There are lots of homes for poor people. There are dingy basement suites in old houses. There are mouldy cottages that should have been torn down decades ago. There are skid road hotels owned by slum landlords. There are houses barely fit for human habitation.
And, thank God, there is Habitat for Humanity.
This stellar organization provides an opportunity for the poor to purchase their own homes. The premise is simple. Habitat finds a lot, then volunteers and the future homeowners come together and the house is erected.
And like many simple things, that's never easy.
There's money to raise, future neighbours to convince that the poor won't be a detriment to the neighbourhood and ultimately the hard choice of who to give this wonderful opportunity to out of the many folks needing a decent home. (The new homeowners purchase the home through "sweat equity" and an interest-free mortgage based on their earnings.)
Fortunately for some struggling renters on the Sunshine Coast, Habitat for Humanity is here. The group is already busy building their first home in Gibsons. The house will soon be at the lock-up stage, and a very happy family will be able to have their own brand-new home - a thrill for anyone, regardless of his or her economic circumstances.
Soon, Habitat hopes to be able to offer two families the chance to have a great place to live. And although there are some would-be neighbours who can't seem to grasp the idea that poor people could actually care enough about their home to maintain it, for the most part, we're sure the people of Sechelt support this worthwhile project.
They must, if last weekend's giant fundraiser is any indication. Spearheaded by many real estate folks, the evening was a huge success. The generosity of the local businesses and restaurants were an inspiration to John McKenzie, one of the main organizers of the event. Our community is lucky to have so many people who care. From the founding chair of Habitat on the Sunshine Coast, all-round nice guy Ed Hawkins, to the present chair Kenan MacKenzie, Habitat Humanity is more than just a way to bring a family home. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tuesday The Trump Administration’s U.S. Ambassador, Nikki Haley, announced that the United States is withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council. This was declared, by accusing the body of bias against US ally Israel and a failure to hold human rights abusers accountable.
Haley was a major critique of the council, stating that it had grown colder over the past year and become a “protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias.”
The decision to leave the 47-nation body based in Geneva was expected as they warned but, this has been the latest move by the Trump administration to withdraw from international groups such as climate change, trade, and NATO.
Haley argued that the United States Human Rights Council had failed to hold a single session on Venezuela, which is a council member, or Iran, even with the crushing of opposition demonstrations.
In the video below Haley stated, “When a so-called human rights council cannot bring itself to address the massive abuses in Venezuela and Iran, and it welcomes the Democratic Republic of Congo as a new member, the council ceases to be worthy of its name.”
Vice President, Mike Pence stood by her announcement and tweeted his support in a statement. “
Today the U.S. took a stand against some of the world’s worst human rights violators by withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/KyICyXh3XI
— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) June 19, 2018
Elliot L. Engel, the top Democrat on the House committee that oversees the State Department. stated to The Washington Post “However, this administration’s approach when it sees a problem is to take the United States off the field,”
This news came a day after the U.N. human rights chief slammed the administration’s policy of separating migrant parents from their children after they enter the United States at the Mexican border, unconscionable.

A professional beekeeper in Texas captured the awe and fascination of people across the internet when she posted a brief, narrated video that illustrated a typical day in the life.
And although each of her posts has netted views in the low millions, her latest video really exploded. So far, 64.5 million people have watched the clip, which showed Thompson "rehoming" a hive (carefully moving it from one location to another).
The video began with Thompson providing some backstory with some impressively soothing narration.
"Bees have been living in this backyard shed for at least two years. The landlord wanted to call an exterminator. But the family who lived here wanted to save the bees, so they called me."
Then Thompson got to work.
"When I lifted up the floor I found a huge hive full of gentle bees. The hive was so big I had to remove another section of floor to access the entire thing."
"Then I started removing the hive. Whatever I removed from the original hive went right into the new one so the bees would have everything they need to survive."
At that point, the clip showed Thompson safely transporting large clusters of bees into a carefully arranged box--the new hive.
The work continued after that.
"After I removed all of the comb, I started scooping bees into the new hive. As soon as I put the bees by the new hive, they marched right in."For many TikTok viewers, this barehanded grabbing was the real kicker.
Fortunately, one TikTok user was happy to enlighten the anxious crowd.
Clearly well aware of her own safety, Thompson continued on undisturbed, even concluding with a display of some expertise.
"Then a stream of bees began running out from under the floor into the new hive. So I waited and watched to see if I could spot the queen bee in the crowd."
"After about 15 minutes, she appeared! So I put her in a clip to keep her safe."
"Once the queen was in the new hive, some bees began sending signals to help the other bees find their way home. I left the hive in the shed overnight and by the next day the entire colony was in their new home and it was another great day of saving the bees."
Other TikTok viewers had all sorts of commentary to offer.
So next time you find yourself dealing with a bee infestation, maybe think twice about eliminating them the easy way.
Perhaps there are people like Thompson in your neck of the woods. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Many Christian schools have used the term that “Christ is the Core” using an apple as a symbol. At Concordia, Christ is the WHOLE APPLE! From the moment that you are greeted at the door with a smile and love until the last bell of the day, you know that Jesus Christ loves you and so do we. We believe that being a Christian school is more than just having religion classes. It’s how you treat your classmates with love and respect all day long.
There are so many extracurricular activities at Concordia for 4th-8th grade. Volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross country, tennis, golf, track and field and fencing provide numerous opportunities for your student to be active and involved.
Every family that sends their child to our school knows that their child will be loved. We know our parents and include them in the educational process of their children. We know the activities that our students are involved in and we are their cheerleaders.
In a day and age where schools are dropping many of the fine arts, we have made it a priority. Concordia offers music, band, choir, art and Spanish. We are a 1:1 technology school as every student in grades 3-8 have their own Chromebook. God has created each one of us in a unique way. We want to bring out the best in each child.
Every year we are told that “Concordia students are so well prepared for high school.” Every year you will find alumni from Concordia representing their class in high school as the valedictorian or salutatorian. Concordia’s students will be equipped for any high school they attend.
To Boldly Provide a Christ-Centered Education Today, to Impact Tomorrow's World.
Concordia Lutheran Church’s congregation has created this historic and dynamic educational opportunity for two specific reasons: To make experiential the fact that a relationship with God is the beginning of all wisdom and to boldly pursue excellence in education.
Concordia Christian Day School invites, welcomes, and admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students in the school. It does not discriminate based on race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its policies, scholarship, and other school-administered programs.

