GlamCorner, a Sydney-based online rental service for designer fashion, has raised seed funding from AirTree Ventures.
Founded by Dean Jones and Audrey Khaing-Jones, GlamCorner allows users to rent designer dresses for between 10-15% the cost of purchasing those dresses outright.
It's a concept well tested in markets outside of Australia. Rent the Runway offers the same service in the United States, and recently raised over $US100 million in venture capital. There's also Brazil's Dress and Go, and US-based Bag, Borrow or Steal, which offers a similar service for handbags. Other American startups include Le Tote which offers a subscription-based rental service for a broader range of clothes and accessories, and Style Lend a US peer-to-peer marketplace for borrowing clothes.
The funding, neither Jones or Airtree would disclose the exact amount, will be used to take most of GlamCorner's technology development in-house, increase its inventory and build a more scalable logistics platform. Given the competition offshore, GlamCorner only has plans to target the Australian market for the time being.
"We're unashamedly Australian focused for now, there's still huge potential to grow in the Australian market," he says.
The success of Rent the Runway, which raised $US60 million in December last year at a valuation of up to $600 million, is what made GlamCorner an appealing investment, according to AirTree co-founder and partner Craig Blair.
"The success of overseas designer rental players such as Rent the Runway demonstrate the potential of this business model," he says.
Currently GlamCorner has over 500 dresses available for rent and has been doubling its revenue every year since launch in 2012 and has a social media following of around 30,000 people, Jones says.
Rent the Runway investors were particularly keen on the potential of its subscription-based business model, a model it adopted only recently. GlamCorner currently charges a single fee for dress rentals, Jones wasn't willing to say if subscription payments were being considered.
GlamCorner is the third startup to receive investment from AirTree's latest fund, which was launched in July 2014. In December AirTree led a $6 million Series B round for design crowdsourcing platform DesignCrowd, and a $1.5 million "pre-Series A" funding round for pet-sitting Marketplace Pawshake.

Q: How to move Storefront theme footer widgets out of the footer row? The Storefront theme footer.php file has an action which inserts the footer widgets AND the footer credit together. Here is the code section

            <?php
            /**
             * Functions hooked in to storefront_footer action
             *
             * @hooked storefront_footer_widgets - 10
             * @hooked storefront_credit         - 20
             */
            do_action( 'storefront_footer' );
            ?>

I want to move the storefront_footer_widgets portion out of the container
 and insert it into a new container
 just above the other container. So the new structure would be like this:

            @hooked storefront_footer_widgets - 10

            @hooked storefront_credit         - 20

How can I do this?

A: You should be able to split it like this. I didn't test but it should work.
First add these to your child theme's functions.php
add_action( 'storefront_footer1', 'storefront_footer_widgets', 10 );
add_action( 'storefront_footer2', 'storefront_credit', 10 );

Then you can call them in your custom footer.php

  <?php
    do_action( 'storefront_footer1' );
  ?>

  <?php
    do_action( 'storefront_footer2' );
  ?>

RN challenges. Is being a registered nurse hard?
Career › Registered nurse › RN challenges. Is being a registered nurse hard?
Being a registered nurse (RN) can be challenging, as it requires a significant amount of knowledge, skill, and dedication. RNs are responsible for providing patient care, education, and emotional support, and must be able to make quick and accurate decisions in a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment.
Some of the specific challenges that RNs may face include:
• Dealing with critically ill patients and emergency situations
• Managing a heavy workload and long hours, including night and weekend shifts
• Coping with the emotional stress of working with patients who are suffering or dying
• Keeping up with the latest advances in medical technology and treatment protocols
• Maintaining a high level of knowledge and skill in order to provide safe and effective care
Additionally, RNs often work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and must be able to multitask and make quick decisions. They also may need to work with a diverse group of people, including patients, families, and other healthcare professionals.
That being said, the rewards of being an RN can be significant. RNs have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of patients and their families and to work in a field that is both challenging and rewarding. Many RNs find the work to be fulfilling and meaningful, and there are many opportunities for advancement and career development.
Nursing is a physically and emotionally demanding job, and self-care and resilience are important for RNs, just like for any other profession.
How many hours do registered nurses work?
The number of hours that registered nurses (RNs) work can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of employer, the specific job, and the RN's individual schedule.
In general, RNs who work in hospitals or other healthcare facilities may work full-time (40 hours per week) or part-time (fewer than 40 hours per week) schedules. They may also work shifts, which can include days, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. Some RNs may work rotating shifts, which means that their schedule may change from week to week.
Many RNs who work in hospitals or other healthcare facilities may have to work long shifts, which can be 12 hours or even more. They may also have to work overtime, or be on call, which means that they must be available to work even if they are not scheduled.
Working in other settings
RNs who work in other settings, such as private homes, schools, or clinics, may have more regular schedules and may work fewer hours than those who work in hospitals or other healthcare facilities.
It's worth noting that many RNs may have to work long and odd hours, night shifts, and weekends, which can be challenging for maintaining a good work-life balance. This is important to take into account when considering this career.
What is the hardest part of being an RN?
Being a registered nurse (RN) can be a challenging and demanding profession, and different RNs may find different aspects of the job to be the hardest. Some of the specific challenges that RNs may face include:
• Dealing with critically ill patients and emergency situations: RNs may have to work with patients who are suffering from serious or life-threatening conditions, and must be able to provide appropriate care in emergency situations. This can be emotionally and physically demanding.
• Managing a heavy workload and long hours: RNs may have to work long shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays, and may have to manage a heavy workload. This can lead to fatigue, stress, and burnout.
• Coping with the emotional stress of working with patients who are suffering or dying: RNs may have to work with patients who are suffering or dying, and this can be emotionally difficult. They may also have to work with patients and families who are dealing with difficult diagnoses, and provide emotional support to them.
• Keeping up with the latest advances in medical technology and treatment protocols: RNs must keep up with the latest advances in medical technology and treatment protocols, which can require a significant amount of time and effort.
• Maintaining a high level of knowledge and skill in order to provide safe and effective care: RNs must have a broad base of knowledge and skills in order to provide safe and effective care. They must also be able to think critically and make quick and accurate decisions.
• Dealing with difficult patients, family members and colleagues: RNs may have to deal with patients and families that are difficult, uncooperative or ungrateful, and also deal with colleagues that may be stressed or unsupportive.
It's worth noting that many RNs find the job to be challenging but also very rewarding, as they have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of patients and their families. They also have many opportunities for advancement and career development.

