New research comparing life expectancies across 6 English speaking countries reveals Australian women live nearly 4 years and men nearly 5 years longer than their American counterparts.
However, the findings also highlight that while Australia offers a model for other countries to improve life expectancies, it still has a long way to go to reduce inequalities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Compared to the highest-performing Australian state, life expectancies in the Northern Territory where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders make up 30.8% of the population were 6.2 and 4.96 years lower for men and women, respectively.
Americans had the shortest life expectancy at birth, with women living an average of almost 81.5 years and men an average of nearly 76.5 years in 2019.
“One of the main drivers of why American longevity is so much shorter than in other high-income countries is our younger people die at higher rates from largely preventable causes of death, like drug overdose, car accidents and homicide,” says Jessica Ho, associate professor of sociology and demography at Penn State University in the US and senior author on the paper.
“What the study shows is that a peer country like Australia far outperforms the US and was able to get its young adult mortality under control.
“It has really low levels of gun deaths and homicides, lower levels of drug and alcohol use and better performance on chronic diseases, the latter of which points to lifestyle factors, health behaviours and health care performance.”
At younger ages, Australia also has lower mortality from perinatal conditions and congenital anomalies, as well as lower motor vehicle accident mortality than similarly large (in terms of land area) countries with high driving rates, like the US and Canada.
The researchers say several factors may explain why life expectancy in Australia is higher than in other Anglophone countries, such as its history of immigration.
“Australia has the highest foreign-born share of its population, reaching nearly 30% in 2018. Prior studies have found that immigrants, who tend to have higher life expectancy than the native-born, can make important contributions to national life expectancy,” they write.
Australia also had a less severe smoking epidemic, particularly compared with the US and the UK, which the researchers say could contribute to lower mortality from respiratory diseases, cancers and circulatory diseases.
“Finally, a 2021 Commonwealth Fund report found that Australia’s healthcare system outperformed that of the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the USA,” the authors write.
“Australia experiences a mortality advantage from circulatory and respiratory diseases, cancers and perinatal and congenital conditions, which are linked to superior healthcare system performance (e.g., cancer screening and treatment, influenza vaccination, and cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment).” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I am not going to make a judgement about whether this report from the conservative Australian news outlet, Sky News, is true or not. It is a counter perspective. As I see it, it is my job to create a system for questions like this to be worked out. It does, however, highlight, what the CounterChecker app is targeting.
You see, if you believe that the Independent fact checkers at Facebook are fair and unbiased, then you might not see the need for the CounterChecker app. Or, perhaps you believe that the Facebook fact checkers are too conservative. They are, indeed, quite biased in your view – to the right. There have been many fact checks you’ve read that missed many points you believed were true. You, very much, would have found the CounterChecker app to be useful.
I’ve seen complaints from both sides. I would expect interest from both sides. And there are more than two sides. I am putting together the team that will develop this app. It will turn fact checking into a multi-sided dialog, rather than some supposedly independent fact checker. Anyone who has any contentions about anything written will have the opportunity to counter that report with facts on a point by point, word by word basis. As such, the CounterChecker app will deserve a greater sense of authority than any independent fact checking source. It will become the definitive fact checking source.
Do you like this idea? Then maybe you could help. Contact James Carvin to join the team. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The winner of the fabric giveaway is Shelli. She will be receiving a bundle of green fabric from my stash. Thanks to all of you for playing along. I did pick the winner on Saturday, I just didn't get around to posting it until today.
In quilt along news...I have decided (based on John's suggestion) to do a bunch of tutorials to help you with your Christmas gift giving. I have a hefty line up planned. More news on that next week.
I'm declaring this baby quilt week here at Crazy Mom Quilts.
I plan to post a completed baby quilt (top at least) each day. This pattern is Plain Spoken from The Modern Quilt Workshop.
In a personal challenge to myself, I am trying to make several baby quilts for a few reasons.
1. I find it hard to make small quilts. My mentality is, if small is good, big is better. I think it just boils down to selfishness. If it's at least a lap quilt, I can keep it and use it myself. As much fun as that would be, I really don't need that many more quilts.
2. I have a list of quilts that I want to make that is out. of. control. This should be a helpful tool in whittling down my list. At least that's the hope.
3. One of my new year's resolutions was to make more quilts for charity. I haven't done very well with that. Yet.
If anyone cares to join me in making a baby quilt (or quilts) this week, I'd love to see what you come up with. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was unsure how to react on Monday after learning that former President Donald Trump had been named in a tranche of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
"I was given, during breaks, big national news that Trump's been implicated," Jones said. "Okay. And I can't speak to this until I've had time to research it. So, um, I'm going to go off air soon."
The allegations in question came from a woman who recanted her statement years ago, but reappeared in newly unsealed filings linked to attorneys representing Alan Dershowitz, The Messenger reports.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Independent in response, “These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit.”
Jones appeared to know little about the breaking story or their origin.
"I'll tell you what I think," he promised. "I don't know. I don't know what's going on."
Jones noted Trump's well-documented relationship with Epstein, who was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell before he could stand trial on criminal sex trafficking charges.
"[Trump] did hang around with [Epstein] some and was around him some," Jones said. "And so I'm not going to, I'm not going to sit there ever, ever and, uh, condone any of that, but we're going to find out." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

KMAN KUSTOM KRAPPER
Unusual Business at Ocean Edge Golf course
Back in 2014, while playing golf at the Ocean Edge Golf Resort, I saw the following unusual display at the 17th hole:
Sign Next to the Toilet
My name is John Kelliher, Also known as K-MAN. I've recently retired after 40 years as a CFO and CPA. My summer house overlooks the 17th tee box. I've been playing golf at Ocean Edge for 29 years. As I thought about the next chapter in my life, a FANTASTIC idea as born. There could be a great future in Kustom toilets. As I conducted research & surveyed many Ocen Edge friends & owners, I confirmed there is a market for Kustom toilets. In my case, I'm very proud of my Irish heritage. I'm also a Boston College alum and I LOVE to play golf. So I Kustomized my own
== *: KRAPPER :** ==
I've confirmed that there are many like me who after a Koffee & Kruller from Ferretti's would like to settle into the Konfort of a Kustom Krapper for their morning Konstitutional.If you would like a free Konsultation to discuss your hobbies, interests, profession and how to incorporate them into your very own KMAN KUSTOM KRAPPER call or email me.
Pricing & References @ KmanKrappers.com
John had a creative way to market an unusual service. I don't know how many people contacted John, but it certainly caught people's attention that day. In the picture, you can see the golf club is being used to flush the toilet.
I am glad I had my phone and took a picture of the display because I didn't see it again the following summer.
No Longer in Business
The KmanKrappers.com domain isn't working anymore. Sadly it looks like John Kelliher died on August 5, 2018. I don't know John, but I still remember that Kustom Krapper. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
BlockDAG, XRP, and Shiba Inu are making waves in the crypto market, each offering distinct investment prospects. BlockDAG has achieved a milestone by securing the top spot on CoinSniper, with its presale raising over $61.3 million and selling over 12.3 billion coins. In contrast, XRP has experienced a 5% price increase in the last 24 hours, driven by favorable regulatory developments and whale movments. Shiba Inu (SHIB), on the other hand, has surged by 17% but remains highly volatile, with significant whale transactions suggesting potential price manipulation. Despite these gains, SHIB's price fluctuations make it a riskier investment.
BlockDAG Secures Top Spot on CoinSniper, Nears $61.3M Presale Milestone

XRP News: Whales Move Millions Amid Derivatives Market Frenzy
On-chain data reveals significant XRP whale activity, with nearly 77 million XRP shifted in the past day, sparking investor speculation. The movements come as the SEC prepares for a closed-door meeting, potentially discussing Ripple. Notable transactions include the accumulation of 23.28 million XRP from Binance and the transfer of 54.29 million XRP to Bitstamp and Bitso. These actions have created mixed market sentiments. Meanwhile, XRP's price has risen to $0.62, with derivatives market activity surging. Open interest in XRP futures hit $796.75 million, and derivatives volume climbed to $2.21 billion, reflecting increased investor interest and optimism about Ripple's prospects amidst ongoing regulatory discussions.
Shiba Inu Faces Volatility Despite Recent Price Surge
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has seen a remarkable recovery over the past week, climbing by 17%. However, traders are anticipating another drop in its price. Currently, SHIB is up 2% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.0000194 after reaching a one-month high of $0.00002 on July 16, before correcting to $0.0000187.
Despite the price fluctuation, Shiba Inu's market cap stands at $11.4 billion, making it the 12.3th-largest cryptocurrency and the second-largest meme coin. Its daily trading volume has decreased by 27% to $500 million.. Additionally, SHIB's total open interest has dropped, and funding rates are negative, with short positions outnumbering long ones.
Next Crypto To Explode
BlockDAG’s presale success and advanced technology make it a compelling investment opportunity, with its near-instant transaction confirmations and scalability providing significant advantages. XRP's recent price hike highlights its growing role in cross-border payments, presenting a solid investment choice amid favorable regulatory developments.
Shiba Inu, despite its recent surge, remains highly volatile with potential price manipulation risks. However, it offers substantial gains if the price stabilizes. Considering these factors, BlockDAG stands out for its technological innovation and strong market position, making it a more stable and promising investment compared to XRP and Shiba Inu.

Community land trusts are nonprofit organizations designed to preserve housing affordability. This brief describes the design and operation of such trusts, illustrating the concept by spotlighting the Columbia Community Land Trust of Columbia, Missouri.
The contents of this brief evolved from a presentation given in the Colloquium on Inclusive Housing Policy for the St. Louis Region. Held in the Brown School at Washington University on December 15, 2022, the event was organized by the Center for Social Development in partnership with Women’s Voices Raised for Social Justice and the Alliance for Interracial Dignity. The contents of this brief may also be found in Welcome Home: A Policy Briefing Book for Housing Opportunity in St. Louis County, edited by Molly Metzger.

Starting out in 1978, with the mission of promoting the rural arts and crafts and giving power to the impoverished craftsperson, Aarong is currently one of the forerunners for elevating the rural culture. With remarkably high standards while also prioritizing the needs of the rural women in mind, they have done an extraordinary job and have also made a name for themselves internationally. The range of merchandise being sold goes from clay and pottery goods to in-trend fashion and accessories.
Brands tend to have a strict set of requirements that have to be maintained throughout all their branches. This is to ensure that regardless of which Aarong store is being visited the user experience is the same. Having been in the industry of showcasing products for about 40 years, certain standards have been set for the ergonomics of the store, and those must be applied throughout all the stores. Therefore, while working on the interior design for the stores, factors like the lighting, the product display have already been decided beforehand.
All of these factors have been decided beforehand to make sure that the experience that every person gets regardless of which Aarong location is visited would be the same. It creates a very strong identity for the brand hence resonating feelings of familiarity when they visit any Aarong location. Even with all these standards, each location does have certain elements that allow for variety within the designs.
For Aarong Banasree, since it is an outlet in Dhaka, it drew inspiration from the heritage of the city. The prominent red colour used within the interior was taken from the buildings in Old Dhaka and alcoves were used near the staircase that were a prominent feature in Mughal style architecture.

Disclosing personal information online often feels like losing control over one’s data forever; but this loss is not inevitable. This essay proposes a “chain-link confidentiality” approach to protecting online privacy. One of the most difficult challenges to guarding privacy in the digital age is the protection of information once it is exposed to other people. A chain-link confidentiality regime would contractually link the disclosure of personal information to obligations to protect that information as the information moves downstream. The system would focus on the relationships not only between the discloser of information and the initial recipient, but also between the initial recipient and subsequent recipients. Through the use of contracts, this approach would link recipients of personal information as in a chain, with each recipient bound by the same obligation to protect the information. These chain contracts would contain at least three kinds of terms: 1) obligations and restrictions on the use of the disclosed information; 2) requirements to bind future recipients to the same obligations and restrictions; and 3) requirements to perpetuate the contractual chain. This approach would create a system for the permissible dissemination of personal information online. It would also protect Internet users by ensuring that a website’s obligation to safeguard personal information is extended to third parties.

