Miroculus Technology Brings 3D Printing to the Molecular Level With One-Step Cancer Diagnosis Device
Miroculus, a startup composed of worldwide researchers and developers, has developed a new 3D printed device called Mirium that is a one-stop shop at your doctor’s office for pinpointing and diagnosing cancer. While their technology is still in the development phase, they offered a preview of their open-source, 3D printed device, ‘Mirium,’ at the TEDGlobal Conference in Rio de Janeiro last week. TED curator Chris Anderson said it was “one of the most thrilling demos in TED history.”
Miroculus’ new technology is an example of the shift occurring from conventional cancer diagnosis methods–which are not timely or affordable—to the inclusion of new science combined with 3D printing, which reverses those issues. Now if we could just reverse and prevent cancer. Being able to test more quickly and affordably for the onset and diagnosis of disease with rapid microRNA detection and testing is certainly enormous progress. So far, the Miroculus technology has been successfully tested in California, Germany, and Mexico.
Conventional techniques for testing microRNA require multiple steps and procedures. MicroRNA are noncoding ribonucleic acids (RNA) present in your body that are crucial to gene expression. Detection of microRNA is done through assaying tests, which are laboratory procedures performed by scientists who examine the activity and properties of ‘targets,’ or ‘analytes,’ and compare them on an enzymatic level to healthy cells.
As there are many molecule targets to test in detection, often causing the scientist to have to test each one individually, there could be as many as 50 targets or analytes to test. This takes a long time and is expensive.
“Millions die every year because their diagnosis came too late,” says Ferran Galindo of Panama, Head of Miroculus User Experience and Marketing. “Current diagnosis is inaccessible, expensive, and you have to know what you are looking for.”
What if microRNA detection, used in diagnosis of cancer, could be done with one simple blood test? Miroculus technology, based on microRNA, is currently being developed so that with their 3D printed device, ‘Mirium,’ a single test can be used at a doctor’s office to find and diagnose specific types of cancer.
“Miroculous provides an easy way to use a single test during a regular doctor checkup to check for many types of cancer, dramatically increasing the chances for treatment and recovery,” says Galindo.
Using a screen process for these markers, combined with fluorescence, scientists at Miroculus are able to use ‘biological fingerprints’ from an individual’s sample, applying a small drop of blood to a plastic plate or ‘well plate,’ where any cancer present lights up in colored fluorescence. Each cancer presents a specific fluorescent pattern on the plastic plate, miraculously revealing the specific type of cancer. The results are read by their plate reader and then photographed. The analysis takes about an hour. Miroculus uses Arduino software as well as smartphone technology for real-time analytics to ‘try and tackle one of humanity’s largest challenges.’
3D printing is helping the world in a multitude of positive ways—and adding to the fight against cancer is not just a huge bonus, but the relief we’ve been searching for, considering one in three people will be affected by cancer in their lifetime. Thanks to the innovations of scientists who have turned to the affordability and limitless creativity 3D printing offers, they are indeed changing the world, and perhaps giving many people the chance to live in it much longer.
“We aim to sneak up on cancer before it sneaks up on us,” says Dr. Pablo Oliveras of Miroculus.

Budget airline easyJet is aiming to hit new self-imposed emission targets after it took delivery of the first of a new type of aircraft from Airbus.
The Luton-based carrier's chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said the airline would hit an emissions target of 72g of carbon per passenger kilometre by 2022, down 10pc from its current rate and 38pc since 2000, when the level was 116.2 grams.
Dame Carolyn was speaking at Airbus's Toulouse aircraft delivery centre where the manufacturer handed over the first of 100 A320 Neo aircraft on order from easyJet.
These planes have 186 seats, compared to the 156-seat A319 planes in its fleet.
The new CFM Leap 1a engine on the planes will reduce emissions by 15pc and cut noise by half on take-off and landing, according to its manufacturer CFM International.
"One of the most important criteria is the environmental impact of our planes," Dame Carolyn said.
"We have reduced the carbon impact of our flights by a third since 2000."
Dame Carolyn said the A320 Neo opened a "new chapter" in easyJet's history and would "significantly improve its cost per seat", a key metric for airlines.
She said she expected the company to reap a 7pc cost per seat benefit with the A320 Neo over the A320 aircraft thanks to the new planes' fuel efficiency and higher number of seats.
The larger planes will also improve easyJet's capacity. Many of the airports at which the carrier operates have limited slots, meaning it cannot easily add more flights.
EasyJet recently changed its order with Airbus, swapping 30 of 130 A320 Neos it had on order for A321 Neos, which have 235 seats. The first of these A321 Neos will enter service in July next year.
The airline has now taken 300 craft from Airbus, with 129 more on order. The A320 Neo enters service on easyJet this week. | <urn:uuid:3fc1b59c-8eef-4bb9-866e-be0fff2b1d48> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/06/14/budget-airline-easyjet-looks-new-planes-cut-emissions/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.965484 | 404 | 1.96875 | 2 |
Introduction: A primary challenge in psychiatric genetics is the lack of a completely validated system of classification for mental disorders. Appropriate statistical methods are needed to empirically derive more homogenous disorder subtypes. Methods: Using the framework of Robins and Guze's ('Establishment of diagnostic validity in psychiatric illness: its application to schizophrenia', American Journal of Psychiatry, 1970, 126 (7), 983-987) five phases, latent variable models to derive and validate diagnostic groups are described. A process of iterative validation is proposed through which refined phenotypes would facilitate research on genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment, which would in turn aid further refinement of disorder definitions. Conclusions: Latent variable methods are useful tools for defining and validating psychiatric phenotypes. Further methodological research should address sample size issues and application to iterative validation.

The 10th International Conference on Urban Climate and 14th Symposium on the Urban Environment, co-hosted by AMS at City College of New York, kicked off Monday with a number of comments not only about recent extreme weather events but also the appropriateness of meeting in the Big Apple. From the opening sessions, here are remarks from Daniel Zarrilli, the city’s senior director of climate policy and programs and chief resiliency officer. You can find them at about one hour and four minutes into the archived live web stream:
On behalf of Mayor Bill de Blasio I just want to welcome everyone to New York City. A number of speakers have already indicated how perfect a location this is for this conference and I just want to echo that….There is no better place. New York City: we are an embodiment of those global trends that you’ve already heard a little about. Our population continues to grow, our economy continues to evolve, and of course climate change is putting stress on this city like no other and continues to exacerbate those other challenges as well.
We also saw, first hand, the impacts of climate change here in New York City when Hurricane Sandy roared ashore in October 2012: 44 lives lost, 19 billion dollars in damage and lost economic activities. The future had arrived and had arrived with force. It was the worst natural disaster we had ever faced.
But of course it’s not just in New York City that we’re seeing these threats. All across the globe it’s been a horror show watching the news lately with last year’s hurricane season, the wildfires across the West and in Greece, the rains in Japan. This is a global phenomenon; it’s not always necessarily called out that way in the media, but we know what’s happening. It is a global phenomenon and we need to do all that we can to make sure we’re highlighting what was the underlying cause of many of these events.
So, what are we doing here in New York City about it?….After Hurricane Sandy it became readily apparent to us that we could not simply do what maybe was in human nature or what we had done in the past of responding to the last thing that just happened and making sure that Sandy doesn’t happen again. That wasn’t going to be enough for us. It was important to open our eyes and take a step back and think about what the growing risks of climate change were going to do to a city like New York with 520 miles of coastline, with 8.6 million residents—the largest city in the U.S.
Working with our colleagues and friends on the New York City Panel on Climate Change…everything that we needed to do started with the science, started with understanding what’s coming, what is the science telling us, what are the assessments, so that we can begin to develop the appropriate plans to look toward the future. And because of that work we were able to lay out a plan that not only dealt with coastal storms of the type that we saw with Hurricane Sandy but to really understand what sea level rise will do to a city like New York with such a vast coastline. We know we have risks on the coasts, but also that heat kills more New Yorkers than any other natural hazard. We’re doing work to deal with urban heat island effect—planting more trees and that work—as well as the increased risks of rain and sea level rise in the city.
So we laid out a plan, $20 billion was really the first kick-off of that., doing some of that with federal dollars and some of that with city dollars, to do a number of things: To upgrade our coastline with better flood protection, better land use policies, better building codes, to be better prepared for the types of flood events that are becoming more frequent, more intense across the five boroughs. But we’re also doing things to look deeply at land use decisions, and zoning codes to make sure we’re making smart decisions about the future. We’re working with the federal government …to make sure we’re incorporating climate change into our flood maps going forward.
And we’re continuing to invest in civic infrastructure—all the public housing, the public hospitals, precincts, fire departments—all of those things, all those vital services to make sure in the event of future disasters they can continue to serve New Yorkers when they need to …and they’re being better prepared and they’re thinking long term about the new types of impacts that we’re going to see.
That’s really phase 1 of what we’re doing on the adaptation end. We’re spending $20 billion yes, but more importantly we’re working to institutionalize the thinking of resilience and climate adaptation to everything we do as a city. We’ve recently released climate design guidelines to deal with climate resilience issues to really bake in the thinking, the thought process, into the engineering codes when we’re dealing with uncertainty in the projections, into how you get to arrive at a number in order to build a new facility, in order to design a drainage system, for instance. So institutionalizing this becomes incredibly important to scale up our action in order to get greater impact for the dollars that we spend and not necessarily rely on the federal government or others….
All of this [is] based on the best available science that we know continues to evolve. We’re already working with Cynthia Rosenzweig (of NASA/GISS at Columbia University) and her team on continuing updates to the New York City Panel on Climate Change projections looking out to 2100. All of that informs what we’re doing. So I think it’s incredibly important that we’re here having these conversations this week, that New York City can really be a model for how science is informing the practice of climate adaptation. I would encourage all of you, as you’re thinking through this week about what can be done to further action on climate change, to find ways to communicate what you’re doing to local practitioners. Find ways to develop partnerships so that your science can integrate with what’s happening locally. It’s been incredibly effective and important to what’s happening here in New York City and I would encourage all of you to bring that home across the globe. | <urn:uuid:0f2b5fbb-2073-444d-b711-8a202fefc042> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://blog.ametsoc.org/2018/08/08/if-you-can-make-climate-resilience-here-you-can-make-it-anywhere/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.959639 | 1,321 | 1.71875 | 2 |

Parent’s Tips on Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival, Vermont
When our daughter was 12 months old, we took our first vacation with her to Quechee, VT. On the trip were me, her, my husband and two of our friends. It was about a 5-hour drive from where we live and we thought she would be miserable. It was actually the opposite. She had a blast sitting in the back seat with our friends playing games and watching WonderPets (that show is her favorite!).
Quechee is a small town in Vermont – it’s very scenic, home to the “Quechee Gorge“, as well as a hot air balloon festival. More importantly, it was where my parents always brought me when I was a baby. :-)
When we first arrived in Quechee we went to the Quechee Gorge which is a very long river that cuts through rocks and has a path down to follow the gorge. Once you are down at the base, kids can walk around on the rocks and small crayfish and all other little water wildlife. My daughter loved sticking her feet in all the pools of water.
Although my daughter was too young to go swimming, when I was a child my parents would bring me to the calm part of the gorge and let us jump off the rocks and swim. When my daughter is old enough we’ll bring her back to do that.
Then we went up the path and had a picnic at the picnic spot which overlooks the gorge.
The following day we went to the Quechee Hot Air Balloon festival. My daughter was in love. There are concession stands and a huge field where kids fly kites and play. There was music playing and we laid out a blanket and watched all the different hot air balloons go up. You can see what the festival is like in the video gallery below – easy to understand why the huge balloons can make any baby excited, don’t you think!?
We even brought her in one of the balloons parked on the ground and she was so fascinated by it. She walked around the perimeter of the basket touching everything. When we left she actually said the word balloon, the third distinguishable word she has said!
On our final day, we took a drive into the mountains and took a scenic walk through the woods. She loved walking along and picking everything up.
Quechee is an excellent place for kids if you want them to enjoy nature and have fun doing it.
I would definitely recommend going anytime the festival is going on!

Overview Of Bulimia
- Bulimia nervosa is often referred to as an illness that affects only young females, but it can affect women and men regardless of age.
What is Bulimia?
- Bulimia is an eating condition that is regarded as bingeing and removing of food. Bingeing is when you consume huge amounts of food in a short space of time.
- After that, you might feel remorseful about the bingeing, and this will result in purging. This is generally done by intentionally making yourself vomit.
Cause Of Bulimia
There is no solitary cause of an eating condition such as bulimia. It’s believed that a variety of causes may activate it, for instance:
- Low self-confidence. You might have a low opinion of yourself. Dropping some weight or continually trying to manage your weight can often be viewed as a way of achieving self-respect.
- Being depressed. You might use bingeing as a way of surviving with your depression or anxiety. Though, purging doesn’t get rid of the depression, and the cycle carries on.
- Emotional anxiety. Bulimia can occasionally occur following traumatic situations or life events. It can progress after an upsetting experience, such as a bereavement or divorce.
- Physical disorder or sexual abuse. Bulimia can happen in individuals who have experienced a physical disorder or sexual abuse. Some individuals with bulimia have experienced problematic upbringings with family complications, arguments and condemnation.
- Mental health complications. Research has revealed that bulimia is more common in individuals with some other mental problem, such as an anxiety disorder.
Don’t suffer in silence
- Individuals with bulimia can find it difficult to acknowledge that they have an issue with food, and it can be particularly hard for men.
- Bingeing and purging can be an approach for individuals to seize control in their lives.
- Many men are reluctant to acknowledge that they can’t manage their eating habits, as they perceive it as a sign of weakness.
Medical Assistance For Bulimia
If you have an eating condition such as bulimia, see your doctor. They will be able to make an analysis and chat to you about possible treatment options.

The first of two month-long legs of the Mariana Archipelago Cetacean Survey has successfully completed. After NOAA cancelled many scientific surveys in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette has returned to operations in Guam. Onboard the ship is a team of satisfied scientists who have spent a month listening and looking for cetaceans (whales and dolphins). So far, they have sighted a beaked whale species not previously observed in the Marianas.
The purpose of this expedition is to survey for cetaceans and seabirds within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The ultimate goal of the survey is to assess the distribution and abundance of cetaceans in the Marianas. The first leg of the survey focused on the western portion of the islands. The second leg, already underway, is concentrating on the eastern portion of the islands and over the Mariana Trench.
Quaran-teaming in Guam
Considerable preparation goes into every ship-based survey, but it was an unusual undertaking this year. The 11-member team of scientists on the first leg completed pre-travel COVID-19 testing. Then they had a 14-day confinement in a Guam government quarantine hotel to ensure the health and safety of the team and the surrounding community. As the Sette steamed from its home port in Hawaiʻi to meet the science party in Guam, the science “quaran-team” received additional COVID tests and daily temperature checks. The government of Guam provided meals that the National Guard delivered outside each team member’s door at scheduled times.
The quarantine was not as isolating as you might think. The team participated in daily virtual training sessions covering the survey’s data collection protocols. Pre-assigned buddies checked in every evening, helping them get to know each other better before they teamed up onboard the ship. Outside the workday, they found their own personal ways to stave off boredom. They engaged in burpee challenges, quilt-making, and jigsaw puzzles. One team member completed a daily walking goal of 10,000 steps, walking loops around her room!
COVID precautions continued when the science team joined the crew on the ship. All aboard wore masks, checked their temperatures, washed their hands, kept their distance, frequently cleaned surfaces, and took additional COVID-19 tests. After the challenges of the past year, the team was grateful to survey again and willing to take these extra precautions to stay healthy and protect one another.
Cetacean Sightings on the Sette
As the Sette traversed the Marianas study area, the visual team searched for cetaceans using bigeye binoculars on the highest deck available: the flying bridge. Once the team spotted cetaceans, they estimated the size of the group, identified the species, and, if possible, collected photos and biopsy samples. Upon observing certain cetacean species, such as sperm whales or false killer whales, the visual team initiated specific observation protocols. These protocols occasionally lasted hours. While correlation does not equal causation, the team witnessed a tendency for these two species to emerge around the ship’s mealtimes (and sometimes at the same time!). Mealtimes are set, so one team member would take everyone’s meal orders to the Sette’s epic culinary stewards. These stewards went the extra mile and set food aside to enjoy when the sighting was over and things settled down.
The team made a particularly important cetacean sighting during this leg. Acoustic recorders had detected the Longman’s beaked whale near the Marianas in the past, but scientists had never seen them—until now. A group of Longman’s beaked whales surfaced in the northwestern portion of the islands, where our team visually identified and even photographed them! For many members of the science team it was also their first glimpse of this species in any location. It was a sweet reward for the extra steps needed to get the survey underway.
Listening for Cetaceans Underwater
Each day from sunrise to sunset, the acoustics team towed a hydrophone array behind the ship. This allowed the acousticians to estimate the locations of cetaceans when they vocalized. In addition to the towed array, they used a variety of equipment to eavesdrop on animals.
The Sette's crew helped the team deploy drifting acoustic recorders for up to 3 weeks to detect deep-diving cetaceans like beaked whales and Kogia species. All hands were on deck to help spot and retrieve the drifting recorders, especially at night. The Sette also retrieved three bottom-mounted acoustic recorders during the project. They recovered one instrument off Wake Island during the transit to Guam, and two instruments off the islands of Saipan and Pagan during this leg. While these recorders are usually stationed for 1–2 years, the Saipan HARP was down for more than 2 years while the Wake and Pagan HARPs were down for over 3 years due to the pandemic. The batteries in its release mechanism were well beyond their life expectancy, so the crew was relieved when the recorder came to the surface. The acoustics team also deployed sonobuoys during baleen whale sightings to collect recordings of their lower-frequency calls.
A dedicated seabird observer collected data on individual birds and foraging flocks throughout daylight hours. He also assisted the visual team as needed with sperm whale and false killer whale protocols. He documented a variety of shearwaters, petrels, terns, tropicbirds, and noddies. The keen-eyed observer added levity to daily reports by describing the variety of persistent boobies competing for the highest roost on the jackstaff, referring to it as the “Iron Perch.” Seabirds have a tendency to relieve themselves directly in line with the visual observers’ workstation—the seabird observer would often alert them by yelling “watch out!”
If the sun was up, chances were good that members of the science team were monitoring the water. Seas were often rough, compromising the visual team’s ability to see animals amongst the swells and waves. When viewing conditions were especially rough (Beaufort 7 or higher), the visual team maintained a “weather watch.” These consisted of one observer monitoring conditions until they improved (Beaufort 6 or lower) enough for all three visual observers to resume their search effort. The seabird observer and acoustics team typically persevered despite the weather, since seabirds were on the wing, still readily visible, and hydrophones were in the water.
After 29 days at sea and 2,100 nautical miles of search effort, the team successfully concluded the first leg of the expedition! In total, the team achieved the following:
- Sighted 31 groups of at least five cetacean species.
- Detected 123 vocalizations of at least nine cetacean species.
- Sighted 2,119 seabirds of at least 23 species.
- Deployed and recovered a total of 12 acoustic recorders that drifted for anywhere between 2 and 25 days and collectively recorded about 104 days worth of data.
The team recovered two bottom-mounted acoustic recorders off the islands of Saipan and Pagan and deployed two more that they will collect in another 1–2 years. Due to the lack of baleen whale sightings, the team made only a few attempts to deploy sonobuoys. Despite the consistently rough weather conditions, the first leg was an all-around success!
The second leg of the project is underway. Follow along with the survey on our 2021 Story Map!

Investigation into responsibility of RWM Italia SpA and Italy’s National Authority for the Export of Armament (UAMA) in deadly airstrike continues
Rome/Berlin/Sana'a - The preliminary investigations judge in Rome ruled yesterday that the public prosecutor in Rome must continue the criminal investigation into managers of RWM Italia SpA, a German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall AG’s Italian subsidiary, and senior officials of Italy’s National Authority for the Export of Armament (UAMA) for their role in a deadly Saudi/United Arab Emirates-led military coalition airstrike in Deir Al-Ḩajārī in northwest Yemen.
In October 2019, the Italian Public Prosecutor’s Office requested the dismissal of the April 2018 criminal complaint filed against RWM Italia and UAMA by the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, its Yemen-based partner Mwatana for Human Rights, and the Italian organization Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo. The three organizations opposed the dismissal.
The judge upheld the grounds of their opposition, and paved the way for a thorough investigation into the responsibility of arms manufacturer and UAMA officials in the deadly airstrike that killed a family of six in October 2016.
“We welcome the decision to continue the criminal investigation into RWM Italia and UAMA’s role in the deadly attack on Deir Al-Ḩajārī. This decision gives hope to all survivors of deadly airstrikes that had no identifiable military target and killed and injured civilians,” the civil society organizations said in a joint statement. They argue:
Furthermore, in a historic decision, the Italian government permanently revoked existing bomb export licenses for missiles and aerial bombs to Saudi Arabia and the UAE on 29 January 2021, thereby cancelling the shipment of more than 12,700 bombs.
Since 2015, thousands of civilians have been killed in the armed conflict in Yemen; many more have died from famine and disease. While human rights violations are committed by all conflict parties, one of the main causes of civilian casualties are airstrikes by the Saudi/UAE-led military coalition whose air fleet is largely composed of European-made fighter jets, bombs and missiles.
“We therefore urge the International Criminal Court to cooperate with national prosecutors to investigate the legal responsibility of corporate and political actors from Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK,” the organizations added.
To ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their role in war crimes, in December 2019, ECCHR submitted a joint communication to the ICC together with Mwatana for Human Rights, Amnesty International, the Campaign Against Arms Trade, Centre Delàs and Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo.
Despite countless attacks on civilian homes, markets, hospitals and schools – conducted by the Saudi/UAE-led military coalition – transnational companies based in Europe continued and continue to supply Saudi Arabia and the UAE with weapons, ammunition and logistical support. European government officials authorized the exports by granting licenses.
In October 2016, an airstrike – alleged to have been carried out by the Saudi-led military coalition – struck a civilian home in the village of Deir Al-Hajari in northwest Yemen. The intentional directing of attacks against the civilian population amounts to war crimes. ECCHR is taking legal action against this.

Bike and scooter rules are laying the groundwork for AVs
During the first wave of mobility disruption, ride-hailing companies found niches beyond the reach of traditional regulation. But as modes of transportation expand — from shared bikes and scooters to the anticipated rollout of autonomous vehicles — governments and regulatory agencies have begun to re-assert themselves.
The big picture: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and many other cities are actively setting policy, rather than merely reacting to private players. Since AVs are likely to be deployed in business models that look more similar to Lime and Bird than (classic) Uber and Lyft, cities will look to carry over the policies they develop around vehicle caps, permits, data sharing and more.
For autonomous vehicles, the greatest lesson from other shared mobility options is that playing nice matters. To deploy new services — and eventually AV technologies — companies will have to learn to work with cities.
- UberCab became Uber to obey the letter of a cease-and-desist notice, if not its spirit. Bird, Lime and other companies tried to take a similarly fast-and-loose approach by deploying scooters on streets without engaging city policymakers — but were quickly met with impounded scooters and lack of access to permits.
- Cities now see the necessity and benefits of active regulation. San Francisco’s permit application process incentivized equity, safety and accountability. LA’s proposed standards — which will allow shared access to data like trip length and utilization — highlight the more sophisticated tools cities will have at their disposal when crafting regulations.
- Cities have experimented with bike and scooter regulation, with approaches ranging from “free for all” to utilization-based caps.
Companies hoping to operate AV fleets will likely have to show how they will improve safety, minimize increases in congestion and include all members of the community (especially young, old, disabled and low-income residents).
- In the meantime, AV companies and cities will have to build tools and platforms to enable more advanced regulation. This creates opportunities for startups and automakers alike.
Why it matters: By creating regulatory frameworks that promote competition, limit fleet sizes and ensure equity and accessibility, cities will shape the future business potential of AVs While this may put a short-term damper on deployment and adoption, it should lead to AV fleets and services that are better integrated into their communities.

In an effort to make the web a bit safer, Google Search will give a small promotion to sites that use encryption (HTTPS) over those that don’t. Google has added a signal for encryption to its algorithm that determines what you see when you search for a topic.
In a blog post, Google said the signal ranking percentage—how much weight encryption will carry into the decision making process of what sites show up in your search—is low, affecting fewer than one percent of global searches, to give sites time to make the switch to HTTPS.
Google did say that over time it may “decide to strengthen it, because we’d like to encourage all website owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS to keep everyone safe on the web.”
Response to the changes have been largely positive, as the industry has taken security more seriously in the wake of the Snowden leaks and revelations of widespread spying and hacking. Employing encryption on larger sites can be a cumbersome process, but the current climate has justified the need for these changes, with little backlash.
Google has been following its own advice, as it has encrypted its own services, including Search, Drive, and Gmail. “We would very much like to see forward secrecy become the norm and hope that our deployment serves as a demonstration of the practicality of that vision,” the company stated. | <urn:uuid:62de329a-4e7d-4e46-a83e-25c18388faa4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/google-search-encryption-algorithm/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.969283 | 280 | 2.125 | 2 |

Athletes can use TURKESTANICA to complete protein synthesis, and TURKESTANICA has been used in fitness supplements. TURKESTANICA plays an important role in improving memory, immunity, endurance, and relieving worries. It is an ancient medicinalplant in Siberia. TURKESTANICA is one of the most biologically active ecdysteroids (ecdysteroids), which is believed to be effective in assisting protein synthesis and metabolism..
Due to the strong adaptability (body regulation ability) of this type of steroid, it may be
banned in certain sports occasions, but this is a natural traditional extract and nutrient, so it is not harmful to the human body.High intensity exercise (High intensity exercise) or any demanding physical activity (physical activity) requires effective recovery and protein synthesis to ensure the effect of exercise. Therefore, adding some tuxosterone to the athlete’s diet can ensure the body Can work better.
Start with a low dose of ajuga turkestanica standardized to 20% turkesterone. We recommend waiting for clinical research to prove the safety and efficacy of Ajuga turkestanica. If insistent on trying it out, we suggest starting with a daily serving of 200 mg standardized to 20% turkesterone.
Ajuga Turkestanica as a Post Workout Anabolic compounds in Ajuga turkestanica may potentially improve muscle growth and recovery. Image by Hana Tal licensed under CC by-nc-sa Believed to carry bio-active compounds that resemble androgens in structure, Ajuga turkestanica could potentially impart such post-workout benefits as: * Increasing muscle mass. Ajuga turkestanica has been shown to increase muscle protein synthesis in animals. * Improving muscle recovery. The herb may increase the muscle-regenerating activity of satellite cells. Overview Ajuga turkestanica is a small flowering plant native to Uzbekistan. Traditionally, the shoots and leaves of the herb have been used as a kind of organic remedy for heart complications, stress, and body aches, especially as a hot broth. Its health effects are believed to stem from compounds known as ecdysteroids – plant chemicals that are proposed to have anabolic effects akin to testosterone and other androgens. Common ecdysteroids include: 1 * alpha-ecdysone * sileneoside A * turkesterone * ecdysterone, typically found in maral root
The potential anabolic properties ecdysteroids have led some to suggest the use of Ajuga turkestanica as a safe alternative to anabolic steroids for boosting muscle mass, recovery, and physical performance.
Did you know? Rumor has it that Soviet athletes consumed Ajuga with the hopes of increasing muscle endurance and strength. Ajuga turkestani is said to have been used by Soviet athletes to improve performance in competitions. [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
How Ajuga Turkestanica Might Help Post-Workout Formulas
Stimulating protein synthesis
Ecdysteroids have been shown to possess anabolic properties that may ultimately lead to an increase in muscle mass2, and e cdysteroids from Ajuga turkestanica in particular3 have been demonstrated to increase muscle protein synthesis in isolated animalcells.4 These anabolic effects have been suggested to result from two biological mechanisms:
1. Accelerating the translocation process. Ecdysteroids have been shown to increase the rate of protein molecule formation by speeding up the translocation part of muscle development rather than producing new muscle cells.5
2. Increase notch signaling, which is essential for the proliferation of muscle cells.6
Notch and Wnt signaling pathway for muscle growth and repair.
Ajuga Turkestanica’s Potential Post-Workout Benefits & Uses
Structures of various ecdysteroids. Ajuga turkestanica contains a considerable amount of ecdysteroids with anabolic properties
that research has shown may have such potential post workout benefits as:7
* Increasing muscle mass
* Rejuvenating muscle repair
The major practical use of Ajuga based on these benefits is as an anabolic supplement ideal for sports and exercises related to resistance training, especially bodybuilding and wrestling.8 Having said, there is currently zero research on the anabolic effects of Ajuga and other sources of ecdysteroids in humans.

