A new paper has been published by the Chinese International Center for Climate and Environment Sciences (That’s part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences). Within it they present their analysis of data gathered from all around the earth’s oceans and demonstrate a very clear ongoing ocean warming trend.
There is a short clip that visualises the data …
The Paper Itself
The full paper (in English) is available online as a pdf and is entitled “2017 was the Warmest Year on Record for the Global Ocean“
As suggested by the title, there has been a continuous upwards trend of ocean warming and 2017 has been the warmest so far.
They also draw an interesting comparison in the paper as follows in order to demonstrate the quantity of energy in play …
The oceans in the upper 2000 m were 1.51 × 1022 J warmer than the second warmest year of 2015 and 19.19 × 1022 J above the 1981–2010 climatologi- cal reference period (Fig. 1). For comparison, total electricity generation in China in 2016 was 0.00216 × 1022 J, which is 699 times smaller than the increase in ocean heat in 2017.
They are not a lone voice here, the World Meteorological Organization stated in November 2017 that “Global ocean heat content in 2017 to date has been at or near record high levels”.
We know that CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas trapping heat, and we also know that the amount of CO2 within our atmosphere has dramatically increased and it at a record breaking new high (see below) …
What is perhaps not so well appreciated is that as much as 90% of the excess heat being generated by the increase in CO2 is being absorbed by the world’s oceans. Within the atmosphere there is a great deal of weather related variability that can tend to mask what is actually happening, but turn to the oceans and the ongoing trend becomes a lot clearer.
Below you can see a table from the paper that uses a bar graph to illustrates this, and as you can see, the last five years have been the warmest …
In 2017 the increase has been observed right around the globe and is not restricted to just one region. Interestingly enough the Atlantic and Southern oceans (south of 30◦S) did show more warming than the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Increase ocean temperatures and there are measurable consequences …
- Sea level rises due to thermal expansion : The increase in ocean heat of 1.51 × 1022 J in 2017 resulted in a 1.7 mm sea global level rise
- Declining ocean oxygen
- Bleaching of coral reefs
- Melting sea ice and ice shelves
What is their data source?
You might wonder if we have to take their word on this or if the raw data is available for anybody to independently verify. It is the later. The data they used came from the publicly available sources such as the Argo network (this century), and also from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Centers for Environmental Information (NOAA/NCEI).
If indeed under the Trump administration the US turns its back on science and technology, then others are willing and also able to continue forward measuring and analysing.
Argo consists of close to 3,900 ocean based floats that continuously monitor what is going on. It is quite literally a real-time measurement. This is not a US centric program but instead is an international effort.
Each individual float is designed to run a continuous 10 day cycle that involves it sinking down to about 2000m and then ascending again gathering temperature and salinity data. When it hits surface it then phones home the details and starts the cycle again.
The Argo data is freely available to anybody.
This is all perhaps a cue for Donald Trump to once again demonstrate just how disconnected he is from reality by re-tweeting out his claim that climate change is a Chinese hoax.
Least you wonder, yes, he really did tweet that claim out and that tweet is still there …
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 6, 2012
Being reality-challenged is not simply something that dates back to the time of that tweet, in an interview just a few days ago he demonstrated a rather astonishing lack of understanding regarding very basic facts.
Meanwhile the oceans will continue to heat up and that trend will not change while the amount of CO2 within our atmosphere continues to rise.
Should we be worried?

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) partnered with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) to incorporate MMRF's genomic and clinical data into the NCI's Genomic Data Commons (GDC), a core component of the Cancer Moonshot Initiative. MMRF is the first nonprofit organization to donate information to the GDC, which will include data for more than 30,000 patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
"Data sharing is essential to advancing cancer research, and I cannot overstate the value of the data that MMRF is providing," said Doug Lowy, MD, acting director of the NCI.
MMRF's CoMMpass (Relating Clinical Outcomes in MM to Personal Assessment of Genetic Profile) study, which has enrolled more than 1,150 patients and is the largest genomic and clinical study of MM, is of particular interest.
The genomic data from these analyses will be deposited in the GDC, with an anticipated sample size of nearly 1,000 cases by the spring of 2017.

Keywords:: Jounalism, Civic peace and unity, invent, communication, literature, explored, news, carving, twentieth century, popularity, freedom.
Journalism has major role in people training, civic peace and unity. The news leads the human to create and invent new forms of communication. This article focused on the role of newspapers and monthly editions in promoting Urdu literature. Journalism is process for publishing books, booklets, journals and newspapers. This article highlights the origin of journalism from the Arabic word “Sahifa” with meaning “Book or Booklet”. This article has explored that publishing of news starts from china leading to England, Germany and Europe with writing letters, pasting major news on city walls, using drum to announce major official orders and carving orders on stones. In India the publishing of news started back to Asoka leading to Mughal emperors, East India Company and British rule. Findings indicated that the publishing of newspapers in India start from Hakes Gazette, India Gazette, Kolkata Gazette to many Urdu newspapers like Delhi Urdu Newspaper, Khairkhwa. In early twentieth century, newspapers like Saqi, Zamindar, Hilal, Aodh Akhbar, Tehzib ul Ikhlaq, Nigar and Payam are major newspapers that give the popularity to journalism leading role toward the freedom. | <urn:uuid:e9ae327e-aa9c-441b-9986-9119581a87d5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://arjish.com/index.php/arjish/article/view/515 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.865512 | 386 | 2.984375 | 3 |

Why is overcrowding bad for mental health?
overcrowding contributes to psychological frustrations which, in turn, have a bearing on behavioural responses and residents’ ability to cope with the conditions; refugees’ perception of options and future prospects is detrimentally affected by overccrowding.
What are the psychological effects of crowding?
When people experience crowding, their social interactions change. Two results are common: They withdraw from others, creating more psychological space when physical space is limited, and they become more irritable and potentially aggressive.
What were 2 effects of overcrowding?
Overcrowding in the home can cause particular concern, since the home is an individual’s place of shelter. Effects on quality of life due to crowding may include increased physical contact, lack of sleep, lack of privacy and poor hygiene practices.
How does overcrowding affect health and wellbeing?
The 1 million children living in overcrowded homes are up to 10 times more likely to contract meningitis and three times more likely to have respiratory problems. Over a lifetime, overcrowded homes have been linked with slow growth in children which correlates with an increased risk of heart disease as an adult.
What are the four effects of overcrowding?
Effects on quality of life due to crowding may include increased physical contact, lack of sleep, lack of privacy and poor hygiene practices.
How can overcrowding cause stress?
“Living in an overcrowded house can limit the control one has over domestic situations, reduce privacy, potentially create undesirable social interactions and influence parenting behaviours,” the study says. “Lack of control within the home environment can, in turn, act as a stressor.”
What causes crowding in?
Crowding occurs when there is disharmony in the tooth- to-jaw size relationship or when the teeth are larger than the available space. Crowding can be caused by early or late loss of primary teeth, improper eruption of teeth, or a genetic imbalance between jaw and tooth size.
Why does crowding occur?
Crowding is not restricted to letters — it occurs with a wide range of objects, including faces and shapes. so observers frequently mistakenly report a flanker instead of a target. These errors have been attributed to a noisy stimulus representation, with both object and positional uncertainty under crowded conditions.
Does living in very high density places have the ability to influence our human behavior?
Increasing population density, rather than boosts in human brain power, appears to have catalyzed the emergence of modern human behavior, according to a new study. High population density leads to greater exchange of ideas and skills and prevents the loss of new innovations.
What can overcrowding lead to?
Alongside the increase in fire risk, overcrowding also affects wellbeing: it is associated with respiratory disease, tuberculosis, mental health problems and higher mortality rates among women.
What are the effects of overcrowding in prisons?
The excessive use of pre-trial detention, and the use of prison for minor, petty offences, are critical drivers of prison population rates. Overcrowding, as well as related problems such as lack of privacy, can also cause or exacerbate mental health problems, and increase rates of violence, self-harm and suicide.
How does overcrowding affect students?
“Overcrowding creates unsafe environments and makes teaching and learning more difficult. “Overcrowding reduces students’ ability to pay attention and increases school violence. In such schools, students achieve less; rates of teacher and student absenteeism are higher than at schools that do not have these problems.
Why disease spread fast when there is overcrowding?
Problems tend to arise primarily when populations become so dense as to cause overcrowding. Overcrowding is often associated with decreases in quality of living conditions and sanitation, and hence the rate of agent transmission is typically very high in such areas.
What are the health effects of poor housing?
Poor housing conditions are associated with a wide range of health conditions, including respiratory infections, asthma, lead poisoning, injuries, and mental health. Addressing housing issues offers public health practitioners an opportunity to address an important social determinant of health.
How living conditions affect health and wellbeing?
Healthy homes promote good physical and mental health. Cold indoor conditions have been associated with poorer health, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Extreme low and high temperatures have been associated with increased mortality, especially among vulnerable populations such as the elderly. | <urn:uuid:1c641312-7f0d-46a5-abda-1aa8110d5522> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kmhpbs.org/mental-health/how-does-over-crowding-affect-mental-health.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.951819 | 1,098 | 3.578125 | 4 |
Circle A, B, C, or D. Circle True or False.
The words may as well be in a foreign language because M can't seem to make any sense of them. He stares at the exam, willing something to click, his brain to un-freeze.
Someone clears their throat and the sound pulls his attention away from the page. He glances up at the clock on the wall above the blackboard and then at the teacher in the front of the room, who sits there highlighting sentences in a text book. The felt tip squeaks as it's dragged across the paper.
M looks back at the exam before him. He adjusts his sitting position, crossing and then re-crossing his legs. He should have used the bathroom before class.
He skips a question and scans the following one. He skips that one too and moves on to the next.
M's pencil has been sharpened down to a nub, so there's hardly anything for his thumb and forefinger to hold onto. His hand cramps from the claw-like grip he's forced to use. He circles a letter then, second-guessing himself, tries to erase it, but his eraser has been rubbed flat. The metal bit on the end of the pencil shreds the paper, making the words underneath illegible.
Just as his panic begins to mount, he is startled by a sudden vibration under his seat. The person behind him is kicking the bottom rung of his chair. It starts with a gentle tap, tap, tap, but soon grows harder and more insistent.
He spins around in his seat to look at the student. A freckled girl is sitting there doodling dreamily on the back of the exam, which she has already finished.
"Young man!" M turns around again and finds the teacher hovering over his desk. The teacher has a hungry look in his eyes and spittle in the corner of his lips.
"We have a very strict policy here for cheating on exams. Cheaters will have their answers disqualified and will be given a grade of zero." Heads at neighboring desks jerk upwards and turn in the direction of the disruption. M feels his face and ears and neck grow poker hot, but he can't seem to string any words together, his mind numb with shock and shame.
His gaze still fixed on M, the teacher grabs the exam and tears it clean in two. | <urn:uuid:7883a39d-683e-416d-95f6-cf952b76d5b5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theprose.com/post/451510/exam-anxiety | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.982944 | 504 | 2.328125 | 2 |

The Words Sound Write, What's the Madder?
Homonyms or homophones are words which sound the same (or similar), but have different meanings, and often different spellings.
These are frequently confusing to people who learn English as a second language. They are also a problem for native-born English speakers.
For example, the poem below “The Flower and The Bee, sounds correct when read allowed . . . er . . . I mean aloud, but incorrect homonyms have been substituted throughout.
I have used the example as an elementary level grammar lesson, by reading it, and displaying the written version for students to copy and correct.
There are 19 or 20 misused words in a short poem. Even though all the words sound right, they are not.
(A pome, by the way, is a kind of fruit that has a core with seeds like an apple or pear.)
Flour and Be Pome
"Bee quite," said the flour. "I will knot," said the be.
"Then buzz off four an our, and sea the old pair tree."
"Weight a minute flour, just let me steel a kiss."
"Know, weigh," said the blossom, pleas, leaf me out of this."
Sometimes Homophones and Near Homophones Come in Threes or Fours.
The use and misuse of certain words can cause a mental jolt when you are reading.
I recently read about a young man who joined the Marine "Corpse", a person who attended "Cavalry" Church, a person who advocated "human" execution for sick animals, and a legal matter with a "statue" of limitations.
Thankfully, they were not all in the same article.
The word "close" can sound like clothes if you don't get the "th" sound in there, and way too many people --who aren't even Tarzan-- think they are wearing cloths instead of clothes. If you ARE wearing a loincloth and you are close to the door, close it.
A Nightmare and a Knight Mare
A nightmare is a disturbing dream, presumably occurring at night. A knight mare is a female horse belonging to a knight, though any genuine self-respecting knight would surely ride a stallion.
- Pair pear pare: "Please pare a pair of pears."
- Road rode rowed: "We rode the boat which was rowed down the flooded road."
- You're you're yore ur: " You're unlikely to find people who were texting the word 'ur' on your cell phone, in days of yore.
- We whee Wii wee: "The three wee pigs went wee wee wee, all the way home to play with their Wii. Wheee!"
- Bear bare beer: " It is unwise to hunt bear while bare and drinking beer." (Ok, so beer doesn't quite work, but if you are hunting bears while naked, it probably involves beer.)
On the Net
One of the most misused words on the internet seems to be "sight" when the word "site" should be used. A site like an internet web page is a place, a location.
Of course you can also "cite" a reference or even cite an entire site. Sight is a sense of vision or something seen with the eyes. One reason that it is confusing is that sites can be seen and so can sights.
If you are referring to a location that can be found on the internet-- don't refer people to your sight, please use "site", and please cite it correctly.
It is possible to misuse homophones several different ways in one short sentence , as in: "They're stuff is over their. "
When people are talking like this, no one notices, but if you are going to write, try to be right.
Congradulations and Congratulations!!
I suppose the confusion comes here because it is entirely appropriate to congratulate people on their GRADuation.
The problem comes because these are NOT even homophones. ConGRADulations is NOT even a REAL WORD. (Excuse the shouting.) The real problem here is sloppy pronunciation. I see and hear this one way too much.
The Latin derivation of "congratulation" is from con, (meaning with) and gratulari (meaning to show joy), from gratus = pleasing. Please stop "congradulating" people. There is no such thing. Spell check should take care of this easily.
Know the Difference
If you don't know for sure, look them up.
Some words are approximate homonyms. Correct pronunciation helps in many cases, but not always. Which examples are correct?
1. dying dyeing: I'm dyeing to dye my hair.
2. forth fourth : I was forth in line, but when the whole group went fourth, I lost my place and came in fortieth.
3. weather whether: We don't know whether the weather will be hot or cold.
4. weave we've -- It's getting cold. We've got to weave another blanket
(only #4 is correct.)
To extend the "pome" lesson above, as either an oral or written exercise, students can write their own poems, stories or sentences and have other students correct them.
If you are using it as a lesson, you might want reference the words in the list, or even ask the students to come up with more examples.
Knowing the differences between similar words, and using them correctly can often make the difference in your credibility whether you are writing a hub or a résumé.
By the way, Should That be Resume , Resumé , or Résumé?
Which brings up the subject of words that are spelled alike and sound different and have different meanings
Résumé is a noun meaning a summary, pronounced "ray-zoo-may" or maybe even "reh-zuuum-may"
Resume is a verb indicating continuience of a previous action pronounced "ree-zoom".
In the US the unaccented form is often used as the noun that means resumé ("ray-zoo-may") as a convieniece to typists
Resumé is a mutilated spelling of a French word which has one of it's accent marks amputated, but it is the one I grew up with, and my personal preference.
People have been been debating this point in detail for years.
Know the Difference
This list has pairs (not pares or pears) of words which are too commonlyconfused. Always look them up if you are not sure which to use.

Groundbreaking for pedestrian bridge project in Gulfport
Gulfport officials and architects broke ground on a major infrastructure project that will take place over Highway 90 connecting Jones Park to the Mississippi Aquarium.
What started off as an idea roughly eight years ago has come to life as pedestrians will now have a safer way of crossing Highway 90. CTA Board President Michael Strojny said, “It’s a project that’s really going to create a lot of economic growth in this area. Watch out for that. It’s just a wonderful project.”
City officials scooped dirt to break the grounds on a bike, tram, and pedestrian bridge overpass that will originate at the Mississippi Aquarium and CTA Transit Center on the north side of the highway and connect to Jones Park and the harbor on the south side. David J. Hardy with Eley Guild Hardy Architects said, “On a day-to-day basis, folks will be able to walk over the tram bridge into the harbor and it really adds to the sense of place of Downtown Gulfport as a great place to live and work.”
Due to supply chain issues, the cost doubled, totaling to $18.7 million to fund the project.

The burden of corneal blindness is increasing in India and estimates currently suggest that there are 1.6 Million people suffering from the disorder. Despite being treatable, the number of corneally blind people during 2005 and 2011 has grown by 0.34 Million in India. This suggests that the treatment of corneal blindness is currently taking place much slower than its incidence. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that there is a huge mismatch between the total corneas collected and that required for transplantation.
In order to increase the number of cornea collections WHO and AIIMS undertook this project to examine and evaluate how effective grief counselors can be in the collection of eyes in comparison to trained nurses. Before the project was initiated there were already 4 senior grief counselors working with the national eye bank. The project involved appointing 5 additional junior grief counselors to analyze their impact in cornea collection. During July-November 2011, it was found that the number of cornea collections were directly proportional to the number of grief counselors. Results also suggested that the significance of grief counselors in cornea collections was more than that of hospital staff. This can be attributed to the fact that grief counselors are appointed specifically for cornea collection while hospital staff can only spend a limited time on counseling for cornea collection.

Blindness continues to be one of the major public health problemsin developing Countries like India and one of the leading causes of blindness is Corneal Blindness and Corneal Transplantation is helpful in visually rehabilitating such cases,. Corneal blindness is more common in developing nations as compared to developed nations and have significant impact on the lives of those affected by it. Out of 45 million cases of blindness worldwide, there are 12 million cases in India and out of them 1% is due to Corneal Blindness. It is estimated that by 2020 India will have approximately 10.6 million cases of unilateral corneal blindness. However, there is an acute shortage of healthy, transplantable corneal tissue all over the world. We need 1, 00,000 corneal transplants every year, but only around 20,000 corneal transplantation surgeries (20%) are being performed. It is also estimated that 90% of corneal blindness is among the economically poor which demands pro-poor policies/strategies in managing this need.
The Government of India through the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Blindness (NPCB) has adopted many strategies to improve eye donation. One of the strategy is to appoint Grief Counselors at large hospitals (500 beds & above) who would motivate the relatives of the deceased to donate eyes before the corpse reaches mortuary.
This effort of appointing Grief Counselors (GC) has significantly increased eye donations in Delhi, for example, AIIMS. But, the number of approved Grief counselors through NPCB is not adequate (1 per select hospitals), and their motivation and performance management system is critical for the success of the programme. Ideally, 3 to 4 GCs is necessary to work on a 24X7 basis.
Currently there is very little information regarding the number of people suffering from corneal blindness in India. According to the Andhra Pradesh Eye disease study (APEDS) conducted in 2000-01, the prevalence of corneal blindness in Andhra Pradesh was estimated at 0.13% (95% CI: 0.06-0.24),. If we extrapolate these figures for India then the total number of people suffering from corneal blindness in 2011 comes at around 1.6 Million with most of these patients being children. Despite being treatable, the number of corneally blind people during 2005 and 2011 has grown by 0.34 Million in India. This suggests that the treatment of corneal blindness is currently taking place much slower than its incidence.
If we assume the national prevalence figures for corneal blindness to be the same for Delhi, the number of corneal blind people comes at nearly 22,000 in 2011. The total waiting list of patients seeking corneal transplantation in Delhi hospitals was more than 1,142 as on 14th October, 2011. This list has been continuously increasing. The main reason for the high hospital waiting list is a mismatch between the total corneas collected and that required for transplantation. During 2010-11, the number of corneas collected in Delhi were 2,086, whereas the number of corneas transplanted were 1,138. This reflects a utility rate of 55%. However, of all the corneas collected only 30 - 40% are eligible for transplantation due to long death to enucleation time, age of the donor and non-availability of complete donor medical history. So when it comes to eligible corneas the utility rate is close to 100%.
WHO and AIIMS keeping in mind the above factors undertook a study to examine and evaluate how effective grief counselors can be in the collection of eyes in comparison with the trained nurses.
With the above situation in mind, this project was proposed to address the operational gaps by first identifying it. Secondly, if the availability of the GCs on 24 X 7 is an operational problem, involvement of Nurses/ANMs/Ward boys/orderlies for this work could be tried. A study comparing the performance of vertically based GCs versus trained nurses (in the existing system), and their impact was undertaken under this project. Additionally, this project also studies the feasibility of public-private partnerships model which supposed to cross-subsidize the expenditure. To carry out this operational research, WHO India partnered with Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS. This institute is one of the premier health and research centers in India. It is also a WHO Collaborative Centre for “prevention of blindness.”
| Aims and Objectives:|| |
To suggest measures to raise the eye donations by 30% by the end of FY: 2011-12; at the health care institution in Delhi (to begin with).
- To study the role of the Grief Counselors vs. Trained Nurses in improving & sustaining the eye donation in Delhi and analyze results in general as well as in terms of the impact made by Grief Counselors on overall outcome, in particular.
- To explore feasibility options for “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)”, “Social Marketing”, and possibly the role of some sort of “Social Cess” in health care delivery.
- To advocate for rational measures for policy changes and provide options for mobilizing additional resources as a consequence of the outcome of the study, if any.
| Methodology:|| |
Study Setting: The study was conducted in the leading teaching tertiary care institutes in Delhi &NCR witha In-patient bed compliment of more than 500.
Study Span: 15th July, 2011 to 15st December, 2011 (5 Months).
Study Type: Descriptive Study with both the Retrospective study & prospective study plans including incidental observations.
Study Area: AIIMS Hospital, DDU Hospital, RML Hospital & Safdarjung Hospital.
Under this project AIIMS, hired 5 grief counselors and trained more than 30 nurses in counseling and eye donation. The five grief counselors were hired in the month of July, 2011. Initially for the first fifteen days the newly hired GC's were trained. Later beginning from the month of August, 2011 they were sent to different areas within AIIMS and other hospitals. Three GC's were posted in different wards of AIIMS and out of the remaining two, one was posted in DeenDayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital and the other was posted in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital for a period of six months. Simultaneously, 30 nurses from different hospitals i.e. DeenDayal Upadhyay Hospital, Safdarjung Hospital, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and AIIMs were trained on eye donation.
Under this project three different models were adopted to carry out comparative study. The first model examines how grief counselors can perform in a hospital, the second model examines how trained nurses can perform, and the third model examines how the combination of both the above mentioned model works. The first model was implemented in DDU Hospital, the second model was implemented in Safdarjung Hospital, and the third model was implemented in AIIMS and RML.
Trained grief counselors were assigned specific areas of the hospital based on the potential for donations from the area. During times of the day when the Grief Counselors are off duty the ‘on-duty’ nursing staffs were expected to cover the counseling responsibilities. The nursing staffs were trained accordingly. Details about deaths and donations and circumstances encountered were noted, compared and analyzed. Parameter evaluated included notification rate, approach rate, consent rate and conversion rate.

| Results:|| |
During the initial two months no collections were made by the junior grief counselors because all of them were without any prior experience in eye donations. They made a steady uptake from the month of September and during November the total collections by junior grief counselors was more than the senior grief counselors. The performance of senior grief counselors increased continuously from July to October, however, it declined in the month of November. This was mainly as a result of a senior most grief counselor leaving the organization in November.
The total collection of corneas made by hospital staff during July - December, 2011 was 11 while that of junior grief counselors was 21which signifies that grief counselors are more effective than the hospital staff.[Figure 1],[Figure 2],[Figure 3],[Figure 4],[Figure 5],[Figure 6]

Performance of Hospital Staff Vs. Grief Counselors Performance during 2009-2011
In order to study the impact of grief counselors on cornea collections, we have taken cornea collections from hospital staff and eye donation counselors at AIIMS, DDU, RML and Safdarjung.
Data for cornea collections by hospital staff were not available for the year 2009, but data in 2010 and 2011 suggests that GCs are currently driving the cornea collections at the National eye bank. Recent initiatives like the training program on eye donations for the hospital staff has driven the collections from the hospital staff as well.
The total collection of corneas made by hospital staff during July - December, 2011 was 11 while that of junior grief counselors was 21. This signifies that grief counselors are more effective than the hospital staff. This can be attributed to the fact that grief counselors are appointed specifically for cornea collections. Hospital staff, on the other hand, appointed specifically to take care of patients in the hospital and can spend only a limited time in cornea collections. This, however, does not the rule out the fact that hospital staffs and grief counselors are interdependent and have to work hand in hand to get the maximum productivity.
Performance of Various Models
Three different models were adopted to analyze which model works the best. The first model used the combination of Grief Counselors and Hospital staffs. The second model had only grief counselors and the third model had only hospital staffs. The first model was adopted in AIIMS and RML Hospital, the second model was adopted in DDU Hospital and the third model was adopted in Safdarjung Hospital.
Model 1: Grief Counselors and Hospital Staff
AIIMS Hospital has an average monthly death of more than 500. Most of the death cases are found in the Mortuary, New Emergency and COPD wards. Currently AIIMS has both grief counselors (7) and hospital staffs who are trained on cornea collections. During the period July-November, 2011 a total of 95 Corneas were collected in AIIMS. [Figure 7] Factors leading to high cornea collections from AIIMS are as follows:
- Presence of trained staffs in the hospital wards.
- Presence of National Eye Bank within the hospital.
- Presence of experienced grief counselors in the hospital.
- Cooperative staff of the hospital
RML Hospital has an average monthly death of more than 100. Currently RML has one grief counselor. The total collection corneas collected during July-November, 2011 was two.[Figure 8]
Model 2: Only Grief Counselors
More than 200 deaths take place at DDU Hospital. Currently DDU has only one grief counselor. The total cornea collection at DDU Hospital was 21 during the period July-November, 2011. [Figure 9] From ineligible collections till august, the collection of corneas has really picked up in DDU since September. This can be attributed due to the following reasons:
- Cooperative staffs at the mortuary and other departments.
- Motivated Ophthalmology department that extends all kind of help to the counselor.
- Good rapport of the grief counselor with the other staffs of the hospital.
Model 3: Only Hospital Staff
The mortality data of Safdarjung Hospital was not available. The total collection of corneas made during July-December, 2011 was 2.[Figure 10]
Involvement of Corporates through CSR Model
Currently the National eye bank has funds for all its activity except for the funding of grief counselors. This is an area where the Corporates can contribute.
The project period was too short to partner with the Corporates. However following companies were approached: Bharti Airtel, Bausch & Lomb, Syntho Labs, Oberoi Hotels, Novartis India. However it could not be proceeded further.
| Discussion:|| |
Currently, the collection and utilization of donated eyes is done by community pledging and through hospital cornea retrieval programme. Pledging is common through promotion campaigns and by celebrities. Eye donation fortnight (and World Sight Day) is being organized from 25th August to 8th September every year to promote eye donation/eye banking. Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Delhi, Chandigarh, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Karnataka are leading States involved in this activity. Though pledging is common, its main purpose is increasing awareness and advocating eye donations. Due to the short duration of cornea retrieval (< 6 hours), the information about the death and the location should be made known to the nearby eye bank which many a times does not happen. In some occasions, the relatives and friends have overruled donation of eyes (legal) and so eyes are not available.
So far, the hospital cornea retrieval programme is the main strategy for the collection of donated eyes, Hospital cornea retrieval programme envisages motivation of relatives of terminally ill patients, accident victims and others with severe/fatal diseases to donate eyes. This is where the role of Eye Donation Counselors (EDCs) or Grief Counselors (GCs) comes into play. Doctors and nurses who have traditionally convinced patients and their relatives to donate eyes have a number of other job responsibilities, and as a result, can only give limited time in driving eye donations. Unlike doctors and nurses, EDC’s, who are hired specifically for motivating the relatives of the deceased for eye donations have been found to significantly increase the number of eye donations in hospitals. EDC's are responsible for counseling the families of the donor and coordinating with the eye bank and hospital for the retrieval of Corneas. They are also responsible for awareness campaigns both within and outside the hospital.
This can be attributed to the fact that grief counselors are appointed specifically for cornea collections. Hospital staff, on the other hand, appointed specifically to take care of patients in the hospital and can spend only a limited time in cornea collections. This, however, does not the rule out the fact that hospital staffs and grief counselors are interdependent and have to work hand in hand to get the maximum productivity.
Impact of the Junior Grief Counselors on the Total Collection
Corneas for the National eye bank are collected with the help of hospital staff and grief counselors at AIIMS, DDU & RML and other collection centers that are affiliated to the national eye bank. In July 2011, 5 new grief counsellors were hired and given different work areas. This increase in the manpower (who are directly involved in the collection of corneas) has created a significant impact in the total collection of corneas. The total collection of corneas made during 2011 (till 15th December) was 809 as compared to 677 corneas collected during 2010. This shows an increase of 19%.
As described earlier the grief counselors are responsible for the entire process of collection of corneas. Their impact can be evaluated by comparing the total corneas collected during July-December 2010 with the total number of corneas collected during July-December 2011. The total collection of Corneas made during July-December, 2011 were 427, whereas during the same period in 2010, the total collection made was 342. This shows an increase of 25%.
The figure below shows the cornea collection from different sources. It shows that GCs have become a major driver for cornea collection at the national eye bank (NEB). Findings suggest that the grief counselors are more effective than the hospital staffs. The number of corneas collected has been found to be directly proportional to the number of grief counselors. Although hospital staff currently accounts a small share of the total number of corneas collected, their role in cornea collection cannot be ignored. It's important to train more and more hospital staffs to receive maximum cooperation and help from them as they are the main information disseminators.
The number of grief counselors currently provided by the Government is 2. That means that every eye bank whether functional or non-functional gets 2 grief counselors. It is suggested that Eye Banks with a good HCRP track records should get more grief counselors (ideally 5).
Currently, it is a very tedious process of appointing a grief counselor. The eye banks currently do not have any authority to take action against the non-performing grief counselors. This affects the overall productivity of the eye bank. To resolve this problem, eye banks should have the authority to “Hire and Fire”. The overall control over the grief counselors should vest with the respective eye banks rather than having a centralized system.
It is important to retain grief counselors as they take a significant time to get accustomed to their job responsibilities and perform at their peak levels. We would recommend increasing the current salary of grief counselors from the current Rs. 10,000 to Rs.15, 000 + Other Allowances (Transport, Telephone, etc.). We would also recommend giving them adequate appraisals and incentives based on their performance.
The project was carried out for a period of just six months. In order to come to a generalizable conclusion we would suggest a longer time frame (at least 1 year).
| Conclusion:|| |
- Impact of the project on cornea collections: The project had set a target of increasing the total cornea collection in Delhi by 30%. Grief counselors, however, were appointed only at the National eye bank at AIIMS for a period of 6 months. In 2011, the total corneas collected at AIIMS increased by 19% in comparison with the total corneas collected during 2010. The impact of grief counselors, however, is significantly higher than as suggested by these values as they were involved in cornea collections for less than six months. Had they been involved in corneal collections throughout the year, the total cornea collections at the National eye bank would have exceeded 30%.
- Feasibility options of “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):Due to limited time and resources we were unable to evaluate this feasibility. We would suggest additional time and resources to evaluate the same.
- Comparison of the impact of Grief Counselors vs. Trained Nurses: Based on their performance in the last six months it is clear that grief counselors are more effective in cornea collections compared to trained nurses.
- Advocating the policy change and providing options for mobilizing additional resources: Based on their historical performance it is clear that the number of grief counselors is directly proportional to the number of corneas collected at the eye bank. Hence, we would suggest increasing the number of grief counselors at each functional eye bank. It was also found out that the current salary and incentive structure for grief counselors is not sufficient for their long term retention. Hence, we would suggest that there is an immediate change in their salary and incentive structure.
- The time frame of the project was too short to generalize the study results.
- The project involved data extraction from a number of stakeholders and in a number of cases we received limited cooperation.
- There are no credible studies commenting on the true prevalence of corneal blindness in India and Delhi.

