YOSEMITE, Cali. — As the impacts of climate change continue to worsen, new research by the National Park Service suggests that there are areas of land inside Yosemite National Park which may be naturally protected from warming temperatures, a finding that could be key in helping to protect endangered plants and animals.
Nicole Athearn is the Division Lead for Resources Management and Science at Yosemite National Park in California. She's spent years studying the impacts of climate change on the National Park.
"The more we can learn, the better job we can do at planning for the future," Athearn said.
What they are finding out here in Yosemite could provide a road map for protecting not just National Parks nationwide, but any kind of land being threatened by warming temperatures.
Research is showing that parts of Yosemite National Park are more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Some areas may be more drought-resistant or just be geographically situated in a way that keeps them from direct sunlight, meaning they're less impacted by rising temperatures.
"If we don’t manage these areas these animals and plants will have no place to go," Athearn said.
By being able to identify areas of land that are insulated from climate change, the Park Service can focus more attention on better protecting those insulated pieces of land. Relocating endangered animals like the Sierra Nevada Red Fox can be done more strategically if areas of land are identified as places of refuge from the impacts of global warming.
"If we’re going to protect these species long-term, we need to have a better understanding of how that action is happening and where it’s likely to happen faster or slower," explained Athearn. | <urn:uuid:b108d64e-6aad-4296-98da-6e3d19819f9b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/researchers-find-places-in-yosemite-national-park-naturally-protected-from-climate-change | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945798 | 342 | 3.90625 | 4 |
In recent years advances in Computed Tomography (CT) technology have allowed required radiation doses to be lowered, reducing the exposure risk to patients. Despite this, the age profile of scanners as detailed in the AXREM report suggests that many patients are being scanned on equipment that fails to benefit from the latest dose saving measures. Furthermore, some 110 scanners in the UK are now in excess of 10 years old. (Source: AXREM UK Statistics)
The industry is continuously innovating to develop equipment that optimises levels of radiation whilst maintaining or enhancing the quality of images, as well as increasing the patient throughput. All stakeholders should share this commitment to reducing patient radiation dose and increasing capacity. The benefits to patients and clinicians of renewing the Medical Imaging Technology base are clear and irrefutable.
The European Society of Radiology has recognised the clinical importance of planning for timely replacement of equipment. In 2014, it published a position paper on renewal, stating that; “Equipment less than five years old is state-of-the-art technology. Properly maintained equipment between six and ten years old is suitable for practice, but radiology departments should develop a strategy to replace them. Machines over ten years old must be replaced.”
The issue of ‘technological obsolescence’ can often go unnoticed; it is influenced by an imbalance between the pace of incremental innovation on the one hand and the rate of equipment replacement on the other. Using this as a basis COCIR (the European Trade Association representing the medical imaging, radiotherapy, health ICT and electro-medical industries), drafted a set of pragmatic and prudent ‘Golden Rules’, recommending that an appropriate mix in the age profile of installed equipment is essential for efficient and productive healthcare systems. These rules support evaluation of the medical equipment installed base and aid procurement processes. They take into account the need to balance the benefits of innovation against the obligation to derive maximum value from capital investment.
The Golden Rules are:
- At Least 60% Of The Installed Equipment Base Should Be Less Than Five Years Old.
Medical technology life-cycle averages suggest equipment that is up to five years old adequately reflects the current state of technology with opportunities for economically viable upgrade measures.
- No More Than 30% Of The Installed Equipment Base Should Be Between SixTo Ten Years Old.
Medical technology that is between six and ten years old is still fit for purpose. However, systems replacement strategies should be developed to benefit from efficiency gains afforded by the latest technologies.
- No More Than 10% Of The Age Profile Should Be More Than Ten Years Old.
Medical technology more than ten years old is outdated and challenging to maintain and repair. Compared with current medical guidelines and best practices, it can be considered obsolete or inadequate for conducting some procedures; replacement is essential.
