I am staring into the middle distance. I am present in the room but my mind has been stolen away. I should be focusing on many other, more important things, but there is only one thought boring its way into my mind – how much I want to go back to playing Skyrim.
For most people left outside of the Skyrim circle, that’s a bad thing.
A majestic world
Skyrim is the sort of game that garners a bad reputation outside of the gaming community. It’s a beast, and a deceptive one at that, a massive masterpiece that rewards and enchants in spades. It focuses on solo-play, needing hundreds of hours worth of free-time to fully explore.
It’s deceptive because to an outsider it’s a friendly game about magic and swordplay. From a distance it’s a beguiling tale of whimsy far from modern day warfare and violence. I suspect it’s a game that many spouses have bought as Christmas presents this year without realising what they’re bringing into their home – a technical and artistic marvel that will utterly enthral those who play it. Perhaps even on a few occasions to the detriment of everything else.
There’s no one solitary thing I love about Skyrim – or any Elder Scrolls game. It’s a game that blends together tried and tested ideas into one glorious landscape. Skyrim (and its predecessors) are games that leave you never quite sated, leaving you always eager for more. So immersion is at Skyrim’s forefront, and as I try to focus on other things, I find my mind wandering back to its illuminated caves and awe-inspiring peaks.
Skyrim’s world is so majestic, that it requires some preparation to play. I found myself completing other games or plan the appropriate time to start on such an enormous gaming project. You have to be ready to play an Elder Scrolls game (or any game that is similarly large) the sense of grandeur upon starting is palpable. As such we as gamers often start an enormous game without thinking of the impact on those left around us.
Hard to step away
There’s definitely some silent (and occasional not so silent) accusations leveled to us as gamers. As if in the experience of playing any type of game makes us collectively more neglectful and selfish. This is perpetuated by the occasional intrusions into our gaming time, as we wrestle with a moment in a game, it’s not always totally understood that cannot always pause or easily drop what we’re doing. It’s an unfortunate side-effect of the engagement of video games.
The immediacy of attention that Skyrim (or any large single player game) requires does unfortunately help to perpetuate that view. The gaming object of our desire can equally annoy another, as some games can require a considerable time investment.
This is a particular problem with Elder Scrolls games and they are as much about the suspension of disbelief as the engagement with the world. Skyrim becomes a platform to each person’s individual fantasy. We follow and complete the same “quests” collectively as a community, but resolve them in our own way and develop our own stories and motivation for doing so.
A labour of love
Skyrim is a refreshing change of pace from other games, which can often push you down linear paths with a set roster of characters. This is usually done with helpful pointers and help to coax you along the narrative path. The process of playing Skyrim is liberating and it goes some way to explain the success of the series as a whole, and crucially why it can be so addictive.
Skyrim pushes us away from the tried and tested path. It encourages you down a particular route with the merest thread, only to flash a glimpse of a beautiful view, or a ruin, or an undiscovered landmark, or a trail of wild flowers and suddenly we’re selectively amnesic, dazed by another bright idea or curiosity, we tumble past our goal and into something else, and something more.
Skyrim is a beautiful siren song, only it’s not singing us to shipwreck, but to sheer, unadulterated gaming bliss.

Let’s make one thing abundantly clear, Ed Davis is quite possibly the best rebounder in professional basketball. And a stellar defender. And a beloved teammate.
Averaging an incredible 17.3 rebounds per 36 minutes, Davis is a human magnet on the boards. Even though he sees the court for a minimal amount of time a night, he averages 2.7 offensive rebounds a night. Davis’ sheer presence guarantees that his team will get an extra three or four possessions a night.
Although his offensive game is lacking, his defensive occupation of the paint more than makes up for it. Davis is the exact style of player that you can be confident in coming off the bench and not blowing a big lead (like the Bulls were so prone to do this year).
A defensively-minded juggernaut that hustles on every play could do wonders for the developing Chicago Bulls. Perhaps most importantly of all, Davis’ attitude has been described as infectious and he has been a locker room favorite with multiple franchises.
With the Bulls severe lack of depth in big men behind Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter, Davis could be an enormous (both figuratively and literally) addition to the roster. If his former contract he signed with Brooklyn is any indication, Davis could again be one of the best budget bargains in the NBA.

Content: Fourteen Pages detailing the Relics, the Islands they must be returned to and the challenges each island will present to the Crew before they can succeed.
Writing: Depths Unwonted takes the less is more approach of writing in a format that lends urgency to the crews quest to avoid their 'unwonted' fate. Each spread represents a segment of the adventure in a brief style that doesn't bog down the gameplay.
Art/design: Artistically this Adventure is simply fun to look at and enjoy much less play through. For all three islands the map and the writing are blended in to one unified whole that guides the eye in an entertaining way without being a chore to read.
Usability: Depths Unwonted would be a great adventure to spring on a group when they think they might be 'in the clear' after a previous one in a 'Just when you thought it was over!' style twist. Effort is made to keep it a small scale event within the writing and takes advantage of the 'Mystical' side of Pirate Borg in a great way.

Polystyrene is one of the worst forms of plastic pollution. When it’s thrown away, it doesn’t break down — so every piece ever produced will still be clogging our landfills and polluting our communities decades or centuries down the line.
It also poses a risk to human health. Polystyrene foam packaging can leach styrene, a carcinogenic chemical, into food and drink. No restaurant should be packaging its food and drink in materials that can harm its customers.
To help put a stop to the plastic pollution crisis and protect your customers’ health, I strongly urge you to stop serving food or drink packaged in polystyrene foam containers.

Operators hide the complexity of the application and Kubernetes. Instead of dealing with Pods, StatefulSets, tons of YAML manifests, and various configuration files, the user talks to Kubernetes API to provision a ready-to-use application. An Operator automatically provisions all the required resources and exposes the application. Though, there is always a risk that the user would want to do something manual that can negatively affect the application and the Operator logic.
In this blog post, we will explain how to limit access scope for the user to avoid manual changes for database clusters deployed with Percona Operators. To do so, we will rely on Kubernetes Role-based Access Control (RBAC).

Motorola recently updated its Moto Z and Moto Z Force to Android 7.Zero Nougat. It has reportedly begun with Android 7.1.1 Nougat soak check for the non-droid Moto Z devices. Last week, the corporation first updated the Moto Z Play Droid model of devices with Android 7.1.1 Nougat inside the US.
The Moto Z Android 7.1.1 Nougat update is stated to be rolling out for only a few users in Brazil and India, as pronounced by TechDrioder. The Nougat update with software build number NPL.26.107 also includes the trendy June 1, 2017, Android security patch. My General
The replacement notes that ‘you can not downgrade to a preceding software version after installing this update.’ With Android 7.1.1 Nougat, Motorola has delivered Google’ video calling utility, new multitasking functions, greater efficient notification controls, stepped forward statistics saver & battery capabilities, and updated the Moto Mods platform to model 2. Zero, and everyday bug fixing with stability improvements.
There were reviews on Motorola skipping the Android 7.1.1 replacement for Android 7.1.2; however, it appears that’s not taking place. To remind you, Lenovo-owned Motorola released Moto Z and Moto Z Play Ultimate 12 months in September with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Motorola provides soak test updates for those Moto device proprietors who enroll in the Motorola Feedback Network. At the back of soak tests, the idea is simple: get consumer comments from users and enhance for the last replacement. So, if you own Moto Z and are subscribed to Motorola’s Feedback Network, you can also get the relief. Moto Z customers in India and Brazil are reportedly getting relief; these users can manually look at the OTA to replace notifications by going to Settings > About Phone > Software updates.
Are the Moto Mods Good Moto Z Cases?
Moto Z has quite a winner on its arms with the brand new Moto Z. Motorola has automatically hit it out of the park with their telephones for the previous few years, and this year’s flagship is no exception. Cynical Android lovers will point out that the ultimate four-year achievement no longer saves your Motorola from getting sold via Google and then getting bought directly by Lenovo. While that is proper, possessing this once venerable brand with the aid of Lenovo hasn’t seemed to hurt it at all. Lenovo is the Chinese organization that became once well-known for purchasing out the PC department of some venerable emblem, IBM. Lenovo has cared for and constructed the previous ThinkPad emblem properly over the years that it has owned it, and with any luck, it’ll do so with Motorola as properly.
There are, however, rumors that Lenovo plans to kill off Motorola or Moto branding and use Lenovo branding on all their telephones from next year onward. However, we have the Moto Z, and its miles are quite great. It gets even better because there are three phones to choose from if you need to get a Moto Z.