My Concordia Story

As you may have heard, we are hosting not one, not two, but three Kafka Summits in 2021. No matter where you are in the world, there’s a Summit event that will fall into your daytime schedule, or at least part of it. When we say we value the health of the Kafka Community, we mean your sleep too.
Kicking off the year is Kafka Summit Europe 2021 on May 11–12. This is a virtual event, like all of the year’s Summits. You can—and, between you and me, should—check out the entire agenda of breakout sessions, keynotes, and lightning talks, but let me give you some highlights here:
- Jay Kreps will be kicking the keynotes off as per the usual. Following him at lunchtime, I’m really excited to be able to welcome Zhamak Dehghani, who will be talking about Data Mesh. This is an exciting new topic of great interest to those of us in the business of data that moves.
- Have you ever had an outage caused by a message that your consumers couldn’t process? Stripe’s Andrey Falko has. In this talk, he will show us the topic versioning scheme and control plane functionality that he deployed to shrink these outages to a manageable size.
- Adidas’ session will delve into building a next-generation observability system on top of Apache Kafka®. They’ve been able to keep their systems running in the face of 100 billion messages per day. You’ll gain a lot of insight by standing in their shoes for a moment. You’ll get a kick out of what they have to say. (I could go on.)
- AO (a large electrical retailer in the UK, for my non-UK readers) will tell us the story of how they built out an enterprise-wide data governance framework, including some tooling that they developed in-house and released as open source. I field questions about data governance and Kafka often enough, so I know many of you are interested in this.
- Xiaoman Dong will talk about how Stripe uses Apache Pinot with Apache Kafka for real-time OLAP on half-petabyte tables of financial data.
- Simon Aubury, Principal Data Engineer at ThoughtWorks and Confluent Community Catalyst, looks back on five years of building event-driven systems and gives his slightly younger self advice on how he might have done it better, given the benefit of hindsight.
- Confluent’s Jason Gustafson will give us the goods on the new feature underlying KIP-500 and the removal of ZooKeeper: Kafka’s own implementation of the Raft protocol. This is an important piece of distributed systems technology that you’d want to understand anyway, even apart from its application in Kafka. Check it out.
As always, head to the Kafka Summit site to check out the full agenda and register. And if you’re interested in speaking at a Summit later in the year, I cannot encourage you strongly enough to head to the appropriate one and submit your proposal now:
And making possible this record-setting three Summit year is the Kafka Summit Program Committee. These folks have spent hours upon hours reviewing and rating abstracts just for the European Summit so far, and their work is not done. I’d like to thank them for all their support in curating the agenda that we’ve put together. By name, they are:
- Andrew Schofield, Event Streams Chief Architect, IBM
- Joy Gao, Software Engineer, Figma
- Anna McDonald, Principal Technical Account Manager, Confluent
- Loic Divad, Software Engineer, Spotify
- Viktor Gamov, Developer Advocate, Confluent
- Gunnar Morling, Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
- Jun Rao, Co-founder, Confluent
- Lena Hall, Senior Software Engineer and Advocate, Microsoft
- Robin Moffatt, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent
- Nikki Thean, Staff Engineer, Etsy
- Dave Klein, Developer Advocate, Confluent
- Tim Berglund, Senior Director of Developer Advocacy, Confluent | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Rep. Chris Pappas has named a Bedford student as the winner of the Congressional App Challenge in New Hampshire’s 1st district. Bedford High School Tolleson’s Daniel Etheridge submitted Now-Do, an app that reminds people of their daily tasks.
When asked why they were passionate about creating an organizational app the student replied, “I was inspired to make this app after being burned by countless to-do apps that simply did not work for me.” The student hopes to encourage other students to better their communities by using their computer science skills.
Over 10,000 students registered for the 2019 Congressional App Challenge. These students created and submitted 2,177 functioning apps, marking the end of the most successful Congressional App Challenge to date. All told, 304 Members of Congress hosted Congressional App Challenges in their districts across 48 states, Puerto Rico, the Mariana Islands, and Washington, D.C.
The CAC is an initiative of the U.S. House of Representatives, where Members of Congress host contests in their districts for middle school and high school students, encouraging them to learn to code and inspiring them to pursue careers in computer science. The non-profit Internet Education Foundation provides the CAC with supplemental staffing and support. In the five years of the Congressional App Challenge, the program has yielded 1134 App Challenges across 48 states. Thousands of functional apps have been created by over 25,000 students, and participant demographics surpass all industry diversity metrics. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved SIGA Technologies Inc's tecovirimat (TPOXX) for the treatment of smallpox.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first drug indicated for the treatment of smallpox.
Tecovirimat (TPOXX)—a drug developed in conjunction with the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)—has been approved for the US market under the FDA’s Animal Rule, which allows for efficacy results from qualified animal studies to support a drug approval when human trials would be considered unethical.
FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD, said tecovirimat provides more assurance versus public concern of potential bioterrorism involving smallpox.
“To address the risk of bioterrorism, Congress has taken steps to enable the development and approval of countermeasures to thwart pathogens that could be employed as weapons,” Gottlieb said in a statement. “Today’s approval provides an important milestone in these efforts.”
With its approval, tecovirimat became the first product to be awarded a Material Threat Medical Countermeasure priority review voucher, Gottlieb said. Its application was previously granted Fast Track and Priority Review designations, and an Orphan Drug designation with its approval.
As Contagion® previously reported, the approval of tecovirimat for smallpox is largely based on the results of a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which revealed that twice-daily dosing of 600 mg of tecovirimat was safe in humans. Additionally, the investigators found that 10 mg/kg dose over 14 days was capable of achieving over 90% survival in a monkeypox/nonhuman primate model and a dose of 40 mg/kg for 14 days was found to be similarly efficacious in the rabbitpox/rabbit model.
In the human safety trials, the most frequently reported side effects were headache, nausea, and abdominal pain.
Smallpox is caused by the variola virus and is capable of spreading through direct contact between people. Symptoms include fever, exhaustion, headache, and backache within 10 to 14 days of infection, as well as a rash of small, pink bumps that could develop into sores.
Complications commonly associated with smallpox include encephalitis, corneal ulcerations, and blindness.
Though the World Health Organization (WHO) declared smallpox an eradicated disease in 1980, concern over its use as a bioweapon has persisted. Some of that concern may be quelled with tecovirimat’s approval.
“Today’s action reflects the FDA’s commitment to ensuring that the US is prepared for any public health emergency with timely, safe, and effective medical products,” Gottlieb said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Corinne M. Flick speaks with Anja Langenbucher, Director of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Europe, about:
Private Foundations: Catalysts for Global Cooperation
Here’s what she said:
We are able to take risks in a very different way than the public sector and the private sector. We are not subject to normal political cycles. That enables us to take long-term risks in a much more strategic way.
We try to be much more accountable to a broad public. I think the most important thing is that we never work alone […] We are working with the entire UN system, the multilateral health organisations, the private sector, and with civil society.
Institution building is very complex and requires an equally diverse set of actors to be successful. Here it is even more important for us to be very clear what role we can play, which can only be a facilitating and supporting role.
The most important thing is to ensure equitable access to a vaccine once it becomes available.
There is now an incentive for many countries to collaborate. But the moment we know the winning vaccine there is a huge danger of a bidding war […] Then everyone will be worse off.
We’re facing a situation where we’re probably going to have a billion doses of a vaccine – if everything goes right – by the end of next year. That is not remotely enough to serve the world. It’s probably not even enough to serve the high-income countries.
We need more investment in R&D, more global collaboration across the scientific community, no nationalistic behaviour; and building strong health systems globally. These are things that we can do to better prepare us for any new disease that will come. And it will come. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Roman Baths and Pump Room
The Roman Baths are one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe. There is a lot to see, so please allow at least two hours to get the most from your visit
Bath Thermae Spa
Britain's original and only natural hot water thermal spa.
Jane Austen Centre
Situated in an original Georgian townhouse, it tells the story of Jane?s time in Bath, including the effect that living here had on her and her writing.
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to it being dominated by beautiful Georgian crescents and houses all built by locally quarried Bath stone.
The last of the great medieval churches of England, where the first King of England was crowned. Called "The Lantern of the West" thanks to its beautiful stained glass windows.
Museums and Galleries
An exceptional choice of museums and galleries which covers many aspects of the city's wonderful history, including the American Museum in Britain, The Building of Bath Museum, The Victoria Art Gallery and the Holborne Museum.
Bath Assembly Rooms
Elegant public rooms at the heart of fashionable Georgian society with a magnificent interior which consists of a splendid Ball Room, Tea Room and Card Room, connected by two fine octagonal rooms.
Bradford On Avon
The Hotel is an easy walk or cycle along the canal to visit many historic sights, browse the independent shops and eat or drink in the many cafes and restaurants.
The town has many fine examples of architecture from the Saxon, Medieval, Tudor, Georgian and Industrial Revolution periods. Also, to the north of the town, there was an Iron Age Fort and, recently discovered, a very important Roman villa.
The Saxon Church of St. Laurence dates from the early 11th century and is one of the most complete examples of a chapel of that period. It is an unforgettable experience to stand in the tall, narrow stone built nave and admire the two flying angels set high on the wall above.
The stunning Tithe Barn was built in the mid 14th century and inspires the same sort of awe that one feels on entering a great cathedral. Used as a setting for several TV dramas (most recently Wolf Hall), it is 168 feet long with a massive timbered roof spanning 33 feet beneath stone tiles weighing 100 tons. It retains its old threshing floors and other features from its agricultural past.
Barton Grange farm
Set in the beautiful Barton Farm Country Park, with its ancient packhorse bridge and bordered by the River Avon and Kennet and Avon Canal, is a range of medieval buildings. This was the grange of the nuns of Shaftesbury Abbey who had been granted the manor of Bradford by King Ethelred in AD 1001...
The name of the town originates from the 'broad ford' across the River Avon and the bridge is a natural focus for the town. Although widened in the 17th century, it still retains two of the original 13th century arches. A notable feature is the 'Blind House' built in the 18th century to serve as the town lock-up.
Kennet and Avon canal
Originally opened in 1810 the canal runs from Reading to Bristol. One of the deepest locks on the canal is in Bradford on Avon. Boat hire and boat trips are available from the working wharf and a particularly attractive mile and a half stretch to Avoncliffe is a popular walk.
Built of stone from local quarries, the magnificent Avoncliff Aqueduct carries the canal over the River Avon and the railway line to Bath. A nearby picturesque old pub with its riverside gardens is a popular refreshment stop.
The Town Centre
The Shambles, the meat market in medieval times, is now a bustling pedestrian walkway lined with a range of small, independent shops. Among the many attractive shops and eating places in the town centre, is the Victorian Tea Shop which has been named by the prestigious UK Tea Guild as the ‘UK's Top Tea Place'.
Browse around the museum which is home to a diverse and fascinating collection illustrating the history of the town. Of particular interest is the Christopher Pharmacy, an exact reconstruction of the Victorian chemist's shop which used to serve the town. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
George Strait is the undeniable “King of Country Music.” He has a music career that spans more than 30 years. And that includes 60 No. 1 singles, more than any other artist in any genre. He boasts 33 platinum or multi-platinum-selling albums, more than any country artist and third across all genres behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
Truly a legendary, here are some other facts you might not know about the “The Cowboy Rides Away” singer.
10. He Has A Degree In Agriculture
George Strait pretty knows his stuff when it comes to ranch livin’. In 1975, the King of Country enrolled at Southwest Texas State University, which is now the Texas State, and earned a degree in agriculture. No wonder why he has been very convincing on those Tractor Supply Co. commercials.
9. He was named ‘Texan of the Year’
In 2018, the Country Music Hall of Fame Member had been named Texan of the Year by the Texas Legislative Conference, a statewide group of business and political leaders. Every year, the honorary title is given to a Texas resident who made a notable impact on the state. George Strait was chosen for his fundraising efforts in the wake of widespread flooding following Hurricane Harvey.
8. He Has Been With Only One Record Label For His Entire Professional Career
George Strait, whose name has become synonymous with “pure country” since his 1981 debut, has been with MCA Records Nashville from the very beginning. He has produced 30 studio albums, three live albums, and 11 compilation albums with the label. And of these albums, 36 have received a certification of at least Gold from the Recording Industry Association of America.
7. He Has Only Been Married Once
He did not only stay loyal to his record label but as well as to the love of his life, his high school sweetheart Norma Strait, ever since they eloped in 1971. He calls her “the first girl I ever loved.” The two went to high school together in Pearsall, Texas, and “knew each other forever,” the country star said.
6. Ace In The Hole Band Is The Only Band That Has Ever Backed The Country Star
The King of Country is not the only one loyal here. The Ace in the Hole Band has been George Strait’s backup band since 1975. They met when Strait was still in the University.
The band members also have recorded with George Strait in the studio. Perhaps the most notable of their studio recordings was Strait’s 1987 release, “Ocean Front Property.” The song was the first country song ever to enter the charts at No. 1.
5. Merle Haggard Changed His Life
George Strait took the news especially hard when Merle Haggard passed away. He said Haggard’s music ultimately pushed him toward a career as a country artist.
4. He Thinks Of His Late Daughter Whenever He Sings “You’ll Be There”
In 1986, George Strait lost his daughter Jenifer Strait to a car accident; she was only 13 years old then. Though the singer has not talked much about the incident, he admits that his 2005 song “You’ll Be There” makes him think of his little girl.
“I’m a religious person. I honestly believe we will see each other in heaven someday,” Strait said. “I wanted to do the song badly. The writer, Cory Mayo, held that song out because he knew I wanted to do it, and he waited until I had the chance. It was kind of him to do that.”
3. He Is An Avid NBA Watcher
And you will often seem him sitting at the courtside of San Antonio Spurs games.
2. He’s Not A Grand Ole Opry Member
Despite being the King of Country, George Strait is not a member of the Opry. The country legend reportedly turned down an invitation to become a member of the historic organization, though the reason was not revealed.
1. He Holds The Record For Most CMA Awards In The History of Country Music
George Strait does not only hold the record for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard country charts, but he has also racked up more Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association awards than anyone in country music history. George Strait has 83 CMA nominations and 23 wins. This includes three wins for Entertainer of the Year. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Join Court Theatre and the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM) for an evening of art, exploration, and conversation about the history of housing injustice. In a conversation moderated by NPHM Executive Director Lisa Lee, housing advocates and experts will share their creative approaches to interrogating the well-intentioned narrative that homeownership is the answer to combating systems of oppression that hinder Black mobility and generational wealth.
Prior to the conversation, visit the National Public Housing Museum’s exhibitions:

How do you transform a large kitchen space into something workable? This recent gorgeous Thornlands, Brisbane kitchen renovation is a prime example of that. From open and impractical to clean and functional, built with modern clean white lines with black accents.
Here is a tour of the kitchen before Craftbuilt Kitchens stepped in for the renovations:
How do you make use of an area as large as this? Our Craftbuilt designers started by adding a wall.
This enormous space has been transformed to a very modern, practical sized kitchen with a great sized butler’s pantry.
Messy prep and dirty dishes can be tucked away in the new butler’s pantry leaving the main kitchen a beautiful space for entertaining.
Everything is only one step away with this new design layout instead of walking a marathon every time you cook.
Sleek clean lines with black accents make for a very modern look and adding just a touch of timber for warmth on the pantry frosted glass double doors which also let plenty of light in keeping the space light and airy.
This area is now a stunning and enjoyable space to work and entertain in. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Weight management supports your pet through their weight loss journey and improves their overall health. Helping your pet maintain a healthy weight means reducing their risk of contracting a range of preventable diseases that could shorten their lifespan. To book a consultation, please contact us at 613-258-5745.
What does weight management include?
Before your pet is placed on a weight management plan, we assess their overall health to determine which weight loss goals we’ll work together to achieve. We start by considering key metrics, like your pet’s weight, breed, age, and lifestyle, to determine a healthy weight for them. A healthy weight typically falls within a specific range based on these factors. Your pet’s weight management plan will be specific to their needs, including reducing their daily calorie intake and modifications. For example, pet owners unknowingly exceed their pet’s daily calorie intake with treats. In addition to reducing the number of calories your pet will eat daily, we’ll also curb habits like feeding unhealthy treats that negatively impact your pet’s diet.
How does weight management help my pet?
In addition to helping your pet lose additional pounds that could affect their mobility and quality of life, you’ll reduce the likelihood of your pet developing diseases that are more common in obese pets. Some of these include:
- High blood pressure
- Respiratory disease
- Bladder stones | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Get maximum energy and recover faster with intravenous nutrition at VIDA Wellness and Beauty.
For people who are healthy and need an energy boost or increased protection from viral illnesses, an intravenous cocktail can be rejuvenating or beneficial before a cold season, some strenuous travel or activity, or just to feel great.
Why Is It So Effective?
It may surprise you, but most diseases and conditions are related to digestive disorders, taking away the body’s ability to properly absorb the nutrients it needs to return to good health.
In addition, many diseases and inflammation in the body cause our system to use nutrients rapidly, or require high amounts to heal properly.
Since nutrients are administered directly into the bloodstream in IV therapy, we skip digestion. This is why it is so effective! Furthermore, the levels in the blood are temporarily increased because the nutrients are sent directly to the cells and to the mitochondria, which is where they act. This temporary rush activates cells immediately, so energy is produced more efficiently.
Some patients feel a rush of energy that can last for days or weeks. People suffering from fibromyalgia experience a decrease in pain, for others with arthritis or ulcerative colitis, the infusion helps them obtain the necessary nutrients in the cells. Patients with chronic asthma or other lung diseases, heart problems, and chronic allergy problems may respond with more energy and fewer symptoms. Patients who are affected by an infection can strengthen their immune system, making them less prone to viral illnesses.
IV Therapy for Curing the Diseases
IV therapy is very beneficial method for healing the diseases naturally; some need that pre-operative boost because they don’t find optimal nutrition before their surgery. Also after the operation they can access an intravenous cocktail that will help them to a faster healing process as well as decrease symptoms or post-operative discomfort. A person with symptoms of menopause, cancer the IV therapy is good for their health. Some of the most requested are: Vitamin C, Iron, Multivitamin, and the Immune System Boost. The IV therapy is very beneficial for curing the many types of diseases without the use of medicines.
How Is The IV Applied? Is It Going To Hurt? Are There Side Effects?
The process is simple and also relaxing, since we have a room with comfortable armchairs, plasma screen with cable and air conditioning. A small catheter is placed into the vein, and the infusion begins to be given gently, in about 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. Side effects are very rare and are regularly limited to slight irritation in the vein. Some sensations are feeling the taste of vitamins after the infusion begins.
The Benefits Of IV Therapy Are Multiple, Some Of Them Are:
- Increased energy
- Strengthen the immune system
- Obtain high doses of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that do not need to be absorbed through the intestines
- Decrease the time of recovery from strong workouts or illnesses | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

He’s sporting a tarp, an innertube, and windchimes now but he’s the same frisky fellow from last year.
Cowichan Lake’s famous bull elk, formerly known as Line Dancer for his amazing head gear, has returned with a new collection for fall 2017, according to Denis Martel of Wilderness Watch.
Now, he’s being called Tuber by folks who’ve seen him.
“We saw him yesterday [Sept. 20]. We were so fortunate to see him with his harem. He’s doing quite well. And he does have an adornment of articles on his antlers. He’s got what looks like an innertube up there, he’s also got a tarp that he’s run into, and he’s also got some windchimes at last count. He’s into everything. It’s amazing what they do,” he said. “My granddaughter videotaped another bull while they were out camping and that bull was flipping logs around because he was feeling his oats.”
Because the elk are in their rutting season right now, they are edgy and willing to fight to preserve their territory and harem of cows so don’t try to get close to a bull.
“They can move faster than you can. You’d have to get out of the bush, then get around your truck, and then get in. He’s got you before you even get there,” Martel said.
But Tuber, despite his new look, is apparently in good shape.
“He’s out there. When we saw him, he had four to six cows with him, that he’s gathered together as his harem.
“He’s not in any danger at all. He’s eating well. When we saw him, he’d just finished eating and was bedding down and was chewing his cud. He saw us and wasn’t panicked because we were no threat. I forgot my bugle so I had whacked a stump. Then he stood up. It is the same one we had last year.”
Tranquilizing this elk is not an option, according to Martel.
“This guy already had a yellow tag in him; he’s already been tranquilized once. He’s in no big danger; that stuff is not impeding his vision or his ability to eat or to walk, so those three things mean that he doesn’t have to be tranquilized.”
And at this time of year, that’s important.
“If you dart him now, with the stress that he’s under because of the rut, because he’s 24 hours a day on alert, fighting and whatever else he’s done, you may find yourself with a dead elk. He may not revive himself. If you give them a tranquilizing dart, sometimes they’re so down they just can’t come back.”
Martel said that years back he saw that happen when a conservation officer from Nanaimo had to dart a bull elk.
“He [the conservation officer] cupped his hands right over top of the elk’s nose and was giving him nose-to-mouth resuscitation. He tried and tried and tried but, no way, he was gone. It was so sad. We had to do it because he was all hooked up. He would have died from starvation had we not freed him. He had been tromping through people’s yards and whatever.”
Martel urged anyone living in an area where elk might pass by to clean up obstacles from your yard.
“If you’ve got garden meshes that are still up, or tennis or badminton nets, tubes on the beach or anything like that that they can run into at night, please put them away,” he said.
Martel said he’d seen one Youbou homeowner who had a tennis net across their driveway all summer to keep people from coming through.
“I mentioned it to [conservation officer Sgt.] Scott Norris and he said he’d talk to the people. I went by there this week and it was gone. That was so nice of those people. If there are people out there who have done this, I thank them from the bottom of my heart because it means one less elk that’s susceptible to having traumatic problems through the rut,” he said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The thrill of the hunt: More women are signing up for it
| Montpelier, Vt.
More women are taking up the largely male-dominated sport of hunting to stock their freezers with local foods and as cultural influences, including movie heroines and marketers, make it more socially acceptable.
Many of the new female hunters did not grow up hunting and are joining spouses or boyfriends in the sport, researchers say. Hunting outfitters are tapping into that. Movies like "The Hunger Games," ''The Hobbit," and "Brave," which feature skilled female archers, have driven more girls and women to the sport, researchers say.
According to the most recent data from the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, the number of female hunters rose from 1.2 million in 2006 to 1.5 million in 2011, a 25 percent increase. From 2001 to 2011, the percentage of hunters who were female rose from 9 percent to 11 percent.
One of them is Tammy Miller, 46, of Fairfax, Vermont, a bow hunter who last week got a 931-pound bull moose, setting an archery record in Vermont, after scouting the area for weeks.
She got interested in hunting more than 10 years ago after divorcing and becoming a single parent trying to make ends meet. She then met the man who is now her husband, an avid hunter who taught her and bought her first bow.
"Once I started, the experience of being quiet in nature and being able to provide for my family, I was hooked," Ms. Miller said.
For fellow hunter Cheryl Frank Sullivan, 34, of Underhill, Vermont, hunting provides a sense of empowerment to be able to be self-sufficient.
Now more women are joining in the sport, and researchers say marketers are helping to lure them in.
"It's almost like the chicken-or-egg thing. There's certainly been a slight increase in female hunters. The marketing folks have grabbed onto that, they've started using images of females hunting and shooting so more and more females are doing it," said Mark Damian Duda, executive director of Virginia-based Responsive Management, which does surveys for federal and state fish and wildlife departments.
Lisa Stinson of Velpen, Indiana, got drawn in when she tried hunting about 12 years ago. The 33-year-old likes the peacefulness of being outdoors, away from everyday life. The food is another bonus.
"I like the fact that it is fresh and I know where it came from," she said. "I know that there's no added hormones."
More families also are taking their daughters, as well as sons, hunting, said Michelle Cain, a wildlife information specialist with the state Division of Fish and Wildlife in Indiana, where the number of hunting licenses sold to women rose from 17,541 in 2006 to 33,922 in 2014, a 93 percent increase.
One explanation for the growth in female hunters is economic, said Mary Zeiss Stange, a professor of women's studies and religion at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, and author of "Woman the Hunter."
Women have more disposable income than ever before and a history of entering male-dominated areas of activity, ranging from careers to recreational and other pursuits, she said.
Another, she said, is a cultural shift.
When she and her husband would go away for a weekend of hunting in the 1990s, she'd tell students and colleagues, if asked, that she'd been camping or hiking, she said. Now some of her female students are interested in hunting.
"What we're seeing is people are coming to hunting for a variety of reasons, but certainly among women and girls, it's all the reasons that attract men, like adventure, fun, exercise, all that stuff," she said. "But I do think there is an interesting sense in which on the one hand these women and girls are conscious that they're crossing certain boundaries that a generation ago they couldn't." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I do like parades. There is always so much colour and pageantry at them. Growing up in Moose Jaw, we used to be known as the band capital of North America. Some 80 bands would march down the streets of our city. I was amazed at the colourful band uniforms. Every colour of the rainbow was represented. I enjoyed hearing the big brass tubas as they marched past. I loved the lilt of the piccolo. The big drums would echo in my chest as they were pounded ever so strongly.
Other parades I remember were things like the Canada Day parade where various community groups would show their love of the country. I remember watching on television the Rose Bowl parade from California. It would often be bitterly cold outside my house and I was amazed at all of the flowers used in that parade. I remember the Caribbana parade in Toronto which celebrated the city's vibrant West Indian community with it's bright colours and calypso music. And of course there were the pride parades in Toronto where one and a half million people crowded the street dancing to disco music and there were rainbows everywhere.
Yes I have been to more somber type parades. Marching for the lost citizens of Colombia who were victims of government annihilation programmes, marching for peace during the turbulent cold war times, marching to support the environment in this past spring's climate march, marching for justice on several Good Friday walks. Not all parades are celebrations- some have a great purpose.
But still I think parades and marches are wonderful. You bring diverse groups of people together, some with seemingly divergent points of view on many things, yet they come together for one purpose. Differences are put aside and the groups come to support an issue, or to celebrate, or to dance. Parades and marches help us to say yes we are diverse but we can be together. Yes we are different but together we can move forward. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
KARACHI: Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari on Saturday condemned the incidents of “violence and threats” by protesters outside the Dawn offices in Islamabad in recent days.
In a tweet, Ms Mazari said: “Peaceful protest is everyone’s right but giving threats to others cannot be acceptable. I disagree often with @dawn_com’s line but I strongly condemn violence and threats by protesters outside Dawn’s offices.”
“Sadly our society can’t rid itself of Zia’s legacy of intolerance and vitriol,” she added.
PML-N stalwart Khawaja Asif also voiced his support for the publication. “In this hour of trial we stand with Dawn,” he said, prior to attending a consultative session between party leaders in London.
“Dawn is a newspaper founded by the Quaid-i-Azam. Over the last seven decades, they have kept the traditions of our freedom of press and the freedom of expression and [followed] the highest standards of journalism,” he said.
Shireen says society has not been able to rid itself of Zia’s legacy of intolerance
“Any attempt to curb the freedom of expression in Pakistan is one, unconstitutional, and secondly, it negates the basic fundamentals of the creation of Pakistan,” he added.
On Friday, Dawn’s Islamabad bureau was besieged by protesters for a second time this week against the publication of a news report regarding the origin of the London Bridge attacker who stabbed two people to death last week.
Nearly 100 people who had arrived in vans gathered outside the newspaper’s offices and chanted slogans against the media group and set copies of the newspaper on fire. Police arrived at the scene but the protesters dispersed on their own after about 40 minutes.
A mob had first staged a demonstration outside Dawn’s Islamabad offices on Monday. The charged mob, carrying banners and chanting slogans against the newspaper, had remained outside the office building for nearly three hours, besieging the premises and making the staffers hostage.
A day later, dozens of people staged a protest outside the Karachi Press Club against Dawn and made threats against its staffers. They also threatened to besiege the offices of the media group if “prompt action is not taken against the management and outlets of the organisation”.
The siege was condemned by media bodies, journalists, lawmakers and rights groups.
Global media watchdogs — Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) — called on the authorities to condemn the besieging of Dawn offices in Islamabad and to prevent demonstrations against the newspaper from turning violent.
“Pakistanis have every right to object to and demonstrate against the Dawn newspaper over its coverage, but threatening violence steps way over the line,” said Kathleen Carroll, CPJ’s board chair, in a statement issued on Tuesday. “We call on Pakistani authorities to take all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of Dawn’s staff.”
The protest outside the newspaper’s Islamabad offices on Monday was condemned by the prime minister’s aide Firdous Ashiq Awan two days later, when she was asked about the siege.

