The images in “Toy Boy” present themselves as analogies. Ana Segovia (Mexico, 1991) likens the process of creating an image to that of creating an identity, where a series of cultural and pictorial signifiers work together to compose a sort of fiction, or representation, of someone or something. Segovia draws form stills of Mexico’s golden age of cinema to question how mass media has influenced notions of identity in a society, particularly those of gender. For Segovia, identity and painting require a communal suspension of disbelieve, like a kid playing with a toy who imbues objects with agency— looking and making are games, childish, at times perverse, and always make believe.

Don’t get discouraged if you are dealing with arthritis and severe joint pain. Even if you are in the late stages of the condition, there are things that you can start doing right now to ease the discomfort, and even prevent further degeneration. You can take control of arthritis right now, starting with the facts and advice you receive in this article. Reduce the stress in your daily life. Stress causes your body to release the neurochemical cortisol, while causes inflammation. Reducing stress reduces your body’s production of these chemicals, which relieves your symptoms.
Tips to consider:
- Make time in your day to do the things you love. Increased stress levels can lead to more arthritis flare-ups. If you find time to do the activities you enjoy, you’ll improve your mood and your energy levels. This kind of effect will lead to lasting improvement for your symptoms.
- Arthritis can sometimes cause rashes on the arthritic areas on your body or on your face. If this is the case, you can buy cover up and other make up to hide these rashes. Many arthritis sufferers think that they should stay away from make up, which is not true.
- Buy products that are specially designed for arthritis sufferers. There is no need to struggle with tasks like opening a jar, buttoning your shirt or turning a doorknob when there are products on the market designed to help you do all of those things. In fact, there are products designed to help arthritis sufferers with just about any task you can think of. Try searching online for arthritis-friendly products or check with any of the leading arthritis organizations for a list of helpful products.
- Don’t let others or yourself get you down. Some tasks will become harder as your condition progresses. When you feel pressure or guilt because you can’t do these things, thing will only deteriorate. Remember that you are not at fault. Your limitations are no reason to feel like less of a person.
- Try heat for fatigue-induced pain. While it is common for this type of pain to be treated with a cold pack, that method may not be the best for an arthritis sufferer. A hot pack will both help relieve your pain and make you feel more energized.
- Use light exercises and stretching to prevent further joint damage and pain from arthritis. light exercise avoids excess strain on the joints and you will find that it creates more limber and flexible joints that are conditioned for healthier activity. With stretching, you are giving yourself more flexibility for common activities you will encounter without causing pain from inflamed joints.
- Always use proper form when you are exercising. Having an improper grip or stance can put massive amounts of stress on your joints, so you should always try to begin exercising at a gym or therapist’s office. These professionals can correct the way you are exercising, and prevent you from causing unnecessary injuries.
- Carry a lighter load. Arthritic shoulders are seen more often than you might believe, especially for women. Toting around a bag that is too heavy can lead to swelling, and pain in the neck and shoulders. If carrying a bag is a must, try and make it as light as possible.
- If you are an arthritis sufferer, you will be constantly on the lookout for new ways to treat your condition. Before you apply a treatment method, rate your pain on a scale from 1 to 10. This will allow you to find out where your pain is as you’re trying new ideas and treatments.
When dealing with arthritis pain you have to protect your joints. Always be thinking about your joints and your joint health and protect them from injury. So be careful; instead of lifting a heavy object, slide it, or use your shoulder to open a door instead of using your hand. Never give up trying to fight the advancement of arthritis. Keep eating well, getting exercise, and taking appropriate supplements and medication. Give some attention to the ideas and advice in this article, and there’s no reason why you can’t see at least some improvement in your condition within a reasonably short period of time. | <urn:uuid:9ff1c289-b669-4817-9de4-0f6ae12f01e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gamingspell.com/how-can-i-help-someone-get-over-arthritis/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.942033 | 855 | 1.882813 | 2 |
Over the past few months, as we have been looking at the supposed evidence for human evolution, we have seen how the evolutionary story of our origins devalues human life by making us little more than animals. On the other hand, we have also seen how the Bible’s account of origins gives great meaning and value to our lives, since it tells us that we are made in the image of our Creator.
The psalmist expresses wonder at God’s view of humans in Psalm 8:3-5, when he writes, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.”
The amazing truth that we learn from the Bible is that God didn’t just create us; He also cares for us deeply, so much so that He entered into His own creation to become “a little lower than the heavenly beings,” to provide a way of salvation for His beloved creatures.
As Paul wrote in Philippians 2:5-8, “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
What makes human beings truly special? In addition to being the only creatures created in God’s image, the only creature that God ever became in order to redeem is…a human being! God didn’t ever take on the flesh of a chimpanzee, a gorilla, “Lucy,” or any other creature; just human flesh!
You see, although humans are truly special creatures, we also have a problem—a huge problem. We are the only creatures that were created with the ability to have fellowship with His Creator, however, that fellowship was forfeited by our ancestor Adam’s rebellion. As Romans 5:12 explains, “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.”
We have all broken God’s commands—we’ve lied, stolen, had hateful thoughts—all of which God has seen and will judge. The penalty for sin is having God’s righteous wrath poured out on us in Hell, but the good news of Christmas is that God has provided us with a substitute. God sent His Son, Jesus, to earth to be born as a man, to live a sinless life, and to die on the Cross as the perfect, spotless sacrifice for sin. We broke God’s law, but Jesus paid our fine. Three days later, He was raised to life again, and now He offers you the forgiveness of all your sins and the gift of eternal life.
How can you have your sins forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life? According to the Bible, you must repent (meaning to turn from your sins) and put your trust in Jesus for salvation. As Jesus explains in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Have you repented and trusted in Jesus as your Savior? If not, make this the year that you discover the true meaning of Christmas and become a member of God’s family!

As BC SPCA Special Provincial Constables enforce the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (PCA Act), they must act in accordance with the legislation. The PCA Act does not permit BC SPCA Special Provincial Constables to search for evidence or remove animals without a warrant.
Many investigations can be conducted without a search warrant. Upon respectful request, animal guardians will usually permit us to view their animals and, if the animals are in distress, guardians often comply with notices provided.
It is only when our Special Provincial Constables are denied access to the animals, or if the guardians are unable or unwilling to comply with notices and relieve the distress of the animals, that it is necessary to obtain a search warrant. In order for a warrant to be granted, there must be reasonable grounds to do so and there must be animals in distress or an offence committed against them.
The only time BC SPCA Special Provincial Constables may remove an animal without a warrant is when the animal is in critical distress and not located within a dwelling house.
PCA Act: Authority to enter without a warrant
14 (1) In this section, “critical distress” means distress in an animal of such a nature that
(a) immediate veterinary treatment cannot prolong the animal’s life,
(b) prolonging the animal’s life would result in the animal suffering unduly, or
(c) immediate veterinary intervention is necessary to prevent the imminent death of the animal.
(2) An authorized agent who believes on reasonable grounds that there is an animal in critical distress in any premises, other than a dwelling house, or in any vehicle, aircraft or vessel, may enter the premises, vehicle, aircraft or vessel without a warrant for the purpose of taking any action authorized by this Act to relieve that critical distress.
Further, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure. If the BC SPCA performed an unreasonable search, it would have serious consequences for the outcome of the case, the animal(s) involved and the Special Provincial Constables performing the search. | <urn:uuid:e2e868f0-3533-4fd9-98ff-4976025ddfe5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://spca.bc.ca/faqs/why-need-warrant/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.924946 | 438 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Sandspit residents will soon get to meet with provincial staff about plans to protect bird habitat along Shingle Bay and Spit Point.
Mark Salzl, authorizations officer for the Haida Gwaii Natural Resource District, says they hope to join a public meeting in Sandspit, likely before the middle of April.
More than 50 people met at the Sandspit Community Hall on March 7 to discuss concerns about a proposed Section 16 map reserve under the B.C. Land Act that would cover most of the foreshore around Sandspit.
Many were concerned it could mean losing beach access for daily activities such as jogging, dog-walking, or seaweed gathering.
According to the Haida Gwaii Natural Resource District, all a Section 16 map reserve does is stop anyone from launching a Crown land application to build or have exclusive use there.
Since the 1970s, Shingle Bay and Spit Point have both been listed under a Notation of Interest because both areas provide critical migration habitat for Pacific brandt and other sea and shore birds.
Any restrictions on public use — rules that would likely take effect during key times of year, such as nesting season — would be publicly discussed and reviewed as part of a further step, creating a Wildlife Management Area.
“Any management plan, if it even gets to that stage, would take into account the comments and concerns as well as the needs of the species,” said Salzl, adding that there is no timeline yet to plan a wildlife management area there, and it depends on a Section 16 reserve even going ahead.
Salzl said the wildlife value of Shingle Bay and Spit Point has been recognized for a long time, recently in the 2015 Haida Gwaii Marine Plan that was co-developed by the province and Council of the Haida Nation.
“The thing is, the Haida Gwaii Marine Plan is not enforceable — it’s a guidance document,” said Salzl.
Other areas that are now being proposed for Section 16 map reserves and possible Wildlife Management Areas include Lina Narrows and the Cub Island salt marshes northwest of Kumdis Island. | <urn:uuid:9924d824-d982-491f-a849-c90e95005803> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.haidagwaiiobserver.com/news/ministry-staff-to-address-shingle-bay-spit-point/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.962532 | 440 | 2.234375 | 2 |
Watch Where You Step
Do you own a garden? A pool? Or do you live adjacent to a lake?
Do you own an outdoor restaurant or harvest plants and fresh fruits and vegetables for a living?
Have you ever felt a little anxious walking around in grass while trying to accomplish simple things around the house?
Why? What are you afraid of stepping on?
We know what you're afraid of... those sneaky Florida snakes.
Don't Let Them Slip Inside
There are 44 species of snakes in the state of Florida, and fortunately only 6 out of the 44 are actually venomous. However, most of us normally don't stop to think which ones carry poison and which ones do not. We tend to just avoid all of them.
However, they're hard to avoid when their habitat is adjacent to our homes or businesses. It's even worse when they cross their boundaries and make their way into our gardens, our pipes, attics, and pools.
So if they happen to slip into your premise, what do you do?
Show Them The Door
Snakes are very misunderstood creatures. 99% of the ones that will likely invade homes are pretty harmless and often try to slither out of sight.
If you see one anywhere in your home, patio or even vehicle, don't be afraid and don't try to harm them. Just call an expert to help them relocate to their proper habitat.
Experts at Phoenix Pest Management & Wildlife Control are extremely skilled and trained in handling these reptiles properly. We will happily assist you with removing any or all snakes from your property into their own natural habitat.
Walk Anywhere Without Worry
Snakes are capable of getting anywhere from our cars, our houses, our businesses, our gardens and our pools.
However, once we assist you in capturing them, releasing them into their rightful habitats, repairing any damage and providing the right prevention plan to keep them from coming back, you'll feel relieved that you can freely walk anywhere without stepping on a snake.
You'll feel more comfortable with your own property and you'll feel better knowing that you, your family and your business are safe from these pesky reptiles. | <urn:uuid:ff07ecac-0b42-4b0d-9f1b-c65a529ea057> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://phoenixpestpros.com/wildlife-removal/snake-removal/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.961017 | 442 | 1.867188 | 2 |
Guinea pigs and chinchillas are both from the rodent family. This means that they share similar characteristics and behavior which characterizes them in that family which is a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws.
For instance, they both need to chew constantly so as to grind down their teeth. Their teeth are constantly growing and so the only way they keep them trim is to grind them down by chewing things. Otherwise, they get both painful for both guinea pigs and chinchillas.
They are also both prey animals so they are always on the lookout for danger. This is what has helped preserve them over the centuries and means they are here today.
Both species also hail from South America from the Andes region.
Both species make great pets and their popularity as such has increased throughout the world. Indeed some owners have both species as pets.
So although they share that characteristics, this is about where it ends in the similarities between these two species.
What are chinchillas like?
Chinchillas very much prefer to be with their own kind. They like their own space and do not share easily with other different species.
They are a social herd though and live in colonies when they are in the wild. But they can be kept on their own as well and are perfectly happy being on their own. They enjoy their independence.
If they have been together since birth and have grown up together then it is good to keep them together.
If you have a chinchilla that is timid and submissive then it is much better to keep them on their own rather than put them with an aggressive chinchilla.
Can guinea pigs and chinchillas live together?
It is far better to keep them in separate enclosures away from each other. | <urn:uuid:66efc36c-9a35-4e80-a5ec-7641d28fba52> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.onlineguineapigcare.com/can-guinea-pigs-and-chinchillas-live-together/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.987999 | 369 | 2.71875 | 3 |
Of perfectly potted egg shape, the graceful rounded body rises from a slanted foot with beveled edge, narrowing at the neck, and with a sharp horizontal rib below the flat rim. The body is a dense, very light-greyish white stoneware and the bottle very simply decorated by the potter with pairs of horizontal lines encircling the vessel, incised while the vessel was slowly turning on the wheel. The piece is covered with a bright, glassy, transparent, pale greenish-glaze that is finely crackled throughout and gives emphasis to the horizontal lines where the glaze has gathered into the narrow incisions. Due to a transmutation during firing, a further decorative effect was produced by a shift in glaze color, a very intense robin’s-egg blue having developed on the lip and the rib below.
Among the journeys that transformed the landscape of Chinese ceramic tradition was one taken by an entourage of techniques and ideas from its stronghold in northern Zhejiang province northward. This was the movement of the Yue tradition from south to north, resulting in the production of what can be called “Northern Celadon.” This term has for many decades been used in the west to refer to the products of the Song period and later at production centers in Honan and Shaanxi, distinguishing them from the southern celadons of Zhejiang and neighboring provinces in the south. However the name is now used also for their precursors dating to the 6th-7th century during the rule of the Northern Qi and Sui dynasties in the north, of which the present vessel is a handsome example. The clay bodies of these early Northern Celadons are very light grey and even greyish white. The glazes are often applied thickly and sometimes, due to their high viscosity, end in large drips along the lower borders of the glaze coating. They are invariably clear, bright, glassy, and shot with fine crackles, and of colors ranging from olive to bluer greens. A highlight of the present ceramic vessel is the glacial-blue color of the rim, contrasting with the icy green glaze covering the majority of the piece. That effect, caused by the presence of phosphorous in the glaze, is observable in other contemporaneous celadons. The form of the present example of early Northern Celadon, with its egg-shaped body and very short neck, is typical of the late 5th early 6th century, the very subtle and attractive form likely based on metal or glassware.
Vessels closely related to the present include one unearthed in Qufuxian, Shandong province, now in the Shandong Provincial Museum and illustrated in Zhongguo taoci quanji, vol. 5: Sui Tang, Shanghai, 2000, pl. 25 and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, published in Oriental Ceramics, The World’s Great Collections, vol. 8 (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), Tokyo, 1980, fig. 48. | <urn:uuid:ccb4c1c5-9bd7-42be-b3ba-c7c441fbddb2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.kaikodo.com/art/northern-celadon-stoneware-bottle/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.963117 | 634 | 2.53125 | 3 |
This concise and clear little guide book is perfect for those who don’t quite understand how it feels to be highly sensitive. This is my first book inspired by my own experiences of being highly sensitive and parenting a highly sensitive child, along with the experiences of all the wonderful people who are members of the closed Facebook group Supporting the Highly Sensitive Child.
If you read this book and find it helpful, I would be so grateful if you could share, comment and review. It really helps to spread the word, because coming to understand highly sensitive children can transform lives.
It’s not easy to be a highly sensitive child.
Nor is it always easy to raise, care for, guide and teach a highly sensitive child. Because the highly sensitive child experiences the world a little differently, and that can be difficult to understand.
This book aims to help you experience the world from the child’s perspective so that you can better understand them and help them to grow and thrive. In this simple, concise guide I distil the reams of information available on the highly sensitive child so that you can get the knowledge you need quickly and easily.
Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: ‘And those who were seen dancing were thought to be crazy by those who could not hear the music.’ The highly sensitive child isn’t crazy. Nor are they slow, or weak, or just ‘not tough enough’. They simply dance to a tune that not everyone can hear. This book helps you hear the music to which the highly sensitive child dances. Once you know the tune exists, and you listen for it carefully, you’ll find it’s beautiful, moving, powerful music.
This is what Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D., said about this book. Elaine is the author of the worldwide bestsellers The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child, and she has pioneered the research into highly sensitive people.
“As the author of this truly brilliant little book, James Williams explains that he is not an academic or a psychologist. I am simply a man who feels very passionately about the subject. He is highly sensitive and so is one of his daughters, and he writes about sensitivity with both simplicity and depth. His sensitivity also shows in his book’s briefness. Caregivers of children need an author to get to the point so they can go get groceries, pick up the kids etc. James’s book can be read in an hour, yet it has charming examples as well as great suggestions and a full, scientifically accurate description of the trait. James is reaching out to all parents, carers and teachers of sensitive children and whether through this book or on his website, he is a wonderful resource.” | <urn:uuid:39d57ff0-5e97-405b-b6b3-17f68b679636> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://familyfeelings.co.uk/books-highly-sensitive-people-child/parents-and-carers/understanding-the-highly-sensitive-child/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967158 | 570 | 1.742188 | 2 |

Advocacy Matters: Fiscal Year 2021 Federal Budget Process Begins

Fiscal Year 2021 Federal Budget Process Begins
The fight over the fiscal year 2021 federal budget has begun. At stake are critical federal programs that impact people with disabilities across all our communities.
The federal process always begins with the introduction of the President’s budget. President Trump published his $4.8 trillion budget proposal on February 10th. The President’s budget is a road map of his administration’s funding priorities to Congress. The House Budget and Appropriations Committees hold hearings to review his priorities and mark up their own legislation to fund the government.
The President’s priorities did not include most people with disabilities. Instead, his FY 2021 is seeking to significantly slash programs that support people with disabilities. The President proposes to:
Cut almost a trillion dollars from Medicaid through per capita caps or block grants to the states. The President also proposed limited Medicaid expansion only to people with the lowest incomes.
Make significant cuts to all Developmental Disabilities Bill of Rights Act programs. These programs include the State Councils on Developmental Disabilities, the Protection and Advocacy Systems (like Disability Rights Pennsylvania), the University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and Projects of National Significance.
Cut 30% from, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP).
Cut 15% from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Included in the proposal is the complete elimination of the Community Developmental Block Grant Program and the National Housing Trust Fund.
Continued efforts to push for work requirements in Medicaid.
#AdvocacyMatters. It’s important that we speak up now and ask Congress to reject the President’s budget. We need to urge Congress to increase the funding for these critical programs, not cut them! You can join us by visiting www.disabilityrightspa.org. You will find a link to our #AdvocacyMatters segment as well as a link to our action page on the budget. There you can send a letter to your member of congress. We’ve made it easy. Just enter your name and address and a letter will be sent on your behalf. If you want, you can change the letter and personalize it with your own budget story.

I have talked before about pressure at work, some of the triggers of stress and the tell-tale signs of too much stress. But what about if you work all the time? Are you a workaholic?
The definition of a workaholic is someone who has an obsession with work. They are now referred to as “work dependents” and are described as such when work has become a crutch that is shoring up other less successful parts of their lives. Raj Persaud in his book, “The Motivated Mind”, recommends the following tactics:
- Plan two fun things a week to look forward to and give yourself a break
- Delegate tasks and manage your own control needs
- Set boundaries about what is achievable at work in a typical 8 hour day
- Remember you don’t have to catch every ball
Personality, stress and work: who do you know who is a Type A Personality?
Does the following description bring anyone to mind?
- Goal directed or pushy, competitive, with an excessive drive and an enhanced sense of urgency.
- Naturally suffers from irritation, hostility and an increased potential for anger.
- Huge frustration with others who are not as fast as them and so get in the way.
Problems arise when an A type Personality works in a high stress environment. A very common occurrence and society rewards them! To assist them lessen their chances of heart attack gentle to moderate exercise is recommended!
Tips for managing stress levels at work:
- List what you can & cannot control. Recognise that the “cannot control list” is not worthy of your worry and energy!
- Prioritise what you can control. Take small steps each day to progress the list and getfeedback early on if you are not sure about your skill level.
- Take time out to get some perspective because when you are in the thick of it you cannot really appreciate what impact it’s having.
- Stop beating yourself up, accept that you cannot change the past but that you canchoose how to act in the future. Record regularly what you have been successful in and review this to keep positive.
- Be realistic about what you can achieve on your own. Asking for help is OK!
- Build in time to relax and sleep.
- Talk to someone at work that you respect or confide in someone outside of work.
- Keep a diary to note down when you are stressed to increase your awareness about yourpersonal triggers.
- Imagine someone else had this problem – what would they do? This gives youperspective.
- Focus on the solution and what action can be taken.
- Make a decision, having weighed up all the options – you usually feel better once it’s stopped whizzing round in your head.
- Remember back to when you have successfully survived other stressful periods in your life and think about what strategies you used then.
- Take time for exercise, sport, meditation, reading what ever is your thing. Singing is great for reducing blood pressure!
- Think through the worst case scenario and put a plan in place to aim to avoid this and have a contingency plan if the worst did happen.
- Adjust your standards if you are a perfectionist and go for 80% not 120%.
- Attend any training & development on time management and stress management. Which of these ideas might work for you or people you work with?

Abstract: Knowledge transfer impacts the performance of any firm and its adaptability to the environment and associated change. Various knowledge management models capture the process of knowledge transfer and also help in explaining the efficacy of the transfer process. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) can help to simulate and predict the knowledge transfer outcomes in the same way as the human brain perceives and interprets information to provide any learning outcome. However ANN has various algorithms each of which is an independent direction. This study discusses the direct application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) framework to execute knowledge transfer using multiple ANN algorithm’s and perform efficacy and ability determination to estimate the appropriateness of the knowledge transfer method. Virtual reality based simulated environment is used as a vehicle to make the knowledge transfer and the ability of subjects of various categories to entrain on warehousing management domains is realized. The ANN applies to prediction of the knowledge level of the trained subjects initially by pre-training the ANN through multiple algorithms and then finding the closeness of the outcomes predicted through this network using multiple algorithms to the real data which is gauged through real examination of the trained subjects. | <urn:uuid:72c52ba8-0f61-4634-a6b4-80c87174aa2c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.scientific-publications.net/en/article/1002109/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.934611 | 224 | 2.078125 | 2 |
Happy Monday, awesome readers!
Keeping in mind that if anything can go wrong, it will, Murphy’s Law itself can also go wrong, right? I mean, it’s Murphy’s Law!
- The moment you decide to follow through on your threat to ground your teenager for the weekend, you will instantly get a call from someone asking you out on a date.
- The one time your teens’ favourite cereal goes on sale you come home with a year’s supply only to find out that they no longer like that cereal.
- The day you brag about how proud you are of your teens will also be the day that you get a call from the school principal.
- The day that you decide to clear out the basement and have a garage sale to get rid of all the “stuff” your teens have outgrown is the day they decide that they can’t live without any of it.
- The afternoon that your teen finally says “yes” to going shopping with you is the day that the planets align so that you run into every single kid from their high school.
- The morning that your teens wake up before noon is that one time that you went dancing the night before and need another 18 hours of sleep.
- Just when you think you finally “speak the same language” as your teens, old words with new meanings come into the house and it’s back to square one. | <urn:uuid:1ab60ce6-fdb3-4529-b63d-aee1aac658a9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.moxie-dude.com/2014/02/24/murphys-laws-for-single-moms-because-teenagers/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.95497 | 305 | 1.75 | 2 |
Four days ago, I was in the middle of a busy day. I usually have my phone's volume turned off when I'm working with students, but for some reason it was on that day. Anyhow, I heard the usual trill of an email coming in, and since my student had taken a bathroom break, decided to check the email. It was from a parent, who's daughter had been doing research on Shakespeare and found my blog post here that I had written last spring!!
I was so excited about this, that in my response to her email I asked if I could share their story here on my page. Thankfully they said yes!
Thank you Sara and ava!
I want to share a heartfelt thank-you to Sara and Ava who reached out to me. When I originally set up the blog portion of my website, my goal was to share what I discovered in hopes that it would at least help one person. Being a very small business, you don't often know if or how your online presence affects others. Now, because of their cheerful email, I know I've helped them and therefore it's all been worthwhile!
Also, Ava has decided to join her school's 6th grade play. So, from me here at Momentum Learning Centre, I wish her the best of luck (or 'break a leg') for the play. Perhaps, once their play is ready, I'll even be able to share an update with you all too!
A few years ago, I listened to this program on CBC radio and recently I found the link to it again!
This is a great episode of Ideas which takes highlights from Footprints, a symposium on Sport & Society. The first two speakers speak about how activity can help children with autism. The first speaker is a psychologist who talks about an innovative classroom setup in Eastern Canada. The second speaker is a young woman with Aspbergers (on the Autism spectrum), a novelist, who recounts how activity helped and still helps her cope in her day to day life.
In the fall of 2010, as I was driving to my students' house, I was listening to The Current on CBC news. The topic of the day was "Special Needs Inclusion". As the students I was working with were both High-functioning Autistic, I was especially interested in sharing it with them. After listening to the program, my two students were very passionate about their feelings about Inclusion in the classroom. I suggested that they write a message to Anna Maria Tremonte. The producer loved their letter so much, the two were interviewed over the phone (a definite learning experience for them), and then featured on the following Letters section. Here is the link to the original episode:

Lies and political slogans have demeaned our climate change politics.
ROSS Garnaut's final report on climate change has three great strengths. It skewers myth after myth spread by those who oppose putting a price on Australia's carbon emissions. It restates his state-of-the-art 2008 blueprint on how the world should share the burden of cutting global emissions in half by 2050.
But perhaps most important of all, he proposes a way to take politics out of Australia's future decisions on climate change by setting up three independent agencies to advise the government on future targets, on future industry assistance measures and to administer the scheme.
After 18 months of sloganeering and lies that have demeaned Australian politics, this offers us a structure for honest, objective decision-making on what is arguably the most important issue of our time.
Advertisement: Story continues below
Garnaut's 2008 report to the Rudd government was a landmark of hardheaded analysis with a vision for the future. At the time, it was attacked from both sides: too realistic for the Greens, too tough for polluting industries, the Coalition, and ultimately Labor.
But gradually the Greens saw its strengths, and Julia Gillard asked Garnaut to revisit the issue. The result is less a report than a book, full of anecdotes, in which the renowned economist and China expert spells out why he became convinced that human activity is changing the climate, and how Australia and the world should tackle it.
It does deliver the blueprint Gillard asked him for (although this is spelt out more clearly in a summary paper issued separately). And, as in 2008, his central advice to the government - and even more, to the Coalition - is that putting a price on carbon is essential if you want to reduce emissions as much as possible, as cheaply as possible.
Why? Because markets work. Put a price on the emissions that are heating up the globe, and you create space for ''lots of people with clever ideas of doing things in ways that reduce emissions''. High-emission production becomes more expensive, but low-emission production becomes relatively cheaper. The investment goes into the latter, and it becomes cheaper still.
A prime example of that innovation has been the extraordinary reach of the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of New South Wales. The cost of solar energy has plunged worldwide thanks to three of the school's graduates who went home to China and set up companies that are now three of the world's four biggest producers of solar cells.
Garnaut sees Australia as ''in the middle of a great struggle'', not only about whether carbon emissions should be taxed, but over whether good policy is to triumph over scaremongering and vested interests. He wants ''the independent centre'' of Australian politics to rise up in support of good policy, and for the principle that Australia should bear its ''fair share'' of the burden of reducing global emissions.
His broad proposals are similar to those he put in 2008. Start with a carbon tax of $20 to $30 a tonne, then, after three years, convert it to an emissions trading scheme in which the market would set the carbon price, and permits could be bought wherever they are cheapest, such as by saving forests in Indonesia or Papua New Guinea.
On the crucial issue of getting global action, his surprising conclusion is that international action is essentially on track. While Copenhagen in 2009 and Cancun in 2010 failed to deliver the binding global agreement we hoped for, they did deliver path-breaking commitments by key countries and a process that ''can be made to work''.
Garnaut devotes two chapters to spelling out why he sees ''concerted unilateral actions'' by all countries as a workable path to turning climate change around. His key points are that:
■ China has pledged to reduce its emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 to a bit over half its 2005 levels. To do so, it is closing its dirtiest power stations, vastly expanding its forests, building nuclear, wind and solar power stations, a national network of very fast trains, and so on.
■ US President Barack Obama has pledged to cut US emissions in 2020 to 17 per cent below 2005 levels. He lost his battle to set a carbon price, but is using regulatory powers to block new coal-fired stations, close the dirtiest old ones and require big gains in vehicle fuel efficiency. And next January, California (Cate Blanchett's other home) will become the 11th US state with emissions trading.
■Cancun and Copenhagen ended with non-binding pledges from all key emitters, and agreement for ongoing international peer reviews of how each country is meeting its targets.
Garnaut sees the global scene as a glass half-full. The Productivity Commission yesterday gave the government a separate report on the same issue, as yet unreleased. It is more sceptical as to whether the pledges will be delivered - if a Republican wins next year's US presidential election, for example, all bets are off.
Sadly, the same is true here. While Labor and the Coalition have pledged to cut Australia's emissions in 2020 to 5 per cent below 2000 levels, officials estimate that on current policies, we will end up 24 per cent above them. Garnaut's report is a cry from the heart to Labor and the Coalition alike: don't let this great country turn its back on the great challenge of our time. | <urn:uuid:67f1ad71-9d56-4640-8eb4-7cc9952de3cc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://climateemergencynews.blogspot.com/2011/05/garnauts-cry-from-heart-for-honesty.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.961569 | 1,115 | 2.296875 | 2 |
Jesus’ next set of commandments to His followers concerns the sins of judging and faultfinding:
Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,” and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye (Matt. 7:1-5).
Although Jesus didn’t directly or indirectly indict the scribes and Pharisees in this passage, they were certainly guilty of the sin under consideration; they found fault with Him!
What exactly did Jesus mean in this warning against judging others?
First, let us consider what He did not mean. He did not mean that we should not be discerning and make fundamental determinations about people’s character by observing their actions. That is quite clear. Directly after this section, Jesus instructed His disciples not to cast their pearls to pigs or give what is holy to dogs (see 7:6). He was obviously speaking figuratively of certain kinds of people, referring to them as pigs and dogs, people who don’t appreciate the value of the holy things, “pearls,” they are being given. They are obviously unsaved people. And obviously, we must judge if people are pigs and dogs if we are to obey this commandment.
Moreover, Jesus shortly told His followers how to judge false teachers, “wolves in sheep’s clothing” (see 7:15), by inspecting their fruit. Clearly, in order to obey Jesus’ instructions we must observe people’s lifestyles and make judgments.
Similarly, Paul told the Corinthian believers:
I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one (1 Cor. 5:11).
To obey this instruction requires that we examine people’s lifestyles and make judgments about them based on what we observe.
The apostle John also told us that we can easily discern who is of God and who is of the devil. By looking at people’s lifestyles, it is obvious who is saved and who is unsaved (see 1 John 3:10).
All of this being so, discerning people’s character by examining their actions and judging if they belong to God or the devil is not the sin of judging against which Christ warned. So what did Jesus mean?
Notice that Jesus was talking about finding small faults, specs, with a brother (note that Jesus uses the word brother three times in this passage). Jesus was not warning us against judging people to be unbelievers by observing their glaring faults, as He will shortly instruct us to do in this very sermon. These are instructions for how Christians should treat Christians. They should not be finding little faults with one another, and this is especially so when they themselves are blind to their own larger faults. In such cases, they are hypocritical. As Jesus once said to a crowd of hypocritical judges, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone” (John 8:7).
The apostle James, whose epistle often parallels the Sermon on the mount, similarly wrote, “Do not complain, brethren, against one another, that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door” (Jas. 5:9). Perhaps this also helps us to understand something of what Jesus was warning against—finding faults with fellow believers and then broadcasting what we’ve found, complaining against one another. This is one of the most prevalent sins in the church, and those who are guilty place themselves in a dangerous position of being judged. When we speak against a fellow believer, pointing out his faults to others, we’re violating the golden rule, because we don’t want others to speak ill of us in our absence.
We may lovingly approach a fellow believer about his or her fault, but only when we can do so without hypocrisy, certain that we are not guilty (or more guilty) of the same sin of the one we confront. It is, however, a complete waste of time to do so with unbeliever, which seems to be subject of the next verse. Jesus said,
Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces (Matt. 7:6).
Similarly, a proverb says, “Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you, Reprove a wise man, and he will love you” (Proverbs 9:8). | <urn:uuid:6f1c4898-6789-4b10-84e2-09165c61f188> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.davidservant.com/books/dmm/dmm_08/31-dont-be-a-fault-finder/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571150.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810070501-20220810100501-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.973318 | 1,086 | 2.40625 | 2 |

Lemons have a long and questionable history. Many countries claim to be its birthplace, including China, Malaysia, Iran, and the Indus Valley. The latter may win given the discovery of a lemon-shaped earring there, dating from 2500BC. In the second century of our era, lemons were grown in Libya and exported to Rome. There is even a picture of lemon in the mosaic at Pompeii. Lemon's popularity grew during the Middle Ages when it was called upon to spice up bland meals. And, in an unusual twist (ha-ha) lemons were used by the ladies in the court of Louis XIV to accent their lips with a touch of rouge.

The European underfloor heating market is segmented by component into electric system which is further segmented into heating cables, heating mats, and sensors & thermostats; and hydronic system which is further segmented into heating pipes, manifolds, sensors & thermostats. Heating cables form the largest component segment in Europe electric underfloor heating market. These cables are generally suitable for multiple floor types and have very little impact on the floor build-up. Heating mats are generally used on the concrete floor and are suitable for both newly-built and renovated buildings. Sensors and thermostats are an essential component which are able to measure the floor surface temperature of a wide area. Heating pipes is the largest as well as fastest-growing component segment in the Europe hydronic underfloor heating market. These pipes are composed of materials such as aluminum and EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol), which act as an oxygen barrier in order to minimize the thermal expansion. Manifolds in hydronic underfloor heating systems function as a central hub which manages the water flow rate and also controls temperature regulation and pressure. They serve as the connection between heating pipes and heat source.
Rapidly Increasing Demand for Energy Efficient Heating Solutions to Drive the Market Growth
European government's initiatives and regulatory requirements which are aimed to reduce the heating load, have significantly contributed towards the adoption of the underfloor heating system in the region. The ability of hydronic underfloor heating systems to heat larger surface areas using unconventional heat sources, including solar collectors and heat pumps, is anticipated to drive the market growth. Underfloor heating systems evenly radiate heat in human-occupied zones. This property of the systems is particularly useful in the heating of the rooms with high ceilings wherein convection heaters cannot be used as the warmth from convection heaters gathers in the upper part of high ceiling rooms instead of human-occupied zones.
However, availability of substitutes and high upfront costs are the key restraining factors anticipated to hamper the market growth of Europe underfloor heating market.

Gold processing machines unveiled – Devices can recover 90% gold
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commissioned 100 mercury-free gold processing machines to promote sustainable mining in the artisanal small-scale mining sector.
The intervention is also meant to do away with the harmful effects of the use of mercury for gold production.
The mercury-free machine consists of a jaw crusher that crushes bigger rocks from 40 millimetres (mm) and above, reducing them to three millimetres; a milling plant which crushes the particles further into fine particles of about 100 microns, and a concentrator or gold catcher (kacha), where the fine gold particles are washed and aggregated.
It has a high gold recovery rate of 90 per cent compared with the other methods that do between 30 per cent and 35 per cent of gold.
With the gold kacha machine, mining processes such as scrubbing, crushing and milling happen at the same time as the concentrator washes the ore body and recovers both fine and coarse gold.
Additionally, the machine has a capacity ranging between 1.5 throughputs per hour (3tph) and 300 throughputs per hour (300tph).
In the artisanal small-scale mining (ASSM) sector, mercury is mixed with gold-containing materials to form a mercury-gold amalgam, which is then heated, and the mercury vapourised to obtain the gold.
The process has been found to be very dangerous as it leads to significant mercury exposure and poses health risks.
At the commissioning in Accra yesterday, President Akufo-Addo stated that the government was procuring 300 more of the equipment, under the National Alternative Employment and Livelihood Programme for use in the various communities where the programme was being implemented.
The President indicated that the goal was to eliminate gradually, but as soon as possible, the use of mercury in small-scale mining and help realise the objectives of the Minamata Convention on Mercury.
Not against mining
“Let me reiterate once again, a clear message. The Akufo-Addo government is not against small-scale mining. On the contrary, the government is in full support of responsible, small-scale mining activities as they provide avenues for Ghanaians to participate in the mining industry and contribute substantially to the development of our gold sector,” he stated.
He explained that what the government abhorred was mining that did not pay heed to the preservation of the environment which threatened the very survival of Ghanaians and the legacy they sought to bequeath future generations.
President Akufo-Addo noted that the government would continue to pursue policies and programmes that would promote responsible and sustainable mining practices and contribute to national development.
He expressed the hope that the beneficiaries of the equipment would put them to good use for their own benefit and that of the country.
President Akufo-Addo said to halt the devastating activities of illegal miners that was destroying water bodies, polluting the environment, among others, the government took drastic measures to halt them and launched a series of programmes intended to provide good economic livelihood options to illegal mining and its associated activities.
He explained that the measures were also to enable those adversely impacted the opportunity to work and support themselves and their families legitimately.
Other programmes rolled out by the government, he noted, included a national Reclamation and Reforestation project to reclaim degraded lands and transform them into economically viable lands while creating job opportunities for the youth, landowners and communities at large.
President Akufo-Addo noted that the government had revamped the Community Mining Scheme to promote responsible, sustainable small-scale mining, a move that would support the Bank of Ghana’s recent policy to purchase gold domestically to shore up its reserves and to contribute to the retention of value of Ghana’s mineral resources in the country.
Gold kacha game-changer
The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, described the gold kacha technology as the revolution for the small-scale mining sector by promoting responsible mining that would protect the environment.
He said the mercury-free equipment was being deployed in compliance with requirements of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, a global agreement on environment and health, adopted in 2013.
The convention, which came into effect on August 16, 2017, recognised the risks of using mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining and calls upon nations to reduce, and where feasible, eliminate mercury use in the sector.
Mr Jinapor said the gold kacha machines would be distributed to actors in the small-scale mining sector in a transparent and fair manner to ensure that pollution of water bodies through the use of mercury was halted.
“We deploy the mercury-free machines with an unflinching resolve to construct a viable and responsible ASSM industry that contributes meaningfully to Ghana’s economy,” the minister said.
Mr Jinapor stressed that the government would continue to roll out interventions that would help to crackdown on illegal mining activities in the country.
“Admittedly, the galamsey menace is not over yet, but we will not rest; we will continue to fight it until we win,” he said.
He indicated that over the past six years, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources had implemented numerous interventions to sanitise the SSM sector.
For his part, the Chief Executive Officer of Commodity Monitor, Stephen Yeboah, called on small-scale miners to embrace the gold kacha technology and stay away from the use of mercury and other chemicals for mining.
He said such chemicals did not only affect those directly involved in mining, but also the larger society.
For instance, Mr Yeboah said, the uncontrolled use and exposure to mercury in artisanal and small-scale mining put miners and their communities at risk of permanent brain damage, seizures, vision and hearing loss, and delayed childhood development.
In an interview at the commissioning of the gold kacha, the CEO of Commodity Monitor stressed that irresponsible mining activities, especially the use of chemicals, threatened the country’s forest resources and natural landscapes.
Mr Yeboah explained that the mercury-free gold mining machine was a major departure from the use of Chanfang machines and mercury for mining where less than 50 per cent of gold was recovered.
He said the gold kacha machines had the capacity to produce between 1.5 to three tonnes of gold ore an hour.
“The mercury-free machine which recovers a minimum of 90 per cent of the gold, helps miners to improve efficiency and mine sustainably because it does not use mercury,” he stated.
Mr Yeboah further said the mercury-free machines ran on a pond system and required minimal water to operate.
“You create a pond system, the water flows into it and you reuse it; so it becomes a very sustainable cycle of water management. This will help the miners to stay away from direct water mining where they depend on water bodies,” he said. | <urn:uuid:62e72b17-c20e-45b8-aea9-b4719a37104e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://commoditymonitor.org/2022/06/06/16220/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.951085 | 1,476 | 2.15625 | 2 |
How did the Republic survive its first 190 years? Source: Westlaw.
Will asks whether originalists should be heartened or troubled by Campbell’s debunking of Justice Scalia’s historical analysis in Printz. However, the majority opinion is not originalist at all. Scalia doesn’t address the historical materials with any rigor; he argues (quite candidly) that the anti-commandeering principle is consistent with the historical record, not that it emerges from the best reading of the historical record. Where does that principle come from? Precedent: “Finally, and most conclusively in the present litigation, we turn to the prior jurisprudence of this Court.” Scalia thinks that New York v. U.S. controls, and the weak foundation-era history provides no basis for overturning it. Would Scalia have switched sides if Campbell’s work had been before him? Hard to know, but I would not advise Congress that it is now free to commandeer.
On The Federalist Papers, given the specific political use for which they were written and published, there is little reason to believe that they represent a general account of the original understanding as it existed in all 13 states. The reason that The Federalist has fetish-value today is simple: it has been cited over and over by the Supreme Court, and so has become a source of constitutional law that supplements the text and other materials.
Source: Westlaw, Supreme Court Compendium (thanks Lee and Bill). N.B.: I’m not distinguishing majority and other opinions. I suspect JM appears in more majority opinions as time passes. (The y variable is the number of cases in which at least one opinion cites JM divided by total number of cases for that year.)
This is the title of a new book edited by Cary Coglianese, Adam M. Finkel , and Christopher Carrigan. The book contains a chapter by me and Jonathan Masur, which builds on, and responds to criticisms of, our earlier article, Regulation, Unemployment, and Cost-Benefit Analysis. In the chapter and article, we argue that when agencies conduct cost-benefit analysis, they should take into account the effects of regulations on job loss.
The book has a broader scope. It focuses also on the larger question on whether regulation kills jobs. The answer, unavoidably, is sometimes. Our view is that even when it does, regulations are justified when the benefits are large enough, and agencies need to make sure this is the case by conducting cost-benefit analysis properly.
Here is my Slate piece criticizing the originalist argument for ruling that President Obama violated the recess appointments clause. A while back I criticized the “the” argument. (Slate used the genius-level headline “Indefinite Articles”). Will Baude co-authored an interesting amicus brief that makes the originalist case for affirming and further argues that if you’re not an originalist, you should defer to the Senate’s right to define what a session is, so either way the president loses.
New paper on SSRN:
The standard model of judicial behavior suggests that judges primarily care about deciding cases in ways that further their political ideologies. But judicial behavior seems much more complex. Politicians who nominate people for judgeships do not typically tout their ideology (except sometimes using vague code words), but they always claim that the nominees will be competent judges. Moreover, it stands to reason that voters would support politicians who appoint competent as well as ideologically compatible judges. We test this hypothesis using a dataset consisting of promotions to the federal circuit courts. We find, using a set of objective measures of judicial performance, that competence seems to matter in promotions in that the least competent judges do not get elevated. But the judges who score the highest on our competence measures also do not get elevated. So, while there is no loser’s reward, there may be something of a winner’s curse, where those with the highest levels of competence hurt their chances of elevation.
Will says that the Supreme Court could have held in favor of Heller on simpler and more intuitive grounds than those laid out in Scalia’s opinion. The purpose of my earlier post was not to argue that a well-reasoned originalist opinion could not be written but to point out that the actual opinions (by Scalia and Stevens) were poorly reasoned and written, and to raise the suggestion that originalism, as practiced by judges, lends itself to bad historical reasoning because judges are not historians but lawyers, and (by necessity) do law-office history rather than real history. Indeed, this very point about the difference between history and law-history is Will’s (“what seems like an intractable historical debate is really solved by a legal or interpretive question about what kind of history matters”). But if Will is right, this disconnects originalism from one of the theoretical reasons for its appeal.
The very reason identified by Michael Rappaport, who says that originalism is appealing because the “idea that a written law should have the meaning that it had at the time of its enactment seems extremely intuitive and part of how we understand legislation and other written enactments.” Exactly: the real understanding, not the understanding that is constructed from legal rules that permit some types of evidence and exclude others–the presumptions, fictions, and tie-breakers that are necessary to facilitate decision-making and enhance the predictability of law. But this is in tension with his statement “the ordinary person is usually an originalist.” Maybe a historical originalist but not a law-office originalist.
But I’m not so sure that the ordinary person is any kind of originalist, because it’s pretty clear that the ordinary person has all kinds of ideas about what his constitutional rights are that cannot be traced to the original understanding—for example, that the national government cannot discriminate on the basis of race, or that government can’t censor artistic expression that offends community standards. In fact, the direction of causation probably goes the other way: people read into history whatever constitutional rights they think they should have now. Our constitutional culture is the residuum of a struggle to reduce the cognitive dissonance between reverence for the founding generation and commitments to modern-day rights and government structure.
Suppose you agree with Madison’s theory that the government should be divided into three branches so that the ambition of each counteracts the ambition of the others. Now a case like Noel Canning arises, in which the executive clashes with the legislature. You ask the Supreme Court to resolve the dispute by enforcing the original understanding of the Constitution, tradition, or whatever other relevant factor under your favorite constitutional theory. Is your prescription consistent with your diagnosis of the problem? Can a (by hypothesis) ambitious judicial branch be expected to resolve a dispute fairly between the other two branches? Wouldn’t it instead resolve the dispute in a manner that maximizes its own power? In which case, why should you bother to argue that it should do otherwise?
These questions are the topic of a new paper I wrote with Adrian Vermeule, just published in the University of Chicago Law Review.
Speaking of originalism, in Slate I criticize originalist arguments made in amicus briefs for the Noel Canning case, which will be argued next Monday. I fear that the Supreme Court’s Noel Canning opinion will be another Heller.
For our first meeting of the originalism seminar tomorrow, we’re reading Heller, the Sunstein/Barnett debate, and the Brest article. Here are some (possibly leading) questions for students to think about ahead of class. If time permits, I will provide my own answers in a later post.
Does this case represent the triumph of originalism because both sides dwell on the original understanding of the Second Amendment or a failure because they don’t agree on what it is? One argument for originalism is that it constrains judicial discretion; well, does it?
Does Scalia or Stevens provide the better account of the meaning of the Second Amendment? One thing to ask yourself is how carefully you think the drafters of the Constitution chose these words, and whether the people who approved the Constitution thought about them as carefully as the Court implies. In this connection, my eye was caught by Scalia’s statement that “the fact that the phrase [‘bear arms’] was commonly used in a particular context does not show that it is limited to that context.” Sensible way to interpret a clause?
Do you think a historian who was conscientiously trying to figure out how people understood the Second Amendment would write the way Scalia and Stevens do?
Justice Scalia says Miller does not control the Court because it was not a thorough examination of the Second Amendment. What if it had been—but had come out the other way, like Stevens’ opinion? Would Scalia have decided Heller differently?
What are the politics of originalism—and the politics of those who criticize originalism? Is originalism “conservative,” or, as Sunstein argues, “radical” (or “fundamentalist”), or neither? Note the disagreements about rhetoric as well as politics and law. Is it unfair to refer to a “Lost Constitution” or a “Constitution in Exile”?
What is their core disagreement about originalism? Notice that Barnett returns again and again to the question of judicial discretion, and Sunstein to the question of good outcomes (do we want to live under a Constitution that permits the government to discriminate on the basis of race and sex?). Do they engage? To what extent does the argument for originalism depend on the argument against its alternatives?
“The interpreter’s understanding of the original understanding may be so indeterminate as to undermine the rationale for originalism” (p. 222). Comment.
What entrenched and/or popular constitutional doctrines does originalism rule out? See p. 224 and refer back to Sunstein and Barnett.
What are the “ends of constitutional government” that a good theory of constitutional interpretation must serve, according to Brest? Do you agree with Brest that those are the ends of constitutional government? And how do they connect up with the Ely/Bickel approach that Brest commends?
This quarter I co-teach a seminar on Originalism and Its Critics with my new colleague, Will Baude. I have long been skeptical of originalism, and my interest in it is more sociological than intellectual. I hope to learn from this seminar why originalism is appealing to so many people (but mainly conservatives), and why it plays such an important role (at least, as a matter of rhetoric) in constitutional politics. If you are interested, here is our syllabus (Originalism and Its Critics syllabus dec. 12). I will post reactions to the articles as I read them, and perhaps Will will post his own reactions at the Volokh Conspiracy where he blogs.
Adam Liptak likes to torment law professors by regularly quoting judges who do not read law review articles. However, a more rigorous test of Liptak’s hypothesis that legal scholarship has no social value is called for, and so below I report some early results from a test that uses event-study methodology familiar from securities class action litigation.
My starting assumption is that if legal scholarship has social value, the publication of any major piece of legal scholarship should be visible in stock market returns. I start with one of the most prominent law books of all–Ronald Dworkin’s Law’s Empire, which was published on January 1, 1986.
Alas, there is no evidence that Law’s Empire had a favorable impact on stock market returns. Thinking that this was perhaps anomalous, I checked Freedom’s Law, which was published on February 27, 1997.
Again, nothing. A possible explanation is that Dworkin was a lefty, and so his scholarship would most likely have a negative impact on the economy. Accordingly, I also checked the stock-market impact of Antonin Scalia’s A Matter of Interpretation.
Another discouraging result. Yet I take some comfort in the thought that I have not fully controlled for endogeneity. Maybe, for example, Dworkin timed the release of his books to coincide with declines in the stock market, when a despairing public would seek refuge in philosophical contemplation. Or maybe stock prices incorporated the impact of Scalia at the time of his birth in 1936, as the Efficient Capital Market Hypothesis implies. I believe that these possibilities should be investigated in future research conducted by others.
The x-axis shows the five years before and after a country ratified the CAT. Year 0 is the year that the country ratified the CAT. For example, year 0 for the United States was 1994, while year 0 for Nicaragua was 2005. The line shows the average torture score for countries during the five years leading up to ratification and the five years following ratification (where 0 refers to frequent torture and 2 refers to no torture). If the average country had reduced torture during this period, then the line would have sloped up.

Bitcoin Trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrency via an exchange. The exchange gives you the tools to select which tools to make use of when making a transaction. If you want to buy a separate Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, you can opt to purchase it through an exchange. The private keys must be secured. You can select the tools you require on the deal ticket. Be aware of the limitations of each exchange. You can choose the right tool for you.
Two types of orders are possible to place on the Bitcoin exchange: market takers and market makers. Market takers place their orders on the market, while market makers fill them. Market takers place their orders on exchanges, while market makers fill orders. When you place an order, your trading platform will look for the lowest-priced sellers and will fulfill your request. Based on your preferences you can purchase three Bitcoins for one price however, you can sell two Bitcoins for a higher price. Limit orders will remain in effect until the price reaches $10,000.
Investors of all levels can reap huge profits from trading in bitcoin. The market is still relatively new, which means it has a high volatility. Margin trading and arbitrage are both options. Arbitrage is simply selling an asset at an amount that is higher in another market than the price you pay in your own. You could earn a profit from the temporary price difference. You can then convert your bitcoin into fiat currency to make gain and build your portfolio. Once you have gained some experience in the cryptocurrency market you can purchase some bitcoins to ride the trend and build a portfolio.
Scalping Bitcoin is a different kind of investment. Scalpers sell their coins right before the buying spree ends. The coin’s value drops dramatically when the buying spree ends. A $200 coin might be worth just $30. To an investor who isn’t knowledgeable, this would be an inefficient use of money. This is how the scalper makes money: he trades his money right before it goes down. While scalping involves clear risks traders can limit enormous losses by dividing up the amount of capital they hold into multiple trades.
You can also trade cryptocurrency using technical indicators. These indicators monitor volatility levels, market sentiment and the price of bitcoin and other currencies. Understanding these factors can help you make smart trading decisions. This will help you minimize your losses and maximize your profits. If you’re unable to decide between the two, you have the option of trading for the more expensive price or selling and purchasing again in the future. That’s how to do it! Once you’ve mastered the technical aspects of Bitcoin trading You can apply them to your trading strategy.
The major distinction between bitcoin trading and forex trading is the price of the currency. While forex currency prices are based on the demand and supply of a country, bitcoins are not. They are not secured by physical assets and don’t have a central authority to regulate. This means that the value of bitcoin is determined by market demand. When there is an excess demand for a currency it’s value will go up. It will decrease if there is less demand. A balance that is positive is the goal.
Leverage and margin leverage and margin make trading Bitcoin simpler than buying it. Depending on the price that you pay for it, having a Bitcoin could be prohibitively expensive. With margin and leverage traders can make trades with less capital, however this also increases their risks. In addition, you could use risk management techniques such as profit-limit order and stop loss orders to help reduce your losses. There are many more advantages for trading Bitcoin. One benefit of cryptocurrency is their capacity to create the kind of wealth that will change your life.
However, a lot of online trading platforms don’t allow Bitcoin ownership as a separate entity. This is permitted in some countries, but not in all. It’s possible to own Bitcoin using Coinbase and then transfer it to an secure wallet. It’s as easy as that! You’ll have instant access to the price and currency of your cryptocurrency, in contrast to many investment strategies that are online. There’s no need to keep up with the latest trends, either.
Another method of trading with bitcoin involves CFDs. CFDs are contracts between you and a broker. You don’t own the bitcoin, but you can still profit from price movements by investing in hedges. If you’re worried about the bitcoin’s price, you can open a short position on it using CFDs. The short position will bring you gains that compensate for any losses you’d have if you owned it.