There is the flagship Moto Z, a razor-thin telephone with amazing battery life, top-notch design, and a charge that is an awful lot lower than another flagship telephone in the marketplace today, with possibly the exception of the OnePlus 3T. There is also the less expensive Moto Z Play, an excellent, less expensive midrange phone with even higher battery life, which is a larger battery and a slower, extra energy green processor. If you’re clumsy or have an energetic lifestyle, the ruggedized Moto Z Force, with its shatterproof plastic screen, is the correct Moto Z for you since you may not even need Moto Z instances to defend it.

The complete cast and creative team has been announced for the upcoming production of Macbeth, starring Tony winner Ralph Fiennes (Straight Line Crazy, Hamlet) and Olivier winner Indira Varma (Present Laughter, Titus Andronicus) as previously announced.
The duo will lead the new production of Shakespeare's classic through a tour of the U.K. and across the pond in Washington, D.C. The production is set to premiere in Liverpool beginning November 24 where it will play until December 16.
Following its premiere engagement, the production will travel to Edinburgh in 2024 to run January 13-27, and then on to London for a run February 11-March 23. Next, the production will cross the pond to Washington, D.C. to play an off-site venue with Shakespeare Theatre Company April 9-May 5.
Fiennes and Varma will be joined by Ben Allen as Ross, Ewan Black as Malcolm, Levi Brown as Angus, Jonathon Case as Seyton, Danielle Fiamanya as Second Witch, Keith Fleming as King Duncan/Siward, Michael Hodgson as Second Murderer, Lucy Mangan as First Witch, Jake Neads as First Murderer/Donalbain, Richard Pepper as Lennox, Steffan Rhodri as Banquo, Rose Riley as Menteith, Lola Shalam as Third Witch, Rebecca Scroggs as Lady Macduff/Doctor, Ethan Thomas as Fleance, and Ben Turner as Macduff.
Director Simon Godwin (King Lear, The Cherry Orchard) is helming the production, which will feature set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw in four site-specific warehouses, lighting design by Jai Morjaria, and sound design by Christopher Shutt. Emily Burns adapts the original Shakespeare text.
Fiennes said in a previous statement, “Ever since we collaborated on Man and Superman, I’ve longed to work with Indira Varma and Simon Godwin again. Simon brought us together then, and he’s reuniting us for Macbeth." He continued, "Macbeth is a play that always carries relevance but with wars in Ukraine and Sudan—and murderous authoritarian regimes very present in the world—the play seems particularly current. But, Shakespeare’s examination of the minds of his protagonist—the intimate nature of this—is what gives the play its brilliant and terrifying focus.” The thought was echoed by Varma who also said that the leading couple's "fraught relationship" and the play's exploration of ambition and corruption "still feel chillingly poignant in our modern world."
Godwin put a more explicit context on the production. "Macbeth is a remarkable portrait of a marriage and a terrifying account of the drift towards tyranny. The experience will be heightened by playing in different spaces across different cities before ending our journey—during a U.S. election year—in America's capital."
The composer of new original music will be Asaf Zohar, with sound system design by Christopher Shutt and Sam Clarkson. The movement director is Lucy Cullingford, the hair, make up and prosthetics designer is Susanna Peretz, the fight director is Kate Waters, the casting director is Amy Ball, and the children’s casting director is Ellie Collyer-Bristow.
Fiennes has had a long career of performing Shakespeare, including Anthony and Cleopatra at National Theatre, Troilus & Cressida, King Lear, Love's Labour Lost, Much Ado About Nothing, and King John at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and Richard III, Richard II, Coriolanus, and Hamlet at the Almeida. Hamlet transferred to Broadway's Belasco Theatre and earned him a Tony Award. Fiennes also made his feature film directorial debut helming Coriolanus in which he also starred as the titular character. Varma returns to Shakespeare, having previously starred in Titus Andronicus at London's Globe Theatre.
Serving as Artistic Director of Shakespeare Theatre Company since September 2019, Godwin has directed three shows so far at the regional theatre: King Lear starring Patrick Page, as well as Much Ado About Nothing and Timon of Athens. Prior to his recent work in Washington, D.C., he directed Twelfth Night, National Theatre's Much Ado About Nothing and Romeo & Juliet, and Royal Shakespeare Company's Timon of Athens, Hamlet, and Two Gentlemen of Verona. he also directed Antony and Cleopatra which starred Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo.
Produced by Wessex Grove and Underbelly in association with Shakespeare Theatre Company, the producers revealed that the production will "push the boundaries of what a theatrical experience can be" by playing in warehouses across the four cities. The hope is to encourage a new audiences to discover live theatre.

The Podcast Broker, a site dedicated to buying and selling podcasts, launched at Podcast Movement on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. The site will allow podcasters to sell their shows and prospective buyers to purchase podcasts. The podcast industry has seen the acquisitions of large content creation companies, but independent podcasters haven’t had an easy way to sell their shows, and ThePodcastBroker.com aims to change this.
The Podcast Broker is the brainchild of Heather Osgood, founder of True Native Media, a podcast representation firm. Osgood commented, “After years of working with podcasts, it became clear that while podcasts love the content they create, there does come a time when they would like to move on. I’ve seen too many quality shows just pod fade and stop creating content, abandoning their shows. It’s such a shame because the shows are very sellable. There has been a real need for a platform like ThePodcastBroker.com to assist these podcasters.”
Ben Richardson and Alberto Betella, founders of RSS.com, have co-founded ThePodcastBroker.com, serving as technical founders. “ThePodcastBroker.com is simple,” says Betella, “it’s a platform to allow podcasters the opportunity to connect with buyers. It’s the first of its kind, and we’re confident we can be of great help to podcasters and buyers alike.”
ThePodcastBroker.com will provide a free evaluation of podcasts. To provide a baseline price estimate, visitors to the site can complete the evaluation form on the site to receive feedback. Podcasts will be listed on the site when they are approved. Podcasts can be listed on the site either anonymously or with full show details. At the time of the sale, podcasters can negotiate the purchase of other digital of physical assets such as websites, email lists, or show merchandise associated with the podcast.
Websites and many other digital products have been bought and sold for years, and now, ThePodcastBroker.com will allow podcasts to be easily bought and sold.

Many graduates find themselves drawn to outreach programs, volunteering opportunities, and even therapeutic settings where they can share the benefits of yoga with underserved populations. This expands the reach of yoga beyond its traditional boundaries and allows it to touch the lives of those who may not have had access to its transformative effects otherwise. In conclusion, Yoga Teacher Training programs not only equip individuals with the skills and knowledge to become proficient yoga instructors but also inspire change through yoga. By embarking on this transformative journey, trainees undergo personal growth and self-discovery, enabling them to guide others on their own path of transformation. With their enhanced understanding of the mind-body connection and their ability to create inclusive spaces, these teachers become catalysts for positive change in the lives of their students and communities. Yoga Teacher Training programs are thus instrumental in spreading the transformative power of yoga and making a lasting impact on individuals and society as a whole.
Yoga Teacher Training Program: Dive into the Art of Sequencing Yoga has been practiced for centuries, offering a multitude of benefits for the mind, body, and soul. It is a holistic discipline that goes beyond physical postures, incorporating breath control, meditation, and ethical principles. For those passionate about yoga and its transformative power, becoming a certified yoga teacher is a natural progression. One essential aspect of a comprehensive yoga teacher training program is the art of sequencing. Sequencing in yoga refers to the careful arrangement and progression of asanas (poses) within a yoga class or practice. It involves creating a harmonious flow that considers various factors such as warm-up, intensity, balance, and cool-down. A well-structured sequence can enhance the physical and energetic effects of yoga, optimize the benefits for practitioners, and create a transformative experience. A yoga teacher training program that delves into the art of sequencing equips aspiring teachers with the knowledge and skills to create dynamic and effective yoga classes.
Trainees learn about the different categories of poses, their benefits, contraindications, and how to skillfully combine them to build a cohesive practice. They explore various styles of yoga and gain an understanding of how sequencing can be tailored to suit different levels, body types, and intentions. The training also emphasizes the importance of anatomical alignment and intelligent sequencing to prevent injuries and promote optimal alignment. Trainees learn about the body’s biomechanics and how to sequence poses that create a safe and supportive environment for You Can Try Here students. They understand the significance of breath synchronization and how to integrate pranayama (breathing exercises) into the sequencing to deepen the practice. Moreover, a comprehensive yoga teacher training program emphasizes creativity and encourages trainees to develop their unique sequencing style. It teaches them to tap into their intuition, connect with their students’ needs, and design classes that are both challenging and accessible.

