Veterinary questions? Ask a Vet for Answers ASAP
Hello, you are through to Dr Linda, a UK based vet with 10 years of clinical experience working out of West London. It will be my pleasure to help you today.
I'm sorry to hear to this and understand your concern for Squeak.
Was she always like this to some extent or is this an unexpected personality change?
Does she live with other pets?
Thank you, understood.
And the other guinea pig is acting as normal?
Has anything changed in their routine or environment?
Before typing my reply, is there anything else I should know?
Please bear with me as I type my reply.
I'm sorry Squeak has been acting this way and know it will be concerning and upsetting for you.
In some instances, it is a case of a 'personality type' or limited socialisation when they were younger. It can also be secondary to heightened anxiety levels, perhaps caused by wildlife nearby or unseen bullying by the other guinea pig.
It is not uncommon in cases like this, for there to be an underlying medical issue. Subtle issues such as spurs on the back teeth, bladder stones and joint pain could all be to blame.
A vet check is sensible so we can check her all over and rule out a medical problem.
In the meantime, I'd minimise any handling as it will only serve to increase her stress levels and the more we ignore her body language and warnings, the more she will react when she sees us coming.

Cannons roared and townspeople cheered when they saw this horrific trophy -- and the indisputable proof of the famous brigand's demise -- sailing up the river toward the King Street docks.
But for nine of the crewmen who fought alongside him — plus six other accomplices seized with his loot in Bath, N.C. — the sounds of the port city's celebration merely signaled the opening of a new and — for some, at least — ultimately fatal chapter.
According to the log of HMS Pearl — whose sailors played a critical role in the Nov. 22, 1718 sea battle that killed Blackbeard near Ocracoke, N.C. — two condemned pirates were taken from the ship on Jan. 28, 1719 and hanged on the Hampton waterfront.
The remains of one may have been found in the mid-1980s, when archaeologists exploring the shoreline near what is now the Crowne Plaza hotel uncovered the partial skeleton of an early-18th-century male who had been been buried in a ritual fashion.
Laid face down between the low- and high-water marks at what was then known as Customhouse Point, the orientation of the remains reflected a common practice designed to damn or at least insult the spirits of supposedly "soul-less" buccaneers by denying them a conventional Christian interment.
"It's exactly how they buried the pirates hanged in Charlestown the year before," says N.C. historian Kevin P. Duffus, author of "The Last Days of Blackbeard the Pirate."
"The evidence suggests that these are the remains of a pirate -- and possibly one from Blackbeard's crew," adds Hampton History Museum curator J. Michael Cobb, who oversees the collection in which the skeleton has been both preserved and recreated as part on an archaeological exhibit.
Taken to Williamsburg to stand trial, the remaining members of Blackbeard's crew were held in the 1704 public "gaol" on Nicholson Street just north of the Capitol. At least some faced an admiralty court on March 12, when — according to the most cited source — one was acquitted, one pardoned and the rest sentenced to hang.
No direct records of that trial or the execution survive. But in 1992 archaeologists from the College of William and Mary discovered the remains of a large, triangular gallows one mile from the gaol and just yards from Capitol Landing Road -- which then was known as Gallows Road.
With its distinctive shape, the early 1700s scaffold was modeled after the infamous "Triple Tree" gallows at Tyburn, London, archaeologist Joe B. Jones says. And with each leg measuring 11 feet long, it also boasted the size needed to carry out a mass hanging.
"This was designed to handle more than one person at a time," Jones says.
"And it was big enough to allow the simultaneous execution of the 13 members of Blackbeard's crew."
If the sentence was carried out as many historians believe, the site was an easily accessible and highly visible location.
Dense scatters of early 1700s artifacts have been found around the postholes from which the gallows rose, including coins suggesting that some onlookers placed bets on the death throes of the condemned.
"In London, people turned out in large crowds for the execution of notorious criminals," says Tom Hay, site supervisor of the courthouse and Capitol in Colonial Williamsburg.
"And it's overwhelmingly likely that it happened here for the execution of Blackbeard's crew."
Still, in Bath, N.C. — where Blackbeard and some of his crew lived for part of 1718 — surviving property and court records suggest that four of the men were still alive long after they were reported hanged in Virginia, Duffus says.
Lt. Gov. Alexander Spotswood's discussion of pirate testimony in a letter dated before the March 12 trial suggests that some previous but now undocumented legal proceeding took place — perhaps one that invoked a December 1718 royal pardon offering amnesty to repentant pirates.
Duffus believes only six members of the pirate crew died on the gallows because of what was then known as the "king's mercy". He also thinks all six hangings were carried out in Hampton rather than Williamsburg because of the port town's prominence in trade and its location on the water.
Likely hung in chains after their deaths, the remains of the pirates may have been displayed as a grisly warning to others.
And the ritual burial discovered in the 1980s may have been only one of a half-dozen that may have taken place after their bodies were taken down.
Blackbeard's head is said to have been mounted on a pike and placed on the banks of the Hampton River for the same reason.
"Plenty of people have written about it. It was the sort of the thing that would have been done — and we have pretty good evidence from the piece of land that's always been called 'Blackbeard's Point,'" Cobb says.
"But whether it actually happened is a whole other matter — because there's no mention of it in the log of the Pearl."

Psychology is the scientific study of human mind and behaviour. Psychology aims to understand the behaviour of others and gather information about the way brain works in order to better serve humanity. Psychology seeks to understand and explain how people think act and feel. Psychologists strive to learn more about the factors that impact thoughts and behaviour ranging across biological, personal, emotional, vocational and social pressures. Studying psychology equip students to use their knowledge of human behaviour in their daily lives. Developing the ability to communicate better, manage emotions, improve inter and intra personal relationship, adapt oneself to changing situation and enhance cognitive abilities and excellent research and analytical skills are a few benefits of studying psychology in the undergraduate program.

The war in Ukraine is leading to a massive influx of qualified workers to Austria. Many domestic companies therefore are interested in hiring refugees from Ukraine. What has to be considered, when doing so?
Basic regulation on refugees and asylum seekers:
- Asylum seekers
Asylum seekers are persons whose asylum procedure has not yet been completed. In general, they cannot be employed. The only possibilities are employment as a seasonal worker, if a work permit is granted, or a volunteer position.
- Recognized refugees
Recognized refugees are persons whose asylum procedure has been completed with a positive administrative decision. They have free access to the Austrian labor market thus the same regulations as for Austrian citizens are applicable. Initiatives for the placement of recognized refugees can be found, among others, at the AMS (Austrian Public Employment Service).
The same status is granted to “beneficiaries of subsidiary protection.” They have not been granted the right to asylum, but have nevertheless been granted a right of residence due to other reasons of protection (e.g. imminent torture or threat to life in the country of origin).
Special regulation for refugees from Ukraine:
The Austrian legislature reacted quickly to the conflict in Ukraine and the resulting emergency situation. Therefore, it enacted the Regulation on Displaced Persons (Vertriebenen-Verordnung) on the 11th of March, 2022.
The Regulation on Displaced Persons stipulates that citizens of Ukraine are granted a temporary right of residence in Austria and can therefore also be employed and hired in Austria. This right of residence lasts at the least until the 3rd of March, 2023 and is automatically extended by 6 months unless otherwise decreed. It applies to the following people:
- Citizens of Ukraine and their family members (spouse, minor children, close relatives in the same household).
- Other persons who had been granted international protection status in Ukraine
- Citizens of Ukraine who were already residing in Austria before the beginning of the war
Since the 25th of March 2022 these persons can obtain the “ID card for displaced persons”. It is a valid identity and travel document throughout the whole Schengen area. It is sent to the persons concerned after registration at a police station or registration center. The ID card for displaced persons grants all refugees from Ukraine swift access to the Austrian labor market.
If a company wants to hire refugees from Ukraine, it has to send the application for employment permit for displaced persons, with a copy of the ID card to the AMS. In a simplified procedure, the employment permit will then be issued as quickly as possible.
It should be noted that according to section 4 para 1 item 7 Law on the Employment of Foreign Nationals (AuslBG) personnel service providers are not allowed to employ Ukrainian refugees. In these cases, no employment permit will be issued, which thus precludes any personnel leasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It is understanding that each individual is unique, and our individual differences need to be recognized. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical/mental ability, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.
Inclusion promotes broad engagement, shared participation and advances authentic sense of belonging through safe, positive, and nurturing environments. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to accepting and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual. Inclusion is key to eliminating systemic inequality.
Equity is the proportional distribution of desirable outcomes across groups. Sometimes confused with equality, equity refers to outcomes while equality connotes equal treatment. Where individuals or groups are dissimilarly situated, equal treatment may be insufficient for, or even detrimental to, equitable outcomes.
EQUITY = parity in outcomes. It is the proportional representation of
historically marginalized groups in outcomes
Equity-mindedness refers to "the mode of thinking exhibited by practitioners who are willing to assess their own racialized assumptions, to acknowledge their lack of knowledge in the history if race and racism, to take responsibility for the success of historically underserved and underrepresented student groups, and to critically assess racialization in their own practices as educators and/or administrators". (McNair et al., 2020)
Deficit thinking or deficit-minded language often places the responsibility for “deficits” on the group in question. “If institutional leaders and practitioners use deficit-minded language when discussing equity challenges, access to data will do no good for advancing equity because such language communicates the expectation that students are expected to create equity for themselves.” (McNair et al., 2020) | <urn:uuid:517af7a1-38e0-4da7-a5ff-66fe1c90c8b8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mnsu.edu/university-life/diversity-equity-inclusion/equity-2030/faqs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.907929 | 370 | 3.953125 | 4 |

ABOARD THE USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH (AP) -- The Navy successfully landed a drone the size of a fighter jet aboard an aircraft carrier for the first time Wednesday, showcasing the military's capability to have a computer program perform one of the most difficult tasks that a pilot is asked to do.
The landing of the X-47B experimental aircraft means the Navy can move forward with its plans to develop another unmanned aircraft that will join the fleet alongside traditional airplanes to provide around-the-clock surveillance while also possessing a strike capability. It also would pave the way for the U.S. to launch unmanned aircraft without the need to obtain permission from other countries to use their bases.
"It is not often that you get a chance to see the future, but that's what we got to do today. This is an amazing day for aviation in general and for naval aviation in particular," Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said after watching the landing.
The X-47B experimental aircraft took off from Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland before approaching the USS George H.W. Bush, which was operating about 70 miles off the coast of Virginia. The tail-less drone landed by deploying a hook that caught a wire aboard the ship and brought it to a quick stop, just like normal fighter jets do. The maneuver is known as an arrested landing and had previously only been done by the drone on land at Patuxent River. Landing on a ship that is constantly moving while navigating through turbulent air behind the aircraft carrier is seen as a more difficult maneuver, even on a clear day with low winds like Wednesday.
Rear Adm. Mat Winter, the Navy's program executive officer for unmanned aviation and strike weapons, said everything about the flight -- including where on the flight deck the plane would first touch and how many feet its hook would bounce -- appeared to go exactly as planned.
"This is a historic day. This is a banner day. This is a red-flag letter day," Winter said. "You can call it what you want, but the fact of the matter is that you just observed history -- history that your great-grandchildren, my great grandchildren, everybody's great grandchildren are going to be reading in our history books."
Less than an hour after that first landing, the jet took off from the carrier and then landed again. On its third and last-planned landing attempt, the Navy said, the jet self-detected a navigation computer anomaly. Instead of landing on the carrier, it flew to Wallops Island Air Field on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The Navy says the plane landed safely there.
The Navy will do some additional tests and analysis on the jet, and possibly some more landings in the next few days if the carrier's schedule allows for it, but the first landing was the last major benchmark for the program to hit.
The X-47B will never be put into operational use, but it will help Navy officials develop future carrier-based drones. Those drones could begin operating by 2020, according to Winter. Four companies are expected to compete for a contract to design the future unmanned aircraft, which will be awarded in fiscal year 2014.
The two experimental aircraft that have been built for the first round of testing will be retired and placed in museums at Patuxent River and at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida.
The move to expand the capabilities of the nation's drones comes amid growing criticism of America's use of Predators and Reapers to gather intelligence and carry out lethal missile attacks against terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.
Critics in the U.S. and abroad have charged that drone strikes cause widespread civilian deaths and are conducted with inadequate oversight. Still, defense analysts say drones are the future of warfare.
The X-47B is far bigger than the Predator, has three times the range and can be programmed to carry out missions with no human intervention, the Navy said.
While the X-47B isn't a stealth aircraft, it was designed with the low profile of one. That will help in the development of future stealth drones, which would be valuable as the military changes its focus from the Middle East to the Pacific, where a number of countries' air defenses are a lot stronger than Afghanistan's.
The X-47B has a wingspan of about 62 feet and weighs 14,000 pounds, versus nearly 49 feet and about 1,100 pounds for the Predator.
While Predators are typically piloted via remote control by someone in the U.S., the X-47B relies only on computer programs to tell it where to fly unless a human operator needs to step in. The Navy says the aircraft relies on precision GPS navigation, a high-integrity network connection and advanced flight control software to guide itself.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert called the first landing a "miraculous technological feat."
Developed by Northrop Grumman under a 2007 contract at a cost of $1.4 billion, the X-47B is capable of carrying weapons and is designed to be the forerunner for a drone program that will provide around-the-clock intelligence, surveillance and targeting, according to the Navy, which has been giving updates on the project over the past few years.
The X-47B can reach an altitude of more than 40,000 feet and has a range of more than 2,100 nautical miles, versus 675 for the Predator. The Navy plans to show the drone can be refueled in flight, which would give it even greater range.
"It gives us persistence. It gives us the ability to do things that we can't today because of the limitations on the human body in terms of endurance, in terms of distance, in terms of just how long you can stay on station or do the things like refueling," Mabus said. "We're not sending this message to any particular country. This is for us. This is to make sure that we keep the technological edge."

Are you confident about the security of your Wi-Fi network? This question might not have even crossed the minds of some business owners, whose only concern might be how fast or slow their Internet connection is. Unfortunately, even small and medium-sized enterprises business owners have to pay close attention to their network security. That’s because cybercriminals are targeting SMEs. You must have peace of mind and assurance that you can keep confidential data safe and that your customers can trust you. For this, you can get professional IT services in St. Paul to help.
Here are some IT support services and other steps that you can do to secure your Wi-Fi network and business data:
1.Find a Secure Location for Your Router
Before you go all techie when it comes to securing your Wi-Fi network, you might want to start easy by choosing the right location for your Wi-Fi router. Put it somewhere safe, such as a locked office, far from the windows. Instead, install it at the center of the office to keep the Wi-Fi signal within the premises. Cybercriminals can easily intercept wireless signals that travel far from the office. You can do this even without help from professional IT support services.
2.Change the Wi-Fi Network Name
The default name of your network can tell anyone who sees it the exact model and make of your router. Hackers can use these details to search for documentation that might be their gateway to your network. If you’re planning on hiring IT services in St. Paul, you can let them do this for you for your protection.
3.Change Router Login Details Frequently
Your first layer of network protection is a strong password and your commitment to change it frequently. Instead of sticking to the default “admin,” make an effort to think of a hard-to-guess password. Managed IT services providers will tell you as much. The password should be 15 characters long and a combination of numbers, letters, and special characters. As with any security measures, you shouldn’t waste the protection you’ll get from IT support services by giving the password only to employees who need it for work. Make sure to change the login details at least every quarter or if an employee resigns from the company.
4.Activate More Firewalls
Wi-Fi routers usually have a built-in firewall for your internal network security that fends off outside attacks. However, you might need to activate it. If you cannot figure it out, you can expect firewall activation to be a part of your IT services in St. Paul. Boost that firewall protection by installing yet another firewall on your computer.
5.Use the Latest Software and Firmware
If you have managed IT services providers securing your network for you, they will likely check for firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router regularly. It is also up to them to patch your network regularly to address specific vulnerabilities. Fortunately, you can set software updates to self-install so it will be less of a hassle for you or your IT support services provider.
6.Encrypt Your Network
This is among the most critical steps that you should do to ensure your security, or you can let professional IT services in St. Paul do it for you. You will have to choose from WPA, WPA2, and WEP, although the WEP is the go-to default password for routers and the easiest to crack. You can expect more security from WPA2, but your router, like many others, might only be compatible with WPA. Managed IT services providers can do this for you.
Setting up a secure network and paying for IT services in St. Paul is cheaper than saving your business after a malware attack and data breach. It is undoubtedly much better than losing your customers’ trust and paying hefty financial fines for the breach. And if all this talk about network security is stressing you out, you can let managed IT services professionals take over. They have the IT infrastructure and knowledge to help you out while you focus on what you do best – your business.
Network Medics offers network security that protects your data and your reputation. Our managed IT services include managing our clients’ network security, 24/7 monitoring, installing anti-malware and anti-virus software, updating firewall settings, and other security solutions. We can help keep cybercriminals from stealing confidential data and let you direct your full attention to managing your business.

Marx as a Migrant – A digital narrative
Karl Marx lived a long life as a migrant. Fleeing from the Prussian state, censorship and possible arrest, important stops on his journey were Paris, Brussels and London. These cities shaped his political activities, his engagement with political fellow-travellers, as well as his intellectual development and thus his entire work.
At the click of a mouse, you can follow Marx as a migrant from city to city. You can not only immerse yourself in his time, but also discover that even today, traces of his life and work continue to be seen in Paris, Brussels and London.
Each station takes about 45 minutes.
- The Proletariat
Paris, February 1844
The German-French Yearbooks (Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher) are published for the first and only time – a double issue without any French contributions.
But with Heinrich Heine, whose contribution Hymn of Praise to King Ludwig cuttingly mocks the Bavarian ruler Ludwig I, at least one author of international standing is represented.
Karl Marx’s essays “On The Jewish Question” and “Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right” are also published in this issue. | <urn:uuid:1609c429-4825-4d4f-a1fc-242e58cdb6bf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://marx200.org/en/marx-als-migrant?page=26 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.956962 | 279 | 2.8125 | 3 |

Kim Jocelyn Dickson (author of The Invisible Toolbox) ponders the idea of putting kids in front of electronic devices.
CoComelon is No Substitute for Reading to a Child on Your Lap
Last month Forbes reported that CoComelon, the animated nursery rhyme-themed channel aimed at children under 4, was the #1 show on Netflix in 2020.
According to the article, “There hasn’t ever been a hit like CoComelon on the world’s most popular streaming service…”
Think of that—CoComelon beat out The Queen’s Gambit, Bridgerton, and Cobra Kai, among other titles that helped the world survive a year of lockdown.
Apparently, CoComelon provided a breather for parents of preschoolers during the pandemic too. Common Sense Media describes the series as “music videos that are appropriate for the very youngest of viewers, and touch on typical preschool themes.” I’ll leave it to you to explore the reviews that add up to just 3 out of 5 stars.
What I can do, though, is sympathize with parents who reach out to distractions like this. I can well understand how tempting it must be for a harried parent to park an infant or toddler in front of a screen for this ‘age-appropriate’ entertainment.
We all know that some days parenting young children are simply about survival—but relying on screen entertainment like CoComelon has consequences that parents need to be aware of.
Watching animated nursery rhymes on a screen is no substitute for reading to a child on your lap.
What Brain Research Tells Us About Screens vs. Reading
Dr. John Hutton, pediatrician and director of the Reading and Literacy Discovery Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and his team have studied the neurological effects of screens and reading on preschoolers. Findings show that the brains of children with less screen time had better-developed white matter tracts, the pathways involving language and executive functions, hence these children also had “higher language, executive and composite early literacy skills.”
According to Hutton, children placed in front of screens lose out on nurturing experiences, and this deficit explains the lag in brain development.
Human beings are wired to connect. From the cradle to the grave, the evidence is in that the deepest human desire, after life itself, is the longing to connect…The blueprint for connection is written in our cells from the very beginning, and our understanding of this has enormous implications for the way we parent.Kim Jocelyn Dickson: “Build it With Love,” The Invisible Toolbox: The Power of Reading to Your Child from Birth to Adolescence
The toolbox of pre-literacy skills that we build for our child when we sit down and read with them is grounded in this connection. Love and nurturing is what builds the critical brain framework that every child needs in order to thrive. Screens simply cannot provide this.
Sharing nursery rhymes is important—and highly recommended for developing essential pre-literacy skills. But the way we do so matters.
Practical Take-aways for Parents
- Begin reading to your infant as soon as you bring them home, and do so daily. Cuddle, read expressively, engage interactively as your child is able, and have fun!
- Introduce screens only once you’ve established this lovely connection through daily reading. Limit the time. Ideally, watch with them.
- Continue reading to your child daily as long as you can. You’ll nurture your connection, create precious memories, and fill their ‘invisible toolbox’ with all the pre-literacy tools they need to be ready for school.
So, the next time you’re exhausted and tempted to park your little one in front of a screen, grab a book instead, sink into a comfortable chair with them, and enjoy the wordplay and silliness of those ancient nursery rhymes together—on the page.
The Power of Reading to Your Child from Birth to Adolescence
Longtime elementary school teacher Kim Jocelyn Dickson believes every child begins kindergarten with a lunchbox in one hand and an “invisible toolbox” in the other. In The Invisible Toolbox, Kim shares with parents the single most important thing they can do to foster their child’s future learning potential and nurture the parent-child bond that is the foundation for a child’s motivation to learn. She is convinced that the simple act of reading aloud has a far-reaching impact that few of us fully understand and that our recent, nearly universal saturation in technology has further clouded its importance. | <urn:uuid:f33cf84c-8814-4b9e-8124-196443f00bcb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mangopublishinggroup.com/what-preschool-parents-need-to-know-about-netflixs-1-show/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.938143 | 983 | 2.5625 | 3 |

We recently developed XenLoop -- a transparent inter-VM
network loopback mechanism. XenLoop allows unmodified
network applications to bypass the standard
network data path via Dom0 when talking with
other guest VMs on the same machine.
We'd very much like to hear usage feedback and
suggestions from others interested in this work.
XenLoop code and documentation is available here:
XenLoop differs from earlier approaches (such as
XenSockets, IVC, and XWay) as follows:
- No changes, such as recompiling or relinking,
are needed to the user applications or libraries.
- XenLoop doesn't modify any part of the core kernel code
- XenLoop transparently adapts to migration without
disrupting any ongoing network communication and
without user or application intervention.
- Being implemented between the network and data-link
layers (using netfilter hook), XenLoop can currently
handle all IPv4 traffic, and likely others in near future.
- On the flip side, XenLoop presently incurs the TCP/IP
protocol processing cost in each guest, which other
approaches can avoid to obtain higher throughput
while trading off some application-level or kernel-level
We still observe quite a decent improvement in
inter-VM communication performance on dual-core
machines when compared to the Dom0 data path -- up to
5X reduction in RTT and up to 6X increase in throughput.
We've tested XenLoop on Xen 3.1 and Linux 2.6.18.
Next steps are to try it on Xen 3.2 and to possibly
move traffic interception higher up the protocol stack.

BENGALURU : Smartphone use is developing exponentially. A large portion of the populace is beneath the age of 25. Furthermore, a consuming desire for training to improve expectations for everyday comforts cuts across shifted strata of society. This proposes an enormous open door for edtech to connect gigantic holes in customary instruction in India. It seems, by all accounts, to be going on when you take a gander at rising interests in edtech new companies, with $1.17 billion put resources into the most recent two years, contrasted with $540 million in the past three years, as indicated by investment information tracker Tracxn.
However, that conceals a slant. India’s sole edtech unicorn Byju’s pigs the lion’s offer with $1.27 billion in absolute financing. Out of the $729 million put resources into edtech new companies in India in 2018, $540 million went to Byju’s. A year ago Byju’s offer was $185 million out of $442 million. What it implies is there’s negligible financing for a more extensive scope of edtech.
Intensifying that is edtech’s attention on students in the metros and state capitals, where installment frameworks, web data transfer capacity, and recognition with online items are all around grew, aside from clients having the option to manage the cost of moderately high ticket sizes.
Notwithstanding, this forgets about the mass of students, who are additionally underserved by government spending which was 3% of the GDP in the last spending plan contrasted with twice as much in created nations.
China and India represent 30% of the world’s students, however China gets seven fold the amount of as India in edtech speculation, as indicated by training market knowledge firm HolonIQ. It is extending the hole in human asset potential between the two nations which will have falling impacts.
Just the valiant have wandered into level 2+ towns in India with edtech, building a base in territories where the large players aren’t dynamic. They face extreme difficulties, which they’re attempting to defeat with a blend of ad lib and tech.
Testbook, which gives test prep to in excess of 100 focal and state government work tests, is one model.
“66% of the one crore individuals who show up for these tests are from communities, and just 1-2% make it,” says Ashutosh Kumar, fellow benefactor and CEO of Testbook. Established by five IIT Bombay graduated class six years prior, the startup brought $8.3 million up in arrangement B financing a month ago.
The achievement pace of Testbook clients is 7%. Kumar himself hails from a community in Bihar: Madhubani. He went to Kota, celebrated for its IIT-JEE private academies, and got into IIT Bombay. He did B.Tech and M.Tech in metallurgical designing, however had an enthusiasm for instructing as an afterthought in IIT-JEE coaching schools.
To conquer the hesitance to utilize computerized installments in a transcendently money based economy, the startup has thought of a voucher framework. Clients can go to kirana stores to purchase vouchers with codes for enrollment. It likewise bands together with nearby instructional exercise communities to arrive at clients just as give them disconnected contact focuses.
There are additionally tech workarounds for inconsistent web.
An understudy stepping through a counterfeit examination, for instance, would be associated with a remote server just toward the beginning and finish.
The application stores the substance on the client’s gadget for most of the test to be managed without rehashed application programming interface (API) calls to the server.

