This Solar-Powered, Off-Grid Bike Can Bust Poachers Anywhere
A Swedish off-road bike company have worked on how to get fuel to bush bikes and stop poaching.
One of the many reasons we can't have nice things, such as the black rhino, is poaching. That sucks, so people protecting the few remaining bits of wildlife not being bought up like tacky holiday souvenirs for super-rich and shameless people need the right equipment. Bush bikes are an incredibly helpful tool to get to animals at risk from poachers as fast as possible, especially where bigger vehicles might not be able to negotiate the landscape.
South Africa Wildlife College, a conservation project in its own right that trains other conservationists, has teamed up with lightweight off-road electric bike maker Cake to make an anti-poaching two-wheeler: the Kalk AP. Weighing only 80 kilograms, or 176 pounds, it pairs a 2.6-kilowatt-hour battery with a simple 11-kW motor that powers a chain drive for up to three hours of running. Every Kalk AP bike purchased by a Cake customer sends one directly to anti-poaching conservationists, along with a solar panel and power station kit that allow the bike to be charged off-grid, wherever patrols need to be most.
Contrary to the concerns in Europe or the United States about grid capacity, for countries with areas that have poor or limited energy networks, EVs can provide a solution to fuel accessibility, and renewables present an opportunity to break reliance on fueled generators. Anti-poaching efforts are already using a lot of tech like drones to make their work more efficient and the Kalk AP represents a way to get a cool, fun bike yourself as well as screw over the likelihood someone gets to kill the last rhinos.
Cake has a lot of experience making fairly crazy off-road weapons, so you can guarantee it's pretty hoonable. Although it's not at all cheap at €25,000 ($30,340), it's not really about the ultimate piece of equipment you're getting, but the opportunity to give anti-poachers what they need to do their very good work. Only 50 Kalk AP bikes will be made, all of which are numbered, so if you're feeling philanthropic, it's a €1,000 ($1,210) deposit to get in on the scheme.
The rhinos will thank you by continuing to exist.

Numerous Asians have now been ingrained with this control from an early on era. Many give up leisure time to rehearse guitar or violin or learn. The pay off try wide range later on in life.
11. Obtain someone that is great at many recreation.
Asians appear to be amazing at a wide variety of tasks: music, art, party, martial arts, college, earning profits, working a technical business, and so on. Many people also complain that it’s always the Asians undertaking amazing genius-level affairs.
Many Asians lack muscles or athleticism since their own parents have all of them give attention to college. However they are you forgetting that Asians are nearly similar to martial arts? More Asian Us americans don’t learning martial arts or do anything sports, but there are many just who however carry out. Stop by a sports league, a health club, or a martials arts studio, and you should locate them.
12. certain unfavorable stereotypes is almost certainly not genuine for the Asian.
Stereotypes is generalizations, this means you’ll find a fraction who don’t fit all of them. If you’re fortunate, you may get an Asian which breaks the rest of the adverse stereotypes. You will find one who are muscular and assertive without passive and skinny.
You could believe all Asians are non-assertive, but reconsider. Remember these were brought up because of the the majority of voice, cut-throat folks in globally, opinionated, old-fashioned Asian moms.
13. The babies are definitely the cutest.
In case you are maybe not Asian, next, look at this: Asian interracial children are usually the more good-looking available. Few dispute this reality. Absolutely simply some thing about this unique mix that does amazing things. If both of you include Asian, then you’ll have actually sweet Asian kids.
14. they are compassionate and friendly.
A lot of Asians become nice guys, once again because of their cultural upbringing. Not one person undoubtedly loves being around or online dating an asshole. People just tolerate those people who are awful to them for some other redeeming traits, which frequently incorporate maleness, athleticism, assertiveness, reputation, and charm.
Better, with Asians, it’s not necessary to be worried about are around a terrible douche
As you can see, exactly why I would personally love Asian males. In fact, i am surprised the number of incredible traits there is. I not ever been stopped or suspected of stealing or committing a crime, probably because my race is actually used to this type of increased confidence.
Data implies that Asians never perform some finest in the American dating market, and that I wish we are able to change that by championing all of our strengths as opposed to glossing over all of them and shoring up our very own weak points to become the alteration you want to read in the field.
I am beginning with the guy within the mirror I’m inquiring your to change his approaches And no information might have been any crisper wireclub login If you want to make the globe an improved location
-Michael Jackson, guy in echo
Asians! Possible increase weak points by:
- working on your own assertiveness
- becoming kinds in the interest of being type in the place of creating hidden objectives you will definately get things reciprocally (which will ben’t correct kindness)
- building a far more muscular build
- practicing and boosting your personal and mental intelligence
- boosting your trend
- starting to be more positive, happy, and mentally healthier much less of a downer and complainer
- focusing on comprehension and displaying your maleness
- demonstrating your appealing attributes to people without hidden or downplaying them
- first and foremost, creating self-esteem about your self rather than according to exterior sources of delight and self-love

How to Transform Anxiety into Inspiration
Are you anxious at times? I am. Let’s face it, there’s plenty of anxiety to go around: the downturn in economy, lay-offs, relationship crises, pandemics, violence – and that’s just for starters.
Actually, anxiety is a natural alarm system that keeps us safe and productive. But it can become a chronic mindset. When that happens, it can deaden joy and stifle creativity.
How to tackle anxiety
In my life it’s not so much the big-ticket items like the current influenza or the economic meltdown that make me anxious, it’s the fact that I tend to over-commit myself. The result is that I’m always a bit behind schedule. Anyone else feel like that?
One way to deal with overload is to pare down commitments, as Leo Babauta describes in his beautiful post, How to be less busy in a busy, busy world. Another way is to change our ingrained thought patterns and emotional responses.
Luckily there are some wonderful techniques that can help us to stay relaxed, focused, grounded, and cheerful – even under pressure. After all, anxiety is not produced by something external. It’s an internal response to stress. We can train the mind to respond in a more skillful way.
I want to share with you how I stay reasonably sane, grounded, and creative in the midst of a full life. But first, let’s take a closer look at anxiety.
Fight-flight-freeze: three responses to anxiety
Anxiety is a low-grade fear. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of one’s anxiety. That’s because anxiety is pervasive, whereas fear has a clear target.
We are hardwired to respond in three different ways when faced with danger: fight, flight, or freeze.
Imagine that you are hiking in a National Park. Suddenly you spot a bear. Faced with immediate danger, you instinctively choose one of three options: you either try to scare off the bear by making yourself look big, or by shouting (that’s the ‘fight’ response). Or you immediately turn and run to safety (that’s the flight response). Or you stand very still in the hope that the bear won’t notice you (that’s the ‘freeze’ response).
Let’s look at how these responses play out in everyday life:
1. Fight: When we’re anxious, we tend to be irritable. This is the ‘fight’ response. Because anxiety is pervasive and doesn’t have a clear target, we tend to snap at those around us.
2. Flight: Sometimes we try to avoid what makes us anxious. People who suffer from severe anxiety even avoid stepping outside their home.
3. Freeze: The freeze response produces procrastination and stage fright. I certainly know about these two. You too?
Note that I’m talking about ordinary anxiety, and not about anxiety disorders. If you suffer from panic attacks or phobias, read this useful article, or get professional help.
Anxiety is an emotion that sends our mind into the future. After all, nobody is anxious about the past, right? As human beings we tend to think in stories that are like mind-movies. Anxious mind-movies usually have a ‘what if?’ scenario.
So what winds us up into anxiety are particular thought patterns and stories. Take a look at the following list and see if any points seem familiar:
1. Self-doubts: Do you doubt your ability? Do you think you haven’t got what it takes, in order to succeed?
2. Wanting Control of the future: Do you want to want to control what happens in future? The truth is that even if we lay great plans, the unexpected can happen. And life has inescapable tides: we age and finally die.
3. High self-expectations: Sometimes we become our own slave-driver. I must admit, that’s definitely a weakness of mine. It’s good to step back at times and check out whether our expectations are realistic – and kindly.
4. Fear of failure: Are you afraid to fail? The truth is that all learning entails failure. Prof. Tal Ben-Shahar, an exponent of the Positive Psychology movement says, “Learn to fail, or fail to learn.”
5. Not being present: This is a key factor of anxiety. When our thoughts dwell on the future, and we stop being truly present, that’s when we can become anxious.
As you can see in the list above, all these internal factors are mental habits that we can change in order to alleviate and transform anxiety. And it’s the last one – being present – that’s the key to inspiration.
Inspiration lives in the present
There is an amazing short video with Brother David Steindle-Rast – a Christian monk. As a boy, he experienced the last years of World War II in Germany. He tells of great hardships: never knowing where the next meal would come from, having to queue for hours for a small pitcher of water, and seeing bombs fall all around him.
Would you be anxious in a situation like this?
Surprisingly, Brother David wasn’t anxious – his experience was completely the opposite: it was one of the happiest times in his life! How could that be? His explanation is quite simple. Because there seemed no possibility of survival and no hope for the future, all he could do was to be in the present moment. This created a deep sense of happiness – in the midst of all that suffering.
Moments of inspiration – like watching the video of Brother David – remind us of our life purpose. We feel uplifted, excited, and yet grounded. I think the reason why moments of inspiration touch us so keenly, is because they remind us of our deepest aspirations.
Sometimes we confuse aspirations with personal goals, but they are completely different. Aspirations are the answer to the question: “What do I want to give the world?” Whereas personal goals are the answer to the question, “What do I want the world to give me?”
Four ways to transform anxiety into inspiration
Here are four ways you can start to transform anxiety into inspiration:
1. Simplify your life: The best guide I have seen so far, is Leo Babauta’s lovely new ebook The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life. He takes you right through the necessary steps to simplify your life. It doesn’t happen overnight but can definitely decrease anxiety in the long run.
2. Write everything down: Holding too many ideas and plans in one’s head can cause anxiety. A very simple remedy is to record all your ideas, dates, and schedules so that you free up your memory. Buy a simple notebook that you carry with you, or invest in a smartphone that can store appointments and ideas.
3. Learn to relax: The anxious body is tense and needs rest and relaxation. There is a good relaxation and sleep hypnosis recording, created by Jon Rhodes. It’s free and you can find it here
4. Practice meditation: If you really want to change the mental habits that keep you ensnared in anxiety, you’ll find meditation a real help.
I know it can be daunting to learn to meditate. And busy people sometimes find it difficult to set time aside to practice meditation. I’ve come across an easy way to get into meditation. I call it the Three-Breaths meditation. You can do it in one minute or less. It’s a natural way to meditate and doesn’t require you to learn complicated techniques.
The Three-Breaths Meditation entails taking a few moments each day in order to pay tender regard to three breaths as they flow in and out of your body. For best results, keep an upright posture so that your body and mind are well balanced. As thoughts come and go, observe them with soft attention and bring your focus gently back to your breath. I suggest practicing this easy micro-meditation a few times during the day. You’ll notice that it brings you right back home to the present moment.
Of course, there’s a lot to be said about turning anxiety into inspiration – that’s the subject of some of the work I do with my clients and integral change work… But, I hope that you can find something in this post that helps you to start moving away from anxiety and towards inspiration.
Learning to guide our mind away from unskillful emotions, like anxiety, fear, or anger, and towards kindness and cheerfulness, is a wonderful way to enhance our lives and bring about happiness.
If there’s one thing you take away from this post, I hope it’s that ease and inspiration come from experiencing the present moment.

Allow LGUs to procure COVID-19 vaccines, solon tells gov’t
MANILA, Philippines — The national government should allow local government units to procure their COVID-19 vaccines from manufacturers, Deputy Speaker Rufus Rodriguez said Tuesday.
Rodriguez has filed House Resolution No. 1460, where he invoked the constitutional right to health of every Filipino in appealing to allow local government units to purchase COVID-19 vaccines.
LGUs should be allowed to import vaccines for their constituents because the national government would only take care of the vaccination of 30% to 50% of the country’s population, he said.
Allowing LGUs and private companies to buy their own vaccine will greatly help the national government in achieving its goal of herd immunity.
“The government’s priority right should be having as many Filipinos as possible vaccinated in order to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic, get the economy on the road to recovery, and return the nation to pre-2020 normality,” he said in a statement.
More than 30 provinces and cities have already set aside funds for buying vaccines, with cities Makati, Quezon, And Taguig allocating P1 billion each.
Even small provinces like Biliran and Eastern Samar are raring to procure vaccines with allocations of P100 million and P500 million, respectively, Rodriguez noted.
He also filed a bill to exempt vaccine importation from duties, taxes and other fees.
While the Food and Drug Administration has yet to give its go-signal to the use of any COVID-19 vaccine, many LGUs have already negotiated with vaccine producers for their supply.
National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 chief and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. told senators that “no company” will directly go to the private sector or LGUs because they are not authorized to do so since “their product is only a EUA (emergency use authorization).”
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) director-general Eric Domingo also explained that COVID-19 vaccines being developed are new technologies and should be subject to monitoring by the national government, hence, the need for the private sector and LGUs to coordinate with them.

Light towers are an essential part of any construction site, but they aren’t always used effectively. In fact, many companies only use light towers as an afterthought and don’t take advantage of their full potential when it comes to lighting up your construction site—and that can cost you money and time down the road. To make sure you’re using Lighting Tower effectively, check out these tips for using light towers on your construction site!
What Is A Light Tower?
A light tower is a tall, portable light that is used to illuminate an area. They are commonly used on construction sites, in mining operations, and at large events. Light towers typically have four metal legs and a mast that extends upwards, supporting one or more powerful light bulbs. The height of the light tower and the number of bulbs can vary depending on the model.
The Benefits Of Light Towers
- Light towers are a great way to add light to a construction site.
- They can be used to illuminate dark areas, making it easier to work at night.
- They can also be used to create a safe working environment by providing light in areas where there is otherwise no power source.
- Additionally, light towers can be used to improve visibility for both workers and equipment.
- Finally, light towers can help save money by reducing the need for generators and other fuel-powered lighting sources.
How To Choose the Right Size of Light Tower For Your Job?
When it comes to light towers, size does matter. If you choose a light tower that's too small, it won't be effective. But if you choose one that's too large, you'll be wasting money on unnecessary features. So how do you know which size is right for your job?
Here are core tips to help you choose the right size of a light tower for your construction site:
- Consider the area you need to illuminate. The larger the area, the bigger the light tower you'll need.
- Think about the height of the tallest object in the area. The taller the object, the taller the light tower should be.
- Take into account any obstacles that might block the light, such as buildings or trees.
Best Practices For Installation And Operation Of Light Tower
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the installation and operation of the light tower.
- Make sure the light tower is properly grounded.
- Inspect the light tower regularly to ensure that it is in good working condition.
- Do not use extension cords with the light tower.
- Place the light tower in a location where it will not be obstructed by vehicles or other equipment.
- Turn off the light tower when it is not in use.
- Store the light tower properly when it is not in use.
In conclusion, following these tips will help you use Lighting Tower more effectively on your construction site. By taking the time to set up the towers properly, using the right bulbs, and spacing them out correctly, you can ensure that your site is well-lit and safe for workers.

Do Genes Shape our Politics?
I often think it's comical how Nature always does contrive
That every boy and every gal that’s born into the world alive
Is either a little Liberal or else a little Conservative!
— W.S. Gilbert
On June 1st, the New York Times columnist Thomas B. Edsall published an essay titled:
How Much Do Your Genes Shape Your Politics?
He has been asking this question intermittently for years:
2014: How Much Do Our Genes Influence Our Political Beliefs?
2013: Are Our Political Beliefs Encoded in Our DNA?
He is not alone. A substantial cohort of academics have been and are working on these questions, and many seem to be actively searching for answers that support the idea that our political values are based in biology, and that political ideology is to a significant extent heritable. Actual genetic studies tend to exhibit a stubborn recalcitrance to this conclusion, though in his latest essay Edsall examines very few of them, referring a bit vaguely to “huge amounts of data and computing power to uncover genetic contributions to complex social traits” and to twin studies, which are methodologically controversial. But the very repetition of the question over time works to validate the approach.
Edsall quotes 18 experts in this essay: One is a law professor, one is a science journalist with a doctorate in chemical engineering, two are professors of psychology, and 14 work in political science. None, however, are geneticists. Which may be why one professor of international relations, emailing a clarification, could come up with this potted history of human evolution:
So, you ask why doesn’t [political ideology] converge to universality over time like vision (all healthy people have two eyes etc.)? Well, likely because we need both tendencies in a population to survive (think of sex here: you need both male and female gametes to reproduce — if you eliminated all of one sex, survival would not happen[)]. So, we need conservatives to compete and fight and defend against other people, animals, climate, etc. and we need liberals to cooperate and build houses and so on. If you only have one side, you would end up with a lot of annihilation.
The only appropriate comment is [sic].
Another set of researchers Edsall cites investigated not whether genetic variants affect social opinions but whether people think genes affect social opinions, and concluded in their abstract (which Edsall essentially quotes):
Key findings are (1) genetic attributions are actually more likely to be made by liberals, not conservatives; (2) genetic attributions are associated with higher, not lower, levels of tolerance of vulnerable individuals; and (3) genetic attributions do not correlate with unseemly racial attitudes.
So, some racists think that differences between people are basically genetic while others do not. Good to know.
Concerns about abuses of genetic testing and huge DNA databases tend to focus on privacy. Less often explored are their contributions to reviving notions of biological determinism, and the potential social consequences that result. As Katie Hasson noted in 2020, “dubious claims abound in the genetics literature about the genetic basis of political affiliation and voting behavior.”
What happens to such notions when they reach the rough-and-tumble domains of political manipulation and economic exploitation, even when they are based on rigorous studies? Here’s one example: In 2019, careful research on genes associated with sexual orientation, published in Science, indicated that “like other behavioral traits, nonheterosexual behavior is polygenic.” Within weeks, an app was being sold called “How Gay Are You?” An uproar ensued and the app was removed from the website that handled its sale. But, as Wired reported, the app was not illegal, it could perhaps be used to screen tenants (for example), and it could reappear. This story serves as another reminder, after the recent shocking citation of genetic studies to justify white supremacist terrorism, that research originally considered purely theoretical can certainly be abused.
Scientists need to step up and confront the social implications of their research. As C. Brandon Ogbunu, a computational biologist at Yale wrote in Wired:
Quashing Racist Pseudoscience Is Science’s Responsibility
The recent act of racist terrorism in Buffalo has raised the stakes on how science is communicated and sold.
Research that assumes genetic influences on behavioral traits and tries to quantify their effects also feeds very easily into efforts to sell high-tech embryo selection technology to credulous but wealthy would-be parents hoping to raise the smartest, healthiest, and best-looking kids on their block. That’s essentially how a May 26 article in Bloomberg Businessweek frames the companies that are now promoting polygenic scores to rank IVF embryos:
The Pandora’s Box of Embryo Testing Is Officially Open
That article’s second paragraph insists that it “isn’t a story about Gattaca-style designer babies.” Oh, yes, it is, as Antonio Regalado, the biotech reporter perhaps best known for breaking the He Jiankui designer-baby story, retorted on Twitter. His entire thread is an excellent commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of the Bloomberg report. Regalado enumerates the similarities between the world of Gattaca and the embryo-ranking services, and points readers to a deleted scene from the movie that the CEO of Genomic Prediction, the company featured in the Bloomberg piece, posted to YouTube. (Genomic Prediction has, more than once, been discussed here at Biopolitical Times).
Edsall's aim in turning to research on genes and political beliefs is to understand political polarization, but the effect is to reinforce the idea that genes are destiny. Edsall has been a political commentator for decades, describing himself in 2001 as “less concerned with what ought to be than with what is likely.” Fair enough. But if he, or anyone else, wants to foist simplistic applications of genetics onto politics, the least we can expect is that they consult geneticists. And that the scientists concerned are aware of, and vocal about, the possible misappropriation of their research.

3650 was built at Swindon in December 1939 at a cost of £2,844 and finished in plain green livery with tank side GWR roundles.
BR motive power depot allocations since 1948.
|October 1953||Bristol Bath Road|
|January 1954||Cardiff East Dock|
|May 1958||St Philips Marsh|
Following withdrawal in September 1963, having completed 493,100 miles whilst in service, 3650 was disposed of to Stephenson Clarke P.D. Fuels Ltd and following removal of the vacuum brake pipes and steam heat it moved to Gwaun-cae-Gurwen in South Wales, where it was painted blue with red lettering along the tanks and used to move spoil slag heaps. It continued working until fire box bulges, a thin front tube and worn tyres, amongst other things, caused it to be stopped. From the subsequent evidence found during restoration very little maintenance work had been carried out on 3650.
3650 was initially allocated to Tyseley but in 1953 moved to Bristol Bath Road and then Radyr. In the following year it was transferred to Cardiff East Dock where it spent a year before moving on to Abereynon. In 1958 3650 moved to Bristol St Phillips Marsh where it spent three years before moving on once again but this time to Neath in 1961. It was condemned in 1963.
It was subsequently purchased by a GWR member in 1969 and moved to Bulmers at Hereford, where some restoration was done. However, heavy repairs were required, and in 1969 ownership was transferred to one of the Didcot volunteers who moved it to Didcot in 1970.
Didcot already had a 5700 class pannier (tank 3738) which was acquired from Barry scrap yard in 1974. 3738 was in better condition than 3650 so it was but lacked the non ferrous pipe work and fittings which had been removed whilst at Barry. It was decided to use 3650 as a source of spares for 3738 being a far easier restoration project. As a result 3738 was working again in two years.
In 1984 further dismantling of 3650 commenced, firstly the tanks were removed followed by the cladding later that year. The boiler was removed two years later followed after another year by the wheels. In 1987 3650 moved into the newly erected workshop at Didcot and restoration work commenced.
After some 20 years of restoration effort the boiler inspection was satisfactorily completed in July 2008 and the locomotive became available for traffic. Initially the locomotive was turned out in “industrial” Stephenson Clarke blue livery, but once run in it was painted into its original Great Western “shirt button” badge livery. It became available for traffic in its new livery in April 2009.
The locomotive was taken out of service in 2016.
The overhaul of 3650 started in July 2018 with the aim of having it back in service in 2021.

This is the inaugural post in the “Best Books” forum. I selected “The Design of Everyday Things” by Don Norman for three reasons: 1) It’s excellent; 2) The principles expressed within it are relatively simple but profoundly impactful; 3) I read it recently, so it’s been on my mind lately.
This book was originally published in 1988, and has since sold more than 100,000 copies (as the cover proudly asserts). Somehow I managed to miss reading it for 18 years, but finally stumbled onto my own copy just last year. I found it moving, motivating, and life changing. Even more than that I found it affirming as a user of the world around me.
“Most accidents are attributed to human error, but in almost all cases the human error was the direct result of poor design.”
“When you have trouble with things — whether it’s figuring out whether to push or pull a door or the arbitrary vagaries of the modern computer and electronics industry — it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself: blame the designer. It’s the fault of the technology, or, more precisely, of the design.”
As someone with a Ph.D. in Computer Science I’ve had the repeatedly uncomfortable experience of helping someone with some random, poorly designed program or device, and they look at me like my background and education will allow me to divine the purpose and processes that underly a pitifully designed piece of whatever. Alas, my doctoral research was not in bad design or horrible user interface. But alack, much of my experience as a user is!
Even more demoralizing is witnessing a user being systematically dehumanized by software, or by some device. I watched a desk clerk stumble through a pitifully designed program, running on Windows, and then watched her look up at me, completely defeated, and apologetically murmur, “I’m just not good with computers.” I looked back at her and said, “Maybe it’s the program that’s stupid. Maybe it was poorly designed, and that’s why you’re struggling to do something so simple.” Her look was priceless, like this idea had never before dawned on her in her entire life.
Some tidbits that I found particularly meaningful:
“… good design is also an act of communication between the designer and the user, except that all the comunication has to come about by the appearance of the device itself.”
“Rule of thumb: when instructions have to be pasted on something (push here, insert this way, turn off before doing this), it is badly designed.”
Norman talks about door knobs, light switches, keyboards, and lots of other everyday devices that routinely drive us nuts.
“Designers go astray for several reasons. First, the reward structure of the design community tends to put aesthetics first. Design collections feature prize-winning clocks that are unreadable, alarms that cannot easily be set, can openers that mystify. Second, designers are not typical users. They become so expert in using the object they have designed that they canot believe that anyone else might have problems; only interaction and testing with actual users throughout the design process can forestall that. Third designers must please their clients, and the clients may not be the users.”
You get the idea. I don’t care what you do for a living. Read this book!

This US restaurant once fed 3,000 soldiers per day on a NATO base
Customers visiting one North Carolina eatery are often surprised to learn of the venue’s past life in a war zone. db talks kebabs and military life with its owner.
Afghan Kabob in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is loved locally for its grilled meats, falafel and authentic Afghan cuisine, but military buffs are having their appetites stoked by the restaurant’s colourful history.
The eatery, based inside an industrial shipping container, was picked up and transported to North Carolina from its original location, a NATO base in southern Afghanistan.
Founder Helal Dur was deployed to Kandahar as a civilian contractor in 2006 and assigned to elite team, the US Navy SEALs. While there, he noticed that there was no opportunity for troops consigned to base to taste Afghan dishes.
“We were not allowed to leave the ‘green zone’ – which was the base, but I wanted my team to try authentic food,” Dur, who is Afghan by birth, told the drinks business. “How can you go to Afghanistan for six months, 12 months, and not even try the food?”
After being denied the chance to open a restaurant on base more than 100 times, Dur finally gained approval, quit his job and began building a restaurant on-site.
The ‘venue’ was a 40-foot shipping container, with a full kitchen inside.
Ingredients were shipped over by a company based in Dubai, due to access difficulties amidst disputes with the Taliban.
“We basically filled up a cargo airplane with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil and meat supplies,” says Dur. “I never knew how much I appreciated tomatoes in my life. I was hugging tomatoes and lettuce.”
Dur and his team served up to 3,000 soldiers a day and by 2013, his business had grown to eight shipping containers with 200 employees working in the kitchen.
“We had mostly kebabs and rice on the menu but I also tried to bring something from home because I knew that soldiers missed dishes like philly cheesesteak, curly fries, onion rings,” Dur told db. “Ingredients weren’t readily available, so we had to make the best of what we had. We couldn’t get foot-long Italian bread, for example, so we started wrapping philly cheese steak in naan bread like a burrito. The soldiers really appreciated it.”
He met his North-Carolina born wife on the base, when she became a customer. “We had a little fight when we first met because she didn’t like my food and now 10 years later we are married and she has to eat that food every day!” Dur says.
The two eventually decided to relocate Dur’s restaurant business to the US, choosing the town of Fayetteville, partly for its large military population.
Afghan Kabob re-opened in its new location in December 2020. “I wanted that same experience for soldiers that have been to Afghanistan to enjoy that food at home,” Dur says. “I get soldiers that come in and thank me for opening it here because they miss the food, or they want to share part of the experience they had over there with their loved ones.”
Unfortunately, the restaurant has experienced a slew of difficulties since the start of the pandemic, including being beset with labour and supply issues.
“The customer demand is there but we can’t find people who want to work. I’ll set up 15 interviews and only two people will show up,” says Dur. “There have been times where my wife is running the register and I’m in the kitchen cooking. It breaks my heart to tell customers I can’t take their order because I can’t cook for 100 people by myself. I’d rather not serve any food than bad food.”
Dur, who makes all his sauces fresh in house, says that the rising cost of raw materials means he is also having to scrap dishes from his menu.
“We have some of the lowest prices in the area but we can’t keep up. Everything has gone up by at least 10% – meat, vegetables, cooking oil, you name it. How can we sell a plate of lamb chops for under US$15? After cooking and gas, employee costs and ingredients, it costs me US$18 to make it. Many other restaurant owners are struggling like us.”
Dur’s long-term goal has always been to open more locations and franchise out. However he says “The way things are going, I can’t see that happening any time soon.”
He goes on to say: “I miss everything about Afghanistan. The craziness. And especially the amazing food.”

I find it odd that “race” is mostly defined by the darkness of a person’s skin. This seems like an arbitrary distinction, because there are so many other parameters of the human body, any one of which could be used to create categories.
For example, imagine what the world would be like if we had decided to define “race” by hair color instead of skin color…
– Cities divided into neighborhoods, each one having a particular color hair.
– People with a particular hair color would be more likely to be wealthy, educated, employed, and owning their own home.
– Certain professions would be mostly the same hair color.
– People would have insulting slang terms for people with different hair colors.
– People with different hair colors would listen to different kinds of music, have their own TV channels, and would be eligible for hair color specific scholarship programs.
– Some marriages that are currently interracial would no longer be, and vice versa.
– You’d hear someone say “You wouldn’t understand; it’s a brunette thing.”
– You could be in danger for having the wrong hair color in a particular place or situation. You might even lose your life for it.

The Least Possible Baggage: About Walking
This is a one hour radio documentary done for CBC Radio's Ideas Show in 2004. It includes a number of different stories related to walking but the ones that relate to this province are a section about the Take Back the Night Walk in St. John's, one about Elizabeth Penashue's walk in traditional Innu hunting areas of Labrador and discussion of the East Coast Trail and issues of public access to the coast. The CBC blurb for the program said: "Elizabeth Yeoman presents an ode to the joys of walking. A good, long walk nourishes the mind and heals body and soul. It might even change the world."

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid): It has been identified as a crucial element in the nerve, brain, and eye tissue. DHA is essential in the development of infants motor skills and visual acuity. DHA is abundant in the breast milk and today it can also be found on DHA supplemented formula. The harp seal oil is a good source of DHA. Also our bodies are able to convert ALA into EPA and DHA. Therefore if one is in good health and consumes ground flax seeds and dark green leafy vegetables, our bodies will be able to produce EPA and DHA from ALA (Dobbing 1997).
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid): it is abundant in seal oil. It is important to our bodies as it reduces blood clots and inflammation in our cardiovascular system. People with diets rich in EPA are less prone to inflammation of the intestine (Crohn's disease), inflamed joints (Rheumatoid arthritis), asthma, lupus, skin disease and multiple sclerosis. EPA is found primarily in cold water fish like cod, tuna and salmon. It is also found in fresh seaweed, and in smaller amounts it is found in organically bred animal products like grass-fed beef, free-range eggs and chickens.

