Students are the future of science, we all know that. A good student aims at becoming a professor. However, even the one who has not completed his/her dissertation yet, can be useful for the humankind.
Here we will tell you about some curious cases of scientific research where students were involved as the respondents. But you should understand that there are much more experiments that benefitted from the participation of university students, we have just selected a few most interesting from our point of view. Some more can be accessed at Homeworkneeded.Com
Tortures and Obedience
Here we will tell you about the famous experiment of Stanley Milgram in the field of social psychology. Milgram has carried out a research on how ordinary people can cause sufferings of others if they are ordered to do so by an authoritative person. The results were shocking and unpleasant, so a lot of scientists disapproved of the experiment.
For example, Charles Sheridan and Richard King supposed that most of the participants had recognized the false screaming of the victim.
Therefore, they needed to make the same experiment with a victim, whose struggles will be true as a result of electric strikes. Obviously, people were excluded, so they have selected a nice little puppy.
Students-volunteers were told that they were involved in an experiment aimed at checking the ability of dogs to differentiate a constant light from a sparkling one. If the puppy was not able to complete the task, it was punished with the electric stroke. The severity of each stroke grew with each next failure.
Students were crying, shaking, they were losing their voice, they tried to help the puppy to make the right choice, but still 80% of students have passed the experiment till the very end, even though the puppy was screaming from severe pain.
Therefore, on the example of students, the experiment of Milgram was confirmed.
A View of a Psychopath
In one of his interviews, a notorious maniac Ted Bandy said that he could recognize a good victim by just the way they walk.
In 2009, 20 years after his death on the electric chair, scientists of the University of Brock (Canada) decided to check how true were his words and carried out the following research.
They have developed a scale of psychopathy, which was conducted to distinguish psychopathic features in ordinary people and have given the assignment to fill them in to 47 last year students. The students were grouped: those who had low results according to the psychopathic scale, and those who had higher ones.
Later, they have made 12 videos with 12 other participants of the study. The videos contained nothing else, but those students walking from one room to another. Later, they filled in a questionnaire with just 2 questions: “Were you a victim of an attack earlier? If yes, how many times?”
The 12 videos were shown to those 47 students tested on psychopathy. They were asked to evaluate vulnerability of the people on the video.
Those who got the higher results on psychopathy were making up their mind much faster and their choices were much more exact in comparison to those which were less prone to psychopathy. Thus, the students confirmed that a psychopath could recognize a victim just by the way he/she walks.
If You Need to Explain, the Explanations May Cause a Worse Result
Female students from the University of Virginia got an assignment to choose a poster to decorate their room. They could choose from 5 variants: a landscape of Claude Monet, a still-life of Van Gogh, and three funny pictures with cats.
The students were, again, divided into 2 groups: reflexive and non-reflexive. Students from the non-reflexive group were asked to evaluate the posters from 1 to 9. The ones from the reflexive group got an assignment to evaluate and explain their choice. Finally, every girl could take the highly valued poster home.
90% of students from non-reflexive group chose Monet’s or Van Gogh’s paintings. Among the reflexive group members, 50% have chosen humoristic posters.
A few weeks later, the students from both groups were asked of how satisfied they were with their choice. In the non-reflexive group, almost everyone was satisfied, and 2/3 of those who needed to explain claimed that they needed to switch the poster.
Students from the reflexive group have chosen not the posters they really liked, but those which were easier to explain the choice of. Therefore, sometimes reasoning may confuse our feelings and self-analysis may result in a worse understanding of choices.
The Smell Does Not Matter
Swiss scientists Claus Wedekind and Sandra Fury asked their students-volunteers (both the male and female ones) to complete a weird assignment: to wear the same T-shirts for a few days in a row (without using any deodorants, perfumes, soap and shower gel). Then, the other students were asked to smell the T-shirts used for the experiments and tell which ones they liked more.
This was not an experiment to test disgust.
Wedekind and Fury supposed that people could determine the opposite gender with the help of smell. And this theory was confirmed: males and females liked the smell of the opposite gender more. Therefore, thanks to the experiment made on the students, there is no universally attractive odor: it all depends on the person who feels the smell.
As you can see, volunteering is not only about helping the poor and those in need, or supporting animals. You can make a contribution to science just getting an assignment to take part in a research, what will not be difficult for you at all. Moreover, the results of some experiments may interest you and provoke your willingness to carry out your own scientific research on the matter. In that case, you can fully devote your attention to the research and use a homework service to do the other tasks if necessary. Therefore, do not hesitate to start participating in surveys: they will not do harm, but instead, bring benefits to your academic career. | <urn:uuid:837731dc-e173-4fa1-b0c9-d5afcdfdc3a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://homeworkneeded.com/blog/scientific-experiments | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.976184 | 1,244 | 3.015625 | 3 |
Critically discuss and analyze the nature of truth as conveyed through ocular representation in fact based characteristic movies.What is documental?There is ever plentifulness of argument about what really constitutes a docudrama, and definitions in books and movie circles change rather often. However, it is of import for the intents of this thesis to organize a feasible definition of what a documental really is. Of all the definitions around, there are two which are of peculiar note.
One is by John Grierson, an English film-maker, who says:‘We do desire to see them ( the citizens ) given what they are non acquiring now: a service of information on the immediate demands and services of the province. We do desire to see them given what they are non given now: a life sense of what is traveling on.’ ( Grierson, in Grizzly Man ( 2007 )Grierson besides says that docudrama is “the originative intervention of actuality’ , which in its purest signifier seems like a really good definition of what a docudrama should be.However, possibly a more accurate description of current documental film-making, peculiarly in a commercial sense, is by D.A Pennebaker: ( Grizzly Man, 2007 )‘My definition of a documental movie is a movie that decides you don’t cognize plenty about something, whatever it is, psychological science or the tip of South America.
Some cat goes at that place and says ‘Holy cow, I know about this and cipher else does, so I’m traveling to do a movie about it.’ Gives him something to make. And he normally persuades person to set up the money who thinks this is the thing to make. Then you have the state of affairs where this thing is shouting on the wall about how you don’t cognize something.’In kernel, a docudrama is about re-telling or re-casting the truth of some event or state of affairs, and potentially edifying the audience on an unknown or unobserved topic. Whilst this has been done for coevalss through written and spoken media, the existent ‘documentary’ movie is a reasonably new construct.
The ‘documentary’ rubric was foremost given to a movie in 1926, entitled ‘Moana’ , by Robert Flaherty. ( Wikipedia, 2007 ) However, docudramas had been traveling for a clip before this, merely non called so. Items such as travelogues and ‘scenics’ were an early signifier of what we now know as documental work.However, docudramas moved off from their places of honestness and truth during the Second World War, when many alleged ‘documentaries’ were in fact propaganda movies to carry the audience of a point. The most well-known of these include Triumph of the Will by Leni Riefenstahl and Why We Fight by Frank Capra.The 1960’s and 1970’s were a different narrative, and docudramas became extremely political as a arm against capitalist economy, particularly in topographic points like Latin America.
La Hora de los hornos was a authoritative illustration of this, and its managers Getino and Solanas influenced many during this clip.However, the docudrama in recent old ages has moved to the bow once more, peculiarly with successful and expansive full-length film docudramas. Meant for the big-screen instead than merely telecasting, they capture an audience in new ways, frequently utilizing the power of modern redaction and ocular representation to force their points across. Many of them talk about ‘truth’ and that their films give you the ‘real’ penetration into a subject, playing on the fact that people want to cognize more and frequently do non believe what they are told by those in power. Some of the most popular over the last few old ages have been ‘Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine by Michael Moore, An Inconvenient Truth, Touching the Void and United 93.
In fact, Fahrenheit 9/11 was so successful it made over $ 200 million at the box office and sold 1000000s of DVD’s, doing it the most successful documental of all time. ( Wikipedia, 2007 )With this increased success has come a alteration in manners, from the original signifier of docudramas as a cinematic position of actuality, to leting the managers far more room to construe and pull strings the events. Re-enactments and dramatic effects are added to the basic narrative to entertain and force frontward the most plausible version of the truth by the manager.It is this component of how the truth is conveyed through ocular representation and directorial use that will be looked at in the remainder of this thesis. The purpose is to look at the changing ways in which docudramas tell or fail to state the truth, and what the differences between fact and fiction are in these movies. The ways in which these films can be edited to set across a certain point of view will be looked at, and peculiar attending will be paid to the factual use through redacting in the film ‘Bowling for Columbine’ . Besides, two of the most recent docudramas will be looked at in item sing their ocular representation of the truth.
The two films of pick are ‘Touching the Void’ and ‘United 93’ , both of which use dramatic visuals to grip and entertain the audience, whilst seeking to convey certain minutes and events in clip that have been a enigma to the populace.The purpose is to demo that whilst modern docudramas have far more tools at their disposal to convey the truth to the audience, these excess ocular tools frequently lead to deceit of the facts. However, the films have far more power of ‘truth’ than their predecessors, chiefly because of the exciting and advanced ways that they are able to plunge the audience into events through ocular effects. The lines between fact and fiction have decidedly been blurred by many of these docudramas, even if their purposes were to demo the actuality of the event as seen by them. This displacement in the manner docudramas are made and the manner in which they portray truth causes us to possibly alter our definition of these films as docudramas, and besides analyze what it is in footings of truth that we want to derive from such movies.The following subdivision will look the nature of ‘truth’ and how this construct relates to docudramas.
Truth and its relation to documentaryIn the traditional sense, truth is the kernel of a docudrama. The documental signifier is designed to convey the actuality of an event or period in clip, giving the audience echt facts on a certain topic. However, this is a slightly idealistic construct, and ‘truth’ is non ever within the kernel of a docudrama. In old ages gone by many docudramas were biased as signifiers of propaganda or to force frontward a certain docket, and in many ways things have non changed. Documentaries are now controlled far more by the managers who shoot them, leting for directorial prejudice and their ain dockets to go a greater portion of the finished merchandise.Further, there are some docudramas where the ‘truth’ can merely be based upon speculation, such as those events in United 93. The existent ‘truth’ of these events is non wholly known, for all those who were portion of the existent event are now deceased. The truth is portion of documental these yearss merely in every bit much as the play is based on some truths, and the remainder is frequently theatre.
That is non to state that truth can non be gained from documental, at least in the signifier of penetration. Even if every portion of these movies is non the existent world of an event, an penetration and knew cognition of the event can be gained. In many instances this is frequently the best we could trust for when the existent truth is merely known by those witnessing the event.Possibly the best manner to depict modern documental films is that they are about the strive for truth, approximately seeking to edify people on a concealed topic.
Even if some of them fail miserably to make this or mislead people away from some of the truth, the nucleus values of many of today’s docudramas is to set forward a truth that they believe in. Whether this truth mirrors actuality or non depends on the deepness of facts available and the capable affair, every bit good as the director’s ain prejudice.Besides, modern docudramas are non merely about conveying the truth, but are besides at that place to excite and entertain the audience.
They are political and commercial ventures, frequently with reasonably big budgets and the demands of the audience in head. There are besides force per unit areas from the audience and society to demo ‘truth’ in a manner they can manage.For case, whilst United 93 was seen as a good docudrama piece sing the events on the 9/11 plane for it dealt with the human issues instead than political 1s, other docudramas on the topic have been less good received. Much of this has to make with the sort of ‘truth’ people want to cognize. For case, a docudrama by Paul Cross called ‘Severe Visibility’ dealt with issues sing whether or non a commercial line drive truly did hit the Pentagon. It was hard for Cross to acquire this movie released by corporate distribution companies, every bit good as being rejected by many festivals. Whilst it is ill-defined whether his movie was the ‘truth’ or non, because his thought of what the truth was did non fit with those of others in power, his docudrama struggled.Cross said of his jobs:“ I feel like I am in Nazi Germany the manner some people in Hollywood are responding to it.
What is everyone so afraid of? Everyone seems to wish the movie but I have been told by most of the distribution companies that I have approached that they are corporate and hence do n’t desire to let go of a movie with so strong a statement. ” ( Cross, in Brouillet, 2007 )In many ways, the truth of docudramas presents is dictated by the temper within society, and what they are unfastened to having. Quality issues and budgets aside, this is why movies like United 93 and Fahrenheit 9/11 are more of a success than films like Severe Visibility.Therefore, what we refer to as ‘truth’ in docudramas is truly a representation of a certain set of facts used to entertain an audience who are willing to larn about a subject from a peculiar point of view.Some would even take it farther than this and suggest that documentaries no longer incorporate truth, and are in fact based upon prevarications. Ian Jack is one such critic, who claims that:“The docudrama has ever been a sweet based on prevarications ” ( Jack, in Holmwood, 2007 )Jack believes that so many of the docudramas these yearss have deceptive or non-truthful elements that they should no longer be seen as fact at all.
He cites illustrations such as the wrongly emended footage of the Queen on the BBC and movies that were wholly falsified such as The Connection. However, others, including myself, differ with this statement. It seems that whilst some companies specialise in ‘reality television’ , which are factual amusement shows incorporating staged scenes with existent people, other ‘truer’ docudrama shapers are focused on relaying the truth of events, albeit in some kind of biased or potentially inaccurate manner. Documentaries may be floored, but there is some degree at which truth is still a chief constituent or at least a chief motive of the documental film-maker. Although possibly a somewhat biased position, Alan Boyd of BBC Storyville and Scum celebrity said:“Documentary shapers are non prevaricators and they don’t manipulate things” ( Boyd, in Holmwood, 2007 )Whilst I don’t wholly ascribe to this position either, it seems to me to be someplace in the center. Many documentarians are motivated by the truth, but more frequently than non that is the truth harmonizing to their positions. Besides, the demand for commercial success and gratifying to audiences adds some prejudice.
However, I believe many docudrama shapers still relate ‘truth’ as the chief motive and rule behind their work.So, if the truth has been eroded so much in many docudramas, how are fact and fiction, as in documental films and fiction films, different from each other?In the following subdivision the difference between fact and fiction will be looked at, and how this difference or deficiency of it affects the credibleness of docudramas.Similarities between fact and fictionWith the eroding in the nature of ‘truth’ in documental film-making, many have claimed that docudramas are now non much different from the fictional films we are used to.Possibly the best illustration of the fuzz between fact and fiction is the film ‘The Da Vinci Code’ . Based on the book of the same name, the thought of the film is based on some ‘facts’ and existent administrations, such as the Opus Dei and the Catholic Church.
Although the narrative is wholly fictional, the scenes and some of the history behind the topics is slightly accurate. For many people the Da Vinci Code is a pure act of fiction, whilst to others it is seen as a extremely entertaining but nevertheless reasonably credible movie on Grail history. Whilst it is clear that the Da Vinci Code is clearly a work of fiction, with its usage of factual elements, or at least the visual aspect of factual elements, many find it far more credible than other fiction movies.
In contrast, many find some docudramas to be full of arrant fiction, such as those who are opposed to the positions put frontward in docudramas like Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11. However, these films do incorporate a just sum of factual grounds, albeit manipulated in a certain manner.So, what is the difference between fact and fiction in movie?Well, the nucleus difference appears to be that factual movies are first and foremost about conveying truth, whereas fictional films may hold elements of truth in but their purpose is to entertain more than convey truth. Of class, with the current degrees of use in documental movies and the realistic feel of many fiction films, the borders between the two are film overing. This is particularly true with modern docudramas that are filmed in a really similar manner to fiction films, utilizing ocular effects and dramatic tools to set forward the facts.Besides, unless a docudrama is literally the unedited cinematography of an existent event, there is ever traveling to be some component of fictional reading in the content. No affair how dedicated the manager is to making an existent representation of the facts that is all it is – a representation. In that sense, it is similar to fiction, although the footing for the movie is more based in fact and non merely on imaginativeness.
If fact and fiction are so close though, what is the chief difference between them, as in how can we specify the ‘fact’ in docudrama? Well, in many ways it is about impossible to make this without researching each single docudrama on its factual virtues. The world is, even the most convincing and apparently true docudramas now use many of the techniques of fictional films to portray their thoughts and convince and entertain the audience. This can be seen clearly within the redacting techniques frequently used by documentarians to take facts and utilize them in the most convincing manner possible for the docket they are seeking to follow.
An illustration of this will be seen in the following subdivision.Editing docudramas to convey ‘truth’Simply conveying the natural truth is non plenty for many modern docudramas. They need to entertain the audience, daze and convince all in equal step. Therefore, the factual elements of the docudrama are frequently edited in a certain manner to do it look like the manner things really happened. Whilst the docudrama may be full of facts, they are portrayed in a manner that is non wholly accurate. A good illustration of the manner redacting the ocular representation can falsify the nature of truth in a docudrama is Michael Moore’s ‘Bowling for Columbine’ . Whilst many see Bowling for Columbine as an highly convincing and accurate history of the province of America at the clip, there are many redacting techniques that distort the facts to carry through Michael Moore’s ain docket.
This subdivision will look at some of those techniques and how they distort the nature of truth to convert the audience of a certain different set of facts. ( Hardy, 2003 )The first usage of redacting techniques to alter the nature of truth in Bowling for Columbine is about the thought of let go ofing captives for short visits out of captive. One such captive released was Willie Horton, a liquidator who when short-released escaped and so assaulted and raped a adult female. In the movie, two runs are merged together to propose Bush feared the black community and didn’t want people like this Lashkar-e-Taiba out. In world, the Bush advert did non demo that Horton was black.
Besides, assorted captions were added to the run to rise its impact. These techniques changed the nature of truth to do it more provocative, something that Moore continually does throughout the movie.Another piece of redacting shows the histrion Charlton Heston keeping a pro-gun mass meeting ten yearss after the Columbine slaughter. It is done to propose how the pro-gun anteroom the NRA were chesty and cold towards the deceases at Columbine.
In world, the meeting was required by jurisprudence to take topographic point, and all dinners and other events were cancelled at the event. The meeting had been scheduled long in progress and had to take topographic point. Albeit it might hold seemed cold, the grounds makes it seem like the mass meeting was in response to Columbine as a pro-gun salutation, which in fact is non wholly true. The addresss of Heston are shown emended and combined from different addresss, instead than being what he really said towards those mourning the deceases at Columbine. ( Hardy, 2003 )Another edit negotiations about Numberss of homicides in states compared to America, aimed to demo America has a much higher rated of gun violent deaths because of its gun policies. However, most of the figures are slightly different from any of the widely published annually homicide rates, and seem to take the lowest figures for states like Germany and Canada and so the highest figures for America by uniting statistics.
This inflates the difference between gun offenses in the assorted states, thereby back uping further back uping Moore’s ain docket.All of these cagey redaction techniques take points of truth and fact and so alter them around somewhat or wholly to foster the docket of the docudrama. Whilst it likely can non be said that Moore is straight-out lying, he is pull stringsing the truth towards his ain terminals. Whether you agree with Moore’s place or non or believe in his cause, the use of facts is difficult to warrant. The redaction of Bowling for Columbine changes the nature of the truth in the docudrama from what really happened to what Moore believed happened. Whilst you could reason that this is the instance for many of the docudramas or in fact that all docudramas contain some prejudice, this is a reasonably obvious illustration. In fact, many even say that this movie is non a docudrama, but instead something else.
Under Academy regulations it is in fact a non-fiction film, non technically a docudrama, despite winning ‘best docudrama at the awards. Whilst this is merely a proficient point, it shows how the definitions of docudrama are altering, traveling off from what we traditionally think of stand foring actuality to truly merely being fact-based vass of amusement that contain some truths and some fictional facets.This alteration is down to the manner in which movies use ocular representation these yearss to convey or change the nature of truth. This is non to state all these films are misdirecting or non true, but instead they are trying to equilibrate the demands of truth with amusement and the willingness of the audience to absorb certain truths.To exemplify this, two films will be analysed in item in footings of the manner they use ocular representation to demo the nature of truth in their fact-based movies. The two movies chosen are Touching the Void and United 93, both of which are modern fact-based movies that were extremely successful.Analysis of Touching the VoidTouching the Void is a fact-based characteristic movie released in 2003, about a mounting trip that goes disastrously incorrect.
Directed by Kevin Macdonald, it is based on the book of the same name, written by Joe Simpson. It follows the narrative of Joe Simpson and his mounting spouse Simon Yates. They were mounting a distant 21,000 pes high extremum in the Andes, and after making the acme began to fall. During the descent, Simpson fell off an ice shelf and broke his leg. ( Berardinelli, 2004 )It became dark and snowstorms began and as Yates began to take down his friend the rope jammed and he was forced to cut it before he excessively was pulled to his decease. Believing Simpson to be dead, Yates returned to establish cantonment in order to mount a hunt party. However, in an dumbfounding effort of courage and will to last, a crippled, hungering and frostbitten Simpson crawled his manner back to the cantonment merely earlier Yates was traveling to go forth to seek and happen him.Obviously, this narrative is full of a batch of truths and is possibly one of the most absorbing endurance narratives put into a film.
However, as it is adapted from a book the narrative is already rather good known, and so the purpose of the film is to grip you through systematically high degrees of suspense, every bit good as visually conveying to life the agonizing narrative.To make this the narrative itself is unbroken unfussy, non brooding on why these work forces climb but instead the human component of endurance, and how these work forces got through this state of affairs. To make a true sense of what occurs, the film-makers use arresting visuals, concentrating on the cold, rough world of an icy mountain. Deep crevasses, steep inclines and the beautiful yet endangering colorss of white and bluish ice are used to convey the power of nature.The promotional posting is a good illustration of this color strategy use:from hypertext transfer protocol: //www.contactmusic.com/new/film.nsf/reviews/touchingthevoidfrom hypertext transfer protocol: //www.
html? from=storyrhsThe purpose is to demo you the truth of how much these work forces went through. In the instance of this film, I don’t think the visuals could of all time be excessively dramatic, because the ordeal gone through by Simpson sounds genuinely hideous. The visuals could possibly be even more blunt and upseting, to convey precisely how bad the event was.
An illustration of the ocular intervention can be seen throughout the scene merely after Simpson wakes up from the rope being cut. The scene cuts between the distraught Yates who is seeking to soldier on after believing he had sent his friend to his decease, to Simpson stuck in a deep crevasse seeking to name for aid. The Visuals are non excessively dramatic, put merely demo the natural province of nature and the hapless physical status of Simpson, broken and frostbitten.
The visuals show him take downing himself into the deeper, dark crevasse. This is a symbol of how he is make up one’s minding that he has one opportunity to last, and take downing himself into the darkness is like looking into his ain possible decease. This is where he is so ‘Touching the Void’ .Fromhypertext transfer protocol: //www.offoffoff.com/film/2004/touchingthevoid.
phpAs with all the scenes in the film, the manager uses the visuals non for dramatization and to add to the consequence of the narrative, but in many ways to understate the whole series of events. This keeps the narrative to the truth, and makes it more effectual than if expansive effects and cliff-hanging music had been used. The film merely keeps to the natural elements of what is a genuinely singular narrative, and the nature of truth is preserved through the simple yet effectual ocular manner used throughout the film.As a modern docudrama, this is one of the closest to the ‘truth’ that there is. Adapted from the book written by Simpson, who of class was the adult male involved in the real-life event, the film does non try to over-dramatise or sensationalise the narrative. This is decidedly echoed in the visuals, which are at that place non as a tool to floor or entertain, but at that place to merely convey the narrative and give life to the scene. The visuals do non falsify or disrupt the truth as it is told, they simply provide the eyes with a compliment to the head.
This is one of the few docudramas that does non try to change the truth or utilize the truth to entertain, but merely to set across the narrative in its natural signifier. Alternatively of doing a ‘based on a true story’ type movie that adds artistic alterations and excess play to the crease, the movie was made as a simple piece where the chief purpose of the visuals is to convey the upseting truth of how hard the state of affairs was for these work forces.Analysis of United 93United 93 is rather a different type of fact-based movie to Touching the Void, as it chronicles the fatal flight of the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on September 11Thursday, 2001.
There were no subsisters, and so no manner to truly acquire the ‘truth’ of what happened inside that plane. Alternatively, the author and manager Paul Greengrass tries to patch together all the information recovered, and concentrate on giving a representation of what might hold happened.The movie focuses on the riders on the plane, and what their reactions would hold been whilst the events were blossoming. Of class most of this is speculation, apart from the calls made to relatives whilst on the plane and a few other spots of grounds recovered.
The movie is chiefly a human narrative, and the purpose of the visuals in this instance is non to merely convey the truth, but to seek and give the viewing audiences a sense of the horror of what happened on the plane. The purpose is to dramatize and rise the sense of feeling trapped inside the plane, and the options of those inside ( Stephens, 2006 ) . Most of the action takes topographic point in the plane, and the camera angles used convey the narrow and claustrophobic sense of being on a plane with terrorists and confronting at hand danger. Examples can be seen here:from hypertext transfer protocol: //www.moviethunder.com/r163.
htmlThe posting depicts the plane winging near New York and the Statue of Liberty, which of class did non happen on this flight but is done however as a dramatic and sensational advert for the film. This slightly tarnishes parts of the film that attempt to stay subdued and honest, compared to other scenes that are possibly excessively sensational or over-played to convey ‘truth’ .Whilst United 93 is a film that in some parts is highly respectful of the sensitive nature of the capable affair, it can besides play excessively much to the audience’s need for amusement. The film uses visuals good to set forward the sense of fright and isolation of being aboard a plane with terrorists on board, but visuals like the film posting and other parts in the movie besides travel off from the nature of truth and more into the kingdom of Hollywood commerce.However, for a film that can non genuinely derive the existent ‘truth’ due to the deficiency of informants, it does a good occupation of informing the audience of the temper and feelings of what was go oning inside the plane on that twenty-four hours. It is possibly every bit close to the truth as we can cognize, and its visuals complement the feelings that we would all travel through in such a state of affairs.DecisionThis thesis has tried to acquire to the nucleus issue of what is truth within documental film-making, and how the visuals used can portray that truth.
In decision, it seems that the true kernel of docudrama should ever be to convey the natural truth of actuality to the audience. However, other factors need to the taken into consideration, viz. the demand to entertain, the fact that some truths do non desire to be heard, and besides the prejudices of the film-maker. Whilst we might prefer the ‘unedited’ truth in each instance, this will non go on. In all documental films we can happen some degrees of truth that we might place with or understand as the feelings of what was traveling on at the clip.
Equally long as we remember that non everything we see, even in docudramas, will be the truth so we will be able to do up our ain head sing the truth.However, the hunt and push for truth is still what separates fact-based films from fiction, even if some of the fact-based movies can be highly broad of the grade. Despite this allowance for creativeness within the representation of actuality, we besides need to do certain that this is non taken excessively far. Examples such as Bowling for Columbine where redaction is used to be reasonably delusory and falsify the truth for an docket should non be portion of documental movie.The visuals of a documental movie should be used to state the narrative in its purest signifier, much like is done in ‘Touching the Void’ . Whilst this may non ever ‘entertain’ or give the audience what it wants, it preserves the nature of truth and makes the documental all the better for it.

