Yes! It is finally time for part two of the mint comparison series! You can find part 1, where I compare the crèmes, over here. I have to admit, it is quite fun to dig through my own stash and look at what comes up! I found 4 mint shimmers in my collection that I […]
When I was just getting into nail polish, I loved reading huge comparison posts, and I decided that if I ever would start my own nail polish blog, I would be doing these types of posts all the time. I never realized how much work these types of posts were until I tried making one!
No this is not a clickbait, this is actually real! 4 years ago (time flies!) I wrote a blogpost about possible Essie Fiji dupes (over here). It is still my most read post ever! Every day people are reading that post. When I wrote it I was completely obsessed by Essie Fiji. Back then Fiji
OK, I am a bit ashamed to admit that this polish has been in my stash for two years without me properly reviewing it. I already had worn it a couple of times but I never reviewed it. So guess what! This week it was time to finally do that. Essie – Zip me up
Hello Everyone! I am a little bit late with this review. It is almost a year ago that I bought 4 out of 6 polishes from Essie’s Spring 2019 collection. I’ve already shown you Pinkies out. However, the others ended up in a drawer after I tried them quickly. After that, I didn’t have much | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
My kitchen garden is my happy place. It’s my baby. I’m drawn to open the picketed gate every day. Not because I have to check on it, but because I want to. I’m enchanted by the magic of putting seeds into the earth and growing plants. I look forward to seeing how things are coming along. Early summer is the time I can really see the results of the many hours, elbow grease and tablets of ibuprofen that went into prepping and planting it just a few short months ago.
My roughly 20 x 40 foot white picket fenced piece of heaven, is planted with a combination of annuals and perennials. The new vegetable plants and herbs are neat, orderly and linear. The mature plants, like my raspberries, currants, chives and mint, live a more gregarious life in the garden, adding a bit of a wild, freeform style to the mix. I love how they co-exist and look together.
Currently, the garden is growing like CRAZY, (I swear my basil grew 5-inches taller over the weekend!) thanks to the hot temperatures we’ve been having combined with the delivery of some much needed rain. Peeking out from under the leaves of the squash plants, I see gorgeous school bus yellow blossoms. The tiny, pale yellow flowers attached to the hairy stems of my tomato plants are starting to fall off, and little itty-bitty tomatoes are beginning to develop. I adore the licorice-like scent of the sweet basil when I brush by on my way to pick a few warm, ripe, juicy raspberries. The ruffled lettuces are thriving, and I just love the variety of textures of the rows of mixed mesclun greens and arugula. Everything looks so promising.
Here’s a list of what’s growing beautifully in my kitchen garden:
Mesclun Mix Greens
Lettuces – Red leaf, Green leaf, Romaine and Bibb
Potatoes (they’re rogue potatoes from last year!)
Raspberries – Red and yellow (yellow will be ready to feast on late summer)
Tomatoes – Heirloom varieties, as well as black, red, orange, and yellow grape varieties
Peppers – Bell and frying
Squashes – Yellow, Longneck and Crooked Neck
Cukes – Perfect for pickling!
As much as I look forward to enjoying the produce payout, I sometimes don’t want to pick anything. I just want to appreciate this moment, when everything is hearty, thriving and gorgeous. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Water pressure is a vital part of your everyday life. We use water on a regular basis, and low water pressure can indicate issues that can cause significant damages to your home or business. North Shore Restore is here to help you better understand the causes and the damages that can occur in addition to low water pressure.
What Causes Water Losses and Low Water Pressure?
Leaky pipes can be a cause of low water pressure on your property. If your water pressure is significantly low, a leaky pipe could be the culprit. If this is the issue, you are not only wasting water, which will result in a higher water bill, but you most likely have water damages on your property.
Another problem of low water pressure could be a buildup of minerals in your plumbing lines; this is common with underground water lines. If this is the case, a certified plumber will need to clear the lines with the proper tools.
What Damages Could Occur?
The most common damage will be water damages from a leaky pipe. If this is the case, you likely have extensive water damages on your property. If the pipe has been leaking for a while, you could have structural rot, as well as mold growth. Both water damages and mold growth can be removed and restored by North Shore Restore. You will need a certified restoration company to remove water from the area, remove damaged materials, and remove any mold-damaged materials. Once the materials are removed, the area will need to be sanitized to ensure the mold does not continue to grow and breed.
If you have water losses in your home or business, call a professional to find the culprit. Low water pressure can cause lasting damages to your property. Water losses can become quite costly if the problem is not repaired in a timely manner. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
PKCS#11 with HSM Pool mode
If HSM Pool mode is enabled, the nShield PKCS #11 library exposes a single pool of HSMs and a single virtual slot for a fixed token with the label accelerator
This accelerator slot can be used to create module protected keys and to support session objects.
HSM Pool mode supports module protected keys but does not support token-protected keys. If your application only uses module protected keys, you can use HSM Pool mode as an alternative to using load-sharing mode. HSM Pool mode supports returning or adding a hardware security module to the pool without restarting the system.
Whether or not HSM Pool mode is enabled is determined by the state of the CKNFAST_HSM_POOL
In FIPS 140 Level 3 Security Worlds, keys cannot be created in HSM Pool mode, however keys created outside HSM Pool mode can be used in HSM Pool mode.
If a subset of the modules in the HSM pool fail, the nShield PKCS #11 library handles commands using the remaining modules. When a module fails, any cryptographic functions that were running on that module are restarted on one of the remaining modules. If all of the modules in the HSM pool fail, the nShield PKCS #11 library will return a PKCS #11 error.
If a failed module recovers and remains part of the Security World, it is automatically returned to the HSM Pool and the nShield PKCS #11 library can use it for new commands. If a new module is added to the system that is accessible to the host running the PKCS #11 application, then once the Security World has been loaded onto this HSM, then it is automatically added to the HSM Pool and the nShield PKCS #11 library can use it for new commands. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
- class rubin.nublado.authenticator.GafaelfawrAuthenticator(**kwargs)¶
JupyterHub authenticator using Gafaelfawr headers.
Rather than implement any authentication logic inside of JupyterHub, authentication is done via an
handler made by the NGINX ingress controller. JupyterHub then only needs to read the authentication results from the headers of the incoming request.Normally, the authentication flow for JupyterHub is to send the user to
and display a login form. The submitted values to the form are then passed to theauthenticate
method of the authenticator, which is responsible for returning authentication information for the user. That information is then stored in an authentication session and the user is redirected to whatever page they were trying to go to.We however do not want to display an interactive form, since the authentication information is already present in the headers. We just need JupyterHub to read it.
The documented way to do this is to register a custom login handler on a new route not otherwise used by JupyterHub, and then enable the
setting on the configured authenticator. This setting tells the built-in login page to, instead of presenting a login form, redirect the user to whatever URL is returned bylogin_url
. In our case, this will be/hub/gafaelfawr/login
. This simple handler will read the token from the header, retrieve its metadata, create the session and cookie, and then make the same redirect call the login form handler would normally have made after theauthenticate
method returned.In this model, the
method is not used, since the login handler never receives a form submission.Notes
A possible alternative implementation that seems to be supported by the JupyterHub code would be to not override
, and then overrideget_authenticated_user
in the authenticator to read authentication information directly from the request headers. It looks like an authenticator configured in that way would authenticate the user “in place” in the handler of whatever page the user first went to, without any redirects. This would be slightly more efficient and the code appears to handle it, but the current documentation (as of 1.5.0) explicitly says to not overrideget_authenticated_user
.This implementation therefore takes the well-documented path of a new handler and a redirect from the built-in login handler, on the theory that a few extra redirects is a small price to pay for staying within the supported and expected interface.
(handler, data)Login form authenticator.
(app)Register the header-only login and the logout handlers.
(base_url)Override the login URL.
(user[, handler])Optionally refresh the user's token.
- async authenticate(handler, data)¶
Login form authenticator.
This is not used in our authentication scheme.
Register the header-only login and the logout handlers.
Override the login URL.
This must be changed to something other than
to trigger correct behavior whenauto_login
is set to true (as it is in our case).
- async refresh_user(user, handler=None)¶
Optionally refresh the user’s token.
- Return type:
tornado.web.HTTPError – Raised with a 401 error if the username does not match our current auth state, since JupyterHub does not support changing users during refresh. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Of all the Swedes in the Detroit Red Wings pipeline, the giant Elmer Soderblom is the most imposing. But what else does he bring to the table besides his towering frame?
Frolunda J-20 (SHL Juniors)
Games played: 4
Games played: 28
Games played: 5
Soderblom is a member of a Swedish organization Red Wings fans should be accustomed to at this point – Frolunda. Soderblom made his way out of the juniors and on to the main roster this season, playing in 28 games as a pro. In this 28 games, Soderblom scored three goals and added a couple assists.
Soderblom’s 6-foot-8 frame is quite easy to spot on tape. For his size, Soderblom is actually a decent skater. However, he “makes his money” as a winger at the net; either blitzing opposing goaltenders straight from the blueline or patiently setting screens waiting for high-danger chances. Once he has the puck, Soderblom uses his deceptively quick hands to force a shot.
Obviously, with his size, Soderblom also likes to throw big hits. Although he’s not really quick enough to be truly effective defensively, his imposing figure can be enough to slow down opponents and/or close down offensive lanes.
Soderblom still needs plenty of work. He has the raw talent to make it in the NHL: massive frame, soft hands/great stickhandling and decent agility (for his size). The problem is, at this point in his development, he’s pretty one dimensional. Although his size certainly makes it difficult, opponents can mute Soderblom’s affect on the game by blocking offensive lanes, ensuring that he doesn’t have opportunity to drive straight to the net.
This year will certainly be an interesting one in Frolunda, as Soderblom will join fellow Detroit prospects Simon Edvinsson and Liam Dower Nilsson in the organization. It will also be an important year in Soderblom’s development with the team, as it’ll be his first full season in the pros.
When Soderblom makes it to North America, he’ll probably need some time in the AHL to adjust before heading to the Red Wings – keep in mind, he’s a former sixth-round draft pick. The NHL is quick and full of elite players, Soderblom can’t come into the league as a one-trick pony. But the talent is there, and there’s a chance Detroit fans will get to see Soderblom on the main roster at some point – but it’ll be a while. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Alright, listen up, folks. We know that working from home is a reality for many of us, and let’s be honest, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. We’ve all had our fair share of struggles with setting up a home office that actually makes us want to get work done. But fear not, my dear readers, for I’m here to provide you with some practical tips for creating a home office that’s not only functional but also stylish as hell.
First things first, let’s talk about the furniture. Your desk and chair are the bread and butter of your home office, so don’t skimp on them. You don’t want to be hunched over a rickety old desk that’s seen better days, do you? Of course not. Invest in something sturdy and stylish, like a sleek mid-century modern desk or a chic glass-top option.
And speaking of chairs, don’t settle for some boring old office chair that looks like it was plucked straight out of a cubicle farm. Opt for something with a bit more pizzazz, like a velvet tufted chair or a trendy ergonomic option that’ll make your back feel like it’s on vacation.
Next up, let’s talk lighting. Natural light is great, but let’s be real, not all of us have the luxury of a big ol’ window in our home office. That’s where lighting fixtures come in. Choose something that provides ample light but also adds a bit of style to the room. A cool pendant light or a chic desk lamp can make all the difference.
Now, let’s talk decor. Your home office doesn’t have to look like a boring, sterile space straight out of “The Office.” Add some personality to the room with some artwork or a statement piece, like a funky area rug or a bold accent wall.
And last but not least, don’t forget about storage. A cluttered workspace is the enemy of productivity, so make sure you have ample storage options to keep your desk tidy. A stylish bookshelf or a sleek filing cabinet can go a long way in keeping you organized and on top of your game.
So there you have it, folks. Follow these tips, and you’ll have a home office that’s not only functional but also a space you’ll actually want to spend time in. And who knows, you might even find yourself looking forward to those Zoom meetings (okay, probably not, but we can dream, right?). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Teaching approaches: Reasoning, justifying, convincing and proof
Handling Data | Olympic Records | |
Can you deduce which Olympic athletics events are represented by the graphs? This lesson idea is about reasoning, justifying, convincing and proof(ta).
The collection of NRICH activities are designed to develop students capacity to work as a mathematician. Exploring, questioning, working systematically, visualising, conjecturing, explaining, generalising, justifying, proving are all at the heart of mathematical thinking. This particular resource has been adapted from an original NRICH resource. NRICH promotes the learning of mathematics through problem solving. NRICH provides engaging problems, linked to the curriculum, with support for teachers in the classroom. Working on these problems will introduce students to key mathematical process skills. They offer students an opportunity to learn by exploring, noticing structure and discussing their insights, which in turn can lead to conjecturing, explaining, generalising, convincing and proof. The Teachers’ Notes provided focus on the pedagogical implications of teaching a curriculum that aims to provoke mathematical thinking. They assume that teachers will aim to do for students only what they cannot yet do for themselves. As a teacher, consider how this particular lesson idea can provoke mathematical thinking. How can you support students' exploration? How can you support conjecturing, explaining, generalising, convincing and proof?. | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you were to travel 500 miles on foot in a foreign country, what items would you bring in your backpack?
Reverend Anne Gardner, director of the Chapel at Phillips Andover in Massachusetts, who presented St. Joseph’s College’s annual Founders Day lecture, was faced with that excruciating decision eight years ago when she took her pilgrimage across the famous Camino de Santiago in Spain – a nearly 500-mile journey across northern Spain that leads to Santiago de Compostela, where the remains of St. James were discovered in the ninth century.
“Just prior to our trip the five of us got together to sort through what we knew we needed to take,” said Gardner, who went on the pilgrimage with a group of co-workers and students. “There were certain essential items we all knew we needed: our backpacks, a sleeping bag, and of course our clothing.”
But on a nearly 40-day hike, there were other items that she wanted to bring and couldn’t – such as clothes, a scarf, jacket, towel, glasses, a cellphone, medical supplies, binoculars, toilet paper and a pillow.
Gardner made large cuts to her backpack’s contents for the trip. She explained that experts recommend a hiking backpack should be no more than 10 percent of its carrier’s weight. Therefore, a 150-pound person should look to bring a 15-pound backpack.
That’s not all: experts also recommend reserving eight pounds of the bag for water to stay hydrated—leaving only seven pounds for personal belongings.
Gardner ultimately only packed one luxury item to give her comfort on the trip: 40 pieces of Bazooka bubble gum.
“The lesson of my backpack wasn’t to ascertain what I needed to take,” Gardner said. “It was to discern how to be free of the things I needed to leave behind.
“Nearly every pilgrim I met brought too much, and straining under the weight would abandon items, even valuable ones, during moments of discomfort or fatigue,” Gardner continued. “That’s what I needed to do, as well.”
Reflecting on the Pilgrimage
During the pilgrimage, Gardner attempted a task even more difficult than trimming down the items in her backpack: letting go of things that were surreptitiously weighing her down. As she walked down the trail, she reflected on the unhealthy aspects in her life that were holding her back—including bad habits, toxic relationships and grudges she held.
Gardner is penning a memoir about the spiritual, emotional and physical challenges of her pilgrimage.
Dr. Michael J. Hanophy, Ph.D., said he was happy to invite his former college classmate to speak at Founder’s Day, the celebration of the 102nd anniversary of SJC, citing her myriad of accomplishments, in addition to the pilgrimage. Gardner’s resume boasts a year of volunteering for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, known as JVC, where she spent a year at a Montana-based shelter for abused women and children, and employment later on as a social worker to continue helping people with their struggles.
Gardner’s lesson follows suit with the mission of the College that the Sisters of St. Joseph’s established more than a century ago: to prepare each student for a life characterized by integrity, intellectual and spiritual values, social responsibility and service.
“Over the course of those 500 miles, I tried to remember that life is a journey of faith,” Gardner said. “My backpack proved to be a very telling commentary of all the things I thought I needed. Only to learn, that even in the most challenging of circumstances, most of the things that I carry are unnecessary.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Securities fraud is a serious financial crime that can have devastating effects on both individual investors and the broader financial market. It involves the intentional misrepresentation or omission of important information related to securities (stocks, bonds, etc.) that can influence investment decisions. Investors who fall victim to securities fraud may suffer significant financial losses, and those responsible can face criminal charges, civil penalties, and reputational damage. In such cases, a securities fraud lawyer plays a critical role in protecting the rights of investors and ensuring that those guilty of fraudulent activities are held accountable.
What is Securities Fraud?
Securities fraud encompasses a wide range of illegal activities in the securities market. This includes insider trading, misleading financial statements, Ponzi schemes, stock manipulation, and other deceptive practices. The aim is typically to deceive investors and manipulate the value of stocks or bonds to gain a financial advantage.
For example, insider trading involves individuals using non-public, material information about a company to buy or sell its stocks, giving them an unfair advantage over other investors. Similarly, a company might deliberately falsify its earnings securities fraud lawyer reports to inflate the value of its stock, misleading investors into making decisions based on false information. When such schemes are exposed, the damage to investors can be immense, leading to potential lawsuits, regulatory investigations, and criminal prosecution.
The Role of a Securities Fraud Lawyer
A securities fraud lawyer is a legal professional specializing in defending individuals or entities accused of securities fraud, as well as helping victims recover their losses. They play two primary roles: advocating for clients who are victims of fraud and defending clients accused of committing fraud.
- For Victims of Securities Fraud:When an investor becomes a victim of securities fraud, they may seek legal recourse to recover the financial losses they incurred due to fraudulent activities. A securities fraud lawyer helps these individuals understand their legal rights, guides them through the legal process, and works to secure compensation. This could involve filing a lawsuit against the fraudulent party or seeking recovery through arbitration.
The lawyer may also help the victim file claims with regulatory bodies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). These organizations investigate claims of securities fraud and may impose penalties, fines, or sanctions on the wrongdoers.
- For Defendants in Securities Fraud Cases:A securities fraud lawyer also defends individuals or companies accused of fraud. Defendants in securities fraud cases can face serious penalties, including imprisonment, hefty fines, and a damaged reputation. A skilled securities fraud attorney will work to prove that the accused did not intentionally mislead investors or violate securities laws.
The lawyer will review all available evidence, including financial records, communications, and transaction histories, to build a strong defense. They may also negotiate settlements with regulatory agencies, such as the SEC, to reduce potential penalties.
Qualifications of a Securities Fraud Lawyer
Securities fraud lawyers typically have specialized knowledge of finance, accounting, and securities law. Many come from backgrounds in corporate law, criminal defense, or financial regulation, allowing them to understand the complexities of both the legal and financial aspects of securities fraud. In addition to these qualifications, they must have the skills to represent clients in both state and federal courts and deal with regulatory agencies such as the SEC or FINRA.
Whether representing victims or defending accused individuals, a securities fraud lawyer plays a crucial role in ensuring justice and fairness in the financial markets. Investors who believe they have been misled by fraudulent practices can rely on a securities fraud lawyer to help them navigate the complex legal system and recover their losses. Conversely, defendants facing securities fraud charges need a knowledgeable lawyer to protect their rights and prevent severe consequences. Given the complexity and stakes involved, working with an experienced securities fraud lawyer is vital for anyone involved in a securities-related dispute. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Botox in Cancun Mexico
Botox application reduces or eliminates wrinkles and visible lines on the face that appear due to muscle contractions that occur when laughing, getting angry, squinting, and practically any gesture we make hundreds of times, in just one day!
Additionally, Botulinum Toxin Application is not limited to aesthetic procedures; bruxism, hyperhidrosis, and migraine are some medical conditions that can be treated with this product and the benefits contribute to improving the quality of life of our patients.
How does the application of Botulinum Toxin work?
Cancun Botox Clinic
The effect of anti-wrinkle actions is to temporarily block the release of signals that stimulate the muscle to contract (acetylcholine), and in this way the movement of a muscle can be controlled, reduced or eliminated in a predictable and precise way, this property being used in the management of wrinkles and expression lines on the face (lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows and “crow’s feet” among others). It is a quick, safe and simple treatment, with minimal care necessary after its application and no more than the following 48 hours after it.
Once the areas to be treated have been determined, a fine needle is used to administer the Chemical Neuromodulator into the muscles that generate the expression lines. The procedure is not painful since we use vibration techniques and application of cold compresses in the region to be treated, so it does not require anesthesia.
The procedure is performed at our Clinic in Cancun and does not last more than half an hour. You do not need to interrupt your daily activities, you will only have to follow a few simple recommendations. You will be able to see the results 7 to 15 days after the application.
Softens glabellar lines by elevating the medial aspect of the brows and increasing the distance between the eyebrows. Lifts hyperkinetic lines on the chin for a chin-lengthening effect.
It is an intelligent neuromodeler with a double filtration formula, which removes unnecessary proteins from its formula, so that you get what is needed from it, helping to eliminate expression lines.
Modulating muscle relaxant, adapted for use in aesthetic treatments, relaxes the muscles involved in the formation of dynamic wrinkles for a relaxed and natural appearance. Indicated for the treatment of expression lines and axillary hyperhidrosis.
The most complete aesthetic medicine clinic in Cancun, one of the main tourist destinations in the world, located in the heart of the hotel zone.
We have high technology and highly trained personnel committed to maintaining high quality standards, always within a framework of professional integrity and human warmth to improve the quality of life of our patients. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Breastfeeding is a beautiful and essential aspect of early motherhood, providing infants with optimal nutrition and nurturing. As the journey of motherhood progresses, the time eventually comes to transition from breastfeeding to weaning. This transition is a significant milestone that involves introducing solid foods and gradually reducing breast milk intake. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of breastfeeding, the process of weaning, and how to navigate this transition while prioritizing your child’s health and growth.
The Benefits of Breastfeeding:
Breast milk is often referred to as “liquid gold” for its remarkable nutritional and immunological properties. It contains a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and antibodies that support a baby’s healthy growth and development. Breastfeeding offers several benefits:
Nutritional Superiority: Breast milk provides the ideal balance of nutrients that a baby needs during the first few months of life. It’s easily digestible and tailored to the baby’s changing nutritional requirements.
Immune Boost: Breast milk contains antibodies that help protect infants from infections and illnesses, contributing to a stronger immune system.
Bonding and Comfort: Breastfeeding fosters a strong emotional connection between mother and baby, promoting feelings of comfort, security, and love.
Brain Development: Breast milk contains essential fatty acids that support brain and cognitive development.
Digestive Health: Breast milk is gentle on a baby’s delicate digestive system, reducing the risk of digestive issues.
The Weaning Process:
Weaning marks the gradual shift from a milk-only diet to incorporating solid foods. The timing of weaning varies from baby to baby and can start as early as six months when babies begin to show signs of readiness for solids. Here’s how to approach the weaning process:
Introduce Solids Gradually: Start with single-ingredient, iron-rich foods like rice cereal, pureed vegetables, and fruits. Introduce one new food at a time, waiting a few days before introducing another to watch for any allergic reactions.
Maintain Breast Milk: Continue breastfeeding or providing formula while introducing solids. Breast milk or formula should remain the primary source of nutrition until around 12 months.
Listen to Your Baby: Pay attention to your baby’s cues and appetite. Gradually increase the quantity and variety of solids as your baby shows interest and readiness.
Create a Routine: Establish a feeding routine that includes breast milk/formula and solid foods. This helps babies develop healthy eating habits.
Offer a Balanced Diet: As your baby grows, gradually expand the variety of foods to provide a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products.
Be Patient: Weaning is a process that takes time. Some babies may embrace solids eagerly, while others might need more time to adjust.
Emotional Aspects of Weaning: Weaning is not just a physical transition; it’s an emotional one for both mother and baby. The bond created during breastfeeding is special, and weaning can bring mixed feelings. It’s important to approach weaning gently and provide comfort and reassurance during this time.
Breastfeeding and weaning are essential chapters in the journey of motherhood, nurturing a baby’s health and growth. The benefits of breastfeeding lay a strong foundation for a baby’s early development, and weaning introduces them to a diverse world of flavors and textures. By approaching weaning with patience, sensitivity, and attention to your baby’s needs, you can help create a positive transition while celebrating the milestones achieved along the way. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What is a type?
What is a primitive type?
All of the variables you have created so far in this course have been of type number. As you have seen, they can be manipulated mathematically in many different ways.
Variables of type number
can be either positive or negative. They can also be whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc) or decimals (1.4, 67.34, etc).
Beware of floating-point arithmetic!
Floating-point arithmetic can throw up really weird errors in all programming languages:
let integerCalculation = 1 + 2; // gives 3
let weirdCalculation = 0.1 + 0.2; // 0.3 expected, actual answer 0.30000000000000004
Where possible, use integer calculations instead (when calculating prices, for example, think in cents, not euros or dollars).
Booleans are the simplest of the primitive types: they hold the values true
. They are used in all sorts of cases: whether or not a user is signed in, a checkbox is checked, or a specific set of conditions are met.
Boolean variables hold one of two values: true
let userIsSignedIn = true;
let userIsAdmin = false;
String variables are enclosed in single or double quotes — '
let firstName = "Will";
let lastName = 'Alexander';
Strings can also be concatenated (one added to the end of another) using the +
let wholeName = firstName + ' ' + lastName; // value: "Will Alexander"
Practice using data types!
Head to CodePen Exercise P1CH3a and follow the instructions below to practice using three primitive types: numbers, strings, and booleans.
Now that you've helped complete the show component, it's time to work on an individual episode component. This component will show the title of the episode, its duration (in minutes), and whether or not the user has already watched the episode.
Create a variable called episodeTitle containing a string, and give your episode an exciting title.
Create a number variable called episodeDuration, and decide how long your episode is in minutes.
Finally, create a boolean variable called hasBeenWatched which states whether or not the user has already watched the episode.
Check if the component works as you would expect it to. Don't hesitate to modify your values and see if the behavior is what you expect.
Once you've given it a go, watch me code a solution and see how your approach compares. And here is a new CodePen with a solution to the exercice.
The moral of the story: be aware of the types of your variables, and in general, use constants where possible.
Other, more complex data types exist, and in the next chapter, we will start looking at a very useful one: objects.
, and Symbol
. You will come across the first two in this course, while symbols are beyond the scope. For more information, check out the MDN docs for types. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Circinus – Constellation Facts
Circinus is another relatively small constellation, in fact it comes in at the fourth smallest constellation in the night sky. It is located in the third quadrant of the Southern hemisphere and can be viewed specifically at latitudes between +30° and -90°. Its name is derived from the Latin language “the compass”; the tool used for drawing circles.
Circinus is 85th in overall size, covering an area of 93 square degrees. It is neighbors with the constellations of Apus, Centaurus, Lupus, Musca, Norma and Triangulum Australe. In addition, Circinus has no Messiers or meteor showers.
Circinus has three deep sky objects. Read on to discover some fascinating facts about these celestial wonders.
- Circinus Galaxy: located 13 million light-years away, this spiral galaxy has two rings inside of it produced by gas. One of the rings is notable for its star forming abilities. In addition, this galaxy has a black hole powered core.
- Circinus X-1: known for being an X-ray double star, this deep space object is made up of a neutron star and a sequence star in which the neutron orbits the sequence star.
- NGC 5315: this planetary nebula was created (as all planetary nebulae are) by a star casting off its outer layers in the final stages of its life.
The constellation Circinus consists of only four main stars that makes up its shape. Let’s explore them further.
- Alpha Circini is the brightest star in the Circinus constellation (which will be discussed later in detail).
- Beta Circini comes in at the second brightest star in Circinus and is made up of a main sequence star. It is located about 97 light-years from Earth.
- Gamma Circini is a binary star made up of two blue and yellow stars.
- HD 129445 is a star with a planet in its orbit (HD 129445 b). It is located 220 light-years away.
Most Shining Star
Out of all the stars that make up the Circinus constellation, none shine brighter than Alpha Circini. It is situated an estimated 53.5 light-years away and is made up of two components. It is a visual binary with a dimmer companion and classified as a rapidly oscillating Ap star.
Mythology & History
Although the Circinus constellation has no mythology surrounding it, it does have a story. This constellation came to be by a French astronomer by the name of Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. He created “Le Compass” to fill the void in the sky between Triangulum Australe (depicted as a surveyor’s level) and other constellations.
Circinus is a fascinating constellation, so the next time you are gazing into the night sky be sure to search out this intriguing figuration of stars. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Rick and Melissa are a wonderful couple and we would welcome them anytime. From the moment we started chatting via THS; WhatsApp and email we knew Rommel and Keisha were going to have some good friends to stay. We were sent photos throughout our time away and it was clear everyone was having fun. The house was spotless when we got back and the dogs were sort of pleased to see us, but I think they miss Rick and Melissa!! We’re so pleased that they explored the area whilst they were here and really hope we’re going to stay in touch. We highly recommend them as pet sitters – If we could give them 10 stars, we would. Thank you both.
Simply brilliant. Pre-sit we spoke to confirm all dates, any special requirements etc so we knew everything would go according to plan. During the sit we got regular feedback and updates (pictures etc) of the sit and a great handover at the end. Animals loved Rick and Melissa, house was spotless and you can’t really ask for more.
Thank you so much Rick and Melissa for looking after Lottie and Millie so beautifully. It is so lovely to return home to such happy animals and house that was as neat as a pin. Great housesitters.
We were thrilled to have Rick and Melissa back to house and animal sit for us a second time this year. They did such a good job both last and this time, we can’t recommend them highly enough. This summer, they coped efficiently with a donkey going lame and struck a perfect balance between keeping us well informed and not worrying us too much – which is not always easy! We came home to an immaculate house and some very happy cats, donkeys and hens. We love Rick and Melissa – they are perfect housesitters!
Should Rick and Melissa apply to house sit for you, snap them up quickly! Of all the many house sitters we’ve had over the years, this lovely couple were easily the most reliable, conscientious and trouble-free sitters we’ve had. They were super flexible and worked around our departure and arrival times – always a huge help when you’re traveling with kids. Communication with them was easy from the start: they asked what was needed, but didn’t burden us with unnecessary questions, they simply got on with things and sent us positive messages, so we knew things at home were fine. They immediately bonded with our dog and two naughty cats and you can tell they are real animal lovers. They weren’t phased by mucking out donkeys and chickens every day and they left the field shelter and chicken coop in a beautiful condition. We returned to a super clean and tidy house, fresh flowers throughout the house, fresh bread and milk for us in the fridge and some very happy animals. We would love them to house sit for us every time!
We were very lucky in having Rick and Melissa take up our request for house sitters. They are a delightful, fun couple capable of dealing with things outside the box. The star rating below says it all. We knew before we left that we had a reliable couple. They coped with bad weather which we could not predict and two escapologist donkeys, for which we are truly sorry, but they took it in their stride and we returned to very contented dogs and donks. We would welcome them both back should they wish to come this way again and have no hesitation in recommending them as your future house sitters. Good luck Rick and Melissa and many thanks for making our trip a relaxed one.

