Symptoms often affect academic performance, friendships, and family interactions.
* **Parental Role**: Parents may inadvertently accommodate compulsions, such as helping a child repeatedly check homework.
## **Diagnosis and Treatment**
**Diagnosis**: OCD is diagnosed through clinical evaluation, considering the presence of obsessions, compulsions, and the impact on daily functioning.
**Treatment Options**:
1. **Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)**: Specifically, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is highly effective in helping individuals confront obsessions without engaging in compulsions.
2. **Medication**: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can reduce symptoms in both adults and children.
3. **Family Support**: Particularly important for children, family involvement can help create a supportive environment that discourages compulsive behaviors.
## **Final Thoughts**
OCD is a complex disorder that takes many forms and can affect people of all ages. Early recognition and intervention are key to managing symptoms and improving quality of life. By understanding the different types of OCD and their presentations, caregivers and mental health professionals can provide tailored support and compassionate care.
If you or someone you know may be struggling with OCD, reach out to one of our qualified mental health professionals here at to explore treatment options. With the right support, individuals with OCD can lead fulfilling lives.

# Signs of Good Parenting: Reflecting on the Impact of Your Childhood
Many of us find ourselves reflecting on how we were raised, thinking about how our parents’ actions, values, and habits shaped us. Looking at our past and how we were raised can help us become better parents ourselves. Here are some key qualities that can signal positive parenting, each representing the unique ways parents nurture, guide, and support their children.
##### Attunement: The Power of Being Seen and Heard
Were your parents attentive listeners? Did they try to understand your world and meet you where you were emotionally? Attunement means they were focused on *you* as an individual, creating a safe and nurturing environment. A strong parent-child relationship includes the ability of parents to truly see and respond to their child’s needs and emotions.
##### Appreciation for the Small Things
Good parents know that even small moments in a child’s life are important. They validate your excitement or sadness, even if what you were going through may seem trivial from an adult perspective. This quality is about appreciating the child’s reality and respecting their experiences.
##### Encouragement of Self-Discovery
Every child goes through unique phases as they figure out who they are and what they like. Some of us were wearing a Spiderman costume to school, watching the same movie every night or dressing goth (it’s not a phase, mom!”). Great parenting involves having faith that a child will find their true self in time, creating space for them to try new things, question norms and express themselves fully – even if they don’t fully understand it themselves.
##### Forgiveness and
Everyone makes mistakes, and children are learning as they go. Did your parents give you the benefit of the doubt and allow room for growth and learning? Forgiving parents interpret behavior through a compassionate lens, aiming to understand rather than criticize, which helps children learn from their mistakes without feeling ashamed.
##### Embracing Imperfection
but rather shows up as their true, imperfect self. Parents should allow themselves to make mistakes and grow alongside their kids. This shows them that life isn’t about being flawless. Embracing imperfection teaches children that they don’t have to be perfect to be valued and that mistakes are natural and often help us grow.
##### Being Boring – Or Predictable
Consistency is comforting for children, and a predictable environment offers security. Did your parents keep their emotions balanced and moods steady? “Boring”, but consistent parents understand that children thrive with routine and reliability. This ensures that the kid’s own ups and downs don’t create unnecessary stress for the family.
##### Unconditional Love
One of the defining features of good parenting is —the love that gives without asking for anything in return. Hopefully your parents loved and supported you, even if you sometimes didn’t appreciate it at the time. Offering unreciprocated love fosters a child’s self-worth and emotional health, teaching them that they are worthy of love simply by being themselves.
##### Reflecting on Your Own Experience
Good parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating a space where a child feels seen, accepted, and supported, helping them build a strong foundation for self-confidence and resilience. Which of these qualities resonates most with you? Reflecting on your own childhood can reveal what worked well, and what you might carry forward or adapt as you consider your own parenting values.
# The Benefits of Family Therapy
Therapy is usually referred to individuals for their own personal stressors. Therapy can benefit individuals, couples, families, and many different dynamics of interpersonal relationships! In our increasingly busy world, where family members often juggle conflicting schedules and unique stressors, it’s easy to lose sight of shared goals and values.
Family therapy serves as a pathway not only to resolve conflicts but also to nurture closer, more supportive relationships, whether families are addressing major issues or simply looking to strengthen their bond.
### Some in Depth Benefits of Family Therapy
Communication between family members can improve. Having a therapist gives families the opportunity to discuss issues with a neutral party. They can help facilitate dialogue, identify unproductive patterns, and teach constructive ways to express feelings.
Family therapy can provide a safe space to address unresolved issues and trauma within the family. Therapists guide families to acknowledge and understand old wounds, reducing emotional baggage. By working through issues as a unit, families create collective healing and support systems. This can prevent past traumas from spilling into current relationships, allowing for a healthier family dynamic.
It is also possible to develop healthy boundaries and roles with the assistance of a family therapist. This is especially useful for blended families, families with teens or families going through significant transitions like childhood development or loss of life. Families can learn to support one another while respecting personal space and clarify roles and expectations within the family.
Lastly, let’s explore the ripple effect that one family member’s mental health challenges can have on the rest of the family, and how therapy can help. It’s a supportive environment for all family members to understand conditions like anxiety, depression, or substance use issues without stigma. It empowers family members to develop skills to support each other. Addressing mental health issues as a family can lead to more sustainable and collective healing.
With these benefits in mind, to one of our therapists here at . who are licensed marriage and family therapists!
# We’ve Partnered with Mentaya
We are excited to announce that we have just partnered with , a mental health company specializing in assisting clients to use their out-of-network benefits for on therapy!
#### What are out-of-network benefits?
* If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, it means they will cover a portion of the cost when you see a therapist who doesn’t have a direct contract with your insurance company.
* Unlike in-network providers, who bill your insurance company directly, with out-of-network therapists, you typically pay for the session upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance for reimbursement.
* Insurance companies often reimburse a percentage of the therapist’s fee, usually after you meet an out-of-network deductible. For example, after you meet a $1,000 deductible, your insurance may reimburse 50-80% of the session cost.
* Out-of-network benefits give you the flexibility to choose a therapist based on your needs and preferences, not just those in-network.