Obsolescent technology is undermining patient safety
Lack of investment has resulted in both an aged installed base and a lower density of scanners per million population compared with other European countries. The continued use of older equipment potentially exposes patients to unnecessary risk. Manufacturers focus on developing more and more sophisticated techniques to reduce the dose of ionising radiation that a patient receives during a CT scan, whilst optimising image quality. Some of these technology developments are inherently only available within the latest generation of scanners. The age profile of scanners within the AXREM report suggests that many patients are being scanned on equipment that fails to benefit from the latest dose saving measures.
Increasingly, rapid incremental innovation offers benefits for a growing and ageing population. However, there is a serious lag in implementation. If we want societal benefits for all patients equally, then all stakeholders must urgently address this delay. AXREM calls upon healthcare providers to focus on dose reduction and optimisation when replacing ageing equipment in order to enhance patient safety.
Why innovation matters
Innovative medical technologies have always been a major driving force for improving healthcare quality. However, such technologies can now provide much more, driving integrated patient-centric care pathways that can improve the efficiency and productivity of healthcare. Investing in innovative products and solutions can improve patient safety and productivity. Each year, engineering and IT advances, coupled with a greater understanding of disease at a molecular level, deliver innovation in medical technology. For the installed base of medical imaging equipment, advances are often incremental, improving current processes while extending the usefulness of medical imaging equipment. These developments often offer clinicians with unprecedented visual and functional information about their patients and facilitate faster, more intelligent diagnostic imaging systems that support decision-making, reduce complexity, improve clinical outcomes, improve health economics and increase productivity.
Since these advances are often incremental, industry offers upgrades that help extend the life of equipment over a defined period. However, as equipment ages, increasing numbers of technical incompatibilities and obsolescence render updates uneconomical, and sometimes no longer possible. Furthermore, such obsolescence can extend to operating system software within the imaging equipment. The ransomware cyber security attack, which impacted a number of NHS Trusts in May 2017, has highlighted security issues associated with networks and operating system software. Older imaging equipment may not be capable of being updated to increase protection against such cyber security attacks.
Computed Tomography (CT)
According to a survey of AXREM member organisations, some 55% of CT scanners in the UK are more than 5 years old, with 12% being over 10 years old. AXREM believes that investment in the installed base should be accelerated to improve patient safety and highlights the significant enhancements in the technological, medical and regulatory areas. These include CT Dose modulation and CT Reiterative reconstruction algorithm technologies, which dramatically reduce the required X-Ray dose. For example, reductions of >50% in paediatric imaging without a loss of diagnostic quality have been published. These software applications, available as upgrades, also improve hospital efficiency, clinical effectiveness and reduce costs.
Dose modulation technologies automatically calculate the optimum tube current for each anatomical area and the real-time current control for the X-Ray tube. Thisensures patients receive the minimum dose necessary; (the ALARA principle – as low as reasonably achievable). Reiterative reconstruction algorithm technologies reproduce higher dose protocol scans using raw low-dose scan data. This reduces the absorbed dose and provides higher quality images for the same exposure.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The Clinical Imaging Board published its own report on MRI scanners in the NHS in April 2017. According to a survey conducted across the NHS (which represented 42% of the UK install base of MRI systems), some 56% of systems were over 5 years old and 29% were more than 10 years old. This compares with AXREM's own 2016 survey which suggests across the total installed base that 54% of systems are over 5 years old with some 20% being over 10 years old. AXREM commends the Clinical Imaging Board report findings and recommendations.
Addressing the financial challenge of implementing innovations
Innovative imaging technology offers a real opportunity to improve clinical care and patient safety. Furthermore it can support operational efficiency improvements. The drivers of change are universal, including increased efficiencies, increased access and improved clinical outcomes. However, adapting funding mechanisms will also be fundamentally important. All too often short-term financing constraints and silo budgeting can compromise early adoption of new technologies. Many purchasing decisions are dominated by capital price criteria, and can fail to consider the wider ‘incremental value’ that new technologies provide.