WIAA basketball: Top talents, teams collide when Waupun, Laconia meet in sectional semi
Fond du Lac Reporter
Two of the area's premiere boys basketball players will collide on the court when Waupun's Marcus Domask and Laconia's Jaylen Mahone lead their respective teams against each other in a WIAA Division 3 sectional semifinal Thursday night at Watertown High School.
Yet both the Warriors (23-1) and the Spartans (17-7) are far from one-man shows.
In a matchup of the top two seeds in their respective half of the sectional, the winner will be one win away from a trip to the state tournament, and both coaches are expecting a high-quality tussle for that spot in the sectional final.
"We know we will be in for a good sectional game first and foremost," Waupun coach Dan Domask said. "They are an experienced team as far as their coaching, have a couple of real great players on the floor and they are playing their best basketball right now.
"They are a different team than the one we saw in early January."
Waupun came out with a win when the teams met up in Rosendale earlier this season, but it certainly wasn't easy.
Laconia led at halftime before the Warriors' pressure defense to start the second half caused the Spartans some problems and Waupun pulled away for a 57-49 win.
"We didn't handle their half-court pressure. They trapped us and got us going a little faster than we wanted to go, and that was kind of the ballgame," Laconia coach Tom King said. "The first 8 minutes they kind of took control and got an 8- to 10-point lead and maintained it the rest of the game."
In building the halftime lead, King said the Spartans were able to knock down some shots, and that will be key again Thursday.
Not just from Mahone and second-leading scorer Reed Gunnink, either. If the Spartans are going to knock off the second-ranked Warriors, they will need to get some points from other sources, including sophomores Dawson Drews and freshmen Eli Leonard and Caden Wittchow.
"Those three need to make some 3s," King said. "We need to stay aggressive on the offensive end, and it's no real secret with Jaylen and Reed, that they are going to try to take them out of the game. Knowing that, they have to be a little more aggressive offensively, but we also have to have other guys step up and make shots."
Dan Domask is aware of Laconia's top two scorers and believes the best way to slow them down is simply not to let them get going.
"Players such as Mahone and Gunnink who have a high talent level, the first thing you have to do is keep them from getting going and reaching that zone those great scorers get into," Dan Domask said. "On my end, I feel good that we have a couple defensive stoppers that will give us a good shot to prevent that from happening."
And on the other end, the Warriors have to feel good about the offensive firepower they can put out on the floor.
Marcus Domask was the leading scorer in the East Central Conference at more than 23 points per game, but Waupun features two other double-digit scorers in Owen Thuene and Trevor Vande Zande as well as Reece Homan at eight points per game.
Waupun also has gotten big scoring nights this season from Jak Lenz and Conner Kamphuis, and that balance has proven to be hard to stop for most teams.
"The one thing about this year's team is that we have more scoring versatility," Dan Domask said. "If they want to focus on Marcus — which a lot of teams do — he's trusting of his teammates and his teammates can deliver. That certainly is a good combination for us. We will share it and we will get it to guys who can finish plays at a real efficient rate."
King is concerned about trying to contain Marcus Domask and the Spartans will likely converge on him when he gets the ball in the post.
"At 6-foot-6 and talented, he's a load. It's almost giving him two if he gets it down on the block," King said. "About all you can do is try to control him and when he goes into the post, give him some help.
"But it's a combination with him, Thuene and Homan — they make a lot of plays. We will try to stop some of their sets and try to guard Domask as best we can."
Trying to knock off a team of Waupun's caliber is a daunting task, and the Warriors' opponents often enter games not really having a way to slow them down.
That's not the case with Laconia. They have played step for step and point for point with Waupun for an extended stretch and the confidence is there for the Spartans they can do it again. This time, though, Laconia hopes to keep it close for the entire 36 minutes.
"If it's a team you don't know, you don't know if you can stay with them and if you look at a lot of their scores of their games, they beat teams by a wide margin," King said. "But we were ahead of them at halftime, so we know we can play with them and I think that's helpful."

We Are Shea
What's New(s)
We Travel (Blog)
Shea Links: December
by Admin on December 13, 2019 in News
At Shea, we pride ourselves on staying on top of what's happening in design news. It helps us keep tabs on what's fresh, inspiring, and happening in the world—and we make a few headlines of our own, too. Here are some recent articles delving into design, experience, and what's buzzing in our community:
"10 Restaurant Disruptors for the Next Decade" – FSR:
The National Restaurant Association and a team of futurists from Foresight Alliance partnered to look ahead to ten prospective disruptors for the restaurant industry based on what's happening right now. These include intelligent restaurants, more growth for third-party delivery apps and off-premises ordering, non-food companies offering edible options, kitchen robots, even more food halls and markets as brick-and-mortar retail (and malls) declines, the impact of climate change, and more.
"P.S. Steak Wins the Eater Award for Design of the Year" – Shea:
The Eater 2019 Awards are out, and Shea swept up the Design of the Year award with our luxe design at P.S. Steak, in partnership with Jester concepts. Praising our renovation of the historic, iconic 510 Groveland space, the award gives special note to the dark, rich dining room and brand-new cocktail bar.
"Fourth Floor, Men's Wear. Fifth Floor, Martinis." – New York Times:
New York City department stores are adding bars in droves—from the basement bar in the new Nordstrom flagship to the new-ish Le Chalet at Saks, they're adding chic cocktail bars as an amenity for shoppers and a draw for drinkers. Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus are also getting in on the action. Bars not only serve the same purpose as department-store restaurants (keeping shoppers in the store longer), but they give a sleek, stylish new spot for shoppers to hang out and immerse themselves in the experience.
"2019 Was the Year of the Serif" – Eater:
Eater dives into 2019's food-branding trends, with serif fonts at the top of the list this year. This piece examines a handful of brands and products, noting how serif fonts lend a rounder, softer vibe to them—both visually and in concept. After several years of sleeker fonts (particularly with future-looking startups) and minimalist aesthetics, brands have shifted to the more comforting attitude of serif fonts, especially paired with pastel colors to make products seem friendlier and more artisan.
"11 Hot Markets for Quick-Service Restaurant Growth" – QSR:
Quick-service restaurants are still on the rise all around the country, and QSR breaks down the good and bad of 11 major markets where they're growing fastest. New York, for example has the benefits of population and diversity, but the drawbacks of competition and rent and labor costs. In Los Angeles, visibility and good weather, along with year-round produce and more, are pros, but cons include real-estate costs and walkability. The list also includes Miami, Austin, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, DC, Boston, and Seattle—a good background on major markets for restaurants as a whole.
"Shea to Design New MFU/Birchwood Alliance Restaurant in Former Spoonriver Space" – Shea:
A roundup of news on the passing of the Spoonriver space to the MFU/Birchwood Alliance for Shea to create a new restaurant identity and space.
"Office of the Future: More Perks, Less Personal Space" – Wall Street Journal:
The workplace debate continues to spark conversation—this piece dives into the idea of providing less personal space for employees, but more perks. Major corporations are beginning to cut down on desk and private space in their office headquarters (with many moving to a "hot-desking" format in lieu of assigned seating), instead using square footage for meeting and breakout areas, along with amenities like pools and sports areas. Furthermore, with open offices still the choice of many companies (but many with added quiet spaces for privacy), what space is devoted to which divisions can signal where they plan to focus attention. They're also embracing technology, with in-office apps to control temperature and piped-in white noise—and on the opposite end of the spectrum, further emphasis on biophilia to bring indoor workers closer to nature.
"These Will Be the Biggest Food Trends of 2020, According to Chefs" – Food & Wine:
Food & Wine chats with top chefs around the country to see what they're predicting will come next in the food world. More sustainability and environmental awareness, hyper-regional cooking, creative pairings, an emphasis on plant and vegetable-based dishes, interactive and family-style dining, smoked and fire-cooked food, and more are on the worth-reading list, which covers everything from kids' menus to immigration and first-generation cooking.
"Using Workplace Design to Reflect Brand Values" – Work Design:
In a piece that clearly reflects the Shea ethos of a space working as an extension of its brand, Work Design delves into how office design across industries should be an embodiment of a company's vibe, principles, and mission. Workplace design can be a catalyst for change in a company's operations, but needs to go back to its core values to ground the business—so determining those values from the start of the design process is key to success before integrating them by way of technology, branding, materials, furniture, etc. Equally important are designing with wellness in mind (a must as companies embrace efforts for employee health in all aspects) and creating spaces for the individual as well as the company as a whole.

