3. Sharing the Warmth of Love in the Midst of Winter
Read Isaiah 58:6-14
In this passage, Isaiah speaks for the joy, delight and healing we receive when we reach out with joy, delight and healing to those in need. Our light will break forth like the dawn; we will be like unfailing springs of water; we will ride upon the heights of the earth. Our busyness and full schedules often make us hesitate to take time for others. Yet, all around us people are desperately in need of justice, healing, nourishment and warmth.
Is there someone you may have been overlooking who needs a listening ear or a helping hand? Isaiah notes that sharing our food and home with those in need is the truest worship. Whom might you serve this week? | <urn:uuid:dd6e3fb3-e7da-4901-bdc7-cfa02085131e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://simply-soul-searching.com/2016/12/06/tuesday-second-week-of-advent/?shared=email&msg=fail | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.956089 | 163 | 1.820313 | 2 |
It’s often easy to find a summer job as a student, but many only pay minimum wage. To make as much as possible — to pay for your education and to have some spending money left over — it’s worth searching for the highest-paying jobs. Here are a few types in particular to look out for.
If your major has anything to do with computers, you’re in luck. There are a range of jobs to pursue, many of them freelance, which means you can have several clients and fit work around other commitments. It’s a great way to gain experience that could help you land a full-time position after college.
By working as a bank teller, you’ll learn transferrable skills, including handling money and customer service. You’ll also show that you have integrity. Summer jobs in banks usually offer regular hours for decent pay, making them highly desirable for students.
Parents often need to keep working throughout the summer, but schools and after school programs are closed, leaving them without childcare. For this reason, child care is in high demand — and parents are willing to pay large amounts, particularly if they have several kids. It’s best if you have some experience, whether babysitting or even taking care of your own siblings.
Another way to spend time with kids over the summer is to become a camp counsellor. This can be fun if you choose a type of camp that matches your own interests, as you’ll be able to share your passion with the kids. If you pick an overnight camp, you’ll also receive room and board as part of your pay.
Ice Cream Shop Assistant
One type of business that’s always in need of more workers over the summer months is an ice cream shop. Although you’ll likely receive minimum wage as a sales assistant, tips tend to be high, particularly in tourist towns.
Waiting and Bartending
You can also increase your earnings from tips if you work as a server, either at a restaurant or a bar. Hours are more variable than at many other jobs and you’ll likely receive many shifts in the evenings. In fact, you could make waiting or bartending a second job along with something you do during the day.
You can pick up writing jobs from various freelance platforms. This could be ideal if you want to start developing your portfolio for a career in journalism or publishing.
After being stuck indoors for most of the semester, you may prefer a job that allows you to spend some time outside. Landscaping is a great option, especially if you’re physically fit (or want to be!). You’ll be responsible for mowing lawns, weeding gardens, and planting flowers.
An internship will pay at least minimum wage, but it has the added advantages that it will give you valuable experience in your field, help you decide what career you may like to pursue, and introduce you to useful contacts. Bear in mind that you’ll need to apply early because of the large amount of competition for top internships.
Save more of your hard-earned money by moving into affordable student housing. An alternative to living in Fleming College residence is Severn Court. As it’s directly across from campus, you never need to worry about arriving late to class. Plus, you’ll have your own bedroom in a fully-furnished suite, with high-speed internet and utilities included in your rent. Take a virtual tour to see everything Severn Court has to offer. | <urn:uuid:a2441af0-9341-4889-aece-c248f664e9b3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://studentrez.com/severn-court/the-best-paying-summer-jobs-for-students/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.968115 | 758 | 1.78125 | 2 |
Top 10 Safety Hazards At Home
Two years ago, a 4 years old boy accidentally shot and killed himself with a gun that is owned by his father. The accident happened in his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Until now, the case has not been settled yet.
In that case, his father did not realize that his gun could kill his boy. This accident is only one example of safety hazards that may persist in your home.
Many parents may do not realize about this hazard. They do not take enough care against safety hazards that may exist in their homes. What they can do is only to regret on what was happened. Of course it is too late and painful.
So, as a parent you must always be careful against safety hazards, which may harm your whole family members. Knowing precisely about them is a half-battle.
That’s why I write this article. It is to help you identify top ten safety hazards at home. You may find them all in your home. But, some of you may not. It is unique for each home.
Top 10 Safety Hazards at Home
You will be able to clearly see most of safety hazards below. But, there is one safety hazard that you cannot see, smell and taste.
I will list the invisible hazard first in order to get more attention from you since you will never know about its existence at all. Except, you use a detector.
- Carbon monoxide hazard. It is a toxic gas. People call it as silent killer since this gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless. You cannot use your sense to detect this gas. Detection can only be done by a carbon monoxide detector. Make sure that you have already had them installed in your home.
- Gun in the house. In the opening paragraph I already show a sad story related to danger of gun. If you have one in your home, make sure that your children are hindered to play it. Only you can use it.
- Slippery floor. Immediately dry up water and liquid spilled on the floor. Children under five years’ old and old parents may easily fall down and get injured. Watch your bathroom floor too since generally it is slippery.
- Sharp edge. I did not remember how many times my head got injured due to sharp edge especially at table edge. Installing table guard could be a great protection against this hazard.
- Fire hazard. Be careful with this hazard. You can easily find many sources of fire in your home; fireplace, gas stove, cigarette, candles including grills. Furthermore, fire hazard generates other hazards such as carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Small parts. Toy parts, needle, small magnet and any other small parts should be kept away from young children under five years’ old. Those things can be easily swallowed accidentally.
- Furniture tip-over. According to Consumer Product Safety Commission, between year 2000 to 2011 there were 105 fatalities involving furniture falling. This statistic should make you more careful about this kind of hazard.
- Electric hazards. AC outlet without plug, outlets close to water, defective electric wires and damage sockets are examples of electric hazards that are commonly found at home.
- Falling from height. Use ladder correctly when you try to repair something on the roof. And never used damage ladder to climb up. Falling from height may cause you injured and death. Never force yourself to climb up if you are unsure. Let the work done by experienced serviceman.
- Chemical hazards. Mosquito repellent, cleaning chemicals, plastic ware containing BPA and pesticides contain hazardous chemicals as their ingredients. Use those products as recommended by the manufacturers and keep out of reach of children.
Never think that you will only focus on those above safety hazards at home. Perhaps, there are still many other hazards at home. Always watch around your home.
And what you need to do is keeping out them from your whole family and if it is possible educates your family about those hazards since education is the best approach to protect your family from them. | <urn:uuid:ee823ccb-759e-42a0-be9d-765562a1c3b6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://diyhomedecor.us/heating-and-air-conditioning/top-10-safety-hazards-at-home.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.968175 | 830 | 1.75 | 2 |

Written by Holding On - A Virtual Experience of Internal Displacement
Abu Jassim’s story originally appeared on Holding On. This story has been reposted with permission.
As heavily armed ISIL fighters poured into their village in 2014, Abu Jassim and his family had enough time to grab their identity cards, their pigeons and flee.
The 49-year-old father of three had farmed the lands around Yathreb, a governorate 90km north of Baghdad, all his life. Nothing prepared him or his neighbours for a life removed from all that was familiar. The family had hoped their displacement would only be temporary, but days became weeks as they travelled from one place to the next until, three months later, they finally found sanctuary in Ahsty camp, Sulaimaniyah.
And through all the hardships his family faced on the road, Abu Jassim managed to keep his birds alive, a comforting reminder of home before they took flight.
“When we fled, I put my eight pigeons in a small cage and carried them with us throughout our displacement journey,” he recalls. “I couldn’t leave them behind, I loved them too much.”
The camp located outside town is adequate. It’s quiet, provides some basic amenities like modest schools for the children and has sufficient water, but the residents live in tents with little to do but relive the the trauma of their forced movement and the memories of the lives they left behind.
Despite having his beloved pigeons with him, camp life feels like a prison for a family used to living on a vast, open plain. But, Abu Jassim still prefers the safety here to returning to Yathreb where his house was razed and security remains an issue.
“Even if we returned, I would have to start from scratch. I don’t know when I will be able to rebuild my life, build a new house, buy a car, and get new livestock,” he says.
“The most difficult part is the lack of job opportunities. The only work I get is from the municipality as a daily worker for only 2,000 Iraqi dinars per day (about USD 1.50), while a regular daily worker gets at least ten times this amount. This is very humiliating for me, but I accept it for the sake of my family. I need to feed my family.”
He has managed to create a tiny coop outside the tent for his growing brood.
“My pigeons have had squabs since then, and I now have over 40! I often just sit here in my tent and watch my birds through this little window,” he says.
“It helps me relax. They remind me of everything I loved about my life in Yathreb: my farm, the fields, the livestock, having family and friends around me. I am so attached to my pigeons now that they are like a part of the family.” | <urn:uuid:be17c904-114e-428d-b47a-3d36da4357ea> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://crowd360.org/holding-on-abu-jassim/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.985003 | 630 | 2.25 | 2 |
It was just one tiny mosquito. Smaller than my fingernail, for goodness sakes. I could hear him buzzing around the tent, getting close to my ear, and then zipping away again. For such a tiny bug, he sure had a huge impact. The next morning, I woke up covered in bites all over my arms and legs and even face. It only took one mosquito. Just the one!
Maybe you’ve been there, too. Maybe you’ve had a similar night camping under the stars where the infamous singular mosquito transformed your trip, and in turn, your worldview about the little things. In many ways, we are like a mosquito. We live on a planet with over 7 billion people, yet we wonder if we really have an impact. How are we really making a difference? Besides, we are just one tiny speck on a planet full of billions of specs, right? It is far too easy to fade into the crowd and let other people worry about taking care of the planet.However, when it comes to climate change and environmental sustainability, it’s our responsibility to enforce positive change. It’s easy to be overwhelmed. It’s easy to feel like there’s not much we can do on our own. There’s simply too much to be done! Approaching a big issue with optimism and enthusiasm makes all the difference.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time outdoors. My parents raised my siblings and I to be thoughtful of our impact on nature, always teaching us to pick up little bits of trash we saw along the trail, to not pluck wildflowers where we weren’t supposed to, and to always leave places better than we found them. The same types of principles applied in our own home, thus going forward with that philosophy into the outdoors felt natural.I remember as a kid loving to climb trees. Every time we’d get to a campsite, I’d hope there’d be a pine tree just short enough for me to find a way up and tall enough to climb. My mom would remind me to be careful but also to not break the branches or knock off bark, so it stays intact. She explained that bark coming off a tree is like our skin getting scraped and cut open or like a scab being ripped off. This was both relatable and believable, and I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a tree the same since. It was these little things my mother taught me that added up and instilled in me basic ways to avoid leaving unnecessary impact.
Many years later, I am thirty years old and still love to go outside. As an outdoor enthusiast and recreationalist, it is my duty to help take care of the earth. Anyone who enjoys being outdoors and reaps the benefits by moving through it in various ways is therefore a steward of the land. We are all responsible to keep the earth healthy and to preserve the land we have. Being an advocate for the environment is to simply give a damn.It’s easy to walk by the old crunched up beer can and not bother picking it up, especially when it wasn’t yours to begin with. It’s much better, however, to take the few seconds to lean over and put it away for recycling once you’re off the trails. It’s easier to throw out your scraps of old food into the trash bin, but it’s much better to compost for future use in your garden and to reduce food waste.
When I learned about Mountain Hardwear’s new sleeping bag (™the Lamina Eco AF) made of 82% recycled materials and that all their tents are made without flame retardant chemicals, I was stoked. They are making bold moves to be innovative and sustainable in their production, looking to make less of an impact on the environment and more of a difference. They, like us, want a healthier planet.Supporting brands and using their products is especially relevant when the philosophy and values of a company align with your own. The work Mountain Hardwear is doing in their recycled material sourcing inspires people to care a little bit more about their carbon footprint and to be thoughtful of the products we consume. When more people care, more people are propelled into taking positive action and creating a movement of change. With an optimistic approach to environmental conservation, innovative ideas will continue forward and increasing amounts of people will be inspired to be better.
Spring always calls climbers to Southern Utah’s desert. The vibrant reds and oranges of sandstone walls jutting into the bright blue sky makes for prime climbing this time of year. It’s a great opportunity to climb hard, push your grade, and crag with friends and pups alike. I hadn’t seen my friend Allie in over four years since we had originally met, and although we’d been in touch for years, it was wonderful to reconnect on the rock as climbing partners.As I pulled into Moab on the first day to meet Allie, it began to sleet. I had never experienced wet snow in the desert and watching the swirls of white stuff spin against my windshield was discouraging. I knew this meant we would not be climbing.
Eventually, the storms passed, and we enjoyed a few full days of sunshine at the crag. Gale and Laura from She-Explores joined us for some time at Wall Street climbing area and we shared meaningful conversation around the campfire and on the road. It’s always a pleasure to share time with people who inspire you in big ways. The work Gale and Laura are doing at She-Explores is nothing short of phenomenal—it connects women in the outdoors and provides a space where love, camaraderie, honesty, and safety abide.When faced with challenges and environmental issues alike, we get to choose to see the silver lining in the darkness. Instead of focusing on what is failing us, let’s celebrate what is working and going well! Big changes take big moves, which ultimately demands the attention and caring concern of the collective as a whole. Big change starts with you. Be the mosquito and smile while you do it! | <urn:uuid:1023425d-8674-4542-ae63-db2f45ece173> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mountainhardwear.com/environmental-optimism.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.964824 | 1,282 | 2.125 | 2 |

Producers of beef and pork have generally been discouraged about recent low prices as cash prices have dropped sharply this year. Spring finished cattle price highs were near $138 per live hundredweight, but last week had fallen to $115, a $23 plunge.
The story is similar for hogs. After seeing yearly highs at $81 for a national lean price in the third week of June, prices have dropped $20, or 25 percent, in the past two months. Stepping back to take a longer view, finished cattle prices have been dropping since late 2014 when they reached record highs around $173. From $173 to $115 means, finished cattle prices have now dropped 34 percent. It is the same story for hogs, but with even bigger declines. The drop from the $130 record in 2014 to $61 today is a 53 percent reduction.
It is not hard to identify reasons for wild swings in prices over the past 10 years as these industries have been forced to adjust to large economic shocks. The severe multi-year drought in the Southern Plains was one of those shocks for the beef sector. The other was the period of surging feed prices starting in the fall of 2006 and continuing to mid-year 2013.
What is the supply gap? Drought in cattle country and high feed prices caused economic losses that forced supplies downward. As a result, the supply of meats (beef, pork, chicken, and turkey) dropped from 220 pounds per person in 2007 to just 201 pounds by 2014, creating a 19 pound supply gap. Low available supplies in 2014 brought record high prices for cattle, hogs, and chickens. Turkey prices moved even higher in 2015 because of additional lost production due to avian influenza.
The highest animal prices were in 2014 and 2015, at the same time feed prices began to moderate with the large 2013 and 2014 crops. High animal prices and lower feed prices meant record profitability. Record profitability was the signal producers needed to start expansion, and they will likely continue on that path for several more years. Thus, the meat industries are now in the process of filling the supply gap.
In fact, current USDA forecasts for 2017 are that U.S. per capita meat supplies will be back up to 216 pounds. That is a burst of 15 added pounds since the 2014 low of just 201 pounds and just four pounds short of the record consumption in 2007, which was based on the era of $2.00 per bushel corn.
Supply adjustments have been different for the pork and the beef sectors. Reduction in pork consumption per person was four pounds from 2007 to 2014. By 2017, pork will have recovered all of that reduction and be back up to 2007 per capita supplies. Pork will fill its supply gap. The pattern is much different for the beef sector that experienced more trauma and cannot increase production as quickly as poultry and pork. From 2007 to 2014 beef availability dropped by 11 pounds per capita and in 2017 is expected to still be about 10 pounds below 2007 levels. This means beef has only made a small step toward filling the supply gap.
There are some more important implications. First, the beef sector has been retaining females and this means that the size of the calf crops will be increasing over the next two years and per capita beef supplies will likely increase for two to three years. Second, the chicken industry has already filled its supply gap and more as 2017 per capita chicken supplies are expected to be six pounds more than supplies in 2007. Third, it is looking increasingly like the meat and poultry industries will totally fill the supply gap in the next three years with per capita meat and poultry supplies returning near the 2007 record of 220 pounds. However, beef is not likely to reach its 2007 levels, with chicken taking most of that market share.
A critical factor in a continued increase in per capita meat supplies will be moderate feed prices. The potential record 2016 corn and soybean crops suggest that corn, soybean meal, and forage prices over the next 12 months will be some of the lowest of the past decade. This is likely to stimulate somewhat more meat production for 2017 than the USDA forecasts used here.
Why are animal prices moving lower? The big picture answer is that the animal industries are rebuilding per capita supplies because of lower feed prices and restocking brood cows in the Southern Plains. It seems increasingly likely that the meat industry will totally fill the supply gap that was created from 2007 to 2014.
The meat industries are expected to continue to increase supplies until animal product prices drop to levels that approach breakeven levels.

INSITE: Center for Business Intelligence and Analytics works with several data and business intelligence software companies to bring hands-on tools for MIS students to use as they work on business projects in the classroom.
A student’s demonstrated ability to work with a variety of different tools illustrates a good understanding of the underlying principles and analytical techniques, which will in turn display an aptitude for learning whatever new tools become readily available in the future.
“As a philosophy, we like to let students choose which specific tools they want to use—we’re pretty agnostic about them,” Sudha Ram, INSITE Director explains. “We try to expose them to many different software tools, open source and commercial, explain how they accomplish their goals, plus the pros and cons. Then we let students choose based on look-and-feel, feature set, or career aspirations.” This approach also shows students the value of matching a tool to the specific need—something they will want to do once they move into the workplace.
“The students seem to like playing around with open source tools a lot,” says Sudha. “When they go to internships, they often see that organizations out there are using both commercial and open source tools—so it’s good for us to prepare them for that reality.”
Knowing how technologies, big data, and knowledge management techniques are used in real-world business enterprises is critical to the success of the program, Sudha concludes. “We try to do a lot of research in the same areas we teach, then let students simulate some of the same experiences. Having state-of-the-industry tools on hand for them to use is very essential. We’re very pleased that providers like Jaspersoft and Attacama have made them available to us and our students.”
View our case studies:
“The Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite is commercial open source software that delivers integrated reporting, dashboarding, analysis, and data integration so companies can make better decisions—faster.”
“Ataccama provides critical data management solutions and technologies to help organizations maximize the value of their data. Whether the need is industry focused or technologically driven, Ataccama has the breadth of experience and capabilities to deliver real business value. Additionally, an extensive set of predefined templates; methodologies, knowledge bases and data models are included as a core part of the solution in order to speed up all project phases from initial concepts through technical implementation to organizational process definitions and roles description.”
If you are interested in having our students use your software tools in the classroom, please contact Dr. Sudha Ram. | <urn:uuid:e4e626a2-58a8-43f8-9719-ec32daa5e838> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://eller.arizona.edu/departments-research/centers-labs/business-intelligence-analytics/education/case-studies | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.939489 | 555 | 2.078125 | 2 |
Learning the Three R’s: Council of Divers leads water workshops in La Jolla
Looking over the waters at La Jolla Cove a recent muggy day, San Diego Council of Divers president Joel Tracey spots several unknowing swimmers and snorkelers in potentially hazardous situations.
“Right there, I see two swimmers about 12 feet away from what is known as Razer Reef,” he pointed out. “It’s called that because it is covered in barnacles and if you get washed over that without a wetsuit, you are going to get cut up really bad. There aren’t any major waves right now, so they will swim close to the reef, and while they are looking at the pinnipeds that are sitting there, they forget about the waves the come every eight seconds or so. Those waves can pick them up and throw them onto the reef.”
Sweeping his gaze across the water, he added: “Over there, I see two swimmers on a place known as Takeoff Rock. There is a submerged reef head, maybe 14 inches below them right now. As waves come around, they can get drug over that reef. Right now, there are not big waves or a visible rip current, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get caught in a place you don’t want to be.”
Given the La Jolla Coastline is dotted with some of the most popular diving and snorkeling sites in San Diego, Tracey and the San Diego Council of Divers leads eight “Three R’s” — rocks, reefs and rip currents (often just shorthanded to ‘rips’) — education workshops per year for those who know how to snorkel and SCUBA dive, but perhaps not in tricky rocky conditions. The most recent workshop was at the La Jolla Caves on July 27, but three more are scheduled this summer.
Marine Safety Lt. Maureen Hodges, who guarded La Jolla until about eight months ago, said the La Jolla area is known on the force as “The Rocks” because “there are rocks and reefs at every beach,” and there is a reason these workshops are held here.
The Three R’s all go “hand in hand,” she said, “They are all hazards in the ocean that can cause injury or cause someone to have an issue where they cannot get themselves out of water. What ends of up happening is the reefs and rocks, because they are more permanently in place, have rip currents around them. In other areas, rip currents get created based on (seafloor) conditions. You’ll get lots of water with the flow of the ocean, once the waves subsides, water needs a way to get out.”
Whether fixed or flowing, when swimmers get stuck in a rip current, they often panic and cannot get themselves out.
“They try to swim against it,” Hodges said. “But it’s like trying to swim against a river — you need to swim parallel to shore to get out of it, or signal for help.”
She added, with the exception of lifelong and regular ocean users, most are unaware of these hazards: “We have seen people that dove or done some recreational activity but never experienced these conditions that create hazards and don’t recognize the dangers. Most don’t know unless they are in the ocean on a regular basis throughout the year.”
A Safety Solution
The San Diego Council of Divers was started in 1951, and in 1974, partnered with the San Diego lifeguard service to start the Three R’s program.
“It got started because lifeguards noticed an uptick in diver accidents and deaths that corresponded with the first day of lobster season,” Tracey said. “So they contacted local dive shops to let them know their instructors should be teaching these things. The program was started to teach new divers and snorkelers about the bottom structure, the rocks you don’t see because they are submerged and how the water creates rip currents and waves.”
Since that time, the program has changed to target the eight most popular diving sites along the La Jolla cliffs: North Bird Rock, Marine Street, Hospital Point, South Casa (aka Children’s Pool), Shell Beach, Boomer Point and La Jolla Caves, plus Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma. Areas such as La Jolla Shores are not included because they have a sandy bottom.
“Those are the most popular and see a lot of divers throughout the year, and are also the most dangerous,” Tracey said. “As a former lifeguard, I know it doesn’t take a lot for divers to be confused about conditions when they have only been trained in sand.”
During a typical in-water session, snorkelers learn the safest places to enter and exit the water, how to put on fins between wave sets, identify underwater features by observing water movement and surf, how to avoid common hazards for divers and snorkelers and learn to resolve problems when they do occur, encounter rip and long-shore currents and learn how to navigate them safely, and use tides and current conditions to plan dives.
All instructors are volunteers, and many are former lifeguards.
For Tracey, his guarding experience makes this mission a personal one. “I became a lifeguard in 1990, and it has always been about helping people who didn’t know what they were getting into. We don’t want people to drown if they are in the water. It’s hard for lifeguards to retrieve a dead body out of the water.”
As to whether he’s had to retrieve a deceased person from the ocean, he said, “Yeah. If you have been a lifeguard long enough, we’ve all had to do that.”
Because the conditions along the La Jolla coastline change daily — sometimes hourly — the best advice Hodges has is to swim, snorkel or dive where there is a lifeguard on duty, and talk to the lifeguards about the hazards and where you can go for whatever activity brought them to the beach.
“And if you are in a position where you cannot get out of the water, don’t fight the current, swim parallel to the shore and call for help,” she said. “A lot of people panic and try to fight it, get tired and get into trouble.”
Tracey added: “Watch the water for about 20 minutes before you go in, that will give you a good glimpse of what will happen.”
And, if you get into trouble, he added: “Know the area where you are, know the address and know how to call for help. If you are in the water calling for help, tell them to call 9-1-1 with a scuba diving-related emergency and the address.”
Tracey concluded, smiling: “If you don’t know what you are doing, take our course.”

How to Stop Snoring… for GoodArticle posted in: Nutrisystem for Men
Many people wonder whether or not they snore, and if they do, the first question is always asking how to not snore. Snoring is disruptive to others and even more disruptive to your health.
If your spouse says you snore, it can do more than just put a strain on your relationship: According to the Mayo Clinic, snoring is associated with difficulty concentrating when awake, excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent frustration or anger and greater risks of heart attack, hypertension and stroke.
Studies have also found a correlation between snoring and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, a condition that results in frequent shortness of breath. If this weren’t enough, a 2013 study published by the National Institutes of Health found that people who snored were 32 percent more likely to be depressed.
If your partner tells you that you’re constantly snoring, see your doctor—especially if your snoring involves bouts where you don’t breathe for a second or two. You may suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a more serious condition potentially requiring surgery or a prescription for relief. Regardless of the cause, if you want to reduce your snoring—try these five steps to get better, quieter rest right away.
How to Not Snore:
Stop Snoring Strategy 1: Sleep on your side.
Snoring happens because your airway is obstructed, but even when this is the case, air still needs to get in and out. So, the air comes out with more force, vibrating tissues and making it sound like you’re sawing logs.
To get an idea of how this works, think of releasing the air from the mouth of a balloon. When the airway is clear, the air flies out with little sound but a whoosh. But if you pull the mouth of the balloon to the sides with your fingers, you make it tougher for the air to get out. The rubber vibrates, and the balloon makes a sound that makes kids giggle.
Something similar happens when you snore, but the sound is less fun to hear. Sleeping on your back can make it worse. When you sleep, muscles in your mouth and throat relax. On your back, these relaxing muscles, including your tongue, can fall back into your throat, obstructing the airway.
If you’re a back sleeper, try sleeping on your side. To make this more comfortable, the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association suggests using more pillows to elevate your head.
Stop Snoring Strategy 2: Wash your pillows.
People who suffer from allergies are more likely to snore, and pillows have been shown in studies to harbor dust mites and other allergens that could lead to congestion, potentially blocking airways and leading to snoring.
Even if you don’t normally suffer from allergies, you could be mildly affected by these allergens. Or, you might just be grossed out to know that .001 percent of your pillow is made of mites, not pillow fibers. Putting them through the washer, or at least a hot dryer cycle, every month can help keep them clean, while retaining some puffiness to elevate your head.
Stop Snoring Strategy 3: Don’t drink close to bedtime.
After a long night of drinking, your partner may report that you snore more than usual: Alcohol also helps the muscles in your throat relax more than normal, which can wind up obstructing your airway. In addition, booze can irritate your nasal passageways, creating even further obstruction.
The British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association recommends refraining from drinking for four hours before bed. Bonus: Avoiding alcohol altogether is the best way to meet your weight loss goals, anyway.
Stop Snoring Strategy 4: Try a shower or “internal nasal dilator.”
Nasal snoring can be caused by congestion. If your partner says you’re a nasal snorer, try taking a hot shower before bed to help reduce inflammation. Some snorers opt to sleep with a humidifier in their room.
Nasal snoring can also be caused by the size of your nostrils. Try this test: Put your finger over one nostril and breathe in and out. Does the uncovered nostril collapse when you breathe in? If it does, your nostrils may also collapse in this way when you’re sleeping. The result: An obstruction to your airway.
Nasal strips are the fix for this issue. They have been shown to help slightly with mild snoring. A meta-analysis of research found that internal nasal dilators—kind of an internal version of the nasal strip—were even more effective for reducing apnea incidents, reducing the frequency, but not volume, of snoring. They’re about $12 on Amazon and don’t require a prescription, so there’s little risk in trying them out.
Stop Snoring Strategy 5: Lose weight.
In a 2015 survey of more than eight million people from The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, 71 percent of obese people reported that they snore, compared to just 36 percent for those of a normal weight.
This could explain why there is an association between snoring and increased risks of Coronary Artery Disease. Pair the heart disease risks of poor sleep patterns, along with the snoring caused by carrying extra pounds, and you won’t just ruin your night’s sleep—you could shorten your life.
Why do overweight people snore? There’s extra tissue in your throat and neck, fat, that can, like the relaxed muscles of your mouth, fall into the airway and block it. Reducing that extra tissue by losing weight could help put you right into the majority of normal weight people who snore, the 64 percent based on the survey mentioned earlier. Not to mention, losing weight can reduce your risk of heart disease, certain cancers and your overall risk of death.
With a program as simple as Nutrisystem, losing weight is even easier than deciding to sleep on your side: The program tells you what to eat, when to eat it and the portions are already measured, so you won’t lose sleep guessing how much you can safely down at a meal.
It’s not a snore, either (forgive the pun): Unlike weight loss programs that require you to eat the same thing day after day, Nutrisystem has lots of options, including pizza, pasta and cookies, so you won’t get bored. You can even choose every meal, ensuring you only get your favorites. | <urn:uuid:32b3cf12-fe40-4696-83c6-e62432843cda> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://numiapp.leaf.nutrisystem.com/for-customers/how-to-not-snore/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.942799 | 1,403 | 1.734375 | 2 |
Why you ought not to ask it: Nearly an equivalent reason since the that getting #3. Calling atheism a religion assumes on that it is an enthusiastic axiom acknowledged toward trust, maybe not a description predicated on thinking and you may proof. And it shows that you’re not willing or capable believe the chance that someone not merely have yet another advice on the religion than simply you will do, however, has arrived to that particular opinion in a different way.
Contemplate the things i said on the atheists are individual? Human beings was societal pets. We love to expend big date with others exactly who share all of our interests and you may beliefs. We like to work alongside others into requirements we have in common. In addition, when atheists come-out on the atheism, we reduce the nearest and dearest and you will family members and you can communities, otherwise has burdened and painful relationship together with them.
Atheists do teams so we would be honest regarding the which we was and you will everything we think, nonetheless not be alone.
The reason why you must not inquire it: That is an entire “damned if we do, damned if we you should never” conundrum. Atheists score advised from day to night that people you would like religion to own the community it provides: one to convincing some one from religion is actually cruel or useless or each other, since the a great deal social help takes place in religious organizations.
Upcoming, when atheists create would teams to change the ones anyone very will dump once they get-off faith, we become informed just how ridiculous it is. (Usually the audience is told, “Pick? Atheism simply other religion!” Look for #cuatro above.)
six. ‘So why do You Dislike Jesus?’ (Otherwise ‘Commonly You only Annoyed on Goodness?’)
The answer: Atheists are not annoyed at Jesus. We don’t think God can be acquired. We aren’t mad in the God, anymore than we have been enraged during the Father christmas.
The reasons why you ought not to query they: Which concern doesn’t simply deny our humankind. They denies our whole life. They assumes on one to atheists cannot really are present: which our low-belief isn’t really sincere, that it is a world psychological traumatization or immature adolescent rebellion, that it’s not really most non-religion.
And honestly? So it concern reveals how thin your own thoughts are. It implies that you simply cannot also check out the options that you might be mistaken: which you can not even conceive of someone enjoying the world differently throughout the ways you do.
7. ‘But i have You [Read the Bible or other Holy Publication, Observed Some Supposed Wonders, Etcetera.]?’
Atheists already are greatest-advised on the religion than simply very religious believers. Actually, we’re ideal-advised about the principles of particular religions versus believers when it comes to those religions. For the majority of atheists, seated and you will reading the newest Bible (or the holy text message out-of whatever religion these were increased in) is exactly what set her or him on the path to atheism – or just what place the final complete from the coffin.
As to the reasons ought not to you ask they? Once the my good friend and you can associate Heina put it: “‘Have you heard of God?’ No, in fact, I was created significantly less than a drilling material.”
Will you be not familiar with how controling an energy faith is within area? For the majority worldwide, and yes in the us, religion was impractical to disregard. It penetrates the fresh new personal lifetime, the economic life, this new cultural existence, the fresh new political lives. The audience is sopping involved.
The concept one to atheists you’ll for some reason came so you’re able to adulthood instead of knowing the latest Bible, away from reports regarding the supposed miracles, out-of stories in the private spiritual experiences… it’s laughable. Or it will be laughable in the event it just weren’t thus annoying. Religious right is all more than which matter instance a cheap fit. | <urn:uuid:d0ffd340-77b3-4d07-aac3-7a172792f0a8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lavioindonesia.com/2022/04/30/5-what-s-the-point-regarding-atheist-communities/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.949441 | 897 | 1.710938 | 2 |

