In the 2013–2014 fiscal year, Boise State University underwent a Program Prioritization Process (PPP) adapted from Robert Dickeson’s Prioritizing Academic Programs and Services: Reallocating Resources to Achieve Strategic Balance. The review was mandated by the Idaho State Board of Education (SBOE) for public higher education institutions statewide. The SBOE required a review of all programs including the library. Programs in this case were defined by the SBOE as including “any activity or collection of activities that consumes resources (dollars, people, time, space, equipment).” When beginning this project, Boise State’s Albertsons Library had difficulty finding information on other libraries that had undergone Dickeson’s prioritization or found that the information available was not detailed enough to be helpful. Developing data and a narrative of meaning to university administrators and the SBOE that was also of value internally for benchmarking and future tracking of library programs and services was a challenge throughout the project.
This paper reports on a survey of other academic libraries reviewed under Dickeson’s process, the critical junctures early in the process, and the different decisions made by libraries at each juncture in comparison with choices made by Albertsons Library. Was the library included in the prioritization process and if yes, how? How were “programs” defined? What configuration of library programs resulted? What criteria were used to evaluate each program and who identified them? This paper also addresses the challenge of identifying metrics to measure the success of library programs within each criteria, the most and least valuable aspects of the process and what was learned by undertaking prioritization.

Just because Schubert is a marketing communications agency doesn’t mean that it’s any easier for us to stay on top of our agency’s blog. The fact is, it’s always easier to ride herd on clients than it is to police ourselves when it comes to posting. I think it’s one of those “shoemaker’s children have no shoes” dilemmas. We’re always so busy with client work that attending to our own marketing needs (we are a business, after all) always seems to get pushed to the back burner. I think that’s one of the hazards of working in a service business based on billable time. (Every agency person I have ever known has confessed to this same problem.) We’ve tried gentle persuasion and military schedules, but eventually contributions to our blog always seem to wane. “How do we keep pushing out blogs?” we wondered.
We needed help. We could sit here all day long but it wasn’t going to happen on its own. In the past we tried to just relax and let things flow. It didn’t happen. Some people were just blocked. Others were just so busy the urge to blog passed. There was no movement.
No one we know of had ever come up with anything to help get bloggers regular, so we created the help ourselves.
That’s right. Schubert’s Blog Bran! Just like the box says, “It’s part a balanced marketing plan.”
But this is not just a funny label. To motivate our team to “stay regular” with their contributions to our blog, the box is filled with tasty starter ideas that our staff can pick at random. And if someone has been irregular, we bring the Blog Bran to their office so they can sample from the box. Guaranteed that they blog within 24 hours and it won’t be crap! Our Blog Bran now has 20% more Branded Content, so our readers will be have plenty of relevant, compelling reading material to digest.
Many B2B companies are learning that participating in social media and producing quality branded content takes a lot of time and effort. It’s quite common for peoples’ interest to drop off after a new technology or tactic loses its novelty (Twitter, anyone?), and that stinks. But with a little creativity, you can keep your team engaged to get the most out of your social media efforts. Because if your team doesn’t regularly contribute to the social Net, you might as well flush your whole program.
What are some of your best ideas for regularly generating content and meeting your social media goals?

Desertification is one of the major threats to the environment and the global community. Changing climate, deforestation, changing agriculture methods and demand of resources are the important causes for the desertification. Due to dependency of human life on land, monitoring and mitigating the desertification effect is getting more attention over the years. The main objective of the study was to assess the natural factors impact on desertification process on a regional level by using the remotely sensed parameters like TRMM-precipitation, MODIS-evapotranspiration, MODIS-net primary productivity, and ASTER-DEM with the aid of AHP-GIS model. From the above mentioned sensor parameters, the indices like aridity, rainfall, rainfall use efficiency, NPP and slope are prepared for 2000-2012. TRMM data were downscaled to 1km spatial resolution to match the other parameters spatial scale for analysis. All the parameters were classified using the frequency distribution. Based on the classes the ranks were assigned and the weight of the parameters assigned by the expert’s opinions based on questionnaire survey. We converted each data into an annual scale for time series analysis. From the 12 year average data analysis, results showed that, 9.22% of the area is characterized by highly sensitive to desertification which is the southeast part of the state. Most of the area comes under the moderate sensitive area (83.45%) and 4.83% comes under the low sensitive area. The very low sensitive area exhibits only 2.5 %, which is the hilly region of the study area. We discuss the climate parameters, vegetation and topography parameters impact on desertification in the study area.

NASA's unprecedented asteroid experiment is still churning out results.
Last year in a mission called DART, the space agency intentionally slammed a sacrificial spacecraft into an asteroid called Dimorphos, which was 7 million miles from Earth. Scientists hoped to prove civilization could alter the path of a menacing asteroid — should one be on a collision course with our planet — and they successfully nudged the (non-threatening) 525-foot-wide space rock.
Now, planetary researchers are watching the aftermath of the event to gather all the information possible about how to best change the trajectory of, or deflect, a future incoming asteroid. NASA released an image captured by the legendary Hubble Space Telescope — orbiting some 332 miles above Earth — showing a "swarm of boulders" from the experimental impact, which you can see below.
"This is a spectacular observation – much better than I expected," David Jewitt, a planetary scientist at The University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement. "We see a cloud of boulders carrying mass and energy away from the impact target. The numbers, sizes, and shapes of the boulders are consistent with them having been knocked off the surface of Dimorphos by the impact."
"The boulders are some of the faintest things ever imaged inside our solar system," Jewitt added.
Hubble glimpsed these space boulders, ranging in size from three to 22 feet wide, from millions of miles away.
The 14,000 mph DART impact was like slamming a spacecraft the size of a vending machine into a space rock the size of a stadium.
Slamming a spacecraft into Dimorphos may sound dramatic — but the goal was just to give it a nudge. During a true deflection of an incoming asteroid, such a nudge would happen many years or decades in advance of the imminent collision. "That's enough time to make sure it misses Earth," Andrew Rivkin, a planetary astronomer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and one of DART's lead scientists, told Mashable last year. Over years, a tiny alteration in an asteroid's movement adds up to a big change in the ultimate trajectory.
Astronomers estimate that thousands of sizable asteroids over 460 feet wide remain unfound. Fortunately, astronomers have already located over 90 percent (and counting) of the rocks half-a-mile wide or bigger — the kind that could spell catastrophe for large swathes of Earth. But the smaller, more elusive rocks still have a strong potential to sneak up on us. A rock some 187 to 427 feet across swooped by Earth in 2019 and surprised scientists.
In the coming years, we'll get a close view of DART's impact scene. The European Space Agency's Hera mission will visit Dimorphos in 2026. One day, this first asteroid deflection experiment may play a role in saving countless lives from an incoming space rock. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If ecosystems are what the planet is made of, then economies are the funhouse mirrors that wildly distort the principles the two have in common. A diversity of species fill all the niches in a natural ecosystem. Humans fill most of those roles in urban ecosystems. Humans fill all of those roles in economies.
It is said that nature abhors a vacuum. The elimination of apex predators, parasites, and competing species do not leave voids. Those niches are filled by human equivalents. This becomes abundantly clear in urban ecosystems, but we do not think of it that way. We prefer to think we are civilized, that we can somehow rise above the laws of nature, that in fact we do not even need natural systems to flourish. Should we regress to the village living in fear of lions, to an era before medications rendered disease merely a chapter in history books? No, of course not, but the marvels of our modern age have conveniently allowed us to imagine we are now immune to ecology.
We have further complicated matters by overlaying economics on top of nature, failing to acknowledge that economies are themselves a type of ecosystem, in which all the niches are filled by people. The currency of nature is energy. That energy is parceled out into three basic categories: organismal growth (metabolic), movement (kinetic), and rest (potential). The currency of economies is money. It, too, has several functions, including growth (interest and investment), movement (the marketplace), and rest (savings, retirement). The ideal form of economics would operate much like a natural ecosystem in terms of energy flow, but this is not what is happening. The predatory lenders, the parasitic scam artists, the diseases of poverty and addiction, among many other villains, derail economies time and time again. Capitalism and socialism alike are prone to rampant corruption, resulting in the hoarding of wealth (financial currency) that starves the system.
The energy of nature is requisite, finite, and circulates freely. The currency of man is arbitrary in the value it assigns to objects and resources, and it does not flow as freely as it should. "Precious metals" and "precious stones" are only so because we say they are. Nature assigns equal value to all of its components. Our human economies now look at everything from land to certain categories of humans in terms of whether they can produce financial profit. This is in direct conflict with natural laws and so we see deforestation, desertification, poverty, climate change, endangered species, pollution, invasive species, mass incarceration, and racism and genocide. These are just the intolerable conditions that come immediately and randomly to mind. You can probably add to the list.
Our final failure lies in a stunning denial of the fact that no matter what we do, we answer to the whims of planet Earth. We started to see the effects of our economic practices on nature shortly after the Industrial Revolution, but now that we are in the digital age, we believe that technology can save us. Computers and cell phones still rely on the extraction of natural resources, which leads not only to pollution with the disposal of the outmoded generation of products, but to ruthless competition to harvest materials for the components, among other complications we conveniently turn our heads away from.
Ultimately, the future of nature comes down to the willingness of Homo sapiens to exercise restraint, in our sheer numbers, and in our economic impact. Every species dreams of being in our shoes, able to eliminate mortality factors, eliminate competitors, reproduce astronomically, and thoroughly dominate the landscape. It is an impossible "success" story, however, when you erode the foundation of your castle. We will adapt and truly evolve only if we recognize value beyond financial profit. The marketplace is artificial. The Earth is not. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Batman must always be exhausted. He jumps from roof to roof, battling countless villains that beat him to a near pulp. But luckily, Batman is a fictional character. So when it only takes him two issues to recover from spinal paralysis, I can buy into it. There’s no actual harm done to Batman considering his body is made up of newspaper and ink. However, Batman #102 not only makes Batman feel exhausted, it makes me feel exhausted.
Tynion just wrapped up Joker War in Batman #100. The story was a battle for “the soul of Gotham City”. It was an incredibly climactic event. This is why I don’t understand why Batman has to fight Ghostmaker for “the soul of Gotham City” in Batman #102. Not only does the concept of the story fling us right back into the action, but the pacing also does as well. Tynion’s new character Ghostmaker had absolutely no build-up. In this debut issue, Ghostmaker finds Batman as soon as possible and starts throwing punches. I think that this is generally a fun way to debut a character. Instead of some giant mystery like Hush or the Court of Owls, Ghostmaker comes in swinging. However, I don’t think it works right after a giant event. I think we need a few more issues to breathe before “Gotham’s soul” is back on the chopping block.
Even though this issue gave me a good bit of whiplash for tossing us back into Tynion’s nonstop climax, I did enjoy the core of the story. For a story about Ghostmaker, this issue focuses heavily on Clowhunter. And although the idea of a pre-teen gunning down criminals is pretty far-fetched, I think there is some interesting space to explore with the character. For me, this mostly comes down to how Bruce chooses to deal with his crime spree. Instead of just fracturing his jawbone and shipping him off to GCPD, he actually tries to reason with and rehabilitate him. I’m really looking forward to seeing this plot development in the future.
Ghostmaker on the other hand doesn’t offer much new to the Gotham gallery of rogues. The issue sets Ghostmaker up as one of Bruce’s former rivals during his training years. After countless others with this same backstory including Nobody and Karma, this feels uninspired. I think Tynion is just checking off his Batman trope list at this point. A hush-like mystery story, check. Big Joker story, check. The new villain from Batman’s past, check. And it doesn’t help that Ghostmaker’s first appearance features a bland monologue about, you guessed it, “the soul of Gotham City”. I’d like Batman and his villains to finally realize Gotham is a hellhole and move on.
While I do like some of the ideas here, Batman #102 isn’t doing anything new or exciting. And actually, it’s doing exactly what the last story just did two issues ago. I could definitely use some more time to get adjusted after Joker War, but Ghostmaker is here now. So let’s see what happens.