Purdue University Galleries is exhibiting artwork featuring non-narrative animation in Purdue’s Robert L. Ringel Gallery. Artists Karen Kriss, HaRan Kim, Yaloo Lim, and Jake Fried use concepts of motion and animation in both their practices and in the works presented. Rather than using animation only as a vehicle of narrative, the artists included explore motion as a way of expanding the materiality of physical objects into a new realm.
The exhibition is being presented in partnership with Purdue Polytechnic’s Department of Computer Graphics Technology. Andrew Buchanan, assistant professor of computer graphics technology, and Esteban Garcia, associate professor of computer graphics technology, are curating the exhibition.
The Ringel Gallery is located in Stewart Center. A reception and awards ceremony will be held 5:30–7 p.m. Sept. 23, and the exhibition is open through Oct. 1.

Beth Macy’s Raising Lazarus is the latest book on the overdose crisis. Unfortunately, this insightful journalist who wrote Dopesick, made into a series on Hulu, is a harm reductionist who doesn’t put too much stock in primary drug prevention.
Drug policy should have three prongs: Prevention, Recovery and Harm Reduction.
Instead of tirelessly stating “Let’s stop stigmatizing addiction,” why can’t we say, “Let’s celebrate recovery”?
We need to incentivize recovery.
The drug epidemic has been running for more than 20 years now, and today the primary driver is fentanyl, an opioid sold on the black market. An estimated 107,000 died of overdose last year. Why is it only getting worse? Perhaps it’s because we’re addressing the problem with harm reduction only and not spending much money on drug prevention. In the case of fentanyl, youths are going right from marijuana use to buying pills that are laced with fentanyl and dying immediately. In pot legalization states out west, it currently is happening to those as young as 13 and 14.
Macy’s view of marijuana is a blindspot
Macy scorns Nancy Reagan and her “cabal of marijuana-hating moms” on p. 77. But does she realize that the parents movement of 1979-1992 brought down drugs use from 39% of all teens to 14%? The parent movement, which included black activists, was an exceptional achievement. We could do the same now, if only harm reduction were not the primary leg of drug policy.

I've been a member here for a few years, but I haven't done much writing. This introduction is my first step in a new, focused direction.
Finally! After years of searching, I was able to find my direction. When I say finally, I mean I've worn many hats. I was a professional chef with a degree from Johnson & Wales University. Then I earned the title of United States Marine. Leaving active duty, I found employment as a Correctional Officer. Currently, I work as a senior tech support agent helping with alarm systems.
I completed the front-end developer program and continued my learning journey. Expanding on what I had learned, I went more in-depth with React. I added Gatsby and crafted a website for a small Swedish band that has become my pride and joy. Imagine how happy I was to find #VetsWhoCode, where I could start learning in earnest.
I have a voracious thirst for knowledge and am always looking to learn. While expanding my skills, I hope to have more free time to dive into Ruby and Ruby on Rails, among others.
Life isn't only about writing code, and when I'm not at my desk, I'm spending time with my wife, kids, and cats. I love Star Wars (recently finished reading the Thrawn Trilogy!) and Colts football, and I work so much better listening to music!
So hit me up on Twitter as @usmcamgrimm and check out my GitHub as usmcamgrimm and let's talk!

Infallible Christmas gifts: Pope's courier reveals secrets
- The Guardian, Saturday 20 December 2008
If you ever wanted to know what the pope wants for Christmas, Thaddeus Kühnel has the answer: a cosy foot-warmer and a carload of German sweetmeats.
Kühnel, a Bavarian banker nicknamed the "pope's courier", has just delivered his annual load of Christmas goodies to the pontiff, including Christmas trees, cakes, biscuits and a present from his brother.
When Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, Kühnel, 62, offered to be at his beck and call whenever he wished to stock up on German delicacies that are hard to come by in Rome, including sausages, strudel and dumpling mix.
Kühnel drove from the pope's home state of Bavaria to the Vatican yesterday to personally deliver this year's boot-load of food, as well as five Christmas trees that were strapped to the roof of his car.
Lebkuchen (honey and spice biscuits), stollen (German Christmas cake), and chocolate were among the treats, Kühnel told German media. Of the trees, which came from the pope's home town, Marktl am Inn, Kühnel said: "One is for the Pope's living room, and two are for private chapels."
Butchers in Marktl am Inn began selling Ratzinger sausages in his honour when he became pope in 2005.
There was also a present from the pope's brother, Georg, 84, a retired priest. Kühnel would not reveal what it was, but said "usually they give each other practical things, like wristwatches and electric foot-warmers".
Kühnel said he had already clocked up around 250,000km (150,000 miles) in his car, delivering goods to the pope that he had personally requested, along with presents from his old friends, staff and distant relatives. "I deliver all the things he misses about Bavaria, including fruit nectar, Bavarian sausages from his favourite restaurant, advent wreaths and German sweets. He has a very sweet tooth," Kühnel said.
"The first thing I brought to Rome, in my car, was a paschal candle, as well as some fruit from Adelholzen and mineral water. He likes the Christmas cookies that women from Bavarian parishes bake at home as well as those made at certain monasteries. He also likes the chocolates made in Aachen."

Spot gold declined 0.1% to $2,656.34 per ounce after reaching its lowest level since October 15 earlier in the session
Gold prices hit a more than three-week low on Thursday, as the dollar firmed after Donald Trump’s win in the U.S. presidential election, while focus was also on the Fed’s interest rate decision later in the day.
Spot gold declined 0.1% to $2,656.34 per ounce, as of 0327 GMT, after reaching its lowest level since October 15 earlier in the session.
Bullion touched a record high of $2,790.15 last week and has dropped more than $130 since then.
U.S. gold futures tumbled 0.5% to $2,663.60.
The dollar index hovered near a four-month high, making bullion more expensive for overseas buyers.
Trump returned to the White House with a sweeping victory on Wednesday, but it has fuelled questions about whether the Federal Reserve may proceed to cut rates at a slower and smaller pace.
Traders are expecting a 25 bp cut likely to be announced at the end of the Fed’s meeting later in the day, with focus also being on Chair Powell’s statement for any guidance on the central bank’s future rate-cut path.
Trump’s potential policy is inflationary and that could translate to slower cuts, which is a rather negative news for gold, but a widening U.S. budget deficit and reduced fiscal discipline will be positive, said Kelvin Wong, OANDA’s senior market analyst, Asia Pacific.
Bullion is considered a hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainties but higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding zero-yield bullion.
I still think gold’s path remains bullish as people would like to buy it as a safe-haven to shield against risks. Still expect prices to reach $3,000 next year, according to Peter Fung, head of dealing at Wing Fung Precious Metals.

A slot is a narrow opening, as in a door or window. It can also refer to a position or assignment in a game or activity. For example, a football player’s slot is the spot in front of the goal line between the face-off circles.
The slot machine is one of the most popular casino games in the world, and it comes in many different styles, themes, and rules. It is also known by other names, such as fruit machines, pokies, or one-armed bandits. Regardless of the name, it is a fun and exciting game to play. However, it is important to understand how the odds of winning work in order to maximize your chances of success.
In slot machines, the odds are calculated by using probability and math. This is because there are only so many ways that a particular symbol can appear on the reels. When a slot machine is activated, the random number generator (RNG) will record a sequence of numbers that correspond with each stop on a reel. This sequence is then used to determine where the reel will stop. Once the RNG has determined a three-number sequence, it will then use an internal table to find the corresponding reel location.
Slots also have paylines that can be activated by spinning the reels. The number of active paylines is displayed on the screen, along with the minimum and maximum bet amounts. Depending on the type of slot, players can choose to activate all or only a few pay lines per spin. When the reels are spun, matching symbols must land on a payline in order to win payouts.
Some slots also have All Ways or 243+ paylines, which allow for multiple combinations of symbols on each spin. These types of slots require fewer symbols to trigger, but their payouts can still be high. Some slots also have cluster pays, which involve forming groups of symbols that must match in order to earn payouts.
Another key feature of a slot machine is its bonus round. These can include anything from free spins to a mystery pick game. They are designed to add an extra dimension to the game and keep players engaged. They can also offer a higher return-to-player percentage than the base game.
When playing a slot machine, the player inserts cash or, in “ticket-in, ticket-out” machines, a paper ticket with a barcode into a designated slot. The machine then activates the reels, which spin and stop to rearrange the symbols. If the symbols form a winning combination, the player receives credits based on the payout schedule. In addition, many slot machines have a jackpot or progressive jackpot that can be won during the bonus rounds. This makes them a popular choice for both casual and serious gamblers. The odds of winning a jackpot are much higher than in other games. However, it is important to note that the jackpot is not a guaranteed amount and may change from time to time.