The March of Charnobor – Visitors from dark forests
#intrigue #politics #mystery
Charnobor is the most recently acquired land of the Kingdom. The March was included into the Kingdom’s territory less than half a century ago. King Sędziwoj II Longbeard and Voivode Zdravko Vukovic concluded a treaty with an arranged marriage between their firstborn children: six-year-old Gniewomira and four-year-old Jovan.
The inhabitants of the Kingdom don’t know much about Charnoborans and Charnoborans themselves aren’t eager to deny half-truths and myths that have been told by their western neighbours, Ossorio and Riccolante, for centuries. It’s true that a typical Czarnoboran is, at least towards strangers, a taciturn and distrustful person, and that the dense forests of their land hide a lot of secrets within their thickets. However, the stories about Czarnoborian vampires feeding on virgin blood, or werewolves living in the woods can be put among fairy tales. On the other hand, Charnoborans themselves, being rather ill-disposed towards foreign merchants or travellers snooping around their mines, don’t deny such rumours at all, reacting to them with indulgent smiles, nodding their heads pensively. The undeniable fact is that you shouldn’t trust Charnoborans an inch, and that the admiration of Czarnoborian nobility for intrigue and backstage manipulation is downright proverbial.
The forests of Charnobor provide many goods that the March trades in: wood for masts and ship hulls, animal leather and fur, and delicious forest honey, but it’s the province’s mines that are its main source of wealth. Not only iron, copper and tin are mined in Charnobor, it’s mostly gold and silver.
Appearance and visual characteristics:
Charnoborans are not easily influenced by fashion coming from the rest of the Kingdom and they still dress in accordance with the centuries-old tradition. They wear long, flowing robes in subdued, dark colours (black, brown, grey and navy blue are dominant). Some other colour accents may appear from time to time, but they’re usually just minor details rather than entire garment elements. According to Charnoborian dressing tradition, both men and women tend to cover almost their entire body (except for the hands and face).
The exception, when it comes to both modesty and colours, is headgear. Every Charnoboran must always wear either an intricate, time-consuming haircut / a ravishing wig, or bizarre (by Kingdom standards) and often very colourful headgear.
Names and nomenclature:
The names and nomenclature used in the March of Charnobor should be associated with those of The Balkans and South Slavs.
Examples of female names:
Anka, Bojana, Dubravka, Emilija, Jadranka, Jagoda, Katica, Ksenija, Marica, Milanka, Nada, Sanja, Tena, Vesna, Vlasta, Żelijka
Examples of male names:
Andrija, Ante, Boris, Branko, Darko, Dragan, Franjo, Ivan, Josip, Krsto, Matej, Milan, Nebojsa, Pavo, Radovan, Slobodan, Tomislav, Vink, Zdravko
Other lands in the eyes of Charnoborans:
The Duchy of Ossorio:
Honourable to the level of being disgusting, they value promises given to strangers and all that chivalrous nonsense too much, underestimating the importance of cunning and acting in the dark. But they understand and value blood ties, and realise that hierarchy is an important thing. What’s more, they’ve always protected the rulers of the Kingdom; and our blood already flows in the veins of those who are on the throne.
The County of Sapphire Island:
Thieves, robbers and, worst of all, people with no family or roots, who can be deceived like little children. Their garish clothes are as unacceptable as their awful manners. Let them stay at sea, and they’d better not try to put their feet on the mainland, especially on the part that belongs to us.
The Free City of Glassburg:
Dull bean counters. They underestimate the importance of tradition, and they value agreements and contracts above fidelity to family. They want to make money from our forests and mines, so they keep sending various spies to us. But we’d better not underestimate their wisdom. It’d be good to see more of our youth at their University. And they have quite a good sense of fashion.
The County of Riccolante:
Noisy rabble. Garish, motley peacocks, having no respect for others. And giving your own youths away for hire to let them shed blood for money and die in other people’s wars is a true abomination. We’ll never understand them.
Charnoborans value family and blood ties above all else. Although they’re masters of deception and intrigue, deceiving, even in the smallest matter, a member of one’s own family is perceived as true sacrilege. | <urn:uuid:1a0b6590-27e6-439d-80e8-deef59069ade> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://5zywiolow.com/blog/en/the-march-of-charnobor-visitors-from-dark-forests/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.938913 | 1,162 | 1.773438 | 2 |

This tutorial is a visual guide to Basic set up of WinMX.
I will go through most of the buttons and their functions, I will also tell you a few do's and don'ts.
The version of WinMX I am using to demonstrate is 3.54 beta 3, most functions will be the same as v3.53.
As you look through this post please note that there will be a picture then underneath that are the descriptions for that screen.
To start off if you dont have WinMX installed on your machine go to this Page
to get it.WinMX is one of the best quality, safest, and stable Peer 2 Peer Networks that you can use.
At that site you can get their latest release Version 3.53 or you can download Version 3.54 beta.
So, now you have WinMX and you have installed it, so lets start from the start.
You will see several buttons at the top of all of your screens, they are: Networks, Library or (Shared Files), Chat, Search, Hotlist, Transfers, Bandwidth, Ignored, Settings, and Help
. I will go through these one by one.
This is your Networks Screen
, its the first screen you will see each time you start up your WinMX. The important parts of this screen are your 1)Network Identity, 2)Secondary Connection, and 3)Primary Connection
Here you will see a box labeled Connection Status
when it goes to green you are connected and ready to search.
You will also see at the top of the screen information about your downloads, uploads, and whether your status is <Online> or <Connecting>. 1)
Network Identity is your user name you choose. Keep in mind that using "User" and numbers is not recommended. People will also see your name when your downloading from them so its a good idea to not use anything offensive. You can always come back to this screen and change the name by clicking on Change button. 2)
Making a Secondary Connection, connects you through other people on the network that are on a Primary connection. It is the only connection you can make to
WinMX if you are on a dial-up or slower connection the the internet. This is how you will be connected everytime you start WinMX unless you change it manually. 3)
Making a Primary Connection sets you up to allow people with Secondary Connections on the network to be routed through you. This is one of the unique and great features of WinMX. It makes it a decentralized way of getting files with no one server to have to rely on. Its a Network made up of the people for the people.
This is also the screen you can make a connection to the OpenNap Networks. For more info on How to use this feature go to HereOpenNap Instructions
Library or Shared Files:
Here you will see a button to Add Folders, Remove Folders, Refresh, Shared File Types, and Scan For Media
*Note: The shots from the above link are of WinMX v3.53, there are a few slight diferences in the beta versions.
Aside from being called Library
, you also have a choice of whether you want to share folders that are inside folders ie: Sub-Folders, and WinMX v3.54x will also let you choose Shared Files Types for each folder instead of a universal setting.
Everthing else in the above link works the same in both versions. NEVER USE "SCAN FOR MEDIA"
this option shares any and every media file on your computer.
For a visual look at How To Share Files choose your WinMX Version here:Sharing Files on WinMX 3.54Sharing Files on WinMX 3.53/3.31Refresh
is for when you add shared files after WinMX has already scanned your library. By clicking on this it will rescan your shares so they are available for upload.
When you click on the Chat
a warning will come telling you that WinMX is not responsible for the content of any of the Chat rooms and that it is not regulated by them.
You have to choose to continue at that point.
Here I will mention this, there are bad and good people everywhere in the world. WinMX is a true Community and if you dont go into the world of the Chat rooms you are missing out on a lot of goodness, helpful folks, and good friends.
On the above picture you see I have marked some of the important buttons with colored dots. The screen will automatically load a Channel List for you. To put your list in abc order simply click the button above the names that says "Channels"
It will tell you the Channel name, amounts of users in it, and the topic of the room. You can simply go down the list and choose something that interests you.
Then move your mouse over it and click on it. This will highlight it, you can then join the room by either double clicking it with your mouse, by using the right click and choose join or by clicking on Join Selected Channel button. Filter
is a button that allows you to type in key words or a channel name and the results will only display matches to those words.
This feature is nice if your not getting a complete room list (around 1500-2000+ rooms) you can get a channel name from someone, copy it and paste it into the Filter bar
, then Simply click the Join
button. Refresh List
will give you a refreshed list, there are times when rooms may be offline or come online and refreshing should pick up on these.
*Note: If you are on a secondary connection sometimes getting a list can knock you Offline from WinMX v3.53 only. By using the WinMX Community Patch this should solve this, if your not using it already you can get them here:WinMX Community Patch DownloadsFavorites
is a great feature for finding those channels you really like. To Add a channel to your Favorties List simply right click the name in the channel list and choose "Add To Favorites"
. You can also remove channels by clicking on the Favorites button then scroll down to "Remove" and choose which ones. Host
is a feature that allows you to make your own chat room if you are on a primary connection to WinMX.
You simply put in the name you want and click the Host button. Close
will close the Chat window and take you back to the Networks screen.
is where you will go to look for files you want to download. Again I have marked some of the buttons with Red ink and will discuss each one. Artist and / or Title
is where you will type in the name or a key word of a file you are looking for.
The second line is where you can put in a HASH
number if you have it.
For more information on using the Hashes to search for files go Here MP3 Audio - Any Bitrate
can be clicked on to choose the quality (bitrate, the higher the better) of mp3.
This is also a great way to look for different file types that you want to search for. In the drop box you can choose movies, applications, pictures and etc.. Any Connection
allows you to search for sources of the file by connection type or you can choose to only search faster ones like DSL/Cable.
T1 and T3 connection types should be viewed with scrutiny as they are rare and people seem to like to boast.The Blue dots
are important in increasing your sources. Keeping in mind that the more sources (Users) you have, the faster you get the file. Auto Find Sources
should be set to 10min. Click on it and choose "Find Sources every 10 mins". Auto Enter Que
allows you to join a que of at least 100. Click on this and choose 100.
Being in Que means you are in line for the file, so you want to get in line even if there are several in front of you. Search
starts your search with the settings you have chosen. The results will be displayed in the screen below the buttons.
You can choose a file you want to download by double clicking it. As mentioned before its better if you can find one with multiple users. Stop
this button stops finding new search results. Handy if there are alot to look through. Close
will close that particular search. As you can see there is also a Open New Search button, this allows you to search for more than one file at a time. Download
will simply start a download if you have a file highlighted in the search results screen. Manually Resume
is for starting or deciding whether to add to an existing file, or starting a new one. Not used it really so you probably wont need it often.
The color codes that will be shown on the screen
are as follows:
Yellow= indicates a match for one of your incomplete files and you can resume it.
Light Blue= is a matching file of one you are downloading so you can add them for more sources.
Dark Blue= is a file or user you are downloading from already.
The top half of the screen is for showing information about the files you are downloading and the controls for downloads.
The bottom half is for information on your uploads, (files your sharing that are being downloaded by other people). Clear Complete
will remove a completed file from the screen. Load Incomplete
will bring the files that aren't finished to the screen so that you can try to find sources. Purge Users
will clear the users from a selected download. Queuing
allows you to chose a different que entry spot for that file. Options
will open the settings box and take you to "File Tranfers", which I will go over in the Settings Sections Open Incoming Files and Folders
allows you to open the folder you have choosen to put your downloaded files into. Cancel
lets you cancel a download that you have highlighted. It will save the incomplete portion on your screen. Clear
lets you clear a highlighted file from the screen. Retry
will retry that file with the same user. Find Sources Now
will do a search for users that have the exact file, so you can either restart or increase your sources.
In the lower half of the Transfers screen is where your uploads will be managed.
The functions of the buttons is virtually the same as listed above in respect to people getting files from you.
is for putting users on a list that you would like to contact via PM or Private Message
, you can choose a pesons name right click on it and choose chat, send message, ignore, browse, whois, or remove
. Contrary to rumors, this is not a permanent list and when you close WinMX the names are lost.
To add someone to this list just right click their name and choose "Add To Hotlist"
is where you can put users that you dont want to contact you for what ever reason. The people on this list will not be able to download, or send you messages.
This list will stay the next time you start WinMX.
Right Clicking A User Name.
Above are your options if you Right Click
a user in your search screen.
These are the options from a user in your downloads screen.
These are the options from a user in your Hotlist.
All the options are fairly easy to understand. You can browse, send messages, put on ignore, start downloads, and many other options on a specific user by using these menus.That is a Basic overview of the different functions for WinMX.
I hope this helps anyone just starting out on WinMX to have a great experience.

Supplementary MaterialsDocument S1. surface biotinylation results indicated that Orai1 channels in the plasma membrane were put together from intact hexameric polypeptides and not from truncated protein products. In addition, the L273D mutation depressed channel activity equally regardless of which Orai1 subunit in the concatemer carried the mutation. Thus, functional channels were generated from intact Orai1 hexamers in which all subunits contributed equally. These hexameric Orai1 channels displayed the biophysical fingerprint of native CRAC channels, including the distinguishing characteristics of gating (store-dependent activation, Ca2+-dependent inactivation, open probability), permeation (ion selectivity, affinity for Ca2+ block, La3+ sensitivity, unitary current magnitude), and pharmacology (enhancement and inhibition by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate). Because permeation characteristics depend strongly on pore geometry, it is improbable that tetrameric and hexameric skin pores would screen similar Ca2+ affinity, ion selectivity, and unitary current magnitude. Hence, predicated on the extremely equivalent pore properties from the hexameric Orai1 concatemer and indigenous CRAC stations, we conclude the fact that CRAC route functions being a hexamer of Orai1 subunits. Launch Store-operated Ca2+ entrance is certainly a ubiquitous system for Ca2+ signaling and performs a multitude of essential features, including immune system cell activation by antigen (1, 2). The prototypical store-operated route may be the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) route, which is recognized by a couple of biophysical features that includes an exceptionally high Ca2+ selectivity and low unitary conductance, speedy reviews inhibition by intracellular Bibf1120 cell signaling Ca2+, and an inwardly rectifying current-voltage romantic relationship (2). Much improvement has been manufactured in elucidating the system of CRAC route activation because the breakthrough of its two important elements, the ER Ca2+ sensor STIM1 as well as the plasma membrane pore-forming subunit Orai1 Bibf1120 cell signaling (2, 3). Depletion of Ca2+ in the ER sets off STIM1 oligomerization and deposition at ER-plasma membrane junctions where it straight binds to and gates Orai1 (2). Nevertheless, despite our knowledge of the overall system from the store-operated Ca2+ entrance as well as the molecular domains of STIM1 and Orai1 that underlie activation, a few of the most fundamental issues remain realized or controversial poorly. These include the amount of Orai1 subunits that assemble to create the CRAC route (4). Many lines of proof support a tetrameric CRAC route stoichiometry. Tetrameric DNA concatemers of individual Orai1 (hOrai1) subunits generate currents with inward rectification and an optimistic reversal potential comparable to those of endogenous CRAC stations or of stations generated from Bibf1120 cell signaling monomeric hOrai1 DNA (5, 6, 7, 8). Furthermore, stations created from tetrameric concatemers neglect to match Orai1 monomers, as inferred from too little current inhibition by prominent harmful monomeric Orai1 (E106Q) (6), as well as the lack of fluorescence resonance energy transfer between tagged Orai1 proteins tetramers and monomers (5). Fluorescence lighting analysis of tagged hOrai1 (9) aswell as single-particle photobleaching research are also in keeping with a tetrameric stoichiometry. One channels created from GFP-tagged hOrai1 or Orai (dOrai) subunits bleach within a stepwise Rabbit Polyclonal to AKAP2 way, with stations set up from Orai monomers bleaching mainly in 3C4 guidelines, while tandem dimers or trimers bleach in two actions, and tandem tetramers in a single step (5, 10, 11). Evidence also supports the presence of hOrai1 and dOrai dimers in the plasma membrane, which have been proposed to oligomerize into tetramers upon STIM binding (10, 11, 12), although this conclusion is usually somewhat controversial (4, 9). On balance, the evidence from electrophysiological and photobleaching studies favors a tetrameric stoichiometry for the active CRAC channel. The argument for any tetrameric CRAC channel stoichiometry was subsequently challenged by the dOrai crystal structure, which depicts the channel as a hexamer of dOrai subunits (13).

As states continue to look at ways to efficiently repair roads, Indiana is testing a new product in an urban environment.
By Matt Werner
Every commuter has experienced it at some point. Cruising along an interstate when you come to a grinding halt as crews are patching pavement. Suddenly the expressway becomes a stress-way.
Precast concrete paving slabs were developed to alleviate those stressful daytime lane closures, and several states have started using the product to ease traffic jams on the interstate. While some states have been using the paving slabs for years, others are just now getting into the game and have been pleased with the results thus far.
Test project in Indiana
Indiana prides itself on being called the “Crossroads of America” with four major interstates spanning the state. Like other states, Indiana has been dealing with deteriorating roads and bridges, but recently invested heavily into its infrastructure.
As more projects are coming online, the Indiana Department of Transportation is looking at ways to improve the process and is testing precast paving slabs in both interstate and urban settings.
As INDOT was looking at possible projects, U.S. 40 in Richmond rose to the top of the list. For starters, it’s a 100-year-old section of the historic National Road US Route 40 that never had a major reconstruction project. It was also a project INDOT had been talking about for nearly 20 years.
“We’re on the low-risk side of the scale,” said Robert Gill, project engineer with INDOT. “We don’t want the first panel we place to be on Interstate 70 and it not work out. Nobody likes that idea.”
Half the road was going to be shut down as part of the project anyway, so it made sense for INDOT to try paving slabs.
“If a panel shows up and there’s something wrong with installation, construction or anything, we were already taking the lane so it doesn’t cost us long term,” Gill said. “If something doesn’t go quite right, we have time to adjust. It’s an experiment; so let’s experiment with it.”
Choosing the project
It’s easy to say paving slabs are the perfect remedy for interstate projects, but what do you do when you’ve got a project in an urban setting with utilities underground?
Sure, crews can cut into the slabs to get the work done, but that can be an intensive process. Enter removable urban paving (RUP) slabs that are designed to allow utility companies to easily remove slabs, access their lines and reinstall the same slab back in its original location.
Dan Moellman, P.E., senior product engineer with Fort Miller, said the RUP slab is new, with the project in Richmond being its second use. Moellman’s team did a presentation for INDOT and other interested parties prior to the project.
“There were a lot of skeptics in the room,” he joked. “People wondered if it would be completed in the required time frame. Nobody in Indiana had done this before, and they need an entrepreneurial vision to tackle this new technology.”
Gill noted that several parties had to buy into the project for it to be a success.
“The precast industry has to say, ‘Yes, we want to be involved with this project,’” he said. “The contractors have to build up their installation expertise; the utilities have to be on board. It’s not like I can just say, ‘Well, we know what we’re doing, go to it.’
“There’s more to it than that, and so far we’ve had that response.”
Moellman was hoping for just a few intersections since it was going to be a test project. Instead, INDOT decided to do six-tenths of a mile of U.S. 40 through the heart of Richmond.
“We were thinking it was just a starter project,” he said. “Everything was coming together, and I kept wondering if it was actually going to happen because it was such a huge project. They wanted to do a showcase project, and that really kicked it off and got things going.”
Joys of urban construction
What makes the RUP slabs good for urban projects is that instead of having to cut into the slab, crews can saw on the joint lines and pull the slab out of the ground thanks to Fort Miller’s Super-Dowel, developed and patented by Peter Smith, Fort Miller’s vice president of market development and product engineering. Smith is also the developer and patent holder for the Super-Slab system.
“When you saw through the joints, the Super-Dowel pipe dowels are cut in half,” Moellman said. “ You can drill out and access the four coil lifting inserts and remove the slab. Each Super-Dowel has an internal nut welded to each end. With the slab removed, engage the nut in the half-dowel remaining in the pavement with a threaded rod and remove the half-dowel. Clean the hole and epoxy in a new Super-Dowel. Remove grout from bottom slots and grout ports on the removed panel. Regrade bedding material, reinstall the slab and grout in place to re-establish load transfer. Typically, on continuous slab installations, you cast dowels into one slab and have them meet with the bottom slots on the next slab. That works fine if you don’t have to remove them.”
Gill is quick to note how problems with underground utilities are far too common with urban construction projects.
“For this one, there was a 100-year-old bank of phone lines that would have taken a year to move to the elevation the project would have required had we used a traditional paving job,” he said. “So by using these slabs, it saves us a year in waiting.”
Even though the panels are removable, many of the utilities in the area moved their lines outside the pavement area to minimize future work. Gill likes that INDOT is getting experience in removing the paving slabs, but this project is also allowing utility companies to gain experience as well.
Fort Miller contracted the job to Norwalk, Ohio-based Norwalk Concrete Industries to produce more than 1,100 panels that were needed for the project.
NCI President John Lendrum said they had never produced paving slabs before, but they were eager to learn about it.
“This project was a good opportunity for us to get into production of paving slabs and learn what it takes to make slabs on a large-scale basis,” he said. “So we really looked at this as an opportunity for us to learn.”
Since NCI typically produces utility vaults, this project created some additional challenges for its team. For instance, the tolerances were much tighter than they were accustomed to, and the design of the slabs were unique with some being trapezoidal and having cutouts for manholes or other existing utilities.
“It was good to set up a project with some experienced production leaders and quality control people,” Lendrum noted. “We trained with Fort Miller, and they helped us set up for production so that certainly helped, and it worked out well for us.”
The sheer number of slabs created a logistical problem for the NCI team as well.
“Just the logistics of how you move fresh slabs and don’t damage them, storing them to prevent them from being damaged,” Lendrum said. “When you’ve got 1,100 slabs, you have to have proper documentation of what you’re doing, how you store them. All those things are very important.”
In addition to ensuring a proper mix and reorganizing the production area for maximum efficiency, NCI had another thing to factor – the cold weather. The majority of the slabs were cast during the harsh winter months so blanketing and proper curing of curing the slabs was equally important.
“We did our training on the front end well,” Lendrum added. “We finished the project with a remarkably low number of errors and problems.”
Since there was so much engineering and training on the front end, the installation has gone extremely smooth. At the start of the project, crews estimated installing around 40 panels per day, but on their best days, they can get close to 50.
Gill noted the biggest challenge is scheduling the installation around other activities like ensuring not too many streets are closed at one time since the project is near a fire station.
“The panels have gone in as well as we could have hoped,” he said. “We feel like it’s as good as we can expect if not better than we expect.”
By all accounts, the project has been a success for all parties.
In addition to saving the public on travel time, Gill noted the quality control and durability of precast slabs is greater than most concrete patching jobs which use an accelerated-curing concrete, that can deteriorate quicker.
“With panels, those are made a week ago, a month ago, so you don’t need to use accelerated concrete,” he said. “We don’t have to worry about set time because it cured ages ago. What that allows is that we can come out on a Monday night, take our lane, cut our hole, place the panel, grout it up, and we’re good to go.
“You never have a daytime restriction.”
Lendrum liked getting into precast paving slabs and hopes to add them to his company’s product line, but the project was also beneficial for his younger employees.
“The most immediate return is focusing our production people on accuracy and productivity,” he said. “That’s something we can readily transfer to the other products we’re making. We see some gains in that regard because of all the training we did.
“It’s a great way to take some young people, get them promoted and move them up in our plant.”
INDOT is looking at a few other test projects, and Gill has enjoyed talking shop with a lot of visitors – a benefit he really didn’t see coming.
“The whole point of this project is experimental engineering so we’re not talking about budgets or politics or anything like that, we’re talking engineering,” he said. “And that’s been really nice. It’s been a pretty rewarding project so far.
“It’s not every day you get to do an urban reconstruction project on a 100-year-old road.”

TSCA - Inventory
Section 8 (b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires the EPA to compile a list of chemical substance, including imports, that are manufactured or processed in the United States.
EPA uses the data to help assess the potential human health and environmental effects of these chemicals.
The "TSCA Inventory" plays a central role in the regulation of most industrial chemicals in the United States.
A manufacturer must determine if a chemical is listed on the TSCA Inventory list before beginning to produce a chemical.
Users of chemicals should assure that the chemicals are on the TSCA Inventory before importing chemicals. TSCA Section 5 requires anyone who plans
to produce, or import, a chemical not on the list to provide the EPA with a Pre-Manufacture Notice (PMN) at least 90 days before beginning production.
According to the EPA, a Pre-Manufacture Notice requires:
1) Chemical Identity
2) Production Volume
5) Environmental Release
6) Disposal Practices
7) Human Exposure
8) Existing Available Test Data

The Pyrenees are experiencing various socio-demographic trends in the mountains, including an ageing population, an exodus of young people and an increase in the number of unaccompanied minors. By offering training in traditional mountain sectors, the AVENIR project aims to provide these young people with a future and encourage them to contribute to local revitalisation.
Thanks to the AVENIR project, 15 young people under the protection of the child welfare system were trained to work in the mountains and received support for their socio-professional integration in the Pyrenees. Their received training in, among other sectors, high-altitude catering, maintenance and management of ski lifts, pastoralism, hospitality in tourist facilities and outdoor sports. Since the end of the project in May 2022, 8 of them found a job and the others are still in training. The majority of the young people decided to stay in the Pyrenees.

