🤔 We need more than deplatforming — "But as reprehensible as the actions of Donald Trump are, the rampant use of the internet to foment violence and hate, and reinforce white supremacy is about more than any one personality. Donald Trump is certainly not the first politician to exploit the architecture of the internet in this way, and he won’t be the last. We need solutions that don’t start after untold damage has been done."
💪 Demands and Responsibilities — "If you demand rights for yourself, you have to demand those same rights for others. You have to take on the responsibility of collective action, and you yourself act in a way that benefits the collective. If you want credit, you have to give credit. If you want community, you have to be communal. If you want to be satiated, you have to allow others to be sated. If you want your vote to be respected, you have to respect the votes of others."
🗯️ Parler Pitched Itself as Twitter Without Rules. Not Anymore, Apple and Google Said. — "Google said in a statement that it had pulled the app because Parler was not enforcing its own moderation policies, despite a recent reminder from Google, and because of continued posts on the app that sought to incite violence."
🙅 Hello! You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 Of The Communications Decency Act — "While this may all feel kind of mean, it's not meant to be. Unless you're one of the people who is purposefully saying wrong things about Section 230, like Senator Ted Cruz or Rep. Nancy Pelosi (being wrong about 230 is bipartisan). For them, it's meant to be mean. For you, let's just assume you made an honest mistake -- perhaps because deliberately wrong people like Ted Cruz and Nancy Pelosi steered you wrong. So let's correct that."
🧐 What Wikipedia saw during election week in the U.S., and what we’re doing next — "To help meet this goal, we hope to invest in resources that we can share with international Wikipedia communities that will help mitigate future disinformation risks on the sites. We’re also looking to bring together administrators from different language Wikipedias for a global forum on disinformation. Together, we aim to build more tools to support our volunteer editors, and to combat disinformation."

The Parable of the Tenants
We Christians have been at “this” so long that we don’t even question what “this” actually is. Most of us walk into church every Sunday and, sometimes Wednesday, and we just do whatever we did the previous Wednesday or Sunday. We are told to kneel, we kneel. We are told to sing, we sing. We’re told to offer peace to the person sitting next to us and we robotically comply. But I suspect…with a high degree of confidence that if someone were to ask the kneeling, singing, peace offering church goer why they kneel and sing and offer peace most would point toward the pulpit and say “he told me to”. Church, to most of us, is not much more than following orders. Believe me, I know. I knelt, sang and peace-offered on cue for most of my life. I “toed the line” loyally, never once asking myself “why”. After all, I’m old enough to have witnessed the once-common stinging consequences of religious curiosity. Don’t ask, don’t swell. The church was in charge and they made sure you didn’t forget it. Though the methods may have changed, the philosophy has not.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not an anarchist. I believe in leadership. I believe God’s intention is to put men in leadership positions over His people. The Bible makes that clear. Jesus makes that clear and His Parable of the Tenants tells us that. Whenever Jesus told a parable He was trying to describe either what the Kingdom is like OR what it is not like. Theologians categorize them as Parables of Comparison or Parables of Contrast. The Parable of the Tenants, our topic for this week, is a Parable of Comparison and in it Jesus tells us that God’s Plan for His people includes assigning leadership roles. God intends you and I and His Creation to be led and administered by mankind. Why? We don’t know. For how long? We aren’t told but His current method of getting things done involves human leadership and, according to Jesus, we have made quite a mess of it. That’s the central point of the Parable of the Tenants. That’s why He told that story.
God’s Word is vital to our relationship with Him. He has called us all to produce fruit and He has provided everything we need to fulfill that calling. The Parable of the Tenants (sometimes called the Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen) serves to warn us of the implications of misusing what He has given us. We were created to serve Him and He will, someday, return to collect His due.
I realize this little introduction is not very pleasant. I realize that what I put here may not motivate you to eagerly listen to this weeks podcast but, nonetheless, I encourage you to join us for this most important discussion from God’s Word. But, as always, before you get started, go to the Father in prayer and ask Him to open your heart and mind and make you receptive to all that He has to say to us: the sweet as well as the stern; the comforting as well as the corrective; the renewing as well as the rebuking.

I couldn't resist the current Bugaboo challenge - BINGO so made this quick card with Birthday Bird from Bugaboo and coloured him up with Promarkers plus a little glitter glue on the cake.
I've also added glossy accents to his eyes and then added X Cut die cut stars using various scraps from my stash plus the sparkly stars used to be a tissue box. The sentiment has been stamped with a set from my stash.
I've used the top line on the bingo card - sparkle/ stitching / sentiment. The stitching was done with a black fineliner pen.
I'd like to enter the following:

My most recent book is a collection of essays and poems called Forty-One Pages. I wanted to work in a loose essay form, in this case, because I wanted to expand my focus and include what lies outside the edges of individual poems – the issues, the planning and daydreaming that precedes and follows them. I wanted to write about writing and language, to step back behind the process itself and think about how it works for me.
I tend to approach genres as labels applied after the fact rather than as prescriptive building codes. I blur genres. I try to create a form that enacts the imagined thing. Some of the essays in Forty-One Pages I thought of as prose poems as I was writing them.
And yet, approaching artmaking as an exercise within the guidelines of a genre can be liberating or enabling. Perhaps while one part of the mind is focused on formal conventions, another part of the mind is freed to access subconscious intentions. Setting to work in a genre can be like invoking the muse, drawing on the vision, the imaginative stance and accumulated energies of generations of poets or artist who have left a legacy in that genre.
Perhaps. And yet I put genre in the background.
As I was writing what became The Afterlife of George Cartwright, I referred to the project as a “thing” not a novel. I didn’t (and still don’t) know how to write a novel. It was only after it was finished that I started calling it a novel, for practical reasons.
My next book, called And Yet, is a straight-up collection of poems that will be published by M&S in the fall of 2020.
I like poetry’s sculptural, three-dimensional quality: words combining to form an object that stands free in space. This sculptural quality is at the heart of poetry’s musicality, I think. Poetry’s music is not so much about the sound of the words as about the fact that a song or a piece of music is also a chronological sequence that hangs free in space on a trajectory from singer or musician to listener. The musicality in a poem is in the sequencing of parts spatially and chronologically – the patterns, tensions, delays, contours, protracted curves. It comes into the ear this way or runs down the page this way as a performance.
I wanted my poems in Issue 153 of The New Quarterly to work as self-contained sequences, performances – hanging free in space.
John Steffler was Canadian Poet Laureate from 2006 to 2009. His latest book is Forty-One Pages: on Poetry, Language and Wilderness (URP, 2019).

Welcome welcome one and all to another delectable slice of Beneath the Surface. Today we are joined by singer-songwriter and pop artist Lorelei Marcell, off the back of her acoustic release of single ‘Flashbacks’. Get comfy, grab ya headphones and lets get stuck into it!
What would you say first sparked your interest in music/who inspired you to make music?
I can’t really think of one thing that sparked my love for music. I feel like it’s always been a fundamental part of me, and I’ve always resonated with music in a really deep way. Growing up my parents were always playing music around the house, and would encourage and support my love for singing. I would spend my time after school watching YouTube videos of people performing and singing, and was always so enthralled by these artists. I have never felt passion like the one I feel for music and for my career.
How would you describe the music you are currently creating?
I would call it hopeful, dreamy, pop. It definitely has undertones of dark pop, and R&B as well.
What does your creative process look like?
I don’t necessarily have a formula when I go to write a song, but I start every project in a similar way. There’s always some feeling driving the process, whether it stemmed from reminiscing about an ex, or watching Dua Lipa perform on SNL. It comes from anywhere and everywhere. I normally start with a concept idea, then the melody and chords follow. I love collaborating and writing with other musicians too.
Who would you most like to collaborate with? (let’s send it out to the universe and make it happen!)
Definitely the singer Léon. I love her work and her voice so much. That would be a dream.
What is the one message you would like to send out to your fans?
I’ve learned a lot about myself this past year after living on my own for the first time in a big city. I think the most honest message I could give is to let yourself be by yourself. Spending time alone can be really uncomfortable, it was for me, but it’s one of the most valuable things I’ve gotten to experience, and it’s where I’ve done most of my growing and healing.
What’s your top tip to rejuvenate your creativity/get over a writer’s block?
Take time off. Getting off of social media, a posting cycle, letting yourself live in the moment, and just be with friends and family, is the best possible thing.
What’s next for you, what do we have to look forward to/ what are you currently working on?
I’m releasing my first full length album this upcoming April! I’ve been working on it for so long, so I’m really grateful that it finally gets to come out. Following the album, I have a few more projects planned as well for the summer! Definitely stay tuned

How Traitspotter works
Traitspotters machine learning model is based e.g. on psychological Big Five -personality model. Traitspotter searches and analyses public texts of decision makers without violating privacy protection or GDPR-regulation.
Where you can use it?
We’ve got best results in email marketing and when the target has been lead generation. However, same principles and analyses can be used in other sections of email marketing and sale functions too.

Get in touch!
GDPR and privacy protection
We take information security and privacy protection seriously. We follow guidance of Data Protection Supervisor and respect EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our analysis data can be used for the purpose of marketing and sales.
Should we first concentrate in other matters of digital marketing?
Exploiting personality, e.g. extraversion data is scientifically proved, the most effective way to improve results in marketing and sales, because in the end it’s always a human that makes decisions. Therefore it’s effective to personalize communication first and maybe then move to defining customer personas and customer journeys.
How the analysis is actually done?
We use publicly available data and digital footprints left by decisions makers as the material. Machine learning algorithms are able to make accurate analyses with relatively small samples.
How reliable the analysis is?
If our algorithm cannot make reliable estimate enough, it won’t give result regarding those traits at all. Therefore reliability has been automatised and results are only given in that case they are reliable enough. Analysis is machine based and therefore it can never be 100% match with reality, but of course that level of match is not needed while seeking sufficient level of reliability and business benefit.