Tombstone Tuesday: Johanne Marie Larsen
Johanne Marie (Larsen) Walsted of Aalborg, Denmark was sixty-three years old when she immigrated to America in the spring of 1900.1 She traveled alone; her husband of thirty-two years had passed away the year before,2 and most of her children had already left Denmark for brighter opportunities in Iowa and Wisconsin. They had paid for her passage aboard the Norge, and she carried fifteen dollars.3
Grave of Johanna M. Walsted, 1836-1914, Graceland Cemetery, Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa; image date 2001, privately held by Melanie Frick.
Johanne was christened on 28 September 1836 in Bolle, Nordjylland, Denmark, the daughter of Lars Jensen Bak and Ane Cathrine Christensdatter.4 At the age of thirty, she married Christian Jens Jacobsen Walsted,5 a widower with two young children, Jens Jacob and Lars Marinus Walsted. The couple went on to have seven more children together: Jensine Kathrine, Eskild, Lars Peter, Mandrup, Anna Kathrine, Ellen Eskelline, and Jens Jacob Walsted.6 All but two of the children, the elder Jens Jacob and Eskild, survived to adulthood.7 Christian was a shoemaker, and eventually moved with his family from rural Dronninglund to the city of Aalborg,8 where he died in 1899.9
By the time Johanne made her journey to America, six of her seven surviving children and step-children awaited her arrival. Only her youngest son remained in Denmark; he was to follow two years later.10 In the years to come, Johanne moved between the homes of her children, some of whom she hadn't seen in more than a decade. She was enumerated in the 1900 U.S. census less than two months after her arrival in the country, at which time she resided with a daughter in Iowa;11 she later joined another daughter in Oklahoma City.12
Johanne's health may have been poor in her later years; a notation on the ship manifest suggests that she had a deformity of some kind,13 and her death record stated that she suffered from senility.14 Johanne Marie (Larsen) Walsted died at the age of seventy-eight on 3 November 1914 in Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa. Services were held at the Danish Lutheran Church, and she was buried at Graceland Cemetery.14

A Mystery Solved: Identifying a Family Photograph
Last year, my cousin's wife and I embarked on a combined research effort to track down the descendants of Christian Jens Jacobsen Walsted (1833-1899) of Aalborg, Denmark. Christian, a shoemaker,1 married twice, first to Mariane Jensen,2 and later to Johanne Marie Larsen.3 In all, seven of his children survived to adulthood, and all eventually immigrated to America. In 1900, less than a year after Christian's death, Johanne joined several of their children in western Iowa.4
This unidentified photograph was shared with my cousin's wife by one of the many helpful descendants with whom we made contact.5 In all of our hours of research, we had never thought that we might come up with a photograph of our central subjects! Given that this photograph was taken in Aalborg, we immediately felt that it could be Christian and his second wife, Johanne. A librarian at the Museum of Danish America thoughtfully suggested that it might have been taken to commemorate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. This would date it to 1892.6
Christian Jens Jacobsen and Johanne Marie (Larsen) Walsted, ca. 1892, Aalborg, Denmark; privately held by L.V. [personal information withheld], 2013.
At the time of their anniversary, Christian would have been fifty-eight years old,7 and Johanne would have been fifty-five.8 These seem to be plausible ages for the couple in the photograph, particularly given the gray in the man's beard. The woman wears a flattering black dress and a headpiece over her hair. Her sleeves are puffed, but not in an exaggerated fashion.9 The man wears a three-piece suit and what appears to be a watch chain. He sits in a finely carved chair at a studio, which, according to the photograph, was located at Slotsgade 15 in Aalborg. A photographer allegedly operated at this location from 1891-1910.10
Later, I would hear from another descendant who possessed an identified copy of this same photograph,11 verifying our suspicion that it was, indeed, a photograph of Christian and Johanne (Larsen) Walsted. Success!
If you have a mystery photograph, be sure to find out if any of your relatives also have a copy. If you are able to locate a copy that is identified, and if the identification matches the clues in the photograph, you're in luck. However, even if you come across a copy that is not identified, you may be able to narrow down who is in the photograph based on the branch of the family that held it, or who initially passed it down.