Study of number and size of air-gaps in core of shunt reactors in tranmission lines of high and supper high voltages34 views
Keywords:Cuộn kháng bù ngang, Phương pháp giải tích, Phương pháp phần tử hữu hạn, Số lượng khe hở, Kích thước khe hở, Điện cảm
The air-gaps are designed on the core of shunt reactors to increase the reluctance of the magnetic circuit, to increase the stored energy and to obtain the required reactive power. The volume of the air-gaps depends on the capacity of the shunt reactors. In fact, the more reactive power the shunt reactor has, the more volume and length of the air-gap the shunt reactor needs. However, the leakage flux appearing around the air-gap will directly affect to the inductance parameters and the reactive power of the shunt reactor. For a large air-gap, the leakage flux appearing around the air-gap will have a large radius and will loop into the winding, resulting in a large total inductance. Therefore, dividing a large length air-gap into smaller air-gaps distributed on the core will reduce the total inductance value. The number of the air-gaps to be splitted depends on the capacity of the shunt reactor and the mains voltage. In this paper, the authors combine the analytical method based on the theory of magnetic circuit model to determine the main parameters of the shunt reactor, then the finite element method is used to determine the number of the air-gaps and the appropriate air-gaps size on the core of the shunt reactors.

Water is an essential element of life, but many people around the world don’t have access to clean drinkable water.
Researchers are working to change that—last year we reported on a student who used his ceramics knowledge to help citizens in Uganda develop a ceramic filtration method to purify water.
Ceramics were also front and center in a research collaboration that developed a ceramic sponge offering possibilities for water filtration applications.
But these kinds of ceramics aren’t the only materials and methods researchers are experimenting with for water purification.
Scientists have already succeeded in purifying water with carbon nanotubes. And, in other research, scientists are actually harnessing the power of the sun in a membrane distillation process to purify water.
Now, researchers have created a novel water purification process using the sun’s energy and carbon-coated paper. In a collaboration between the University of Buffalo, Fudan University (China), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, scientists have developed a process that uses sunlight to produce clean water with a little help from our friend, carbon.
“Our technique is able to produce drinking water at a faster pace than is theoretically calculated under natural sunlight,” lead researcher Qiaoqiang Gan, associate professor of electrical engineering in the University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, explains in a university news release.
The team’s device consists of paper dipped in carbon and draped into an inverted “V” shape over a container of water, similar in shape to the roof of a birdhouse. The bottom of the paper soaks up water, while the carbon coating absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into heat for evaporation, according to a description in the release.

The method is essentially an updated version of traditional solar stills that use solar energy to evaporate water. Mine owners in Chile were using solar stills to distill water to provide clean drinking water for their workers as early as the 19thcentury. Gan says the team’s device can achieve a higher efficiency because it draws heat in.
What makes the scientists’ method successful is that they improved the inefficient vaporization process of solar stills, where the inverted V shape of carbon-coated paper enables heat to be drawn in from the immediate environment while staying at room temperature.
“Usually, when solar energy is used to evaporate water, some of the energy is wasted as heat is lost to the surrounding environment,” he says in the release. “This makes the process less than 100% efficient. Our system has a way of drawing heat in from the surrounding environment, allowing us to achieve near-perfect efficiency.”
Not only is the method low-cost and close to 100% efficient, it could provide purified water for third-world countries needing access to clean water or for areas cut off from water sources due to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods.
UB electrical engineering Ph.D. graduate and coauthor of the paper Haomin Song says the method could eventually be scalable for those types of situations. “We have a strategy to boost daily performance,” Song says. “With a solar still the size of a mini fridge, we estimate that we can generate 10 to 20 liters of clean water every single day.”
In fact, the team’s startup, Sunny Clean Water, is a first step toward that effort.
The open-access paper, published in Advanced Science, is “Cold vapor generation beyond the input solar energy limit” (DOI: 10.1002/advs.201800222).

How to read a Korean novel
Reading a Korean novel can be a daunting task for those not familiar with the language. However, with the help of a few tricks, it is possible to get through even the most difficult passages. Here are four tips for reading a Korean novel:
1. Start with the beginning. Most Korean novels are divided into volumes, and each volume contains a number of chapters. This means that if you want to read a particular section, you should start by reading the first chapter of that section in the novel. This will give you a good overview of what is going on and make it easier to follow the plot when you start reading more difficult sections.
2. Use context clues. When you’re trying to understand what is happening in a Korean novel, you don’t need to focus exclusively on the dialogue or specific words. Context clues can provide you with additional information about what is being said. For example, if someone mentions their hometown, you can assume that they are talking about their home country – even if they say something else during the conversation.
3. Use pinyin when necessary. Pinyin is an alternative alphabet that is used to write Chinese characters in Korea. If you encounter a 한글 word that you don’t know how to pronunciate, you can use pinyin to transliterate the word into English. For example, if you see the word “jiu,” you would say “yoo.”
4. Use a dictionary. If none of the tips mentioned above are able to provide you with enough information to understand what is happening in a Korean novel, it might be helpful to consult a dictionary. This will give you a better understanding of the words used in the text and help you figure out which words are related to one another.
The Different Styles of Writing in a Korean Novel
When you open up a Korean novel, you’re in for a treat. The writing style is different than what you are used to reading. The sentences are long and flowing, and the author uses plenty of idioms and expressions. But despite all the quirks, there is one fundamental difference between Korean writing and writing in other languages: the use of present tense.
Korean novels are written in the present tense, even when the events taking place in the story take place in the past or future. This can be confusing at first, but it does make for an interesting reading experience. And since many Korean novels are based on historical events, this characteristic can be extremely helpful when it comes to understanding the context of the story.
But beyond simply providing information about the plot, present tense also has a more psychological impact on readers. By writing in present tense, authors create a sense of immediacy and urgency that can drive readers to keep turning pages. And while some people might find this style of writing difficult to get used to, others find it captivating and even addicting.
If you love reading novels but find yourself struggling to get into the genre because the language is so difficult, then I have some good news for you. There are now a number of Korean novels available in English translation, which make them much more accessible to readers across the globe. If you’re curious about what all the hype surrounding these books is about and want to give one a try, be sure to check out one of these translations before giving up on Korean literature altogether. | <urn:uuid:f79c168f-7602-4683-a0e3-b9758350adfa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.eunwe-movie.kr/the-reason-why-you-have-to-read-korean-novel/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.951876 | 1,573 | 2.109375 | 2 |

The Different Types Of Cbd: Isolate Vs Broad Spectrum Vs Full Spectrum
If CBD is the one cannabinoid and there are not any terpenes, then it will be an isolate. If there are other cannabinoids and terpenes however 0% THC, then it must be categorized as broad spectrum. Broad spectrum CBD products can be thought of as a variation of full spectrum with undetectable levels of THC primarily based on the manufacturer’s lab testing. But they do comprise multiple cannabinoids and terpenes along with CBD. So there can still be some advantages from the entourage impact.
What Is Isolate Cbd?
Broad spectrum CBD is the middle ground possibility between isolate and full spectrum CBD. It begins as a full spectrum oil, with the complete range of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes, however it then goes through a refinement course of to remove all THC compounds. Like Full Spectrum CBD, the other compounds found inside the plant are preserved within the extract; however, like CBD Isolate, THC is totally eliminated. I can communicate from my experience that usually talking, broad spectrum is ninety nine% as effective as full spectrum. Full spectrum merchandise at most comprise 0.three% THC which is a hint quantity.
What Is Broad Spectrum Cbd?
are not as pure as a CBD isolate or broad-spectrum CBD distillate. Full spectrum CBD incorporates all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant materials, including the naturally occurring small amount of THC in hemp.
What About Full Spectrum Cbd?
Terpenes alone have shown unimaginable potential for human health and shouldn’t be disregarded. The hottest of all of them in the intervening time is cannabidiol oil, or more generally generally known as CBD oil. With so many new and totally different CBD oil products out there, the choice of which one to go with could be difficult and complicated.
“Full Spectrum Vs. Isolate Cbd?” “Full Spectrum Vs. Broad Spectrum Cbd?” What’s Right For Me?
A product with undetectable levels of THC just isn’t true full spectrum. “True” hemp-derived full spectrum products contain all of the naturally-occurring cannabinoids and terpenes from the source hemp, and will embrace detectable ranges of THC as much as the zero.three% authorized restrict.
Full Spectrum Vs Broad Spectrum Vs Cbd Isolate
Those who’re topic to drug testing must be cautious in terms of full spectrum CBD merchandise which are taken internally. The THC present in full spectrum hemp-derived products is minimal. THC levels should be lower than 0.3% to be legally offered online or in local shops. But even these hint quantities can nonetheless set off a optimistic drug test.
The hashish plant contains hundreds of various phytochemicals including cannabinoids, terpenes, and different compounds. Full spectrum CBD or hemp oil usually refers to merchandise that not only contain CBD but contain the opposite plant molecules as nicely.

If you’re concerned about that, CBD isolate or broad spectrum is what you’re after. For most, broad spectrum CBD is your best option because it delivers the complete benefits of the Cannabis plant without the psychoactive results of THC. For others, a excessive-dosage of pure CBD isolate may be necessary, but others may be excited about full spectrum CBD as a result of advantages that only THC can present. Full spectrum CBD oil merchandise have the benefit of containing many various cannabinoids and terpenes and the potential for a wider health attain. A recent examine indicated the synergistic results of a full spectrum CBD oil had been superior to an isolate within the efficient remedy of inflammatory circumstances.
An important thing to notice at this point is that whereas full-spectrum CBD does contain THC molecules, extensively available CBD products are derived from hemp, which is naturally low in THC content. In fact, the authorized requirement for the hemp plant is to contain as much as zero.3% THC, and most full-spectrum CBD merchandise comprise lower than that. But notice that whereas the THC content material of hemp-derived CBD is not enough to get you high, it may potentially cause you to fail a drug check.
CBD oil that has had the THC removed is commonly marketed as broad spectrum CBD oil. It is the cannabinoid composition, ratio or the spectrum in any CBD product that determines whether or not it is a full spectrum CBD, broad-spectrum CBD, or a CBD isolate. All CBD merchandise out there in the market should belong to any one of the above compositions or spectrums.
These merchandise are not supposed to diagnose, stop, treat, or cure any illness. Click HERE and HERE to find evidence of a test, evaluation, research, or research describing the advantages, efficiency or efficacy of CBD Oil based on the experience of relevant professionals. These statements haven’t been evaluated by the FDA and usually are not intended to diagnose, deal with, or remedy any illness. Always verify along with your physician before beginning a new dietary complement program.
Along with CBD, a hemp-derived full spectrum CBD product will comprise hint quantities of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and other cannabinoids, each with its distinctive properties. The “cannabis spectrum” refers to this steadiness of cannabinoid concentrations, which influence the cannabis product’s profile. When particular cannabinoids are isolated from hemp or hashish, that is said to change the “symphony” of the elements that work collectively. This allows us to produce the cleanest and purest product out there on the market.
Taste is very sturdy and bitter because it still retains a lot of the plant lipids & compounds. Individuals profit from CBD Distillate by the therapeutic abilities of high CBD with the help of a Broad Spectrum of cannabinoids.
it undoubtedly is efficient, however not as efficient as full spectrum extract, which also has other cannabinoids, terpenes and different helpful compounds present in hemp. That can also be why we use full spectrum extracts in all of our products as a substitute of CBD Isolate.
Hemp undergoes numerous extraction processes, usually CO2 based, to create full spectrum hemp extract. This extract may be further refined into just CBD isolate, or into broad spectrum merchandise. In some instances, commercial broad spectrum products are also created by taking CBD isolate and mixing in small amounts of full spectrum to add the terpenes and additional cannabinoids back. Broad spectrum merchandise symbolize a center floor between full spectrum and CBD isolate. A true broad spectrum product is high in CBD, contains absolutely zero% THC, but retains some of the other cannabinoids, terpenes, and related probably beneficial compounds which an isolate does not.
As the recognition of CBD is rising, there is vast misinformation on CBD merchandise and the phrases used to describe them. Consumers should be conscious that low quality CBD isolate is usually added to MCT oil or hemp seed oil and offered as a “full spectrum oil”. Also, broad spectrum hemp oil has generally been used to describe a product that begins with a CBD isolate, and then different terpenes are added again in.
They can additionally be infused into a wide variety of products, meals, and drinks. Full Spectrum CBD Oil is made by CO2, RSO(Rick Simpson Oil) or butane Extraction(BHO) to create the first step of extraction (Thick dark brown oil which retains the most cannabinoids & lipids).
At this point, you’ll be able to determine the compounds within the product. Specialists can alter the method to satisfy the requirements of the particular CBD firm.
- This model of CBD oil is minimally refined, leaving many of the cannabinoids and terpenes intact and in the oil.
- The hashish plant accommodates hundreds of different phytochemicals together with cannabinoids, terpenes, and different compounds.
- Full spectrum CBD or hemp oil typically refers to merchandise that not only contain CBD but comprise the opposite plant molecules as nicely.
- Although that nearly each study, research and medical trial confirmed that full spectrum CBD merchandise provide a wider vary of benefits, people nonetheless have a tendency to choose CBD Isolate over full spectrum.
However, full spectrum merchandise should not be utilized by those who wish to keep away from THC for private or drug testing causes. It’s a standard misconception that every one CBD merchandise comprise the identical hemp-derived ingredients, but in reality there are three major types of CBD merchandise called spectrums.
A full spectrum product additionally includes other parts of the plant, together with terpenes (which affect the odor and flavor of the extract) and important oils. CBD isolate means that the product contains solely CBD (cannabidiol) and no different cannabis compounds. For isolates, purified CBD is extracted from the hemp plant and isolated from other naturally occurring cannabinoids. So ought to hemp-derived CBD merchandise be called “full spectrum CBD” or “whole hemp extract” when the THC is deliberately removed? Such a low quantity of THC (under zero,2%) shouldn’t trigger anxiousness in any respect.
When referring to CBD as full spectrum, people often have CBD Oil in their minds, which contains other cannabinoids apart from CBD. Because THC content is so low, there’s virtually no possibility that you’d really feel any psychotropic results that THC is known for. If you’re in search of the total spectrum of compounds derived from the hemp plant, but don’t want any THC, broad-spectrum CBD has you lined. It offers the best of hemp, including 544 distinctive healing plant chemicals without the THC. Although it’s rare, the THC in full-spectrum CBD merchandise may cause individuals to test positive on drug screenings.
Different illnesses may react in a different way a full spectrum CBD than to a CBD isolate. We recommend trying a wide range of merchandise and assessing how you are feeling. If you’re discovering your situation is not reacting considerably to a full spectrum oil then making an attempt an isolate could be the method to go, and vice versa.

Also due to the impartial taste and purity, it is becoming the preferred extract to vape & Dab. Very very like the cannabis industry, Distillate Oil has proven to give probably the most potent supply and consistency for a lot of merchandise. It’s onerous to know which one is greatest for you without making an attempt them each and see how you react.
The Cannabidiol (CBD) in Rosebud CBD is a pure constituent of commercial hemp plant and grown within the United States of America. Rosebud CBD doesn’t promote or distribute any products which are in violation of the United States Controlled Substances Act (US CSA). However, they may maintain the opposite cannabinoids within the formulation.
CBD Isolate, then again, shouldn’t include any other cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes (although terpenes are sometimes added to CBD Isolates). We can say that CBD Crystals are simply purified CBD that has been extracted from industrial hemp and isolated from other cannabinoids. Full spectrum CBD products contain all the naturally-occurring compounds in the hemp extract from the supply hemp plant. This features a full array of cannabinoids corresponding to CBD, CBG, CBN and THC in addition to terpenes, flavonoids and cannaflavins.
This would mean that full spectrum CBD is the most holistic strategy to consuming CBD. Read more about what is broad spectrum CBD and why we chose it. FDA DISCLOSURE Representations relating to the efficacy and safety of Rosebud CBD have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA only evaluates meals and drugs, not dietary supplements like these merchandise.
Even although full-spectrum contains at most a trace amount of THC, there are reviews of constructive drug checks from full spectrum CBD merchandise. The tiny quantity of THC gained’t make most customers ‘really feel high,’ however it could nonetheless take full advantage of the entourage effect.
This tiny, tiny quantity of THC is the only distinction between broad and full – which means they are NEARLY identical. If you’re after the benefits of CBD, then the presence of this tiny amount of a supporting cannabinoid gained’t have a serious impact. If you’re in search of THC advantages specifically, then still a full spectrum CBD product isn’t the right place to be wanting as it barely incorporates the cannabinoid in any respect. If you’ve heard of a powdered CBD, then you definitely’ve heard of CBD isolate. With this product, all different Cannabinoids have been eliminated, together with THC.
Just CBD Gummies are the most delicious way to relax!

They are full spectrum, broad spectrum or CBD isolate, named based on the hemp-based mostly compounds in the product. We consider that it’s always finest to consume entire plant merchandise as close to their natural unaltered state as attainable.
This version of CBD oil is minimally refined, leaving a lot of the cannabinoids and terpenes intact and in the oil. Like in CBD Isolate, the broad-spectrum extract is completely devoid of THC. Although that nearly every examine, analysis CBD Vape Pens and scientific trial confirmed that full spectrum CBD products offer a wider range of benefits, people nonetheless have a tendency to choose CBD Isolate over full spectrum.
For others, a high-dosage of pure CBD isolate might do the trick and others may need the benefits that only THC can present. This contains workplace screening and others who’re screened professionally for marijuana.
Some shoppers experience gentle adverse reactions to hemp-derived products, corresponding to nausea, extreme sleepiness, and moodiness. These signs are uncommon and more common amongst customers that take high doses. At the same time, some professionals imagine you will get extra CBD per dose, thus see improved results using an isolate. If you are subject to drug screenings for work or authorized causes, think about the CBD isolate or broad-spectrum oil to avoid a positive outcome for THC.
Thank you! ☺️

Full-Spectrum merchandise are the truest representation of the hemp plant. Typically, Full-Spectrum merchandise have a distinctly “planty” style. However, this may be masked utilizing other pure oils or by mixing them into drinks or smoothies. For some, Broad Spectrum CBD could also be the best choice because it delivers the complete benefits of the Cannabis plant with out the psychoactive effects of THC.
Just like with broad spectrum, the lab tests are unable to detect THC within the sample. That other 1% are the opposite Cannabinoids the extraction course of wasn’t capable of take away utterly. We believe that our prospects ought to have access to complete plant medication rather than a CBD Isolate, so our Rosebud CBD oil is manufactured from full spectrum hemp extract. The results of utilizing a CBD Isolate may not be as promising as those that go for a broad spectrum or full spectrum CBD oil. In a 2015 research, researchers found that, compared to CBD isolate, full spectrum CBD provides higher levels of relief.
Some folks still believe that THC has no medicinal value and that it produces only psychoactive effects, thus avoiding it. CBD Isolate can offer us one thing that full spectrum can’t – THC free product. Many folks still have doubts over THC but in such low amount, it is nearly inconceivable to supply “high”. Others favor to play it protected as a result of if even traces of THC are present in CBD products, there’s all the time a threat to fail the drug test.
With phrases like complete plant extract, full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate. This article will break down the distinction between two phrases you’ll generally see, full spectrum CBD oil and CBD oil isolate, to be able to help make your choices simpler. There are two major types of CBD on the market – Full Spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate.
Ultimately, cannabinoids are both added or removed from the oil before it’s used to provide CBD merchandise. Knowing the difference between isolate, broad spectrum and full spectrum CBD will assist you to make a more educated determination on which CBD merchandise will greatest fit your needs. As the name suggests, CBD isolates consist strictly of cannabidiol and nothing else. All different cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and all different plant-based mostly compounds are filtered and faraway from the ultimate product. CBD isolates can be found in either crystalline or powder kind.
Broad spectrum CBD oil presents all the entourage advantages related to full-spectrum CBD, however without any probabilities of THC being ingested into the physique. CBD isolate doesn’t deliver the entourage impact since it’s only a singular compound. starts as full spectrum CBD oil that undergoes an extra course of to remove the hint quantities of THC. It nonetheless contains the complete profile of cannabinoids, terpenes and other pure compounds that occur naturally in hemp, however does not include any THC.
Some people discover the taste of hemp extract unpleasant, which can mean they should try a CBD isolate (or one other methodology of taking CBD such as CBD capsules or gummies). The lack of taste might also make isolate a better option for cooking with CBD or mixing into some CBD cocktails. CBD isolate powder can also be an interesting possibility for making CBD merchandise for personal CBD E-Juice use, corresponding to do-it-yourself CBD therapeutic massage oil. Full spectrum CBD refers to an answer that features all the naturally occurring plant compounds, including different cannabinoids (like THC), terpenes and essential oils. Although full spectrum CBD sometimes contains other hashish compounds, the THC ranges are still very low (less than zero.3 p.c) when the product is derived from hemp.
This is as a result of cannabinoids like CBD and THC are synergistic, meaning they’ll’t do their job without each other. All of the ingredients work together to make a scrumptious end end result. If you omit an ingredient or two, you still might get a similar product, nevertheless it won’t be at its greatest.

A CONCERT: SOUNDS OF WAR
by Jennifer Bryce
This is, sadly, an appropriate time for a concert entitled ‘Sounds of War’, which opened the Australian National Academy of Music Chamber Music Festival on Friday 24th June.
Three works were performed. I was familiar with two of them: Stravinsky, L’histoire du soldat (a Soldier’s Tale) and Messiaen’s Quatour pour le fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time). The other work, Janȧček’s Capriccio, chamber music featuring piano written for the left hand, was new to me.
The Stravinsky is written with a libretto, based on a Russian folk tale where a soldier trades his fiddle to the devil in return for wealth. The piece was premièred near the end of World War I. On this occasion it was played purely as a piece of chamber music for clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, percussion, violin and double bass. The strange combination of instruments (strings at either end of the pitch range, one single reed and one double reed wind instrument) gives a devilish timbre to the music. The ANAM students performed this superbly, without a conductor — the clear, precise rhythms brilliantly executed. The playing was so expressive that there seemed no need for a narrator or an outline of the story.
I’ve never been drawn to Janȧček’s music, but I can only say I was gobsmacked by the Capriccio. In the end Janȧček wrote it for pianist Otakar Hollman, who lost the use of his right hand during World War I. Hollman joined left-armed pianist Wittgenstein in seeking the composition of more works that could be played by unfortunate victims of the war. Apparently Janȧček was initially reluctant to oblige, saying it would be like creating a dance for a person with one leg. He apparently labelled this resulting work Vzdor, meaning ‘defiance’ and although there are various ways this might be interpreted it did seem to me that the work is so fiendishly difficult that Janȧček may have intentionally placed further barriers before the aspiring pianist. To his great credit, ANAM student Leo Nguyen played the part superbly. The piano doesn’t always have the lead but when it does, the left hand must execute rippling arpeggios, scales and trills over the full compass of the instrument. The extraordinary instrumentation adds to the uncanny, at times spine-chilling outcome: flute, two trumpets, two trombones, bass trombone and euphonium.
The final work, Messiaen’s Quatour pour le fin du temps is scored for clarinet, violin, cello and piano. It is believed that these were the instruments available to Messiaen when he was in a German prison camp during World War II. The lack of solo piano parts in the piece may be because the Germans provided a poor quality piano. In 2014, at the Edinburgh Festival, I had attended a talk by Peter Hill, an emeritus professor and well-recognised interpreter of Olivier Messiaen’s music who worked closely with the composer before his death in 1992. Hill suggested that Messiaen wrote a work to transcend war, looking to eternity and the life beyond. Before his capture by the Germans Messiaen was a medical orderly at Verdun. (He had poor eyesight and was therefore assigned a non combative role.) He chose to go on watch at an unpopular time, the early hours of the morning, so that he could hear the bird call, which he transcribed. The third movement of this piece is: Abîme des oiseaux. Peter Hill pointed out that in this work the end of time is literal as well as figurative. In the final movement, as the piece slows to the end, it becomes so very slow that it kind of runs out of rhythm. It is infinite slowness. Thus, the end of time. | <urn:uuid:50cb505f-6639-486c-b1d1-e890657a8f47> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jenniferbryce.net/2022/06/26/a-concert-sounds-of-war/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.965851 | 872 | 1.742188 | 2 |
Loui Jover Illustrator and Ink artist
We all feel like artists, more or less, some of us embrace the title of ‘artist’ , some of us enjoy art and some of us don’t understand art. The man I want to present you is one of a kind artist. He truly embraces art and he succeeds to do some spectacular artworks with low resources.
I’m talking about Loui Jover an Australian artist who chose a different way to illustrate . He works with ink and paper . Looks simple up to this point, right? Well, what makes Loui special is that he does his illustrations on old, very old paper collected from used books. He glue them together to make larger sheets where to draw.
I never thought that ink could look so great on worn out paper, but how he said ‘ink’ became its life blood.