Annamie Paul could survive by recanting the threats tweeted by her former staffer. But it is hard to see how the internal strife is going to do anything but consign the Greens to the scrap heap of political history.
By Sheila Copps
First published in The Hill Times on June 21, 2021.
Internal party battles are the ugliest part of politics. And when they spill out into the open, everyone gets hurt.
The current debacle in the Green Party may fatally damage the leadership of Annamie Paul.
She could survive by recanting the threats tweeted by her former staffer.
But it is hard to see how the internal strife is going to do anything but consign the Greens to the scrap heap of political history.
One of the most important jobs of a leader is to keep their caucus happy.
In Paul’s case, she only had three members to worry about and last week she lost one of them.
But instead of standing down and spending some time in personal reflection on what went wrong, she concocted a crazy theory that it was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the anti-feminist, who worked against her to convince Fredericton Green Party MP Jenica Atwin to cross the floor to the Liberals.
Meanwhile, the two remaining MPs did not back Paul when the fight went public, with former leader and Green dean Elizabeth May calling on Paul to apologize to the floor crosser.
After a fiery press conference in which Paul blamed the internal turmoil on racism and sexism within the Green Party national executive, not a single caucus member came to her defence.
According to Paul, it was a busy day.
But the party executive decided that Paul’s only path to survival is to organize a joint press conference with British Columbia Green MP Paul Manly, in which she repudiates attacks on caucus members by her former chief adviser Noah Zatzman.
Zatzman is seen to have played a crucial role in Atwin’s defection, having responded to her pro-Palestinian tweet with a Facebook accusation of anti-Semitism against unspecified Green MPs.
Zatzman vowed in a post on Facebook to defeat them and replace them with “progressive climate change champions who are antifa and pro-LGBT and pro-Indigenous sovereignty and Zionists.”
The substance of his tweet should have been raising eyebrows even before Atwin bolted the tiny caucus.
Most Canadians currently believe that a vote for the Greens is a way of putting climate change at the forefront of the political agenda.
But when it is mixed with antifa and Zionism, the message gets a lot more muddled. And those Canadians who might have cast their ballots in principle for the Greens will likely decide to park their votes elsewhere in the next election.
If Paul cannot even manage a caucus of three, how can she possibly expect to run the country?
Instead of following the advice of elder Green statesman May by trying to get Atwin back into the fold by apologizing, Paul simply dropped another verbal bomb, accusing members of her own national executive of racism and sexism.
Two Atlantic Green national council members resigned last week. In a written statement to The Globe and Mail, departing Nova Scotia representative Lia Renaud said the subject of the national council meeting was “Annamie Paul’s leadership approach and relationship building skills.”
Renaud called the claims of sexism and racism against council members as “just another example of the toxic relationship and work conditions.”
There is no doubt that as a black Jewish woman, Paul is facing the kind of scrutiny that would not have been levelled at a middle-aged white man.
In Paul’s own words, the Green party’s historic vote for her leadership was intended to change the current Canadian gender and race dynamic.
Even if Paul is successful in repairing the recent damage done to the party’s reputation, how will she respond to her own accusations of Green Party racism and sexism?
With an election expected within the next two months, this fight has done irreparable damage to Green chances across the country.
And environmental supporters who previously parked their votes with the Greens will definitely be looking elsewhere.
According to an Abacus poll published last week, the Green Party is sitting at six per cent. The front-running Liberals are at 34 per cent with the Conservatives closing in at 29 per cent.
The New Democratic Party, following a Prairie uptake, is sitting at 21 per cent.
The Conservatives are not likely to benefit from this Green implosion. A fragmented status quo on the left is their path to victory.
The majority of loose Green votes could deliver a majority government to the Liberals.
Atwin’s move could prove prescient.

Why am I passionate about this?
I was a marathon runner, and then I became a cyclist and started racing bicycles, especially ultra events: 24-hour and 12-hour races. I love activities that require guts and perseverance. Characters who dig deep to accomplish what they want are the ones with whom I want to spend my reading and writing time.
Writing a book, doing good research, and being a good friend require the same characteristics. I know the healing power of activity and of pushing ourselves to excellence. I also know the huge benefit of finding friends who share our passions. When we’ve got those things, we can heal, we can strive, and we can thrive.
Rebecca's book list on young go-getters remaining loyal to friends
Why did Rebecca love this book?
I love Pippa, the main character, and just want to hang out with her non-stop. Like in my book, the main character is searching desperately for another young woman who has disappeared. Along the way, Pippa gets more and more drawn to the guy she’s searching with—just like Sadie does, which, for me, added to the excitement and the non-stop page-turning element.
But the search is full of heart-stopping moments of danger. I couldn’t put this down. It’s a thriller, a mystery, and full of friendship and love. The best possible combination! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How Faulty Transvaginal Mesh Implanting Leads To Serious Complications And Conditions
Transvaginal mesh is a synthetic net-like substance–typically constructed from polypropylene plastic–that is inserted to provide support to repair a damaged vaginal wall, to support the urethra, to fix pelvic organ prolapse (POP), or to fix stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Doctors deem the mesh to be “transvaginal” because the implant procedure goes through the vagina in what can often be a complicated, lengthy surgery–the procedure is also one that has the potential for serious problems if done improperly or if the mesh material itself is faulty.
A few of the more serious conditions linked to transvaginal mesh implant may include:
- Pain and bleeding
- Infections and scarring
- Bowel, bladder, or blood vessel perforation
- Lower back pain
- Chronic vaginal drainage
- Additional reparatory surgeries
According to a Yale Medicine report “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently halted sales of surgical mesh devices used for transvaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
“The FDA said that the manufacturers of the devices used for this type of pelvic organ prolapse repair had not demonstrated a reasonable assurance of their safety or effectiveness by the FDA deadline.
Reports and Studies Link Faulty Transvaginal Mesh Implant Cases On The Rise
According to a Mayo Clinic website report “Each use of mesh carries its own risks and benefits.
“Use of surgical mesh through the vagina to treat POP has been associated with higher rates of mesh-related complications, including mesh poking through the vaginal skin, pelvic pain and pain with intercourse.
“In 2019, the FDA ordered manufacturers of surgical mesh for the transvaginal repair of POP to stop selling and distributing their products in the U.S.
“If you've had transvaginal mesh placed for the surgical repair of POP, continue with your routine care. If you have complications or symptoms, talk to your doctor.”
Complications reported in lawsuits against the manufacturers—which have resulted in nearly $8 billion in settlements to 100,000 women—include:

We believe that victims of faulty transvaginal mesh implants and their families should be able to address the doctors and institutions that were allegedly the source of the faulty surgeries and get the compensation and justice they deserve.

The expansion of organic farming in Indiana is worth celebrating. It’s beneficial to people, the environment and the economy.
According to 2019 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of organic farms in the United States had risen by over 50% in the last decade, covering about 5.5 million acres, a 38% increase from 2008.
When ranked against other states for organic production, Indiana falls somewhere near the middle.
Of course, geography plays a role in this ranking, as not all locations are created equal in terms of farmable landscapes.
As an agricultural state, we can and should raise our standing. Here in the Corn Belt, pivoting to organic farming methods could be just the boost the industry needs.
Organic farming promotes a healthier lifestyle by making available more fresh vegetables and fruits that are free of chemical pesticides.
As noted in a recent article, food waste can be converted into materials that encourage healthy soil that helps microbes carry nutrients to plants more effectively. Not only are we growing food that is healthier for us, but the food waste converted into compost helps the environment.
Organic farmer Sam Johnson informed The Herald Bulletin that he uses physical barriers on his farm near Anderson to keep insects, weeds and irritants away from the crops.
This practice benefits us because it means we will be no longer have pesticides on our fruits and vegetables. It also preserves the ecosystem, allowing for healthier soil and cleaner air.
Anyone who has shopped in the organic food section at the local grocery store has probably noticed that the organic food is not exactly priced for the family on a shoestring budget. However, with more farmers converting to organic and more small-scale farms getting into the business, we could potentially see organic food prices become more affordable.
As we pull our economy out of the pandemic slump, lawmakers should consider the promotion of organic farming as a means to boost the state’s economy. Providing incentives to farmers who convert to organic operations will offset the risk and expense of this venture and result in better living for all Hoosiers.
Organic farming reduces pollution and increases overall well-being. Expanding its practices can boost the bottom line for farmers and bring about affordable prices for consumers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Standard iButton electronic keys – €0.76/pc. (Pack of 100 pieces)
- Brand: BulKey
- SKU: iButton100
iButton electronic keys are 64 bit code used for access control. Due to the presence of so many code combinations, the system gives extremely high reliability of unlocking protection by using high-tech computers and systems.
The uniqueness of the iButton code is guaranteed. Duplicating or stealing ignition key code is extremely difficult and almost impossible, and if someone does decide to do it, they need to have a physical key that works for a targeted system. If you lose your electronic key, simply delete it from the system – this solves absolutely all problems and concerns (even if the key has copies and they will not work) (Bulkey BKU controllers allow individal control of every single key – See more here BKU 219 ; BKU419 )
The systems working with this type of iButton electronic keys use a built-in reader, which is metal and is extremely vandal-resistant – it withstands mechanical and electronic impacts, shocks, sticks and glues; is not affected by external climatic conditions. Due to the shape (patented by the Lessi company), the principle of operation and the chrome coating, the iButton reader is best suited for use on external doors that everyone has access to – residential, common entrances, elevators, garages, shops and others. The reader does not consume energy during its operation, this allows the plant to work for a very long time on emergency power.
Another advantage of the reader is that it can be installed directly in the door or cash register, regardless of its material. The strong grip of the reader prevents it from being stolen.