Dressing up is not about wearing dazzling designers or donning pricey jewelry and cosmetics. Instead, it’s an absolute term that implies that various people have different perspectives on fashion; as a result, governments in some nations have enacted strict restrictions to regulate how people dress in public spaces. Some of these rules aim to rein in people’s excesses and regulate social vices.
Different places in the world have their unique style of dressing and fashion; in most places, how a person is dressed will say a lot about them and their culture. However, a lot of things go to determine how people dress, the climatic condition of a place, the culture, fashion trend, religion, and personal choice all these are factors that determine how a person is dressed,
Meanwhile, different places in the world have some laid down rules and modes of dressing accepted in their community; this article will discuss some of such places with strict laws guiding how people dress in public or what to wear to different occasions.
It is important to know this if you are a traveler or a tourist trying to explore new places, find out about the culture, the dress code, and the laws of the place ahead of your travel to avoid getting yourself into unnecessary trouble because of your dressing style.
A Few Places in the World and Their Peculiar Dress Codes
1. Pants/trousers (North Korea and Sudan)
In these two places, women are prohibited from wearing pants/trousers in public; there is a serious punishment for any woman caught with trousers in these two places as they publicly forbid women from putting on such dresses, in case you plan on going to any of these places as a woman makes sure you do not wear trousers to any public places as their law forbid it.
2. camouflage (Barbados)
This Is another country with stringent laws on certain types of clothing; wearing camo or any military outfit is prohibited, and wearing any type of camouflage without being military personnel is a punishable offense in Barbados, even children at not exempted, so if you’re a fan of camouflage dresses make sure you don’t wear in public places when you visit Barbados.
3. Flip-Flop (Spain)
In case you don’t know or reading it for the first time, you can’t wear flip-flops or any open-toe shoes while driving in Spain, it is a punishable offense, and it comes with a serious penalty, know this if ever have to drive in any of the cities in Spain make sure you have covered shoe on.
4. Heels (Greece)
In Greece, wearing heels to their historic places is not allowed as they believe heels can damage their precious ancient monuments and structures; wearing heels to these locations comes with severe punishment.
5. Loose-fitting dress (France)
men are not allowed to wear loose-fitting dresses in public swimming pools in France; if you love swimming, make sure you get your speedo as it’s the only type of dress allowed to be worn, wearing a loose-fitting dress to the public swimming pool in francs as a man can get you in serious trouble as it is prohibited.
6. Revealing clothes/cross-dressing (Saudi Arabia)
Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to wear any dress type that shows their chin, knee, legs, or head, while men are not allowed to cross-dress; there is zero tolerance for this act, and anyone caught flouting this rule will be made to face severe punishment.
7. Ripped Jean and cycling shorts (Harrods London)
This might be a bit surprising, but adding it to the list might help to save someone from embarrassment; wearing ripped jeans, cycling shorts, or shirts with offensive writing is not allowed in Harrods, so if you have a plan to visit or shop there, make sure your dresses pass all these tests to avoid any trouble.
These are some of the strange dressing codes applicable in different places across the world, there are some other ones not mentioned in this list, but it is important to find out about the dress codes allowed in different, especially if you are the type that travels around a lot, this will go a long way to save you from the unnecessary mess. | <urn:uuid:8ca85a19-259b-4027-9576-86a746578d64> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.eresto.net/travel/strange-dress-codes-around-the-world/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.951774 | 887 | 2.578125 | 3 |

The impact of chronic pain and how psychotherapy can help
The British Pain Society (2008) defines chronic pain as continuous, long-term pain lasting more than 12 weeks or continuing after the expected time of healing from trauma or surgery.
Chronic pain is a major concern in modern medicine, affecting around 30% of people in economically developed countries (Berman et al., 1997). In the UK it accounts for 208 million days off work equating to an annual loss of £18 billion to the economy (Elliot et al., 1999). Data shows that between 15-40% of Europeans experience chronic pain, 20% of which will suffer for more than 20 years (Pain in Europe, 2003). These numbers are surprising when we consider the advances in health care and the increased availability of complementary treatments like acupuncture (In 2005, $27 billion was spent on complementary medicine with chronic pain being one of the most common presenting issues). Patients who have chronic pain see their doctor around five times as often than those who do not. This accounts for almost 5 million GP appointments a year and is the third most common reason for GP visits in the UK. Often GPs cannot identify the cause (Elliot et al., 1999). Medically unexplained symptoms in general make up around 15% to 30% of all primary care consultations (Kirmayer et al., 2004 and Kroenke, 1992). Pain can start in childhood and adolescence, with a tendency to persist in later life (Stahl et al., 2008).
The negative impact of musculoskeletal conditions on quality of life is higher than cardiovascular conditions, cancer, endocrine conditions, visual impairments, and chronic respiratory diseases (Sprangers et al, 2000). Chronic pain is hard to treat because a precise medical explanation for it is often lacking (Fast et al, 1988 and Kirmayer et al, 2004), and diagnoses are unclear (Deyo et al, 2001). Even high-resolution medical imaging technologies, which can detect structural aberrations, and electrodiagnostic techniques (Date et al, 1996) often fail to provide an accurate diagnosis for pain as they poorly correlate.
Results for chronic pain are often disappointing. One study showed that 90% of patients in primary care stopped treatment within three months and still had symptoms 1-year later (Croft et al., 1998). The 2003 report ‘Pain in Europe’ states that two-thirds of those surveyed in the UK reported inadequate pain control. A 2-year cohort study in six countries showed that few of the often practised medical interventions in chronic low back pain had any positive results (Hansson et al, 2000). The same applies to surgical interventions; Fritzell et al (2001) showed that only one-sixth of patients had an excellent result from lumbar fusion to treat chronic low back pain.
Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat?
One difficulty is that chronic pain is not easily characterised as either physical or psychological. This is because it often lacks a precise anatomical location (Goode, 1992). Pain is felt in the body and not in the mind. Its bodily impact is unquestionable and yet it remains invisible even to modern medical imaging and tactile physical examination. Despite its excruciating and debilitating nature, without an objective anatomical location, diagnosis becomes challenging to establish (Honskasalo, 1998). Research indicates the medical approach is not enough and chronic pain does not fall into a purely medical domain. Despite an ever-increasing understanding of physiology pain remains one of the most poorly understood phenomena in medicine (Branco et al, 2004). Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia remain in the “undefined or unexplained disorders” category and are thus still challenging for modern medicine (Steihaug, 2005).
Does psychology have a role in pain?
Many biomedical researchers believe that psychology can interact with the body and cause painful physical symptoms. A study of 5700 people in their twenties found that experiencing psychological stress made them 2.5 times more likely to have back pain in their thirties compared with unstressed individuals (Power et al., 2001). Another study showed that lack of stressful work predicted absence of back disorders and that back disorders strongly correlate with lower job satisfaction (Reigo et al., 2001), monotonous tasks, unsatisfactory work relations, high work demands, and stress (Linton, 2001). In 380BC, Plato declared meaningful occupation and purpose as essential to good health and their absence as causes of illness. He referred to excessive focus on the physical body as the greatest hindrance; ‘He is always on the lookout for some headache or dizziness and this puts a complete block on excellence being practiced in this way’.
Can psychotherapy help with chronic pain?
Pain is a subjective experience (IASP, 2001) and bringing biomedicine and psychology together might better understand the complex processes involved (Chapman & Nakamura, 1999). In chronic pain, symptoms usually do not fit a biomedical model of any disease resulting in patients being viewed as malingering, histrionic, hysterical (Kirmayer 2014). The stigma of psychological influences on physical symptoms makes many patients resistant to considering factors beyond the physiological (Bullington, 2013). Patients can view psychological involvement in their symptoms as derogatory because of the stigma involved (Bullington, 2013). Lack of understanding on psychogenic causation (Kirmayer, 2004) can lead to psychological factors being communicated ineffectively to patients and not addressing their concerns (Bullington, 2013). Psychotherapy can help by validating the symptoms and the meaning of the patient’s suffering. This helps patients to acknowledge stress, social conditions, and emotions have an effect on their physical condition, which can open the door to psychological strategies to address the psychosocial factors that contribute to chronicity and disability (Bullington, 2013).

College baseball is baseball that is played on the intercollegiate level at institutions of higher education. Compared to football and basketball, college competition in the United States plays a less significant contribution to cultivating professional players, as the minor leagues primarily fulfill that role. Unlike football and basketball, players do not have to go to college to turn professional. However, if they enroll at a four-year college, they must complete three years to regain eligibility, unless they reach age 21 before starting their third year of attendance. Players who enroll at junior colleges (i.e., two-year institutions) regain eligibility after one year at that level, with one notable example of such a player being Bryce Harper. There are over 280 NCAA Division I teams alone throughout the country (College). All of these teams face the same rules, obstacles, restrictions, and more throughout the year.
As with other U.S. intercollegiate sports, most college baseball is played under the auspices of the NCAA or the NAIA. College and university baseball teams that are club teams are organized under the National Club Baseball Association. The NCAA writes the rules of play, while each sanctioning body supervises season-ending tournaments. The final rounds of the NCAA tournaments are known as the College World Series; one is held on each of the three levels of competition sanctioned by the NCAA. The College World Series for Division I takes place in Omaha, Nebraska in June, following the regular season. The playoff bracket for Division I consists of 64 teams, with four teams playing at each of 16 regional sites (in a double-elimination format). The 16 winners advance to the Super Regionals at eight sites, played head-to-head in a best-of-three series. The eight winners then advance to the College World Series, a double elimination tournament (actually two separate four-team brackets) to determine the two national finalists. The finalists play a best-of-three series to determine the Division I national champion. In 2011, the winner of the College World Series was the South Carolina Gamecocks.
The first known intercollegiate baseball game took place in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on July 1, 1859, between squads representing Amherst College and Williams College. Amherst won, 73–32. This game was one of the last played under an earlier version of the game known as "Massachusetts rules", which prevailed in New England until the "Knickerbocker Rules" (or "New York Rules") developed in the 1840s gradually became accepted. The first ever nine-man team college baseball game under the Knickerbocker Rules still in use today was played in New York on November 3, 1859 between the Fordham Rose Hill Baseball Club of St. John's College (now Fordham University) against (the now defunct) St. Francis Xavier College.
College baseball has grown phenomenally in popularity since the 1980s. Traditionally, it has been played in the early part of the year, with a relatively short schedule and during a time when cold (and/or rainy) weather hinders the ability for games to be played, particularly in the northern and midwestern parts of the U.S. These and other factors have historically led colleges and universities across the nation to effectively consider baseball a minor sport, both in scholarships as well as money and other points of emphasis. During the 1980s, coaches and athletic directors in warm-weather regions of the nation began to recognize the unrealized potential appeal of the sport. These coaches went out and aggressively recruited the sport to potential athletes, as well as made various upgrades to their programs; such as bigger and better stadiums, more money for staff and support salaries, and promotions. As these efforts resulted in better players and overall programs, more television and print media coverage began to emerge. The ESPN family of networks greatly increased television coverage of the NCAA playoffs and the College World Series.
Soon, in many warm-weather regions, baseball came to be considered a major sport, approaching the level of football and basketball. And even non-warm weather schools started to recognize baseball's potential and began to put considerably more emphasis on it. Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Oregon State are three notable examples of cold (or rainy) weather schools with very successful programs. The first two made the College World Series when warm-weather schools placed major emphasis on baseball as well as had the advantage of playing earlier and more games because of favorable climates. Oregon State won back-to-back national championships in 2006 & 2007; at that time, archrival Oregon had been without baseball for a quarter-century, having dropped its program in 1981. Many credit the Beavers' success as being a primary factor in UO's later decision to revive baseball in 2009. Minnesota has taken advantage of the use of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome to play the majority of their games, including hosting a prestigious preseason tournament, and with the 2010 departure of the MLB Minnesota Twins for the new Target Field, hope to use the Metrodome for future Big Ten tournaments and bids on the NCAA tournament. Along with that, many smaller conferences (not in Division I) will play games at the Metrodome during February in order to keep up with schools in warm-weather locations. For 2008 and succeeding seasons, the NCAA has mandated the first ever start date for Division I baseball. This day is exactly thirteen weeks before the selection of the NCAA tournament field, which takes place on Memorial Day. For 2010, this date was March 1. Many feel this date will give schools outside of warm-weather areas more parity in college baseball and help continue to make the sport a major one nationally.
The rules of college baseball are similar to the Official Baseball Rules. Exceptions include the following:
Though a wood bat is legal in NCAA competition, players overwhelmingly prefer and use a metal bat. The metal bat was implemented into college baseball in 1975. Use of a metal bat is somewhat controversial amongst baseball aficionados. Supporters of an aluminum or composite bat note how it can increase offensive performance, as the speed of a ball off a metal bat is generally faster than off a wood bat. Those against metal, and for wood, would argue how a metal bat is not safe to use, and that a metal bat doesn't prepare players for the next level, as pro baseball uses a wood bat exclusively. In the 2011 season the NCAA changed the requirements for a metal bat, reducing the maximum allowed exit speed in a way that is said to produce a feeling more like a wood bat. As a result in 2011 there were fewer overall "long" drives or home runs than in the past.
A college player at a four year school is eligible for the draft after they are done with at least three years of school. They must either compete up to their junior year or be twenty one years of age to enter the First-Year Players Draft. A player is not able to enter the draft before this unless they attend a junior college, in which case, they are eligible to leave whenever they choose to do so. There are fifty rounds in the Rule IV Major League Draft for eligible college and high school players to be selected. Despite MLB's draft being considerably longer than that of the NFL or NBA, only about 9.1% of all NCAA senior baseball players are drafted by an MLB team.
One of the biggest controversies with the draft and these amateur athletes is the use of agents. There have been many cases of college athletes consulting or hiring an agent prematurely in direct violation of NCAA rules. The NCAA came up with the “no agent rule” as a result of this for what they say was to benefit their amateur athletes. This law stated that a college player is unable to hire an agent or even a lawyer in order to assist them in negotiating a contract with a professional team. The rule states that “[a]n individual shall be ineligible for participation in an intercollegiate sport if he or she has agreed (orally or in writing) to be represented by an agent for the purpose of marketing his or her athletics ability or reputation in that sport”. Representation of an agent is considered to be any direct contact with the professional team during the contract negotiations. This contact can be made many different ways, whether through direct conversation, via mail or through the telephone. This rule is strongly enforced by the NCAA and has harsh consequences if broken.
The recruitment process is similar to that of the Major League Draft in that a high school athlete is taking the next step in his career. The NCAA places restrictions on the coaches that are trying to convince athletes to come play for them and attend their university. College Baseball programs are only allowed to offer a limited number of scholarships each year, so the process of earning a scholarship is quite competitive. Baseball is classified by the NCAA as an "equivalency" sport, meaning that limits on athletic financial aid are set to the equivalent of a fixed number of full scholarships. Division I schools are allowed the equivalent of 11.7 full scholarships; Division II schools, only 9.0. Schools generally choose to award multiple partial scholarships rather than exclusively full scholarships. In Division I, the NCAA also limits the total number of players receiving baseball-related financial aid to 27, and also requires that each of these players receive athletic aid equal to at least 25% of a full scholarship.
Before September 1 of a potential college player’s 11th grade year, it is illegal for a college program to give any kind of recruiting materials to the prospect. A phone call is not even permitted to the prospect until July 1 of his 11th grade year. Once the player is committed to the school of his choice, he must sign his letter of intent during one of several signing periods. The early signing period for a Division I baseball player is between November 8 and 15; the late signing period dates for these players are April 11 to August 1.
The substance policies for college baseball are very strict and set by the NCAA. There is a set list of the forbidden substances a college baseball player is allowed to put in their body, and there is a very strict punishment for those that defy it, whether it be intentional or unintentional. There is a very long list of these substances, including alcohol, marijuana, anabolic steroids, heroin to name a few of many. These substances fit into categories such as stimulants, anabolic steroids, diuretics, street drugs, hormones, anti-estrogens, and more. Failure to pass scheduled or random drug tests can result in ineligibility.

What is lean body mass?
Lean Body Mass is everything except body fat. Your total weight minus weight of fat = Lean Body Mass. You can read a more in-depth explanation here.
Why track it?
For most people their goal is to lose body fat, but if you are looking to gain muscle then Lean Body Mass is the metric you should be tracking. Generally speaking, if a person is losing lean body mass as a percentage, they are likely gaining body fat, or if they are losing lean body mass in absolute terms, they could be losing muscle.
How is it measured?
Progress can automatically calculate your Lean Body Mass if you’re using the Pro version and are tracking your body fat percentage and have set your height. Just enable it under ‘What I Track’ on the ‘Me’ tab and you’re good to go! | <urn:uuid:29b1c4ef-8336-4364-a7ed-2716c26ab652> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://progress.helpscoutdocs.com/article/158-what-is-lean-body-mass | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.924648 | 181 | 1.875 | 2 |
Population To Grow To 142 Mln - 143 Mln By 2015, 145 Mln By 2025 - Medvedev
MOSCOW. Sept 10 (Interfax) - Slowing down the rate of population decline and subsequently ensuring its growth ranks among the country's most important tasks, First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has said.
"In the coming three years, we must slow down the rate of population decline, ensure a stabilization at 142 million - 143 million by 2015, and create conditions for population growth to 145 million by 2025, Medvedev said at the opening of a World Social Security Forum on Monday. Russia has good capabilities to solve this problem, he said.
The country is rising to a new and higher level of socioeconomic development, and the Russian economy has overcome the period of depression, he added.
"GDP has been growing at an annual pace of 6%-7%. Citizens' real incomes have increased by 10%-12%, and 3 million jobs have been created. The number of poor citizens has nearly halved," Medvedev said.
Medvedev told the forum that the demographic problem is being tackled as the implementation of the main national projects is continuing in health care, education, agriculture and housing construction.
The World Social Security Forum is being held in Moscow in the framework of the 29th General Assembly of the International Social Security Association (ISSA), which is marking 80 years this year.
"ISSA has evolved into a large and authoritative organization that has proven its efficiency," President Vladimir Putin said in a message of greetings to the participants read out by Medvedev. | <urn:uuid:1c008e58-8005-437d-ad8c-2dd68726bcca> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.russialist.org/archives/2007-193-3.php | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.959262 | 329 | 1.59375 | 2 |
How long does it take for the paint to get dry?
Generally, the most popular paint products are water-based, and at a regular room temperature, they can dry within 30 minutes. However, drying time is different from setting times which means within 30 minutes, walls and doors can be touched but paint does not set or cure completely until two to six hours later. They then can be touched, or door handles can be attached and pictures can be hung on the walls.
How many coats do you need if you go from a darker colour to a lighter colour?
In this case, all dark colours must be coated with one primer as a base coat and then applied with two coats of the finish colour.
Should I paint before or after the hardwood floor and fixtures installations?
This depends on the schedule of the deadlines between the property owner and all other trades people. For example, painting can be done after all the other construction projects are completed. In this case, the hardwood floor and fixtures must be covered with plastic sheets and/or floor covering paper. This requires an adequate amount of time to complete, so it must be factored into the prep time. Another option is that all painting projects be completed before floor and fixture installations.
Can I paint my house with spray paint?
Spray painting can be used for door and trim finishes for the interior and exterior of residential homes while the place is vacant. Spray paint can also be used for commercial metal duct ceilings and other painting purposes in commercial projects.
Can people or pets be around while painting my house?
It is recommended to use paint products with low or zero VOC, however, it is a good idea to wait for the paint to dry and then return to your room. Note that it is not safe for people with underlying medical conditions, kids, and pets to be around fresh paint, therefore make sure to keep the doors and the windows open at all times until the strong odour diminishes.
Can I have furniture in the room while painting?
It is recommended to put away all important and meaningful items before the painting process. However, most furniture such as tables and couches can be covered with plastic sheets and protected from dust and paint. | <urn:uuid:97c52421-d065-4c78-8389-718341cb0964> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.adeptpaintingservices.ca/contact-us/faq/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.954802 | 452 | 1.515625 | 2 |
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Hundreds of tons of frozen mutton, lamb and beef from New Zealand have been stranded on Chinese docks after China halted imports from the country due to a certification dispute.
China is New Zealand's largest export market and its largest consumer of sheep meat.
China has blocked all New Zealand beef and sheep meat that has arrived there in the past two or three weeks, said Dan Coup, trade and economic manager for the Meat Industry Association of New Zealand.
The meat sitting in freezers at the docks is worth tens of millions of dollars. Because it is frozen, it will last months, Coup said.
Exporters changed the branding on their certificates in March after New Zealand government departments merged. Because the meat is transported in ships, he said, it would have taken several weeks before products with the new branding arrived.
No other country has halted imports over the matter, New Zealand authorites said.
There is no health or safety issue and officials are working to resolve the issue, Coup said.
But if the dispute drags on, he said, there's a risk that Chinese buyers will look elsewhere for meat and that exporters will get hit with big storage fees.
New Zealand government figures show meat exports to China increased significantly in the months before the dispute began.
In the first quarter of 2013, New Zealand exported sheep meat worth 204 million New Zealand dollars ($165 million), beef worth NZ$73 million, and edible offal worth NZ$5 million to China. Over the past year, China consumed NZ$600 million of meat. If the pace of the latest quarter continued, the market this year would almost double to NZ$1.1 billion.
"We value our close working relationship with China and remain confident that this issue can be resolved," said Nathan Guy, the Minister for Primary Industries, in a release. | <urn:uuid:0ca41f07-446d-49a3-a781-0b0fab22a58f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.foxnews.com/world/hundreds-of-tons-of-new-zealand-meat-stranded-at-chinese-ports-over-certification-dispute | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.957504 | 379 | 1.8125 | 2 |
“What proposals and partnerships should libraries and the internet industry initiate to enable opportunity for everybody?”
This question was posed to three panelists at a policy hackathon, cohosted by ALA’s Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and the Internet Association on November 17 at Google’s Washington, D.C., office.
Chaired by ALA President Julie B. Todaro and with welcome remarks by Google’s Head of Global Industry Relations Carley Graham Garcia, the session included the Internet Association’s Chief Economist Christopher Hooton, ALA President-Elect James Neal, and Yelp’s Director of Government Relations Laurent Crenshaw. Ali Breland, a tech reporter for The Hill, moderated the conversation.
Panelists discussed the internet’s increasing role as a catalyst for economic growth, how it affects the future workforce, and what libraries and other institutions are doing to support individuals and communities as its influence and reach continue to grow.
Among the conversations taking place nationally include striking a reasonable balance between information policy (such as access to high-speed broadband and copyright), improving diversity in the technology workforce, and upskilling so that fewer workers are left behind.
“Libraries need to look beyond the programs and the funding,” Neal said. “We must forge radical new partnerships with the First Amendment, civil rights, and technology communities to advance our information policy interests and our commitment to freedom, diversity, and social justice.”
While the tech industry—and the internet specifically—has spurred economic growth, the opportunity generated has been uneven. People in certain parts of the country, particularly in rural areas, have not adequately benefited for several possible reasons: The technology available is insufficient for business growth, tech jobs are not coming to their communities, or they don’t have the necessary digital skills.
Libraries, of course, have been ahead of the curve, promoting digital literacy and aiding economic growth by offering tools for job seekers, access to market data, office space for start-ups and entrepreneurs, coding workshops for kids, and free Wi-Fi for everyone, among other services and resources.
After the panel discussion, audience members were invited to make a two-minute pitch in response to the original question: What proposals and partnerships should libraries and the internet industry initiate to enable opportunity for everybody?
The panelists judged the dozen or so proposals, including these two:
- Libraries and schools ought to use M-Lab and other measures of internet performance data to gain information on local internet quality, which could help them work proactively with their service providers and communities to ensure they have sufficient broadband and are maximizing E-Rate support.
- Libraries should work with internet service providers to create a data donation and generation bank, where library patrons with extra data can share it, and those who need more data can earn it through community service at their library.
Such creative thinking about future library collaborations can assist with expanding access to information, technology, and resources to help people in our communities get ahead. And national partners can be reminded of the value and trust libraries bring to communities.
Marc Gartler, supervisor at Madison (Wis.) Public Library and chair of OITP’s advisory committee, attended the gathering and said, “As a result of events like these, there are an increasing number of people and organizations in Washington that understand the value of America’s libraries.”
As ALA’s Libraries Transform campaign states, “Today’s libraries are not just about what we have for people, but what we do for and with people.” | <urn:uuid:a80e5972-34b4-4b4f-9c2c-c613f087b3dc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/partnering-with-tech-policy-hackathon/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.93631 | 754 | 1.898438 | 2 |

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s debut at the Met Gala was rocky to say the least. The event’s theme, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” offered opportunities to critique the nation’s faults. Not one to shy away from a challenge, AOC took a chance. Perhaps she could have taken a lesson from another fashion protestor.
Clothing, stylish or not, often is used to spotlight adversity. David Wojnarowicz, a multimedia artist whose works focused on society’s outcasts, died in 1992, a victim of AIDS. He also was an activist who used his own experience and, in at least one manner, his attire to send a message on behalf of those who would lose their battle.
An iconic denim jacket he wore on occasion used words and imagery to press a point, in the same way as the white gown with “Tax the Rich” tattooed on the back that AOC wore to the star-studded Gala in New York in September. But in his case, so much more was said.
Wojnarowicz took the ominous downturned triangle used by Nazis to call out gay men and flipped it on its head, reclaiming the symbol as a visual token of the cause, and punctuated his point in stark white capital letters: IF I DIE OF AIDS—FORGET BURIAL—JUST DROP MY BODY ON THE STEPS OF THE FDA.
At the time, the Food and Drug Administration stood accused of denying those with AIDS access to experimental drugs considered potentially life-saving. Wojnarowicz pinpointed the villain. Precisely.
AOC’s gown almost feels passive in comparison. “Tax the Rich,” the message on its back, has become less of a call to action in the economic, political and cultural revolution identified with AOC than a bumper sticker-style slogan for it.
The choice of venue did not help her case, either. The Gala is actually a fundraiser to, among other things, keep the entry fee for its beneficiary, the privately owned Metropolitan Museum of Art, practically free for many visitors.
And AOC made that point in defense of what she did. “Did you know that if you live in the NYC area you can go to the Met (including the same costume exhibit the wealthy saw last night) for as little $ as you’d like?” she said on Facebookthe next day. “Check it out this weekend. Bc the Met belongs to the people.”
But the Gala’s signature image is as a red carpet, costly-ticket event to show off the extravagant wealth most Americans could never dream of having. Wojnarowicz did not wear his jacket while lunching with the very people who did not care if he died.
And therein lies the main issue with AOC’s effort: there is no bite, none of the intensity and bold confrontation that have made her a person that some love as much as others hate when she speaks out against injustice and oppression.
The Congresswoman later recognized the inconsistencies, acknowledged what she didn’t get, but praised what she did. “We all had a conversation about Taxing the Rich in front of the very people who lobby against it, and punctured the 4thwall of excess and spectacle,” she said.
She may have given her opponents something, as well—images of AOC herself walking harmlessly among them, and at the same time offering them an opportunity to appear revolutionary themselves for letting her into their midst. | <urn:uuid:b04a06c8-6462-4180-b11b-07e4da0eb036> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://truthbetold.news/2021/10/the-democrat-the-designer-and-the-dress-wheres-the-bite/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.975504 | 757 | 1.554688 | 2 |
NY Penal Law § 150.20: Arson in the first degree
Arson involves damaging property by setting it on fire or causing an explosion. There are five degrees of the arson. The charge you will face depends on factors such as whether or not a person was in the structure, whether or not someone was injured, and how the fire or explosion was started. Arson in the first degree is the most serious of the five arson offenses. In fact, like kidnapping in the first degree and murder in the first degree, arson in the first degree is one of the most serious crimes in the New York criminal code. According to New York Penal Law § 150.20, you could be prosecuted for arson in the first degree if you intentionally damage property by causing a fire or explosion and:
- The fire or explosion is caused by a propelled incendiary device
- The fire or explosion is caused by an explosive
- The fire or explosion caused serious physical injury
- The fire or explosion was caused with the expectation or receipt of a financial advantage
- Someone was in the structure and you knew that it was likely that someone was in the structure
In People v. Rivers, 2011 NY Slip Op 8455 (N.Y., 2011) defendant Sherman Rivers contracted to sell an apartment building for $300,000. The sale contract required that the building be free of tenants. In order to drive the tenants out of the building, Rivers paid others to set fires in the building. Rivers was convicted of arson in the first degree based on causing a structure to be damaged by fire with the expectation of pecuniary profit.Related Offenses
- Arson in the Fifth Degree: New York Penal Law § 150.01
- Arson in the Fourth Degree: New York Penal Law § 150.05
- Arson in the Third Degree: New York Penal Law § 150.10
- Arson in the Second Degree: New York Penal Law § 150.15
If the arson in the first degree charge is based on someone suffering a serious physical injury, a possible defense would be based on the injuries suffered by the victim. Under New York Penal Law section 10.10(10), a serious physical injury is one that creates a substantial risk of death or causes protracted physical impairment. If you can show that the injury was not serious as defined by the statute, then the prosecutor would not be able to convict you of arson in the first degree.
One possible defense to a charge of arson in the first degree is that the fire was not set intentionally but accidentally. If the fire or explosion was indeed an accident, you cannot be convicted of arson in the third degree.Sentence
Arson in the first degree is one of the few crimes in New York that is a class A-I felony. If you are convicted you could spend the rest of your life in prison. The minimum sentence would be 15-40 years.New York Penal Law § 150.20: Arson in the First Degree
A person is guilty of arson in the first degree when he intentionally damages a building or motor vehicle by causing an explosion or a fire and when (a) such explosion or fire is caused by an incendiary device propelled, thrown or placed inside or near such building or motor vehicle; or when such explosion or fire is caused by an explosive; or when such explosion or fire either (i) causes serious physical injury to another person other than a participant, or (ii) the explosion or fire was caused with the expectation or receipt of financial advantage or pecuniary profit by the actor; and when (b) another person who is not a participant in the crime is present in such building or motor vehicle at the time; and (c) the defendant knows that fact or the circumstances are such as to render the presence of such person therein a reasonable possibility.
As used in this section, "incendiary device" means a breakable container designed to explode or produce uncontained combustion upon impact, containing flammable liquid and having a wick or a similar device capable of being ignited.
If you are convicted of arson in the first degree without doubt at a minimum you will spend several years in prison. However, just because you were charged with this crime does not mean that you will be convicted. There may be defenses that may result in the charges against you being dropped or reduced. Thus, it is important that you immediately seek experienced legal guidance.