The generation of specific and sensitive antibodies against small substances is greatly influenced by the characteristics from the haptenCprotein conjugates. as easy quantitative equipment for delicate and specific screening of pesticides in samples. is the concentration of standard hapten at 50?% is the concentration of cross reacting hapten/analog at 50?% show the dilution curve analysis for analytes (atrazine and 2,4-D) concentrations between 0.5 to 5,000?ng?mL?1. Free antigens were pre-incubated … In immunoassay-based pesticides detection, it is important to have the use of an antibody that demonstrates very high sensitivity as well as specificity. In many previous studies, polyclonal antisera as such have been used for estimating the levels of different pesticides . LY450139 However, only few groups have reported the use of purified antibodies for pesticides detection assay . The present study demonstrates the efficient purification of antibodies with high yield using a combination of protein A sepharose column followed by passing over carrier protein column which resulted in total recovery of 90?% having around 75C80?% anti-hapten antibodies. The antibodies so obtained exhibited high sensitivity (Fig.?4a, b). The reactivity of purified antibody against specific hapten in conjugated hapten coated ELISA was 6.25?ng?mL?1. The relative affinity constant of antibodies, as calculated with the computer program indicated that the anti-2,4-D and anti-MPAD antibody showed lower relative affinity by using conjugate coated plates 8.59??107 and 9.28??108?L?mol?1. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for small molecules, in general, needs conjugates of the hapten with large carrier protein for coating the wells of microtiter ELISA LY450139 plates. The formation of such conjugates is not always reproducible. This makes it difficult to evaluate LY450139 haptenCprotein stoichiometry and to understand the precise orientation of the hapten on the protein. Also, protein molecules while linked LY450139 to hydrophobic polystyrene surface by passive adsorption might loose their activity and may suffer considerable denaturation. These macromolecules are found to better retain their functional activity when immobilized through extended hydrophilic spacer arms, since sorption on the surface is substantially reduced. In an ELISA, the sensitivity of the assay depends to an excellent extent on the amount Mouse monoclonal to FLT4 of antigen binding towards the microtiter plates. The binding of hapten towards the microtiter plates was analyzed using the immediate hapten-coated plates and through the use of haptenCprotein conjugate on microtiter plates. The level of sensitivity from the assay acquired by using immediate hapten LY450139 covered plates was about 100-folds greater than the assay performed with haptenCprotein conjugates with very high degree of reproducibility. The relative affinity demonstrated by using direct specific hapten coated plates 1.80??1010 and 1.9??1010?L?mol?1 (detail curves are not depicted). This was mainly because of retention of functional activity of hapten molecules on polystyrene plates. Thus, after comparing the conjugated hapten-coated and direct hapten-coated plate for 2,4-D and atrazine detection, it was observed that the sensitivity of antibody in direct hapten-coated format was significantly improved. No lose of functional activity of hapten molecules which is an organic moiety was observed, as reported in case of biomolecular immobilization on polystyrene plates.

How to Manage Anxiety in Your Life
Anxiety is a problem that many people find difficult to manage. However, if you are aware of how to deal with the issues that are causing anxiety, it will be easier to tackle the situation. This article will help you avoid anxiety-provoking situations. *To ensure that anxiety does not drag you down, make sure to exercise every day. Exercise can increase happiness and reduce stress. Exercise is also good for your overall health. *An effective way to manage anxiety regarding an event or condition is to exaggerate the end result. Talk about your worries to a friend. Be as emotional and detailed as possible when describing the outcome you fear. Once you are done, go back and do it again. Although it may seem odd, studies show that exaggerating your fears can help you get over the trigger. This will allow you to see your worries in a more realistic light. *Soda is one the most harmful things you can drink for the duration of the event. You should avoid it at all costs. Soda is high in sugar and caffeine, which can cause anxiety and mood swings. *Although everyone should eat healthy, balanced meals every day, those with anxiety should be particular about this. To prevent anxiety and panic attacks, you need vitamins and nutrients, not unhealthy food.
Create your own anxious worrying time. You can choose one or two 10 minutes each day to worry and feel anxious. Try focusing on the negative, anxious thoughts and not trying to change them during this worry period. You should be anxiety-free the next day. Engaging in vigorous exercise is a great way to manage anxiety. Going for a moderate workout can help release feel-good chemicals and calm anxiety if you are feeling stressed. This will result in feelings of happiness, relaxation, and calmness that you can hold onto very quickly. *Anxiety is inevitable. However, if you are faced with a situation that makes you anxious, take deep, slow-moving breaths. You can inhale like you’re smelling flowers and exhale like you’re trying to light a candle. This will increase your oxygen intake, slow down your heartbeat, and calm you down.
As you can see, there are many situations in your life that can lead to stress and worry. These situations can be addressed by being able to recognize the root cause of your anxiety. Take the advice in this article and apply it to your life. You will soon notice that your anxiety problems disappear. | <urn:uuid:9493b2d1-6975-43ee-a055-f36bc304e222> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jjsplace.org/how-to-manage-anxiety-in-your-life/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.962164 | 505 | 2.390625 | 2 |
I took inspiration from a terrific book by Maggie Howarth who is aware of a thing or two in regards to the topic! The most popular purpose is an aesthetic fashion of the backyard with quick inexperienced grass and some sorts of plantations. Having backyard design plans ready is the one method to ensure that you get precisely what you are paying for when using landscape contractors.
This network of walkways llustrates how garden path design can influence one’s journey via the landscape. The check garden demonstrates that functional spaces in the backyard could be beautiful, too. A big, flat garden 20m x 50m allow £2000-£2500 for part one then a further £2000 – £3000 for section two.
The garden design process also includes arising with an aesthetically pleasing and unique resolution to every consumer’s brief. We take a look at among the free computer software program that lets you plan and design a new backyard. Sometimes the garden was surrounded by a protecting enclosure such as a rock wall, fence or hedge.
In 12th century England, this backyard was generally in the front yard, with the doorway to the backyard being a white picket gate, though it might be an arbor or trellis covered with a flowering vine. Vegetables are usually planted nearer collectively than in the row vegetable garden layout making this is a perfect choice in case you only have house for a small vegetable garden.
Adding a proper clipped hedge as the border of the backyard, pond, or individual beds will add to the structured feel of the garden. A path gives access to garden beds without trampling on vegetation and serves to maintain toes dry and free from mud. Garden design was not one thing that came easily or naturally to me, so I developed a technique that made the method a lot easier. | <urn:uuid:df38b021-44df-4c39-bb2c-dcdb8a631b9d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://world-wide-glide.com/david-keegans-garden-design-weblog.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.947384 | 362 | 2.078125 | 2 |
From a local pub to a bohemian salon
It was Ivan's father Valentin Mrak who bought a local pub, and moved it to the present hotel location. As it was close to the archaeological excavations of the Roman wall, he decided to call it the “Old Roman Guesthouse”.
Well-known for the excellent Slovenian traditional cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere, it soon became a household name in the local art community, attracting writers, painters, architects, professors, and actors alike.
Dance parties, gatherings and various literary meetings were hosted in a room with vaulted ceilings, which led to the magnificent garden known as “salon”. Even the first meeting of the Slovenian National Government in 1918 was held in there. In 1916 “Old Roman Guesthouse” changed its name to “Pri Mraku Guesthouse«, which later became a hotel.
Staff of Hotel Mrak in early 20th century.
The charismatic and free spirited artist
Ivan Mrak was both charismatic and mysterious. He was quiet and reserved yet self-confident, with an extraordinary ability to attract people. In his work he focused on hymnal tragedies with a complex, somewhat patronizing style. He was considered a great individualist, deeply infatuated with the power of his art. He lived and worked also in Paris, Prague, Munich and Zagreb.

He resisted established social norms and was recognized as a symbol of freedom and a rebel. He lived in the hotel with his muse, painter Karla Bulovec Mrak, who was 11 years his senior. Their relationship, however, was purely platonic as Mrak was one of the first Slovenians who was openly gay.
Karla Bulovec Mrak (1895-1957).
Since 2016, the property is owned by the Kuharič family. With careful renovation they transformed it into a contemporary hotel, which still respects the building's rich history and cultural heritage.
Ms Nina Kuharič, General Manager, describes her favourite part of the hotel:
The garden today.
»There's a 200 years old grapevine, which still to this day gives shade and a very special lure to the place. In warm and sunny weather we use the garden to serve breakfast and drinks. By prior arrangement, lunch and dinners can also be served outside and private bookings are possible. Each September we organize an event we look forward to the entire year: the traditional harvesting. The garden really calms me down, I'm deepy appreciative of this part of the property!«

Master data management creates a consistent, quality set of critical data for reuse across systems and processes.
We blend consulting, education and tools to provide a complete business solution to master your data.
We have delivered a number of MDM programs for clients in financial services, government and manufacturing.
PLANNING FOR YOUR DATA MIGRATION
What is Master Data Management?
Master Data Management (MDM) is the technology, processes and governance enabling an organisation to link and share critical master data.
Master data are the objects of a business - typically people, places, things and concepts. For example, a supplier (person) may provide a service (thing) under the terms of a contract (concept). Or a customer (person) may buy a product (thing) from a store (place).
In practice, master data may reside across many systems, each applying different standards and rules. Even within a single system, data quality problems mean that master data is often duplicated or redundant.
Throwing technology at the problem without business oversight frequently makes problems worse.
Methodology for implementing master data management
Master data management is a discipline for creating and maintaining a trusted source of reference data. While technology is an important enabler, it should not be the driver.
We recommend a four-step process for initiating and implementing MDM.
Business engagement and alignment are critical to ensuring that the investment in master data management, which can be expected to run into several years and millions of dollars for a large enterprise, delivers on business expectations.
In our experience, master data programs that are IT-driven and do not have strong business engagement end up perceived as failures, irrespective of what is delivered.
Business vision and goals can be used to identify the accountable business executives that must be engaged in order to define the master data scope and objectives.
We recommend that these executives form the core of a strategic data governance program to determine and prioritise the financial benefit that data brings to the organisation and identify and mitigate the business risks associated with poor data practices and quality
Canonical data model
Master data should be defined in terms of a best-practice set of attributes that represent an ideal data set able to support the business goals.
This ideal data set can be described as a canonical data model and should be defined to allow the organisation to map current and future data requirements. Industry-standard models may be sourced and adapted, or a model may be built based on defined business requirements.
Existing data sources should be mapped to this logical model to ensure completeness and viability, and to support the implementation.
In a large environment, we would recommend starting with a small subset of two to five systems that will provide the key data. Additional systems can be mapped and added later.
Data standards, terms and definitions
From a data governance perspective, it is valuable at this time to define definitions of key data terms, identify and prioritise existing sources for key data, and define and identify categories such as sensitive or protected data that may need special handling during implementation. Data standards, validation rules and match rules should also be defined and agreed upon with the accountable business users.
A master data readiness assessment is a valuable tool to both discover de facto rules and standard that may exist within the data, and also to identify data risks that must be mitigated in order to deliver master data management.
These data governance and data quality steps are important prerequisites for successful master data management. They should be repeated at various stages through any implementation to provide feedback and guidance for the next steps.
MDM Technology identification and implementation
The three stages above create the foundation for a successful master data implementation. We are now ready to assess technologies to support the master data implementation.
We should have a clearly defined and business-driven scope that includes:
- Business goals and priorities
- A canonical data model with source-to-target mapping
- Data standards, validations, match rules and risks that must be catered for during implementation.
Data quality vs MDM
Master Data Management (MDM) is intended to provide a pervasive, consistent, enterprise view of a core set of master data. Not surprisingly, therefore, successful MDM programmes are highly dependent on data quality.
Data quality solutions, conversely, should provide fit-for-purpose data across the enterprise.
While MDM is certainly a driver for data quality, the benefits of data quality must extend beyond master data to encompass all business-critical data, most notably, in order to support Business Intelligence, Compliance requirements and operational efficiency.
A good data quality solution must manage both master data and related transactions.
So where should you start?
Obviously, it depends on your business requirement.
To use an analogy. data quality is the horse to the master data management cart. For a while, the horse will be able to carry the required load. Eventually, the load may become too much for the horse and a full Master Data Management solution may be required. In this case, the data quality "horse" will continue to provide the pulling power that allows the cart to function.
On the other hand, the expensive cart is fundamentally useless without a functional horse.
This position is summarised by Aberdeen Research analyst, Nathaniel Rowe. "If you put MDM in place but you're using old, substandard data, you won't see much value from the effort," he said. "You'll have issues with the data if it isn't standardized."
"If you only have the budget to do data quality, that's more important, but keep looking toward the horizon for the next step,"
Data quality should not just be a tick box in the MDM stack. Data quality management is a complex problem that is made worse when multiple sources of data are consolidated for MDM. Data quality should be assessed independently of MDM to ensure that you have a solution that is appropriate for your needs.
We have delivered a number of MDM projects with varying architectures, depending largely on what could be leveraged within the existing environment.
The common factor in each project was to ensure that the underlying data was able to support the business requirement.
By blending a business and data focus we deliver incremental benefits that justify the exisitng spend and build the business case for additional phases.
The role of technology for MDM
Master data management(MDM) is the discipline that is intended to link all critical data into a single, reliable point of reference.
A common error is to assume that MDM is achieved through the implementation of a so-called MDM tool.
In fact, master data management can be achieved without the use of an MDM tool, although in most instances the right combination of tools will provide a lower-risk option than trying to build everything you need from scratch.
MDM must begin with data governance.
Data governance is about agreeing, sharing and enforcing policies and rules for the use of data to support your key business processes. If you are trying to implement an MDM stack without understanding how the data must be used by different stakeholders then you don't have MDM, you have data integration.
Based on your needs, we can recommend and supply a data stewardship platform suitable for your needs
Data Quality is a critical success factor
A 2008 Information Difference survey found that the average company had 6 customer master systems and 9 product master systems. Larger organisations had many more than this, with 13% of companies having more than 100 systems holding critical master data.
Implementing an MDM product without considering data quality is simply a recipe for consolidating all of this data into another database - creating, in essence, a 7th customer master or a 10th product hub.
Data quality is the differentiator that allows you to standardise and combine related records to create a trusted master data source. In fact, data quality can deliver 80% of the value of a full-blown MDM stack, at a fraction of the cost, in particular when integrating into your commercial ERP or CRM platform.
Again, we provide market-leading data quality solutions
A full-blown master data management platform combines governance, quality, data modelling and data integration in a single platform. Our next-generation Spectrum platform leverages graph technology to deliver quicker time to value, at lower risk and with higher impact than traditional platforms.

On Thursday, the advisory panel of the Health Ministry on infectious diseases unanimously voted for recommending the approval of the COVID vaccine for kids in the age range of six months and five years. The decision needs the final approval of Nachman Ash, the Director-General of the Health Ministry, before the vaccine is actually rolled out to the age group.
Breakdown of recommendations
But, the Health Ministry said that there was a difference in opinion on whether the vaccine should simply be allowed in children or recommended and whether it should be administered to those who have recovered from the disease before.
Since the ministry wanted to ensure that the sensitive topic had full transparency, it gave a complete breakdown of the recommendations that panel members had made. The Health Ministry disclosed that 58% of the members of the panel recommended vaccines for children at high-risk and to allow them for those who do not have risk factors.
Meanwhile, 13% of the panel members voted for administering the shot to all children and 13% said that the vaccine should be allowed for everyone above the age of six months. There were also 16% of the members who said that the vaccine should be restricted to children who are at high risk.
There were 87% of the panel members who said that the recommendations did not need to be different for children who had already tested positive for COVID. But, there were also 13% of them who said that vaccination was not necessary for children who had already been infected.
Use of vaccine to be low
It is expected that interest in COVID-19 vaccine for toddlers and babies will be low in the country. The statistics on Thursday showed that not even 18% of children between the ages of 5 and 11 had received both shots of the vaccine, while only 25% had gotten one shot. However, the age group between 12 and 15 had a different story, as 55% of the children had gotten two doses and a third dose had been given to 15%.
The approval for the COVID-19 vaccine for children between 5 and 11 had been approved last year in November. The recommendation of a booster shot for these kids had been made in this month, but only 0.1% of the kids have received the shot.
COVID cases rising
It should be noted that COVID-19 cases are once more rising in Israel in what is said to be the sixth wave of the virus. On Wednesday, around 11,000 new infections were diagnosed, which is about 30% of the people who got tested. The officials of the Health Ministry have recommended that face masks be worn in indoor spaces once more.
However, it should be noted that authorities have not imposed any restrictions that were applicable in the COVID era. The number of serious patients in Israel stands at 296, which is an increase from 219 a week earlier and the figure had been 136 two weeks earlier. | <urn:uuid:d1e04e9f-11c9-4320-be39-f2fa9962cb1b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.onlineisraelnews.com/health-ministry-panel-unanimously-votes-for-covid-vaccine-for-kids-under-6/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.986672 | 580 | 2.25 | 2 |

This custard has many benefits using cocoa butter on the hair should increase manageability and moisture. Cocoa butter can help in preventing breakage & shedding. It can also help alleviate scalp itching and irritation, and may help prevent chemical damage.
Individuals with fine hair could benefit from using cocoa butter, which can infuse volume and strength into the strands if used consistently. Cocoa butter could help fine hair transitioning to a healthier and more lustrous appearance.
Those with damaged or dry hair may benefit immensely from using cocoa butter. Since it is a fat, it can be used to replenish lost oils due to chemical processes, such as perms and coloring. Using cocoa butter on hair can also help improve the texture and feel of damaged hair while repairing some of the damage incurred through the use of styling aids. It may also help temporarily correct issues with unmanageable, frizzy and flyaway hair.
Coffee Butter is made from roasted coffee beans. The most important feature of Coffee butter is the caffeine component. Why? Well it has several properties that will stimulate hair follicles, and stimulate hair growth. And besides just smelling incredible, coffee bean butter does contain powerful antioxidants, natural sunscreens, and is rich in plant compounds like phytosterols, which promote moisture retention in skin and hair. It also penetrates and absorbs quickly so you will not leave a greasy build-up feeling after application.
The Horsetail in this custard will add growth stimulation to the strands and add strength as well. Horsetail is also known for combating dandruff and removing scalp build-up and reduce hair loss. This custard is ideal for transitioning as well as seasoned naturals. It can be used as a styler, curl enhancer, everyday moisturizer and leave-in.

A land where you are cut off from civilization and the only company you have is the wild. Set your eye tab on low lying plains riddled with grasslands and a plethora of wildlife that will drive shivers down the spine. The high plains of Laikipia are increasingly recognized as one of Kenya’s best safari regions, challenging the Maasai Mara for overall safari experience, if not for raw numbers of animals. Laikipia is occupied by a number of incredible wildlife conservancies. The Lewa Conservancy is one of the oldest and finest conservancies. Those who like to keep active may want to take part in the annual Lewa Marathon, a fantastic run through the conservancy in June. The real attraction of Laikipia is a wonderful sense of freedom. Not just the freedom of wide open spaces, but freedom of choice. Whether you want to take a camel ride across the plains, track elephants on foot or saddle up for an incredible horse riding safari, there is a wilderness experience for everyone. This area has become a sanctuary for healthy populations of African wild dog, Grevy’s zebra and about half of Kenya’s remaining black rhinos. On top of this, the region has a thriving population of lion, leopard, elephant and cheetah, who coexist alongside more unusual endemic northern species such as the reticulated giraffe and Beisaoryx.
OlPejeta Conservancy is the busiest of the Laikipia wildlife sanctuaries has big concentrations of mammals, including all the native plains game, especially black rhinos. Critically, however, it combines cutting-edge wildlife conservation work with running the world’s largest herd of cattle, Africa’s best beef producer, stimulating new pasture growth for the wildlife in a balanced system that shows that, when carefully managed, livestock and wildlife can co-exist. Laikipia has become a focus for many conservation efforts, and some ranches have become breeding sanctuaries for Rhinoceros. On OlPejeta, a refuge for Chimpanzees rescued from the pet and bush meat trade has been established, a world where you are no longer King, but a highly welcome guest who is about to have their fill of the great African Wilderness.CONTACT AN EXPERT | <urn:uuid:d4124923-9ba2-41ae-8346-04b53d6b0790> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://splendoursofafricatours.com/Destination-Detail/Kenya/Laikipia-Plateau/8 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.933959 | 473 | 1.953125 | 2 |
SEATTLE -- African men who underwent circumcision not only reduced their risk of contracting HIV infection, they also were significantly less likely to be infected with herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) – also known as genital herpes, researchers reported here.
Among uncircumcised men in the 15-to-49 age group, HSV-2 prevalence was 30.8% compared with a 17.1% prevalence among circumcised men (P<0.001), said Bertran Auvert, MD, professor of public health at the University of Versailles outside Paris, who reported on results from two surveys involving more than 4,500 participants.
- This study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
- This study of African men ages 15 to 49 indicates that male circumcision was associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence of HSV-2 (genital herpes) infection.
When variables were analyzed, circumcision led to a reduction of 27% in the risk of acquiring HSV-2 infection when compared with uncircumcised men, Auvert said here at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
Trials conducted in Orange Farm, South Africa, showed a significant decline in HIV infection among circumcised men. As those trial results became publicized, the rate of circumcision rapidly increased to the point where almost half the men in the region have now undergone the surgical procedure, Auvert said.
At a press briefing here, Auvert reported findings from three years after the rollout of the male circumcision projects in Orange Farm, a city of more than 100,000 people. He and his research team conducted two cross-sectional surveys, one in 2007 before the rollout, and the second in the 2010-2011 period. The random samplings included 1,198 men in 2007 and 3,355 men in the second survey.
The researchers determined that medical male circumcision prevalence increased from 15.6% to 49.4% among participants ages 15 to 49. Compared with uncircumcised men, circumcised men were younger, more educated, more likely to be unemployed, more likely to be of Sotho ethnicity, and more likely to know their HIV status.
There were no statistically significant differences in terms of religion or reported sexual behavior, including condom use and alcohol consumption, Auvert reported.
"This study shows that the rollout of male circumcision can have a [significant] short-term impact on the spread of HSV-2 among men," he said.
"This is an example that less is more," said Sharon Hillier, PhD, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pittsburgh, who moderated the press briefing. She was not involved in the trial.
"This is an intervention that can be done one time and can provide years of benefits that are sustained," she told MedPage Today.
"We don't hear enough about the long-term benefits at the population level from circumcision. This is really important news that confirms what we have learned in the past about [circumcision's] effect in reducing HIV infection, but also [shows] that it is a multipurpose technology that is ... preventing HSV-2. The fact that it is doing so much for men in preventing HIV and other infections is a story that is not being told enough."
Hillier noted that in the U.S. there have been movements to prevent circumcision. "I don't think we have done enough to get the word out that male circumcision is a powerful, life-long prevention of infection, and one that can have a real impact on this epidemic," she said.
Auvert suggested that he would like to see circumcision occur among babies, as is often performed in religious rites. However, he added, the logistics of performing circumcision in Africa make early male circumcision difficult at this time.

Why There’s More Distraction, Less News in the Media
A lot has happened in the last 48 hours. A dossier called the Pandora Papers was leaked, revealing the ways the worlds’s wealthiest people hide money. A ruling party minister’s son mowed down and killed four protesting farmers. Hindu extremists decapitated a Muslim man for his relationship with a Hindu woman. However, the one news item that has permeated all news channels in the country is the one about a Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, having allegedly partaken in some recreational drugs at a party.
The latter has made its way into WhatsApp group forwards (even before the blackout took matters into its own hands), is the subject of primetime debate, and is a trending topic on social media. But it’s clear that something is awry: Khan was one among hundreds at the party and seems to be dominating the headlines solely due to his name.
As a result of all the commotion, there is hardly any conversation about more urgent incidents. Mass murder, corruption, and suppression of political opponents are issues that would make headlines in any other democracy. But this is not the case here because it has its basis in a theory about the media called the ‘priming effect,’ variously known as ‘political media priming’ or more broadly, ‘media priming.’
A recent study defines primes like this: “priming is the presentation of a stimulus and the effects caused by that stimulus, which can include subsequent changes in beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. A prime, then, is the portion of the stimulus that leads to these effects.” The same study notes that “Priming operates through the associative activation of memory, where information can trigger the activation of other ideas from memory in a ‘cascade of activity.’”
The theory broadly suggests that in the media, some issues gather more steam than others, which impacts political outcomes. Researchers Peters, Iyengar, and Kinder first proposed the idea in 1982 to describe how people who do not have all the information on hand are likely to make electoral or political decisions based on what first comes to mind. And what comes to mind is what the media overwhelmingly focuses on, at the expense of many other things. The researchers argue that TV news programs directly affect how much weight viewers give to various issues, especially when only some take up a chunk of the evening news.
A much earlier study put it like this: “the mass media may not be successful much of the time in telling people what to think, but the media are stunningly successful in telling their audience what to think about.”
Related on The Swaddle:
In the present scenario, the Aryan Khan case is powerful enough to stick for a few reasons. A paper published in the International Journal of Public Opinion Research found that the media’s framing of issues in moral or ethical terms can “prime voters to (1) make attributions about candidate integrity, and/or (2) evaluate other political issues in ethical terms.” It is reasonable to argue, therefore, that it is no coincidence that news about a young adult partying has overshadowed all else in the heels of significant state elections. Further, attributing moral degeneracy to a famous movie star’s kin has a particular moralistic messaging implicit in it. With government bodies seen to be taking strict and robust action to stop such debauchery, governments can claim the moral high ground as taking a hard line on drugs and illegal activities.
Why this happens has roots in political and cognitive psychology. Research has shown that the frequency, intensity, and positivity or negativity of ‘primes’ all significantly impact an individual’s judgments based on how their cognitive memory is activated.
Moreover, research has also shown how governments strategically time unpopular or controversial political actions to execute them when something else in the news is distracting voters. A study on the timing of US Presidential Executive Orders (EO) found that Presidents time their controversial EOs right when an unrelated issue dominates the news cycle. Some have called this the ‘politics of distraction,’ and it often works.
Consider that a few days before the Narcotics Control Bureau’s ‘raid’ on the cruise ship in which Aryan Khan was supposedly taking drugs, NCB seized 3,000 kilograms of heroin at the Mundra Adani port, Gujarat. Still, the incident quietly receded out of public discourse. Or the fact that the government arrested political opposition leaders while they were visiting aggrieved farmer families affected by the violence.
The overwhelming focus on Aryan Khan’s personal life, WhatsApp chats allegedly pointing to international drug trafficking links and other lurid details prime media consumers into a drug scare. This is similar to last year when actor Rhea Chakraborty’s life was dissected for similar reasons.
All the while, several matters of fundamental importance to voters remain a footnote in national and regional news channels. It would seem that with pro-government media having found its newest scapegoat, it is unlikely that media consumers will be thinking about much else. When governments and media manipulate individual cognitive processes on a mass scale, the people are not entirely to blame.

