Temporary Cradles

Safety Tips Workers Must Remember Before Working at a Height

A building cleaning cradle is an essential tool for working at a height. It provides a safe and efficient way to clean the exterior of tall buildings. Such a cradle is made of high-quality materials and is designed to withstand the elements. The cradle is designed to be suspended from the roof of the building, allowing workers to access every part of the building exterior. It is equipped with safety features such as harnesses and safety lines to ensure the safety of the workers. The cradle is also designed to be easy to operate, allowing workers to focus on their cleaning tasks. Here are a few safety tips that workers need to keep in mind before working at a height on temporary cradles.

Consider the platform material

When ordering a suspended personnel platform, it is important to consider the materials that will be used. The safety of workers is of utmost importance, and the right materials can ensure that the platform is secure and stable. The most commonly used materials for suspended personnel platforms are steel and aluminum.

Ensure that you have the right equipment for the job

This includes safety harnesses and non-slip shoes. Make sure that the suspended scaffold equipment is in good condition and has been inspected before use. Additionally, it is important to have a clear understanding of how to use the equipment properly.

Plan the work carefully

Working at a height can be dangerous and requires careful planning and execution. Before starting any work at a height, it is important to assess the risks and take necessary precautions to ensure safety. It is also important to have a clear plan for emergency situations, such as a worker falling or becoming injured.

It is crucial to have a comprehensive safety plan in place. This should include procedures for emergency response, communication, and regular safety checks. It is also important to have a designated safety officer who will be responsible for overseeing the safety of workers on the temporary suspended platform. It is important to take safety seriously and to always prioritize the well-being of workers in your site.

The Safety Measures for Using a Building Gondola

The construction gondola or the building gondola is a new kind of high-altitude work equipment that can easily replace conventional scaffolding, improve work efficiency and reduce labor intensity. It’s a movable platform that is driven by a motor and suspended along a building’s vertical surface by steel wire ropes, connected with a suspension mechanism placed at the top of the building.

The features of a gondola allow higher construction, strong construction adaptability, easy erection, high construction efficiency, and the need for less manual labor.

Gondola is an efficient and easy-to-use solution that is widely used for the installation of windows, and billboards, decoration of bridges, painting, and plastering jobs, external renovation, window cleaning, etc. It can also be reused for different purposes. Because of the large size and flexible dimensions that a gondola comes with, workers are more confident working on it.

Before working on such a platform, it’s important to remember a few things.

What should be done?

The fully loaded platform should be tested by raising it a few feet off the ground. Before each shift and before erecting, all equipment must be inspected. For each worker, appropriate fall arrest systems must be used. The toe boards and guard rails should be in place. The platform should be secured when not in use. The power source should be secured and properly grounded. The hand tools should be properly secured to the platform. The attachments and roof beams of the electrically-operated temporary suspended platform must be secured. Contact should be prevented between grinding or welding equipment and suspension ropes or wires. It should be made sure that all brakes, override switches, stops, and safety equipment work properly. The ropes should be secured at anchor ends. Signs of damaged or kinked ropes should be checked.

What shouldn’t be done?

• Unless each and everyone working on it is protected by a quality fall arrest system, the work platform shouldn’t be moved. • For lowering or raising the materials or tools, the fall arrest systems shouldn’t be used. • The components of the platform shouldn’t be removed, substituted, or altered. • Unless they are designed for this purpose, the platforms shouldn’t be joined. • The platform load capacity shouldn’t be exceeded ever.

The Toronto-area hospital that suspended a doctor after he received threats for his pro-Palestinian social media posts says it did so for his and the hospital's safety and that it is working on a plan for his return to work. About two weeks ago, Dr. Ben Thomson, a nephrologist at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital was suspended for one month after he and the hospital were threatened over his pro-Palestinian comments on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.   At the time, the hospital denied he was suspended because of his views but did not answer questions about the reason. Mackenzie Health said in a statement Thursday it was an "unprecedented, temporary measure … to allow us to fully assess and address the real safety and security threats."

TW:// GORE/DISTURBING CONTENT. (not tagging as mature so everyone can see.)

Character Introduction time! BEFORE READING!>>> (FOD is short for Flaws Of Dawn just incase anyone is confused! writing it out every time is tiring!) SOME THINGS ARENT SET IN STONE YET BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST TO KEEP THINGS ACCURATE AND FLUENT! (keep in mind I'll refer to some areas with placeholder names such as "hybrid area" "demon area" "mortal realm" etc. since not everything is quite figured out yet :D)

Aurora-! Aurora is essentially Protag #1 in the story, shes a human that lives among the people In the world FOD is set in. As of now she can use magic to summon temporary wings to get across large gaps but they don't last very long and are only used when ABSOLUTELY NECISSARY. She used to live down in the Mortal realm until she was brought over at some point, which she then moved to the outskirts or the "hybrid area" in the woods with a smaller tight knit community. When Aurora lived in the mortal realm she was held up in her small apartment most the time except for when she either had to go to school or work at her part-time gas station job. All of this changed later on when she'd met Mizuki and she'd essentially had a friendship with with them forced upon her due to a misunderstanding. Why did I even keep talking to her anyway? Later on Mizuki would be the one to bring Aurora over into the realm (FOD) is in. Somethings not right...somethings off..