Summer’s nearly here, which means your thoughts are turning to how you can get the sun-kissed, healthy look. But before you grab your towel and go outside, there are things you should be doing to prepare. Being out in the sun—and getting the most out of it--means more TLC for your skin.
1. Scrub for smoothness
Start with a body scrub. We advise you to adopt a scrub routine 2-3 times a week, unless you have sensitive skin--then it’s best to make it a once a week thing. Body scrubs are great for removing dead skin cells, which are a natural by-product of your skin’s regenerating process. When you use a body scrub regularly, it helps your skin to absorb your moisturizer better. It also prolongs your tan. Try to exfoliate your skin before it gets the first rays of sunshine so you’ll enter the summer with smooth skin and a radiant glow.
2. Get rid of that hair
Summertime is all about shorts, dresses and flowy skirts, so you may want to put some more effort into hair removal. Make sure to select a method that’s appropriate for your skin type. If your skin is sensitive, it may be better to opt for an electric shave to avoid the irritation caused by sharp razors, waxing and shaving creams. When shaving it’s important to keep a few things in mind: try not to shave in the opposite direction, as this may irritate your skin. Make sure to always use a proper shaving cream, because razors can catch and drag on dry skin, causing nicks and scratches. When you shave after a hot bath or shower, your skin is still damp and full of moisture which helps weaken hair follicles, therefore reducing the chances of inflammation.
3. Keep yourself moisturized
Get into the habit of moisturizing your body often. Using a body lotion will soften up the skin and gives it a healthy glow. A lotion can be used all over and it’s especially nourishing for areas where your skin is the driest (feet, hands, elbows, knees), which is great when you’re wearing short sleeves or sandals. After a long day at the beach or a lot of swimming, your skin can become dehydrated, so make sure to pamper your skin to bring back moisture levels.
4. Never too soon to start with sunscreen
Make sure to stock up on sunscreen as soon as summer approaches. Even though you may not actually go sunbathing for the day, it’s wise to protect your skin against damaging UV rays when you’re going to spend any amount of time outside. Don’t forget to skip your face, but make sure to use sun care lotion designed especially for it. It will not only protect your skin from sun damage, but it’s also a good way to prevent premature aging. Spending a lot of time out in the sun? Make sure to reapply your sun protection products every 2 hours for optimal protection. Find out more about the facts and myths about suncare here.
Take this advice and be well on your way to a gorgeous tan. You’ll notice that when you treat your skin well before stepping into the sun, it makes all the difference. | <urn:uuid:edeedc64-edb0-481a-9405-2a2c198ff600> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.rituals.com/en-gb/mag-prepare-skin.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.93177 | 696 | 1.515625 | 2 |
This project work deals with a critical evaluation of Africanism in relation to theme and techniques of Amos Tutuola’s novel – THE PALMWINE DRINKARD. This study tends to examine the important of African culture and promotion of its cultural heritage which was bastardized by the colonial masters during colonization.
In the course of this essay, chapter one will deals with introduction, background of the study, purpose of the study, scope and limitation, justification, methodology and authorial background. Chapter two forms the literature reviewed about past scholars’ view on Africanism, the concept of Africanism as theme, the concept of Africanism as techniques. Chapter three focuses on analysis of the novel- the palm-wine Drinkard. Chapter four encompasses summary, findings and conclusion to the whole essay. In our finding, we are able to discovered.
- That “Africanism especially the aspect of African culture in Tutuola’s texts enable the readers to appreciate and value their own traditions.
- That Africanism as a concept is capable of generating its own body of literature and attracts criticism to itself.
- That through the concept of Africanism, the efficacy of African culture has been proved using Tutuola’s text, the palmwine Drinkard.
Also, that the writing of the palmwine drinkard has been greatly influences by oral tradition.
Furthermore, it is discovered that Tutuola through the palmwine drinkard has proved that African writer are not writing in vacuum, but concentrate on Africa background. | <urn:uuid:2d0806ea-20c5-4484-bbfa-f394340ada24> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.grossarchive.com/project/14416/africanism-theme-and-technique-in-amos-tutuolas-the-palmwine-drinkard | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.945933 | 315 | 3.234375 | 3 |
People Operations (also known as People Ops and POPs) is someone or a team focused on how to make your employees more happy, engaged, and productive while working for your company. They own and continuously optimize the full employee lifecycle from the first impressions of the recruiting process to the final moments of off-boarding, your people ops team is working to create a better, more dialed-in employee experience for your people.
Not quite. Many think this HR vs People Ops debate is a simple battle of semantics, but a closer look tells us it's not the case. HR is having a glow-up, yes. but that doesn’t mean People Ops is the new name to be slapped onto HR.
Here’s what seems to be happening.
The term Human resources makes your employees feel like a commodity (spoiler: they don’t like that). Lately, HR has taken on the rebrand of calling itself Human Capital Management.
In many ways, there is sometimes an overlap between People Ops and Human Capital Management. But when executed correctly, HR and People Ops have two very different missions for your organization. Think of these two roles as both coming together as your house.
Your HR or HCM (Human Capital Management) team stands up and maintains the infrastructure in order for your business to run at all:
People Ops focuses however, focuses on how create a great employee experience within the infrastructure. The moments in the employee journey that make your company a great place to work:
exit interviews etc.
Now that you get the metaphor we have to ask...could you survive in an empty house (only HR/HCM)? Absolutely. Would you want to though? Absolutely not!
That's where People Ops comes in. They fill your house with (metaphorical) paint, music and decor-- they create an experience that makes people want to be in the house. If your organization is suffering with a retention problems, low engagement, and bad reviews on Glassdoor, it's time to get a People Ops expert to come in asap and turn things around. It may not even be your HR (*ahem* ...HCM) representatives fault, they may have had too much on their plate running your business than to be able to work on the business. | <urn:uuid:9d4e1e32-1c9b-449a-a8c1-22e5f04c84f1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pingboard.com/blog/people-ops-vs-hr/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.960724 | 502 | 1.507813 | 2 |
Touch Not the Oil & the Wine pt 2
In part 1, I shared about the firstfruits festivals
held for the new wine and the oil.
Now, I want to bring to mind parts of what was shared in a post called ‘Sifted and Separated ~ Pt 2’, and also add some fresh understanding.
Remember that the oil firstfruits festival was on 22nd Elul every year and the wood offering was for 6 days following that, from the 23rd to 28th Elul.
These firstfruits were brought to the temple for a worship offering and the Israelites were also required to bring a tithe of their olive harvest for use in the prescribed worship practices of the temple.
Lev 24:2 Command the Israelites that they bring to you pure oil from beaten olives for the light [of the golden lampstand] to cause a lamp to burn continually.
Pure oil is fresh oil, virgin oil of the first pressing, which is done by hand in a mortar, rather than in a mechanical oil press such as is used for the bulk of the harvest – this speaks so clearly of the action of the Lord’s own hand upon His set apart remnant as the Spirit brings forth pure oil within them. So, as the olive harvest began to be brought in after the firstfruits offering of oil on 22nd Elul, a considerable amount of fresh oil was brought to the temple in obedience to the Lord of all the earth. This is an amazing prophetic picture to me. In Genesis, God knows He is about to deal with the darkness on the face of the deep and it has to be done by release of a significant amount of a substance totally opposite in quality, in other words, LIGHT. The Hebrew for 'let there be' is ‘hayar’ and it also means is 'appear, come into being, arise'. So, He announces the appearing or arising of light - this is not natural light which we get from the sun, created on day 4, but spiritual light. It comes forth from Himself Who is Light. He releases a portion of the essence of Who He is into the earth.
In the same way, before the celebration of the Fall Feasts, the coming of the King and the wedding, Heaven calls for the appearing or arising of vessels full of fresh oil to be presented at the temple. It was accepted by the priests on duty and stored in an inner storehouse specially designated for the pure oil; the holy oil, set apart for producing light in the Holy Place. In other words, there is a transference of appointed position for those marked as holy to the Lord - from the field to the storehouse or treasury, through the valley of pressing.
Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. Isa 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. Isa 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
The word translated ‘shine’ also means ‘to kindle, set on fire’. So, this verse could be translated ‘arise and receive a baptism of fire’. This kindling occurs just as the time of dense darkness covers the earth – and it brings a profound distinction and manifestation of the allegiance and parentage of the ones radiating the glory light. And of course, those parented by the dark side become horrifyingly clear.
On 22nd Elul 5780, as I prepared to spend time with the Lord, He said to me, "Present yourself as fresh oil". So, I lifted my hands and offered myself as fresh oil firstfruits offering. Now as I look back, I realize He was asking me to do a prophetic action as a firstfruits vessel of pure fresh oil being brought to the temple as an offering for use in His temple in the year which was about to unfold. It is almost a 'here am I, send me' moment but for a specific use in a certain appointed part of the temple – the Holy Place.
These vessels of fresh pure oil carry the essence of Him Who is the Light of the World. They manifest Him. Jesus is poured out of them by their gestures and by their words. And their purpose is to dispel the darkness. Now, in the season of dense darkness that is falling upon the earth, it has never been more important for vessels of fresh pure oil to be made available for the Lord’s kindling.
The Fall Festivals require a large amount of oil to be available, especially as during Tabernacles, there were four giant lamps lit in the women's courtyard of the temple and the whole of Jerusalem was lit by their light. It is a feast filled with great joy and dancing in glorious light, in contrast to the darkness lying upon the surrounding territory. In the prophetic fulfilment of Tabernacles, the glory light of God will beam forth from within those who make up Hi holy tabernacle in the earth.
I asked the Lord why there was the oil festival (or Pentecost of oil) was celebrated first before the wood offering was carried out (during the 23rd to 28th Elul). He first highlighted the fact that the former was a celebration that was marked as a festival, but the second was just an offering without any celebration. The He pointed out that the oil was for use in the Holy Place but the wood was designated for use in the outer court during the burnt offerings on the brazen altar. First, pure remnant vessels full of oil would be presented and brought into the place of holy use i.e. they would be sealed and set-apart, not for common household use – and most importantly, they were not to be defiled. Then, once this receiving and setting apart had been accomplished with great joy and festivity in heavenly places, then the wood would be cut and provided for the brazen altar, delegated to the outer court and its workings.
Trees in the Bible always represent people (see psalm 1). The Lord indicated to me that in these days, the wood offering would be sourced from the trees who had suffered the axe to their root because no fruit of repentance had been seen in their lives. This included both individual lives and ministries, where the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Elijah had been calling for repentance and the call had been brushed off or flatly ignored.
The vessels brim-full of freshly pressed oil, representing fruit of repentance produced after the pressing and chastising of the Holy Spirit during Elul are appointed holy service and a baptism of fire results in an outpouring of glorious holy light – the light of the Spirit. The trees receiving the axe to the root are the unrepentant sinners among God's people who are appointed the everlasting burnings (the brazen altar fire never went out). Yes, they are still of use in the outer court, but the judgement of fire is their portion. Two kindlings taking place in different sections of the temple of the Lord – one producing glory light, the other inducing a severe cleansing and purification. The fire of judgement is portioned the outer court; that section left out in the measuring described in Revelation 11:1.
Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty two months.
The word translated ‘nations’ also means ‘pagan, heathen’. Then He took me back to Samuel and the removal of Hophni and Phineas from the priesthood. Samuel represents the firstfruits offering of Hannah's womb, set apart for holy use and brought to abide in the temple, his life a holy vessel poured out in ministering to the Lord. Hophni and Phineas are those in whom the axe is laid to the root of the tree. Sifting and separation is evident between the sons of oil and the fruitless trees whose end is to be burned. They are also described in Hebrews 6:4-8.
Remembering that the Spirit intimated to me that the door to the Bridal chamber would be closing by the end of the Hebrew year 5782, Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) 5783 seems to form the cut-off for the sealing of the holy vessels full of fresh oil, earmarked as vessels of honor for the end-time season ahead. The bridal chamber in this instance depicts the treasury of the temple where the holy vessels of fresh oil are stored and kept safe for holy use. The Fall Feasts are a prophetic picture of the unfolding of the endtimes, with some sealed and set-apart for holy use and glory outpouring in their midst, and others who bear no fruit of repentance relegated for righteous judgments.
In a great house there are vessels of gold and silver, wood and clay; vessels of honour and vessels for ignoble purposes. Wooden vessels are for lowly purposes. Wood is used in the outer court. Gold and silver are used in the Holy Place and its furniture and utensils and in the Holy of Holies. The High Priest’s garments also had thin gold wire woven into the blue, purple and scarlet fabric. If we purify ourselves, we can be vessels of honor, useful to the Master.
Rosh Hashanah is the day Noah released the dove from the ark for the final time and it did not return, The ground was drying and Noah could remove the cover of the ark and allow some fresh air and light in. The dove company, His precious Bridal remnant who have prepared themselves with extra oil are getting ready to fly to their portals. The years of preparation draw to a close for them and the outpouring of their oil is appointed to begin in the Holy Place. For others, the day that burns like an oven is at the threshold.
In the Book of Revelation chapter 7, first, the remnant saints of God are sealed and then the judgments begin to be poured out. When the black horse begins to ride in Rev 6:6, there is a shout, "Do not touch the oil and the wine". As I have shared, these two liquid firstfruits offerings are holy to the Lord; these two groups of saints are hidden in the day of His anger. First there is the sealing of His bondservant saints, then judgment is unleashed in the earth and the first one unleashed is the burning up of 1/3 of the trees!!!
Rev 7:2 Then I saw a second angel coming up from the east (the rising of the sun) and carrying the seal of the living God. And with a loud voice he called out to the four angels who had been given authority and power to injure earth and sea, Rev 7:3 Saying, Harm neither the earth nor the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the bond servants of our God upon their foreheads.
Rev 8:7 The first angel blew [his] trumpet, and there was a storm of hail and fire mingled with blood cast upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees was burned up and all the green grass was burned up.
In natural terms, this speaks of a rain of asteroids bombarding the earth. In spiritual terms, if we look at trees as representing men, one third of the trees are to receive judgment by fire. Some trees have been planted by the streams that make glad the city of God and bear their fruit in season. Others are unmoved and unchanged by the waters calling for repentance and realignment. I cannot tell you how the fear of God grips my heart as I type these words.
The sifting and the separating are even now taking place. The vessels containing the oil offering are marked and sealed for holy use and celebrated even as they are filled, and the baskets of chopped wood are filling rapidly. Where will your life be counted? Amongst the holy or the unholy? The outer court is appointed for trampling for 3&1/2 years, for treading underfoot, like salt that has lost its savor. Oh, Spirit of the Living God, help us all to be found face down before You, bringing our hearts into holy alignment with Your will and Your standard.
Rev 22:11 He who is unrighteous (unjust, wicked), let him be unrighteous still; and he who is filthy (vile, impure), let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous (just, upright, in right standing with God), let him do right still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still. Rev 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit.
The word translated ‘still’ also means ‘more’ – let the holy become more holy, more set apart, completely abandoned and dedicated to His will and purposes in the earth. Let the distinction between light and darkness become a definite clear demarcation; may those who name themselves by the Name of the Lord have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness – so much so, that our holy living convicts those around us of their need for Christ. Let all of us who are truly sons of the Light and sons of the Day live in such a way that our lives display His holy, pure light.
I am reminded suddenly of a little song the Holy Spirit gave me:
May my life be a light,
a precious, holy flame.
May I burn with a passion
that never will grow dim.
May the breath of Your lips
now fan it ever higher.
For Your glory, for Your glory,
may I burn. | <urn:uuid:aefb9dd3-6e10-464a-ba2c-4ff3723a1914> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.teamjesus222.com/post/touch-not-the-oil-the-wine-pt-2-christine-beadsworth | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570692.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807181008-20220807211008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.971803 | 2,940 | 1.523438 | 2 |
San Francisco and its bay comprise one of the most famous cityscapes in the world. The romance and excitement elicited by its name has been earned over many years. San Francisco, like New York City, is a melting pot of numerous cultures which have established and maintained enclaves within the boundaries of the city. These areas add to the charm and interest of the city for visitors. There are enough attractions to justify three or more days for the average sightseer, and there are also numerous day trips available to fascinating locations nearby.
The Golden Gate Bridge, one of world’s most famous landmarks, is known and admired because of its setting as the gateway into San Francisco Bay and to the world class city itself. The bridge is distinctive for its color (a reddish orange) and impressive because of its size. It connects the San Francisco peninsula with Marin County and coastal points North. The bridge connects elements of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which encompasses a huge and varied region in and around San Francisco, and which contains several notable tourist sights, including Alcatraz Island, accessible via ferry from the Pier area. National Park Rangers conduct tours of what used to be a maximum security prison in the middle of the bay. Other attractions within the recreation area include Muir Woods, and Cliff House with its nearby islands, especially Seal Rocks. Many other different types of activities are available in the Recreation Area, because of the variety of habitats which compose the region.
Muir Woods, named for noted conservationist, John Muir, allows access to a beautiful grove of Redwoods, the world’s tallest trees, just north of San Francisco. The National Monument has numerous trails which can be explored. Despite being crowded during certain times of the year, the area is famous for its solitude and feeling of peace and tranquility, a truly reverent tribute to a great man.
Chinatown, the largest concentration of Chinese people outside of China, has numerous shops and restaurants and is an extremely vibrant area any time of the day or night. The outdoor food market is especially interesting.
Another uniquely San Franciscan treat is to ride a Cable Car. The one most popular with tourists leaves from near Ghirardelli Square.
One of the most popular excursions from the city is to the Napa Valley Wine Country, located just northeast of San Francisco, which has become popular as a destination due to the increasing popularity of American wines from the area. Many of the vineyards offer tasting and tours of their facilities. The neighboring Sonoma Valley offers similar activities, and is also easily accessible from the city as either a day trip or an overnight excursion.
1. Climb the Coit Memorial Tower on Telegraph Hill for glorious views of the bay, the skyline, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
2. The views of San Francisco Bay from Sausalito and from Vista Point, at the northern end of the bridge are spectacular.
3. Take a drive down Lombard Street, known as the “crookedest” street in the world.
4. Cliff House, south of the Golden Gate Bridge, offers views of the coast, especially Seal Rocks, and is a great place to observe sunset. | <urn:uuid:0e956c63-c2d1-4512-8355-f82725f315a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.garystravels.com/spotlight-on-san-francisco-ca-usa/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.958869 | 662 | 2.3125 | 2 |
In the spirit of Valentine's Day and all things sweetheart, we thought it would be a good idea to be sweet to our hearts, and focus on the foods that make our actual hearts sing with happiness.
So, in no particular order, I present to you the top ten heart healthy foods. Move over, heart-shaped box of chocolates. Hello, lox-and-avocado wrap!
- Salmon With loads of omega-3 fatty acids—a type of unsaturated fat—fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and herring have been found to be helpful in preventing heart attacks. Wild caught salmon have considerably higher levels of omega-3s than their farmed cousins, which can also have high levels of other less-desirable chemicals and toxins.
- Avocado Also high in omega-3, avocado falls under the "good" fat category (the monounsaturated kind), which can lower your "bad" cholesterol level. Since they help your body absorb important carotenoids like beta carotene and lycopene, avocados can be a powerful addition to a heart healthy diet. Tread with moderation, however: this sodium-free fruit still packs a heavy caloric punch: just one cup of the green mush is a whopping 235 calories!
- Almonds As an unsaturated fat, these tear-shaped nuts—along with their meatier cousins, the walnut—can help lower bad (LDL) cholesterol levels by raising the good (HDL) cholesterol levels. This adds to overall cardiovascular health. And don't just limit yourself to the crunchy raw form: a dollop of almond butter to whole grain toast, or your morning oatmeal (see below), or your afternoon smoothie adds a whole lot of flavor and a heart healthy boost.
- Whole grains/oats Increasing your fiber intake can help lower your LDL cholesterol, too. Bonus: a higher fiber diet can also help you lose weight by filling you up faster, and leaving you feeling that way for a longer time. (Add link here).
- Berries Low in calories and high in fiber and antioxidants, a colorful cup of berries can help keep your blood pressure in check. Experiment with the wide variety whenever they come in season. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries: they each have their own antioxidant makeup and they can be your go-to snack, mid-morning or nighttime. They freeze (and defrost) easily, too, so feel free to stock up and freeze when berry season hits town.
- Spinach With a Popeye-sized punch of potassium, these green leafies have been proven to lower blood pressure in clinical studies. Versatile and unassertive, spinach isn't just a dinner side dish: swap out boring, colorless iceberg lettuce for a cup of baby spinach, and make your next sandwich a crunchy, heart happy treat.
- Olive oil Since we're on the topic of Popeye, his girlfriend's namesake also makes it on our top ten list of heart healthiest foods. Unlike some other oils which can be hydrogenated, leaving it with an unnatural chemical structure your body has a hard time digesting, olive oil—especially the extra virgin (EVOO) variety—is an unsaturated fat that can help lower bad cholesterol and increase the good kind. To make sure you're buying the real-deal EVOO, look for oil that is greener, smoother, and far thicker than corn or vegetable oil. And remember—the antioxidants in EVOO are easily cooked away, so frying up your onions in it may not impart all the same benefits as a raw tablespoon's worth on your salad.
- Flaxseed Super rich in another type of omega-3 fat, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), flaxseeds provide multiple cardiac benefits (as does the ALA-rich walnut). Eating just two tablespoons of flaxseed—mixed in yogurt, cereal, smoothies, soups, or stews—can keep your heart happy.
- Soy Soy contains high levels of polyunsaturated fat, fiber, vitamins and minerals, and has very low levels of saturated fat. "Natural" soy foods like edamame and tofu are heart healthy foods—especially when used as a substitute for high-cholesterol meat—but beware of excess soy products, like soy bars and soy milk, as well as soy supplements. Processed soy foods can contain high levels of soy protein isolate and concentrates, which can affect thyroid and other functions, and—like most other processed food—may contain a host of other undesirable ingredients as well.
- Legumes Many legumes—plants that produces the "fruit" in a pod—are low in sodium, high in fiber, and off the charts with vitamins and other minerals like potassium, folate, vitamin C and magnesium, landing these little bitty foods on our top ten heart healthy list. Of the dozens of varities of legumes out there, some of our favorites—both for their nutrient content and cooking versatility—include lentils, kidney beans, navy beans, and chickpeas (also known as the garbanzo bean). There is seemingly no limit to the way you can incorporate these little health nuggets into your diet. Search our recipe index for bean rich meals like our Turkey Chili. | <urn:uuid:782d44f9-9504-4a85-bf62-09408ba78c65> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://audreylaureltonrdn.com/articles/foods-your-heart-loves/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.913516 | 1,100 | 2.28125 | 2 |
The wonderful, intricate carpets of the East have delighted and attracted admirers from all over the world. They are a wondrous mix of colour and style reflecting the areas they are from; woven from silk, cotton and wool from various animals like goats, sheep and camel. Different combinations providing strength and of course price. Silk rugs have always been popular, and due to their strength, many remain throughout the world as valued antiques. Over the past twenty years, nomadic tribal rugs have grown in popularity and are proving a substantial investment and as such are a favourite item at auctions worldwide.
Bedouin Carpets Attracting Attention As Investments
One of the popular nomadic rugs comes from the Bedouin tribes. These are durable, hard-wearing and completely handmade, from the shearing of the wool, washing, carding, spinning and drying to the weaving itself. The looms the Bedouins use are very simple and easily dismantled to move with them. The traditional designs remain the most popular based on centuries-old patterns, and each tribe has their own unique patterns; sometimes you can see the possible origins of the design, maybe from a mosaic or old scripture that has been copied and become part of the tribe’s patterns. Visit https://www.barnebys.co.uk/ to view their eclectic carpet selection and gain an insight into the investment potential of these carpets.
Bedouin Carpets – A Business Opportunity?
The lifestyle of the Bedouin has been changing since oil was discovered in their areas, so to as the carpet trade. While traditions are continued, it is a slow and laborious process to make even one rug. Tribes have begun to settle in semi-permanent places, as international politics, boundaries and big business impinge on their lifestyle. Children go to school, learning skills other than the ones their mother and mother’s mother learnt. The art of carpet weaving has not disappeared, but the supply has dropped. Against this, the demands for original handmade rugs are increasing. Funding those tribes that still keep to traditional ways is an excellent business investment both short and long term. As International interest in their carpets grows, attention is being paid to other handmade products, cushions, wall -hangings and saddle bags, all in high demand. Investment into this area will create a sustainable product that helps retain traditional ways of life while still encouraging growth and change. | <urn:uuid:017ccf5f-63e1-4f7a-9ae4-ecc911460812> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://laonf.net/middle-east-carpets-flying-into-the-auctions/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967246 | 499 | 2.28125 | 2 |
- Before beginning the video or sharing the transcript with your students, invite them to get into a comfortable position, sitting on a chair or the floor.
- Ask them what sounds they notice throughout the school day (e.g., cars outside, voices, etc.)? Do they notice sounds coming and going?
- Invite them to learn to pay attention and really listen to the sounds they hear during this practice.
Mindful Moments with JusTme (#3 Mindful Listening) from YoMIND on Vimeo.
Let’s do a little mindfulness exercise to relax your mind and your body and tune up our mindful listening. So here’s what you’re going to do; it’s like this…
Make sure you’re sitting up nice and tall with your shoulders relaxed and rolled back.
Now if you’re in a chair, put your feet flat on the floor,
And if you’re already seated on the floor, just cross your legs.
The next thing is your hands.
Let’s have them either palms facing up or palms facing down in your lap.
Now let’s start to move our focus inside.
I invite you to close your eyes, or focus on a spot on the floor in front of you without dropping your chin.
I’m going to keep my eyes open, so I can check out the room and make sure everything is good around you.
So feel safe; feel secure. And let’s get to it.
Let’s start with a deep breath just to settle into the practice, breathing in and breathing out.
Start to notice what you feel in your body.
Notice if you have any pain, any areas of tightness, or if you’re feeling uncomfortable in any way.
Notice any discomfort; just notice it.
If you need to wiggle a little bit to adjust—to get a little bit more comfortable, go right ahead and do that.
Now once you’re comfortable, try to keep you body really still.
Let’s take a few more breaths together.
Let’s breathe in; breathe out
Breathing in, and breathing out.
Keep it going.
This time let’s tune into our sense of hearing and notice the sounds of our breath as we breathe in and breathe out.
So once more, let’s breathe in and breathe out.
Now, direct your attention to the sounds in the room, and just notice those sounds.
And also notice if you can hear where there are spaces of silence between the sounds.
Great job—you all.
Now continue to keep your ears open as we listen for the sound of the mindful bell.
The mindful bell sounds like this…
[Ring a bell or chime.]
Now, when you hear the sound of the mindful bell, raise your hand.
And when you don’t hear the sound anymore, you can just gently bring your hand back down.
We’re going to practice this three times together.
So get ready. Eyes still closed.
Ready? Here we go.
[Play a bell or chime three different times. Pause between each sound.]
Awesome job, you all.
Now, let’s say our kind, loving words to ourselves.
Let’s bring our hands over our hearts.
I will say some things out loud and you can repeat them to yourself in your head or in a soft whisper.
So repeat after me.
It’s okay to be awesome.
I AM awesome.
It’s okay to be great.
I AM great.
When I work hard and set my mind to it, I can do it.
I can be my best.
I can do my best because I am my best.
Now inhale and let’s lift our arms up over our heads for a full body stretch.
And as your bring your hands down slowly, you can slowly and gently open your eyes.
Great job, you all.
Taking these journeys into our inside world helps us deal with what’s going on in our outside world.
It takes practice, but over time, practicing mindfulness will strengthen your mind and your body so that you can be your best self at all times.
I love you all and respect you.
Please love and respect yourselves.
Love and respect each other.
And take care of your mind.
- Invite students to describe their experience during this practice.
- Ask them what they noticed about their ability to trace the beginning and ending of the mindful bell’s ring.
- Why might this practice might be useful to them?