Elemental iron it is the iron amount that is present in a given iron supplements which is there to be absorbed. Elemental iron is used when the iron in the diet alone is not enough to restore deficient the iron levels to normal for an individual in an acceptable timeframe. Elemental iron is crucial to individuals when one is experiencing various clinical symptoms that are associated with iron deficiency anemia. The main reason for the provision of elemental iron orally as supplements is to ensure that there is sufficient supply of iron that is necessary in the restoration of the normal iron storage level and also ensure that the hemoglobin deficit is replenished.

Iron, a very abundant metal on Earth, is crucial to a lot of life forms and also in the human body physiology. In the human body, iron is a crucial component of proteins that are involved in the transport of oxygen in the body. Iron also plays a role in the regulation of the cell growth and also differentiation. A low iron in the body will limit the delivery of oxygen to the cells, which will result in poor work performance, fatigue, and decreased immunity. Also excess amount of iron in the human body is dangerous and can lead to death.
Calcimine has also popularly referred to as calsomine, kalsomine or white wash; it is a type of a paint that is inexpensive which is made from chalk for whiting and slaked lime or calcium hydroxide. Other additives such as glue, marine glass, Portland cement, soap, salt, milk or flour are used in making it. Calcimine as a paint can easily be washed away by water. If this gets to the food chain it can be detrimental to the human health and can lead to colon cancer.
Macrobiotic diet is a way of life, involve the eating of grains as a staple food and they are supplemented by other foodstuffs like beans, vegetables and fruits and they avoid the use of food that are refined or processed. Macrobiotic diet also means eating in a way that one does not overeat and one is supposed to chew the food thoroughly before it is swallowed. It has been fronted as a means of fighting cancer (Duffy 2004). It is drawn from the concept of an individual consuming natural, plant-based diet, organic and with a little fish in the diet.
Nitrate and nitrite and nitro saline are compounds that have a nitrogen atom that are joined to oxygen atoms. A nitrate has three oxygen atoms and a nitrite has two atoms. In the nature, they are all easily converted e.g. nitrates to nitrites and the vice versa. They all anions, which are ions that have a negative charge and tend to associate with cations, so as to get a neutral charge. Most of the nitrates are used in the making of fertilizer, glass and explosives. Nitrites are made mainly as food preservative, and both nitrates and nitrites are used in the enhancement of color and in increasing of the shelf life of meat that is processed.

How do You Pray for Surgery?
“My Father, You are with me so I will not fear. You are my God so I will not faint. I pray that you strengthen me, I pray that you help me, and I pray that you uphold me with your righteous right hand. I also that you see me through this surgery. Guide the hands of the surgeon as they operate on me. I give you thanks my Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
God is in control, do not fear, your heavenly Father will see you through this surgery alive.
Encouraging Bible Verses for Surgery KJV
The following Bible verses are hand-curated and are some of the most relevant bible verses for surgery (KJV).
1. Isaiah 41:10
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

2. Exodus 15:26
Even before your surgery, the Lord says ” If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.”

10. Isaiah 43:1-2
“But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”
God will not lie, He has given you His word and He will not take it back.

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.”

Ask others to pray for and with you.
17. Jeremiah 30:17
“‘But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord.”
God will restore your health.
What is a Good Bible Verse for Healing KJV?
Jerimiah 17:14 is a great bible verse to confess for healing because it says, “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”
Read, meditate, confess, and remind God about His promise to heal you here in Jerimiah.
Moreover, you can also read another healing scripture in the bible in Isaiah 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.”
What is a Good Bible Verse for Strength and Healing?
Isaiah 41:10 is the perfect Bible Verse for Strength and Healing and it says, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
God has given you a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind, do not fear. Exorcise faith in God and watch His healing and strength come upon your body.
God uses men to bless men and He will use surgeons to help you overcome your medical condition. But what does God say about surgeons?
Is surgery Mentioned in the Bible?
The scriptures haven’t said anything directly about surgery, but circumcision and castration are considered surgical operations, and they are mentioned in Genesis 17:10-11 and Deuteronomy 32:2.
Final Encouraging Word on Bible Verses for Surgery KJV
May God bless, keep, and cause His face to shine upon you. God has you covered, He is looking over you now when you go into the operation room, and after your surgery. God will shield you, keep you, and grant you a quick recovery after the surgery.

The new CoWin portal is not just likely to improve the user interface on the platform but will also simplify existing features to cater to a larger proportion of the population expected to pre-register in the next phase drive that opens for those above the age of 45.
The Union health department is expecting over 4-5 million daily registrations on the CoWin platform. As per government data, at present, daily vaccination in the country is estimated to be between 2.5 million to 3 million with only a tenth of those being vaccinated having pre-registered on the CoWin platform.
As per estimates, so far, the highest vaccination in a day was registered on March 22 when close to 2.75 million people got the first dose while three lakh people were administered the second dose. India has so far vaccinated over six crore people countrywide since January 15 when it first began vaccinating healthcare and other frontline workers.
Also to bring in more people in the online registration fold, the government has added several features including simplified visibility on slots available for users within their locality as well as log-in and registration prompt through the same OTP.
The software is also being modified to do away with the need to upload a comorbidity certificate at the time of online registration and onsite registration. It has also dropped the automatic booking of slots for the second dosage of the vaccine and is leaving it to people to register for it within 6-8 weeks of their first dose.
The government has also introduced an hourly monitoring mechanism to track the progress of vaccination drives, this will provide real time information on authorised centres that are not providing slots or offer visibility on other operational snags.

A high-powered body has outlined a basic promotional framework in a bid to help bolster
Bangladesh's image worldwide through evolving a 'country branding' as the cornerstone
of all potential promotional activities.
The Strategic Country Promotion Council (SCPC) has also decided, in principle, to
appoint a creative branding agency to evolve a "unique branding" for Bangladesh.
A pool of professionals would be engaged in this connection. The move is expected to
help promote Bangladesh's image both domestically and internationally, now marred by
poverty, natural disasters and religiously-linked violence.
The nine-member SCPC headed by the Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan envisions to
highlight Bangladesh as a 'moderate', 'democratic developing country' with immense
investment and business potentials, a highly-placed source at the Foreign Office said in an
exclusive dialogue with the FE.
The source said that the SCPC has already drafted the Bangladesh Strategic Country
Promotional Plan (2005-10), reviewing the existing promotional techniques of the
traditional agencies. The plan may be submitted to the Prime Minister shortly for her
Noting that country branding has become a popular and effective approach to country
promotions, the draft plan said: "Bangladesh should be differentiated by highlighting its
inherent strength and competitive advantages".
The draft plan added that Malaysia bills itself as "Truly Asia", the Maldives as "The
sunny side of life", Kerala as "God's Own Country", Sri Lanka as "The Pearl of the Indian
Ocean", Hong Kong as "Asia's World City", Singapore as "Global Business Hub", and
China does as the "Factory of the World".
Unfortunately, official sources said, Bangladesh had never attempted to create a unique
brand image for the country's promotion - a widely recognised and effective tool, which
could otherwise help wipe out its negative perception.
The high-powered council has devised five fundamental promotional strategies -
targetting countries, country branding, integrated approach to country promotion,
improving competitiveness and routine monitoring and evaluation.
Considering the present business relations and prospects, global investment trends,
relocation strategies and industrial structures of foreign direct investment (FDI) source
countries, the SCPC initially identified 23 locations, including Bangladesh, as "strategic
target" to be undergone for aggressive and planned promotion.
The initial target locations for promoting the country are: Bangladesh, India, South Korea,
Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, China, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran,
Russia, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Germany, France,
South Africa, Belgium, Italy, Canada and the United States.
In addition, the council suggests the government may opt for the unilateral visa waivers
for the citizens of these countries, given the immediate economic interests.
The SCPC will conduct the promotional programme by collectively integrating all
It will also suggest the government on various aspects of business facilitation and
competitiveness attainment that would be skilfully promoted.
In terms of monitoring, a regular and strict monitoring system will be establish. A
professional management team would be employed for the purpose.
If approved by the Cabinet, sources said, the plan would be adopted as the national
country promotion policy, first of its kind in Bangladesh's history.
The supporters of the plan say it is a right decision of the government to work out such a
long-term strategy as the recurrent bomb blasts and religious extremism had already
dampened the country's image.
Its opponents, however, said the strategy should be "bi-partisan" and suggested that
opposition leaders should have been inducted in the council.
"Otherwise, the plan might run into bad weather," they added.
The nine-member council, with representatives from the key promotional agencies such
as the Ministry of Information, Privatisation Commission, Export Promotion Bureau,
Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authority, the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
and Industry and the Foreign Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was formed
in late 2004.
A gazette notification was issued by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in this respect on
August 7, 2004.
The committee had a series of parleys and had already approved the draft plan.

This week’s post is an opinion piece from global money transfer firm, Xpress Money.
Sudhesh Giriyan, company COO, has been campaigning for a change to industry regulations which allow some businesses to charge as much as 20% fees for money transfer.
Here’s what he has to say:
In 2009 the G8 set a target of reducing average remittance charges to five percent. However, six years on and we are still woefully short of that target. Candidly, we have seen intensive lobbying in this sector, creating effective monopolies in some countries that exploit those in need.
In many cases, the funds being transferred are sent by low-paid workers seeking to assist family members in their native countries. Sums that are transferred are often relatively small, and it is extraordinary that some businesses in our sector choose to exploit their customers and charge the fees that they do.
The average cost for sending remittances globally is around 7.6% – a figure that has largely been inflated by costs charged in sub-Saharan Africa which, in some cases, amount to as much as 20%. This could mean that if someone were to work 40 hours a week for minimum wage and sent all of it to their family living in sub-Saharan Africa, they might be charged £53.60 in remittance fees, equating to a full days’ work.
A global issue
Despite the economic and financial crisis of 2008, global migration continues to rise, with some 232 million migrants – that’s over 3% of the world’s population, crossing oceans, mountains, and deserts to live and work outside their country of origin.
The UK has a fantastically diverse immigrant community amounting to approximately 13% of its population. The majority of these are shown to have crossed international borders in search of better opportunities, particularly for employment – a keen motivation for migrants’ relocation to the UK since 2012.
Over 70% of them send money home on a regular basis – a market now worth more than £400 billion globally. A staggering £15bn is sent from the UK every year, with an estimated two-thirds transferred to developing countries according to recent World Bank estimates.
Seen as both simple and convenient, money transfer services are an established method of transferring money between families and friends internationally. Growing increasingly popular in the expatriate Asian, African and Eastern European populations within the UK; these services are typically operated through convenience stores, where a customer visits a local store, arranges the transaction in moments, and where (in most cases) the funds are immediately available to the recipient in either cash payments or in a bank account, on a mobile wallet or remit card. Delivery services to the recipients’ homes are also available in some receiving countries.
Depending on the recipient country, these transfers can have a huge impact on national capital; India, for example, received 70 billion dollars last year – larger than its IT exports, whereas in Tajikstan, remittances equated to 42% of its GDP. In smaller, more fragile countries, remittances are a lifeline; acting as insurance for families facing hardships or unexpected expenses.
As claimed by lead World Bank economist, Leora Klapper, the global remittance market also presents “dramatic opportunities for groups looking to expand financial inclusion within under-represented and under-served communities”.
What we’re seeing however, is a wilful disregard of both the circumstances surrounding (and the regularity of) payments, and a subsequently huge variation in fees and customer rates between different international territories. This means that some money transfer companies are able to exploit not only the remittance system and its users, but directly disadvantage their own clientele, eroding confidence and trust in the service as a whole.
The way forward
We agree with former UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan – one of the greatest advocates for reform and who only last year called for a formal investigation by London financial regulators. He argued that reforming the money transfer system and regulating the charges made on international remittances is of key importance to the health and ongoing prosperity of the remittance market.
Pulling back the lens, this doesn’t stop with regulatory reforms. We are seeing new opportunities in this global marketplace as more and more people choose to do things on-the-go, leveraging digital platforms in all sorts of ways. Transactions of every nature; from grocery shopping to banking and social exchanges are happening all of the time via apps and online channels.
We believe conventional modes of money transfer will continue to enjoy a broad customer base, but there is a huge opportunity for money transfers in the digital space, as people want a more convenient option for sending money. The modern customer is busy and may not have the time to visit a physical location to send or receive money. Xpress Money has been focussed on ramping up its digital money transfer offerings and our new platform called XOPO, is the result of that endeavour.
XOPO is designed for this new digitally savvy customer. It’s a global platform enabling secure payments across social networks and messaging apps. The UK is the first market in the world from which users can send money internationally, across popular social networks. Our customers can send up to £3,000 abroad instantly simply by sending a message or a status update. Users can also send digital content – photos, videos, messages, along with the money transfer – adding emotions and experiences to the transfer process. Whether you are sending £300 or £3,000, XOPO charges a flat fee of £2.99 on money transfers using the app.
We have also launched self-service kiosks in Australia, which are placed in popular convenience stores that users can build their money transfers on. The aim is to take this kiosk model to other countries such as the UK in the near future. This is about giving control back to the customer – they are in charge of when, how and who they want to send money.
Our global average cost for sending remittances via Xpress Money is 2.09% and we see no reason why any money transfer business should be in a position to charge substantially more than this. This increasing demand for digital channels of money transfer will definitely work towards lowering the costs of sending remittances – something we welcome.
About Xpress Money

Among the many sessions I participated in at this year’s CHNM THATCamp, one of the most interesting to me was on the future of “digital literacy,” proposed by Jeff McClurken. The concept of digital literacy has continued to show up in University missions, QEPs, “outcomes,” and general pedagogical discourse–I know I’ve routinely encountered it in discussions about Composition 1 and 2 at Marymount, though we use the phrase “informational literacy.”
The premise of the session was the problematic sense that the concepts, attitudes, and skills of digital literacy are already organizing early education, and therefore, in college, students naturally have a familiarity with those concepts, attitudes, and skills. Partially, this seems to be a branch of the “millennial” and “digital native” arguments, which we all know are over-generalizations that misrecognize the pervasiveness of facebook use as a sign of critical thinking driven by digital embeddedness. (There’s the 2010 Cenage study, to start with, though there are some concerns about its source and methodology; if you have more links central to this debate, post them in the comments!)
The core ideas of digital fluency include, broadly, the ability to consume digital information, express ideas digitally, and analyze digital information. The UMW QEP learning outcomes are particularly useful as a model, and they provide some helpful language if you’re interested in developing assignments. As I reflect on our crowdsourced notes, though, one of the things that strikes me is this portion of the UMW QEP:
Faculty will demonstrate a proficiency in teaching with digital and information resources by:
- identifying specific digital resources which are relevant and important to the subjects they are teaching
- understanding how digital resources can be used to create effective and progressive learning environments
- improving and enhancing existing curriculum with the integration of digital tools and resources
- developing assessment techniques and tools for student work that uses digital resources
This is perhaps the most important keystone in any university-wide approach to digital fluency, and it is unfortunately true that many faculty in higher education are not, themselves, digitally literate. A lot of this may stem from the pipeline effect of academic education and the tenure process. How do we begin to bridge this divide, bringing the conditions of possibility for student-centered digital literacy to the table? The discussion at THATCamp revolved generally around ways to address, integrate, and build digital fluency at our institutions, and two really interesting points emerged.
One of the most foundational impediments to full integration is linguistic–the continued distinction between an unmarked, prior, normative “literacy,” on the one hand, and a marked, secondary, different “digital literacy,” on the other. Today, it is no longer practically possible to be literate without being digitally literate, even if we don’t recognize literacy as digital literacy. What would happen if we functionally re-signified “literacy”?
The second point that we discussed was the fact that while we, as faculty, expect our students to radically shift the way they think about, for instance, eighteenth-century British novels (remember, of course, that most have never encountered any–outside, perhaps, of Robinson Crusoe–before your class). Students are understandably frightened of unfamiliar material, unfamiliar categories, unfamiliar language, unfamiliar methods. And yet, we expect them–rightfully–to leave the class with the unfamiliar having become, in some measure, familiar. It’s not okay for students to remain static in their thinking. Why, then, is it the norm for faculty?
Be uncomfortable, try something new, and sell that attempt to your colleagues. “Try again, fail again, fail better.”
What kind of a university would yours become if this were the case? What are the impediments failing better? And are those anxieties real anxieties, or are they what Amanda French called “the Perils of Pauline”? Is the faculty rut a symptom of the fear of academic openness?

Members of the public have until mid-January to have their say on a new management plan for coastal reserves around Dunedin.
Dunedin City Council staff have identified 11 coastal reserves across the city - including at Brighton, Karitane, Long Beach, Ocean View, Waikouaiti and Warrington - to be reclassified under the council's draft coastal dune reserve management plan.
The change would result in the reserves' status being changed from recreational areas to local purpose (coastal protection) zones, providing new powers to protect the sensitive areas at the expense of some recreational rights.
Councillors at a recent meeting of the community development committee voted to approve the draft management plan, containing the reclass-ifications, for a two-month period of public consultation.
Depending on the number of submissions received, a public hearing could follow.
A report to the meeting by council reserves policy and planning officer Dolina Lee said the change aimed to protect and preserve the dunes while providing for recreation where possible.
Under the Reserves Act 1977, local authorities were required to classify the primary use of the reserves they owned.
Speaking to the Otago Daily Times earlier this year, council community and recreation services manager Mick Reece said changes in the reserves' status recognised the importance of protecting the coastal environment from flooding, erosion and other threats.
"You can't recreate if the dunes disappear and you are inundated, so the primary driver for managing the reserves should be coastal protection," he said.
Consultation was the latest step in the development of the draft plan, stretching back to 2002.
Approval of the reclass-ifications was needed by the Department of Conservation, and a final approval of the changes would be made at a subsequent council meeting.

"History shows that affordable communities today may not be affordable tomorrow."
Our fair city’s romance with the wrecking ball and bulldozer is well documented. So it seemed like cause for huzzahs when the Atlanta Urban Design Commission denied a request to demolish the Auburn Avenue building that once was home to the Atlanta Daily World, the country’s first black-owned daily paper.The Integral Group — a developer with a track record of working on urban projects, including the redevelopment of Grady Homes — planned to preserve the World’s facade and replace its guts with new apartments, affordably priced and presumably appealing to Georgia State University students. Critics said saving the façade wasn’t enough, and more than 1,100 people signed a petition protesting Integral and GSU (never mind that the school wasn’t formally associated with the project).
One has to wonder: If the written words “Trump” are enough to send some students into a tailspin, how do they react to sound bites of Trump on NPR or clips of him on cable television? Do they unplug the TV? Do they submerge the radio in a vat of acid?

I hold that a sound understanding of the shariah should include at least the following three major positive outcomes, and if an understanding doesn’t, there’s something wrong with it. As Ibn Al-Qayyim put it, “every issue that goes from justice to oppression, from mercy to its opposite, from benefits to loss, from wisdom to imprudence, then it is not the shariah even if it is made to appear so through interpretation (of revelation).”
1. It should result in (increased) godliness: “God increases the guidance of those who follow right guidance, and grants them their taqwa [of Him].” (47:17) This verse tells us that by following right guidance we are increased in guidance and God consciousness. So from this and other verses, I generally conclude that any understanding (or view) of the shariah that neglects rabbaniyyah, diminishes consciousness of God or impedes its growth, and fails to prove inspirational in a way that develops a person holistically, does not reflect what God wants.
2. It brings about optimum outcomes which include noble virtues and prosperity: “When the righteous are asked, ‘What has your Lord sent down?’ they say, ‘All that is good.’ There is a reward in this present world for those who do good…” (16:30) So any understanding of the faith that doesn’t lead to ‘all that is good’ – i.e. optimum outcomes – ‘in this present world’ including civility, intelligence (a sound, sustained and productive use of the intellect), and moral conduct, as well as social, political, and economic welfare, is not a sound understanding. As Ibn al-Qayyim put it above, “it is not the shariah even if it is made to appear so through interpretation (of revelation).”
3. It brings about happiness and contentment: Through producing optimum outcomes that are relative to the context, the shariah creates positive opportunities to thank God since it is the primary purpose for which we are on earth, with Iblis’s ultimate objective to ensure “most of them are ungrateful.” (7:17) So any understanding that brings about sorrow, anxiety, hatefulness, despair, confusion, suffering etc., where these negative outcomes are directly induced by actions necessitated by a particular understanding, cannot be a sound understanding of the shariah. They do not reflect the ‘light’ and ‘peace’ God speaks of when he says, “God guides to the ways of peace those who follow what pleases Him, bringing them from darkness out into light, by His will, and guiding them to a straight path.” (5:16) Furthermore, God says, “The truth has come, and falsehood has passed away: falsehood is bound to pass away. We send down the Quran as healing and mercy to those who believe,” (17:81-82) where ‘truth’ understood properly heals these maladies and God’s mercy fills believers with contentment and dignity.
Now I understand that various questions might arise, such as: how do we determine whether an understanding increases godliness, and brings about optimum outcomes and contentment? How do we then explain those people who practice the faith but are not content? I would briefly put it that these poor souls have not understood the entire edifice of the shariah and how it works in a holistic way, which results in internal conflicts where their understanding of the shariah doesn’t work in the real world, or where they haven’t appropriately understood what they’re doing and how to effectuate optimum outcomes. I’m sure some might put it simplistically that such people are merely overcome by worldly desires, but given the question applies to those who practice their faith sincerely, I’m not convinced such a retort applies here.
However, putting aside these short responses, I believe these questions are best answered by actually teaching the shariah and showing what I mean in practice (rather than musing with hypothetical scenarios) – the functionalist approach I speak of – so that we can fully see how it all works.

Leaders from Canada’s emerging bio-economy sector gathered in Ottawa this month for the “Scaling Up: Delivering Canada’s low-carbon, bio-based economy through sustainable innovation” conference. Jeff Passmore organized and hosted the event, bringing together a wide-range of Industry, Government, Academic, and International professionals. BioApplied was pleased to be an active participant. It was an opportunity to hear first-hand, the challenges, successes, and best practices in creating new industries across a spectrum of technologies and innovations in this field.
The program featured close to 50 presentations and panelists covering the full spectrum of interests in this arena, from financing, to social license, research, technology, supply-chain, feedstocks, policy, and more.
For those of us from BioApplied, it was encouraging to hear of a growing number of projects, some successful and others near success, that are operational or starting-up in jurisdictions across North America and Europe. But all was not sugar-coated. It was made clear that the challenges are many, and there is a need for perseverance and resilience. Chief among the challenges are access to two vital resources; feedstock and capital. There is a host of effective and efficient production technologies already in play across the world, but without secure access to feedstock at an economical cost, the project will not attract the capital required to see the light of day. Jordan Solomon of Ecostrat advised that bioeconomy projects often face risk associated with feedstock costs that are not grounded-in-reality. This leads to a higher cost of capital that can often send a project’s financial projections into the red, underscoring the absolute need for access to a cheap, secure supply of feedstock.
Nova Scotia recently announced a project that is exploring innovative uses of forest products and new market opportunities in the bioeconomy. The learning and network provided through this conference is timely, and will be helpful for the journey that lays ahead.

1942. With the Nazi Party at the height of its power, the occupying army empties Poland's towns and cities of their Jewish citizens. As neighbor turns on neighbor and survival often demands unthinkable choices, Poland has become a moral quagmire—a place of shifting truths and blinding ambiguities.
Blending folklore and fact, Helen Maryles Shankman shows us the people of Wlodawa, a remote Polish town. We meet a cold-blooded SS officer dedicated to rescuing the Jewish creator of his son's favorite picture book; a Messiah who appears in a little boy's bedroom to announce that he is quitting; a young Jewish girl who is hidden by the town's most outspoken anti-Semite—and his talking dog. And walking among these tales are two unforgettable figures: silver-tongued Willy Reinhart, commandant of the forced labor camp who has grand schemes to protect "his" Jews, and Soroka, the Jewish saddlemaker, struggling to survive.
Channeling the mythic magic of classic storytellers like Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer and the psychological acuity of modern-day masters like Nicole Krauss and Nathan Englander, They Were Like Family to Me is a testament to the persistence of humanity in the most inhuman conditions.
Now in Paperback!
Available October 4.
“One of the most original and consistently captivating short story collections to have appeared in recent years…(They Were Like Family to Me) is a singularly inventive collection of chilling stark realism enhanced by the hallucinatory ingredient of top-drawer magical realism, interrogating the value of art, storytelling, and dreams in a time of peril and presenting hard truths with wisdom, magic, and grace.” —Jewish Book Council
“Moving and unsettling…Like Joyce's Dubliners, this book circles the same streets and encounters the same people as it depicts the horrors of Germany's invasion of Poland through the microcosm of one village…Shankman's prose is inventive and taut… A deeply humane demonstration of wringing art from catastrophe.” —Kirkus Reviews
“...by turns forthright and tender, oblique and intimate, brutal and ethereal…Though each story stands beautifully on its own, it is the completed tapestry of interwoven details that finally reveals the entire picture and provides the full emotional depth of the collected stories…The author’s greatest accomplishment is in leaving the horror to speak for itself, and instead giving voice to the enchantment.” —Historical Novel SocietyThey Were Like Family to Me

I have listed healthy eating habits in order of the most importance. But also note that some of the tips are interrelated so please select at least 3 and combine them. Ex:
- Eat five times per day
- Eat little
- Drink water
I think this is the basic you should start from, and slowly, or as soon as you are comfortable and confident with integrating 3 healthy eating habits into your lifestyle make a choice of another tip and also apply it, and so one, until you realize that your healthy eating habits have come to life already.
Here’s an eating schedule you can adopt:
- Breakfast: 7:00-9:00 a.m.
- A light snack: 10:00-12:00 p.m.
- Lunch: 1:00-4:00 p.m. –
- Another snack: 4:00-7:00 p.m.
- Eat a small dinner with a treat: 7:00-10:00 p.m.
Of course, the time you choose will depend on your lifestyle. I’m an evening person so my breakfast will start quite late.
In general, the role of the tomb is 4-5 meals, based on low-calorie products. Regular meals are also outstanding.
Starvation or intake of 1-2 large meals causes deregulation of metabolism in the body. Do not snack to satisfy hunger.
If the intervals between meals are too long, you should have low-calorie, healthy snacks such as apple, plain yogurt or drink water. Snacking between meals is additional, unnecessary calories.
It is recommended to have your last meal no later than 11 pm or 3h before going to bed as the food you will intake at night will not have a chance to be burned off completely and can cause morning gas and stomach cramps.
Eating late at night also forces your body to use its energy on digestion.
Instead of regenerating your energy for the next day your body will work hard to digest your food. Therefore you may experience tiredness and feel less energetic and fresh when you wake up.
Table of Contents
- Eat little but often (on average every 3h)
- Small sweet treat ones a week
- Combine food rich in protein and carbohydrate
- Combine healthy snacks into your diet
- Precise biting and chewing
- Limit consumption of products with the low glycemic index
- No overeating if you are feeling depressed
- Limit alcohol intake and cigarettes
Eat little but often (on average every 3h)
In this case, you will be providing just enough energy for your body’s functioning, and what is more important, you will get hungry less often because your stomach will always be filled up.
Small sweet treat ones a week
I put it third position because I believe that you deserve a tasty treat of anything you like the sweet bar, chips (at last one a month I have to eat chips, I love it). But also remember not to exceed it. As mention in the above point – eat little.
Combine food rich in protein and carbohydrate
Directly because carbohydrate provides an instant rise of energy and protein to maintain the strength for longer so you will not feel hungry as often. Water brings many benefits to the body, provided it is appropriate quality and purity.
Water is a drink deprived of calories. Therefore, low-calorie diets recommend that the amount of liquid consumed is no greater than 1.5 liters and you should not overdo it with mineral water.
If you drink bottled water, it should be carbonated mineral water, and not soft drinks because they stimulate the appetite.
The addition of lemon with the skin carries a natural vitamin C, routine, trace elements, and plant hormones. When drinking you should remember to drink water before meals or 2 hours after a meal.
I generally, drink around eight glasses of water per day as we are losing the same amount in daily activities.
Tip: If you are doing exercises put Celtic salt into 1 liter of water to avoid dehydration.
Combine healthy snacks into your diet
Here are the options for healthy snack examples.
Limit usage of the four times white deaths
- Sugar – It’s devoid of biological additives – vitamins, minerals, plant hormones, and ferments. Sugar obtained from red beets is purified, filtered and crystallized. It can cause diabetes if the intake is relatively higher than (then) recommended.
- Salt – The limitation of salt intake decrease the risk of hypertension. Sodium increases blood pressure.
- Flour – White flour is a refined product, and therefore is devoid of vitamins and minerals the same as sugar. Flour is a significant source of – calories (sugar) and also has a high glycemic index.
- Milk – is difficult to digest, which may result in the disorder of the digestive system functioning. Milk contains animal fats that increase cholesterol level and the leaking of calcium from your body.
Find more in this article where I explain why these four products are called white death.
Precise biting and chewing
The first stage of the food digestion is carried out in your mouth. Correct biting and chewing and mixing with saliva enables further accurate and rapid metabolism of the consumed food in your stomach. Hence the food that gets into the stomach is removed quickly.
Limit consumption of products with the low glycemic index
High levels of insulin promote weight gain. The high level of sugar is associated with the use of the particular group of carbohydrates which characterized in a sharp and significant temporary increase of the glucose levels in blood serum.
Those groups are called the high glycemic index (greater than or equal to 70). By contrast, consumption of a product with a low glycemic index cause a slow and relatively small increase in sugar level and thus – a slight pang of insulin.
Such products are therefore not an ally of weight gain. Keep in mind that food processing (heat treatment, heat treatment time) increases their glycemic index.
No overeating if you are feeling depressed
Seasonal mood disorder or so-called winter disorder is caused mainly by a lack of light during autumn and wintertime. Seasonal depression can last from a few weeks to months.
The symptoms are usually mild and moderate, such as excessive sleepiness (with a significant deterioration in the quality of sleep), tiredness, lack of energy, a high appetite for carbohydrates.
Also, seasonal weather disorder is one of the most common reasons why we often gain weight. I would also put stress next to it. But we hardly ever acknowledge it.
If you acknowledge the reason for your increased appetite, it will be much easier to control it.
Note: Take a bike ride with a good scooter helmet to lose weight.
Limit alcohol intake and cigarettes
Avoid smoking cigarettes and cigarette smoke inhalation and drinking too much alcohol. Smoking cigarettes, both active and passive destroys vitamin C.
The smoke from one cigarette destroys approximately 25 mg of vitamin C in the body. Smoking is also one of the most significant allies of cancer.
Alcohol is a rich source of energy. However, it does not contain essential nutrients. Alcohol also raises blood pressure.
Frequent consumption of even moderate amounts of alcohol may lead to addiction. People who drink more are more likely to develop liver cirrhosis, myocardial degeneration, cancer, and other diseases.
If you want to drink alcohol, you can drink wine (especially red wine from the wild rose which is recommended) and possibly small amounts of beer.