Professional football was officially suspended at the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939\. With their contracts terminated, players were free to join the Armed Forces and, by April 1940, 514 were enlisted in the Army, 84 in the RAF and 31 in the Royal Navy. Many others were involved in war work; one factory in Oldbury boasted 18 West Bromwich Albion players.
Of those who joined up 80 were to die. These included English International Tom Cooper who had played for Liverpool, Derby County and Port Vale, Alan Fowler of Swindon Town who died after D Day serving with the Dorsets, and Herbie Robert of Arsenal. Many were household names as Gareth Bale and Wayne Rooney are today.
In this powerful and evocative memorial book the author traces the footballing and military careers of these talented men who sacrificed all for King and Country. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The BMW 2 Series was introduced in 2014 as a successor to the BMW 1 series E88/E89 vehicles. The F22 / F23 steering racks can fail for a variety of different reasons.
There can be an internal electrical failure- of the control module that will case the EPS to fail and the steering failure message to illuminate on the dash. The module will often not communicate with a scanner to read any fault codes.
The steering racks can also suffer from mechanical failure of different types. The rack teeth can wear unevenly causing a knock when turning the steering wheel. As well as a knock when on bumpy ground.
Water ingress can also be an issue that can cause the rack to make a grinding noise when turning the steering wheel.
The mounting bolts that secure the motor to the steering rack body can also shear this, in turn, causes the motor to come loose and even fall off of the rack in some cases.
Our reconditioned exchange steering racks for the F models will cure any of these failures that we have described.

“ It rained.
And in the rumble and tumble in a star planet 10,000 light years away a farmer was planting her future child into the ground at the wrong- dare I say perfect time. By some misfortune this seed, the size of a pebble and shaped like a star, flew out of her hand swirling and twirling, gaining momentum and growing as it flew further and further away from the star planet- as if it was it’s destiny to leave home before it was born.
The scientist deemed it a meteor, as it landed in the middle of nowhere on Earth on that same stormy day and they had no desire to investigate. It sank into the ground and with the power of the rain and the time traveling it sprouted at an exponential rate, giving birth to STARSEED.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Why do I sometimes give preschoolers stickers for craft time? Am I being lazy? No. When used intentionally, stickers provide multiple benefits for preschoolers.
Benefits of giving preschoolers stickers
- Before they can effectively hold a pencil, a child needs to strengthen their fine motor muscles and hand-eye coordination.
- Simply put, fine motor muscles are the small muscles in the hands. These muscles are used to do fine detail tasks such as holding a pencil, picking up a spoon, and putting beads on a string, among countless other tasks. When a child strengthens these muscles in their pre-writing years, they have an advantage when it comes time to learn to write. Peeling stickers and putting them on paper, exercises those fine motor muscles.
- Hand-eye coordination is another super valuable skill for preschoolers to develop. In basic terms, it is getting one’s hand to go where one wants it to go. Activities such as feeding oneself with a spoon, writing letters, and giving high fives require good hand-eye coordination. Coordinating hands to peel the stickers and then placing the stickers where they want on the paper, are great ways to practice using hand-eye coordination.
- In our fast-paced world, teaching a child to sit down and focus on one task for a length of time can be challenging. Stickers, I have found, can bring surprising results in this regard. Some children, though not all, are willing to sit down and work hard on peeling those stickers for longer than they would typically sit. Please don’t get me wrong with this one. Yes, we want children to be up and moving, engaged in active play, but it is also important for them to be developing their attention span. Having a longer attention span can enable them to get deeper into play rather than bouncing from one toy to the next.
- Most children enjoy stickers. As a teacher, I have a few children who do not enjoy craft time. Stickers might grab the interest of a child who typically dislikes crafts and help them begin to realize that sitting down to do crafts can be fun.
Tips for a smoother sticker time
- Cut the sheet of stickers into strips
- Rather than handing a full sheet of stickers to a child, cut the sheet into strips. For really small stickers I find 6 or 7 stickers per strip is a good number as the paper is then big enough for the child to hold. For bigger stickers, I often cut them into groups of two or three. Giving the child only one of these strips of stickers at a time helps keep them focused and motivated as it isn’t an overwhelming number of stickers and there are fewer stickers to choose from at a time.
- Remove sticker blank areas
- I recently discovered that removing the blank areas around the actual stickers makes it far easier for little hands to peel the stickers. (See picture.)
- Teach children to bend the paper
- Some children need me to teach them how to get the stickers. I show them that bending the paper causes the sticker to lift up for easy removal. (See picture.)
- Avoid “thin papery” stickers
- Beware of thin papery stickers as they may rip easily when being peeled from the paper, making the activity difficult and discouraging for children.
- Mess-free craft
- This is an excellent craft for picture day. When all my children are dressed in their finest outfits, and feeling fidgety due to the special day, stickers are my go-to. They won’t stain fancy clothes and the children are excited to use them.

For homeowners and renters alike, finding solutions that enhance both the privacy and functionality of living spaces is crucial. Among the myriad of options available, blackout curtains stand out not only for their ability to block out light but also as efficient privacy enhancers. The dual functionality makes blackout curtains a smart, versatile choice for any room in your home.
Why Blackout Curtains? Blackout curtains offer more than just darkness. These curtains also provide an excellent barrier against outside visibility, ensuring that your private moments stay private. Whether you’re in a bustling city apartment or a street-facing house, blackout curtains are essential to maintaining personal space and comfort.
Enhanced Privacy The thick and opaque material of blackout curtains prevents any prying eyes from seeing through windows, adding a layer of security to your personal space. This feature is particularly beneficial for rooms that face the street or nosy neighbors. Not only do they protect your interior from unwanted gazes, but they also help in creating a personal sanctuary where you can relax without worries.
Insulation and Energy Savings An added benefit of the dense fabrics used in blackout curtains is their ability to insulate your rooms. These curtains can reduce heat loss during the winter and keep out heat during the summer, which helps in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your home. This thermal insulation can lead to significant energy savings as well, as it lessens the need for heating and air conditioning.
Sound Reduction Blackout curtains can also dampen noise, which is a boon for anyone living in a noisy neighborhood. The thick material of the curtains can help reduce the intrusion of traffic, neighborhood chatter, and other common disturbances. This makes blackout curtains ideal not just for bedrooms, but also for home offices and study rooms where concentration and tranquility are required.
Aesthetic Appeal Far from being merely functional, modern blackout curtains come in a variety of styles, colors, and fabrics that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your rooms. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or something more traditional, there's likely a blackout curtain that matches your home décor perfectly.
Versatility The versatility of blackout curtains makes them suitable for virtually any room in your home. From the bedroom and nursery, where they promote better sleep, to living rooms and home cinemas where they enhance viewing quality by preventing glare – blackout curtains offer practical solutions across the board.
If you're interested in blackout curtains that combine elegance with effectiveness, consider the Sleepout Home Black Out Curtains. They are designed to suit the needs of any home, providing privacy, energy efficiency, and a stylish look all in one package.
Conclusion In summation, blackout curtains are not just for those seeking to block out the light; they are an indispensable tool for enhancing privacy in your home. With numerous additional benefits such as energy savings, noise reduction, and aesthetic versatility, blackout curtains are truly a smart solution for any room. Give them a try and notice the instant upgrade in your living space's functionality and style. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Boston College vs. Penn State: 5 Big Questions — #1
Q: And now for the biggest question of all: Does Boston College find a way to rush to victory, or does Penn State’s defense clamp down for a Pinstripe Bowl win?

BL: This one seems like a very difficult one to predict. The Penn State offense really had trouble scoring this year, but was bailed out continually by the defense. I do think that the extra practices will be huge for the offense. Boston College was good against the run this year, and Penn State couldn’t run. That means I’m not expecting much out of the running game.
The key for Penn State in this one clearly has to be Christian Hackenberg. He still has a lot of talent, it just hasn’t shown through this year. If he gets time to throw the ball I think he’ll be able to take advantage of the Boston College secondary However, that won’t be easy, as the front seven of Boston College could dominate the Penn State offensive line.
I do see Penn State catching some breaks and putting some points on the board, even if some of the scores are field goals by Sam Ficken.
On the defensive side of the ball, Penn State was the best against the run this year. Sure, I know Boston College can run the ball, but I don’t think it will happen against this defense. The Eagles could get some yards, but Penn State clamps down near the red zone.
I have a feeling this will be a bit of an ugly, low-scoring game. I expect a defensive struggle, with it all coming down to who catches the most breaks. Something like 7-3 seems likely at halftime. In the end, I’m taking the Nittany Lions 17-10 in a very competitive contest. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I made this post, outlining my verdict about whether or not Chromium is more secure than Firefox. At the very end of the post, I noted “GrapheneOS did not respond to my requests for a comment.”
Well, after weeks with no reply, they finally responded. I don’t plan to do any more research about this topic, but this information is still incredibly valuable. Keep in mind the questions I asked the GrapheneOS team were created before I had done much research about the topic. Here are the questions and GrapheneOS’s replies:
Does Firefox have isolation between tabs?
Is Firefox’s implementation of tab isolation as secure as Chromium’s?
no, it’s incomplete and their sandbox is significantly weaker across all platforms, but it varies based on platform
Firefox uses Fission to isolate embedded content from the main website. Is Fission used for tab isolation as well?
Is Fission the main cause of concern about Firefox’s security?
there are many ways in which it’s less secure than Chromium, but the weak sandbox particularly that’s entirely not implemented on Android is one of the main issues
Are there other reasons why Chromium is more secure than Firefox, besides Fission?
Chromium uses full garbage collection for a lot of the C++ objects, has much more hardened memory allocators for native allocation, has the V8 sandbox as another layer of security missing in Firefox before the OS sandbox, has much more fuzzing, auditing, etc. and much more modern exploit mitigations implemented too
Firefox is far behind in nearly every way and laid off a lot of their security people
Isolation of embedded content is important to prevent Spectre and Meltdown exploits, but is this actually something that an everyday user will be majorly affected by? It seems that, unless you are logging in through embedded content, there is far less risk associated with this from an everyday standpoint. Again, more security is obviously better, but is this as big of an issue as it’s made out to be?
yes it impacts users because browser vulnerabilities are widely exploited in the wild and the OS sandbox is one of the main defenses against it, as is the V8 sandbox feature entirely missing in Firefox
Google heavily monitors for browser exploits and catches a lot of it happening in the wild
Mozilla / Firefox has little visibility into it
therefore, it’s much more widely reported for Chrome but does not mean it isn’t happening with Firefox regularly
Is Firefox less secure on Linux (besides Qubes, Tails, etc.) than other desktop operating systems?
Tails is not a hardened OS at all, that’s a misconception about it, and it has nearly all the problems of desktop Linux
Firefox on desktop Linux has weaker sandboxing than elsewhere
on Android they haven’t even implemented a content sandbox, although the OS provides an app sandbox around it as a whole but that’s not the same thing
In which ways are Fission less secure than Chromium’s Site Isolation?
it’s not even completed yet, the issue is still open since not everything is isolated yet and there are known ways out
Does Brave provide the same privacy against fingerprinting as the Tor Browser?
Brave’s is not strictly better or worse
neither anti-fingerprinting approach works well
Could you provide good resources for my article about the state of Firefox security on Android?
no, but it is awful, they don’t even implement any content sandbox let alone site isolation, and have almost no exploit mitigations or anything implemented
Would it be easy for a developer to create a fork of Firefox for Android that uses isolatedProcess?
no, but it’s easy for them to do it relative to doing it elsewhere
Would using isolatedProcess in Firefox fix isolation issues? If not, what would still need done?
no, but it would allow them to provide a content sandbox on Android and partial site isolation to the extent they implement it overall
Is there tab isolation for Firefox on Android? Is this as secure as Chromium’s?
there’s an incomplete implementation, and no, it’s not nearly as secure aside from being incomplete | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Becoming a Paramedic
Turn your passion for helping others into an exciting career!
What is a Primary Care Paramedic (PCP)
A paramedic is a specialized healthcare professional who is primarily trained to respond to emergency calls for medical help outside of a hospital. Paramedics primarily work in ambulances as part of the emergency response services.
Paramedics may also provide medical care outside of an emergency response environment. For example, they may provide:
- Care to a patient transferring from one health facility to another (both ground and aeromedical)
- Care within an emergency department and/or Nursing Station
- Care in community settings (Community Paramedicine, Palliative Care)
- Care through private companies on industrial sites or at special events
- Paramedics can also function as educators and administrators