Photography as Decorative Sculpture
California Museum of Photography
July 26 - September 27, 2008
Saturday, July 26, 2008, 6pm - 9pm
Drawing from a selection of photographic jewelry, household goods, and photograph albums in UCR/CMP's permanent collection, "Photo-Crafting" examines ways in which late nineteenth and early twentieth century photography was incorporated into daily life and decoration and turned that medium into three-dimensional objects. Photographs adorning cufflinks, buttons, teacups, and cloth were produced commercially and ordered through photography studios. Usually these images were portraits of loved ones, so that, for example, a husband could wear his wife's image close at hand, or a couple could have a his-and-hers set of teacups bearing their portraits. In addition to these commercially produced photographic items, individuals decorated their photograph albums, inside and out, to create an aesthetically pleasing effect for the viewer. The objects in this exhibition demonstrate an early drive to make photographs more dimensional, tangible, and personal in everyday life.

There are many factors that determine how happy your betta fish is. One of the most important things to consider is temperature. It’s not uncommon for people to think that they can just put their betta in any old water and it will be fine, but this isn’t the case at all. There are two different types of temperatures you should keep your tank warm or cool. If you’re looking for a way to make sure your betta stays happy and healthy, read on.
What temperature do betta fish prefer and why?
Betta fish prefer water between 76 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. They come from the warm waters of Thailand, so this is their comfort zone. Temperatures above or below this range can cause stress to your betta fish. If they are placed in too cold a tank, they will become sluggish and disinterested in food; on the other hand, if they’re kept at high temperatures for long periods of time, it could quickly kill them. Betas do not need heated tanks unless their living environment falls outside of that temperature range – just be sure you don’t have any sudden changes in temperature with these guys.
How can you keep your betta fish at an ideal temperature?
The easiest way to do this is by using a heater. If you have an aquarium, it’s best to buy a submersible model that will keep the water at your preferred temperature 24/seven – if you can’t find one for sale with your tank kit, be sure to pick one up separately.
Another alternative is buying a thermostat and regulating the temperature yourself. These are sold in many pet stores as well as online; they’re relatively inexpensive and easy-to-use once installed properly so long as you read the owner’s manual first. Be careful not to set them too low though or leave them unmonitored: bettas don’t need drastic changes of heat, but any sudden drop could cause problems for them.
For those of you who don’t want to buy a heater or thermostat, simply opt for an aquarium with built-in filtration and lighting. These often come equipped with heaters that will keep the water at your preferred temperature without requiring any extra purchases on your part. Just be sure not to set them too high – betta fish for sale prefer their tanks between 76 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit so anything higher than this is unnecessary.
If you’re worried about heating costs when buying a new tank, try setting it up in advance and allowing the water inside to warm naturally over time instead of using a heater right away. This way, only half of its capacity will need heated while still giving your beta of warmth throughout his living area.
What happens if the water temperature goes below or above?
If the water in your tank is too cold for a betta fish, it will become sluggish and disinterested in food. If this happens, raise the temperature immediately by using an aquarium heater to bring it up gradually over time – never allow it to go above 80 degrees Fahrenheit though or you could kill your little guy.
Similarly, if the water gets too hot then that can also cause major problems with stress. Keep temperatures below 76 degrees Fahrenheit at all times when keeping these guys happy; just be sure not to let them fall below 70 either as they are incredibly sensitive creatures. Try purchasing one of the heating options listed above if possible: they make life much easier on their own without any need for further later down the line.
What are some betta fish temperature facts?
Bettas can survive in cooler temperatures, but they become sluggish and disinterested when the water gets too cold. If you notice your beta becoming inactive or slow to eat, check his living conditions. Cold water won’t kill him like warm water will if it’s only for a short period of time as long as he recovers afterwards.
If the water gets too hot, your betta fish may become stressed and sickly. Keep it between 76-80 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure his comfort level | <urn:uuid:789ff8cb-8529-4a84-98d4-cf7b2d307164> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://latestmarketplace.com/what-temperature-does-your-betta-fish-prefer/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.948172 | 844 | 2.0625 | 2 |
“Off with the Crack of a Whip!”
Stagecoaching through Yellowstone, and the Origins of Tourism in the Interior of the American West (Vol. I, 1878-1891.)
ByLee H. Whittlesey
Stagecoaches carried visitors to and through Yellowstone National Park for thirty-eight years, from 1878 to 1916, and helped establish Yellowstone as a world-famous travel destination. This book by preeminent Yellowstone historian Lee Whittlesey is an engaging account of stagecoaching’s first years in the park.
In lively, often humorous prose, Whittlesey describes the evolution of stagecoach travel in Yellowstone, the colorful men—and women—who ran the stagecoach companies, the types of stagecoaches that carried tourists, and the stagecoach drivers who were “rough and profane but men of undoubted nerve.” Along the way, he shares stories from passengers who were appalled by their drivers, the “bone-rattling” roads, the armed hold-ups, and the relentless dust, yet who were entranced by the wonders of this new Wonderland.

““Off with the Crack of a Whip!” is a lively, colorful paean to the park’s legendary stagecoach days and an astonishing achievement of research. An amazing book.”
—Paul Schullery, author of Searching for Yellowstone
“This book is an excellent history, because stagecoach tourism was intertwined with almost every aspect of Yellowstone’s development. “Off with the Crack of a Whip!” is a fascinating ride.”
—Dr. Judith Meyer, author of The Spirit of Yellowstone
Lee H. Whittlesey’s forty-five-year studies in the history of the Yellowstone region have made him an expert on Yellowstone’s vast literature and have resulted in numerous publications. He is the author, co-author, or editor of sixteen books and some sixty journal articles, including “Off with the Crack of a Whip”: Stagecoaching Through Yellowstone and the Origins of Tourism in the Interior of the American West, volume one (2022, Riverbend Publishing) and This Modern Saratoga of the Wilderness: A History of Mammoth Hot Springs (2022, National Park Service).
In 2000, Whittlesey published The Guide to Yellowstone Waterfalls and Their Discovery (Westcliffe Publishers) in which he and two co-authors revealed to the world for the first time the existence of more than 300 previously unknown waterfalls in Yellowstone National Park. For this accomplishment, he was featured on ABC News, NBC News, the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, and People magazine.
In 2015, Whittlesey published a new edition of his book about Truman Everts entitled Lost in the Yellowstone, a new edition of his well-known book Death in Yellowstone, and his book Gateway to Yellowstone: The Raucous Town of Cinnabar on the Montana Frontier (Rowman and Littlefield with Two Dot Books).
In 2020, the two-volume The History of Mammals in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, 1796-1881: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of Thousands of Historical Observations by Whittlesey and NPS Interpreter Sarah Bone was published by Kindle Direct Publishing of Seattle. This book entailed thirty years of research.
Whittlesey served as Archivist and then Park Historian for the National Park Service at Yellowstone National Park for twenty-seven years, and previously served in that park as Ranger Naturalist/Interpreter, Law Enforcement Ranger, and in numerous other positions. He has a master’s degree in history from Montana State University and a law degree (Juris Doctor) from the University of Oklahoma. On May 19, 2001, because of his extensive writings and long contributions to Yellowstone National Park, Idaho State University conferred upon him an Honorary Doctorate of Science and Humane Letters. On May 3, 2014, Montana State University awarded him an honorary Ph.D. in history. From 2006 through 2011, he served as an adjunct professor of history at Montana State University.
Whittlesey has often appeared in television programs to talk about Yellowstone’s history.
He appeared in Ken Burns’s six-part special, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, on PBS, and the Arun Chaudhary film shot for President Obama’s White House. He starred in the British Broadcasting Corporation’s hour-long program entitled “Unnatural Histories—Yellowstone,” and on Montana PBS’s history of Yellowstone. He is also a frequent speaker at history conferences.
Whittlesey retired as Park Historian for the National Park Service at Yellowstone National Park in 2018. He now lives in the Livingston, Montana area, where he writes in retirement.
Other books by Whittlesey are: Myth and History in the Creation of Yellowstone National Park (with Paul Schullery, 2004, University of Nebraska Press); A Yellowstone Album: Photographic Celebration of the First National Park (1997, National Park Service); Storytelling in Yellowstone: Horse and Buggy Tour Guides (2007, University of New Mexico Press); Yellowstone Place Names (1988, 2006, Montana Historical Society); Ho! for Wonderland: Travelers Accounts of Yellowstone, 1872-1914 (with Elizabeth Watry, 2009, University of New Mexico Press); Images of America: Yellowstone National Park (2008) and Images of America: Fort Yellowstone (both with fellow historian Elizabeth Watry, Arcadia Press); and the voluminous library-manuscript Wonderland Nomenclature (1988, Microfiche from Montana Historical Society). | <urn:uuid:e373afd6-0654-47f2-bc2a-65a31a22d29b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://riverbendpublishing.com/products/off-with-the-crack-of-a-whip | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.924611 | 1,242 | 2.109375 | 2 |
Honolulu, HI – After an approximately 2,300-nautical mile sail from San Diego to Hawaiʻi, Polynesian voyaging canoe Hikianalia and her crew are expected to arrive at the Marine Education and Training Center at Sand Island on Tuesday, December 11, depending on weather conditions. As of this morning at 10 a.m. (HST), the canoe was approximately 560 nautical miles away from Oʻahu and traveling at a speed of 3.8 knots. This fourth leg will complete the Alahula Kai o Maleka Hikianalia California Voyage, which launched in August to share the culture and history of traditional Polynesian voyaging and the important values of caring for our earth and communities.
The crew of the fourth leg is being led by co-captains Kaniela Lyman-Mersereau and Jason Patterson along with lead navigator Haunani Kane, who are part of the cohort of next generation voyaging leaders who trained during the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage.
Hikianalia departed Honolulu on August 18, 2018 and made landfall at Half Moon Bay, California on Sept. 10, 2018. While in California, the canoe made stops in San Francisco, Sausalito, Monterey, Ventura County, Redondo Beach, Catalina Island and Orange County before making a final stop in San Diego. While in San Francisco, the voyagers shared a message about the importance of ocean stewardship at the Global Climate Action Summit and other events focused on environmental and cultural preservation. Each port stop began with an arrival ceremony hosted by the indigenous and local communities of the area. The crew held public presentations, school visits and dockside canoe tours to share the history and legacy of Polynesian voyaging and the mission of the Polynesian Voyaging Society.
About Alahula Kai o Maleka Hikianalia California Voyage:
The Alahula Kai o Maleka Hikianalia California Voyage is a continuation of the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s Mālama Honua campaign to inspire action toward an environmentally and culturally thriving world. The name of the voyage, Alahula Kai o Maleka, honors the “frequented pathway,” alahula, across the ocean between Hawaiʻi and California, kai o Maleka. Kai o Maleka, literally means “sea of America,” a traditional reference to the Pacific waterway connecting the Hawaiian Islands and the West Coast. Additional purposes of the voyage are to celebrate the Polynesian communities of California; connect, learn and share the Mālama Honua message with schools and communities; continue developing the next generation of voyaging captains, navigators and crewmembers; and to share the story of Hikianalia, a canoe that blends ancient wisdom and modern solutions to address the environmental and cultural issues of today. The major sponsors of the Alahula Kai o Maleka Hikianalia California Voyage are Hawaiian Airlines, OluKai, Kamehameha Schools and Hawaii Tourism Authority.
Hikianalia, the wind- and solar-powered canoe built by the Okeanos Foundation for the Sea is the sister vessel of the famed Hōkūleʻa. Hikianalia is the Hawaiian name for the star Spica, which rises together with Hōkūleʻa (Arcturus) in Hawaiʻi. They are sister stars because they break the horizon together at the latitude of the Hawaiian islands. Launched on September 15, 2012, Hikianalia was designed specifically for the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage. The canoe started as an escort vessel to Hōkūleʻa and is now used as a floating classroom blending ancient wisdom with modern solutions. Hikianalia specializes in scientific exploration of marine resources and training for the next generation of voyagers. Values and behavior practiced on the deck of the canoe including how to conserve resources, care for our oceans and fellow crewmembers are shared as a model for how we can live sustainably on islands or anywhere in the world. She combines the latest ecological technology with the heritage of voyaging tradition: each of her hulls contains an electric motor powered by onboard photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight to electric propulsive energy. With a zero carbon footprint, her design supports the “Mālama Honua” (care for Island Earth) mission.
About Polynesian Voyaging Society
The Polynesian Voyaging Society was founded in 1973 on a legacy of Pacific Ocean exploration, seeking to perpetuate the art and science of traditional Polynesian voyaging and the spirit of exploration through experiential educational programs that inspire students and their communities to respect and care for themselves, one another, and their natural and cultural environments.

The world at large is watching both China and India as powerhouses of economic growth. The two nations have achieved significantly high rates of economic growth ever since their respective economies liberalized in 1978 and 1991. Singapore, despite its limited land size and almost total dependence on external trade, has performed remarkably well and has moved 'from the third world to the first'. This book documents and explains the rapid economic growth of the three key Asian economies. The book also looks at what has happened to income inequality in the context of superior growth performance. It makes comparative assessments and examines the implications for the three nations. Since free markets have nothing in them to produce a reduction in income inequality among persons/households, one must at best hope for equality of opportunity - notably reflected in identical schooling for all; identical health care for all; and minimal rather than vulgar inequality in housing. This book is particularly useful for both China and India which may wish to study and learn from Singapore in regard to the policies, programmes and projects aimed at ensuring equality of opportunity. The book is backed by considerable expertise on the part of the researchers, with demonstrated expertise through their publications spawning a few decades. It is invaluable to those who are concerned with designing policies for developing countries aimed at rapid and inclusive economic growth. This book has been made possible by the intellectual and financial support extended by the Global Asia Institute, National University of Singapore. | <urn:uuid:f15eb5ac-c203-4e81-8f5b-817dec220050> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://webpac.lib.pu.edu.tw/webpac/bookDetail.do?id=832271 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967296 | 279 | 2.171875 | 2 |
With the many projects now staying conducted over a global in scale by worldwide organisations including diverse groups working in distinctive spots and across numerous countries it might be naive to anticipate the task to be problem-free and work smoothly at all times. With persons involved from a variety of social backgrounds and with built in language limitations such global projects happen to be bound to come across complications a few level. In a few jobs ethnic differences can cause sustained concerns during the cycle of the task. Also in which groups are employed by the same worldwide organisation with all the same company culture, the local cultural variations at a level can impact the progress with the project. Global projects could be, and happen to be, successful because they use the most ideal expertise that are obtainable inside the virtually all economical approach. But it surely is essential to be familiar with the areas which have been likely to issues over and previously mentioned the typical complications stumbled upon in all jobs if you are organizing a worldwide project, and/or currently focusing on a single. Positively take care of these types of trouble areas along with your project will probably be successful.
1 . Different Places & Time Zones
Project affiliates working in precisely the same area can quickly eliminate small issues before that they become big problems since they can easily quickly speak personally and do not really have to rely too seriously on messages and digital community forums or message boards. They will are every at work at the same time and don’t have to plan conversations although can provide an improvised controversy when needed. But if your team is not co-located then ensure there is definitely for least a 2 hour period every time of day when most team members can be reached bu mobile phone or email. Depending on the relevant time zones this can mean that 1 crew must alter their particular regular working hard several hours by starting previously, or perhaps polishing off in the future, than normal. This simple modify can be quite a primary factor in preventing difficulties with many parts of a job.
2 ) Cultural Variances
Few of all of us really figure out a completely different traditions and their different attitudes to work. Meritocratic working environments do not exist in every region so perceptions to senior management, handling of challenges and quality of job may be totally different. No qualtity of cautious wording of contracts can easily mitigate settled cultural principles. Recognise that the is a issue that needs to become fixed from both sides returning jointly and not by just one area of the ethnical divide changing. We can all study something right from different functioning practises and attitudes hence try and prevent challenges by ensuring each and every one parties state and document their prospects of every additional.
3 . Words Barriers
In the majority of global projects the key people communicating key messages about the project will be doing therefore in the equal terminology. But that words is certainly extremley unlikely to be the mother tongue coming from all those included and this kind of can result in uncertainty. Mental and crafted speaking are both areas which can cause belief and an inability to grasp essential details. Native speakers will need to use obvious, simple language when communicating with others meant for whom the language is a second language.
4 . Motivating The Clubs
A global project director definitely necessities to concern feedback to teams within the style and quality with their work. Virtually any dis-satisfaction with all the work must be voiced in early stages so that expectations are distinct and the required normal is available over time. It is necessary that the global project director understands what inspires every workforce and the people and the way to offer helpful critique targeted at restoring function somewhat than simply outright critique. Speaking truthfully and freely with affiliates early about will uncover completely different triggers of determination and, simply because the project progresses keep in mind that one of the most methods of motivating persons should be to easily value these people for the purpose of the work they may have done.
5 . Reporting
It is crucial not only that do the job is accomplished to a acceptable (or, indeed, better than satisfactory) level but likewise that function progress and status is certainly clearly and accurately reported. Reporting requirements are probably to vary from local to global level but it is essential that all reviews actually supply the information required by the person(s) designed for who the article is planned. It is usually only through experience that a task manager might develop the understanding and capabilities to manage the specific conflicts of global project management.

By Tony Magliano
Waiting is a natural part of life. But it’s often hard to wait. And in our modern world which pampers us in so many ways with instant gratification, we expect things to happen, well … instantly. And when they don’t, we often quickly become impatient.
If when the traffic light turns green and the person in front of us doesn’t immediately move we become irritated. If we have to wait on the phone for a customer service agent to speak with us we get annoyed. And if our computer takes three seconds to respond, we complain to ourselves how slow it’s running.
A self-centered impatience accompanied with irritability and annoyance is not spiritually healthy. But Advent offers us a cure to what ails our souls. Advent offers us a wonderful opportunity to learn how to wait patiently, prayerfully and trustingly on the Lord. And in this gentle process we are divinely given peace in the midst of our waiting – the peace that only Jesus can bring; the peace as he says the world cannot give.
And as we patiently wait, it is also important to balance that with a dose of healthy impatience on behalf of those in desperate need.
Many years ago while assisting with the operation of Catholic Charities’ emergency food services in Washington, D.C., I contacted the late famous advocate for the homeless, Mitch Snyder, who gave me a tour of The Community for Creative Non-Violence’s homeless shelter – the largest comprehensive homeless shelter in the United States.
While on the tour I remember mentioning to him about future possible programs for the homeless I was aware of in the D.C. area. He stopped me in my tracks and firmly said: “That guy in the dumpster looking for food tonight can’t wait for some possible programs. He needs and deserves help now!” These words and the legitimate urgency in his voice made a lasting impression on me.
It’s all too easy for us living in comfortable conditions to expect – albeit often unconsciously – the homeless, hungry, poor, migrant, war-torn, unborn, sick, unemployed, enslaved and forgotten elderly to wait – to wait for justice.
But no one, absolutely no one, should have to wait for justice, dignity and love. Everyone deserves and needs to be treated like a human being, a brother or sister, a child of God.
During Advent, it is deeply important for us as committed disciples of our Lord to seek a healthy holistic balance between patiently waiting with purposeful spiritual preparation for Jesus to be born afresh in our hearts, and impatiently striving to bring to fulfillment a new global reality of justice, peace and love that the incarnation of God gave birth to.
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who lived in a land of gloom a light has shone.” This hopeful prophecy from the Book of Isaiah is marvelously fulfilled in the coming of Jesus.
Amidst the darkness that plagues much of our world, may we long to become ever more like Jesus – the light of the world!
While we wait for Emmanuel – God with us – to be reborn afresh in us, may we also like St. John the Baptist be “A voice of one crying out in the desert: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.’ ”
Waiting – with holy patience and holy impatience – is Advent’s call to us.
And so we wait. | <urn:uuid:74f7a093-f00b-4693-af7e-470392319133> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://auscp.org/and-so-we-wait/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949036 | 734 | 1.632813 | 2 |
Life is a journey everyone must go through, and everyone's journey consists of extreme obstacles they must overcome. Judith Guest illustrates the journey of each member of the Jarrett family in her book, Ordinary People. The family suffers from a great tragedy when the eldest son of the Jarrett's drowns in a boating accident. Throughout the book, Guest depicts a vivid picture of each character's conflicts, and expectations with her attention to detail, therefore, allowing the reader to sympathize with each character (McGuire 2). The grief over Jordan's death and the loss of Beth's affection forces Conrad on a journey to overcome his depression and recover his once happy adolescence.
Conrad is the troubled protagonist of Ordinary People. He is an ordinary boy living with his ordinary family, At least until his brother, Jordan, is unexpectedly killed in a boating accident. This tragic event begins the breakdown of the Jarrett's perfect lives. Conrad initially refuses to answer his call to cope with Jordan's death until his grief overwhelms him and he attempts suicide. Luckily, after surviving cutting his wrists and a brief stay in a mental hospital, Conrad gets another chance to deal with the loss of Jordan and lead a normal life. Ordinary People is the opposite of a coming of age Story. Conrad has already been through his life-changing moment and is now trying to regain his youthful innocence (SparkNotes: Analysis).
Although Conrad feels like he is taking this journey alone, he does have supporters that help him along. His father, Cal, acts as the motivation for Conrad's wanting to adjust back into society. Cal is a successful tax attorney, his partner envies Cal for having the perfect marriage. Cal is not quite over Jordan's death, but maintains the image that he is, while trying to help Conrad deal with Jordan's death. Cal tends to blame himself for what's wrong in his family (RaveCentral 1). | <urn:uuid:73a1cdc7-c138-4828-8300-7dd86d4ec444> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.exampleessays.com/viewpaper/26065.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.977631 | 386 | 2.359375 | 2 |
What is carbonated water?
Carbonated water (also acknowledged as carbonated water, fizzy water, sparkling water, club soda, water with gas or seltzer water, or seltzer water) is water containing liquefied carbon dioxide gas. It artificially gets injected under pressure, or that occurs as a result of a natural process of geology. Carbonation causes the formation of tiny bubbles that give the water an effervescent nature. Common forms incorporate sparkling mineral water, club soda, and commercially manufactured sparkling water.
You can get these at a natural water bottle supplier.
Club soda and sparkling mineral water, and some additional sparkling waters carry added or dissolved minerals. It includes potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, or potassium sulfate. It occurs typically in some mineral waters but is also usually added artificially to produced (and available at your local natural water bottle supplier) water to mimic the original flavor profile and offset the bitterness of the introduction of carbon dioxide. Some carbonated water gets sold in bottles and cans. Some even get produced on demand by commercial carbonation systems in bars and establishments or made at home using carbon dioxide cartridges.
Benefits of carbonated water
To make the water sparkling, it gets infused with carbon dioxide vapour under pressure. Carbonation makes it similar to a soft drink but with considerably fewer calories. Drinking mineral water can help prevent dehydration. If you are dehydrated, you may encounter dry mouth, fatigue, headaches, and decreased performance. Chronic dehydration can lead to digestive problems and heart and kidney complications. Sparkling water is just as moisturizing as regular water.
If you have trouble drinking water, sparkling water can be a good alternative. It gives more hydration and notably fewer calories than soda.
Staying hydrated is the key to losing weight. If you feel hungry, it could mean you are dehydrated, as your body cannot tell the difference. Drinking adequate water can boost you to feel full longer and devour fewer calories throughout the day.
Research proves that sparkling water can help digestion. A study with few participants discovered that drinking sparkling water eased heartburn and constipation.
Can develop swallowing ability.
Studies show that carbonated water can improve the ability to swallow in both young and old age. In one study, 16 healthy individuals got asked to repeatedly consume different liquids. Carbonated water exhibits the most effective ability to stimulate the tissues accountable for swallowing. Other studies have shown that the succession of cold temperatures and carbonation enhances these advantageous effects.
It can help alleviate constipation.
People suffering from constipation may discover that drinking carbonated water helps reduce symptoms. These bottles are easily accessible at naturally carbonated water supplier. In a 2-week study of 40 older people who had a stroke, the average frequency of bowel movements nearly duplicated in the group that drank carbonated water, contrasted with the group who drank tap water. There is also proof that sparkling water can improve other signs of indigestion, including an upset stomach.
Carbonated water has advantages for digestion. It can improve consumption, increase satiety and decrease constipation. You can get carbonated water from your local naturally carbonated water supplier. | <urn:uuid:16391a93-514d-49a8-be11-caeca034cba1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://wishwantwear.com/an-overview-on-getting-a-naturally-carbonated-water-supplier-for-its-health-benefits/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.933794 | 662 | 2.8125 | 3 |

Electrical Consumption: why is ac important • Consider a city such as Newark, DE. Assume that 30, 000 citizens wish to dry their hair at the same time; that would require approximately 50 MW (30, 000 x 1500 W = 45, 000 W). (The actual Delmarva Power Fall 1995 figure was a peak demand of 2500 MW for 400, 000 customers, yielding an average of more than 6000 W per user. ) • At 120 V, this power would require a current of I = P / V = 50, 000 k. W / 120 V = 400 k. A. A 10 -gauge wire (5 mm 2 cross-sectional area) can handle 30 A before overheating -- thus more than 13, 000 such wires would be required or a wire of diameter 15 cm, both physically unreasonable! • To deliver a particular amount of power, the current may be decreased by increasing the voltage, since P = I V. For example, boosting the voltage to 80 k. V results in a current of (50, 000 k. W)/(80 k. V)=600 A, a much more manageable value. The ratio of currents between 80 k. V and 120 V is 670 -- the energy lost in the transmission lines would be that ratio squared, approximately one-half million, since the power dissipated by the transmission lines is proportional to the current squared. • If a device exists that can raise or lower voltages while maintaining power, with very little loss of energy, then power can be transferred over greater distances with less loss. Electric power stations can thus be situated further from residential areas. Such a voltage conversion is difficult with dc; however, the conversion from one ac voltage to another is straightforward when the electrical component known as a transformer is used.
Transformer Transformation of Voltage: Transformers may also be used to transform impedances; e. g. coupling the output of a stereo amplifier (Rout ~ 1 kohm) to a speaker of 4 or 8 ohm impedance for maximum power transfer. Refer to pg. 794 of HRW for impedance matching applications. Transformation of Resistance:

WWII Comes to Life at Stearns History Museum [VIDEO]
ST. CLOUD -- Central Minnesota stepped back in time to the 1940s at a special event this weekend.
The Stearns History Museum teamed up with the Minnesota Military Museum in Little Falls to hold their first-ever living history exhibit on Friday and Saturday.
The limited-exhibit on World War II featured many indoor and outdoor activities including weapons demonstrations, a real Sherman tank, a vehicle parade, an obstacle course, lunch at the mess hall, trivia, codebreaking, and a scavenger hunt.
Curators from the museum say they plan on putting together more events like this one in the future.
The event runs through 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. The cost is $10 for adults, $6 for kids ages 5-17, and $5 for museum members. | <urn:uuid:f67e5113-4349-4990-a510-ca1cbb344a35> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wjon.com/wwii-comes-to-life-at-stearns-history-museum-video/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.923211 | 179 | 2.1875 | 2 |
The materials used in hard drives have been mostly the same for a few years and a big upgrade is long due. However, it’s hard to find something that can play the same role whilst giving a substantial increase in data storage. However, a research group at the University of Cambridge has claimed that they have advanced a leap forward in data storage by using graphene. They published their research in the journal Nature Communications.
The team claims that using graphene allows the hard drives to operate at a higher temperature and with a huge bump to data density. They claim that graphene hard drives can store 10 times more data than regular hard drives. Regular hard drives use platters that are coated with carbon-based overcoats or COCs to protect them from mechanical or corrosion damage.
The group at Cambridge replaced the COCs with one and four layers of graphene that has good strength and flexibility. The thinness of the graphene enabled significant space savings but also outperformed current COCs in preventing mechanical wear, reduced corrosion by 2.5 times, and also offered a two-fold reduction in friction.
The graphene allowed the hard drive to operate at higher temperatures which allowed the team to try out a new writing technique called Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording or HAMR. The new tech records data by heating the recording layer to high temperatures. This allows data bits to be far smaller and more tightly packed together while remaining stable.
According to Dr. Anna Ott from the Cambridge Graphene Centre, “Demonstrating that graphene can serve as a protective coating for conventional hard disk drives and that it is able to withstand HAMR conditions is a very important result. This will further push the development of novel high areal density hard disk drives”. Dr. Anna is also the co-author of the study.
The HAMR technique doesn’t work with conventional COCs because they can’t withstand the heat. The group concluded that the combination of the thin graphene, the space-saving from it, and the HAMR technique allowed for a data density of 10 terabytes per square inch.
This might also be a win-win for the environment as well because graphene can be produced from household wastes. | <urn:uuid:8d44c730-e189-4a87-b17c-05360f99eb41> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wonderfulengineering.com/this-graphene-hard-drive-can-store-10-times-as-much-data/amp/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.955051 | 450 | 3.578125 | 4 |
Temperatures have dipped over the past fews days and as cooler weather becomes more prominent, snow is on the horizon.
According to the Met Office, snow could hit the north of England as early as next week, with a further enhanced risk of snow from late next week onwards and during the last week of January.

