This video shows a blind man exploring and preparing to skateboard in a skate park in Paris. The skatepark is set up next to the Eiffel Tower and many people have gathered in the stands. He then begins to skate on various ramps and pipes while using his white cane to guide him. The energy in this skate park says it all. Adaptive sports are just as much fun as any other sport. Sports are a great way for kids with disabilities to stay active, have fun, and challenge themselves in ways they might not have thought were possible.

📦 Are you gearing up for a big #move and dreading the #packing process? You're not alone. 🚚 Packing can be one of the most daunting aspects of moving, but it doesn't have to be stressful. 🔑 Unlock our top industry secrets to packing efficiently and securely, ensuring your belongings arrive safely and your move goes smoothly. Organizing your move is key to a smooth transition. Packing each room separately is a highly effective strategy to maintain order and reduce stress. Focus on one room at a time, methodically sort, pack, and label your belongings, streamlining the #unpacking process at your new #home. This approach ensures that nothing is forgotten or misplaced. By isolating the chaos room-by-room, you manage your move more efficiently and handle each item with care. Remember, organized packing is the first step towards an organized new beginning! Properly stacking items in a moving #truck is crucial for protecting your belongings during transit. Place heavier items at the bottom to create a stable base, and stack lighter items on top. This prevents heavier items from shifting and crushing lighter, more fragile items beneath them. It also optimizes the weight distribution across the truck bed, enhancing stability and safety while driving. By following this method, you ensure that everything arrives at your destination in perfect condition. Wrap each item generously in paper or bubble wrap. This extra padding absorbs shocks and vibrations during transit, safeguarding your belongings from scratches, dents, and breakage. Integrating this practice with the methodical packing of one room at a time and the strategic stacking of heavier items on the bottom of your moving truck creates a comprehensive plan that maximizes the safety of your items. Together, these practices ensure each cherished possession arrives in pristine condition at your new home. Sealing each #box completely is vital to ensuring the safety of your belongings during a move. Using high-quality packing tape, secure all seams and edges of the boxes to prevent them from opening or collapsing under weight. Properly sealed boxes protect the contents from dust and dirt and maintain the integrity of the box itself, making it easier to stack and #transport. Mastering the art of moving can transform a stressful experience into a smooth journey. At Next Generation Movers, we understand the nuances of #moving and are dedicated to making the process as effortless as possible for you. Our expert team is committed to handling your move with the utmost #professionalism and care.

That's bad, Kaidi Wu, Ph.D.! Though we can't say we're surprised, when it comes to big data/tech companies. But full disclosure/radical honesty - our Founder/Director had a period of a few months this year when she didn't get back to some speculative emails from job-seekers in our community. This was absolutely unforgivable. She prides herself on her customer service, as highlighted by our 5 ⭐ reviews. She is usually very prompt and empathetic in her approach. Our Founder/Director is also new to business/recruitment and is a disabled person. She also currently works for free, at a loss in the company. She lives with chronic conditions, and sometimes has 'flare-ups'. This time, it was a severe chest infection. Unfortunately, she was caught so off guard by her illness that she didn't have chance to think to set up an 'out of office' auto-response. We're sure some may have assumed she's just another disingenuous ghosting recruiter, during that time. As soon as she began to get back on top of her work/commitments, she responded to all emails that were missed. Most importantly, she made a point of apologising at the top of the email each time. There are no excuses for ghosting behaviour. But, sometimes, there are reasons/mitigating circumstances. Unlike other recruiters, our Founder/Director is a PhD seeking work (just like all of you) in the most difficult market conditions. She's also a human being, with challenges, who is just trying to do her best. Thankfully, most (if not all) responded very positively to her 'late' response. 🙏

Did someone say the C-word?   We're really not sure why the word claim causes so much tension in the construction industry.   When entering into a contract, the parties agree on a price for the delivery of obligations. If the goalpost then moves or a party does not do what they say they will, and this has a time or cost impact on the other party, then why should that party not be entitled to claim the additional time and/or cost?   Sometimes, our clients are reluctant to proactively manage and issue claims for additional time and money due to uncertainty of the claim process or fear it might impact their relationship with the employing party. However, failing to submit notices and submissions can result in losing out on what you are contractually entitled to.   If you're unsure what type of claim you should be issuing, we've detailed some brief descriptions of the most common claims in construction:   ✅ Relating to time: Extension of Time (claim for delay) – Delay claims can arise from stated events that are outside of the contracting parties control. Delays can impact a project's timelines, costs, and resources. Delay claims may arise for several reasons, including unexpected site conditions, changes in project scope, or issues related to permits and approvals.   ✅ Relating to cost: Variation – A variation claim is a formal request to adjust the original contract due to conditions or circumstances that were not foreseeable during the initial project planning phase.   ✅ Relating to cost: Prolongation – Prolongation costs compensate contractors for time-related costs which they have incurred due to critical delays to the work when the employer is at risk. When contractors claim prolongation costs, they must demonstrate they have incurred costs or losses because of employer-risk delay.   ✅ Relating to cost: Disruption – Disruption claims are compensation for less than expected productivity of labour or equipment. They are only focused on task-related costs resulting from the loss of productivity caused by the disruptive event.   ✅ Relating to cost: Acceleration – Acceleration claims are raised by contractors when they wish to claim additional time or cost. For example, a contractor might raise an acceleration claim if the employer expressly instructs the contractor to accelerate (or complete the project earlier than the agreed-upon completion date) or if the contractor feels pressure to accelerate.   Do you believe you're entitled to additional cost and time?   Then, allow Nexus Consult to manage your claim; our claim management services help employers and contractors get the compensation they deserve.    Learn more about what we do and how we can help you: https://lnkd.in/ehnsWqBn, or send our Director, Scott Coulton, a DM today.    #NexusConsult #DisputeManagement #Claims #Compensation