Beaverton School District (BSD) recently released their tentative back-to-school plan. The BSD model has two paths: a) school-based hybrid model, or b) FLEX online school. The hybrid model includes both virtual learning and in-person learning. BSD explains that all daily work will be delivered online by neighborhood or option school teachers and the in-person instruction is intended to be “extra” or “supplementary” for social-emotional interaction.
The FLEX model is a fully virtual K-12 school. Students will still remain enrolled in the District, but FLEX is a permanent school (meaning, if students want to switch back to their regular school they’ll need to wait until the end of the semester.) FLEX is designed to be entirely virtual. | <urn:uuid:39545cce-3773-42be-ab31-a58527730be1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wiscarsonlawpc.com/covid-19-beaverton-sd-update/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.960052 | 173 | 1.921875 | 2 |
A recently developed coda magnitude methodology was applied to selected broadband stations in Turkey for the purpose of testing the coda method in a large, laterally complex region. As found in other, albeit smaller regions, coda envelope amplitude measurements are significantly less variable than distance-corrected direct wave measurements (i.e., L-g and surface waves) by roughly a factor 3-to-4. Despite strong lateral crustal heterogeneity in Turkey, we found that the region could be adequately modeled assuming a simple 1-D, radially symmetric path correction. After calibrating the stations ISP, ISKB, and MALT for local and regional distances, single-station moment-magnitude estimates (M-w) derived from the coda spectra were in excellent agreement with those determined from multi-station waveform modeling inversions, exhibiting a data standard deviation of 0.17. Though the calibration was validated using large events, the results of the calibration will extend M-w estimates to significantly smaller events which could not otherwise be waveform modeled. The successful application of the method is remarkable considering the significant lateral complexity in Turkey and the simple assumptions used in the coda method. | <urn:uuid:f917f4e8-6efc-4adc-839f-e4db368d0a7d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://avesis.itu.edu.tr/yayin/ee3bc160-0abc-4629-87c4-56f9429ae51b/an-application-of-the-coda-methodology-for-moment-rate-spectra-using-broadband-stations-in-turkey | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.925824 | 239 | 1.71875 | 2 |

This soil moisture sensor can read the amount of moisture present in the soil surrounding it. It's a low tech sensor, but ideal for monitoring an urban garden, or your pet plant's water level. This is a must have tool for a connected garden!
This sensor uses the two probes to pass current through the soil, and then it reads that resistance to get the moisture level. More water makes the soil conduct electricity more easily (less resistance), while dry soil conducts electricity poorly (more resistance). It will be helpful to remind you to water your indoor plants or to monitor the soil moisture in your garden. | <urn:uuid:711be591-0774-4b46-9eb5-f4d6b5a53361> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sgbotic.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=3288 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.923138 | 122 | 2.84375 | 3 |
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and occurrence of epilepsy, interictal epileptiform discharges and two years follow-up in children
MetadataShow full item record
The detection and treatment of both attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and epilepsy in young patients are challenging. In some cases, the occurrence of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) flowers the picture, and some clinicians are reluctant to use methylphenidate (MPH) in such cases. Many studies discussed ADHD in children with epilepsy, but only a few investigated relationships between ADHD, IEDs and epilepsy in children with ADHD. It is unclear whether it is safe to use MPH in children with ADHD and comorbid epilepsy and/or IEDs. Aims: We investigated the occurrence of epilepsy and IEDs on awake EEG at baseline in a large sample of children diagnosed with ADHD. Finally, we studied whether the use of MPH would increase the risk for epilepsy in a 2 year prospective, and whether IEDs at baseline influence the occurrence of epileptic seizures (SZs), the use of MPH and the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of all children aged between 6-14 years diagnosed with ADHD over a 6 year period (2000-2005). First, we examined the prevalence and characteristics of epilepsy in children with ADHD and compared it with a general pediatric population, and initial use of MPH in cases with and without epilepsy. Second, we investigated the occurrence of IED on awake EEG at baseline in all children who performed a routine EEG. The clinical characteristics of ADHD children (ADHD inattentive subtype, comorbidities) in cases with and without IEDs were analyzed. Finally, we compared the patients with IEDs (IEDs group) with matched controls (age and gender) without IEDs (non- IEDs group) in a 2 year follow-up. We wanted to examine the use of MPH (initial use, positive response, maintenance on MPH), the use of AEDs, and whether it was safe to use MPH in cases with IEDs (seizure risk) during the first 2 years of treatment. A control EEG was carried out in the IEDs group. Results: We found that 2.3 % of children (N=607) had epilepsy. This is significantly higher than in the general pediatric population (0.5%). In all children, the diagnosis of epilepsy was made before ADHD diagnosis. We were able to carry out baseline EEG in 517 cases and IEDs were found in 39 (7.5%), or in 27 (5.4%), if patients with previous epilepsy were excluded. When we compare this rate with rates of IEDs reported in healthy children, it is unclear whether any differences exist. The cases with IEDs more often had inattentive type of ADHD regardless of previous history of epilepsy. Of the children with IEDs, only children with previous difficult to treat epilepsy developed SZs during the 2 year follow-up, but without any change in SZ frequency. The groups with and without IEDs did not have significant differences in the use of MPH. Some cases from the IEDs group temporarily used AEDs because of diagnostic uncertainties. Conclusions: Epilepsy and IEDs occur more often in children with ADHD compared to the general pediatric population and healthy children. The groups with and without IEDs had similar use of MPH during the two 2 year follow-up. The occurrence of IEDs at baseline was not associated with an increased SZ risk during the 2 year follow-up despite the use of MPH.

Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN) -- When census gatherers went door-to-door visiting 5.6 million households across Nepal this month, they collected information not only on the country's men and women, but also on a so-called third gender.
In what is believed to be a world first, Nepal's Central Bureau of Statistics is giving official recognition to gay and transgender people -- a move seen as major victory for equality in a country that only decriminalized homosexual relationships three years ago.
Among those happy to stand up and be counted in the third gender category is Dilu Buduja, 35. "I was born as a girl, but as I grew up I felt I was a boy. Today I totally feel like a man," he said.
A spokesman for the statistics bureau, Bikash Bista, said the new categorization was an attempt to open up the traditionally conservative country up to different points of view.
But the state's recognition of the rights of gender minorities, gays and lesbians has not come without a fight.
"We had to put in a lot of pressure to have the third gender counted in the census," said gender minority rights activist Sunil Babu Pant.
"It was only after we said that we would go to court that the officials agreed to include the third gender as a category."
If the case had gone to court, it would likely have been upheld thanks to a landmark 2007 Supreme Court ruling that directed the state to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and decriminalize "unnatural sex."
It also decreed the issue of citizenship certificates that clearly indicate an individual's choice of gender identity.
Citizenship certificates, which work as national identity papers, are needed in Nepal to open a bank account, own property, secure a job and get a passport among other things.
"The court also directed the government to form a committee to study what kind of laws can be made for same-sex marriage or civil union," said Hari Phuyal, a human rights lawyer who made the lead argument in the case.
"Nepal's 2007 ruling was an inspiration to even India and the ruling document was studied by the Delhi High Court [of India ] when it decriminalized sodomy last year," he said.
Pant, Nepal's first openly gay lawmaker, described the ruling as "very satisfying," but said its implementation was an "extremely slow and painful process."
His claim is underscored by the fact that Nepal 's Ministry of Home Affairs is yet to direct the country's 75 administrative districts to issue citizenship certificates that indicate gender identity.
"Local authorities did not know about third gender and they were afraid that they would lose their jobs if they gave such a citizenship," said Buduja, who last month became only the second person in the country to obtain a citizenship certificate indicating gender.
Pradeep Khadka, of sexual and gender minority rights advocacy group Blue Diamond Society -- founded by Pant nearly a decade ago -- say delays in fully enforcing the 2007 ruling represent a struggle between conservative and liberal elements in Nepalese society.
Though discrimination persists, there is progress. The government is also finalizing a list of discriminatory laws that need to be changed so that gender minorities can enjoy the same rights as others, including inheritance rights.
Two years ago it also formed a committee to make recommendations on legislation governing same-sex marriage or civil union. It is in the final stages of the completing the report.
"We visited several districts in the country and Norway to look at its experience and use it as a case study," said sociologist Chaitanya Mishra, a member of the recommendation committee.
According to another member of the committee, it will recommend that the government legalize same-sex marriage, which would be a first in South Asia.
"There are 50 to 60 couples waiting to get married on the day same-sex marriage is legalized," said Buduja, who is among those hoping to tie the knot.
But activists say, reluctance among officials to issue the sexuality-specific citizenship certificates means that day may be far away. And without the certificates, many may be reluctant to disclose sexuality to census gatherers.
"But this is an encouraging step forward," Pant said. | <urn:uuid:39d31cb1-4891-41bd-b3f2-3785efd57fef> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/31/nepal.census.gender/index.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.97435 | 879 | 2.40625 | 2 |
For instance, it’s fairly exhausting to put in writing an argumentative essay on whether or not or not folks must be allowed to murder one anotherânot a complete lot of debate there for most people! âbut writing an essay for or against the demise penalty has a lot more wiggle room for evidence and argument. You can write an argumentative essay on any matter, so lengthy as there’s room for argument. Generally, you ought to use the identical topics for both a persuasive essay or an argumentative one, so lengthy as you help the argumentative essay with onerous proof. An argumentative essay seeks to show to the reader that one argumentâthe writer’s argumentâis the factually and logically right one. This implies that an argumentative essay should use only evidence-based help to again up a declare, quite than emotional or philosophical reasoning .
Your audience may be uninformed, or they may not have a robust opinion. Your job is to make them care about the matter and agree along with your place. Again, nearly always, you will be asked to write down an argumentative essay on a free topic of your choice, otherwise you’ll be asked to select between a number of given matters. If you are given full free reign of topics, then it’ll be as a lot as you to search out an essay subject that no only appeals to you, but that you could flip into an A+ argumentative essay. Because the entire objective of your argumentative essay is to persuade others to share your opinion, you want to pay close consideration to counter arguments. It’s not sufficient to simply say that your opponents are mistaken.
In truth, some Americans, especially those in decrease income brackets, could stand to pay lower than their present premiums. Make your appeals in help of your thesis by utilizing sound, credible evidence. Use a steadiness of information and opinions from a variety of sources, corresponding to scientific research, skilled testament, statistics, and private anecdotes. Each piece of evidence ought to be totally explained and clearly stated. Because an argument implies differing factors of view on the topic, you have to be certain to acknowledge these opposing ideas. Avoiding ideas that battle with your personal gives the reader the impression that you may be unsure, fearful, or unaware of opposing ideas.
Sometimes, author’s block may be much like a psychological block if you’re trying to study so you’ll be able to attempt using some suggestions outlined here to clear your head and get back into the writing temper. Plan your paper with a specific viewers in thoughts. Are they a definable group–disinterested observers, opponents of your perspective, and so on.?
However, an opinion in argumentation will have to have legitimate backing; enough evidence and credibility ought to assist the opinion. Experts in a given subject have the knowledge and credentials to make their opinion significant to a larger viewers. Try to deal with opposing arguments earlier rather than later in your essay.
We’ve created an inventory of 50 potential argumentative essay matters to spark your creativeness. The argument is that some people have asserted that they give equal weight to their conflicting loyalties. The refutation is that, although some might declare to have the ability to maintain conflicting loyalties, they’re both mendacity to others or deceiving https://www.hatecrimesheartland.com/news.html themselves.
If you’re invested within the topic, you usually tend to care about the piece of writing. Similarly, the extra you care, the more effort and time you’re apt to place forth and the higher the ultimate product will be. An argumentative thesis must make a declare about which cheap people can disagree. Statements of fact or areas of general agreement cannot be argumentative theses as a result of few folks disagree about them. Below are a few of the key options of an argumentative thesis statement. Each matter sentence ought to be backed up by details, statistics, sound arguments or different supporting knowledge.
Your research ought to embrace all types of reference sources and materials by credible sources and business specialists. A clear, concise, and defined thesis assertion that happens within the first paragraph of the essay. Your thesis should be particular, correct, and controversial. A thesis assertion that isn’t debatable would make for a pretty pointless arugmentative essay. Very informative piece of labor, thanks being easy and Precise. After reading by way of the article I discover myself capable of formulate an excellent thesis assertion. | <urn:uuid:da198b5e-be03-4853-8efc-6193af96cc65> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://appel-sanitaer.de/argumentative-writing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.9308 | 931 | 2.234375 | 2 |
A collection of inspirational wisdom, sayings and quotes on the subject of life and adventure.
Shirley McLaine once said: "I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself ... and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part."
If we are truly spiritual beings having a human experience, then we can take it that our spiritual self is here to 'experience' as much as we can through the human vehicle - this includes to laugh, to love and to be loved, to give of ourselves, to receive, to experience life through our emotions - yes, even pain, because without pain and hardship we cannot have an understanding of love and happiness.
If we shrink from certain experiences just to feel 'safe', then we are not 'living buy only merely 'existing' and we miss out on the experience of 'being alive' and are not truly living at all. So, if life is an adventure, then let's be bold and go out and actually LIVE! Happy travelling!
We're the bridge across forever,
arching above the sea,
adventuring for our pleasure,
living mysteries for the fun of it,
choosing disasters, triumphs, challenges, impossible odds,
testing ourselves over and again,
learning love and love and LOVE!
Can miles truly separate us from friends?
If you want to be with Rae, aren't you already there?
Don't be dismayed at good-byes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes,
is certain for those who are friends.
The brave man seeks not popular applause,
Nor, overpower'd with arms, deserts his cause;
Unsham'd, though foil'd, he does the best he can,
Force is of brutes, but honor is of man.
Bravery is the capacity to perform properly
even when scared half to death.
There is a destiny that makes us brothers -
None goes his way alone;
All that which we send into the lives of others,
Comes back onto our own.
I am not afraid of storms,
for I am learning to sail my ship.
The purpose of life, after all,
is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost,
to reach out eagerly and without fear
for newer and richer experience.
Courage is the price that Life exacts
for granting peace.
When we do the best that we can,
we never know what miracle is wrought
in our life, or in the life of another.
The time is always right
to do what is right.
We need to remember that we are all created creative
and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
is the highest kite we can fly.
Arriving at one goal
is the starting point to another.
What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.
Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much.
is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Twenty years from now,
you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do,
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbour.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
I do the very best I know how -
the very best I can;
and I mean to keep on doing it until the end.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world;
indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
Life shrinks or expands
in proportion to one's courage.
The human spirit is stronger
than anything that can happen to it.
You have not lived a perfect day,
even though you have earned your money,
unless you have done something for someone
who will never be able to repay you. | <urn:uuid:91db9a14-8f46-423c-91f0-8e3fdf182c8d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sapphyr.net/smallgems/quotes-life-adventure.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.94485 | 849 | 1.90625 | 2 |
July Birthstone - Ruby
Anyone with a birthday in July is lucky enough to have ruby as their birthstone, with its opulent iconic shade that sparks images of romance, passion and power! Ruby is the most valuable of all the coloured gemstones, with the exception of fancy coloured diamonds; making it a beautiful investment as well as an eye-catching piece to wear. The ruby gemstone is the symbol for the 40th wedding anniversary, emphasising the love and passion that the ruby gemstone emulates through its iconic red colour.
We take you through some interesting facts which you may not know about this classic gemstone!
The Ruby Gemstone Varies in Colour
The ruby gemstone is the red version of a mineral called corundum; the same mineral which creates the blue sapphire. Rubies vary in colour and depth of saturation and many display a secondary hue of fiery orange or purple. A purple secondary hue is often the most desirable due to the richness it can bring to the gemstone, enhancing its magnificent colour. If a ‘ruby’ becomes pink in colour it is known as ‘pink sapphire’ as opposed to ruby.
Rubies 'Hold the Power of Life'
Rubies were believed to hold the power of life during ancient times, with the red colour representing the flow of blood through the body. Rubies are said to have spiritual power, bringing passion, prosperity and protection to the wearer – perhaps the ideal gift to celebrate a goal financially or romantically!
Favoured by Royalty
Rubies have been favoured by royalty for many centuries but some famous rubies have more recently been found to be spinel! Spinel and ruby share a lot of characteristics and can be hard to differentiate. Perhaps the most famous non-ruby is the ‘Black Prince’s Ruby’ which features in the crown jewels and was only recently found to be a spinel.
The Best Source of Rubies
Historically the best source of rubies came from Burma (now Myanmar). These rubies often have fine inclusions which reflect the light and give the gem the soft ‘silky’ appearance we envision when we think of the ruby gemstone. Furthermore, Burmese rubies sometimes fluoresce and this phenomenon increases the vibrancy of the ruby.

We’ve read a lot about the narcissistic man, but how does the female narcissist work?
We’ve all met someone who appears to be totally self-absorbed, entitled to other people’s time and energy, and so inconsiderate that they are described as being tough when it comes to other people’s feelings and emotions.
Narcissism is a real phenomenon, with or without label. It is considered a personality disorder. Although included in the DSM-5, narcissistic personality disorder, according to the Psychiatric Times, is still a topic of great debate. One reason is that it is not seen as often in psychiatric settings, while private practice appears to be showing more cases of this disorder.
So what is narcissism and does it differ between the sexes?
According to the Mayo Clinic, it is “a state of mind in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration but behind this mask of overconfidence lies a poor self-esteem that is vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”
It should also be remembered that narcissism occurs across a broad spectrum.
There may be narcissists who are obsessed with their appearance but are not cruel when it comes to the feelings of others. There can also be those who put in a lot of time and energy to appear strong, but who are well aware of their self-esteem is actually weak. The latter is actually often referred to as a “vulnerable narcissist.”
Those who cross the “weak” sides of the spectrum often have a more consistent sense of self, held together by a certain inexhaustible trait.
To some extent, it can be said that narcissism plays differently in the sexes. Look into the world of fashion, clothing, and cosmetics, and you’ll want to think that women are the most narcissistic. However, stores and drugstores will tell you a different story, when you look at the number of product launches that cater to men now. Go to the bike and car dealers, and the aspect of male narcissism will take a more significant turn.

So what is the difference between male and female narcissism?
Emily Grigava of State University of New York (SUNY) and her team looked at data from nearly half a million adults studied between 1990 and 2013. They based their findings and conclusions on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), across three subjects A selection of 40 phrases in the index counts narcissistic tendencies.
The four factors considered in the study were exploitation/merit, leadership/power, and grandeur/show. The course of the study also included the team looking at the “vulnerable” aspect of narcissism.
The study found that men can actually outperform women on two, if not all, three of the three counts.
In the themes of exploitation/entitlement and leadership/power in particular, men ranked higher, while also in general, men seemed to take the trophy for being more narcissistic. Researchers have linked this to the way men and women are socialized, and men are often recognized for their drive for power and women are punished for it.
On the other hand, in the subject greatArousal: Women tend to excel and researchers have linked this to the possibility that the fairer sex can feel the pressure of appearing more attractive.
As far as the “vulnerable” part of the spectrum goes, it turns out that men and women are equally burned at feeling fragile self-esteem.
How do you then discover a female narcissist?
The question then is: What can you look for in women, to know that you are dealing with narcissism?
Here are 7 ways to spot a female narcissist:
1. Excessive concern about physical appearance.
Across time and cultures, the message that a well-groomed woman should be is more real than ever.
But in the narcissistic scenario, this aspect is taken to a completely different level. From body size to clothing to fitness to makeup, everything associated with “looking good” is usually high on the list for a narcissistic woman. | <urn:uuid:0ded5d5c-ceac-41b5-a1c5-b020d3b9c538> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://en.alazaheer.net/7-signs-of-a-female-narcissist/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.967669 | 871 | 2.03125 | 2 |

The Money Is In The Drawer, Or Is It? Thoughts About Stealing
We all know what the ultimate consequence is when people take things which do not belong to them. This ison the back of my mind when I get a call from my child's teacher who found a banknote in his pocket, or when I dig out his pockets and toys I have never seen roll out. When I doubt myself if biscuits I had purchased yesterday are missing. Is it conscious stealing, or just an act of a toddler inside the delayed child, or the effects of neglect? One thing is sure: it is a bit of everything, but there is a problem if your money goes missing, regardless of the reason.

Difficulties with socialization and peer interaction in older internationally adopted children
By teachers' and parents' admission, too many internationally adopted children are less socially successful than their age counterparts. Socialization implies accepting, either consciously or subconsciously, the values, attitudes, norms, social roles and styles of interaction that are prevalent in the group. In this article I discuss difficulties of IA children in the process of gaining the knowledge, social skills, and appropriate language that allow for integration into a peer group.
Consequences and discipline in an internationally adopted child's upbringing
A consequence is a natural fallout of a person's choice, action or inaction. It differs from punishment in that a punishment is a retribution. A punishment is "getting back" at someone, trying to hurt them physically or emotionally in the hope that they will behave as we want them to behave in the future. It is much easier to learn from natural consequences than from punishment, as punishment makes people afraid to do something, but not necessarily agree that their action was wrong; and it also conveys the idea that hurting another person is OK.

Getting the Kids to Listen: Danny the Dragon Author Offers Some Tips
Aren't kids supposed to have problems listening to their parents? Aren't they, after all, just kids? I asked children's author, researcher, and humanitarian Tina Turbin (http://TinaTurbin.com), author of the Danny the Dragon (http://DannyTheDragon.com) children's series and mother of three grown children, about getting kids to listen. "Teaching kids to listen can be a process, but in the end it's entirely possible to have kids who listen to you, and in fact, this is actually how things should be," Tina says. | <urn:uuid:413bd096-4947-41bb-bc05-0f67c46d6589> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.adoptionarticlesdirectory.com/ArticlesUser/articles117_list.php?orderby=aarticle_sum | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.958279 | 627 | 1.804688 | 2 |
Building back equal
Girls back to school guide
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the largest disruption to education in history. At the peak of the pandemic in April 2020, the nationwide closures impacted more than 1.5 billion students, or over 90 per cent of the world’s student population, from pre-primary to higher education in 200 countries.
This unprecedented disruption to education has the potential to roll back substantial gains made on girls’ education in recent decades, with broader immediate and longer-term effects on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, including those related to poverty reduction, health and well-being, inclusive quality education and gender equality.
The guide, developed by the Malala Fund, Plan International, UNESCO, UNGEI and UNICEF, aims to help policymakers and practitioners in ministries of education and their partners address the gender dimensions of the pandemic-related school closures. It provides targeted recommendations to ensure continuity of learning while schools are closed, and to establish comprehensive, timely and evidence-based plans for reopening schools in a way that is safe, gender-responsive and child-friendly.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR SUPPLIERS AND MANUFACTURERS OF LAVAY PARIS

Ultrathin lanthanide (Nd, Pr, Eu, Sm) oxide films with functional dielectric properties down to 3.3 nm thickness were deposited by aqueous chemical solution deposition (CSD) onto hydrophilic SiO2/Si substrates. Precursor solutions were prepared from the oxides via an intermediate, solid Ln(III)citrate. A film heat treatment scheme was derived from thermogravimetric analysis of the precursor gels, showing complete decomposition by 600 °C. Crystalline phase formation in the films depended on the lanthanide, annealing temperature, and citric acid content in the precursor. Through variation of the precursor concentration and number of deposited layers, thickness series of uniform films were obtained down to ∼3 nm. The film uniformity was demonstrated both by atomic force microscopy and cross-section transmission electron microscopy. The lanthanide oxide films possessed good dielectric properties. It was concluded that aqueous CSD allows deposition of uniform ultrathin films and may be useful for the evaluation of new high-k candidate materials. | <urn:uuid:09105de0-09cd-486d-82ab-54610752c876> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://core-cms.prod.aop.cambridge.org/core/search?filters%5BauthorTerms%5D=Christoph%20Adelmann&eventCode=SE-AU | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571909.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813051311-20220813081311-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.923418 | 229 | 1.601563 | 2 |

If you are concerned about Alachua County warrants, you probably have a good reason. In terms of general process in the criminal justice system, the way things typically work is that unless a law enforcement officer sees a crime committed with her own two eyes, in most cases, a policeman or a victim swears out an affidavit alleging that some events occurred that would constitute a crime, and an arrest warrant is applied for and is usually signed and entered by a judge. This is the normal way for arrest warrants to be issued.
Arrest Warrants Issued by “Capias”
Another way that arrest warrants get issued is via “capias.” This is a fancy way of referring to a bench warrant or a warrant that doesn’t come through normal law-enforcement-guided channels. One way that a capias can be issued is if the prosecutors “direct-file” a case. This is when the prosecutors file formal charges before the police have even arrested someone. They do this from time to time, for various procedural and strategic reasons. But it’s not an every-day thing. When this happens, the clerk actually has the authority to issue the warrant.
Arrest Warrants Issued for “Failure to Appear (FTA)”
Another more common form of capias or bench warrant is when someone doesn’t show up for court. The judge will say “issue a capias for FTA with no bond,” or typically words to that effect. What that means is that the person had a court date, didn’t show, and the judge is authorized to direct the clerk to issue a warrant right then and there for failure to appear (“FTA”).
In addition to the judge issuing a bench warrant for failure to appear, failure to appear can also be charged as an independent crime. Florida Statutes section 843.15 states that anyone out on bond who willfully fails to appear to any required court date either commits a misdemeanor (if the underlying charge that they were out on bond for in the first place is a misdemeanor) or a third-degree felony (if the charge they bonded out on was a felony). The degree of “willfulness” is an element to this charge that a seasoned attorney can potentially base a defense on.
Then a warrant is issued, and law enforcement enters this fact into all of its databases (including information sharing databases like NCIC). Then, in addition to having law enforcement’s warrant squads proactively looking for the subject of the warrant, any law enforcement contact where the subject’s information is run (think traffic stops or certain encounters with law enforcement out in society) will result in the subject being taken into custody.
“Turn-In” for Warrant Arrest
One way people get ahead of this is by contacting an attorney to either arrange for a “turn-in,” or some other sort of voluntary surrender, or sometimes the case may able to be worked out pre-arrest. No lawyer is going to aid a person in fleeing the authorities. But a seasoned attorney can certainly advise someone as to the risks inherent in their situation and as to how to address next steps in order to be able to lawfully navigate the often perilous road of the criminal justice system.
Alachua County Warrants Page
Many jurisdictions have “warrants pages” where it is accessible online to see who has outstanding warrants. There are two schools of thought on this, from a law enforcement perspective. One school of thought is that wanted persons should never be tipped off to the fact that they’re being sought by law enforcement, because it levels the playing field, informationally speaking, by putting the person on notice that they’re wanted, and in so doing it enables them to evade law enforcement more effectively. The other school of thought (and the one that is prevailing in most jurisdictions) is that most people with warrants are not hard-core career criminals, and most people with warrants would actually want to know, so that they can set their affairs in order and confront whatever obstacles facing them, rather than run the risk of being randomly arrested in front of friends or family the next time you just happen to get pulled over for speeding or what have you. The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, for example, has a warrants page for the viewing public to explore.

