The central points of divergence that surfaced in our recent Roman Catholic and Evangelical dialog were made very clear as our discussion proceeded. The most obvious one, put in the simplest manner, was our ecclesiology. I am not downplaying how serious this difference really is by putting it in one word. The doctrine of the church is at the very heart of our major theological differences.
Matthew 16:18-20 was discussed and we all four agreed that the best exegesis of this text leads us to conclude that Jesus is telling Peter the Church is rooted in the revelation of God to Peter and thus in his human person as well. Various Protestant attempts to explain away the text fail and thereby show that they are rooted in over-reaction to Roman Catholicism. But what we did not agree upon, very obviously, was whether or not Peter was the first pope, at least in the sense that he became the head of Christ’s Church on the earth and that this office, the papacy, continues down to the present day through the successors to the apostles, namely the cardinals of the Catholic Church. Put very simply, if I agreed with this position I would be required to seriously consider becoming a Roman Catholic. I do not agree with it, for several reasons, and this was discussed in a charitable and open manner.
To add to this point evangelicals do not believe in the magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. But evangelicals can, and in fact should, show far more regard for holy tradition, especially for the earliest creeds of the Church. This does not, however, obligate us to embrace the idea of an infallible interpretative order within the Church that guarantees correct interpretation and final doctrinal certainty. As evangelicals our faith is in Christ alone, not in the visible church, even in our own church. Christ’s leadership of his people is mediated through human authority, by Holy Scripture and through the proper use of tradition, but human authority is never infallible. This idea clearly separates us and likely will do so for a long time. It separates the Orthodox Church from Rome as well, even though there are some similarities between these two ancient communions. (We are planning a forum titled: “Christianity: East and West.” This will be another evening, hopefully in 2008.)
One of the questions we pursued in the September 16 dialog was: “Does the visible church put us into vital connection with the gospel or does the gospel bring us into the visible church?” Our Roman Catholic brothers argued the first and we the second. Catholics see the Church as an extension of Christ’s incarnation. Evangelicals, like me, have a very high sacramental theology but not one which thinks in terms of the incarnation being extended into the world through the Church as if this was Christ with us. I believe this places way too much weight upon the single image of “the body of Christ” and fails to do proper justice to the numerous other metaphors that describe the Church in the New Testament.
We agreed that sacramental theology was important and thus baptism and the Lord’s Supper were more than memorials. We disagreed about the number of sacraments and their role in our salvation. I believe grace is actually conveyed through the sacraments but it is not conveyed without faith. Catholics believe this too but they have a very different way of understanding it. Sacraments are important but we are saved by Christ through faith in the gospel, not through the sacraments.
It was admitted that sola fide is a concept that can be variously understood and misunderstood. While Andrew and I were prepared to defend the concept on one level we freely admitted that on a different level it is a phrase that is very problematic (cf. James 2:24, the only text where the phrase “faith alone” occurs in the Bible and one that does not treat the idea favorably at all).
More on divergences and differences to come in Part 6. I will also get to some convergences and areas of profound agreement. | <urn:uuid:ee3ff60c-954b-4d9c-8e56-7ae14e79202a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://johnharmstrong.com/the-act-3-rom-1/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.974301 | 833 | 1.71875 | 2 |
For decades, India lacked role model entrepreneurs. There were a few names like Dhirubhai Ambani who made a name for themselves by taking the entrepreneurial landscape by storm, but they belonged to old industries like Petrochemical or Textiles. The tech-savvy youth of India looked up to American entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg as role models. But the entrepreneurial landscape is slowly changing and a new class of wealth creators has emerged in India with everyone having their unique story. In the last decade, many self-made people made the Richie-rich list, and the most important of them is arguably Sridhar Vembu, founder and CEO of Zoho Corporation.
Born in Thanjavur District of Tamil Nadu, Sridhar Vembu pursued his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1989, and earned his MS and PhD degrees from Princeton University in New Jersey.
Vembu started his career as a wireless engineer with American semiconductor Qualcomm. But in order to pursue his entrepreneurial journey, in 1996, Vembu founded a software development house for network equipment providers called AdventNet. In 2009, the name of the company was changed to Zoho Corporation in order to focus on the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry.
Building a Profitable business:
Vembu is an inspiration for Indian entrepreneurs and the aspiring middle class for many reasons. Unlike most of the SaaS industry players like Icertis, Freshworks – who have established headquarters in the United States because most of the revenue comes from there – Zoho is headquartered in Chennai. So, while the other companies are creating wealth for American or Singaporean investors, Zoho is creating wealth for India and Indians.
Moreover, unlike the other well-known names of the Indian software industry like Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Deepender Goyal, or Girish of Freshworks – Vembu has built a profitable business rather than burning the investor’s cash. Zoho’s FY 21 profit was 1,918 crore rupees, more than double of FY 20, and with every passing year, revenue is growing more than revenue – which is exactly the opposite of other startups.
Love for villages and rural life:
Vembu himself lives a village life and is providing employment to thousands of people in rural and semi-urban areas rather than getting into the mad rush of urban and industrial centres. “Going for a walk in a village is a divine experience. After tasting this life in a village, it would be very hard for me to move to any major city anywhere now. That is the truth. I can almost say that I am addicted to this rural life. I have always loved it, and now I love it even more,” Vembu told a Deccan Herald reporter in an interview.
Zoho is aggressively expanding its rural centres across India including in states like Bihar, and even in foreign countries, the company prefers to establish offices in rural areas. “We now have 15 rural centres and we are now growing those aggressively because more people are transferring to rural centres, and we are space-constrained in some of our offices and we are leasing bigger spaces,” says Sridhar Vembu.
A hardcore Nationalist:
Unlike other startup founders and business leaders, especially those in the technology world, who claim to be a globalist – Sridhar Vembu identifies himself as a nationalist.
He has attended RSS events and when the low IQ twitter trolls started attacking him, Vembu said, “I don’t decide my views based on Twitter attacks. If you dislike which events I attend, please do what your conscience dictates and I will do what mine dictates. We earn our daily bread due to our work and we will continue to do quality work. I won’t be responding to attacks.”
The Modi government has also appointed him to the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) given his credentials and nationalist leanings.
Building other industries through investment in deep-tech:
Sridhar Vembu has aligned his investment ideals with Prime Minister Modi’s AtmaNirbhar Bharat initiative. In the last decade, he has invested in semiconductors, medical equipment, electric vehicles, and many other businesses that will establish India’s leadership in emerging areas and fill the deficiencies in critical areas such as semiconductors.
Last year Zoho Corporation invested $5 million (about ₹35 crores) in a Bengaluru-based medical devices company Voxelgrids, which makes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. This partnership between Zoho and Voxelgrids is going to revolutionize the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry and is a big step towards an ‘Atmanirbhar’ Bharat.
The investment will be made in two tranches over the next two years and Zoho would own around a 25% stake in Voxelgrids. Zoho had previously invested in companies working in DeepTech such as vTitan and SignalChip.
While announcing the investment in Voxelgrids, Vembu said, “We have a medical device company vTitan which has already started shipping products. So Zoho has experience with medical devices.”
“The investment in Voxelgrids will foster the development of deep technological capabilities and intellectual property (IP),” he added.
India needs more and more contrarian leaders and entrepreneurs like Sridhar Vembu. He has defied all the conventional wisdom about building a business and established a highly successful company. Visiting his Twitter page gives a thrill as takes on the people like Raghuram Rajan who wants India to become a coolie of developed western nations by providing them cheap services instead of building great products and services for domestic consumption as well as for exports.
Vembu also social entrepreneurship through lifelong learning schools and various other initiatives that he has opened up in the village he resides. The lungi-wearing billionaire is a role model for emerging entrepreneurs as well as for the people already established in the industry. | <urn:uuid:7509092f-fb4e-4225-9465-64b22f71cdd9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://tfipost.com/2022/02/meet-shridhar-vembu-one-of-the-most-successful-yet-humble-entrepreneurs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965341 | 1,286 | 1.578125 | 2 |
Why is Dorothy Dandridge hardly mentioned when the discussion of beauty and talent is brought up? Is her beauty not equal to her peers such as Marilyn Monroe? It bothers me that more black women idolize Monroe over Dandridge. For those that are not familiar with this timeless beauty, we have a complete rundown of who she is.
The white woman has always been held as a prized possession for the past few hundred years now. I still do not know how this happened but a change is needed. Most African American women do not even know who Dorothy has let alone what she contributed to the makeup and beauty world. We still use her tips and tricks today. But before we get into her beauty regimen, allow me to introduce to you the beauty Dorothy Dandridge.
Dorothy Dandridge was an actress and singer born November 9, 1922, in Cleveland, Ohio. In her early years, she was to become a singer and entertainer and was introduced to show business at a young age by her mother, actress Ruby Dandridge. She had a joint group with her older sister at the time. Dorothy was always recognized by her beauty and as mentioned before was formerly known as the “Black Marilyn Monroe”. Now let us get into this makeup artistry.
Our intern Rachelle is obsessed with hair and makeup and took the time to do her research on Dorothy’s beauty secrets. We have a video snippet from Paris Chanel on how to get the Dorothy Dandridge iconic look.
Makeup Routine: Dewy Skin – Defined Arched Brows, Signature Moles above the lip, Mascara on top and bottom lash, Rosy Cheeks and Bold Bright Colorful Lip (Red or Tangerine) smokey wing eyeliner complete with a smudged water line.
If I were white I could capture the world. -Dorothy Dandridge | <urn:uuid:79b21443-3dc9-480a-b099-a624d18a54a6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://imumedia.com/you-cant-speak-about-beauty-and-not-mention-dorothy-dandridge | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.982932 | 390 | 2.078125 | 2 |
Full transparency isn't necessarily something the beauty industry is known for. Companies have turned obfuscation into an art, skirting their way around communicating product ingredients and sourcing. And, according to a study conducted by the Fashion Institute of Technology, it's led to a mini-revolt by consumers.
Students from FIT's 2018 Cosmetic and Fragrance Marketing and Management graduate program conducted extensive global surveys and gathered troves of data to create the Capstone Research Presentation, a comprehensive report on the problem with transparency in the beauty industry. The 19 students, all mid-level executives at major corporations — Coty, Unilever, LVMH, Shiseido, L'Oréal, Chanel, Revlon, and Estée Lauder — identified the major hurdles currently facing their companies and suggested actionable changes they need to make in order to stay relevant and gain consumers' trust.
After surveying 1,800 respondents, the findings from the survey weren't exactly encouraging for companies: Only 30 percent of consumers felt that they had enough information on a product's ingredients, 42 percent don't think brands provide enough information on ingredient safety and more than 60 percent want brands to identify the sources of their ingredients. It's this mistrust, posited the students, that has led to the rise of so-called "clean" beauty.
"Lack of clear information is impeding the path to purchase," says Lindsay Powell Schwartz, the senior manager of US influencer marketing for Coty and a Capstone leader. "Consumers are turning to naturals because they think green is clean, but it would be unrealistic and inauthentic for all brands to suddenly become natural."
So instead of jumping on "clean" band wagon, the students suggested that companies provide that authenticity using accessible technology, or more specifically, one they've dreamt up: the clearBEAUTY app.
Their proposed technology is based off of a similar one being used in Korea, called Hwahae. It provides everything from product reviews to active ingredient info. It also allows you to click on any ingredient in the product to find out exactly what it is, possible side effects, and its Environmental Working Group hazard score.
Whereas Hwahae is a searchable database, the clearBEAUTY app, said the class, would be visual, allowing customers to take a photo of a product and bring up all of its data. Users would be able to click into ingredients to learn about their sourcing, aggregate reviews, and even comparison shop. They also want their app to clearly state a product's batch date, production date, and expiration date — a "source to skin" open-source verification.
It's this type of radical transparency and consumer-focused content, the report explains, that would gain back customers that companies have lost by not adapting to the changing climate around beauty. "Beauty industry leaders must work together, whether partners or competitors," says Schwartz, "to answer the consumer demand for transparency in order to gain the trust of their collective consumers or run the risk of irrelevancy." As consumers and industry insiders, we're more than ready to see what that kind of collaboration might produce. | <urn:uuid:eec99d11-a03a-4734-a1d1-ba186ee3eda3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fashionista.com/2018/06/fit-2018-capstone-research-presentation-beauty-industry-transparency | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.949865 | 653 | 2.296875 | 2 |
Vitamin B gets a lot of attention in the world of weight loss supplements and nutrition discussions. This spectrum of nutrients is associated with claims ranging from providing basic support by helping the body and mind function properly to miraculous fat-melting results that require no other contribution from you.
Though it’s easy for most of us to assume that Vitamin B won’t cause weight loss magic to take place, it can be difficult to know specifically what to believe. We certainly can’t expect to take these supplements, change nothing else about the way we eat, exercise or live our lives, but still see excess fat disappearing. That’s simply not how it – or anything else – works.
At the same time, it’s good to know what you can expect and if supplementation is right for you. If you’re curious about whether you should be taking vitamin B supplements for weight loss, the first thing you should do is speak with your doctor. This may sound like a nuisance, but it’s more important than you might think.
Simply assuming that you need more of one or many B vitamins and taking them based on guesswork can be hazardous to your health. There are, after all many B vitamins. Each plays a different role in your body and affects the balance of other nutrients. Taking some of these supplements beyond what you need can bring you to toxic levels and can be harmful to you in ways you may not realize until true problems have arisen.
If you suspect your levels are low, your doctor may recommend blood tests so you can find out for certain. Once you know which – if any – among the B vitamins you need because your levels aren’t high enough, your doctor can recommend dietary changes or a specific supplement dose that will be right for you. You may also have to take other vitamin or mineral supplements to complement the B vitamins you’re taking, to ensure they are absorbed properly without throwing other nutrients out of balance.
These B vitamins may help to contribute to your broader weight loss efforts – calorie restriction and an improved activity level, for example – once they are replaced. The reason is that they will help your body to function more efficiently. A more efficient body may indeed improve its rate of losing weight.

This stromatolite sphere features excellent deep, forest green and black tones in nice swirling and spotted patterning. It has been expertly shaped and polished, making for an attractive display piece. A wooden sphere stand as pictured will be provided with this sphere.
Stromatolite is a type of fossilized algae dating back 3 billion years, often seen in mounds, columns or sheet-like formations of sedimentary rock. It is widely believed that the stone known as 'kambaba' or 'crocodile' jasper is a variety of stromatolite, though there is still some dispute in the mineralogical community regarding its classification. This unique stone features deep green tones and black orbicular patterns that resembles reptile skin. | <urn:uuid:af4d0c70-4fe8-46af-acac-6c9fe9b2f846> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.deepearthtreasures.com/products/copy-of-stromatolite-kambaba-jasper-sphere-54mm-220g | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.930475 | 162 | 2.1875 | 2 |
This page is a quick-start guide that helps you get started with the Chemical Terms language:
Let's see how to calculate some basic properties of aspririn.
The applied Chemical Terms expressions are as follows:
The Chemical Terms expressions can also be used to filter molecules for which the investigated properties can be calculated prior to filtering.
We list here two simple rules. The first one defines that the mass of the compounds should be less than 500, whereas the second one states that the logP should be not greater than 5.
The defined filtering conditions may be linked by logical operators.
For example, to specify that the calculated log P of a compound is between -0.4 and 5.6 and the molecular weight is between 160 and 480, the following expression should be formulated:
logP>=-0.4 AND logP<=5.6 AND mass>=160 AND mass<=480
Both properties should be included twice as two conditions were defined for each property.
Other logical operators such as OR, NOT can be used analogous to AND. | <urn:uuid:dc627f1f-1f60-42d2-8fe1-7f1d7fad262b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://docs.chemaxon.com/display/lts-gallium/chemical-terms-getting-started.md | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.929592 | 235 | 3.109375 | 3 |

A life cycle means the changes that an organism goes through when it is alive. A life cycle repeats for a new generation of life. The life cycle of the frog occurs in this way only. Different types of animals have different types of life cycles. Animals like frog go through the process of metamorphosis. Metamorphosis means changing from one form to another.
Stages in the Lifecycle of a Frog
The breeding season for frogs usually during the springtime in temperate regions and rainy season in tropical areas.
The female frog lays eggs in the form of mass, and the mass is made up of several hundred eggs. Depending upon the species, egg mass can be made of several hundred eggs.
Within a few days, the eggs develop into a tadpole and live entirely in water and develop thyroid glands. The tadpole consists of poorly developed gills, mouth, and tail. The gills start growing over via skin until they disappear after four weeks.
Tadpole with Hind Legs
About 24 hours, the tadpole starts to develop its hind legs, and almost every organ begins to change. It means the organ has to change so that tadpole can go from living underwater to living on land.
Tadpole with Front and Hind Legs
After hind legs, the front legs started to grow, and the tail starts to disappear. The tadpole has started to form like a frog.
Froglet (An Young Frog)
At this stage, the gills have disappeared, and the lungs have enlarged, but the tail is still there. The tadpole seems like a miniature version of the adult frog. It will leave the water only to return to lay more eggs.
The adult frog develops teeth, and tongue muscles developed fully to catch insects. Between 12 to 16 weeks, the frog completes the full growth cycle. At this stage, the tail disappears. | <urn:uuid:6aaa3f7a-616f-4323-b42b-1bebaf9171e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.homeworkjoy.com/infographics/subject/the-life-cycle-of-frog-a-brief-outline/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.948634 | 397 | 3.296875 | 3 |
The EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) member-states and the Republic of Chile are thrashing out the issue of potential formation of a free trade zone, the Minister on main areas of integration and macroeconomics of Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Tatyana Valovaya said Monday, adding that at the current stage it is necessary to calculate all economic effects.
“Prior to creating a free trade zone it is necessary to estimate the economic consequences of this step. Currently, the sides are not yet ready to accept the estimates of the economic effects, this will require very serious efforts, particularly aimed at amending the trade and economic imbalance. However, today the colleagues responsible for creation of free trade zones at the EEC, are holding a relevant seminar with the Chilean colleagues for exchange of best practices, which will help us to decide whether we will move in this direction,” Valovaya said after the meeting of the joint commission on cooperation between the EEC and the government of Chile.
According to Valovaya, as of today the dynamics of mutual trade is positive though it has a certain imbalance as Chile exports almost 10 times as much as it imports from EAEU member-states.
Also, she said, the issue of a free trade zone formation has been raised by the Chilean side for a long time already, with Russian exporters also taking interest in the initiative. “But this is a very serious and big decision, which is always made by all five countries, and which requires all necessary background provided,” Valovaya said.
The next meeting of the joint commission will be held in 2017 in Chile and will be attended by business representatives from the EAEU states presenting their potential.
According to Chilean vice minister for trade, Andres Rebolledo, since the country’s agricultural sector is fast growing, the government is interested in boosting imports of fertilizers, technology, products of machinery manufacturing and cars from the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. | <urn:uuid:8f0b1563-384b-409a-bf16-96855a3d1be7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://ereforum.org/chile-is-interested-in-of-free-trade-with-eurasian-economic-union/?lang=en | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954471 | 429 | 1.84375 | 2 |

TRETHAN: Facts vs. emotion: A sensitive story is worth telling, too
When we decided to run Wednesday’s story on a woman who made an Internet video about her abortion, I knew readers would react.
And I understand why.
No matter which side of the debate you identify with, the one thing everyone can agree on is that abortion is an emotional, volatile and serious issue.
I won’t share with you my feelings on the topic, other than to say they’re conflicted, complicated and, yes, emotional. But it’s not our place as journalists to share our views or allow them to color our coverage. We simply present the facts and let readers decide how they feel.
In case you missed it, Wednesday’s story focused on Emily Letts, a counselor at the Cherry Hill Women’s Center. Letts posted a video about her own abortion as part of a contest sponsored by an abortion rights group. She won, then wrote an essay for the website Cosmopolitan.com about the circumstances that led her to the procedure and why she made the video.
Many of our readers were upset by the story and our decision to run it.
First, we ran it because it was a local story — the women’s center where the video was shot and where Letts works is about four miles from the Courier-Post — and because the video was posted on websites globally, from the Guardian in the United Kingdom to Huffington Post, from Breitbart.com to Glenn Beck’s website.
If you Google “abortion video” and “Emily Letts,” nearly 5 million results appear.
I realize the phrase “viral video” means different things to print and online readers, but I felt both audiences would want to know this provocative local video was reverberating worldwide.
We did not and will not take a position on what she did. We noted that she worked at the clinic — so she obviously had a pro-choice agenda — and that she was an actress.
We quoted from her essay explaining her actions, but also spoke to an expert on reproductive issues from academia and from those who were horrified by the video, from Twitter commenters to a representative from the Diocese of Camden’s Life and Justice Ministries.
It was only our intention to report and to let the reader draw his or her own conclusions. That’s our only intention in any news story, from one as mundane as a town council meeting to one as controversial as this story obviously was.
Many of you objected to Letts’ demeanor on the video, including Donna Master, client services director at Options for Women, a Cherry Hill center that helps pregnant women in crisis.
“The circumstances that lead women to consider abortion are usually sad and complicated, even heartbreaking,” she wrote.
“... Even a pro-choice woman’s decision to abort is not an easy one.”
She writes later in her letter, “In my experience with post-abortive women, the ‘stigma of guilt’ has less to do with ‘society’ as Letts asserts, and more to do with a feeling, deep down inside of them, that they lost a baby.”
Master took us to task for publicizing Letts and her workplace, while failing to mention her agency provides free support for pregnant women.
Joyce Saia mentioned Options for Women in her response to the story, as did Dorothy Fleger of Haddon Township in her letter to Jim Walsh, one of the reporters on the story. Fleger also questioned Letts’ motives, the contest she entered and the tone of the video.
Many other readers asked the same questions as well, some cutting Letts slack for her age and circumstances, others angry at “irresponsible” behavior that led to her pregnancy and the lack of input from the baby’s father.
A few came to Letts’ defense on our Facebook page: “Her body, her right to choose” (Isidro Salas). “What she does with her body is no one’s business but hers” (Regina Tanealian Haney).
“It is up to each woman to decide for herself. Apparently this woman does not think it is a big deal. That is between her and her God. She can make all the ‘fun’ abortion films she likes, just as those who do not believe in abortion can make their own films.” (Virginia Ann Erb Marquis).
Finally, Msgr. Louis Marucci, pastor of St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Gibbsboro, wrote us about the moral and ethical objections the Catholic Church has to abortion.
Marucci’s letter, which we will print, did not attack Letts or any woman who chooses abortion, but instead offered a reasoned, objective moral argument against abortion.
Maybe that’s why his letter, among the many we received, resonated most with me.
Not because I agree or disagree with him, but because it was reasonable.
That’s one thing that’s often missing from the discussion on this topic.
Readers were upset with us for putting a provocative story on our front page.
But part of our job is to start difficult conversations. And you responded.

About Ornate Plaster ( UK )
Ornate Plaster (UK) is a company that specialises in the manufacture and installation of Fibrous Plaster, GRG, pmGRG, GRC & pmGRC products and restoration of Lime Plaster work to historic and listed buildings.
Our reputation is built on being able to deliver a quality product at a competitive price with installation completed and handed over on time. Also we can provide a complete service - design - manufacture - installation – decoration.
Fibrous Plaster, A traditional material used for the production of cornices & mouldings and in the restoration of historic and listed buildings, it can be moulded into almost any shape or form, is light very adaptable, easy to cut,drill, fix and make good to a seamless finish.
Chemical paint removal
Chemical paint removal of existing Historic plasterwork Our involvement on restoration projects has enabled us to specialise in this work which removes the years or sometimes centuries of paint layers from historic or listed plasterwork using chemical poultices which reveal the original detail.
GRG Glass reinforced gypsum – this material has all the advantages of fibrous plaster but with the benefits of added strength & lighter weight enabling larger sections to be cast which is a great advantage when producing domes and vaulted ceilings.
pmGRG Polymer modified GRG - All the advantages of GRG but can be made very hard and dense which gives superior abrasion and water resistance and units can be made even lighter – thicknesses of 4mm are not uncommon. Jesmonite AC100 is a ready to use propriety material which we use for this purpose.
GRC Glass reinforced cement - can be applied as a render or cast in units as GRG This material is waterproof and can be used externally for renders and for the manufacture of cornices, mouldings pediments, columns & balustrading.
pmGRC Polymer modified GRC - this product is used for the manufacture of precast external architectural features - usually these are of a modular design with expressed joints. They are light in weight waterproof and can be made to simulate stone, metal & even timber. Jesmonite AC750 is a ready to use propriety material which we use for this purpose.
Reconstituted Stone Castings
Reconstituted Stone Castings An alternative to real stone when reproducing ornate architectural features. This consists of stone dust mixed with white cement facing with a concrete backing which can be made loadbearing. Thin sections can be reinforced with stainless steel rods or mesh .We have used this material successfully on many projects especially window surrounds and cills.
Lime is a traditional building material most commonly used in the restoration of historic and listed buildings. Mixed with sand & hair it is used to replace deteriorated, missing or damaged plaster and for plastering on timber laths.The finish coat is lime putty mixed with fine washed sand. At Ornate Plaster (UK) we carry out a lot of this type of work preserving Britain’s heritage.
We can offer a full CAD design service, provide our own working detail drawings. | <urn:uuid:44a3ae8f-7177-4a1a-ad3d-dc804464d327> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ornateplasteruk.com/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.927005 | 678 | 1.554688 | 2 |
Principal Component for Shape Analysis.
10 views (last 30 days)
I want to make a pca for my shape problem. My X matrix is constituted n = rows (observation) and p = columns (variables). In particular, my matrix is constituted by n = 15000 which are the coordinates of the geoemtrical points of the form and m = 10 are the pazinets. I run the following script in Matlab:
[PC,Mode,eigenvalues,tsquared,variace_perc,Mean_RR] = pca(RR);
Xcentered = Mode*PC';
I would like to be sure to proceed in the right way. From this analysis I get:
PC=matrix of 15000*9
Mode=matrix of 10*9.....
In this way PC represent the principal components for me, are just projection of my date onto the principal component.
Mode is that Matlab call "coeff"....but in this way, what does it represent?
Thank you very much!!!
Bernhard Suhm on 10 Mar 2019
Per documentation of pca, your "Mode" are " .. the representations of X in the principal component space. Rows of scorecvorrespond to observations, and columns correspond to components". So to get the loading of the 2nd component of the shape vector corresponding to your input signal, you'll want to grab the second column of your "Mode" variable. | <urn:uuid:c2fdd9ad-5dfa-4ac5-9727-3a3fbe16fae9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://la.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/445165-principal-component-for-shape-analysis | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.882779 | 329 | 2.375 | 2 |

A common reason that a person would take an EMT-Basic course is so that they can become certified and work full time on an ambulance. Some people take the course to work part time on an ambulance. Not all people who take the course work on ambulances.
Some people take the course because they might be a first responder (police officer, fire fighter) looking for more knowledge. Other people might take the course because they want to work as a police officer or fire fighter and are about to take a civil service exam (in MA being a certified EMT-Basic is 1 extra point on your civil service exam score!).
Other people may take the course because they will be part of an emergency response team at their current job or to volunteer for services like the American Red Cross. Some people take the course to have second job or work in a hospital. Some people take this course because it is worth a certain number of college credits.
What are my job options once I become a certified EMT-Basic ?
Once you have completed the course and successfully passed the state written and practical exam you will be a certified EMT. Once you receive your certification you can then work as an EMT.
People may work as an EMT in different ways. Some people will choose to work “in the streets”. This might be in an emergency setting by working for a city or town’s EMS provider. There are cities and towns who hire private ambulance services to provide EMS for their areas. This may be a great way to get right into “the streets”. Some areas use the fire or police departments as their EMS provider. In these situations you would need to be an employee of that department, so you may have to take civil service exams to be hired.
Some people may choose to work as an EMT in a “non-emergency” role. This is usually accomplished by working for a private ambulance service that deals with mostly transfers from facility to facility. There are also some hospitals that hire EMT’s to work in the emergency room setting.
There is also the chance to work as a volunteer in some places, such as working for the American Red Cross. Every area is a little different so there may be more or less opportunities in your area. We would be glad to help you find out what exists in your area. | <urn:uuid:7185362c-0ef6-49bb-b942-eba6e75194fd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pro-techlifesafetyservices.com/why-take-an-emt-course/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.972871 | 486 | 2.03125 | 2 |
There are two different aspects here:
1) Rahu: Rahu is basically considered a demon planet and is mostly unobservable. It’s the hardest to please and the most influential of fortune because Rahu does absolute bad rather than good almost every time. It’s also considered to be a huge controller of human nature, aura, inclinations, and mood swings.
2) The 1st House: The First House is called the Lagana. The first house is a definition of you. It describes the body the appearance you were born with, what is your general outlook, your nature, temperament. It’s the identifying house, the house of physical fitness, and the pink health.
The people with Rahu in the first house are usually the personality of Kings. They are overly charming people, with fervent energy, interesting aura. They are the lives of the party, though they are independent people. They don’t take the painstakings of other people upon them. They are highly attractive with large heads. They are intelligent people, sharp-witted, and are decision-makers of the moment. They are always high on sexual fever and have amazing potentials of libido. They are free birds and can’t bear with any constraints that are tried to be put upon them. They are analytically and pragmatically smart and are good at mathematical skills. They are very argumentative people. It’s hard to win them over in arguments. It’s not because they may have better points but it’s mostly because they are very overpowering and domineering. They are brave and extraverted, don’t fear to face situations and can move forward with all their hearts.
These people are mostly lone-wolves. Howsoever attractive these people may be, they are mostly lonely in the long run. This is because of their arrogant and unwinnable spirits. They are not ready to accept the views of other people. They are eccentric to other people in terms of their points of view. They are selfish, self-centered and insecure. They are basically the portrayals of the great characters of Shakespeare like Hamlet(powerful but full of doubt), Othello(full of suspicion), Macbeth(full of conceit). They are usually lethargic, dishonest, and usually don’t put up with the goodness of other people. They can’t reciprocate happiness and love. They are the ones to rise the zenith very quickly and even fall faster from there. Rahu in the first house always coincides with Rahu being in the 5th house, representing love, 7th house, representing association with the opposite sex, and 9th house, representing good fortune or destiny. These people have many partners both sexually and emotionally. They usually stay highly discontented with the people in their lives. Usually, it’s on the basis of suspicion.
The early part of the life of the person is usually full of obstacles though later in life it is quite easy. They move up the rungs of success quite easily. They have a hap for materialistic life. The Lal Kitab mentions that such people should not exchange electronic or metal items from there in-laws’ side. They should donate black sesame, black leather, and copper on Saturday.