FORT DRUM, N.Y. (Sept. 27, 2018) -- Thousands of North Country community members have visited the LeRay Mansion Historic District at Fort Drum, and in recent years, it has become a popular stop on the history tours.
Now it’s getting an upgrade to the landscape, and the public can volunteer to assist Cultural and Natural Resources staff from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 13.
Fort Drum is the recipient of a National Public Lands Day Department of Defense Award, submitted by the Cultural Resources and Natural Resources branches of Public Works, to fund a beautification project on post.
To be eligible for the grant, the installation had to propose a project that engages a variety of community members with a positive volunteer experience that will improve, enhance or restore natural and/or cultural resources on post.
Heather Wagner, Cultural Resources outreach and education coordinator, said that applicants were encouraged to create a project that will impact resources related to, and in celebration of, the 100th anniversary of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
To meet that criteria, they proposed a “Beautify LeRay Day” with the goal of transforming the landscape outside LeRay Mansion with all-season flower gardens and a mini-apple orchard that will attract, shelter and nourish migratory and resident bird populations.
Staff members and volunteers will plant seeds, bulbs and trees, and assist with maintenance of the walking trails. Bird feeders will dot the landscape to ensure bird populations continue to have food and shelter during the winter months.
“There’s something about planting a garden and allowing the public to join in that makes everyone feel like stakeholders in the district, and that’s what we try to do on the historical tours,” Wagner said. “It’s one thing to have four people from the Cultural Resources branch care about this history, but it’s much more powerful when we invite hundreds of community members here and now they care because we have shared this history with them and this is shared community space.”
Wagner said that volunteers of all ages and capabilities are welcome and that all materials will be provided on site.
“We have tools and garden spaces that can accommodate almost any accessibility issue that someone might have,” Wagner said. “I have a 145-foot-long wildflower garden that is perfect for children to plant bulbs and spread seeds. We wanted to make this as fun and accommodating as possible.”
Wagner said that the restoration of the gardens and walking trails is symbolic of what James LeRay de Chaumont intended when the mansion was built in 1826.
“History books remember his flowers, even when the LeRay family was no longer here,” she said. “In his time, it was said there were over 200 statues in his formal gardens and huge rose gardens.”
In a sense, “Beautify LeRay Day” allows people to create some history of their own as the gardens become an indelible part of the district for years to come.
“I have always liked the Chinese proverb that says a wise man plants a tree whose shade he never sits in,” she said. “We’re going to plant 18 trees that I’ll never see an apple on during my career here. But wouldn’t it be awesome if some families at ‘Beautify LeRay Day’ come back to see the flowers in full bloom, or years from now to see the size of a tree they helped plant?”
Wagner also said it is the perfect time of year for visitors to see the fall foliage at LeRay Historic Mansion District.
“We are going to be planting flowers we won’t see bloomed until next year, but fall in the LeRay District is spectacular to see,” she said. “There is actually the most diverse group of trees in this little district than anywhere else on the installation. We have almost every tree you can find in the Fort Drum area right here. We should be full-on reds and golds for ‘Beautify LeRay Day.’”
“Beautify LeRay Day” will kick off with a short ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Oct. 13 to introduce the community to the new conservation park and Natural Resources and Cultural Center.
The Cultural Resources staff has relocated their offices to the LeRay Mansion Historic District so they can promote more public events. The Natural Resources branch also will have a greater presence, as the caretaker’s cottage will be used as an education center for environmental and natural history information.
“We are going to be using the entire district now as an outdoor education space for nature walks, history tours and other events,” said Dr. Laurie Rush, Cultural Resources manager.
Rush said that people will be able to use the conference rooms at LeRay Mansion for meetings, socials and other gatherings on request by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org. Rush said that Soldiers are already becoming aware of the potential of unit training at a historic structure.
“This is a great community asset, and there are endless possibilities,” Rush said.
Those who are interested in volunteering can register at email@example.com, no later than Oct. 5, or call (315) 772-5463 for more information. | <urn:uuid:010592e6-d9fe-422f-8cc0-17d3221071e7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://home.army.mil/drum/index.php/about/news/news-archives/beautification-project | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.95396 | 1,277 | 1.921875 | 2 |
Why Are There So Many Zero-Day Security Holes? It is because cybercriminals use zero-day vulnerabilities to break into computers and networks. Zero-day exploits seem to be on the rise, but is that really the case? And can you defend yourself? This article seriously looks at the details.
What is Zero-Day Vulnerabilities
A zero-day vulnerability is a bug in a piece of software. Of course, all complicated software has bugs, so why should a zero-day be given a special name? A zero-day bug is one that has been discovered by cybercriminals but the authors and users of the software don’t yet know about it. And, crucially, a zero-day is a bug that gives rise to an exploitable vulnerability.
These factors combine to make a zero-day a dangerous weapon in the hands of cybercriminals. They know about a vulnerability that no one else knows about. This means they can exploit that vulnerability unchallenged, compromising any computers that run that software. And because no one else knows about the zero-day, there will be no fixes or patches for the vulnerable software.
So, for the short period between the first exploits taking place—and being detected—and the software publishers responding with fixes, the cybercriminals can exploit that vulnerability unchecked. Something overt like a ransomware attack is unmissable, but if the compromise is one of covert surveillance it might be a very long time before the zero-day is discovered. The infamous SolarWinds attack is a prime example.
Zero-Days Have Found Their Moment
Zero-days aren’t new. But what is particularly alarming is the significant increase in the number of zero-days being discovered. More than double have been found in 2021 than in 2020. The final numbers are still being collated for 2021—we’ve still got a few months to go, after all—-but indications are that around 60 to 70 zero-day vulnerabilities will have been detected by the year-end.
Zero-days have a value to the cybercriminals as a means of unauthorized entry to computers and networks. They can monetize them by executing ransomware attacks and extorting money from the victims.
But zero-days themselves have a value. They are saleable commodities and can be worth huge sums of money to those who discover them. The black market value of the right kind of zero-day exploit can easily reach many hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some examples have exceeded $1 million. Zero-day brokers will buy and sell zero-day exploits
Zero-day vulnerabilities are very difficult to discover. At one time they were only found and used by well resourced and highly-skilled teams of hackers, such as state-sponsored advanced persistent threat (APT) groups. The creation of many of the zero-days weaponized in the past has been attributed to APTs in Russia and China.
Of course, with enough knowledge and dedication, any sufficiently accomplished hacker or programmer can find zero-days. White hat hackers are among the good buys who try to find them before the cybercriminals. They deliver their findings to the relevant software house, who will work with the security researcher who found the issue to close it off.
New security patches are created, tested, and made available. They’re rolled out as security updates. The zero-day is only announced once all the remediation is in place. By the time it becomes public, the fix is already out in the wild. The zero-day has been nullified.
Zero days are sometimes used in products. The NSO Group’s controversial spy-ware product Pegasus is used by governments to fight terrorism and maintain national security. It can install itself on mobile devices with little or no interaction from the user. A scandal broke in 2018 when Pegasus was reportedly used by several authoritative states to conduct surveillance against its own citizens. Dissidents, activists, and journalists were being targeted.

Where Are Women’s Ethical Rights to Equality? Essay
Girls earn seventy seven percent of what males earn for the same job (Edmonds, 2014).
That equals about. 77 mere cents of every dollar that a guy earns. All of us as ladies are burning off 23 mere cents just because our company is women. I use chosen to write about women’s equality using the utilitarian and deontology ethical theories. The world today is a much different world to reside for women, however it is much the same in other countries as it has been for centuries.
Even if they have so many different obstacles to overcome, female still discover a way to dominate. Woman even now get the short end from the stick the majority of days with lower income than men, inadequate training for careers, losing all their jobs as a result of family commitments and in a few instances not even a choice for the size of their loved ones. There are so many underhanded practices used in some woman’s lives. If the woman should be to say she was raped, the questions the specialists may question do not usually support the woman’s promises. The regulators will problem her, they may ask her questions depending on the type of lifestyle she potential clients, the type of clothing she wears or what kind of job she gets.
This is not a good example of the functional theory however the complete opposite, the authorities must not judge the woman by any of these things, rather they should be considering the person that committed the crime that help catch this person so that other folks are safe. They will reply to the cry of rape with what I believe as the emotivism honest perspective. It’s a moral issue, in the event that this female that was raped is actually a stripper that wears disclosing clothing a lot of might state she was asking for the action of rape. Yet , if a woman that is dressed up in a fit and functions in a top end job, the first impression from the rape victim is completely different.
In most uncivilized countries rasurado is a all-natural thing that happens daily. Within a war zone, the opposing part will afeitado women and kids for fun and spite (Edmond, 2014). Should you be married marriage rape can be excused, a common practice typically because women in these countries will be trapped in loveless, damaging relationships, as a result of poverty, in which the man forces his partner who despises him to copulate.
Consist of places, rape is only considered rape if you have several guy witnesses. The inequality that society models upon ladies is desastroso in many identical situations. Publisher, Molly Edmonds writes regarding women in several countries in her document Gender and Sexuality (2014).
She states that in Saudi Arabia, women cannot even leave their homes with out a man’s permission, drive a vehicle or a cycle on open public roads or maybe give beginning in a medical center environment. Every because they are women and the world could see them without their very own veils and other men could see all their exposed pores and skin. In China and India, through tests parents can make to abort a girl kid or killing it following she is born if a test came back pending or the relatives could not have test completed, all since males are believed more useful. It is so prevalent that world has a identity for this shed fetuses and infants known as “missing woman”.
In Republic of chile and Lesotho, women cannot own area without a man family members term on the action. It has to be a father, close friend or hubby. If that male relative dies or leaves the land is lost to the woman and she is regarded as homeless.
This inequality has resulted in a term Feminization of Poverty, each time a woman is usually left without any land, payments or any technique of getting a financial loan to help her family make it through. Eventually over and her family need to sell or move apart after they cannot keep points afloat. Generally in most everyday living circumstances that People in the usa are used to things are not this kind of tough for ladies, however , it truly is different for woman than men even in our civilized nation.
Woman have a powerful sense of duty. Whether it be to friends and family, friends or jobs, many women have to and/or expected to look after things. A high level00 mother and/or a partner, you have many daily tasks to take care of the whole day. It generally has no bearing on her tasks if this woman is a working mommy or a work mom.
It is normally a great expected set of things to always be completed. This can be an example of the deontology theory. The expectation of work and obligation to her relatives. In return the girl receives or perhaps should receive esteem and substantial dignity in herself and from others. Being a wife and mother you feel accountable for all your child’s keeping plus your own property keeping.
I think that this is actually a utilitarian theory example. We all do the great for all of those around us, regardless if it is not the best for ourself. Edmond as well states that girls are the most of children that miss or perhaps quit university. Fathers of those girls still find it their obligation to help away with home chores, help with younger littermates, and even operate the areas instead of a young man because the boy receiving an education is more important.
Sometimes the father’s is going to marry away their daughters to improve his family’s situation, so subsequently the child would not become attending college any longer. Finally the family may only can pay for to send one particular child to school and it might always be the boy in the event there was boys in the family members. Although women’s equality is very important here in the us, women certainly not men are expected to take care of youngsters no matter what. In accordance to Paulette Light, co-founder of MomStamp (2013), 43 percent of woman who also are highly educated and skilled for amazing careers leave there jobs to raise kids.
Where would be the men from this responsibility? In accordance to several content articles I have read through research lots of men do not go through the obligation by and kids is their very own obligation. Most of them leave the mother with their children causing a high lower income level in woman because they are woman.
Stated in an article by Barbara and Shannon Kelley (2011), homes that are led by solitary woman or separated girls have a poverty charge of 31. 6 percent, compared to a household led by a single or perhaps separated man having a poverty level of 15. 8 percent. The United States federal government needs to follow the ethical theory of utilitarianism and look in to equality amongst men and women.
They need to look into just how this can advantage everyone and make that about the folks. I realize this can be a long fight that continues to draw interest from almost all reporters and government representatives, this matter is all on the internet in articles and figure findings. Woman should not be in such poverty just because they are woman. The controversy that is caused by persons saying that woman make less than men is stated as being a bogus theory.
According to a article inside the U. T News simply by Christina Hoff Sommers, (2014), the director in his Union address explained that female make “77 cents much less for every money a man earns”. Ms. Sommers states this is phony and “discredited factoid”.
In her document she says it is in fact way less of a income gap at only approximately a 5 penny gap between what guys make and what females make. So why should this be a matter to go over, why should female have virtually any different sum of salary than a gentleman? Another honest perspective is relativism with the inequality of woman’s salary to men’s wages personal value should come into play.
A woman and a man must be paid for all their job based on what the work is. They have to also be paid based on their education, encounter and period on the job. Gender should not be an issue. If you are a cashier at a grocery store that job must have a base shell out, for that work, the same if you are an executive secretary or a ceo of a big company.
The position should have basics pay as well as your experience should be what you happen to be paid for, not your male or female. Woman’s equal rights is a around and special topic to each woman. We need to continue the fight which was ongoing for many years. We need to end the five-hundred, 000 deaths a year that happen mainly because women are generally not allowed to leave their homes for giving birth (Edmonds, 2014).
We need to drive more women in politics, woman only constitute 15. 6th percent of parliamentary seating (Edmonds, 2014). Most importantly, we must make world see that were just as important towards the world in which we live as guys are. We are able to have family members that are well taken care of and offer them at the same time.
Women should keep bringing up awareness within their work environment in order to be parents and operating women. Generally there should not need to be a choice whether we certainly be a good mother or a good worker we could do equally. Also, you should be asking our spouses for much more help, for what reason can’t that they stay home while using children if they are sick? An excessive amount of responsibility is usually befallen on women and we all hear non-e of the understanding that we should certainly hear. Concerns need to be asked to our current politicians about why were not paid the same as males, what makes them so much more suitable than female?
If we would be to get a girl somewhere in a higher seats of politics would the pay scale alter? On a severe topic, for what reason have the correct authorities researched the killers of these poor innocent infants in China and tiawan and India? United Nations claim that over two hundred million girls are absent from the globe because of what they call gendercide (Hatten, 2012). Who has the say through this atrocity of the law that girl babies can be killed?
Thrown in trash cans, stuffed in pillow cases and included rivers. Hatten states a woman in India slain eight of her infants all since they were women. Eight babies!
If someone in the United States did that they would maintain jail decaying, but this lady is usually free to roam, have more babies and liberated to make the choice that their lifestyle should end if the girl deems in shape. Seems like they will just have an easier adoption prepare in place to remove them if they did not need them. There are plenty of people all over the world that would appreciate a baby. In my research Over the internet one good thing in China to aid these children and it is the “baby hatch” program.
This program is where families can easily leave their particular sick kid if they can afford medical bills or any type of other kid that they simply cannot keep, due to another plan in Cina where family members can only have one child. Most of the children remaining are severely sick, incapable or ladies. This gives hope to Chinese suppliers to have a location to bring your son or daughter if you have no other way. There are 576, 000 orphans in the Chinese welfare system.
We would not have the liberties that we have in case the wonderful women before us had not solid a way for us to find out, grow and continue to deal with through. Being a mom, partner, working woman or be home more mom could be a joy, we ought to be proud and love the things we do. It should not be expected or perhaps feel like a duty. Unfortunately, world has made this the norm within our lives. For a long time we have been fighting for our equal legal rights and I assume that we will be preventing for years to come.
It really is sad we will be continuing to make equality for the remainder of our lives and leaving operate to nevertheless be completed pertaining to our daughters and probably granddaughters as well. In my opinion our country would benefit considerably if we were to have women president. I believe that a girl president might help ladies in all walks of life, in all towns and in most levels of lower income or well off circumstances have more the same rights to men. I really hope that during my lifetime I will be able to find more severe position of equal rights with females it would be an excellent joy in my experience to make sure my personal daughters are allowed more in their lives without having to combat too hard to get there.

Constipation is when stool is hard and difficult to pass. Our diet and lifestyle are mainly to blame for constipation. Read the article to know about ways to treat and prevent this condition.
Owing to our hectic schedule and changing lifestyle, the diet of the modern generation has changed a lot from traditional home-cooked food to fast and convenient foods. Sadly, these convenience and ready-to-eat foods are deficient in fiber because of which many individuals nowadays are suffering from constipation. Even drinking less amount of water and depending solely on aerated drinks is also another cause for developing constipation. In this article, I would discuss various kinds of remedies that will help prevent and treat constipation.
The following are certain tips to prevent as well as treat constipation:
To prevent and treat constipation, it is essential to drink at least 8 to 12 glasses of water on a regular basis to keep yourself well hydrated. You can even make your water flavourful and colorful by adding antioxidants, such as mint leaves. A tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds added to it would further add fiber to your daily consumption and prevent constipation. Avoid consumption of aerated drinks, as it will not help quench your drink, and it will put your body into the dehydration mode, leading to constipation. Instead of that, one can consume fresh fruit or vegetable juices without adding sugar.
One must include a lot of fiber in the diet to prevent and treat constipation. Fiber is available in fresh fruits and vegetables. Consume at least about 1 to 2 fruits daily, which are seasonally available. Fruits and vegetables also contain bioactive compounds that act as essential antioxidants, thus protecting one's body from free radical stress and oxidative stress. Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of natural water and fiber, which helps to eradicate constipation. Chia seeds and flaxseeds are also rich sources of fiber. You can sprinkle them on top of your fruit or vegetable salad or even consume them on an empty stomach along with lukewarm water to cleanse your system. Flaxseeds can be consumed one hour before or after your main meals along with lukewarm water. This helps to prevent and treat constipation in an individual. You can even add an additional one tablespoon of powdered flaxseed or wheat bran to your bread. Include salads or soups and vegetables along with your main meals, as it will add a lot of fiber to your diet. Green leafy vegetable soup or juice contains a good amount of insoluble fiber to facilitate adequate colon muscle movements. According to many research studies, bananas, which are filled with many essential nutrients, has proven to be a good laxative. It facilitates good bowel movement.
Whole grain cereals and pulses are rich in fiber as compared to polished cereals. Hence, always prefer consuming brown rice or red rice instead of polished white rice. Quinoa is another such cereal that is rich in protein and fiber that is known to show weight-loss results in individuals because of its high fiber content, as well as it helps to prevent and treat constipation in an individual. Avoid the consumption of processed foods and ready-to-eat foods. They contain harmful preservatives and artificial flavoring, which are harmful to one's health, especially one's gut health. Avoid consuming high fatty foods and high sugary foods, which may elevate the occurrence of constipation because high fatty foods like red meat lack fiber. Thus, include a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Pizzas and burgers also lack an adequate amount of fiber, so restrict consuming them.
Exercising daily has proven to be beneficial for physical and mental health, but it has also been known to facilitate good bowel movement, thus eradicating constipation-like symptoms in an individual. Include a list of aerobic as well as anaerobic exercises in your daily routine, which will also help your body release endorphins, which are feel-good hormones, thus making you feel more positive about yourself. You can include a variety of exercises in your daily schedule like dance, calisthenics, skipping, Zumba, cardio, yoga, aerobics, and various strength training exercises to be fit. Often, sitting in front of the television for a long period of time with very little movement by an individual has shown to increase the risk of constipation. Hence, it is essential to exercise on a regular basis and avoid watching the television for long hours.
Including adequate amounts of probiotics in your diet like curd or buttermilk helps to facilitate good gut bacteria and eradicates the harmful bacteria, which is present inside your gut, thus facilitating healthy bowel movements and preventing constipation in an individual. Chia seeds or flaxseeds sprinkled on cut fruits dipped in curd can be consumed by an individual.
Extreme starvation is harmful to your health and can be fatal if carried out for a long time. It can also lead to constipation in an individual, as the colon muscle movements get too slow. Thus, always consume a balanced diet filled with nutrients to stay healthy and happy. If you think that you will lose weight quickly within a short span of time by starving, you are wrong. You are just depriving your body of essential nutrients required by you. There are no short-cuts for weight-loss. Remember that good things take time and even Rome was not built in a day!
Often due to busy meetings or due to some work or the other, we tend to ignore the urge of our body to visit the washroom on time leading to constipation-like symptoms later. Hence, it is always essential to listen to your nature's call on time.
According to many research studies, stress has seen affect regular bowel movements, thus leading to constipation. Hence, always be calm, positive, and relaxed. Stress and unhealthy eating from outside have also proved to delay the regular menstrual cycle in females, leading to various lifestyle-related disorders like polycystic ovarian disorder (PCOD). Hence, along with good physical health, it is also essential to take care of one's mental health.
I hope that these tips seemed to be helpful to you to prevent and treat constipation.

Building Human-Machine Trust via Interpretability
Developing human-machine trust is a prerequisite for adoption of machine learning systems in decision critical settings (e.g healthcare and governance). Users develop appropriate trust in these systems when they understand how the systems make their decisions. Interpretability not only helps users understand what a system learns but also helps users contest that system to align with their intuition. We propose an algorithm, AVA: Aggregate Valuation of Antecedents, that generates a consensus feature attribution, retrieving local explanations and capturing global patterns learned by a model. Our empirical results show that AVA rivals current benchmarks. | <urn:uuid:1592cb73-b74a-45d6-9949-bec608378b57> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/5096 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.890561 | 154 | 1.859375 | 2 |
The Dev to Prod Process
Initially in part one we set up the process with Visual Studio 2019 and Devops and moved all our objects across to Production. Then with Data Factory we moved data from the production data lake into Production Azure SQL DB
We have all the Source data in a data lake (and its been assured that the Production data lake is the same as the Development data Lake)
We have a Data Factory in Production that goes through a DevOps release pipeline so we should now be able to use the Production Data Factory to Load all the Production Data into the Production SQL database on a regular basis.
What happens when you already have Objects and data in Target?
Only the changes will be released. So the next time you release into production you are releasing the delta
Lets see this in action
- The Initial SQL database was released into Production with Visual Studio
- A Production Data Factory moved all the data into the new Objects
- Now we have an updated Dev SQL Database.
Open your visual Studio Project
Open the project that was created in the last session.
In SQL Server Object Explorer
You have the Azure Server and Database. Right click and Refresh
And you have the Local Project DB which contains all the Objects. We can Check the Schema differences between the project DB and the latest DB within Azure
Go to the dev SQL Database (Click on the icon to the left of the server to open it up)
on the Azure SQL Database. Right click and Choose Schema Compare
For Select Target , select Select Target
Open the Local DB Project. The Database in this case is the same name as your Solution in Solution Explorer. (Now I know I should have given my solution the project name and my Project an extension of _DB to differentiate the two)
Now you get to see what has been deleted. in this case a table and a Procedure has been dropped
Next we can see changes. If the Table Change is clicked on, you get more information about that change in the object definitions. In this case a test column has been added.
This creates a quandary when it comes to loading in the data because this table should be fully populated but the new column will be blank. Is it possible to do a full load for these updated tables with Data Factory, OR do we need to look at something more complex?
And finally additions. In this case there are lots of new Tables procedures and two new functions.
Once happy Click Update and your changes will be published into Solution Explorer
To Check, have a look for some of the new tables, SPs etc in Solution Explorer
Once completed you can click the x icon to close the comparison window and you can save your Comparison information
Rebuild the Project in Visual Studio
Now we want to Rebuild our Project within Solution Explorer
Right click on the Project in Solution Explorer and choose Rebuild. this rebuilds all the files.
- Rebuild rebuild your entire project
- Build just rebuilds on the changes
Process your Changes with GIT
Now its in your project you need to process those changes with GIT
in Git changes. Commit all and Push
And remember to add a message
These objects should now be in Devops. You can go to Devops Repos. then to your database specific project and check for new tables, SPs etc
My new junk dimension object are there so this is all working.
Release the new database objects into Production database
now all the code is in the repos we can push the new and updated objects into production with a DevOps Release Pipeline.
There is already data in my production database. As as initial starting point I do a quick check on a few tables to get a feel of the data.
This SQL Script allows you to do a quick check on row counts in the production database
QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(sOBJ.schema_id)) + '.' + QUOTENAME(sOBJ.name) AS [TableName]
, SUM(sPTN.Rows) AS [RowCount]
sys.objects AS sOBJ
INNER JOIN sys.partitions AS sPTN
ON sOBJ.object_id = sPTN.object_id
sOBJ.type = 'U'
AND sOBJ.is_ms_shipped = 0x0
AND index_id < 2 -- 0:Heap, 1:Clustered
ORDER BY [TableName]
Choose the database repository (You should also have a repository for data factory)
Go to Pipelines. Before releasing to Prod we actually have to build all our code into an artifact for the release pipeline
Click on your Project _DBComponentsCI pipeline (Continuous integration) set up in Part 1
Lets remind ourselves of this pipeline by clicking Edit
We build the solution file from the Repos in devops. Then Copy files to the staging directory. Finally publish the artifact ready for release.
Come out of Edit and this time choose Run Pipeline
Once its run, there are warnings again but for the time being I’m going to ignore these
Otherwise the build pipeline runs successfully.
Now we have rebuilt the artifact using the build pipeline, go to pipelines, Releases and to your DB_CD release (continuous delivery)
We have a successful release. I can run the above SQL and check for differences. for a start, there were 39 objects and now there are 43 so you can immediately see that our production database has been updated.
The row count shows that we haven’t lost any data. We have simply updated the objects.
Part three will allow us to look more in-depth at the data side.

Lighting your garden and the exterior spaces around your house is a dream for many people. It’s not easy to do well unless you have a clear canvas or are starting again with a major renovation. Hard landscaping is unforgiving of mistakes; if you’ve forgotten to put in a cable or have put a cable in the wrong place, it’s a tricky and expensive issue to fix.
With all that said, garden lighting or simply lighting the space around your house is incredibly powerful when done right. We work on many garden lighting projects, frequently as part of a new build and increasingly as standalone pieces of work.
External lighting in Dark Skies areas or similarly sensitive environments calls for a slightly different approach. We can light an urban garden in a different way that we might light a garden in an isolated rural setting. There may be things we simply won’t do in a rural location. However, we apply the same thinking to all our garden lighting projects. Light only what you want to light, when you want to light it and with the appropriate amount of light.
Light your focal points
Think about what your focal points are; if you light it you will look at it. If you don’t have natural focal points, consider creating then. Think about the space as a whole with those features you’d like to look at and how you use light to connect one space with the next.
As an example, you might want to uplight some feature trees, but if these are a long way apart from each other them make sure that there is some connecting light at low level between them. That might be through using spike spots in the planting or a discrete wash across a path. You want to avoid spotty ‘islands’ of light with big seas of dark between them. A little light goes a long way at night so this is an area where less really can be more.
Think about the cabling infrastructure well in advance
It’s common for garden lighting projects to be considered separately from lighting inside the house. That’s often simply a function of a building project’s timings or it might be that the garden design is a new piece of work. Even in a phased project it’s important to try to plan and make allowance for possible future lighting needs. It might be that you make provision for future external lighting before you do the detail design. If that’s the case, start from the inside of the house and then follow through to the outside.
- How many circuits might you need?
- Where will you switch or dim them from?
- Are you using a lighting control system?
- If so, where will the dimming/switching modules be located?
Once you’ve looked at connectivity from inside to outside, consider any hard landscaping. Moving cabling within planting beds is relatively easy, but make sure you have cable (or even better conduit) going under your hard landscaped areas (paving, walls).
Garden lighting mood board – decorative fittings for a pond
Design out points of failure
If water can get in, it will. Water ingress is the most common cause of external fittings failing. Try to design out points of failure by planning each link in the chain: the fittings themselves, the connections and the overall approach to cabling.
We’ve written a longer post on how to design out points of failure on the blog but in summary it’s important to take a end-to-end view of each circuit. Use high quality fittings, we’ve a selection on the website, and make all connections in the driest environments you can.

Dear parents and carers,
We've had a smashing week in year 5! In English, we've continued with our work based on "What We'll Build" by Oliver Jeffers and have been researching and writing about different inventions and developments. We learned to organise our texts using headings and subheadings. Next week we'll be using this in some writing about an exciting science experiment.
In maths we have continued with our work on multiplication. This is improving but does need some more time next week, before we move on to division. Please keep practising those times tables at home- more children used TTRS this week but it's still not all of them yet.
The children have really enjoyed our building projects and most are now finished. After our whole school celebration assembly on Monday to see what we've all been doing, I'll be sending the models home. Most are done but some of the more expansive ideas still need some finishing off!
Three things to ask your child this week:

ECOLOGIES OF CARE
Everyday life is the primary terrain of social change
Silvia Federici, activist, in Wages for Housework
Ecologies of Care showcases a series of new works created during Ani Liu’s postpartum period, in contemplation of the labor of mothering. Reflecting the material culture of infant and childcare, the works shown are created with breast milk, formula, diapers, breast pumps, toys, tracking apps, and screen time.
Echoing throughout the exhibition is the sound of a pump that circulates milk within the gallery space. Created as a material reference to the artist’s intimate experience with breastfeeding and pumping, the volume of milk present in Untitled (Feeding Through Space and Time) ranges from the amount produced in a single session of feeding to a month’s supply of lactation.
“Every month, I create approximately 5.85 gallons of breast milk with her body, which is the volume shown in circulation,” explains the artist. “Shortly after giving birth, the visual and sensory cues of a baby’s suckle causes milk to be ejected from the breasts in a process called letdown. Over the course of pumping for months, the mechanical rhythmic sound of the pump now triggers the letdown reflex from my body. Blurring boundaries between flesh and machine, unexpected intimacy is explored between the body, the pump, and the nourishment of the child.”
The breastpump, first patented in 1854, presents knotty potentials, both liberating and limiting. Its presence allows for the disentanglement of body and milk, which can simultaneously empower choice and obligate postpartum bodies back into the labor force with the assumption that all spectrums of society can balance the demands of paid work and care work. Programmed to the rhythm of the artist’s breast pump, the volume circulating represents a week’s worth of milk pumped in the workplace.
Labor of Love provides a data portrait of the enormous amount of invisible labor that pervades caring for a newborn. Reflecting on the historic devaluation of “women’s” work, this sculpture documents the labor often made invisible, questioning the types of work we value, and the care that we often take for granted.
In this portrait, each vial marks 30 minutes of time. From top to bottom marks the 24 hours of a day. From left to right, the first 30 days postpartum. Each vial is filled with breast milk, formula or diaper fragments to mark a feed or a diaper change.
The Surrogacy (bodies are not factories) questions the relationship between technology, reproduction, and the biopolitical control of bodies as a means for production. It depicts a pig uterus that is pregnant with human fetuses. Raising questions of ethics, both in the exploitation of animals and current human surrogates, The Surrogacy explores the idea of a future in which genetically engineered livestock might someday incubate our children.
“This work was inspired by real research done in interspecific pregnancies to incubate endangered species,” says Liu. “Many technologies seek to engineer social equality, but none is as controversial as the technologization of reproduction.”
It has been argued that biological differences in reproductive roles is one of the central challenges that lead to gender inequality. Does the ability to defer pregnancy indefinitely liberate women to pursue career and life in equal strides with men? Or is it systemic policy, and political, and cultural norms around pregnancy that need re-innovating? As the biological sciences continue to innovate, The Surrogacy is a provocation that asks viewers to question the relationship between the options that technology brings, and how they confront our cultural and emotional values.
The artist raises some other contingent questions, such as how does society construct gender through toys. A series of A.I.-generated toys fuse the relationship between the construction of identity and instruments of play, while exploring the cultural and psychological influences that inform caring for children. Created using a machine learning algorithm trained on real products marketed as “boys” and “girls” toys, these invented toys expose one source of the gendered social values that we place on children and critically ask how we might rewrite and redesign play.
Ani Liu: Ecologies of Care is on view until August 6th 2022 at Cuchifritos Gallery, New York

Your business is chiefly recognizable through its brand because that's what sets it apart from the rest – in a market overcrowded with business identities. The brand identity or your business logo is the first link of communication your customer strikes with you.
In other words, the logo is the initiator and the propeller to forge a relationship with your customer. You can get information about the best business branding & logo design via https://cowlickstudios.com/branding/.
Image Source: Google
Over and above the visual aspects of your logo, which are no less important, the design aspect should encompass the integral functionality of drawing the customer to the business through his pool of interests.
This way the attention-grabbing strategy of your brand identity is basically rooted in the customer, which will deliver the first impact of entailing him in your brand pool. So, how to design a brand identity that will connect with your customer?
Designing brand identity is it small or big business that involves a good deal of market research about target customers. The potential you discover about your prospects will help you reap benefits in moving your business closer to the customer/prospects.
For instance, if you are into the business of running training centers, your target group could chiefly comprise sophomores and grads. Identifying their striking note of likes, right from the color combination to designing conventions and the symbolism, can take your business a long way from the first instant of rapport with the customer base.
The initial thread of connectivity with the customer translates into a bonding, which will make your brand coveted and patronized. | <urn:uuid:7117afb7-fb41-463d-a440-b55cfd43a995> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.lamtreatmentalliance.org/corporate-branding-services-landmark-for-business-success/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.944164 | 327 | 1.523438 | 2 |
IMPACT OF DIFFERENTIATED TEACHING IN DISTANCE EDUCATION PRACTICE ON GIFTED AND TALENTED PRIMARY STUDENTS
The main purpose of the present study was to develop and apply a mathematics program that meets the academic and mental needs of gifted and talented primary school students during distance education and to test the effectiveness of the program. The current study involved 120 gifted and talented fourth-grade students, 60 of whom were in the experimental group and 60 in the control group. The distance learning program was prepared based on the parallel curriculum model and the differentiation techniques proposed by the grid model were used. For the collection of data, the Mathematics Achievement Test and the Attitude Scale for Mathematics were given to the students in the experimental and control group as pre-test and post-test. The paired-samples t-test was used to compare the pre-test-post-test scores of students in the experimental and control group. The independent group’s t-test was used to compare the post-test scores of the students in the experimental group with the post-test scores of the students in the control group. Also, covariance analysis was used to compare post-test achievement and attitude scores after controlling pre-test scores in the experimental and control groups. The results of this study indicate that a differentiated mathematics program delivered via distance education increased the achievement and attitude toward mathematics in the experimental group. It was also stated that conducting similar studies for different courses and comparing results will contribute to distance education.