A little 10-person studyTrusted Source located that people with fatigue syndrome gained from making use of an infrared sauna as part of an overall therapy.
An additional 10-person studyTrusted Resource discovered that infrared saunas helped decrease muscle soreness and increase recuperation from strength-training sessions.
According to one evaluation, numerous research studies have located that infrared light therapy saunas might help in reducing high blood pressure.
The lack of strong proof and also wide-spread researches concerning the possible benefits of infrared saunas leaves the customer (you) to sort via the cases made by the companies who provide this solution.
Similarly, there are no records of unfavorable results until now, past the cautions regarding any sauna experience. These include the possibilities of overheating, dehydrating, and also disturbance with medication, as well as the possible risks for those that are pregnant, have heart disease, or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, to name a few.
Fortunately: Even if your sweat session does not do every one of the important things it claims to do, a minimum of it still really feels good. And also, it adds to your overall health as well as health by assisting you loosen up, loosening up rigid or tight muscular tissues, minimizing joint pain, and also providing you some much needed time to on your own.
How do you utilize an infrared sauna?

All Blocked Up?
All Blocked Up?
Everybody at some time or another succumbs to the common cold. If we are generally healthy we can resume our lives after a week of feeling low without too much upheaval but for some, it can be a miserable and frustratingly long recovery. Fortunately, there are medicinal herbs which have been used successfully for centuries to help us deal with the uncomfortable symptoms of the common cold.
What Causes a Cold?
Over 200 different viruses cause colds, the most common being the rhinoviruses. The virus spreads through coughing, sneezing and touching things that have been handled by a cold sufferer and mainly affects the lining of the nose and throat, sometimes spreading to the chest with sore throat, congestion, cough, headache, sneezing and tiredness the predominant symptoms.
One of the defining symptoms of a cold is congestion which makes us feel ‘blocked up’ and restricts our breathing. Mucus has a protective function in the respiratory system, acting as a barrier to foreign particles and bacteria and carrying them out of the body when we sneeze, cough or blow our nose. In a cold though, the build up of mucus may become a breeding ground for bacteria with its moist, nutrient rich environment which is why it’s helpful to assist the body to clear this excess congestion during a cold.
Herbs For Congestion Relief
To loosen phlegm and help expel excess mucus through coughing or clearing the throat:
- Elecampane (Inula helenium)
- Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)
- Pelargonium (Pelargonium sidoides)
- Sundew (Drosera longifolia)
- Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
- Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – also suitable for an irritating dry cough often at the end of a cold.
Note that Licorice may exacerbate symptoms of fluid retention or high blood pressure in some people so seek professional advice if these symptoms are present.
Herbs For Cold Prevention
Useful to take for the purpose of supporting our immune system and preventing colds:
- Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)
- Echinacea root (Echinacea angustifolia/purpurea)
- Elder Berry (Sambucus nigra)
- Withania (Withania somnifera)
Other Tips for Good Immune Health
Of course, our lifestyle plays a role in whether or not we enjoy robust immune health. Eating a healthy diet with lots of fresh, unprocessed food lays the foundation for good health. :
- Get 6-8 hours sleep every night
- Eat a balanced diet consisting largely of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, nuts and seeds.
- Drink at least two litres of water a day
- Manage your stress. Regular massages, long walks and taking time out to relax and do things you enjoy can all help reduce stress and its impact on the immune system.
- Exercise – we all know it’s important but how much do we make it a part of our lives?
- Zinc and vitamin C are helpful nutrients to support the immune system. Zinc is found in shellfish and red meat with pumpkin seeds being a high vegetarian source. Vitamin C is high in red capsicum, guavas, kale, broccoli, kiwifruit and citrus with Kakadu Plum (an Australian native) being the highest source.
Need Further Help?
Book an acute case consult and have a personalised herbal formula made up specifically for your needs. If recurrent colds and chronic immune issues have been troubling you or your children for a while, a full naturopathic consultation is advised to look at all aspects of your health picture. | <urn:uuid:69552bbb-4aa0-451f-80f6-afb9c27f9c17> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.vitalchild.com.au/all-blocked-up/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.916773 | 804 | 2.59375 | 3 |
An elderly man in North Carolina had owned a large farm for several years.
He had a large pond in the back, fixed up really nice, along with some picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.
The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.
He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
When he came closer, he realized it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end to shield themselves.
One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!'
The old man frowned and replied, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.'
Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator.'

Our Spring Term Journey
Check back to see what we get up to this half term!
This half term we are learning the story Whatever Next! and finding out all about space.
We will be learning an oral version of the story and using props and resources to make up our own space story. We will be helping baby bear to write a list of what he could take up into space as well as researching the different planets and writing our own space facts.
This week we have learnt a planet song all about the solar system.
This week we started learning our new story Whatever Next. first we predicted from the front cover about what we thought might happen.
The bear is going into space... maybe to Mars.
He might meet an alien in space and bring him home with him.
He might fall out of space and hurt himself when he lands.
The next day we read the story and thought about whether our predictions had been right. We also used our phonics to write lists of what else we thought baby bear might take to the moon with him.
On Friday we started learning about our new value 'Courage'. We talked about how courage means being brave, be willing to have a go, try new things and trying not to be scared. Children then thought about when they have been brave.
At the doctors getting an injection.... On the big slide in Dragons Den... At nightime when it is dark... when we fall and hurt ourselves
This week something exciting happened. When we came back into the classroom after lunch there was green all over our classroom! We thought about what it could be...
an alien, nibbles (a charachter from a book), somebody with paint on their feet, Hulk, a monster.
We had no idea. We then set off into the forest for our forest adventure, you will never guess what we found! More green slime! It was everywhere in the forest. We followed the slime deeper and deeper into the forest and then found lots of silver shapes, nuts, bolts and pipes. We decided an alien must have crash landed in our forest and was now stuck. We were amazed by what we found and told everyone back in school to look out for the alien! | <urn:uuid:b3bfd2ad-3d9f-4218-8c18-0601d0c0dc36> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.riddlesdenstmarys.net/Our-Spring-Term-Journey-16012019093103/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572033.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814113403-20220814143403-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.962286 | 462 | 3.046875 | 3 |

ACA Raises Bar On Mobile Safety
Journalist: David Hutting
May 30, 2000
On 29 May 2000, the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) says it is updating cell phone radiation regulations. They will widen from applying to devices in the 800MHz to 900MHz range to covering all mobile phone handsets and base stations, cordless phone handsets and satellite phone handsets in the 800MHz to 2500MHz range.
An authority spokeswoman, however, says that although the ACA knows that consumers are keen to be informed of the level of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) being emitted by particular phones, commercial confidentiality still precludes this, and she says that although more equipment will be covered under the new regulation, the allowable level of EMR will not be reduced.
Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association director, Peter Russell, says all EMR levels are below the standard. | <urn:uuid:94aa3893-9a10-417e-ad42-a34dc184a6a1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.rfsafe.com/aca-raises-bar-mobile-safety/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.903588 | 178 | 1.757813 | 2 |
"How luscious lies the pea within the pod." – Emily Dickinson
Love them or hate them, it seems like everyone has a strong opinion about peas. If you can’t stand them, it might be because they’re an easy vegetable to get wrong; canning or over-boiling strips them of most of their flavor and reduces them to a mushy mess. But cooked properly, and paired with the right foods, peas make a delicious, crunchy, pleasantly sweet addition to salads, soups, pasta dishes, and many meat and fish recipes.
You might be surprised to learn that peas are technically fruits, not vegetables, because their seeds develop from the ovary of a pea flower. But, of course, they’re used almost exclusively as a vegetable in cooking.
If you want to take your fondness for peas to the next level, check out the Peasenhall Pea Festival in the English village of Peasenhall. This unique event, held every summer, hosts the World Pea Podding Championships, the British Pea Throwing Championship Event, a national pea-eating contest, and a variety of other diversions for avid pea enthusiasts.
In the mean time, read on for tips on choosing, storing, and cooking different kinds of peas.
When they're in season: English peas (also known as shell peas or garden peas) are in season from late spring to early summer, and tend to reach their peak in May. Sugar snap and snow peas are in season during cooler weather in both the spring and the fall.
How to choose:
English peas (shell peas): Look for full pods, but stay away from ones that are too plump or too flat. Make sure the pods aren’t dried or withered.
Sugar snap and snow peas: Again, avoid shriveled pods, and stick with firm, bright green varieties. Sugar snap peas should be crisp and should snap easily in half.
How to store: Sealed tightly in plastic, fresh peas will last in the refrigerator up to five days, but it’s best to use them as soon after picking or buying as possible. Or, you can blanch them for one minute in boiling water and freeze for later.
How to prepare:
English peas: If you have the whole pod, simply pop the pod open and scrape out the peas inside. The peas can be eaten fresh, or cooked very briefly in boiling water. Don’t cook them too much, or they’ll lose much of their flavor and become the dreaded mushy mess that gives peas a bad name!
Sugar snap and snow peas: These sweet, crunchy peas are delicious uncooked and can be eaten whole as a healthy snack, pod and all. If you’re cooking them, boil for less than a minute or sauté them briefly in butter or oil.

I had my minivan stop running while i was on the freeway. My electrical seemed a bit off, the speed decreased and it slowly died. I tested the battery and it was fine, tested the alternator and it failed. I changed the alternator and still wouldnt start. I changed the battery as well and it worked for about 2 days and then it did the same thing. Radio started to flicker, all the lights turned on and the car decreased until it didnt run anymore?
What could this be? Bad gearing? A faulty brand new alternator? Please help me out.
Is this an original equipment alternator or aftermarket?
When you tested the battery the first time, did you do a load test, or just a simple voltage check?
Make sure the belt that drives the alternator is in good shape, not slipping, and doing its job. If that’s ok …
It sounds like you still have a charging system problem of some kind. That’s actually good news, as it should be fairly inexpensive to repair. It might be somewhat complicated to diagnose though. Rather than listing out every possibility, what I’d do as a start is charge up the battery with a battery charger enough so you can start it, then measure the voltage at the battery with the engine running. It should be about 14-15 volts. Is it?
Are the battery cables clean? Is there corrosion on where the cable meets the connectors?
My car is slowly dying too.

Recent discoveries have revealed that silver colloids can form traveling waves in hydrogen peroxide when exposed to UV light. In a new Science Advances report, Xi Chen and a group of scientists at the Harbin Institute for Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tang University in China showed that the colloidal motion wave is a heterogeneous exitable system.
Silver colloids produced traveling chemical waves via reaction diffusion. They were either self-propelled, or advected by diffusion or osmosis. The fundamental results were observed using pH and hydroxide sensitive dyes. A Rogers-McCulloch model was used to quantitatively as well as qualitatively create the distinctive features of colloidal wave. These results open the door to integrating colloidal waves to study nonlinear phenomena and to investigate colloidal transport for information transmission in biomimetic microrobot groups.
Laboratory translation of biological oscillation
Many oscillatory processes can be observed in living systems. They range from the circadian rhythms to cytosolic oscillations. Combining oscillatory units can result in synchronization, which can give rise to traveling waves. This is evident with calcium waves spreading across fertilized eggs, action potentials propagating through beating heart cells, mitotic state, and waves self-organizing amoeba. To understand the physicsicochemical nature these waves, biophysicists seek to discover the underlying trends of life. The discovery of photochemically active silver-containing oscillating colloids is an exciting addition to this family of nonlinear processes.
Researchers observed the appearance of pulses when they immersed an inert microsphere of polymer half-coated in silver in an aqueous solution containing potassium chloride or hydrogen peroxide. The experiment resulted in the formation of silver nanoparticles that were thought to be catalytic hotspots for further reactions. Regardless of the chemical detail, the team noted how diffusion of chemicals propelled the Janus particles via self-diffusiophoresis, to give rise to similar colloidal motion. Chen and colleagues presented a first look at the creation of chemically active colloids. They also monitored their responses to chemical waves that went beyond reaction-diffusion systems. These results offer strong opportunities for translational research linking active matter to nonlinear science to regulate swarms biomimetic microscopical machines.
Colloidal waves: Chemical waves
Chen et. al. described the physicochemical basis of activation and recovery colloidal waves. The wave phenomenon is based on traveling waves in reaction diffusion systems. Chen et al hypothesized that colloidal waves could be supported by a traveling chemical waves, which they believe are caused by reaction-diffusion mechanism. Hydrogen peroxide, for example, can be decomposed faster at higher pH levels to form highly oxidative intermediates which oxidized silver to silver chloride. The silver-colloid was activated by the chemical reactivity, releasing a burst full of chemicals to keep chemical wave propagation going. Fluorescence mapping and pH measurements were used to confirm the production of silver anions and the formation hydrogen cations in silver chloride photodecomposition.
The chemical reaction of colloids to a wave: Modelling a reaction-diffusion colloidalwave
Next, the scientists studied the dynamics and formation of colloidal particles within a chemical wave. They noted ionic self-diffusiophoresis, and at higher ionic densities they noted weaker electro-kinetic effects for reduced self-propulsion. They discovered the dynamics of neutral disusio-osmosis dynamics. This allowed colloid particles to move via advection and self-propagation. The colloidal wave became a swarming wave as self-propagation decreased and diffusio osmosis increased in a crowded solution of increasing ionic strength. The experiments revealed a variety of effects including electrokinetic effects and self-propulsion. Chen and colleagues then reproduced the reaction-diffusion colloidal waves via numerical simulations, which confirmed their claims. They used the Rogers McCulloch model to simulate chemical waves. The resulting numerical models qualitatively reproduced key characteristics, which allowed them to investigate the dynamics of colloidal wave dynamics.
Xi Chen and his colleagues created a numerical model that simulates colloidal waves in order to study the heterogeneity within chemical waves. These results were in good agreement with experiments and simulations. They provide important insights into the microscopic details of chemical waveforms in experimental systems. To regulate the movement of micro- and nanoscopical objects in time and space, colloidal waves can be combined with optical tweezers, acoustofluidics and microfluidics. This method can be used to study the physicochemical dynamic of colloidal waves and to create wave-mediated information transmission systems for autonomous micro-robots. The colloidal waves are a useful model system for reaction-diffusion processes on microscopic and mesoscopic scales.

The Holocaust: Repirations and PaymentsThe Holocaust was a robbery, however money cannot replace the lives that were destroyed. The World Jewish Congress estimates between 23-32 billion 1945 dollars were taken from jews in occupied Europe. This money was taken through lies, theft and outright barbarity. After the war, Western Allies helped Jews reclaim their property, however many people, who were liberated by the Soviets, did not have this luxury.
When families began to settle, and were in need of funds, they took it upon themselves to sue the establishments who had confiscated their possessions. Many companies and countries readily paid millions of dollars, however the largest payment, came from Germany itself. The World Jewish Congress estimates between 23-32 billion 1945 dollars were taken from Jews in Occupied Europe. (CQ researcher)This money was taken from jewish people through deceit, trickery and outright theft.
In light of these occurrences, many jews put their savings in swiss bank accounts. German officers also did the same with stolen money. After the war, the swiss banks kept this treasure they had amassed over a 12 year period. Other countries, such as Austria, and Poland stole precious possessions from Jewish families, such as rings, and trinkets. Personal items by the thousands were taken and used to make German Products.
Things such as hair and fingernails were cut off and used to stuff pillows or to make cement. After the war, Western Allies helped Jews recalim their property as best as they could, however some jews lied, and stole other peoples precious belongings. Some governments formed formal investigation committies to discover what was whos so to speak. The new nation of Israel, which was taken from the Palistinians by the british, and given to the victims of the Holocaust, sued Germany for 4. 5 Billion dollars. The money is critical for Israel to buy arms in order to stop any forms of rebellion.
Many jews form class action suits against companies such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, both of whom allegedly used jewish slaves to make vehicles. The United States Government creates a Holocaust claims commitee, to oversee and aid in the return of money and property. Many individual companies paid money, however the largestpayment came from Germany itself. Germany agreed to pay 14 billion dollars over a period of 10-14 years to victims of the Holocaust.
The money that the Swiss banks had kept, was being repaid. Several banks together agreed to pay 4. 7 billion dollars in total to Holocaust families. Austria, pays 150 million dollars over a period of 15 years.
However, some do not want anything to do with this money. This is because the money is made of mother’s rings and father’s teeth. (Joast) Indeed the method most of this money was taken was in such a way, that to profit from such a horrible occurrence as this, one would have to lack certain qualities that reside in ones conscious. However the this shows us that the Holocaust victims were human, and not 100% victims as was the old notion. Many individuals were very critical of people who sought comfort and closure through million dollar settlements.
What was taken from the millions of human beings during the Holocaust will and can never be returned, however money, should be the last thing on peoples minds when thinking of this. In fact, 67% of the people currently suing germany and other nations about the Holocaust, were not victims themselves. (http://wjcic. mvb. org/hlcst/current/index/main.

Advanced Bionics (AB) is currently receiving global approval of their HiRes™ Ultra 3D Cochlear Implant. This new cochlear implant (CI) device allows patients to have uninhibited access to an MRI scan.
1 in 10 patients undergo an MRI scan every year in most developed markets.1 Given that CI recipients suffer from sensorineural hearing loss, these users are at an increased risk of additional inner ear issues that will require an MRI scan at some point in their lifetime. This, combined with the fact that MRIs are becoming much more prevalent as a diagnostic tool for other health complications, means that MRI compatibility is a factor for all CI recipients.
MRIs are often available with two levels of strength - 1.5T and 3.0T. AB’s previous implant generation is compatible with a 1.5T MRI (provided the clinician wraps the patient’s head per a defined protocol). With a trend towards 3.0T over 1.5T MRI systems, and the complications that arise from MRIs with a conventional magnet system (80% of MRI related complications involved patients treated with a head wrap2, 70% of the time, MRIs with CI implants result in pain3, and head wrapping resulted in around 50% of patients having some sort of magnet dislocation.4) the unfilled clinical need is clearly shown.
With the HiRes™ Ultra 3D, we have placed 4 magnet cylinders in a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated titanium frame that sits within titanium case halves. The case halves are laser seam welded together to create a hermetic seal and enclose the magnet assembly. The DLC coating on the frame reduces the friction and wear on the magnets during day-to-day use, and the frame itself provides superior impact resistance compared to all other cochlear implants on the market. Historically, magnets typically crack around 2 to 3 Joules of impact but with the 3D magnet, we achieve 7 to 8 Joules of impact before we start seeing damage.
The magnets within the frame are free to rotate in two dimensions: the magnets rotate around the titanium case’s central axis, and around their own magnetic axis. With this, the magnets can self-align to the MRI field, lowering the risk of pain as magnet torque is reduced to almost zero. While competitors may have their own, disc-shaped magnet solutions that can rotate with one degree of freedom, AB’s unique solution, with an additional degree of freedom, means that there are no head orientation restrictions in the MRI field. Additionally, the number of MRI cycles the patient can undergo without any loss of magnet strength or damage to the mechanism is far greater than our competitor’s.
We have heard testimonials from our patients that they had completely pain-free MRIs and clinicians have said that it was much easier providing their patients with access to an MRI when they don’t have to worry about head wrapping protocols or a surgery. The HiRes™ Ultra 3D is a game changing innovation in CI magnet technology with unmatched performance and a significant clinical future market. | <urn:uuid:cb16f213-0f48-4c3f-8cc9-be9e72730c0d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://contest.techbriefs.com/2020/entries/medical/10727 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.933886 | 636 | 1.6875 | 2 |

KURLANSKY NONVIOLENCE PDF
Non-violence is not the same thing as pacifism, Mark Kurlansky reminds us; it is active opposition to violence or oppression by such non-violent. I very much enjoyed reading this book, although its title is something of a misnomer, as it is mostly a history of war resistance and anti-war thought. Another slight. In this timely, highly original, and controversial narrative, New York Times bestselling author Mark Kurlansky discusses nonviolence as a distinct entity.

Opposing the American Revolution does not mean seeking a nonviolent way to separate kuelansky the British. The book has a powerful message: Nonviolence is the absence of violence. Kurlansky does a terrific job of pointing out not just the suffering of war, but the absurdity of it, and the deception behind it.
No doubt Orwell would have been skeptical kurlansly the contentions advanced by author Mark Kurlansky in his new primer, “Nonviolence: It ends with the Stop the War march in London in FebruaryBritain’s biggest ever demonstration and, in Hernon’s view, one of the most futile protests of modern times.

He sees nonviolence as a political tactic, and openly questions those cases in history that have been routinely touted as examples of regimes which would be impervious to a Ghandi-like resistance.

No trivia or quizzes yet. It is a fascinating, lucid account of the non-violence movement throughout history, most of which we have never before encountered.
A history of nonviolence
He exposes the state — any state — for what it is, by explaining why those who are committed to nonviolence are and have always been its greatest enemies.
There are of course limits to what counter-factual histories can tell us, if indeed they can tell us anything, but despite Kurlansky’s arguments, I find myself doubting the idea of countering Nazi atrocities with nonviolence. Other authors might take a more religious approach to the questions, whereas Kurlansky makes an argument from the practical perspective: So long as someone else has a sword or a gun in his hand, we feel the need of the same.
The book is fairly short, so he does not go into too much detail but enough to entice the imagination of those that dream of a way of life without violence.

Up to 20, girls in the UK are at risk of suffering genital mutilation, and more than 60, women already live with the consequences of these illegal procedures, yet there has not been a single prosecution. Could nonviolence have worked against even the most evil regimes in history?

He fails them here. As I read through it, I felt more and more like Kurlanksy was trying to nonvillence the idea rather discussing its place in history.
He wrote of his nonviolent political adversaries during World War II: WW2 and the holocaust, Haiti and the war of ‘extermination’, etc.

But it ultimately gave me hope that those of us nknviolence follow Jesus today yet don’t agree with the Christendom machine are not alone. Nonviolence can be an effective tactic, but two conditions need to be met: Inspired by Gandhi’s example, it began as a nonviolent movement, but the South African police routinely opened fire on peaceful protesters, so Mandela kurlqnsky an armed wing and began a bombing campaign.
We are determined not to support any kind of war, international or civil, and to strive nonviolently for the removal of the causes of war, including sexism, racism and all forms of human exploitation. Look, it isn’t a flawless work; Kurlansky blows through millennia worth of history in fewer than pages — of course it suffers from lack of depth and development in the areas that it examines.