Packaging Design, Key Visual, Brand Book
When the Spanish wine and spirits company Osborne added whisky Doble·V to their portfolio, they needed to reposition the brand to capture mid-Millennial whisky consumers who would already be familiar with Scotch, but not Spanish whisky. They asked DAf to create a range of assets to this end, including a brand manifesto, claim, new packaging design, key visuals, social media content and a brand book.
We updated Doble·V’s packaging to present a cleaner, more modern design featuring the iconized “W”. For the KVs, to create something fresh and attractive, we showcased the unencumbered, highly sociable attitude of the consumer. This affable jokester lives life intensely, and his attitude, summarized in the tagline “Vive al Doble,” was the perfect springboard for showing the double key visuals where the jokester lives life to the fullest. We made the distinctly warm red tones of Doble·V’s the star and updated and streamlined their iconic W (said “doble-v” in Spanish) to create transparent, uncomplicated messages.
Departing from known codes can open a whole new territory, even for a classic spirit.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 5th August 2024, ZEXPRWIRE, Astra Nova, the revolutionary free-to-play action RPG set in a universe on the brink of destruction, is making significant strides as the first Web3 game to emerge from Saudi Arabia’s vibrant gaming landscape.

Matt Reeves is no stranger to taking us down dark and emotional paths in his movies, and he has spoken about the emotional jeopardy in The Batman: Part ll. We’re pretty sure that just means things will only be worse than in the first film, which makes us wonder exactly what he has in store for us.
Appearing on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast in March 2022, Reeves answered questions from host Josh Horowitz about the makings of The Batman (2022). The director explained how the script is so different from when it was first handed to him, what changed when Ben Affleck stepped down from playing Batman, Reeves’ process of plotting and piecing together the movie, and getting into Batsy’s head to stay true to the character we know and love.
It’s an extremely interesting episode. He even talks about Penguin’s upcoming series, the Joker deleted scene, and the ideas that went into it.
When Horowitz asks whether Reeves thinks Robin, a teenager, could exist in this “Horrible Gotham, the pit of despair” that he has created, the director says that he doesn’t know.
Reeves explains that he doesn’t know exactly what the story will be, but:
For me, whatever that story’s going to be, it’s going to be to take these characters and specifically Batmans character, put them in some kind of emotional jeopardy. […] There has to be emotional stakes so you get drawn into that characters story. […] There’s a deep-dive that already happened at the beginning and now I’m gonna have to deep-dive again.
The Batman: Part ll is due to begin filming this winter and will most likely be returning to Liverpool, England, and Glasgow, Scotland to film on location. As we wait for the next part, however, The Penguin series will air on HBO Max, with Colin Farrell returning to play Penguin. There’s currently no release date, but we know that it will be sometime this year.
The Batman: Part ll is set to release on October 3, 2025.

LoginThat, however, is never entirely true. The million-dollar question, however, is, how do you successfully hit on such powerful women and peacefully live in their shadows as a partner, without feeling little or being henpecked as those in the aforementioned cases? A while back, the country teemed with many macho posturing men, but since the advent of women empowerment and other related initiatives, things have changed. The previously tough guys are now all susceptible to the unpredictable female emotional roller coaster. So much that the lucky few men feel embarrassed to be dating or married to women who are more accomplished than them. True to form, when preparing this report, we tried to reach out to at least four husbands to well-known rich and successful female public figures for tips in vain. There is a radical shift in the previously held status quo most men enjoyed. Seemingly, women are now making more money than most men in their lives. As a result, majority have upset the previously enjoyed status quo by men and now stubbornly insist on absolute authority in households. Devastating effects of women empowerment on the boy-child.
Some call it living the dream, others call it a living nightmare. Some of these insights may actually even surprise you. Or turn you off from going near people with money.
Dating rich women may be an extremely lucrative and exciting experience. The benefits of selecting the most appropriate rich women dating site for you are numerous.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What’s your drink of choice?Is it a small pumpkin spice latte? Then you’re lots of fun and a bit sassy.Or a medium americano? You prefer simplicity in life.Or perhaps it’s a small decaf soy sugar-free hazelnut caffe latte? Some might call you a yuppie.
Seventeen-year-old barista Jane Turner has this theory that you can tell a lot about a person by their regular coffee drink. She scribbles it all down in a notebook and calls it Espressology. So it’s not a totally crazy idea when Jane starts hooking up some of her friends based on their coffee orders. Like her best friend, Em, a medium hot chocolate, and Cam, a toffee nut latte.
With overtones of Jane Austen’s Emma and brimming with humor and heart, this sweet, frothy debut will be savored by readers.
Thoughts: I adored The Espressologist! It is a modern-day fairytale: enchanting, funny and caffinated!
Everything I love about coffee shops is in this book! The drinks, the environment, and the perky staff. Although I have to say, reading it in Starbucks made it even more enjoyable. Short and sweet, I finished it in a single day.
Jane was a breath of fresh air as a narrator – and I felt the style was very much like my own. I swear this is just a book I forgot to write! The only thing I wish had been more developed was the love interest Cam – who I never really, er, got. Had I liked him even a little bit more, this could easily have been a 5 star book. It was honestly that enjoyable!
The hardback edition – which is currently the only one out – has an adorable coffee stain circle etched into it. And how much more adorable could that cover possibly get? ♥
Bottom line? A wonderful, escapist read for coffee-lovers of all ages. Especially if you need a little reality to cleanse your palate between all the fantasy YA in the market! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

PDF files are unique documents as they act as an image but have readable and searchable content. But since PDF are lossless “uneditable” formats, users without PDF editors can only read the file and cannot add or remove text on the document. Since PDF is like image files, the beauty of this feature can come in handy for these users as they can crop a part of it like an image. You can cut these sections into sub-sections or remove other areas just by cropping PDF. In this article we’re discussing different ways of cropping a section out of a PDF file:
METHOD 1: Using graphic software
Using graphic software like Photoshop or Corel can help you. PDF documents can be opened and viewed in these applications and can therefore be edited the same way it does with image files. When you open the PDF file, expect it to have a transparent background since it is by default transparent (PDF readers just automatically sets it in white). Here’s how to crop it:
Step one: Open the PDF file with the image editor by right-clicking the file and select “open with” then select the application you will be using
Step two: Select the marquee tool and make a selection by dragging your cursor while holding the left-click. This will create a selection with blinking dashes around the selected area.
Step three: Select IMAGE from the toolbar and click CROP. As a result, the selected area will be the only one remaining on your page.
Step four: Click save as then create a name for your new PDF.
The only downside of using this method is the fact that you have to do this over when cropping another page. You can’t crop all pages in bulk so if you’re simply removing white spaces or margins on your PDF, this can be troublesome to those files with hundreds of pages. Image tools aren’t also for everyone since it does require users to pay fees in order to install the application.
METHOD 2: Using DeftPDF online
With our software here at DeftPDF, you can crop PDF easily with our user-friendly interface and drag-and-drop functions. This tool is for free and will only require you to be online for the duration of cropping. Here’s how to use our online tool:
Step one: Go to DeftPDF.com and select CROP from all tools
Step two: Upload your PDF file. Select CROP WHOLE DOCUMENT if you want to crop all pages with one standard selection or select CROP PAGES INDIVIDUALLY if you want to cut a section of each page differently. A preview of your file will appear on the screen.
Step three: Drag the cursor on the preview, a marquee selection will appear. You can also indicate the crop area using margin values. Just input the size by inch for the top, bottom, left, and right. Then click CROP PDF when done.
With DeftPDF online, cropping is made easy to do. You can also do much more with our tools such as editing, adding text, removing text from existing PDF, adding an electronic signature, watermark, extracting pages, and more. All you need to do is select the right tool from the menu and upload your PDF document. Don’t worry, it’s all free! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Two iconic made in Italy brands team up for a special, full electric 500
Everything was ready for the debut of the Geneva International Motor Show, but, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the coronavirus disease now globally widespread, the new electric Fiat 500 was unveiled in Milan in March 2020. For this special launch, three Italian brands presented their creative version: Bulgari, Giorgio Armani and Kartell.
The 500 is a symbol of the Italian economic miracle, the historical period associated with made in Italy. Kartell’s first product, as Claudio Luti explained, was a ski rack for the 500. Kartell and Fiat share a long history of research, innovation and quality, which led to this new version of the 500, electric, with interiors and finishes characterized by a recognizable graphic design.
Discover everything about sustainable products by Kartell
The design of the new electric 500 is inspired by the Kabuki lamp by Ferruccio Laviani: the details recall the lamp and become distinctive features of the car. Besides the engine, the electric 500 is green also in its body and interiors.
Discover also The Art Side of Kartell, the exhibition celebrating its 70th anniversary
The front grille, the rims and the mirror housing are made from recycled polycarbonate lamp reflectors worked with the perforated structure typical of Kabuki. Also inside the car, the pattern of Kabuki, the lamp designed by Ferruccio Laviani, is present on several elements. For example, it can be found on the polycarbonate cover of the dashboard insert and, as a transparent application, on the seats.
The interiors are made of 100% recycled polypropylene, while fabrics are made of 100% recycled polyester. Another distinctive feature of the electric Fiat 500 Kartell is its blue color, derived from the Klein blue, one of Kartell’s hallmark colors. It is used for all the materials of the car: plastic, fabric, glass, metal, rubber.
Fiat 500 Kartell is part of a project developed by Fiat with Bulgari and Giorgio Armani, two excellences of made in Italy production, with the support of Altagamma, the Italian luxury brand committee. The three cars will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to one of Leonardo di Caprio’s environmental organizations, who is starring the new full electric Fiat 500 advertisement.

I am unable to publish audio assets to the creator store. Ive been verified (ID verified) and the website believes I am able to publish assets to the creator store.
Any help over this matter is truly appreciated
I should be able to upload my assets not only to Roblox, but into the creator store
Page URL: https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations?activeTab=Audio
also, have some candy for halloween
Else the audio is over 10 seconds, or it was rejected for distribution cause it was marked as “Music” instead of “Sound Effect”, it isn’t a bug.
As @CryBlania helpfully mentioned, audio must be under 10 seconds to be classified as a “Sound Effect” and be user-distributable.
Please see the following DevForum post for more information.
Starting today, Creators can distribute free sound effects under 10 seconds via the Creator Store provided you meet the criteria (are 13+ and ID-verified, and in good moderation standing). Once distributed, these sound effects will be available for any creator to use inside their experience(s).
Unique sounds, community created
Being able to find unique sound effects that enhance experiences is a top request from Creators. Whether it’s nailing the gunshots in your action game, hav…
If, however, this uploaded audio is under 10 seconds, please let us know and we will investigate further.
Most of my audios are under 10 seconds. Here is a list:
(I am replying on mobile so these are screenshots from my phone.)
In recent days, when I checked the configure page, on my end it was the other way around; it claimed that my audio assets were eligible for distribution even if they were longer than 10 seconds, but I was unable to determine whether it worked because I do not yet plan to become ID verified.
Maybe it would be best for you to attach the sound effects you’re trying to upload to this thread?
I’ve meant audio files, not links .
Hi @Champlistic ,
I listened to your audio files and they all have musical chimes in them. This means they are classified as music and are ineligible for public distribution on the creator store.
I do agree that my audios do contain musical chimes In them and that it is therefore not distributable on the platform.
But upon noticing other users successfully uploading musical chimes to the creator store. I am quite confused as to what makes mine not acceptable:
Also, not all of my audios contain musical chimes, and for these audios I am also unable to distribute:
Any audio tagged as music isn’t eligible for distribution to the catalog store. So if you see e.g. this:
It means that you’re not allowed to distribute that as a sound effect.
Most of those assets were uploaded in 2021-2022 which was before we updated the system for public sound effects in March this year. We now require the extra sfx check before allowing distribution as Blanka mentioned above.
https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/17514074119/Russian-Metro-UPPS-chime-sound-variant-2?keyword=metro%2Bchime&pageNumber=1&pagePosition=1 is the only one that was uploaded after the public sfx launch. I think this one is less musical as it is three descending tones. The system to check for sfx is not perfect but the main thing we are trying to do is encourage uploads of non-musical sound effects. This unfortunately means we block distribution of sound effects that have musical elements in them. You can still upload these assets privately to use in your own or your group’s experiences.
The Smallville Announcement audio does not contain music but contains a voice which is borderline since music can contain vocal elements. If you reduce the echo to make is sound more like a regular person talking it may work. You can add back in the echo with our dynamic audio effects Dynamic Effects | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
I see. Thank you for clarifying.