Aswell as Aurora I'd like to talk a bit about Pina and their species as a whole!. Pina is Auroras pet dragon, They are part of the "Crystallium Dragons", a species which has no gender. These creatures asexually reproduce in the form of "eggs" , these Eggs are actually Mana crystals that absorb magic and energy from the "parent" to form their offspring over the span of around 5-12 months. A dragon that was carried and fed mana by their parent for 9-12 months would grow to be much much larger and stronger than a dragon that was carried only 5-8 since they rely on the mana for their growth as a entity. These Dragons can grow to be 60ft tall (not including wings) OR larger, but, it all depends on the circumstances of how a dragon is formed and the life it leads going forward. These creatures have existed for as long as the land itself has, they aren't dangerous unless provoked and tend to be quite gentle giants if you will :) They have many abilities by "default" such as portals, flying (DUHH), healing magic, ability to "bless" others, Shapeshifting (into more "humanoid" forms), etc. Since I mentioned it!, Yes, the dragons can shift into more humanoid forms, Intelligence/"human-ness" depends on the age, strength, and how often the dragon socializes in their humanoid form with others.

TECHNICAL YAP OVER! TIME TO GET TO PINA THEMSELF!

As stated before, Pina is Auroras pet of sorts. They were gifted to her by Mizuki at some point when they were freshly hatched. Pina is still considered a baby by the dragons time it takes to age so they are quite clingy and generally pretty dumb and silly. They act similar to a dog but also kind of like a bird?? its hard to explain, BUT before Aurora was able to use any magic whatsoever (and still currently when needed) Pina would help Aurora get across the suspended landscapes via gliding to different ledges/platforms, also making portals to random places for her. (Pina don't know how to use their magic properly yet WAAH)

Autumn-? (Protag #2)

Autumn Is a Hybrid fox girl that lives and works directly in the populated areas of the "hybrid area" which is a large cityscape where any species/mix may reside no matter what they are made up of. She works at a small coffee shop/diner to sustain herself in the city. She lived alone in her parents vacation home they rarely use until she'd met Aurora and gave her a place to stay with her. Autumn comes from a larger family having a sister and 2 older brothers and a newly born baby brother. This is common for Hybrids since there isn't many threats for the people to have kids where they stay. She rarely see's her family because shes been off trying to start her life independently in the city, hoping to see the rest of what the world has to offer and explore. She enjoys gardening and studies magic phenomena and language as a hobby.

?::-What is the relationship between the three?

Aurora , Autumn, and Pina all live together trying to get by. When Autumn first met Aurora and Pina she had to teach Aurora how to speak the common tongue around (FOD) since she was only able to speak her native language from the Mortal realm. Autumn generally thinks very fondly of Aurora but is a bit hesitant towards Pina due to a dragon related trauma within her early childhood, but she tries her best to look past that and interact with Pina as normally as she can!. Everything is going to be okay.

Later on in the story they become devout lovers <33 (Aurora and Autumn!) Mizuki- ♡ (Protag #3?) Mizuki Is a Purebred succubus who was raised in nobility with her parents and brother Shoda wasnt there a third one?. She lives quite far away from the Hybrid area, rather being where most "demon" based people reside, The community around her is quite strict with its rules and expectations for whom you speak to, build bonds with, etc. This causes her to have some deep rooted prejudices and dispositions about hybrids since she was taught and shown to be "pure". (Essentially she along with most other demons don't really like hybrids like Autumn since they are made up of alot of different species genetically, unlike demons who are mostly made up of either demon/elf/succubi genes primarily. Some have external species mixed in but it isn't usually in excess.) She commonly travels to the mortal realm to socialize with others around her age, while in the mortal realm she hides her markings/horns/tail/wings/etc. since mortals don't know of the existence of the (FOD) universe. Mizuki would meet Aurora while with a group of friends and later bring her to the (FOD) realm, gifting her the ability to use magic and re-writing Auroras genetics so she could survive the strain of traveling between realms. Aswell as hanging out in the mortal realm she commonly smokes with a group of friends. Mizuki gifted Pina to Aurora to show her affections for her and make everything feel more welcoming.

Why'd I do that?

(CONTEXT: Mortals CANNOT travel between realms without the aid of an insider, even if they knew the realm existed and could make a way to travel there the strain of the transition would tear their body apart and cause the person to die. This is why someone would need to give the person a part of themselves/their magic which would then allow them to survive the transition, though they will be quite weak in their realm until tolerance is built or they learn more about how to utilize their magic to adapt.)

Shoda- ♡ (semi-Protag #3.5) Shoda is Mizukis older brother, He is also a purebred succubus. Whilst Aurora stayed with Mizuki, Shoda had built a bond with Aurora, offering some solace and comfort after they would argue. Occasionally Shoda would take Aurora into their city to learn more about where she now resides, taking her to parties and to see shops around. Shoda spent most of his childhood ignored once his sister was born due to his disobedience and ignorance of the rules his parents had set for him. In his teenage years he would meet Jackie, whom would become his best friend and later on Dedicated partner to him.

(NOTE. Jackie's introduction is confusing on purpose. C'mon why would I spill everything immediately!)