Have you ever arranged to meet someone for the first time, only to miss them because you expected someone who looked quite different? But more serious would be to miss God Himself, just because He didn’t look like we expected…
This is exactly what happens in the second half of Mark’s Gospel. Jesus is the King. But He comes to serve and suffer, not to fight political battles. He is Israel’s Messiah. But He comes to judge those who believe they are already God’s people. He is the promised Rescuer, but He can’t even seem to save himself. Rejected by religious leaders, deserted by His followers, it seems everyone is missing who He really is.
Could we make the same mistake as the people of Jesus’ day? This Good Book Guide will help you to know and understand Jesus, just as Mark knew Him – nothing that people expected, but more than any of us could hope for. | <urn:uuid:4465634f-0c66-40c2-bc31-6b433eeafe6b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://daltonschristianbooks.com/product/mark-9-16-the-servant-king/?add-to-cart=2271 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.974714 | 242 | 1.84375 | 2 |

Walking through the streets of India, I believe the white man is recognized as someone going to the zoo. It’s sad. Everywhere we go, we wish to fit in. I do enjoy experiencing anything new, but sometimes, you get that strange feeling you are not wanted. You laugh too much. Your hat and jeans make you look pretentious and borderline offensive, your hair is dirty blonde, you walk on the wrong side of the dirt, and you ask too many questions. This is when you should know it’s time to leave the party. At the zoo, I believe the animals appreciate your presence and affection for about five minutes, then wish you to leave. Quite understandable.
In India, when anyone of our color shows up, we are initially a novelty item. One of those trinkets you purchase for three dollars and seventy three cents, only to enjoy it for about ten minutes. Then you get tired of it and send it to someone in another part of the planet so they can get tired of it too. Nevertheless, it’s out of your sight and quietly out of your mind.
Colors, pictures, smells, sounds and sights resonate through our television and texting senses. We forget touch. That’s when it becomes scary. If you see an animal on television, you think it’s cute. When you touch one at the zoo, sometimes, they get a bit agitated. And, they should. We are trespassing on their property. We are invading their space. It seems fun for about two hours, but you sense when it’s time to leave or retreat to the hotel.
Visiting a developing country is not always fun and games. I look at people and smile. Sometimes, they smile back, but other times they look at me with distain, wishing for me to leave. That’s why I’m not the one going to the zoo. Rather, I’m the one in the zoo. The stares consume you.
Initially, I thought I was the one going to the zoo in India. I was peering, taking pictures, using a camera in disbelief, ………..and then I noticed I wasn’t at the zoo, I was in the zoo. I was the one maintaining the funny voice making them laugh at me. I was the one wearing funny clothes making them chuckle. I was the one they wanted to take a flight, back to where I belong.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened new tariffs against Beijing after claiming there is evidence linking the coronavirus to a lab in China’s ground-zero city of Wuhan.
Asked if he had seen anything giving him a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of the outbreak, Trump replied, “Yes, I have.”
The Republican is increasingly making complaints over Beijing’s handling of the pandemic outbreak a major issue for his November reelection campaign.
He told reporters at the White House that US agencies were investigating how the virus first emerged and what China had done to stop it spreading to the rest of the world.
“We’ll be able to get a very powerful definition of what happened,” he said, adding that a report would be made to him “in the not too distant future.”
But even as the issue remains under probe, Trump said he already has suspicions.
“They could have stopped it,” he said, attacking China for not canceling international flights out of the country in time.
Several theories are circulating on how the virus appeared in Wuhan, including that it emerged from a market selling live animals or accidentally from the Wuhan research lab.
The US intelligence community said Thursday it had concluded that the novel coronavirus originated in China but was not man-made or engineered.
Pressed by reporters at the White House for details on what made him so confident about a link to the laboratory, Trump replied: “I cannot tell you that.”
Regardless of where blame lies for the outbreak, Trump is ramping up a war of words with Beijing, claiming again on Thursday that “China doesn’t want to see me reelected.”
Attention is now turning to what Trump will do in terms of threatened retaliation. The new tension comes only months after the US and China settled a trade war which had been roiling world markets.
Until now Trump has been notably vague on what measures he is considering but tariffs, he said, are a possibility.
But asked about reports that he could cancel US debt obligations to China, Trump said he could “do it differently” and act in “probably a little bit more of a forthright manner.”
“I could do the same thing but even for more money, just putting on tariffs,” he said. | <urn:uuid:c2b9180a-49de-4569-b7c4-06e98604ea7b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.xtra.net/news/world/donald-trump-evidence-ties-coronavirus-wuhan-lab | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.974686 | 507 | 1.765625 | 2 |
Guillaume DégéA Mustard Seed
Mixing collages and drawings, Guillaume Dégé’s works are dreamlike compositions between the real world and fantasized images. “Old engravings are combined with coloured pencils to form surreal exquisite cadavers: horses with the body of a flower, religious figures impregnated with watercolour, birds with noses or sex. “. This book was published in a trilingual version (French, English, Chinese) on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Semiose gallery between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. The presentation of the artist’s works is accompanied by contributions from renowned art historians such as Laurence Schmidlin, Fabrice Hergott and Ye Xin.

BY GRANT LANCASTER
A study found that although New York ranked among the top five states with the strongest coronavirus containment responses, the empire state’s public hospital and health emergency funding rated among the worst in the nation.
Personal finance website WalletHub used 35 metrics to compare the states and the District of Columbia’s responses to COVID-19 coronavirus, placing emphasis on virus containment, infrastructure and risk factors and economic impact.
New York’s measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus, including encouraging people to work from home, heightened cleaning measures in public places, curfews and school closures earned the state a 4th-place spot on WalletHub’s list, outdone only by Maryland, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Despite the good marks on reaction time, the study points to New York’s healthcare infrastructure as a major cause for concern, ranking 47th in public hospital quality and last, 51st, in emergency healthcare funding per capita.

1.1 Background of the Study With over 180 million people, Nigeria is the largest democracy in Africa (Nwankwo, 2017) and since the return of democratic rule in 1999 after decades of military dictatorships (Nwankwo, Okafor & Asuoha, 2017) one would expect that the primary features of electoral democracy would have at least germinated if not fully developed. At the moment, Nigerian democracy still exhibits features of authoritarianism. The significant difference is that while the conduct of elections might signify democracy, elections must be “free and fair” to pass as democratic. The principles of democratic self-government are irreconcilable with electoral shambles. Therefore, compliance with democratic norms in the contest signifies electoral democracy whereas the reverse is the case for electoral authoritarianism. Elections free from malpractice are therefore the springboard of democracy (Nwankwo et al., 2017), they serve as the conduit for peaceful change of government and boost and grant political legitimacy to the government (Ojo, 2008). Also, they genuinely involve the citizenry in political decision-making which engenders accountability and answerability. In most African countries, however, elections are anything but free and fair with violence and vote-buying being significant characteristics (Bratton, 2008). Ideally, in a democracy, seeking electoral support is expected to be an open debate of reasoned arguments about why specific political candidates are most competent for election to office (Heywood, 2007). Candidates are supposed to compete for popular support by presenting programs of public good to stake out competitive positions by persuading the median voter at the centre of the political spectrum (Nichter, 2008). Electorates then elect the candidate whose policy and programmes most directly reflect their own set of preference. | <urn:uuid:d78e3779-25ca-41ad-8e3d-41d780e51343> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://eduproject.com.ng/international-relations/poverty-and-vote-selling-in-nigerian-election-study-of-2019-general-election/index.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.941907 | 366 | 3.265625 | 3 |
Arthritis affects 20 percent of adult dogs in the U.S., making it one of the most common causes of chronic pain in canines, according to the Arthritis Foundation. This degenerative joint disease is marked by decreasing cartilage and synovial fluid, leaving bones unprotected against painful friction and wear. Only your veterinarian can diagnose arthritis after obtaining a complete medical history, performing a physical examination, excluding other causes of your dog's symptoms, and administering X-rays or other tests.
"Joint supplements are commonly used to slow the progression of arthritis in dogs and to ease associated symptoms."
While lifestyle changes can greatly improve your arthritic dog's quality of life, supplements, pet medications, and other forms of medical treatment are usually necessary to control pain and inflammation and prevent further joint degeneration. Never give your pet a product made for humans unless explicitly instructed to do so by your veterinarian; many human products are toxic to dogs.
Managing Arthritis with Dietary Supplements
Nutritional supplements are commonly used to slow the progression of arthritis in dogs and to ease associated symptoms. Effective products supply compounds that help protect and rebuild cartilage and increase joint lubrication. Joint supplements containing chondroitin, glucosamine, avocado soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and/or hyaluronic acid (HA) are good options. Supplemental fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and related pain, and increased antioxidant intake may also be of benefit to arthritic dogs.
Treating Arthritis with Medications
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, are typically a major part of therapy for arthritis. They are useful because they treat both the inflammation and the pain associated with the condition. Aspirin, carprofen, and etodolac are NSAIDs frequently used in dogs. Your veterinarian may also recommend other over-the-counter or prescription-strength painkillers or anti-inflammatory agents, depending on the severity of your dog's condition and other individual factors. Corticosteroids, for example, may be useful for severe cases.
Other Forms of Medical Intervention
When joint degeneration and related symptoms are particularly severe, treatment beyond dietary supplements and medication may be necessary. Visco-supplementation with a product like Adequan Canine is one option that involves the injection of a lubricating substance such as hyaluronic acid directly into affected joints. In the most severe cases, surgery is a treatment option. Affected joints may be replaced, cartilage debris can be removed from joints via arthroscopic incisions, bone protrusions may be removed to relieve friction, and other operations can repair problematic joint and bone structures or alignments as needed.

Emphasis of Medical Research on Peptides to Augur Well for Egg White Peptides Development
All types of peptides illustrate the attribute of mimicking behavior of natural ligands – substances that interact with receptors/enzymes/cells for aiding biological processes, and egg white peptides are no exception. Egg white peptides have been perceived to show insulin sensitizing and mimetic effects in the 3T3-F442A pre-adipocytes. Additionally, several studies demonstrate the budding of bioactive peptides derived from egg white ovotransferrin in managing inflammation, hypertension, and oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro.
These attributes have further enabled drugs derived from peptides in targeting diseases with more precision and fewer side effects compared to small-molecule drugs. Peptides are becoming the future of medical research and drug development in light of their selectiveness, higher potency, and more safety. This will further rub off on the development and demand for egg white peptides in the forthcoming years.
According to the report, consumption of both types of egg white peptide, viz. di- and tri-peptides, is almost equal in current market condition, nearing around 44,000 kgs collectively. "Owing to its properties, the demand for Tri-peptides is growing rapidly and by the end of forecast period it is estimated that Tri-peptides will account for half of the total egg white peptide consumption by the end of 2026", said Senior Analyst at Fact.MR.
Global Egg White Peptide Market – Consolidated though Room for Expansion
The global market for egg white peptides is predominantly consolidated, with likes of Kewpie occupying the larger curve of pie, followed by Newtricious and Merck KgaA. Other prominent players participating in the market include Deb-el Food, Herbal Innovation, and Maypro Industries.

Why are reported profits for the S&P 500 Index so much higher than normalized profits? Although implied earnings per share (EPS) under Shiller’s CAPE P/E10 and Crestmont’s normalized P/E are expected to be near $90 in 2019, the current forecast for as-reported GAAP EPS is $165.
Why are wages relatively stagnant overall (and declining as a percentage of the economy) while corporate profits increase as a percentage of GDP?
Why does the stock market appear so overvalued to many analysts when, in reality, it may be near fairly valued?
In summary, (1) increased profit margins are the result of slower economic growth; (2) the related increase in EPS will be offset by a lower market P/E and thus will not provide stock market gains; and (3) future returns will remain muted despite an apparently lower level for P/E in the future.

New measures from Chrome will mean less users are taken advantage of or exploited.
As the world’s most popular web browser, Google Chrome is responsible for the internet experiences of the majority of the world’s online population.
Recently, the browser saw a small number of web content producers abuse the internet’s flexibility and power to take advantage of users and redirect them to unintended destinations.
A trio of measures
One out of five user feedback reports received by Chrome mention encountering some form of unwanted content, and Chrome is responding by rolling out three new protections for users to reduce instances of unwanted behaviour.
1. Blocking annoying redirects
Chrome said it regularly hears from users that a page will unexpectedly navigate to a new page, seemingly without any rhyme or reason. The team found that the redirects often come from third-party content embedded in the page, and usually is nothing to do with the page author.
In Chrome 64, all redirects from third-party iframes are now going to be visible as an infobar instead of a redirect, unless the user has been interacting with the iframe. This will keep you on the page you’re reading, without any annoying redirect jumps.
2. Unwanted page openings
Another example Chrome gave was when clicking a link opens the desired site destination in a new tab, but the main window navigates to an unwanted, different page. This is essentially a circumvention of Google’s pop-up blocker. In Chrome 65, this behaviour will be detected, triggering an infobar. The main tab will then be prevented from redirecting to an undesired web address.
3. Tackling sneaky pop-up blocker workarounds
Finally, Chrome is tackling some of the more subtle grievances that affect our web browsing: links to third-party websites disguised as play buttons or other site controls like an exit button or arrow, and transparent overlays on certain websites that capture all clicks and open new windows or tabs.
Beginning in early January, Chrome’s pop-up blocker will prevent sites with these types of abusive experiences from opening new tabs or windows. Chrome has also launched an Abusive Experiences Report in the Google Search Console, where site owners can see if any of the above experiences are detected on their pages. Abusive experiences left unaddressed for 30 days will mean tabs and new windows on the affected site are prevented.
A new browsing experience
These new measures should go a long way to make users’ web browsing a more straightforward and transparent experience.
They could also be helpful in the avoidance of malicious pop-ups or other suspicious links. | <urn:uuid:c4f217c2-3e79-421e-a497-e3e26332d05d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/google-chrome-new-protections | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.901878 | 543 | 1.976563 | 2 |

Hi everyone. I hope everyone who had Memorial Day off enjoyed it! If you are not from the U. S., it is a day we honor military personnel who have died while serving our country.
Often, volunteers place flags and/or wreaths on graves of fallen soldiers. For most of us, it's a reminder that others gave their life for our freedom. It also unofficially marks the beginning of summer, at least here in Texas where it is already HOT outside!
Our little granddaughter was visiting this weekend, and I got to thinking about songs and nursery rhymes we used to sing when we were little. They were catchy little tunes, but as it turns out, they were heavy with symbolism. For example, Ring Around the Rosie.
The disease was actually carried by rats and fleas, but back then, it was believed that the Plague was spread through bad smells, so they would carry posies (flowers) and hold them up to their faces as protection against bad smells.
Did you also know the fear of smells is why doctors wore those ridiculous beak masks that are scarier than heck? They worked in a similar way to gas masks. And apparently, people with Bubonic Plague emitted some foul odors!
Ashes, ashes... Victims were burned when they died. This could be what is referred to here, or it simply mimics the sound of a sneeze, another symptom. (Some people think it says, "A tissue, a tissue."
We all fall down... This represents that many people with the Plague died. 30-60% of Europe's population was wiped out due to Plague.
So much for a fun children's nursery rhyme! How about some laughs?
|Gotta love those dad jokes.. and no, I did not write "favoritest!" I know better!|
|Anyone else have trouble with passwords?|
|Follow me for more tips!|

Update: Just a small correction. We've been informed that the USCCB Mandatum is actually unacceptable and flies in the face of the rubrics from Rome.
Edit: It should come as no surprise that in the decadent post-Conciliar age, that quite a few parishes aren't concerned about the rubrics. During Holy Week, on Thursday, there is what is called, the Mandatum, or the washing of feet, which requires that men only are chosen.
Barb Kralis was kind enough to forward the USCCB's surprisingly good ruling on this question.
At least one Minneapolis parish, and likely many more, are going to violate the rubrics and carelessness with respect to the things that are God's. St. Mary's Basilica is one of two such buildings with this honor in the United States. It has a reputation for dissent and abusing the Sacraments. It's quite possible that blasphemy is committed there every Sunday.
Despite boasting a large number of parishioners, there is no evidence that the Sacrament of Penance is regularly available, but you can present yourself as an "Ecological Steward".
The Basilica, which often features many Liturgical abuses, including ad libbing by its priests and pastor, omitting the creed, omitting gestures and creating an atmosphere hostile to Christianity, is going to engage in that Liturgical abuse this year. They've provided us with proof that they've done this in the past.
Despite efforts to get a statement from the Pastor, he refuses to say if he supports the Archbishop's campaign in defense of marriage and continues to feature the "art" of Lucinda Naylor, who was fired from the Basilica religious education office for dissenting from the Archbishop's work as Bishop.
|From Parish Website|
No word on whether or not a Rabbi will discuss cabala and utter trivial comments which defame Catholic teachings this year as he did last year. He's an important part of the parish's universal contempt for the Church, Her ministers and teachings.
Holy Thursday Mandatum
My parish liturgy committee has decided to allow both men and women to take part in the washing of the feet at the liturgy on Holy Thursday. I have always heard that only men may have their feet washed. Which does the Church allow?The rubric for Holy Thursday, under the title THE WASHING OF FEET, reads:
"After the Homily, where a pastoral reason suggests it, the Washing of Feet follows. The men who have been chosen (viri selecti) are led by the ministers to seats prepared in a suitable place. Then the priest (removing his chasuble if necessary) goes to each one, and, with the help of the ministers, pours water over each one's feet and then dries them."
Regarding the phrase viri selecti, the Chairman of the then-Committee on the Liturgy, after a review of the matter by the committee, authorized the following response which appeared in the Newsletter of February 1987:

It is that time of the Code cycle again. Over 3,580 proposed changes were submitted to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to amend the 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC). The 2005 NFPA-70 committees have been reduced from twenty code-making panels (CMP) to nineteen as a result of shifts in responsibilities in an effort to more evenly distribute the workloads among the panels. Many of the code-making panel responsibilities have not changed. A summary of only those shifts in responsibility as a result of reducing from twenty to nineteen panels can be found here
These nineteen code-making panels met in January 2003 and took action on proposed changes to articles of the Code falling within the scope of the respective panel’s responsibility. This article provides a preview of the significant proposed changes and is the first of a two-part series to provide a brief summary of the actions accepted by the panels.
The NEC is amended on a three-year cycle and follows the ANSI- approved, NFPA open consensus process of developing codes and standards. The process is an opportunity for all to submit proposals and public comments. Proposal and comment forms are readily available for anyone who wishes to participate and everyone is encouraged to do so. The Report on Proposals (ROP) will be available for public review in July 2003. Code-making panels are required to act on proposals and comments submitted to them.
IAEI has assembled in this article a summary of some of the more significant proposals accepted by the panels in the first phase of the Code development process. This summary is not an indication that the Code is going to be revised as provided in this article, just that this is the initial action taken by the code-making panels, in the proposal stage of the process. Public comments and actions by the panels during the Report on Comments (ROC) meeting in December can have an impact on what has been accepted initially. Public comments to the proposed changes are strongly encouraged and needed for the best result. The IAEI is dedicated and committed to the NEC development process as evidenced by the participation in the panel hearings. IAEI seats a principal and an alternate representative on each CMP to represent the enforcement segment of the industry and provide the perspective of the electrical inspector.
In recent code cycles, significant emphasis has been placed on making the NEC a more user-friendly document. Some of the recent revisions that addressed the user-friendly issues include minimizing the use of fine print notes (FPNs) or eliminating them where possible, changing exceptions to positive text, and reorganizing and renumbering to provide a parallel numbering scheme between articles on the various wiring methods. The 2002 NEC experienced a major restructuring in Chapter 3 that incorporated many of the above-mentioned revisions and also included the relocation of articles covering equipment, such as switches and switchboards and panelboards to Chapter 4 of the Code, which was appropriate as these articles covered equipment rather than wiring methods or materials. Many involved in the day-to-day use of the Code saw these revisions as significant; and in many cases shocking, and they were resistant to these changes.
In the 2005 cycle a few more efforts were enacted that are intended to address usability issues. Guidance to the nineteen code-making panels was to address the term “listed for the purpose” where it appears throughout the Code. Basically, the panels have been directed to address this term and clarify what is actually required and, where possible, state what the purpose is. Another area addressed in the 2005 cycle is Article 220. The goal of the usability task group was to restructure and bring clarity to the provisions of Article 220, “Branch-Circuit, Feeder, and Service Calculations.” Two terms computed and calculated that were used in Code rules to mean essentially the same thing have been changed to calculated throughout for consistency throughout the NEC as well as to harmonize with the term calculated as used in other NFPA standards.
The following provides a brief summary of the proposed changes and includes the proposal number, the section, and a short description of how each of these sections was revised as a result of panel actions. This article is part one of a two-part series. Part two will follow in the September/October issue of the IAEI News
Article 90 Introduction
New 90.2(B)(4) and (5) FPN
A new fine print note (FPN) has been added to this section to provide additional clarification and information as to what constitutes a “utility” as the word is used in this section. The information in the FPN explains in general terms that city, county, state, and federal government bodies regulate the installation, operation and maintenance of utilities. Utilities may also be subject to requirements and regulations by public service commissions or other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. The FPN also indicates that utilities falling under such regulations are subject to meeting applicable codes and standards covering these installations or activities relevant to their industry as adopted under governmental law or regulation.
The revision to this section clarifies when the soft conversion shall be used in Code rules where a negative impact on safety would result. The term “hard conversion shall not be required” has been revised from permissive language to the mandatory language “soft conversion shall be used” as incorporated in the revision. This should provide additional clarity and eliminate confusion that may have existed resulting from the current 2002 wording in the section. The soft conversion is considered a direct mathematical conversion and does not involve a change in the actual dimension as compared to the hard conversion, which is a change in dimension or properties of an item that might or might not be interchangeable with the original measurement.
Article 100 Definitions
New Article 100 Definition of Abandoned Cable
This term was introduced into several articles in the 2002 cycle and also was included in rules to these various articles that require removal of abandoned cables. To meet NEC Style Manual requirements, the term has been defined in Article 100; and this definition is consistent with the definitions of abandoned cable in each individual article. The definition is consistent with the use of the term in the NEC.
New Article 100 Definition of Bonding Jumper, System
The new definition is intended to clarify and differentiate between a main bonding jumper, which, by definition, is located at the service and a system bonding jumper, which essentially functions the same at separately derived systems. The current term used in 250.30(A)(1) is bonding jumper and will be replaced with system bonding jumper, thus requiring a definition for the new term. This change also will coordinate with other proposed changes made to existing grounding and bonding terminology used in Article 250 and other areas of the NEC.
Revision Article 100 Definition of Grounding Electrode Conductor
The revision removes the term “from a common service” and adds the words “supplied by feeders or branch circuits” to the definition. The proposed change is not intended to impact current requirements of the definition, only to clarify that separate buildings or structures are generally supplied by feeder(s) or branch circuit(s) and are not necessarily always supplied from a common service. The changes proposed also promote consistency with the requirements of Article 225 and proposed revisions to Section 250.32 that remove the term “supplied from a common service” from that section.
Revision Article 100 Definition of Qualified Person. Add new FPN
A new FPN has been added to the definition of qualified person to provide additional clarification and examples of what types of skills, knowledge, and training are necessary to meet the definition and true meaning of qualified person as it is used in numerous sections of the Code.
Article 110 Requirements for Electrical Installations
Revision 110.16 Flash Protection
This section was new for the 2002 NEC and has been revised to become more restrictive for the 2005. The revision will now require additional information that includes the incident energy levels(s) in calories per centimeter squared as well as the level of personal protective equipment and/or clothing required. The revision is safety driven and is intended to aid in proper selection of protective clothing or equipment where equipment must be worked on while energized. A new FPN has also been added to this section which provides a reference to IEEE Std. 1584-2002, IEEE Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations to assist users of the Code on where to obtain necessary information to ensure compliance with this section.
New 110.20 Enclosure Types
A new section was added here that parallels the provisions of 430.91, which includes enclosure information and a new table that provides the permitted uses for various types of electrical enclosures. The new section adds the requirements in text and tabular form just as is provided in Article 430. By inserting the information into Article 110, the enclosure requirements become a general requirement for electrical enclosures as referred to throughout the NEC and not limited to those covered by Article 430.
Article 200 Use and Identification of Grounded Conductors
This change reorganizes the section into a list format and clarifies the identification requirements for grounded conductors where grounded conductors of different systems are installed in the same enclosure or raceway. The revision clearly indicates methods by which these grounded conductors are permitted to be identified so as to be distinguished more readily from one another. The revision also incorporates the words “or gray” within this section to provide consistency with the color identification permitted by 200.6(A) and 200.6(B) and more directly correlates with those sections. A new sentence was added to indicate that the means of identification shall be permanently posted at each branch-circuit panelboard.
Article 210 Branch Circuits
Revision Articles 210 and 220 – Revise the term guest room as used in these articles.
This revision resulted from a recommendation by the Technical Correlating Committee to clarify what is intended to be covered by the term guest room as the term is used in Articles 210 and 220. The term has been changed from guest room to guest rooms or suites, which clarifies that the requirements apply whether a single room is involved or a suite, which can include multiple rooms or a suite. A proposal for new definition of the term guest suite was accepted by Panel 1 which will correlate with the changes in terminology incorporated into Articles 210 and 220.
This proposal was accepted in part to include additional requirements for GFCI protection for 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located outdoors and in public places in other than dwelling units. The new requirement is not intended to be applicable for those areas where the public does not have access.
Revision 210.12(B) and add a new exception
This section has been revised to indicate that a listed AFCI, combination-type device is required to be installed for protection of the entire branch circuit. A new exception has been added that will permit the location of the AFCI device to be where the branch circuit originates or, by exception, installed within 1.8 m (6 ft) of where the branch circuit originates. The conductors installed between the branch-circuit overcurrent device and the AFCI device for the length of up to 1.8 m (6 ft) must be installed in a metal raceway or cable with a metallic sheath to meet the provisions of the exception.
Article 220 Branch-Circuit, Feeder, and Service Calculations
Revision Article 220 Branch-Circuits, Feeders, and Service Calculations
Article 220 was restructured and arranged to provide a more logical layout and address usability. The revisions were the result of efforts of a usability task group assigned by the Technical Correlating Committee. Additional proposals to revise Article 200 were appropriately incorporated into the acceptance of the proposal by the task group to restructure the article.
New 220.3 Application of Other Articles
This change inserts language to reference other articles applying to calculations of loads in specific applications. They are provided in Table 220.3 that are in addition to, or modifications of, those requirements contained in Article 220. The table now includes a cross reference to the appropriate article and section to enhance usability.
Article 225 Outside Branch Circuits and Feeders
Revision 225.16 and 225.17
These sections have been renumbered as 225.16(A) and (B) and 225.17 was revised to add a reference to “masts” as a means of support to clarify that masts used as support means for overhead branch circuits or feeders are required to meet the same requirements presently found in 230.28 for service masts. The revisions to these sections provided consistency and uniformity between the support means and points of attachment for overhead branch circuits or feeders.
The term standby systems was replaced with the term optional standby systems as directed by the TCC and is consistent with the language presently used in Article 702. Inserting the word “optional” provides reasonable assurances that the appropriate article will be applied based on the type of system installed in these locations.
Figure 1. Proposal 4-26a, revision 225.32, addresses inside and outside disconnecting means respectively
Revision – 225.32
The revision of this text combines Sections 225.31 and 225.32 for clarity and usability.
The requirements in former Section 225.32 were combined and organized into Sections 225.31(A)(1) and (2) covering inside and outside disconnecting means locations respectively. This section was also revised to add the wording “on or within sight from the building or structure supplied” to this section. Incorporating the term within sight from in this section relative to the required disconnecting means for separate buildings or structures provides reasonable clarity as to the permitted location of the disconnecting means where it might not be mounted directly on the building or structure. The term within sight from is defined in Article 100 as visible and not more than 15 m (50 ft) in distance from the building or structure (see figure 1).
Article 230 Services
Revision 230.23(A) Change in terminology for consistency
This revision changes the word “computed” to the word “calculated” in this section as a result of the efforts of the NEC Usability Task Group to standardize the language used throughout the NEC. Essentially the two words had the same meaning in the Code rules where they appeared so the same word should be used for clarity. This revision in this section and the rest of the NEC where these words are used provides uniformity in the NEC and harmonizes with the same terms used in other NFPA Standards.
Revision 230.44 Cable Trays
This section was revised to clarify that cable tray used to support “service-entrance conductors” is not permitted to support conductors other than service-entrance conductors. A new exception was added to clarify that cable trays provided with suitable barriers compatible with the tray are permitted to separate the service-entrance conductors from the other conductors supported by the same cable tray.
Figure 2. Proposal 4-86a is consistent with a similar proposed change to insert similar requirements in Article 225, which addresses outside feeder or branch-circuit disconnecting means
The revisions in 230.70(A) include renumbering the section to separate the inside location requirements from the outside location requirements. The words “on or within sight from the building or structure served” were added to new subdivision 230.70(A)(1)(a) which will permit the disconnect located outside the building or structure to be installed on the building or structure or located “within sight from” which, by definition, allows the disconnect to be remote but the building and service disconnect must be visible from one another and at a distance not to exceed 1.8 m (50 ft). This proposed change provides needed clarification to this section and is consistent with a similar proposed change to insert similar requirements in Article 225, which addresses outside feeder or branch-circuit disconnecting means locations (see figure 2).
This revision will now allow an additional disconnection means supplying a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) to be exempt from the “six disconnects” requirement of 230.71(A) when the disconnect is installed as a part of listed equipment. Previous language did not recognize TVSS equipment as exempt from meeting the “six disconnects” rule. The requirement for the additional disconnecting means being part of listed equipment assures that the TVSS will be connected on the load side of the service disconnect as required by product standards and 285.21(A)(1).
The revisions to this section add “meter socket transfer switches” to the list of equipment permitted to be installed ahead of the service disconnecting means. The provision is applicable to equipment rated not in excess of 600 volts. The term meter disconnect switches was relocated to a new item (3) and minimum short-circuit current rating requirements for these types of meter socket disconnects was also added.