So it is the end of another year and a new one will start tomorrow. Many people make resolutions or plans tied to the change of the calendar, and though this is good I don't readily subscribe to this process. When I wake up tomorrow I will still be the same person whom I am today. I will still have my family, the same hopes and dreams, the same struggles and fears. No matter what I will continue to strive to improve and grow, to strive to take care of my loved ones and to share with my network of friends on the various social media sites I frequent.
I want to take a quick moment to thank all of those who have posted on these social media sites either publicly or privately with such kind words. These were much appreciated and needed and helps keep things in perspective.
One thing that won't is my taking at least one photo a day. With today's entry's I complete 3 years of a project started December 31, 2010. Though there were days when it was a struggle and I came close to not getting an image I always found a subject to keep the ball rolling.
I shot both of these photo's with the Canon 7D and my 70-200mm lens. I saw the horror frost on the trees out the front windows and waited for the clouds and light to hit just right for the shot.
I then trained my lens on a metal bowl in the living room that the sun was just hitting at the right angle to bring out the texture. I like the abstract look and pattern on the bowl. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I developed an intuitive interface for music notation.
I created this to facilitate picking notes for the fingering chart apps, and have utilized it in most every app since.
The instinctive gesture of touching the staff seemed so natural, and then to slide right for sharp and left for flat was simply the next step.
To make it easier to choose sharps or flats, I decided that touching along the right or left side would be a natural progression to automatically set a sharp or flat note.
The formulas for manipulating the images of notes and accidentals has developed over time, becoming more versatile and streamlined with each implementation.
Twelve Tone introduced the ability to notate more than one note on the same staff. Up to twelve actually. So I had to isolate the controls for each note to its own area. This opened up more opportunities and I eventually incorporated it, and rhythmic values, into Woodshed to allow the creation of custom exercises. Implementing more complexity with rests, barlines, and pickup notes created Melody Composer. Note values and triplet figures automatically tie and extend over barlines. Notation should serve the music you want, not dictate it. There are limitations to Melody Composer, but it's a handy tool for composers.
Twelve Tone, Vocal Exercises and the Scales Lexicon apps all show the next stage in the animation of the notation. If a user could select a note, it's pretty obvious that I should be able to have the app select one. Let's just change the color and do it over and over in a rhythmic pattern. And while we're at it, let's do that to the piano as well.
Music Theory Intervals and Music Theory Chords were the next steps. There are specific notational rules when writing chords. The accidentals need to appear in a specific order and spacing from the note, or it just seems wrong. When the rules aren't followed, it's much more difficult to read and becomes something that's getting in the way of music rather than expressing it. I was a copyist all through college, back when people actually wrote out music with a fountain pen and india ink. Finale software was just starting and writing was still faster and easier. The wonderful Osmiroid 65. Well, I digress and date myself.
Correct notation is essential to conveying music and to display chords with ugly and disconnected accidentals was just not going to happen. An Fb diminished seventh chord is spelled with double and triple flats. Using enharmonics, it becomes a different chord. It may sound the same, but it's not an Fb diminished seventh. I guess I'm a theory geek, but these things are important to me. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Stories & Reflections
Ploughing the field
The moment the soil is turned, oxygen penetrates places it was unable to previously. This process of interior revolution is very important – because, just as the field’s new look will see sunlight for the first time, a new assessment of our values will allow us to see life innocently, without ingenuityA good creator must know how to continually turn over his values, and never be content with that which he/she believes he/she understands.
All work is the fruit of contact with life. He/she never knows, at the outset, which things will be important to him in the future, so the more intense his life is, the more possibilities he/she will create for an original language. If he/she tries to imitate or control his inspiration, he/she will never obtain that which he/she desires. He/she must allow his life to sow the fertile soil of his unconscious.
There is a time in which the work writes itself, freely, at the bottom of the author’s soul – before it dares show itself. The creator must respect the time of gestation, although he/she knows – just like the farmer – that he/she is only partially in control of his field; it is subject to drought and floods. But if he/she knows how to wait, the stronger plants, which can resist bad weather, will come to light with great force.
The moment when a person manifests on a conscious plane he/she sowed and allowed to grow. If he/she harvests early, the fruit is green, if he/she harvests late, the fruit is rotten. Every artist recognizes the arrival of this moment; although some aspects may not have matured fully, some ideas not be crystal clear, they reorganize themselves as the work is produced. Without fear and with great discipline, he/she understands that he/she must work from dawn to dusk, until the work is finished.
And what to do with the results of the harvest? Again, we look to Mother Nature: she shares everything with everyone. An artist who wishes to keep his work to himself, is not being fair with that which he/she received from the present moment, nor with the inheritance and teachings of his forefathers. If we leave the grain stored in the granary, it will go bad, even though it was harvested at the right time. When the harvest is over, the time comes to share, without fear or shame, your own soul. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Are you seeking ant control services in Gainesville?
Ants can be found all over Gainesville, and it’s likely you’ve already seen their nests in your yard. If those ants venture into your home and find food they like, soon you might have a whole colony of ants swarming inside your house. This is annoying and unsanitary, and some ant species pose additional threats. Aggressive fire ants possess a sting that many are allergic to and carpenter ants can cause widespread destruction to anything made of wood.
DIY methods and rudimentary ant sprays might be sufficient to kill a few ants but a whole colony will be much harder to get rid of. The only way to eradicate the entire ant colony that has been menacing your home in Gainesville is to employ a professional ant control company.
If you’re sick of ants invading your house in Gainesville, Pest Proof Pest Management will inspect your premises to see what ant species we’re dealing with, size up their numbers and find their nests. After collecting this data, our experts will customize a control strategy to eliminate the colony.
Incomplete ant extermination efforts can exacerbate your problem by causing the ant colony to divide into several different breeding colonies, increasing their numbers. Our team works with eco-safe treatments which we apply effectively to ensure that all of your problem ants are exterminated but no other animals are harmed.
There’s not much more revolting than walking into your kitchen to the sight of lines of ants raiding your pantries. Call up Pest Proof Pest Management today for the most efficient ant control services in the Gainesville area! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