Research Animal Research
Research in mice indicates that Ajuga turkestanica may support muscle cell growth and regeneration.
Ajuga (50 mg/kg) may increase the cellular activity of aged mouse skeletal muscle
In this randomized, controlled investigation, mice were assigned to a control group or given Ajuga turkestanica extract (ATE, 50 mg/kg body weight) daily for 28 days. After supplementation, the triceps brachii muscles were analyzed. Compared to the control, Ajuga turkestanica was found to significantly increase the percent of active Notch signaling molecules that are used to activate satellite cells, which are responsible for muscle regeneration.
* The researchers concluded that “ATE supplementation in aged mice increases Notch and Wnt signaling in triceps brachii musclethen phytoecdysteroids may provide a protective effect and maintain the integrity of aged skeletal muscle.”10
Turkesterone in Ajuga (5 mg/kg) may stimulate protein biosynthesis in mice
In this investigation, mice were given either the ecdysteroid turkesterone at 5 mg/kg of body weight or the anabolic steroid
nerobole at 10 mg/kg of body weight. Turkesterone was found to stimulate protein biosynthesis in the liver.
* The researchers concluded that “Actinomycin D, which inhibited the stimulation of protein biosynthesis in liver tissue of mice treated with nerobole, did not affect the phenomenon in mice treated with turkesterone.”11
Ajuga may promote muscle growth, as demonstrated in isolated mouse cells
In this investigation mouse cells were treated with either Ajuga turkestanica extract (ATE) or the anabolic steroid
nethandrostenolone. After 6 hours of incubation, Ajuga turkestanica demonstrated no significant loss of viability and a two-fold down regulation of caspase-3, a marker of cell death, and a four-fold down regulation of myostatin, which is a protein that blocks muscle cell growth.
* The researchers concluded that “our results indicate the potential for an ATE to support muscle mass without typical and rogenicside effects of synthetic anabolic drugs.”12
Ecdysteroids in Ajuga (5 mg/kg) may reduce free fatty acid content
In this investigation, male rats with diabetes were administered the ecdysteroids ecdysterone and turkesterone at 5 mg per kg of mass and the anabolic steroid nerobol at 10 mg per kg of body mass every day for 15 days. The combination resulted in a decrease in the content of free fatty acids in the blood as well as normalized overall phospholipid content.
* The researchers concluded that “phytoecdysteroids in the first turn normalize the fractions of phospholipids which play the structural role in the mitochondrial membranes.”13
There are currently no clinical studies examining the potential impact of Ajuga turkestanica on exercise performance.
* No successful clinical research has delineated dosage for Ajuga turkestanica.
* Ajuga turkestanica supplements are offered at a wide range of 200 mg – 2 g daily.
* 20:1 liquid or powdered extract in gelatine capsules or as a tincture
* Pure dried plant steeped in hot water
Supplements in Review Says
* Ajuga turkestanica 200 mg standardized to 20% turkesterone post-workout.
Ajuga turkestanica may possibly enhance muscle growth and recovery. Early research in animals has shown that Ajuga turkestanicamay be capable of enhancing muscle recovery and increasing muscle protein synthesis, which could in turn lead to increased musclemass. Though not yet proven effective in clinical trials, Ajuga could eventually turn out to be a viable alternative to anabolic
steroids.Start with a low dose of ajuga turkestanica standardized to 20% turkesterone. We recommend waiting for clinical research to provethe safety and efficacy of Ajuga turkestanica. If insistent on trying it out, we suggest starting with a daily serving of 200 mg standardized to 20% turkesterone.

What are the approaches in teaching?
Teaching theories can be organized into four categories based on two major parameters: a teacher-centered approach versus a student-centered approach, and high-tech material use versus low-tech material use.
What is approach in present tense?
The past tense of approach is approached. The third-person singular simple present indicative form of approach is approaches. The present participle of approach is approaching.
What is the difference between method and approach in teaching?
While approach refers to the way a teacher considers content while deciding how to teach it, method refers to the way a teacher ultimately decides to teach it (for example, as a lecture, an activity, a discussion, etc.).
What are the direct teaching approaches?
Direct instruction is where teachers use explicit teaching techniques to teach a specific skill to their students. This type of instruction is teacher-directed, where a teacher typically stands at the front of a room and presents information.
What are the two approaches in language teaching?
The communicative approach is the best-known current approach to language teaching. Task-based teaching is a methodology associated with it. Other approaches include the cognitive-code approach, and the aural-oral approach (audiolingual method).
What are teaching and learning approaches?
Formal teaching approaches include lectures, demonstrations, instruction and presentations which are usually teacher-centred. This is known as pedagogy as the teacher is usually in control. Learners are generally passive and it might be difficult for the teacher to assess that learning has taken place.

Rodents have been pestering humans for as long as humans have lived in inside structures. There’s something about our homes with all the nooks and crannies that just invite mice and rats to try and come on in to make themselves at home. Annoying! They can show up anywhere from crawl spaces to air ducts to pantry cabinets. They can carry disease and can easily contaminate the food supply in any human’s home. Like anything else, there can be myths that shroud the facts about how to deal with rodents, so let’s dispel some of the more common myths about rodent control….
Myth 1: All you need is a cat to take care of rodent population.
Fact: Cats do love to hunt and often will get rodents, but they are not always fast enough to combat the escape the efforts of the small and fast mice or rats. Cats and dogs could even attract more rodents, and these rodents will often feed right from your pet’s food bowl, leaving them vulnerable to disease.
Myth 2: You can prevent rodents by keeping your home clean.
Fact: Sanitation isn’t enough simply because rodents can survive for awhile with no food. Keeping your home clean does make it harder for rodents to come and infest in large numbers, however. Keeping your home clean and sanitized will be very effective when used in combination with bait and other pest control means. Anything that reduces a food source for rodents will make them easier to control.
Myth 3: Cheese is the best bait to catch mice.
Fact: Cheese can work to draw in rodents, but it’s not nearly as alluring for these pests as film and TV has made it out to be. Seeds or fruit is much more enticing for mice, and many pest control experts will use peanut butter. In dry climates, the best bait for rodents is something moist, as they draw a lot of their water from their food source.
Myth 4: The worst thing a rodent can do is chew.
Fact: They DO chew and as they do, they leave disease and feces, causing danger to humans. While no homeowner wants to think of rodents gnawing and chewing through his house, preventing rodent borne disease is key when approaching pest control.

When it comes to pest control Myrtle Beach and rodents, it’s best to get the help of a professional pest control company. They will know how to set traps and find the rodents and then get rid of them safely and effectively.
Pest Control And Prevention Against Rodents And Mice
One of the most common reasons for pest control and prevention is rodents and mice. These house pests are more than just signs of filthiness; they are also carriers of deadly diseases. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that there are more than 35 diseases that rats could easily spread around the house. These include Hepatitis, Salmonella poisoning, Meningitis, and deadly viruses.
Because these diseases are primarily spread and transferred by rodents, the easiest way to protect your family from these deadly diseases is to eliminate and prevent rats and mice from entering and living inside your house. Indeed, effective pest management and prevention methods are necessary not only to keep your house clean and sanitized but also to protect your family’s health.
On the other hand, it is not only spreading diseases that rodents can do. They can also cause damage to your property, particularly chewing on your walls and furniture. They can also chew through your electrical wires, which can result to fires and structural damage that can be costly and time consuming.
Effective rodent pest control strategies
Rodents are generally not that difficult to eliminate from your home. You just have to be brave enough to get near them and trap them. Pest management professionals like Zap Pest Control suggest the following easy and effective methods for removing rodents from inside your house.
1. Seal the pests out – The first thing you should do is to seal all opening and holes around your house. If you see an opening, you can be sure that this is what those rats and mice use to enter your home. Note that these types of pests can twist and shrink their bodies to fit through even the smallest of holes and openings.
Take a walk around your house and look for gaps, holes, and openings. This can be found on the ground, in your walls, and around your doors and windows. When you see an opening, no matter how big or small it is, you need to seal it tightly. Pest control specialist suggest using a stuffing material that rats and mice do not like. And that is steel wool. Secure the steel wool in the hole by adding caulk. This will also make sure the hole is tightly sealed and that there is no small opening left that mice and rats can chew on to make it bigger and grant them access to your home.
For larger holes and openings, you can use lath screening or metal sheeting. Rats and mice do not like to chew on these materials so these will surely prevent them from entering your home. If you want to completely seal the opening, you can opt to use cement.
2. Keep your house clean – The number one reason why rodents come to your house is because they can sense food source inside. These can be anywhere throughout the house from a disorganized pantry to spills and crumbs left on the floor and on the counters. Be sure to keep your house clean at all times, especially at night before you go to bed. Keep in mind that rodents like to scour around your house to find food and water during the night when they would least likely be detected.
Start with cleaning your kitchen cabinets, shelves and counters. Make sure there are no food crumbs and spills left to dry on the shelves and counters. Leftover food should be placed in tightly sealed containers, particularly half finished bags of chips, opened bags of cereals, flour and spices. Enlist the help of the entire family and remind them not to eat or bring food inside their bedrooms. If possible, try not to eat in the living room as well. Restricting food debris and spills in one area of the house – specifically in the kitchen and/or in the dining room – will make it easier for you to keep the house clean and rodent free.
3. Place approved rodent baits – If you suspect or have confirmed rodent presence in your house, you will need to place approved rodent baits all throughout the house. The best areas to place the baits are where they will most likely be hanging around. These are in your kitchen, particularly inside the kitchen cabinets and near the door to your pantry.
Before placing rodent baits, you must ensure that the baits you are using are approved. Seek professional advice from pest control experts to be sure you are using the right and effective types of baits to use against rodents.
4. Place traps throughout the house – Aside from baits, you can also opt to place traps. These are another great strategy to catch the rodents. While baits will poison and kill the rats, traps catch them instantly. What happens with baits is they bring the poisoned baits to their home where they would eat it with their family, where they would all get poisoned and die at once. The problem with this is that it would be difficult for you to find their hiding place if they die there from eating the poisoned baits. You will know only where they are hiding when they start to rot and smell.
The difference with traps is they instantly get caught inside the cage and you could either bring them to your local pest control center to be disposed of properly or you can call in your pest management company to dispose the trapped rodent and inspect the house for more rodents. You can also use glue traps to trap smaller mice. For larger rats, the best rat trap to use is snap traps. For best results, seek professional advice from the experts.
Always work with licensed and trained pest control professionals to ensure your house and family are protected from the dangers brought by rodents and other pests. Call Zap Pest Control Inc. now to speak with one of our trained professionals.

This August 1922 photo from the NW shows the still vegetation-free summit of Kelud volcano following the powerful May 1919 eruption and the relatively mild December 1920 eruption. The 1919 eruption produced devastating pyroclastic flows and lahars that killed over 5,110 people. This prompted an engineering project to construct tunnels to lower the level of the crater lake, which was completed in 1926. A milder explosive eruption in 1920 was accompanied by extrusion of a small lava dome beneath the crater lake.

Not a single developer can live without using StackOverflow, almost daily 🙂, but should you care about building your reputation points on it? .. and how?
What is Reputation?
As per the official StackOverflow description for the reputation
Reputation is a rough measurement of how much the community trusts you; it is earned by convincing your peers that you know what you’re talking about. The more reputation you earn, the more privileges you gain and the more tools you’ll have access to on the site – at the highest privilege levels, you’ll have access to many of the same tools available to the site moderators. That is intentional. We don’t run this site; the community does!
The Why part
Well, it is a reputation, which tells a lot about you, like:
- How much the community trusts you
- How you are willing to give the community back
- Which specific set of technologies/frameworks are you interested in
- Which specific tag you got most of your reputation in (which is probably the most important thing)
- And even the way you communicate your thoughts in writing the answers, and how clear and concise are you
The How part
First let’s see what actions can give you the reputation points:
- question is voted up: +10
- answer is voted up: +10
- answer is marked “accepted”: +15 (+2 to acceptor)
- suggested edit is accepted: +2 (up to +1000 total per user) (when you get the privilege of reviewing/accepting other edits, you won’t get these points anymore)
- bounty related points (It is a rare thing, so let’s not focus on it)
but be careful, because you could also lose reputation when:
- your question is voted down: −2
- your answer is voted down: −2
- you vote down an answer: −1
- you place a bounty on a question: − full bounty amount
- one of your posts receives 6 spam or offensive flags: −100
Now concerning the strategy of getting the points, there are different types of people:
- The Legends
- The Moderator-like
- The Lucky
- The Addict
- The Hustler
- The Genuine (which is my way)
The Moderator-like characters are like the pillars for the whole community, they keep it organized, they review every report/flag in there, & they care about moderating StackOverflow way more than just getting the reputation points, although they get a lot of points too 🙂.
The Lucky ones are the ones who got a ton of reputation on a simple questions like pupeno got 120k reputation from a single line question asking about the difference between “git fetch” & “git pull” .. yes that is it 🙈.
The Addict character is the person who opens StackOverflow almost everyday, seeking new questions in the fields he know, hoping he would be the first one to answer, which would give his answer a better opportunity in getting accepted or getting more up-votes, he is basically addicted to getting more and more reputation everyday.
They can even go all the way, doing every activity mentioned in this paper “Building Reputation in StackOverflow: An Empirical Investigation” like:
- answering questions related to tags with lower expertise density
- answering questions promptly
- being the first one to answer a question
- being active during off peak hours
- contributing to diverse areas
The Hustler is another addict character but his moral compass is not pointing north (If you know what I mean). This character will down vote rival answers no matter how better they are, just to give his answer the better exposure. The Character would also copy other answers with some slight modifications, just to get some up-votes out of it … Simply, Don’t be a Hustler.
The Genuine character, which is how I like doing things in an authentic way. For me this is the perfect balance between being passive (who doesn’t care about helping community) and being an addict (who wastes his/her own time contributing a lot in mostly an artificial way). For example, when I’m having a problem that I’m searching for its solution, I always keep an eye for all questions I find about this problem, specially the ones with poor answers or no answers at all, & when I find the perfect solution, here comes my time to add what I just found as an answer for all these related questions (whenever possible).
My genuine contributions led me to near 7K reputation points till now (2020), by just contributing when it is needed. The only problem with this approach is how to start, and how to be patient?!
My advice about how to start is as follows:
- Don’t be afraid to write a question or an answer, this is the only way you can get started
- Keep an eye on the badges section of your profile, because it is designed to let you track the badges that will help you familiarize yourself with the community & how contributions are being made, like the badge for making a certain number of up-votes, or the other one for up-voting questions more than answers and so on
- Keep an eye for questions you searched for, but didn’t like their answers, no matter how old they are, and no matter how many answers they have already, just give your own answer that you think it is better than the others
- Keep your questions/answers very clear, short and to the point, and use visual aids whenever possible
- Familiarize your self with the Markdown language, which will help you write better questions/answers on StackOverflow, & even on Github
- I was making a chrome-extension where I needed to send a request to my server, it is easy to do it with jQuery’s
- I had a problem that my node server wasn’t logging the time for its error logs, I searched and reached this question about “How to add dates to pm2 error logs?” but the answer I found was a small one with no details whatsoever on how should this line work!
so, I searched through the library’s github repo & started digging until I found the exact issue & the exact commit where the logging feature was added to the library, so I added my own answer so I can add the needed details:
and the answer not only got accepted, but got 88 up-votes till now and counting 😎
- StackOverflow reputation is important for your career & personal branding.
- Don’t be afraid to ask a question or write an answer
- Be a Genuine contributor .. not a Hustler
- Contribute to the community, & it will trust you with reputation points 🙂 | <urn:uuid:bac4c6c5-9ea8-4301-affb-2791111899f8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://abdelhady.net/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.953734 | 1,609 | 1.765625 | 2 |
If you already have a pet ferret, or you are considering getting one, you may want to know as much about these fascinating animals as possible. This article offers you some fun and interesting ferret facts.
1. Ferrets and Hunting
Although ferrets are relatively uncommon as pets and are considered to be “exotic”, in fact they have been domesticated for around 2000 years. Hunters would keep ferrets in cages or pouches as they traveled around to assist them in catching rabbits. When the hunter found a rabbit hole, he would let the ferret go inside and then wait for the rabbit to emerge so that he could shoot it. This practice is still carried out today, but now it is a sport rather than for food purposes.
2. Ferrets As Pets
Ferrets are now becoming popular as pets because they are very clever, sociable and easy to train. Like a cat, a ferret can learn to use a litter tray or litter box, and they are fun to watch and interact with.
3. Ferrets As Workers
It is a fascinating fact that ferrets have been used for various working purposes other than hunting vermin. One of their uses is to run wires, and high profile organizations such as Boeing and even the British Royal Family have required their services from time to time.
4. Ferrets And Sleeping
It is a fact that ferrets love to sleep and spend the majority of their day napping. When the sun goes down, they wake up and start to become active.
5. Ferret Lifespan
A ferret can live for anything between 5 and 10 years if allowed to live out its natural lifespan. They have a longer lifespan compare to rabbits.
6. Ferrets And Smell
Like skunks, ferrets are able to release an unpleasant odor if disturbed or panicked. Luckily, this smell is not as strong as that of a skunk. | <urn:uuid:62ec1d9d-1c58-45f5-a66e-142ce8f446ed> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.theferretden.com/facts-about-ferret-as-pet/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.969476 | 396 | 2.796875 | 3 |
No treatment to cure of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is available. Regenerative medicine is one of promising areas for this intractable disease. Several reagents and growth factors are known to promote lung regeneration in small animal models. However, regenerative medicines for human lungs are not achieved yet. Recent advances in stem cell biology and tissue engineering have expanded our understanding of lung endogenous stem cells, and this new knowledge provides us with new ideas for future regenerative therapy for lung diseases. Although lungs are the most challenging organ for regenerative medicine, our cumulative knowledge of lung regeneration and of endogenous progenitor cells makes clear the possibilities for regenerative approach to COPD.

Help you Start & Market Your Business
As marketing evolves to meet the needs of changing technology and consumer habits, you're business must evolve as well.
Let us take your business ideas and make them into reality. We have courses to do it yourself or you can sit back and leave it to the Professionals.
Why do you need Credit?
Like it or not, there’s a definite need to establish credit responsibly in order to achieve your dreams and purchase things you want. You need credit so you can:
Buy a dream home. This means getting approved for a mortgage (unless you plan to save up hundreds of thousands of dollars). Until that day, you’ll still need good credit to be approved to rent a decent apartment.
Get better insurance rates. Insurance companies consider your credit rating in determining your premiums.
Receive an upgraded education, which usually means applying for student loans or financial aid that will need to be paid off after you graduate.
Invest in your future so you’ll have a better chance of success. If you want to invest in real estate as part of your retirement income later or start a business so you don’t have to work for someone else your whole life, you need to establish a good history of using credit.
Business Marketing Course
Why is Marketing so important for your business?
Marketing informs your customers about the products or services you’re offering them. It will even help you get employees.
Through marketing, the customers get to know about the value of the products, their usage, and additional info that might be helpful to the customers. It creates brand awareness and makes the business stand out.
There’s stiff competition in the market and you need to be a constant voice to convince the customers. Inform your customers of discounts and other competitive tricks you intend to use.
Through communication, marketing helps your business become a market leader.
What is Business Credit?
Just like you have a personal credit score, your business also has a credit score. Business credit is a track record of a business’s financial responsibility that companies, investors, or financial organizations use to determine whether or not that business is a good candidate to lend money to or do business with.
There are a number of agencies that calculate business credit, and each agency has a different calculation method, but typically this is a ranking from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the lower your calculated risk. Maintaining a score of 80 or higher is a good rule of thumb.
Common factors that impact your business credit are public records, such as liens or bankruptcies, credit, such as outstanding balances and payment habits, and demographic information, such as business size and years on file.
Why is Business Credit Important?
Strong business credit can help you grow your business. Many banks, investors, and companies rely on your business creditworthiness when setting loan terms, determining insurance premiums, increasing lines of credit, or considering you as a viable partner.
According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), insufficient or delayed financing is the second most common reason for business failure. Because anyone can view your business credit score—it’s not confidential—it’s important to establish business credit from the start to receive better interest rates, loan terms, and negotiation leverage on payment periods with suppliers.
As a small business owner, separating personal credit and business credit is also important. Think of your business credit as a wall dividing your business decisions from your personal credit history. Rather than being linked to your name and Social Security number, business credit is linked to your business entity and separate Tax ID number.
This separation can remove potential funding obstacles that could prevent your business from growing. Likewise, it limits your personal liability while running a company—in the event, your business went under, your personal credit would be protected. | <urn:uuid:669e21e4-70bf-4ea4-aecf-5e67a8dfcd77> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ybetv.org/shop | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.951431 | 803 | 1.617188 | 2 |

Thelonious Monk - The Complete Albums Collection 1954 - 1957 - 5CD
Monk started playing the piano at the age of six. Although largely self-taught, he studied music theory, harmony, and arranging at the Juilliard School of Music. However, he soon moved into jazz, claimed his first residency as house pianist at Milton's Playhouse, Manhattan, during the early to mid-1940s. Much of Monk's style was developed during his time at Minton's, when he participated in after-hours cutting competitions which featured many leading jazz soloists of the time. The Minton's scene was crucial in the formulation of bebop and it brought Monk into close contact with other leading exponents of the emerging idiom.
In 1944 Monk made his first studio recordings with the Coleman Hawkins Quartet. Hawkins was one of the earliest established jazz musicians to promote Monk, and Monk later returned the favour by inviting Hawkins to join him on the 1957 session with John Coltrane. Monk made his first recordings as leader for Blue Note in 1947 which showcased his talents as a composer of original melodies for improvisation. Monk spent most of the early and mid-1950s composing, recording, and performing at theatres and out-of-town gigs. After his cycle of intermittent recording sessions for Blue Note during 1947-1952, he was under contract to Prestige Records for the following two years.
With Prestige he cut several highly significant, but at the time under-recognized, albums, including collaborations with saxophonist Sonny Rollins and drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach. In 1954, Monk participated in a Christmas Eve session which produced most of the albums Bags' Groove and Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants. Davis found Monk's idiosyncratic accompaniment style difficult to improvise over and asked him to lay out (not accompany), which almost brought them to blows. However Davis, in his autobiogrpahy, claims that the anger and tension between Monk and himself never took place and that the claims of blows being exchanged were rumours and a misunderstanding. | <urn:uuid:6405631f-dbd8-4cf3-bcd9-7a4270ddffd9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://encorerecords.ca/products/thelonious-monk-the-complete-albums-collection-1954-1957-5cd | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.983822 | 434 | 2.125 | 2 |
Here is a compilation of some self-knowledge. I aim to share what I learn about myself so that those who want to relate with me have a better understanding of how.
NOTE: is page is very work in progress - lots more to add and organize!
Personal Growth Edges
SLOWING THE F DOWN
- Bringing my voice forward in groups
- Public speaking
- Speaking from my heart
- Maintaining eye contact while speaking
- Maintaining presence in conversation
- Cultivating curiosity about another’s experience
Decolonization / anti-racism work
Completing things I started. Not giving up when things get hard.
Cultivating personal sovereignty
Coming back to my center
Listening to my intuition and speaking truth from that place compassionately
Moving more slowly
Healing core wounds around
Anxiety from pressures of expectation by community / society
Disempowerment, guilt and shame from bullying, late bloomer
Desire to control
- Overly critical of self and others
- Hyper-vigilance, panic, worry, hurriedness, urgency, anxiety, over-protectiveness, over-reactivity, difficulty slowing down
- During the “workday” it’s hard for me to maintain presence, patience, connection
Drive for acceptance by way of perfection
- I feel like I must do more to make up for who I am
- Judging oneself and one another harshly
Drive for security
- Obsession with social approval to make up for lack of self-approval / lack of perceived safety
- Drive for upward mobility
- People pleasing
- Wanting to get/do it right
Sense of otherness and not belonging
- Not belonging, not being inherently desired or connected, no right to exist.
- Sense that one is never authentically or fully part of the group
Sense of powerlessness
- Fear - assumption that bad things will happen
- Feeling like a victim, personally or collectively
- Inferiority complex
- Relating to my self, my nature, my body as inferior
- Denying my true self
- The inherited pattern of vigilance paired with a sustained readiness to leave at any moment impacts my current capacity to stay put. For example, I notice in myself a reluctance to commit to romantic relationships and close friendships.
- I pay close attention to and catalogue all the ways I feel unmet. I might feel committed to a relationship for now but, consciously or unconsciously,
- Always preparing to leave
- The place I live, my work, or my community are almost always “just for now.”
- I will withdraw deep inside myself to protect my last shred of sovereign territory and, in a last act of autonomy, turn my will against my to suppress his own desire to act and even to express himself. I will hunker down and limit my opposition to “You can’t make me.”
- Focused on the forms and rules of life and loses touch with life’s essence and substance. I tend to experience the world indirectly, through words, rather than directly through sensations and feelings. Rules replace personal feelings in my decision making process. I may use language well and become a terrific performer, but for me, doing has replaced being, and the map has replaced the territory. In new situations, my plea will be, “Tell me the rules,” because without the rules, I have no way to navigate.
- When extra energy hits my system, I will attempt to contain it so that it doesn’t really affect me and interfere with my performance. Instead of allowing it to emotionally move me, I will shunt the energy into activity — I will get busy and do something.
Tendency to nod head and smile

Arm or face twitching
Coping Mechanisms include over and unconscious snacking and screen usage

Following is an excerpt from a TV report on Syrian President Bashar Al-Assas honoring released terrorist Samir Al-Kuntar, which aired on Syrian TV on November 24, 2008:
Anchor: President Bashar Al-Assad awarded released Lebanese prisoner Samir Al-Kuntar the Syrian decoration of the highest degree, out of appreciation for his record in the struggle, for his steadfastness, and for his patriotic and pan-Arab positions. President Al-Assad, who met with Samir Al-Kuntar and his brother Bassam, said that Al-Kuntar was not only the leader of the prisoners, but was also the leader among honorable free men, and that his adherence to Arab rights, despite all that he has been through, has made him a symbol of the struggle and freedom in Arab countries and throughout the world.