However, he extends this example by mentioning France: Riots can nonvioolence mindless and ineffective, admits Hernon, but sometimes they are morally justifiable as an expression of social inequality or political impotence. Thoreau is among the many theorists he kurlanxky only in passing.

In his new book, he shows a command of a sweeping body of pacifist history, and he makes centuries of material flow into an overview that is far more combative than its protagonists’ peaceful ways might suggest. Sceptics question St Athan ethics News. Starting with a review of anti-war thought within the main religions – and arguing strongly that each was fundamentally anti-violence and anti-war before being corrupted by becoming powerful – the book continues by galloping through a history of anti-war resistance from the middle ages to the present day.

One scientist who wrote the most important textbook on artificial intelligence claims that experts are scared by their own successes in the field. He compared the advancement of AI to the creation of the atom bomb.
Professor Stuart Russell, founder of the Center for Human-Compatible AI Intelligence at University of California, Berkeley said that most experts believe that machines intelligenter than humans will be developed in the next century. He called for international treaties to regulate technology development.
According to him, the AI community is still not adjusting to the fact that they are having a real impact on the real world. This was not the case throughout the history of AI. We were mostly in the lab developing and trying to get things to work. The question of real-world impacts was not relevant at all. We must catch up quickly.
Artificial intelligence is a key component of modern life. Recent developments include machine translation and image recognition.

Russell, who co-authored the landmark 1995 book Artificial Intelligence. A Modern Approach and will present this year's BBC Reith lecture entitled Living with Artificial Intelligence. He says that urgent work is required to ensure humans are in control of superintelligent AI as it is developed.
AI was designed using a particular approach and methodology. He said that they were not careful enough about using this type of system in complex real-world situations.
It could prove dangerous to ask AI to quickly cure cancer. Russell said that the AI would likely find ways to induce tumours in all people, and could thus run millions of experiments simultaneously, with all of us being guinea-pigs. That's the answer to our objective. We just forgot to mention that humans can't be used as guinea-pigs, and that the entire GDP of the world can't be used to fund your experiments. You can't do this and that.
Russell stated that there was still a gap between today's AI and the AI depicted in movies like Ex Machina. However, a future where machines are smarter than humans was possible.
Russell said that I believe numbers can range from 10 years to the most optimistic to several hundred years. However, almost all AI researchers believe it will happen within the next century.
One concern is that machines would not have to be smarter than humans to pose a serious threat. He said that it is happening now. You can see that social media algorithms have enormous control over cognitive input.
He explained that algorithms are used to brainwash users, making their behavior more predictable in choosing which content to engage with. This increases click-based revenue.
Are AI researchers becoming spooked at their own successes? Russell agreed.
It reminds me of the time in physics when physicists understood that atomic energy existed. They could measure the masses and calculate how much energy was possible if they could convert between different types of elements. However, experts have always maintained that this idea was theoretical. Then it happened, and they weren't prepared for it.
He expressed concern about the use of AI in military applications, such as small antipersonnel weaponry. These are the most easily scaleable, which means you could pack a million of them into one truck, and then you could open the back to let them go. They could wipe out entire cities, Russell said.
Russell believes that the future of AI lies in creating machines that can recognize the truth and our preferences. This means they will need to consult humans before making any decisions. The idea is complicated because people have different preferences and sometimes conflicting ones.
Russell demanded that there be a code for researchers, legislation, and treaties to protect AI systems from misuse, as well as training for researchers to prevent racial bias. Russell called for the adoption of EU legislation to ban machines impersonating humans.
Russell stated that he hopes the Reith lectures will emphasize the fact that we have a choice as to what the future holds. He said that it is crucial for the public to participate in these choices because the public will ultimately benefit from them.
There was also another message. He said that progress in AI will take some time, but it does not make it science fiction. | <urn:uuid:0d56e5a2-5795-4c6c-b91a-a74c7c349114> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://trueviralnews.com/54758-yeah-were-spooked-ai-starting-to-have-big-real-world-impact-says-expert.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.975317 | 842 | 2.90625 | 3 |
Autism and specific language impairment: categorical distinction or continuum?
Traditionally, autism and specific language impairment (SLI) are regarded as distinct disorders, with differential diagnosis hinging on two features. First, in SLI one sees isolated language impairments in the context of otherwise normal development, whereas in autism a triad of impairments is seen, affecting communication, social interaction and behavioural repertoire. Second, there are different communication problems in these two conditions. Children with SLI have particular difficulty with structural aspects of language (phonology and syntax). In contrast, abnormal use of language (pragmatics) is the most striking feature of autism. However, recently, this conventional view has been challenged on three counts. First, children with autism have structural language impairments similar to those in SLI. Second, some children have symptoms intermediate between autism and SLT. Third, there is a high rate of language impairments in relatives of people with autism, suggesting aetiological continuities between SLI and autism. One interpretation of these findings is to regard autism as 'SLI plus', i.e. to assume that the only factor differentiating the disorders is the presence of additional impairments in autism. It is suggested that a more plausible interpretation is to regard structural and pragmatic language impairments as correlated but separable consequences of common underlying risk factors. | <urn:uuid:15eba40f-cab6-4eb8-9aad-a1a63ee4797e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/publications/30570?389869aa-1ad0-11ed-930f-06ec9236112e | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571909.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813051311-20220813081311-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.945697 | 278 | 2.90625 | 3 |
MK-Ultra was a top-secret CIA project in which the agency conducted hundreds of clandestine experiments—sometimes on unwitting U.S. citizens—to assess the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering and psychological torture. Though Project MK-Ultra lasted from 1953 until about 1973, details of the illicit program didn’t become public until 1975, during a congressional investigation into widespread illegal CIA activities within the United States and around the world.
The Cold War and Project MK-Ultra
In the 1950s and 1960s—the height of the Cold War—the United States government feared that Soviet, Chinese and North Korean agents were using mind control to brainwash U.S. prisoners of war in Korea.
In response, Allan Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), approved Project MK-Ultra in 1953. The covert operation aimed to develop techniques that could be used against Soviet bloc enemies to control human behavior with drugs and other psychological manipulators.
The program involved more than 150 human experiments involving psychedelic drugs, paralytics and electroshock therapy. Sometimes the test subjects knew they were participating in a study—but at other times, they had no idea, even when the hallucinogens started taking effect.
Many of the tests were conducted at universities, hospitals or prisons in the United States and Canada. Most of these took place between 1953 and 1964, but it’s not clear how many people were involved in the tests—the agency kept notoriously poor records and destroyed most MK-Ultra documents when the program was officially halted in 1973.

LSD and Sidney Gottlieb
The CIA began to experiment with LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) under the direction of agency chemist and poison expert Sidney Gottlieb. He believed the agency could harness the drug’s mind-altering properties for brainwashing or psychological torture.
Under the auspices of Project MK-Ultra, the CIA began to fund studies at Columbia University, Stanford University and other colleges on the effects of the drug. After a series of tests, the drug was deemed too unpredictable for use in counterintelligence.
Operation Midnight Climax
Operation Midnight Climax was an MK-Ultra project in which government-employed prostitutes lured unsuspecting men to CIA “safe houses” where drug experiments took place.
The CIA dosed the men with LSD and then—while at times drinking cocktails behind a two-way mirror—watched the drug’s effects on the men’s behavior. Recording devices were installed in the prostitutes’ rooms, disguised as electrical outlets.
Most of the Operation Midnight Climax experiments took place in San Francisco and Marin County, California, and in New York City. The program had little oversight and the CIA agents involved admitted that a freewheeling, party-like atmosphere prevailed.
An agent named George White wrote to Gottlieb in 1971: “Of course I was a very minor missionary, actually a heretic, but I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill and cheat, steal, deceive, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the All-Highest?”

The Death of Frank Olson
Frank Olson was a scientist who worked for the CIA. At a 1953 CIA retreat, Olson drank a cocktail that had been secretly spiked with LSD.
A few days later, on November 28, 1953, Olson tumbled to his death from the window of a New York City hotel room in an alleged suicide.
The family of Frank Olson decided to have a second autopsy performed in 1994. A forensics team found injuries on the body that had likely occurred before the fall. The findings sparked conspiracy theories that Olson might have been assassinated by the CIA.
After prolonged legal proceedings, Olson’s family was awarded a settlement of $750,000, and received a personal apology from President Gerald Ford and then-CIA Director William Colby.
Ken Kesey and Other MK-Ultra Participants
Ken Kesey, author of the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, volunteered for MK-Ultra experiments with LSD while he was a college student at Stanford University.
Kesey later went on to promote the drug, hosting LSD-fueled parties that he called “Acid Tests.”
Acid Tests combined drug use with musical performances by bands including the Grateful Dead and psychedelic effects such as fluorescent paint and black lights. These parties influenced the early development of hippie culture and kick-started the 1960s psychedelic drug scene.
Other notable people who reportedly volunteered for CIA-backed experiments with LSD include Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead lyricist; Ted Kaczynski, better known as the “Unabomber”; and James Joseph “Whitey” Bulger, the notorious Boston mobster.
In 1974, New York Times journalist Seymour Hersh published a story about how the CIA had conducted non-consensual drug experiments and illegal spying operations on U.S. citizens. His report started the lengthy process of bringing long-suppressed details about MK-Ultra to light.
The following year, President Ford—in the wake of the Watergate scandal and amid growing distrust of the U.S. government—set up the United States President’s Commission on CIA Activities within the United States to investigate illegal CIA activities, including Project MK-Ultra and other experiments on unsuspecting citizens.
The Commission was led by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller and is commonly referred to as the Rockefeller Commission.
The Church Committee—helmed by Idaho Democratic Senator Frank Church—was a larger investigation into the abuses of the CIA, FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies during and after the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon.
The Church Committee delved into plots to assassinate foreign leaders, including Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba. It also uncovered thousands of documents related to MK-Ultra.
These revelations resulted in Ford’s 1976 Executive Order on Intelligence Activities that prohibited “experimentation with drugs on human subjects, except with the informed consent, in writing and witnessed by a disinterested party, of each such human subject.” | <urn:uuid:cf3c4234-be09-47a4-90c6-f95fefc67edc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.history.com/topics/us-government/history-of-mk-ultra | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.950564 | 1,312 | 3.078125 | 3 |
Many of today?s homeowners are looking for ways to save money and make their homes more energy efficient as they undertake remodeling projects. Because homeowners themselves tend to focus on the aspects of the home they come in contact with the most, it is vital that remodeling industry professionals help their customers make smart decisions about building fundamentals, like insulation and ventilation, which have a much greater impact on the efficiency of a home than faucets and light fixtures.
Of the numerous insulation and air sealing products to choose from as you work with homeowners to create the home of their dreams, spray polyurethane foam (SPF) can help remodelers exceed the expectations of even the most discerning customer. While SPF can be used for multiple purposes in a home, the most common use of SPF in a remodeling project is for insulation and air sealing. As you open the walls, floors or attic of a home during a remodel, you have a great opportunity to install SPF to provide an incredibly high-quality air seal and insulation package.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s Energy Star program, air leaks account for 25 to 40 percent of the energy used to heat and cool a typical residence. Insulating and air sealing with SPF can dramatically reduce a home?s energy use, which in turn lowers its carbon footprint. Further, it can save the homeowner money while improving comfort and providing control over indoor air quality. In fact, not only does SPF have a good return on investment, but in many cases the monthly savings from reduced energy usage could help pay for other parts of the remodel.
Two types of SPF
SPF is field-applied by sub-contractors using a specialized proportioner to mix the two liquids, Part-A and Part-B, which react to create the foam in the wall, ceiling or floor assembly. The sprayed-in-place foam is essentially an adhesive that is frothed up so it adheres tenaciously to the framing members.
There are two types of professionally applied SPF generally used in residential remodels: medium- and low-density foams. Medium-density foam is often called closed-cell or 2-pound foam, and low-density foam is known as open-cell or ½-pound foam.
Medium-density foam expands about 30 times its liquid volume to form a semi-rigid insulation weighing about two pounds per cubic foot. Medium-density foam?s thermal resistance, or R-value, is among the highest of any insulation commonly available and, because it is field-applied, there are no seams or gaps which detract from optimal thermal performance.
This type of foam also adds substantial structural integrity to a home and it is highly moisture resistant, making medium-density foam a good option for buildings in areas prone to flooding or high winds.
Low-density foam weighs approximately half a pound per cubic foot and uses trapped air inside the cells as the insulator. Low-density SPF expands over a hundred times its liquid volume and is an excellent air barrier material as tested in accordance with ASTM standards. This type of foam flows readily into little nooks and crannies to air seal exceptionally well, yet there is not sufficient expansion pressure to move the framing members.
Use a qualified contractor
Whether you are specifying medium- or low-density foam on a remodeling project, it will not significantly change how you have managed remodeling projects in the past. It is important to remember to consult a qualified SPF contractor about installing spray foam. Such a contractor is trained in how to isolate the space where the SPF is being applied and knows to allow site access only to employees wearing the proper personal protective equipment.
Homeowners, occupants, other sub-contractors and pets remain outside the home while the SPF is being applied, much the same as when spray painters and some other remodel trades complete their work. Refer to the SPF manufacturer?s recommendations concerning the length of time that homeowners, occupants, contractors and pets need to wait before reentering the home.
SPF provides benefits
By installing SPF, you can provide significant benefits to customers who are remodeling their home, including increased energy efficiency and an improved indoor environment. Further, by increasing the home?s energy efficiency, you may be able to reduce the size of the HVAC system.
In addition to these benefits, SPF increases building durability and reduces airborne sound transmission. As a highly effective air barrier, SPF also helps control humidity carried by air infiltration, which can otherwise allow condensation that can lead to mold and mildew growth.
SPF provides an exceptional air seal, closing gaps, cracks and air leaks. This effective air seal contributes to more comfortable spaces by preventing drafts, reducing noise infiltration and helping to keep out insects, pests and allergens.
In order to conserve energy and create a healthy and comfortable indoor environment, it is important to ?build it tight and ventilate right.? Any changes made in one area of the building system can affect other parts elsewhere, and because SPF creates such an effective air seal, it is important to properly ventilate the home after installation. An adequate ventilation rate is important for a healthy indoor environment in every air-sealed home.
A remodeling project is one of the biggest investments a person can make in their home. While materials such as countertops and cabinets can be changed easily in the future, it is a significant undertaking to get into the walls, floors and attic of a house. As you gain access to these areas of the home during a remodel, it is an excellent opportunity to install SPF and provide homeowners with the air sealing and insulation advantages of SPF. In doing so, you can help homeowners reach their goals of saving money and making their homes more energy efficient.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s Energy Star program, air leaks account for 25 to 40 percent of the energy used to heat and cool a typical residence. Insulating and air sealing with SPF can dramatically reduce a home?s energy use, which in turn lowers its carbon footprint. | <urn:uuid:783da7e0-8d49-4f4c-bd83-41030b392529> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.proremodeler.com:443/spray-polyurethane-foam-offers-energy-savings-comfort | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.943323 | 1,335 | 2.3125 | 2 |

Light Interactive Electronic Textiles
With the immense possibilities in the electronic textile technology today, our team will develop alternative approaches focused on solution coating and low-temperature patterning where the engineered energy sources or optical components are indistinguishable components of the fabric employed.
With the freedom of easily employing different types of fabric, employing diverse patterns, and connecting the fibers using various techniques such as weaving or felting, there exist massive opportunities of innovative electronic designs. As of now there is no solution to fabricating air-stable, large-surface, solution-coated power textiles.
The objectives in this direction are:
Explore solution-processed transparent stretchable conductive particles that can easily infiltrate fabrics, such as graphene nanosheets or even metallic carbon nanotubes to form the electrodes.
Study structure integrity and explore the stretchability properties of carbon nanotubes and polymeric elastomers that shield the active layer from electrode diffusion through the fabrics while simultaneously guaranteeing solid contact between all the interfaces of the various fabric layers. With the textile-based substrate being coarse, the processing of all layers will take into account the solubility, temperature stability, adhesion and chemical reactivity of all the underlying materials.

Who are more affected by alcohol?
- New drivers
- Experienced drivers
There is no alcohol concentration at which it is considered safe to operate a vehicle. Experienced drivers are affected by alcohol even if they have been driving for many years. New drivers are often more affected by alcohol than experienced drivers, because new drivers are still in the learning process.

Japan is the “grayest” nation in the world. Close to 30 percent of the population is over 65. The reason is its low birthrate, which has caused the population to contract since 2007.
With the birthrate in the United States also dropping, what are the implications of a shrinking population, and what lessons can be learned from Japan?
Guest: Motoko Rich, the Tokyo bureau chief for The New York Times.
- The contracting population in Japan poses a serious threat to the country’s economic vitality and the security of its social safety net.
- As Japan’s population shrinks and ages, rural areas are emptying out. In one childless village, two dozen adults compensate for the absence with the company of hundreds of giant handmade dolls.
- The birthrate in the United States declined for the sixth straight year in 2020 and has fallen by about 19 percent since its recent peak in 2007.

AST SpaceMobile has confirmed its plans to launch its BlueWalker 3 test satellite from Cape Canaveral, FL during the week of August 15, 2022.
The actual launch date remains subject to change and is contingent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, final testing, final integration, ground transport, timely readiness of the launch vehicle and other unknowns including, but not limited to, weather conditions or technical problems.
BlueWalker 3 carries a 693-square-foot phased array that is designed to test cellular broadband communications directly with standard mobile phones, from space, for the first time. AST SpaceMobile has invested approximately $85m in the satellite’s development and the company’s engineers have successfully conducted more than 800 ground tests with BlueWalker 3. To date, the company has over 2,300 patent and patent-pending claims in support of its technology. The BlueWalker 3 mission is expected to complete the company’s initial research and development programme and facilitate integration testing with mobile network operators around the world.
Abel Avellan, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile, said: “The launch of BlueWalker 3 is the culmination of years of effort by our engineers to let us test connecting the phone in your pocket, with no modifications to the phone, directly with one of our satellites in space. This revolutionary technology supports our mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by more than 5bn mobile subscribers today moving in and out of coverage, and bring cellular broadband to approximately half of the world’s population who remain unconnected. We want to close the gap between the digital ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’.”
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted AST SpaceMobile an experimental license that allows the company to test BlueWalker 3 satellite-to-phone connectivity in the United States at sites in Texas and Hawaii. Once BlueWalker 3 is operational, the company plans to conduct testing on five different continents, in coordination with leading mobile network operators like Vodafone, Rakuten Mobile, Orange and others. | <urn:uuid:1f637bb3-4501-4dad-a453-b9050267837f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://satelliteprome.com/news/ast-spacemobile-announces-launch-date-of-bluewalker3/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571909.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813051311-20220813081311-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.936971 | 425 | 1.648438 | 2 |
Our latest GIRFEC-related magnum opus has just been published, in which we have compared council claims in relation to the gathering and sharing of ‘wellbeing’ data on children and family members with information published on their websites.
Read our findings here: Comparison of council claims with published information
The Education and Skills Committee, who are considering our petition for a public inquiry into the human rights impact of GIRFEC policy, had requested assurances in November 2019 that legally inaccurate information sharing guidance (issued by the ICO in March 2013 and withdrawn in September 2016) was not being used. Their responses were received in January and February 2020, which we finally had sight of at the end of last month.
Thank you to all those who waded through the treacle of GIRFEC-related speak and spin published by the 32 authorities. The picture is far from rosy and much of the established practice contradicts the Supreme Court ‘named person’ ruling by blurring the threshold for interference with children’s rights and parental responsibilities and relying on pre-judgment guidance and training. Some did not appear to realise that Parts 4 & 5 of the Children and Young People Act 2014 are to be repealed, having never come into force.
Our findings have also highlighted the need for us to embark on a few more data gathering expeditions of our own, especially with regard to the SEEMiS ‘Wellbeing Application’, which has already raised concerns around the profiling of pupils and the default ‘overriding of consent’ to share information between ‘services’.

I’ve been noticing commands/keywords that were equal to VB6 are now deprecated and replaced with different ones with the same functionality.
Is this distancing from Basic dialects intentional or random ?
For example instr that was universal in all basic languages now is replaced with source.indexof .
Don’t they call that API2 ?
I would change the product name since this does not look like BASIC to me. But no one ask me, so…
They replaced .Text with .Value; Open Event —> Opening !!! Go figure.
Xojo inc. can change commands/keywords as much as they want; however, the Xojo language will always remain a (very powerful) BASIC dialect.
Nevertheless, with the right skills and talents, very versatile applications are possible with Xojo. Better a well-designed BASIC/Xojo application than a poorly designed one in another language.
I forgot to mention that despite from time to time I criticize Xojo, I love to use it and am happy with it.
The example of indexOf versus instr is because in API 2.00, this is zero based, as opposed to instr which is one based.
All similar commands in API 2.00 are zero based.
The idea behind API 2.00 is to have exactly the same language for all supported platforms: desktop, mobile, and web.
I don’t necessarily agree with the new syntax, but overall it is not that different from good old Basic. Sure, var instead of Dim has some Java flavor, but it does not change much the syntax.
Better even, API 1.00 compatibility remains, so if you have older sources, they should run just fine.
By the way, Basic is not that much of a unique and unchanged language. From AppleSoft Basic, Microsoft GWBasic and IBM Basica, to ZBasic, Visual Basic (VB6), Visual Basic (.Net), Basic4Android, B4i, and dozen others along the way, Xojo is far from being alone in a very large family of Basic inspired languages.
They already did. It hasn’t been REALbasic in a long time.
It was more irony than anything.
But API2 do not appears in 2013 like Xojo.
I never undestand the rename concept… all you get is an open door to mistakes.
Think about Istambul (est. 1930) whose name was… Byzantium, Constantinople… and was Christian land and is Turkish since 400 years ago…
We also had name changes in France (Paris [5th century] was Lutece [3rd century BCE])… but all others are far less known.
Troyan wars were in Greek Land. What is the actual name of that country nowadays ? Turkish…
What is Sri-Lanka (est. 1972) ? Ceylon (Tea of…) ! That was the last name change I heard about before API2
Having fun with name changes…
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I understand that the previous terms and commands which were changed were mostly a mess with strange abbreviations and conflicting and potentially confusing meanings for someone who wasn’t working with it every day. I was working with it every day and so I know all those things. Changing to all 0 based indexes and 1 based counts is a valid improvement. Changing the names to be more consistent seems like trying to make it easier to learn in the first place while only vaguely inconveniencing those of us who have been in here since before day 1. It really doesn’t doesn’t matter but it does slow me down on new projects and it is a minor annoyance that I encounter many dozens of times a day when starting up a new API2 project so I feel that. If I had spend as much time just using it as I have spent here complaining about it I’d not be feeling as much of that frustration
The odd thing is that Xojo STILL push the product like this:
I should be clear: I love Xojo. I built my business around it.
It’s much better than VB was.
But it would probably have thousands more users if VB people could have opened a project, tweaked a couple of things, and hit ‘run’
One of the core ideas behind RB/RS/Xojo has been to fully support both the “citizen programmers” and the “highly experienced developers”. No other product I’m familiar with has done such an excellent job.
BTW one of the reasons I’ve stuck with Xojo for so many years, myself, is that “I hate curly braces”. I don’t really know why for sure. Maybe it’s just my OCD. But I do believe quite a few of us here feel the same way.
This may relate to VB.NET, not the classical Visual Basic. | <urn:uuid:a411c29a-3150-4dbe-a028-82eb383c59ed> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://forum.xojo.com/t/distancing-from-basic-dialect/71448 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571198.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810161541-20220810191541-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.96052 | 1,091 | 1.929688 | 2 |
Knowing where to find ingredients is necessary for cooking and this is a task that we can do in Genshin Impact
What is the importance of getting ingredients in Genshin Impact?
It is simply a necessary task in this game, since cooking becomes a very important action, since it is necessary to be alive, therefore knowing where to find ingredients is necessary since it allows us to cook, and this makes our adventure can become somewhat less complex in a world where exploring is a necessary and interesting activity.
It is necessary to consider that the ingredients are vital when cooking and therefore it is necessary that you pay attention to the following:
To our good fortune, there is no shortage of ingredients here.
To get ingredients such as chips and grains it is only necessary to interact with the trees and some bushes.
There is a chance to harvest enemies and fallen animals.
When we get the ingredients we must go to the pots and press the Square button to include it in the inventory.
We can leave and then return, as there is no concern that some ingredient for our dishes may run out.
Knowing where to find ingredients allows us to have the possibility of preparing some attractive dishes, because here there are several favorable recipes, because the more difficult and demanding a recipe can be, the more favorable it will be for our character, since each one goes according to our situation, in such a way that it is necessary to do them in a suitable way to progress in this game, because here we get mushrooms, chicken skewers, ideal is to increase the possibility of doing damage or simply reviving the fallen members.
Super restorative food recipes, these are ideal for repeatedly healing the damage of an enemy's tanks to counter the damage that may be inflicted on a constant basis.
Recipes to increase statistics, these allow us to polish our characters to the point of achieving that they can become invincible.
Now that you know where to find ingredients it is time to launch this interesting search in Genshin Impact, because our adventure requires us to stay as healthy and strong as possible. | <urn:uuid:bdadd16d-c797-4c75-acb5-0f0d3726895b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://xboxplay.games/news/genshin-impact-where-to-find-ingredients-11264 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.946615 | 421 | 1.742188 | 2 |

If there is one thing that has become so emphasized in this age of information overload, it is that there will always be ways to become better. We are all capable of progress, growth, and going to the next level. In this episode, Julia Gentry and Travis Gentry reflect on Maya Angelou’s quote that goes, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” They talk about how we’re on this endless journey of learning and how much access we have to information that could help us become the best version of ourselves. Applying this to real-life experiences, Julia and Travis then relate this to fitness and having that accountability to put to action the things you know. At its core, knowledge is not power when not applied. We have to make the conscious decision to do better in order to be better if not the best.