The lifeblood of any industrial facility is its plumbing system. From delivering water to the appropriate locations to disposing of waste, the importance of plumbing in industrial settings cannot be overstated. In recent years, technology has revolutionized this sector, enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability in industrial plumbing systems. This article explores how innovations like smart leak detection systems, advanced pipe materials, automation, and others are transforming the role of the industrial plumber and reshaping the modern industrial plumbing landscape.
Smart Leak Detection Systems:
In industrial settings, undetected leaks can result in significant water waste, damage to machinery, and expensive repair costs. This highlights the crucial role of smart leak detection systems. Leveraging sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, these systems can identify leaks early, enabling prompt interventions. Furthermore, these smart systems notify the 24-hour emergency plumber, ensuring rapid response and mitigating the risk of potential damage.
Advanced Pipe Materials:
The evolution of pipe materials has dramatically impacted industrial plumbing systems. Traditional metals have given way to innovative materials such as Polyethylene (PEX), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). These modern materials offer distinct advantages, including enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced maintenance costs. The introduction of these materials has significantly improved the performance and longevity of plumbing systems, aiding the industrial plumber in their routine tasks.
Automation and Robotics in Maintenance:
The advent of automation and robotics has revolutionized maintenance tasks in industrial plumbing. For instance, CCTV pipe inspection involves the use of drones and robotic crawlers to inspect, clean, and repair pipes in challenging environments. Autonomous systems reduce the need for human intervention, improving safety and expediting maintenance procedures. These advanced tools make the work of the 24-hour emergency plumber more efficient and less hazardous.
Water Conservation Technologies:
In the face of rising global water scarcity, industries must prioritize water conservation. Technological advancements have introduced water-saving technologies such as low-flow fixtures, smart irrigation systems, and greywater recycling. These not only reduce water consumption but also lower operational costs, contributing to sustainable industrial practices.
Remote Monitoring and Control:
Modern industrial plumbing systems often integrate remote monitoring and control capabilities. Facility managers can oversee plumbing operations from a centralized location, utilizing real-time data analytics to optimize water usage and promptly detect anomalies. This remote control ability enables swift responses to emergencies, minimizing downtime and making the role of the 24-hour emergency plumber more efficient.
Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Systems:
Energy efficiency is a key consideration in industrial plumbing, particularly in heating and cooling processes. Modern technologies, including heat pumps, solar water heaters, and geothermal systems, are optimizing energy consumption. Such systems not only reduce operational costs but also minimize the carbon footprint, making industries more sustainable.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Training:
These types of technologies are transforming the way industrial plumbers are trained. They provide immersive simulations for learning complex plumbing tasks, enhancing the skills of industrial plumbers. This technological shift reduces errors during installations and repairs, improving overall operational efficiency.
Technology has indubitably revolutionized the landscape of modern industrial plumbing. Each innovation has enhanced the efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of industrial plumbing systems, from smart leak detection to advanced pipe materials, from automation to water conservation technologies. As we continue to embrace and move forward with technological advancements in the plumbing field, the role of the industrial plumber will continue to evolve, ensuring that our industries are well-equipped to meet the plumbing challenges of the future.

Department of Architecture Faculty of Engineering
The Department of Architecture Faculty of Engineering University of Debrecen is the unique responsible for architectural education at the faculty The education consists of two undergraduate curricula (BSc and MSc), and the number of students is approximately 130 in total. The department is the only institution on the east side of the Danube where architecture is taught. Due to this geographical attribution the department is focusing on local issues, maintaining a strong relationship between the city of Debrecen and the broader region. The students are also mostly from the region, which is lacking of experts in the field of architecture, so our role is quite important. Due to the small size of our department teaching takes place in small groups, ateliers which facilitates the motivating relationship between students and tutors. The architectural programs are focusing on local and real problems which results several benefits.
The students recognize much deeper their local region and its architectural issues. Local actors are involved during the whole process of architectural design, so the students meet several diverse points of view, so they should
work with interdisciplinary approach. We believe that making dialogue towards the society is a very important role of contemporary architecture. For that reason we try to help the region to understand architectural problems. We organise quite often exhibitions, lectures, conferences and we are making research works and publications on present architectural discussions with the society. We are trying to work using interdisciplinary methods, involving experts from other disciplines. We think our department’s task is the education of analitical architects and creating the will of the active communication between our profession and society. Our staff contains 12 full time members (1 professor, 5 associate professor, 3 senior lecturers, 1 assistant lecturers and 2 teachers) and invited teachers from diverse disciplines.

Falls are the leading cause of death at construction sites, with one in three construction-related deaths the result of a fall. This startling statistic makes fall prevention all the more important. Construction sites can be some of the most dangerous locations, and while some hazards and obstacles cannot be avoided due to the job’s nature, planning and preparation can help prevent devastating accidents and unnecessary loss of life.
Not only does OSHA have a convenient checklist to help prevent falls at construction sites, but it has created a campaign specifically targeting this concern. OSHA’s simple three-step process suggests that a site
- “Plan ahead to get the job done safely”;
- “Provide the right equipment”; and
- “Train everyone to use the equipment safely”
Simple steps may not eliminate risks, but they can guarantee that the risks are manageable and can prevent falls and other injuries that may lead to death. By planning and providing the proper equipment, site managers and operators will know that their employees have the tools to do their job properly.
United Safety Professionals is devoted to helping you create and maintain safe construction sites, by providing thorough, hands-on training to help prevent falls and other accidents. Not sure where to start to make sure safety is on everyone’s mind at your site? We offer both 10-hour and 30-hour OSHA construction training programs that will give you a full understanding of the initial steps to take to improve fall protection on your jobsite. You can also find a number of online training programs that allow you to learn about relevant and related guidelines at your own convenience.

As Ryan Young prepares ahead of his May 27th showdown with Montreal’s Shakeel Phinn for the IBO Super Middleweight Americas belt, there are no secrets or surprises.
At age 38, with a full and fruitful career behind him, Young (15-4, 11 KO) knows what it will take to beat Phinn in a clash of two battle-tested Canadian fighters with a long list of victories — many by way of knockout — on their respective resumes.
“It’s a great matchup for Canadian boxing,” says Young, an Oakville, Ont. product who has never said no to a challenge. “In Ontario, there’s been a theme of building records for some guys, (but) I never shy away from competition.”
The signature wins — Canadian title victories over Ryan Wagner and Tim Cronin, and revenge well-taken against Jamaica’s Tsetsi Davis last November — are indeed impressive.
The peaks and valleys of boxing have presented themselves, in spades, over the course of his career.
There was the highly-contested majority decision defeat to Patrice Volny in 2018, followed just five months later by the dominant performance against Cronin to claim the Canadian Light Heavyweight title; through it all, the one constant has been his unwavering fan support.
“Beyond the two Canadian titles, being able to fight in front of friends and family, everyone who’s been so supportive throughout my career, is a highlight,” continues Young, who co-owns and operates the Oakville Boxing Academy.
As one might expect between two established professionals at this stage of their careers, pre-fight fireworks or a war of words are notably absent between Young and Phinn.
“Look, Shakeel is a stand-up dude in the interviews I’ve seen, nobody speaks poorly of him,” cedes Young, who is undefeated in three fights at the CAA Centre. “Inside the ring, I know he is coming to put pressure, push you backwards (and) throw multiple punches.
“He’ll be at that same output for 10 rounds, if it goes the distance.”
Seven years ago, legendary Toronto Sun columnist Steve Buffery interviewed a Young — then undefeated and the reigning Canadian super welterweight champion — that was adamant: He might fight until 35 or 36, but no further.
Fast forward to present day, however, and Young — a lean 38 years old, still with heavy pop in both hands — is fighting for a continental title with the promise of bigger paydays should he prevail.
“When you hear 40, you associate stopping your career at that time,” reflects Young. “Then you get older, go through COVID, and having a career that didn’t start until 25…I’m not too worried.
“When I get the win on May 27th, it’s going to put me into the upper echelon of boxing on the North American and European scene,” he predicts. “Bigger and better things once I win this title — we always keep it pushing.”
The fighting pride of Oakville will have his vintage roaring crowd behind him in Brampton, and is unequivocal about the outcome.
“I have the boxing skillset to weather his storm and catch him in between with shots,” he summarizes. “The game plan is to stop Shakeel Phinn on May 27th.
“That’s the only way I see this fight going.”
Ryan Young faces Shakeel Phinn for the IBO Americas Super Middleweight Title on May 27 at Brampton’s CAA Centre. Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster.ca!
Ringside with Carlos is a column written by United Promotions Ring Announcer Carlos Verde, featuring reflections on Ontario boxing, fighter profiles and feature stories on those in the fight game.