Lottery is a type of gambling in which numbers are drawn to determine a prize, such as money or property. In contrast to other games of chance, lottery participation requires payment of a consideration (money or work), which is why it can be considered a form of gambling. Modern state lotteries often use a combination of drawing and auction methods to select winners. While there are some similarities among state lotteries, each one is unique in its rules and regulations. Some states, such as Florida and Georgia, have laws prohibiting the sale of lottery tickets to minors.
Lotteries have long been a popular way for governments to distribute property or money, and they have many important public policy implications. For example, they provide an effective alternative to direct taxation and they promote fairness in the distribution of wealth. In addition, they can raise funds for specific projects and reduce the burden on taxpayers. Lotteries also have drawbacks, such as the potential for compulsive gambling and regressive effects on lower-income groups. Nevertheless, state government officials and voters often endorse the use of the lottery.
The popularity of lottery games is frequently linked to the belief that they help improve state government finances, especially in times of financial stress. However, research shows that the revenue generated by state lotteries is relatively unrelated to a state’s actual fiscal condition. Lotteries have been approved by voters even when state governments were in good financial health.
In fact, lottery revenues typically increase dramatically after the launch of a new game and then level off or decline. As a result, state governments must continually introduce new games to maintain or increase their revenues. Several innovations in lottery operations have helped to change the nature of the industry. For instance, the introduction of instant games in the 1970s lowered ticket prices and increased odds of winning. The introduction of scratch-off tickets in the 1990s further lowered ticket prices and made them more attractive to consumers.
The key to winning the lottery is to play smart. Pick your numbers carefully and choose a system that works for you. Try to cover a large range of numbers in each draw. Try to avoid numbers that are clustered together, or ones that end with the same digit. Also, try to choose numbers that have not been selected in the last draw.
Discretion is your friend in these early days, and past winners serve as cautionary tales about the psychological impact of sudden wealth. Don’t make any flashy purchases and keep your winnings a secret from everyone, including close friends. And finally, make sure you get the right team in place to manage your wealth. These experts can include a crack team of lawyers and financial advisers, as well as a mental health specialist. It’s crucial to protect your winnings from the vultures and detractors who are bound to follow in your wake.

Bodekull, also known as the Dalarö wreck, is one of the world’s best preserved 17th-century wrecks, lying at about 30 metres depth by Edesön island off Dalarö. Although it is a fairly small ship, about 20 meters long, with a hold and six gun ports, its silhouette is similar to the larger warships.
The name of the ship comes from where the ship was built, Karlshamn was called Bodekull until 1664. The ship was the first built at the shipyard in Bodekull, and was launched in October 1660, only two years after the Peace of Roskilde (February 1658) when Skåne and Blekinge became Swedish. Bodekull was one of several ships in a planned landing fleet, but after the king’s death in 1660, the earlier plans to invade Denmark was cancelled. It was decided that the ships would be built as small frigates to operate in several different contexts.
Story of sinking
In 1675, war broke out again, and Denmark tried to regain the provinces lost to Sweden in the Peace of Roskilde in 1658. In the autumn of 1678 the Swedish fleet searched for a winter harbour north of Kalmar, in order to avoid the late ice breaks on the northern Baltic Sea. In order to feed the people onboard the ships, Olof Styff was sent with Bodekull to grind grain in a mill along the Östergötland coast, or possibly northern Småland. Despite these instructions the skipper instead sailed all the way to the mill at Fagerholmen in the Stockholm archipelago. On the way back the ship ran aground and sank. 20 barrels of water mixed flour was rescued from the sinking ship and taken to Stockholm. The extensive discussions about how the water soaked flour could be baked into bread was entered in the Admiralty meeting protocols. It is these documents that reveal that the Bodekull sank in the area north of Dalarö.
Story of discovery
Bodekull was discovered in 2003 by the Marine Culture Society. Later the Swedish Maritime Museum’s archaeologists in cooperation with the University of Southampton and Södertörn University conducted surveys on the site.
When the ship was discovered a few items where salvaged, including a glass bottle with a mark in the shape of a noble coat of arms with three crescents. The motive is found on several noble coat of arms in Europe. The glass bottle could by its form be dated to the period 1640-1670.
On Bodekull you can see ceramic bottles of a special type called Bartmann jugs. Such bottles were made during the 1600s in large quantities. In these jugs all sorts of different liquid products – such as wine, oil and chemicals – were shipped and stored. The jars are decorated with a bearded face and Bartmann means “bearded man” in German.

Turkey and tribalism is an uncomfortable combination. It’s hard to have a relaxing family meal if you are gritting your teeth and trying to be pleasant to relatives who support a candidate you loathe.
New research estimates Americans who spent their holiday with relations who voted for the other party cut their visits short by an average of 30 to 50 minutes, compared to the previous year.
This trend was exacerbated when the people involved lived in contested areas, and thus were subject to a heavy barrage of political advertisements.
“Political polarization is increasingly degrading our close connections with friends and family,” said M. Keith Chen of the University of California–Los Angeles, who co-authored the study with fellow economist Ryne Rohla of Washington State University. Their research is published in the journal Science.
The study utilized data from a common high-tech device: our cell phones. To get precise measurements of time spent at family gatherings, the researchers tracked cell phone “pings” that reveal a person’s location at a given moment.
Middle-of-the-night data allowed them to determine whether the phone’s owner lived in a Democratic- or Republican-leaning political precinct. Data recorded on the Thanksgiving afternoons of 2015 (a non-election year) and 2016 revealed whether the owners were traveling to ideologically hostile territory.
Of course, not everyone in a GOP-leaning neighborhood actually voted for Trump, and vice-versa. But given the ideological sorting that is now common, the data provides a reasonable estimate of how people reacted to sitting in the same room with partisans of the other party.
For many, their reaction was to excuse themselves early.
After taking into account demographics and driving distances, the researchers concluded that “families that were likely to have voted for different presidential candidates spent about 30 to 50 fewer minutes together, subtracted from an average Thanksgiving dinner of 4.3 hours.”
Residents of Democratic-leaning precincts shortened their visits to Republican-leaning precincts by about 20 to 40 minutes, while people from GOP-leaning precincts cut their trips to Democratic-leaning precincts by 50 to 70 minutes.
In addition, “cross-partisan Thanksgiving dinners are further shortened by around 2.6 minutes on average for every 1,000 political advertisements aired in the traveler’s home media market,” the researchers add. “Some media markets in swing states saw more than 26,000 ads over the course of the campaign, implying a 69-minute shorter Thanksgiving dinner for vote-mismatched families in Orlando, for example, compared to those in markets without advertising.”
Altogether, they conclude, “an estimated 33.9 million person-hours of cross-partisan discourse was eliminated, perhaps creating a feedback mechanism by which partisan segregation reduces opportunities for close cross-party conversations.”
While you can’t blame people who wish to avoid heated conflicts with close relations, this represents a lost opportunity to share ideas with people who think differently—and maintain connections that have nothing to do with politics.
“Personally, I think it’s concerning,” Rohla said in announcing the findings. “To me, it’s a symptom of a broader decline in the social fabric of the United States.”

