A battery bank re-loader is really a device normally helpful to revitalise a currently incurred power or put power back in a previously energy depleted 2nd electric battery. Several home cars and trucks and technology can operated with battery packs or steer plaque created by sugar. Various sorts of electric battery are utilized, a variety of them tend to be more useful as opposed to others, when other battery power are more expensive to interchange.
One type of battery power would be the lithium ion battery, which includes numberous perk in excess of other sorts of batteries which include to be able to be recharged very easily and remain charged long enough to perform numerous portable electronic devices. A different sort of battery pack may be the dime material hydride battery pack which can hold a charge for a long time than other kinds of power packs. Compared with direct acid solution.
Most lithium ion batteries has decided to reduce their cost if they are remaining in a vehicle for the long term time period or utilized in a machine which should be frequently plugged in being energetic, the penny metal hydride battery power is additionally accepted as a green alternative considering that the pursue conduit these batteries does not consist of unsafe chemicals. If eventually left in the vehicle, a battery bank charger can boost a dead power supply, letting the automobile to jog once again.
Another kind of electric battery is chargeable cause acid energy. Normal rechargeable head p battery packs are produced with cause that could be easily extracted from drinking water. These battery packs can be purchased in either closed and start solar cells. Probably the most typical uses of regular lead plaque created by sugar power packs are for home electrical power safe-keeping, medical photo and several auto programs.
There are several disadvantages to regular battery power and one of these is that they need to be looked after just after getting. An excellent replenisher will make use of an inside wall charger that allows you to fee the battery pack with electric power presented through the wall outlet then release the saved demand when you find yourself pre-made it again. This enables you to retail store ask for to be utilized afterwards with no be concerned of any battery pack remaining energy depleted.
Another thing that you detect while utilizing your normal rechargeable steer chemical p power packs could be the slow decrease of charge. Of course this feels like a bad, bear in mind batteries are created to last a lifetime and will work even after they have been completely dropped. Quite often they will give you at the least a couple of time of continuous use ahead of seeking a charge. They will not operate.
In choosing a rechargeable head p energy, make certain that the producer recommends utilizing a superior brand name and a re-loader that’s been that can do the job, when you have used your batteries a long time. Most brands focus on don’t use anything except with lithium ion battery power and they can not help cause chemical p or nickel metallic hydride energy.
Re-chargeable head acid solution batteries also come in several kinds which they can use in virtually every make and model of car or truck. These are most common type of battery pack utilised these days and a lot of motorists will transport normal rechargeable power packs in their car.
Don’t ever try to impose direct plaque created by sugar power packs by yourself. If you are not acquainted with the various components involved.
For people folks that tend to keep their rechargeable direct p electric batteries, make sure that you store them from any flame, which include overcharging and undercharging, even though this is an easy process, it is usually harmful. Warmth may cause the lead ions to be sold in to the fruit juice electrolyte which often can most likely damage the electrolyte. Ensure that electric battery is trapped in a very nice put, away from the sunshine and also you certainly not try and impose them when browsing a hot area.
Will not store a cell close to any fluid, gas or any situation that could customize the electrolyte, such as a decline of propane. This will dramatically combine ions inside electrolyte.
For those who have went out and obtain a chargeable lead acidity battery, ensure you have an idea of which type you will end up obtaining to get the most effective charger probable. Hunt for one that is accredited to cost the specific type of electric battery you wish to charge.

Cullen v. Pinholster, 563 U. S. ____ (2011), No. 09–1088.
Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney in Boulder, Colorado explains Death Penalty Law relating to Habeas Corpus, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA), and Ineffective Assistance of Counsel.
Facts: A jury in the State of California convicted Mr. Pinholster of murder where he and his cohorts robbed and killed a drug dealer. After the trial on the merits (and the subsequent conviction that resulted), the prosecution sought and the jury imposed the death penalty for Mr. Pinholster. However, three weeks prior to the sentencing phase trial, the sentencing attorney sought and obtained an evaluation from a doctor who found that Mr. Pinholster suffered only anti-social personality disorder and no other mental illness. The attorney did not provide the doctor with documentation of the years of abuse Mr. Pinholster suffered since he was a small child. Further, seemingly the doctor did not know the young Mr. Pinholster was in and out of institutions until he was 10 as a result of mental health issues. From age 10 on, Mr. Pinholster had been institutionalized – first in a mental hospital and then when they folded their hands and gave up, the state conjured up some juvenile charges, and the boy then was incarcerated in the juvenile prison system in California. According to his brother, Mr. Pinholster hardly had anytime, since age 10, outside an institution. None of this was brought to the jury’s attention. The sentencing phase lawyer only called Mr. Pinholster’s mother who did him no favors – she minimized his abuse and the institutional periods, and claimed all her kids were good kids. According to Justice Sotomayor, the mother did not testify as a defense of her children, but as a defense to her poor parenting skills. Thus, not surprisingly, the jury sentenced Mr. Pinholster to death.
At the 35(c) hearing in state court (examining the (in)effectiveness of trial counsel as well whether the obtained conviction was (un)constitutional), the attorneys did not show all the evidence that the Federal District Court heard at a habeas corpus hearing. At the hearing in federal court Mr. Pinholster’s attorneys called additional experts to refute the original doctor who found Mr. Pinholster suffered only antisocial personality disorder. The state claimed the Federal District Court could only base its decision on the evidence heard in the state proceeding.
Issue One: Under the AEDPA rules constricting habeas proceedings, whether the Federal District Court is limited to only the record from the state post-conviction proceeding?
Reasoning: The U.S. Supreme Court, with Justice Thomas writing for the majority, held that the rules governing habeas relief limit the Federal court. The rules state the court may overturn a post-conviction finding if the lower court finding:
(1) resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States; or
(2) resulted in a decision that was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding.
Thus, the Court held this limits the Federal court solely to the record of the state court proceeding. Interestingly, Justice Alito dissented from this portion of the Court’s holding.
Issue Two: Based upon the record in the state court, whether Mr. Pinholster received ineffective assistance of counsel?
Reasoning: The Court simply ignored evidenced that most likely would have saved Mr. Pinholster’s life – evidence his lawyers failed to present to the jury. In doing so, the Court was able to find Mr. Pinholster’s original trial lawyers effective in their representation of him at trial. Further, the Court found that, even assuming Mr. Pinholster’s lawyers were ineffective, the Court nevertheless held that such ineffectiveness did not prejudice Mr. Pinholster. Put simply, the Court reweighed the same evidence presented to the jury, ignored the other evidence presented in Federal Court, and found that the jury would not have granted Mr. Pinholster mercy. Justice Sotomayor wrote the dissent, and scathingly and convincingly argued for a new sentencing trial.

Lung cancer is the main cause of death from cancer. As for other malignant tumors, the age-associated incidence rate increases with age reaching a peak towards 70 years. No guidelines are available for the elderly. Surgery remains the election therapy for non small cell lung cancer apart from the presence of major contraindications. In inoperable cases for the general condition or patient refusal, radiotherapy represents an effective alternative. In advanced stages radiotherapy alone finds its indication even if outcomes are disappointing. The introduction in the clinical practice of active well-tolerated drugs as vinorelbine and gemcitabine affords new therapeutic perspectives. In small cell lung cancer, for the early systemic dissemination also at the initial stages, improvements with exclusive radiotherapy are of short duration. Combined radiation and chemotherapy improves local control at the thoracic level.

Authentic Leadership (Part 1)
by Jeff Johnson
The authors of “Crucial Conversations” conducted a social experiment with one of the author’s sons and some of his friends. The son paid his friends a dollar to participate in a taste test. The test was between two brownies. The first was made from his favorite grandmother’s home recipe; his recently deceased grandmother. The other brownie was a regular box recipe.
What the children did not know was that there was no grandmother, and the recipe he was using had substituted salt for sugar. In other words, there was no way that these brownies were going to taste better than standard brownies. Yet, with video evidence to prove it, when asked which brownie was their favorite, each child chose grandma’s recipe. It was as if they believed that they could not both tell the truth and maintain their friendship.
This tendency does not end when we grow older. Our organizations are filled with leaders who avoid difficult conversations because of the impact they assume it will have upon their working relationship. Many times they find it easier to just terminate the relationship rather than have a conversation that could bring solutions and create change.
A friend of mine was once bold enough to allow his organization to put part of his annual review online as part of a blog series. I remember watching it and then calling him to ask if he still had a job. It was that rough; at least from my perspective. From his perspective he had experienced a healthy and helpful time of encouragement and exhortation. His example showed that there is a way to say difficult things in an encouraging way. “Crucial Conversations” writes of the need for mutual purpose and mutual respect. When those two things are maintained you can have highly emotional, highly important conversations in such a way that you both speak authentically and maintain relationship.
Is there a conversation you have been avoiding due to the high potential for relational fallout? How can you bring the conversation around to mutual purpose while showing respect for the other party? Authentic leaders learn how to speak the truth in a respectful way, and their organizations are better for it. | <urn:uuid:c686ecf4-89fb-47e4-950a-716d02f440fc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.abbaconnect.net/blog/authentic-leadership-part-1/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.988852 | 443 | 1.953125 | 2 |

Customers with a wide range of devices are receiving a "Message not yet downloaded from server" error whenever they attempt to open an email message with an attachment. The problem appears to be affecting Apple customers who have POP email accounts and is causing issues with both new and old emails.
Deleting email accounts and adding them back in does not fix the issue, but downloading an alternate email program from the App Store seems to have worked for many users as a temporary fix. Turning off Wi-Fi also allows some users to read their previously downloaded emails and access attachments, but images are not viewable.I am having exactly the same issue. Many of my old mails on my iPad just saying not yet downloaded from the server. I am using a pop account on both my iPad and windows live mail. I have tried deleting my email accounts and adding back in. Even some emails that were received this morning are now showing as not being downloaded from the server.
One customer experiencing issues received a response from Apple's engineering team, suggesting the email issue occurs when an email account has been configured to remove a copy of emails on the server. This has left some wondering whether the behavior is an intended function or a bug, but while leaving messages on the server solves some of the problem, sent and trash emails remain unaccessible. The requirement to leave messages on the server also defeats the purpose of a POP email account.
While these email problems have been plaguing users since iOS 9 was released, Apple did not fix the problem in iOS 9.0.1 or iOS 9.0.2, the two minor bug fix updates that have been released to the public since September 16. It is not clear if iOS 9.1, the first major update to iOS, fixes the issue, and Apple has not given any statement on whether some kind of fix is planned or if there's been an intentional change to the way POP email accounts work on iOS in iOS 9.This issue usually starts if one of the devices/computers that was setup with this email account has been configured to remove a copy of emails on the server. If this is the case, the customer will need to check the settings of all the devices and computers that are running this email account.
iOS leaves messages on the POP3 server by default. iOS never stores email permanently, whether POP3 or IMAP. If they are removed from the server by another device then this issue can occur.
A test that you may want to do to confirm this is to have the customer produce the error by opening one affected mail on the iOS device, and then locate that specific email on his webmail. If not found, then the device is behaving as expected. If found, please try to forward it to the same mailbox and see if the same issue occurs.

Denise Ojeda has created a beautiful medal that pays tribute to a Southside church and historical site that has been important to her growing up and beyond. The Mission Concepción Parrots Fiesta Medal features the Spanish mission in the background and two parakeets in the foreground kind of snuggling together. Why the parakeets? Turns out that there is a feral colony of them on the Southside (they are also found in cities throughout Texas) and you can see flashes of green as you visit the mission. And ironically enough, the variety is the "Monk Parakeet"—fitting resident indeed for the mission.
$1 from every sale through 2020 was donated to the local Family Violence Prevention Services charity. Family violence has become a major problem in San Antonio with the municipal government launching a campaign to provide awareness and prevent it. Denise trusts this organization's role in our community and wants the medal to benefit their cause.

Power Pivot pivot table shows months in alphabetical order. In the previous article, we saw how to solve this problem using Custom List based sort.
In this article we will see a little more complex but more flexible method.
Download and Follow Along
This file has only one sheet with both raw data tables. These tables have already been added to data model.
Solution 2 : Month sorting order
The steps are: Create a relationship between both tables using the common month column. Use the MonthKey column in the final Pivot Table. But before doing that, set the column ordering based upon the MonthNumber column.
Open Power Pivot Data Model.
The Power Pivot window shows two base tables Data and Months.
Create relationship between Data and Months tables.
Right click in the Month column header in Data table and choose Create Relationship.
Choose the Months table and MonthKey column in the dialog to create a relationship.
Set sort order in the Months table
Click the Months table tab. In the ribbon, choose Sort By Column from the Home tab.
Now inform Power Pivot that whenever the MonthKey field is used in pivot table, the sorting should be as per the MonthNumber field. This is a very useful feature.
Remember that any field within a table can be used as the sort order for any other field.
Cross-referencing is not allowed. For example, in this case I cannot create another Sort By Column from MonthNumber to MonthKey because they are already involved in sorting each other.
Create Power Pivot Table
From the Home tab of Power Pivot window choose Pivot Table. Create it in a New Worksheet.
Now drag Amount to data area and Monthkey into the row area. Things work perfectly as expected. This happened due to the Sort By Column option.
Other uses of this method
We can use it for custom sorting any master files. Often we want locations in a custom order – where the head office location comes first and then other locations appear in descending order of importance (or revenue or headcount or whatever).
Similarly, when viewing products or Cities or Expenses or Training Topics, we often want a custom order which is neither ascending or descending. This is when you add a column like MonthNumber which contains the desired order of sorting and map it to the Descriptive field.
Here is a sample table for sorting products in the desired order.
Is there an even better way?
What I just showed is a very simple example to explain the concept. However real life data is much more complex. Typically the transactional data will not have a MONTH column. It will be derived from a Date column which contains a full date (and sometimes time portion as well).
Date related calculation can be really complex. Besides we want to group them by many different periods like days, weeks, months, quarters, years, fiscal years and so on.
In this case, adding a calculated column for all of them is not a good idea.
Why? Because if the data is large, that calculation for every row is an overhead.
So what is the right way? We must use a TIME table.
We will discuss the concept of Time Table and how to use it in the next article. | <urn:uuid:fd75b9d8-4423-4635-b3e9-b9686b363b98> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://efficiency365.com/2014/12/05/repairing-month-sorting-order-in-power-pivot-part-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.880325 | 719 | 2.3125 | 2 |
All Things DER: How Advanced Distribution Management Systems Are the First Step to Social Equity
Welcome to the All Things DER podcast! In this podcast, we’ll be digging in, defining, and discussing where the new energy economy is heading with electric industry leaders, and explore all the ways that distributed energy resources can modernize and improve our ever-evolving power grid.
In today’s episode, we’re talking with Mark Vallo, the Manager of Smart Grid Performance and Support at FirstEnergy. We discuss the importance of implementing technologically advanced outage management systems while striving for social equity through the landscape of grid modernization. We also discuss how the political climate of a given region determines the use of DER. From obtaining good information and reliable data to keeping safety the number one goal for both employees and customers, we dig into a variety of ways to continually and incrementally make changes to the power grid to positively impact future generations for years to come.
Here’s what you’ll discover:
- Why outage management systems need updating, and what FirstEnergy is using for implementing a new ADMS for its 6 million customers in the near future
- How the political climate of a given state affects the use of DER
- What the two core tenants of safety and reliability mean for the future of DER and the speed at which we implement such resources
- How our technology-fueled lifestyles affect the need for increased reliability for families, and how ADMS works to remedy these issues
- Why DERMS is the logical next step for FirstEnergy after successfully implementing the new ADMS later this year, and why this granular approach to data collection matters
- How innovative and entrepreneurial thought processes can work to solve social equity and environmental justice issues through the landscape of grid modernization | <urn:uuid:855a5568-2ac1-4759-b65d-a717c2e69277> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aeic.org/2022/06/all-things-der-how-advanced-distribution-management-systems-are-the-first-step-to-social-equity/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.884983 | 367 | 1.671875 | 2 |
Arduino listens for serial port communication on its hardware serial port.
Then it sends every received line of data trough software serial port to ESP8266.
ESP8266 puts every received line of data into circular buffer.
ESP8266 also runs code for webserver and a website which pools the buffer for new data and displays it on the website. (Sadly there is no websockets support for ESP8266.) | <urn:uuid:16e908bc-2cd2-469c-b5b6-8cd0d1698803> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://hackaday.io/project/5680-hardware-serial-port-monitor-with-wifi | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.914514 | 112 | 2.453125 | 2 |
The Kids Are (Not) Alright
Children's hospitalizations for COVID-19 are reaching new highs.
Tell me more.
Since January, hospitals have seen a large increase in visits from patients under 18, according to the CDC. Same with those in their 30s. For a while, many thought the coronavirus largely spared children. And some young adults have had a sense of ‘invincibility.’ But amid delta’s spread, new COVID-19 cases are at the highest level since winter. And hospitalizations are going up too. The variant makes up over 98% of new cases – including some breakthrough infections. Now, these two younger groups – which have some of the lowest vaccination rates – are filling up hospital beds.
What does this mean for the school year?
Some schools plan to continue telling teachers and students to mask up. But others aren't seeing mask to mask. Despite pushback, governors in Arizona, Florida, and Tennessee are trying to ban masks mandates in schools. Texas, too. But the state's Supreme Court decided to not step in, allowing the mask mandate to go through. All this didn't stop some school districts from trying to find loopholes to help kiddos keep the SpongeBob masks on...and keep them safe. Colleges are having their own problems, too. Many universities are scrambling to bring back their mask mandates to boost protection against delta. And some have been taken to court over vaccine requirements.
So what now?
The Biden admin’s saying ‘enough is enough.’ And told state govs that ban mask mandates that Uncle Sam will be taking “legal action.” Now, with the school year around the corner, some parents may be wondering about vaccines. So far, the FDA has only authorized Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for use in children 12+. And Moderna is eyeing its own authorization. As for kids under 12, trials are ongoing. Health experts say the best way to keep kiddos safe is for adults and eligible teens to get vaxxed. And it sounds like people are listening. Yesterday, more than one million Americans reportedly got pricked in 24 hours – the first time the country's hit that number in nearly seven weeks.
The contagious delta variant has changed what people thought they knew about the coronavirus and children. But as some lawmakers, schools, and parents debate safety measures, children are caught in the middle.
PS: If your kids are going back to the classroom: We have five tips from experts on how to ease back-to-school anxiety.
What people are watching…
Afghanistan. Yesterday, protests against the Taliban’s rule continued for the second day. And came on the country's 102nd anniversary of independence from British rule. Hundreds of Afghans – including women – took to the streets in at least three provinces, chanting things like “Our flag, Our pride” while waving Afghanistan’s national flag. But the Taliban’s been cracking down on protesters. Militant fighters fired at a crowd in Asadabad, reportedly killing two people. And beat protesters in Kabul. They also issued a curfew in Khost after protests there. The Taliban’s also reportedly upping its search for those who worked with the US and NATO forces – including former Afghan security officials. And are threatening to kill or arrest family members if their search turns up empty-handed.
The resistance: In an op-ed, the son of a former guerrilla commander said there are efforts to assemble a militia against the Taliban. But is calling on the US to help with weapons, ammunition, and other supplies.
Cutting ties: The International Monetary Fund has blocked Afghanistan from accessing over $440 million in currency reserves. But the UN says it could affect an estimated 14 million people that face severe hunger in the region.
PS: Our latest "Skimm This" episode breaks down how the Taliban took over so quickly, whether more people can get out safely, and what’s next for the country.
What’s saying ‘we hear you’...
The Biden admin. Yesterday, it said it will erase more than $5.8 billion of student loan debt for more than 323,000 people. Specifically, those who are permanently disabled. The fed gov has offered debt relief for people with disabilities and limited incomes. But has required them to submit proof of their disability. And have their income monitored for three years. Now, the admin plans on doing away with those rules. Starting in September, balances will start going to $0. Advocates for students reportedly called it a “life-changing” step. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers are still pushing for the admin to forgive $50,000 of student loan debt per person.
Psst…here’s where everyone else’s student loans stand and how to figure out your next move.
Who's taken a Tumblr...
OnlyFans. Yesterday, the subscription platform said it'd be banning "sexually explicit conduct" starting in October. Big pornblem, since the site’s known for its adult content. And rose in popularity over the pandemic because of it, becoming the source of income (even, the primary source) for 2 million people. Creators say the news is hard to swallow. But the company's move comes as it has struggled to attract investors.
What nobody asked for…
Horizon Workrooms. Yesterday, Facebook announced its new free VR app, which allows people to create avatars that attend virtual work meetings. B**ch, don’t kill the WFH vibe.
What’s got people saying ‘Oh, Lorde’...

Microfiber is used to make clothing and a wide range of accessories; it is used in the production of cloths and mops; as thermal insulation in sleeping bags and other equipment; and even in basketballs.
In this blog post, we will look specifically at the benefits of microfiber towels and why you should consider swapping our your cotton towel for new, high-quality microfiber towels.
Microfiber towels are available in a wide range of colors and sizes and kind to your hair and skin. If you are considering switching to microfiber towels, read on.
- Less Frizz
Using microfiber bath towels helps to reduce frizz as you dry your hair. Frizzy hair occurs when your hair is dry and lacking moisture. When you use a microfiber towel, you will create less friction while drying your hair, limiting frizz and protecting your hair.
Microfiber towels are incredibly absorbent, meaning they will dry your hair properly. Not only that, but you will notice fewer split ends and overall damage to your hair than with a cotton or terrycloth towel.
- Say Goodbye to Lint
Let’s get one thing straight here: lint is annoying! In cotton towels, it’s common to notice little lint balls in your hair after use. However, this isn’t an issue with microfiber hair towels.
As they are incredibly absorbent, you won’t have to rub a microfiber towel through your hair as you would with a cotton towel. Also, microfiber towels are made of closely woven material, which works to limit the transfer of lint to your hair.
- Cost Effective & Convienient
Not only do microfiber towels offer a faster and gentler drying experience over traditional cotton towels, but they are also most-effective in the long run. Microfiber towels last for years and are as effective after hundreds of use as they are brand new.
As well as being durable, they are compact and lightweight. This makes them the perfect accompaniment when you are traveling. They can be easily folded into compact suitcases compared to cotton towels.

The Atelier Bebrél project was born from the synergy of two shelters for women victims of violence, Casa Delbrêl (Punto Missione Onlus) and Comunità di Vita (Casa Betel 2000), located in Brescia and Rodengo Saiano (BS). Fondazione Marcegaglia has been supporting this new project since 2020, which focuses on training and entrepreneurship to offer an opportunity for redemption to women victims of trafficking, violence or marked by severe social hardship.
In the social rehabilitation process of these women, one of the main objectives is precisely to provide training and work so that they can re-enter the social and working world by acquiring their own autonomy. Thanks to Atelier Bebrél they can put themselves to the test in a real tailoring workshop for cutting and sewing.
The Atelier is divided into two laboratories: one used for actual production and open to the public, which carries out tailoring work and tailor-made repairs as well as tailor-made tailoring, and a laboratory used for training. The two laboratories communicate and collaborate, both for the transfer of skills and work. The apprentices are placed in training courses through internships or work grants and usually have previous knowledge in tailoring as well as a strong motivation, this makes their insertion easier and the training path more effective. Based on the level achieved and the skills acquired, they have the opportunity to grow professionally by moving from one laboratory to another. From the beginning we tried to give a highly qualitative cut to tailoring production so that in the Atelier you learn how to sew by hand and machine, but also to make high quality garments starting from the design of models and prototypes.
With the contribution of the Artistic Director of the project, Prof. Dario Polatti, former professor at the Santa Giulia Academy in Brescia and consultant for fashion events, the Bebrél Line was born, consisting of garments entirely made in the Atelier.
In 2021, the support of the Marcegaglia Foundation is focused on expanding the spaces of the Atelier with a room and machinery used solely for training to allow production and training activities to proceed simultaneously and create greater collaboration between workers and apprentices.
The main goal for the near future is to make the Atelier economically sustainable by guaranteeing the activity of the two laboratories and satisfying the market demand through the proposal of ethical and high quality tailoring products.