While para-athletes from around the world are descending on Prince George this week, of our own is going the other way.
Joel Ewert is leaving today, en route to the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer where he will co-captain this province’s wheelchair basketball team. It will be his second Canada Winter Games, his first being right here in Prince George in front of a hometown crowd.
“I’m hoping to bring home a medal and hoping to have just as much fun as I did in Prince George, even though Red Deer has a lot to do to live to the experience here in Prince George,” he says.
Team BC finished seventh at the 2015 Canada Winter Games, so a medal would be awesome, even though they won’t be on home turf.
“Obviously Team BC won’t have the awesome support that we had in 2015 with everyone who came out,” he says. “We might have the crowd against us. Last time we tried to make the crowd excited, now we’re trying to silence the crowd so we can take home a medal.”
Ewert has been playing wheelchair basketball pretty much all his life. The 19-year-old has been competing in the sport for 14 years.
“Lots of time, lots of practice, lots of fun,” he says.
While he is focusing on Red Deer right now, he also looking to the future. After the Games he says he will take a little time off from basketball and focus on another sport where he has also set his sights high.
“The wheelchair rugby national team tryouts are coming up in March,” he says. “I’m going to take a little bit of time away from basketball after the Games and put a little more focus on rugby so I can crack the Canadian squad.”
As one might expect, wheelchair rugby has some contact but getting injured is a risk in both wheelchair basketball and rugby.
“There’s definite some contact in rugby,” he says. “There’s not as many rules around the contact, but the spills in basketball are often more violent. You’re going a little quicker because the chairs are lighter. They’re both definitely contact sports and not for the faint of heart.”
You learn how to take a spill, he says.
Ewert also has a tough training regimen that sees him in the gym twice a week to lift weights, then there is cardio training and basketball and rugby practices every week. And he’s on the road at competitions … spending eight of the first nine weekends of the year out of town.
“Somewhere in there I fit in some school,” says the UNBC bio-med student. “It’s been fun. I’m trying to balance it all. I’m definitely motivated to succeed in sports and in school. A lot of the things that sport has taught me I’ve been able to apply in school and vice versa.”
Ewert has been selected as the Brink Group of Companies Athlete of the Month and founder and CEO John Brink presented Ewert with $500 Monday to help with his trip to Red Deer.
“We want to compliment everyone for being such great athletes,” Brink told Ewert and his training team members. “There are three cornerstones to everything you do in life and you guys are perfect example of that … attitude, passion, and work ethic resulting in success.”
At only 19 years old, Ewert will still be eligible for the 2023 Canada Winter Games as well, so that will be a focus in the future too.
“I will continue to stay active and improve myself as an athlete,” he said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Here are a two studies of resting Laughing Gulls. In winter, they look quite a lot different from their summer (breeding) plumage mostly as they have lost the dark chocolate brown color on their heads. Also the bright red bill has darkened to black although some birds still have remnants of red. Still, I enjoy the mottled pattern of dark on the heads which varies from bird to bird. Here this bird is not very heavily marked.
This sleeping bird was part of a larger flock that I singled out to paint. I liked the subtle shadow on the breast which warmed and deepened as it crept under the belly. Also the shadow as it undulated over the uneven surface of the sand. Although it was a sunny day, all of them were facing into the cool stiff breeze - most birds do this. Both these watercolor studies were done in my sketchbook, sizes are about 6 x 9 inches. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS — Despite a bumpy ride to and from the event, Pinedale’s John Douglas slid into fourth place in his 1964 Cessna 182 at the 2024 Lonestar STOL and National Finals …
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS — Despite a bumpy ride to and from the event, Pinedale’s John Douglas slid into fourth place in his 1964 Cessna 182 at the 2024 Lonestar STOL and National Finals held Nov. 1-2 in Sulphur Springs Municipal Airport in Texas. The Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) aviation competition showcased pilots from all backgrounds as they demonstrated their skill and technique.
When Douglas and his wife Angela took off from the Ralph Wenz Field in Pinedale, Douglas was in fifth place, but his 81-point finish in the touring class on Nov. 2 bumped him up to a fourth-place overall finish for the season.
Pilots from all across the United States battled weather as they traveled to and from the event, explained Angela Douglas. Their departure was delayed by more than a day, which also meant missing practice for the finals. Flying through snow, heavy clouds, wind and sleet, John and Angela Douglas arrived in Sulphur Springs after six-and-a-half hours in the air. Some pilots from the East Coast weren’t able to make it.
On Friday, as Douglas was trying to squeeze in a little practice, the starter on his plane went out so he spent the rest of the day fixing the plane with help from the hosts, Legend Aircraft, supplying parts and tools.
Each of the finalists received an exclusive 2024 National STOL hat and sticker. “We especially enjoyed the camaraderie and the many positive comments from pilots about the great time they had at Rocky Mountain STOL and their excitement to return in 2025!” Angela Douglas said.
It took the pair two days of flying and waiting to fly to get back to Pinedale. They spent six hours in the air on Sunday and spent the night in Scottsbluff, Neb. After waiting for conditions to clear up on Monday, it took another three hours in the air to get home. Angela said other competing pilots endured even worse weather heading home. Joel Milloway from Black Foot Idaho arrived home on Nov. 9 after being stuck for a week in the snow in Albuquerque, NM.