KARACHI: The man who once used to lead the line for England was, on Monday, leading talks for the launch of a franchise league in Pakistan.
Former England and Liverpool striker Michael Owen scored for the Pakistan Football League as soon as he touched down in Islamabad, helping the project get the government’s nod.
The approval came when a delegation of the PFL, which has been termed “illegal and unsanctioned” by the Pakistan Football Federation Normalisation Committee, met Inter-provinical Coordination minister Rana Sanaullah, who is also the prime minister’s adviser on political and public affairs.
A statement from the Ministry of Inter-provincial Coordination termed the meeting “a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to promote sports, in line with the Prime Minister’s Vision”.
This is the second time Owen has come to Pakistan in a bid to launch a franchise league in the country. On his last visit in 2022, he came as the brand ambassador of Global Soccer Ventures (GSV), which has now been rebranded to PFL.
The PFL plan, according to an official statement, is to construct a “state-of-the-art soccer city stadium” in Karachi. Two years ago, GSV held a “ground breaking ceremony” at the NED University.
Those plans have been revived. Alongside Owen this time were his former England and Liverpool strike partner Emile Heskey and former France full-back Pascal Chimbonda.
The PFL has also committed to establish academies alongside holding the franchise league.
In an event at Parliament House later on Monday, Senate Chairman Yousuf Raza Gilani assured his support for the PFL, which hopes to be the football counterpart of cricket’s Pakistan Super League.
“Let us celebrate the spirit of football, embrace diversity, and work together to create a brighter future one where every child has the chance to chase their dreams on the football field,” he added.
The PFL plans to launch its event in November this year but it faces opposition from the FIFA-appointed PFF NC. The Haroon Malik-led NC has stated it is the sole body to regulate football in the country and threatened it would open disciplinary proceedings against players and officials who decide to take part in the PFL.

Clint Mansell is an English musician and composer who gained fame in the 1980s with the rock band Pop Will Eat Itself and then became a successful film composer known best for his collaborations with director Darren Aronofsky. His score for Aronofsky's 2000 film 'Requiem for a Dream' featuring the Kronos Quartet reached number 14 on Billboard's Soundtracks Album Chart in 2016; a track from that score titled 'Lux Aeterna' is often heard on other film soundtracks and television programmes.
Born in Coventry, Mansell began playing pop music professionally as a teenager, formed a band called From Eden and then in the mid 1980s co-founded Pop Will Eat Itself. They had moderate U.K. chart success with singles and albums until they broke up in the mid-'90s. Mansell moved to New York and then to Los Angeles where he has become established as a composer for movies.
He scored Aronofsky's first feature film 'Pi' in 1998 and his second 'Requiem for a Dream' two years later. Other film work followed and he worked with the director again on 'The Fountain' (2006), 'The Wrestler' (2008) and 'Black Swan' (2010); the latter film was a major hit and Mansell's score was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Mansell has toured with the Kronos Quartet and he collaborated with Trent Reznor on the album 'The Fragile' by Nine Inch Nails. Other notable film scores include Duncan Jones's 'Moon' (2009), Chan-wook Park's 'Stoker' (2013), Aronofsky's 'Noah' (2014) and Ben Wheatley's 'High-Rise' (2015). In 2017, he wrote the score for the feature film 'Loving Vincent', directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman and made from oil paintings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A root canal isn’t something people tend to look forward to. Getting your teeth fixed can be a source of worry, and once it’s done the last thing you want to do is have it done again.
Once you’ve had a root canal, though, will you need more work done down the line? If you’re worried about expensive dentist visits later on, don’t be. Here’s what you need to know.
Root canal longevity
A root canal that’s properly performed can last a lifetime. When you get a root canal, your tooth is opened up and the interior is removed, leaving it hollow. It’s then filled with an inert material and capped with an artificial crown. Metal crowns used to be more common but these days most caps are porcelain or another similar material that matches the surrounding teeth better.
When that cap is placed, it may be temporary or permanent. But once the permanent crown is placed, it should be fitted carefully to the tooth and should hold for the life of the tooth.
The success rate for root canals is over 90 percent. It’s a well-established procedure that’s been performed millions of times over the years and usually works correctly the first try. There are a few areas where it can go wrong, though.
Usually problems occur when not all the diseased tissue is removed from the interior of the tooth. This can cause a secondary infection inside the tooth in an area that’s not easy to get to. If there is pain or inflammation in the area of a tooth that’s had a root canal performed, it can be an indication of this.
Making sure root canals work the first time
The most important thing to make sure a root canal works is the crown. If it slips or breaks, the inside of the tooth will be exposed to the mouth again and infection can occur. A good crown holds the tooth together so it can’t break into smaller pieces as well as capping off the cavity left by a root canal.
If it’s not done correctly and there’s infection inside, the crown will need to be removed and the interior of the tooth re-cleaned. In our dental office we use a cone beam CT scan for a 3D image of the tooth. This ensures that we get all the infected tissue the first time around and don’t have to come back.