The UK Outlook for Monday 14 Jan to Wednesday 23 Jan explains that: “After a colder, brighter interlude for many areas on Monday, a return to milder, cloudier conditions is expected by early Tuesday.
“Through Tuesday, rain and strong winds will move into the northwest, with gale force winds possible in the northeast.
“Generally rather unsettled conditions are likely to continue for the rest of the period, with spells of rain interspersed with colder, showery weather. Snow is likely on northern hills, and perhaps to lower levels in the far north.”
“Temperatures overall will be close to the seasonal average, but from late next week onwards there is a greater chance of cold spells giving more widespread frosts and an enhanced risk of snow, especially in the north and east.”
The end of January also looks set to see snow in the north of England, including the north east, with colder weather and increased likelihood of snow continuing in early February.
“During the last week of January and into early February, there is an increased likelihood of cold conditions being established generally across all of the UK,” add the Met Office.
“This would bring an enhanced risk of snow and widespread frost, especially in the north.”
This week’s weather forecast
Today is set to be “Cloudy with some patchy light rain, drizzle and hill fog in the morning,” said the Met Office.

Resources available as evictions loom with moratoriums ending
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - As more and more eviction moratoriums are lifted in the U.S., it has left residents looking for resources to help out. In the Fargo-Moorhead area, there are many programs available for those in need.
“So often times that looks like an eviction notice, utility disconnect.” said Emma Schmit, the housing director for Lakes and Prairies Community Action Partnership.
According to Schmit, this month has seen an increase in calls for help. Those calls include rental assistance, evection notices and utilities being turned off.
“About twice as many people have called than the previous month. That’s definitely an up tick in people looking for assistance.” said Schmit.
There are many resources available, from homeless shelters to groups that help with rent problems. To those that are willing to give a helping hand to those in need.
“People have been through a lot of trauma these last couple of years, especially. So being able to help support and contribute to the community and help people get back on their feet is a privilege.” said Schmit.
The COVID-19 pandemic put a strain on renters and landlords and providers in the F.M. area are trying to connect those in need to the resources that can help.
“The real focus is on eviction prevention, trying to keep people in their homes to get ahead of some of the evictions,’ said Schmit. “And also make the landlords whole too. Because we know there’s lots of landlords who haven’t gotten their rent paid and we want to make sure we’re connecting them with that resource too.”

One can call the police if they’ve been hurt in an argument. If the injuries are a result of domestic violence and it is in line with certain requirements and criteria, it is taken into consideration as domestic violence. This includes hitting or stalking. These aren’t only physical assaults, but also verbal attacks that could have severe consequences.
What is the definition of domestic Violence Defined?
Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects a lot of people in the United States. It can refer to physical or mental abuse inflicted by an intimate partner, such as husband, wife, and boyfriends/girlfriends among others; this type includes both inflicting bodily harm on another person (i.e., hitting) taking measures so they feel victimized with intent like pride – which often leads victims feeling more shame about themselves than before because it becomes known publicly at some time during those situations framing them accordingly even if falsely associated due-to evidence found.
It’s sad when someone is abused and manipulated by their ex-spouse. Although they might not know that, it’s clear abuse. Psychological distress can last for a long time after the court case has ended. There are various kinds of psychological harms that may occur during court proceedings, or even before marriage in the event that the couple was married.
Who can be charged?
There are numerous ways to be accused of abuse. Legal definitions of abuse could range from simple assault and battery in certain countries to more serious crimes like false imprisonment and the aggravated assault of a sexual nature. If convicted by law enforcement authorities, they will pursue charges against the accused. The verdict is largely based on the amount of evidence to support guilt or innocence as well any mitigating situations such personality disorders could present themselves through during questioning and other investigations.
Why would you require a criminal defense attorney?
The best way to preserve your liberty and keep out of prison is by hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Domestic violence is a serious problem therefore everyone should have the right legal representation. If there have been any past charges for any type of injury, not even one and a half years ago, then they need to hire someone who will fight against Sentencing Guidelines (or “Guideline calculation”) which may result in harsher penalties than the original punishment.
When false accusations are made against one’s client, their lawyer has to show their innocence through experience. A lawyer may be able to come to a plea bargain which would allow the sentence to be reduced. Although the tone of conversation should be professional however, there’s no reason to be discouraged or feel gloomy since both outcomes were not positive.
It is essential to know when you should end an argument so that you don’t get charged. Breathe deeply and try to get out of a fight that is getting too heated. For anyone who has been suspect of this crime, collaborate with a reliable criminal defense attorney in order to ensure they are tried properly. Going to the court without having a legal representation. This could result in costly.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has reported that it captured 1,031,645 new voters in its second National Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration exercise against a target of 4.5 million. The registration exercise came to an end on February 6, 2022.
In the first phase of the drive that ran from October 5 to November 5, 2021, the IEBC listed 1.51 million new voters, translating to about 25.3 per cent of its targeted six million voters. The Commission has attributed this hesitancy to young eligible voters who are said to have lost faith in the country’s leadership as successive leaders fail to implement projects that spur growth and create jobs leading to apathy.
The Commission marked the start of the 2022 General Election electoral cycle with the launch of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in Makueni County on October 15, 2018. From the date of the launch to August 31, 2021, the Commission had registered a total of 180,938 new voters. The Commission later rolled out an Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) exercise in all the 1,450 wards on October 4, 2021, at a launch held in Nakuru County. By the close of the exercise on November 5, 2021, a total 1,519,294 eligible Kenyans had been enrolled as voters.
In 2017 the Commission registered eligible Kenyans living in South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi as voters living in diaspora. For the 2022 General Elections, the Commission is registering voters in six more countries in the Diaspora voter registration exercise namely; the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, South Sudan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Germany.
In 2013, the registered number of voters was 14,388,781 and in 2017, the number of registered voters was 19,611,423. A total of 15,114,622 valid votes were cast with a voter turnout of 78% as compared to the 2013 presidential election, where there were 12,221,053 valid votes cast with a voter turnout of 86%. In the Fresh Presidential election in 2017, a total of 7,616,217 valid votes were cast with a voter turnout of 38.4%. Analysis of the presidential election results conducted on August 8, 2017, revealed a decrease in voter turnout as compared to the presidential election in 2013.
This should have been the first sign that Kenyans have lost faith in the electoral system. The question that is lingering is if this hesitancy can be fixed using voter education. Voter education is meant to empower citizens with the relevant information, knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to enable them to exercise their democratic and civic duties.
However, this exercise has challenges such as disbursement of voter education funds was not in line with the activities in the electoral cycle, change of electoral laws too close to the elections, having two voter educators per County Assembly Ward, irrespective of the size and terrain and voter education support materials were provided in Kiswahili and English while there were many voters who were not conversant with the two languages.
The low voter registration is probably a sign that there will be lower voter turnout this time round. Kenyan elected leaders usually abscond soon after elections, only to turn up five years later. This coupled with other issues such as graft and hopelessness call for a paradigm shift in the governments’ approach to matters of governance. The government should fund voter education throughout the electoral cycle in order to ensure it is a continuous process. The approach to governance should be evaluated so it builds confidence in the voting system. | <urn:uuid:28f6138e-b30f-4161-b196-1708e0f2e352> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://vellum.co.ke/future-of-politics-in-kenya-electoral-system-and-poor-leadership-blamed-for-voter-apathy/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967753 | 738 | 1.53125 | 2 |
Biodegradable honeycomb-patterned film composed of poly(lactic acid) and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine
Review articleOpen access

AbstractHoneycomb-patterned films have been reported to be useful for scaffolds of cell culture in tissue engineering. In the present study, we investigated a new compound, dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), a naturally derived phospholipid having unsaturated fatty acid moieties, as a surfactant for fabricating honeycomb-patterned poly(d,l-lactide) (PLA) film. Only DOPE among commercially available phospholipids was useful as a surfactant, and it showed good solubility in PLA/chloroform solution and an excellent property for fabricating honeycomb-patterned film (the concentration of DOPE was from 0.2% to 20% by weight based on the weight of PLA). The pore size of the honeycomb was uniform, and all pores were interconnected with each other. The contact angle of water on the honeycomb-patterned film was affected by the amount of DOPE. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (TOF-SIMS) data suggested that DOPE was concentrated on the surface of the honeycomb-patterned film. To investigate cell proliferation and adhesion on the honeycomb-patterned film, NIH3T3 fibroblast cells were cultured on the film. The NIH3T3 cells adhered well on the honeycomb-patterned PLA film with DOPE (PLA–DOPE) and showed good cell proliferation compared to that on honeycomb-patterned PLA film fabricated with a copolymer (CAP) of dodecylacrylamide and ω-carboxyhexylacrylamide (PLA–CAP).These results suggest that the honeycomb-patterned PLA–DOPE can be applicable as a scaffold for cells with better profiles in comparison with PLA–CAP.

Regenerative thermal oxidizers promote a chemical reaction at high temperatures typically ranging from 815&C (1,500 F) to 980&C (1,800 F) in order to destroy the air pollutants. By using ceramic media to promote heat and energy transfer, high-temperature thermal oxidation occurs as the polluted air is moved through heat-exchanging media, held in the combustion chamber, and finally released into the atmosphere.
The high sensitivity and very small lower detection limit enable the 50 ppm sensor to detect even minimal sulphur hexafluoride leaks with absolute reliability. Another typical application for the highly sensitive FLOW EVO SF 6 sensor (50 ppm) is detection of SF 6 in environmental simulations. Since sulphur hexafluoride is not present in the

What does the term Open Access mean?
“Open Access” is a term commonly used to describe free availability and unrestricted use of research and scholarship. Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge to the reader, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions, so there are no price barriers and no permission barriers.
The definition of the concept emerged from three conferences:
- Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities
- Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing
- Budapest Open Access Initiative
Also see: An Overview of Open Access
What are the benefits?
- Open access to state funded research should be shared. Since citizens have paid for it, they should be able to access it at no additional charge.
- Free access to scientific knowledge, information and data strengthens the basis for transfer (education), development (research) and valorization of knowledge.
- Most academic authors are interested in creating as wide a readership as possible; open access extends readership.
How do the economics of open access work?
Open access to research and scholarship is not free – there are costs involved in making research available. The economic models to support unrestricted access to research are still being developed; the common thread among the models is that open access research is available at no charge to all readers.
One model that exists is for there to be a payment when the author submits an article. Usually this charge to publish an open access article is covered by research grant funds.
Other economic models are also being experimented with. For example, some new open access publishers, such as the not-for-profit PLoS (Public Library of Science) or the for-profit BioMed Central, require author payments, but these can be waived for by institutions who´ve purchased a membership.
- Some journals are entirely open access; every article is available without restriction. Other journals are “hybrid” in that they are
- traditional subscription-based journals, but offer authors the choice to pay a fee to make their individual article freely accessible to anyone worldwide. The other articles in the journal remain accessible only through subscription.
- Some publishers offer all their titles under one kind of open access policy, and others have different policies for different titles.
Green & gold
- The chief difference between them is that OA journals conduct peer review and OA repositories do not. This difference explains many of the other differences between them, especially the costs of launching and operating them.
- There are other OA vehicles on which I won’t focus here, such as personal web sites, ebooks, discussion forums, email lists, blogs, wikis, videos, audio files, RSS feeds, and P2P file-sharing networks. There will undoubtedly be many more in the future.
- Most activists refer to OA delivered by journals as gold OA (regardless of the journal’s business model), and to OA delivered by repositories as green OA.
- The green/gold distinction is about venues or delivery vehicles, not user rights or degrees of openness.
Research Funders and Open Access Policy?
Several research funding organizations also have open access policies. To review these policies, see:
The ROARMAP list of the strongest funder and university policies
Article Publishing Charge (APC)
Publish Open Access for free in Bibsam Agreements
Parallellpublicering / Self Archiving
Full text versions of your documents can, in most cases, be attached to the record you submit to the institutitonal repository. This is called self archiving or in Swedish “parallell publicering”.
To make an article freely accessible you must be aware of the open access policy of the publisher. Information about most publishing companies’ policies can be found in the service Sherpa/Romeo, run by the University of Nottingham. Most publishers allow publishing of so-called postprints, the last edited author version of the article.
Information about conference proceedings is harder to come by, but big publishers like IEEE can be found in Sherpa/Romeo. The common rule is that the author version accompanied by a cover page that acknowledges the original article should be uploaded.
The library will monitor full text documents attached by BTH authors for copyright information, and attach cover pages when this is required; informing authors when adjustments have to be made in order to self-archive in a legal way.
OA journals and hybrid journals
You can publish in an open access journal. The business model used is based on that either the author or an institution pays a fee when the document is accepted for publication. A directory of journals using the Open Access model is available via DOAJ.
Also traditional publishers offers open access solutions for articles. These journals are often called “hybrid journals”.
BTH:s OA policy
In June 2007, the Vice-Chancellor decided that every scientific article (journal-, conference- or other peer-reviewed documents) published by staff employed at Blekinge Institute of Technology must be submitted as an electronic copy with bibliographic data, to the institutional repository of BTH when copyright rules or confidentiality provisions makes that possible. Researchers at Blekinge Institute of Technology should aim to publish research articles in Open Access Journals when appropriate titles are available. When this option is unavailable, publishers that do allow self archiving of post-prints documents should be chosen.
In recent years several illegal Open Access (OA) alternatives, so called. black OA have emerged. This is primarily an indication of dissatisfaction with the academic publishing system. Examples of these illegal text sharing resources are Library Genesis, Reddit Scholar, AvaxHome, Sci-Hub, and # icanhazPDF.
Most popular of these sites is Sci-Hub, boasting some 62 million academic papers. 80% of the downloaded papers comes from the 9 major science publishers in the world. In fact, it’s not only third world researchers sitting outside the paywalls that uses black OA. USA researchers are the fifth largest downloader after Russia and 25 percent of all Sch-Hub requests come from the 34 Member States in the OECD. In Germany, during the ongoing licensing dispute with Elsevier, a large number of researchers have used illegal text sharing sites to replace the blocked access to Elsevier’s journal offering at German universities. An article in Science (2016, Vol. 352, No. 6285) reports an interview survey, where approximately 11,000 respondents answered questions about their attitude to Sci-Hub. The answers were predominantly positive.
OA-publishers and Print on Demand in a grey zone
There are Open Access publishers that operate in a grey zone and you should therefore think twice before you submit an article to such a publisher. No matter what, always consider the following before you submit an article to any publisher you are not familiar with:
- Are the published articles by well known authors and/or well known institutions in the field?
- Who is in the “editorial board”?
- Is the contact details to the publisher listed in a proper way?
- Are the conditions “License to publish” fair? A useful resource on these matters is Jeffrey Beall´s “List of Predatory Open-Access Publishers” despite being archived and no longer updated.
- Think. Check. Submit. is a campaign to help researchers identify trusted journals for their research. It is a simple checklist researchers can use to assess the credentials of a journal or publisher.
The publishers below have used non-standard marketing and/or editing methods which could include badly targeted spamming to contact authors, shaky peer-review, low-standard contact information on web pages etc. If you are contacted by any of them, try to be extra observant.
Bentham Science Publishers
Scientific Journals International
Academic Journals use spamming to contact authors. Low standard of contact information on their web pages; authors are requested to sign away their copyright and few articles published in each journal.
Research India Publications
Publishes over 180 journals and using editors name without agreement, no information on the journal web-pages about the publisher. Be very cautious!
OMICS Publishing Group
Use spamming to contact authors. Low standard in several of their journals.
Concerning offers to publish Print on Demand
Now and then students and staff at BTH receive personal letters from LAP Lambert Academic Publishing AG & Co. KG (earlier VDM Verlag) in Germany, or other such companies, making offers to publish student theses, dissertations etc. as printed books. This has caused quite a few people to turn to the library for advice. Apart from the information you can find on the net by searching for “lap lambert” and find out what people write on their blogs or in different social forums, there are a few things we would like you to consider if you receive such an offer.
It is important to state that the author always owns the copyright to the text. Therefore it is up to the author to decide to publish or not, however, we do recommend that you contact your supervisor before you make a decision, just to make sure that your decision does not contradict any policy of the department. It is also vital to remember that disposition of the copyright can be limited if the rights have already been transferred to a scientific journal etc.
Lap Lambert is a so called vanity publisher. If you agree to their contract, you sign over the rights of your work. They charge a very high price for the copies, and give you a relatively small return. Their business model builds on this, that very few people will buy the copies, and those that are bought compensate for those who do not sell. With the recent print on demand process, vanity publishing has flourished again, especially as it is visible on Amazon and similar sites. To publish in this way for research is academic suicide. It means no one else will take you on. To do it as a student though is less serious, unless you want to use your work later yourself. On the other hand you stand to gain little except to show friends that you have been “published”.
- To carefully study the “Information for authors” that LAP attached to their offer. Just to make sure that this is something that you can agree on.
- If you decide to take the offer and LAP decides to publish, you will get a contract for signing. Make sure that the text in the contract corresponds with the information you received earlier on, so that you do not sign away more rights than necessary. Always make sure that you keep the right to publish your document on a university institutional repository.
- If you choose to publish with a so called “vanity publisher”, remember that you can not use the same text to write a scientific article later.
- Your thesis is already published in PDF-format at the BTH Institutional Repository DiVA.
- The dissemination of your document can not be better than it is at the moment, freely available via BTHs institutional repository DiVA.

Underwater Harsh Environment Inspection
Submerged in or near water, whether fresh or salt water, metals are susceptible to some of the harshest conditions. Steel and zinc are no exceptions. One steel has set the standards for submerged foundations. Hot-dip galvanized steel has been used for decades to construct dams, docks, piers, and even water treatment facilities under harsh environmental conditions.
Underwater Galvanized Steel Piers
It is essential to understand that zinc corrosion in water is a complex process influenced by various factors, including pH, temperature, and motion. Predicting the life of galvanized steel in any water condition is difficult due to the movement of water and varying content and conditions. Water types such as hard and soft water have different corrosion rates for zinc, and cooler seawater has a lesser corrosion rate. Zinc can form passive compounds on the surface of hard water and cooler seawater because of its ability to form inactive compounds on the surface.
Galvanized Steel Submerged in Salt Water
Natural zinc coatings extend the lifespan of steel along the waterfront and submerged structures, as well as not harming aquatic life. Future generations’ quality of life depends on sustainability, and water will become a coveted, vital resource in the future. The actions we take today must be planned so that they do not harm our precious water in the future. In using hot-dip galvanized steel, manufactured chemicals or other pollutants are not introduced to the environment, but zinc is naturally present in the water.
Galvanized Zinc Steel Structures in Hard Water
Most water infrastructure, including dams, drinking water, inland waterways, levees, ports, and water treatment, reportedly needs repairs and upgrades. Using better materials and considering life-cycle performance and costs is a meaningful way to learn from past mistakes. Galvanized steel is durable, long-lasting, and cost-effective for improving water infrastructure now and in the future.
Offshore Steel Structure Inspections
Structures offshore provide facilities and equipment necessary for exploration and production at sea. Besides withstanding environmental impacts, they can also withstand daily operational forces such as waves, currents, wind, and earthquakes. Effective inspection procedures must be conducted for these structures to be resistant to fatigue and failure. Under international and national codes, Foundation Masters specializes in offshore structures inspections and underwater non-destructive testing inspections.
Underwater Inspections, Maintenance, and Repairs
Our underwater inspection services are available for pre-design, post-construction, routine, and emergency projects at Foundation Masters. Our clients frequently tell us that one of the reasons they like Foundation
Masters is that we can rectify damage or defects if we discover them during an inspection. Many dive companies do not perform repair and maintenance, and engineering companies usually specialize in inspections. Consequently, you might have to hire one company for inspections and another for repairs. In most cases, Foundation Masters can perform these repairs or maintenance items while we are on-site to inspect the facilities. As a result, the Owner can save a considerable amount of money. Foundation Masters provides reliable information to decision-makers through inspections and diagnostics that utilize experienced people, specialized tools, and non-destructive technology.

Yesterday I described two masterpieces of the art of preaching Proverbs (click here to see post). Both the explanatory emphasis of the first and the applicational emphasis of the second affirmed the possibility of a full-length single saying sermon from the Proverbs. What were some of the key features of these sermons?
1. Repetition. In both cases the preachers repeated the main idea (the proverb) multiple times. It never felt forced or tedious, but it did tattoo the truths on the hearts of those listening. Proverbs are designed to be memorable. While we don’t have the memorability of the original language to aid us, repetition certainly helped.
2. Memorability. We don’t have sound-play in the wording like the Hebrew, but memorability can be achieved in other ways. In the first example Haddon Robinson achieved memorability by pursuing visualization. That is, through vivid description, the listeners could see what he described, and having seen it on the screen of their hearts, they wouldn’t forget. In the second example, Gene Curtis achieved memorability by a different type of sound-play. Not the sounds of the words, but the clever use of a repeated first line of a song. Actually, this musical marker was so effective in flagging up the need for the proverb because he ended the mini-rendition by tweaking the tune into a melancholic minor key each time – a refrain introducing the main idea each time.
3. Non-linearity. Neither sermon imposed what felt like a foreign sermon structure on the text. There was no overt three point with sub-point presentation involved. Both felt relaxed and slightly circular, yet on paper could have been defined using standard outlining, of course. There wasn’t the urgency of a narrative, or the driving progression in logic of an epistle. The structure seemed to fit the genre.
4. Application. Both sermons were marked by specific, tangible, relevant and vivid application. While the one placed greater emphasis on explanation, both felt absolutely preached to the listener, to mark the listener and to bring about transformation. I’m sure many of us could manage it, but surely it must be wrong to turn a practical, vivid, life truth, into an academic curio. It takes great intellect to make something simple and clear, but a lesser preacher can impress and confuse the listener. Hey, was that a contemporary antithetical distich? Nice.