Coal shortages in Asia have prompted a surge in fixtures at a time when vessels are already in short supply
Capesize rates hit new highs this week, exceeding $80,000/day, according to the Baltic Exchange, the first time it has breached this mark since 2008 and up over 400% since January. The rally is not confined to Capes, with rates across the dry bulk spectrum up significantly since the start of the year.
Surging coal demand is just the latest factor supporting the continued rise in dry bulk freight this year. On its own, coal is unlikely to have propelled rates to the levels seen this week, but in conjunction with covid-related port delays and higher demand for dry bulk commodities as economic output recovered this year, vessel supply has crossed a tipping point into a severe shortage.
The shift in emphasis towards coal is evident from projected loadings data for October. Across all vessel types, global coal loadings this week are set to hit 36.3 Mt, up 7.4 Mt w/w. Loadings next week are at 32.3 Mt; even with some slippage, it shows a clear upward trend.
Coal share on Capes begins to rise
Much of the increase is on Capesize vessels, where a slight but notable increase in the share of coal cargoes carried is emerging. Next week, projected coal loads on Capes are set to jump to 7.2 Mt, up from the current four-week moving average of 4.4 mt. For the last week of October, fixture data show a broadly even split between coal and iron ore cargoes. While this will undoubtedly ease in favor of iron ore as we get closer to the lifting date, the early bookings for coal - which typically only make up around 20% to 30% of Capesize employment - reflect the urgency in the market to secure coal. Therefore it is likely a factor driving rates higher at present.
This trend is also evident in smaller vessel sizes. From Handysize to Panamax (10,000 dwt to 77,999 dwt), coal accounted for 80% of loads over the last three years, but this has increased further to 88% in recent weeks.
Weekly global coal exports by vessel type (Mt)
Flat domestic coal production in China and rising power demand are spurring imports
China is the prime import driver at present, lifting demand for most vessel segments. Higher electricity consumption is driving demand, but domestic production is broadly flat with year-earlier levels, forcing an increase in imports. For the smaller vessels of Handysize to Panamax, a key driver has been higher exports from Indonesia to China. Volumes on these vessels had been steadily rising, even before the unofficial ban on Australian coal, but it has increased further this year. Flows to China from the Russian far eastern ports of Vanino and Shakhtyorsk are also up this year. While this short-haul voyage has mainly boosted tonnage under 78,000 dwt, Capes and Supramaxes have also benefited.
On larger tonnage, the current increase in demand for capes comes after a weak period of demand on coal routes after China effectively stopped imports from Australia. This hit the capsize segment hardest. While rates were briefly affected, they have mainly been rising this year despite this, supported by covid-related port congestion and higher demand across other dry bulks.
A shortage of stocks in India may increase imports, pushing rates higher
Arrivals to the second-largest coal importer, India, have declined sharply in recent months, likely in response to rising prices. This has led to a drawdown in stocks, leaving them at critically low levels. This is unsustainable, however, and for coal-fired plants to meet higher demand as the monsoon season ends and industrial output increases, a return to higher imports is inevitable. This will further tighten an already constrained freight market which will most keenly be felt by Capesize and Kamsarmax from Australia and Capsize and Supramax from Indonesia.
Total dry bulk congestion falls from August peak but remains high for Capes in China
While global port congestion appears to have eased slightly from the peak in August, it continues to hamper vessel availability. At present, 14% of the dry bulk fleet (in deadweight terms) has been caught up in congestion for five days or more, down from 16% in August. However, the number of Capesize vessels waiting to discharge off China remains stubbornly high, hitting 7% of the fleet at the end of September.
The last time dry rates reached these levels in 2008, a precipitous collapse followed through the Great Recession. Barring some unforeseen event, supportive fundamentals are likely to buoy the market over the coming months. Congestion created by port delays is, however, an artificial constraint on the market which could be alleviated. But the countries implementing them don't appear to be in a rush to do so for the time being.

The Fortis Flieger F-39 and F-41, Now In Midnight Blue (Live Pics & Price)
Flieger. Modernized. Now in Blue.
If there's one thing Fortis is renowned for, it certainly is its rugged and functional watches, as well as its long-lasting connection with aviation and space exploration. In this regard, one collection truly stands out since 1987, the Flieger. A watch designed as a true instrument for pilots, this enduring collection has been drastically revamped last year, with the introduction of the Flieger "redefined." Don't look for vintage inspiration, this new collection is all about performance, reliability, functionality. Following the inaugural black models of 2020, the brand new adds even more technical-looking editions to its collection, with the new time-and-date Fortis Flieger F-39 and F-41 Midnight Blue.
While the name "Flieger" often brings to mind 1940s-inspired pilot's watches, this isn't what Fortis has been trying to do here. Far from that. This new collection, launched last year, is redefining the concept, it is bringing it to the 21st century while staying true to its underlying idea. These remains proper instruments that are meant to be used and abused, which are all about functionality. These are focused watches with a mission. Comprising a chronograph, a GMT model and a pair of time-and-date models, they all share the same overall design and the same functionalities, complication aside. First seen with black dials, this well-received collection now enlarges with the addition of a blue dial, first available on the Flieger F-39 and F-41 watches, meaning the simplest, more focused versions.
Putting the new dial aside, we find back the basics of the collection, here with two different diameters offered by the brand. A good point, the case can either be ordered in 39mm or in 41mm, to adapt to every morphology or taste. The case, which is made from brushed recycled stainless steel, shows an angular, blocky shape that leaves no doubt on the instrumental vocation. Rugged and robust, it even offers a 200m water-resistance thanks to a screw-down crown and caseback, a rare feature on pilot's watches. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is coated on both sides with a very effective anti-reflective coating.
As you've guessed by its name, the Fortis Flieger is a true pilot's watch. And that shows in its features. First, the dial is framed by a bidirectional bezel graduated with a 12-hour scale, which can serve as a timer or a dual time display. The bezel is easy to operate with its highly raised coin-edge profile, and it has 24 clicks. But there's more. The redefined Fortis Flieger F-39 and F-41 (and all other watches from the collection) come with two unique functions. The first one is named "Synchroline". Also executed in fluor orange, printed between 55 to 05 seconds, its goal is to allow pilots to synchronize when flying in squadron formation; with its +/-5 second range, each pilot can adjust to his teammates when setting the watch. The second feature is named "BRIXTRACK" and concerns the hour markers. These are not classically painted on the surface but are illuminated bricks that are applied on the circular brushed dial.
New for this year is the dial's colour. Previously only available in black, the two time-and-date models can now be ordered in a Midnight Blue attire, with a vertically brushed pattern. The hours and minutes hands are also updated, as now framed in matte dark blue, still with generous use of white Super-LumiNova in the centre. All tracks and markers are also left white, bringing superior contrast day or night, as well as a technical, modern look to the watch. Finally, multiple orange accents are found all around the dial, including on the second's hand which is made with Berlac Fluor treatment. The date is framed in orange too and the 13th of the month is also Berlac Fluor orange.
These new blue editions of the Fortis Flieger F-39 and F-41 are worn on an Indigo Aviator Strap, in grey-blue olive leaf tanned genuine cow leather from sustainable production, and closed by a pin buckle in recycled stainless steel. Additionally, the block bracelet in steel that was found on the black models can also be purchased as an accessory from the brand's webshop (at CHF 450). Under the screwed and engraved solid steel caseback is a well-known, reliable automatic movement, the calibre Fortis UW-30, based on the Sellita SW 200-1. It beats at 4Hz and stores up to 38 hours of power reserve.