Jackie-🥩♡♡♡♡♡♡!!!!!! Jackie Is a Shark/Panther/Succubus hybrid who resides in the countryside area south of where Shoda and Mizuki are (The nobilities city) Her hobbies include... [redacted] ...?, Hanging out with Him!, talking to Him!, Loving Him!, what else would I do? Jackie grew up an only child with her two parents. She made friends with a girl named Koma in Pre-school!, they would become best buddies and spend all their time together in and out of school, having many playdates and sleepovers!. After an accident Jackie never was able to see her again and left to explore the world on her own. That doesn't sound right, that's not how it went. Jackie would become independent at a young age after her parents kicked her out, she would have to [REDACTED] herself out for others to survive from a young age causing [REDACTED]. Later on once she had the funds to, she would pay to attend a public school away from where she had lived before, this is where she would meet Shoda and quickly become obsessed attached to him. She would spend most of her time from then on with him, besides when she would [REDACTED] in the mortal realm, which she kept a secret from him. You could say she has a preference for fresh meat.

That's all for now.

If you have any questions about anyone mentioned at all, the world, or even characters not mentioned at all (or mentioned briefly) then go ahead and ask away (PLEASE.)

Elon Musk, who has called himself a “free-speech absolutist,” declared that the words “cis” and “cisgender” are considered to be “slurs” on Twitter, and could cause users to be suspended from the social media platform.

“Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions,” Musk tweeted. “The words ‘cis’ or ‘cisgender’ are considered slurs on this platform.”

[little-klng]

My twitter was permanently suspended. Here's (probably) why.

oh hey!

so, my last tweets were on november 9th, where i said these things:

and thats. it. 100% of my twitter experience. other than this, its tweets from back in august when i was complaining that some nft bro hacked my account and performed a full takeover, which i fixed myself and reported the user involved (which went nowhere btw), and some tweets from when i made my account and tried to use it in 2019.

guess it was too much anyway! weird

to be honest? i personally cant find a single thing here that actually breaks any of the twitter rules. but just to be sure, lets check together, and you can be the judge of that:

The following is a complete list of Twitters 16 listed rules. Breaking any of the following rules can and likely will result in a temporary or permanent suspension, or even a ban. According to Elon Musk and Twitter, my account sometime around November 9th broke one of these 16 rules.

Important note: I have already sent in an appeal to Twitter, and assuming they still actually have "Support", they should have already seen it. The appeal has been in for a few days (i found out i was banned between the 29th and the 2nd) and remained completely ignored, as I havent had a reply even once. At this point, I'm posting this here to pose the question to you. Do you think that ive broken a single one of these rules? do you think that anything ive done is worth a permanent suspension? I dont actually care about getting my twitter back, since as you can clearly see i really dont use it. im posting this here because its 100% the clearest cut example of Elons Twitter banning someone for what can literally ONLY be a set, cut criteria that has otherwise only been speculated as suspendable, which is at the bottom of the post.

Violence

were any of these tweets violent? threatening violence? glorifying violence in any way?

Terrorism or Violent Extremism

did any of these tweets indicate a promotion of terrorism? were any of them indicative of extremist views? did i threaten any large groups of people based on their protected class while treating that class as a monolith?

Child Sexual Exploitation

did any of these tweets contain child sexual exploitation material?

Abuse/Harassment

were my tweets harassing or targeting anyone? were any of them wishing or hoping that someone experiences harm, violence, or death?

Hateful Conduct

did any of my tweets attack someone based on their protected class?

Perpetrator of Violent Attacks

did any of my tweets contain plans to commit an attack, or disseminate a violent manifesto?

Suicide or Self Harm

did i post anything, either towards myself or others, that seemed to glorify or encourage self harm or suicide?

Sensitive Media

did any of my tweets contain graphic violence or adult content?

Illegal or certain Regulated Goods or Services

were any of my tweets in reference to, containing, or attempting to advertise drugs or prostitution in or towards states or countries that regulate or criminalize that type of content?

Private Information

did i tweet out anyones private address, phone numbers, or other personal identifiable information without authorization? did my tweets incentivize others to do so?

Non Consensual Nudity

did i post adult content of someone without their permission?

Platform Manipulation and Spam

did i attempt to use twitter to advertise scams or phishing software? did i attempt to either amplify or silence information in a way that disrupted the twitter experience?

Civic Integrity

did i commit, or allege to, or spread misinformation about, election fraud?

Misleading and Deceptive Identity

does my twitter handle and twitter profile content reflect who i am? am i trying to impersonate anyone important in an attempt to mislead, confuse, or get a rise out of others?

Synthetic and Manipulated Media

do any of my tweets contain fake screenshots or altered photos in an attempt to cause reputational harm, such as in defamation?

Copyright and Trademark

do any of my tweets steal trademarked content or intellectual property?

...So, with that out of the way, heres the meat of my point. If you got this far and said no, i didnt actually break a single one of those rules, then it might interest you to know what i think i might have been banned for. I had "queer" in my bio, i had Elon Musk blocked, and i mentioned Elon Musk in a tweet. i also said in one tweet that i "wasnt a very big fan of twitters overall site layout as a new user". These are genuinely the only things in this entire account i can put close to something Elon would suspend me for. I want to highlight them, since again, there is genuinely not one single other thing to highlight here. Its the only options, until twitter support actually finds something suspendable in my account and tells me what it is directly via email. Until then, do with that what you will.

Free IG Likes: Understanding the Concept and Its Impact on Social Media Growth

In the fast-paced world of social media, gaining visibility and engagement is crucial for users looking to build their brands or influence. One of the most sought-after metrics of success on platforms like Instagram (IG) is the number of likes a post receives. The term "Free IG Likes" has emerged as a popular search query among users, especially those trying to boost their online presence without spending money. This article delves into the concept of Free IG Likes, its implications, and its effectiveness in growing an Instagram account.