Discover New Ways to Use Everyday Ingredients
- Leftover herbs
- Leftover tomatoes
- Leftover bread
Herby Ice Cubes
These little cubes of flavour pack a big punch. These are great to add flavour to soups, stews or sauces.
Blanch your leftover herbs in boiling water for 10 seconds and cool quickly under running cold water. This will keep the herbs bright green once frozen. Pulse in a blender until smooth with equal quantities of water then pour the mixture into your ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop out of the trays and place them in a plastic bag. They will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Oven Dried Tomatoes
The sun is in short supply but you’ll be surprised with the flavour of these oven dried tomatoes. They will last in your fridge for a couple of weeks – if you don’t eat them first!
Cut any old, soft or unused tomatoes in half and place on a baking tray and give them a drizzle of olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Place a thin slice of garlic, a few thyme leaves or mixed herbs and a pinch of sugar and sea salt on top of each tomato. Dry in a low oven (80°C) for about 8 hours. Place the tomatoes and any juices, in a clean air tight jar and top up with olive oil.
Absolutely irresistible! You wouldn’t think these tasty crackers started off as stale bread. They are perfect topped with cheese from our cheese counter and our Lancashire chutney, or with a dollop of pâté spread on top.
Remove the crusts off any leftover slices of bread. Roll flat with a rolling pin and cut the bread into fingers. Glaze each piece with a little oil or egg white and then sprinkle with your favourite seeds, herbs and spices. Place onto a baking tray and dry in the oven at 80°C for a few hours or until they are crisp. Store in an air tight container and they are good to keep for 3-5 days. | <urn:uuid:2d681a9e-5700-41d1-86b7-747694adfe58> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.booths.co.uk/recipe/discover-new-ways-to-use-everyday-ingredients/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.912128 | 440 | 1.609375 | 2 |
Pomegranate – Learn All About It!
“Pome” comes from the Latin word for apple, and “granate” from the word seed, which perfectly describes a pomegranate. These red, round fruits have thick and inedible skin but the interior is full of hundreds of juicy edible seeds. Also, they are actually just big berries!
In this week’s FarmBoxes, we are including a seasonal favorite: Pomegranates from Pedro’s Organic Ranch! While originated in the Middle East and Mediterranean, it’s now cultivated widely around the world, and locally in California and Arizona!
How Do You Eat a Pomegranate?
Pomegranates can seem a bit of a puzzle to eat due to their unique qualities, but they actually aren’t hard to eat at all! All you need is a knife, a bowl of water, and a pomegranate.
- Flip the pomegranate so you are looking at the crown. There will be about 6 ridges running down the fruit. Lightly score these with a knife (don’t cut all the way through).
- Over your bowl of water and facing away from you, break the pomegranate in half
- In the water, break the pomegranate at the score lines to create wedges. From there, you can take out the seeds (you can keep the pieces underwater to prevent the juice from getting all over you)
- The white pulp will float while the seeds will sink. Strain out the pulp and you’re left with little delicious gems!
Keep in mind that the juice is not to be messed with when it comes to staining! Work under the water so you aren’t staining everything in sight with the deep red juice.
How Do You Store a Pomegranate?
You can store whole pomegranates at room temperature for several days or in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for a few weeks. If they are seeded, the seeds should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.
What are the health benefits of Pomegranate?
Packed with nutrients, pomegranates are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They have a ton of fiber, protein, vitamins C and K, and potassium. Studies have shown that pomegranate has impressive anti-inflammatory effects as well as helping to lower heart disease and increase memory and brain function. They are a delicious superfood.
What’s the best way to eat Pomegranate?
Aside from eating the seeds as-is, they are great to toss into a salad, sprinkle onto yogurt, add them to smoothies or turn it into juice! The flavor is versatile enough to be a great addition to both sweet and savory dishes. | <urn:uuid:e9585ba4-2de2-489f-be08-f178868a4968> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://blog.grubmarket.com/pomegranate/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.928598 | 597 | 2.6875 | 3 |

As a small business CEO observed a window washer at the Atlanta airport one day, she asked what she thought to be a straightforward question, "What's the secret to window washing?" "No secret, ma'am," the window cleaner said as he continued working. "I just focus on keeping on with my tools and my experience. I keep on going."
The master continued working with repeated, slick motions, his tool remaining fixed to the glass, and leaving not one smudge. Then, true to his word, he kept on going.
When the CEO asked what was in the blue water, the cleaning professional smiled and said, "I can't tell you that! If you knew that, you could do my job!" Then, before attacking another pane, he said, "It is very special, though."
When a professional window cleaner uses just the right combination of resources—minimal tools; years of experience; a flowing, non-stop motion; and a secret concoction of suds—his or her work is efficient, engaging, and looks natural—perhaps easy—to those who observe.
Unlike the window washer, many team leaders don't find their work to be efficient, easy or appear natural. These leaders often do not have degrees in leadership; they are promoted because they are very good at their jobs. Their former colleagues and friends now report to these "peer leaders."
There is a skill to leading your former peers without encountering resistance, resentment and regret. When your toolbox contains a simple collection of thinking, communicating, and acting that is coherent, ordered and intentional, your leadership appears as if it is natural. When you're charged with leading a team of your peers or former peers, the right combination of resources makes all the difference. The following techniques should be at the core of every peer leader's toolbox.
1. Minimal tools keep you focused.
The most effective leader uses only one tool: his or her personality. One great peer leader uses his thirst for understanding and information. When a member of his team enters his office, he asks that person to be the teacher while he plays the role of student.
"Any questions I ask are merely a student asking," he explains. "Then, I never use the words 'I' or 'you'…I only use the words 'we' and 'us.' I want them walking out of my office feeling better than when they walked in."
By using the mindset of education, the pressure is removed from his "teacher" so that no question is off limits. This philosophy sets the tone for education and teamwork. If, instead, he were to use his intellectual curiosity to demonstrate that only he knew the correct answer, he could face resentment. The best peer leaders learn to harness their personality to inspire trust and teamwork.
2. Experience gives you credibility.
Just as window washers have well-exercised wrists, your team wants to see that you still need and relate to them. While your team is working to create the next product, researching relevant case law, or driving across town at a moment's notice to meet with a customer, they want to know that you're there with them. Sometimes that means that they want your hands working alongside theirs, and sometimes it just means that they want to know that you understand their daily routines, frustrations and joys. Regardless of which approach your team members prefer, they want you to guide them in the next, and right direction.
Your team will remember that you were there with them when you encourage. Today's culture makes it easy for bosses to find faults, but you will have much greater influence when you frequently ask this question of your team members: "You know what I liked about what you did (or said)?" Be relentless as you look to find the ways that their input, skills and contributions have benefited the entire team. This is always of interest to the receiver; no one has ever responded, "No, I don’t want to know what you liked!"
3. A flowing, non-stop motion is very intentional.
There are few things more beautiful than a leader who knows how and when to listen and where and when to speak; the times to agree and those to dissent; when to stay with the group and those other times when to go out on a limb. Just as the window washer intentionally follows a specific pattern, the successful leader never allows these moments to be chance events. Instead, they are always intentional. While employees sometimes want to be inquisitive, your peers want to be connected with you. With intimacy comes great trust and loyalty.
A consistent engagement with your team on a personal level (within the business environment) turns your role from that of a boss to one of a fearless leader, mentor, and teacher. This intimacy comes when you go beyond their favorite sports team to learn about their childhood passions, when you understand their family's immigration experience deeply affected their outlook on international business, and that their self-directed nature comes from their Eagle Scout training. To the inexperienced leader, these characteristics are mere factoids. The best peer leaders know that an understanding of these experiences and traits lead to unbreakable loyalty, an impassioned work-ethic and—most importantly to the company's owners—higher profits.
4. Your secret formula keeps you ever useful.
Famous chefs sometimes share their secret recipes, for they know what many of us have learned after carefully following the same recipe three times: there are just some techniques that can't be explained with words. Food rarely tastes the same way twice and rarely as good as it does in your favorite restaurant!
The window washer humorously refused to share the ingredients in his bucket for fear of being replaced. The best peer leaders are afraid that their talents and "secret concoction" may go unused, so they focus on how their team is furthering the company's mission. When leading a group of your peers, you must have a firm hold on the secret formula that lies within you. Ask your team members what they believe to be your "secret sauce," and be ready to listen without judging their responses. You may find that your team wants you to talk more at meetings, even though you might think you talk too much. Your team may want you to consult them but ultimately make a firm decision, while you may lead by consensus for you fear making decisions alone. When your team tells you what they want, find a way to do what they have asked!
Dolly Parton said, "Figure out who you are and then do it on purpose." All of what you do as a leader must be naturally intentional, obviously purposeful, yet elegantly skillful.

Concrete is a material with great formal potential, innovative strength and a poor appearance. In recent years it has gained a place of honor in interior design and acquired a highly aesthetic added value. It has in itself a cultural content that has made it a precious stone that selects admirers because it expresses and represents luxury in the form of understatement. Almost an icon of informal style, due to its unconventional identity, concrete is the ideal material for contemporary environments. Expertly manipulated for interior purposes, it is capable of creating unified and refined environments.
With this spirit the study of concrete products was born, capable of interpreting these concepts in a semi-industrial way and giving the opportunity to those who love unconventional aesthetics to create an ideal environment with ease. | <urn:uuid:206ad3b2-347d-41c1-a656-a3800809aafd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.moab80.it/en/materials/concrete/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.952574 | 148 | 1.8125 | 2 |

We've improved Rhino with the aim of helping you present your work: be it "quick and dirty" or "high-res glossy." With major changes to Rendering, Materials, or just plain capturing the viewport, it's now easier and faster to present, discuss, make decisions, and iterate.
Modeling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We've refined many parts of the documentation workflow, from a completely reworked annotation-style interface, to better DWG support, and RichText throughout. It's now easier to convey accurately and clearly the what and the how of your design.
Licensing & Administration
We have worked hard to make Rhino easier to install, license, and configure. There's a great new option to license Rhino using the Cloud Zoo. Please check out the new System Requirements as well under the system requirements tab.
Make2D has been completely rewritten to provide faster, better, cleaner, more customizable results.
Small quirks add up to painful paper cuts over the course of a prolonged modeling session. In Rhino 6, we've fixed hundreds of minor bugs and consolidated disparate - but similar - features into single commands, making Rhino much more refined.
Rhino is more than just a modeler. With a rich ecosystem of plugins and an open set of development tools, Rhino is quickly becoming the development platform for those seeking to push the envelope of design. Rhino 6 brings major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, better documentation, and more access to Rhino commands from Grasshopper. | <urn:uuid:abcfbed6-7f64-4c86-91a9-cf76c081b21d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://vray.us/rhino-7-edu.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571150.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810070501-20220810100501-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.921782 | 558 | 1.78125 | 2 |
Larry the Answer Guy: What are UT’s true colors?
As a UT graduate, I should know this, but when did the University of Texas change from orange (like Tennessee) to burnt orange? My guess is the early 1960s under Darrell Royal.
That would be a good guess — 1962 to be exact, USA TODAY reported in a 2014 story.
But that's not the first time the Longhorns used burnt orange, and, would you believe, the school at one time used the colors orange and, egad, maroon. Even Aggies might find that interesting, and that the colors came about by happenstance.
Here are some tidbits about UT's colors from an article on TexasSports.com, the website for UT athletics:
In 1885, the first UT baseball team had a big game in Georgetown. As a train was loading for the trip from Austin, two coeds wanted ribbons to identify the students as UT supporters. Their dates rushed to the nearest general store to buy any color ribbon they could get. The shopkeeper sold them the two colors he had the most of — white, which was popular for weddings, and bright orange, which no one wanted.
In 1893, the first 'permanent' football team wore gold-and-white stripped uniforms.
In 1895, the uniforms were changed to a 'masculine' orange and white.
In 1897, UT athletic teams wore orange and maroon, which were said to be easier to clean than white.
In 1900, students and faculty decided the colors in an election. Orange and white won over orange and maroon by 562 votes to 310. Royal blue was third with 203 votes.
In 1928, football coach Clyde Littlefield ordered uniforms in a darker shade of orange, which we today call burnt orange. Seems like the bright orange uniforms the team had been wearing had a tendency to fade to yellow toward the end of the season and opponents called the Longhorns the 'yellow bellies.'
In the middle of the Great Depression, the colors changed back to bright orange because the darker dye became too expensive or was in short supply.
In 1962, Coach Royal changed the colors back to burnt orange, but in 1966 regents were petitioned to change back to the 'true school colors,' according to the book '100 Things Longhorns Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.' After an eight-month study, a committee recommended leaving the colors alone. | <urn:uuid:590967e1-c86d-4fac-baed-d5e71a9b17d8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.reporternews.com/story/life/columnists/larry-zelisko/2016/10/02/larry-the-answer-guy-what-are-uts-true-colors/92368946/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967747 | 504 | 2.96875 | 3 |
The challenge before state governments now is how to use the autonomy provided by the Centre on opening up the lockdown within the new guidelines. Every state, including Uttarakhand, was involved in consultations in this regard on Monday, with some announcing their plans by evening. There is absolutely no doubt that, for many states, the bursting out of migrant workers from host cities for home has complicated matters considerably. Many areas where COVID-19 was almost under control have now become vulnerable to its spread. At the same time, the economy has reached a point where it can no longer be kept in suspended animation.
Even though the news, these days, is almost entirely focused on the corona challenge, there is not much information coming out on exactly why the virus is continuing to spread despite the lockdown and social distancing. Why does Delhi, for instance, which is strictly abiding by the recommendations, have rising numbers of patients? Could it be that reporting has improved, rather than the actual number of patients? Is it that asymptomatic infection has made its way across the community already and is showing up among the more compromised among patients? This would mean the mortality rate is even lower than is being stated at present.
There are those who are recommending that people begin to take personal responsibility on warding off infection, rather than have the system make the arrangements. This spotlights the Centre’s recommendation on children and those above 65 years of age being extra careful and staying as much at home as possible. Also, those directly involved in combating the infection have to be provided the best equipment possible, as well as other necessary facilities. Most others with healthier systems could be left to develop ‘herd immunity’.
One area of worry in this regard is the failure of testing to pick up to any substantial level. There has been a lot of positive reportage on test kits of various kinds and efficacy having been developed within India, but why are these not showing up where they are needed? Why hasn’t Uttarakhand, for instance, introduced group sampling faced as it is with the flood of incoming migrants? Another area of concern is the seeming failure of the system in utilising Ayurveda and other natural ways of boosting immunity. Recommendations are being made only on an individual basis – why are not studies underway on the potential for prevention and cure through this system? A multi-pronged approach to prevention and cure, even as the world awaits a vaccine, will prove particularly useful for the government and the system in gaining the confidence to reboot the presently comatose economy. | <urn:uuid:438b283c-c10e-4225-a3ee-dcb1fa90b443> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://garhwalpost.in/evolving-response/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.974289 | 523 | 1.859375 | 2 |
The UAE Ministry of Health, represented by its Health Clinics and Centers’ Health Education and Promotion Department, organised its third educational workshop in Sharjah last month, forming part of the ‘Healthy Restaurant’ initiative which saw the participation of 15 restaurants.
The first educational workshop was hosted in Ajman and gathered 15 restaurants participated, while 14 restaurants assembled for the second workshop in Fujairah.
The Healthy Restaurant initiative is part of another campaign, Raising Awareness about Various Lifestyles in Society, which was launched after a cabinet retreat. Dr. Fadila Mohammed Sharif, director of the Ministry of Health’s Health Education and Promotion Department, said: “Non-communicable diseases are one of the health challenges that the Ministry has given a high priority in the last few years because of the huge financial burden to the patients.
“Eating unhealthy food is one of the primary causes of these diseases. There is a growing trend towards eating out which is not exclusive to special occasions anymore. Raising awareness among consumers on what they are eating as well as encouraging them to make healthy choices has become vital. At the same time, healthy food should be readily available to help them make good choices, which is the basic aim of the initiative.”
Khadija Al Amiri, health educator for the Ministry of Health’s Health Education and Promotion Department, said: “The Healthy Restaurant initiative is a voluntary program that will enable individuals to make healthy decisions as well as encourage restaurants to offer healthy meals by improving their menus.”
“Interested restaurants can have their menus reviewed for nutrient analysis by the Ministry to offer at least two healthy meals for adults and one for children along with fresh juices. The Ministry will offer the required support through its nutritionists to not only develop healthy menus but also provide required training and education. In addition, the participating food establishments will be promoted by the Ministry’s various social media channels and its partners as healthy restaurants,” he added. | <urn:uuid:7384aada-78c0-4338-9dde-47959076b006> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.hotelnewsme.com/catering-news-me/third-healthy-restaurant-workshop-in-sharjah/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.970025 | 410 | 1.9375 | 2 |
Many employers have sought to stand down parts of their workforce without pay in response to the changing environment created by COVID-19. Strict requirements apply to do so validly under the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act). The recent Peninsula Grammar School decision demonstrates the Fair Work Commission’s approach of invalidating stand downs based on a mere reduction in available work.
Section 524(1)(c) of the FW Act allows employers to stand down employees without pay if they “cannot be usefully employed” in circumstances where there is “a stoppage of work for any cause for which the employer cannot reasonably be held responsible.” The Peninsula Grammar School’s decision to stand down two classroom assistants and a library technician under section 524 during Melbourne’s Stage 4 lockdown was successfully challenged by the Independent Education Union of Australia.
The school, which continued to operate and deliver remote learning during the stand down period, argued that the “stoppage of work” requirement under section 524(1)(c) does not require work to stop altogether. Commissioner Bissett said that while this may be the case, there must be some defined aspect of business activity with respect to which the performance of work has stopped. Mere disruption to the way work was performed was found to be insufficient. To the extent the library work and classroom teaching could be classified as distinct parts of the school’s business activities, the Commissioner held that, despite the reduction in available work, there was no stoppage as contemplated by section 524(1)(c) of the FW Act. The employees were therefore not validly stood down.
The school also claimed that there was a lack of any “useful” work available for the three employees to perform when the school returned to remote learning. Although it was clear that some of the work of the library had ceased, the Commissioner held it could not be said that there was no useful work to be performed. The school’s desire that certain library work not be performed, such as updating and maintaining the catalogue and relabelling books (work that was not a “high priority” for the school), did not support a finding that there had been a stoppage of work reasonably beyond the control of the school.
Commissioner Bissett was also critical of the school’s submission that the presence of the classroom assistants would be a “distraction” to teachers delivering online classes. Not only did this fail to address the question of whether or not there had been a cessation of the business activity the classroom assistants were involved in, but it strongly suggested that the removal of the classroom assistants from their roles was “a decision of the school” and “a matter within the control of the school.”
The decision resulted in the employees who were improperly stood down returning to work, and also opened arguments for the employees to claim unpaid wages for the invalidated stand down period and to seek to recover penalties for the failure to pay during that period.
The decision to stand an employee down is not one to be taken lightly. The effects on employees are significant and the prerequisites to implement a valid stand down are significant.
Employers cannot institute stand downs under section 524 of the FW Act due to a mere decline in business or reduction in the amount of available work because of a disruption to how that work is performed, as this is not enough to constitute the requisite “stoppage in work”.
There is a fine line between what will be considered to be a genuine lack of useful employment on economic grounds versus a decision taken by an employer to avoid additional, unexceptional costs.
Ultimately, stand down is not an automatic safeguard for employers against economic loss and not a decision to be taken solely to resolve financial strain. The prerequisites to take this drastic action must be satisfied.
The full decision can be found here.
If you have any concerns about whether your business has validly implemented a stand down, or whether it could do so, please contact our team to discuss.

Elevated helicopter landing pads at, for example, hospitals has to be protected according to different regulations in each country. In most countrys a fire suppression system is required. The design of such a fire suppression can be done in several different ways. For example:
- Electric fire water monitors with foam
- Water oscillating monitors
- Pop-up foam sprinklers
- Surrounding pipe with mounted foam sprinklers
In almost every scenario, the size of the largest berthing helicopter determines the capacity of the extinguishing system.
This also applies to helicopter platforms on offshore rigs where CAP437 dictates the capacities of the extinguishing systems. In these locations, the only transport alternative is often by helicopter to and from the rig. Normally, there is no other way to extinguish a fire effectively than with a fixed extinguishing system at the landing site.
Incendium has been involved in several projects concerning both land based elevated helipads and offshore helipads. | <urn:uuid:8d4e18f1-61a6-49b9-8bd8-55ba74f01477> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://incendiumfire.com/helideck/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.928604 | 198 | 2.0625 | 2 |

Summer is a busy time in DuPage County, but many of the area’s busiest residents are so small they almost go unnoticed, even though they’re performing one of the most important jobs on the planet.
Native insect pollinators — butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, hornets, beetles, flies — spend this time of year in backyard gardens, commercial landscapes and natural areas gathering pollen and eating nectar. As they fly from bloom to bloom, they move pollen within and between the flowers. It’s an unintended consequence but by no means an insignificant one: Over 80 percent of flowering plants cannot produce seeds and fruit without this pollen exchange. It’s as vital to them as the rain and sun.
But everything isn’t sunny for native pollinators facing threats from habitat loss, invasive species and insecticides. The good news,though, is they have a strong ally: the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, which is not only improving habitats so these insects have suitable places to live but also focusing on the needs of specific species.
For over 20 years the District has worked to counter the decline in local populations of monarch butterflies by planting milkweeds, a monarch caterpillar’s only source of food. For many years at nearly a dozen sites, crews have spread more than 50 different mixes of native seeds containing milkweeds.

Today, nine types of the plant grow on about 30 percent of the county’s nearly 26,000 acres of forest preserves, including at Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn, where extensive efforts have created a nationally registered Monarch Waystation. The District helps residents create their own backyard havens by handing out 8,000 free packets of a special seed mix available each year at our six education centers: Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton, Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center in Oak Brook, Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook, Kline Creek Farm in West Chicago, St. James Farm in Warrenville and Willowbrook Wildife Center. Packets are also available at our Danada headquarters in Wheaton.

But more than monarchs are on the District’s radar. Since 2010 ecologists have been studying the county’s only known population of rare Baltimore checkerspot butterflies. They’ve planted the white-flowered turtlehead to provide more food for checkerspot caterpillars but are also capturing, marking and releasing individual butterflies to estimate the size of the checkerspot population. By using statistics to compare marked and unmarked males and females, they’re generating valuable demographic data they can use to determine if future breeding and reintroduction efforts might help stabilize the regional population.
At Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve in Naperville, the District has planted another caterpillar favorite, arrow-leaved violet, to increase habitat for the striking but state-threatened regal fritillary. The butterfly has not been recorded in DuPage, but with nearby populations in Cook County, the District hopes it can increase the likelihood this rare butterfly will find a suitable home here.

District employees aren’t the only ones doing pollinator legwork. Since 2000 volunteers in the field have been collecting invaluable long-term data on butterflies and rare plants critical to their survival. Others have been in the preserves year after year collecting milkweed seeds by hand to help ensure plants the District adds to higher-quality habitats come from stock fit for DuPage conditions.

Of course butterflies aren’t the only pollinators. Bees do more than their fair share, and while honeybees have sadly been in the headlines, other species are making more positive news. In 2014 the District identified a rusty-patched bumble bee in DuPage, the first known occurrence in the county. Once found across most of the eastern and central United States, this imperiled species has disappeared from over 80 percent of its former range and is currently listed as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Its presence in DuPage speaks volumes about the health of local ecosystems — and is a good sign for every one of the county’s busy pollinators.

(Haiti) Degeance is unique, and different from any of our other schools. Not all of the structures on this campus are made from permanent concrete walls yet; the classrooms have dirt floors and walls made from woven banana leaves. You can now drive to Degeance. Preschool through 6th grade students attend this school, and the majority of them walk long distances, sometimes even an hour or two, just to get to school each day. Their families live off the land and live in small one or two room homes.
Degeance school was on the side of the mountain for years. Many who have visited in the past remember this view approaching the school’s old location. | <urn:uuid:3236f28e-27f0-4c8b-927d-b4ce95aeef4f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ourmissionispossible.org/degeance-2/?doing_wp_cron=1660339111.5834090709686279296875 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.974828 | 143 | 1.5 | 2 |

You can now make Luna Lovegood's wand with this fan-made DIY tutorial
Crafty Potterheads will certainly appreciate this: A YouTuber named CottonBun has created an excellent DIY tutorial on how to make Luna Lovegood’s wand. Even if you already own a Harry Potter wand, it’s good to have a backup in case anyone challenges you to an impromptu wizard duel. Also, Lovegood’s uniquely shaped wand is perfect for those who want one strictly for cosmetic purposes.
According to JK. Rowling’s notes on wand cores, Mr. Garrick Olivander primarily used unicorn hair, dragon heartstring and phoenix feather as a part of his signature wizard handiwork, which presents a bit of a challenge for would-be wandmakers who are also Muggles.
Luckily, YouTuber CottonBun’s DIY tutorial on Lovegood’s wand won’t require you to go shopping in Diagon Alley.
If you’ll recall, Lovegood owned two wands. Not much is known about their cores or what wood was used to carved them, but the original featured acorn etchings while the second has a spring-inspired, tulip-shaped handle.
CottonBun’s nifty tutorial pretty much nails the tulip design. In addition to using a knitting needle for the body of the wand, the other tools are: sand paper, milliput clay, sculpting tools, acrylic gloss gel and brown acrylic paints.
It’s kind of an ambitious undertaking, but the results are pretty fantastic. CottonBun begins by sanding down the point of the needle, then she removes the ball at the top. Afterwards, she mixes and kneads two equal parts of clay until they’re fully blended into a single color.
Then she uses her hands to create the tulip shape.
Afterwards she continues to shape the tulip with her fingers and adds decorative touches with a tool before painting the wand. You have to see the full tutorial to witness the magic CottonBun creates with clay and a knitting needle.
Love it! This wand is giving us wonderful witchy feels, and we’re almost positive it would meet Luna Lovegood’s approval. | <urn:uuid:42257ce8-7c25-4fbf-a293-01aedc1ef5ec> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://hellogiggles.com/reviews-coverage/movies/make-luna-lovegoods-wand-harry-potter-fan-made-diy-tutorial/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.908755 | 474 | 1.90625 | 2 |

Can't decide where to live? Fascinating tool tells you which city you should REALLY live in based on how often you socialise and how much you earn
- Tells you which of 63 cities in England, Scotland and Wales best suit you
- The answer is the one which best mirrors your lifestyle and taste
- Questions include how old you feel, how much you earn and like going out
If you can't figure out whether you belong in the sticks or the city, a clever new tool may well have the answer.
An interactive quiz aims to help users discover which of the 63 cities in England, Scotland and Wales best mirrors their lifestyle and taste.
Users answer six questions and the three best-suited cities are then revealed, along with the reasons why each one is a desirable prospective location for them.
Finding the dream city involves configuring 756 data points in millions of ways, taking into account everything from relationship status to household income.
The quiz, which was created by Web Blinds, explains: 'Imagine a better life, with all the things you love on the doorstep Do you long to live in a city that mirrors your life and tastes? Maybe you want a big-city vibe or a coastal setting or an exciting nightlife. It’s time: go find the best city for you.'
The first question asks your geographical preference - whether that's the North, Midlands or South. Next, you're asked 'how young do you feel?', followed by your relationship status.
After that, you have to reveal your household income, how often you like going out, whether you 'like it quiet or love the big-city thunder' and how much you like the great outdoors.
An interactive quiz aims to help users discover which of the 63 cities in England, Scotland and Wales best mirrors their lifestyle and taste. It asks questions such as 'how young do you feel?' and asks you to select your relationship status
It also asks you to reveal your household income, how often you like going out, whether you 'like it quiet or love the big-city thunder' and how much you like the great outdoors
The tool will then work out which city you're best suited to and what it has to offer you - plus two extra options if you're not keen on the first.
For example, Brighton is described as 'having it all'. 'A strong economy and great employment opportunities; a jam-packed cultural calendar; the South Downs just moments away and, of course, the beach,' reads its description.
A spokesperson for Web Blinds, who created the quiz, said: 'Dreaming of finding the city that perfectly matches your tastes and lifestyle is all very well, but taking the big step and moving there requires a more detailed thought process.
'By applying data to dreams, it’s possible to truly understand why a city is the best place to live.'

