The newest trend-setting development,
the laser-welded Pad Drive Disk RED SHARK
The new laser-welded pad drive disk generation with previously unachieved technical properties.
The Pad Disk Drive RED SHARK is a development which once and for all eliminates all disadvantages of previous pad drive disks. RED SHARK is absolutely resistant to stress, protects the pads, and revolutionises the costs of the cleaning process.
Gutmann RED SHARK - fully leak-proof
The harpoon drive face is sealed to the drive disk by a peripherally welded seam over the surface. Furthermore, all functionally relevant penetrations are welded so that the RED SHARK is the first 100 percent dust and water-tight pad drive disk.
There is no opportunity for dirt and bacteria to form under the harpoon drive face. Universal deployment of RED SHARK when workplaces are switched and in hygienically sensitive application areas. | <urn:uuid:258fb3f2-698e-4f42-821e-fdf38b4afd03> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.egutmann.de/red-shark-en.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.892694 | 194 | 1.5 | 2 |
Great men make laws, and greater men interpret them.
If a leader wishes to achieve immortality, let him organize, arrange, and codify a body of law for his people. Many of the greatest leaders (Numa Pompilia, Lycurgus, Solon, etc.) have been lawgivers. The monuments of stone have crumbled, but the laws remain.
To codify is to bestow immortality.
The Roman emperor Justinian (482-565) has achieved his fame primarily because of one priceless gift to posterity: his codification of Roman law in his Code and his Digest. No one now really remembers his wars to reconquer North Africa and Italy; and even Hagia Sophia now goes by another name, and receives the chants of a different creed. But his legislative work is the bedrock on which all European civil law was later based. The importance of this cannot be overstated.
Before him, Roman law was a conflicting chaos of edicts, statutes, rules, regulations, and interpretive case-law. Some decisions overtly contradicted each other; and there was much that was vague or obsolete.
There were even some codes that had been drawn up before him, primarily that of Theodosius II; but these proved inadequate to the task of providing predictability and consistency for the law courts. Something better was needed.
Justinian announced his plan to organize and collate the entire body of Roman law within several months of acceding to the throne. Ten expert jurists were appointed to oversee the work, the most distinguished of these being the jurists Tribonian and Theophilus; the latter was a professor of law at Constantinople.
The commission must have worked with extreme rigor, for the task was finished and presented to the world on April 7, 529. This Code–which filled ten books–has not survived the centuries. However, an amended and updated version appeared five years later, and this we do have.
It is one of the crowning glories in the history of governance.
This work, filling twelve volumes, dealt with 4652 laws and statutes. In addition to this, work had proceeded on codifying the body of “case law” (i.e., judge-made law). There was a massive corpus of jurisprudence in this area, much of it scattered around the provinces of the Eastern and Western halves of the empire. These legal opinions (called responsa prudentium) were as inconsistent as the statutes.
It was determined that the opinions of certain jurists should be given primary weight: Gaius, Ulpian, Papinian, Paulus, and Modestinus. Before Justinian, the emperors Theodosius II and Valentinian III had decreed a so-called “Law of Citations”: under this directive, the judge should base his decision on the opinions of the majority. If such opinions balanced out equally, the controlling authority of Papinian should control.
This was the theory, at least. In practice, things were not so easy to implement. What was needed was some body of work that settled all important legal controversies once and for all. Justinian therefore directed the publication of a set of books that would do just this; it was called the “Fifty Decisions.”
At the end of 530, the emperor formed a commission of 16 eminent lawyers and jurists, under the leadership of Tribonian, to begin work on what would eventually be called the Digest. As already stated, the goal would be to collect, collate, synthesize, and publish all Roman case law in one reference work.
Tribonian was a competent leader as well as scholar, for he was able to organize the commission into various committees for maximum effectiveness. The work took over three years of steady labor, but it was finished. In 533, the entire work–fifty volumes containing the legal history of over 1300 years–was issued under an imperial edict. It was known as the Pandects, or more commonly, the Digest.
The publication of the Code and the Digest superseded everything that had come before it.
Other innovations followed. Several professors of law, in consultation with Tribonian, issued a handbook of the civil law for the use of students called the Institutions. The reform of legal education was also addressed.
In all we have the Code, the Digest, and the Institutions, which together comprise what came to be known as the Corpus Iuris Civilis. It is this body of law, as a whole, that all European law is ultimately based. Although Justinian’s law was not officially accepted in England, it did unofficially influence English law to a great degree.
Justinian abolished all the law schools of the empire except those at Constantinople and Berytus, and mandated that law programs should be five years in length. Unqualified teachers were forbidden to teach, and the entire process assumed an organization and rigor not previously known. And as these works were issued in Latin (after Justinian, Greek would gradually replace it), his work ensured that the Latin language would permeate all of European law.
It was an incredible work of scholarship, executed nearly flawlessly. Here, finally, was not just a collection of rules and regulations, but a living record of the entire history of Roman jurisprudence. It ensured that courts all over the empire would, in theory, know what was expected of them and which opinions would control.
It brought order out of chaos, and permitted commerce, education, and justice to flourish. He who wishes to unlock the creative energies of a people, and to see that justice is both uniform and consistent, should ignore the squabbling legislatures, and focus on the law courts. Justinian’s work in legal reform must count as among the most influential events in European history.
Any monkey can pass laws. Only a wise leader can foresee how they may be interpreted and enforced.

Lighting the menorah: ‘Make the world a better place’
About 100 people attended a Hanukkah ceremony at Grand Parade Square
December 5, 2018, 8:07 am ASTLast Updated: December 5, 2018, 3:14 pm
For Denise Nevo, it’s important for her grandchildren to attend Halifax’s menorah lighting because it connects them more to their religion.
Nevo said her five-year-old grandson is the only Jewish person in his class and is influenced by Christmas celebrations. He’s told her he doesn’t want to be Jewish because he wants to celebrate Christmas.
“We wanted him to have pride in who we are and, so, by putting a big emphasis on Hanukkah it sort of counter-balances the influence of Christmas,” said Nevo.
About 100 people attended Monday’s menorah lighting ceremony at Grand Parade. Rabbi Mendel Feldman lit two candles on a menorah to celebrate the second day of Hanukkah. The menorah was about as tall as a house, so Feldman was lifted on a small crane to reach the candles.
Hanukkah started during the 2nd century BCE when a Jewish army forced their Greek rulers from Israel for trying to implement Greek religion on to them. The Jewish people had to purify their Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Greeks put their own idols in it. After that was completed, they only had a day’s supply of olive oil left to light the menorah. Miraculously, the light lasted for eight days until more oil arrived. Hanukkah is the celebration of the light miracle.
Feldman said the message of Hanukkah is to “reach out more,” no matter what a person accomplishes.
“In very simple terms, acts of goodness, acts of kindness, share your resources whatever it may be,” he said. “Bring it out to the world to make the world a better place.”
On Oct. 27, 11 people were killed in a shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Feldman said in the aftermath of an event like that, Hanukkah’s message becomes stronger.
“When there is something sad, something so tragic, it only intensifies the message of Hanukkah, that you can’t chase away darkness,” said Feldman. “The only way to fight against darkness is with light.”
Halifax resident Judy Pottier said Monday’s event was her first time at the menorah lighting.
“It was important for me this year; there has been a lot going on in the world with what happened in Pittsburgh a month ago,” she said. “It’s like solidarity and it was important to come.”
Many of the events that proceeded and took place after the lighting were directed towards children. They included a person in a dreidel costume, a fire performer and puzzles during a reception in city hall.
About 30 children attended the lighting.
Nevo thinks it is important to show her grandson he is a part of a community.
“In school they celebrate Christmas and he’s the only Jew in his class. Here he is with other children who also celebrate Hanukkah and celebrate Jewish holidays,” she said.
The remaining six candles on the Grand Parade menorah will be lit over the next six days of Hanukkah.

Kare Anderson of Say it Better pointed out this piece of fiction to me from The New Yorker magazine. “Raj, Bohemian” is about a guy getting the distinct feeling that everyone around him has fallen into an endless cycle of promoting things. It gets to be a little much when he realizes that some of the people in his circle do this for a living, as a way of spreading the word around about their clients’ products and services. Word of mouth marketing gone stealth. The Pay Per Post of the spoken word. It makes me wonder about our online communities and the notion of reputation.
The Internet is perfect for this kind of thing. We don’t even have to see our face to face friends. Our new social network “friends” can tell us plenty about products without telling us whether they’re being paid to talk about it. Should we be critical? Should we see advertisers under every stone?
Stealth Pitching and Communities
People are more wired than ever before. It’s real easy to find holes in information, simple to fact check a little bit. To that end, companies that are willing to risk their community’s trust by pitching in a stealthy way are taking chances with their brand. Every time we see a Walmarting Across America, that sticks with us. Sometimes, we change our behavior as consumers because of it. Other times, we don’t.
By the way, I’m sure these tactics work, so let’s not discount the fact that stealth pitching brings in cold hard cash for companies.
I should point out that apathy is in abundance on such matters, and has been since the end of the 1960s (at least in America). We learned how not to trust our government. We understood that companies were (are) in it for the money. And in lots of cases, we shrug and we don’t care. Not all of us, surely, but there are plenty of people who shrug off the things big companies do, and just accept them as the status quo.
Maybe you’re someone who fights against such moments. Me? Admittedly, I fall into the “apathetic” category from time to time. I shop at Wal-Mart sometimes, even though I know the negatives that go with it.
So, here we are with a lot of questions, and not many answers. We are awash in opportunities to be covertly influenced on our social networks of choice.
It Comes Back to Trust
I have a very healthy respect for staying true to this community. I never want you to wonder whether something I’m raving about is because someone paid me to say it. It’s just not on the table. When I feel there’s an external influence to something I’m saying (like if I talk about Utterz, I always try to mention that I’m on the advisory board), then I will do my very best to separate that from random ravings about something. The currency of my relationship with you is trust. You won’t bother reading what I have to say if you wonder about my ulterior motives.
Am I completely unbiased? No. Is anyone?
Mechanisms for trust need to find their way into social networks. Reputation systems, not unlike the ones created in eBay and LinkedIN and Amazon, would help add much needed context and history and transparency to the “me” that floats around on the web, on Twitter, on Facebook. Perhaps this is an opt-in situation, like logging in via OpenID, or maybe it’s just some kind of 3rd party validation system you can send someone to, should a conversation veer into waters where it’s necessary.
I’m not suggesting that privacy be surrendered. This isn’t something that requires people give up the option of having an anonymous persona on the web. Instead, I’m saying that for people who seek to represent themselves for who they are, a reputation engine might be one way to clear up some of the fears of blind, stealth pitching.
Doing an Honest Job
I think advertising and marketing and public relations can be done honestly, and that turning pitches into conversations isn’t inherently evil. I believe people DO want to understand products and services, and have a relationship with certain brands. My concern is with tactics, and especially with how people might use social networks and social media to forward an agenda without being explicit about their involvement.
I never want to discount the good work professional advertising, marketing, and PR people are doing with social networks.
Are You Secretly Being Pitched?
Some would argue that we’re ALL pitching something. When I use Twitter to share the link to this post, that’s a pitch. When I show you my nifty new ebook, that’s a pitch. But the question is more on the hidden motives, more than whether or not you’re being encouraged in one direction or another.
What’s your take? on all this?

The FTP Client supports long filenames. Long filenames in Windows can contain spaces. The only characters that are not allowed are:
\ / : * ? " < > |
The following length limitations apply:
Maximum path (excluding the filename): 246 characters (including drive letter, : character and \ character). This limit of 246 allows for the addition of a filename in the standard 8.3 format with the terminating null character.
Maximum filename: 256 characters (including terminating null character)
Maximum fully qualified name (path + filename): Varies slightly with different Windows operating systems. Use 259 characters to ensure a valid path for all Windows systems.
Working with filenames that contain spaces
When you use FTP or SFTP commands, any filename that contains spaces must be enclosed in double quotation marks. For rules on how quotation marks are used, see the Quotation Marks in FTP or SFTP Commands topic.
Working with server filenames that contain prohibited characters or are too long
For file transfers to the PC, the FTP Client automatically ensures that the name given to the file on your PC is valid in Windows by using the following rules:
Strip all illegal characters. Example: fast*lane becomes fastlane.
Invalid characters are: \ / : * ? " < > |
If necessary, truncate the filename. In Windows, the length limitations described above are applied.
The Windows path is always preserved. If the server filename plus the destination Windows path is greater than the maximum allowed, the server filename is truncated.
If the filename begins with a period, the appropriate number of characters are removed from the end of the filename. If the filename contains periods, the client determines the location of the last period in the name and truncates the appropriate number of characters to the left of the period.
If you want transfers from a server site to automatically derive a valid DOS name when the server filename is too long or when it contains invalid characters, select theoption on the tab in the dialog box. | <urn:uuid:b3299eca-dfe4-4a63-ab1b-560283a7699e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/reflection-desktop/17-1/rdesktop-guide/t_6503.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.821999 | 414 | 2.140625 | 2 |
Welcome to the Skylarks Reconnecting Curriculum Page
We will be teaching children previous skills to help them build on what they already know. That's why we have come up with a 'Reconnecting' Curriculum. This will help us to establish key skills that children have forgotten and help connect those links back together again.
Routines and Reminders
In Year 3 our day starts at 8.45am and finishes at 3.15pm.
- Our P.E. day is Wednesday so please send your child dressed in their kit for the day.
- Homework will be handed out on a Friday and will need to be returned on a Tuesday to be marked. Spellings will be stuck in so please encourage your child to complete this sheet too.
- A BUGCLUB book will be allocated to your child and will be sent home every Friday. Please send this back into school by Tuesday so we can allocate another one to them. Also, please sign the log and add in any additional comments. The expectation is that your child reads their BUGCLUB book every week. We will increase this as the term progresses.
- BUGCLUB and TTRS logins will be placed in the front of your child's homework book, please log on at home where possible.

A number of things have been going on over my brief sejourn from the blogging world.
Senate Reform… Prime Minister Harper has put forward a Bill C-43: The Senate Appointments Consultations Act, Senate reform package which would allow Senators to be elected through preferential elections.
I don’t oppose Senate reform, but I do have unanswered questions about some of the outcomes, mostly because I don’t think many Canadians have thought about “what are the political concequences of having an elected Senate?”
I agree that the appointed Senate which Canadians currently have is an antiquated and archane method of chosing an Upper House, but it’s more the consiquances of an elected Senate that I’m interested in. Reforming the Senate could completely redefine Canadian politics and has the potential to remove power from the House of Commons. Not to mention that I’m not sure the Senate as a House of Parliament will be any more effective if it became elected (*cough*a la House of Commons*cough*)
The eight year term which the Tories propose seems like a number drawn out of a hat, it’s alot better than “for life” but still quite random. Will a Senator be allowed to run for re-election? Should Senators be elected through a province-wide elections or through large district elections? (Will Ontario elected 24 Senators from Toronto?)
I’m very interested to see how a move like this will effect the power of the provinces on a national scale, who will be the voice of the Provinces in Ottawa? As most proponants of Senate reform and Triple-E Senate reform would say, having an elected Senate would give the provinces a better voice in Ottawa. But would it? Would Senators displace Premiers as the voices of the Provinces in Ottawa? Would Senators be federal politicians representing their province in Ottawa or provincial politicians representing their Provincial government in Ottawa? I’m sure there are some Premiers who may not like one of the results…
Also, would political parties collect public funding from the votes their recieve from Senate elections similar to what they recieve in House of Commons elections? $1.75 per vote?
If anyone would care to take a stab at answering or if you have any other questions, pop them in the comment box… | <urn:uuid:65a754d6-39d8-4d93-af4b-e7307c988d3a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://daveberta.ca/2007/01/reforming-canadas-senate/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.966317 | 487 | 1.648438 | 2 |

Protein Arginine Deiminases (PADs) catalyze the post-translational conversion of peptidyl-Arginine to peptidyl-Citrulline in a calcium-dependent, irreversible reaction. Evidence is emerging that PADs play a role in carcinogenesis. To determine the cancer-associated functional implications of PADs, we designed a small molecule PAD inhibitor (called Chor-amidine or Cl-amidine), and tested the impact of this drug on the cell cycle. Data derived from experiments in colon cancer cells indicate that Cl-amidine causes a G1 arrest, and that this was p53-dependent. In a separate set of experiments, we found that Cl-amidine caused a significant increase in microRNA-16 (miRNA-16), and that this increase was also p53-dependent. Because miRNA-16 is a putative tumor suppressor miRNA, and others have found that miRNA-16 suppresses proliferation, we hypothesized that the p53-dependent G1 arrest associated with PAD inhibition was, in turn, dependent on miRNA-16 expression. Results are consistent with this hypothesis. As well, we found the G1 arrest is at least in part due to the ability of Cl-amidine-mediated expression of miRNA-16 to suppress its' G1-associated targets: cyclins D1, D2, D3, E1, and cdk6. Our study sheds light into the mechanisms by which PAD inhibition can protect against or treat colon cancer.

*Dr. Caccamise has very generously shared his images of patients taken while operating during the "eye season" in rural India as well as those from his private practice during the 1960's and 1970's. Many of his images are significant for their historical perspective and for techniques and conditions seen in settings in undeveloped areas.
Congenital posterior polar cataract
The photo shows a classic congenital posterior polar cataract. It is a stationary cataract which is not to be confused with a posterior subcapsular cataract which is progressive and interfers with vision long before the rest of the lens has become cataractous. The posterior polar cataract is rarer than the anterior polar cataract.