This helps the prisoners to remain steadfast, despite their plight in the prisons of the Israeli occupation. | <urn:uuid:701f1127-6560-4db9-a58b-8dcfd4d4ccb6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.memri.org/tv/syrian-president-bashar-al-assad-decorates-released-terrorist-samir-al-kuntar | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.983049 | 266 | 1.539063 | 2 |

Twitter rolls out new Hovercard feature
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
Twitter has unveiled a new feature that will help users learn more about tweeters without leaving the page they’re on, the company announced in a blog post Wednesday night.
Dubbed Hovercards, the new Twitter feature displays profile information about a particular user whenever a person hovers their mouse over a user name. Each Hovercard displays the person’s name and location. It also gives users the option of following or direct messaging those people without leaving the page.
Hovercards is admittedly a small upgrade. The update will make it easier for users to learn more about others, but it won’t have a profound effect on how they interact with the popular social network.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos compared the abortion rights debate to the battle to eliminate slavery during remarks at a Colorado Christian University event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.
DeVos, a Christian conservative, discussed the Trump administration’s record of opposition to abortion, and said she was reminded of President Abraham Lincoln. “He, too, contended with the ‘pro-choice’ arguments of his day,” she said. “They suggested that a state’s ‘choice’ to be slave or to be free had no moral question in it.”
She said Lincoln reminded “those pro-choicers” that a vast majority of Americans viewed slavery as a vast moral evil. “Lincoln was right about the slavery ‘choice’ then, and he would be right about the life ‘choice’ today,” she said. “Because as it’s been said: Freedom is not about doing what we want. Freedom is about having the right to do what we ought.”
Department officials had said the event at the Museum of the Bible, which included a Q&A session led by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, was closed to press coverage. However, a reporter for the Colorado Times Recorder attended and wrote an article first reporting the DeVos remarks.
Students from the university are in the nation’s capital for the annual March for Life on Friday that protests the legalization of abortion.
Last week, DeVos was in attendance as President Donald Trump in his effort to court evangelicals rolled out new guidance on prayers in schools and a proposed Department of Education rule protecting the rights of religious student groups at public universities.
DeVos, an avid school choice proponent, also said at the Colorado Christian University gathering there is “irony” in being pro-choice for the mother who seeks an abortion but not for the mother who seeks a different school for her child.
“There are many in the pro-life movement who heroically work to make abortion unconstitutional. Tonight, let’s talk about making it unthinkable,” she said.
In addition, DeVos in her Q&A session with Hewitt said the department’s much-criticized final rule on the Title IX law, which protects students from sexual discrimination or harassment, is coming “soon,” according to the Colorado Times Recorder.
She defended the administration’s efforts to establish a new Title IX framework that is “right and just for all involved,” according to the newspaper.
“We’re very close to a final rule,” DeVos said. “But the goal is to ensure that all students are treated justly and fairly, and we believe that the rule that we will ultimately finalize will be good for all involved.”
Earlier on Wednesday, DeVos had attended oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Espinoza v. the Montana Department of Revenue, a case that could expand the use of public funds to pay for religious schools.
School choice advocates including DeVos hope a ruling in the case will end so-called Blaine Amendments, constitutional provisions in nearly 40 states that bar public funds from being used for religious schools. They note that the amendments were originally enacted to discriminate against Catholics.
“We are especially eager for the Supreme Court to put an end to the ‘last acceptable prejudice’ made manifest in bigoted Blaine Amendments which deny students the freedom to pursue faith-based education,” she said, according to the remarks. | <urn:uuid:6a68afd9-ef81-4837-9fc0-eaab7348c255> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://defendernetwork.com/news/devos-compares-abortion-rights-debate-to-slavery/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.971137 | 739 | 1.953125 | 2 |
Riopelle a fiery fire, The Awakening of a sculpture
Extract from the documentary “Riopelle a fiery fire, The awakening of a sculpture”
(End of production planned autumn 2014)
The theme of the film is the setting in scene of the bronze cast of a sculpture, a less known aspect of the techniques tackled by Riopelle, a multidisciplinary artist. Located between the art film and the conventional documentary, this short film of about 22 minutes puts in images all the stages of the cast of art as they are practiced nowadays in certain foundries of North America .
The first role of this documentary is held by the sculpture Hibou-Roc created in clay by Jean Paul Riopelle at the turn of 1969 in his workshop located at the foundry Clémenti (France) and immediately converted into plaster with the ultimate aim of seeing it realized in bronze. Finally, this sculpture, among others of the same inspiration and time, will be realized in bronze in 2010 at the Inverness art foundry, the location of the present shoot.
The representation of the owl was chosen more particularly because of the emblematic subject that generated in the artist an important corpus of works in relation to space time through the creations or the many techniques discussed.
The film also aims to document one of the complex techniques of the art of fire, little known or ignored by the public in general.
With the participation of: Madeleine Arbor, pioneer of visual arts, interior design and communication, signatory of Refus global; Gérard Bélanger, painter and sculptor founder of the Inverness Art Foundry; Roseline Granet, sculptor and Yseult Riopelle, author of the Catalog raisonné of Jean Paul Riopelle and editor.

In October, Toronto declared a Climate Emergency - and promised accelerated action to make Toronto zero-carbon by 2050. A first test of the City’s commitment is the 2020 City Budget, which was released last week. Read TEA’s assessment - and find out how to get involved in the budget process.
On January 10, the City of Toronto released its proposed 2020 tax-supported Budget. The Budget comes three months after Council declared a climate emergency - and committed to take strong action to prevent climate breakdown.
The City has announced $5.9 Million in new or enhanced climate-related funding in the 2020 Budget - but they also have areas where they are falling short on the commitments that were made.
The proposed budget includes some positive actions to address the climate emergency including:
- Hiring deferred staff for TransformTO to support new construction standards, the renewable energy strategy, and City building retrofits ($0.80M, 5 new staff).
- Hiring new staff and committing funding to implement the Climate Emergency Declaration.
- Plan for net zero by 2050 or earlier (e.g. develop carbon budget, ensure equity and Indigenous inclusion) ($1.08M, 4 staff).
- Accelerate TransformTO actions (e.g. Green Will initiative to reduce commercial property emissions, Electric Vehicle strategy) ($1.21M, 5 staff).
- Implement resilience strategy (e.g. map flood risks, heat network expansion, neighbourhood resilience ($0.65M, 4 staff).
- Hiring 3 new staff for tree maintenance and tree by-law oversight ($0.22M) and implementing green infrastructure projects that increase tree maintenance and planting ($1.97M).
- Conducting equity impact analysis of TransformTO in the budget process.
- New capital funding for the installation of renewable thermal energy on City buildings ($12.3M) and low-interest financing for community energy projects and home energy retrofits ($6.5M).
However, the proposed budget falls short of the urgency needed in some important ways.
1. The proposed budget fails to demonstrate adequate progress in reducing emissions:
To meet its 2030 emission target of 9 megatons/year (Mt), the City needs to reduce emissions by 0.5 Mt annually. However, the only specific emission reduction named in the 2020 Budget is a 0.006 Mt associated with the implementation of the Toronto Green Standard for new buildings. It is important that City Budgets report comprehensively across Divisions program outcomes and expected GHG emission reductions so that the public can assess whether City actions are sufficient to meet emission reduction targets. There is also a lack of clarity in the proposed Budget on climate program deliverables. For example, it is unclear whether this budget will deliver an increased number of residential energy retrofits in 2020 - something that is clearly needed. (City loan programs have led to the completion of only 187 single-family home retrofits and 2,200 multi-residential building unit retrofits over the past five years, a mere 0.05% of all single-family homes in Toronto and only 0.3% of Toronto’s apartment units.)
2. The proposed budget lacks adequate investment in climate action:
Even with the increase in funding, Toronto’s climate spending is still inadequate:
- Operating budget spending on the climate emergency is well below that of other cities (Toronto’s proposed operating budget for TransformTO in 2020, estimated at $18M, works out to about $7 per resident; Vancouver’s $48M operating budget for climate action translates into $80 per resident).
- Ten-year capital spending for climate-related actions in the Energy and Environment Division budget is 27% lower than last year. Capital spending on climate ($150M over 10 years) is tiny compared with spending on the Gardiner expressway ($2.2B) and repairing roads ($2B). It also falls far short of the City investment of $2B a year called for to achieve an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050.
- Only 0.2% ($1.7 M) of City’s Fleet Services capital spending for the next 10 years is dedicated to the Green Fleet Plan, which prioritizes buying electric and other low-carbon vehicles, despite $9.3M being needed over the next three years.
- Only 1% of Parks, Forestry & Recreation’s capital budget in the next 10 years is dedicated for enhanced climate resiliency funding to deal with the impacts of extreme weather events, all of which is paying for past storms (2017-2019).
- Proposed reductions to staffing levels in Social Development Finance and Administration, Children’s Services, and Public Health and large funding gaps for needed TTC improvements and TCHC repairs are deeply concerning given the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable and equity-seeking populations.
3) The following Climate Emergency actions are not currently included in the proposed Budget - and should be added:
Expansion of energy retrofits
- Clear commitment of funding to ramp up the pace of single-family and multi-residential building retrofits (e.g. increased financial incentives and new policies such as home energy labelling).
- Identify, and include funding for, the number of residential and commercial building energy retrofits that will be completed in 2020 and beyond (e.g. Green Will, HiRIS and HELP) in order to meet City emission reduction targets.
- Transit improvements and fare reductions
- Expansion of access to discounted transit fares (Fair Fare pass) to a further 190,000 low-income riders as promised in March 2020, is delayed until 2021.
- Clear timeline or funding for delivery of dedicated bus lanes on Eglinton, Dufferin, Jane, Steeles, and Finch.
- Order of 60 new streetcars needed by 2022 to ensure the future viability of transit.
Protected Bike Lanes
- Capital funding to accelerate the implementation of the City's bike plan so that it is completed in 2030.
- Increase spending for climate resilience in 2020 and over the next 10 years (including the ravine strategy and litter clean-up).
- Fund and implement a process to assess and report to the public on climate impacts of major City decisions, including financial decisions.
Establishment of dedicated climate fund:
- There is no mention of the City’s commitment to develop a dedicated climate action fund in the budget, or any mention of potential revenue sources (e.g. parking levy, congestion charge) which were supported by the TransformTO Reference Panel - to help fund climate action.
The Toronto Environmental Alliance is continuing to analyze and monitor the City Budget. This page will be updated with new analysis.

Crawling and indexing are two distinct things in the SEO industry.
How do search engines
If your backlinks can’t be found by Search Engine bots, then there’s no way you’ll ever Rank
Why Crawling is important
Crawling is the discovery process in which search engines send out a team of robots (known as crawlers or spiders) to find new and updated content. Content can vary — it could be a webpage, an image, a video, a PDF, etc. — but regardless of the format, content is discovered by links.
The bot starts out by fetching a few web pages and then follows the links on those webpages to find new URLs. By hopping along this path of links, crawlers are able to find new content and add it to their index — a massive database of discovered URLs — to later be retrieved when a searcher is seeking information that the content on that URL is a good match for. – MOZ –
If your backlinks can’t be found by Search Engine bots, then there’s no way you’ll ever Rank your Moneysites in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page).

Some SEO Facts
Off Page SEO
Backlinks still remain one of the most important Google ranking factors. Start by crawling your backlinks in order to notify search engines for their existence.
Ever since the introduction of Google Search in 1997, Google has dominated the search engine market, maintaining an 90% market share as of January 2019.
90% of Internet users never scroll past the first page of search results, which means you’ll need to get on that first page to capture people’s attention. One of the best ways to do this is by coming up with a strong Link Profile visible by Google.
99% of the websites have at least one external link. External links lead to pages outside a website and they help search engines identify important keywords. SE bots follow those links and discover other pages.

FDA Warns of Erections from Methylphenidate Use
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about a serious potential side effect of methylphenidate products (e.g. Ritalin, Concerta, and Daytrana) used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). | <urn:uuid:9b5722e5-c816-4d5d-be76-e6fa426eb489> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://rxwiki.com/articles/news_story/field_medications/concerta-409/field_medications/quillivant-xr-1378 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.895994 | 95 | 1.6875 | 2 |
Like many modern-day medicines, rodenticides are often derived from natural sources. Plants may evolve toxic chemicals to protect them from grazers for example, and sometimes all that distinguishes a beneficial drug from a toxic poison is the dosage.
In a recent issue of the NZ Journal of Zoology, Charles Eason, ecologist with Lincoln University (Lincoln) and the Cawthron Institute (Nelson), looks at the connections between naturally derived rodenticides and drugs. It’s a fascinating review.
Did you know, for example, that natural products have inspired 60% of today’s drugs and biocides, including rodenticides. Warfarin was one of the earliest anticoagulant rodenticides, introduced in 1947. Before newer synthetic oral anticoagulants were developed, warfarin was also the ‘medicine of choice’ for an estimated 1% of the population and 8% of over-80-year-olds.
Doctors prescribing rat poison? It’s all about the dosage – as Paracelsus figured out as long ago as the 16th Century, stating: ‘Solely the dose determines that a thing is or is not a poison’.
Warfarin and brodifacoum (now the most widely used rodenticide worldwide) are related to a naturally occurring substance – coumarin – discovered when scientists back in the 1930s investigated the causes of haemorrhagic syndrome in cattle that had eaten mouldy sweet clover.
“Research funded by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (ie WARF), led to exploration of dicoumarol and coumarin derivatives between 1946 and 1948. Warfarin, number 42 out of a total of 150 synthesised analogues, was particularly active and became a successful rodenticide.”
When warfarin was first proposed as a medicine, it’s history as a poison caused some understandable concerns, but that didn’t stop US President Eisenhower being one of it’s early recipients.
Cholecalciferol is another medicine/rat poison – and again it’s the dosage that makes the difference. Cholecalciferol is, in fact, vitamin D3 and deficiencies in the compound can cause ill-health, including rickets. It’s also a common treatment for osteoporosis. But at very high dosages it’s toxic and it is registered for possum and rat control in New Zealand.
“At toxic doses, this active metabolite mobilises calcium stores from bones into the bloodstream, and decreases calcium excretion by the kidneys to such an extent that rodents receiving a lethal dose usually die within 4-7 days as a result of hypercalcaemia, tissue calcification and renal or cardiac failure.”
Cholecalciferol has some advantages as well.
“For example, cholecalciferol is far less toxic to birds than rodents.”
So what about 1080? Fluoroacetate is another toxic agent produced by plants to deter grazers? Could it have medical benefits yet to be discovered? It turns out that 1080 may have potential uses in the detection and treatment of some cancers.
“Fluoroacetate has been identified as the toxic agent in many poisonous plants native to South America, as well as Africa and some 40 plant species in Australia. In relation to sodium fluoroacetate (1080) use for the control of unwanted introduced animals in New Zealand, research has focused on mode of action, sub-lethal effects, welfare, reducing its risk to non-target species and fate in the environment following use in baits. Toxicology studies have determined that the mechanism of toxicity for naturally occurring fluoroacetate and for 1080 in bait is the same. Both forms are equally poisonous.”
In fact, fluoroacetate may be more widespread in the plant kingdom than we realise.
“… Fluoroacetate occurs at extremely low concentrations in some Finnish plants, in tea leaves and guar gum. Research testing 10 common varieties of tea available in New Zealand showed fluoroacetate concentrations of 0.4-2.4 ng/cup.”
So what about its medical potential?
“Recently, sodium fluoroacetate has been explored for experimental use in radiology and metabolic/molecular imaging using positron emission tomography emitters, which is a growth area in radiology for cancer imaging… the amounts required for diagnostic imaging are extremely small and similar to those that might be ingested in tea.”
On a historical note – utilising ‘poisons’ for medical benefits is certainly nothing new. Strychnine (found in the seeds of the tree Strychnos nux-vomica), was not only a rat poison (used since mid-1800s), but also used in the late 19th Century as an athletic performance-enhancing drug. In the early 20th Century, it was also used in low doses as a tonic. It’s inhumaneness and persistence in the environment, has, however led to it being phased out as a vertebrate poison in modern-day New Zealand.
Research continues to discover what other useful compounds might have already been invented by plants.
“At the Cawthron Institute, in Nelson, New Zealand, natural compounds are being evaluated from marine organisms, including shellfish and seaweeds and a unique collection of over 300 micro-algae, and while some of these compounds have medical applications, some are potential biocides and vertebrate pesticides of the future. Portimine is one example of a natural marine compound that has unique anticancer properties and is also being explored as a biocide.”
What’s more, some potential rodenticides are highly potent.
“Their potency means that very small amounts would be used in baits; hence taste avoidance and bait shyness, which occur with many rodenticides, would be unlikely. This could be particularly helpful when developing rodenticides effective for the control of mice, which are easily deterred from eating baits, and compared with rats are more susceptible to anticoagulants.”

Storytelling, passed down from generation to generation, is integral to Australia’s history—from its earliest inhabitants to the killer beats and exuberant instrumentation of today’s hip-hop. To better surface First Nations (Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander) voices, Spotify is inviting aspiring First Nations storytellers across Australia to apply for the Sound Up Bootcamp four-day residential podcasting workshop in Sydney from November 26 to 29.
The third installment of our global Sound Up Bootcamp initiative, Sound Up Bootcamp Australia gives fresh talent a creative platform to share their work with the widest possible audience.
First Nations artists have long been on our radar; this year we’ve created and promoted a number of First Nations playlists, including Black Australia, Deadly Beats, and Original Storytellers. We’ve also formed partnerships with Barunga Festival and the National Indigenous Music Awards, where Baker Boy was recently awarded a Spotify studio grant following his Best New Artist award win.
The Australia program follows Spotify’s Sound Up Bootcamp US (which received more than 18,000 applications) and the recently announced Sound Up Bootcamp UK. The US program was successful in “stimulating amazing ideas and facilitating a truly unique and important community of aspiring women of colour podcasters,” says Jane Huxley, Managing Director, of Spotify Australia and New Zealand.
“What Spotify is offering through Sound Up is a hugely exciting opportunity for First Nations producers and storytellers. The podcasting medium in Australia continues to experience massive growth and now is an ideal time for the voices and stories of Indigenous Australia to find their place within the audio landscape,” says Emily Nicol, an Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander radio producer and the curator of Spotify’s flagship First Nations playlist Black Australia. Emily will facilitate the program in conjunction with Audiocraft, a leading Australian podcast organization.
Sound Up Bootcamp Australia will walk participants through the process of podcast creation—turning an idea into a story arc, finding their voice, learning about their audience, and skilling up on recording techniques. Applicants don’t need to have any prior podcasting experience—just something to say, a passion for the medium, and an eagerness to bring their great ideas to life. Attendees will also receive mentoring and networking opportunities with well-known podcasters and radio greats who also identify as First Nations people.
From the pool of applicants, 10 individuals will be chosen to participate in the program. Those selected will receive a round-trip flight to Sydney and accommodation for the duration of the bootcamp if they reside outside of Sydney, and the opportunity to spend four days at Spotify Australia’s headquarters. Three finalists will leave the program with a cash grant, podcast production equipment, and extended mentorship opportunities.

Unisource Energy is licensed by Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) license number EPRA/EAF/00035 to offer Energy Audits. Also, we offer audits on behalf of Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM)
What is Energy Audit?
An Energy Audit is the assessment of a process, building or equipment to assess the amount of energy utilized & exploring opportunities for energy saving without affecting the output or comfort. In Kenya, conducting energy audits help facilities that consume at least 15,000kWh per month to comply with the Energy Management Regulations_ 2012
Why Energy Audit?
Energy Audit Helps in:
- Verifying whether the Amount of Energy Consumed corresponds to the bills charged by the Utility Company (KPLC)
- Establishing the Energy Index for your facility (Energy Consumed/unit production(occupancy)
- Identify any electrical leakages/losses
- Determining possible problems/malfunctioning, in order to avoid power peaks (demand charges) and other situations of energy waste
- Lower Electricity Bills. Through energy audits, you can drive your energy costs down drastically.
- Environmental Impact. When your facility consumes less energy, you are reducing your carbon footprint and helping to decrease unnecessary waste and pollution
We Offer the Following Types of Audits
Energy billing patterns are analyzed for relevant penalties or fixed rates. Amperage, voltage, power factor & KWh on motors are measured. We carry out thermographic analysis of the electrical cables, panels and motors to determine any instances of overheating. Actual running hours per batch or per hour out puts are observed. Illumination levels, refrigeration load & compressed air system are evaluated for house-keeping measures. Electrical energy balance is prepared with norms for each product. Based on the energy losses & percentage loading of rotating equipment, energy conservation measures are presented with techno economic analysis. The energy saving areas normally identified are : compression / illumination loads, derating of blowers / fans, control mechanism, application of motor controllers, sizing of pumps, tariffs and time-of-use benefits, and demand management amongst others.
We help in determining efficiencies of generation, distribution & Utilisation of thermal energies. Boiler efficiency tests are carried out to determine steam generation to fuel ratio. Steam traps are analyzed to determine their efficiencies. Condensates coming from coil, jackets, and evaporators are collected to arrive at norms for each operation. Exhausts of furnaces, boilers are quantified by analyzing them with our set of equipment. Fixed heating load, start up load & insulation losses are determined. Based on the energy losses identified in the thermal energy balance, energy conservation measures are presented with techno economic analysis. The energy saving areas normally identified are: Improvement in steam / power generation efficiency, house-keeping measures, waste heat recovery, optimal choice of fuel, process optimization etc. Time bound implementation programs are drawn with company manager. | <urn:uuid:b2e10fb6-2b47-49d9-82f2-a31e5a4e6758> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.unisourceenergy.co.ke/energy-audits-kenya/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.884508 | 610 | 2.46875 | 2 |
How To: Fix Tooltips hide behind taskbar
Applies to: Microsoft Windows XP
Tooltips for system tray (notification area) icons and task bar buttons start showing behind the taskbar so they are hidden or only partially visible.
This appears to be a bug in Windows. It's caused by a conflict between windows that want to be the topmost window (in other words, appear in front of everything else.) Tooltips always want to be topmost, but if you have the Taskbar property "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" selected, then so does the taskbar. Sometimes the messages that make the windows topmost arrive in the wrong order, so the taskbar sticks in front of the tooltips.
There is no known solution to this problem. It is caused by a bug in Windows. None of the "fixes" found elsewhere on the Internet actually work.
There are some workarounds:
- Avoid using the Show Desktop shortcut (Windows+D) as this often causes the problem to occur. Use Minimize All Windows (Windows+M) instead.
- Don't use "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows". Right-click the taskbar, select properties, clear the check box for this option and then click OK.
- If you prefer to keep the taskbar on top of other windows, then deselecting this option as described above, and then reselecting it again, restores the correct window order and brings the tooltips back to the front, until the next time!
If you do find tooltips are showing behind the taskbar, the key combination Shift+Windows+M may fix the problem. | <urn:uuid:f502cfeb-3330-4fb0-a1a8-119f7e710854> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_018.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.869089 | 352 | 1.96875 | 2 |

Ceres Power (Ceres), a low cost Solid Oxide Fuel Cell company, and Weichai Power (Weichai), one of the leading automobile and equipment manufacturing companies in China, have finalised their long-term strategic collaboration first announced in May 2018.
This includes a Joint Venture Agreement with the commitment to create a fuel cell manufacturing JV in China, a License Agreement to transfer key technology to the JV and a new £9 (USD 11.5m) million joint development agreement. It also triggers a further £28m (USD 36m) equity injection into Ceres Power.
The JV will target the rapidly growing Chinese market opportunity for fuel cells which addresses the decarbonization and air quality needs in the transportation and power generation markets. The bus market in China, along with the commercial vehicle and stationary power markets, create a potential multi-billion dollar market opportunity for the JV.
- A new Joint Development Agreement (JDA) worth £9m to Ceres for the continued development of a first range extender product for electric buses in China.
- A Joint Venture Agreement for Ceres and Weichai to invest in a major new fuel cell manufacturing facility in Shandong, China, following successful trials.
- A License Agreement which will result in significant staged Technology Transfer payments of up to £30m (USD 38.3m), and ongoing future royalties to Ceres.
Weichai will invest a further £28m in Ceres through the exercise of its warrant at 164.5p per share to increase its stake in Ceres from just under 10% to 20%. This brings its total equity investment in Ceres to £48m.
“Establishing manufacturing capability in China with a partner as strong as Weichai will enable our SteelCell technology to benefit from the kind of economies of scale and significantly lower costs we have seen in the solar and battery industries”, said Ceres Power CEO Phil Caldwell.
The fuel cell technology developed by Ceres meets the cost challenge by using steel and conventional manufacturing techniques adopted from the solar industry. Fuel-flexible SteelCell® can generate power from conventional fuels like natural gas and from sustainable fuels like biogas, ethanol or hydrogen at very high efficiency. Made from mass-market and widely available materials, the SteelCell is inherently cost-effective, robust and scalable. It is an ideal technology to tackle air pollution and climate change as it significantly lowers carbon emissions and pollutants, lowers running costs and can enable renewables.
Tan Xuguang, Chairman and CEO of Weichai, said “We see significant commercial potential for using the SteelCell to help us develop cutting edge fuel cell power systems. We look forward to trialing the new range extender and also to developing new products for the transportation and stationary power generation markets in China.”
The strategic collaboration with Weichai includes:
A new Joint Development Agreement (JDA) for £9m following on from the initial JDA which the parties previously signed. This accelerates development of the 30 kW SteelCell® SOFC range extender system using widely available Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), with systems for 10 buses set to be developed and trialed in the next two years. Successful completion of the trials will lead to the JV formation which is anticipated to be in 2020.
Joint Venture and Technology Transfer: Upon successful completion of field trials under the JDA, Weichai and Ceres will establish a Fuel Cell Manufacturing Joint Venture in Shandong Province, China with an initial 51%:49% respective shareholding. Weichai and Ceres will fund pro rata shares of the JV in accordance with an agreed business plan. Weichai will hold three of the five board seats and Ceres will hold two with certain shareholder protection provisions in place.
The JV will manufacture SteelCell® systems, stacks and fuel cells in accordance with the License Agreement after their respective technology transfers from Ceres. The Licence Agreement provides a mixture of exclusive and non-exclusive rights for the commercial vehicle, bus and certain stationary power markets in China. Ceres will be paid up to £30m for the staged programme of Technology Transfer as well as ongoing royalties and future dividend payments.
Equity Investment: Weichai will shortly exercise its warrant at an exercise price of 164.5p per share, investing a further £28m of equity in addition to its previous £20m investment. This increases its shareholding in Ceres from just under 10% to 20%. The use of funds includes investment in Ceres’ core fuel cell business and manufacturing scale up in the UK as well as the initial equity investment in the JV.
In accordance with the existing Relationship Agreement, Weichai has an eighteen-month standstill from May 2018 under which it agrees not to acquire more than 20% of Ceres Power’s issued share capital and includes an eighteen month minimum holding period from December 2018 on the proposed shareholding. Weichai will also nominate a non-executive director to the Board of Ceres Power.
Benefits to Ceres
The agreement provides Ceres with access to the Chinese fuel cell market with one of the leading automotive OEMs with a track record of successful collaborations with international companies. Access to the high growth high volume market and Chinese supply chain enables significant cost down and economies of scale for the SteelCell® technology providing a substantial competitive advantage. The proposed Joint Venture with Weichai provides a staged path to high volume manufacturing of the SteelCell® under licence validating the Ceres business model, which is based on a licence and royalty revenue strategy.
The low-emission public transport market in China represents a major commercial opportunity. This is being driven by the Chinese Government, which is stimulating this sector through subsidies and Zero-Emission Zones, designed to reduce air pollution, carbon emissions, and road noise while increasing public health and lower operating costs. In addition to these benefits and increasing the operational range of electric buses, the Ceres range extender has the advantage of being able to run on widely available fuels such as CNG and does not rely on the roll out of hydrogen infrastructure. This is a significant market opportunity for Weichai which has a wide network of customers in China with sales volumes of c.30,000 buses each year. | <urn:uuid:5503218d-b2f2-47db-aba5-df6a703f3df9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.ngvglobal.com/blog/ceres-power-weichai-collaborate-on-cng-range-extender-for-fcev-buses-1006 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.936798 | 1,286 | 1.585938 | 2 |

We receive many inquiries from customers who want to set up a company to purchase, export, and sell used cars in Japan. In order to obtain and renew a business administration visa, here are some points to keep in mind from the beginning.
Points to keep in mind when establishing a company
When establishing a company, Articles of Incorporation must be prepared. The articles of incorporation should include the head office, trade name, business purpose, stock information (or equity information in the case of a limited liability company), names and addresses of officers, and fiscal year (beginning/ending). Among other things, the purpose of the business must be included for the purpose of obtaining an antique dealer’s license, which is necessary for handling used cars. If the business deals not only in cars, but also in car parts, motorcycles, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, etc., the import, export, sale, and repair of these items may also need to be stated. It is recommended that the business purpose be clearly stated at the establishment stage, as adding it later will incur additional costs.