Acknowledging the capital funding barriers that often prevail within the NHS, equipment suppliers and third parties offer a range of new business models to facilitate adoption of new technologies. These include Leasing, Managed Equipment Services, and a variety of rental and usage based tariff solutions. These can shift funding from capital expenditure to a more predictable operational expenditure, whilst also including an element of risk-sharing. This arguably provides the variety of financial platforms to allow innovative solutions to reach more patients. Given appropriate contracting and investment, more hospitals and patients in the UK will benefit from greater efficiencies and improved outcomes afforded by ongoing advances in medical technology. | <urn:uuid:673173b0-b2df-4053-89e0-3c29cd09febf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/a-worrying-age-increase-of-imaging-equipment.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.936758 | 1,646 | 2.96875 | 3 |
7. Wrong: While Mary undoubtedly considered Elizabeth to be her inferior, the Queen of Scotland would never have expressed this belief directly to her English cousin
In the climatic face-to-face meeting between Mary and Elizabeth in Mary, Queen of Scots, the dethroned Scottish Queen denounced her English cousin’s criticisms. Responding that she would not be “scolded by her inferior”, moving beyond the already considered historical reality that the pair never, in fact, met in person, Mary’s behavior in this scene would never have transpired in real life. Not only was Elizabeth at this time Mary’s salvation, fleeing from imprisonment in Scotland and hoping the English Queen might assist her in reclaiming her lost crown and child, but Mary would have felt no need to explicitly state something so impolitely which she believed to be true.
However, that Mary did indeed regard herself as Elizabeth’s better is incontrovertibly accurate. Along with the bulk of her Catholic contemporaries across Europe, Mary was considered the rightful ruler of England due to Elizabeth’s heretical Protestantism, as well as a treasonous mother, invalidating her claim. Mary repeatedly sought to contest the throne of England, strongly opposing the Treaty of Edinburgh in 1560 – which declared Elizabeth the official monarch and denied Mary the right to use the arms of signs of England and Ireland in her heraldry – successfully blocking its ratification.
6. Correct: Although not believed to have been intimately involved with David Rizzio, Mary’s second husband, Lord Darnley, is suspected of having relationships with other men
Departing London on February 3, 1565, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, presented himself before Mary on February 17 at Wemyss Castle. Instantly besotted with the Englishman, the pair were within days inseparable from one another’s company. Mary’s half-first-cousin via two different marriages by their grandmother, Margaret Tudor, consequently placing both Darnley and Mary prominently in the line of succession for the English crown, the couple were married on July 29, 1565. In advance of the wedding, Elizabeth commanded in vain Darnely, one of her subjects, to return to England in an attempt to prevent the union against her.
As accurately portrayed in Mary, Queen of Scots, Darnley and Mary’s relationship quickly soured following their nuptials. Arrogant and prone to excessive drinking, Darnley was an unpleasant husband who grew immensely jealous of his wife’s companions, especially David Rizzio. Despite his own extramarital relations with women, habitual chasing after others even once married, historical evidence suggests Darnley equally engaged in same-sex relations. Of particular note, and overlooked by the film in favor of a fictional relationship with Rizzio himself, Darnley’s close friendship with Don Francisco de Alava has come under modern scrutiny, with the pair described as “intimate” and enjoyed prolonged overseas trips together.
5. Wrong: Whilst Mary did indeed flee Scotland after being forced to abdicate in favor of her infant son, James Stuart, the former Queen of Scotland was imprisoned for a year before she could actually escape to England
As represented accurately in Mary, Queen of Scots, in the aftermath of the death of Mary’s second husband, Lord Darnley, the Scottish Queen sought to quickly remarry a member of the nobility believing it would shore up her claim. Overlooked by the cinematic production was that her protector, James Hepburn, Lord Bothwell, abducted Mary on April 24, 1567, likely raping her at Dunbar Castle, before forcibly marrying the widowed monarch at Holyrood on May 15. Prompting outrage among the wider nobility, with the public scandalized by their ruler marrying the very man accused of murdering her former husband, a coalition formed to remove Mary from the throne.