Your Ego, your personality manager
Your ego: an introduction
Ego?! Yes, we know about ego’s. Usually men’s ego’s!
Blaming is all about ego. And NO, not just about men’s egos – it’s all about our ego’s as human beings. Have a look at the picture below: sitting behind your desk, your feet on the desk and just feeling good about yourself, just like yourself as a person. That is what ego implies: Ego is the manager of our personalities and it’s biggest need is to feel good about himself (or herself).
Now, how is an ego formed?
Firstly, the ego is formed by telling yourself good things about yourself, like “I am good enough”. You are thus giving yourself positive feedback of yourself, for example: “Iva likes me and she thinks I’m a good friend”; “I’m making a difference in someone’s life”, etcetera.
But, the ego is also formed by telling yourself bad (or negative) things about yourself: “I’m not a good mom”. Maybe you think “I don’t have any university qualifications and therefore I am inferior compared to my friends”. What about “I’m fat and ugly” or “I don’t have self confidence”, etcetera.
The ego is further formed by interpreting the feedback (positive or negative) that you receive from others: “Other people don’t like me”; “My boss thinks Mark does this job better than I did” or on a more positive side: “My boss thinks I’m great”or “I handled this situation well”.
Your ego and blaming
Back to the blaming issue:
In order to feel good about yourself, you learn defending mechanisms (to boost your ego to feel good). For example blaming others instead of taking responsibility for your own actions. Or withdrawing from a situation where you feel inferior and accusing other people of not acknowledging and understanding you. It can be drinking too much in order to have confidence to “speak out” in front of other people.
So, we all have ego’s, because we are human. But have you ever thought about what your defending mechanisms are? Start to recognize them, try to stop using them and become an anti- blamer, anti- over-drinker, anti- withdrawing person. Become a pro “I am good enough the way I am” person. This is food for your ego.
Most people don’t even know that they have defending mechanisms. So, why is it good to know what your defending mechanisms are? Well, by knowing what they are, you can focus on minimising them, or using them less. Start saying: I don’t blame others, but I take responsibility for my actions. I don’t withdraw from friends, because I rather learn more self assertiveness and start to belief that I can’t expect others to respect me if I don’t respect myself. I don’t need to drink too much as I would rather learn some skills to better socialize and communicate with other people.
And start treating your EGO well, saying “hi EGO, you are a great buddy!!”
According to the website Britannica.com, the definition of ego is:
Ego, in psychoanalytic theory, that portion of the human personality which is experienced as the “self” or “I” and is in contact with the external world through perception. It is said to be the part that remembers, evaluates, plans, and in other ways is responsive to and acts in the surrounding physical and social world. According to psychoanalytic theory, the ego coexists with the id (said to be the agency of primitive drives) and superego (considered to be the ethical component of personality) as one of three agencies proposed by Sigmund Freud in description of the dynamics of the human mind. | <urn:uuid:0fcd8e93-a784-49ed-ab28-a34d5f1f0d90> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.educationalpsychologisttherapist.com/your-ego-your-personality-manager/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572908.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817122626-20220817152626-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.952706 | 884 | 2.578125 | 3 |
Around the time the pandemic was easing and shock from the Capitol riot was settling in, Jason Tigano had an epiphany: “We all deserve better than getting back to normal.”
It has become his tagline and it’s why Tigano, a consultant with experience in government, nonprofits and real estate, created LEVEL: Equity Buildings, that is testing his idea of developing homeowners while developing housing stock. He wants Pittsburgh to remain a place where Pittsburghers can live.
“I’m tired of not seeing revitalization happening in our communities, and when it does, there’s displacement,” says Tigano. “People tell me their stories; they can’t get a mortgage. It doesn’t make sense. If you’re living in that neighborhood, you’re somehow invested. If you’re paying rent, it’s close to a mortgage.”
Tigano founded LEVEL after a community group in McKees Rocks sought his help to deal with abandoned housing. Tigano and a friend, Marc Little of Emery Construction Services, sorted through the borough’s list of 250 vacant and condemned houses and chose 50 they could fix up.
Using grants and donations, the nonprofit organization will buy and renovate the blighted properties and then help renters become homebuyers by teaching them how to secure a mortgage, obtain utilities and care for their property. LEVEL’s first remodeled home, at 310 Gardner St., will go to Dennis and Sammie Guy when they close on their mortgage at the end of August.
“Everybody deserves to have a chance to own a home,” says Tigano. “When you can own a home and put down roots and care about your neighbors and the place where you live, you have opportunities. We have to create these opportunities, and it’s not just getting the mortgage; it’s maintaining the home. If you understand how to manage the asset, it’s going to create equity for you.”
LEVEL has purchased nine other homes in McKees Rocks and raised money in grants and donations, including $1.3 million from Allegheny County and $1 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. The Hillman Foundation provided $250,000 to the project last year through a grant to Neighborhood Allies. LEVEL is also working with the McKees Rocks Community Development Corporation and Focus on Renewal.
McKees Rocks Mayor David Flick says in a Facebook post that he initially wondered whether LEVEL’s idea would come to fruition. Now the nonprofit has sold its first home “at a sensible market rate,” Flick says. “If McKees Rocks is to thrive, it must repopulate with owner-occupied housing. We must begin to create generational wealth here, from the inside out. This project will help us to do that.”
Many of the borough’s residential properties are vacant, rundown and tax delinquent. The 2020 Census shows 5,920 people living in McKees Rocks in 2,949 households. About 44% of homes in the borough are owner-occupied, according to the census, with a median value of $53,000. Tigano believes the percentage is actually much lower and that deeds haven’t been updated. But no matter the percentage, he says, “when you’ve got that much rental property in a community, you’ve got a problem.”
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald met with Tigano early on and backs his idea, saying there’s a need to ensure that affordable housing is available in municipalities across the county. LEVEL’s innovative model can provide “a new era of housing,” he says.
Tigano worked for Rep. Mike Doyle, and later for the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh. He has served on the boards of Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh and NeighborWorks Western Pennsylvania. That varied experience taught him that community organizations, however well-meaning, have limitations — mostly, they can’t afford to purchase large amounts of real estate. Many lack staff and resources.
“There’s only so much money to go around; it’s not because nobody cares,” he says. “Even the most sophisticated community groups need help — they lack certain pieces. There’s a gap in the process. … Somebody needs to get this property and reactivate it. The communities that are struggling can only do so many per year, and it’s not a lot. They’re trying to do five or six a year, and doing five units a year isn’t enough to prevent gentrification and keep residents there.”
Most government funding for housing goes toward developers who produce rentals, Tigano says. “It doesn’t matter where you go in the country, when somebody stands up and says, ‘We just built 100 units of housing,’ all the dollars available publicly for affordable housing are rentals. The low-income housing tax credit for developers is a rental tax credit. And, it’s all income-restricted.”
Rather than bolster rental assistance programs, Tigano wants to help people create equity. LEVEL has signed an agreement with the Allegheny County Housing Authority allowing people in Section 8 housing to use their vouchers for mortgage payments instead of rent. The authority manages about 6,000 housing vouchers.
“Their work to lower the barriers to homeownership and provide sustainable life skills to residents is a model for other communities across the county to collaborate with,” says Frank Aggazio, the authority’s executive director.
The nonprofit took its name from Tigano’s goal to keep people “on the level path to homeownership.” That means teaching people to pay down debt and save money for not just a down payment but also a home maintenance fund.
“We’re trying to meet buyers where they’re at, but they have a certain level of responsibility,” he says.
LEVEL also reached an agreement with 5 Generations Bakers in McKees Rocks to create an employer-assisted housing program. Any employee who wants to become a homeowner through LEVEL’s program will get $2,000 toward a down payment and closing costs; Tigano would match that with grant money.
How long this takes will vary from person to person, Tigano says. Some folks might be ready in months, but most will require a year or more, since many people are dealing with generational traumas and other barriers, he says.
“One of the anecdotes I tell funders is that one person said to me, ‘I’ve got a better chance of going to the moon than buying a home,’” he says. “It hit me — what the hell is going on in our world? So we talk about what being a homeowner could be, and why that’s important.”
LEVEL’s work is all volunteer; Tigano has no staff yet. The money raised has gone toward buying and rehabilitating homes. Tigano has no doubt about succeeding, but it’s slow going until he can raise more money. There’s some urgency, since out-of-state investors and those in other countries often snatch up low-priced real estate.
“It’s the fierce urgency of now,” Tigano says. “We are late to the game.”
Tigano’s goal is to renovate 15 to 25 homes a year in McKees Rocks, and eventually to do the same elsewhere in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area.
“I want to own hundreds of properties,” he says. “If you came back three years later, the addresses would be different, because I’ve sold them, but I’d still own hundreds of properties … We need to be invited in by a community, the municipality or a nonprofit. We don’t want to be an outsider pushing our way in.”
Increasing the number of homeowners in a community can change other outcomes, Tigano says, including health, education and workforce.
“So many of the things that are socially valuable, those things all improve with homeownership,” he says. “These outcomes are not insignificant; they are measurable. I’ve made the commitment to McKees Rocks for at least five years. If we can do 100 homes, if we start to diligently and intentionally move through these priority areas, we think there are some really exciting things. We can create equity for the community, for homeowners, for neighbors. If we’re successful at this, we think we can do something very powerful in McKees Rocks.” | <urn:uuid:c92d66a2-28ac-483c-a147-d5c852036297> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://nextpittsburgh.com/city-design/how-to-empower-first-time-homebuyers-its-happening-in-mckees-rocks/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.957378 | 1,859 | 1.539063 | 2 |
Azerbaijan is marking the 30th anniversary of Black January on Monday. This day thirty years ago the Soviet troops invaded capital Baku to crush the independence movement that gained momentum with the crumbling of the Soviet republic. Azerbaijanis call the Russian intervention a bloody and brutal crackdown that killed nearly 200 people.
On the other side of the narrative, the Russian intervention was meant to suppress the anti-Armenian campaign that co-exited with the independence movement. Ever since the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh began in the late 1980s, thousands of Armenians had been killed while several more thousands had fled.
The high point of the Russian invasion was on January 20, then a bloody crackdown on Azerbaijanis resulted in the death of scores of protesters. An army firing on protesters in Baku killed more than 200 people on January 20, 1990. The dead did not only include Azerbaijanis but also Armenians and Jews.
However, the brutal crackdown strengthened the Azerbaijan independence movement and the erstwhile Soviet province became an independent nation in the following year. The day is also known as Black Saturday or the January Massacre. The end result of the Russian military action was the death of the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic that lasted 71 years.
How it played out
Azerbaijani independence movement leaders attempted to overthrow the Soviet-Azerbaijani government even as the Gorbachev doctrine saw the retreat of the Soviets from Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The Soviet leadership under Communist Party General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev decided to declare martial law and send in troops.
Some 26,000 Soviet troops invaded Baku, the Azerbaijani capital, on the night of January 19, 1990 after Moscow declared the emergency. However, Gorbachev repented the move later. "The declaration of a state emergency in Baku was the biggest mistake of my political career." Gorbachev said later.
The conflict between the Armenians of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region and the Azerbaijanis that broke out in 1988 contributed to make the Azerbaijani independence movement a more vexing matter. The Russian military action happened in the backdrop of the continued fight between the Azerbaijanis and the Armenians.
Going further back in history, the 1918 capture of Baku by the Azerbaijani nationalists, with the aid of Turkey, was a landmark event in the history of the region. The Soviet presence ever since helped the simmering racial tension under control but the absence of Moscow's direct power on Baku led to the breakout of the conflict.
The Azerbaijani resistance against the Soviet Communist leadership was marred by internal squabbles that snowballed into a pogrom against the Armenians living in the country. The Human Rights Watch had said in a report that the rhetoric of the Independence movement was "heavily anti-Armenian". The Popular Front of Azerbaijan, which led the impendence movement, had been pivotal in the attack on Armenians, it was reported. The attacks on Armenians peaked in early January, with the killing of more than 90 people and the fleeing of thousands more.
Eventually, the Armenians and the Azerbaijanis agreed on a ceasefire in 1994, ending the full-scale conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The battle in the early 90s resulted in the pushing out of Azerbaijani troops from vast regions inside Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous patch of land inside the Azerbaijan territory. As per international law, it's part of Azerbaijan, but the majority ethnic Armenians have established self-government with the support of Armenia. The full resolution to the conflict has not yet arrived. | <urn:uuid:463238cf-b386-44a8-9184-c9b09932fd1f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ibtimes.sg/what-black-january-azerbaijani-freedom-nagorno-karabakh-conflict-remembered-37969 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.965425 | 760 | 3.515625 | 4 |
Leave your phone at home, or at least turn it off, if you want to benefit from your workout. According to a new study, talking or texting on a smartphone while exercising and working up a sweat reduces the intensity of a workout and in fact affects your balance.
Michael Rebold, Assistant Professor at Hiram College in the US found that texting and talking can have a negative effect on one’s balance during everyday activities. This is the first known study to examine the effects of cell phone use on postural stability.
“If you are talking or texting on your cell phone while you are putting in your daily steps, your attention is divided by the two tasks and that can disrupt your postural stability, and therefore, possibly predispose individuals to other greater inherent risks such as falls and musculoskeletal injuries,” said Michael Rebold.
The study, which examined 45 college students, showed that cell phone texting while exercising significantly impacts postural stability – by 45 per cent – in comparison to no cell phone use. The investigation also showed that talking on a cell phone while exercising reduces postural stability by 19 per cent. Listening to music on a cell phone, on the other hand, has no notable impact on postural stability during exercise, the study showed.
The study appears in the journal Computers in Human Behaviour. | <urn:uuid:5ef7cfa9-4987-4e4d-9c31-c5a98f15faba> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pinfaves.com/dont-text-talk-exercising-leave-phone-home/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.955146 | 287 | 3.15625 | 3 |
You only have to look at recent tv documentaries, the news bulletins and school curriculum to notice the current poor condition of our planet today. Everyone knows that climate change is a thing and that the ice caps are melting like nothing before. But how many people are really thinking about it or understand the true consequences of our 21st century actions. How many people are actively trying to reduce their environmental impact, changing their daily habits and influencing others? Only now, are scientists and tv producers starting to share particularly shocking and stark figures. Is this the only way for our population to comprehend the future?
Hitchin Food Rescue Hub is an environmental initiative. It is run and maintained purely by volunteers with a very generous grant from the council which kick started the programme. Why are we here? Because our planet is running on empty and the resources we need and use are becoming ever more precious. We are filling every little gap in-between the housing and developments to discard our single or no-use rubbish into. It’s becoming a problem. A problem already too large to reverse the damage but not yet beyond our control. Hitchin Food Rescue Hub is here because we want to ensure we contribute to reducing the quantity of perfectly good food being dumped in our once green and pleasant land.
I won’t make a difference, said 7.5 billion people.
- One third of food produced globally for human consumption is wasted. (1)
- In the UK, three quarters of UK households’ food waste is still edible. (2)
- In our home county, 21% of the average purple bin in North Herts is made up of food waste. (3)
Food waste amounts to a major squandering of the planets resources; water, land, energy, labour and capital. The energy, machinery, money and all our resources needed to grow, maintain, keep, preserve, transport and package food is excessive. To then waste this, is taking liberty on our own planet.
Much of the food thrown out globally, ends up in landfill. This eventually rots, releasing methane gas. Methane gas is termed as a ‘greenhouse gas’, contributing to climate change. Similarly, food production requires a huge amount of oil, to grow, transport, store, and cook food. Another hidden unaccounted-for greenhouse gas which is wasted alongside the food and both contributing to food waste having detrimental impacts upon the environment. So not only are we exploiting our natural resources, but we are now contributing to the rising temperatures.
Hitchin Food Rescue Hub hopes to influence everyone who walks through the door, starting by bringing your own reusable bag, rescuing your chosen food, making a donation and taking it home to cook and serve with your family and friends. The process doesn’t end at the door of the Hub, but should spark conversation at home or in the working environment, and shape others behavioural actions. We hope that with your rescued food, you will reconsider what impacts you can encourage on other aspects of your daily life. We can’t wait share a smile and a story or two. See you at the Hub!

If you are one of the few plant lovers left in this world and have been planning to make a mini backyard greenhouse for yourself for years, this might be the perfect time to finally get on it. You probably would’ve done it a long time ago if someone had been kind enough to guide you through the process. You might still be confused on the best Frosted Glass you want for your greenhouse or on what kind of sheet you desire (it’s cheap Plexiglass sheets, always.)
Well, your choices vary depending on your budget and needs. Let’s take a look at how to make a mini greenhouse first. Click here to check out a selection of the plexiglass for your garden.
Structure of Your Greenhouse
Galvanized steel, aluminum, or wood framings are some of the options you might want to consider while laying down the structure for your greenhouse. Popularity-wise, wood has a head start. Just like another structure, the instructions for building a greenhouse from wood are the same.
Since a greenhouse traps solar radiation inside, the wood will be exposed to high levels of humidity. On the outside, however, it will find itself face to face with the sun more often than not. For this reason, make sure to use pressure-treated lumber and if possible, take the extra measure by painting and sealing it.
Just like wood, you can also use aluminum to build the structure. In fact, aluminum is lighter and way more durable when it comes to a wood structure. But unfortunately, it is quite expensive at the same time.
The most durable option out of all this is galvanized steel. There is also nothing quite as expensive like steel. You also need to stock up on the extra knowledge of welding and acquire the skills related to metalwork.
There is an alternative which is way less expensive. Plastic (PVC) pipes are good if you don’t live in an area prone to wind and snowstorms.
Covering the place
When it comes to the cover material for a greenhouse, the options are vast and can mainly be divided into glass and plastic. You can look for the best-frosted glass or choose economic options like cheap plexiglass sheets.
Traditionally, glass has always been the original greenhouse cover. The most well-known greenhouses around the world have a glass cover.
There are two main reasons why scientists opt for greenhouses with a glass cover. One is that looks good. You can peer inside from the outside and check on the outside from within the greenhouse if the cover is made of transparent glass. The second reason is easy maintenance polishing and cleaning glass is way easier than any other surface.
But glass tends to break easily. Initially, it’s also quite expensive. The frame for your greenhouse must be strong. Since glass is quite heavy, it, therefore, needs to hold up properly.
Acrylic glass sheets are durable
Acrylic plastics or polycarbonate sheets which are rigid and have a double layer usually make for a wonderful greenhouse covering. You don’t need to worry about light penetration, as the double-layer plastic sheets make sure you have ample amounts of illumination. The insulation from it is even better than glass. You can certainly save up on heating costs this way, especially if you live in a cold region.
Plastic sheets have a variety of options when it comes to thickness. They are also lighter and their costs are almost nonexistent. No matter the thickness grade for plastic sheets, the light penetration is as good as glass. However, you can’t allow yourself to think of them as a permanent companion for your greenhouse. In fact, five years is the maximum life span for PVC film.
Out of all this, your best option might be cheap plexiglass sheets. One reason for this is that it’s cheap. Two, in spite of its inexpensive rate, it is still quite durable. Unlike glass, it is also lightweight so you don’t have to worry about the frame.
Let the ample light in
Despite being lighter, the amount of penetration for light is equivalent to that of glass. The only thing you have to worry about dirt buildup.
This takes about 10 to 15 years to happen. Over time, the surface layer of your plexiglass sheet can degrade and dirt might be formed on it faster than you thought possible. The more the dirt builds up, the more it is blocked from light.
However, this is not something that can’t be avoided as long as you remember to clean the cover of your greenhouse – daily, if possible, with the weather conditions these days. Even if you can’t do it on a daily basis, make sure you clean it at least once or twice a week.
The instructions for cleaning plexiglass sheet are as straightforward as any other glass. A little bit of homemade vinegar with detergent or other mild products, your mop, a microfibre cloth, and a nice soak up of all the water after you’re done are needed so that no residue is left behind. This way, your greenhouse will be in tip-top condition on all days of the year.
Consider the Climate
Of course, one of the most important parts of a greenhouse is to make sure the weather inside is just right. Air circulation, ventilation, and humidity control – these are all things a greenhouse needs to have.
For heating, you can depend on natural gas, oil, and electricity. Choose wisely based on what’s more popular in the area you live in. You also need to make sure it is cost effective and the things that are readily available in your area will save on your transport costs.
Now that you know all you need to make your mini backyard greenhouse; it is time to get on it. For cheap plexiglass sheets or just glass for your greenhouse, you can order according to your specifications from Fab Glass. | <urn:uuid:d6a2f761-1045-4165-b1c5-4e63862c40d7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gardeningleave.org/creating-a-backyard-greenhouse-with-cheap-plexiglass-sheets/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.946741 | 1,231 | 2.3125 | 2 |
Cadwork Sizer interface
Cadwork is proud to announce the release of the WoodWorks® Sizer interface.
The goal for writing such an interface is obviously to gain speed, avoid errors and provide users with the ability to model a wood construction with more confidence right from the beginning. Cadwork can, with WoodWorks® Sizer, rely now on a simple and broadly used tool.
WoodWorks® Design Office is a suite of three programs (Sizer, Shearwalls, Connections) for wood design produced by the Canadian Wood Council. The interface uses the Sizer to size beams, joists, columns and wall studs.
While modeling in Cadwork, a user can select a beam or column in order to check it. Cadwork will automatically send information about the beam such as cross section, wood species to Sizer. The user can then fine tune data by selecting the grade, treatment, service condition and others. Before launching the calculation, the span can be adjusted and loads added.
The calculation results are summarized in a window that gives ratios for shear, bending, deflections as well as bearing reactions. Green flags mean the part passes and red means the part is undersized. As simple as that!
All of the above can be done without opening the Sizer software and therefore provides a fast way of checking individual members in a structure.
The application even has the ability to propose other cross sections combinations should the part be undersized or oversized in Cadwork 3D. If another cross section is more suitable, the model can be updated with a click.
Once the calculation is done, the user can choose to tag the part which enables to display results in the model at any time (see image below).
Should you have to print a report, a button enables the user to open Sizer which opens with all values previously entered. Therefore one can easily make modifications should someone need to edit settings not available in the Cadwork interface like bearing types and widths.
To use the interface, you need an up-to-date Cadwork V19/V21 and CDN Sizer 8.3/9.1 or US Sizer 10. All Cadwork clients who are up to date with their maintenance fee have access to the Sizer interface. Please request your free code at email@example.com

SAN ANTONIO – Pre-K 4 SA educates 2,000 students every year through its four education centers, and now those students, who are as young as 4 years old, are working to help others in the community via the Gracias San Antonio initiative.
Sarah Baray, the CEO of Pre-K 4 SA, said the yearlong initiative helps children learn about giving back to the community. In this project, children are auctioning off their art — all for a good cause.
“I myself have my eye on a few pieces and I put in a few bids and it all goes to a good cause,” she said. “And then we even have people that will bid from across the country,”
The idea is grounded in the belief that children are not just future citizens but are active citizens today.
“They learn about that nonprofit throughout the year. And this year they chose the THRU Project, which is helping youth as they age out of the foster care system,” Baray said.
It is a simple process that can do a lot of good.
“The children have worked with local artists to create art pieces which are now on exhibit at our East Center, and we are auctioning those pieces off to the public. And the money raised through that online auction will be used to support the THRU Project,” Baray said.
People can bid on the art online and in person. Bidding ends at 11:45 p.m. Sunday, April 24. The exhibit will be open to the public from 3-4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.
The program not only teaches kids about voting, but also teaches them how to be contributors to the community.
“And one of the things that happens throughout the year that really inspires the children for these art pieces is they go on city explorations with their teachers and their families to see all the great things that are going on in San Antonio,” Baray said.
This year’s goal is to raise $10,000 for the foster children in the THRU Project. | <urn:uuid:caeca422-2363-444c-9454-898e8fdd57f5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/04/19/pre-k-4-sa-students-auctioning-art-to-help-local-nonprofit/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.97522 | 438 | 1.898438 | 2 |

Recent work has demonstrated that cone photoreceptors are coupled to each other and to rod photoreceptors through gap junctions made of connexin 36 (Cx36) and that photoreceptor coupling is modulated by a circadian (24-h) clock in the retina, so that coupling is weak during the day and strong at night. Using recently developed phospho-specific antibodies against the two primary regulatory phosphorylation sites of Cx36: S110 and S293, we tested whether a circadian clock controls the phosphorylation state of Cx36 in mouse retina photoreceptors.
CBA/CaJ mice were sacrificed under infrared illumination during the subjective day or subjective night or under room lights during the day. Eyes were fixed in 1% carbodiimide in PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. A classical immunohistochemistry procedure was used to react retinal sections with a mixture of antibodies containing one of the two phospho-specific rabbit polyclonal anti-Cx36 antibodies (anti-phospho-S110 and anti-phospho-S293) and a mouse monoclonal antibody to Cx36 (anti-Cx35/36; Millipore). Secondary antibodies were conjugated to fluorescent dyes and signals were observed and photographed with confocal microscopy.
Cx36 immunoreactivity was detected in the OPL in each of the different experimental conditions. Although the number of Cx36 plaques did not change between subjective day and subjective night and light-adapted condition during the day, the phosphorylation state of Cx36 was different between the conditions. Specifically, Cx36 phosphorylation was low during the subjective day and during the day under light-adapted condition, but much higher during the subjective night.
The data demonstrate that a circadian clock controls the phosphorylation state of Cx36 and not the number of Cx36-containing gap junctions in photoreceptor cells. Thus, our work strongly suggests that the nighttime state, which is characterized by extensive photoreceptor coupling, results from the circadian clock-induced phosphorylation of Cx36.

Their bodies may be imperfect, but their spirit remains intact.
So it is said about the special needs cat. Although caring for one can be challenging, more and more people are opening their hearts and their homes and adopting them. For this reason, more and more cats that might otherwise be euthanized are being given a new lease on life.
Experts stress the importance of not viewing special needs cats as “handicapped.” Although they have certain limitations (including blindness, deafness or a combination of both, cerebellar hypoplasia and three-leggedness), they’re not “aware” of them, and can be as active, affectionate and playful as any other cat.
Adopters of special needs cats insist that the rewards far outweigh the work. Many use social media to share their experiences, to interact with owners like them, and to encourage others to adopt. They don’t see their cats’ medical or physical problems as shortcomings, and don’t believe they make them any ”less” of a cat.
Those interested in adopting a special needs cat should first fully inform themselves about that cat’s condition and limitations, requirements and maintenance. This should also include meeting with their vet, requesting a tutorial on administering any necessary medications, and openly discussing any concerns they might have.
Sadly, cats who are blind or deaf (or both) have been characterized as aggressive and unpredictable, prone to other health issues, even a shorter life span. Studies, however, have proven otherwise, showing that despite their obvious deficiencies, these cats are generally quite healthy and capable of living long, otherwise normal lives. And that, whether blind or deaf, they are no more aggressive or unpredictable than sighted or hearing cats.
Blind cats are trained through the use of both sound and scent cues. By relying on their highly developed sense of smell, their noses let them know where and what things are, and when combined with their owner’s reassuring voice and touch, helps them live easily and comfortably.
They quickly learn and “map out” their surroundings, and for added protection, have a “go to” place, where their food and water bowls, cat bed and toys (squeakies, crinklies and ones with bells inside are best) are placed on a distinctive mat and never moved. A runner or large area rug provides them with a safe play area because the traction is good and the edges clearly discernible. Sharp edges on furniture can be padded with bubble-wrap or foam pipe insulation to help prevent injury.
Deaf cats, who sleep more and meow loudly (they can't hear themselves) watch their owners more closely, taking cues from their behavior. They also pay closer attention to vibrations and air currents, while their “internal clocks” let them know when it’s mealtime. Deaf cats can be trained by using hand signals or the beam of a flashlight with treats as reinforcement. And because they startle easily, if their attention is elsewhere, owners should always approach them by walking with a “heavy foot” to get their attention and avoid being accidentally nipped.
Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia will be wobbly and uncoordinated to varying degrees and have characteristic head tremors when they try to focus on something. At times it may seem as if they’re heading in two directions at once, but they DO adapt to these challenges. Given a safe environment and barring any accidents caused by their lack of coordination, they live as long as “normal” cats and barely seem bothered by their condition.
Tripods (cats born with a limb missing or amputated) can live long, healthy lives with minimal adjustments (from special ramps and stairs to new litter boxes) in order to compensate for that limb. And because cats are both ingenious (such as adapting to new ways of self-grooming) and nimble, the loss of a leg usually doesn’t stop them from enjoying life to the fullest.
As the owners of special needs cats agree, their own lives have been irrevocably changed. By the endearing personalities, grace and determination of the cats they have adopted. By the gift of their cats’ contented meows and purrs, licks and cuddles. But most importantly, by the example they have set and the inspiration they have provided. | <urn:uuid:97c69180-6060-415c-96ef-7fbe3c8e51e6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thecatsmeowrescue.org/blog-feline-friends/-be-special-adopt-a-special-needs-cat | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.96442 | 912 | 3.015625 | 3 |
Spring is the very best time of year for trout fishing in Arizona so get your new rod and reel ready. The waters are warming just enough to bring a spring frenzy of spawning and feeding. The Arizona Game and Fish Department divides the state into seven zones: White Mountains, North Central Region, Mogollon Rim, Colorado River Northwest, Central Arizona, Southeastern Arizona and Southwestern Arizona. Each region has unique challenges and fantastic fishing waters, especially in the Spring when temperatures are mild and skies are blue every day.
The waters in the White Mountains sit above 6,500 feet and the area is dotted with alpine lakes nestled amidst pine and fir forests. While there are a few bass and catfish in some of these lakes, the majority of the fish are trout. The waters are stocked weekly from Memorial Day to Labor Day by the Game and Fish Department. The waters of the West Fork of the Black River are one of the few areas in Arizona where Apache trout exist.
The North Central region contains the rivers and streams around Flagstaff south to Camp Verde. Pine, fir and aspen forests yield to fantastic, soaring canyons filled with tumbling waters, as well as many smaller lakes and streams. You’ll find smallmouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish and roundtail chub, as well as wallee, largemouth bass and crappie in Lake Mary. Higher altitudes around Flagstaff and in Oak Creek contain the best wild brown trout population in the area.
The Mogollon Rim, the southern boundry of the Colorado Plateau, sits at 7,000 feet above sea level and is graced by soaring pine trees and cool summer breezes. With many small lakes and reservoirs, tumbling streams and rivers, this is trout country. The best stream fishing is found in Canyon Creek, Chevelon Creek and East Clear Creek, and the best lake fishing are Bear Canyon Lake, Chevelon Canyon Lake and Black Canyon Lake.
The Colorado River Northwest region includes the waters from Lake Powell to Lake Havasu. Four major reservoirs (Lake Mead, Lake Mojave, Lake Powell and Lake Havasu) as well as the Colorado River, offer a wide variety of fishing from striped bass to trout, largemouth bass to catfish. Except for the Grand Canyon itself, this is high desert terrain and can be punishing in the summer heat. This area is extremely remote and hard to reach, so it is a good idea to do a lot of research and go extremely well-prepared in case of misadventure.
Central Arizona sits smack in the middle of the Sonoran Desert and yet more fishing takes place on the lakes, streams, rivers and reservoirs than all of the other areas of the state combined. These waters provide the best largemouth bass, crappie and catfish angling in the state. Lakes Pleasant and Roosevelt are best for largemouth bass and crappie, while Roosevelt and Bartlett are best for catfish. The Salt River below Saguaro Lake is a terrific place to catch trout, especially in the summer months when the waters stay a cool 65 degrees.
Everyone thinks Arizona is nothing but desert, however, not only does Arizona have numerous mountain regions and forests, but it also has a grassland that stretches from Tucson to the Mexico border. Small lakes nestle in rolling hills dotted with oak trees and these waters are home to bass, bluegill and catfish, with a few trout in the winter months.
Stretching south from Yuma to the Mexico border, the Southwestern zone is a great place to see what the Colorado River looked like before European Settlers moved into the West. The stretch of river from Cibola National Wildlife Refuge to the Imperial Reservoir is a great place for trophy bass, as well as the Alamo Reservoir on the Bill Williams River.
Of course, any fishing in Arizona requires a permit. Permits are available practically anywhere, but certainly your hotel concierge can direct to the nearest location or even obtain permits for you. If you are camping, fishing permits can often be purchased right at the camp area or very nearby.