Tribeca Film Festival goes crypto as VIP passes will now be offered as NFTs
(Kitco News) – For many in the general public, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are considered to be overpriced jpegs with little value or use that mainly serve as tools for speculation. In reality, the crypto industry has only begun to scratch the surface of the potential applications of NFT technology.
One use case that is gaining adoption is the use of NFTs to represent tickets to sporting or entertainment events – such as the Tribeca Film Festival – which has announced that it will be offering VIP passes as digital collectibles for its upcoming events.
The new passes are a first for the film festival, developed in conjunction with the crypto exchange OKX to help familiarize the public with blockchain technology. Holders of the VIP passes will have access to unique perks such as special access to film screenings and an invitation to exclusive events with the festival's co-founders Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro.
Each pass will also receive a limited-edition Tribeca Festival item designed exclusively for 2023 NFT holders and includes a one-hour private VIP session behind the scenes at Tribeca Immersive & Games.
The NFT passes are minted on the Ethereum blockchain and can be purchased directly through the Tribeca website for a price of $899. For those who don't wish to pay by credit card, passes can also be acquired on the OKX NFT marketplace using Ether (ETH). Each NFT pass costs 0.6 ETH to mint plus the cost of gas.
According to Nate Zou, OKX's head of Web3 global growth, Tribeca NFT holders will use their OKX Wallet app to scan a QR code at certain entry points, verifying their pass and allowing them to enter events.
There are a total of 500 Tribeca passes available for the 2023 festival, which is scheduled to take place from June 7-18 in Lower Manhattan. The scenery in the area of the festival was used as the inspiration for the artwork on the NFT passes.
In June of last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that OKX signed an agreement with Tribeca to become the festival's top sponsor. The launch of NFT passes is just one facet of the partnership and has the potential to lead to the increased use of NFT technology for ticketing.
OKX reportedly opted to sign the deal with Tribeca as a way to enhance its exposure and create a long-term partnership with a respected brand. The firm thought it was a more prudent choice than forking out hundreds of millions of dollars for stadium-naming rights, as was done by FTX and Crypto.com, which have both run into funding troubles.
According to OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique, the exchange plans to use the Tribeca sponsorship to help educate filmmakers and fans on how to use cryptocurrency and related Web3 technologies responsibly, as opposed to the current focus on short-term speculation.
Future collaborations between the two organizations include the possibility of co-sponsoring the production of films designed for the metaverse while allowing creators to raise money on the blockchain and monetize their work with digital tokens.

For Ahmed Zobi, it's his mother. For Hugo Salas, a beloved grandmother. For Justin Stovner, a male relative who has endured 10 surgeries. For Dr. Derek Banyard, it's his father and the largely African American patients whose limbs he's had to amputate or who have died too young.
All have seen people they care for suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Together, the three recent UCI biomedical engineering graduates and the young physician with the UCI plastic surgery department's Center for Tissue Engineering have co-founded a startup called Syntr Health Technologies. Their first goal? Perfecting a device to quickly and inexpensively process one's own fat tissue into a potent tool to help heal dangerous foot ulcers.
Nearly 30 million diabetic Americans risk death because they can't feel their feet. Nerve dysfunction and lack of circulation mean that an ingrown toenail or small cut can go undetected, leading to deeply infected wounds that linger for months. Skin substitutes can cost up to $9,000, and many patients are simply told to keep the area clean and stay off their feet – with often disastrous outcomes such as amputation. Half of those who lose a limb die within five years.
Syntr's partners are aiming for a high-quality, effective solution at an affordable price. With their Syntrfuge technology, cells from a person's own fat could be extracted, activated and re-injected near the damaged area in under an hour, spurring the growth of healthy new tissue.
The entrepreneurs already have patents pending worldwide for their Syntrfuge-based system, conceived during a senior-year class in 2015. As part of the BioENGINE program, the students had access to Applied Innovation and other UCI technology transfer centers and awards. They received a key National Institutes of Health grant last fall and are about to seek Food & Drug Administration clearance for testing. The project is emblematic of stepped-up efforts to turn stellar campus research into real-world products.
It's not easy. After graduating in 2016, Zobi, 24, Salas, 36, and Stovner, 24, faced an important decision: Should they take $80,000-a-year engineering jobs or pass up steady employment to pursue their dream? They chose the latter. Together with Banyard, 37, they formed the company. Each has different survival strategies: living off credit cards, moving back in with parents, selling blood for cash, driving for Lyft and moonlighting at urgent-care clinics.
The undergraduates first came together because they knew they had compatible skill sets from earlier classes together. They identified promising intellectual property from Banyard's research lab and bioengineering faculty and helped them solve a dilemma. Banyard and his colleagues had built on Belgian research showing that stem cells can be activated to function three to five times better than they normally would.
This "stressing" of fat stem cells is critical to jump-start them for regenerative healing purposes. To accomplish this, the biomedical and tissue engineers were trying to develop a pump system to aid cancer and diabetes treatments, but it was slow and prone to leaks. The students took over the project and instead created a leak-free spinning device on a CD to activate the cells. They had a prototype in about a month.
The team hasn't slowed down since, winning numerous competitions and keeping up an eye-popping schedule of business pitching, online fundraising, product testing, grant writing and other tasks. They've refused to be knocked down by rejection, applying to the NIH three times before receiving a $300,000 award in October.
That was a huge milestone – not only do they have gas money now, but they're in the door for possible larger federal or state stem cell funding in coming years. That would let them work with high-level experts and preserve equity in the company rather than giving it to private investors.
Besides cash, there are other challenges: Procuring fat cells from diabetics seeking cosmetic surgery – which are precisely the cells needed – is tough, even in image-conscious Orange County. The young executives are negotiating with an area veterans hospital and others. They're starting in vivo testing and improving the aesthetics of their device, which was originally crafted with less than $100 worth of plastic and metal.
The team members are confident they'll have a market-ready product to be used in hospitals and doctors' offices within three years.


Differently from the information I gave during the past lesson of October 26th, the lesson planned for November 8th at 10:30 a.m. will be postponed to November 10th 5.00 p.m.-7.00 p.m.(at Aula blu). Hence the course of European Economics will restart on November 9th at the expected time (11.00 a.m. -1.30 p.m.). I apologize for the previous wrong information.