The Appeal of Free IG Likes

The allure of Free IG Likes stems from the desire for social validation. On Instagram, likes are often viewed as a measure of popularity, credibility, and influence. When users see a post with a high number of likes, it can lead to a perception that the content is valuable or noteworthy. This social proof can encourage more users to engage with the post, potentially creating a snowball effect that leads to even more likes, comments, and followers.

Additionally, many users, especially those just starting, may not have the budget to invest in advertising or promotional strategies. Free IG Likes offer a cost-effective way to enhance their visibility and attract organic followers. However, while the concept sounds appealing, it is essential to consider the effectiveness and ethics behind it.

Methods to Obtain Free IG Likes

There are various ways users can seek Free IG Likes. Some of the most common methods include:

Like Exchange Platforms: Many users turn to websites or apps that allow them to exchange likes with others. In this system, users like other people's posts in exchange for likes on their own posts. While this method can temporarily boost engagement, it often leads to a cycle of non-genuine interactions, where users may not be genuinely interested in each other's content.

Hashtags and Trends: Utilizing popular hashtags can help posts reach a broader audience. Users often research trending hashtags relevant to their niche and incorporate them into their posts. When a post appears in the explore section due to its relevance, it may attract more likes from users who discover it through hashtags.

Engagement Groups: Some users join Instagram engagement groups, where members agree to like and comment on each other's posts. This method can generate quick likes but may lack authenticity, as the interactions are often done merely to fulfill group obligations.

Contests and Giveaways: Hosting contests or giveaways can encourage users to like posts in exchange for the chance to win a prize. This method can generate genuine engagement, but the likes gained may only be temporary.

The Risks of Seeking Free IG Likes

While Free IG Likes can provide a short-term boost in visibility, there are inherent risks involved. One of the most significant concerns is the potential for inauthentic engagement. When users resort to tactics like like exchanges or engagement groups, the likes they receive may not come from genuine followers or users interested in their content. This can lead to inflated numbers that do not accurately represent an account's true engagement rate.

Moreover, Instagram's algorithm prioritizes authentic engagement. If the platform detects patterns of inauthentic activity, such as excessive use of like exchanges or engagement groups, it may penalize accounts by reducing their visibility in users' feeds or even suspending them for violating community guidelines.

Another risk is the potential for scams. Some services promise Free IG Likes but require users to provide personal information or access to their accounts. These scams can lead to security breaches or compromise account integrity.

Building Authentic Engagement

While the temptation to seek Free IG Likes is strong, focusing on building authentic engagement is far more beneficial in the long run. Here are some strategies to consider:

High-Quality Content: Prioritize creating high-quality, visually appealing content that resonates with your target audience. Quality often trumps quantity, and users are more likely to engage with posts that are well-crafted and meaningful.

Engagement: Take the time to interact with followers and other users. Respond to comments, engage with their content, and foster genuine relationships. Authentic engagement can lead to organic growth and a loyal following.

Consistency: Posting regularly helps keep your audience engaged and aware of your content. Develop a posting schedule that works for you and stick to it.

Utilize Stories and Reels: Instagram Stories and Reels have gained significant traction. By incorporating these features into your strategy, you can reach a wider audience and encourage more engagement.

Analyze Your Insights: Regularly review your Instagram insights to understand what types of content resonate best with your audience. This data can help guide your future posts and strategies.

Conclusion

In the quest for social media success, the concept of Free IG Likes may seem like an enticing shortcut. However, it's essential to weigh the pros and cons and consider the long-term impact on engagement and authenticity. While there are methods to gain free likes, focusing on genuine connections, quality content, and authentic engagement will ultimately lead to more sustainable growth on Instagram. In a landscape where authenticity is increasingly valued, building a real and engaged community will always be more rewarding than simply chasing likes.

How to Protect Your Music from Removal by Deliver My Tune After a Missed Payment

As an independent artist, you know the importance of keeping your music available on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. With all the effort you put into creating and promoting your songs, the last thing you want is for your music to be taken down. However, a simple mistake, such as missing a payment or choosing not to renew your distribution plan, can result in exactly that. What happens if you miss a payment or choose not to renew your distribution plan with Deliver My Tune? The repercussions can range from temporary disruption to the complete removal of your tracks from all major streaming platforms. To avoid these stressful and career-impacting situations, it’s essential to understand how Deliver My Tune manages missed payments and expired plans, and how you can proactively protect your music.

1. Deliver My Tune’s Distribution and Payment Process

To better understand the potential risks associated with missed payments or non-renewal, it’s crucial to first examine how Deliver My Tune handles the distribution of your music. Deliver My Tune provides a comprehensive service that ensures your tracks are available on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and others. This service comes with a regular payment plan, typically structured as a subscription that requires timely payments for continuous distribution.

When you sign up for a plan with Deliver My Tune, your music is sent to streaming services, where listeners can access your work globally. Your payment to Deliver My Tune covers not only the initial distribution but also the ongoing availability of your music on these platforms. This means that if a payment is missed or if your subscription expires, it could directly impact whether or not your music remains accessible.

2. What Happens When You Miss a Payment?

So, what happens if you miss a payment or choose not to renew your distribution plan with Deliver My Tune? The immediate consequence is often an interruption in service. Missing a payment typically triggers an internal review process where Deliver My Tune will notify you of the missed payment and provide a brief grace period to settle the amount. This grace period is critical because it gives you the opportunity to make the payment before your music is removed from streaming services.