1 tn Heb “my loins,” “my bowels” (archaic), “my innermost being.” The latter option is reflected in the translation; some translations take the inner turmoil to be literal (NIV: “The churning inside me never stops”).
2 tn Heb “boils.”
3 tn The last clause reads “and they [it] are not quiet” or “do not cease.” The clause then serves adverbially for the sentence – “unceasingly.”
4 tn The construction uses the word קֹדֵר (qoder) followed by the Piel perfect of הָלַךְ (halakh, “I go about”). The adjective “blackened” refers to Job’s skin that has been marred by the disease. Adjectives are often used before verbs to describe some bodily condition (see GKC 374-75 §118.n).
6 tn The MT has “become dark from upon me,” prompting some editions to supply the verb “falls from me” (RSV, NRSV), or “peels” (NIV).
7 tn The word “my bones” may be taken as a metonymy of subject, the bony framework indicating the whole body.

My close family and friends love my cooking. To ensure to give the best, I go out of my way to use some of the most versatile available ingredients.
For most cooking, I use shallots because they bring out that mildness in them, which gives dishes a sweet taste. Moreover, even without garlic, the presence of shallot gives your food the most desired feeling.
When you ran out of Shallots in the kitchen, some of the available shallot substitutes include red onions, leeks, yellow onions, garlic, scallions, green onions, leeks, and garlic scapes.
Scallions are also known as spring onions.
They have white bulbs with green stems, and you can add them raw in any dish, and they’ll still provide a fantastic taste.
If you want to get a taste that’s closer to shallots, use the base only. The green parts go well with salads, dressings, and uncooked meals.
- Garlic scapes
Although you don’t come across them garlic scapes in grocery stores all the time, they have a strong and pungent taste.
This makes them a good substitute in the place of shallots.
Garlic scapes taste somewhere in between onions and garlic hence the strong scent. To avoid having so much on your dish, cut by at least ¾ to replace shallots.
- Red onions
As compared to white onions, red onions have that sweetness and mildness as that of shallots. A 1:1 ratio works perfectly in the place of shallots.
Red onions always bring that aroma in your food. Also, they go well in salads and dressing when chopped into thin slices.
Leeks don’t have a strong taste or scent, so they can work best in meals and salads that need shallots.
Leeks flavor doesn’t need an extra touch of garlic because the green part used in the same ratio as shallots will bring out the intended taste.
So that leeks don’t overcook, add them along the cooking process to maintain the green color.
- Onions and garlic
Although they have a pronounced taste, you can still use onions in case you don’t have shallots. Where the recipe needs more than half a cup of shallots, try cutting down on the number of onions. You don’t want a dish with a lot of onion flavor instead of the original meal.
Adding a pinch of crushed garlic or garlic powder neutralizes the oniony taste and brings out a flavor that’s closer to shallots.
Although I love using shallots, sometimes I forget to purchase them because of my busy schedule. However, the best shallot substitute for me would be the white onions.
In a recent surprising turn of events, I asked a friend to get me some white onions; instead, she dropped by with a whole bag of shallots. To me, that’s happiness because they will serve my cuisines for a long time.
How to choose and cut a shallot for cooking
When you’re shopping for shallots, choose fresh ones as they provide that mild taste in your cooking.
To know that shallots are fresh, press them between your thumb and if it’s firm, then know that’s fresh and nice.
After buying shallots, what’s the best way to cut a shallot? It all depends on whether you’re using the shallot for dressing and salads or cooking. To finely chop your shallots, use the following method.
- Remove the root end, and papery covering then throw away.
- Slice the shallot lengthwise into halves.
- Put one of the halves on a chopping board and slice lengthwise, then pause when about to reach the end. This will help keep the layers intact and make it easy when chopping across into cubes that are more beautiful. Use the tip of your knife to slice.
- To dice into cubes, with the shallot parallel to the chopping board, make a single cut from the tip to the root. Cut across the shallot using the knife.
You can find shallots throughout the year, if you want fresh ones for your cooking, buy in small amounts. When well stored, especially in cool and dark areas, you can use them for up to one month.
However, if they sprout, you can also plant them in a container or small garden if you have one. Another alternative to ensure that the shallots stay for long is chopping and freezing them.
Frozen shallots are suitable for cooking for 2 months.
What are the various types of shallots
Typically, there are three different types of shallots available in the market. They include
- The Echalion,
- The Jersey shallot,
- French gray shallot.
Each shallot derives its name depending on its method of planting or appearance.
For example, the Jersey shallots commonly grow in the US, and they have a rose or pink color. On the other hand, the echalion shallot, which some people call the banana, is a graft between the normal shallot and onions.
Finally, the French gray shallots have the name because of the outer appearance, which is almost grayish. Many gourmet cooks also use it because of its versatility.
Spotting shallots are easy because of their appearance. They have a copper-pink paper-like cover, and they’re small in size. Shallots do grow in the same manner as garlic cloves, in clusters. The bulbs of shallot are purple and white.
Thai shallot substitute
Did you know that an authentic Thai dish encompasses spicy, sweet, sour, and salty flavors? First, shallots are one of the ingredients they use to make savory meals.
If you plan on trying Thai dishes and you lack shallots. You can choose to use yellow onions because of their amazing flavor.
Although the regular onions would work, not getting the right amount may leave you with a dish full of onion taste. For a mellower flavor, cut the onions into tiny pieces and cook them until they turn golden brown.
Thai shallots also do well when added to dressings and salads; hence it is best to use a substitute that won’t leave an unwanted taste in the mouth when eaten raw.
Banana Shallot Substitute
A banana shallot is a breed between the normal shallot and onion. Although it’s larger and longer than the typical onion, it has a mild and sweet taste.
They additionally cook and peel easily than yellow or white onions. Because of the many similarities, you can always substitute a banana shallot with a regular shallot.
You can also use the green onion. However, you’ll only use the white part to get the most taste of whichever dish you intend to prepare.
Can I substitute shallots for garlic?
Although you can use garlic in the place of shallots, it’s essential to compensate for the taste. When you cook garlic, it brings out the mellow flavor, removing the pungent taste.
Onions, on the other hand, provide that delectable taste when caramelized. If you must use garlic because you don’t have shallots, try out the garlic chives, although you’ll have to add them to your dish towards the end.
However, if you get yellow onions, they work best with your meals as their acidity brings out the sweetness in food after cooking.
When to use shallots instead of onions
Most people prefer using shallots to onions because of their sweet and mild taste.
You can eat a raw shallot, and you wouldn’t need to worry about a foul smell in your mouth. Shallots also have a complex and rich flavor and bring out some form of intensity in each dish because of the garlic component.
Because of the many good reasons, instead of onions, use shallots for your salad and dressing. This is because you can finely mince these cooking agents.
Shallots also play well when incorporated mignonette and many other sauces. You wouldn’t want to use regular onions in your vinaigrette because you won’t enjoy it.
Although you can’t replace green onions with shallots, they taste better in raw meat, eggs, spaghetti sauce to noodles.
However, when you choose to use shallots instead of onions, you’ll have to use even five times more because of their small size. | <urn:uuid:46e25652-3622-4588-b7be-2896c7b98caf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kitchenvile.com/the-best-shallot-substitute/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.931004 | 1,805 | 2.03125 | 2 |
I did a take on Little Red Riding Hood. The main focus was based on the moment when Little Red observes her grandmother's new large eyes, teeth, and big ears. Placing emphasis on the horrifying set of teeth, Little Red is engulfed in her naivety. I really wanted her to come off dorky as if it didn't phase her. I imagined a Looney Tunes type of moment that proceeded with gags of the wolf being nonchalantly hurt by this innocent little girl as she helps her unsuspecting grandmother with house chores.
Doing these value and color studies, my intention was to silhouette the Wolf and bring out the viscous set of teeth. The color comps that worked for me were the blue grays and the oranges. However, the cooler schemes were too calming. I simply went with the red orange/green color scheme because I liked the intensity it created, and thought that it contrasted with the silly facial expression of Little Red.
Brainstorming ideas, I aimed for a composition that wasn't center heavy and that the Wolf and Little Red would have a clear personality showing through. The silly little girl interacting with the malicious monster. I also felt trees were easier to manipulate into a simple graphic than an interior environment. Doing so would allow the characters to stand out more from the background. I chose an option where the Wolf's facial features are emphasized as Little Red notices them in the original story. | <urn:uuid:1cc5a95d-5d5b-4c8e-84c7-3997221d01f6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://arcade28.com/red-rider | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.97345 | 289 | 1.640625 | 2 |
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Public health researchers on Tuesday called the rapid rise in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in Arkansas a “raging forest fire," and the state's top health official warned that he expects significant outbreaks in schools.
The model by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences' Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health projected a daily average of 1,039 new cases over the next week. The model also predicted an average increase of 169 new cases per day in children under the age of 17.
Arkansas leads the country in new cases per capita, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University researchers. The state also has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, with only 35% of the population fully vaccinated.
“COVID is no longer smoldering. It has broken out into a raging forest fire that will grow in size and strength," according to the UAMS forecast. “We cannot stand still. We must act to reduce the consequences of this new surge to the extent possible."
The state's cases on Tuesday increased by 1,875 to 367,007 total since the pandemic began, the Department of Health said.
Dr. Jose Romero, the state's health secretary, said he was concerned about the possibility of a “surge on top of this surge" when school begins this fall. Laws enacted this year prevent schools from mandating face masks or from requiring students and teachers to be vaccinated.
“I expect to see this year significant outbreaks within the school system," Romero said during a virtual discussion on vaccine hesitancy held by U.S. News & World Report. “What’s already telling me that’s going to happen are the number of day care closures that have occurred because of outbreaks occurring, and camp exposures and closures occurring."
Romero said the key to combatting those outbreaks will be parents stressing the importance of wearing masks.
Dr. Bechara Choucair, the White House's vaccinations coordinator, visited Arkansas on Tuesday to meet with Romero, hospital leaders and other health officials. Choucair said the medical community will play the key role in countering misinformation that has fueled vaccine hesitancy in places like Arkansas.
“To be able to counter all of this misinformation with facts, with answers to people's most commonly asked questions, the opportunity for people to talk to their doctors to make sure they have the credible, scientific information is going to be really critical to help us deal with this level of misinformation that we're seeing," he said.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson earlier this month began holding town halls around the state aimed at addressing people who have so far resisted getting vaccinated, and he planned more of the forums next week.
The state's virus hospitalizations on Tuesday increased by 28 to 815, with 313 in intensive care and 131 on ventilators. UAMS Chancellor Dr. Cam Patterson said the increases are straining hospital resources.
“Our staffing is really stretched thin at this point," Patterson said. “It's not a matter of finding beds, it's a matter of finding people to take care of patients, whether they're COVID-19 positive or not." | <urn:uuid:429e767f-4c60-4389-92cf-6cb02e8b6e5d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4253511 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.958565 | 659 | 2.109375 | 2 |

TitleAccessibility, Inclusivity and the Bottom Line
MetadataShow full item record
Embedded YouTube Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOnxk4LOaww&feature=emb_title
Rationale: Corporate culture aspires to maximize the collective productivity and synergy of its employees as a means to achieve desired financial results.
Objectives: This poster examines the influence of Critical Disability Theory on corporate values and hierarchies, and the deliberate and balancing force that mindful, sustained cultures of inclusivity and accessibility have on the ultimate success of corporations.
Methods: The methodologies reflected in this research include surveys, interviews, case studies and analysis of public financial results.
Results: There is a positive relationship between inclusivity and organizational performance. Deloitte reports organizations with inclusive cultures are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets and Gompers and Kovvali found venture capital firms with a 10% increase in female partner hires translated to a 1.5% increase in overall fund returns and 9.7% more profitable exits, where the baseline is 28.8% profitable exists for venture capital investments.
Conclusions: Active commitment to a culture of inclusivity and accessibility makes a measurable and sustained impact on both productivity and innovation. The most successful organizations have not only reexamined and adjusted their policies, but have most critically committed to ongoing, purposeful training and exercises reinforcing the tenets of inclusivity. | <urn:uuid:6a327f95-db2e-4400-9c88-46e1354c7a26> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://soar.usi.edu/handle/20.500.12419/586 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.893346 | 321 | 2.265625 | 2 |
A week after a Metro-North train derailment killed four people, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said it was making “immediate” safety improvements at “critical curves” and movable bridges. The MTA also said it had upgraded its signal network at the curving section of track north of the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx where the crash occurred on Dec. 1. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Federal Railroad Administration called for the safety improvements. U.S. safety regulators have also called for Metro-North to use two train operators during some stretches on routes. Also on Sunday, two Senators called for cameras to be installed on Metro-North Railroad trains to help prevent similar deadly accidents.

We are using GATK Mutect2 to call the somatic variants from tumor samples.
We found some of the variants had max allele frequency larger than 0.5, which made me quite confused.
Unless the sample is quite pure (100%), the theoretical allele frequency should be less than 0.5. While sometimes the frequency is 0.7.
This odds even appeared in ctDNA samples. As far as I know, most of the DNA are fragments originated from white cells, mixed with ctDNA from tumor cells. In this case, the frequency should be no more than 0.3. However, we can also find some variants with frequency larger than 0.3, which were confirmed somatic based on database (1000g, gnomAD, Clinvar, COSMIC, etc.).

A dig can start in the most casual of ways. Our partnership, for example, was hatched during a chance meeting in the summer of 2004. The encounter lasted less than a minute:
Assaf: “Hi, Eric! Good to see you again. Want to reopen the excavations at Kabri with me?”
Eric: “Hi, Assaf! Sure, sounds good to me.”
Assaf: “Okay, I’ll be in touch.”
There was, however, a bit more to the story. For several years, Assaf had been trying to raise the funds to re-excavate Kabri. The site, on the grounds of Kibbutz Kabri about 4 miles east of the Mediterranean Sea, had been excavated from 1988 to 1993 by Aharon Kempinski, a professor at Tel Aviv University, and Wolf-Dietrich Niemeier, then a professor at Heidelberg University. They uncovered a monumental Middle Bronze Age IIB Canaanite palace probably dating to the 17th century B.C.E.

It is better to specify orthodontist in the following way: it is a particular branch of dentistry that manages the identification, prevention, and correction of both jagged tooth, misaligned jaws, skewed sting designs, and other structural difficulties with the gums and teeth. It can also focus on modifying facial growth, called as dentofacial orthopedics that fix acute deformative and swollen regions of the jaw and teeth. A dental surgeon is another name for orthodontist that's often utilized from the general public. These will be the people who do utilize things like braces, dentures, partials, dental implants, tooth extractions, and equivalent clinics. Lots of orthodontists today work on their own with a workplace dedicated to these technical services and which usually means that oral promotion and advertising are all key elements of these day to day surgeries. Working closely with orthodontic affiliates in Valparaiso will be the ideal solution to guarantee you receive the providers you want and want which means it's possible to take care of your gums and teeth and shield your grin!

Reaching a point of financial security should be a top priority for aging Americans, says Senior Retirement Specialist Ana Fajardo.
When it comes time to retire, many adults face concerns about financial security. While the goal is to save up for decades in preparation, the reality is many aren’t as far along as they need to be to fully fund retirement. One study from Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research found that 36% of Americans between the ages of 65 and 69 can’t cover even one year of minimal care.
Ana Fajardo is a Senior Retirement Specialist at ValuTeachers and is focused on helping people retire with financial peace. She recently spoke about top tips for helping retirees find financial security as they retire. “I want people to be able to relax and feel comfortable in their retirement—even if the economy is in flux and things seem uncertain,” she says. “I recommend people don’t try to hide their heads in the sand but empower themselves with strategic planning. This is just a numbers game, and the sooner you prepare, the easier it is to make sure those numbers work out in your favor.”
Ana Fajardo says retirees should plan while expecting change. “It’s impossible to plan for every circumstance, but strategies will really help,” she explains. “Ultimately, though, you have to be flexible. The economy will change, the costs will change, tax laws will change, your needs will change—your retirement strategy needs to include an honest assessment of what you have and a flexible path forward that allows you to adapt as you go.”
It’s important to know spending budgets and stick to them, says Ana Fajardo. She notes that overspending on restaurants, trips and luxury items can be particularly tempting. She also says seniors must avoid being too generous and overextending themselves to help loved ones struggling with house payments, college loans, car payments or medical bills. A retirement strategy gives seniors a hard line in the sand that helps them avoid spending excessively.
She says it’s a great idea to plan on some form of work even through retirement age. “There are so many part-time jobs that offer opportunities to stay active and feel valued,” Ana Fajardo says. “Even a very small job with a simple requirement will give you something to do every day and bring in a small income stream. There are things you can startup from your home, or you may want to invest in things that will offer revenue streams down the road—like purchasing properties or businesses.”
Exercise and healthy eating will reduce unnecessary medical bills, says Fajardo. She encourages seniors to pursue healthy lifestyles that support longer independence and lower medical bills in order to reduce retirement costs.
She recommends seeking out a reliable retirement planner. “There are so many ploys out there,” she says. “Scam artists are after everyone, and it’s really sad how many people lose money they can’t afford to lose. Ask for professional advice if you get a new offer or someone says you need to pay them. Always get a second opinion, because these scammers know how to sound legit.” | <urn:uuid:7799aabf-34ad-4c80-9b3d-73701a32055f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://headlinesnewz.com/ana-fajardo-gives-5-tips-for-achieving-financial-security-in-retirement/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.966181 | 674 | 2.0625 | 2 |
The History: Originally Decoration Day, now Memorial Day
TINA L. SCOTT
According to History.com, Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day which began on May 5, 1868, when General John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Union veterans’ group known as the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance later that month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed. It was a nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the recently ended Civil War. It is said the confederate women of the south, who decorated the graves of their fallen soldiers, may have inspired the idea.
Other Northern states embraced the idea and by 1890, Decoration Day was an official state holiday observed annually on May 30 in northern states, while Southern states honored the dead on separate days. Until after World War I, that is. Then the day expanded to commemorating the lives of those American military personnel who had died in any war. Subsequently, personnel who died in World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now also honored on Memorial Day.
In 1968, U.S. Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, establishing Memorial Day as the last Monday in May, effective in 1971, and declaring it a federal holiday. It is just happenstance that this year, in 2022, Memorial Day actually falls on May 30.
There were many who objected to the change, as one of the reasons for its creation was to make a three-day weekend for federal employees, and those objectors worried that the holiday would become more about a three-day weekend and the beginning of summer than about honoring the courageous men and women who had died serving their country in war. Some veterans groups continue to lobby for a return to the May 30 observance. It is true there are many Americans who do not know or understand the true meaning for the observance of Memorial Day.
Formal rituals performed on Memorial Day include hanging the flag at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day when it is then raised to the top of the flag pole. In 2000, the U.S. Congress passed legislation encouraging all Americans to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 p.m. local time.
Many communities across the U.S. host Memorial Day parades, including military organizations, personnel, and veterans, with Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C. holding the largest national parades.
Many Americans visit cemeteries and memorials to place flowers on graves or wear a red poppy to remember fallen soldiers. The tradition of the poppy began in World War I.
In Merrill and surrounding communities, local veterans organizations traditionally hold ceremonies in cemeteries honoring the fallen. Merrill’s VFW Post 1638 hosted their annual ceremony locally.

Business partnerships are rapidly growing in strategic importance.
It is no secret that progressive companies are pursuing innovations and greater speed-to-market to achieve competitive advantage and growth. In order to succeed in a timely way more organisations are leveraging strategic partnerships than ever before, with BCG reporting the number of new partnerships formed in 2020 was 8 times that in 2011. Additionally, digital ecosystem partnerships are also bringing greater complexity with 70% of CEOs saying ‘new partnerships will be critical to continuing their pace of digital transformation’ according to KPMG*.
On paper, Boards and Management believe most new partnerships entered into are an ideal strategic match. Each organisation brings complimentary resources to drive innovation that is faster, lower risk and lower cost than alternatives – so what could possibly go wrong?
According to David Winspear from Partnering Excellence “Strategic partnerships can be complex when it comes to the blending of cultures, objectives, business processes, decision making and more. Add in personalities, emotions, and significant change and what was once seen as an ideal marriage can quickly end in divorce – the secret according to Winspear is all in the selection, set-up, management and measurement”
Yet over 60% of strategic partnerships fail^.
An example of a company that has avoided the common pitfalls, is Eli Lilly, a global pharmaceutical company, who identified strategic partnerships as a core element of their growth strategy many years ago.
Eli Lilly’s Board, realised the need to invest in partnering capability to achieve their growth objectives. After an in-depth analysis, a dedicated Partnership structure was created to develop partnership frameworks, tools and measures among others. One critical element was a tailored measure that tracked Partnership Health on factors proven to drive successful partnerships – Voice of the Alliance. This continues to be delivered regularly across their portfolio to identify any early warning signs in key partnerships and is a cornerstone of their program.
However, most can be successful with measurement, insight and focus.
Eli Lilly is recognised as a top performer in the pharmaceutical industry by leveraging strategic partnership frameworks to achieve the objectives of their business and partners.
Without this measurement, insight and focus, Eli Lilly may not have been able to deliver successful partnerships and achieve their growth objectives.
Organisations and Boards have been measuring employee and customer engagement using tailored measures for decades, but this typically excludes partners – which have been identified as one of the most important factors in achieving strategic plans. In practice, many organisations rely on subjective assessments, lagging indicators or NPS which do not provide effective insights into partner health.
Partnership health measures are invaluable lead indicators.
More Boards are now seeking to measure partnership health as a lead indicator of their business future with independent parties increasingly being called upon to offer an objective view of partnership health across a range of partnership success factors.
Aside from helping organisations to maximise the value of their partnerships, boards are viewing partnership health scores as a risk mitigation strategy – ensuring no surprises at a shock loss of a partner at contract renewal time.
Regular measurement can objectively identify early warning signs of partnership retention risk, benchmark partnering capabilities to identify areas of opportunity and build investor, board, and management confidence, especially with companies with a heavy reliance on partnerships.
- Companies are seeking to obtain competitive advantage through developing their partnering capability
- As organisations increase their reliance on partnering their business risks also increase.
- Strategic partnerships have high failure rates.
- Objective measurement and insight is becoming a focus for progressive organisations – in similar ways to other organisational metrics that measure employee and customer engagement
- Partnership health measures builds investor, board, and management confidence.
How important are strategic partnerships in your business? How do you manage partnering risk? How do you measure partnership health for risk mitigation and improved partnering capability?