Alongside the garden’s palm trees, tree ferns and giant gunnera, visitors can discover more about the flora where the land meets the sea.
Plants living on cliffs must withstand the harsh conditions of salty sea spray and drying winds but also benefit from the warmer winter temperatures of a maritime climate.
Several species reach the northern limits of their UK distribution in the Rhins of Galloway and are unlikely to be seen elsewhere in Scotland.
The path project is managed by Dumfries and Galloway Council and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Coastal Communities Fund.
Peter Ross, chairman of the steering group, said: “Alongside the creation of the new coast route we are running a programme of events providing opportunities to find out more about the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Rhins of Galloway.
"We are absolutely delighted that Logan Botanic Garden is hosting this exhibition and would encourage visitors to spend some time at the Coastal Cliffs display – it will make their next w alk on the Rhins Coast even more enjoyable!”
Details of events revealing the wildlife on the Rhins coast will be updated on the Rhins of Galloway Coast Pat page on Facebook.
To accompany the exhibition, a guide to common flowers has been published helping visitors to know their lovage from their samphire.
It can be downloaded by visiting https://dgtrails.org/wildflowers-at-logan-botanic-gardens/
Richard Baines, curator at Logan Botanic Garden, said: “The exhibition highlights the diversity of native flora found in these coastal habitats in Galloway and the photographic display highlights some of the main species found on the newly designated Rhins coastal walk.”
“The newly produced wildflower booklet is an excellent educational tool to aid identification of any unknown species.
"The exhibition also ties in with the native plant area located in the walled garden at Logan which also provides information on the local species.” | <urn:uuid:791fcc22-5de4-4248-a0ec-05f1491b529e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.gallowaygazette.co.uk/education/logan-botantic-garden-shines-a-spotlight-on-coastal-wildflowers-3252331 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.936715 | 416 | 3.40625 | 3 |
Study Rationale: Mutations in PINK1 are linked to familial Parkinson’s disease (PD), but their role in sporadic forms of the disorder are not clear. The PINK1 protein works with PRKN to dispose of damaged mitochondria, structures that produce cellular energy, and failure to remove these impaired mitochondria can harm neurons. Although people with PD likely have altered levels of PINK1 protein, there are currently no sensitive methods for accurately measuring PINK1 in clinical samples from people with PD.
Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that PD patients will have altered PINK1 levels.
Study Design: We will study different antibodies for their ability to sensitively detect PINK1 in samples from cells that naturally have different levels of PINK1, including some that lack the protein entirely. Once we have established the best set of antibodies for detecting PINK1, we will test other conditions to optimize the approach and then use our method to measure PINK1 in clinical samples from people with PD.
Impact on Diagnosis/Treatment of Parkinson’s disease: If successful, this approach could reveal whether people with PD have altered PINK1 levels, which could be contribute to the course of disease. In addition, PINK1 levels could be used as a surrogate biomarker for treatments that might become available in the future.
Next Steps for Development: We will begin by developing this assay for use detecting PINK1 in postmortem brain samples. Developing an assay that could be used to measure PINK1 in clinical samples from living individuals would be ideal. | <urn:uuid:3d4653d5-57a1-459f-99c1-613a892bd763> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.michaeljfox.org/grant/development-and-validation-sensitive-method-measuring-pink | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.954626 | 322 | 2.703125 | 3 |
Join us for a presentation and class by Ekaterina Lukasheva. This workshop features the Utopia origami modular designed by Ekaterina Lukasheva. The modular has distorted pyramids that seem to float separately from the body of the model. Since they are not at the surface, Kate named the module Utopia which can be translated from the Greek as “no place” (ou="not” + topos="place"). In addition to teaching the model, Kate will explain the idea behind the module and how it can be folded from various paper sizes. She will also give a glimpse into her creation process.
The module can be used to create shapes from 3, 6, 12, 30 units (and more). The class will show the construction for 30 or 12 units. The 30-piece model will not be completed during the 2-hour event, but attendees will have the information to complete the model on their own.
Paper recommended for each unit is a 1 x 2 ratio (5cm x 10cm). The preference is for relatively thick paper such as Elephant Hide or Stardream. Tant will also work, but the thicker paper is easier. Constructing the model from kami will not work since it is too thin.
Ekaterina Lukasheva is the author of the book Kusudama Origami. Her second book was recently published in October, 2015 and is called Modern Kusudama Origami.

A general use gift certificate is a type of prepaid plastic or electronic payment device that can be used by consumers in many different types of stores. The amount of the card is usually set at a pre-determined amount, which may be increased over time or reloaded. It is purchased on a prepaid basis by the consumer, and is honored by merchants everywhere.
A gift certificate is an electronic payment device, which has a predetermined value that a recipient may use at any time. In some cases, the card can be loaded with any amount, and in other cases, it can be redeemed for goods or services at any time. A gift certificate is a form of a gift certificate that has the value of money or goods. It may have a fixed expiration date, but it can also be reloaded.
A gift certificate is a written promise to purchase goods or services from a merchant. They are accepted at a single merchant, an affiliated group of merchants, or a variety of unaffiliated merchants. Each gift certificate is issued with a specific prepaid amount and may not be reloaded or increased. A gift certificate is an ideal present for someone who is new to a city or wants to travel.

The FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy is an educational program organised to create a volunteering community around the world, to provide crucial training about university sport to young students across the world by exposing them to the activities of the International University Sport Federation(FISU) and awarding them the position of ambassadorship to further the cause of university sport and to propagate sport values in their respective campuses..
The FVLA is important for African students because it provides an opportunity for interaction, sharing of ideas and networking with our counterparts from other continents. It gives an opportunity to travel and have a cultural exchange with other students but more importantly, it makes us a contributor to the development of collegiate sport as we work with our respective National University Sport Federation.
Some of the previous participants of the academy shared their favorite moment(s) and what the academy means for African students.
Mohammed Halim Ghana
“When we joined the breakout session to share our thoughts in groups about the online session and how the feeling was like. I happened to be in group 4 and I was surprised everyone was expressing exactly what I was actually feeling about the session. It was lovely.”
“It is important for African students because it makes us get a brief understanding on how FISU Works and help student athletes and also help one to get links with other students all around the world.”
Binta Cissé Niger
“My best memory of The FVLA was the online September session, particularly the last day when they played a video in which some students ambassadors are doing sport
As African students, participating in the FVLA is a great chance through which we can share and promote African sport activities in general and particularly those of each country. Also, it helps us to make a lot of friends around the world that we know that at least we share the same passion, which is Sport.”
Shonisani Masutha South Africa
“My best memory at the FISU Volunteer Leadership Academy would be the opening ceremony, we met with different people from different countries wearing our traditional attires and being our authentic selves and sharing experiences, that for me tops it all.”
“At FVLA you get to interact, share knowledge, understand other countries and how sports work in those places and you can always use that in order to improve where you are. My advice to you as an African student and people from other continents, please do apply for the FVLA, because you get to understand that where you’re based either in Africa or anywhere else is different from where other people are based, this means you get to learn from other students. You also get to understand the things that you do not have, and the things you have that you can use to your advantage.”
Jihad Hamadi Libya
“I liked the time when we had to play sports together for an hour every day. I also enjoyed when we gathered and everyone got to speak, this is because you get to learn new things and look at things from different perspectives.
I encourage all African students to apply for the FISU Volunteer Leadership Academy to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. It is very important for Africans especially as it helps bring young leaders from different nations together. I still maintain contact with all the African Ambassadors I met at the FVLA 2019 & 2020 so I encourage everyone to apply.”
Nakimuli Florence Suzan – Uganda
“My best memory was the World Cup experience, I honestly appreciated that day of 29th June 2018.. I still remember this day because not only did they treat us special but the legacy being on the first row of VIPs..
African students should take part in the FVLA, because it opens your mind to diversity and exposure, after my FVLA program there are so many opportunities that came my way eg. The masters scholarship I am pursuing here in South Korea. Thank you FISU.”
The application process has begun for the 2021 FVLA.

Family Activities in Waitomo
One of the most astounding natural attractions in New Zealand, the Waitomo Caves is a must-do for a family road trip around the country. What’s more, they can be experienced by all ages, from the walking tours through the caves to the gentle boat trips. But that’s not all that Waitomo is about! It’s also a place to see entertaining farm shows, a stunning waterfall and even meet a kiwi bird. So take a look at this list of things to do in Waitomo with kids and plan the perfect family getaway to the caves!
1. Do a Walking Tour Through Limestone and Glowworm Caves
Waitomo is famous for its caving tours and glowworm experiences, but what are the best options for families? We recommend the walking tours of Waitomo’s caves. For instance, there are no age restrictions for the Ruakuri Cave, a 1h15min tour through the breathtaking limestone caves with opportunities to see clusters of glowworms. Learn more about Ruakuri Cave on Viator or Tripadvisor. Alternatively, the Aranui Cave tour is a shorter trip in a more intimate cave setting with colourful formations and native giant insects called a weta (but no glowworms). Finally, the Footwhistle Glowworm Tour with CaveWorld Waitomo is a more off-the-beaten-track experience for families with children aged five and above. Learn more about the Footwhistle Glowworm Tour on Viator and Tripadvisor.
Location: Ruakuri Cave and Aranui Cave tours – 39 Waitomo Village Road. Footwhistle Glowworm Cave tours – 23 Waitomo Village Road.
2. Or Enjoy a Gentle Boat Trip Through the Caves
Another option to experience the caves of Waitomo, but focussing a bit more on the glowworms, are the Waitomo boat tours. A popular option is the Waitomo Glowworm Caves which takes you into the huge Cathedral Cave before embarking on a short boat journey to see a staggering colony of glowworms. See Viator and Tripadvisor for more details on the tour. Alternatively, Spellbound Glowworm and Cave Tours operates a longer walking and gentle rafting experience under another fantastic glowworm display in the Spellbound Cave, as well as an easy walk to see the formations of the Spirit Cave. See more types of tours in the 6 Ways to Take On the Waitomo Caves.

Multiphase mixing device with baffles
The present invention provides a novel means to provide more effective mixing of quench gas and process fluids in a height constrained interbed space of a catalytic reactor without increasing pressure drop. In particular, the device improves the effectiveness of an existing mixing volume in mixing the gas phase of two-phase systems. According to the present invention, the quench zone hardware contained within the reactor includes a substantially vertical continuous perimeter solid baffle attached to the underside of the collection tray.

The present invention relates generally to systems for mixing process gases and liquids and more specifically to interbed quench and mixing systems involving cocurrent downflow reactors using fixed hardware.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In fixed-bed fuels and lube hydroprocessing units, gas and liquid flow downward through multiple beds of solid catalyst. Heat is released from the catalytic reactions causing temperature to increase with distance down the bed. Cool hydrogen-rich gas is introduced between the beds to quench the temperature rise and replenish the hydrogen consumed by the reactions. Three requirements of an effective quench zone are transverse gas mixing, transverse liquid mixing, and quench gas mixing.
The introduction and mixing of quench into the process gas and liquid must be carried out in the interbed space which spans the full vessel diameter, but is often shorter than one vessel radius. Support beams, piping and other obstructions also occupy the interbed region so that unique hardware is required to perform efficient two-phase mixing in what amounts to limited volume.
Poor quench zone performance manifests itself in two ways. First, the quench zone fails to erase lateral temperature differences at the outlet of the preceding bed or, in the worst cases, amplifies them. An effective quench zone should be able to accept process fluids with 50 to 75 degree F. lateral temperature differences or higher and homogenize them sufficiently that differences do not exceed 5 degree F. at the following bed inlet. The second sign of poor performance is that inlet temperature differences following the quench zone increase as the rate of quench gas is raised. This indicates inadequate mixing of cooler gas with the hot process fluids.
Poor quench zone performance limits reactor operation in various ways. When interbed mixing is unable to erase temperature differences, these persist or grow as the process fluids move down the reactor. Hot spots in any bed lead to rapid deactivation of the catalyst in that region which shortens the total reactor cycle length. Product selectivities are typically poorer at high temperatures; hot regions can cause color, viscosity and other qualities to be off-specification. Also, if the temperature at any point exceeds a certain value (typically 800 to 850. degree F.), the exothermic reactions may become self-accelerating leading to a runaway which can damage the catalyst, the vessel, or downstream equipment. Cognizant of these hazards, refiners operating with poor internal hardware must sacrifice yield or throughput to avoid these temperature limitations. With present day refinery economics dictating that hydroprocessing units operate at feed rates far exceeding design, optimum quench zone design is a valuable low-cost debottleneck.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,836,989 is described a method for quench zone design. The essential feature of this design is the rotational flow created in the mixing volume which increases fluid residence time and provides repeated contacting of liquid and gas from different sides of the reactor. This design is keyed to liquid mixing. More recent studies have shown it to be only a fair gas mixer. The trend to higher conversion and higher hydrogen circulation in fuels refining translates to gas/liquid ratios for which this design is not well suited. Height constrained units cannot be fitted with mixing chambers of the type described in this patent that are deep enough to effectively mix both the gas and liquid phases.
An interbed mixing system described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,462,719 offers some improvements over the design described above when gas mixing is paramount. This hardware is based again on a swirl chamber, but also includes at least three highly restrictive flow elements to enhance mixing, which necessarily increase pressure drop. Like the previously described system, this quench zone mixes the gas and liquid at once in a single chamber.
Another system, which is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,068, also provides enhanced mixing of quench gas and process fluids within the interbed space. This system employs separate mixing zones for each of two reactants permitting flexibility in mixing conditions while minimizing pressure drop as well as space and volume requirements. However, the efficiency of this device is sensitive to the degree of phase segregation achieved at the interbed inlet and thus may not perform as desired under all conditions and with respect to particular reactant characteristics.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a novel means to provide more effective mixing of quench gas and process fluids in a height constrained interbed space while not increasing pressure drop. In particular, the device improves the effectiveness of an existing mixing volume in mixing the gas phase of two-phase systems.
According to the present invention, the quench zone hardware contained within the reactor includes a substantially vertical continuous perimeter solid baffle attached to the collection tray.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the baffle is greater than the diameter of the mixing chamber outlet which is defined by the rim of the mixing chamber and smaller than the diameter defined by the inlets to the mixing volume.
Another aspect of the present invention provides improvement in connection with gas phase mixing by providing an incremental increase in the volume available for gas mixing by increasing the ceiling height of the mixing volume within the diameter of the baffle. This increase is accomplished through a cap structure which protrudes above the collection tray.
A plurality of spillways 15 are provided in collector tray 12 to permit a pool of liquid to accumulate on tray 12 before passing through the spillways into mixing chamber 16 beneath. The spillways comprise upstanding downcomers which provide a passage 17 for the downflowing liquid as well as for the vapor. The spillways have outlets 18 beneath collector tray 12 which face sideways and tangentially into an annular mixing chamber 16. Mixing chamber 16 comprises a cylindrical, vertical wall portion 19 which is fixed to collection tray 12 and a lower, annular tray 20 with an upstanding rim 21 for providing a pool of liquid in the mixing chamber. The side facing outlets 18 of spillways 15 impart a rotary or swirling motion to liquid in mixing chamber 16 which promotes good intermixing and temperature equilibrium of the liquid at this point. The liquid spills over the edge or rim 21 and falls downwards onto the deflector 22 which is disposed directly underneath the central aperture in the annular mixing chamber 16.
According to the teachings of the present invention and as further illustrated in
It will be noted that although
The present invention provides at least three beneficial features with respect to mixing performance within the downflow reactor. First, baffle 52 of the present invention prevents short circuiting of the gas through the mixing volume thus promoting repeated contact between the gas and the liquid from different regions within the reactor. Second, baffle 52 forces the liquid level in mixing chamber 16 down thus creating an outer annular region for the rotational flow of the two-phase mixture. Third, baffle 52 isolates a principally gas-filled region inside baffle 52 above the outlet of mixing chamber 16 thus promoting mixing in the gas phase.
In connection with the description herein,
The second and final distributor tray 40 comprises a flat plate 41 with a large number of vapor/liquid downcomers to provide many points of distribution of vapor and liquid over the bed of catalyst below (not shown). Each downcomer comprises an upstanding tube 42 which extends upwardly from plate 41. Each tube has an aperture 43 (or apertures) in its side which is positioned below the top of the pool of liquid which forms on plate 41 during normal operation. The number and size of all the apertures in the downcomer are selected according to the desired flow rate and generally, it is preferred for the apertures to be totally submerged so that the greatest uniformity of liquid flow is achieved, regardless of variations in the level of the second distributor plate.
As pointed out above, the rate of flow of liquid into each aperture varies in proportion to the square root of the height of liquid above the apertures so that the flow rate into the downcomers is relatively insensitive to variations in the level of the distributor plate 40. However, if the liquid level on this tray falls to the point where the apertures are partly uncovered, variations in the horizontal level of the tray will produce relatively greater variations in flow rate across the reactor. For this reason, operation with the apertures completely submerged is preferable. The downcomers are open at the top in order to permit vapor to enter and pass down into the lower catalyst bed but in order to prevent liquid from the first, rough distributor plate entering the downcomers directly and so providing an unpredictable variation from the design flow rate, baffles 44 are placed over the open tops of the downcomers. In addition, the downcomers have liquid weirs at the top in order to provide for additional liquid flow if the liquid level on the second tray should build up beyond its normal height. As with the vapor chimneys, the weirs may be in any convenient form but are suitably straightforward slotted weirs provided by slots 45. The bottoms of the downcomers are open to permit flow of vapor and liquid into the lower catalyst bed.
The distribution system of the present invention provides improved injection of quench gas or other vapor into the reactor, improved mixing of vapor, liquid and injected gas as well as improved distribution across the reactor. This system may also be used with liquid quench with an appropriate injection means in place of the spider. In addition, the system is relatively compact in form and takes up relatively little space in the reactor, as compared to other distribution systems which may provide a similar degree of distribution uniformity. The separate vapor and liquid distribution which occurs on the first distribution plate avoids potential problems with two-phase distribution and only at the end of the distribution process is liquid injected into each vapor stream through the vapor/liquid downcomers on the final distribution tray. Furthermore, the system, as described above, is relatively insensitive to tolerance variations introduced during fabrication and provides superior uniformity of distribution and vapor/liquid contact during operation under varying conditions. This system may also be used without quench injection to provide improved liquid mixing and liquid and vapor redistribution in a long catalyst bed.
The following table illustrates the mixing performance of the mixing system of the present invention with the baffle and cap additions as compared to that of the prior art Spider-Vortex system at fixed operating conditions. The measurements were obtained by measuring tracer concentrations in the gas phase.
In connection with the testing as described in the above table, the reported mixing index is defined as 100 less the standard deviation of tracer concentration, expressed as a percentage of the mean concentration, from eight sample locations equally spaced around the perimeter of the vessel below mixing chamber 16. The different mixing indices reported correspond to different tracer injection locations upstream of the mixing volume. The average is weighted to reflect the fraction of the reactor cross-section represented by each injection location as determined by the geometry and symmetry of the volume above collection tray 12. The weights for injection locations 1 through 6 are 2, 2, 2.5, 4, 3 and 1 respectively. As can be seen, the improvement in gas phase and quench gas mixing when employing the teachings of the present invention is quite substantial.
The teachings of the present invention may be employed in any multi-bed catalytic reactor or contactor requiring intermittent mixing and/or quench of downward flowing gas and liquid phases particularly when taking advantage of rotational flow in a mixing volume. The invention is particularly beneficial in connection with units with very limited inter-bed height. Further, existing quench hardware may relatively easily be retrofitted with the baffle improvement discussed herein in to achieve the benefits described.

It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed.

In this heartfelt and witty collection of autobiographical anecdotes, Mo Barrett invites readers to keep laughing, learning and thinking through all of life’s ups and downs.
As a retired Air Force Colonel, Mo reflects on defining moments, both poignant and comical, throughout her personal and professional life, from navigating the military as a gay female pilot to caring for her aging parents. Such moments include:
- Surviving a purple child-eating dragon at the community pool at the fragile age of five
- Inappropriately groping instructors’ legs (yes, that’s plural) when learning how to stall an airplane
- Performing in a female barbershop singing group inadvertently dressed as a Japanese drag queen
- Shocking residents of small Central American villages by being a female pilot
- Scoring for the wrong team (and playing for the other) and learning to not throw like a girl
- Proving her high school guidance counselor right by failing to get into the Air Force Academy (spoiler alert: eventually she gets in)
In Pardon My Quirk, Mo gracefully models how to find humor (and puns) in the face of adversity, uncovering deeper meaning that inspires growth, connection and optimism. Her grounded stories remind readers that we are more than our labels and that we all have something important to contribute in this world—we just have to pull our heads out and keep on smiling. | <urn:uuid:7ba7296a-b85e-4cb2-9b06-bb88e990dfe8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ebookbooster.com/books/pardon-my-quirk-anecdotes-to-make-you-laugh-learn-and-think/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.941627 | 289 | 1.773438 | 2 |

True... maybe _nocache_strict()? Or, leave it _wt() until someone
comes along and is surprised that the cache is not warm for reads
after memcpy_wt(), at which point we can ask "why not just use plain
memcpy then?", or set the page-attributes to WT. | <urn:uuid:e1d12327-6260-473e-a0aa-075c8eaa2b71> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1705.0/03424.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.853165 | 571 | 1.515625 | 2 |
Charity Donations and Storage
Charity Clothes Donations and Storage
There are hidden depths to the whole business of donating clothes to charity, as well as a lot of mistaken beliefs about what happens to them.
According to the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), last year in the UK we bought 1,130,000 tonnes of clothes. However, a study by Barnardo’s in 2015 revealed that each item we own is only worn an average of 7 times before we get rid of it.
More recent research, this time by Sainsbury’s, has then found that three quarters of us are more likely to throw-away clothes that we no longer want rather than give them to charity or recycling. Sometimes this is because we are too lazy or have no time to visit the recycling point, but sometimes also, in the mistaken belief that they were too worn out or dirty to donate to charity.
It seems, also, that quite a lot of what is donated to charity is not actually sold in the High Street charity shops or donated to people in need but is in fact shipped overseas or sold on to textile merchants.
The merchants sort and grade them before selling them on - this is still providing useful revenue to the charity shops. Some of it also ends up on local market stalls in places like Africa and it has been argued that although they are then sold they are contributing to both employment and to the local economy.
Even clothes donated that are beyond having a wearable life can still be recycled by breaking them down to fibres that can then provide stuffing for pillows, padding for carpets, cloths for cleaning and as home insulation.
But in these days of ever smaller homes what do you do if you are collecting textiles either for a local charity jumble sale, or to eventually pass on to a charity?
Well, it may be worth talking to a local self storage company.
HomeStore offers a minimum storage period of just a week with no tie in. For a longer period of storage there may also be an offer of a reduced rate for storage and registered charities can also benefit from bespoke agreements. | <urn:uuid:9395a672-25ee-4336-984b-cf633d501d75> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.homestore.me.uk/charity/charity-donations-and-storage/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.971438 | 446 | 1.960938 | 2 |

As we age, we all experience our bodies slowing down. Joints might begin to ache and stiffness appears where it didn’t exist before. The physical activities we used to do on a regular basis might be more difficult or the recovery time after the physical exertion is extended a lot longer than we would like. Believe it or not, one way to help our bodies combat the signs of aging is through regular therapeutic massage. It’s not just a spa day treat but can help keep your body functioning optimally at any age. Below are just five benefits of regular massage.
Aging brings with it a lot more muscle and joint pain than ever before. The light, gentle stroking and kneading and the application of specific pressure points can ease the pain that comes with arthritis and general inflammation.
Quality of Sleep
For those taking certain medications or suffering from general pain conditions, regular massages can help improve the quality of sleep, thus allowing the body the down time to heal itself.
For many seniors, especially those living alone, human touch is not something received often enough. Regular massage provides gentle and healing touch to people who may not be receiving regular human touch. This can dramatically improve mental health and keep depression from setting in long term.
Massage decreases cortisol levels in the body (also known as the stress hormone) which allows the body to enter a deeper state of relaxation and rejuvenation.
One of the joys of aging is the tightening of our muscles and joints thus making it more difficult to heal from injuries. Regular massage can keep muscles, connective tissues, joints, ligaments and tendons in proper working order which mean healing from injury can occur more quickly.