# Jefferson Literary and Debating Society
**The oldest student organization at the University of Virginia**
**ΦΠΘ**
## “The faculties of the mind are excited by collision” – The Society’s Oath
The Jefferson Literary and Debating Society is the oldest student-run organization at the University of Virginia. The Jefferson Society is a club where speech, literature, and topics of interest are discussed in good company and with lively spirit. We believe we learn and grow best when our opinions are challenged in open discussion with members of other ideologies and backgrounds.
Undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of school or study, are invited to join the Society. The Jefferson Society has served as an intellectual home for a future U.S. president, several Senators, a Nobel Laureate, world-famous poets, journalists, and countless more. We gather on Friday nights at 7:29pm in Hotel C, West Range to deliver speeches on our favorite topics, debate pressing matters, discuss literature, and have a good time with friends old and new.
We are a lot more than our Friday meetings. Each semester, you can find us hosting formals, competing in Field Days against other student organizations, grabbing dinner on the Corner, and much more. There are many ways to experience the Society during your time at the University, and we welcome you to interview with us at the beginning of each semester and attend our frequent public events.

**A Brief History of the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society**
The page presented is by no means extensive. It is intended to provide a high-level overview of the Society’s nearly two-hundred-year history—history that gives us a lot to be proud of, and an equal amount to reflect upon. If interested, we have provided links to some more detailed historical accounts, and we are always open to sharing our story with those curious. If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to our Historian, .

1825
## Our Founding
Founded on July 14, 1825, the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society is the oldest active collegiate debating society in the United States. In protest of the chaotic meetings and open membership policy of the Patrick Henry Society, 16 disillusioned members founded the Jefferson Society. Over the years, the Society has served as a microcosm of the University of Virginia, playing a key role in the University’s social fabric and evolving alongside the University at large.
1860s
## Civil War
As the University saw a dramatic downturn in the student population at the outbreak of the Civil War, the Society’s existence was threatened due to the members’ decision to donate their entire treasury in support of the Confederate cause. However, with the support of a small, committed core of members the Society survived the war and its financial difficulties.
via The Woodrow Wilson Library and Museum
1865-1930s
## Reconstruction, Woodrow Wilson, and the 20th Century
Today, the Society continues to meet in Hotel C, West Range (commonly referred to as Jefferson Hall or the Hall) which has been in its care since 1837. Keeping with its origins as a literary and debating organization, the Society organizes numerous debates, oratory competitions and poetry recitations through the academic year. In addition, it hosts the Wilson and Founder’s Day Banquets, in addition to the annual Restoration Ball which contributes to the unique social life at the University of Virginia.
1960s-1970s
## Integration and Co-education
Like institutions all across the nation, the University began the long overdue processes of integration and coeducation. The Society could not ignore these changes. Despite the protests of a significant portion of the Regular Membership, the Jefferson Society welcomed its first African-American member, Dr. Wesley Harris, and its first female member, Judge Barbara Lynn, in 1963 and 1972, respectively. Today, you can find their portraits within the Hall.