As per insights from Jim Bowden, a CBS Sports insider, the Yankees are optimistic about Aaron Judge returning to the lineup by this weekend.
As the highly-anticipated Subway Series between the Yankees and the Mets approaches, all eyes are on Tampa, where Aaron Judge is making progress in his rehab. Recently, Aaron Boone disclosed on the “Talkin’ Yanks” podcast, that Judge will be focusing on building his tolerance, and to help with that, he’s slated to have another simulated game against teammate Jonathan Loaisiga, who is also rehabbing.
Before Tuesday’s game, Judge showcased his prowess by playing five innings in the field at the Yankees’ Tampa complex. Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed this development and expressed that he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of Judge making a return during the Orioles series.
Yankees’ Aaron Judge causes cancellation of doubleheader amid pitching needs
On Tuesday afternoon, Aaron Judge‘s presence at the Yankee complex in Tampa caused significant upheaval, leading to the cancellation of a scheduled doubleheader. According to John Bropy, the urgent demand for pitchers to participate in live batting practice necessitated the decision.
The unexpected turn of events highlighted the importance of having a robust pitching roster as the team grappled with the need to provide ample practice opportunities for their batters. Judge’s involvement at the complex played a crucial role in reshuffling the day’s plans and left fans eagerly awaiting updates on how this development might impact future games.
Aaron Boone provides the latest updates on Judge’s rehab
The Yankees manager, Aaron Boone expressed his optimism, saying, “I’ll get a report at the end of [Tuesday]. Loaisiga is heading [to Tampa] tonight. He’ll throw tomorrow against Judge… Good thing for Aaron it doesn’t get any tougher than [Loaisiga]. Only gets easier having to face right on righty Loaisiga…he looks great. He looked like playoff Lo.”
However, Judge’s return timeline remains uncertain, and Boone emphasized that they are taking it day-by-day. While Loaisiga is set to have a rehab game over the weekend, Judge’s situation is being closely monitored, and the Yankees skipper is not rushing him back.
“We’ll see how these next days go,” Boone stated, “if we’re at a point if [Baltimore or Tampa Bay] is at play or not.”
Certainly, the Yankees would love to have Judge back in action, especially for their upcoming series against the Orioles, Rays, and Astros. These games will be crucial as all three teams currently sit ahead of the Yankees in either the AL East or wild card standings, impacting the team’s quest for a playoff berth.
Since Judge suffered his right toe injury on June 2, the Yankees have faced some challenges, going 18-22 and finding themselves tied with the Red Sox for fourth place in the AL East, trailing by 2.5 games for a wild-card spot. The team eagerly awaits Judge’s return to boost their chances of turning the tide and making a strong playoff push.