If the payment isn’t settled within the grace period, the distribution of your music may be temporarily suspended. This means that your songs might still be available for a short time, but the clock is ticking. Depending on the specific terms of your plan, your music could be taken down from platforms within days or weeks after a missed payment. Once taken down, the process of getting your tracks back online can be cumbersome, potentially resulting in lost streams and revenue during the downtime.

3. Consequences of Non-Renewal: What to Expect

Deciding not to renew your plan with Deliver My Tune carries its own set of consequences. If you don’t renew your distribution plan, Deliver My Tune will eventually remove your music from all streaming platforms. This isn’t an immediate action—it usually happens after a series of notifications and a final grace period. However, once your plan expires and is not renewed, your music will be systematically pulled from platforms.

The process of removing music from streaming services can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the platform. Once removed, listeners who previously streamed your music will no longer be able to find it, and your artist profile may be affected, depending on how long the tracks are unavailable. If you rely on your music for revenue through streaming or for maintaining a connection with your fans, this can be a significant setback.

4. How to Reactivate Your Account and Recover Your Music

If your plan lapses and your music is removed due to a missed payment or failure to renew, is all hope lost? Fortunately, no. Deliver My Tune provides a way for artists to reactivate their accounts and restore their music to streaming platforms, although the process can vary depending on the length of the lapse and the specific terms of your agreement.

To reactivate your account, you will first need to pay any outstanding fees. Once your account is in good standing, Deliver My Tune can begin the process of redistributing your tracks to streaming services. However, it’s important to note that this redistribution process may take some time—anywhere from several days to a few weeks—meaning there’s a window where your music is still unavailable to fans and listeners. During this downtime, you could lose valuable exposure, streams, and revenue, so it’s in your best interest to avoid letting your account fall into this situation.

5. How to Avoid Missed Payments and Non-Renewal Issues

Prevention is the best way to protect your music from removal due to missed payments or non-renewal. Here are a few tips to help ensure that you stay on top of your distribution plan:

Set Up Automatic Payments: Most services, including Deliver My Tune, offer automatic payments for subscriptions. By enabling this feature, you reduce the risk of missing a payment due to oversight or a busy schedule.

Track Your Subscription Periods: Keep a calendar or reminder system in place to notify you when your subscription is nearing its renewal date. This will give you time to review your plan and ensure everything is in order.

Maintain Open Communication with Deliver My Tune: If you’re facing financial difficulties or there’s a reason you might not be able to make an upcoming payment, communicate with Deliver My Tune. They may offer options such as payment plans or temporary holds to help keep your music live.

Review Your Financials Regularly: It’s easy to forget about recurring payments when managing multiple services, so make it a habit to regularly review your financial statements and ensure that your payments to Deliver My Tune are being processed.

Conclusion: What happens if you miss a payment or choose not to renew your distribution plan with Deliver My Tune? The impact can range from temporary service interruptions to the complete removal of your music from major streaming platforms. Missing a payment puts your music at risk of being taken down, which not only affects your streams and income but also your fanbase’s ability to access your content. While reactivation is possible, it’s a time-consuming process that can lead to lost momentum and engagement with your audience. The best approach is to proactively manage your payments, consider automatic renewals, and communicate openly with Deliver My Tune to avoid these issues altogether.

EU not going to block Telegram completely

The EU has a procedure for the temporary suspension of Telegram, but no one is going to block the work of the platform, European Commission (EC) spokesman Thomas Renier said on Monday.

The EU spokesman reminded that blocking Telegram is allowed by The Digital Services Act (DSA) of the EU, which came into force in February 2024, but to apply such serious measures it is necessary to prove that there is indeed an “encroachment on public security.” He emphasised:

We can’t say “we don’t like your content and that’s why we decided to block you.” We have to prove that there is a serious breach of public security in the European Union. But that is very unlikely. We are not considering blocking Telegram.

At the same time, according to Renier, the EC is conducting its own count of Telegram users in the EU, and if their number exceeds 45 million people, the service will fall under the definition of “very large online platform” and will go under the direct supervision of the European Commission.

In this case, the EC will be able to temporarily suspend its activities throughout the EU, but before such a measure is applied, the platform may be fined up to 6% of the company’s global annual turnover.

The suspension of the platform’s operations across the EU will be precisely temporary because, if it is back in compliance with the DSA, there is no reason for us to prevent it from operating. The law is not intended to block online platforms, be it Meta and X, Renier said.

The DSA mandates that major online platforms provide users with a tool to easily report illegal content. Upon receiving such a report, they must quickly remove or block it. In addition, the platform is required to cooperate with individuals or organisations in the EU who will “based on their experience and skills” signal illegal content to be moderated.

Pavel Durov, billionaire, co-founder and CEO of messenger Telegram, faced arrest at Bourget airport near Paris on August 25. Earlier, Durov said French authorities should have referred complaints to his company rather than detaining him.

On 6 September, Durov wrote his first public comments in Telegram since his detention last month. He also denied any suggestion that the app was an “anarchic paradise,” calling his arrest “misguided.”

Experts assume that European intelligence services want to gain control over one of the largest social networks solely to censor the information posted there, i.e. to openly restrict freedom of speech. And they may achieve their goal at any cost, or rather by exerting maximum pressure on the founder of this network.