British defence and security policy has recently come under attack for lacking strategic vision. In a historical study of British strategy-making, Gwyn Prins pulls out key lessons for current defence strategists, finding that it is often best to leave the Treasury out of strategy-making.
The October 2010, the Public Administration Select Committee inquiry into how strategy-making is conducted in the British government came to a remarkable finding. It concluded that no-one ‘does’ strategy. The August 2011 Defence Select Committee inquiry into the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) and the National Security Strategy (NSS) criticised the SDSR in conception and consequence; it declined to accept the prime minister’s view of its effects, or views similar to MrCameron’s in testimony from certain other politicians and senior officials. Neither committee thinks that Britain has a robust national security strategy today. Neither committee thinks that this problem can be fixed by marginal adjustment. They believe that the international departments of state have poor maps and compasses with which to plot their detailed courses and dispositions.
The fiduciary authority of select committees on behalf of the public interest is above that of ministers who must answer to them for their actions. It is not voluntary for the government to attend to the committees’ concerns on the committees’ terms. It is mandatory. Today’s governing class seems to feel no shame about its ignorance of history, nor does it seem aware of how risky that ignorance can be. The culture of Whitehall is notable for the absence of corporate memory and for the constant, churning turnover of people in posts. Together these characteristics mean that those who forget their history are indeed condemned to repeat it.
Origins of central strategy-making in war
British defence reorganizations have a long history. The second Boer prompted fundamental changes in the relationship between the military and the government. Future Prime Minister A J Balfour established the Committee of Imperial Defence (CID) in 1904 to prevent the ad-hoc strategic thinking, complacency and incompetence that preceded the war.
The CID had an advisory and warning, not an executive, role, and its membership embraced the service chiefs, ministers and officials. But it had wide latitude to commission and to engage external experts, rather like its successor in function, the National Security Council, or the modern select committee structure of the House of Commons. The CID was supported by a small and skillful civil service secretariat which for was regarded as the ‘keystone of the whole edifice’.
The 2010 National Security Council that Prime Minister Cameron introduced has many of the same stated objectives as the CID but expressed in today’s language. The idioms and political contexts may change but the problem remains the same. The stated purpose of the CID in 1904 was to obtain and co-ordinate ‘for the use of the Cabinet all the information and expert advice required for the shaping of National policy in war and for determining the necessary preparations in peace’. The purpose of the 2010 National Security Council is not different although, by report, its manner of conducting its business is.
Military spending in austerity
The most important test of the CID system came between 1932 and 1935. In 1932 it had protested against the Ten Year Rule, which meant that the country was calculating on no war before 1942. The Ten Year Rule was used to justify ‘taking a gap’ in capabilities in the language of the 2010 defence review, which was likewise underpinned by a Ten Year Rule logic. The Chiefs’ reply reminded the Treasury that whereas it appeared to view ‘war as a luxury which we cannot afford’, the services took the view that ‘actually it is a financial disaster we cannot risk’. Contrary to the Treasury’s impression, the fighting services were not raring to go to war but saw themselves as ‘the premium which we pay for security from war and financial ruin’.
In 1932, the Chiefs protested that it was impossible to see three, let alone ten, years ahead. In the famous House of Lords debate of 12 November 2010, whose historic importance is already widely attested, Admiral Lord Boyce (formerly First Sea Lord and Chief of the Defence Staff, 2001–03) repeated the CID’s exchange with the Treasury almost verbatim, but in different military currency:
‘the underlying rationale in the [SDSR] review for disposing of this aircraft [the Harrier GR9], which gives the carrier its strike capability until the introduction of the Joint Strike Fighter, is this: In the short term, there are few circumstances we can envisage where the ability to deploy airpower from the sea will be essential.What a desperate expression of hope over bitter experience. The people serving on the National Security Council must have been asleep for the past dozen years or so. We have no problem today because we have no emerging crisis. That can change in days’.
And so it did. Seven different crises with potential military dimensions for Britain (Korea, Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Libya, Yemen, stand-by support for the civil power in the English riots) can be counted between Lord Boyce’s speech and now. Six of them have maritime aspects.
In 1932, the secretary of the CID, Maurice Hankey wrote a short appendix to the CID report giving illustrations of ‘the difficulties of forecasting peace’. He started with Queen Elizabeth laying up her fleet five months before the Spanish Armada set sail in 1588 and ended with Milner’s 1917 memorandum from Russia reporting ‘a great deal of exaggeration in the talk of revolution’.
Though the effect of the 1932 report was that the Ten Year Rule was suspended by the Cabinet, new money was not to be expected or to be forthcoming. Therefore in 1933, the chiefs, now under the chairmanship of Lord Chatfield, and supported by the Foreign Office, described in even stronger terms the mismatch between the grand strategic environment as they saw it and the state of national defence.
An implied threat that the defence forces ‘could not, with the arms we had, accept our present responsibilities as they were laid down‘ won Chatfield traction in the CID which led to the establishment of a special Defence Requirements Sub-Committee (DRSC) to review the entire strategic scene while ‘taking due regard to the financial position of the country’. The review frightened parliamentary and public opinion, but the urgency of the financial dangers was again pressed and only moderate increases in funds were proposed.
The chiefs refused to accept this settlement. Therefore, with more strategic shocks occurring, a second Defence Requirements Sub-Committee sat in July 1935. Unusually, it was given altered terms of reference to assess and to prescribe force requirements without regard to financial considerations. Mrs Thatcher employed a similar logic when shaping cabinet procedures for the Falklands war.
Coincidental with this review work, the Abyssinian crisis broke in May 1935 and revealed the hollowness of collective security. Britain was left carrying most of the military load. There are parallels in the international diplomacy leading to UNSCR 1973 in April 2011 and in the conduct of military operations arising. No sooner had Abyssinia subsided than the next unforeseen strategic shock, the Spanish Civil War, occurred in 1936. Chatfield wrote, in words which have a contemporary ring, that:
Time after time the Services were told that the financial dangers to the country were greater than the military ones. So long had the Treasury remained the real factor in the Government, in deciding what our armed strength was to be, that other influences only slowly became effective. The Government seemed unable to face the fact that every million spent now reduced the chance of war, and that if war came it would not be spent in time, while the cost would be much greater.
Following the second DRSC report, the chiefs did successfully begin to translate their grand strategic appreciation into operational strategy, via what under their influence had now become government policy.
The cardinal principle of the post-war period: collaboration
The first post-war reorganization of the British defence forces emphasised that ‘it should be the men responsible in the Service departments for carrying out the approved policy who are brought together in the central machine to formulate it’. This cardinal principle should again be the backbone which both forms and articulates the bureaucratic skeleton of the MoD. It is especially vital because it restores lines of accountability: to the service chiefs for designing force structure; to the permanent secretary for managing the money; and to the Chief of the Defence Staff for delivering military success. The motto for this relationship is ‘collaboration, not primacy’.
There is an inherent tendency for the size of the administrative civil service to grow in the MoD as more generally across government. But civil servants are not just a source of bloat and an impediment to clarity, although they often have been so. In the final analysis, the civil servant performs an indispensible duty. Recently, for example, the Ministry of Defence’s Permanent Secretary Sir Michael Quinlan effectively shaped the department’s intellectual engagement with the general public on nuclear matters at a time of high public agitation. Collaboration, not primacy, has made for success. Its value is reflected in a trend to introduce non-executives into civil service boards of management.
Past successes key to future innovations
As the June 2011 Levene Report correctly observes, ‘the success or failure of any model depends on the people within the organisation – and particularly its leaders’. The history of the CID proposes an elegant and specific recommendation that could help remedy the key defect identified by the select committee reports of 2010 and 2011: the failure of the current national security strategy methodologies to effect a reliable and credible introduction of grand and operational strategic insights into ministerial policy-making, thus leaving the Ministry of Defence without secure guidelines for deployment of its improved and reformed structure, however good it may be.
Looking ahead, there is unique value in a combined grand and operational strategic study which is militarily literate and conducted independently, without fear or favour to any party or to any transient issue and without reference to finance, leading to force structure recommendations. Only when the study is complete should financial considerations be introduced. Doubtless, the Treasury would resent and resist this now as it did in the past. But as then, so now, it is important that this opposition is overcome.
At the point when money is brought into the discussion, the government of the day would be forced to face – and be unable to avoid – an informed understanding of what it could not do because it chose not to fund the capability or, alternatively, had to do and therefore had to fund the capability. This understanding would help to balance departmental power within the Cabinet. It would thereby permit the Cabinet to inform more fully the inevitable choices about allocation of taxpayers’ money. Crucially, it might thereby provide some slim buffer against being driven uncontrollably by events.
This is the way in which to address the deficiency specifically identified by the Chief of the Defence Staff in evidence to the Defence Select Committee: to bring ‘ways and means’ into correct alignment with ‘ends’. That is what is required for – and of – a safe national security strategy.

Fleas may seem like a far-removed problem. In reality, several situations cause these pests to make your house their home. When this happens, the best approach is to look into flea pest control. Even Louisville, KY homes and businesses owners need help with flea control at times.
If you think you might have a flea problem, learn about the basics of identifying and treating a flea infestation below. You can feel confident about flea pest control for your Louisville, KY property once you know more about the situation.
What You Should Know About Fleas
Fleas are incredibly mobile thanks to their six powerful legs. The wingless insects also have tiny hairs all over their bodies, which aid their movement through fur. Because of this, fleas often host on animals. As parasites, they survive off mammal blood and will feed on humans if their animal host proves insufficient.
Flea eggs also travel easily since they don’t cling to hosts. With one strong shake or scratch from your pet, flea eggs can spread throughout your home. These eggs can hatch wherever they land, whether it be your carpet or your bedding.
How to Recognize a Flea Infestation
If you find your pet scratching or grooming more than usual, that behavior could indicate a flea problem. Look for red skin and loose hair when you inspect your animal. You might also see the pests themselves. You can identify a flea by its size—about 2.5 mm—and shiny, red-brown appearance.
Flea droppings, also known as flea dirt, look black and coarse and often appear in clumps. You might find flea dirt on your pet, in pet bedding, or around your home.
As mentioned, fleas will also move to human hosts at times. Talk with a doctor about skin irritation since other conditions can cause itching and redness as well.
What to Do When You Face Flea Infestation
The first thing you’ll want to do is contact a professional about flea pest control. A Louisville, KY pest control company can inspect and treat your home to eliminate the fleas.
Additionally, look for holes and cracks that might allow flea-ridden rodents into your home. This is an often overlooked issue—even if you remove the rodent, it might leave behind eggs or resting fleas.
If your pet was the infestation source, you’ll want to take your animal to the vet for more extensive flea control. Don’t forget to wash any pet bedding and vacuum your carpets and rugs as well.
If you suspect fleas have entered your home or building, don’t stress. Contact us today! With expert and effective flea pest control, your Louisville, KY property can return to its original, comfortable state.

The Christmas season is upon us once again; for most of us it is a time of joy and celebration, of coming together as families. Yet it’s so easy for the great truths of this season to get lost in all the rush, and in the relentless commercialism that takes ownership of the Christmas story for its own ends.
As we walk ever closer to Bethlehem, and look for the vulnerable baby born in a lowly stable, we remember that God came to us in Jesus, walked our journey and lived our life. God set out on the most risky venture of all: allowing a young unmarried girl to be the God-bearer, when her pregnancy could so easily have led to her being to death. Only the faith of Joseph saved her from such a fate. As Mary shares her unbelievable news with her cousin Elizabeth, Elizabeth’s unborn child is the first to grasp who Jesus was. Mary’s response is to sing her song of joy, that we know as the Magnificat. ‘My soul glorifies the Lord….because he has taken notice of me, a person of no account.’
Today we remember that the Prince of Peace, comes yet again into a world where we experience war and violence as the norm. Today as we light the candle of Love, we remember that Jesus Christ, the one who walked our way, taught us how to love the very least of our brothers and sisters. The meaning of Christmas comes alive, when it is a Christmas for others. We must not let feelings of indifference or powerlessness in the face of the world’s need, prevent us doing something, no matter how small, no matter how local to express the real meaning of Christmas this year.
A very peaceful and blessed Christmas to you all. May God’s Spirit be with you throughout this busy time, and as we begin our journey together as a community into 2019.

Listening to educational parody songs is a great way to help remember simple information.
Similar to the way mnemonic devices work, parody songs are an effective study tool for any upcoming tests or quizzes.
But after you take your test, there’s no guarantee that you’ll remember what you learned from that parody song.
The entire idea of learning goes beyond just getting an A on a 9th-grade science test. Your goal should be to fully grasp the concepts and be able to explain them to someone else. To fully grasp any concept, your effort will need to go beyond merely listening to an educational parody song.
One solution to take your learning a step deeper is to write your own educational parody song.
It may sound like a daunting task at first.
However, here at Jam Campus, we’ve hosted multiple student music video contests over the years. Students from all over the world have submitted their songs in our contests and we’ve received some top quality submissions. Check out this winning educational music video from our 2018 contest.
This article outlines the details of the writing process.
If you are just starting off and haven’t chosen a song yet, start with this article about choosing the best song for your educational parody. And if you’re just looking for a few tips writing educational songs in general, this article is a great place to start.
If you’re a student looking for ways to enhance your learning. Or you’re a teacher looking to impress your students with your own educational parody song, you’ve come to the right place.
As you start your journey, here are our top five tips for writing your own educational parody song.
1. Outline your structure
Before you jump into writing, it’s essential to organize your ideas into an outline. Just like you would draft an outline before writing an essay, your song outline provides structure and keeps you focused. Educational parody songs are created with a specific learning objective. And to stay focused on the learning objective and make sure all boxes are checked, a thorough outline of your ideas is the best place to start.
We suggest writing your specific learning objective at the top of our outline page before you begin. This way, you’ll always have a reference easily available in case your lyrics start to get off track.
From here, start to outline your song. A simple song structure follows the format of Verse 1, Chorus 1, Verse 2, Chorus 2. By writing these words on your paper, you now have a rough outline of how the song is structured. The next (and most challenging) part is to translate your learning objective into four equal parts. Ask yourself questions like:
“What are the most important pieces of information to include?”
“How can I simplify this message?”
“What words can I use in the Chorus to make this song memorable?”
2. Match the syllables
As you begin writing your educational parody song, pay close attention to the original song lyrics and syllables within each line. Your goal will be to match your lyrics exactly to the amount of syllables in the original song. It sounds simple, but too often we hear parody songs that try to cram too many words into a line of lyrics. The result comes off sounding cheap, lazy, and less impactful when it comes to learning. An easy way to avoid this is to count the syllables on your hand. For example, if we were creating a parody of God’s Plan by Drake, the first line in the original song is:
“I’ve been moving calm, don’t start no trouble with me.”
This line has 12 syllables. Going line by line, your goal is to match your lyrics to these 12 syllables. It’s an easy way to smooth out the sound of your educational parody song. Your audience will thank you later.
3. Don’t be lazy
One big pet peeve in listening to educational parody songs is the laziness in songwriting. We mention this in other song creation articles, but it’s worth bringing up again. Think of every single word you write as an opportunity to teach. Every. Single. Word. That means that each word (or syllable) that you decide to write into your song, must be meaningful. Stick with your learning objective and infuse that objective into every word.
That means to remove any lines that say “and he was really cool” or “and she was really great.” These lines provide no value to your audience and are clearly recognized as lazy songwriting. It’s ok if you write your first draft and have a few of those in. But make sure to go back, edit, and refine those “fluff-words” out of there.
4. Use tools like Rhymezone and Thesaurus
Don’t be a hero. Let the internet be the hero. As you write your song, keep a tab on your browser open with Rhymezone and Thesaurus. These two tabs will be essential in helping you think through word ideas. Sometimes you need a word that rhymes. And sometimes you need a synonym. Let the experts guide you.
5. Say the words out loud
Words and language are tricky. Sometimes they sound good when you read them in your head. But as soon as you say them out loud, your tongue gets tangled and it comes out sounding drastically different.
To save time with your writing later, say the words out loud. Even if you only have a handful of lines written. Play the original track (or the instrumental version) and sing the words out loud. If you’ve got family around and don’t want to disturb them, you can always just whisper the words. Whispering is surprisingly much more effective than merely saying the words in your head.
This exercise saves you time in the long run. When you say your lyrics out loud, you’re quickly able to tell if your written words are going to work or if it’s time to try something else.
6. Edit and refine
With any piece of written material, editing is your best friend. No one writes a masterpiece on the first try. It takes time and dedication to perfect.
If you’ve been writing lyrics for a few hours, sometimes it’s best to take a break. Sleep on it and then open up your song the next day. With a fresh mind, you’ll find you have a whole new perspective on your song. This will allow you to further refine and improve your lyrics.
Another option is to show your lyrics to a friend or family member. Have them read through the lyrics (or sing them!) and provide their feedback. Did they understand the topic? What parts were they confused on? Peer to peer feedback is always essential in any creative endeavor and can be immensely helpful in writing educational parody songs.
Just like learning any skill, writing your own song may be a challenging task at first.
But keep going! I promise it gets easier and easier with each song. It’s an incredibly rewarding feeling to create a song or video with educational value that others can learn from. Keep moving forward and always feel free to reach out to us if you have any thoughts or questions.

ON OUR THIRD VISIT to the delightful grounds of Compton Verney House in Warwickshire, we took a close look at the chapel that stands close to the main house. Constructed between 1776 and 1779 in Palladian style, it was designed by someone who was far better known for his skill in landscape planning than for his architectural ability, Lancelot (‘Capability’) Brown (c1715-1783).
The chapel was constructed to replace another older mediaeval one that Brown demolished in order to improve the view of the garden’s lake from the main house. A slender obelisk stands close to the lake, marking the former position of the older chapel. A carved stone notice below it explains:
“This obelisk is an exact model of the Lateran obelisk at Rome. The marble was given by Joseph Thomas Jeffrey Esq of Place in Cornwall”
A man with the same name ordered the building of the Treffry Viaduct in Cornwall in 1839, using granite from his own quarries (https://explorecornwall.org/a-walk-around-luxulyan-valley/). Maybe this is the same person who supplied the granite on which the Compton Verney obelisk stands. Place in Cornwall is near to Fowey, where Jeffrey was based.
Close to this monument, there are a couple of gravestones lying in the grass. When the old chapel was demolished in 1772, most of its funerary monuments were saved and then transferred to Brown’s new chapel, where they can be seen today.
A fenced off area near the obelisk contains a brick structure from which spring water issues. This is fed to a rectangular stone bath next to the lakeside. This pool is currently being used to grow watercress.
On entering Capability Brown’s chapel, the visitor cannot help immediately noticing the splendid carved monument in the centre of the eastern half of the nave. Carved in 1631 by Nicholas Stone (c1586-1647), sculptor and architect as well as Master Mason to both James I and Charles I, its top bears the carved almost life-sized effigies of Richard (1563-1630) and Margaret Verney (née Margaret Greville, 6th Baroness Willoughby de Broke; c1561-1631) . Various large gravestones form the floor of the raised step where an altar should normally stand. Some of these have been placed so that the heads of the stone slabs face east rather than the usual west. The oldest memorial that we could find in the chapel is dated 1574. It is the gravestone of George Verney (c1543-1574), son of Sir Richard Verney (c1516-1549) and his wife Frances (née Raleigh; c1521-1544).
While I was looking at the stones set in the floor, our friend, who was accompanying us and knows of my interest in India and its history, pointed to a commemorative plaque on the north wall of the chapel. It informs:
“In memory of Henry Verney 2nd Lieutenant VII Hussars. Born June 19th 1870, drowned at Poonah with two of his brother officers June 25th 1893, and of Katharine Verney born July 3rd 1874, died July 28th 1897.”
Henry’s full name was ‘Henry Peyto Verney’. He was the son of Henry Verney, 18th Baron Willoughby de Broke (1844-1902) and Geraldine (née Smith-Barry). Katharine was Henry’s sister. ‘Poonah’ is an old name for the city of Pune (modern name) in the current State of Maharashtra in India.
The VII Hussars were originally ‘7th Queen’s Own Light Dragoons’. They took on their new name in 1807. This British army unit, which Henry Verney joined, was in existence from 1805 until 1958. The unit served all over the place: in the Peninsular Wars (1808-1809); in England to help quell the Corn Law Riots (1815); at the Battle of Waterloo (1815); in Canada, quelling riots (1838-1842); in India suppressing the Revolt that began in 1857 (1857-1859); South Africa (1881-1882) during the First Anglo-Boer conflict; the Sudan (1884-1885); and again in India (1886-1895)
Henry Verney joined the VII Hussars and went out to India at the age of twenty. According to a history of the VII Hussars (https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/britishcavalry/7thhussarsverney.htm) :
“Preparations for embarkation to India began in September 1886 when the 7th left Hounslow to go to Shorncliffe. Horses were handed over to the Mounted Infantry and to the 14th Hussars who were returning from India. Extra men were drafted into the regiment from other hussar units so that the strength was now 21 officers, 587 NCOs and privates. They, with 50 women and 47 children proceeded by rail to Portsmouth where they sailed on the ‘Euphrates’ troopship on 26th Nov 1886. They arrived at Bombay on 23rd Dec, taking less than a month, so must have sailed through the Suez Canal. They were stationed at Secunderabad … In Oct 1891 they moved to Mhow…”
They arrived at Mhow (renamed ‘Dr. Ambedkar Nagar’ in Madhya Pradesh State) in the year following that in which Henry Verney joined them:
“He joined the 7th Hussars on 8th Oct 1890 and served with them in India but he was unfortunately drowned in a boating accident at Poona on 25th June 1893. He and two other young officers, Lt Sutton and Lt Crawley were on leave and hired a sailing boat to go on the river, but they lost control of it in the current and were swept over a waterfall. The three of them were seen clinging to the upturned boat in the swirling waters but they succumbed and went under, one of them was last seen swimming towards a bridge but he never made it. Verney’s body was found on 27th and the other two on the next day. They were buried on 28th June with military honours. A firing party was provided by 2nd Yorks LI and a gun carriage by L Battery RHA. The commanding officer Lt-Col J L Hunt attended with 9 officers and 3 warrant officers.”
This plaque in Capability Brown’s chapel is not the only one recalling the drowning of Henry Verney. Another one can be seen in the church at Lighthorne, a village close to Compton Verney. The trapezoid plaque, which I have yet to see, reads:
“TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN THE MEMORY OF HENRY PEYTO VERNEY/ LIEUT 7TH HUSSARS DROWNED AT POONAH/ IN INDIA 25 JUNE 1893 AGED 23 YEARS” (www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/83855).
Had Henry not been killed so young, he might have become involved in the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) or even WW1, by which time he would have been 44 years old. During that war, the VII Hussars lost 224 of their members in Mesopotamia during 1917. They had been sent to the Middle East from Bangalore (India), where they had been stationed since 1911.
Even if your interest in India is minimal or non-existent, it is well worth making a visit to Compton Verney to see its art collections, house, chapel, its lake with fine stone bridges, its wonderful trees, and its beautifully landscaped grounds. | <urn:uuid:53754269-9c44-4082-9d3f-aaaac1cb485d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://adam-yamey-writes.com/tag/maharashtra/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.975678 | 1,709 | 2.96875 | 3 |

Implementation of a smart city comes with enormous opportunities to improve the lives of citizens and transform the overall city infrastructure and operations. From an evolving technology point of view, we are now entering a phase where the development of AI models having predictive, prescriptive and contextual analytics capability is helping cities grow.
The smart city gets an eagle-eye view of the entire city through connected homes, cars, streets and buildings, allowing it to deliver insights to reduce waste, expense and waiting times—building a sustainable society. Smart devices like autonomous electric vehicles will understand an individual’s daily patterns to charge automatically. Cities and companies are optimising energy, water consumption and carbon emissions for a better environment and society. City managers are effectively scheduling trains, decrease congestion on platforms, and reduce car traffic when there are seats available on trains. Due to increasing population, detecting an infectious disease and preventing its spread is most crucial. Acting quickly with accurate real-time information coupled with data analytics can have a profound impact on the lives of people around the world, socially and economically.
This edition of CIO Applications Europe features companies such as City 4.0 that is at the forefront of offering agile smart city services. CIO Applications Europe’s editorial board has assessed and shortlisted some of the most prominent organisations in the industry that solve challenges by implementing the current technological trends in the space.

Linz, 2 May 2022: In time with the Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on 19 May, the TRIPS project consortium is organising the three-part “No Passenger Left Behind” webinar series.
Accessible public transport is a crucial element to facilitate independent living – no matter if you are a person with a disability, a senior citizen or have any other access need. The TRIPS project used a co-design approach, under which public transport users with disabilities and public transport providers developed new design concepts to remove barriers and make public transport more accessible. In the 3rd and final year of the project, these concepts are now being trialed in seven European pilot cities.
Highlighting some of the aspects the work in the TRIPS project has revealed, the upcoming webinars explore:
• 5 May: Creating a Physical & Digital Barrier-Free Public Transport
• 10 May: The relevance of accessible transport post-Covid (with the participation of MEP Stelios Kympouropoulos)
• 23 June: Best practice and pilots for accessible transport solutions
“The webinar series is a wonderful opportunity to present the work of our pilot cities to the European policy makers and transport operators, showcase what is working on the ground and inform the higher-level policy initiatives to make public transport in Europe accessible, sustainable and future-proof,” says Tally Hatzakis from Trilateral Research and project lead.
The Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) traditionally focuses on digital access and inclusion, but with technologies merging and digital tech permeating more and more aspects of our life, public transport needs both physical and digital inclusion and accessibility. We are therefore happy to join in the momentum of GAAD and invite you to participate in the TRIPS webinar series, come with your questions and learn from people’s experience on the ground in removing barriers from public transport.
About the TRIPS project:
TRIPS stands for “TRansport Innovation for disabled People needs Satisfaction”. The project aims at making public transport more accessible for persons with disabilities, elderly voyagers and really everyone. The consortium brings together pan- European networks of users (ENIL), transport organisations (UITP), assistive technology experts (AAATE) and municipalities to engage in open innovation on mobility. They are supported by design methodology experts (TUE), systems integration experts (TB) and privacy experts (TRI). Building on this expertise, TRIPS will deliver and deploy a Co-design- for-All methodology in 7 pilot cities – Lisbon, Zagreb, Bologna, Cagliari, Brussels, Sofia, Stockholm. More information: https://trips-project.eu/
Beyond the practical work on the ground, the TRIPS project consortium also carried out two large-scale user surveys with the participation of over 500 people with disabilities from across Europe. This resulted in a first list of policy recommendations for making public transport more accessible – in the short, middle and long term. Link to the White Paper with the policy recommendations:
The Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE) is a non profit membership organization and its aim is to advance the knowledge on assistive technology in all its forms and, more in general, to enhance the role technology can have in enabling citizens with functional restrictions to be active, to participate in all realms of life and to have a higher quality of life. The association has institutional and single members in almost all European countries and is part of various international collaboration frameworks, such as the Global Network of AT professional organisations and the ENTELIS network (together with other European umbrella organisations). The association organises every two years a major international conference on Assistive Technology and publishes the journal Technology and Disability.
About the Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD):
The Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is an awareness day focusing on digital access and inclusion for the more than one billion people with disabilities and impairments. It is marked annually on the third Thursday of May: https://accessibility.day/

San Angelo city council meeting gets heated due to stormwater policy debate
SAN ANGELO — A storm of public comment at a San Angelo City Council meeting Tuesday, Nov. 20, forced revisions to proposed stormwater policies.
Most of the meeting passed quickly, but the stormwater topic resulted in about 90 minutes of debate between the public, council members and the city's stormwater program administrators.
Shannon McMillan, stormwater program manager, presented a series of proposed stormwater policies in the form of a 35-page document given to the council.
The policies would allow the stormwater program to meet state and federal standards by adding an illicit-discharge ordinance. The program had gone eight years without meeting this standard and was under a December 2018 permit renewal deadline to catch up.
An illicit discharge is a non-stormwater discharge of matter, such as oil, that could taint waterways.
According to officials, the local program would be hit with a $37,500 fine per day, per violation for not having the ordinance in place.
"I want to make sure as we go forward with this that we're able to capture whatever dollars are out there for those particular discharges that are illegal," said Harry Thomas, District 3 council member. "We're out of compliance for 30 days, that's a million dollars."
Proposed policies also would allow the city to be reimbursed for cleaning up spills, address illicit discharges (not containing stormwater), make people clean up their own messes, help stormwater receive payments from those who break policy, and force construction projects less than 1 acre to implement erosion control measures.
McMillan said most of the policies addressed in the document are already in place, with the additions of a new illicit discharge ordinance, and the new rule about construction on sites smaller than 1 acre.
"Our proposed ordinance is the bare minimum requirements that the state and federal government require us to implement ... with one exception," McMillan said, noting that the rule about erosion control on small plots is not a statutory requirement to meet standards.
"For the most part, as long as they have a lawn established or some sort of landscaping, there's no need for them to put up a silt fence," McMillan said. "All we're asking is that their site be contained."
Lane Carter, District 5 council member, asked if the policies would make a difference and was answered with a resounding "yes" from McMillan.
Lance Overstreet, assistant director of water utilities, also vouched for the policies.
Commercial lots below an acre were circumventing regulations, Overstreet said, adding, "We'd get calls, and there was nothing we would do about it."
Early on in the presentation, Mayor Brenda Gunter called the policies "heavy-handed" and said she "would not support it." She also questioned how often the department sweeps the streets.
"If the city is not taking care of the streets and sweeping them on a regular basis, I would think the city would be mostly at fault for not taking care of the streets," Gunter said.
McMillan said they sweep quarterly, but later said they aim to get every street done once a year. There are no minimum requirements on how often the sweepers go through, and they are only required to have a program and operating procedure, McMillan said.
"We have six street sweepers. On average four of them are working at the same time," McMillan said. "We have a program, but those operations guys are often redirected to do other tasks. We're stretched thin like every other department."
Gunter pointed out that was an issue.
"When we read through this document, a very heavy-handed document, it is a document that I think probably has little ability to be managed, because it requires the public to manage it, because we don't have a staff to do it," Gunter said. "I'm just saying, we put these ordinances out there with no ability to enforce them."
McMillan argued the program is looking at "a much bigger picture" and said they are looking at violations where someone has thrown 10-gallon paint can into the street, for instance, not targeting people who fertilizes and waters their yard correctly.
The first of four motions was to adopt the bare-minimum standards and exclude properties below an acre. A call for public comment brought forth four men, two of them contractors/developers.
San Angeloan Steve Hampton said the document was "coming on pretty strong." He also voiced concern that there did not seem to be a standard for fines.
"I think Lane was right in doing what he did as far as making the proposal, but I was sympathetic to Lance's overture also because the city is left defenseless in controlling of bad situations," Hampton said. "I feel that this needs to be re-evaluated."
The two developers also agreed the policy needed to be tabled for further discussion.
Rocky Templin, a local building developer, said he believes water quality has improved, and he was implementing stormwater techniques "long before the city was."
He also had questions about how the policies would affect events such as the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo. He said he was on the fence about the under-an-acre policy.