When it comes to databases, one of the most important aspects is understanding the different data types that can be used to store information. In this video, we'll focus specifically on integers, the different types of columns that can hold integer values, and the ranges for each.
To demonstrate the different types of columns that can hold integer values, we'll be using a simple example: a books table. The table has an ID and a title, and we'll be defining the number of pages column. Before we can do that, however, we need to figure out the data type and any other attributes that are required.
There are five data types that can be used to store integers:
It's worth noting that any other types of integers that you come across are likely aliases, meaning that they're just different words that refer to the same data type. For example, "integer" is simply another word for "int".
Each data type for integers has different storage requirements, which means that they're able to store different amounts of data. Here are the ranges for each data type:
: Occupies one byte and can store values from 0 to 255 (or -128 to 127, if negative numbers are supported).SMALLINT
: Occupies two bytes and can store values from 0 to 65,535 (if negative numbers aren't supported).MEDIUMNINT
: Occupies three bytes and can store values from 0 to 16,777,215 (if negative numbers aren't supported).INT
: Occupies four bytes and can store values from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (if negative numbers aren't supported).BIGINT
: Occupies eight bytes and can store values from 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (if negative numbers aren't supported).
In databases, negative numbers are supported by dedicating one of the bits to the sign (either positive or negative), with the remaining bits reserved for the value. For example, a TINYINT
with negative numbers enabled has one bit dedicated to the sign and seven bits for the value, which means it can store values from -128 to 127.
For our books table, we'll be defining the number of pages column, which we expect will never exceed 65,000 pages. Given this, we don't need to use the INT
data type, which can hold up to 4.2 billion values. Instead, we can use the SMALLINT
data type, which occupies two bytes and can store values from 0 to 65,535.
However, we also need to specify that negative numbers aren't supported for this column. We can do this by adding the unsigned
keyword, which tells MySQL that we're not interested in negative numbers.
It's common to see something like INT(11)
and assume that the 11
controls the range of data that can be stored. However, the number in parentheses has no effect on the underlying storage or the range of the column. This notation was only ever intended to define a display width. It is deprecated and will be removed soon.
Understanding the different types of columns that can hold integer values and their respective ranges is crucial to designing a database schema that's both efficient and scalable. By selecting the appropriate data type for each column, we can avoid unnecessary storage requirements and ensure efficient queries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In this episode, host Pam Barnhill explains why homeschooling parents should not try to recreate a classroom environment in their homes. Drawing from her experience as a homeschooling mom and former public school teacher, Pam discusses the limitations and unnecessary structures often associated with traditional classrooms. She explores the freedom and flexibility inherent in homeschooling and encourages listeners to develop their unique structures and approaches that align with their family's needs. Pam also introduces the concept of a morning basket or morning time as an alternative to traditional classroom structures, highlighting its benefits for bringing families together to learn and grow.
1. Homeschooling allows for freedom and flexibility that traditional classrooms often lack.
2. Traditional classroom structures do not necessarily serve homeschooling families well.
3. Developing unique structures and approaches that work for your family is key in homeschooling.
4. Morning baskets or morning time can be a valuable alternative to traditional classroom structures, promoting family togetherness and shared learning experiences.
5. Letting go of age-segregated structures and preconceived notions about certain books and materials can enhance the homeschooling experience.