A methodology that may be applied to help in the choice of a continuous reactor is proposed. In this methodology, the chemistry is first described through the use of eight simple criteria (rate, thermicity, deactivation, solubility, conversion, selectivity, viscosity, and catalyst). Then, each reactor type is also analyzed from their capability to answer each of these criteria. A final score is presented using “spider diagrams.” Lower surfaces indicate the best reactor choice. The methodology is exemplified with a model substrate nitrobenzene and a target pharmaceutical intermediate, N-methyl-4-nitrobenzenemethanesulphonamide, and for three different continuous reactors, i.e., stirred tank, fixed bed, and an advanced microstructured reactor. Comparison with the traditional batch reactor is also provided.

While traveling, people feel nauseated and dizzy and may break into a cold sweat and start hyperventilating.
Doctors base the diagnosis on symptoms and the situations in which they occur.
Ways to help prevent motion sickness include keeping the gaze and head as still as possible, getting some fresh air, not reading, not smoking or drinking alcoholic beverages before traveling, and sometimes taking a drug by mouth or skin patch.
Eating soda crackers or sipping ginger ale may help relieve the nausea, but once vomiting has started, a drug such as ondansetron or granisetron may be needed.
Motion sickness occurs when the parts of the inner ear that help control balance (including the semicircular canals) are stimulated too much, as can occur when motion is excessive. It can also occur when the brain receives contradictory information from its motion sensors—the eyes, the semicircular canals, and the muscle sensors (nerve endings in muscles and joints that provide information about body position). For example, motion sickness commonly occurs during boat travel, when the boat rolls and rocks while the person looks at something that does not move, such as a wall. In this case, the rolling and rocking do not match the lack of movement in the wall.
The brain can also receive contradictory information if a person sees something moving excessively despite the person being still. This type of contradictory information may be received when, for example, a person watches a movie taken with a camera that shakes or plays a video game. Motion sickness may also occur in a moving car or other vehicle or on playground or amusement park rides. Space travelers can also be affected.
Some people are more susceptible to motion sickness than others. Motion sickness is more common among women and children between 2 and 12 years of age, as well as in people who are susceptible to migraines, who have labyrinthitis Purulent Labyrinthitis Purulent (suppurative) labyrinthitis is a bacterial infection of the inner ear that often causes deafness and loss of balance. The labyrinth is the bony cavity that contains the inner ear. The... read more (a disorder affecting the inner ear), or who are pregnant or use hormonal contraceptives. Fear, anxiety, and poor ventilation increase the likelihood of experiencing motion sickness. Genetic factors may also increase susceptibility to motion sickness.
Symptoms of Motion Sickness
Symptoms of motion sickness may begin relatively suddenly. Typical symptoms are nausea Nausea and Vomiting in Adults Nausea is an unpleasant feeling of needing to vomit. People also may feel dizziness, vague discomfort in the abdomen, and an unwillingness to eat. Vomiting is a forceful contraction of the stomach... read more , vomiting Nausea and Vomiting in Adults Nausea is an unpleasant feeling of needing to vomit. People also may feel dizziness, vague discomfort in the abdomen, and an unwillingness to eat. Vomiting is a forceful contraction of the stomach... read more , and a vague feeling of abdominal discomfort. Also, the face may become pale, and the person may break into a cold sweat. Dizziness, headache, and fatigue may develop, and the person may feel sleepy or be unable to concentrate. Other symptoms (often as a prelude to vomiting) may include increased saliva production, swallowing excessive air (aerophagia), and abnormally rapid, deep breathing (hyperventilation). Hyperventilation may cause faintness.
Nausea and vomiting make the person feel weak. Prolonged vomiting can lead to low blood pressure and dehydration. However, symptoms tend to gradually subside when the motion stops or the person leaves the vehicle. Also, people who are on long trips, as on a ship, usually adapt to the motion (helped by the stabilizers used in modern ships to minimize motion) and gradually recover.
Diagnosis of Motion Sickness
A doctor's evaluation
Motion sickness is diagnosed based on a description of the symptoms and the circumstances in which they occur.
Prevention and Treatment of Motion Sickness
Nondrug prevention and treatment measures
Preventive drugs (such as scopolamine and antihistamines)
Anti-vomiting drugs (such as ondansetron or granisetron)
Measures to reduce the person's perception of motion include the following:
Keeping the eyes fixed on a distant object (for example, watching the horizon while on a boat)
Choosing a seat where motion is felt least (such as the front seat of a car, a seat over the wings in an airplane, or the forward/middle cabin or upper deck of a ship)
Keeping the head and body as still as possible
Sitting face forward and in a reclining position
Measures to reduce the person's susceptibility to motion sickness include the following:
Getting fresh air by opening a window, opening an air vent, or going to a ship’s top deck
Not drinking alcoholic beverages (because it can aggravate nausea)
Eating small amounts of low-fat, bland, starchy foods and not eating strong-smelling or strong-tasting foods
Avoiding food and drink on short airplane trips, especially on small airplanes
Possibly, not smoking
Before traveling, people who are susceptible to motion sickness can ask their doctor to recommend an over-the-counter drug or prescribe a drug to help prevent the disorder. People should take these drugs before motion sickness starts because they tend to be less effective after symptoms begin. Drugs include scopolamine (as a patch or as tablets), cyclizine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, meclizine, and promethazine (sometimes combined with caffeine). All of these drugs can cause drowsiness. Because they may cause agitation in infants and very young children, these drugs should not be given to them except under a doctor’s supervision. People doing activities that require alertness or concentration (including driving) should not take these drugs. These drugs also should not be taken with alcohol, sleep aids, sedatives, or other drugs that also cause drowsiness and decrease alertness.
If motion sickness develops, limiting food and drink to bland foods (such as soda crackers) and carbonated beverages (such as ginger ale) may help keep symptoms from worsening. If vomiting develops, an anti-vomiting drug, such as ondansetron or granisetron, can be given, sometimes by injection or as a skin patch.
Adaptation can be a particularly useful strategy for treating motion sickness. The more often a person is exposed to the stimulus that causes motion sickness, the less likely the stimulus is to cause a response. However, the reaction is specific to the stimulus, so a person who becomes accustomed to the motion of a large ship may still experience motion sickness in a small boat.
Some people try alternative therapies, such as wearing wristbands that apply acupressure or electrical stimulation or taking ginger Ginger Ginger is a flowering plant with a root (rhizome) that has long been used in cooking and in medicine and is thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Antioxidants protect cells... read more , to prevent or treat motion sickness. These therapies are unproven, but some people find them helpful.

Western Debates About Chinese Entrepreneurship in the Treaty Port Period, 1842–1911This paper assesses how Westerners depicted Chinese entrepreneurship in the late Qing period. The paper, which is based on a range of primary sources in English, Portuguese, and French, shows that Western views of Chinese entrepreneurs were highly diverse and that while some contemporary authors viewed Chinese entrepreneurship through an Orientalist lens, others rejected this paradigm by stressing that Chinese people, or at least some subsets of the Han Chinese population, were extremely entrepreneurial. Another group of authors modified the Orientalist stereotype of Chinese stagnation by suggesting that Chinese businesspeople were capable of the lower entrepreneurial functions (e.g., simple arbitrage) but not the higher branches of entrepreneurship, which involved innovation and creative destruction. These entrepreneurial functions were, ethnocentrically, regarded as the domain of Westerners. The paper may extend our understanding about how the past still affects our current perception of Chinese entrepreneurship. It also develops our understanding of the cultural histories of entrepreneurship and Sino-Western business.

How to use the address bar in a browser? At the top of every browser page. The “Address Bar” is used to input an exact website address. All websites have exact spelling, all lower case, no spacing, no symbols, and close with a URL such as; DOT-COM.
Inputs that include and close with a URL such as a dot-com, dot-net, dot-biz will go directly to that website. The address bar acts as a search engine for any inputs without a “URL,” such as .com or .net. The internet could not function without the address bar.
A website address has three parts to it, the Protocol, the name, and the URL. “HTTPS://” is the Protocol, “geektomenow” is the name, “DOT-COM” is the URL. Every website in the world has a unique Domain Name. You can forward as many domain names as you want to the same website, but only one is the actual website address. “The primary domain name” is the website; You can forward an unlimited amount of domain names to a single website IP address.
So many things I do as a professional computer tech are second nature to me. Using the address bar is one of those things that’s second nature to me because it’s impossible to get a virus going directly to a website. It’s so second nature to me, yet challenging to explain to customers how important it is for safety.
When anybody searches online, the results page can be dangerous because you can get a virus if you click on the wrong thing. In 2021 it’s much safer searching the internet than in the past. But there are still some bad websites out there, so you want to be cautious. I use the address bar because many websites domain name is the same as the business name. Some examples are amazon.com, walmart.com, ebay.com, dollargeneral.com, ronthegeek.com. Name and URL are all you need to type into the “address bar” to go directly to a website. There is no need to input “WWW.” or “HTTPS://” because that is done automatically in any browser.
The biggest reason I use the address bar is I don’t get distracted. I struggle with distractions while I’m working because I’m always on a computer. When I Google something, sometimes I get distracted by other things, but that can’t happen when I use the address bar.
The purpose of the address bar is to go straight to a website that eliminates the possibility of being distracted and getting a computer virus. When you use the address bar saves time, and it’s a great tool to help you stay focused.

The United States has “a lot at stake” in South Sudan and if the new African country disintegrates and unravels, many people around the world will hold Washington responsible, a political commentator in Detroit says.
The US Treasury Department on Tuesday imposed sanctions on two people on opposing sides of the ethnic violence in South Sudan, indicating to the growing frustration in Washington with leaders in an African country it helped create.
Violence erupted in South Sudan in December 2013, following fighting between troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and defectors led by his sacked deputy, Riek Machar.
The conflict soon turned into an all-out war between the army and the defectors, with the violence taking on an ethnic dimension that pitted the president’s Dinka tribe against Machar’s Nuer ethnic group. Thousands of people have so far been killed and more than one million displaced in the war.
“I think the United States has a lot of stake vis-Ã -vis its relationship with Africa in regard to how the situation in South Sudan turns out,” said Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire.
“If the entire South Sudan society and political system disintegrates, this will represent a tremendous failure of United States foreign policy in Africa. So this is the reason why they are threatening the government of President Salva Kiir,” Azikiwe told Press TV on Tuesday.
“Many people within the international community will be looking at the United States and holding them responsible for this fighting as well as the disintegration of the South Sudanese society,” he added.
Mass killings in South Sudan, which appear to be ethnically motivated, have sparked international condemnation. UN sources say despite a January ceasefire, government and opposition forces are still engaged in heavy fighting in several areas including Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states.

In this tutorial we will look at how to light a scene in Blender using Poliigon HDRs.
We will also explore the advantages of using a low resolution EXR to light the scene whilst using a high resolution JPG to provide the camera backdrop.
Within the world settings node editor add in a new environment texture node and load in the .exr file from the HDR. (For performance and memory usage reasons we suggest a 4K or below resolution.)
Connect a Texture Co-ordinate and mapping node to the environment texture so you can rotate it to the desired angel using the 'z rotation' value.
To use a high resolution backplate .jpg, bring in another Background shader node, with a new environment texture connected to it. This should also have it's own mapping node. In this texture node, load in the high resolution .jpg of the same HDR download. (We'd recommend 8 to 16K for this for a nice high resolution backdrop.)
Add in a Mix Shader and a Light Path node. Feed the original .exr into the first input of the mix shader and the .jpg backdrop into the second.
Connect the 'is Camera Ray' output of the Light Path node into the mix amount of the mix shader. This will mean that the camera will use the high resolution .jpg but all other rendering passes will use the lower resolution .exr.

Long Term Significant Economic Disruption Ahead
In a recent column here titled “The Next 20 Years: 2017-2037” I wrote:
“There will be more change in the next 20 years than any 20-50 year period in history. In fact, future historians may well look back on this time as a historical transit as significant as the beginning of the Industrial Revolution or the Renaissance.
It is hard to imagine any area of life that will not be changed. This means that it will be disconcerting, disorienting, disruptive and that “reality” as we know it today will end. This of course means that a significant percentage of humanity will have great psychological upset as we all like, or at least accept, our version of reality.”
Whenever there is a lot of disruption, or to use a more traditional phrase, creative destruction, there will be a lot of economic uncertainty and pain. The old order crumbles and the new order emerges. Holding on to the past becomes costly and even dangerous. In this column, I want to suggest that along with all this change, and with baggage from the Great Recession, there is significant economic disruptions ahead.
First, a few caveats. I am not an economist. I do not deal with economic theory when looking at the future as it is just that, theory. Second, I am not a financial advisor, as I do not give people advice on their investments. Third, I am not an expert on market timing. So, please do not ask me for investment advice. I am a futurist and so I look at what was, what is, to best forecast what will be.
Here are some things I see that have great likelihood of happening in the next few years;
-I think the stock market is in for a significant correction. It will be triggered by several things, some of which are below. I was dumbfounded that the Snap Chat IPO was so strong out of the gate. It’s day of reckoning has started with its “earnings” report. I think this IPO and the emerging difficulties of the “unicorns” such as Uber, will severely dampen the blind fever around tech stocks. The current market is fueled on speculation, the lack of alternative investments and is very sensitive to external events, more so than earnings.
-I think that the Euro Zone is shaky at best and beginning its demise at worst. I have been consistent on this since 2011. The Great Recession may well be looked back upon as the beginning of the end of the Euro Zone. A massive amount of debt was run up, there is no real growth, interest rates have been negative at times and unemployment and certainly youth unemployment are in double digits in many European countries. 20th century thinking that has not evolved in this century
-China may well be headed for some unpleasant economic times. There seems to be a looming debt crisis, the government is ham handed in some of its efforts, there is an opacity that hides any true weakness and growth has slowed dramatically. One must remember that there are 1.4 billion people in China and that 1 billion of them live in relative poverty and have yet to participate in the economic miracle which created 300+ billion new additions to the global middle class. That may soon cause social unrest. Lastly the wealthy are moving vast amounts of money out of the country creating huge currency outflows.
-Russia is only now emerging from two years of significant GDP contraction as they are selling oil for less than cost. In addition, it is the largest country in the world geographically with a shrinking population. The dictatorship has not created a dynamic market economy so there is no real growth. Many more people walking through the exit door than the entrance door.
-the above two points on China and Russia is exactly why they are both being bellicose and nationalistic on the global stage. When there is nothing to praise internally with the economy, national leaders, and specifically autocrats do some external saber rattling. This will continue. This only increases tension and makes markets jittery.
-the federal government in Washington D.C. has been in gridlock for almost two decades. This means that necessary efforts, bills and goals so essential at this time in our country’s history are not being intelligently dealt with. Now layer over that the emerging crisis Trump is creating with the country and his own party and you don’t have any kind of certainty that markets and investors like. Ultimately the partisanship that exists will create ever more problems for this country for the next few years. There are 20,000+ bridges approaching collapse and what is Washington D.C. focusing on?
-In the same column quoted above, I spoke about the coming transformation of the auto industry to electric cars and autonomous automobiles. This will cause old players to fade away and new ones to emerge. The gearheads of Detroit are ceding ground to the techies of Silicon Valley. So, what are the existing car companies doing? They are committing fraud and have a record number of recalls. How can you trust a company such as Volkswagen who overtly committed fraud in multiple countries, apparently colluding with suppliers. In addition, multiple car companies knowing sold new cars with deadly faulty airbags. When your industry faces its largest existential crisis it is plain stupid to commit fraud. No wonder why Tesla is valued more than many much larger companies. Invest is what is being born, rather than what is dying or committing suicide.
-The biggest economic transition in the next 10 years will be the global movement away from fossil fuels to alternative and renewable energy sources. Fossil fuels are now a no growth industry. I have forecast for years that the collapse of the price of oil will cause economic upheaval which leads to the collapse of nation state economies. Take a look at Venezuela and Nigeria for the first examples of this phenomenon.
-Lastly, there will be hundreds of billions – if not trillions- of lost property values due to Sea Level Rise and Climate Change globally between now and 2030-35. Florida has some 5,000 miles of shoreline and much of it will be worth much less in the future that today. Real estate will be “under water” before it is under water.
Oh, one more thing, the national debt of the United States may be $20 trillion, but the debt and all the unsecured liabilities of the country now add up to almost $100 trillion if you include Unfunded Social Security, Unfunded Medicare, Pension and retiree benefits and publicly held debt. I used to be on the board of the Institute of Truth in Accounting and they have some of the best information or how debt-riddled the federal government and states are. A visit to this web site will make you wonder what politicians in Washington and every statehouse are doing. Ostriches all. $100 trillion is more than the global aggregate GDP. Any good ideas on how to retire it?
This list could go on. The single thing to keep in mind is that the reality you have assumed would continue will not. So don’t invest thinking it will.

Zinc Deficiency and Low Growth Hormone
For children who have low growth hormone, it’s a good idea to check zinc levels to see if nutrient absorption is a factor.
Just because you are gluten free doesn’t mean you are absorbing nutrients. Many doctors miss this part of the equation.
“Just go gluten free” is the prescription for celiac disease and gluten intolerance–often without much assessment of absorption of nutrients and gut function.
A child with celiac or gluten intolerance who is not a great eater might easily be deficient in nutrients important for growth. My kids were both low in growth hormone and had growth issues, until we discovered that they were both low in zinc and we began supplementation which resulted in increased growth rates (and increased appetite–as low zinc can also contribute to picky eating.)
In my experience, mainstream doctors and even our endocrinologist, who I think is amazing, never checked zinc levels until I requested them to check the levels. According to an article in The Journal of Pediatrics “Mild to moderate zinc deficiency in short children” reports that “zinc supplementation is effective for inducing growth in short children with zinc deficiency.” (1) Because low zinc levels can contribute to low growth rates, checking the zinc level should be done as a first priority whenever growth in a child is a concern.
Checking nutrient levels is also beneficial because other systems like the reproductive system can also be affected by low nutrient absorption. If zinc deficiency or nutrient absorption is an issue, a good nutritionist or alternative doctor can help put growth on the right track.
After zinc levels have been assessed, then supplementation might be necessary to improve zinc levels and see if growth picks up. My son takes this Kirkman zinc product
that is hypoallergenic and contains 15 mg zinc. This Klaire Labs multimineral product
which contains 20 mg. of zinc was recommended for my daughter by our nutritionist.
I always recommend finding a good nutritionist/alternative doctor who will recommend and interpret blood work and oversee supplementation when necessary. An alternative doctor or good nutritionist is usually trained to look at and assess nutrient absorption and recommend dietary intervention and supplements –but parents can also inform themselves and ask for basic nutrient testing from mainstream doctors if they don’t have access to an alternative doctor. Then, depending on results, they can decide whether nutrient absorption is a factor and find a nutritionist to help after testing has been done.
ASK THE NUTRITIONIST…
I asked Geri Brewster
, a registered dietician and experienced nutritionist, about the relationship between zinc, nutrient deficiencies and growth and she added…
“Celiac and gluten sensitivity can lead to malabsorption of a number of nutrients but minerals, which tend to compete for absorption, are particularly vulnerable. While correcting for celiac or gluten sensitivity by eliminating gluten, that alone does not correct for nutrient deficiencies or insufficiencies as gut healing is a slow process and in a growing child demand for nutrients remains great. Thus, zinc deficiency can occur and it is associated with short stature, among other negative effects.”
“However, a growth hormone deficiency can still be occurring as a second issue and may need to be replaced. When growth hormone replacement is called for, then the building blocks for growth need to be present. Those include enough protein, fats and adequate nutrient dense carbohydrates as well as vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Dietary sources of zinc include meats and shellfish as well as beans, nuts and seeds. When absorption is an issue, supplementation may be necessary while also measuring blood levels. If zinc deficiency or insufficiency is found it is probable that other nutrients may be low as well and working toward dietary and supplemental support to optimize growth is essential, even in the presence of growth hormone therapy.”

BLOOD TESTS TO CHECK NUTRIENT ABSORPTION…
These are the blood tests that our alternative doctor has done with my kids to check absorption levels. By checking these basic levels before going gluten free and yearly (or when blood work is being done), you can get an indication of whether nutrient absoption is an issue.

Dust mites are microscopic organisms that live on human skin scales, which we shed off regularly. They are commonly found on pillows, mattresses, upholstered furniture and in clothes changing areas. This organism is responsible for most of the year-round type allergic rhinitis.
Quantities of household dust vary enormously depending on where the house is located, the climate, altitude, the time of year, etc. They also vary from house to house (a farm is different from a city flat), and within the same house (a bathroom is not a bedroom).
There is however one thing that never varies: household dust is a complex reservoir of allergens. The main allergen is the house-dust mite.
Mites, or acarids, are tiny, spider-like creatures only about 0.3 millimetres long. They are therefore invisible to the naked eye. Two species which live in household dust are very important in respiratory allergies: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae to give them their Latin names.
Dermatophagoides mites feed on human scales or flakes which shed from the skin. They are found mainly in bedding (pillows, mattresses, eiderdowns, etc.) because this is where we lose the most scales (our skin rubs against the sheets). Feeding on shed skin is not enough for these mites. They also feed on a microscopic fungus (mould) which grows mainly on mattresses.
To complete this delightful picture, it may be interesting to know that people with mite allergy are not allergic to the mites themselves, but to their…droppings. Mite excreta seem to be highly allergenic.
Mites are much more numerous in bedding than on the bedroom floor. One gram of dust taken from a mattress could contain anywhere from 2,000-15,000 of them!
When you sleep on a mattress, the temperature (between 20°-30° C) and relative humidity (dampness) created by your body provide ideal conditions for these unsavoury little creatures to reproduce, as well as ideal growing conditions for the mould on which they feed.
Tip: A fundamental rule
- Air out your bed every single day; do not immediately make the bed as soon as you get up.
- Even if your bedroom is cool and dry (which would be ideal because too much heat dries out mucous membranes, encouraging rhinitis and asthma), you should nevertheless thoroughly air out the sheets at least twice a week.
- Blankets should be made either of cotton or synthetic fabrics that can be washed in hot water (55°C or above). Pillows should be filled with synthetic material, not feathers, and mattresses should be covered with plastic or allergen-excluding material. If the mattress has not been covered, it should be thoroughly vacuumed at least once a week.
- Every night while we are asleep, the temperature of our body and our breathing give mites just the right conditions they need to grow and breed. So change the sheets as frequently as possible.
- Other rooms in the house should be given equal attention, although not so often. Pay particular attention to floors, armchairs, cushions, curtains and drapes.
Allergy to household dust (especially to mites) can come out as asthma, rhinitis and/or atopic dermatitis (eczema). Flare-ups usually happen just after the sufferer wakes up. Symptoms last all year long but tend to be worse in autumn and winter, when it is wetter.
Above 1500-1800 metres altitude, both types of allergy-causing mites are virtually non-existent. They simply do not like dry mountain climates! Which makes them ideal places for mite-allergy sufferers to live or holiday.
Eviction (getting rid of the allergen) is the best way of reducing or eliminating an allergy to mites. First see to the bedroom, then go to work on the rest of the house.
Making a bedroom or a house “dust-free” means identifying and eliminating any materials where Dermato-phagoides mites could hide and grow.
- Replace bedding materials (mattresses, pillows, eider-downs, bolsters) containing wool, kapok, cotton, horse hair, feathers, or down with synthetic materials (foam rubber, polyester, dacron, etc.).
- Buy blankets and curtains made of synthetic fabrics.
- Remove all down, wincyette, and flannel.
- Remove thick throw rugs and animal skins.
- Replace fitted (wall-to-wall) carpets and rugs with vinyl or parquet flooring; the room will also be easier to clean.
- Get rid of cushions not filled with synthetic materials, as well as anything made of wool or cotton.
- Reduce the number of “dust collectors” such as intricate or bulky decorations: heavy drapes, double curtains, tapestries, etc.
- Use the vacuum cleaner more often around the house; in particular, vacuum mattresses and bedding thoroughly and regularly (preferably when the allergy sufferer is not there!).
- Get rid of green (non-flowering) house plants
- Keep teddy bears and woollen toys out of children’s bedrooms.
Vacuum cleaners are now available which, when used with special accessories, are very effective for cleaning mattresses. The best ones have a filter which prevents exhaust air from blowing dust into the room.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary costs!
Hypo-allergenic materials which are impenetrable to house-dust mites are useful for covering
mattresses, duvets or pillows, but they can be expensive. Obviously, they will only help persons allergic to mites, not with other allergies!
Mildew is a kind of filamentatious fungus. Their colouring varies from species to species: green or black for Penicillium and Aspergillus, red for Merulius or house fungus. They can be found outside (on rotting vegetation or in the air) as well as indoors.
When they grow, filamentatious fungi produce “spores” (like a seed) as part of their reproduction process. Like pollen, spores are culprits in respiratory allergies (rhinitis and allergic asthma). Also just like pollen, the atmospheric spore count depends on weather conditions (maximum at times of year when it is hot and humid).
Tip: How to avoid mildew
Around the house:
- Frequently air out places where mildew tends to grow.
- Ventilate closed spaces (bathroom, kitchen, laundry, cellars, attics).
- Solve problems of dampness (seeping water, rising damp, etc.).
- Clean and disinfect air conditioning con-duits.
- Do not leave mouldy food lying about.
- Watch out for flower pots where the soil is covered with a whitish or orange sub-stance; this could be mildew.
- Carefully inspect wallpaper; mildew often grows behind it.
Outside the house:
- Don’t walk in wooded areas after it rains or in foggy weather.
- Don’t touch bags of dead leaves which were collected several days earlier.
- Second homes or houses people seldom live in are often rich in mildew.

The Internet of Bodies is here. Humans are increasingly collecting our physical data via connected devices that are implanted, swallowed or worn. The result is an unfathomable amount of data tracking our heart rates, blood pressures, sleeping patterns and more.
These insights could be invaluable to healthcare – but only once devices stop hiding data in information silos. Currently, most devices collect data but seldom share it, impeding any real medical application. Data usability is key to realizing the potential health benefits of these devices. Let’s explore.
The post-pandemic emergence of medical devices
It’s worth taking a step back and recognizing the rapid rise of medical devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, wearables became a tool for tracking, monitoring and even combating the spread of the disease throughout the world. Increasingly health-conscious consumers quickly took to devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers. In 2021, more than 300 million wearables shipped worldwide. This year, the wearables market will reach about 350 million shipments globally, logging a compound annual growth rate of 13%.
People are turning to these devices for personal medical insight. The latest smartwatches enable unparalleled insight into medical metrics like blood oxygen and physical activity. Likewise, connected medical devices deliver remote convenience that is invaluable during a pandemic. For example, hearing aid manufacturer WIDEX can now calibrate their products from anywhere in the world. Previously, clients needed to travel to hearing care professionals to calibrate the device, despite the job taking just a few minutes. Today, the company uses a remote-control solution for fitting hearing aids over the internet, much to the delight of the company’s older, less mobile clientele.
The problem with data silos
We’re in the midst of a medical data gold rush. The problem, however, is that the vast majority of this device information is currently unusable. Why? Because private device vendors largely restrict outside access to this treasure trove of user information, meaning it cannot be organized and coordinated for wider medical applications. To make matters worse, there’s no unified data standard across the industry to make medical information interoperable.
Private companies tend to view wearable data as private information. Of course, companies have a duty of care when it comes to sensitive user data, but the current approach impedes medical researchers and practitioners from adequately implementing this rich information into their work.
The cost opportunity is massive. If leveraged correctly, wearables could grant clinicians a more comprehensive, longitudinal view of patient health. For example, it’s possible to detect potential illnesses or diseases, such as sleep apnea, cardiac disease or mental illness, with correctly accessible device data. For the moment, however, the problem of wearable data silos is only predicted to worsen.
IDC projects the total universe of healthcare data to grow approximately 400% between 2020 and 2025. With this growing data comes the potential for better predictive diagnoses, individualized therapies and new efficiencies that can increase access to care while controlling costs. Again, achieving this demands that the data is actionable.
Three ways to make wearable data actionable
The good news is that data silos are avoidable. Better yet, there are a variety of potential solutions to this innovation-prohibiting problem.
First, device creators should agree on industry standards to safely share data. This approach would see wearable companies work together to adopt common standards and create new protocols. This will take time and coordination, but it’s possible. In the 1990s, five of the world’s biggest telecom providers established an interest group for a new communications protocol, Bluetooth. Today, the standard functions across nearly all laptops and tablets. To integrate digital measurement technologies at scale in clinical research, pharma and technology communities must unite to drive the adoption of shared standards suitable for clinical research.
Second, medical researchers can construct data lakes to extract actionable outcomes from large information sets. This approach is one way to get around the issue of inconsistent data standards in the industry. Currently, ingesting such data from multiple sources and converting it to a consistent format (to be analyzed or used for machine learning training and inferencing) is very challenging. However, researchers should look to employ data lake patterns to store raw information and then build layers to modify the data to a format for use across different systems.
Third, in the case of specific clinical research trials and internal hospital operations, IoT ecosystems work to share information across a unified network. This method creates a single platform to connect the dots and achieve unified device connectivity. This way, the platform operators have direct access to data and make decisions accordingly, all the way from monitoring patient vitals to managing hospital inventory.
In all, connected devices present a unique chance to translate individual insights into collective knowledge. Achieving this, however, requires vendors to come to the table and break down the data silos they have helped to create. It won’t be easy – but the opportunity is too great to miss. Unlocking this data could be instrumental to providing value-based care, reducing costs, lowering errors and improving outcomes. Watch this space.