I'm amazed by the way some people think. Because it's so far out of "my box."
In a post at Loving Learning at Home (found through this week's Carnival of Homeschooling), Julieanne mentions something that happened when she was younger:
"I remember as a child, having guests come to visit. They were younger than me, and they were absolutely HORRIFIED that our family was going to go inside of the local, low-budget store and do some shopping. In fact, our dear guests stayed out in the car because they refused to be seen inside of this national chain store, even though their home was in another state!"My mind just goes "huh?" at that. Why does it matter where you shop? I just don't get that. My kids wouldn't either--they LOVE getting to spend less of their money on something and therefore having more left over for something else. The Apprentice, in particular, earns most of her own spending money and even pays for a lot of her own clothes--which is a good thing, because our Apprentice is a fashionable young lady, likes clothes, and enjoys shopping. Someday you should ask her what she paid for those pretty shoes she wore to the spring dance--but I'll give you a hint, it's less than some girls probably paid for a hair ornament for the same dance.
While I appreciate the thoughts expressed in the post, I have a hard time identifying with the idea that you could even have a struggle with most of the issues she raises. House-brand groceries? Using coupons? What's wrong with that, if you can find coupons for basic grocery items instead of just sugar splops?
Driving an older car? We drove '80's cars, cheap to buy and easy to maintain, until emissions testing here drove all the good older cars off the road.
"Alternatives to lengthy, expensive family vacations?" Um--I think the last "lengthy" one was our honeymoon. We've had a few overnighters since then, but no cruises or resorts, no, we haven't even been to Disney World. Does someone have a problem with that? How do you explain "powdered milk" to someone who has a problem just walking into a discount store?
But instead of getting impatient...I guess I just need to learn more tolerance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

(Washington, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and community members celebrated the grand opening of the new Reservoir Park Recreation Center and Aquatic Center and a 6.2-acre park located on the former McMillan Sand Filtration site.
“We know that people have been working for decades to put this land back to productive use, and today, I’m grateful for all the people who kept pushing,” said Mayor Bowser. “For the first time in decades, this site is not only back to productive use, but open to the public. Today, we are celebrating the transformation of underutilized land into a beautiful new recreation center and play space for the community. And we look forward to all that’s on the way – housing, a grocery store, and more – all generating economic growth and job opportunities here in Ward 5.”
Located between North Capitol Street NW and First Street NW, north of Channing Street NW, the recreation center features a multi-purpose community meeting room with a warming kitchen, outdoor gathering space adjacent to the multi-purpose room, fitness studio with lockers and shower facilities, pool with three-lap lanes and a learn-to-swim area, and gallery space to showcase the history of the site.
“I am confident this unique site and its facilities, located in the heart of DC, will quickly become an attraction for neighbors coming from all directions, across all 8 wards,” said DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Director Thennie Freeman.
The 6.2-acre park is unlike any other in DPR’s inventory, featuring a grand plaza with two splash pads, surrounded by an amphitheater for community gatherings. For informal recreation, there is an immense grass field, a children’s playground, and the Olmsted Walk, which encircles the site with adult exercise stations. The restored Memorial Fountain and a ‘walking museum’ will tell the story of the historic site and its preserved assets.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to Mayor Bowser for her unwavering commitment to seeing this project through,” said DC Department of General Services (DGS) Director Delano Hunter. “DGS is proud that today, as we celebrate the opening of this recreation center, we had the honor to design and build a facility that will provide a valuable space for communities to come together, stay active, and foster social connections.”
Two-thirds of the site is also being developed by the private developer Vision McMillan Partners (VMP), a group comprised of three local construction companies – EYA, Trammell Crow, and Jair Lynch. The new private development, Reservoir District, will feature 146 for-sale townhomes (of which 22 will be affordable), 472 rental apartments (including 85 senior affordable units and 27 other affordable units), a full-service grocery store, restaurants and retail, and over one million square feet of healthcare facility space.
“When we think big and commit to a vision for how we transform and activate underutilized land in our city, we can do incredible things,” said Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert. “This beautiful community space is just the beginning for this site, and we look forward to delivering housing, grocery, retail, and other community-serving amenities that benefit and create opportunities for our residents.”
Historically, the McMillan Sand Filtration Plant was a large-scale water purification facility throughout the early twentieth century. In 1986, operations of the filtration plant ended, and the District bought the land from the federal government for $9.3 million. In 1991, the site was recognized as a DC historic site and national landmark, with all 93 acres of the site known as the McMillan Park Reservoir Historic District. In 2016, Mayor Bowser and District officials broke ground on the site to redevelop it. In September 2022, the District closed financing on the private development portion of the site and full-scale development commenced.
The Reservoir Park Recreation Center and Aquatic Center, operated by DPR and maintained by DGS, will operate on the following schedule during summer 2024:

As the dust settles two months after UniCredit’s initial overtures to German lender Commerzbank, the banking sector’s resilience is being tested in one of Europe’s most significant potential mergers. Recent third-quarter earnings reports from both institutions reveal contrasting financial trajectories and strategic outlooks.
UniCredit announced an 8% increase in its net profit, reaching 2.5 billion euros ($2.25 billion), beating analysts’ expectations of 2.27 billion euros. This strong performance has prompted the Italian bank to revise upwards its full-year profit outlook, which now calls for more than 9 billion euros, up from a previous estimate of 8.5 billion euros.
In contrast, Commerzbank reported a 6.2% decline in net profit for the same period, amounting to 642 million euros. This decline was attributed to the reduction in net interest margin and the increase in provisions for potential loan losses. Nonetheless, the bank expressed optimism about its prospects for 2024, adjusting its expectations on net interest and fees and reaffirming its target of achieving a net profit of 2.4 billion euros for the year, up from 2 .2 billion euros in 2023.
In an interview with CNBC, Bettina Orlopp, CEO of Commerzbank, called the quarter “very good,” while acknowledging the challenges posed by lower interest rates in Europe. Orlopp underlined the bank’s commitment to increasing shareholder value through a balanced approach of capital returns and improved profitability.
Commerzbank has yet to respond decisively to UniCredit’s advances. Following UniCredit’s strategic moves to establish a potential 21% stake in Commerzbank through derivatives, the German bank has appointed a new chief executive and sharpened its financial ambitions. Recently, Commerzbank announced that it had received regulatory approval to buy back €600 million ($653 million) in shares, a buyback that is expected to begin shortly after the earnings announcement.
Orlopp noted that Commerzbank remains open to merger discussions, provided a formal proposal is submitted. He underlined the importance of evaluating any potential deal in line with the bank’s strategic objectives and stakeholder interests.
The German government’s position on the potential merger remains uncertain, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz warning against hostile takeovers in late September. Scholz’s government holds a 12% stake in Commerzbank, left over from the financial bailout during the 2008 crisis, and has since reduced its holdings slightly.
The political landscape could complicate merger discussions, as coalition members within Scholz’s government are poised to engage in talks that could affect the future of the proposed union. UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel acknowledged the constructive beginnings of their interest in Commerzbank, but underlined the need for collaboration and clear communication going forward.
Recent history has shown a decline in appetite for large cross-border mergers among European banks, a sentiment rooted in the fallout from the controversial takeover of Dutch bank ABN Amro in 2007, led by the Royal Bank of Scotland. The fallout from that deal, which contributed to the collapse of both banks during the financial crisis, has made stakeholders wary. Orcel himself played a role in that transaction, serving as a senior banker at Merrill Lynch at the time.
Despite these challenges, UniCredit maintains a presence in Germany through its subsidiary HypoVereinsbank, which Orcel sees as complementary to Commerzbank’s operations. The Italian bank recently expanded its reach in Greece by acquiring a significant stake in Alpha Bank and is integrating its Romanian operations.
With a robust Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio above 16% in the first three quarters of the year, UniCredit appears well positioned to address potential takeover challenges. Fitch Ratings recently upgraded UniCredit’s long-term debt rating to BBB+, citing the bank’s successful restructuring and improved risk profile.
Orcel reassured stakeholders that UniCredit’s financial health positions it favorably in the event of a merger, stressing that although its CET1 ratio is stronger than that of Commerzbank, a thorough liquidity and risk assessment is essential before proceeding with any agreement.
As the situation evolves, Orcel reiterated that UniCredit’s commitment to Commerzbank depends on the potential for significant returns for investors. The bank remains committed to ensuring that any merger is aligned with its strategic objectives and delivers substantial benefits to its stakeholders.
In conclusion, while the prospect of a merger between UniCredit and Commerzbank looms, the outcome remains uncertain. Both banks will have to navigate a complex landscape of financial performance, regulatory scrutiny and market conditions as they evaluate next steps in this evolving narrative. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Agri-Food Marketing with Business Studies course is a conversion programme for students who have gained an HND/FdSc in Agri-food Marketing with Business Studies, or a related subject. This course will further enhance the student awareness, understanding and knowledge gained from the first two years of study. This will enable you to have a thorough understanding of the markets in which you are likely to be employed.
Assessment is via a balance of course work and examination. Students receive written feedback on all course work to help them improve. In addition, first year students undertake examinations in two subjects at the end of the first term to enable them to gauge how they are progressing and feedback is provided on these exams. Examples of assessments may include a group of 3 students present on a specific issue in food production – e.g. pesticide residues in crops / fresh produce – and how the relevant farm assurance schemes requirements effectively manages the risk to levels which remove the problem / risk from the food chain.