Once upon a time, full employment was an objective of Australia's Government, and it meant what it sounded like.
From 1946 until 1975, successive federal governments — Labor and Liberal — kept the national unemployment rate below 2 per cent on average.
The "full employment" policy began with Labor prime minister John Curtin as part of his post-war reconstruction plans.
He had been advised that 1 million men and women, who were part of the armed forces and war industries, would want a peace-time occupation after World War II, and he desperately wanted the economy to absorb them.
He feared a return of high unemployment from the pre-war years.
Crucially, Australia's war effort had opened the eyes of policymakers in Canberra.
After they put the economy on a war-footing, they saw how government policies eradicated unemployment.
The implication was obvious. Unemployment was not inevitable — it was a policy choice.
Australia's 1945 White Paper on Full Employment, the result of Curtin's vision, trumpeted their new knowledge.
"Despite the need for more houses, food, equipment and every other type of product, before the war not all those available for work were able to find employment or to feel a sense of security in their future," the white paper said.
"On the average during the 20 years between 1919 and 1939 more than one-10th of the men and women desiring work were unemployed.
"In the worst period of the depression well over 25 per cent were left in unproductive idleness.
"By contrast, during the war no financial or other obstacles have been allowed to prevent the need for extra production being satisfied to the limit of our resources.
"It has shown up the wastes of unemployment in pre-war years, and it has taught us valuable lessons which we can apply to the problems of peace-time, when full employment must be achieved in ways consistent with a free society."
In 1946, the federal government created the Commonwealth Employment Service (CES).
The CES had the job of linking people with job vacancies and filling labour shortage — and it worked.
The national unemployment rate was just 1.2 per cent by 1947 and 0.9 per cent by 1948.
Full employment was here to stay.
In 1960, when the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) was established, the Government instructed it to use monetary policy to maintain full employment, among other things.
And full employment remained federal government policy for another 15 years.
But it was abandoned in the mid-1970s, partly because of the 1973-74 oil shock.
Policymakers were sideswiped by the shock.
It caused rising inflation, slowing growth, and rising unemployment, and the complications metastasised through the decade.
Multiple countries suffered the same fate.
Australia's unemployment rate jumped in 1974-75 and kept rising until mid-1983, when it peaked at 10.5 per cent.
Across the western world, policymakers shifted their energies to stamping out "stagflation".
The oil shocks of the 1970s forced officials to re-think if genuine "full employment" was possible anymore.
They eventually developed a new definition: full employment would mean the level of unemployment that kept a lid on inflation (i.e. on wages and prices).
The definitional change allowed the RBA to continue to meet its original mandate (to maintain full employment) on paper, while adapting to the new economic reality.
And that's the definition we still use today.
Before the coronavirus hit, the RBA was saying "full employment" for Australia's labour market was an unemployment rate of 4 or 5 per cent, perhaps a bit lower than 4 per cent.
So, when you hear economists talking about full employment, remember it doesn't mean what John Curtin took it to mean in 1945.
It's something to bear in mind when the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) releases its monthly unemployment data on Thursday.
Economists think the official unemployment rate probably rose again last month, from 7.1 per cent to somewhere around 7.6 per cent.
But the official unemployment number won't say what you think it says.
Why? Because the Government's JobKeeper payments have been keeping hundreds of thousands of workers "attached" to their workplaces through the COVID-19 lockdown, and those workers have still been considered employed even if they haven't been working any hours.
It has made interpreting the unemployment data difficult.
The official unemployment rate has risen from 5.2 per cent in March, to 6.4 per cent in April, and to 7.1 per cent in May.
But according to the ABS, if we included the number of people who are still considered officially employed but who have been working zero hours (because they've had no work or they've been "stood down"), the official unemployment rate would be much higher.
Under the expanded definition, the unemployment rate would have been 11.7 per cent in April and 9.5 per cent in May.
That shows why it is so difficult to have a meaningful discussion about economics using official figures.
If someone told you Australia's unemployment rate was only 7.1 per cent, and the economy was just 2 or 3 percentage points away from full employment, they would sound psychedelic.
But that's the definitional game.
We may be in the middle of our worst economic calamity since the Great Depression, but the official unemployment rate is relatively low on paper.
Full employment is not full employment.
The unemployment rate is not what it seems.
Like other economists in the private sector, Citi's Josh Williamson had to put a caveat on his unemployment forecasts last week.
"There's a high degree of uncertainty around the monthly labour force survey data because of idiosyncrasies in the way the ABS classifies those that are employed or unemployed," he said.
At least we know what those words meant. | <urn:uuid:2fa26b20-1cce-43b7-acf6-f4aac0502b0f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-12/unemployment-figures-hard-to-interpret-because-of-definition/12446608 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.968715 | 1,226 | 3.296875 | 3 |
How to Create and Keep Strong Passwords
Your passwords are the keys to your life. And when it may feel like there’s another big security breach every other week, you want to be sure your passwords are strong and safe.
Below are 6 steps for super-strong passwords that will keep scammers guessing.
Step #1: Choose a password manager
The best way to ensure your passwords are secure is to use a password manager like 1password, Lastpass or Keepass. These services generate encrypted passwords for every website you use. You will then create one master password to use for logging into all of your accounts.
Step #2: Create an unbreakable master password
This code can open up every password of yours to potential scammers; so be extra careful about choosing one that is virtually unbreakable.
Follow these rules for a strong password:
• Length is Strength: Many sites require a password that is a minimum of 8 characters long, but a 12-character password is even stronger.
• Be Creative: Avoid using names, places and recognizable words, since these are easily cracked.
• Mix it up: Vary your capitalization and the type of characters you use, switching back and forth from letters to numbers to symbols.
You can run your password through an online password checker like the one on OnlineDomainTools.com to test its strength. Once you’ve created a super-strong master password, work on memorizing it. Write it down and then rip up the paper as soon as you’ve memorized it.
Step #3: Update all your passwords
Next, sync all the websites and accounts you use with your password manager. Follow the guidelines on your password manager for this step, as they differ with each service.
When you’re through, you’ll only be able to log into these sites with your master password.
Some sites employ outdated systems that won’t work with a password manager. For these sites, you will need to use different passwords. You can slightly amend your master password for these sites or create new ones using the guidelines above. Use a different password for every site.
Step #4: Use two-factor authentication
Add another layer of protection by choosing two-factor authentication whenever you have that option.
Step #5: Be careful with security questions
Security questions are extremely insecure; anyone can Google the answers. If all a scammer has to do to retrieve your password is answer a security question, the strongest password is worthless.
Treat security questions like passwords. Never answer them truthfully. Instead, make up mnemonics or nonsensical answers that are difficult to crack, but easy for you to remember.
Step #6: Don’t let your browser or phone “remember” your passwords
Keep your passwords in your head and not on your devices. Otherwise, you’ll be in deep trouble if your computer or phone is swiped. | <urn:uuid:b791f465-9e4d-4b72-afbf-f0e9b37aafcb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tegfcu.com/blog/education/how-to-create-and-keep-strong-passwords/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.914099 | 613 | 2.078125 | 2 |
BERLIN—Rescuers in Germany and neighboring international locations ended up racing to obtain survivors from the region’s worst flooding this century, as the demise toll rose to far more than a hundred, with hundreds however missing, following days of torrential rainfall that some politicians and researchers linked to weather transform.
German authorities used helicopters and drones to identify survivors who fled to roofs and superior ground when their households ended up engulfed by flash floods that turned streets into rivers, swept absent cars and crushed homes.
The German armed service joined in the effort and hard work to guidance 1000’s of rescue staff amid a shortage of helicopters and other hardware. Hundreds of homes collapsed or turned severely destroyed in the western states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. At minimum 93 men and women experienced been killed in Germany, in accordance to community authorities on Friday.
Some 1,300 men and women are unaccounted for in Poor Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, a town about 35 miles south of Cologne, in accordance to community authorities, although that may in section be due to cellular phone products and services getting interrupted in elements of the region.
Thousands ended up getting set up in universities, inns and sports activities halls amid a warning not to return to their households even if the waters subside, due to risk of the foundations crumbling after days of flooding, Rhineland-Palatinate’s premier Malu Dreyer claimed Friday. Towns in the region are acknowledged for their medieval city cores produced up of half-timbered housing.
“I am shaken by the disaster that has brought on the suffering of so many men and women in the flooded areas. My condolences go to the family of the useless and missing. I thank from my heart the many tireless helpers and rescue products and services,” German Chancellor
claimed in a tweet unveiled by her spokesman on Thursday.
Related scenes ended up enjoying out in southern Belgium, where at minimum fourteen men and women died and many ended up getting evacuated in the worst-strike areas in the Wallonia region, community authorities claimed. Throughout the border in the Dutch province of Limburg, rescuers ended up evacuating areas strike by the floods.
Meteorologists blamed the flooding on a unusual summer months cyclone that lingered more than the flooded areas for days. They claimed variations in world-wide temperature styles meant the storm remained stationed more than Europe as an alternative of drifting eastward.

The jet stream, a westbound wind present-day more than the North Atlantic, has started to meander more than Western Europe in latest years, creating pockets of temperature that could briefly seize storms more than the region, claimed
a weather researcher with the Helmholtz-Center for Environmental Research in Germany.
There was no doubt that the catastrophe experienced been related to weather transform, claimed Germany’s Inside Minister
who known as for far more political motion to lessen greenhouse-fuel emissions in the long term.
Two firefighters died on Thursday even though rescuing men and women trapped by the floods, in accordance to authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The rainfall in the region has been subsiding because Thursday but infrastructure remained severely influenced.
Survivors instructed German television how the torrents of h2o took absent all of their belongings and in some cases swept absent their overall households. Sections of the Rhine, a major European waterway that swelled more than its banks, remained closed to visitors.
The floods coincide with a bout of serious heat and drought in elements of the U.S. and Europe, and some researchers say there is proof of extreme temperature situations becoming far more recurrent as weather transform progresses.
An Oct 2020 report by the United Nations Office for Catastrophe Hazard Reduction observed that the quantity of major all-natural disasters in the period of time 2000 to 2019 experienced risen seventy four.5% compared with the period of time 1980-1999, with a huge section of the big difference accounted for by temperature-related situations these types of as floods, storms and droughts.
Even though not all extreme temperature situations can be discussed by weather transform, many researchers have warned that world-wide warming would lead to far more unpredictable temperature styles and an greater occurrence of extreme situations, in accordance to Mr. Marx, the Helmholtz-Center researcher.
Mr. Marx mentioned that Germany experienced knowledgeable very similar disasters in the earlier 15 years and that it is challenging to set up a apparent hyperlink concerning individual situations and world-wide weather transform.
“But it is also legitimate that these types of situations are anticipated as the weather variations: a heated earth surface area signifies far more h2o in the atmosphere, and that can lead to serious rains and we are observing this consider area now,” Mr. Marx, who specializes in drought investigate, claimed.
There is apparent proof that particularly soaked periods that routinely consider area are finding wetter, even though particularly dry periods are becoming drier due to weather transform, he claimed.

In the Spring 2019 issue of INNOVATION magazine, Max Burton, IDSA, Global Lead for Connected Products at Fjord, outlines 10 key points the modern industrial designer must consider given the current landscape of our industry. He then invited nine world renowned designers with diverse backgrounds their thoughts on a simple question:
"In your career, what major change or impact have you noticed being a designer? Based on that, what advice would you give to a young designer embarking on their career or a seasoned professional seeking a way to progress?"
Below, we share their responses.
I am seeing more designers using their training in creating objects and experiences to explore authentic career paths that align with their core values. Although working as a designer in-house or in a corporate, consulting or agency setting or in a freelance role are great ways to gain technical skills and discover personal strengths, designers are increasingly breaking free of the traditional ways of working to find more fulfillment in their work and daring to pursue entrepreneurship, particularly women. The rise of crowdfunding has helped democratize design and lowered the barrier to entry to secure initial capital for many consumer products.
After working for others for most of my early career, I felt it was time to focus on a product area that was most meaningful to me and would be of help to others. For me, that area was in personal pleasure for women, but, in general, opportunities are ripe, particularly in taboo industries, or formerly taboo areas, such as cannabis, adult toys, feminine products, death, and money.
If you are interested in entrepreneurship, keep in mind that Design + Market = Business.
Just because your design is awesome does not necessarily mean you have a business. You need enough people who are willing to pay for your service or goods to build a business; otherwise, you just kind of have a hobby. Products that have more depth than aesthetic will be more sought after and have a greater chance of success in the marketplace—if you are enhancing people’s everyday lives.
While entrepreneurship can be glorified and romanticized, truthfully, it is not for everyone. Having an idea is only part of the equation, and 90 percent of the journey is the pursuit of realizing the idea and building a sustainable business. Most importantly, keep in mind that the entrepreneurial journey has a lot of ups and downs, and if you’re just looking for fame, fortune or a founder title, it may be very hard to handle the roller-coaster ride.
—Ti Chang, IDSA
Chang is an industrial designer/entrepreneur passionate about designing products for women. She is the co-founder and VP of design of CRAVE, specializing in modern sex toys.
The range of products, systems and relationships we endeavor to reimagine through thoughtful design is more varied and complex than ever. Therefore, design practice, in parallel with design education, has been under constant pressure to continuously evolve in order to stay relevant. The good news is that design, however it is defined, is receiving unprecedented interest, not just in the outcomes of our efforts but in how our community thinks and works. Numerous articles in print and online appear almost daily about how design thinking can be successfully applied to everything from social justice to increased profitability. After taking this all in, I can't think of another time when designers have had as many opportunities to define for themselves how they wish to participate in our world.
My advice for emerging professionals is to embrace the broad applicability of your design talents. Understand the value in applying your analytical skills to framing open-ended, ambiguous and tough problems. Help others synthesize disparate sources of information, opposing objectives and conflicting narratives. Make use of your communication skills to create compelling visualizations and iterative tests that propel us to engage in conversations about challenging subjects and lead us toward good decisions. And be thankful that your design training gives you the foresight to focus on understanding the whys before you go about designing the whats.
As technology continues to break down boundaries between disciplines, the fluidity of our profession has given birth to forms of practice that didn't exist less than a generation ago. For many of us, interaction design, systems design, design strategy, futures design, speculative design and social design were not part of the vocabulary when we began our careers. Finding one's niche in this dynamic landscape isn't easy and can be daunting. My own experience has shown me the possibilities that arise when we focus on our values and embrace the ambiguity that comes with working in a constantly expanding field.

When I was starting out, users were seen as subjects and designers saw themselves as the experts. Now the lines have blurred in a beautiful way. Today’s best designers, young and young at heart, have to understand how to include everyday people in the design process and work with them creatively to identify new opportunities and solutions.
Bringing simplicity and beauty to today’s highly complex products requires closer teamwork than ever. The boundaries between consultants, clients and other partners have also blurred, and our physical and digital spaces are much better tuned for working together more fluidly.
The designer’s toolbox has evolved vastly during my career, and I have found it important to constantly experiment with new tools and methods, not necessarily to master every tool but at least to understand the benefits and drawbacks and to appreciate the expertise of others.
Despite the significant change I have seen in the design industry, the understanding of people and what makes for good collaboration has—and will always be—at the center of good design.

I was schooled as an industrial designer with a Dutch / Japanese background. When I graduated, I was intrigued to work on projects that entailed designing new experiences. This meant that I worked my whole career on products that included hardware, software and services. Looking back, I have noticed that most disruption in the past 25 years has come from areas converting from analog to digital, transitioning from products being born with predefined functionality to products becoming ever-evolving experiences. These disruptions create opportunity. Opportunity for designers to impact the end product even more. Why?
No product can be made by one discipline. No experience can be made without the fusion of hardware, software and services. The most successful designers keep abreast and excel in their area of competence, but also lift themselves up to a conceptual level where they are able to bridge and impact other disciplines. Because, in the end, any product is only successful when there is cohesion. To achieve cohesion between so many disciplines, a product needs a clear point of view of its purpose and differentiation. Who comes up with this point of view? Turns out, often it’s the designer.
I have been most impactful as a designer or design leader when being involved in the product or even company vision overall. In my mind, the lines are often blurred between product management and design. I have founded disciplines in both areas and always aimed for more cohesion.
Where convention tells us that product management is about defining product requirements and designing is about coming up with a solution that best meets these requirements, the reality is that this often leads to unsuccessful experiences, especially when you are trying to come up with something new.
Product managers are trained to find and assess data. If they do this well, they take in an enormous amount of data looking at user intelligence, market intelligence and technology opportunity. This alone is a Herculean task. Then to take all this data and find the unique point of view and opportunity is incredibly hard. It requires creativity.
This is where you come in. Designers are trained to take that data and come up with new ideas. Of course, there is also the dirty secret that new experiences don’t come with data in the first place. You need to design first and create a unique point of view before you can test and determine if it is a good idea.
All this needs to happen before product requirements are locked. So don’t wait. Swim upstream and make it known you are interested in collaborating from the outset of a new initiative. Creativity in product definition is crucial. In my latest project, I co-designed the company strategy for Sonos. No surprise: it is heavily experience driven. And perhaps is an example that as a designer you can impact a company far beyond the limits of the look of a product.

The future of design is circular. If we continue to contribute to the linear design-produce-use-dispose progression of the status quo, then we are jeopardizing the very foundation of our economy—the resources that sustain us. The circular economy suggests a new way forward: to couple economic growth with responsible consumption and regeneration. This type of transition presents an incredible opportunity for design.
In a circular future, we will design products that are never completely disposed of but instead get better with every iteration. We will design services and experiences that will be relevant to people’s needs without being harmful to our planet. We will design with data in new ways that will continuously teach us how the systems we design should evolve. We will design networked companies to collaborate across industry silos and innovate together in service of outcomes that benefit all.
Designers have a unique role to play in this future, not least because it asks us to rethink how we design and to what end. Successful innovation and design is grounded in a balance of desirability, viability and feasibility; yet in the future state where circularity is commonplace, we know that the balance will need to shift. If the goal is circularity and regeneration, we can no longer start with desirability alone. Instead, we’ll need to put new emphasis on how things are made (feasibility) and how we can make economic sense of our designs within this new context (viability). The circular economy asks designers and innovators to be advocates for the entire system, not just for the needs of the people within it.
Many companies have stated publicly that they intend to join forces on the challenges and opportunities that a circular economy offers to them, and many are looking to designers to help them do so. Designers are uniquely equipped to make the circular economy a reality: We have a particular ability to frame questions to get ourselves and our collaborators into an opportunity mindset. We think and work holistically, and we create networks between collaborators. We move from research to design to production and back, and we constantly alternate between divergence and convergence. Most importantly: designers make ideas experiential and tangible, and prototyping and iterating are our tools for understanding and learning. All these qualities will play a significant role in our ability to move toward a circular economy and to design products, services, experiences and conditions for a circular future.
Designing for a circular economy should be top of mind for every designer because it’s the way of the future, it’s exciting to design on the edge of innovation, and it’s the right thing to do.

Consider the icons of modern design. Loewy, Eames, Rams. The names speak for themselves, synonymous with groundbreaking work that carries legacy and weight in our world today. These are individuals who had a vision to reshape our world.
But then there’s that word—individual. For me, design has been less about my individual view. Design is about our ability to solve problems in service to a greater world. Design is a verb: the act of inventing, collaborating, learning, and creating. This revelation came to me at the Stanford d.school, where it finally clicked that the art of design is equally as affecting as its usability. The emotional with the rational. Art is that great individualism. But innovation takes a village.
As our lives are increasingly digitally connected, the way we design has evolved from the lone creator. We now have the responsibility to create products that scale and connect to millions of people across infinite applications and services. No single designer can solve for those complexities. A designer is still a visionary, but it’s imperative that our visions contribute to the collective. To design the future, we need to be more open in our approach.
I understand on a personal level that this is easier said than done. I consider myself an introvert with a preference for listening over speaking, responding over reacting, looking inward over reaching outward. To ask a designer to be open is to ask them to leave the comforts of creative thinking. But this is exactly my challenge to designers everywhere: to see creativity as a more inclusive venture. By opening yourself up to new perspectives, new feedback, new ways of thinking and creating, you’re becoming more of a visionary than you could be on your own.
As the creator, you are a conduit for ideas, helping bring diverse perspectives into products and making everyone’s voices heard. Technology is a reflection of ourselves as humans, and design holds up that mirror. Your greatest strengths are in transparency and humility—creating possibilities rather than solutions. This is how we design a more open, inclusive world.

Throughout my career I have seen a tectonic shift in the role of industrial designer as well as the role of design in the industry as a whole. Designers and design have become much more valued, in part thanks to design-led companies that have demonstrated time and time again the value design can add to products, both in terms of delight through elevated user experiences as well as tangible value to the profit line.
I believe this has led to an academic search to unlock the magic of design so that other companies and industries can apply it as a winning formula. This has spawned a boom in Post-it-notes-driven, step-by-step formulaic approaches to innovation under the brand of design thinking, bringing together designers and non-designers alike. It has made our industry more approachable and understandable, and has opened up valuable seats for designers at decision-making tables.
While I appreciate the things design thinking has done for our industry, the takeaway I have had from experiencing this shift firsthand (and consuming my fair share of Post-it notes) is that no amount of processes or consumer insights can substitute for the key core skill industrial designers bring to the table—Design Doing (yes, the capitalization is intentional!). We should never undervalue the core skills, and we should celebrate the soft skills of aesthetics and gut instinct. The materiality and the form of objects are what ultimately give them undeniable and undefinable appeal, and this is something that can’t necessarily be taught or discovered; it is innate.
My advice to young designers is to focus on the design part first, to hone your eye and your instincts, learn the tools of your trade—you will be able to rationalize your process later. Get your hands dirty—no amount of design thinking will ever replicate the magic of picking up a pencil and beginning to sketch, or will teach you more than cutting some foam on a bandsaw and holding the idea in your hands. Use design thinking as a tool, just like any other in a workshop, and in equal measure.
Reimann, a wearables industrial design lead at Google, is focused on designing wearables that bring together the best of AI and software in approachable human ways.
In the late ’80s when I joined the design community, it seemed modern industrial design had just confidently emerged from the shadow of engineering- and manufacturing-based disciplines or craft-based industries like furniture, fixtures, equipment and packaging into mass markets. At this time, it was the dawn of the internet and the profession of industrial design was becoming more strategic, more market savvy and less of a pure applied art.
Immediately during my first job post college, I received some great advice from Silicon Valley design legend John Guenther (HP/Compaq/Tandem/Design-Four/FMC/Rand). He advised me to not only deeply learn (and never stop) the craft of industrial design but to also learn my collaborators’ jobs. In other words, learn as much about the interdependent disciplines around product design as possible: marketing, research, business planning, finance, manufacturing, material science, bio-science, engineering, advertising, etc. He said that this would give me the empathy and the understanding to successfully commercialize my design work into reality and ultimately help produce better results. This advice is even more important and relevant today.
Industrial design in 2019 is as relevant as ever, but, in many cases, it is even more segmented, dependent and empowered by diverse disciplines, collaborations and development tools. For example, I believe that designers are the human advocate throughout the design process; therefore, designers today should strive to understand people even more intimately, what drives them and what impacts them as individuals, groups and communities. In parallel, designers should increase their understanding of technologies that affect industrial designed products. This might mean learning more about all things digital, software, sensors, new materials, processes and tools, sustainability, crypto, UI, UX, AI, AR, VR, IoT, and so on.
That said, a word of caution. As important as it is to continuously learn about surrounding disciplines that affect design, some categories of design may not feel the pressure to expand beyond their craft, and I believe this too is absolutely needed. At the risk of contradicting myself, we need deep-diving specialist craft-focused designers.
Today, the more diverse design becomes, it seems that more designers are distracted from perfecting the craft of industrial design, often becoming too dependent on modern tools and technologies, often committing to directions before their work has fully matured and realized its potential. The craft I reference is understanding the history, influences and market factors before you begin your design work and then marinating ideas within a deep, iterative refinement process of form and detail development. Experienced product designers and developers should not deliver their worked too early but should strive to follow their visions into full development and manufacturing experiences when possible, including supporting their work into the market and eventually into people’s lives.

For me, the foundation of why I became a designer is built on the need to constantly search for new solutions that improve how people live their lives as individuals and as communities within a global society. Although this has not changed, I have a hypothesis that we need to reconsider how we teach design and develop as designers.
Instead of spending three to four years at college learning a specific design skill (i.e., industrial design), graduating, honing our craft professionally and then growing our “T” to become more rounded, I think we need to flip the “T” and spend the first three to four years being as broad as possible with a focus on the following foundational attributes:
- Amplified emotional intelligence and awareness
- Highly collaborative (virtually and physically) teamwork and leadership
- Creative thinking and nimbleness
- Commercial street smarts
- Communication and storytelling
- Experimenting and learning to design / create using new techniques and tools
I believe this new breed of creatives will have the creative confidence and ability to specialize and constantly retool, to learn and apply new skills in the world of design—or in any other profession.
I also believe this approach will help unlock designers from being a seen as having a specialist service-based skill to commanding a creative capability and voice that naturally drives and leads in boardrooms around the world.

In the California real estate and lending community, and especially for non real estate attorneys (normal people!), there is some misunderstanding and hidden mystery about what a notice of lis pendens is, what is its function, and what is its place in the law and the world of California real estate. This article will unravel that mystery, and will focus on California law and some general American legal principles that explain the substance and procedure of the notice of lis pendens.
The simple definition of a Lis Pendens is that it is a notice of a pending lawsuit that is recorded in the county where real estate is located. The subject of the lawsuit is usually a “real property claim,” – a rather ambiguous phrase that means a claim about title, ownership, and the right to possession, or the scope of an easement of the subject real property. Every lawsuit that involves the situs of real estate is not appropriate for a lis pendens recording and filing. For example, if a slip and fall accident occurred on real estate, a lis pendens would not have to be recorded on the chain of title because the claim does not involve title, ownership, right to possession, or the scope of an easement of the subject property.
In addition to the “real property claim” requirement, for a lis pendens notice to “stick” to the property’s title file, the claimant must also be prepared to establish the “probable validity of the claim by a preponderance of the evidence.” The term “probable validity of a claim” is set forth in the statutes, and defined that it is more likely than not that the claimant will obtain a judgment against the defendant on the claim. See Cal. Code of Civil Procedure section 405.30, and see companion sections 405.31 and 405.32.
The term “Lis Pendens” is a Latin phrase that literally means “suit pending.” Sometimes a lis pendens is synonymously called a “Notice of Pending Action.”
In the United States, a lis pendens is a written notice that provides notice to the world that a lawsuit has been filed concerning real estate, involving either the title to the property or a claimed ownership interest in it. The notice is filed in the county recorder’s office where the real property is located. Recording a lis pendens against a piece of property alerts a potential purchaser or lender that the property’s title is in question or in dispute. The pending claim and recorded notice may make the property less attractive to a buyer or a real estate secured lender. The lis pendens provides an important notice function. Once the notice is recorded, anyone who nevertheless purchases the land or property or who records a deed of trust secured by the real property described in the notice takes possession of it or an interest in real property that is subject to the ultimate decision of the lawsuit.
The lis pendens notice document contains the address and legal description of the property, makes reference to the litigation parties and court case number, and lets non parties know that the litigation is pending about the title to the subject property. Non-parties may want to intervene if they have a stake in the outcome of the case.
The lis penden’s notice refers to any pending lawsuit or to a specific situation with a public notice of litigation that has been recorded in the same county where the title of real property has been recorded. This notice secures a plaintiff’s claim on the property so that a transfer, sale, mortgage, or encumbrance of the property will not diminish plaintiff’s rights to the property, should the plaintiff prevail in its case. In some jurisdictions, when the notice is properly recorded, lis pendens is considered constructive notice to other litigants, purchasers, transferers, or other unrecorded or subordinate lienholders.
The clerk at the county recorder’s office will record a lis pendens upon request of anyone who claims to be entitled to do so (e.g. because the party has filed a lawsuit and wants to provide notice as per the code of civil procedure). If someone else with an interest in the property (e.g. the owner) believes the lis pendens is not proper, the party can then file motion in court to try to have it expunged.
The clerk at the county recorder’s office cannot decide if the recording of the lis pendens is technically lawful and legally proper. The clerk will check for mistakes as to the form of the document. The attorney for the plaintiff or claimant should make this initial determination as to the form and appropriateness of the lis pendens. If the lis pendens is in the proper format, the county recorder will record the lis pendens. The judge that is presiding over the case can decide if the lis pendens recording is proper and lawful.
A lis pendens notice provides constructive notice of the pending legal action, and it serves to place a cloud on the title of the property in question until the lawsuit is adjudicated, and the notice released or the lis pendens is expunged. A recorded lis pendens may show up on a preliminary title report or title recording analysis profile because there is a recording number associated with it. The lis pendens is the “monkey wrench,” that is found in the bowl of oatmeal! Prudent buyers that notice the recording of the lis pendens will be unwilling to purchase land subject to a lis pendens or will only purchase the land at a steep discount. Prudent lenders will not lend money secured by the subject property. Title insurance companies may not insure the title to such land in the future until the lawsuit is finalized: title is taken subject to the outcome of the lawsuit. Because so much real property is purchased with borrowed money, this usually keeps the owner from selling the property. It also may prevent the owner from borrowing money secured by the property.
It is important to note that the presence of a lis pendens does not prevent or necessarily invalidate a transfer of an interest in the subject property,although it makes such a transfer subject to the result and outcome of the litigation. Thus, the owner is not prevented from selling the land for (non-borrowed) cash, pledging it as security for a speculative loan, or giving it away- however, all are subject to and will be affected by the outcome of the lawsuit that is referenced in the notice.
However, once the lis pendens is recorded, the recipient (a “purchaser” or “grantee pendente lite“) would be deemed to have notice of the litigation and might lose their title position to the property if the plaintiff’s suit prevails.
One should be cautious in recording, serving, and filing a notice of lis pendens. In some cases recording a lis pendens is mandatory – for example for a quiet title action or an eminent domain action. For other situations, it may not be. A lis pendens should only be used in the proper case and factual circumstances where a real property claim is involved, and the claimant’s case has some probable validity. For example, you should not record a lis pendens just to force a party to settle. See, the court’s reasoning, for example, in Hilberg v. Superior Court (1989, 2nd Dist.), 215 Cal. App. 3d 539, 263 Cal. Rptr. 675.
The California lis pendens statutes are structured to punish the wrongful, malicious lis pendens filer by shifting attorneys, costs, and damages. The recordation of a lis pendens directly effects marketability of title and the ability to obtain real estate financing. There is exposure to incur significant attorneys’ fees, costs, and damages for recording and filing an improper notice. A relatively straightforward lawsuit can become a costly ancillary dispute when a lis pendens is not recorded in good faith and is properly challenged.
Sometimes a party to litigation seeks to record a lis pendens to seek financial or legal leverage or to force a settlement in the lawsuit. An escrow may be on hold until the legal dispute is resolved. The recordation of the lis pendens may be unlawful if the lis pendens is filed in a lawsuit that does not involve a “real property claim,” and or the claim lacks merit. Sometimes the facts may be merky, or the claimant may not be able to prove the probable validity of the claim. The party that is the “subject” of the lis pendens could incur losses because the party’s title is not marketable with the lis pendens notice. The party may not be able to sell or refinance the property. Under certain circumstances, the opposing party may file Motion to Expunge or a Motion for the Claimant to Post a Bond (also known as an undertaking).
A Motion to Expunge a Lis Pendens can be a contentious and expensive litigation. California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 405.30-405.33 govern the California rules for a Motion to Expunge a Lis Pendens. The basic rules and procedures are fairly self-explanatory. Your attorney should also review the case law for precedents that are on point.
Therefore, the lis pendens statutes contain cost shifting provisions. The court must direct that the party prevailing on any motion for expungement or other relief under Cal. Code of Civil Procedure Section 405.30-405.39 be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of making or opposing the motion, unless the court finds that the other party acted with substantial justification or that other circumstances make the imposition of attorneys fees and costs unjust. See Cal. Code of Civil Procedure Section 405.38. The court has some discretion, whether or not to award attorney’s fees and costs, and may do so swiftly if a party did not act with “substantial justification.”
If you have fallen asleep at the beach or dozed off in the hot tub reading this article- don’t despair. The subject of “lis pendens” practice is not that exciting. But if you do get through this article intact, you will have unraveled the mystery of the lis pendens and be able to discuss it at cocktail parties and banquets with the best of real estate professionals.
In the realm of real estate litigation, the “lis pendens” is really the “side show,” of the main event which are the claims in the main case. The bottom line is that recording of a lis pendens notice does provide a very important notice function to the world where a real estate dispute could affect non parties to the legal action, bona fide purchasers, and real estate lenders.