1. Because we know when it’s time to name-drop.
Naming is power. And this past year, Denverites used it to reckon with the racist legacies that plague our city, one local symbol at a time. From Sunnyside’s La Raza Park (the moniker bestowed on what was Columbus Park is a nod to the area’s history as a center of Chicano activism) to Denver South High School’s new Raven mascot (formerly the Rebels), we are finally acknowledging that everyday places and symbols can be (not so) hidden harbors for hate.
Although a high school mascot and a beloved park are touchstones in righting past wrongs, the highest-profile shift came when the Stapleton neighborhood—so dubbed for Ku Klux Klan member and former Denver Mayor Benjamin Stapleton—became Central Park. The change was decades in the making. “It’s really important for us to tell the truth about history,” says Liz Stalnaker, board chair of the nonprofit Rename St*pleton for All committee, who says the change was a necessary first step. “The marketing of a neighborhood under the name of a Klansman was a way of whitewashing [history].” For Stalnaker, these labels are a reminder of how Denver must continue to confront the ways its racist history still impacts residents through redlining and unaffordability. “We have so much more work to do.” —Madi Skahill
2. Because we learned how to tame Texans.
Self-love is important. But to be worshipped by others, especially when those others are from the self-righteously smug Lone Star State? That’s simply divine. In 2019, that worship translated into Denver’s best tourism year ever, with $7 billion flooding in mostly from Californians and, yes, Texans. During the pandemic, droves of Texans continued to vacation in Colorado because, well, our state is (still) better than theirs. The only trouble was teaching that pack of wildcatters how to behave in a civilized society. Unsurprisingly, Denver wasn’t the only city that got creative with its etiquette lessons. —Spencer Campbell
Will You Accept This Mask?
On March 2, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ended his state’s mask mandate. Luckily, the Denver-based Colorado Tourism Office was ready to tell Texans that willful disregard for humankind ended at our border. Their “Do Colorado Right” ad campaign had local celebrities like Bachelor vet Ben Higgins teach tourists how to behave during a pandemic—since they didn’t learn their manners at home.
A Dose Of Perspective
In August, members of the invading Texan horde vandalized an Aspen city limit sign by slapping a “Texas” sticker over the municipality’s name. The act of mischief had many fans, including the Aspen Police Department, which addressed the criminal in question via Facebook: “We friggin’ love you. That’s the best thing we’ve seen since the world fell apart. And if it bothers you, call up Amazon and order a sense of humor.”
All Dressed Up
Texans poured into Durango for spring break 2021; cell phone data in La Plata County revealed that visitors increased from 15 percent to 40 percent of the population in most of March, and the majority were from Texas and Texas Jr. (aka Oklahoma). So local businesses and the tourism office hired actors wearing Western getups—think: town marshal—to patrol the streets, espousing the virtues of covering up to unmasked bandits.
3. Because the STAR program showed us how to actually serve and protect.
Criminal justice reform advocates have had their eyes on Denver’s Support Team Assistance Response (STAR) pilot program, which, for the past 13 months, has diverted 911 calls related to mental health and substance misuse from the Denver Police Department to a team of health care workers trained to handle them. Two-person civilian teams—consisting of a paramedic and a mental health professional—respond to low-level incidents in hopes of connecting people to services like shelters, food aid, and counseling, while rerouting police response to where it’s actually needed: violent crime. Here’s a look at the first 10 months of the STAR program, which will expand its services in the fall to the northeast and southwest parts of town. —Corinne Anderson
1,181: Emergency calls responded to
10,000: Estimated calls that will be diverted annually after the program expands this year
60: Percentage of calls related to mental health
70: Percentage of STAR clients who were experiencing homelessness
$1.4 million: Money allocated in the city of Denver’s general fund for the program in 2021
4. Because the city (finally) exhibited a little compassion in addressing homelessness.
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many public and social health issues, including worsening Denver’s ongoing housing crisis. Even as city officials opened auxiliary shelters at the National Western Complex and the Denver Coliseum, informal campsites sprang up across downtown. Local nonprofit Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) brought forth an innovative (for Denver) solution: safe-camping sites where people could securely live outside, socially distanced and with access to critical services. “They’re rapidly deployable, cheap to start up, and much more dignified,” says CVC executive director Cole Chandler. “[They’re] a critical resource during this crisis.” The city initially balked at the idea, but Mayor Michael Hancock, who had previously vocalized his skepticism of such programs, finally expressed his support in July 2020.
Things got moving after that. CVC quickly opened two Safe Outdoor Spaces in church parking lots in Capitol Hill in December. Then, in February, Denver’s City Council allocated $900,000 to help fund two outdoor shelter locations. In June, CVC’s original locations combined into one site in South Park Hill; a second venue is in the works. At full capacity, these camps can serve 100 individuals. Residents live in ice fishing tents outfitted with heated blankets and floor pads and have access to mobile showers, electricity, and meals. The venues are staffed 24/7, and every resident is connected to on-site wraparound services, including health care and employment referrals. Couples are able to live together and individuals can keep their pets—both forbidden at area shelters. There have been zero COVID-19 cases among residents and staff. At least seven residents have moved into tiny homes, while numerous others have been added to housing application lists and have found jobs. Hancock believes these sites are a way to “fill a gap” in housing. “They’re making a big difference,” he said of the spaces. —Daliah Singer | <urn:uuid:d7af5a7a-54f9-4ae8-9ae9-7a04d19ae4fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.5280.com/2021/07/reasons-to-love-denver-2021-acts-of-compassion/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.952082 | 1,477 | 1.851563 | 2 |
J2EE Web Services by Richard Monson-Haefel is the current de-facto standard bible for Web Services development on Java. I had pre-ordered this book on Amazon and have read through this book several times in the last few months and I absolutely love this book. Richard has created a great resource for the J2EE developer that’s looking to build interoperable Web Services.
J2EE Web Services
by Richard Monson-Haefel
Paperback: 960 pages
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pub Co; 1st edition (October 17, 2003)
Most EJB developers are already familiar with Richard Monson-Haefel’s work in his OReilly EJB’s book. He brings that expertise into the realm of J2EE and Web Services. In fact, this is the first book to talk about Web Services Interoperability Organization’s (WS-I) Basic Profile 1.0.
WS-I is an open, industry organization chartered to promote Web services interoperability across platforms, operating systems, and programming languages. WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 is set of recommendations on how to use web services specifications to maximize interoperability. This book delves into the details of J2EE 1.4 and how we as Java developer can build and consume Web Services in a standard way.
The book starts off with an introduction to XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI before jumping into the meat, Java API for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC). If you don’t have any experience with those technologies, the book offers a great tutorial on those items. I was particularly impressed with the treatment on XML Schemas in the 3rd chapter.
Once the basic groundwork is laid with a solid introduction to XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI, the book jumps right in the JAX-RPC platform. In fact, the middle half of the book is dedicated to JAX-RPC. JAX-RPC is a specification for making remote procedure calls via XML and SOAP over HTTP. JAX-RPC provides an easy to develop programming model for development of SOAP based Web services. You can use the RPC programming model to develop Web service clients and endpoints (server).
Once you get an overview of JAX-RPC, you jump right into building Web Services. The section on JAX-RPC is really detailed and offers a very in-depth tutorial on building Web Services. From JAX-RPC, you jump into Java API for XML Registries or JAXR. The Java API for XML Registries (JAXR) provides a uniform and standard Java API for accessing different kinds of XML Registries. An XML registry is an enabling infrastructure for building, deploying, and discovering Web services. I read through most of this section but I didn’t really spend as much time on it as I should have.
The final section of the book deals with deployment. J2EE deployment is a total pain in the ass and anyone that’s spent hours fighting classpath issues in ear files will agree with me. The section on deployment is very detailed and very well written. I found it extremely helpful in setting up JAX-RPC mapping files along with other deployment descriptor. I have to agree with Richard’s comment at the end of Chapter 24 – Deployment descriptors sucks and have gotten overly complicated. Items like Cedric’s ejbc and XDoclet have done a great job in simplified the creation of ejb and web deployment descriptors and J2EE 1.5 should really address this issue.
My only complaint about this book is the lack of downloadable source code. I did email Richard and he very graciously replied saying the book is really more of a reference than a tutorial. Hopefully he’ll change his mind and put together a source code distribution for this book.
If you are going to be building Web Services in Java, want to learn more about the alphabet soup of Web Services or just want to learn more about WS-I and BP1 and how to build interoperable Web Services, this is the book for you. I found this book to be very helpful and plan to use it for my Web Services class. This book is a must for any J2EE Web Services developer. | <urn:uuid:8fd87a77-4d53-4982-af86-e9d26f73b2aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://j2eegeek.com/2004/02/12/j2ee-web-services/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.929269 | 917 | 1.507813 | 2 |
Cruel Ghouls: New Digital Scams Target Every Age Group
There are few situations more personal than a distressed family member calling to ask for financial help. But personal is precisely the angle bad actors are taking these days in scams that target both the young and old.
Grandparents Fall for ‘Help!’ Scams
Called “The Grandparent Scam,” this con usually begins with a simple, “Hi, Grandma!” from a criminal posing as the victim’s grandchild who claims to be in trouble. Then comes the ask — that the loving (and worried) Grandparent wire money for bail, airfare, a collision, or some other emergency. Some scammers have even managed to spoof the incoming caller ID to read “U.S. District Court.”
Safe Family Tips: 1) Ask the caller to prove who they are and call the child’s parent or another relative to verify the situation. 2) Never wire money, gift cards, or send cash by courier. 3) Be skeptical of “urgent” requests and tearful pleas for cash or personal information.
Tricksters Target Millennials
While it’s hard to imagine being duped by this kind of phone call, you might be surprised to learn that it’s younger people falling hardest for scams. The Federal Trade Commission reports that Millennials (20-30-year-olds) are most likely to lose money to online fraud. The top 5 scams targeting Millennials include online shopping, business imposters, government imposters, fake check scams, and romance scams.
Safe Family Tips: Be skeptical when shopping online. Cybercriminals have created countless look-a-like merchant sites to gain access to your credit card and other personal information. Confirm the seller’s physical address and phone number before you make a purchase. Consider putting security software on your family’s devices that protect against malware, viruses, and provide families with Virtual Private Network (VPN) encryption for safe shopping.
Hackers Exploit Schools, Students
With many school districts operating on a hybrid virtual and in-class education model, the digital gap between teachers and remote students has given bad actors a new channel to launch ransomware, phishing, and social engineering scams against exposed IT infrastructures. According to the FBI, “cyber actors are likely to increase targeting of K-12 schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Too, a recent Microsoft Security Intelligence study found that 61 percent of the 7.7 million malware over the previous month targeted education, a number far higher than other sectors. Scams include malware attacks on e-learning platform ransomware attacks on larger districts.
Safe Family Tips: Inquire about on-site security measures in place at your child’s school. Look into software to protect your home network and personal devices against cyberattacks launched through email, school networks, or social media sites.
How’s Your Cyber Hygiene?
Your best defense against a scam — should it come via phone, email, or a website — is a solid offense. Consider boosting your cyber hygiene routine by using strong passwords, a VPN, and staying informed about the latest scams. By now, we know the bad actors online don’t discriminate based on age; they are out to steal data and dollars from anyone who lets down their guard.

If you own a television or have walked down the baking aisle of your local grocery store, you are probably familiar with Splenda’s ad slogan, “Made from sugar, so it tastes sugar.” This catchy little jingle has led many consumers to assume that Splenda—or sucralose—is a more natural alternative to sweeteners such as aspartame and saccharine, making it a healthier option as well. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, author of “Sweet Deception: Why Splenda, NutraSweet, and the FDA may be Hazardous to your Health,” the sucralose found in Splenda is NOT sugar, but rather a chlorinated artificial sweetener constructed in a lab by combining three chlorine molecules with one sucrose molecule to create a decidedly unnatural fructo-galactose molecule that can wreak havoc on your health.
While the FDA approved sucralose for general human consumption in 2006, only two of the 110 cited studies actually involved human consumption, for a grand total of 36 human test subjects. Meanwhile, Splenda consumers continue to complain of headaches, migraines, dizziness, blurred vision, seizures, blood sugar spikes, and even—God forbid—weight gain, and there is evidence to support Dr. Mercola’s claim that the ramifications of long-term consumption are more severe. According to a study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, sucralose reduces the amount of good intestinal bacteria by as much as 50 percent, while increasing intestinal PH and thus impeding digestion and nutrient absorption. In addition, sucralose impairs the body’s ability to produce glycoproteins essential for the absorption of various medications—to include cancer, heart, and Lyme disease meds.
The take-away message is clear; despite FDA approval, Splenda has NOT been proven safe for human consumption, and should be avoided whenever possible. The problem is that sucralose hides in many manufactured food products, and particularly in reduced-sugar products. As a result, you may not always know when you are consuming sucralose, or in what quantity. My advice is to read your labels, look for products sweetened with stevia—more on this later—as opposed to sucralose, and by all means refrain from dumping a spoonful of Splenda into your coffee or morning bowl of Cheerios. If you’re in a pinch, choose a product that lists another sweetener BEFORE sucralose on the product label, as ingredients are typically listed in order by quantity, and products contain more of those ingredients listed sooner rather than later. | <urn:uuid:65aa5a6a-6ddd-4b79-b07c-c3339b82f231> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://restorativehealthclinic.com/is-splenda-safe/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.920778 | 555 | 2.90625 | 3 |

Gondwana , also Gondwanaland or more rarely Gondwania , is the name of the major continent that existed in the southern hemisphere during most of the known history of the earth . From the late Carboniferous to the Jurassic , Gondwana formed the southern part of the supercontinent Pangea over a period of about 150 million years , with an area of about 73 million km² during the Permian .
At least twice, Gondwana formed a supercontinent together with the northern continental floes of Laurasia :
The great continent was formed in the early Earth period ( Precambrian ) by the collision of East and West Gondwana - fragments of Rodinia - in the course of the Pan-African orogeny 600 million years ago. After it was grouped around the South Pole for a long time, it merged in the late Carboniferous (approx. 310 million years ago) in the course of its drift to the north with the then North American-Scandinavian continent Laurussia and the craton of Asia to form the supercontinent Pangea . The connection between Gondwana and North America lasted until about 180 million years ago ( Jura ). After that, Gondwana existed again as an independent major continent, which however began to break up around 150 million years ago (towards the end of the Jura), initially between Africa and Madagascar, and most recently between Australia and the Antarctic.
After the breakup of Gondwana - as a fragment of Pangea - about 100 million years ago, Africa collided with Europe in the course of the continental drift , which bulged the Alps , while the collision of India with Asia in the Paleogene created the Himalayas . This recent process is called Alpidic orogenesis .
Climate, geography and vegetation
In the course of the Phanerozoic Gondwana was twice covered by glaciers and ice sheets, the first time during the Andes-Sahara Ice Age (also called the Brain-like Ice Age or Silur-Ordovician Ice Age). This began around 460 million years ago in the Upper Ordovician , reached its climax at the last Ordovician stage of the Hirnantium and ended in the Lower Silurian 430 million years ago. On the basis of glacial deposits, the drift and the direction of movement of the major continent over the southern polar regions could be reconstructed in chronological order. The core area of the glaciation was concentrated on the Arabian plate 450 to 440 million years ago and then on today's Sahara, then migrated westwards towards South America (Brazil and the lower Amazon region) and 430 million years ago did not cover the region of the then in a weaker form existing Andean chain .
During the Permocarbon glaciation (also known as the Karoo Ice Age ), Gondwana again became the center of large-scale glaciation. This affected what is now southern Africa and large parts of South America between 359 and 318 million years ago. In a second glacial phase in the Pennsylvania 318 to 299 million years ago, the ice sheets shifted to the cratons of India and Australia, before southern Africa glaciated again during the Dwyka Glacial (until 280 million years ago). The Permocarbone Ice Age was the second longest ice age in the history of the earth. It comprised a large part of the Carboniferous and ended during the Permian about 265 million years ago. The position of Gondwana in the Antarctic , which has changed little over many millions of years, was a major climatic factor for the formation of the two Paleozoic glacial periods, since ice formations on the mainland are generally more stable and voluminous than over the open sea and are caused by the process of ice albedo Further reinforce feedback .
In the Upper Carboniferous ( Kasimovian stage ) a rapid reduction of the rainforests near the equator occurred 305 million years ago (English Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse ). The tropical forests were decimated to a few islands of vegetation within a geologically very short period of time, and many wetlands and marshlands also disappeared. During the transition from the Carboniferous to the Permian , new forest biotopes were created, which were adapted to a cooler and dry climate with seasonal temperature fluctuations. An example of this change is the cold-resistant and deciduous Glossopteris flora in the southern part of Gondwana, which there developed into a species-poor but widespread type of plant.
Large continents and supercontinents are characterized by a pronounced continental climate with an annual temperature amplitude of up to 50 ° C, extensive arid and desert areas in the interior, and a low level of biodiversity in the fauna area . After the major continents Laurussia and Gondwana merged in the Upper Carboniferous to form the supercontinent Pangea and thus to form a huge continental barrier, the water and heat exchange of the equatorial ocean currents was interrupted. Instead, Antarctic cold water flowed increasingly north along the coast of Gondwana.
In 1861, the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess suggested the name Gondwana for the primary continent . The name comes from the Gondwana region in central India (from Sanskrit gondavana "land of the Gonds ", after the Indian people ).
The adjective gondwana is used in biogeography to describe distribution patterns of living organisms that occur only in two or more of the now spatially separated regions that were once part of Gondwana, including the restricted Antarctic flora . For example, the silver tree family (Proteaceae) is only known in southern South America, South Africa and Australia; it is therefore "gondwana-distributed".

WordPress is a platform that allows you to create and manage content on your website. A lot of people already know that they can create and publish blogs with WordPress, and because it’s free, it’s very likely that you know someone who has used it. WordPress has been around since 2003, and because its interface looks very similar to popular word processors, it’s even been used by high school and college students for assignments. In fact, a lot of individuals use WordPress to keep up with friends and family.
Since its inception, however, WordPress has grown to become a fully-customizable website creation tool. Because it is open-source, all of the files and information needed to make it customizable is available for free. WordPress is the foundation that is supporting websites and blogs for large corporations, local governments, universities, small businesses, and more.
The WordPress Platform
One of the things that makes WordPress easy for people who are trying to build their website without using a WordPress web design company is the interface. There are many ways to build a website and many reasons why you should choose some methods over others. WordPress is meant for content creation, so you’ll see text boxes instead of other visual design tools. You don’t have an opportunity to actually see how your content is going to look on the website, though, since the interface is more closely related to a word processor. Without a strong background in WordPress, the process can feel like one is walking blind since you won’t know how the content will look on the actual web page when you are building it.
That’s where our digital marketing team skilled in WordPress comes in. At On The Map Marketing, we have designed and developed websites for Fortune 500 companies and small mom-and-pop shops alike. Our in-house team of techno-creatives can also integrate the following into your website:
- Search engine optimization
- Social media
- App development
WordPress is one of the most popular open-source content management systems used by millions of websites. Because it’s free and easy to install an upgrade, it is accessible to all people and companies. There are some other really great features that make WordPress the preferred method of developing a website.
There are thousands of plug-ins and templates that can be used with WordPress. These plug-ins can add eye-catching visuals to your website and make it much more customizable. Because it has such a flexible framework it is easy for designers and developers to create and modify websites using WordPress.
Here are some examples of plug-ins you can incorporate into your WordPress website:
- WPForms: If you’re looking to add an easy contact form for your visitors to fill out, then this plug-in is a must-have. In fact, because WPForms works well with other marketing and payment platforms, you can easily create relevant forms for your company in a matter of minutes.
- MonsterInsights: This allows you to connect your website with Google Analytics which will help you to figure out how people are getting to your WordPress website and from what sources. While there is a free version, the paid version is far more robust.
- Constant Contact: This will enable you to build up an email list of your website visitors and to stay in touch with those users after they have left your website.
- HubSpot: This is a marketing and sales that takes submissions from your website and builds them into a database. This allows you to manage your sales and marketing activities much more efficiently, and streamline the sales funnel process.
- W3 Total Cache: This plug-in increases web page loading speeds on WordPress websites, which is a valuable feature for any website. If you’re having problems with higher traffic volume going to your website, then W3 Total Cache can help you maintain optimal speeds even during spikes.
Your company is not like any other company, so you don’t want to look like everyone else. While there are templates that people can use for blogging, our experts at On The Map Marketing take advantage of WordPress’ open-source software and multiple tools to meet the demands of our clients.
WordPress is one of the least expensive Open Source content management systems out there. In fact, this makes WordPress even less expensive, because every time there is an update you are not locked out by proprietary software that requires you to pay extra. Updates happen all the time for many good reasons, and while they can improve efficiency, they generally can be difficult for web developers and website owners. But with WordPress, it’s a lot easier.
The Process of Developing a WordPress Website
The process can vary depending on whether or not you already have an existing website. But in general, the first steps are to pick a platform and a name for your website. Then you will want to work with your On The Map Marketing project manager to create a clear list of goals for your WordPress website. We don’t run straight into the technical aspects of building a website. A great WordPress website is built with careful planning and strategy.
Content is one of the most important features of a website. With our cadre of content writers, you can post original, fresh content regularly to keep your visitors coming back, or sharing your website with others who might be interested in what you have to say. At On The Map Marketing we like to say “Content is King” because it can be what pulls in your audience, or drives them away. Content is more than just blog posts. If you visit an attorney’s website and there are a lot of typos, then you’re not going to hire that attorney.
Next, we get down to actually creating the visual aspects of your new website. This is where getting to know you comes in, as our efforts to understand your brand pay off in it being reflected in your website’s theme. Call today to learn more about the website our WordPress website design company can build for you. | <urn:uuid:2ef5ac20-1836-46ee-af12-bb2314ec3269> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.onthemap.com/digital-marketing-services/wordpress-website-design/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.937271 | 1,255 | 2.078125 | 2 |

It may be possible to combat jet-lag by improving player schedules, according to Eric Buschbacher.
Professional sports players have demanding schedules that require frequent travel across the country. The NBA has an 82-game season, not including playoffs. Other sports have even lengthier seasons like the MLB, which has 162 games in a regular season. No matter which sport, there’s no question that the demands of traveling play a toll on both the players and their performance. In basketball, however, that strain is amplified.
Avid sports fan, Eric Buschbacher, notes that even the most talented NBA players sometimes fall short when faced with challenging schedules. NBA teams travel across all four time zones and play an average of three games per week. Western Conference teams seem to have the upper hand. Statistics show that Eastern Conference teams traveling west have more difficulty winning evening games.
The body’s natural circadian rhythm helps us internally keep track of time by telling us when to sleep and wake up. Eric Buschbacher explains that when athletes travel across time zones, their internal clock is thrown off, leaving them sleepy and jet-legged. That feeling is multiplied by the number of time zones traveled back to back. Depending on the location, some games are just harder to win than others, even if the team’s players are outstanding.
According to our circadian rhythm, peak performance hours are in the late afternoon and early evening. NBA teams that travel from the west to evening games in the east play during that peak performance period. Adversely, teams traveling from east to west are playing when they would otherwise be sleeping.
Eric Buschbacher further explains that plane travel has negative effects on health and recovery. Pressurized cabins have low oxygen levels, and cramped quarters lead to stiff muscles, which slows recovery in between games. Research has also found a connection between traveling and injuries. Tired players that bounce between cities are more likely to get hurt than players who compete in back to back home games.
Although improvements have been made with scheduling in recent years, leagues trying to optimize player performance should look to book games only during natural peak hours. Eric Buschbacher believes power naps and hydration are also vital to recovery.

1. Computer fundamentals
The order or sequence in which the bytes of a data is stored in a computer memory. It is expressed as
big-endian (BE) or
Big-endian: The most significant byte (MSB) is stored at the smallest memory address.
Little-endian: The least significant byte (LSB) is stored at the smallest memory address.
2. Stack & Heap: Memory Allocation and management in python
When a variable is declared, for example
x=y both have the same value memory, i.e both variable points to the same object. Python optimizes memory utilisation by allocating the same object reference to a new variable if object already exists in memory with same value.
Memory address stored by a variable can be found using
The order of memory allocation in RAM is as follows (Low to high),
Heap is responsible to store all the values. A stack stores hold the references to the objects in the heap.
stack does not have any relation to the data structure.
3. Processes and Threads
A process is a program that is currently under execution, whereas a thread is an execution entity that reside within a process that can be scheduled for execution. 1
A thread is an
execution unit with its own stack and set of registers that reside in a process. A thread always belongs to exactly one process.
Threads are also known as light-weight processes.
In a multi-threaded process, each thread has its own stack and registers but shares the same memory. This lets access to code segments, files and data be shared among threads. | <urn:uuid:562dd12b-5220-45c1-9fae-834088b599c2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.siddeshsambasivam.com/courses/leetcode-interview-preparation/1.-memory-and-process-related-stuff/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.929342 | 367 | 3.59375 | 4 |
Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 21.
Abraham and Sarah laughed and God still fulfilled His promise. The fulfillment promised in Genesis 12 has come true which did not end brokenness in the world and tensions instantly bubble up. From Isaac would come a Savior, yet, God’s promises were not only for him, but also for Hagar and Ishmael. The events were seemingly insignificant but God provides what is needed for them and for us in Christ. “Lord God, as You fulfilled Your promises of old, may You keep Your promises among us as well. Provide for the needs of Your people as lean on the promise of Christ’s forgiveness, life, and salvation. In His name, Amen”
Thy Strong Word reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
Thy Strong Word is hosted by Rev. Brady Finnern, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Sartell, MN, and graciously underwritten by the Lutheran Heritage Foundation.
The Birth of Isaac
21 The Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did to Sarah as he had promised. 2 And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him. 3 Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.[a] 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 And Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me.” 7 And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
God Protects Hagar and Ishmael
8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.[b] 10 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” 11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. 12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named. 13 And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.” 14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18 Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” 19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. 20 And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert with the bow. 21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
A Treaty with Abimelech
22 At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do. 23 Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my descendants or with my posterity, but as I have dealt kindly with you, so you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned.” 24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized, 26 Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today.” 27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant. 28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart. 29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?” 30 He said, “These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that this[c] may be a witness for me that I dug this well.” 31 Therefore that place was called Beersheba,[d] because there both of them swore an oath. 32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army rose up and returned to the land of the Philistines. 33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God. 34 And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines.