Shinya Matsuoka, 4 years old, lived with his parents, an older sister, and a younger brother in Ibaraki prefecture. When his maternal grandmother unexpectedly passed away on the 5th of March 1989, the whole family went to Tokushima to attend her funeral which took place the next day. Afterward, the family drove one hour away to a relative of the mum and stayed there for the night.
The Disappearance Of Shinya
On the morning of the 7th of March, at around 8 AM, the father, Shinya, and the youngest sibling, 2 years old at the time, went for a walk. When Shinya didn’t want to go home after about 10 minutes as his dad suggested, they decided to drop off Shiny A’s brother and walk another round in the neighborhood, which was in a very small area with few houses.
Leading up to the home they were staying at, there is a flight of stairs, about 10 meters long. Shinya’s dad, carrying the toddler in his arms, walks ahead of Shinya, who slowly but certainly made his way up. The dad saw that Shinya had made it to the very top of the stairs. He steps into the entrance and hands over his younger son to the mother.
A matter that takes a few seconds at most.
The father acknowledges that Shinya hadn’t followed him into the home and steps outside to see where he is. Shinya is nowhere to be seen. The father searches around the estate but isn’t able to discover his son. Very soon, family and relatives begin joining the search effort, after a while, the local fire brigade also begins to look for the 4 years old. Because there was a problem he had gotten lost in the mountains, people started searching there, as well.
The disappearance became a matter of law enforcement just afternoon. The initial team consisting of 15 officers and about 100 riot police officers, firefighters, and citizens saw the addition of officers to a total of 200 by the following day.
For the following 3 months, the search proceeded, but there were no leads that could help discover Shinya.
After the disappearance
The most baffling aspect of this case is the short duration within which Shinya disappeared.
To explain what facts investigators were faced with:
The area where the family was living was very distant and the house was located at the end of the town’s road. This means that few people would go there if they didn’t live in that corner.
People performing fieldwork just 100 meters away from the scene didn’t notice any strange cars. And there were no clues of traffic accidents in the area.
No one outside the neighborhood realized that the family was staying at the relative’s home.
Even though Shinya was extremely mature for his age and had no problems saying his parents’ phone number, home address, and names, investigators thought the chances of him having become a victim of a crime were low for the reasons mentioned above.
The strange phone call
Instantly after the disappearance of their son, the family set up a recording device on the phone located in the relative’s home.
On the 16th of March, the day before the family had schemed to come back home, the phone rang.
Shinya’s father picks up.
“Is your wife there?” a female voice asks, with a conventional Tokushima accent.
The father hands the phone to his wife.
“I am Mariko Nakahara’s mother. My kid is in group ‘Moon’ of the Seikei kindergarten”
The name of the kindergarten was familiar to her – that’s where Shinya’s older sister went at the time.
The voice continues. “We have put together some cash to assist you. Where should we send it? Are you returning home soon?”
The mother told the individual at the other end of the line they were going to return home the next day.
Sometime later, the mother hadn’t listened to anything about the fund yet but hesitated to inquire about it out of politeness. No phone calls from Mariko’s mother, either.
Days went by and the mother decides to enquire about the cash that was supposedly obtained for her family.
Turns out, there was no student named Mariko Nakahara and no cash was collected for this objective, either.
Thinking about it, the mother felt that it was odd that the call came from someone with a Tokushima accent when they resided in Ibaraki. It made no sense that a guardian of one of the kindergarten students knew the number to the family’s relative’s home, anyway.
But then, how would someone from Tokushima realize the name of her daughter’s kindergarten?
Sadly, no helpful lead came from this unusual incident.
Shinya’s disappearance gathered some scrutiny from the public and his family had made over 50 TV appearances and even made their house telephone number public to get as much data as someone may know as possible.
This is a list assembling all of the supposed sightings of Shinya. (This is a translation by me of the list featured on this website).
May 1989 – A man carrying a boy with an identical appearance to Shinya was noticed by the ocean in Tokushima. When the observer attempted to take a closer look at the boy’s face, the man turned away and got into a white car. The region is known to be a place where North Korean ships come by.
April 1990 – A housewife from Tokushima directly phoned the family’s home phone and said it was obvious she had seen Shinya. His dad met this person to get more details. He handed all of the data to the police and requested to have the sighting analyzed to be of Shinya. When he investigated about it after not hearing from the police, the head of the department said he had been busy because his dad had passed. No leads.
1990 – Hearing that a boy looking identical to Shinya was noticed in front of a mall in Yamagata, his dad went there. And handed out flyers of his missing kid to locals, who verified they had seen the boy at a store on a playground. No further leads.
1991 – The mother was notified that a couple was seen with a kid who, judging by their age difference, wasn’t theirs, at a temple in Shikoku. She went there and looked for them, but couldn’t discover them.
1995 – An elderly man living in Hokkaidou claims he knew someone who told him they had gotten a kid named Shinya as a gift from the main island. No leads.
1997 – A woman on her way home from work allegedly saw Shinya in a subway in Yokohama. He was sitting next to her and she told him she got goosebumps. Because he looked so identical to the missing kid. He seemed to have injuries to his wrists, was barely covered by a bandage, and overall looked not being cared for well. She conversed with him and he told her he was being mistreated by an older man. She gave him her number in case he needs help and just once, he called her. No further leads.
1998 – A cashier at a video rental store in the Chugoku area claims he saw a kid with injured wrists who took a Titanic postcard. Showed it to a man who looked like a yakuza member and who seemed to be keeping him under watch, and bought the card. The employee instantly told the store owner and the two went looking for the boy, but they were already gone.
The Man who claimed to be Shinya
In 2018, a man named Ryuto Wada was shown on TV, and he claimed to be the missing Shinya Matsuoka. I recall this well, as the Japanese corner of the internet was excited. Could this be the end of the mystery and the painful search for Shinya? Could there be eventually closure? Ryuto did look quite identical to Shinya, some said, and people were highly predicting the results of the DNA test. Which would conclusively tell the whole nation whether this was, in fact, the kid who went missing nearly 3 decades ago.

This report is a companion piece to the 2016 report Policies and Practices of Cross-Border Provider Mobility in APEC Economies. It presents findings of the survey responses from 12 APEC economies as well as prior research in cases where responses were not received, or were limited.
The survey focuses on the component of provider mobility under Cross Border Education (CBE), with the objective of understanding how educational policy settings can enable or restrict movement of Higher Education Institutions between economies. It also focuses on the scope of both incoming and outgoing CBE. It examines those features of cross-border higher education mobility that have been least well investigated or documented in the past.
The outcomes from the survey demonstrate the challenges that are present in the collection of data pertaining to cross-border mobility of HEIs and the complexities and inconsistencies in CBE terminology among APEC economies.

Working with volunteer groups can be challenging. Understanding volunteers’ personalities can help you assign them to the right task at the project so they can have the best chance of personal success and compatibility with you and other volunteers. Some volunteers want to lead, some want to socialize, some pay attention to details, and others are compassionate and dependable. You may also encounter volunteers who are headstrong, who aren’t actively involved or complain excessively.
When you are dealing with volunteer groups, you are almost guaranteed to encounter clashing personalities. Just remember - opposite personalities can complement one another if they try to understand the other’s perspective. Treat every individual with dignity and respect.
- Talk openly and professionally with your volunteer to try to mitigate the problem.
- Consult with another staff person or volunteer leader who can troubleshoot with you on ways to resolve the problem.
- Document any incidents immediately and contact a supervisor if you do not feel you can resolve the problem.
- If the project is taking place at a partner organization or school and a client/student of that partner organization is causing the problem, consult with the organization/school contact immediately. The organization/school is responsible for managing the clients/students. You are responsible for managing the volunteers.
It is important to recognize and deal with challenging volunteers. You cannot just ignore the problem and expect it to go away. It will affect other volunteers and their experience, and may influence them negatively. Here are two ways you may deal with challenging volunteers:
- Ask them to play a leadership role in solving the problem. Doing so allows you to determine whether or not the challenging volunteer is willing to step up and help lead everyone towards a solution, or if they just want to complain about the situation. If they want to offer their leadership – great – it may be just what was needed.
- Assign them to a volunteer “partner” to help address their specific issue(s). If they don’t want to help resolve the situation, assigning a volunteer partner to work with them may be the next best strategy for controlling an otherwise negative influence on the project. The one-on-one attention that an assigned volunteer partner (who has been fully briefed by the project leader) can offer the challenging volunteer will likely diffuse their complaints.
In very rare instances, it is necessary to ask a volunteer to leave if their behavior is too disruptive or inappropriate. This should be a last resort and only used when no other strategies are proving effective and the success of the project is threatened.

How are we to live as Christians in the political arena? It’s a question that feels tired at times, but it remains as pressing as ever. Fred van Geest’s Introduction to Political Science: A Christian Perspective is remarkable for its even, fair look at a number of political questions from a broadly Christian viewpoint.
There is no possible way to approach a book like this without bias. Van Geest acknowledges this and notes that Christians ought not to be excluded from using their faith to help determine their answers to political questions; after all, no one can be an unbiased commentator on political questions. The book is organized around four parts: Foundational Values and Ideas for Government; Institutions; Policy; and Foreign Policy and International Relations.
Included among the foundational values and ideas are questions about what a government is to begin with, what it means to be a “Christian” government, and whether such a thing ought to even exist. What makes van Geest’s analysis interesting is that he largely manages to navigate that space between liberal and conservative, showing how ideas and ideals from both groups can be held in unity and even lead to policy change that may be mutually agreed upon. Though it is impossible to truly navigate entirely in that tiny “in between” space, van Geest’s book helps readers to at least understand both sides more than they might have before.
One aspect that makes van Geest’s analysis particularly interesting is his breaking out of the unfortunate tendency to simply analyze U.S. politics from a Christian perspective. Instead, he frequently looks at international perspectives and uses examples of countries outside of North America. Many charts are included showing things like voting turnout (and setting that alongside how different systems of voting may encourage or discourage said turnout), opinions on gun control in the U.S., corporate tax rates in different countries (and why some aspects of taxing corporations may be beneficial or not), and many, many more.
Where van Geest brings in a specifically Christian perspective to politics, it becomes even more interesting. He compares Jimmy Carter’s and George W. Bush’s statements on politics and faith, shows the real challenges of poverty and health care in various countries (including the U.S.), argues that income inequality can lead to very real wrongs, questions some aspects of Just War thought, and challenges readers to look at human rights in a global perspective. Though I didn’t always agree with van Geest, I found him bringing so much information to bear in some of these chapters that I was able to sit back and reflect and even change my view on some things.
The book is an introduction, so it doesn’t delve too deeply into any one topic, but it does give readers all kinds of information for further reading and exploration. Moreover, van Geest does a remarkable job of presenting so many different topics in such a short space. Having read the book, I found I felt more informed, even as someone who was a social studies major in college.
Introduction to Political Science: A Christian Perspective is most notable for the fact that van Geest manages to navigate the difficult terrain of the political minefield without becoming overly polemical. I found it highly enjoyable and challenging in the best ways. I recommend it highly.

The 1099 form is used to report non-employment income that the taxpayer has earned throughout the fiscal year. This means that any income-driven source of income other than the salary or formal employment is called a non-employment income.
There are many different types of 1099 forms because there are many different categories of non-employment income that individuals can drive.
The 1099 form keeps a record of the income earned by the individual, the IRS matches your 1099 with other forms, and if there are any discrepancies found, then the notice is issued to pay tax for the missing amount. It is therefore essential to keep track of your 1099s.
A vendor is a company or person offering any good or service for sale. For tax purposes, any person who works for you renders any service or delivers a product to you is a vendor.
For instance, if you hired an attorney for legal consultation or proceedings, the attorney is your vendor. If you hired a contractor for landscaping, then the contractor is your vendor.
To be a vendor, that person must not be employed by you. They must not receive any salary from you or be on your payroll.
The payments covered by 1099 include the following
- Rent payments
- Non-employee compensation
- Prizes and awards
- Crop insurance proceeds
- Medical and health care payments
- Cash payments for fish
- Payments to attorney
- Other income payments
In simple terms, whenever you make a 1099 payment, you have to report it to the IRS.
There are many different types of 1099 forms based on different sources of income, as discussed above. We are going to list some of the most common 1099s for the sake of clarity.
- 1099 – INT: Sent to banks and brokerage firms or anyone receiving over $10,000 in interest.
- 1099 – DIV: Sent to stockholders earning dividend income.
- 1099 – R: Sent to those who receive pension or distribution from IRAs or retirement funds.
- 1099 – S: Issued for real estate transactions.
- 1099 – MISC: Issued to those whose income does not fall in any category covered by any of the other 1099s.
- 1099 – NEC: In 2020, the government made slight changes and added certain categories to the 1099- NEC category.
For this article, we are concerned with the last two categories of 1099 mentioned above.
You need to report the 1099 – MISC for all the vendors who have rendered any service above $600 during the year. Form 1099 – MISC is to be filed for payments that are for
- Attorney fees
- Health care payments
- Individuals are not considered independent contractors under law.
You need to report the form 1099 – NEC if you received any service from a non-employed contractor/vendor, and the stated value of that service was $600 or above during the year.
You should also file the form 1099 – NEC if you have received any service from a non-employed contractor or vendor, with a value above $600, whom you also reported last year on the 1099 – MISC (Box 7).
You should also file a form 1099 – NEC for any non-employee contractor from whom you have withheld federal income tax under the backup withholding rules of taxation.
According to IRS, the form 1099 – NEC should be used for non-employees identifying as
- Any other non-employee
How to Report 1099
Before commencing work, you should ask to send the form W9 or W8BEN. Alternatively, you can send this form to them after their work is done, before paying them. They should provide the following details on this form.
- Legal name
- Name of business
- Social security number
With these details now, you can report the details of payment to the IRS. Once everything is in order, report the payment made to the vendor and tick the correct box that identifies their service.
You will also need to send form 1096 to the IRS, which lists all of your form 1099s in a series. If you have filed both 1099 – MISC and 1099 – NEC, you will have to attach a separate 1096 with each 1099.
Once done, send out copies of 1099 to the following
- IRS (including 1096 with 1099)
- State tax department if required
- With yourself for your own record keeping.
Any mistakes made on 1099 should be promptly corrected. It is essential to keep track of all of your 1099s, especially those you have to report to the IRS.
This whole exercise aims to keep track of how much is being earned by those who are not informal employment.
Persons earning income from means other than salary still have to pay taxes. Since their employer cannot directly deduct the taxes, the government must ensure that their taxes have been withheld. The whole exercise of form 1099 is done to ensure this process.
If you are unsure whether you should issue 1099 or not or the vendors you have to issue, it would be better to consult a tax professional to avoid any confusion and possible penalty. Tax matters should never be taken lightly.

If you have broken, damaged, or decayed teeth you’re looking to restore, crowns may be your best bet. A crown is a natural-looking cap, often made from either porcelain or ceramic, that can be fixed onto your tooth to give you your smile back. A crown will also allow you to use that part of your mouth without any discomfort. The procedure is relatively simple and generally takes two sessions to complete.
A bridge is a dental restoration fastened to existing teeth to replace missing ones. The false teeth are most often made from porcelain or ceramic and are designed to look as natural as possible. Bridges are an excellent solution for someone with multiple consecutive missing teeth.
Veneers are thin shells fitted over front-facing teeth to improve their appearance. These are an excellent solution for anyone with stained, chipped, misshapen, too-small, or gappy front-facing teeth.

Premature infants are often administered caffeine for long periods. Caffeine’s stimulant effect can promote regular breathing, but the drug can also interact with other drugs given to premature infants. A study led by Sanjeev Gupta, M.D., has found that caffeine worsens the liver toxicity of acetaminophen, which is often given to infants to relieve pain and fever.
In a study published online on May 7 in the journal Toxicology, Dr. Gupta and colleagues including Preeti Viswanathan, M.B.B.S., assessed caffeine’s interaction with acetaminophen on fetal liver cells and liver organoids. The researchers found that acetaminophen’s liver toxicity is greatly increased in the presence of caffeine. They attributed caffeine’s adverse effect to its interference with the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene, which keeps DNA and cell functions in a healthy state. The findings should make physicians aware of possible risks of giving caffeine and acetaminophen together to infants.
Dr. Gupta is professor of medicine and of pathology and the Eleazar and Feige Reicher Chair in Translational Medicine at Einstein. Dr. Viswanathan is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Einstein.

Despite persistent predictions of its fragmentation, the European Union continues to grow. Last Monday, Croatia became its 28th member and another eight countries are in line to accede. And yet the image of a united Europe has been bruised badly by the economic crisis. Despite widespread malaise and the return of national stereotypes and old disputes, there is no plan for Europe’s falling apart. The only solution then is the protection of its achievements and the adoption of new measures and institutions that will strengthen the whole and each of its parts.
The debt crisis that was first registered in Greece in late 2009 turned out to be much greater, affecting the economies, politics and societies of many countries. It revealed also that the EU had neither the ideas nor the mechanisms to deal with difficulties. The general impotence, the mistaken calculations and wrong actions, the focus on national interests rather than those that would benefit the Union as a whole, all contributed to worsening the crisis at all levels. Gradually, decisions were taken with the aim of helping stricken countries and defending the common currency. Daring proposals were aired, such as a banking and fiscal union, such as the mutualization of debt, and so on.
Unfortunately, the fear of sharing debts and misery resulted in many ideas being lost in the persistent fog of ambiguity which allows each country to present EU decisions as it suits it. It is striking that this same lack of specifics worked magic in the markets when Mario Draghi declared that the European Central Bank would “do whatever it takes” to defend the euro. A year later, the political troubles in Greece and Portugal, and the rise of borrowing for Italy and France, among others, suggest it is time for specific measures.
Whether it likes it or not, Germany, through its mighty economy, is Europe’s leading country. Because it does not want to take charge but to lead by example, it must make clear how it sees Europe achieving greater union in the face of today’s troubles. Apart from the triptych of “fiscal discipline, solidarity and growth,” Germany ought to calculate the social cost of ever-harsher austerity in many countries, and the political consequences which strengthen forces that desire Europe’s fragmentation. Perhaps hope lies elsewhere. Next May, the citizens of the EU will elect new members of the European Parliament, who, in turn and for the first time, in July will elect a new president of the European Commission. Europe will thus acquire an institution and an official who will have broad legitimacy and the power to push forward measures to save the Union. We can only hope that capable candidates will step forward.

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” 8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. 11 So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.”
Hebrews 9:22 – In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 11:4 – By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
2Corinthians 8:5 – And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.
2 Corinthians 9:7 – So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
In our previous study, I made it clear that thanksgiving starts from the heart. And the state of your heart influences your action. It is said that as a man thinks, so is he. Today, we will be exploring thanksgiving that is unacceptable to God. In the above Scripture, Cain and Abel, after their harvest, came to humble themselves before the Lord and express their gratitude to God. At that time, it was a requirement that to approach God and obtain favour from Him, you have to shed the blood of an animal for the remission of your sins. In our case, Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sins and, as a result, we have access to God.
By the shedding of blood, you are telling God that you admit your sins and you seek His forgiveness and acceptance. Abel followed this principle and was accepted and declared righteous, but Cain did what was convenient and not what was required. Therefore, he was rejected. You will note that God accepts or rejects the person before He considers their offering. This is because He first examines their heart and attitude. After Cain and his offering were rejected, he went on to kill his brother and his response to God showed the state of his heart. Cain was for Cain and not for anyone else. He was neither for God nor for his brother. He was for himself alone.
Thanksgiving is a gift we give in recognition of another. It is what we give in appreciation. It is given with the recipient in mind not yourself. Thanksgiving is sacrificial. David said, “I will not give to God what costs me nothing.” So, our thanksgiving must be heartfelt and sacrificial. You know, when we want to give gifts to people, we first find out what they like and what has meaning to them. We do this because the gift is for them and not for us. We are showing them that we value them; we recognise their desire and align with it.
For our thanksgiving to be acceptable, we must first know what brings God pleasure and then present it with the right heart and attitude. In the book of Haggai 1:1-11, the people went about their business and forgot about God and the result was not pleasant. It is interesting to know that as big as God is, people actually forget about Him. I want to encourage you sit down and be thoughtful with your thanksgiving to God. Don’t give thanks grudgingly or out of necessity. Be cheerful for God loves a cheerful giver. In conclusion, avoid the following when giving thanks to God:
? Don’t disregard God’s worth in the scheme of things
? Don’t give without your heart being in it
? Don’t give hastily, put some thought into it
? Don’t give out of necessity or grudgingly, give cheerfully
? Don’t give out of competition with others: give out of love and appreciation
? Don’t forget that you will get a harvest of what you sow, be it good or bad.
For further study:
Haggai 1:1-11, Joel 2:13
Personal Declaration for the day
I will heartily give thanks to God.
Questions for you to reflect on:
With what attitude of heart do you give to God?
When you give, is it about you or about God?

A. Richard tries to convince him to come back
_____ 9. Richard's first published story is called
A. "Big Boy Leaves Home"
_____ 10. When Uncle Tom tries to beat Richard, the boy
A. slits his attacker's throat
11. Is Black Boy more an indictment of Southern racism or an account of a writer's development? Explain.
12. What positive and what negative lessons does Richard learn from his fellow blacks?
11. Certainly the later chapters of the book focus on Richard's experiences with white racists. But even the earlier portions touch on the theme of racism. Uncle Hoskins' death is more than just a shocking example of racist violence. It also changes Richard's life by depriving him of the stable home and economic prosperity that he was beginning to enjoy. The book's conclusion confirms that its subject is racism: Richard flees the South because he can no longer endure its discriminatory practices.
On the other hand, Wright directs much of his criticism against his own family and his fellow blacks. Many of the hardships of his early life stem from his grandmother's strictness. Even before Richard's writing ambitions develop into an explicit theme, he is using words in a rebellious way. You could argue that many of the obstacles he encounters would be set in the way of any sensitive and critical individual who questions society's codes. In addition, you could say that the ending of Black Boy confirms that Wright's development into a writer is the book's central theme. After all, he does not leave the South until he decides upon his career.
12. Wright is often critical of his fellow blacks. He learns from them how not to act. For example, he learns to avoid his father's irresponsible sexual affairs. He rebels against religion. He decides not to follow the principal's compromising path to a position of professional responsibility. He doesn't want to play the buffoon in front of whites as Shorty does or even to defer to whites like his other friends do. On the other hand, he is fascinated by the biblical stories he hears in his family's church in much the same way as he is drawn to the story of Bluebeard. In addition, he may have acquired his stubborn insistence on following his own path from his grandmother's equally strong determination to do what she thinks right even when the rest of the world is doing something else. His mother's ability to endure suffering may have inspired him to persevere even in the face of adversity. Finally, some of his friends teach him how to survive in the white world and, although he may not entirely like their lessons, he heeds them in order to cope with life.

A better understanding of disease biology, mechanism of treatment refractoriness, identifications of Lamivudine driver mutation, the discovery of novel targeted therapies, cellular vaccine and adapted therapies should be explored in relapsed/refractory cases. Close national and international collaboration for translation research is needed to fulfil the unmet need. gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation, which are either metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and who have no satisfactory alternative treatments or who have progressed following treatment. In a patient with IF, upfront surgical resection should be considered. If the tumour is very large and a mutilating surgery is expected, neoadjuvant therapy similar to RMS may be administered. In cases of relapsed and metastatic IF, where the tumour is not surgically amenable, the patient should be started on larotrectinib or enrolled in a clinical trial. Summary of current modalities is mentioned in Table 4, recent novel therapeutic approaches are given in Table 5. Non-Chemotherapeutic Approaches in Refractory Pediatric Sarcoma Including Newer Advances Metronomic Therapy Metronomic therapy is low-dose, prolonged, continuous administration of drugs Lamivudine that inhibits angiogenesis.154,155 Metronomic therapy was shown to be safe and well tolerated in a study of 16 children with relapsed/refractory patients which included five patients with OGS.156 A randomized controlled trial comparing metronomic therapy with placebo, in extracranial non-hematopoietic paediatric solid tumours, post lines of chemotherapy were done to evaluate the role of metronomic therapy with the proportion of patients without disease progression as an endpoint. There was no significant difference between Lamivudine the two groups. However, in post hoc subgroup analysis patients who received more than three cycles and did not have bone sarcoma benefited with metronomic therapy.157 Metronomic therapy needs to Lamivudine be explored in a palliative setting, in clinical trials created for this mixed band of individuals. Defense Check-Point Inhibitors Few STS[1C5%] may possess genomic instability by means of Microsatellite instability [MSI], such as for example MSI-H, which may be the biologic basis of lacking mismatch restoration (dMMR).158 They could react to anti-programmed loss of life receptor FGF12B 1 [PDl] or anti-programmed loss of life receptor ligand 1 [PDL1] inhibitors. FDA offers authorized pembrolizumab Lately, a PD1 inhibitor as cure option using advanced solid tumours including STS that are refractory to regular of treatment therapy that are MSI-H or dMMR.159 PD-1Cexpressing TILs and tumour PD-L1 expression were observed in 65% and 58% of tumours in 105 cases of varied STS sub-types. Preliminary immunotherapy trials do Lamivudine show a moderate response in advanced STS with few tumour types demonstrated predominantly steady disease.160C163 Second research showed motivating results in a few adult-type STS [dedifferentiated liposarcoma & undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma] but non-e in paediatric sarcoma.111 Ipilimumab a CTLA4 immune system checkpoint inhibitor was evaluated in Stage I clinical trial for refractory pediatric sarcoma including OGS and RMS. No objective reactions were noticed.161 Similarly, a stage I/II trial in relapsed refractory Ewings sarcoma and OGS using nivolumab and mix of nivolumab plus ipilimumab didn’t show any objective response.163 Immunotherapy will probably not be as effectual as in adult oncology because pediatric cancers possess much less tumor mutational burden, disease fighting capability in children continues to be maturing and regulatory T cells within the microenvironment of pediatric sarcomas possess high immunosuppressive action which hinders immunotherapy.72 Many clinical tests ongoing on refractory STS evaluating the part of immunotherapy and most of them include adult individuals with STS (Desk 5). Tumor Vaccines Dendritic cell vaccine can be a novel strategy that are guaranteeing. In metastatic and refractory pediatric sarcoma autologous lymphocyte infusion plus sequential autologous tumor lysate vaccines had been given as adjuvant therapy after conclusion of regular therapy. Five-year success was 63% in sufferers with EWS and RMS and 74% in sufferers who didn’t have got any residual disease after regular therapy.164 CAR-T Therapy Because of the restrictions of defense checkpoint inhibitors in refractory pediatric sarcoma, CAR-T cells have generated an entire large amount of interest. The key problems rest in the rarity of the condition and finding a proper focus on. To circumvent.