Tutto quello che avreste voluto sapere sull’Owner-Drawing
In questo articolo Dino Esposito tratta in maniera approfondita i seguenti argomenti:
– Customizing Menu Rendering
– Overriding the Menu of a Form
– The MeasureItem Event
– The DrawItem Event
– Painting the Menu Item
– Context Menu and TextBoxes
– Using Graphical Menus Seamlessly
e risponde implicitamente ad un mio dubbio circa la possibilità di personalizzare il context menu di default del TextBox:
The Textbox is the only control in Windows Forms that has a built-in context menu. The control exposes a ContextMenu property, but it doesn’t return an instance of the context menu that appears when you right-click. Why? The code for the textbox’s context menu is hardcoded in the Win32 API. In particular, the context menu is generated on the fly each time the user right-clicks. The menu is then released and destroyed once the selection is made. You can replace this menu with your own by setting the ContextMenu property, but there’s no chance to manipulate the original menu. Since the menu has a very short (and unmanaged) life, how can you easily subclass it and mark it as owner-draw?
The simplest trick that I’ve found is the following: create a TextboxContextMenu class that represents a custom context menu with all of the items of a standard textbox context menu (Undo, Cut, Copy, and the like). Implementing these methods is relatively simple and samples can be found in the MSDN documentation. Once you hold an instance of a managed class that works like the typical context menu of a TextBox, you first make it owner-draw and then you bind it to any TextBox you want:
Dim txtMenu As New TextBoxContextMenu gMenu.AddIcon(txtMenu.MenuItemCut, "..\images\cut.bmp") gMenu.AddIcon(txtMenu.MenuItemCopy, "..\images\copy.bmp") gMenu.AddIcon(txtMenu.MenuItemPaste, "..\images\paste.bmp") gMenu.AddIcon(txtMenu.MenuItemDelete, "..\images\delete.bmp") TextBox1.ContextMenu = txtMenu gMenu.Init(TextBox1.ContextMenu)
The TextBoxContextMenu class lives in the same assembly that contains the GraphicMenu class. You should be aware that owner-drawn menus don’t work correctly when attached to a NotifyIcon component. For more information on this problem see Knowledge Base article 827043. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Basu Jayati et al.
The transcription factor ThPOK (encoded by the Zbtb7b gene) controls homeostasis and differentiation of mature helper T cells, while opposing their differentiation to CD4 intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) in the intestinal mucosa. Thus CD4 IEL differentiation requires ThPOK transcriptional repression via reactivation of the ThPOK transcriptional silencer element (Sil). In the present study, we describe a new autoregulatory loop whereby ThPOK binds to the Sil to maintain its own long-term expression in CD4 T cells. Disruption of this loop in vivo prevents persistent ThPOK expression, leads to genome-wide changes in chromatin accessibility and derepresses the colonic regulatory T (T) cell gene expression signature. This promotes selective differentiation of naive CD4 T cells into GITRPD-1CD25 (Triple) T cells and conversion to CD4 IELs in the gut, thereby providing dominant protection from colitis. Hence, the ThPOK autoregulatory loop represents a key mechanism to physiologically control ThPOK expression and T cell differentiation in the gut, with potential therapeutic relevance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The test measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood, which could be an indicator of thyroid disease. It is important to diagnose an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) as early as possible. By taking this at-home test it may help you spot a potential issue now and avoid more serious health concerns in the future.
Normal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels typically fall between 0.4 and 4.0 milliunits per liter (mU/L). This TSH test detects elevated levels above 5 μIU/ml, which may indicate hypothyroidism and require further investigation.
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) signals the thyroid gland to make hormones that control how your body uses and stores energy, called metabolism. When TSH and thyroid hormones are out of balance, this can cause a range of issues relating to the muscles, breathing, body temperature, and more. Testing the TSH level in your blood can reveal if your thyroid gland is functioning normally.
When the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough of two important hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), it is called hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid. In response, the pituitary gland makes more TSH to try to stimulate the thyroid so it will make more hormones. Hypothyroidism is more common than hyperthyroidism and can significantly affect both physical and mental health if left untreated.
Various factors can lead to hypothyroidism, including insufficient thyroid hormone production, lack of iodine, genetic predispositions, chronic inflammation, and hormonal shifts during pregnancy and menopause.
Both men and women can have an underactive thyroid, although it's more common in women. Children can also develop an underactive thyroid and some babies are born with it. There's no way of preventing an underactive thyroid. Most cases are caused either by the immune system attacking the thyroid gland and damaging it, or by damage to the thyroid that occurs during some treatments for an overactive thyroid or thyroid cancer.
An underactive thyroid can often be successfully treated by taking daily hormone tablets to replace the hormones your thyroid is not making. People who have a thyroid disorder are likely to require regular TSH testing to ensure that their symptoms remain under control.
People with hypothyroidism, where the thyroid does not produce enough hormones, may experience signs and symptoms that include:
It’s important to talk to your healthcare provider if you’re experiencing these symptoms. Hypothyroidism is treatable, but needs to be identified as soon as possible.
The TSH test measures Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which prompts the thyroid to produce other hormones. This is a quick and easy test that detects potential abnormalities in your TSH levels, helping you understand if your thyroid is imbalanced.
TSH is often the first test doctors order when they suspect you have a thyroid disorder. It is important to have your TSH checked if you have symptoms of these thyroid disorders. The test may also be requested to monitor the effectiveness of treatment when a patient is being treated for a known thyroid disorder.
Understanding your thyroid health is essential, and our Thyroid TSH Test which can be easily performed at home offers a convenient and reliable starting point for this exploration.
This test can be used to screen for thyroid hormone levels using a simple blood sample. A TSH value above the normal range may indicate the thyroid is underactive. In rare cases, a high TSH result might be impacted by a pituitary gland issue, such as a tumor, which causes excessive production of TSH. A high TSH value can also occur in people with an underactive thyroid glands who have been receiving too little thyroid hormone medication.
A high TSH result might mean that you:
As well, pregnancy and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis might also cause an abnormally high TSH reading.
The procedure is quick, simple, and generally painless. Please follow the below steps to collect the blood sample:
Testing should be performed immediately after the fingerstick whole blood specimen has been collected.

Whether you’re flying through the sky, falling from a twelve-story building or having a romantic relationship with your neighbor, dreams are a window into a world without constraints. The barriers of our everyday life don’t exist. Some parts of our dream world appear realistic, but others are tokens of our imagination. And this begs to question: Do our dreams have meaning? For researchers, this has long been a point of contention.
According to Cognitive Neuroscientist Antti Revonsuo, dreams are meant to prepare us for real-life situations that we may encounter in the future. Dreaming simulates a world where we are immersed, he says. “Dreams helps us to recognize threats and learn how to respond to them in some meaningful way. We’re rehearsing them before they happen,” says Revonsuo.
The Purpose of Dreaming
Dreaming also prepares us for social interactions, says Revonsuo. Positive and neutral dreams may help hone our social cognition and perception. “We are very rarely alone in our dream world, so these dreams help us to rehearse social interaction,” he says.
It wouldn’t make sense for dreams not to have meaning because they’ve stayed throughout our evolutionary history, says Revonsuo. Animals also dream and it’s unlikely that it’s for no reason. Other experts contend that the breadth of dreaming is so wide that defining its purpose and meaning is like defining the purpose of waking thought.
Dreaming is just thinking, but in a different brain state. Defining its purpose depends on what you’re dreaming about, says Harvard psychology professor Deirdre Barrett, author of the book The Committee of Sleep. We agonize about many of the same things when we’re sleeping as when we’re awake, like relationships, work issues, hopes and fears, she says. Dreams are different, but the content is often the same.
“Visual areas of the brain are much more active during dream states as are emotional centers. While linear logic and language areas are damped down,” says Barrett. “We’re not thinking in words as much. We’re thinking in images, simple narratives and in intuitive emotional ways.”
Barrett says that dreams work out many of the same issues that we have when we’re awake, but she doesn't advise that they have a single purpose or even several purposes. “Dreams give us a different idea of how to do things because they help us to think outside of the box and they can solve problems that involve going against conventional wisdom,” she says.
Many of us have methods for approaching issues that stem from our early childhood experiences, says Barrett. But dreams help us to think differently because the prefrontal cortex, which is associated with habits and learned behaviors, is less active when we’re dreaming.
Should Your Dreams Ever Concern You?
You may find dreams automatically concerning when they’re terrifying. Things like post traumatic nightmares — more intense nightmares that may replay actual traumatic events and are particularly violent — should concern you. But in most cases, says Barrett, they already do because we wake up petrified.
Generally, however, people tend to get more concerned with their dreams than necessary. It’s relatively normal to have some sexual dreams about someone other than your monogamous partner. People may also have dreams where they’ve murdered someone, but that doesn’t mean they’re violent people in real life. Barrett says most of the time she’s telling clients not to worry about their dreams, most commonly those that involve sex or aggression.
“Dreams are casting a pretty loose net of associations to things that may be metaphorically a part of ourselves, but aren’t closely tied into any actions that we may take in real life,” says Barrett.
While it’s worth looking at your dreams and noticing some of the themes that might prevail, feeling guilty about a dreamed sexual encounter, isn’t necessary. Still, dreams can give us a different perspective on threats and problems that we encounter in our everyday life. What we dream at night can allow us to think in a more “flexible” way, says Barrett, and find new solutions to the issues that pervade our days. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On Sunday we met with friends to walk in the castle gardens of Schwetzingen, especially to the cherry garden of the mosque, because the cherry trees are starting to blossom. Weak intermittent clouds created a diffuse light in the park with warm intermediate tones. The well-designed baroque grounds everywhere show the joy of technical possibilities to expand – or even deceive – the human horizon of experience.
There is a small section in the park with a trompe l’oueil designed to make infinity tangible. In summer, ivy grows along the tunnel-shaped lattice to create a tube view.
When photographing the following avenue of trees at the edge of the mosque, it was of course clear that the perspective should give the impression of a long path. I tried 2 days later to increase this effect by repeating the image in the picture, which can easily be done with digital photography and post-processing. After the second repetition, I think the eye is very well deceived and no longer perceives a real end. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
DLG Luce – San Antonio – Congressman Gonzalez Announces Will Not Seek Re-election
As recently reported in the San Antonio Express News, Congressman Charlie Gonzalez has announced that he will not seek re-election to the Congressional seat which he has held since 1998.
In what will be the end of a political era, once Congressman Gonzalez steps down this will mark the first time since 1961 that neither he nor his father the late Henry B. Gonzalez has held the seat. While the district has recently been marred with uncertainty stemming from redistricting, a San Antonio Court drew new boundaries which largely will keep his district in tact. As such, Congressman Gonzalez has made clear that redistricting is not the reason that he is stepping down, instead citing a desire to move on in his career.
The DLG Luce family wishes Congressman Gonzalez the best in his future endevours and thanks him and his famliy for all they have contributed politically to San Antonio, Texas, and the entire United States.