GERCHIK & CO – REVIEW OF THE WELL-KNOWN FOREX BROKERS Consumers lost a staggering $5.8 billion to fraud in 2021. The best way to protect yourself is to do your financial business on safe, regulated platforms – which requires doing some research before you sign up. In my search for a reputable forex broker, I discovered Gerchik & Co, and was curious to see how it stacks up to the competition. If you have chosen to embark on online trading, here is something for the road. In John Neff’s words, “it’s not always easy to do what’s not popular, but that’s where you make your money. Buy stocks that look bad to less careful investors and hang on until their real value is recognized.” With that in mind, let’s begin this Gerchik & Co review with a little background story. What is Gerchik & Co? Whether you prefer a volume-based trading technique or another approach, using a platform built by a former trader feels different. I found the experience spread across different sections as you prepare for business. That is what Gerchik & Co, Ltd. is all about. This online broker started in 2015 and won the award for the FX broker with the fastest growth rate right away. It went on to win several awards. With an expected CAGR of 6.5% for the global online trading industry, Gerchik and Co. is set to make a mark. The platform boasts over 100,000 users and 5,000 trades per month. Still, there’s more in store for traders who sign up. Regulation Gerchik & Co is not regulated, which should be a red flag for any potential customer. The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission has given it a license to work as a broker, but the organization is a pay-to-join organization rather than an overseeing regulatory body. Its financial providers include J.B. Finance LLP White Heaven SIA Gerchik & Co. Consulting OÜ Gerchik & Co has a Dealing in Securities license. Its physical office in the Govant Building, Kulum Highway, Port Vila, Vanuatu. Security Gerchik & Co purports to follow all privacy laws, treating user information as per the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I installed the mobile on my device and noticed that it ran in isolation in my device’s memory. That ensures that third-party applications cannot access it. Overall, user data security is at the iOS operating system level. Gerchik & Co’s Services This online broker has an overwhelming range of services to parse through, but we’ll discuss them all here. The risk management tool is an important part of Gerchik & Co’s platform because it gives consistent results. Furthermore, it is automated to give you a hands-free approach to loss protection. You can customize it to fit your strategy and trading approach. The confidence that risk management brings allows you to experiment with different trading styles to find the best one. Still, the online broker offers even more to traders. Read more: https://lnkd.in/etAxz3Vg #trading #charles #investors #brokers

"Le Dispair de Pierre" by Miguel J. Carballido (University of Basel) Category "Scientific: object of study" in our NCCR SPIN art and science contest Scientific objects of study are not always physical. Much of our work is conceptual, done in our heads, as we try to explain observations or write up research. The man in the picture is my colleague Pierre, he however is not the object of study. Pierre’s work focuses on hole quantum dots in Ge/Si nano wire structures. Nano wires can be thought of as minuscule whiskers that are so narrow, they only hold space for single sub-atomic particles, in this case electrons, to queue up inside, one by one. Now imagine kicking one electron out of the queue, leaving an “empty seat” for an electron. As one electron moves forward by one step to occupy the empty seat before it, a new free seat is left behind. So basically as electrons move forward hopping into the next nearest empty seat, the vacant seat they leave behind - we call it a hole - moves backwards at the same pace. Essentially in a space with N electrons, kicking one electron out to leave a hole, would require to explain the collective behaviour of N-1 electrons. To simplify the manifestation of N-1 electrons we can also just think of the system as one oppositely behaving hole with opposite energy, charge, momentum and so on, making our lives somewhat easier. While the models describing the band structure, magnetic and electric fields of holes within these tiny structures are simplifications of reality, they still are far from simple to understand. Already describing the space these so-called quasi particles are confined in, involves a thorough understanding of a complicated electrostatic environment. As one applies a voltage on one end of the nano wire to move one hole around, this same applied voltage will disturb a different already previously captured hole somewhere else, through an effect called cross capacitance. This picture, was taken late in the evening after a long day of number crunching. The object of study is not the roll of paper towels, but the black board with the aftermath of Pierre trying to make sense out of the complex control of holes and cross capacitances in his device. Sadly, these concepts are frequently unquestioningly recited within in numerous works, building on the wobbly foundations of mediocre explanations of previous works. Pierre has sworn himself to change this by making the topic more accessible to undergraduate and graduate students and himself. To this end he has put in countless hours in writing a (w)hole cleaned up chapter dedicated to explaining quantum dots in his thesis.