Many people are looking to have successful career in the insurance industry, however many businesses are also pulling out of business due to fierce competition. However, there are ways for individual agents to achieve proper competitiveness in the market. It is important for us to look for ways to encourage consumers. In this case, we may consider incorporating online presence. It goes without saying that the whole industry has been significantly influenced by the mobile and online technologies. More and more people are relying on online implementations to properly meet their financial requirements. However, it is obvious that simply running a website isn’t good enough, but it is clear that consumers expect us to have a website. It is important for us to take our website to the next level, so we can give our potential customers what they need. There are many guides and informational sources to help up save money and improve everything. By having properly designed website, consumers will know that we are dedicated to help them.
Don’t have a proper website yet? Fortunately, blogs are an easy way to create and maintain a web presence. What originally started out as online journals have morphed into useful tools for professionals to communicate their services to potential consumers and build a community consisted of loyal customers. However, it is a bad idea to start out with free online services, like Blogger.com. Alternatively, we need to create a dedicated website with our own unique names. WordPress is a very easy blogging platform to operate and there are ways to learn more about it. Consumers should be able to post comments and read our entries. In this case, we should be able to connect with prospects and if possible, other insurance professionals. In this case, we should take our networking skills and experience to the next level. Often, we are not sure what we should write. Initially, we could write about latest happenings and trends in the insurance industry. Soon, we would get more ideas, such as providing saving tips, explanation on insurance rules and others. The possibilities in blogging are simply infinite.
Even random visitors would become more interested to learn more about insurance if we are able to explain it in a very simple way, so people with no knowledge in financial matters can learn about it. Eventually, they will be encouraged to purchase an insurance policy that matches their requirements and the first agent they consider to choose is very likely us. It is also important for insurance agents to look for promising insurance leads through different online methods. Social media is considered as a powerful tool that can help us to communicate with many people at once. Today’s clients does care much about proper customer service and by having a solid online presence, we won’t have a slack in this department. This should translate immediately to trust and we should gain enough consumers by being trustworthy.

We can go for a few weeks without food, a few days without water, but only a few minutes without breathing, before we die.
We invited Dr Rosalba Courtney, an osteopath with over 30 years of clinical practice do discuss breathing.
Dr Courtney wanted to identify the key piece of advice to help her patients improve their health. To find the answer she did a PhD on dysfunctional breathing and discovered that there is a lot more to breathing than simply the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Practical advice from Dr Rosalba Courtney
Dr Rosalba leaves us with these 5 tips:
- If you’re breathing through your mouth, take care of that first.
- Become aware of your breathing.
- Breathe through your nose.
- Breathe low, slow and soft.
- Investigate your nighttime breathing.
Dr Rosalba believes that the biggest challenge for people in our modern world on their journey towards having good health is: “Breathing in airway.”
A summary from Dr Ron
“I came away from this interview thinking that breathing is really about regulation, it’s regulating our body chemistry, it’s providing us with a filtration system if we’re doing it well, it’s providing us with an internal massage system through our diaphragm if we’re doing it well. But it’s not just about regulation, it’s about building resilience.
That’s the theme of the Unstress Health Membership: To help you take control of your own health, to build physical, mental and emotional resilience to deal with the stresses of life. Breathing is just so fundamental.”

Captain Future Ghostman
Under normal circumstances, record producer Alex McGowan, aka Captain Future, is immersed in his London studio Space Eko East, recording Roots and Rock'n'Roll acts such as The Urban Voodoo Machine, Paul-Ronney Angel, Son of Dave, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, Sister Cookie as well as artists of different genres like The Tiger Lillies, Tricky, Stewart Copeland, Josh Homme, Mark Lanegan. While dedicating the rest of his time to his 9-piece Rock'n'Roll Gospel band The Future Shape Of Sound, they have gained some notoriety on the UK scene in recent years delivering their energetic colourful live shows to festivals and venues all over the country. But when normality was canceled during the pandemic 2020, and with it all festivals, gigs and studio congregations, there was suddenly a void that initially looked very bleak and scary. But counting his blessings, Alex decided that this was an opportunity to turn up the heat on completing an album that had been 'almost fnished' for too long. In contrast to the upbeat gospel sounds of The Future Shape Of Sound, 'Ghostman' offers a collection of songs that show a different, more personal side. Downtempo dubby blues, juxtaposed with escapist trip hop style beats, elements which are all very familiar in Alex's previous collaborations with high-profle artists such as Martina Topley Bird, Jah Wobble, The Starseeds. This is a chilled out, after hours album! Sit back, dim the lights, choose your poison and let it be the soundtrack to your escape.

China firm on protecting territory as Japan ramps up tension
Updated: 2016-01-12 19:22
By Li Xiaokun(chinadaily.com.cn)
Beijing is determined to protect its territory, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday as Japan warned it would send naval patrols demanding Chinese naval vessels leave waters near the Diaoyu Islands.
"China's stance on the Diaoyu Islands is consistent and clear," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said at a regular press briefing, adding the islands have been Chinese territory since "ancient times".
"At the same time we do not want to see tensions escalate in the East China Sea and are willing to properly manage, control and settle the problems through dialogue and consultation."
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference on Tuesday that Tokyo had informed China that any foreign naval vessel that enters "Japanese territorial waters" for reasons other than "innocent passage" will be told to leave by a Japanese naval patrol.
He said Japan informed China of its decision in November, after Chinese "navy ships" sailed near the islands.
Late last year, a Chinese coastguard vessel, which Japan claimed had gun turrets, entered waters near the islands, Japan's coastguard said, adding that it was the first such "incursion" by an "armed Chinese vessel" in the area.
Huo jiangang, an expert on Japanese studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said Japan's move is the latest in its collective self-defense strategy which expands the role of its armed forces.
Xing Guangmei, a Beijing-based military expert, said he does not accept Japan's claim that China had sent armed warships to waters around the islands.
"China is not sending warships there. Maybe Japan means that China's coastguard vessel carries guns, but Japanese ships also carry guns. That does not change the nature of the law enforcement vessels."
He said if Japan sends its Self-Defense Force to waters near the islands, China should also send its navy.
He said if Japan sends the SDF, it will be embarking on the first step in militarizing the region, as so far both countries had only sent law enforcement vessels there.

Some adults speak with Sharon Osaji on what they will do and how they will deal with a spouse who tells lies
I can’t deal –Bode Black
It is a no-no for me; I can’t cope with a lying spouse. I will completely avoid it because such people can’t change. Of what good is a relationship with someone that lies? You can’t package a lying woman and such an attitude will definitely show while dating. She can’t just start displaying it in marriage. So, before it even leads to marriage, I’m out.
I’ll always suspect him – Peace Otu
A lying spouse will make his or her partner live in suspicion all the time, and it further complicates the problem. First, I think for them to be able to be together, the other spouse should build a strong coping mechanism to be with them. Secondly, the other spouse should filter every piece of information that comes from the lying spouse.
I will lose trust in her – Victor Osi
For me, I can’t cope with a lying spouse because I will lose trust in everything she says. The union will collapse immediately I notice lies. I’ll try as much as I can to not take anything she says seriously because her words and actions will become trivial to me. I think that will enable me to maintain my sanity of mind.
Hold a conversation – Olusegun Mary
This type of spouse needs continuous prayer because it is plain wickedness. Then, you will need to hold a conversation with him to discover the reason why he is always lying, especially when you as the woman, know the truth. Then, let him realise how wicked his actions are and how much it hurts you; probably he might change.
It will be difficult – Vincent Ojo
It will be difficult to live with such a person because I will have to confirm everything she tells me. One will have to be very careful when issues arise either in the home or outside the home. As difficult as it sounds, she will clearly know I don’t trust her. We will also seek counselling, either with family or people we can trust and for any serious decision, we will document everything, knowing she can deny or lie about it later. I might also start recording our telephone conversations as well.
I won’t blame myself for his misbehaviour – Jane Ogo
Firstly, I will review his lying pattern and I will try not to blame myself for his misbehaviour. After assessing the situation and how it has affected our relationship, then I will seek professional help so that we can work things out as a couple.
I’ll try to regain my partner’s trust – Joseph Ugo
A lying spouse is one step away from a cheating spouse. Lying to me is an indicator of a lack of trust. It’s a really bad sign in any relationship to know your spouse always tells lies, either to cover up money issues, mistakes or to just mislead your partner. Whichever one it is, it’s really a bad indicator and it will be difficult to regain trust and confidence in such a person. Partners have to learn to confide in each other, whether it’s good or bad; they can work things out. So, I will try to regain my partner’s trust so she doesn’t have to tell me lies to get away with stuffs or to hide the shame in the truth. Trust is very important in every relationship.
Pray for them – Lilian Gold
If they acknowledge every time they lie and do not make you, as the other spouse, feel like the one at fault or make you feel like you’re overreacting to things, then you know such a person is making effort. One major way to deal with that is to pray for them and seek counsel or therapy, while believing that God will change them, because we as humans cannot change them. Then the other spouse has to help them make conscious efforts to drop the habit.
Hold them accountable – Nsikan Alade
Well for starters, hold them accountable with enough receipts so they can refrain from the habit. Then seek therapy to know how and why it started. Maybe they are insecure about something.
Catch him red-handed – Channah Ofure
First of all, I will try to study his lying pattern to know when, why and how he lies. When I know these things, it will help me to know my next step. Then, I will catch him red-handed with evidence because they will never accept that they have lied. Then, we will have a one-on-one conversation and try as much as possible to let the past be the past and just move forward. There is always an explanation for such actions and I’d just hope we can work things out.