The place of departure for a lot of creative work are feelings that begin abstract, unclear and ambiguous. And the creative process is the avenue in which confessed feelings are explored.
So much of what we think we feel is dominated by rationalized feelings; that we should and shouldn’t feel a certain way. Instead of being honest to ourselves and to others, we believe that there are certain feelings that are acceptable, and some that are not. We have the fear that if and when we recognize and admit to a (negative) feeling that is undesirable, then it must be a (negative) reflection of ourselves – but this isn't true because being human is feeling the highs and the lows.
When we begin to rationalize, we allow feelings to come second. Feelings and thoughts cannot coexist at the same time because once we begin to rationalize, we've already surrendered the capacity to feel. But we can change that.
Shop jewelry and objects collection
A powerful mindset when it comes to healing is accepting how you feel – staring at yourself inward out to recognize the immediacy of your feelings of happiness, love, amusement, hurt, sadness, anger, or fear. You can feel hurt and sad and it has nothing to do with anything outside of yourself because no one – not a single person or thing can tell you your truest most honest feelings. When a feeling passes, rationalizing it becomes more practical because thinking processes information to help solve the problems that our feelings may present.
Confessed feelings is the root of being true to yourself that align actions with feelings; the way I think the most authentic artists/creatives create. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

During the buildup to the Iraq war, placards nationwide read: "War is not the answer." Some people asked: "Then what is the answer?" Public opinion polls at the time disclosed a powerful reality that our ethics has been overlooking: Just arguing no to a war, without providing a clear alternative, is a sure way to lose the national debate.
Americans initially supported every war in the 20th century. They initially supported even the Vietnam War, which failed all eight criteria of just war theory and which ultimately was viewed as a mistake by 80 percent of Americans. So it is no surprise that a majority supported the Iraq war near its beginning (albeit with the lowest initial support for a war in the last 100 years of American war-making). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Accurics: 96 Percent of Reported Cloud Security Issues Aren’t Addressed
According to a report recently released by cloud security vendor Accurics, 96 percent of cloud security issues reported during production are not being addressed. This information comes from the May 2020 edition of the State of DevSecOps report, which was conducted using a combination of proprietary data from Accurics as well as
publicly available sources.
The vendor’s research determined that only four percent of cloud security issues discovered during production are ever addressed. Accurics called these results “not surprising” considering that cloud configurations needs to be traced back to a developer in order to fix the configuration. This requires redeployment of the cloud, which is often an expensive proposition — and apparently, not worth it for many organizations.
Accurics also found that cloud developers were shifting towards provisioning cloud infrastructure through code. The researchers discovered that 24 percent of cloud configuration changes are made via code, which Accurics called “significant adoption” given how recent infrastructure as code technologies have been developed.
In the report, Accurics Chief Technology Officer Piyush Sharrma stated: “Cloud infrastructure is becoming increasingly “immutable”: it is never modified after it is deployed. If something needs to be changed, new infrastructure has to be provisioned through code. While this approach enables agility and reliability, current security practices are becoming untenable for protecting transient cloud infrastructure. […] Cloud service providers continue to bolster capabilities that enable organizations to implement tighter controls, and many organizations have invested in one or more cloud security tools. The crux of the issues lies in the fact that as the cloud native stacks become more complex, point cloud security solutions become inadequate and gaps in coverage start to emerge.”

SURPRISE VIDEO: Special Olympics Missouri athlete nominated to compete at 2023 Special Olympics World Games
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO) is very excited to announce longtime athlete Charlie Phillips has been nominated to represent Special Olympics Missouri and Special Olympics USA at the 2023 Special Olympics World Games in Berlin, Germany.
Before he’s officially selected to compete for Special Olympics USA, he will have to complete Special Olympics USA Team Trials in San Antonio, Texas this November. He is the only SOMO athlete to be nominated for the 2023 Special Olympics World Games.
Charlie learned about this amazing honor at the Missouri Western State University football game on Thursday night. You can watch the emotional surprise announcement during the first quarter break in the video below.
“It’s tears of joy, and I can’t believe I got nominated by wonderful people who I call my Special Olympics family,” Phillips said after the announcement. “I just can’t wait to go to the next level. Right now, I’m so excited. I just can’t wait to call everyone and tell them I’m going to camp!”
Charlie is 25 years old, and he’s already accomplished so much in his Special Olympics career. Charlie grew up in central Pennsylvania. He got his start with Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) almost 15 years ago. In 2010, Charlie participated in his first-ever Special Olympics USA Games as a part of SOPA’s track team. Charlie’s family ended up moving to Savannah, Mo., and he never skipped a beat. In 2018, Charlie was back at the USA Games as a powerlifter for SOMO. During his career, Charlie has participated in five different sports: basketball, track, soccer, flag football and powerlifting.
The Special Olympics World Games will be held June 17-25 in Berlin, Germany. 7,000 Special Olympics athletes and Unified partners from approximately 170 countries will compete in 24 sports. The athletes will be supported by more than 3,000 coaches and 20,000 volunteers.
The Special Olympics World Games offer the opportunity to unite the world like no other event can. Here people with and without disabilities, people of different nations, cultures, political views and religions meet and can overcome existing prejudices with the power of sport.
Special Olympics Missouri
Special Olympics Missouri is a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Thousands of athletes participate in 16 Olympic-type sports throughout the state. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy as they participate in the sharing of gifts and friendship with their fellow athletes, their family and friends and communities across Missouri.
Special Olympics Missouri is proud of our financial health returning 78% of every dollar back to program services.