Intermittent fasting reduces Multiple Sclerosis (MS)-like symptoms, a study on mice by U.S. researchers shows.
MS is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system)
In the study, mice were either allowed to eat freely or fed every other day for four weeks before receiving an immunisation to trigger MS-like symptoms.
Both groups of mice then continued on their same diets for another seven weeks.
The mice that fasted every other day were less likely to develop signs of neurological damage such as difficulty walking, limb weakness and paralysis.
Some of the fasting mice did develop MS-like symptoms, but they appeared later and were less severe than in the mice that ate their fill every day.
In addition, the fasting mice’s immune systems seemed to be dialed down.
As compared with mice that took daily meals, those that ate every other day had fewer pro-inflammatory immune cells and more of a kind of immune cell that keeps the immune response in check.
“There are several possible ways fasting can affect inflammation and the immune response,” said Laura Piccio, an associate professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
“One is by changing hormone levels. We found that levels of the anti-inflammatory hormone corticosterone were nearly twice as high in the fasting mice.”
The researchers said fasting also could act through the gut microbiome. A change in the makeup of the gut community could alter whether the immune system has a pro- or anti-inflammatory bent.
After four weeks, the mice that fasted sheltered a more diverse ecosystem in their guts than mice that ate every day.
In particular, the fasting mice had more of the soothing probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus, which other studies in mice have linked to milder MS-like symptoms.
Moreover, transferring gut bacteria from fasting mice to non-fasting mice made the recipients less susceptible to developing MS-like symptoms, suggesting that something in the microbial community was protecting the mice.
Based on this mice study that was published earlier June in the journal Cell Metabolism, the researchers at the university are now recruiting human patients with relapsing-remitting MS for a 12-week study. | <urn:uuid:28229fe8-8f6e-4ea8-a53c-b4c30a895b27> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.xtra.net/technology/science/study-fasting-reduce-multiple-sclerosis-symptoms | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968574 | 470 | 3.34375 | 3 |
Vicks VapoRub is topical ointment manufactured by Vicks, one of the most widely used home remedies for a variety of health concerns. The active ingredients in VaporRub include camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol. These agents make VapoRub available to the uses on the throat and chest as a cough suppressant owing to common cold as well as on the joints and muscles as a topical analgesic. This product is available in regular and lemon scented varieties.
Uses of Vicks VapoRub
There are many uses of Vicks VapoRub which makes this product one of the most widely used home remedies worldwide.
1. For Cough and Cold
- Apply to the Chest and Throat. The power of Vicks to decongest the chest is legendary. This remedy has been used for decades and provides excellent relief of cough, cold and congestion caused by common illness.
- Apply to Your Feet. The menthol stimulates receptors in the nose and chest and effectively relieves a cough. Vicks has been used for this purpose for over one hundred years. Apply a generous amount to your feet and cover with socks to enjoy a good night of cough-free sleep.
- Add to Humidifiers. Some humidifiers are equipped with an aromatherapy chamber and Vicks is the perfect way to diffuse the decongestant effects in the air. This can help ease the unpleasant symptoms of a cough and common cold.
2. For Sore Muscles
The topical effects stimulate blood flow to the tissues that helps to relief sore muscles and aches. Vicks is an effective remedy for muscles sore from an intense workout.
3. For Nail Fungus
Vicks has been shown to have anti-fungal properties and is an effective way to treat nail fungus. Apply daily and the nail will start to darken as the fungus is killed. Keep applying until the new healthy nail fully grows out.
4. For Headaches
Massage a small amount into the temple area. The pain relief and soothing effects will be evident in a matter of minutes.
5. For Minor Wounds
The active ingredients of Vicks work to inhibit bacterial growth and prevent infection of paper cuts and splinters. Dab a tiny amount on the injured area once a day.
6. For Pets and Other Uses
- Stop Your Cat from Scratching. Apply a small amount to the undersurface of furniture or hard surfaces that your cat repetitively scratches. This is a simple deterrent to save your furniture for the sharp claws.
- Prevent Pets from Peeing. Most pets do not like the smell of Vicks and setting an open container on or near the area of in-home accidents can deter your pet from using that area for urinating in the house.
- Used in Racehorses. The power of Vicks is evident by its use in the racehorse arena. Jockies apply a small amount in the racehorse nostrils to deter them from reacting to smells and the detracting odors present in the stable or racetrack.
- Keep Insects Away. Mosquitoes are drawn to us by our smell. Rub a little Vicks on exposed skin areas such as the neck, arms or ankles to keep these pesky insects away. Insects are sensitive to the odor of Vicks and it works as an excellent deterrent. It can also work to keep bees away from your bird feeders. Applying Vicks to a tick can help the tick release and back out.
Instructions of Using Vicks VapoRub
Vicks can be rubbed on the chest, throat and on sore muscles and joints. Covering the area with a warm moist cloth can intensify the relief. Be sure to keep clothing loose to allow vapors to reach the nose and mouth for inhalation. It is safe to repeat and reapply up to three times in a 24 hour time period. Do not use in any child less than 2 year of age. VapoRub is often used immediately prior to sleep.
Follow these recommendations to avoid adverse reactions or consequences from using Vicks.
- Only use it externally.
- Do not ingest or put in the mouth or eyes.
- No not wrap tightly under bandages or dressings.
- Keep it out of the nose and on large or open wounds.
- Do not heat up or microwave Vicks.
- Avoid adding hot water to a Vicks container as this can result in splashing and skin irritation or burns.
Safety Concerns of Vicks VapoRub
Although VapoRub has plenty of benefits and can be used among most people, there are also several safety concerns need users to pay attention to.
1. Local Irritation
Vicks VapoRub can cause irritation of the skin resulting in redness, itching or soreness. The active ingredients can irritate wounds and open skin in sensitive individuals. Exposure to the eyes will result in tearing and burning. Excess heat can amplify these side effects and local reactions.
2. Breathing Problems
One study reported that Vicks caused increased mucus production and congestion making breathing more difficult. Vicks inside the nose has occasionally caused distress and significant trouble breathing. This problem seems more common in those that have underlying lung problems and children with reactive airways such as those with asthma.
3. Camphor Poisoning
Camphor overdose can occur during accidental ingestion. Camphor is irritating to the stomach and also irritates the throat and mucus membranes. Serious side effects include muscle spasm, twitching and even seizures. Other serious effects include vomiting, intense thirst and in worse case, loss of consciousness. Vomiting should not be induced as the camphor will cause additional irritation if vomiting occurs. Accidental ingestion should prompt evaluation in the emergency room.
4. When to See a Doctor
- Anyone experiencing side effects should stop using and remove Vicks from the skin and seek advice from a doctor.
- If a cough or cold lasts longer than 7 days, or excess phlegm, shortness of breath, chest pain or severe headache occurs seek care from a doctor.
- Persons with chronic lung conditions such as asthma or COPD should ask their doctor before using Vicks.
- Pregnant or breast feeding women should ask their doctor about using Vicks.
- Always keep medicine and over-the-counter remedies away from children. In the advent of an accidental ingestion seek medical help and contact your local Poison Control Center. | <urn:uuid:3b07394d-bddb-437d-a168-c90b3898c48d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.healthcare-online.org/Vicks-Vapor-Rub.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.92686 | 1,336 | 1.570313 | 2 |
Display Technology Solution
Silvaco’s product suite is used for design of both thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD displays and organic LED (OLED) displays. With the growth in adoption of smartphones, flat-screen TVs, smart watches and more this is an area of increasing importance. Almost all manufacturers of displays use the Silvaco suite for design and most of these designs are in high-volume manufacturing.
For TFT design there is full support for amorphous silicon (a-Si), p-Si, a-IGZO and organic TFT processes. There is also full support for active matrix OLED and LCD design.
Silvaco has a complete flow from TCAD-to-Signoff for display design. The device characteristics that TCAD produces can be used for a first level of analysis and then special SPICE compact models such as RPI for a-Si TFT or UOTFT for organic and oxide TFTs can be created for SPICE simulation.
A typical flow would include the Victory Process and Victory Device simulator to model the intrinsic electrical characteristics of novel transistors, such as TFTs. The Clever 3D extractor determines a pixel’s parasitic RC values to ensure that the display has the sensitivity required to meet performance specification. For electrical analysis of devices, such as TFTs, transistor modeling is done with Utmost IV. The SmartSpice simulator utilizes Utmost models to show waveform behavior of the array circuitry found in displays.
Because displays are large, sometimes very large, the simulation capacity is very important. SmartSpice Pro runs with parallel cores and huge capacity to handle the largest displays. Display hysteresis can also be simulated. Design capture and layout are done with the Gateway schematic editor and the Expert high-capacity layout editor, which together improve designer productivity and reduce errors. Silvaco provides the complete solution necessary for successful display design.

To Explain: that Agriculture and Human Ecology are enrolling independent. Therefore, they are not independent. To Explain: firstborn and enrolling in Human Ecology are disjoint. Therefore Human Ecology and being first born are not disjoint. To Explain: that firstborn and enrolling in Human Ecology are independent.
What is the probability that the person is a human ecology student?
The probability that a student is in Human Ecology is 0.1928. irst-born 0.5067. The probability that a student is a first born is 0.5067.
Are having health insurance and a retirement plan independent events?
c) Having health insurance and a retirement plan are not independent events. 68% of all workers have health insurance, while 87.5% of workers with retirement plans also have health insurance. If having health insurance and a retirement plan were independent events, these percentages would be the same.
Is the probability of a given b the same as the probability of B given a Explain?
Is the probability of “A given B” the same as the probability of “B given A?” Explain. Yes, because due to the General Multiplication Rule, it doesn’t matter which set is A and which set is B. You hvae to multiply the probability of A and the probability of B to find the outcome.
Are the events disjoint?
Events are considered disjoint if they never occur at the same time; these are also known as mutually exclusive events. Events are considered independent if they are unrelated.
How do you know if events are independent?
28. Events A and B are independent if the equation P(A∩B) = P(A) · P(B) holds true. You can use the equation to check if events are independent; multiply the probabilities of the two events together to see if they equal the probability of them both happening together.
How is conditional probability written and what does it mean how do you find conditional probability?
Key Takeaways. Conditional probability refers to the chances that some outcome occurs given that another event has also occurred. It is often stated as the probability of B given A and is written as P(B|A), where the probability of B depends on that of A happening.
How do you know if disjoint is PA or B?
The addition of probabilities for disjoint events is the third basic rule of probability: Rule 3: If two events A and B are disjoint, then the probability of either event is the sum of the probabilities of the two events: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
What happens to the addition rule when two events considered are disjoint?
If two events are disjoint, then the probability of them both occurring at the same time is 0. If two events are mutually exclusive, then the probability of either occurring is the sum of the probabilities of each occurring.
When did the College of Agriculture and Human Ecology change its name?
In 2007, the College of Agriculture and Human Ecology was restructured to include Nursing and was renamed the College of Agricultural and Human Sciences. In 2013, Nursing left the College to become an independent unit; the College of Agriculture and Human Sciences returned to its roots as the College of Agriculture and Human Ecology.
When did the Department of Agriculture become part of the Department of Home Economics?
In 1938 , the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Home Economics became part of the Division of Professional and Technical Subjects. These two departments were reorganized in 1949-50 as the School of Agriculture and Home Economics, with a Division of Agriculture and a Division of Home Economics.
What is human ecology?
Human ecology programs often incorporate elements of social sciences, as well as design and technology in their curriculum. This multidisciplinary approach will help prepare you to become an effective professional in careers where you will be solving complex problems that help meet the changing needs of individuals, families, communities, …
What is an internship in human ecology?
Pursuing an internship (for our purposes also known as a practicum, field placement, or co-op work opportunity) in a career field related to your human ecology degree is the best way to gain relevant work experience while you’re still in school.
What are the skills required to become a human ecology graduate?
Human Ecology graduates are equipped with a unique and diverse skill set . Most graduates have at least a basic level of knowledge in areas as diverse as nutrition, interior design, graphic design, family sciences, communications, marketing and many other areas. | <urn:uuid:03155841-7f89-4f92-ad8a-b1d9055b8843> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://agrifarmingtips.com/are-enrolling-in-agriculture-and-human-ecology-disjoint/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967384 | 951 | 3.203125 | 3 |
The lingual braces is on back side of each tooth. It has own unique shape-unlike the front of each tooth. Each lingual bracket must be custom-formed to the unique shape of each individual tooth. Treatment for lingual braces are usually more difficult than that of standard braces, thus only orthodontists trained in lingual technique are able to offer this form of specialized treatment. No one can tell they are wearing these braces. Patients can enjoy the process of orthodontia while still retaining a natural smile.
Benefits of Lingual Braces
- Hidden thus not visible that braces are being worn
- Bite opening and better anchorage control
- Less speech hindrance
Procedure of Lingual Braces Treatment
- First Evaluation and diagnosis
- Medical records are made including a panoramic x-ray and celphlometric x-ray and study model
- An appropriate treatment plan is made based on analysis of the gathered information that is discussed with you
- Pre-orthodontic treatment
- Any required pre-orthodontic treatment is done such as tooth extraction, gum treatment or teeth scaling
- Taking an impression of the teeth for the lingual braces labwork to be made
- Fitting of braces
once lingual braces labwork is complete, allows the orthodontist to use a specific process to cement the braces onto the back surfaces of your teeth.
- Monthly visits are made to adjust your braces on monthly basis
- Retainers usually need to be worn during night time after braces are removed | <urn:uuid:88ed5804-b433-4b82-a920-50d96e21a1da> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dentalsignature.com/dental-services/orthodontic-dentistry/lingual-braces/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.9278 | 332 | 1.867188 | 2 |
WE in the West are still chasing blue horizons—whatever spells the
remote and the exotic. But Shangri-la often turns out to be an ecodisaster and,
with 23 million refugees worldwide, the locals may not even be at home. It’s a
volatile, guilt-inducing world, and Western nomads have to be up to it. Luckily,
some are, and their books take us to frontiers on the maps and of the mind.
It’s a tragic irony that true nomads are settling down just as millions of
amateurs take to the roads. In 1978 Robyn Davidson, famous for trekking with
camels across Australia, encountered camel-driving pastoralists in northern
India and burned to travel with them. Fourteen years later, her wish was
Desert Places (Penguin, £7.99, ISBN 014015762X), Davidson’s portrait of
the Rabari of Kutch, is a study of an inimitable culture in decline. Irrigated
farms turned salt wastelands, the shift from camels to sheep, which need richer
pasturage—all conspire to rob India and us of these singular people,
living antidotes to creeping global homogeneity.
Davidson’s observant eye sees fractals in the Rabari’s migratory patterns and
hope for us all in their enlightened sense of community. But she romanticises
nothing. The trek’s horrors compel her to face her own desert places—a
loathing of India, even all humanity.
Horrors and declining cultures on the grand scale figure in Sven Lindqvist’s
brilliant `Exterminate All the Brutes’ (Granta, £8.99, ISBN
1862070172). Like Davidson, Lindqvist is on a dual journey, travelling through
the Sahara with a laptop while he trawls through a chapter of appalling
depravity—Europe’s colonisation of Africa.
Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, based on the atrocities of the Belgian
Congo, sets Lindqvist off on a nightmare tour of whip-wielding bullyboys, racist
“science” from the likes of Georges Cuvier—founder of comparative
palaeontology—and the hijacking of Darwin’s Descent of Man as the
“survival of the fittest”. Add Europe’s economic imperative, and you have
genocide as policy, and the birth of Nazism.
Lindqvist’s insight into the psychology of violence stems, he says, from
childhood beatings. Jenny Diski deals with her mangled childhood by casting a
cold eye on it in Skating to Antarctica (Granta, £14.99, ISBN
1862070164). In a multilayered trip through time and space, Diski sets a
travelogue of her Antarctic cruise against memories of her young self at the
mercy of suicidal parents.
But soggy confessional isn’t her style. Early on she tells us she was a
precision skater from toddlerhood, a genuine ice queen. Hence the fascination
with Antarctica—the world’s biggest ice rink—and smooth getaways.
Diski avoided her mother, in fact, for 30 years, explaining her state of mind
with a Schrödingeresque metaphor she calls the “mother box”. Moving, crisp
and wildly funny, this is a fine book by someone who has, in any case, already
been to hell and back.
Light years away from the minimalist Diski sprawls One River (Simon
& Schuster, £20, ISBN 0684817004), Wade Davis’s swashbuckling epic of
ethnobotany in Amazonia. Its star is the legendary botanist Richard Schultes,
the tale of whose pioneering forays into remotest Colombia complements Davis’s
more recent search for wild coca.
Concerned, like Davidson, with disappearing cultures, Davis pays homage to
formidable Indian naturalists and healers. But Schultes towers over all, his
discoveries ranging from blight-resistant rubber trees to magic mushrooms.
Honorary father of psychedelia? No: “recreational use” didn’t produce the
visions recounted in this book. It’s serious stuff—science at the
borderlands of consciousness.
A forward-looking lot, these travellers, yet the great European explorers
haunt them. Diski can hardly avoid Shackleton, for instance, while the great
botanist Richard Spruce was sure to crop up in One River. | <urn:uuid:e2007c0e-28e7-4e56-acd2-476986d51dfc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg15520927-600-review-collected-works/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.85419 | 1,015 | 2.109375 | 2 |

When the necessary climate change financing is secured on a global scale (in our dreams) the paid Climate Contributions must be spent wisely and fair … but how and decided by whom? Well, the incriminated nations that burned fossil fuels excessively for decades knowing that it destroys the climate worldwide can’t be legitimate decision-making participants in the creation of a Global Climate Fund. Only Contribution Free countries can (including those who have paid their climate debt). The opposite seems to be the case in the everlasting and fruitless United Nations COP process.
In ClimatePositions 65 out of 145 countries were Contribution Free in 2010 (see the ranking ‘her’). The Climate Contributions (debt) of 29 out of 145 countries was less than $184 per capita. Combined the two country groups represent:
Imagine a kick start with the 29 countries paying their (relatively small) climate debt to a wise and fair Global Climate Fund: Then 5.2 billion people would benefit from $275 billion of project financing. Below are listed some issues to discuss regarding the allocation guidelines:
This setup would leave the remaining 51 worst performing countries, representing 22% of the global population and 58% of the CO2 Emissions, with a truly bad case. Their average CO2 Emissions are even larger today than in the 1990s¹ and their present total climate funding amounts to only $22 billion or 0.8% of their total climate debt in ClimatePositions 2010 (read about the funding ‘here‘).
¹ An average country in this group of countries emitted 10.9 tons of CO2 per capita in 1990s and 12.2 tons in 2011.

The Art of Discipline Part 9: Pursuing Relationship
I was meeting with a dear friend today, talking about discipline and the many facets the very WORD imply.
As I have said many times over the years. To discipline our children, is to DISCIPLE our children; to come along side, to teach, to instruct....
As we were talking, I began "preaching to the choir". :)
It is NOT up to our Children to pursue a relationship with US, but it is up to US, to pursue a Relationship with THEM!
As we talked, it became very clear in my mind that GOD, PURSUED US! He pursued RELATIONSHIP WITH US! He wanted to reveal Himself to us and show us His BEAUTY that we might have an active, LIVE relationship with HIM. He has given us an example of Father, Son, Family, RELATIONSHIP, so we could understand that He LOVES us, and gave HIMSELF up for us, that we could be in right relationship WITH HIM.
As parents, we should NOT wait for our children to seek us out, but we should SEEK THEM out!
Our children come to us through birth, adoption, adoption disruption, blended marriage, and foster care.
It is our job, A VERY IMPORTANT JOB, to get to know and understand our children; study them; what makes them tick, what their likes and dislikes are, and to pursue them for relationship.
As each of our dear children came into our lives, both our boys and our girls, we studied them. We learned their personality. We learned what they liked and disliked. We learned what made them laugh and what made them cry.
We went into THEIR world and worked hard to experience life from THEIR point of view.
It always helps to see things from our children's viewpoint. We can certainly learn a LOT, when we look at life from the viewpoint of a child.
Looking at life from a child's perspective will give us much grace and mercy and patience as we parent our precious ones.
I remember when our boys were little, I tried hard to practice seeing their disappointments so I could comfort them. When our son's "key car" didn't work, it was devastating to him, at 3. It was very important to him for it to work; his entire world crashed when it didn't. He didn't need me to get frustrated with his tears or brush off his disappointment with disdain.
He needed me to comfort him and take his disappointment seriously. After all, I wanted people to take me seriously and understand MY disappointments. Why was his any different, just because he was 3?
With our girls, life has been even more challenging, as they have lived part of their lives away from us. Much of those experiences before becoming "Minichs" were traumatizing and horrendous.
It was VERY VERY important for us to PURSUE relationship with them, and get to know them.
I often CRINGE when I read advice from people who tell new adoptive parents to "be firm", "don't give an inch or they'll take a mile", "lay down the LAW".... etc. etc. (those are actual words I read when somebody asked advice about bringing home new little ones)
HOW CAN WE JUDGE A CHILD'S INTENT of HEART WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE CHILD? It is VERY dangerous to assume! Many things were ASSUMED about our girls. And each of them were VERY, VERY hurt by those assumptions.
As parents we are to PURSUE RELATIONSHIP with our children and get to know them. They will most likely be way too afraid to seek relationship with us; especially our children who come to us through trauma.
Our example is God. He pursued us with open arms and great love.
Have we pursued our children with open arms and great love? Scripture says in Romans 5:7-8, "Even when we hated him, Christ died for us."
When our children react and act as though we are the enemy, do we open our arms with LOVE and pursue them?
As parents, we need to see the BIG PICTURE. Our children are children. They do NOT think like us. They are NOT adults; they do not THINK like adults!
Study your children, learning what they respond to best. There is a reason they do not come with instruction manuals. They are ALL individually different; wonderfully created by our Heavenly Father. Encourage them, seek them out for little talks and special times. Listen to them; you will LEARN A LOT! Court them, and earn their love, affection and devotion.
THEN.... when they feel valued and LOVED, you will have their respect and devotion.
And then, your teaching and discipling will have a GREAT effect on their lives.
PURSUE your CHILDREN with the OPEN ARMS OF LOVE.... | <urn:uuid:2e99c9cd-4744-42e9-8651-b2f5a5218678> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://minichfamily.minichfamilyblog.com/2012/10/the-art-of-discipline-part-9-pursuing.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.983253 | 1,170 | 1.625 | 2 |
Tesla has finally revealed when it will make sense for it to construct a factory in China. Tesla CTO JB Straubel, who was at the International Transport Forum in Leipzig last week, said when local demand reaches “critical mass,” the automaker will build a factory in China, according to China Daily.
Speculations about Tesla China factory
Where that threshold lies exactly cannot be said with certainty, but the second-biggest group of prerders for the upcoming Model 3 came from Chinese customers. The automaker is ramping up its production capacity for the Model 3, and recently, Tesla’s John McNeil suggested a Chinese factory could be part of the ramp.
A Chinese factory could come around 2019, CEO Elon Musk suggested last year. There are reports that Tesla has already searched for factory locations there. Tesla’s journey into China has been full of problems, as it missed regional sales targets and cut jobs in 2015. If the U.S. firm expands there, it will have to face a variety of risks.

Q2 2022 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Dear Gator Financial Partners: We are pleased to provide you with Gator Financial Partners, LLC’s (the “Fund” or “GFP”) 1st Half 2022 investor letter. This letter reviews the Fund’s 1st Read More
If Tesla’s California factory remains the center of Model 3 production, then Chinese customers’s wait will be longer than that of U.S. buyers. This can be seen as a major threat to the EV firm as all customers may not want to wait and could turn to local competitors.
China a tough market to crack
If Tesla builds a factory in China for the purpose of forestalling that threat, it will face another set of problems. Foreign companies that wish to do business in China are required to work with local partners and share technology.
Other global manufacturers believe it is important to form such alliances as it helps them avoid significant import duties that lead to higher prices for cars made outside the country. Tesla plans to explore partnerships with several Chinese automakers, but reportedly, it has not yet reached an agreement.
Meanwhile, China is ramping its own electric car sector quite aggressively, and the government there is offering large subsidies to help solve the air pollution crisis there. At present, the most prominent Chinese player is NextEV, but Foxconn and Tencent are also in the competition.
On Friday, Tesla shares closed up 2.36% at $220.28. Year to date, the stock is down by over 7%, while in the last year, it is down by over 11%. the stock has a 52-week high of $286.65 and a 52-week low of $14.05. | <urn:uuid:38369ed7-5389-4899-8097-4de4cfee480c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.valuewalk.com/2016/05/tesla-chinese-factory-demand-mass/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.958368 | 600 | 1.539063 | 2 |
Types Of Vitamins is very important question for every doctor and science student.Vitamins play an important role in the physiological functions of the body. Most of them have been identified chemically, and many have been synthesized and produced on a large scale.Vitamins are widely distributed in plant and animal tissues, most foodstuffs containing one or more of them, but none contains them all, and few are rich in them.
Only small amounts of vitamins are needed to maintain bodily health, but the old idea that they behaved as catalysts and their presence, in however small a quantity, was satisfactory, is now known to be incorrect. A definite daily intake is required depending on the body weight, the calorie intake, and the metabolic rate of the individual, and although the daily amount needed is in some instances quite small, in others it is comparatively large.
Before the identity of the various vitamins was discovered it w;m necessary to determine their potency by animal experiments and consequently the dosage was referred to in units, but now that most of them are available as pure chemical substances it has become increasingly common to give the dose in milligrams. With vitamins A and D, however, units are still employed.
You Must Know Fat-Soluble Vitamins And Other Different Types Of Vitamins In order To Understand Their functions In Human Body
Pure Vitamin A can be obtained in the form of pale yellow-coloured crystals. It is formed from a provitamin carotene, a substance which forms the colouring matter in carrots and is present in many other vegetable tissues.
Sources. Fish liver oils are a rich source; milk, cream, cheese, butter. Carotene, which can be converted into Vitamin A in the body, is present in carrots, green leafy vegetables, also in certain fruits, such as apricots, peaches, prunes, and tomatoes. When carotene is the source of Vitamin A in the diet a greater allowance must be given, as it is less easily absorbed from the intestine than Vitamin A itself.
Physiological Action and Uses. Vitamin A plays an important part in maintaining the normal, moist condition of the delicate mucous membrane lining of the eyes, nose, mouth, respiratory tract, bladder, and genital organs, the integrity of which is believed to aid in resisting infection, hence A has been called the anti-infection vitamin. It plays an important part in the formation of the dentine and enamel of the teeth, and is also essential for the production of visual purple in the retina which is necessary for seeing properly in semi-darkness.
A deficiency leads to:
1) Retarded growth in children.
- Increased liability to respiratory diseases such as the common cold, and bronchitis as well as infection of other organs lined by epithelial tissue as mentioned above.
- Hardening of epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea leading to xerophthalmia (dry eye), which, in severe degrees of deficiency, may lead to total blindness.
- Night blindness (defective vision in reduced illumination).
- Dryness and scaliness of the skin.
Vitamin A and carotene are stable to heat if oxidizing agents are jinl present, and ordinary cooking methods do not destroy the A present. Grilling or roasting for long periods may produce a considerable loss.
It is the antirachitic or calcifying vitamin, In concerned with the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus.various forms of Vitamin D arc known, but only two are of practical importance. Both are derivatives of sterols—-complex chemical substances occurring in vegetable and animal fats—which when exposed to (0 ultra-violet light acquire the power of preventing and rickets.
Physiological Action and Uses.
Vitamin D is essential for the absorption and retention of calcium and phosphorus, and maintaining the balance of these substances in the blood and tissues, and thus influences the formation of the bony skeleton. If the intake is deficient calcium is not deposited in the bones leading to:
- Rickets in children, the early signs of which are, profuse sweating, especially of the head; restlessness at night and general weakness. Later there is enlargement of the epiphyses- and curving of the long bones; enlargement of the ribs at the costo-chondral junction (‘ rickety rosary’) ; softening of the posterior bones of the skull (craniotabes); ‘ bossing ’ of the frontal and parietal bones (hot- cross bun head) and late closing of the fontanelle. Dentition is delayed and there is defective formation of dentine and enamel in both milk teeth and the permanent teeth.
- In adults softening of the bones (osteomalacia) in pregnant women, which frequently results in pelvic, deformity.
- Dental decay, especially in children and pregnant women.
Vitamin D has been employed in the treatment of various other conditions, such as respiratory affections, chilblains, arthritis, and skin diseases.Few common foods are rich in Vitamin D, consequently dietary supplements are frequently essential, especially during childhood and pregnancy.
The term Vitamin E is applied to a number of substances, known as tocopherols, which are present in the embryos of seeds and in green leaves, wheat germ and lettuce being good sources. Vitamin E is stable in the presence of heat, but is readily oxidized, especially by rancid fats.
Physiological Action and Uses.
In animals a deficiency of Vitamin E interferes with normal gestation, the foetus dying early in the period, and being reabsorbed. A less severe deficiency may permit, the young to proceed to term, but they develop a flaccid muscular paralysis. In the male animal there is complete loss of reproductive power.
Although its value in the human being has not been definitely established, there is evidence to show that it is of value in the treatment of certain types of abortion, in various neuromuscular disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and muscular dystrophies. It is usually administered either in the form of wheat-gorm oil or the more concentrated a-tocopheryl acetate. The hum.111 requirements of Vitamin E are not completely known.
Vitamin K is also described as the anti-haemorrhage vitamin, and represents a number of natural and synthetic substances, which, are derivatives of naphthoquinone. The human requirements are not definitely known Sources. Most green leaves contain Vitamin K, alfalfa (lucerne) and spinach being especially rich sources.
Physiological Action and Uses.
Although the exact action of Vitamin K has not yet been fully demonstrated it is known to be associated with the normal function of the liver and with the formation of prothrombin, essential for the coagulation of the blood. Bile salts are necessary for the absorption of Vitamin K, hence in obstructive jaundice absorption is deficient. Certain water-soluble derivatives are actively absorbed in the absence of bile.
As a deficiency of Vitamin K causes a low prothrombin level in the blood there will be a lengthened clotting time and a tendency to prolonged bleeding following injury. A dietary deficiency of Kt s rare, the common cause being imperfect absorption from the intestine due to deficiency of bile or to rapid passage of the contents. It may also occur following diseases of the liver when function is impaired. The therapeutic administration of Vitamin K is employed to prevent bleeding associated with a low prothrombin level such as occur in hepatic disease, obstructive jaundice, and in haemorrhage of the newborn.
The Water-soluble Vitamins Are Also Best Types Of Vitamins
Vitamin B1, the antineuritic vitamin, plays an important part in the functions of the body cells, and especially those of the central nervous system. Its chemical name is aneurin or thiamin; it can he isolated from rice polishings or yeast, but is now prepared synthetically. It is fairly stable, but is destroyed by long heating, or Seating above 120° C. and by the presence of alkali.It is present in the outer coating and germ of cereals, yeast, egg yolk, pork, liver, pulses, and nuts.
Physiological Action and Uses.
A large intake of carbohydrates increases the need for B1( whilst fat reduces the need for it. A raised metabolic rate increases the need for B1, as also do pregnancy and lactation. B1 is needed for the last stages of carbohydrate metabolism as it prevents the accumulation of lactic and pyruvic acids which interfere with tissue respiration.
Nicotinic Acid also has an important part in enzyme formation to assist tissue respiration. It is a white crystalline substance, stable to heat. Deficiency leads to a disease known as pellagra, characterized by a skin rash, especially in those parts exposed to light, wrists, ankles, and neck. Early symptoms of deficiency are weakness, loss of appetite, indigestion. Later the mouth is ul-. cerated, the tongue sore and scarlet in colour, the characteristic dermatitis is followed by derangements of the nervous system leading to paralysis and mental changes leading to insanity. In addition to the treatment of these symptoms, nicotinic acid has been used for Vincent’s infection of the mouth.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a colourless crystalline substance which occurs in green vegetables and fruits. It is rapidly oxidized, particularly in the presence of heat, consequently the prolonged cooking of fruits and vegetables leads to considerable loss.
Physiological Actions and Uses. Vitamin C is another important factor in tissue respiration. As a prolonged deficiency leads to scurvy it is often known as the antiscorbutic vitamin. Early signs of scurvy are weakness and lassitude, pain in the joints, swollen and tender gums followed later by ulceration and bleeding of the gums, loosening of the teeth, and haemorrhage under the skin and into internal organs. Mild deficiencies lead to swollen and tender gums, decreased resistance to infection, and delayed healing of wounds and fractures.
Vitamin C is widely used in the treatment of various affections. There is an increased demand during pregnancy and lactation, also in the presence of infection such as tuberculosis, typhoid, pneumonia, whooping cough, rheumatic fever, etc. Large doses are beneficial in rheumatism, in the healing of wounds and fractures, skin affections, especially those caused by the toxic effects of heavy metals, such as gold, bismuth, arsenic, and mercury. It also counteracts the toxic symptoms following such drugs as cinchophen and the sulphonamides, and plays a part in the treatment of certain haemorrhagic affections. Vitamin C helps in the formation of red- blood corpuscles, and has been used in the treatment of anaemias.
(citrin or hesperidin) is closely associated with Vitamin C, and is found in citrus fruits, and appears to be a factor in maintaining the resistance of the capillary walls. It is not yet decided what its exact function is, some maintaining that it has a specific effect, others claiming that it acts in conjunction with Vitamin C, It has been used for the treatment of certain haemorrhagic diseases, the purpuras, but its true role has yet to be evaluated. | <urn:uuid:b124bcd7-5dce-4c6d-bbcb-400baa06031a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://notesread.com/types-of-vitamins/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945904 | 2,410 | 3.515625 | 4 |