The amount receivable by the producer from the purchaser for a unit of a good or service produced as output, minus any tax payable plus any subsidy receivable, on that unit as a consequence of its production or sale; it excludes any transport charges invoiced separately by the producer. See also Purchasers' price.
Business and government tourism consumption
Also referred to as internal tourism consumption by domestic business and government visitors. Consists of the tourism consumption by resident businesses or governments on tourism related products within Australia. See also Tourism consumption and Internal tourism consumption.
Chain price indexes
Annually reweighted chain Laspeyres price indexes referenced to the same year as the chain volume measures. They can be thought of as a series of indexes measuring price change from a base year to the following year using current price values in the base year as weights, linked together to form a continuous time series. In other words, chain price indexes are constructed in a similar fashion to the chain volume indexes.
Chain volume measures
Annually reweighted chain Laspeyres volume indexes referenced to the current price values in a chosen reference year (See also Reference year). Chain Laspeyres volume measures are compiled by linking together (compounding) movements in volumes, calculated using the average prices of the previous financial year, and applying the compounded movements to the current price estimates of the reference year.
Compensation of employees
The total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an enterprise to an employee in return for work done by the employee during the accounting period. It is further classified into two sub-components: wages and salaries; and employers’ social contributions. Compensation of employees is not payable in respect of unpaid work undertaken voluntarily, including the work done by members of a household within an unincorporated enterprise owned by the same household. Compensation of employees excludes any taxes payable by the employer on the wage and salary bill (e.g. payroll tax). See also Employers' social contributions and Wages and salaries.
Estimates are valued at the prices of the period to which the observation relates. For example, estimates for 2014-15 are valued using 2014-15 prices. This contrasts to chain volume measures where the prices used in valuation refer to the prices of the previous year.
Direct tourism gross domestic product (GDP)
Is direct tourism gross value added plus net taxes on products that are attributable to the tourism industry (tourism net taxes on products). Direct tourism GDP will generally have a higher value than direct tourism value added. Direct tourism GDP is a satellite account construct to enable a direct comparison with the most widely recognised national accounting aggregate, GDP. While it is useful in this context, the direct tourism gross value added measure should be used when making comparisons with other industries or between countries. See also Direct tourism gross value added and Tourism net taxes on products.
Direct tourism gross value added
The value of direct tourism output at basic prices, less the value of the inputs used in producing these tourism products. This measure is directly comparable with the value added of 'conventional' industries such as mining and manufacturing and should also be used for comparisons across countries. See also Direct tourism output and Direct tourism GDP.
Direct tourism output
The value of goods and services, at basic prices, which are consumed by visitors and produced in Australia by industries in a direct relationship with visitors. See also Basic prices and Direct tourism gross value added.
Domestic tourism consumption
Consists of the tourism consumption by resident visitors on tourism related products within Australia. It is the sum of household tourism consumption and business and government tourism consumption. See also Tourism consumption; Internal tourism consumption; Business and government tourism consumption; Household tourism consumption.
Is a person aged 15 years and over who, during the reference week:
- worked for one hour or more for pay, profit, commission or payment in kind in a job or business, or on a farm (comprising employees, employers and own account workers); or
- worked for one hour or more without pay in a family business or on a farm (i.e. contributing family workers); or
- were employees who had a job but were not at work and were: away from work for less than four weeks up to the end of the reference week; or away from work for more than four weeks up to the end of the reference week and received pay for some or all of the four week period to the end of the reference week; or away from work as a standard work or shift arrangement; or on strike or locked out; or on workers' compensation and expected to return to their job; or
- were employers or own account workers, who had a job, business or farm, but were not at work.
Employers' social contributions
Payments by employers which are intended to secure for their employees the entitlement to social benefits should certain events occur, or certain circumstances exist, that may adversely affect their employees' income or welfare - namely work related accidents and retirement. See also Compensation of employees and Wages and salaries.
Exports of goods and services
The value of goods exported and amounts receivable from non-residents for the provision of services by residents.
Final consumption expenditure - general government
Government final consumption expenditure is current expenditure by general government bodies on services to the community such as defence, education, and public order and safety less any explicit charges for these services. If these are provided free of charge or at charges which cover only a small proportion of costs, the government is considered to be the consumer of its own output. This output has no directly observable market value, and so it is valued in the national accounts at its cost of production. It also includes the value of the portion of market output purchased by the General Government sector on behalf of beneficiaries.
Final consumption expenditure - households
Net expenditure on goods and services by persons and expenditure of a current nature by private non-profit institutions serving households. This item excludes expenditures by unincorporated businesses and expenditures on assets by non-profit institutions (included in gross fixed capital formation). Also excluded is expenditure on maintenance of dwellings (treated as intermediate expenses of private enterprises), but personal expenditure on motor vehicles and other durable goods and the imputed rent of owner occupied dwellings are included. The value of 'backyard' production (including food produced and consumed on farms) is included in household final consumption expenditure and the payment of wages and salaries in kind (e.g. food and lodging supplied free to employees) is counted in both household income and household final consumption expenditure.
Employed persons who usually worked 35 hours or more a week (in all jobs) and those who, although usually working fewer than 35 hours a week, worked 35 hours or more during the reference week. See also Part-time workers.
Gross domestic product (GDP)
Is the total market value of goods and services produced in Australia within a given period after deducting the cost of goods and services used up in the process of production but before deducting allowances for the consumption of fixed capital. Thus gross domestic product, as here defined, is 'at market prices'. It is equivalent to gross national expenditure plus exports of goods and services less imports of goods and services. Farm product is that part of gross domestic product which arises from production in agriculture and services to agriculture. It is equivalent to the value added of ANZSIC 06 subdivision 01 'Agriculture' plus taxes less subsidies on products primary to this subdivision. Non-farm product arises from production in all other industries.
Gross fixed capital formation
Expenditure on fixed assets broken down into dwellings, non-dwelling construction, machinery and equipment, cultivated biological assets, intellectual property products and ownership transfer costs. The machinery and equipment category includes plant, machinery, equipment, vehicles, etc. Expenditure on repair and maintenance of fixed assets is excluded, being chargeable to the production account. Additions to fixed assets are regarded as capital formation. Also included is compensation of employees and other costs paid by private enterprise in connection with own-account capital formation. Expenditure on dwellings, non-dwelling construction, and machinery and equipment is measured as expenditure on new and second-hand assets, less sales of existing assets. Cultivated biological assets includes livestock and orchard growth. Along with Computer software, Mineral and petroleum exploration and Artistic originals, Research and development is now included in the intellectual property products asset type. Ownership transfer costs comprise of stamp duty, real estate agents' fees and sales commissions, conveyancing fees and miscellaneous government charges.
Gross mixed income of unincorporated enterprises
The surplus or deficit accruing from production by unincorporated enterprises. It includes elements of both compensation of employees (returns on labour inputs) and operating surplus (returns on capital inputs).
Gross operating surplus
The operating surplus accruing to all enterprises, except unincorporated enterprises, from their operations in Australia. It is the excess of gross output over the sum of intermediate consumption, compensation of employees, and taxes less subsidies on production and imports. It is calculated before deduction of consumption of fixed capital, dividends, interest, royalties and land rent, and direct taxes payable, but after deducting the inventory valuation adjustment. Gross operating surplus is also calculated for general government and it equals general government's consumption of fixed capital.
Gross value added
The value of output at basic prices minus the value of intermediate consumption at purchasers' prices. The term is used to describe gross product by industry and by sector. Basic prices valuation of output removes the distortion caused by variations in the incidence of commodity taxes and subsidies across the output of individual industries. See also Intermediate consumption and Output.
The hours worked by all labour engaged in the production of tourism goods and services, including hours worked by wages and salary earners, employers, self-employed persons, and persons working one hour or more without pay in a family business.
Household tourism consumption
Consists of the tourism consumption by resident households on tourism related products within Australia. See also Tourism consumption and Internal tourism consumption.
Implicit price deflator
The ratio of the current price value of a series to its corresponding chain dollar value, multiplied by 100. Therefore, the tourism gross value added implicit price deflator is the ratio of the current price value of tourism value added to its corresponding chain volume value. This represents the net weighted prices of tourism output less weighted prices of intermediate use. Note that IPDs are subject to revision due to revisions in the relevant current price and/or chain volume estimates.
Imports of goods and services
The value of goods imported and amounts payable to non-residents for the provision of services to residents.
Imputed tourism consumption
Consists of imputations made for the consumption by visitors of certain goods and services for which they do not make a payment. Imputation is confined to a small number of cases where a reasonably satisfactory basis for the valuation of the implied transaction is available, and where their inclusion is consistent with the production boundary in the core national accounts.
An input-output table is a means of presenting a detailed analysis of the process of production and the use of goods and services (products) and the income generated in the production process; they can be either in the form of (a) supply and use tables or (b) symmetric input-output tables.
Consists of the value of the goods and services used as inputs by a process of production, excluding compensation of employees and the consumption of fixed capital. See also Gross value added.
Internal tourism consumption
Consists of all tourism consumption of visitors, both resident and non-resident, within Australia. It is the sum of domestic tourism consumption and international tourism consumption. See also Tourism consumption; Domestic tourism consumption; International tourism consumption.
International tourism consumption
Also referred to as internal tourism consumption by international visitors. Consists of the tourism consumption within Australia by non-residents on tourism related products. See also Tourism consumption and Internal tourism consumption.
Labour productivity estimates
Consist of indexes of real GDP per hour worked. For the whole economy, they have been derived by dividing the chain volume measure of GDP by hours worked. Tourism labour productivity indexes have been derived by dividing the chain volume measure of tourism GVA by the index for hours worked in the tourism industry. Labour productivity indexes reflect not only the contribution of labour to changes in product per labour unit, but are also influenced by the contribution of capital and other factors affecting production.
This is the difference between the resale price of a good and the cost to the retailer or wholesaler of the good sold. A transport margin consists of the transport charges invoiced separately by the producer in the delivery of a good.
Net taxes on products
Also referred to as taxes less subsidies on products. A tax or subsidy on a product is payable per unit of a good or service. The tax or subsidy may be a specific amount of money per unit of quantity of a good or service (quantity being measured either in terms of discrete units or continuous physical variables such as volume, weight, strength, distance, time, etc.), or it may be calculated ad valorem as a specified percentage of the price per unit or value of the goods or services transacted. A tax or subsidy on a product usually becomes payable when the product is produced, sold or imported, but it may also become payable in other circumstances, such as when a good is exported, leased, transferred, delivered, or used for own consumption or own capital formation. See also Other taxes on production and Taxes less subsidies on production and imports.
Additivity refers to an aggregate being the sum of its components. This only exists in volume index estimates when a fixed set of prices is used. As weights of a chain volume index change from year to year, chain volume indexes have no base period in the sense of a fixed weight index base period and therefore non-additivity exists in the chain volume measures. In the context of the tourism chain volume estimates, 'totals' have been chained separately based on deflating the aggregate current price values, rather than summing the component chain volume estimates. Therefore, it is not recommended to calculate the proportion tourism contributes to GDP or gross value added in chain volume terms.
Other taxes on production
Consist of all taxes that enterprises incur as a result of engaging in production, except taxes on products. Other taxes on production include: taxes related to the payroll or workforce numbers excluding compulsory social security contributions paid by employers and any taxes paid by the employees themselves out of their wages or salaries; recurrent taxes on land, buildings or other structures; some business and professional licences where no service is provided by the Government in return; taxes on the use of fixed assets or other activities; stamp duties; taxes on pollution; and taxes on international transactions. See also Taxes less subsidies on production and imports.
Outbound tourism consumption
Also referred to as tourism imports. Consists of the tourism consumption by resident visitors outside of Australia while on an international trip. See also Tourism consumption.
This consists of those goods and services that are produced within an establishment that become available for use outside that establishment, plus any goods and services produced for own final use. See also Gross value added.
Employed persons who usually worked fewer than 35 hours a week (in all jobs) and either did so during the reference week or were not at work during the reference week. See also Full-time workers.
A measure of the price component of the current price value is obtained (usually in the form of a price index) and is divided into the current price value in order to re-value it in the prices of the previous year.
The amount paid by the purchaser, excluding any deductible tax, in order to take delivery of a unit of a good or service at the time and place required by the purchaser. The purchaser’s price of a good includes any transport charges paid separately by the purchaser to take delivery at the required time and place. See also Basic price.
Chain volume estimates need to be expressed in terms of the values of a particular reference year. The reference year for an index series is equal to 100, that is, the chain volume estimates are set equal to the current price values. The reference year chosen for the tourism chain volume estimates is the previous financial year (t-1). This reference year ensures use of the most recent data available for sub-division level industry value added from unpublished Australian National Account’s (ANA) Supply and Use tables as well as consistency with the key macroeconomic aggregates (e.g. GDP) published in the ANA’s annual estimates.
Taxes less subsidies on production and imports
Defined as ‘taxes on products’ plus ‘other taxes on production’ less 'subsidies on products' less 'other subsidies on production'. The taxes do not include any taxes on the profits or other income received by an enterprise. They are payable irrespective of the profitability of the production process. They may be payable on the land, fixed assets or labour employed in the production process, or on certain activities or transactions. See also Other taxes on production and Net taxes on products.
Comprises the activities of visitors. See also Visitor.
Tourism characteristic industries
Are those industries that would either cease to exist in their present form, producing their present product(s), or would be significantly affected if tourism were to cease. Under the international TSA standards, core lists of tourism characteristic industries, based on the significance of their link to tourism in the worldwide context, are recommended for implementation to facilitate international comparison. In the Australian TSA, for an industry to be a country-specific tourism characteristic industry, at least 25 per cent of its output must be consumed by visitors.
Tourism characteristic products
These are defined in the international TSA standards as those products which would cease to exist in meaningful quantity, or for which sales would be significantly reduced, in the absence of tourism. Under the international TSA standards, core lists of tourism characteristic products, based on the significance of their link to tourism in the worldwide context, are recommended for implementation to facilitate international comparison. It is also recommended in the international TSA standards that country-specific tourism characteristic products are identified. In the Australian TSA, for a product to be a country-specific tourism characteristic product, at least 25 per cent of the total output of the product must be consumed by visitors.
Tourism connected industries
Are those, other than tourism characteristic industries, for which a tourism related product is directly identifiable (primary) to, and where the products are consumed by visitors in volumes which are significant for the visitor and/or the producer. All other industries are classified as non-tourism industries, though some of their products may be consumed by visitors and are included in the calculation of direct tourism gross value added and direct tourism GDP.
Tourism connected products
Are those that are consumed by visitors but are not considered as tourism characteristic products. All other products in the supply and use table not consumed by visitors are classified as 'all other goods and services' in the TSA.
Consists of tourism expenditure plus imputed consumption by resident and non-resident visitors on tourism related products, including those sold at prices that are not economically significant. See also Tourism expenditure.
Consists of the amount paid by a visitor or on behalf of a visitor for and during his/her trip and stay at the destination. See also Tourism consumption.
Tourism industry ratio
This is the proportion of the total value added of an industry which is related to tourism.
Tourism net taxes on tourism products
Consists of taxes paid less subsidies received on tourism related products which is attributable to productive activity of tourism related industries that are in a direct relationship with visitors. In the case of goods purchased by visitors, only the net taxes attributable to the value of retail trade services on those goods will be included.
Tourism product ratio
This is the proportion of the total supply of a product which is consumed by visitors.
This is defined in the international TSA standards as those trips which are taken by visitors.
This is made up of one or more areas in which a person undertakes their regular activities such as their residence, place of work, place of study and other places frequently visited. The usual environment criteria has two dimensions. Frequency means places that are visited on a routine basis (at least once a week) are considered part of a person's usual environment, even if the place visited is located a considerable distance from place of residence. Distance means locations close (up to 40 kilometres from home for overnight trips and up to 50 kilometres from home (round trip) for day trips) to the place of residence of a person are also included in their usual environment.
A visitor is defined as any person 'taking a trip to a main destination outside his/her usual environment, for less than a year, for any main purpose (business, leisure or other personal purpose) other than to be employed by a resident entity in the country or place visited'.
Measures growth in the volume of production and expenditures on products between any two periods of interest. Where there is more than one type of product, it is necessary to apply some kind of weighting. This is possible by valuing products at their prices in one or other period and dividing the total value of their combined production in the second period by that in the first. The same prices must be used for both periods to ensure the index reflects only changes in quantities produced. Chain linked volume indexes take account of changes to price relativities that occur from one year to the next. It is the price relativities that determine the weight given to each component of a volume index.
Wages and salaries
Consist of amounts payable in cash including the value of any social contributions, income taxes, fringe benefits tax, etc., payable by the employee even if they are actually withheld by the employer for administrative convenience or other reasons and paid directly to social insurance schemes, tax authorities, etc., on behalf of the employee. Wages and salaries may be paid as remuneration in kind instead of, or in addition to, remuneration in cash. Separation, termination and redundancy payments are also included in wages and salaries. Wages and salaries are also measured as far as possible on an accrual rather than a strict cash basis. | <urn:uuid:3c71cadd-0247-41d6-87cd-d25b5e6de7ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.abs.gov.au/methodologies/australian-national-accounts-tourism-satellite-account-methodology/2019-20 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.949527 | 4,646 | 2.359375 | 2 |
After receiving adverse reports involving five animals, Australia-based Jurox Animal Health voluntarily recalled two lots of the widely used intravenous injectable anesthetic Alfaxan unpreserved last week, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The reason for the recall: The presence of aluminum phosphate precipitate, which, when injected, presents a possible risk of blood vessel inflammation and formation of potentially life-threatening blood clots.
You could have a say on the future of veterinary education. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE) Selection Committee is seeking interested and qualified veterinarians to serve on the council. Per the AVMA, “This is one of the most important volunteer roles that AVMA members can fill.”
When it’s all about quality of care, everyone’s on board. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB), Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) and National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) on Thursday released a joint statement of support for
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reporting a shortage of three pain relief drugs: fentanyl, morphine and hydromorphone. The shortage is due to upgrades being made at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Kansas, and is unrelated to any federal policies on opioids or manufacturing quotas, according to FDA officials.
In the wake of the Tropical Depression Harvey disaster, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has made it easier for Texas veterinarians to treat animals affected by the storm.
The World Health Organization (WHO) may be considering another proposed change to the international scheduling of ketamine, and the AVMA is seeking the profession’s help in asking the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to protect veterinarians’ access to this critical drug. The AVMA is drafting a letter to the FDA that will outline how critical ketamine use is in veterinary medicine and how important it is that it remain available to U.S. veterinarians, and is requesting your help during this urgent time to reinforce the message.
It appears that Congress will pass an eleventh-hour Tax Extenders Bill, a package of 55 tax breaks for businesses and individuals that will cost approximately $45 billion.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave veterinarians the green light to use cannabis in the treatment of pets—in a manner of speaking. Put it this way: It didn’t say they couldn’t. Here’s what happened.

Bioactive Proteins in Bovine Milk - Studies on Glutathione Peroxidase, Lactoferrin and Immunoglobulins
Sammanfattning: Many proteins in bovine milk exhibit specific biological activity in addition to their established nutritional value as source of protein. Examples of such bioactive proteins are extracellular glutathione peroxidase, lactoferrin and immunoglobulins. Extracellular glutathione peroxidase (eGSHPx) fulfils an antioxidative function, immunoglobulins are antimicrobial, and it has been suggested that lactoferrin exhibits both of these properties. These functions may be of importance in the quality of milk and other dairy products, the influence of milk on human health and in the use of milk as a source of bioactive components in food or pharmaceutical products. Therefore, a good under-standing of the relation between thermal stability and bioactivity is important for the optimal use of bioactive proteins. In this thesis, antioxidative factors in milk are reviewed, both enzymatic and non-enzymatic factors, and a relationship between the protein antioxidants is proposed. For one of the antioxidant enzymes, eGSHPx, a purification strategy for its isolation from bovine plasma is described for the first time. The purified eGSHPx was used to develop a new immunological assay of it and, moreover, a method of measuring its activity in milk and whey was optimised. The glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity in bovine milk was found to be similar to that in human milk, 25 to 50 U mL-1. The effect of storage and heating on GSHPx in milk and on pure eGSHPx and cellular glutathione peroxidase (cGSHPx) was also studied. An important finding was that the activity of GSHPx in milk and whey persisted after heat treatment at 72°C for 2 min, indicating that some industrially used pasteurisation processes will not affect the enzyme activity. Furthermore, studies on the thermal stability of immunoglobulins showed them to have a higher unfolding temperature, 80°C, than eGSHPx (69°C), but both of these unfolding temperatures were in the same range as those of other whey proteins. Finally, the influence of the antimicrobial activity of immunoglobulins and lactoferrin on the growth of starter cultures was evaluated in milk with a somatic cell count (SCC) below about 400 000. The concentration of the immunoglobulins IgA, IgG2, IgM and lactoferrin, as well as the prolonged fermentation time, could be used as markers of processability in addition to SCC. The addition of zinc to cows’ feed significantly increased the concentration of IgA, IgG2 and lactoferrin, while no effect was observed on SCC. The delay in time before growth commenced of starter cultures was also extended indicating that the immune response was affected by zinc supplementation.

How to Paint a Shower Base
Fiberglass shower bases, known as shower pans, can become dull and dingy with time, giving a worn appearance to your bathroom. Rather than replacing the entire shower unit, it is possible to refurnish the fiberglass base with an epoxy paint designed for bathtubs and showers.
Shower Base Preparation
1. Take Proper Safety Precautions
Don rubber gloves and a protective mask.
2. Use an All-Purpose Cleaner
Thoroughly clean the shower base. Remove all dirt, grime, grease and soap scum with an all-purpose cleaning product. DoItYourself.com also states that you can use a degreaser or baking soda to get the surface ready for painting.
3. Remove the Existing Caulking
Cut and remove old caulking, using a screwdriver or putty knife, then scrape out existing grout with a grout removal tool. Remove debris, then check for wet spots on caulking, which could indicate a water leak. Repair leakage problems, if necessary, before proceeding.
4. Use a Respirator
Keep skin covered at all times. Wear protective goggles and gloves, and use a respirator. Follow safety precautions on paint instructions. Provide ventilation in the room and limit the time you are exposed to harmful fumes. Check with a medical professional before attempting this job, if you have allergies or other illnesses.
5. Remove the Shower Base's Glossy Finish
Using 120-grit sandpaper or No. 0000 steel wool, scour the base to remove the glossy finish. Clean the entire shower base with a sponge and trisodium phosphate, then thoroughly rinse the base and wipe it dry with paper towels.
6. Cover the Areas You Don't Want Painted
Cover all surrounding areas of the shower with sheets of plastic to prevent paint from being sprayed onto sections other than the base. Tape the plastic where it meets the base. Use additional tape to cover the shower drain and fixtures.
Paint the Shower Base
1. Prepare and Apply the Paint
Using epoxy paint for fiberglass shower pans, mix according to manufacturer instructions. Fill the paint sprayer with prepared paint and apply the paint to the shower base in even strokes.
Note: Bathtub and shower pan refinisher kits are available, says The Spruce, which contain the required paint and sprayer. Use light layers of paint at a time, rather than thick concentrations, which could clump and run.
2. Add Additional Layers of Paint
Allow the paint to dry as directed by the manufacturer, repeating with additional layers of paint as needed.
3. Smooth the Surface
Use fine sandpaper or steel wool to smooth each coat to ensure even distribution and shine. Wipe each coat with damp paper towels when it is dry.
4. Apply New Caulking and Grout
Allow the painted shower base to dry for at least 24 hours before using the shower. Reapply shower caulking and grout after the base is dry and before turning on the water.
Things You Will Need
NIOSH approved respirator
General cleaning products
Screwdriver or putty knife
Grout removal implement
Fine, 120-grit sandpaper or No. 0000 steel wool
Epoxy paint for fiberglass shower pans
Bathroom caulk and grout

Refugee groups warn of trafficking risk for fleeing Ukrainians
The grassroots efforts across Europe to help and house Ukrainians arriving in unfamiliar countries have helped thousands find refuge, but could also be a human trafficker's “dream," refugee advocates are warning.
The big picture: Almost 3 million people — mostly women and children — have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, according to the U.N. refugee agency. The vast majority have sought refuge in Poland, which has taken in more than 1.7 million refugees in the last 19 days.
On the ground: Daphne Panayotatos of Refugees International visited several border crossings into Poland last week, where hundreds of traumatized Ukrainians were greeted with free SIM cards, blankets, meals, and offers of rides. Hopefully, most people are well-intentioned, she told Axios, but added:
- “Someone’s holding a cardboard sign that says ‘I can take three people to Berlin’ and who knows? It’s really creating a huge risk and without proper structures in place to register people, we could see some really negative consequences of this.”
- World Vision Romania's Andreea Bujor notes that Romania, where over 400,000 Ukrainians have arrived, was already known as a hub of human trafficking. The priority when the war began was to provide emergency aid as quickly as possible, but now "we have to think about these things, too," Bujor says.
Driving the news: Yesterday, the City of Berlin began warning Ukrainian refugees arriving by train to be careful of offers of money or accommodation, over concern they could be trafficked or forced into prostitution.
- Germany’s interior ministry says more than 300,000 private homes have been offered as shelter for refugees. But the German government is now asking people to register their homes with the government, rather than approaching people individually.
- Polish authorities on Thursday detained a 49-year-old man for allegedly raping a 19-year-old Ukrainian woman.
Aid groups are particularly concerned about the risks for children who were unaccompanied or separated from families, a danger highlighted by UNICEF and UNHCR last week.
- An estimated 100,000 children live in orphanages and institutions in Ukraine, according to a Monday release by Save the Children.
- "These children are some of the most vulnerable in Ukraine and face a heightened risk of trafficking, abuse, and other forms of exploitation," Save the Children’s Eastern Europe director Irina Saghoyan said in a statement.
What to watch: A coordinated, regional response is key, Panayotatos said, because if one neighboring country has weaker controls traffickers will simply go there.
Zoom out: A 2020 report from the European Commission said its “conservative estimate” is that human traffickers made 29.4 billion euros annually. | <urn:uuid:fc1ffdb3-e5de-4bba-a297-4b61e598f33a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.axios.com/2022/03/15/human-trafficking-ukraine-refugees-risk | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570793.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808092125-20220808122125-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.966943 | 594 | 2.28125 | 2 |

Using tea composed of oil is in particular successful if the body is definitely currently in a new stressed situation due to health issues, stress or perhaps prolonged treatment-involving antibiotics t a decrease of the body’s natural weight.
Using tea shrub oil prior to a good medical operations or with regard to those suffering from long-drawn debilitating illness has recently been identified to be beneficial. The anti-fungal, anti-bacterial in addition to anti-viral qualities have observed green tea tree lube appearing used extensively in soaps, toothpastes, deodorants, disinfectants, gargles, germicides, aftershaves and colognes. Herbal tea tree oil is secure to use, as that will be non-toxic and non-irritant.
Though tea tree petrol has no known side side effects, some individuals could get sensitive to it. sapone tea tree for consideration in the strength of tea forest oil and should by no means be applied undiluted on this body and specifically upon sensitive areas. | <urn:uuid:6f079401-7f54-4707-818c-e9d4ce3d7d98> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.atelierdenisguidone.com/the-miracles-of-tea-shrub-petrol-for-skin-and-hair-care/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.955108 | 862 | 1.710938 | 2 |
Steve Smith, host of your TQA Weekly, explains how-to use the Terminal in Linux to administrate the various network adapters you may have running.
Episode #2-26 released on March 25, 2012
A lot of people use the internet, and a growing set of people are starting to adopt operating systems based on Linux, so today, I teach you how to ipconfig in Linux!
If your used to using Windows, and your now on a Linux operating, you may find it a little difficult at times to get tasks done when it comes to operating system level tasks, even basic tasks like checking your Ethernet or Wireless cards online status. Today, I'll explain how to check up on their progress.
First, you need to open up my favourite application in Linux, the Bash terminal, by clicking Crtl-Alt-T.
The first command we will use is the arp command. This command allows us to verify the connectivity and status of our network adapters. It tells you the type of hardware, the address of the hardware, and the interface address.
The second command I find useful is the netstat command, and it is available in Windows, too. It allows you to see active connections that have or are being made. It will echo a long list of information. You can optionally use the netstat | head to just read the top few lines of data that would be output.
Now, what do you do if your networking connections have failed. First, I'd check to make sure no pets have eaten the cables, all the plugs for routers, and Ethernet cabling are all in properly, but sometimes it can be Linux. There is a command for this :
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
This command restarts all the networking adapters.
You can also check on your devices by using the iwconfig command, which will post data on all your current connections, or you can use the command to specifically query one network adapter by typing in iwconfig wlan0, wlan0 could be replaced by any network adapter address, like eth0, lo or others.
If you want to identify all available Ethernet or Wireless networking adapters, you can also use another command. The first is the Ethernet example, the second is the wireless example.
ifconfig -a | grep eth
ifconfig -a | grep wlan
This will echo the available devices for networking, in your current device.
And the last command I am going to demonstrate today, is the lshw command. This is similar to ifconfig, but can show you a lot more information configured correctly. To use, type in :
sudo lshw -class network
It will echo all data about all network adapters, and this information includes vendor, bus information, logical names, series, capacity, width, clock speed, capabilities, configuration, etc...
For more information on this episode and the commands used, please go to my show notes directly by visiting http://tqaweekly.com/se2ep26.
Next Week, we will finally be looking at how to apply CSS in your web-site, correctly. I will explain the difference between ID and Class, and how these can really confuse you, how to apply styles to all sorts of objects. I'll explain the DIV tag, and how it won over the layer tag, and how to make the stylesheet an external object, and why this is always a good idea.