The Loyola Stands Against Gun Violence committee is heartbroken about yet another mass shooting this week that has taken the lives of innocent people and has forever impacted families, communities, and our entire nation. As a committee focused on advocacy, collaboration, violence prevention, and community, we stand with you and ask that you continue to raise your voice against gun violence.
This past April, Loyola Stands Against Gun Violence welcomed Fred Guttenberg as the keynote speaker of the Community Advocacy and Violence Prevention Summit. In 2018, Mr. Guttenberg tragically lost his daughter Jaime in a mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida and has since dedicated his life’s work to the reduction of gun violence. Since the Summit, our nation has been faced with several more mass shootings and the tragic and preventable loss of innocent lives. As parents, educators, students, and healthcare workers, the recent shootings in Uvalde, Tulsa, Buffalo, and Irvine have left us broken. Mr. Guttenberg’s message, one we have heard continuously, is that firearm injury and deaths are preventable and gun violence is a public health conversation. However, this conversation does not end after a conference, or a news report, or an email. Loyola Stands reaffirms the need for policymakers to address gun violence, support mental health resources, invest in public safety, and in our communities.
It is a civil right for students and teachers to be able to meet in safe schools, for patients and clinicians to feel safe in a hospital, and for all of us to be able to safely go about our daily lives without the fear of gun violence. We understand that the longer our elected officials remain in political gridlock, without sensible controls on assault rifles, we can expect that mass shootings will become a commonplace reality. If elected leaders do not have the political will to keep people safe in worship spaces, grocery stores, malls, schools, and hospitals, then we need to change our elected leaders. We urge voters to carry the issue of gun violence into the polling place, relentlessly, until we have leaders who will keep our communities safe.
We ask you to continue to use your voice and to commit to advocacy against gun violence by:
1. Urging policymakers to take action by strengthening policies around safe storage of firearms, background checks, the sale and trade of weapons, ghost guns and assault weapons, high-capacity ammunition magazines, and gun modification equipment. Contact your members of Congress to raise the issue of sensible gun control legislation and attend your congressional representative’s public meetings or town halls. Call your U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
2. Use your social networks to advocate against gun violence.
3. Wear orange this weekend to bring attention to gun violence and peace.
4. Participate in March for Our Lives and Race Against Gun Violence events next weekend.
Loyola Stands invites you to participate in our upcoming Community Conversations focused on Stop the Bleed training, gun violence policy, mental health and trauma informed care, and emergency preparedness, among other important topics.
How do we find our hope when mass shootings and gun violence seem to be our new normal? As a community of individuals dedicated to social justice, to healing, to service, and to the lives of others, we find hope in the people we work with who are tirelessly focused on creating change. This is a reminder of who we are. We have a lot of work to do together.
Loyola Stands Against Gun Violence
As an interdisciplinary group of educators, healthcare professionals, and students, we serve together as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within our communities.
Our Core Values
Commitment to the Poor
As a mission-driven collaboration of anti-gun violence advocates, we will become leaders in improving the health of our community by making it a safer places to live. We will become trusted leaders in our community.
Stop The Bleed

As a student, you are always looking for ways to save time and money. Well, there is a tool that can help with both of those things – ai transcription software. In this article, we will discuss some of the best ways to use this tool to your advantage while you are in school, collage or the university. Let’s get started!
What Is an Ai Transcription Software?
An AI transcription software is a type of software that allows you to transcribe audio or video files using artificial intelligence. This type of software is usually much more accurate than traditional transcription software, and it can often be used to transcribe multiple languages.
It can be a valuable tool for anyone who needs to transcribe a large number of audio or video files. Ai transcription software owned by a good transcription company can provide high accuracy that can reach 97% -98%.
The Benefits of Ai Transcription Software for Students
First and foremost, ai transcription software can be used to save time when it comes to taking notes. If you are someone who likes to take notes by hand, then this tool can be a real lifesaver. Instead of having to write everything down, you can simply type it out and save it for later. This can be a huge time saver, especially if you are taking a lot of notes or have a lot of material to cover.
Another benefit of ai transcription software is that it can help you save money. If you are someone who often has to buy transcribed notes, then this tool can help you save a lot of money in the long run. You can simply transcribe the audio or video files yourself and then save them for later. This can be a great way to save money, especially if you are transcribing a lot of files.
Moreover, ai transcription software can also even improve your grades. If you are someone who struggles with taking notes, then this tool can be a great way to improve your grades. By using this tool, you will be able to take better notes and understand the material better.
This tool can also help students with hard hearing. If you have a hard time hearing the audio or video, then you can use this tool to transcribe it for later. This can be a great way to make sure that you don’t miss any important information.
How Long It Will Take to Transcribe a One Hour Lesson?
It depends on a number of factors, such as audio quality, student typing speed and software accuracy. However, on average, it should take the student about an hour and a half (including going over spelling mistakes) to transcribe an hour-long lesson. With the help of automated software, the student does not have to waste his time and all he needs is just to go through the final text to make sure there are no mistakes.
Is the Tool Effective in Meetings as Well?
Yes, the tool is effective in meetings as well. You can use the tool to transcribe the audio of the meeting so that you can follow along and take better notes. This can be a great way to make sure that you don’t miss anything important that is said in the meeting
How Many Students Use Automated Transcription Tool?
According to a recent survey, about 20% of students use automated transcription tool. This number is expected to grow in the coming years as more and more students learn about the benefits of this tool.
As in other areas of life where automation has become prevalent, so will it be in this area as well and tens of percent more will be expected by 2035.
So, Will This Be Part of Next Generation Education?
Early to say, but it can be a useful tool in next-generation education. As long as this software is helpful to the hard of hearing and disabled to better attend classes and sessions and can save valuable study time wasted on copying from the board or quoting the teacher, it should be adopted.
Ai transcription software can be a great tool for students. It can help you save time and money, and it can even improve your grades. Additionally, the tool can also help students with hard hearing. If you are looking for a way to save time and money, then this tool is definitely worth considering.

Called by governor Charles Clark, a special session of the legislature convenes this day at the First Baptist Church in Columbus. There is little to no good news in sight. The numbers of the destitute are overwhelming, while on the other end of the spectrum persons of means, Clark complains, “have hoarded supplies and will not sale.” Union raids are responsible for the scarcity of foods and goods, having “drained the country and raised the prices to fabulous rates.” To make matters all the worse, the governor notes that “the country is filled with deserters and marauders. Crimes are daily committed and the offenders escape punishment.”
In short, Mississippi’s economy, in addition to social and judicial order, is in shambles, with no end in sight.
The legislative session that begins today and continues until March 10 struggles to find solutions. Treasury bonds are approved and money appropriated to support the war effort and make repairs to repair the capitol in Jackson. Even so, a sense of defeat pervades the proceedings in the Baptist church. A number of legislators resign before the session comes to and end.

Recorded in a wide variety of spellings include Ciccolo, Cicconi, Ciccerale, Ciccarelli and Ciccarello, this is an Italian surname of Roman-Latin origins. It derives from the personal name "Franciscus", which was originally an ethnic name used to describe a "Frank", later to be known as a "Frenchman". Perhaps surprisingly it became a personal name of the 5th century a.d., with the meaning of "a free man". In the latter days of the Roman Empire, the Romans were permanently at war with the Franks, and it may be that at this time the name was used as a derogatory term by the Romans, for somebody who claimed to be a free man.Be that as it may the later surname, which dated from the 12th century, became hugely popular world wide, there being over two hundred spellings! These range from the English Francis and Franses, the French Francois and Frances, the Spanish and Italian Francisco and Francie, and diminutives such as Franzel (Germany), the Italian Scotti, Ciccolini and Zecchi, and the patronymics Francesconi (Italy), Franssen (Germany), Franson (England), and the Polish Franciskiewicz . The popularity of "Franciscus" it is said, was due in large measure to the fame of St. Francis of Assisi (1187 - 1226), however the name was also associated with the Knight Templars (Crusaders) of the 12th century. The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Hugo Francus, which was dated 1135, in the register of Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire, England, during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop", often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

What stitch is SC?
The single crochet stitch, abbreviated SC, is one of the 6 basic crochet stitches. It’s a beginner-friendly stitch that’s easy to learn and fun to crochet.
What does SC mean on yarn?
Single crochet is the most common basic crochet stitch that will result in fabric. It is abbreviated sc.
What is SC crochet?
Single crochet is the shortest and most basic of all stitches. Remember, you will never work in the first chain from the crochet hook, unless the pattern you are working specifically directs you to do so.
What does 6 SC mean in crochet?
For this round, you make 6 single crochet, “6 sc”, stitches total, and they are all made into the magic ring you just made in Line 2. The number in brackets at the end of the round, and at the end of every round, indicates the number of stitches you should have once you have completed that round.
What is sl st crochet?
sl st = slip stitch
It is also used to travel to another part of a row without producing any visible stitches (such as indenting an armhole on a sweater). To work a slip stitch into a chain stitch, first make a foundation chain of desired length, insert hook in last chain of foundation chain.
What does 2 sc in each st around mean?
Translation: Work two single crochets in each single crochet around. Since you are crocheting two stitches in each stitch around, you are doubling the stitch count (from 6 to 12) so that your circle expands outwards.
What does DC in the same st mean?
‘Double crochet (dc)’ is the same stitch as the American ‘single crochet (sc)’. … This stitch is used in the Brie Triangle Cushion Crochet Kit and the José Fringe Basket Crochet Kit.

In a study published in late 2011 in Nature, Stanford University geneticist Anne Brunet and colleagues described a series of experiments that caused nematodes raised under the same environmental conditions to experience dramatically different lifespans. Some individuals were exceptionally long-lived, and their descendants, through three generations, also enjoyed long lives. Clearly, the longevity advantage was inherited. And yet, the worms, both short- and long-lived, were genetically identical.
This type of finding—an inherited difference that cannot be explained by variations in genes themselves—has become increasingly common, in part because scientists now know that genes are not the only authors of inheritance. There are ghostwriters, too. At first glance, these scribes seem quite ordinary—methyl, acetyl, and phosphoryl groups, clinging to proteins associated with DNA, or sometimes even to DNA itself, looking like freeloaders at best. Their form is far from the elegant tendrils of DNA that make up genes, and they are fleeting, in a sense, erasable, very unlike genes, which have been passed down through generations for millions of years. But they do lurk, and silently, they exert their power, modifying DNA and controlling genes, influencing the chaos of nucleic and amino acids. And it is for this reason that many scientists consider the discovery of these entities in the late 20th century as a turning point in our understanding of heredity, as possibly one of the greatest revolutions in modern biology—the rise of epigenetics.
Epigenetics and the state of chromatin
In Brunet's lab, epigenetic inheritance is a big deal. Their Nature paper was the first to describe the phenomenon as it applies to longevity across generations, a breakthrough that emerged out of their quest to better understand the role of chromatin in inheritance.
Chromatin is a compact fiber of proteins and DNA that exists in either a condensed or a relaxed state. It assumes its condensed form during cell division in order to facilitate the splitting of chromosomes for distribution to daughter cells. Segments of the fiber, however, may retain this form when a cell is not dividing, with the result that genes occurring in these segments are fixed in an inactive state. Other stretches of the fiber, on the other hand, relax and open to allow regulatory proteins to access the DNA and activate genes.
Certain epigenetic modifications, such as the binding of methyl groups to histone proteins, the bobbins around which DNA is wound for chromatin packaging, are responsible for holding the fiber in an open state. But modifications are dynamic. During development, for example, chemical moieties attach to and detach from histones or DNA in an orchestrated fashion, their fluid dance aiding the execution of important functions, such as the establishment of patterns of gene expression for different types of tissues and the silencing of parental genes, a phenomenon known as parental, or genomic, imprinting.
Modifications can also accumulate during an organism’s lifetime. Because some of these acquisitions may affect DNA passed through the germline (in eggs and sperm) and may not be beneficial, they are erased at the time of reproduction, and the chromatin is returned to its original state. The process is not faithful, however, so some modifications slip through. In this way, chromatin modifications in parent DNA that are not reprogrammed are transmitted to the next generation.
Epigenetic inheritance of longevity in nematodes
There is increasing evidence that epigenetic modifications are transgenerational (inherited through multiple generations) in a variety of species. Examples include coat color in mammals, eye color in Drosophila, symmetry in flowers, and now longevity in C. elegans. These findings are exciting and raise intriguing questions about the seemingly limitless nature of epigenetics.
But the work of teasing out epigenetic modifications and their effects is arduous. To uncover the involvement of methylation in nematode longevity, Brunet and colleagues began by assessing the lifespans of C. elegans that were deficient in one of three genes, ash-2, wdr-5, or set-2; decreased or absent expression of these genes previously had been found to increase longevity in the species. They then crossed nematodes with genetic deficiencies with nematodes of normal genetic composition, pairings that in typical Mendelian fashion yielded wild-type (genetically normal) individuals, as well as individuals carrying the genetic alterations. Measurements of longevity were recorded for each of these populations and were compared with those of control populations (wild-type nematodes descended from wild-type parents). The findings revealed that the controls lived an average lifespan, whereas wild-type nematodes genetically identical to the control population but descended from mutant parents lived 20 to 30 percent longer.
Thus, the genetic deficiencies, though not inherited, had effected some type of change that endowed the genetically normal offspring of mutants with the same length lifespan that the mutants themselves experienced. The change, the Stanford team deduced, was methylation.
The proteins encoded by ash-2, wdr-5 and set-2 are part of a histone methylation complex known as H3K4me3, which is found across species ranging from yeast to humans. But the mechanisms underlying the inheritance of longevity are not clear. As Brunet explained, “We did not observe a global decrease in H3K4me3 levels in genetically wild-type descendants from mutants that are deficient in H3K4me3. We interpret that as saying there is not a global dearth of H3K4me3 that is inherited epigenetically.” Thus, the team's current model is that when the proteins are scarce or absent, H3K4me3 methylation is lost at specific locations in the genome, and longevity-associated modifications in chromatin state, or possibly other types of modifications (e.g., non-coding RNAs), are passed to the next generation.
Transgenerational inheritance of acquired characters in humans
Epigenetics has given life to Lamarckism and the previously discarded idea that characteristics acquired during an individual’s life are heritable. In fact, many scientists already have warmed up to this idea. “There seems to be a renewed acceptance for the Lamarckian concept (in limited cases),” Brunet said. “This could change our understanding of inheritance in that it would add another component, probably minor, but present, in addition to Mendelian genetics.”
It also adds another layer of significance to our daily lives. A number of environmental factors, from nutrients to temperature to chemicals, are capable of altering gene expression, and those factors that manage to penetrate germline chromatin and escape reprogramming could, in theory, be passed on to our children and possibly our grandchildren.
But while several studies have suggested that transgenerational epigenetic inheritance can occur in humans, actual evidence for it is scant. Among the more convincing cases thus far involves the synthetic estrogen compound diethylstilbestrol (DES), which was used in the mid-20th century to prevent miscarriages in pregnant women. DES, however, dramatically increases the risk of birth defects. It is also associated with an increased risk for vaginal and breast cancers in daughters and an increased risk of ovarian cancer in maternal granddaughters of women exposed to DES during pregnancy. Studies in mice have suggested that neonatal DES exposure causes abnormalities in the methylation of genes involved in uterine development and uterine cancer; in mice these abnormalities were still present two generations down the line, suggesting a transgenerational effect.
Given the elusive nature of inherited epigenetic modifications, it seems that, despite decades of investigation, scientists remain on the brink of understanding. The possibilities, however, seem endless, even with the constraint that, to be inherited, epigenetic modifications must affect gene expression in the germline, a feat that even genetic mutations rarely accomplish. But with the skyrocketing prevalence of conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and autism, which have no clear genetic etiology in the majority of cases, as Brunet pointed out, “It seems that all complex processes are affected by epigenetics.”
While scientists continue to search for definitive evidence of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in humans, the implications so far suggest that are our lifestyles and what we eat, drink, and breathe may directly affect the genetic health of our progeny.

When the Right Strategy is to Not to Conduct Remediation
The Challenge – Understanding Contamination and Sources
Have you ever heard the expression, “when you’re a hammer, every problem looks like a nail,”? It speaks to the sometimes base-level thinking of a practitioner with only one tool in their toolbox. The same can happen with environmental remediation solutions.
VOCs detected in soil vapor are increasingly becoming the driver for assessment and cleanup of sites like dry cleaners and plating facilities; soil vapor surveys are often the first and only type of sampling performed by Phase II investigation firms, as a way to reduce the cost of investigation.
Murex is regularly contacted by property owners facing a tough situation: They’ve attempted to sell a commercial/industrial property, allowed Phase II sampling, and discovered VOCs in soil vapor test results. They’ve been offered a proposal to conduct soil vapor extraction to “clean up” the vapor contamination. In the arena of environmental consulting firms, there are “remediation companies” that think every condition is a reason to conduct remediation, even when it may not solve the underlying issue.
Example Site – Risk of Advancing Remediation Without a CSM
Take the case of a multi-family residential property in Long Beach, California. Soil vapor test results indicated generally uniform concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) at 2,000 to 5,000 ug/m3 below the building. A remediation company installed and operated a soil vapor extraction system. After two years, no progress had been made, and a lot of money had been spent. Murex stepped in, examined the data, and quickly determined that there had not been a release on-Site. The source was a former dry cleaner down the street, and it had contaminated the entire neighborhood. The prior consultant never bothered to sample and analyze soil samples; if they had, they would not have observed any mass in soil indicating a release.
Murex is currently petitioning for our client’s case to be closed, and DTSC has placed the actual source site onto their “Cleanup in Vulnerable Communities Initiative” (CVCI).
Best Practices in Environmental Remediation
Remediation services are like surgery. Essential when needed but should be avoided when it won’t solve the underlying condition. And most importantly, a site is never ready for remediation until a source has been identified and delineated.
Detections of VOCs in soil vapor samples are a condition, which results from source mass in soil and/or in groundwater below the test site. In other words, soil vapor is an indicator of a problem, not the problem itself; it may be that the source of contamination is off-site on a different property. Never hire any remediation service firm that proposes remediation based on soil vapor sample data alone.
Murex’s principals treat every client and every site as a unique opportunity to strategically solve site challenges. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation on the approach, progress, and plan for closure of your client’s site.

The Bank of England has elevated its base fee 0.5 proportion factors to 1.75 per cent, the largest rate of interest hike in 27 years and its sixth rise since December 2021.
The 5 earlier base fee will increase since December 2021 every raised it by a smaller 0.25 proportion factors, taking it from 0.1 per cent to 1.25 per cent, earlier than the transfer right now.
Today’s 0.5 proportion level hike is the largest soar since 1997 when duty for the bottom fee was handed from the Government to the Bank of England.
Rate rise: The Bank of England has elevated the bottom fee of curiosity by 0.5% to succeed in 1.75%
The goal is to get a grip on the hovering inflation which continues to drive up the value of on a regular basis necessities comparable to meals, gasoline and power payments.
But the transfer will enhance the price of new fixed-rate and current variable fee mortgages.
Experts have stated that curiosity on the standard mortgage has now elevated by a whole lot of kilos per yr because the base fee rises started.
Banks and constructing societies might select to up their financial savings charges barely because of the base fee enhance, though because the base fee started rising in December 2021 most have failed to extend financial savings charges to a comparable degree.
Why is the bottom fee going up?
The Bank of England has now elevated the bottom fee six occasions since December 2021, going from 0.1 per cent to 1.75 per cent, in a bid to convey down inflation.
The base fee determines the rate of interest the Bank of England pays to banks that maintain cash with it and influences the charges these banks cost individuals to borrow cash or pay individuals to avoid wasting.
By elevating the bottom fee, it would hope to make borrowing dearer and saving extra profitable for Britons.
This in principle ought to encourage individuals to spend much less and save extra and due to this fact assist to push inflation down, by dampening the financial system and the sum of money banks create in new loans.
Cost of dwelling disaster: The CPI measure of inflation is forecast to hit 11% by the yr finish
At its easiest, inflation is the share enhance in the price of items and companies over the course of a yr.
Gas value rises and the rocketing value of meals look set to ship the buyer costs index (CPI) measure of inflation to 11 per cent earlier than the top of the yr. In June, it hit a 40-year excessive of 9.4 per cent.
CPI is the measure in opposition to which the Government units its inflation goal, at the moment at 2 per cent.
Yesterday, assume tank the National Institute of Economic and Social Research warned that the retail costs index, a separate measure of inflation, might hit 17.7 per cent by the top of the yr.
RPI is not an official statistic however it’s used to set rail fares, pupil loans repayments and a few funds to the Government.
High inflation is an issue as a result of it often signifies that costs are rising at a sooner degree than individuals’s incomes. It additionally makes it tough for companies to set these costs and for households to plan their spending.
What does it imply for mortgages?
The typical value of a mortgage has been pushed up by successive base fee rises.
In 2021 rates of interest had reached report lows with some offers priced at beneath 1 per cent – however now the most affordable fastened offers are charging greater than 3 per cent.
Cecilia Mourain, managing director for homebuying on the finance app Moneybox stated: ‘Lenders will hike mortgage charges straight after a Bank of England fee rise, however we have seen that usually they may come down once more, ever so barely, within the following weeks as lenders proceed to compete for enterprise.’
However, how this rise impacts debtors is dependent upon the kind of mortgage they’ve.
For these not on fastened charges the Bank of England resolution brings one other enhance, the third this yr, and even these on fastened charges will face elevated rates of interest when their time period ends.
Mortgage holders with a reduction deal, or a base fee tracker mortgage will see their funds enhance instantly.
As charges have fluctuated over the previous yr fewer debtors are selecting variable charges, opting as an alternative for fastened mortgages as a safety in opposition to the rises.
Those on their lender’s commonplace variable fee (SVR) will even probably see charges rises over the approaching weeks.
It is assumed that round 12 per cent of mortgages are at the moment on a normal variable fee, in line with UK Finance.
According to credit score app TotallyMoney, somebody with a mean UK residence costing £270,708 and a variable fee mortgage on a 25 per cent deposit faces paying £196 monthly greater than in November final yr, as soon as the 0.5 per cent hike is factored in.
Increases: The value of proudly owning a house is about to rise for some, as rates of interest on new fixed-rate mortgages and current variable fee ones will probably go up
Fixed-rate mortgages are the most well-liked alternative for householders within the UK, with round three quarters of residential debtors choosing one.
Analysis by L&C Mortgages previous to the rise confirmed that the common of the keenest two-year fastened fee mortgages now stands at greater than two per cent greater than it was at the start of the yr.
Fixed-rate mortgages don’t mechanically observe the bottom fee rise, however lenders will often enhance charges for brand spanking new candidates to some extent.
Those already on a set fee mortgage won’t instantly really feel the impact of the rise, as they’re locked into their current fee till the time period ends.
However, the variety of fastened offers ending at any level this yr is 1.3million and the speed hike will make it dearer for these seeking to remortgage.
First-time consumers additional squeezed
First-time consumers might significantly wrestle with the speed rises, as they usually earn much less and have bigger mortgages than individuals greater up the property ladder.
Rightmove has calculated that, with the 0.5 per cent fee hike, a first-time purchaser with a £224,943 residence on a ten per cent deposit mortgage on a two-year repair would see month-to-month mortgage funds enhance to a mean of 40 per cent of their gross wage, a degree not seen since 2012.
With every soar in rates of interest, householders are contributing roughly 1 per cent additional of their gross wage on common in direction of a mortgage
Tim Bannister, Rightmove
Prior to right now, it stated the common month-to-month mortgage fee for a first-time purchaser family was £976. This had already elevated by 20 per cent since January 2022 when it was £813.
Given the speed rise it will now enhance to a mean of £1,030, taking it from 38 per cent to 40 per cent of the common gross wage – a degree not seen since 2012.
A ten per cent deposit on a mean first-time purchaser kind house is now £22,494, which is 57 per cent greater than ten years in the past (£14,316) and the common asking value of a first-time purchaser house is at a report of £224,943.
Tim Bannister, Rightmove’s housing professional, stated: ‘With every soar in rates of interest, home-owners are contributing roughly 1 per cent additional of their gross wage on common in direction of a mortgage.
‘Average mortgage charges for a two-year repair are simply over 3 per cent in comparison with almost 6 per cent ten years in the past, so they’re nonetheless traditionally low.
‘However, as they creep upwards, the massive variety of first-time consumers seeking to transfer this yr might search for some monetary certainty by locking in longer mortgage phrases.’
Will it cease individuals shifting residence?
While the bottom fee has been step by step rising since November, home costs have continued to rise, stoked by sustained demand from residence consumers and movers.
According to Nationwide’s home value index, printed this week, home costs rose 11 per cent within the yr to July, up from 10.7 per cent in June, with the standard residence now value £271,000.
Nathan Emerson, CEO of property agent trade physique Propertymark, stated: ‘Buyers will probably be watching rates of interest very carefully, however the gradual nature of their upward trajectory from a traditionally low base is unlikely to be an element that by itself has an excessive amount of of an impact on the arrogance of those that are severe about shifting.
House value increase: Nationwide’s home value index recorded an 11% rise in yr to July
‘Potential consumers registering with our member brokers have outnumbered new property listings all through the primary six months of the yr, and by seven to 1 in June alone.
‘During the identical interval the Monetary Policy Committee has raised the bottom fee 4 occasions.’
However, others say that additional mortgage fee rises and will increase in the price of dwelling will finally deter some residence consumers.
Responding to the Nationwide index, main property agent Knight Frank stated massive rises in new mortgage charges meant ‘a slowdown is within the publish’ for the property market.
What does it imply for my financial savings?
While it’s doubtlessly unhealthy information for mortgage debtors, the bottom fee rise will probably be welcomed by savers who’ve endured rock-bottom charges for years.
Were savers to see a 0.5 proportion level rise handed onto them, somebody with £20,000 put away would obtain £100 extra a yr.
However, savers are being suggested to not count on an prompt enchancment to financial savings charges, however moderately a gradual rise over the approaching weeks and months.
James Blower, founding father of the Savings Guru stated: ‘The fee hike means that we’ll see rates of interest on financial savings proceed to extend gently within the coming months.
‘It will not imply we out of the blue see a 0.5 proportion level enhance in greatest purchase charges, as these are already properly forward of the bottom fee, however we are going to see fastened charges proceed to extend within the coming weeks.’
In different phrases, it would imply extra of the identical. The 5 earlier base fee rises have seen charges ticking upwards over the previous eight months.
Gradual rise: The base fee enhance ought to convey barely greater rates of interest for savers
This time final yr, the common easy-access fee was simply 0.18 per cent, in line with Moneyfacts. Now it has risen to 0.69 per cent.
The prime of This is Money’s unbiased greatest purchase tables has been a hive of exercise, with new market-leading charges to report virtually each week.
The greatest easy-access deal now pays 1.8 per cent – thrice greater than the most effective fee this time final yr.
The greatest one-year fastened deal pays 2.83 per cent, and the most effective two-year repair pays 3.22 per cent – the very best seen in a few decade, in line with Moneyfacts.
That stated, on the backside of the financial savings market charges have moved little and in some circumstances in no way.
It has been clear that lots of the massive banks haven’t any inclination at current to battle for saver money or play truthful on charges.
For instance, Barclays nonetheless presents simply 0.01 per cent on easy-access money. This is simply 10p on every £10,000 saved.
HSBC, Lloyds financial institution, NatWest and RBS all pay 0.2 per cent on their easy-access financial savings accounts.
Rachel Springall, finance professional at Moneyfacts says: ‘Loyal savers is probably not benefiting from the bottom fee rises and so they may very well be lacking out on a greater return in the event that they fail to check offers and change.
‘Interest charges are rising throughout the financial savings spectrum. However, out of the largest excessive avenue banks, just one has handed on all 5 base fee rises prior to now, which equate to 1.15 per cent, and a few have handed on simply 0.09 per cent since December 2021.
‘The endurance of some savers could also be sporting skinny, however there is no such thing as a assure they may see any profit from a base fee rise.
‘Keeping abreast of the highest fee tables is crucial and there’s little purpose for savers to miss the extra unfamiliar manufacturers if they’ve the identical protections in place as a giant excessive avenue financial institution.’
On the up: The greatest charges on easy-access accounts have now reached 1.5% and even greater
What about inflation?
There is not any denying that rising inflation is decimating the financial savings Britons have stashed away.
CPI inflation reached 9.4 per cent within the 12 months main as much as June, the very best it has been for 40 years, and the Bank of England is anticipating it to peak round 11 per cent within the autumn.
If the speed paid on financial savings is beneath the CPI, savers are successfully dropping cash in ‘actual’ phrases.
Even the most effective easy-access deal paying 1.8 per cent is greater than 5 occasions decrease than the present inflation fee.
Someone saving £10,000 on this account might nonetheless count on to see the worth of their financial savings pot in actual phrases fall by £760.
However, with the worth of everybody’s financial savings falling in actual phrases it’s arguably extra vital than ever to maneuver money to the very best paying offers.
Someone with £10,000 sitting in an easy accessibility account paying 0.1 per cent over the previous yr will have seen the worth of their cash fall by £930.
Hypothetically, had been inflation and financial savings charges to stay the identical, somebody with £10k in a 0.1 per cent deal might salvage £170 over the subsequent 12 months by switching to the most effective easy-access deal.
How excessive will financial savings charges go?
We’ve already seen some massive milestones reached over the previous few weeks and months.
There are actually a dozen easy-access suppliers paying 1.5 per cent or greater, with the market main fee paying as excessive as 1.8 per cent.
Blower says: I do not assume we are going to see easy-access charges breach the two per cent barrier over the subsequent few weeks.
‘Al Rayan are an outlier at 1.8 per cent with the remainder of the most effective purchase market at 1.55 per cent, however I count on that to vary by the top of the week and we are going to rapidly see consolidation of greatest purchase easy-access charges round 1.75 to 1.85 per cent and I feel we are going to see a best-buy with a 2 in entrance of it in late September or early October.’
As for fastened charges, in June we noticed these offers breach the three per cent barrier. Since then they’ve continued onwards and upwards.
The prime five-year fastened fee deal now pays 3.4 per cent, while even the most effective two-year deal pays 3.12 per cent.
Blower expects to see extra of the identical on the prime of market over the approaching weeks, significantly with shorter fastened time period offers.
‘I do not assume long run fastened charges of three years and above will enhance an excessive amount of from right here, says Blower. ‘I feel the yr finish greatest purchase 5 yr will nonetheless be sub 4 per cent – however quick time period charges will rise.
‘But I count on the one-year fastened market to interrupt 3 per cent within the autumn and we might even see the most effective two-year offers attain 3.5 per cent.’
Unfortunately, the large banks are unlikely to vary their tune although, which suggests a big proportion of savers might want to take motion and transfer their cash to lesser recognized suppliers to see any significant distinction.
The quantity held in accounts providing charges of 0.1 per cent or much less stays at over £300billion, in line with Paragon Bank’s evaluation of the most recent CACI knowledge, which supplies a snapshot of financial savings deposits held with greater than 30 of the largest banks major banks.
‘Unfortunately I do not assume we are going to see the large banks enhance charges by a lot,’ says Blower. ‘I feel that [the base rate rise] will power them to extend charges from the place they’re, however I count on them to each drag their heels on it and never move on wherever close to the complete rise.
‘Savers might want to change to the smaller new entrants and challengers to get a great return on their financial savings and the monetary profit to take action will now be value a number of hundred kilos a yr so it’s value taking motion on.’
‘Just go for it’: Savings professional James Blower says these on the lookout for a greater fee should not spend an excessive amount of time attempting to ‘guess’ the market
What ought to savers do?
With fee rises occurring every week on the prime of the market, savers might really feel cautious about switching because of the hazard of lacking out on a greater deal within the close to future.
With charges prone to proceed shifting upwards pushed by competitors between challenger banks, savers could also be tempted to stay in easy-access offers in order to stay versatile.
However, the hole between the most effective one-year repair and easy-access account is now in extra of 1 proportion level, which means now may very well be a great time to make use of a set deal for 12 months.
Of course, given the price of dwelling squeeze, it is all of the extra vital to have some simply accessible cash to behave as a monetary cushion to cope with unexpected occasions.
However, for individuals who have already got a monetary cushion constructed up and will not be planning on utilizing their extra money within the close to future, then fastened fee financial savings might make sense.
Blower provides: ‘If you desire a fastened fee then do not spend an excessive amount of time attempting to guess the market, simply go for it since you’ll by no means name the highest of it proper and you will probably miss out on extra curiosity attempting to time the market than you may acquire by timing it proper.
‘The greatest one yr fastened is over 1 proportion level greater than the most effective easy accessibility, and that’s sufficient of a premium to repair for that time period, however I would not transcend that.
‘If charges proceed to rise, savers nonetheless have time to repair once more subsequent yr at doubtlessly greater charges when possibly a long run will look extra rewarding.’

- Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
By Vice President for Research Lisa Cassis
With new funding and increased emphasis, collaborative community networks are targeting complex health issues such as chronic disease management and healthy lifestyle. But how effective are these networks? A recent study published in Health Affairs by Rachel Hogg Graham, at the UK College of Health Sciences, and Danielle Varda at the University of Colorado.
Hogg Graham and Varda analyzed the characteristics of 260 cross-sector community health networks from 2008 to 2015, with data from PARTNER—the Program to Analyze, Record and Track Networks to Enhance Relationships—a tool developed by Varda.
Hogg Graham said, “The PARTNER tool asks some really interesting questions on trust and value and resources contributed. Trust and value are incredibly important to these networks, as well as how you perceive those partners. Partners working across sectors need to develop a collaborative process in which each partner sees the benefit of participation, thereby increasing motivation to stay engaged and make investments to support network goals.”
The data showed that nonprofit organizations were more prevalent than private firms or government agencies in these networks, but nonprofit organizations were not rated as highly as other sectors on value. Traditional types of partners in community health networks such as hospitals, community health centers, and public health agencies were the most trusted and valued by their fellow network members. However, nontraditional partners, such as private employers or universities, reported contributing relatively high numbers of resources to their networks.

In this paper, we study two recent theoretical models—a population-sizing model and a convergence model—and examine their assumptions to gain insights into the conditions under which selecto-recombinative GAs work well. We use these insights to formulate several design rules to develop competent GAs for practical problems. To test the usefulness of the design rules, we consider as a case study the map-labeling problem, an NP-hard problem from cartography. We compare the predictions of the theoretical models with the actual performance of the GA for the map-labeling problem. Experiments show that the predictions match the observed scale-up behavior of the GA, thereby strengthening our claim that the design rules can guide the design of competent selecto-recombinative GAs for realistic problems.

On this day:
Alec Issigonis replies to Sir Donald Stokes letter of April 10th 1968.
Dear Sir Donald,
I enclose a short resume of work that I am currently engaged on in my new undertaking.
Management approval or rejection of these projects is still to be determined, but at the earliest opportunity I shall discuss the matter with Bertie Fogg in greater detail, so that you can appraise the situation with more facts at your disposal.
Most of the research work outlined below presupposes that we shall continue to produce a Mini in the foreseeable future. It is very important to arrive at a decision over this matter as soon as possible, because on this depends the speed at which the development work is executed. A low priority programme is both time consuming and costly in the long run. The greatest need in combating increased production costs over the year is the development of a new engine for a small car of this type.
The present A-series engine offered a quick way of getting the car into production in 1959, but has outlived its purpose both for weight and cost compared with European competition; although its performance is still well up to modern standards. The enlarged version (1300) is perfectly competitive for cars in the category above the Mini type of vehicle i.e. the lower medium class range.
- Design and development of a 750/998cc four-cylinder engine and transmission system for transverse or normal drive applications, for a new small car. In addition to this work we are doing a design study, in conjunction with Automotive Products Ltd, for a 4-speed automatic transmission unit.
- Development of a 6 cylinder version of the above engine to give capacities from 1300 to 1490cc , using as much common tooling as possible including the same transmission system.
- Development of a new Mini. This is being studied in two versions, one 6 inches shorter than the present car (120 inches) and another 10 inches longer or 4 inches longer than the present model. This will embody common suspension parts but, in order to keep production costs down to a minimum, hydrolastic has had to be abandoned in favour of conventional springing. This is because a simplified version of the hydrolastic design, which we have been working on for some time, has not yet materialised.
- Development of a small hydrostatic supsension system in collaboration with N.E.L. The arrangement incorporates motors in each wheel and eliminates the use of high pressure hoses to transmit oil to these units.
- General work on induction systems including the use of updraft carburettors for anti-pollution work. This work is very necessary in order that we can dispense with the expensive after burning devices which we have had to incorporate into our cars at present being sold in America.

The Place of Places: Chapter 61, Bitlis, Fresno, Los Angeles, 1926
Welcome back to the Place of Places, a chapter-by-chapter analysis of William Saroyan’s 1972 memoir, Places Where I’ve Done Time. Today we remember his roots in Bitlis, Fresno, Los Angeles, 1926.
This chapter is more or less about the concept of “home.” What makes a place your home? It’s what this whole book has been grappling with and many of his other memoirs touch on this question, as well. Saroyan was interested in identity, his own and others’.
Like many young people, he shunned his hometown for many years, feeling that Fresno was suffocating and limiting. But as he aged, he began to appreciate where he grew up and gained a new perspective on the idea of “belonging.” He explains, “Places make people. They very definitely do, almost physically. Places procreate. They are part of the human procreation process…There are places that are all business, and places that are all fun and frolic, and still other places that are all light and song and the senses and love” (Places Where I’ve Done Time). As we have seen in previous chapters, Saroyan’s brand of spiritualism had an Eastern flavor to it. And here we might say that Saroyan is talking about the “vibes” of a place. This is particularly useful for an author, as some of the greatest works of literature present their setting as a character in the story. And this is especially true of the writers that Saroyan admired, like Mark Twain, Jack London, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Dickens, and others who made their settings central to their plots and character development. This might have been something that he picked up on very early in his life, as he was reading in the Fresno Public Library as a child.
Let’s address the first place in the name of this chapter, Bitlis. It was the ancestral homeland of Saroyan’s family, but it was engulfed by the Ottomans in the 19th century. Bitlis has a complex history, having been occupied by Muslim Arabs, Armenians, Byzantines, Persians, Mongols, Kurds, Ottomans, Russians, and finally modern Turks. Both sides of Saroyan’s family were from Bitlis. In fact, Armenak and Takoohi had the same last name, though they weren’t related by blood. The Saroyan roots ran deep there and in the whole region around Lake Van. For much of Saroyan’s life, Bitlis was legend, available only in stories from his elders. The reality of Bitlis was immaterial compared to the symbol it represented: the culture of his people and the tribe he could belong to with unconditional love.
In an interview in the 1970s, he explained,
“We are the product of two things well-known and established by everybody. The inherited and the environmental. I am an American by environment. I am an Armenian, that’s who I am. I was born an Armenian. But you put me in California, that’s my home. So somebody told me ‘What does California mean to you?’ I said, to be perfectly honest, it’s my native land. I have a very deep attachment to it. He says ‘As much as to Hayastan?’ Yes, as much as to Hayastan, as much as to Bitlis. In an allegorical rather than sentimental sense, Bitlis is supreme. But this is another dimension of experience. This is almost a dream. This is almost beyond anything that we need. Try to measure in terms of the reasonable, because, remember, Bitlis has become a kind of monument of our loss” (“Candid Conversation with Garig Basmadjian,” William Saroyan: The Man and the Writer Remembered).
David Calonne, a noted Saroyan expert, writes,
“William Saroyan was both enchanted and haunted by the ‘mulberry-scented air of Baghesht’: the splendid famous town of his ancestors. The quest for his familial beginnings in historical Armenia can be seen throughout his oeuvre, and his invocation of Bitlis is often a frantic search for traces of father Armenak…In the play Bitlis, he returns to the birthplace of his family in a final tender effort to reconnect with his actual and imagined past…Places for writers inevitably become imbued with personal, private meanings and become imaginative microcosms: symbolic landscapes upon which the artist's obsessions are enacted. So Faulkner's Mississippi became Yoknapatawpha County and Northern Michigan was mythologized by Hemingway into the ritualized initiatory scene of his powerful fishing story "Big Two-Hearted River." California's Salinas Valley was transformed into John Steinbeck's East of Eden, while Henry Miller's Pacific Coast became Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch. So too did Saroyan make Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley in My Name Is Aram and The Human Comedy into a sunlit and tragic realm: a microcosm of Armenian immigrant experience.” (“The Mulberry-Scented Air of Bagesht: Saroyan’s Quest for Bitlis,” Calonne)
It is from this symbol that we can approach the rest of this chapter and in fact, his entire body of work. Bitlis is family and dispossession and resilience.
Saroyan uses smells as important metaphors in this chapter. A common literary tool, descriptions of smells can make very visceral connections with readers. He writes, “There were also the magnificent smells in the house in which one did one’s early time: the very walls themselves, the people who lived in the house, and the things they cooked or baked: Armenian bread, for instance, in the three popular forms prepared by the Saroyan family: the round, wafer-thin flat bread, the oval loaf bread only an inch or two thick, and the diamond-shaped little loaves of butter bread.” He goes on to explain that his family grew parsley, mint, basil, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and those smells were part of him too. These were the smells of Bitlis in Fresno.
Another topic of interest to Saroyan, especially in his later works of fiction, was assimilation. This is an evergreen subject for immigrants and the question is often - What do we lose when we assimilate so that we can succeed economically? It’s a major theme of the novel Rock Wagram, published in 1951. To Saroyan, the smells of Armenia keep him grounded in his culture when it would have been easy to lose oneself in the so-called American melting pot. This was a feeling that grew more and more powerful as he aged.
Next on the list for this chapter is Fresno, providing both a sense of belonging and rejection, the American immigrant experience in a nutshell. It was too small, too remote, too bigoted. But it also represented family and the legacy of his culture in diaspora. And it was where he was born, which he had an attachment to for better or worse. “After the World, after being Anywhere at all, my place was Fresno, and as far as I am concerned it was the very best possible place for me to be – and for this reason: that’s where I was dropped. The minute we met, that was it. We belonged to each other. Forever. It was a fact. I was born there. I wasn’t born in Bitlis, Marseilles, London, New York, or anywhere else. I was born in Fresno. It was my place. I loved it. I hated it” (Places Where I’ve Done Time).
In this book alone, almost a quarter of the chapters are devoted to Fresno. It certainly had pull on his emotions, and the world was changing rapidly in the years that he lived there – 1916 through 1926. “Fresno had great early appeal for me. It had a fine smell of dust, of the desert, of rocks baking in the sun, of sand with cactus growing out of it, of water flowing in rivers and ditches, of orchards and vineyard set out in great geometric patterns, of leaf and blossom and fruit. It also had all the smells of rot, decay, and ferment: the great heaps of grape pulp and skin at the wineries sent smell all through the town if there was a little wind stirring” (Places Where I’ve Done Time). Perhaps no other artist has so beautifully rendered the hot farmland of the Central Valley, not generally known for its splendor.
Last on the list in this chapter is Los Angeles. Here he is repeating part of his story from Chapter 59. “After I got out of the National Guard in Los Angeles in August of 1926 I was still half-sick from the sickness I had fought in the furnished room behind the brand new Public Library. Something was wrong. I wasn’t myself. Things were assaulting me from all sides, breaking me up. I wasn’t in one piece.” Uncle Mihran finds him on a corner in LA and takes him to a Greek restaurant where he says, “the food was like the food at home. I ate vegetables with lamb, and that was it –the good food with the good smell brought me back together again. And so did running unexpectedly into a member of my family. Fresno was my place, and my family was my place” (Places Where I’ve Done Time).
Once again, it is the smells of the past that bring him back together and make him feel safe again. And there’s a scientific reason for that – smells move through the olfactory bulb, which has a direct line to the limbic system that contains regions associated with emotion and memory. Similarly, taste moves through the nasal regions as well, so that flavors are actually smells. It is even thought that smell is the most developed sense through about age 10, when sight takes over. Thus, smells from childhood can evoke the most memories and emotions. The flavors of Fresno and family were unsurprisingly very strong, and left a lasting impression on Saroyan.
Saroyan isn’t considered a flowery writer. Instead of using visual descriptions, he leaned heavily on descriptive smells, a more subtle and possibly more evocative form of description. When his mother leaves him at the orphanage, he writes, “She went off, taking with her the smell of mother, and to a man not yet three that's quite a smell. It's made of skin and soap and a little perspiration and a little powder from Woolworth's, but mainly of her, unaccountable, of the pieces broken and not picked up” (Here Comes, There Goes You Know Who). He also describes the orphanage as smelling of lye or strong soap, the smell of an institution (Here Comes, There Goes You Know Who).
Saroyan’s body of work is obsessed with memory and relentless passage of time. Throughout Places Where I’ve Done Time, we can see that Saroyan is everywhere all at once, a sort of autobiographical singularity that allows him to put his life into perspective. He writes in this chapter, “How lucky every man is in being where he is, and from the millions of years of his people, whoever they are. Well, he can be sure of one thing, if they are here at all, they’ve been everywhere, they’ve been everybody – he is himself the King of Kings.”

How such a tiny body can contain the most extraordinary aromas and flavors is fascinating! I believe that spices captivate us with their enormous power, their ability to make us travel and dream, to evoke memories of places we have visited long ago, and those we have never been to. Spices work their power in our senses and our imagination.
Not many kitchens contain such an extensive array of essential Indian spices as Indian cuisine. All of them are essential. The spices of India are the great symbol of indigenous gastronomy. Let's meet a handful of its protagonists.
Opening this list is the least known of all the spices that I’m going to mention. Besides curry leaves, it is the only one that is used almost exclusively in Indian cuisine.
And what is the amchoor? Well, it is nothing other than mango powder. The fruit is harvested while it is still green, then dried and ground. Thus, an aromatic powder condiment with an intense, bittersweet, and fruity flavor is obtained, perfect for flavoring curries, soups, chutneys, and marinades, among many other preparations.
We all know cinnamon as that sprig or powder that is used in some sweets. In India (as in other countries), they use this sweet, delicate, and warm flavor in savory dishes, such as curries, rice dishes, stews, and chicken recipes. This creates a unique taste with contrast.
The most appreciated cinnamon is Ceylon, softer and without the bitterness that cassia or Chinese cinnamon generally presents.
3. Coriander Seeds
Cilantro has finally started to become popular in many countries. At least its leaves are used, like aromatic grass. I have a feeling that it will still be a while until its roots and seeds are also seen in many homes' cupboards around the world.
India is "a few" years ahead of the world, as they use the entire plant. The seeds are especially important: they are used for flavoring and thickening, as they absorb liquids very well. They have a delicate aroma and a slightly earthy flavor with a citrus note.
The seeds are usually ground and mixed with other spices. They serve as a condiment in all kinds of Indian cuisine but go incredibly well with lamb, pork, beef, and fish.
Cumin is one of the essential Indian spices, as it is used in many other cuisines worldwide. In other countries, people usually buy it in powder form, however, the common thing is to take the seeds and toast them or grind them if the recipe requires it. It has an unmistakable taste: earthy, musky, bitter, and slightly spicy. I love cumin!
It combines incredibly well with chili, meat, beans, and legumes in general, and is a staple in Indian curries.
If there is something that turmeric draws attention to, it is its color: whatever it touches, it leaves its intense and vibrant pigment. Its footprint is unmistakable. Many people don't know that this orange powder comes from a root very similar to that of ginger.
It was known as "Indian saffron" for its similar color in medieval Europe. This story reminds me of the achiote (a spice that turns food yellow).
There are more than 30 varieties of turmeric in India. Its sweet, warm, earthy, and slightly spicy flavor is used to flavor curries and fried dough, poultry, legumes, and rice. It combines very well with black pepper, chili, cumin, coriander, and mustard seeds.
6. Curry leaves
There are small trees, known as "curry trees," that produce leaves highly valued in Indian cuisine. Go ahead; curry leaves have nothing to do with curry powder (British invention).
They are not as raw a species as others that we mention in this list, but they cannot be missing in your kitchen if you face an Indian recipe book.
The fresh leaves have a strong aroma, with citrus and herbal notes. These qualities are much more subtle in the case of dry leaves. Curry leaves are used as a base seasoning in (oh, surprise) curries and legume-based preparations.
According to an expert chef friend of mine, the correct way to use them is as follows: the leaves are crushed a little in your hand and added to the hot oil, where they are lightly sautéed with the rest of the spices. Thus, all the oil is soaked in flavor, ready to receive the vegetables and other raw materials that will star in the dish.
7. Nutmeg and Mace
I’m going in with a 2 in 1: two Indian cooking spices obtained from the same fruit (nutmeg). On the one hand, I have the nutmeg, a hard and rounded seed that I saw when I was little in the cupboard without knowing very well the uses that my mother had for it.
The other, less known, is mace. It is about the aril that surrounds the seed, that orange and rubbery network. The two share a fresh, woody, warm aroma and flavor, with a sweet and spicy note. They are used in sweet and savory preparations, alone or combined in mixes of spices. I use them in stews, soups, and creams, and as a condiment in egg, chicken, lamb, and pork dishes. Also, they are widely used in spicy cookies and cakes.
8. Mustard Seeds
Although there are almost forty mustard varieties, the three main ones are black, yellow, and brown mustard. All three types are used in Indian cuisine, although the most important is black mustard.
Black mustard seeds have a strong, bitter, and spicy taste. They are used in curries, stir-fries, soups, and creams. It is advisable to sauté them in hot oil so that they release their full potential. Sometimes the seeds are crushed into a paste to flavor fish and vegetables.
This is one of the tastiest of Indian cooking spices, known for its anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial qualities, and has been used in many forms in ancient medicines. Cloves contain nutrients that aid digestion and reduce inflammation. It is a primary ingredient and one of the essential Indian spices, but it does not originate from it. It would have been brought in the 13th or 14th century.
In powder or grain, black pepper can be used by default to season your dishes because it goes well with almost anything. Be careful though, it is the spiciest and most aromatic of peppers; a pinch is enough to spice up a dish.
Indian cuisine differs by region and, in particular, according to the spices used. The basis of all dishes, regardless of their origin, is masala (which means spice in Hindi). The richness and power of Indian dishes' flavors derive from the quantity and diversity of the spices used. The proportions of each spice are generally adapted to the tastes of the individual. Thus, by varying the quantities used in the "masala mix," we obtain a very different final flavor.

By Celia Coates
If you’ve had an experience of subtle energies, you may not be able to explain or prove it, but you’ve learned something about what they are.
If you haven’t, you might understand a little more from the opening paragraphs in two books published a few years ago: SUBTLE ENERGY by William Collinge and VARIETIES OF ANOMALOUS EXPERIENCE by Etzel Cardena, Steven Jay Lynn, and Stanley Krippner.
Collinge began with a quote from Lao-Tzu:
“Look, it cannot be seen – it is beyond form. Listen, it cannot be heard – it is beyond sound. Grasp, it cannot be held – it is intangible.”
Then he described the experiences of two different people,
“Walking down the street in a strange city, he felt a sudden pull to enter a certain cafe. There sat an old friend he hadn’t seen in years.
After lying facedown on the earth for twenty minutes, she realized that all her tension and depression had left her. She felt rejuvenated and infused with fresh energy.”
“Real forces are moving within our bodies and the world around us – unseen, unheard, and some undetected by even the most sensitive scientific instruments. In recent years researchers have coined the term ‘subtle energy’ to describe these forces. While an understanding of subtle energies has been part of many cultures and spiritual traditions for millennia, Western science is only now beginning to acknowledge they exist.
Earlier in this century (the 20th), Albert Einstein showed through physics what the sages have taught for thousands of years: everything in our material world – animate and inanimate – is made of energy; and everything radiates energy. The earth is one enormous energy field – in fact, a field of fields. The human body is a microcosm of this – a constellation of many interacting and interpenetrating energy fields.”
In the book about anomalous experiences the three authors wrote:
Tales of strange, extraordinary, and unexplained experiences with the ‘unknown’ have long fascinated artists, scientists, and the lay audience. The period of the 19th century European Romanticism was a time of deep interest in alterations of consciousness; such works as George Eliot’s THE LIFTED VEIL featured reputed parapsychological phenomena as a central part of their plot. In the 20th century, the Surrealist movement paid special attention to automatic writing and drawing, altered states of consciousness, and dreams. … At the beginning of the 21st century, popular interest in such topics as near-death experiences, purported parapsychological phenomena, and mystical events has remained very strong. This can be explained, in part, because many anomalous experiences seem to hold great significance for those who have them or even for those who just vicariously partake of them.”
Many people assume that because they have not had one of the blindingly obvious beyond-ordinary experiences such as a near-death experience, a life saving premonition, or a healing recovery from a terrible disease, that they have not had an experience of subtle energies. But there are many, many genuine subtle energies experiences that we all have that are more like the “pull” to turn aside and encounter an old friend in an unexpected place than like having a chance to glimpse the white light of heaven.
When we try to figure out whether or not what we’ve experienced is from the intangible fields of interpenetrating energies that surround us, it is important to have the right kind of open mind – an inquiring approach that is neither too skeptical nor too accepting. The advice from Lao-Tzu is useful: look, listen, and grasp the details of subtle experiences as you would for more solid and ordinary ones. Then question if there are any simple ways to explain what happened. I’ve told the story before of the man in my office who noticed the ceiling lights flicker once and then later flicker again while he was talking about his life. He was convinced that this was a meaningful message from another dimension and would not believe the real cause – a drain on the electrical power caused by the air conditioning system switching on.
Evidence of the non-tangible fields of interacting energies may not be measurable but these subtle energies certainly can be experienced. There probably are things that we’ve known in our own lives that we’ve brushed aside as unimportant or as misperceptions. Perhaps it’s time to take a second look. When we re-examine them, it’s a good idea to be ready to set aside the events that have an ordinary explanation – like the flickering lights. As we become increasingly familiar with what is, and what isn’t, an experience of subtle energies, it’s also important to notice the times when we respond to one of those “pulls” and nothing special occurs. We can observe these phenomena in a variety of forms – in and around the body, through our minds and states of consciousness, and beyond ourselves in the spiritual dimensions. As the three authors noted, these energies can be experienced as unusual events that have significant personal meaning.
This is a tiny amount of information about a vast part of life, but it’s a beginning. It might encourage you to pay attention and to become curious about what you’ve experienced. Maybe that coincidence was more than a coincidence, maybe the friend who told you about a dream that warned them of danger wasn’t just imagining things, and maybe it wasn’t just an unexplained “spontaneous remission” when someone recovered from a terminal cancer. Become curious, ask questions, explore…….
WINN will publish future posts with more to say about subtle energies – it’s a central focus for this magazine.

Do you want to buy skis, but don’t really know where to start? There are many different types of skis to choose from and it can be difficult to narrow your search. One tip for the advanced skier is Black crows atris. When you are deciding on what kind of skis you need or want, there are some things you need to consider.
Things to consider:
- Length and size
- Ski width
- Turning radius
- Rocker type
- Your riding style and preferred terrain
Length and Size
Choosing the right length ski largely depends on your height, body weight, and what type of riding you want to do. One good starting point is to pick a ski length that hits somewhere between your chin and the top of your head. After that you can think about things like preferred riding style, snow, and terrain. Beginners that don’t want to ski to fast can choose a short ski. For you that you ski fast or aggressively, or plan to do a lot of off-piste skiing, you need a slightly longer ski.
For good information about skis and other gear, visit Freeride. On that webpage you can find many things related to skiing. Read more about ski resorts or learn more about different gear. They have a really good gear guide on skis, snowboards, goggles, helmets, ski bindings, ski boots and so on.

It´s almost impossible to understand how a pair of sweaty hands can be a problem, until you experience them yourself. Not being able to shake a strangers hand can be mistaken for rudeness, and to shake their hands with clammy palms can be even worse. It´s a catch 22 to be honest. Luckily there are ways to remedy the problem and here I will present 3 common ways to get rid of clammy and sweaty palms.
1. Powder can help
Baby powder, or cornstarch, can be very effective. Keep a bottle of powder on you at all times and make it a habit to pull it out and douse your hands. The effect is immediate and will hide your problems from other very effectively. The downside of this method is that it is hard to hide. Everyone will see you use the powder, and it can end up on your clothes.
Iontophoresis is a very fancy name for a treatment that includes electric current. This is a treatment that is used for severe cases of hyperhidrosis and has proven to be extremely effective. Iontophoresis cures sweaty hands and feet by a series of treatments. You simply emerge your limbs into a bath that then will be used as conductor and treat the illness. This is perhaps the best way to treat clammy hands since it is a long term solution.
Not drinking it mind you, but for external use. Wipes with alcohol can slow down the perspiration an make you hands dry. The method is simple to use, but has no long term effect. Using alcohol for reducing sweat is also drying your skin out, which means you will need to moisturize often. And lotions on clammy hands can make the problem worse.

One of the best moments of many people's days is that moment in the evening when they slowly sink into a bathtub full of hot water and bubbles. Well, ok, bubbles are perhaps not for everyone, but who doesnt' like a hot bath to wind down before bedtime? I know I do.
I put my savings in the bathroom
I had a miserable bathroom up until recently, but I still had my evening baths in there. I set the lighting down and switched on som chillout music and ignored all the ugliness. I can't deny though, that i Nurtured a dream of a brand new bathroom in light shades and sophisticated details and saved up money for that particular project over the course of almost a year. The time for my bathroom remodeling came this spring and I was adviced to hire Kerkinni & Company in Minneapolis for the job (and I was confidente about that choice already after our first conversation on the phone).
I had plenty of ideas, but didn't know what was doable and what might be better elsehow so I'm really glad I had a super esperienced remodeling firm to help me out, guide and support me through the whole project.
I still spend almost every evening in my bathtub, and now it's such a pleasure to enter the bathroom. It's light, warm and inviting - and full of modern solutions.
The next thing to save up some money for will be the kitchen.

Customer loyalty is a commitment to a company that they are loyal to. This situation means that their purchase decisions are not affected by price or availability. Customer loyalty is basically profit creation for service providers. The program aims to improve customer loyalty via various measures such as special sales and rewards.
The Customer Loyalty Program, which is either a cost per action (CPA), or a performance-based, seeks to build customer loyalty via various factors like reward points and discounts, customer retention rates, etc.
Rewards points are a measure for achievement. They are determined by various criteria, such as customer retention rate, frequency of purchases, and number of buy transactions. So, the more customer retention rates are, the higher the reward points will be for that customer. Customers who make purchases through the Customer Loyalty Program receive coupons, discounts and gifts. The Customer Loyalty Program aims to increase customer return visits to your website and encourage repeat purchases. You can achieve greater ROI, or return on investment, by using this program. It measures the conversion rate between existing customers and new customers, as well as the number of customers who visit your site.
One of the many advantages of a customer loyalty program is: It helps increase customer loyalty. Many other programs, including reward programs, loyalty cards, and reward programs, help customers to identify their individual needs and improve them. It’s a great way for you to understand your customers and help them to be satisfied.
The common benefits include: reduced operational costs, and greater brand exposure. This program is extremely effective in attracting customers. You will get the best return on your investment.
A customer loyalty program can help reduce customer churn rates and increase customer satisfaction. A customer loyalty program can help you enjoy all these benefits, while also improving customer relations.
Customer loyalty programs have many benefits for the seller as well as the buyer. But, the Internet and technology today has made it possible to automate these programs. Automating a customer loyalty programcan be even more beneficial.
KIPPIN is a company well-known for its bookkeeper software services. They also provide the best accounting software for small businesses.On the infographic below, they share all the reasons why digitization can be a smart move for entrepreneurs to make customer loyalty programs more digital:

The fore boom has simpler rigging than the main boom, and goes pretty quickly.
The fore boom’s tackle is nearly identical to the one on the main boom. It is secured to the bottom of the boom and made with 0.018″ tan line.
The fore boom sheet runs from the aft end of the boom down to the fore boom sheet buffer on the deck. Two double blocks are laced with 0.018″ tan rigging line. A pin with an eye secures the lower block to the boom sheet buffer on the deck. A fairlead, made from a slice of brass tube (wrapped in black rigging line) is attached to pin’s eye.
The free end of the sheet’s line runs through the fairlead and is tied off to a belaying pin on the fife rail.
The fore boom topping lift pulls upward on the boom and holds it off the deck. It starts just below the trestle tree on the main mast, where it is hooked onto a small metal piece that was installed when the mast was built.
Black 0.008″ rigging line was used for the pendant, running from the mast down to a double block.
The block here is tiny, which resulted in one of my worst block seizings. Not proud of this one.
Tan 0.008″ line runs between this block and a lower block that is hooked to the boom.
The lower block is hooked to the eye at the end of the boom.