Tommy Johns, a builder and developer, also took the podium and commended staff on their work on the document. His concern was the "overburden of regulations that would cause a rise in home" prices.
"At the end of the day, I know we have to comply with these regulations, but there are many, many different ways to do that without continuing raising the cost," Johns said.
City attorney Theresa James addressed the cost concerns.
"For the developers and the cost of the home, these are regulations they've already been having to follow," James said. "There should be no increase on the cost of these gentlemen and the price of a home."
Three motions were made, argued and rescinded before a fourth was agreed upon.
The third motion, to accept the policies as presented, met a 3-3 vote. Gunter moved to table it, but the stormwater program needed it passed in December.
The final motion, which passed 6-0, was to move the policies forward to second reading. By the first meeting in December, the policy should have undergone revision.
In other business
An item about rezoning a portion of a Lake Nasworthy addition near Fisherman's Road was presented by Planning and Development Services Director Jon James.
It sought to rezone the area around an RV park from single-family residence to general commercial. James said there was already commercial activity going on in the area that it was not zoned for.
"We see no anticipated permanent effects on the environment," James said. "The current uses are reflective of the commercial and recreational activities already out there."
A potential lease holder voiced a desire to create a performance stage to hold future concerts. The council rejected that but passed the rezoning request unanimously.
The council also announced two holidays for 2018.

According to German news magazine, Der Spiegel, the West is beginning to train Syrian rebels in Jordan, with Americans taking the leads as participants and organizers. According to Der Spiegel, as of now it is unclear whether the individuals present there are part of the army or hired by private firms, but some wore military uniforms.
At first, the conflict in Syria seemed to have a “pro-Democracy” edge to it, and it seemed that ideology was the driving force behind the unrest. Now, however, as the conflict has transformed into a sectarian civil war, the U.S., and all other western forces, should limit their involvement in the region. Tangling ourselves into a nation’s civil war will not be beneficial to us nor to them, seeing that the differences are catalyzed by historical issues that the U.S. is unlikely to fully grasp. Because of this, training the rebels is certainly a step in the wrong direction.
According to Jordanian security sources, the training effort is led by the U.S., but British and French instructors, together with Jordanian forces are also involved in training Syrian rebels on the use of anti-tank weaponry. The alleged goal is to build around a dozen units that will total to around 10,000 fighters.
As of now, 200 men have already received training and the plan in the future is for a “free Syrian army” to receive the same training in two camps — one in the South and one in the East of the country.
The U.S., Britain and France have all declined to comment. However, their involvement has been present in the region for some time now. The U.S, as of yet, has said that it would provide medical supplies and food directly to the rebel fighters, but has decided against sending arms. The main fear there is that the arms may find their way to the radical Islamists.
Britain has also decided to provide non-lethal military aid to the opposition fighters, although the decision was met with criticism from a Syrian envoy who believes that Western involvement is hindering efforts for peace in the warring country.
Jordan’s involvement here is more strategic: According to an organizer who spoke to Der Spiegel, "The Jordanian intelligence services want to prevent Salafists (radical Islamists) crossing from their own country into Syria and then returning later to stir up trouble in Jordan itself.”
While Jordan, with the help of the Western states, is supporting the Syrian rebels, who are mainly comprised of a Sunni Muslim majority, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have also been accused of arming the rebels.
On the other hand, Russia, Iran and Lebanon have been widely believed to be supporting Assad’s regime, which is comprised of Shias and Alawites.
With conflicting involvement pouring in from all sides into Syria, it is nearly impossible to find a way to stop the civil war. While it is difficult to sit back and watch thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians die, it also must be realized that providing aid in the terms of lethal and non-lethal weapons and training soldiers is not going to put an end to the violence or stop more innocent deaths from occurring. In fact, it may just lead to more devastation.
A more pro-active solution must be taken — one that involves more talks and fewer weapons. Moreover, security must be provided to both sides — the Sunni majority and the Shia minority — in order for any semblance of stability to be long-term. | <urn:uuid:c0909c0f-4642-4245-802c-b50062a495bb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mic.com/articles/29347/u-s-training-syrian-rebels-a-step-in-the-wrong-direction | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.9755 | 707 | 2.078125 | 2 |

- Greenhouse gases effects are a leading contributor to climate change; reducing harmful effects of these gases is important for future generations. Worldwide, household consumption makes up seventy-two percent of greenhouse gas emissions, followed by government consumption at ten percent, and investments at eighteen percent (Hertwich, 2009). In order to understand the significance of greenhouse gases, their link to climate change, and the role carbon footprint has on future neutrality goals, this project used literature research and survey techniques to address two objectives: (1) Establish a framework for the adaptation of a carbon footprint calculator to help gauge progress of OSU to its goal of campus neutrality by 2025; (2) Analyze carbon footprint data collected from a small community in Panama as a point of comparison for carbon consumption at OSU. First, I selected a calculator to adapt to OSU needs. Extensive reviews from various sources and a comparison between leading carbon footprint calculators demonstrated commonalities and differences between them. In addition, OSU carbon consumption was analyzed and utilized to create visuals that represented the severity of OSU‘s carbon consumption. In order to analyze the carbon footprint data collected from a small community in Panama a survey was used to collect information on key factors of carbon induced activities such as electricity consumption and transportation. Seventy-five people were surveyed, comprising five percent of local Guadalupe residents.
Through analysis of different carbon footprint calculators, Santa Clara University carbon footprint calculator was chosen as the framework of the calculator used for adaptation for OSU based on their methodology and open access. Carbon consumption data at OSU estimated that emission for fiscal year 2012 was 126,815 tons eCO₂ (CO₂ equivalents) with a population size of 29,129. At 1 atm, this volume of CO₂ is equivalent to a sphere 506 m in diameter or a cube that is 407.8 m on an edge with a volume of 67.8 million m3 (Carbon Visuals, 2013). Comparing this to local Oregon State University landmarks the sphere is equivalent in height to 7 Reser Stadiums stacked on top of one another or 24 OSU Bell Towers, or even 28 MU Buildings. The per capita amount averages to be 4.35 tons of eCO₂ per OSU resident per year.
Analysis using Carbon Footprint Calculator, LTD for the Panama study case indicated that while Panama reached the worldwide objective rate to fight climate change of 2.0 metric tons eCO₂ per person per year; Guadalupe did not meet this goal. Results indicate that the average rate of metric tons of carbon emissions for local residents of Guadalupe was 3.71 metrics tons of eCO₂ per person per year. This was compared to Panama‘s average rate of 1.74 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year and the objective rate to combat climate change of 2 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year. Furthermore, this is different from the worldwide average of 4 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year and the average rate for residents of the United States of 20.4 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year. Four percent of Guadalupe residents are in the average Panamanian range, five percent are between average consumption for Panamanian resident and the worldwide objective to fight climate change, and fifty-eight percent surpassed the objective but are under the world average, while thirty-three percent are above the average worldwide but are under industrial nation averages. The study showed that although Guadalupe has an average consumption of below 4 metric tons, it does not meet the goal of 2 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year to combat climate change. However, because Panama overall has reached 1.74 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year it is on track to combat climate change. Furthermore, this means that for every U.S. resident that consumes eCO₂, they consume 5-fold more eCO₂ per year than a Guadalupe resident. OSU with an average of 4.35 metric tons of eCO₂ per person per year is above worldwide consumption average of 4 metric tons per person per year. This amount may be underestimated due to additional factors that were not included in the calculated amount of eCO₂ emitted by OSU provided by the Office of Sustainability. Factors such as extracurricular activities, population inconsistencies with students off campus, online, and those that participate within less than full time status may all affect the average estimated. Thusly, while OSU may seem only slightly above Guadalupe average consumption it may be far more than projected.
The goal of this study was to create a carbon footprint calculator framework for future use and application on line. This could also benefit the Corvallis population and with additional adjustments it may be beneficial for future researchers and universities for adaptation.

The legal system in Australia needs to learn from psychologists or risk inflicting grave injustices on child sex assault victims, the chair of the child sexual abuse royal commission says.
In a keynote address in Auckland to the 14th Australasian Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect on Tuesday, Justice Peter McClellan will say judges are working off what they thought they knew about how “genuine complainants” behaved and how memory works.
“Assumptions that turned out, with the benefit of empirical research, to be erroneous,” he says.
He will trace the historical legal approach to sex assault cases and cite relatively recent warnings by judges about delayed reporting affecting credibility and the fallible nature of human recollection making evidence about childhood events particularly susceptible to error.
Justice McClellan says these legal propositions were put without a scientific source, yet they became embedded in the fabric of the common law and proved difficult even for parliament to dislodge.

How do we find out how many grams there are in a whole kilogram? How do we go from kilograms to grams? We’ll find out! The aim is to help your child understand this maths concept that they’ll need to know for their SATs exams (and in general, their maths classes going all the way to GCSE).
We will be learning about the relationship between different metric units used for measuring mass. Including kg and g. We’ll make sure we have a solid understanding of how to go from one to the other, and then we’ll apply it to some real-life scenarios.

Recently, the dark website display mode has gained popularity among users all over the world. The number of subscribers is so large that Google is currently offering you the “Night Eye” feature that allows you to use Dark Mode on any website as long as you are using Google Chrome as your browser.
However, its popularity is still growing as many web mobile development use this new design feature exclusively to give users a different experience than traditional web designs.
According to a recent report from Built With, approximately 1,028 websites have used Dark Theme to attract customers, 340 of which are active websites, while 688 websites have used Dark Theme in the past. In addition, Get Polarized recently conducted surveys on various social media platforms to understand user preferences for dark mode or dark themed interfaces.
It turned out that most of the users gave an overwhelming response and agreed that the change was noticeable. With this information in mind, let’s take a quick look at some of the main reasons why dark mode web brand design are becoming increasingly popular.
1) Adopted by the technology giants:
To consider Google the ancestor of dark mode would be too biased. In fact, many of the early PCs with monochrome CRT monitors displayed greenish text on black screens, but recently it was Windows Phone 7 that reintroduced dark themes and backgrounds in 2010.
Right now we have major tech giants and popular areas that have actively embraced “Night Mode”, giving customers and their users the flexibility to change their display preferences at will.
These include big names like Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, Samsung’s One UI, Apple iPad and iOS 13, and Android 10’s shadow mode, to name a few.
2) Influenced by developers and programmers:
While dark mode is becoming more popular with users lately, people seldom realize that program developers and programmers who design UI among other things have long been working on this topic.
In fact, this dark mode design was the standard look for most coding text editors. In fact, some of the most popular coding text editors like Atom, Sublime Text, Brackets, and Visual Studio Code use dark themes.
Hence, it’s pretty easy to see why programmers and developers can influence this transformation from this perspective. Additionally, according to a recent study published by Medium.com, over 70% of software developers use dark-theme IDEs, and dark-theme downloads are almost always in the top 10 themes based on general demand.
3) Friendly to users’ eyes:
It seems that biology is at play when the preferences of dark subjects are further explored based on their effect on users and their eyes. The mechanics are simple. When we see plain text on a dark screen, the iris of our eyes becomes charged. It needs to be enlarged much more than a white screen.
Therefore, in the dark display mode, the pupil of our eyes enlarges, which requires more effort to focus on things.
This is confirmed by statistics on astigmatism, a condition that affects nearly 33% of the American population. At the same time, however, dark mode is best when the reader of a device has poor lighting conditions and does not prefer not to read large chunks of text.
4) The boldness of text or just mood:
While the argument for using dark text on light backgrounds is pretty strong, the argument that it makes the experience more difficult for some is also true. This is because most users spend their days staring at bright white screens, which can cause digital eye strain.
Digital eye strain is defined as a group of vision problems that result from prolonged use of a cell phone, computer, e-reader, or tablet, to name a few. As a result, many users find the change much more acceptable and pleasant. This allows them to sink into the dark and protect themselves from the brilliant white light that makes people feel like they are looking directly into the sun.
While the dark theme doesn’t make the text bold, there are times when it provokes the opposite reaction when the letters are bleeding, the dark mode is more of a mood than just a function. According to the results of a recent survey on Medium, around 82.7% of respondents said they prefer to use dark mode on their devices.
5) Less battery consumption:
During the Android Developer Summit 2018, one of Google’s solutions for developers to reduce battery consumption was to introduce the dark user interface. Google researcher claims that night mode can save drums.
That finding is shared in a story published by XDA Developers that claims that a dark theme can reduce battery consumption on AMOLED displays by up to 63%, even at maximum brightness. In addition, you should take into account that white pixels consume more power and brightness has a linear effect on both power consumption and battery life. | <urn:uuid:1eb9dc4a-d3d5-403c-b985-f50f43bcbb68> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.popularwrite.com/why-dark-mode-web-designs-are-becoming-more-and-more-popular/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.944662 | 995 | 1.867188 | 2 |
LONDON: The inflation picture is hugely concerning but the British government has confidence in the Bank of England to get it right, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Simon Clarke said on Monday.
British inflation surged last month to its highest annual rate since 1982, pressuring finance minister Rishi Sunak to offer more help to households and the Bank of England to keep raising interest rates despite a risk of recession.
“The inflation picture is what is hugely concerning and is making waves across both America and Europe as well.
And that’s because this is a truly global problem,“ Clarke told LBC Radio.
“We absolutely have confidence in the independent Bank of England to get this right and it’s vitally important that we don’t compromise their independence.” | <urn:uuid:ee4a5aa6-d126-4309-a559-f444ea6f3131> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40174995/inflation-picture-is-concerning-british-junior-finance-minister-says | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.955324 | 161 | 1.804688 | 2 |
What causes peritoneal mesothelioma? The answer is clear cut, it is only caused by exposure to asbestos, a microscopic natural fiber that was used heavily in industry. Asbestos is said to reach the abdominal wall by one of two methods. The first is through ingested asbestos fibers which are processed through digestion and become lodged in the peritoneum. The other method is through the lungs and lymph nodes, by inhaled asbestos fibers.Malignant mesothelioma of the pleura is also known to metastasize directly into the abdominal cavity if its spread is not slowed.
Many of those who have worked with asbestos materials have developed peritoneal mesothelioma as a result of exposure to friable asbestos fibers. Asbestos was used in myriad industrial materials and construction products. Exposure to asbestos was common in aluminum plants, steel mills, power plants, and naval shipyards.
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a relatively rare disease, with only 200-500 diagnoses each year in the United States being documented. Risk however, is sustained in those who have been exposed to asbestos. Even those exposed many years ago are potentially at risk for the development of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Latency between exposure to asbestos and the development of peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms can be anywhere from 20-50 years. Misdiagnosis is also common because peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms closely mimic minor stomach/abdominal discomfort and hernia. Nevertheless, those with clear asbestos exposure history should be aware of the disease and speak with their doctor or cancer specialist if they believe they may be experiencing symptoms related to mesothelioma. | <urn:uuid:9bad83db-3f32-4980-ae1d-b6f863428701> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.peritonealmesotheliomawiki.info/what-causes-peritoneal-mesothelioma/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.955443 | 349 | 3.296875 | 3 |

Race organisers try to provide runners with things like post-race snacks and space blankets to enhance their race experience but also to reduce the risks of competing in these conditions. Over the years it has become standard practice for runners to receive a reflective blanket at the finish line to reduce cooling in cold temperatures and overheating in hot or sunny weather. But do these blankets really help?
When making decisions about what to do to keep runners safe, medical directors look to best practice as shown through science and in published literature. But there is almost nothing published about whether giving out reflective blankets to marathon finishers is in any way helpful. Current literature overwhelmingly documents the use of reflective blankets in hospitals.
‘Space’ blankets were first used in space because of their insulating properties – hence their name. Claims that ‘space blankets’ reflect up to 90% of a person’s body heat and can be flipped to deflect heat from external heat sources suggest they would also be a logical choice to help the endurance runner.
As endurance athletes compete their metabolic system produces kinetic energy to propel themselves through muscular contraction. But the process is very inefficient: 75% of this kinetic energy is lost as heat. During a marathon dissipating heat is essential to maintaining an appropriate core temperature in the athlete.
There are two ways an athlete can lose heat: wet heat loss is from the evaporation of sweat and is the main way that the body dissipates heat during metabolism, accounting for up to 50% of heat dissipation; ‘Dry cooling’ is effected through convection and radiation.
It is easy to understand why reflective blankets are used in controlled operative environments where the patient is stationary and can be wrapped. A race environment is entirely different. Literature yields no data suggesting that reflective blankets can help to warm you. Based on human physiology and science one would think that the warming effect would be minimal for several obvious reasons:
1. Runners are still sweating when they cross the finish line which maintains a significant evaporative cooling effect.
2. Runners are typically still moving while wearing the reflective blankets which increases the convective cooling effect.
3. Runners do not fully wrap themselves but more often wear the blanket like a superhero cape which diminishes its reflective properties.
4. Runners may not wear the blanket with the reflective side inward (lessening the reflective warming effects).
In hot, humid environments a reflective blanket could increase core body temperature (CBT). A 2015 study suggests this is not the case. It compared the effects of CBT cooling rates in four post-exercise conditions: no blanket, blanket, recovery walking with blanket, and recovery walking with no blanket. The researchers attempted to bring the core temperatures of the participants up to a temperature that is commonly seen in endurance running and then tracked cooling rates. They found ‘no significant differences in CBT cooling rates that would have been caused specifically by the reflective blankets.’ There was also no evidence that the use of reflective blankets prolonged the cooling periods of runners.
There is no current research to support the use of reflective blankets as warming aids in a race setting. Speculation seems to have guided decision making rather than letting science be a guide. The distribution of reflective blankets could even be counter-productive through giving runners a false sense of security, leading them to take longer to leave the race finish chutes. This could lead to increased hypothermic effects through prolonged evaporative and conductive cooling effects.