In this episode Cynthia shares some of the considerations for deciding the size of a Discovery group or a House church.
Key Points from this episode:
- Don’t let the group get too big for everyone to be able to learn/repeat the story and participate well.
- Some people lock the group at 8 people. It’s not a rule but a guideline to consider.
- Generally speaking, don’t add new people to an existing group unless they already know others in the group and are part of the oikos
- Disciple Making Movements generally spread through relational networks that already exist.
- A mid-sized house church for the purpose of celebration and fellowship can have several discovery groups meeting together once a month. That maybe up to 30 or 40 people. But in the primary disciple-making group they shouldn’t be too large.
- If the size is getting big enough that you are considering renting a hall or moving it back to a church building then its too big. Split the group or multiply it. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Since your post mentions "oShell.run", I guess you're dealing with VBScript and not VB code?
In general, a parent process passes its environment down to a child process. At the operating system level, you can usually specify a new environment for the child process (e.g. to pass it data, like you want to). It doesn't seem like this is available in VBScript, though, so you're probably limited to the way you're currently trying to do it, prepending /set before the command you want to run.
A thing that springs to mind is you do "set -ua" - I don't know what the "u" parameter is supposed to do (not listed on my system with "set /?"), but more generally Windows uses forward-slash for arguments, not dash.
Here's a little cmd.exe session, which I hope will be instructive:
Also note that child environment is never propagated back to the parent process. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Senate Budget Committee released its 2018 budget blueprint on Sept. 29, setting the stage for up to $1.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next 10 years.
That's an astounding, alarming, amazing, pick-your-adjective amount. But the figure that caught my eye, and which earns this week's By the Numbers honor, is 13. As in Nov. 13.
That's the date set in the Senate budget resolution by which it wants some legislative flesh attached to the framework of a tax reform that Republicans released on Sept. 27.
Intentionally vague: Representatives and Senators have their work cut out for them.
The nine-page tax reform draft is intentionally vague, both to allow policy wonks freedom to do their jobs and to hamper criticism with the rote answer "that's not yet determined."
That second goal hasn't worked so well in the last few days. Analysts on both sides, as well as politicians and policy groups, are having a field day with what-if tax reform scenarios.
We'll see if lawmakers have any more luck with their deadline to tax writers.
Tight time table: Some believe that if tax details are provided by Nov. 13, that will be enough time to get a tax overhaul enacted by the end of the year.
I am not one of those people.
True, the GOP-controlled Senate's budget resolution now means the upper chamber can pass tax reform under reconciliation rules. That's via a simple majority of all Republican "yeas," including the tie-breaking vice-presidential vote, without worrying about any Democratic support.
But as we saw with the three failed Affordable Care Act/Obamacare repeal votes, such a quest is not so simple. Or assured.
Some think Republicans will have a similarly difficult job of corralling enough members to get the necessary tax reform votes.
I am one of those people.
Increased deficit concerns: While the GOP leadership is willing to add to the country's deficit to achieve tax law changes, some members are not.
And the decade worth of $1.5 trillion added to our debt that some Republicans are ready to accept is, argue some, on the low side.
They discount White House arguments that the tax cuts will spur enough economic oomph to offset their price. Instead, they project the deficit will grow under this tax plan by between $2.2 trillion and $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years.
Conflicting tax cut goals: Then there are the messy changes that are mentioned in the framework.
It's one thing to say the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees "will work on additional measures to meaningfully reduce the tax burden" and quite another to get there.
Some of the ideas that have been floated — changes to tax-deferred workplace retirement plans and the loss of state and local tax deductions have been getting the most attention — will be staunchly opposed even by some Republicans.
Efforts to reduce or eliminate tax breaks have been tried in recent Congressional sessions. They failed then. Will this time be different?
It depends in large part on how all these disparate views are incorporated, or not, into any ultimate tax reform measure.
We'll get an idea of that synthesis on Nov. 13. If Congressional tax writers meet that deadline.

Running a freelance business is not always a bed of roses. When you work alone, your beliefs may strongly influence your business life. And that’s perfectly fine, as long as these thoughts accelerate, rather than limit your growth.
How to identify and cope with the limiting thought patterns? Have a look at these three major obstacles that may prevent your freelance business from succeeding:
1. Comparing your business to others
Playing the comparison game is pointless. There are thousands of freelancers and business owners who are doing great, but what you see in the media is only a tiny part of the whole picture. Most businesses talk only about their highlights and most freelancers show only their success moments. They probably won’t publish an article about failures and mistakes they did, nor will they post a picture with them showing how they lose money, customers, or good reputation.
If you compare yourself and your business with others, chances are you get stuck in the paralysis-analysis mode. Especially, when you compare yourself with people who started earlier than you, hence had more time to learn by doing or to gather more experience by making mistakes you’re probably exposed to now.
Every freelancer, every founder, or business owner comes from a different background, has different ideas, and is shaped by different people and environments. If there’s someone you admire, let their actions inspire you, rather than lead to negative comparisons. Find out what they did to overcome various obstacles, how they approached their marketing strategy, or who they collaborated with to achieve their goals. Treat their success stories as motivation and inspiration to grow your business.
2. Not leaving your comfort zone
You won’t grow if you don’t leave your comfort zone. It’s easy to stick to the most convenient choices, people, or ideas. There’s no risk, there’s no fear, there are no big failures. This is where stagnation begins. If you’re trying to reach a new goal, attract more customers or increase your profit, sooner or later you’ll have to enter an uncharted territory. Do something that scares you.
If you struggle with leaving your comfort zone, begin with baby steps. For example, if you’re afraid of presenting in front of a large audience, start from attending business events in your region. First ask questions during the Q&A sessions, then move on to presenting for small groups before upgrading to a bigger scene.
Another method is to focus on fun. Every challenge comes with a pleasant part. If you’re afraid of public speaking, but you enjoy sharing your knowledge, you can shift your focus to the sharing part. In this way, you’ll be able to push the intimidating factors (such as standing in front of a crowd) to the background. Always keep the benefits of leaving your comfort zone in mind to stay motivated, no matter what you do.
3. Taking your status quo for granted
As a freelancer or small business owner you’ve probably hit the wall many times. I certainly have. Every time I’m happy with my status quo, the ground begins to shake, forcing me to rethink my “I’m happy where I am” attitude.
“Everything flows and nothing abides”—said Heraclitus long time ago. That’s true also in the business life. Change is inevitable, so make sure you keep honing your professional skills, managing your potential risks, or building a cushion for slower times. Keep asking, searching, innovating, no matter how satisfied you are with your accomplishments.
To get rid of the overwhelming feeling that you can’t change anything in your business, you can challenge yourself to do something new every day. It can be as simple as talking to people from outside your closest group of co-workers, reading news from other industries, or going to an event not directly related to your work. If you meet someone who inspires you, ask what she or he does to keep growing and tweaking their services. Leave your bubble from time to time to gain a fresh perspective, express gratitude for what you have, and find ideas to grow.
Running a freelance business is like running a marathon. It has many ups and downs, but if you find an effective way to overcome your obstacles, you’ll have more energy to cherish the good moments.
What’s your biggest obstacle in growing your freelance business?

Proposal takes on 'historic
and complex' task
The move away from fee-for-service toward value-based medical care took a major step when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services put forward its new proposed rule in late April.
In a commentary about the proposal in a recent
JAMA issue, Dr. Jeffrey Clough of the Duke Clinical Research Institute and Dr. Mark McClellan, director of the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, urged physicians to understand the changes — and opportunities — arising from the new payment scheme in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
“Our aim in this commentary is to provide physicians with an overview of the options for participation in payment reform and quality improvement under MACRA. Their leadership is essential to the future of high-value health care,”
Clough told Duke Today.
This new proposal from CMS has was officially published in early May in the Federal Register and is entitled "Medicare Program; Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Incentive Under the Physician Fee Schedule, and Criteria for Physician-Focused Payment Models."
Although the new proposal takes on the "historic and complex" task of changing the way health care billing is done, the Duke authors advise that it still needs vital input. "The rule leaves many questions unsettled, including certainty about the best pathways forward for many types of physicians, and how much influence the reforms will have on quality of care and spending for Medicare beneficiaries," they noted in their
The bottom line of the changes is summed up in the four Components of the Composite Performance Score of the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System
Quality (50% Decreasing to 30% in 2021)
• Physicians must report on at least 6 quality measures, including 1 outcome measure if available, from an annually updated inventory (example outcome measures include functional improvement following surgery and depression remission).
Resource Use (10% Increasing to 30% in 2021)
• These measures will be calculated by CMS using claims, including 2 general measures that assess the total cost of care for beneficiaries during a year or surrounding a hospitalization, as well as 40 clinical episode measures, as a basis for rewarding efficient physicians.
Advancing Care Information (25%)
• This category replaces meaningful use measures on health information technology with fewer and more flexible reporting requirements intended to promote interoperability and data flow relevant to a physician’s practice, rather than electronic health record capabilities per se. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In a recent blog post, SmartD delved into the challenges associated with the introduction of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) into electrical systems. As a brief reminder, these challenges stem from the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), a fundamental aspect of VFD functionality. This waveform introduces complications such as voltage spikes, corona discharge, common mode voltage, and harmonic distortion.
To counteract these challenges, the industry has developed an array of filters. These filters aim to purify the signals generated by PWM, resulting in a more refined sinewave.
Different types of VFD filters
The filters used can be divided into 2 main categories : input and output filters. Let’s discuss the types of filters that we find in each of these categories and their impact on electrical systems
Line Reactors: These components act as safeguards against harmonic distortion and serve to protect both the VFD and the motor from voltage spikes.
Harmonic Filters: Tailored to mitigate harmonics, these filters play a critical role in reducing distortions. Their sizing may need adjustment when changes occur in the installation.
EMI/RFI Filters: Designed to mitigate electromagnetic noise, these filters play a crucial role in minimizing disruptions for surrounding equipment.
Sinewave Filters: These filters are engineered to filter out high-frequency components of the PWM waveform, resulting in a cleaner sinewave output. This, in turn, aids in reducing motor losses and enhancing overall efficiency.
Common Mode Chokes: These chokes play a pivotal role in reducing common mode noise and contribute to minimizing the stress on motor bearings caused by such noise.
dV/dt Filters: These specialized filters are strategically employed to diminish the rate at which the voltage changes in the motor winding. The application of dV/dt filters is instrumental in reducing motor insulation stress, ultimately extending the life of the motor.
The impact on the electrical system
However, the introduction of these filters is not without considerations: they address standard VFD drawbacks but they add others to the system
Added Cost: Implementing filters incurs additional expenses, encompassing both the purchase cost of the filters and potential modifications to accommodate them within the system.
Increased Complexity: The integration of filters contributes to system complexity, necessitating sophisticated control and monitoring mechanisms. This complexity may pose challenges during installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Additional Impedance: Certain filters, such as line reactors and input filters, introduce extra impedance. While this is often intentional for specific purposes, it can impact overall system efficiency.
Voltage Drop: Line reactors may induce a minor voltage drop, a factor that should be carefully considered for the system’s overall voltage stability.
Resonance Issues: Improperly configured harmonic filters can potentially lead to resonance issues within the system, amplifying certain frequencies and adversely affecting equipment and system stability.
Losses in Filter Components: Filters may introduce additional losses, such as heat or energy dissipation, potentially affecting the overall efficiency of the system.
Size and Footprint: Certain filters, particularly EMI/RFI and harmonic filters, may be bulky and require additional space for installation. This could pose challenges in applications with limited space.
It is imperative to conduct a thorough evaluation of the specific requirements of the electrical system. Careful consideration of the benefits against potential drawbacks is essential when contemplating the implementation of filters. A well-thought-out system design, sizing, and configuration are critical to minimizing these negative impacts.
A new alternative
In light of these considerations, their pursuit at SmartD is to present not just a mitigative solution but one that avoids introducing new challenges.
Enter the Clean Power VFD, an innovative approach that generates a pure sinewave using silicon carbide MOSFETs and incorporates filters directly within the VFD. This solution is designed to offer seamless and efficient operation without adding unnecessary complexities to the system.