A couple of years ago my husband, Bill Johnson, and I took a long weekend to tour the Greene County Barn Quilt Trail located near Stanardsville. The trail took us off the beaten path through beautiful countryside. We stopped to take pictures and met some of the barn owners who were so welcoming. Barn quilt trails are found all over the United States and are ideal for relaxing and social distancing from the privacy of your vehicle. Warning—an old-fashioned paper map is suggested because cell tower signals for GPS may be spotty. We stayed at The Lafayette Inn in the town. It is charming, perfectly located in the center of the trail and serves the best food in the area.

The radioactive carbon isotopes created by the impact of cosmic rays with the nitrogen atoms of the atmosphere find their way, via carbon dioxide and photosynthesis, into living material. When an organic material dies it ceases to acquire further 14C atoms, and its 14C fraction declines at a fixed exponential rate due to the radioactive decay of 14C. Comparing the remaining 14C fraction of a sample to that expected from atmospheric 14C allows the age of the sample to be estimated.
An element, such as uranium, whose isotopes are all radioactive.
The process of producing an image on a sensitive surface by radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays passing through an object.
A synonym for radionuclide.
The study and use of radiation and radioactive substances for the treatment of diseases.
The dissociation of molecules by radiation, for example in a reactor core, when the water used for cooling breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen.
An instrument that measures the intensity of radiant energy.

New York City Store Actually Charging People for Tap Water
It should come as no surprise that the newest startup in the East Village section of New York City is even more ridiculous than those that precede it. The Big Apple is known for its food 'niche' stores -- The Hummus Place, The Dumpling Man, Rice to Riches, a spot dedicated solely to rice pudding. And Pickles. Oh, and Mayonaise. Who even LIKES mayo that much to warrant an entire business dedicated to its "Empire"?
So when we heard about the latest of these "boutique" stores, we were only too amused to hear what it specializes in: tap water.
That's right, the stuff you get free when you turn the tap in the kitchen at home. The shop is cunningly called "Molecule," likely fooling us into thinking this enterprise has the backing of the scientific community. We're sceptical to say the least...
New York City's tap water has long been a source of civic pride and the city isn't even required to filter it. Sure, there is stuff added to the water, but that doesn't immediately mean it's bad for us. The EPA actually requires treated tap water to have a detectable level of chlorine to help prevent contamination.
Yes, chlorine can react with organic material in water to create low-level contaminants, but these are closely regulated by the EPA (who, try to remember, do have our best interests at heart). The real danger is eliminating its use.
This "cafe" uses a $25,000 filtration system that deploys ultraviolet rays, ozone treatments and reverse osmosis, in a seven-stage processing treatment to create what they call pure H20. Then they charge $2.50 a glass for what they call the "cleanest water you've ever had." You can also fill up your own bottles at the store, or have jugs of their "pharmaceutical-grade water" delivered to your door via tricycle. (Yes, seriously.)
The Journal of General Internal Medicine published a study on the mineral contents of different waters. Guess what? The minerals in the tap water "may provide clinically important portions of the recommended dietary intake".
So what is 'Molecule' doing removing all this from our water?!
They actually seem to agree with us on that one: available to add into your water are shots of vitamins A, B, C, D and E. Also blasts called "energy," "immunity" and "skin, hair and nails." That last one uses horsetail extract. Tasty, huh?
To keep up with the Vitamin Water and Gatorade market, the store is also offering electrolyte and pH infusions. Great plan, please re-add everything you've just removed and then feel free to steal some money from our pocket!
If any of you have sampled this pricey scam, do let us know if it tastes as excellent as heavenly waters should do. Mr. Ruhf, the stores, owner, claims it's "fluffy" with a "smooth" finish. Hmmm... | <urn:uuid:887d134f-e122-47e6-b29d-6c07edf6f8dd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thefw.com/tap-water-store/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.956863 | 650 | 1.96875 | 2 |

Shocking Pink (1949) By Carmen Herrera is your Pink Thing of the Day, not because it is an all-pink thing, but because of its lively title!
Herrera is a 101-year-old Cuban American artist who has a retrospective of her work, Lines of Sight, up at the Whitney Museum in NYC through January 9th, 2017, if you want to see more of her amazing paintings and sculptures.
Most of the better-known artists of the Geometric Abstraction school of art — such as Josef Albers, Ellsworth Kelly, Kenneth Noland, and Frank Stella — are men; but that doesn’t mean there were no equally talented women artists working alongside these giants, just because we don’t know about them.
One such artist is the Cuban-American painter Carmen Herrera, who, at 101 years of age, is likely the oldest working professional artist in America. Right now, you can see a collection of Herrera’s work spanning three decades at the Whitney Museum, and it is pretty sweet. Carmen Herrara: Lines of Sight is the first museum exhibition of this groundbreaking artist in New York City in nearly two decades. Focusing on the years 1948 to 1978, the period during which Herrera developed her signature style, the show features more than fifty works, including paintings, three-dimensional works, and works on paper.
Lines of Sight begins with the formative period following World War II, when Herrera lived in Paris and experimented with different modes of abstraction before establishing the visual language that she would explore with great nuance for the succeeding five decades. Many of these works have never been displayed before in a museum.
Blanco Y Verde (White and Green) Installation View
The second section of the show is an unprecedented gathering of works from what Herrera considers her most important series, Blanco y Verde (1959–1971). Nine paintings from this series illustrate the highly innovative way in which Herrera conceptualized her paintings as objects, using the physical structure of the canvas as a compositional tool and integrating the surrounding environment.
With work dating from approximately 1962 to 1978, the final section illuminates Herrera’s continued experimentation with figure/ground relationships and highlights the architectural underpinnings of many of her compositions. This section includes four wooden sculptures — Herrera’s “estructuras”— as well as her brilliant Days of the Week, a series of seven vivid paintings.
For those who can’t make it to New York to see Lines of Sight in person, you can check out a new documentary, The 100 Years Show — which celebrates Herrera’s career chronicles her preparation for the Whitney exhibit — which is currently streaming on Netflix.
Carmen Herrera: Lines of Sight will be on Exhibit Through January 9th, 2017, at The Whitney Museum, Located at 99 Gansevoort Street, in Manhattan. | <urn:uuid:22e5a3b5-5c37-42f8-8dac-a03104f014fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://worleygig.com/tag/lines-of-sight/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.948979 | 597 | 2.328125 | 2 |
Always had a thing for large dog breeds? Here is an overview of the 25 largest dog breeds.
You will be amazed at the diversity among them. Some have been bred to hunt large animals, others to survive in extreme conditions, and there are some which have been bred large to intimidate intruders and be better guard dogs.
No matter how intimidating some of these large dogs may look, in general, larger dog breeds are usually loving, loyal, relaxed, and mild-tempered animals. This makes them excellent pets!
Properly socialized and trained, large dogs can get along with all of your other pets, with the kids, and with all of the members of your family.
The fact is that being large animals, these dogs will most probably prefer to take naps all day long, as long as you provide them with the daily walks and exercise they need.
Make sure to get the right dog leash for your dog.
Keep in mind that medium and long-coated large dogs will require more time to perform their grooming and keep them healthy and great-looking.
This makes them perfect for homes with big yards and even for smaller ones and apartments.
But, their size and their instincts to protect or hunt can be a problem to deal with if you have little or no experience with dogs at all.
So, even though there is no general rule about which dogs are large, here are 25 of the largest dog breeds, which are all seriously big pups.
Largest Dog Breed
Here is the list of the biggest dogs in the world.
Caucasian Shepherd Dog
The Caucasian shepherd dog was first bred in the Northern Caucasian area as a guardian dog. It reaches up to 30 inches at the shoulder and a weight of up to 130 lbs. And it is everything but a lap dog.
It is a strong-boned and muscular dog that is fierce, fearless, and self-confident whenever there is a threat. Otherwise, it is a loving, soft, and kind mannered pet that can get along very well with the entire family as well as with other pets.
Caucasian Shepherds have been used for centuries for protecting properties, livestock from predators (even from bears), and other duties. Today, they’re mostly used as watchdogs or companions.
There are many variations of this breed. Two of the most popular ones are the Mountain type with a long coat and the Steppe type, which have a smaller body mass and a short coat.
Given its nature of always feeling the urge to protect its family, the Caucasian Shepherd dog is definitely not a dog for first-time dog owners. It needs very serious training and socializing in order to prevent incidents of the dog attacking other people because it is protecting you.
When properly trained to understand that all members of the household are before it in the pack, the Caucasian Ovcharka will become an immensely devoted, loyal, and loving member of your family.
Do keep in mind that it is incredibly strong, so you shouldn’t let children or elderly people walk the dog.
The English Mastiff is the heaviest dog breed. The heaviest dog from this massive breed named Zorba weighed a massive 343 Lbs.
An average mastiff can reach a height of 27–30 inches at the shoulder and a weight of 130-220 lbs.
So, if you are looking for the biggest dog breed in terms of mass, then the definite winner is the English Mastiff.
Being bred as a working dog for blood sports such as baiting bulls, bears, and even lions, the size and the mass of this dog are crucial for this purpose.
Back in the Roman Empire, Caesar was so impressed by the Mastiff when he invaded Britain that he reportedly took a few dogs back home, where they were used in lion and gladiator fights.
But today, the large-headed, huge Mastiff is mostly preferred as a loving and gentle family pet and companion. Dogs from this breed are also often used as therapy dogs, as well as for search and rescue, weight pulling, and tracking.
It has a mellow, loyal, and even-tempered nature and is excellent for families with kids who will enjoy playing with their gigantic friend.
It needs to be with its people because long isolation can lead to destructive behavior and anxieties. Mastiffs will require daily walks and a lot of training and attention if you want the entire family to feel happy.
You can explore further this colossal ancient breed in our dedicated Mastiff guide.
Unlike many of the other large canine breeds, the Newfoundland was bred as a fisherman work dog and not a guard dog. These huge adorable dogs were used to assist fishermen on boats and could haul lines and nets, as well as jump in the water to save people or restore items that had fallen off the boat.
The Newfoundland is an impressive, active water dog that can reach up to 200 lbs. The largest dog from this breed reportedly weighed 260 lbs.!
Undoubtedly, the Newfies are among the best swimmers among canines. They are, in fact, still used in search and rescue water operations. They are highly intelligent and gentle-natured dogs, which are usually black in color but can also be grey or brown. They look even bigger than they actually are thanks to their thick double coat, which is meant to keep them safe and warm even in freezing waters.
Newfoundlands are incredibly affectionate to their families and are exceptionally gentle and protective with kids, which is why some people refer to them as Gentle Giants or Dog Nannies.
They do require daily walks, exercise, and training, and it is advisable that you ensure a place where they can enjoy an occasional swim to keep them active and happy.
You may have seen this eye-catching mop-like large dog before. The Komondor was originally bred in Hungary and used for guarding property and livestock. Today the breed has been declared a national treasure in its home country.
You can never mistake this breed for any other thanks to the distinctively long and mop-like corded coat.
Dogs from this fascinating large breed can reach up to 31.5 inches and weigh up to 130 lbs.
They are not too suitable for apartment life, even though they are quiet and calm indoors. But it is in their nature to guard and roam outdoors, especially at night, so if you have a large backyard with a fence, you can get one of these dogs. Keep in mind that they do bark quite a lot and can be quite uncomfortable with strangers if not socialized and trained properly.
Otherwise, Komondors are very loyal pets and are strongly devoted to all family members, and are especially patient with children and family pets.
Overall, like many of the other large working dogs, the Komondor is not suitable for people with any experience with dogs. It does require a lot of serious training and socializing as well as moderate daily exercise if you want it to stay healthy and stay out of trouble with the neighbors and other people and animals.
The Scottish deerhound is one of the most ancient hunting breeds in the world. It originated from Scotland, where it was used for red deer chasing and hunting. With its long, big-boned legs and hound-like structure, this strong and large dog can easily reach its prey thanks to its amazing speed.
These dogs are quite tall, with a height of up to 32 inches and a weight of up to 110 lbs. for males.
Scottish deerhounds look like Greyhounds but with coats. Their long tails hang to the ground, and they can have either black or blue noses. The coloring of the coat can be in various color combinations, and it is harsher and wiry on the legs and body and softer at the head, belly, and chest.
An interesting fact is that the breed almost became instinct at one point in history when only aristocrats with high titles were allowed to own one. Thankfully, the breed was successfully restored in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Dogs from this large breed are very loyal, gentle, loving, and affectionate, and are very close to their families and friendly with strangers as well.
They are very good with kids but should be kept away from other animals, due to their strong hunting drives.
One of the best features of the Scottish deerhound is that it barks very little, which makes it a lovely quiet large dog suitable for a family pet. They do require long walks, but not too much extensive exercise.
The St. Bernard was bred in the Swiss and Italian Alps for mountain rescue operations by the monks in the Saint Bernard Hospice. They were used for clearing paths in the deep snow, and human rescue operations in the very snowy and dangerous St. Bernard passes connecting Switzerland and Italy.
More than 2,000 people, including Napoleon’s soldiers, were saved in the last 200 years by dogs from this amazing large dog breed.
One of the most legendary dogs from this large breed named Barry reportedly saved nearly 100 lives in the mountains at the beginning of the 18th century. His body is exhibited at the National History Museum in Berne, Switzerland.
These dogs are enormous because they were used for walking through heavy snow and searching for avalanche victims and lost people in the challenging mountain terrains.
Dogs from this breed can reach up to 36 inches tall and can weigh up to 120 lbs. The record for the heaviest St. Bernard is held by a dog named Benedictine, who weighed 366 lbs.
Needless to say, they are highly resistant to cold and are powerful dogs with a great sense of direction.
Today, instead of roaming in the mountains and offering people in trouble a sip of rum from the barrels on their necks, they are most popular as family pets.
St.Bernards are very friendly, gentle, and loving with children and with other pets.
The Leonberger is a crossbreed from St.Bernards, Newfoundlands, and Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. As you can imagine, the size of these canines is quite impressive. Even though they were bred as companion dogs, they are great dogs for rescue work, herding, and swimming.
The average height of the males is about 29.5 inches, while females are usually about 27.5 inches. These dogs weigh about 140-150 lbs.
The Leonberger has a striking, furry, water-resistant coat and is quite a robust dog. It is brilliant, loyal, kind, and playful, which makes dogs from this breed perfect family pets. It does shed quite a bit, so be prepared for dealing with all that grooming and cleaning if you add a Leonberger to your family.
Unfortunately, they have a rather low life expectancy of just 7 years. But for its relatively short life, a dog from this breed will bring pure love and joy to your whole family.
It will also attract a lot of attention when you go for a walk, so be prepared to be stopped by complete strangers who will want to pet it and take photos with it.

The Russian black terrier was created in the USSR before WWII and was used as a working military dog. It is a cross of 17 different dog breeds and is a brainy and highly trainable working dog.
The height of the males can reach 30 inches at the shoulder, and their weight is up to 130 lbs. Their thick, coarse, waterproof double coats protect them from freezing temperatures, which makes dogs of this breed suitable for colder climates.
Overall, the Russian black terrier is a very courageous, calm, and self-assured dog. It has a strong guarding instinct, which makes it an excellent watchdog. It is very protective of the children at home and gets along well with other smaller pets if they are raised together.
But they are large, strong, and muscular dogs that do need a strong trainer and leader, as well as extensive socialization due to the natural suspicion of all strangers.
Also, they require intensive exercising, as they are very active dogs with huge energy and stamina levels. But they are quite sedentary when indoors, so you can get a Russian black terrier even if you live in an apartment. They shouldn’t be left outside or crated alone for long periods of time.
The Neapolitan Mastiff is not as colossal as the English Mastiff but is still a huge and popular dog breed. Its proportions can reach 130 to 155 lbs. for males and up to 140 lbs. for females. The height of an average Neapolitan male mastiff is between 26-31 inches.
Their distinctive facial wrinkles, as well as their body folds, make them easily recognizable.
Neapolitan Mastiffs are highly intelligent dogs that are very protective of their families and home, which makes them excellent guard dogs, but can pose problems if they are not socialized and trained right. They are not as reliable as alarms, as they tend to be discreet and prefer to sneak up on potential intruders rather than bark.
These dogs are not appropriate for novice dog owners as they do need extensive socialization and training.
The ancestor of the Neapolitan Mastiff was the Roman molossus dog. Today, the dogs from this breed require personal attention and love and should not be left in isolation outdoors because this can lead to destructive behavior. They can go well with one long walk per day only and still feel happy.
Overall, they are loving and calm animals, which make great pets for families with grown-up children.
The Irish wolfhound is one of the highest dog breeds. The minimum stature of dogs from this breed is at least 34 inches, but their weight will rarely exceed 120 lbs. for males and 105 lbs. for females.
The breed was developed for hunting wolves and for guarding. The first records of this breed are from as early as 7000 B.C.
Irish wolfhounds can have varied personalities but are often quite individualistic and have their personal quirks. At the same time, they are not notorious for being aggressive or for acting impulsively.
Today, Irish wolfhounds are popular family dogs that are known to be quite reserved, easygoing, intelligent, and quiet.
They don’t have problems with territorial aggression toward other dogs, but due to their hunting experience, they do tend to course other dogs.
Irish Wolfhounds are generally quite gentle with children and are easy to train, but they are individualists who have been bred to hunt alone and far away from their owners.

The Great Dane is widely considered as the giant dog breed, and while it is not the heaviest of the dogs (100-120 lbs.), it is definitely among the highest ones.
The height of the average Great Dane is about 28 to 30 inches, but it can be taller. In fact, a dog from this breed named Zeus still holds a record as the highest living dog with a height of 44 inches.
Unfortunately, as with other giant dogs, the lifespan of the Great Danes is only about 6 to 8 years, even though some dogs can live to 10 years and older. The aforementioned Zeus died at the age of 5 from old age in 2014.
They were bred in Germany from a cross between Irish wolfhounds and English Mastiffs.
These giant dogs are friendly to familiar people and other dogs and pets and are especially gentle with children. They are, after all, guardian dogs, so they shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Great Danes come in various colors, with the most impressive ones being the black and white harlequin types.
These gentle giants are elegant and noble-like creatures, which do require a lot of attention, training, and love. But they are people pleasers and will give back all of their affection and loyalty in return.
The Tosa Inu is a gigantic Japanese fighting dog, which resulted from cross-breeding of Japanese breeds and European ones, such as Mastiffs, Bull terriers, St.Bernards, and Great Danes.
Tosa Inus are sometimes referred to as Japanese mastiffs and even as Canine sumo wrestlers.
The height of this rare dog can reach 32 inches at the withers, and its weight among non-Japanese breeders is 130 to 200 lbs. In Japan, the dogs from this breed are typically smaller and weigh less.
Tosa Inus have quite cute faces, thanks to the wrinkled foreheads and the sad brown eyes, but keep in mind that they were explicitly bred for fighting. They are incredibly robust and muscular and, thankfully, are not people-aggressive.
Tosa Inus are very affectionate and gentle with kids but will have a tendency to protect them at all costs.
If you choose to adopt a dog from this breed, make sure that you are prepared to spend a lot of time and energy training it, socializing it but without being too harsh, because this can have the opposite effect and make the dog unstable and unsafe for family life.
They are easy to groom and have a rather long life expectancy of 10 to 12 years as compared to some of the other giant breeds.
As its name suggests, the Bernese mountain dog originated in mountain farms in the Bern region in Switzerland.
Apart from being very large, the most distinctive feature of this breed is the beautiful tri-colored markings on the coat and the face.
Male Berneses reach a height of up to 27.5 inches and can weigh up to 125 lbs. and females are slightly smaller.
In general, these beautiful dogs are very kind natured and docile dogs that are friendly with other pets and with children.
Their affectionate and sweet nature is in stark contrast to their large and powerful build. They live to please their owners and will be happy to join you along wherever you go.
At home, Berneses are calm and prefer napping, but being built for hard work, they do require long walks, exercise, and playtime.
They are protective of their families but are not threatening to strangers. They will get attached to all family members, so there will be no jealousy among you when it comes to who is the dog’s favorite person at home!
The Boerboel is a large dog breed originating from South Africa. Boerboel means “farm dog” in Dutch. Boerboels have a height of about 27 inches and higher and can weigh up to 220 lbs.
They are perfect as companions and playmates for children and are kind and loyal to their family members.
Although these dogs are very intelligent and obedient, they do have a strong territorial instinct, so they can be great watchdogs.
Of course, like all other large dog breeds, you need to pay special attention to socializing and obedience training them to keep everybody safe. It is especially important to keep puppies away from aggressive dogs in order to avoid your Boerboel pet from becoming defensive and fearful manner later on. Also, be careful when introducing strangers to your home, and make sure you introduce them to your dog before letting them in.
They are intelligent and loving dogs but are definitely not recommended for first-time dog owners.
This is an ancient flock guardian dog breed originally bred by nomads in China, Tibet, Nepal, and Central Asia. The male dogs from this breed can reach a height of up to 33 inches and a weight of 100 to 160 lbs.
These dogs were used to protect flocks in Asia, which means that they were bred to fight off attacks by large predators such as wolves and leopards.
Tibetan Mastiffs are very impressive large dogs with long beautiful coats and tails. They are bound to stop the traffic as you walk around with them wherever you go.
But looks aren’t everything. Even though dogs from this breed are kind, patient, and loving dogs, they are bred as flock guardians and will often have their own opinion about what they should do, which is why Tibetan mastiffs are definitely not champions when it comes to obedience or agility competitions.
Overall, they are fearless and very protective of their owners. They can get along with children as long as they grow up together, but it is not recommended to bring a Tibetan Mastiff into a home with young children. The problem is the strong protective instinct that may kick in when your child is playing with other kids, which can be mistaken for aggression by the dog. This may cause you to stop inviting guests and play friends for your kids at home. You should socialize the dog properly from an early age to teach it to control these instincts and its natural suspicion of strangers.
Also, they are generally quiet at home and can be barkers and diggers if left outside, so it is a good idea to let your dog sleep indoors.
Anatolian shepherds are believed to have originated more than 6,000 years ago in the Anatolia region of Turkey. They were bred and used for guarding flocks without their owners nearby, which is why it is crucial to socialize Anatolian shepherd pups when they are young properly.
The height of these large working dogs can reach over 31 inches, and their weight over 150 lbs. for males and slightly smaller for females. Their impressive thick coats make them look even larger.
The life expectancy of dogs from this breed is longer than that of many of the other large breeds and is about 11 to 15 years.
In Turkey, the ears of the Anatolian shepherds are cropped, but in other countries where ear cropping and tail docking have been outlawed, they have their natural V-shaped hanging ears. There are short and rough coat variations of this breed, and they have high set tails that can be curled and will remain curled no matter the mood of the dog.
The classic coloring of the coat is fawn, with a specific black mask on the face, but you can see Anatolian shepherds in all kinds of colors and with all kinds of markings.
Anatolian Shepherds are intelligent, independent, calm, and loyal dogs, which, though, are very reserved to strangers and have a strong protective instinct when it comes to their families. So, very serious socialization needs to be done in order to prevent this type of extreme guarding behavior against other dogs or people.
The Dogo Argentino is a pack hunting large white dog which originated in Argentina. It was bred to hunt boars and pumas, which is why it is a very large, athletic, and strong dog.
Dogo Argentino dogs can reach a height of 30 inches and can weigh up to 120 lbs. they are very loyal dogs that are gentle to their families but have a strong prey instinct and can be very protective and distrustful of other animals or humans. This is why this breed is recommended for skilled dog owners only.
Dogo Argentino dogs have white and very short coats and can sometimes have a black spot somewhere near one of the eyes or on their heads.
They do require a lot of exercise and activity, as well as mental training because if they get bored, they can become destructive.
Even though they are naturally bred to get along with the other dogs in the hunting pack, some dogs of this breed have been used as fighting dogs, which is why the breed has been prohibited in a number of countries, including the UK, Australia, Denmark, Singapore, Iceland, and others.
Today, Dogo Argentinos are still used for big game hunting, as well as for search and rescue, police, and military work. They can be excellent family pets, watchdogs, and loyal companions if they have undergone good training and socialization.
The Bully Kutta is often referred to as the Pakistani Mastiff but is actually a decedent of an ancient and now extinct Pakistani dog called Alaunt. It was bred for hunting and fighting and has a strong resemblance to the ancient Mesopotamian and Central Asian warfighting dogs. Bully Kutta means “heavily wrinkled dog” in Urdu.
The Bully Kutta is mainly white, but there are other color variations, including black, brown brindle, fawn, and bi-colored.
They are very large dogs that are about 35 inches tall and can weigh up to 210 lbs.
Dogs from this breed are friendly, docile, and trainable, which makes them excellent companions and watchdogs for people who have experience with large dogs and can establish themselves in front of the pack before the dog.
But keep in mind that they drool a lot and take up a lot of space, so only adopt a Bully Kutta if you can ensure that it has sufficient space. Also, it is not the right dog for families with young children.
This rare dog has very thick and strong bones and is one of the strongest dog breeds in the world. Also, its jaws are incredibly strong and provide a very strong grip, as a result of its history of being used for flock guarding and hunting of big game such as cheetahs, lions, bears, tigers, and buffalos.
Its lifespan is about 8 to 10 years, and it doesn’t require too much exercise, as it will rather sleep all day long instead.