Know Better, Do Better: How To Be The Best Version of Yourself
What’s the title of this episode?
When You Know Better, Do Better. It was stimulated by the Maya Angelou quote that I love which says, “Do the best that you can until you know better, and then when you know better, do better.” We’re going to talk about that. I want to caution people, myself included. You and I have, over the years, trained ourselves because we know that the minute we start asking questions, we’re going to be responsible for the answers that we’re going to find. It’s like be careful what you wish for and be careful of the answers that you look for because there is this whole idea that when you know better, you’re going to need to do better.
You struggle with that and we have to. We’ll give examples in our own personal life but just because you know it, doesn’t mean you do it.
That’s why I want to caution people because we’ve trained ourselves to think this way.
Now it irritates us if we don’t do better. Once we know better, we’re like, “Let’s do this.” Unless you’re consciously aware of that, you get new information. We’re in the information age but it’s almost like the information overload age. We have so much information out there. Now, there’s inaction with the information that we have because you’re deciphering, and depending on what you’re looking at, you can see 2 or 3 different perspectives on one thing.
Let’s talk about the information age. What we’re meaning is that you can get online and google any question that you have, and there will be pages upon pages of answers on how to make more money, how to lose weight, best places to live, how to have more passion in a marriage, and how to be healthier. It doesn’t matter. Almost any question that you could pose, it’s going to have pages and pages upon results. The problem is it’s almost like we’re googling more but we know less because there’s so much information.
I don’t know about know less, you just do less because it’s almost analysis paralysis. If you’re standing there and you look at four different paths, and you’re like, “Per the information I know now, I could go down now these paths,” as opposed to starting to walk down one to see and you don’t act on any of them.
If I could use the word no or if I could italicize the word no, that’s what I mean. Cognitively, we know a lot but we know less. We were falling prey to what everybody else is doing, and all the suggestions, input, and Google Search terms that now, I personally italicized know less. I’m losing my own voice because I’m listening to all these other voices, opinions, and other ways to do things, which in theory are there to help, but now I’m losing my own voice, which means I’m doing less. We’re going to talk about that.
Where’s that showing up in your life? Give an example. It’s almost like from consciously incompetent to consciously competent where you know something. Health and nutrition is an easy one because you can look at it from working out. There’re many different styles and ways to work out. With the workout as coupled with food and nutrition, there’re many ways like to eat, not to eat, take supplements, not to take supplements, fasting, and not fasting, and all these things.
My example and why we’re doing this in the gym is because we’re going to talk about some principles. One that I wrote about in the book but was established in one conversation that we had in the RV, which was the lifting until failure. I remember when I was trying to gain more muscle tone that I wasn’t even willing to google how to do it. Because we were onto ourselves, even a couple of years ago back then, I wasn’t even willing to google how to change up what was happening because I wasn’t getting any results. I was running harder, cycling faster, and lifting more weights quicker. I was doing more of what I had already been trying to do.
I remember when I walked in and I was venting because it meant if I googled it and if I asked you your input, I consciously and unconsciously knew that you’re going to give me an answer that’s going to ruffle my feathers. I’m going to have to do something and I’m going to know better so I’m going to have to do something different. I can’t control it. I have to try something new. I have to lift heavier weights, which quite honestly makes me uncomfortable.
I don’t know if you did. I don’t know if you consciously knew. It’s almost like sometimes, you don’t even know the right question to ask. You’re like, “I’m going to keep doing the same thing and if I do more, I get more.”When we start asking questions, we're going to be responsible for the answers we're going to find. Click To Tweet
I was afraid of being wrong and then feeling weak and a new way. I catch myself in this habit. The minute that I start to feel like I’m doing something wrong and then it imposes that if I start changing away, I’m not going to be good at doing it. I find that that’s a real slippery slope for me so I will even avoid the answer, the truth.
That’s different. That’s interesting because we’ve talked about this many times. The fact of not asking as opposed to saying, “I’m going to do more of what I’m doing to get the result,” as opposed to when I made that comment of lifting until failure. Your interpretation is you’re wrong so you’re doing it wrong. You had nothing to do with, “It’s great information. I’m not lifting until failure,” because of the results that you wanted. You’re not looking to do a triathlon or Ironman so you need the endurance, so you’re not necessarily looking to go to failure. You’re looking to build muscle so you are doing more reps at a lower weight as opposed to saying, “No, I want to build muscle so I’m going to shift that.”
This is what happens in this process of like, “I have to know that.” It says, “Do the best that you can until you know better,” which implies there’s always going to be a better. That’s why I love her quote if you take it and piece it apart. In a spirit of excellence, do the best that you can until you know better, which is about progress, growth, and going to the next level. There’s always more for growth. We have people ask us that all the time, “When are you going to be done?” We’re like, “Never,” because then that would imply we’re never done growing, learning, and trying. We’re never going to be done. It implies that until you know better, then when you know better, do better.
Here’s where this could happen is that if I start to know better, it implies that everything that I’ve been doing has been wrong. I’m not saying this is accurate. If I know something different, I’m going to have to do something different, which totally means that maybe I’m doing everything wrong. Now there’s accountability and you’re going to have to do better, and that implies accountability. That’s “hard.” I even remember when you asked me, “Julia, are you lifting until failure?” I could see myself at the gym looking at myself in the mirror going, “No, because that would imply that that hurts.”
It is interesting because I love that. I like it when I can’t get anymore. I’m not looking to pick up a weight, do a bunch of reps, put it down, and be like, “I want to see.”
I like high intensity so I’ve been getting my intensity burn. My life of working out flashed before my eyes because that was not the way I was approaching it, and it didn’t mean it was wrong. I’m still getting a good workout and it’s still good for my heart. I still have a fine physique and all the things, but I knew that what got me to where I am wasn’t going to get me to where I needed to be, which means I was going to have to go back to the gym, do things differently, and lift until failure at a different way.
Which is in all areas of your life.
We’re talking about fitness and I’m turning this over. We are not going to be talking about fitness any longer. We are going to be taking this concept and putting it in every area of your life.
We’ve developed that habit and practice and yes, the truth will piss you off before it sets you free. When you have new information and you feel all the emotions behind like, “I’m wrong and I’m stupid. I’m not good enough,” it’s because you are doing it wrong with new information and I get that. There are many areas, whether it’s finances or relationships. When you feel like you’ve been doing something wrong and practicing something that hasn’t gotten you the result, there’s emotion behind it. As opposed to taking it as feedback and information and saying, “Now I can be better at this. Now I can do something and have a better relationship. Now I can figure out my finances as opposed to hiding from it, and fix the holes.”
Let me ask you this because I heard you say this one time, and I don’t remember who you were talking to, but you had made a comment. They had said, “Travis, I don’t know how to do that.” Your comment to them was, “I say this with as much love as possible. Did you know how to wipe your butt when you were a kid? No, you learned. Did you know how to ride a bike when you were 3, 4 or 5? No. What did you do? You learned.” What you were trying to do is to dumb down something that’s like, “Of course, I wipe my butt. Of course, I ride my bike now.” You were taking them back to this like, “You learned it.”
In those moments when you go, “I don’t know what to do next. I don’t know how to do that,” that moment that feels hard could be the opportunity to lift until failure. What is that barrier for people? It’s because they could google it. We’re in the information age and I could google how to lose money, make more money, and have more passion. Almost any question, we could google to find any answer. There are probably a million books written about the topic.
The Bible probably has loads of information on different things. There are counselors, therapists, and all the different things. Do them all. For the person that’s like, “Travis, I don’t know how to start a business. I don’t know how to connect in a conversation with my wife.” When we’re taking this to other parts of our lives, what is that space? If we were sitting here 100 years ago without all the information that we have now, may be fair, but what is that space? What’s happening potentially?
It’s understanding your deep-rooted beliefs so you’re not taking action or seeking the biggest shifts that we’ve had in our life. We’re on this journey and path to seek out mentors, even in our lives. If you don’t have a mentor in your life that has the results and the fruit of whatever it is, they can exponentially help you speed up that learning curve and get you the results that you want. There are certain things that you can google or YouTube. You’re self-sufficient and you can figure it out. If you have someone that can come alongside you, guide you, and point out all the things that you can’t see because you’re in the midst of it and they have the fruit, then you don’t make it mean anything about you.
That’s what you saw. You hit on the belief thing. We’re getting into tactics of what’s one thing that you could do, but there is something there about what keeps us from getting clear. Even to that point of like, “Before I decided to get to gain muscle tone or before I spent 3 or 4 months exhausting myself, running the track harder and doing all the things, before I even started, what stopped me from going, ‘I’m going to ask Travis because he’s got a dope body. I’m going to ask him what he does and his mindset.’ I’m going to google even how skinny girls get more muscle tone because I got to figure out more body tones that are similar to mine. I could line up all of the things in my favor to get the results that I want. Why did I not even do that? Why don’t we stack the cards in our favor?”
That’s where you start to break down, “Why am I not?” What is the belief behind why I would not make a phone call or send someone an email saying, “I need help. I need a coach and a mentor,” or asking someone that you already know?
Call your own bluff. Figure out what it is.
Sometimes you’ll have friends that have the fruit in their life that you want and you don’t ask them. They’re the last person you ask.
It’s because you feel stupid and competent.
“I should know this already.”
“Now they’re going to know that I don’t know what I’m doing and then they won’t want to be friends with me.” “They judge me because they know more than I do in this area.”
That’s the silliest thing, someone asking you if you know something.
It’s like the biggest compliment.
It’s like, “Awesome.” Most people are open like, “I’d love to share with you how I do what I do. I’ve been waiting for someone to ask. I have the information. Let’s sit down. I’ll help you.” We’ll map this out.
If I look, there are probably three things that have gotten in my way. The first is my ego wants to be right. To your point, my belief. “I want to be right that I’ll never make it. I want to be right that you’ll judge me. I want to be right that I can’t have what I want. I want to be right about whatever I believe,” because we’d like to be right. Nobody likes to be wrong. That was it for me. Number two is then once I asked you the question and you give me the answer, then I’m responsible. If you believe in this whole mentality of know better, do better like, “I’m accountable for what I know, not what I think I know,” then there’s a responsibility factor, which means I got to level up my game.We're never done growing.

Now I need to talk to you more kindly because I know how. Now I need to learn how to manage my money because I know how. Now I need to learn how to build the business because I got all the tools. It’s a responsibility thing, and then the third is I have to get outside my comfort zone. At the gym, even though I know how to kick my own butt like nobody else’s business and I can keep up cardio wise with you, that’s still my zone of comfort. If I change lanes and I start doing weights, I’m now uncomfortable. I’m outside of my zone of safety, security, and stability, and I am uncomfortable in what I’m doing. Those three things every time.
How often do we as people surround ourselves in certain areas that are less than us?
To make ourselves feel better.
“I’m not as heavy as them.” “My relationship is better than their relationship,” as opposed to saying, “I want to seek out people that have this amazing marriage. Their kids are well behaved and they respect and love each other.”
I want to be humble enough to say, “Tell me how you got here. Tell me how you have these results in your life,” but it goes back to those three points. “I’ve got to get out of the whole ego. I need to be right.” Because the minute I say to you, “Tell me what you’re doing because I’m not doing something,” that’s one thing in my life.
It’s amazing the story that we play out in our heads, whether it’s me or someone else. You’re saying, “They’re going to think less of me.” I didn’t think about it. More people care about themselves than they do you. It’s not like I’m going to be like, “Julia doesn’t know to lift until failure.” How often do we do that? It’s funny that I’m even saying that now because there are different areas of my life where I’m like, “I shouldn’t know at all.” You’ll never know it all but there’s a shift when we come out of school because the whole point of going to school is to learn something. You go sit in a classroom and the teacher teaches you a topic. Do they expect you to know the topic? No, of course not, so you go sit there and you learn. You go to college and you pay way too much for someone to teach you more, and then you get out of college and you believe for some reason that you should know everything about finances, relationships, and raising kids. As opposed to saying no.
You’re at the beginning of the journey of knowledge and applied knowledge. Not just like gathering information. There’s a lot of smart people out there that are broke. There’s a lot of knowledgeable people out there that are overweight, so knowledge is not power. It’s applied knowledge, practice, and understanding. It’s like working out. How you’re working out, the food, when you eat, and all that. You may try something and it may not work.
It doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.
It just maybe doesn’t work for you because of your body type or finances. It’s like flipping a house. You flip one house and you do something wrong and you’re like, “This doesn’t work. It doesn’t work this way,” as opposed to saying, “Here’s how I want to do it. Who’s doing it this way?” Calling, emailing, and being in front of them and saying, “I love what you’re doing. I love the fruit in your life. Can you please help me? I don’t know what I don’t know.”
It’s almost like, “Do you believe that a growth mentality is innately in someone or someone creates that within themselves?” Even that documentary that we watched with the Iron Cowboy where he did 50 Ironmans in 50 states in 50 days. I loved every minute of it. One of the things that he said is that, and this was after he had done 20 Ironmans in a year, and then 30 or whatever, he finished and was like, “Why do I still feel unfulfilled?” He’s about growth and he said he knew that he hadn’t reached his own full potential.
That takes a little bit of time to know that about yourself. That’s a level of awareness that takes some time to recognize that. The minute he said that, everything in me was like, “I felt that way.” Not because his results aren’t amazing. How many people could run 30 triathlons in their whole entire lifetime, let alone a year? He wasn’t looking at his results and saying, “It was unfulfilling in general.” He just knew that he hadn’t found his limits.
The way he said it in the context, I was like, “That’s true.” There is sometimes underlying and I do it where there’s a comparison to make myself feel good for the moment. If you stay in that place, you block the potential of what you have because you can be around someone that’s better than you and judge yourself. You can be around someone that’s less than you in that whatever context and judge them and make yourself feel good.
Also, judge yourself based upon where you were ten years ago or the whole thing.
Being right where you’re at and saying, “Did I show up? Did I do the best that I possibly could with the information that I have?” The answer should be yes, and then you look around for inspiration and for someone that has more fruit in that area of life, and saying, “There is more.” It’s up to you to say, “Am I at my capacity?”
That’s what I want to talk about because I love that he said he knew he wasn’t looking at somebody else. He said, “I knew that I hadn’t pushed the envelope. I hadn’t found my edge.” To the point of you got to do better until you know better, which there has to be this growth mentality around there is more. “There is more that I could know. There is a better version of me at all times. Not in comparison and not because of what the world is doing but because I know innately that there’s something more in me to give more, to love more, do more, and be all the things.” Is a growth mentality in everybody? In a few, or is it developed? How do you even get to that first hump? It’s this acknowledgment that there is more. Do better until you know better could be more and then when you know what the more is, do it. That first hump, how do you instill and develop a growth mindset?
You’ve got to want it. You’ve got to want more innately.
Is that innately in people?
It can be. We’ve done this in our life where we’ve settled for a season. You get comfortable and complacent, and it’s good enough as opposed to saying like, “I want more because I know I can do more.” David Goggins talks about it, where you’ve got 40% more. If you haven’t read his book or watch some of his stuff, he’s awesome. He’s a beast. His mindset, callus your mind, and he’s intense. I love that about him. He’s not for everybody. He’s truthful. He talks about that though where you have that 40% more. You’ve got to want to test that for yourself though. I can’t come and say, “You can do more,” even though I know you could do more. You’ve got to want to do more and believe that you can do more, and then what is it that you could do more.
Let’s make sure that we make this clear for anyone that’s going to be reading because I was even talking with a girlfriend one time who went through our six-week course. She said, “Juliet, I didn’t know that more was available to me.” I want to talk to those people. Part of it was a protective mechanism and part of it was like, “You just do what you’ve always done.” She lived in the same city her whole life. She’s worked at the last same job for the last decade and all of those things.
I want to give people the opportunity to look up for a minute and go, “There’s so much more.” To the person sitting there going, “I don’t know what’s possible.” It’s easy to get to that black hole of like, “This is my life. This is just the way that it is. This is the way that it’s always been.” I want to speak to those people because it’s important to know that growth is a choice and it is a mindset. It is taking that excuse off the table so you can see that it’s limitless.
Do you think it was that she didn’t know? It’s because she ended up in the six-week course so she knew. She just didn’t know the right questions and the community to support her and challenge her. She knew that there was more because she wouldn’t have found us or it could have been 4 or 5 other YouTube, podcasts or whatever. She was already like, “There’s something stirring in me. There is more,” and then you take that first step so she was willing.
For her and for most people, pain and pleasure are the two greatest motivators. For most, it’s pain. She hit rock bottom and it forced her to have to look up. When you’re at the bottom, you either go straight down or you look up and go, “I need oxygen.” When you look up and you’re able to go, to your point, “Somebody else is living their best life. Why not me?” “Somebody else is making $1 million doing what they love.” “Somebody else is traveling the country in an RV.” “Somebody else has run the four-minute mile.” “Somebody else has lost 100 pounds.”
Even just starting there, it’s possible. We’d put our feet on the moon. It’s a reminder to look up and google. The news is saturated and horrible. All the bad things that are happening, doom, and gloom. The Bergens are coming. Social media is all about, “Look at me and everything that I’m doing.” What if you just googled the coolest things that people have done in their life or watch documentaries of things that looked impossible to some but became possible?
If you don’t take the time and the space to hear your own inner voice, you can get overwhelmed with everybody else because there’s so much out there. To me, it’s the first step of taking the time. If you haven’t read Miracle Morning, read that book. It gives you perspective to take the time, set your intention for the day, and practice new habits. You may not follow everything in it but he’s created an awesome community and people that are pinging each other. It’s practicing new habits but it’s allowing yourself space, setting your intention for the day, and doing something different that day than you’ve done the previous day.Knowledge is not power when not applied. Click To Tweet
Here’s what I would say in that mindset space, and I talked about this in the book. Space by yourself is scary for most people because it’s quiet.
It’s easy to busy yourself.
We’re used to busy, the mind chatter, and compare so we’re used to things. When you go into this space, the thing I want you to meditate on is that Bible verse that says, “Anything/everything is possible for the one who believes.” That doesn’t say some things. That doesn’t say just for you because you’re born in this country with these people. There’s no basis around that. That doesn’t have to do with the color of the skin or your political party. It says, “Anything and everything is possible for the person who believes.”
Because when you believe and you don’t doubt, it’s the doubt that’s indecisive like, “Do I believe? Do I not believe? Look at what they have. I can never do it. Now I’m in fear mode down and I’m worried. Now I’m done.” If you can go into this space and go, “I’m going to hang my hat in my life on a principle that says anything is possible for the person who believes,” even if you’re not a believer, you’re like, “That’s true.” The person who said it was impossible to run the four-minute mile, it was until someone did it or Iron Cowboy. Even his trainer was like, “This is impossible but I’ll train you.” Iron cowboy said, “No, it’s possible.” He believed.
At one point, one of the sponsors was like, “No, I’m going to do it. I’m not going to just try. I’m not just showing up to see if I can do it. I will do it.”
That’s the difference. I love it when people are like, “I’ll try that advice.” You’re like, “You’re going to try it until it gets hard.” This is the lift until failure concept so let’s use this. I love the idea of lifting until failure until I have to because we could talk about this and you go, “Yes, I’m going to do that,” and then the minute that you start doing push-ups and you look up and you go, “I can’t do another one.” Someone looks at you and goes, “Do one more.” In any area of your life like picking up that phone and making that call or having that hard conversation.
Those hard moments like, “This is the moment right here. The Gentry we’re talking about where growth happens because if I don’t lift until failure, I don’t stretch the muscle enough, which means it’s not going to break itself down to build itself back up again to be stronger.” I can’t just say, “I’m going to try to do that,” because the minute it gets hard because it will, it’s supposed to get hard. The pushup is supposed to be hard because it’s breaking down your tissue to get them stronger again. If I’m just going to try, I’m not going to do it as opposed to him where he was like, “No, we are going to do this. I am going to do this.” He rallied a whole team around him.
He fell asleep riding his bike and crashed.
His team got him up and got him back on the bike. He had people around him that didn’t go, “You might die.”
There are a few doctors that advised him.
His core team was like, “We got to do this.”
It comes back to, you have to have a community that supports you and challenges you. Many of our friends are often that you seek to find what you want so you can go and have a good conversation with someone they challenge you. You go have another conversation with a couple of other people that are against that and you’re like, “That’s good. I’m not going to do that. Flipping houses is impossible.”
“You’re going to lose how much weight? That’s hard.”
“You’re going to make how much money? You can’t do that. You’re going to quit your job.”
If you thought about X, Y, and Z. Let’s talk about this process. We’re saying this in our own areas of life, too. You have to create some space to quiet all the chatter that’s going on around you so you can hear what’s going on within you. The big mantra, Bible verse, challenge and you need to slap up on the wall when you go, “What’s possible?” Anything and everything to the one who believes. You have to believe it and you have to go, “Growth is possible. This is possible for me.” The Bible says, “Faith of a mustard seed.” Small seeds on the planet, so we’re not talking about gigantic amounts of faith. I have to now take the step to go, “I don’t know how to do this. I’m going to figure out how to do it, and then once I know how to do it, I’m going to do it.”
That’s why we’re sitting in the gym. It’s the same concept of, if you don’t work out and then you go to the gym, and you’re like, “I want to do 75-pound curls,” you don’t start there. You start with 15, 20 or 25 and you work your way up. We don’t value the same as your mind, body, and spirit of knowing, “I have to work that as much as physically.” There’s always a battle in your mind. There’s always evil me. Evil me wakes up before me every single day and tells me all the things that I can’t do. If you don’t have the right community, people, belief, and understanding that, “I need to take one step today,” and then understand sometimes, you’re going to take a couple of steps and you’re going to stay there.
You have to be like, “I need a break. I’m getting a little maxed out.” It’s like working out, you can’t work out every single day and get the results. You have to take a break. You have to rebuild it. The same thing with your mind. Mentally, as you start on this journey or as you start to gain new information and take some steps, have grace on yourself, too, of like, “I need some space. I need a day or two, and then I’m going to start moving forward.”
Knowing that we have limits and there is a time like working out that you’ve got to take a day to rest. I remember the time that I got my wisdom teeth taken out and it kicked my butt. I was out for a week and a half. I remember when I finally got back into the gym a couple of weeks later, it felt like you might as well have started all the way over again. It’s almost like that concept of, “You don’t want to rest long.” It’s like, “Let your body rest, let it recover, and do what it needs to do but you’ve got to know that there is a window that if you don’t get back at it again. Get back out trying, failing, asking questions, finding the mentor, or having that conversation with your spouse or your friend.” If you don’t get back in the game, all of a sudden, you might as well start back over. There’s this window of rest, but not so long that I just stop. It’s like this beautiful dance with yourself, and everybody’s different but you have to know those edges of, “Don’t burn out. We want this to last, but then don’t stay out of the game so long that you lose that momentum.”
It’s like the concept of, put your hands to work for six days and take a day of rest.
Here’s what we do. We either go to the zone of playing God, and I’m guilty of this. “I’m going to work for seven days. I’m going to grind it out.” There are many grinders. I follow a lot that is all about this grinding, and if I’m not careful, that would be me. “I would push hard, and there is a God and maybe it’s me,” as opposed to, “There is a God and I am not him.” “Do sixteen Julia, but you don’t have to do seventeen. There are not even seventeen days in a week.” God, Himself, rested.
It’s also their capacity and I love the content that they put out there. They grind it. That’s their makeup.
We could probably go too far in that. There is that but God. There’s a willpower zone and there is like, “I’m going to show up and do my part but I also believe in a God who’s going to do His part, which is beyond willpower.” To the point of being able to rest.Anything and everything is possible for the person who believes. Click To Tweet
A lot of those people that grind it out also have a massive team that is helping them and they’ve been practicing that muscle for a long time. You can’t compare yourself to someone that whether it’s content or whatever, they’re putting out a massive amount. You have to work your way into it.
I mean the actual message of grinding it out, where it could be forwarded to people like, “You’re pushing hard.” This is a lot of the people that I’ve worked with that are making a ton of money and they are grinding it out and they’re exhausted. They know it’s not sustainable. It’s the concept of, “I’m working out every day trying to get there, even though I don’t know where there is. Making more money and having more stuff, and I’m exhausted.” There’s that but what we’re talking about is a little bit of going, “How do you ensure that you’re still resting, not just in a willpower grind it zone, but then also knowing that but don’t stop for too long?”
You can grind in the context of like, “You can keep your head down and grind to then wake up in 1, 2, 3 years later and realize you’re on the wrong mountain. You’ve climbed the wrong hill.” We’re jumping all over the place and I love it. It’s understanding when to push and when to grind, but make sure you’re grinding in the right way, and when to rest. It’s different for everybody, seasons of life.
My hope in this is that all of this is going to land. A truth bomb comes and you’re listening to something that sounds good, you’re like, “I like this. I jive with it,” and then all of a sudden, someone says something and you’re like, “I’ve been avoiding that.” Someone reading is going to go, “I know that I need to be doing my morning quiet time and I’m not doing it.” That’s it. Another is going to go, “I’m in the willpower zone and I’m exhausted and I’m not resting.” There it is. Another is going to say, “The lift until failure, I don’t want to be uncomfortable.” My hope is that all of these overarching principles, there is the one that lands for you. Here’s the whole goal of this. When you know better, do better. When one of these things lands for you, you write it down, whatever the one is, and then move forward on that one thing because that’s the whole concept of what we’re talking about.
Do one thing a day that’s different than you did the day before, and then 365 days later, you just practiced 365 new habits, patterns, or trials. It’s not going to be like, “You try this and you get the results.” You may have to try a few different things and figure out what works for you. If you look at that in one area of your life and you try one new thing with your spouse of how you interact or what you say or how you say it. If he tried one little thing for the whole year, you just practiced 365 different ways to show up with your spouse. I guarantee you probably found a dozen of them that you were like, “That’s amazing.”
You double down on those until you’ve got to refresh it again. That’s the compound.
The compound on those twelve. Not tried to do all of them but like, “This work. The results and response that I’m getting are that our relationship is getting better so I’m going to keep doing those and I’m going to get rid of a few things that aren’t serving me.” Try one thing if there’s one awareness or one thing that you’ve been wanting to seek out or understand. I would also say as you start on this journey, if there is something that you want to learn and do, surround yourself with someone that has the fruit in their life. Get a mentor and get a community that supports you and challenges you to step up to the plate and not just make you feel good. It’s easy to call someone to be like, “I work two days on this thing. I’m going to take a day off.” If you’re around in the wrong community, they’re going to support you instead of someone saying, “No, do it again.” You’ll start to appreciate it.
This is something that we’re even impressing upon our kids. I even had to correct them on a few things and the last thing I turned around, I said to all of them, “When you know better.” They all three looked at me and they said, “Do better.” This is something in my hope that evokes such a heightened level of ability. Even as a country and as a world, there’s so much division and there are many different agendas. There’s a lot of fear at a bigger level of who’s going to drive this country and where our world is going to go but each one of us can become more aware and take more responsibility for being the best version of ourselves.
I know this sounds silly, but be the change that you want to see in the world. We’re going to have to start. We can’t wait for the top to move its way down. It’s like, “I have to be able to go. I need to know more so when I know more, I can do more.” That’s where we’re going to see change. We encourage you with this idea that to develop a growth mindset and then once you know that the possibilities are there, there is more out there because there always is. When you start to grab onto this whole idea that anything is possible, then you move into the zone of knowing more, and then once you know more, do more. Once you know better, do better.
We appreciate you joining us and I would say we’re super excited. We’ve got some big news. We’ll do it on our next episode. Stay tuned on that and we’ll probably do a whole episode about it.