With the July NPTE now well in the rear-view mirror, it becomes time to refocus and redirect for the next NPTE on October 30, 2013. As I wrote in my last post, for those of you who did not pass the exam, it can be very discouraging. I have spoken with numerous students who have varying experiences, including some who have taken the NPTE up to 10 different times. I’m sure that can be very disheartening to fail the NPTE, but I am always impressed at their ability to pick themselves back up and try again. There are numerous occasions in history of immensely successful individuals who turned major failures into temporary setbacks.
All of that being said, I am moving forward with the Mastermind Study Groups (MSG) 2013 program. I have had several students email me to ask what was going on with it, and I feel that I should explain.
- I am very concerned about delivering ultra-high quality content in a mentored environment. I have been trying out several different conferencing programs that each have their shortcomings, but I have finally found one that I believe will be acceptable. I feel that for a mentored study program to truly deliver, it must provide not just good content, but ease of use.
- I have been concerned about creating a mentored study group that will address ALL of the concerns of the participants. Each student who emails me gives me details of their unique situation, including their areas of weakness on the NPTE. I feel that I have finally been able to address the weaknesses of ALL the participants by creating a syllabus and study guide that is combined with individual attention through email. Each live video session will include a lecture of related material from the week’s assignments with special attention paid to the areas that the students have requested in individual emails. Thus, I can combine the needs of the group and the needs of the individual.
- I am concerned about the amount of content to review. The FSBPT content outlines are broad and describe general concepts. I have created a syllabus from their content outlines that will cover all of the most important material as it is described on FSBPT.
- I wanted this to be DIFFERENT from the plain vanilla studying that is currently being done. This is a high-protein, high-octane study group that will cover things quickly and completely. No other study program takes students through training of this intensity over such a prolonged period.
I don’t want this to sound like a big sales pitch. My job is to provide ultra-high quality content for students preparing to take the NPTE, and I feel that this is an excellent way to deliver that content. Other projects I have include a podcast, an email study course, video study modules, a full study guide, and much more. I have a great duty to all of my readers to help them rock the National Physical Therapy Exam. I love teaching, and this gives me a great opportunity to share what I know and make a difference in people’s lives. Honestly, what you’re doing is changing your family tree. I have spoken with numerous foreign-trained physical therapists who want to make a better life for themselves in the U.S.A. This test isn’t just affecting their personal lives—it is changing the lives of their children for generations to come. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I’ve helped someone start a long and rewarding career in physical therapy.

I can’t believe how fast this year has gone, considering we have spent so much of it with limited movement and social contact.
I have managed to book flights home ... now fingers crossed I can get on them, and don’t get bumped. This entire getting home process has been so stressful! First, there was NO consistent information – the Australian Consulate in Vancouver wasn’t able to give any advice really, other than good luck. Being the only exchangee from Perth, even the information from you guys had to be checked and rechecked, because of WA’s hard borders. We can’t actually get home to Perth, so will have to quarantine in Sydney, then again in Perth. Hopefully at home in Perth and not in another hotel.
Being part of Aussies getting home and Aussies in quarantine groups has been both amazing and awful. I found my flights home through their information, but reading all of the stories about being bumped, cancelled, no refunds and awful quarantine conditions has been really scary and very stressful. I had to ban myself for a little while.
A co-worker asked me about a week ago how I was feeling about my return home. I actually don’t think there is an emotion that I am not feeling about going home. Excited and happy to be going back to my friends and family (my son was supposed to join me, but couldn’t get permission to leave), sad to be leaving new friends, nervous about saying goodbye, since I don’t know when I will see everyone again (lots of people were planning to come next year and visit – but who knows now).
I’m nervous about whether or not I will be homeless, jobless and carless if I can’t get on my flight, scared of how I will be able to deal with any delays, terrified of quarantining without fresh air with two kids.
I have so much anger at my government who is making it so hard to get home. Frustrated and angry at so many of my fellow West Australians, who love what Premier Mark McGowan is doing, and have actually said to me “Well you were told to come home in March” with so little understanding of any of it.
The stress is actually insane to deal with, while also trying to work full-time, and make sure all reporting etc is ready for my exchange partner to return and finish the school year. Ultimately though, I would do it all again. Despite COVID, I have had an amazing time, and I would recommend teacher exchange for sure!

Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA, the global justice organisation of the Australian trade union movement, was established in 1984. Here’s how it started, and what it does.
In 1983, Australian nurse Helen McCue was working as a nurse educator with the World Health Organisation in the Middle East before being seconded to the United Nations Relief and Works Organisation (UNRWA) in Lebanon.
While working in refugee camps alongside nurses from Norwegian People’s Aid, the overseas aid arm of the Norwegian trade union movement, Helen was inspired by the solidarity of workers in Norway. She felt the Australian union movement could also make a difference in the lives of marginalised peoples around the world.
When Helen returned to Australia later that same year, she took a proposal to Cliff Dolan, the then President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).
Inspired by the Norwegian People’s Aid example with its focus on skills training, Helen proposed establishing an international solidarity organisation in Australia. With Dolan’s support, Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA (Australian People for Health, Education and Development Abroad) was established in 1984.
APHEDA’s commitment to democracy and global justice has spanned many movements and causes, from the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon to Cambodia, Vietnam, Timor Leste, the Thai-Myanmar border, Aceh and support for the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa.
In 1990, after being released from prison after 27 years, South African anti-apartheid activist and politician Nelson Mandela visited Australia. He thanked the Australian union movement for being one of the first groups to support the democratic movement. APHEDA was a leading agency in this support.

We investigated in a unique setup of animal models and a human lung explant culture biological properties, including zoonotic potential, of a representative 2016 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N8, clade 126.96.36.199 group B (H5N8B), that spread rapidly in a huge and ongoing outbreak series in Europe and caused high mortality in waterfowl and domestic birds. HPAIV H5N8B showed increased virulence with rapid onset of severe disease and mortality in Pekin ducks due to pronounced neuro- and hepatotropism. Cross-species infection was evaluated in mice, ferrets, and in a human lung explant culture model. While the H5N8B isolate was highly virulent for Balb/c mice, virulence and transmissibility were grossly reduced in ferrets, which was mirrored by marginal replication in human lung cultures infected ex vivo. Our data indicate that the 2016 HPAIV H5N8B is avian-adapted with augmented virulence for waterfowl, but has low zoonotic potential. The here tested combination of animal studies with the inoculation of human explants provides a promising future workflow to evaluate zoonotic potential, mammalian replication competence and avian virulence of HPAIV.

In a recent event where the firefighters of the area took a boa out of a home to relocate it in the Manuel Antonio National Park. SINAC officials in Manuel Antonio, noticed that something was not right and worried about the physical condition of the animal, quickly coordinated the transfer to the Rescue Center Kids Saving the Rainforest.
The reptile, approximately 1.80 meters long, showed severe signs Of dehydration and an alarming amount of ticks attached to it’s skin. At the Rescue Center, veterinarians confirmed the severity of it’s condition and called him Patroclo.
The Veterinary Team carefully examined the boa and one by one they removed the ticks using special techniques so as not to produce additional damage to the skin of the reptile. Also, they administered fluids subcutaneously to combat dehydration. The treatment also included the constant monitoring of its general condition and an adequate diet to regain strength.
This week, after finishing his treatment and recovery, Patroclo has been liberated back to its natural habitat. The release was carried out in a protected area, far from human activities, to ensure his well-being and minimize the risk of future infestations.
We hope that our story inspires more people to value and protect the biodiversity of the fauna in this country.
This rescue and release underlines the importance of conservation and a need to protect the natural ecosystems. Rescue centers play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of endangered animals and in educating the public about the need to respect and preserve wildlife. While the boa continues his life in nature, his story serves as a powerful reminder of the positive impact we can have when we work together to take care of our environment.
Boas (Boa imperator) are a species recognized for their important role in the ecosystem as controllers of rodent and other populations of small mammals. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are not poisonous and rarely represent a danger to humans. These snakes are experts in camouflage, using the patterns of their skin to mix with the environment and surprise their prey. They can measure up to four meters long and live more than 20 years. Although many people believe that all snakes lay eggs,however the Boa imperator does not. They are ovoviviparous. This means that the females retain the eggs inside their bodies until the offspring are ready to be born, giving birth to live offspring instead of laying eggs.
Why can they have parasites?
The case of this boa with ticks is not unusual. Snakes can be susceptible to infestations of external parasites such as ticks, especially when they are weakened or injured. If it is not treated properly, a very high load of these parasites can lead to infections and other diseases.
The causes of the infestation may vary. Often, ticks are found in humid and warm environments. In addition, when a snake is sick or malnourished, their immune system weakens, making them more prone to these attacks. Interaction with domestic animals or invasion of natural habitats by human activities can also increase the exposures to these parasites.
The rescue of this boa is a reminder of the importance of protecting and conserving wildlife. Rescue centers play a key role in the rehabilitation of endangered animals and in public education about the importance of respecting and preserving natural ecosystems. This incident is an example of the need for responsible practices that minimize the impact of humans in the local fauna and promote a healthy environment for all species.