Like the St. Bernard, the Greater Swiss mountain dog also comes from the Swiss Alps. It is a heavy-boned, strong dog that is fast enough to be an effective working farm dog – as a guard, a herder, as well as for pulling heavy carts.
The Greater Swiss mountain dog is the oldest Swiss breed and is also the largest of them all. The adult males can reach up to 30 inches in height and over 150 lbs.
As a pet, this dog is an intelligent, happy-natured, and sociable dog that will get along and show a strong affinity for both children and adults.
Swissies are often winners in various dog sports disciplines such as weight pulling and agility because they enjoy staying busy.
Swiss Mountain Dogs are rather rare but have a strong following from their devoted fans. They are beautiful dogs with deep and loud barks. Being so big, the Greater Swiss dogs are not suitable for small apartments. They do need some moderate exercise, so you can easily have them as pets as long as you have sufficient space for them at home. If you have a fenced yard – that’s even better.
As with the other giant breeds, you must start socializing and training dogs from this breed early on. Puppies must be taught to be friendly with people and with other dogs. They do have a long puppyhood and will remain with a puppy-like mentality up to the age of 3 years.
So, even though they are gentle and good with children, a large puppy can accidentally knock over very young kids, which is why you need to supervise it around very small children.
The Kangal is another gigantic Turkish livestock guardian dog breed that makes it to our list. The Kangal male dog has an average height of 30 to 32 inches and weighs up to 145 lbs. Female Kangals are a bit shorter and lighter.
It is not as heavy as some of the Mastiff-type breeds, which makes it much agiler and faster than the other large dogs. In fact, dogs from this breed can reach a speed of 30 miles per hour!
If you socialize it properly, the Kangal will be very friendly to all family members – adults and children alike, as well as to other people.
It is an independent and powerful dog, which is calm and controlled and can be very defensive of its family.
It is quite inactive indoors but will feel better if you have a fenced large yard, so apartment living is not suitable for dogs from this breed. It is a human-oriented dog that may be aggressive to intruders at night.
Regular grooming of the coat is required, especially during the shedding seasons, when it does shed heavily.
Kangals need both physical and mental stimulation, such as daily jogs, walks, or runs, as well as socialization in order to stay calm and happy.
Remember that just like other large dogs, you will need to supervise your Kangal around very small kids, even though it is loving and affectionate, because it may accidentally tip over and injure a baby or toddler.
The Landseer looks a lot like a Newfoundland but has a black and white coat. It has similar body proportions and reaches a height of 32 inches and 180 lbs. of weight.
It is an unusually sweet, serene, and gentle dog breed.
The Landseer is also a swimming dog, which is often used for the search and rescue of drowning people. It is more responsive and faster than Newfoundland and thus is easier to train.
Having longer legs than the Newfoundland, the Landseer is an elegant, hardy, and agile dog with a wide muzzle and small triangular ears. It has webbed feet for faster swimming and a water-repellent coat. If it lives indoors, it may lose its oily undercoat. You should avoid shampooing and bathing the dog unless absolutely necessary. Use dry shampoo to keep it clean instead.
Overall, the Landseer is a devoted and dignified dog that has a generous and calm temperament. It is an intelligent and patient dog that can become a very loyal and devoted pet. It is great with children and is a sociable dog that requires companionship. It prefers cooler climates and has a life expectancy of less than 10 years.
If you want your Landseer to be completely happy, make sure that you take it somewhere near water so that it can enjoy some swim time!
This breed is often called a French or Bordeaux Mastiff and is recognized as one of the oldest French canine breeds.
The Dogue de Bordeaux is a very muscular and powerful dog that is not as tall as some of the largest breeds (it reaches up to 27 inches) but weighs over 150 lbs. on average. Its head is massive and is probably the biggest head in the canine world when compared to body size.
It was traditionally used as a guard dog, as well as for hauling and pulling heavy objects.
The dogs from this French breed, unfortunately, have one of the shortest life spans of all dog breeds and are expected to live for only 5 to 6 years.
It is calm inside but energetic and active outdoors, so you will need to ensure it takes daily walks and enjoys some games and play outdoors before getting back home and snoozing on the couch together for the rest of the day.
The Cane Corso is a close cousin of the Neapolitan Mastiff. It is highly valued as a guarding and hunting dog. It has lots of muscles but is not as bulky as the other mastiff breeds. It is also a bit smaller than the Neapolitan Mastiff. The height of the Cane Corso reaches up to 28 inches, and its weight up to 110 lbs.
The life expectancy of these elegant dogs is 10 to 12 years.
Cane Corso dogs are easy to train and very smart but are also confident and assertive protectors. Their imposing appearance is sufficient to scare away intruders, so you can feel secure at home with your Corso.
Again, socialization with dogs and people from an early age is vital if you want to avoid dangerous situations and problems later on with your faithful and devoted personal guard.
Being bred to hunt big game such as wild boar, as well as to guard properties, the Cane Corso dogs are very powerful and athletic animals. They are suitable for experienced owners who have a large and securely fenced backyard.
Corsis are family only dogs, so don’t expect your dog to be friendly with absolutely everybody it meets!
The Akbash is yet another livestock guardian dog originating from Turkey. It can reach up to 34 inches in height and up to 140 lbs. in weight.
It is leaner and taller than the other large Turkish livestock guard dog breeds. Its double coat is white, but it can have some markings on the ears. Actually, the name of the breed means “white head” in Turkish.
The lifespan of the Akbash is about 10 to 11 years.
In general, the dogs from this large Turkish breed are calm but always focused and aware when protecting their family or property.
Like all other big dogs, the Akbash requires serious training and socializing early on in life. It is used to work along with people as partners rather than as a subordinate, which is something to keep in mind when you are training your Akbash dog. It is definitely not for novice dog owners due to its strong protective instincts. But you should never use or strength of cruelty when training it. Rather, a dog from this breed requires firm, kind, and consistent training.
Great Pyrenees Mountain Dog
There are fossils that show the existence of this breed from the Bronze Age. It is believed that the Pyrenees Mountain Dog originated in Siberia or Central Asia, and later on, moved to Europe with the migrants from those areas.
It was used as a shepherd dog and has keen eyesight and scent.
The Pyrenees is a very large and powerful dog with a thick coat. It is a working dog bred to stop predators such as wolves from attacking and stealing the sheep from its flock.
Its height reaches 32 inches at the shoulder, and its weight is often over 100 lbs.
Today, the Pyrenees is a mellow companion and a vigilant guardian of its family and home. Normally dogs from this breed are very calm, but they are always ready to spring into action if a threat is detected.
Since it has been bred to work on its own away from its owner, you may have some problems with its training and with the fact that it has a mind of its own.
Otherwise, the Pyre is very calm at home and will give you all of its unconditional love, but be prepared that it will guard absolutely everyone and everything on your premises. In order to avoid problems, take the time to socialize your young Pyrenees mountain dog with as many dogs and people as possible as it grows up.
The Bullmastiff dog breed is a large, muscular, and powerful dog that is sometimes referred to as the “British Bulldog.” They are used for guarding property and livestock, but they are also loving family dogs. Let’s explore more about this beautiful breed of dog!
Bullmastiff’s were originally bred to hold and chase poachers out of the property and chase away other intruders. They are very dominant and protective over their home.
The bread was created in the 19th century by mixing the Bulldog and the Mastiff.
The breeding programs were started by Mr. James Hinks from England. He wanted to create a dog breed with a shorter coat, but kept the same strength as the breed they have been mixed with, so he created this wonderful breed of dog.
After the English Mastiff, this is the second-largest breed of dog in the UK. The Bullmastiff’s health and life expectancy is around 8-10 years just like most other breeds of dog. Its height ranges from 24 to 27 inches.
They are quite heavy and muscular in build with deep chests and short backs which make their movement easy and agile. Their heads are broad and their noses are much shorter than the English Mastiffs.
Mastiffs have powerful jaws which come in handy when they need to grab hold of a straying cow’s horn.

Large dogs can be quite impressive and seem a bit intimidating, but if they are properly raised with sufficient socializing and training, most of them can make perfect family pets.
Overall, larger dogs are calmer and less energetic than smaller ones. They tend to be very gentle and affectionate to children and very loyal to their families.
Make sure that you check out the specific requirements for training and socializing of the particular breed you are interested in, as well as its other characteristics, before considering adding a large dog to your family.
Unfortunately, larger dogs usually have a much shorter lifespan than that of smaller dog breeds, which is also something to consider before adopting a large pup.
In most cases, large dogs are recommended for people who have previous experience with dog training and with dogs in general.
Keep in mind that some of these dogs are probably taller than you when they stand up and can weigh more than you, so do your research before adopting a large dog in order to avoid problems and troubles related to the dog’s instincts or its huge size and weight!
Hopefully, you will soon have a furry little puppy that will grow into one of these beautiful giant creatures if you have decided that you are up to the challenge of adding an extra-large dog to your family! | <urn:uuid:f4ddea05-bb78-4d0d-a45f-11da65bfdf0b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://topratednew.com/largest-dog-breed/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.975203 | 7,664 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Journal Of Neuroimmunology
Viruses use various mechanisms to evade clearance by the host. Investigating how a few changes in the genome of a non-lethal virus can lead to altered disease, from survivable to immunosuppression/death, would provide valuable information into viral pathogenesis. The Daniels strain of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus causes an asymptomatic infection or acute encephalitis followed by viral clearance. A mutant, H101, carries several alterations in the viral genome. H101 infection causes profound immunosuppression and death. Thus, a virus that is normally cleared by its natural host can become lethal due to just a few changes in the viral genome. | <urn:uuid:56705522-8f38-4f6a-a87a-31684b70d6f4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://listlabs.com/citations_products/da-virus-mutant-h101-has-altered-cns-pathogenesis-and-causes-immunosuppression/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.926542 | 145 | 2.5625 | 3 |

According to BizRate.com survey, 78% of online buyers abandon their shopping carts. 55% abandon carts before they enter the checkout process. Another 32% abandon their carts at the point of sale.
According to Jupiter research, top ten e-commerce sites are EBay, Amazon, MSN shopping, Yahoo! Shopping, Expedia, Dell, Orbitz.com, Wal-Mart Stores, Deal Time and Travelocity.
Why these sites are so successful and others are not?
Web design and E-commerce solution significantly determine the success of e-commerce.
An online shop practices its potential for convenience and time efficiency when it becomes easily familiar. In many studies, consumers have indicated that their least favorite sites are those which fail to support a quick and easy shopping experience.
The reasons why shoppers abandon carts vary and include insufficient information, poor navigation, difficult at handling, limited functionalities, confusing buttons or icons, time confusing checkout processes, low quality of user interface and more.
Effectiveness plays a central role in e-commerce
The domain of e-business application usability is vital to a company's success, its competitive edge and perhaps even its survival.
E-commerce involves both selling and buying and each needs its own platform. Sell-Side platforms cover content, order, catalog management, analytics, interactive selling, legacy integration and commerce syndication.
Only a few vendors provide all these complete functions. Administrative tools include product editors, sophisticated color and font editors, inventory control, automated order status updates, product cloning, coupon activation, personalized marketing tracking, affiliate tracking, html promotional email capability, shipping manager, real time statistics and image manager.
A successful e-commerce site manages inventory, track orders and has fully edited storefront. Web based control panels are mandatory for success.
In this e-CRM (Customer Relation Management) context, the design of a website based on technology acceptance is a crucial determinant of whether visitors are likely to accept and return to the site. An effective site design has significant influence on site traffic and the number of transactions users conduct on a website.
So website must not be simply designed as easy to use, thus decreasing website usage.
It is designed:
(i) to be stimulated to use and thus
(ii) to evoke a compelling user experience to increase profitable website usage.
The online environment must promote a long-term perspective with a user-retention focus and involvement based on intrinsic and extrinsic motives, leading to valuable behaviors and in turn greater expected web usage.
We provide complete e-commerce solution from designing a simple shopping cart to most advance electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM) that fits all company sizes and budgets. | <urn:uuid:8444255f-9070-4a48-9287-a9d5a66ebad3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://circarconsulting.com/home/e_commerce | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.920499 | 559 | 1.65625 | 2 |
Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 27, 2022 / 15:40 pm (CNA).
Over the last month, the nation has seen a historic wave of change following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with the political debate over abortion now shifting to the states. Currently, the Kansas legislature is debating the “Value Them Both” amendment, which would potentially regulate access to abortion within the state.
Prudence Robertson of EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly recently spoke with Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann from the Archdiocese of Kansas City about his support for the proposed amendment. They also discussed the reaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade among local pro-life advocates, and Naumann’s thoughts on the role that Catholics have in defending the unborn.
“I think for many of us, it’s been like the Berlin Wall coming down,” Naumann said as he described what it felt like for pro-life Kansans following the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe. “But of course, there are others that have become convinced … that we can’t survive as a society without the ability to kill our own children.”
On Aug. 2, Kansans will vote on the pro-life “Value Them Both” amendment. If approved, it would enable state lawmakers to pass legislation to regulate abortion. Currently, lawmakers are generally prohibited from restricting abortion following a 2019 Kansas Supreme Court ruling that the state’s constitution protects abortion.
One of the unfortunate side effects of the overturning of Roe has been the vandalization of Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers across the nation as a form of protest — something that Naumann has seen occur within his state.
“It’s really tragic to see the viciousness and unfortunately, we’ve had at least one episode of vandalism at one of our churches here,” Naumann said. “A lot of other stealing of signs and defacing of our signs and kind of organized efforts and what I would call almost bullying by the opponents of the amendment here in Kansas.”
Ahead of the vote, parish buildings and a statue of the Blessed Mother at the Church of the Ascension in Overland Park were “extensively defaced” with red spray paint in an “overt act of hatred and incivility,” Naumann’s archdiocese previously confirmed.
On EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly, Naumann said that the final decision regarding the “Value Them Both” amendment ultimately comes down to voter turnout on Aug. 2.
Naumann also touched on the role that Catholics and the Church itself have in advocating for passage of the amendment — as well as the broader role of defending the unborn. You can watch the interview with Naumann in the video below.
“Our approach … is comprehensive and part of it is advocacy,” Naumann described. “Since [the U.S. Church’s] very inception, Archbishop Carroll thought it was not appropriate for us to endorse candidates, politicians, or parties. And so the Church has chosen never to do that. I think that was a wise decision, that we don’t want to stake the Church’s reputation to any particular politician or party. But it’s not a vote on a politician. It’s a vote on an issue.”
For any Catholic who is looking for ways to participate in this ongoing movement, Naumann stressed the importance of an approach that highlights the dignity of human life, including that of the unborn.
“I think we’ve got to reach minds and change hearts by [education]. Not the way that our opponents try to do things with violence and with bullying, but by simply presenting people with the truth… And so I think we don’t have enemies. We just have pro-lifers who haven’t yet been converted. And I think we have to work on that.” | <urn:uuid:5247140b-d851-490c-8f73-b6069be8c4e4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fsjasumbikenya.org/2022/07/28/kansas-archbishop-catholics-should-counter-pro-abortion-bullying-with-truth/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.967304 | 844 | 1.734375 | 2 |
Prosecutors in northern Poland detained and brought charges Sunday against the man who designed an escape room entertainment site where five teenage girls were killed in a fire.
The man, identified only as Milosz S., was charged with intentionally creating a fire danger and unintentionally causing the deaths of the girls, said prosecutor Ryszard Gasiorowski, adding that the location’s heating system was faulty and there was no emergency evacuation route.
A court decision is expected Monday on prosecutors’ request that he be held for three months while the case proceeds.
Firefighters in the city of Koszalin found the victims’ bodies Friday after they extinguished a fire next to the locked room. Prosecutors say a leaky gas container inside a heater is the most likely cause of the blaze.
Autopsies showed that the girls, who were friends from school, died of carbon monoxide inhalation. A young man employed there was hospitalized with burns. He was to be questioned.
Attorneys for the man charged said he was “deeply distraught” by the deaths and has expressed deep condolences to the families before the prosecutors. They said the 28-year-old denies the charges but because of his distress was not able to answer prosecutors’ questions. If convicted, he could face up to eight years in prison.
Earlier Sunday, fire chief Leszek Suski stressed that the escape room at a private house in the city of Koszalin, where the 15-year-old girls died locked inside a room celebrating a birthday, had no emergency evacuation route. They were the first known deaths in an escape room, a form of entertainment that has been growing in Poland over the past five years.
Players in escape room games are locked inside a room or building and must solve puzzles and find clues that lead them to the key that will unlock the door. Regarded as an intellectual challenge, the games are highly popular among teenagers in Poland.
Officials have shut down 13 escape room entertainment sites for safety flaws and the prime minister asked people Sunday to report such lapses to firefighters and police.
Police chief Jaroslaw Szymczyk said other people had previously posted critical remarks online about the safety of that escape room site, but local officials weren’t notified.
During a memorial Mass at Koszalin Cathedral, Bishop Edward Dajczak identified the girls by their first names as Julia, Amelia, Gosia, Karolina and Wiktoria.
He later led public prayers in front of the house where they died. People left hundreds of lights, toys and white flowers by the fence.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, along with Suski and Szymczyk, spoke after holding a meeting in which they discussed with other officials ways of improving safety at entertainment venues. Morawiecki called the girls’ deaths an “immense tragedy.”
Since Friday, more than 200 of Poland’s 1,100 escape rooms have been checked, revealing a number of safety flaws that needed to be immediately fixed. Authorities ordered the closure of 13 of them.

I remember there was a period of time – around 1970?? – all the girls were reading Harriet the Spy – I can’t remember if the librarian read some of it to us… it wasn’t BIG like Harry Potter or anything, but it was one of those books that all the girls at least “knew about”.
I wasn’t a big reader as a kid, but I really liked the illustrations in HTS, and illustrations were always important to me. I loved the way Harriet looked.
What was so important to me was my identification with Harriet.
So much of the time, I indentified with male characters – both in books and on TV. I wasn’t confused about my gender, but I just didn’t “get” female characters – they were not a reflection of who I felt I was. They didn’t look like me, they didn’t dress like me, and they certainly didn’t act like me.
I can remember vividly, looking at pictures of Pipi Longstockings, who I adored and admired, and trying to figure out how I could “look like” her – while at the same time, knowing it was hopeless.
Harriet was different – although her life circumstances weren’t like mine, she was like me – it was really kind of amazing. I could absolutely identify with her character, her interests, her concerns, her inner dialogue, her desires… she was very real to me, I loved her, and I wanted to be like her.
HTS reflected contemporary, urban life. The kids in the book (especially Harriet) were deep, thoughtful, and very independant. What was really fabulous was that Harriet created her own adventures right where she lived – in her own city and neighbourhood, out of the stuff of her own life. She didn’t have to go “someplace else” – either magically or geographic – to have an amazing time; she used her own skills and initiative and observation and imagination to have it right where she lived.
The book made us believe that we could do exactly the same thing, /wherever/ we were. We didn’t have to be in New York with Harriet – that was never the point of the book. The point was that wherever you are, it’s exciting.
The book also was very powerful in that it gave kids – girls especially – an example of “safe” disobedience – Harriet was kind and decent, but she intentionally and knowingly did things she wasn’t supposed to do. | <urn:uuid:5c9eeec8-99f1-49bf-9719-75f0472baf78> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://toveyjones.com/harriet/?p=232 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.989557 | 542 | 1.578125 | 2 |
Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes multiple cancers in both women and men. In China, both HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening coverages are low. We aim to investigate the temporal and geographical trends of HPV DNA prevalence in heterosexual men, women, men who have sex with men (MSM) and people living with HIV (PLHIV) in China. Methods: We conducted a systematic review, collecting publications in PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Data from January 2000 to May 2017. A total of 247 studies were selected for this meta-analysis to estimate pooled HPV prevalence, incidence of cervical cancer and risk of infection for subgroups. Meta-regression was applied to identify contributing factors to prevalence heterogeneities. Results: The national HPV prevalence was 15.6% (95% CI (14.4% to 16.9%)) in women with normal cervical cytology, and Central China had the highest prevalence (20.5% (15.2% to 25.8%)). HPV prevalence in heterosexual men (14.5% (11.3% to 17.7%)) was comparable with that of women (OR=1.09 (0.98 to 1.17)), but HPV prevalence in MSM (59.9% (52.2% to 67.6%)) was significantly higher than that in heterosexual men (OR=8.81 (8.01 to 9.69)). HIV-positive women (45.0% (38.4% to 51.6%)) and HIV-positive MSM (87.5% (82.3% to 90.9%)) had 4.67 (3.61 to 6.03) and 6.46 (5.20 to 8.02) times higher risk of HPV infection than their HIV negative counterparts. Conclusion: HPV infection is prevalent in China, particularly in Central China, in comparison with the global level and neighbouring countries. Targeted HPV vaccination for women, MSM and PLHIV and scale-up of cervical screening for women are priorities in curbing the HPV epidemic in China.

I am not sure how often you would stumble upon this problem, however, I did recently, and after some research, found a nifty way to overcome it.
Here is the scenario:
- You want to import a large CSV file into a database table.
- The files have potential to be very large, therefore you do not want to get rid of the old data before you have imported the new data successfully into a temporary table.
How do you do this?
- You import your data into a temporary table, let’s call it `tempdata`. This will take some time with large files, especially if you are processing each line before inserting.
- Once the import is successful, you simply and copy from the `tempdata` to the `realdata` table by doing a simple query:
INSERT INTO `realdata` SELECT * FROM `tempdata`. While this would work when there are no keys defined, you run into problems when you have UNIQUE or PRIMARY keys defined, because the key columns in the `tempdata` and `realdata` tables will overlap.
Oops. Now what?
You have two possible solutions:
- Select only the columns that you want to import from `tempdata` and import into the same columns into `realdata`, or
- You can be a little adventurous if you do not know beforehand what all the column names are (for example when you create tables on the fly).
Here is how you bring the adventure into your SQL mission:
First, you need to get the columns from the `realdata` table from the INFORMATION SCHEMA table:
SELECT `column_name` FROM information_schema.columns WHERE `table_name` = '" . $table_from . "' and column_name != 'id'
Now, this is assuming that your primary key or unique key’s name is “id”.
The result of this query will then contain all the columns in the `realdata` table except the ID column.
Now, with some PHP magic, you build up your query using these names and some string concatenation, and you can simply do this:
INSERT INTO `realdata` (**COLSTRING**) SELECT **COLSTRING** FROM `tempdata` | <urn:uuid:6abb4d5f-9f9d-4d8a-b3ba-b54aa0051e83> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.webtalk.co.za/2014/08/select-all-columns-except-one-from-a-mysql-table/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.838231 | 493 | 2 | 2 |
Higher Death Risk With Sleeping PillsHyla Cass, MD
People are relying on sleeping pills more than ever to get a good night’s rest, but a new study by Scripps Clinic researchers links the medications to a 4.6 times higher risk of death and a significant increase in cancer cases among regular pill users.
The results, published February 27 by the open-access online journal BMJ Open, cast a shadow over a growing segment of the pharmaceutical industry that expanded by 23 percent in the United States from 2006 to 2010 and generated about $2 billion in annual sales.
The possible health hazards
“What our study shows is that sleeping pills are hazardous to your health and might cause death by contributing to the occurrence of cancer, heart disease and other ailments,” said author Daniel F. Kripke, MD, of the Viterbi Family Sleep Center at Scripps Health in San Diego.
The research is the first to show that eight of the most commonly used hypnotic drugs were associated with increased hazards of mortality and cancer, including the popularly prescribed medications zolpidem (known by the brand name Ambien) and temazepam (also known as Restoril), Dr. Kripke said. Those drugs had been thought to be safer than older hypnotics because of their shorter duration of action.
Study participants who took sleeping pills were matched with control patients of similar ages, gender and health who received no hypnotics in order to eliminate the possibility that other factors led to the results.
“We tried every practical strategy to make these associations go away, thinking that they could be due to use by people with more health problems, but no matter what we did the associations with higher mortality held,” said co-author Robert D. Langer, MD, MPH, of the Jackson Hole Center for Preventive Medicine in Jackson, Wyoming.
Even among patients who were prescribed 1 to 18 sleeping pills per year, the risk of death was 3.6 times higher than among similar participants who did not take the medica-tions. The study looked at patients aged 18 years and older, and found the increased risk in all age groups.
Sleeping pills and cancer
Rates of new cancers were 35 percent higher among patients who were prescribed at least 132 hypnotic doses a year as compared with those who did not take the drugs.
Using data stored in an electronic medical record that has been in place for more than a decade, the researchers obtained information on almost 40,000 patients cared for by a large integrated health system in the northeastern United States.
The study included 10,531 sleeping pill users who were prescribed the medications for an average of 2.5 years and 23,674 control participants who were not prescribed the drugs. Information came from outpatient clinic visits conducted between Jan. 1, 2002, and Sept. 30, 2006.
“It is important to note that our results are based on observational data, so even though we did everything we could to ensure their validity, it’s still possible that other factors explain the associations,” said co-author Lawrence E. Kline, DO, who is medical director of the Viterbi Family Sleep Center. “We hope our work will spur additional research in this area using information from other populations.”
Funding for the study came from the Scripps Health Foundation and other philanthropic sources.
Alternatives to medication
The BMJ Open report should prompt physicians to consider alternatives to hypnotic medications, Dr. Kline said.
Clinicians at the Viterbi Family Sleep Center focus on cognitive therapy that teaches patients to better understand the nature of sleep. For example, some people suffering from insomnia might require less than the eight hours of sleep commonly recommended for each night.
Patients also can benefit from practicing good sleeping habits and relaxation, as well as taking advantage of the body’s natural clock, which is driven by the rising and setting of the sun, Dr. Kline said. “Understanding how to use the circadian rhythm is a very powerful tool that doesn’t require a prescription,” he said.
When insomnia results from emotional problems such as depression, doctors should treat the psychological disorder rather than prescribe sleeping pills that could prove to be harmful, Dr. Kripke said.

What to Give Up for Lent (and for life)
Lent is the season of spiritual preparation before Easter for Christians. It is a period of six weeks/40 days (not counting Sundays) reflective of the time Jesus spent in the desert after his baptism and the 40 years the Israelites spent in the wilderness following their exodus from Egypt. It is traditionally viewed as a time of penitence, a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, of spiritual discipline, sacrifice, and self-denial. Words like “sacrifice,” “discipline,” and “self-denial” are often used in ways that suggest that Lent is something to be endured rather than a time of grace and spiritual growth.
Have you ever thought of Lent as a yearly second chance? Each year we are given six weeks to take a long, loving look at our lives to see if our values and priorities are in line with God’s desires for us. Since most of us find that we’ve wandered from God’s path, Lent becomes that second chance, or do-over, to “return to God with our whole heart.” Lent is an opportunity to take inventory of what occupies our minds and hearts and to clean out those things that distract us from Christ, which move us away from living as Jesus taught.
It can be easy to get through the season of Lent without growing at all, even if we pray, fast, and give alms. The key to spiritual growth in Lent is to look deep within, and ask ourselves, “What are the things in my life that distract me from or move me away from Christ?” How can I “rend my heart” (Joel 2:13) to open it to receive the lifegiving love of the Spirit that God graced us with through the death and resurrection of Jesus?
We are invited this year, embrace Lent as an opportunity for growth. Instead of the traditional fasting or self-denial, consider the following as a way to prepare our hearts and minds to draw closer to Christ and receive God’s grace, love, and mercy such that we become a beacon of that love and mercy to everyone we meet.
What to Give Up for Lent (and for life):
Give up complaining…focus on gratitude.
Give up gossiping…control your tongue.
Give up pessimism…embrace joy and optimism.
Give up harsh judgments and criticisms…think kind thoughts and speak kind words.
Give up worry…trust divine providence.
Give up discouragement…embrace hope.
Give up bitterness, hatred, and anger…practice forgiveness, love, and patience
Give up negativism…be positive and encouraging.
Give up gloom…enjoy the beauty that is all around you.
Give up that which draws you away from God…choose that which better leads to God’s deepening life within you.
As Jesus spent time in the desert, we are invited to find our desert where we can spend time in silence with God that we might hear God and God’s desire for us and be moved to live as God desires us to and as Jesus taught.
Peace be upon you,

Heritage and Architecture
Living with commons: Deepened spatiality of injustice amidst COVID-19
In the interest of ‘New Heritage’, the project explores the potential of an 80s residential neighbourhood, Bijlmerplein. The design speculates how an adaptive reuse of an under-designed shopping mall from the 1980s can stimulate a fair and healthy living environment within a broader neighbourhood. A series of interventions, informed by the stakeholders, aim to improve the quality of public spaces and strengthen the heritage value of the site, while providing a vision to create a healthy sustainable public life for a post-COVID future.
The project remodels the existing shopping plinth and the surrounding urban structure and integrates a cultural venue within the plinth. It proposes a reciprocal activation between a spatial reform of the shopping plinth and the functional reinforcement of its local cultural activities. Ultimately, the design suggests an alternative viability of those deteriorating privatised shopping malls as a better public venue to strengthen the lifespan of post-modern architecture.

I mentioned previously that I wanted to post how Subversion works (on the surface, for beginners) and how I use it for my development needs.
To create my WordPress plugins, Simpler iPaper and Simpler CSS, using SVN has been a must; after all, the only way to release new versions of the plugins is through SVN. I also keep this site’s WordPress installation up-to-date on the development version using Subversion. Additionally, in my current efforts to develop a working solution for HDTV’s in business and organizational settings, Display UI is being developed using Subversion for version control.
You get the idea. I use it on a daily basis, and for practical purposes. I don’t claim to understand the fine details, but hopefully this post gives you an idea of how I use it and how you can, too.
So what is version control? Simply put, it’s a way of keeping track of the changes made to files. It’s often impractical to make manual backups of a file before every set of changes to it, so version control systems like CVS and SVN emerged to help people — especially developers and programmers — keep track of their files, share changes with team members, and prevent stupid mistakes.
Accidentally deleted your code? Revert your changes. Came up with an ingenious way (that works) to do something? Commit your changes. Need to get the latest revision of all the files? Update the working copy.
Perhaps the most practical application of systems like Subversion is in team development. When three or more people are working on the same set of files, it’s useful to be able to merge the changes seamlessly, see the changes others have made, or even work separately on branches (kind of like forks) and tags (usually released versions that are being maintained).
I did write that I don’t claim to understand the fine details. If you really want to understand Subversion, I highly recommend this book by members of the development team: Version Control with Subversion, or the book online.
Let’s talk about how to use it. Hard-core programmers often choose to use the command line tools, where they type commands like
svn up to update the files. Beginners will be glad to know that there are implementations with GUI‘s, like RapidSVN and TortoiseSVN. Eclipse users may use Subversive or Subclipse, “team providers” that let coders easily perform version control tasks inside the IDE.
Assuming that you’re using the command line binaries — which you can get from the Subversion site, and I recommend official CollabNet builds where possible — most of the basic tasks are rather easy.
Instead of right-clicking and picking options from a menu, tasks are done by typing commands.
First of all, a ‘repository’ is a hosted location containing all of the code, revisions and metadata. Often, one can access a repository via HTTP, as in the case of WordPress, which is found at http://core.svn.wordpress.org/ .
To ‘checkout’ a repository means to make a local copy (known as a ‘working copy’) of the contents. That’s what we have to do first when working with an established project: get the code from the repository.
To do so, type the following at an open shell (on Linux/Mac OS X) or command prompt: (don’t type the ‘$’ — that’s just a placeholder for the prompt you’ll see, such as
[frederick@fedora-vm Desktop]$ — the specific prompt will differ depending on your machine and platform)
$ svn checkout http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ wordpress/
Windows users would do the same, but at a command prompt — again, without the dollar sign.
That command invokes the
svn executable and tells it to checkout the WordPress trunk directory to the local folder | <urn:uuid:8763de26-8572-48b8-bc6e-a35dd7cfed81> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.frederickding.com/posts/tag/software/page/4/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.90549 | 870 | 2.390625 | 2 |

A Guide On How To Understand Bitcoin And Cryptocurrency?
Although Bitcoin is likely one of the most searched for phrases (according to Google), it is a very technical subject for a lot of people and might get overly technical for non geeks. However, there are now hundreds of cryptocurrencies and more and more individuals are starting to wish to get to know how they work possibly pushed by a dis trust of bankers, which is a complete totally different discussion.
It’s tough to get a lay man’s rationalization without having to make use of technical terms equivalent to “secret keys”, “digital keys”, “digital wallet” and “cryptocurrency” so I will do my finest to keep things as straight forward as I presumably can.
The Idea of Fiat money i.e. paper currency, was formulated to make it less complicated for folks to make an exchange for items or companies to switch bartering, as this can be limited to an trade between two willing parties at greatest, whereas cash lets you provide your service or goods, then purchase no matter service or goods you require from one other or others.
Due to this fact, I might argue that Bitcoin is the 21st Century equivalent to bartering, in that it works as an alternate for items or services directly between willing parties. Bartering had to be primarily based on each promise and trust, to provide and deliver the promised items or service.
Immediately with Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency each party would want a unique file or distinctive key to change the agreed value between every other.
By having a unique key or file it turns into simpler to keep a record on each transaction. Nonetheless, this too comes with problems.
Now, bartering is the straightforward alternate of skills or goods as I’ve already acknowledged, the fashionable equal, or bitcoin is susceptible to security breaches, i.e. theft or hacking of files, this is the place a “cryptocurrency wallet” comes into the equation to safe your transactions.
Basically you need a secure location to your cryptocurrency/bitcoin purchases and holdings. This is the place the necessity for a hardware wallet comes from.
So now that you’ve written down/recorded which address holds which amount of Bitcoins and then up to date each time a transaction is made, the file is known as “The blockchain” – and it keeps a record of all transactions made with bitcoin.