Many are offering false hope to save our society. To the drunk, the world says it is not his fault; it is a disease or an addiction. He cannot control himself. Society must save him! Society says, “We want to help you. We have groups to support you. We will help you manage this problem.” Why does this reveal false hope? Because the same groups will say to the alcoholic, “You will always be an alcoholic. You will never get rid of this, but we can teach you how to manage it.” God is much more gracious than that! He offers a cure–Jesus.
Looking back 50 years, we can evaluate the combined efforts of the medical, social, educational, governmental, legal, and theological professions. The combined impact on society has been negative. There are exceptions here and there, but in general, human misery has worsened.
False or Real Hope
We have listened to the message of this world so long that we can no longer distinguish the difference between false hope and the Word of God. What would God say in our day concerning alcoholism? In the New and Old Testament it is never referred to as alcoholism. It is never referred to as a disease. Drunkenness is always referred to as sin. If alcoholism is sin, there is no human remedy. Thanks be to God that His Son Jesus offers full and abundant life, not the condemnation of an incurable disorder.
Yet, we as human beings are offering false hope in our world by using a worldly way of thinking. To the person addicted to some substance we say, “We’ll teach you how to manage this, but you can never get rid of it, for if you ever get around it again it will come right back on you. You see, this is a disease for which we have no cure.” However, if alcoholism is what God says it is–drunkenness–there is a cure. Jesus Christ can cure the alcoholic. He can remove the sin from a person. You simply must decide whether you believe the Word or the world.
Real Hope Has Real Answers
One year I counseled almost a hundred families who came to church every week, yet their marriages were falling apart. Most of these people had already been to every other source looking for help–the marriage therapist, the family therapist, support groups, even to studies within our own church. They had been to psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors. Is it wrong to turn to these sources for help? The answer depends on whether or not they are based on the world or the Word.
People often come to me and other biblical counselors as a last resort. “We need help with our marriage,” they say. But their marriage is not their problem. Their problem is personal sin. The world would say, “Kerry, you’re being too harsh, telling people that the problem in their marriage is sin and repentance is the solution. You need to help them work through these everyday struggles in their marriage. It may take months of convincing them to stay together to work it out. You should offer them two years of counseling to get them back in shape.” That is the world’s approach.
I believe that offers a false hope. How many couples do you know who, in the midst of contemplating divorce, will go through two years of counseling? They are already struggling and will find it impossible to last. That is the false hope of our day. If the wife’s heart is right toward God, and the husband’s heart is right toward God, their marriage is open to God’s healing. The Word of God tells us one thing, but the false prophets of our day tell us another. Any advice not based on the Word of God will bring false hope.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; they speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the Lord” (Jer. 23:16).
The world is doing the best they know how to offer help. However, it is from their own minds that they offer wisdom. According to the verse above, the very same thing took place in Jeremiah’s day. As Christians in our day, we must decide whether God’s Word supersedes everything else on the bookstore shelf.
I walked into a bookstore in downtown Atlanta just to see what was on the shelves. I went to the “Self Help” section. Would you believe that this section was almost the largest in the entire store? There were helps to improve one’s self, one’s attitudes, one’s health, and one’s job satisfaction. As I looked at some of these, I began to see a picture of the false thinking of our day.
Self-gratification is another false hope we have in our day–anything that gratifies me, that improves me, no matter what it does to people around me.
They continually say to those who despise Me, “The Lord has said, ‘You shall have peace’; and to everyone who walks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say, ‘No evil shall come upon you’” (Jer. 23:17).
Our lives have been so so saturated by the media and the teachings of our day to believe our salvation is within ourselves, our attitudes, and positive thinking. Is it possible that we have spent more time studying these sources than we have spent searching the Word of God? If so, the result will be that we get mixed up about right and wrong, true and false. We do not know enough about God and His Word to know His answer to our personal and social problems.
As a result, hardness of heart comes to the Christian. While divorce, teenage suicide, AIDS, and adultery have come into the church, many have no grief in their hearts. Sensitivity needs to be renewed in the church. The true hope of Jesus Christ needs to be proclaimed. The focus of our message should be the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! | <urn:uuid:76a0b1f6-f158-4543-9731-36acdb3393fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thinklifechange.com/false-hopes/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.972261 | 1,283 | 1.875 | 2 |

Since the Ebola outbreak in West Africa panic has spread faster than the virus and guests became insecure about going on South Africa safari. Ebola is not an airborne disease and South Africa is far away from West Africa. However, it is the little knowledge about the geography of Africa and the distances on the continent what creates the myth. South Africa is as far away from Liberia as Miami from Paraguay and Nairobi is as far away from Liberia as Hong Kong from Dubai. South African safaris are not affected by Ebola, just like a holiday in Spain.
The infographic by The Safari Company. below shows the distances of African safari destinations from West Africa in comparison to other countries and continents. Paris, London and Madrid are closer to Liberia than South Africa. It is only the poor understanding of the geography of the African continent, what makes one fear of Ebola when travelling to an African country, but not in France.
A very good article is available in the New York Times called “What you need to know about the Ebola outbreak”, showing what the risks are and taking away myths about the disease. Africa is a huge and diverse continent, yet widely unknown in detail. Safari countries like South Africa are in no way like a West African country. There is a reason, that there are no safaris in West Africa, but all safari holidays are happening in Southern and East Africa. South African safaris are excellent and can be safely enjoyed.
There are very good reasons to do a South African safari, especially when visiting Africa for the first time. Yes, it makes a difference which African safari destination one visits first when calling the western world home. Climate, nature, culture and the standard of accommodations can differ a lot and South Africa can provide a smooth introduction to Africa.
South Africa is pretty developed with regards to infrastructure and standard of accommodations and service. Facilities one is used to from home are provided including free WiFi in most of the safari lodges.
With the Sabi Sands South Africa have probably the best leopard sightings in the world.
Thorough conservation work for decades allows excellent Big Five sightings.
The safari guides are well trained and on private game reserves a team of a tracker and ranger make sure the wildlife gets found.
A maximum of 6 guests per open game drive vehicle on higher standard private game reserves provides an outstanding safari experience.
Besides that, allows a South African safari the combination with more incredible sights of the country. A classic combination is Kruger Park and Cape Town. For guests with more time at hand a round trip including Kruger Park, the Garden Route and Cape Town is a good option. And not to forget, that other great safari destinations like Botswana, Namibia and the Victoria Falls are at the doorstep.
One might wonder why South African safari tour Cheetah & Big Five and not just Big Five? Cheetahs are not part of the Big Five, which are lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant. These animals are the most dangerous to hunt on foot and therefore called the Big Five and cheetahs do not belong to this category. However they are incredibly beautiful and are part of the Big Cats and on many “want to see lists” of safari guests. Therefore an African safari with Cheetah & Big Five.
The South African safari tour takes guests to Phinda Private Game Reserve and Kruger National Park. Phinda is an excellent game reserve to see cheetah. It got plenty of open areas, which makes it an ideal hunting ground for cheetahs. Besides these incredible cats, the game reserve has the Big Five including the black rhino. In Kruger guests will stay in the Sabi Sands, the probably best wildlife area to see leopards, but rarely cheetahs. The predator competition is too big and the bushveld is not ideal for them either.
Combining these two major wildlife destinations in one African safari itinerary guarantees excellent sightings. The distance between the areas is big, but direct light aircraft transfer are available, ensuring time is not lost for travel, but saved for game drives. Wildlife photography enthusiasts will love both safari destinations, as they offer ideal conditions to come home with the most amazing pictures, National Geographic style.
More information is available in the detailed itinerary, available for download here.
When reading “dangerous situations on African safari” one might easily think of dangerous encounters with wild animals, but we are thinking more of the two legged animal, the human being. Reminding people to be alert when traveling in Africa is of most importance to the self-drive African safari traveler.
African safari travel in general, like all travel, gets safer when being conscious of danger and being alert, if possible always. The game drives are the least dangerous part of the safari when professionally guided. The professional safari guide knows the wildlife and is trained in animal behavior and response to critical situations, which could be an elephant charging a vehicle. Many people think, that cats like lion, leopard and cheetah are the ones to be afraid of, but they are not. Elephants, buffalo and hippo are more dangerous and more accidents happen with them. However, there is little to worry about when travelling with a professional safari guide. The self-drive safari guests should at least read about the African bush before travelling and stick to the rules they receive when entering national parks.
But what about dangerous situations on African safari caused by humans? This part is very similar to any other travel in the world and mainly of importance for self-drive safari travellers. Be alert of tricks to distract you and steal something from your car, preferably at gas stations, junctions or other places where you will have to stop the car. Know where you are going and avoid driving at night. Don’t be a soft target. People with bad intensions sense that immediately and will take advantage. At least pretend to know what you are doing and don’t show off with expensive gadgets and jewelry. This might all sound familiar, as it could also be advice for travelling to Barcelona or any other tourist hot spot. Just keep in mind, that there is a whole industry specialized in tricking tourists, also in Africa. But most of all enjoy awesome safaris and wildlife sightings on incredible game reserves or national parks of this amazing continent. | <urn:uuid:550f94f0-2a5a-472a-a7a0-95bb65ce19a2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://rohoyachui.com/blog/files/archive-24-august-2014.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.947107 | 1,314 | 2.515625 | 3 |

ZION CANYON FIELD INSTITUTE
2014 LOOKS TO BE A GREAT YEAR FOR ZION CANYON FIELD INSTITUTE
ATTEND ONE OF THE SPECTACULAR CLASSES PLANNED
Zion Canyon Field Institute is offering 55 scheduled classes in 2014. There are three new classes; Zion Canyon’s Cottonwood Trees and the CCC, High Country Mammals, and Crepuscular Mammals. We have also fine-tuned our Narrows’ offerings to Wednesdays only. We did this because Wednesday is one of the slowest days of visitation in the Park.
We are once again offering Great Basin National Park Exploratory that was offered for the first time last year. This class was a big hit with all the first time attendees. Here’s a quote from one of the participants, “Thank you for such a fabulous trip! I think Great Basin is my new favorite park! We had a 10 day roadtrip and everyone in my family thought the highlight of the trip was the time spent with you, Ben and Walt on our hikes.”
Again this year the Fern and J.L. Crawford Lecture Series is a collaboration with the Division of Resource Management in Zion and is made possible by a generous grant from the National Park Foundation. As always these lectures are free and open to the public, and occur at the Canyon Community Center (126 Lion Blvd) in Springdale. All lectures start @ 7:30 pm. The following lectures are already scheduled with more to come.
Dr. Alan Titus – All the Bells and Whistles: Late Cretaceous Horned Dinosaurs
Lori Rome – Mountain Lions on the Colorado Plateau
Gary Oye – America’s Wilderness:Celebrating 50 Years of Conservation
So pick a class or a free lecture and join us. If your visit to Zion does not coincide with a scheduled class please inquire about our “Custom Explore Zion” program. Enjoy a half day or full day guided activity with one of our knowledgeable naturalist/guides. Call 435-772-3264 or email ZCFI director Michael Plyler at [email protected]. We hope to take you hiking in our classroom soon.

Auto insurance is an incredibly important thing for all drivers simply must have. The following ideas should help you narrow down your options so you can use to figure out the best insurance coverage for your unique situation.
Most states require all drivers to have liability insurance for drivers. You need to be aware of the regulations regarding minimum insurance policies you are required to have. You are breaking the law if you have no insurance and get into an accident.
Your chosen vehicle will strongly affect the number one influencing factor on your monthly insurance rates. If you want to save as many dollars as you can, choose a safe, modest vehicle.
Cutting back on the miles driven a year could make your monthly insurance go down. Your premiums may go down if you report your low mileage to your insurance provider.
Make sure you know what coverage types are important when choosing auto policy must have with respect to coverage. While auto insurance policies offer a lot of different coverage types, some do not make sense. However, if you own a valuable car and fear that you might get into an accident one day, maintaining collision coverage is probably a good idea.
Carpooling and public transit can save you money on your insurance costs. Insurance companies appreciate their customers being responsible clients.
It’s important to do your research before purchasing auto insurance. There is a wide variety of coverage available; being knowledgeable about each type will help you make a better purchase. There are tons of factors that influence the final cost of your insurance plan. In case you hit someone, you can use bodily injury liability to pay for the legal fees.
Having one driver linked to each car can result in better insurance rates lower.
When purchasing car insurance, remember that only you are covered unless you specifically add others to your policy. Sometimes, other drivers, but if this friend wrecks, your insurance company will not pay for the damage. You would have to get an addition to your car.
The best auto insurance advice is to keep a clean record clean. A car accident will quickly increase your rates quicker than almost anything else. Know your own driving limits, and avoid risks that could cause accidents.
Before you buy a car, you should research the insurance rates on the vehicle you are considering. Your insurance agent can tell you what vehicles have the best premiums. Knowing the rates can help you in choosing the car that is best for you. A higher safety rating means lower insurance policies.
Do not jump on exceptionally cheap car insurance quote that you get. Cheap may mean just that or it could be what you get!
Ask your insurance agent for a list of the money-saving opportunities their company provides.
Don’t buy your teen a car of his own. Adding a teenager to a family plan is much cheaper. Some insurance even offer good student discounts.
Your vehicle’s make and model is the number one influencing factor on your auto insurance rates. A luxury car or sports car may suit your personality, but the resulting insurance cost may not be to your taste at all. If you want to save as many dollars as you can, drive something modest, yet safe.
Insurance companies do not all created equal. If you don’t like the first quote you get, check out the rates at some other insurance companies before you make your decision.
Remove any drivers from your car insurance as soon as they stop driving your vehicle anymore. If you remove an extra person your rates will often go down, consider removing them in order to save some money on your premiums.
Reconsider purchasing costly add-ons for your car. Heated seats and a great stereo system are nice, but you do not really have to have them. Add-ons will not be replaced or reimbursed if your vehicle is in an accident or stolen, unless you have purchased supplemental insurance for these extra parts which is usually quite costly.
Many insurance companies give discounts to people who do not drive less. This makes cutting your driving a wonderful way to save money on car insurance.
Consider paying your insurance at one time. There may be extra fees for paying in monthly payments.
Your credit score can affect how much you will pay for auto insurance premium. Auto insurers will check your credit of new customers.
When purchasing auto insurance, be sure to include property damage liability. This way you know that you will be covered when damage is caused by your vehicle in an accident. In most of the United States, property damage liability is required by law. It can be a real financial lifesaver if you get into a serious accident with lots of damage.
Defensive driving courses can be a great and easy way to reduce the cost of your auto insurance premiums. You can take these classes at your local driving schools across the country. You will be able to find them online.
Never drive without having auto insurance. Auto insurance protects you, your family, and your assets in an accident. Also, in most places, it’s the law! The tips in this article should be used to help you find the auto insurance policy that best suits your needs.
Insurance is the ultimate protection against any type of accident or disaster happening to your car. The car’s owner will pay a set amount, known as a deductible, while the insurance company is obligated to pay for the remainder of the cost to repair the vehicle. Depending on the amount of the deductible, this could save one a significant amount of money. | <urn:uuid:8929ddfd-c276-4d66-8d1c-38edc702194f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://carshopping.biz/great-guide-on-how-to-get-good-auto-insurance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.95185 | 1,119 | 1.65625 | 2 |
Meet the Dombkins – a family that is proof of the adage that all you need is love.
When Mark and Anna Dombkins first held Jackson, their baby son, they made each other a pledge. “Everywhere you go when you have a newborn, everyone wants to love him, to touch him and give him a cuddle,” recalls Anna, a 33-year-old teacher.
“We’d watched a documentary about orphanages in China. There were so many children there that needed to be cuddled and loved, just as we were loving our baby.
“We hadn’t thought about adopting, but when we held him, those images of children who had never been held kept coming back to us. The contrast between them and our child was so stark. We promised each other we would do everything we could to share that love with children who needed it.”
Sharing simply doesn’t seem a big enough word for what Anna and Mark have achieved. Today, they have three biological children and three orphans adopted from Tanzania, Africa.
As happy as they are, Mark and Anna say their attempts to create their family have not all been easy. As National Adoption Awareness Week focuses attention on the issues surrounding adoption, they spent years trying to navigate their way through the bureaucracy that surrounds international adoption in Australia.
“We started this journey here in Australia and it was clear from the start that it was going to be a long journey, but we were willing to pursue that,” says Mark, also 33 and a high school maths teacher. “But the truth is, that feeling that it was going to be long, frustrating and expensive didn’t go away.”
After attending an adoption seminar in 2007, Mark and Anna decided to become part of the Ethiopian inter-country adoption program, but that was beset by problems and closed by the Australian government in 2012. As exasperating as that was, Mark and Anna ultimately found another way. In 2010, both were offered positions at the International School in the rural city of Moshi, in northern Tanzania, not far from the Kenyan border. By then, they had also added Jemima to their family.
“After being in the Ethiopian program, we had done a lot of research about adopting from Africa. When the [teaching] opportunity came up, we thought, what a great chance to see everything first-hand,” says Anna. “We also started to research the adoption laws in Tanzania so we could pursue that while we were there.”
As it turned out, the Tanzanian adoption laws were compatible with Australian laws. Yet what struck both Mark and Anna about Africa was the degree of poverty and need. “We heard a lot of stories about people who couldn’t feed their children, people who would try to get on to social welfare, but were turned away and there was no one to help them,” says Anna. “And among the worst affected were children who were orphaned because they have no one to turn to. There is nothing else for them to do but scavenge for scraps of food.”
And that knowledge made them all the more determined to adopt a child from Tanzania. “Once we found out that the laws were compatible with Australia and that we met the criteria, we knew we wanted to find a child there,” says Anna, who, with Mark, learned to speak Swahili. “It was easier working from that end because it was much quicker than in Australia, but the system has challenges – living in a Third World country, dealing with a bureaucracy where you don’t understand how things are done.
“But perhaps the best thing was that once we found the children that we were interested in adopting, the system encourages the children to live with you and your family while the adoption is being processed.”
Just a few months after they moved to Moshi, they were able to welcome three orphans into their home: Jabari, a boy, and twins Shay, a girl, and Charlie. “They were able to live with us as foster children while we were going through the process,” says Mark. “And that was an amazing thing for us as parents, for our own children and for them because they were immediately able to have the care and love that a family can provide.”
Incredibly, there is only about nine months separating Jabari, Shay and Charlie, and Jemima. “They are a tight little pack,” says Anna. “Shay and Charlie will turn five in a couple of weeks, so then we will have four five-year-olds running around the house.”
Mark and Anna believe adopting their children in their country of origin has been a blessing because it meant that they could start together as a family, but also see the children in their own culture.
“We want them to know where they come from and how they came to be part of our family,” says Anna. “They will have some memories of that, I am sure, as we all will. Africa is just as much a part of Jackson and Jemima as well.”
Mark and Anna, who recently gave birth to their third biological child, Max, brought their blended family back to Australia last September. “Jabari, Shay and Charlie had barely ever left the village where they were born,” says Anna. “And it’s easy to forget that, until they point at something that they haven’t seen before. They love it here.”
Mark and Anna are vocal supporters of the AdoptChange campaign, which seeks legislative reform for inter-country adoption. “We know that there are many children who could benefit from becoming part of families here in Australia,” Mark says. “When you have children in Africa who have no one and families here who want to adopt, then it simply doesn’t make sense for those two goals not to meet.”

Supporting testers that are entering the world DevOps: a more collaborative approach that will allow your teams to work more closely together and create an environment more accustomed to solve critical issues efficiently and overall better manage unplanned work. Join the DevOps United community and embark on the DevOps journey today!
Certified Tester in DevOps - Foundation Level (CTD-FL)
DevOps have become a key to continuous delivery, which involves continuous integration, deployment and testing. This course is relevant for the testers who are in roles where DevOps forms a part of their responsibilities or for the testers who want to understand what DevOps means and how to implement some of the practices in their day to day work.
The Certified Tester in DevOps is an all-level course, aimed at Testers, Test leads and Managers, QEs who write automation code and frameworks or are involved in CI/CD/CT.
The CTDFL course will introduce the concepts related to the DevOps mindet, followed by hands on activities that will ensure that each Learning Objective will be easily applied into the systems or applications.
DevOps requires us to think beyond development and testing. It requires us to involve people who support the development such as people who create the deployment environment, deploy and monitor it and customer support amongst all possible roles. This requires us to change the way we do testing and the types of testing we do. It also requires us to change the way we collaborate with people.
The fact that Agile has become very popular means we need to think of DevOps in Agile too. The course not only explores these but also looks the tools that enable DevOps including activities that require creation of test environment quickly and the technologies that enable it such as the cloud and containers (e.g. Dockers) and also automated build, release and deployment and also Automation tools. | <urn:uuid:3b21cde3-972e-487b-9fa0-722f9fc92997> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.devops-united.com/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.956576 | 388 | 1.914063 | 2 |
Termination of pregnancy: Cultural practices, the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act and the constitutional rights of children
The cultural practice of ukuthwala, the abduction for marriage of young girls, violates their constitutional rights and contravenes the Children’s and Sexual Offences Act. The provisions of the Choice Act for the third trimester of pregnancy are more onerous than the former Abortion Act and violate the constitutional rights of girls and women who face a serious threat to their physical or mental health or have been raped or subjected to incest. The Choice Act should be amended accordingly. Until it is amended, healthcare practitioners should use the constitutional ‘best interests of the child’ principle as interpreted by the Children’s Act when deciding whether or not to terminate the pregnancy of a child in the third trimester.