Across town, a white farmer, his shorts pulled up high to reveal sinewy legs ruddied by the sun, sits in a cafe tucking into eggs, bacon and beans. He has already had to leave his farm in fear of squatters. Unless the MDC wins the forthcoming elections, he insists, he will have to leave the country.
Around the corner, a former veteran who fought with the liberation movement, Zapu, explains why he is standing as an MDC candidate: "I left my home to vote for land and freedom and 20 years after liberation we are still fighting for both," he says. Three very different stories from one city in one day.
When a political party unites such disparate forces in a country with as many racial, ethnic and economic cleavages as Zimbabwe, it can mean only one of two things. Either what it opposes is so appalling that coming together to defeat it overrides all other social, economic or political differences; or that the party has policies so popular that they cohere what would otherwise be antagonistic groups in the common interest.
In the case of the MDC, it is the former. As Zanu-PF degenerates into armed thuggery, money grabbing, greed and economic illiteracy, Zimbabwe is in desperate need of an alternative. Zanu-PF, and its leader, President Robert Mugabe, once had strong Marxist roots; but all traces of ideology have withered, leaving it with only one purpose - staying in power. The MDC is the only party that can stop it.
It is for this reason that the international community's support for the MDC must be unwavering, but critical. Unwavering because the stakes are high and in such unfavourable circumstances it will need all the support it can get. Critical because it is untested in office, uncertain in opposition and unconvincing in some of its policy pledges.
Born a year ago from a peculiar alliance of trade unions, churches and big business, the MDC comprises mostly black members. It is, however, heavily reliant both politically and financially on the white minority. Its promise to pull Zimbabwe's troops from the war in the Congo would be a huge contribution to the economy and the nation as a whole. But its pledge to impose a 100-day IMF-style stabilisation programme and privatise all state-owned companies within two years would give as much pleasure to foreign bankers as it would inflict pain on the poor. Its northern neighbour, Zambia, has pursued similar plans with disastrous consequences.
Yet for all that, the MDC is the only viable alternative. A Zanu-PF victory in the upcoming elections would deliver a critical blow to democracy in Zimbabwe. Not only would it confirm the party leaders' mistaken belief that power is theirs by right, but it could also establish political violence and intimidation as indispensable elements in the country's electoral culture.
The prospect of such a victory, even if the violence stopped tomorrow, is by no means absurd. Thanks to its record in the liberation struggle and its achievements in education, health and infrastructure during the early years, Zanu-PF retains a strong core of support, particularly in rural areas. Zanu-PF has the state-owned media on its side, receives state funds and President Mugabe has the right to appoint 30 of the 150 parliamentary seats.
If that's not enough, the constituencies are gerrymandered in his favour. And that is before they start cheating and bullying. According to one report, about a quarter of those on the electoral roll are dead. Moreover, election monitors have been beaten up, repressive police laws against political activity invoked and the MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, was detained over the weekend. The climate of fear and repression which Mugabe has unleashed makes it even more difficult for the MDC to participate in the electoral process.
The MDC leadership apparently understand this, but as yet its reaction has lacked political logic. Its supporters are being killed and beaten for wearing, and even owning, MDC T-shirts. The response has been to tell them to put away their T-shirts for their own safety. The trade union movement, which is fully behind the MDC, called off the traditional May Day celebrations for fear of political violence. Instead it told its supporters to stay home and pray for peace. Tsvangirai freely admits the election will be neither free nor fair; but he will contest it anyway. In short, he keeps saying he does not like the way things are going but he refuses to do anything substantive about it.
He has two other feasible options. Neither is without fault, but both are better than the course of action which he is following at the moment. He can withdraw from the elections altogether and declare the process bankrupt. This would, in effect, hand the election to Zanu-PF, but it is well on the way to strong-arming itself into power anyway. A pathetically low turnout and the lack of opposition would strip the government of all democratic legitimacy.
Or he can up the ante and lead a campaign of civil disobedience, demonstrations and strikes. This would cause further disruption in an already unsettled country and risk an escalation of violence if Mugabe were to retaliate in kind. But, since the violence is continuing and the economy is in freefall, this would be only a difference by degrees. And it would present a fully blown political challenge to Mugabe that he would not be able to undermine by picking off individuals in ones and twos and making examples of them.
But the MDC continuing on its present course would culminate in its both losing elections it could never win and legitimising a tainted victory.
The MDC's strengths and weaknesses are in its name. The fact that it stands for democracy and change are what make it such a vital political force. But so far it has proved itself to be less a movement than a holder of press conferences and rallies. This is partly the result of political repression, but partly due to an incoherent strategy for combating it.
Despite its faults, the challenge the MDC is posing to Mugabe's despotism is impressive even if much of its programme is not. For the time being, what it represents is more important than what it promises to do. If the MDC wins, and Zimbabweans don't like what it does, they will always be able to vote it out.
If Zanu-PF wins, it may not matter if Zimbabweans like what it does or not - for they may then lose the right to vote altogether. | <urn:uuid:8aaf5771-e82c-43b3-a042-540cedd228e7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.garyyounge.com/article/alternative-politics | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.977433 | 1,342 | 1.710938 | 2 |
It is no obscure fact that North Korea is a major violator of human rights guidelines with its authoritarianism and poverty and is a major threat to world peace with its incessant nuclear weapons tests. Therefore, why is North Korea allowed to be part of the UN? Do the UN not have membership guidelines that directly oppose the kind of behaviour that North Korea partake in?
TLDR: No real law is opposed to their actions and expelling them would suit nobody
According to the UN charter, membership is open to
is open to all peace-loving States that accept the obligations contained in the United Nations Charter and, in the judgement of the Organization, are able to carry out these obligations
Realistically, the peace-loving is usually ignored in form of the alternative definition of sovereign state. This is largely because several permanent members of the UN Security Council can rightly be accused of not being peace loving (Russia in Crimea; America in Iraq/Afghanistan/Vietnam etc.; Britain in Iraq, Afghanistan etc.)
Indeed, possession of nuclear weapons in not regulated directly by the United Nations, again because if nuclear weapon tests and possession of missiles was a factor which disqualified you from being in the UN, every single permanent member of the Security Council and then some would get disqualified.
And technically speaking, the nuclear tests aren't outright illegal, since again nobody really wrote too many laws concerning the topic because the countries who possessed and wanted nuclear weapons were the primary authors of international law.
North and South Korea were simultaneously admitted to the UN in 1991 long before they started conducting nuclear tests in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 702.
Now technically speaking North Korea could get expelled from the UN. Article 6 of the Charter describes as follows
A Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
This has never happened, and is unlikely to ever happen in the case of North Korea. This is because both Russia and China are permanent members of the UN security council, both of whose best interests are not served by expelling North Korea from the UN. To be fair no country's interests are best served by expelling North Korea from the UN, since suddenly you are cutting off dialogue and the possibility of negotiations to being an end to their nuclear program; as such if you refuse to negotiate a surrender of their nuclear program then the only option would be an invasion. An invasion that would result in catastrophic consequences (with or without nuclear weapons).
Basically, the United Nations is an international organisation and all independent and sovereign countries are members currently. Only states with limited recognition are not in the UN which includes Taiwan and Kosovo. The Vatican City and Palestine have both been an observer state.
So, since North Korea is recognised by the majority of countries and only doesn't have diplomatic relations with France, Japan, South Korea and the United States, it is a member of the UN.
In addition, even if North Korea violates UN rules and resolutions, it is hard to expel a member nation from the United Nations as it would require all 5 members of the Security Council to agree and China will likely veto any motion to expel the country.
Also, North Korea currently ignores international warnings and UN resolutions even though it's a member state. By expelling North Korea, it will have absolutely no reason to heed warnings issued by the UN.
In conclusion, it's not effective to expel North Korea from the UN, partly also due to the fact that it's difficult to expel a member nation.
You could argue the US is also
- a major violator of human rights (see Guantanamo)
- a major threat to world peace (see Illegal invasion of Iraq, Illegal war on Libya etc.)
and has produced more nuclear weapons than all other countries on earth combined. So, following your logic, the US should not be allowed to be part of the UN either. Not a fan of North Korea but you can't have it both ways.
It's better to have such a party at the table in a venue where these issues can be discussed with words, instead of leaving military conflict as their only channel for meaningful interaction with other countries. They do still have a (very slim) number of other options, but having more opportunities for diplomacy is generally better for peace than having less. | <urn:uuid:45379ddb-c392-4975-b322-17945e44dfe8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/20036/why-is-north-korea-allowed-to-be-in-the-un | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967594 | 890 | 2.4375 | 2 |

Curelator Headache Population Map Displays Trigger & Protector Profiles for 150 Migraineurs
Curelator Headache is a transformational digital tool that allows individuals to track and discover the myriad factors that are associated with: a) increasing; b) decreasing; or, c) have no effect on their risk of migraine headaches. The Company collaborated with some of the world’s leading migraine neurologists to develop a comprehensive list of migraine triggers and symptoms, which were translated visually into a series of pictorial icons titled, Visual Migraine Language (VML). VML factors and symptoms must be tracked daily for 45 to 90 days before an individual’s maps can be generated based on the analysis of their data.
An example of an anonymous individual user’s results – delivered in the format of three sets of maps: Trigger, Protector and No Association Maps can be seen in Figure 2. Users also receive a Personal Summary Report to share with their physician. All of this information is designed to help users experiment with behavior modifications with the goal of reducing the number and severity of their migraine attacks. Migraineurs who are interested in the product for their own use can purchase it on the Curelator Headache website.
NHF/Curelator Headache Study: What do migraine triggers & protectors of 150 individuals look like?
In a recent collaboration with the NHF, Curelator Headache recruited migraineurs to test the clinical utility of its digital platform. The NHF with their commitment to furthering clinical understanding of migraine was a perfect partner to recruit migraineurs who were likely to be interested in using such a tool.
The goal was to scientifically determine some of the conditions and factors that may trigger or protect an individual from a migraine headache attack. After they entered 90 days of data, we generated personalized results for 150 individuals, including NHF members across the U.S. as well as some individuals in the UK. Surprisingly, these results illustrate that virtually every migraineur is different – as shown visually in the interactive Curelator Headache Population Trigger Map.
This discovery has immediate therapeutic implications. The foremost is that in migraine (and perhaps other chronic diseases with episodic attacks as well), one treatment may not fit all. Therefore, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to find a common therapy for everybody. This would certainly help explain the puzzle and frustration of limited effectiveness of current migraine therapeutics.
Triggers in some are protectors in others? Really?
In the study results shown in the NHF Population Trigger Map, Curelator Headache went one step further than simply looking for migraine triggers: it also looked for factors that were associated with decreasing an individual’s risk of an attack, so-called “protectors”. Doesn’t it become a singularly depressing mandate to find all the things in life we need to avoid? Why not look for positive things to embrace as well? But perhaps even more important, protectors revealed yet another level of individuality; triggers in some people appear to be protectors in others!
By looking at the individual associations of various factors we can see that many appear as triggers in some individuals and protectors in others. This is potentially a very important discovery because it leads directly to the following question. If certain factors can be triggers in some and protectors in others, could it be possible that some people are able to neutralize their triggers or possibly even turn them into protectors?
The best way to answer this question was to interview as many of the patients in the study as possible to understand the details of each individual’s condition. Fortunately we were able to interview several dozen people in the people in the study. Here is what we found.
Car Travel. In six patients, car travel was protective for their attacks and in seven it was a trigger. We interviewed several of the patients where car travel was a protector and all of these patients indicated that during car travel they were able to enjoy some solitude; in some cases the car was an opportunity to listen to their favorite music. Conversely, in people where car travel was a trigger, they seemed more aware of the traffic or the journey towards a stressful job. In other words, it didn’t seem to be the car, but the person’s state of mind in the car that was the determining factor.
Wine and Alcohol. Wine and alcohol was a less common trigger than expected and much more commonly found as a protector. In several interviews patients explained that when they drank alcohol it was usually a relaxing occasion: a glass of wine with their spouse, beer with friends. In a contrasting example, where sparkling wine was a trigger, the patient recognized that she drank sparkling wine at formal occasions such as weddings where the crowds of people became stressful. Similar to car travel, it was not the factor itself but the occasion associated with the factor that seemed critical.
Tyramine. Fully 18% of the people in the Curelator Headache NHF study had tyramine associated with their migraine attacks. More unexpected is the finding that in roughly half of these patients, tyramine turned up as a protector, not a trigger. Curiously, the appearance of tyramine as both trigger and protector in different individuals may indicate it has the potential to function in both capacities, depending on the person.
Stress. The population trigger map reveals that many patients show an association with stress and their attacks – in our study, 42%. What stands out, however, is that a small percentage of participants – only about 10% – show stress as a protector. How could stress lower the risk of a migraine attack?
We interviewed one of these patients and he also was puzzled that stress turned up as a protector on his map. The first question we asked him was, “What did you do when you experienced stress?” Well, it turned out that he had a series of stress management techniques that included deep breathing, meditation and sitting quietly until he calmed himself down. Did this routine reverse the risk of a migraine attack? It seems the answer is, “Yes, very effectively.”
Anger. Another of the participants had anger and anxiety as protectors. Upon reflection, he thought it was quite possible that he had developed a series of coping mechanisms that were so effective that they were associated with protecting him from attacks. Click “anger” on the Population Map and you will discover that four people have it as a protector while an additional 20 people have “anger” as a trigger. It is only through analysis of the individual patient that practical treatments such as these, which are discovered by the patients themselves, can be revealed.
Earlier we raised the question of whether it might be possible to transform a trigger into a protector and the profiles of more than a few of these interviewees suggest that they may have done exactly that. Dr. Paul R. Martin OAM, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Griffith and Monash University in Australia – a leading migraine researcher – shared the following observation with us:
“Note that at least with some triggers, deviations in either direction have been suggested to cause headaches – for example, headaches allegedly can be precipitated by too little sleep but also too much sleep, and by stress but also relaxation. Perhaps one of the reasons that eating foods has been controversial as a headache trigger is because it is complicated to pin down – whether it is a good or bad thing to eat certain foods depends on circumstances – eating a certain ‘dose’ of chocolate is beneficial when blood sugar levels are low, but not when they are high. Certainly as a clinician I go down this pathway.”
A different kind of diary approach for managing migraine headaches
There is universal consensus that using electronic diaries is the first step in understanding the episodic nature of migraine and how to improve it. However, simple automated diaries only accelerate a manual process. They are not able to dismiss suspected triggers that, in fact, are not associated with attacks. Additionally, the ability to identify protectors, factors that are associated with decreasing the risk of an attack, has not been within reach of conventional diaries.
The Curelator Headache NHF study shows a different kind of diary approach can enable a technology that identifies both triggers and protectors and also dismisses non-relevant factors. This approach, when applied on an individual basis, reveals an extraordinary difference between individuals, which can help us untangle the complex interaction between triggers and protectors that governs attacks.
Since some factors can be triggers in some and protectors in others, the NHF/Curelator Headache study shows the importance of daily tracking and measuring possible triggers, protectors, prescription therapies and even alternative therapies on an individual basis. The next phase of the NHF/Curelator Headache study will be to expand the study to a larger population in collaboration with migraine neurologists who will receive referral coupons that allow their patients to enter the study cost-free. Participants must obtain a referral coupon through their doctor and be willing to be interviewed about their experience after they receive their results.
In parallel, Curelator Headache and NHF are planning to initiate a similar study with a pediatric population. The pediatric study will focus on factors more relevant to children and youth.

The TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) exam is essential to anyone planning on applying to nursing school. The test is designed to assess prospective students’ academic abilities to see if they are qualified for a nursing program.
TEAS test dates can vary between several in-person and online options, so we broke down what you need to know about where, when, and how to take the TEAS exam.
Summary: Learn more about TEAS exam dates and where to take the TEAS test. If you want to start practicing, use our TEAS test prep to prepare.
TEAS Test Dates
When it comes to TEAS exam dates 2022, candidates are afforded a lot of flexibility as to when they can take the exam. When you register and pay for the TEAS, the dates available to you will depend on where you’re taking the exam (an institution, testing center, or online).
It’s important to note that your prospective institution may have requirements that will affect your TEAS exam dates. For example, if you’re starting a nursing program in the fall, your school may require you to take the exam the previous spring.
During each semester, there will be plenty of dates to choose from so that you can opt for a date and time that works best for your schedule. Check with your school to ensure your TEAS testing date qualifies you for their program.
The most important takeaway is that there are not nationally set TEAS test dates like with the SAT or ACT. Students are responsible for scheduling their own TEAS testing date.

When Should I Take the TEAS Test?
Many schools have set deadlines for the TEAS, so you must schedule your TEAS exam dates strategically so that you will be qualified for the program and still have plenty of time to study.
Generally, it’s recommended that students should take the TEAS at least a semester in advance of the start to your nursing program. Try to aim at registering for the TEAS at least two months before you plan to take the exam to ensure you won’t miss the registration deadline.
It’s recommended by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) that you should allocate at least six weeks to prepare for the exam, but it’s important to start preparing as early as possible – preferably several months. If you want to investigate prep options, use our best TEAS test prep courses article.
How Many Times Can You Take the TEAS Test?
TEAS re-take policies will vary by school, but according to ATI, most schools allow a maximum of three attempts at the exam. Even if you don’t submit your scores to your school, it is still reported as an attempt. There is also a 30-day wait period in between exams.
Ensure you are ready for the exam the first time around by using our TEAS practice tests to prepare.
Where Can I Take the TEAS Test?
There are four main options for TEAS test locations. Depending on your institution’s requirements and your TEAS test dates, you may take the exam
- In-Person (at an institution or national testing center)
- Online (at home)
If you’re taking the test online, it will either be proctored internally by the institution itself, or by ATI. Here’s a quick breakdown of TEAS test locations:
- In-Person (TEAS at Institution)
- You will arrive on test day at the location determined by your prospective school. If it’s a paper exam, you’ll need to bring two #2 pencils with you.
- In-Person (TEAS at PSI)
- You may also opt to take the exam at a national testing center close to you. You can search for PSI test centers based on your location and the month in which you plan to take the exam. Registration is done through ATI, so you will have a range of ATI TEAS test dates to choose from.
- Online (At Home) Proctored by Institution
- Taking the TEAS online is a convenient way to comfortably take the exam. Even though it’s virtual, it will still be proctored by someone from your school. You can take the exam from anywhere, as long as you meet the system requirements determined by your institution.
- Online (At Home) Proctored by ATI
- You can also take this exam from anywhere, but it is proctored by an outside company and may have different system requirements than an institution-proctored exam. However, ATI allows you to conduct a “dry run” of the exam, to ensure your computer meets all the necessary requirements.
Which online exam you take (institution or ATI proctored) will not have a great effect on your experience of the exam. It just depends on your school’s requirements and testing policies.

NIH study uses Botox to find new wrinkle in brain communication
Results support new view of molecules important for most nerve cell signaling.
National Institutes of Health researchers used the popular anti-wrinkle agent Botox to discover a new and important role for a group of molecules that nerve cells use to quickly send messages. This novel role for the molecules, called SNARES, may be a missing piece that scientists have been searching for to fully understand how brain cells communicate under normal and disease conditions.
"The results were very surprising,” said Ling-Gang Wu, Ph.D., a scientist at NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. “Like many scientists we thought SNAREs were only involved in fusion."
Every day almost 100 billion nerve cells throughout the body send thousands of messages through nearly 100 trillion communication points called synapses. Cell-to-cell communication at synapses controls thoughts, movements, and senses and could provide therapeutic targets for a number of neurological disorders, including epilepsy.
Nerve cells use chemicals, called neurotransmitters, to rapidly send messages at synapses. Like pellets inside shotgun shells, neurotransmitters are stored inside spherical membranes, called synaptic vesicles. Messages are sent when a carrier shell fuses with the nerve cell’s own shell, called the plasma membrane, and releases the neurotransmitter “pellets” into the synapse.
SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) are three proteins known to be critical for fusion between carrier shells and nerve cell membranes during neurotransmitter release.
"Without SNAREs there is no synaptic transmission," said Dr. Wu.
Botulinum toxin, or Botox, disrupts SNAREs. In a study published in Cell Reports, Dr. Wu and his colleagues describe how they used Botox and similar toxins as tools to show that SNAREs may also be involved in retrieving message carrier shells from nerve cell membranes immediately after release.
To study this, the researchers used advanced electrical recording techniques to directly monitor in real time carrier shells being fused with and retrieved from nerve cell membranes while the cells sent messages at synapses. The experiments were performed on a unique synapse involved with hearing called the calyx of Held. As expected, treating the synapses with toxins reduced fusion. However Dr. Wu and his colleagues also noticed that the toxins reduced retrieval.
For at least a decade scientists have known that carrier shells have to be retrieved before more messages can be sent. Retrieval occurs in two modes: fast and slow. A different group of molecules are known to control the slow mode.
"Until now most scientists thought fusion and retrieval were two separate processes controlled by different sets of molecules," said Dr. Wu.
Nevertheless several studies suggested that one of the SNARE molecules could be involved with both modes.
In this study, Dr. Wu and his colleagues systematically tested this idea to fully understand retrieval. The results showed that all three SNARE proteins may be involved in both fast and slow retrieval.
"Our results suggest that SNAREs link fusion and retrieval," said Dr. Wu.
The results may have broad implications. SNAREs are commonly used by other cells throughout the body to release chemicals. For example, SNAREs help control the release of insulin from pancreas cells, making them a potential target for diabetes treatments. Recent studies suggest that SNAREs may be involved in neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and spastic ataxia.
"We think SNARES work like this in most nerve cell synapses. This new role could change the way scientists think about how SNAREs are involved in neuronal communication and diseases," said Dr. Wu.

I came out as bisexual when I was in the sevnth grade. I was in a new school with new people. I was always alone. Kids would push me into lockers and threaten me and I was afraid all the time. I eventually was lucky enough to find a group of kids just like me. We're the kids that everyone labels 'loners' or 'freaks' and sometimes even 'worthless'. We seem to get bullied all the time or we're treated as if we don't exist, but we have each other. We all called out for help at some point but no one really listened. We just got lost in the crowd and became just some more kids who have gotten left behind because schools think bullying is just "kids being kids". My sister is a freshman in high school this year and is forced to do online schooling because she was bullied for being different. I'm now a junior in high school and I'm still occasionally bullied. So are most of my friends but We're stronger now and we're going to make a difference.

Ask Portland-based federal appellate judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain what he’s most proud of after nearly 30 years on the bench, and he’ll pull out a blue and red bar chart. The chart lists the names of the judges with whom he has served on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Blue bars show how often the US Supreme Court agreed with an opinion written by each judge; the red, how often the Supremes disagreed.
Out of 59 judges on the list, O’Scannlain’s blue line stands tallest of all. The rightward-tilted Supreme Court of recent times has been on his side, and vice versa.
The February death of Antonin Scalia threw the nation’s highest court into ideological limbo, with Republican leaders vowing to block Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nominee as of press time—or, for that matter, any other Obama nominee. The stakes are high: Scalia was the living symbol of a conservative movement that has remade the American judiciary. Though his name (it’s pronounced DEER-mid, by the way) is not nearly so well known, O’Scannlain has established a nationally significant stronghold of this movement in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse. From the land of legal cannabis and vegan strip clubs, the 79-year-old figures as a respected—and, naturally, controversial—voice of the judicial right.
Ironically, conservatives love to hate the Ninth Circuit, which sits one tier down the federal judicial hierachy from the Supreme Court. Long considered the most liberal of the regional circuit courts, the Ninth takes cases from nine western states and two territories. The Supreme Court often overrules its published opinions. (Hence, on O’Scannlain’s chart, big red bars for most of his colleagues, as opposed to his tower of blue.)
“I believe the role of the federal courts is to decide cases, not to engage in social policy,” the judge says. That’s roughly what Scalia believed, and a sentiment that surviving high-court conservatives, like Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, would likely endorse. O’Scannlain has influenced more than a generation of lawyers sympathetic to that philosophy, while developing a pipeline to the highest court in the land. Eighteen of his law clerks have gone on to clerk for Supreme Court justices—eight of them for Scalia—making him one of the nation’s top “feeder judges.” It’s a high honor to clerk for a Supreme Court justice, and for a judge to watch so many former protégés land a job that’s a training ground for the elite. (Three current US senators served as Supreme Court clerks, including presidential hopeful Ted Cruz.)
In part, O’Scannlain owes this influence to his role as a pugnacious minority voice within the liberal Ninth. For example, when his colleagues left intact a ruling overturning a gay marriage ban, O’Scannlain wrote a lengthy dissent. When the court ruled that a company involved in a lawsuit over an AIDS drug could not summarily reject a gay man from the jury, he did so again.
Written dissents don’t just express disagreement; they can also give useful signals to the Supreme Court. In 1996, for example, O’Scannlain dissented from his colleagues’ decision that a Washington state law banning physician-assisted suicide was unconstitutional. The nation’s highest court ultimately followed the reasoning in O’Scannlain’s dissent. That happened again in one particularly polarizing case, in which he wrote that Seattle Public Schools could not use a “racial tiebreaker” in assigning students to schools. (Seattle, along with scores of other districts around the country, relied on such policies to promote integration.) The full Ninth Circuit disagreed, but the Supreme Court hewed to O’Scannlain’s analysis. The New York Times called it “a sad day ... for the ideal of racial equality.” The ruling helped set parameters for school districts nationwide.
A sharp, friendly presence during a reporter’s visit to the courthouse, O’Scannlain figures he’s weighed more than 11,000 cases, about issues as fraught as gun rights, free speech, affirmative action, physician-assisted suicide, and cyber law.
“Our job is to protect the rights that are given us under the Constitution,” he says. “It’s following the text of the Constitution and the statutes, and resisting the temptation to read into language and thoughts that really aren’t there.”
O’Scannlain grew up in New York, the son of immigrants, speaking Irish. He graduated from St. John’s University and Harvard Law, and in the early ’60s was active in Young Americans for Freedom, an alliance of young conservatives and libertarians associated with William F. Buckley Jr. that’s often credited as a force behind the conservative remaking of American politics. Later that decade, he moved with his wife, Maura, to Portland. He quickly established roots here, working at several firms and also in government, as deputy attorney general and director of the Department of Environmental Quality. Active in Republican politics, he ran unsuccessfully for a US House seat in 1974. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan tapped him for the federal bench, a lifetime appointment.
In the course of this long career, O’Scannlain has garnered respect across ideological lines. Justice Anthony Kennedy—often the Supreme Court’s moderate swing vote—said just a few years ago that O’Scannlain’s opinions exhibit “a logic, a lucidity and a fairness ... that [demonstrate] the very best in our legal system.” His path also underscores why Scalia’s vacancy has ignited such partisan passion: federal judges stick around for a long time. Though he’s been eligible to retire for more than a decade, O’Scannlain says he’s not planning to quit anytime soon.
“I was issued a life sentence by President Ronald Reagan,” he says, “and I’m to do my best to serve out the term.” | <urn:uuid:0f43e8ad-7022-409f-ab14-7cdb9ac7524b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pdxmonthly.com/news-and-city-life/2016/04/you-ve-heard-of-scalia-but-who-s-o-scannlain | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958729 | 1,322 | 1.765625 | 2 |
The term “Headache” is something that everyone knows, wether it is from personal experience or someone you know. But not all headaches are the same. Part of working with a wide variety of patients and their needs is being familiar with the different types and what they mean for the person.
Some of the most common types of headaches include:
- Tension Headache
- Migraine Headache
- Sinus Headache
- Hypertensive Headache
- Cluster Headache
- Post Traumatic Headache
- Cervicogenic Headache
It is not always as simple as putting a label on the type of headache a person has. The symptoms tend to blend across types and the way they present, and quite often are as unique as the person who has them. This can make it difficult for a doctor to say for sure which type of headache you are experiencing, and which treatment is going to provide short term relief and a long term solution. Part of the equation is looking at the anatomy that is creating the pain signal.
One important thing to understand is that, although it can feel as though your the pain is coming from inside your head, there are actually no tissues in the brain (proper) that generate pain! In other words, it is a signal coming from outside the brain that is being transmitted to say something is not going the way it should.
Although there are other, more serious causes of headaches (Tumors, stroke, etc…), this is fairly rare and not the first place to start. We are going to delve into the causes of the more “typical” headaches people experience on a regular basis.
Anatomy of a Headache
1. The Arteries in the Brain -
A great amount of focus has been on studying the arteries of the brain, and understanding what their role is in headaches. It is still not completely understood the exact mechanisms that result in a migraine, but we do know that one piece of the puzzle is that when migraines do occur, there is swelling in the arteries of the brain and resulting inflammation of the nerves of the arteries. The transmission to the trigeminal ganglion from the nerve endings cause pain “piece” of a headache.
This is why a primary focus of many pharmaceutical drugs used (to treat the symptoms of migraines) are aimed at the reduction of this swelling of arteries.
2. The Nerve Roots: C1, C2, C3
Quite often people first begin to have headaches after a head and/or neck injury. Whiplash or concussion can result in the the uppermost nerves in the neck to become irritated. The resulting pain that is generated is often felt on the back and top of the head. When this injury to the upper cervical spine is left uncorrected, it can result in continual disturbance of these nerves… something known as occipital neuralgia.
3. The Role of the Meninges
It is likely that you recognize the term “Meningitis”. (This literally means “Inflammation of the Meninges”) A really bad headache can be a secondary condition (symptom) of meningitis… and the meninges can contribute to the pain of a headache even when there is no meningeal infection.
Various studies have shown the connection between the sub-occipital muscles connect into the meninges. That tension on this sheath around the CNS (Central Nervous System) may be contributing to certain headaches. (2) From the article: "...These mydural bridges have been associated with the etiology of cervicocephalic headaches, and cervicocephalic pain syndromes."
4. Head and Neck Muscles
There is a strong correlation between tension (type) headaches and the musculature of the neck and head. While the influence of these muscles in headache were exaggerated over the years, certain muscles do play a role in pain felt “in the head.” Pain that is referred into the head can originate from muscles like the splenius capitus.
Patients suffering from TMJ often have correlated headaches as well. The contraction of the muscles of the jaw (temporals, master, and pterygoids) can generate pain as well.
5. Dysfunction of the Joints of the Neck
The brain is continually receiving information from the joints of the neck and spine. This is an integral piece of posture and its connection to the neurological functions of the spinal cord. When these joints are shifted out of position for long periods of time (Chronic) it can result in irritation. “Cervicogenic” headaches are a result of this dysfunction of the neck joints. Although more difficult to classify, they are commonly seen in people who have had whiplash and/or head injuries (TBI and concussion).
What is the Connection?
Now for the interesting part! The commonality in what we have discussed is the neurology, and specifically the trigeminal complex.
Trigeminal Nerve Complex
Photograph: Science Photo Library
This specific bundle of nerves it is the main “clearinghouse” for most of the pain signals for the head and neck. All of the neural information from the first 3 spinal nerves (C1-C3), the jaw muscles, skin of the face and the meninges is transmitted through and processed by this Trigeminal Complex. Trigeminal Neuralgia is a severe form of a common problem.
What does this mean? If we can affect the function of the trigeminal complex, then we can (positively) affect a person’s headache disorder.
How Structural Correction of the ADC can help
Here at Precision Chiropractic, we focus on making specific, image guided correction of the top part of the neck. (Upper Cervical spine). Earlier we touched on how the first 3 spinal nerves are involved with the transmission of pain involved in a headache, but they are also involved in the information relay about posture and how you relate to the world around you.
Normally, with the head and neck in a normal relationship/position, data (information) is transmitted to the brain and everything functions optimally. When someone has a structural shift at the in the neck, such as an Atlas Displacement Complex, the information is jumbled and the signal into the brain results in “Pain” being the overriding message. This is why focusing on the nerves at the top of the neck is so vital… proper function can interrupt the process of a headache before it arrives full on!