Remote physical education (PE) classes began this week, in an effort to allow seniors still in need of PE credit to fulfill their requirements and to provide other students with a healthy option for exercise amidst social distancing. The athletics department announced in March in an all-student email that it will continue to offer five PE classes in digital form.
With the closure of most athletic facilities, both at the College and in communities around the world, the athletics department faced the task of creating a variety of courses which students could follow at home. The five options offered are Express at Home Fitness, Williams Wellness Online, Walk/Run, Open Level Yoga and an independent course.
“[The choice of class options] was based on what our PE faculty felt they could teach in a remote model,” Assistant Professor of Physical Education Carolyn Miles said. The courses were designed to “encourage people to move how they can, where they are,” according to Miles.
Over 300 students have already signed up to take at least one of the classes, with enrollment preference given to those who have yet to fulfill their PE requirement. Like academic lectures and seminars, the classes will deliver instruction online, taking advantage of asynchronous meeting options and the removal of space limits.
As a result, over 90 students have enrolled in Yoga, among the most popular offerings. “Normally, enrollment is limited to 24 students per class,” said Mary Edgerton, the course’s instructor. “But given that mat space in the studio is no longer a factor, that the practice is so accessible at home and that yoga is beneficial to reducing stress and anxiety, we opened up enrollment.”
Edgerton said that a challenge for her will be balancing the needs of her returning students with those of students who may have never done yoga before at all, let alone remotely. “Many of the students who have signed up for my class are returning from another quarter, so I know their practice and they know me,” she said. “It will undoubtedly be a challenge to connect with and inspire students who are new to yoga, and I hope to be able to schedule some private sessions for this group only.”
Students can also have the increased ability to customize their personal PE experience. In the independent course, for example, students create their own workout routine that can “consist of any type of movement such as runs, hikes, walks, yoga, push-ups, Pilates and/or any workout that you can create for yourself under the current ‘safer at home’ constraints,” according to the course’s introductory email.
Despite the additional freedom, students must still fulfill certain requirements from their instructors to earn the credit. Exact details vary from class to class. In the independent course, students are required to exercise for a fixed number of minutes and report back to their instructor every week. Faculty will also be able to monitor student participation remotely.
“I will be able to monitor how many hours students have watched/participated each week, and the goal is for them to practice about 2 or 2.5 hours per week,” Edgerton said, though she emphasized that the purpose of her class is to “[facilitate] a place and time where students can let go of stress and feel a sense of balance and peacefulness in their lives.”
“The honor code has always been used as people self-report,” said Michelyn Pinard, instructorof the independent course. “I am not invested in how intense the workouts are, but rather that people are moving their body in a way that helps keep them mentally and physically well.”
Pinard added that the course “has always given people a lot of flexibility in how they design their workouts and will provide an opportunity for people to get their PE credit done this quarter while encouraging students to move.”
Prior to the outbreak, official College policy required students to complete a minimum of four PE credits to graduate, with all four credits completed before the end of sophomore year for students studying abroad. According to Miles, that requirement will remain in place despite the circumstances.
“There are very few seniors who need to complete this milestone,” Miles said. “The College will work with students who are in difficult situations that we are made aware of.”
In addition to the PE requirement, all students must complete a swim test before they graduate, which most students complete early in their first year. For students who had not learned to swim prior to their time at the College however, the athletics department offers a beginner’s swim class and, upon completion, later opportunities to take the swim test.
Miles said that the College is still working on solutions for seniors who have not taken the swim test. “For those students who are not seniors, we will work with them once we are back on campus,” she said.
The College also seeks to encourage healthy living habits for students who decided not to enroll in PE classes next semester. A student engagement team, headed by Dean of the College Marlene Sandstrom, will seek to help students stay healthy remotely. “This group will talk about ways to promote both physical and emotional wellbeing while most of our students are in other locations as one of our topics,” said Miles, who represents the athletic department on the team. | <urn:uuid:5d9407a0-1de0-447a-bb24-69fdd4f53d12> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://williamsrecord.com/273035/sports/physical-education-classes-continues-through-remote-learning/?print=true | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.974876 | 1,116 | 1.523438 | 2 |
Love, care, warmth, and affection are few common attributes that every creature needs to nurture and grow! Just like humans, even animals are fond of such pampering and enjoy being caressed by their masters. Although most pets offer you security against intruders, they love dwelling in a nice sheltered ambiance. Recent research about why animals like to be pets has come with many such unexplored facts about their behavior and the neuron play that controls their brain.
Isn’t it exciting to learn what your pets think about you? Let’s intervene in some detailed study on why these mammals get a ‘feel-good’ factor while you are petting them.
Why animals like to be pet?
Is it a neuron game?
Researchers have recently studied that neurons in the brain of animals generate sensations and make them feel ‘loved’ or ‘hated.’ They pertain to a large set of such neurons that analyze and respond to various sensations. Few common actions like prodding, pinching, or poking on any animal’s skin can evoke certain sensations that provokes them to give an instant reaction. Next time when you fear a dog bite, check if you have given them an angry weird look or not!
Why do we stay in a family? Can we stay without family, friends, and other loved ones? No, because it is a human tendency to nurture themselves around a lovable ambiance. The same thing applies to animals as well. When pets experience a calm, soothing, and pleasurable surrounding, they act differently behave well. Almost all mammals have hairy skin, and the sensation that you give over their skin makes a huge difference. So now, you can figure out why animals like to be petted and enjoy petting immensely.
Social grooming is another reason!
It is still unclear what animals love about petting! But, some experts claimed that cuddling and stroking the animal hair helps them in social grooming. Pets love and embrace the sessions when you mildly brush them or snuggle them close to you. The sensitive and love-filled touch to various mammals soothes their anxiety and helps them to calm down. Just like humans need a tight hug when they are in despair, the same is the case with animals.
Have you experienced the happiness of your furry friend when you come home and pat their backs? Petting is a wonderful therapy that most people fail to understand, and the fact is every creature in this world needs it. Social grooming makes it significant that animals get a chance to learn the mannerisms and tactics for self –development. This not just brings a change in their nature but also influence their hormone levels as well.
Have you noticed a dog enjoying belly rub? Cats make an instant purr when you scratch mildly between their ears and make them happy. Hugs and kisses intensify the pleasure and comfort of pets. They feel wanted, and experiencing this feeling is different for them. Skin rub is also common in humans as you immediately rub the skin if accidentally hurt somewhere. All these touching senses manage the emotional state of your pets. Animals can easily identify a love-filled or a fake touch and react accordingly. A long and slight stroking motion always imparts them a better feeling.

Wandering animals often get furious as they have to suffer extreme climatic conditions such as winters, summer, and rains. Many times, they are also unable to find themselves a filling meal, which adds to their despair. Contradicting to this scenario, pets have the security of a home and timely meals fed with love and attention. This automatically keeps them relaxed, and they get the security of necessities. This plays a significant part in petting fun, and that is the reason why a canine friend can be your most loyal housemate.
Every mammal who is social by nature, making new friends, and generating good bonds is always a therapy that makes them feel special. When you clean their fur and remove parasites that are irritating them, it is the best gesture for them. Hanging out, socializing, and having playful dates with other are few aspects of petting that allures them to be one. Good hygiene, good food, secure shelter, and familial bonds are a few aspects that affect the mental and physical health of the pets that makes them feel happier and healthier. The above-stated points can give a fair idea of why animals like to be petted! | <urn:uuid:ded5a900-d832-4b5e-929f-fc2f4288a455> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.fourpawsquare.com/2020/10/12/why-animals-like-to-be-pet/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.952842 | 963 | 2.78125 | 3 |
AHA News: Unique Market Ensures St. Louis Gets Its 'Medicine' – Healthy Food
FRIDAY, Nov. 1, 2019 (American Heart Association News) -- Every other Thursday, Kathryn McNary watches out the window of her apartment in St. Louis for the mail truck to arrive.
As soon as she spots it, she goes to the lobby with her shopping bag to pick up her produce from The Link Market, an innovative program begun in 2017 to supply St. Louis residents with healthy, affordable food. The nonprofit uses a retrofitted former mail truck for the delivery.
Link Market provides food in several ways. It operates two mini-markets set up in shipping containers near metro stops and offers mobile markets at two city health clinics. The newest program, which started this year, consists of pop-up shops at a growing number of subsidized senior housing complexes, where Link also delivers pre-ordered groceries.
McNary, who lives in senior housing, always phones in her order ahead of time, often requesting green peppers, onions, sweet potatoes and orange juice. When possible, the food is sourced by local farms, including her favorite Polish sausage.
"I'm so thankful for them," the 67-year-old said. "I do drive, but a lot of people here don't, and some can't walk well either, so this is a blessing."
Jeremy Goss started Link Market when he was a medical student at St. Louis University School of Medicine.
Raised in Houston, he was introduced to St. Louis during his medical school interview. With a goal of helping children as a pediatric plastic surgeon, Goss told the dean interviewing him that he wanted to move to South America "to take care of the world's most vulnerable people."
"He told me, 'You don't have to go all the way there to make a difference; you can do it here in St. Louis,'" recalled Goss. He was convinced after learning about the hardships many residents face after decades of segregation, racism and poverty. More than 1 in 5 residents live in poverty in the city of about 303,000 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
"After I moved to St. Louis, I didn't know what to do to give back at first," he said. "Then I started seeing patients having worse and worse health outcomes: diabetes, strokes, heart attacks. So many of those are informed by nutrition."
But he understood simply telling patients to eat better or exercise more wasn't enough.
"So many folks can't even afford healthy food or don't have access to it," he said. "Meanwhile, we have so many medicines to manage health problems. Food is medicine. We need to treat food with same level of importance as prescription medication."
Goss estimates Link serves about 30,000 families a year. He partners with farmers and community gardens to get fresh produce in large quantities at low prices. SNAP federal food assistance payments are accepted, and customers receive a discount for locally grown fruits and vegetables.
"We're doing our best to offer a grocery store experience," he said. "We sell packaged foods, meat and dairy, but we're emphasizing fruits and vegetables. Some of the food is grown at Fresh Starts Community Garden in one of the neighborhoods we service, which means everyone in the community is benefitting."
Goss is now a surgical resident in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Yale New Haven Hospital but continues to lead Link Market, which recently received a $20,000 grant from the American Heart Association's EmPowered to Serve Business Accelerator Program.
He is particularly excited about Link's newest effort – a 1,000-square-foot brick-and-mortar grocery store inside a new housing project. The Link Market at Renaissance Place, being developed in partnership with the St. Louis Housing Authority, is scheduled to open in February.
"What folks in food deserts truly deserve is a brick-and-mortar store," he said. "We hope to put them in more neighborhoods, and we hope they'll be a great model for other cities."
For McNary, who recalls when St. Louis was filled with thriving neighborhood shops, Link Market is more than a convenient way to shop for healthy food.
"It's a more personal way to shop," she said. "You really feel like you're part of the community." | <urn:uuid:d64112f7-8975-4855-b06c-705ffe125700> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://consumer.healthday.com/cardiovascular-health-information-20/misc-stroke-related-heart-news-360/aha-news-unique-market-ensures-st-louis-gets-its-medicine-ndash-healthy-food-751823.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571911.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813081639-20220813111639-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.97617 | 901 | 1.84375 | 2 |
There are many reasons why you might need to keep food warm without electricity, whether you’re facing a power outage or you’re taking a dish to a potluck. Fortunately, there are a few simple methods you can use to keep food warm.
Using Chafing Dish
If you have a chafing dish, you can use it to how to keep food warm without electricity. All you need is a can of Sterno and some aluminum foil. Place the food in the chafing dish and cover it with foil. Then, light the Sterno and place it underneath the dish. The heat from the Sterno will help to keep the food warm.
Using Aluminum Foils and Towels
Aluminum foil and towels are two common household items that can be used to keep food warm. If you’re using aluminum foil, simply wrap the food in the foil and then place it on top of a towel. The towel will help to insulate the food and keep it warm. If you’re using towels, you can place the food on top of one towel and then cover it with another. This will also help to insulate the food and keep it warm.
Giving a Hot Water Bath to Your Food
If you have a pot of boiling water handy, you can use it to keep your food warm. Simply place your dish in a larger pot or bowl filled with hot water. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the dish, as this could cause it to overheat. You may need to add more hot water to the pot as it cools down.
You can also use hot water from a tea kettle or other source. Just be careful not to pour boiling water directly onto your food, as this could scald it. Instead, place the dish in a bowl or pot and pour the hot water around it.
Using Insulated Thermal Bags
One way to keep food warm without electricity is to use insulated thermal bags. These bags are designed to keep food hot or cold for hours at a time and can be a great way to keep your food warm until you’re ready to eat it. Simply preheat the bag by placing it in a microwave for a few minutes, then put your food inside and seal the bag. The insulation will help to keep the heat in, and your food will stay warm for hours.
If you don’t have an insulated bag, you can still keep food warm using candles. Simply place a few candles around your pot of food, and make sure they’re close enough that the heat from the flames will reach the pot. The candles will give off enough heat to keep the food warm, and you can even use them to gently cook the food if necessary. Just be sure to keep an eye on the candles so they don’t burn out, and don’t leave them unattended.
Using a Slow Cooker
If you have a slow cooker, you can use it to keep food warm without electricity. Simply plug in the slow cooker and set it to the “warm” setting, then place your pot of food inside. The heat from the slow cooker will help to keep the food warm, and it will also prevent it from drying out or burning. This is a great way to keep food warm for a long period of time, and it

The subject of Artificial Intelligence (AI) really fascinates me and working in the recruitment sector, there is a lot of talk about whether AI is going to remove the need for recruiters completely in the future. However, I believe it has been established that although AI will be very prominent in the future of how companies recruit, it won’t eliminate the role of a recruiter, just enhance the way they work.
So, I have been reading a lot of blogs about AI in recruitment, and recently attended the LinkedIn Talent Intelligence Summit where I heard from Adelyn Zhou on ‘How to Thrive in an Era of Machine Learning’, where she spoke about artificial Intelligence and how it is likely to affect the recruitment sector. However, what I haven’t heard much about is how AI is going to affect the candidate looking for a job. How will it impact on their applications, interviewing processes, references, offers, and even negotiating the best deal for themselves?
We know that in the 21st century privacy online is slowly disappearing, and although there are now more regulations in place to keep our data private, how will that work in terms of AI and machine learning? If AI software is going to be trawling through online profiles to find candidates, does that mean they are going to be keeping all of this data, and if so, what is it they are looking for?
If we take the humanity out of a CV, and the search is done on key words alone, you don’t get a feel for a candidate’s personal values or character, which for a recruiter might well be the main reason they might be making the introduction to a company in the first place. Some skills can be automated but finding the right personality fit cannot – certainly not in the short term of AI’s capability.
It will be interesting to see how AI develops in the future and if candidates will have to change the way they write their CVs to ensure they meet the AI searching parameters, but it saddens me that ‘key words’ may be the only way to get you a job in the future, rather than being the best candidate for the job. Nothing beats the good old-fashioned human touch, with the experience to identify something really interesting in a CV and the ability to pick up the phone and really connect with the person on the other end.
Here’s to hoping AI impacts that relationship positively. | <urn:uuid:7de8cba3-e30b-41cc-9cc1-893c9232d59d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://utilitypeopleuk.com/artificial-intelligence-in-recruitment-what-happens-to-the-candidate/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.965506 | 500 | 1.648438 | 2 |
Benchmark programs play an important role in evaluating the advances in program analysis research. Thus, the confidence of the evaluation depends on the quantity and the quality of the benchmark programs. The larger their number and the closer they resemble real-world programs, the higher confidence in the evaluation. Currently, research in the field of program analysis often relies on a few outdated or deficient benchmark programs for evaluation purposes. The difficulty in obtaining sufficient benchmark programs comes from the requirements imposed on the benchmark programs by program analyzers. Usually researchers manually obtain, inspect, and transform potential benchmark programs to create benchmark programs that meet those requirements. Such an unscalable approach often fails to produce adequate benchmark programs. The goal of this research is to automate this process and make it available through an online, public infrastructure. The infrastructure facilitates obtaining, selecting, and transforming open-source software projects for use as benchmark programs. In addition, the infrastructure gives researchers the ability to easily curate benchmark programs for program analysis and share the results of running their analyzers on those benchmarks.
The objectives of this project are to solicit requirements and feedback from the program analysis community on automating benchmark program generation, and to prototype a Program Analysis Collaboratory (PAClab) research infrastructure that implements that process. Using researchers' specifications for adequate benchmark program generation, PAClab locates and obtains potential benchmark programs in open-source repositories; performs necessary program transformations as specified by researchers; and outputs the adequate benchmark programs. In addition, PAClab enables researchers to share their program analyzers using container technology, the transformed benchmark programs, and the results of running their analyzers on those benchmark programs. The intellectual merit of the project lies in investigating techniques for specifying and automating program transformations for targeted program analyzers. The broader impacts of the project stem from its potential to broaden adaptation of program analysis advances through the increased confidence of their evaluations; to lower the entry barrier for new program analysis researchers; and to accelerate the pace in program analysis research. PAClab's educational benefits include the ability for students to easily locate real-world programs and evaluate their implementations of program analyzers. | <urn:uuid:eb203d3e-96e8-4f8d-b227-496793ca6ee9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cse.unl.edu/~rdyer/paclab/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.910778 | 422 | 2.28125 | 2 |
AVK products installed in water utilisation project in the Negev desert, saving resources and expanding local farming possibilities
In Israel, the water resources are limited and several of the farmers around the Negev desert have been forced to let their fields dry out due to a lack of water resources. This has affected the local standard of living and Israel has been forced to think in alternative solutions. One solution has been water-saving technologies, where wastewater is utilised for irrigation of crops.
AVK participated in the project in the Negev desert, where the Aryeh Pools were established. It was a project characterised by a "no compromise" approach to quality, and AVK delivered gate valves and butterfly valves.
Harvesting the advantages of reuse
The Aryeh Pools is a water system consisting of three pools that clean and recycle wastewater from the main town in Negev, Beersheva. When the water has been cleaned, it is very close to having the qualities of drinking water and can thus be used for irrigation of various crops. The farmers are now able to take advantage of the barren areas again and to expand their farms. Where they previously were only allowed to grow animal feed and cotton due to the water quality, the farmers can now also grow crops such as potatoes, carrots, lemons, almonds etc.

Americans are voting to legalize weed. It’s unlikely the next Congress will do the same. – Politico
On Election Day, two staunchly conservative states legalized recreational marijuana. A third of Americans now live in a state where weed is legal for adult use. Fresh Gallup polling says 68 percent of the country favors having legal access to marijuana.
But the Senate operates under a different reality.
Many of the Senate’s older, conservative members are still resistant to any path to legalization for marijuana. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has mocked the House for action on cannabis and was unmoved even by Republican marijuana champion Sen.

The food, therefore, should incorporate all the necessary nutrients for a balanced diet provision. Another guideline is the level of nutrients and especially calories in the food. The fact that they tend to spend energy playing around calls for compensation of that energy through consumption of highly rich calorie foods.
One should determine the exact size of puppy to provide the right food. Muscle and bones growth level are different; Therefore, there’s a need for appropriate food to address such similarities. Magnitude of food should be considered. Size of puppies and the size of their food should be compatible. This helps in digestion and the faster the digestion, the faster the growth of the puppy.
The composition of the food selected should be determined. Inclusion of beneficial and nutritious components in food make the result great when used. Puppy’s food ingredients should be different from those of a fully grown dog since they no longer require some. Those that significantly help in brain formation are essentials in ensuring that the puppies grow to be easily trainable.
Regular checking of puppies’ weight and maintaining it help in avoiding cases of underweight and overweight dogs. Weight related issues can greatly impact negatively on a dog’s life. For instance, overweight adult dogs due to poor diet management at a young stage, are more susceptible to diseases such as high blood pressure and heart conditions. Constant visits to a dogs specialists will, therefore, help maintain the right weight.

he Anatomic Drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci
The documentary was on Leonardo Da Vinci and as the pioneer of anatomic drawing during the Renaissance period. The documentary displays the artistic qualities of Da Vinci and the multi-talented aspects of his skills that made him among the great people of that period. He was a person of many activities and did put his hand in almost everything of that time. He was a mechanical engineering who could be able to design and build bridges and gates. He was therefore responsible for the construction of notable gates and bridges of his time. Additionally, he was a great painter who could be able to articulate his thoughts through drawing. It is his great painting skills that led him into drawing the famous Monalisa painting that has remained to be an amusement to date. The main focus of the documentary, however, was on him as the only person who was able to dissect the body of humans and going further and draw exactly what he saw. Being a mechanical engineer, he was focused on establishing the mechanical mechanism of the body and how it works and that is why he was able to draw all the individual body and muscles of the body. He was also able to define the almost all location of the body parts and lastly, he was able to draw the heart of the human body and its working phenomena defining the task of each vein and artery and even stating categorically that the heart was made of four chambers something many scientists had been wrong for many years (Stew, 2015).
The video was published on YouTube on the 28th of April, 2015 by Haw Stew. However, the actual producer who was also the director was Matina Hall of BBC Scotland Arts Production.
Relation of the Video with the Class
There is a very close relationship between the facts in the video and the class work on the Renaissance and Reformation. The period was marked by numerous discoveries as far as Siece was of concern. However, it was still difficult for physicians to have the accurate solution to some other serious medical conditions and operation because they had no ample information regarding the working mechanism of the body. Da Vinci’s work was the breakthrough of that time. It allowed people to understand the internal working mechanism of the body and subsequently the location of different body parts and how they relate to each other (Stew, 2015).
Something surprisingly Learned
The most astonishing thing about this documentary is on Da Vinci himself. I have always associated him with art through his famous Monalisa painting. I was caught by surprise, realizing that he was also a Mechanical Engineer and also played such a big role in human anatomy, a field for physicians.
The Success of the Documentary
The documentary has been successful as far as the presentation of facts is of concern. There have been a series of evidence trying to prove how accurate Da Vinci’s drawings. However, it was inaccurate stating that Da Vinci’s drawings were not used for over 400 years because they were not printed. There are many scientists of that time that used Da Vinci’s work in the undertaking of their research and this is proof enough that his work was very useful during his time.
2. Inside the Body of King Henry VIII
About the Video
“Inside the body of King Henry VIII” is a documentary that at defining the possible cause of death of this King, whom, according to historians, he was the most physically table king of all the Kings. In accordance with the facts in the documentary, King Henry was from the Tudor lineage, which was not that might on its own. However, the rise of King, who had the “right” definition of a king physically made this lineage feel represented. This got into the head of the king who used any possible opportunity to physical prowess. This was also important since it made England appear as a strong diplomatic friend internationally. He loved joist as his main sport. It is, in fact, said that the, he experienced in a jousting competition was his final fall because it was only his body armor that cautioned him from the severity of the accident and after that, he was not himself no more. However, poor hygiene, physical injuries from the sporting events which he took part in, the inherited diseases, poor diet and subsequently his fatigued immune system led to his eventual death, the death of the strongest king who died without having a male hair (Harodl, 2013).
Posted on YouTube on November 19th, 2013 by Henry Harold, the documentary is produced and directed by Duja Noack and is a product of the National Discovery Channel.
Relation of the Video with the Class
The video has a direct bearing on what was learned in the class. The video was for the era before the Renaissance and Reformation era where scientific discoveries and inventions aimed at making the life of people easier and safer. The video showcased the pathetic health conditions of the people prior to this era. There were hygiene problems such that even the King could not drink water and thus forced to alcohol and wine. More so, there was a challenge in diagnosing the diseases that the people suffer from and that is why it was difficult to save the king. When amputating was the only way out, it was impossible for it to be carried out because of the lack of the necessary tools (Harodl, 2013). The video was, therefore, an indication of the health challenges faced by the people, which were rectified, to a greater extent through the Renaissance and Reformation.
Something surprisingly Learned
Despite him being a King, I was very shocked that there were many illnesses throughout his life that went undetected. I was expecting him, as is the King, he should be taken under continuous health checks such that the tuberculosis which had even claimed his brother, and even hampered the health of her first wife, should not have gone undetected. Additionally, the documentary has shown that the Tudor era medics/ physicians only relied on the Roman health techniques which were a technique used several years back. However, the extent of the growth of the English kingdom should have had its own means of treatment, and through this, there could have been a possibility of the King having got the medication that he needed.
The Success of the Documentary
The video was successfully done. The facts were very well presented and the facts were well tested and this led to convincing results which make the documentary scientific viable and conclusive.
3. Mankind the History of All of us
About the documentary
The documentary is about the initial implications of the Reformation and the Renaissance which happened to affect the whole of Europe. This was a period of the awakening of Europe. Europe had been active and powerful prior to the rise of the Romans. However, the Romans happened to overpower them and this led to the demise of Europe. After the fall of Rome, Europe emerges once again and that is why the period is known as the Renaissance. The video shows how important the ship technology was which subsequently led to the expansion of international trade. The video shows how the growth of the Turks happened after the fall of Constantinople and how hard it became for the Europeans to trade with the Islamic Turks who had close down the trade route to far Asia which was a very important route for the trading of spices. More importantly is the entrance of European to the modern-day America, which was by accident since sailors were looking for a new trading route around Africa towards Asia. This coincidence led to the spread of European civilization to America (Block, 2016).
The documentary was posted by Burt Block on 30th December 2016. However, the real owners of the documentary were Ben Goold and Jane Root, who were the actual producers through the Film Afrika Worldwide and Dune films.
The Documentary Relationship with class work
The Renaissance era was a period that took place in fragments over long periods of time. Notably, most of the people were not even aware that these changes were happening. One major sign that Europe was through a session of being reborn is that there was a need to increase her wealth and this could only be attained through trading. It w for trading purposes that the other unknown routes to the Far East were being searched for and this led to the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope. Another quest for reaches was treasure and Columbus was certain that there was a land beyond the Mediterranean and this land was full of treasures. This opened up America to the rest of the world (Block, 2016).
Surprising fact about the documentary
I have always known Christopher Columbus as being the first English man who “discovered” America. I have been reading lots of books since grade school that he was the first person to set sail into this land. I was, however, shocked to realize that it was Thor Vold Erickson, a Viking who was the first person from Europe to set reach this place. The documentary states that he was killed with all his men and am still not sure who kept a record of him sailing there.
The success of the documentary
The documentary is very well directed to offer the best chronology of events as they happened all through history. However, there is a slight debate that is still up for debate. The documentary states that the Aztec civilization was in existence way too long before the Egyptian civilization. I have come upon different readings with others stating that Egyptian civilization existed before the Aztec’s. This is an area worth researching since I am of the stand that both civilizations existed almost during a similar period but the Egyptian civilization ended sooner.

As the vaccine rollouts continue to offer hope to many couples that they will be able to have in-person weddings and travel for a honeymoon this year, the U.S. State Department announced on April 19, 2021, its plans to expand travel advisories, urging U.S. citizens to reconsider travel abroad as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose “unprecedented risks” around the world.
“All travelers face ongoing risks due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement. The agency also noted that it will begin updating its Travel Advisories to “better reflect the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) science-based Travel Health Notices that outline current issues affecting travelers’ health.”
This update will result in the government issuing a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory to approximately 80% of countries worldwide. What’s going on to prompt this advisory? As of April 22, 2021, the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center reported 144,241,181 COVID-19 cases around the world. The United States has confirmed more cases than any other country in the world—31,915,280—with India, Brazil, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Italy, Spain and Germany taking the top 10 spots.
On April 2, the CDC issued new guidelines stating that people who are fully vaccinated can travel safely within the United States.
So, what does this mean for couples tying the knot? SIGNATURE BRIDE strongly suggests that before deciding on a destination wedding or honeymoon outside the United States, couples need to research which countries are safe and which are open to U.S. residents.