Types of Scaffolding Equipment

Which is scaffolding? Scaffolds let workers reach high-up regions. Construction workers that need to reach higher elevations without cranes or forklifts use them. Painting, window washing, and other maintenance can be done on scaffolding. Why Should You Know Scaffolding? Scaffolding is essential whether you're building a 10-story luxury hotel or fixing your roof or structure. This manner, you may cover all bases and prevent injuries while working on your property's concrete or brick exterior walls or interior ceilings and flooring. 1. Permanent Scaffolding:- Permanent scaffolds are used for building, maintenance, and inspection. Safe and functional, they can also be attractive. 2. Applications for fixed scaffolding include: Construction scaffolds. These temporary constructions allow height access fast and easily. They are utilized for new buildings, refurbishments, and infrastructure projects like bridges and tunnels. 3. Scaffolds for maintenance. Building owners utilize maintenance scaffolds to maintain their buildings. They can be utilized by window cleaners and other professionals who need heights while working on buildings. 4. Inspection scaffolds. Engineers and inspectors can check structures without ladders or ropes using inspection scaffolds. Inspection scaffolds vary depending on its usage, but all have walkways so workers may move around safely without climbing steps or using ropes. 5. Mobile scaffolding

Mobile scaffolding is versatile for building jobs. Mobile scaffolds are composed of aluminum or steel and vary in size and shape. These constructions let workers climb without a fixed structure. Mobile scaffolds can be mounted to new builds or wheeled. They offer various advantages over other scaffolds, including:

Advantages of Mobile Scaffolds

Portable scaffolding makes it easier for personnel to move and set up on the job. Their quick set-up and take-down make them excellent for short-term assignments when you don't want to invest in permanent equipment you'll only use infrequently. Mobile scaffolds can be adjusted in numerous ways to meet project needs, making them more versatile than fixed or built-in scaffolding. Safety - Mobile scaffolds tend to be safer than typical scissor or ladder racks since they have fewer elements that could come apart or break off during usage. 7. Suspended Scaffold

Suspended scaffolding has two parallel rails anchored to the ground with horizontal planks between them. Many countries utilize it for scaffolding, especially for construction workers and other tradespeople who access building exteriors. 8. Suspended scaffolding can be utilized for both temporary and permanent installations. It can be utilized for modest operations like painting or building maintenance or larger ones like home or business construction or restoration. More complex constructions may require scaffolding with walkways or platforms at different heights. In addition to offering secure access to building exteriors, hanging scaffoldings allow window cleaners to clean windows without climbing inside them. 9. Swing stage scaffolding

Due to its adaptability and safety, industrial and commercial construction sites use swing stage scaffolding. Also called swing scaffolds, swing stages, and A-frames. Two upright posts connected by a beam or top rail support swing stage scaffolding. The stage can be folded against the support posts when not in use. When needed, the stage can be erected up quickly. 10. Swing stages are useful for temporary vertical access in numerous circumstances. They can help you attain height on construction sites or in your home or garden shed during repairs or upkeep. They could also be utilized during concerts or festivals when site access is restricted for safety. 11. Hanger Scaffolding

Hanging bracket scaffolding supports workers at heights. An alternative to suspended scaffolds is hanging bracket scaffolding. Hanging bracket scaffolding is mostly utilized to offer temporary construction working platforms. Building and other height-dependent businesses may employ this scaffolding. The ease of installation and removal from construction sites makes hanging bracket scaffold systems more popular than other movable scaffolds. The primary hanging bracket scaffolding parts are:

Each upright has C-clamps at the bottom. These clamps keep the upright from falling off the base or platform. Some manufacturers provide lightweight, robust plastic ones for all-day use. Uprights – C-clamped uprights are placed on top of the base or platform to prevent them from falling over when someone stands on them or utilizes them for stair assistance. Screwed-together uprights are common. 12. Solo Scaffolding

Single scaffolding is used for modest construction jobs. Residential and commercial structures can use it. Steel pipes are bolted or nutted together to make this scaffolding. Workers walk safely on wooden planks over steel tubes. The most frequent single scaffolding is straight leg. This scaffolding has no cross bracing between the legs, making it easier to remove. Small jobs with one support level employ single scaffoldings. They are suited for residential and commercial building jobs with limited scaffolding space. 13.Doppelscaffolding

Double scaffolding is a sort of scaffolding that is made up of two frames that are coupled together with the help of braces. Double scaffolding supports personnel, tools, and materials. This scaffolding is usually utilized in industry, however it can be used indoors and outdoors. Types of Double Scaffold

Today's double scaffolds come in many styles. Among them:

Single-sided double scaffold — Two frames on either side of a wall or other impediment link at their upper corners. This structure can only be used internally because the frames' bottom edges are blocked. Double-sided double scaffolds have frames on either side of a wall or other impediment with braces connecting their top corners. Because the frames are braced at the bottom and top, this scaffold can be utilized indoors and outdoors. Demolition scaffolding

Temporary scaffolding supports a structure during demolition. Deconstruction scaffolding can be built numerous ways. New or demolished materials can be used to build it. Demolition scaffolding is sometimes called wrecking scaffolding or demolition platform. Workers removing a building are protected from falling debris and dangerous structures by demolition scaffolding. It also shields nearby buildings from demolition harm. Demolition scaffolds use I-beams, channel sections, and angle iron. The platform might be built on the existing structure or another platform designed for this purpose. Steel joists and columns with adjustable feet are used to build demolition platforms so they can be positioned correctly and attached with bolts and nuts. How high the building needs to be disassembled and how much clearance is needed will determine the platform height. 14. Steel Scaffolding