Text: The Creation Answers Book, chapter 5
Section: The big bang light travel problem
What is the horizon problem?
Discuss some of the ways that ‘big bang’ astronomers have sought to solve this problem.
How does this problem place the ‘big bang’ on the same footing as biblical cosmology?
Section: Created light?
- Discuss the implications of the idea that God created light ‘on its way’ on the fourth day of creation. List the pros and cons of this idea.
Section: Did light always travel at the same speed?
What are some bad arguments used against the c decay theory?
What are some good arguments used against the c decay theory?
Section: New creationist cosmologies
What crucial idea may provide a clue to explaining distant starlight from a biblical perspective?
Discuss the scientific and theological problems associated with the ‘big bang’. (See also Q&A: Astronomy and Astrophysics for information.)
How do we know the given distances to the stars are real?
Section: New approaches: Dr Russ Humphreys
What are some of the weaknesses in Dr Humphreys’ original white hole cosmology?
Explain how Dr Humphreys’ new model draws on Scripture to provide a framework.
What other assumptions does Dr Humphreys make?
Dr Humphreys’ new model describes the earth as being plunged into a zone of ‘timelessness’. What are the physical effects of this on earth? What are the physical effects of this outside the timeless zone?
What would an observer on Earth see as the result of Dr Humphreys’ model?
How has Dr Humphreys’ model been applied to scientific anomalies such as the ‘Pioneer anomaly’?
Section: New approaches: Dr John Hartnett
Describe the concept of ‘cosmological relativity’.
What are some of the strengths of the cosmological relativity concept?
What assumptions does Dr Hartnett use in his cosmology?
How does his cosmology differ from Dr Humphreys cosmology?
Summarize Dr Hartnett’s model of cosmology. One possible answer follows:
Dr John Hartnett uses the concepts of a cosmic centre of mass, expansion of space, and recent time dilation and incorporates cosmological relativity. Cosmological relativity is derived from the development of special relativity theory (the effect of motion on time) for the large scale structure of the universe. The model involves the usual four dimensions (three of space, plus time) but adds a new fifth dimension, the velocity of the expansion of the cosmos, which is like the effect that velocity has on time in special relativity. When applied to a universe with a centre of mass it explains a lot of what we see. Time dilation also results, but not due to a net gravitational effect in a finite bounded universe—it is due to the enormous stretching of the fabric of space. At Creation, God caused space to rapidly expand such that clocks on Earth at the centre of the expansion ran very slowly compared to clocks in galaxies in the expanding cosmos.
What are some of the problems that Dr Hartnett’s cosmology solves?
Further discussion questions
In general, what is a ‘model’? Read ‘Hanging Loose’: What should we defend? What should our attitude be toward Scripture, and toward models based on Scripture?
Although ‘distant starlight’ seems a problem for the Biblical young-universe teaching, there are many other astronomical evidences that point toward a young universe. Write a paper presenting various evidences for a young universe.

Through the creation of original artwork and the study of liberal arts, art history, and contemporary art theory and practice, students develop the skills and knowledge needed to serve society with inquisitive attitudes and professional-level problem-solving capabilities.
Experienced faculty members teach the art and design courses and serve as student advisers. A required mid-program portfolio review offers students an overview of their progress in the major. A variety of international and domestic travel/study opportunities allow students to experience other cultures and places. Field experiences supplement educational theory and practice in a setting with working professionals. Extensive library resources and the School of Art and Design’s Visual Resource Center are significant assets.
A 2.0 overall grade point average and a 2.5 or better in Art and Design department courses is required to complete this Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Students must present an exhibition of their work during their senior year.

Domain auctions are the sale of a domain name in an auction style format, with the highest bidder purchasing the domain. Most often, the term domain auctions refers to the high-profile, premium domain auctions that feature generic, high-traffic, high-valued domain names. These auctions are offered on an ongoing basis by some companies, as well as domain meetings and conferences held throughout the year. Domain auctions occur on a smaller level as well though, particularly in the aftermarket, where many domain names are sold in an auction format. Often times, domain names that have been backordered with more than one potential buyer are also sold in an auction format. | <urn:uuid:959269d4-c60c-4c04-aa47-93ae7bf9e84e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.igoldrush.com/reference/domain-glossary/d/domain-auctions | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570793.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808092125-20220808122125-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.956641 | 135 | 1.65625 | 2 |
Hazardous metal found in Westside Elementary water
- Chromium-6, a metallic element, has been linked to kidney and liver damage as well as to cancer.
- In 2014 California adopted regulations stating that chromium-6 levels in drinking water must be less than 0.01 mg/l.
Officials have detected levels of chromium-6 in the drinking water at Westside Elementary School above the level deemed safe by the California Department of Public Health.
During routine testing carried out over 2015 and part of 2016, officials found 0.013 milligrams per liter of chromium-6 in the water at Westside Elementary. In 2014 the state adopted regulations requiring public drinking water to have chromium-6 levels below 0.010 milligrams per liter. The metallic element when consumed at high levels over long periods of time has been linked to kidney and liver damage as well as cancer.
Westside Principal RoseMary Hyder said the chromium-6 found in the water did not represent an emergency and that the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health has told school officials that they may leave the drinking fountains turned on. Even so, the school is taking precautions and providing bottled water in every classroom, in the cafeteria and in the library, Hyder said.
"We were very proactive in letting our parents and our community know what was happening. I explained to parents how the state changed the regulations, and it has gone very smoothly," Hyder said.
The school sent a letter to parents last week, as well as, two automated phone calls. On Monday morning, Westside held a walk-in information session with the district's facilities director and with representatives from the county department of environmental health. Hyder said no parents came to the school with concerns Monday morning, which she credits to the information school officials sent home.
Westside Elementary is the only school in Coachella Valley Unified School District that uses well water. The school district has approved plans to connect the school to the Coachella Valley Water District by August 2017. Construction, which is slated to begin by June 2016, will cost between $800,000 to $1 million, according to district spokeswoman Francinni Zabata.
"We're providing bottled water mainly because of the construction that is going to take place. Whatever happens we're ready to go, and our students always know that they're safe at Westside," Hyder said.
Although there is no legal requirement for the school to turn off drinking fountains, the department of environmental health recommends that they do so, said Mark Abbott, land use and water supervisor with the Indio office of environmental health. Abbott added that his department approved the district's plan to provide bottled water upon request and to bring the school's water system into compliance by 2017, a timeline he called "aggressive."
But, the chromium-6 found in the water is not cause for undue alarm, Abbott said.
"We're talking parts per billion. A part per billion is pretty close to the equivalent to a drop in an Olympic-sized swimming pool," he said.
California is the only state to regulate chromium-6 specifically, allowing a maximum contaminant level of 10 ppb in drinking water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency doesn't regulate chromium-6 by itself, but requires that any level of chromium in drinking water fall below 100 ppb.
Chromium-6 is a naturally-occurring element in the valley groundwater. The Coachella Valley Water District plans on beginning construction for a $250-million water treatment facilities plan this summer, said Heather Engel, CVWD director of communication and conservation in an email. Roughly one-third of CVWD's wells have chromium-6 levels above the state standard. Construction of the water treatment facilities is expected to be completed in late 2019 and CVWD is also upgrading three existing ion exchange treatment plants that are currently used to remove arsenic and chromium-6 from the water, Engel said.
The cities of Coachella and Indio are also grappling with how to comply with the state's regulations and where to find the money to build water treatment facilities.

Sooner or later, you may need to assign the contents of one zval container to another. This is easier said than done, since the zval container doesn't contain only type information, but also references to places in Zend's internal data. For example, depending on their size, arrays and objects may be nested with lots of hash table entries. By assigning one zval to another, you avoid duplicating the hash table entries, using only a reference to them (at most).
To copy this complex kind of data, use the copy constructor. Copy constructors are typically defined in languages that support operator overloading, with the express purpose of copying complex types. If you define an object in such a language, you have the possibility of overloading the "=" operator, which is usually responsible for assigning the contents of the lvalue (result of the evaluation of the left side of the operator) to the rvalue (same for the right side).
Overloading means assigning a different meaning to this operator, and is usually used to assign a function call to an operator. Whenever this operator would be used on such an object in a program, this function would be called with the lvalue and rvalue as parameters. Equipped with that information, it can perform the operation it intends the "=" operator to have (usually an extended form of copying).
This same form of "extended copying" is also necessary for PHP's zval containers. Again, in the case of an array, this extended copying would imply re-creation of all hash table entries relating to this array. For strings, proper memory allocation would have to be assured, and so on.
Zend ships with such a function, called zend_copy_ctor() (the previous PHP equivalent was pval_copy_constructor()).
A most useful demonstration is a function that accepts a complex type as argument, modifies it, and then returns the argument:
The first part of the function is plain-vanilla argument retrieval. After the (left out) modifications, however, it gets interesting: The container of parameter is assigned to the (predefined) return_value container. Now, in order to effectively duplicate its contents, the copy constructor is called. The copy constructor works directly with the supplied argument, and the standard return values are FAILURE on failure and SUCCESS on success.
If you omit the call to the copy constructor in this example, both parameter and return_value would point to the same internal data, meaning that return_value would be an illegal additional reference to the same data structures. Whenever changes occurred in the data that parameter points to, return_value might be affected. Thus, in order to create separate copies, the copy constructor must be used.
The copy constructor's counterpart in the Zend API, the destructor zval_dtor(), does the opposite of the constructor. | <urn:uuid:67cc8f43-05fd-4ec9-b5d5-2d5a67710390> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://zqianduan.com/lab/tools/php/res/zh/zend.copy-constructor.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.877818 | 593 | 2.59375 | 3 |

No baby, no manger, no shepherds, no wise men, no guiding star, not even a virgin! This is John’s nativity – he omits them all. For John Christmas is simply: the Word became flesh. Not as cute as the baby, not the stuff that inspires awesome snow scenes, but it has the same conclusion: Jesus is Emmanuel – God with us. Or put John’s way – the Word become flesh.
John doesn’t tell us why he omits the manger and the virgin birth, but we can make some calculated guesses. Perhaps, unlike Matthew and Luke, he felt he should only testify to what he saw. Or perhaps he was trying to respond to specific questions people had at the time of writing; like how can Jesus be both God and man? Or how can God have a Son? Whatever his motives were we are grateful for the rich insights that accompany his explanation of the origins of Christ.

The month of March is known as Women’s History Month. Every year it highlights the contributions of women to culture, history, and modern society. The U.S formalized this celebration in 1987 to recognize achievements by women who have made an impact in the world we live in today. Historically there has been a shortage of women in Tech companies, yet they have participated in shaping and pioneering technology for years. Woman have been responsible for how we interact with computers through the development of programming languages, how we see information through displays, how we communication through telephony, how fast we can share data through the internet, the evolution of gaming, and design interfaces. Yet, with all these accomplishments, women still have a less dominant role in the Tech industry than men. In fact, less than 5% of tech start-ups are women owned. For this reason NTG is proud of its own heritage, earning a strong reputation as a leader in the Managed Services Provider tech space. As an Economically Disadvantaged Woman Owned Small Business, our CEO has been a visionary in growing a company that not only provides excellent services but harnesses a positive work environment where the team grows together. NTG’s commitment to hard work is evident in the passion it places into its Five Core Values that guide them today.

From French to anti-communist to communist, each regime has put its imprint on street names. Take Saigon — oops, Ho Chi Minh City — where nearly all 60 French-named streets have been renamed.
|A historic photo, from the early 1900s, of the Rue Catinat, which later became the Tu Do (Freedom) Street, and still later Dong Khoi (Uprising) Street. Believed to have been taken between 1900-1910Credit: Collection Philippe Chaplain – Fédération Nationale du Patrimoine] *** (Collection Philippe, Federation Nationale / July 4, 2010)|
By Mark Magnier, Los Angeles Times July 5, 2010
Literature lovers who come looking for Rue Catinat in this city once known as Saigon better hope they happen upon a Francophile octogenarian.
The street, made famous in Graham Greene’s “The Quiet American,” hasn’t been called that in more than half a century. These days, it’s called Dong Khoi (Uprising) Street. (And before that, it was called Freedom Street. But more about that later.)
The story of Catinat-Freedom-Uprising Street is the story of Vietnam itself: The last half a century has seen French, pro-American and communist regimes, along with an economic opening, each inspiring new names.”I’ve experienced three name changes involving the same street,” said Nguyen Thanh Minh, 56, a restaurant worker in this city, which has had its own name change. “It’s all a bit confusing and can take five or six years to get used to the new one. Sometimes when you mail a letter, you have to write both addresses so it gets delivered.”
Take Rue Catinat, which in “The Quiet American” was portrayed as the epitome of rundown, opium-soaked Saigon under French rule.
Given the baggage associated with this particular street, named after a warship that in 1856 helped cement France’s imperial grip on the country, it’s hardly surprising that the newly independent Vietnamese renamed it as quickly as you can say “au revoir.”
After independence in 1954, as people celebrated a parade of French derrieres returning to Paris, anti-communist dictator Ngo Dinh Diem renamed it Tu Do (Freedom) Street, part of a reassertion of Vietnamese names throughout the country.
Although the new name may have helped Diem cozy up to the Americans in the run-up to the Vietnam War, it didn’t bring the freedom from vice that the Catholic moralist dictator sought.
A flood of American GIs in the 1960s brought more drugs and sex to Freedom Street, along with rock ‘n’ roll and traffic jams. A Vietnamese joke at the time, after city planners routed all vehicles in a single direction, held that freedom was a one-way street reserved for Americans.
With U.S. spending soaring and more shops adopting English names, a worried Saigon government ordered that all stores feature Vietnamese names three times larger than foreign names on their signs. In one noted example, the ” Texas” bar was reborn as the “Te-xa” bar in a larger font.
With the fall of Saigon in 1975, triumphant Viet Cong went on a sign-painting spree, especially in newly renamed Ho Chi Minh City, replacing street names honoring anti-communist heroes with those of communist luminaries.
“First they’d announce a street’s new name on TV or radio,” recalled Nguyen Quang Vinh, a pharmacist and Viet Cong soldier in Saigon when it fell. “Then a couple of days later you’d see them putting up the new signs. There were a lot, so it took some getting used to.”
The street known as Freedom became Uprising Street, after a revolutionary Viet Cong movement in nearby Ben Tre province.
Recently, as more affluent Vietnamese bridle under Communist Party restrictions, that has prompted a joke that everything may be on the rise, but freedom is gone.
Communist revolutionary Nguyen Kim Bach, 70, who helped plan the 1968 Tet offensive, likes the latest crop of street names.
“It’s often good to see a shift, especially when you don’t like what the old names represent,” he said.
Marie Nguyen, 59, who fled Vietnam in the 1970s with her husband, a paratrooper in the anti-communist south, and who now splits her time between Vietnam and Australia, feels differently: “The old names are part of our history. I much prefer them.”
The Communist Party’s efforts to imprint its revolutionary stamp on the citizenry have been helped by Vietnam’s demographics, with one of the youngest populations in the world.
“Youngsters have no memory of what came before, like youngsters everywhere,” Nguyen said.
“I haven’t noticed any real switch,” agreed Le Thi My Hanh, 24, a native of the coastal city of Nha Trang who spent three years in Ho Chi Minh City attending a university before heading overseas for graduate school. “It’s rather hard to relate to older people on the street with all the change.”
In recent years, Vietnam has seen another generation of names as the government reshapes provinces, districts and towns to streamline administration and, some insiders say, bolster the careers of particular party secretaries, a Vietnamese version of gerrymandering.
“These efforts to get manageable units with the population change have become very complicated, with some older names from history reasserting themselves,” said Carlyle A. Thayer, a professor at the Australian Defense Force Academy. “It’s been a bit like putting a straitjacket on a mental patient: It hasn’t always fit.”
The few French street names that have survived in Ho Chi Minh City, down from 60 in colonial times, honor scientists who presumably remain above the ideological fray, including Louis Pasteur (1822-95) and Nobel laureate Marie Curie (1867-1934).
“If the name changes, but the street looks the same, it’s not a problem,” said Nguyen Thanh Minh, the restaurant worker. “But if the whole appearance changes, it gets confusing. Fortunately the numbers stay the same.”
One change that hasn’t really stuck, even after 35 years, is Ho Chi Minh City, which most locals still refer to as Saigon.
“Most Vietnamese prefer the old name,” said Nguyen Kim Bach, the revolutionary. “Saigon is only two syllables. When you have to say ‘the City of Ho Chi Minh,’ it can be a bit of a mouthful.”

I’m writing from my small town in Vermont, where schools are closed for Superstorm Sandy, but the sun is shining and it’s as pretty a fall day as we’ve had this year. The lights stayed on. My thoughts go out to those millions of people who have been less fortunate.
Like the rest of the country, I spent a lot of time yesterday searching for information about the storm. Were my friends and family safe? Was it headed my way? Were there D batteries available anywhere in Addison County?
Now that the threat has passed, I find myself thinking about how I seek, access and evaluate information online in a crunch. Perhaps there are some lessons for us here when the storm clears:
1) New Media. While I’m a loyal fan of print, I bypassed traditional media completely yesterday. Even the evening news (yes, I still watch it religiously) wasn’t up to date enough. The 24-hour news cycle has spoiled all of us, and particularly in times of crisis, information is only as useful as it is new. Communicators looking to stay relevant must act accordingly.
2) Google. Search, search and more search. That’s how I went after the information I wanted. I searched repeatedly, often on the same terms over and over again. Despite all this searching, I never went past the first page of search results. Yet another testament to the power of strategic SEO.
3) Loyalty. Although there were probably hundreds of places to get information about this storm yesterday, I repeatedly turned to the sources that I’ve known for years. Was their information more accurate? Hard to say. But was it more trusted? Absolutely. There’s value to be found in the relationships that you’ve spent years building.
4) Infographics. I was looking for as much information as possible, but the rest of my life was not put on hold so I could read articles several pages long. I was most drawn to the sources that boiled the information down to short, simple images and interactive graphics. There are great examples on the New York Times site today. Even when there isn’t a crisis, infographics and images are a powerful way to connect with audiences.
What did you learn from this storm? What will you remember when the next storm (literal or otherwise) hits your organization? | <urn:uuid:c96caec4-bc74-4976-81bb-f3b5bda66c23> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aha.elliance.com/2012/10/30/after-the-storm/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.967402 | 494 | 1.726563 | 2 |

One present early morning, lots of senior and disabled individuals, some propped on walkers and canes, gathered at Small Loans Inc. Various had lent funds from tiny Loans and switched over their Social Security benefits to repay the lender that is high-interest. Now these people were waiting around for their “allowance” – their check that is monthly Small Loans’ cut.
The audience represents the twist that is newest for a fast-growing industry – loan providers which make high-interest loans, categorised as “payday” loans, being guaranteed by upcoming paychecks. Such loan providers are increasingly focusing on recipients of Social safety along with other federal government benefits, including impairment and veterans’ advantages.
“These people constantly receive money, rain or shine,” claims William Harrod, a manager that is former of loan shops in residential district Virginia and Washington, D.C. national beneficiaries “will usually have cash, every thirty day period.”
The law bars the national government from delivering a receiver’s benefits right to lenders. However, many of these loan providers are forging relationships with banking institutions and organizing for potential borrowers to own their advantages checks deposited straight into bank records. The banking institutions instantly move federal government funds into the loan providers. The financial institution then subtracts financial obligation repayments, plus charges and interest, before offering the recipients a dime.
These lenders, which pitch loans with effective annual interest as high as 400 percent, can gain almost total control over Social Security recipients’ finances as a result.
There are not any statistics that are publicly available the percentage of pay day loans which are supported by Social safety along with other federal government advantages. But a large number of legal-aid solicitors, senior solution teams and credit counselors around the world state these are generally seeing increasingly more consumers on Social protection suffering numerous pay day loans.
The Treasury Department, faced with making certain Social protection repayments reach beneficiaries, claims privacy guidelines forbid it from monitoring recipients’ bank reports without cause. Personal Security management officials state that the agency is not accountable for benefits when paid and therefore beneficiaries whom come across issues should consult legal counsel.
Convenient or predatory?
Many lenders that are payday clustered around government-subsidized housing for seniors in addition to disabled, in accordance with an analysis of information through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban developing. The investigation had been carried out by Steven Graves, a geographer at Ca State University at Northridge, during the Wall Street Journal’s request. (their previous work ended up being cited by the Department of Defense with its work to cap the quantities loan providers may charge army workers.)
Loan providers state they supply a useful solution.
“This industry provides access that is convenient lower amounts of cash,” stated Tommy Moore, professional vice president for the Community Financial Services Association of America, which states it represents about 60 per cent of pay day loan shops. “It certainly would not be suitable for the company to discriminate against them for regardless of the way to obtain their earnings is.”
However some industry experts state fixed-income borrowers are lucrative. Usually senior or disabled, they typically rely on little fixed incomes and therefore are seldom in a position to spend down their loans quickly.
“It is in contrast to they are able to work more time,” states David Rothstein, an analyst at Policy issues https://fastcashcartitleloans.com/payday-loans-al/ Ohio, an research that is economic in Cleveland. “They may be caught.”
Harrod had been a manager of a Check ‘n Go shop across the road from Fort Lincoln Senior Citizen’s Village, a subsidized-housing complex when it comes to disabled and elderly in Washington, D.C. Harrod claims he had been motivated by their supervisors to recruit older people, and did therefore by usually consuming their meal on nearby benches to hit up conversations aided by the complex’s residents. You will find at the very least four payday loan providers within a mile . 5 of Fort Lincoln, Graves’ analysis programs.
Harrod quit in August, concerned that the business exploited its customers and targeted groups that are vulnerable and started working together with teams looking for limitations on payday financing.
Yancy Deering of Check ‘n get, a product of CNG Holdings Inc., that has significantly more than 1,300 shops nationwide, stated the ongoing business does not target older people, but does not monitor just what percentage of clients be determined by federal government advantages.
Direct deposit made distinction
Personal protection recipients just weren’t constantly a natural marketplace for payday loan providers, which typically need borrowers to own a bank-account and a normal revenue stream. For a long time, a lot of federal government beneficiaries lacked conventional bank reports, deciding to simply cash their checks alternatively.
But because of the late 1990s, the government that is federal needing personal safety beneficiaries to get their advantages by electronic deposit to a bank-account, unless they decide away.
The amount of recipients with direct deposit has soared to significantly more than 80 per cent, up from 56 per cent in 1996, therefore the national federal government is wanting to obtain the holdouts to engage.
No agency that is regulatory exactly how much Social protection cash is planning to loan providers as repayment for payday advances.
A 2006 research because of the customer Federation of America unearthed that one-fifth of these without old-fashioned bank reports are getting their federal government benefit checks through nonbanks, including payday loan providers that also run as check-cashing stores.
Payday lenders cash in
With direct deposit, Social protection recipients could now more easily pledge their future checks as security for little loans that are short-term. The industry mushroomed within the 1990s and continues to prosper.
Analysts estimate that cash advance amount has climbed to about $48-billion a from about $13.8-billion in 1999 year. Most payday lenders are little and personal. | <urn:uuid:6e711688-b415-48fd-aa49-1d1f42155ad2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.motobi.com/payday-lenders-have-actually-huge-fascination-with-7/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571222.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810222056-20220811012056-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.96388 | 1,236 | 2.0625 | 2 |
The young American rock climbing phenom, Ashima Shiraishi, becomes the youngest woman to send 5.14d. Some have suggested the route might be as hard as 5.15a.
Shiraishi is one of only a few climbers to have sent a route harder than 5.14c at the age of 13. Shiraishi is currently on spring break in Sprain. The route she sent, Open Your Mind Direct in Santa Linya, was recently upgraded from 5.14d because of a broken hold.
There is a chance Open Your Mind Direct is now 5.15a, meaning Shiraishi is the youngest person ever to send 5.15a.
At 11 years old, Shiraishi became the youngest 5.14b and 5.14c climber. Adam Ondra was the first 13-year-old to send 5.14d.
In 2005, Josune Bereziartu made the second ascent of Bimbaluna 9a/9a+ (5.14d/15a). If indeed Open Your Mind Direct is 5.15a then Shiraishi is the first woman to send a solid 5.15a, not bad for 13 years old! | <urn:uuid:16806ddf-a970-439d-9faa-6c171bab28e1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gripped.com/news/ashima-shiraishi-sends-5-14d/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.949148 | 252 | 1.804688 | 2 |

Nvidia’s RTX 3000 cards are amongst the most powerful GPUs that consumers have access to in the current market. However, with so many different options available and confusing model names, picking out the right GPU can be a confusing process.
Today we’ll be jumping into the differences between two of Nvidia’s most popular, and similarly named, cards – the 3060 and 3060Ti. We’ll be looking at what separates the cards in a GeekaWhat GPU Versus battle pitting the two graphics cards against each other!
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
|Memory Capacity||12GB GDDR6|
|Boost Clock Speed||1.78GHz|
|Release Date||February 2021|
|Price||Check Price on Amazon|
Nvidia’s RTX 3060 is one of the cards that launched mid-way in the RTX 3000 series line-up, boasting slightly better specs than the 3050, and falling underneath Nvidia’s own 3060Ti. This particular card positions itself in the budget market, but still offers users slightly better performance than the 3050 with legs to play some games at 1440p.
In terms of competition, this card rivals AMD’s RX 6600XT, and the later released 6650XT. While this GPU has a similar amount of ‘raw’ power as much of its AMD competition on paper, Nvidia cards massively benefit from software optimisations such as DLSS, which help them pull ahead un lots of titles.
Generally the 3060 is better off at 1080p gaming, where it can achieve great frame rates across a huge range of games. The card also supports Nvidia’s Ray Tracing tech, which works well at 1080p, but is limited at any higher resolutions, due to the required performance overhead.
As far as specs go, the 3060 is as impressive on paper as it is in practice. With a large 12GB of GDDR6 memory, which is actually more than its beefier brother the 3060Ti, it is well equipped. Clock speeds are quite impressive too, with a nearly 1.7GHz boost clock speed, and 3584 CUDA cores. The TDP is also relatively low, meaning you can run this card using a cheaper, lower wattage PSU.
Pricing for this card is very reasonable, and you can currently pick up a 3060 for MSRP if you shop around. The 3060 is very competitively priced and as such, if you’re building a budget PC, we’d definitely recommend picking one up for 1080p, high-settings gaming.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060Ti
|Memory Capacity||8GB GDDR6|
|Boost Clock Speed||1.67GHz|
|Release Date||December 2020|
|Price||Check Price on Amazon|
The RTX 3060Ti was one of the more exciting launches of the RTX 3000 line-up, due to it being the first time Nvidia have released a ‘Ti’ variant of their budget ’60’-tier GPU. The card aims to deliver a solid performance bump over the RTX 3060, while sitting at a more affordable price point than the higher-end RTX 3070.
The 3060Ti offers performance above what is required for most at 1080p, with far greater abilities at 1440p than the standard RTX 3060. It also boasts far more legs for Ray Tracing than the RTX 3060, with the extra raw power helping to offset the performance overhead of the real-world lighting tech.
Hardware wise, strangely the 3060Ti has less VRAM than the 3060. But what the 3060Ti lacks in VRAM it makes up for in CUDA cores. Despite the 3060 having slightly better clocks speeds, the 3060Ti performs better overall due to the considerable upgrade in CUDA cores.
In terms of pricing, the 3060Ti will cost you considerably more than a 3060, but provides a very solid performance bump. The major advantage of spending the extra on this card is its legs for gaming at 1440p. For those looking to push resolution that bit further, the RTX 3060Ti is undoubtedly the better bet.
Here, Nvidia have redefined what consumers have come to expect from a ’60’-tier GPU. You can read our full review of the Gigabyte RTX 3060Ti Eagle OC here.