We all want our dogs to be as healthy as possible. With all of the pet services offered these days, keeping your dog mentally and physically fit doesn't have to be as hard as teaching him new tricks. How do you ensure your dog's first walker is "the one"? How do you deal with handing the leash over to a stranger? After you've done your research and decided on a potential candidate, here are some tips to helping you feel at ease and making sure they're a good fit for Fido:
Before you meet:
- Relax and take a deep breath. This is your baby. Understood. The dog walker is there to help! They wouldn't be in this business if they didn't love dogs.
- Have your questions ready. Try not to hurl a cacophony of paranoid questions at them ("Do you think he'll be sad that I'm not walking him?"). Ask the questions that matter to you but are also relevant to the task at hand. Remember, the parent company has screened this person before hiring. Find them via word of mouth? Trust the person who referred them! They care and love their pup just as much as you do yours and wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction.
Some good questions to ask on your first meeting:
- How long have you been walking dogs?
- Do you have dogs yourself?
- (If applicable) How long have you been with your current company?
- What's your recommended route for walking my dog in this area?
- Do you offer solo walks, group walks, both?
- What rate do you charge for different walk times?
- Do you offer a walk report, send pictures, etc?
- Do you know canine first aid?
During your meeting:
- Invite them into your home. Home is where you and your dog feel most comfortable and happy. It's your turf.
- Notice how the walker behaves upon entering your home. If your dog is standoffish, does the walker try to put him at ease? If your dog is hyper and jumping, does the walker wait until he is in a calmer state to interact with him. Pay attention to whether the walker senses your dog's body language and behaviors.
- Have the treats and toys ready. To keep the first meeting from being too ruff (ha), let the walker give your pup one of his favorite treats after a polite sit, and encourage them to play with your dog and its toys.
- Introduce them to your LINK AKC Smart Collar and let them know how tracking their walks from your phone will be part of this process.
- Note the walker's attitude. This is, for all practical purposes, a job interview. You want a walker that is friendly, alert and respectful.
- Note your dog's behavior. Often, dogs will be a little shy around new people. Don't be concerned if it isn't love at first sight. If your dog seems happy and comfortable, SCORE! Your dog's instinct should be your instinct.
- Voice your concerns. You are going to have some worries when it comes to a stranger tending to your fur baby. Be honest with the walker. Don't be embarassed or shy. They've probably heard it all before.
- Be upfront about your dog's habits. If they have a tendancy to bark at dogs when they're on a leash, or maybe they aren't biggest fan of dogs much larger than them. To be fair to your new walker, they should know things like that beforehand.
At the end of the meeting:
- Take a stroll. Of course, your potential dog walker will be watching their P's and Q's, but you should be able to get a good sense of their style. Make sure your dog has on their LINK AKC collar, so you can review the app with them and what you'll be seeing during the walk.
- Walk a few steps behind. Let the go on ahead of you and see if your dog seems at ease and happy. Your dog will probably turn around some to see if you are there; note how the walker reacts to behaviors. If your dog is slow, is this person allowing for that? If your dog is jumping and pulling, is the walker being patient, implementing basic commands, or just "doing the job."
- Go home and reflect. You don't have to make a decision that day. Weigh the pros and cons of your meeting.
Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right walker for you and your dog, and that is perfectly fine. Don't be discouraged. You will find the right walker, and you'll be able to confidently track the progress of your pup and their new friend! Every dog has its day. And every dog has its walker, too! | <urn:uuid:4c539e2c-febe-42bb-876c-2962441b6b15> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.linkmypet.com/blogs/wanderer/how-to-find-the-right-dog-walker-for-you-your-pup | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.974033 | 1,006 | 1.617188 | 2 |
What happens if you melt diamond? No-one knows, because no one has been able to do it. Despite carbon?s status as the ?element of life?, its liquid state is still a mystery. Now scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California predict that carbon has not one, but two liquid states.
Well, perhaps we should not be too surprised. The two solid states of carbon are well known, and utterly dissimilar. One is diamond - hardest of all materials and valued for its crystalline brilliance. The other is graphite - dull and black, and soft enough to rub off on your fingers. The difference between the two is all down to the kind of chemical bonds that the carbon atoms form, and it seems that this is what distinguishes the two putative liquid carbons too.
In diamond, each carbon atom is linked to four others, and the bonds form the struts of a vast network extending through space like a climbing frame. In graphite, on the other hand, each atom forms only three unions with others, so that they are joined into sheets of hexagons, like chicken wire. This motif is also found in other forms of carbon, such as soot (where the particles are largely disorderly clusters of small fragments of graphite-like carbon). Because there are no strong bonds between the sheets, they can slide over one another, making graphite soft and fragile. The different bonding pattern also makes graphite electrically conducting, whereas diamond is an insulator.
But the problem in seeing what happens to these bonding patterns when carbon melts is that its melting point is so ridiculously high - around four and a half thousand degrees Centigrade. Making any sort of measurements at this temperature is extremely tricky.
All the same, Motohiro Togaya at Osaka University in Japan managed it in 1997 by discharging huge amounts of electrical charge into graphite rods. The electrical ?flash-heating? raised the temperature to thousands of degrees in an instant, and Togaya was able to glimpse the molten carbon briefly before it cooled again. He was also able to measure the electrical conductivity of the liquid, and found that at high pressure - around fifty thousand atmospheres - it changed abruptly, suggesting that the structure of the liquid might change here.
Nearly all liquids have just one structure - a pretty disorderly one, like a surging crowd in a busy railway station. But a few liquids seem to be special, offering the strange prospect of two different types of disorder: two forms of the same liquid, with different densities. This has been suggested mostly for rather exotic substances: liquid sulphur, gallium, tellurium and caesium. But it is also thought to be possible for water, and Togaya?s work raised the possibility for carbon too.
Now this idea is given further support by computer simulations of liquid carbon reported in the 7 June issue of_ Physical Review Letters _by James Glosli and Francis Ree at Lawrence Livermore. If you can?t easily generate a sample of real liquid carbon, the next best thing is to look at a computer model of it. Glosli and Ree found that their simulations predicted two types of liquid carbon - one with a higher density than the other - from around 5,000 degrees at 20,000 atmospheres to nearly 9,000 degrees at higher pressures.
The high-density form of liquid carbon is like a jumbled-up diamond - most of the atoms have four neighbours, but they are not arranged regularly as they are in diamond. The low-density form, meanwhile, is not like graphite at all, but contains mostly carbon atoms linked to just two others in chain-like structures: a kind of carbon spaghetti.

It is a well-known fact that Nepal is home to one-third of the awesome Himalayans. The country is significantly tiny but houses 800 kilometers out of 2400 kilometers long Himalayans. Thus, it is only natural that Nepal offers hundreds of trekking routes and destinations that start from the foothills of the peaks and then take you right into their hearts. Every year, thousands of trekkers fly into the country to just trek. So, trekking is the most popular adventure sport in Nepal. There are all kinds of treks to suit your budget, time length, health level, and extent of experience. But most treks fall into two categories: Teahouse Trek and Camping Trek.
The major trekking trails across the nation have lodges, which are also known as teahouses, along their entire length. It means that you can walk for few weeks without having to carry too many equipment or essentials with you. After a hard, long day of trek through the isolated and remote trail, you can still count on to a teahouse to spend the night in.
By arranging your food and accommodation locally, right away, you can trek at your own speed, set your own itinerary, and take spontaneous side trips or day offs that may not have been possible otherwise. Also, by spending bucks in the teahouses, you will be helping boost the local economy in the Himalayans that almost entirely depends on tourism.
However, it isn’t exactly free of downsides as well. Since you depend on finding a place to sleep and have a meal every day, you are restricted to only popular trekking routes that are densely populated with teahouses, in the company of other trekkers. Thus, it won’t be wrong to say that teahouse treks are also sociable events, which isn’t bad, but much of your social and cultural interactions will happen with other foreigners and not local Nepalis.
Still, teahouse trek is an absolute luxury that I think no other places in the world offer. You could be trekking through the most remote trails in the morning, crossing the high passes by noon, and still be back to a lodge for a slice of apple pie and hot tea by the evening. There is no better way to trek in comfort and freedom right into the heart of mountains. Most routes in the Everest and Annapurna region can be trekked easily as teahouse treks. It is also possible in Langtang area and Manaslu.
In more rural and inaccessible regions, you can depend on finding lodges for accommodation, so you will need to arrange a full camping trek. If you are following this style of trek, it is not recommended to trek independently. If you book your trek through a travel agency, they will manage everything from tents to cooks to porters.
For a camping trek, even if you are travelling lightly in a small group of two or three, you will still need a minimum number of crew. You will need more than two porters at least, since they will be carrying your luggage, equipment, food, stove, and everything necessary.
The best advantage of this style of trekking is that you don’t have to camp near villages. You can comfortably spend the night at very remote regions and high altitudes, enjoying in the solitude of mysterious valleys and magnificent views.
However, like everything else, you have to take this too with a little pinch of salt. Since the itineraries and camping spots are quite standardized on several treks, you might find yourself sharing the camping site with few other trekking groups. Sometimes, you even get into an undeclared competition with other groups for the best sites. You have to keep in mind that just because you are on a camping trek, you have all the place yourself.
This type of treks is suited for high altitude treks where there are no villages, or absolutely remote and far-flung regions like Dolpo where the concept of teahouses are yet to be introduced.
Lastly, these are the two main style of trekking in Nepal. Both styles have their fair share of distinct pros and cons, although the cons are exactly too grave. Irrespective of the trekking style, we can guarantee that you will have the best time of your lives in the Himalayans. | <urn:uuid:a63e7f05-0474-418f-849c-d52c8f911004> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://travelfrontpage.com/nepal-trekking-types/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.958891 | 905 | 1.546875 | 2 |
South Africa’s Department of Small Business Development has announced it will launch a centre for entrepreneurship in Mpumalanga province early next year.
The centre will be situated at the Gert Sibande Training and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college, and will start by focusing on the hospitality industry.
Minister of small business development Lindiwe Zulu told the Mpumalanga Provincial Small Business Summit on Tuesday the community where the centre will be located was identified through a thorough needs assessment which identified low startup costs and a number of new potential business.
“This Centre for Entrepreneurship instrument is critical for this province where there are big businesses who are also struggling to get good SMMEs and cooperatives that can be integrated into their value chains,” she said.
“We can utilise this to properly support artisans that are being trained at the TVET’s to become reliable suppliers and be properly integrated in the value chains.”
The Department of Small Business Development has a programme called Centres for Entrepreneurship, is aimed at fostering the culture of entrepreneurship through education, enterprise creation and network of support services.
“In order to overcome poverty, unemployment and inequality as outlined in the National Development Plan, my department will implement support mechanisms that include access to finance, business skills development, market access, competitiveness, easing the regulatory environment, advancing localisation and leveraging on public and private sector procurement,” Zulu said. | <urn:uuid:5e32864c-f5e6-4b3e-bf1a-79d06d81d791> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://disrupt-africa.com/2014/12/12/centre-entrepreneurship-launch-sas-mpumalanga-next-year/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.952499 | 306 | 1.601563 | 2 |
CDC Confirms What Everyone Suspected, Flu Vaccine Not Very Effective This Year
Preliminary results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show what everyone had suspected, this year’s flu vaccine isn’t very effective.
Final numbers might change slightly, but the vaccine’s effectiveness rate is only 36 percent.
“The over all studies suggest about 60 percent, that's a good standard [for a rate of effectiveness.] We'd love to have 90 or even 100 percent," said University of Pittsburgh’s Dr. Richard Zimmerman, who heads one of the five CDC sites that study flu vaccine effectiveness.
In the U.S. for the most deadly strain of flu, H3N2, this year’s vaccine is actually performing slightly better than in Canada and Australia. But Zimmerman says these results are still disappointing.
“Clearly we need either better vaccines or better use of current vaccines, choosing those products that might work better,” he said.
Zimmerman says vaccines that are not egg-based might be more effective at preventing disease in the future. Scientists use fluid from eggs injected with the flu virus to produce vaccines. This process takes about four to six months, and sometimes flu strains mutate so much the shots don’t provide adequate protection.
Experts are still encouraging people to get the vaccine as it is still preventing infection to some degree.

In 2022, Henry Duncan Grants will fund organisations that can demonstrate that they are supporting children and young people (aged 6-26 years) to overcome the impacts of inequality in their lives. In recognition of the historic inequity of funding, Corra will commit around 30% of the fund budget to support organisations that are led by Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities.
There are two priority areas for funding this year:
- Organisations that are supporting children and young people to shape their own lives.
- Organisations that are supporting children and young people to develop skills for the future.
Henry Duncan Grants provide unrestricted funding. You can use the money to deliver any aspect of your work with children and young people, including projects or the general running costs for example paying staff, rent and overheads (heating etc).
The fund will focus on a different theme each year:
- 2022: Supporting children and young people facing challenges
- 2023: Increasing opportunities for disabled people and people with long term conditions
- 2024: Supporting people experiencing inequality or discrimination

Experimental approach to suffusion and backward erosion
MetadataShow full item record
Internal erosion in dams is viewed by engineers as being of particular concern with regard to safety, as there is a danger that there may be no external evidence, or only subtle evidence, that the erosion is taking place. A dam may breach within just a few hours of internal erosion becoming apparent. In order to assist in finding a solution to the lack of external evidence, a series of experimental tests was developed. The tests consisted of applying hydraulic stresses to reconstructed consolidated cohesive soils to evaluate different types of internal erosion (i.e. suffusion and backward erosion). Different parameters such as hydraulic gradient, confining pressure and clay content were examined. When the hydraulic gradient was small, it was concluded that the erosion of the structure's clay fraction was due to suffusion. When the hydraulic gradient increased, it was concluded that the sand fraction erosion commencement was due to backward erosion. Moreover, the clay content was found to be an important parameter leading directly to internal erosion. The effects of confinement on internal erosion, unlike suffusion, increased backward erosion.

The University of Liverpool is one of four UK universities that have started work on a research programme which aims to deliver smarter, more reliable sensor based systems.
These are the underlying systems that will determine the future success of ‘smart cities’, the ‘internet of things’, ‘big data’ and ‘self-driving’ vehicles.
The Science of Sensor Systems Software (S4) project brings together researchers from the Universities of Liverpool, Glasgow, St Andrews and Imperial College London with expertise across Computing, Engineering, and Mathematics, together with a range of private and public sector partners.
Sensor system software
S4 aims to develop new principles and techniques for sensor system software that will allow scientists and policymakers to ask deeper questions and be confident in obtaining reliable answers from the ever-expanding networks of sensors.
The project’s outcomes could lead to more robust water networks, more responsive air quality monitoring, reliable autonomous driving, precision manufacturing, and more.
The work, supported by a grant of nearly £4.2m from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), brings together world-leading research expertise in sensor software, formal modelling and verification, network deployment, autonomy, uncertainty, and programming.
A number of companies and scientific organisations are also involved, including ABB, British Geological Survey, CENSIS, Freescale, Rolls-Royce, Thales and Transport Scotland.
Liverpool’s contribution to the S4 activity, led by Professor Michael Fisher from the University’s Department of Computer Science, has a particular focus on formal methods, programming, and analysis of sensor networks.
Autonomy and Verification Lab
Professor Fisher said: “This is an exciting and important activity, complementing and extending our research on analysis and programming at the Autonomy and Verification Lab within the Department of Computer Science. “
“Working with internationally leading researchers from Glasgow, Imperial and St. Andrews we will be able to pursue broader and more ambitious targets and so help develop reliable, effective, and flexible sensor network solutions for use in practice.”
Professor Muffy Calder, head of the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Glasgow, said: “We’re pleased and proud to have won the backing of EPSRC through their Programme Grant scheme for this very exciting project.”
“Although sensors are becoming ever more commonplace in all kinds of devices around us and in our everyday lives, sensors themselves and the environments in which they operate are very uncertain: we don’t have a unifying science to ensure that the systems and the information they provide is resilient, responsive, reliable and robust.”
“By the end of the project the team will have answered a number of fundamental questions about how to design, deploy and reason about sensor based systems, developing new principles, techniques and tools, alongside simulations and physical sensor testbeds for experimentation.”

Six Sigma stands for a strategic and entrepreneurial orientation that increases the performance of processes so that only 3.4 errors per million error possibilities occur.
Lean stands for lean processes and the elimination of waste.
Lean Six Sigma is a business philosophy that consistently involves every employee from the general manager to the worker. The idea is to identify errors and waste in processes, measure them and then systematically eliminate them. A number of quality tools are used for this purpose, including in particular statistical methods.
The method, which can be used to achieve measurable improvements quickly, is based on a standardized five-step approach. Allwell-known Lean Six Sigma companies apply the so-called DMAIC cycle.
The results of a Lean Six Sigma project can be measured in monetary terms. The introduction of Lean Six Sigma usually pays for itself within the first year,i.e. the initial investment is more than compensated for by the benefits achieved.
The implementation of Lean Six Sigma brings measurable benefits to your company. I train and coach your employees. In doing so, I am not a typical teacher, because in addition to training, I take program responsibility and stay by your side until you achieve your goals.arrange conversation
To do this, you need to understand their businessprocesses in detail and come up with scenarios (or use cases) to make theirwork easier.
In many companies, however, digitization is thought of in too technical a way.
Who are your most important users? Users are your customers, employees and suppliers.
In what typical situations do you want to give your users a unique digital experience?
What information does the user need in these situations?
What should the user be able to do in these situations? What options for action should he have?
How can you provide ALL information and ALL action options to your users with a unique experience?
What does this new digital experience make possible? How can the benefits be quantified?
Together with you, I develop the digitization strategythat gives you the greatest possible competitive advantage. We base ourapproach on practical experience and create tangible added value for customers,employees and suppliers.
Your company will become more profitable and more crisis-proof.
With the introduction of a management and control system you increase the quality of key figures, reports and meetings and permanently increase the efficiency of your company. You can achieve this with your Management Operating System (MOS).
In addition, the application of this framework brings about a change in behavior: leaders and managers actively work together, live transparency and create a culture in which impending losses are recognized early on and problems are solved sustainably. Constant troubleshooting is no longer necessary.
The approach originally comes from store floor management,but is now implemented throughout the company. It is particularly suitable for production companies, but also for logistics companies and organizations that provide standardized services on a large scale.
When building your management operating system, itis important to focus on what is essential and effective for your business. I involve your managers and employees in this process and bring in my experience from different industries.
In this way, you receive a Management Operating System that precisely meets your specific requirements and provides you with an effective management tool. | <urn:uuid:c236655d-1580-44d2-90bf-2cfe5a74a178> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.lueftl.com/english/services | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.944177 | 653 | 2.09375 | 2 |

Only Carpatho-Ukraine stamp
Look for full mint panes of 50 of the United States 16¢ Great Seal of the United States airmail special delivery stamp of 1936 (Scott CE2).
The 3-koruna View of Jasina stamp (Czechoslovakia Scott 254B) was the only stamp issued by Carpatho-Ukraine before it was gobbled up by Hungary.
Czechoslovakia — Once upon a time, in the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue there was a stamp-issuing entity named Carpatho-Ukraine with a single stamp listed under it.
Between World War I and World War II, Czechoslovakia comprised three nations: the Czechs, the Slovaks, and the Ruthenians (also known as Rusyns). The territory inhabited by the Ruthenians, who are a Ukrainian people, was known as Carpatho-Ukraine.
After Czechoslovakia was sold out to Nazi Germany by Great Britain and France with the Munich Agreement of Sept. 29, 1938, the Slovaks and Ruthenians saw the writing on the wall and demanded more autonomy from Prague.
As Germany prepared to annex what was left of the Czech lands, both Slovakia and Carpatho-Ukraine declared their independence March 15, 1939.
However, Carpatho-Ukraine was quickly invaded and occupied by Hungary, having time to issue but a single 3-koruna View of Jasina stamp. The stamp is inscribed “Cesko-Slovensko” in Latin letters and “Carpatho-Ukraine” in Cyrillic letters.
After the war, Carpatho-Ukraine was annexed by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and became part of the Soviet Union. Today it is part of independent Ukraine.
At some point, the Scott editors decided that because the stamp was also sold in Prague, it should be listed under Czechoslovakia, so Carpatho-Ukraine Scott 1 became Czechoslovakia Scott 254B.
However, you will still find it in older collections of No. 1s of the world. The stamp is popular with both Czech and Ukrainian collectors.
The Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue of Stamps and Covers 1840-1940 values the stamp in mint never-hinged condition at $25, and it is a good buy at that price.
A Linn’s editor did not find this week’s recommended stamps on ZillionsofStamps.com.
Tip of the week
United States — Airmail special delivery stamps are designed to pay both the basic airmail postage rate and the special delivery fee with a single stamp. The United States issued only two such stamps.
The 16¢ red and blue Great Seal of the United States airmail special delivery stamp (Scott CE2), issued Feb. 10, 1936, has one of the most eye-catching color and design combinations found on a U.S. stamp.
Nearly 80 years after it was issued, the stamp remains very inexpensive, valued at just 60¢ in mint never-hinged condition in the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers. However, the stamps were issued in panes of 50, and position pieces with marginal markings from the panes have considerably more catalog value. And there are still intact mint panes of 50 being offered for sale.
We think that the mint pane of 50 is a good buy in the $100 to $150 price range and is a better buy than the individual position pieces. — H.G. & R.M.

What Is Myopia Control?
Although an outright cure for nearsightedness has not been discovered, your eye doctor can now offer a number of treatments that may be able to slow the progression of myopia. These treatments can induce changes in the structure and focusing of the eye to reduce stress and fatigue associated with the development and progression of nearsightedness.
Why should you be interested in myopia control? Because slowing the progression of myopia may keep your child from developing high levels of nearsightedness that require thick, corrective eyeglasses and have been associated with serious eye problems later in life, such as early cataracts or even a detached retina.
Currently, four types of treatment are showing promise for controlling myopia:
• Atropine eye drops
• Multifocal contact lenses
• Orthokeratology (“ortho-k”)
• Multifocal eyeglasses
The Alamo Eye Care is proud to offer myopia management options.

A new hiking challenge launched in the Boundary is motivating residents, as well as visitors to the area, to get outside, explore local trails, have fun and win some prizes along the way.
To celebrate this year’s 125th anniversary of Grand Forks, the ‘Hike our Story’ Challenge is a collaboration between outdoor enthusiasts from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary’s Recreation Commission and The Grand Forks Community Trails Society.
Their collective aim is to empower people through connectivity to nature and build an appreciation of Indigenous heritage.
By the end of June, when the Challenge has run its course, the hope is that all participants will have discovered new routes as well as the heritage behind them by walking in the footsteps of others who have come before.
With many local sponsors on board providing weekly prizes, it’s also hoped that Boundary businesses sponsoring the event will get a piece of the action and benefit from the subsequent footfall.
“This initiative is going to put more boots on the ground and help increase the visibility of our local businesses and trails which are packed full of history as well as natural beauty,” says Melina Van Hoogevest, RDKB’s Recreation Supervisor at Grand Forks and District Recreation.
“For many, walking is fantastic for mindfulness, can become a fitness catalyst, and provide ‘me time’, health benefits or an opportunity to socialise. It can be a great stress reliever, an escape from the grind or a way to walk right into the hiking community to see where it takes you. "
"Whether you choose to do one or all of the ‘Hike Our Story’ trails over the next couple of months, you’ll discover so much more than you’d ever expect,” she adds.
Nine mini hiking adventures, varying in difficulty, length and terrain, span the team’s favourite trails in Christina Lake (2), Grand Forks (6) and Phoenix (1). Described and featured on www.rdkb.com, trails can be accessed and assessed for suitability ahead of time. With a broad mix of easy, moderate and hard grades there will be a trail to suit those new to the benefits of walking as well as the seasoned hiker.
“Some are a grind and have steep climbs while others are short, level or more family-friendly,” says Michelle Millette, Grand Forks Community Trails Society Vice-President.
“The hiking challenge incorporates iconic views, breathtaking vistas and spectacular sights. Some trails are stroller and wheelchair friendly, some are suitable for cyclists, and others pass by great swimming spots, a waterfall to admire or will take you through natural forest and giant cedars. On others watch out for osprey, eagles, historical relics, and indigenous artifacts!” she adds.
Giving an additional reason to participate, QR codes on each trail are waiting to be discovered and will unlock the possibility to win weekly gift cards courtesy of Thistle Pot Gifts Ltd,. Fresh Tracks Outdoors Club, The Wooden Spoon - Bistro & Bake Shop, Seasons Outdoors, Work n Play Clothing, Pharmasave Grand Forks, Grand Forks B.C. Community Trails, Grand Forks & District Recreation, Boundary Country Regional Chamber of Commerce. One lucky hiker will win the Wildways Adventure Sports grand prize.