One reason we are so successful in helping folks with headaches is because we are addressing a common physical component that is mostly overlooked. It is not that we are treating the different types of headaches differently; rather we are address the common factor, which is quite often the Atlas Displacement Complex through our unique approach with in chiropractic.

The MATLAB® environment for analysis provides the tools you need to acquire data and automate tasks. Within MATLAB and Simulink® you can control and acquire data from plug-in data acquisition boards, test instruments, Web cameras and frame grabbers, as well as send and receive messages over CAN buses.
Once you acquire data, you can interactively explore it and perform live visualization and data analysis. You can then build test systems, verify designs and concepts, and automate repetitive tasks. You can also deploy test applications built in MATLAB onto other computers.
“It used to take us weeks to identify the interference source. With MATLAB, we can now identify and resolve noise and interference problems in a matter of hours.”Dr. Gus Lott, YarCom Inc.
Communicating with Hardware and Instruments
Using MATLAB® or Simulink® and related products, you can control and acquire data from data acquisition hardware, imaging hardware, instruments, or CAN buses. You can also communicate with circuit boards and sensors using SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), Modbus, and Bluetooth serial protocols. Without leaving your workspace, you can then visualize and analyze the data.
Acquire and Send Data from Test and Measurement Equipment
In a single environment, you can build flexible test systems, automate testing routines, perform design verification, and analyze and visualize live data as you collect it.
When working with one or more standalone instruments such as oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, and signal analyzers, you use Instrument Control Toolbox™ to control the instruments and acquire data from them. You can quickly establish communication with instruments via industry-standard communications protocols such as GPIB, VISA (incuding USB), TCP/IP, and UDP and via industry-standard instrument drivers such as IVI and VXIplug&play. Multiple instrument manufacturers are supported including Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, and Tektronix. You can also build test systems based on LXI, PXI, and AXIe standards.
When working with plug-in data acquisition boards, you connect to supported boards from multiple vendors using Data Acquisition Toolbox™. Because many boards provide both analog and digital input and output capabilities, you can control motors and sensors as well as collect and analyze live data.
Acquire and Send Data Using I2C, SPI, Modbus, and Bluetooth Protocols
With Instrument Control Toolbox, you can connect MATLAB to devices that communicate over I2C, SPI, or Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile). You can send and receive messages using these protocols and you can build applications that interface to embedded sensors such as accelerometers, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and gyroscopes. You can also perform generic testing of embedded systems that communicate via SPI or I2C.
With Industrial Communication Toolbox, you can communicate with industrial equipment and sensors using protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and MQTT. You can also exchange data with Pi servers.
Acquire Images and Video from Cameras and Frame Grabbers
With Image Acquisition Toolbox™ you can acquire images and video directly into MATLAB and Simulink from PC-compatible imaging hardware. With support for multiple hardware vendors, you have the choice of a range of imaging devices from inexpensive Web cameras or industrial frame grabbers to high-end scientific cameras that meet low-light, high-speed, and other challenging requirements. Once you have acquired images, you can extract features and perform further analysis using MathWorks image and video processing products.
Communicate Directly with CAN Buses
With Vehicle Network Toolbox™ you can monitor and analyze Controller Area Network (CAN) bus traffic directly from your MATLAB or Simulink workspace with support for Vector, Kvaser, and NI-CAN, NI-XNET and PEAK- System interface hardware. You can communicate directly with in-vehicle networks using CAN protocol and XCP protocol from either MATLAB or Simulink. Within a single environment, you can:
- Send and receive messages over CAN and XCP protocols
- Monitor live CAN bus traffic using built-in tools
- Automatically filter CAN messages
- Use industry standard DBC and A2L files
Analyzing Your Test Data
Once you have acquired the data, you can use analysis and visualization tools in MATLAB and related data analysis products. Acquiring and analyzing the data in the same environment lets you quickly extract the information you need from your data. Using interactive tools and command-line functions, you can perform tasks such as signal and image processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, curve fitting, and nonlinear optimization. In addition, you can build graphical interfaces for data acquisition and live analysis of your test data.
When working with acquired data, you can use digital filtering routines to focus on the signal or feature of interest and easily view time-domain data in the frequency domain. When working with image data, you can restore noisy or degraded images and analyze shapes and textures. For projects that involve acquiring data repeatedly, you can investigate the statistics of a phenomenon over time.
Automating Tests and Building Test Applications
Using the capabilities of MATLAB, you can automate your test system to simplify your data collection and analysis. You can build test systems based on LXI, PXI, and AXIe standards. You can build applications with graphical interfaces, and share these applications with others using MATLAB. You can also use MathWorks desktop and Web deployment products to deploy test applications built in MATLAB onto other computers. | <urn:uuid:b46717d5-7dd3-4c4c-b972-27e154224de2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ww2.mathworks.cn/en/solutions/test-measurement.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.87627 | 1,156 | 2.3125 | 2 |

This miracle of bronze Buddha statues emitting light and moving their mouths and blinking their eyes were videoed at the Pu Xian Buddhist Mission in Malaysia in February 2011. People in the place saw with their own eyes before seeking permission to record it according to ‘kilchin77’ who uploaded the video. (Benjamin creme’s master confirms that this is a miracle manifested by Master Jesus.)
Thousands flocked to temples in Sri Lanka in early August 2006 after media reports that “miracle rays” could be seen emanating from statues of the Buddha. As news of the extraordinary phenomenon spread, traffic was held up throughout the capital city of Colombo and its suburbs as large numbers of people visited temples and roadside Buddha statues.
“Several of my colleagues and I saw the Buddha statue glow with light green rays,” reported one witness at the Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo. Statues at the Bellanwila Rajamaha Vihara temple located on the outskirts of Colombo, a statue near the Sambodhi orphanage in the city of Galle, a statute at a bus stand in Galle, and a Buddha statue at the entrance to a housing complex in the city of Battaramulla were among the many statues said to be emitting rays of light. “Thousands vouched for having seen rays emanating from the chest of the Buddha statues and considered it a miracle,” according to an article in a Sri Lankan newspaper.

A statue in Lhasa, Tibet, is crying small pearls, reports a German journalist. The statue is of Shakyamuni Buddha and is in the Jokhang Temple. The lama who related the story to the journalist reports that the statue cries frequently and the lamas are always very moved when it happens. The journalist brought five of the pearls to Munich where he plans to have one analysed by a chemist. Describing the pearls he said: "They are lovely and look like love-pearls."

On 4 July 1987, an image of the Bodhisattva, emanating rainbow-coloured light, was discovered on the bathroom window in the house of Mr and Mrs Yajima in Nagano City, Japan. Rainbow colours emanate from the head and body of the 48-cm-high figure on the glass. The image has a patterned, silver-coloured crown on its head. On its neck, there are two strings of prayer beads. The image is standing on a lotus, and is holding a small round-faced girl.
About the same time as the window image was discovered, an image appeared on the wall below the bathroom window. In the beginning, this image looked as if it were just a stain, but as time went by, it became clearer, and the outline darker. The image is appr. 40 cm high, and wears a pointed hat with a rounded middle. It holds a water pot in its hand, and sits on a lotus. The eyes are now clearly visible on the wall.
About a year after the image appeared on the bathroom window, the family demolished their bathroom. In its place, they built a small temple to enshrine the glass of the Bodhisattva. During the construction process, when workers were digging in the ground below where the image appeared, they discovered a ball about 35 cm in diameter. No one could figure out whether the ball was made of wood, stone or iron. The ball emanates a very strong energy. When people place their fingers close to the white walls of the shrine, a rainbow-coloured light appears between the wall and their fingers. This phenomenon can be seen only at the wall, and happens to everyone who tries it. The rainbow colour is most clearly seen when the wall is in the shade. | <urn:uuid:b48c1a82-54dd-4a6a-9341-f0f72e9cce1f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://einterface.net/gamini/buddhist.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958956 | 1,131 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Collection used as a traveling lecture series on the Waclaw Gazinski legacy
■ By Kyle Selby / Reporter
The legacy of Holocaust survivor turned artist, poet, composer, master carver and sculptor-extraordinaire, Waclaw (pronounced “vatslav”) “Vatz” Gazinski, lives on in the home of Hemet’s Krystyne Gray.
Gray, vice president of the Hemet-San Jacinto Interfaith Council, purchased Gazinski’s entire art collection of about 150 pieces from Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ in Hemet more than two years ago for $1,000.
Russell Jacobs, a deacon of Pilgrim Congregational, sold Gray the collection. Since then, the two have made it their personal mission to acquire as much information about Gazinski as they can.
According to Jacobs’ evidence-compiled documentation of Gazinski, a longtime friend and confidant of Gazinski – who wanted to remain anonymous – visited Rev. Megan Owens, pastor of Pilgrim Congregational, in 2014 to leave them with the Gazinski collection, which he had requested to be donated to the church.
Gazinski apparently took some classes at Pilgrim Congregational over a period of several years, which Gray thinks developed “a place in his heart for them.” Jacobs initially wanted to auction the Gazinski collection to help pay for rent. Only after speaking about it with Gray, did things take an unexpected turn.
“As soon as I looked at it, I thought ‘we cannot auction this off,’” explained Gray. “As I thought about it further, I realized you cannot piece this material out.” That’s when she decided to purchase the entire collection.
Gazinski was born in the city of Poznan, Poland, in September 1919 to a devout Catholic family. When Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany in 1939, he was arrested in early 1940 and was sent to Auschwitz prison camp. After six months, he was sent to another infamous Nazi camp in Dachau, Germany.
One of Gazinski’s books, “Five Years and One Day,” described stories of his time in Holocaust prison camps. However, much to Jacobs’ dismay, each of his two known books are written entirely in Polish, and can only be found in European libraries.
Jacobs also uncovered some evidence that suggested Gazinski learned German and English during his time in the camps, wrote for a newspaper, presented musical performances, and provided sketches and portraits of Nazi officers. According to Jacobs’ narrative, Gazinski also carved “an intricate and beautiful” wooden bowl for Heinrich Himmler, one of Hitler’s most notorious and cruel henchmen.
Gazinski comes to America in 1950
After his release, Gazinski eventually made the trek to America around 1950 – with whom, nobody is entirely certain. He spent time in the Carolinas area, where he worked as a church organist and commercial artist. From there, he made his way to Omaha, Nebraska, where he obtained his social security number and card in 1951.
While in America, he married his wife, Alina, and they had a son. In 1960, they moved to Los Angeles where Gazinski gained employment as a commercial artist. He was also credited as a founder of an organization for the promotion of Polish arts; he helped form the Szymanowski Society, named after world renowned composer Karol Szymanowski, of which he was also music director.
For the next couple of decades, Gazinski and his family moved to various locations throughout Southern California, including Hawthorne and Lancaster. His wife passed away in Los Angeles in 1978. By this time, an estrangement developed between Gazinski and his son, who now refuses to talk to Jacobs about his father, according to Gray. The rift is a shame, because, according to Gray, his son “would be a host of information.”
Gazinski retired to Hemet in 1990, where he became involved with a local writers group; he was also heavily invested in the Ramona Woodcarvers. Gazinski passed away in Hemet in December 2013 at the age of 94.
The Gazinski collection, as it stands today, consists of varied multifaceted art mediums. Many pieces within the Gazinski collection reflect his skilled hand at woodwork, including sculptures made entirely out of hundreds of tiny inlaid twigs and sticks.
“These twigs that he uses, aren’t just from here,” said Gray. “They’re from all different parts [of the world]. He’s collected them.”
While Gray has a degree in sociology, she admits that her passion lies with the arts. She has been the art director for several newspapers and publications in Orange County, and taught private art lessons for nearly nine years.
Art collection used as a traveling exhibit
Gray uses the collection as a lecture series, joined by Jacobs who is more than happy to retell the Gazinski legacy.
“I decided to keep it, and use it as a traveling show exhibit,” said Gray.
Gray and Jacobs have already brought the exhibit to a couple of local churches through their connections with Interfaith Council, and even presented it to The Village Retirement Center (where Jacobs lives), and hopes to bring it to the Mt. San Jacinto College Menifee campus soon.
When Gray is finished showing the Gazinski collection, she wants its final resting place to be at the Palm Springs Holocaust Museum of Tolerance.
“I would like to see if they would want to have it or display it,” she explained. “I would donate it – I would never sell anything of his.”
Gray still hopes to learn more about Gazinski, as there is still so much of his life shrouded in mystery. But for now, she can admire and share his artwork with others.
“It’s modern, but not,” Gray said admirably about the Gazinski artwork, which she categorizes as dimensional. “To me, it just sends me a message that I had to keep it alive.” | <urn:uuid:a0f33784-0b86-416e-bed2-e7bd84ff7dc0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thevalleychronicle.com/blog/2017/08/05/holocaust-survivors-art-collection-finds-a-home-in-hemet/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.981653 | 1,307 | 2.21875 | 2 |
The Pentagon’s Battle Force Plan 2045 calls for a massive expansion in size and scope for the U.S. Navy and the weapons systems and drone platforms it will operate, in large measure due to a single overwhelming threat factor: China.
Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, when explaining the extensive assessments, research and studies which went into developing the plan, specifically indicated that some of the Pentagon’s findings were based on war gaming against the Chinese Navy.
“First, the team examined our current naval forces. Second, they assessed China’s future naval construct. Next, they explored three force options in order to evaluate a variety of platforms for the future flight - fight. They modeled and war gamed these options, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each combination of ships against different future mission sets,” Esper said to reporters, according to a Pentagon transcript.
Having already grown to more than 350 ships, the Chinese Navy is the largest in the world and expanding at a staggering speed with the regular addition of new amphibs, destroyers and carriers.
By the end of this decade, China is expected to operate as many as 360 to 400 ships, according to the Pentagon’s annual China report which, among other things, catalogues the pace and extent of China’s ambitious military modernization.
Multiple Pentagon reports, including the Pentagon’s annual China report, explained that China is the largest ship-producing nation in the world by tonnage.
China plans to add as many as forty new destroyers in coming years, build a fleet of up to four or five aircraft carriers and exponentially increase its submarine attack potential. A May 2020 Congressional Research Service Report called “China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities,” says the PLA Navy may have as many as 400 ships and four aircraft carriers by 2025. The Chinese are already building a third aircraft carrier which appears to be modeled after the U.S. Ford class without a “ski-jump” type of runway.
China’s emerging Type 055 destroyer is also attracting attention from U.S. planners. Interestingly, the ship represents an apparent Chinese effort to build a stealthy destroyer.
The ship does not have large protruding deck masts or many external deck-mounted weapons and appears to have a blended body-bow with a smooth exterior. In some respects, the ship does appear to resemble some elements of the U.S. Navy’s stealthy USS Zumwalt destroyer.
China’s internal ship building apparatus is, according to the Pentagon report, concerning. The text of the document cites the merging of China’s State Shipbuilding Corporation and the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, creating the world’s largest shipbuilder.
“China domestically produces its naval gas turbine and diesel engines, as well as almost all shipboard weapons and electronic systems, making it nearly self-sufficient for all shipbuilding needs,” the Pentagon China report states.
All of these realities, which informed the extensive U.S.-China wargaming initiative, contributed to the Pentagon’s wish to build a 500 ship Navy.
However, the Chinese do not in any way appear to be slowing down any time soon, meaning it may not be possible for the U.S. to catch the Chinese in terms of sheer Naval size. When it comes to power projection, sensor platforms and weapons, nonetheless, the U.S. expects or at least hopes to retain a measure of decisive superiority. Not only will the United States operate eleven or twelve aircraft carriers, but its newer SPY-6 highly sensitive long range radar systems, upgraded Flight III DDG 51 Destroyers and arriving fifth-generation naval aircraft, are expected to help America sustain a maritime edge.

My mom introduced me to Star Trek when I was a kid, in the pre-TNG era. At the time, one of my favorite episodes was “Who Mourns For Adonais?”, a vision of what happened to the Greek gods by the 23rd century. I loved Greek mythology (and still do), so I was thrilled to see the Enterprise meet Apollo.
As of last week, there’s another vision of what happened to the Greek gods since their heyday. My newly-released comedic fantasy, Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, tosses the pantheon back into our world following Zeus’s 2009 assassination. For my guest post here on Life, the Universe, and Everything In Between (and hi, it’s great to be here!), I thought I’d compare Star Trek’s Apollo with my own Apollo, who happens to be one of the novel’s main characters.
But first, a quick refresher on the episode: The Enterprise crew find themselves captive guests on a planet by Apollo, the last of the Greek gods after the others “returned to the cosmos” without the worship they need to survive. Apollo, referring to them as his “children,” demands the crew stay, forever, and worship him. Also there may be some light goat-herding.
Let’s be honest: Trek’s Apollo is something of a pompous jerk-nozzle. But perhaps he’s got a right to be bitter? After all, he’s the last of the gods, no one worships him anymore, and he has to sit around all day in that ridiculous outfit. This Apollo hasn’t modernized. In Zeus Is Dead, the gods use cell phones, dress in modern clothing, and use Hephaestus’s special plasma-screen TVs for their mortal-watching. Heck, Dionysus hangs around in a casino all day playing video games. Trek-Apollo, while further in the future, is also stuck in the past, and perhaps a little bitter about it. Still, that doesn’t really excuse the sexist cracks (“You seem wise, for a woman.”) and general abusive boyfriend shtick he gives Lt. Palamas. And then there’s that whole forcing the Enterprise crew to stay, herd goats, and worship him all day…
I’ve always considered Apollo to be one of the more benevolent of the pantheon. Yes, he has his jerk moments in the myths, but on the whole, he strikes me as comparatively noble. Sure, my Apollo likes being worshipped, too, but he also feels he needs to hold up his end of the bargain. That’s part of why he’s so stressed out in Zeus Is Dead: there are so many billions of mortals in the modern world, all counting on him to handle his divine duties in a responsible manner.
Trek’s Apollo also goes to using physical threats quicker than mine. He’s in an adversarial position in the episode, so it makes sense for him to be more aggressive in order to put the crew in jeopardy. Trek-Apollo throws thunder and lightning around a lot, too, but that’s Zeus’s thing—or at least it used to be. Presumably this Apollo picked it up after Zeus left. Zeus is gone in Zeus Is Dead, too (it says so right there in the title, after all) but my Apollo still prefers a bow, the occasional sword, or simply his wits. In my world, Athena’s got the lightning tucked away for safe-keeping.
Despite having picked up Zeus’s lightning, Trek’s Apollo seems to have a smaller divine portfolio: “God of light and purity. Skilled in bow and the lyre.” But I’ve always seen Apollo as the over-achiever of the pantheon. Look him up. He’s god of the sun, light, prophecy, literature, music, archery, medicine, gelatin desserts, and the list goes on. Let’s face it, the guy can’t delegate. And here, perhaps, is the largest difference: my Apollo wants LESS attention. He wants to be able to go target-shooting with Artemis now and then without getting interrupted by texts from rapacious mortals every other moment. It’s what leads him to try to—well, I won’t go into the book’s details too much here, but it suffices to say it gets him into an epic amount of trouble.
There are a few. Both can get tired out. It’s a major plot point in both the episode and in Zeus Is Dead. Not only is that from the original myths, but it’s very difficult to use gods as main characters and not give them some weaknesses. (Fortunately, the Greek pantheon has never been considered infallible.)
Both are skilled at prophecy. Trek-Apollo knew humanity would come to the stars one day. “Of all the gods, I knew and I waited.” Though his prophecy is imperfect, too, since he didn’t foresee what happens…much like my Apollo’s visions of Zeus’s return.
Both have their pride – though Trek-Apollo’s is more easily tweaked, at least at first. In Zeus Is Dead, Apollo suffers enough setbacks that he starts getting a bit snippy about things too, and in those moments both Apollos seem to share a need to demonstrate power to comfort their egos.
And, finally, both Apollos crave a break from their current circumstances, but whereas the gods in Star Trek faded away into melancholy non-existence, the gods in Zeus Is Dead have done the exact opposite: Freed from Zeus’s edict of non-interaction, they’ve come back to the world like kids on Christmas morning to dive into the bounty of worldwide celebrity status. They revel in their new temples, casinos, and media empires, their long-starved, superhuman egos now gorging themselves on as much attention as they can get…
…What could possibly go wrong?
A MONSTROUSLY INCONVENIENT
“A hilarious mythological tale of god-like proportions. Munz has crafted a tale of bizarro comic fantasy that sits comfortably among the ilk of Gaiman and Pratchett.”
—Andrew Buckley, author of Death, the Devil, and the Goldfish

Genre: Contemporary Mythological Fantasy
Release date: July 21st, 2014

Length: 446 pages (paperback)
The gods are back. Did you myth them?
You probably saw the press conference. Nine months ago, Zeus’s murder catapulted the Greek gods back into our world. Now they revel in their new temples, casinos, and media empires—well, all except Apollo. A compulsive overachiever with a bursting portfolio of godly duties, the amount of email alone that he receives from rapacious mortals turns each of his days into a living hell.
Yet there may be hope, if only he can return Zeus to life! With the aid of Thalia, the muse of comedy and science fiction, Apollo will risk his very godhood to help sarcastic TV producer Tracy Wallace and a gamer-geek named Leif—two mortals who hold the key to Zeus’s resurrection. (Well, probably. Prophecies are tricky buggers.)
Soon an overflowing inbox will be the least of Apollo’s troubles. Whoever murdered Zeus will certainly kill again to prevent his return, and avoiding them would be far easier if Apollo could possibly figure out who they are.
Even worse, the muse is starting to get cranky.

Driving this goal is the desire to tell entertaining stories that give to others the same pleasure as other writers have given to him. He enjoys writing tales that combine the modern world with the futuristic or fantastic.
Michael has traveled to three continents and has an interest in Celtic and Classical mythology. He also possesses what most “normal” people would likely deem far too much familiarity with a wide range of geek culture, though Michael prefers the term geek-bard: a jack of all geek-trades, but master of none—except possibly Farscape and Twin Peaks.
Michael dwells in Seattle where he continues his quest to write the most entertaining novel known to humankind and find a really fantastic clam linguine.

Finally, if you still want to try this crazy idea and write something in assembly (if you've reached this section -- you're real assembly fan), here's what you need to start.
As you've read before, you can write for Linux in different ways; I'll show how to use direct kernel calls, since this is the fastest way to call kernel service; our code is not linked to any library, does not use ELF interpreter, it communicates with kernel directly.
I will show the same sample program in two assemblers, nasm and gas, thus showing Intel and AT&T syntax.
You may also want to read Introduction to UNIX assembly programming tutorial, it contains sample code for other UNIX-like OSes.
First of all you need assembler (compiler) -- nasm or gas.
Second, you need a linker -- ld, since assembler produces only object code. Almost all distributions have gas and ld, in the binutils package.
As for nasm, you may have to download and install binary packages for Linux and docs from the nasm site; note that several distributions (Stampede, Debian, SuSe, Mandrake) already have nasm, check first.
If you're going to dig in, you should also install include files for your OS, and if possible, kernel source. | <urn:uuid:f36d61a8-55e3-44c4-9e0f-60824276902d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Assembly-HOWTO/x810.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.911082 | 281 | 2.4375 | 2 |

Different individuals, cultures and societies are not a threat but a wealth to humankind. This has motivated us to change our perceptions and explore each other much more closely. "Dance Across Musical Bridges"(DMB) focuses on local dances and music of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Latvia and Turkey. The idea that those who sing songs are good people comes from the Turkish bard Neşet Ertaş. Dance and music have the best of what is local and combine local elements with universal ones, making people feel a sense of inclusion and that we are all part of the same Universe. | <urn:uuid:5eb3c371-bfd4-4bfe-ab5e-9f240f7d573c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://twinspace.etwinning.net/86431/home | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573118.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817213446-20220818003446-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.950901 | 118 | 2.078125 | 2 |

In post 32, I said that I would cover Heraclitus in two posts, but I could not do it. In fact, I don’t think three posts are enough, but we will see. Truth be told, I could probably write at least a dozen more posts on Heraclitus. If any of you feel that I have left out something important or have a question on what I’ve discussed so far, leave it in the comment section below. Please read post 32 and post 33 as background to this post if you haven’t already.
The Meaning of Logos
Heraclitus took a common word, logos, which originally meant “word” or “speech,” and revolutionized the philosophical world.1 In fact, after Heraclitus, ancient philosophers (and more recent ones, too) would fill pages and pages with discussion on the meaning of logos.
From its original meaning, it evolved into what speech represented – rationality or reason. And from there, it blossomed like a tree to take on a whole host of meanings. It is where we get the suffix -logy where we get words like biology, anthropology, and zoology. From logos we also get words like logical, logistics, eulogy, prologue, and catalog.
The meaning of logos could be described in many ways, including the order of the cosmos, as wisdom or universal consciousness, a logos of nature, and something boundless within the soul to be found by oneself.
Logos as Order
Eventually, for the Greeks, the meaning of logos came to be “the order of the cosmos.”2 Cosmos was the Greek word for “universe.” The logos was that which ordered and gathered everything into one. In fact, the Greek verb form of logos comes from a root word that means “to gather or collect.” It can also mean “to call or to name.”3
It made one out of many and not just one, but a one that was organized, ordered, and made sense. The logos holds everything together. When we look at the world around us, the logos is what gives us that comfortable feeling that things make sense. Without this order, everything would just be non-sense, as if we were taking an adventure like Alice in Wonderland.
Heraclitus Expands the Idea of Logos
Heraclitus is like the George Washington Carver of vocabulary. George Washington Carver took a simple item – the peanut – and found 300 uses for it.4 So too, Heraclitus took a simple word like logos and greatly expanded its use.
In her book, The Logos of Heraclitus, Eva Brann gives an excellent definition of Heraclitus’ logos that is difficult to improve upon:
“This great Logos has a wisdom, or rather it is the Wise Thing, and this Wise Thing has a maxim, or rather it is the practical principle which guides everything through everything, relates all things to all things, which says One:Everything.”5
If you look at the image at the beginning of this post as well as those in post 32 and post 33, you will notice progression. We start first with the man Heraclitus alone with his thoughts. Then we see Heraclitus in relation to the cosmos. Finally, we see the order of the cosmos above. Heraclitus started with himself and like concentric circles, moved out from there.
People Choose to Remain Ignorant
The following fragment of Heraclitus illustrates that his journey began, like Socrates’ journey, not with a declaration of truth, but a declaration of ignorance:
“Who can know and does know What?6
Notice that this fragment is in a chiasmus, a favorite literary device of Heraclitus:
Who : know :: know : What
Why do you think that Heraclitus chose to use the chiasmus to get his point across?
Heraclitus, too came to grips with his ignorance. Like Socrates, he started from the point of realizing that he didn’t know. From there, he began to ask questions, the gist of which went like this example: “Is wisdom available to a select few elite philosophers or is it privy to everyone?”
As usual, Heraclitus must use a paradox in his answers. Heraclitus tells us that the logos, the embodiment of wisdom, is not far from any individual and is ready to instruct, but most are not willing to listen. Most desire to remain in ignorance, thinking that they already know. Heraclitus said:
“Unapprehending even when they’ve heard, similar to the deaf. The proverb is witness to their being “absent though present.”
Therefore he concluded:
“Therefore one must follow what is common. But although the Logos is common, many live as though they had a private mind, in the sense of mindful insight.”
Heraclitus juxtaposes the common wisdom of logos, which is accessible to all, with those whose refuse to be a part of that and instead live “as though they had a private mind.”7
We have to be careful that we don’t interpret this out of historical context. To our modern ears, it sounds like he is making a distinction between relative and absolute truth. This view erroneously places Heraclitus with the post-Enlightenment thinkers. Rather, he seems to be making a distinction between objective (common) and subjective (private) truth.
Logos as the Universal Consciousness
He is saying that the logos, the “Wise Thing,” is the common mind of the universe. It alone is the intelligence of the universe. Therefore, if one wants to truly be wise, then one must think the thoughts of the logos or else be left to his own devices in the ignorance of his private mind. For Heraclitus, the private mind is a pseudo-intellect, a non-entity as far as thinking goes. For him, there is only the logos. Those not connected with logos remain in the deepest darkness.
The idea here is more of a universal consciousness. If one is not tapped into the universal consciousness of the logos, then one is not engaged in meaningful thought whatsoever. We saw above that he used the analogy of deafness. Language makes meaningful noise to the ears of all except the deaf. For Heraclitus, if one does not have the faculties to hear the language of the logos, then one is deaf to wisdom.
A private mind for Heraclitus is really no mind at all. The Greek word for private is idios – from which we get the word “idiot.”8 For the Greeks, an idiot was someone who separated themselves out from the common community.
This idea of a single universal intelligence was mostly a result of Persian influence.9 When Cyrus the Persian invaded Ionia, there was a cross- pollination between East and West. The Persians brought their religion of Zoroastrianism, thus introducing monism to the Greeks. We can see this influence in the writings of Heraclitus as well as other Presocratic philosophers like Parmenides, whom we will discuss soon. These ideas will go on to have a very long shelf life in the West in both Christian and non-Christian philosophy.
Other philosophers after the Presocratics picked up on this theme of a universal consciousness. The medieval Islamic philosophers Avicenna and Averroes developed the idea of a universal intellect, based on Aristotle’s writings, to explain how common knowledge was possible in the universe.10 Avicenna called this universal intellect the “Agent Intellect” and afterward, from these ideas, Averroes developed his “Unity of Intellect” theory.
Finding the Logos in Nature
In some ways, Heraclitus was more evangelist than philosopher, preaching the good news about the universal knowledge of the logos. But from his perspective, the prospects were dim. For even though the logos was available to everyone, in reality, few responded. The path to ignorance is wide and many travel upon it, but the road to enlightenment is narrow and only few find it.
How does one find the logos?
In the previous post, I discussed the idea of the logos being both transcendent and immanent. The logos expresses itself not only in the order of nature but also in the language of nature, which involves things like mathematics. The logos is both nature and its language.
The first way of discovering the logos is by grasping the harmony of nature through our senses. We become empiricists. The problem with this method is that nature is a tough sell. It doesn’t give up its secrets easily. According to Heraclitus:
“Nature loves to hide.”11
Like a prospector digging for gold, one must be relentless at pursuing the truth locked up in the secrets of nature. We can encounter logos there, but it is much more difficult. Francis Bacon, a 17th century empiricist, developed this idea further when he said:
“The nature of things betrays itself more readily under the vexations of art [torture] than in its natural freedom.”12
According to Bacon, nature must be tortured or it will not readily yield its secrets. The kind of torture he had in mind was scientific experimentation. Thus he laid the ground work for the development of the scientific method that Heraclitus pointed the way to.
Finding the Logos in the Soul
For those finding the way of nature too strenuous, according to Heraclitus, there is another way.
“It belongs to all men to know themselves and to be of sound mind.”
“I have searched myself.”
There’s that phrase again, “know thyself.” This phrase was eventually inscribed in the temple of Delphi and made famous by Socrates when he uttered it at his trial. But it originated with Heraclitus when describing the meaning of logos.13
According to Heraclitus:
“Setting out for the bounds of the soul, you would not find them out, though you passed along every way, so deep a logos does it have.”14
The logos of the soul, like the logos of nature, is boundless. We can plummet to the depths of our souls and never touch bottom. Why is this? It is because the logos of the human soul is a reflection of the soul of the cosmos. The logos within us gives boundlessness to our finiteness.
We gather insight from nature through our senses, albeit with difficulty. As we meditate on that order of nature, we also see an order of logos within our own souls. If we are attentive, we can hear the logos speak. We can understand the world better only by filtering out its distractions.
We hear the language of nature for it is the same logos, the same order. One is expressed through nature and the other through words. Our meditations become the touchpoint where word and nature meet. The logos is found within because we are made in the image of the logos. It is also where the one and the many meet. For with our senses, we see a multiplicity, but through our meditation, we encounter a single logos which gives order and sameness – as well as saneness – to a seemingly disparate and chaotic universe. Through the logos, everything melds into one, yet remains distinct. It was in such meditations that Heraclitus heard the logos speak: “It belongs to all men to know themselves and be of sound mind.”
The following quote is from Heraclitus:
“For those who are awake, there is a single and common cosmos; each of those who are asleep turns himself away to the private one.”
St. Augustine said:
“Lord, grant that I may know myself, that I may know Thee.”
Now consider the following question:
Heraclitus had a dim view of humanity, stating that most people choose to remain ignorant. Do you agree? Please leave your comment below and don’t forget to subscribe. Thank You.
From Amazon reviewer Dr. B. E. Kelly: “Although written over 60 years ago, Copleston’s masterly study remains perennially helpful, although it must be said it presupposes linguistic abilities or competencies in ancient languages that would be far less common today (a lot of untranslated Greek and Hebrew). There are no doubt simpler accounts around, but this repays careful reading and will take many students far beyond an elementary introduction. So far I’ve only covered the material on the pre-Socratics, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, but these really are the foundational thinkers for western philosophy. Copleston’s own Thomist sympathies are clear but are not thrust upon the reader. Having these three volumes in one makes for a bulky book but the serious student of the history of this discipline will readily see the advantages of tracing through the fundamental ideas of classical Greek philosophy in late antiquity and the Middle Ages (including the impact on Islamic thought).”