Our Testing Methodology
Whenever we get new new components or products we always put them through their paces by testing them with games and popular benchmarking tools. Within this, we also strive to inform and educate consumers about these components by keeping the technical jargon to a minimum. The benchmarks we conduct will always be a fair test, using similarly performing components. For example, you wouldn’t pair one of Intel‘s Core i3 CPUs with a high-end GPU like a 6950XT or 3090Ti as this would cause bottlenecking. As such we pick the best CPU and GPU pairings for our tests, and balance the other hardware in our testing rigs in line with this.
All of the benchmarks we conduct use a range of the latest and most popular Triple A and Esports titles. The complete benchmark runs also feature on our benchmarking YouTube channel, ‘Benched’. There you’ll find our gameplay runs for all of the latest GPUs (and some older cards, too!)
First off in Apex Legends, both cards performed very well at 1440P, high settings. The 3060Ti delivered 132 frames per second, something which will be beneficial to those competitive, FPS gamers. The 3060 followed behind with just over 100FPS. This is a decent figure, but does shot the large gap between it and the 3060Ti performance-wise.
In Valorant, both of these Nvidia GPUs hit giddy sights, with impressive frame rates delivered by both GPUs. Once again, the 3060Ti pulled a more than solid lead against the 3060, showing its extra GPU horsepower. Valorant tends to be relatively well optimised as a general rule, but these framerates prove how powerful these cards are, and by comparison against AMD‘s GPU offerings.
In Grand Theft Auto 5, both the 3060 and 3060Ti held up well, with the 3060Ti pulling a pretty dramatic lead. GTA V isn’t always a great test, due to its age and corresponding lack of optimisation for new cards.
Both the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060Ti demonstrated very playable frame rates that surpassed 110 and 130 frames per second respectively.
In Fortnite we’ve turned down the settings to 1080p and thrown DLSS into the mix to provide a more competitive edge. Both cards did very well overall, as we would expect art these sorts of settings. The RTX 3060 pulled ahead of its AMD 6600XT counterpart, while the 3060Ti, astonishingly, outperformed the AMD RX 6800.
For maximum frame rate, the 3060Ti is always going to be the better bet, but the regular RTX 3060 certainly wins out in cost per frame rate metrics here.
Gaming PC Builds
All of the new GPUs that we receive get shown off in a PC build on our channel or in an article here on the site, and both of these graphics cards have featured into gaming systems that we’ve put together in the past. These videos will show you how to build a brilliant gaming PC, along with some gaming benchmarks that provide context on how a similar system will perform.
Best RTX 3060 $1000 Gaming PC
Best $1200 Gaming PC Build
The answer to which of these GPUs is best is pretty easy, they’re both fantastic choices, but the 3060Ti takes the cake for us. It wins out not because it provides better performance (it’s higher price tag should leave you expecting that at a minimum), but because it punches so highly above its weight. Knocking on the door of the RTX 3070, this is a card that redefines Nvidia’s mainstream ’60’-tier of GPU.
We can’t exactly say that one card is better than the other, because they’re both positioned in different areas of the market. The 3060 is geared more towards users that are building a budget PC but might take a chance with 1440P. The 3060Ti sits more in the mid-range market offering stellar performance in both 1080P and 1440P settings.
Regardless, either of these GPUs will be an excellent choice for your PC, and based on the fact that you can pick up either of them for MSRP they’re definitely worth grabbing if you’re looking to build a budget or mid-range PC. | <urn:uuid:58eda4ca-3f29-442a-84a0-8f2526ac7fbc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://geekawhat.co.uk/nvidia-rtx-3060-vs-nvidia-rtx-3060ti-which-gpu-is-best/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.929104 | 1,912 | 1.71875 | 2 |
Convert Your Fireplace to Natural Gas with a Fireplace Insert
A fireplace insert is like a wood stove that has been modified to fit within the firebox of a regular fireplace. These “inserts” are used to convert drafty fireplaces, which are energy inefficient and pollute the environment, into an effective heating system.
A fireplace insert is a firebox surrounded by a steel shell and there are several options for converting: a gas fireplace kit, a vent-free gas fireplace and a gas fireplace insert. These options don’t involve structural changes, but there are differences in aesthetics and energy efficiency. Installation costs usually include hooking up to a gas line within 10 feet.
An insert changes the function of a fireplace so you can enjoy the fire without worries. The glass doors are always shut because the fire chamber is sealed which gives you energy efficiency and it allows you to leave the fire running as long as you want.
A gas fireplace insert is used to convert a regular wood burning masonry fireplace into an effective gas heating system. The standard for an older home is a traditional wood burning fireplace which is inefficient and pollutes the environment.
A wood burning fireplace is just a big opening in the wall with a flue above it, which sends heat up the chimney instead of out into the room but an insert fills the gap that diverts the heat. A fireplace insert is a firebox surrounded by a steel shell that fits into an existing masonry fireplace, just like a stove.
This means that it will take the place of your masonry fireplace and connect to the chimney and flue leading outside. It is a low-cost option to install a gas fireplace rather than to replace your existing masonry fireplace to get better heating efficiency.
A good insert installation will last for years and is considered permanent because the liner and all the hardware supporting it is corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Gas inserts are versatile and can completely change the design of a room from traditional to modern to minimalist.
For conversions from wood-burning to gas, fireplace inserts can be installed in almost any existing masonry fireplace and are available in a variety of styles and designs to match the home’s decor. Natural gas fireplace inserts increase heating efficiency, maintain better air quality than wood-burning fireplaces and far outsell their cordwood counterparts.
Energy-conscious consumers are fueling the trend of gas fireplace inserts that provide zone heating for the spaces we use the most. Utility bills are less expensive when the thermostat is lower on a central furnace and a gas fireplace is used as a supplemental heat source.
Builders and contractors are avoiding masonry wood-burning fireplaces, which can lose up to 85 percent of the fire’s heat through the chimney and instead are utilizing highly efficient vented and ventless fireplace inserts that can heat thousands of square feet of space at a very low cost.
This ProCom Heating Full Size 32 Inch Vent Free Zero Clearance Fireplace Insert allows you to build a custom fireplace for your home. The insert is zero clearance approved so it can be framed without adding air gaps or spacing on the sides and top of the unit. You can pair it with a face mantel or recess it directly into a wall of your home. | <urn:uuid:8820610e-79e2-47da-af93-546291c41f80> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.usaprocom.com/convert-fireplace-natural-gas-fireplace-insert/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.893977 | 671 | 1.78125 | 2 |

Although there are variations between the equipment used at each Veolia facility all lamp-recycling processes utilize a dry separation process. Each machine is capable of processing 20,000 to 40,000 4 foot lamps per 8 hour shift with an asset recovery rate of greater than 99%. Of total bulb weight, roughly 96% is recovered as glass, 2% as aluminum, less than 2% as phosphor powder and less than 1% as mercury for refining. Routine monitoring of mercury values in all recovered materials, through TCLP and total mercury testing techniques, is standard operating procedure. The system utilizes dry crushing, dry separation and dry filtration operations. Lamps are brought into the recycling area on wrapped pallets, within cardboard boxes or lamp fiber drums. The lamps are brought to the lamp feed staging area where they enter the recycling process. In-feed to the process consists of manually opening the packaged containers and placing the lamps into the feed mechanism. The lamps are conveyed into a chamber where a breaker performs an initial particle size reduction of the lamps. Broken lamp pieces are then crushed to achieve a greater particle size reduction and transferred to a primary separator to separate the larger components (aluminum end caps). The remaining components are then further separated generating three process streams: glass cullet, glass fines, and phosphor powder.
The Vapor Collection System is designed to control mercury vapor and dust emissions from the process. The vapor collection system is comprised of a bag house/cartridge filter equipped with a series of particulate filters, an air compressor for filter back purge, and an activated carbon vessel. The system draws mercury vapor and dust from the process equipment into the bag house. The filter arrangement is designed to trap over 99% of air-borne particles measuring 0.5 microns or larger. Dust accumulates in containers located underneath the bag house. The air stream leaving the bag house then passes through a sulfur-impregnated carbon vessel to further remove mercury vapors. Each stack is monitored using a real-time mercury vapor-monitoring instrument in accordance with facility’s specific operating permit/plan.
Ballast Recycling Process
In-feed to the process consists of whole lamp ballast in drums. Before any processing operations occur the ballast are placed into a freezer. The temperature achieved in the freezing operation causes the potting compound inside the ballast to become brittle, aiding in the separation of the potting compound from the remainder of the ballast. Non-leaking ballast are supplied to a primary operator who shears the ends off the ballast. The base of the ballast is then manually separated from the cover and the contents ballast removed. The contents consist of three main components: the capacitor, the transformer section, and the potting compound. The potting compound and the capacitors are containerized for shipment to an off-site TSCA approved facility.
The transformer sections and metal casings proceed to a process area where additional potting compound is manually removed. The additional potting compound is combined with potting compound previously removed from ballast. Ballast casings are then decontaminated using a physical removal process. The decontaminated casings are next tested to ensure the effectiveness of the decontamination procedure. After analytical results have been received documenting that the casings have been sufficiently decontaminated, the casings are sold as scrap metal. The transformer sections are separated into two categories of material: wire windings and transformer cores. The wire windings are either manually or chemically decontaminated, depending on the facility. The decontaminated wires are also tested to ensure the effectiveness of the decontamination procedure. After analytical results have been received documenting the wires have been sufficiently decontaminated, the wire is sold as a scrap metal.
Battery Recycling Process
Batteries are received and sorted into like chemistry types. Mercury containing batteries are distilled or retorted onsite and the retorted mercury is recovered as a product. All other batteries are shipped to various licensed and approved vendors for reclamation, recovery and recycling.
Mercury Waste Process
All materials received are manually inspected. Preprocessing steps recover valuable non-contaminated recyclables such as glass, metals, and plastics. The remaining contaminated mercury debris is then retorted under vacuum. Retort time, temperature and cycle are dependent upon the composition of material to be retorted. Mercury from the retort operations is collected in a system tank and from this tank, 76-pound or metric ton mercury flasks are filled. Mercury is accumulated and shipped to a mercury supply house for purification and packaged for resale.
Electronic equipment is received and sorted into groups by electronic components. All miscellaneous equipment is shipped domestically for re-use, refurbishment, or recycle where monitors are de-manufactured and bald CRTs are shipped to a domestic leaded glass recycler for re-use. Various components, copper, ferrous metal and insulated wire are shipped off site for recycle. Processing units are sorted and refurbished or de-manufactured into precious metals, circuit boards, power supplies and disk drives. | <urn:uuid:6c365395-fc1f-4142-ac6b-e289795016cb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://evolutionecycling.veoliaes.com/about_us/recycling-process | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573744.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819161440-20220819191440-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.937121 | 1,053 | 2.390625 | 2 |

When Barbara Schwartz looks back at her younger days working as a Broadway stagehand, she remembers the electricity of it: the harried dancers slipping into their costumes backstage, the props people shoving past with flashlights between their teeth.
She was able to throw herself into that high-pressure career, she said, because of a choice she made in 1976. She got an abortion at a clinic she found in the Yellow Pages. It was three years after the Roe v. Wade ruling established the constitutional right to an abortion; to Ms. Schwartz, the world seemed full of new professional opportunities for women. She got a credit card in her own name, became one of the first women to make it into the local stagehand union and joined the throngs backstage at shows including “Cats” and “Miss Saigon.”
Ms. Schwartz, 69, is now retired. She is spending her retirement years escorting women to the doors of an abortion clinic on the border of Virginia and Tennessee. She was drawn to this volunteer work, she said, because to her, the promise from her 20s has dimmed — the result of laws that have chipped away at abortion access, with a leaked draft Supreme Court ruling this past week revealing that Roe is likely to be overturned.
“This is my giant pay it forward,” Ms. Schwartz said.
That is how Ginny Jelatis, 67, thinks about it too. She was of high school senior age the year Roe v. Wade was decided; she began serving as a clinic escort after retiring from her work as a history professor in 2016.
“I feel like my life is perfectly framed by this issue,” Ms. Jelatis said. “I became an adult at 18, and here I am in my 60s still fighting this fight.”
To women like Ms. Jelatis, who entered adulthood in the early 1970s, the world of work and opportunity was changing rapidly. Women’s labor force participation went from about 43 percent in 1970 to 57.4 percent in 2019. Many different factors drove women into the work force in greater numbers in those years, but scholars argue that abortion access was an important one.
“There’s no question that legal abortion makes it possible for women in all classes and races to have some control over their economic lives and ability to work outside the home,” said Rosalind Petchesky, a retired professor of political science at Hunter College, whose research was cited in the Supreme Court’s 1992 ruling in the case Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which reaffirmed Roe.
Those women who entered the workplace just after Roe are now reaching retirement age. Some of them, like Carolyn McLarty, a retired veterinarian, are more committed than ever to their anti-abortion advocacy. Some, like Ms. Schwartz, look back and feel their careers are indebted to the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision, and the reproductive choices it opened up to women. So they are spending their retirement years working as abortion clinic escorts.
The experience of older clinic escorts, shared in interviews over the course of recent months, shows what Roe meant for a cohort: Women who fought in support of abortion access when they were on the cusp of specific adulthood, and whose working lives were shaped by the opportunities they believe that Roe afforded them.
From Opinion: A Challenge to Roe v. wade
Commentary by Times Opinion writers and columnists on the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
“My God, it’s all been brought back,” said Debra Knox Deiermann, 67, a clinic escort in the St. Louis area. “I just can’t believe young women won’t be able to access what we had.”
Many women who were beginning their families or careers as Roe was decided have also fought hard against legal abortion, their adult lives book-ended by a decision they found appalling then and are heartened to see on its way to being overturned. According to Gallup, in 1975, 18 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 29 believed that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances; by last year, in that same cohort of women, now aged 63 to 75, the figure was 23 percent.
A Pew Research poll in 2021 found that 59 percent of Americans said they believed abortion should be legal in all or most cases, and 39 percent said it should be illegal in all or most cases. Recent Pew data indicates that women are slightly more likely than men to say abortion should be legal in all cases, and younger people, between the ages of 18 and 29, are far more likely than older adults to say abortion should be legal in some or all cases.
Bound4Life, a grass-roots anti-abortion group, estimates that one-fifth of its volunteers are retirees. Eagle Forum, an anti-abortion group, which reaches out to people across the age spectrum, estimates that most of its volunteers are 55 and older.
“They are almost the only age group that responds to our emails and take action when we send out alerts to call their elected officials,” Tabitha Walter, Eagle Forum’s political director, said in an email to The Times.
Some are motivated by the tectonic cultural and legal changes on abortion that they have witnessed, and in some cases driven, over the course of their careers.
“I’ve seen the pendulum swing from very conservative to out of hand rejecting God,” said Ms. McLarty, 71, who volunteers as the secretary of the board for Eagle Forum, and has been involved in the Oklahoma Republican Party. “The younger generation is seeing how they’ve been deceived on a lot of things.”
Ms. McLarty said she knows that changes in abortion law over her lifetime have coincided with women’s increased participation in the work force. But for her own part, she wishes she had devoted less time to her career and more to parenting.
“Looking back, I probably would have spent more time at home,” said Ms. McLarty, who worked part-time when her children were young. “There are different times in your life for different chapters.”
The last half-century has brought a host of cultural changes that facilitated women’s entrance into the work force. New technologies created new clerical roles, many of which went to women; high school graduation rates rose; the stigma attached to married women in the workplace decreased. But sociologists and economists argue that legal abortion is a singularly important factor, giving many women the option to delay starting families and save money in early adulthood.
Understand the State of Roe v. wade
What is Roe v. Wade? Roe v. Wade is a landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion across the United States. The 7-2 ruling was announced on Jan. 22, 1973. Justice Harry A. Blackmun, a modest Midwestern Republican and a defender of the right to abortion, wrote the majority opinion.
Recent research has tried to understand the role of abortion access plays in women’s employment. Most notable is the Turnaway Study, conducted at the University of California, San Francisco. Researchers followed two groups of women — a group that wanted and got abortions, and another that wanted abortions and were unable to obtain them — for five years and found that those unable to get abortions had worse economic outcomes. Almost two-thirds of those who did not have an abortion they had sought out were living in poverty six months later, compared with 45 percent of those who got the procedure.
The overturn of Roe would mean women across the country face a patchwork of state laws on abortion access, with 13 states set to ban abortion immediately or very quickly after the court’s ruling. There is likely a correlation between the regions of the country where it is most difficult to get an abortion, and those with the fewest child care and parental leave options, according to an analysis of research findings from the financial site WalletHub.
For older women who felt they were able to attain financial stability because of the decision to have an abortion, there is resonance in sharing their stories with the younger women they meet at clinics today.
“The older folks I work with can remember that dread of, ‘My God, what if it happens to me?'” said Ms. Deiermann, who spent most of her career working in reproductive health advocacy.
Many clinic volunteers, like Ms. Deiermann, remember when their classmates and friends got illegal abortions. Telling those stories feels more urgent than ever.
Karen Kelley, 67, a retired labor and delivery nurse in Idaho, who volunteers at an abortion clinic there, spent her childhood aligned with her Roman Catholic family’s anti-abortion views. Then she found herself pregnant in her early 20s, without an income to support a baby. Realizing that motherhood could “derail all her hopes,” she chose to terminate that pregnancy, about six years after Roe.
That’s a memory Ms. Kelley conveys to the women she escorts to the clinic’s steps. “If I’m asked, I’m always honest that I understand how they’re feeling because I had an abortion and they have every right to make the decision,” she said.
And some older women said that the position they’re in now — retired, with savings and stability — is something they trace back to Roe.
“It gave us a chance to decide to marry and have a family later,” said Eileen Ehlers, 74, a retired high school English teacher and a mother.
What Roe gave her, she said, is something she can now pour back into volunteering: “We have time.” | <urn:uuid:1881f476-378b-46c6-9dab-63e09d88df07> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://onlyloudest.com/how-roe-shaped-the-world-of-work-for-women.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.977193 | 2,055 | 1.835938 | 2 |
Our daily lives are run by algorithms. Whether we’re shopping online, deciding what to watch, booking a flight, or just trying to get across town, artificial intelligence is involved. It’s safe to say we rely on algorithms, but do we actually trust them?
Up front: Yes. We do. A trio of researchers from the University of Georgia recently conducted a study to determine whether humans are more likely to trust an answer they believe was generated by an algorithm or crowd-sourced from humans.
The results indicated that humans were more likely to trust algorithms when problems become too complex for them to trust their own answers.
Background: We all know that, to some degree or another, we’re beholden to the algorithm. We tend to trust that Spotify and Netflix know how to entertain us. So it’s not surprising that humans would choose answers based on the sole distinction that they’ve been labeled as being computer-generated.
But the interesting part isn’t that we trust machines, it’s that we trust them when we probably shouldn’t.
How it works: The researchers tapped 1,500 participants for the study. Participants were asked to look at a series of images and determine how many people were in each image. As the number of people in the image increased, humans gained less confidence in their answers and were offered the ability to align their responses with either crowd-sourced answers from a group of thousands of people, or answers they were told had been generated by an algorithm.
Per the study:
In three preregistered online experiments, we found that people rely more on algorithmic advice relative to social influence as tasks become more difficult. All three experiments focused on an intellective task with a correct answer and found that subjects relied more on algorithmic advice as difficulty increased. This effect persisted even after controlling for the quality of the advice, the numeracy and accuracy of the subjects, and whether subjects were exposed to only one source of advice, or both sources.
The problem here is that AI isn’t very well suited for a task such as counting the number of humans in an image. It may sound like a problem built for a computer – it’s math-based, after all – but the fact of the matter is that AI often struggles to identify objects in images especially when there aren’t clear lines of separation between objects of the same type.
Quick take: The research indicates the general public is probably a little confused about what AI can do. Algorithms are getting stronger and AI has become an important facet of our everyday lives, but it’s never a good sign when the average person seems to believe a given answer is better just because they think it was generated by an algorithm.

Flying Saucers - (UFO Sighting)
From reader - Michael
Maine, United States
Date submitted - 8/7/2021
In the summer of 1966 my father, mother, sister and I witnessed three flying saucers. They were about three miles over the ocean to the southeast of Northeast Harbor, ME. towards the Cranberry isles. The sun was glinting off their hulls and they hung motionless for what seemed like 20 minutes, when the one on the left suddenly sped off in a flash, then the one on the right sped away, and the one in the middle just disappeared. All four of us witnessed them, I'll never forget it,the sun was shining off them like it would off an airplane, but definitely not conventional aircraft. Years later a friend of mine collaborated this sighting. She saw them too from Seal Harbor beach about 5 miles to the east of us looking towards Cranberry islands. I can still close my eyes and see them to this day, (56 years ago) also as anecdotal another friend who was a volunteer fireman in Northeast Harbor told me that he and the a few other men @ the firehouse witnessed what he referred to as " ball lighting " floated through the firehouse the big doors were open and the back door was open to let the breeze come in,( hot summer, no AC back then) it floated in and out the back door. He thought it was ball lightning but there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SHARING
“I moved into the home I live in now 4 years ago. I've moved around a lot in my life but this experience was entirely different. I felt a draw to this place that was like someone was pulling my by the wrist. I've never experienced anything like it. I have a child who died very young and I was convinced it was him. The first night I slept here I woke up in the middle of the night sat straight up and said out loud, there is so much love in this house.
After getting settled I started noticing odd noises for no apparent reason. Specifically, the sound of a cat jumping from a high spot to the hardwood floor. I have a cat but he's outside a lot and I would hear it all the time. One day I was sitting on my sofa and I heard that sound and looked over and my cat was laying on the floor, he looked for the cause of the sound too. Lights would flicker, it's an old house I'd tell myself, old wiring.
A few days later I was vacuuming, stopped and turned off the vacuum then walked around the corner and the vacuum turned on by itself. I thought that's it, I want to look into this. I found a local paranormal society and reached out to them, explained what was going on and just asked for some advice on how to handle it. He asked if they could come and check it out. Four people showed up one night, two of them were psychic's, they brought camera's and special sound equipment. They setup their equipment and spent a few hours here. The psychic's felt the presence, there were more than one and they captured some interesting photo's. Most of the activity was in the basement but there was something about the garage and this one area in the backyard. The psychic said that when she stood in one spot she felt this heavy weight, an indicator of a presence. At one point we were all in the basement and each one of them said they saw the veil and it was open. I had never heard of the veil and can't say that I saw it but definitely felt something like increased air pressure.
All said and done and not to make too long a story of the details, they told me I had some residual spirits that did not cross over. They were harmless and if they acted up they told me to acknowledge them. If they became a nuisance to tell them to stop doing the thing that annoyed me. They also said that they would become active if I did renovations. I followed their advice and rarely even think about it anymore. I have a cool picture of an orb in the basement and some strange ultraviolet, or heat signature pics of the garage they couldn't quite figure out. The lights rarely flicker anymore."

A Rural UFO Sighting...
“I live in a very rural area on a 106 acre farm, in Harrodsburg Ky. On June 21, 2021, on my farm, I was checking on my cats on my front porch, I saw what initially appeared to be a tall building, similar to what one may see in a down town area. It looked to me to be about 8 stories tall. It did not have windows but the flat surface was black and reminded me of a giant TV screen. There were bright which blue lights across the screen about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom and down both sides from where these lights were to the bottom. After about 10 minutes it moved down my driveway and stopped about 40 ft from my front porch. It moved slowly and without any sound. It stayed in this position for about ten minutes then lifted over some trees and moved across my neighbors bottom land then floated up and over trees that lined the Chaplin river the disappeared over a hill. At one point I ran in and got my I phone but the photo came back black. Since then it has turned red. I reported it to MUFON and a navel base out west."

White Bunny Ear Cactus
|Sr No.||Product Name|
|1||White bunny ear cactus|
**THIS PLANT COMES WITH BASIC BLACK POT**
Bunny ears cactus (Opuntia microdasys) originated in Mexico and is a denizen of arid, desert-like areas. Growing bunny ears cactus is as simple as mimicking its native regional conditions. So if you have a dry, low humidity home and plenty of sunny exposure, bunny ears cactus plant might be the perfect plant for you. Named for its visual appearance, the Bunny Ear Cactus, also called the Polka-Dot Cactus, has the scientific name of Opuntia microdasys. The spines come off with a simple touch, and are best removed from flesh with tweezers.
|Common Name||Bunny ears, Angel`s wings, golden-bristle cactus, polka-dot cactus.|
|Maximum Reachable Height||Up to 3 to 4 ft|
|Bloom Time||April to May|
|Difficulty Level||Easy to grow|
Planting And Care
- Keep in a bright sunny location.
- Try not to water the leaves, give water to soil only.
- Avoid overwatering as the roots may get rot.
- Water the plant in a morning, between 8 to 10 am.
- Avoid keeping in suffocated areas or in dark room.
- While, re-potting or propagating try not to disturb the roots.
Buuny Ear Cactus Care
- These plants are a gardener’s dream for their low maintenance and interesting appearance.
- Water can be the death of the plant but it does need consistent moisture during the growing season.
- Bunny ears cactus should be repotted every 1 to 2 years. Wait at least a week after repotting to water the plant. Re-pot when the plant performs clump and goes beyond the pot size. It should be done before or after the rainy season and in the spring season.R e-pot with the following proportions: 3 parts of potting soil, 1 part of grit (pumice), 1 part of the horticultural-grade sand, 1/2 part of the compost etc.
|Sunlight||Full sun, partial sun, at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day.|
|Watering||Low for the rainy season, More than moderate for a summer. Water the plant when the top one inch of soil is dry. Allow the water to drain out of the pot and remove any excess from the saucer. During fall and winter, water lightly only every 3 to 4 weeks.|
|Soil||Avoid excess organic contents in the soil.|
|Temperature||Ideal: 22 to 35 degrees C|
|Fertilizer||Not needed much. A peat-based compost should not be used. Fertilize the plant every other water period during spring and summer with a diluted houseplant food or cactus formula|
- Occasionally, the plant will be beleaguered by pests such as mealybugs and scale insects. Combat these with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. Other than these steps, bunny ears cactus care is limited, and the plant should reward you with its abundant pads and interesting features for years.