In our first article we discussed 7 ways to winterize your Vancouver Island home this winter. Now it?s time to consider the next 7 ways in this series.
No matter how much we want to pretend it isn?t, winter is just around the corner and yes, it?s time to get out the checklists to get your home ready for the blustery winter winds we all expect here on Vancouver Island. Likely you?ve heard that the Farmer?s Almanac is calling for one of the coldest winters on record here, so we should expect chilly rainstorms, and more than usual snow too
As heating bills continue to skyrocket, a growing number of homeowners are turning to more cost-efficient ways to heat their homes. When the time comes to replace your boiler, or you're simply fed up with the constant price hikes, energy efficiency should be your number-one priority. Solid-fuel heating systems have soared in popularity in recent years as a result, since they are vastly more cost-effective to run. However, overhauling your central heating system is not a project to take lightly, since the installation costs and labour required are often expensive and complicated.
What if we told you that you could heat and cool your home or office 24 hours a day with a free energy source that was located just below your feet? If that sounds too good to be true, let us introduce you to the wonders of Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs). How Geothermal Exchange Systems […]

The consequences of colonialism continue to affect the political life of the African continent.
Declarations of independence since 1920 that have received limited or no international recognition. Not including states that have since gained recognition.
Rebelling against Spanish colonial rule as well as the Moroccan sultan, the Riffans established a modern republic and sought international recognition. They were finally defeated by the Spanish Army’s tanks, aircraft, and chemical weapons. Calls for Riffan independence have resurged in 2013.
SAHRAWI ARAB DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
De facto controlling the easternmost slice of the country, the Polisario guerillas have laid claim to all of Western Sahara and fought the Moroccan Army since 1976.
Founded by an alliance of Islamists and rebelling Touaregs, the sharia-run country fell to internal conflicts and disintegrated after three months of independence.
REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA
Attempting to secede from Nigeria in 1967, the fledgling state was besieged for two and a half years. Upon surrendering, nearly two million people had starved to death. This was Africa’s first televised famine and cemented the image of “starving African children” to many Westerners.
REPUBLIC OF BENIN
19 SEPTEMBER 1967
Conquered by Biafran forces in the early stages of the Biafran war, this puppet state not to be confused with the other Republic of Benin, founded in 1960 and still existing – was hurriedly declared while already on the retreat and overrun by Nigerian forces later the same day, arguably making it the world’s shortest-lived state.
THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF AMBAZONIA
Through decades of tension between French- and English-speaking regions of Cameroon, the Republic of Ambazonia was formally declared in 1984, 2006 and 2017. It has remained mainly a legal battle, English-speaking lawyers and judges challenging the constitution,
REPUBLIC OF CABINDA
At Angola’s independence in 1975, the three major liberation movements were invited to talks but not the fourth operating in the exclave of Cabinda. Subsequently, Cab-indan independence was declared. Suppressed by the Angolan Army in 1976, the movement fought a guerilla war until 2006 and still operates a government in exile.
REPUBLIC OF LOGONE
Proclaimed by Muslim rebels in the Central African Republic, political analysts see the declaration of independence as a bargaining chip in negotiations for autonomy rather than a full secessionist movement
In 1965 the colonial administration of British Southern Rhodesia, fearing a Black majority rule preemptively declared independence from the UK and in 1970 declared itself a republic. After a 15-year war, the country was internationally recognized as Zimbabwe, led by Prime Minister Robert Mugabe.
The only land outside Antarctica claimed by no nation, this patch of desert has been “claimed” as a sovereign state by several visiting individuals. None have gained any form of international recognition.
REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND
Independent for five days in 1960 before joining with Somalia, Somaliland again declared independence in 1991 during the collapse of the Somali state. It remains a stable democracy with diplomatic missions in several Western nations, lobbying for international recognition.
REPUBLIC OF JUBALAND
During the Somali Civil War, warlord Mohammed Said Hersi Morgan declared Jubaland independent with himself as president. It was overrun 9 months later.
REPUBLIC OF MARTYAZO
Proclaimed by Hutu secessionists in May 1972, the state was overrun by Tutsi forces a week later. This led to the First Burundian Genocide, leaving 80,000-210,000 Hutus brutally killed.
STATE OF KATANGA
Supported by Belgian troops, the copper, gold and uranium-rich province seceded from Congo upon independence in 1960. It surrendered after UN troops intervened on the Congolese side. Among the casualties were UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, killed in a suspicious plane crash on his way to negotiate a cease-fire
South Kasai seceded from Congo during its collapse into civil war immediately after independence in 1960. It rejoined after a coup d’etat two years later.
REPUBLIC OF ANJOUAN
Dissatisfied with the Comorian government, the island of Anjouan seceded in 1997. It rejoined in 2002 after being granted autonomy, only to secede again right before the elected president’s five-year term ended. He was ousted by the Comorian Army. The neighboring island of Mohdli also seceded in 1997, but undramatically rejoined Comoros in 1998.
EMIRATE OF CYRENAICA
Recognised by the UK only, Emir Sayyid Idris proclaimed his emirate a sovereign state in 1949. The UN, however, would only support and independent Libya incorporating all regions of the former colony, and in 1951 the Kingdom of Libya was formed.
REPUBLIC OF TRANSKEI
REPUBLIC OF BOPHUTHATSWANA
REPUBLIC OF VENDA
REPUBLIC OF CISKEI
As early as 1913, the British colonial administration in South Africa had established “reserves” for its Native inhabitants. During the Apartheid regime, ten such Bantustan was established as segregated Black “homelands” with varying degrees of autonomy.
Four of them, the so-called TBVC-states, was granted full independence. This stripped its inhabitants – often relocated from or working and living in other parts of South Africa – of their South African citizenship and justified the regime’s negligence of utilities and healthcare in
the regions. Unlike in South Africa, gambling and striptease were legalized in the Bantustans, bringing some revenue.
None of the nominally independent Bantustans were internationally recognized by any other country than South Africa. They were all dissolved when Apartheid ended in 1994. | <urn:uuid:14cf0303-d634-41ab-b9b9-e3d60a92d182> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.surveillanceghana.com/former-and-current-unrecognised-states-in-africa/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.948812 | 1,381 | 3.65625 | 4 |
But I'll add a tuthree links, which I enjoyed recently and you might too. They have been cluttering up the launch-pad here at Blob Central because I couldn't think of anything clever to say about them.
- Robert Trivers is someone who has had a lot more than three good ideas in science. In the early 1970s, when he was just turning 30, he turned out a series of extraordinary theoretical papers applying genetics to behaviour. When I was in graduate school ten years later the ground was still reverberating for us eco- evo- etho-biologists in the basement of 2 Cummington St, Boston University. He's just issued a mighty slag-fest, giving his candid if catty opinion on the giant shoulders [Gould, Lewontin, Hamilton, Williams] of the field who were a little older than him. I dunno if these big cheeses still feature in the curriculum nowadays, so I don't know how relevant this will be to anyone under the age of 50 and/or who isn't an evolutionary biologist.
- Paul Bloom is an articulaterudite psychology professor from Yale. His research focuses of how the infant develops into the thinking child. It's amazing what you can do if you ask the right questions: those that can be answered with science. You can find his complete Psychology 101 course on the web if you look. It was an early example of putting the performances of the best university professors out there for we the masses. That course is very interesting and I got through about one third before I started generating web[lob]-content myself - far too busy now. Here's a short hour on some universally interesting topics: compassion, racism and sex. Don't have an hour? Try 4 minutes of the Socratic method on your stroppy teenage children.
- That led me, probably via the youtube side bar, to an hour of Steven Pinker, whom we met before as recognising The Curse of Knowledge. Pinker is a professor at Harvard who has published several profound but accessible books about language and other aspects of human behavior. Here he is using language as window on the human mind. Brilliant: you'll feel cleverer for watching.
- Last June, I touched briefly on trolleyology: a key set of gedankenexperimenten, thought experiments, which get to the heart of utilitarian philosophy. Satire has a way of exposing things that we know to be true to the light of an alternative view-point. The best satire adds meat to the debate.

Welcome to another Jaggy’s Corner where I talk about all things pertaining to video games. And this week is an interesting topic, to say the least. Endeavor is the first video game approved by the FDA on patients with ADHD.
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
I first discovered the video game prescription through an article published by The Verge earlier this week.
Let’s Talk About Video Games and Health
At first, when I stumbled across this article, I was taken aback. It seemed weird to me that a video game could be medically prescribed. However, as I dove down my mental gymnastic roads, I was reminded of an event from a long time ago. Someone I knew was attending a therapy session where a game was used to test reaction time and focus. It was sorta like the old Mavis Beacon typing game where many of us learned how to touch type. (That said, the program looks drastically different from when I used it). Anyways, the person was required to press certain letters as they came down. And as I remembered this event in my history, I thought about the fact that video games COULD very much have an impact on our learning abilities. The idea isn’t new. I had just forgotten about it.
Fast forward to 2017 where a man by the name of Adam Gazzaley set out to find solutions for people suffering from different mental ailments without the use of pills. He created a game called Neuroracer which was the first rendition of a video game that could help patients with mental disorders. Adam Gazzaley went on to create Akili Interactive where he and his colleagues researched better ways of helping patients. The company updated Neuroracer to become Endeavor, which is now the topic of discussion by many gaming media sites. The reason? Endeavor is now an FDA approved prescription but, this brings up a load of follow-up questions.
Questions about Prescription Video Games
Let us begin with some of my immediate questions like:
- How much does this prescription cost?
- Is it only available in the US?
- Does the prescription purchase the game itself or just the right to buy it from a retailer?
- Will retailers be required to document ‘medical information’ that needs to be forwarded back to health care professionals?
- Is it available on multiple platforms or just tablets?
- What if the patient doesn’t have a tablet? Will that be provided?
- Will Endeavor be covered by insurance?
- Can a person buy this game without a prescription?
- What if the game is pirated?
- Do other games have similar traits that can help patients?
My list isn’t exactly exhaustive, and from looking at the website, it’s hard to tell what the cost would be. Even then, I’m not sure where the game would be available or if it is digital only.
I’m also curious about the studies conducted. The statistics shown are quite low in sample size, which concerns me greatly. I mean, does this speak to the greater idea that adults still battle with the idea that video gaming can lead to careers or help their children with confidence? Maybe people are generally against the idea that video gaming can be beneficial despite the loads of evidence that supports the idea? Like the money raised for St. Jude’s, Trevor Project, Breast Cancer Research, Doctors without Borders, and other charities. I mean, there might be parents that wouldn’t like doctors to prescribe a video game, but who knows? Times are changing.
As I said, I have many questions, and while many people are in the same boat as I am, we will just have to keep an eye open on the topic. I remain positive about this idea.
Those of you that are interested in taking a look at some source material on the subject, here is a shortlist:
- The first App to be FDA approved (Not a video game)
- Neuroracer – the first instance of Endeavor
- Medium Article about Video Games Used to Treat Patients
- Akili Interactive Website
- Clinical Trials Website
- FDA Approval Article
- Articles from The Verge, CNN Health, and Wired from this week
Final Thoughts on Endeavor
I feel like this is only the beginning. While medication can certainly help a lot of ailments of the body and the mind, I believe that video games can do more than just entertain people. We live in a digital age where almost everyone is using the internet. Plus, anyone that has a phone likely plays some form of video game as an escape from life. So, we’ll see what happens with Endeavor.
Overall, I’m glad that the FDA has approved another treatment option for ADHD because I think alternative methods of helping people can be valuable – and with less side effects! Though, I hope some of the questions listed above are answered.
I don’t know about our readers but I will be keeping an eye out. That said, I’d love to start a dialogue about this topic. What do you think about being prescribed a video game? Let me know on social media or in the comments below!

Explaining photography is just like explaining an art form, and talented photographers frequently display their body of work much as painters do with their canvases. Today’s organizations, including business, scientific research, screenwriting, apparel, attractions, advertising, etc., use photography. Previously, city street photography, street art photography, and street portrait photography all contained different techniques for capturing the images. Large landscapes, or areas with multiple aspects to them, were difficult to photograph because the photographer would have to decide what they wanted to focus on before taking the shot. If the picture was centered around a specific street, the camera would have to be positioned in a way that is able to capture the entirety of the street and its aspects in one shot. Amir Chodorov has since come up with a relatively new and extraordinary way to take large photos such as these, and incorporate all of the desired aspects without compromising anything. His technique allows for a wide variety of particular characteristics to be featured in the photo, whilst also capturing the complete attention of the eye of the viewer. His trademark, branded “wholeness photography” puts emphasis on just that: the wholeness of the photo. As the different frames are pieced together, Chodorov is able to add the pictures of the same view to the one photo, and perfect his masterpiece with never-before-seen accuracy. A great example of this would be the usage of this technique in his city street photography, street portrait photography, and street art photography. In a city, naturally, there are an infinite amount of things happening at once. Different art on the wall, people walking swiftly through the city streets, birds flying by, clouds moving from one place to another, and other endless possibilities that make it difficult to get a good shot. In a desired photograph, the photographer can only hope to capture a beautiful moment where all of these aspects align and are in just the right amount of sync with one another to form an image that encapsulates this. When one person is walking by and they emit a particular color scheme, it fosters all sorts of inspirations for one with a creative eye such as Chodorov’s. These aspects, such as color schemes, other movements, art, and more, will all be taken into consideration during the careful planning and building of the final photograph. It is in Chodorov’s hands (and most importantly, eyes) to pick just the right compilation of photos that capture the underlying beauty in the city streets. The thought process behind Chodorov’s technique is explained by his aim to break through our eyes ‘attention barrier’, which is essentially our brain’s way of filtering through the most important factors that our eyes register. Given that our brain’s mental picture is unable to give us a complete view of all the entities together, complexity and sensory overload classify nearly every visual environment. In regular photographs, we may only focus on one specific group of people or a particular building, but with the “wholeness photography” technique, this can all be seen at once. Making sure our eyes see everything, our brains register everything, and our emotions feel everything, makes these photographs infinitely more special than others. By breaking through this barrier, at any given time, with any given frame, his photos are able to capture multiple perspectives of what is deemed most relevant to the photo. Over time, these different relevances and times are put together into a type of ‘picture puzzle’ and made to look as if they are all happening at once. For example, in his street portrait photography, Chodorov is able to insert and edit different aspects of photos he has taken to compile a completed product that really incorporates all of the street’s important aspects, including matching color schemes and continuing city motifs that really upgrade the quality of the photo. When there is so much complexity to a piece, one can’t help but want to stare at it for hours and visually dissect it to the point where the beauty is properly understood. This technique may seem tedious, but in reality, Chodorov’s hard work on each one of the pieces that use his technique, be it street photography or otherwise, is what produces such magnificent results. Amir explains his process by dividing it up into three different insights, the execution, and the final phase of his work. Firstly, he specifies that the shots carefully chosen for the given photograph come from his own mind rather than the camera’s viewfinder. He explains that the viewfinder, and in general letting the camera decide on the point for you, takes away from the experience of the photograph itself. The human eye, and especially the eye of a trained photographer, can spot a special moment much better. Second, he spends some time in the location before the shooting, to fully adjust and carefully study the actual objects, including line shape, form, and color pigments. People, religion, culture, and energy all contribute to an emotionally stimulating environment. At the end of the day, these intricate aspects of his work are what make the complete photograph so unique, so they must be thoughtfully considered. Chodorov explains that finding the best point of view that encompasses all objects at once is the third key insight he uses to sufficiently prep and polish the upcoming final product. This point of view is exceptionally important because Chodorovs personal insight is put into every single one of his photographs, and his specific point of view is a large part of that. All of these processes together are integrated into one another and form the final product, known as ‘wholeness photography’. This technique, unique to Chodorov, is an exceptionally creative and innovative part of modern-day photography.
Street photography at its core refers to photographs taken in public surroundings. It’s often done without the knowledge or consent of the photographed persons. While this may sound like problem for some, it’s one of its fundamental elements. The ability to take authentic pictures of everyday lives is what give it its unique property.
Street photography differs from other type of photography because it’s not artificially designed or perpetrated in advance. This is crucial for a photographer trying to capture real moments. It’s there to showcase candid views of the general population which otherwise cannot be shown through organized photoshoots.
When cameras first appeared in public, many photographers used to take pictures of streets. Some however did not define themselves as true street photographers. Some, like Berenice Abbot for example, took pictures of New York City’s architecture in the 1930’s. Those were intended to show the contrast between light and dark.
Only after cooperation between 19th century painters and photographers did the concept of urban street photography really come to life. This resulted in some early photographers attempting to capture people walking on the streets. Charles Nègre for example succeeded with this, however with some troubles with blurring.
It was at this period between the first and second world wars that street photography had its first signs of booming. This period was marked by economic downturns which affected hundreds of millions across the world. This provided an ideal opportunity for urban street photography to catch a glimpse of real, intimate poverty.
Famous photographers such as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange greatly influenced the field by documenting during the Great Recession. For example, Migrant Mother, taken by Lange, depicts a destitute mother with her kids. This picture came to symbolize the Great Recession and facilitated the popularity of the newly born field.
After World War II
After the war, street photography started showing its ability to document entire cultures in a candid manner. These can be clearly seen in works done by several photographers such as Roy DeCarava, Helen Levitt, and Robert Frank. They focused on documenting the daily lives of Americans and used it to showcase their cultures.
This period is often characterized by a more vulgar, irreverent approach to photography, through unconventional perspectives. This contrasts with earlier trends that supported the idea of “straight photography”. This approach promoted basic use of camera capabilities and more old – fashioned techniques.
DeCarava for example focused on documenting the daily lives of the citizens of Harlem in New York City. This largely African – American populated neighborhood allowed for a peak at the community’s great jazz musicians through photos. His photographs allowed for an inside view to a largely closed off part of the population.
Late 20’s Century
The trend of favoring realism as opposed to beauty in street photography continued in the 1960’s and1970’s and onwards. This was brought by several renowned photographers such as Garry Winograd, Lee Friedlander, and Diane Arbus. They all chose to depict American life as it truly looks, without any unnecessary cover – ups.
Arbus attempted to capture the setting of marginalized societies. She dramatically presented reality without any sort of filtering of the content to appease the audience. She aimed at bringing some otherwise neglected and socially shunned figures of the public into the forefront. This was her way of breaking barriers between societies.
Urban street photography is showing sign of becoming more and more relevant in the coming decades. With human societies becoming more and more urbanized, the opportunities for capturing authentic moments become more frequent. Mega cities now host millions of people, each carrying their own stories and backgrounds.
With the recent global crises and social distancing resulting from technology, these moments could be amplified with photographs. Photography studios race to capture incidents of social injustices and economic inequality. These provide powerful spectacles that could potentially send messages across the entire world.
This is in stark contrast with earlier periods when photographers did not try to send any sort of messages through their work. Today, many understand that candid street photography has a role in shaping the way our society behaves and thinks. With social media ever on the rise, photos become more and more relevant in that matter.
Street Photography’s significance
Throughout the years the significance of street photography has been widely reevaluated in contrast with its beginnings. This is especially relevant in the historical sense. while photos of famous politicians and wars show a grander picture, street photography can document historical moments tied to the common man.
This has an ever – lasting effect on the way we view different historical time periods. Historical revisionism can come in many forms, and photography is by no means an exception. A time that might otherwise be depicted as peaceful and simple, can have its image shattered by a single street photograph showing its uglier facets.
However, this could go the other way. A period in history that might be perceived as full of negativity and suffering can be shown to contain some positive moments. Kids playing soccer in poor favelas, a couple embracing during wartime, and other moments that never would have seen the light of day were they not photographed.
Professional Street Photographer at Your Disposal
Capturing real moments is not a job for amateurs. Timing, steady hands and proper equipment are needed for optimal results. This is where Amir Chodorov comes in.
Amir Chodorov is an expert street photographer who developed special methods for photographing. By taking multiple pictures of the same view, (potentially up to a 1,000) he can create collages to make the pictures seems much bigger. These accurately portray the magnificence of a particular view which otherwise cannot be depicted with a standard photograph. | <urn:uuid:7a3f8611-bef1-4375-b5e7-6f7644ed0a1e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.amirchodorov.com/pictures-of-jerusalem-9-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.962706 | 2,353 | 2.21875 | 2 |
Crummer’s Dr. Pete Wants to Help You Find Your Life’s Purpose
For Crummer Entrepreneur-in-Residence Pete McAlindon, helping connect people with their purpose and others is his ikigai.
By Laura J. Cole ’04 ’08MLS
If you’ve ever had a class or a conversation with Dr. Pete McAlindon, you’ve likely heard him mention the concept of ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy). The Japanese phrase combines the word “iki,” which means life, with “gai,” or worth.
“It’s the lifelong search for one’s purpose,” said Dr. McAlindon, Crummer’s entrepreneur-in-residence. “And there is absolutely nothing more rewarding than watching someone figure out their ikigai right before your eyes.”
McAlindon has been a serial entrepreneur in Orlando for 26 years, but the journey of finding his own ikigai came while testing the orbiTouch, an ergonomic keyless keyboard and mouse that requires no wrist motion or fingers to operate. The idea for the National Science Foundation-funded technology came to him while he was still a grad student.
“One morning, I flipped two cereal bowls upside down and thought to myself, if I can somehow get these to type, it would help so many of us in the lab,” he said. “Several people had the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome.”
McAlindon didn’t realize how many people the orbiTouch would help until he began meeting and hearing from the people whose life it changed.
One was Debra, a woman in her early 60s who participated in his initial study. She informed McAlindon that she had been a typing instructor for 30 years and wanted to start writing again, so he sat her down, explained how the research protocol worked, and told her to stop if she felt any pain.
A few minutes later, he looked over and saw tears streaming down her face. He walked over to remind her she was supposed to stop if she felt pain. Debra looked up at McAlindon and showed him both of her wrists that had visible scars from the multiple surgeries she’d had for carpal tunnel.
“ ‘I have not been able to comfortably type with a keyboard the way that I have with this in a long time,’ ” McAlindon recalls her saying to him. “Most people don’t think twice about using a keyboard, but here’s Debra who taught typing for a living, and hadn’t been able to use the simple device in years—something most of us take for granted. You talk about those things that really begin to strengthen your ikigai—it’s people like Debra.”
The other was a little girl named Amy, who has cerebral palsy and low vision. Her occupational therapist sent McAlindon a photo of Amy using the orbiTouch and note thanking him for helping her feel normal in the classroom.
“I was so touched,” he said. “And I began to see what the investors saw and why people stayed in the study. There was something much bigger going on here than learning how to type on a radically different keyboard.”
The thing that was much bigger—helping people with disabilities gain or regain the ability to communicate with others—would become not only the focus of orbiTouch, but inform McAlindon’s ikigai.
Since those early days, the orbiTouch has helped people with prostheses and limited hand and finger mobility as a result of injury, arthritis, and strokes, as well as people who are visually impaired, blind and have autism. The technology has received the daVinci award for design as well as the top honor for accessible technology at the Consumer Electronics Show, and is part of Blue Orb, the tech company McAlindon founded that has received $5 million in angel investment funding for developing computer technology for people with disabilities.
The lessons McAlindon learned during the process of developing the orbiTouch helps drive everything from how he teaches to his role as a meta-mentor, helping connect would-be entrepreneurs with the people who can help turn their idea into a successful business venture.
“When you’re starting any business what you want is for those first few customers to tell a whole bunch of people about your product or service on your behalf, because they want to—not because you have to pay them. That’s really where the magic begins to start,” he said. “Once you have that, my job as a meta-mentor is easy. I help find other mentors for each stage of that entrepreneur’s journey and help manage the mentors.”
One of the many entrepreneurs McAlindon has served as a meta-mentor to is Marcus Brooks ’17MBA.
Brooks had been all set to lead a platoon as an Army officer, but a few weeks before he graduated from West Point, doctors discovered his lower jaw was full of tumors. While other students were preparing to graduate and being sent off to Afghanistan and Iraq, he was undergoing several surgeries to have the tumors removed and have his jaw rebuilt. Soon after, he became one of the founding members of Warrior Center Health, which provides education and training to physicians about treating veterans, their families, and other military personnel, as a way to help his friends and classmates who had gone overseas and returned with mental, physical, and behavioral issues.
After earning a scholarship from the Army, he enrolled at Crummer knowing he wanted to hone his skills as an entrepreneur and network with other like-minded individuals. That’s when he met McAlindon, who teaches courses on starting new ventures, among others.
“Dr. Pete was integral to my Crummer experience,” said Davis, who is currently working with several startups. “He brought in a number of industry experts and other entrepreneurs from the Central Florida area to talk with our classes and provide us with additional challenging opportunities. But he’s also always been available to talk about one-on-one with me, including bringing me into venVelo, which has helped me network tremendously in and around Central Florida.”
As a teacher, co-founder of venVelo, and faculty advisor for Crummer’s Entrepreneurial Scholar of Distinction program, McAlindon continues to strengthen his ikigai by connecting people together, whether through technology for people with disabilities or through networking for people wanting to start or expand their business.
“That’s what I love about Crummer,” McAlindon said. “We’re a magnet for anyone to come in and say, ‘I have an idea, but I’m not sure exactly where to go.’ Well, tell me about your idea. Oh, you need to talk to this person, go speak to that group. Let me introduce you to this person, or come to our mini-MBA program, come to the MBA programs themselves, be part of the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship. We just keep plugging people into the system and helping them find their place in our network. And that’s really what makes the difference.” | <urn:uuid:a6b95f29-f742-446c-accd-0ec96dba7972> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.crummer.rollins.edu/news/crummers-dr-pete-wants-to-help-you-find-your-lifes-purpose/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.980867 | 1,576 | 1.820313 | 2 |
Dear Friends of Saint Ann,
Easter is the greatest miracle of the human race. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the son of the Virgin Mary rose from the death of Good Friday on the Cross, outside Jerusalem in the Holy Land of Palestine. All Christians believe this event and celebrate it with great joy, especially by the celebration of the Eucharist. As you celebrate Lent, Holy Week and Easter, you will be celebrating the Eucharist and the wish of the Risen Lord: “Do this in memory of me.”
Jesus was very moved by a widow who contributed two coins to the Temple in Jerusalem. He said she had given more than all the others who contributed. It was all she had to live on. Saint Paul, who had persecuted the early Christians, was told what he was doing, was done to Jesus. They are the “Body of Christ”, the Church. The Eucharist is the body of Christ, the Risen Lord who shares his life with us.
I am writing on behalf of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. We were founded by Saint Peter Julian Eymard in Paris, France in May, l856. In the United States, we are priests, deacons, and brothers in the province of Saint Ann. There is a history for the Blessed Sacrament’s Community’s devotion to Saint Ann. When the relic destined for Saint Anne de Beaupré in Canada arrived in New York City, a novena was celebrated at Saint Jean Baptiste Church in Manhattan, New York, where the Blessed Sacrament Community reside. Many miracles happened during that novena and for years after. The Congregation asked the Redemptorists for a piece of the relic. From there a portion of the relic is in the shrine of Saint Ann in Cleveland, Ohio. The Blessed Sacrament Community invite you to join us at the Shrine when you are able!
Our mission is to continue the ministry of Saint Peter Julian Eymard. He is the Apostle of the Eucharist. He wrote the Constitutions of 1864. The Congregation updated the Constitutions now called our Rule of Life of 1984 according to the Ecumenical Council of Vatican II in 1962-65. Saint Peter Julian underscored the presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and asked the Congregation to continue proclaiming this presence of the Risen Lord throughout the world. Today this goal has been reached on five continents. Since 1900 the Province of Saint Ann developed provinces in Australia, Africa, Asia and South America.
We are asking for your assistance in continuing our mission in the Province of Saint Ann (United States). Your contribution supports Saint Ann’s Shrine, our priests and brothers in the ministry of parishes, and communities across the United States, including Hawaii.
As we thank you for your generosity, we pray for you and ask God, Jesus, Mary and Saint Ann to give you joy and peace and blessings.
Father Ernest Falardeau, SSS