Red light therapy (RLT) aims to solve skin issues by using low wavelength red light. Many experts believe that it can help with issues such as skin conditions, scarring, and signs of aging — including wrinkles and age spots.
There is some evidence to back up many of these claims, but RLT is no miracle cure.
Anyone considering the treatment should also take other steps to promote skin health. Improper use of RLT may also cause some side effects.
Anyone who is uncertain about whether or not RLT is right for them should talk to their doctor.
RLT is a straightforward procedure involving exposing the body to low wavelength red light. Low-level laser light therapy is another name for the process, though RLT may be more common.
This red light is natural and can penetrate deep into the skin, where the cells can absorb and use it.
As a study in the journal
Many experts attribute the potential positive benefits of RLT to this function. With this extra energy, the cells may be able to respond better to damage and rejuvenate themselves.
Although there is early research surrounding RLT, there is still no conclusive evidence that it is a beneficial treatment. Many studies show that the treatment has promise, but more extensive clinical studies in humans will help determine the potential applications of RLT.
With that said, there are several potential benefits of RLT, which we will cover in the sections below.
Most people show interest in RLT as a possible way to improve skin health.
The potential for using RLT as a way to rejuvenate the skin has led to a large number of studies. As the review in the journal
- increasing collagen production in the skin, which gives the skin its elasticity
- increasing fibroblast production, which helps produce collagen and other tissue fibers
- increasing circulation between blood and tissue cells
- protecting cells from damage
- increasing mRNA in the cells, which helps stimulate the cell
- improving facial texture
- reducing fine lines
- reducing wrinkle severity
A clinical trial in the journal
- rejuvenate the skin
- improve the complexion
- improve the feeling of the skin
It is important to remember that many of the results regarding RLT come from animal or test tube studies, which explore the function of RLT. Many of the human studies used very small sample sizes, as is evident in the clinical trial above.
These results show the potential for the therapy but are not conclusive evidence that it will work in every case.
Sunlight can alter the way the sebaceous glands behave. The sebaceous glands produce sebum, which may clog the pores and cause acne. Sunlight may help calm overactive glands.
The issue that many people have with sunlight exposure is that it comes with exposure to ultraviolent (UV) A and UVB rays, which may cause other skin issues over time. These can be severe and may include developing skin cancer.
RLT, either alone or in combination with other treatments such as blue light therapy, is a potentially effective treatment for acne vulgaris. The light appears to penetrate deep into the skin and affect sebum production while also reducing inflammation and irritation in the area.
Red light may also be helpful in speeding up wound healing.
Research in the journal
- reducing inflammation in the cells
- stimulating new blood vessels to form, which doctors call angiogenesis
- increasing helpful fibroblasts in the skin
- increasing collagen production in the skin
More studies in humans can help confirm these results.
A small study in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy explored the effect of low-level light on people with alopecia.
The study revealed that people who received RLT had improved hair density, compared with those in a control group.
The authors note that the effect was beneficial when people applied light in wavelengths of both 665 nanometres (nm) and 808 nm.
However, this was a smaller study, and more extensive clinical studies will help give backing to these claims.
RLT may also be an effective treatment for pain in people with certain conditions.
A review in the European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine compiled the results of many studies surrounding RLT and musculoskeletal disorders.
The research indicated that RLT could effectively reduce pain in adults with different musculoskeletal disorders. The researchers note that practitioners who stick to the specific dosage recommendations seem to increase the effectiveness of the therapy.
A review in the
The researchers’ results indicate that RLT may help accelerate healing after treatment for facial bone defects. The review also notes that the therapy helped reduce inflammation and pain during the process.
However, the researchers did call for a more standardized approach to determine whether or not the therapy is effective.
As research in the journal
Although the exact reason is not yet clear, RLT has significant anti-inflammatory effects in the body. These effects are both local, where practitioners apply the light, and systemic, in other tissues and organs in the body.
The researchers explain that the helpful anti-inflammatory effects of RLT, and the potential uses for this therapy, are abundant.
Further research may help us understand if it may help with chronic inflammatory issues such as:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- type 2 diabetes
- alopecia areata
- autoimmune thyroiditis, or inflammation of the thyroid
- tendinitis, or inflammation of the tendons
Again, the research is still preliminary. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of RLT is very promising.
Past studies have stressed the importance of the specific wavelengths that people use to target their skin.
However, as the review in
With that said, the frequency for most RLT sessions will typically vary within a range, similar to the wavelengths in the
RLT is a completely natural process. It exposes the skin to levels of light that are not harmful — unlike UV light coming from the sun.
Because of this, there is virtually no risk of side effects from undergoing RLT. However, a practitioner with little experience or someone who exposes themselves to too much of the treatment may cause tissue and cell damage.
Products for use at home may also lead to misuse, causing damage to the skin, burns, or damage to unprotected eyes.
RLT has a relatively low operating cost. It is also not a medicine in the traditional sense, so it is widely available. Many establishments may offer RLT rooms or lamps, including:
- day spas
- tanning salons
- wellness centers
- dermatology offices
Many companies also offer products that use targeted red light lamps as a spot healing tool. Anyone purchasing such devices for use at home should check to be sure that the device delivers red light within the effective wavelengths before completing the purchase.
There is no insurance coverage for the general practice of RLT. However, some dermatologists may offer targeted RLT applications. Anyone who has concerns regarding a skin issue that RLT may help should see their doctor for a referral.
RLT is generally safe and may be a very effective treatment option for people seeking smaller changes in their skin or to keep the skin healthy and reduce inflammation.
Other applications of RLT have promising early evidence, but there is not enough reliable evidence in humans to call it effective in every case.
RLT is only one part of a complete skin care routine, and it should not be the only way a person takes care of their skin. It may take several treatments of RLT for a person to begin noticing the changes in their skin.
Anyone uncertain if the practice is suitable for them should talk to a doctor to discuss the potential benefits. | <urn:uuid:bd26da60-7eb1-418b-b7d3-c18fb535a281> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325884%23summary | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.94904 | 1,598 | 2.25 | 2 |
The COVID-19 pandemic brought remote work to the forefront, but no matter what happens with the pandemic moving forward, remote work opportunities are here to stay.
Several companies were equipped for remote work prior to the pandemic, and many more are now equipped for remote work because of the pandemic.
It may be easy to forget now, but even before the pandemic forced many employees to work from home starting in March 2020, the emergence of remote work was already becoming a major trend in the workplace.
Chris Herd, founder and CEO of Firstbase, a platform that helps companies with remote work experiences, wrote on LinkedIn that 123 million people could be working remotely by 2024/2025 and predicted 33 trends that would result from this increase in the remote workforce.
Some of these trends are already starting to come true, and some new companies have already committed to remote work moving forward.
Here are some additional reasons why remote work is here to stay.
Job Seekers Expect It
Like health insurance and retirement, remote work (whether it's full-time or occasional) is a benefit that job seekers are looking for when they're considering potential workplaces.
Work-from-home flexibility is especially popular for millennials (born 1981-1996) and Gen Z workers (born 1997-2010), who have more exposure to such flexibility.
It's not necessarily that job seekers are gung-ho about working at home. They just favor flexible work conditions that allow them to work remotely if the need arises.
There are many reasons why an employee may need to work from home or away from the office, including family commitments, cutting down on commute time, traveling for work, or to promote a better work-life balance.
Given that many job seekers have now been exposed to having such flexibility, it's possible that a company could lose out to rivals on attracting top talent by not having some sort of remote work flexibility.
It Opens Up A World Of Talent
Imagine finding the perfect candidate to fill an open position, but that candidate lives far away from the job and ultimately decides they don't want to relocate.
Relocation is often a major factor job seekers face when deciding for or against a new job, and many companies lose out on top talent because of it.
But, if you run a results-driven business where it doesn't matter where your employees work from, remote work can open up a wide realm of possibilities.
Suddenly, your talent pool is global and not limited by geography.
Like many remote work policies, this doesn't work for every business, but it can be a game changer for some businesses.
As businesses continue to evaluate the best way to attract top talent, it's likely that many will use remote work as a way to open up the talent pool.
It Can Be Cost Effective
Some businesses are so big that they need to have a headquarters and smaller offices in different locations. But for some, offering remote work options may be a way of eliminating overhead by cutting down on office space.
Some companies even operate with a 100% remote workforce, also known as "virtual companies" or "distributed companies." This potentially allows management to have no office space, or operate out of a really small office space.
The costs of running a business are an ongoing challenge faced by all business owners, so if remote work offers some potential long-term cost savings, it's likely more businesses will at least entertain the idea from time to time, even if they don't ultimately make the leap.
Remote work options open up a door of flexibility for everyone at a company from top to bottom. More importantly, the ability to conduct business remotely can come in handy during times when getting to the office is difficult, like we saw with COVID-19, or something like inclement weather.
In the past, businesses would have to shut down because of such emergency situations. But remote work allows businesses to stay in operation.
Beyond these extreme circumstances, every company can benefit from more flexibility. Companies are always looking for ways to improve their overall employee experience to retain and attract talent.
Offering remote work options is a way for companies to show employees that they trust them and care about their work-life balance. Speaking of work-life balance, managers face the same challenges as their employees with family or personal obligations, and can benefit just as much from the flexibility.

“It would be damaging for economic growth and our wealth to demonize financial innovations in general,” replied former Deutsche Bank CEO, Josef Ackermann, to the call of former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Horst Köhler, for “a clear, audible mea culpa from the main actors in the international financial markets”, notably financial institutions. What Josef Ackermann is referring to by financial innovations is mainly financial derivatives, which played a major role in the financial crisis of 2007/08. The debate is about what went wrong that such a crisis was the result – and whether banks need more equity and regulation (which Köhler asked for) or not (which Ackermann and the financial world favour). An important aspect of the debate is compensation and the variable components of it.
In this assignment, the recent financial crisis of 2007/08 and the events that led up to it will be discussed, the role of the financial markets in this, the changes in the financial architecture since 1970 until the outbreak of the recent crisis and how the architecture might be adapted to prevent further crises.
2. The financial crisis of 2007/08
The recent global financial crisis broke out in 2007. “At its core, the crisis originated in credit markets in developed countries – centred particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe – but the fallout has had a significant effect on activity in every country and region” (Edey 2009, p.186). Today, in April 2013, its effects can still be felt strongly and it is not sure whether some strong aftershocks are still to come or if the worst is over for now. Particularly strongly affected by the crisis were countries with large and open financial sectors that rely heavily on exports, with a big manufacturing sector, with housing market bubbles, large debts in foreign currencies and/or large current account deficits (Snower 2009, p.2).
The immediate trigger of the crisis was the bursting of the US housing bubble (Holt 2009, p.120) which led to the collapse of the market for so-called CDOs, collateralized debt obligations, which are packages of bonds, loans and other assets (Wargo, Baglini and Nelson 2009, p.1). CDOs are derivatives that are sold on the secondary market. They consist of several tranches of securities offering various maturities and credit risk characteristics; each tranche has an own credit rating (Giesecke and Kim 2011, p.32). CDOs created more liquidity in the financial market and allowed banks and corporations to sell off their debt. Banks also sold CDOs consisting of riskier mortgages, which became famous as subprime-mortgages, and increasingly so in the years before the outbreak of the financial crisis (Holt 2009, p.121). Credit rating agencies failed to include the very high risk they incorporated accordingly; the new products were highly complex and inherently non-transparent (Crotty 2009, p.566). The deeper causes, however, are according to Crotty (2009, p.564) to be found in the “flawed institutions and practices of the current financial regime”. We will discuss this in chapter 4.
Let’s look at the most important events since the outbreak of the crisis in 2007 until the end of 2012 (IMF 2008, Edey 2009, Filardo et al. 2010, Guillen 2011 and Kingsley 2012):
- In August 2007 BNP Paribas announces that it cannot value the complex CDOs in two of their funds. It was the first time when problems in the US market for sub-prime loans became apparent. In September of the same year, a bank run on British bank Northern Rock subsequently leads to its nationalization. The bank had borrowed large sums of money to fund mortgages for customers: To pay off the debt it wanted to sell those mortgages. But its prices had fallen due to much lower demand. This led to a liquidity crisis and to fears that the bank would go bankrupt.
- In January 2008 the US Fed lowers interest rates by 0.75 per cent to 3.5 per cent: the biggest cut in 25 years. Furthermore, the largest single-year drop in US home sales in a quarter of a century is reported. Later, in March, JP Morgan buys out investment bank Bear Stearns before in September the US government bails out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, guarantors of thousands of sub-prime mortgages, and American investment bank Lehman Brothers – very exposed to the sub-prime mortgage market – files for bankruptcy. Still in the same month, the US banks Washington Mutual and Wachovia collapse and insurance giant AIG is nationalized. In October, then, Iceland's three biggest commercial banks go bankrupt and in America 240’000 lose their job. At the end of the year, the USA are in recession and the IMF provides 40 billion US dollars of emergency loans for Ukraine, Iceland, Pakistan and Hungary.
- In January 2009, the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announces a new bailout for the British financial system. By March, the financial crisis had wiped out USD 50 trillion of financial assets. In April, the G20 enacts a global stimulus package worth USD 5 trillion.
- Greece is bailed out in May 2010; in November it is Ireland that has to be saved.
- In 2011, Portugal is bailed out in May before in July Greece is bailed out for the second time.
- In May of 2012 the number of unemployed in Europe reaches a new record. In July, Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), announces an unlimited, open-ended ECB-programme to buy distressed government bonds.
Optimism emerged after Mario Draghi’s announcement that the worst could be over and markets reacted positively. But recent events, such as another record in unemployment figures (of 11.8%) in Europe in November 2012 and the bail-out of bankrupt Cyprus in March 2013, suggest that the worst be yet to come.
Summarizing, the consequences of the recent/current global financial crisis were/are severe: bursts of housing bubbles, bank runs, collapses of (large) financial institutions, bankruptcies of states, rising unemployment figures and as further consequences politicians and national banks and the European central bank trying to ease the severe effects of the crisis. A secondary effect was the re-emergence of protectionism in many countries (Farhad 2011, p.38).
Of further interest are the deeper causes behind the recent global financial crisis. These were debated extensively and there seems to be consensus about the most important causes. What is not so clear, however, is who can and/or should be blamed for it. Let’s look at the different causes first.
The global financial crisis was the result of many different factors and decisions, some of which lie many years in the past. Several of these made few individuals and (financial) institutions very rich in the short run, but ruined many others (individuals, institutions and nations) in the medium run – and sometimes the short-run winners, too.
As already mentioned, academics seem to agree largely on the different factors that caused the financial crisis. Their evaluations differ in their focal points and often also in the completeness of the factors discussed. When it comes to categorization, we note small differences, too. The differences between academics, however, seem to be limited to the naming of the same three categories (a) macroeconomic causes, (b) policy implementation and regulatory failures and (c) financial market causes (Edey 2009, Steverman and Bogoslaw 2008, Merrouche and Nier 2010, Taylor 2008 and Riksrevisionen 2010):
- Macroeconomic causes: cheap credit (which triggered excessive lending, not only in the housing market), very low interest rates that increased risk appetite to compensate for low returns, countries running large account deficits (and others – like China – large surpluses);
- Policy implementation and regulatory failures: deregulation, lack of international harmonization and coordination, the interconnectedness of banks and governmental guarantees for banks (“too big to fail”);
- Financial market causes: increased complexity of financial innovations, underestimation of system-wide risks, inadequate risk-management, rating-failures of credit rating agencies, selling of mortgages to mortgagors that were not fit for it, bank’s too small equity capital bases (and their circumvention to increase them) and remuneration systems that spurred risk-taking.
There were also secondary factors and decisions that did not cause the crisis (and will not be discussed) but worsened it and/or contributed to its prolongation, such as, first, the failure of many central banks to respond to the rapid rise in credit and asset prices, i.e. they failed to address the building-up of the housing bubble by raising the interest rate sufficiently, second, the pro-cyclicality of the relation between credit conditions and the economic cycle (i.e. in the upturn, banks offer favourable credit conditions) and, third, supervisors did not understand the risks of securitized loans for housing (Riksrevisionen 2010, p.20/25/28).
In the next chapter, we will discuss financial sector’s part in the recent financial crisis and focus on the causes identified in chapter 3.

Let’s talk about vernacular. Yes, I’m being serious. Yes, literally. Was that a pun? I’m not sure, but let’s carry on anyway and you can decide for yourself along the way. I will preface this post by saying I am not trying to sound holier-than-thou, but instead to help educate and avoid missteps that I certainly have made myself on this path.
The word vernacular originates from the Latin word, vernāculus, meaning native or indigenous. And that etymology has a special application to the topic at hand.
If there is one thing us metaphysical types love it’s sage – white sage, specifically. People of all designations burn bundles, grind leaves, and find all sorts of ways to incorporate the plant into their practice. I know I enjoy the scent and utilize it in my practice before mediation and rituals and honestly if I’ve just had a bad day. Post-cleansing, it’s helpful to set your intention since you’re working with a “clean slate”.
So, what’s the difference then in the use of “smudging” or “cleansing”? And why is it important? Let me share with you the perspective of a privileged late-twenties, white female – who wants to be a better and more informed ally as she navigates her own learning process.
- Cleansing can be done by a number of herbs or crystals, of which white sage is very popular. The explosion of white sage’s popularity has caused depletion of the natural, free-growing supply of this plant. If you insist on using white sage, either grow it yourself or ensure the source of your supply is ethical and considerate. A couple of my favorite alternative cleansing herbs are lavender and sweetgrass. Sweetgrass has a delightful vanilla scent, and lavender is famously aromatic.
- Smudging is the use of white sage in a very specific ritual, consisting of knowledge that is passed down through Indigenous American culture. Information that is privy to specific tribes and practices of those tribes – i.e. not non-indigenous folk and especially not white people. If you fall into the latter categories, you are not “smudging” when using white sage. You’re cleansing.
Using the term interchangeably not only waters down the meaning of the word to those who have ingrained it in their culture but also disrespects those who have been horrifically oppressed by Europeans. As a European descendant myself, I find it egregious to siphon away even more meaning and culture from those were were native to the lands in which I now reside. Dilution of culture and cultural misappropriation should not be scoffed at or cheek-turned. It’s incredibly important to stop whitewashing the rituals and practices of Indigenous Americans.
So, not only is using the term “smudging” instead of “cleansing” inaccurate, but disrespectful. I believe we can do better, dear witches. So let’s do it.

Various indications point to the period from 27 to 20 B.C., as that during which the first decade was written.
As to the first decade, it is generally agreed that in the first and second books, at any rate, he follows such older and simpler writers as Fabius Pictor and Calpurnius Piso (the only ones whom he there refers to by name), to whom, so far as the first book is concerned, Niebuhr (Lectures, p 33) would add the poet Ennius.
Passing to the third decade, we find ourselves at once confronted by a question which has been long and fully discussed - the relation between Livy and Polybius.
It is conceded on all hands that Livy in this decade makes con For Livy's debt to Valerius Antias, see A A Howard in Harvard Studies Classical Philology, xvii (1906), pp 161 sqq.
Consequently the theory that he used Polybius in the third decade requires us to assume that in this one instance he departed widely, and without sufficient reason, from his usual course of procedure.
The latter Livy certainly used directly for some parts of the decade.
In the latter books of the decade his chief authority is possibly Valerius Antias.
It is clear, on the contrary, that his circle of authorities for any one decade was a comparatively small one, that of these he selected one, and transcribed him with the necessary embellishments and other slight modifications until impelled by various reasons to drop him.
For the third decade our chief authority is the Codex Puteanus, an uncial MS. of the 5th century, now at Paris.

Parramatta, Richmond and Windsor had indeed been founded within the first decade of the colony's existence; Newcastle, Maitland and Morpeth, near the coast to the north of Sydney, had been begun during the earlier years of the 19th century; but the towns of the interior, Goulburn, Bathurst and others, were not commenced till about 1835, in which year the site of Melbourne was first occupied by Batman and Fawkner.

75% of internet users form an opinion about a website based on aesthetics. It only takes a few seconds for a user to form an opinion about your website. However, aesthetics alone will not improve the quality of your website. You need to improve overall user experience through techniques such as responsive web design and optimizing load speed.
Web development is a critical factor in the quality of a website. Web development plays a vital role in both aesthetics and user experience. Unfortunately, web development is a dynamic industry. You need to keep up with the latest technologies and ditch strategies that no longer work.
With that in mind, we have compiled the following lists of web development trends that will dominate in 2020.
Progressive web applications
A progressive web application (PWA) is a website that functions like a native mobile app. PWAs deliver app-like experiences on the user’s browser.
To illustrate, let’s look at internet-based apps on your smartphone. With or without internet access, you are still able to open apps such as WhatsApp. You can even reply to messages. When your internet is back, your messages will get sent in the background automatically.
That’s what PWAs promise precisely. Your website can still load without internet, sync in the background, sync across multiple devices, and much more. PWAs are the next big thing in web development as they have a high potential in improving user experience.
WASM is a new format that will compress the code of programming languages to bytecodes that can run in a browser without compromising on speed and performance.
Prototyping software development
Let’s say you are developing a web app. It is a big project, and several months later, you think you are done. So, you launch it. But, alas, the results are terrible. You missed an important feature. And, including the feature means rebuilding the app.
The scenario above happens a lot. Yet, it can be avoided, through prototyping developing software technology.
Prototyping helps test ideas before committing and spending a lot of time and money on developing software that will not work. The valuable feedback gained from prototypes helps make changes when you still have enough time and budget.
A single page application (SPA) is a web app that dynamically rewrites the current page as opposed to loading new pages from a server. Perfect examples of sites that use SPA technology include Facebook, Gmail, and GitHub.
Chatbots in customer support
You might think that your customers do not want to talk to a bot. But the data on chatbots suggest otherwise. To start with, 48% of consumers prefer customer support via live chat – chatbots are perfect for live chat. Plus, 57% of consumers prefer chatbots since they are instantaneous – no need to wait and chat with a human.
Chatbots not only work for the consumer but also for your, the business owner. You can slim your customer support team or replace it completely using chatbots.
Smartphones come with digital voice assistants, Google Assistant for Android, and Siri for iOS. Also, we have smart speakers with voice recognition capabilities for PCs and other smart devices used at home. For these reasons, voice search is gaining popularity. In 2020 and beyond, voice search will probably make 50% or more of all searches.
The point is consumers are becoming comfortable with voice search. So, you will want to integrate voice search on your website. Why should a consumer use voice to find your website and then have to use text to find something on your site?
Voice search is a feature that increases user experience by making your website easy-to-use.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
AI and machine learning are technologies that have limitless potential in improving user experience. Machine learning refers to the ability of web software to enhance UX without the input of developers. Integrate AI into your website, and it will analyze data, make decisions, detect trends, and improve the results.
The most straightforward application of AI is in analyzing the behavior of individual customers. Behavioral analysis is vital in adjusting content to match the needs of an individual.
Airbnb uses machine learning to customize the search results of guests. The technology improved bookings and conversion rates significantly. | <urn:uuid:68b2809e-60ac-4463-8598-7d72aa716518> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mizpee.com/top-7-web-development-trends-of-2020/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.92699 | 1,019 | 2.21875 | 2 |

This is traditional e-Learning and I disagree with it. It’s a passive and punishment model. First, you passively read/watch/listen to content, then you get a superfluous test on it, usually multiple-choice. I hate multiple choice, matching, true/false, drag and drop, pull-down menu quizzes. I think they miss the mark for several reasons:
- They can be “gamed.” With a multiple choice quiz of four, you have a 25% chance of getting the right answer even if you don’t know it.
- 50% chance of getting the right answer even if you don’t know it for True/False.
- You may know 995 things about the subject, but not the five things the quiz asks you. It is not a good show of the actual mastery of the concepts.
- You may be having a bad day. Not enough sleep, fight at home the night before, distracted by stress.
- “Passing Grade” set arbitrarily.
Passing grades are a ridiculous concept to me. I agree with Salman Khan’s book “The One World Schoolhouse.” He gives some great analogies why the concept of a “passing grade” is not very productive. If 75% is the passing grade for a subject, how would you like to drive around in a car with only 75% of its wheels? How about living in a house whose ground foundation is only 75% done? Or, how would you feel about having your master bedroom on the second floor of a house whose weight-bearing pillars can only handle 75% of the load for the second floor? By the way, when was the last time at work that your boss asked you a multiple choice quiz and was satisfied by a 75% answer? By accepting 75% as a passing grade, we handicap our learners to then graduate to more difficult concepts with only 75% of the foundational knowledge or ability they need to succeed.
So, what should we do? We should do “do” assessments. Instead of asking our learner recall something that can pass a multiple-choice quiz, we should ask them to demonstrate mastery of the learning objectives. They should have to practice a skill-based activity over and over again until they get it right “all the time.” What does “all the time” mean? That means 100% is the passing grade. An example could be practicing a skill until they get it right 10 times in a row within a certain period of time. If they get nine out of 10 in a string, make them do another string until they get all the questions or tasks right. the UK Meds presents the best products for erectile disfunction. This means that everyone should be able to exercise better and lose weight. As I wrote in my article, all it brings to the table is two healthy eating habits – no carbohydrates, no red meat and just plain physical activity. In other words, what we have the most for the day is mental training for erectile dysfunction and the best health will have nothing to do with strength training.
Make them master the concept.