Is your furry friend beginning to show signs of aging? Just like humans, dogs go through the natural process of getting older, and it’s important to adjust your care routine to accommodate their changing needs. Whether you’ve been together since your pup’s puppy days or welcomed them into your family as an adult, understanding how to care for an older dog can ensure many more years of companionship and happiness. In this guide, we’ll explore the aging process in dogs and offer tips on how to provide the best care for your aging canine companion.
Understanding the Aging Process
Dogs, like humans, age at different rates depending on factors such as breed, genetics, and overall health. While some may show signs of aging earlier than others, it’s essential to recognize the common changes that occur as dogs grow older. These changes can manifest in various ways, from decreased energy levels to changes in appetite and behavior. By familiarizing yourself with your dog’s individual needs and adjusting your care routine accordingly, you can help them navigate the aging process with ease.
Caring for Your Older Dog’s Health and Well-being
As your dog ages, they may experience changes in their digestive health and energy levels. Dental issues, digestive problems, and decreased appetite are common concerns among older dogs, which may require adjustments to their diet and nutrition. Specialized foods designed for senior dogs can help address these issues, providing softer textures and essential nutrients tailored to their aging bodies. Additionally, maintaining a consistent exercise routine can help keep older dogs active and healthy, even as their energy levels fluctuate.
Recognizing Symptoms and Seeking Veterinary Care
While some changes in behavior and mobility are a normal part of the aging process, sudden or severe symptoms should never be ignored. Limping, difficulty moving, and changes in mobility could indicate underlying health issues such as arthritis or joint problems. It’s essential to monitor your dog closely for any signs of discomfort or distress and consult with your veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms. Regular check-ups and preventive care can help catch potential health problems early and ensure your dog receives the appropriate treatment.
Providing Comfort and Support
As your dog enters their golden years, it’s essential to prioritize their comfort and well-being. Simple adjustments to their living environment, such as providing soft bedding and easy access to water and food bowls, can make a significant difference in their quality of life. Spending quality time together, engaging in gentle exercise, and offering plenty of love and affection can also help keep your older dog happy and content.
Embracing the Journey Together
Watching your beloved dog grow older can be a bittersweet experience, but with the right care and attention, you can help them age gracefully and comfortably. By staying vigilant for signs of aging and addressing their changing needs proactively, you can ensure that your furry friend enjoys their golden years to the fullest. Remember, the bond between you and your dog only grows stronger with time, and by working together, you can navigate the journey of aging with love and compassion.
If you have any questions or concerns about caring for your older dog, don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable staff at Southeast Animal Eye Specialists. We’re here to provide support and guidance to help you and your canine companion enjoy many more years of happiness together. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The holiday season is drawing to a close, and soon the legislative session for the Georgia General Assembly will be upon us. As the state closes out its year, we look to the future and what promise or plague our policy makers will bestow upon us. I have spent an unhealthy amount of time this season pondering the fate of Georgia, as if I have any real means of addressing it. I have not blogged in some time, as I have had little hope that the politics of the day are bearing anything other than strange fruit. It is hard, even for an eternal optimist in these days of constant rain to see the silver lining. Across the red hills, I see a lot of barriers that not only exist, but are perpetuated without real cognizance of their consequence.
Along with the temperature, I see the passion of Georgia’s people heating up like a kiln. Many of us in the political sphere refer to this time as “the calm before the storm” of legislative session. We spend time with our families, count our blessings, and prepare ourselves for the battle of will in government. Under the surface though, there is something simmering here and in the nation that Presidential candidate Donald Trump and the Black Lives Matter movement have accentuated and possibly exploited.
It is widely assumed that the upcoming session will be brief and not much policy other than education passed. Incumbents need time to raise money and campaign in their districts. This abbreviated session may be a mixed bag of course, addressing a big problem, yet not the only one the state faces. I am grateful to see the QBE funding formula finally addressed (as the last time was almost before my birth), yet I cannot shake the very real feeling I have had for the last five years or so.
The General Assembly is thinking too small. Continue reading “Red Clay and the Challenge of Equality: To Be Mired In or Molded” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After rumors that Liverpool is working hard to get Virgil van Dijk, a £43 million guy sends a wordless message to him.
Following Holland’s triumph over Senegal, yesterday reported Liverpool transfer target Cody Gakpo texted Virgil van Dijk.
Gakpo has been a standout name in the build-up to the tournament, with numerous rumors swirling about his future.
He is, however, a teammate of Liverpool’s towering No.4 at the international level. And, as Van Dijk celebrated the Netherlands’ 2-0 victory over the African Champions on Instagram, Gakpo responded in kind.
“Up and running,” wrote Van Dijk, to which the PSV Eindhoven man reacted with two emojis: one ‘praise’ emoji, followed by a love heart.
No words are needed from Gakpo, who could well find himself sharing a dressing room with Virgil at the club level, too.
Gakpo scored a goal yesterday, possibly by adding a little more worth to his future sale.
It’s not surprising; it’s what he does. This season, the 23-year-old has been in fantastic form for both club and country.
Indeed, a lot will depend on him and Van Dijk if the Netherlands has a successful World Cup.
The Dutch defense is nice and solid, with choices like Matthijs de Ligt, Nathan Ake, and Stefan de Vrij to complement Virgil.
However, the Liverpool defender remains the primary guy.
He did it again yesterday. Van Dijk remained firm as Ake and de Ligt struggled to get going.
Going ahead, things will be a little different. Holland, who is known for their exceptional offensive talent, appears a touch light this time around.
Gakpo is an exception to this rule. It may only be the first game, but it’s clear why Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing him.
According to Calciomercato, a January move would cost them at least £43 million. As the competition progresses and Van Dijk and Gakpo reunite, that could start looking like a bargain. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Trump cannot be held responsible if a country’s leader cannot find any example to turn to when he talks about ‘domestic and national goods’.
I stated before that, there will be sharp decreases in the value of Turkish Lira (TL) beginning in autumn, and the government will head to the local elections with a quite problematic economy. The recent events in the foreign policy accelerated the process, which seems inevitable. A fall in (currency) value happened beyond the expectations. While the exchange rate of dollar/TL is fluctuating between the wide values of 5.80-7.60, it was an opportunity for speculators.
There is an economical and political basis of this matter. Firstly, the AKP government must come to terms with this fact. The transformation, which has been experienced since 2002 under the AKP rule, created an economic structure, which is dependent on other foreign countries from agriculture to industry, and funded by the short-term foreign capital inflow. This transformation happened among the applause of the media and leaders of the western countries, who are now labelled as imperialist by the AKP government. The fall of base rate interest in the developed capitalist countries encouraged this transformation.
It was a well-known fact by everyone that this unstable economy, funded with the short-term foreign capital inflow, would experience problems once the interest rates in developed capitalist countries increased. Even if the national media turns a blind eye to the reality, identifying Turkey as the most at risk of the “fragile economies” was not without foundation. That the direction of international capital movements was channelled towards developed capitalist economies and that this coincided with the AKP foreign policy hitting a dead end exacerbated the conditions. Frequent tensions with the USA and the other western countries increased instability in relation to the risk premium of Turkish assets and the exchange rate.
We should highlight that the government’s management of the crisis could not have been worse. The government should reflect on how after every speech made by Erdoğan the Turkish Lira was devalued. This has been the case for a long time. Erdoğan addressed his speeches solely with the aim of reassuring his supporters, then another official was left to tidy up the collateral damage. In the past, the likes of Babacan, Başçı or Şimşek undertook this role. After Şimşek, it is notable that this role has not been filled.
Erdoğan’s weekend speech, which threw the market into flux and the rumblings that the foreign currency deposit accounts will be confiscated or they will be paid from the fixed rate as Turkish Liras, is a good example of this. In fact, this rumour has been circulating for a long time. Not only did the government overlook this situation, but it also triggered anxiety by threatening those who do not change their foreign currency. Maybe this was the most important point that we expected to see in Albayrak’s presentation. But he also made no mention of it and confined himself to a presentation, which did not meet expectations. Of course, Erdoğan’s speech in the aftermath created a unique opportunity for speculators.
So, what is waiting for us in the upcoming period? To begin with, it is clear that if the current exchange rate and interest rates are sustained, there will be devastating results for the economy. The problems of the real economy in the credit returns will not only burden the banking system but also distress the European banks. Besides, there will be a prominent rise in the risk premiums in other developing countries. We recently saw the rehearsal of this situation. It is impossible for Turkey, an economy which is interdependent with international economies, to remain as an isolated incident. For this reason, the efforts of other countries, particularly Europe, are not without reason.
Even if the political tension is not completely solved, we can expect it to fall. Even though the government would prefer to explain the situation that Turkey’s economy has been dragged into simply from a political perspective, this is not possible. If Turkey’s economy faces a crisis when there is tension between imperialist countries, the political leadership – the architect of the current accumulation model – has a big role in this result. Trump can be many things. However, Trump cannot be held responsible, if a country’s leader who is in power for 16 years cannot find any example to turn to when he talks about “domestic and national goods”.

Mahire Yenturk, a council worker in Turkey has lost her job for sharing a photo of Selahattin Demirtas’, former co-chair of Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), on her personal social media account.
Yenturk was forced to resign after she was labeled as a “terrorist” on a local newspaper that published a story about her social media post.
Apart from losing her job Yenturk said in a letter to opposition MP’s that ever since the story was published in the newspaper she and her family have been excluded from their social circles in Bolu where she has been living for 25 years.
Yenturk was working in Bolu Municipality. Although the mayor Tanju Ozcan is from the main opposition political party namely CHP and not a member of the Islamist nationalist coalition, he is known for his discriminative and racist policies against refugees in the city. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How Do You Calculate The Square Root of 14002?
To calculate the square root of a number, you need to find the number that when multiplied by itself, gives you the original number. For example, the square root of 14002 is 118.3300469, because 118.3300469 x 118.3300469 = 14002
This means the square root of 14002 is 118.3300469.
How do you calculate the square root of 14002 in Excel or Google Sheets?
To automatically calculate the square root of 14002 in Excel or Google Sheets you need to use the SQRT() function:
Placing the above into a cell will automatically display the square root. You can swap out the number 14002 in the formula for any other number you wish to calculate the square root. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Itching is a tingling or irritation of the skin that makes you want to scratch the area. Itching may occur all over the body or only in one location.
There are many causes of itching, including:
Generalized itching may be caused by:
For itching that does not go away or is severe, see your health care provider.
In the meantime, you can take steps to help deal with the itch:
Contact your provider if you have itching that:
Also contact your provider if you have other, unexplained symptoms.
With most itching, you do not need to see a provider. Look for an obvious cause of itching at home.
It is sometimes easy for a parent to find the cause of a child's itching. Looking closely at the skin will help you identify any bites, stings, rashes, dry skin, or irritation.
Have the itching checked out as soon as possible if it keeps returning and does not have a clear cause, you have itching all over your body, or you have hives that keep returning. Unexplained itching may be a symptom of a disease that could be serious.
Your provider will examine you. You'll also be asked about the itching. Questions may include when it began, how long it has lasted, and whether you have it all the time or only at certain times. You may also be asked about medicines you take, whether you have allergies, or if you have been ill recently.

Rechargeable batteries are essential for powering our personal electronic devices. To meet the novel functions of next-generation electronics, including foldable displays, flexible power sources are needed. However, conventional batteries are rigid and unable to adapt to the demands of flexible devices. Low-cost, rechargeable batteries containing naturally abundant elements, such as zinc, are appealing, but flexible batteries based on zinc require a different preparation method from conventional batteries.
In their article in Advanced Energy Materials, Xu Chen, Bin Liu, Cheng Zhong, and co-workers have developed a high-performance, flexible air electrode for the Zn–air battery by devising a simple fabrication technique.
The technique involves electrodeposition with fast heat treatment to grow ultrathin mesoporous Co3O4 layers on the surface of carbon fibers on a carbon cloth. These ultrathin Co3O4 layers have a maximum contact area on the conductive support, facilitating rapid electron transport and preventing the aggregation of the layers.
Benefiting from the high utilization degree of active materials and rapid charge transport, the mass activity for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions of the ultrathin electrode is more than 10 times higher than that of the carbon cloth loaded with commercial Co3O4 nanoparticles. The as-assembled flexible Zn–air battery based on the ultrathin electrode exhibits excellent rechargeability (≈1.03 V discharge voltage and ≈1.95 V charge voltage at 2 mA cm–2), with a high charge density of 546 Wh kg–1. It also has a high cycling stability, where no obvious loss occurred after 10 hours of galvanostatic discharge–charge testing or after 300 mechanical bending cycles.
The authors also integrated a flexible display into the device. Despite repeated bending and twisting, the device maintains its mechanical integrity and discharge performance. When the device is cut by scissors, there is no perceptible change in the display brightness, signaling safe and reliable operation if the device is damaged.