The investigation of neural interactions is crucial for understanding information processing in the brain. Recently an analysis method based on information geometry (IG) has gained increased attention, and the property of the pairwise IG measure has been studied extensively in relation to the two-neuron interaction. However, little is known about the property of IG measures involving more neuronal interactions. In this study, we systematically investigated the influence of external inputs and the asymmetry of connections on the IG measures in cases ranging from 1-neuron to 10-neuron interactions. First, the analytical relationship between the IG measures and external inputs was derived for a network of 10 neurons with uniform connections. Our results confirmed that the single and pairwise IG measures were good estimators of the mean background input and of the sum of the connection weights, respectively. For the IG measures involving 3 to 10 neuronal interactions, we found that the influence of external inputs was highly nonlinear. Second, by computer simulation, we extended our analytical results to asymmetric connections. For a network of 10 neurons, the simulation showed that the behavior of the IG measures in relation to external inputs was similar to the analytical solution obtained for a uniformly connected network. When the network size was increased to 1000 neurons, the influence of external inputs almost disappeared. This result suggests that all IG measures from 1-neuron to 10-neuron interactions are robust against the influence of external inputs. In addition, we investigated how the strength of asymmetry influenced the IG measures. Computer simulation of a 1000-neuron network showed that all the IG measures were robust against the modulation of the asymmetry of connections. Our results provide further support for an information-geometric approach and will provide useful insights when these IG measures are applied to real experimental spike data. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Providence, a gigantic non-profit health system with more than 50 hospitals in five Western states, describes itself as “steadfast in serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable.” According to a recent New York Times investigation, Providence has also preyed on those populations by using aggressive techniques to get payments from patients who should have been given free care. Those techniques, dubbed Rev-Up, were developed with the help of the consulting firm McKinsey, which the Times said was paid more than $45 million for its advice.
Now Providence is trying to repair the damage to its image. The Times reports that the health system is providing refunds to more than 700 low-income patients who were hounded into making payments for their care. Providence is not disclosing how much its is refunding, but the amount is likely to be a small fraction of what ruthless efforts such as Rev-Up brought in. A lawsuit filed by the Washington State Attorney General accuses Providence of improperly siccing debt collectors on more than 50,000 patients.
Failing to live up to its obligation to provide free care is just one of the ways in which Providence has acted as something less than a model non-profit institution. As documented in Violation Tracker, the health system has paid out more than $380 million in regulatory fines and class action settlements. These include cases involving issues such as wage theft, workplace safety and privacy. It has paid out over $28 million in False Claims Act cases, which involve submitting fraudulent bills to federal programs such as Medicare. Providence’s biggest payouts have involved cases in which it was accused of mismanaging employee retirement plans.
Providence is just one of dozens of large non-profit health systems that show up in Violation Tracker with large penalty totals from multiple cases. The system that tops the list is California-based Sutter Health, which has racked up $749 million in penalties from 46 cases. The largest of these was a $575 million settlement with the California Attorney General and other parties, which accused Sutter of engaging in anti-competitive practices that drove up healthcare costs. Sutter has also paid $170 million in False Claims Act cases.
Apart from Providence and Sutter, about 20 other non-profit health systems have paid out at least $50 million in penalties. These include Trinity Health ($328 million), RWJBarnabas Health ($277 million) and Northwell Health ($208 million). About 120 others have paid at least $1 million.
Many of these penalties result from a preoccupation with the bottom line, which leads the health systems to cut corners on compliance, shortchange their employees and cheat the government. The non-profit hospital systems may not have shareholders, but they seek to generate ever-larger surpluses that can be used for building new facilities and buying up competitors. Expansion seems to be the ultimate goal.
Their behavior makes them increasingly indistinguishable from the giant for-profit health chains HCA and Tenet, each of which has well over $1 billion in penalties. The difference, of course, is that the public is subsidizing the non-profits by relieving them of the obligation to pay taxes. The time has come to force the giant hospital systems such as Providence to focus less on empire-building and more on their social obligations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Over the past decade, the National Institute on Money in State Politics has built its Follow the Money database into an impressive resource for showing the influence of large corporations on state electoral campaigns. I have long wanted to create a comparable tool to track the flow of money in roughly the opposite direction: economic development subsidy awards from states to big business.
I am happy to announce that my colleagues and I at Good Jobs First have just introduced such a resource. Subsidy Tracker is the first national search engine for determining where a company has gotten economic development subsidies around the country. The database stitches together information from scores of different disclosure sources, many of them obscure reports and webpages. The subsidy programs covered include corporate income tax credits, property tax abatements, enterprise zone tax breaks, cash grants, reimbursement of worker training costs, and others.
In its initial form, the database contains information on more than 43,000 subsidy awards from 124 subsidy programs in 27 states; the number will soon jump to more than 64,000 in 34 states and will continue growing.
Here are some ways Subsidy Tracker can be used:
- To find companies that have received subsidies in many places. Currently, for instance, Wal-Mart shows up 69 times, trailed by Target at 45.
- To find companies that have gotten some very large individual subsidies. General Electric received a tax credit worth up to $115 million in Ohio in 2009.
- To find bad actors that have received subsidies. Super-polluter and climate denier Exxon shows up 23 times in Louisiana alone. The anti-union T-Mobile shows up eight times so far. Wall Street villain Goldman Sachs has received more than $124 million in tax credits and grants in Utah and New Jersey.
- To find good actors that have received subsidies. Flambeau River Papers, included on the American Rights at Work 2010 list of employers that “practice labor-management cooperation while creating pioneering solutions to the environmental challenges of the 21st century” shows up in Subsidy Tracker as having received a grant of $249,000 from Wisconsin in 2008.
- To find companies that have received subsidies in states where they have made substantial campaign contributions. Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland, which according to Follow the Money made more than $546,000 in campaign contributions in Illinois since 2003 (including those of its executives and employees), has received more than $87 million in enterprise zone tax credits in the state during the same period.
- To find companies that profess extreme laissez-faire views and then take subsidies. Koch Industries, whose owners bankroll the Tea Party movement, received two tax credits worth a total of more than $10 million from Oklahoma in the past year.
I’m sure researchers, journalists and others will think of many more ways to use the database. Each entry in Subsidy Tracker contains a link back to the original online source (except a limited number of cases in which the data we obtained is not posted on the web). Search results can be downloaded to a spreadsheet. For more on the data and how the site works, see the User Guide.
Good Jobs First introduced Subsidy Tracker along with two other resources: a report called Show Us the Subsidies, which evaluates the subsidy disclosure practices of the 50 states and the District of Columbia; and Accountable USA, a set of pages that review each state’s subsidy policies, describe large and controversial subsidy deals and provide other provocative information.
We hope all these tools help shine a light on the many excessive and ineffective subsidies that are going to large companies at a time when states and localities can ill afford the loss of what is estimated at $60 billion a year in public revenue.
Subsidy Tracker is a work in progress. In this first phase, we have focused on data sources that we discovered in preparing Show Us the Subsidies and Accountable USA. In the months ahead, we plan to go deeper by using freedom of information requests to obtain data not currently disclosed in any form.
I hope that Dirt Diggers Digest readers will find Subsidy Tracker to be a useful tool in your research. I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

DocMaps is a community-driven framework that will meet three key requirements for representations of editorial processes in a healthy publishing ecosystem:
Extensibility: the framework should be capable of representing a wide range of editorial process events, ranging from a simple assertion that a review occurred to a complete history of editorial comments on a document to a standalone review submitted by an independent reviewer
Machine-readability: the framework should be represented in a format (e.g. JSON-LD) that can be interpreted computationally and translated into visual representations.
Discoverability: the framework should be publishable such that events are queryable and discoverable via a variety of well-supported mechanisms.
In the summer and fall of 2020, a Technical Committee of leading publishers, technology and infrastructure developers, review services, taxonomy definers, and open science advocates convened to create an initial proposed Framework for DocMaps.
Starting in the spring of 2021, an informal Pilot Working Group formed out of the Technical Committee to implement a pilot version of Docmaps. The initial pilot focuses on using DocMaps to send information about community preprint evaluations from eLife’s Sciety aggregator and EMBO’s Early Evidence Base aggregator to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press’s biorxiv and medrxiv.
Thanks to new funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the DocMaps Implementation Group has expanded to develop a Software Development Kit (SDK) for creating and consuming DocMaps, support for more diverse types of evaluation processes, comprehensive documentation, mappings to common community standards and vocabularies, and support for anyone interested in using DocMaps in their projects.
See an example of DocMaps in action with our Demo Visualization Tool by visualizing the review process of any preprint deposited to Crossref.
We’re looking for other groups interested in implementing DocMaps: publishers of reviews, developers of publishing or reviewing platforms that are interested in generating DocMaps, and aggregation or database services that are interested in collecting or displaying them.
In addition to being able to offer technical support, we can also offer modest direct development funding for groups that need financial support to invest in DocMaps.
Editorial practices (ie, the processes, checks, and transformations that journals and publishing platforms apply to manuscripts, such as peer review, ethics checks, certification such as journal acceptance, etc) are highly heterogeneous, and will become even more so as scholarly publishing is disrupted by new innovations, the open science movement, and the removal of barriers to entry. Multiple initiatives to develop models describing peer review practices have emerged, including Transpose, Peer Review Transparency, Review Maps, and an STM Association working group.
These models are a positive development, but they are often narrowly focused on the needs of their creators, and as such do not fully accommodate the needs of readers, funders, and the scholarly publishing ecosystem as a whole. In particular, these efforts do not focus on representing editorial practices in ways that can be reliably aggregated, surfaced, and queried. Moreover, these efforts are often limited to traditional peer review processes, and do not capture the full range of editorial practices and events needed to accommodate a Publish-Review-Curate world where reviews can be conducted by multiple parties. To support this world, the community needs a machine-readable, discoverable, and extensible framework for representing and surfacing object-level review/editorial events.