Food trucks in Lake Ozark.
Currently, they are prohibited by ordinance. But growing interest from both the public and food truck vendors is keeping the issue on the front burner for city officials.
The Lake Ozark Planning & Zoning Commission spent about 45 minutes during its regular monthly meeting May 5 hearing from proponents of food trucks within the city and discussing the ramifications at length. No one spoke in opposition.
The issue was raised at the commission’s April meeting after the city received several inquiries from potential vendors. Social media was robust with conversation after the Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals car show during which many visitors and residents complained they could not find a place to eat because of the crowds. The social media solution is food trucks.
One thing P&Z members made clear at their meeting was that food trucks would not be allowed within C-1 (commercial) districts – The Strip. Their intent is to protect existing restaurants from mobile food vendors that don’t have the same type of overhead that brick and mortar businesses do, and that don’t have the vested interest in the city’s long-standing business district. It’s feared that food trucks located on The Strip could compete with existing businesses, the members agreed.
However, the door was left open to seek an amicable solution so residents and visitors have access to food trucks. After hearing input from proponents of food trucks and research by city staff, the board asked Community Development Director Harrison Fry and City Attorney Christopher Rohrer to craft an ordinance that would address the issue.
The P&Z would then make a recommendation to the board of aldermen which would make the final decision.
Chairman Margaret Davis reiterated that the board is not in favor of taking away revenue from established brick and mortar businesses. There is also the issue of inadequate parking with food trucks possibly taking up valuable parking spaces.
“The discussion this time is the possibility of putting them someplace else,” she said.
“The simplest solution is that they not be allowed in a C-1 district, which is considered to be The Strip,” Fry noted. “As far as the parking issue, many communities don’t allow them on public spaces. But the city couild have mechanisms in place to allow them on private property during certain circumstances.”
Lake Ozark apparently is the only lake-area community that bans food trucks, according to one of the unidentified supporters of food trucks.
“There are several food trucks that are locally owned businesses that can’t operate in Lake Ozark. They can locate in Camdenton, Osage Beach and Jeff City but cannot operate in Lake Ozark,” he said.
It was noted that food truck permit fees range from $25 to $500 among those communities. Lake Ozark’s business license is $50.
Another proponent explained that he carries food liability and vehicle insurance, has property owner permission or leases property, is state certified and licensed, is inspected by Camden, Miller and Cole county health departments, pays sales tax, follows the same rules as brick-and-mortar businesses but does not have same overhead.
“My concern is that I’m not able to go out and make a living in Lake Ozark where I live,” he commented. “I’m president of the Lions Club (on Fish Haven) but can’t set up and do anything for the club because it’s residential even though the club owns all of the property.”
One food truck owner responded to the board concern that food trucks might cause a restaurant to fail.
“If that happens, they were going to fail already. It wasn’t the food trucks that did it,” he said. “We have an entirely different business model. With us, people say, ‘hey, there’s a food truck’ and buy a hot dog. We’re mostly a convenience, not usually a destination. Our business model is not to compete with the brick-and-mortar businesses.”
The discussion is expected to continue at the next P&Z meeting June 2. | <urn:uuid:7d24b10e-2641-4b1d-8fc8-2c6d762b2e3d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://rubbedindetroit.com/local-interest-keeps-food-truck-discussion-trending-in-lake-ozark.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.973051 | 865 | 1.617188 | 2 |
According to Forrester, the Chromebook has its drawbacks, but in particular scenarios it is a good bet for the enterprise. The research analyst firm cites two clear benefits:
Innovation: Chromebook adoption would mean less time servicing PCs, laptops and other devices. For years, IT staff has spent a good bit of its time installing software and maintaining licenses. The networked model of a device like the Chromebook can reduce this time spent on support and free IT to work on new initiatives, such as location awareness or 3D printing.
Collaboration: Chromebook adoption means adopting a corporate Gmail account, and Gmail is a gateway to collaborative work styles. One CIO told Forrester that the employee shift was organic and automatic to Google Drive after the adoption of Gmail.
The Chromebook’s benefit is apparent for people who use Google Apps, and I agree that customer-facing employees could use the Chromebook effectively. But there are security issues with Google Drive. For one, there is no protection below the folder level, which makes it difficult to share files that relate to any facet of the business that requires some fine-grain control over permissions.
That said, it does seem like it could benefit companies that adopt secure file-server technology, such as Egnyte, which has a platform for securing Google Drive so permissions can be administered with more detail. | <urn:uuid:272ac164-56c0-4a6d-a05d-7f457a096190> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://techcrunch.com/2013/07/29/forrester-says-the-chromebooks-time-has-arrived-in-the-enterprise-but-security-is-the-nagging-issue/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.947154 | 274 | 1.601563 | 2 |
Today is remarkable because near-Earth asteroid 1998 QE2 makes a closest approach to Earth (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/news/asteroid20130515.html). About 2.7 km in its long dimension, the asteroid is sufficiently large that we do not wish to witness its impact on our planet. Fortunately, the distance at closest approach (4:59 pm EDT) will be nearly 6 million kilometers, or 15 times the Earth-Moon distance, but still within easy range of radio telescopes to provide radar astronomers a good view of the asteroid’s shape and major surface features.
The R/V Langseth arrived in Vigo, Spain, this Tuesday after a transit from the Azores that included several days of testing of streamers and other equipment in preparation for the coming cruise. On Saturday, she is scheduled to begin a three-dimensional seismic study of the transition between oceanic crust and rifted continental crust in the Deep Galicia Basin west of Spain (http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/research/office-of-marine-operations/cruise-summaries/2013-cruises/galicia-3d-seismic). The ship’s international scientific party will be led by Dale Sawyer of Rice University, the chair of the Marcus Langseth Science Oversight Committee, and will include Donna Shillington and James Gibson from Lamont. The German F.S. Poseidon has already deployed 38 ocean-bottom seismometers for the experiment and will add another 18 instruments in the next few days (http://galicia3d.blogspot.co.uk/). A short video report on the cruise has been posted on NSF Science Now (http://science360.gov/obj/video/f306a2b3-353a-448b-b0ee-f0e692b1fbdc/nsf-science-now-episode-13, about 2 minutes into the video).
I am happy to report that another of our graduate students has been awarded a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship for the coming academic year. Michael Wolovick will be receiving his fellowship for the research project entitled “Ice sheet sliding constrained by assimilation of stratigraphic data.” Michael works in the Marine Geology and Geophysics Division as a member of the polar geophysics group, and he is advised by Robin Bell, Roger Buck, and Tim Creyts.
Lamont’s Strategic Planning Committee, co-chaired by Robin and by Maureen Raymo, met on Tuesday. The committee has made considerable progress in the articulation of a strategic planning document that argues persuasively for the maintenance of Lamont’s core strengths in basic science, identifies several key research themes that cross-cut the traditional disciplines and divisions, and highlights a number of targeted initiatives for particular focus in research and fundraising. The committee will present the latest draft of the plan to an all-hands town meeting next Friday at 11 am in the Monell auditorium.
On Wednesday, I attended a meeting hosted by Dean of Science Amber Miller on relations between Columbia University and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Gavin Schmidt from GISS attended, as did Nick White (Director of the Science and Exploration Directorate) and Peter Hildebrand (Director of the Earth Sciences Division) from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Discussion ranged broadly over current scientific and institutional arrangements and opportunities for broadening and strengthening the partnership between GISS and Columbia. A follow-on meeting will be held in June.
In the news this week is a story posted Wednesday on Live Science on Maya Tolstoy’s work with ocean-bottom seismometers and the potential of such instruments to record small events that may foreshadow a large and damaging plate-boundary earthquake (http://www.livescience.com/34820-earthquake-forecast-tidal-triggering.html). A story on a paper in Nature this week by Sharon Hoffmann, Jerry McManus, and collaborators on evidence from radionuclide abundance ratio measurements in Arctic Ocean sediments that deep ocean currents in the Arctic continued more or less uninterrupted through the last ice age (https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/news-events/arctic-current-flowed-under-deep-freeze-last-ice-age-study-says) has been picked up by several online news organizations.
As we await the asteroid encounter this afternoon, we can celebrate the contributions to Lamont of Ginny Beck, Dake Chen, and Doug Shearer at the party in their honor that will start at 3 pm in Monell. Ginny, our Coordinator for Marine Recruitment and Staffing in the Office of Marine Operations, is nearing the end of her 35th year with us. Dake, a Lamont Research Professor in OCP, has worked at the Observatory for more than 18 years. Doug, a Senior Staff Associate in the Computer Support Group, has been at Lamont for nearly 38 years. Collectively these three have devoted nearly 91 years to the intellectual life of the Observatory, so I hope that you will be able to join the festivities to acknowledge their contributions and wish them well on the passions they will pursue after next month. | <urn:uuid:8957189f-1728-47de-9bb1-4fdcd74d93f5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/about-ldeo/office-director/speeches-reports/lamont-weekly-report-may-31-2013 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.925066 | 1,101 | 2.640625 | 3 |
The media news moved on within the smartphone industry recently trying to find the answers about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7’s big mistake, what was wrong with it?
Considering the fact that many other companies which are smaller than Samsung made out dozens of models without making such terrible mistake like Samsung did, the question is what let them to make a mistake like this.
For that reason, an independent team of hardware engineers fully opened the Note 7 to take some tests on it, and they’ve concluded that the problem lies in the “fundamental problems with the design of the phone”. Scary thing is that Samsung were aware of this case, that their design was very risky to put it on sale, but they still did that because they just wanted to gain a competitive edge. Shortly said, what the real problem with the Note 7 was that the battery was all the time being compressed, which made the separator of the positive and negative electrodes easily get damaged, and if the electrodes get into contact they easily generate fire.
We also have confirmation that the US’s CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) sent an aware message to Samsung that Note 7’s body is too large. The Wall Street Journal reported that Samsung were in an effort to beat the iPhone 7 and were aggressively pushing for more of: power, features, innovation.
According to the researches of Instrumental, they believe that Samsung’s engineers were also aware of the danger and they still couldn’t do anything to minimize the risk, but they are also believe that the engineers work hard on fixing the problem.
Samsung for sure took a gamble with the release of Note 7, which caused them a huge loss, not just speaking in a fundamental view where they lost about 5.3 billion, they also lost the trust in their sellers, and lost their spot as the most profitable Android maker and let Huawei took their place instead. | <urn:uuid:583bb805-4ae2-4a21-93a5-3bdedd8ee520> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://samsungrumors.net/samsung-risked-everything-with-the-galaxy-note-7-design/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.983182 | 393 | 2 | 2 |
The North East Branch, The Seattle Public Library, located at 6801 35th Avenue NE, had its origins in the Ravenna/View Ridge deposit station, begun in December 1945. The deposit station circulated so many books that in June 1952, it was made into the North East branch of the Seattle Public Library. A 1952 library bond issue failed at the polls, but the Seattle City Council stepped in to fund the creation of a library building for the neighborhood. . The North East branch building, designed by architect Paul Thiry and constructed in 1953, was designated a City of Seattle landmark in January 2001. Originally designed as a mid-sized branch, it has been one of the most patronized branches of the Seattle Public Library system. On April 19, 2003, it closed its doors for renovation and expansion. The new building, which doubled the square footage of the branch, opened in June 2004.
A New Community
The North East branch of Seattle Public Library serves the Wedgwood, Sand Point, Morningside, View Ridge, Windermere, Ravenna, Bryant, and Laurelhurst neighborhoods. Some of these neighborhoods came into being through the efforts of Albert Balch (1903-1976). Balch began his land development career in 1935, when he bought 10 acres above Sand Point. He called his first development the View Ridge neighborhood, and lived there with his wife, Edith (d. 1970). He developed the Wedgwood neighborhood on land he purchased from Seattle University in 1940. A large number of defense workers for the impending world war needed housing, and with money from the National Housing Act and the Federal Housing Authority, Balch began building 500 homes on the 40-acre tract. Edith Balch, a collector of Wedgwood china, named the area.
The style of the times called for single family homes, mostly single-story, wood-framed houses on large lots, with landscaping and plenty of space for automobiles. Because of these neighborhoods’ proximity to the University of Washington, many professors and graduate students chose to live there. The stores and businesses in the area were community related: groceries, drug stores, restaurants and cafés, schools, daycare centers, churches, and retirement and nursing homes.
Increased Population Demonstrates Demand
After the area’s population doubled between 1940 and 1950, the Seattle City Council began to look into creating a library for the community. The Sand Point deposit station (a location, mostly rooms in schools and fire stations, where books were held and loaned out) closed in October 1945. The Seattle Public Library told the Ravenna Library Committee that if it found a location to hold books, the library would staff it. Committee members went door to door to raise funds. They cleaned and built shelving for a space at 6259 33rd Ave NE.
The Ravenna/View Ridge deposit station opened in December 1945. It circulated 55,200 books in 1950, showing the community’s desire and demand for a "real" library. This deposit station saw so much patronage that it was made into the North East branch library on June 2, 1952.
A 1952 bond issue for a new Central branch building and five more branch libraries failed, but the Seattle City Council gave $492,000 out of its “cumulative reserve” to build the North East, Greenwood, and Henry branch libraries in 1953. Paul Thiry (1904-1993) was selected as architect for the Northeast branch. Without a large shopping center or commercial district in the area at the time, the library building’s placement was planned for the approximate center of the neighborhoods it would serve, and was intended to create a physical and social center for the new community.
Paul Thiry was influential in shaping Northwest architecture. His designs emphasized economy, context, use of local materials, awareness of local light conditions, and integration of art and technological innovation, especially with concrete. He was appointed the primary planner and principal architect of the Seattle World's Fair from 1957 through 1962, designing the exposition grounds and many of the temporary and permanent structures for the fair, including the Seattle Center Coliseum (now KeyArena) (Pacific Architect and Builder).
Thiry designed the North East library to conform to the residential district in which it is located. It has very large windows and the interior is mostly open space that allows for flexibility in floor layout. The library’s roof overhang protects the windows from direct rain and sunlight, and the trees and shrubs that surround it help to camouflage the building within the neighborhood. Thiry won an American Institute of Architects (AIA) award for the design in 1957.
In Jet Dreams: Art of the Northwest in the Fifties, Barbara Johns quotes Thiry: "Primarily it is the architect's mission to understand the life of the people he serves and to weave into his structures the framework for living." This style of design, "in harmony with nature" (Arts and Architecture), with a respect for people and the environment became known as "Northwest Modernism," or "Northwest Contemporary" (Pacific Architect and Builder).
Construction began in October 1953, and the library opened on Saturday, June 5, 1954. June Thurston, the branch’s second head librarian, and first at the new building, wrote that long before the opening hour, adults and children made up a double line clear out to the street, and when it opened, it was “like bargain day at the department store.” At the end of the month the staff was surprised to have a circulation figure of 15,000 books, with only 12,000 books in stock. At the end of the year, circulation had doubled and registration for borrowers had quadrupled.
Circulation totals continued to grow every year, and the North East branch had the highest juvenile book circulation of any branch in the city. A Recordak charging machine was installed at the library in 1955. The greatest problem the library experienced in the late 1950s was a lack of adequate staffing due to the branch's unexpected popularity, and an inadequate stock of books. June Thurston wrote: “If one librarian is ill, it is practically a catastrophe,” and that they had one copy of most of the classics, but “the whole high school senior class of several hundred are readings classics” (Annual Reports).
June Thurston left the branch before the problems were fixed, and Enid Slivka took over as the next head librarian. Enid noted disciplinary problems with the teenage boys and girls and closed the library on November 20, 1961, to highlight the problem for the community. The disciplinary problems continued throughout the 1960s, causing them to hire a “proctor” to keep the boys and girls in check.
Thurston wrote, “Much of the difficulty at North East stems from its original design as a medium sized branch” (Annual Report, 1962). By patronage and circulation totals, it was the largest branch within five years of its opening. In her 1962 yearly report, she states: “Although this is no doubt heresy to cast aspersions on such a landmark in public library design as in the North East branch … the work room is too small, the circulation desks require an inefficient use of staff, shelving for children’s section and the magazines are inadequate and most of it was not even planned for in the original design” (Annual Report, 1962).
Landmark Status and Expansion
Seattle Public Library purchased the lot adjacent to the library in 1978 for possible future expansion. On November 3, 1998, voters approved the $196.4 million “Libraries for All” bond issue, and steps toward North East branch expansion began. Seattle Public Library put out a call for architects to design the expansion and renovation of the library in December 2000. The next January, the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board designated the original building as an historic landmark. In March 2001, the Library Board, along with an advisory panel of northeast residents, selected the Miller/Hull partnership to guide the renovation and expansion of the branch.
In February 2003, the Landmarks Preservation Board approved the branch’s expansion plans. The plans include: expanding the branch from its current 7,042 square feet to 15,000 square feet, including a new 90-seat meeting room; new computer work stations; more seating and more instructional areas; a 66,700-piece updated book and materials collection; upgrading technology services and equipment; adding more parking; installing better lighting; improving the building’s seismic safety; and installing energy-efficient windows.
The New North East Branch
North East remained a popular and heavily patronized library. In 2001 it was second only to the Central library in terms of patronage, and it circulated a higher percentage of its collection than any branch in the system.
In April 2003 the branch closed for a $4,765,276 expansion project and reopened on June 26, 2004. This was the 10th branch opened as part of "Libraries For All," a $196.4 million bond issue passed by Seattle voters in 1998.
The expansion project, designed by The Miller/Hull Partnership, revealed once more the bones of Paul Thiry’s design and continued his theme. The collection capacity was expanded to accommodate 66,700 books and materials, while the welcoming openness of Paul Thiry’s original design was recaptured. The expanded facility provided more seating, many more computer work stations, a large meeting room, upgraded functional technology, small instruction/meeting rooms, and a vastly improved lighting system. The total square footage of the facility was expanded from 7,042 square feet to 15,000 square feet. Recycled building materials were used whenever possible. Seismic safety was also upgraded as part of the project.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTMs) are increasingly encountered in recent times. We describe a case of a chronic non-healing ulcer on the foot of a young immunocompetent lady caused by Mycobacterium simiae. The diagnostic approach and successful management of the case have been reviewed. This is probably the first case report SSTI due to M. simiae from India.
A 28-year-old well nourished, healthy and educated lady (employee of a company), resident of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India, presented to the general Surgery out-patient clinic of Kamineni Hospitals, Hyderabad, Telangana State. She complained of a chronic non-healing ulcer, over the past 6 months, on the dorsum of the right foot. The lesion started as a small nodule that increased in size and later ulcerated. The patient noticed serosanguinous discharge from the ulcer. However, she had very minimal pain at the site of the ulcer and had no problem in walking. She did not give any history of trauma, surgery, insect or animal bite, cosmetic treatment for the feet, exposure to sea water or swimming pool water nor travel to other countries.
On examination, the ulcer was an open moist, 3-4 cm lesion on the dorsum of the right foot below the last toe (Figure 1). The edges were ragged, hard and indurated. The lesion was painful on pressure. A serosanguinous exudate was seen oozing out of the ulcer. There was no foul smell. The lesion was free from the underlying bone. And there was no wasting of the foot muscles. With a clinical impression of a chronic non-healing infected ulcer, the lesion was debrided extensively. The material was submitted for further analysis to histopathology and microbiology.
Figure 1: Chronic ulcer, dorsum of right foot. View Figure 1
The histopathology of the material was reported as non-specific granulomatous inflammation with no organisms seen.
Gram's stain and bacteriological cultures were performed on the material. Gram's stain showed plenty of polymorphs and few thin, long Gram-negative bacilli. Ziehl-Neelsen stain (ZN) stain of the specimen was negative for Acid fast bacilli. A modified acid-fast stain with 1% acid was negative for Nocardia.
Specimen was inoculated on Blood agar and MacConkey agar and incubated at 37 ºC overnight. A heavy growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa both on the 5% sheep Blood agar and MacConkey agar plates was observed the next day. This isolate was considered as a surface colonizer of the ulcer and was managed with topical polymyxin lotion.
Mycobacterial culture was performed after the material was decontaminated as per recommended procedure and inoculated on a Lowenstein Jensen slant (LJ) (BD, India) and incubated at 37 ºC. The specimen was simultaneously inoculated in a Mycobacterial Growth Indicator tube (MGIT) (BD, USA) and incubated in the Bactec 320 automated system for Mycobacterial culture and susceptibility (BD, USA). The MGIT flagged positive by 3rd day of incubation. ZN stain of the MGIT broth showed Acid fast bacilli. However, there was no growth on the LJ slant even after 4 weeks of incubation.
The MGIT broth was sub-cultured on Blood agar and MacConkey agar and incubated at 37 ºC. After 2 days of incubation, very minute non-hemolytic colonies were seen to grow on the blood agar. While on the MacConkey agar, very minute pale colonies were seen after 2 days. Growth from both the plates was positive for acid fast bacilli by the ZN stain.
A TBc Identification Test (TBc ID) (BD, USA) (A rapid "card" test-differentiates M. Tb complex from Non TB mycobacterial species based upon detection of MPT64, a Mycobacterial protein secreted by M. Tb cells during culture) was performed from the colonies on blood agar. The result was interpreted as negative for M. Tb. Specimen was negative for M. Tb on the Gene expert MTB/RIF system (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, USA). With all these features, the isolate was considered to be an atypical Mycobacterium and the treatment was initiated. An extensive debridement of the ulcer was performed. She was advised oral Clarithromycin 150 mg twice daily and Intramuscular (I/M) Amikacin 500 mg twice daily for 2 months. The lesion healed completely with no recurrence (Figure 2) after 2 months.

In view of the clinical presentation, the isolate was considered either to be M. ulcerans or M. abscessus. For further confirmation of the NTM isolate, it was sent for analysis by MALDI-TOF at GYD Diagnostics, Hyderabad, India. The isolate was also sent to the National Tuberculosis Institute (NTI), Bangalore, India, for HPLC analysis and identification at their national reference centre for NTMs. The isolate was identified as M. simiae by both the methods (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

Mycobacteria related to M. simiae constitute the largest group or complex within the genus Mycobacterium . M. simiae was first identified in Macaca rhesus monkeys by Karasseva in 1965 . The first isolation from humans was in 1971. Since then it is an increasingly frequent clinical isolate in certain regions of the world, such as Israel, Cuba, Southern Texas. There were 400 reported cases of M. simiae isolated from clinical sites associated with a wide range of pathogenicity . M. simiae is a ubiquitous organism with huge environmental reservoirs, such as natural and municipal water, soil, aerosols, besides animals and humans . The M. simiae complex is comprised of 17 officially recognized species that are phylogenetically related and include M. triplex, M. genavense, M. heidelbergense, M. lentiflavum . M. simiae, is the most common species associated with human pathology. M. simiae can be cultured on Loẅenstein-Jensen or Middle-brook media and typically requires 4 to 6 weeks to grow. It is a slow-growing photo-chromogen . The colony appears rust-coloured after exposure to light. It is the only NTM that is niacin positive [2,3]. Though the M. simiae isolate, in our patient, was a slow grower in Middle-brook medium, it failed to grow on LJ medium, even after 6 weeks of incubation at 37 ºC. Hence, the photochromogenic nature of the isolate could not be assessed .
Since M. simiae is commonly found in nature, mainly in the aquatic environment, its role as a pathogen has been controversial . Clinically significant disease occurs in 20% of patients. It can infect immunosuppressed and rarely immunocompetent patients. Most infections are associated with HIV infected patients, with disseminated respiratory and reticuloendothelial system involvement . It is commonly isolated from respiratory specimen and considered as a colonizer especially in immunocompetent patients, . Iatrogenic skin infection and lymphadenitis caused by M. simiae in immunocompetent person, were reported [3,6]. Other reported cases, of M. simiae infection include nosocomial pseudo-out-break suspected to have originated from a contaminated hospital water supply, central line related blood stream infection especially in immunosuppressed patients . However, no cases were reported from India [7-9].
Since infection with M. simiae is uncommon, any case with M. simiae isolation should be defined in association with the histopathology features . The present case, can be defined as definitely clinically significant as isolation of M. simiae is supported by histopathologic evidence of infection. And the alternate diagnostic modalities also confirmed the isolate as M. simiae.
SSTIs usually occur after a traumatic injury, surgery or cosmetic procedures, which may expose a wound to soil, water, or medical devices occasionally contaminated with environmental organisms including NTMs . The diagnosis is challenging due to diverse and atypical clinical presentation, low yield from cultured specimens and nonspecific histopathology on tissue biopsy . A high index of suspicion of NTM infection, especially with persistent non healing ulcers, is essential. Granulomatous inflammations are the most common presentation of infection by NTMs . The lesion usually appears as a small superficial nodular lesion that later causes severe ulcerative skin disorder, as was seen in our patient. The gold standard for diagnosis is biopsy of the ulcer and culture for Mycobacteria . The newer diagnostics such as the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Matrix Assisted-Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI TOF), have improved the definitive identification of the mycobacterial species, especially the NTMs [10,11]. The mycolic acid profile via HPLC enables discrimination between M. simiae, M. tuberculosis and M. avium complex [3,10]. The widespread adoption of MALDI-TOF by routine laboratories has potential to simplify and expedite the laboratory identification of NTMs [11,12].
SSTIs caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are generally underrecognized and difficult to treat . The NTMs are usually resistant to the anti-tuberculous drugs. Agents reported to have activity against members of the M. simiae complex include clarithromycin, ethambutol, ethionamide, fluoroquinolones, amikacin, and cyclomerize . Extensive surgical debridement along with aggressive medical treatment with Clarithromycin and Amikacin, resulted in a remarkable healing of the ulcer in the present case.
NTM skin and soft tissue infections are frequently underdiagnosed, mainly due to failure to perform relevant cultures . A high index of suspicion of NTM infection, especially with persistent non-healing ulcers, is essential. A good communication between the clinician and microbiology is essential to diagnose these cases and manage successfully. | <urn:uuid:cd6b208f-2500-475c-9d52-19ab829df8f9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://clinmedjournals.org/articles/ijtd/international-journal-of-tropical-diseases-ijtd-1-003.php?jid=ijtd | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.949806 | 2,326 | 1.960938 | 2 |
Can DNA affect Light?
In a very popular research study entitled The Phantom Effect, DNA was put into a vacuum with Photons which are light particles also known as the Messenger Particle.
The photons by themselves inside of the vacuum appeared in random sequences.
When DNA was introduced to the vacuum, the photons took on the shape of the DNA.
When the DNA was removed from the vacuum, the photons remained in the form of DNA.
The question to ponder is; can photons entangle itself with any other physical intelligence?
Remember photons are being ejected from the sun and anything that they touch suggest that they might be in communication with the object.
Not to paint a gross picture but feces and urine are used a samples to diagnose illness. This is something that photons can interact with.
The analogy I will use here is the dirty bathroom. The energy is something that grosses your senses although the filth did not touch you and quite the opposite is true when you visit a place that is very clean and uplifting.
We have to keep in mind that photons are invisible to the naked eye and make it a point to have our physical environments reflect that which we desire.
Since photons are Messenger Particles this suggest that we have the ability to command the photons with our thinking.
Have you ever thought about something or someone and then that person or thing suddenly pops up?
This can very well be the messenger particle communicating to the person and telling them to call you as you were thinking about them.
More on this when we discover that our thoughts affect DNA. | <urn:uuid:cbcb25dc-6a49-43ca-8a16-679617757573> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theimaginationguru.com/can-dna-affect-light/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.97544 | 320 | 2.9375 | 3 |
Washington, D.C.—The Natural Products Association urged the FDA to take action against nutritional supplements claiming to treat or prevent infection by the coronavirus, according to a press release.
President and CEO of NPA Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., wrote in the letter: “As you are aware, the Wuhan Coronavirus is a substantial emerging health issue, any such issue creates fear, and unfortunately unreputable actors look to capitalize on that fear, including those that will market anything to make money with little regard for the harm that their actions will cause. These scams put consumers at risk when they claim that their products will treat or prevent illnesses, like the newly identified Coronavirus. Individuals that choose these fraudulent products rather than seeking therapy or treatment from a reputable health care provider are putting their health at risk.” The full letter can be read here.

“If a product sounds too good to be true, then it probably is,” said Dr. Fabricant in the press release. “There is no such thing as a magic pill, and consumers should steer clear of any product being marketed as a nutritional supplement that says it will prevent, treat, or cure coronavirus or any other illness. While these products may appeal to people who are concerned about getting sick, there is no substitute for doing what is recommended every flu season: wash your hands often; avoid people who are sick; cover your mouth and nose when you cough; and if you’re the one feeling sick, stay home.”
The Centers for Disease Control makes these additional recommendations to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses: avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands; cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash; and clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Consumers who are concerned about a statement made on a product label can report it to the FDA. Claims that sound false or unbelievable, or claims that a product can treat or cure a disease, can be reported to the FTC. | <urn:uuid:b1fc115f-8513-46ae-a123-804e403a3bdd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wholefoodsmagazine.com/news/main-news/npa-urges-fda-take-action-against-coronavirus-claims/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.943027 | 468 | 1.882813 | 2 |

Companions of the Forest
A LONG time ago there lived in Calabria, in the south of Italy, a poor boy called Caesarino di Berni. A promising lad he was, clever, handsome, good-humoured, and a kind and helpful son to his widowed mother. He had no boy-companions of his own age, but he did not miss them, and I will tell you why.
One day he had wandered far into a neighbouring forest, and there in the thickest part he came upon a huge cavern. On examining it he found it was divided into three caves. In one of these he found a litter of bear-cubs; in another a litter of wolf-cubs; in the third were little lions cuddled together. Their mothers had left them when they were just of an age to begin to fend for themselves; but they were still the prettiest, playfullest things you can imagine. Caesarino took one of each home with him, fed them, and in time they became his favourite pets. In their turn they grew very fond of him and of each other; nor were they ever anything but gentle with the other folk about the house. When they grew bigger, Caesarino trained them to hunt. Early in the morning, before anyone was about, he would be Up and off with them to the forest, where they spent long happy days together.
If he taught them hunting, according to a method of his own, they taught him all kinds of forest-lore, of which wild animals know more than men. When night came on and he brought them back, he was laden with spoil. By this means, as the years went on, he grew rich, and was able to support his mother and sisters in great comfort. Of course, the few neighbours they had wondered very much about the source of their prosperity; but as they were not hunters, and never went into the forest, they did not find out for themselves. Now Caesarino, though helpful to his neighbours, warned his family not to tell how he spent his days, lest some jealous person should harm his faithful helpers, or steal them away.
But his sisters forgot their promise, and chattered about their brother's hunting to the folks around; and one day a neighbour said to him, "You are a sulky kind of fellow, surely! Good friends as we are, you never take me with you when you go out. I hear you have become a mighty hunter. Now nothing would please me better than to spend a day in the forest with you." Caesarino answered neither yea nor nay; but to himself he said, "My secret is out. It is time I left this place, lest evil should befall my three good friends."
So, leaving all his possessions to his mother and sisters, he set out into the world to seek his fortune. Of course, the Wolf, the Bear and the Lion went with him; and the four were the best of company to each other on the road. At last they reached the sea-shore. There they went on board a ship, and landed in Sicily. After long travel over hill and dale, they came one day to a beautiful and very lonely place where stood a hermitage. The sun was blazing hot over their heads; and they entered for rest and shelter. Shortly after the hermit came home. At the sight of the wild animals in his hut he started and called out for terror; but Caesarino said, "Fear nothing, good father. They will not harm you." No one looked on Caesarino without trusting him; so the hermit was satisfied, and, poor man though he was, he found bread and Wine to give to his guest, who was hungry and tired. The three beasts foraged for themselves, and all the five supped merrily together.
"A fine country this!" said Caesarino to the old man.

Verbs come in three tenses: past, present, and future. The past is used to describe things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the day, yesterday, last week, three years ago). The present tense is used to describe things that are happening right now, or things that are continuous. The future tense describes things that have yet to happen (e.g., later, tomorrow, next week, next year, three years from now).

September 7-8, 2018
In July of 2015, a group of local businesses joined together to create a fun, family-friendly, free event in the heart of Shreveport. The goal was to provide a venue for children to expand their minds and explore vehicles of all sizes, while raising money for a local nonprofit. Each year, Betty Virginia Park is transformed into a world of big rigs, where kids can climb and explore bulldozers, fire trucks, tanks, earth movers, tanks, busses, and more. Other activities for children include a gymnastics course, photo booths, meet and greet with fairies and superheroes, and a fire safety demonstration.
In its third year, Wheels in the Hills added a Friday night preview party, which featured live music, concessions, and a chance for everyone to get an early glimpse of the featured vehicles. For its fourth year, the festival will partner with Pathways in Education with a Wing Cookoff. The event will feature local restaurants and amateurs competing for a grand prize, while patrons can sample and vote for their favorite. The event will end with a showing of the movie “Cars”, provided by SPAR’s “Movies & Moonbeams” program.
In 2015 and 2016, funds raised provided school supplies for children at Shreveport’s Providence House. In 2017, a donation was made to the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana, which feeds underprivileged children throughout the year. In 2018, the nonprofit partner will be Pathways in Education, with funds raised being donated to the group’s anti-bullying initiatives. | <urn:uuid:127dfdcc-5acf-4e85-b665-b165709f5c62> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://shreveportevent.com/events/wheels-in-the-hills/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.949959 | 334 | 1.648438 | 2 |
According to data from the DuPage County’s Coroner Office opioid overdose deaths hit a record number in the county last year.
There were 112 opioid overdose deaths in 2020, which is a 17% increase from last year according to DuPage County Coroner Richard Jorgensen.
Reasons For the Increase
“I think for sure it’s related to the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order, and the continued stress of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Jorgensen. “The first six months of the year we actually saw a 52% increase in the number of overdoses [compared to 2019]… As I review the deaths it’s clear that people are suffering from the isolation, the lack of ability to get treatment, and camaraderie.”
The data shows that of the 112 deaths 76% were males and 24% were females. Those in the age group of 20-39 were the most affected accounting for 73 of the 112 deaths.
Combating The Opioid Crisis
Jorgensen said on the positive side, overdose deaths in the latter half of 2020 declined. The DuPage County coroner is hopeful that the changing mitigations across the state might be of help.
“People who are in recovery are very much affected by this shutdown,” said Jorgensen. “Use AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings as an example. You meet with people and you have society as part of your recovery. What we’re doing now is we have no society and we don’t have the ability to get together in meetings, or our rehabilitation coaches, and things like that.”
Jorgensen added in the meantime community members should be vigilant and reach out to friends or family members who may be struggling with an addiction. Counseling services and meetings are available online, on zoom and by phone for those who need help.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic ends the availability of drugs will still be a problem Jorgensen noted.
Along with the 112 opioid deaths there were 6 cocaine and 18 non-opioid overdose deaths in DuPage County in 2020.
If you are or know someone who is struggling with an addiction you can call the DuPage County Health Department Crisis Line at 630-627-1700, which is available 24/7.