Mysore/Mysuru: Hundreds of Anganwadi workers and their assistants, led by the District Unit of Karnataka State Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Federation, staged a protest in city yesterday seeking fulfilment of various demands including increase in honorarium.
The protestors, who came from different parts of the district, assembled at Old DC Office premises, shouted slogans against the Government and sat on a dharna.
Demanding that the honorarium of Anganwadi workers and helpers be increased to Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 10,000 respectively, the protestors urged the State Government to announce an amount of Rs. 3 lakh to them on retirement apart from paying a monthly pension of Rs. 5,000 to both Anganwadis and Helpers.
The protestors also demanded that directives issued by various Departments to start Kid Care Centres (Shishupalana Kendra) and Pre-School (LKG and UKG) be withdrawn and the same should be set up at Anganwadi Centres with special facilities.
Apart from this, they urged the Government to fill the vacant posts of Anganwadi and Helpers within three months.
Anganwadi workers and helpers from Mysuru city, rural, T.Narasipur, H.D. Kote and Periyapatna taluks participated in the protest. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Somerhalder and Wesley's Favorite Vampire Diaries Scene Will Make Your Heart Bleed
Get ready to revisit the most heartbreaking scene of the whole show.
Although The Vampire Diaries is essentially a show about a love triangle, some fans mainly paid attention to two sides of this geometric figure. And no, we're not talking about Elena and Damon or Elena and Stefan. The Salvatore brothers demonstrated us an exemplary love/hate relationship, only not romantic, but familial.
Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder have repeatedly admitted that they truly love each other, even though they wanted to kill one another, like, 800 times. Which only confirms that it’s a real brotherly relationship.
The Salvatore brothers have come a long way from hatred to love, and their relationship has undergone perhaps the greatest transformation over the course of the show. There have been many touching scenes between Stefan and Damon in eight seasons, but Ian and Paul's favorite one was arguably the show's most heartbreaking episode.
In the interview with Today, the actors admitted that their most memorable and favorite scene was when they met in the afterlife in the finale. Paul Wesley said:
“That to me was a really powerful moment, because it was the last thing we ever shot.”
The final reunion of the brothers was truly touching. After his death, Damon goes to the only place he can truly call home – the Salvatore mansion. Stefan stands there, watching the lights in the fireplace, when he suddenly realizes that he has to open the door, even without knocking. And he knows who he will see behind.
Damon says one last, calm and warm, "Hello, brother." And they hug. We are not crying, you do.
Ian and Paul's connection to The Vampire Diaries continued after the show ended. What was the favorite drink of the Salvatore brothers? Bourbon, of course. They drank it all the time, and did it with such gusto that it makes you want to sit in a comfy old chair and slowly sip good American whiskey.
They gave us that opportunity. The actors created their own bourbon for everyone to try and called it very symbolically – Brother’s Bond. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Apple is preparing several product launches for early 2025, including new iPads, a very popular Mac, a new iPhone, and more. Here’s a look at what’s coming, and why now may be either the best or worst time to buy Apple’s existing products.
Buy now or wait? Here’s what you should know
Most of the time when Apple launches new devices, it discontinues the previous versions of those products. So for example, when a new Mac is released, the prior model is no longer available for sale.
And typically, when you get closer to new products launching, the existing devices can be found at some heavily discounted rates. Partly because they’ve been around a while, but also because Apple needs to clear inventory for the new upgrades coming.
For a variety of upgrades coming in early 2025, that makes right now either the best or worst time to buy their predecessors:
- If you can’t stand the thought of a new device surpassing your fresh purchase, now’s probably a bad time to buy.
- But if you are looking for the best deals on still-powerful hardware, now’s a great time to buy.
Here are the devices that have upgrades coming soon, and the best deals available for these current hardware offerings.
M3 MacBook Air
Apple’s most popular Mac, the MacBook Air, is getting an M4 upgrade in early 2025.
Based on what we’ve seen with Apple’s recent M4 Macs, you can expect to see features like:
- a 12MP Center Stage camera
- improved battery life
- likely a nano-texture display option
Overall it should be a solid buy, but cost-conscious buyers should also know that the M3 MacBook Air was recently upgraded to 16GB of RAM. It’s also currently only $844 (down from $1,099). So you have to ask yourself: are the new features worth the extra $250?
iPhone SE 3
There’s a huge upgrade to the iPhone SE expected in March, featuring an edge-to-edge OLED display with Face ID and notch, an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence support, a 48MP main camera, USB-C, and more.
For most buyers, I’d say the new iPhone SE 4 is well worth waiting for. However, for anyone who wants to keep the Home Button on their iPhone, now’s the time to buy the current SE 3 before it’s likely discontinued. Currently you can grab it as low as $183 refurbished.
iPad (10th generation)
Apple’s base-model iPad hasn’t been updated since late 2022, but that last upgrade was a strong one. It removed the Home Button, reduced bezels, and provided an overall more modern design.
A new 11th generation iPad is expected in early 2025, but details on its features are largely unknown. It’s likely we’ll see an Apple Intelligence-compatible chip added, but even that’s not a certainty for Apple’s budget iPad.
If you’re interested in getting an iPad now, the 10th generation model is currently only $249 w/ coupon (down from $349)—a huge discount for what’s still a great product.
M2 iPad Air
Apple just released a new M2 iPad Air in May, yet reports have indicated a new model may arrive in early 2025. I’d bet it’s closer to mid-year, perhaps in May again. In any case, little is known about the new Air other than its expected upgrade to the M3 chip.
Wildcards: Apple Watch SE and AirTag
Two more products may see updates in early 2025, but they could also just as easily arrive later.
Rumors have long pointed to another Apple Watch SE being in the works, and there’s a chance Apple could launch it alongside the iPhone SE 4. However, it’s also just as possible we’ll have to wait until the fall for a new version. Meanwhile, the current Apple Watch SE is available for just $149 at the moment, down from $249.
AirTag 2 is also coming in 2025, and the latest reporting pins it for mid-year. But if you’re in the market for an AirTag, and aren’t able to wait that long, you can pick up the current AirTag for $24 (down from $30) or grab a 4-pack for $73 (down from $99).
Are you planning to pick up any of the devices above? Holding off for their 2025 upgrades? Let us know in the comments.

Living longer, but health is worse
Until now, the life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy of Estonian inhabitants have usually shown a growth trend. Based on the recently released indicators, it can be said that we live longer but not as healthily. Female life expectancy is on average eight and a half years longer than male life expectancy. Just ten years ago, life expectancy for males was four years shorter and for females two years shorter.
Alis Tammur, a leading analyst of the Population and Social Statistics Department of Statistics Estonia, said that life expectancy is likely to increase in the coming years as well. “In the future, we will live to an older age, even men. The fastest increases in life expectancy in 2018 occurred for non-Estonian men, those with higher education and those who live in cities, and for non‑Estonian women.”
According to 2017 data, the highest female life expectancy in Europe was in Spain (86.1) and the lowest in North Macedonia (77.9). Male life expectancy was highest in Switzerland (81.6) and lowest in Ukraine (68.3). Compared to the European Union average, the indicator for males in Estonia is lower by more than four years. Life expectancy for females in Estonia is about a year below the European Union average.
Life expectancy depends on many factors, the most important of these being the environment, accessibility of healthcare services, safety at work, living standard and health consciousness. The shorter male life expectancy is not surprising as men are more prone to risk-taking and have a greater share of physically demanding jobs or those posing more risk to health. Among men, there are also more of those who have unhealthy life styles such as higher alcohol consumption and smoking.
Disability-free life expectancy exhibited a decline trend last year: the indicator reached the level of ten years ago. Looking at different population groups, it appears that the decline is not evident for non-Estonian men and women. Their life expectancy increased the most and healthy life years only slightly. The greatest decrease in disability-free life years was in rural areas and for men and women of Estonian ethnicity.
In general, changes in trend can be considered more trustworthy if they have lasted for several years. In this case, the calculation of the indicator is based on the results of a sample survey, and therefore, a measurement error should be taken into account. At the same time, it does not explain the whole decrease. A change towards a declining health evaluation of people in Estonia is also supported by other data released in 2018. Health self-evaluation has decreased significantly in almost all age groups starting with people in their 20s. Also, the share of people increased who claimed that due to waiting lists they have not received healthcare.
Life expectancy at birth is defined as the mean number of years that a new-born child is expected to live if subjected throughout his life to the current mortality conditions. Disability-free life expectancy is defined as the mean number of years that a person is expected to live without limitations to everyday activities if subjected to current mortality and public health conditions. A component for calculating this indicator is the information collected with a survey on the extent to which a person has been restricted in activities that people normally do due to a health problem during at least the last six months. Only responses where a person said that he or she has not had any health-related limitations are taken into consideration.
For statistical activities “Population” and “Estonian Social Survey”, the main representative of public interest is the Ministry of Social Affairs, commissioned by whom Statistics Estonia collects and analyses the data necessary for conducting these statistical activities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Boomerangs are a lot of fun. They can be used to hunt for food, to protect yourself from predators, or just for recreation. In this article we’ll talk about how boomerangs work and where you can go boomeranging in America.
How to Boomerang Like a Pro
- How to throw a boomerang: First, throw the boomerang like you would any other object in your hand. If it doesn’t return, try throwing it again with more force and speed. Keep trying until the boomerang returns to you! You might need to adjust your grip on the handle as well; some people prefer using their index finger while others prefer using all four fingers at once.
- How to catch a boomerang: In order for this trick to work properly, there needs to be an open space between where your hands are and where the returning end of this instrument lands after being thrown away from them–in other words, if there’s nothing nearby except air then that’s where it will land! If possible (and safe!), try catching one from behind so that no one else sees how easy it was for us since we’ve already practiced this technique many times before today’s lesson began.”
The History of the Boomerang
The boomerang is a hunting tool, not a toy. It has been used for hundreds of years by the Australian Aborigines, who invented it as a way to catch food and fight off predators (e.g., dingoes).
The boomerang was first created when someone noticed that an object thrown from one side of his or her body would return to the other side–and so began throwing rocks at things! Eventually, this evolved into what we now know as “throwing” or “flipping” something back over your shoulder without hitting yourself in the face with it (or breaking anything). If you want to learn how to do it yourself without hurting yourself or others around you… well then there’s only one place left for us here at Boomerang Reenactments:
Where to Go Boomeranging in America
Boomerangs are a popular activity for tourists. There are many boomerang festivals that take place all over the country, including California, Colorado and Texas. These festivals can be great places to learn about boomerangs and try your hand at throwing one yourself!
They’re fun and you should try them.
You may have heard that boomerangs are a fun way to travel. They’re also good for the environment, your health and wallet. But if you’re like me, you might still be wondering: “Can I take them with me on vacation?”
Yes! You can! As long as you’re not planning to visit any countries where they are illegal (like Australia).
We hope you have enjoyed learning about boomerangs and all the fun they can bring to your life. If you’re still not convinced, we encourage you to go out there and try one for yourself! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hi! My name is Hannah Jefferson and I’m a junior here at UCF majoring in Aerospace Engineering. I transferred here in the spring with my Associates of Arts degree from Eastern Florida State College and graduated from West Shore Jr/Sr. High School in Melbourne.
I was fortunate enough to grow up on the space coast seeing rocket and shuttle launches and going to schools where I was never told I couldn’t do something. Since my dad is an aerospace engineer I got a closer look at what I could do and was truly inspired by the industry before I knew what it really about. I wanted to become a STEM ambassador because I want to share my passion for what I will soon be doing. Through this program, I’d like to be able to show at least one person that engineering is something they’d like to do too.
If I could give one piece of advice to someone it would be to make sure that whatever you do, be passionate about it! Having a true love and interest for what you’re studying will be it’s own motivation for you to succeed, even when it gets hard, and will lead you to a job that you will enjoy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Greetings, nature enthusiasts! Today, I am thrilled to present two photographs that I recently captured in my yard. These images feature a Tufted Titmouse diligently bringing food to a birdhouse, showcasing the incredible care they provide to their young. Alongside these stunning visuals, I will also delve into the unique feeding behaviors of the Tufted Titmouse, providing a deeper understanding of their nurturing ways.
Photo 1: Tufted Titmouse and the Caterpillar Cocoon
The first photograph captures an adult Tufted Titmouse perched atop the birdhouse, clutching what appears to be a caterpillar cocoon. Taken on July 7, 2023, this image showcases the resourcefulness of these birds as they seek out a variety of food sources to sustain their offspring.
Photo 2: Tufted Titmouse with a Delicate Spider
In the second image, also taken on July 7, 2023, an adult Tufted Titmouse is depicted with a tiny spider delicately held in its beak. This picture showcases the Titmouse’s agility and precision in acquiring protein-rich prey to provide essential nutrients for their growing nestlings.
Previous Blog Posts: The Journey of the Tufted Titmouse
In my earlier blog posts, I chronicled the nesting adventures of the Tufted Titmouse in one of my birdhouses, highlighting their incredible resilience and triumphs. The first post, titled “Bluebirds and Tufted Titmouse Grace My Birdhouse,” recounted how the Tufted Titmouse built their nest in the same birdhouse as the Eastern Bluebirds after they were finished nesting.
The second post, “Tufted Titmouse Triumph Over House Sparrows,” shed light on the challenges faced by the determined Titmice as they vied for a nesting site against House Sparrows.
Unique Feeding Behaviors of the Tufted Titmouse:
When it comes to feeding their young, Tufted Titmice exhibit fascinating behaviors that distinguish them from other bird species. They possess a remarkable strategy that ensures efficient distribution of food among their nestlings. Instead of directly feeding their offspring, the adult Titmice employ a unique approach.
Upon procuring sustenance from various sources, such as insects, spiders, seeds, berries, and nuts, the Tufted Titmouse will transport the food to a nearby perch, often a branch or a fence post. At this temporary feeding station, they meticulously break down the morsels into smaller, more manageable pieces. This process not only allows them to assess the safety and suitability of the food but also enables them to portion it appropriately for their delicate young.
This feeding technique serves multiple purposes. It ensures that the food is easily digestible for the nestlings and prevents choking hazards. Moreover, by dividing the food into smaller portions, the Titmice can effectively distribute it among their offspring, guaranteeing that each chick receives an equitable share of nourishment.
The Tufted Titmouse’s devotion to nurturing their young is nothing short of extraordinary. The photographs shared today offer a glimpse into their diligent efforts as they bring an assortment of nourishment to the birdhouse. Coupled with the insights from my previous blog posts, we gain a deeper appreciation for the remarkable journey of these birds and their resilience in the face of challenges.
Stay tuned for more captivating tales from my wildlife photography expeditions. As I continue to explore the wonders of the natural world, let us celebrate the unwavering commitment and tenderness displayed by remarkable creatures like the Tufted Titmouse.