Think fast: which dog breeds come to mind when you think “dangerous”? Rottweilers? Pit Bulls? German Shepherds? Now, what if I told you that a toy breed, like the Yorkshire Terrier, is included in that list by some people? Sounds ridiculous, right? But before you pass the idea off as unbelievable, let’s scrutinize the reality.
Yorkshire Terriers, they’re sassy and adorable, the quintessential lapdogs, they’re known for their long, luscious coat and bow-topped pooch look! But beneath that small and fluffy exterior, could there potentially be a hidden danger? Are these pint-sized furballs truly capable of being an intimidating force?
The notion that Yorkshire Terriers, fondly known as Yorkies, could be dangerous might seem preposterous to most, especially given their doll-like appearance. But let’s delve into the characteristics and behaviors of this breed to separate fact from fiction.
By nature, Yorkies are spunky, tenacious, and have rather strong personalities. They were originally bred in England during the 19th century for catching rats in mining pits. Hence, their bold and fearless streak. Today’s Yorkies haven’t fully abandoned these spirited traits, though they are undoubtedly more pampered and people-pleasing.
Nevertheless, Yorkies, like any breed, may exhibit aggression if they are not properly socialized or trained. Raised voices, sudden movements, or unfamiliar faces can trigger a defensive response in these little dogs, who might not understand they weigh only seven pounds. Some Yorkies are also known to suffer from Small Dog Syndrome, a set of behaviors often demonstrated by smaller breeds who feel the need to compensate for their size.
It’s important to clarify that “aggression” doesn’t always indicate danger. It certainly doesn’t mean that your Yorkie is naturally predisposed to pose a threat to you or others. Aggression is usually a defensive response triggered by fear, territorial instincts, or the need to establish dominance.
Now, let’s get something straight: aggression or assertiveness doesn’t equate to being dangerous. Wondering if a Yorkie could ever be considered dangerous poses the question — what constitutes a “dangerous” dog? Is it relative to their size, their breed, their training – or perhaps a combination of these?
Consider this: the American Temperament Test Society, which conducts temperament testing on dog breeds, gave Yorkies a pass rate of 86.8%, which is higher than some breeds considered more traditionally “dangerous”. So, despite their feisty personality, Yorkies hold up pretty well on the temperament scale.
One crucial element to consider when shaping a dog’s temperament is responsible ownership. Certain behaviors can be prevented, curbed, or mitigated through proper training and socialization. Yorkies, like any breed, need to be trained from an early age about acceptable and non-acceptable behaviors.
Does this mean you need to be on constant red alert for your Yorkie’s unanticipated attacks? Not at all! What it DOES mean is that training and good socialization are key to raising a well-behaved and friendly Yorkie.
How you raise and train your Yorkie will play a dramatic role in their demeanor and behavior as they age. A Yorkie who’s loved, well taken care of, expertly trained, and properly socialized, is far less likely to exhibit aggressive behavior.
The overall risk of a Yorkie being a dangerous dog is quite minimal. The likelihood of them causing serious harm is significantly lesser than larger, more powerful breeds. The most “dangerous” thing about your Yorkie is probably the risk of tripping over them!
All in all, while Yorkshire Terriers are vivacious and can be assertive, they are not inherently dangerous dogs. With correct upbringing, these little bundles of joy can be splendid, loyal companions providing endless entertainment and love.
However, it’s always wise to remember that every dog is a individual creature with its own quirks and characteristics. Labels and generalizations can be harmful and misleading. In the end, ownership, training, and understanding are what mold a dog’s behavior more than anything else – not the breed.
So, the next time someone wonders if your tiny Yorkshire Terrier is a dangerous dog, you can laugh it off knowing that the only danger they pose is stealing your heart with their endearing antics and roguish charm! So, embrace the spirit of this vivacious breed, foster their positive traits and curb negatives with effective training to enjoy the companionship of your Yorkie to the fullest. They’re small in size but overflowing with affection and loyalty, and that’s what truly makes them a big deal! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The term slot comes from tagmemics and denotes a specific grammatical function. It can be used to refer to a specialized area or job opening in a given language. A slot in a job description can mean the chief copy editor for a newspaper, for example, or an air-traffic authority’s slot.
A slot-based scheduling system can help organize multiple deadlines and support consistency across a workflow. It can be used to schedule meetings, consultations, evaluation reviews, and presentations between managers and teams. The time slots help to keep track of tasks, while ensuring that the team makes progress toward achieving a business goal.
Slot machines were initially installed in casinos as a diversion for casual gamers. The machine didn’t require any gambling knowledge, and even a novice could play with small bets. They soon became the “game of the town” and were responsible for 60 percent of all gaming revenue in the United States. Today, slot machines have become an integral part of casinos’ operations, generating billions of dollars annually.
A slot is a narrow opening. In addition to receiving things, a slot is a place or position within a series. It can also refer to a job opening or assignment. Even an airplane has a slot in its wing to improve airflow. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Even models and athletes have cellulite. It is not where Photoshop. It doesn’t matter, you are thin or fat – cellulite can catch you. Cellulite in light form – rather rules, than deviation. Define the phase of your cellulite and the reason. So it is easier to fight with him.
There is an analysis of hormones and visit a gynecologist-endocrinologist to help you. Cellulite can hit the body of the teenager in sexual maturation and the women after 40. But the older you are, then harder to win it, because the cells after fourteen years divide worse.
So, it is necessary to prepare previously. The ration of the women after 40 must be reducing the minimum on 1/3. By the way, using Dr. Helen Kirshner’s book Cellulite Disappear it is easier to fight with cellulite. There are complex of very effective measurements that gives an excellent result in fighting with cellulite in home conditions. Checked on own experience. Today even teenagers have cellulite. Why it appears and what to do?
13 reasons for appearing cellulite:
- Hormonal misbalance
- Violation of working thyroid and/or pancreas
- Dysfunction of ovaries
- Venous and lymphatic insufficiency (also varies)
- Mistake nutrition
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Sharp fluctuations in weight (especially with weight loss)
- Uncontrollable taking medication
- Partiality to cigarette and alcohol
The norm of drinking water – is 2 liters per day in intervals between eating. The most part of water should be drinking in the first half of the day in order to away swellings. It’s advisable to drink alkaline or ionized water, green tea, infusion of briar and oxygen cocktail.
Most suppose that the real enemy of cellulite – is an oily food. Partly it is so. But it’s only partly. Because the main source of hypodermic fat – is glucose: 50% of glucose settles in problem places. If you ate half a kilo of candy – so you gain 250 g of cellulite reserve. But here we have another rule. You ate candy – 25 squattings.
Starvation doesn’t help you with cellulite, but only worsens the situation. Starve organisms in shock state starts strenuously collect fat, using energy sparingly. Never starve. Stick to healthy nutrition. If you think, that sport instantly solves your problems, so you mistake.
Sport only promotes to improve the quality of your forms. But it is required. The main thing is to do training regularly. Do more movements. Walk a minimum of 20 minutes per day.
Yes and still necessary to use ant cellulite cream. But not fanatically and feverishly change one per another, but use one cream two-three months. Inflict cream necessary two times per day, on clear skin, massaging and patting problem places. And every three days do peeling the body.
You should forget stretch jeans. They visually make us slimmer, but occluded vessel sand reduced the blood supply to the skin. Remember about salon treatment. Best is manual massage in complex with vacuum techniques.
Forget about cigarettes and strong alcohol, bubbles, and beer. The maximum that you can – is a dry wine. And the most important and useful – is to accept and love yourself in your current state.
When you stop to swear and blame yourself, the organism stops feels permanently stress and guilt for its appearance… and start prettier on the eyes. Remember, doesn’t exist a single method to remove cellulite, but exist complex of measurements! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When you want to get into the world of sports betting, it’s important to choose a reputable sportsbook that is licensed in your state. You’ll also need to read the terms and conditions and look for a site that offers reasonable payout limits. A good sportsbook should also have a well-regarded reputation for customer service.
Sportsbooks can offer a variety of wagering options, and a variety of payment methods. Many of the top sportsbooks have competitive prices on spread favorites and totals, as well as a range of betting props. If you’re a high stakes gambler, you’ll also want to look for a sportsbook that offers high ceilings. This will ensure that you can make big profits.
Some of the best sportsbooks are also reputed for their high payout percentages, which can offset small returns. In addition, they are a great source for live in-play betting. Live in-play bets are typically available on sports games, such as football, hockey, basketball, and horse racing. They can also be placed on exotic bets, such as Asian handicaps.
SBOBET is an Asian sportsbook that provides a great value for punters. It’s also one of the most popular online bookmakers in the world. The website is user-friendly, with an intuitive layout. There’s a wealth of promotions and a mobile app to make putting your money to work as easy as possible.
While Sbobet is known for its high payouts and excellent customer service, its minimum withdrawal amounts can be a little higher than some other sportsbooks. Additionally, its deposit bonus is limited to certain countries, which is a drawback for new players. However, its promotions are usually generous, with occasional deposit bonuses and other promotional offers.
Another feature that makes SBOBET a top-of-the-line sportsbook is its ability to provide live streaming of sporting events. With more than 1500 events each week, the sportsbook offers a wide selection of live in-play betting opportunities. The desktop site is also easy to navigate.
One of the most important aspects of choosing an Asian sportsbook is its customer service. The top Asian sportsbooks often have staffs of several thousand people, which means that they can be available to answer questions promptly. Whether you have a question about a specific game or you want to know how much you can bet on a particular team, you’ll have no problem getting in touch with the right person.
A few of the other benefits of SBOBET include its mobile and WAP services, its comprehensive sports news section, and its sports blog. Although SBOBET isn’t as upscale as some other sportsbooks, its live video streaming of major sports games and other events is worth checking out. Plus, the site features a full sports blog for fans of any sport.
Sbobet has been in business for a few years. Users of the sportsbook claim that the website is reliable and offers a fast and simple process to place wagers. Several international organizations have partnered with Sbobet, making it one of the most popular online sportsbooks worldwide. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A sportsbook is a gambling establishment where people place wagers on different sporting events. It also accepts payments in various currencies and has customer support available 24/7. It offers multiple betting options, including futures bets and moneyline bets. It also offers a variety of special offers to its customers. A good sportsbook will offer competitive odds and lines to maximize profits for its customers.
Sportsbooks are regulated by state and federal laws, which means that they must follow a number of rules to ensure their integrity. These regulations include responsible gambling and age verification, which help to reduce the risk of gambling addiction. They must also use the best data sources and offer customer service that is reliable, friendly, and professional.
In addition, sportsbooks must be able to calculate the vig and make accurate predictions about the outcome of a game. To do so, they must have an in-depth understanding of the sports and the leagues they cover. For example, they must know how many points the winning team must score in a game, what time of day a game is played, and how teams play against each other.
A good sportsbook will have a strong social media presence, which allows it to engage with its customers and promote promotions and bonuses. In addition, it should have an attractive layout that is easy to navigate and has a user-friendly interface. It will also have a mobile-friendly website and apps. These features will attract new customers and keep existing ones happy.
Another important factor is the ease of financial transactions and low transaction charges. Sportsbooks that accept a wide range of banking options and offer fast withdrawal speeds are more likely to attract customers. They should also have chat and call support to resolve issues quickly.
Some sportsbooks feature celebrity endorsements from famous athletes and actors, which helps to bring sports gambling into pop culture and normalize it. This strategy has proved effective in attracting more players and increasing revenue. It is a great way to attract younger generations and increase brand awareness. Celebrities like Aaron Paul, Jamie Foxx, and Rob Gronkowski are often seen promoting sportsbooks on television.
A sportsbook should have a comprehensive database of information about the different sports that it covers, and it must be updated regularly. This way, it can provide the most up-to-date and complete information possible to its customers. This is particularly important for sportsbooks that offer futures bets.
A sportsbook’s odds are determined by a combination of market forces and the sportsbook’s own experience in the industry. For example, if a bet has heavy action on one side of the spread, the sportsbook may move the line to balance the action and minimize its liability. Similarly, the sportsbook may adjust its lines based on new information, such as injury or lineup news. This is known as handicapping the game. It is a process that can take hours and even weeks to perfect. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What Is a Coin?
A coin is a small piece of metal used as money. People use coins to buy things, like food or clothes. They are also used to play games, such as pinball or video games. Some coins have a picture of a person or animal on them. Other coins have a picture of a building or other object. Some coins have text, called inscriptions. A coin can be made of gold, silver, copper or another metal. People also make paper money. It is important to know how to recognize and identify different kinds of coins.
The United States Mint makes coins for the country’s banks and for everyday use. The Mint designs the coins before they are made. The government tells the Mint what to put on the coins, such as people or places. Congress passes laws that make new coins.
Before a coin is made, the Mint artist draws a sketch of what it will look like. The artist then uses the sketch to sculpt a 3-D clay or digital model of the coin. The Mint then transfers the design to a stamp, which is metal. The stamp is then used to make the coins. The Mint also tests the coin to see if it works.
In the United States, a coin is in circulation when people use it to pay for goods and services. People give the coins to each other when they are paying. They get passed around to several people before they end up back at the bank or store. The Mint makes new coins each year, but they only make up less than 20% of the total number of coins in circulation. The rest of the coins come from old ones being reused, and from people saving them in piggy banks or other containers.
People collect coins as a hobby. Some collectors collect all types of coins, while others focus on a particular type of coin. The value of a coin depends on its condition, specific historical significance, rarity, beauty and other factors. Some coins, such as bullion coins, have no face value and are only valuable for the amount of metal they contain.
A coin that is no longer in circulation can be called a junk coin. It is not worth much to someone who wants to buy it. If the coin is very old, it may have corrosion or damage that affects its value. Some coins are no longer made because of changes in the economy or population.
A cryptocurrency is a token that can be used to hold or transfer value on a blockchain network. There are many cryptocurrencies that have been designed to be useful, such as bitcoin and ether. Other cryptocurrencies have been designed to be investment vehicles. People should be cautious about investing in a coin that does not have a clear purpose. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Retrospective on the PATCO Strategy
No Access Until
[Excerpt] The destruction of PATCO has been written off by most labor leaders as the inevitable result of an ill-conceived challenge to an anti-union U.S. President. Although there is widespread sympathy for the rank and file members who lost their jobs in an attempt to exercise collective bargaining rights in the best tradition of the U.S. labor movement, there is at the same time much disdain for the actions of the national officers of PATCO, most notably President Bob Poli. Although the criticisms of the officers are at least partially valid, it is important to recognize that the strategic miscalculations they made were by no means unique. It is even more important to give PATCO's leaders and members credit for the implementation of a brilliantly conceived internal organizing campaign. Critics of PATCO conveniently forget that it was a small union by AFL-CIO standards, with only 15,000 members. Furthermore, the membership was scattered across the country in some 400 different facilities. Although the regional flight control centers typically employed 200 to 400 air traffic controllers, the majority of PATCO members worked in airport towers and belonged to small locals. Under the circumstances, preparing for a possible strike was a logistical nightmare. The legal prohibition of job actions by federal employees made the task all the most difficult. PATCO's ability to stage a strike which was supported by 75 percent of its members even after President Reagan's firing deadline had passed was a truly remarkable feat. Unfortunately the internal organizing consumed virtually all of the attention of the national officers, and the strike was lost because of flaws in other aspects of the union's strategy. PATCO's failure can be directly traced to the fact that its unsuccessful external relations were poor, and political activities were misguided. Another crucial weakness was a lack of understanding of economic factors, which led PATCO to overestimate its own strength. Because of the high visibility of the strike, these mistakes were magnified to such a degree that PATCO's officials were widely criticized (even within the labor movement) as bullheaded, inept, misguided, foolhardy, and worse. Because the flaws in PATCO's strategy are not unique, it would be a mistake to ignore the experiences of this feisty little union. In the discussion that follows, the various aspects of PATCO's approach are considered with particular attention to the specific lessons which can be drawn from the experience. The most important and least discussed contribution of PATCO was its internal organizing program. After reviewing the implementation of this most positive part of the PATCO game plan, the discussion will turn to the components which were not handled as effectively. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
According to Kearney‘s latest Global Retail Development Index (GRDI), the MENA region is emerging as a dominant force in the retail industry. The GRDI is a bi-yearly survey that identifies the most promising retail markets worldwide, and it highlights the MENA region’s upward trajectory in global retail development. Notably, Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in the rankings, jumping nine points to secure the third position in the survey.
The Kingdom benefits from a young demographic, a growing adoption of technology, and ambitious government plans, all of which contribute to a thriving retail environment. This positive development reflects the Kingdom’s strategic shift away from oil dependence, which currently makes up around 40 percent of its GDP. Additionally, the establishment of a favorable business climate has further supported this upward trend. Also, the Kingdom’s strategic reforms have created fertile ground for promoting innovation and growth in the retail sector.
Saudi Arabia’s remarkable ascent in the GRDI rankings can be attributed to several significant factors:
- Accomplishing substantial growth in the employment of Saudi nationals in high-skilled positions and surpassing the targets set by Vision 2030. Additionally, there has been a doubling of female workforce participation, further contributing to the nation’s progress.
- Witnessing a significant increase in non-cash retail transactions, which rose from 16 percent in 2016 to 62 percent in 2022. The country aims to further elevate this figure to 70 percent by 2030.
- Experiencing a surge in the popularity and adoption of Buy Now Pay Later services, with domestic providers Tamara and Tabby leading the way in this domain.
- Noteworthy growth in investment deals (95 percent) and licenses (267 percent) in 2022, indicating a robust economic climate and attracting more business opportunities.
- Witnessing the integration of digital technology and AI within the Saudi consumer market, with the rapid adoption of mobile commerce and AI-powered experiential retail.
- The entry of international brands and the expansion of the entertainment and lifestyle sectors, indicating a thriving retail environment in the country.
Debashish Mukherjee, partner at Kearney Middle East & Africa – Consumer & Retail Practice Lead, stated, “The MENA region, and notably the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are at the forefront of retail’s next wave of growth. The 2023 GRDI illustrates how these markets are redefining the retail ecosystem with strategic digital adoption and consumer-centric approaches.”
Furthermore, Mukherjee added, “Saudi Arabia’s impressive rise in this year’s GRDI is a clear indicator of its dynamic retail environment and its strategic initiatives to foster a competitive and diverse economic landscape.”
The GRDI evaluates the retail potential of 35-40 emerging economies based on various criteria such as economic health, consumer wealth, and regulatory framework. Moreover, it serves as a valuable resource for retailers seeking to navigate the complexities and seize opportunities in these emerging markets.