Illuvium has introduced the Illuvium Items Claim Page, an all-in-one platform allowing players to redeem exclusive in-game collectibles such as emotes, skins, badges, and more. The claim page offers players a streamlined experience to gather rewards earned through various promotions, sales, and events, enabling them to personalize their gameplay further. Over 95% of eligible rewards are currently available for players to redeem, marking an extensive rollout of cosmetics for the Illuvium universe.
Players can now redeem a range of items from multiple Illuvium promotions, including those from the Balancer Sale, Team Liquid Promotion, Beyond Wave Sales, GameStop Promotion, and more. Here’s an overview of some of the key items available on the claim page:
Players can also claim emotes earned through unique social media campaigns, Ascendant Christmas Promotions, and items for those who helped during the Testnet phase.
To claim items, players can visit the Items Claim Page on the Illuvium platform and connect their wallets. Items can be migrated from Layer 1 (L1) to Layer 2 (L2), which will allow them to be used within the Illuvium ecosystem. Although migration to L2 incurs gas fees, it enables full integration of items within the Illuvium universe, where players can showcase their collectibles in-game.
Steps to Claim Items:
The claim page also integrates with players’ Illuvium Passport wallets, ensuring that redeemed items are stored securely and easily accessible.
For those looking to expand their cosmetic collections, Illuvium has also introduced a time-limited Halloween bundle available in the Cosmetic Store. Additionally, more items, such as the Team Liquid Ranger Suit Skin and further Emote D1SKs, are expected to roll out in upcoming waves, providing ongoing options for players to customize their experience.

Workshops may be missing out on an opportunity to capture a share of the £100million a year that UK motorists are currently shelling out to repair car damage caused by the UK’s pothole-ravaged roads.
Autobutler.co.uk, the UK’s new quality-focused online servicing, maintenance and repair concept, could help garage businesses of all types to benefit from the opportunity to bid for pothole-related repair requests submitted by owners via the Autobutler website.
Clive Thorpe, Autobutler’s UK sales director, comments: “Pothole damage has become a real problem for Britain’s drivers. Although the Chancellor announced an extra £200million to fix potholes in the Budget, bringing roads up to a good standard isn’t going to happen overnight.
“The upshot is that motorists will continue to suffer, with potholes causing damage such as cracked wheels, failed tyres, broken suspension and poor alignment. The average cost of putting cars right after they’ve hit a pothole is more than £200, so garages have a great opportunity to win extra work from drivers who turn to Autobutler looking for a quick but high quality repair.”
Since 2010, Autobutler has created more than 135,000 genuine job opportunities for quality garages in Germany and Scandinavia. It is now investing more than £1million in its expansion into the UK servicing, maintenance and repair sector.
Workshops are invited to see how Autobutler.co.uk could help them turn potholes into profits by signing up for a three-month ‘try before you buy’ trial. Businesses interested in finding out more should call 0808 1682 048, email email@example.com or visit www.autobutler.co.uk. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Edible Education started out as a dream to take over school dinner halls and put on performative food surplus feasts cooked and served by students. I haven’t quite realised this dream (yet) but I did secured funding from David Tyler Trust, Awards for All, and Tudor Trust for my concept of an education project of anti-food waste organisation This is Rubbish.
I started the pilot programme in September, 2014 by bringing together educators, performers and food experts united by their passion for exciting and motivating education on food. You can see an overview of the successes, experiences and just how many banana muffins were baked in pilot of ‘The School Feast Learning Journey‘ here.
To my great fortune Mickey Reedy, trained early years educator, fabulous cook and ultimate food waste warrior, agreed to be my project partner and we are still developing Edible Education together today.
Edible Education offers:
London Borough of Waltham Forest and Veolia Haringey Environmental Education Department commissioned our programmes in 2015/2016.
Photos show the School Feast Learning Journey and a programme with young people from Lammas Secondary school. Their event ‘Don’t Waste’ won a UNEP award in the Think Eat Save challenge and the group went on to write and perform an inspiring rap which has received a great deal of attention.
It is the Edible Education mission to:
Our vision of success is:
To create a new norm in which people instinctively avoid food waste and act in the interests of the global community and the environment, understanding the true value of food. Through enjoyment and engagement, young people will regard a sustainable food system as a necessity and care about the interrelated, wider social and environmental issues the world is facing.