Details are scarce, especially since this deal has yet to be made public, but it makes total sense. OnePlus is currently available through T-Mobile and Sprint, and with the company’s popularity among buyers still on the up and up in the US, it only makes sense for Verizon to want in on that action.
As for what this could mean for OnePlus, it’s major. When T-Mobile began selling OnePlus phones last year, the OEM reported US sales going up 249%. With Verizon being the largest wireless carrier in the US, OnePlus is in for some good times should their devices continue to be met with positivity.

Mother of two, Danica Bunch, was told that she may only have two years to live only a couple of days before Christmas in 2022, “When the nurse came to see me and broke down in tears, I asked her why she was crying, and she said she was overwhelmed with feeling for me as the diagnosis was so bad,” she says. Danica was wrongly diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
It wasn’t until early the following year that Danica was told that the nurse had mixed up her results with another patient’s and, while she still had breast cancer, her diagnosis was treatable.
Danica said that the timing of being (unknowingly) misdiagnosed was particularly challenging, “Any news at Christmas time is so hard, but over Christmas you also have services shutting down for the break.”
“That’s when I first called 13 11 20 and they were amazing!”
Over this time, Danica was waiting for a call from her hospital's social worker while at her son's tennis camp. The call never came as the team had forgotten to book her in. In her search for support in this tough time, Danica turned to Cancer Council’s 13 11 20 Information and Support line.
“That’s when I first called 13 11 20 and they were amazing! They really helped me with the practicalities and helped me reframe what was happening to get through Christmas. They just got it.”
Danica says she really appreciated that this phone number was the gateway to other services that Cancer Council offers for people affected by cancer and saysit was real support on every level, practically, emotionally and accessible.
Someone to talk to without judgement
Over Christmas and New Years, Danica called 13 11 20 three times. Her family were also hurting, and she didn’t want to burden them, so Danica found it helpful to be able to share her thoughts with someone without judgement.
The health professionals on the other side of the line also helped Danica work out the best way to talk about her cancer with her family. “I felt very heard and listened to,” she says
”The more we can support people to live in the now and with hope and not just the weight of cancer the better. Treatments are going so well and advancing, and people can live with cancer.”
How Danica learnt to understand her body
Danica says that she felt the weight of cliches and stigma around it, having breast cancer as a relatively young woman aged 42.
When she received a breast care pack from her hospital, Danica found that it didn’t suit her needs. By comparison, she says that “I found that Cancer Council was so modern in their approach and views, I found it really inclusive of everyone and all ages,” she says.
Danica says that every person's cancer is different, once she knew her cancer was treatable, she realised you need an understanding of how your body is going to take on everything. They were some of the messages she received; trust your body, learn your body and how it’s feeling, and be kind to yourself. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
VeriSign, the Registry Operator for the .COM domain, is increasing the annual registration price to 10.26 USD, exclusive of any other fee, including the ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee.
The wholesale price of .com domains was frozen by the U.S. government at $7.85 per year in 2012.
It didn't increase again until September 2021, when prices were increased annually: $8.39 in 2021, $8.97 in 2022, and $9.59 in 2023.
Then they increase to $10.26 on September 1, 2024.
Verisign has a contract with our mutual regulator ICANN to have .com pricing go up by about 7% in each of the last four years of its six-year contract renewal.
This year marks the final of those four years for the current contract.
So the price should be fixed at $10.26 for the next couple of years.
We do not have a plan to increase our price yet but it may come at a later date.
The 10.26 USD price Verisign charges is the price registrars like Dynu or Godaddy need to pay to register a .com for a given customer.
You may see many registrars offering a .com domain for cheap such as $5, they'd be losing money to register the domain name on your behalf and
will likely make it up by a higher service fee in related services such as hosting or support.
If you are considering purchasing a .COM domain name, we suggest that you do so before the price goes up.
If you own a .COM domain name and it is in active use, you should grasp the opportunity and renew it for a longer term to take advantage of the lower price.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this issue, feel free to leave your comment or

Kurukove, Treaty of
Kurukove, Treaty of. An agreement between the Polish government (represented by Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski) and the Cossacks (led by Mykhailo Doroshenko), concluded during the successful uprising of the Cossacks against the Poles led by Marko Zhmailo. The treaty was signed 5 November 1625 beside Lake Kurukove, near present-day Kremenchuk. The terms of the treaty were as follows: all the insurgents were granted amnesty; the list of registered Cossacks was increased to 6,000 men; those registered were to receive from the Polish crown an annual salary for service; and they retained the right to elect their leader. The Cossacks were forbidden to enter into relations with other countries or to undertake military campaigns against the Turks.

Many people are nervous about photography and using a camera, doubting their own creativity, or believing they need special equipment; but the technology within many smartphones is such that you can take some really brilliant shots just because you are in the right place and you have the right way of setting up the shot so that you capture a fleeting moment in time.
Going on holiday is a wonderful opportunity to relax and open our eyes to the world around us. In our increasingly frenetic lives being creative with a camera can be immensely soothing and absorbing. Standing and watching the waves rolling in, capturing little video clips that can be replayed later are all ways of taking the memory with you.
I have always loved photography; it is something that brings such joy whenever I see a shot that captures what was there in my imagination. This is mostly because I am shortsighted, so what I see in a distance is like viewing through a soft-focus lens, and when I view the shots it is always a surprise – sometimes good and sometimes not what I had imagined!
As well as opportunistic shots that just present themselves I often go to places with a photograph in mind.
It is often driven by the weather, if I am working and I look out of the window and notice a cloud formation or I can hear the wind blowing I know that as soon as I can take a break, it is worth taking a quick drive to the nearest stretch of water.
Or at the end of a day if I see a sunset building, whether it’s an urban landscape or near the coast, I want to be out there capturing it.
Many years ago I was in St Ives, Cornwall on the harbour front and just as the sun was setting, there was a sudden movement of people to the other side of the town; curious to see what was happening, I followed, only to be rewarded with the most amazing sunset off Porthmeor beach. As with many coastal locations, there are often spectacular sunsets, it is a photographer’s dream.
In these situations nature does the job for us, all you need to do is just point and shoot, whether you use a phone or a camera, the beauty just sings down the lens.
Images are around us all the time, but sometimes you need to think creatively about what would make the shot special. As mentioned above, certain shots are always spectacular and to a certain extent predictable, but looking for more unusual shots is when the fun begins.
Focusing in close, or using a macro lens, particularly in nature means that you showcase real beauty, for example, whether you have pots on a balcony or a bigger garden, or even when buying a bunch of flowers, these, in particular, can provide the most beautiful images.
If you are very still, even in your garden you may also be rewarded with beautiful shots, of birds, butterflies, bees, ladybirds, squirrels, dragonflies and other insects, which can reveal spectacular shots, particularly when you zoom in.
Having an eye for the unusual, or using apps can extend these opportunities and take what could be an ordinary shot and turn it into something completely different, for example, taking a photograph of a horse chestnut tree recently I played around with the image, and suddenly found myself with an unusual pattern.
In the colder weather, there can be some freak situations where freezing rain combined with snow creates the most amazing icicles on trees and shrubs in gardens. At the coast where normally the climate is quite mild icicles on rocks and snow on the beaches is something that is likely to be reproduced in Christmas cards and calendars!
If you are holidaying abroad you will have even more extensive opportunities to be creative with a camera, and what is interesting is how people often use the images from overseas to inspire them when they return home. One of the key themes in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the way that garden designers have used this inspiration when creating their gardens.
The growth of Instagram has provided a real opportunity for people to showcase their images, and friendship groups have developed where people share their passion for photography, gardening, the coast, and much more.
Photography and using a camera is the most wonderful activity, whether an amateur or professional if you keep your eyes open you can find the most amazing photo opportunities, whether at home or away.

Scott and his team are a respectful and professional asset to our community and provide superior customer service. We returned after a few days away and learned of several storms that passed through our area, some, we’re told were violent. We had a tremendous power surge that overrode the surge protector that Scott installed on our AC unit and damaged the computer board, among other utilities in our home. Scott talked me through some late evening remedies which partially fixed the AC. Shortly thereafter, Scott was at our home and confirmed the damage. Repairs were promptly made and sound advice on preventing a future occurrence with the installation of a surge protector on our electrical panel. Those residing in the Arizona Valley can appreciate having a dedicated AC team at their fingertips, particularly during our brutal summers. Thank you, again, to Scott and his team. We are fortunate to be connected with all of you.
Scott installed two brand new a/c units for us. He came out for a free estimate and sent over his estimate the next day. He covered all of our questions and steered us to units that would meet our goals and not just upsell to the highest cost units. He was fairly priced, very knowledgeable, and reliable. We have been super happy with the new Trane units and have had both of our post-install check ups. We highly recommend Scott for all of your hvac needs.
The owner was at my house within two hours of calling. 20 minutes later my AC was running again, better than before. It is obvious he knows what he is doing and is a seasoned professional. The prices were in line with the rest of the industry. Only person I will call for AC needs going forward.
We reached out to these guys a few years ago for a small electrical issue and I was so amazed with Scott’s honesty and that he did not take advantage of us because we just didn’t know about light switches. So I was very happy when I found the Co again for an AC/Heating issues and again as per their normal way complete honesty and great with the explanation of the problem. They are also going above and Bryon checking on possible manufacture warranty. My husband and I are so happy we can feel good giving our business to a local family owned and operated business
Scott came the morning he got our late night voicemail requesting service for our air conditioner that wasn’t turning on when it was 104 degrees at night and 116 day! Our A/C was up and running in no time! Thank you!