Q: Can I customize custom Google search engine to show or link to the first result only? I'm making a site for my web dev class that's supposed to act like ai, where the user asks a question about a computer issue and ideally, the main result would be a YouTube tutorial embedded on the site. So the site homepage would just be a search bar in the middle, kind of like google's homepage.
I want the question to just be entered in the search bar(I already designed it in html, css, and javascript) in the middle of the homepage and when the user presses enter, the result page should just be an embeded youtube video spanning the page width.
Realistically, if I were to work on a site like that I'd have to develop my own algorithm, but for demonstrating how the site would look, how can I go about customizing the Google CSE script to result in one embed video, or what's the closest way thing I can do to that.
Is the javascript in google CSE even customizable in that regard?
Also, open to trying any suggested, more open source search API.
I started learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript this year btw, so I'm sorry if I'm saying anything noobish/dumb

A: Search engine makes use of crawlers and build indexes to show up results on searches. A search's result is entirely based on how the site was ranked based on the keywords. So in short, no you can not customize the google search result. However you can implement SEO (Search Engine Optimization) on your site in order to have your site show up in search result on any search engine. For starters, you can read more about it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization

A: You can. Because you are not customizing how the public sees search results but only yours. However, there is no official customization method provided. You need to fake a Google by setting up a local website or using some user script technology.

Do You Need To Give Up Your Favourite Perfume If You're Pregnant?
Not necessarily – but you do need to be conscious about what you're spritzing on your skin.
In 2020, the conversation around beauty and health is becoming more and more nuanced. It's information overload out here. For every expert that says don't you dare wash your hair with SLS-laden shampoo (!) there's another that recommends you go right ahead. Couple this phenomenon with pregnancy, and frankly, we're exhausted.
Recently, we wrote an explainer on the most common 'nasties' to grace free-from labels (you read here) and pregnancy skincare (click this link). Another question we get asked a lot is: can you continue to wear perfume during pregnancy?
There is no right and wrong in this instance; as always, the decision is up to you. There are two major factors at play: firstly, the true meaning of fragrance on ingredient labels and b) the discussion around phthalates.
[responsive imageid='37420′ size1='0′ size2='641′ size3='1024′] [/responsive]
If you want full transparency around what's in your perfume, traditional fragrances are not your friend. For the most part, beauty brands have to abide by the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) and list what's inside each product. However, fragrance gets a free pass as it's considered proprietary or trade secret; companies don't want to give away any specifics about their formulation to avoid copy cats.
When 'fragrance' is listed on an ingredient label that single ingredient could contain a cocktail of chemicals – or it could be a simple blend of low-risk ingredients. We just don't know. But if we were to make an educated guess, we'd lean towards the former.
One known ingredient that is often lurking beneath the fragrance label is phthalates. Often phthalates are added to a scent to make it last longer. The downside? Some studies suggest that exposure to these chemicals could disrupt normal hormone function and lead to problems after birth. In light of these health concerns, several phthalates – including dibutylphthalate, diethylhexylphthalate, diisobutylphthalate and di(methyloxyhexyl)phthalate – have been banned in Australia.
The lack of transparency and ongoing research into how fragrance affects our reproductive system means that many pregnant women choose to forgo traditional perfume in favour of 'clean' formulas.
After spending years working in marketing for luxury fashion brands, Belinda Smith, founder of St. Rose, wanted to create a brand that prioritised its customers health. "We say that beauty should be clean because everything you apply is either absorbed or washes off into the ocean," Smith tells Gritty Pretty. "During pregnancy taking care of yourself has never been more important. When it comes to avoiding fragrance specifically I believe it comes down to fear of the unknown."
If you want to play it safe, there are a number of thoughtful new fragrance brands that happily steer clear of potentially harmful ingredients.
St. Rose
St. Rose was born in Australia, raised in New York – much like Smith herself. This relatively new brand is thoughtful from start to finish. "Our non-negotiables are that ingredients must be healthy to people and the planet. Every single essence brought onto our perfumers' palette adheres to our stringent guidelines for human and environmental health. This means that a very long list of 2,000 aromatic materials currently published by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), only 300 made the St. Rose cut." All formulas are cruelty free and devoid of BHT, phenoxyethanol, parabens, pthalates, nitro musks, poly or alicyclic musks and artificial colorants. These artisanal fragrances are hand-crafted using ethically sourced ingredients.
GP Loves: Juliet in White ($165) and Gypsy Cowboy ($165)
This Perth store is fast-becoming a local beauty institution. Stop by for a toxin-free facial and leave with a pregnancy safe fragrance for home. All perfumes are made in Australia from natural ingredients – including sustainably grown Indian sandalwood. Heartwood specialises in bespoke blends.
GP Loves: The make your own parfum experience is $210 per person and includes a 50ml parfum, custom label and box.
Recreation Beauty
Based in Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach, Recreation Beauty is an all-natural fragrance and beauty brand founded by former Cleo and Cosmopolitan magazine editor Nedahl Stelio. All ingredients are ethically sourced with a focus on organic where possible. The brand placed a long list of ingredients on the 'no way' list including: parabens, mineral oils, petrolatums, sulphates, phthalates, siloxanes, DEA, PEGS, BHA and BHT.
GP Loves: Stardust ($109)
These small-batch formulas are just as luxurious as the major fragrance houses. Created by the New York Times' long-standing beauty writer Bee Shapiro, this clean brand was way before its time. The idea came to Shapiro when she was pregnant in 2013 and came to fruition two years later. Chic, delicately scented and free from questionable chemicals, what more could you ask for?
GP Loves: West ($160) and Rose ($160)

[KS-E 0301]
When I was covering KU – the University of Kansas, higher education here – I received [a] package in the mail. It had a bunch of stamps on it – was very strange looking. I had a busy day. I set it aside until the end of the day. I picked it up, looked inside it and realized that in the mail I have received a great number of confidential student documents along with a letter that some individual said that these things were just being thrown into recycling for anyone to recover, and they included Social Security numbers, student ID numbers – all sorts of information.
So I started making some calls, talked to the University – they were very upset, very defensive. They wanted the information back; said there wasn't a story; we had no business having them, etc.
The University tried to make the story about us refusing to give them the documents back. But we persevered, pressed through, published. [It] became a major story around the region and the University made changes – you know, locked bins, policies for handling confidential student information, offered credit checks to the people whose information had been made available.
And really seeing how the University changed because of that story, because of the work that we had done, it was really powerful. Because it's something that really had a positive change for our community. Because these aren't the only people whose information was mishandled or was carelessly handled, and there's the potential for people's identity to be stolen because of actions like that.
And so we were able to see that positive change, very quickly, because of the story that we did and the reporting that we told.
You know, anecdotally, I would walk around offices up on campus for the next couple of weeks, and I would see new shredders coming out of boxes all the time. Because everyone had gotten the memo that you're going to treat these documents properly, you're going to treat them with care, because people's lives and livelihoods could be damaged if you mishandle them.
And so watching them do that, watching the contracts that they signed to properly handle and dispose of these documents was really heartwarming because it does hold a large institution accountable, and it makes a positive change that really help's makes our audience's life better.