Many people live in Nigeria. Many are poor. Nigeria is working on its democratisation and economic development after years of military dictatorship. Ethnic conflicts between the Muslim north and the Christian/Animist south cost dearly. Education is expensive. It is impossible for poor families to pay for schools.
Because of these circumstances Amina Zwindila started a private school project. She wanted to provide free access to education for poor children (cf. and see for more information and photos: Community Project – Nigeria). Lukas from KLEX is in his second year of learning English.

I weep for the walker. The once stately procession of students from the Kratz and Miller (strictly speaking, Yoder, I suppose too…) dormitories to their trans-rail classes, even the dining hall, has been abruptly crippled by the inexplicable disappearance of an essential pathway across the harrowing “Tracks of Doom,” as shorter unshod members of the student body now call them. The bustling thoroughfare which once led me from the residential side of campus to the parking lot behind Wyse is no more. You may question the relevancy of this issue. “How pedestrian a matter!” you might say. To which I can only respond: “Literally.”
Thus I have taken it upon myself to reminisce and recollect on the Golden Era of the Path.I was young. Back in my day there was none of this ‘underpass’ nonsense. We waited—sometimes for minutes on end! Such patience today may sound quite ludicrous, but the older generations were made of sterner stuff. They harken back to simpler times when iPads were rare curiosities and the Shrock Plaza fountain still champed at the meter-high bit. I would get up early, I needed to be up for G-Chem.
[Historical Note: Newer students to Goshen College may not recognize the archaic abbreviation ‘G-Chem’, this is a shortening of the course title ‘General Chemistry’.]
I would emerge from Miller I (then RA-ed by the distinguished Quinn Brenneke) and join the stiffly moving crowd as we trudged towards the tracks on the way to breakfast. While some people chose to go north to the vehicle crossing, I knew better. “You’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road, and I’ll be a-eating afore ye,” I would say, attesting to the obviously shorter route leading through campus to the dining hall.
Every morning I walked that path, and now…now I don’t know what I’ll do. Just today, I was forced underground by a passing train much to my chagrin. It is, I suppose, a nice gesture—the underpass. But I think the time I take going around the plaintive site of my old route far outweighs that of what I will ever save by subterranean train evasion. Maybe I can save time by falling down those stairs…
And the path was not only a critical artery of student traffic, it was historic as well. There is fossil evidence that the first Homo sapiens in the Americas, migrating down from what is now the Bering Strait, crossed over this pathway…all of them. I hear tell of some brave souls who still make the crossing, signifying the midpoint by jumping off the vestigial pavement around the track there in slow motion and claiming it to be “one small step for man” and at the same time “one giant leap for mankind.”
There are so many memories from this “passage between two worlds.” You will be hard-pressed to find one who does not miss that lumpy way. I think my roommate crashed my scooter trying to jump the tracks there last year. “I almost got hit by a train there,” attests Abby Deaton, second year. There is little doubt that the now vanished path clearly has a dedicated and loyal following. And while our eyes may no longer see it, our feet will always know the way.

The new foaming press for the manufacture of the FERROPLAST insulation system was commissioned in an official ceremony at the Lithuanian Schmitz Cargobull plant in Panevežys. With the new equipment the company expands its production capacity from the previous number of 10 insulated trailers to 30 trailers per day.
“Whether in the transport of fresh or frozen foods or of sensitive pharmaceutical products, this capacity expansion has a positive effect for customers. They benefit not only from higher flexibility, which results, among other things, in shorter delivery times, but also from more trailer variants, which we can manufacture in a more country-specific manner with the new equipment“, said Roland Klement, Chief Technical Officer at Schmitz Cargobull during the commissioning.
Besides S.CS curtainsider semi-trailers and S.KO reefer semi-trailers, M.KO truck box bodies for trucks and vans from 12 t as well as Z.KO central axle box trailers and A.KO box trailers are also manufactured at the Lithuanian factory. The additional capacity from the new foaming system will be used especially for the further expansion of the product range in the box body and trailer area.
The trucks with the M.KO body are used mainly for the inner-city distribution of goods as well as for local transport. It is for these vehicle bodies in particular that the new foaming system provides better insulation properties. The bolted subframe ensures compatibility with all the leading truck manufacturers. The finely-adjusted hole patterns in the subframe permit the body to be force-fitted to the manufacturer-specific and vehicle-specific attachment points.Depending on the task at hand and the customer’s requirements, the body can also be adjusted to meet various lengths and load requirements. Schmitz Cargobull is continuously developing its transport solutions in close cooperation with the customers.

Western Pacific Pelagic Fisheries; American Samoa Longline Gear Modifications To Reduce Turtle Interactions
This rule requires specific gear configuration for pelagic longline fishing in the South Pacific. The requirements apply to U.S. vessels longer than 40 ft (12.2 m) while fishing south of the Equator, and include minimum float line and branch line lengths, number of hooks between floats, and distance between floats and adjacent hooks. The rule also limits the number of swordfish taken. The action is intended to ensure that longline hooks fish deeper than 100 meters (m) to reduce interactions with Pacific green sea turtles. This final rule also makes administrative clarifications to the names of several tunas and marlins.

Different reptiles need different amounts of heat in order to be healthy — for example, what is perfect temperature for a bearded dragon is much too hot for a crested gecko. So it's very important to monitor the temperatures present in your reptile's enclosure with a thermometer.
The same goes for humidity levels. Different reptiles need different levels of humidity in their environment to stay hydrated and healthy. For example, a crested gecko needs high humidity, but a uromastyx prefers low humidity. And the only way to make sure you're providing enough humidity for your reptile's needs is with a hygrometer.
The Zoo Med Digital Combo Thermometer Humidity Gauge uses two probes and an easy-to-read display to monitor both temperature and humidity. The temperature probe is completely waterproof and is safe to submerge in water for monitoring water temperature.
Instructions for Use:
Place the temperature probe on the basking area and the humidity probe on the cool end of the terrarium. Mount the digital display in a dry location outside the enclosure.
Slide the Fahrenheit/Celsius switch to desired setting. Press power (pwr) button to turn on. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds to turn off.
For best results, we recommend using two Zoo Med Digital Combo Thermometer Humidity Gauges, with one placed on each end of the terrarium to monitor your temperature and humidity gradients.

The toolset optimizes energy efficiency programs that lower energy burdens and improve resilience to climate change. It supports an AI-enhanced workflow that quickly completes the property and building inventory and analysis, all visible through easy-to-use dashboards, to drive efficient demand side management and decarbonization programs.
Utility and government residential energy programs rely on property and building inventories for accurate and detailed assessments of opportunities for efficiency improvements. But the lack of a complete information source, especially for the multifamily sector, prohibits accurate inventories. The resources required to collect and analyze disparate datasets remains the biggest hurdle to energy efficiency programs. The Benchmark.AI toolset collects all available data, creates the property and building inventories, and performs the analysis needed to plan and monitor energy efficiency programs effectively.

Laughter is a nonverbal vocalization occurring in every known culture, ubiquitous across all forms of human social interaction. Here, we examined whether listeners around the world, irrespective of their own native language and culture, can distinguish between spontaneous laughter and volitional laughter—laugh types likely generated by different vocal-production systems. Using a set of 36 recorded laughs produced by female English speakers in tests involving 884 participants from 21 societies across six regions of the world, we asked listeners to determine whether each laugh was real or fake, and listeners differentiated between the two laugh types with an accuracy of 56% to 69%. Acoustic analysis revealed that sound features associated with arousal in vocal production predicted listeners’ judgments fairly uniformly across societies. These results demonstrate high consistency across cultures in laughter judgments, underscoring the potential importance of nonverbal vocal communicative phenomena in human affiliation and cooperation.