Certainty vs. Severity Revisited: Evidence for Colombia
Daniel Mejia () and
Angela Zorro M. ()
Authors registered in the RePEc Author Service: Angela Zorro Medina
No 14634, Documentos CEDE from Universidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDE
A recurring debate in the literature on crime control is whether an increase in the probability of punishment is a more effective deterrent than an increase in the severity of the sanction. This paper further explores this issue in the context of crime in Colombia. We use a natural policy experiment (the introduction of the Adversarial System of Criminal Justice) to estimate how changes in the costs associated with criminal activity have affected crime rates in the country. The results show that for the Colombian case, when a reform reduces the probability of punishment it leads to an increase in crime rates across a variety of different types of criminal activity, including both violent crimes and property theft. Moreover, our evidence suggests that changes in the probability of punishment have greater impact in crime rates than changes in its severity. This has important implications for public policy regarding crime rates and the design of judicial mechanisms.

In the world of educational marketing, email continues to be a predominant tool for reaching and engaging educators. However, navigating the complex environment of school and district email systems is no easy feat. With heightened security measures against malware and spam, educational marketers face unique challenges. Here are some essential tips to ensure your email promotions resonate effectively with educators.
The Power of Email in Education
Email promotions remain the most effective way to engage educators, yet crafting the right message is increasingly challenging due to heightened security in school email systems.
Targeting is Key
In today's email marketing landscape, the mantra is to target, target, target. Blasting emails to millions is no longer effective. MCH Strategic Data can assist you in precisely targeting your campaigns to reach the right educators, making every email count.
Security Alertness in Schools
Schools and districts are particularly vigilant against cyber threats, leading to robust email filtering systems. This environment requires marketers to be mindful and strategic in their email campaigns.
Navigating Email Filters
Randomizing your email list order and throttling sends over several days can help your messages avoid being flagged by district servers that handle a high volume of emails.
Compliance with Email Services
Every email should be run through a reputable spam identification service to ensure compliance with the strict filters employed by schools and districts.
Quality Email Lists for Better Engagement
The success of your email campaign heavily relies on the quality of your list. MCH Strategic Data offers high-quality, permission-passed teacher email lists that are regularly validated and purged of unresponsive contacts. This ensures your messages reach the right educators, enhancing both deliverability and engagement.
Upcoming Changes in Email Standards
Starting February 2024, Gmail will implement new requirements for bulk senders, including strong email authentication, one-click unsubscription, and adherence to spam rate thresholds. These measures will help ensure that emails reach their intended recipients and that unwanted messages are minimized. MCH is aligned with these changes, ensuring your campaigns meet these evolving standards. Learn more about these updates here.
Monitoring email engagement is crucial. Marketers need to adjust their strategies in real-time if their original message isn’t resonating with recipients.
Leveraging Engagement Data
MCH tracks engagement levels for every email sent, allowing marketers to focus on responsive addresses and drop non-performers, thus increasing engagement and responsiveness.
Optimizing for Engagement
Beyond deliverability and open rates, focusing on engagement such as click-throughs and minimizing spam reports is crucial for a successful campaign. MCH can help marketers refine their strategies to maximize engagement and impact.
In conclusion, successful email campaigns in the educational sector require a blend of strategic planning, adherence to security protocols, and a focus on engagement and quality. By utilizing MCH Strategic Data's expertise and resources, educational marketers can navigate these challenges and effectively reach their target audience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Numerical estimation of the geometry and temperature of an alternating current steelmaking electric arc
A channel arc model (CAM) that predicts the temperature and the geometry of an electric arc from its voltage and impedance set-points is presented. The core of the model is a nonlinear programming (NLP) formulation that minimizes the entropy production of a plasma column, the physical and electrical properties of which satisfy the Elenbaas–Heller equation and Ohm's law. The radiative properties of the plasma are approximated utilizing the net emission coefficient (NEC), and the NLP is solved using a global numerical solver. The effects of the voltage and impedance set-points on the length of the electric arc are studied, and a linear formula that estimates the length of the arc in terms of its electrical set-points is deducted. The length of various electric arcs is measured in a fully operative electric arc furnace (EAF), and the results are used to validate the proposed models. The errors in the predictions of the models are 0.5 and 0.4 cm. In comparison, the existing empirical and Bowman formulae estimate the length of the experimental arcs with errors of 2.1 and 2.6 cm. A simplified formula to estimate the temperature of an electric arc in terms of its electrical set-points is also presented.

If you’ve ever had a series of bright, flickering lights gradually obscure your vision and then go away, you might have had an ocular migraine.
We typically think of migraines as the painful headaches that affect about 10 percent of the U.S. population, but the visual distortions that come with ocular migraines aren’t always related to head pain. There are three main categories of ocular migraine.
Migraine With Aura
About 20 percent of people who suffer migraine headaches will experience visual distortions in both eyes as one of the warning symptoms of an upcoming migraine. If this sounds familiar and you haven’t discussed it with a doctor, schedule an appointment.
You may be able to reduce the frequency of your migraines by avoiding triggers such as stress, certain foods, and sudden bright lights. Smoking and oral contraceptives may act as triggers as well.
The most dangerous form of ocular migraine is a retinal migraine. Like an aura accompanying a migraine, a retinal migraine will usually occur before a bad headache sets in, but the difference is that the visual distortions are only in a single eye.
Retinal migraines are the rarest form of ocular migraine, but if you’ve experienced them, you should definitely see a doctor, because they are usually caused by a more serious condition.
Painless Ocular Migraine
In some cases, ocular migraines can occur without any accompanying headache. These typically involve a widening blurry patch in your vision that is surrounded by bright, flickering lights. This will gradually spread to cover the entire field of vision, taking between a few minutes and half an hour, before going away on its own.
The visual disruption may be the only symptom, but sometimes it’s accompanied by other sensory, speech, or motor problems. A painless ocular migraine might be scary the first time it happens. If one starts coming on while you’re driving, pull over until it passes, and it may be best to lie down and relax. While these ocular migraines are usually harmless, it’s a good idea to schedule an eye exam, just in case.

DUO CUP QUALIFIER 1
Posted on: January 7, 2020 in News by AiroOG
ShareRound 1 Qualifying
We kicked off the new season with an EPS Fortnite Duo Cup hosting our first round of the tournament. We had an astonishing number of 100 players registered in under 20 minutes to compete in 5 competitive games. Firstly we would like to thank each and everyone one of you interested in our Tournament.
It was a close call midway tournament between Team Eclipse and Team Cracked Kids; then we saw a sweep of points coming in from Team Poke. Final Standings are below:
Hear from Team Eclipse on some advice and how it was competing in the tournament.
- What were your thoughts going into this?
- Syco: Our thoughts were very confident as we just clutched up in the ATK tourney by Wining two games in a row. Also we knew we had to get a good first game . We also knew there were going to be 100 players and that we enjoy more stacked games
- Voltzz: Syco and I were pretty confident after winning the last 2 games of the ATK tournament, so we knew we had to keep it up and we could win the EPS qualifying. We both preferred stacked tourneys over non-stacked (ATK) so we knew we could do well.
- In Game 3 we saw a bad game, how did you get back from this?
- Syco: We got back by making sure our mid game rotation was not where majority of the server will be or where alot of the players are rotating. So we took the less congested side and just got a better position and looked for mid game picks and try get full placement
- Voltzz: We got super unlucky and I got knocked instantly from 170hp by people using a AUG and purple pistol and shooting at the same time. So we could not do much about it but we learnt from it the best we could.
- Any advice to upcoming competitive players?
- Syco: Upcoming competitive players must grind as much as they can in order to get the game sense in terms of what to do in many situations. If one does bad in 1 tourney don’t give up. Go back and look where and what u did wrong and try fix that. Also make sure you have set plans and backups In case it’s not working out. Try not to be nervous
- Voltzz: Sitting in creative and box fighting all day is not necessarily going to get you where you want to be. VOD reviewing and learning from your mistakes in EVERY single game you play and don’t blame anything on bad luck. Having good mechanics is just a base, but choosing how you actually play in scrims is what matters.
Round 1 was just the beginning. Get ready to compete in our next round on the 10 January 2020. For more details on the tournament click here

The National Chairman of the largest opposition, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johson Asiedu Nketia has said, all efforts to create division in the NDC by their opponents have proven unsuccessful.
According to him, the commentary and publications surrounding who becomes the running mate of NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama are just an “ugly cacophony”.
“There is nothing like any debate about any running mate that I am aware of, I just ignore the noise that is going around because there is nothing. I strongly believe that our opponents want to push some artificial controversy within our system hoping that it will be something that will be divided around and we will be fighting but so far they haven’t succeeded” General Mosquito said.
It was alleged that former President John Dramani Mahama has settled on former Minister for Education, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, as his running mate for the 2024 presidential elections.
But Asiedu Nketia said, the NDC has their own systems for choosing a running mate and nothing can change that.
“Our systems for choosing a running mate are never in doubt, and they are there, they have delivered. And so we are relying on that system to deliver” He stated.
General Mosquito as affectionately called indicated that the social media discussion on who to be a running mate is just a noise.
“The procedure doesn’t include debate in the media about who is strong, who is tall, who is weak, who is male, who is female and all these things people are just making noise to satisfy themselves” He added.
He stressed that nothing can make the NDC change their constitution on how to choose a running mate.
“We have a system of selecting our running mate which has been delivered and we have had no reason to amend our constitution to change it so we are relying on that system to deliver a running mate for us for the 2024 elections” Asiedu Nketia stressed.
He explained that their system of selecting a running mate allows the flagbearer to propose his or her choice of running mate for evaluation.
“What is the system? Our system provides a lot of space for the person who has been elected as a flagbearer, to have a strong input of his choice of running mate. So we allow the flagbearer to propose somebody for us and then we act like in our traditional setting where a Queen Mother or somebody proposes a name to the kingmakers then they will evaluate the choice if there is something wrong with it, if there is overwhelming rejection. We don’t go out there to propose our choice, we tell the Queen Mother this choice is not acceptable. Can you bring another person? that is how the NDC system works” Asiedu Nketia explained. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Medicare vs Medicaid
Senior Product Specialist, John Shinn discusses the differences between Medicare and Medicaid
Hey everybody, it’s John, here at Empower Brokerage again. There’s another great question of that comes up a lot this time of year, and that’s, what’s the difference between Medicare vs Medicaid?
These are two really distinct, different government run programs: Medicare and Medicaid.
They have been around a long time. They were initially started in 1965 while President Lyndon Johnson was president. It was part of a grand vision, if you will, to take care of elderly, and really sick people, who could either not qualify for private insurance, or couldn’t pay for private insurance. It was a big deal in 1965 to come up with these great programs to help this particular part of our society.
The important thing to note here, is that Medicaid is not the same thing as Medicare. Medicare is a federal program only that provides health insurance and health coverage, for people age 65 and older, and for certain people with disabilities. When we think of Medicare, we think of when you turn 65. It’s part of an entitlement program that we all pay into. You could see 25 year old people and 45 year old people on Medicare with with serious illnesses. This program of Medicare comes in to help pay for that.
Medicaid is different than Medicare. It is a state and federal program that provides coverage for very low income people in our society. If you’re eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, in other words, if you worked enough hours (40 quarters to qualify for Medicare) and you’re eligible for Medicaid because of your low income, that is what we call ‘low’ or ‘dual eligible’. You’ll hear that terminology. And that’s a program for if you have dual eligibility you qualify for Medicare and Medicaid then you’re going to be well taken care of. you’re going to have very good health coverage and that’s important. We think as a society to help take care of we all pitch in and contribute for the well-being of all the other citizens that we have in our country which is really a great thing that we have today.
So to figure out whether or not you qualify for Medicaid, it’s really very easy. You can go to SocialSecurity.gov, Medicare.gov, or to your local Social Security office where you can talk to somebody. Knowledgeable insurance agents are also good people to help you locate these documents to see if you qualify.
I hope that helps a little bit with all of the difference in Medicare and Medicaid. There’s quite a bit quite a bit to know about them but those are the basics.