Vet techs play an integral role in any veterinary practice, working tirelessly on the frontlines alongside other members of the animal healthcare team to deliver gold-standard patient care.
In 2024, National Veterinary Technician Week takes place from October 13-19. It’s a celebration of the vet tech profession and an opportunity for practices to recognize and promote the valuable contributions vet techs make to the veterinary industry.
What is National Vet Tech Week 2024?
National Veterinary Technician Week is an annual celebration dedicated to vet techs. It was launched in 1993 by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians (NAVTA), a U.S.-based not-for-profit organization committed to advancing the profession of veterinary nursing through advocacy, awareness, and professional development.
The theme of National Vet Tech Week 2024 is Credentialed Veterinary Technicians Change Lives, which highlights the profound impact vet techs have on their patients, clients, colleagues, and communities.
Vet techs are essential members of the veterinary healthcare team, working alongside veterinarians to assist in medical procedures, educate pet owners, and contribute to the overall wellbeing of animals. National Veterinary Technician Week is a time to honor our vet techs and celebrate the expertise, compassion, and enthusiasm they bring to the practice every single day.
When is National Vet Tech Week?
National Veterinary Technician Week takes place in the third week of October each year. In 2024, National Veterinary Technician Week will be held from October 13-19.
Top 5 Vet Tech Week ideas
Looking for some creative ways to celebrate Veterinary Technician Week 2024? Below are five ideas to inject some fun into Vet Tech Week.
1. Recognize your vet techs 🙏
It’s easy to start taking people for granted in the hustle and bustle of daily veterinary life. During Veterinary Technician Week, take a moment to gather your team, reflect on some of your wins over the past few months, and thank your vet techs for everything they do. A team lunch or presenting your vet techs with a small gift card can also be a nice touch.
2. Have an awards night 🍾
Make your vet techs feel like the superstars they are by hosting a fun awards night at your vet clinic. Think of some tongue-in-cheek awards for your vet techs, print out some certificates, and give out some small gift bags to show your appreciation for all your hard-working vet techs.
3. Post on social media 💡
Show your vet techs some love by giving them a shout-out on social media! This could be a general appreciation post, or you could share a photo of your vet techs along with a short bio. You could also consider an educational post; the general public often isn’t familiar with what vet techs actually do, so Vet Tech Week could be a good opportunity to shed some light on their role and responsibilities in the clinic.
Check out this blog post for more social media ideas for veterinary practices.
4. Hold a pet parade 🐱🐶
Vet Tech Week doesn’t have to be a somber affair. Give your team’s canine friends the chance to strut their stuff by organizing a mini pet parade! Pick a theme, encourage both four-legged and two-legged participants to come in costume, and provide some light snacks, doggy treats, and refreshments.
5. Host a lunch and learn 🥪
If you’ve never held a lunch and learn, the concept is simple: a speaker - either internal or external - delivers a presentation on a topic that can add value to the personal and/or professional lives of your team. This can be a great way to celebrate Vet Tech Week while at the same time bringing the team together to share their skills and expertise.
From all of us here at ezyVet, we’d like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the vet techs out there. We know how challenging the job can be and we recognize the crucial role vet techs play in serving their patients, their clients, and their communities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Are you looking forward to holiday family gatherings or cringing at the thought? We all have those family members and close friends who are far from God, the ones who it seems like anything you say or do bounces off their hearts with no affect. With the holidays approaching, you may be wondering how your family gatherings will turn out this year.
I’ve been watching a TV show and in a moment of heartache, the female lead stated, “Maybe love isn’t enough.” Everything in me wanted to immediately reply. “Love is enough! Love can conquer anything!”
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that love is not enough. God is enough. Our love is not enough to satisfy the deep cry planted in every person’s heart, the longing for purpose and reason for being. Only a relationship with the living God can fulfill that deep need. Our love can help a person find that experience, but our love is not enough. God is.
If you’re trying to love someone into God’s kingdom and you’ve grown frustrated at the lack of results or response – reconsider your approach and pray.
Pray them into the fulness of God. Pray them into the power and saving grace that comes from his hand. Your love will be a very necessary and critical element of their journey, but their saving will take supernatural intervention. As Jesus explained to Nicodemus in their late-night conversation about spiritual birth, “‘Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.’” (John 3:6 NLT)
Your mom or dad or brother or sister will never be able to grasp the things of God’s Spirit until their spiritual eyes are open. So before you head to your next holiday family gathering, pray for your loved ones:
And pray for yourself that you would be the embodiment of that love to them. (2 Corinthians 5:20) God has called you to be his ambassador in this earth, but that doesn’t mean that your love will save the lost. Your love is important, but God is enough. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Data Adjustments for Model Development
Model development began with the identification of enterprise budgets that were consistent with those found in each of the regions (PCU, 2002), Table 2). For example sorghum/millet/cowpea enterprise budgets were included in the North West and North East regional models, but not in the models of the North Central, South East, South South and South West.
The resulting regional enterprise budgets had to be adjusted to reflect regional differences. For example, enterprise budget labour costs were adjusted by an index of regional labour costs. We calculated these latter indices. Data on published labour rates for different agricultural activities for each state (PCU, 2002), Table 22) were averaged for each region and then expressed as an index of the calculated national average labour cost.
Enterprise budget crop yields and selling price were replaced by the calculated regional crop yields and selling prices. Regional crop yields were calculated from data obtained while visiting PCU. Regional prices were calculated from data provided by IITAs Rural Sector Enhancement Programme (RUSEP). The above-mentioned formed the core technical and objective coefficients for the regional models.
Regional land constraints were determined as the average of land normally devoted to the crops in the regional models. The regional land constraint was calculated from the data used to calculate regional crop yields. Regional producer food consumption was calculated from multiplying estimates of the percentage of farm production consumed on the farm (RTEP, 1995) by the regional estimate of regional production. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It’s no secret that data science jobs are hot, specifically in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The big players like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Airbnb are driving this charge, as well as the fast-paced new kids on the block that experience exponential growth in just a few years.
Artificial Intelligence – What exactly is it?
When 600 executives were surveyed by IFS 90% of them voiced plans to implement Artificial Intelligence into their operations. While the term is often used to describe automation, A.I. centers on machine learning, the ability for a machine or program to independently perform data-driven analysis and the related corresponding actions that a human’s logic, or intelligence, is typically relied upon to do. There is not a single industry out there that won’t be impacted by A.I. over time. And it’s happening now.
Careers in A.I
The broad range of industries that stand to benefit from A.I. equates to a broad range of opportunities for candidates seeking to enter this field. From descriptive data analytics roles to predictive and prescriptive analytics.
We always say everyone can have a career in the data world, but many companies are currently spending a lot of time looking at people in roles where IT is creating solutions centered around their business processes, a focus on automation, and making data both accessible. Not every company will have a role that screams A.I., but there are some roles tied to automation and data analytics that will be relied on heavily to lead the charge on that front. This includes Business Process Managers, Business Solution Architects, Data Analysts, BI Developers and Database Developers, Cloud Architects, DevOps, Software Engineers, Data Scientists and more.
The list of potential roles could go on and on (ex. Application Support Specialist, Systems Engineer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, etc.), but if you’re looking for a trend, it is this: holistic, collaborative, solutions-oriented, data-driven professionals will do well.
One of the most important contributors to success for the new A.I. workforce will be a near fanatical obsession with continuous learning. The field is changing rapidly and shows no signs of slowing down. It’s an exciting space to watch. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
While searching for an answer to the question - How to open the EBC file? - you probably found websites, which offer software that was able to open any file extension. Do not be fooled, there is no one program that will allow you to work with any file extension, including the EBC file. Each program contains a different type of data and you need specialized software to properly work with the EBC file. Here is a list of programs that are designed to work with the EBC file - remember, these applications are able to open at most a few file extensions, they are designed to work with a specific data type.
File type | MediaBASIC Compiled Project |
Developer | SourceForge.net |
Popularity | |
If after installing the program from a list, you still cannot open a file with the EBC extension, the reason may be that the file is damaged. The solution may be to find a new copy of the EBC file you want to open
In this case, the easiest way is to use the tool built into the operating system for association of the EBC file with applications to support it. Double click on the file you cannot open - the operating system will display a list of programs that are likely to work with your EBC file. Choose one of them, or select the location on a disk where you installed one of the applications from our list. Windows should then open the EBC file using the program installed earlier.
Entries containing links of the EBC file extensions with applications is located in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. If you do not know how to get to the Windows Registry, or how to make changes in it, ask a specialist for help. Lack of knowledge on the subject may cause irreversible changes on your computer.
There may be a situation when a computer virus passes itself off as the EBC file. In this case, such a file will definitely not be opened. Download a good antivirus program and scan the EBC file mentioned. If the antivirus application detects malicious data, it may signify that the EBC file is infected.

Most homeowners know the common telltale signs of a damaged roof, but not everyone knows when to schedule inspections or repairs for their roof. First Out Roofing is dedicated to quality repairs and customer service, and we understand the ins-and-outs of roofing better than anyone else. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to the most common roofing problems, how bad they really are, and what to do when you notice them in your home.
Water Spots on Your Ceiling
These spots might be small, but they’re indicative of a much larger problem with your roof. By the time you see water spots on your roof, the leak that caused them has already hit an advanced stage, and it’s leaking enough water to saturate your insulation and spread down to your ceiling. This kind of advanced leak can actually be hard to find and repair, since the place the spots first show usually isn’t where the leak actually is. These water spots don’t always mean there’s a leak in your roof, but it’s better to treat the problem as a leak until you know for sure. If you notice water spots on your ceiling, we recommend calling and scheduling an inspection right away.
If you notice any dark, patchy areas on your roof that don’t match their surroundings, this might be caused by missing shingles. Shingles can fall off your roof if they’re regularly hit by any surrounding tree branches. They can also be knocked loose by small animals running across your roof, but the most common cause for missing shingles is age. When shingles are installed, the bottom of every shingle is coated with a sealant. As time goes on, the sun dries the shingles and makes them brittle, which causes the sealant to fail and shingles to come loose. Missing shingles could mean your roof needs some serious work. Call and schedule an inspection as soon as you notice a missing shingle on your roof.
Granules in Your Downspout
If your roof is brand new, granules in your downspout are normal. Your new shingles probably have some excess granules being washed away by the rain, and there’s no need to be concerned. If your roof is old, too many granules in your downspout might mean the roof needs to be replaced. As shingles age, the sun and rain and heat can make them brittle, and the rain will wear them down even more, causing granules to appear in your downspout. If you notice this issue, it’s time to call for an inspection and consider replacing your shingles.