When Olaf joined the Linux Documentation Project in 1992, he wrote two small chapters on UUCP and smail, which he meant to contribute to the System Administrator's Guide. Development of TCP/IP networking was just beginning, and when those “small chapters” started to grow, he wondered aloud whether it would be nice to have a Networking Guide. “Great!” everyone said. “Go for it!” So he went for it and wrote the first version of the Networking Guide, which was released in September 1993.
Olaf continued work on the Networking Guide and eventually produced a much enhanced version of the guide. Vince Skahan contributed the original sendmail mail chapter, which was completely replaced in this edition because of a new interface to the sendmail configuration.
The version of the guide that you are reading now is a revision and update prompted by O'Reilly & Associates and undertaken by Terry Dawson. Terry has been an amateur radio operator for over 20 years and has worked in the telecommunications industry for over 15 of those. He was co-author of the original NET-FAQ, and has since authored and maintained various networking-related HOWTO documents. Terry has always been an enthusiastic supporter of the Network Administrators Guide project, and added a few new chapters to this version describing features of Linux networking that have been developed since the first edition, plus a bunch of changes to bring the rest of the book up to date.
The exim chapter was contributed by Philip Hazel, who is a lead developer and maintainer of the package.
The book is organized roughly along the sequence of steps you have to take to configure your system for networking. It starts by discussing basic concepts of networks, and TCP/IP-based networks in particular. It then slowly works its way up from configuring TCP/IP at the device level to firewall, accounting, and masquerade configuration, to the setup of common applications such as rlogin and friends, the Network File System, and the Network Information System. This is followed by a chapter on how to set up your machine as a UUCP node. Most of the remaining sections is dedicated to two major applications that run on top of TCP/IP and UUCP: electronic mail and news. A special chapter has been devoted to the IPX protocol and the NCP filesystem, because these are used in many corporate environments where Linux is finding a home.
The email part features an introduction to the more intimate parts of mail transport and routing, and the myriad of addressing schemes you may be confronted with. It describes the configuration and management of exim, a mail transport agent ideal for use in most situations not requiring UUCP, and sendmail, which is for people who have to do more complicated routing involving UUCP.
The news part gives you an overview of how Usenet news works. It covers INN and C News, the two most widely used news transport software packages at the moment, and the use of NNTP to provide newsreading access to a local network. The book closes with a chapter on the care and feeding of the most popular newsreaders on Linux.
Of course, a book can never exhaustively answer all questions you might have. So if you follow the instructions in this book and something still does not work, please be patient. Some of your problems may be due to mistakes on our part (see the section Section 9", later in this Preface), but they also may be caused by changes in the networking software. Therefore, you should check the listed information resources first. There's a good chance that you are not alone with your problems, so a fix or at least a proposed workaround is likely to be known. If you have the opportunity, you should also try to get the latest kernel and network release from one of the Linux FTP sites or a BBS near you. Many problems are caused by software from different stages of development, which fail to work together properly. After all, Linux is a “work in progress.”

Life is a journey, and you never know where the road is going to take you – especially when the time comes to start a family. This is a huge stepping stone in life and one that you may not be ready to jump into, or at least not quite yet. Medical reasons such as chemotherapy for breast cancer treatments may also put childbearing on hold. Whatever the reason, more and more women are moving forward with elective egg freezing – a process that freezes healthy eggs in order to have children later in life.
As women age, the quantity and quality of eggs decline each year, most dramatically declining after the age of 35. By the age of 40, women have only a 5% chance of conceiving. With egg freezing, a woman can serve as her own egg donor when she is ready to conceive later in life.
Why might I consider egg freezing?
The desire to start a family later in life
Personal reasons that delay childbearing
To avoid freezing surplus embryos after an IVF cycle
Seeing as it’s Breast Cancer awareness month, another key reason is medical reasons, including cancer treatment. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology in the Journal of Oncology Practice, “Oncologists should address the possibility of infertility with patients treated during their reproductive years. Fertility preservation is often possible, but to serve the full range of options, fertility preservation approaches should be considered as early as possible during (cancer) treatment planning.”
Sadly, many oncologists don’t review the impact of different types of breast cancer treatment with their patients. Many of the treatments can severely impact your fertility and can even cause infertility so while the focus is clearly on getting healthy, we recommend you also speak with a local fertility specialist to discuss your fertility preservation options before you start cancer treatment.
How does the process work?
At UNC Fertility, we are highly experienced in elective egg freezing and will educate you on the process every step of the way. This is a brief rundown of how it works…
Step 1: A physician consultation at our North Carolina fertility clinic that includes an in-depth discussion of your needs and expectations, as well as a detailed description of the procedure.
Step 2: Blood work and a pelvic ultrasound to assess the number of eggs in your ovaries.
Step 3: Ovarian stimulation – an eight to twelve-day process that involves fertility hormone injections (gonadotropins) in order to produce more mature eggs than a typical cycle. At this stage of the process, your UNC fertility doctor will determine the exact time to retrieve the eggs.
Step 4: Egg retrieval – a minor outpatient surgery (requiring sedation) where eggs are retrieved from your ovaries through an ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration.
Step 5: Egg vitrification – when eggs are placed in a “vitrification solution” called cryoprotectant, which protects the eggs during the freezing and thawing process.
Step 6: The eggs are carefully placed into liquid nitrogen and stored until you wish to conceive.
Elective egg freezing is an amazing process that makes it possible to extend the biological clock and gives women a chance to have children later in life or when the right time presents itself. Give yourself peace of mind and options to build your future family so you can focus on your health, work, or life right now.

Amazon has given an access of its first automated store to the public. Amazon Go is a grocery store situated on the first floor of the corporation's Seattle head office.
This store, which offers food, drinks and canned goods could transform our shopping habits in the future.
As soon as you arrive at the store, your presence will be tracked by phone app. Customers need to download the app and register in it. Infrared cameras watch about everything that happens in the store. If you pick up items from the shelves they will be automatically put into your virtual shopping cart. When you put an item back, the cameras easily detect it. The fact you walk out your account is charged without making any physical payment.
The technologies used at Amazon Go are the same as driverless cars – computer detecting, weight sensors and complicated algorithm’s structures.
The 1,800 square foot store has been opened to Amazon employees for a year in very convenience location. Now other customers can also shop there. At this moment there are 5 stores only in Seattle. In September 2018 some facts were reported. Amazon had plans to open at least 3000 shops across the USA by 2021.
However, not everything has been running smoothly in the store's opening year. There were some obstacles to overcome. For example, it's hard for cameras to discern between different flavors or products that look alike. They definitely have problems with identifying customers with similar appearance and clothes.
Although there are no checkout counters and cashiers which make you wait in line, there are shop assistants who restore goods and give an advice to clients.

When you have a local network, you can have network storage — an SMB share on a file server, or a Network Attached Storage (NAS) box that everything on the network can access. Inside a cloud service, ironically, you don't have that same concept of local network storage.
Data in Microsoft's Azure can be inside a specific virtual machine that you can share with other virtual machines by doing some rather tedious setup — sharing and mounting the drive and writing scripts to find it and manage high availability. Alternatively, it's in a platform service like a blob or table that doesn't handle those everyday files you still need — for scripts, utilities, logos, log files, content that goes in your CMS and dozens of other things that would be just as handy to have when you're working on Azure as when you're remoting into your on-premise server.
Network cloud storage from inside a cloud service
The idea behind the new Azure Files storage service is to give you network-connected cloud storage that you can use seamlessly from inside a cloud service, blending the platform and infrastructure cloud concepts in a way that's making Azure stand out. (The agent in every VM that lets you manage them via Puppet, Chef or PowerShell, without ever remoting into the individual machines to set that up, crosses the PaaS and IaaS streams in a similar way, giving you a platform service for managing and monitoring infrastructure VMs.)
Azure Files is actually a feature requested by the team building the Azure Web Sites service, to stop them having to make their own file shares from which to copy files all the time, and it's one of those ideas that seems blindingly obvious once someone has suggested it.
If you have an app that works with your on-premise file server, moving it to Azure means rewriting it, or setting up a file server in the cloud. Azure Files is perfect for that. You can also use it as a central location for settings you want to apply to distributed applications or multiple VMs, or as a place to store utilities and logs and other developer and test tools.
SMB 2.1: pros and cons
Azure Files doesn't just sound like SMB — it's using the SMB 2.1 protocol for compatibility, so you'll be able to access it from Linux systems as well as Windows, in VMs on Azure or running in your own business (although you'll have to make a VPN connection to Azure first). You get standard file commands like moving and renaming files, writing content to a file or setting it to read only, or getting notifications when files are modified — all the things you're used to when working with files.
Picking SMB 2.1 means it will be compatible with far more systems and applications, because operating systems and tools and libraries understand files already. However, it also means it doesn't have built-in encryption.
That's why you can only access Azure Files storage from VMs and Azure roles in the same Azure region, not from another Azure data centre. Unless Microsoft comes up with a way to wrap encryption around a cross-data-centre connection, the transfer wouldn't be secure. But file storage can be geo-replicated within a region (in the same way as Azure blobs, tables and queues), so you do get redundancy.
You can also access your storage through a REST API, which lets you access individual files or the entire share, and from anywhere without needing a VPN. That means you can build a connection into an Azure Files storage account into a web application, giving you a lightweight way to build a website that lets you upload files like images from a smartphone.
While the service is in preview, you'll have to wait for access after signing up for the trial. Even when that's approved you can't use Azure Files with an existing storage account — you have to create a new one to get it enabled. It's not clear whether that's a limitation of the preview, or if you'll be able to enable it for existing storage accounts once the service is fully available.
There isn't a graphical tool for creating the file share in the Azure portal yet either. You can do it with the REST API or the .NET Storage Client Library v4, if you're building or converting an application to use Azure files, or with PowerShell if you want to do it via the command line.
Using PowerShell to create an Azure Files file share is a little more complex than usual, because the current Azure PowerShell module uses an earlier version of the Storage Client Library. When you install the Azure Files PowerShell module, you have to use the new PowerShell commands in a different PowerShell session because they use a new version of the library.
There are commands to create a file share, make directories in the file share, upload and download files, delete files and list files and folders. Or you can connect to a VM in the same region and mount the file share with the NET USE command (NET USE Z: \\[STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME].file.core.windows.net\[SHARE _NAME] /u:[STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME] [STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY] ) — the Explorer tool for mapping network drives won't work — and then work with the file share like any other drive.
There are a few other limitations. You can't copy data across from blobs on Azure, although Microsoft said it might consider this in the future. Similarly you can't get data into your Azure Files storage by shipping a disk to Azure using the import service that Microsoft offers. Unless you want to do it all in PowerShell, you need to connect to the file share via Remote Desktop and copy your files in that way or use the AzCopy utility. Currently, authentication is based on the (lengthy and complex) Azure storage key, but Microsoft plans to add access based on ACLs and Active Directory authentication in future.
Billing for Azure Files will be based on the size of files you store there — a share can be up to 5TB and the maximum file size is 1TB. You do have to pay for storage during the preview, but it's only half the final price, which will be 2.6p or 3.2p per gigabyte depending on whether you want a second copy of your files stored in another region for redundancy. Storage doesn't time out, so if you're collecting logs you'll want to set up something to delete them when you no longer need them.
Don't expect a consumer-style cloud storage interface in Azure Files. When the service launches it will have the same friendly Azure portal tools as other Azure services, but it's always going to be cloud storage inside a cloud service for developers and testers, and system administrators who are comfortable with PowerShell remoting. It's an inspired bridging of two worlds, but that will also mean you're dealing with the complexity of both worlds. | <urn:uuid:6bc0e1ae-8b6f-431c-8776-7d139102b316> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.zdnet.com/article/azure-files-service-first-take-smb-file-sharing-for-cloud-vms/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.942879 | 1,425 | 2.21875 | 2 |
A basic understanding of Pomeranian coat stages is beneficial for any Pom owner. Pomeranians are known for their thick and fluffy coats that contribute to their cute appearance.
If you are looking for a top resource to help you understand the various stages of your Pomeranian's coat, this is the perfect guide. It details what each coat stage looks like and how to care for your dog during that specific type of fur stage.
When Do Pomeranians Get Their Full Coat?
If you’re a first-time Pomeranian owner, you might be curious about when do Pomeranian puppies get fluffy.
From puppyhood into adulthood, a Pomeranian's coat evolves to a genetically predetermined length. Your Pomeranian is supposed to have a beautiful fluffy coat, and they do, except around their face.
Pomeranian puppies have a smooth, single-layer puppy fur when they are born. At birth, this single coat is very short but grows quickly with each passing day.
A Pomeranian's coat usually takes about one to two years to fully grow and become fluffy adult Pomeranian fur. As a Pom puppy matures, their puppy coats fall out, and their new fluffy adult coat will grow by the time your Pomeranian is 1-year-old.
Your Pom can have a coat that’s less fluffy and this is completely normal and is not a cause for concern. Be patient and don’t worry if your Pomeranian is 1 year old and still doesn’t have their “fluffy” coat yet, it may just be a matter of time.
Pomeranian Hair Growth Stages
Pomeranian puppies go through many changes, including shedding their puppy fur. An interesting element to know is that a Pomeranian puppy is born with all of the hair follicles that the dog will ever have. Hair follicles are the small openings in which each hair shaft grows. The Pomeranian has a double coat, a shorter inner layer, and a long outer layer.
Newborn Pomeranian Pups
Newborn Pom puppies are born looking like smooth-coated dogs. As they mature, the fur will grow quickly, in the already-present hair follicles. At eight weeks most Pomeranian puppies are cute balls of fluff.
This soft puppy coat falls out and is gradually replaced with an adult coat. This begins when a Pomeranian puppy is anywhere from 3 to 6 months old. This is often called the Pomeranian puppy ugly stage.
The soft puppy coat falls out more quickly than adult fur grows. So, during this stage, a Pomeranian puppy's fur may appear patchy and shaggy.
It is for this reason that some Pomeranian puppies have finer, thinner, and shorter coats than their adult counterparts.
When one refers to Pomeranian puppy shedding, this actually is the transitional phase of puppy to adult coat (Pomeranian puppy ugly stage). While some puppy fur will indeed shed off, this is in fact a time of increased hair growth.
During the puppy transition, the Pomeranian coat may appear shaggy, as the puppy coat falls out before adult fur has a chance to replace it. This is normal, as puppy coats can fall out more quickly than adult coats grow. The hair loss associated with growth is normal as long as your Pom puppy is otherwise healthy.
This coat change or puppy uglies is most prominent starting at 4 months old and by the time a Pomeranian puppy is 9 to 12 months old, he will have his adult coat. Remember that the coat will then continue to grow and renew by year-round, gradual shedding.
During the puppy uglies, it is very common for the Pomeranian coat to change colors, and markings may decrease or increase. Newer hairs may be darker or lighter.
This can continue throughout puppyhood, which can last until Pom puppies are a year old.
When Do Pomeranian Puppies Get Fluffy?
The word "fluffy" might make you think of a cuddly lapdog, but it also refers to the soft fur coat Pomeranians have at eight weeks old and later on when they develop their full adult coat.
An eight-week-old Pomeranian puppy should have a fluffy baby coat. By the time this dog is nine months of age, the puppy coat should have been replaced with a full adult coat.
Most Pomeranians will then grow through another coat shed between 12 and 18 months, I call this stage the junior molt. By the time your Pomeranian dog is three years old, he should have a full, glorious fluffy coat.
Post Partum Shedding
After weaning a litter, females will usually drop all of their coat and stop producing estrogen. This fur loss is due to hormone changes that occur and is not a reason for concern. The Pom's coat will usually completely grow back in 6 months.
Growth Cycles of Pomeranian Coat
Once a Pomeranian puppy has replaced his puppy fur with an adult coat, it then goes through the following coat growth cycle for the rest of its life.
- Anagen phase: The first cycle is the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase. During this phase the coat reaches its full length, determined by genetics and breed.
- Catagen phase: The next phase, known as the transient catagen phase, signals the end of growth.
- Telogen phase: That phase is a lead-in to the resting, non-growth phase known as the telogen phase. Old loose hairs in the telogen phase are pushed out, called shedding.
The adult Pomeranian coat is made up of a short, dense undercoat and the outer coat consists of longer hair. It's the outer coat that makes a Pomeranian look glamorous and fluffy. A Pomeranian's coat can be trimmed lightly but should never be shaved. Once shaved, your Pomeranian coat may not grow back as it should.
My Pomeranian Has Flat Fur?
If you have a Pomeranian puppy, it’s too early for you to worry about their coats.
There are different reasons why your Pomeranians may not be so fluffy. Let’s take a look.
- Genetics: Genetics and health issues can play a part in how fluffy Pomeranian's coat appears. The most common reason for your Pomeranian's not-so-fluffy coat is likely due to their lineage. Whatever their parents have, they will likely inherit.
- Diet: Diet has a huge effect on your Pomeranian's coat. Good nutrition can determine how fluffy your Pomeranian's coat is. Ensure your Pom is getting all vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in their diet. This will contribute to a healthier immune system, skin, and coat.
- Grooming: Being a double-coated dog means shedding! This is exactly why you need a regular brushing routine to maintain your Pomeranian's coat.
- Dry weather: Dry weather can take a toll on your Pomeranian's skin and hair, and the coat will suffer as a result. Dry weather can make a Pom's fur not so fluffy as dry air can affect their skin and fur coat.
- Health issues: Undiagnosed health issues can cause a Pomeranian's fur coat to be less than fluffy. Some health issues can start with symptoms that show on your Pomeranian's skin and coat. These problems can lead to flat fur in Poms.
- Age: Age can also play a role in how fluffy a Pomeranian's coat will be. If Po. is an incredibly young puppy, it may be best to ignore how their fur looks and focus on good nutrition, training, and overall health of your puppy. Over time, a Pomeranian will begin to change and grow in their adult coat. This can take a while, and dog parents won’t likely see that fluffy coat for some time.
How to Make a Pomeranian Fluffy
It’s understandable that fluffy coats look great, are desirable, and make your Pomeranian puppy extra cuddly. Keeping your Pom looking incredible is all about making their coat fluffy and keeping a Pomeranian's fur healthy.
But not all Pom coats are alike, and they require a lot of work and attention to stay glamorous and amazing. To help your Pomeranian puppy grow a fluffy and healthy coat, they need a healthy diet, a good grooming routine, and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Here are some tips to encourage a soft, fluffy, and healthy Pomeranian coat.
- Have a regular brushing routine: A Pomeranian majestic appearance requires daily brushing sessions. Regular brushing increases the production of skin oils. Brushing energizes their skin and promotes the hair follicles’ growth. By brushing regularly, you are giving your Pomeranian's coat the best chances of keeping clean, removing dead fur and fluffy.
- Bath with the right shampoo: It is vital to use the right shampoo that is specifically tailored for Pomeranians. Opt for a mild pH balanced shampoo to avoid stripping away the natural oils from your Pomeranian's skin. Remember to rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water as shampoo leftovers can irritate your dog’s skin.
- Feed a healthy diet: Lack of key nutrients is a major reason of poor coat conditions. For your Pomeranian puppy's coat to be fluffy, you need to feed them the right food with the right nutrients.
- Pack on the omega: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are vital to keeping your Pomeranian's coat fluffy. Make sure to give your Pom Omega 3 & 6 supplements in moderation. Too much could give your Pomeranian an upset stomach.
- Protect your Pomeranian against parasites: Fleas and ticks irritate your Pomeranian's coat and skin. It makes your Pom constantly scratch and bite itself. Parasites can both damage your Pomeranian's coat and cause issues for your dog’s health.
A Few Grooming Tips for Pomeranians
Here are some precautions that you should consider while grooming your Pomeranian:
- Never use any human shampoo for Pomeranians. They contain chemicals that can harm your little furry friend.
- Thoroughly rinse the shampoo out of your Pomeranian's fur. This will help to prevent any skin damage or allergies.
- Never shave your Pomeranian unless recommended by your vet. These coats serve a purpose based on what the dog was bred to do. Shaving your Pom can lead to sunburn, allergies, dryness, and other skin conditions.
- There are various dog detanglers that you can use to help make brushing easier for your Pomeranian.
- During the shedding season, brush your Pomeranian's hair daily. This will rescue you from loose hair flying around your house.
- Grooming will help to remove dead hair and prevent mats and tangles.
- Take your time, be gentle and make grooming a positive experience for your Pomeranian.
- You do not need to bathe your Pomeranian every week. Ask your breeder or groomer how often you should be bathing your Pom. Overbathing is not recommended as it can also cause many skin conditions.
Pomeranian Coat Stages Conclusion
At the end of the day, all Pomeranians are beautiful in their own way just as they are, they just need good care and attention. Whatever their fur looks like, if Pomeranians are healthy, that is all that matters anyway!

The world is obsessed with the porcelain skin of Korean women and k-beauty. The trend started with the 10-step skincare routine done majorly by YouTube vloggers but nowadays Korean Beauty is leaving the 10 steps behind and dominating the world.
In the US, 13% of 10 to 17-year-old girls want to try K-beauty products, and 18% of 18 to 22-year-old women are using them.
In 2017, South Korea’s beauty industry was worth over $13bn (£10bn), according to researchers Mintel.
Katie Thomas the Marie Claire’s beauty editor for Marie Claire said that the fascination with Korean cosmetics is due to how innovative they are, in her words “South Korea’s beauty industry is about 10-12 years ahead of the rest of the world”.
So, what is K beauty all about?
Korean beauty tries to use natural and weird ingredients, like snail mucin or bee propolis, focusing on nourishing and pampering the skin, instead of simply covering the imperfections, although the K-beauty also does that very well. K-Beauty is known for its unique recipes.
There are a few things rumored to make Korean beauty and skincare excellent. First, the extremely competitive environment causes the price, innovation, and quality increase.
South Korea exports more than $2.6 billion in beauty products annually, according to the nation’s customs agency. K-beauty is now found in luxury department stores such as Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman, which carry high-end Korean labels.
“Korean beauty rode that wave of wellness,” says Larissa Jensen, a beauty analyst at NPD Group. “It also was fun—bubbling masks and foaming masks that people could share on Instagram.”
Korea is also one of few countries with “functional cosmetics,” Cho said, a given title for anti-wrinkle, elasticity-boosting, pigment-fading, and sunscreen properties.
As the days go by more and more foreign cosmetics companies’ close business with Koreans manufacturers, the examples are: PeachandLily, Lazada, Jinme, Glow Recipe, and many others.
The key reasons for K-Beauty fame globally are:
Better quality, efficiency, safety, high productivity as well as low price.

Emily Wells is a Master of Environmental Studies student in Dalhousie University’s School for Resource and Environmental Studies. With her supervisor, Dr. Kate Sherren, her work focuses on how the Mi’kmaq value, relate to, and approach coastal adaptation in Landscape One, Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy dykelands. Her full profile is available here.
The International Association for Society and Natural Resources (IASNR) is a prestigious, international community of social scientists, policy makers, and practitioners that study and manage human relationships with the environment and natural resources. IASNR hosts an annual conference for its members with the primary objectives of sharing and enhancing scientific understandings of society-natural resource relationships and facilitating cross-sectoral collaboration among social scientists (students, faculty, and industry), policy makers, and practitioners in these fields.
I had the privilege of attending the 2022 IANSR conference at the University of Costa Rica in San José from June 26-29. Costa Rica is a global leader in conservation and presented an ideal venue to deliberate the conference’s theme, Sustainable Development in Practice: Integrating People, Place, and Policy. I contributed a poster describing the preliminary results of my research on relational values in Indigenous contexts – if you’re curious to read more, refer to the information box below:
Connecting Relational Values to Their Embedded Concepts
Synthesizing concepts derived from human-nature relationships in Indigenous contexts to assess their contribution to relational values discourses
Since the establishment of Ecosystem Services (ES) or, more recently, Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP), discourses around environmental assessment have evolved from prioritizing instrumental values (i.e., how does nature benefit people?) and intrinsic values (i.e., what is nature’s inherent value, independent of people?) to include relational values. Relational values are shown to better align with land-based worldviews, such as those of many Indigenous people.
Relational values comprise a range of concepts that themselves have a rich history and literature that is not being clearly connected to relational values discourses. Working specifically in Indigenous contexts, this study aims to locate relational value concepts and situate them within the typologies of the current discourses on relational values. The author employed a scoping review methodology to locate and thematically code studies that feature relevant concepts.
This study demonstrated that discussions around the antecedents of relational values and their specific Indigenous expressions bring further context to and enrich relational value discourses. We identified the relevance of particular relational values in Indigenous contexts, outlined the language used to describe these values, and presented emergent concepts that aligned closely with Indigenous ethics. Engaging with these parallel literatures may strengthen the goals of relational values, such as bridging knowledge systems and promoting sustainability, while identifying Indigenous-specific relational values is also critical for meaningful collaboration and contribution to relational value assessments and, more broadly, co-management decisions.
During the main conference days, I attended presentations, workshops, and organized sessions on numerous topics that all centred on the intersections of natural resources and societies. Practitioners and researchers shared emerging knowledge on topics like stakeholder engagement in social-ecological systems (SES), Indigenous action, innovative qualitative method tools, ecological restoration, and coastal and marine management. If you’re familiar with ResNet’s Landscape One (L1), you can appreciate the uncanny alignment between these topics and our own research. I was in my niche. I am coming away from these sessions with practical lessons for my work, such as relevant theories and soon-to-be-released papers, as well as direct connections with the experts that are advancing knowledge in these fields.
Gratefully, there was an abundance of spaces and opportunities to connect with these experts informally outside of the sessions. I attended a pre-conference field trip to Tapantí National Park, a student forum, and a closing banquet on the hilltops that overlook the nation’s expansive capital city, San José. As a COVID-era graduate student, I have had limited opportunities to expand my professional and academic network, especially in-person. I am also new to social sciences, making the IASNR conference an exceptional opportunity to cross pollinate with people that share my interests and fields. I became more adept at identifying common interests with potential mentors and colleagues, which led to more meaningful and fruitful conversations. My contact list grew exponentially with each day of the conference. I am leaving the conference feeling energized and excited about future research, practice, and networking.
Moving forward, I am preparing my literature review results presented at the conference into a manuscript. I am contacting key colleagues from IASNR to establish ongoing relationships through mentorship and occasional coffee dates.
I am indebted to numerous people for the opportunity to attend IASNR 2022. I would first like to thank Dr. Kate Sherren, my supervisor and the L1 co-lead, for providing generous and continuous support throughout my thesis, including this literature review and conference. Her long-standing involvement in IASNR became a great conversation starter, and she was highly encouraging of me attending and making the most of it. Second, I thank the IASNR conference organizers for pulling together an impactful and safe conference; I can hardly imagine the challenges of organizing an in-person event for such a volume of people from around the world, yet they did so (seemingly) seamlessly. Finally, I would like to thank the many bodies that fund my learning: Dalhousie’s Department of Graduate Studies (DAGS) provided a travel grant for this excursion, while Nova Scotia’s Department of Agriculture, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Canadian Graduate Scholarship (CGS-M), and, of course, NSERC ResNet fund my thesis. ¡Muchas gracias! | <urn:uuid:4bcf3890-8566-469c-9d56-25d43cb9c9e4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.nsercresnet.ca/blog1/emily-wells-hqp-mes-attends-the-2022-iansr-conference-at-the-university-of-costa-rica | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.926634 | 1,225 | 2.421875 | 2 |
a. For all of these, I would think to expand the category into subcategories. So not just "bank account" but time value of money and NPV, bond details, etc. You learn something when doing this finer description.
b. Maybe it fits under your (2) but radioactive decay is a huge one you did not mention. Applications include carbon (and other) dating, radioisotopes for health use, after the A bomb, or a leak/accident from a power station. If you look at the source, it decays toward zero, if you look at a (stable) product, it approaches a set amount. It is possible to complicate the problems slightly with some algebra by looking at concentration versus activity or different fission products or decay pathways (meaning it is not a 1:1 factor) or with uranium enrichment/depletion (some proportion needed at beginning, end of problem).
c. Analogous to thermal gradient equalization, there are also chemical gradient equalizations or pressure equalizations (through an orifice). [These are not academic problems, a relevant one that I know is buildup of chlorides in a heat exchanger with a pinhole leak to saltwater side.]
d. Capacitor discharge (or charge) in a DC circuit. The former goes to zero (assuming this is the power source), the latter to applied voltage (usually the battery in the circuit). Look up "RC time constant". (There is also "RL time constant" for an AC circuit with an inductor, but high school kids usually grok DC better than AC.)
e. Some chemical reactions (depending on rate order). Usually this is way too fast to be a meaningful problem for tabletop or industrial reactions but if you look at geochemistry or the like it can be meaningful. Note that this is a kinetics problem approaching an equilibrium value.
f. (From googling) compaction of sediments and buildup to terminal velocity (falling in air resistance).
g. Attenuation of a flux through a media (light, X-rays, neutrons). [Note the dimension is no longer time but thickness. So it is a nice difference. but math is still an exponential. Instead of looking at "half lifes" (5.5 years for cobalt 60), you normally talk about "tenth thicknesses" (inch of lead for gamma rays).
h. Decline of an oil well. (Note there are several different models, but the simplest is exponentional, which corresponds to a bounded permeable reservoir.) Look up Arps decline for reference (lots of good explanatory pages on the web so you don't need to, but may, read the iconic journal article itself.) Note also, while it might be too much for an "Algebra 2" student, that the other models (hyperbolic, harmonic, etc.) are quite nice mathematically and you can see how they change into each other via "b factor" (b=1 is harmonic, b=0 is exponential). Might be OK for an honors class or pre-calc class that is doing a lot of function graphing. I had to come up to speed in this field and (having no geology background) found that strong high school functions knowledge helped me to nuke it out. So all that high school stuff can make a difference!
i. Product/market introduction. See "product life cycle" or the work of Christensen from Harvard Business School. The model is concave up exponential at beginning, roughly linear in middle, then concave down to a plateau (in other words a sigmoid curve, with an inflection point). [If the product ends up being displaced, you will have a have a bell curve effect of going down as substitute products come in, and then concave up with the tail of usage. (This is also what graph of the market leader that is losing share looks like.) For a given product, may approximate a Gaussian if the plateau is short in duration or two sigmoids with an approximate level plateau in between.]
j. Another curve that approximates a Guassian is the famous Hubbert "peak oil" bell curve. I would be leery of saying "this is how it works" since of course you can have deviations from shape (Hubbert admitted this, it is a generalization) and even radical departures, like US recent oil production. But if you look at areas like North Sea or Cantarell, model has good fit. And part of life in engineering/science is just to try models and they make work for a while (even a very good fit and theoretical sound fit like buildup of toxins in fish in a stream might change if the hydrology changes for instance.)
k. Of course any normal distribution (arrows hitting a target, observers estimating a value by eye, IQ, etc.) will have a Gaussian distribution. I would probably skip this as it is harder to introduce the more abstract concept of a distribution than to discuss time variance. [But including for completeness.]
Bonus: Not directly responding to your question, but I find that showing people graphing on log-log or semilog scales is helpful in coming to grips and seeing application. You can actually go to the engineering store and get that paper with the tiny green lines and such...you can just feel the science/engineering application come through by being a little physical. (Mathematically it makes no difference, but we are psychological creatures, not computers...while you are there check out the other cool paper like the triangular phase diagrams!)
Lot of common effects are logorithmic. [You can also have the kids graph some functions from above a-h list in linear and semilog paper.] Sonar/sound is one I know well, but maybe little bit of a tangent to bring in decibels. But earthquakes and Richter scale is one that people know of by word and useful to learn it is a log scale. So a 7 earthquake is not marginally worse than 6 quake but ten times worse. And a 3.5 is some wimpy stuff! | <urn:uuid:c2042e03-c6f5-436c-bd26-012a16a9dd1d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://matheducators.stackexchange.com/questions/13975/interesting-settings-for-exponential-growth-or-decay | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.939053 | 1,266 | 2.34375 | 2 |