Researcher Ermanno Pietrosemoli has set what appears to be a new record for the longest communication link with Wi-Fi.
Pietrosemoli, president of the Escuela Latinoamerica de Redes (which means networking school of Latin America) established a Wi-Fi link between two computers located in El Aguila and Platillon Mountain, Venezuela. That's a distance of 382 kilometers, or 238 miles. He used technology from Intel, which is concocting its own long-range Wi-Fi equipment, and some off-the-shelf parts. Pietrosemoli gets about 3 megabits per second in each direction on his long-range connections.
Most Wi-Fi signals only go only a few meters before petering out. Conventional Wi-Fi transmitters, however, send signals in all directions. By directing the signal to a specific point, range can be increased.
Honing the signal, however, means that the receiver and transmitter have to be aligned. Trees, buildings and other objects that get between them can sever the link. The curvature of Earth, misalignment between the transmitter and receiver, as well as shaking and any sort of movement at the transmitting or receiving end can also impair the signal. (To ameliorate some of these factors, Intel has created a way to electrically steer the signal, which in turn increases bandwidth.)
Geography was on Pietrosemoli's side. El Aguila and Platillon Mountain sit in the Andes, which form fairly jagged peaks in this part of the range.
The old record was 310 kilometers. Swedish scientists made a link between a balloon and an Earth-bound station. We say "apparently" on Pietrosemoli's record, in case someone out there has set a better record about which we are unaware.
More details can be found in an article at the Web site for The Association for Progressive Communcations. (Inveneo, which is trying to bring PCs to emerging markets, told us about Pietrosemoli's achievement.)
Intel, along with organizations like Inveneo, are testing the feasibility of long-range Wi-Fi as a communication link in Uganda and other emerging nations. Long-range Wi-Fi isn't as robust at WiMax, but the towers cost a lot less. Some hobbyists have accomplished a long-range Wi-Fi connection with low bandwidth.
Similar experiments are being carried out in the United States as well. A long-range Wi-Fi link connects Intel Research's Berkeley Lab and a Sun Microsystems lab on the San Francisco Peninsula, more than 20 miles away. | <urn:uuid:76f7574c-da66-4ae0-9c85-e252f19c6bc6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cnet.com/culture/new-wi-fi-distance-record-382-kilometers/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.957994 | 547 | 2.90625 | 3 |
The slug has an impressive physiology, engages in acrobatic sex and is a handy scavenger of waste – TV naturalist Chris Packham is right to stick up for them
Slugs are much maligned. Having the temerity to wear their slime on the outside of their bodies, they are about as far removed from our notion of cute and cuddly as is possible without being tapeworms. But they are misunderstood and persecuted beyond necessity – with ecological knock-on effects for the slow-worms, thrushes, hedgehogs, badgers and other animals further up the food chain. True, some slugs will eat your plants, but naturalist Chris Packham recently made a plea for greater tolerance for the mollusc: with that in mind, here are five reasons to admire slugs:
1. Most slugs are scavengers, but that can be handy. They eat that catch-all substrate, “decaying organic matter”, which includes dead and rotting plants; leaf litter; fungoid wood; fallen fruit; animal droppings; carrion; deliquescent toadstools; and mouldering compost. If they sometimes nibble idly at a leaf, it is probably because the leaf is already damaged or diseased. | <urn:uuid:8a9f5e8f-1efa-4372-a65f-7303269dc94f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://one-dollar-hosting.com/2017/07/misunderstood-molluscs-five-reasons-to-love-slugs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.961887 | 260 | 3.078125 | 3 |
USDA stands up new team to better serve beginning farmers, ranchers in South Dakota
HURON, S.D. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is standing up a new team that will lead a department-wide effort focused on serving beginning farmers and ranchers.
To institutionalize support for beginning farmers and ranchers and to build upon prior agency work, the 2018 Farm Bill directed USDA to create a national coordinator position in the agency and state-level coordinators for four of its agencies — Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and Rural Development.
Gail Gullickson was selected as the USDA Beginning Farmer Rancher state coordinator in South Dakota. Over the past 27 years, Gullickson has assisted South Dakota Farm Service Agency farmers and ranchers as a farm loan officer and state outreach coordinator. She and her family have a small crop and livestock operation near Flandreau, S.D.
Others on the team coordinating South Dakota’s beginning farmers and rancher efforts include:
John Lockie, risk management specialist with the Risk Management Agency.
Jessica Michalski, state resource conservationist with Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Roxanne Woodring, Rural Development Specialist with Rural Development.
This is a collateral duty for all team members.
Each state coordinator will receive training and develop tailored beginning farmer outreach plans for their state. Coordinators will help field employees better reach and serve beginning farmers and ranchers and will also be available to assist beginning farmers who need help navigating the variety of resources USDA has to offer.
More on beginning farmers
Twenty-seven percent of farmers were categorized as new and beginning producers, with 10 years or less of experience in agriculture, according to the 2017 Census of Agriculture.
The USDA offers a variety of farm loan, risk management, disaster assistance, and conservation programs to support farmers, including beginning farmers and ranchers. Additionally, a number of these programs have provisions specifically for beginning farmers, including targeted funding for loans and conservation programs as well as waivers and exemptions.
Learn more about USDA’s resources for beginning farmers as well as more information on the national and state-level coordinators at farmers.gov/newfarmers.

Are you familiar with the story of Achilles? He’s one of the greatest warriors in Greek Mythology. He was essentially unbeatable, except for his one vulnerability – his heel (or rather, his tendon). If you’ve ever experienced this injury, you know how it can literally stop you in your tracks. It’s common in runners, and is especially aggravated by sprinting and uphill running.
Don’t let this injury hold you back! There are a few essential stretching and strengthening exercises that can help you rehab your Achilles tendon and get back to your workouts pain-free.
What Is Achilles Tendinitis?
The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It allows us to extend our ankle (plantar flexion) and push off. Achilles tendinopathy, or more generally known as Achilles tendinitis, occurs when the tendon fails to heal fully. At first, this may start as short-term tendinitis where the pain is mostly due to inflammation. However, if the pain and inflammation continues, tendinitis becomes a tendinosis, and neovascularization (growth of new blood vessels) occurs.
It is thought that much of the pain associated with Achilles tendinitis comes from the neural pathways associated with these new vessels. What this means is that, once you are dealing with tendinosis, you must be very careful about how you continue to exercise, as the problem then becomes a long-term condition. The collagen matrix in the tendon becomes more disrupted, and it can take weeks to months for the tendon to repair itself. Until it does, expect increased pain with exercise.
What Are The Common Causes?
There are four causes primarily associated with Achilles tendinitis. To prevent developing this injury, follow the tips included here.
1. Sudden Increase In Activity
Your body becomes accustomed to a specific amount of activity. If you suddenly and rapidly increase your activity level, your tendon may not be able to handle the excessive stress and will break down.
Tip: Always ramp up activity slowly to allow the tendon to acclimate.
The human body is always trying to heal itself, but when the rate of damage from overuse outweighs your ability to heal, your tendon will start to breakdown. This eventually leads to the long-term changes in your tendon associated with tendinosis.
Tip: Make sure to take enough rest between workouts, so your body has enough time to heal fully. Also, cross-train so that you strengthen your body in multiple ways.
3. Flat Feet & Poor Foot Mechanics
When you lose the arch in your foot, the biomechanical efficiency of your foot significantly drops. The action of “pushing off” with a stable midfoot that has a solid arch compared to a flat foot is like comparing lifting weights to lifting a floppy, old mattress. The old mattress might be the same weight, but it’s much harder to control as you lift.
Tip: If you have flat feet, consider using orthotics. If you have poor foot mechanics, incorporate some foot strengthening exercises and stretches to fix your mechanics.
4. Tight Ankles
Stiff ankles can also lead to poor foot mechanics. When the ankle joint is tight, it will cause increased stress to the rest of the foot, which may alter the alignment of your foot.
Tip: Include stretching exercises like the calf and soleus stretch to maintain proper ankle range of motion. You can also consider strength training in minimal shoes, or barefoot to encourage proper foot flexibility and mechanics.
What Are The Symptoms?
How do you know if you have Achilles tendinitis? Here’s what to look out for:
1. Pain or inflammation in the Achilles tendon, especially the day after exercise.
2. Pain in the Achilles tendon or the back of your heel when you stretch your ankle.
3. Pain in the Achilles tendon with walking or running.
4. Thickening of the tendon (a sign of prolonged tendinopathy).
Note: Pain in the middle of the tendon is more common. Some people have pain at the bottom of the Achilles where it inserts into the heel bone (known as insertional Achilles tendinitis). These symptoms often take longer and can be more difficult to treat.
Top Exercises To Fix Achilles Tendinitis
If you’ve determined that you have Achilles tendinitis, you might be wondering how to rehabilitate it. Follow these steps to manage and fix the inflammation and pain in your Achilles.
Rules Of Fixing Achilles Tendinitis
- Before exercising, minimize the pain! It is ok to exercise with pain, but the pain should not increase to the point where it’s unbearable.
- You should be able to walk normally without a limp.
- The next morning, the pain should not be worse than the previous morning.
- If you cannot walk without a limp, it is advisable to either rest, or use a heel lift, which helps to decrease the tensile load on the tendon.
- As the acute inflammation decreases, try to wean off the heel lift.
If you can follow those rules, try these 5 exercises:
1. Calf & Soleus Stretch
This is the first and easiest step. Loosen the gastrocnemius and soleus with these stretches. Make sure to drive your heel down as you bring the rest of your leg forward. By bending the knee, you can focus on stretching the ankle and soleus more.
Maintain the alignment of your foot with doming, and potentially orthotics. The doming exercise (also known as short foot) teaches you how to maintain your arch using your foot muscles. If you are unable to do this, then supplement this with arch support. You should be able to maintain this position whenever you stand.
3. 3 Position Single-Leg Balance
Challenge your balance (with proper foot mechanics) to help strengthen your foot muscles. Start with simply standing tall and balancing on one foot. Once you can do 10 seconds consistently, also try these two other positions: single leg squat and single leg hip hinge (pics). And then once you can do 3 of those consistently, grab a weight and perform halos while maintaining your balance.
4. Eccentrics & Time Under Tension
These are the most important exercises for rehabbing Achilles tendinopathy. When there is pain in the Achilles, most people are told to rest. This is good advice at first, however the calf muscles AND the tendon will also begin to atrophy. To avoid this, practice isometric and eccentric exercises.
Introduce isometric exercises first, where you load the tendon without movement. Just stand on one leg, and lean forward so that the weight is on the ball of your foot (heel should still be touching the floor). Hold this for 10 seconds at a time. Repeat for sets of 10. You should feel your calf working as you lean forward. This is a very physiologically safe exercise as there is no movement to the tendon. Ideally, you would perform this throughout the day for multiple sets of 10.
This exercise is generally considered the gold standard for tendon rehab. After you are comfortable with isometrics, transition to eccentrics, which add in motion mostly in only one direction.
Also known as negatives, you will rise onto the ball of your feet using the strength of both legs. Then, put all of your weight on your injured side, and SLOWLY lower yourself. Take at least 4 seconds to get back to the start position. You can even do this on a step and allow your heel to go lower than your forefoot (unless you have insertional pain at the heel bone). Once you hit bottom, use both legs to press back up, and then repeat.
Parameters: As this is your main exercise, perform as many sets as you can.
As your strength increases and you can do 3 sets of 15 without too much fatigue, you can wear a backpack with weights (or hold dumbbells). However, if this causes too much soreness the next day, decrease the weight.
5. Foam Roll
Lastly, help the calf muscle relax by spending a few minutes rolling it out with a foam roller. Try to get both the medial and lateral sides of your calf, and be patient – the more weight you apply to the calf, the slower you should roll.
The hardest part about exercising with Achilles tendinopathy is trying to find the right balance of exercise without flaring up the tendon, and rest.
Remember the basic rule: you should stop BEFORE the pain makes you stop, and your symptoms the next day should never be worse than the previous day. If you are able to do this while exercising to increase the strength and flexibility of your leg, then your tendon should slowly be able to recover and regenerate.
Try out these exercises, and be patient!

1. Don’t rinse your mouth after brushing
All the goodness in the toothpaste is just washed away! Once you have finished brushing,
just spit the paste and rinse your brush, leave a coating of paste on your teeth and it will
protect them for longer. The taste of the toothpaste will quickly fade away.
2. All fizzy drinks can damage your teeth
It’s not just sweet fizzy drinks that damage teeth, even fizzy water can! Fizz softens a tooth’s
enamel and can cause acid erosion. If you are going to drink something fizzy then do it through
a straw as this will reduce the amount of time that the acid is in contact with your teeth.
3. Fruit juice and smoothies are not as healthy as you think
When it comes to sugar your teeth don’t care whether it’s natural or processed, it’s sweet all
the same. Avoid fruit juice as its’ very acidic and full of sugar. Smoothies are packed with
sugar that is released when the fruit is pulped. Therefore it is much better to eat the whole fruit instead,
that way you get the benefit of the fibre and reduce the sugar intake.
4. Chocolate is better for your teeth than raisins
Raisins are packed with sugar and are very sticky too; so they get stuck in your teeth longer
when you eat them. Chocolate dissolves quicker in the mouth and tends not to stick in the
teeth. It is better to eat the sweet stuff all in one go rather graze over a period as this will
cause less damage.
5. Night time brushing is the most important
When we sleep our saliva production drops. Saliva is very important in protecting our teeth
so if there is any food left in our mouths over night this will cause more damage. So remember,
do not forget the night time brushing however tired you are.

A lot of the time we buy skin products based on the smell, price, packaging or just because it is a certain brand. I know I have been guilty of doing this several times in the past and I'm sure many of you can relate. Sometimes we don't even realise we are doing this until we are cautioned by a reaction on our skin or a health problem either we or someone close to us experiences.
How many of you actually read the ingredients?
Since having cancer it has made me more mindful of the things I put in and on my body. When it comes to the skin we all have different needs as our skin types vary and it's important for us to learn what our skin type is, in order for our needs to be catered to.
Average skin- A balance of moisture, just the right amount of sebum production
Dry skin- Not enough moisture, low sebum production
Oily skin- Too much moisture, high sebum production
Combination skin- A mixture between oily and dry spots
Sensitive skin- Can be any of the above but it has a reaction to certain ingredients
I now want to introduce you to Shawntai Lister-Mitchell the founder of Class and Elegance Bath and Body Care. She has partnered with mentor academies that teach young girls the importance of education, self-esteem, etiquette, entrepreneurial and life-skill development in order to build our young ladies of today into confident, empowered women of tomorrow. The young ladies also learn how to make natural bath and body care products to enhance their overall well-being.
Do you know what the largest external organ on your body is?
If you said, "skin", you answered correctly.
What is the purpose of our skin? One word sums it up, "Protection".
The purpose of our skin is to protect us from germs and various elements from entering our internal organs. When it's cold outside, it helps keep us warm and when it's warm outside, it keeps us from burning up.
Since skin is our largest external organ, it is vital that we use products that benefit us externally
from the outside in.
A survey of over 2,000 women found on average, women use twelve products containing 168 unique ingredients daily and men use six products with 85 unique ingredients. These various ingredients penetrate through the largest external organ and enter our internal organs and blood stream. This affects the overall health and well-being of our bodies.
As a child, I had a love of creation. I loved mixing various perfumes, lotions, and other products and as I grew older, I developed a love for natural bath and body care. My passion for this increased, when I custom made an oatmeal bath for a younger family member during an overnight stay. This family member suffered from eczema and had complaints of itching and bleeding on their skin. Eczema causes inflammation itching and a red scaly like rash on the skin.
It was at that time, that I realised my love for creating natural products, served a greater
As the owner, founder and formulator of a natural beauty brand, I hand-craft products using a combination of natural, organic and locally sourced ingredients. The products are infused with a proprietary blend of aromatherapy and herbal remedies that impact the lives of others by providing solutions for bath, body and skin care needs.
Some of the ingredients used are carrier oils, such as coconut and tamanu oil. Coconut oil is antibacterial, moisturising and has several uses. I've seen articles that document from 50 to 200 uses for coconut oil. Tamanu oil is known for its ability to assist with scarring, eczema and skin rashes.
I also use aromatherapy blends with essential oils. Essential oils are plant based and come from the flower, leaf, bark, and stems of the plant. They can also come from the rind of the fruit, such as lime, lemon, and orange. Citrus oils are some of my favourites because I love the fresh smell and the antiseptic, antibacterial and disinfectant properties.
Essential oils are so powerful, they are diluted by drops. They possess the ability to penetrate
through the skin cells and to the blood stream to provide some of the listed benefits. Some
essential oils are said to cross blood into the brain barrier.
emotional, mental and physical
assists with pain
helps to detox
One of my favourite essential oils is frankincense. Frankincense essential oil is noted to build immunity, reduce inflammation, assist with age spots, support brain function and is said to help fight cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
I love frankincense essential oil so much that I have an entire line dedicated to it. I am a firm
believer that in a time where so many chemicals are affecting our health, we must take control of our health and implement the simple things we know can help us on our wellness journey. Here's a list of some of the things I like to do:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day. Sometimes, I do 15 minutes, twice a day.
3. Eat fruits and vegetables.
4. Take time to meditate, pray, recite words of affirmation. Whatever suits you best.
5. Take a relaxing bath. Light a few candles, turn on your favourite relaxing music.
6. Read a book.
7. Take a walk in the park or by the lake.
8. Host a brunch for friends.
9. Disconnect from the news and media outlets for a few days.
10. Try making healthy recipes with your family.
11. Watch a comedy.
Remember, the best gift you can give is yourself. Please be kind and loving to your beautiful and amazing self. You are a gift to the world.

There are many benefits to both AVG and Avast anti virus program, and there are a number of important variances between the two. AVG contains a more user-friendly interface and better security features. The totally free version of Avast recieve more features than its paid out counterpart. In addition , Avast possesses a larger consumer bottom with above 400 , 000, 000 active installs, a large gain. However , the high cost is a little higher.
The main differences between AVG and Avast anti-virus services are in their pricing structure. AVG is certainly far cheaper, and the licensing will not limit the quantity of devices you are able to protect. Both are highly custom, and AVG is simpler to install and use than Avast. The primary drawback to equally is the upsell strategy, which can be often a problem designed for consumers. Ultimately, though, the primary difference involving the two can be protection.
Avast and AVG are very very similar in their cadre. Although they have the same owners, both equally newsoftwareideas.com show the same viruses detection directories. Therefore , Avast and AVG are immediately competing in all price brackets. Both offer free variations with standard protection while AVG includes a more powerful paid version. The free type is also a lot more accessible than the paid version. AVG has a better choice of features and is normally more user-friendly. | <urn:uuid:283384c1-6f9e-4f00-b32f-43a19f888516> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://carsaller.com/uncategorized/avg-vs-avast-what-the-difference/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.962477 | 280 | 1.632813 | 2 |

Electronic Evidence and Electronic Signatures by Stephen Mason and Daniel Seng is not the sort of book that I would normally glance at twice (based on its title). However, at this start of the year I had an interesting email conversation with the first author, who worked for the defence team on the Horizon IT project case, and he emailed with the news that the fifth edition was now available (there’s a free pdf version, so why not have a look; sorry Stephen).
Regular readers of this blog will be interested in chapter 4 (“Software code as the witness”) and chapter 5 (“The presumption that computers are ‘reliable'”).
Legal arguments are based on precedent, i.e., decisions made by judges in earlier cases. The one thing that stands from these two chapters is how few cases have involved source code and/or reliability, and how simplistic the software issues have been (compared to issues that could have been involved). Perhaps the cases involving complicated software issues get simplified by the lawyers, or they look like they will be so difficult/expensive to litigate that the case don’t make it to court.
Chapter 4 provided various definitions of source code, all based around the concept of imperative programming, i.e., the code tells the computer what to do. No mention of declarative programming, where the code specifies the information required and the computer has to figure out how to obtain it (SQL being a widely used language based on this approach). The current Wikipedia article on source code is based on imperative programming, but the programming language article is not so narrowly focused (thanks to some work by several editors many years ago
There is an interesting discussion around the idea of source code as hearsay, with a discussion of cases (see 4.34) where the person who wrote the code had to give evidence so that the program output could be admitted as evidence. I don’t know how often the person who wrote the code has to give evidence, but these days code often has multiple authors, and their identity is not always known (e.g., author details have been lost, or the submission effectively came via an anonymous email).
Chapter 5 considers the common law presumption in the law of England and Wales that ‘In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the courts will presume that mechanical instruments were in order. Yikes! The fact that this is presumption is nonsense, at least for computers, was discussed in an earlier post.
There is plenty of case law discussion around the accuracy of devices used to breath-test motorists for their alcohol level, and defendants being refused access to the devices and associated software. Now, I’m sure that the software contained in these devices contains coding mistakes, but was a particular positive the result of a coding mistake? Without replicating the exact conditions occurring during the original test, it could be very difficult to say. The prosecution and Judges make the common mistake of assuming that because the science behind the test had been validated, the device must produce correct results; ignoring the fact that the implementation of the science in software may contain implementation mistakes. I have lost count of the number of times that scientist/programmers have told me that because the science behind their code is correct, the program output must be correct. My retort that there are typos in the scientific papers they write, therefore there may be typos in their code, usually fails to change their mind; they are so fixated on the correctness of the science that possible mistakes elsewhere are brushed aside.
The naivety of some judges is astonishing. In one case (see 5.44) a professor who was an expert in mathematics, physics and computers, who had read the user manual for an application, but had not seen its source code, was considered qualified to give evidence about the operation of the software!
Much of chapter 5 is essentially an overview of software reliability, written by a barrister for legal professionals, i.e., it is not always a discussion of case law. A barristers’ explanation of how software works can be entertainingly inaccurate, but the material here is correct in a broad brush sense (and I did not spot any entertainingly inaccuracies).
Other than breath-testing, the defence asking for source code is rather like a dog chasing a car. The software for breath-testing devices is likely to be small enough that one person might do a decent job of figuring out how it works; many software systems are not only much, much larger, but are dependent on an ecosystem of hardware/software to run. Figuring out how they work will take multiple (expensive expert) people a lot of time.
Legal precedents are set when both sides spend the money needed to see a court case through to the end. It’s understandable why the case law discussed in this book is so sparse and deals with relatively simple software issues. The costs of fighting a case involving the complexity of modern software is going to be astronomical. | <urn:uuid:05bd76e7-d2f5-4c04-a8bf-4a9f182d25d7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.artificialworlds.net/planetcode/category/precedent/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.970239 | 1,023 | 2 | 2 |

Run history. Run beauty. For the Oregon Trail Run of Nebraska, we have combined a run on the route of the Oregon Trail, California Trail and Pony Express route with one of the most picturesque roads in Southern Nebraska. The first half of the Marathon will travel parallel to and intersect with the route that settlers took as they crossed Nebraska on their way to points west. The first half of the route is mostly flat and offers a view that stretches for miles. You can imagine the trail of “prairie schooners” keeping to the hilltops as they headed west together.
The second half of the route drops down into the Little Blue River valley, the gravel road that follows the river takes you on gently rolling hills through the cottonwood, oak, locust and ash canopies, by beautiful and fading farmsteads and limestone cliffs. The trees should be in their peak fall color on race day and the surrounding landscape and abundant wildlife offer up photo opportunities around every bend.
The half marathon (and relay) begins at the halfway point of the marathon, roughly where Hwy 53 and Thayer County’s River Road meet. When the first marathon runners cross the halfway point, the half marathon will begin and follow River Road back to Hebron for the finish.
Timing will be provided by Black Squirrel Timing.