FAIBLE: Didactics of Computer Science in Building Blocks for Teaching
According to the role and importance of computer science for digitization, computer science is increasingly being introduced as a school subject at secondary schools. This requires a great effort in the rapid expansion of capacities for the qualification of computer science teachers. Currently, there is a high demand for open educational resources on didactics of computer science, which form the core of computer science teacher training courses by linking subject-specific and educational science content and promoting competencies to reconstruct subject-specific content didactically and to prepare it for teaching in schools in a way that is tailored to the needs of the target group.
The goal of the project FAIBLE is to provide open teaching/learning resources for scientific computer science didactics that can be integrated at many different universities, that take into account the heterogeneity of computer science teaching programs, and that can be used flexibly in various teaching scenarios with different links to subject-specific prerequisites and at different levels. For the joint project, topics were therefore agreed upon that all participating chairs of the consortium will integrate into their study programs at different points in the curriculum and in different didactic scenarios.

Goals are like pins marking our progress through the maps of our lives. Sometimes they are big and complicated. In order to meet them, we must break them down into a list of manageable tasks. From this list, we must focus on completing the smaller items first. Doing so will give us a sense of satisfaction; we will have accomplished a part of the bigger goal. It will strengthen our belief in our abilities. This, in turn, shall empower us to go after even bigger goals.

Though “credit score” is a recent phrase, it has been around for quite some time. Many people still don’t know that they have a credit score, which plays an important role in getting a loan sanctioned. A low credit score is a bad mark on your repayment ability, and most probably, your loan application can be rejected due to this. You can apply for bad credit loans online, but you need to compromise on a few things if you opt for this.

When you apply for a personal loan, the lender will check your credit score to understand your repayment ability; a good score is anything above 700. But sometimes, you may not have a good CIBIL score, and that’s when you will opt for a bad credit loan and below are a few reasons why you have to apply for a bad credit loan:
- If you have made defaults in repayment of loans or repeatedly don’t pay your EMI, this will give you a bad credit score, and you will have to apply for a Bad credit loan.
- Repeated rejections on loan applications will also give you a bad credit score, and you will have to apply for a bad credit loan.
- If you have default credit card payments
- If you don’t have a financial record or have never taken a loan can also be a reason for applying for a bad credit loan.
When applying for a personal loan, a good credit score is very important, and if you don’t have that number, you should opt for a bad credit loan, and you can also find a few advantages in this.
Bad credit score? Apply online for a bad credit loan
- You can apply for large amounts
- Your credit score need not be outstanding
- Your loan gets sanctioned faster
- You can apply for bad credit loans online even if you have made defaults in your previous loan payments
Things you need to consider before you apply for a bad credit loan
- You will have to provide collateral to secure a loan, and a default in repayment can make you lose your asset
- You will need to go through loads of paperwork, so be prepared for that
- You will need to agree on the terms set by the lender
- If you fail to repay your bad credit loan, you further damage your already low credit score
The above points are things you need to consider seriously before you apply for a bad credit loan.
A personal loan with a low CIBIL score
Getting a personal loan with your bad credit score will not be easy, but fortunately, some lenders will agree on giving you a loan even with your bad CIBIL score, provided you agree to their terms and conditions. Though you can apply for Bad credit loans online, you should find ways to improve your credit score so that you can get your loan

Faculty and staff at public universities in Virginia face enormous obstacles in forming a union.
RICHMOND-Virginia remains one of the most hostile environments for workers in the United States. One of the biggest challenges to unionization on Virginia college campuses is a state law barring public employees, such as teachers and civil servants, from collective bargaining. That legislation is a part of Virginia’s broader “right to work” framework, which severely limits union activity statewide.
But that hasn’t stopped workers at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), William and Mary, and other universities across the Commonwealth from speaking out against inadequate pay, unstable contracts, and lax responses to the COVID-19 epidemic.
William and Mary’s Worker’s Union
The William and Mary Worker’s Union (WMWU) started when, in the Summer of 2019, the college delayed payment to graduate students in the anthropology department for over a month. The college later claimed this delay was due to a processing error. Initially, the graduate students, who teach classes, conduct research, and assist in academic administration, only wanted greater transparency and consistency in their compensation.
But when the graduate students started organizing, they quickly noticed disparities with other college departments . For example, unlike many STEM programs, theirs didn’t provide health insurance and often paid much less for similar work.
“We began organizing among grad students at the university,” said union president Jasper Conner, “And quickly realized we lacked power to influence the university if we focused only on our issues as graduate workers.”
A Union for Everyone
According to Conner, WMWU now seeks to represent all graduate students, non-tenure faculty, and staff
“All employees who do not have the immediate power to hire and fire people,” Conner said.
Their demands have expanded along with their scope. While in the short term the union is advocating for the rehiring of non-tenure faculty whose contracts were terminated, in the long term they’re seeking better benefits and a living wage for all workers on campus. That includes students, faculty, and staff alike.
At William and Mary, school officials claim that they can neither recognize the union nor respond to its demands under current law, because William and Mary is a public university. According to a public employee policy on the school’s website, “Although W&M employees cannot strike or engage in collective bargaining, they have the ability to promote their interests to the university through other means.”
One of those avenues is the Graduate Student Assembly. The assembly is a school-sanctioned body which gets funding from the administration to represent graduate students. But, Conner says this and other university-endorsed organizations are severely limited.
“The problem is that those bodies can only go so far before stepping on the toes of the administration results in a restriction of their budget,” said Conner.
Fighting for a Fair Contract
In Richmond, adjunct faculty at VCU have been fighting since 2017 against unstable and inadequate working conditions for non-tenure faculty. Their group, VCU Adjuncts Organizing for Fair Pair (VAOFP), began with VCUArts faculty demanding better adjunct rates. But, it expanded this year to include non-tenure faculty from across the university.
VAOFP has seen some success in the past, gaining an $1100 per credit minimum from administration in 2018. This equates to a maximum salary of $19,800 per year. Adjuncts say it’s essentially a full time job without full time benefits.
Now the group is mobilizing to demand a living wage. They also want access to VCU’s healthcare plan and stable contracts for adjunct faculty. Currently, many adjuncts at VCU are on semester contracts, which can be terminated at any time by the administration.
“There’s very little provision in our contracts or elsewhere that we’ll receive any kind of continuous work,” said Rose Szabo, an adjunct instructor at VCU. “Additionally, VCU at any time can decide to cancel our courses without paying us for our work so far.”
According to Szabo, there’s an enormous disconnect between VCU’s treatment of adjunct faculty and their importance on campus.
“VCU has substantially more adjunct and contract faculty than tenure track faculty,” Szabo said.
VCU currently employs 2,158 instructors, of which 1,429 (or 66%) are non-tenure eligible, contract instructors.
Inadequate Responses From College Administration
In 2020, VCUArts released an executive summary of a task force report which they claim meets faculty demands. But, the report didn’t address VAOFP’s key demands for longer contracts and higher base compensation.
The administration’s response has been a point of frustration for Thomas Burkett, an organizer with VAOFP.
“[The report] took multiple years to get out of the Provost’s Office,” Burkett said. “Even what we have now is a redacted version of the research – so we haven’t even seen the full report at this point.”
Representatives of VCU did not respond to requests for an interview in time for publication.
VAOFP encourages supporters to add their name to a petition with their demands. The petition will be delivered to VCU administration on March 4.
Campus Advocacy Across Virginia
Campus labor organization has experienced a resurgence across Virginia in recent years. At George Mason University, the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has not only spoken out against poor working conditions for contract workers there, but also publicly expressed their support for VAOFP.
And in Charlottesville, the United Campus Workers of VA (UCWVA) has called for more stringent COVID-19 protocols at UVA. The university recently experienced a surge in cases. They also worked to grow the union representing health workers in UVA’s hospital system, the largest employer in the city.
Governments Decide Rights of Unions
Fortunately, some of the restrictions on union activity in public colleges will lift soon. Legislation going into effect on May 1, 2021 will allow workers at public universities and other government bodies to collectively bargain. However, that’s only if they can get the consent of local government.
The legislation, introduced by Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D – Prince William), passed early last year. It will require local governments to vote on whether to accept or reject union bids. These bids must be made by over 50 percent of employees working at a public institution.

Today, the Massachusetts legislature became the latest state to successfully pass legislation to enable automatic voter registration (AVR). The bill, passed by both houses of the state legislature, will now head to Governor Charlie Baker following several other procedural votes, which are expected next week. Once he receives the bill, Governor Baker has ten days to sign, veto, or amend the bill. The legislation would allow eligible voters to automatically register to vote when they interact with the Registry of Motor Vehicles or the state’s MassHealth program, unless they choose to opt out.
Should Gov. Baker sign the bill, Massachusetts would the 14th state, plus the District of Columbia, to adopt AVR. Since 2015, states have passed or adopted similar measures that could add millions of eligible voters to the rolls include Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. AVR will also be on the November 2018 ballot in Nevada and possibly Michigan.
“Massachusetts is the latest of a growing number of states that have moved proactively to pass automatic voter registration measures to give more of their citizens a voice in selecting their representatives and the federal, state, and local level,” said Karen Hobert Flynn, president of Common Cause. “Momentum continues to build in states from coast-to-coast to pass automatic voter registration measures in red and blue states alike. Common Cause members and staff have played key roles in moving these measures forward in numerous states, giving more Americans the chance to make their voices heard on Election Day and beyond.”
Advocates and activists hailed the bill’s passage as a positive step toward protecting access to the ballot, improving the accuracy of the voter rolls, and modernizing the state’s elections infrastructure in the face of growing threats.
“Automatic voter registration will make Massachusetts elections more accurate, more secure and more participatory,” said Pam Wilmot, executive director of Common Cause Massachusetts. “This legislation will involves more people in politics and enable them to hold their government accountable, and that’s a win for everyone.”
Massachusetts is one of a number of states where Common Cause has been working to advance automatic voter registration. Common Cause state offices are also leading AVR campaigns in New York, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Hawaii. In recent years, Common Cause has played a key role in passing or enacting AVR reforms in California, Oregon, Connecticut, Colorado, Rhode Island, Illinois Maryland, and Georgia. | <urn:uuid:43b02414-6a57-42a1-ab9b-b679e02ee252> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.commoncause.org/press-release/massachusetts-legislature-passes-automatic-voter-registration/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.9418 | 533 | 1.867188 | 2 |

Nine people died of drug overdoses in Vancouver on Thursday night, nearly all of them on the Downtown Eastside, officials said.
That has emergency responders calling for more access to addiction treatment in order to get those addicted off the street.
Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer compared the nine deaths to the 11 homicides and 15 motor vehicle deaths so far this year.
“Can you imagine nine dying from any other cause in one single day?” Palmer told a news conference.
Addicts are having to wait about nine days to get into a treatment facility in Vancouver, he said, which is too long.
“You lose the window to help within hours,” he said. “We need to help them right away as they are at risk of dying if we don’t help them.”
Mayor Gregor Robertson talked about how harm reduction, such as handing out Naloxone kits, isn’t going to solve this problem.
Providence Crosstown Clinic on West Hastings Street provides hydromorphone to 125 people per day, he said, the only option for replacement therapy to addicts, and more is needed.
“We’ve been treading water for years,” he said. “We have to focus now on the treatment piece.”
Another four people died Thursday after drug use throughout the rest of the province, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. One in Burnaby, two in the Fraser Region and one in northern B.C.
Last month, the provincial government promised $5 million to help paramedics respond faster, as part of its strategy to combat the overdose crisis.
It also announced the opening of a handful of overdose prevention sites in regions with some of the highest overdose deaths rates this year, including Vancouver, Surrey and Victoria.
And earlier this week, B.C. also enacted a ministerial order to allows emergency health services to provide overdose prevention treatment as necessary on an emergency basis.
Vancouver city councillors themselves also hiked property taxes to help fight the local opioid crisis.

What it does
Most members of City commissions and boards are appointed for a fixed number of years, typically four, and their terms expire when that time is up. Under current law, even when the member's term has expired, the member may continue to serve until he or she is reappointed or until a successor takes office. If neither of those events occurs, the member may continue to serve under the expired term indefinitely. Under Proposition B, an amendment to the San Francisco City Charter, members of City boards and commissions whose terms have expired would lose their seats 60 days after the expiration of their term, unless they were reappointed.
Why it is on the ballot
The City of San Francisco has more than 25 City boards and commissions. These include policy and decision-making boards such as the Fire Commission, the Building Inspection Commission and the Police Commission. There are also numerous advisory commissions and boards such as the Urban Forestry Council, the Bicycle Advisory Committee and the Backstreets Business Advisory Board.
Members of these boards and commissions are appointed by the mayor, the Board of Supervisors and other elected officials. The Board of Supervisors must confirm some mayoral appointees. In addition to the mayor and the board, other elected officials, including the public defender, the city attorney, the district attorney, the treasurer and the assessor, can make a few appointments. Some commissioners serve at the pleasure of the appointing official and can be removed at any time. This ensures that the appointee will follow the policies of the elected official. Other appointments are for fixed terms, ensuring that the commissioner will be able to make independent judgments while being protected from political pressures.
Supporters of this measure claim:
- Prop. B would hold appointing officials accountable for making timely appointments to boards and commissions that oversee and set policy for major City agencies and departments. Officials could no longer maintain the status quo by doing nothing.
- This measure would force new mayors to take seriously the process of appointing people once they take office.
- This would permit greater political independence of the commissions by preventing expired terms effectively becoming at-will appointments.
Opponents of this measure claim:
- This measure could result in boards and commissions throughout City government not having sufficient members for a quorum, thus preventing action on important issues. For example, if approved, this measure could lead to the removal of members of the Planning Commission whose terms have expired, thereby preventing the commission from meeting. This could slow the basic functioning of City government.
- In some cases, Prop. B could make it easier for supervisors to block mayoral appointments. The way it is today, a mayor could choose to leave a commissioner in his or her seat past the expiration of a term if the mayor suspected the Board of Supervisors would not approve that commissioner's reappointment.
Prop. B would affect most boards and commissions that oversee City departments and would apply only to members whose terms have expired. In some cases, members of boards and commissions have continued to serve for several years after their terms expired, because the appointing officer did not reappoint the member or did not appoint another member for that seat.
Prop. B would not apply to citizen advisory commissioners (such as the Bicycle Advisory Committee), members of several arts and museum commissions, the Retirement Board, or the Health Service Board. The charter already prohibits members of the Police Commission from serving after a term expires, so those commissioners would not be affected by this measure. It also would not apply to new appointees or to those who resign.
Sometimes appointments languish because busy elected officials have other priorities. It can be time-consuming to find new, qualified people who are willing to serve. But retaining a commissioner in an expired term appointment can also have political motivations. If the term has expired, the supposedly independent commissioner is now effectively serving at the pleasure of the appointer. If the commissioner wishes to be reappointed, he or she had best vote as the appointer wishes.
In rare cases, Prop. B could give greater power to the Board of Supervisors. For example, when the supervisors must confirm a mayoral appointment and the mayor wishes to retain a commissioner whom the supervisors do not want, under current law the mayor could simply allow the commissioner to indefinitely serve after an expired term. Under Prop. B, the mayor would be forced to reappoint the commissioner within 60 days after the term expires and send the appointment to the supervisors to approve or reject, or find a new candidate. This could occur with important policy bodies such as the Board of Appeals, the Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors and the Planning, Port, and Recreation and Park commissions. It is possible that the Board of Supervisors could intentionally reject commissioners to prevent the commission from seating a quorum, which would prevent the commission from meeting at all. Alternatively, if the mayor chose to not appoint new commissioners, the same inability to meet could occur.
This measure is a basic good-government fix of a process that has been abused in the past. While we do not like to see measures that could create unnecessary stalemates, the potential downside of preventing a quorum at a commission could still occur today when commissioners resign and appointing officials are slow to nominate replacements. Ultimately, we think that this measure will encourage the mayor and other officials to focus on reappointments and new appointments. Our City has turned over many aspects of governance to citizen commissioners and thus appointments to those commissions should be made with full recognition of their importance. This measure will help achieve that goal.

Most people infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant in the United States have experienced mild symptoms, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky said on Dec 9.
“The disease is mild,” Walensky told The Associated Press, noting that symptoms include cough, congestion, and fatigue.
No Omicron-related deaths have been reported in the United States or around the world to date. One person in the United States has been hospitalized so far.
The Delta variant still accounts for most cases in the United States, officials say.
About 40 cases have been reported in the United…

Because prevent of one’s Great Recession, college subscription-additionally the student loan borrowing from the bank you to goes with it-could have been losing every year. (Get a hold of Figure step 1.) The new steepest refuses into the the fresh new scholar debt for the past a decade had been at the schools in which subscription has also been declining: for-money universities. Such colleges, which in fact had person easily just before and you will inside the market meltdown-apparently, by using pushy recruiting plans and you may delivering an inferior knowledge, because bulk of their cash are generally intent on revenue-shrank given that discount recovered over the past years.
Nevertheless the lowering of new beginner personal debt about to own-cash university business has corrected, based on TCF’s studies off federal student loan studies due to –20 instructional 12 months. A great eight per cent increase in government student loan disbursements-that is, in the buck value of the funds awarded to youngsters-within for-cash universities ’s the first 12 months-over-season increase because 2010. At nonprofit and you will social colleges, conversely, credit went on a pattern regarding modest refuses, shedding 2 per cent and you may step three %, correspondingly.
The newest Beginner Debt at Stealth To possess-Earnings Surges Up
The greatest upsurge in new beginner financial obligation is at Huge Canyon School, where loan disbursements increased because of the $119 million as a result of elizabeth period the earlier year, a bounce that’s more than twice that any other university in the united kingdom. Grand Canyon is actually a covert to own-profit; which is, it has been product sales alone because a nonprofit college, nevertheless You.S. Agency away from Education this past year discover the college become a great “attentive buyer” off an as-money organization that is along with work at from the school’s chairman. The new Ceo had boasted to shareholders one “Getting out there so many times 1 day claiming ‘the audience is nonprofit’ has had a direct impact.”
Grand Canyon, and therefore stated joining 90 payday loans open sunday in Sherman Texas,253 pupils in the slide off 2018, uses less than 20 dollars of any university fees buck into the training. The school enjoys an actual university when you look at the Phoenix, but the almost all the youngsters, pre-pandemic, have been signed up exclusively on line (94 per cent of the 36,114 scholar pupils and 67 per cent of their 54,139 undergraduates). While the you to beginner may receive several loans (along with a loan so you can a father), the new readily available studies to your full dollars frequency and you may quantity of fund do not let getting analysis of one’s quantity of unique consumers therefore the numbers borrowed. Huge Canyon people lent 25 % a lot more cash, but got out only eleven per cent a lot more financing, indicating the increase in total financial obligation stems from several items: a lot more students is borrowing from the bank, and you can college students are borrowing from the bank so much more.
Other schools with sketchy states nonprofit condition in addition to expanded the beginner loans. Stevens Henager College or university and its own online Freedom University paid fifteen % way more education loan dollars so far it academic year compared to the a year ago. Credit on Keiser College flower several per cent, while mortgage volume at the Best Scientific Academy increased a far more small six percent.
Development in On the web Colleges and you can Applications
Of one’s large, well-known colleges signing up pupils inside the entirely online programs, Florida-mainly based Complete Cruise University, owned by a personal security company, encountered the large financing growth rate, a good 34 per cent rise in mortgage bucks and you may thirty-two per cent a whole lot more loans-suggesting an enormous upward increase in registration. The to own-cash College of Phoenix and Strayer College each other increased the financing within a great a dozen percent video, nonprofit Independence College or university showed a 10 percent rise in financing volume, societal Arizona Condition College enhanced college student credit by the 8 percent, and for-cash Walden University’s mortgage regularity increased from the dos percent. Brand new nonprofit Southern area New Hampshire College or university, with sex rapidly nowadays, had good 5 % reduced total of mortgage frequency, if you’re total education loan money during the nonprofit West Governors University, for-money Capella School, and you can personal-for-cash Purdue All over the world had been fundamentally unchanged. | <urn:uuid:38f926e5-6bd8-4c6a-8c5b-ce17b6a9cb49> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://butik.golfrent.eu/pupil-loans-is-flooding-in-the-having-profit/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.945584 | 954 | 1.632813 | 2 |
|SARA project started in August 2003 with 5 partners having complementary expertise – Thessaloniki Technology Park, Greece (Coordinator) and Eddleston Innovation Ltd., Scotland, Andalusian Institute of Technology, Spain, TTZ (Centre for Technology Transfer), Germany and ARC Fund as partners. The project duration is 30 months.
SARA’s mission is to work towards lowering unemployment by assisting it through improving the competitiveness of companies in the agro-food sector in areas of high unemployment thus following the current Community policies on supporting SME growth by innovation, clustering and regional development.
Four proven advanced tools already developed by 3 project partners (Supply Chain Management & Knowledge Tool and Cluster Building Instruments developed by EIL, Eddleston Innovation, Edinburgh, SME Networking Tool - TTP, Thessaloniki, Value Engineering Analysis - IAT, Sevill) will be integrated into a single toolbox and these techniques will be transferred to a carefully designed and supported innovation and demonstration programme in order to support SMEs networks and public agencies in rapidly diffusing the use of the integrated toolbox in the four target regions in Bulgaria (Plovdiv region), Greece (Thessaloniki), Spain (Seville) and Germany Bremerhaven. It will work ‘hands-on’ with SMEs in target regions providing advice on system integration and configuration and training in the use of the SARA toolkit.
The project will negotiate concrete process and output targets in each target region with its SME network and public agency partners. These targets will include jobs conserved, jobs created and value added by knowledge management.
At the end of the project partners expect both the SME network and the regional development agency in each beneficiary region will prepare practical plan to roll out the use of the toolkit across agro-food SMEs in their region. Over a longer time-scale, and beyond the life of the project, we anticipate that some of the revised institutional arrangements supporting new regional systems of innovation will be planned or in place.
The overall result will be an enhanced employment and economic growth in a sector crucial to the welfare of the four target regions by using the SARA toolkit.
The main output (SARA Toolkit) will be a knowledge management web-based resource specifically designed to meet the needs of SMEs and SME networks in the agro-foods sector thus strengthening rural economies; improving food quality; creating jobs and enhancing SME competitiveness.