Confronting her enemies at Carberry Hill, her army deserted during negotiations leaving Mary no option but to abdicate the crown in favor of her one-year-old son on July 24. However, whereas Mary, Queen of Scots, largely for the sake of narrative pace, depicts Mary immediately departing into exile in England, in reality the former monarch was imprisoned at Loch Leven Castle for more than a year. Escaping on May 2, 1568, Mary raised an army of six thousand but was defeated at the Battle of Langside eleven days later. Only after this loss did Mary flee across the border, entering via fishing boat, in the hope her cousin would provide military assistance.
4. Correct: Mary’s second husband and royal consort, Lord Darnley, was murdered in bizarre circumstances, with his body discovered outdoors after an explosion hit Kirk O’ Field in 1567
Approximately eight months after the birth of Mary’s son James, on February 10, 1567, his father, Lord Darnley, suddenly died at Kirk o’ Field, Edinburgh, where the royal consort had been staying. Brought back by Mary after a period of estrangement to recover from an illness, claimed at the time to be smallpox but more recently speculated to have been syphilis, around two in the morning on the night of the tenth an explosion rocked the foundations of Kirk o’ Field. The product of two barrels of gunpowder placed in a room beneath Darnley’s sleeping quarters, the assassination failed to immediately claim the life of Darnley.
Miraculously surviving by reasons unknown, lying in just a nightshirt Darnley’s body, alongside that of his valet, William Taylor, were found in a nearby orchard. Although official post-mortems claimed the explosion had taken his life, speculation circulated, including by surgeons who examined the body, that the consort had been strangled. Depicting the latter cause of death explicitly, Mary, Queen of Scots carefully treads the line of historical accuracy by strongly implying, but never explicitly stating, whether or not Mary herself was responsible for the murder. Never admitting wrongdoing, and denying it throughout her life, either way, Mary mourned little for her husband’s death.
3. Correct: Expressing accurately the difficulty placed upon Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen was nevertheless compelled to sign her cousin’s death warrant after Mary became closely implicated in an assassination plot against the English monarch
Neglected for the most part by Mary, Queen of Scots, the period of Mary’s imprisonment, and accordingly the series of plots against Elizabeth I, received limited airing. Executing the Duke of Norfolk after discovery of the Ridolfi Plot – a scheme to replace Elizabeth with Mary through the aid of Spanish troops – in 1571, following the Throckmorton Plot in 1583 the Bond of Association and Act for the Queen’s Safety was passed. Sanctioning the death of any individual who plotted against Elizabeth, the Babington Plot of 1586, which sought to assassinate Elizabeth, was to be Mary’s ultimate downfall.
Consenting to the plot in letters intercepted by the Queen’s men, although Mary protested the words were not written by her hand but instead forged, the Babington Plot wished to supplant Elizabeth and restore a Catholic monarchy in England. Arrested whilst out riding, Mary was placed on trial for treason in October 1586. Continuing to assert her innocence, as will be discussed Elizabeth did not desire her cousin’s death. However, part of Mary’s defense was her status as a queen, placing her above the judgment of English courts, inexcusably putting Elizabeth in an awkward position. Relenting at last, Elizabeth was forced to order Mary’s death for her alleged crimes.
2. Wrong: Elizabeth did not sign the death warrant of Mary Stuart surrounded by councilors in a special meeting, nor did the English Queen probably intend for her cousin to be executed at that time
As depicted in Mary, Queen of Scots, overlooking the nineteen years of Mary’s captivity in England, hastily compressed into only a couple of scenes at the end of the movie is the eponymous character’s death. Concluding with Mary’s execution, on February 1, 1587, Elizabeth finally signed a death warrant for her cousin and entrusted it into the care of William Davison. Unlike in the film, however, Elizabeth did not sign the warrant with any pomp or circumstance, nor did she in front of her privy councilors. Instead, it is likely the order was signed as part of a routine series of documents in private without special comment.