(Isabel Williams is the Registered Dietitian at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Stittsville Main Street.)
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors, management, and encourage Stittsville community members to make healthy lifestyle changes. In Canada, 11.5 million people are currently living with or at risk of diabetes. Unfortunately, diabetes-related complications have increased since the start of the pandemic. In fact, new data from Shoppers Drug Mart shows a 17 per cent increase in new patients filling diabetes prescriptions per period when comparing 2019 to 2021.
When left unmanaged, the excess sugar in the blood that causes diabetes can eventually cause problems and lead to serious health complications, including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, limb amputation, and depression. It can be overwhelming to think about, but believe it or not, small lifestyle changes can have a big impact.
Small Nutrition Changes – You don’t need to make drastic diet changes to have a positive impact on managing your diabetes. Check out the options below as a place to start for keeping your blood sugar levels in better control.
- At mealtimes, use the “balanced plate method” as a guide. Aim to have your plate contain ½ non-starchy vegetables, ¼ protein foods and ¼ whole grain carbohydrates.
- Consider what you can add to your plate, instead of worrying about what to take away. Try a new vegetable, experiment with a new recipe, or explore a new type of grain.
- Myth busting: Just because you have diabetes doesn’t mean you need to avoid sugar altogether! All foods can fit into a healthy diet. Talk to your dietitian about how to incorporate sweeter snacks in a way that doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels.
Stay Active – Exercise can seem daunting, but the good news is that every bit counts! Do you enjoy going for a walk, or even dancing? These can have a big impact on managing diabetes. According to Diabetes Canada, 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day, five times a week can slow or even prevent progression of diabetes. Physical activity usually helps reduce elevated blood sugar levels, helping insulin to work better.
Blood Sugar Maintenance – Monitoring your blood sugar range is an important part of managing your diabetes and preventing complications. It’s much easier to make lifestyle changes when you know if your blood sugar is too high or low. If you need support, reach out to your local Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist who can help set you up with blood sugar testing.
A diabetes diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. As your local Stittsville Registered Dietitian at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, I am here to support and can help you improve your overall wellness through personalized nutrition services. To discuss your unique needs, book an appointment with me at yourindependentgrocer.ca/dietitians.

I have half an hour to walk to the stadium, and the same distance to walk to the center of the old town. Today Monday Feb. 29 is working day. I spend the day working in my hotel room. Boring at times, especially on tour, fun at home, but I must do it, as it pays for my bills and keep me on the tour. Then in the afternoon I take a break and walk to the city.
Porto Alegre is a beautiful city. I enjoy walking the streets, and return to Rua dos Andrados for my favorite places. Then back to work for some hours. By 7pm I do finally have some time available. I run an hour through the park to the stadium, it is dark but the good thing is the temperature is now just + 27 C i.e. F 81. When I was running in São Paulo one day it was + 34 C which is F 93. A bit too hot for me when it comes to running. Before I went running I had this great sunset as seen from my hotel window. I think I can get to love every city. Just give me a few hours, some great walking shows, and I will at least give it my best try. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After you receive a letter demanding payment on an outstanding credit account, the anxiety caused by the mounting personal financial issue can lead to you making one or more mistakes.
One of the mistakes a debt collection agency like RGS Financial wants you to make involves not understanding every option you have to deal with the delinquent consumer debt. Under a groundbreaking federal law, you have the right to dispute the alleged debt or invoke the statute of limitations mandated by your state.
You also can settle the debt by sending a letter to RGS Financial.
A debt settlement represents a legally binding agreement between a consumer and a third party debt collector. Terms of debt settlements typically allow consumers to pay a percentage of an entire debt.
Debt settlement agreements contain legal language that clearly states whether a consumer will send a lump sum payment or spread payments out over several months. For profit debt settlement companies offer consumers services that include writing professional debt settlement letters.
However, you are much better off hiring a licensed consumer protection lawyer to write a debt settlement letter to RGS financial.
Protect Your Rights by Hiring a Lawyer
Before September 22, 1977, consumers had little, if any legal recourse for dealing with aggressive bill collectors. After passage of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the legal playing field leveled to give consumers a fighting chance against debt collection agencies.
The standard for consumer protection laws does not directly address debt settlement letters, but the federal law does grant consumers numerous legal protections that an experienced consumer protection lawyer will uphold.
The FDCPA prohibits third party debt collectors from using aggressive debt collection tactics, which includes threatening consumers with legal action. A bill collector like RGS Financial is not allowed to call you between the hours of 9pm and 8am.
The United States Congress also outlawed deceptive debt collection techniques, such as impersonating law enforcement in attempts to collect delinquent debts. Every violation of the FDCPA carries a financial penalty and you have the right to seek actual damages for enduring emotional duress.
Example of a Debt Settlement Letter for RGS Financial
The debt settlement letter your FDCPA lawyer sends to RGS Financial will look something like the following sample letter:
Collection agency contact information
Name and number of outstanding credit account
To whom it may concern:
RGS Financial recently sent me a letter asking that I take care of a Bank of America personal loan account of $10,000. I have included a copy of the letter for reference.
Because I cannot afford to pay off the entire $10,000, I am sending this letter to request a debt settlement worth 50% of the original personal loan balance. If you agree to my proposed debt settlement, I would like to make monthly payments of $200 until the debt is fully paid off.
If you agree to my proposed debt settlement terms, please sign and date the bottom of this letter.
Never send a third party debt collector like RGS Financial any money until you receive confirmation of a debt settlement approval in the form of a signed and dated return letter.
Settling a consumer debt with a debt collection agency has far reaching implications, which include improving your credit score. Speak with a consumer protection lawyer to craft a persuasive debt settlement letter for RGS Financial.