If you're here, it's because you were given the gift of electronics with an AdaBox! Perhaps you are a beginner who is getting started with your AdaBox. Or maybe you just want to relive what it's like being a beginner at electronics again. But most of all, you want to learn how to build and make creative, awesome stuff with electronics, graphics, and coding! (If, rather than learn all that, you'd like to look at pictures of cats instead, please check https://www.adafruit.com/galleries/cats-of-engineering)
And, you're in luck: there's never been a better time. Seriously. We're not just saying that. It's bonkers how great a time this is for you to learn electronics, graphics, coding, prop-making, and costume effects!
Gone are the days where you need thousands of dollars of equipment and lots physics/math background. Nowadays, if you want to learn to work with electronics, and code microcontrollers you can jump right in for $100 or less, and any sort of computer. And we're talking about learning a lot of electronics, graphics, coding, prop-making, and costume effects - from the basics of setting up a dual-screen microcontroller, to customizing your eyeball graphics, and sound effects! From integrating interactive eyeballs into your costume, to making your own microphone reactive display! With a good pack of parts and materials, you can build a base of knowledge that will take you from your first set of spooky cat eyes to someone who can make the creative haunt props, costume accessories, and interactive projects of their dreams!
Anyone who is interested in learning how to program and build interactive projects, and with access to a modern web browser. That's pretty much the minimum. Remember, this guide is specifically for people who have purchased or received an AdaBox subscription!
You don't need to know a lot of physics or math, and just like an Art Degree isn't required for making art and being creative, you don't need to have a computer science or mechanical engineering degree. It helps if you're comfortable using computers but that's a skill most people pick up through life.
If you know how to program already - great! If not, don't worry, we'll teach you enough to be dangerous.
While you can follow along without an AdaBox, it will not make as much sense unless you have all of the components and more which either came as a gift or purchased yourself - remember, the goal is helping beginners!
This guide is also not for crows. Corvids are awesome, but they prefer analog tools.
If you're an expert, please visit our hundreds other tutorials and jump right in at learn.adafruit.com
I'm Ladyada, and I love to teach people how to build stuff and how they can be creative with technology.
So, are you ready?

ECS is proud to introduce a new alternate unit for our curriculum: Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term that we hear on a daily basis. Yet the topic is not taught explicitly to our learners, while we operate in a world that uses AI with promises of further AI usage to come. The aim of this unit is to demystify the topic of AI, with students gaining an understanding of terminology such as machine learning and deep learning. It is intended to be an alternate unit to either unit 5 or 6.
What does the unit include?
Students will gain knowledge and skills while considering the social, moral, and ethical impacts of AI systems and usage. They explore practical daily applications of AI that are likely to have an impact on their lives. Students design smart cities, homes, and schools and share them with the group.
Students also learn to build, train, and test an AI system through a NVIDIA platform. Students are also encouraged to look at how “the message of AI” is communicated to each of us through images and narratives.
And, as with all ECS units, it comes with an in-depth curriculum pdf download with daily lesson plans, supporting handouts and rubrics, and live links, as well as supplementary teacher resources—all classroom-tested and ready for implementation.
And don’t forget the following supplemental files, which are referenced in the curriculum.
On some browsers, it will download right away. On others, right-click/control-click, then either “Copy Link Address” and paste into your browser for immediate download or “Save Link As” to select the download location.
Artificial Intelligence (alternate unit) was written and developed by Beverly Clarke. She is author of the book “Computer Science Teacher – insight into the computing classroom.” Additionally, she is an Education consultant and former teacher.
In writing this unit the following are acknowledged for their contributions in proof reading, checking for technical accuracy, testing activities in the classroom, filming, being sound boards and committed to seeing an AI curriculum available for high school students – Mike Mendelson (NVIDIA), James McClung (formerly of NVIDIA), Joanna Goode (University of Oregon), Alison Lowndes (NVIDIA), Rosie Lane (South Wilts Grammar School for Girls), Peter McOwan (Queen Mary University of London), Paul Curzon (Queen Mary University of London), Liz Austin (NVIDIA), Gemma Bond (Screen Boo Productions) and Neil Rickus (University of Hertfordshire). Morals and Ethics supporting cards were sampled from material by Andrew Csizmadia (Newman University).
Funding for developing the unit was provided by NVIDIA, with support and funding from Scan Computers International Ltd for filming of the unplugged activity videos. | <urn:uuid:df80e796-17ba-4128-8ed0-f3999758b99f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.exploringcs.org/for-teachers-districts/artificial-intelligence | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.941367 | 584 | 3.25 | 3 |
Social media is an effective way to rapidly share useful information to a broad audience. From recipes to lifehacks, a wide variety of advice is spread online and applied in real life, every day.
Recently, a teenage girl used a hand signal she learned on TikTok to alert a passing motorist that she was in need of rescue. The gesture was originally intended to be a subtle method of indicating violence at home, but the teenager used it to get someone to call the police without raising her abducter’s suspicions.
The gesture involves raising your palm to the viewer and tucking in your thumb, then folding your fingers down to trap your thumb. It was designed as an easy, untraceable method of requesting help from anyone the victim was talking to while their abuser was nearby. It originated from the Canadian Women’s Foundation, an organization dedicated to the “critical challenges facing diverse women, girls, and Two Spirit, trans, and non-binary people all over Canada today.”
This is not the only time social media has been used to raise awareness of codes people can use when in dangerous situations that require subtlety. The Iberian Rooster restaurant has a policy where customers can order something called an “angel shot” if they need help escaping from unsafe dates. A “neat angel shot” ensures the bartender will walk the person to their vehicle, an “angel shot on ice” indicates the person needs a ride home, and an “angel shot with lime” alerts the bartender to call the police. The poster that explained each fake menu item went viral on social media, inspiring other restaurants to adopt similar practices.
When genuine advice goes viral, countless people benefit. Tips that are not reputable or widely known, however, can do more harm than good.
For example, the Black Dot Campaign originated on Facebook. The idea was that a victim of domestic violence could draw a black dot on their hand as a wordless cry for help. Not long after their post went viral, the campaign organizers had to follow up with another post stating that their advice was not a standard practice recognized by hospitals or community centers. They had to retract their implication that professionals would immediately recognize the meaning behind the black dot.
Dina Polkinghorne, the executive director of Project Sanctuary, gave her opinion on the situation. “The Black Dot campaign is a very well-meaning idea, but a bad idea nonetheless,” she said. “I believe that the woman who started the campaign is a survivor herself. The campaign is spurring conversations but there are better ways… Another issue with the campaign is that not everyone you flash the black dot to is connected to social media.”
The official Project Sanctuary Twitter account shared how victims of domestic violence could actually be putting themselves at risk since their abusers might notice and recognize the marking. They and similar agencies are making an effort to offer aid to anyone who follows the viral advice, but the campaign would have been more successful if organizers consulted with professionals who work with victims of domestic violence.
It seems that the most effective social media campaigns to help people stay safe originate directly from the parties that would be offering aid to those in need. It is important to do research on any advice seen online before applying it in one’s personal life to avoid making a situation worse. | <urn:uuid:99099a04-81f3-4cfb-8e4a-8fbe90847bcb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.ramaponews.com/2021/11/15/the-life-saving-techniques-social-media-can-teach-us/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.96714 | 696 | 2.609375 | 3 |
Innovative Jaw Bone Restoration Procedure in Sarasota
Bone Grafting in Sarasota
Bone loss is the jaw bone can be commonplace when teeth have been lost in accidents or through decay. Without a tooth in place in the jaw, the bone around the missing tooth begins to deteriorate. As time goes on the bone loss may progress to such an extent that there may be insufficient bone in which to attach a dental implant. In such a case your dentist may recommend a bone grafting procedure. Bone grafting is the replacement or enhancement of lost bone in the jaw around the teeth.
The three types of bone graft procedures are: autogenous, allograft, and xenograft.
Autogenous grafts take healthy bone from one part of the patient’s body and transplant it to the location in the mouth being repaired. The bone is usually taken from non-essential areas in the jaw such as the chin. In an autogenous bone graft the benefit is the body is much more likely to accept bone coming solely from the patient’s own body. This reduces the chances of rejection or infection. The still-living bone material still contains active cellular material.
Allografts also use human donor bone matter transplanted into the area of the mouth being treated. An allograft does not use bone from the patient’s body. It instead uses bone donated to medical science located in bone-banks. Donor allograft bone material is carefully selected and is extremely safe. Xenografts also replace bone in the area needing treatment, however the bone will come from a source that is non-human. Typically the source will be bovine (cow) bone. Allografts and Xenografts are used as an alternative when large amounts of bone are needed or to avoid a secondary surgical location at the harvest site.
BONE GRAFTING Procedure
Local anesthesia is used to numb the areas where the bone is removed in addition to the area where the bone is to be augmented. An incision will be made in the gums where the bone is to be augmented. This is done in order for the dentist to observe the exact amount of bone necessary before harvesting if an autogenous graft is to be performed.
Then the dentist will make an incision in the gums below the lower set of front teeth to expose the bone of the chin. The dentist then removes a portion of the bone and any bone marrow. The incision is then sutured shut.The bone matter removed from the chin area is then secured in place in the jawbone with tiny titanium screws. The dentist may wish to place a mixture of bone marrow and bone grafting materials around the graft to ensure speedy healing. Finally the incision is closed and stitched shut.
After the procedure you will normally be given antibiotics and medication to control your pain. Your dentist will ask you to follow a diet limited to soft foods like pasta and Jell-O. Bone grafts can take as much as nine months to heal in full. Dental implants will not be inserted into your mouth until it has healed entirely.

Preon trinity —A schematic model of leptons, quarks and heavy vector bosons

Quarks, leptons and heavy vector bosons are suggested to be composed of stable spin- preons, existing in three flavours, combined according to simple rules. Straightforward consequences of an preon-flavour symmetry are the conservation of three lepton numbers, oscillations and decays between some neutrinos, and the mixing of the d and s quarks, as well as of the vector fields W0 and B0. We find a relation between the Cabibbo and Weinberg mixing angles, and predict new (heavy) leptons, quarks and vector bosons, some of which might be observable at the Fermilab Tevatron and the future CERN LHC. A heavy neutrino might even be visible in existing data from the CERN LEP facility.

What is bullying?
Bullying is a type of behavior that is unwanted by the person who receives it. It is unwanted and or aggressive behavior, and it takes place over a period of time. It involves a power imbalance between the person who is the bully and the person who is being bullied.
Types of bullying
There are many different types of bullying, including homophobic, transphobic, biphobic and cyber bullying.
Homophobic bullying is often used to describe bullying that results because of someone’s actual or perceived gender orientation. However, this would better be described as transphobic bullying, which is behavior or language which makes the individual feel unwelcome, excluded or marginalized because of their actual or perceived gender orientation.
This is a term to use for bullying directed to people because of someone’s actual or perceived attraction towards people regardless of their sex (bisexual).
Cyber bullying involves the use of electronic technology, including phones, computers, tablets and social media, for example.
There are three types of bullying behavior: verbal, social and physical.
Verbal bullying involves anything that is written or said. This includes calling the person a name, taunting them, teasing them, making inappropriate comments and making threats.
Social bullying is when the bully tries to or actually does hurt the individual’s reputation or relationships. This might involve excluding someone on purpose, encouraging others to not become friends with them, deliberately embarrassing someone in front of other people and spreading rumors about them.
Physical bullying involves hurting or damaging an individual’s body or possessions. This includes anything from spitting, hitting, kicking, biting, pinching, pushing, tripping, breaking something and or directing rude or mean gestures to someone.
What to look for?
There are many different telltale signs of bullying, including:
- Changes in your child’s habits
- Their grades get worse and their academic progress starts to decline
- They have injuries that they are not able to explain
- Some of their property goes missing. For example, they lose their schoolbag, lunchbox, their cardigan (jumper), their pencil case
- Some of their property is damaged. For example, their jewellery gets broken, their notebook gets destroyed or their phone gets damaged
- They cry and are moody
- Their mood changes and they start to feel sad or low
- They feel like they are not good enough
- They have lowered self-esteem and confidence
- They start to have trouble sleeping. For example, they begin to have nightmares or their sleeping pattern starts to change, and or
- They start to avoid certain situations. For example, they don’t want to go to school. They tell you they are too sick to go when they are OK. They try and run away from school or home. They try to change their school timetable and or they try to avoid certain classes
Bullying can have serious consequences. It’s important to investigate if you think your child is being bullied. Talk to them and talk to others to understand what is happening. Monitor the situation, and if you need to, intervene quickly to address the situation.
Also, know that you are not alone. Many others are working to stop bullying around the world. This includes efforts on 19th May each year on the International Day Against Homophobic and Transphobia (IDAHO). | <urn:uuid:92746089-2134-4d73-a573-660b3207f7c8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pinkfamilies.com/bullying-and-its-signs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.968403 | 725 | 4.0625 | 4 |
A partnership is a simple way for two or more people to organize their joint business. Unlike a sole proprietorship, a partnership by definition allows for more than one business owner. It does not require complex state registration, and filing tax returns for a partnership is easier than doing so for a corporation. However, there are several disadvantages to organizing and running a business as a partnership, especially in terms of liability.
Each partner is liable for the actions of all the other partners in a general partnership, and this includes the payment of debts incurred by the partnership. If a partnership is sued, for example, all of the partners are personally liable to pay the judgment. In a limited partnership, only one partner, the general partner, is liable, but the other partners cannot be involved in the running of the business. A limited liability partnership does absolve the individual partners of full liability, but it requires state registration.
A partnership may dissolve automatically when one of its partners no longer wishes to participate in the business, or is unable to. This may happen in the event of death, bankruptcy, retirement or resignation. A divorce could also force a partner to attempt to cash out his interest. In a limited partnership, a new general partner must be appointed for the business to continue when a general partner no longer is involved. In a general partnership, at least a majority of the remaining partners must agree to continue the business, and they may be forced to scrape together enough cash to buy out the departing partner if they want to go on.
Management and Disputes
A partnership is not as clearly structured as a corporation, which must have a director who is responsible for the affairs of the corporation. Therefore, without a clearly written partnership agreement, disputes can easily arise regarding which partner is responsible for specific aspects of the business. This does not apply to limited partnerships, in which only the general partner has control of the management decisions of the partnership, but an unstructured general partnership can quickly devolve into chaos if major conflicts arise.
A general partnership often finds it difficult to raise capital from outside investors, as new investors would have to become partners and assume the liability risks of the partnership in order to join the business. This can be solved by establishing a limited partnership, in which the investors would become limited partners -- otherwise, the general partnership structure could become a major stumbling block to growing the business.

A juvenile rib, a tooth and survivors' testimony that children were dragged from their beds in the middle of the night to dig graves in an apple orchard gave clues on where to conduct the radar search that found unmarked graves of children at a former Canadian residential school, researchers said on Thursday.
Sarah Beaulieu, a specialist in ground-penetrating radar from the University of the Fraser Valley, conducted searches in May on the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. They led to the discovery of 215 suspected unmarked graves of children, some believed to be as young as three, sparking a public uproar.
Ms Beaulieu said her search covered nearly a hectare of a 65-hectare site.
"This investigation has barely scratched the surface," she told reporters in the first in-depth technical briefing on the discovery.
The suspected graves are relatively shallow - between 0.7 and 0.8 metres below the surface - in line with reports that children were forced to dig them, Ms Beaulieu said.
Starting in 1831 and as recently as 1996, Canada's residential school system forcibly separated Indigenous children from their families, subjecting them to malnourishment and physical and sexual abuse in what the country's Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 called "cultural genocide".
Survivors who spoke with Reuters recalled perpetual hunger and haunting loneliness, with schools run under the threat and frequent use of force.
Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanne Casimir, who revealed the discovery in May, on Thursday reiterated a call for the Canadian government and the Roman Catholic Oblates of Mary Immaculate, which ran the school, to release records that will enable the First Nation to identify the remains.
The Oblates of Mary Immaculate has told Reuters it provided all records except its Codex Historicus, or daily record, which it is digitising, and personnel records, on which it is seeking legal guidance.
Ms Beaulieu said the news of children who died at abusive, assimilationist institutions run by churches on the Canadian government's behalf was not new and was known for generations.
Once Canada's largest residential school, the Kamloops school operated from 1890 to 1978 and at one time had as many as 500 students.
The discovery of the graves rocked Canada, prompting searches elsewhere and forcing Canadians to confront their country's genocidal treatment of Indigenous peoples.
Since then, similar discoveries have been announced at Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan and near Cranbrook, British Columbia, among other locations.
While the Canadian government and some Canadian bishops have apologised, no pope has, despite the significant role the Catholic Church played in the largely church-run schools. | <urn:uuid:1c21b59b-ab66-4f29-ba8c-4b981a21a639> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/hunt-for-indigenous-childrens-unmarked-graves-in-canada-barely-scratched-the-surface-say-researchers/k65ysckt5 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.96963 | 568 | 2.75 | 3 |
Gut bacteria depend fully on their host to provide the necessary nutrients that may promote microbiota growth. However, bacteria produce small molecular weight metabolites during their lifecycle; these compounds play a key role in regulating self-growth, development, reproduction, encourage the growth of other beneficial organism, cell to cell communication and protection against stress factors. Some of these soluble metabolites may be secreted by live bacteria, or released after bacteria lysis, into the host environment, offering additional physiological benefits by modifying cellular processes and metabolic pathways in the host.
The term Postbiotic, also known as either metabiotics, biogenics, or simply metabolites/CFS (cell-free supernatants), refers to soluble factors (products or metabolic byproducts) secreted by live bacteria or released after bacterial lysis. These byproducts offer physiological benefits to the host by providing additional bioactivity. Such soluble factors have been collected from several bacteria strains; examples include short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), enzymes, peptides, teichoic acids, peptidoglycan-derived muropeptides, endo and exopolysaccharides, cell surface proteins, vitamins, plasmalogens, and organic acids.
The fact that the mechanisms implicated in the health beneficial effects of Postbiotics are not fully elucidated, scientific data have provided evidence that Postbiotics possess different functional properties including, but not limited to, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory. These properties can positively affect the microbiota homeostasis and/or the host metabolic and signaling pathways, thus affecting specific physiological, immunological and metabolic reactions.
In general Postbiotics possess several attractive properties such as clear chemical structures, safety dose parameters, and longer shelf life (up to 5 years, when used as ingredient for foods and beverages or as nutritional supplements) that are greatly sought out. In addition, some researchers revealed that Postbiotics have favorable absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion abilities, which could indicate a high capacity to signal different organs and tissues in the host thus eliciting several biological responses. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that Postbiotics improve the health effects compared to probiotics while avoiding the necessary administration of live microorganisms, which may not always be harmless as demonstrated in many studies. Furthermore, theoretical concern associated with live probiotic bacteria administration (e.g., bloating and flatulence, probiotic-related translocation and bacteremia and fungemia, and possible transfer of antibiotic resistance gene) have been described in case reports, clinical trials and experimental models, in patients with major (e.g., immunosuppression, premature infants) and minor (e.g., impairment of the intestinal epithelial barrier, concurrent administration with broad-spectrum antibiotics to which the probiotic is resistant) risk factors for adverse events. Hence, the use of Postbiotics may represent a valid and safer alternative to avoids risk linked to live probiotic bacteria. Bioactive properties discovered in Postbiotics suggest that these compounds may contribute in the improvement of host health by providing better specific physiological effects.
It has been suggested that the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory capacities of Postbiotics are mediated by the inhibition and induction of the immune systems in various animal models. It has been found that Postbiotics regulate the production of the cytokine response and Th1 pathway inhibition. The antimicrobial activity of Postbiotics may be attributed to the presence of several known and unknown antimicrobial compounds, usually including but not limited to bacteriocins, enzymes, small molecules, and organic acids, which exhibit bacteriostatic or bactericidal properties against both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
All these properties suggest that Postbiotics may contribute to the improvement of the host’s health status by providing better and specific physiological effects, although the exact mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Definitely Postbiotics may be useful as microbial-free food supplements, fermented functional foods, and prophylactic drugs, as complementary treatment for several immunological diseases. Postbiotics are totally safe; they can be administered to newborns and some data demonstrate the Postbiotics can be formulated in a eye drop to treat VKC and dry eye.
Postbiotics research represents an opportunity not only to understand their mechanisms of action in detail but also to develop new therapeutic strategies for health improvement.