Desiring a place of worship more unified with the Church of England’s traditions, a dissident group of mainly lumbermen broke away from the North Guilford Congregational Church in Connecticut to form St. John’s Episcopal Church in 1747. A testament to the sentiment that time mends all wounds, 75 years later, the North Guilford Congregational Church donated the adjacent land where the parish of St. John’s Episcopal Church now assembles. Built in 1812, the reserved structure epitomizes early New England church architecture with its simple white exterior and prominent, central steeple. The neutral interior palette evokes notions of purity and stability, personifying its noble yet modest existence for more than two and half centuries. | <urn:uuid:152dbece-21cd-4c2a-8a1a-08d01e156450> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://seththompson.info/sacredspacesne/category/connecticut/page/4/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.912266 | 186 | 2.734375 | 3 |
Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
Many people lose their tempers merely from seeing you keep yours.
One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper.
Temper is a funny thing; it spoils children, ruins adults, and strengthens steel
Anger may be kindled in the noblest breasts: but in these slow droppings of an unforgiving temper never takes the shape of consistency of enduring hatred.
The one who cannot restrain their anger will wish undone, what their temper and irritation prompted them to do.
We are not won by arguments that we can analyze but by the tone and temper, by the manner which is the man himself
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more it remains.
He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it, if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
My temper leads me to peace and harmony with all men; and it is peculiarly my wish to avoid any personal feuds or dissensions with those, who are embarked in the same great national interest with myself, as every difference of this kind in its conseq
Real rebels are rarely anything but second rate outside their rebellion; the drain of time and temper is ruinous to any other accomplishment. | <urn:uuid:fa50d5df-2b66-4b80-89c0-6a20f77cb06a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theysaidso.com/quotes/on/temper | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.930304 | 550 | 2.0625 | 2 |
The last thing you need before getting on an airplane is added anxiety, and these sick folks really don’t help. When this happens to me, a scene from the recent Hollywood blockbuster Contagion comes to mind, when the actors hope sick people aren’t sitting near them on the flight. Why don’t airports screen for diseases?
After all, it makes sense for airports to screen people for disease. Planes can be the gateway for disease pandemics to make their way across the globe quickly.
Would screening for diseases at an airport make a difference? A recent study out of Toronto says the idea isn’t as effective as one might think. Researchers show screening passengers both before departure and upon arrival can cause problems.
Many diseases have an “incubation period.” This is the time between when a person becomes infected with a virus and when they begin showing symptoms. If the virus is still in the early stages of development when a person gets on a plane, it will go unrecognized if screened.
Additionally, if a disease pandemic is underway in a particular region, the local governments might not have the resources to set up screening facilities in airports. They will be concerned with saving their own people as opposed to making sure the disease doesn’t spread to other countries.
This report comes on the heels of a potential pandemic in China, the world’s most populous country and major transportation hub. A new bird flu, H7N9, has infected 33 people and killed nine to date. So far, it has not been diagnosed outside China and, as far as we know, is contained.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigates new contagious diseases annually. They rarely gain any traction and in most cases are contained and dealt with in a timely and effective manner. They happen everywhere, from hospitals, to small American towns, and to the biggest cities in the world. There is, however, a global network of healthcare professionals, scientists, and researchers to ensure these outbreaks don’t get out of hand. And usually they are successful.
So what can you do about the coughing, sniffling person on the plane? Be proactive. Make sure you’re up to date with all your shots, including your flu shot. Every year, influenza viruses transform and scientists tailor flu vaccinations to combat the strains they think will be the most common and harmful. Getting a flu shot is especially important if you’re a senior, so contact your doctor if you need one.
Pandemics can happen in the U.S. too, but if you’re travelling internationally, do your due diligence. Research any health concerns about the country you’re traveling to and make sure you take the proper precautions to prevent catching a disease.

International Forgiveness Day: What Happens When You Don’t Forgive?
|International Forgiveness Day: What Happens When You Don’t Forgive? by becky0820: 2:15 pm On August 5, 2018|
On a general note, forgiveness means letting go of the feeling of resentment or revenge towards a person. Due to the way all humans are unique in their character and beliefs, we sometimes step on each others toes unknowingly and at that leaving one person angry and bitter. Simple things like words or actions of another person can leave a person hurt and seriously traumatized say in cases of a cheating partner, an abused child, conflict between business partners or a person who has been physically or emotionally abused, such cases would only make a person seek revenge.

Over the past few years we have heard of a conservative political group called the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). This group holds regular meetings which bring together legislators and representatives of corporations. They draft legislation together, and the legislators go back to their states to enact it into law. The corporations also find out where to channel their campaign contributions.
ALEC is beginning to also play a role in local school boards, as we are seeing in places like the Douglas County School District in Colorado. The following report was written by Anne Kleinkopf, a parent who is a board member of the grassroots group Taxpayers for Public Education.
Guest post by Anne Kleinkopf.
Despite an attempt to make it appear as though the Douglas County School District “Choice Scholarship” program was locally generated, it in fact can be traced to the work and influence of powerful pro-voucher, anti- public education organizations, especially the American Legislative Exchange Council.
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a powerful nation wide organization dedicated to pushing its legislative and social agenda. Education is one of ALEC’s biggest concerns, and its agenda for education is quite clear: its ‘ideological mission is to defund and redesign public schools” by “privatizing education” and “dismantling the public school system.” And one of its primary means for achieving this goal is its parental choice scholarship program -the blueprint for the voucher program that was passed in Douglas County School District (DCSD).
ALEC members include individual legislators as well as private organizations. Representative Frank McNulty is a member of ALEC. The Independence Institute, a libertarian think tank that supports a pay-for-performance, pro-voucher agenda, based in Jefferson County, Colorado, is also a member of ALEC.
The Council (“ALEC”) operates in a way that is intended to hide its influence on local legislation. ALEC drafts model legislation and presents that legislation to members at ALEC-sponsored conferences; ALEC members then make minor alterations to “disguise” the source of the legislation and present the legislation to their districts back home as if it were their own idea.
One of the ways that ALEC promotes its model legislation, such as its “Parental Choice Scholarship” voucher program, is through an annual education conference called the “School Choice Academy.” This ALEC conference trains legislators and other interested persons in how to plan, package and sell an array of school “choice” options. The conference includes sessions on every aspect of adopting, selling and defending a “choice” program.
The connections between ALEC, the ALEC school choice conference, which pushes the ALEC Choice Scholarship program, and the persons who championed, drafted, and voted for the DCSD Choice Scholarship program are numerous.
The DCSD school board that passed the ALEC - based Choice Scholarship program was elected with strong financial support from ALEC - related donors. In 2009, the four school board candidates (John Carson, Dan Greken, Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn) received a total of $40,000 in campaign contributions from Alex Cranberg and Ralph Nagel, of the Alliance for School Choice. The Alliance for School Choice co-sponsors the ALEC School Choice conferences. Neither Cranberg nor Nagel is a resident of Douglas County.
Soon after being elected, John Carson advocated the appointment of a “choice” task force. Significantly, all of the original intended appointees to the task force suggested by Carson are active members of ALEC and supporters of its education agenda: Frank McNulty, who serves on an ALEC task force; Pam Benigno, who is Director of the Independence Institute Education Policy Center, serves on the ALEC education task force, and is active in proposing model education legislation for ALEC; Ben deGrow, who is an analyst for the Independence Institute Education Policy Center and gives frequent presentations to the ALEC education task force; and Frederick Hess, who is Director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, gives education seminars with representatives of ALEC, and relies on ALEC education “expert” Richard Vedder in his own reports. Benigno and deGrow ultimately served on the DCSD choice task force, and deGrow was appointed by the DCSD board to serve on the Choice Scholarship Charter School Board; Hess was hired by the DCSD Board to help select the superintendent who ultimately approved and implemented the Choice Scholarship program. Neither Benigno nor deGrow nor Hess is a resident of Douglas County, nor do they have children in Douglas County schools.
Finally, Bob Schaffer, then chairmen of the State Board of Education, strongly endorsed the DCSD Choice Scholarship Program, and urged its approval by the Colorado Department of Education. Schaffer is also a member of ALEC and received the ALEC legislator of the year award.
The connections between the DCSD, the Douglas County Board of Education and ALEC continue to strengthen. In 2012 the district hired Cinamon Watson. Ms. Watson, while an employee of ALEC, helped write the ALEC handbook on privatization of public education.
Not surprisingly, the voucher program drafted and approved by this ALEC-connected group conformed to ALEC’s recommendations for a voucher program in Colorado : it uses “scholarships” given to parents for their “choice” of schools; it draws exclusively on state, rather than local, monies; it is structured in a way that claims not to run afoul of the Colorado constitution’s Compelled Support Clause and so-called Blaine amendments; and it is even named the “Choice Scholarship” program, in conformity with the ALEC model legislation.
Cindra Barnard, president of the Taxpayers for Public Education sent along this note to clarify the current status of the voucher law:
The opinion of the board of Taxpayers For Public Education (TFPE) is that the voucher program, designed by the Douglas County School District (DCSD), lacked accountability, was financially flawed and was inequitable. TFPE filed suit and the voucher program was stopped on August 12, 2011. The trial court ruled that the voucher program violated 6 separate provisions of the Colorado Constitution and the Public School Finance Act. The voucher program, if allowed, takes monies appropriated by the Colorado State Legislature for the public school children of Colorado and gives those monies to private, primarily religious schools for the education of a select group of children in Douglas County, the wealthiest county in Colorado.
The Douglas County School District appealed the decision and on February 28, 2013 a divided panel on the Colorado Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to reverse the trial court decision.
The voucher program has been controversial and unpopular from the start. The public did not ask for the voucher program and the Douglas County School District's own survey shows the majority of Douglas County families are against it. Taxpayers for Public Education plans to appeal the decision to the Colorado Supreme Court.
What do you think? Has legislation inspired by ALEC been enacted in your community?

Elon Musk's hyper-speed commuter transport system is one step closer to reality.
The billionaire's personal tunnelling business "The Boring Company" released a map of Los Angeles illustrating the proposed routes for his traffic-busting network.
If the plans go ahead, Musk says the tunnels could conceivably transport cars at speeds of up to 241 km/h under the crowded highways of one of the globe's busiest cities.
Because the cars will be loaded onto computer-controlled platforms, Musk says congestion-creating obstacles like merging and bottlenecks could be completely robotically controlled.
(The map presented by The Boring Company. Image: The Boring Company)
Stretching from Sherman Oaks in the city's north, down to LAX, out to Dodger Stadium and down to Long Beach Airport, the tunnels now require approval from the City of Los Angeles and residents before continuing.
Conveniently, the tunnel runs exactly past Musk’s upmarket neighbourhood of Bel-Air and terminates near the headquarters of SpaceX – meaning his commute to work could be shortened from more than an hour to just six minutes.
To prove it’s serious about the project, The Boring Company has proposed completing a 10.4km proof-of-concept tunnel.
(WATCH: How Elon Musk became one of the world's most powerful men.)
It would demonstrate the speed, safety and logistics of an underground hyper-speed network.
It's an incredible feat of engineering – and efficiency – if the Boring Company is approved.
Speaking at a TED conference last year, Musk said the entire idea came as a result of sitting in traffic and finding it absolutely "soul destroying".
In December 2016 he tweeted "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging…".
A little over six months later, Musk's whinge about commuting has become a multi-million-dollar business well on its way to delivering a fully-working prototype.
In a conceptual video launched in April The Boring Company outlined its vision: an enormous web of underground tunnels that cars can access to speed past the traffic at street level.
Because the platforms are fully automated there's no wear on the car itself, no chance of a fender bender, and no traffic because the tunnel's computer can sync new cars into the "rhythm" of arrivals and departures.
And in true Musk style, the platforms will be completely electric – essentially eradicating vehicle pollution in one fell swoop. | <urn:uuid:8a9f1e55-ec69-487a-a3f2-a7a8cc8a0c8b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://finance.nine.com.au/executive-suite/elon-musk-releases-map-of-la-undergound-tunnel-system/9b8e2f81-ed47-4448-8657-a0224ce8590e | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.943944 | 521 | 2.078125 | 2 |
Black Enterprise founder Earl G. Graves Sr. passed away late Monday evening at the age of 85.
An icon in the print magazine business, Graves created an outlet that has highlighted the progression of Black Americans since the 1970’s by vividly painting the picture of our unique issues and achievements in business, entrepreneurship, politics, history and culture.
Graves’ son, the current President & CEO of Black Enterprise, Earl “Butch” Graves, Jr. shared the news via social media.
In a tweet that read: “At 9:22pm this evening, April 6, my Father and Hero Earl Graves Sr., the Founder of Black Enterprise, passed away quietly after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. I loved and admired this giant of a man, and am blessed to be his namesake. LOVE YOU DAD!”
Graves leaves behind a rich legacy of teaching Africans Americans the importance of financial literacy and entrepreneurship. | <urn:uuid:eefed086-e6e9-4449-bceb-a27976bf0cd8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lasentinel.net/earl-graves-sr-founder-of-black-enterprise-magazine-dies-at-85.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.903893 | 195 | 1.640625 | 2 |

Will D. Campbell, a progressive Baptist preacher, marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., in Birmingham and Selma, and served as a race relations troubleshooter for the National Council of Churches. Yet he was known as the "chaplain of the Ku Klux Klan." (For more about his remarkable life and his reconciliation work, see our Naming the Days feature for his birthday.)
How could a committed civil rights activist befriend white supremacists, when they were openly persecuting, even killing, blacks? Campbell put it simply, "If you're gonna love one, you've got to love them all." And he believed that God loves everybody too.
This willingness to love the enemy is foundational to reaching across racial and political divides. It is illustrated by two movies, both based on real-life stories of Klansmen befriended by black leaders.
Burden, opening in theaters in March 2020, is the story of Rev. David Kennedy, a civil rights leader in a small South Carolina town. When in 1996 the local leader of the Ku Klux Klan opens a museum celebrating the KKK's history and accomplishments, Kennedy encourages his congregation to protest — but he insists they remain nonviolent and act in the spirit of love, not hate. He even invites a white man, Mike Burden, who has left the Klan to live in his home. He is able to have compassion for Burden, recognizing that the man is suffering too.
The Best of Enemies is the story of the unlikely friendship between an African-American community activist, Ann Atwater, and the president of the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, C. P. Ellis. The schools in their town, Durham, North Carolina, are still segregated in 1971, and when a black elementary school is destroyed by a fire, the community has to decide whether to let the black students go to the white school. A judge brings in an organizer to facilitate a "charette," a nonviolence conflict-resolution process that involves community-wide meetings to discuss issues. Ann and C.P are made the co-chairs. The experience transforms them both — not because of their discussions but because they begin to see each other as human beings with gifts and challenges.
Do you think you could befriend a white supremacist? Do you believe that a white supremacist can relate to those they consider to be inferior and a threat? How do people learn to love their enemies? Will Campbell started with love. David Kennedy started with hospitality, moved on to compassion, and then was not only able to forgive, but he encouraged Burden to ask for forgiveness. And Ann Atwater and C. P. Ellis began with empathy and moved on to kindness.
This is how spiritual practices help us reach across divides. | <urn:uuid:c30e1f45-76b3-4e93-a067-3b33f55097eb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/blogs/posts/practicing-democracy/692/could-you-be-friends-with-a-white-supremacist | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.970831 | 555 | 2.265625 | 2 |
Not far from the Grand Canyon, near a landmark called Vulcan's Throne, the ground is dotted with strange, barren circles, visible from orbit.
Evidence of an alien encounter? Nope. The likely culprit is actually ants — a lot of them. So many that the scientists who discovered them are referring to the area as "the Las Vegas of ants."
Physicist Amelia Carolina Sparavigna, a specialist in image processing and satellite imagery analysis at the Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy, noticed the bizarre polka- dot features while studying the dimensions of the Grand Canyon rim in Google Earth. In a valley near the cinder cone volcano Vulcan's Throne, on the canyon's North Rim, Sparavigna saw dirt circles, irregularly spaced in the scrubby desert vegetation. [Images of the Ant Circles and Other Strange Sights on Google Earth]
"I knew that patterned vegetation can be created by competition between plants and animals, and that, in Namibia, there is a patterned vegetation created by colonies of insects," Sparavigna told Live Science, referring to Namibia's famous "fairy circles." Those odd barren circles in Namibia might be the work of sand termites, though scientists disagree on the true culprit. Other theories include hydrocarbon seeps, ants, and below-ground competition between grasses for water.
Sparavigna suspects that the Arizona circles have a simpler explanation. The desert around the Grand Canyon is home to red harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex barbatus), which can build nesting mounds 47 inches (120 centimeters) in diameter. These mounds are often surrounded by up to 108 square feet (10 square meters) of bare ground, Sparavigna wrote in a paper posted online on Jan. 11.
The paper has not been peer-reviewed, and Sparavigna is quick to note that it will take more than an eye in the sky to confirm that the bare dots are ant mounds.
"It is quite probably that the observed patterned vegetation can have its origin from the interaction of vegetation and ants, but an on-site investigation is necessary to be sure of it," she said.
The dots weren't visible in 2008 satellite images, Sparavigna wrote in her paper, but Google Earth has since sharpened its focus on Earth's surface with higher-resolution images Such imagery can provide ecologists with a notion of how organisms are interacting over time, Sparavigna told Live Science.
Ants aren't the only surprising animal life visible on Google Earth. A high-resolution patch of imagery at 10.903497 N,19.93229 E (in Chad) shows a herd of elephants grazing on a grassland. Prehistoric "geoglyphs," or huge patterns made of rock, are also visible on Google Earth imagery, including huge spoked wheels in Jordan and rings and crosses in Kazakhstan.
Sometimes, though, Google Earth imagery can trick the eye. A data artifact in Google Ocean explorer sparked rumors of Atlantis in 2009 because some users mistook the grid pattern for sunken city streets. (The artifact has since been removed.) And a Manhattan-size "island" in the South Pacific turned out not to exist (it was a digital carryover error from a mistaken sighting of an island on conventional maps). | <urn:uuid:2de7cf93-3d97-4b80-8b38-96d424a61699> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.livescience.com/53355-las-vegas-of-ants-visible-on-google-earth.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.941252 | 693 | 3.609375 | 4 |
ADELPHI, Md. -- Army researchers created a new collection of video sequences known as the Robot Unstructured Ground Driving, or RUGD, dataset designed specifically to help train autonomous vehicles navigate unstructured environments like forest trails and parks.
With advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning rapidly changing the modern landscape of warfare, Soldiers will soon require dependable robot teammates to assist them with their missions. One major area of focus for the Army lies in autonomous navigation systems.
Dr. Maggie Wigness, a computer scientist from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, strives to ease the burden on Soldiers by having robots reduce some of the risk that comes with exploration and data collection.
"The battlefield can be a very complex and dangerous environment," Wigness said. "Having robot teammates in the field with autonomous navigation capabilities would allow the Soldier to delegate tasks to a robot that are dangerous, tedious, or difficult for a human to perform."
However, while multiple datasets exist for training autonomous navigation in structured, urban environments, there is a surprising lack of available data on unstructured environments that feature irregular boundaries, minimal structural markings, and other visual challenges.
This discrepancy in training data could make robots ill-prepared for tasks such as disaster relief or off-road navigation since rugged terrain bears little resemblance to the well-paved, urban roads that most visual datasets employ. Wigness and her team at the lab's Computational and Information Sciences Directorate created the RUGD dataset to fix this problem.
"We saw the lack of data that represents unstructured environments as a serious gap in the research community," Wigness said. "So, we collected RUGD to fill this gap and help motivate further research in this area."
The RUGD dataset consists of footage collected from a small unmanned ground vehicle that traversed various outdoor environments from stream beds to rural compounds. Furthermore, the footage purposefully included elements such as harsh shadows, blurred frames, and obstructed viewpoints to emulate the realistic conditions commonly observed in these environments.
The researchers assembled 18 video sequences with more than 7,000 annotated frames that categorize the visual classes and define the region boundaries between the terrain and the objects within the scene. In total, the dataset contains over 37,000 images that are representative of what autonomous systems may face when navigating unstructured environments.
Wigness and her colleagues then used several baseline and state-of-the-art deep learning architectures to test the RUGD dataset and provide an initial semantic segmentation benchmark.
"The initial experiments indicate there is significant room for improvement in results," Wigness said. "The challenging characteristics of high inter-class similarity, class skew, and unstructured properties make it difficult for even state-of-the-art architectures to learn how to accurately segment these unstructured scenes."
The RUGD dataset and an accompanying research paper titled "A RUGD dataset for Autonomous Navigation and Visual Perception in Unstructured Outdoor Environments" was recently published in November at the 2019 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.
ARL scientists have already started incorporating the RUGD dataset to conduct research related to semantic segmentation and object saliency in outdoor environments.
In addition, Wigness publicly released the RUGD dataset in hopes of inspiring others to hone in on this particular facet of autonomous navigation.
"Research is often driven by available resources. By making this dataset available to the research community, we are providing a new resource that is representative of challenging real-world unstructured environment properties, and hopefully that will spark more research efforts in this domain," Wigness said. "The use of RUGD has the potential to help train better visual perception systems onboard mobile agents, which in turn will enhance autonomous navigation in unstructured environments."

Adjunct faculty are teaching ever-increasing numbers of first-year and community college classes, yet receive little faculty development. Studies have shown that rising reliance on adjuncts is having a negative effect on student success, particularly for first-generation and at-risk students.
With increased demands to improve graduation rates and other student success metrics, professional development to teach faculty about high-impact practices and other engaging teaching strategies is essential — especially for adjunct faculty who teach the majority of lower division classes.
However, time is a major issue, especially for part-time faculty.
Online professional development that is available 24/7.
In this article we discuss how several institutions have used a one-stop approach to engage faculty members and keep critical resources at their fingertips. | <urn:uuid:b5e5e9f3-01ad-4ff6-ad06-2ad11c3f632e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.academicimpressions.com/blog/improving-student-success-by-providing-adjuncts-a-one-stop-shop-for-professional-development/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.953683 | 167 | 1.945313 | 2 |
WordPress is being used in the millions of websites on the web. People love this platform because of its flexibility, such as ability to add a custom code, and the vast array of plugins and themes available to site owners.
However, at times, you may find yourself in situations where currently available plugins on a web are not fully suitable for your needs. In such case, you will need to add custom code to WordPress in order to extend functionality of your site.
The thing is that even a slightest mistake in your custom code can break a WordPress site. In this article, you will learn an easy and safe way on how to add custom code in WordPress without breaking your site.
Wrong way to add custom code
Before providing you different ways of inserting custom functionality to a WordPress site without breaking it, let’s quickly talk what not to do.
You should never directly edit code in WordPress core, plugin or parent theme files. Changes made in such way are not viable for the long-term.
For example, if you’ve decided to add a custom code to
functions.php file, or modify any other files in your parent theme, then these changes will be overridden when you update the theme.
The same thing applies for plugins and a WordPress core.
Some users use this as a reason not to update their WordPress site, including themes or plugins. This is a very bad approach. Updates keep your site running smoothly and efficiently because of security patches, bug fixes and new features.
Now, we cant talk about methods to add code snippets to your site in a safe way.
Possible ways to add code snippets
One of the possible methods of extending functionality of your WordPress site is to use a child theme. Child themes are often used for overriding functionality and layouts provided by a parent (main) theme.
When you use a child theme you’ll be able to update the parent theme without losing custom changes you’ve added to your child theme. Here more information about creating a WordPress child theme.
Note, if you are using one of our professional WordPress themes then you do not need to create a child theme. Our premium themes comes with a blank child theme that you can freely use on your WordPress site.
Another possible way to add custom code to WordPress sites is to build a custom plugin. Using a custom plugin is a great way to modify functionality of a WordPress site because you can keep these changes even if you change themes.
However, this method requires advanced coding skills. If you feel comfortable building your own plugin then you can refer the WordPress Codex for more information regarding plugin development.
Easiest way to add custom code snippets
The Code Snippets plugin is an easy way to add custom code to a WordPress site without a need to modify any files on your site. Moreover, your custom code snippet can be inserted to a site in an upgrade-safe way.
Once the plugin is installed and activated on your site, you should see the Snippets link in the main menu section in your dashboard:
- Click on Add New to create a new code snippet.
- Add a title for your code snippet.
- In the Code section, add your code.
- Below the Code section, find a section of asking where you want to run your code snippet.
- Add description of your code snippet (optional).
- Add tags (optional).
- Save your code snippet.
Hopefully, you are feeling more informed about how to add custom code to a WordPress site. Knowing how to add code to your WordPress website allows to customize it with a wide range of changes. | <urn:uuid:ec9758a9-dc70-4bb2-a16e-bb396abdccc8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://themesharbor.com/add-custom-code-in-wordpress/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.849224 | 746 | 1.578125 | 2 |
Over the next few weeks, The Cheshire Herald will be publishing a series of columns, courtesy of State Representative Liz Linehan (D-103) regarding this mental health issue in children and adolescents.
This is the second installment in my series on children’s mental health in partnership with The herald. Last week we discussed the warning signs of mental health issues in children and how to determine if your child needs to be evaluated. While there have been many warning signs, it’s fair to say that any sudden changes in behavior may mean your child needs to be evaluated by a pediatrician or mental health professional. You may not be quite sure what normal and age-appropriate behavior is, but it is always safer to err on the side of caution and ask a trusted professional to speak to your child.
But what do you do if it goes beyond the warning signs, to a situation where you feel your child may be in danger? If your child is actively harming himself, having thoughts of suicide, or considering harming others, it should be considered a crisis and immediate intervention is warranted.
Connecticut has partnered with United Way for Mobile Crisis Intervention and the Emergency Mobile Psychiatric Service (EMPS). This is a free 24/7 service so that your child is immediately evaluated by a mental health professional. If you are calling by cell phone, you can also reach 2-1-1 toll free at (800) 203-1234. Press 1, then press 1 again to log in to Youth EMPS.
What should you expect after calling 2-1-1?