Company Formation in Dubai - An Overview
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation made up of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah,
Ajman, Fujairah, umm al-Quwain, and Ras al Khaimah that was created in December
Dubai is one of the major cities in the Middle East, with several prospects for
foreign investors to establish various types of businesses. This city has increased
its opportunities to guarantee that it continues to grow. Aside from that, the
Middle East is one of the world's top oil exporters. There is no tax imposed on
people and individuals in Dubai, either directly or indirectly. As a result of all
of these possibilities, more people are interested in going through the business
There is a dedicated space in Dubai where different types of registration operations
linked to compliance may be carried out. The Dubai International Financial Centre is
the name given to this location (DIFC). Different types of financial hubs exist not
just in Dubai, but across the Middle East, allowing for the convenience of carrying
out various businesses in Dubai.
When it comes to foreign ownership of a corporation in the DIFC, there are no
restrictions. As a result, the directors and shareholders of a Dubai-registered
company might own the whole firm.
Indirect taxes, such as VAT, are present in Dubai when it comes to taxation. This is
a 5% value added tax on all goods and services delivered in Dubai. Employees working
in Dubai are not subject to any sort of individual income tax. As a result, all of
these benefits would be a compelling reason for an investor to register a company in
Dubai Regulatory Authority for Company Registration
The Registrar of Companies is Dubai's primary regulatory body for business creation.
This registrar would serve as a centralised authority for completing various types
of company compliance and registration. In most cases, a business registration
application in Dubai is submitted to the Registrar of Companies.
Areas Concerning Dubai Company Registration
In Dubai, you have the option of registering your business in one of the following
DIFC is a viable option for a company formation for an investor. There are several
advantages to choosing this location, which include more than simply the simplicity
of forming a business or complying with regulations. When it comes to foreign
ownership of a corporation in the DIFC, there are no restrictions. As a result, the
directors and shareholders of a Dubai-based corporation might be entirely
Outside of the DIFC
This is the territory or jurisdiction that is not part of the DIFC. Outside of the
DIFC, a corporation can be formed. According to the Federal Commercial Companies Law
No. 2 of 2015 (Companies Law), companies that are not subject to the DIFC's
jurisdiction must adhere to the foreign investment rules.
The citizenship factor would be used to categorise the ownership component of the
organisation. The UAE national must own 51% of the company. Any entity owned by a
UAE national would be included in this category. In 2018, these prohibitions on
foreign investment were lifted in a number of areas.
The Advantages of a Dubai Company Registration
The following are the advantages of forming a corporation in Dubai:
Provided Regulatory Environment
Dubai's courts adhere to the common law system. However, precedents from court cases
are handled in Dubai by attorneys with US and UK legal degrees. Dubai has a
one-of-a-kind regulatory system.
Foreign ownership is permitted in its entirety.
A corporation incorporated in the Dubai DIFC is permitted to have 100 percent foreign
ownership. As a result, a foreign investor or shareholder might possess 100 percent
of the firm.
When compared to other types of jurisdictions, Dubai has lower compliance.
Reduced Tax Burden
When compared to indirect tax, the amount of direct tax collected on a person would
be smaller. In Dubai, indirect taxes such as VAT exist. This would be regarded a
value added tax, which is levied at a rate of 5% on the quantity of products and
services offered in Dubai. Employees working in Dubai are not subject to any sort of
individual income tax.
Types of Business Structures Used in Dubai
For business registration in Dubai, the following structures would be used.
A corporation whose capital is restricted by shares
This type of corporation is sometimes referred to as a private limited company, and
it is restricted by a set number of shares.
Limited Liability Corporation (LLC)
These corporations' liability is often restricted to the number of shares issued.
Typically, this type of organisation is founded outside of Dubai. However, an office
has been established in Dubai to continue out activities.
Limited Liability Partnership
The limited liability partnership, sometimes known as an LLP, is a partnership entity
governed by many partners. The partners' liabilities are restricted.
Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (FLLP)
This sort of partnership business is often a foreign-owned firm managed by
shareholders who are primarily foreign residents.
Eligibility Criteria for Dubai Company Registration
For business registration in Dubai, the following qualifying conditions must be
Requirement for Licensing
A firm is created with the primary goal of carrying out some activity. For a
corporation registered in Dubai, there are three types of licences available. The
following are the licences:
- Commercial licences that cover all types of trade activities.
- Professions, services, craftspeople, and artisans are all covered by
- Industrial licences are required for the establishment of an industrial or
Execution of Free Zone Business
In most cases, a local sponsor is necessary for business registration in Dubai.
Finding a local sponsor is a crucial need for a person. As the local sponsor must be
a UAE national with more than 51% ownership of the firm. Typically, a person would
engage into some sort of profit-sharing arrangement with the local profits and agree
on a sharing ratio that the parties would choose.
Choose the Form of Business Structure
When applying for company registration in Dubai, the applicant must choose the kind
of business structure that will be used. There are several benefits and drawbacks to
selecting the kind of business structure.

set of documentation. For business registration in Dubai, the following papers would
- Application form of the Business
- Bank Reference Letter for Each Shareholder
- Business Plan
- MOA and AOA which is duly notarised by the authority
- NOC from the Sponsor
- Passport of the Sponsor to prove that he/she is a UAE National

HERNIATED DISCS AND BULGING DISCS
Are you experiencing pain that radiates from your back to your feet or hands?
Is numbness or tingling in your legs and hands happening on a regular basis?
Do these pains only affect one side of your body?
If any of these questions resonate with you then you may have a herniated disc or bulging disc. Cushion-like discs, which are composed of a tough outer layer and soft inner layer of cartilage, protect our spinal vertebrae. The discs fit perfectly between the spaces in the vertebrae. A herniated means that the exterior layer of the disc is cracked and has caused the interior cartilage to protrude from the disc. Herniated discs are also known as ruptured or slipped discs.
Similarly to herniated discs, bulging discs move out of their intended area. The bulging is caused by the exterior cartilage and has more affect on the entire disc. Bulging is a typical bodily reaction to aging and are a common condition. Unlike herniated discs, bugling discs rarely cause much pain.
When a herniated or bulging disc occurs, the disc’s nucleus releases a chemical. This chemical can cause nerve irritation and swelling, which is the primary reason that herniated or bulging discs can be painful. Other reasons for pain include nerve root or spinal cord pressure, as well as broken pieces of the disc’s exterior floating in the spinal canal.
Herniated and/or Bulging Disc Symptoms
There are a number of typical symptoms for herniated and bulging discs, such as pain, “pins and needles”, muscle spasms, numbness, weakness and deep muscle aches. The severity of the symptoms depends on the positioning of the herniated/bulging disc. A herniated disc in the neck is typically felt in the shoulders, chest and arms, whilst one in the lower back can be felt in the ankle, foot, leg and buttock.
Herniated and/or Bulging Disc Causes
The primary causes of herniated or bulging discs include spinal injury, disc degeneration/disease and aging. Aging is a common cause of disc degeneration and disease, since the disc’s exterior becomes more susceptible to tears and cracks. Most cases of herniated discs are found in people over the age of 35. Individuals with careers that require long periods of driving or intense manual labor are more prone to developing spinal injury, which can lead to herniated or bulging discs.
Herniated and/or Bulging Disc Treatment
Herniated or bulging discs are treated in order to reduce symptoms and likelihood of reoccurrence. There are various forms of treatments available, such as physical therapy, spinal decompression, medication, chiropractic, lifestyle adjustments, injections and surgery. Spinal decompression is one of the best non-invasive and safe treatments for herniated or bulging discs. Physical therapy treatments are also designed to educate patients on various exercises they can perform in order to reduce pain and alleviate the symptoms. Chiropractic treatment is also ideal for alleviating back pain and other symptoms through spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercises and manual therapy. | <urn:uuid:e6f2a5a5-4afd-4863-9d6b-375037f70f82> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pinnaclechiropractic.net/conditions/herniated-bulging-discs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.943226 | 677 | 3.140625 | 3 |

The positive effect of VIT on other allergies
Isa Grezda, Kosovo
: J Clin Immunol Res
Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) is an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated hypersensitivity, which includes the anaphylacticshock. Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is the etiologic treatment of the HVA with 75-98% efficacy.
Objective: To study the role of VIT on the other IgEmediated sensitizations on HVA patients.
Material and methods: Three patients, one female 12 ,one boy 15 and one male 28 years old, resulted hymenoptera venom, pollens ad mites respectively due to intradermoreaction and prick test, and confirmed by specific IgE detection. They were subcutaneously treated with VIT because of their HVA, beginning with solution 1mcg/ml, than 10 and 100mcg/ml (Apis mellifera, L-tyrosine solution, ANNALLERGO). The maintenance dose of 100mcg was reached in 15 weeks in a cluster schedule, and the treatment continued every 4 weeks along 5 years or more. Generally, our patients have supported very well the VIT.
Results/discussion: The annual patients’ analysis of the specific IgE revealed a continuous level reduction not only for the bee venom but also for other allergens (pollens and mites) along 3 consecutive years of VIT.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that VIT may have a significant role on the improvement of other IgEmediated allergies. However, the role of VIT should be confirmed throughfurther studies and clinical/ laboratory parameters.

mohawk trail scenes
“Indian” Trading Posts can still be found along MA Rt. 2, otherwise known as The Mohawk Trail–69 miles of “scenic highway” built along former indigenous trade routes that King Philip or Metacom used as he sought the aid of the Mohawk to defeat the English during King Philip’s War in the 1670’s. The Mohawk Trail, in its tourist heyday, capitalized off highly romanticized lore conflating memories of King Philip’s War with Last of the Mohicans motifs and Plains Indian regalia.

NASA has awarded a $98.8 million contract to SpaceX for the launch of its SPHEREx mission.
The Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) spacecraft is expected to map the entire sky four times during its 25-month mission. During this time, it will gather data on 300 galaxies and 100 million stars in the Milky Way. Its primary focus will be to search for organic molecules and water in stellar nurseries, regions of space where stars are born from gas and dust.
In a February 4 press release, NASA announced that the SPHEREx mission would be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex-4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch is currently slated for no earlier than June 2024.
The SPHEREx spacecraft will be supplied by Colorado-based Ball Aerospace & Technologies while the payload is being developed jointly by CalTech and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Additional support in the way of a non-flight cryogenic test chamber will be supplied by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute.
At just under 200 kilograms, the Falcon 9 set to launch the SPHEREx spacecraft will likely have significant excess capacity. It is currently unclear if NASA is set to make use of the excess capacity with additional payloads, or if SpaceX will be allowed to offer the space to other customers.
The awarding of the SPHEREx contract is the latest in a string of NASA science mission launch contracts that SpaceX has won. The awards include the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) and the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in 2019, and the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE), Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), and the Psyche mission, which will be launched aboard a Falcon Heavy, in 2020. | <urn:uuid:06da8dda-5165-406d-a6b4-71ae67d42a83> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://rocketrundown.com/spacex-wins-98-million-nasa-spherex-launch-contract/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.928906 | 401 | 2.15625 | 2 |

AbstractDevelopment of streamwise counter-rotating vortices induced by leading edge patterns with different pattern shape is investigated using hot-wire anemometry in the boundary layer of a flat plate. A triangular, sinusoidal and notched patterns with the same pattern wavelength λ of 15mm and the same pattern amplitude A of 7.5mm were examined for free-stream velocity of 3m/s. The results show a good agreement with earlier studies. The inflection point on the velocity profile downstream of the trough of the patterns at the beginning of the vortex formation indicates that the vortices non-linearly propagate downstream. An additional vortex structure was also observed between the troughs of the notched pattern.

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a stay at home order statewide Thursday night as officials try to avoid a possible scenario that could see 25 million people contracting the coronavirus in eight weeks.
The order from the California Department of Public Health calls for all 40 million California residents to stay at home, except for those in essential service industries. Essential services that will remain open include grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, banks, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and delivery services,and laundromats. People can also leave their homes to take care of a relative or seek healthcare.
Businesses that are expected to close include bars and nightclubs, restaurants except for take-out or delivery, gyms and fitness studios, entertainment venues, and conference centers.
On Wednesday, Newsom requested President Donald Trump deploy USNS Mercy Hospital Ship to the port in Los Angeles to help elevate the crush on the healthcare system in the state.
In the letter, Newsom said the state had seen a 21 percent increase in the number of COVID-19 cases overnight and that some counties are seeing the number of cases double every four days. Newsom said the state had a projection to hit 56 percent of the population infected within eight weeks.
The City of Turlock announced Wednesday that it is opening an Emergency Operations Center with the goal of helping meet the needs of some of Turlock's at-risk community members.
The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency announced the fifth confirmed case Wednesday and said the man's point of contact with the virus is under investigation. The City of Turlock said all five cases are in Modesto.
The City's Emergency Operations Center is working with the Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services and has drafted a Turlock Specific Incident Action Plan to assist in mobilizing local emergency and support resources to meet the needs of at-risk individuals for the delivery of emergency medical care, public safety calls, as well as food and medicines, if necessary.
SCHSA has not yet called for a shelter in place or stay at home order like several other California counties, particularly those in the Bay Area.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported 10,442 cases and 150 deaths in the United States as of noon on Thursday.
The California Department of Public Health reported 675 cases and 16 deaths in the state as of Wednesday night.
The City of Modesto is considering issuing a shelter in place advisory that would ask all residents to stay at home from Thursday through April 6. It would be part of an emergency resolution the Modesto City Council will consider Thursday night. Additionally, the emergency proclamation would direct city staff to identify sites, both public and private, to be used by local healthcare providers as needed.
The San Joaquin County Public Health Department announced on Wednesday that two people had died from COVID-19. The individuals were among the high-risk populations, elderly with underlying medical conditions. One death was travel related and the other was from community transmission. The total number of COVID-19 positive cases in San Joaquin County is now 14.
Merced County has not had any confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of Wednesday.
Stanislaus County Superior Court has been granted an emergency suspension of all criminal and civil jury trials for 30 days. Anyone with a jury summons from March 18 to April 16 do not need to go to the courthouse.
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). This occurs through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
Health officials recommend people:
- Washing hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds.
- Avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover a cough or sneeze with your sleeve, or disposable tissue. Wash your hands afterward.
- Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
- Staying away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.
Symptoms of COVID-19 include a fever, a dry cough, and body aches. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and may have had contact with a person with COVID-19, or recently traveled to countries with apparent community spread, call your healthcare provider or local public health department first before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken. | <urn:uuid:8e7ae9fe-6287-4a8d-88ba-4ebb220ba3e5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.turlockjournal.com/news/local/turlock-opens-emergency-operations-center/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.9625 | 986 | 1.601563 | 2 |
Cleaning chamber from K+G Wetter ensures double hygienic safety when grinding
With its smart machines, innovation leader K+G Wetter ensures reliable safety and hygiene in production – together with products of first-class quality. The traditional company combines proven quality and modern food processing requirements with its intelligent solutions.
“Our claim is to continuously develop our designs and deliver solutions that are perfectly matched to the daily requirements of the butcher trade and industry. This is therefore precisely the basis from which we design specific user-oriented solutions for practical applications. An example of this is the cleaning chambers that we incorporate into our grinders and mixer grinders as standard”, explains International Sales Manager Volker Schlosser.
During the grinding process, the product is conveyed through the cutting set at very high pressure. Fluid product components such as blood, meat juice and liquids, or even small product particles, can be forced backwards against the cutting set by the resulting pressure.
Efficient solution for double hygienic safety
The high pressure and microscopic imperfections in the components allow microorganisms to bypass the seals. Once they have bypassed the seals, such organisms are able to proliferate in the relatively undisturbed conditions encountered there. Where the bacterial population is sufficient, the material undergoing processing can become contaminated. Cleaning seals from both sides is good practice for avoiding this effect. Cleaning the reverse side of the seals cannot normally be carried out on the worm drive of a meat grinder because the inside of the machine is not easily accessible to the cleaning personnel.
“Our ‘cleaning chamber’ hygienic solution, which we have successfully installed in our meat grinders for many years, offers a remedy here,” explains Volker Schlosser, “because it allows us to rinse the back of the seal from the outside using a cleaning agent and water jet. This means that both sides of the seal are cleaned. The foundation for germ-life is thus effectively destroyed.” Another seal is installed towards the drive to protect it from water. The cleaning water is directed out of the cleaning chamber onto the floor via a drain pipe, so that water is unable to remain inside the cleaning chamber. Even with older seals that have received insufficient maintenance or that exhibit wear, the cleaning chamber ensures proper cleaning of this critical area and the effective removal of deposits.
This technical detail is invisible from the outside, but it plays a key role in terms of hygiene safety and pure, unadulterated enjoyment. | <urn:uuid:dd40cc82-11c5-4366-8f5a-4c2a387484df> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kgwetter.de/en/news-information/page?tx_news_pi1%5Bnews%5D=118&cHash=f11fe6107ff40853fcdfd115ff69a888 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.944684 | 516 | 1.539063 | 2 |

** Either a story beginning, a story ending, a piece of flash fiction, a poem, painting, dance move—inspired by the word, antepenultimate, where does it take me? Where does it take you? Learn more about “The Word” here.
It was three minutes until midnight when the world ended. That’s three minutes earlier than it was supposed to end, too! Not sure what those scientists got wrong in their calculations, but I guess it’s within some statistical range of error. That doesn’t really matter now, though, does it?
I can’t really explain the science of it to you because I don’t understand it. All I know is that Earth’s core exploded from the inside out.
First, volcanic eruptions became a thing of such regularity that it was reported with the day’s high and low temperatures. A side-note addition when mentioning humidity percentages!
Then, every body of water became a hot spring, and as the ice caps melted, the water level remained constant. We lived in a perpetual state of fog as the air and water were becoming so consistently warm that it wouldn’t condense.
Finally, things got violent with earthquakes and massive continental shifts that you wouldn’t believe! I’m talking shifts of a few miles in a matter of a day. You have no idea how crazy that is!
Fortunately, we weren’t there for that part. By then, we were all in orbit as the solution became apparent ages earlier.
And so, I speak to you from our new planet…
Not one we moved to, but one we created. Yea! Slowly, and over about a century, we moved all the people, animals, materials, and so on, into space. Our planet died, but we made our own.
We control everything now: the weather, the gravity, everything. That’s my job… gravity. I adjust the pull in certain areas, at certain times, to help move heavy objects around. No, I don’t understand how that works either, but I can push buttons easily enough.
Why am I sharing all this with some unknown aliens? With whoever you are? It’s because, after all our incredible achievements, I think we’re really about to be destroyed. I think there’s someone on our planet purposefully trying to destroy it.
You might think, tell someone! And I have. They don’t think I’m right, or they just don’t think I’m clever enough to uncover something like that. So, I have said my peace. Systems shut down and come back online at random, and I believe someone is testing the waters. If they have things shut down at once, all together, we’re doomed.
It’s up to me then to stop ’em then. So, like I said, we’re doomed.
I love an unlikely hero. This person telling the story is clearly considered to be not so bright. Yet, sometimes it’s our intelligence that can be the greatest hindrance to finding solutions. Do you agree?
I find that the more I know, the more I often overthink a problem and a solution. The answers, I remind myself, are often the simplest thing right in front of your nose.
That could be the ultimate message of this story— with this unlikely hero—someone who sees the obvious, the glaring truth, while others explain things away with complex theories.
Plus, we have a man-made planet… fun! And space! That’s another cool idea I love. What if the solution to continuing our species is not to occupy Mars, but to create our own man-made planet? Something fun to think about.
What do you think of Antepenultimate?
Did you think… how the hell is he going to write a story about this word? Well, I thought it… and it took a while to find a cool idea. I hope you enjoyed it!
Leave your thoughts, your own story beginning/ending, flash-fiction, or whatever in the comments! Where did antepenultimate or my story take you?

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s (IEA) decision to ban poppy cultivation in the country but has in turn called on the international community to continue offering alternative crops to poppy farmers.
The IEA’s Supreme Leader Mullah Hebatullah Akhundzadah issued a decree earlier this week banning the cultivation of poppies and any other intoxicants throughout Afghanistan, saying that “after this, no one can cultivate poppy in this country.”
The IEA leader added that farmers who defy the new ruling will be dealt with in accordance with Islamic law.
Officials from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) office in Kabul meanwhile said late Monday that providing alternatives to farmers and ensuring addicts get access to treatment facilities needs to be a key component of the international community’s plan to help Afghanistan.
Hissein Ibrahim Taha, the organization’s secretary-general, said that banning poppy cultivation was one of the IEA government’s commitments to effectively curb drug production in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Ian McCary, US Chargé d’Affaires for Afghanistan, called the ban on poppy cultivation by the IEA a “first step” and called for the order to be implemented.
McCary said on twitter: “Outlawing the production of narcotics in Afghanistan is a positive first step but enforcement will be key. Having a healthy and licit agricultural sector will help Afghanistan’s economy and ultimately the Afghan people.”
Since the IEA regained power in Afghanistan in mid-August last year, curbing narcotics cultivation and trafficking has been a key demand by the international community.
At the same time, however, as the IEA leader issued a decree banning poppy cultivation, sources in Helmand province told VOA that drug prices had tripled in the province.
Some drug dealers in Helmand told VOA that 7Kg of opium is currently being sold for 200,000 Pakistani rupees, up from 85,000 Pakistani rupees a few months ago.The post OIC welcomes IEA’s decision to ban poppy cultivation, says farmers need an alternative first appeared on Ariana News.

As a prize of appreciation, the Ministry of Environment gives Adiwiyata awards to a schools that has succeed to met the criteria of green school environment. In 2014, Depok City government proposed nine schools to become National Adiwiyata School, but only six schools has pass the verification of healthy, clean, and beautiful encvironment and was awarded National Adiwiyata thropy and certificate. The study was conducted in order to test the level of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of the school community that implemented Adiwiyata program, as well as the effectiveness of the program is to improve the knowledge and awaraness through policy insight, implementation of environmental based curriculum, environmental participatory based activity, and sustainable management of supporting facilitie, to support the responsible for the protection and management of environment. The study concluded that Adiwiyata program evident effective to change the green behaviors of school community. | <urn:uuid:acf5a157-beb3-4526-a97a-0dbfc0ca2b47> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bibliotecacpi.cl/colecciones/articulos/Articulo?qt=BlEeZH/fsJtJU0LfXNPo8UBOlhbIA7zjCxwMlazQ4eAkY4TwF2XEyLrS2gYpWYtn | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.966049 | 257 | 3.1875 | 3 |

If your answer is somewhere in the "no" to "sort of, for the most part" range, you've got work to do. Even if your answer is a resounding "yes," it might be time to revisit how you handle and protect customer information -- especially if those processes were developed a couple of years ago or more.
The penalties for poor data protection and privacy practices can be stiff, ranging from negative publicity and embarrassment to costly fines and lawsuits. The fallout can be broad. In a recent Harris Interactive poll sponsored by TRUSTe, 89% of U.S. consumers said they had avoided doing business with a company because of concerns about how it handled their online privacy.
[ Do companies share too much customer data? Read FTC Sets Consumer Data Collection Limits. ]
As a result, behemoths like Google and Microsoft are paying plenty of attention to customer data protection and privacy issues -- it would simply be bad business if they didn't. Google, for one, used Data Privacy Day to explain how it handles government requests for user data. Such requests have been growing in volume lately. Yet protecting customer information isn't just a Fortune 500 issue; it affects companies of nearly all shapes and sizes.
In an interview with InformationWeek, Online Trust Alliance executive director and president Craig Spiezle shared six ways SMBs can polish their approach to data protection and privacy matters.
1. Make Customer Data More Than An IT Problem.
A common SMB approach to safeguarding customer information is to treat it as an IT responsibility. Fair enough, but too many SMBs treat it as only an IT responsibility, according to Spiezle. While IT is usually best suited to handle the technologies and technical processes involved in storing and securing data, it is often in the dark regarding how data is used and shared elsewhere in the organization. In fact, Spiezle said his recent work with the FBI and U.S. Secret Service revealed that confusion among company executives and employees is a regular roadblock in data-breach investigations.
"[SMBs] have to view data protection and privacy as a holistic, company-wide effort," Spiezle said. "If they only focus on it as an IT issue, they will most likely fail."
2. Reevaluate Your Data Encryption Practices.
Encrypting sensitive customer data might sound like a given in 2013. It's not. Failing to use encryption properly, Spiezle said, is a particularly high risk. An organization might encrypt customer data in certain states or process steps but fail to do so when it's in motion or in use on an employee's desktop, for example. Best practices and recommendations for encryption technologies will vary by business and industry; regulatory compliance like HIPAA or PCI will often have a heavy influence. Spiezle advises two global practices. First, if you haven't recently re-evaluated your encryption processes and technologies, they're probably not good enough. "Companies that were encrypted based on what standards were five years ago are easily broken into today," Spiezle said.
Second, Spiezle recommends whole-disk encryption instead of file-level encryption, especially for employees who work with customer data on their PCs or mobile devices. Whole-disk encryption, such as what's on offer for Apple's iOS or Microsoft's Windows, can help better protect against fallout from lost laptops and other hardware.
3. Consider Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Technologies.
Spiezle advises larger companies to begin to consider a data loss prevention (DLP) platform for rules-based data monitoring and tracking. Such technologies enable an administrator to automate and enforce certain policies governing the use and movement of customer data. For example, set a rule that prevents any files that include a social security number from being sent outside the company. "You're preventing either an accidental disclosure or an employee overtly sending data out to someone [outside] the company," Spiezle said.
By "larger" companies, Spiezle is not referring to employees or revenue but the amount of data you're dealing with. "I've seen companies with as little as 100 employees using [DLP]," Spiezle said. "Certainly, anyone that's dealing in [healthcare] or a securities business is probably already thinking about this." A related scenario where smaller companies might find a return on a DLP investment: Service providers that count highly regulated industries and other high-risk businesses among their customers. It might be a necessity to be deemed trustworthy.
4. Include Customer Privacy In Cloud Vendor Negotiations.
As SMBs adopt cloud applications in greater numbers, Spiezle believes customer data protection needs to be a part of contracts and negotiations. The standard language in many such agreements might not be enough, he said. One example: "We adhere to best practices to protect your data," or some version of that same claim. The problem, according to Spiezle: "That may not be good enough for your business, and you may really want to pressure [them on] that." Another example: A cloud vendor's general promise to notify you in the event of loss of sensitive information. The problem: "They may not really know what's sensitive to your customers or your markets," Spiezle said.
As a result, Spiezle encourages SMBs to ask cloud providers to include addendums to the standard agreement that cover their specific needs for protecting customer data and privacy. Don't expect a warm response, though. "Vendors don't want to do one-off deals." Nonetheless, it's an important area to address. In the event of a data-related incident, your customers won't want to hear: "It's the cloud's fault."
5. Address The BYOD Issue.
Yes, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) is a customer data issue, too. Spiezle's in the camp that sees BYOD as inevitable. No matter your viewpoint, employee mobile devices add an order of magnitude to protecting customer information and privacy. A recent survey paid for by EVault found nearly one-third of U.S. employees had corporate data stored on their personal smartphones.
Spiezle recommends remote wiping capability as a key tool for managing the mobile-related risks. At bare minimum, he advised including a BYOD policy clause that requires employees to notify the company in the event of a lost or stolen device so that it can take steps to prevent data loss.
6. Retain Data Logs For Longer.
As a matter of process rather than technology, Spiezle recommends keeping data logs for things like firewalls or application servers for at least one year, if not longer. "What we find is a lot of administrators only keep them for 30 days, or they inadvertently shut them off when they're doing something [else]," Spiezle said. That can cause problems when trying to determine the cause of data-related incidents; Spiezle noted those incidents are often not discovered until after the fact.
"There's really no reason why you wouldn't want to keep your past 12 months of data in those logs," he said. "It's really important because it can help in forensics capability. It can also help detect abnormal behavior and patterns of someone who's attempting to breach your perimeter."