When it comes to car maintenance, you need to ensure that you check everything. You can bring the vehicle to a mechanic for professional maintenance while taking in charge of regular auto care tasks. Apart from the engine, exterior paint, and leather seats, you shouldn’t forget that your windshield needs sufficient care as well.
While you can have it fixed anytime, wouldn’t it be better if you could avoid the trouble and keep it in excellent condition as much as possible? Don’t worry as there are plenty of ways to care for it, according to DiscountAutoGlass. Here are some maintenance and protection tips you can try for that particular part of your car:
1. Defend It From Sunlight
Sunlight won’t normally damage your windshield even if you often drive during the day. However, when you park in direct sunlight for too long, this might end up harming it and making it brittle over time. Furthermore, if it has any existing cracks, intense sunlight might make them a lot worse.
To defend the glass from sunlight, you should always try to park where there’s enough shade to cover the vehicle, ideally where shadows from trees or nearby buildings fall. However, if there’s no available shaded spot for you to park, you should have a cover for it and place it outside of your car to provide protection. Ideally, you should tuck it in properly to prevent it from coming loose it if it gets windy.
2. Practice Distant Driving
No matter what kind of road you’re driving on, you must practice distant driving to protect your front window. As a vehicle moves, there might be stones and bits of pavement flying in the air from the wheels’ movement. No matter how small they are, they could still scratch the glass and even weaken it.
With that said, as you drive, you should maintain a proper distance from the car in front of you. Ideally, you should stay farther away if you’re going on a rocky path where rocks and bigger objects might be present.
3. Avoid Slamming Doors
While you may want to ensure that the doors are perfectly sealed every time you step into and out of your vehicle, you should try to avoid slamming the doors intensely. Not only can this damage the windscreen, but it can harm the locks and other parts of your vehicle as well.
When you pull or push the doors close too hard, the excessive force might eventually cause the glass to shatter. This is why you need to ensure that you provide the proper care it deserves.
4. Do Not Wash Your Car Immediately
If you’ve just had a professional replace your windshield, you shouldn’t wash your vehicle for another 48 hours to ensure that the adhesive and molds are completely dry. While it might be tempting to wash your car, especially if you parked it in a dusty environment, immediately cleaning it isn’t advisable.
If you must clean your car, you should consider wiping it down with a microfiber cloth instead. It’s important that you don’t use water as this can harm the treatment around the glass.
5. Regularly Replace Your Wipers
While you need to take care of your car’s front window, you shouldn’t forget that looking after the wipers is equally important. If you allow them to be in poor condition, they can greatly damage the windscreen. To prevent that from happening, you should be aware of the state of your wipers and decide if they should be replaced.
Once you notice that they aren’t effectively scraping the water off the glass when it’s raining, this is a clear indication for you to replace them immediately.
Due to longevity, your wipers might also lose their shape, which may put unnecessary pressure on the front window when you use them. Intense pressure can severely damage it, resulting in cracks and scratches. However existing cracks may cause the entire thing to break, harming everyone inside the vehicle, especially those in the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
6. Clean Your Windshield Regularly
What’s a better way of protecting your car than ensuring that you clean it regularly? For the windshield, regular glass cleaning is a must. To ensure the success of the process, you should use a glass cleaner specially made for automobiles. In this way, you can lessen the risk of damaging the front window.
If you have enough time on your hands, it would be ideal for you to clean it at the end of the week when you won’t be using your car and will have it in park. In this way, you can allow the cleaner to sink in and treat the surface effectively.
Moreover, if you notice any dead bugs on the windscreen, you should remove them immediately as they can cause deterioration given that most insects have entrails with high acidity.
7. Use The Right Cleaning Materials
While there are plenty of cleaners out there on the market, you must use the suitable glass cleaning materials for windshields. While some people might think that using regular house cleaners would do, they can cause more damage to that part of your car. Most household cleaning materials have ammonia, which can contribute to drying out plastic and vinyl, which can be found in your front window.
Ideally, you should look for a glass cleaner in an auto shop so you can guarantee that it’s safe for your vehicle. Or you can also look online for car wash and cleaning products from reputable websites like Repco, there are a lot of available brands of car care products you can choose from for your car maintenance. Moreover, you might want to consider going all-natural by creating your own solution. You can mix water and vinegar, and it should help you have a clean windscreen without using harmful chemicals. However, you need to ensure that you clean and rinse the surface thoroughly to eliminate any strong odor.
8. Apply Glass Treatment
To protect your windshield from any exterior damage, you might want to consider applying a glass treatment. In this way, you can maximize the front window’s defense and minimize the possibility of cracks and scratches.
With a glass treatment, all you have to do is to apply the wax onto the glass, similar to how you’ll wax your vehicle, and leave it on for a few hours to dry. This should provide adequate protection in the long run.
While a glass treatment may be an added expense, the benefits it provides are absolutely worth it. You can avoid damage from rocks and all kinds of debris that may hit your windscreen as you park or drive along a bumpy road.
9. Fix Chips And Cracks Immediately
Once you notice that there’s a chip, scratch, or crack in your windshield, you shouldn’t just ignore it but instead do something about it right away. No matter how small or minor the damage is, the earlier you can address it, the better it would be for your front window’s life span.
If you let chips and cracks stay on the windscreen for too long, they will eventually grow, which can cause severe damage. Apart from hindering your view, a chip may also make the glass weaker, which can be dangerous once you’re on the road. One small bump can cause your already fragile windshield to break, harming you as well as any passengers you have.
Ideally, you should bring your vehicle to a repair shop even with the smallest hint of a chip. They’ll be providing proper temporary treatment for your front window, or they might recommend replacing it as a whole. While it might be expensive, it’s something you can’t put off since your safety’s on the line.
10. Install A Bug Guard
If you frequently drive to areas with a lot of bugs flying around, you probably often get irritated at how many bugs are on your windshield at the end of the day. To prevent it from being a bug graveyard, you should consider installing a bug guard to keep the glass squeaky clean.
Whenever you drive fast, you don’t want bugs slamming on your windshield. It would be best for them to fly up over your roof instead. That’s what a bug guard does: it deflects bugs away from your vehicle hood and windshield.
11. Always Hire A professional
At some point, you’ll need to replace your windshield to ensure that it’s in its best shape whenever you take your car for a drive. Given that the price of the replacement itself is already high, you might opt to hire someone with cheaper fees. While that can help you save a few bucks, that individual might not be able to deliver quality services, which would only worsen the condition of your windscreen.
Ideally, for repairs and replacements, you should always hire a professional who can get the job done right the first time. In this way, you can be confident that you’ll avoid property damage and even personal injuries in the long term.
Taking care of your windshield is as important as taking care of your car. If you choose to leave it in poor condition, it might end up getting damaged and cause injuries should it break while you’re driving. To ensure the safety of everyone in the vehicle, you should maintain and protect the windscreen however you can. And while regular maintenance can be an added cost, it’s far cheaper than having the entire windscreen replaced. | <urn:uuid:f219facf-0b9e-4cee-86b1-92ae40643417> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://carsoid.com/protection-tips-for-windshield/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571911.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813081639-20220813111639-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.949513 | 1,967 | 1.734375 | 2 |

They will certainly exercise these skills by making note on their own, making use of a flash card or journal or inputting random phrases from a site on their computer systems. This process gradually builds on itself until they are doing all of this on a practically daily basis.
When you create a study abilities website, remember that it ought to not replace a great educator. An excellent instructor can take months to obtain your child to the point where they can take comprehensive notes, kind precisely as well as check out a whole book. Nevertheless, by supplying method exercises, video games and also suggestions for reading, composing and also meaning you can get your kid to the factor where they can take in-depth notes, type rapidly and review an entire publication at their own speed. One more advantage to producing a website that provides a variety of excellent study skills short articles is that it will help to encourage your kid to read. Reviewing is a critical developmental skill that will aid them succeed in institution and plan for the future. However, lots of youngsters have a hard time to be effective readers as a result of an absence of motivation or an absence of direct exposure to efficient research study skills resources. Kid’s curator pals recognize that there are many fantastic research study skills resources available to parents and also teachers. You may intend to check out up until you discover a source that fits your needs, yet if you can’t discover one you can still look to excellent research skills articles on the Internet. Keep in mind that you do not intend to over educate or under show. Some parents like to see their youngsters exposed to as lots of learning style sources as possible. As an example, some kids require a daily dosage of info on phonics, while others need details on brand-new words that they have actually just found out. You can find these types of research study skills write-ups on en espa ol websites as well as on different other websites that supply terrific understanding tips for numerous age groups.
The secret is to discover a mix that benefits your household and that permits your youngster to establish at their own pace. Lastly, one more great pointer for locating the right website is to locate one that is created for your specific knowing style. Some people discover best by being instructed exactly what they require to understand, while others need even more of a hands-on approach with every lesson. If you really feel that you require a more hands on method to knowing, after that search for a site that provides this kind of activity. An additional terrific feature of making use of research abilities short articles is that they can aid you develop your own individual collection of skills. These consist of both your logical as well as innovative abilities. You might not assume that you have these abilities, yet with a bit of practice you will observe that you do as well as in fact be surprised at exactly how well you do. | <urn:uuid:fb22f9d5-230b-43da-9538-a680783a7422> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jordan4s.us/the-path-to-finding-better-4/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.964216 | 744 | 2.59375 | 3 |
- Pump tracks are more accessible than comparable sports facilities,
- Pump tracks are classified as easy-to-use sports facilities,
- It is possible to place them on unused or degraded areas of 400 m2 or larger,
- Quick build (less than 14 days),
- Minimum maintenance and durability,
- More than just a sports facility – unique and attractive architectural look,
- Placement in immediate vicinities of users.
Our pump tracks are more accessible than comparable sports facilities and can be placed on unused or degraded surfaces larger than 400m2. In contrast to the so-called skate parks or soccer fields, the construction of pump tracks is not demanding and they can be built already within 14 days after obtaining a building permit. Placing such pump tracks is consequently quick and simple. Our experts take care of the entire process, from the first draft to fill the application for obtaining a building permit and realization. Our teams have designed and built over 40 asphalt pump tracks in 8 countries, so we can provide investors with a carefree, fast, and high-quality service.
Careless is not only the process of planning and construction but also the management of pump tracks. Our pump tracks boast a Certificate of Conformity with safety norms, and they comply with Austrian, Slovenian, and European standards for such facilities to the greatest extent possible, while they leave you unworried. All our pump tracks are also inspected by an independent expert for the safety of playgrounds, who also checks the actual compliance of the assigned pump track with the corresponding standards. Read more about the safety of pump tracks here.
Asphalt surfaces ensure durability, while maintenance is minimal and primarily limited to cleaning the surface and maintaining the green areas around the facility. In contrast to, for example, dirt pump tracks, the asphalt pump tracks are not exposed to any wear on the surface itself, and they also enable the use in almost all weather conditions.
A pump track is not just a sports facility. Due to its unique and attractive looks, a wide range of users, and the ability to position it on smaller areas in the immediate vicinity of users, the pump tracks will revive urban centers and neighborhoods and revitalize unused or degraded surfaces. One of our first pump tracks, which was built on a degraded parking lot, was ranked as an example of good practice at the Open House architectural festival. | <urn:uuid:c3129e45-c206-4ba3-a37d-bd094fd51119> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.alliancease.com/simple-but-attractive/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.954339 | 482 | 1.632813 | 2 |
On January 29, 2015, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) published CSA Staff Notice 81-325 Status Report on Consultation under CSA Notice 81-324 and
Request for Comment on Proposed CSA Mutual Fund Risk Classification Methodology
for Use in Fund Facts (Staff Notice).
As its names reveals, the Staff Notice was a follow-up to previously issued CSA Staff Notice 81-324 (Previous Staff Notice). The Previous Staff Notice proposed a new framework and methodology (Proposed Methodology) for the purpose of calculating and disclosing a fund’s volatility risk in its Fund Facts document (or other similar documents for other types of investment funds, such as ETFs) and requested feedback on the Proposed Methodology. Currently, the manager of a mutual fund has the discretion to choose what it believes to be an appropriate risk methodology. The CSA were therefore seeking industry feedback on the merits of introducing a standardized methodology to determine a fund’s risk rating.
The Staff Notice set out the key themes arising from the feedback received, as well as potential next steps to be taken by the CSA.
Certain of the key themes discussed in the Staff Notice were as follows:
- Use of Standard Deviation (SD) as the risk indicator – the majority of commenters agreed with the use of SD as a fund’s risk indicator.
- 10 year history to calculate SD – many supported a 10 year history, as such a relatively lengthy measurement period would be less sensitive to sudden market changes. Such period would also provide a reasonable balance between indicator stability and availability of data. However, concerns were raised by some that a shorter period is more appropriate given that the lifespan of the majority of mutual funds is only 5 or 6 years.
- Fund series/class used – most commenters agreed that, in most instances, all series and classes of a Fund bear the same risk and therefore applying the Proposed Methodology to the oldest series/class of a fund (rather than all series/classes) is appropriate.
- Use of reference index data – for funds without a 10 year history, the Proposed Methodology contemplates using the returns of an appropriate index to provide the missing performance data required to calculate SD. There were a wide range of comments, concerns and discussion points that arose from this suggestion.
- Six Category Risk Scale – the Proposed Methodology contemplates changing the Fund Facts volatility scale from five bands to six. Most were opposed as such a change would likely lead to a large number of funds being re-labeled with an apparent higher risk classification, without any change in the fund’s volatility.
- Monitoring and changing of risk categorizations – the Proposed Methodology sets out a monthly process that must be followed by fund managers when monitoring changes in the risk categories. Many commenters felt that monthly monitoring is excessive and burdensome and that an annual monitoring process would be more appropriate.
The CSA confirmed that SD continues to be the preferred risk indicator for the Proposed Methodology. The CSA will continue also to assess the impact of moving to a six category risk scale. Proposed rule amendments, based on the feedback received on the Proposed Methodology, are expected to be issued for comment by the CSA at some point in 2015 addressing risk classification. | <urn:uuid:a8503c08-47e9-402d-85dd-2ba4382c0f93> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.timelydisclosure.com/2015/02/27/csa-releases-status-report-on-proposed-changes-to-methodology-for-fund-risk-determination/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.950799 | 681 | 1.507813 | 2 |
Even before COVID-19 the wine industry was not having an easy time of it. The North American wine market was facing oversupply problems, millennials weren’t buying as much wine as anticipated, and competition in the adult beverage market was heating up. Then COVID-19 hit and the slow transition into home wine delivery became the most important challenge facing the industry. This is where Palate Club, and its Netflix-style personalized wine delivery algorithm come into play.
The Wine Industry is beset by challenges
The wine sector faces a number of severe pain points in 2020. The biggest of which is undoubtedly competition and contracting routes to market. The number of wineries in the United States continues to grow consistently and this has created an increasingly competitive environment. This is without factoring in the fact that millennials have shown an increasing preference for premium spirits and craft beers, further cutting into the wine sector’s market share.
Another key problem is that wine is a comparatively expensive alcoholic beverage and it can be difficult for consumers to find wine that they actually enjoy. Wine preferences vary wildly and “point inflation” in reviews mean that it’s becoming difficult to find a bottle you enjoy. Add in confusing industry standards, broadly inaccessible terminology, and pre-existing bias and you have a tough sell.
Then you have the elephant in the room, COVID-19. Lockdowns and the increasing risk of entering public spaces mean that even more routes to market have been closed off. This is likely to accelerate the de-regulation of interstate wine delivery in the United States and put increasing pressure on wineries to compete with the likes of Amazon. Despite this there is now a unique window of opportunity for wineries to take advantage of emerging technology and get a first mover advantage
Palate Club is revolutionizing home wine delivery
Home wine delivery in the United States has traditionally had two key problems. The first is that it is notoriously slow and the second is that available inventory is typically poor. The startup Palate Club has built a solution to solve all the key pressure points facing the wine industry by focusing on the problems facing the average wine drinker.
The first is that the company’s wine shop and tasting kit offers a selection of high quality wines that can be delivered to the majority of the U.S. The company also offers the option to create a recurring subscription of different wines that are tailored to your tastes. This helps consumers access high quality products with minimal cost.
The next point, and this is the game changer, is that the company doesn’t have crowd-sourced wine reviews. The wines are selected by talented sommeliers but they are displayed by other customer’s ratings. Instead wines are sorted by a percentage figure that represents how closely the wine matches your tastes. The only scores that are considered are your personal ratings for each bottle.
Wine matched to your individual preference
Rather than taking an Amazon approach and relying on other people’s reviews Palate Club opts to lean into personalization. When you first enter the site you are asked to fill out a wine quiz which determines your baseline palate.
This data is then used to recommend an initial selection of wine. As you purchase and personally rate more wine a user’s profile becomes increasingly accurate. These recommendations are based solely on a single user’s preference and activity and are not crowdsourced through other users’ reviews.
By focusing on personalization Palate Club have neatly solved the wine industry’s biggest challenge. Many drinkers balk at purchasing premium wine as it is difficult to ensure you will actually enjoy the bottle. Many of us have spent $40 on a bottle of wine only to find that we don’t enjoy it. By ensuring the wine you purchase is based on your taste profile Palate Club enables you to take risks, and enjoy new experiences, safe in the knowledge that you are getting good value for money.
This in turn means that wine companies have a new route to market. They will reach customers who may not have realized they enjoy Merlot, and be able to deliver a premium product directly to their customer’s front door. This hugely increases their potential visibility and will potentially provide a way for independent wineries to secure a following before the likes of Amazon are able to break into the wine delivery market.
Better for wineries, better for wine drinkers
The wine industry is entering a unique phase. While many wine industry followers are rightly concerned about falling market shares and oversupply there is a unique opportunity on offer. Independent wineries that embrace wine tech startups like Palate Club will be able to cut through a lot of the difficulties the industry is facing and hopefully beat retail giants to the punch.
Palate Club’s personalized solution also helps to relieve many of the pressure points facing the consumer. By making premium wine more accessible Palate Club will help reverse the drink’s declining market share and help introduce thousands of drinkers to the amazing experiences that are on offer.

Many companies and organizations in Israel must be ready and prepared for any emergency. Whether it is a war, a fire, gas leak, or a terrorist attack, it is necessary to prepare in advance, thus saving lives and preventing disasters.
The need for an emergency procedure is statutory, and so, any organization that meets certain criteria must prepare for various emergencies.
We, at Safety On, will be happy to assist every organization and business to make its workplace a safer place for the employees and other people in the buildings.
We will be glad to help any organization prepare an Area arrangements file or a Facility File most efficiently and professionally while complying with all relevant regulations and guidelines.
First, it should be emphasized that an area arrangements file relates to business licensing regulations pertaining by definition to hazardous production facilities. It should be noted that some warehouses may fall into this category.
On the other hand, a facility file refers in Israel to a directive of the Israeli Chief Fire Inspector. It is intended for structures listed in Appendix A of Directive 503 or for structures that are 29 meters (95 feet) or higher.
Practically speaking, a facility file is a more detailed area arrangements file, which underscores chemical substances and events. The objective of these two files is to provide the necessary information to know exactly how to act in an emergency and how to assist the fire and rescue forces in handling the incident most efficiently.
An area arrangements file must include a list of the officeholders responsible for emergencies in the structure, including their phone numbers and the quickest way to contact them. In addition, the file includes optional solutions to various emergencies.
Furthermore, the file should include risk assessment, precise specifications of the building's fire detection and extinguishing systems, water and electricity systems, an accurate description of the structure's environment, and the escape routes, including structure plan drawings and clear pictures.
In the case of a facility file, in addition to the above, it is also required to add a facility plan and an exact list of all the hazardous substances it contains.
Moreover, the file should also include the ways of handling the dangerous substances and a detailed breakdown of all malfunctions and events at the site.
Finally, a facility file should also contain a list of the facility's safety measures, suppression and fire alarm detection systems, a fire extinguishing system, and of course, equipment and personal protection.
We, at Safety On, specialize in safety and help a wide range of companies, organizations, and factories to make their work environment safer.
We specialize in preparing Area Arrangements and Facility Files. We will be happy to assist all businesses in preparing the files they need most professionally and comprehensively. For consultancy and more details, don't hesitate to contact us today. | <urn:uuid:2019c386-74d0-42b9-a711-5785d0837c35> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://en.safetyon.co.il/articles/what-are-the-difference-between-area-arrangements-files-and-facility-files-1 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.940981 | 557 | 1.851563 | 2 |
Abstract and Introduction
In the United States, 90% of females take a form of medication during their pregnancy. However, for ethical reasons, most clinical trials do not include pregnant and lactating women; hence, limited evidence is available to help evaluate the use of medications during pregnancy or lactation. Some medications may pose a safety risk, and careful consideration should be made regarding those that have been shown to cause birth defects or complications during labor, have long half-lives, or accumulate in breast milk in large amounts.
In the United States, over 90% of women take a form of medication during their pregnancy. However, for ethical reasons, a majority of clinical trials do not include pregnant women; therefore, limited evidence is available to help evaluate the use of medications during pregnancy.[2–6] With the first trimester being a crucial part of the development of major organs in the fetus and when most birth defects are likely to happen, careful use of medications is recommended. However, some women are not aware of their pregnancy prior to medication consumption in the early stages.
A CDC study identified the most common medications used in the first trimester, with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, docusate, pseudoephedrine, aspirin, and naproxen being the most typically used OTC medications. With the increase of OTC- and prescription-drug use, providers, pharmacists, and the Internet have become valuable sources in determining whether a medication is safe to take. Given the risks of birth defects, prematurity, infant death, pregnancy loss, and various other complications, judicious use may be recommended. However, available resources have increased over the years due to the growing use of medications.[8,9]
In addition, some of these situations, such as pain or constipation, may still exist after the baby is born, raising questions about whether it is safe to take a medication while breastfeeding. Similar to safe medication use in pregnancy, treating conditions when breastfeeding has comparable challenges, such as safety to the baby and mother, effect on lactation supply, and the limited available supporting evidence.[5,10] Some medications may pose a safety risk, and careful consideration should be made for those with long half-lives or those that accumulate in breast milk in large amounts, and also for infants who are more prone to side effects (e.g., preterm, neonates, underlying medical conditions).
With 2% to 3% of birth defects being due to medication use, drug labels or package inserts are required to provide guidance on the use of drugs during pregnancy and lactation. Although the number of medications that are known to cause birth defects is small, these medications may also be limited to prescription-drug products. In 2015, the FDA updated the former pregnancy categories on prescription and biological drug labels to a more narrative summary, requiring providers to review the available evidence before making a clinical decision on whether a medication may be safe to take during pregnancy and lactation. However, the labeling of OTC medications and the categories that help evaluate safety risk are unchanged. Outside of the FDA labels, a vast number of resources are available to help determine whether a medication is safe (Table 1).[1,14–20]

We welcome all age groups, and we offer separate classes for children and women’s self-defense training.
We look at our martial arts in Conway, AR, as more than a self-defense system. It is a philosophy that will change your life entirely. We’re combining two of the most effective martial arts available (Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu) in one comprehensive street-smart system that’s effective and reliable. The benefits are endless:
Active self-defense – Being able to take care of yourself in any situation is at the core of our philosophy. We want people like you to take control of their lives and prepare yourself for anything. The techniques you’ll learn here, at our gym in Conway, might save your life one day, as we’ve adapted them for street use, in real-life scenarios.
Changing your mindset – Most people don’t know how to fight and are afraid to do so. One of the most excellent benefits of learning a martial art is that it changes your mindset. It gives you confidence, self-control, and a better understanding of the physics of fighting and the human body. Repetition makes excellence, which is why we advise you to join our courses, overcome your fears, and achieve the mind of a true warrior.
Patience and humility – Jiu-Jitsu especially it’s one of the most demanding and complex martial arts systems. The first thing you’ll learn in Jiu-Jitsu is overcoming your ego. Jiu-Jitsu will humble you, and it will teach you the value of patience, opportunism, and smart fighting. It’s but one of the benefits of joining our martial arts in Conway, AR.
Coordination and self-control – Most people arriving at our gym are quickly amazed at how little they know about their bodies. Learning a martial art takes years of practice, during which you’ll learn how to coordinate your movements, control your impulses, and adapt to the fight. While the mindset is a vital part in the process, it’s repetition and training that will help build muscle memory, allowing a specific martial art to become like second nature.
Physical enhancement – The physical benefits include strength, stamina, higher levels of energy, and durability. Your body needs to be able to withstand increasing levels of effort, and you’ll achieve that gradually, during our training routine. The purpose is to provide you with the power, energy, and flexibility to overcome your opponents and come out on top every time.
Discipline – In our system of martial arts in Conway, AR, discipline is one of the keys to success. We’ll teach you how to control your emotions and use your mind as a weapon. Every fight is a war of the mind, before one of physical contact. By numbing yourself against emotions like fear and excitement, you pave the way of becoming a better, more effective fighter.

Thanks to XSI Base
member skyPhyr for posting this technique to use HDRI efficiently in XSI.
More information can be found here: HDRI
This leaves us with the question - so what is the truth about XSI and HDRI?
O.K. here goes - this is my interpretation of the situation as best as I've been able to figure it out so far.
1. First of all get your light probe image and make it in to a .map file using hdrtoxsi.exe
2. Then create a sphere in your scene and apply a constant material.
3. Now go in and edit your constant material switching off all toggle switches except colour (i.e. reflection, transparency, incandescense and whatever else is there.
4. Then set the radiance to black (0, 0, 0).
5. Now in the render tree create an image node and use the lightprobe .map file you created. Create a new spherical projection for it and set the mode to implicit (this will just help keep everything hunky dory and smooth, no wavey reflections etc.)
6. now create a scalar share node.
7. now create a pick channel node and link your image node's output to it's input. Open up the channel picker node and choose the red channel.
8. Create a scalar basic math node and connect the pick channel output to input1 of the scalar basic math node. Connect the scalar share node to input2 of the scalar basic math node. Open the scalar basic math node and change the operation to multiply.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the green and blue channels.
10. Now create an RGBA combine node and link the scalar basic math nodes to their respective channel inputs on the RGBA combine node.
11. Link the output of the RGBA combine node to the colour input of the constant node.
12. Go to the visibility options of your sphere and switch off primary rays (assuming you don't want it visible - if you do don't bother)
13. Delete the default light and create your own for any additional lighting you may want. Perhaps you may only want to add some specular highlights to your scene in which case switch off the diffuse checkbox in your light's properties. If you don't want any additional light then switch off both diffuse and specular - however don't delete the light as it doesn't work without at least one light in the scene. By doesn't work I mean that you will only get reflections of the hdri sphere - you won't get any illumination.
14. Make sure the radiance on all the objects in your scene (i.e. everything except for the HDRI sphere) is set to white (1, 1, 1). Though you can tweak this number if you want to alter the amount of light a particular object receives from the HDRI sphere (note it will receive light from the other objects as well as the HDRI sphere). | <urn:uuid:d82c030b-425f-4c42-9214-c13592e37159> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.edharriss.com/tutorials/tutorial_xsi_image_based_lighting/ibl.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.883254 | 633 | 2.390625 | 2 |
Kao Corporation has received the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award in the 18th Green & Sustainable Chemistry (GSC) Awards for the development of water-based inkjet ink for food package. This technology makes it possible to print on flexible packaging film for food products with water-based inkjet ink.
The GSC Awards are one of the activities of the Green & Sustainable Chemistry Network, Japan*1 . The GSC Awards are granted to individuals, groups or companies that have greatly contributed to promoting GSC through their research, development and industrialization in fields such as industrial technology development, decreasing environmental impacts including carbon dioxide emissions, waste, landfill use and harmful by-products, and establishing new philosophies and methodologies in research fields.
Traditionally, oil-based inks that use organic solvents able to dry quickly and produce high-quality printing have been used for printing on flexible packaging film. These inks emit a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the printing process. Their impacts on the labor environment for workers and on the global environment have been a cause of concern.
In March 2016, Kao developed water-based inkjet ink called LUNAJET for printing flexible packaging film that features a VOC-free design*2 . It offered a new value of reduced environmental impacts to the ink market for industrial printing applications. This ink was adopted by a leading Japanese food manufacturer in 2018 for its snack packaging, which drew a great deal of industry attention.
1. A VOC-free design to improve the labor environment for workers as well as to reduce global environmental impacts.
2. Applies Kao's proprietary nano-dispersion technology to disperse pigments.
3. A water-based ink able to print on film and metal.
Kao will continue to use this technology with the aim of contributing to solutions for social issues by deepening essential research combining and integrating the findings collected to date and by advancing development of products and services that contribute to reducing environmental impacts.
Kao creates high-value-added products that enrich the lives of consumers around the world. Through its portfolio of over 20 leading brands such as Attack, Bioré, Goldwell, Jergens, John Frieda, Kanebo, Laurier, Merries and Molton Brown, Kao is part of the everyday lives of people in Asia, Oceania, North America and Europe.