PLN managing editor Alex Friedmann attended the conference and sat in on several presentations that addressed the issue of telemedicine in the correctional setting. Telemedicine involves medical consultations over a remote connection, typically with a patient speaking with a physician or other medical practitioner on a video screen.
The first NCCHC conference session on telemedicine was conducted by Lawrence Mendel, a physician and acting medical director at the Leavenworth Detention Center, a facility operated by Corrections Corporation of America.
According to Mendel, the first prison telemedicine program began in 1978 at the South Florida Reception Center in conjunction with Jackson Memorial Hospital. The use of telemedicine expanded during the 1990s and it is now used in a variety of settings to provide long-distance medical evaluations and diagnoses.
One advantage of telemedicine in prisons and jails, according to Dr. Mendel, is the ability to provide specialty medical services at facilities located in rural areas where specialists may not be available locally. Additionally, telemedicine can result in a reduction in scheduling delays since medical practitioners don’t have to travel to distant facilities to see prisoner-patients.
And, of course, telemedicine can cut costs – particularly staff-related expenses (including overtime) incurred when prisoners are transported to medical appointments. Further, it can provide an alternative to local providers who order expensive tests and treatment for prisoners. Telemedicine thus “has the potential to become cost effective with relatively little use,” Mendel stated, and is the “only security measure that can pay for itself.”
Based on transportation costs alone, he estimated that around 16 telemedicine sessions per month result in break-even costs. The cost of telemedicine equipment has dropped over time and is currently around $6,600 per video conferencing unit.
Mendel also noted that most prisoners prefer telemedicine, as it means they don’t have to endure being shackled and transported to off-site medical appointments.
Friedmann posed the following questions: “The vast majority of medical consults outside the prison setting are face to face, in-person examinations. If that is the community standard of care, to what extent does telemedicine applied specifically to prisoners represent a deviation from the standard of care? Also, if the emphasis on telemedicine is to cut costs and ensure the system pays for itself, does that emphasis on cost cutting come at the expense of quality of care?”
Mendel responded that since prisoners can refuse telemedicine visits there is no difference in the standard of care; i.e., they can demand in-person medical examinations and consultations. With respect to cost savings, he said “no one does telemedicine to save money” but rather to solve a problem – despite the repeated references to reducing costs during his presentation.
The second NCCHC conference session on telemedicine was presented by Dr. Rebekah Haggard, employed with Corizon, a for-profit prison medical company, who spoke on the topic of leveraging telemedicine to achieve the “Triple Aim.” The Triple Aim is a framework developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that describes an approach to optimizing health system performance which emphasizes 1) better care, 2) better health and 3) better affordability – that is, lower costs.
Haggard noted that most medical mistakes are due to diagnostic errors and said telemedicine can reduce such errors by forcing the practitioner to focus on the patient’s complaints, since the primary interaction – via video – is with the patient. “Listen to the patient,” she said. “They will tell you their diagnosis.”
She argued that telemedicine minimizes cognitive bias and mistakes in diagnoses. Also, practitioners have more time to spend with patients through telemedicine, as they don’t have to factor in travel time to correctional facilities.
In 2012, Corizon conducted more than 20,000 audio-visual medical visits at 150 sites in over 20 states; those visits included consultations and examinations for both medical and mental health care.
Like Mendel, Dr. Haggard repeatedly cited the cost savings that can be achieved through telemedicine. In one state prison system (which she declined to identify when asked), she referenced $2.9 million in reduced staffing costs and overtime by using telemedicine.
Haggard also said there were improved outcomes in terms of cancer death rates and HIV treatment through telemedicine, but did not cite any sources. She acknowledged that prisoners may refuse telemedicine visits – though it was unclear whether prisoners are informed they have the option to decline.
Friedmann asked if she would advocate telemedicine even if the cost was equal to or greater than traditional, in-person medical visits. She said she would, as she felt that telemedicine provided better patient care.
Neither Dr. Haggard nor Dr. Mendel indicated whether they or their families use telemedicine rather than in-person visits for their own medical care.

Organic chemistry is an experimental science. Our understanding of this aspect of chemistry is mainly the consequence of laboratory observation and testing. For this cause, the laboratory is a significant ingredient of a student's tutoring in organic chemistry.
Since of the nature of organic compounds, the organic chemistry laboratory is usually more hazardous than the inorganic chemistry laboratory. Many organic compounds are volatile and flammable. Several can source chemical burns; many are toxic. Various can because lung damage, several can guide to cirrhosis of the liver, and some are carcinogenic (causing cancer). Yet, organic chemists normally live as long as the rest of the population because they contain learned to be careful. Whenever working in an organic laboratory, we must always believe in terms of safety.
Using Common Sense
Most laboratory safety measures are nothing more than common sense. The laboratory is not a place for horseplay. Don't work alone in the laboratory. Never perform unauthorized experiments. Never sniff, inhale, touch or taste organic compounds, and do not pipette them via mouth. Wipe acids and bases. Neutralize residual spilled acid through sodium bicarbonate and spilled base by dilute acetic acid. Don't put hazardous chemicals in the waste crock - the janitor may become injured. Never pour chemicals down the sink - the atmosphere will be injured. Instead, utilize the containers gives for chemical disposal.
Whenever working in the laboratory, bear appropriate clothing. Jeans and a shirt will rolled-up sleeves, plus a rubber lab apron or cloth lab coat, are ideal. Never wear your best clothing -laboratory apparel generally acquires many small holes from acid splatters and might as well develop a distinctive aroma. Loose sleeves can sweep flasks from the laboratory bench, and they present the adjoined danger of easily catching on fire. Long hair should be tied back. Broken glass at times litters the floor of a laboratory; hence, always wear shoes. Sandals are inadequate since they don't protect the feet from spills. Wash your hands regularly, and always wash them before leaving the laboratory, even to go to the rest room. Because of the danger of fires, smoking is prohibited in laboratories.
Since of the danger of chemical contamination as well, food and drink too contain no place in the laboratory. On the 1st day of class, familiarize manually through the locations of the fire extinguishers, fire blanket, eyewash fountain and shower.
Chemicals splashed in the eyes can lead to blindness; hence it is imperative that we bear safety glasses, or better, safety goggles. Wear them at all times, even if we are merely adding notes to your laboratory notebook or washing dishes. You could be an innocent victim of your lab partner's mistake, who might inadvertently splash a corrosive chemical in your direction. In the case of particularly hazardous manipulations, you should wear a full-face shield (similar to a welder's face shield).Your instructor will tell you when this is necessary.
Contact lenses shouldn't be worn, even under safety glasses. The reason for this rule is that contact lenses cannot always be removed rapidly if a chemical gets into your eye. A person administering 1st aid via washing your eye might not even realize that we are wearing contact lenses. In addition, "soft" contact lenses can absorb harmful vapours. If contact lenses are absolutely needed, properly fitted goggles must be worn. As well inform our laboratory instructor and neighbors that we are wearing contact lenses.
Chemicals in the Eyes
If a chemical does get into our eye, flush it with gently flowing water for 15 minutes. Don't try to neutralize an acid or base in the eye. Since of the natural tendency of the eyelids to shut when something is in the eye, they must be held upon during the washing. If there is no eyewash fountain in the laboratory, a piece of rubber tubing attached to a tap is a good substitute. Don't take time to put together a fountain if we have something in our eye, though either splash your eye (held open) with water from the tap immediately or lie down on the floor and have someone pour a gentle stream of water into our eye. Time is vital. The sooner we can wash a chemical out of our eye, the less the harm will be.
After the eye has been flushed, medical treatment is powerfully advised. For any corrosive chemical, these as sodium hydroxide, prompt medical attention is imperative.
Any chemical (whether water-soluble or not) spilled onto the skin should be rinsed off instantly via soap and water. The detergent action of the soap and the mechanical action of washing remove most substances, even insoluble ones. If the chemical is a strong acid or base, clean the splashed area of the skin by lots and lots of cool water. Strong acids on the skin generally cause a painful stinging. Strong bases usually don't cause pain, but they are very harmful to tissue. Always rinse watchfully after using a strong base.
If chemicals are spilled on a large area of the body, wash them off in the safety shower. If the chemicals are corrosive or can be absorbed through the skin, eliminate contaminated clothing so that the skin can be flushed thoroughly. If chemical burns consequence, the victim should seek medical attention.
Minor burns from hot flasks, hot tubing, and the likes are not uncommon occurrences in the laboratory. The only treatment needed for a very minor burn is holding it under cold water for 5 -10 minutes. A painkilling lotion might then be applied. To prevent minor burns, keep a pair of inexpensive loose-fitting cotton gloves in our laboratory locker to utilize whenever we must handle hot beakers, tubing or flasks.
A person through a serious burn, as from burned clothing, is likely to go into shock. He or she should be made to lie down on the floor and kept warm by the fire blanket or through a coat. Then, an ambulance should be termed. Except to extinguish flames or to take away harmful chemicals, don't wash a serious burn and don't apply any ointment. Though, cold compresses on a burned area will help dissipate heat.
Minor cuts from broken glassware are another general occurrence in the laboratory. These cuts should be flushed thoroughly through cold water to remove any chemicals or sliver of glass. A pressure bandage can be utilized to stop any bleeding.
Major cuts and heavy bleeding are a more serious matter. The injured person should lie down and be kept warm in case of shock. A pressure bandage (such as folded, clean dish towel) should be applied over the wound and the injured area elevated slightly, if possible. An ambulance should be termed instantly.
Inhalation of Toxic Substances
A person who has inhaled vapours of an irritating or toxic substance should be taken away immediately to fresh air. If breathing stops, artificial respiration should be administered and an emergency medical vehicle called.
Most fires in the laboratory can be avoided via the employ of common sense. Before lighting a match or burner, check the area for flammable solvents. Solvent fumes are heavier than air and can pass through along a bench top or drainage through in the bench. Such heavy flammable fumes can remain in sinks or waste baskets for days. While it is indeed true that a flammable solvent shouldn't have been discarded in the sink or waste basket, it is for eternity possible that several inconsiderate mates or colleagues contain done so. Hence, don't discard hot matches, even if extinguished, or any other hot material in sinks or waste baskets.
Whenever we utilize a flammable solvent, extinguish all flames in the vicinity beforehand. For eternity cap solvent bottles whenever not actually in utilize. Never boil away flammable solvents from a mixture except in the fume hood. Situate solvent-soaked filter paper in the fume hood to dry before rejecting it in a waste container. Spilled solvent shouldn't be allowed simply to evaporate. If a solvent is spilled, clean it up instantly through paper towels that should be situated in the hood to dry.
Solvents should never be poured into a drainage trough (that is for water only). Since of ecological concerns, solvents should be disposed of only in containers provided for solvent disposal. In general, such disposal containers are placed in the fume hood in the laboratory.
In case of even a small fire, tell our neighbours to relinquish the area and inform the instructor. A fire detained to a flask or beaker can be smothered through a watch glass of large beaker situated over the flaming vessel. (Try not to drop a flaming flask - this will splatter burning liquid and glass over the area). All burners in the vicinity of a fire should be extinguished, and all containers of flammable materials should be eliminated to a safe place in case the fire extends.
For every but the smallest fire, the laboratory should be cleared of people. It is better to say noisily, 'Clear the room', than to scream 'Fire' in a panicky voice. If we hear these shout, don't stand around to see what is happening, but stop whatever we are doing and walk instantaneously and purposefully toward the nearest clear exit.
Many organic solvents float in water; hence water may serve only to extend a chemical fire. Several substances, as sodium metal, explode on contact through water. For such causes, water shouldn't be out to extinguish a laboratory fire; instead, a carbon dioxide or powdered fire extinguisher should be utilized.
If a fire extinguisher is needed, it is best to clear the laboratory and allow the instructor to handle the extinguisher. Even so, you should acquaint yourself with the location, classification and operation of the fire extinguish the first day of class. Inspect the fire extinguishers. Find the sealing wire (indicating that the extinguisher is fully charged) and the pin that is utilized to break this sealing wire whenever the extinguisher is required.
Fire extinguishers usually spray their contents through great force. To avoid blowing flaming liquid and broken glass around the room, aim toward the base and to the side of any burning equipment, not directly toward the fire. Once a fire extinguisher has been employed, it will need recharging before it is again operable. Hence, any employ of a fire extinguisher must be reported to the instructor.
Extinguishing burning clothing
If our clothing catches fire, walk (don't run) to the shower, if it is close via. If the shower isn't near, lie down, roll to extinguish the flames, and call for assist.
A clothing fire might be extinguished via having the person roll in a fire blanket. The rolling motion is vital since fire can still burn under the blanket. Wet towels can be utilized to extinguish burning clothing. A burned person should be treated for shock (kept quiet and warm). Medical consideration should be sought.
Acids and Bases
To prevent acid splatters, always adjoin concentrated acids to water (never add water to acids). Concentrated sulphuric acid (H2SO4) should be added to ice water or crushed ice since of the heat produced via the mixing. Don't pour acids down the drain with no first diluting them (through adding to large amounts of water) and then neutralizing them. Strong bases should as well be diluted and discarding. If we splash an acid or strong base on our skin, wash by plentiful amounts of water, as described in the section on chemical burns. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and glacial acetic acid (CH3COOH) present the added hazard of very irritating vapours. Such 2 acids should be employed only in the fume hood.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is caustic and can eat away living tissues. As a solid (generally pellets), it is deliquescent; a pellet which is dropped and ignored will form a hazardous pool of concentrated NaOH. Pick up spilled pellets while wearing plastic gloves or by using a piece of paper, neutralize them, and then flush the neutralized mixture down the drain by large amounts of water.
Aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH) emits ammonia (NH3) vapours and therefore should be utilized only in the fume hood.
Organic solvents present the double hazard of flammability and toxicity (both short-term and cumulative).
Since of the dangers inherent by every organic solvent, they should always be handled through respect. Solvent vapours shouldn't be inhaled, and solvents should never be tasted or poured on the skin. Wash any splashes on our skin immediately by soap and water. Keep solvent bottles tightly capped. Always observe preventative measures to avoid fires.

The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Diet was born out of the desire to spare children from the unnecessary suffering that Charlie Abrahams endured before achieving seizure freedom with the ketogenic diet. Jim & Nancy Abrahams shared their story in 1994 on Dateline NBC & later through a 1997 television movie called “First Do No Harm”. Across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, Matthew Williams suffered for 6 years with a devastating seizure disorder before becoming practically seizure-free within 2 weeks of starting the diet.
Based on this experience, Matthew’s Friends was founded in 2004 by Emma Williams, Matthew’s mother, with a similar mission as the Charlie Foundation. Despite these dramatic testimonials and dedicated foundations, the diet remained underutilized. Several key breakthroughs came in 2008: The Charlie Foundation had commissioned medical professionals with ketogenic diet experience to collaborate on guidelines for prescribing the diet. This culminated in a consensus guideline publication in Epilepsia, a prestigious international medical journal, authored by internationally recognized leaders in the field.
At the same time, a Class I clinical study was published in Lancet Neurology confirming the diet’s efficacy as a treatment for medically intractable epilepsy; more positive Class I studies followed, cementing the scientific evidence for ketogenic diet use. The use of ketogenic diet therapy spread rapidly worldwide, and with increased use came a broader understanding of its potential benefits for other neurological disorders.
Less restrictive versions of the diet were developed to meet the needs of older children and adults. In 2012 the Charlie Foundation also began educating all people with epilepsy to eliminate sugar, reduce refined carbohydrates, and choose a predominantly whole foods diet. In addition, both foundations have expanded efforts to address other conditions that can benefit from ketogenic therapies including neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and certain forms of cancer.

Conan: The Master of All Circumstances
by James Harting
MY PREVIOUS POST, Robert E. Howard’s story “The Last White Man,” proved very popular. Here is a stray thought or two that I had concerning Howard’s most-famous character, Conan the Barbarian.
Although it was not published until 1967 (31 years after Howard’s death), “The Vale of Lost Women” is a classic Conan story — and it is explicitly racialist. At one point, Livia, the White heroine, berates Conan:
“You care naught that a man of your own color has been foully done to death by these black dogs — that a white woman is their slave!”
After some incidental back and forth, Conan responds:
“You said that I was a barbarian,” he said harshly, “and that is true, Crom be thanked…But I am not such a dog as to leave a white woman in the clutches of a black man…”
Conan goes on to kill Livia’s Black captor, and to then save her from a monstrous supernatural demon, which Conan terms “a devil from the Outer Dark” and whom the primitive Negroes worship as a savage god.
In 1881, Friedrich Nietzsche published a small book that is almost completely unknown and unread today. In archaic German it was entitled Morgenroethe, which is variously translated as Dawn, The Dawn of Day or Daybeak. In it, he comments that of all of their many mythological heroes, the ancients Greeks admired Odysseus the most. This is because he was able to “master all circumstances,” that is, whatever man, nature or the Gods threw at him, Odysseus was always triumphant. (See Dawn, Section 306.)
And so it is with Howard’s Conan: he is a master of all circumstances: he defeats all opponents, natural and supernatural alike. And he always gets the girl. Is there a healthy Aryan man anywhere who would not like to be Conan if he could?

Noise is a blight on people’s lives and is an important consideration in many planning decisions. In opening the way for improvement and intensified use of a motor racing circuit, however, the High Court found that residents’ concerns about disturbance of their peace had been properly weighed in the balance.
Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), the circuit had been in use for more than half a century. It had long been the target of complaints from residents, prompting the local authority to serve abatement notices on the basis that the noise amounted to a statutory nuisance. Under an existing planning consent, motorsport race days at the circuit were subject to maximum decibel limits and restricted to 52 days a year.
A woman living nearby mounted a judicial review challenge to the council’s decision to grant a fresh planning permission, authorising multi-million-pound improvements to the circuit’s facilities. Most controversially, the permission allowed potentially year-round use of the circuit: in addition to the existing 52 motorsport days, use was permitted on 104 days a year for quieter activities such as car testing and driver training. Other uses, including emergency incident training, cycle racing and driving lessons, were permitted on the remaining days of the year.
Upholding the permission, however, the Court found no flaw in a planning officer’s report which recommended approval of the proposals, citing their economic benefits. Noting that conditions attached to the permission would require improved management of the circuit, including a more stringent noise monitoring regime, the officer’s report stated that the development would not exacerbate existing noise impacts or cause additional harm to neighbours’ living conditions.
The Court rejected arguments that the council erred in treating existing noise levels at the circuit as a fall-back position against which to judge the planning application. Adequate reasons were given for the decision and the impact of the development on the AONB was considered in detail. Proper regard was also had to the human right of residents to respect for their homes and family lives.
R on the Application of James v Dover District Council. Case Number: CO/2446/2020

Accounting outsourcing will not only improve business processes at the enterprise, but will also let it work out the most effective strategy for its development. Engagement of an external accountant will allow to set up document flow and optimize all the processes of interaction between departments!
Unlike accounting services provided by individual external specialists, accounting outsourcing is a special form of interaction when an external department is engaged in working business processes, fulfilling the full range of routine daily tasks – from preparation of reports to handling transactions at the international business level.
One can outsource any accounting functions: registration and analytical, operational and supervisory, statistical and management functions.
Benefits of accounting outsourcing
Outsourcing of accounting processes will provide the company with maximum benefits:
- Finance saving – the cost of engagement of external professionals is on average 35-40% cheaper than keeping full-time accountants.
- Time saving – due to outsourcing of several companies, an enterprise can increase its data processing rate by several times.
- Risk insurance – in contrast to an in-house accounting department, it is possible to conclude a professional liability contract with a specialized company, where all the necessary details will be specified.
- Professionalism – there is neither a need to train employees nor a ‘ramp-up’ period for a new employee.
- Experience – a specialized accounting company does bookkeeping for dozens of organizations simultaneously, and therefore it works in the mode of continuous tax audits all the time, gaining experience in adjudication of tax disputes.
Efficient accounting outsourcing!
Accounting record-keeping of the enterprise should be called the most complicated part of the business process. The head of the enterprise shall not only work at strategic planning of the company development, but also delve into instantaneous accounting problems. Frequently, there is simply no time for this. In other cases the head has no such experience and might make gross mistakes while keeping documentation.
Accounting services can be performed both by the regular staff and remotely, when employees will work through applications (for example, 1C) in the territory of their own company. This is particularly actual if the company is small and there is no office at all – for example, many self-employed individuals carry on business at their own home. In any case, such accounting services provide additional savings.
The absence of diseases, maternity leaves and vacations is another advantage of accounting outsourcing. An outsourced company maintains a staff of interchangeable employees and guarantees the delivery of reports within the required time limits as well as absence of errors in the work.
Application of accounting outsourcing provides the company with specialists with a high level of managerial knowledge and skills. Accounting services will be performed by an integral functional organization, which, at the same time, will be organizationally and legally independent. And if you have long wanted to take some of the difficult work away from your accountants or organize an accounting department from scratch, outsourcing of processes will resolve this issue!

By AAA of Western and Central New York
The heat of summer is here, and this weekend is expected to be another hot one. AAA Western and Central New York is reminding motorists to be aware of the dangers of hot cars. Since 1998, 917 children have died from pediatric vehicular heatstroke, including at least 10 deaths already reported this year in the U.S. While an overwhelming majority of these deaths are accidental, such tragedies are often preventable.
Temperatures inside of a car, even on a moderately sunny day, can rise 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. Children are particularly at risk of suffering from heatstroke since their bodies heat up five times faster than adults.
Children and heat — follow these simple tips to make sure no child is left in a vehicle:
√ Never leave a child unattended in a car, even for a minute, even if the windows are tinted or down. The same recommendation applies to pets and the elderly.
√ Parked cars: Always keep doors locked and windows closed, even when the vehicle is in a garage or on a driveway. Make sure keys are safely out of reach so children can’t enter a car to play.
√ Make sure all children leave the vehicle when you reach your destination. Be certain no one is inadvertently left behind.
√ When you first place a child in a car seat in the back seat of a car, also place your cell phone, purse, or important belongings back there to serve as visual reminders that a child is in the back seat as you exit the vehicle.
√ If you see a child alone in a parked car, immediately call 9-1-1 for emergency assistance.
Pets and heat:
√ When it comes to pets and heat, it’s best to leave them at home while running errands on hot days. Dogs can’t sweat like humans, causing them to overheat much faster. Rolling down the window does very little to keep them comfortable.
Cars and heat:
√ Most drivers think battery problems occur primarily in winter, but summer heat can negatively impact your car’s battery even more than the bitter cold of winter. Learn more at www.AAA.com/Battery.
√ Automobile engines work extra hard in the summer, and it is the cooling system’s job to protect the engine from overheating – proper cooling system maintenance is vital to keep the engine cool.
√ Driving on under-inflated tires not only affects the handling and braking of a vehicle, it also can cause tires to overheat and increase the likelihood of a blowout.
√ Cars need fluids during extreme heat, too – drivers should check all vehicle fluids including motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid and brake fluid to ensure they are filled to the appropriate levels.
As upstate New York’s largest member services organization, AAA Western and Central New York provides more than 887,000 members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1900, AAA has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. Visit AAA at www.AAA.com.

Patterns / Lighthouse
I’ve always loved looking for patterns. If you look really closely at something, you are often surprised at finding an image you have never seen before. One really fun image is to look down a spiral stair, like the one in Cabrillo Lighthouse in San Diego (shown above). As described on the national park site,
Climbing out of his boat and onto shore in 1542, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo stepped into history as the first European to set foot on what is now the West Coast of the United States.
I guess I understand that progress is inevitable, but I feel for the suffering the indigenous population has felt. Regardless, there can beauty in technology, and some of my all time favorites include the lenses that were used in lighthouses to guide ships along the coast. Here is an image of the first order Fresnel lens at Cabrillo, and another of the lens at Pigeon Point Lighthouse, closer to home.
Sadly, these lighthouses are no more. The lenses were constructed because the lights themselves were so dim, so it was necessary to focus the light for efficiency. These days, we can just use electrical power to light a small, intense light. And besides that, ships just use GPS anyway, they are no longer guided by light. It is a thing of the past, mystical and wonderful, and we can see if we choose to.

Race: A Theological Account
Faculty Bookwatch Publication
J. Kameron Carter
The Franklin Humanities Institute and Duke University Libraries presented a Faculty Bookwatch panel on J. Kameron Carter's Race: A Theological Account (Oxford UP, 2008) on February 4, 2009. Panelists included Elizabeth Clark (Religious Studies, Duke University), Mary McClintock Fulkerson (Theology, Duke Divinity School), Ken Surin (Literature, Duke University), and Maurice Wallace (English, Duke University).
In Race: A Theological Account, J. Kameron Carter meditates on the multiple legacies implicated in the production of a racialized world and that still mark how we function in it and think about ourselves. These are the legacies of colonialism and empire, political theories of the state, anthropological theories of the human, and philosophy itself, from the eighteenth-century Enlightenment to the present.
Carter's claim is that Christian theology, and the signal transformation it (along with Christianity) underwent, is at the heart of these legacies. In that transformation, Christian anti-Judaism biologized itself so as to racialize itself. As a result, and with the legitimation of Christian theology, Christianity became the cultural property of the West, the religious ground of white supremacy and global hegemony. In short, Christianity became white. The racial imagination is thus a particular kind of theological problem.
Not content only to describe this problem, Carter constructs a way forward for Christian theology. Through engagement with figures as disparate in outlook and as varied across the historical landscape as Immanuel Kant, Frederick Douglass, Jarena Lee, Michel Foucault, Cornel West, Albert Raboteau, Charles Long, James Cone, Irenaeus of Lyons, Gregory of Nyssa, and Maximus the Confessor, Carter reorients the whole of Christian theology, bringing it into the twenty-first century.
Neither a simple reiteration of Black Theology nor another expression of the new theological orthodoxies, this groundbreaking book will be a major contribution to contemporary Christian theology, with ramifications in other areas of the humanities.

alpine primrose, Primula angustifolia
This wonderful alpine grows only in the higher mountains. It looks like it would be a compelling sight in a rock garden. Many have tried, few succeeded. Those that did grew these in containers under glass. Strange to think a plant tough enough to thrive at 12,000 feet would be so persnickety. Mt. Evans National Park, Clear Creek Co CO, 6/18/13. Primrose family, Primulaceae.

Algebra is one of the broad areas of mathematics, along with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.
The basics of algebra cover the simple operation of mathematics like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, involving both constants as well as variables. For example, x+10 = 0. This introduces the important algebraic concept known as equations.
The basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra, while the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra. Elementary algebra is considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as applications such as medicine and economics. Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.
Algebra is critically important because it is often viewed as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics and it's a required course for virtually every postsecondary school program. The first year of algebra is a prerequisite for all higher-level maths: geometry, algebra II, trigonometry and calculus.
Learning algebra helps to develop your critical thinking skills. That includes problem solving, logic, patterns, and reasoning. You need to know algebra for many professions, especially those in science and mathematics.
Just as multiplying two by twelve is faster than counting to 24 or adding two twelve times, algebra helps solve problems more quickly and easily than we could otherwise. Algebra also opens up whole new areas of life problems, such as graphing curves that cannot be solved with only basic maths skills.
Algebra is also necessary to get on top of concepts, statistics and calculus – used by many people in their jobs. For example, a research analyst uses statistics every day. In general, statistics are used in businesses, the media, health and wellness, politics, social sciences and many other fields. Understanding statistics makes us wiser consumers of information and better employees and citizens.
Learning calculus is a must for anyone interested in pursuing a career in science, medicine, computer modelling, or engineering as scientists and engineers use calculus in research and in designing new technology, medical treatments and consumer products.
A student may feel that they are not going into a career needing statistics, but many people change jobs and entire careers many. Possessing a firm knowledge and understanding of algebra will make career-related changes a much easier ride.
Outside careers, algebra is helpful in making day-today financial decisions: insurance plans, mobile phone contracts, mortgages, even simple shopping. Then there is the fact that algebra encourages logical thinking.
The beauty of algebra is that it provides us with a basic language to describe so many types of real-world phenomena from gravity to population growth. There is also beauty when we start with a complex-looking problem and combine and simplify many times until we have one value for each variable. The process is enjoyable, and the result is immensely satisfying.
So, approach algebra with an open mind and look for ways to share its applications and consider algebra as a gateway to exploring the world around us.
Algebra lessons can start from around £12, and some tutors or teachers offer a first trial lesson free.
There are many tutors, teachers, instructors and service providers of varying experience and expertise, therefore the price can vary greatly. You must factor in location, the level of study for each course, your commitment and length of lessons.

I’m wrapping up my book to parents about bullying, and in the last few months it’s been literally insane how many times I’ve turned on the news to see exactly what I’m writing about played out on the screen… last week again with the shooting in Florida.
No, I’m not one of those guys who is putting full blame on “bullying” here. There were a lot of factors contributing to this tragedy… but again… one of the big ones was an ostracized kid ignored by bystanders every day.
Like the 17-year-old who admitted as much to the Miami Herald just a few days ago:
“Someone could have approached a faculty member, a guidance counselor, a teacher and said, ‘This kid gets bullied a lot, someone should do something,’ ” said student Manolo Alvarez, 17, who had history class with Cruz. “I regret definitely not saying anything.”
I can’t express how often I have read this, heard this… seen this with my own eyes researching this book.
Like the story of Alicia Graham.
Sound familiar? Of course not. Even if you studied school shootings you wouldn’t recognize this name… by a few degrees of separation anyway.
Alicia Graham was targeted by a group of bullies at her high school, Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, taunting her frequently on social media. Alicia’s dad printed out a list of the texts and cruel posts and brought them to the school, including a list of her tormentors. “I felt like they kind of waved a gold wand over it,” he said, stating that it was an affluent community. (Sadly, I keep hearing this again and again from parents whose kids were bullied.)
A few months later Alicia was attacked by a girl in the school cafeteria who hit her with a lunch tray and beat her until a teacher pulled the girl away. Alicia suffered a concussion and missed three days of school.
As for the list of tormenters?
A few months later, one of her same tormentors posted something cruel about another kid at the school, a quiet shy kid named Alex Hribal. The next day, Alex took two knives to school, slashing the arms and faces of fellow students and stabbing people in the torso, a total of 21 victims at Franklin Regional High.
Was this one cruel post the cause of the Franklin High School stabbing?
No. In fact, they found a lengthy manifesto in Hribal’s locker blaming other students for being cruel to him and actually praising Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold for their actions at Columbine back in 1999.
Hribal was obviously a very disturbed young man whose actions are horrifying and unconscionable. Klebold, Harris… the whole list… reprehensible. Their actions inexcusable.
But what of the students who ridiculed these kids?
What of the teachers, administration…even the FBI… who were presented with the evidence of danger or warned about the cruel tauntings against these kids before the attacks?
What of the “bystanders” who saw this and now “regret not saying anything.”
Let me speak loudly as a kid who was tormented daily in middle school. If you haven’t had this experience, you have no idea what it does to you mentally. It festers and boils and becomes something terrible.
Let me be clear: bullying is a huge factor in school shootings.
Sure, there are people who will argue against this, claiming that bullying is not a prominent factor in school shootings, or at least only one of many factors (it doesn’t help that “bullying” is becoming a buzzword the media and defense lawyers use prematurely). But bullying is not only one of many factors (like mental illness, and poor education about conflict management), it’s a prominent one. And even if bullying is not the sole cause… it doesn’t give an excuse to why we’d ignore these signs that it doesn’t require an FBI profiler to recognize. Especially when multiple factors are at play.
For example. The journal Pediatrics recently engaged in a fascinating study where they observed the likelihood of a student bringing a weapon to school. In their survey of American high school students, they found over 20 percent reported being a victim of bullying in the last year, and over 4% reported carrying a weapon to school.
But here’s where the study really gets intriguing: when you add addition risk factors into the mix. For example. When victims of bullying experience three additional risk factors, like fighting at school, being threatened or injured at school, and/or skipping school out of fear for their safety, they were far more likely to bring a weapon to school. In fact, the subset of victims of bullying who experienced all three additional adverse experiences had a 46.4% likelihood of carrying weapons to school compared with just 2.5% of nonvictims.
Uh… that’s huge!
Perhaps schools might want to develop some simple checkboxes for these riskfactors?
Perhaps parents need to be a little more proactive about talking with their kids who are “bystanders.”
Is there something you can do to be proactive about preventing bullying… and the trickledown effect?