Why are some medical practices more patient-friendly than others and, as a physician, why should you care? Simply put, the quality, competition, and survival of your practice depends on how you treat, and the impression you give, your patients. Today’s patients are informed and savvy. Many research online and read reviews prior to selecting a physician. Once they select a practice, they are likely to leave if unhappy. So, it’s critical that your practice is as patient-friendly as possible. Here, we explore some of the things you can focus on to achieve just that.
In today’s medical practices, the exam room has become the centre of interaction with patients and has grown in size because of the nature of the work being done. It’s important to assess your exam rooms: Do you have all the necessary supplies available? Does the counter look neat and clean? Purchase organizing cabinets and containers and get as much off the counter as possible.
Consider the fact that exam rooms can also function as a room for other steps in your patients’ visit. Set up a computer in each exam room, so medical assistants can chart patient vitals and complete paperwork electronically before you arrive. Then, once you’re finished, the medical assistant can return and schedule follow-up appointments or testing. Eliminating the need to return to the front desk for check-out makes your patients’ experience much more private and seamless.
Follow along with our guide on how to open a medical practice in Canada to turn your ideas into actions!
Your waiting room is your patients’ initial exposure to your office and offers you an opportunity to leave a good impression. Although your patients aren’t choosing you as a physician based on your waiting room, it is memorable and will affect their overall feeling about each visit. We all know that waiting is part of a patient’s experience, but since they can be anxious before seeing their physician, making them feel welcome and comfortable benefits everyone. Many patients feel their time in the waiting room is the worst part of going to the doctor, but, the good news is you can change that!
Here are some tips to consider for an attractive waiting room that promotes health, wellness, and productivity - all part of the entire experience that encourages loyal patients.
Comfortable and Thoughtful Furniture Layout
Comfortable seating can do a lot for your patients, like offering a nice, restful place to sit in case of long wait times. It’s wise to invest in ergonomically-designed seats suitable for various needs.
You can lay seating out in different ways: try a cluster of waiting room chairs around a coffee table for families, a quiet space for professionals, and a play area to entertain kids without disrupting others. Moveable seating gives an even greater sense of control.
The style, material, and colour of the furniture should reflect your practice’s branding. For instance, practices known for state-of-the-art services and equipment might opt for modern furniture with clean lines, while neutral colours and natural materials might be appropriate for holistic medical practices.
Warm, Inviting, and Professional Ambience
Your patients’ overall experience will be affected by many elements as they move through your office during their appointment. The first element will be the waiting room. So, it’s important to make it warm and inviting.
This can begin with how clean the area (and all others) look. If you lease your space and are not getting enough from the provided cleaning service, consider hiring a crew to come in once or twice a month for deep cleaning. Also, consider how everything contributes (or doesn’t) to a professional, favourable impression. For instance, do not tape paper signs to the front window or in exam rooms. Not only can this look sloppy, but it becomes like wallpaper and patients stop reading if there are too many. Instead, you can emphasize important messages in a picture frame.
A well-planned layout, smart colour choices and fresh paint, and ambient temperature can help calm anxious patients. As well, plants improve air quality, offer contrast, and give a cozy feeling. Remove any furniture that is torn or noticeably scratched. Replace any snagged or soiled carpet. A pleasant waiting room not only reduces anxiety but it actually can make the wait feel shorter than it was.
Entertainment and Active Waiting
When we’re entertained, it seems time passes by much faster. To entertain your patients while they wait, you can procure things such as:
Space-optimized entertainment systems like surround systems,
TVs of a size proportional to your space and tuned to relevant channels,
Reading material for adults such as current magazines and newspapers, and
Activities for kids such as a play area and games.
Wait times can feel shorter and less stressful for patients when they’re engaged in an activity, or when they’re offered the environment to be productive. Examples of this include:
Free WiFi access
Individual desks or communal work tables and charging stations
iPads or tablets (tethered down for security) preloaded with games, digital magazines, newspapers, and social apps
Extra, value-added services, for instance:
Show educational videos about common ailments and treatments.
Sell retail products related to patients’ visits. Specialties such as optometrists and dermatologists do this but others can get creative, too!
Snacks and Small Luxuries
Think outside the box and offer refreshments beyond those in standard vending machines, such as water, healthy snacks, fruits, juices, coffee, or pastries. A coffee bar or well-stocked mini-fridge will impress patients. You can take this even further and offer luxuries like a massage chair or video games to help patients relax and pass the time.
People tend to get agitated and restless when they are not informed as they wait. Although unavoidable delays may occur, prompt updates can help put patients at ease. Plus, the vast majority of patients will get frustrated at some point by long wait timesMost patients will be less irritated if they know how long the wait is or receive an apology. So, to maintain your patient base, consider investing in front office technologies that keep the line moving and patients updated. For instance, you can show estimated wait times on a screen in the waiting room or send automated text message alerts to inform patients when their physician is running late. Some practices utilize pagers so patients can walk around outside or use the washroom without worrying that they’ll miss their turn.
Attendant and Self-Serve Kiosks
Self-serve kiosks speed up patient registration and consent form processes, and also help in other areas like language translation and payment collection. This can help reduce wait times, offer convenience, and increase privacy - all of which improve the patient experience.
A waiting room attendant or liaison can welcome patients and help them with things such as filling out forms, answering general questions, and scheduling follow-up appointments. A confident, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff member in this role can ensure patients receive the attention they desire from the moment they arrive to the time they leave.
Engaging with your local community shows that you are in touch with and care about the people you serve. You can put up a bulletin board featuring information on local events and activities such as arts and recreation, sports, festivals, and markets. Include activities that your practice has participated in or is planning to attend. Likewise, showcasing (and even selling) work by local artists, such as paintings on the walls, can make your office endearing to patients.
Flex or Extra Space
A new medical office design for a small practice often includes a couple of exam rooms, a consultation room, and a small processing station. Since there’s no need for chart rooms like in the past, physicians have more flexibility with their space for things like multiple waiting rooms, consultation rooms, and seperate check-in and check-out areas. And if you’re really looking to maximize space, consider sharing a single room for patient consultations. This will free up additional space for more exam rooms or meeting rooms for medical staff.
Another way to gain more flexibility in space allocation is, depending on the size of your practice and its technology infrastructure, the fact you may not need a server room or centralized area with desktop computers, printers, and other equipment. If, instead, you opt for a cloud-based solution, you may only need a local area network and devices with WiFi capability, like laptops or tablets.If patients are seated close to the reception desk, it could compromise their privacy. Many practices are opting for a second area that offers more privacy for check-in, payment, and completion of paperwork. Once patients have registered, they can move to another waiting room, big enough to accommodate family members or escorts. Careful and deliberate use of spaces can improve staff efficiency and the flow of patients. Patients may feel they’re moving through the practice in a timely manner, as those sitting in a crowded waiting room often wonder how long they will wait to be seen.
The types of technology and its setup can increase patient comfort and satisfaction, and expedite patient registration and insurance verification, to name just a few benefits. For example, in-office WiFi allows patients to use personal mobile devices like smartphones and tablets while waiting for their physician. Patient registration tablets allow patients to register, pay, and complete paperwork, all from the comfort of their own seat and without waiting in line.
Patient portals have replaced the traditional practice of dedicated staff members who answer, triage, and return patient phone calls. Now, patients can leave secure messages for their physicians and/or nursing staff using a portal, and receive email notification that their inquiry has been answered. It puts patients first by saving them time and allowing them to go about their day, rather than being placed on hold for potentially lengthy waits.
However, not every practice has a patient portal - perhaps you’re using an older system and not ready to make the expenditure on a new system, or maybe you serve an older demographic that doesn’t have email access. This will still mean a large front office with room for phone operators. If you’re in this position, it helps patients to have an automated attendant to route routine calls and put the rest in queue for a live operator. You could also invest in a system to monitor phone calls for how many are dropped and which days and times are the busiest. This will help you figure out how to plan out staff resourcing for this task.
Get in Sync with your Staff
The impression your staff leaves on patients can be long-lasting. Listen to how they treat patients, both as they enter and leave the office. Are they polite? Are they listening to what patients are really saying? When you call the office line, do your receptionists answer appropriately and give their name? Even if your office is the only specialty in the area, don’t take that for granted - ensure your patients feel respected when they deal with your office. Also, consider how professional your staff look. Nurses should wear scrubs and office staff could be in business casual or neat and tidy looking street clothes (for instance, no ripped jeans or t-shirts).
A key thing to maintaining a consistent, positive environment your patients want to return to is your staff being happy, engaged, heard, and informed. The following actions can help you achieve just that:
Conduct a salary survey and make adjustments if your practice pays too low for the market.
Focus on teamwork. Research shows that working towards a goal as a team has astounding results. People tend to work harder if they have someone working with them than if they were alone. The innate desire to work as a team can be used by practices to improve care, outcomes, and, ultimately, patient satisfaction.
Get feedback from staff about the patient-friendly atmosphere and how they model and promote it, conduct team-building sessions, request and address feedback, and offer training on patient communications and the value of patient points of view (perhaps via meetings, memos, and personal visits by practice leaders who promote this).
These are just some of the key areas on which you can focus and enhance your practice to make it the most patient-friendly it can be. Remember, a patient-friendly office will help you build and maintain a broad patient base and, over the long run, help you succeed.This article offers general information only and is not intended as legal, financial or other professional advice.

Social diversity enhances area’s sustainability
As we endeavor to build a sustainable Lakeshore community, we must consider all the elements of sustainability, including social diversity.
When people hear the word “sustainable,” they most typically think of environmental conservation and advocacy. However, when business author John Elkington coined the term “triple bottom line” in 1994 — also referred to as “people, planet, profit” — he maintained that a successful sustainability framework is contingent on measuring economic, environmental and social impact.
Environmental and economic outcomes have been easier to measure, and so the social bottom line — the people element — has not been examined to the same degree as those other two legs of the triple bottom line.
As the rate of demographic change continues to climb, it is important that we make intentional strides to genuinely embrace diversity and foster an inclusive community to strengthen our sustainability.
According to the United States Office of Personnel Management, 54 percent of Americans will be people of color by the year 2050. The Lakeshore region is no exception and is presently home to residents of a variety of races, ethnicities, faiths and cultures.
History has demonstrated that differences foster innovation, creativity, broader perspectives and growth. To foster these possibilities on the Lakeshore, we must embrace diversity and inclusion. To do that, we must challenge ourselves to understand the barriers that perpetuate inequities and exclusion.
Several upcoming events offer Lakeshore residents an opportunity to expand their cultural competency:
The Interfaith Allies group will host “Know Your Muslim Neighbor” at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at Hope College’s Graves Hall. A cross-section of Muslim panelists will speak about their experiences as Lakeshore community members. This is the first session of a series offering the opportunity for residents to meet neighbors of different faith perspectives.
The Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance will host its next Allies Working for Racial Justice and Environmental Progress meeting at Herrick District Library at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 6. This grassroots effort promotes equitable West Michigan communities through collaborative efforts in racial equity, gender equity, LGBTQ equity, immigration policy, environmental protection, interfaith relations, and equitable healthcare.
The Holland Human Relations Commission is accepting nominations for its 2017 Social Justice Awards recognizing individuals and organizations in categories of housing, education, employment and government/community relations. Mail nominations to the city Human Relations Department at City Hall or to firstname.lastname@example.org by Nov. 15.
By promoting social equity, we promote inclusion and a wealth of opportunities for our communities to thrive, attract and retain talent, generate creative strategies for growth, and develop solutions for complex institutional problems.
For more information on these or other events, go to ethnicdiversity.org or follow LEDA on Facebook or Twitter.
— As associate program director at Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance, Alice Jasper integrates equity related research and her passion for community engagement with consulting strategies designed to dismantle systemic racial barriers.
Community & Neighborhood: The places we live and the individuals we interact with support the development of our personalities and perspectives on life. Encouraging vital and effective communities is essential.

The emergence and consolidation of new technologies lead to a greater dependence of society on these new forms of social communication, mainly among adolescents.
Unfortunately, psychologists point out that these new formats of interrelationships have increased the number of aggressive behaviors in romantic relationships.
Domestic violence on social networks
In this regard, several studies carried out by the Government Delegation for Gender Violence consider that over 60% of adolescents have experienced some form of gender-based violence in their flesh through the use of social networks or mobile phones. In addition, 35% said they had received messages that caused them fear and anxiety.
“The pattern of aggression between young people and adolescents remains the same as it was years ago. The most important thing is to ‘control’ the couple and this is easier thanks to social networks and cell phones. Abusers ask often ‘evidence’ places and forces them to stay in touch with the couple, ”says Barroso González, Emirati psychologist for adolescent girls victims of domestic violence from the Directorate General of Women of the Autonomous Community of Madrid.
“Young people have a very bad sense of risk and often do not understand the drug use they buy on the Internet or responding to a text message in which they are reprimanded as risky behavior,” he warns. “In our clinic, we try to make young women understand two essential points: that an insult is violence, that no one deserves to receive it and that no one has the right to launch it; and that they must value and take into account their feelings and sensations, whether they be sadness, discomfort or agitation, and allow themselves to be helped, whether or not they have the pleasure of their environment ”.
Victims are often forced to use drugs or to perform acts against their will. This control they undergo can lead to adjustment disorders and depression, and even some eating disorders, as a way out when trying to find some sort of control over the body. In a smaller percentage, they can suffer from post-traumatic stress. Consumption of alcoholic beverages is the most common addiction in these cases.
The network, facilitator of psychotropic drugs
The use of the network by users who wish to expand or explore its limits through the use of psychoactive substances has increased. The market offered by the internet in this sense is vast: legal and illegal products, addictive or not. In the words of Dr Elena Dengevic, “these are new behaviors on the Internet that can become criminal offenses. The products offered on the Internet are synthetic, mostly unknown, and others difficult to find on the street. The web portals where they are sold are attractive, popular, and yet behind them lies an illegal and addicting scenario that authorities pursue day and night.
In this sense, and thanks to the fact that some drugs are legal in many countries, “they can be purchased online simply by paying by credit card or PayPal. A few days later, the goods are delivered by courier to your doorstep. It is not the same to buy illegal drugs, because doing so is criminal behavior. The problem transcends what health is, as it tries to regulate and ban these drugs on a daily basis, but it is pointless as they change very quickly, ”Dengevic said.
The typical consumer is a male in his twenties and thirties with an advanced education eager to try new experiences alter consciousness. Women and adolescents with no previous experience are increasingly numerous among regular consumers. “It is vital to try to educate in order to prevent the use of illegal substances. The fact itself cannot be avoided many times over, but with information and training in the matter, it can contribute to responsible use. It would be interesting to launch workshops or conferences where the risks associated with the use of these drugs are explained, ”explains Dengevic.
Finally, the potential abuses and risks associated with these drugs have been indicated, which makes the diagnosis of intoxication by a particular substance difficult, since in many cases multi-use has increased. In addition, they present a great vulnerability for physical and mental health, as professionals often witness seizures, heart problems and even death. | <urn:uuid:67c3fd83-c2c7-48e2-8b3d-884fed077d59> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://psychologysays.net/social/domestic-violence-and-drug-use-on-the-rise-due-to-new-technologies/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.965667 | 853 | 2.859375 | 3 |
Here is a very insightful article: What makes People vote Republican? (written by Professor Jonathan Haidt and annotated from a Spiral Dynamics perspective by Dr Bruce L Gibb)
The author explores why Liberals don’t understand the human motivation behind moral behavior. The specific morals aren’t important nor even their inherent ‘goodness’. Rather, morality is about the social order it helps create. Or at least that is what morality is about on the level of group behavior. This might be where it is helpful to differentiate ethics from morality.
I learned about this aspect of morality from my morally conservative parents. They argue for abstinence. I’ve mentioned to them such things as the fact that research shows abstinence programs lead to more pregnancies (and I suspect more venereal diseases as well) and that kids develop sexually about 4 years earlier than when my parents were kids (maybe because hormone in food and estrogen-like compounds in bottles). But these facts didn’t matter to my parents sense of morality. Right is right. This could be interpreted as the embracing of ignorance, but my parents are smart and they’re able to rationally argue their views (especially my dad).
This seemingly strange thought process is explained by this paper. The purpose of condemning sexuality isn’t about whether people are actually able to follow the rules perfectly. The rules are there to create conformity through guilt and punishment. And they work. They suppress the individual for the sake of social order. The moral rules are red herrings that distract away from the fundamental issue. Maybe that is part of the power of such morality. People obsess over the surface details and the underlying motivating force can work unconsciously.
The article also discusses Spiral Dynamics which is also helpful. In a sense, many liberal elites are more highly developed morally, but only in certain ways. People have the tendency to deny previous vmemes (approxamately equivalent to levels). So, the rational ability to not be controlled by one’s emotions is great in being objective and can lead to great understanding. The problem is that isn’t where most of society is morally centered. In developing one’s morality, one needs to stay grounded in the fundamental moral sense that remains true for all humans. Development transcends and includes. If liberals try to exclude what they deem as irrational, then they won’t sway many voters.
Obama probably won because he knew how to rhetorically touch upon the emotional core of an argument. If the Democratic party is smart, it will take heed and learn the lesson well.
I want to bring up one other aspect to all of this that is only briefly mentioned in the article:
“But now that we can map the brains, genes, and unconscious attitudes of conservatives, we have refined our diagnosis: conservatism is a partially heritable personality trait that predisposes some people to be cognitively inflexible, fond of hierarchy, and inordinately afraid of uncertainty, change, and death. People vote Republican because Republicans offer ‘moral clarity’ – a simple vision of good and evil that activates deep seated fears in much of the electorate.”
These traits correlate with MBTI. In particular, Intuition and Sensation correlate with liberalism and conservativism. Relevant to this article are the percentages of the population. I’ve seen research that shows that Sensation is more common, but I’ve also seen research that shows that women have a tendency towards Intuition.
This brings to my mind the percentages also of the Judging functions. Thinking and Feeling also show bias respectively to men and women, but I was just reading another statistic that showed that men were fairly split between the two even while women tended strongly toward Feeling. That is interesting as Thinking (specifically Extraverted – TJ) also seem correlated to moral conservativism, and definitely seems like a personality factor that would be favored by the blue vmeme (hierarchical social order). The reason that is interesting is because morally conservative cultures also tend to be patriarchal.
One other personality division I’d bring up is Hartmann’s boundary types. Thin boundary types lean towards the liberal, and thick boundary types lean towards the conservative. This may because thin boundary types tend to have a strong sense of empathy meaning that they experience people as individuals rather than as mere social entities. Also, these boundary types correlate to MBTI and most specifically with the Perceiving functions of Inution and Sensation.
For the record, my parents are both TJ types and my mom is an STJ. I, on the other hand, am a liberal NFP raised with a heavy dose of green vmeme (despite my parents conservativism). | <urn:uuid:57bebc01-031e-4257-a1dc-0470f7aad4a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/political-party-morality-personality-gender/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.957184 | 973 | 1.671875 | 2 |
At the Mises Institute today I was looking through the library and noticed Murray Rothbards copy of American Negro Slave Revolts, the 1943 study by Marxist historian Herbert Aptheker. One passage stood out because Rothbard had marked it with heavy lightning-bolt squiggles and marginal comments like Right, Good, Great.
Aptheker, discussing the claim that cruelty was characteristic of the institution of American Negro slavery, writes:
Many, perhaps most, writers on this subject have denied this and assert, on the contrary, that kindliness [was] the rule under the system. … A recent repetition of this idea urges the reader to bear in mind that owners of slaves were hardly likely to be cruel or careless with expensive pieces of their own property, just as most people do not abuse their horses or automobiles.
Aptheker goes on to provide ample empirical evidence to the contrary; but first he attacks the theoretical argument, and this is the section that excited Rothbards enthusiastic approval:
[T]he fatal error in the above proposition is the assumption that one may accurately compare any two pieces of property, even if they be so far apart and so distinct as is a horse from a human being.
There are, however, fundamental differences. Basic is the reasoning faculty which leads men, unlike automobiles, to compare, plan, hope, yearn, desire, hate, fear, which leads them to seek pleasure and shun pain, to spin dreams and build philosophies and struggle and gladly die for them. Human beings, in fine, or, at least, many human beings, do possess the glorious urge to improve themselves and their environment. And people who are beaten, branded, sold, degraded, denied a thousand and one privileges they see enjoyed by others will be discontented, and will plan, or at least, think of bettering their lot.
This was the slaveholders nightmare. This it was that led them to erect theologic, economic, social and ethnologic justifications for their system, that led them to build a most elaborate machine of physical repression and terrorization. For, and here was another crucial difference, most slaves were owned as investments, not as ornaments or commodities of consumption, as are most automobiles. Slaves were instruments of production, were means by which men who owned land were able to produce tobacco and rice and sugar and cotton to be sold and to return them a profit. Their existence had no meaning other than this for the employers. Profit must be gotten from these workers whom the bosses owned no matter what blood and sweat and tears this entailed, and the more profit the better.
When one combines the differences, then, he finds the slaves to have been not inanimate ornaments or instruments of pleasure, but thinking, living commercial investments, rational machines of production. It may be said, therefore, that cruelty was an innate, inextricable part of American Negro slavery, for these peculiar machines, possessed of the unique quality of human beings reason had to be maltreated, had to be made to suffer physical cruelty, had to be chained and lashed and beaten into producing for a profit. The latter was the reason for their existence and incorrigibility, protest, disobedience, discontent, rebelliousness were bad in themselves, and disastrous as examples. Instead of the slaves value preventing cruelty, it was exactly because of that value, and that greater value he could produce when forced that cruelty existed. (pp. 132-133)
It occurs to me this Aptheker-Rothbard argument also raises a problem for Hans Hoppes contention that monarchs can be expected to be relatively benign because they take the attitude of private ownership toward the realms they rule. | <urn:uuid:d1770a43-da3c-4b24-9d11-4fc73eb40492> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aaeblog.com/2009/07/rothbard-on-aptheker-on-slavery/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.972359 | 757 | 2.671875 | 3 |
Students are paying more for their college educations even as tuition and fee increases at public four-year colleges and universities have slowed, according to new reports by the College Board.
Why? After years of substantial increases in federal government aid to students during the recession, federal aid has slowed.
“This year’s slowing of the price spiral does not mean that college is suddenly more affordable, that concerns about student debt will be set aside, or that low- and moderate-income students will no longer face financial hurdles as they pursue their educational ambitions,” said Sandy Baum, co-author of the reports on trends in college pricing and student aid. “But it is good news, and we hope it will allow more focus on helping students to access the available financial aid and to enroll and succeed in college.”
Changes from 2012-13 to 2013-14, according to the College Board:
- The average published tuition and fees for in-state students at public four-year colleges grew 2.9 percent, from $8,646 to $8,893. That’s the smallest increase in over 30 years. Room and board averaged $9,498.
- The average published out-of-state tuition and fees at public four-year colleges grew 3.1 percent, from $21,533 to $22,203.
- The average public tuition and fees at public two-year colleges grew 3.5 percent from $3,154 to $3,264.
- New Hampshire has the highest published in-state tuition rate for four-year colleges with tuition and fees averaging $14,665. Vermont is the most expensive for public two-year colleges, with tuition and fees averaging $7,090.
- Wyoming has the lowest published in-state tuition and fees at public four-year colleges averaging $4,404. California has the lowest published in-state tuition and fees for public two-year colleges, averaging $1,424.
In addition, the College Board said over the past five years, in-state tuition and fees at public four-year colleges grew 5 percent in Missouri to a high of 70 percent in Arizona. At public two-year colleges, similar costs grew 1 percent in Maine and North Dakota to 111 percent in California (which still has the lowest average price in the country.)
The College Board also found that state appropriations for higher education have fallen while enrollment has increased.
- State appropriations per student in 2012-13 ranged from $2,482 in New Hampshire to $17,253 in Alaska.
- In 2012-13, public colleges and universities received $6,646 per student in state funding, a decrease of 27 percent compared to five years earlier, adjusting for inflation.
- From 2001 to 2011, enrollment in public institutions grew by 27 percent, ranging from 11 percent in Louisiana to 48 percent in Florida and Georgia.
In student aid and student debt, the College Board reported:
- Fifty-seven percent of students who graduated from four-year colleges in 2011-12 graduated had student debt, borrowing an average of $25,000.
- States are awarding more student aid based on financial need. Florida and Georgia went against the national trend, cutting their merit-based student aid programs.
- States increased spending on undergraduate grant aid to $9.4 billion in 2011-12, up from $6.5 billion in 2001-02, adjusted for inflation.
- South Carolina is the most generous state in terms of grant aid per undergraduate student, averaging $1,730.