Physiotherapists (also known as PTs) are sometimes known as "movement specialists" - they work with people who have pain, illness or injuries that affect physical function and mobility. Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, treat, monitor and educate patients to improve and maintain their physical health. They help patients restore or maintain movement, prevent and manage pain and promote fitness, health and wellness. Physiotherapists help their clients stay well, avoid future injury and achieve a high quality of life.
Physiotherapists work with their patients and other health professionals to collect and review health information. Then, they develop, implement and monitor customized care plans based on patient needs. Physiotherapists recommend and demonstrate appropriate therapeutic exercise for their patients. They also use a variety of manual therapies, equipment and treatment techniques in the course of their work.
Physiotherapists advocate for and support the patient in making changes within the workplace or other settings to promote the patient's activity and healing. In addition, physiotherapists often provide leadership and clinical supervision to physiotherapist assistants and aides, students and, occasionally, to other health care professionals.
Physiotherapists work in a variety of settings including hospitals, community health centres, schools, continuing care facilities, clinics and within clients' homes. Physiotherapists practice independently and as part of interprofessional teams. They collaborate with other therapists, assistants, physicians, nurses, administrative staff, managers and other health care professionals during the course of their work.
Physiotherapists may work full-time or part-time hours or on a call-in (casual) basis. They can apply for positions that are permanent, temporary or casual depending on the physical therapist department and facility needs. Shift schedules may include a combination of day, evening, weekend and holiday shifts, as well as on-call duty.
Physiotherapists may spend a lot of time walking, reaching, standing and bending while supporting and assisting patients. They may also be required to lift, move and transport equipment. At times, they may need to be in awkward positions during therapy sessions.

Best-selling novel by David Mitchell speaks of the visit of the rock music scene in 1960 Utopia Avenue New Roman
In the new novel by David Mitchell, Utopia Avenue, a member of the psychedelic band in 1960 folk-rock falling the book its name from an interviewer, the category of his eclectic music is required, they are. "You're like a zoologist ask a platypus, 'You Otter? Or an otter like duck duck?'" Answers Jasper, the virtuoso guitarist of the group. "Like the platypus, I do not care. We make music that we like. We hope that other people like it too. That's all." It 'hard to read not as a wink Mitchell's reputation for gender fluidity, given the work that novel historical (the thousand autumns of Jacob de Zoet), which Bildungsroman (Black Swan Green), science fiction (see Bone) and a combination of the above (cloud Atlas, is best known for). I ask why the novelist an ongoing video call, the platypus has 51-year-old giggles. "All artists are. In fact, all human beings. Is triggered not only in art, is what kind of person you are. We all beat the speed of reductionism." And 'the price agreed for his interest in " hybridize typically "she says few, but seem to pay so much attention when Ian McEwan and Margaret Atwood does Mitchell qualified in their ranks; .. twice shortlisted for the Booker Prize, his work has become the Haruki Murakami, Thomas Pynchon and Anthony Castello ess comparison. But it is in a field of its own. Its eight novels are approachable but experimental. His sets can be lyrical, but his prose is propulsive. Between the layers of unconventional structures are clear references and stories. Mitchell obsessions beyond the meta-fictional universe created man to travel self-fulfillment; the process of figuring out who we are and how we connect, in the short time we have. Speaking of video chat from the cottage in the south-west of Ireland, where he lived for 15 years, Mitchell engaging and boyish about his past interests with passion. He jokes about his reputation as an introverted life in locked block, he says: "Yes, but what else is new?" – and shows me excited her reading material, a richly illustrated collection of Vincent van Gogh's letters. Read about the struggles of the painter has put his artistic life in perspective. "Some measure of success is actually the biggest enabler", he says. "So I am reading it makes me feel happy that I have a [readers]. In my experience, the pain and poverty and failure is not really very good for writing life." And yet this is the environment that inspired Mitchell pulling in Utopia Avenue characters. The novel is expansive, immersive to pursue one for the British and American music scene in 1967 and 1968, the band of the same sheet of detention in London shortage on the crest of worldwide fame. A linear narrative, especially in England put, it is a departure from, continents spread time-hopping works that he is best known. "It 's probably one of the most structurally simple things I've done," he says. The rise of the group is primarily from the point of view of three of the band members considered, each following their own self-discovery trips: Elf folk singer, bassist and guitarist Dean Jasper. Early in the book, without Dean escapes an abusive working-class education. Elf is stifled by the expectations of their middle-class family. Jasper, the estranged son of an aristocratic Dutch family, the comparison with the return of mental health problems, he thought he had left behind there long. The germ of the novel her love was the music of that period, says band Mitchell as Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention and the Grateful Dead, they avoided compliance and find "new ways to put together a song, that was not really done before." But was also in those years as fascinated fulcrum, reaches a time in 1960, "a kind of ideological critical mass where enough people thought that the company was rebootable" he says. "They could bring down the corrupt and repressive structures of the ancient world and replace it with something more just and more balanced." The music, he adds, was "medium." Above all, it is a book about music-a fly-on to make the wall look the realities of life from it, but also the process of writing and rehearsing songs. Mitchell has no background in music, but began to learn the guitar and the piano while writing the book to lend authenticity to scenes in which the characters try new arrangements and songs play together. He interviewed musicians and read about a dozen memories of survivors of that era, absorbing the details "such as collecting plankton," he says. It also has a YouTube went down the rabbit hole. The technology is "a great resource for novelists," he says. "If this was 2000, I would have no way do I find out what the voice of Syd Barrett. Now it's easy. You just need a laptop." This was particularly important as the novel fictional characters interact with a greatest hits historical figures such as his fame grows. Barrett, David Bowie, Brian Jones and many others wander in and out of the book, while the character shares a stage with Leonard Cohen and traveling with Jerry Garcia. Mitchell says that all these scenes the product of "careful study" of their language and speech. "It is necessary, therefore, do not start human characteristics to announce that they really have not," he says. "I do not want to play a crucial role in the plot, or co-opted in an alternate universe in which they are not dead or have had a great influence on anything." They are in the novel by the same token the music, because that's how it really was. But this book is also available as a chapter in what Mitchell calls his "strange, overflowing novel." Characters recurring and immortal connections from book to book, the player in a meta-narrative of a centuries-old struggle between the two groups. Here Regular readers will find at least a dozen links with his previous works locally, but the Jasper arc has a special meaning. (His surname, de Zoet can suggest how.) Mitchell says that while he enjoys fan maintenance, "Art in my books at the deepest level dipped," he does not care alienate new readers. The fantastic novel sequences can be read as the product of mental illness Jaspers he says. "It 'realism, if you've read my books, but if you do not have psychosis." He suggests that Jasper may play a future role in the meta-fiction, but next up is working on a collection of his short stories, he has been rewritten so that the structure of his novel 1999 ghostwriter similarly connected. "It will be more contemporary and will not be historic," he says. "I want to write ein, jetzt'Buch." He has also worked on a possible television program, and a movie, even though he is reluctant to reveal details. He has conducted some work previously credited to a ventilated restart the matrix, of the original directors of the Wachowski brothers and the 2012 adaptation of Cloud Atlas. These types of collaborations are "a lot of fun," says Mitchell, but also extremely important creative. "Normally I've seen working away for four years, no. I have no peers. Just try to work with anyone, but for four years. It does my head," he says. "Yes to one or two projects say that you take outside the orbit of your habits is a long distance road between the novels of seating styles and themes. Hopefully there is a way you can develop." This it appears in the 20 July 2020 issue of time.