The spatiotemporal dynamics of lung cancer: 30-year trends of epidemiology across 204 countries and territories
BMC Public Health volume 22, Article number: 987 (2022)
It has been established that lung cancer is the leading cause of all cancer deaths. This study sought to analyze the epidemiological trends of lung cancer over the past 30 years worldwide.
Estimates, including the global, regional, national prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) of lung cancer from 1990 to 2019, were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics in cases and age-standardized rates (ASR). The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to evaluate the variation in ASR. Besides, estimates of age-sex specific prevalence, decomposition analysis for incident cases, and correlation analysis of the EAPC were conducted in our study.
Globally, the ASR of lung cancer prevalence, incidence and YLDs in 2019 were 38.84/100,000 persons, 27.66/100,000 persons, and 6.62/100,000 persons, respectively. Over the past 30 years, the ASR of incidence (EAPC = -0.09) decreased, although that of prevalence (EAPC = 0.51) and YLDs (EAPC = 0.03) increased. The global prevalence counts was greater in males than females at all age groups and increased with age, peaking in the 65–69 age group for both sexes. The increase in incidence was mainly attributed to population aging. For YLDs, EAPC was negatively correlated with the human development index (p = 0.0008) and ASR (p < 0.0001) in 1990 across nation-level units.
Lung cancer remains a major public health issue globally, warranting the implementation of scientific and effective measures in different countries and territories to control it.
Lung cancer remains the leading cancer killer, with 1,796,144 deaths reported in 2020, accounting for about 18% of all cancer deaths globally . Most patients who suffered from advanced lung cancer ultimately experience local invasion and metastatic disease , which are often accompanied by heavy financial burden and poor quality of life . Given the fatality and disability rates, more resources and emphasis should be placed on lung cancer. Accordingly, fully understanding the burden of lung cancer has significant value for implementing targeted therapeutic and protective programs, and facilitates the optimal allocation of limited resources.
The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) provides an overview of the burden from major diseases, injuries and risk factors to health at global, national and regional levels [4,5,6]. In this study, we sought to analyze the prevalence, incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of lung cancer from the GBD 2019, and evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of lung cancer by analyzing the trends from 1990 to 2019 at the global, regional, and national levels. Our findings can be a supplement and an extension to existing studies , and provide the foothold to guide global-, regional-and national-specific health care plans for lung cancer.
The prevalence, incidence and YLDs of lung cancer by year, sex and location, were acquired from the GBD 2019 [4,5,6], which made a systematic analysis of disease burden to all World Health Organization (WHO) member states, including a comprehensive assessment on 87 risk factors, 369 diseases and injuries from 1990 to 2019 in 204 countries and territories . Estimates were available from 204 countries and territories, which were grouped into 21 GBD regions, such as East Asia. Furthermore, the globe was divided into five regions based on the sociodemographic index (SDI), a comprehensive indicator that estimates total fertility rate, lag-distributed income per capita, and average educational attainment population over age 15 years .
Previous studies have reported methodological details for the GBD 2019 and assessments of disease burden in lung cancer [5, 7]. The prevalence was quartered into different cancer phases: the diagnosis or treatment stage, the remission stage, the metastatic or disseminated stage and the terminal stage. The Cause of Death Ensemble model (CODEm) was used to estimate fatal lung cancer mortality. Once the final mortality estimates were obtained, the incidence of lung cancer was calculated according to the mortality-to-incidence ratio. YLDs, a scientific indicator representing the nonfatal disability, were calculated by multiplying each health state prevalence by the health state disability weight.
Data identification and retrieval
Lung cancer was identified using the International Classification of Diseases codes, Tenth Revision and Ninth Revision (ICD-10 and ICD-9, respectively). Diseases coded as C33, C34–C34.92, Z12.2, Z80.1–Z80.2, Z85.1–Z85.20 in the ICD-10 and 162–162.9, 209.21, V10.1–V10.20, V16.1–V16.2, V16.4–V16.40 in the ICD-9 were attributed to lung cancer in the present study . The following information about lung cancer were retrieved from the GBD 2019 (http://ghdx.healthdata.org/gbd-resultstool): population, prevalence, incidence, and YLDs by age and sex at the global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2019. In addition, we searched the World Bank for human development index (HDI), a measure used by the United Nations, consisting of three components: life expectancy, average income per person, and level of education .
In addition to the absolute number and rate/100,000 persons, we also applied the age-standardized rate (ASR)/100,000 persons, including age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized YLDs rate (ASYR), given the heterogeneity in the age structure of population. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to estimate the amplitude of ASR variations during the given period. The EAPC and its 95% confidence interval (CI) could also be calculated from a linear model that determined the logarithm of the ASR, that is, y = α + βx + ε. The ASR exhibited a downward or upward trend when the EAPC was less or greater than 0, respectively .
After classifying into 20 different age groups, the crude number and prevalence rates were collected to analyze the age-and sex-specific patterns for males and females in 2019. In addition, to explore the roles of population growth, population aging and changes in lung cancer burden per capita on the change in total lung cancer incidence cases, a decomposition analysis was performed by (1) applying the 1990 age-specific rates to the age structures and total population in 2019, and (2) applying the age-specific rates and age structures in 1990 to 2019 population size . Furthermore, to assess the effect factors for the EAPC, we comprehensively analyzed the correlation of EAPC in ASYR with HDI and ASYR at the national level. All statistics and visualizations were generated by R software version 3.6.3 and GraphPad Prism 7. A p-value < 0.05 was statistically significant.
Lung cancer prevalence
Globally, a total of 3,212,307 patients sufferd from lung cancer in 2019, a 1.32-fold increase from 1990 (1,385,579), while the ASPR increased marginally from 1990 to 2019 (28.39/100,000 persons vs. 38.84/100,000 persons, EAPC = 0.51) (Table 1 and Fig. 1).
In 2019, low SDI regions had the lowest absolute number (45,593) and ASR (8.47/100,000 persons) of lung cancer prevalence, with the highest absolute number (1,250,089) and ASR (68.54/100,000 persons) in high SDI regions. Furthermore, the number of lung cancer patients increased in all SDI regions, with the largest increase in middle SDI regions (2.52-fold), while the ASPR only decreased in high-middle SDI regions (EAPC = -0.49) from 1990 to 2019 (Table 1 and Fig. 1). Among 21 GBD regions, East Asia (1,163,481), high-income North America (499,571) and Western Europe (466,299) exhibited the highest prevalent cases in 2019. Meanwhile, the highest ASPR was observed in high-income North America (80.37/100,000 persons), followed by high-income Asia Pacific (74.32/100,000 persons), Australasia (58.50/100,000 persons) and Western Europe (57.24/100,000 persons). Over the past 30 years, the most significant increase in lung cancer patients (3.03-fold) was observed in East Asia, with the highest EAPC of ASPR (1.97) in Southern Latin America (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
Among 204 countries and territories, Monaco (119.00/100,000 persons), Greenland (82.90/100,000 persons), and Canada (81.97/100,000 persons) had the largest ASPR (Additional file 1: Table S1, Additional file 2: Fig. S1A), with the greatest prevalent cases in China (1,137,880), United States of America (444,083), and Japan (253,321) in 2019 (Additional file 1: Table S1, Additional file 2: Fig. S1B). During the study, the temporal trends of lung cancer ASPR exhibited significant heterogeneity worldwide, with the largest increase in South Korea (EAPC = 3.40) and the greatest decrease in Kyrgyzstan (EAPC = -2.76) (Additional file 1: Table S1, and Fig. 3). Lung cancer patients increased in approximately 95.59% of all countries, and the most remarkable increase was noticed in the United Arab Emirates (8.43-fold), Qatar (7.37-fold) and Republic of Korea (6.29-fold) (Additional file 1: Table S1, Additional file 2: Fig. S1C).
Lung cancer incidence
In 2019, there were 2,259,998 newly diagnosed lung cancer patients with an ASIR of 27.66/100,000 persons worldwide (Table 1 and Fig. 1). Over the past 30 years, lung cancer cases increased in almost all 21 GBD regions, with the highest increase recorded in East Asia (2.22-fold), followed by South Asia (1.79-fold) and Oceania (1.60-fold), and only decreased in Eastern Europe (-0.17-fold) and Central Asia (-0.01-fold). High-income North America (44.96/100,000 persons) and Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa (7.03/100,000 persons) showed the maximum and minimum value of ASIR in 2019, respectively. In addition, the most significant decrease in ASIR was observed in Central Asia (EAPC = -1.52), followed by Eastern Europe (EAPC = -1.23) and high-income North America (EAPC = -0.89) (Table 1 and Fig. 2). The absolute number of lung cancer cases increased across the five SDI quintiles from 1990 to 2019. However, the ASIR exhibited different trends in all SDI regions over time, decreasing in low, high-middle and high SDI regions, and increasing in low-middle and middle SDI regions. Furthermore, the high SDI regions had the largest cases (709,218) and ASIR (37.36/100,000 persons) in 2019. In contrast, the low SDI regions exhibited the lowest cases (40,765) and ASIR (8.07/100,000 persons) (Table 1 and Fig. 1).
The incidence of lung cancer was heterogeneous across countries. In 2019, almost 36.85% of newly diagnosed lung cancer cases were detected in China (832,922), followed by the United States (254,808) and Japan (116,798) (Additional file 1: Table S2, Additional file 2: Fig. S2A). From 1990 to 2019, the most significant rise and decline were observed in the United Arab Emirates (7.73-fold) and Ukraine (-0.35-fold), respectively (Additional file 1: Table S2, Additional file 2: Fig. S2B). Moreover, the largest ASIR was recorded in Greenland (77.71 per 100,000), followed by Monaco (75.57 per 100,000) and Montenegro (56.72 per 100,000) (Additional file 1: Table S2, Additional file 2: Fig. S2C). In addition, Honduras (EAPC = 1.81) and Kyrgyzstan (EAPC = -2.68) showed the largest increase and decrease in the ASIR during the same period, respectively (Additional file 1: Table S2, and Fig. 3).
Lung cancer YLDs
The largest YLDs attributable to lung cancer in 2019 were observed in China (199,352), followed by the United States (61,843) and Japan (32,090) (Additional file 1: Table S3, Additional file 2: Fig. S3A). The United Arab Emirates showed the most significant increase from 1990 to 2019 (7.99-fold) (Additional file 1: Table S3, Additional file 2: Fig. S3B). In 2019, the ASYR varied considerably around the globe, from 1.29/100,000 persons in Ethiopia to 18.75/100,000 persons in Monaco (Additional file 1: Table S3, Additional file 2: Fig. S3C). Throughout the study period, the ASYR decreased in approximately half of all countries, with the largest decrease noticed in Kyrgyzstan (EAPC = -2.67), followed by Bahrain (EAPC = -2.48) and Kazakhstan (EAPC = -2.37) (Additional file 1: Table S3, and Fig. 3).
Among the five SDI regions, the YLDs ranged widely in 2019, from 10,413 in low SDI regions to 177,980 in high SDI regions, while middle SDI regions exhibited the most significant change (2.1-fold) over time. However, the ASYR decreased in high SDI regions (EAPC = -0.25) from 1990 to 2019 (Table 1 and Fig. 1). Across the 21 GBD regions, the decrease in lung cancer YLDs was noticed in Eastern Europe (-0.14-fold) and Central Asia (-0.01-fold), with the highest increase in East Asia (2.33-fold). Besides, the largest increase in lung cancer ASYR was observed in East Asia (EAPC = 1.26), with the greatest decrease in Central Asia (EAPC = -1.56) and Eastern Europe (EAPC = -1.10) (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
Globally, YLDs associated with lung cancer increased 1.07-fold from 262,763 in 1990 to 544,215 in 2019. Meanwhile, the ASYR increased from 6.56/100,000 persons in 1990 to 6.62/100,000 persons in 2019 (EAPC = 0.03) (Table 1 and Fig. 1).
Age-sex patterns of prevalence
In 2019, lung cancer predominantly affected males, and the prevalence counts increased with age, peaking in the 65–69 age group for both genders worldwide. Meanwhile, the prevalence rate peaked in the 85–89 age group for males and the 75–79 age group for females. Similar to the global lung cancer prevalence, significantly fewer female patients were affected than males in all SDI quintiles, although age-sex patterns of prevalent estimates differed significantly. In high SDI regions, the prevalence rate peaked in the 80–84 age group for males and 70–74 age group for females, and the prevalence counts peaked in the 70–74 age group for both genders. In low SDI regions, the prevalence counts and rates peaked in the 60–64 and 70–74 age groups for both genders, respectively (Fig. 4).
Decomposition analysis for incidence
A 101.07% increase was observed in the global incidence counts of lung cancer over the past three decades, of which 44.63% was attributed to population growth and 64.36% to population aging, despite a -7.92% decrease in per capita burden of lung cancer. Among the five SDI regions, the increment in incident cases was tightly correlated to population growth in low SDI regions, and population aging played a prominent role in the other SDI regions, while high SDI regions showed the largest decrease in per capita burden of lung cancer (Fig. 5).
Correlation evaluation about YLDs
As shown in Fig. 6A and B, the EAPC of ASYR was correlated with HDI (1990) and ASYR (1990). The HDI in 1990 could reflect the level and effectiveness of the health care system for every country, and the ASYR attributable to lung cancer in 1990 could reflect the disease reservoir at baseline. As expected, countries with lower HDI in 1990 experienced a more rapid increase in ASYR attributable to lung cancer from 1990 to 2019 (r = -0.28, p = 0.0008). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between EAPC and ASYR in 1990 (r = -0.3347, p < 0.0001).
The present study sought to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of lung cancer during the past 30 years. We found that prevalence, incidence and YLDs varied significantly across 204 countries and territories. According to age-sex patterns of prevalence, male patients suffered more from lung cancer than females. Through the decomposition analysis, it was found that population aging contributed mainly to the lung cancer incidence. Furthermore, the EAPC of ASYR was significantly correlated with ASYR and HDI in 1990 across nation-level units.
Globally, lung cancer prevalence and YLDs have increased significantly over the past 30 years from 1990 to 2019. In addition, there was no decreasing trend globally, as well as in the vast majority of countries and regions, even after age standardization, which may be attributed to the following reasons.
First, tobacco use is well-established as one of the biggest threats to public health and an important risk factor for lung cancer , with high consumption worldwide, especially in developing countries, where it has a significant impact . It is widely acknowledged that over one-third of the world's smokers live in China, which is home to more than one-fifth of the world's population , this could explain why China had the largest number of lung cancer patients in our study. Moreover, environmental deterioration and ecological destruction have become a global problem given the current breathtaking pace of globalization and modernization, such as air pollution. Over the years, epidemiological studies have shown that the increased lung cancer risk could be attributed to air pollution, especially exposure to particulate matter [16, 17]. Besides, the risk of indoor and occupational exposure is reportedly elevated in the context of industrialization and urbanization. As per WHO estimates, more than 107,000 people die each year from lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis resulting from exposure to asbestos in the workplace . Furthermore, mortality rates have improved due to the unprecedented medical progress and scientific development achieved in recent years, such as advancements in surgical techniques and nonsurgical treatments, which mainly include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immune checkpoint blockade, and oncogene-targeted therapy .
Analysis of the age–sex patterns showed that lung cancer was more common in males than females at global and regional levels. Smoking, occupational risks, particulate matter pollution, and exposure to carcinogens have been reported to account for the difference in prevalence between sexes [20,21,22]. In this regard, it has been reported that on average, 14.4% and 11.7% of men and women are daily tobacco users, respectively, according to the Estimated Lung Cancer Statistics in the United States for 2021 . Interestingly, the current evidence suggests that upregulation of glycolysis promotes the proliferation of cancerous cells [23, 24]. Men have higher blood sugar levels than women, resulting in the disproportionate cancer risk between sexes . In addition, it has been documented that immune-mediated recognition and clearance of infectious mediators associated with cancer vary between men and women, which may contribute to sex disparities in disease burden [26, 27]. It has been established that the immune response in men is less robust than that in women [28, 29], which may be attributed to a certain extent to the capacity of low levels of oestrogen to fuel the production of the acute inflammatory agents, such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor [30,31,32].
From 1990 to 2019, the global incident cases of lung cancer have escalated, with a 101.07% increase over the past three decades, mirroring the rise in prevalence. Moreover, relative to changes in the age-specific incidence rates, population growth and especially population aging, are the primary contributing factors to the growth in lung cancer incident cases, according to decomposition analysis. It likely explains that ASIR, an index after age standardization for incidence, has fallen over the past decades. Besides, the largest decline in per capita burden of lung cancer was observed in high SDI regions, where more resources are dedicated to implementing early detection and treatment, and strong preventive initiatives are adopted, including tobacco taxation and control of environmental risk factors.
Furthermore, we found that the temporal trend in ASYR—that is, the EAPC—from 1990 to 2019 was significantly negatively correlated with HDI in 1990. Possible explanations for this observation are as follows: (1) people in countries with lower HDI were more likely to be exposed to risk factors, such as smoking, ambient fine particles, radon and asbestos; (2) countries with higher baseline HDI provided better protective and preventive measures. As expected, a significant negative correlation was found between EAPC and ASYR in 1990. This finding may be attributed to the fact that countries with high ASYR consider lung cancer screening a top priority in their disease control guidelines due to the significant economic and social burden of this cancer at that time. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the higher the baseline ASYR, the more difficult it is to control fluctuations in the ASYR.
Our study was based on estimates from the GBD 2019, which aims to improve analytical strategies and increase the amount of high-quality data [5, 33,34,35]. However, there were some limitations in our study. Indeed, the quality and quantity of estimates available from the GBD study were crucial for the accuracy of our estimates. For instance, the disease burden could not be assessed in countries and territories lacking a well-established and organized architecture to register, record and report diseases. Moreover, the GBD 2019 did not estimate the burden of small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer [36, 37], which prevented us from performing a more detailed analysis of lung cancer. Future studies should address these limitations to deepen our understanding of the overall disease burden.
The ASIR of lung cancer has decreased from 1990 to 2019 globally, although a concomitant increase in ASPR and ASYR was observed. Besides, male patients were significantly more affected. The increase in incidence is mainly attributed to population aging. Additionally, the EAPC of ASYR was negatively correlated with HDI and ASYR in 1990. Differences in geographic and country-specific population characteristics emphasize the need for targeted strategies to reduce the lung cancer burden.

When a person does a search online for a local business that completes a certain type of job, they expect to find a list of all of the businesses in their area that do that job. The one who is completing an online search expects to find the websites of all of the local businesses that might be able to help them. SEO services help a business come up in the results for someone who lives in their area. Search engine optimisation services help a business be found by someone who might end up using their services over and over again.
A new business can benefit from SEO services because it needs to make sure that its website is showing up to all who might be interested in what it offers. A new business is not going to be talked about among people in the same way that an older business is. A new business is not going to receive customers through word of mouth. A new business needs to make sure that its website is not only showing up in search engine results but that it is also ranking fairly high up in those results so that people will notice it. Search engine optimisation services can help with the rankings of the website of a new business.
Those who are seeking search engine optimisation services need to be willing to invest some of their money in order to get good services so that they will end up showing up well in search engines. If someone is going to pay for keyword content for their website, they need to make sure that the content is done well. SEO help should come from those who have proven that they know how to get a website and business the attention that is needed. | <urn:uuid:4e8fafe6-aa90-4852-b06d-850a7d63ac16> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.jazillian.com/using-seo-help-to-better-a-business/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.981222 | 320 | 1.726563 | 2 |

Safe energy supply also depends on a balancing the electricity system. A number of generation and demand options offer balancing services today. From a technical point of view, wind power plants could already contribute to these services but in most cases the markets are not well-suited for the participation of renewable energy technologies. This is why WindEurope has developed the industry’s “ten commandments” for better procurement rules and pricing system. As a general principle, all generators should have the right – but not the obligation – to participate as well as receive adequate remuneration.

CONSORTIA – Transforming minds, Translating Ideas-An Intercollegiate Biotechnology Fest organized by the Biotechnology Department of Pillai College
CONSORTIA – The Intercollegiate Biotechnology fest was organized by the Department of Biotechnology and Biotechnology Association for the UG and PG students of Biotechnology on 18th February, 2020 in the campus of Pillai college, New Panvel. The fest was organized with the goal of providing a platform to the students of biotechnology for exchanging ideas and showcasing their extraordinary talents and skills. The events were organized with an aim to inculcate research culture in the young minds, helping them to create their own learning experiences and innovations, just as scientists do in the real world.
The program unfolded with the inauguration by the Chief Guest for the event-Dr. Mansee Thakur, I/c Director & Asso. Prof. (Biotechnology). MGM School of Biomedical Sciences, Navi Mumbai. She has completed her PhD in Medical Biotechnology and has been associated with MGM Institute of Health Sciences since the past 10 years as the Head of the Department for M.Sc. Medical Biotechnology. Currently her thrust area of research is to develop a handheld MGM-TB Detection System (MGM-TBDS) in service of India and is actively working to understand the mechanisms and toxicity studies for various nanoparticles.
The program was set in motion by the first event that was organized which was called ‘Catch Phrase’. In this event, the students had to participate in a pair where one participant reads a name, phrase or process and the other participant in the pair will try to guess the clue. The twist was introduced when it was told that the conveyor could use all other words than the actual name, phrase or process. This game took all the brainstorming one could put in.
The next event organized was called ‘Picsophilic’. In this game, the participating students would be tested on their photography and creative skills. The theme given was ‘FRIENDSHIP’. The students had to participate individually, and a theme or topic would be disclosed to them then and there. The participants had to click pictures that best depicted or described the topic given and they would be judged on the showcasing of their skills. The Judge for the Event was Mrs. Akshata Narkar who has a master’s degree in mass communication and Journalism and used to work as a Project Manager in an advertising firm before she took teaching to be her full-time profession.
The third program organized was called as ‘Biorangoli’. The students had participated in pairs and had to make and present their Rangoli on the theme given to them on an area allotted consized to 1m×1m. This could be put as the most artistic, innovative and creative event for the day as the themes given to them were Ecology and Physiology. The judge for this event was Prof. Vidya Mohd who has completed her M.Sc. in Biotechnology from the Department of Life Sciences, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon and has a teaching experience of almost 12 years. She was the Coordinator for the Department of Biotechnology in Vispute College for 2 years and is currently working as the Vice Principal in Vispute College.
The fourth event for the day was ‘Labathon’ in which also a team of two students had to participate and were given different Laboratory based tasks which had to be completed one after the other. The team which manages to complete all the tasks with perfect technique in the shortest possible time would be declared as the winners of the task. Here, all the years of hard work and technique perfection of the students was put to test.
The final event for the day was ‘Luck Ladder’ in which the event was even more amusing than what its name suggests. Here, the students had to participate in a team of three people. This game could be called as ‘A twisted version of Snakes and Ladders’ as each step consists of a twist in the form of a question. One player from each group would perform on the field and not more than a minute would be given to each contestant to answer the questions. If the question had not been answered, a task was given to the group to perform which could be nicknamed as ‘lifelines’ in the game. After the number 70 on the board, the option of lifelines was taken away and all that was left was answering the asked questions. A ladder would take you ahead without a question and a snake would take you down from wherever you stood. The first team to reach the number 100 would win the game.
After the concluding of all these games, the students that had participated and won were rewarded with certificates and cash prize. That’s how another beautiful and fruitful day had come to its end.

Puglia, which takes up most of the heel and toe of Italy, is one of my favourite regions of Italy. I love the food and the independent spirit of the people. It is also a great place for a holiday. The countryside is extremely varied and the history fascinating and though there are plenty of interesting places to stay it is not overrun with tourists as is so much of northern and central Italy.
Sometime known as “the table of Italy” parts of northern Puglia are very flat. Here vast fields of grain lie alongside the olive groves, vineyards, and farms growing tomatoes and an array of other vegetables. It is particularly important in the production of Italian olive oil, accounting for a large proportion of the total crop. Much of the olive oil production in here is small scale. It has been estimated that there are around 800 olive presses north of Bari serving the many local farmers. Traditionally it has been easier for them to sell to the big packers rather than try to market their own oils. The emphasis was on quantity rather than quality. However, things are changing as the emphasis moves toward quality oils and quite a few small producers are beginning to commercialise their own oils.
One of the focal points for olive oil in northern Puglia is the town of San Servero sometimes known as the “Citta del Olio”. It is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards and even the latter are utilised by the olive farmers. Olive trees have been planted round the perimeters of the vineyards and along each side of the little roads that run through the vines and up to the farms. The most interesting olive variety in this area is Peranzano. Look out for this variety on line; it produces quite a robust oil with very herbaceous tones and a touch of tomatoes on the vine.
Driving east from here you will arrive at the Gargano Peninsula with its range of mountains, dropping down to the Adriatic. The olive groves here are said to be hundreds of years old and they look quite different to the tidy rows of trees round San Severo. They remind me of the fairy tale forests of my childhood stories with ancient gnarled trees growing in wild profusion. The groves, mainly planted with Ogliaolo olives, are to be found on the western slopes if the mountains facing away from the sea. The rest of the land is very barren with rocky outcrops and low lying scrub oak.
The Gargano is a very old inhabited area and contains some of the best archeological sites in southern Italy. The roman road ran along the base of the mountains to Barletta where rich merchants had their summer villas. A prominent producer with family groves on the slopes of the Gargano mountains today and a mill near to Manfredoni is Oleara Clemente. This is a family run company which specialises in organic and DOP Dauro Gargano oils.
Moving south it is best to avoid Foggia with its rubbish lined roads leading in and out of the rather messy town centre and drive on to the little seaside town of Barletta. Here the vast salt flats north of the town at La Saline are worth a visit. Inland you will come to the small town of Andria and the Castel del Monte olive region. The Pellegrino family have been growing olives here for many years but it was only in 1990 that they started to bottle their own Petraia and La Spineta extra virgin olive oils rather than sell to the large packers. Coratina is the predominant olive variety in this region which gives the oils a deeply nutty and peppery flavour. Seven hectares in front of the mill are organic and these olives are used for Petraia. La Spineta carries the Terra di Bari Castel del Monte DOP. Olive oil rustling has been a problem here with men storming the mill with guns and an ultra-strong suction machine that can suck the oil from a storage tank one and a half kilometers away!
An interesting and rather unusual olive variety found in this area is the Carolea. This olive gives a very fruity flavour to the oil sometimes with an almost strawberry ice cream quality to the aromas. I first tasted the oil at Tenuta Rasciatano, a lovely old masseria with its own chapel built in 1697. To find it follow the little lanes and tracks of the Strada del Olio in between the Murgia hills and the sea.
Last but not least of my finds in this area is the Galantino family business, based just north of Bari at Biscelle. The olives which are pressed at the Galantino mill come from their own Contrada San Giovani and La Fenice estates and those of 200 other farmers in the Terra di Bari area. The family act like wine negociants, helping their suppliers with decisions in the groves on cultivation, pruning and harvesting. The groves are all planted with Coratina and Ogliarolo varieties and some of them are reputed to be hundreds of years old. Indeed the whole area is full of historical interest with ancient dolmens and the slightly more recent trulli houses. These little circular buildings with distinctive conical rooves date back to the early fifteenth century. They are thought to have been built as temporary housing or as storage units.
Much of the best Puglian food is vegetarian. Look out for orecchiette, small ear shaped pasta, tossed with cima di rapa and extra virgin olive oil. Try Galantino’s speciality oil: L’Affiorato with this or dipped with hunks of the long lasting Pane di Altamara. Affiorato is the oil that naturally rises to the surface of the paste after milling and before pressing. If you like cheese then Caciocavallo is a must along with Canestrato and Stracciatella. | <urn:uuid:9783df80-4da8-4d52-b13b-b22c3e53e7cd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.judyridgway.co.uk/northern-puglia-san-severo-to-bari/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.96117 | 1,231 | 1.695313 | 2 |

EmERGE will develop a mHealth platform to enable self-management of HIV in patients with stable disease. The platform will build upon and integrate the existing mHealth solutions operated by pioneering healthcare providers in the UK and Spain and apply a rigorous co-design approach to ensure patient and clinician input to the solution. The platform will provide users with web based and mobile device applications which interface securely with relevant medical data and facilitate remote access to key healthcare providers EATG, the European HIV patient organisation, will provide a direct and deep interaction with representative patients and clinicians from 5 EU countries. The platform and interfaces will be validated in a large study of 3900 patients using a tailored HTA process, MAST, specifically developed for the assessment of mHealth solutions including translatability as a key factor. Based on prior work showing a high uptake rate and use of mHealth in HIV patient populations,
EmERGE aims to demonstrate the benefits to patients and simultaneous increases in cost-effectiveness for healthcare providers by reducing face-to-face consultations, estimated at 6000 saved per year within this study alone. Patient reported outcomes will be agreed and used in the assessment and development of the system which also aims to increase adherence and enable frailty to be reported using mHealth technology. Innovation will be given priority from the beginning by developing new business models of care provision, targeting key stakeholders in the EU health provider sector, including policymakers and clinicians, while eliciting demand from patients to highlight and initiate the widespread implementation and compensation of mHealth solutions within the timeframe of the project. Guidelines and policy briefs will be produced to evidence the benefits and disseminate the lessons learned to support the uptake of mHealth for self-management of other chronic diseases. | <urn:uuid:4bbcca50-fca1-45dd-a88c-cc58cd2476c8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.upm.es/observatorio/vi/index.jsp?pageac=proyectos/ficha.jsp&idp=12708 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.911604 | 362 | 1.523438 | 2 |

By Josh Keefe, Bangor Daily News Staff Penobscot County, Maine, and Stafford County, Va. Are home to just over 151,000 people. Because they have roughly the same population, each is expected to receive $ 29 million in federal assistance under the $ 1.
By Josh Keefe, Bangor Daily News Staff
Penobscot County, Maine, and Stafford County, Virginia, are home to just over 151,000 people. Because they have roughly the same population, each is expected to receive $ 29 million in federal aid as part of the $ 1.9 trillion American rescue plan.
But the size of governments is radically different: Penobscot spent about $ 23 million in 2021, while suburban Washington, DC, county spent $ 320 million, roughly 14 times as much, illustrating the windfall for County governments that are weak by design in Maine. .
With $ 260 million over two years, Maine’s often overlooked counties now have to choose whether to spend it on investment projects and traditional services like jail and sheriff department oversight or expanding their civic roles. limited to fund regional projects that have typically been managed by the state and municipalities of Maine.
Advocates are pushing counties to think bigger as they begin to allocate money. County officials are both planning broader regional partnerships and looking to spend on essential functions, but all stress the need to invest carefully as this opportunity is unlikely to be repeated.
âThe formula has been of great benefit to Penobscot County,â said Penobscot County Commissioner Peter Baldacci. âBut we don’t want to rush into plans without them being well thought out. We don’t expect anything like this in the near future. “
County officials are reluctant to launch programs or services with one-time money that will require tax revenue to keep operating. They must also operate under written federal rules for large counties with much more staff who typically provide more services, such as essential public health, infrastructure, or recreation functions. This limits how Maine counties can spend.
To date, counties in Maine have spent little money, with much of what has been spent going towards premium pay for employees. They only got half of their total allowances, with the rest coming next year. The US Treasury also has not finalized the rules on eligible projects, although it has described public health, addressing the negative economic effects of the pandemic, aid to businesses and water infrastructure, sewer and broadband as eligible expenses.
For administrators like Ryan Pelletier of Aroostook County, making sure that the money goes as far as possible is a primary objective. He hopes to leverage the $ 13 million his county is expected to receive in order to generate $ 26 million in investment, he said.
As part of that effort, the county got about 40 of its municipalities to agree to contribute 2% of their stimulus funds to fund a county position solely dedicated to administering US bailout funds over the years. coming years. Several other counties, including Penobscot, York, Cumberland, Oxford and Piscataquis, have either hired staff or hired outside consultants to help administer the funds for the US bailout.
Aroostook County is one of many counties that are also developing a process that would allow community organizations to apply for funding grants. Many counties are also setting up portals and community meetings to generate ideas and feedback from community members.
This process was necessary in part because of the smaller role of county government in Maine and the rest of New England, Pelletier said. For example, Rhode Island and Connecticut do not have county governments, so money earmarked for counties in those states goes to municipalities.
âI think this thing was designed at the national level without really thinking about the fact that county governments in each state work differently,â Pelletier said.
Capital improvement projects, like repairing prisons or other county buildings, are attractive to budget-conscious public servants because they are a one-time expense. Federal funding potentially provides counties with the ability to undertake projects that they would generally have to borrow to afford.
Many prison buildings are in need of modernization in part because the expenditure that could have been spent on their improvement has gone to issues for which they were not originally built, such as mental health, addiction and homelessness, said Stephen Gorden, chairman of Cumberland County Commissioners and president of the Maine County Commissioners Association.
Some of the money for the US bailout has already been allocated to county jails, according to a survey distributed to county officials by the Bangor Daily News. For example, Androscoggin, Kennebec, and York counties all spent federal funds on body scanners in prison. Other prison funding has been earmarked for improvements that could help mitigate the effects of the pandemic on prison populations, such as medical equipment and HVAC systems to improve air circulation.
Somerset County wants to use some of its $ 5 million in US rescue funds to pay off the nearly $ 10 million remaining on his jail bond, but the county is awaiting a word from the US Treasury to see if that would be allowed under federal rules, said administrator Dawn DiBlasi.
Nonprofits, social services and other civic leaders are urging county officials to take a broader look to ensure money goes as far as possible, with social service actors saying the money should be spent on chronic problems like homelessness and drug addiction.
âWe just don’t want to build more prisons or courthouses,â said Megan Hannan, executive director of the Maine Community Action Partnership.
Maine Budget Commissioner Kirsten Figueroa on Tuesday told a legislative committee that the state had provided $ 59.5 million in US bailout funds to municipalities in Maine since late August. The federal government has also allocated a combined additional $ 118 million to Bangor, Portland, Auburn, Lewiston and Biddeford.
Many county officials have said they will also pursue partnerships to leverage funds for maximum impact, including with towns and villages that have also received federal funding. The ideal projects would combine county, municipal and state funds, Gorden said.
“It would be a win, a win, a win,” he said. | <urn:uuid:db73794c-94cb-4ac9-93e7-1cbdf99b4f14> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.isomerset.co.uk/neglected-maine-counties-urged-to-think-big-after-hitting-the-raise-jackpot/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.971204 | 1,267 | 2.21875 | 2 |
1 MAKING TIME FOR BOOKS & STORIES Workshop Shared with you by Lisa Murphy, READ! READ! READ! UNTIL YOU THINK YOUR LIPS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF . AND THEN, READ ONE MORE!! -Bev Bos If you are going to interrupt a room full of engaged children in order to come to a meeting, it better be a darn good meeting. -Lisa Murphy I like the idea of a CIRCLE TIME SANDWICH. Two pieces of bread (a starting song and an ending song) with lots of yummy fillings in-between the bread. Suggestions for fillings might include: Additional songs BOOKS to read STORIES to tell Movemment/music Voting Who has news? inquiries, and, Exploring a real thing (rock, shell, a tool of sorts, a unique item of some kind). If you decide to do circle here are some Lisa Murphy suggestions: 1.