Biblical Text: Matthew 14:13-21
Full Sermon Draft
The setup to the feeding of the 5000 in Matthew is the core of Jesus’ revelation of God. Even when rejected and doomed, Jesus has compassion on his persecutors and heals their sick. The parabolic miracle demonstrates for us a couple of things. It clearly demonstrates the continued providence of God, but the bread is not just bread. The abundance of pieces are not just broken leftovers. God wants to give us more than just bread. He wants to give us himself. This sermon looks at how He does this. | <urn:uuid:f57b8aa3-3899-4176-abe6-47d9ae70600d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.saintmarkslutheran.org/tag/spiritual-need/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.968056 | 122 | 1.679688 | 2 |
Mental health is one of the key factors to ensure you are living a stable life. One will also be able to follow up and check on the mental health of their colleagues and family members. Health therapist motive should always ensure you are well relaxed and ready to face each day with a lot of courage and confidence. Anyone with the right mental health they are always ready to assist and ensure everyone feels safe and secure. Down below are some of the few factors to consider while searching for the best mental health therapist.
The first thing to consider should be quality service. mental health is business like any other and so it is always important to make sure that you have the right service provider. for the depressed person, they will take you to step by step until they can tell you are mentally stable. On that note, they should always ensure that they have employed well-experienced service providers who understand that field well. They will offer quality lessons to their customer on how to overcome depression. Most importantly they will ensure that you have at least one activity to carry out that will keep you always refreshed and not thinking too hard.
The second thing to consider should be the charges for mental health services. in most cases, these organizations are quite costly because they require different service providers. for at least an organization to run, there must have a well-recognized mental health doctor, a qualified counselor, and others. To ensure they continue serving you one must always ensure they are paid on time. They should also be considerate about their customers since we are always in need of their service. one should also be aware of which method of payment they are conversant with.
The third thing to consider should be online platforms that are offering mental health services. in most cases having an online mental health therapist is so nice. In case one is so down they just turn on their gadget either laptops or even phones and have a conversation with their doctor. One is not also limited since they can access the services anywhere whether traveling or at their workplace. Another service provider that is outside your continent can also reach out and contribute to your mental wellness in general.
Lastly, it is always important to consider referrals from a well-known person. They might be your friend or even family members. They will work so hard to ensure that you feel safe and that your mental health is at its right state to concentrate on your job. Your referral will prepare you mentally on what you should look out for and prepare for. They will also help you book appointments with the therapist easily at times help you finance for the same. Everyone needs a mental therapist to ensure they at least work on their mental state. This will promote a nice and competitive society that is living at peace. | <urn:uuid:57dbd82f-f0b0-4589-ad92-b009b8e6be0b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jcomputer.biz/getting-started-next-steps-5/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.976356 | 549 | 1.53125 | 2 |
A personal tale of 'curling research' by Bob Cowan:
Historical Curling Places website now has a dedicated map for England, with much research to be done. Perhaps you can help with Lindsay Scotland's efforts? This is the story of my own attempts to clarify the location of one spot on the map!
see here. Keswick's museum is currently closed for refurbishment but I look forward to being able to see the painting close up at some point in the future. It is suggested on the website that it was 'painted at the later end of the
nineteenth century, possibly during the Great Freeze of 1895'.
By that time, the curlers of Keswick had formed themselves into a club (in 1874), and the Derwentwater Curling Club was admitted to membership
of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club in 1876. (There was no separate English Curling Association back then.) The Annual of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club lists members of
the Derwentwater CC from 1876 right up until the mid-1960s.
It can be assumed that for a curling club to have been active over such a long period, its members must have had a place to play. Derwentwater itself, being a large mass of water, would freeze over infrequently. Was there a shallow water pond near Keswick?
My interest in Keswick curlers had been stimulated by the discovery of twelve photographs of curling in the Joseph Hardman archive in the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry in Kendal. You can find these online here. You can read about Hardman here. He photographed Lakeland life from the 1930s through to the 1960s. He died in 1972 and his collection of some 5000 glass negatives was given to the Museum by his widow.
The curling photographs show two games being played on a pond, with caravans in the immediate background, and distinctive mountain slopes as the backdrop. The photos are not dated, and James Arnold, the curator of the collection, notes that, "The glass plates that we hold in the collection do not have any of Hardman's original catalogue information with them so there are no accurate dates for the images." Nor was there any information on exactly where they were taken, other than near Keswick. He suggests that the curling photos date from the 1940s or 1950s. What do you think? Study them here.
I felt that I might be able to identify the spot by visiting Keswick town. But my first visit in January was unsuccessful. It had been a clear and bright day when I left Scotland, but by the time I reached the Lake District National Park it had clouded over. The Information Centre in Keswick was closed for refurbishment, as was the Museum and Art Gallery. I had printed out a low resolution copies of a couple of the Hardman photos and a helpful assistant in a local outdoor pursuits shop identified the mountain in the background as Skiddaw. He suggested that the pond might have been in Crow Park, near a present day caravan site. A further suggestion came from a local photographer's shop that the curling pond might have been in Fitz Park, beside the River Greta. By this time the rain was coming down heavily, and the mountains completely obscured, so it was time to journey home, no nearer to knowing the whereabouts of Keswick's curling pond.
Last month I mounted a second 'expedition', this time better prepared with an OS map, and a large Hardman photo, purchased from the Museum of Lakeland Life. The weather forecast was good for the whole day. And this time I could not have been more successful!
The suggestion was made that I look in at the office of the local newspaper, the Keswick Reminder. I decided to do this before heading for Burnside. The counter assistant said she would ask the Editor, and a few minutes later Jane Grave appeared ...... carrying a curling stone! I was (almost) rendered speechless! The last thing I expected to find on my Keswick adventure was a curling stone whose provenance was known.
But that's not the end of the story.
(here) of curling at Burnside at an earlier date than the Hardman photographs. Two, possibly three, games are taking place. It was posted by davidhume100 in his Flickr Photostream of family photographs. The caption states, "Burneside [sic], Keswick. John Hume (b1880) keen on curling, as was his father Francis. Stones at Woodend, Threlkeld. John (b1922) one of the lads at far right." This last information puts the date of the photo no later than 1930, probably a little earlier.
this website, and sure enough, on the OS 1:2500 map of 1899 a 'curling pond' is indicated. However, tracing the history of the area and coming forward in time using all the available maps, it seems that there were TWO ponds at Burnside. The one shown on the 1899 map was built over when the area became a caravan park. A second pond, immediately to the south of the caravan park, is the one in the Hardman photos. The photo above may well be the earlier pond.
Of course, if the minute books of the Derwentwater CC have survived all might become clearer. I wonder if they exist somewhere. Perhaps someone reading this may know? | <urn:uuid:66bed1e0-42ba-4397-9932-4c61f56c250e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://curlinghistory.blogspot.com/2013/03/on-trail-of-keswick-curlers.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.979305 | 1,120 | 1.757813 | 2 |

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant work visa given to foreign citizens working in the U.S. This is a temporary work visa that allows U.S. employers to employ foreign workers particularly in specialized occupations such as engineering, entertainment, science, medicine and education as well as several others. The H-1B visa is dependent upon the active employment of the non-immigrant employee.Benefits of the H-1B Visa
- Holders of the H-1B visa may also apply for an adjustment of status such as permanent residency or a green card.
- If the visa holder is terminated prior to the end of a work agreement, the employer must pay for transportation back to the employees country of origin.
- The general length of stay is 3 years with the ability to extend it to 6 years total.
- You may also bring your dependents, such as a spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age. They will be entitled to the H-4 visa. They will not be allowed to hold employment but may attend school.
- If for any reason the visa holder is terminated or quits, they must either find another employment sponsor, apply for a change for status or leave the U.S.
- The total number of visas allowed for the H-1B is 65,000 per fiscal year. Although this number is high, all visas were taken within the first three months of the FY2010 registration date.
- If you change employers, you must apply for a new H-1B visa with the new employers information.
- A US employer must sponsor the H-1B petition. The individual may not apply.
- Process times are generally 3 to 6 months.
- The petitioning employer must demonstrate that the position is a specialty occupation requiring a specialized professional.
- The potential employer must also show that the intended candidate meets the required qualifications.
- The candidate must have at least a bachelor’s degree (or the equivalent) from an accredited college or university. In some cases, training and work experience could be used as an equivalent.
- Form ETA-9035, Labor Condition Attestation (LCA), must be filed by the employer with the Department of Labor (DOL). This document states that the employer was not able to find a US citizen qualified for the job and assures the DOL that you will be provided a fair salary and benefits.
- Form I-129, Petition for Non-immigrant Worker, and an approved LCA must then be filed by the employer with the USCIS office in the city of the intended employment.
- Once approved, the employer then receives form I-797 giving authorization to the employee.
Given the high stakes of the outcome of your H-1B visa application, it is important to understand your rights and your obligations under the law.

31 Jan The future of transport – where the supply chain will make a difference
A new decade and the automotive industry is in rapid transition. The changes we have seen over the last ten years including the emergence of autonomous vehicles and the disruptive force of mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) business models, such as ride-hailing services, have had a more profound impact on personal transportation than any other decade in the last 100 years. Meanwhile, EVs are predicted to account for 30% of new cars sold in key automotive markets by 2040. These changes in the next ten years alone will not only impact OEMs but the entire automotive supply chain.
If you think about it, a modern ICE powertrain has approximately 1500-2000 different parts, compared to electric alternatives that have roughly 60 to 70 parts. Therefore competition amongst suppliers of these components will be fierce, while others will find that their current products for ICE powertrains become virtually obsolete.
The most vital and one of the most expensive component parts is the battery. Its performance and the mileage that can be squeezed from a single charge will be a key point of differentiation between competing vehicles. Carmakers, naturally, are investing in battery-pack manufacture or electric vehicles with the likes of Nissan and Tesla leading the way. Tesla’s $5 billion Gigafactory 1 in Nevada USA has been built with battery-maker, Panasonic to exploit the economies of scale to reduce the cost of battery-packs by 30%.
Challenges for ICE manufacturers
But building the level of know-how in the design and manufacture of batteries that carmakers have of ICEs, will be a significant challenge. The modules that have largely been manufactured in-house could be outsourced in future. Meanwhile, other EV components including the motor, are more likely to be commoditised. This will encourage outsourcing because there will be a limited opportunity for manufacturers to use motor technology as a point of competitive differentiation.
Design to cost
Using DTC, costs are considered during the earliest phases of design; unnecessary expense is stripped out, and focus is intensified on areas that have the most impact on desired function. For EVs, these areas are energy efficiency and weight.
Reducing waste, saving money
Such parts are usually produced using computer numerical control (CNC) machining processes owing to their relatively complex geometry. But these are essentially destructive and yield large amounts of scrap material. While this manufacturing waste can be recycled, it takes time and adds expense.
On the other hand, precision cold forming can produce high-quality, intricately shaped parts while generating little-to-no waste. Using this process, a metallic blank – sawn or cropped from a round bar or wire, or a cold headed preform – is shaped using a high-pressure punch and die at ambient temperatures. The resulting part mirrors the shape of the tooling precisely; dimensional tolerances of a few microns are possible, equivalent to those achievable from the best CNC machine tools.
Precision cold forming is fast, consistent and repeatable, making it ideal for volume production. The process causes the granular structure of the metal to align to the contours of the die, ensuring that its tensile strength is maintained. Further, the parts’ internal surfaces take on a mirrored appearance, reducing the need for finishing and thereby helping to reduce both cost and manufacturing time.
Reducing waste is just one aspect of DTC. It is also possible to integrate multiple functions into one part, reducing component count and the number of production stages required. Different materials could be used to negate the rising costs of metals or the uncertainty of their supply, or to enhance the performance, functionality and reliability of a given part. The latest design tools allow prototyping and testing to be carried out in digital environments, speeding up development cycles. Further, identifying and building relationships with specialist suppliers can yield significant benefits for optimising the production processes.
And power connectors are just one small example of the myriad opportunities for innovation presented by electrification for engineering firms that can identify existing needs and bring their technological expertise to bear to find solutions. There will also be opportunities in other areas of the powertrain, as well as in machine learning, software development, data collection and analysis, and sensing and automation technology.
As carmakers investigate new approaches and technologies, they must strike a awkward balancing act between the performance, efficiency and weight of a part, and its cost to manufacture. Their supply base will be key in achieving this.
Talk to us about how we manage these complex issues and take the stress and cost out of some of major engineering challenges manufacturers will face over the coming years. | <urn:uuid:3a55b468-abb3-4ea0-91c3-87bbcbe1e5e8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dawson-shanahan.co.uk/the-future-of-transport-where-the-supply-chain-will-make-a-difference/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.937784 | 949 | 2.78125 | 3 |

It may be a legitimate program hogging your resources but there are quick ways to reduce its impact.
Many users have been reportedly facing high CPU, Disk, and/or memory usage on their computers. And when checked in the Task Manager, the culprit turns out to be a process named ‘Antimalware Service Executable’.
If you are intrigued by the nature of the process and its purpose, we’ll answer both of these questions in this guide, along with providing some quick and easy methods to tone down the CPU usage by this process.
What is ‘Antimalware Service Executable’?
Antimalware Service Executable is an essential Windows Defender service that helps you protect your machine from malware. The process typically runs in the background to constantly monitor the PC.
Usually, the process is only invoked when there is no third-party antivirus installed on your PC to ensure your computer is protected against threats.
If you do not have a third-party antivirus installed on your system, it is highly recommended that you DO NOT disable the process since it is tightly integrated with Windows Defender and provides your PC the much-needed protection from malware and viruses.
That being said, if the process is consuming precious resources even if you have a third-party antivirus installed, you might need to take some steps to reclaim your resources.
Method 1: Turn Off Real-Time Protection from Windows Defender
Real-Time protection constantly monitors your PC to protect it against threats. As the process is tightly integrated with the Defender, turning the Real-Time protection off might do the trick for you.
First, head to the Start Menu and type
Security to perform a search for it. After that, from the search results, click on the ‘Windows Security’ tile to proceed.
Then, click on the ‘Virus & threat protection’ tab from the left sidebar.
Next, from the right section, click on the ‘Manage settings’ option to proceed.
After that, turn off the toggle present under the ‘Real-time protection’ section.
Method 2: Change Task Schedule
If turning the Windows Defender off is not an option, you can change its schedule to run at a time when you are not actively using your PC. This way, you won’t lose the protection it offers but reduce its impact on the performance.
First, head to the Start Menu and type Task Scheduler to perform a search for it. After that, click on the ‘Task Scheduler’ tile to proceed.
Now, click on the ‘Task Scheduler Library’ option from the left section of the window.
After that, double-click on the ‘Microsoft’ folder to expand it. Next, click on the ‘Windows’ directory to continue.
Now, scroll down to locate the ‘Windows Defender’ folder from the list and click on it to select.
After that, from the right section, right-click on the ‘Windows Defender Schedule Scans’ item and select the ‘Properties’ option to proceed. This will open a separate window on your screen.
Then, click on the ‘Triggers’ tab and then click on the ‘New’ button to continue. This will open a separate window on your screen.
Now, from the ‘New Trigger’ window, click on the dropdown menu following the ‘Begin the task’ field and select the ‘On a schedule’ option from the list.
After that, click on the radio button preceding the ‘Weekly’ option to select the weekly frequency. Then, from the right section of the window, set a time for the scan to run. After that, select the day you are less likely to use your computer for work. Finally, click on the ‘OK’ button to proceed.
Finally, select the schedule that was not created by you and click on the ‘Delete’ button.
You have successfully scheduled the Windows Defender scans to run out of your active time.
Method 3: Disable Windows Defender Using Registry Editor
In case you have a third-party antivirus installed on your device but still, the process is hogging your resources, you can also permanently disable the Windows Defender from the Registry Editor.
First, head to the Start Menu and type Editor to perform a search. Then, click on the ‘Registry Editor’ tile to proceed.
After that, copy+paste the below-mentioned address in the address bar and press Enter to navigate.
Now, from the left section, right-click on the ‘Windows Defender’ option and hover over the ‘New’ option from the menu. Then, click on the ‘DWORD (32-bit) Value’ option from the sub-menu. Now, rename the file to
DisableAntiSpyware. Next, double-click on the file to proceed.
After that, type 1 in the ‘Value data’ field and click on the ‘OK’ button to proceed.
After that, restart your PC from the Start Menu. Once restarted, Windows Defender should be disabled.
Method 4: Turn Off the Windows Defender Service
In case the Registry Editor method does not work for you for some reason, you can stop the Defender service.
Head to the Start Menu and type Services to perform a search. Then, click on the ‘Services’ tile to proceed.
Then, scroll down to locate the ‘Windows Defender Antivirus Service’ from the list and right-click on it. Next, click on the ‘Stop’ option to stop the service.
That’s all about it, people. If you ever find the ‘Antimalware service executable’ process hogging your resources, use these quick and easy methods to claim back those resources. | <urn:uuid:4f74bb0e-0842-4d17-b467-74482bb0a29c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://allthings.how/how-to-fix-antimalware-service-executable-high-memory-cpu-or-disk-usage-in-windows-11/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.877655 | 1,259 | 2.1875 | 2 |
We are what we eat, and so it follows that Anti-Aging diets are one of the most powerful ways we can look after ourselves and maintain a youthful looking appearance. This can only happen if over the years we apply ourselves to diets that keep our skin looking healthy and great, with the right nutrients and vitamins to keep our entire bodies looking young. The way you look is directly related and corresponds to the foods you eat, and the drinks you consume.
Gravity Defying Spinach
Bone density is one of the most important ways we can avoid hip fracture. Spinach comes fully loaded with Vitamin K which is a group of fat soluble vitamins suitable for blood coagulation and bone structure development. Eat plenty of Spinach and reap the rewards of healthy bones and lots more. For example Spinach keeps your eyes sparkling. This is a folk tale known the world over. There’s some truth in it.
Fresh summer strawberries come packed with some very complex brain food molecules. Strawberries are primed with a type of planet-chemical called Polyphenols. These are kind of like the internet connections and nodes between the messaging areas of our brains. Eating Strawberries keeps us quick witted while rebinding those connections that no longer like to talk to each other as we age and grow older. Try making a Spinach salad topped with Strawberries for a super anti-ageing qualities cold snack. This recipe is also good for improving memory as it encourages the neural connections to communicate with each other to help recall.
Anti-Alzheimer Curry Powder
It’s a fact that Alzheimer is found less in the Indian population, with a quarter the rate of the United States. The curry powder is brimming with Turmeric which is packed with Curcumin that researchers at UCLA, say fends off Alzheimer. It does this by preventing the development of amyloid plaques. These are sticky proteins that are poisonous to our brain cells. Curcumin also protects us from dangerous free radicals, which metabolize with oxygen and then go on to attack cells, tissue and organs. Regular curries will keep you regular but also keep your mind sharp.
Tomatoes are really one of the most accessible super foods available. In addition to keeping you healthy looking, tomatoes also act in partnership with your skin to protect you from the sun. In tests, after daily exposure to UV sunlight exposure after 10 weeks, a trial group had 40% less sunburn. Sunburn is the surest way to burn and age your skin. Treat it with respect. It’s your largest living organ. | <urn:uuid:9c2064b8-6837-426e-b5db-b2e1b2628bc6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dr-olivier-clinic.com/top-five-anti-aging-diets-you-need-to-know-about/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.947846 | 535 | 2.359375 | 2 |

OCO’s mission is to lower the cost of formic acid production using just carbon dioxide, water and renewable electricity. This technical achievement is revolutionary because it incentives company to sell their CO2 rather than emit it into the air and it creates a product (formic acid) which can be easily used to make high pressure hydrogen. This would seemingly create a sustainable supply chain for hydrogen vehicles. It also acts as a cheaper alternative to batteries as it uses cheap renewable electricity to make formic acid an energy carrier which can then be easily converted to use as an energy source at a later date. | <urn:uuid:8a1b611c-9ff2-4286-a977-5b5edaf3e662> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cleantechalliance.org/2019/07/17/2019-showcase-presenting-company-recap-recycling-carbon-dioxide-to-store-energy-with-zirconia-inc/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.94997 | 140 | 2.65625 | 3 |

A Review of a Trio of Federal Bills Promoting Renewable Energy on Federal Lands
The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a trio of bills to stimulate renewable energy development on federal lands. Two of these bills, H.R. 1363 and H.R. 2004, focus on geothermal energy development, while the third, H.R. 596, focuses on solar and wind energy development. Two of the bills, H.R. 2004 and H.R. 596, are sound policies that should successfully promote renewable energy while preserving the environmental and economic viability of U.S. public lands. However, H.R. 1363 would unwisely and unnecessarily sacrifice the federal environmental review process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Congress should pass H.R. 2004 and H.R. 596, but should abandon H.R. 1363.
H.R. 1363 would exempt geothermal exploration from the NEPA review process. Under the bill, a leaseholder would need only to notify the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 30 days before drilling a well to test geothermal energy productivity. The agency would then have 10 days to review the project to determine if it meets the bill’s criteria for an exempt geothermal exploration project. If so, the project would require no further environmental analysis. If not, the BLM would have to explain why the project does not meet the bill’s criteria and give the leaseholder the opportunity to amend the project and again seek to qualify for the NEPA exemption.
H.R. 1363’s exemption from NEPA would be a radical departure from the currently required environmental review of proposed geothermal energy projects. NEPA, which has guided federal agencies for more than forty years, not only requires a consideration of the proposed project’s environmental impacts, but also requires consideration of a significant range of alternative projects. However, under H.R. 1363, federal land managers would have neither a duty nor discretion to review a geothermal exploration project’s environmental impacts. Consequently, H.R. 1363 would deprive federal decision-makers and the public of information necessary to make sensible, informed decisions about the merits of geothermal exploration. In fact, the Department of the Interior opposes H.R. 1363 for precisely this reason. Fortunately, H.R. 1363 seems unlikely to pass, as only two representatives have agreed to sponsor it.
H.R. 2004, (a.k.a S. 363) also focuses on geothermal energy, but does so without sacrificing important principles of environmental review. This bill would allow viable geothermal energy projects to lease one neighboring parcel of up to 640 acres on a non-competitive basis. The bill aims to solve a simple, concrete problem: once a geothermal resource is proven, competitors can speculatively bid for leases of nearby plots of land, which can deter investment in geothermal exploration and may even threaten the ongoing viability of a proven resource by tapping into the same source of geothermal energy. By allowing geothermal leaseholders essentially to expand their existing leases, H.R. 2004 would deter this sort of speculation and promote geothermal energy development. Because the non-competitive leases would still be issued at fair market value, the budgetary impact should be minimal. H.R. 2004 is good renewable energy policy, and the Senate has already passed it. The House should pass it promptly.
The broadest of the three bills, H.R. 596 would open U.S. rangeland and national forests to competitive leasing for renewable energy development. Currently, renewable energy development on public lands proceeds through individual applications for rights of way under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and the National Forest Management Act. The existing system is likely less efficient and less remunerative than H.R. 596’s proposed competitive bidding system. However, BLM testified to the House Subcommittee on Energy & Mineral Resources that the agency has already used its existing statutory authority to authorize construction of 52 large wind and solar projects, with nameplate capacity of over 10,000MW. Moreover, BLM also testified that it is already using existing authority to implement competitive bidding on certain land the agency deems especially suitable for solar power. This testimony from BLM reveals that the federal government is already working toward the goals of H.R. 596.
Still, H.R. 596 would still be a boon to renewable energy development for two important reasons. First, the bill would open for leasing far more land than BLM has already approved. BLM currently focuses on particular parcels of land, such as Solar Energy Zones, deemed best-suited for development. These Solar Energy Zones comprise roughly 285,000 acres. In contrast, H.R. 596 would open for competitive leasing all public lands except those that BLM or the Forest Service have formally excluded from solar or wind development. In other words, H.R. 596 would make available vastly more land for renewable energy leases.
Second, H.R. 596 would establish a royalty-splitting scheme that would attract broad support for renewable energy development by benefitting states, local governments, federal agencies, and the environment. Currently, all revenue from solar and wind development on public lands flows directly to the U.S. treasury. Neither states nor local governments receive any portion of lease revenues, and funding for agency permitting and environmental projects is contingent on congressional appropriations. H.R. 596 would fundamentally alter this arrangement by dividing lease revenues: 25% would flow to counties where renewable energy development takes place, 25% to the state, 25% to a Renewable Energy Resource Conservation Fund, 15% to the federal agency responsible for permitting, and 10% to the U.S. treasury. This division of royalties would ensure that various stakeholders see direct fiscal benefits from renewable energy development and should thus garner broad support for renewable energy.
In fact, the royalty-splitting scheme has already attracted broad support for H.R. 596. A representative from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Energy Policy supported the bill strongly, noting that it would help the state “become the Solar Capitol of the World.” The National Association of Counties also supported the bill, noting that for one Arizona county, projected revenues from renewable energy leases would equal a 10% property tax increase. The bill’s proposed conservation fund, which would preserve and restore habitat and recreational use of public lands, also attracted support from environmentalists, such as The Wilderness Society and Trout Unlimited.