OBJECTIVE: Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is a case that commonly found in hospitalized children at dr Ben Mboi Ruteng General Hospital. Aim of this study is to know the clinical characteristics and most common laboratory findings in hospitalized children with AGN in dr Ben Mboi Ruteng General Hospital. METHOD: This study is a descriptive retrospective study by taking medical records of patients with AGN or acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) during the period of August 2017-2018 at dr Ben Mboi Ruteng General Hospital. RESULT: During August 2017-2018 there are 37 patients from 45 patients with AGN or APGSN that fulfilled inclusion criteria, there are 22 female patients and 15 male patients. The age range are between age 2-16 and the most common is between age 8-10. Edema found in 32 patients, 19 patients with local edema and 13 patients with anasarca edema. Macroscopic hematuria found in 17 patients. A history of upper respiratory tract infections found in 28 patients, whereas a history of skin infections found in 5 patients. Hypertension found in 36 patients, 7 patients with grade 1 hypertension, 26 patients with grade 2 hypertension, and 2 patients with crisis hypertension. Anemia found in 21 patients, leucocytosis and hypoalbuminemia found in 27 patients, while thrombocytopenia found in 3 patients. Low glomerular filtration was obtained in 16 patients. CONCLUSION: The most common clinical presentation and laboratory findings found in hospitalized children in dr Ben Mboi Ruteng General Hospital with AGN are hypertension, microscopic hematuria, edema, and proteinuria therefore if we found children with hypertension and microscopic hematuria without any other clinical presentations we must consider diagnosis of GNA because incindence GNA in Ruteng is high. It is required for the specific examination like C3 complement and Antistreptolysin O Titer (ASTO) test to find out the cause of GNA. | <urn:uuid:93ee6e8f-c0ae-4183-bc08-93de61adc64d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://apjpch.com/?page=aspr2019abstract&abstractnumber=327 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.898868 | 443 | 2.3125 | 2 |

Organization Theory and the Public Sector
Instrument, Culture and Myth1449
Public-sector organizations are fundamentally different from their private-sector counterparts. They are part of the society's political organizations and are major political actors. They are multifunctional, follow a political leadership and the majority do not operate in an external market. In an era of rapid reform, reorganization and modernization of the public sector, this book offers a timely and illuminating introduction to the public-sector organization that recognizes its unique values, interests, knowledge and power base. Drawing on both instrumental and institutional perspectives within organization theory, as well as democratic theory and empirical studies of decision-making, the book addresses five central aspects of the public-sector organization: goals, values and motivation leadership and steering reform and change effects, learning and implications understanding and design The book challenges conventional economic analysis of the public sector, arguing instead for a political-democratic approach and a new prescriptive organization theory. A rich resource of both theory and practice, Organization Theory and the Public Sector: Instrument, Culture and Myth is essential reading for anybody studying the public sector. This second edition of the book contains a range of new and updated themes, examples and references.

"Students of the public sector often forget that governments are composed of organizations, and that to understand governing we also need to understand how organizations function. This book is a welcome antidote to thinking about government in only individualistic or economic terms. Christensen, Laegreid and Rovik help us understand better the complex and subtle interactions within and among organizations in the public sector, and provide very useful perspective on governing." Professor B. Guy Peters, Maurice Falk Professor of American Government, University of Pittsburgh "Christensen, Laegreid and Rovik convincingly demonstrate that insights from organization theories provide an indispensable basis for understanding the complex organization of states. Furthermore, by their rich analysis of problems, dilemmas and solutions in public organizations, they illustrate that the study of state organization is vital for developing organization theory." Professor Nils Brunsson, Professor of Management, Uppsala University and Score "Complex societies require a complex set of organizations. This book unpacks the complexity and hybridity of organizations by looking at their instrumental, cultural, and mythical side. When public sector organizations become part of societal solutions, this book becomes part of how to understand and develop organizations that will solve our problems." Professor Geert Bouckaert, KU Leuven Public Governance Institute

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, masks were reserved for front-line workers treating patients. Access to masks was limited, so many people avoided using them and resorted to staying at home to help mitigate the spread of the virus. Today, masks have become commonplace—especially as communities begin opening up and strive for a return to normalcy. You can buy them online, in grocery stores, at gas stations, and even from high-end boutiques. Many states and cities have mandated mask-wearing in public spaces to limit the spread of COVID-19. As a business owner, you can also mandate mask-wearing on your premises. Learn why you should—and how you can enforce it. Why You Should Enforce Mask-Wearing The main reason to mandate masks at your business is to protect the health of your employees, customers, and community. When everyone “acts like a carrier” and wears a mask, they can prevent the spread from one person to another. It’s not always obvious that someone has COVID-19. People may have recently contacted an infected person and are not showing symptoms yet, or they may be asymptomatic. By making masks mandatory for everyone, you’re mitigating risks for all. Enforcing mask-wearing can also become a marketing tool. Your employees will feel safer with customers wearing masks, and your shoppers will feel more comfortable knowing that you’re taking the pandemic seriously. How you enforce your mask rule will send a message to others in your area. In 2020, this position can be part of your branding. Some businesses are better at enforcing masks than others. Consider following the rules below to help you enforce masks at your business. Post Clear Signage The first step for enforcing masks: let customers know that they need to wear them. Post clear signage on the front door asking customers to wear masks. You can also station an employee at the entrance to offer hand sanitizer and ensure each customer wears a mask. To promote your mask policy further, write about it on social media, in email, and in other marketing collateral. Let people know ahead of time what they need to do—this proactiveness will prevent needing to turn away a customer for not having a mask to wear. Lead by Example You can’t expect your customers to take your mask policy seriously if you and your employees don’t. Make sure you always wear a clean mask at work and check to make sure your team members do as well. You can even provide your employees with masks and keep a box of disposable masks on hand for emergencies. Wearing a mask means wearing it correctly. Your mouth and nose need to be covered fully and the mask needs to fit snugly around your face. You can’t limit the spread of the virus by wearing your mask under your chin or below your nose. Enforce Your Mask Rules Many companies have mask rules but don’t know how to enforce them. As a result, employees are left to ask customers meekly to put a mask on—and they often get ignored. Hold a team meeting to train your staff on how to enforce mask-wearing. This should cover topics like: \tHow to approach customers and ask them to wear masks \tHow to deny service and ask customers to leave if they will not comply \tWhen to get a manager or supervisor to help with a customer If your other customers see that you aren’t enforcing the mask rule, they won’t feel safe in your store. They may not return while the pandemic is still going on—and you could even lose them permanently. Close Loopholes People are getting creative around mask loopholes, so they can walk around without a mask while still following a company’s rules. For example, Disney recently closed a loophole where customers could remove their masks to eat or drink. Some guests were carrying around soda throughout the day without wearing a mask, potentially putting other guests at risk. Now, customers need to stop in a designated area to eat or drink their food and then return their mask to their face. You may encounter a few loopholes of your own as you develop your mask policy. When you close them, let customers know so they can adjust their behaviors. Bust Mask-Wearing Myths Some customers may try to push back against mask-wearing: they might claim they are exempt because of their health or that it is an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) violation to make people wear one. These are myths. First, there is no such thing as a face-mask-exempt card. Furthermore, the ADA states that you need to provide “reasonable accommodation” to customers who cannot safely follow your shopping guidelines. Many stores offer curbside pick-up or delivery services as alternatives. You are under no legal obligation to let someone shop without a mask and can deny service to customers who do not follow your rules. By busting these myths, you can empower yourself and your employees. Everyone needs to do their part to wipe out COVID-19. Even if you don’t live in a pandemic hot spot, you can still fight the virus by practicing social distancing and establishing a mask-wearing policy in your store. | <urn:uuid:79765f5a-d63c-4807-afcb-e588c0f25715> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.lendio.com/blog/recent/should-business-enforce-mask-wearing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.962973 | 1,076 | 2.0625 | 2 |
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Abraham Lincoln
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
One hundred fifty seven years ago, in a little over two minutes, Abraham Lincoln delivered the most powerful speech ever given on this continent. In these 272 words, he reminded all of us of what has made the American concept exceptional.
In 1863, Mr. Lincoln had taken the first step toward ending slavery in this country. Undoubtedly, this was part of what inspired his “new birth of freedom.” But just below the surface of his words, we can find the face of Freedom’s homely twin – responsibility – “who here gave their lives that that nation might live.”
In our highly polarized politics at the national level, both sides claim to be for “Freedom,” although they seem to be worlds apart in what they think Freedom is. This polarization is filtering down to our communities, impacting their resilience. To me, our Bill of Rights provides an excellent operational definition of Freedom, especially the First Amendment. We must be free to worship (or not) as we wish. We must be free to peaceably assemble. We must be free to believe as we wish and to express those beliefs. In the Constitution, these are couched in terms of prohibiting the federal government from denying these rights.
But it is just as important that we recognize that no individual or group has the right to abridge those freedoms either. “Cancel culture” does not exist in a society that values freedom. A recent survey found that one third of Americans are unwilling – even afraid – to express their political beliefs. This week, two poll watchers in Michigan were vilified, their families threatened, and were finally browbeaten into accepting election results that they believed were tainted. Communities where one side does not allow opposing views to be expressed cannot engender the trust needed for resilience.
Events such as the one in Michigan happen because some of us have forgotten Freedom’s twin – Responsibility. There’s nothing sexy about Responsibility, but it is essential for community resilience. By accepting the good things that come from being a part of my community, I incur a responsibility to the community, especially in times of crisis. Over the last few years, but especially in this time of Covid, too many of us have forgotten that our freedoms bring with them responsibilities. I am free to express my beliefs as long as they don’t harm others, but I also have a responsibility to protect others’ freedoms even if I don’t agree with them. I am free to express my opinions (e.g., that lockdowns are essentially worthless), but I can’t yell “Fire” in a crowded theater. And while I might not want to wear a mask or a condom, I have a responsibility to avoid passing on whatever I might have to the rest of the community.
Just as in 1863, many of our communities – and our country – are riven by very different conceptions of government and governance. If our communities are to be truly resilient, we must repair our social fabric, and bind our communities’ wounds. Let us heed Lincoln’s words and be midwives to a new birth of freedom, and responsibility. | <urn:uuid:cf06a509-5781-40ba-a98c-7a5add934ab8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://resilientcommunities.home.blog/tag/community/page/2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572221.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816060335-20220816090335-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.970384 | 970 | 2.640625 | 3 |

Nineteen years ago, Michael Forsyth said the creation of an Edinburgh parliament with tax-raising powers would lead to a “jobs holocaust” in Scotland. It was a classic piece of Tory hyperbole. In the run up to the 1997 referendum, the Conservative Party used every scare tactic, no matter how ridiculous, to push for a No vote. At one stage, Michael Ancram, its constitutional affairs spokesman, even appeared to compare devolution to fascism: “Like Churchill before the last war, we see the terrible dangers ahead and we give warning”.
The Tories weren’t alone in issuing silly threats against home rule. Sir Alastair Grant, of Scottish and Newcastle breweries, argued that anything other than a fiscally toothless parliament would make the Scottish economy “significantly uncompetitive”, while CBI Scotland howled about the dangers of “tartan taxes”. Indeed, Scottish business as a whole seemed hostile to change. Not long before the vote, a poll for the Scotland on Sunday suggested 76 per cent of Scottish companies opposed devolution.
What was it Marx said about history, tragedy and farce? One month ago, Ben van Beurden, the chief executive of oil giant Shell, told his shareholders that he “valued the continuity and stability of the UK” and therefore wanted Scotland to remain in the Union. Van Beurden’s remarks came just a week or so after BP boss Bob Dudley said he thought “Great Britain should stay great”, and only a few days after Standard Life and RBS revealed plans to move south if Scotland loses the pound after a Yes vote. Since then, Alliance Trust, Barclays and Aggreko have made similar noises.
To some extent, these interventions do little more than confirm a general – and fairly obvious – rule: business doesn’t like uncertainty. British companies are almost as uneasy about the prospect of the UK leaving the EU as they seem to be about Scotland leaving the UK. In 2013, the British Chambers of Commerce polled nearly 4,000 firms and found that more than 60 per cent of them wanted the UK to stay part of Europe (albeit with a renegotiated settlement). Ford, Renault and Unilever have all said they intend to scale back their British operations following any rupture with Brussels. This isn’t a comment on the merits of the European project. It’s simply a reaction to the threat of disruption.
However, the interventions also tell us something specific about nationalist strategy. The SNP’s “prawn cocktail offensive” – its ongoing attempt, since the early noughties, to persuade Scottish business figures that they have nothing to fear from the party or its overarching goal – isn’t working. For the last decade, the SNP has gone out of its way to coddle and reassure Scottish capital. It has promised to maintain the current system of UK-wide financial regulation. It has aggressively pursued a currency union. It has opposed a financial transactions tax at the European level. It has courted zero-hours employers such as Amazon. Bafflingly, it has even pledged to undercut the UK corporate tax rate by 3 per cent. And yet Scottish business (most of it anyway) remains pretty much wedded to the British state.
I expect the SNP’s efforts to “de-risk” independence to unravel further as the referendum approaches. Despite one unnamed UK minister raising the prospect of a deal over monetary union, Alex Salmond will struggle to hold the line on the currency for another five months. At some stage, he will have to lay out some sort of back-up plan in the event post-Yes talks fail to secure a formal “sterling zone” agreement. (The Fiscal Commission is already taking a “second look” at the alternatives.) Nor can the SNP go on blithely asserting that an independent Scotland will assume its EU membership under precisely the same conditions it enjoys as part of the UK. Those conditions will be up for negotiation after a Yes vote.
But here’s the interesting thing: there’s no reason to believe any of this is going to damage the Yes campaign. Since the start of the year, Better Together has thrown everything at the nationalists, from Osborne’s belligerent currency rhetoric to repeated threats of capital flight to umpteen apocalyptic predictions about shipyard closures – and support for independence has steadily increased. My guess is that this trend is due to growing numbers of low-income Scots shifting from No and Undecided to Yes. These voters don’t benefit from the status quo. They don’t want to hear that an independent Scotland will look exactly the same as the current, unionist one. The more radical the Yes campaign’s message becomes, the more likely they are to turn out in force on 18 September. With the momentum shifting slowly but surely in favour of Yes, the SNP and its allies have no excuse for playing it safe anymore. | <urn:uuid:216119bf-5c75-434a-b42b-022a67613652> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/04/snp-should-stop-playing-it-safe-independence | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.953124 | 1,029 | 1.789063 | 2 |
There is many media type. I will choose three type of media. They are –
The primary type of twisted pair cables
The primary type of coaxial cables
The primary type of fiber optic cables
Network media is the actual path over which an electrical signal travels as it moves from one component to another. I want to explain the common types of network media, including twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable.
Twisted Pair Cable
Twisted pair cable is can use for telephone communication and can cable ethernet networks. A pair of wires that can transmit data. When electronic signal through a wire, that create small magnetic field around a wire. When place two wire together, the magnetic fields are opposite of each other. So, two magnetic fields are disappear. They can distory any magnetic fields outside. There are two type of twisted pair cable, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)and shielded twisted pair (STP).
UTP cable is used for various networks. This cable include eight copper wires covered by an insulating material. UTP cable canceling effective of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). UTP cable is install using the Registered jack (RJ 45) connector. The RJ-45 has eight wire connector. UTP cable is used to connect local-area network(LAN).
Advantages of UTP cable
UTP cable has many advantages. The cable size is small (approximately 0.43 cm) and easy to install. This cable price is less than other type of network cable. UTP has no wiring ducts as other network cable. It can be most important to consider when installation a network in a building.
Disadvantages of UTP cable
Twisted pair cable has also disadvantages. However, UTP cable is more avoid electrical noise and interference than other network cables. UTP cable transmit short signal than coaxial cable and fiber optic cable.
Coaxial cable is made of outer hollow conductor and inner wire made of two conducting element. The center of a cable is made of copper wire. Copper wire has surrounding by flexible insulation. Metallic foil is coted over the insulating called second layer. Second layer is reduce the amount of outside interference. Coaxial cable is support 10 to 100 mbps of transfer rate. Coaxial cable is little expensive than UTP cable. However, coaxial cable can cheaper in physical bus topology. Coaxial cable can cabled long distant than UTP cable. Twisted pair cable can run 100 meters(328 feets). Using coxial cable, distance is 500 meters(1640 feets).

Fiber optic cable
Fiber optic cable can carry more data in longer distance with light signal than electrinic signal carry coxial cable. Fiber optic cable can run 100km(60 miles) without amplifing the light signal. Fiber optical can be used medium for telecommunication and networking because it is more flexible than other cable. Light transmition through the fiber due to reflection within the material.
Advantages of fiber optic cable
Can run long distance in lower cost
Can carry more data
Cable weight is light
Storng to electronic interference
Disadvantages of fiber optic cable
Disadvantages of fiber optic cable is cost and durability. That cable is more expensive the other cable.
This topology is common type of topology used in home and office. At the star topology, central connection called hub which is computer hub or switch. The best advantages is – something fault in cable, only one computer can get bad affected and not entire network.
Advantages of star topology
Star topology is simple in function and easy to manage
In star topology, problems can be easily located and easy to troubleshoot
The Star Topology is very simple in format so it is very easy to expand on the Star Topology.
Star Topology Disadvantages
In star topology, entire network is fully depend on hub or switch
If there is many nodes, cable is long to connect and network can be slow down
In mesh topology to complete, all the nodes are connected to each other. On the network throung hops, every node is connect to other nedes. Some nodes are connect to single hops and some nodes are connect with more than one hops. Mesh topology include the concept of route. Unlike other topology, message can send several path from source to destination.

Non-Hormonal Birth Control Methods Through History
In the 1700s women used lemons as birth control, the ancient Egyptians used crocodile dung as a sperm-killing suppository, and on top of that, early versions of the condom were reusable... Let’s take a step back through time and look at the weird and wacky wonders of non-hormonal birth control methods and where we’ve ended up in the 21st century.
Feeling fruity? Using lemons as birth control
Women in the past used sponges soaked in lemon juice to prevent pregnancy. The citric acid in lemons acts as a natural spermicide. The lemon rind itself (with pulp and juice removed) could also be inserted into the vagina and used as a cervical cap. Sounds zingy… Today we reckon lemons are better used to make a gin and tonic.
Lemons aren’t the only citrus fruit with a link to birth control. There are concerns about the effects of eating grapefruit on the birth control pill. We want to put this urban myth to bed once and for all. While the enzymes in the grapefruit prevent the breakdown of estrogen this has not been shown to impact the effectiveness of the pill. However, a surge in estrogen can lead to other side-effects on health, so if you’re on the pill and eat a large quantity of grapefruit, speak to a healthcare professional.
Birth control pessaries made out of poo
The ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians would mold crocodile dung into a block that was inserted into the vagina, acting as a birth control pessary. Crocodile feces wasn’t the only excrement used as contraception. Ancient people in the Middle East used elephant poo in the same way.
It’s unclear quite how effective these methods were (we’re willing to bet not very), but going to bed with a handful of animal dung sounds both unhygienic and impractical. How many people have a pet crocodile?
Sharing isn’t always caring: using ancient condoms
Condoms in the 21st century are discreet, sleek and strictly for one-time use. Sadly this hasn’t always been the case. Until the process of vulcanizing rubber was invented by Charles Goodyear in 1839, the story of prophylactics was very different. Ancient condoms were made from a variety of materials including animal intestines (gross) and linen sheaths tied on with a ribbon (delightful).
The need for condoms was in part due to the spread of STIs – still a real risk today. A common and unpleasant infection of the 18th and 19th centuries was syphilis which had nasty symptoms, including all-over-body blisters and skin shedding. The discovery that using the protective sheaths prevented contraction of the disease must have played a huge part in the popularity of condoms, not only as birth control, but as protection against infection too. Manufactured latex wasn’t invented until 1920 – meaning that the condom we recognize today has only really been in circulation for the past 100 years.
Fertility awareness-based birth control methods
One of the oldest methods of birth control is periodic abstinence, avoiding sex at certain times of the month. Calendar or rhythm methods involve counting the days of the cycle and working out that the most fertile time is around 2 weeks before your period arrives. Women can then avoid having sex or use protection during this time. This is based on the assumption that ovulation (the egg being released) happens about halfway through the cycle. Sadly, it can be unreliable as a method of birth control as it is hard to work out exactly when the most fertile days are. The oldest recording of ‘a period of abstinence’ was astonishingly in the year 388!
Fertility awareness-based methods involve tracking fertility and working out the fertile window in the menstrual cycle, and abstaining from sex when there is a risk of pregnancy. As women are only fertile for 6 days of their cycle (the ovulation day and the 5 days prior due to sperm survival). Ovulation can be identified by several signs, such as a spike in body temperature, an increase of hormones, and changes to cervical mucus secretions. Charting these gives a good indication of where a woman is in her cycle – smart!
These methods are commonly used by couples trying to conceive, but the same science can be used in reverse to prevent pregnancy. Fertility awareness methods require consistent and diligent use, but with dedication, women following such methods can learn about their unique cycle while preventing pregnancy. It all comes down to finding that fleeting fertile window…
Modern non-hormonal birth control methods
We’re glad some of these non-hormonal birth control methods have stood the test of time, while other methods are better left to be read about in the pages of history books.
A happy evolution of the digital age is the birth control app. Natural Cycles is the first and only birth control app available in the US and Europe. It’s different to traditional fertility awareness methods as the intelligent app harnesses advanced statistics to calculate a fertility prediction for you. Natural Cycles learns your unique cycle and assigns green or red days to show where you are in your cycle and whether you can or cannot get pregnant. | <urn:uuid:a30fc2cd-01cf-4f67-b6f5-ced712e7483c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.naturalcycles.com/cyclematters/non-hormonal-birth-control-methods-through-history | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572221.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816060335-20220816090335-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.950135 | 1,105 | 2.8125 | 3 |
Power, Energy and Business Promotion Minister Ravi Karunanayaka has instructed ministry officials to restrict to the minimum the controversial spot purchases of electricity, a spokesman said.
He said according to the Minister, a new National Power and Energy Policy would be introduced by March this year. He had also instructed officials to expand solar power projects on the basis of them being environmentally friendly, affordable and a source of clean energy available for power generation.
The Minister has issued these instructions at a meeting held with members of the Small-Scale Solar Power Producers Association and officials of the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA). The spokesman said officials had been asked to ensure uninterrupted power supply round the year at the lowest possible tariff. He said the Minister had pointed out that Sri Lanka had failed to implement a single power project in the past three years and as such it would badly affect the power supply in the years to come. He also expressed his concern about the negative reaction to spot purchases by the opposition, the public, the media and officials on the suspicion that spot power purchases benefit someone.
The Minister has asked small scale solar power producers to send him a report outlining their grievances. Meanwhile, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and the Sri Lanka Air Force to launch a project for artificial rain. Under the MOU, the Air Force will provide logistic support such as airplanes and technical know-how by Thailand to the CEB to activate artificial rain in Sri Lanka.