Patience’s death was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Information, Ini Ememobong, in a statement issued early Friday.
According to the commissioner, the First Lady died at a hospital on September 26, 2024, surrounded by family members.
The president’s message was in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, at the State House, Abuja.
The statement noted that on behalf of the Federal Government, the president commiserates with the Eno family, the state government and the Akwa Ibomites.
“The President joins them in mourning the painful and profound loss of the state’s First Lady, who has supported Governor Eno’s administration. The President affirms that Patience Eno, as the wife to a visionary governor and an ordained gospel minister, embodied humility, resilience, and loyalty.
“President Tinubu acknowledges that through her ‘Golden Initiative for All,’ she demonstrated her passion for serving the people and residents of Akwa Ibom state with love, honesty, and dedication, leaving a positive impact that will continue to inspire future generations.
“He trusts that her selfless service to improve the lives of women, children, and the vulnerable will forever remain an important part of Akwa Ibom’s history, a legacy that will continue to inspire and be appreciated by future generations.”
The statement added that Tinubu assured the grieving family, friends and relatives of the deceased of his support.
In a related development, the Southern Governors’ Forum, in a statement by the SGF Chairman and Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, described the governor’s late wife as a remarkable woman who was the pillar behind her husband’s success in both the private and public sectors.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Governor Pastor Umo Eno on the tragic passing of his beloved wife, Pastor (Mrs) Patience Umo Eno. A remarkable woman, Pastor Patience was not only a devoted partner to the governor but also a pillar of strength and inspiration to countless individuals in Akwa Ibom State in particular and Nigeria in general.
“Pastor (Mrs.) Patience Umo Eno dedicated her life to serving others, embodying the values of compassion, faith, and resilience. Her tireless efforts in uplifting the less privileged and advocating for the welfare of women and children in Akwa Ibom State have left an indelible mark. She was a beacon of hope whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of many.
“In this time of profound grief, we stand in solidarity with Governor Umo Eno and the entire Umo Eno family. The loss of a cherished spouse is a pain that words cannot fully express.
“We encourage our friend and colleague, Governor Umo Eno, to find solace in the love and memories shared with Pastor Patience, as well as in the support of family, friends, and the people of Akwa Ibom State who mourn alongside him.”
The forum prayed for eternal rest for the deceased.

What do the biggest celebrities actually earn for a single sponsored Instagram post?
The numbers will both astound and annoy you, seeing the rich get richer with every update to the app, with even a basic post earning the top stars potentially millions of dollars.
Though it also makes sense. These high-profile users offer huge exposure potential with their endorsements, and getting them to post on your brand’s behalf can be a game-changer in many respects. Indeed, I’m sure that most brands would be happy to pay these amounts for the benefits of association, yet even so, the list is pretty mind-boggling, when you consider what these amounts mean in actual, real-world terms.
So these are estimates, we don’t know for sure that these are the actual amounts these celebrities are paid. But anywhere close would be enough to change your life, in a single IG update.
Check out the visualization below.

It’s been a sad and tragic few months for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Seven brave men and women died while performing their military duties for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
On April 29, Stalker-22 crashed in the Ionian Sea killing six military members – Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough, Capt. Brenden Ian MacDonald, Capt. Kevin Hagen, Capt. Maxime Miron-Morin, Sub-Lt. Matthew Pyke, and Master Cpl. Matthew Cousins. After undergoing a search and recovery mission, the CAF along with the assistance from the U.S. Navy recovered parts of the helicopter, and some remains under 3,000 metres of water.
In a separate incident on May 17, an RCAF CT-114 Tutor aircraft crashed in the vicinity of Kamloops, British Columbia killing Capt. Jennifer Casey and injuring the pilot. Capt. Casey was the Public Affairs Officer of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds team, which was deployed on Operation INSPIRATION, a mission to flyover Canada to lift the spirits of Canadians and salute frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Both of these incidents resulted in the tragic loss of lives for the families, the RCAF, and Canada. On behalf of the Vanguard team, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of the fallen officers and the RCAF. Our thoughts go out to the loved ones of the military officers who died while serving Canada.
In this edition of Vanguard, we take a look at the Canadian Army from a procurement perspective, as well as, a futuristic look. Our feature story is an interview with Col Christopher Renahan, Director Land Requirements, Canadian Army. In this piece, Col Renahan talks about advancing Strong, Secure, Engaged projects, an update on the major capital programmes, the Army of Tomorrow, the RFI process, the allocation of minor capital funding, and what keeps him up at night. In looking at the future, LCol Amir ElMasry writes about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on army operations in the future. In this article, he paints the picture of what the battlefield will look like in 2050 based on technological elements emerging today. AI will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the Canadian Army of the future through augmented soldiers, and changes to Adaptive Dispersed Operations (ADO) with automated decision making, micro-targeting, large scale self-organizing, and the ability to sort through endless data, which will enable the Canadian Army to have superiority in the battlespace.
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has been at the heart of the Canada-U.S. defence relationship since the late 1950s. Michael Dawson writes about the uniqueness of this defence relationship given its bi-national structure in which the Commander and Deputy Commander report to both governments. Dawson points out that due to the changes in the geopolitical environment, technological developments, and different understandings of the utility of nuclear weapons today, NORAD is at a point where the question of its future relevance will depend upon choices made in Canada.
As we hopefully approach the tail end of the COVID-19, LGen D. Michael Day (Ret’d) writes about how this global pandemic provides an opportunity to refresh defence and security. Canada now has the opportunity to lay out a vision of Foreign and Security Policy that can be translated into a Defence Policy.
To round off this issue, I would like to highlight our Game Changers – Ugo Paniconi, General Manager, MAS, L3Harris Technologies and Justin Granek, VP Operations, Xtract AI. These are executives who are employing game-changing initiatives within their organizations and the industry.
Thanks for taking the time to read this issue.

General Secretary To Lam Meets Vietnamese Community During Embassy Visit in Malaysia
National Great Unity Among Most Important Resources | |
Building Strong and Resilient Nation for a Secure Future |
At the meeting, the Vietnamese Ambassador to Malaysia, Dinh Ngoc Linh, reported that more than 30,000 Vietnamese citizens currently live, study, and work in Malaysia, primarily in the western peninsula. The capital Kuala Lumpur and the states of Penang, Johor, and Ipoh host the largest concentrations of Vietnamese residents.
Ambassador Dinh noted that the Vietnamese community in Malaysia is largely united, hardworking, and supportive of one another. They adhere well to Vietnamese and Malaysian laws and integrate effectively into local society.

Ambassador Dinh emphasized that Vietnam’s strong global position, driven by the Party and State’s sound leadership and policies, has fostered a dynamic and rapidly developing nation. This has created favorable conditions for Vietnam’s diplomatic missions abroad and inspired the Vietnamese community in Malaysia to uphold patriotism, national pride, and trust in the leadership of the Party and State. The community has also expressed joy and pride in Vietnam’s achievements over nearly 40 years of renovation and development.
In her remarks, Tran Thi Chang, Chairwoman of the Malaysia-Vietnam Friendship Association, described the meeting as a deeply memorable and inspiring event. She highlighted the attention and support from the Vietnamese Party, State, and Government toward overseas Vietnamese, particularly those in Malaysia. Chang expressed hope that Vietnam’s leadership would continue supporting overseas Vietnamese and facilitating opportunities for investment and collaboration. She also called for cooperation between Vietnamese and Malaysian authorities to address challenges, such as ensuring legal rights for Vietnamese brides in Malaysia.
Speaking at the gathering, General Secretary To Lam expressed his joy and emotion at meeting staff from the Vietnamese Embassy, community representatives, businesses, and Vietnamese students in Malaysia in a warm and patriotic atmosphere. He announced that during his official visit to Malaysia, the two countries agreed to upgrade their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This upgrade is a significant milestone, opening vast opportunities for collaboration as the two nations enter a new phase of development. The strengthened bilateral ties aim to deliver benefits to both peoples and contribute to regional and global peace, stability, and economic integration.
General Secretary To Lam. |
General Secretary To Lam encouraged Vietnamese citizens in Malaysia to comply with local laws and labor contracts, uphold the image of hardworking and compassionate Vietnamese people, and actively integrate into Malaysian society. He expressed confidence that the Vietnamese community in Malaysia would continue to grow, maintain solidarity, and contribute to the development of their homeland while preserving and promoting Vietnamese language and cultural traditions.
Regarding the Vietnamese community in Malaysia, General Secretary To Lam reaffirmed the Party and State’s commitment to overseas Vietnamese, emphasizing that they are an inseparable part of the nation and a vital resource for Vietnam. He noted that the Vietnamese Government has implemented policies to support and care for its overseas citizens.

He called for a focus on deepening and enhancing bilateral cooperation under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework.