The highly trained social worker will speak directly with the child and family to assess any immediate risk, then make recommendations to the parent for further assessment, treatment, or other options.
I cannot stress how valuable this service is to any child or family who needs help. In Connecticut, âthe caller determines the crisis,â which means there is never a reason to be denied help. There is no shame in having the Mobile Psychiatric Emergency Department team come to your home. Every professional on the team would rather you call than not. If you feel like you should call, then call. Trust your instincts. Don’t worry about overreacting, placing a burden on others by calling, or worrying about the stigma associated with calling for service. The service is confidential, it is not entered in the police register and there is no charge. This service is available precisely for this reason: to help a child and a family in crisis.
Suicidal thoughts and expressions of hopelessness, or any self-harm is clearly an emergency. But it could also happen that your child just can’t calm down, or maybe their behavior is getting out of hand, or they are suffering from panic attacks, or maybe you are even having trouble getting them out. out of bed that day because of her incredible sadness or anxiety. These are all reasons why you may decide to call 2-1-1.
Remember that calling a professional is helpful not only for your child, but also for you, the parent. Most of us will have times when parenthood is overwhelming and having a child with a mental illness or behavior problem makes that feeling worse. A fresh professional perspective is beneficial, and allowing someone to objectively assess your child can put you on the road to recovery for all.
Calling 2-1-1 and EMPS is ideal for the needs of the moment. If you realize that the situation is stable, but you think your child needs to be seen soon, there are other options as well. Improved care centers in the area will see your child quickly – in as little as two hours, two days or two weeks, depending on the severity of the situation. Three of these locations in our immediate area include the Child Guidance Center in Meriden, Wellmore in Waterbury and Wheeler Clinic with offices statewide including Waterbury and Plainville. Each of these locations has information and phone numbers listed on the internet and is available for initial triage, assessment, and assessment, as well as outpatient and family therapy, home therapy, and even daily intensive programs. after school called IOP. . These enhanced care clinics can help you from initial assessment to intensive therapy if you wish, and will allow you and your child to see someone on a schedule that is right for you.
These are great places to start when you are concerned that your child is in pain. EMPS, 2-1-1, and Enhanced Care Clinics are proven to provide support and are backed by a team of highly trained professionals who use evidence-based, trauma-informed practices. Best of all, they’re available to you today. Don’t wait to ask for help.
Now that you have information on how to find professional support for your child outside the home, next week we will focus on how to support your child inside the home by actively doing so. a safer place. A word of warning: Next week’s column will contain a âtrigger warningâ by which we alert you to discussions surrounding self-harm methods such as FGC, discussion of suicide, etc. A heavy topic indeed, but one that is incredibly important and vital to ensuring the safety of our children.
As always, I wish you, your child and all of your family the best of luck. By reading this column and arming yourself with all the options available, you are on the right track. | <urn:uuid:a11311aa-f500-4eb4-a233-45f79f822c8a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://tri-cap.org/mental-health-what-to-do-for-a-child-in-crisis/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.959131 | 1,148 | 2.53125 | 3 |
- The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has condemned the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa
- The monarch describes the development as shameful and unacceptable to the black race around the world
- Oba Ogunwusi, who recalls Nigeria did a lot for South Africa back in the past, says Africans need to come together and see themselves as one
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has described the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa on Nigerians living there and their properties as shameful and unacceptable to the black race around the world
The traditional ruler also advised Nigerians alleged to have embarked on reprisal attacks on South African companies in Nigeria to stop it and allow peace to reign.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, the monarch said: "This attack is a shame on the black people, we all need to come together and see ourselves as one.”
Legit.ng gathers that Oba Ogunwusi said that the more Africans propagate their cultural ties across the continent, the more they will see and recognise that they belong to one big family.
He said: "We must erase the ongoing xenophobic killings in Africa, we only have artificial boundaries. We are all the same, whether Nigeria or South Africa.
“Also, we must not forget so soon that Nigeria helped South Africa to fight the apartheid regime that led her to becoming a democratic country in 1994.
"That development led to the late Nelson Mandela emerging as the first democratically elected president of South Africa."
He said that it is unfortunate that the people involved in the xenophobic attacks either in South Africa or in Nigeria were only being misled by those who never knew the history of Africa and had no stake to lose.
Oba Ogunwusi said: “They are attacking their fellow brothers. Nigeria did a lot for South Africa back then. Our heritage and culture are factors that bring us together as members of the same family.
"The attacks on one another is mere ignorance and unacceptable. We should come together as one unified force."
Legit.ng previously reported that Air Peace Airlines offered free flights to Nigerians willing to return home from South Africa as the xenophobic attacks in that country continue unabated.
The disclosure was made in a statement on Wednesday, September 4, by the spokesman for the ministry of foreign affairs, Ferdinand Nwonye.
According to the statement, Air Peace volunteered to send an aircraft from Friday, September 6, to evacuate Nigerians who wish to return to Nigeria free of charge.

Lung cancer is the third mixed common exemplar of cancer in Germany and the clamour affects both men and the missises. No matter how, immunotherapies are bang in only 20 percent of in the circumstance thats. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) be undergoing now rooted a unconventional structure that superintends carcinoma evolution in lung cancer. This unstops up new feasibilities in the treatment of lung cancer patients. The occurs were promulgated in the record laws Oncoimmunology.
The percentage’s exempt routine on occasion returns to lung cancer but off it wanes, close the cancer disavow over and beyond.
The unaffected practice not solitary oppugns pathogens, but is also powerful of recognising and eliminating pathologically mutated prevaricates. ‘Off the association’s insusceptible routine commiserate withs to lung cancer but off it ignores, obstacle the cancer gates over’, says Prof. Dr. Susetta Finotto, advance creep of the Department of Molecular Pneumology at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen. The compute that this unsusceptible retort is rechanneled off in lung cancer patients has not yet been sufficiently researched.
The fuselage commonly retaliates to sarcoma apartments with an from response. An well-connected signal molecule, the misdesignated transcription complexion Tbet, womanizes a task in protuberance apologia, whereby T helper allowances of group 1 (Th1 apartments) and CD8 T apartments (that engagement excrescences) are visualized. The lung excrescence arises if there is a be of Tbet in the appropriate cells. Prof. Dr. Susetta Finotto and her line-up of researchers rooted this during aforementioned check out.
In the latest con impelled out by Prof. Susetta Finotto’s in concert, Dr. Katharina Kachler researched the rle of self-styled Treg diets in lung cancer in different detail for her dissertation. The translational workroom was lugged out in collaboration with Dr. Denis Trufa and Prof. Dr. Horias Sirbu, both from the Idle on of Thoracic Surgery at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen.

Researchers get high on now discovered that lung lumps are capable of reprogramming the ingenuous response — they call forth the messenger crux TGF-beta, a protein that acclimatizes cell burgeoning and induces Treg cubicles in the surroundings. This expresses that lodges aren’t got to question the cancer, but let in the tumour to to gather instead. ‘On the nose those Th1 apartments with Tbet that are front-office for anti-tumour exempt excuse are the individuals that are smocked off’, means Prof. Susetta Finotto. ‘This newly-identified TGF beta-dependent plausible positivism in lung cancer is carry out important for the regular of tumour bulge in the lung and mentions new approaches for lung cancer psychotherapy’, she reads. This disclosure, which the researchers secure on the agenda c gull published in the every thirteen weeks Oncoimmunology, could encourage to increase the survival ratings of lung cancer patients. ‘In authority to make clinical immunotherapy, which is at base successful in 20 percent of housecoats, more burgeoning in future, our drift ofing out would be to circa patients TGF inhibitors in accrual to conventional immunotherapy, when it happened cancelling out the Treg lodgings blockade that congests the inoculated reply to excrescence evolution’, extenuates Prof. Finotto. | <urn:uuid:e020b550-cf90-47de-af1c-dd35542e5b6b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://piwip.com/oncology-and-hematology/better-equipped-in-the-fight-against-lung-cancer.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.902644 | 877 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Step 1: Respond to the following: The political culture of the U.S. favors individualism. Yet, in spite of all that, the U.S. government can be described as a welfare state, which is one in which government agencies and programs provide benefits to the population, from “cradle to grave.” Importantly, a majority of U.S. adults look to government for at least part of their income, including corporate subsidies and support, and one in seven people in the U.S. is a government employee. Discuss how the U.S. norm of individualism can be reconciled to the welfare state. Is the solution simply to dismantle the welfare state? What might be the consequences? Discuss this from the perspective of both the structural-functional and the social-conflict approaches.
Step 2: Respond to the following: Do you think the reluctance of people in the U.S. to address problems through collective action shows that people are basically satisfied with their lives? Or that they think individuals acting together can’t make a difference?
Step 3: Respond to the following: Common-sense and media perspectives on terrorism emphasize its irrational nature. For example, terrorists are often characterized as disturbed or deviant individuals and their acts are framed as senseless reflections of pure hatred. Based on this unit, discuss how it might be possible to see those same acts as reasonable and sensible, at least to terrorists themselves? What leads groups to see terrorism as a logical, appropriate social movement strategy? What leads other groups to frame it differently?

We all know very well that the main way to earn money from any website or blog is to display advertisements and the company that is most likely to do so, Google can offer this opportunity to any website or blog owner through their adsense.
(If it is appropriate) but Google Adsense is approved for your site, then there are some restrictions that will be prohibited. You can earn money from the money .
There are many reasons for Disable among which I am sharing some tips with you today that can be used to protect you from being a Google Adsense Disable. So let’s look at the tips without delay.
Here are the primary reasons Google will ban AdSense accounts:
Fraudulent Clicks: Google is a perfect tool for identifying invalid clicks. Some publishers think that calling friends and family, forcing them to search their sites, find ads and then click on them, they have kept knowing, but this is a considerable risk and not at all worth the minimum reward you can get. Others have tried to hide their traffic or use automated programs that will click on their sites, which is, of course, unacceptable and considered invalid activity.
Fake Traffic: Publishers will buy vast amounts of invalid traffic from often questionable sources or buy websites where most traffic comes from dubious sources. (Note: when I mention questionable sources, I mean traffic that can be incentivized or directed to sites by sharing traffic, social media, etc.) This kind of traffic is bad for advertisers. They pay for traffic that won’t eventually convert to them. Using search engine optimization (SEO) is a safer route for bloggers and website owners.
They previously closed the account. Sometimes publishers who were previously banned try to sign up for another account by changing their name, using a friend’s contact information, etc. Google is excellent at this and fires you when you get caught. Instead of registering yourself again, consider the options below.
There is a fourth option that seems less common, but it is reported from reliable sources. Some claimed that they didn’t do any of the above and were still experiencing Google shutting down their ads account for no reason. It isn’t easy because the question always arises about how honest they are about what they have done with their accounts and sites.
In some cases, they had problems with their accounts because they told others about the sites they had under their control. Others may have visited their sites and clicked on their ads. (This could be because their readers visit their sites and try to “help” their earnings by clicking on their ads, or it could be envious of competitors doing this to cause problems with their sites.)
It is also helpful to read the Google Adsense Program Policies. Before moving on to the following steps, check your online business for this set of rule violations to make sure they aren’t being broken.
How to protect Google Adsense account from disable?
- You never use PTC related ad websites or blogs.
- Never hide the Google Adsense ad-on, below your site menu, the slider or the image. Because the account will be banned by clicking on Visitor Accidental Ad.
- Do not tell anyone on a social network to click on your ad because Google AdSense always tracks where the click comes from.
- At least 70% of visitors visit your blog or web site or search engine or organic. If your visitor comes from social sites, then the account is likely to close.
- Never copy post from another web site or blog.
- Try using good quality keywords Hacking or Drugs .Do not use keywords in this type because they are not acceptable to Google.
- Do not try Black Hat SEO.
- Do not exchange linked links without the related sites. This means that you can share links to those sites that match the content of your site.
- Do not place adult content or pornography on the site.
- Do not use any other low-quality advertising network with Google Adsense.
- Do not write anything that indicates visitors are ad cycled.
- 13. Never try to edit the ads code. You will use the way Google Adsense will give you the same way.
- 14. AdSense hates spam, so do not keep your link in any sites spammed.
- 15. Do not use pop-ups on your blog or site because AdSense hate it.
- 16. Posting on your blog or on the website of the web site, the post that each of the posts will be of value. Just like Adsense was before. | <urn:uuid:6c963708-01f3-4f64-87f7-82fb5a393943> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://techteacherdebashree.com/google-adsense-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.944818 | 963 | 1.546875 | 2 |
Taking Healthy Risks to Move Forward in Life
Taking risks in life is usually associated with doing something that maybe detrimental to us or those around us. Looking at approaching this area in a different way and maybe considering this as healthy risk taking can help you to challenge yourself and do something you may dread otherwise.
Sometimes we know we are in fear, and no amount of positive self talk is going to help us. By sharing our fear around an activity, phone call or whatever is becoming difficult for us with a close trusted friend, and making a clear date and time to conquer this may help. We can share our experience with the same friend having taken the healthy risk, as this allows us to explore our feelings further and may be challenge those that are difficult. You may be pleasantly surprised!
I've struggled with this myself and recently challenged myself by trying a new activity. My health club has recently introduced anti-gravity yoga, which is very different as you do your workout using silk hammocks and have very little access to the floor and a yoga mat.
At my first class we were introduced to inversions in the first five minutes, which looked overwhelming initially. Having done this successfully and allowing myself to feel a little anxiety and fear I did feel fantastic after. It was an exhilarating experience, and I did this several times within the hour to challenge my fear of been in the air. I have since been back and tried other exercises to challenge myself.
Taking healthy risks in life allows you to grow by challenging your inner critic that has doubt and fear and will always find an excuse to procrastinate by avoiding taking that healthy loving risk. The more you can step out of your fear the easier it will become. Over time the more risks you take the stronger you will become and welcome new challenges.
Feel the fear and take that healthy risk, trust that you will be taken care of and enjoy the Rewards! | <urn:uuid:ccd234de-4080-4095-9980-881149581c89> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk/memberarticles/taking-healthy-risks-to-move-forward-in-life | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.97671 | 386 | 1.578125 | 2 |

On April 25, 1917, the world received a young singer who would become known as the first lady of song–Ella Fitzgerald. She was born to a couple in Newport News, Va., who parted ways shortly after her birth. Ella was considered a tomboy in her early years in New York, where she and her mother moved, but she made friends easily and was often seen playing with the local boys in neighborhood games like baseball.
To help with finances at home, she took up odd jobs and worked as a runner for gamblers, picking up and dropping off money for bets.
Tragedy struck in 1932 when her mother died after a car accident. Fitzgerald took it hard. Shortly thereafter her mother’s longtime boyfriend, Joe, died of a heart attack. The heartbroken Ella and her half-sister moved in with her mother’s sister, Virginia.
This was a period in her life when things became very difficult and trouble came knocking at her door. She often skipped school and was frequently picked up by police.
At the age of 15, she ran away from home only to struggle in the streets during the Great Depression. But things started to change a few years later.
In 1934, at a weekly drawing at the Apollo Theater, her name was pulled, and she was given the opportunity to perform at the theater’s Amateur Night.
Planning to dance in the competition, she changed her mind after watching the popular Edwards Sisters close the main show with a dance act she was sure would trump anything she could do.
While on stage, faced with boos and intimidating chants, she decided to sing. Her voice and style floored both the audience and the band. From that night on, her career took off. Saxophonist Benny Carter, who was in the band that night, was impressed by her natural talent and began taking her around to people who could help launch her career.
She began performing in talent competitions everywhere and singing at events. In 1936, her first single, “Love and Kisses,” was released on the Decca label.
Fitzgerald went on to become one of the most noted Jazz voices in the world.
Ella died on June 15, 1996, and left a legacy of musical versatility and styling that few have been able to match.

DeKalb County residents will soon have the opportunity to safely dispose of old or unwanted prescription or over-the-counter drugs from their homes.
Northwestern Medicine will take part in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day by hosting collection sites at various spots around the community from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 30.
Community members can safely dispose of their unused medications at the drive-up locations at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital Medical Records Building, 2731 Sycamore Road in DeKalb and Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital, 1302 North Main Street, in Sandwich on April 30.
“It is really important to dispose of old prescription medication for several different reasons,” said Marlo Larson, director of the pharmacy at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital and Valley West Hospital.
Proper disposal of drugs is important for both health and safety of others, and local water systems.
“We don’t want to just throw them in the trash because they can be retrieved purposely or on accident,” she said. “Then also flushing them down the toilet is not what we want to do because they can get into our water stream.”
For those unable to make it to a participating drop-off location, local drop boxes are also an option.
“There are several around the area, most are at local pharmacies and they have drop boxes right inside the pharmacy there where can go in and put your used prescription drugs,” Larson said.
For those unsure where to locate a year-round prescription drug collection site, find a nearby location using your zip code at apps.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/pubdispsearch/spring/main?execution=e3s1.
“I think the important thing is, if you can’t take [unwanted prescription or over-the-counter drugs] to this event, really work with a local pharmacy, because we want to keep it out of our trash and keep it out of our waterways,” Larson said. | <urn:uuid:c61e835f-b3d2-44e5-9148-5fa3fbaeb69a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.shawlocal.com/daily-chronicle/news/local/2022/04/20/northwestern-medicine-to-host-local-sites-for-national-prescription-drug-take-back-day-april-30/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.940734 | 428 | 1.796875 | 2 |

Read the following story by Suthivas Tanphaibul from the Bangkok Post’s Guru Magazine. Then, answer the questions that follow.
A cool breeze in the morning (you may not feel it yet in Bangkok) means the beginnings of winter. And as the temperature drops, floral parks across the country spring up and are in full bloom. Here are some seasonal gardens you could check out while they last.
I Love Flower Farm
Chiang Mai, Dec 24 to Apr 30, 2022
Every inch of the fields offers different moods and tones for IG moments. The entrance fee is B90 per person for the flower landscape, though they are only open from Dec 24 until Apr 30. The farm has teamed up with Tethering Balloon Thailand to take your flower field tour to new heights for B900 for adults and B500 for children. The hot air balloon ride service will be available from Dec 25 to Jan 9, 2022.
Manesorn Sunflower Field
Nakhon Ratchasima, until Jan
The farm catches eyes with its vast fields of gold measuring around 500 rai. Visiting Manesorn Sunflower Field is like entering a maze where you find landmarks and art installations hidden along each footpath. A wooden swing, windmills and cartoon sculptures, to name a few, await you to rediscover, or should I say, take selfies with. We recommend you visit the farm from 10am onwards when the sunflowers stand at attention, fully bloomed.
The Secret Garden at Kirimaya Khao Yai
Nakhon Ratchasima, until Jan 29
A gigantic bamboo dome with a zigzagging hallway set as a footbridge leads to a land of beauty. It will be lit up with thousands of light bulbs at night for the "Forest Of Illumination". You can also enjoy the tranquil atmosphere at the Stone Garden, stone art installations or the dock by the lake. The fair also whips up various dishes like moo krata and barbecue sets with a salad bar buffet.
Phu Lom Lo
Loei, from December to February
Phu Lom Lo is hailed as a "Thai sakura mountain", where the cascading valleys will be made appealing once a year by blooming wild Himalayan cherry trees. In season for only three months, December to February is when you can enjoy Thai sakura viewing.
Bua Tong Field at Doi Mae-U-Kho
Mae Hong Son, until January
This flowery hill is worth getting carsick from a ride that passes through almost 2,000 turns from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son.

Fenby seems to have bought into Chennault's air-intensive strategy as the way to defeat the Japanese in China, yet he never does manage to explain how air power can be the decisive factor when there is no means to defend air bases with no adequate ground support, and there would be insufficient supply lines for fuel and parts without ground troops defending the major supply routes from India.

Report Critical Of ZMD Adopted By St. Louis Aldermanic Committee, Debated By ZMD
A report sharply criticizing St. Louis’ Zoo-Museum District (ZMD) was adopted by the parks committee of the city’s board of aldermen Thursday.
Alderman Joe Roddy, parks committee chair, released a draft of the report this week following a year of investigation.
Discussion of the draft also led to heated exchanges at a Thursday meeting of the ZMD board, which was scheduled as a training about board governance. The verbal scuffle began when board member Charles Valier said the Roddy report, on the heels of a recent circuit attorney’s report and media criticism, raises the ZMD’s troubles to an alarming level.
“We are in essence, an entity in crisis,” Valier said.
But board member Robert Lowery disagreed that the ZMD’s difficulties are that extreme. Lowery told St. Louis Public Radio and the Beacon that the board has been very effective during the past few years in its scrutiny of its five institutions.
He pointed to ZMD audits of the Science Center and the Missouri History Museum that shook those institutions and led to leadership changes.
“We’ve addressed those issues at the History Museum and I think we did it very vigorously and we addressed the issues at the Science Center, so I think this commission is doing its job, overall,” Lowery said.
Valier and board members Gloria Wessels and Jerome Glick have been outspoken proponents for change in the ZMD and its institutions, which also include the Botanical Garden, the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Zoo. But Wessels was not present at Thursday’s meeting and Glick has been replaced by new member Patricia Whitaker, a decision made by St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley.
So it was Valier, alone, who challenged the other board members in the session. He told them that if the training’s purpose was to address the board’s actions and decisions going forward, then, “We cannot ignore that the public has condemned us.”
“It is the reality, and we have to do something about it because in many quarters in this community, we’re in disrespect,” Valier said.
Board member Thomas Campbell said it’s the division within the board that is a pressing issue. Campbell blamed Valier and the others for an escalation of issues with regard to the History Museum. He said the fractured board did “unnecessary and excessive damage to the History Museum and to the other cultural institutions.”
Campbell then pointed to the ZMD’s Science Center audit, which took place before Valier became a board member.
“There was not a minority that was inflaming the situation, there was a collective consensus that there was a problem at the Science Center,” Campbell said.
The ZMD will respond to the Roddy report within 90 days, as requested, according to several board members.

Digital Eye Strain
I see many office people who suffer the daily discomfort of eyestrain as they struggle to see their digital device screens.
Avoiding screen fatigue begins with removing blur in your vision with the correct lenses/ glasses. Digital devices have different viewing distances and that may mean a different pair of glasses to read a closer mobile phone screen versus a desktop screen.
To maintain comfort at the screen, the adult human eye needs a few minutes break every 30 - 60 minutes, rest eye muscle contraction and restore the tear film. Dry eye discomfort is a natural consequence of reduced blinking often exacerbated by air conditioning.

There are a lot of special days, weeks and months to observe – in fact, a quick search of any solitary day may reveal a litany of causes to celebrate, from International Talk Like A Pirate Day (argh, matey – it’s on Sep. 19!) or National Clams on the Halfshell Day (who knew?!).
However, I’m hoping you’ll join me in setting aside a little time during the remainder of this month to take a few steps to ensure that you and your family are prepared and informed in the event of an emergency. I’ve taken several wilderness first aid classes through my friend Tom Burroughs of Ozark Safety & Rescue Educators, and they really opened my eyes as a parent to the things I needed to be more prepared to handle on behalf of my family, even in suburbia.
A recent conversation with another friend and encourager, Ed Cooley of Ed Cooley’s White River Gallery in historic downtown Rogers, was an excellent reminder that there is no such thing as over-prepared. In fact, he would likely not be alive today if not for the insistence by his wife Faith that he have a SPOT communication device. (I’ve written Ed’s story as well as a profile of his absolutely stunning photography for the October issue of 2NJoy Magazine).
National Preparedness Month and the Ready Campaign are initiatives of FEMA, and the American Red Cross (Prepare Your Home & Family) is also an excellent source for preparedness resources. Being prepared ranges from awareness of natural disasters and inclement weather to access to health and first aid resources. The premise of preparedness is stated simply on the Arkansas Ready website:
Here are a few things I have done in the past or will do this month to ensure my family is well-equipped in an emergency, as well as links and resources if you’d like to do the same. What are you going to do?
- Take the National Preparedness Coalition’s “Pledge to Prepare” (complete).
- Keep my Adult & Pediatric CPR & AED certifications current (complete).
- Update the emergency information cards in both my daughters’ bags.
- Update family emergency bracelets (sample) for hiking, airports, crowded festivals (complete).
- Complete a Family Emergency & Communication Plan.
- Check our smoke alarms and upstairs fire escape ladder.
- Update emergency kits (another list here) – one in the house and one “go bag.”
- Schedule our flu shots (I used to be a martyr and skip this, but I could make an older person or my child sick).
- Update our first aid kits (in the house, in the car and quick grab kits for hiking, biking etc.)
- Keep an active prescription for a Twinject epi-pen for anaphylactic shock (complete).
- Check our emergency radio and follow weather and emergency services and #ARWX via Twitter (follow my list!)
- Ensure our valuables and irreplaceable documents (birth and marriage certificates, wills, life insurance information, passports, social security cards) are in either a safe deposit box or fire-proof safe.
- Annual reregistration: Benton County Public Alerts, 40/29 Weather Alerts and closings.
- Ask for a SPOT GPS device for Christmas. 🙂
A few resources:
- Visit ReadyArkansas – A State of Preparedness for many of the previously mentioned resources.
- Check out this preparedness book giveaway to one million families and get your e-book.
- The American Red Cross in Arkansas has many tools, classes and resources, as well as a free first aid app.
- FEMA’s Ready.gov site is an excellent clearinghouse.
- Visit the Benton County Division of Public Safety.
Overboard? Probably. I’m ok with that. Overwhelming? Probably a little of that too – but fortunately, there is a whole month. I tackle a few of these things at a time to improve our preparedness overall. Hope it’s helpful – what would YOU add to the list, and what will you do first?

Go! International Is Preparing East St. Louis Youth For Big Things
Over the past decade and a half, Seth Hamilton’s love for foreign languages and martial arts has taken him to destinations around the world: Nicaragua, Guatemala, France and north Africa. Now he’s sharing his love of travel with kids in East St. Louis. His nonprofit Go! International offers free language classes to East St. Louis youth, as well as martial arts training and entrepreneurship programs.
The goal is to help the kids see the world beyond their own communities — and the opportunities within it.
One of those students is Dior Hampton. A sophomore at Governor French Academy, Hampton plans to study Spanish in Colombia for six months next year and then return to East St. Louis to teach younger kids herself.
“With these classes and with me being one of the first kids to go study abroad, I feel like kids are going to want to go study abroad after I come back,” she told St. Louis on the Air. “They’re going to be excited to actually learn the language.”
The 15-year-old, who has taken advantage of Hamilton’s language, martial arts and entrepreneurship classes for about six years, sees what she’s learning as important preparation for what she hopes to do after high school, too — including attending Howard University.
“All I gotta say is: Just work your best at whatever you want to do,” Hampton said. “You’re eventually going to get what you want.”
The work has been an education for Hamilton, too. Raised in Swansea, Illinois, he remembers his first day of teaching at the Christian Activity Center in East St. Louis, back in 2009, as “a crazy day.”
“A kid broke my glasses, and this girl who would turn out to be an all-star student took my keys and pretended she was going to steal my car,” Hamilton told St. Louis on the Air, laughing at the memory. Not long afterward, while traveling with a group of the students in South Africa, he would watch with pride as that same young woman served as an impromptu translator for other travelers from around the world.
Seeing her put her new skills to use, Hamilton was struck by the ways in which do-gooders too often approach impoverished communities: seeing the people as a problem “instead of seeing the people as the resources.”
“They’re the solutions to the problems,” Hamilton said.
Since that realization, he’s sought to put it into practice near and far. During his time in Nicaragua, he started a martial arts school, which since his departure has become self-sustaining under the leadership of a former student.
“Where I only had maybe 20 or 25 students at any given time, he’s got 50,” Hamilton said.
Last year, after years of classes, Hamilton fully incorporated Go! International as a nonprofit. His focus these days is on reaching more and more East St. Louis youth. Even during the coronavirus pandemic, he’s keeping those students busy.
“The kids are running their own businesses — selling accessories, jewelry, snacks — and are socking money away into these savings accounts,” Hamilton explained.
The efforts recently caught the attention of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, which worked with Go! International to set up protected bank accounts for the students with Scott Credit Union.
Hamilton noted that donations make the work of Go! International possible and help keep its classes free of charge for East St. Louis youth. To learn more about the organization, visit go-int.org.

Teach–In Climate and Justice Event at Fruitful Vines College, Ibadan, Nigeria.
The event was attended by 6 staff, 26 students and 2 guest attendees and there were two breakout sessions.
In the first breakout session, students were divided into 5 groups, with a minimum of five students per group. The discussion was centered on two questions which were ‘what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear about climate change?’ and ‘what would you like to know more about?’ Each student in the groups answered both questions based on their understanding.
In the second break out session, all the students listened to four speakers who spoke on different sectors affected by climate change. The topics discussed were:
- Climate change and agriculture
- Climate change and health
- Climate change and transportation
- Climate change and economy
The speakers spoke extensively on each topic and also did justice to the questions the students asked.
The Teach – in climate and justice event was highly impactful on the students. Some of the student participants wrote about what they learnt. In her words, one student wrote, “I used to think that climate change happens naturally; but today, I got to find out that many of my activities that I considered normal, affect climate and cause climate change”, she further wrote that “I would be an ambassador of the climate by sensitizing my neighbours and other people in the environment, that their activities are destroying the planet and we can make a change by planting more trees than we cut, use more of bicycles and trekking for transportation”.
Another student participant wrote that from the videos she learnt that no one is too young to be an advocate of a healthy climate and another student wrote that the use of renewable energy should be encouraged in order to curb the menace of climate change. | <urn:uuid:1625f6b4-3b34-4d13-9b0b-5d405902c6cd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://isnad-africa.org/teach-in-climate-and-justice-event-at-fruitful-vines-college-ibadan-nigeria/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.981108 | 378 | 2.84375 | 3 |