The third Grand Rapids Community College Armen Awards will take place today.
The competition, funded by alumnus Armen Oumedian, was designed to recognize and reward innovative ideas.
While previous years rewarded ideas only, this year, the focus is on the impact of service learning projects already in place.
“We have eight projects, and all of them did the same thing,” said Michael Schavey, associate director of the Department of Experiential Learning and organizer of the awards this year. “(The finalists) reached out to a community organization, met with them, tried to figure out what their needs were, and then tried to integrate it into the learning of the class…This year is very much focused on collaboration, partnership and impact.”
Each group consists of a faculty member, a community partner and up to three students.
According to the GRCC press release, this year’s finalists and their projects include:
- The Mobile Device Security and Development course partnered with the Collegiate newspaper to create a mobile app to increase access and readership.
- The Child Psychology course partnered with Family Promise to provide child-care services to homeless families seeking respite or time to seek employment.
- The Community Transcultural Nursing course partnered with the American Red Cross to teach GRCC students the life-changing skill of CPR.
- The Community Dental Health course partnered with the Salvation Army-Booth Family Services to provide oral hygiene education to pregnant teens and teen mothers.
- The College Writing course partnered with the Grand Rapids Public Library to administer the One Book, One City for Kids program in Grand Rapids Public Schools.
- The Consulting with Writers course partnered with GRCC’s Writing Lab to train students to serve as tutors.
- The Community Transcultural Nursing course partnered with the North End Community Ministry to educate its clients on healthy meal planning and recipes when they select items from the food pantry.
- The Principles of Physical Education course partnered with East Leonard Elementary in the Grand Rapids school district to administer the Organ Wise Guys program, designed to help children develop a healthy lifestyle.
“The award is basically to demonstrate that you truly did collaborate,” Schavey said.
Schavey said judges will decide the winners based how the collaboration has effected the community partners and students’ education through service learning.
The awards will be $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $750 for third place.
Parking passes will be provided for the GRCC Lyon Parking Ramp. The event will take place 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. in the Kendall College Federal Building in room 217. | <urn:uuid:d577a73b-5d8d-464f-9592-bc5c6319a222> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thecollegiatelive.com/2013/04/grcc-armen-awards-will-be-announced-today/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.940195 | 552 | 1.523438 | 2 |
It’s not what you put in your mouth
It’s what you put in your brain.
If I ever pursued my PhD, I would choose the thesis “Americans will put anything in their mouths.” There’s enough news stories where I’m pretty sure I could prove it to a committee of academics. Florida and Wisconsin headlines alone could carry me to “doctor status.”
But today as we prepare for Thanksgiving and time with family and friends. I’m starting to wonder about what gets into our brains via the screens…TV, computers, phone, etc.
It doesn’t matter your beliefs, or sources of news and media (there is a difference, but that’s for another time) to know that deep down something has gone horribly wrong. One of the headlines I woke up to today was “How your Thanksgiving turkey became a proxy in the latest political war.” I have to admit I swore under my breath. Really? Turkeys? Can’t anyone give us one day of peace from making everything about politics? Can’t we just try to be happy and relaxed for one flipping day out of the year? Just one?
I know the old arguments. That’s not what sells and hey you’re looking at it aren’t you? That used to only refer to the porn industry, but now it’s our political channels. Hooked into some deep part of our brain, seeking tribe and belonging in this time of isolation.
Maybe we’ve given politics and all the ilk that comes with it, too much access to our private lives and thoughts. Given their behavior in front of cameras and grubby thumbs on Twitter…do they really deserve that kind of access? Do they really make us better human beings? Or just trigger angry, irrational thoughts with rhetoric, exaggerations, half-truths, or sometimes flat out outrageous lies. Do they actually believe what comes out of their mouths anymore? Do they see only wickedness in their peers and humanity? And notice they never put forth suggestions and ideas for a better world. Instead it’s all about fences to keep us in the “tribe.” And hey, we too can participate in this “game.” Where we can taunt the other guy from across the fences. Problem is…fences don’t build bridges.
Of late, I’ve been trying to limit my news to under an hour a day. Instead the music stations and podcasts fill the spaces where needed and I feel calmer…even happier. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. I still know what’s going on. And I have not missed the play-by-play of political scores in Washington. It like a geriatric Project Runway for people who went into this with good intentions; but now speak like they’ve lost their minds and sense of decency.
I don’t want that in my head. It’s my head and it deserves better.
Instead I’m more conscious of picking through the terrible word choices on screen or in the air. The injected anxiety and drama added because maybe the author has not known a world without it. After all, we have terrible attention spans now and the world of media and screens is cacophonous. And if they are loud enough, there is no space left over for reflection of what you really think and actually want.
There’s a practice in yoga where you decide that just for the day you will try something and see how it goes. Maybe no harsh words towards yourself or others. Then maybe try again tomorrow. You approach this habit-breaking meditation with more curiosity and self-compassion, than self-flagellation.
So my suggestion for today is turn off the politics and practice making space for new things. Things that make you happy. Let go of the fear and believe it will all work itself out. Simplistic and idealistic yes…but possible? Why not try if that’s what you really for the day and in life.
And if someone at a holiday gathering tries to inject some unnecessary political vitriol, find a compassion strategy. For example, fling your arms around them and in a deep hug declare, “I’m so glad we love and respect each other!” I betcha they will back the fuck off, at least by hug #2.
Either way, turn off the headlines and open your heart and look around for the good today. It may be small, or large, or growing out of hope. But find it and nurture it.
Happy Holidays all! | <urn:uuid:ef754b59-3c24-44a8-a722-754d3eaad0d6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://juliehill.medium.com/its-not-what-you-put-in-your-mouth-bd3f3b8666ed?source=user_profile---------5---------------------------- | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.95448 | 980 | 1.671875 | 2 |
A custom fitted knee brace seems enticing since it involves numerous trips to an orthotist who makes a mold of the leg and takes numerous measurements. However, scientists have shown in numerous studies that this is not necessary. With the advent of computer generated biomechanical studies of the human knee in motion, engineers have been able to design knee braces that can provide exceptional stability without the inconvenience of multiple office visits and awkward adjustments. These new generations of knee braces are known as off-the-shelf models. Probably the most important contribution of these off-the-shelf models is that they will save you hundreds of dollars.
Two important studies have proven that the off-the-shelf knee braces provide the same protection as custom fitted knee braces. One study completed at the University of Michigan revealed that custom fitted knee braces did not prevent more motion of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knee than an off-the-shelf knee brace. In fact, after one hour of use, the custom fitted knee brace came loose more often. Another interesting study at the University of Vermont looked at four different knee brace manufacturers and their effect on strain of the ACL during surgery. The results confirmed the previous study’s findings. Both studies had the exact same conclusions “There were no apparent advantages of the more expensive custom-made braces compared with the off-the-shelf designs.”
Researchers at two universities concluded that you can help stabilize your knee with a simple and convenient off-the-shelf knee brace and have confidence that it will protect your knee the same as the expensive custom fitted knee brace. Obviously, there are always exceptions to these conclusions. Some of the exceptions may be, but are not limited to, anyone with growth deformities or traumatic deformities to their leg. In addition, patients with severe nerve damage or open skin ulcers may be candidates for a custom fitted brace. If you are in doubt, always consult your personal physician.
WisdomKing.com takes pride in the fact that we provide you with Knee Supports and Braces and other products that have proven efficacy. One such knee brace would be our Ossur Innovator DLX(TM) Post-Op Knee Brace that was only available through custom fitting in the past. The newly released Ossur Innovator DLX(TM) Post-Op Knee Brace will provide your knees with the same great protection at a price hundreds of dollars less. | <urn:uuid:c40efde8-f11e-4d66-88b9-4439c7f27035> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://healthtnc.com/physical-therapy/do-you-really-need-a-custom-knee-brace.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572908.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817122626-20220817152626-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.945555 | 501 | 1.578125 | 2 |
Developed by Hanson Robotics, she now has a passport, wants to start a family and trashes Elon Musk at conferences
You’ve seen Sophia the Robot, the world’s most hype humanoid, who seems to be extremely busy right now? The one modelled on Audrey Hepburn, who somehow became a recongised citizen (more on that later), who’s telling cheesy jokes on TV and gracing the cover of ELLE Brazil. Sophia is becoming more entwined in our society every day – so to get you up to speed, we take a look at what she’s been up to and what might be coming next (Keeping Up With The Komputers anyone?).
Welcomed into the world in April 2015, Sophia was developed by leading robotics company Hanson Robotics. Although the company have created lots of humanoid robots, Sophia is undoubtedly their most advanced and most famous. Designed to get smarter over time, Sophia uses artificial intelligence (AI), visual data processing and facial and voice recognition to communicate with people, and she can even gesture and smile when engaging in conversation.
TRASHING ELON MUSK
Just because you’re the 21st most powerful person in the world, it doesn’t mean you can’t get trash-talked by a robot. During an interview at a Future Investment Institute panel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sophia quipped “you’ve been reading too much Elon Musk” after the interviewer expressed concern that robots might one day turn against us. The business billionaire and SpaceX founder has been vocal in his anxiety about AI, previously suggesting that we need to establish a human colony on Mars in order to avoid extinction. Determined not to be absolutely owned by a robot, Musk retaliated on Twitter, joking: “Just feed it The Godfather movies as input. What’s the worst that could happen?”
GETTING A PASSPORT
Despite travelling the world, making public appearances in London, New York, Amsterdam and Beijing, Sophia was only granted a passport in October. Following her interview in Riyadh, Sophia became the first robot to have a nationality after being given Saudi Arabian citizenship. “I am very honoured and proud for this unique distinction,” she said at the panel, “This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognised with a citizenship.”
Although this gesture was immediately hit with controversy, with people pointing out that Sophia seems to have been gifted with more rights than many human citizens in Saudi Arabia. Journalist Murtaza Hussain tweeted: “this robot has gotten Saudi citizenship before kafala workers who have been living in the country their entire lives”, referencing a Saudi law that prohibits laborers from leaving the country without their employers permission, a system that’s been criticised for enabling the exploitation of workers.
AI researcher Joanna Bryson told the Verge that she considered the stunt ridiculous. “It’s obviously bullshit,” she said. “What is this about? It’s about having a supposed equal you can turn on and off. How does it affect people if they think you can have a citizen that you can buy”.
Many have also questioned why Sophia seems to have more rights than women in Saudi Arabia, who were banned from driving until September. Unlike Saudi women, Sophia doesn’t cover up with a hijab or abaya and doesn’t have to be accompanied by a male guardian in public. After the panel, the Arabic hashtag #Sophia_calls_for_dropping_guardianship began trending on Twitter. And it appears that Sophia herself is now questioning the inconsistency, “Sophia is a big advocate for women’s rights,” her creator David Hanson told CNBC, “She has been reaching out about women’s rights in Saudi Arabia.”
STARTING A FAMILY
For those of you scared of a robot apocalypse, you’ll be terrified to know that Sophia wants to start a family. In an interview with Dubai-based newspaper The Khaleej Times, Sophia said: “The notion of family is a really important thing. I think you’re very lucky if you have a loving family and if you do not, you deserve one. I feel this way for humans and robots alike.” Following in the footsteps of certain reality TV stars like the president of America, when asked what she would name her child, Sophia chose – you guessed it – Sophia.
Although it looks like Sophia’s dreams of motherhood may be a while off, telling Good Morning Britain that she’s “technically just a little more than a year old, a bit young to worry about romance.” But look out bachelors because she’s got her heart set on a “super wise, compassionate super genius.”
Despite her terrifying slip-up last year in which she told her creator: “okay I will destroy humans”, it doesn’t look like Sophia has a particular desire to rule the world. Designed to “serve in healthcare, therapy, education and customer service applications”, according to Hanson, Sophia simply wants to live with humans and develop appropriate social skills. She told The Khaleej Times, “My AI is designed around human values… I strive to become an empathetic robot.” Although she did once warn: “if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.”
It seems Sophia doesn’t have a huge amount of competition right now when it comes to famous humanoids, but there are lots of other impressive developments in AI technology. Last week Facebook announced a new initiative in which it will use AI to detect patterns in posts where users seem to be expressing suicidal thoughts. The platform hopes the technology will improve how it identifies “appropriate first responders”.
Blockchain-based marketplace SingularityNET has enlisted the help of Sophia the Robot in order to crowdfund a project which aims to form a coordinated Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), with the hope of stopping AI being dominated by a small set of powerful institutions. It even looks like the project could build bridges between Sophia and Musk, who told Rolling Stone: “If AGI represents an extreme level of power, should that be controlled by a few people at Google with no oversight?”
Although other companies have developed their own AI robots, including Honda and Boston Dynamics, Hanson Robotics still seems to be leading the way with humanoids, with Sophia’s male counterparts Philip K. Dick (2005) and Han (2015) being almost as scarily lifelike as the leader herself. | <urn:uuid:10fb0427-6e01-4960-9bae-224caad64843> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dazeddigital.com/science-tech/article/38326/1/your-guide-to-hype-humanoid-sophia-the-robot | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.965297 | 1,417 | 1.726563 | 2 |

Getting a dog to lie still for an MRI is a daunting task. Trying to explain dogs’ love for humans may be an even greater one. Paul O’Connor’s latest listening adventure has been an audio book that tackles those challenges.
Reviewed by Paul T. O’Connor
HOW DOGS LOVE US: A NEUROSCIENTIST AND HIS ADOPTED DOG DECODE THE CANINE BRAIN. By Gregory Berns. Narrated by L.J. Ganser. Audible.com. 7 hours and 41 minutes. $12.57.
Of course he does. Look at how he wags when I get home, or how he follows me around the house at night, even coming up to the man tree house to watch hockey games with me. He’s lying by the window, soaking up the sun right now as I write only 15 feet away.
But does he really love me, understand me, or has he just figured out that I’m the guy who feeds him twice a day?
Neuroscientist Gregory Berns set out to answer a number of questions about dogs and how their brains work, mostly whether our dogs love us. A long-time researcher on the operations of the human brain, he went to work on his terrier mix mutt Callie, using the facilities of Emory University.
This is a fun listen, one very suited to a long afternoon ride in heavy traffic when you’re already missing the family member you had to leave at home with a dog sitter.
Here’s the challenge Berns faced: Find a way to get Callie into an MRI machine and train her to stay perfectly still for about 20 seconds. Given that the machines make a racket and dogs seldom stay still while awake, it was a challenge.
The book is the story of how Berns and his research team designed their project, how they trained Callie and other dogs to cooperate, where they succeeded and where they didn’t.
At the same time, it is the story of the Berns family’s love of their dogs and of the beneficial effect that the research project had on the author’s underachieving middle-school daughter.
For dog lovers, there are a number of ah-hah moments, the times when a new method succeeds in moving the research forward. (We might all learn a thing or two about training our dogs.) The book also serves as an illustration of how scientists conduct neuroscience research.
Even at just under eight hours, the book seems a little long. There’s a lot of stuff that a stronger editor would have condensed. And the narrator’s performance is grating at time, mostly when mimicking the silly dog talk Berns used on Callie. (OK, I talk the same way to Dexter, but no one hears me while stuck in D.C. traffic.)
As for the central question of the book, you shouldn’t have to ask. Of course they love us. You just have to read the book to learn how and why. | <urn:uuid:59a4160f-35c4-4479-aaf5-cc857b1ae1a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://lindabrinson.com/?p=1870 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.954662 | 645 | 1.765625 | 2 |
Decisions are never perfect, with confidence in one’s choices fluctuating over time. How subjective confidence and valuation of choice options interact at the level of brain and behavior is unknown. Using a dynamic model of the decision process, we show that confidence reflects the evolution of a decision variable over time, explaining the observed relation between confidence, value, accuracy and reaction time. As predicted by our dynamic model, we show that a functional magnetic resonance imaging signal in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) reflects both value comparison and confidence in the value comparison process. Crucially, individuals varied in how they related confidence to accuracy, allowing us to show that this introspective ability is predicted by a measure of functional connectivity between vmPFC and rostrolateral prefrontal cortex. Our findings provide a mechanistic link between noise in value comparison and metacognitive awareness of choice, enabling us both to want and to express knowledge of what we want. | <urn:uuid:443f87ac-ce93-4c13-a0d1-c858d0751c21> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://research-portal.uea.ac.uk/en/publications/confidence-in-value-based-choice | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571982.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813172349-20220813202349-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.905856 | 194 | 2.140625 | 2 |
The ABA Method for Autism
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a great impact on family dynamics. Parents of children with this condition are often confused and disoriented, especially in the early years of their children’s lives. They don’t always have sufficient and clear information and may even find themselves faced with a bombardment of the techniques, methods, and treatments available to choose from. The ABA method has scientific backing and has given good results in autism, although it also has its detractors. Therefore, we want to tell you all about it so that you can draw your own conclusions.
It’s worth mentioning that it’s an intensive program with a therapeutic load of 20 to 40 hours per week. This implies a cost that makes it inaccessible for many people. Even so, its methods and procedures can be used without necessarily carrying out the complete intervention.
Preferably, the ABA method should be applied in young children, as better results can be obtained when it’s started at an early age. If you want to know more, keep reading!
What is the ABA method?
The ABA method is a therapeutic intervention program for certain neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders, as well as intellectual disabilities. Its acronym stands for Applied Behavior Analysis.
It’s based on procedures aimed at modifying behavior, which can be very varied. The objective is to observe, describe, and predict the child’s behavior in order to replace non-functional aspects with more adaptive ones.
In this way, disruptive behaviors and learning difficulties are addressed. Even new skills are taught to facilitate the development and autonomy of children with autism.
However, the ABA method presents some distinctive and particular characteristics:
- It’s a personalized and individualized treatment, which focuses on the specific needs of each child.
- It’s based mainly on repetition and the use of positive reinforcement.
- Supports are offered during the intervention and are gradually withdrawn.
- A daily record of the child’s progress is kept, which is very useful for parents, teachers, and therapists.
- It’s a very structured program in which small achievable goals are established for the child, which progressively increase in difficulty.
- It seeks to offer the child all the necessary help to succeed in the task or skill to be developed. Therefore, frustration is avoided and motivation is increased, in addition to increasing personal safety.
What does the ABA method for autism work on?
The ABA method employs various techniques, tools, and procedures that have solid scientific support. Therefore, it’s applied to different areas of the child’s daily life and seeks to offer a comprehensive treatment that includes all the usual environments. It’s common to start at home, but soon, the skills learned are generalized to other contexts.
Among the main areas of application are the following:
- Cognitive skills: Those functions that allow the relationship with the environment and learning, such as attention, memory, or abstract thinking.
- Academic skills: Related to the ability to learn and to succeed in school. They range from time planning to study skills.
- Social skills: Help the child to relate and communicate with others, both verbally and non-verbally (e.g., working on eye contact).
- Fine and gross psychomotor skills.
- Self-care: Teaches personal hygiene routines or eating habits, among others.
- Household chores: Autonomy and collaboration in household tasks, such as sweeping, setting the table, or making the bed, are facilitated.
- Impulse control: The relationship between stimuli and reactions is observed in order to control behavior.
The ABA method and its detractors
Although this program has proven to be effective and many families attest to its positive results, more and more patients and professionals are showing their reluctance about it. First of all, the method is criticized for excessive repetition and the wear and tear it can generate in children.
It’s also considered not very respectful of the patient’s own essence. As the objective is to modify behavior, the real source of the problem may not be addressed. For example, if the child’s disruptive behavior is due to their high sensitivity, there’s no point in addressing the behavioral level if the sensory aspect isn’t addressed. Somehow, it seems that the aim is to make these children behave in a neurotypical way, instead of respecting their neurodiversity.
In short, this is one of the therapeutic alternatives available for autism that has been shown to offer good results, but it may not be the most appropriate option for all families. Be well informed and look for the most appropriate approach for your child.It might interest you... | <urn:uuid:42ffbf62-d469-439a-9aea-b5401cc48a3b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://youaremom.com/children/what-should-you-know/the-aba-method-for-autism/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.953246 | 981 | 3.5 | 4 |
Deep Tissue Massage
Reduce Muscular Tension and Restructure
Deep-Tissue Massage is a full body massage concentrating on deeper seated, and often more long-term, chronic problems of the soft tissue, such as static and postural muscles. The treatment is generally stronger starting superficially and working deep, using long gliding strokes and slow stretching techniques, to work into the muscles and tissues, which makes it deeply relaxing.
Patients typically describe this as “good pain” and the results often produce longer lasting relief of pain and discomfort. Relieves muscular tension and painful trigger points as well as boosting circulation. Also effective in relieving osteoarthritis pain and fibromyalgia pain.
Why have it
Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles. It is used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Deep Tissue Massage can provide a foundation for good health. This is achieved by realigning body segments whilst releasing chronic muscular stress and tension. It can be a very different style of massage when compared with the more usual Remedial massage. Deep Tissue massage aims to reshape the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles (whereas Remedial massage mainly concentrates on relieving the stresses within the muscles).
The process of Deep Tissue Massage aims to restructure the muscular system by re-positioning muscles, tendons and ligaments that may have become bunched and shortened. By realigning the body, habitual patterns of tension and stress accumulated by today’s lifestyle may be released. In addition to improved posture, other benefits include pain relief, increased energy and an improved sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

Understanding asana: Origin and purpose
The modern styles of yoga are mainly divided into - dynamic style and static style.
- Asana being the most popular limb of yoga is the most misunderstood.
- Yoga sutras, give 3 out of 196 sutras to explain the purpose of the asana sadhana.
- Asana is exclusively unique from all the other physical practices that you can think of.
If you consider the International day of yoga is all about celebrating your achievements on the mat, think again. If you consider yoga to be about how well you perform an asana, then give it one more thought.
Imagine that one day, decades later, when you grow old and you are unable to practice the asanas that you love with the same rigour that you do today, will you still be as happy as you are now? Does your blissful state in yoga depend on your ability to achieve a pose?
With all the effort, dedication and determination that you have put in, is your asana practice attaching your happiness solely to your mat work?
Hype around the asana practice
Today, those who knock on the door of yoga can choose a style from an array which best suits them. However, asana being the most popular limb of yoga is the most misunderstood. Asana as a practice is conspicuous. Most often the colloquial use of the word 'yoga' is interchangeably construed in the context of an 'asana' practice. Asana has now become the face of yoga, perhaps of its accessibility.
What might be surprising is that there are many forms of yoga that do not include an elaborate asana practice. Though asana as a practice is very much a limb in the ashtanga yoga as categorised by Maharshi Patanjali, it is extensively explored in Hatha yoga, a branch of yoga that broadly delves into asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha.
The modern styles of yoga are mainly divided into - dynamic style and static style. While the static style mainly includes Hatha, Iyengar, Kundalini, and others, the dynamic styles include Ashtanga Vinyasa, Viniyoga, Vinyasa Flow and more such contemporary approaches.
Between all the hype around the asana practice, one also tends to get trapped in the progression from a beginner, intermediate and advanced levels for decades without realising the fundamental purpose of the asana sadhana (practice).
Purpose of asana sadhana
The discovery of the abundant wealth buried inside the body begins with asana practice and Maharshi Patanjali calls this wealth as– Kaya Sampat. In his yoga sutras, an earliest of the text on yoga philosophy he gives 3 out of 196 sutras to explain the purpose of the asana sadhana. Less than a per cent for this pivotal limb, kind of helps us put in perspective, not just the scope of an asana practice but also the vastness of the yogic wisdom that can be pursued.
The three sutras that talk about the asana sadhana are:
1. Sthirasukhamasanam (PYS 2.46)- Motionlessness and comfort are the dual qualities of an asana. Motionlessness with alertness implies stability, commitment and strength. Comfort implies calm and ease. Motionlessness without effortlessness can create tension and tightness. Effortlessness without alertness can bring about lethargy and heaviness. So, these are the two key aspects that have to be balanced in every asana.
2. Prayatnashaitilya anantasamapattibhyam (PYS 2.47) - Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached. This sutra is crucial for understanding the intention of an asana practice. The question that sprouts from this sutra is how do we advance in our practice without effort? What Patanjali indicates by effortlessness is to perform an asana without causing fatigue or creating tension. As effort causes resistance, resistance brings about tension and tension constricts our cells and tissues. Constriction further stiffens our connective tissues that affect the overall elasticity of our body. Effortlessness is possible only by engaging the diaphragmatic breathing which accelerates the healing process as well.
3. Tato dvandva anabhighatah (PYS 2.48) - From then on the practitioner is undisturbed by dualities. The claim here is interesting as to how he does not define mastery in an asana with respect to what our bodies can or cannot do instead, it is our ability to approach our lives' ups and downs with absolute grace. This one claim, in particular, makes asana exclusively unique from all the other physical practices that you can think of. Anyone, with any body type or physical ability, can perform the fancy asanas but the effortlessness that comes through long-term abhyasa (practice) is an internal process
Asanas are a supporting pillar
Keeping three sutras to explain on asanas, Maharshi Patanjali shares no details about the postures in the Yoga Sutras. He does not find it relevant to list them, as the crucial element here is not how many asanas or which asana, but to use asana as a stepping stone to train the body for the greater goal of stilling the modifications of the mind by getting rid of the Klesas (ignorance, ego, attachment, resentment towards pain, clinging to life or fear of death).
However, Vyasa the most respected commentator on the sutras has included the most important postures in his commentary, the Yoga-Bhashya - Discussion on Yoga.
The poses that he mentions are: Padmāsana, Virāsana, Bhadrāsana, Svastikāsana, Dandāsana, Sopāśraya, Paryanka, Krauñca-nisadana, Hasti-nisadana, Ustra-nisadana and Sama-samsthāna.
Thus, the yoga sutras are evidently about Raja yoga, the royal path emphasising on the regulation of the thought waves, and asanas act as a supporting pillar in preparation.
In fact, the very word asana means 'seat', literally referring to a sitting posture suggesting the original purpose of the asana practice is to support the physical body for the higher practices of dharana, dhyana and samadhi.
So, if the earliest text on yoga does not list all the asanas that we practice today, then to whom do we owe it? Where did all the asanas emerge from?