Q: Remove ? from query string on form post I currently have a url like: http://testsite.local/search/?q=findme for my search page once someone makes a query. I use mod_rewrite to rewrite some of the pages and was wondering if it was possible to make this into a nice url like: http://testsite.local/search/1/findme/ (the number 1 being the page of the set of results).
Thanks

A: This should do the trick:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ search/?page=$1&q=$2 [L]

Here is a page that has a little info, Google knows much about this too.
You can swap $1 and $2 if you want to change the order.
edit: If you have something like this in your HTML:
<form id="search_form" method="get" action="search">
  <input type="text" name="q" />
  <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

With jQuery you can do something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#search_form").submit(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    window.location = "/search/1/" + escape($(this).find("input[name=q]").val())
  });
});

This will intercept the form submit and do the custom url, and if the user has no javascript, it will still work the old way.

A: Ok, none of these methods were what I was looking for, after a little research I just decided to redirect to the correct page when a page has a query string. So when a search was made, I just did this:
if ($_GET["posted"] == "true") {

    header("Location: /search/" . $_GET["q"] . "/1/");

}

I know the page has just been posted from a form as it has the hidden "posted" field.

A: Use parse_url() and parse_str().
<?php
$url = 'http://testsite.local/search/?q=findme';
$parsed = parse_url($url);
var_dump($parsed);

parse_str($parsed['query'], $params);
var_dump($params);

Output:
array
  'scheme' => string 'http' (length=4)
  'host' => string 'testsite.local' (length=14)
  'path' => string '/search/' (length=8)
  'query' => string 'q=findme' (length=8)
array
  'q' => string 'findme' (length=6)

A: Use .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /search/

#rewriting only if the request file doesn't exists (you don't want to rewrite request for images or other existing files)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)? index.php?path=$1 [L]

After that, you can use the REQUEST_URI in your root index.php file, and can parse the string in it:
var_dump($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

or you can use $_GET['path']:


Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Veasey, founder and co-chair of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus, introduced the Postage Free Ballot Act. This bill will be a part of H.R.1. It provides funding to the United States Postal Service to cover postage for mail-in ballots in federal and local elections. This will allow voters to mail in their ballots for free.
The U.S. Postal Service currently delivers all absentee ballots regardless of whether they have proper postage and then charges the local board of elections for the cost. This bill will lift the financial burden off local election boards that currently reimburse the Postal Service for postage used for absentee ballots.

LUCIFER – REVEAL COVER ARTWORK FOR THEIR NEW LONG PLAYER "LUCIFER IV"!
After LUCIFER's first taste of their new album "LUCIFER IV" last month with the single "Wild Hearses", the group now reveals the cover artwork and track listing of their new long player today.
Inspired by the expressiveness of classic albums of the 70's, the timeless provocative cover art of LUCIFER's new album perfectly captures the group's defiant stance and sonic presence.
Johanna Sadonis finds the following words about the creation of the album artwork:
"As a kid I was fascinated by Madonna's 'Like A Prayer'. A sexually liberated and very powerful business woman dancing in front of burning crosses. But that was considered self indulgent and blasphemous to many men, and unfortunately also some women. It was the ultimate provocation of "the whore". To me figures like her and so many other women that try to express themselves freely and the backlash that follows, are symbolized by the eternal witch that gets put up on the stake and must be burnt to death. As a female in this world and in the business I've had my own share of emotional and physical abuse. It has not made me bitter but very defiant. The artwork, as well as some of the lyrical content of this album is my personal "Fuck You" to the patriarchy, to the men and their codependent women that have or have tried to belittle, gaslight, emotionally assault and spread untruths about me – the ones that tried to keep me from making music. Did I have to sign a contract to keep me silent in the past? Yes I have. But, here I am, continuing to make one album after the next with my great peers in Lucifer. Try to put me on the stake and I'll laugh in your face. You can't hold down my spirit. You can also look at the cover this way; the woman gets the role assigned of the ever so maternal holy Mary or the whore but not Jesus? So I decided I'm gonna get up on that damn cross myself then. Time to move over. I drew a sketch and we had it built by our cross carpenter general. Unfortunately not by Jesus, the carpenter, himself. One of my favorite photographers, Ester Segarra, masterfully captured the real life scene after my mock idea, that consisted of a wooden Jesus on a crucifix set aglow from below to symbolise the burning fire of the stake. If you see this cover as a mockery of Christianity – great – whatever tickles you! But it is so much more than that. And that is just the cover. I cannot wait to let the music speak, come album release!"
The track listing reads as follows:
Archangel Of Death (03:35)
Wild Hearses (04:56)
Crucifix (I Burn For You) (03:51)
Bring Me His Head (04:25)
Mausoleum (04:51)
The Funeral Pyre (01:44)
Cold As A Tombstone (04:16)
Louise (03:56)
Nightmare (05:07)
Orion (04:47)
Phobos (04:20)

Govt. proposes law requiring convicted stalkers to wear electronic anklets for up to 10 yrs
Published : Aug 17, 2022 - 11:29 Updated : Aug 17, 2022 - 11:29
A Justice Ministry displays different models of electronic monitoring anklets that have been used since 2008 at the ministry's head office in Seoul on Oct. 20. (Yonhap)
The justice ministry has proposed a law requiring convicted stalkers to wear electronic monitoring devices for up to 10 years, officials said Wednesday.
The ministry unveiled the proposal in a pre-legislation notice.
Currently, high-risk convicted murderers, sex offenders, burglars and child kidnappers are subject to the use of devices such as ankle bracelets, which use GPS technology to monitor the location of the person.
The move comes amid a rising number of stalking-related crimes despite the anti-stalking law that came into effect last October.
Under the new law, stalkers can face up to three years in prison or 30 million won ($23,000) in fines for stalking or repeatedly harassing an individual by approaching, following or blocking against his or her will. The law also stipulates that police can enforce emergency measures or temporary measures to physically separate stalkers from victims.
A total of 2,369 stalking-related crimes occurred in March, sharply up from 277 cases in November 2021, police data showed. (Yonhap)