On June 15, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and Department of Justice issued Final Procedures Related to the Receipt of Cyber Threat Indicators and Defensive Measures by the Federal Government (“Final Procedures”) that provide information on how DHS will implement the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (“CISA”). The Final Procedures were accompanied by Guidance to Assist Non-Federal Entities to Share Cyber Threat Indicators and Defensive Measures with Federal Entities Under the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (“Guidance”). These documents represent finalized versions of interim guidance and procedures which, as we have previously reported, were issued in February.
Overview of CISA
CISA, which Congress passed in December 2015, creates a voluntary cyberthreat information-sharing regime designed to improve cybersecurity in America. As outlined in Congress’ Joint Explanatory Statement to Accompany the Cybersecurity Act Of 2015, the goal of CISA is to “encourage public and private sector entities to share cyber threat information.” Although the sharing of cybersecurity information can conflict with corporate goals to protect intellectual property, CISA attempts to remove these barriers in order to foster greater cooperation and collaboration in the face of growing cybersecurity threats to national and economic security.
CISA creates a voluntary system of information sharing in which companies are authorized to share cyber threat indicators (“CTIs”) and defensive measures (“DMs”) with federal and state governments, as well as with other companies and private entities. To encourage cybersecurity information sharing, CISA provides a variety of legal protections to encourage sharing (e.g., an exemption from federal antitrust laws and federal and state freedom of information and similar laws, and a non-waiver of any applicable privilege).
However, in order to receive full immunity from government and private lawsuits and other claims that may arise out of CISA-compliant monitoring, the information-sharing must be done in a manner consistent with the means specified by DHS in its Guidance. For additional background on CISA, please see our prior coverage.
To date, however, companies have been reticent to participate in the voluntary information-sharing outlined in the CISA. Commentators have identified various reasons for this, including concerns about potential regulatory consequences, general distrust of the government, and complexity and confusion surrounding the interplay among CISA and federal regulations, to name a few. Additionally, the CISA protections apply only in the U.S., so companies that have global operations fear that cyber information shared under CISA could be acquired by individuals outside the US and might inform legal actions in other jurisdictions.
Final Guidance and Procedures
In the Guidance and Final Procedures, DHS provides detailed information about the process undertaken by DHS when it receives information, including both automated and manual review procedures. For example, the Final Guidance outlines specific procedures relating to the receipt, processing, and dissemination of CTIs submitted through both automated and non-automated means, as well as some of the logistical details and operational procedures for DHS’ processes.
On the same day that the updated Guidance and Final Procedures were released, members of the House Homeland Security Committee’s cybersecurity, infrastructure protection and security technologies subcommittee reportedly met with industry representatives to examine industry perspectives on the implementation of CISA. The consensus among industry representatives was that the clarity provided by the DHS Guidance and Final Procedures may generate additional interest regarding, and use of, the information-sharing contemplated by CISA. Industry representatives have suggested that the increased transparency in DHS’ process, coupled with its continued development of and investment in the information-sharing process, could potentially ease some of the industry concerns by giving organizations a better understanding of what is being asked of them and DHS’s process of handling this information. While this represents progress, additional participation from private-sector companies will likely be driven by evidence of benefits being conferred on companies that are participating.
The decision for a company to participate in cybersecurity information sharing under CISA is complex and involves various factual and legal considerations.
Particularly, in these early stages of CISA’s implementation, Companies must thoroughly evaluate the benefits and risks associated with participating in the information sharing process. For a number of companies, particularly those that consider their cyber security systems a competitive advantage, this analysis may largely depend on the particular circumstances of the threat or incident. Further, companies should consult with legal counsel regarding the litigation risks posed by both sharing and receiving threat information. In either case, a company should be prepared to either mitigate the incident that it has reported, or assess and respond to the threat information it receives. Failure to do so exposes the company to later claims by plaintiffs that the company failed to adequately address known risks.
A company that decides to share information under CISA should make certain that it has procedures and systems in place to collect, screen, and report the information it plans to share—particularly because CISA’s protections apply only when sharing is conducted in accordance with the law’s specific requirements, including those that restrict the type of information shared, the manner in which information is shared, and the removal of personal information. Additional considerations exist for public companies, as information sharing under CISA may implicate securities laws insofar as sharing cyber information could be considered material information requiring disclosure in a public filing.
Effective information sharing is likely to require coordination among a company’s legal, IT, and compliance functions to ensure that the company complies with CISA and DHS guidance in order to receive maximum protection under the law.

To all leaders, it is time for us to uplift the voices of women everywhere — those who hesitate to speak up about bias in the workplace and outside of it, and those who are actively advocating against it.
Regardless of gender, International Women's Day (IWD) 2022 on 8 March is a beautiful moment for all of us to reflect on and celebrate the strides made in women empowerment globally. Together, we can take it further and make more progress in support of women's rights socially, economically, culturally, and politically.
In support of this year's theme, the team at Human Resources Online explores what it means to #BreakTheBias.
While it may not be noticeable to many of us, gender biases and stereotypes have been deeply ingrained into our working norms, influencing the way we work - from our hiring processes to our daily environment/workplace/interactions. Over the coming weeks, HRO has prepared a line-up of stories and interviews, sharing how leaders are breaking the bias for a more inclusive and fair workplace as well as society, going beyond commemorating just IWD once a year.
We hope these stories inspire you to join us in challenging the bias, and spark change everywhere.
Happy International Women's Day!

Dairy products form a large part of our diet. Milk especially plays a major role on our breakfast table, and also throughout our day. Whether it’s a big coffee mug for your partner, a hot cup of tea for yourself, or a warm glass by itself for the kids, you cannot deny that this delicious and nutritious treat is a favourite for most families.
Research has proved that after breast milk, the next best option for humans is cow milk. And among the many kinds of cow milk, almost nothing can beat the goodness of Jersey cow milk, which is much more nutritious than a typical cow’s milk.
While Jersey milk has traditionally been perceived as a luxury across Great Britain and other neighbouring countries, Greenfields has made Jersey Milk accessible for everyone who appreciates the nutritional value of its richer nutrition, with the launch of its Fresh Jersey Milk product.
THE MORE NUTRITIOUS CHOICE, WITH RICHER AND CREAMIER TASTE.
Greenfields Fresh Jersey milk originates from one of the most recognisable breeds of cow in the world-Jersey cows, a brown breed of dairy livestock that are highly productive in generating quality milk. These hail from the island of Jersey in the British Channel Islands, near the border of England and France. Dairy farming experts have long identified Jersey cow’s milk as being better than that from many other breeds of cows in terms of nutrition and taste.
Jersey milk has been exported to many countries of the world, including here in Southeast Asia. However, Greenfields has now become one of the first to begin producing Fresh Jersey milk locally right here in the region, ensuring you can get the freshest Jersey milk without having to import it from far away.
To date, Greenfields is home to more than 3600 Jersey cows!
Jersey milk is not only more nutritious, it also tastes richer and creamier, with a fuller mouthfeel that’s an absolute delight to savour. It is indisputably an ideal choice to make milk confections and beverages like smoothies, milkshakes and also a good match with coffee or tea, especially since it does not leave a strong after-taste despite its thicker texture.
What makes Greenfields Jersey Milk so creamy? It’s simply fundamentally different from other milks in terms of fat content. Jersey Milk contains more milk fat (29%) than other milks . Fat in milk acts as a tenderiser and moisturiser, so using fat-rich Jersey Milk in cakes and muffins will make them moister, with a finer crumb that’s even more delightful to eat.
Of course, they’ll make an even creamier complement to any cup of coffee or tea than regular milk, too!
Any cow’s milk is about the source of calcium there is, and contains many essential vitamins and minerals, like Vitamin A, D, B1, B12, magnesium, zinc and potassium. But milk from Jersey cows is even better. It has an even higher protein content and is naturally higher in nutrients and vitamins compared with fresh milk¹.
The importance of protein to us cannot be overstated. As one of the three great macronutrients (the other two being carbohydrates and fats), proteins are literally the building blocks of our body, providing the raw materials needed to create and maintain our physical and mental functions through processes like cell repair and immunity boosting.
As a major source of protein for children, a 250ml glass of milk usually already contains approximately 8-10 grams of protein. Greenfields Fresh Jersey Milk contains 10% more protein than regular fresh milk², offering richer nutrition and stronger bodies with every sip.
With more calcium content, Jersey milk helps keep your bones and teeth healthy even more than regular milk. The quantity of Vitamin D found in Jersey milk helps in better calcium absorption.
It also has nutrients like Vitamin B-12, which is necessary for bone growth, while also helping in improving your immunity naturally.
Jersey milk gives children in their formative years the energy that their active bodies crave as they grow and play. Jersey milk has 11% more non-fat milk solids e.g. phosphorus, potassium and riboflavin, which is essential for metabolic energy production.
Greenfields is the first Jersey milk producer in Indonesia, and one of the first few in Southeast Asia. Our Fresh Jersey Milk is derived from 100% natural and fresh milk from the Jersey cows on our very own Greenfields farms, produced in line with our Greenfields Farming Philosophy which drives for excellence in quality above all else.
Our farms, and our Jersey cows, are maintained by a team of professionals and experts who are equipped with over 20 years of accumulated experience. Our cows are milked with a cutting-edge automated milking system that keeps the milk clean, in line with our “no-human-touch” policy to prevent germ contamination. Both our cows and their milk are free of any added hormones or antibiotics. Our ISO-certified integrated process of production and pasteurization ensures maximum freshness from farm to fridge.
Greenfields cares for the health of your family as much as you. The new Fresh Jersey Milk promises a richer, deeper nutritional content that will nourish you and your family even better than before. With its creamier taste and better nutrition, Jersey milk could also become your new go-to ingredient for baking!
Without doubt, Greenfields Fresh Jersey Milk is the better choice of milk for a happier and healthier family.

Is the Clubhouse App a Safe Place for Kids to Hangout?
Most of us have fond summer memories of hanging out with friends in a secret clubhouse. However, this isn’t that. While the word clubhouse stirs up instant feelings of belonging to a group of friends, the digital Clubhouse app, we’re referencing is a meeting hub for users over 18. Currently, still in its beta phase, Clubhouse is by invitation only. This exclusivity is also what makes it somewhat irresistible for tweens and teens looking for a new place to meet with friends.
How it works
Clubhouse is an all-audio social network; kind of like a podcast meets a group phone call. Guests may drop in and even speak if they raise their hand are unmuted by the speaker. Speakers create “rooms” each with different topics and invite people to join in on that discussion.
The app found its wings as a fun place to connect during the pandemic. Mom groups, business roundtables, staff meetings, political groups, think tanks, and hobbyists flocked to connect on the app and still do. The topics are plentiful and there’s always a conversation happening that you can access with a click.
Currently there aren’t any parental controls or privacy settings on Clubhouse. While the app states that there’s a minimum age requirement of 18, there isn’t an actual age-verification system. As with so many other apps, anyone under 18 can simply get an invite, fake their age, and either drop in on any of the conversations going on or start their own room.
Mature content. Topics on Clubhouse cover a wide range of topics both mainstream and fringe. So, if an underage user fills out their profile information and interests, they will automatically get invitations to several daily discussions, which may or may not be age appropriate. They can also explore and join any kind of group.
Bullying. Clubhouse discussions are uncensored. Therefore, it’s possible that a heated discussion, biased comments, or bullying can take place.
Misinformation. If you walked through a crowded mall, you might overhear a dozen different accounts about a news event, a person, or a topic. The same holds true for Clubhouse where commentary is the currency. Therefore, misinformation is likely (as is common with any other app).
Accounts can’t be locked. Another privacy gap on Clubhouse is that accounts can’t be set to private and rooms/conversations will remain open by default unless the host makes it private, which means anyone can drop in.
The celebrity hook. Clubhouse has attracted celebrities and social media influencers to its halls who host discussions. This is a big draw for kids who want to hear real-life conversations and just get a bit closer to their favorite celebrity. Again, content can be unpredictable in these rooms and potentially risky for underage users.
Talk about the app
Why age restrictions matter. More and more, kids who ignore age restrictions on apps are wandering into trouble. Consider talking to your child about why age restrictions exist, the consequences if they are ignored, and some alternative apps that might be safer.
Why content matters. With so many images and ideas coming across our screens every day, holding fast to our content standards can be a challenge for families. Talk to kids about why age-appropriate conversations, topics, and friend groups matter online and what happens when you try to speed up that process. Discuss how content filters and parental controls work and consider them for your family.
The good news about Clubhouse (when it comes to young users) is that along with its rapid growth, the creators are reportedly responding to consumer safety demands and daily increasing in-app safety features for reporting harassment and abuse.

Bulguksa stands out due to its cultural and religious importance. | <urn:uuid:464be00b-9d72-4d34-82ac-066180d45b6a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.travelgumbo.com/topic/top-10-destinations-worth-exploring-in-korea | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.932858 | 627 | 1.546875 | 2 |
Today I read a blog post about the FCC net neutrality decision and it’s potential impact on manufacturers. I can’t say that I agreed with the post, and thought I’d use this blog as an opportunity to comment on some aspects of the above-linked article, which I’ll quote from below.
Today FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and two other commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received a standing ovation after voting in favor to apply 1930’s era regulations to the internet. It’s doubtful any manufacturers were in the audience
In the 1930s, regulation created one phone company, which stifled innovation in telecommunications. The FCC regulations here aren’t going to consolidate internet service providers into one conglomerate. So, I don’t know that I understand what is meant by this statement.
The internet has become a critical tool across the manufacturing enterprise. It is used to run machines on the shop floor, it connects cars to make them safer, it allows small manufacturers to grow their business globally. Manufacturers have leveraged the internet and other technology to become the most innovative industry in the world.
I don’t disagree with this at all. Utilizing an open platform has allowed and fostered innovation.
The FCC’s decision today to regulate the internet puts that innovation at risk.
Net neutrality means that a service provider cannot charge a company for preferred access to the network. All communication should be treated equally. This has been the de facto standard for the internet since its inception from the days of DARPA.
It’s the threat of service providers like Verizon and Comcast that would have threatened innovation by requiring companies to pay for access to Verizon or Comcast customers, or have their service be disrupted by lack of bandwidth.
Investment in this piece of critical infrastructure has driven the United States to be the world’s internet technology leader.
According to who? Compare the bandwidth available to American consumers at the individual and business level with customers in other developed nations around the world, and you’ll find we’re paying far more money for far less service than our worldly competitors.
Any future investment decisions will now have to be reevaluated as a result of the FCC’s action today. This means manufacturers will be delayed in accessing state-of-the-art technology they need to differentiate themselves in the world market.
If someone can explain how keeping a service provider from opportunistically price-gouging customers in what is generally an oligopoly equates to being denied state-of-the-art technology, I’m open to being educated. | <urn:uuid:d0e8efb6-1555-4c44-bc37-23a4426d054b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.raytech-measuring.com/net-neutrality-one-small-business-view-%25postid%25/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.949702 | 547 | 2.4375 | 2 |
Where government COVID-19 restrictions prevented traditional provision of extension services, and in order to increase the reach of agricultural information already shared, the RFS country project team in Kenya turned to SMS-based communication systems to advise and support farmers.
Adapted from an original article written by John Gathagu, The Nature Conservancy.
Mobile phone technology offers an easy, affordable, effective way to bridge information gaps and connect the links of agricultural value chains — even during times of widespread lockdowns and social distancing under COVID-19.
When RFS community work in the Upper Tana watershed came to a halt in March 2020 because of government travel and social distancing restrictions, the country project team explored ways of continuing conservation work without in-person support.
For years, agriculture in Kenya has been influenced by both climatic and human-induced factors. In rural areas, the impact of inadequate rains on agricultural production has been particularly severe due to the predominance of rain-fed cropping systems. Climate projections indicate that rainfall variability is likely to increase in the region and further impact food security for the rapidly increasing human population.
These challenges have been compounded by inadequate or non-existent extension services to farmers. Smallholder farmers not only require services to improve crop productivity but also advice on other development areas like access to markets, value addition, and diversified income generation opportunities.
To counter this, the RFS implementing agency in Kenya, The Nature Conservancy, rolled out a partnership programme with county governments to support, train and link farmers to agricultural extension services through innovative communication channels, including SMS-messaging platforms.
In just four years, the project has partnered with the county governments of Laikipia, Nyeri, Murang’a and Nyandarua to support more than 50,000 smallholder farmers. Each county government has seconded a full-time county extension officer to the project. The project has further recruited 15 youths as technology promoters to support farmers in the implementation of sustainable technologies for rainwater harvesting and irrigation.
To increase the number of farmers reached through extension services, the RFS Kenya project developed a mobile phone SMS platform that provides for two-way communication between individual farmers and extension officers. The platform, which has more than 37,000 registered farmers, conveys information related to conservation techniques, weather patterns and accessing farm inputs.
Kenya is not the only RFS country project leveraging the power of mobile phones to improve the reach of extension services. In Eswatini, the RFS project has rolled out an SMS-based messaging system linked to the national Agricultural Market and Information System (AMIS). The messaging system is designed to support the dissemination of information quickly and over a vast area.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the current and future value of these platforms. In Eswatini, the SMS system helped deliver essential information, including early warning for disease outbreaks, weather information, and marketing and pricing guidance, during periods when extension officers were restricted from travelling. In Kenya, the functionality of the SMS platform was expanded to facilitate the distribution of project materials, capitalising on partners who were able to operate due to their essential service status.
Through the SMS platform, communities were able to request water pan liners, which the project then procured and delivered. To maintain social distance and avoid crowding, three farmers were scheduled each day to collect the liners at central locations communicated to them via SMS. The pilot has been so successful that the Kenya project is working to expand the use of the SMS system to accelerate the distribution of other project materials, including tree seedlings.
In both Kenya and Eswatini, the use of SMS communication is saving the project teams time and resources while still ensuring beneficiaries get the most up-to-date information and support, proving to be a win-win for project beneficiaries and country project teams alike. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, innovations like these have been essential in maintaining project momentum in the face of significant setbacks.