Asthma is a multifactorial disease with a major inflammatory component and numerous clinical triggers. New technologic modalities such as bronchoprovocation and bronchoalveolar lavage and the novel use of older techniques such as spirometry to identify late-phase responses and bronchial hyperirritability have confirmed the inflammatory nature of asthma and provide techniques that offer new opportunities to evaluate therapy. Previous animal models have not been predictive of therapies useful in humans. Newer animal models with sustained obstruction and inflammatory components will be useful in this regard. It has become clear that placebo-controlled, double-blind studies and comparisons with standard effective therapy are necessary before final decisions about the place of a new agent in the therapeutic armamentarium can be made. Previous studies have demonstrated the need to consider carryover and placebo effects, environmental influences on the disease process, and requirements for longer studies to complement those of short duration. Long-term studies are also required to uncover unsuspected modes of action, drug interactions, or toxicities. Critical features of administration, such as dose, frequency, technique of aerosol inhalation, and patient compliance, all need to be addressed. Concentration on single-drug therapy, as with theophylline, isoproterenol, or atropine, has often not been practical for long-term management of asthma. Therefore, regimens that combine drugs from different pharmacologic categories need to be considered in the evaluation of NBAAD. The traditional criteria for the determination of clinical efficacy, such as normalization of the abnormal physiology of asthma, improvement in the quality of life, and decreased use of other medications, continue to be fully pertinent to the evaluation of new NBAAD. However, these criteria are insufficient to define the mechanism of action of various new modalities that will be useful for the treatment of asthma. Additional criteria appropriate for specific agents have included changes in bronchial response to allergen or exercise. Long-term changes in airway reactivity to histamine or methacholine have correlated well with efficacy, as illustrated by the experience with cromolyn sodium. It has also proved very useful to evaluate the effect of a drug on the late phase of the allergic reaction. Often the efficacy of new agents has not been studied sufficiently in children to allow labeling of the drug for use in pediatric patients. Clinical trials of NBAAD should therefore be initiated in children at an earlier stage of drug development. Many studies have not benefited from the participation of a statistician in the early stages of study design, and therefore these studies have had inadequate power or have involved inappropriate methods of data analysis.

Solar cells with the structure ZnO/CdS/Cu 2ZnSnSe 4/Mo/glass were studied by photoluminescence (PL) before and after irradiation with a dose of 1.8 × 10 15 cm −2 and then 5.4 × 10 15 cm −2 of 10 MeV electrons carried out at 77 K in liquid nitrogen bath. The low temperature PL spectra before irradiation revealed two bands, a broad and asymmetrical dominant band at 0.94 eV from the CZTSe layer and a lower intensity high energy band (HEB) at 1.3 eV, generated by defects in the CdS buffer layer. Analysis of the excitation intensity and temperature dependencies suggested that the dominant band is free-to-bound (FB): the recombination of free electrons with holes localised at acceptors whose energy levels are affected by potential fluctuations of the valence band due to high concentrations of randomly distributed charged defects. Irradiation did not induce any new band in the examined spectral range (from 0.5 μm to 1.65 μm) but reduced the intensity of both bands in the PL spectra measured at 77 K without warming the cells. The higher the dose the greater was the reduction. After this the cells were warmed to 300 K and moved to a variable temperature cryostat to measure temperature dependencies of the PL spectra. After irradiation the red shift rate of the FB band with temperature rise was found to increase. Electrons displace atoms in the lattice creating primary defects: interstitials and vacancies. These defects recombine during and shortly after irradiation forming secondary defect complexes which work as deep non-radiative traps of charge carriers reducing the PL intensity and increasing the rate of the temperature red shift. Irradiation did not affect the mean depth of the band tails estimated from the shape of the low energy side of the dominant PL band.

In a roundtable discussion with health practitioners, funders, academics, and policy-makers, experts from Resolve to Save Lives identified key areas for improving global health practices. We emphasized the importance of evidence-based frameworks that are adaptive and responsive to prioritised health needs. Key recommendations include enhancing information-sharing, increasing social engagement, and promoting diversity in decision-making processes. We also highlighted the need for collaboration with both hyperlocal and global entities to strengthen global health capabilities. Since pandemic drivers extend beyond the health sector, integrating expertise from various fields is crucial for effective decision-making. We outline seven points to improve evidence-based prioritisation and enhance global health outcomes.

Rachael Ray Foundation grants boost ProStart culinary programs
Levi Roush loves ProStart.
The junior at Pulaski County High School attends the school’s culinary arts program and says the best part is learning how to cook and being taught the skills to succeed in the restaurant industry as well as in life. “As soon as I walk into the classroom, I know I won’t be bored because I get to have hands-on experiences as I learn.”
His teacher, Laura Norris, says Levi, and the rest of her students, all crave the real-world industry experiences that will help them move on to become members of the next generation of successful chefs, restaurateurs and business operators. The skills deliver a path out of the economic challenges they face in rural southwest Virginia.
Norris says that’s why she applied for one of the Rachael Ray Foundation’s ProStart Grow Grants this year.
Growing skills, creating opportunity
Thanks to Norris’ efforts, Pulaski became one of 27 high schools to receive $5,000 through the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation’s Rachael Ray Grow Grant program. They can use the money to upgrade and expand their ProStart programs and help the students hone their skills.
ProStart, a two-year career and technical education program focused on culinary arts and restaurant management, is taught in 1,700 schools across the country and currently enrolls 130,000 students.
Melissa Allphin, a ProStart educator at Moody High School in Moody, Ala., applied for the grant in the hopes that if her school was selected, a portion of the funds would go to covering student fees so more kids could take her class. Her student, Alyssia Turner, says being able to attend her ProStart class means she can continue pursuing her dream of a career in the restaurant industry.
“I’m from a single-parent household and we struggle financially,” she says. “The students who take this class with Chef Allphin know she does what she can, but that she can’t do everything. This grant gives us the opportunity to turn our dreams into realities.”
Allphin says her students were her winning ingredient.
“I have kids with hearts to carry them out of the poverty here, and I fight to help those with the will to do so,” she says. “These kids work hard to be better than the next group because it’s their ticket to the future.”
Earmarked for supplies, fees
Recipients said they planned to use the grant money on such items as new equipment, textbooks, culinary uniforms and to help cover some students’ school fees. Many applicants reported they can use the help now more than ever due to financial crises associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
“ProStart educators and students have persevered through this difficult year and are continuing to pursue their passions for restaurants and foodservice against all odds,” says Ray, the award-winning television personality and philanthropist.
“The Rachael Ray Foundation is proud to support their dreams to become future chefs and restaurateurs and provide them with the resources they need to be successful in their classrooms. We can’t wait to see what they will accomplish.”
“The Rachael Ray Foundation is one of our most charitable partners,” says Rob Gifford, president of the Foundation. “With its support, we’re thrilled to offer these ProStart Grow Grants. This grant funding will ensure that students interested in restaurant and hospitality careers will get the resources and tools they need to succeed in their classrooms and advance their futures as schools reopen and the restaurant industry continues to rebuild.”

A Marketing Manager got married to a woman who had previously been married eight times. On his wedding night, his wife informed him that she was still a virgin. This puzzled the Marketing Manager, since after eight marriages he thought that at least one of her husbands would have been able to perform. He asked his new bride to explain the phenomena. Her comments were as follows:
My first husband was a Sales Representative who spent our entire marriage telling me, in grandiose terms, “It’s gonna be great!”
My second husband was from Software Services; he was never quite sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he would send me documentation.
My third husband was from Field Service who constantly said that everything was diagnostically “OK”, but he just couldn’t get the system up.
My fourth husband was from Educational Services, and he simply said, “Those who can… do; those who can’t… teach.”
My fifth husband was from SRDO who said that he had the orders, but he wasn’t quite sure when he was going to be able to deliver.
My sixth husband was an engineer. He told me that he understood the basic process but needed three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
My seventh husband was from Finance & Administration. His comments were that he knew how, but he just wasn’t sure whether or not it was his job.
My eighth husband was from Standards and Regulations and told me that he was up to the standards but that regulations said nothing about how to do it.
The wife said sweetly to her new husband, “Now I am married to you, a man of Marketing.” The husband looked at his wife and simply said, “I know I have the product, I’m just not sure how to position it!”