Similarly ignored by Mary, Queen of Scots was the immediate aftermath of the execution itself. Having been called, in secret, a meeting of some members of the privy council on February 3, it was agreed to carry out the execution immediately. Beheading Mary on February 8, the sentence was performed without Elizabeth being informed of the proceedings. Reportedly becoming outraged and irate, it is unclear whether Elizabeth’s anger was merely for show as a form of plausible deniability or if she had not actually intended to kill her cousin. Imprisoning Davison in the Tower of London, the unfortunate noble was only released after other councilors interceded on his behalf.
1. Wrong: Cutting to black with a swing the executioner’s ax, implying the sudden beheading of Mary Stuart, the execution of the former Queen of Scotland was, in fact, a botched affair
Informed on the evening of February 7, 1587, that she was to die the following morning, Mary Stuart walked freely and with dignity onto the scaffold erected in the Great Hall of Fotheringhay Castle. As depicted accurately in Mary, Queen of Scots, two servants removed their mistresses outer garments to reveal a crimson petticoat: the liturgical color of martyrdom in the Roman Catholic Church. Accepting a blindfold, unlike in the film whereupon she refuses it, Mary, Queen of Scots ends by cutting to black as the executioner swings his ax down upon the neck of the condemned and praying Mary.
Strongly implying Mary’s sudden death, the real-life execution of the Queen of Scots was far less clean. Having accepted per convention the apologies of the executioner, replying “I forgive you with all my heart, for now, I hope, you shall make an end of all my troubles”, the pardoned soul incompetently bungled his task. The first blow failed to behead the slender woman, missing Mary’s neck and striking instead the back of her head. Unsuccessful with his second swing, the next attempt severed Mary’s neck albeit not entirely, remaining connected by pieces of sinew. Forced to cut through the remnants with his ax, the executioner finally completed his gruesome objective.

Welcome to Legal Aid Board
Legal Aid Board is a statutory body created under the Legal Aid Act Chapter 19 of 2005. The Board is mandated to provide legal aid services (criminal and civil) to indegent persons.
A credible and innovative provider of legal aid promoting access to Justice for all.
“To provide quality legal aid for enhanced access to justice”
“To uphold professional ethics, good conduct, efficiency, accountability, transparency and integrity.”
The provision of legal aid services in Zambia dates back to 1967 when the Government of the Republic of Zambia passed the Legal Aid Act No.20 of 1967 which is now Chapter 34 of the Laws of Zambia. The Act received two minor amendments in 1967 and 1972. There were no further amendments until the enactment of Act no.17 of 2000 and Act No.19 of 2005. These two Acts established the Legal Aid Fund and the Legal Aid Board as a semi-autonomous institution.
Prior to the establishment of the Legal Aid Board there was a Directorate of Legal Aid as a department in the Ministry of Legal Affairs ( now Ministry of Justice). It relied entirely on the Ministry administration for all logistical support services, and its operations were limited to the line of rail. Operational functions greatly improved after the Legal Aid Board became operational in January 2008. The Legal Aid Board has seen tremendous growth over the years and is currently operating in all the provinces in Zambia with the Copperbelt and Southern provinces having two(2) stations each due to the enormous workload in these provinces.
With the assistance of cooperating partners such as GIZ in 2015, Legal Aid Board saw an establishment of Legal Services Units in various places such as Kitwe, Chingola, Ndola, Choma and Livingstone. This greatly improved the provision of legal services as these units are located at the Magistrate Court building in their respective towns. The bulk of litigation in Zambia takes place in the Magistrate court, this therefore greatly widened the Legal Aid Board footprint in the quest to deliver quality services and in turn promote access to justice.

Joan Violet Robinson FBA (31 October 1903 – 5 August 1983) was a British post-Keynesian economist who was well known for her work on monetary economics and wide-ranging contributions to economic theory. She was the daughter of Major-General Sir Frederick Barton Maurice, 1st Baronet, and was married to Austin Robinson, a fellow economist. Together, they had two children.