As the European Travel Information and Authorization System, more commonly known as ETIAS, gains traction as a pivotal travel authorization, travellers are keen to understand the time it takes to obtain an ETIAS.
In this article, we will look into the intricacies of the application process timeline, factors affecting processing duration, tips for efficient application, and considerations for travellers planning their visits to the Schengen Area.
What is the processing time for an ETIAS?
The application is quick and simple to complete. Most applicants will get their ETIAS travel authorization immediately, but it could take up to 30 days in rare circumstances. This is why, to prevent problems, you should apply well before your trip.
Application Process Timeline
The timeline for obtaining an ETIAS can vary based on multiple factors. The application process consists of several steps that collectively determine the time required:
- Application Submission: The first step involves completing the online ETIAS application form. This process typically takes around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the applicant’s familiarity with the form and the accuracy of the provided information.
- Security Screening: Once the application is submitted, the provided information undergoes security checks against various databases. This step is pivotal for ensuring the safety and integrity of the Schengen Area. Security screening can take a few minutes to several hours, depending on the complexity of the background checks.
- Payment: After passing the security screening, applicants are required to make the payment for the ETIAS processing fee. The payment process generally takes a few minutes and can vary based on the chosen payment method and system responsiveness.
- Authorization Issuance: Once the payment is confirmed and the application is approved, the ETIAS authorization is issued. Again, this final step can take minutes or a few hours, depending on various factors.
Factors Affecting Processing Duration
Many factors can adjust the time it takes to get an ETIAS:
- Application Accuracy: Providing accurate and complete information in the application form reduces the likelihood of delays due to data inconsistencies.
- Security Screening: The complexity of security checks can impact processing times. Some applications may require more in-depth reviews, leading to longer processing times.
- Payment Confirmation: The time taken for payment confirmation can depend on the chosen payment method and the efficiency of the payment processing system.
- Application Volume: The overall volume of applications processed at a given time can also influence processing duration. Due to increased application volumes, peak travel seasons may lead to slightly longer processing times.
Tips for an Efficient Application
To expedite the ETIAS application process, consider the following tips:
- Prepare Documents: Have your passport, personal information, travel details, and any necessary supporting documents ready before starting the application.
- Accuracy: Ensure that the information provided in the application is accurate, complete, and matches the details in your passport.
- Secure Payment: Have your preferred payment method ready to complete the payment promptly.
- Early Application: Apply for your ETIAS before your travel date to account for potential delays.
Considerations for Travellers
Given the varying factors that affect processing times, travellers should consider the following:
- Plan Ahead: Applying for an ETIAS at least several days before your intended travel allows for any unforeseen delays in processing.
- Urgent Travel: If you have sudden travel plans, completing your ETIAS application as early as possible is advisable to avoid last-minute complications.
- Check Status: After submitting your application, periodically check the status of your ETIAS application through the official ETIAS website to stay informed about its progress.
Navigating the Path to Seamless Travel
Understanding the timeline for obtaining an ETIAS is paramount for travellers seeking a hassle-free journey to the Schengen Area. By comprehending the factors influencing processing duration and following the outlined tips, applicants can streamline the application process and ensure timely authorization issuance.
Whether planning a leisurely trip or navigating urgent travel plans, staying informed and proactive will empower travellers to confidently embark on their Schengen adventures. As ETIAS continues to shape the travel landscape, a well-prepared application process is key to unlocking the doors to seamless and secure exploration within the Schengen countries. Getting an ETIAS varies based on the accuracy of application information, security screening complexity, payment confirmation, and application volume.
The entire process, from submission to authorization issuance, can typically range from a few minutes to several hours. To ensure a smooth and efficient experience, travellers are encouraged to submit accurate information, complete the application diligently, and plan ahead to account for potential delays.
By understanding the application process timeline and taking proactive measures, travellers can secure their ETIAS authorizations promptly, contributing to a seamless travel experience within the Schengen Area.

Commonly, people of middle and older age have type 2 diabetes. The people who are not physically active and are overweight also have type 2 diabetes.

Image Cleanup jobs failing with RC88
I would like to ask you regarding following issue.
Almost all of the Image Cleanup jobs ends in error "(88) Open Storage WORM lock error."
In the Details of each job, there are always same lines with following message (for various backup images):
Info bpdm (pid=15004) Failed to delete WORM locked image XXXXXX_1675098989_C2_F1_R1: error 2060069.
I was trying to find any record for backup image "XXXXXX_1675098989" using "bpimagelist" however NetBackup does not know about it and returns "no entity was found".
Do you have any idea how to get rid of it?
Try nbdelete with the -force option. Likely there is entries in the EMM table where NBU track images it can't delete
If there is fragment left on the storage device and you use the force option, the fragment will remain on the storage device forever, as NBU no longer have any idea that they exist. So use option carefully.

I can still remember the gentle resistance to the clear drinking glass rim as I pressed it through the soft biscuit dough. Then the hard “clack” as the glass struck the countertop. The child I was knew the fledgling biscuit was cut, almost perfectly round.
My younger brother and I were in my grandmother “Lady’s” bright white tile Texas kitchen, with the woman I knew as “Julia” instructing. Julia had shared her cooking, wit, and wisdom with my family for many years, and was probably already well into her 70s on that bright summer day over 50 years ago.
Julia taught my brother and I to make pie crusts too, cutting the dough into strips, interlacing those strips at 90 degree angles to each other across the soft sweet apple pie filling mounded up in the pan, fluting the dough edges, then sprinkling the top with white granulated Imperial “Pure Cane” sugar.
With hands held up, fingers splayed wide, framing her face feigning delighted surprise, Julia called my grandmother over to view our edible art. “Look, look Marie!” “Look at what the boys have done!” My dramatic grandmother Lady then walked over with her own best surprised look arrayed across her face, exclaiming “Julia, I did not know these boys could create such beautiful pies…!”
Fast forward 50 years. It will be a hot day today in Winston-Salem, North Carolina as July ambles into view. It’s Saturday, and I am ambitiously planning (with help from some young people neighbors) planting some sun loving flowers out front. Almost July is not normally the best time to plant ornamentals, but I’m still pretty sure that these daylilies are going to make it.
“If you are going to put a pretty plant in your yard, you should choose a hardy plant!” I remember Lady advising me. She was fond of relocating attractive specimens (already locally adapted to the South Texas heat) from the rural family ranchland, lovingly replanting them into her own yard in town.
My daylily bulbs (that I have not gotten around to permanently planting yet after they arrived mail order this spring) are already thriving in the plastic outdoor holding box, within the peat moss where my wife temporarily planted them. They are, as my grandmother taught me, “hardy.”
University of California, Berkeley psychology and cognitive development professor Dr. Alison Gopnik wrote recently in her Wall Street Journal “Mind and Matter” column about the paradox evolutionary scientists face when exploring why it has been so important for humans, throughout our time on Earth, to care for our elders for so long, even when younger members of our clans take over the heavy family work as elder bodies age.
Gopnik asks that If humans are shaped by genetic evolution (“survival of the fittest”), why did we evolve to be so vulnerable for such a long period of our lives as we age?
New thinking postulates an intriguing but simple answer.
In a recent special issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, co-edited by Dr. Gopnik, Dr. Michael Gurven from the University of California at Santa Barbara argues that older people have a special place within human evolution. Many human foraging skills require years of practice. Hunters and fishers don’t reach their peak until they are in their 30s.
Dr. Gopnik notes that “it’s hard though to actively practice a skill and teach it to someone else at the same time (Sunday pancakes take twice as long when the kids help).” Dr. Gurven and his team found mathematically, however, that the best evolutionary strategy for developing many complex skills, is to have the old teach the young. That way, the peak, prime of life performers can focus on getting things done, while young learners are matched with older, very wise and experienced (but less physically productive) teachers.
Here we are now in mid-2020, with a dangerous virus disproportionately threatening our elders. We can bring this virus home to them unwittingly, without knowing. It’s not really that hard for most of us to social distance when in public, to wear a mask, until there is a vaccine, or some reliable cure. It’s not about autonomy, independence, politics, or convenience. It’s about love and caring, remembrance and thankfulness.
And it’s about valuing our elders the way the best-adapted members of our species have always done, throughout human history.

A Guide to Using Image Editing Services
Published January 25, 2024
In today's digital age, personalizing your device with unique wallpapers is more than just a trend; it's a form of self-expression. With the plethora of image editing services available, transforming your personal photos into stunning wallpapers has never been easier. This guide dives into the art of using these services to create wallpapers that are not just visually appealing but also a reflection of your personality.
Selecting the Right Images
The first step in creating your personalized wallpaper is choosing the right image. When selecting a photo, consider the following:
- Emotional Connection: Choose a photo that holds personal significance, be it a family picture, a snapshot from your travels, or even a candid moment.
- Quality and Resolution: High-resolution images work best, especially for larger screens. The better the quality, the more stunning your wallpaper will look.
- Composition: Look for images with a strong focal point. Remember, your icons and widgets will also occupy screen space.
Enhancing Your Photos
Once you've selected your image, it's time to enhance it. This is where image editing services come into play.
Adjusting Brightness and Contrast
Adjusting the brightness and contrast can dramatically alter the mood of your photo. Increase the brightness for a more lively wallpaper, or dial it down for a subtler look.
Using Filters and Effects
Many editing services offer a range of filters and effects. Experiment with these to add an artistic touch to your wallpapers.
A cluttered background can distract from the main subject of your photo. Using a background remover tool helps in focusing on the primary element, making it stand out.
Formatting for Different Screen Sizes
A key aspect of wallpaper design is ensuring your image fits perfectly on your screen. This involves cropping and resizing.
Aspect Ratio and Cropping
Adjust the aspect ratio to match your device's screen. Crop the image to highlight the best parts of your photo while ensuring it fits the screen without stretching.
For devices with high-resolution screens, ensure your image matches up. Use an upscale photo feature to enhance image quality without losing clarity.
Utilizing Advanced Editing Features
To truly make your wallpaper stand out, delve into more advanced editing techniques.
Layering and Text Overlay
Adding layers or text over your image can add depth and personalization. This could be a favorite quote, date, or even a simple graphic element.
AI Image Upscaler
For images that are lower in resolution, an AI image upscaler can be a game changer. It enhances the image quality, ensuring your wallpaper looks crisp and clear on any device.
Play with the color settings. Adjusting the hues can change the entire feel of the image, making it cooler or warmer depending on your preference.
Removing and Adding Elements
Sometimes, a photo may have unwanted elements. Or, you might want to add something to make it more interesting.
Remove Background For Free
Many services offer the ability to remove background for free. This feature is particularly useful for creating minimalist wallpapers.
Adding Graphics or Icons
Consider incorporating free PNGs or free SVGs of simple graphics or icons into your wallpaper for a personalized touch. These can vary from abstract forms to designs that complement the theme of the photo.
Final Touches and Exporting
The final step is to add those finishing touches and prepare your wallpaper for use.
Sharpening and Final Edits
A final sharpening can help bring out the details. Make any last-minute edits to ensure your wallpaper is exactly how you want it.
Exporting the Right Format
Export your wallpaper in the appropriate format. For most devices, a JPEG or PNG format works well.
Creating custom wallpapers from your personal photos becomes even more fulfilling when you utilize tools like a background remover and an image upscaler to personalize your digital space. By selecting the right images, and effectively employing image editing tools, you can transform everyday photos into extraordinary wallpapers. The key lies in experimenting and enjoying the creative process. Treat your device's screen as your canvas and let your creativity soar!