Sugar is one of the most addicting things many people become dependent on without realizing it. Although we have all grown up loving sugar, there are many reasons to give up it today. The major reason is definitely your health. Sugar is the key factor to almost all health issues these days. It can suppress your immune system, upset your body’s mineral balance, speed the aging process, causing grey hair and wrinkles, cause kidney damage, contribute to diabetes and osteoporosis, and many more. Below is the list of a few crucial reasons to give up sugar for good.
1. Sugar makes your skin look older
I was astonished to find out that sugar can make a person age faster. The thing is, sugar can disrupt the hormones as well as encourage free radicals that are responsible for aging, illness, and destruction of the DNA. Give up sugar today to look a bit younger tomorrow.
2. Highly addictive
Another crucial reason to give up sugar as soon as possible is because it’s very addictive. It was proven that sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine, which means the more you consume it, the more you want it. I don’t know about you, but for me, it sounds a bit terrifying.
3. It can cause weight gain
Not only does sugar promote tooth decay and provide quick highs and lows, it also offers nothing but plenty of empty calories. If you are on a diet and you are trying to drop several unwanted pounds, you need to consume only natural sugar. Though, it doesn’t mean you should eat a lot of sugar if you are trying to gain weight. Sugar is not good for you no matter what your fitness goal is.
4. Mood swings
Sugar can also cause mood swings. When you consume sugar, your blood sugar spikes and then drops quickly once you have burned it. It impacts your metabolism, your mood and your overall health. If you experience frequent mood swings during the day, try to eliminate sugar from your diet and see what happens.
5. Sugar makes you hungrier
The more sugar you consume, the hungrier you feel. From my personal experience I can say that it’s true. Have you ever noticed that you feel hungry after eating your breakfast? That’s because you eat a lot of sugar in the morning. You may crave sweet, sugary foods, and everything that has sugar in it and that are packed with empty calories you don’t need.
6. It suppresses your immune system
Eating sugar suppresses your immune system and makes your body more susceptible to some diseases, including cold and flu. Numerous studies show that a body with a lower pH is the best environment for cancer to grow in. So if you are trying to boost your immune system and prevent cancer, you should start with quitting sugar first.
7. It can make you feel foggy
We are all running around with a great amount of things to do each day. Feeling foggy is certainly the last thing we need, but did you know that consuming sugar can actually cause the brain fog? I think this is a sound reason to give up sugar today.
8. It doesn’t contain any vitamins or minerals
As I said before, sugar is simply empty calories. It doesn’t contain any vitamins and minerals. Most high-sugar foods such pastries, candy bars and sodas contain very little nutrients. If you consume them regularly, you might become deficient in some important nutrients.
Most of us know that too many sweets can cause weight gain and numerous health issues, so why not give up sugar for good to feel better and healthier? Opt for natural sugar and eliminate processed sugar from your diet. The results will greatly astonish you! Are you going to give up sugar? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Gulf of Naples is a large inlet of the Tyrrhenian Sea, located south of the city of Naples, between the Phlegraean peninsula to the north-west and the Sorrento peninsula to the south. It preserves treasures that you cannot fail to know. Testimonies of the past and hopes for a beautiful future.
What are the cultural jewels that characterize the Gulf of Naples?
Bacoli. Mirabilis swimming pool
A magnificent gothic cathedral built underground. There Piscina Mirabilis it is the largest fresh water cistern built by the Romans. (over 70 meters long). It was used to supply the Miseno fleet.
Capo Miseno. Shrine of the Augustales
Capo Miseno was the seat of the most powerful Roman fleet. Here Pliny the Elder was a victim of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Majestic buildings such as the Sacello and the underground port testify to this greatness.
Naples. National archeologic museum
Called sing sing, like the American prison. It is the deposit that collects all that the Man, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, one of the most important and beautiful in the world, fails to exhibit to the public.
Herculaneum. archaeological park
Herculaneum, the other city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius is in the middle of the ford. An example: the Treasure of Herculaneum, stolen in 1990 and recovered by the police remains locked in a vault. Now we are hoping for the 25 million euros made available by David W. Packard, an American patron who fell in love with the site.
Herculaneum. Villa Campolieto
The Golden Mile traditionally indicates the approximately 1.800 meters of road between Herculaneum and Torre del Greco. Defined in this way at the time of the Bourbons, it collects some of the most beautiful eighteenth-century villas. Villa Campolieto, Vialla Favorita and Villa Aprile in Herculaneum, Palazzo Vallelonga and Villa Mennella in Torre del Greco. A unique show in the Gulf of Naples.
Bay. Submerged Archaeological Park
A few meters deep you can see some wonderful finds. Whole mosaics covered by the waters. Result of the phenomenon of bradyseism discovered in the 70s. Also in this case a unique heritage.
Bay. Aragonese castle
The Aragonese Castle houses the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegraean Fields where, among other things, some of the artifacts recovered at sea are preserved. A jewel that was built on a Roman villa. But some rooms are closed to the public due to a lack of staff.
The new lighting system has just been inaugurated which allows, for now, to visit the Archaeological Park of Pompeii twice a week even at night. And the "Cave canem", a symbol of Pompeii and in the past also of its decay, has now been restored and makes a fine show of itself. It is the demonstration that change is possible. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Ceiling heating of summer terrace of the bar.
The owners of cafés, bars and restaurant, as nobody understands, how it is important to care about your clients, to provide their comfort at any season. Besides the qualitative cuisine and service, it’s necessary always remember about the question of heating the café. Its importance is beyond a doubt, indeed the heating system in any premise, where constantly people are, is considerable and necessary item of spends, which wants to cut without the loss of quality. The heating of the bar, even not big, as a rule begins from the question of choice the heating method.
It’s possible to rely on convective systems or system of central heating, if it functions in your premise, however the result, which you’ll get, hardly will be positive. Such heating systems, for today, don’t considered the most effective, because in time of heating the café they heat the air, which is easily rises and goes away in slits. We propose really economic method, which will provide the high level of warming up of the premise in case of expenses, which are on 40% less then at using of traditional systems of heating. The heating of the bar will become the pleasant process, which doesn’t require the constant intervention.
The infrared heating is a choice in favor of modern, effective, qualitative and economic method of heating. IR rays can realize the heating of café in different zones, where people can relax under pleasant soft warmth of natural origin.
Separately we should touch the moment, concerning the heating of the summer terrace. The infrared heaters Teplov, installed after clear thermal calculations, help considerably to cut the heat losses, which are usually exist at the semi-opened space. The heating of the restaurant with a help of infrared radiation supposes direct impact to all subjects, which are in the field of these actions. This method of heating acts in a such way, that even man can feel IR rays. Just due to this, infrared heating of summer terrace will be noticeable already after 10-20 minutes of work from the moment of start.
The heating of the café includes the choice, installation and start of the infrared heating system. All this perform our specialists with a long-term experience. We’ll find the approach to each client with a pleasure, because IR heaters – is a possibility of creation personal and unique system of heating. The heating of summer terrace of bar “Shalenyi Rover” in Cherkassy city is the bright example of such approach, and also using of IR heaters in the quality of the main heating for creation of comfortable atmosphere in the place, where people relax. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I found this week’s EUT a while ago, but somehow never got around to writing about it. Like a few other of my past posts, if you take a perfectly innocuous animal and make it huge, it slips right into the ugly category. On a side note, I’m surprised how few crustaceans I’ve written about so far.

I suppose I could also define its habitat more precisely, as they prefer clean, wooded rivers, and the juveniles are mostly found in headwater streams. Like most crayfish1, the Giant Crayfish is omnivorous, or, as this site states: “Their diet consists mainly of decaying wood, but they will also consume leaves, small fish, and rotting flesh.”
As a general rule, as a species gets larger, it takes longer to reach sexual maturity, and this is no exception. It takes males nine years and females fourteen years before they’re able to make little Giant Crayfish, and they can live up to 40 years. This, coupled with the completely unsurprising problem of overharvesting, has lead to their decline in numbers, and subsequent listing. The problem of habitat loss exists for the Giant Crayfish, just like it shows up for most headwater species.
Tasmania is doing commendably well in terms of conservation efforts. It has been illegal to collect a Giant Crayfish since 1995, and there have been habitat conservation programs and education programs running around the island in an attempt to save these cute little massive crayfish.
1I know, I know, not a fish. A lot of the Australian sources are calling it a lobster, and I suppose I could always resort to “crawdad,” but I’ve always called them crayfish, and never thought of them as fish. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Maintenance Cases backlog in Bloemfontein
Triage - separating simple and complex cases
Maintenance has been identified as a necessary component of any effort to fight GBVF. The Bloemfontein court deals with about 300 cases per month, which is about 15-20 cases per court day. Because new cases are added every day, the finalisation rate will fluctuate. The goal was to have each case finalised within 30 days. Before the 100-days, on average, only 51% of the cases were finalised within a month; this finalisation rate was also the reason for the backlog, with some cases being older than 6 months.
Insights from the team
- A few complex cases were clogging the system. Handling these in a separate queue created system efficiencies.
- Only add cases that were ready for court to the court roll.
- Court clerk plays a critical role in system efficiency, they need to be trained and empowered.
- Initially, there was resistance based on fairness – we cannot jump the queue, etc. but we had to reassure people that the triage would speed up the process for all cases. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tagliafico arrived from Argentina's Club Atlético Independiente in early January, 2018. He made his debut appearance on 21 January that year, in the home fixture against Feyenoord (2-0). In his first season playing for Ajax, Tagliafico eventually appeared fifteen times, scoring once; at home against sc Heerenveen on 11 March 2018 (4-1).
The 2018/2019 season became turned out to be Tagliafico's most successful. The left-back was, for instance, part of the successful UEFA Champions League squad and was instrumental in their amazing journey through Europe. The Argentinian was a force to be reckoned with, thanks to his strength and attack mindset, and scored three goals in the UEFA Champions League; two in the home game against AEK Athens and another also on home turf in the spectacular game against FC Bayern Munich.
Tagliafico was also of great value to the Amsterdam side at the domestic level. During the semi-finals of the Dutch cup, away to Feyenoord (3-0), the Argentinian scored the all-important second goal for Ajax just after half time. Tagliafico eventually won the double that season with Ajax, scoring twice in the Eredivisie — at home against ADO (5-1) as well as away to De Graafschap in the cup game (4-1).
Next season, Tagliafico scored again in the UEFA Champions League. This time in the preliminary round against PAOK Thessaloniki (3-2), as well as in the group stages against the French side, Lille. He put the ball into the net twice in that competition. In the meantime, the popular Argentinian has become a public favourite in Amsterdam thanks to his playing style, fighting spirit and dedication, and in April 2020 he extended the contract binding him to Ajax until the summer of 2023.
In his penultimate season, Tagliafico won the double for the second time with Ajax. He scored just once that season, away to PEC Zwolle (2-0). The Argentinian also played throughout the European championship, where Ajax eventually lost on aggregate against AS Roma in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
In 2022, Tagliafico became a champion with Ajax for the third time in his career. He scored playing away to Fortuna Sittard and notched up his final goal for Ajax in the championship game at home against sc Heerenveen.
Ahead of the home fixture with RKC Waalwijk on 6 March, 2022, the defender was very much in the spotlight because it would be his 150th official match for the Ajax first team. Tagliafico eventually made 169 official appearances for the Ajax main squad and scored sixteen goals. The Argentine international was a national champion three times with Ajax (2019, 2021 and 2022) and held the Dutch cup aloft twice - in 2019 and in 2021. He even won the Johan Cruijff Shield in 2019. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The research, funded by the Morris Animal Foundation, has
been published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.
Pneumonia is a leading cause of disease and death in foals
and there is currently no effective vaccine licensed. The bacterium Rhodococcus
equi (R. equi), a bacterium that occurs naturally in soil, is implicated in the
most severe cases in horses.
Unfortunately, current methods of screening for R. equi are
imprecise and so many foals are treated with antibiotics, even though they
would not have developed pneumonia. A combination of antibiotics is commonly
used, such as azithromycin (a macrolide antimicrobial, which important for
human use) and rifampin.
"While that treatment strategy saves lives in the short
term, it's really driving this resistance problem because for every one foal
that needs treatment, you treat several foals that don't need treatment,"
said Dr. Noah Cohen, the Patsy Link Chair in Equine Research at Texas A&M
University, a primary investigator of the study, along with his colleague
Steeve Giguère (deceased). "For the sake of foals, we want to offer
veterinarians a better, non-traditional option."
For the study, the team screened 57 foals from four farms in
central Kentucky for subclinical pneumonia, then divided the foals into three
equal groups. Two groups contained foals with subclinical pneumonia, meaning
ultrasound scans found lesions on their lungs but the foals had no clinical
signs. All foals lived on farms with positive cases of R. equi pneumonia that
year. Those groups were given either a combination of azithromycin and rifampin
(MaR) or GaM for two weeks.
The third group served as a control group and was made up of
healthy foals that were the same age as the subclinically affected foals in the
two treatment groups. They were monitored and not given any treatment.
After two weeks, researchers analysed faecal samples from
each foal. DNA tests revealed that the MaR treated group had an increase in
both the number and diversity of antibiotic-resistant genes in the bacteria.
Most alarming was the discovery that the bacteria were resistant to multiple
drugs and antibiotics. The GaM treated and control groups showed no change in
the number or diversity of resistance genes, a positive finding.
The team also experimentally infected soil plots with
resistant and non-resistant strains of R. equi to see how foals might
contaminate their environment with their excrement that can contain unabsorbed
and metabolized antibiotics. MaR tended to reduce the number of bacteria in a
plot's soil but increase the proportion that were resistant.
Dr. Cohen said one of his team's next steps is to test the
effectiveness of GaM on foals that are clinically infected with R. equi.
"The widespread use of antibiotics has consequences and
we really need to be prudent in prescribing them," said Dr. Janet
Patterson-Kane, Morris Animal Foundation Chief Scientific Officer.
"Gallium maltonate may be an excellent alternative and we hope, if proven
fully effective, that it could be put into regular use."