When I was a fifteen years old, my psychiatrist told me that in ten years’ time, there would be a machine that would scan my brain and tell the doctors exactly what medicine to give me to make me normal, to make me whole.
That was thirteen years ago, and though I have not yet heard of any such machine, I’ve realized that I never needed it. What I needed was acceptance. What I needed was love. These are the things that made me realize that I had, in fact, been whole all along.
Sometimes, I feel as if my life were a long, cold
winter, and that spring took a very long time coming. Like many
autistic adults, I did not have an easy time of it growing up. Even in adulthood, I struggled with loneliness,
employment, and a host of other issues. Though I was
almost unaware of it starting, a thaw was coming; the air growing
warmer around me. I was finding myself, and I was finding myself
Healing myself does not mean ‘fixing’ or ‘curing’ my autism. I spent a lifetime trying to do that, and although I can now make small talk and eye contact with strangers, I still cannot hide who I am from those who know me well. For years, I hated myself for the mistakes I made. I knew that everything that went wrong was my fault, and I accepted without protesting whatever pain and abuse came my way. I thought I had it coming, that it was my fault for still being autistic.
Slowly, though, things started changing. I found a wonderful therapist who validated me as a person and told me that the way people treated me was not okay. I learned about autism and what it meant. I learned that just because other people do not have my same experiences, it does not make my experiences invalid. When I hear things that nobody else can hear, it does not mean that I am crazy. It means that I have sensory processing disorder. Who knew?
I am lucky enough to live in a part of the country with a very active local Asperger’s group as well as a nearby chapter of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. And I will fully admit, that when I first met ASAN members who said that they were autistic and proud of it, I thought that they were crazy. How could you be proud of something that was so bad? But the people there did not judge me, they knew that I had to come to a place of acceptance on my own, and they knew that healing would take time.
Healing is giving yourself that time. It is acknowledging that you are in pain, and the pain hurts like hell, but at some point in the future the pain will pass. It is telling yourself that you do not need a magic machine, but there is no shame in taking help (or medication) when needed. Healing is doing quite a lot of hard work on your own, just to get to the place where you can accept yourself.
Healing is realizing that you can be both broken and whole. You can be autistic and dislike parts of it, even as you embrace your whole self with all its’ flaws. You have a lifetime of learning ahead of you, and accepting yourself does not mean that you will never change, grow, or find new tricks to make life smoother. You will continue to both defy stereotypes and embrace them. You will stim in the middle of a dance party. You will have days when you are verbal, days when you are not. Being autistic is to be in a liminal state; healing is learning to live with the liminality around you.
Healing is not letting yourself be taken in by charlatans or those promising a cure. In college and high school, I was an easy recruit for evangelical Christian groups, but they were quick to dismiss me when it became clear that I really found that whole Jesus/deity in the sky thing to be a load of bunk. In my twenties, however, I discovered a religion where it is perfectly okay to be an atheist. It is perfectly okay to be a humanist. It is perfectly okay to be whatever you are, as long as you treat others kindly and fairly. Embracing Unitarian Universalism has done more for my healing than anything else. It has given me a community where there truly is unconditional love, although it took me a long time before I really believed them.
Healing sometimes means distancing yourself from people who do not accept you as you are, and who do not love you and support you unconditionally. Sometimes, these people are family members, and it can be very hard at the holidays when everyone is celebrating and you have chosen not to be there. But if every encounter with that person makes you feel unworthy, if they tell you that if you really tried, you wouldn’t be autistic, then being around them is not good for your physical or psychological health.
Healing is forgiving. It is acknowledging that the people who harmed you did not usually do so maliciously. It can be very easy to lay the blame on others, when in fact the blame should go to no one. Anger about the past is useless, as nothing can be done about it. If we think about our dark times, it should only be to warn others against them and to celebrate how far we have come. Throughout your life people may wrong you, and it will not be your fault.
Healing is forgiving yourself. We all make mistakes, and we are all put into situations which are too hard for us to bear. Our past behaviors were not meant maliciously, and those who continue to think so are not healthy for us to be around. We will make mistakes in the future, and we must acknowledge that it is okay to do so, and it is okay to forgive yourself. If you can truly forgive yourself, then you can forgive others as well.
Healing is freedom. Freedom to design your sensory environment perfectly, to choose where you work, where you live, what you eat. It is being in charge of your own self. It is realizing that there is absolutely nothing wrong with spending hours, or even days, deep in the throes of your latest obsession, as long as your life is still getting lived. It is counting your spoons and deciding if going to a social event is worth it, and going to bed early on New Years Eve because you are tired, and there is nothing bad about that. There is nothing bad about you.
Healing is experiences. It’s making new memories that you can store in your excellent brain. It is cherishing every moment. It is closing your eyes and singing. It is having people understand your odd quirks and mannerisms, and respecting your knowledge about yourself. It’s funny that when you know that you can have a total meltdown, and it will be all okay, you find yourself having fewer meltdowns.
One evening this July, as I sat with friends around the dinner table at a vacation cabin, I realized that I had not had a ‘break’ from being around people all day. Usually, social events leave me so exhausted I have to leave after a couple of hours. But the friends I was with were so open and accepting of me that the tension and anxiety I am constantly carrying had managed to
leave. I had relaxed — in the presence of other people — for quite possibly the first time in my life. I was healing, and damn, but it felt good.
It is a lot of work to vanquish the demons of your past. When you have internalized a lifetime’s worth of insults and abuse, realizing that you deserve to be treated fairly and respectfully means that your entire worldview will need to change. And when people begin to treat you the way you deserve to be treated, you will become keenly aware of your need to change your view: Because if these people accept me and think that I am worthy of their love, then why do I not think I am worthy of my own love?
Healing is having the courage to love again, even when you have been hurt, even when you know that you will be hurt again. It is acknowledging this radical, exuberant, dizzying idea that you are worthy of your own and other people’s love. What a fantastic concept- I am worthy of my love. I am worthy of yours. You are worthy of this love, just as you are.
Love; the promise of it, the certainty of it, is at the heart of all the healing you will do. Love makes your soul feel weightless, as the pain is lifted and you feel the sunlight on your face. Spring has sprung; summer is coming, summer is here.
Healing has come. | <urn:uuid:322441b0-82bb-4363-864a-abaf704cce81> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thinkingautismguide.com/2012/09/healing.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.984118 | 1,825 | 1.515625 | 2 |
The Southside School Annex was built in 1936 through a grant provided by the Public Works Administration (PWA), one of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs initiated during the Great Depression. The Southside School had been built in 1903 to accommodate a growing student population. A small fire station located on the property was converted into additional school space in 1918 as the town continued to grow. By 1935, the Reno School District recognized the need for more space and applied to the PWA for construction funding. Once funding was approved, construction began in 1936.
The auxiliary building, as it was originally called, was designed by the architect Lawrence Gulling, the grandfather of noted interior designer Bruce Goff, in the Art Deco architectural style. The red-brick school’s most striking feature is the two-story stepped and recessed terra cotta frontispiece surrounding the entrance, which is angled to face the corner of Liberty and Sinclair streets. Other decorative elements are in owl and floral motifs rendered in terra cotta.
The building was designed to house the kindergarten program on the first floor and an auditorium upstairs. The quality of construction was high throughout the building and interior design elements include a stunning fireplace in the kindergarten room surrounded with tiles depicting the Old King Cole fairy tale. The tiles were made by the prominent Arts and Crafts tile maker, Ernest Batchelder of Los Angeles.
By the late 1950s, Reno was expanding and the demography of the downtown area was changing. In response the school district traded the land under the Southside School to the city government in exchange for some property in the north part of town. Several plans for the property were considered and in 1960 the Southside School was demolished. The following year, the Reno City Council voted to place a new city hall on the site. That building opened in 1965. The Annex, as it had come to be known, was converted into city offices and then leased to outside organizations. It was listed on the Reno Register of Historic Places in 1996. | <urn:uuid:bc71c7d0-b916-414b-91b1-6f39351cdd90> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://renohistorical.org/items/show/55 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.982862 | 415 | 2.90625 | 3 |
A hip roof is one that each side of the roof slopes down toward the walls of the home. In most cases, the slope of the roof is a gentle one as opposed to sharply pitched. There are no gables on a hip roof.
One of the advantages to a hip roof is that it is self-bracing. It requires less diagonal bracing, and they are typically found in regions of the country where hurricanes occur. Hip roofs are designed in such a way that they don’t catch wind, but the slope of the roof is important. The flatter the slope, the more likely it is that the roof will catch the wind and act like the wings of an airplane, lifting the roof off of the home.
One of the disadvantages of a hip roof is that it leaves less room on the inside of a home. For example, a gable roof tends to allow space for an attic that can be finished into a loft or spare room as the needs of a family grow. A hip roof, because of its relatively flat design and no need for bracing, does not allow for the same space underneath.
If you are interested in your options for roofing styles and the design that may be best suited to your home and region, speak with an experienced home designer for more information. A home designer can help you make the best decisions for your needs and budget. | <urn:uuid:ee5840d0-ca0d-41be-9771-f7c77e7670a6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://frankbetzhouseplans.com/house-plan-news/glossary/hip-roof/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571911.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813081639-20220813111639-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.96876 | 281 | 2.25 | 2 |

The Protohistoric Bronze Age (c. 1700-1100 BCE; Middle Cypriot III-Late Cypriot IIIA) on Cyprus was a period of revolutionary change that witnessed the rapid development of hierarchical and heterarchical social organization, economic intensification and specialization, and its increasing integration into the politico-economic system of the Near East and eastern Mediterranean (Figure 1). At the same time, there were major changes to the island’s built environment, including new types of domestic and mortuary architecture, monumental buildings, and the first cities. Previous research suggests the new built environments were not merely by-products of sociopolitical change, but rather a primary means by which the change occurred. They were a fundamentally different experience from those of the Prehistoric Bronze Age that preceded it, providing new patterns of movement, surveillance, interaction and daily practice that generated social change. Unfortunately, the dynamics of this process are not well understood and have not been systematically investigated. The major problem is that, while a number of Late Bronze Age sites on Cyprus have been partially excavated, we still have no clear picture of the anatomy of a Late Bronze Age city, i.e. how individual buildings were integrated into an overall urban landscape that structured social interaction. Various issues of expense and conservation make the complete excavation of something as large as a city nearly impossible, if not undesirable. With advancements in archaeological geophysics, however, we now have the potential to obtain detailed urban plans, which we can use to investigate these processes.
In the current phase of the project, we are investigating the important urban centers of Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios and Maroni-Vournes/Tsaroukkas using a combination of archaeogeophysical survey, test excavations, digital recording of extant architecture using terrestrial LiDAR (3D laser scanning) and photogrammetry, spatial analysis, and 3D modeling. These sites, which flourished in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE, are located in neighboring river valleys in south-central Cyprus. The KAMBE Project undertook two seasons in 2008 and 2010 aimed at establishing the efficacy of various geophysical methods under different environmental conditions, and two four-week seasons in 2011 and 2012 during which we significantly expanded our survey coverage and began assessing the geophysical data through test excavations at both sites.
This work is allowing us to meet a number of specific research objectives. The first is to obtain relatively complete urban plans of Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios and Maroni. This would significantly expand the dataset of Late Bronze Age architecture and, by applying analytical methods such as access and visibility analyses, provide unprecedented insight into how the new urban environments organized social interactions that supported or changed social structures. The development and testing of methods for analyzing ancient built environments that would be applicable to data from any period or region is also a major objective. In addition, we are developing a GIS-based database that will combine environmental and archaeological data obtained from our work with those from earlier excavations and surveys at both sites. This will create a powerful research tool for the study of Late Bronze Age social dynamics as well as powerful cultural resource management tool that can assist in land-use decisions in an area under threat from various forms of development. All data will eventually be made available to interested parties through this website. Last, but not least, we see the development of collaborative student training opportunities in the use of archaeological technologies as one of the KAMBE Project’s primary objectives. | <urn:uuid:ddba3fe2-801c-4dd0-b58a-40fba12fa127> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kambe.cnrs.ubc.ca/sample-page/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.953336 | 716 | 3.015625 | 3 |

Enabling local higher education for young people in poverty-stricken areas, social hotspots and crisis zones - that is the aim of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU) in cooperation with Jesuit Worldwide Learning - Higher Education at the Margins (JWL). To do this worldwide, it uses innovative digital teaching and learning formats. “With our service we can reach countries and regions in which there is hardly any basis for training future teacher. Our students will themselves become multipliers of education in their environment, who in turn will be able to competently coach other people through their learning journeys,” says KU President Prof. Dr. Gabriele Gien.
Musical encounters as a stepping stone for social exchange and participation - this is the principle pursued by the Master’s degree “Community Music” at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU), whose concept for practical projects by students under the direction of Prof. Dr. Daniel Mark Eber-hard has now been awarded the international “Uniservitate Award” for service learning projects. A total of 200 applicants hoped to win the accolade which has been awarded for the first time for seven world regions by the international Uniservitate network this year.

A large number of new business models for decentralized energy supply is not the only feature of the battery market that Prof. Dr. Hans-Martin Zademach, professor of Economic Geography at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU) is researching in his new project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Freight and goods traffic has increased to a degree that it now makes up nearly 30 percent of all the traffic in German cities. “The coronavirus pandemic has reinforced and accelerated this trend, as online trade and with it deliveries have boomed,” says Prof. Dr. Pirmin Fontaine. He holds the junior professorship for Operations Management at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-ingolstadt (KU) and is currently looking into the potential of cargo bikes for city deliveries.
How thick is the remaining layer of glacial ice in the Alps? And what is going on underneath that cover of ice?

In contrast to developments in Western Europe, religion continues to gain importance globally - also with regard to political processes of recent times. Even in the current Ukraine conflict, religion plays a role after the country’s Orthodox Church was split with the nation’s independence in the early 1990s. Knowledge about Orthodox Churches and Churches of the Christian Orient in the Middle East, however, remains scattered around the world.
Alcoholism and unemployment lead to a vicious circle: If you are unemployed, you are more likely to fall prey to an addiction - and if you are addicted, you are more likely to lose your job. “That is why employment is a core element for success in the rehabilitation of alcoholics.

MR imaging is well suited to evaluation of the pelvis. Ultrasonography remains the study of choice for the initial evaluation of a suspected gynecologic mass. MR imaging and computed tomography remain problem-solving tools that can help to characterize masses and stage gynecologic malignancies. MR imaging has the advantage of higher soft tissue contrast compared with computed tomography.

How to be a social media peacemaker
By Douglas S. Bursch–
We are called to be peacemakers. However, if our actions are not thoughtful and intentional, we wound those entrusted to our care. We harm friends, family, neighbors, strangers and the people we come across in our online living. To bring peace, we must become intentional peacemakers. The nature of social media and the already persistent destructive habits of many users requires we develop intentional reconciling strategies. If we don’t have a clear understanding of what we are trying to accomplish online, we succumb to our worst inclinations. We fight the wrong battles for the wrong reasons. We produce divisions, conflicts and heartaches. We might win our arguments, but we lose our ability to advance the good news of Jesus Christ.
Paul wrote, All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18). God gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Are we truly walking out this ministry online? Do we have an intentional social media peacemaking plan? How do we assess the success or failure of our online reconciliation efforts? Do we have Christ-centered, fundamental reasons motivating our social media communication? If you do not have some measure of clarity concerning these questions, then I urge you to join me in developing a simple, intentional peacemaking plan, strategy, framework or rubric through which you assess all of your online communication.
This online strategy is not a set of laws you use to condemn yourself and others, but rather the development of central principles, guidelines or questions you ask yourself to motivate your social media activity and to assess whether or not you make room for the reconciling presence of Jesus Christ. This intentional assessment allows us to have deeper conversations with God about why we exist online and about the importance of our words, actions and attitudes in the advancement of God’s kingdom. I’m going to share five questions I try to keep in mind during every online interaction. I pray these principle-based questions benefit you in your online practices as you form your own social media peacemaking plan.
1. Is reconciliation my motivation? When reconciliation becomes the “why” behind our social media communication, the advancement of Christ’s kingdom becomes the fruit of our online activity.
2. Are people my priority? When we focus on people versus ideas and political agendas, we seek God’s presence in the conversation. For us to be peacemakers we must intentionally humanize every online interaction.
3. Am I communicating truth in love? In a polarized, divisive age, we must intentionally examine the motivation of our hearts when communicating truth. If we lose sight of love, we lose sight of our purpose for communicating.
4. Where is the grace? Even when confronting polarizing behaviors or moderating online groups, let us advance God’s purposes through the reconciling grace of Christ. The gospel thrives in climates of grace.
5. What is the spirit saying? Too often the immediacy of social media keeps us from pausing to consider the perspective of our reconciling Savior. How many conflicts could be handled better if we first took time to find the heart of God before we post, tweet or hit send?
When I look back on my life, I realize I’ve done a lot of damage focusing more on giving answers than asking questions. I think about all the answers I had as a college freshman as I argued with a fellow classmate to the point of tears. In my zeal to win the debate, I provided all the right answers, but didn’t stop to ask myself the most important questions.
If I had asked myself the right questions about my true motivations, I would have focused more on pointing to Jesus and less on trying to be right. I would have cared about the person in front of me and the God who loved her more than I cared about my clever debate tactics. I would have realized my truth was being communicated without the love of Christ. If I had paused to question my intentions, I would have noticed how my argumentation left no room for grace or mercy. Most importantly, if I had sought God’s heart in the matter, I would have made room for the Spirit’s leading and facilitated an environment that turned our debate into an opportunity for a fellow student to express her heart instead of defending her worth.
Unfortunately, I was too full of answers to waste my time with the right questions. I’ve provided questions I use to assess my social media interactions. These questions flow from my struggle to embrace the ministry of reconciliation in my online communication. I believe many of the questions and issues I addressed are universally applicable to every social media user. Even so, I recognize each of us must come to our authentic heartfelt conclusions concerning the effectiveness and appropriateness of our own online interactions.
We do not live our lives in comparison to others. Each person must find the heart of God for their own journey. Christ proclaims, “You must follow me” (John 21:22). Consequently, I urge you to prayerfully seek God’s heart on which questions you must ask yourself as you engage in the ministry of reconciliation. I am confident God will give you a peacemaking plan specific to your unique personhood and calling.
Peacemaking is difficult. We can’t just say and do whatever comes to our minds. The ministry of reconciliation requires we actually wait upon God, submit our wills to God and learn how to temper some of our less productive inclinations. Social media peacemaking turns our online world into something far more than just a place for self-expression. Instead, our online lives become ministry fields, environments where we daily walk with Jesus into interactions and conflicts to practice the ministry of reconciliation. Our communication is not our own but hidden in Christ. For peacemakers, every online interaction presents us with the opportunity to make room for the reconciling presence of God. Whether individuals accept or reject our peacemaking mission, we find great meaning in living as online ambassadors of God’s reconciling kingdom.

Owning your own home is a great feeling. It’s the place to relax, unwind, and do your own thing. It’s also somewhere that you can make changes and stamp your own unique style on. But, being a homeowner comes with responsibility.
Your house needs regular maintenance to keep it in the best condition. This ensures your ongoing maintenance costs are minimal and you’re less likely to have a fire.
A fire can devastate your home and house fires kill at least 50 people per year. There are many reasons why a fire can start. However, it’s estimated that in 40% of cases the cause is an electrical issue.
That’s why it’s essential that you contact a local and reputable level 2 electrician and have your electrics checked annually, this will reduce the risk. It’s also a good idea to be aware of the most common causes of electrical house fires. It will help you to prevent them from happening:
Bad wiring generally refers to cables that have lost their protective sheath or wiring that has been done incorrectly. This results in a high risk of wires touching against each other. When this happens the wires spark, the spark should result in the circuit breaking tripping, and cutting the power supply. However, the spark can also ignite anything combustible near the wiring. If this catches fire it can quickly spread.
Of course, the fire may start behind the internal wall, meaning that you don’t realize it straight away.
Every circuit is designed to handle a certain amount of current. However, the only limit on the current that can be drawn is the circuit breaker. If this is overrated and you plug too many appliances into one circuit, the breaker won’t trip when it’s supposed to.
This means that the cables will get hot and eventually melt the protective wiring. This will result in the wires touching together, as described above potentially causing a fire.
This problem is easily avoided by making sure you don’t plug too many things into the same circuit. If you need more circuits then speak to your electrician about adding them properly.
Then you won’t need extension cables or to overload circuits.
Sometimes a portable heater is the most effective way to heat the space you’re sat in. It may not seem economical or wise to heat the rest of the home.
However, portable heaters are one of the biggest causes of fires. They put out significant amounts of heat and are often positioned too close to flammable objects. If you leave the heater on and leave the room, a badly positioned heater can start a fire.
The older your wiring the more likely it is that the outer sheath will have been damaged, increasing the risk of short circuits and fires starting. If your wiring is more than twenty years old, you need to think about replacing it.
Annual electrical inspections save lives, as does being vigilant. If you notice any issues with your electricity then stop using the affected circuits and get professional help. | <urn:uuid:f38564b6-0358-4f5e-b385-00d8c14d3c43> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://domesticationsbedding.com/electrical-fires-in-the-home/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571911.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813081639-20220813111639-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.942022 | 690 | 2.578125 | 3 |
The package manager simply the package management job. Using a single utility you can install, uninstall, update packages e.g APT for Ubuntu, NPM for Node js and there are many. Here, packages are software, programs, tools, and Libraries.
Similarly, pip is for Python.
pip – Python package manager
PIP is a package manager for Python which helps you to install/uninstall/update packages from the Python package index. It does support other indexes as well.
Why you need a package manager for Python?
Python is so popular that there are many programs, scripts, and other tools made with the language. PIP provides a quick and easy way to get them.
So let’s see how to install pip on Ubuntu and also cover basic usage.
Install Pip on Ubuntu
Pip is available in the Ubuntu official distribution repositories. So you can use the apt command(steps are given below) to easily install it.
Note:- Below instructions should work on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04.
Open a terminal and run the following command to install pip on Ubuntu.
1. Refresh package index using the command.
sudo apt update
2. Install pip using the below command.
For Python 2,
sudo apt install python-pip
For Python 3,
sudo apt install python3-pip
And this way Pip will be installed.
3. Check the installed version with the following command:
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)
Now, let’s see how to use it.
Basic use of Pip on Ubuntu
Usually, the version of a program that is in the official Ubuntu repositories is not the most recent one. This also applies to Pip. Therefore, one of the first things we can do is update Pip.
To do this, in a terminal, we can use the same Pip to update it. Run:
pip3 install -U pip
This way, we can have the latest stable version of Pip.
As I said before, the operation of Pip is very similar to a package manager. So to install some program or utility, just follow this syntax:
pip3 install [package]
This command will install it locally, in case you want to do it globally, use this syntax:
sudo -H pip3 install [package]
If you want to uninstall any package, just follow this syntax:
pip3 uninstall [package]
Also, you can look for a specific package.
pip3 search [package]
This way, you can use Pip on Ubuntu.
Python Pip is the most convenient way to install many packages and utilities that have been made with Python. Its similar operation to a package manager makes it have a rather low learning curve.
Now you know how to install Python and Pip you can do many wonders with them.

The patient is probably experiencing migraine without aura. Migraines are a complex disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of headache, most often unilateral. These attacks are associated with symptoms related to the central nervous system. Approximately 15% of patients with migraine experience aura (temporary visual, sensory, speech, or other motor disturbances). More research is needed to determine whether migraine with and without aura are potentially different diagnostic entities.
Classic migraine is a clinical diagnosis. When patients experience migraine symptoms routinely, however, it is important to consider whether these signs and symptoms can be accounted for by another diagnosis. Neuroimaging and, less commonly, lumbar puncture may be indicated in some presentations; red flags that call for additional workup are captured in the acronym SNOOP: systemic symptoms, neurologic symptoms, onset is acute, older patients, and previous history. In addition, classic migraine should be distinguished from common headaches as well as rare subtypes of migraine. For instance, hemiplegic migraine typically presents with temporary unilateral hemiparesis, sometimes accompanied by speech disturbance, and may be inherited (familial hemiplegic migraine). Basilar migraine is another rare subtype of migraine that manifests with signs of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Attacks of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania are unilateral (just as migraines can be in about half of all cases); they are marked by their high intensity but short duration, and are accompanied by same-side facial autonomic symptoms (eg, tearing, congestion). Such patients' history and presentation do not fulfill criteria put forth by the American Headache Society (AHS) for chronic migraine, which specify having headaches 15 or more days per month for more than 3 months, and in which on at least 8 days per month those attacks are consistent with migraine or are relieved by a triptan or ergot derivative.
Migraine management must be personalized for each patient and is often associated with a marked trial-and-error period. Migraine without aura and migraine with aura are treated via similar approaches. AHS guidelines include several medications that may be effective in mitigating migraines, including both migraine-specific agents (ergotamine, ergotamine derivatives, and lasmiditan), and nonspecific agents (NSAIDs, combination analgesics, intravenous magnesium, isometheptene-containing compounds, and antiemetics). Triptans represent first-line acute treatment for migraine, but the FDA has approved five acute migraine treatments in total: celecoxib, lasmiditan, remote electrical neuromodulation (REN), rimegepant, and ubrogepant. For moderate or severe attacks, migraine-specific agents are recommended: beyond triptans, dihydroergotamine (DHE), small-molecule calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists (gepants), and selective serotonin (5-HT1F) receptor agonists (ditans). Patients should limit medication use to an average of two headache days per week, and those who do not find relief within these parameters are candidates for preventive migraine treatment.

Welcome to Tursan Tuesdays, where I take you on a journey through the Celtic world…
Today’s post kicks off my new series on Celtic goddesses. Mórrígan, or Morrígu, is my personal favorite so of course I’ll begin with her.
You may recall my last post featuring this powerful deity. I’ve taken the bit of information there and expanded. Enjoy!
The Morrígan, Mórrígan, Morrígu, Morrígna, Morríghan or Mórríoghain
The Mórrígan, or Great Queen, is the Irish warrior goddess of prophecy, battle, strife and fertility. Also called the Witch Queen of Death, she is known for being one of the most beautiful and sexual of all Goddesses, as well as being quite deadly. She has no problem using her sexuality to get what she wants, and can be ruthless in her pursuits. She can determine the outcome of wars, as well as predict when warriors will meet their end.
There is some debate over whether Mórrígan is part of a triple deity or the sum of three separate deities (Morrígna). Many believe that she, along with her sisters Macha and Anu make up the Great Goddess, or The Goddess, the Great Mother of all the land. Still others say Mórrígan is a triple goddess made by the aspects Badb, Macha, and Nemain.
Mórrígan is a shapeshifter; she can take the forms of raven, eel, cow, or wolf. The raven, or Carrion Crow, is a harbinger of death. It can frequently be seen flying above a battlefield, circling and casting spells to determine the victor. She will use the other animal forms in whatever way best benefits her agenda.
Mórrígan can also take different human forms. She can appear as a Crone, bringing news of death and destruction, or warnings of such. Less well-known is her form as a young maiden. Here, she will cast praise and love upon her chosen hero. Turns out she has a softer side…
She is the great sorceress of the Celts, her magical powers of prediction and enchantment are beyond compare. Mórrígan rules passionate love and sex, predominately affairs that tend to have negative consequences.
So maybe that side isn’t so soft.
Mórrígan rules over the following attributes:
Addictions, Arts & Crafts, Authority, Blood, Brewing (Magical), Cemeteries, Courage, Crossroads, Darkness, Death, Deceit, Decisions, Destruction, Diplomacy, Disaster, Divination, Dreams, Enchantments, Endings, Exorcism, Fate, Fear, Fertility, Foresight, Grief & Sadness, Hindsight, Illusions, Initiation, Intuitive Abilities, Jealousy, Judgment, Justice, Love (Healing a Broken Heart), Magick (Dark), Magick (Light), Magick (Lunar), Magickal Arts, Memory, Men, Menopause, Mischief, Moon, Mysteries, Negative Habits (to Overcome), Night, Oaths, Oceans (Rivers & Bodies of Water), Pleasure, Poetry, Power, Prophecy, Protection, Regeneration, Retribution, Revenge, Seduction, Sensuality, Sexuality & Sexual Activities, Shapeshifting, Sorceress, Spirits & Ghosts, Strength, Vengeance, Victory, Violence, War & Battles, Warrior Goddesses, Wisdom, Witchcraft, Women & Femininity
Mórrígan’s colors are Red, Blue, Purple, Black, and Silver ~ All of my favorite colors 🙂
See…don’t you just dig her?
So talk to me. What do you think of Mórrígan? If anyone knows of any symbols associated with her, please let me know…I’m researching art for my blank canvas.
If you have a specific Goddess you would like to see featured here ~ even if she isn’t Celtic ~ let me know!

Keywords: New media art, digital interactivity, immersion, corporeal experience, virtual reality
This paper will discuss the status of body and corporeal experience in the context of new media art, especially through the virtual works of art that involve digital interactivity and immersion. I will argue that an alternative understanding of aesthetics is needed in art historical and theoretical studies because the experience of virtual reality through new media art reappraise our ways of thinking about pictures and images.

The GWAS panel was evaluated at five different environments: E1-University of Agricultural Sciences, research farm, Dharwad (15°29'20.71"N, 74°59'3.35"E, 750m AMSL), E2-ICAR- Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi (28°38′30.5″N, 77°09′58.2″E, 228 m AMSL), E3-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Jharkhand (24°16'58.4"N, 85°21'16.1"E, 651m AMSL), E4-ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley, Karnal (29°41'8.2644''N, 76°59'25.9692''E, 250m AMSL), and E5-Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (30o54' N, 75o48'E, 247m AMSL). Around 20 g of grain sample from each genotype were used for phenotyping GFeC and GZnC through high-throughput Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) machine (model X-Supreme 8000; Oxford Instruments plc, Abingdon, United Kingdom) calibrated with glass beads-based values. To record TKW, the Numigral grain counter was used to count the grain number, the reading was set at 1000 grains and the weight of the grains was recorded in grams with an electronic balance. The GFeC, GZnC were expressed as milligram per kilogram (mg/kg), GPC in percentage (%), TKW in grams (gms).
Genomic DNA of the GWAS panel was extracted from the leaves of 21 days-old seedlings by Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) method. The panel was genotyped using Axiom Wheat Breeder’s Genotyping Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, United States) having 35,143 genome-wide SNPs. The monomorphic, markers with minor allele frequency (MAF) of <5%, missing data of >20%, and heterozygote frequency >25% were removed from the analysis. The remaining set of 14,790 high-quality SNPs was used in GWAS analysis. The detailed information of the methods and software used, data analysis and GWAS is available at DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-15992-z.