Abstract: Since the early 2000s, many Latin American countries achieved remarkable economic growth coupled with poverty and inequality reduction, largely due to the pursuit of a centuries-old pattern of commodity exports. The end of the commodity price super-cycle in 2014 puts some of these development gains in jeopardy, raising anxiety among emerging middle classes wary of slipping back into poverty. Drawing on a rich intellectual heritage, Latin American leaders have designed novel approaches in the pursuit of sustainable development. Alternative development narratives brought to the fore by left-wing governments have emphasised notions such as buen vivir1, arguably the most influential and revolutionary proposition originated in the region since different variants of the dependency theory. What is less clear is the extent to which competing ideologies and narratives have translated into diverging outcomes, be it with regard to (neo-) extractivism, ecological sustainability or the rights and cultural identity of indigenous peoples, or simply in terms of economic diversification. This chapter introduces the thematic issue of International Development Policy, which deals with recent paradigmatic innovations and development experiences in Latin America, with a particular focus on the Andean region.

Should women refrain from smoking weed while they are pregnant? Can the use of this so-called ‘safe drug’ by pregnant women adversely affect their unborn child? Here’s a write-up that focuses on the side effects of smoking weed during the course of pregnancy.
Weed, marijuana, or pot is considered as a ‘safe drug’ amongst the community of drug abusers. It is safe in a sense that it is not as hazardous as other stronger recreational drugs. Weed, therefore is the most widely abused drug in the United States. It can be consumed orally, or smoked in hand-rolled cigarettes, pipes, or water pipes. Smoking pot is also a common practice among women of all ages, without the exception of pregnant women. Some of the women who smoke pot, continue using it during the course of pregnancy, primarily due to the ‘safe drug’ tag attached to it. But is it safe to smoke weed while you are pregnant? Let’s find out what studies have revealed.
Effects of Smoking Weed during Pregnancy
Since the fetus gets all its nourishment from the mother’s blood, women must be extremely careful about their lifestyle during the course of pregnancy. Most pregnant women cut down on their intake of caffeinated drinks, and refrain from smoking cigarettes and consuming alcohol so as to prevent any damage to their unborn child. However, it is not uncommon for some women who smoke weed to continue using it during the first trimester of pregnancy and then quit it as they progress into third trimester. However, some studies state that smoking weed in first trimester may have as many risks as smoking in late pregnancy. During the first trimester, your baby’s vital organs have just started to develop. Hence, smoking any such substance at this critical stage can be risky.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a harmful ingredient in weed, which can enter placenta and cause some undesirable effects on the baby’s nervous system. The insufficient oxygen and blood supply is believed to cause low birth weight in babies. It may also put you at a risk of having a preterm labor. A low birth weight or smaller gestational age could make your baby susceptible to various infections, severe jaundice, feeding problems, respiratory troubles, etc. These infants may also be at a greater risk of death due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Children of mothers who smoked pot during pregnancy are believed to be vulnerable to having more behavioral problems than children whose mothers did not smoke. These children may be at a risk of developing autism, attention deficit hyperactivity, poor judgment, short term memory, etc. Although there is no clinical evidence to support this theory, a correlation between smoking and these disorders has been suggested through years of studies by experts.
Arguments Given in Favor of Weed
There are many women who believe that it is entirely safe to smoke pot during pregnancy. This belief stems from the fact that they have seen scores of mothers who smoked during their pregnancy and yet had perfectly healthy children. Indeed, there are a number of women who had normal pregnancies and delivered healthy children, irrespective of the use of weed. However, it’s best not to rely on what others say. Not every woman may have the same response to weed.
The confusion also arises due to conflicting theories or studies. For instance, in a study by Dr. Melanie Dreher and colleagues, no adverse effects were observed in children of women in southeast Jamaica who used cannabis occasionally for the treatment of nausea. On the other hand, studies by investigators at the University of Bristol in Great Britain stated that children of women who used tobacco, alcohol, or cannabis during pregnancy were at an increased risk of experiencing psychotic symptoms. A study from Adelaide University suggested that smoking pot could increase the possibility of a woman going into early labor.
Though there is a lack of sufficient clinical evidence regarding the hazards of pot during pregnancy, and you may feel encouraged to smoke weed with accounts of women experiencing relief from morning sickness after smoking weed, using this drug is not the only solution to cure it. There are a number of natural remedies that can comfort you.
Though marijuana does seem to offer certain health benefits, and its supporters stress on the need to legalize marijuana for treatment of certain conditions, studies need to be done to ensure that its therapeutic benefits outweigh the risks associated with it. As far as its effects on pregnant women is concerned, you will come across conflicting theories. Pregnant women must therefore consider all aspects before they take a decision to smoke or not. Also do remember the old adage, ‘it is better to be safe than sorry!’

Allice & Mandy Wedding
Froggy made our spectacular naked wedding cake, liaised with the florist to arrange fresh flowers and provided a cutting guide for our reception venue so we could serve it for dessert. We had caramel sponge with a chocolate ganache and vanilla buttercream icing, which we had the opportunity to taste prior. Apart from looking beautiful, the cake tasted amazing and we're still eating it.
Jake & Lauren Wedding
Froggy is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things cake. He has a seemingly endless variety of flavours to choose from, and we were blown away by his creativity and expertise! We selected six flavours to sample in house, and had a hard time narrowing it down to three! As I wanted a three-tier vintage inspired wedding cake, we selected a flavour for each tier. The cakes were not only delicious but also beautifully decorated, perfectly capturing the aesthetic we were aiming for. Froggy hand delivered the cake to our venue, providing them with a cake cutting guide to ensure the perfect amount of serves.

The key difference between note and notice is that a note is a very brief and informal message or record of details, whereas a notice is a written message that conveys an invitation, warning, or announcement to others. Notes and notices are two types of written messages that convey various types of information to people. Although both are brief, there is a distinct difference between the two. We usually write notes to let others know something or as a reminder to ourselves, but notices are usually made to inform a lot of people about something, for example, about an event about to happen or new guidelines to follow.
- Notes are brief, informal messages, while notices are more formal and convey invitations, warnings, or announcements.
- Notes use simple language and do not have a specific structure or format, whereas notices use formal language and have a format to follow.
- Notices are often displayed in public places or published in newspapers, while notes can be written on pieces of paper, in diaries, or on the side of book pages.
What is a Note?
A note is a brief informal message we make for ourselves or others. We mainly use simple language to write a note. This language is concise and should be free of similes and metaphors. The message conveyed in notes must be written very briefly without lengthy descriptions.
Notes are written on pieces of paper if it is a message or a reminder to be conveyed to others. At the same time, small notes can be written down in diaries and sides of the book pages. The notes written on the side of the books give further explanation and clarification on what is said in the book. Sometimes, students take down notes in between a lecture as a summary of the presentation of the presenter. Such notes can be used for further references. However, notes are not only in written form, but they can be kept in mind as a reminder.
What is a Notice?
A notice is a formal communication that targets a person or a group of people. It is a type of news item that informs about a special event or any other important message. A notice can be an invitation to a meeting, or it can be an announcement for an event. Notices are also used to issue particular instructions and guidelines.
Notices usually use formal language. But the sentences in notices are usually short and simple. Notices are often displayed in a public place. They can be posted on a notice board. If the notice has to be distributed to a wider audience, the particular notice can also be posted in the newspaper. When the government is issuing important notices, they publish them in the gazette and local newspapers.
Generally, notices have a format since they are published as documents. Nevertheless, there is no one specific format to follow. There are numerous formats used by people and institutions according to their needs, with some variations. Generally, the format of notice consists of a title, date, heading, body, and writer’s name. Notices should convey important points such as the message is conveyed, the place, time, and the targeted audience. Another important point that should be paid attention to is that a notice should be to the point.
What is the Difference Between Note and Notice?
The key difference between note and notice is that note is a very brief and informal message or record of details, whereas a notice is a written message that conveys an invitation, warning, or announcement. Moreover, notes are usually briefer and more precise than notices. Also, while notes use a very simple language, notices use a comparatively more formal language. Furthermore, although notices have a format to follow, notes do not have any structure or format to follow.
Summary – Note vs Notice
The key difference between note and notice is that note is a very brief and informal message or record of details, whereas a notice is a written message that conveys an invitation, warning, or announcement to others.

It was with great sadness, we saw the passing of Herman “Roscoe” Ernest on March 6th of this year. Dr. John’s “diesel funk” drummer for over 30 years, Mr. Ernest was loved and respected by all who knew him. In her husband’s memory, Joyce Ernest established a fund at the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation and in less than 2 months, that fund has evolved into the NOMAF Herman Ernest Memorial Interfaith Health Screening Initiative. A portion of this show’s proceeds will go to the this initiative, with the knowledge that earlier detection of cancer will save lives. Thank you for helping us in this effort.
It is our honor to dedicate Down on the Bayou III to Mr. Herman “Roscoe” Ernest III

Major Android device brands like Samsung, Xiaomi (Mi/Redmi/POCO), OnePlus, and Realme provide their own ways to hide apps. So, you can hide apps natively on these devices. However, if you are running stock Android, you have to use third-party apps like Lawnchair, etc.