Hello friends! Are you afraid of death? Then I have good news for you. There is One Man who is stronger than death. His name is Jesus Christ. Now listen while you look at each picture and I will tell you what the Bible says about Him.
Picture 39. Jesus Raises a Widow's Son
Jesus is with a funeral procession. We read about this in the Bible, in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 7. I will read from verse 11 to verse 17.
'Jesus and his disciples were on their way to the town of Nain, and a big crowd was going along with them. As they came near the gate of the town, they saw people carrying out the body of a widow's only son. Many people from the town were walking along with her.
When the Lord saw the woman, He felt sorry for her and said, "Do not cry!" Jesus went over and touched the stretcher on which the people were carrying the dead boy. They stopped, and Jesus said, "Young man, get up!" The boy sat up and began to speak. Jesus then gave him back to his mother.
Everyone was frightened and praised God. They said, "A great prophet is here with us! God has come to his people." News about Jesus spread all over Judea and everywhere else in that part of the country.' Friends, Jesus could raise people from death! This happened about two thousand years ago in the land of Israel.
Picture 49. A Dead Girl is Raised to Life
This shows us another amazing thing which Jesus did. It is also in the Bible, in Mark, chapter 5. Listen while I read from verse 35 to verse 43.
..'Some men came from Jairus' home and said, "Your daughter has died! Do not bother the teacher." Jesus heard what they said, and he said to Jairus, "Do not worry. Just have faith!" Jesus did not let anyone go with him except Peter and the two brothers, James and John. They went home with Jairus and saw the people crying and making a lot of noise.
Then Jesus went inside and said to them, "Why are you crying and carrying on like this? The child is not dead. She is just sleeping." But the people laughed at him.
After Jesus had sent them all out of the house, he took the girl's father and mother and three of his followers and went to where she was. He took the 12-year-old girl by the hand and said, "Talitha, koum!" which means, "Little girl, get up!" The girl got straight up and started walking around. Everyone was greatly surprised. But Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened. Then he said, "Give her something to eat."'
Holy men from many years ago spoke about One who would come from God. They said, "The LORD who is All-Powerful will destroy the power of death and wipe away all tears." (This is written in Isaiah 25, verse 8.) Jesus is LORD. That is why He could raise people from the dead.
Picture 79. Jesus Raises Lazarus from Death
John 11:1, 3-7, 17, 19-23, 25-27, 38-39, 41, 43-44
This is found in the Gospel of John, chapter 11. I will start reading from verse 1.
'A man by the name of Lazarus was sick in the village of Bethany. He had two sisters, Mary and Martha. The sisters sent a message to the Lord and told him that his good friend Lazarus was sick. When Jesus heard this, he said, "His sickness will not end in death. It will bring glory to God and His Son." Jesus loved Martha and her sister and brother. But he stayed where he was for two more days. Then he said to his disciples, "Now we'll go to Lazarus"...
When Jesus got to Bethany, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days...
Many people had come from the city to comfort Martha and Mary because their brother had died.
When Martha heard that Jesus had arrived, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed in the house. Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. Yet even now I know that God will do anything you ask." Jesus told her, "Your brother will live again!"..."I am the one who raises the dead to life! Everyone who has faith in me will live, even if they die. And everyone who has faith in me will never really die. Do you believe this?" "Yes Lord!" she replied. "I believe that you are Christ, the Son of God." ..Jesus ..went to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone rolled against the entrance. Then he told the people to roll the stone away...
After the stone had been rolled away, Jesus looked up and prayed... Then he shouted, "Lazarus, come out!" The man who had been dead came out. His hands and feet were wrapped with strips of burial cloth, and a cloth covered his face.
Jesus told the people, "Untie him and let him go." In another place Jesus said, "Don't be surprised! The time will come when all of the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man, and they will come out of their graves." This tells us that we will all be raised from death. But there is more. Listen! He also said, "Everyone who has done good things will rise to life, but everyone who has done evil things will rise and be condemned." (John 5:28,29) So some people will rise to a life of joy, and others to a life of punishment.
Picture 108. The Crucifixion
Many Jewish people believed that Jesus was from God. They wanted to make Him their king. But the leaders of the Jews were wicked men. They were jealous of Jesus. They seized Jesus and they killed Him. This picture shows us how He died. In Mark's gospel chapter 15, verses 22 to 39, we read about His death. Listen carefully.
'The soldiers took Jesus to Golgotha, which means the 'Place of a Skull'. There they gave him some wine mixed with a drug to ease the pain, but he refused to drink it.
They nailed Jesus to a cross and gambled to see who would get his clothes. It was about nine o'clock in the morning when they nailed him to the cross. On it was a sign which said why he was nailed there. It read, "This is the King of the Jews." The soldiers also nailed two criminals on crosses, one on the right of Jesus and the other on his left.
People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and shouted, "..Save yourself and come down from the cross!"
The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses also made fun of Jesus. They said to each other, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is.. the king of Israel, let him come down from the cross! Then we will see and believe." From midday the sky turned dark and stayed that way until around three o'clock. Then about that time Jesus shouted with a loud voice...and he died.
A Roman army officer was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he said, "This man really was the Son of God!"'
Why did Jesus Christ have to die? The Bible tells us - "He was wounded and crushed because of our sins." (This is in the book of Isaiah chapter 53, verses 5.) Yes, all people have sinned. We all deserve to die for our own sin. However Jesus Christ died in our place. He took the punishment for our sins. Jesus let evil men kill him so that He could save us from death.
Picture 114. Jesus Appears to His Disciples
In this picture Jesus is alive again! On the third day after His death, Jesus came back to life. Many people saw Him. We read about this picture in the Bible in John chapter 20 from verse 19 to verse 23. It says,
'The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the the Sunday after Jesus died, they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very happy.'
Many other people saw Jesus after he rose from death. Jesus was also called Christ. In Corinthians chapter 15 we read, "Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say. He was buried, and three days later he was raised to life, as the Scriptures say. Christ appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After this he appeared to more than 500 other followers. Christ has been raised to life! And he makes us certain that others will also be raised to life." The first man in this world called Adam brought death to all people, but Christ will bring life to us all. All people will die because of Adam, but those who believe in Jesus Christ will be raised to life!
The Bible also says, "The price of sin is death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord." (This is in Romans chapter 6 verse 23.)
Picture 118. Jesus Ascends into Heaven
The Bible tells us what is happening in this picture in Mark chapter 16, verses 15 and 16.
'Jesus told his disciples, "Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world. Anyone who believes me, will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe me will be condemned." After the Lord Jesus had said these things to the disciples, he was taken back up to heaven where he sat down at the right side of God.' You can see Jesus going up to heaven in the picture.
The Bible also tells us, "Christ Jesus has come to show us the kindness of God. Christ our Saviour defeated death and brought us the good news. It shines like a light and offers life that never ends." (2nd Timothy 1, verse 10)
Jesus can save you from everlasting death. If you believe in Him, Jesus will give you a new body after you die. So we do not need to fear death. That is why the Bible says, (in Psalm 23 verse 4) "Even though I walk in... the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. God is with me." This is the Good News. It is good news for everyone - men and women, young or old. Jesus told His followers to share it with all the people in the world.
Picture 120. Jesus Will Return
Here we can see Jesus. He is in heaven. One day He will return to earth again. The Bible tells us in Revelation chapter 1, verses 5 and 7, 'Jesus was the first to conquer death, and he is the ruler of all earthly kings. Jesus Christ loves us, and by his blood he sets us free from our sins...To him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. Look! He is coming with the clouds. Everyone will see him, even the ones who stuck a sword through him. Yes, it will happen." Jesus said, "Don't be afraid! I am the first, the last, and the living one. I died, but now I am alive for ever more, and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead." (Revelation chapter 1, verses 17 and 18.)
The words of God are true! If you believe in the Lord Jesus you can have everlasting life. You don't have to fear death any more! | <urn:uuid:6fe69ea5-d4e1-432d-b846-3e8a4bf8cd21> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://globalrecordings.net/ar/script/en/446 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.978727 | 2,909 | 1.945313 | 2 |
Huntly Wood is a natural haven, an approx. 10-acre wood sited on steep wooded banks between the Huntly Road and the River Bann, Banbridge
In 2006 Banbridge Golf Club kindly granted the Council a lease to manage this woodland area for public access and conservation. It was officially opened to the public in July 2007.
Enjoy a calming stroll among mature Beech and Oak trees in this small area of woodland. The approx. 0.75-mile circular walk follows, for a short distance, the track of the former Banbridge to Scarva railway line along the River Bann before looping back along the upper banks to the starting point at the lay-by.
Standing and fallen dead and decaying timber supports a wide range of birds and insects and it has been left in the wood for this reason.
Otters roam the riverbank here foraging for food, and the wood is a good habitat for bats – 4 of the 8 species of bat found in NI have been identified in the wood. | <urn:uuid:76d0dbb1-6ce3-4c75-9da4-9adfe33bbd25> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://getactiveabc.com/parks/huntly-wood/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954796 | 210 | 1.8125 | 2 |
What Is Woodworking?
Woodworking implies a great deal of things, yet right here’s moderately monotonous meaning I thought of that most enthusiasts will possibly agree with
Woodworking is an efficient craft that involves cutting, shaping, and joining timber to create attractive and/or useful novice woodworking plans points.
There is nothing physically requiring concerning woodworking and you can build at your own pace. The standard ideas are simple to discover, yet it’s a hobby that will always remain fresh and also challenging as your skills evolve. If you love problem-solving, you will enjoy woodworking. I have actually been at this for over 40 years and deal with brand-new obstacles with every task I construct.
It becomes part of the procedure. It’s also rewarding to generate actually trendy stuff for your home using your hands and mind. As a whole, woodworking is a really solitary experience: if you are a bit shy and love tackling tasks from start to finish, you will certainly like woodworking.
Who Are Woodworkers?
There used to be 2 stereotypes of woodworkers. The grouchy shop educator who educated a truly monotonous course to children who really did not want to be there, and also the retired grandpa that puttered around in his garage with a lot of time to construct an occasional birdhouse.
Fortunately, those stereotypes are no more true. There is even more variety in woodworking now than in the past, thanks to online neighborhoods as well as the price of tools and products.
In the past ten years there has been a significant increase in two groups of people making woodworking a pastime. First, women. It had not been that long ago when a women woodworker was unusual. Today, women woodworkers are prevalent. There is nothing concerning woodworking that any person can’t do.
The second significant demographic spike has actually been among millennials, individuals in their 20s and also 30s. I speak with individuals at all times who operate in silicon valley or simply have some type of workplace task and also really feel the need to make things with their hands.
What’s The Difference In Between A “Manufacturer” And Also A “WoodWorker”?
A maker is a fairly brand-new term that has actually cropped up in the past decade approximately. It’s an all-inclusive term for individuals who like to dabble in various crafts. This might indicate a little woodworking, metalworking, epoxying, concreting, computer system programs, electronics, 3D printing, cooking, stitching, knitting, jewelry production, sculpting, porcelains, robotics, also having fun with Legos. So primarily, we are all makers.
A woodworker is a manufacturer who is mainly interested in discovering and also improving the craft of developing points out of timber. Sometimes we bring other materials right into our jobs, but the emphasis is on the wood. It’s an affordable, timeless product that’s simple to construct with.
Ted’s 16,000 Woodworking Plans
I’ve had my eye on Ted’s 16,000 woodworking plans for some time.
It appeared also good to be real. Although I’m not a devoted woodworker, I figured if I made one or a few of the tasks from the package it would be money well spent.
My inquisitiveness obtained the best of me. I bit the bullet as well as bought it. They offer a refund so I figured if it was completely pointless I might request for my refund.
Is is as well great to be true?
Not truly. It’s respectable. It’s not ideal, yet it’s excellent.
A few of the strategies are so negative but are consisted of just to intensify the sales pitch of “16,000” strategies.
And then several of the plans are excellent. Some are all right. I’m not surprised it’s not excellent. It’s a large collection and also mishmash of different prepare for all sort of items.
Here’s the mindset you ought to have if you buy Ted’s Woodworking. Approve the truth you will not like every plan. As a matter of fact, accept you will probably not do 90% or more of them for any variety of factors such as the strategies misbehave and/or they aren’t jobs you want to build.
BUT, the few plans that you do like and that are suitable top quality, if you build them, will be make the expense of this digital collection of woodworking plans worth it.
That should get Ted’s Woodworking?
This is for people that like do it yourself jobs. The majority of the plans are labeled “newbie”, “intermediate” or “sophisticated” which is useful.
Even if you have actually never ever developed anything or done any kind of woodworking, this is a pretty good set of strategies to start with due to the fact that there are beginner projects included.
You can develop all sort of things for your residence. See the list of strategy categories listed below.
At the end of the day, if you do the weird do it yourself job or dabble in woodworking, this is a good set of strategies to have in your supply.
Regarding the Product
I haven’t counted to see if there are 16,000 plans, however I verify there are a lot of them.
Thankfully they are well arranged so you can discover specifically what you’re trying to find.
Ted’s Woodworking is delivered as a PDF download. It’s actually a collection of PDF downloads (see plan classifications over).
Nonetheless, you can also purchase the DVD version but it costs an extra $19.95 (I really did not pay $19.95 for the DVD variation).
Some great woodworking plans: Undoubtedly if a plan is something you intend to develop and the strategy is described sufficient so that you can finish the task it’s excellent.
However, a few of the jobs are old as well as the plans are poor quality … so poor you’ll most likely simply neglect them.
On the and also side, there are numerous excellent tasks worth structure. For example, the loft bed plan above is outstanding (among numerous).
Well Organized: I was eased after acquiring Ted’s Woodworking that I didn’t need to look with hundreds of PDF pages. Instead, Ted at least place some initiative right into organizing the strategies in many classifications. This made finding some suitable plans really simple.
In fact, the participants’ area is actually easy to use and also well organized.
Good value for cash: One or two finished projects from this product makes it worth the money. I believe I’ll get my cash’s well worth in the future and I’ve yet to have a look at every single plan included. I have actually located sufficient quality jobs that I’m satisfied with the item value given it’s relatively low cost.
Expense: It’s not really costly. Given that it’s an electronic download, you don’t have to spend for an expensive book, which is wonderful.
Ideas: One benefit of there being numerous plans is just by brushing via the plans I created brand-new job concepts I had not considered in the past.
Some awful plans: However several of the strategies are terrible which suggests you need to invest some time infiltrating the bad plans. I would choose a product with fewer plans with each one be top quality.
Woodworking Videos: These are a joke. Fortunately it’s simply a benefit so I didn’t care. I think these damage the product. The videos are mostly from YouTube. Ted just brushed via YouTube searching for woodworking video clips and also placed them in the participants’ location. I looked into a few of the video clips as well as they weren’t worth viewing.
Generally, I’m pleased. I discovered numerous tasks worth doing and also the strategies were completely outlined that I ‘d have the ability to construct them.
It’s a great supply to have on hand although I have no prompt need. If ever before I wish to build something, I have an excellent collection of strategies to take a look at. | <urn:uuid:5bfc12fa-cb2d-4185-9e63-1a0dd6dd1380> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.engagement-group.com/novice-woodworking-plans/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.963301 | 1,775 | 2.703125 | 3 |
For those of you who were unable to attend the talk, here are the notes:
NUTRITION and PHYSICAL DEGENERATION
Here’s an excerpt from the Financial Times Weekend dated 16/7/17. A panel of experts were asked “What’s the big, bad idea?” within their field of expertise. This is the answer given by Stephen Westaby, a heart surgeon:
“One of the most interesting pieces of news to come out of the (recent conference of the) European Society of Cardiology was that people who have a low-fat diet have a higher mortality rate. For years and years and years, we’ve been flogged with advice to avoid bacon, to avoid eggs, to avoid cheese. A very large study has shown that those who take a low-fat diet have about a 25% chance of dying earlier, either from heart disease or cancer. So we’ve had 25 years of misinformation”.
Study: 135,000 people in 18 countries:
- Low intakes of saturated fat increase chances of early death by 13%.
- Consuming high levels of all fats cuts early death rates by up to 23%.
- Carbohydrate-laden diets are amongst the most unhealthy with those eating refined sugar and processed meals having a 28% higher risk of early death.
- Getting 35% of calories from fat was the “sweet spot”.
So what has happened to our diet and health? How come we’ve had “25 years of misinformation” which has increased our risk of heart disease and cancer? On what evidence exactly was this “misinformation” based? How has our diet actually changed over the years and why did those changes occur in the first place? Are all of the “Western diseases” of tooth decay, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, bowel disease, NAFLD, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer’s associated with a “Western” diet and has their incidence increased with changes in diet?
In order to answer these questions, we must take a logical approach and look at the following:
- The human diet through the ages to see what foods we evolved to eat
- The incidence of “Western” diseases in populations eating traditional foods
rather than a Western diet
- How “civilisation”, industrialisation and political intervention based on bad science
has altered our diet
- How the incidence of disease has changed with diet.
The simplest approach is a chronological one. So we are going to start by looking back not just 25 years, but two and a half million years.
2.5 million years ago to about 15,000BC-Paleolithic era. Marked by the use of stone tools by early Homo habilis who evolved into Homo sapiens during this period. Hunter-gatherer diet, wide variation of plant/animal sources.
Agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago, early growing of wild cereals mainly in the East, domestication of animals and settled populations
Industrial revolution 200 years ago in 1800s and importation of sugar from Caribbean/slave trade, mechanisation of food production. Appearance of diabetes (rare, 1-2 per 1000) and obesity only amongst the affluent. Sugar consumption per person per annum was about 5lbs.
Early 1900s- 2nd WW– trans fats and processed foods, steady level of sugar consumption, less during WWs. Diet low in refined carbohydrates was the standard treatment for obesity across Europe. Grandparents knew to avoid starchy food or get fat. Sugar consumption was about 40lbs pp pa.
1930s- Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price, a masterpiece of nutritional science. One man’s study of the effects of a “Western” diet on hunter-gatherer populations – “Western” diseases previously absent appeared within a generation. The photographic evidence of the physical degeneration resulting from the abrupt change from indigenous foods to a Western diet is painstakingly recorded in a multitude of “primitive” populations across the world.
Observing healthy, remote populations untouched by the West, he found perfect dental arches, minimal tooth decay, high immunity to tuberculosis and infectious diseases and absence of “Western” diseases. On introduction to modern foods, white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable oils and canned goods, signs of physical degeneration quickly followed. Dental caries, deformed jaws, crooked teeth, club feet, increase in “mental defectives” and a low immunity to tuberculosis and other infectious diseases became rampant.
1950-1970s– an “epidemic” of heart disease (CHD). Loss of European scientific papers (especially those in German) expressing the view that obesity was due to refined carbohydrates and sugar. Sugar consumption was about 70lbs pp pa.
1970s– Big debate on the dietary cause of CHD – fat or sugar. Sugar consumption now about 100lbs pp pa (ie we were eating in 2 weeks the sugar our ancestors of 200 years ago ate in a year). Ancel Keys (cholesterol/saturated fat) vs John Yudkin (sugar). Seven Countries study (trans fats included in studies at this time, also not yet known that there are 2 types of LDL and TGLs difficult to measure). French paradox. Food industry supported Keys, his laboratory financed by US Sugar Association; Prof. Yudkin personally and professionally attacked by British Sugar Foundation, wrote “Pure, White and Deadly”.
1977 – a defining moment George McGovern, Chairman of US Committee on Nutrition, a politician, decided it was fat causing CHD, against scientific advice that the fat/CHD hypothesis was unproven and the effects of a low fat diet were untested and unknown. His decision led to “Dietary Goals for the US” in 1980, the start of the low fat/high carbohydrate diet. Advice was to reduce dietary fats (from 40% of dietary calories to 30% with no more than one third from saturated fat) and increase carbohydrates (to 55-60% of dietary calories).
1992 US Food Pyramid. The first chart suggested to the USDA by nutritional experts in 1980 featured fruits and vegetables as the biggest group, not bread and other starchy foods. The original research based ‘Pyramid’ emphasized eating
- more vegetables and fruits, with this group at the base of the pyramid
- less meat, salt, sugary foods, bad fat, and additive-rich factory foods.
This chart was overturned at the hand of special interests in the grain, meat, and dairy industries, all of which are heavily subsidized by the USDA. If Americans followed the chart suggested, they would buy much less meat, milk, and bread. However, the original composer of the food Pyramid, Luise Light warned that if they ate as the revised chart suggested, it “could lead to an epidemic of obesity and diabetes”
USDA censored that research-based version of the food guide and altered it to include more refined grains with 6-11 portions of bread, cereal, rice and pasta, only releasing their revamped version in 1992, 12 years after it was originally scheduled for release.
2005 US Food Pyramid. The new 2005 Pyramid was again criticized as being heavily influenced by the food and drug industries. A series of research articles in 2013 and 2015 demonstrated that the dietary data used to develop the US Dietary Guidelines were “incompatible with survival” and should not be used for public policy.
A research paper in the British Medical Journal in 2016 states that the scientific committee advising the US government has not used standard methods for most of its analyses. It instead relies on the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology which are heavily supported by food and drug companies.
UK advice followed that of the US over this period. NHS advice is currently in the form of the Public Health England “Eatwell Guide” (2016).
1977-1996 low fat / high carbohydrate diet advice changes the food industry products and the dietary patterns of the population As government advised us to eat a low fat/high carbohydrate diet, the food industry responded by making foods predominantly low fat/low cholesterol, increasing the use of manufactured fats and sugar. Consumption of butter fell by 38%, meat by 13% and eggs by 18%, whilst grains/sugar consumption soared by 45%. Obesity rates and diabetes soared too, as predicted back in 1980 by Luise Light in his objections to the 1992 US Food Pyramid, revised by the USDA under pressure from the food industries.
Present Day 2017 – Sugar consumption now about 150lbs pp pa – over 20 times that of 200 years ago. In 1975, 105M people obese globally. In 2014, the figure was over 6 times higher at 641M. Currently in the UK, over two-thirds of people in the UK have a BMI over 25 and are either overweight or obese. By 2025, 38% are expected to have a BMI over 30 and be obese. Type 2 diabetes affects 9% (about 3.5M) in the UK with a further rise to nearly 5M predicted by 2035. Obesity and diabetes are associated with higher risks of kidney disease, CHD, and vascular disease such as strokes. Yet Type 2 diabetes is “largely preventable” according to the director of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Program.
US Obesity levels have soared from 10-15% in the mid 1970s to nearly 40% in 2017.
Annual per capita sugar consumption has increased from 5lbs per person in the 1800s to 150lbs today.
History shows us that populations eating a hunter-gatherer diet of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, eggs, nuts, & seeds, which is low in processed foods, sugar, refined carbohydrates and manufactured fats, do not suffer from Western diseases. Even today, the Masai subsist on cattle blood, meat, milk and little else. Native Americans subsist on beans and maize. And the Inuit in Greenland subsist on whale blubber and a bit of lichen. These populations are unaffected by Western diseases. In the 1930s, Weston Price showed us that the introduction to a hunter-gatherer population of a “Western” diet, i.e. a diet high in refined carbohydrates, flour, processed fats & sugar, is associated with the appearance of physical degeneration within just one generation.
Yet despite this nutritional knowledge, the “Western” low fat high carbohydrate diet has been US and UK government advice for decades and remains government advice today. The irony is, the one diet we have invented for ourselves – the Western diet – is the one that makes us sick. As the cardiologist Stephen Westaby has just said, we have had “25 years of misinformation”.
(Note: I am assuming that “25 years” is referring to the first US Food Pyramid published in 1992.)
The result? Physical degeneration. We now have unprecedented levels of obesity and diabetes (with the possibility that other Western diseases hypertension, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, NAFLD, bowel disease and cancer share a common cause – to be discussed another time).
Current evidence clearly shows that the low fat/high carbohydrate diet is unhealthy. Low saturated fat intake increases your chance of early death whilst higher fat intakes reduce it, and high carbohydrate diets have the highest risk of early death. The emphasis on calories, “eat less, move more” is based on the flawed energy balance equation (again the subject of a future talk!). The food industry declares that calories from sugar are fine as part of a “calorie controlled diet” rather than examine the effect of sugar on our health. Government blames the individual for poor dietary choices contributing to their health problems rather than question their own dietary advice.
Comments on diet by eminent physicians 200 years ago show that the cause of obesity (starchy, sugary foods) was already recognised:
“Taken in tea, milk and beer, sugar has caused lean people to grow fat” Benjamin Moseley (1799)
Weight gain is due to eating too many “fattening carbohydrates” and “many of our diseases may be attributed to too free a use of sweet food” William Banting, Letter on Corpulence (1863)
“Sure enough, carnivorous animals never grow fat (consider wolves, jackals, birds of prey, crows, etc.). Herbivorous animals do not grow fat easily, at least until age has reduced them to a state of inactivity; but they fatten very quickly as soon as they begin to be fed on potatoes, grain, or any kind of flour. … The second of the chief causes of obesity is the floury and starchy substances which man makes the prime ingredients of his daily nourishment. As we have said already, all animals that live on farinaceous food grow fat willy-nilly; and man is no exception to the universal law”. Brillat-Savarin, Jean Anthelme (1825). The Physiology of Taste.
So, what does history tell us to eat?
Populations which eat indigenous food are healthy. Introduction of processed foods, white flour, sugar and processed fats coincides with physical degeneration. Government advice since 1980 has been to increase our consumption of these modern foodstuffs. Our health has worsened. Ironically, despite the affluence of the West we suffer physical degeneration due to malnutrition. What to do?
Stop and think. Look at what is in front of you. Is it really food?
Nutrition author and harsh critic of US food policies Michael Pollan coined the phrase “foodlike substances”- stuff to be avoided (i.e. processed foods, anything out of a factory, anything with a long list of ingredients, anything with ingredients you can’t pronounce, anything which doesn’t eventually rot, anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognise as food). “Food” means real food – vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, seafood, eggs, whole grains, nuts, seeds, dairy). His dietary advice (7 words) is simple:
“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants”.
And we’ll leave the last word with Marie Antoinette:

The purpose here is not to lay blame. I’m not going to say it’s her fault, or the fault of the school, her parents, or even the church. What I will say is that I don’t believe she was given to tools necessary to protect herself, either physically or emotionally.
the struggle didn’t end in 1865. In another five years, the fifteenth amendment gave African American men the right to vote on February 3, 1870. Then came the Jim Crow laws, designed to suppress minorities in individual states. In 1896, the Fourteenth Amendment was passed guaranteeing equal protection regardless of race as the law of the land in an effort to end the individual Jim Crow Laws. This wasn’t the end either.
the decision to go public with this information has turned the entire investigation into a political game show. If, indeed, their evidence is as strong as they are saying, it should be used in the courts to bring charges, the only way to get justice in our Constitution.

If you are a golfer, you are probably wondering how to use alignment sticks. Alignment sticks are small devices that help you find the ball in your stance. You can use one in your practice or on the golf course. This article will explain how to use an alignment stick and how it can improve your aim. It also will help you find the ball when you are in the correct stance. In addition, this tool is inexpensive, so you may find yourself buying one for your next round.
You can use alignment sticks on the golf course
Alignment sticks help improve your accuracy. Place them on the ground about four meters from your stance. They simulate trees that block your path to the hole. Shape your shot around these trees to achieve maximum distance and consistency. You can also use alignment sticks to improve your putting. To use them, place them on the ground at least one yard from the front and back of the green. To improve your putting, start by hitting the ball toward the sticks and move them backwards.
Alignment sticks are most commonly used for alignment. When properly used, alignment sticks will provide a baseline to determine the proper position of your ball and club. Simply place two sticks at the appropriate angles, with the ball placed where they intersect. For example, if you’re playing a fade, you’ll want the ball positioned where the sticks intersect. Alignment sticks will also help you improve your ball position by opening the toe alignment angle.
Alignment sticks can also be used for basic golf drills. Line them up directly over the ball. Then, set the golf ball in the desired distance. To use them on the golf course, you should first pick a target distance for your mid-iron. Then, place a golf ball on the golf range mat. Position the alignment stick directly above the ball. This will help you see if you are striking the ball correctly. Likewise, if you’re hitting the ball from the inside to the outside, you should avoid striking the stick.
Another method to use alignment sticks on the golf course is using a stick to determine the right angle for your golf swing. Lay the stick parallel to your ball and closer to your feet. Your golf club will follow the alignment line and align your feet in the direction of your target. Afterward, you’ll remove the stick that’s closer to your feet. This can be a challenging technique, but it will improve your distance, accuracy, and consistency.
You can use them during practice
You can use alignment sticks during practice to make sure you’re hitting your ball at the proper position. These tools are usually made of fiberglass so that they won’t break when struck by golf clubs. You can also purchase adjustable sticks and T-shaped ones. You can use them for different drills, such as aiming the ball at the target. Here are some tips on using alignment sticks during practice:
The first thing to do is place the alignment stick half a club’s length behind your body. The stick should be lined up with the line you’re shooting at, which should be parallel to your hips, shoulders, and feet. This will ensure that your swing plane is square and helps you finish your shot with a full finish. The next step is to shoot some videos of yourself swinging the alignment stick. A slow-motion swing will allow you to see where the stick is pointed.
Another important tip to remember when using alignment sticks is to make sure you keep the alignment rods parallel. A bad swing can develop bad habits because the ball isn’t aligned correctly. Alignment sticks are a great way to keep your alignment accurate. You can use two sticks, one on either side of the ball. If you close the alignment stick on the toe, the ball should be positioned where the two sticks meet.
Aside from using alignment sticks during practice, golfers can also make use of them on the course. To use alignment sticks on the green, you must first set up a square alignment to the target, with your club in position behind the ball. Once you’re over the ball, you can hit a shot along the guided path and watch the result. Correct alignment is critical to improving your game. However, this method will only work if you know what you’re doing.
You can use them to improve your aim
To improve your aim, try using alignment sticks. These are small sticks that can be positioned along the toe line. The first one should be aimed at your target, and the second one should point to the ball. Aligning your aim with the alignment sticks will help you achieve a more consistent ball position. Make sure to place the sticks at the right distance and angle. There are many ways to use alignment sticks.
Alignment sticks can be used to check your alignment during a practice swing. Place one stick in front of your front foot, and align the other with your target. You should hit perfect shots while looking through the sticks. Using alignment sticks will also help you get a better setup position. Aside from hitting the ball, they will also help you monitor your hip turn and swing plane. Using alignment sticks for golf is a great way to improve your aim.
Alignment sticks are useful for golf players of all levels. You can use them while playing to get better results. The sticks come in different lengths, but they are usually around thirty inches. These sticks are easy to use and do not break during a round of golf. If you’re not sure how to use alignment sticks, talk to a PGA trainer and get some tips. You’ll be glad you tried these tools.
Using alignment sticks during practice is a great way to increase accuracy of shots. The alignment sticks will help you get your toes aligned with your target and improve your aim. The goal is to have the correct alignment so your shot is accurate. When you’re playing golf, remember to get the right alignment to maximize your score. So, the next time you’re playing golf, use alignment sticks to improve your aim.
You can use them to find the ball in your stance
Alignment sticks are a simple, yet effective way to visualize where the ball should be in your stance. You can use two sticks perpendicular to each other, positioned six to eight feet apart. Line up one stick along the target line, and the other stick perpendicular to your toes. When the ball hits the left stick, your swing will be an outside-in one, which will result in a slice. If you hit the right stick, your ball will stay on a plane.
Alignment sticks also help you improve your ball position. A poor ball position can cause bad habits to form. Alignment sticks help you establish a baseline and find the ball in your stance. Place two alignment sticks parallel to one another, and position the ball where the two sticks meet. When hitting the ball, leave room between the sticks. The alignment stick will tell you whether you’re positioned properly.
Once you’ve established the alignment stick in your stance, lay it out parallel to the ball. Make sure that you have enough room to walk behind it, and you can swing through the alignment sticks without having to adjust your aim. Once you have lined up the sticks, hit a shot along the guided line, watch it closely, and make any necessary corrections. You’ll be surprised at how accurate you’ll be!
Alignment sticks are useful for many drills on the driving range. If you’re a master golfer, you’ll probably see an alignment stick in action at the Masters. It helps you learn to get the right angle and swing away from the ball while still focusing on the proper alignment. The alignment sticks can also be useful if you are in the middle of a round, waiting for your group to move.
You can use them to maintain posture
There are several ways to use alignment sticks. Practicing without the use of sticks can lead to bad swing mechanics and other mistakes. In contrast, practicing with alignment sticks will result in significant improvements in your swing. One of the most common ways of using alignment sticks is to place them on the ground. Practicing in this manner is the best way to achieve correct posture. However, it’s not recommended for everyone.
When you play golf, you may also find it useful to use alignment sticks. The correct position of the ball can greatly affect the mechanics of your swing. Consequently, you may develop bad habits. Alignment sticks are great aids for keeping your posture in check. You can place two sticks at the appropriate angle and then place the ball where the two sticks meet. These sticks will help you maintain good posture and avoid bad habits.
Once you have learned how to properly use alignment sticks, you can start using them for practice drills. Start by laying out two sticks outside your feet. Make sure that one of the sticks is aimed at the ball, while the other is aimed at the ground. If you’re still a beginner, you can try using the sticks as a reference when practicing your swing. By keeping these alignment sticks parallel to your body, you will avoid twisting your shoulders, forearms, and hips, all of which can negatively impact your ball flight.
Another way to use alignment sticks is to hit a golf ball with the alignment stick on the inside of your arm. It should be level with the middle of your front foot. While hitting the ball with the alignment stick, keep your back leg straight and avoid hitting the alignment stick with your toes. Keeping your posture straight is the best way to improve your golf swing. It will also help you improve your overall posture. | <urn:uuid:fbd3052a-dd68-4ceb-ac95-b882df967a87> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://golfingschools.com/how-to-use-alignment-sticks-to-improve-your-golf-stance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573118.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817213446-20220818003446-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.932459 | 1,985 | 2.28125 | 2 |
When University of Texas Law School student Cody Wilson published a YouTube video last month of an AR-15 he’d made with the assistance of a 3D-printer, Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) sprang into action. He announced new legislation (actually a reauthorization of the 1988 Undectable Firearms Act, which expires at the end of the year) that he said would “stop so-called ‘wiki-weapons.'” As I reported at the time, Wilson’s response was fairly understated. He believed his plan to make and test guns made with printed plastic parts—and then post all of the instructions online—was legally sound, and had no intention of backing down.
Last week, Wilson published a new video. This time, his AR-15 is outfitted with a different printed plastic component—a 30-round magazine, the same kind President Obama proposed outlawing in his new gun control package. Take a look:
Israel’s response: ban plastic magazines too. Wilson’s response:

Main Line Alteration — Smart Work at Frankton Junction
Main Line Alteration
Smart Work at Frankton Junction
In connection with the improvements and enlargement of the Frankton Junction railway station it was recently necessary to put in a new “scissors” crossing 180 feet in length, and weighing 50 tons, on the main line at the north end of the station.
In order to expedite the work, the “scissors” crossing was built alongside the main line where it was to be put in. Skids were placed under it and the ballast pulled out between the sleepers where the line was to be broken and everything prepared so that the job could be rushed directly the 2.30 p.m. Frankton-Auckland train cleared tablet at 2.40 p.m. A seven-ton steam crane was used to pull the crossing over from the middle, and double purchase blocks were used at each end of the crossing. Directly the track had been broken and cleared for the reception of the crossing it was pulled into position, the actual time taken to join up at each end being 20 minutes. Then the skids and packing had to be removed. This took longer on account of the lifting and awkwardness of the work, nevertheless, it was done within 30 minutes, making 50 minutes in getting the crossing into position so that it could be used. Packing of the sleepers had to be done afterwards, but there was no occasion to hold up the passage of trains and for all practical purposes the job was put through in 50 minutes.
There were 2 gangs engaged consisting of 30 men in charge of Ganger C. Chapman. Mr George Rayson, Inspector of Permanent Way supervised the work.
Mr. W. T. Langbein, Assistant District Engineer in charge of the yard alterations at Frankton Junction, and Mr. R. A. Abel, Signal Inspector, were present. The work went with a swing and the change over reflected credit on the organisation of the responsible officers and the efficiency of the men under them.

The other day, I had a period 4 prep. It’s only one day in a five day cycle, where due to the timing of my prep, I will be re-entering play when I return. This period 4 prep is an interesting one, as my teaching partner, Paula, is also on her lunch during this time, so we’re both walking back into the classroom in the midst of play. It was during the last period 4 prep time that I realized how much Self-Reg plays into this day.
As part of our COVID protocols and to support educators in building their own connections with kids, we’ve been asked to leave our classrooms during our prep time. This totally makes sense to me. The one available room during this time is the staffroom, so I go to sit in there and work. The other day, I went to leave the staffroom about 5-10 minutes before the end of my prep. A couple of colleagues that were in the room at the time, and one teacher asked me where I was going: with almost every place in the school being used, there were limited options. I mentioned that I was going to “stand outside of the classroom.” Why? This is when I replied to the teacher with, “It’s part of my Self-Reg plan.” She wasn’t sure what I was talking about, so I explained.
Walking back into play is not an easy thing to do, especially when you’re not there to see it evolve. Did children just begin with these materials? Have they been using them for a while? How are they interacting with others? What might they do next, and how might we extend their play as part of this “next?” The urge to intervene and interrupt play is huge at this point, as every educator has a slightly different tolerance for noise and movement, even within our COVID restrictions. But sometimes we need to get a feel for the play instead of interrupting it, and sometimes if will resettle nicely with just a little bit of time. This is why I need to prepare myself for what to expect. I know that I quickly feel overwhelmed if I attempt to prepare myself in the midst of the play. Then my dysregulation can cause kids to be dysregulated, and this quickly becomes a vicious cycle. So I stand near the door and I watch. Occasionally kids notice me, but usually they don’t. Usually I can use these few minutes of time to observe, to breathe, and to develop a little game plan in my head, which makes me feel a whole lot better when opening the door.
My Door View From A Previous Class
This approach doesn’t work for Paula. She usually goes home for her lunch, so she returns at a different time, and comes right into the classroom. But in her own way, she also takes the time to take in the classroom. She tends to go and sit at the back of the room or over at the side on the counter space and just listen and watch. It’s her “door time,” but in the midst of the room, and it also helps her decompress, observe, and figure out what to do and where to begin.
If nothing else, this door time reminds me that Self-Reg is not just for kids. Sometimes as adults, being even more intune with our stressors, not only helps increase our calm, but lend our calm to others. Do you have a “door strategy,” and what is it? Just as children do not always transition well on a bell, neither do adults. | <urn:uuid:73a9fc15-0013-4b08-ab3f-ab3c31aa2853> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://self-reg.ca/my-doorway-view-a-self-reg-strategy-that-works-for-me/page/2/?et_blog | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.980686 | 756 | 2.296875 | 2 |
“I need to do something to keep myself busy, and to make the tears stop, even just for a little bit.” This was the thought that ran through my head over and over again. My friend Nicole was being treated at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for breast cancer, and she had just received devastating news from her doctor: the cancer had spread, and Nicole needed to begin hospice care.
I felt like the world was turning upside down, and I needed to feel more in control. My immediate thought was to fundraise on Nicole’s behalf. Supporting the critical research conducted by the brightest scientific minds at Dana-Farber would provide a small sense of control. I got the ball rolling to raise funds.
As a Dana-Farber employee, I was very familiar with Dana-Farber’s Gene Display. Located in Dana-Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care, the display represents the real genetic information that researchers are using to develop cancer treatments. From a personal standpoint, I had always felt comforted by the display’s warm pink lights and the hundreds of people that had named genes to honor loved ones. It was a natural fit to launch fundraising efforts to take a stand against Nicole’s breast cancer. I created a Giving Page (an online fundraising web page) personalized it with Nicole’s story and our goal to raise $5,000, and sent an email with the Giving Page link to every person I knew on November 18, 2014. What happened next was extraordinary.
Nearly 100 people made gifts to Nicole’s fundraising page. On November 20, we hit our $5,000 goal. Collectively, we felt reassured knowing we were doing something special to honor Nicole during a time when she was struggling. Nicole was clear about what she wanted her gene to say – “Grateful for all the support. Let’s strive for a cure. Never give up!” Plans were quickly put in motion to install Nicole’s gene.
While we were planning for Nicole’s gene installation, gifts continued to flow, so we increased our goal to $8,000, and decided to name both a gene and a zebrafish for her. Dana-Farber’s Zebrafish Display is an amazing interactive display that is lit to look like the ocean tide, and it symbolizes the importance of zebrafish to the future of cancer research and treatment. Zebrafish and humans share many of the same genes, so zebrafish are vital to Dana-Farber researchers as they develop innovative treatments and therapies to save lives. The display features a large school of fish where you can name a fish and include a message that appears on a digital screen when the fish is touched. Nicole loved the idea of naming both, so I sent out another email to everyone I knew, and within days we hit the $8,000 mark. Our girl was smiling from ear to ear, and she felt so loved and supported.
Nicole’s gene was installed November 26, 2014. She wasn’t strong enough to make the trip to Yawkey, so I took video and photos of the gene and sent them to her. She was so proud to see her name on the wall, and be a part of such an extraordinary fundraising effort. She passed away two weeks later on December 10, 2014. Her zebrafish was installed in early February 2015, and bears the beautiful message “Always in our hearts, we will continue to fight for a cure.”
Bringing Nicole’s family and friends together to name her gene and zebrafish was empowering, and in some ways therapeutic. Keeping Nicole’s generous spirit alive is so important to all of us, and knowing that the funds we raised will help fuel cancer research projects, now and in the future, helps the healing process.
I visit Nicole’s gene and zebrafish often to feel connected to her. Some visits are more emotional than others as my heart is still coping with Nicole being taken from us far too soon. Every time I see her gene and her zebrafish I can hear her laugh and see her smile, and I know she’d be so proud of our dedication to Dana-Farber’s mission.
We miss and love you so much, darling girl.