Steel scaffolding is industrial scaffolding made from steel tubes and fittings. Construction and remodeling projects employ steel scaffolding for temporary work platforms. Single-sided and double-sided steel scaffolding are most popular. Short-term projects employ single-sided units, while permanent applications use double-sided units. Steel scaffolding comes in many lengths, heights, and widths for almost any use. The modular design lets you add or remove posts and cross members to tailor your unit. Steel is good for many uses due to its versatility:

Steel scaffold is utilized in construction because it can be erected quickly and easily without additional equipment. Because it only needs the tools and equipment found in scissor lifts and boom lifts, it's straightforward to move between sites. Maintenance — Maintenance workers have long utilized steel scaffold to securely and efficiently access rooftops and other hard-to-reach areas. 14. Trestle scaffolding

Trestle scaffolding supports the structure using legs. Each leg has holes on top and is bolted or welded. These holes connect the legs to form the trestle scaffold structure. Trestle scaffold frames are mainly steel or aluminum, but some are wooden. Metal trestles survive longer than wood and are more durable. Easy set-up and take-down are trestles' primary benefits. This makes them excellent for temporary jobs that require storage. If you need to move them regularly between sites or positions on site, they can be simply carried. 15. Patented Scaffold

The new revolutionary scaffolding system employs ordinary scaffolding material but adds security. This unique scaffolding system uses conventional tools to produce a safe workplace. Workers can erect and disassemble the revolutionary scaffolding system in minutes, not hours or days. Eliminating plywood and steel saves money. Scaffolding Patents Benefit

The scaffolding system is patented to make height-working safer. The device allows people to work legally while providing mobility and comfort. This reduces scaffolding falls, which can injure or kill workers. Besides safety, the unique scaffolding system simplifies your job! You can work instead of setting up your workspace. 16. Quickstage Scaffolding

Kwikstage scaffolding may be constructed in under 10 minutes for temporary access. Its lightweight, compact design makes it easy to travel and store and can be set up by one person. The Kwikstage scaffold comes in 6m–32m lengths and 1.5m–4.8m widths. Twist locking pins connect modular aluminium components in the Kwikstage scaffold for fast construction without tools or bolts. Tradespeople and DIYers can utilize the system because it comes with ladders, guard rails, and walkways for height safety. 17. Marine Scaffolding

Marine scaffolding is the most preferred for creating huge water-side constructions. Marine scaffolding is made for tough marine conditions. Marine scaffolding supports workers on water-side construction sites. This protects against falling objects and debris from above and slick surfaces from rain or waves. Bridge, pier, and dock building can use marine scaffoldings. 18. Home Extension Scaffolding

Extensions and renovations can increase house value but are dangerous. Check the insurance and license of any professional builder or contractor you engage. Your project may require planning authorization from your local government. If you're performing your own extension or renovation, prepare ahead and work safely. Ensuring your scaffolding satisfies health and safety requirements is crucial. This requires correct materials, design, access platforms, and guard rails. Building an addition or making structural alterations to your home requires safe work. This implies you must utilize scaffolding intended for safety. We make sturdy scaffolds that are lightweight enough for one person to carry. They are easier to transport and set up than two-person scaffolding. We employ scaffold equipment that meet all safety regulations after comprehensive testing by independent labs. 18. Aviary Scaffolding

Construction and mining employ birdcage scaffolding. It has steel wire ropes connecting horizontal and vertical poles. Birdcage scaffolding is often called chicken-wire scaffolding. Due to its ease of assembly and disassembly, birdcage scaffolding is mostly utilized for building maintenance and repair. It can be utilized on narrow surfaces where other scaffolding is difficult to setup.

Third Level Society: First Version

Story Eight: Jeo Brock

I've been thinking back to when I first met Carol during my first year at Cabotton. Believe it or not, I actually knew who Carol Owen was before I met Rachele. In fact, Carol is one year older than me while Rachele is one year younger.

During her freshman year, so the year before I arrived, Carol tried to challenge Sarah Marks in the same fashion that she is doing with Rachele now. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but when I met her in person, she started sharing with me her grandiose vision of the Third Level Society. Apparently, she had it in her head that the succession of Dungeonmasters, Administrators, and Prefects had it in their heads to preach "balance of dynamics" all in the name of some ulterior motive or another. Carol had been fantasizing that she was going to arrive and bring about a "reform" in order expel those who were "not being genuine" out of the Society.

She had initially been friends with Sarah Marks, acting as her supporter against Peter Crane and Kara Martins. She had proposed her agenda to Sarah Marks to have an undercover force of Prefects weed out and ban those who "had the potential" to be like Peter and Kara. At one point, she approached Sarah, Dyla, and Richard, who were serving as three temporary co-Dungeonmasters at the time, to try and create an administrative role for which Carol could carry out her agenda.

First time she did it, they did not respond; nor did they respond when she approached them a second time. After that second time, Carol told a friend of hers, who Carol would not name to me, that Sarah was turning against her. The friend said that perhaps Sarah was busy but Carol refused to believe that when she was telling me the story. Carol then approached Sarah while she was in the Dungeonmaster's Office and asked her to convince Dyla and Richard on her agenda. It was then and there that Sarah told Carol that she had been extremely busy, and also that Carol's idea was an overreach, both logistically and ethically.

It was at this point that Carol began turning against Sarah.

While Sarah, that year, was running for the Dungeonmaster position, Carol established her own Dungeonmaster campaign platform. Carol had told me that at that point, she had near-unanimous support from the Society Membership altogether. But according to others, she actually had only roughly four or five supporters. Obviously, Sarah Marks won the Dungeonmaster position, while most of the Society did not even know who Carol was.