Wisdom Course 59: The Character of God
Note: The tuition for these courses at the undergraduate level is $50 per credit hour and each course is 3 credit hours, the total cost of each course is $150. For tuition discounts, please contact Wisdom University through the contact us prompt.
Everything we do in life is motivated by fear. Most business decisions we make are made out of fear instead of faith. If we can overcome the fear factor, then we'll not be motivated by the bottom line. First Corinthians 1:9 says, "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." When you have continued to stand on the Word and nothing has happened, go back to the character of the person who spoke the Word; then find out if they are faithful in doing what they have said they would do. Join Dr. Siddiki as he teaches you about the character of God. In this course you will learn that: - God is forever faithful
- We need to magnify God--not the problem
- We need to meditate on the promise of God
- The deposit of God always multiplies
Hebrews 11:11 says, "Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised." God's faithfulness lies in HIS ability to bring to pass all HIS promises. | |

These Rugged Off-Road Track Chairs Make Michigan State Parks Accessible to Everyone
It's like someone took a motorized wheelchair into one of those custom garage shows you see on TV and customized it for the beach and the trails. Michigan State Parks now have 4 new track chairs.
Michigan native Kali Pung has raised more than $2 million to provide 4 track chairs to make Michigan State Parks accessible for everyone. Paralyzed in a 2006 auto accident, Kali is on the move and making things happen. These "track chairs," off-road, electronic wheelchairs, can easily handle trails, snow, sand and even up to 8 inches of water, allowing users to explore areas of the parks where traditional wheelchairs might not be able to go.
It's a piece of equipment that's amazing and will do some amazing things for people that may not have had the opportunity to enjoy this type of recreational experience before.
-Michigan Department of Natural Resources spokesperson
Free on a first-come, first-served basis at no cost to the individuals needing assistance, track charis are now available at Maybury, Muskegon and Tahquamenon Falls state parks, Belle Isle and Waterloo Recreation Area, thanks to the generosity of the Kali's Cure Foundation.

It was the year 2000. Numerous reports of rabid animal attacks began to occur sporadically throughout the northern parts of United States. Many blamed these assaults on environmental changes that affected the neurology of the wildlife.

But these reports soon became more widespread, and the last and only place that had not been infected at that time was the great Mississippi region. Well that was then...this is now. The walking dead have begun to make their presence felt here and all manner of mutated creatures are crossing the Mississippi River every day. Life has become an ongoing struggle for survival. Collected here are FIVE of humanity’s apocalyptic nightmares!

Denzel Washington to Film Movie at Popular Hudson Valley Diner
Next week customers at a popular Hudson Valley diner won't be able to order their favorite breakfast because the restaurant will be closed for filming.
Denzel Washington is currently working on the film Journal for Jordan. The movie tells the true story of Sgt. Charles Monroe King, who was killed in action in Baghdad. Before his death, King decided to write a journal for his son in case he didn't make it back alive. The diary includes instructions on living a good life and serves as a guidebook for the child who had to face growing up without his dad.
Washington is taking a break from being in front of the camera for this film, concentrating on his role as director. Black Panther actor, Michael B. Jordan will be playing the lead role of Charles Monroe King.
In January Denzel Washington was spotted in the Hudson Valley scouting out locations for the film. According to Lohud, the Oscar-winning actor settled on Sparky's Diner in Garnerville.
The Rockland County diner is a local favorite and has actually been featured in several other major motion pictures and television shows. You may recognize the building from its appearances in True Story, produced by Brad Pitt and starring Johan Hill and James Franco. The diner also popped up in Billions, Rise and Ben is Back, a 2018 drama starring Julia Roberts.
Washington returns to the diner this week to film scenes. It's unclear which actors will be involved in the shooting. While you may catch a glimpse of the action if you happen to be driving by on Ramapo Rd, those hoping to be a part of movie magic are out of luck. The diner will be closed to the public during filming.

LINCOLN, Neb. (NEBRASKA EXAMINER) — The year 2021 turned out to be a pretty good year for filmmaking in Nebraska, despite the pandemic, according to the State Film Office.
Bruce Springsteen shot a Jeep commercial in Webster County, episodes of “RV There Yet” were filmed at several state parks and an Italian-American horror-romance film used sites near Fort Robinson and Scottsbluff.
Laurie Richards, director of the State Film Office, said that no economic impact estimates were done on the projects but that film crews used no state incentives and spent locally on meals and lodging.
The crew of the Italian-American film, “Bones and All,” really enjoyed the food catered by the Dairy Sweet in Crawford, Richards said.
Other projects filmed in Nebraska last year included:
- “Heartland Docs,” a reality show in its third season about a husband-wife veterinary team from Hartington.
- “Ghost Hunters,” which shot an episode at Crofton’s Argo Hotel, which is reportedly haunted.
- “Daft State,” a soon-to-be-released psychological thriller directed by Omahan Chad Bishoff that was shot in west Omaha.
- A promotional shoot for Hewlett-Packard, filmed at the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Last year, as part of the state budget, state lawmakers launched a program to offer grants of up to $400,000 for feature films that are shot in the state and meet certain criteria. The program was aimed mainly at luring production of a film on the life of Chief Standing Bear, the Ponca chief who won a landmark court ruling in 1879 that recognized Native Americans as “persons” under the law.
Nebraska Examiner is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity. Nebraska Examiner maintains editorial independence.

La Salle didn’t do a lot in non-conference play, but that being said, the Explorers didn’t have a ton of opportunities to get quality wins. They had to go up against #1 Villanova on a neutral court (and actually played the Wildcats really well), and also had to face what’s becoming an improved Georgetown team out of the Big East. That said, this is no excuse for La Salle’s play overall. The Explorers’ defense was abysmal throughout non-conference play, allowing teams to shoot better than 43.1% from long range. La Salle snuck away with some decent wins here and there, and given the outlook of this team, it wasn’t an awful non-conference slate. La Salle enters A-10 play at 6-4 and will look to be a surprise Top-5 team in the league this year.
La Salle’s two best wins came at home over Florida Gulf Coast and Lehigh. From a mid-major standpoint, sure, these are good wins over teams that are likely the frontrunners in their respective divisions. From a national standpoint, these wins are just so-so and won’t do you much good if you’re a program that’s hoping to make it to the Big Dance. But for a team that won just 9 games in total last season, I think the Explorers will take it. La Salle wasn’t able to beat Drexel or FGCU last season but got those wins this year, so it’s a step in the right direction.
A triple overtime win over Mercer may have been cool, but the Bears are 191st according to Kenpom, so La Salle has to be relieved it picked up that one. None of La Salle’s other wins are very noteworthy, but every team has its buy games, and with the exception of 1 (we’ll get to that), La Salle took care of business against the underdogs.
La Salle’s worst loss, hands down, came against Texas Southern earlier in the season. Honestly, that’s the only thing really holding this team back right now. If you think about it, La Salle played Villanova very tight, it went on the road and lost in overtime to a Temple team that’s looking like it could be a bubble team at the end of the season, and it stayed pretty close with Georgetown on a neutral floor before the Hoyas ran away with it in the second half. This team has undoubtedly showed signs of improvement, and the fact that it can even hang around with top dogs is a great sign for this program. La Salle only managed 47 points against Villanova last year while notching 79 against the Wildcats this year. The loss to Texas Southern is bad, but that’s about it.
Non-Conference Grade: B-
Without a loss to Texas Southern, this team is average around the B+ range, but that loss drops the Explorers down a bit. Had La Salle managed to steal one on the road over Temple or beat Georgetown in Miami as well, then we’re looking at an A for the Explorers. Obviously, we can’t look at it like this, but you should know that La Salle was pretty close to having a very solid out of conference showing. I still think this is a sleeper team in the Atlantic 10, but considering this team hasn’t faced a lot of mid-level talent (like teams in the A-10), I’m really not sure what to expect. Conference play is going to be very telling for this La Salle team.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEWARK, NJ -- The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey today announced the filing of a lawsuit against Hudson and Passaic Counties, seeking disclosure of the names of all Immigration and Naturalization Service detainees held in those counties' jails.
""If families, advocates, and journalists can't even get basic information about the people being held in New Jersey jails, how can the public assess whether rights are being protected, and how can we address allegations of mistreatment?"" said Deborah Jacobs, Executive Director of the ACLU of New Jersey. ""Accountable government is a foundation of our democracy.""
New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 30:8-16) requires that the names and the dates of entry of all inmates in county jails ""shall be open to public inspection."" Further, the ACLU is entitled to the information under the state's Open Public Records law, which establishes that all records which are required by law to be made, maintained or kept by any public official are deemed to be public records.
Just two weeks ago the state legislature passed a bill that significantly expands and improves public access to government records in New Jersey. "Our elected representatives have recognized the essential need for public access to information, but at the same time we have county governments refusing to release records even though they are required by law to do so,"" said Jacobs. The change in the public records law does not affect the ACLU's claims, because current law already mandates the release of the records the ACLU seeks.
""New Jersey law helps to ensure that the government does not act behind the public's back,"" said Ron Chen, a cooperating attorney with the ACLU of New Jersey. ""We are asking for information about people who have not been charged with any crime or shown to be connected to terrorism. We just want to make sure that these people have access to legal help to secure their basic due process rights.""
On November 28, 2001, the ACLU requested the names of all inmates held at the two county jails. Both counties were willing to disclose the names of county inmates but refused to disclose the names of those inmates confined pursuant to an agreement between the jails and the INS. Passaic County refused the request on December 10, 2001, and Hudson County on January 11, 2002. In addition to the names of detainees, the ACLU's request asked for their dates of entry, their ages and nationalities.
The national ACLU has also filed a request for the names of immigration detainees held nationwide. While the national ACLU lawsuit was made pursuant to the federal Freedom of Information Act, the New Jersey case relies solely on state law.
In the federal case, the ACLU received a response from the government on Jan. 11 that it deemed ""inadequate and incomplete."" They now seek further information concerning the completeness and accuracy of that information.
Over the past month, the ACLU of New Jersey has coordinated statewide efforts to attempt to ensure that all detainees who desire legal representation have it afforded to them. New Jersey rights advocates have experienced frustration at the lack of information available about the detainees, including reports from the federal government that seem inconsistent with estimates from observers who have visited the Passaic and Hudson County Jails.
The lead attorney on the case is Ronald K. Chen of the Rutgers Constitutional Litigation Clinic. A copy of the brief is available online at http://archive.aclu.org/court/hudson_county.pdf