#### Important Membership Terms

* Seeing us at the Activities Fair on *Monday, August 26, 2024* (only for Fall Semester)
* Joining our Spring 2025 info sessions Monday 1/20 from 7-8pm and Tuesday 1/21 from 7-8pm

## How to Interview
Interviews are not scheduled in advance. Please come to Jefferson Hall when convenient and you will be assigned the next available panel of Regular Members. Interviews will be conducted at the following times:
* Monday, January 20th: 10AM-7PM
* Tuesday, January 21st: 10AM-7PM
* Wednesday, January 22nd: 10AM-5:30PM
* Thursday, January 23rd: 10AM-6PM
* Friday, January 24th: 10AM-6PM
We highly recommend interviewing as early in the week as possible to minimize waiting times. If you are unable to make the above listed times for any reason at all, please reach out immediately to membership.chair@jeffersonsociety.org to schedule an interview at a time that works best for you.
### What is an interview?
To become a Probationary Member, students must interview with four to five of the Society’s Regular Members. Interviews are:
* 30-45 minutes
* Centered around three topics of your choice
* A conversation that encourages you to defend your positions (make claims! defend them!)
* *The only criteria for becoming a Probationary Member*
### Interview Criteria
* **Passion**: the conversation is lively and generally enjoyable
* **Logical coherence**: the arguments are internally consistent and logically flow together
* **Respectful and friendly attitude**: the interviewee is generally pleasant to talk with
* **Responsiveness and engagement**: the interviewee is willing to wrestle with opposing ideas
* **Knowledge of subject**: the interviewee demonstrates wide-ranging knowledge of their chosen topics
* **Effective speaking style**: the interviewee is articulate and even captivating at times
#### How do I choose my topics?
The interviewee may choose any topic for the interview. There is no set of topics the Society likes to see, and we highly discourage interviewees from trying to pick topics that way. The Society looks for the ability to effectively articulate and defend positions, for deep knowledge, and for intellectual curiosity. Current members have successfully discussed politics, economics, superheroes, sports, pop culture, and literature, among many other topics, in their interviews. Pick topics you are passionate about and knowledgeable of.
**While interviewees typically frame their topics as arguments, discussions are also more than welcome.** The purpose of the interview is to gauge the interviewee’s ability to respond to in-depth questions, demonstrate deep knowledge, and clearly articulate their point. As such, we also recommend that interviewees avoid picking broad topics and instead narrow their focus (Ex: instead of politics narrow the topic down to public school budgets).
### Where is Jefferson Hall?
### Our Open House is on Friday January 24th, 2025. Anyone interested in learning more about the Society is welcome to attend!
* Sippers, our pre-meeting social event, will be held at Room 7, West Lawn around 5:30 PM
* Our Open House Meeting will take place at approximately 7:29 PM at Jefferson Hall
**You will be notified of your interview result on Sunday January 26th, 2025 at 12:00 PM.**
If you do not pass your interview on the first attempt, we welcome you to try again. Many successful Regular Members were offered Probationary Membership after their second or even third interview.
**The Probationary Semester**
In your first semester in the Society, you will be considered a Probationary Member, meaning that you must complete a series of requirements before becoming a fully-fledged Regular Member. Whether it’s meeting new people, engaging with fascinating ideas for the first time, or stepping outside one’s comfort zone and forming lifelong friendships, the Probationary semester is an incredible opportunity to get to know all aspects of the Society. Through attending meetings and completing a variety of Probationary requirements, you will gain a deeper understanding of the functionings, purpose, and values of the Society. Some of the requirements to become a Regular Member include (but are not limited to):
* Presenting a speech, debate, or original literary piece
* Learning about our history
* Attending a Title IX and Anti-Hazing training
* Engaging in a reading club with an author or professor
* Attending debates and our Distinguished Speaker Series
* Getting to know your fellow Probationary and Regular Members
If you would like to learn more about the Probationary semester or feel you may need accommodations to complete your Probationary semester, please contact our Probationary Chair, Ms. Ella Duus, or alternatively, our Membership Chair, Ms. Genevieve Forrer.
# Alumni & Friends
Though you may be far from Jefferson Hall, your thoughtful probationary presentations, fiery debates, emotional duels, and unique traditions continue to have profound impacts. Without the effort of past members, the Society would not be what it is today. As often retold through generations of members, we are a living society. But we hold a debt to our alumni—and other supporters—for what they have handed down to us. And for that, we are grateful.
The Alumni Relations Committee was restarted Fall 2022 to further relations with our alumni. Previously the duty of the Room 7 Resident, the Society believed we could be making a greater effort to strengthen ties with our large network of alumni. Whether it be hosting YAR (Young Alumni Reunion), improving the experience for alumni visiting the Hall, or holding networking events, the Society believes that strong alumni ties result in a better Society.
The Alumni Relations Chair handles all questions and concerns of alumni. To share your information with the Society for networking purposes or to get emails if a fellow alum from your era is speaking, please fill out this . For any questions or concerns, reach out to this semester’s Alumni Relations Chair, Margot Sellgren, at aig.chair@jeffersonsociety.org.