The parents of the Louisville mass shooter just spoke up.
I have to say, their statement did not exactly shock me.
What was disturbing, however, is that we see a repeated pattern that hints this shooting could have been avoided.
Connor Sturgeon’s parents stated, “While Connor, like many of his contemporaries, had mental health challenges which we, as a family, were actively addressing, there were never any warning signs or indications he was capable of this shocking act.
“While we have many unanswered questions, we will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement officials and do all we can to aid everyone in understanding why and how this happened.”
Sturgeon had only gotten his weapon a few days earlier.
He had reportedly talked to people about his mental health issues.
And, while I have not been able to verify the report yet, I just read a report he had told friends or posted something about the attack.
How are these people that are so screwed up in the head able to get a gun in their hands?
As I have stated many times, if we ever came close to enforcing the laws on the books, this nonsense would not be happening, but Democrats just want to put more laws on the books solely so they can say they did something about gun violence.
You want to start doing something about gun violence, look at this never-ending theme of mental illness that gets revealed in every one of them.

Because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I’m going to copy my friend Mary Blayney‘s idea and talk about interesting ancestors. Mary’s family has a very interesting fellow in the the family tree, Major General Lord Blayney, whom she wrote about on History Hoydens (part 1 and part 2) and who lived during the Regency, fought against Napoleon’s army, and became a prisoner of war. He even wrote a book about it, available on Google Books.
My ancestors are not so impressive, but there is one who has a good story. In 1836, My great great grandfather, Joseph Batt, brought his wife and eight of his nine children from Alscace Loraine to America. On the voyage over, there was a terrible storm and it looked as if the ship was certain to perish. My grandfather, a devout Catholic, prayed to the Virgin Mary, promising her he would build a shrine in her honor if she spared his family from the storm. The storm subsided and the family arrived safely in their new country.
Batt made good on his promise. He settled near Buffalo, New York, where his oldest son had already settled. Soon he prospered. He built a chapel on his land, just as he’d promised. The chapel still stands today: Our Lady Help of Christians in Cheektowaga, NY.
I wish I could say I visited this chapel, but I haven’t. I did not even know about it until I was well into adulthood. Although when I was growing up my family often visited our Buffalo relatives, I’ve been there rarely as an adult and my unsentimental family just never talked about or visited this wonderful place.
How about you? Do you have any interesting stories of ancestors?
Only a little more than two weeks before the release of The Unlacing of Miss Leigh. Also on April 1, you can get The Diamonds of Welbourne Manor from eharlequin. Check my website that day for the links.

The European Union (EU) is to fund a 30-month project aimed at building the capacity of more than 135 Jamaican civil society organisations (CSOs) that work in areas such as health, education and gender.
The work will be done in partnership with the Council of Voluntary Social Services (CVSS), which will spearhead an initiative called Advocate, Innovate and Mobilise (AIM) set to be launched on Thursday.
“CVSS is committed to building the capacity of its members and the extended community. Central to our organisation’s initiatives is representing the concerns of the social sector, especially those representing the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in Jamaica,” said Nancy Pinchas, executive director of the CVSS.
Aniceto Rodriguez Ruiz, first counsellor and head of Cooperation, Delegation of the European Union to Jamaica, Belize and the Bahamas, said CSOs are key actors in protecting and promoting democracy, the rule of law and human rights, which are fundamental values of the European Union.
“They are key partners in devising and implementing policies and programmes that meet people’s needs, reduce inequalities, and fulfil the central commitment of the global 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind,” he said.
The monetary value of the EU’s funding was not disclosed in statement from CVSS on Sunday.
The proposed 30-month intervention will target the CVSS’ 135 members, local CSOs, community-based organisations and volunteer groups with diverse interests such as health, education, youth and gender, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and the environment.
Through AIM, CVSS will implement a series of complementary and integrated activities that involve a CSO needs assessment survey, a series of training modules (including communication strategies, institutional strengthening, monitoring evaluation and learning and advocacy), micro-grants for CSOs and quarterly forums for sharing and collaboration.
CVSS was founded in 1940 as a coordinating body for non-governmental organisations involved in social development. It is the longest serving and largest umbrella non-governmental organisations in Jamaica.

A Clock is a device used to measure, keep, and indicate time. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia. With this clock based on the icon clock in Waterloo station both ways of displaying time have been captured. The 24-hour clock, popularly referred to in the United States and some other countries as military time and the 12-hour time convention which is common in several English-speaking nations and former British colonies, as well as a few other countries.

Ahead of the Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin and Rangers International of Enugu match, Afrinvest West Africa promised an N2.5 million prize to the winning team.
The match, scheduled for Saturday, January 6, 2024, at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Edo State, is part of Match Day 17 of the Nigeria Premier Football League. Kickoff is at 4 pm and millions of football fans across Nigeria and beyond will watch the match.
Speaking about the need to support the youth, Afrinvest West Africa Group Managing Director, Ike Chioke, reiterated the company’s commitment to helping young people achieve their goals.
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, founder of Afrinvest, the official jersey sponsor of Rangers, is rallying support for the Bendel Insurance club. Sports analysts have praised Obaseki’s commitment to developing sports and empowering youth.
According to Chioke, the winning team will receive N2.5 million from Afrinvest, while the losing team will get N500,000. In the event of a draw, each team will receive N1 million. The prizes will be paid into the Optimus by Afrinvest personal accounts of the players and club officials.
Launched in October 2022, Optimus by Afrinvest is a financial technology solution that harmonises banking, wealth management and brokerage services into one platform.
“We have built a personalised digital wealth management platform to provide innovative financial services to help you reach new heights financially,” Chioke said.
Chioke asserted that the firm can help young people, like those at Rangers International, become professionals and achieve international success. “They, too, will help uplift other young people and show the value of professionalism.”
In 2023, the Afrinvest Equity Fund was the top-performing listed equity mutual fund, returning over 60%. “All our funds are professionally managed to deliver strong returns,” the company stated.
Obaseki urged sports lovers to support Insurance at the tournament. Free buses will be provided by the Edo City Transport Service from various pickup points to boost attendance.
Chief of Staff, Osaigbovo Iyoha, encouraged the Insurance players to defeat the Rangers. “The Governor is behind you and has approved a package for you,” he said. “We are confident you will make the state proud.”

As its name implies, CheapestSoft Fast DVD Ripper allows you to rip DVD movies and encode them to other formats, namely AVI and MP4.
But it can also prepare items for VCD and SVCD videos, as well as extract the audio stream and store it as MP3 and AAC.
The interface of the app is plain and easy to work with. You can import a DVD video into the list by using only the folder view, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported. Unfortunately, you cannot process more than one item in a single session.
The file queue displays the title, chapters and duration of the DVD clip. So, you can specify the output destination and file type, in order to proceed with the encoding job with the default settings.
Advanced users can tinker with the audio and video settings when it comes to the quality, size, frame rate, codec, volume level, sample rate and channel mode. Unfortunately, you cannot restore settings to default or create output profiles.
But you can also preview clips in a built-in media player, select the audio track and subtitle language, as well as change the interface theme and set CheapestSoft Fast DVD Ripper to power off the computer when the task is done.
The DVD ripping tool runs on a moderate amount of system resources, in order to quickly finish a task. It has a good response time and includes user documentation. CheapestSoft Fast DVD Ripper did not freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests.
However, the tool doesn't do a very good job when it come to maintaining a good image and sound quality. Plus, you cannot specify the number of CPU cores to be used or set CheapestSoft Fast DVD Ripper to open the output directory after conversion.

Toshibas Latest Phototriac-Couplers Offer High Voltage Isolation and Low Trigger Currents
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has launched two new Triac-output photocouplers that provide reinforced insulation and low LED trigger currents of max. 3mA. The reduced trigger current enables TLP267J and TLP268J to control output at a lower input current, thus contributing to lower power consumption.
Both TLP267J and TLP268J have been designed for use in triac drivers, programmable logic controllers, AC output modules and solid-state relays used in home appliances and white goods.
TLP267J consists of a non-zero crossing photo triac, while TLP268J consists of a zero crossing photo triac. Both are coupled to a long-life gallium-arsenide infrared emitting diode (LED).