A book that does not make you cry, laugh, vomit, giggle, empathize, sympathize, feel pain, shiver, sigh, weep or fall over in hysterics is a waste of our time, our money and our precious, precious trees. -Mem Fox Is there an emotional connection to the book ? If not, choose another one. What I'm about to do is very very important! -Mem Fox 6. Some thoughts on why some kids don't read : Thomas Newkirk wrote Misreading Masculinity boys, literacy and popular culture. In it he addresses what he calls the feminization of literacy.
4 Ruslan Slutsky's research is indicating that children DO choose BOOKS by covers. Slutsky wrote an article called, Judging BOOKS by their covers: preschool children's aesthetic preferences in picture BOOKS . It is a scholarly article, here is a link to the abstract: childrens-aesthetic-preferences-picture- BOOKS BOOKS FOR BOYS. Do the pictures express movement? Does the book use ACTION words? Are the pictures too over-detailed? If so, they will shut down. Can they identify with the main character? Can he project himself onto the hero? Is there an ending to the book ? Boys can put a twist on an ending girls can generate an ending. Does the book beg to be acted out? Please note: BOOKS that fit the above characteristics are good for ALL children, but boys (as a generalization, so take it with a grain of salt) tend to gravitate towards BOOKS of this kind.
5 7. Be playful while reading Put their names in the book Be silly with the title 8. Read to the babies! 9. What are the kids interested in? How do you know? OBSERVATION!!!

8 Children who live in print-rich environments and who are read to during the first years of life are much more likely to learn to read on schedule. Reading aloud to young children is not only one of the best activities to stimulate language and cognitive skills; it also builds motivation, curiosity, and memory. Early language skills, the foundation for reading ability and school readiness, are based primarily on language exposure - resulting from parents and other adults talking to young children. Research shows that the more words parents use when speaking to an 8-month-old infant, the greater the size of their child's vocabulary at age 3. The landmark Hart- Risley study on language development documented that children from low-income families hear as many as 30 million fewer words than their more affluent peers before the age of 4.
9 BOOKS contain many words that children are unlikely to encounter frequently in spoken language. Children's BOOKS actually contain 50% more rare words than primetime television or even college students conversations. The nurturing and one-on-one attention from parents during reading aloud encourages children to form a positive association with BOOKS and reading later in life. Reading aloud is a proven technique to help children cope during times of stress or tragedy. Reading difficulty contributes to school failure, which increases the risk of absenteeism, leaving school, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, and teenage pregnancy - all of which perpetuate the cycles of poverty and dependency. 20% of workers are functionally illiterate.
10 Most American Parents NOT Reading to Children Fewer than half (48%) of young children in the are read to daily, meaning that more than 13 million children under 5 go to bed every night without a bedtime story. The percentage of children read to daily drops even lower (to 36%) among low-income families, whose children face the highest risk of literacy problems. Even among high- income families, however, more than 2 out of every 5 children are not read to daily. So why aren't more parents reading aloud to their children? Families living in poverty often lack the money to buy new BOOKS , as well as access to libraries. In fact, 61% of low-income families have no children's BOOKS in their homes. Parents who may not have been read to as children themselves may not realize the tremendous value of reading to their own children. | <urn:uuid:9a1fc523-5929-48d6-80f8-9a52660ea3ab> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pdf4pro.com/view/making-time-for-books-amp-stories-workshop-23c0fd.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.943021 | 1,818 | 1.945313 | 2 |
CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ)– Local professionals are partaking in a new effort to help Ukrainian refugees relocate to the Centre County region.
The effort is being called the Centre Coalition for Ukraine and it is a collaboration between business, education, medical and mental health professionals, with a California based non-profit group called Ukraine Now. The goal is to help find the Ukrainian refugees that are in need of housing, food, medical care and mental health resources.
Ukraine Now has case managers that will identify the refugees now living in shelters in the US to relocate to the Centre Region once housing and critical services are secured.
Centre Coalition for Ukraine chairperson Erin Crown has been deeply concerned about the refugee crisis since it began.
“What has happened in Ukraine is devastating,” she said. “It will be important for those involved to understand that Ukrainians have been traumatized. We will need to address their needs with that in mind.”
She did say that she is confident that the Ukrainian refugees coming to Centre County will be met with compassion.
“I’m honored to be part of this effort and am confident that the individuals and families coming to Centre County will be met with compassion and support. I am thankful that we live in a community that not only has resources to share, but an openness to do so.”
Crown said the initial batch of housing for refugees in the area was made possible by the George Woskob family. It is intended to be a temporary arrangement.
“We’re ready to accept up to 10 people at this point. That may be one family, three families, whatever the family size is,” Crown said. “The intent of these individuals and of this organization is not that these Ukrainian refugees will live in Centre County forever. We’re looking at probably two years’ time of assistance.”
Students from the Penn State Ukrainian Society are also partaking in the coalition to help provide cultural resources. Ukrainian Society President Maria Smereka-Hladio’s family emigrated from Ukraine in 2000 and she feels connected to the plights of the refugees.
“Sadly, as time has passed, the tragedy of war in Ukraine has faded out of perception as people focus on the normalcy of their day-to-day lives. Ukrainians do not have that luxury. Innocent people are still being targeted by the Russian military and millions have been displaced from their homes. Those who have managed to escape are desperately seeking safe haven for themselves and for their families.”
Leaders of the new Centre Coalition for Ukraine include Jamison Malcolm, (The Nittany Church), Erin Crown (Oasis Life Care and President, Pennsylvania Mental Health Initiative), Greg Somers (Happy Valley Brewing Co), Philip Burlingame (Penn State, retired) and Henry Cramer, MD. The organizers are seeking monetary donations and housing options for individuals and families. In order to make a donation, visit the non-profit Pennsylvania Mental Health Initiative’s website.
“It’s everything that you would need to live here, and not just survive but thrive,” Smereka-Hladio said. “But here, we really hope to provide a safe space and all of the resources that these refugees need.”
Anyone interested in providing resources for refugees coming to the area through the coalition can email firstname.lastname@example.org.

Caring for your health and the health of your loved ones is more important than ever. Due to COVID-19 concerns, many people are looking for alternative ways to access medical care and minimize exposure. And, since adults over the age of 60 are in the high-risk category for Coronavirus, it’s essential that family members be proactive in helping as needed.
Telemedicine: Talk to a Doctor without Leaving Home
The current social distancing approach appears to be helping control the rate of infection and reduce community spread. However, many seniors and individuals with at-risk medical conditions still have ongoing healthcare needs. Instead of the traditional approach of in-person visits for check-ups and follow-up appointments, many doctors are recommending at-home telemedicine appointments.
This process utilizes technology on a smartphone or computer so a patient can have a face-to-face conversation from home. These services are designed to support patients with ongoing medical needs such as prescription medication refills, treatments for chronic health conditions, basic medical diagnosis and treatment recommendations, and discussions about at-home treatments.
Benefits of Telemedicine
The main benefit is that healthcare services can be brought to the patient’s home virtually via phone or conference call, eliminating the need to expose aging adults to outside risks. Healthcare providers are adapting to these ever-changing conditions while providing quality medical care for people of all ages.
If you or an aging family member need to talk to a doctor, it’s recommended that you call the office first to inquire about telemedicine options. Most likely, the appointment can be scheduled virtually if in-office testing is not required. Non-urgent services might be scheduled for the future, depending on the needs of each patient.
Safety During the COVID-19
More than ever, it’s essential to be checking on your aging family members. Not only to monitor their health, but to also minimize the ongoing risk of elder abuse and neglect during this time. At Senior Safe and Sound, we are here to help. Contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.org or call 858-480-7551.

A2. Shiftless Shuffle
B. I Thought It Was You
Throughout the mid-to-late 1970s, legendary jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock engaged in a prolonged period of experimentation across sounds and recording formats, over the course of several CBS/Sony albums, made only available in Japan. 1979's Directstep was one such album, one that made use of a new form of recording technology called "Direct-To-Disc." This method recorded masters in real time to acetate discs, rendering incredibly high fidelity LP pressings, but sacrificing the ability to edit or overdub. A distinct challenge, but one that Hancock accepted, entering Tokyo's CBS/Sony Studios in mid-October of 1978 with a stacked backing band including session veterans Bennie Maupin on saxophone, Ray Obiedo on guitar, Webster Lewis on keys and synths, Paul Jackson on bass, Alphonse Mouzon on drums, and Bill Summers on percussion. This group of seasoned pros were intent on having a record in one take.
Directstep marked a lot of firsts for Hancock, chief among them was that it was one of his earliest recordings to feature a second synthesizer player (Webster Lewis), which was necessary to produce the electronic textures he'd been previously experimenting with on albums like 1974's Dedication. It was also the first one in Hancock's catalogue to make extensive use of the Sennheiser Vocoder, which would become a key part of his arsenal during his electro-funk period during the 1980s. The album also stands out as one of the earliest analog recordings to be converted into digital format and released on compact disc.
Beyond all the technological achievements on Directstep though, is simply an incredibly solid collection of Herbie Hancock material, mid-transition between his success with jazz-funk fusion into his electronic-focused period. It features stirring remakes of Hancock staples "Butterfly" and "I Thought It Was You", as well as brand new track "Shiftless Shuffle", incorporating brand new electronic instrument technology such as the electronic wind instrument the Lyricon, the freshly released Propet-5 synthesizer, and of course the aforementioned Sennheiser Vocoder. Get On Down is proud to present this reissue of Directstep, a gem of jazz-fusion, available on vinyl for the first time in 30 years! | <urn:uuid:e3876664-e523-426e-983d-716d10fdb9ac> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.injerah.com/shop/get51332-lp-herbie-hancock-directstep-157 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.966441 | 495 | 1.726563 | 2 |
Welcome back to another article in our Lord of Rigel design series. This week we are going to talk about quests in 4x gaming and how Lord of Rigel will try to integrate quests in a less abrupt way than many other strategy games. At their core, quests are a great way to break up gameplay in a strategy game by providing a reprieve from the standard goals and objectives of the core game. Quests are often optional as players can choose to complete them or not with minimal impact on the game.
When designing Lord of Rigel we looked at the quest system and felt that while it did provide some good pacing changes that quest goals were often artificial and didn't fit within the world they were a part of. When looking for how to better integrate quests into Lord of Rigel we looked at numerous strategy games and saw two places where types of quests were readily present within the universe: random events and grand menaces. Both of these events types would be natural places to insert quests for the player. Random events, like planet axis shifting, pirates, or stars going super nova are all natural events that players would expect to happen in a large and diverse universe. Players would need to gather ships to patrol star systems against pirates and focus research on discovering ways to keep stars from going supernova. Each of these would provide quests for the player that provide meaningful consequences both positive and negative.
Grand menaces also provide another avenue for "quest" like events. Players may need to deal with grand menaces head on by assembling fleets to counter von Neumann probes threatening your star systems or you can focus researchers throughout your empire on how to communicate with or dismantle the probe and gain their technology and knowledge. Players may also encounter species that are invading from other parts of the universe. These invaders could threaten entire quadrants with the loss of numerous star systems for both the player and the AI players. You could use these invaders to forge new alliances or take advantage of the situation and gain territory from weakened empires.
The "quests" in Lord of Rigel will provide players with gameplay changes throughout the game that will seem natural because the events are natural. Players cannot expect to step out of their role as leader of an empire and lead a raiding party on pirate ships - however they can expect to rally the resources of an empire to tackle the challenges presented in an ever changing universe.

The Mexican government announced in September that it was making a significant reduction in Mexico’s contribution to the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC).
The CEC is a product of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) environmental side accord, created in response to demands from civil society, unions, academics, and Congressional representatives from Mexico, Canada, and the United States. It was created to monitor the environmental impacts that the free trade agreement would bring to the region and lay the foundations for joint work on environmental issues. Among its objectives were: establishing the bases for coordinated public environmental policy; increasing cooperation between the three countries; strengthening cross-boundary development and enforcement of environmental regulations, policies, and practices; encouraging transparency and public participation in environmental rules and policies; and promoting pollution prevention.
Each of the NAFTA member nations provides the CEC with $3 million a year for a total of $9 million annually. The Mexican government’s intention to reduce its contribution to $1.2 million could mean the virtual liquidation of this international environmental institution and comes on top of a long list of bad decisions President Vicente Fox’s administration has made on environmental issues. This decision was immediately repudiated by Mexican environmental organizations, among them the Mexican Environmental Law Center (Cemda), Greenpeace Mexico , the International Fund for the Protection of Wildlife and its Habitat, and the Mexican Network on Free Trade (RMALC).
The Mexican government did not consult with citizen organizations, non-governmental experts, or the Secretariat of the CEC before making its unilateral decision. One of the CEC’s primary functions has been to seek consensus and consultation, transparency, and grassroots participation, as well as effective application of environmental legislation in each of the three countries. It is important to note that its on-going programs and projects are in the course of implementation. Trinational commitments mean one partner country cannot abandon them overnight by simply deciding to cut its financing obligations.
The announcement is absurd and senseless. If any government has benefited from the existence of the CEC it is Mexico’s. Carrying out the planned cut will mean a very considerable reduction in the commission budget and, practically speaking, its imminent disappearance. Due to a pact in which the economic participation of the countries should be equal, Mexico’s action would lead the United States and Canada to matching reductions; Article 43 of the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) establishes that no party is obliged to pay more that the others. This would lead in time to the dissolution of the CEC or of some of its most important functions. Among these are citizen petitions and the factual records produced under NAAEC Articles 13, 14, and 15, as well as the collaboration of CEC’s Joint Public Advisory Committee. Lack of money would be an easy excuse for the governments to say that these activities could not be supported.
The $9 million annually allotted has not been increased since the CEC was created 11 years ago. The reduction by Mexico would represent a serious violation not only of NAAEC but also of the Vienna Convention on Treaties, which establishes that no country can adopt measures that contradict the objectives of the treaty it has signed (Articles 18 and 19).
CEC’s Role in Environmental Research
Throughout more than a decade since its founding, the CEC has researched many environmental problems under two procedures established in its bylaws. One is defined under Articles 14 and 15, stating that citizens may request CEC Secretariat elaboration of factual records as a tool to investigate alleged failure to effectively implement environmental law in any of the three countries. For this procedure the CEC has followed 51 cases, 29 of them related to Mexico . The other procedure, established in Article 13, affords the CEC Secretariat the power to elaborate scientific studies on diverse environmental problems, either by citizen request or by a CEC trinational initiative. Under this procedure, five cases have been investigated, including two in Mexico, about the genetic contamination of maize and the pollution of the Silva Reservoir in Guanajuato, respectively.
Have these two mechanisms been so burdensome to the governments that they now seek to be rid of them? If so, interested citizens, non-governmental organizations, and the public at large will protest loudly and with reason to all three governments. To get rid of these important mechanisms of trinational environmental protection would show a grave lack of sensibility not only for the environment but also for citizen participation and the concerns of those who are legitimately interested in improving conditions today and for future generations.
The Mexican environmental groups that issued the call for their government to reconsider the cutback of resources for the CEC likewise noted that the administration has reaffirmed its lack of familiarity with the mechanisms of international cooperation available to Mexico to protect and conserve the environmental and natural resources shared with the United States and Canada. What’s more, the administration’s action demonstrates its absolute disdain for what its own constituents have established as a way to monitor the impacts of trade in our societies.
Mexican Government’s Lack of Commitment on Environmental Issues
With its plan to cut CEC financing, the Mexican government reveals its intention to weaken and possibly kill the commission, which in turn reveals the administration’s attempts to dismantle the legal and institutional framework for environmental issues that has been built over so many years. This situation is evident not only at the international level, but the national level as well. On the domestic front, as the head of the federal Environment and Natural Resources Secretariat (Semarnat), Alberto Cardenas authorized projects damaging to the environment, such as the Nautical Staircase, and modified the Mexican Official Standard 022 protecting coastal wetlands, in order to promote development of projects such as the Manzanillo Pier expansion in the state of Colima. Who did the Semarnat’s staff consult about the planned cutback of financing for the CEC?
The worst of it is that the government supposedly the first to be interested in boycotting and weakening the CEC is that of the United States . The administration of U.S. President George W. Bush has a negative environmental record both nationally and internationally. Many CEC investigations have bothered the U.S. government, particularly the case about genetic contamination of local varieties of Mexican maize. On this issue, the experts’ panel report made for the CEC Secretariat, complete with recommendations on countering possible damage to agro-biodiversity caused by Mexico’s importation of genetically modified corn, was ready to release by June 7, 2004. But due to U.S. government pressure, the information was not made public as rules specify until November 2004. The report was finally published as a consequence of having been leaked to the media. The causes of the delay were two: publication of the report would have influenced a Bush administration legal case in the World Trade Organization against the European Union for its restrictions on some genetically modified products; and releasing the report before the presidential re-election balloting could have meant losing votes in the strong grain and Hispanic sectors. In this process, the U.S. government expressed its disenchantment with the CEC and its work. It is lamentable that today the Mexican government is the one to take the first step toward limiting the scope of CEC work in the interest of the United States government.
Another controversial case in which the CEC played a prominent role was that of the illegal construction of a pier at Cozumel , Quintana Roo, in 1996. Mexican environmentalists denounced their government to the CEC Secretariat, charging that the then Environment, Natural Resources, and Fisheries Secretariat (Semarnap) failed to effectively apply the law to the construction project. As a result of this citizens’ petition, and in spite of the government’s inconformity and anger, the CEC elaborated its first factual record, which led to then-President Ernesto Zedillo’s declaration of a Natural Protected Area for the Cozumel Reefs, a management plan, and the considerable reduction of the mega project | <urn:uuid:63476f9e-4b64-4198-a367-397cb18ccbb8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.americas.org/2914/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.958092 | 1,660 | 3.21875 | 3 |
I have personally used FR after exercise, I have also advocated it as a form of treatment to my patients, with mixed reactions particularly to how uncomfortable it is! I have found it to bring about therapeutic benefits albeit short-lived and very subjective. However I do question the claimed physiological benefits, despite this I use it as with all my treatments as an adjunct to my rehabilitation programs.
Where did it come from?
The act of FR derived from myofascial release techniques and developed into Self induced Myofascial Release where use of a foam roller was used instead of a clinician. Myofascial release is the act of pressure and stretch on connective tissue with the aim to induce the stretch reflex. This confuses me as the stretch reflex causes the muscle to contract, when I thought we wanted the muscle to relax?? Perhaps I missed something or perhaps I best get my head back in the books and read around the stretch reflex?…..Myofascial release is a really hazy topic. It has been researched extensively with mixed outcome. It is understood to be the reason behind muscle pain and tenderness in the absence of noxious input which is commonly known as nociception. Yet a recent paper has refuted the concept of the myofascial pain syndrome and trigger points, explaining that the phenomena has more of a neurophysiological link (reference).
FR is widely used in physiotherapy and the fitness industry with popular beliefs that it can have the same effects as massage therapy/myofascial release to increase athletic performance, alleviate muscle soreness, relieves joint stress, improves neuromuscular efficiency, and improve joint range of motion. There is evidence to suggest this albeit limited and somewhat questionable as it is with research. Massage has been researched extensively and although it is claimed to have some therapeutic benefits, the evidence steers towards the act of touch as a very powerful medium that creates a number of descending inhibitory effects including pain relief and relaxation (reference, reference). Descending inhibition is when your brain releases a cocktail of hormones, opioids and neurotransmitters such as endorphins, noradrenaline and serotonin.
I am not discrediting the use of massage I still use it in my clinical practice due to the above effects. However the jury is out on massage I would never advocate it as a standalone treatment, which is the same for FR. Giving somebody a rub makes them feel good but I have experienced too many athletes and individuals that have an injury, say it will be alright have a rub before a game or an event for them to end up in a worse state than prior to the massage. Yes I want to provide a form of pain relief to my patients but at the same time educate them. I am just more aware of the reasons why I do it. I take the same stance with FR. Use it as an adjunct but not as a standalone treatment.
The effects of FR
Evidence is limited on FR but there is an extensive list of claimed effects that include: increased range of movement before physical activity? increasing blood flow? (reference), performance increases including sprint time, vertical jumps, power and dynamic strength/endurance effects? (reference) and also reducing Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS)? We are not entirely sure about the actual mechanisms of DOMS but it appears to be related to micro-trauma within a muscle. However there is most likely a nervous system component (reference). DOMS is commonly associated with the feeling of knots and taught bands of tissue. I question whether that is actually what we feel? I would hasten to claim that the muscle needs to be massaged out. I have performed sensory feedback techniques and end up getting the same relaxed state in a muscle as I would with massage (reference). So yes it has been proposed that foam rolling is useful for connective tissue recovery and as DOMS tends to manifest in the musculo-tendinous junction it would make sense to foam roll these areas. Despite all these groovy effects they are short-lived and with the limited evidence there is plenty of scope for conjecture (reference, reference, reference).
FR involves laying the desired body part to be treated onto the roller and using your bodyweight to create a compression effect whilst rolling out the tissue, hence the concept of releasing connective tissue. Connective tissue is the stuff that lines your muscles so it’s all over your body. Yet connective tissue is based within many forms of tissue and it is made up of a range of components including collagen ranging from type I to type III that are the most abundant in the body, ground substance, extracellular fluid and cells, fibers and GAG chains. GAG chains attract water and make connective tissue extremely resistant to compression so why then compress something that is resistant to compression? This presents to me as somewhat of a conundrum.
Roll em out!
So despite my skepticism here are some examples of rolling out major muscle groups of the lower limb.
So the naked physio “how long should I foam roll for?” I hear you ask! Well it is suggested that a time limit of up to 60 seconds brings about the therapeutic effects as described above (reference, reference).
There you have it, the evidence suggests (although a bit hazy) that FR is a useful adjunct to a pre and post exercise regime, reducing DOMS, increasing joint ROM and increase athletic performance in the short-term (all a wee bit questionable). However it is possible the use of FR may induce descending inhibitory effects resulting in the above therapeutic effects (reference). Having tried FR and using it in clinical practice I can see the value of it from a clinical application and subjective experience. The physiological effects on connective tissue and thoughts around myofascial release are what I refute. I use it merely as an adjunct to facilitate recovery and something for the individual to do. I never use my treatments in isolation and always advocate graded exercise in my approach as this has been shown to have long term effects (reference).

Designed by Cisco, the Capture the Flag competition revolved around the securing and attacking of IOT devices. Over the duration of two days, the FSU team worked to solve challenges in network analytics and forensics, cryptography, steganography, radio transmission security and exploitation, IOT security, and software analytics. The four Cybersecurity students from Florida State University finished in 4th place and were presented with Super Nintendos.
In addition to the competitions, CSI CyberSEED, sponsored by Comcast, also featured a variety of speakers for the conference event. FSU students Grady Denton, Brandon Everhart, Taylor Shields, and Jacob Mills attended the speaker presentations while the competitions took place. Benjamin Fuller, an Assistant Professor at UCONN presented on the use of irises for biometric authentication. Additionally, the Principal of Grier Forensics, Jonathan Grier, gave a talk on the encryption of emails. Preparing for post-quantum cryptography was another interesting presentation made by Brian Lamacchia, the head of the Security and Cryptography team at Microsoft Research. Kirill Levchenko, an Assistant Research Scientist on Systems and Networking at UC San Diego also spoke about the analysis of devices that defeat emission standards in modern automobiles. Cybersecurity graduate student and Secretary of the FSU Cybersecurity Club, Taylor Shields, stated “It was a great experience to learn about new approaches to problems and important topics in the cybersecurity community, as well as network with cybersecurity professionals who were also in attendance.” | <urn:uuid:8da26c23-f2b8-4fbe-961e-e76d7c3d1a33> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.cs.fsu.edu/fsu-cybersecurity-club-ranks-among-the-top-in-recent-competitions-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.962773 | 308 | 1.890625 | 2 |
Slats, appearing from 1917-1924, born in Dublin Zoo
Dietz said he decided to use a lion as the company’s mascot as a tribute to his alma mater, Columbia University, whose athletic team nickname is The Lions.
The first lion, called Slats, was used for the original Goldwyn Pictures design and for the first MGM version. He didn’t actually roar, preferring to people watch.
Jackie, 1928-1956, the second lion to be used in the logo
Jackie’s roar was recorded for use at the beginning of MGM talking movies. A sound stage was built around his cage to make the recording.
In addition to appearing in the MGM logo, Jackie appeared in more than one hundred films (all black and white films from 1928-1956, including the Tarzan movies that starred Johnny Weissmuller).
Coffee was one of two lions that were used for two-strip Technicolor test logos on early MGM colour productions.
Coffee, 1932-1935 two-strip Technicolor
MGM began producing full three-strip Technicolor films in 1934, and used Tanner for all Technicolor films from 1934-1956.
Tanner, 1934-1956 full three-strip Technicolor films
The sixth lion, officially named George, was introduced in 1956.
Leo, the seventh lion, is MGM’s longest-lived, having appeared on most MGM films since 1957. He was also the youngest of all the lions at the time MGM filmed his roar (hence the smaller mane).
Hitchcock “directing” Leo in 1958, photo by Clarence Sinclair Bull
In 1965, in attempt to update its image, MGM recruited Lippincott to create a more contemporary logo. The result was known as “The Stylized Lion,” and it appeared at the front of three films in the 1960s: Grand Prix (1966), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and The Subject Was Roses (1968).
The stylized lion, 1966-1968
Leo was reinstated afterwards, but a refined version of Lippincott’s mark is in use today for MGM Resorts International.