Seeing the Unseen: Incorporating Dynamics for the Understanding and Prediction of Macromolecular Properties
The passing of time is a constant. In the same way that time shapes our everyday lives, it also plays an essential role in the microscopic universe through its translation into macromolecular dynamics. Proteins, in particular, visit a variety of short-lived - or metastable - states, and the conformations and rate of transitions between these states dictate their function in the cell. However, many of these alternative states are not accessible to established biophysical techniques, such that many puzzling results and challenges arise when trying to use these static observations to understand and predict their properties. In this dissertation, we emphasize the importance of accessing and characterizing the intrinsic dynamics of these macromolecules through the application of computational techniques in four distinct projects that allow us to observe molecular motion at the atomic level to widen our understanding of their function, and furthermore enable us to make predictions on properties that would be inaccessible from static models. In conjunction with experimental validation, we study the role of electrostatic interactions in mediating the allosteric activation of Protein Kinase A, an ubiquitous enzyme involved in key signal transduction pathways, as well as develop a methodology that incorporates dynamic descriptors to improve the efficiency of the challenging process of novel protein design. Additionally, through the application of the exciting Markov State Model methodology to access longer timescales than typically available to computational simulations, we help set the stage for the interpretation of a novice experimental technique, diffuse scattering, in terms of atomic motions in crystalline environments, and explore the conformational landscape of the essential tumor suppressor p53 and its cancer-related mutant Y220C, which leads to the identification of a novel cryptic pocket. These test cases present significant advances to our understanding of protein dynamics in fields as varied as protein design and cancer therapeutics, and taken together, stress the necessity of putting time, and dynamics, in the center stage of protein study. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Oshkosh Defense is continuing to pick up orders for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), despite the US Army awarding its follow-on JLTV A2 contract to AM General in February 2023.
On 1 December 2023 Oshkosh Defense announced that the Israeli Ministry of Defense had placed two orders for JLTVs for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with 75 purchased via the US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) mechanism and dozens more purchased as a direct commercial sale (DCS).
The IDF follows closely behind two JLTV orders secured the previous month. On 6 November Oshkosh announced it had secured an order worth USD 208 M to provide JLTVs, JLTV trailers and associated packaged and installed kits for the US Army, US Marine Corps and US Air Force. Then, on 16 November the company announced a USD 160 M JLTV order for US allies including Mongolia, Romania, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Slovakia.
President of Oshkosh Defense Tim Bleck told ESD on 5 December that the company is “well positioned to deliver JLTVs right now given its warm, proven production line, established supply chain, and experienced workforce”.
The JLTV was designed to replace the ageing uparmoured High-Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (Humvee) fleet with a vehicle providing better protection, mobility and a greater payload capacity.
Oshkosh has been the provider of JLTVs to the US military since 2015, after being chosen in August of that year as the winner of the initial JLTV contest with a vehicle solution based on its Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle (L-ATV). The company has provided more than 20,000 JLTVs to the US military and its allies, but soon after the initial JLTV contract was awarded the US government purchased the data rights to the JLTV Technical Data Package from Oshkosh to allow for competition for further production of the JLTV for the US military.
Bleck noted to ESD, however, “That licence to the US government does not extend to DCS contracts. Oshkosh is therefore the only OEM that can sell the JLTV via DCS.”
Although Oshkosh was the incumbent JLTV provider, under the JLTV A2 Program the US Army on 9 February 2023 awarded AM General a five-year contract (plus five-year option) worth USD 8.66 Bn to produce up to 20,682 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) and up to 9,883 JLTV Trailers for the US armed forces and FMS customers.
In March 2023 Oshkosh filed a formal bid protest with the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) over the US Army’s decision to award the JLTV follow-on contract to AM General, but the protest was rejected in June.
Nevertheless, Oshkosh has been able to continue to take orders under its existing JLTV contract, originally awarded in August 2015, as AM General prepares to take over future JLTV production.
Oshkosh had previously indicated that, in light of not securing the JLTV A2 Program, it would close its production line for the vehicle in 2024. However, Bleck told ESD on 5 December, “We currently expect to produce JLTVs into early 2025.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Riverside Christian College briefed Everything Outside to replace an aging play area to cater to 900 primary students with age-appropriate play areas within a single zone. The project required a nature-play theme that included outdoor learning areas on a long, narrow site that needed to be enclosed for safety.
The main challenge was to accommodate the varying needs of 900 students and fit all these differing needs for play, learning, and rest in a single zone.
Everything Outside employed uniformity in design across the site. A big riverbed links the site, featuring nature poles, crossing logs, and 3D animals woven along with play features. These include wobble bridges, musical instruments, traverse ropes, handgrip climbers, mini hangout pods, and up-and-over climbers to encourage exercise and movement.
Further along the riverbed, water play areas, a conveyor belt, and scales encourage imaginative play. Adjacent to this area are three climbing towers linked by rope bridges, featuring a slippery dip, a surfboard climbing wall, and monkey bars, among other features.
The newly designed play area successfully accommodated the needs of 900 primary students, offering a variety of play, learning, and rest areas within a single, enclosed zone. The uniform design and diverse play features not only provided ample opportunities for physical exercise and imaginative play but also ensured the safety and engagement of all students. The nature-play theme and outdoor learning areas created an enriching environment that fostered both physical and cognitive development. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Set yourself up for success and follow Vickie Sokol Evans’ top tips for saving to the cloud
“Do you want to know what a laptop sounds like when you spill coffee on it?” asked Kaia (not her real name), a high-level Executive Assistant.
Oh no, I thought. “Do I want to know?!”
“It sounds like ‘pssttch,’” Kaia said. “I lost everything,” she added. “Do you know if I can get my OneNote notebook back?”
It turns out Kaia had not been saving to the cloud; she was saving locally to her desktop. And, with her last back-up being three months ago, she lost three months’ worth of work.
Saving to her desktop
By “saving to her desktop,” I mean anywhere locally: desktop, documents folder, anywhere that isn’t in the cloud.
One Easy Step to Save You (and Your Work)
Let’s set you and Kaia up for success moving forward by using one easy step to secure your work: saving to the cloud.
There are many cloud-based options for working and collaborating, but we will focus on Microsoft 365’s OneDrive, since it’s native to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
Save to OneDrive
When saving anything important (which is everything), the first and only step is to save to OneDrive. Avoid the traditional way of saving to your desktop or documents folder unless these folders are being backed up.
All files that you save to OneDrive are saved locally on your computer as well as in the cloud.
Once your work is saved to the cloud, you will be able to “see” and access all of your OneDrive files securely from any computer or device. More importantly, that means everything is backed up to the cloud. If you lose a device, you can log in and see your files from another device.
To view your files online:
- Right-click your OneDrive folder on your laptop and choose View Online, or
- Go to www.office.com, log in with your work credentials, and click the OneDrive icon.
Access the Most Updated Version of Your File
When you’re connected to the internet, you’ll always be able to access the latest version of a file via OneDrive. Unsure if you have the latest version? Here’s a tip: go straight to the online version of that file. In the OneDrive app on your laptop, right-click the file in your File Explorer window and choose “View Online.”
Working on the Go without Internet Access
Do you have plans to be offline (i.e., without internet access)?
To work offline:
- find the OneDrive folder or file that you want to work on,
- right-click on the folder or file, and
- select “Always Keep on this Device.”
Once you connect your laptop to the internet, your edits will sync upstream to OneDrive for future access from anywhere.
Back Up Your Desktop and Documents Folder
If it feels strange not to save to your desktop or documents folder, then I have some good news: OneDrive has a back up feature that allows you to back up local folders to the cloud!
- On your laptop, click the blue cloud icon in your system tray near your clock.
- Go to Help & Settings > Settings > Backup tab > Manage Backup and follow the instructions on how to back up your favorite local folders.
Safe in the Cloud
If your laptop goes “psstch,” or if your manager’s or executive’s laptop goes “psstch,” you can have confidence that everything is safe. You can work and be productive from any device because your files are tucked away in the cloud, safe from coffee, tea, or other common mishaps.
This one small, consistent action of saving to the cloud means you can access your work from anywhere and on any device, because it’s so much more fun to hear “thank you” than the “pssttch” of a dying laptop. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Can you help me understand the impact of curandera healings on those who do seek this out? My family is Mexican- American and we are Catholic, and members of my family would cure us as children with eggs when we were ill. Also, many people in my family would burn religious candles with petition and prayers underneath them, sometimes accompanied by a dime or object that was said to silence or chase away people with bad intentions. I’ve renounced participation in these practices even though I was a child, but in my adulthood, I feel guilt for not recognizing this as wrong , even though early adulthood. How do I reconcile this with God, and with my family?
Fr. Martins, I love the book so far! God's timing is perfect! Its release date is the same as my birthday! There must be many Saints that died as martyrs that were never recognized. Is it okay to ask them to pray for us? God tells us that the lowly shall be lifted up high. So, aren't these unknown Saints ones with great influence with God, too?
Hi, Father- Thank you so much for your work on the podcast. The Exorcist Files has been really faith-building for me. I am wondering if you could spend a little time unpacking superstition vs. faith, specifically as it relates to religious objects. I remember you relaying an anecdote about being in India and seeing evil eye “protectors” on the backs of taxi seats. You mentioned this obviously falls into the superstition category. How is this different from religious relics? Can people put too much faith in things like religious relics or holy water to the point where it actually become superstition? Thanks again for the great thoughts! Emily (Anglican Wife and Mom of 8) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