There’s a tangible, real-life impact of not modernizing—it creates inefficiencies and backlogs that drag down agency services. Even more so, in times of crisis like a global pandemic.
“Just look at the number of government agencies and programs that have banners at the top of their websites that say, “Due to COVID-19, please expect a delay in the processing of….’” noted Kevin Albrecht, Senior Government Customer Advisor at Hyland.
With technology advancing at a rapid pace, aging systems are often unable to support upgrades required for future success − and also pose significant security risks, hinder interoperability with other systems and impact overall performance.
But undertaking modernization can appear to be a daunting initiative for an already stretched federal workforce. Industry experts cite the following top reasons projects fail:
- Lack of skilled staff: Limited budgets for hiring, acquiring and retaining relevant talent can be a hurdle for modernization
- Project complexity: As agencies move towards modernization, the complexity of IT environments can increase and the responsibility of managing both legacy infrastructure and upgraded systems creates a burden.
- Time management/communication and lack of leadership support: Time management, communication and leadership skills are essential for making modernization an agency-wide effort that accomplishes organizational goals.
Additionally, in terms of complexity, agencies often think in terms of replacing legacy systems, which can be costly, time-consuming and impractical.
But, that’s not necessarily what’s needed to modernize.
So how can agencies achieve the goals of modernization without biting off more than they can chew?
Solution: Integrate a Modern, Scalable Platform
For federal agencies to achieve modernization success, determining the right strategy and technology tools is crucial to avoid projects that fail and result in wasted time and dollars. Investing in multiple, disconnected applications will only compound or lead to different challenges that could actually make an agency less efficient.
The good news: An investment in a single, cost-effective modern content services platform can drive your digital transformation and modernization efforts.
This platform provides a flexible, scalable foundation for transforming agency operations and improving processes. It offers digital capabilities and configurable tools for automating processes and centralizing online access to information, so federal agencies can eliminate outdated, manual processes and siloed data in legacy systems that slow government down, create backlogs and frustrate constituents.
Agencies can also future-proof their operations to withstand even the most challenging times, such as a global crisis and the need to empower a remote workforce. By leveraging a secure, electronic repository and modern technology, federal agencies can provide staff with online access to ‘content in context’ from any location – whether employees are working in the office, at home or in the field.

Businesses using video animation for their ads are getting the highest rates in advertising and know their audiences will sit through the entire ad. Now, with everyone being lockdown due to the coronavirus, companies are not using real people to sell their ads due to social distancing. Animation videos are an excellent avenue because the ads can take you anywhere from Maui to the tombs of the Ancient Egyptians! Everything weighs on the imagination of the creators.
It’s All Entertainment
We all seem to be surrounded with doom and gloom about coronavirus but we need an avenue to focus on something else once in a while. Think of the vast number of animated commercials that we have all grown to love. Think back to the Geico piggy commercial that placed Geico as offering the very best animated commercials holding the #1 spot for a very long time. Right now, everyone needs stuff that distracts us and is loaded with humor and takes us away from doom and gloom.
Companies can create short movies with any number of characters that viewers are going to flock to and leave everyone with a big smile on their faces. Viewers will have something to look forward to instead of feeling depressed while stuck in their homes and listening to the negative stuff coming off the news. Animation can bring in a concept of life that helps people become uplifted and production companies should come to realize how very fun and unique these animated videos can be, it’s a win-win situation.
Helping People Become Aware
Being aware of our surroundings has become critical, especially during these times with a life-threatening pandemic like СOVID-19. This disease is extremely contagious because it spreads so quickly through contact. Therefore, it’s really important that we use animation to educate people on what they should and should not do. Creating good videos loaded with valuable content like how to practice safe social distancing, how to properly clean your hands, and what you must know about the coronavirus should a family member or friend becomes affected by it.

Building a brand starts by having the right tools and advice. Download our top 10 essential tools and resources to kick-start your branding.
The production of really good, informative videos will spread like crazy and help everyone by providing information that will help them during this critical time. Keep in mind, really good, informative could save someone’s life, including yours.
Time and time again, animated videos have been very effective marketing tools because these ads are both physically and psychologically appealing to viewers and offer really high engagement. This, in turn, is essential for marketing because it fulfills the desired effect. You will know you have done a really great job when your ads go viral with your viewing audience.
Adding to that, when videos hit a higher shareability, you have entered an excellent engagement rate. There will be a connection with your audience that will relate to them and therefore lead to higher conversion rates.
Video animations are not only entertaining but marketers can weigh them to explain difficult concepts that are not lost on the viewers. They are a great deal more cost-efficient than other marketing techniques which, for now, marketers really need because of the economic impact from coronavirus and its impact on companies.
Education Must Be On The Rise, No Matter What!
The coronavirus has taken its toll on the education industry by shutdowns, putting parents, students, and everyone else in a really bad situation. Education is such a critical part of our lives, anything short of getting it up and running is unacceptable.
To help out, online educations is stepping up to the plate and is not compromising in any manner. Unfortunately, students are not exactly eager to get online and get an education. They should consider, they are stuck at home in an undesirable and very uncomfortable situation. It might not be the best environment for being educated, but it’s heading in the right direction.
What you might not know, animated videos might just be the change that will help students get back to work. If educational institutions were to invest in videos, spending a little time and energy to create animated videos for teaching, students might just look forward to online classes and get into valuable lecturers. Students will get a much-needed break from hearing about the pandemic while not harming their education.
Ever since the СOVID-19 pandemic, businesses are working remotely in an effort to keep their businesses going. Working from home is not easy, especially for office workers. Communication, motivation, and productivity has taken a major hit. This is why they should be taking advantage of tools and resources that are available to help make working from home more effective.
Animated videos play a large part as useful tools during a time like this. They can increase the emotional connection with your team while providing attractive visuals. These videos can be a motivational message, an important announcement, or even a birthday greeting. Also, employees are less likely to skip these videos because they are so incredibly engaging and a lot of fun.
Have fun staying in touch with your team and let them know you have not forgotten them during challenging times like this.
Videos In The Medical World
The medical world has always been an important part of our lives. They treat us for colds, mend limbs harmed in sports, and especially now for the coronavirus. There is no secret that animated videos are also used in the medical world. Videos assist professionals in examining the body or guiding them to the right spot for a delicate operation.
Using an animated explainer, doctors and other professionals can simulate the spreading of coronavirus and use the video to understand more clearly what’s going on. Also with the shortage in the medical world of doctors, nurses, staff as well as medical students, inexperienced medical staff can get excellent training using 3D animated videos and help out professionals.
Video animation is an amazing thing and incredibly flexible for so many different purposes. It doesn’t matter if you are creating a video for a marketing ad, a student, or a kid looking for something to do while stuck at home, video animation will help you out. As we move forward with social distancing, animated videos are going to play an even more significant role for all of us.

Background Engine neuron loss is characteristic of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and contributes to functional deficit. profile in spinal cord hurt animals was a result of the injured spinal cord rather than an inherent home of the transplant populace. As these mutants have a shortened life-span animals were sacrificed within 13 days of transplantation; the life-span of this animal model limits the time available for differentiation of transplanted cells. Human being cells MC1568 were detected in all mice in the ventral horns of the spinal cord. All human being nuclear antigen-positive cells double stained with Isl-1 confirming MMP15 the MN differentiation potential of the transplant populace in a model of MN loss that lacks a spinal cord MC1568 injury. Isl-1 staining was absent in non-transplanted animals consistent with their MN pathology. Human being nuclear antigen-positive cells did MC1568 not double label with markers for the mature engine neuron markers ChAT or SMI-32 indicating that 13 days of survival in vivo was insufficient for differentiation of transplanted hMNPs. Importantly very few of the human-positive cells were nestin double-cortin or GFAP positive indicating that the large quantity of these cells in SCI sites was a result of the SCI environment rather than the default differentiation profile of the transplant populace. Transplantation of hMNPs Caused Histological Benefit To investigate the neurotrophic potential of hMNP secretions and data indicate that hMNP-derived growth factors enhance neuronal survival in neurotoxic environments. In addition to enhancing neuronal survival following SCI hMNP transplantation enhanced serotonergic innervation round the transplant site. As different ascending and descending MC1568 axonal projections have been shown to respond preferentially to distinct trophic factors we consider the transplant-induced increase in serotonergic fiber content in the spinal cord a surrogate marker for growth factor-mediated sprouting. As hMNPs secrete a variety of neurotrophins it is likely that they act on numerous ascending and descending axonal populations. The changes in SCI pathogenesis following hMNP transplantation correlated with changes in functional recovery. Transplanted animals had an earlier recovery rate of balance and coordination as well as skilled forelimb movements suggesting an immediate neuroprotective effect preventing neurons from cell death and axotomized axons from dying back. As transplanted animals recovered to a greater degree the cells may have acted as a sustained vehicle for neurotrophic release enhancing sprouting/regeneration of severed descending fibers and possibly restoring connections to endogenous neurons. We did not observe significant differences in forelimb grip strength as others have reported following Schwann cell transplantation into cervical spinal cord injuries . This discrepancy may be due to the different injury methods the different cell type transplanted the different number of cells transplanted or the different placement of the cells with respect to the lesion MC1568 epicenter. Nonetheless the significant improvement in balance and coordination observed in our study is comparable to the functional outcomes observed following transplantation of other cell types into cervical spinal cord injuries . Maturation of transplanted hMNPs was restricted to the ventral horn. The failure of hMNPs to mature in all other regions of the spinal cord likely reflected the gliogenic nature of the SCI environment. Adult spinal cord progenitor cells are restricted to a glial lineage assays the cells were prepared for transplantation or cultured for electrophysiological assessment. Subsets of cells were plated onto matrigel coated 4-well chamber slides (Nunc; Fisher Scientific Pittsburgh PA) for immunocytochemical profiling as well as others were kept for real-time PCR analysis of neuronal markers. Electrophysiology hMNPs were matured for 8 weeks after day 28 on glass coverslips coated with poly-l-lysine and laminin in the MC1568 absence of growth factors. Cells were current clamped and a 200 msec ?20 pA conditioning pulse followed by a 1 sec 20 pA step was used for stimulation. The following symmetrical solutions were used for glutamate-mediated stimulation: external answer (mM): KCl 145 CaCl2 2 HEPES 10 D-Glucose 5 pH 7.4 NaOH; pipette answer (mM): KCl 145 CaCl2 HEPES 10 EGTA 10 pH 7.2 KOH.

Tens of thousands of people from nearly every nation on earth have descended on Copenhagen this month for the UN climate summit. As the delegates try to piece together a framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, they’re also absorbing lessons from one of the world’s leading cities in sustainable transportation. In Copenhagen, fully 37 percent of commute trips are made by bike, and mode share among city residents alone is even higher.
Come see “the busiest bicycling street in the Western world”, and lots of other you-gotta-see-them-to-believe-them features including bike counters (featuring digital readouts), LEDS, double bike lanes (for passing) and giant hot pink cars.
Copenhagen wasn’t always such a bicycling haven. It took many years of investment in bike infrastructure to reclaim streets from more polluting, less sustainable modes. Last week, I was able to squeeze in a whirl-wind tour with Mikael Colville-Andersen, the bike culture evangelist behind Copenhagenize and Copenhagen Cycle Chic, to get a taste of the city’s impressive bike network and cycling amenities. Watch this video and see how Copenhageners flock to the streets by bike even in December, when average temperatures hover just above freezing. | <urn:uuid:f54095fd-ca06-4da2-a0cd-e35b71bd6827> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.gcpvd.org/2009/12/14/streetfilms-at-cop15/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.931912 | 265 | 2.109375 | 2 |
American-Style War 'til the End of Time?
A Lifetime "at War"
Here's the strange thing in an ever-stranger world: I was born in July 1944 in the midst of a devastating world war. That war ended in August 1945 with the atomic obliteration of two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by the most devastating bombs in history up to that moment, given the sweet code names "Little Boy" and "Fat Man."
I was the littlest of boys at the time. More than three-quarters of a century has passed since, on September 2, 1945, Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and General Yoshijiro Umezu signed the Instrument of Surrender on the battleship U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay, officially ending World War II. That was V-J (for Victory over Japan) Day, but in a sense for me, my whole generation, and this country, war never really ended.
The United States has been at war, or at least in armed conflicts of various sorts, often in distant lands, for more or less my entire life. Yes, for some of those years, that war was "cold" (which often meant that such carnage, regularly sponsored by the CIA, happened largely off-screen and out of sight), but war as a way of life never really ended, not to this very moment.
In fact, as the decades went by, it would become the "infrastructure" in which Americans increasingly invested their tax dollars via aircraft carriers, trillion-dollar jet fighters, drones armed with Hellfire missiles, and the creation and maintenance of hundreds of military garrisons around the globe, rather than roads, bridges, or rail lines (no less the high-speed version of the same) here at home. During those same years, the Pentagon budget would grab an ever-larger percentage of federal discretionary spending and the full-scale annual investment in what has come to be known as the national security state would rise to a staggering $1.2 trillion or more.
In a sense, future V-J Days became inconceivable. There were no longer moments, even as wars ended, when some version of peace might descend and America's vast military contingents could, as at the end of World War II, be significantly demobilized. The closest equivalent was undoubtedly the moment when the Soviet Union imploded in 1991, the Cold War officially ended, and the Washington establishment declared itself globally triumphant. But of course, the promised "peace dividend" would never be paid out as the first Gulf War with Iraq occurred that very year and the serious downsizing of the U.S. military (and the CIA) never happened.
Consider it typical that, when President Biden recently announced the official ending of the nearly 20-year-old American conflict in Afghanistan with the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops from that country by 9/11/21, it would functionally be paired with the news that the Pentagon budget was about to rise yet again from its record heights in the Trump years. "Only in America," as retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and historian William Astore wrote recently, "do wars end and war budgets go up."
Of course, even the ending of that never-ending Afghan War may prove exaggerated. In fact, let's consider Afghanistan apart from the rest of this country's war-making history for a moment. After all, if I had told you in 1978 that, of the 42 years to follow, the U.S. would be involved in war in a single country for 30 of them and asked you to identify it, I can guarantee that Afghanistan wouldn't have been your pick. And yet so it's been. From 1979 to 1989, there was the CIA-backed Islamist extremist war against the Soviet army there (to the tune of billions and billions of dollars). And yet the obvious lesson the Russians learned from that adventure, as their military limped home in defeat and the Soviet Union imploded not long after that Afghanistan is indeed the "graveyard of empires" clearly had no impact in Washington.
Or how do you explain the 19-plus years of warfare there that followed the 9/11 attacks, themselves committed by a small Islamist outfit, al-Qaeda, born as an American ally in that first Afghan War? Only recently, the invaluable Costs of War Project estimated that America's second Afghan War has cost this country almost $2.3 trillion (not including the price of lifetime care for its vets) and has left at least 241,000 people dead, including 2,442 American service members. In 1978, after the disaster of the Vietnam War, had I assured you that such a never-ending failure of a conflict was in our future, you would undoubtedly have laughed in my face.
And yet, three decades later, the U.S. military high command still seems not faintly to have grasped the lesson that we "taught" the Russians and then experienced ourselves. As a result, according to recent reports, they have uniformly opposed President Biden's decision to withdraw all American troops from that country by the 20th anniversary of 9/11. In fact, it's not even clear that, by September 11, 2021, if the president's proposal goes according to plan, that war will have truly ended. After all, the same military commanders and intelligence chiefs seem intent on organizing long-distance versions of that conflict or, as the New York Times put it, are determined to "fight from afar" there. They are evidently even considering establishing new bases in neighboring lands to do so.
America's "forever wars" once known as the Global War on Terror and, when the administration of George W. Bush launched it, proudly aimed at 60 countries do seem to be slowly winding down. Unfortunately, other kinds of potential wars, especially new cold wars with China and Russia (involving new kinds of high-tech weaponry) only seem to be gearing up.

1.4.4 Using Compiled Functions
Once Origin C functions have been compiled, linked and loaded, they are ready to be used in Origin. This means calling the function by its name and providing the necessary arguments from any location in Origin that accepts LabTalk script commands. Common locations include the script window, the command window, or a custom button in the Origin GUI. Running Scripts chapter of the LabTalk Scripting Guide details all of the locations in Origin from which script, and therefore Origin C functions, can be used.
Accessing Origin C Functions from LabTalk Script
Origin C functions can be called from other Origin C functions and from LabTalk scripts. This section talks about how to control the access to Origin C functions from LabTalk.
For information about accessing LabTalk from your Origin C code, refer to the Accessing LabTalk chapter.
Origin C Access from LabTalk
You can control LabTalk access to your Origin C code by putting a pragma statement in your Origin C code before your function definitions.
#pragma labtalk(0) // Disable OC functions in LabTalk
#pragma labtalk(1) // Enable OC functions in LabTalk (default)
#pragma labtalk(2) // Require '''run -oc''' LabTalk command
The above code prevents foo0 from being called from LabTalk, allows foo1 to be called from LabTalk, and allows foo2 to be called from LabTalk using the run -oc command. If you were to comment out the second pragma, then both foo0 and foo1 would be prevented from being called from LabTalk. This is because a single pragma statement applies to all functions after the pragma and up to the next pragma or the end of the file.
There is also a LabTalk system variable that controls LabTalk access to all Origin C functions. The variable is @OC, and it defaults to 1, which enables access. Setting the variable to 0 disables access.
Listing Functions that can be Called from LabTalk
The LabTalk list command can be used to output all the names of Origin C functions that can be called from LabTalk. Options let you modify which type of functions is listed:
list f; // List functions callable from LabTalk
list fs; // List only those returning a string
list fv; // List only those returning a vector
list fn; // List only those returning a numeric
list fo; // List only those returning void
Note that setting @OC=0 will make Origin C functions effectively invisible to LabTalk, such that the list f command will give no result.
Passing Arguments to Functions
LabTalk variable types that should be passed (or returned) when calling an Origin C Function with the given argument (or return) type. The final column indicates whether or not that argument type can be passed by reference.
LabTalk script does not support all of the data types used internally by Origin C. The following table lists the

|| Pass By Reference?
|| matrix range
|| dataset, string array*
* string arrays cannot be passed by reference
As the table above indicates, arguments of Origin C functions of type string, int, and double may be passed by value or by reference from LabTalk. Note, however, that the Origin C function must be written for the type of pass being performed.
Passing by Value
Below are examples of passing arguments by value from LabTalk to Origin C. The format for each example is to give the Origin C function declaration line, and then the LabTalk code used to call it. The Origin C function body is left out since it is unimportant for demonstrating variable passing.
The simple case of a function accepts an argument of type double and returns a double.
double square(double a) // Origin C function declaration
double dd = 3.2; // LabTalk function call
double ss = square(dd);
ss =; // ss = 10.24
Here, an Origin C function that takes a vector argument and returns a vector, is called by LabTalk using data set variables, or ranges that are assigned to data types.
vector<string> PassStrArray(vector<string> strvec)
Can be called three ways from LabTalk:
dataset dA, dB;
dB = Col(B);
Col(A)=PassStrArray(Col(B)); // Or, use Col directly, Col = dataset
// Or, LabTalk ranges may also be used
range ra = [Book1]1!1, rb = [Book1]1!2;
ra = PassStrArray(rb);
Passing by Reference
For the Origin C function below, note the ampersand & character in the argument declaration, indicating that the argument will be passed by reference.
double increment(double& a, double dStep)
double d = 4;
type -a "d = $(d)"; // d = 10
The following example demonstrates some arguments being passed by reference and others being passed by value.
int get_min_max_double_arr(vector<double> vd, double& min, double& max)
dataset ds = data(2, 30, 2);
double dMin, dMax;
get_min_max_double_arr(ds, dMin, dMax);
//Or use a data set from a column; be sure to put data in Col(A)
get_min_max_double_arr(Col(A), dMin, dMax);
The following example shows passing a LabTalk matrix range variable by reference to an Origin C function.
// set data from vector to matrix
void set_mat_data(const vector<double>& vd, matrix& mat)
range mm = [MBook1]1!1;
dataset ds = data(0, 30, 2);
Precedence Rules for Functions with the Same Name
When a user-defined or global Origin C function has the same name as a built-in LabTalk function, the Origin C function has higher precedence, except when using LabTalk vector notation.
- LabTalk Function (vector)
- Origin C Function
- LabTalk Function (scalar)
Thus, LabTalk functions like Normal and Data (which return a range of values and are thus used in vector notation) would have higher precedence than Origin C functions of the same name. In all other cases, the Origin C function is called.
Defining Functions for the Set Values Dialog
You may want to define a function using Origin C, that will appear in the Set Values menu of either a column or a matrix.
If an Origin C function is built as part of an Origin project---either automatically by being placed in the Project or System folder of Code Builder, or manually by building a function in the User folder---it will be available in the User-Defined section of the F(x) menu in the Set Values dialogs (for both Columns and Matrices). To assign a function to a different section of the F(x) menu, issue a pragma containing the new section name as part of the function header. For instance, the following code will add function add2num to the Math section and function mean2num to the Statistics section:
double add2num(double a, double b)
return a + b;
double mean2num(double a, double b)
return (a + b)/2;
In this way, many functions can be defined in a single source file and, upon building, be immediately available in the desired locations of the F(x) menu.
Functions to be added to the F(x) menu must conform to the following additional restrictions:
- The return type of the function cannot be void
- The function should not have reference or pointer (&) for argument type | <urn:uuid:4f11ea32-2462-4f55-978b-2bfb9064f8b8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://d2mvzyuse3lwjc.cloudfront.net/doc/OriginC/guide/Using-Compiled-Functions | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571911.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813081639-20220813111639-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.801872 | 1,895 | 2.625 | 3 |
When someone is a bigger jerk than a jerk they’re an asshole. When someone is a bigger asshole than an asshole they’re a ‘sociopath’. (The term now, as it has been for ages, is ASPD.) “Sociopathy” isn’t even sociopathy anymore; its primary purpose is to give the melodramatic a word stronger than ‘asshole’ because they’ve hyperbolized its strength away.
The video this essay is about is the May 2015 Rio Bravo lynching. If you search some variant of “mob burning girl alive guatemala” you will find it in your preferred search engine.
So, if you’re the type to say ‘sociopath’ regularly, perhaps this video will give you perspective. It might be the worst thing you’ve seen, but even when it’s the worst thing you’ve seen you still aren’t calibrated to reality because it’s vivid and new. You will be fully calibrated to reality when you can look at this and react like the few hundred people around her did, like this is just something that happens.
When you’ve fully accepted and digested the reality of what has happened here and what happens in many other places throughout the world, all the time, bourgeois “sociopathy” is a joke. This is unique in that it’s by public mob, but many people are mutilated this way, in North America and even in the United States, such as via drive-by burning at a gas station.
The way she lays down makes me ache, and wish I could do something, but I have to turn this video off and accept that as that mob yells, her lying down while staring into the sky is her last sight as the flames burned away whatever consciousness she had left. Helplessness and agony are the last things she felt. No amount of hope can change that.
These are normal people. They look like regular people — they aren’t dressed in anything that says “I do dangerous things, therefore this is why this might happen to me.” Their motivations aren’t religious. This isn’t an anomaly. They’re doing this because their police are useless and they’ve resorted to vigilante mob sentencing. You could be one of these people. How can I say I wouldn’t be either, had I been pushed to similar circumstances?
Rio Bravo is 77 miles west of Guatemala City. The distance between this incident and their capital is the distance between my house and Austin. No one in San Antonio thinks “things could be worse; if I drove to Austin I could see a teenage girl burned alive.” The thought is bizarre, but someone in the safety of Guatemala City can have this thought unironically.
Apparently — and I say apparently because information is scarce and gleaned from Spanish translations — she was the daughter of a gang member, and the public believed she had been sent to do prison gang hits. Her and two other boys were alleged to kill a 68 year old taxi driver named Carlos Enrique González Noriega. I don’t know this girl’s name; I tried. So as best as I can understand it, this is the public feeling threatened by gang control and the public’s way of sending a message against it.
This is the kind of shit I think about when I hear people screaming about empathy on the internet or cyber-harassment or whatever. “How could you say those mean things?!” — well, how could a whole village of people be so chill while this happens? I doubt you think every kid and parent and relative in this video is a psychopath. The spectrum of empathy, malice, and so forth is so much greater than you thought.
How many people have died viciously in the whole of human history, where the last thing their eyes see is someone else’s determination that they die? Millions? That these people died hundreds or thousands of years ago doesn’t matter. They were nevertheless real people who suffered as much at the hands of other people. When the reality sets in that people *do* die this way, a lot, and it can even happen to people you might know one day, you might look at things differently. Maybe you don’t care because it just seems distant, but it’s easy to imagine how it might not be.
At some point you have to acknowledge that brutality is something regular people will do under the right circumstances. This is what humanity is. And for profound majority of human history, “the right circumstances” wasn’t a high threshold. If you’re alive in a country today where this is obscene, you won an existential lottery in the way that a Powerball winner wins the actual lottery. We can only be so lucky to call them “the right circumstances” now.
To “be human” is to have the potential for viciousness. To be otherwise is a historical anomaly. | <urn:uuid:c5570d8e-fea0-4f6a-9adc-b524d6b012c6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://alfredmacdonald.com/2016/06/19/1000-words-on-a-girl-burning-alive/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.966467 | 1,067 | 1.507813 | 2 |
Ice on the Green: Synthetic ice skating rink to open at Taunton's Lights On
This year the Taunton Christmas scene will include ice skating on the Green.
A construction company and a refrigeration company, both from Taunton, teamed up to create a 20-by-40 foot synthetic ice skating rink on the Taunton Green that will be complete after a few finishing touches, organizers said. The faux ice skating rink will be open for children to skate around on weeknights and Sunday mornings soon, they said, all at no cost to the city.
Dan DaRosa, of B&D Construction, and Joe Conlon, of Conlon & Sons Refrigeration, were at the Taunton Green on Sunday, where panels of the polymer-based material were being pounded seamlessly into place. The white plastic panels, which looked like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, were bought from an outfit in Ontario, Canada, called Synthetic Ice, Conlon said.
It took two Saturdays to build a deck to hold the synthetic ice, DaRosa said. He said the last addition to the installment will be a yellow caution strip on the ground around the periphery of the rink, to prevent skaters from sliding off the edge.
DaRosa said that the idea for the rink was initiated by Gene Alger, the chairman of the Christmas Parade Committee for the city of Taunton.
“This started after last year’s Lights On,” DaRosa said, referring to the holiday ceremony of illuminating Taunton’s downtown area. “He (Alger) pulled me aside and said, ‘You know what I’d always like to do on the Green? I’d love to have an ice rink.’ I said to him, ‘If you can dream it, we’ll build it.’ My first call was to Conlon.”
The synthetic ice is often used as a solution for residential hockey training.
DaRosa said that at first, they were considering installing a real ice rink, but with the electricity costs that it would require, it would have been too expensive for the city.
“To make ice, all you need is cold and water, but the problem (is) you get a day like this, (and) it’s not going to work,” said Conlon, noting the mild temperature. “And then the problem was it was going to be ridiculously expensive to rent a chiller for the month.”
The assembly took a full day’s work on Sunday, with Conlon’s granddaughters waiting from 9 a.m. until the late afternoon to try it out.
DaRosa said that the ice will be open on weeknights from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and on Sunday mornings, starting at this year’s Lights On ceremony on Friday.
A tarp will be placed over the synthetic ice at night and a guard will be present to prevent people from tampering with it, Conlon said.
After the holidays are over, Conlon will keep the synthetic ice panels and rent them out to anyone who wants them for a party or any other event, he said.
This is the fourth year that B&D Construction donated work for the holiday display on the Taunton Green. DaRosa said that he wished other local construction companies would collaborate in the upcoming years to contribute to the decorating of the Green.
He said Taunton Mayor Charles Crowley told him the city received several complaints from construction companies asking why the project was not put up for bid. DaRosa said that the mayor’s response was that the other companies are welcome to join the effort by donating their time and resources along with B&D.
DaRosa said his inspiration to add his piece to the so-called Christmas City display came from childhood memories of the Taunton Green during the holiday season.
“Ever since I can remember, my father loaded all of us in the station wagon and parked right over there each time,” DaRosa said. “I’m one of eight. How we all fit in the station wagon, I’m not even sure. But we’ve been coming here for years and years and years. To me, it’s wonderful to see.”
Conlon shared similar memories from growing up in Taunton during Christmastime.
“There used to be a barber shop right over here,” he said. “When I was five years old, I used to go there and get my haircut. I used to look out that window down there on the Green and it was always beautiful.” | <urn:uuid:27d28694-094f-4090-82dc-05e47d6d0ef2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tauntongazette.com/story/entertainment/local/2010/11/29/ice-on-green-synthetic-ice/41026878007/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.970351 | 996 | 1.726563 | 2 |
This is a documentation of My Bizarre Journey and what I learned along the way.
Strange, but true: bizarre is a word with a contested and murky background.
For a long time, it was conjectured that bizarre is of Basque origin, coming from the word bizarra, meaning “beard.” This same word supposedly passed into Spanish and Portuguese as bizarro, with the meaning “handsome” or “brave” (one imagines in the belief that a man with a beard was endowed with those qualities). From there it was thought to have been adopted by the French, who liked the word but apparently did not attribute the same heroic qualities to the bearded man. In French, bizarre means “odd.” Bizarre eventually came to mean markedly unusual or extraordinarily strange, sometimes whimsically so.