The promotion of literature is fundamental to the very name of our society. The Pen & Ink Committee works to accomplish this by encouraging the presentation of literary content during Society meetings and by hosting recitation competitions throughout the year. In the Fall, the Poe Contest features readings of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, a former Secretary of the Society, while in the Spring the committee hosts two poetry recitation competitions: Jefferslam and the McNamara Memorial Recitation Competition.
Outside of meetings, the committee hosts FaculTea, an event designed to promote conversation between students and professors. Held within Jefferson Hall, FaculTea allows for Regular and Probationary Members to socialize with faculty over drinks and pastries and pursue conversations that may not otherwise occur in the classroom setting.
Additionally, each Spring, the Pen & Ink Committee publishes the Jefferson Journal, a collection of original creative works by Society members.

In a world with increasing environmental and social problems, education is widely accepted as being critical for meeting current and predicted sustainable development issues. This thesis explores possible reasons for the relatively low levels of education-for-sustainability programmes in universities in Aotearoa New Zealand, compared to selected international universities with coherent inter-disciplinary sustainability programmes of learning. The research involved qualitative in-depth interviews with two sub-sets of academic participants teaching in universities, twenty from selected international universities
and ten from universities in Aotearoa New Zealand. A grounded theory methodology
approach was chosen to analyse the extensive range of qualitative data. Analysis revealed generic essential themes underlying the experiences of the two sets of participants. Key themes included the importance of building connections between distributed sustainability leaders and the need for support from hierarchical
university leadership for developing substantive sustainability learning initiatives. A theoretical model is proposed: an active dendritic framework for university leadership for sustainability, for improving collaborative learning within and across
disciplinary areas, and building capacity for university-wide learning, leading to establishing coherent sustainability initiatives. Recommendations are offered for improving the uptake of education-forsustainability in universities in Aotearoa New Zealand, based on the research findings and the potential for using the dendritic framework for assisting connection
and collaboration between transformational sustainability leaders within the university | 1 | 0 | 0 |

How the CIA Found Osama bin Laden
Taliban offered to deliver bin Laden to CIA before the invasion of Afghanistan. But it wasnt convenient to take him down yet, lots of defense contracts were being singed. Just like invasion of Iraq, it was all a scam to get some people richer at the cost of hundreds of thousands of civilian lives. I highly doubt bin Laden actually took any tracking down, his death was just reaching its end of marketability. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars
In my country, hybrid cars are more environmentally friendly than electric, because our electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuels, and I mean crude oil. At least, that was the conclusion of a survey I took on my second semester of my electrical engineering study | 1 | 0 | 0 |