Nevertheless, Carol cried foul on the whole ordeal and began spreading a rumor that the whole system was rigged. Right after Sarah officially began her Dungeonmaster tenure, Carol convinced about fifteen other Members to join her in a petition to try and oust Sarah. This was brought to the Bookkeeper and was promptly ignored. Carol and her followers then took the petition to University Affairs, who rejected the motion. In response, Carol and her followers protested the University by staging a sit-in. University Affairs threatened to call the Campus Watch on them. They stood down and left, but Carol continued to cry foul on "the system."

Sarah Marks caught wind of this and suspended Carol's Society Membership, calling for her permanent ban. The Bookkeeper rejected that motion and allowed Carol to remain in the Society. Nevertheless, Sarah Marks wrote a letter of referral for Carol to see a psychologist, while Carol, herself, kept a relatively low profile in the time since...that is, until now.

Late last year, before Rachele took over the Dungeonmaster role, Carol apparently came up to her and told her what had happened three years ago. Rachele felt that perhaps Carol was judged too harshly, and so promised to appoint her as an Administrator over the Prestia Sector, a promise Rachele followed through on last month. As a Sector Administrator, Carol established her network of secret Prefects and ran a system that technically did not violate the Statute of Principle but did lead to some complaints. Rachele admonished her over the whole ordeal, but they agreed to keep the Prefect system in place and have Carol continue to be the Administrator, so long as the Prefect network did not cross over lines into other Sectors.

So then came the Lykian attacks two weeks ago. This, of course, prompted Rachele to travel to Caylor in Southeastern Ereautea, one of the communities affected by fallout from the attacks on Hasphitat and a place with which Rachele had some sort of connection. By this point, relations between herself and Carol had improved, and Rachele was apparently inspired by Carol's ability to lead in her role as the Prestia Sector Administrator; so she had Carol take her spot temporarily as Dungeonmaster while she went to Caylor. Apparently, during that time, Carol had grown quite confident in her Dungeonmaster role. And when the time came that Rachele sent her a ticker message that she was returning soon, Carol was a bit disappointed that she had to step down.

Right before then, however, Carol caught wind from a group of her undercover Prefects of the hidden portal I created between Evernorth and Cray Fenton's dymensional plane. However, instead of actually investigating this and leading up to me, Carol convinced herself and her followers that Rachele had lied about banning my card idea, and that Rachele, herself, was carrying out some sort of conspiracy.

Rachele was supposed to be back by today, but according to Valian, Carol still has herself locked in the Dungeonmaster's Office. Apparently, the Bookkeeper has not taken Carol seriously and has not taken action against Rachele. But Rachele is nowhere to be found.

Quite frankly, I have no idea what is going on. And I am beginning to take Richard's idea a little more seriously. I hate to leave Cabotton at this point, but perhaps it is for the best.

Musk's X banned in Brazil after disinformation row

X, formerly Twitter, has been banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country. Alexandre de Moraes ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of the social media platform until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines. The row began in April, with the judge ordering the suspension of dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation. Reacting to the decision, X owner Elon Musk said: "Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo-judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes." The social media network is said to be used by at least a 10th of the nation's 200 million inhabitants. By Saturday morning some users had reported access to the platform was no longer possible. It closed its office in Brazil earlier this month, saying its representative had been threatened with arrest if she did not comply with orders it described as "censorship" - as well as illegal under Brazilian law. Justice Moraes had ordered that X accounts accused of spreading disinformation - many supporters of the former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro - must be blocked while they are under investigation. He said the company's legal representatives would be held liable if any accounts were reactivated. X has been threatened with fines for refusing to comply with this order, with the company and Mr Musk joining critics in Brazil in accusing the judge as being left-wing. It is the latest in a series of rows involving the tech billionaire - who has clashed with the EU over the regulation of X and earlier this month became embroiled in a war of words with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The head of Brazil's telecommunications agency, which has been tasked with suspending the platform, said he is "proceeding with the compliance" to do so, according to Reuters news agency. Justice Moraes has given companies such as Apple and Google a five-day deadline to remove X from its application stores and block its use on iOS and Android systems. He added that people or businesses using means such as VPNs (virtual private network) to access the platform could be fined R$50,000 (£6,700). According to the judge's order, a ban will be in effect until X names a new legal representative in the country and pays fines for violating Brazilian law. In a previous post from one of its official accounts, X had said it would not comply with the demands. "Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil – simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents," the post said. "The fundamental issue at stake here is that Judge de Moraes demands we break Brazil’s own laws. We simply won’t do that." Meanwhile, the bank accounts of Mr Musk's satellite internet firm Starlink have been frozen in Brazil following an earlier order by the country's Supreme Court. Starlink responded with a post on X which said the "order is based on an unfounded determination that Starlink should be responsible for the fines levied - unconstitutionally - against X." Justice Moraes gained prominence after his decisions to restrict social media platforms in the country. He is also investigating Mr Bolsonaro and his supporters for their roles in an alleged attempted coup on 8 January last year. X is not the first social media company to come under pressure from authorities in Brazil. Last year, Telegram was temporarily banned over its failure to cooperate with requests to block certain profiles. Meta's messaging service Whatsapp also faced temporary bans in 2015 and 2016 for refusing to comply with police requests for user data. Read the full article