The Importance of Security in Self-Storage Facilities

Benefits of Climate Control in Storage Units
Climate-controlled storage units offer a range of benefits that can help ensure the preservation of your valuables. By maintaining a consistent temperature and humidity level, climate control helps prevent damage from extreme weather conditions such as heat, cold, and moisture.
When storing sensitive items like wooden furniture, electronics, or artwork, fluctuations in temperature and humidity can lead to warping, corrosion, or mold growth. With climate control, you can have peace of mind knowing that your belongings are shielded from these risks, preserving their quality and value for the long term.
Additionally, climate control can provide a more comfortable environment for you when accessing your storage unit. By keeping the temperature regulated, you can avoid discomfort caused by extreme heat or cold, making the process of retrieving or organizing your belongings a more pleasant experience.
Choosing the Right Self-Storage Facility
When searching for a self-storage facility, one of the key factors to consider is the level of security provided. It’s crucial to find a facility that offers robust security measures such as surveillance cameras, gated access, and on-site staff to ensure your items are well-protected at all times.
In addition to security, another important aspect to look for in a self-storage facility is climate control. Opting for a facility that offers climate-controlled units can help safeguard your belongings from extreme temperature fluctuations, humidity, and other environmental factors that could potentially damage them.
Furthermore, accessibility is a significant factor to weigh when selecting a self-storage facility. Choose a location that provides convenient access hours that align with your schedule, making it easier for you to retrieve or store items whenever needed. It’s important to select a facility that prioritizes accessibility to ensure a seamless storage experience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global public health problem. Nearly 257 million people worldwide have been infected with HBV, resulting in 887,000 people dying of cirrhosis or liver cancer caused by chronic hepatitis B (CHB) annually. Therefore, identification of new targets against HBV is urgently needed. Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have gained widespread attention in recent years due to their function in cancer, inflammation and other diseases. Notably, a growing number of lncRNAs have been found to play a role in HBV development. In the present study, we first identified a famous lncRNA, HOTAIR, which was significantly up-regulated in HBV-infected cells and PBMCs from CHB patients. Furthermore, we evaluated the clinical relevance of HOTAIR in 20 CHB patients and found that higher levels of HOTAIR expression were associated with higher ALT/AST levels and were positively correlated with HBsAg and HBV DNA levels. In addition, functional analysis showed that HOTAIR promoted HBV transcription and replication by elevating the activities of HBV promoters via modulation of the levels of cccDNA-bound SP1. In conclusion, our study reveals that HOTAIR expression is correlated with the clinicopathological and physiological characteristics of HBV. Thus, HOTAIR may serve as a novel HBV diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker based on its ability to facilitate HBV transcription and replication. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Step into the vibrant and dynamic world of Stuart Davis with the Stuart Davis Odol Poster, an art piece that celebrates the intersection of modernism and commercialism.
This captivating poster is a reproduction of Davis’s work that showcases his unique ability to transform everyday objects into bold, abstract art. It’s an homage to a time when art started to dialogue with everyday life, reflecting the artist’s fascination with jazz rhythms and urban landscape.
The Stuart Davis Odol Poster features the Odol mouthwash brand, but it transcends mere advertisement. Through Davis’s eyes, the product becomes an icon, set against a backdrop of checkerboard patterns and framed by a curvilinear, abstract form.
The contrast of the soft blues with the starkness of the black and white, along with the strong typeface, creates a striking visual that’s both a statement and a question about the nature of art and advertising.
A celebration of early American modernist art, this poster is perfect for enthusiasts of the genre or collectors seeking a piece with historical and aesthetic significance.
The unique style of Stuart Davis, his ability to blend the commercial with the artistic, is on full display, making this piece a standout selection for any collection.
Printed on quality paper, the Stuart Davis Odol Poster is produced to maintain the vibrancy of the original colors and the sharpness of the design. Whether it adorns a living room, studio, or gallery, this poster is guaranteed to catch the eye and provoke thought. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The protagonist is a sixteen-year-old boy who was suffering from a terminal illness when he fused with a Metatron seed (a special type of blessing forged by the archangels). In addition to superior adaptation, he can copy skills and attributes, absorb matter and energy, as well as be semi-spiritual.
Polymorph Mutant: It's like Rimuru Tempest combined with Alex Mercer, but it's a mutant, which means it has a human form from the beginning. Well, combine Rimuru's powers at the beginning with the protagonist's powers that I mentioned above to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
I'm also thinking about it generating symbiotes, which, when entering the body of an ally, allow a psychic link and allow them to copy each other's powers, the same can be done between symbiote users.
Orgamech/Magimites: basically it would be a techno-organic version of the Polymorph Mutant.
He would become an orgamech being when nanites used for his treatment fuse with him when the protagonist's powers awaken for the first time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Andrew Heaney LAA ($8,500 on DK)
After dominating through five innings in Heaney’s first start off the IL, he has a nice matchup with the Mariners tonight. At a fairly inexpensive price, Heaney should return nicely on his value. After averaging a strikeout per inning last season, Heaney should continue to rack up Ks tonight against the Mariners who strikeout at a 25.3% clip. Heaney is dominant against lefties with a 1.44 FIP last year but has struggled against right-handed hitters.
Nick Margevicius SDP ($6,900 on DK)
Margevicius started the season off very well for the Padres, but he fizzled out after a few bad starts. He just got called up from the minors in order to make tonight’s start against one of the worst hitting teams in baseball, the Miami Marlins. He has something to prove tonight.
1B/2B Max Muncy LAD ($4,600 on DK)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a nice spot tonight against an opener in Jose Alvarez. Cole Irvin who is returning to the Majors and Vince Velasquez who is fresh off the IL are slated to be available in long relief. Muncy has homered twice in the past three games and has been solid against lefties this season. I am going to ride the hot hand batting at the top of a prolific lineup.
2B/3B DJ LeMahieu NYY ($4,400 on DK)
DJ LeMahieu has consistently gotten on base this season at a clip of .386. He is riding a 12 game on-base streak at the moment and has homered the past two games. He has excelled at the leadoff spot for the Yankees this season. Rick Porcello has struggled this season and has failed to get significant strikeouts. This should allow LeMahieu to reach base multiple times once again and possibly continue his power surge.
2B/OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. TOR ($4,500 on DK)
Since being recalled to the Majors, Gurriel has been crushing and has gotten a hit in each game. A game in Coors Field against the underwhelming Jon Gray sets up for another productive day for Gurriel Jr. He lacks plate discipline so there is a low floor on this play, but the upside for a hot hand in Colorado cannot be passed on. Give me the upside play for a reasonable price for a hitter in Coors Field.
SS Paul DeJong STL ($4,500 on DK)
DeJong is good value today against the Cubs and Jose Quintana. He is hitting .346 against left-handed pitching today and Quintana has been very up and down throughout the last two years. There is a ton of upside here because of his price, especially since he is more than capable of hitting the ball out tonight.
3B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. TOR ($4,100 on DK)
Vladito has hit six home runs this season and plays at Coors Field tonight, where the ball is very susceptible to leaving the yard. He is facing Jon Gray who is having some trouble keeping the ball in the yard this season. You could pay $1,800 more for Nolan Arenado, or you could take Vladito who has the same upside today.
OF Franmil Reyes SDP ($4,200 on DK)
Reyes has matched his home run total from last year in 91 fewer plate appearances this season. He is facing one of the Marlins’ better pitchers today in Jose Urena, but I’m calling a big day for the Padres today. Reyes bats right in the middle of the lineup and should get plenty of opportunities with runners on base.

The Abbotsford School District’s Strategic Plan reflects our public commitment to BC’s curriculum by working together to continuously improve learning for each student.
Under the Framework for Enhancing Student Learning, the district is required to develop a long term plan to improve student achievement, one that maintains a balance on the intellectual, social and career development of students. As outlined in our strategic plan's Student Success pillar our goals include:
- Improve early learning
- Increase student success in literacy
- Increase student success in numeracy
- Improve student wellbeing
- Increase the percentage of students who graduate with options and purpose
- Increase student core competencies in relation to their career and life goals
Annually, schools develop internal operational plans and set individual goals to improve student achievement, as outlined in AP 105 - School Improvement Planning.
Our students will learn key academic skills - like reading, writing and math - to encompass the knowledge and processes associated with intellectual development. As learners and meaning-makers, students take subject-specific concepts and content and transform them into a new understanding.
Human & Social
Our students will study personal and human social skills and as they relate to students' identity in the world - both as individuals and as members of their community. We are learning that personal and human social skills encompass the abilities students needs to thrive as individuals, to understand and care about themselves and others, and to find and achieve their purposes in the world.
Our students will succeed in a much different future from the one we envisioned 10 or 15 years ago. It is our responsibility to prepare all children for success in whatever life path they choose, connecting learning opportunities with future career possibilities. We know that real-life experiences - like community involvement, gaining business knowledge, and hands-on-learning - build better students and life-long citizens. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Despite the Brighton defender signing a new long-term contract with the club over the weekend, Everton are reportedly still interested in signing Tariq Lamptey.
Lamptey has impressed since making the move to Brighton from Chelsea in last year’s January transfer window and has earned himself a reputation as one of the most exciting young full-backs in the Premier League.
His exciting form has seen the English defender get rewarded with a new contract that has seen him commit to the Seagulls until the end of the 2024/25 season. Brighton fans would have hoped that the new deal would put an end to the speculation linking their prized asset with a move to one of the league’s top clubs, but if anything, it has only seemed to have stoked the fire.
The Athletic claim that despite Lamptey committing his future to the club and receiving a wage rise, his asking price has remained around the same level and a number of clubs are said to be monitoring the situation.