Until recently, the commodities market was largely seen as the domain of producers and sophisticated traders.
Not so any more: Rising inflation and the war in Ukraine are stark reminders of how commodities – and the markets, climate and geopolitics that govern them – affect us all.
We’ll break all these forces down in the weeks ahead, but today let’s begin with the basics: Commodities are raw materials or agricultural products that can be bought and sold. Commodities of the same grade are fungible (or interchangeable – we are hearing about non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, lately so this may help to identify the difference).
Commodities are divided into the following groups:
- Energy including oil, gas and derivatives, as well as coal;
- Metals including base (or industrial) and precious;
- Agricultural products including corn, soybean, as well as lumber;
- Livestock including beef, pork and poultry.
A commodity’s price goes up the more it is needed or the scarcer it becomes. Conversely, commodities that are abundant or not in demand will see their prices fall. A rising and falling cycle of pricing is common throughout the commodity complex. We will dig deeper into this as we discuss individual commodities in later columns.
Commodities are traded on a futures market (such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange); futures contracts can be used for price protection or for speculation. For example, a sawmill owner may buy a futures contract to lock in lumber prices for its production, whereas a trader may believe a commodity is going up in price and takes a speculative (”long”) position.
Individual commodities are priced daily and the most widely followed index is the CRB (Commodity Research Bureau) Index, which tracks 19 commodities. The accompanying chart shows the Federal Reserve global price index of all commodities since 2003. We see a few points of interest here, especially the 2008-09 market drop, and again in 2014-15, and certainly the rapid rise since March of 2020.
What’s been happening recently?
Commodity prices have been spiking. The U.S. Federal Reserve and the war in Ukraine both play major roles.
As part of the response to COVID, in March, 2020, the Fed cut its federal funds rate by 1.5 percentage points to essentially zero and commenced another quantitative-easing program to steady the bond market. Both of these actions were purposefully inflationary. Higher inflation means a weaker currency so commodities that are priced in that currency rise in price.
To put all of this in perspective, both the U.S. two- and 10-year Treasuries are in the range of between 2 per cent and 2.5 per cent, whereas inflation in Canada and the United States in February rose year over year, 5.7 per cent and 7.9 per cent, respectively. The implication is eroding purchasing power, with prices rising at between 6 per cent to 8 per cent, yet savings only generating 2.5 per cent. Wage inflation is also rising in both Canada and the U.S., which adds to demand for commodities, driving their prices higher.
The conflict in Ukraine is also having a direct impact on commodity prices. Ukraine supplies 11 per cent of the world’s wheat, 17 per cent of the world’s corn and about half of the global supply of semiconductor-grade neon gas. Russia produces 12 per cent of the world’s oil and 17 per cent of the world’s wheat.
Availability of both wheat and corn from Ukraine are expected to be diminished significantly this year because of the war, while international sanctions are limiting the demand for Russian commodities (although we are hearing of countries such as India buying Russian oil at a discount).
A broader humanitarian concern is diminished food availability in countries with low reserves.
There are a myriad of influences affecting commodity prices. We will delve into more detail on a specific commodity in the next column.

Course was Organized and Updated: June 2019
Want a simple easy to use no prep lesson? This is a one page graphic organizer word document with a two page reading comparing and contrasting the Jamestown and Plymouth Colonies. I typically give half my class one colony and the other half the other colony. They read the attached reading and complete half the chart and then we share aloud with the class. You can also pair share the activity. This makes for a really nice supplemental lesson, substitute plans, or homework.
This is a jigsaw lesson on the causes of the American revolution. It is a graphic organizer with reasons and reactions from the American and British perspective. I put my students into groups they read a short reading about their assigned cause, complete the assigned section on the chart, and then teach the class about their topic. This assignment was created in Word and can easily be adapted and modified for your classroom.
One of my favorite units to teach about is World War II. I love showing how the US was able to enter the war and how the effects of the war are still very much present today. I love teaching with this World War II homefront stations lesson. With this fast 55 minute lesson kids are engaged in a variety of resources on the US homefront from rationing to women entering the workforce, to Japanese discrimination to African American enfranchisement. My kids ask for stations since the class period seems so different. They are engaged in primary sources, World War II posters, and videos on the homefront in one class day if you are teaching a survey course it is very helpful.
The World War II Escape Room will take students on a secret mission around the classroom! This escape room has students decode interesting facts about World War II. This is the perfect resource to introduce or review FDR, Pearl Harbor, Hitler and the Holocaust. The World War II Escape Room has students walking around the classroom breaking codes. Students are given a secret code name and sent on a secret mission to restore Anne Frank’s Diary. The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit code based on the decoders/clues.
These World War II sensory figures can be printed in black and white or color, and the set includes the seven most prominent leaders of World War 2. A sensory figure is a drawing of a historical, living, or fictional figure with first-person descriptions of what they might have thought, seen, heard, touched, said, felt, or otherwise experienced during their lifetime. Students “show what they know” about the figure by writing 1-2 sentence descriptions for their figure’s thoughts, feelings, and actions. After writing the descriptions, students connect them to the part of the body to which it most closely relates. For example, a feeling might be connected to the heart. The descriptions should be specific to the historical figure’s life, not generic statements that could apply to anyone. Students should be encouraged to address several topics in their descriptions instead of repeating information.
This World War II Documentary activity allows each student to become an expert on one topic from WWII. They create a 2 minute video clip with footage and voice-overs to explain the topic. All clips are then combined into one large documentary that covers World War II. In this resource, you receive the project sheet, participation and overall rubrics, suggested topic sheet, and research graphic organizer.
18+ ready-to use digital notebook pages on World War II are great for your World War 2 unit. Students learn about and analyze topics related to World War II such as leaders, the Allies and the Axis, and the Japanese internment camps
I am not a fan of military history so I teach the battles using this two page handout about the key turning points of WWII in a graphic organizer. Students can complete this with the internet or with a textbook. It is a nice review of a unit or reinforcement of key concepts.
Here are some wonderful resources that are free!!!
This is a two page reading and questions about Brown vs. Board of Education. This would make a great reinforcement activity, substitute plans, or homework. This was designed in Word and is fully editable. You can use it as is or modify it if you want!
This is the World War II Home-front 5 stations lesson. This lesson has tons of images, primary documents, graphics, and details about life on the home-front during World War II. There is a handout provided that students carry around and complete at each station, which is clearly labeled to keep them organized. This is a print and use stations lesson! No need to modify unless you want to 🙂 The class period goes so fast with stations! This is one of my favorite lessons!
It was designed in a PDF to keep the formatting. If you want to modify it, please email me I can send it to you in Word- email@example.com

Charley Bravo - 12/21/11
The dissolution of Iraq into chaos, perhaps alongside and in sync with Syria, threatens to plunge the Middle East into a humanitarian and political nightmare. If a fear of this fate conjured prudence for the first Bush Administration in its decision not to advance on Baghdad, serious labours for the sake of a viable government in Iraq seemed oddly absent in the minds of the invaders of 2003. This lapse, more than anything else, best underscores the contempt observers felt upon witnessing George W. Bush's "Mission Accomplished" theatre.
Rather than seriously confront the fears of 1991, the younger Bush went into Iraq stoked with a contempt for nation building. The State Department was marginalized as appointments and duties, ostensibly for the sake of rebuilding Iraq, were made on the basis of loyalty and graft. A government, as in Afghanistan, was allowed to come to be on the basis of religious and ethnic fault lines, motivated seemingly by the dreamy notion that stable democracy is a phenomenon that jumps fully fledged like a rabbit out of history's magic hat.
Once you've suspended everything else, bracketing principle and established international norms which should have prevented war in the first place, forgetting the one thing that might conceivably justify means on the merits of praxis or the shoulders of "can do" indicates an astonishing insobriety. Neocon imagination must reel facing up to the scale of oblivion and naiveté - so much so that the hopeless task of painting Bush as a tragic hero will morph into scapegoating and charges of "ownership".
Yesterday Martin Chulov reported for the Guardian that Sunni leaders warn of sectarian chaos in Iraq all amidst a growing anger at President Nouri al-Maliki and potential competing allegiances to Syrian factions next door.
Sunni disillusionment at the reorientation of power in post-Saddam Iraq was a significant driver of the insurgency that ravaged the [Anbar] province from 2004 to 2007. Since the fall of Saddam's regime, the country's majority Shias had taken a commanding voice in national affairs. With the Allawi alliance there was some chance, albeit a faint one, that Sunnis might reclaim some lost power. Not any more. "That's all finished," said a senior western diplomat in Baghdad.
Jim Muir writing for the BBC on the crisis surrounding Iraq's beleaguered Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi notes:
Barely had the last American soldier stepped across the border into Kuwait than the fragile Iraqi political structure the US military left behind began to fall dangerously apart, as long-standing tensions between Shia and Sunni political leaders came to a head.
The most dramatic symptom of the exploding crisis is the fact that Iraq's most senior Sunni Arab politician, Tariq al-Hashemi, is effectively a fugitive. While he hides out under Kurdish protection in the north, the entire al-Iraqiyya political bloc to which he belongs has pulled out of both parliament and the cabinet.
The unscripted shockwaves of 2011 with their bright flashes of heroism may soon be a fond memory compared to the maelstrom of 2012. Iraq flying apart into gory throes of defacto partition, Syria unglued, Kurds looking for history's nod - and all around the edges: Turkey flexing new found muscle, Iran scheming as a hedge against constant threat, Gulf States throwing money at the altar of the status quo - and Israel, who can begin to guess any more? Between official deplorations from the State Department, the US may be relegated to crossing fingers that horrors don't extend to the Afpak region - while news consumers distract themselves with shows geared around the semantics of blame.

School districts would have to share local school construction and maintenance money with charter schools, according to an amendment filed by an influential state senator.
Sen. Don Gaetz, former Senate president, filed the amendment Tuesday. The amendment would require half of the money raised by an optional local property tax to be split between charter and traditional schools on a per-student basis.
Studies have found publicly funded but privately run charter schools typically receive less money per student than traditional public schools. A good piece of the difference in Florida is the local construction money — which few school districts share with charter schools. | <urn:uuid:4fd3dd03-f43c-4ae7-9a7a-d82485642d6f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fundeducationnow.org/amendment-would-give-charter-schools-a-share-of-school-construction-money/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.973954 | 118 | 1.625 | 2 |
The title of short story anthology Algiers, When the Town is Asleep from 2010 sounds like a tribute to John Huston’s feature movie The Asphalt Jungle from 1950. But, this is only an excuse, warns the publishing house, “to describe the city of Algiers in a way that avoids commonplace language.” True, the Algerian capital is too often depicted as a motionless seaside statue, indifferent to its own wounds.
The seven Algerian authors who contributed to this anthology re-imagine a city very different from the image of Algiers that has been captured by orientalist photographers. The book’s unexpected portrait has nothing to do with neither its one thousand year old casbah nor the Ottoman corsairs who used to wander its streets centuries ago. What links these texts together is not a nostalgic feeling for some long lost urban paradise, but rather a dense atmosphere emerging from a city where underground stories, daily crimes and urban violence are ever present.
This is not a collection of tales about a city written by unconditional lovers. This is not the Algiers of Mohammad Zinet’s 1971 movie Tahia ya Didou. In this book, the story of Algiers is told through the lives of its average citizens: a soldier who was wounded when defending his fatherland against a fictional threat (Kaouther Adimi); two young people looking for stolen moments of happiness in a tense social context (Hajar Bali); a police inspector leading a surrealist investigation to solve a transnational criminal affair (Habib Ayyoub); prostitutes, drug addicts and other socially marginalized characters (Chawki Amari); a man in love with a prostitute who he drives around town every night for her “business appointments” (Sid Ahmed Semiane); a vicious man who stalks his neighbors (Ali Malek); and a countryside man with an odd fascination for a transsexual “who deflowers those who want to marry her” (Kamel Daoud).
Apart from the Ali Maled and Kamel Daoud texts, these short stories all describe the nocturnal urban jungle from a similar perspective. They speak of a time when the city transforms itself into a shady kingdom, where only the Nomenklatura kids can move safely. Reading Algiers, When the Town is Asleep, one gets the impression that Algiers is a city still harshly marked by the violence of the civil war, with the screams from helpless victims and sadistic torturers still echoing in the streets (Chawki Amari’s story).
The only women out at night in the “nombril du monde” or “world’s nave” (the ironic title of Habib Ayyoub’s story), are the prostitutes and the reckless ones who dare trespassing the unwritten law that only males are allowed to walk the streets after dusk. These men are all desperate ones, looking for some tenderness in alcohol or prostitutes they find in bar after bar. Regarding the bars, they are all trous, or holes, (Le Troubeing the name of a shabby bistro featured in Hajar Bali’s story) open only to their regular crowd of outcast customers.
Algiers, When the Town is Asleep was a direct order from the book’s publisher, who was eager to release a collective of thriller novels set in Algiers. But, it seems that these pessimistic depictions of the city are more than a desire to show “another face” than that of politically correct literature. It appears to be a spontaneous output of a new “disillusioned” relation between Algerian writers and their urban areas; in contrast to the previous generation, for which these territories were symbols of a triumphing modernity and promising future. This new trend can be observed in several novels published during the last years, such as Sofiane Hadjadj’s Un si parfait jardin or Such a perfect garden from 2007, Adlène Meddi’s La prière du Maure or The Maure’s prayer from 2008, and Kaouther Adimi’s Des ballerines de papichaor Papicha’s ballet shoes from 2010.
Contemporary Algerian literature is more and more frequently conveying this dark description of Algiers and the city’s sins. As a literary tendency, this is more the sign of a common identity than a collection of personal hopelessnesses. At the core of this trend is a radical realism characterized by a deep sense of anxiety. And, with continuously ongoing tragedies, this identity is growing more and more subtle. For a country like Algeria – at the same time rich and impoverished, and constantly struggling to escape its predators – this is a search that is bound to continue. The quest for an identity goes on, making its way somehow between a fake authenticity and a superficial modernity.

This program looks at a bilingual education program in the Northern Territory set up by the Australian Department of Education, in which Aboriginal students are taught first to read and write in a language they understand. The aim of the program is to help these children see their language and culture as something worthwhile and so nurture their self-confidence and self-respect. However, both English and Aboriginal languages are used in the classroom, and as there are many different Aboriginal languages, subjects are taught in a language appropriate to the subject matter. It is to be noted that the director wrote at the time: "Despite the bilingual program, school is essentially a European institution, and the content of the film reflects this."
Not to Lose You, My Language was filmed at Milingimbi off the coast of East Arnhem Land, Yayayi in the Western Desert and Yuendumu in Central Australia. The story of the Sun and the Moon that is printed in the extract is told by Djawa, an elder from Milingimbi.

Plain Elementary Takes Top State Honors in ”First in Math“ Program
Plain Elementary School took first place honors in South Carolina and 27th place in the nation in a program called First in Math. Plain Elementary also set a state record with First in Math by solving more than 4,357,000 math problems this year. More than 4,200 schools nationwide participate in the program.
Plain Elementary Principal Debbie Mihalic said students think they are playing a game, but they are really focusing on math fluency and facts. Students say they love math and participating in the program gives them a feeling of accomplishment and pride.
Mrs. Mihalic notes that since implementing the program four years ago, the school has seen significant increases in standardized test scores in math.
First in Math is a web-based program that offers students the opportunity to practice the math skills they are learning in class in ways that engage and motivate. Students can access First in Math from anywhere as long as they have access to the Internet. | <urn:uuid:b8666da5-9183-4134-9db7-477d91b075de> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.greenville.k12.sc.us/News/main.asp?titleid=1505plain | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.970817 | 223 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Kardium announced that it received CE Mark approval in Europe for its Globe mapping and ablation system for treating atrial fibrillation (AF).
Vancouver, B.C.-based Kardium’s spherical Globe catheter is comprised of 122 electrodes to provide electrophysiologists with single-shot pulmonary vein isolation, high-definition mapping and atrial ablation, according to a news release.
Approval in Europe came off the back of positive results from the company’s Global-AF multi-center study that demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the Globe system.
“This is an important milestone both for Kardium and the global AF community,” Kardium CEO Kevin Chaplin said in the release. “The Globe system can now be used by electrophysiologists (EPs) across Europe to safely and effectively treat patients with AF. We have a sales and support team in place and are now launching the Globe system for clinical use in Europe.”

A pillar of the federal government’s plans to fight the HIV epidemic is PrEP: pre-exposure prophylaxis. For someone who is HIV-negative but at risk of becoming infected, this means taking anti-retroviral drugs before possible HIV exposure.
When discussing PrEP, public health officials sometimes say “if taken properly”, it can reduce the likelihood of infection by more than 90 percent. This acknowledges a challenge of implementing PrEP: convincing people to take preventive medicines consistently when they’re not sick, especially in at-risk populations in Southern states such as Georgia.
At the CROI (Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections) 2019 conference in Seattle, David Serota, MD, an infectious disease fellow at Emory, was presenting data that sheds some light on this challenge. Serota is part of Emory’s Center for AIDS Research and PRISM (Programs, Research and Innovation in Sexual Minority Health) at Rollins School of Public Health. His poster [link when available] was on Wednesday, March 6, and was part of a themed discussion the next day.
This is just one example of the HIV/AIDS research going on at Emory and Yerkes. Check out the other CFAR presentations from Emory here.
With Ele[men]t, a study of young black men who have sex with men in Atlanta, Serota and colleagues were looking at the factors that may contribute to gaps in taking PrEP or stopping altogether. Serota’s Emory co-authors include Carlos del Rio, MD, Patrick Sullivan, Ph.D., DVM and Colleen Kelley, MD, MPH.
Out of 125 men who started PrEP, just 46 stayed with it all the way through the two-year study without a gap. However, of the 79 who stopped, most of them started again, with average time gaps of a few months. Overall, those who started PrEP were on it consistently only 69 percent of the time.
To determine whether study participants really used PrEP as directed, investigators both asked them and checked prescription and pharmacy refill records and for some people, obtained blood tests.
The researchers observed that men who were younger than 22, used marijuana but not other drugs or alcohol, and had other sexually-transmitted infections were more likely to have gaps in their PrEP use. Also, those who had fewer sex partners (less than 3) in the last six months were more likely to have gaps.
“While it may be appropriate to discontinue PrEP in the setting of low levels of risk behavior, we continue to observe unacceptably high levels of HIV incidence [estimated at 6 percent yearly] in our cohort,” Serota and colleagues write.
To be sure, outside the context of the Ele[men]t study, the cost of PrEP and insurance coverage are a major factor in ensuring continued access. The study provided clinical visits, labs, transportation, and navigation services for manufacturer assistance plans (MAP) to obtain free or low cost medication. Background information is available in this Clinical Infectious Disease paper. A 2017 Journal of AIDS report, at the start of the study, focused on the mismatch between interest in PrEP and actually initiating it.
The authors conclude:

Walter Crane (15 August 1845 – 14 March 1915) was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered to be the most influential, and among the most prolific, children's book creators of his generation and, along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would exhibit in its developmental stages in the later 19th century.
|Died||14 March 1915 (aged 69)|
|Awards||Albert Medal (1904)|
Crane's work featured some of the more colourful and detailed beginnings of the child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes and children's stories for decades to come. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement and produced an array of paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles, wallpapers and other decorative arts. Crane is also remembered for his creation of a number of iconic images associated with the international Socialist movement.
Early life and influencesEdit
Crane was the second son of Thomas Crane, a portrait painter and miniaturist, and Marie Crane (née Kearsley), the daughter of a prosperous malt-maker. His elder brother Thomas would also go into illustration, and sister Lucy was a noted writer. He was a fluent follower of the newer art movements and he came to study and appreciate the detailed senses of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and was also a diligent student of the renowned artist and critic John Ruskin. A set of coloured page designs to illustrate Tennyson's "Lady of Shalott" gained the approval of wood-engraver William James Linton to whom Walter Crane was apprenticed for three years in 1859–62. As a wood-engraver he had abundant opportunity for the minute study of the contemporary artists whose work passed through his hands, of Pre-Raphaelites Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais, as well as Sir John Tenniel, the illustrator of Alice in Wonderland, and Frederick Sandys. He was a student who admired the masters of the Italian Renaissance, however he was more influenced by the Elgin marbles in the British Museum. A further and important element in the development of his talent was the study of Japanese colour-prints, the methods of which he imitated in a series of toy books, which started a new fashion.
From the early 1880s, initially under William Morris's influence, Crane was closely associated with the Socialist movement. He did as much as Morris himself to bring art into the daily life of all classes. With this object in view he devoted much attention to designs for textiles and wallpapers, and to house decoration; but he also used his art for the direct advancement of the Socialist cause. For a long time he provided the weekly cartoons for the Socialist organs Justice, Commonweal and The Clarion. Many of these were collected as Cartoons for the Cause. He devoted much time and energy to the work of the Art Workers Guild, of which he was master in 1888 and 1889 and to the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, which he helped to found in 1888. He was also a Vice President of the Healthy and Artistic Dress Union, a movement begun in 1890, whose aim was to promote loose-fitting clothing, in opposition to "stiffness, tightness and weight". They produced numerous pamphlets setting out their cause, including one entitled "How to Dress Without a Corset" which Crane illustrated.
Although not himself an anarchist, Crane contributed to several libertarian publishers, including Liberty Press and Freedom Press. He is credited with the design and decoration of the front façade of "The Bomb Shop", Henderson's bookshop at 66 Charing Cross Road specialising in left-wing and radical literature.
Crane was controversial in his support of the four Chicago anarchists executed in 1887 in connection with the Haymarket affair. Visiting the United States for the first time in connection with an exhibition of his work in 1891, Crane scandalised polite society by appearing at a Boston anarchist meeting and expressing the opinion that the Haymarket defendants had been put to death wrongfully. Returning to his hotel, Crane found a letter stating that he faced "hopeless ruin" among American patrons of the arts owing to his support of those who were commonly considered to be terrorist conspirators in public opinion of the day. Financial support was withdrawn and planned dinners in Crane's honour were cancelled. In response to the controversy, Crane wrote a letter to the press explaining that he had not meant to cause insult and did not himself favour the use of explosives, but had merely been expressing his principled opinion that those convicted were innocent of the crime for which they were charged. The incident was memorialised in the press as "probably the most dramatic episode" in the artist's career.
Death, and legacyEdit
Walter Crane died on 14 March 1915 in Horsham Hospital, West Sussex. His body was cremated at the Golders Green Crematorium, where his ashes remain. He was survived by three children, Beatrice, Lionel and Lancelot.
Paintings and illustrationsEdit
In 1862 his picture The Lady of Shalott was exhibited at the Royal Academy, but the Academy steadily refused his maturer work and after the opening of the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877, he ceased to send pictures to Burlington House. In 1863 the printer Edmund Evans employed Crane to illustrate yellowbacks, and in 1865 they began to collaborate on toy books of nursery rhymes and fairy tales. From 1865 to 1876 Crane and Evans produced two to three toy books each year.
These are a few of his illustration suites: In 1864 he began to illustrate a series of sixpenny toy books of nursery rhymes in three colours for Edmund Evans. He was allowed more freedom in a series beginning with The Frog Prince (1874) which showed markedly the influence of Japanese art, and of a long visit to Italy following on his marriage in 1871. His work was characterized by sharp outlines and flat tints. The Baby's Opera was a book of English nursery songs available in 1877 with Evans, and a third series of children's books with the collective title Romance of the Three R's provided a regular course of instruction in art for the nursery. In his early "Lady of Shalott", the artist had shown his preoccupation with unity of design in book illustration by printing in the words of the poem himself, in the view that this union of the calligrapher's and the decorator's art was one secret of the beauty of the old illuminated books.
He followed the same course in The First of May: A Fairy Masque by his friend John Wise, text and decoration being in this case reproduced by photogravure. The Goose Girl illustration taken from his beautiful Household Stories from Grimm (1882) was done again as a big watercolour and then reproduced in tapestry by William Morris. Flora's Feast, A Masque of Flowers had lithographic reproductions of Crane's line drawings washed in with watercolour; he also decorated in colour The Wonder Book of Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Deland's Old Garden. During the eighties and nineties he illustrated 16 children's novels by Mrs. Molesworth in black and white. In 1894 he collaborated with William Morris in the page decoration of The Story of the Glittering Plain, published at the Kelmscott Press, which was executed in the style of 16th-century Italian and German woodcuts. Crane illustrated editions of Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene (19 pts., 1894–1896) and The Shepheard's Calendar, as well as Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (1873), The Happy Prince and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde (1888), an edition of Arthurian Legends, A Flower Wedding. and in 1900 Judge Perry's re-narration of Cervantes' Don Quixote of the Mancha.
Crane also illustrated Nellie Dale's books On Teaching English Reading, Steps to Reading, First Primer, Second Primer, Infant Reader, Book I, and Book II. These were most probably completed between 1898 and 1907.
Crane wrote and illustrated three books of poetry, Queen Summer (1891), Renascence (1891), and The Sirens Three (1886).
Crane's earliest stained glass window designs were some US commissions with glass made by William Morris. He then had a UK commission - the windows for the new Agapemonite church of the Ark of the Covenant in London. These designs are a mixture of Art Nouveau floral works on the side windows and depictions of sin, shame and the translations of Enoch and Elijah. They were completed by Sylvester Sparrow and have been described by English Heritage as Crane's "most significant work in this medium", and in the justification for listing the church as Grade II* "the stained glass is extraordinary and has more than special interest in the context of Arts and Crafts stained glass".
His own easel pictures, chiefly allegorical in subject, among them The Bridge of Life (1884) and The Mower (1891), were exhibited regularly at the Grosvenor Gallery and later at the New Gallery. Neptune's Horses was exhibited at the New Gallery in 1893, and with it may be classed his Rainbow and the Wave.
His varied work includes examples of plaster relief, tiles, stained glass, pottery, wallpaper and textile designs, in all of which he applied the principle that in purely decorative design "the artist works freest and best without direct reference to nature, and should have learned the forms he makes use of by heart". An exhibition of his work of different kinds was held at the Fine Art Society's galleries in Bond Street in 1891, and taken to the United States in the same year by the artist himself. It was afterwards exhibited in Germany, Austria and Scandinavia.
Crane was elected a member of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1882, resigning in 1886; two years later he became an associate of the Water Colour Society (1888); he was an examiner for the Science and Art Department at the South Kensington Museum; director of design at the Manchester Municipal School (1894); art director of Reading College (1896); and in 1898 for a short time principal of the Royal College of Art, where he planned a new curriculum intended to bring students into closer contact with tools and materials. His lectures at Manchester were published with illustrated drawings as The Bases of Design (1898) and Line and Form (1900). The Decorative Illustration of Books, Old and New (2nd ed., London and New York, 1900) is a further contribution to theory. A well-known portrait of Crane by George Frederick Watts was exhibited at the New Gallery in 1893.
In 1887, Crane was commissioned by Emilie Barrington to paint a series of murals to decorate the newly constructed Red Cross Hall in Southwark, a project conceived by the housing campaigner Octavia Hill. Crane produced designs for nine panels, which were displayed at the 1890 Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society show. Ultimately, only three designs were converted into full-size murals, these being: Alice Ayres (1890), depicting the heroine of the Union Street fire which had occurred in 1885 just a few streets away; Jamieson (1892), depicting two Scottish railway workers, Alex Jamieson and his nephew Alexander, who lost their lives in 1874 while working on the Glasgow and Paisley line; and Rescue from a Well (1894), depicting George Eales, a 58-year-old labourer who in December 1887 at Drummer, near Basingstoke in Hampshire, descended into a well to rescue a five-year-old child. After 1894, no further murals were created, partly due to shortages in funding and other commitments, but also because it was discovered that the gas lighting in the hall was damaging the paintings. The Red Cross Hall is now in private hands and the status of the murals is unknown.
A large mosaic, The Sphere and Message of Art, designed by Crane, was intended for the façade of the Whitechapel Art Gallery at the time of its construction in 1898. Sadly, sufficient funds were not forthcoming, resulting instead in a frontage clad in buff terracotta tiles. (The drawing still exists.)
Crane was much admired in Hungary and in 1900 Jenő Radisics, the director of the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts, organised a retrospective of his work there. Crane visited the city in the autumn, was feted, gave lectures and visited Transylvania. He went to Kolozsvár (now Cluj-Napoca), Bánffyhunyad (now Huedin), and Kalotaszeg (now Țara Călatei) in search of Hungarian traditional art. He recorded the visit in Ideals in Art. Zsuzsa Gonda in her review of Crane’s visit says that it is one of the most extensively documented events in the artistic life of the country in that period. The welcome extended to him was not entirely personal, however: he was the representative of England, the nation that sheltered Kossuth and took him to its heart.

State Cuts Hit Palm Beach County's Largest Public Substance Abuse Program
Ten years ago, before the financial crisis hit the state, there were 579 publicly funded beds for substance abuse treatment in Palm Beach County. Today there are around 179, and in the coming days that number will go down even further, according to Alton Taylor, the executive director of the Drug Abuse Foundation in Delray Beach, the county's largest provider of publicly funded substance abuse treatment beds.
The current round of cuts is set to come into effect on July 1, at the beginning of the 2019 fiscal year. They are part of a round of cuts issued by the Florida Department of Corrections after lawmakers did not fully fund the its budget.
"When the cuts in those 579 beds began it was driven in part by the economic downturn that started in 2009, 2008. But we’ve come back economically, and we have the worst drug crisis this county has ever seen," says Taylor of the general downward trend of public funding for substance abuse treatment. "That we would be reducing resources to address the problem boggles the mind."
The Department of Corrections slashed funding to contractors that work with inmates on their way out of the prison system and back into society. Those cuts that will reduce capacity at the Drug Abuse Foundation by about 30 beds, says Taylor. The total beds offered by the Foundation will go from about 115 to 85.
The cuts will impact not only inmates. Wait times for the general population will also go up.
“It’s difficult to say how much longer that will be, but it will be longer because we’ll actually be reducing beds. And so not just the folks from the Department of Corrections would wait, anyone seeking an indigent bed will wait," says Taylor.
Palm Beach County has been the epicenter of Florida's branch of the nationwide opioid epidemic. As WLRN has reported, the number of overdose deaths in recent years has overwhelmed the county's medical examiner's office. The office had to hire additional examiners to keep up with the workload.The Florida Department of Corrections says the cuts are unfortunate, but lawmakers simply did not give them enough money to fully fund operations. The only part of the budget where they had flexibility was in contractor services, so that was where cuts had to be made.
“It is our hope that these decisions, while necessary given the circumstances, are temporary and a positive working partnership with our community partners can continue in the future," said the Department in a statement.
To Taylor, the cuts move the opioid crisis in the wrong direction at the wrong time.
"It gets to the concern of whether policymakers are demonstrating a visible will to make a difference in this area," says Taylor. "If you have a medical crisis the magnitude of which requires the government to spend more money on medical examiners to deal with the bodies, then it’s very difficult to understand why we are cutting more beds, more resources to deal with this population."

Image of the Month - March 2020
(Photo credit: Stefanie Palmer, C.R.A.)
This montage image illustrates a retinal detachment associated with giant retinal tear (GRT). There is a 4 clock hour GRT with partially inverted posterior retinal flap and visible anterior retinal flap in the superotemporal quadrant. Risk factors for GRT include trauma, high myopia and hereditary vitreoretinopathies such as Stickler and Knobloch syndromes as well as others. Management of GRT associated retinal detachment is complex, and usually involves vitrectomy with or without scleral buckle and use of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) to flatten the retina. Close attention to the fellow eye is crucial with careful consideration of prophylactic laser retinopexy in select cases. It is important to distinguish GRT from retinal dialysis. In GRT, the tear occurs in close proximity to the vitreous base with retinal tissue present anteriorly to the tear, whereas in dialysis, the tear occurs at the ora serrata without retinal tissue anteriorly. Retinal dialysis is usually found in younger patients with formed vitreous and has a strong association with blunt trauma. The management is primary scleral buckle in most cases. The patient depicted here has undergone urgent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with diligent vitreous base shaving, PFCL to flatten the retina, fluid gas exchange and 15% C3F8 gas tamponade; and had an excellent anatomical and visual outcome. | <urn:uuid:547bfab2-16fb-4bc8-8c65-608a4f414bbf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.rvscny.com/image-of-the-month/march-2020/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.917961 | 334 | 2.34375 | 2 |
TBILISI, DFWatch–After seven years of delay, Russia has finally inked an agreement with the Swiss company SGS to carry out monitoring of goods passing through the border with Georgia.
SGS will carry out customs monitoring and administrative procedures according to a deal reached between Georgia and Russia in 2011. The Swiss-mediated deal was a condition set by Georgia for supporting Russia’s entry into the World Trade Organization.
The agreement foresaw the creation of three trade corridors, two of them through the breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. SGS will monitor the flow of goods and commodities in these corridors.
Georgia signed a contract with SGS on December 19, 2017 in Bern. Russia has repeatedly refused to sign the document, but on 18 May, the Russian Foreign Ministry published a statement confirming that Moscow has signed it.
One corridor starts at Sochi, then passes through Abkhazia and ends in Zugdidi. The second corridor starts at the village of Narman in North Ossetia, then runs through South Ossetia and ends in Gori. The third corridor will be at Upper Lars customs.
According to the agreement, the border inspectors will have the right to count the cargo and Tbilisi will receive information about the type and number of goods which are passing through the occupied territories that are currently outside of Georgian authorities’ control. The process includes a system of information sharing and a system of international supervision. The information gathered will specifically consist of who the importer of a certain shipment is, who the receiver is, the sending country, the destination country, the entrance and exit terminals, weight, and the numbers of containers.
It’s still unknown when the Swiss inspectors will begin their activities and, in particular, exactly where they will monitor goods. This issues will be discussed on May 24 in Prague, when Georgian envoy Zurab Abashidze meets with Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin. | <urn:uuid:c7eab5ba-83c6-499e-9f6f-f3be9b09eea2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dfwatch.net/moscow-approveds-abkhazia-south-ossetia-cargo-monitoring-scheme-swiss-company-sgs-50405 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.946537 | 408 | 1.617188 | 2 |
The Greek Island of Mykonos
The Cyclades Islands, named because of their curved shape across the map, is our favorite Greek island group. The islands are hilly, arid, and sunny with lovely beaches, archaeological sights, shopping, relaxation and nightlife.
One of the jewels of the Cyclades is the island of Mykonos or Myconos. Mykonos is considered one of the most charming and relaxing islands, but it is also well known for its summer nightlife and parties. When you think of whitewashed churches and small fishing villages set against an azure sea and sky, chances are that you have seen a photograph of Mykonos. It is famous for its windmills, tiny winding streets and its mascot, a stork. The capital and heartbeat of the island is Chora. You can easily enjoy a few days here. If you are interested in beaches, they must be accessed by bus or taxi from Chora, or you can stay at resorts located near to them.
The Port and Harbour- Most travelers to Mykonos either arrive or depart by sea on ferry or ship. There are two small ports, one on each side of the harbour. The center of town is snuggled between them. For hundreds of years Mykonos was just a small fisherman's village. It wasn't until the 1950's that tourists began visiting to see the nearby ruins on Delos. Since then tourism has become the major trade on the island, but you will still find many fisherman and typical Greek fishing boats in the harbour. The bulk of the restaurants, cafes, tavernas, discos and shops are concentrated near the harbour. The main shopping street, Matoyanni, is lined with jewelry shops and boutiques with names that any world class shopper will recognize. In summer months the small streets of the village are filled late into the night with young partiers who bounce from one hot spot to another.
The Paraportiani- Whether you come to Mykonos to relax or enjoy the nightlife, you must still see her most important sight, the Paraportiani. This complex of five whitewashed chapels date back to the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The complex sits between the sea and the old gate (or portal) of the castle and its name is derived from paraporti, which means small gate. As you approach the chapels, take notice of the extreme white color of the buildings in contrast to the deep blue of the nearby sea. The oldest and main chapel is Agii Anargyri dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the protector of the islands. The interiors of the chapels are very dark and sparsely decorated so that the contrast with the bright exterior lends focus to a visitors' faith. You can enjoy photographing this "melting wedding cake" of a church against the blue sky, or if it not to your liking, try one of the other more than 300 small churches on this little island.
Little Venice- Sitting at the edge of the seas as if it were a wave break is a neighborhood different then all the rest, Little Venice. The houses here date back the the middle of the 18th century. They were built by wealthy sea merchants and captains. Most of the buildings are 3 stories tall instead of the typical 2 stories on the rest of the island, and they have small wood balconies that hang over the water. Because the proximity to the sea, most of them also have a door that opens directly to the water. Legends say that these wealthy home owners were secret pirates who would loot ships and then bring the goods directly to their home by way of the sea. This allowed them to live as upstanding citizens on the island since no one had access to the backs of their houses to see what was happening. Today some of the homes are still private residences while others are tavernas and discos.
Windmills of Mykonos- There are two main natural elements on Mykonos, the sun and the wind. The houses are painted white to reflect the heat, and many have high courtyard walls to keep the wind at bay. This famous wind also made perfect conditions for windmills. In the 19th century the windmills were built and used to grind wheat into flour. The flour was then used to make bread that was sold to sea merchants who stopped here. The windmills are a circular structure with a cone shaped roof made of wood. Not far from Little Venice at the edge of the sea you will find a small series of windmills still standing. These have become the symbol of Mykonos.
Museums on Mykonos- If relaxing and visiting nearby Delos are not enough for you, then consider one of the following options. The Archaeological Museum houses exhibits found on nearby Rheneia. When Delos was inhabited they did not allow burials on the island, so nearby Rheneia was used as a burial ground. Because of this, many of the items in the museum are grave markers. The Folk Art Museum contains a collection of everyday life from Mykonos dating back the the late Middle Ages. Finally the Maritime Museum of the Aegean offers ship models from the Minoan era up until the last century and also a collection of coins.

Terminology is the bread and butter of technical communication. Our online terminology database can help you to find the right technical terms.
Terminology of Technical Communication
Developing a terminology for technical communication is the declared objective of tekom as a professional association. All interested parties will be able to access and even shape this terminology.
tekom founded the working group "Terminology of Technical Communication" for this purpose. Up to now, this working group has created a basic set of terms from the field of technical communication.
Here, you can find an overview of the English terms (preferred, admitted, do not use). Further specifications can be found in the online terminology database.
Our working group is continuously working on expanding and improving the terminology database. We are looking forward to receiving your new proposals and suggestions for changes to existing entries. Contributions are welcome. Please send your suggestions to Terminology(at)tekom.de.
By submitting your proposal, you grant tekom the right of use, e.g. to definitions you have drawn up yourself.

WE LOVE THE SNOW at BSMC!
Winter is undoubtedly here, with mornings already reaching -1 degree. Along with these cold mornings, comes the beautiful mulled wines, open fires, and of course, the long-awaited snow season.
Unfortunately, not everybody is lucky enough to chase the snow from the northern to the southern hemisphere, which means it is extremely difficult to stay conditioned for snowboarding or skiing all year round. Before you head up to the slopes this winter, have a think: is your body prepared and ready to take on the physical demands of snow sports?
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or even an advanced rider, it is important to recognise the physical demands that snowboarding and skiing place on the body. Evidence supports that if the rider has undertaken a pre-season conditioning program that they are less likely to sustain an injury. For the beginners out there, it is also important to note that you, unfortunately, are at higher risk of sustaining an injury on the slopes: 73% of which are caused from falls, so I’d highly encourage lessons! Most injuries (32%), according to the Victorian Ski Patrol report, are seen from the knee down, indicating the need for lower limb conditioning.
To help you ride longer, increase your performance and decrease your chance of injury, I have put together, in conjunction with our physiotherapists at BSMC, some quick exercises to help get your body in shape in time to take on the winter sports that we love. Don’t forget, riding is a serious workout, make sure you complete a warm up and drink lots of water (like you would any other work out) prior to commencing your day!
Lower limb specific
- Lunge pulses
- Squat pulses
- Side lunge slides
- Oblique twists with medicine ball
- Plank: Up on your forearms, maintaining a straight back, not letting the bottom come up.
Jump rotations with weight: Land softly in a deep squat, twisting your torso to the left with the left hand reaching toward the ceiling and the right hand toward the floor. This completes one rep. Repeat, but reverse directions so you jump, spinning to the right and going back the way you came. Add weight for resistance and difficulty.
Now, throw all exercises into a nice little circuit. Complete 40 seconds on 20 seconds off and complete 4 rounds.
This is a generic, entry-level program. If you have an existing injury or desire a more advanced routine, call 5251 5724 or jump online to secure your physiotherapy appointment today! Happy shredding 🙂

Who would have guessed the quintessential food of royalty gets its start at a nondescript rural farm north of Sacramento?
One more claim to fame for Sacramento Valley agriculture is Caviar Capitol of North America. Although wild sounding it makes a lot of sense, considering the Sacramento River is home for White Sturgeon, a prehistoric fish that yields exquisite caviar.
A more sustainable approach to caviar was definitely in order following a century of overfishing of wild sturgeon in Russia’s Caspian Sea. Fortunately, several fortuitous steps happened to help Sterling Caviar deliver an exquisite quality farmed product.
In the late 1970s, a top fisheries scientist defected from Russia and became a professor at UC Davis. He helped develop successful spawning techniques for the local White Sturgeon, setting into motion a local and sustainable business like no other in our region. So sustainable that Sterling is now working with leading universities specializing in aquaculture to return some of their captive-born baby fish back to the wild.
Caviar is not everyone’s cup of tea, but those who love are willing to pay dearly for it (up to $400 for a little more than an ounce.)
“It’s a very acquired taste,” commented Sterling’s Manager Director Shaoching Bishop. “There’s a lot of perception in the taste. If you feel this is a luxury product, you can detect the creamy, buttery aspects. People romanticize the whole concept.”
Raising sturgeon is not for the impatient. Bishop said it takes about three years simply to determine if the sturgeon is male or female, then another five years before they are fully mature. In essence, they raise sturgeon for a decade with the best-case scenario being about 10 pounds of caviar per fish.
Sterling produces about 12 tons of caviar a year. Competition is growing internationally from farms in Germany, France, China, Italy and the Middle East.
This farm is quite a switch for Bishop, who had been an investment banker.
“They are both top quality companies,” she remarked. “Goldman Sachs is elite in the investment banking industry and Sterling is the top in the caviar industry. I don’t settle for second class!” | <urn:uuid:983f908e-1bd7-4ca7-9437-fbce01861a01> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://sacramentovalley.org/stories/right-out-of-prehistory/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.942024 | 480 | 2.03125 | 2 |
According to Wikipedia:
A closed system is a physical system that does not allow certain types of transfers (such as transfer of mass and energy transfer) in or out of the system.
According to my textbook, the principle of conservation of charge is:
The algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant.
Isn't this circular logic? In terms of charge, a "closed system" is one in which charge can neither exit nor enter. If the charge neither exits nor enters, then of course the sum thereof stays constant.
Or is the principle saying that the only way for the sum of charge in a system to change is via transfer of charge in or out of the system? (In this case, wouldn't it make more sense to state the principle as "charge can neither be created nor destroyed"?) | <urn:uuid:8875b220-601c-44e5-890d-93517d7ac172> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/425013/is-this-statement-of-conservation-of-charge-circular | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.958366 | 171 | 2.75 | 3 |
Main Streets Matter
Wakefield Main Streets’ mission is to establish and promote downtown Wakefield as a vibrant, inviting destination by fostering historic preservation, economic renewal, and community involvement.
We all know where our Main Streets are, but do we know why they matter? Whether we call them Main Street or Albion Street or North Avenue, what these streets represent is universal. Main Street is the economic engine, the cultural center, the core of our community. Our Main Streets tell us who we are, how the past has shaped us, and who we want to be.
Wakefield Main Streets is a registered non-profit organization and part of the national Main Street America network (a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation). The Main Street movement has spanned three decades and has taken root in more than 2,000 communities throughout the United States – spurring $49 billion in reinvestment in traditional commercial districts; inspiring thousands of volunteers; and helping cities, towns, and villages revitalize their downtown and neighborhood business districts.

Apocynum Cannabinum. Indian hemp, White Indian hemp.
Related entry: Apocynym androsaemifolium
Description: This plant very closely resembles the foregoing, growing in the same places, and nearly to the same height. The principal differences are, that in this species the leaves are a little downy on the under side; the flowers are yellowish-white, pinkish within, and the corolla but little longer than the calyx; the young roots are yellowish-brown, and the older ones dark chestnut. The roots are five or six feet long, horizontal, yellowish-white within, become brittle when dried, and form a yellowish-white powder. They are the medicinal part, have a strong odor, and a permanent sickish-bitter taste.
Properties and Uses: This article secures large and liquid stools, accompanied by but little griping; acts with more or less freedom upon the kidneys; and in large doses produces much nausea, and rather copious vomiting. Emesis from its use is followed by rather free perspiration, as is to be expected from any emetic; though this agent also acts considerably upon the surface. The pulse becomes softer and fuller under its use; and it is accused of producing drowsiness and a semi-narcotism. Formerly I used somewhat liberally of this article, and never saw any narcotic effect whatever; yet have laid it by in the latter years of my practice, lest mischief might be found resulting from it. Information about the agent will be thankfully received. It has been most used for its effects as a hydrogogue cathartic and diuretic in dropsies; but should be employed only in moderation, and in connection with tonics and diffusive stimulants. It usually increases the menstrual flow, and some have lately attributed decided antiperiodic properties to it, but this is not yet satisfactorily confirmed. An ounce of the root boiled a few minutes in a pint of water, is the better mode of preparing it; and from one to two fluid ounces of this are a laxative dose. An extract is made, of which the dose is from three to six grains.