Santa Maria is a town that lies strategically halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. This makes it an attractive stop over point for travelers. The Santa Maria Inn is a central coastal historical landmark that has provided accommodation for business people, tourists and celebrities for nearly one hundred years. Those celebrities include Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino and Jean Harlow. Other guests that have stayed here, have never left and remain after death. The hotel is reputedly haunted by several spirits and gives enough creeps that some people never want to stay again. One of those people is Elliot Gladstone of the Entwined Podcast and he joins us to talk about the history, hauntings and his experiences at the Santa Maria Inn and something else pretty darn creepy! The Moment in Oddity features little people of America in the past and This Month in History features the overthrow of Pol Pot.

It is a fact that humans need to eat food to continue living. But there’s more to life than survive? Cooking great meal can be even more rewarding than eating good meal. The below article can help you improve your cooking abilities.
Add oil to the pan’s sides when cooking. Adding oil in this way allows the oil to heat before it reaches the food in the center of the pan. This will optimize the flavors in your food in your final dish.
Keep all dried spices in a dark space that is cool and dark. Their flavors suffer when they are exposed to heat, humidity, and light. Ground herbs and spices will retain their flavor for around a year. Whole spices usually keep their flavors for three to five years. Storing your spices in glass containers with a longer shelf-life for your spices.
As you season meat, you should try a cooking a little piece first. Different meats including meatballs and meatloaf need to be seasoned carefully. Therefore, you should never cook the whole cut of meat after seasoning it. Cook a small amount in a pan and taste it first. After trying the piece, you can cook the rest of the batch or adjust the seasonings that are needed.
There is a trick to save your hard work and be able to use it immediately. Mix 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into a small bowl. Stir this solution into the thin sauce until it thickens. The mixture should be added slowly so that it does not make the sauce too thick.
Do you find yourself throwing away molded fruits a lot? You may have wondered whether you should just cut out the part that had mold and use the rest. There is, unfortunately, no good way to save fruit that is half-rotten. The bacteria that causes mold goes deeper than you think, so it’s always best to throw away food with even the smallest of mold spots.
You can use this seasoning on foods other types of food besides meat. Try using it to season roasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled with the seasoning for a tasty snack or mix it in your scrambled eggs. Everyone will wonder about your secret ingredient and what it might be!
When you are grilling burgers, they sometimes lose their shape when they stick to your grill and become hard to remove. Consider brushing the grill with vegetable oil before cooking to prevent food from sticking to the grill.
Ice trays are fabulous for freezing and storing leftover sauce.This makes it easier for you to make a quick meal which you can reheat at a saute pan. The frozen sauce will remain edible even after being in an ice tray.
Chicken broth is a great cooking base for vegetables. Simmering vegetables in the broth will keep them from adhering to the bottom of the pan and also infuse them with rich flavor. Chicken broth costs very little, and can be bought at most any grocery store.
When you are grilling burgers, it can be hard to loosen them without damaging the food. Try brushing a thin coating of vegetable oil on the cooking surface prior to cooking so that food does not stick.
When buying a recipe’s ingredients, read the labels. A lot of ingredients could turn out to be unhealthy. Some things to check for include high levels of sugar or sodium, as both are common contributors to many health problems.
You should always look at the labels when you are buying ingredients for a meal. Many common cooking supplies contain hidden ingredients that may not be very healthy. You want to ensure that is not high in sugar or salt because both can cause major health problems if eaten too much.
This ensures that you have access to fresh fruit year-round. Since many fruits are not in season during certain parts of the year, doing this will allow you to enjoy them anytime.
Always properly measure your cooking oil you use. This will help you reduce how much fat in your foods while cooking. This lets you keep track of the amount of oil you are using.
Try to do preparations for tomorrows meal the night before to save time and make cooking a breeze. Cut up vegetables and make marinades or sauces before going to bed at night. When you decide to cook the following day you’ll have less to do and become less stressed, this lets you focus on your main cooking tasks.
Storing these items in a warm location will lead them to lose their flavor.
Tomatoes can be easily dried. You can do this by cutting ripe tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices, or by cutting Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise. Lay your tomato slices across a cooling rack with the cut-side facing up, and salt them lightly. Use a cookie sheet to hold the rack and set it in the oven at 190 degrees for at least 10 hours. You can then freeze your tomatoes in Ziplock bags. You can also pack dried tomatoes in a jar with some fresh herbs and olive oil. The jar can be stored in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.
If spices and herbs are used regularly in your cooking, keep them somewhere dark and cool in order to keep their fresh flavors. If spices are stored above a stove or other warm area there is a good chance that they will lose their flavor very quickly.
Place unripe fruits in a plastic bag that is perforated right after you buy them. If you put them in a perforated plastic bag, and the gas will stay in, keeping the fruit fresh and tasty.
When you prepare a turkey for Thanksgiving or any other time, don’t ever toss the leftovers. Instead, cut it up, place it into a an airtight container, and put it in the freezer. Frozen, leftover turkey will keep for a few months, allowing you to pull out a container for sandwiches or salads at any time.
Always clean your cooking with utensils that are spotlessly clean. Any leftover food matter missed during washing can ruin whatever you intend to cook. This can be costly because it might allow bacteria to easily spread.
It is necessary for all cooks to organize their cooking supplies. Poorly organized supplies cause confusion and mess. Save time searching by keeping similar items stored together. Try utilizing a spice cabinet to keep all your spices in one spot.
You can make stock yourself.You should always have access to stock when you are cooking other things. Creating your own stock allows you cook.
It is very important to make sure your cooking utensils are clean before you start cooking. Any leftover food post-washing can ruin whatever you plan on cooking next. This can be costly because it might allow for bacteria to spread.
When you barbecue, make sure that you prepare your grill beforehand so it is ready when you are. The charcoal will need to burn about 30 minutes before it is used for cooking. The coals should be at medium heat and covered in ash. This is the perfect temperature for grilling.
Wash your dishes as you use them, when you are cooking. If you have a two-bucket sink, put soapy water on one side and keep the other side for rinsing your dishes. It’s easier to wash cooking utensils right after their use.
Try not to overcook or under cook it. The time recommended on the box or in a recipe is a guide to be used with caution, because many factors, like elevation, can impact the finished product. A tried and true method is to insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If batter sticks to the toothpick when it comes out, more baking is needed; when the toothpick stays clean after insertion, it needs longer to bake.
Avoid overcooking or undercooking a cake. Box times are more of guidelines than the actual time a cake should be baked. This is due to various factors that can make a difference, such as elevation. A tried and true method is to insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done; if batter comes out with it, the cake needs to be baked longer.
Measuring and chopping ingredients before you begin cooking can save you time. It’s often possible to do some preparations even a couple days before you need to cook. There are many cases in which the flavor of the ingredients is actually improved by early preparation. When you become used to preparing your cooking ingredients in advance, you will wonder how you ever managed to cook without this practice.
Fresh herbs and different types of seasonings can add a kick to the traditional dish. Dried herbs aren’t quite as conspicuous in complex dishes. Fresh herbs produce a stronger flavor and can improve the taste of any dish.
When you are cooking for someone for the first time, always stick with a recipe that you are comfortable with. Whether you are preparing a meal for your boss, a new date or your in-laws, your cooking is most impressive when you prepare great dishes you feel very confident with. Impress them by cooking a meal you already know you can prepare well.
Learn a little bit about any vegetables or fruits you haven’t worked with before. You might be surprised how much you can do with that new ways to use the food.
If you are getting ready to cook for a big family get together, it is probably causing you a good amount of stress. Do not leave your preparations to the last minute and expect a miracle. Prepare your ingredients as far in advance as the foods will allow for, making sure to store them properly upon completion. Such things as measuring out the needed ingredients and marinating are things that may be done in advance.
Do your prep work first to save cooking time.You can often prepare your ingredients for upcoming meals a day or two in advance. There are many occasions where longer prep times actually improved by early preparation.
Avoid using metal whisks, spatulas and spoons that can permanently damage your nonstick cookware. Utensils of metal or wood can scratch the coating, reducing its effectiveness and adding potentially dangerous particles to your food. This certainly doesn’t sound appetizing, and it can also be dangerous.
You can use bouillon cubes if you are using. This is a good way to moisten your food you are cooking the necessary amount of moisture while adding another level to the taste profile.
Try to prep for the dinner the evening before on a busy day. Chopping your vegetables in advance or putting together lasagna the night before will save a lot of time.
Always make sure to use silicone or rubber spoons when you are using nonstick cookware. Metal or wooden utensils will scratch the nonstick coating.This is both unappealing and possibly dangerous.
If you are working with foods that have strong odors, such as fish, garlic or onions, remove the smell from your hands by rubbing them on something that is stainless steel, prior to washing them. You can keep your hands free from odors no matter the source, by using stainless steel rubbed onto your hands. Try the side of the sink or a spoon.
This will help you don’t end up in a mad search for an ingredient while your meal is burning. It takes much less time to plan everything out in advance than it does to stop in the midst of preparing a dish.
Shake things up if your family is tired of the same frozen sweet corn on the table every night. Add some coconut flakes to give the dish a little Thai flavored zing.
Shake things up if your family is tired of the same old frozen corn on the table every night. Add coconut flakes to your corn for a very exotic flavor.
Experiment with saffron in your cooking. It will give your recipes a bright, sunny taste which can’t be found in any other herb or spice. Saffron is an old herb that hasn’t lost its appeal. It is incredibly expensive due to its popularity.
Those who enjoy cooking fish dishes should try taking DIY to the next level and do some fishing to get their raw ingredients.
Learn to appreciate sturdy greens that are available in the colder months. Once the first first has occurred, certain winter greens, including broccoli rabe, collards and kale, taste a lot sweeter. Look for those that have a full color and avoid those veggies that are limp or yellow. The greens can be dirty, so be sure to wash them. First, fully submerge each bunch in cold water. After removing the greens, shake them off and rinse thoroughly.
You can fix your pie crust. Overworking pie dough can cause it to develop cracks. To smooth out any crack apply a couple of drops of cold water to the crack and smooth the dough out using your fingers. Ripping or tearing of the top crust can be more difficult to repair, but can be easy to hide by covering the crust in little brushed-on milk or beaten egg white, and then lightly coating with sugar before placing the pie in the oven. This way, your crust will look glazed once it comes out of the oven.
When making mashed potatoes, mix the potatoes using hot, non-boiling water prior to mashing them. This alternative to the addition of cold milk will give your potatoes much airier and airy texture that you desire. Nobody wants to eat mashed potatoes that are lumpy and bland.
Make sure you are using the right type of potato for your recipes. Potatoes are designated into groups: all-purpose, mealy and all-purpose. Russet potatoes are popular mealy potato variety. Waxy potatoes are great for steaming or boiling because they keep their shape is maintained. Waxy varieties include regular white and red potatoes.
You can have as much fun learning to cook as you can have eating the results. Add these tips to your cooking bag of tricks, and keep adding new touches to get even better. Your skills in the kitchen will improve, and people will be clamoring for your culinary gems.

There is a YellowScan solution for each of your projects.
Diverse surveying needs for aerial 3D mapping
that only lightweight UAV LiDAR solutions can meet.
Mapping to help with leveling, planning and infrastructure optimizations or clean up after natural disaster
Our aerial approach can cover a zone faster and deliver more consistent results than ground mapping techniques.
LiDAR technology has proven its efficiency in providing precise aerial surveying. With laser sensors that can be mounted on UAVs and other light aircrafts, we can now generate 3D mapping data.
The technical applications are diverse and steadily increasing. Use cases for fields such as environmental, forestry, mining, civil engineering, archeology and corridor mapping are multiplying and we are only scratching the surface of what these solutions can do.
However, most LiDAR systems are heavy (20 to 100 kg) and can only be operated from a utility plane or helicopter. Due to high operational costs, these kinds of sensors are not cost-effective for small area surveying.
Our LiDAR solutions are less cumbersome and easier to use than other LiDAR technology such as photogrammetry based systems and even works in low-contrast or shadowy situations. Our aerial approach can cover a zone faster with a more homogeneous result than traditional ground mapping techniques using terrestrial or mobile technologies.
The YellowScan image-processing suite can quickly convert raw data into georeferenced point cloud resources and our technical support enables you to get operational. It complements photogrammetry well and/or aerial LiDAR which are recommended for larger projects. For centimetric projects, standard terrestrial survey is recommended.
Our LiDAR systems for drone are ideally suited for :
- Small areas (<10 sq. km or 100 km linear)
- Penetrating vegetation
- Hard-to-access zones
- Data needed in near real-time / frequently / regularly
- 2.5 to 10 cm accuracy range

The ATA International, Inc. World Headquarters, founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1977, is the center for martial arts training world wide. The three story office facility highlights Asian design influences accompanied with Arkansas materials. The facility is designed around the legacy of Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee, the founder, who was raised in South Korea and came to the U.S. in 1962. The museum, which tells the story of martial arts, contains memorabilia from each era as you progress through the space. Starting in pre-1960's and following up through the 90's and today. The museum honors EGM H.U. Lee with a large water feature at the front façade
that symbolizes the transfer of knowledge and training that EGM started and passed on to masters and students over the years. This knowledge-giving water that flows from inside the museum's Eternal Grand Master's pool, to outside and down to the masters' pool and finally down to the students' pool, reveals the responsibility of the masters to be continually pouring knowledge into the students and ever-learning and training in the art of Songahm Taekwondo.
The building is divided into 3 main programmatic elements; the 33,800sf operations office, which is located on 3 floors of the main office tower, the 5,000sf martial arts museum located on the first floor and the 6,500sf training center located at the southern end.

It sounds radical and way out there but it's easy to do and it works. You really can do this. Best of all, it uses muriatic acid which is cheap and something that is free — air.
In a typical pool, pH is maintained at a recommended level of minimum 7.2 and a maximum of 7.8 with the ideal range of 7.4 to 7.6 (per APSP and many health department guidelines). The total alkalinity is maintained at a minimum of 80 ppm to a maximum of 160 ppm, with an ideal range of 100 ppm to 140 ppm.
If the pH and alkalinity are both higher than recommended levels, muriatic acid (HCl 31.4 percent), dry acid (sodium bisulfate, NaHSO4), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) are added or carbon dioxide (CO2) is injected to lower them. However, pH is a logarithmic value and total alkalinity is linear, so they will not be lowered or raised at the same rate.
High and Low Problem
So a service tech, commercial pool operator or pool dealer is faced with lowering either pH or total alkalinity too much or not enough. If enough acid is added to adjust the pH to the recommended range, then the alkalinity will be too high. If enough acid is added to adjust the total alkalinity to the proper level, then the pH will be too low.
When the pH is a little low (about 7.1 or 7.2) and the total alkalinity is near recommended levels, adding soda ash will bring both up to proper levels. However, if pH is low and total alkalinity is OK, there has not been a practical way to raise only the pH.
You can't add a strong acid (muriatic) and then later add a strong base (soda ash) and expect the total alkalinity not to change. These two chemicals exactly cancel each other out, assuming you add amounts to end up at the same pH that you started with. This is the classic "yo-yo" effect, though in practice it's even worse because people often use soda ash to raise the pH, which actually increases the total alkalinity even more, so you end up with a higher total alkalinity than when you started! The only way to lower TA is to physically remove some of the carbonates in the pool, and by "carbonates" I mean the collection of chemical species that are in equilibrium — carbonate ion (CO3-2), bicarbonate ion (HCO3–), carbonic acid (H2CO3) and aqueous (dissolved) carbon dioxide.
In theory, one could intentionally form calcium carbonate by over-saturating the water — significantly raising the pH and then physically removing the precipitate. But doing that can cause scale to form on pool surfaces and in pipes and equipment. And it is not a precipitate that is easily removed. In addition, the high pH can cause metal staining if metals are in the water. If there were a chemical that strongly precipitated carbonate without forming scale, that would be great (similar to the lanthanum based products that precipitate phosphates for algae control), but there isn't any.
Remove the CO2
The best way of removing the carbonates in the water is to aerate the water to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) since the pool is over-saturated in the first place.
Lower Alkalinity and pH With Acid, Then Raise Only pH With Air
Lowering the pH significantly will increase the amount of carbonates that are in the form of carbon dioxide in the water and that will increase the rate of outgassing (carbon dioxide leaving thewater). Aeration will also increase this rate of outgassing. As the carbon dioxide outgases, the pH rises with no change in total alkalinity. You can then add acid to lower both pH and TA with the net effect of lowering only the TA.
In other words, add acid until the alkalinity reaches about 90 to 100 ppm. Then aerate until the pH rises to 7.4 to 7.6.
The main rule to keep in mind is that it takes 25.6 oz. of full-strength muriatic acid (31.45 percent hydrochloric acid) to lower the total alkalinity by 10 ppm in 10,000 gallons. The problem: If one adds enough acid to lower the total alkalinity all at once, the pH can get very low. Now, let's see how low it would actually go in some extreme cases.
For this example, assume there are no borates, the cyanuric acid is 30 ppm and the pH is starting out at 7.8 (if it's at 7.5 and is stable, then the total alkalinity probably doesn't need to be lowered, but usually high total-alkalinity pools are high in pH as well). If one lowers the total alkalinity from 200 ppm to 80 ppm, the pH would drop to 6.1. If one lowered the total alkalinity from 300 ppm to 80 ppm, the pH would drop to 5.8. So you can see that even extreme additions of acid to lower the total alkalinity, at least to 80 ppm, don't get the pH much below 6.0. While such a pH is not good in the long-term, having the pH at that level for a relatively short time — less than a day — is not a disaster. At such a low pH, carbon dioxide will be driven from the water fairly quickly since there is 220 to 440 times more carbon dioxide in the water as the equilibrium amount with the air above the water.
Add the Acid
The key to adding such large quantities of acid to the pool is to avoid overdosing in one place, as that could damage the plaster. Adding the acid slowly over a return flow with the pump running, and then brushing to ensure thorough mixing, will prevent the pH from getting too low in one spot, potentially damaging the plaster. (And obviously, one doesn't want a return fitting pointing up when adding the acid because you don't want it splashing back at you.)
Add the Air
Simply doing things like pointing the returns upwards and running the pump on high to create surface disturbance will aerate the water reasonably well. One could also add an aerator to a standard return.
If there are waterfalls, fountains, spillovers, etc., turning those on will also help. Even better: an air compressor with a head that has many tiny holes. It would produce lots of small bubbles and, when that end is placed in the deep end, the bubbles would spend as much time in the water as possible.
The idea is to increase the air-water surface area as much as possible, for as long as possible.
Below is a video created by Rudy Stankowitz of Aquatic Facility Training & Consultants that demonstrates this process. (Note: This video is sped up 4x; the actual change in pH took about 4 minutes.)
How Long Will It Take?
I don't have anything but relative qualitative estimates based on how far out of equilibrium the carbon dioxide in the water is with respect to the carbon dioxide in the air.
My rough guess is that if the full amount of acid was added and the pH lowered towards the 6.0 "limit," the outgassing would occur fast enough to have the pH rise to 6.5 or so within one to two hours, even with modest aeration from pointed-up returns. Getting from 6.5 to 7.0 could take longer, though still probably within the same day (likely about four to eight hours more). It's getting from 7.0 up to 7.5 that could take longer – more than a day or two, assuming that total alkalinity is near 80 ppm, unless there is significant aeration. Of course, that's what you want since that means the pH will become stable. The down side for a service tech is that raising the pH using this method could take many hours or even a couple of days.
Not for Everyone
Most pool owners would probably not attempt such a "drastic" or "scary" procedure, especially if they asked their pool store about it. (A question to which they would likely hear, "Are you crazy?")
Professional pool service techs, however, could easily use this method. Acid is inexpensive and air is free, plus, there's not much chance of overdoing the pH raising procedure. As the pH gets near 7.5 it takes more and more aeration to make a change. In fact, it is difficult to raise the pH much over 7.5 with aeration in a swimming pool.
It's certainly a heck of a lot better than the "acid column" or "slug" method, which are more likely to result in acid pools that can destroy the pool surface in the area where it is added, especially in a vinyl pool. In fact, the biggest risk to the procedure described above — dropping down to a pH of 6.0 — is to vinyl pools since they are far more sensitive to pH than plaster pools. However, having just one to two hours exposure to a 6.5 pH is not a serious problem in a vinyl pool.
If the total alkalinity drop is limited to increments of 40 ppm, then the pH would not get quite so low. In this case, adding 102 oz. per 10,000 gallons at one time would lower alkalinity by 40 ppm, and the pH would not drop below 6.5. Then one could add air before lowering by another 40 ppm. So lowering alkalinity by more than 80 ppm could be done over multiple days or visits.
Accelerating a Process
Just keep in mind that the above method simply accelerates a natural process that will occur more slowly over time anyway. The total amount of acid needed to lower alkalinity would be the same if some is added every week to lower the pH — over time, the total alkalinity would slowly drop. This procedure simply speeds up the process. You don't save on the amount of acid you need to add, but you save on the frequency of required acid addition. You basically get it over with in a shorter period of time. This assumes that the total alkalinity isn't increasing over time, but that can also happen with evaporation/refill since the fill water usually has some total alkalinity.
If you lower the total alkalinity of the pool water to about 90 to 100 ppm with muriatic acid, then the pH will be too low (usually less than 7.0 and maybe as low as 6.0). However, if you have the total alkalinity at 90 ppm and the pH is low, wait a couple of days and the pH will go back up to about 7.5 on its own without a change in total alkalinity. Carbon dioxide equilibrium will be reached.
Here is what happens:
1. Aeration causes CO2 to outgas.
So aqueous CO2 becomes gas CO2 and leaves the water: CO2 (aq)->CO2 (gas)
2. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) in the water then creates CO2 according to this reaction: H2CO3 ->CO2 + H2O
3. Bicarbonate (HCO3–) in the water creates carbonic acid (H2CO3) according to this: HCO3– + H+->H2CO3
Net result: H+ is consumed and pH goes up — alkalinity does not increase
— pH is a measure of H+ (hydrogen ion) concentration. The less H+, the higher the pH. We just want to make this natural CO2 out gassing and pH rising process go faster.
More Aeration and Turbulence = Faster pH Rise
Things to Do To Make CO2 Outgas Quicker:
1. Turbulence created by return lines aimed up, waterfalls and spillways
2. Using a pressure washer aimed into the water to create turbulence
3. Aeration from a compressor, leaf blower or shop vac and diffuser disks or manifold with holes
4. Aeration using Venturi injectors
5. Using a degasser
Whenever the pH is low and the alkalinity is OK, use air to raise only the pH.

A leaking whole house or under the sink filter can cause irreparable damage. Especially if the whole house filter is located indoors. Leaking under the sink water filter may end up flooding your house. But before you call your plumber, take out your rusty toolbox, and let’s fix it.
How to stop water filter from leaking?
You can fix a leaking water filter by replacing or cleaning some components. First, you need to locate the source of the leak. If it is at the top it might be a faulty O-ring or pressure build-up. You should also inspect the housing for cracks and replace them if needed. Water filter leaks may also be due to faulty installation.
The first step of fixing a leak is identifying the origin. We shall first explore why and how to fix a leaking whole house water filter. We will also explore how to fix under-the-sink filters as well as fridge filters.
Whole-house filters are also known as point of entry filters are an excellent choice for ensuring all your taps have clean and safe drinking water. You can easily locate the source of the leak by inspecting the whole system.
1. Remove the Filter Housing
Most if not all filter leaks originate from the inside. Follow these steps to fix the issue without flooding your house with water.
- Shut off the main water valve
- If your filtration system has a pressure release button, press it to release pressure from the housing.
- Turn on the water tap in your home to drain the water in the pipes.
- Using the wrench provided with the system, unscrew the housing.
Have you successfully removed the sump? Let’s move on
2. Inspect the filter cartridge.
Check to see if the filter cartridge is in good condition. Over time, your filter cartridge will get clogged up especially if your water has a lot of sediments. When this happens the water has nowhere else to go so pressure builds up inside the housing. This may cause water to leak. You can remedy this by replacing the filter cartridge. If left untreated, the filter housing may crack.
3. Inspect the O-rings
The rubber O-rings provide a seal at the point of contact between the canister and the housing cap. The rings are usually lubricated with food-grade silicone grease for a tight seal.
Check to see if the rings are properly installed or dirty. Sediments from the water can also interfere with the seal which will, in turn, lead to leaking. Clean up the O-rings and don’t forget to lubricate with silicone grease. Replace them if broken.
4. Inspect the filter housing
Pressure from the inside or the outside can crack the filter housing. This may cause your water filter to leak. Inspect the housing for any cracks however small both on the inside and the outside. You can use a torchlight. Remember to check if the threads are still intact. If they are worn out, you can use a plumber’s tape.
After inspecting and confirming that all filter components are in good condition, you can re-install the housing and check for leaks. It is worth noting that if you over-tighten or under-tighten the housing, you may experience leakages. If the threads are worn out replace the housing or use plumber’s tape when screwing the housing back.
Turn the water back on. If the filter is still leaking, you can contact the filter’s customer service department or a plumber.
Fixing a Leaking Under Sink Water Filter
Is your under sink water filtration system leaking? Here are some possible reasons
- Faulty O-ring
- Loose Valve
- Incompatible adapter
- Loose housing
- Faulty installation
If you notice leaks coming from a loose connection, you can use a plumber’s tape to tighten the connection with a wrench. In case the leak continues, replace the adapters and fittings. The leaks might also be due to over-tightened housing. Overtightening the housing can crack the housing or damage the O-rings. You should change the housing and O-rings if damaged.
You should check the filter cartridge. When clogged up, water pressure builds up in the housing causing it to leak. Always replace the cartridge when it has outlived its service period. Lastly, inspect the tank for damage. In such a case, you can buy a new tank.
Why is my Samsung Fridge water filter leaking?
Your filter may be leaking because of faulty installation. Additionally, if the fridge is not leveled, you may experience leakages. Always use the right filters when replacing. Here is a more detailed guide on how to locate and replace your fridge filter
Inspecting the water filter
- Turn off the water supply to the fridge
- Locate the filter depending on the model you have
- Remove the water filter and inspect the O-rings on top. Replace if damaged or worn out. Remember to lubricate the rubber rings with food-grade silicone grease before re-installing the filter.
- Make sure the lock indicator on the filter is aligned with the indicator on the cover.
- Turn the water on and check for leaks
Why is my Frigidaire water filter leaking?
Here are some common causes and how you can fix them;
- Frozen Defrost Drain. When the defrost drain freezes, water will fill up the drain trough and start leaking. To remedy this, thaw the ice and flush the drain with hot water.
- Cracked filter housing. In such a case you should replace the housing.
- Faulty water filter installation. Make sure that the filter is fitted properly.
- Water Inlet Valve. The inlet valve supplies water to the dispenser and ice-maker. Check to see if it is loose or cracked.
You can fix leaking filters at home without paying a plumber. You can avoid most leaks by replacing filter components. Cracked filter housings, damaged O-rings, and clogged filter cartridges are some common causes of leakages. All these are components you can replace without specialized training. However, always turn off the main water supply and depressurize your plumbing system before you unscrew the filter housing to avoid a mess.

Right now I bet you have a confusing mix of confidence and uncertainty. You are both totally in control of your future and simultaneously sure that at any moment your worst nightmares could come true.
This is life.
I can’t promise to cure all the ills of your life, however I can give you a few life tips that I have learned from others and attempted to apply myself.
- Surround Yourself With Positive People
Positive people are normally successful people. They find that though not everything is always going to be great, you can always make something good out of a bad situation. People that are positive always get more work done, not because they are better workers but because they start with a better attitude. If you start out defeated you will end up defeated, if you start out knowing that you can overcome whatever obsolesces are you in your way you are far more likely to succeed. However its hard to foster this positive spirit on your own. You must seek out and surround yourself with positive people that you can both learn and grow from. Do you have people in your life that help you succeed or help you fail?
- Learn From Others Mistake
Everyone makes mistakes, that’s part of life. How we handle mistakes is what defines us. No doubt that you will make a number of mistakes like the rest of mankind, however you are likely to make less mistakes by learning from others mishaps. Be kind, don’t burn bridges and always stay open to learn from those around you. Ask yourself, as well as others when appropriate, questions about how mistakes could have been prevented, how things could have been done differently or how teams could have been assembled in a more appropriate manner. Learning from others will not only grow you as a person but teach you to approach situations in a different manner than before.
- Always Give 210%
You have undoubtedly met a number of different kinds of people in your life. Each and every person has a different work ethic. Some work harder on not working than they would ever use working. Others give only what they are asked to give and not an iota more. Still others give 110% and everyone calls them over achievers. I’m asking you to make a new category, the 210% category. Be those that think outside the box, find the solutions to problems that everyone else says can’t be solved, when everyone else has quit you keep going. Be the type of person that does a good job on every project not because of you will be judged by a teacher/boss/leader but because you have set a standard of greatness for yourself. Set the bar high and never stop reaching for it. Give your all and let your work speak for itself.
This of course is a very short list. However I believe taking these three simple pieces of advice too heart and by living them will alter your life dramatically. You will find a horde of people along the way that will tell you to give up and tell you its not worth it. When you hear those words remember one thing. You’re the one that gets to decide what defines you, not others. We will all die one day, what will you leave behind? Start now!