O2 holds its place as one of the least complained mobile networks
Ofcom has just published the latest league tables on the complaints we receive about the UK’s major home phone, broadband, mobile and pay-tv firms. Complaints about the telecoms industry fell to levels seen before the start of the pandemic, according to latest figures from Ofcom.
The regulator publishes data every three months to help consumers make informed decisions and to encourage operators to improve their service and how they handle complaints. The volume of grievances increased during lockdown, as many people became increasingly reliant on their home and broadband connections for work, education, communication, and entertainment. The quarterly report reveals the number of complaints made to Ofcom between April and June this year, when the UK’s lockdown restrictions began to ease. Complaints in this quarter fell across the board to levels seen before the Covid-19 pandemic. Virgin Mobile was the most complained-about mobile operator, along with Three and Vodafone; while Tesco Mobile, BT Mobile, Sky Mobile, EE and O2 were all tied as least complained-about operators.
Fergal Farragher, Ofcom’s Consumer Protection Director, commented, “It’s encouraging to see complaints figures falling across the board to pre-pandemic levels, but providers cannot be complacent about their customer service. Those with a consistently high number of complaints still have a lot of work to do to ensure they meet the expectations of their customers.”
In the mobile segment, the industry average was just 3. Tesco Mobile continues to lead the way with just 1 complaint per 100,000 – the same as Sky and EE. O2 (2) and BT (3) also fared well, with Vodafone recording 4 complaints, iD Mobile 5 and Virgin Media also 5. Three received the most complaints with 6.
“These complaints figures are from the peak of the pandemic, which was a difficult time for everyone, including businesses,” said Fergal Farragher, Ofcom’s Consumer Protection Director. “But some providers clearly struggled with customer service more than others, and we understand how frustrating that must have been for their customers at a time when they needed their communications services the most. We have been clear to providers that we expect performance to now return to at least the levels we saw before the pandemic hit – or even better.”
When the Covid-19 pandemic first hit the United Kingdom, most companies had no idea what to do with their customer service operations. As they scrambled for new ways to help their customers, little did they know that many of the temporary changes they implemented would actually become long-term. Businesses had to adapt and work harder to understand the challenges and difficulties their customers were facing, and many of them responded to a national event with empathy for their customers.
In telecommunications, we’ve seen a huge increase in downloading content as consumers forced to stay indoors look for entertainment. Satellite and cable providers have experienced surges in demand for streaming content. Much of that customer service can be automated via business messaging and intelligent chatbots, leaving humans to handle the more complex tasks or those requiring empathy.
Congratulations to all the organisations who have worked so hard to keep customers connected and manage their service needs throughout the last nineteen months since the first lockdown. Customers have needed their suppliers more than ever and for those who have continued to provide an exceptional level of customer experience should be applauded. Brands have learned an important lesson about empathy during this pandemic. Why not keep this empathy going? If there’s one big lesson we’ve learned, it’s that caring for your customers is good for business.

The Rose of Fire has Returned
The Struggle for the Streets of Barcelona a text by Peter Gelderloos
Only 2 left in stock
The following article was written a few months ago after a huge, incendiary general strike in Spain on March 29. We post it here now, after May Day in Seattle, to show what kinds of things are actually possible elsewhere in the world… Think of it as inspiration.
In May 2011, tens of thousands occupied plazas throughout Spain in a protest movement that prefigured similar occupations around the world, including the Occupy movement in the United States. On March 29, 2012, a nationwide general strike erupted into massive street-fighting in Barcelona, as participants wrested control of the streets from riot police. How did this come to pass, and what can it tell us about what will follow the occupation movements outside Spain?
Here, [Crimethinc’s] Barcelona correspondent provides extensive background on the riots of March 29, tracing the trajectory from the plaza occupations to the general strike, and explores the questions that have arisen as anarchists face new opportunities and challenges.

The 5 Keys to Healing
From Trauma to Joy
Powerful healing & guidance for overcoming pain, anxiety and depression,
and discovering your true power to create the happy life you so deserve!
Using the 5 Keys to Healing and the energetic basic principles, I teach you how to work
with your energy in such a way that you can transform your pain into strength,
and truly manifest the life of your dreams!
Your body is your 'vehicle' in this life. It moves you to where you want to go and from. In order to function well, it needs to be nourished and lovingly cared for on the inside and outside. Healthy food and drink, both sufficient exercise and rest, so effort and relaxation. In your body you feel your life energy, your emotions, sensations, and your sensuality and sexuality. Your body stores tension, stress and trauma. That is why caring for your body is also about connecting with your body, allowing your emotions and consciously letting go of tension.
Everything is energy. Your thoughts too. Your thoughts and inner dialogue have to do with your core beliefs. These are ideas or programmings, for example from our childhood. Most thoughts go back to basic beliefs such as: " I am (not) good enough. There is (not) enough. It is (not) safe. It will (not) be okay "
Positive beliefs lead to positive thoughts and pleasant emotions, and this high-vibe energy is necessary for health of body, mind & soul. Negative thoughts create stress and negative emotions and are harmful to your overall health and well-being.
Do you know who you are beyond your story? What deep dreams and desires do you have, that you never really put into action ?
Are you living on autopilot, within familiar but limiting frameworks, that keep to feeling trapped and powerless?
Living more from your heart and soul is about knowing that you are so more than your story so far. You have a greater potential, which allows you to create your life more consciously. Soul invites you to push your boundaries, to step outside your comfort zone, to really start living the free and abundant life of your dreams!
Nature is not just a place we can go to. Nature is in everything and everyone. You are part of nature too.
Living more in tune with nature is about spending more time in nature, which contributes very positively to our overall mental and physical health. In addition, you can think of eating healthier and more naturally, and using natural resources and remedies. But moreover it is about living in harmony with the natural rhythms and being more in balance with your own natural biorhythms. Connecting to Nature's intelligence will help you to not just 'get by', but to thrive in all areas of your life!
The quality of your connections with others are largely determined by the connection you have with yourself. How well do you take care of yourself? What exactly are self-love and self-care about? With this key, we look at everything that has to do with your relationships and connections. We humans are 'wired' for connection. We need healthy relationships. Trauma and fear can cause you to lose connection with yourself and with others. Healing from this is about letting go of toxic patterns and relationships, and learning to become more balanced within yourself and therefore also be able to have healthier relationships with others.

Today, an estimated 40 million Americans have tattoos and nearly half of them regret their initial choice. The history of tattoos and body markings is extensive. The earliest known tattoos on the human body date back to 2000 B.C. In 1991, the discovery of the “Iceman” from the Italian-Austrian area has what seems to be tattoo patterns, suggesting that tattoos have been around for over 5,200 years! Tattoos and skin art have been used to exemplify declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, social status, and even used as forms of punishment. We understand that unwanted and embarrassing tattoos may be causing you unnecessary stress and anxiety and we have the tools and latest treatments to help you.
During the initial consultation with one of our dermatologists, you will have a discussion about which mode of removal best suits your particular tattoo and comfort level. You will be asked to give a complete medical history, including the use of any medications, drugs, alcohol, or medical conditions that may affect how the skin heals. Your tattoo may be examined for size, color, and location. This information will allow our doctors to estimate how many treatments it will take to remove the tattoo and what type of results to expect. Most tattoos are removed in two to six treatments. In addition, you will have the opportunity to ask our doctors any questions and express any concerns that you may have.
As mentioned above, the ink in a tattoo absorbs light from a laser and fragments. Dark colors, such as black and dark blue are most easily removed as they absorb the most light, similar to wearing black clothing on a hot summer day. Light colored tattoo ink such as yellow and violet may be more difficult to remove. In addition, the removal of tattoos by a professional artist that uses higher quality ink, may call for eight to twelve treatments or more, while a tattoo created by an amateur artist may be removed in less treatments.Alternative methods of tattoo removal include excision (cutting out the tattoo)or chemical abrasion or dermabrasion.
Lasers have been used to remove tattoos since the late 1980’s. However, the procedure has only recently been perfected. Lasers emit a concentrated beam of light. Our dermatologists adjust the laser for each individuals skin tone and the color of the tattoo ink. The beam of light from the laser will disrupt the ink and break the ink down into small fragments. Some of the ink may flake off the surface of the body, while most will fall into the blood stream. The body’s immune system will remove the fragments of ink, leaving a tattoo-free surface and minimal scarring.
Laser removal is considered the best method for tattoo removal as lasers are extremely efficient and precise, minimizing the risk to surrounding skin. Our doctors can vary the laser’s wavelengths and pulse durations catering to different colored tattoos and various skin tones. During the treatment, our doctors may use a a combination of lasers to suit your particular needs in order to achieve the best possible results. The procedure can last from 5 to 45 minutes depending on the size and color of the tattoo(s). The feeling of the laser on the skin has been described by patients as a rubber band snapping on the skin or “no worse than getting the tattoo itself!” Our doctors take great care to ensure your comfort, so before treatment they may numb the area with a topical anesthetic cream.
Depending on the tattoo size, color, and which laser is utilized, the treated area may turn white and swell immediately following treatment. Pinpoint bleeding may also occur, but usually heals usually within seven to ten days. It is unusual to remove a tattoo without it resulting in some skin changes.As mentioned earlier, different skin tones and ink colors absorb different light wavelengths. In an effort to maximize results, our offices utilize a variety of lasers including Q-switched lasers, Ruby, Nd: YAG, Alexandrite as well as others.