The Diary of St. Gemma
From 1899 until her death in 1903, the young Italian woman St. Gemma Galgani physically experienced the wounds of Christ every Thursday evening. The stigmata would appear and bleed on her hands, feet, and side, stopping only on Friday afternoon and leaving white marks as a reminder. St. Gemma also experienced countless visions, raptures, ecstasies, and other mystical graces — as well as intense temptations from the devil.
Here is the remarkable diary of this young saint, which her spiritual director ordered her to write. It will give you an enthralling glimpse into her numerous encounters with Jesus Crucified, with Our Lady, and with her guardian angel, whom she saw almost every day and would even send on errands, usually to deliver messages to her confessor in Rome.
You will witness St. Gemma's courage in fulfilling even laborious duties while wearing the hidden crown of thorns, and you'll learn what St. Gabriel Possenti, to whom she was especially devoted, taught her about the connection between bodily illness and spiritual healing. Moreover, St. Gemma will teach you:
- What to do when you are mocked, tormented, or experience powerful temptations
- How to overcome the hesitation to receive Holy Communion due to scrupulosity, dryness, and desolation
- The key to overcoming struggles in prayer
- How to remain faithful during periods of intense suffering
- How obedience will defeat the enemy and help you overcome sinful habits
- How your prayers and small sufferings relieve souls in Purgatory | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Lazareva, O., J. Kan, C. Chen, and D.L. Sparks. 2022. Applied Geochemistry 145: 105413.
This study contributes to our evolving understanding of how coupled biogeochemical dynamics of Fe and Mn along the redox gradients affect C cycling and sequestration at Critical Zones. A 12-month monitoring of the in-situ soil pore-water biogeochemistry and redox gradients across the floodplain at the White Clay Creek Watershed in the Christina River Basin – Critical Zone Observatory was investigated. Topographically, eastern floodplain was narrow with a steep hillslope connected to the agricultural field while western floodplain was flat and wide. Soil profile consisted of post-colonial oxic deposits, pre-colonial anoxic buried wetland soils underlain by suboxic valley-bottom gravel. Contrasting soil pore-water chemistry including DOM quality, DOC, Fe and Mn, δ18O and δD profiles, and redox potentials were observed between the eastern and western floodplains due to seasonal fluctuations, divergent topographic and hydrologic settings. We observed diverse types of C pools across the floodplain from short (labile) to long term (recalcitrant) C forms: microbial origin DOM at eastern versus terrestrial or plant-derived DOM at western buried wetland soil pore-waters. Gravel was linked to the soluble microbial byproduct-like fractions indicating bioavailable DOM and microbial activity. Gravel beds may act as a natural filter (or C sink) of terrestrial DOM via adsorption and precipitation with Mn- and Fe (hydr)oxides, stimulating the long-term sequestration of sedimentary OC while retaining the microbially-derived DOM in the pore-water. In contrast, reductive dissolution of Mn- and Fe (hydr)oxides may result in re-mobilization of aromatic DOM and increase of DOC flux (C source) to the stream. Future studies are needed to improve our understanding of how in-situ redox gradients and/or microbial activity transform OC-mineral complexes and the coupled C dynamics at Critical Zones. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Fall Outfit Formulas: Shop your closet to put together your 4 season staples
October 2, 2023
3 min read
Use these fall outfit formulas to help you get dressed easily in the morning.
It’s time to say goodbye to your trusty sweatpants and step up your style game. This fall, we’re making it easy for moms and grandmas to feel polished without putting in hours of effort.
Studio 5 Style Editor Daylan Dove shares four simple fall outfit formulas that you’ll want to copy, and they can all be put together from items already in your closet.
4 Fall Outfit Formulas
Why is it that mom fashion often feels like an arduous task? The answer is simple: we women, especially moms and grandmas, tend to put everyone else’s needs before our own. By the time we get to ourselves, we’re stuck in our closets, feeling overwhelmed by choices and lack of time. But we’re going to simplify this process with four outfit formulas.
1. Denim on Denim
Do you love the Canadian tuxedo look, or are you hesitant to embrace the denim-on-denim trend? This outfit formula consists of a denim top paired with a basic tee and denim bottoms. If head-to-toe denim feels like too much, try a lighter denim top with darker denim bottoms. Invest in a good denim jacket; it’s a timeless piece that’s here to stay.
This formula is all about timeless style. You’ll need a pair of jeans, a classic button-up shirt, a layering piece (like a sweater), and, for a trendy twist, loafers. Button-up shirts are versatile and can be paired with any color of jeans. As the weather shifts, layer the sweater to stay warm. Loafers add a modern touch while maintaining a classic look.
You might be surprised to hear this, but cargo pants are back in fashion, and they’re better than ever. Pair a statement pant like cargo pants or parachute cargo pants with a basic tee. Top it off with comfortable sneakers or loafers. For added warmth or style, consider a hat, especially for those dry shampoo days.
Fall fashion doesn’t have to be all about neutrals. Challenge yourself by playing with bold colors like green and pink. To make this look work, pair a green top with pink bottoms or vice versa. Green and pink are color wheel opposites, which creates a vibrant contrast. A hint of moody fuchsia in the pink adds a fall-appropriate twist. This outfit formula is perfect for date nights or a casual outing with your friends. You can tone it down with sneakers and minimal accessories for a more relaxed look.
These outfit formulas aren’t just about looking good; they’re about feeling good. You deserve to step out feeling polished and put-together, even when you’re short on time or energy. So, as you transition into fall, don’t hesitate to experiment with colors, statement pieces, and classic combos. We hope these outfit formulas make your daily routine a little more effortless. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, custom products (such as special orders or personalized items). Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
Thank you for understanding.
We need to know that you care. Please follow Care Instruction that you find on the inside label of the product.
If the product is not under the "Dry Clean Only" policy, you can follow the following washing guide:
- Wash colder. In the vast majority of cases 30* is sufficient. Water in combination with heat weakens the yarn.
- Wash shorter. The longer you wash, the more fibers you break.
- Wash less. Air out your clothes and wash out stains by hand to avoid unnecessary laundering.
- No spin. Reduce rotation speed. Lot of friction happens during the spin cycles. Reduce rotation per minute to protect your clothes and the environment.
Washing powder often contains mineral abrasives that tend to increase friction and leads to more fiber breaking. Bleach and ph-value affect the fiber construction too.
Don’t tumble dry your clothes. The heat and the mechanical forces inside a tumble dryer may damage the fibers. Air dry your clothes.
Separate textiles with hard and soft surfaces. If you stop mixing textiles and wash same fabrics and same colors together, you will protect your clothes and their initial colors.
When properly stored, wool will keep for decades. It’s all in the crimp and curl, which creates air pockets giving wool its unique ability to absorb moisture and transport it away from the body. This remarkable insulation factor works to keep you both warm and cool. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Internships are a great opportunity for students to explore their interests and develop their extracurriculars to boost their chances of acceptance to top schools. Fortunately for young entrepreneurs and business leaders, there are many internships through which students can hone their business skills at home and abroad, online and in-person. Let’s take a look at a few of them:
This flexible internship program is open to high school students, students taking a gap year, and first-year university students. Interns travel to Medellín—Colombia’s second-largest city and a regional business capital—for six weeks to six months, where they're paired with tech and business organizations in one of Latin America’s rapidly emerging economies. The internship includes accommodation, airport pickup, participation in cultural events, career training, networking opportunities, a keynote speaker series, and more. Applications consist of a resume, an online application form, an interview, and an English test. It’s strongly recommended that interns know some Spanish.
This one-month, cohort-based virtual internship is available for students in grades 8-12. Interns brainstorm and develop new products for Uber, with the potential to see their ideas launched worldwide. The Uber Work Experience Program introduces interns to the fundamentals of business by teaching the basics of marketing research through customer interviews, as well as through secondary investigations. They'll build a foundation in design by working alongside Uber to build and fine-tune mobile apps, while also working with customers to develop product management skills. Applications consist of online registration, an advisor call, and a written application.
The PwC Work Experience Program is designed to immerse students into the world of management and consulting. For one month, interns learn the foundations of accounting, finance, digital tech, and consulting projects. Students work alongside mentors in the industry to conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses to solve key issues in disruptive businesses. Through project-based management consulting training, interns examine how to best approach business challenges, communicate effective solutions, increase growth, and mitigate risk. This is a great program for students who want to test the waters of management and consulting before committing to an undergraduate program. Students in 8-12th grade are eligible. Applications consist of online registration, an advisor call, and a written application.
This one-month, finance and banking internship is open to students in grades 8-12. Students learn the building blocks of finance banking and asset management by exploring the core pillars of discounted cash flow analysis, comparison analysis, and fundamental and technical analysis. As the internship centers on corporate finance, students will also immerse themselves in financial decision-making and the role of finance in corporate development. Finally, interns will take a philosophical approach to the idea of money, analyzing the role of new forms like cryptocurrency and blockchain to explore the future of currency. Like the other internships on this page, applications consist of an online registration form, an advisor call, and a written application.
Internships are a great way for high school students to try different fields before applying to universities and committing to undergraduate programs. Additionally, working with businesses is a great way to demonstrate commitment to education and diversify your extracurriculars with real-world experience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
College students can gather and hang out at Swig’s new location on the St. George Boulevard, which opened on March 22.
Swig is a drive-thru drink and snack shop that has a variety of items on its menu. One of the main products that Swig sells is flavored drinks. Customers may order a basic fountain drink and add a number of different flavors to the soda.
Swig first opened on the corner of Tabernacle and 1000 East, just above Dixie State University’s Testing Center. Now, it will also be located at the corner of 300 West and St. George Boulevard. Both the owners and DSU students seem to be excited for the new store opening.
“We are expanding to another location because the store has become extremely busy, and we wanted to relieve some of the congestion at Swig 1,” said Nicole Tanner, who co-owns Swig with her husband.
Tanner said she and her husband are building the new store to attract people from places such as Dammeron Valley, Ivins and Santa Clara. They also believe the new location on the Boulevard will help with exposure.
Tanner said: “It seems like a lot of people already know about Swig. We have high hopes for the new store.”
Students on campus have begun to take notice to the popularity of Swig.
“There are no other places like it,” said Heather Roundy, a junior dental hygiene major from Richfield. “You don’t have to get out of your car to get a drink.”
Haley Jeffery, a sophomore radiology major from Delta, likes many things about Swig.
“It’s not super expensive,” Jeffery said. “Plus the sugar cookies are amazing.”
Tanner said staffing at Swig changes frequently, and she is always looking for new applicants. She said most of the employees are students at DSU.
“It’s fun, and it’s quick and fast-paced,” Swig employee Michelle Cracroft said.
If you don’t know what to order at Swig, feel free to ask an employee. The employees are willing to help offer some ideas.
Swig is a social place, Cracroft said, if you are looking for college students, it is a great place to find them.
Swig is a place to try different kinds of flavoring for fountain drinks. A popular style is to order a drink “dirty”, which means to add coconut flavoring. Each student can find his or her favorite.
Tanner’s favorite is a “dirty” half Diet Dr. Pepper and half Diet Coke with a lemon; Roundy’s favorite is a “dirty” Dr Pepper; Jeffery’s favorite is the lemonade; and Cracroft’s favorite is a “dirty” Diet Dr Pepper.

I love the TCAT. When it comes on time, I think to myself, Cornell is great! It might be a little cold, but it is definitely not too bad since a bus comes by every ten minutes. But, I also hate the TCAT. When it is late or leaves early, I think to myself, Cornell SUCKS. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