- More madness at Everton as Moshiri now agrees to sell club to 777 Partners

Everton are clearly in need of a new right-back and are looking for someone to take over the position from club Captain Seamus Coleman. The Irishman has performed well when he has featured this season, but his advancing age and niggling injuries indicate that the Blues need to find a replacement for the former Sligo Rovers man, and soon.
The Toffees’ current back-up at right-back, Jonjoe Kenny, has rarely featured in the Everton match day squad this season, even when Coleman has been absent. It is evident that Kenny is not favoured by Carlo Ancelotti and is expected to leave the club soon, possibly in the current transfer window.
Mason Holgate has filled in at right-back for The Blues in recent weeks, but his long-term future is expected to be at his more natural centre-back position. The likes of Ben Godfrey and Tom Davies are also capable of deputising there, but a natural right-back will likely be high up on Marcel Brands’ list of priorities in the summer transfer window and the Toffees could well make a move for Lamptey if they feel as though the asking price is reasonable.
Could Tariq Lamptey be a sizeable option for the successor of Seamus Coleman? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Yocum Oil Inc. sold its nine Holiday Stationstores convenience stores and gas stations back to Holiday Cos., the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported. The transaction is part of Yocum's move toward a complete sale of the company.
Holiday reportedly paid $8 million for the locations in Cottage Grove, Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Jordan, Maplewood, North St. Paul, Stillwater and Woodbury, Minn., along with the business operations for a second site that Yocum leased in North St. Paul. These sales closed on April 17.

This paper is a short review on the mechanical properties of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which were studied by atomic force microscope (AFM). AFM force-distance measurements were applied to three different nano structures based on the suspended CNTs, those are a straight suspended CNT, a coiled CNT, and a torsional CNT. Force-distance measurements were done on the pick and valley position of the coiled CNT and the estimated elastic moduli was compared with the straight one. Nanoscale metal plate was fabricated on the middle part of the suspended CNT structure using conventional lithography and etching procedure. The torsional modulus of the suspended CNT was estimated from the force-distance measurement using AFM manipulation on top of the metal plate. The paper covers synthesis and preparation method of various suspended CNT structure and the analysis of the force-distance measurements appropriate to each CNT structure. Prospects of the AFM force-distance measurements on emergent nano scale materials as well as CNT are suggested in the end of this paper.

I examine how certain domestic political conditions affect if and when interstate rivalries end. I argue that rivalries are more likely to end (1) when regime changes occur, (2) when a rivalry involves democratic states, and (3) when rivals are democratizing. I also test the proposition that both states in a rivalry must be democratic in order for the probability of rivalry termination to increase. I assess the argument using a hazard analysis of rivalry duration, using two data sets of rivalries from 1816 to 1988, and using different measures of democracy. I find strong support for the existence of a relationship between polity change and the end of rivalries, and somewhat weaker support for the existence of a relationship between democracy and the end of rivalries. It appears that it is in fact the joint presence of two democracies in a rivalry that helps lead to their termination. However, the process of democratization appears to have little effect, either positive or negative, on rivalry duration.

James Howell could be elected “Husband of the Year” for his patience and forgiveness of his young wife. Two problems: He is not married but his live-in girlfriend Halfina Eddy-Evans dumped a hard disk containing the key to about $720 million in Bitcoin in the garbage. Of course, they did not discover the error until the garbage bag had been taken to the landfill and buried. James says he can’t blame her, because he had asked her to tidy up the place. This was in 2013. The 8,000 bitcoins, which he says the key in the hard disk will lead him to, are now worth a staggering $720 million. In 2024 James is still fighting a losing battle against the Newport Council in Wales, UK which has repeatedly denied his request to search the rubbish pile for the fortune.
The tragedy happened because of a mix-up, according to him. Howells had two identical extranal laptop drives at home – one was blank and the other contained the keys to the bitcoins he minted in 2009, after weeks of experimentation. The drive was with Howells until the fateful incident in 2013. He had asked his girlfriend Halfina Eddy-Evans to throw out the blank hard disk, but as luck would have it what ended up in the trash pile was the other one. “Yes, I threw away his rubbish, he asked me to. The computer part had been disposed of in a black sack along with other unwanted belongings and he begged me to take it away. I had no idea what was in it, but I reluctantly dropped it off at the local tip on the way home from going on the school run,” Halfina Eddy-Evans, told Mail Online. “I did it to help out. Losing it was not my fault. I’d love nothing more than him to find it. I’m sick and tired of hearing about it,” she said. “I have no claim on whatever money he could be worth. He is the father of my two sons, but I don’t want a penny of his money,” Halfina said.
James said the council has continually refused to engage with him, despite him pledging to donate 10% of the proceeds back into the local area*, on successful retrieval of the fortune. “I still own the intellectual digital property located on the hard drive,” James insists. “I am either entitled to recover the property at full cost to myself or if the landowner refuses it, they pay me the value of my property,” he says. “Newport City Council has been contacted multiple times since 2013 about the possibility of retrieving a piece of IT hardware said to be in our landfill site,” Daily Mirror has quoted a spokesperson of the council as saying. “The council has told Howells multiple times that excavation is not possible under our environmental permit, and that work of that nature would have a huge negative environmental impact on the surrounding area,” he said.
*$72 million.That is a dedicated environmentalist!
How do you make a small fortune from investing in Bitcoin?
Start off by investing a large fortune in Bitcoin.
Wife: “I have a lot of my own clothes I’d like to donate.”
Husband: “Why bother? It’s easier to throw the clothes in the garbage can.”
Wife: “Don’t be selfish! There are so many poor people who have no clothes and are starving.”
Husband: ” Honey, anyone who fits into your clothing is not starving…”
If I had invested $1000 into Bitcoin today I would have…
No idea how it worked.
How can you tell who owns bitcoin at a party?

The Toto HK is a gambling game in which numbers or symbols are drawn at random for a prize. Some governments outlaw it, while others endorse it to the extent of organizing a national or state lottery. The term “lottery” is also used for any scheme for distributing prizes based on chance, including those in which a person’s place or rank is determined by a random process.
Lotteries are a popular form of fundraising, especially for public goods. They are inexpensive to organize and can generate large amounts of money in a short time. However, they are a risky way to raise funds and may result in financial losses for many people. Therefore, it is important to understand the risks and rewards of lottery participation before deciding to participate in one.
A person can choose to play the lottery by buying a ticket from a store or online. The prize in the lottery is usually a cash sum. The odds of winning depend on the number of tickets sold and the value of each ticket. In addition, the number of balls in the game can affect the chances of winning. For example, if there are 50 balls and only a few numbers are chosen each week, the odds of winning are very small.
Some states allow players to choose their own numbers, while others use pre-printed tickets with random selections. The latter type of lottery is more likely to produce a winner, but the prizes are smaller. In either case, it is a good idea to diversify the numbers you select, since playing the same numbers every time decreases your odds of winning.
A bettor pays an entrance fee for the chance to win a prize. The prize may be a fixed amount of money or an item such as a car or home. Federal statutes prohibit the operation of a lottery by mail or over the telephone, but the law does not prohibit the sale of tickets themselves. A lottery must include the elements of payment, chance, and prize in order to be legal.
The first European lotteries in the modern sense of the word appeared in 15th-century Burgundy and Flanders, when towns sought to supplement their revenues. The first French state lotteries were organized by Francis I in 1539.
In the United States, most states offer a variety of lottery games. The largest prizes are often offered by the Powerball and Mega Millions games, which draw ten or more numbers from a pool of more than a hundred. Smaller prizes are available in other states, and the odds of winning are higher if you play a lesser-known game.
While the odds of winning the jackpot are extremely low, the potential for a large prize is appealing to many people. While the lottery is not without its problems, it can provide a significant source of funding for charitable and public purposes. In colonial America, lotteries helped finance roads, canals, and bridges as well as colleges and libraries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