Planetary accretion from planetesimals to protoplanets is investigated using three-dimensional N-body simulations. The effect of gas drag due to solar nebula is included and realistic-sized planetesimals with a standard material density are used, with which the growth time scale of planetesimals is realistic. In agreement with the earlier works (E. Kokubo and S. Ida 1996, Icarus123, 180-191; 1998, Icarus131, 171-178) that investigated gas-free accretion of planetesimals with enlarged sizes, it is found that a bimodal protoplanet-planetesimal system is formed through runaway and oligarchic growth. In the intermediate accretion stage, the growth mode of planetesimals is runaway growth where the mass distribution relaxes into isolated runaway bodies and the continuous power-law mass distribution with dnc/ dm∝ mα, where nc is the cumulative number of bodies and α≃-2.5. While thinning out some runaway bodies, the growth mode shifts to oligarchic growth where larger protoplanets tend to grow more slowly than smaller ones. The orbital separations of the protoplanets are kept wider than about 5 Hill radii of the protoplanets through orbital repulsion. In the late accretion stage, similar-sized protoplanets grow, while most planetesimals remain small. Protoplanets with mass 10 26 g are formed at 1 AU in 500,000 years. | <urn:uuid:41a413e9-ed69-4154-a384-5103030a5a05> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2000Icar..143...15K/abstract | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.901717 | 316 | 2.734375 | 3 |
As Picasso said: ‘It took me a lifetime to Paint Like a Child’.
Raw Drawing is not an art class — it is a unique philosophy and a practical resource that teaches you how to draw spontaneously and creatively without any inhibition. Learn how to use signs, lines and shapes to create a new visual language. It’s a non-judgmental technique to help you visualize your thoughts, express your emotions, develop your ideas and, why not, relax with a pen or pencil.
Since he launched the Raw Drawing initiative in 2017, Italian artist Alessandro Bonaccorsi has given dozens of courses across Italy, helping people expand their creativity. This book brings together all of Alessandro’s core teachings, making the power and creativity of raw drawing accessible to everyone. The book is recommended for those over 14 years of age, who are open to let themselves become children again and draw with a carefree mind.
Use Raw Drawing to get closer to the heart of things, and learn to appreciate the beauty of the spontaneous. | <urn:uuid:236437f9-28c7-4f2f-b755-bcc9f019c7b2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://walterfoster.com/more-quarto-book/raw-drawing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.930675 | 221 | 1.90625 | 2 |
IRI Unveils Its New Generation of Climate Forecasts
This spring, IRI implemented a new methodology for our seasonal temperature and precipitation forecasts around the world. We asked Simon Mason, Andrew Robertson and Tony Barnston, three of our senior climate scientists who lead the development and tailoring of IRI’s forecasts, to answer some fundamental questions about the new forecast. If you use our forecasts and have further questions, or if you have feedback about the new forecasts, please send an email to ude.aibmuloc.irinull@ofni.
Why is there a new forecast?
Simon Mason: When the IRI started making forecasts in the 1990s it used climate models that represented only the atmosphere. More sophisticated models that included the oceans were available, but these models could not easily generate more than a short history of forecasts (called “hindcasts” — see sidebar) because of poor data availability for the oceans. We needed data from these hindcasts to cover a longer period of time to develop an accurate assessment of how well these models work and what corrections might be needed to produce a reliable forecast. Two decades on, these “coupled models” — the ones that include ocean and atmosphere — can now generate a sufficient history of hindcasts. The models have also undergone improvements, and are now routinely used in operations by most global forecasting centres, including NOAA’s North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) project.
Climate Science Explained: Simon Mason on Hindcasts
When we make forecasts, by definition they are about the future. However, because the models we use to predict the future are imperfect, it is valuable to have many previous forecasts so we can see whether the models consistently predict too much rain, for example, and then make corrections.
When we get a new climate model we cannot afford to wait years and years until it has made lots of forecasts, so we make a pretend set of forecasts instead. For example, we pretend that it is May 1981 (or as far back into the past as possible), and without using any data after May 1981 we then make a forecast for the next few months. Next we pretend it is May 1982, and make another “forecast”, repeating this process right up until last year. These pretend “forecasts” are called “hindcasts”.
If we start too far back into the past then there may not be enough historical data to make a reasonable, comparable forecast, so we have to balance generating many hindcasts that extend far back into the past against generating a smaller number of hindcasts that will be of similar skill to the real forecasts that we wish to make.
Andrew Robertson: Until a few years ago, data from an ensemble of coupled forecast models were not easily and freely accessible in real time, both because of data policy restrictions at the various global forecasting centers, as well as the lack of coordinated data infrastructure to share the data. For the first time, NOAA’s NMME project has made real-time and hindcasts from up to nine coupled models from US institutions (NCEP, NASA, GFDL, NCAR, COLA/University of Miami) and Environment and Climate Change Canada freely available through the IRI Data Library. This makes it straightforward for us to now base our forecast on the output of these NMME models. And, due to funding decreases, IRI was no longer able to run the older atmospheric global climate models in-house as it previously could.
SM: While the IRI no longer has the funding to run climate models in-house, we are able to set up a fully automated forecasting system that takes advantage of the coupled model forecasts from the NMME project, as well as the two decades of experience IRI has in generating forecasts from such systems.
Has the method of creating the forecast changed, and would that affect how the forecast can or should be used?
SM: There are two categories of changes in the methodology of the new forecasts — we are using new climate models, and we are using new methods to turn those model outputs into reliable forecasts.
The new climate models represent the climate systems better than the old ones did, but the basic principles of how those models work are unchanged – or, if you prefer, the physical basis for making the seasonal forecasts remains the same. The new forecast methodology is designed to make corrections to the climate models based on their ability to predict previous years accurately. We are also producing information with more spatial detail than before.
In principle there should be no reason to change how or when the new forecasts are used, because in both the new methodology and in the old, the forecasts were made to be taken at face value – i.e., the probabilities are supposed to give a reliable indication of what the season will be like.
AR: For those who would like more information about our new methodology, we’ve put together a page here.
Can we make comparisons with old forecasts? For example comparing forecasts from moderate El Niño event years to this year’s forecast?
SM: To be clear, there has been no change in the El Niño and La Niña (or ENSO) forecast products, it is only our rainfall and temperature forecasts that have been modified. But, in terms of comparing the rainfall and temperature forecasts — as I mentioned in the earlier question about whether the forecast can still be used in the same way, the forecasts are meant to be taken at face value. So if this year the forecast indicates a stronger probability than in previous years, then that does reflect greater confidence.
But what we cannot conclude is that the impact is likely to be stronger. For example, if there is a 60% probability of above-normal rainfall during moderate El Nino conditions in our new system, and only a 50% probability during similar conditions with the old system, then we are indeed more confident that above-normal rainfall will occur; but it is invalid to conclude that we think there will be more rainfall than in previous years with moderate El Nino conditions.
Tony Barnston: It’s true that our ENSO forecast materials have not changed. But the ENSO forecasts (in fact, forecasts of the entire sea-surface temperature field) used in the process of making the climate forecasts have now changed, and likely for the better, since they are based on the eight or so state-of-the-art coupled models instead of on just three models, one of which was statistical and one of which was a simplified dynamical model that covered only the tropical Pacific Ocean. So, only one of the sea-surface temperature forecast models used to be state-of-the-art, while now all of them are.
Why does the forecast look different?
AR: The new models run at a higher spatial resolution. They are at about 1-degree latitude-longitude resolution (i.e. about 100km), compared to about 2.8 degrees for the old ones (i.e. about 300 km), so we are providing the forecasts at 1-degree resolution, compared to 2.5 degrees before.
What are the implications of the higher resolution for a user?
AR: The improved resolution may or may not translate into more skill on smaller scales. We have noticed that the forecast maps sometimes look noisier at small scale, and the user should be aware of it. We are looking into improving our post-processing calibration method to reduce the noise.
Does this affect any IRI products other than the standard, tercile-based seasonal forecasts?
Is it more accurate than the old forecast?
AR: The answer to this question is not as simple as it may sound. There are many measures of forecast skill, and the old and new systems are different which makes them difficult to compare directly. We expect the new system to be at least as good because it is based on a newer generation of models and forecast initialization methods. We are in the process of fully verifying the new system to provide as full an answer to this question as possible.
TB: With the exception of the above-normal temperatures, the new forecast output has more areas that are not the climatology forecast (i.e., more colored areas on the maps; the models “have more to say”) than the old forecast output, and this greater sensitivity presumably reflects higher accuracy, but confirmation of this will come with our verification now in progress. With regard to the probabilities for above-normal temperature, we’re investigating whether the new forecasts underestimate the tilt toward above-normal due to the models’ possibly inadequate sensitivity to CO2 increases.
As you were developing the new forecasts, did needs/input from users play a role?
SM: The most important and the most difficult question!
There are many reasons why IRI started making seasonal forecasts in the late 1990s. In part it was a response to the 1997/98 El Niño, which was expected to have major impacts around the globe. Although that is only 20 years ago, there were very few countries and centers producing seasonal forecast information at that time – which perhaps shows how far we have come in the last two decades. At that stage the climate community had a very poor awareness of potential users of seasonal forecasts, but we could at least advise many of the national meteorological services, which may have their own communication channels. So, during the late-1990s and early 2000s our main dissemination channel was to attempt to inform governments via these meteorological services. In addition, as countries and regional and global climate centers started to produce their own forecasts we wanted to provide a good example that could be emulated and adapted as appropriate.
However, as the IRI’s Applications Research Division (as it was then called) and the broader climate service community began to develop experience in identifying and working with user communities, our forecasts have become of interest to an expanding range of users. In some cases we have worked directly with such communities to co-develop tailored seasonal forecast information. This tailored information is presented in custom-designed Maprooms, examples of which include those for the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the World Food Program (WFP).
When the new forecasts were redesigned, we took into account inputs from some of our main partners, such as the IFRC and WFP, and also from some of the many Meteorological Services around the world that consult our products. Of course, everybody has been requesting higher levels of certainty in the forecasts (which translates to more and deeper colours on the maps), and using the state-of-the-science climate models should help with that objective. Many users have also been requesting more detailed spatial information, which we have addressed in the new forecast too, although for some applications – especially those concerned with flooding – less spatial information may provide better quality information. In such cases, forecast tailoring is required – the development of customized products such as those in some of our Maprooms. We hope to work with our partners and other potential users to explore what works best for them.
Each time we make a forecast we do not think about how specific users will respond to the information. In fact, it is important not to, because otherwise we end up hedging the forecast. It is important for the forecaster to communicate what (s)he thinks will happen, rather than thinking about how to affect the users’ responses. Holding such a detached attitude, however, is a very different question to that of how to communicate a forecast so that it facilitates users’ decisions. That interaction is important for ensuring that the forecast is clearly understood and provides relevant information. | <urn:uuid:7d44d58e-d10d-4c49-b6b4-8c857d557c7d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://iri.columbia.edu/news/iri-unveils-its-new-generation-of-climate-forecasts/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.960935 | 2,398 | 2.4375 | 2 |
Owning a pet bird can be a lot of fun, but are also a big responsibility as they are totally dependent on their human owners. There are many species of pet birds and choosing the one best suited to you and your circumstances is very important.
Parrots are often the first birds that spring to mind when you think of pet birds. The types of bird that are included under the group name of parrots are: parrots, cockatoos, amazons, macaws, conures, lovebirds, parakeets, cockatiels and budgerigars. Many of the parrot species make interesting pets due to their ability to mimic speech. They are very intelligent and will amaze you with the size of their vocabulary and the tricks that they are able to master. The parrot group make lovely, affectionate pets with strong personalities. The different parrot species have the most splendid coloration. This, along with their fun personalities, makes them wonderful pet birds.
Some of the larger parrot species are quite expensive and therefore owners may wish to take out pet bird insurance. Pet bird insurance will cover death due to illness or accident, theft of the bird, public liabilities and equipment related to the bird, obviously depending on the type of insurance you select.
Finches are also popular pet birds. They come in many varieties and their lovely colors will complement any aviary. The most beautiful is the Gouldian finch, with its bright colors. You will gain much pleasure from watching these sweet little birds flitting around their enclosure. Canaries are also much loved pets due to their beautiful song and also come in many varieties.
Another group of pet birds are the softbills, which do well when kept in large aviaries. These include the white-eyes, touracos, robins, and mynahs.
People on plots may own pet chickens, geese, ducks and even peacocks. Pet chickens are often used to produce eggs, however their owners form quite an attachment to them and they are unlikely to land up on the dinner table.
It is best to carefully research the species you are interested in before purchasing it so as to make sure that you will be able to meet its needs. Visit your local pet shop where staff are likely to be able to advise you, while supplying you with the necessary equipment and food to keep your pet bird healthy and happy. | <urn:uuid:54cab47e-783d-4586-9370-4e9dd5b67d2c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.birds.com/species/classifications/pet-birds/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.976576 | 490 | 1.929688 | 2 |
21 August Attack : A close shave
By Partha Pratim Bhattacharjee and Wasim Bin Habib
The day before August 21, 2004, Dhaka city Awami League leaders had an informal meeting with party chief Sheikh Hasina for her directives on the next day’s rally.
At the end of the meeting, Hasina, in a lighter vein, asked her party leaders to get a big truck so that most of her senior leaders could stand on it.
“Get a table in front of me at the edge of the truck so that no one would fall from the truck should there is any shoving and pushing from behind,” Hasina said, laughing.
Never in their wildest dreams did the party leaders imagine that the small table, brought from the Jubo League office, would serve as a temporary shield to protect their party president when grenades would start raining down by the truck on the fateful afternoon of August 21. But that’s exactly what the small table did.
The place at the heart of the capital turned out to be a scene of chaos, smokes, screams, and confusion, resembling a set for a war movie. Disjointed limbs and bloody bodies littered everywhere, with sobs of people and mayhem echoing the place.
The grisly grenade attack left 24 people, including Ivy Rahman, wife of late president Zillur Rahman, dead and more than 300 others injured. Hasina, then Leader of the Opposition, narrowly escaped the attack, but suffered damage in her right ear. Attackers left the spot without a problem, reportedly with the help of the the law enforcement agencies.
The BNP-led four-party coalition was in power. After the attack, Hasina held the government responsible, saying it was a government-sponsored attempt to kill her. She demanded an investigation involving the international community.
Moments before the attack, the scene at the AL central office on Bangabandhu Avenue was different. The place was teeming with party leaders, activists, workers and supporters in the sultry and humid August afternoon. Glistened with sweat, they were all listening to Hasina speaking from the truck, holding a microphone. Senior leaders and security personnel were also on the truck, which was used as a makeshift dais.
As Hasina was about to close her speech, an explosion occurred at 5:22pm, turning the venue into a ghastly scene of bloody carnage in seconds. “There was a loud boom all of a sudden. We heard two more explosions in quick successions,” said AL leader Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, as he recounted the fateful evening and the events leading to and following the day to The Daily Star recently. “Apa [Hasina] took two steps backward. We ducked her beneath the table as a cover,” he recalled.
Mohammad Hanif, late Dhaka mayor; Squadron Leader (retd) Abdullah Al Mamun, a member of Hasina’s personal security team; Nazib Ahmed, a cousin of Hasina; and Maya, the then general secretary of Dhaka City Unit AL created a human shield to save Hasina.
“It [creating the shield] was nobody’s decision in particular. We just followed our instinct to save Apa. So that the bullets hit us, not her,” said Maya, now minister for disaster management and relief ministry.
Echoing him, Nazib Ahmed said the human shield had been in place for three-four minutes.
“When it appeared that she [Hasina] was the target, we encircled her. Nobody gave any instructions about this to anyone. What we had in our mind was to save her at the cost of our lives,” said Nazib, a cousin of Hasina.
Hasina was praying herself and asked them all to do the same, he recalled.
“If we are to die, we’ll die here; if we are to survive, we’ll survive this way,” said Nazib, quoting Hasina.
Both Maya and Nazib said moving the AL chief to safety was the only thing on their mind. They started getting off the truck as the place went quiet for a while, they said.
Maj (retd) Shoyeb Mohammad Tariqullah, another security staff, and Maj Gen (retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique, the then chief of Hasina’s personal security wing, were also there.
Together, they decided to get Hasina in her bulletproof sports utility vehicle (SUV), parked around 50 yards from the truck, at any cost. As they took only a few steps, another grenade went off near the truck. They moved back a little, said Nazib. Just then Shoyeb asked others to leave the truck immediately as the fuel tank got leaked and fuel was dripping.
Immediately, they got down from the truck and managed to take Hasina to the SUV. Maj Mamun ran to the vehicle and opened its left door. Hasina huddled inside it. Nazib, Tarique, Shoyeb, Mamun and Maya followed.
Just then Hasina saw the ghastly scenes.
Some of the injured lay on the street bleeding profusely while some groaned sitting on congealed blood and some motionless bodies lay scattered. Seeing the grisly scenes, Hasina wanted to get off her vehicle, said Maya.
“My party activists are lying around this way. Where are you taking me in this situation?” he quoted the AL chief as saying. “We replied that let us take you to safety first. Then we will take care of the matter,” said the minister.
They asked Hasina’s personal driver Abdul Matin to start the vehicle. But the SUV came under a gun attack. Two bullets hit the left window, by which Hasina was sitting. The front and rear wheels on the left side got punctured by bullets. Still the vehicle moved on, took a left turn to Zero Point and sped away.
The vehicle reached Sudha Sadan, Hasina’s personal residence at Dhanmondi-5, around 6:00pm.
“Inside the vehicle, she cried and prayed. But she again wanted to know about the party leaders and activists,” Maya recalled. “She even demanded that we take her back to Bangabandhu Avenue,” he said.

For the first time, the Committee on Civil Liberty, Justice and Home Affairs held a discussion on language rights in the European Parliament. To date, the issue of language had only been discussed in the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture.
The initiative was brought forward by Valencian MEP Marina Albiol with the support of other Catalan-speaking members of parliament including Josep Maria Terricabras, Ernest Urtasun, Francesc Gambús, Ramon Tremosa, Jordi Sebastià and Ernest Maragall. The MEPs attending today's debate were also joined by a representative from Plataforma per la Llengua (Platform for Language), a Barcelona-based NGO set up to defend the rights of Catalan-speakers in Spain.
The Chair of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Claude Moraes, defended the need to conduct this debate, stating that it was “absolutely adequate to address this issue” in a committee that is responsible for discussing “all kinds of discrimination” including “linguistic discrimination", he added. According to Moraes, it is “a highly sensitive, passionate debate", where the EU’s legislative branch has "the power to address the issue”. Moreover, the British MEP asserted that it is “necessary for the European Parliament and for the Commission to study it in detail”.
In the opening of the discussion, Davyth Hicks, the secretary-general of ELEN (European Language Equality Network), gave a brief presentation on the situation of linguistic rights in Europe with a special focus on the Catalan case. Hicks also used an updated report by Plataforma per la Llengua that documented a series of violations of linguistic rights in Catalonia. The presentation was followed by a speech by a representative from the Directorate-General of Justice of the European Commission. The floor was then open to various MEPs, including Marina Albiol, Josep Maria Terricabras, Ramon Tremosa and Jordi Sebastià, who discussed the issue further.
New report by Plataforma per la Llengua
As a member of ELEN, Plataforma per la Llengua provided the MEPs with a summary of five cases of linguistic discrimination across five different areas (public administration, custody of children, police, justice and the health sector). On Monday, the organisation was able to deliver an updated report, entitled “If you speak in Catalan to me, this trial is over” to the MEPs, which included thirty-seven new cases of serious linguistic discrimination, which the NGO considered to be clear violations of language rights. What is more, these new cases were already in addition to the fifty collected in the previous report “En español o nada" (In Spanish or nothing). | <urn:uuid:0326ce58-bee4-4478-9228-a006774dc5d3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://catalangovernment.eu/catalangovernment/news/291550/common-front-against-language-discrimination-in-the-european-parliament-s-justice-committee | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.942926 | 583 | 1.765625 | 2 |

Earlier this year, under the hashtag #readwomen2014, a small movement of bookish Twitter users said that this would be the year they only read women. Sure, it’s a little extreme, but I can’t knock anyone for wanting to bring more attention to female authors.
Still, I found the recommendations to be a bit predictable and somewhat homogenous. Does the work of Edith Wharton really need more advocates? If there are women that deserve our literary attention, it’s the talented young novelists whose books represent the most ambitious and daring novels being published today.
Helen Oyeyemi’s Boy, Snow, Bird is a rare contemporary novel that’s not afraid to confront race. It’s also the rare novel that isn’t heavy-handed or humorless while doing it. The book opens in the ’50s, where Boy Novak runs away from New York to a small town in Massachusetts to escape an abusive parent. She meets a widower named Arturo, but when they have a dark-skinned daughter together, she discovers that Arturo’s family has been passing for white. Boy, Snow, Bird is not willing to give easy answers on the morality of passing, but it does deliberate on the notion of beauty and race as things that are perceived. Without giving anything away, the book’s final twist will be divisive. But it’s actually the book’s boldest, most interesting risk. I’m unsure how Boy, Snow, Bird will be looked at in years to come, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s remembered as one of the great passing narratives, one that stands proudly along Nella Larsen’s Passing and Charles W. Chesnutt’s The Marrow of Tradition.
Translated from Spanish, Faces in the Crowd by Valeria Luiselli has a lyrical cadence to it. It moves in hazy, dreamlike moments rather than scenes. (“Not a fragmented novel,” the narrator declares. “A horizontal novel, narrated vertically.”) Two things are happening in parallel: A translator is thinking back to her days in New York, as a young mother watching her marriage deteriorate; she also looks at the work of Mexican poet Gilberto Owen, whose life begins to resemble things closer and closer to her own. The observational structure recalls Renata Adler’s Speedboat, but by the end, when the two stories become interspersed, Faces in the Crowd changes shape entirely. The narrator’s life becomes hard to distinguish from the poet’s, and in Luiselli’s narrative experimentation, we find gravitas in her character’s confusion.
Maggie Shipstead’s Astonish Me spans several decades, realizing the life of a ballerina named Joan. The book opens in the ’70s, in the midst of the Cold War, when Joan’s relationship with a Russian dancer helps him defect to the United States. But their affair ends when it becomes clear that Joan’s talents don’t match those of her lover’s. Astonish Me is thoughtful and carefully observed. It also helps that the world of ballet is endlessly fascinating — a brutal environment that hides jealousies and battered bodies in order to surface something elegant and artful. This same necessity of discipline and pain is one that influences these characters’ lives. Joan’s childhood sweetheart, Jacob, whose affections are at first unrequited, acknowledges that love is an imbalance: “[W]hat he wants is impossible — he wants to change the past, for everything to happen in the right order. He wants them to love each other equally, but he is afraid of what it would be like if they did.” Despite its affairs and drama, Astonish Me is mostly quiet and nuanced; the bittersweet pieces come together in a way that feels less written and more choreographed.
Modern Southern Gothic lit is predominantly written by men — Daniel Woodrell, Ron Rash, Donald Pollock, to name a few of the genre’s best authors. But with her debut, Young God, Katherine Faw Morris shows touches of these Gothic greats with a self-assured voice of her own. In following 13-year-old Nikki, we discover the backwoods of the Carolina hills, a place where drug production, prostitution, and bloodshed all function as territories that need to be claimed and protected. It’s gritty and violent, and through Morris’s flash-fiction trickery, we are shown glimpses of humanity throughout, like breaths of fresh air from Young God’s bleakness. It’s a novel that engages all the senses, and despite its brevity, one that lingers like a bruise.
Almost as dark as Young God is All the Birds, Singing. This haunting second novel by Evie Wyld features a tough heroine, Jake Whyte, who lives on an isolated British island with her sheep and her border collie. The book opens with Jake discovering one of her flock mangled, and each night, she finds another of her sheep mutilated by something sinister. In tandem, the novel also splits its time with flashbacks to Jake’s past in Australia — a different landscape that hides even shadier secrets. Several unnerving tensions run throughout All the Birds, Singing: the question of what’s killing the sheep, the mysteries behind Jake’s exile, and a peripheral maybe-supernatural quality that pervades each of these careful pages. The ending is a bit of an anticlimax. But it’s entirely satisfying, without answering all of those open questions, because it turns out that the external mysteries All the Birds, Singing opens with are not as important as the interior ones it ends with.
It may be a collection of nine stories, but Kseniya Melnik’s debut, Snow in May, has the thematic breadth and cohesion of a novel. Though they move back and forth from past to near-present, these stories all center on the Russian town of Magadan. Some of them take place in other places — Moscow, North Dakota — but they all come back to Magadan, a former gateway to the Gulag, Stalin’s forced labor camps. Melnik unpacks her Russian American heritage, and you can sense she’s writing about a place she cares about while making sense of its dark history through a number of perspectives. In “Love, Italian Style, or in Line for Bananas,” a married woman is tempted by an Italian soccer player; “The Witch” finds a mother taking her daughter to see a mystical healer; “Rumba” is about a dance instructor. The variety results in a portrait of regional character, one marred by past atrocities but lightened by beautifully drawn characters. It’s an impressive thing, the way Melnik is able to evoke so much from a landscape of frozen tundra.
If a vacation is an escape from problems at home, how long can those pressures be buried? For the Post family and their two-week getaway to the island of Mallorca, it turns out not very long. In her clever second novel, The Vacationers, Emma Straub has written something decidedly more accessible, and it seems like a more comfortable fit for her. Still intact are the important things: Few writers can infuse a sentence with as much wit as Straub can. The Post family constantly bickers and pokes at each other’s flaws, and yet every character is handled with such empathy. In fact, the most interesting one is Bobby Post’s girlfriend, Carmen, a personal trainer from Miami who is largely disliked by everyone because she’s not as bookish as the rest of the Manhattanite Post family. Still, Carmen is portrayed with warmth and humanity. The book is propelled by family drama — some funny, some sad, all told with a sense of optimism — making The Vacationers a near-perfect high-brow summer novel.
No one understands the social dynamics of teenage girls better than Megan Abbott. In her past two novels, Dare Me and the underrated The End of Everything, Abbott explored the psychic wounds and adolescent cruelty of middle school and high school girls (think erudite Pretty Little Liars). With The Fever, Abbott’s best work, she places the reader in a sleepy suburb where a group of close friends have all succumbed to a mysterious illness — a sudden seizure followed by intense hospitalization. No one knows what’s causing the sickness, whether it’s infectious, or just how dangerous it is. Abbott plays with our expectations for what the “fever” means — both as a plot and literary device. Is it the reckoning for the sins of these girls’ parents? A metaphor for the loss of sexual innocence? Or some kind of STI? Abbott’s prose has a jagged, stilted quality to it, which might be jarring at first. But settling into The Fever, one realizes that Abbott is setting a rhythm, one that’s measured and paced with the brilliance of one of the best living mystery writers.

Configure TLS/SSL client authentication for Kafka brokers
Kafka supports TLS/SSL authentication (two-way authentication). To enable and configure TLS/SSL client authentication, you need to enable TLS/SSL encryption and set client authentication to be required by the brokers.
TLS/SSL authentication for Kafka brokers can be configured with the SSL Client Authentication property. The property has three valid values, required, requested, and none. If set to required, all clients connecting to the broker will be required to authenticate with TLS/SSL. If set to requested, authentication will be requested by the broker, but clients without certificates will still be able to connect. If set to none, no SSL authentication is required.
|SSL Client Authentication||Client certificate is presented||Client certificate is not presented|
If Ranger is used for authorization, the authenticated user's identity is used to determine what operations the client is authorized to carry out. As a result, you must ensure that policies in Ranger are set up accordingly.
Cloudera does not recommend that you set this property to requested. It is only useful in a limited number of scenarios and provides a false sense of security. Clients that present no certificates or present an invalid certificate will still be able to establish a connection, but will authenticate as ANONYMOUS. Depending on how your cluster is configured, the ANONYMOUS user might not have access to the required Kafka resources. This can lead to client failure.
- In Cloudera Manager, select the Kafka service.
- Go to Configuration.
- Find and configure the SSL Client Authentication property
based on your cluster and requirements.
Cloudera Manager Property Description SSL Client Authentication
Client authentication mode for SSL connections. This configuration has three valid values, required, requested, and none. If set to required, client authentication is required. If set to requested, client authentication is requested and clients without certificates can still connect. If set to none, which is the default value, no client authentication is required