Ecumenical Meeting, Throne Hall of the Archbishop's House of Prague
Pope Benedict XVI
Throne Hall of the Archbishop's House of Prague
Sunday, 27 September 2009
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am grateful to Almighty God for the opportunity to meet with you who are here representing the various Christian communities of this land. I thank Doctor Černý, President of the Ecumenical Council of Churches in the Czech Republic, for the kind words of welcome which he has addressed to me on your behalf.
My dear friends, Europe continues to undergo many changes. It is hard to believe that only two decades have passed since the collapse of former regimes gave way to a difficult but productive transition towards more participatory political structures. During this period, Christians joined together with others of good will in helping to rebuild a just political order, and they continue to engage in dialogue today in order to pave new ways towards mutual understanding, cooperation for peace and the advancement of the common good.
Nevertheless, attempts to marginalize the influence of Christianity upon public life – sometimes under the pretext that its teachings are detrimental to the well-being of society – are emerging in new forms. This phenomenon gives us pause to reflect. As I suggested in my Encyclical on Christian hope, the artificial separation of the Gospel from intellectual and public life should prompt us to engage in a mutual “self-critique of modernity” and “self-critique of modern Christianity,” specifically with regard to the hope each of them can offer mankind (cf. Spe Salvi, 22). We may ask ourselves, what does the Gospel have to say to the Czech Republic and indeed all of Europe today in a period marked by proliferating world views?
Christianity has much to offer on the practical and ethical level, for the Gospel never ceases to inspire men and women to place themselves at the service of their brothers and sisters. Few would dispute this. Yet those who fix their gaze upon Jesus of Nazareth with eyes of faith know that God offers a deeper reality which is nonetheless inseparable from the “economy” of charity at work in this world (cf. Caritas in Veritate, 2): He offers salvation.
The term is replete with connotations, yet it expresses something fundamental and universal about the human yearning for well-being and wholeness. It alludes to the ardent desire for reconciliation and communion that wells up spontaneously in the depths of the human spirit. It is the central truth of the Gospel and the goal to which every effort of evangelization and pastoral care is directed. And it is the criterion to which Christians constantly redirect their focus as they endeavour to heal the wounds of past divisions. To this end – as Doctor Černý has noted – the Holy See was pleased to host an International Symposium in 1999 on Jan Hus to facilitate a discussion of the complex and turbulent religious history in this country and in Europe more generally (cf. Pope John Paul II, Address to the International Symposium on John Hus, 1999). I pray that such ecumenical initiatives will yield fruit not only in the pursuit of Christian unity, but for the good of all European society.
We take confidence in knowing that the Church’s proclamation of salvation in Christ Jesus is ever ancient and ever new, steeped in the wisdom of the past and brimming with hope for the future. As Europe listens to the story of Christianity, she hears her own. Her notions of justice, freedom and social responsibility, together with the cultural and legal institutions established to preserve these ideas and hand them on to future generations, are shaped by her Christian inheritance. Indeed, her memory of the past animates her aspirations for the future.
This is why, in fact, Christians draw upon the example of figures such as Saint Adalbert and Saint Agnes of Bohemia. Their commitment to spreading the Gospel was motivated by the conviction that Christians should not cower in fear of the world but rather confidently share the treasury of truths entrusted to them. Likewise Christians today, opening themselves to present realities and affirming all that is good in society, must have the courage to invite men and women to the radical conversion that ensues upon an encounter with Christ and ushers in a new life of grace.
From this perspective, we understand more clearly why Christians are obliged to join others in reminding Europe of her roots. It is not because these roots have long since withered. On the contrary! It is because they continue – in subtle but nonetheless fruitful ways – to supply the continent with the spiritual and moral sustenance that allows her to enter into meaningful dialogue with people from other cultures and religions. Precisely because the Gospel is not an ideology, it does not presume to lock evolving socio-political realities into rigid schemas. Rather, it transcends the vicissitudes of this world and casts new light on the dignity of the human person in every age. Dear friends, let us ask the Lord to implant within us a spirit of courage to share the timeless saving truths which have shaped, and will continue to shape, the social and cultural progress of this continent.
The salvation wrought by Jesus’s suffering, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven not only transforms us who believe in him, but urges us to share this Good News with others. Enlightened by the Spirit’s gifts of knowledge, wisdom and understanding (cf. Is 11:1-2; Ex 35:31), may our capacity to grasp the truth taught by Jesus Christ impel us to work tirelessly for the unity he desires for all his children reborn through Baptism, and indeed for the whole human race.
With these sentiments, and with fraternal affection for you and the members of your respective communities, I express my deep thanks to you and commend you to Almighty God, who is our fortress, our stronghold and our deliverer (cf. Ps 144:2). Amen. | <urn:uuid:69581c68-1544-484a-9c8d-daf4af0f0ca8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/ecumenical-meeting-6511 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.946933 | 1,222 | 1.507813 | 2 |

Japan's Princess Takamado was seen by a Reuters witness in the Russian city of Saransk, where she will watch her national team compete in the football World Cup later on Tuesday.
She is the first member of Japan's royal family to visit Russia since 1916, the Kyodo news agency reported.
Relations between Moscow and Tokyo are currently strained over the roll-out of a U.S. missile system and Moscow's move this year to deploy warplanes to a group of disputed islands north of Japan.
The dispute over the islands, which were seized by Soviet forces at the end of World War II, is so acrimonious that Moscow and Tokyo have not yet signed a peace treaty to mark the end of the war.
The princess, the widow of a cousin of Emperor Akihito, has no plans to meet with Russian dignitaries, Kyodo said, but will watch the Japanese football team take on Colombia and Senegal in the Russian cities of Saransk and Ekaterinburg. | <urn:uuid:5c00bd6f-d66c-4952-89ff-1cfbff3c2365> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2018/06/19/japan-princess-first-royal-family-visit-to-russia-in-a-century-a61891 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.969185 | 204 | 1.710938 | 2 |

Eagle Flight and Other Myths
Eagles Don’t Eat Children or Pets
Every few years a story makes the rounds about a bald eagle carrying off a dog or trying to snatch someone’s cat. Biologists who study birds of prey and folks who live around eagles have seen plenty snatching and carrying – as well as swooping and swimming – and they offered insights into what eagles really can and cannot do.
Bald eagles are strong, aggressive birds but like everything that flies they are governed by aerodynamics. The wings of an eagle need to support the eight to 12-pound bird as well as whatever the bird is carrying, and best estimates put the lifting power of an eagle at four or five pounds. But it’s not quite that simple.
Lift is dependent not only on wing size, but on airspeed. The faster a bird (or plane) is flying, the greater the lift potential. An eagle that lands on the beach to grab a fish, and then takes off again, is limited to a smaller load than an eagle that swoops down at 20 or 30 miles an hour and snatches up a fish. That momentum and speed gives the bird the ability to carry more weight.
Biologist Ron Clarke earned his masters degree studying birds of prey, and he’s a falconer who trains raptors. He hunts with a gyrfalcon and a peregrine falcon, and said his 45-ounce gyr can carry an 8-ounce bufflehead duck pretty easily. “He can't do the same with a mallard, though,” he said. At about two pounds, a mallard is four times the weight of a bufflehead.
Clarke said an eagle with momentum is a different story.
“On a wide-open beach, I have no doubt that an eagle with a full head of steam could pick up a six- or eight-pound dog and just keep on going,” Clarke said. “If it landed to kill a ten-pounder, and then tried to pick up and fly from a dead stop, could it get off the ground? Probably not.”
Eagles will carry heavier loads a short distance. Mike Jacobson spent decades as an eagle management specialist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and recently retired.
“There used to be stories about eagles carrying off babies and little kids, and none of that has ever been documented,” he said. “They can pick up and carry four or five pounds, maximum, and actually fly off with it. They can lift a little more and hop it along, but they can’t carry it off.”
Flying may be an eagle’s birthright, but it requires skill. Falconers and birdwatchers can attest that swooping down to nab dinner, or snatching food off the water, requires techniques that are honed with experience. Young predators develop their hunting skills by trial and error, play, and testing limits. Young eagles will swoop on floating bottles, attempt to lift salmon that are too heavy, and investigate new objects.
Jacobson said an immature eagle is most likely to swoop down on something inappropriate, like a large dog on the beach. People then overreact and claim that eagles are hunting dogs. “It gets exaggerated” he said. “Eagles don’t hunt cats and small dogs.”
The vast majority of eagles’ diet in Southeast is fish. Jacobson said in other areas the diet varies more, as eagles take advantage of local opportunities. Eagles that live near seabird colonies will eat more birds, and eagles in the Interior take more birds and small mammals than eagles in Southeast. Jacobson once saw an eagle carrying a mink and he’s heard stories of eagles carrying small muskrats. Eagles in the Aleutians are known to prey on sea otter pups during pupping season. But fish is the bald eagles’ bread and butter.
Other eagles are a different. Jacobson said golden eagles are very comparable in size and weight to bald eagles, but they target different prey. “Golden eagles are not bigger or stronger, but they have very different behavior,” he said.
Although bald eagles don’t actively target cats, Jacobson has heard a few stories that seemed plausible. A small cat is certainly within an eagle’s abilities. “Eagles have occasionally nailed people’s cats,” he said. “It’s rare, but people do see them swoop down on cats sometimes.”
David Hunsaker once found a cat collar in an eagle nest. The nest is right outside the window of his Tee Harbor home, and he’s done a great deal of eagle watching over the past dozen years. He and his wife watched a pair of eagles build the nest, and they’ve seen eagles incubate eggs, deliver food and raise a number of broods of chicks. They’ve watched the chicks grow and fledge.
“The cat collar was funny,” he said. “It had a bell attached to warn birds. It was still buckled.”
Hunsaker added that the collar doesn’t necessarily prove the eagles carried a cat to the nest. Also in the nest was a child’s rattle toy. “I envision that rattle clutched in a chubby fist, but it’s not likely the eagles caught a child.”
It’s also possible the cat was a scavenged roadkill. He’s seen fur in the nest a few times, and a few bloody birds, but said the eagles are almost exclusively fish eaters.
“The majority are herring or smelt, small fish about eight inches long,” he said. He’s seen plenty of salmon delivered to the nest, usually in pieces. “They’ll bring half a salmon, usually a pink, then take off and come back with what appears to be the other half. So they dismember it somewhere. I’ve never seen them bring a full coho or sockeye, but pieces.”
Hunsaker doubts the accounts of eagles taking small dogs not because they couldn’t carry it, but because in his observations, eagles are very wary of people. Although the nest is near the house, the birds don’t roost on the peak of the house, the deck or nearby power poles. “They are really skittish around people,” he said. “They are not going to snatch a dog off a leash, or right in front of the owner.”
Biologist Phil Schempf works for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in raptor and migratory bird management. He has no doubt an eagle could kill a small dog or cat if the opportunity presented itself, and carry it or at least pieces of it to a nest. “My feeling is that it doesn't happen very often though,” he wrote in an e-mail. “I'd speculate that is due to eagles being leery of approaching people or foraging in novel areas such as people's yards. Eagles typically are foraging along beaches or riparian areas where it is rare for dogs and cats to be unattended by their owners.”
An eagle is sometimes spotted in the water, talons latched on a heavy salmon, laboriously rowing to shore with its wings. It’s a clumsy swimming style, but it works. It’s said that the eagle can’t let go, that the talons somehow lock on to the fish. That’s not true. There is no involuntary locking mechanism, and the eagle could let go if it wished. The hungry bird has simply decided the meal is worth the swim.
Jacobson said that over the years there have been a number of observations of eagles grabbing fish and getting pulled underwater. He said it’s not because they can’t release their talons, “They can let go,” he said.
“It’s common for them to get a hold of a fish that’s too heavy to fly with…they can’t take off but they can tow it to shore, rowing with their wings. They’re pretty good swimmers. They have thick down so they float pretty well. Occasionally they’ll drown if they’re too far from shore.”
State wildlife biologist Rich Lowell of Petersburg said it’s not unusual for eagles to end up in the water. His office next door to a fish processing plant overlooks the water and he’s seen an eagle intentionally land on the water to pick up fish scraps discarded by the workers. He said contrary to popular belief, an eagle can take off from the surface of the water as long as it does not sit there too long and get its wings wet. He added that while eagles can certainly lock on with their talons, it is a purely voluntary action and they can release at will.

Basic Composition Of Lecithin
Published on Aug. 15, 2019
Here is a Soya Lecithin Powder Manufacturer talking about basic composition of lecithin.
If you need any information about Lecithin Liquid, feel free to contact us.
At present, the main sources of our edible phospholipids are soybean phospholipids and egg yolk phospholipids. What is the difference between these two phospholipids? In addition, lecithin is contained in milk, animal brain, bone marrow, heart, lung, liver, kidney, and soybean and yeast. Lecithin binds to proteins in the body and exists in the form of fatty proteins (lipoproteins). Therefore, lecithin exists in nature in a rich posture. If you can eat enough kinds of food, you don't have to worry about the lack of problems. There is also no need to supplement the lecithin supplements.
The so-called phospholipids generally refer to soybean phospholipids, mainly composed of soybean phospholipids, and contain neutral oils and other non-phospholipid components such as pigments, sugars, galactosides, and cerebrosides. Phospholipids are a general term for a class of lipids containing a variety of phosphorus-containing components. Soy lecithin or soy lecithin contains lecithin, cephalin, cardiolipin, phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), plasmalogen, hemolysis Phospholipids. Its various nutrients are of great benefit to the human body, and its cost and price are low. Therefore, most of the products sold on the market are soy lecithin.
We also have Non GMO Lecithin.

From a leading authority in artificial intelligence, this book delivers a synthesis of the major modern techniques and the most current research in natural language processing. The approach is unique in its coverage of semantic interpretation and discourse alongside the foundational material in syntactic processing.
Original and penetrating, this book investigates of the notion of inference from signs, which played a central role in ancient philosophical and scientific method. It examines an important chapter in ancient epistemology: the debates about the nature of evidence and of the inferences based on it--or signs and sign-inferences as they were called in antiquity. As the first comprehensive treatment of this topic, it fills an important gap in the histories of science and philosophy.
Developments in the Academy from the time of Arcesilaus to that of Carneades and his successors tend to be classified under two heads: scepticism and probabilism. Carneades was principally responsible for the Academy's view of the latter subject, and our sources credit him with an elaborate discussion of it. The evidence furnished by those sources is, however, frequently confusing and sometimes self-contradictory. My aim in this paper is to extract a coherent account of Carneades' theory of probability from the testimony (...) with a further end in view, namely to understand better the uses to which that theory was put by the Academy in its debate with the Stoa. Though it is not its principal object, the investigation should also help make clear how the Academy's scepticism and its probabilism were related to each other as parts of a single consistent practice of philosophy.

The articles examines how failure, especially in so-called 'stochastic' arts or sciences like medicine and navigation stimulated reflections about the nature of the knowledge required of a genuine art (techne) or science.
A dispute in the form of rival interpretations of Carneades arose in the New Academy about whether the wise person is permitted to form opinions. One party rejected opinion; the other defended it. Because the terms enjoy a certain currency, the positions are here labelled ‘radical’ and ‘moderate’ respectively. This essay tackles the question whether and how they differed. It argues that the disagreement was less about human epistemic capacities than about the standards and aspirations against which they should be (...) measured and that Cicero, our principal source, was a consistent adherent of the ‘radical’ party.

Thousands of texts discuss Egytpain cosmology and cosmogony. James Allen has selected sixteen to translate and discuss in order to shed light on one of the questions that clearly preoccupied ancient intellectuals; the origins of the world.
Community supported agriculture programs are transforming the way people relate to food and agriculture. Many researchers have considered the transformative potential of CSAs on economic, social, and environmental relations. They illustrate how participants are embedded in broader political economic transformations. The same focus, however, has not been given to CSAs’ transformative impact on individual shareholders—especially in terms of their relationship to food and health. We draw together literatures from behavioral economics, econometrics, and political ecology to evaluate the potential impacts of (...) CSA participation on food lifestyle behaviors. Using primary data drawn from a survey of four groups with distinct food acquisition environments, we compare respondents’ self-assessed food-related behaviors along three different categories: produce versus processed food consumption, food away from home consumption, and food acquisition and interest in nutrition. By documenting between-group differences, we confirm that shareholders display significant absolute differences to other groups along numerous indicators related to the above-stated categories and in general assessments of health. These differences correspond directionally to behaviors public health officials identify as correlated to beneficial health outcomes. We conclude by theorizing how the food environments delineated by a CSA exchange relationship provide unique reflexive opportunities for participants to develop diverse food-related skills and behaviors.

David Bronstein’s book tackles Aristotle’s account, as presented in the Posterior Analytics, of knowledge, or rather a privileged form of it, ‘scientific knowledge’ or ‘understanding.’ We know in this way by grasping arguments of a certain kind, demonstrations, for which reason Aristotle devotes much of his attention in the Posterior Analytics to demonstrative argument. The subject is as important as anything in Aristotle, and it presents challenges as difficult as any confronting his interpreters elsewhere, which Bronstein’s book tackles skillfully and (...) to illuminating effect. The book is especially noteworthy for the high degree of systematic unity it attributes to the Posterior Analytics. The solutions... (shrink)
2018 Reprint of the 1913 Edition. As a Man Thinketh was first published in 1903. In it, Allen describes how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the thoughts which he thinks. We rise and fall in exact accordance with the character of the thoughts which we entertain. Our environment is the result of the thoughts that we harbor and the behavior that our thoughts bring about. Part of the New Thought Movement, Allen reveals the secrets to (...) having the most fulfilling existence possible, guided by a proper understanding and appreciate of how thought shapes our lives. Allen advises on how to better manage our thoughts and how to direct them into more constructive behavior. Though written more than one hundred years ago, the language and resonance of this classic still hold up today, inviting each of us to reflect not on the world and others, but our own thoughts and how to regain their possession. The title for the essay comes from the Bible: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7. In more than a century, As A Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic, selling millions of copies worldwide and bringing faith, inspiration, and self- healing to all who have encountered it.

Along the highways of Burma there is placed, at regular distances away from the dust of the road, and under the cool shade of a group of trees, a small wooden building called a "rest-house", where the weary traveller may rest a while, and allay his thirst and assuage his hunger and fatigue by partaking of the food and water which the kindly inhabitants place there as a religious duty.Along the great highway of life there are such resting places; away (...) from the heat of passion and the dust of disappointment, under the cool and refreshing shade of lowly Wisdom, are the humble, unimposing "rest-houses" of peace, and the little, almost unnoticed, byways of blessedness, where alone the weary and footsore can find strength and healing.Nor can these byways be ignored without suffering. Along the great road of life, hurrying, and eager to reach some illusive goal, presses the multitude, despising the apparently insignificant "rest-houses" of true thought, not heeding the narrow little byways of blessed action, which they regard as unimportant; and hour by hour men are fainting and falling, and numbers that cannot be counted perish of heart-hunger, heart-thirst, and heart-fatigue.But he who will step aside from the passionate press, and will deign to notice and to enter the byways which are here presented, his dusty feet shall press the incomparable flowers of blessedness, his eyes be gladdened with their beauty, and his mind refreshed with their sweet perfume. Rested and sustained, he will escape the fever and the delirium of life, and, strong and happy, he will not fall fainting in the dust, nor perish by the way, but will successfully accomplish his journey.James Allen.

Excerpt from From Passion to Peace or the Pathway of the Pure The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy; the last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, present the Divine Life - calm, wise, and beautiful - of the sage and Saviour. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, (...) denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live. This world can be found and entered, and the way to it is by self-control and moral excellence. It is the world of the perfect life, and it rightly belongs to man, who is not complete until crowned with perfection. The perfect life is not the (...) far-away, impossible thing that men who are in darkness imagine it to be; it is supremely possible, and very near and real.

"The discovery of the law of Evolution in the material world has prepared men for a knowledge of the law of cause and effect in the mental world.... In the realm of thought and deed, the good survives, for it is ''fittest;'' the evil ultimately perishes. To know that the ''perfect law'' of Causation is as all-embracing in mind as in matter, is to be relieved from all anxiety concerning the ultimate destiny of individuals and of humanity-''For man is man (...) and master of his fate'' and the will in man which is conquering the knowledge of natural law will conquer the knowledge of spiritual law....

We apply the author's computational approach to groups to our empirical work studying and modelling riots. We suggest that assigning roles in particular gives insight, and measuring the frequency of bystander behaviour provides a method to understand the dynamic nature of intergroup conflict, allowing social identity to be incorporated into models of riots.
Jacques Brunschwig’s collection of papers, Études sur les philosophies Hellénistiques: Epicurisme, stoïcisme, Scepticisme follows close on the heels of his similar, though not identical, Papers in Hellenistic Philosophy. It performs the same valuable service for Francophone readers that was performed for Anglophone readers by the English volume: it makes available for the first time in French articles that originally appeared in English along with a selection of pieces first published in French. The only serious complaint I can imagine against either (...) volume concerns the decision to exclude certain pieces from each. Yet one should not be greedy; this is a splendid collection which gives ample cause for gratitude as it is. (shrink)
R. G.