A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway, is a story about love and war. Frederic Henry, a young American, works as an ambulance driver for the Italian army in World War I. He falls tragically in love with a beautiful English nurse, Miss Catherine Barkley. This tragedy is reflected by water. Throughout the novel Ernest Hemingway uses water as metaphors. Rivers are used as symbols of rebirth and escape and rain as tragedy and disaster, which show how water plays an important role in the story. Rivers in A Farewell to Arms represent rebirth.
They symbolize a departure from a previous life and an entrance to a new one. The first evidence of this comes during the retreat of the Italian troops from their post. While walking with his fellow soldiers, Frederic is arrested and fears that he will be executed. He jumps in the river with a splash allowing it to float him along. It is like when Frederic jumps in the river, he is baptizing himself and cleansing his soul. The trip down the river gives him time to think about his future life with Catherine, even though he is uncertain if there will ever be a future between them again.
The river eventually takes him to a railroad where he makes the decision that he is done with the war and that he made his farewell to arms. Hemingway uses water as a metaphoric cleansing for Frederics past experiences. When Henry emerged from the river, it was as if he was reborn. Rivers in this novel can also be a symbol for an escape. Weeks later, when Frederic hears from the barman about his expected arrest, he and Catherine escape for Switzerland by boat. They leave their old lives behind in search of a clean start in Switzerland. They row along the river, finally reaching their destination.
Upon their arrival they are arrested, but then quickly released. It was again as if the river has established an opportunity to lead a new life, away from the war in Italy to a more comfortable life. Henrys and Catherines escape through the river not only leads them to a better life but the unborn child, too. As a symbol of tragedy rain is frequently used by Hemingway in this novel. Rain is a symbol of disaster already beginning in the first chapter when the reader learns that the war is not going well and that the the permanent rain brought the cholera. Here rain is related to illness.
Rain also falls when Frederic and Catherine are looking for a hotel room so they can be together before Frederic must leave for the front. Catherine buys a nightgown for the evening. And when they find a room, she looks in the mirrors and feels cheap, while Frederic looks outside at the storm. The rain degrades the farewell of Frederic, and Catherine tells him that [she] never felt like a whore before. Rain also falls during the troop’s retreat which is symbolizing a failure. One night when Catherine and Frederic are in the hotel in Italy, Frederic awakens to the sound of rain and learns that he will be arrested.
And during their time of escape from Italy to Switzerland it is very windy and rainy. That symbolizes how their escape would definitely be difficult. It takes them many hours to row to Switzerlands shore. A second role that rain plays in A Farewell to Arms is to reflect death. On a rainy day when Frederic is recovering from his injury, Catherine describes the weather as scary. She tells him that she is afraid of the rain because sometimes [she] sees them dead in it. This may be interpreted as meaning that rain is an omen of death.
And Hemingway foreshadows through this sentence how rain will symbolically impede and end their relationship. When the time comes for Catherine to have her baby, it is raining again and it continues to rain during the delivery. It is still raining when she and the child die, which proves Catherine’s fears to be correct. Hemingway uses rain as a sign of death, sadness or to give one of his characters the state of being afraid. The despair brought by rain, Frederic says good-bye to [Catherine], and then [leaves] the hospital and walk[s] back to the hotel in the rain.
The rain described as he walks home represents again a cleansing in which Tenente will be forced to start a whole new life now. Ernest Hemingway uses water as a metaphor that foreshadows events in A Farewell to Arms. He distributes water through the entire story. Escape, or a cleansing effect, of Frederic Henry takes place in a river. Rain predicts unfortunate events, such as the death of Catherine, which causes Frederic to sadly begin a new life. However, this time he does not have a companion – he must learn to survive alone. Hemingway uses a lot of water to show many symbols and affect the story. | <urn:uuid:570f3f27-8475-411f-b173-a3493a0e5595> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://benjaminbarber.org/water-symbolism-throughout-the-novel-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.97492 | 1,004 | 3.15625 | 3 |
HBCU Insights: A guide to maximizing your HBCU experience
A column by Larry J. Walker
Over the next several weeks thousands of students will arrive at private and public HBCUs throughout the nation. A new cadre of scholars will continue the tradition of contributing to education, literature, politics and science. However, the beginning of the school year includes a variety of challenges for students. For instance, anxious first generation college students may struggle balancing the expectations of family members and peers while adapting to a different environment. Students transferring from another post secondary institution have to meet the expectations of faculty members while developing relationships with classmates. By contrast, returning students fresh from a summer internship, international travel or vacation will easily transition into their respective on or off campus housing. The varied experiences of each group add to the overall campus environment and offer opportunities for students to connect. Maximizing academic and social experiences at an HBCU can propel the career of new and returning students. Since their inception HBCUs have successfully prepared students to challenge injustices and overcome economic and political barriers.
Throughout the Civil Rights era students and alumni of Lincoln University, Morehouse College, Howard University and Shaw University successfully challenged discriminatory policies. Today, HBCUs continue the tradition of fighting for social justice by challenging students to defy conventional thinking regarding ethnicity, gender and race. Embracing HBCUs distinguished history of fighting injustices represents one of the many benefits of attending these institutions. For example, students benefit from enriching social experiences including homecoming, step shows, pageants, student organizations, fraternities and sororities, rallies and protests. Although HBCUs offer rich social experiences they provide a roadmap for budding entrepreneurs and change agents.
Ensuring students capitalize on opportunities to network with future corporate leaders, venture capitalists, social activists, app developers and trendsetters are crucial. HBCUs provide nurturing environments that allow students to develop strong relationships with peers while simultaneously examining important issues including income and health disparities. New students have the opportunity to interact with administrators, faculty members and staff developing cutting edge technologies, supporting emerging leaders and eradicating deadly diseases. In addition, HBCUs provide Black students with safe campus communities that embrace cultural diversity and beliefs. Supporting certain cultural norms including communalism makes HBCUs unique in comparison to other post-secondary institutions. For this reason, students should become actively involved in a variety of activities to fully embrace the HBCU experience including:
- Joining student government, clubs, honor societies, Black Greek lettered organizations (BGLOs): Participating in on campus student organizations provides vital training for individuals interested in a career in public service. Furthermore, members of student government develop important skills that are transferable to the workforce and help students’ identify and address pressing issues. Honor societies offer scholarships, opportunities to network with scholars from other schools and give students a competitive edge when applying to graduate or professional school. BGLOs traditionally refer to members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council including Alpha Phi Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma, Iota Phi Theta, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho. Each organization has a long and distinguished history of fighting for equal rights throughout the globe.
- Continuing the fight for social justice: The majority of HBCUs have chapters, groups or individuals involved in important issues including the National Association of Colored People (NAACP), #BlackLivesMatter, National Urban League, National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and 100 Black Men of America among others. Joining an organization focused on closing inequities is consistent with the history of HBCUs.
- Research opportunities with faculty, staff and off campus institutes and think tanks: HBCUs have a distinguished intellectual history of cultivating the minds of young academics dedicated to solving important issues. Continuing the tradition of challenging economic, educational, political, social and technological issues is vital. Ambitious student’s interested in examining important issues benefit from opportunities interacting with knowledgeable experts in various disciplines. Furthermore, working with a mentor establishes relationships that could lead to research and/or publication opportunities after college.
Students attending HBCUs have the chance to honor the memory of alumni that fought to address national and international issues including Kwame Nkrumah and Martin Luther King, Jr. Recent incidents including the murders in South Carolina highlight the importance of working together to solve problems that continue to persist. It is imperative that students utilize opportunities to interact with individuals with similar interests. Establishing relationships with peers could led to addressing systemic issues that undermine efforts to create an egalitarian society.
Dr. Larry J. Walker is an educational consultant focused on supporting historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). His research examines the impact environmental factors have on the academic performance and social emotional functioning of students from HBCUs. | <urn:uuid:62a4035b-f890-4603-9721-2156fdfe62a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.theedadvocate.org/hbcu-insights-a-guide-to-maximizing-your-hbcu-experience/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.930782 | 998 | 2.203125 | 2 |

Newly identified bacteria cleans up common plastic | Ars Technica
Newly identified bacteria cleans up common plastic | Ars Technica "PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a plastic with good mechanical, barrier, and optical properties. Bottles for water and soft drinks are just a couple of PET's many, many uses. PET is a polyester compound with a high aromatic content, which makes it chemically inert. As a result, it is typically considered resistant to microbial degradation, although certain fungi grow on a mineral medium containing PET. Roughly 56 million tons of PET are produced each year, and a lot of that ends up in the environment."

Case-Study: Effectiveness of PPH
So Jaylen is really thinking ahead in terms of different possible strategies for his study. He is considering his sampling, and is planning on using an experimental design. What kinds of conclusions he may or may not be able to draw from his study? If he uses the stratified sample, then he is sure that he has nurses with different experience levels in his sample. He might be interested in these specific grouping and want to draw conclusions about the impact of the simulation education on their nursing skills. On the other hand, Jaylen may not be able to select individual nurses. He may have to offer the training to an entire group of nurses, making the cluster sample more practical. This strategy might limit his ability to make generalizations based on the characteristics he would have stratified.
There is no right or wrong answer to how to sample, researchers, particularly those in the social sciences, often have to work within certain limitations of their resources or access to participants. Sampling designs may be necessary given those limitations. However, given infinite resources, sampling can be a very complex process, but ensure that the groups of interest, along with all confounding variables are taken into consideration. Most research is typically somewhere in between. Importantly, this does not make this research any less valuable, as long as we apply our growing knowledge of statistics and understand the appropriate limitations we encounter. | <urn:uuid:1ca46681-086c-4b9a-aa62-756b2b1f182d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://online.stat.psu.edu/stat800/book/export/html/746 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.971732 | 294 | 3.09375 | 3 |
HR influences workplace culture and plays a significant role in assisting a company’s culture to remain relevant. Corporate culture is not fixed – it grows with changing industry forces, workplace norms, demographics, and other factors. It’s relatively easy to evaluate your company’s culture and use that information to inform future decisions, notes the Society for Human Resource Management. “You can use various feedback tools and pulse engagement to identify cultural details in every department, every week,”.
Your organization’s culture affects everything from brand reputation to engagement, morale, and even productivity. For HR managers, it’s essential to understand how culture affects the bottom line and what measures a company can employ to regularly assess how their cultures are performing.
Company Culture Dynamics
Company culture can be identified across multiple levels of the organization. It is reflected in the operational methods that guide your team’s day-to-day approach to tasks, and in how managers relate with other employees. Company culture can be team-driven, collaborative, conservative, hyper-focused, or include a plethora of other characteristics. “Organizations with enterprising cultures have higher profits, productivity, and performance than those without,” reports SHRM.
Ideally, HR managers should remember:
- Cultures evolve and are influenced by various factors
- HR managers have a direct impact on the organization’s culture
- It’s possible to assess company culture and use this information to measure workforce effectiveness and engagement
When you want to know if your company’s culture is changing, there are numerous ways to assess that and change the course of this evolution if needed:
Different generations have different expectations and desires concerning a company’s culture. Currently, many organizations have four generations working alongside each other. Millennials are playing a more significant role as baby boomers transition to retirement. Because of this, HR managers need to assess how each generation’s needs and expectations shape an evolving workplace culture – and whether existing values resonate. HR talent managers should also determine whether their current organizational culture is healthy, or whether new programs need to be created – such as increased mentorship.
A company’s culture doesn’t exist on its own. The tone is determined by the organization’s leadership, but it’s also influenced by various external parties. A shortage of skilled labour, a tight job market in the industry, political factors, evolving norms in the industry, and other elements can affect your organization’s culture and make it increasingly vital.
Consider industry trends that may affect your workplace culture. For instance, if your organization must allow employees to work remotely in order to lure talent into a competitive job market, then it may be time to adopt telecommuting policies and flexible scheduling.
Technology also affects your workplace culture. As organizations expand their operations across the world, teams have to work across different time zones, geographies, and cultures. Collaborative tools are becoming more and more important in this conversation. If you’re falling behind in employing technology to help support your workplace culture, this may be the best time to evaluate how technology can help you improve the culture in your organization.
Are your employees sufficiently engaged in the workplace? Understanding employee engagement can help you determine how good your company culture is. When employees are probably engaged, they’re more likely to understand your mission and be more productive. If the strategic evaluation shows low engagement, it may be time to look for specific aspects of your workplace culture that can be changed to better suit your team – from improving your management style to clarifying your purpose. | <urn:uuid:9bae9e3b-350c-4c38-a642-5f915615c317> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mayfairstravel.com/hrs-influence-on-workplace-culture/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.931585 | 757 | 1.734375 | 2 |
Micron and Intel have been under fire due to the lack of details surrounding the 3D XPoint launch. The company provided the now-infamous rough guidelines of "1000x faster and 1000X more endurant than NAND, with 10X the density of DRAM" but did not reveal the underlying technology, or anything else for that matter. Intel also embarked on a traveling roadshow of ambiguous 3D XPoint demonstrations of its new product, which didn't do much to quell the criticism.
Now, Micron has pulled back the veil on many of the details of its new line of 3D XPoint products at the Flash Memory Summit.
Micron branded its new 3D XPoint SSDs as QuantX (quantum leap), and unlike Intel with its Optane products, the company was surprisingly frank on many aspects of the technology. We still do not know the base materials or even the precise definition of the technology, but we learned many of the key specifications of the product at the show. Let's start with the hardware.
Micron QuantX Development Board
Micron designed the NVMe QuantX prototype SSD as block-based storage, and although both Intel and Micron have teased wafers before, the four chips on the two daughterboards are the first 3D XPoint packages we have seen in the wild. The packages are unmarked, but the overall capacity of the PCIe 3.0 x8 card weighs in at 128 GB. We are unsure if there are more packages on the board, as our time with the prototype was short.
If there were only four packages on the board, it would equate to 32 GB per package. Micron noted that 20nm 3D XPoint would feature a die density of 128 Gbit (16 GB) per die, so that implies that each of the four packages features a two-die stack. Achieving the ability to stack the die successfully is itself an important part of the maturation process.
The 128 Gbit capacity is a far cry from the 384 Gbit (48 GB) density of Micron's 3D TLC NAND. Micron's 3D NAND does have the highest capacity per die than competing NAND types, but it features 32 layers. 3D XPoint is currently a two-layer design, and the company indicated that it expects the density to increase as the technology matures.
Micron used the yellow sticker below the fan to hide the name of a partner that the company wasn't ready to reveal, and the large fan in the middle sits over a large as-of-yet undisclosed FPGA. Five Micron DRAM packages flank the FPGA, which is interesting because it indicates that Micron is likely using some form of a standard FTL (Flash Translation Layer) that manages the L2P (Logical to Physical) address map. Micron may also be using the cache to absorb incoming write traffic, but that is doubtful considering the high-endurance nature of the underlying 3D XPoint. It shouldn't require as much data massaging as regular SSDs to defray endurance issues.
There are also two visible rows of capacitors. Micron likely uses the capacitors to flush the data held in the DRAM cache to the 3D XPoint in the event of an unexpected power loss. 3D XPoint is a persistent storage medium, so it will not need capacitors.
The end of the card reveals a QFSP+ connector for an NVMe over Fabrics and a row of status LEDs. There also appears to be an Ethernet port (possibly for out of band management) and a traditional SAS connection on the top of the card, but with prototype boards, it is common to find a wide variety of ports that don't make it to production.
Micron noted that the QuantX SSD, which it designed to be a normal storage volume, provides 10X+ performance of NAND at low queue depths, a 10X+ faster response time than NAND, and 4X+ the memory capacity per CPU than DRAM.
Micron's first real-time test compared the read and write latency of a NAND-based SSD, which occupies the top of the chart. The NAND write operations require 200 microseconds, and the read operations require an average of 100 microseconds. QuantX write latency (at the bottom of the chart) weighs in at 20 microseconds, while reads require only 10 microseconds.
Micron presented a few charts that revealed stunning performance and scaling under light workloads. The first chart shows a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection with several QuantX SSDs. The workload consisted of a 70/30 mixed read/write 4K random workload. The yellow line along the bottom of the chart highlights the performance with a typical 1.6 TB NAND-based enterprise NVMe SSD, which topped out at a "mere" 200,000 IOPS at QD32. The 3D XPoint SSD positively blows that performance away with 900,000 IOPS during the same workload, but the main takeaway lies in the incredible scaling under light load; the 3D XPoint SSDs saturate the x4 connection at QD4.
We love to see the performance of SSDs under heavy load, but the overwhelming majority of workloads, even in heavy-duty enterprise environments, rarely exceed QD8. NAND-based SSDs require a heavy load to reach their top speed, which means that most applications utilize only a fraction of the actual performance available because the workload is not intense enough to tease out the full performance. We focus on low QD performance in our enterprise SSD tests because delivering the full performance under light loads provides a real performance boost to normal use cases.
Another interesting trend is that larger NAND-based SSDs typically offer higher performance with higher capacities, which exposes more NAND packages to the incoming commands (parallelism). The chart actually includes the test results of four QuantX SSDs with varying capacities, but they all provide the full performance under light loads, so the results overlay each other. Normal NAND-based SSDs have less performance with smaller capacity points, so many users purchase unneeded capacity on large SSDs simply to reach the higher level of performance. Even a 200 GB QuantX SSD saturates the x4 bus at QD4, which means users will get more performance with less capacity, which reduces cost.
The second chart is an identical test with an x8 connection. The wider PCIe pipe provides more throughput, so the QuantX SSDs require more load to saturate the interface at 1.8 million IOPS. The QuantX SSDs exhibit a similar scaling trend during the test but reach maximum performance between QD8 and QD12 for the 1.6 TB, 800 and 400 GB capacities, whereas the 200 GB SSD tops out at QD16.
Facebook Provides Real World Results
Facebook, which is already working to deploy 3D XPoint into its architecture, also joined in the benchmarking party by revealing its performance results with an Intel Optane SSD prototype. The Optane SSD tripled the number of transactions that the company achieved with a normal P3600 NAND SSD during a RocksdDB throughput test, but more importantly, Optane reduced the 99.99th percentile results (worst-case latency) by more than 10X. The increase in performance is impressive, but the drastic reduction of errant I/Os will be a boon for intense transactional workloads. Facebook noted that Intel measured the results.
How Are They Doing It?
We posed a few questions to Micron during a Q&A session to determine the root of the high performance, particularly under light load. NAND manufacturers boost performance by splitting the die into several planes, which are separate sections of the NAND that respond independently to incoming program/erase commands. Planes increase performance by enhancing parallelism. NAND vendors often split die into two planes, whereas Micron split its 3D NAND into four planes.
Micron confirmed our suspicions and responded that, although the 16 GB 3D XPoint die isn't split into what would be considered "normal" planes, each die features 64 regions that can independently respond to program/erase commands, which is analogous to a 64-plane architecture. This built-in parallelism allows each 3D XPoint die to respond to data requests with a similar amount of parallelism as 16 entire NAND dies.
Why So Slow?
The performance specifications, though impressive, are far below the promised "1000X the performance of NAND," but Micron representatives indicated that the company based these statements on the speed of the actual storage medium (at the cell level) before it is placed behind the SSD controller, firmware, software stack and drivers. These factors conspire to increase latency and decrease the performance of the final solution (i.e., the SSD).
Much of the leading-edge developmental work to increase performance is focusing on peeling back these layers, and some emerging techniques, such as reducing interrupts by utilizing polling drivers (found in the Intel storage SPDK), can offer drastic performance increases. In many cases, fully utilizing 3D XPoint will require rearchitecting the entire stack, and moving 3D XPoint to the memory bus will unlock much higher performance because it is a faster bus that removes the performance-killing interrupts.
Micron also revealed that its first QuantX SSDs would feature 25 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) of endurance over a five year period with the first generation of 3D XPoint. In comparison, some enterprise SSDs based on MLC NAND provide up to 10 DWPD, whereas TLC NAND SSDs provide between <1 to 5 DWPD of endurance.
Twenty-five DWPD is hardly an earth-shaking endurance specification, and it obviously pales compared to the 1000x increase in endurance touted during the product launch. Micron noted that it is currently tuning 3D XPoint for use as a storage device, which doesn't require as much endurance as it will when it's used as a memory device (NVDIMMS on a RAM slot).
Endurance is defined by the tolerance for raw bit error rates, and according to Micron, the 3D XPoint bit error rate is much lower than flash. The addition of sophisticated ECC algorithms reduces performance, and the company is balancing ECC capabilities and performance to find the "sweet spot" for storage applications. Further, 3D XPoint doesn't have to play by the normal internal SSD management rules, such as garbage collection and wear leveling, to the same extent that a NAND-based SSD does. Micron can dial back all of these processes to increase performance, and it also helps to provide the impressive worst-case latency results in the Facebook tests.
Micron and Intel are designing NVDIMMs for memory applications, and the companies will tune those solutions to provide much more endurance than the storage-based products. The controllers are the real secret sauce of the development initiative, and for now, Micron is utilizing FPGAs, but one would expect the company to switch to ASICs once the design matures.
3D XPoint As Memory
The biggest advances will come when we move 3D XPoint to the memory bus, but it also will require the most change. The first step is to build support in operating systems, and that work is well underway due to the increasing use of NAND-backed DRAM, and even NAND, on the memory bus with NVDIMM form factors.
Software developers will begin to add in support for the new functionality by rewriting applications once the operating system vendors solidify support, but this process could take years. It took nearly ten years for the industry to begin using flash to its fullest potential, but Micron and Intel are both working to build a robust support ecosystem to speed the process with 3D XPoint.
Using 3D XPoint as memory also produces a number of interesting challenges. 3D XPoint is persistent, so if someone removed a DIMM from a server, they could simply plug it into another server to retrieve the data. This is a serious security concern, so all data held in the memory will require encryption. QuantX SSDs will also feature the full suite of TCG OPAL and FIPS 140-2 encryption.
For now, the best route to market is to simply provide 3D XPoint solutions as storage, because it's a drop-in replacement that will help build production volume. Shrinking lithography and stacking higher layers will increase density, which also reduces cost, but it all starts with volume, which will help reduce cost and foment widespread adoption.
Power and Heat
Power consumption is an overriding concern in data center applications, and that is where many of the leading-edge products will land. Micron revealed that 3D XPoint has similar power consumption metrics as NAND, largely because even light workloads will "light up all of the die." However, the device delivers much more performance than NAND so that it will deliver superior efficiency (IOPS-per-Watt). Micron is also testing the device to ensure that it meets JEDEC's stringent heat requirements for SSDs. JEDEC has much higher heat thresholds for DRAM, and it remains to be seen if 3D XPoint DIMMs will fit within the normal DRAM thermal envelope.
Where To Go From Here
The bad news is that Micron is not specifying a release date for its QuantX products, but Intel stated that it intends to ship its 3D XPoint-powered Optane SSDs this year. There are still a number of unanswered questions, such as what the material actually is. Price is another looming question, as it will be the key to the success or demise of 3D XPoint solutions. We expect more news to come from IDF next week.
However, the amount of information trickling out of Micron shows that although 3D XPoint may not be as impressive as some expected, it would still enable a sea change in the computing paradigm. The performance on display was impressive, but one can only imagine what it is capable of with a PCIe 3.0 x16 connection, or better yet, PCIe 4.0. | <urn:uuid:c7968b7d-7818-45a0-bfc0-09347d152c20> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-micron-3d-xpoint-memory,32434.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.942895 | 2,942 | 1.523438 | 2 |
Most consumers know that their shopping is being tracked online; but many don't realize how easy smartphones have made similar tracking possible in your local mall. Now, Apple has taken measures to stop the practice that lets stores track shoppers by way of a unique code generated by a phone's wireless Internet connection. Consumers will see those changes when Apple's new operating system, iOS 8, hits iPhones this fall.
Retailers have kept tabs on consumers by tracking the unique code that smartphones send out when trying to connect to wireless networks, known as a MAC address. Under Apple’s new system, the code will be randomized, making it impossible for stores to identify iPhone users in this way, though phones running other operating systems would still be trackable.
The changes were first reported by app developer Frederic Jacobs, who posted a screenshot of an official Apple slideshow on his Twitter feed that detailed the company’s plans. Other developers soon confirmed the changes; Apple declined to comment on the new feature.
Retailers have used this information to find out how often a customer visits a store, or to get an idea of how many customers pass by their storefronts. Nordstrom ended a program that tracked these codes in stores after an outcry from privacy advocates. The practice also prompted Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to propose legislation that requires companies to get users’ permission to collect location data.
Franken on Monday applauded Apple for its policy change. “Apple’s decision to protect their users against this form of tracking is a smart and powerful move for privacy,” Franken said in a statement.
The move does, in some measure, protect the privacy of Apple users, and also gives more momentum to an alternative standard that Apple’s been pushing for in-store tracking. Last year, Apple introduced an iBeacon standard that relies on technology known as “Bluetooth low-energy.” The system acts as a digital tripwire in several locations throughout a store to let proprietors know when users walk by a certain point or display -- but only if they have downloaded that retailer’s app.
Retailers and policy makers have been working together to set broad standards for companies that want to use any type of location-tracking in stores. Groups including the Future of Privacy Forum and the Wireless Registry have worked together to craft codes of conduct and to provide a central place for consumers to opt-out of tracking for any connected device -- not just smartphones.
“It’s great to see Apple help people take control” of this type of data collection, said Patrick Parodi, founder and chief executive of the Wireless Registry. “This is continuing to become a big issue -- the idea of physical detection of devices, be it your car or smartphone.” | <urn:uuid:87a79174-b4a7-4d3f-91e4-d88010d3700e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2014/06/09/how-apples-new-software-makes-it-harder-for-retailers-to-track-your-movements/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809003642-20220809033642-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.946735 | 573 | 2.09375 | 2 |
The Ethical Matrix in Digital Innovation Projects in Higher Education
Higher educational institutions incorporate projects into their curricula, in which students, together with educators, researchers and professionals from practice, try to find solutions for real, societal problems, to develop relevant skills. Because such solutions are increasingly digital with high impact on society, ethical responsibility is an important part of these skills. In this study, we analyze two cases of digital innovation projects in higher education in which the concept of the Ethical Matrix is adapted and integrated in a Value Sensitive Design approach and applied by educators (case 1) and by students (case 2). We find that an adapted version of the Ethical Matrix supports educators and students in taking values of different types of stakeholders into account which leads to different design choices.

Measuring for Office Desks
Office Desks are one of those “ought to have” things for your workers to approach their obligations and work. You may be searching for new products to upgrade or to oblige another agent of office furniture Dubai.
Purchase the right products for your space
Perhaps you are broadening and moving into one more office overall. Notwithstanding, you should guarantee that you purchase the right products for your space.
Style of the furniture
The style of the furniture you choose will have a critical effect on the beautiful look of your room, yet one component is incredibly huge and can’t be disregarded – the size of the merchandise.
Why Size Matters
You may envision that the size of the working environment workspaces you pick isn’t unequivocally the primary variable, given the workspace can fit between the four dividers being alluded to Office Desks.
The reality of the situation
Regardless, the reality of the situation is that the space you have available is moreover needed for your delegates and partners to move around, and perhaps regardless, for clients and master partners to put energy in while paying that laborer a specialist visit.
The space moreover ought to be taken up by a trash canister, office machines, a work seat, a social event style seat or two, and other such things.
convenience and efficiency
Right when a workspace is unnecessarily tremendous, there isn’t space for the wide range of various things to fit calmly in the space Office Desks. Right when a workspace is pretty much nothing, it can look frustrating and may even weaken convenience and efficiency.
Exactly when you measure for office workspaces, you might want to start by assessing the space starting with one divider then onto the next. Then, you can similarly evaluate various things that you want to put into the room Office Desks.
Consider easily overlooked details
You may not think you need to consider easily overlooked details like a trash container or standing light, but on the off chance that these are needed in the room and will establish a connection with the floor, they should be considered.
Sketch It Out
Directly following assessing the room, you will then, need to draw a brutal sketch of the space. You should draw the room similarly as various things are being eluded to Office Desks.
Size and circumstance of the work environment
Then, ponder the size and circumstance of the work environment workspaces. You may see that it’s less complex to make a paper example of the workspace and move it around in various circumstances on top of the sketch of the room so you can see where the best course of action would be.
Feature Keep In Mind
As you sketch out an incomplete rendition design for your new office workspaces, there are several critical things you really want to recollect Office Desks.
In any case, if a PC will be used on the workspace, as is routinely the circumstance, you will not want to expect pushing the workspace level against the divider. Believe it or not, you may need to give four to six creeps of breathing space between the workspace and the divider.
Require Office Desks
This is a great deal of room, so you might want to recall it for your game plans. Then, consider various components like how far the drawers of the workspace pull out and how much breathing space any cabinets in the workspace will require Office Desks.
Then, attempt to contemplate individuals walking around in the room, also. This will help you with concluding whether you need to look at startling workspaces in contrast with the ones you are at present considering.
Office Desk work or Computer
What sort of work you will do around your work area? Takes care of your responsibilities include generally paper works? Assuming this is the case then you want a work area that has loads of room on top of it.
You should keep various kinds of records, organizers, reports, and different things on top of the work area while working. The length and width of the work area ought to be ideal for this reason. A major benefit with such a work area is that it tends to be utilized for PC too.
PC or Laptop
A PC doesn’t need a work area with such a large number of openings. A straightforward level top work area is adequate for this reason. In any case, a workstation requires appropriate openings in the work area to oblige all the PC parts.
Ensure the work area can oblige extra PC extras like printers. Less space is required for an across-the-board printer however more space is required. If the printer and scanner are two separate units. On the off chance that you utilize a landline telephone or fax machine, the work area ought to have the space or opening for such a gadget.
Corner or Free Design
A corner work area is put in the corner. For the most part, it isn’t set in the room. The free plan is the basic square shape work area that you can put anyplace you wish.
It gives you greater adaptability. The corner work area can be L-molded or I-formed plan. On the off chance that you pick a corner work area, it ought to have adequate width. It is hard to spread your legs further if a corner work area has a little width.
Do You Need Office Desks?
Assuming you as of now have office Desks or other stockpiling frameworks in the room, you may not require drawers in your workspace work area. Be that as it may, you might need to keep every one of your things identified with your work in one spot.
A work area with drawers is a smart thought. It helps keep your work area flawless, perfect, and coordinated. All little things can be kept in the drawers. Relatives won’t look through their own lost things in the work area since they realize just your office business-related things are kept in the Office Desks.