An important information security standard has been revised
Continuous Control: Newly launched guidance on information security management controls
A newly revised international cybersecurity standard is helping information security professionals consider and implement information security controls to address the latest information security risks. This blog post describes what the revised standard offers, and the benefits businesses will gain from using it.
In a world where data security is essential for every organization and given the rate of change in technology and cyber security risks, keeping systems and processes up to date with the changing information security landscape needs to be a priority.
BS EN ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Information Security, Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection – Information Security Controls is the newly-revised international standard providing guidance on the selection and implementation of security controls for use within an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based the requirements in BS EN ISO/IEC 27001.
The revision of this standard brings a modern approach to managing security controls with attributes. It includes the introduction of themes and attributes, as well as updating the candidate controls to reflect current information security concerns and practices. BS EN ISO/IEC 27002:2022 aims to provide businesses, of every size and sector, with a new generation of security control guidance, with the aim of making the guidance modernised, simplified and versatile to granting organisations the autonomy to select and scope security controls as deemed fit.
How do standards BS EN ISO/IEC 27002 and BS EN ISO/IEC 27001 work together?
BS EN ISO/IEC 27001 provides the essential components and structure for your organization to achieve effective information security management. One of these essential components is the deployment of appropriate information security controls. These controls need to be carefully assessed and considered based on your organization’s risk profile and needs, with the new BS EN ISO/IEC 27002 providing the most appropriate control set to consider.
BS EN ISO/IEC 27002, on information security controls, serves as a guidance document to help organizations determine and implement recognized information security controls within their information security management system. The guidance within this standard was developed by a committee of international and UK industry experts, based on international consensus on what constitutes best practices.
So what has changed?
Though BS EN ISO/IEC 27002:2022 is no longer self-described as a “code of practice”, its intended purpose has not changed. It continues to be a “reference handbook”, providing a referenceable set of information security controls by achieving a comprehensive coverage of the ways in which information security controls can be described.
The newly revised standard aims to ensure that no necessary control has been overlooked and that the guidance is consolidated into four key areas, making it easier for businesses to adopt. These four pillars of control are: Organizational, People, Physical, Technological.
As a result, within the revised standard, users will find that there has been a re-structure of the existing controls and the number of security control listed has decreased from 114 to 93, with some controls being removed as they no longer reflect best practices.
11 new controls have been introduced, 24 controls have been merged and 58 control were updated in the latest version of the BS EN ISO/IEC 27002 standard. These reflect the evolvement in technologies and industrial practices including threat intelligence, information security for use of cloud services and data leakage prevention. This will ensure that businesses are able to maintain continuous control over their information security, despite the nature of cyberattacks changing.
Steve Watkins, Chair of IST 33, says “The welcome update of ISO/IEC 27002 brings the control options and descriptions up to date and introduces the concepts of themes and attributes to assist organisations in their selection and deployment of them to manage cyber security risks.”
To help users of the previous version of BS EN ISO/IEC 27002:2013 know how to apply the updated 2021 guidance, a new 27002 Annex A demonstrates the use of attributes as a way of creating different views of the controls. Additionally, a new Annex B includes references to the 2013 edition control identifiers to provide backwards compatibility.
Why should businesses adopt these changes?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most businesses have been forced to accelerate their digital transformation and rely more on their cloud infrastructure, as many of their employees continue to adapt and move towards a hybrid work model.
Whilst organizations were finding their feet amongst these rapid changes, cybercriminals were finding ways to exploit vulnerabilities within these new systems with ever more sophisticated technology.
Given how many workplaces and day-to-day business operations have digitalized over the pandemic, how does BS EN ISO/IEC 27002:2022 support organizations to achieve effective information security management in today’s high-risk environment?
Importantly, this standard assists organisations with the identification, implementation and management of up-to-date information security controls in the current environment. These controls will include policies, rules, processes, procedures, organizational structures, and software and hardware solutions.
This helps businesses identify suitable and proportionate controls that are sustainable and that work to increase the overall appropriateness of their information security management systems.
In order to reap the full benefits of this revised standard, each organization should review and consider the new candidate control set specified in BS EN ISO/IEC 27002:2022 as appropriate to their businesses changing needs. | <urn:uuid:2c9f1c98-f85a-4d85-ae86-0b36c25d068c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bsigroup.com/nl-NL/Over-BSI/nieuws-en-persberichten/Nieuwsberichten/nieuwsberichten-2022/an-important-information-security-standard-has-been-revised/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.922467 | 1,104 | 1.960938 | 2 |
Slivovice is one of those drinks where you have a love-hate relationship. You either love it to death or you hate it so much that one thought about it makes you regret every decision in your life. Nevertheless, we all love this spirit to keep the party going, have deep talks, and unforgettable moments with family and friends.
We decided to re-discover the origin of Slivovice and here is what we found out!
What the heck is Slivovice?
Slivovice is a hard liquor that is inclined to be an integral part of Eastern European culture. In simple words, it is a plum brandy.Mostly, it is made from damson plums.
Most families even produce it by themselves rather than buying it in the stores. So, the volume of local and private production of liquor might be even greater than the commercial one.
Slivovice: A quick history course
Did you know that Slivovice became a national Moravian drink? We neither! Apparently, the liquor is extremely popular in that part of the Czech Republic as it is strongly presented in traditions, culture, songs, TV shows, and even movies!
It is not a surprise that Slivovice is mostly produced in these regions of the country. Sometimes, the production is kept illegal as traditional home distilleries still exist. Nevertheless, most people prefer to use certified community-owned products in order to prevent the potential error in the distillation process that could lead to a high concentration of methanol.
The percentage of slivovice also depends on how you produce it. For personal use, it is more likely that slivovice will be 50% or more. From the business perspective, it is the other side of the scale, meaning 50% or less.
Serving the drink should be done appropriately as well. In fact, you should keep it cold to prolong the effects of the drink. However, you should serve it at room temperature to enjoy the aroma and the fruit’s taste better.
Originally, the word slivovice comes from the Proto-Slavic language – slivovitz. If we break it down into two parts, we will get ‘sliva’ which can be translated into “plum’ and the ending ‘-ice’.
Interestingly, all the spirits in this category have almost the same names. The only difference is the fruit from which the hard liquor is made. As a vivid example, meruňkovice is the apricot spirit (‘meruňka’ means ‘apricot’). The code is cracked!

Many of us will have experienced that sense of awe that a puppet can generate. Children are not always massively bothered about listening to what the grown up is about to say, but a puppet – well, that’s quite a different story!
I really do find it like magic. They sit and stare when the puppet comes out, and so use this magic to its full advantage!
There are many things that you can teach with puppets – phonics, listening, social skills, and especially maths. But how can you do it?
Puppets can be used to teach a range of maths skills. Finger puppets really help with teaching counting songs. Larger puppets can be used to teach counting, missing numbers and other skills like starting counting at a given number. Puppets can also be utilised very effectively to teach more advanced skills like problem solving, sharing, and simple addition and subtraction.
Read on to find out my favourite fourteen maths activities that use puppets:
1. Use finger puppets with a song
This takes a bit of preparation either to make the finger puppets or buy them.
Lots of counting songs have five as their opening number. This is because we have five fingers on one hand, and so it is easy for children to manipulate this number on their fingers.
Good songs to try the finger puppets strategy are classics like Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer, or Little Speckled Frogs. Simply put the five frog puppets on your fingers, for example, sing the song, and then take one off.
Do lots of counting through the song – repeat, repeat, repeat. Also throw in lots of vocabulary like ‘now we’ve got one less’, ‘the number’s getting smaller’, ‘we’ve got fewer’, and all that kind of thing.
2. Use a puppet to count
Some kind of bigger puppet is required for this. You could even use a teddy or a similar toy.
The puppet is going to count in different ways. The children join in. Start off just counting from 1 nice and slowly.
This is one of my favorite rote counting games (check out the top 17 here).
3. A puppet misses a number out
A great introduction to missing numbers. The puppet counts but leaves one number out. For example, it says ‘1,2,3,4…6,7,8.’ I try to leave a nice big silent pause in the place where the number should be. What has he missed out?
4. He can go wrong!
Children love it when things go wrong! There is no greater joy than when a teacher makes a mistake, and the same can be applied to puppets.
Openly making mistakes and being honest about them is also a great thing for children to become aware of. Many children, like adults, fear making mistakes, and this can really hold them back.
To do this activity, the puppet simply counts, but something will go spectacularly wrong. For example, it might go ‘1,2,3,4,7.’
‘What went wrong? What number should have come after 4?’ If you can get the children to explain to the puppet where it is going wrong, it is beginning the process of reasoning, and explaining your mathematical thinking.
This game is an excellent introduction to missing numbers. It is also a fun way of consolidating rote couning (counting in sequence). If you want to find out more about what rote counting is (and how to teach it), then take a look at this.
5. Start counting on from a number given by the puppet
This is the next step, after the children have become reasonably secure in counting I would say at least well into the teens. It is then a good idea for them start at different numbers. The reasons for this are to add flexibility to their thinking, and also to begin to help them calculate and count on to add.
Have a box or bag of numbers. The puppet takes out a number, e.g. 6. We all try to count on from 6 together – 6,7,8,9,10,11. I always try to go past 10 as this is a useful skill in itself.
6. Word problems
Story telling with puppets is a great way to introduce word number problems. (Check out the ultimate storytelling with puppets games to try out here).
It particularly works well if the puppet is upset or angry! The children really want to get to the bottom of the puppet’s issues.
The puppet will whisper what’s happened in the adult’s ear. You say things like ‘Max is really upset. He had five sweets but then Dave the Dog robbed two! How many has he got left?
7. Sharing into two groups
This is my favourite way of introducing the concept of mathematical sharing for the first time. This is one of the articles I included in my best 22 teaching activities using puppets.
I find that sharing is usually quite easy for children to understand in this context, as it is something they will have experienced numerous times before in the courses of their everyday lives.
Have two puppets (or toys works well also). Have a bit of a story worked out and a few props. It could be that they are going to share some apples.
Say something like ‘Bill and Bella have 6 apples but they don’t know how many they should have each. They want to make it fair. How can we work it out?’
Demonstrate how to give one apple to one toy, then one to the other. Continue. Children usually get this idea of fairness.
Then repeat the scenario with a different number of apples, and get the children to have a go at sharing.
This is a skill they can try by themselves in different learning areas, if they have a few puppets or toys that they have access to.
8. Find one less
Puppets can really bring counting songs to life. For example, you could have 5 toy ducks for the song ‘Five Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day’.
Everyone sings the song, and then get the puppet to take one duck away. How many are left?
The children could help the puppet take the duck away. This is a real treat, and good for behaviour as of course only those sitting amazingly can be chosen.
9. Using a finger puppet to point to a counting stick
This is probably my favourite counting stick activity.
Counting sticks are a fantastic introduction to number lines, and children can learn a range of skills from them. One of the best activities is to stick numbers onto the number line, and put a finger puppet on your index finger.
Say to the children, ‘Follow the puppet. Say the number that he lands on.’
There are many different ways you can count, including:
- Count forwards
- Jump on random numbers
- Count backwards (Check out the best 18 counting backwards games here)
- Take the numbers off and try all the same games again. This is much harder.
10. Using finger puppet to skywrite numbers in air
Give all the children a finger puppet if you have them. They could potentially make their own.
Put on some pumping music! Anything with a good loud beat will work.
Try writing the numbers using big movements in the air. Remember to bend your knees and stretch up high. I always demonstrate the numbers at the front going backwards to me, so they will copy them from left to right (like a mirror). Repeat writing each number several times, and try to fit your movements to the music.
11. Counting Aerobics!
This is a bit like aerobics led by the puppet. Music is optional, but it can definitely spice things up.
Pick a move that the puppet will do, e.g. jiving with its arm.
Get the children to copy and all count at the same time.
Then pick different actions and count. Always go past ten. Bridging ten is an important skill for children to learn.
12. Counting backwards
This is good when combined with a number line. A large number line on the floor works well.
A child can hold the puppet, and jump backwards along the line, saying each number as they go.
The puppet could also be pointing to a number line on the wall. Say the number the puppet points to, and count backwards.
13. Adding objects
A few random objects or toys added together can be really brought to life by a bit of a story linking them to puppet. For example, a few conkers become the puppet’s conkers that he found that morning in the park. He found some under one tree, and some under another. How many has he got altogether.
The maths skills involved are the same as if you did it without a puppet, but the puppet just adds to engagement, interest and behaviour.
14. Ordering through size
Put the puppets in order from biggest to smallest! A great one for teaching vocabulary of length, as well as the concepts involved in ordering.
To find out exactly what ordering is, and the best ways to teach it, then check this out.
Puppets are a quick and effective solution to teach basic maths concepts. You can tap into that magical awe that they hold for children to really get their attention.
Skills taught in more formal, adult-led contexts, can be transferred into play if children have access to puppets and toys in the learning environment. They are fantastic for teaching counting in a range of ways, number recognition, and simple calculating strategies.

Is your child extremely shy in social situations? Does the fear of embarrassment stop them from engaging with their peers?
Social anxiety in children can be tough. Without intervention, kids may continue to feel fearful and isolated. Understanding how to help a child with social anxiety starts with figuring out what types of situations trigger the anxiety.
Different Types of Social Anxiety
For some kids, performance-like situations provoke the anxiety, such as answering a question in front of the class or trying out for the soccer team. Other kids experience social anxiety more broadly. Day to day social tasks, such as having a conversation, or being in public, can be extremely daunting. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to help a child with social anxiety.

Over 70% of parents report positive change.
Taking a Step-wise Approach
Avoiding anxiety-producing situations may feel better in the moment but can make the issue worse in the long run. Setting small goals and easing into the situation can be an effective response to avoidance. For example, if your child doesn’t feel comfortable talking in front of others, have them practice at home, starting with a whisper or non-verbal response. Then you could move to recording your child speaking and playing it back in front of close family or friends. Gradually build up to a brief interaction that your child has prepared for, and eventually onward to greater challenges. Be sure to involve your child in the goal-setting process and never force them into an uncomfortable situation. Instead, offer gentle encouragement and praise for completing small steps. Progress might feel like taking two steps forward, one step back. And that’s okay.
Developing Coping Skills
Like other forms of anxiety, social anxiety in children can cause intense mental and physical responses. This might include distorted thinking, in addition to blushing, sweating, trouble breathing, and more. Just the thought of certain situations can bring about anxious feelings and panic. Learning coping skills and relaxation techniques is very helpful in managing anxiety. The more your child feels in control of their emotions, the more likely they are to anticipate the anxiety, diffuse it, and take on daunting social activities.
Understanding your Child’s Thinking
Social anxiety in children sometimes stems from the belief that others are paying particular attention to them and the fear that they will be perceived negatively in some way. Identifying your child’s internal beliefs and messages can help you figure out how to best support them. You may need to help your child learn how to challenge negative beliefs and re-work unhelpful thought patterns. For example, if your child thinks that everyone will laugh if they answer a question wrong in class you can investigate that thought by asking things like, “What else could happen?” or “What usually happens when kids answer a question in class?”
If you feel like your child’s social anxiety is affecting their happiness or ability to function, consider seeking the advice of a counselor who specializes in child-therapy, or sharing your concerns with your child’s pediatrician. Mental health professionals are there to support you and your child on the journey to wellness.

This post follows on from our previous post about working with sensing and intuitive personalities. It’s the third in a series of posts about the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in the workplace.
The third dimension in the MBTI identifies our preferred style for making decisions. On one hand, there are people who use logic as the basis of their decision making. They weigh up the pros and cons objectively, and choose the course of action that will best help them achieve their goals. The MBTI describes these people as thinking. Then there are those who use values as the basis for their decision making. They consider how their decisions might affect other people, and choose the course of action that best aligns with their moral principles. The MBTI describes them as feeling.
Obviously, the thinking/feeling dichotomy can lead to intense disagreements at work. Because personal values are involved, these clashes can be unusually intense. All businesses have to work within financial constraints, so it’s easy for thinking types to point to the bottom line. In their minds, that alone should be enough to clinch the argument. Feeling types might respond by arguing that some things–caring for the elderly, for example, or investing in R&D–are beyond mere considerations of price.
What is interesting here is that both types are heavily invested in their respective values, and both types follow their own form of logic! Confused? Some people value a balanced set of books and a solid return on investment above all else. Others follow their own logic–the logic of human emotion. To make decisions without considering their impact on individuals and the community is to court disaster. To make decisions that are financially unsound is equally disastrous. If an organisation is to make wise decisions, thinking and feeling types both need to contribute. Talking through and understanding the personal values and logic of all involved is essential. To better understand each other, here are some key points of difference:
- You may open a conversation or meeting by setting goals and objectives
- You like to hear the arguments for and against each proposal
- Your objective style of reasoning may seem cool and impersonal to feeling types
- You are unlikely to be persuaded by an emotive arguments that does not meet your standards of objectivity
- Be careful not to overlook the needs and interests of people when evaluating ideas.
- You may open a conversation or meeting by looking for points of agreement
- You consider the effect each proposal will have on people
- Unless you can present your values rationally, they may not be understood by thinking types
- You are unlikely to be persuaded by a logical arguments which infringe your deeply-held values
- Be careful not to acquiesce to others simply to maintain harmony within the team.
There’s enough here to start some intriguing conversations at work! Next week, we’ll look at the final dimension of the MBTI–whether we prefer to make decisions, or take in further information. See you then. | <urn:uuid:df688b8f-143f-48b7-8b6a-2acace024653> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://brisbaneworkplacemediations.com.au/working-with-thinking-and-feeling-types/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571222.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810222056-20220811012056-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.949961 | 623 | 2.90625 | 3 |

Dominique Angel concealed a video creation in Pierre Gassendi’s study: Pièce supplémentaire n°23, inspired by Gassendi’s study. His residence in Digne also gave rise to his novel, Ça m’ennuirait de mourir avant la fin de ma vie [It would bother me if I die before the end of my life], co-published by the Musée Gassendi and Fage Éditions.
In 2005, Dominique Angel created Pièce supplémentaire [Additional piece], a sculpture installed in Saint-Benoît Park, Digne-les-Bains.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 6 – Lack of finance has been attributed as the main cause limiting investors’ participation in agri-business, according to a new report released Tuesday by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).
The report released during the ongoing Africa Green Revolution Forum in Nairobi indicates that the gap is for entrepreneurs that need funding between $1.25 million (Sh125 million) dollars and $1.50 million dollars (Sh150 million) to take their agribusiness to the next level of growth.
Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund Chairman Paul Boateng says this provides an opportunity for banks and venture capitalists to come up with funding opportunities that will take agribusinesses to the next level.
He says the lack of financing has seen many agribusinesses stagnate making it difficult for Africa to realise its true agribusiness potential.
“We need banks, foundations, venture capitalists to do more, but for that to happen we need political will as well as investor will, we also need partnerships with innovative farmers, enterprise farmers, Small and Medium sized enterprise and large scale multinationals underpinned by a commitment towards agriculture in Africa,” he stated.
He says even as Africa needs to focus on delivery rather than commitments urging African countries to deliver the Maputo Declaration 2003 commitments to invest 10 percent of national budgets to agricultural development.
Only eight countries have delivered their promise.
“It’s neither a shortage of ideas, nor a shortage of investments, it’s a shortage of finance, where financial institutions lack capacity to invest and come up with funding mechanisms and unwillingness to fund these agri-entrepreneurs.
While the report notes promising development of products like crop insurance tied to weather indexes, farm loan programs that share the risk among many participants, and innovative uses of mobile banking services and microfinance, only about 6 percent of rural households in sub-Saharan Africa are borrowing from formal financial institutions.
Also, investments allocated to agricultural research and extension services has fallen precisely when they are needed most the report states.
“At a time when climate change is producing intense demand for crop varieties and other innovations that can help farmers adapt, investments are not keeping up. For example, expenditures in Zambia, Malawi, and Tanzania in 2014 represented only 1.4 percent or less than overall budget allocations agriculture,” the report underlines.
Former AGRA President Namanga Ngongi, who chairs the Board of Trustees for the African Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership, said the report should set the stage for a productive meeting when political leaders and agriculture experts converge on Nairobi later this week.
“My hope is that this incisive analysis of the current state of African agriculture will stimulate a more profound and impassioned debate about the kinds of investments and initiatives now required to make transformation of this sector,” he observed.
Realizing the promise of African agriculture will not be cheap.
It could require US $315 billion (Sh31.8 trillion) to US$ 400 billion (Sh40 trillion) over the next ten years in public and private sector investments in all aspects of food production, processing, marketing and transport. | <urn:uuid:4a5fd3a8-2511-452f-8cfa-9a6338f9e752> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/2016/09/low-capital-limiting-agribusiness-africa-report/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.93576 | 666 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Under the “neighborhood first policy”, India has urgently responded to the Sri Lankan government’s request for assistance to overcome difficulties and will strengthen economic ties between the two countries.
Thiruvananthapuram: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday that India had provided assistance to Sri Lanka and was monitoring developments in the island nation, adding that there was no refugee crisis at the moment.
“We have supported Sri Lanka, try to help and have always been helpful. They are working on their problem, we will see what happens. There is no refugee crisis at the moment,” Jaishankar told his arrival in Kerala as part of the BJP’s intensifying efforts to make gains in southern India.
Jaishankar’s comments reflect how India continues to stand with its neighbors in difficult times. His remarks are all the more important as Sri Lanka faces an unprecedented political and economic crisis.
Under the “neighborhood first policy”, India has urgently responded to the Sri Lankan government’s request for assistance to overcome the difficulties and will strengthen the economic ties between the two countries, be it through infrastructure connectivity and renewable energy.
“India has provided around $3.5 billion in aid which has been given in the form of currency exchange, funding for food and fuel, medicines and fertilizers,” the gatekeeper said earlier. -spokesperson of the MEA, Arindam Bagchi.
Responding to a question on India-Sri Lanka relations, he said: “We have responded urgently to the Sri Lankan government’s request for assistance in overcoming the difficulties”, adding that “India stands in solidarity with the people of Sri Lanka and works for their best interest.”
Emphasizing that India has prioritized “neighborhood policy first”, Arindam Bagchi said, “India will seek to strengthen economic ties between the two countries whether through infrastructure and renewable energy connectivity”.
In line with its “neighborhood first” policy, India has been very active in assisting Sri Lanka during its economic crisis.
More than 25 tons of medicines and medical supplies that have been donated by the government and people of India over the past two months are valued at nearly SLR 370 million. This is in addition to the economic aid of about 3.5 billion dollars and the provision of other humanitarian supplies such as rice, milk powder, kerosene.
These humanitarian supplies come as a continuation of the Government of India’s continued support to the people of Sri Lanka in multiple forms such as financial aid, currency support, material supply and many more. These efforts prove that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Neighborhood First” policy, which places engagement between people, is still active.
India is becoming a stronger and more mutually beneficial partner for Sri Lanka. Apart from assistance during the pandemic and the fertilizer chaos, India is also donating commodities to the island nation.
Sri Lanka has been suffering from a diesel shortage since February, resulting in hours of daily power cuts. Currently, Sri Lanka is struggling with severe food and power shortages, forcing the country to seek help from its neighbours.
The recession is attributed to currency shortages caused by the clampdown on tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic. The country is unable to buy enough fuel and gas, while the population is also deprived of basic amenities.
Meanwhile, several dramatic videos have been making the rounds on social media following Saturday’s uprising, where thousands of protesters stormed his official residence in the capital Colombo, forcing him to flee to an unknown location.
With President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s demand for resignation, they broke into the President’s house, tore down the security cordons placed by the police, bathed in the pool and wandered around his kitchen and house.
The Chief of Defense Staff (CDS), General Shavendra Silva, urged all citizens to support the armed forces and the police in order to maintain peace in the country, according to the media portal. He made the remarks in a special statement accompanied by the commanders of the three forces.
Meanwhile, Sri Lankan Tourism and Lands Minister Harin Fernando and Foreign Labor and Employment Minister Manusha Nanayakkara said they had decided to step down from their ministerial portfolios with immediate effect.
Sri Lankan protesters also broke into Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s private residence and set it on fire, angered by the unprecedented economic crisis.
Several journalists were also attacked by security forces, after which other demonstrators gathered in the area, DailyMirror reported.
Police used water cannons to arrest enraged protesters. Police also fired tear gas at the protesters, but despite this they entered PM’s house and set the house on fire.
Meanwhile, Colombo City Council (CMC) firefighters said they were informed that the Prime Minister’s private residence in Colombo had been set on fire and his crews were unable to reach the scene due to the unrest, according to DailyMirror.
Wickremesinghe, who was appointed Prime Minister in May, announced that he would step down from his post in order to ensure the continuity of government and the security of all citizens.
Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa also agreed to step down on Wednesday.

The typical American attitude about summer is that it is a great time to kick back and relax. But could there be more to it?
As a parent, when our children were young, Terrie and I saw summer as a time to invest in their lives in ways that were not as possible during the school year. As a pastor, I have always encouraged families in our church to structure their summer plans in such a way that it would be spiritually, relationally, and even intellectually helpful for their children.
Recently, I shared five suggestions with families in our church regarding summer that I hope will be a help to you. (Although I’m writing primarily to parents, you can apply these in any stage of life.)
1. Establish a Daily Schedule
Your summertime schedule may be more relaxed than during the school year, but having some structure will provide stability—especially for children.
I believe that even in the summertime, children need structure. Some of the scheduled time will, of course, be play time. But it also helps children to have a time to get up, eat meals, do household chores, do projects with you, read, serve others, etc.
2. Set Reading Goals
Summertime is one of my best times of the year for reading. For children and teenagers, it’s a great time to encourage reading along areas of personal interest (which is also a great way to encourage a love for reading).
Encourage your children and teens to read the biography of a great Christian leader or historical figure. (Just reading about people who have made a difference can encourage us to do something greater with our lives for the Lord.) You might assign your teenager a book about financial management, or prayer, or a how-to book in an area he is interested in.
We gave our children incentives for summertime reading. When they were younger, it may have been a trip to the park after so many chapters or books. When they were teens, I sometimes gave them $5 or $10 for reading and writing a brief report on books I had asked them to read.
For most kids, the alternative to reading during the summer is large amounts of screen time. Besides the fact that sitting in front of a screen for hours at a time is unhealthy, so much that is on television is subversive to everything you want your children to learn. So in whatever subject your child might be interested, find some good quality reads that will challenge them spiritually and intellectually.
3. Make Family Memories
This is one of the things I love about summer. Ever since our children were young, we’ve tried to make summer a time to build family memories. Sometimes it was as simple as a backyard barbeque or playing catch. Sometimes it was a day trip going fishing. Sometimes it was a few days of vacation time.
Whatever you are able to do, just find ways to have some fun as a family. Take pictures. Create special memories. Take advantage of the longer days of summer to enjoy time together.
4. Make Spiritual Growth a Priority
In the Christian life, there are certain seasons when, if we are going to grow, we have to intentionally make it a priority. Summertime tends to be one of those seasons. How can you do that as a family?
- Read the Bible together at home. Take a few moments every day—perhaps at breakfast, perhaps before bed—to read the Bible and pray with your children.
- Determine you will be in church for every scheduled service. Something about the relaxed atmosphere of the summer can make it easier to feel like skipping church if you haven’t already decided it is a priority. Make a decision early in the summer to remain faithful to church services and to serving in your church.
- Send your kids to the church summer camp. I made some of the most significant decisions of my teen years (including responding to God’s call to preach) at church summer camp. This can be an incredible spiritual help to your children.
5. Serve Others
We have a tendency to make opportunities for down time about ourselves. But what if you used this summer to serve others? (Actually, some of the best ways to make family memories are to serve together!)
What if you make a meal together and deliver to another family in your church who is going through a difficult time? What if you visit a widow? What if you do lawn care for a neighbor or someone who just had surgery? Help your children see the importance of serving others by finding someone to be a blessing to and serving together.
Summertime can be one of the best seasons in the year as a parent to invest in your children. The challenge is in your mindset. If you see the summer as only a time to relax, you’ll miss the moments you have to make it a time of growth—for yourself, your children, and your family. | <urn:uuid:1d2f153b-28cf-4d32-8e1d-b575b14de144> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ministry127.com/christian-living/5-summertime-suggestions-for-families | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571222.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810222056-20220811012056-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.975668 | 1,008 | 1.851563 | 2 |
The Pressure to Adapt
Accounting as a discipline must evolve to remain relevant in higher education. Its evolution must be more than a reorganization of existing courses, as suggested in The Accounting Professional of Tomorrow (2020), or an increased emphasis on technology and statistical methods. Those minor changes, many reflected in the AICPA’s CPA Evolution Project, may prolong the life of accounting as a stand-alone major, but they are not enough. It will help departments make the next enrollment period, but ultimately they will be forced to close their doors. As noted by Alexander Gabbin (Warning Signs about the Future Supply of Accounting Graduates, September 2019, http://bit.ly/2pT8Vud), college and university customers—students—are already leaving the major for more lucrative majors. Accounting departments cannot expect to reengage those students by repackaging the major (e.g., transforming cost accounting into managerial decision making, adding data analytics to audit theory, incorporating financial statement analysis into advanced accounting) and selling the same product with more buzzwords or new courses. Like a conglomerate that has become too large to manage its business lines, accounting as an independent business major must be broken up and realigned with academic competitors to save it from extinction. Much of the core accounting curriculum should remain—albeit in other departments and in general interdisciplinary business courses—but the accounting department itself should be eliminated and reorganized predominately under finance and information systems departments. In the author’s opinion, this approach will unlock the value in the fast-evolving accounting roles that accounting firms and future employers seek from graduating students.
The Evolution Project
The AICPA, observing the declining pipeline of CPAs, launched the CPA Evolution Project to modernize the professional certification and reorient the collegiate curriculum. The AICPA has given colleges and universities a roadmap to reorganize their accounting departments over the next decade. Notably, the Evolution Project highlights skills consistent with what accounting is becoming and downplays skills native to traditional accounting (e.g., journal entries, tax preparation, manual controls). The Evolution Project establishes a core of accounting, tax, audit, and technology, and pairs it with a required specialty in either tax compliance and planning, business analysis and reporting, or information systems and controls. In this author’s opinion, this lays out a path to reorganize accounting into the majors where its contents fit neatly and provide supporting knowledge and skills. The financial statement preparation and tax concentrations should be reorganized as tracks under collegiate finance departments. Audit and accounting information systems concentrations should easily be absorbed by universities’ information technology departments. Students would then be able to further specialize in their track, as the Evolution Project envisions—albeit in departments other than accounting.
Even though the CPA Evolution Project is aligning the credential with practice, it is also underscoring that the value in the license lays not within the accounting curriculum that has existed for decades; the new value is the technology, the analytics, the systems, and the tax research. But I believe the curriculum realignment anticipated by the CPA Evolution Project will only lead to an even faster decline in enrollments if accounting remains siloed as a stand-alone major.
Over the past decade, the profession has expected aspiring accountants to master a broader set of skills. Accountants are not only expected to prepare and analyze financial statements, perform tax research, or audit complex corporate entities; they are also expected to be management consultants, expert data analysts, coders, technical writers, and information system auditors. The sum of these parts should make accountants desirable, highly compensated technical experts. In practice, they seem more like jacks of all trades, masters of none: CPAs as currently constituted are worth less than the sum of the parts. As the profession gets more specialized, the accounting curriculum is expanding to include more information, more courses, more skills, and more tracks—but students are less skilled at each one. It’s a cycle that can’t be fixed by repackaging existing courses. It can only be fixed by eliminating the accounting major and unlocking accounting’s interdisciplinary value and specialization within finance, information systems, or other departments.
By modernizing the professional credential to match practice, accounting would be deemphasized, but not eliminated. This transition out of accounting and towards a broader skill set is quickly actionable if business schools are willing to adapt, moving accounting faculty to new departments where their skill sets will be more directly applicable, but just as valuable to the accounting career track students who will take them. The ongoing pandemic has already caused universities to perform comprehensive reviews of majors and consolidate where necessary. Accounting divesture and consolidation by finance and information systems would solve two problems at once—it would better prepare students for the accounting profession of today while giving them a deeper skill set they can market if they leave the profession.
Accounting still matters. But this author believes it can no longer add value by standing alone.
Accounting is already integrated across every business major, whether these majors consider their foundations in accounting or not. Accounting is what tells a business owner or manager if they have enough cash to make next week’s payroll (entrepreneurship) or how to budget for their quarterly sales, bonuses, and purchases (management). Accounting is what gives analysts the information to assign prices to equities (finance). It determines budgets for ad campaigns (marketing). And it serves as a core base for many of the job opportunities in technology work (information systems). Despite its broad reach and cross-discipline importance, accounting attempts to stand alone; yet its true value lies in its position as the “language of business.” Like the accounting student of today, the parts of the accounting discipline are greater than their sum.
CPA firms seem to have recognized the value in skills not concentrated in accounting, as they are hiring an increasing amount of non-accounting professionals. According to the 2019 AICPA Trends Report, 30% of recent Big Four hires were non-accounting majors. The firms built to deliver accounting expertise are seeking out employees with expertise outside of accounting. They are telling job seekers what they value, and what they value is no longer students who specialize only in accounting. The market for accounting services has fundamentally shifted away from a narrow skill set in accounting—and it’s not coming back. I believe academia must meet the firms where they are and realign our courses so that our students can specialize and deliver value to accounting firms.
The hiring trend of the largest firms is in part a recognition that the profession will continue to need fewer newly minted CPAs. A 2013 study by Oxford University predicted that approximately 94% of accounting and audit work will be automated over the coming decades, further reducing firms’ demand for graduates with only accounting degrees. Accounting is only one tool Big Four new hires need—it is not the toolbox it once was.
Even as CPA firms require more of their new hires, they have failed to compensate their employees for the breadth of knowledge and skills that are demanded. CPAs are expected to have data analytics skills, but are paid less than a data analyst. They are expected to complete 150 credit hours, yet are given the same jobs as classmates with a typical 120-hour undergraduate degree. As automation expands, CPA firms will continue to hire fewer accounting students, at lower pay. Many students come to accounting because they can secure a job upon graduation. But we don’t ask the counterfactual: what kind of job and salary could they have found if they took their talents to another field? It doesn’t appear to be a stretch to suggest they would be still gainfully employed.
Specialty, not Stand-alone
There is still a need for accounting knowledge. However, the combination of automation, firm hiring trends, and expanding demand for other specializations makes it more likely that the knowledge is best delivered as a component or specialization within other disciplines, not as a stand-alone discipline. Accounting still matters. But this author believes it can no longer add value by standing alone. It must shrink its educational footprint and divest its core components into existing majors, thereby eliminating accounting as a collegiate major and department. By breaking itself up, the accounting discipline can thrive as a knowledge base and area of study that will attract the best and brightest students—albeit through other departments. | <urn:uuid:a6aa0038-3f93-461c-a1d4-56e0ad022809> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cpajournal.com/2021/11/17/the-cpa-evolution-project-realigns-the-professional-certification-and-challenges-accountings-viability-as-a-stand-alone-major/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.950683 | 1,723 | 1.984375 | 2 |
Shojo Manga Pioneer Eiko Hanamura Passes Away at 91
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The Japan Cartoonists Association (JCA) announced on Monday that manga creator Eiko Hanamura passed away on December 3. She was 91.
While the JCA's announcement only mentions an unspecified illness, NHK reported that Hanamura passed away at her home due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
Hanamura was a pinoeer of shojo manga, as well as manga for older women. She made her debut in 1959 with the manga "Murasaki no Yōsei" (Purple Fairy) in the rental manga book Niji. She drew the Kiri no Naka no Shōjo (The Girl in the Fog) manga in 1968, which TBS adapted into the Katei no Himitsu live-action series in 1975. From there, she wrote numerous other manga, including Hanakage no Hito (A Woman in the Shadow of Flowers), Hanabira no Tō (A Steeple of Flower Petals), and a manga adaptation of Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji).
She was a prolific artist, penning numerous other serialized and one-shot manga, and has contributed new illustrations to various projects and works as late as this year. She was a director of the Japan Cartoonists Association, and was a permanent member of France's Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. | <urn:uuid:6a2ee4f7-a472-43cd-b194-2d1656cd29aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-12-07/shojo-manga-pioneer-eiko-hanamura-passes-away-at-91/.167165 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.963518 | 303 | 1.75 | 2 |
Glossary term: Year
Description: A year is the time it takes Earth to go once around the Sun, but there are several definitions for what "once around" means. The time it takes for the Sun to appear in the exact same place in the sky from one year to the next is one tropical year, also called the solar year. The time it takes for Earth to complete one orbit, using the distant stars as a reference, is one sidereal year. The difference between the two, which amounts to about 20 minutes (with the sidereal year the slightly longer) is due to the precession of Earth's axis of rotation – the fact that the axis of Earth's rotation very slowly changes its orientation in space. An Earth year amounts to about 365.24 days. For other planets, their "year" is defined analogously, with respect to their orbit around the Sun.Related Terms:

I feel the frustrations of my patients who only have one hearing aid and lack hearing in the non-aided ear. The struggles of depending on one ear to do the work of two are sometimes enough that they want to give up.
I grew up hard of hearing and had hearing aids in both ears from a very young age. When I needed to repair one of my hearing aids I would have to go without it for 1-2 weeks while it went to the lab. I can remember the lone ear feeling left out and my own awareness of the auditory world being stunted. Hearing from one ear alone changes the perception of the sounds around you. Think of it as depth perception if you will; having only one ear turns off some of our brain’s responses to sounds and how it handles sounds. I felt the absence of my hearing on one side in how I struggled to hear in class, felt isolated on the school bus, felt completely at loss in background noise and had to strain to understand conversation in every environment. I had to make changes by sitting with my aided ear near my friends at the lunch table and moving closer to the teacher in the classroom and turning up the TV. The relief I felt when my hearing aid was returned to me and I had both ears working again is hard to describe. I welcomed the pairing of my ears. Thankfully now that I am working in the profession of audiology and own my practice I have a large supply of spare hearing aids and won’t have to experience this again. Unless of course I lose all my hearing and become deafened in one or both ears. So long as I have hearing in both ears I intend to make good use of both ears.
I encourage my patients to aid hearing in both ears when needed. Sometimes, for various reasons, that is not possible and I have a considerable amount of counseling to do to help my patients who can only use one ear. When only one ear is in play difficulties can be expected as the norm, not the exception.
Here is what you need to know.
The benefits of hearing in both ears equally…
- Ability to localize sounds improves.
Ability to understand speech in noisy surroundings improves.
Sounds are richer, fuller and more natural.
Risk of “auditory deprivation” is reduced.
Your sense of direction…
Why do you suppose you are born with two ears? The brain needs input from both ears to tell us the direction of sounds. Our ears alert us of danger for things such as honking car horns or speeding trucks. Within the brain the neural response from both sides differs by milliseconds but is perceived enough to alert us of direction of sound. This is called localization. Localization keeps us feeling safe and comfortable in everyday situations.
Understanding conversation in noise…
Background noise makes communication difficult for everyone, not just the hard of hearing. But having hearing loss puts you at a particular disadvantage as most hearing loss causes distortion and loss of specificity. This is further impacted by hearing in only one ear as this causes unequal stimulation of the brain for sound. The brain needs both ears’ input in order to filter and sort the noises around you. You cannot eliminate noise altogether with hearing aids but having both ears working equally well can help you manage noise better.
A fuller, richer auditory world…
When you hear equally well with both ears, sounds are more comfortable to listen to. You have less strain, sounds have more clarity and depth and give you a sense of spacial awareness. Hearing with both ears can be compared to listening to the radio in stereo. Without stereo the radio can be shallow and flat sounding, hearing with one ear may also sound this way.
Research has consistently shown over the years that when one ear is ignored (not aided) the brain over time turns it “off.” In other words the unaided ear becomes deprived of sound because the brain is making more use of the aided ear. The brain’s dependency on the aided ear causes the neural pathways to “re-route” and work in a way that was not intended for the brain to work. The unfortunate side effect is auditory deprivation of the ignored ear. As the ear goes unaided for long periods of time hearing loss is more likely to worsen and clarity for speech, in particular, can be affected. Some patients with auditory deprivation can eventually lose the use of the unaided ear as the brain has ignored it for so long that it becomes unusable or even disruptive.
For these reasons two hearing instruments are recommended when hearing loss occurs in both ears and can be aided in both ears. Each person with hearing loss presents with different circumstances so these recommendations are a generalization and there are exceptions to the rule. If you suspect hearing loss or any other hearing disorder, the best line of defense is to have an evaluation and full diagnostic work up of your hearing sensitivity.

By James Mann, Los Angeles Times (TNS)
In the six years since he left the White House, President George W. Bush has often claimed that it is too early for historical judgments about his presidency. “It’s too soon to say how many of my decisions will turn out,” he wrote in Decision Points, his presidential memoir.
In this, Bush was indulging in what we will call the Truman Consolation. President Harry S. Truman was deeply unpopular during most of his time in the White House and in the years immediately afterward. Only decades later did historians begin to rate his presidency highly for the actions he took in the early years of the Cold War. At one time or another, when their poll ratings are slumping and their media coverage is biting, most modern American presidents like to believe they will eventually be vindicated, just as Truman was.
But Bush is largely wrong: In some of the most important areas of his presidency, it’s not too soon to draw conclusions. Just by judging against Bush’s own forecasts, some of the most far-reaching and important initiatives of his presidency didn’t work — or turned out poorly.
At the top of the list is the war in Iraq. Bush and his advisors badly misjudged what it would entail. They overestimated the international support the United States would be able to obtain for military action. They asserted before the war that American troops would need to stay in Iraq for no more than a couple of years. The administration’s public estimate before the war was that it would cost less than $100 billion; instead, it cost $2 trillion.
Intended originally as a short-term demonstration of American power and influence, the Iraq war over the longer term brought about the opposite. In its unhappy aftermath, Americans became increasingly cautious, more reluctant to become involved overseas. Overall, the war will go down as a strategic blunder of epic proportions, among the most serious in American history.
A similar fate will befall the second-most far-reaching aspect of Bush’s legacy, his historic tax cuts. Bush argued that they would stimulate the economy and spur economic growth. The short-term benefits proved dubious at best, but the harmful long-term consequences were incalculable, both for the federal government and, more importantly, for American society.
When Bush took office, America was in a brief period of budgetary surplus. There was actually a debate, forgotten and almost unimaginable today, about how to use the surplus: Pay down the debt? Launch new federal initiatives? Bush chose to cut taxes, and then did so in ways (tax cuts on dividends and capital gains) that proved immensely beneficial to the wealthiest Americans.
It’s true that President Barack Obama eventually allowed the Bush cuts on upper-income Americans to expire. But the damage had been done. Over the course of nearly a decade, the federal government became increasingly short of funds, while wealthy Americans built up greater and greater assets. Whenever you use a road, bridge or airport that needs repairs (or read a news story about the Pentagon complaining about budget constraints), you might pause to think about the Bush tax cuts and the role they played in shaping the America we see today.
Bush’s second round of tax cuts, in 2003, were historic in another sense. By then, he had already dispatched American troops to Iraq. In every previous military conflict since the Civil War, American presidents had raised taxes to help defray the costs. Bush bucked this historical trend: He lowered them.
It’s true that in a few other policy areas judgments of Bush’s presidency may improve over the years as events unfold and as more information comes to light.
The primary example could be counter-terrorism. The Senate’s recent report on enhanced interrogation techniques makes current judgments on that dark era even harsher than they would have been otherwise. Torture is torture, and no passage of time will change the moral judgments on that.
On the other hand, in the immediate aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, some Europeans began to ask why the attackers had not been kept under greater surveillance. If such terrorist attacks were to continue over many years, then judgments on the Bush-era surveillance programs might eventually come to be less harsh than they are today. Or they may come to be seen as the true beginning of a new surveillance state. More time needs to pass before historical judgments on this issue can take shape.
Overall, Bush’s presidency is likely to be remembered for his lack of caution and restraint. Once, in the midst of a discussion with his military advisors, Bush made a telling observation: “Someone has got to be risk-averse in this process, and it better be you, because I’m not.”
George W. Bush was certainly not risk-averse. He took gambles both in foreign policy and with the economy. Sometimes they paid off. Yet overall, the country paid heavily for the risks he took. History isn’t likely to revise that judgment.
James Mann, a former Los Angeles Times correspondent, is a fellow in residence at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. His latest book, George W. Bush, is a volume in the American Presidents Series of biographies. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

SEOUL, Sept. 7 (Korea Bizwire) — A book-themed village, a community built around the culture of reading books, is set to be built in Seoul, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced.
According to the plans revealed on Wednesday, the book-reading community will be built over 1,625 square meters of land in Jungnang District in northwestern Seoul by the end of next year.
“Though we have built apartment buildings catering to special groups such as actors and elderly people, this will be the first community with other facilities in mind in addition to housing blocks,” a Seoul government official said.
A total of six apartment buildings and one additional building for marginalized members of society as well as a library are scheduled to be built to accommodate up to 40 households consisting of one to four members.
In addition, the Seoul government will hold an event this Friday and Saturday for city residents to share ideas f0r city planning projects in the future.

jesus in the church
“Zeal for Your house consumes Me.” —John 2:17
Today throughout the world we celebrate the Church, and especially Jesus, the Founder and Head of the Church. Today we celebrate the unity of the Church, her authority in Christ (Mt 16:19), and Jesus’ special presence in the Church.
Jesus is present in the Church universal, for He is her Head (Col 1:18). He is present in the small communities of the Church, for He has promised to be with us in a special way where two or three gather in unity in His name (Mt 18:20). Jesus is present in the church building in the most special and central way of all, for here He is present in the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1373).
On this glorious feast day, the Lord is calling us in many ways. He may be calling us to form or join a small Christian community. He is calling us to evangelize and “re-member” the Church. I believe that on this special day the Lord is especially calling us to Eucharistic adoration. Pope St. John Paul II taught: “The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet Him in adoration” (Catechism, 1380).
Love the Church (Eph 5:25). Adore Jesus in church. Let zeal for God and His house consume you (Jn 2:17).
Prayer: Father, because I am living in Christ (see Phil 1:21), may I be living in the Church.
Promise: “Are you not aware that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” —1 Cor 3:16
Praise: St. John Lateran Basilica reminds us of an easy-to-forget fact: The Catholic Church uses architectural beauty to commemorate and spread the truth of the Gospel. The Lateran Basilica is the oldest patriarchal church in Rome. It was originally the Church of Our Savior.

As educational costs continue to skyrocket, more and more parents are considering homeschooling as a viable option for their families. Removing a child from public or private school is not an easy decision. Prior to making decisions about homeschooling your children, gain insight from the advice you about to read.
Speak with families who are in the same position as you when homeschooling. This will help your child feel comfortable with the idea of homeschooling. You can also get group rates for certain places you go to.
Homeschooling allows you to tailor the learning environment to your child. Kids who need to experience their learning can do so. The child will learn easier and be more successful this way.
Figure out where in the home you will create your classroom. The children need to be both comfortable and focused. Get a small desk and make sure your child has enough room for the different activities you plan on doing. Where can you monitor them all the time?
Before homeschooling your children, be sure to educate yourself on the subject. There are a lot of resources out there to help you determine whether this is the best thing for your family. Loving the idea of homeschooling is not enough for success. It also takes money, energy and time to educate your youngsters at home.
Check the Homeschool Association within your state to be informed about the governing laws and guidelines surrounding your decision to homeschool your children. Several states require you to register as a type of private school, while other states let you give kids standardized tests at specific grade levels. Also, contact your local school district to be sure they are aware of your homeschooling status to avoid truancy charges.
While homeschooling is important, time for other relationships in your family are important, too. Spending quality time with your spouse can easily become lost in the sea of homeschooling responsibilities. Show them that they are still important by spending some quiet time with them, going for date nights, going to the movies, etc. Spending a little time together each day will make a substantial difference.
Have craft supplies available at all times that your children can use during the school day. You can have one child do an art project while you are teaching the other. This is a fun activity that will encourage creativity. This is a quality learning method.
Kids have to eat right to learn well. Nutritious, filling foods make it so much easier to learn and pay attention during lessons. Additionally, they won’t have trouble paying attention or becoming overtired when you teach.
An online blog can benefit your child and tap into their creative mind. This helps them learn to write, including better skills in grammar and spelling. They can pick a single topic or engage in anything which they fancy at the moment. Then set the blog up, but make sure settings are private. They can then write articles full of facts following the research, which is a necessary skill. Additionally, they can write creative short stories.
How can one choose between public and homeschooling? You might not even get what you want out of the best public or private schools you can find. You should keep these things in mind before you make a final choice. Most importantly, take advantage of every opportunity to learn about homeschooling. | <urn:uuid:f7984692-a0aa-4d05-9c96-ae39131046ac> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://studioschoolaurora.org/easy-to-use-ideas-to-make-homeschooling-work.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.969372 | 670 | 2.3125 | 2 |

In Book VI of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle intensively discusses knowledge in the form of Prudence, a form of virtue. In this section, he provides his take on the debate between teaching vs. experience as means to achieve something, the similar issue we face in Plato’s Protagoras in which Socrates argues whether good is learned or experienced. Unlike Socrates, Aristotle clearly states his opinion on this issue, which is discussed below. Continue reading
Aristotle, in his Nicomachean Ethics, introduces a thought provoking statement: “We all suppose that what we know is not capable of being otherwise; of things capable of being otherwise we do not know, when they have passed outside our observation, whether they exist or not.” (1139b36-1139b36 p. 1799) Continue reading
In Aristotle’s “Metaphysics,” Aristotle’s claims have a lot to do with splitting different forms of knowledge and experience into categories and classes. For example, according to him, animals live by appearances and memories, while humans live by art and reason. He clearly makes a distinction that while experience is more of an individual mentality, art is something universal because experience, which made of many memories, lead to art. Therefore, art is more knowledgeable than experience since artists can teach. He then proceeds to lay out a hierarchy of who is wiser, which includes the class of inventors.
In Book VI of Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle delivers an intriguing example explaining the connection between practical knowledge and experience.
“This is why some who do not know, and especially those who have experience, are more practical than others who know; for if a man knew that light meats are digestible and wholesome, but did not know which sorts of meat are light, he would not produce health, but the man who knows that chicken is wholesome is more likely to produce health” (7, page 1802).
In Book Six of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle discusses the different states of the soul in order to achieve virtue. He describes each of them and the components of each. One distinction he made caught my attention. Continue reading
In Book VI, Socrates discusses several different topics such as practical wisdom, art, philosophical wisdom, political wisdom, wisdom, and knowledge, but the topic most intriguing to me is the idea of practical wisdom.

Two ICE trains in Cologne, where Germany operates a public railway within EU rules. Wikimedia. CC.Of the Tory privatisations visited upon the UK in recent decades, few arouse such intensity of feelings as that of the railways. A much-loved public institution now dogged by a reputation for exploitative and above-inflation price increases paired with poor service, commitments to renationalise the network offered an early emblem of what a Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn was to stand for.
With Brexit triggered for March 2019, and enthusiasts on the left keen to point out the threat posed by the EU to the proposition of UK public ownership, how much do EU rules impact on the widely popular idea of a railway taken back from private hands?
Julian Sayarer: Does the Labour Party need Brexit in order to deliver on its popular policy of rail renationalisation?
Christian Wolmar: No it doesn’t. There is some controversy surrounding this matter but under EU law it is still possible to run a nationalised railway, as of course many EU countries already choose to. The key point of confusion - found within the UK Railways Act (1993) which brought about privatisation - is that the legislation specifically says that government agencies cannot bid for franchises.
This stipulation has nothing to do with the EU and even this is a supplementary issue – the whole point of nationalisation would not be to have franchises but to bring the railways entirely in-house. There would be nothing stopping the Labour government doing so.
JS: So we simply need to amend UK legislation?
CW: The Railways Act does not even need amendment – the Act prevents government bids for franchises but does not actually mean that, if you refrain from franchising altogether, you cannot open the process to government. This is effectively what happened with East coast mainline when it was placed under government control. The other key point is whether you unify the railway franchises or the track itself – EU legislation says you need separate accounts and to allow the possibility for open access, but it doesn’t prevent the government owning both operations.
JS: Are there examples of state-owned railways operating successfully inside the EU?
CW: The ultimate model, which is within Europe but not the EU, might well be the Swiss one - this is run under a banner of Swiss rail but in reality is owned and under the authority of individual cantons. This is a very successful, government-owned model.
In reality, most European railways, including within the EU, are government-owned and so the question depends rather more on how one judges ‘success’. This question itself harkens to an idea of inefficient government ownership, and while this has been true in eastern European state rail operations, there is no reason to believe that the UK situation would be akin to that.
JS: Could nationalised rail fall foul of EU state aid rules? What are the concerns here?
CW: Other countries get around that. Germany navigates it by essentially putting services out to bid, the regional governments bid, and then it is reasoned that this is not a subsidy because the arrangement rests on the principle of a payment for a service. Certainly none of the major European railways make a profit in strict profit/loss terms, but this issue is managed within the limits of EU law. Member states are, moreover, allowed to fund socially useful services within EU state aid provisions and this would be the argument for railways.
JS: Does the UK model of private franchises throw up different challenges to nationalisation compared to elsewhere in the EU?
CW: The franchise model means we have a much more fragmented railway to start with, and one that is more costly as a result of that fragmentation. The whole policy of renationalisation would be to defragment it – a broken-up and privatised railway is simply not an effective way to run rail travel. It might not necessarily become one big railway, but certainly there would be some consolidation into a handful of large networks.
JS: Is it possible to have both national rail and forces of competition within the EU model?
CW: It is possible to have management contracts instead of franchises, but the problem with that model is that risk falls to the state, not the private contract. This is already the model on which the London Overground is run, and with this, companies just run the line for a set fee, rather than having a risk-based model. Certainly a lot of work on the railway network will always be done by private contractors but the key issue is who has overall control.
JS: Why are those in favour of public railways concerned about the EU's Fourth Railway Package?
CW: The 4th railway package is an attempt to liberalise transport markets and open them up to more competition. However, as with previous packages, there is no mandatory requirement to privatise services, but rather an expectation that transport services will be opened up for tender.
The UK in fact has led the way in terms of competition by opening up all its rail services – and all bus services outside London – to private operators. In rail this has been done through franchising out groups of service with competition largely restricted, while the bus model outside London has gone a step further by allowing any new entrants to the market, provided they meet certain basic standards.
The 4th package also encourages – though does not mandate after an intervention by Angela Merkel – the full separation of rail infrastructure from services. Therefore, in many respects the 4th railway package is in effect catching up with what is happening in the UK anyway. The key point is that it does not make privatisation mandatory and does nothing to prevent the renationalisation of UK rail. It is, in fact, UK legislation which prevents public bodies from bidding for rail franchises (except, of course, for foreign, state-owned organisations).
JS: What strategy would advocates for nationalised UK rail be best-placed to pursue, particularly in terms of the EU and Brexit?
CW: Those wishing to bring about a nationalised UK rail network ought to allow the contracts to run out and then take them over. I don’t believe this would create an immediate step-change improvement in the rails, or reduction in fares. This is a slow process but unifying the rails would help remove bureaucracy and the regulation of numerous companies, while also creating immediate savings as a result of not paying the profit of private companies. While unifying the rails would be a cheaper and better way to run a rail system, not all railways should be placed into this basket and there are many different models to borrow ideas from.
Furthermore, there are many transport issues that are perhaps higher priority anyway; city congestion, road charging, improving bus services, a franchise system for buses, the list of areas for attention goes on. In cities, trams always bring with them dramatic economic improvements, while more cycling provisions can improve local transport options greatly and creates positive health outcomes that alleviate the strain on the NHS.
Brexit is not at all a crucial aspect within the change of UK rail – there might be marginal effects but it is not significant. A look at the relevant legislation quickly reveals this, and rail renationalisation should not be used as an excuse for advocating that we leave the EU.

The Mediterranean diet has been associated with a decrease of numerous diseases which are linked to inflammation and oxidative stress including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neurodegeneration and cancer (2-8). The current paradigm indicates that the high antioxidant polyphenols which form part of the Mediterranean diet are largely responsible for the beneficial for the health effects (9-12). Major phenolics from virgin olive oil (including oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol) (13, 14), and from red wine (resveratrol and quercetin) (15-18), have been shown to possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, the effects of these major dietary polyphenols on endothelial cell inflammation and angiogenesis was investigated. In particular, the regulation of oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, resveratrol and quercetin on the regulation of the key inflammatory response associated cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme (COX-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) linked to angiogenesis was investigated.
Key points and implications
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (and human microvascular endothelial-1 cells, for selected control experiments), were used in this study. Cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and treated with or without 0.1-50 μM polyphenols. Conventional matrigel tube formation and scratch migration assays were performed and to elucidate molecular mechanisms of action, immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry experiments were conducted. Firstly, it is important to note that treatment of cells with up to 50 μM of the polyphenols for 24 hours did not produce any signs of cytotoxicity. The key findings indicated that oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, resveratrol and quercetin: 1) inhibit angiogenic responses in PMA-stimulated endothelial cells as assessed by scratch migration and tube formation experiments, 2) inhibit MMP-9 activity and expression in PMA-stimulated endothelial cells, 3) inhibit PMA-induced COX-2 activity and expression, and 4) reduce PMA-mediated levels of reactive oxygen species and nuclear factor (NF)-B. In summary these findings highlight that the dietary polyphenols produce anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects in stimulated endothelial cells via the reactive oxygen species-mediated NF-B pathway resulting in the modulation of the expression of MMP-9 and COX-2. In general, these basic in vitro studies are important for delineating the molecular mechanisms of action accounting the beneficial health effects of polyphenol-rich diets such as the Mediterranean diet.

For a little more than three years, Yemen has been locked in a reputedly intractable civil war that has killed just about 10,000 people and driven tens of millions to the brink of hunger.
The warfare has its roots within the Arab Spring of 2011, whilst an rebellion pressured the country’s long-time authoritarian president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, handy over energy to his deputy, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
The political transition used to be imagined to convey steadiness to Yemen, certainly one of the middle East’s poorest countries, however President Hadi struggled to handle more than a few problems including militant assaults, corruption, food insecurity, and proceeding loyalty of many army officers to Saleh.
Fighting started in 2014 when the Houthi Shia Muslim rebellion movement took advantage of the new president’s weak spot and seized control of northern Saada province and neighbouring spaces. The Houthis went on to take the capital Sanaa, forcing Mr Hadi into exile abroad.
The struggle escalated dramatically in March 2015, while Saudi Arabia and eight other most commonly Sunni Arab states – sponsored via the united states, UK, and France – started air moves in opposition to the Houthis, with the declared intention of restoring Mr Hadi’s executive.
Yemen: Who Is fighting whom? Key Houthi reliable killed in Yemen The Fear of lifestyles below siege in Yemen
The Saudi-led coalition feared that endured success of the Houthis might give their rival nearby energy and Shia-majority state, Iran, a foothold in Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s southern neighbour. Saudi Arabia says Iran is backing the Houthis with weapons and logistical toughen – a rate Iran denies.
Both aspects have considering that been beset by means of infighting. The Houthis broke with Saleh and he was killed via Houthi fighters in December 2017. At The anti-Houthi aspect, militias come with separatists looking for independence for south Yemen and factions who oppose the idea.
The stalemate has produced an unrelenting humanitarian concern, with no less than 8.4 million other people at risk of hunger and 22.2 million other people – 75% of the inhabitants – in need of humanitarian assistance, in step with the UN. Critical acute malnutrition is threatening the lives of almost FOUR HUNDRED,000 kids under the age of five.
Yemen’s health device has all however collapsed, at the same time as the world’s biggest cholera outbreak has killed thousands.
In June 2018, Saudi-backed executive forces started an assault on the key rebel-held port of Hudaydah, the entry aspect for the vast majority of aid going into Yemen and a lifeline for the starving. Assist companies warned the offensive could make Yemen’s humanitarian catastrophe much worse. | <urn:uuid:5b07af8d-b10e-4742-8487-5f659135f6bd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://allworldsnews.com/worlds/yemen-conflict-defined-in-400-words/42 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.953416 | 577 | 2.40625 | 2 |