Robinson studied economics at Girton College, Cambridge. While at Cambridge University she came under the influence of Maurice Dobb. He was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain. "Dobb was probably the first academic in Britain to carry a Communist Party membership card. Without Dobb, communism would never have gained the prominence in Cambridge that it did."
According to Robinson, not all of his students agreed with his political views. A group of "hearties" seized him and threw him "fully dressed into the River Cam" in a futile effort to teach him sense. This happened to Dobb more than once; but his persecutors became bored and eventually left him alone.
Immediately after graduation in 1925, she married the economist Austin Robinson. In 1937, she became a lecturer in economics at the University of Cambridge. She joined the British Academy in 1958 and was then elected fellow of Newnham College in 1962. In 1965 she assumed the position of full professor and fellow of Girton College. In 1979, just four years before she died, she became the first female honorary fellow of King's College.
As a member of "the Cambridge School" of economics, Robinson contributed to the support and exposition of Keynes' General Theory, writing especially on its employment implications in 1936 and 1937 (it attempted to explain employment dynamics in the midst of the Great Depression).
In 1933 in her book The Economics of Imperfect Competition, Robinson coined the term "monopsony," which is used to describe the buyer converse of a seller monopoly. Monopsony is commonly applied to buyers of labour, where the employer has wage setting power that allows it to exercise Pigouvian exploitation and pay workers less than their marginal productivity. Robinson used monopsony to describe the wage gap between women and men workers of equal productivity.
During the Second World War, Robinson worked on a few different Committees for the wartime national government. During this time, she visited the Soviet Union as well as China. She developed an interest in underdeveloped and developing nations and contributed much of what is now understood in this area of economics.
In 1962 she published Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth, another book on growth theory, which discussed Golden Age growth paths. Afterwards she developed the Cambridge growth theory with Nicholas Kaldor. She was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1964.
Near the end of her life she studied and concentrated on methodological problems in economics and tried to recover the original message of Keynes' General Theory. Between 1962 and 1980 she wrote many economics books for the general public. Robinson suggested developing an alternative to the revival of classical economics.
At least two students who studied under her have won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences: Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz. In his autobiographical notes for the Nobel Foundation, Stiglitz described their relationship as "tumultuous" and Robinson as unused to "the kind of questioning stance of a brash American student"; after a term, Stiglitz therefore "switched to Frank Hahn". In his own autobiography notes, Sen described Robinson as "totally brilliant but vigorously intolerant".
Robinson was a frequent visitor to Centre for Development Studies (CDS), Thiruvananthapuram, India. She was a Visiting Fellow at the Centre in the mid-1970s. She instituted an endowment fund to support public lectures at the Centre. She was a frequent visitor to the Centre until January, 1982 and participated in all activities of the Centre and especially student seminars. Professor Robinson donated royalties of two of her books (Selected Economic Writings, Bombay: Oxford University Press, 1974, Introduction to Modern Economics (jointly with John Eatwell), Delhi; Tata McGraw Hill, 1974) to CDS.
Also, Robinson made several trips to China, reporting her observations and analyses in China: An Economic Perspective (1958), The Cultural Revolution in China (1969), and Economic Management in China (1975; 3rd edn, 1976), in which she praised the Cultural Revolution. In October 1964, Robinson also visited North Korea, which implemented social reforms and collectivisation at the time, and wrote in her report "Korean Miracle" that the country's success was due to "the intense concentration of the Koreans on national pride" under Kim Il-sung, "a messiah rather than a dictator". She also stated in reference to the division of Korea that "[o]bviously, sooner or later the country must be reunited by absorbing the South into socialism." During her last decade, she became more and more pessimistic about the possibilities of reforming economic theory, as expressed, for example, in her essay "Spring Cleaning".
The Cultural Revolution in China is written from the perspective of trying to understand the thinking that lay behind the revolution, particularly Mao Zedong's preoccupations. Mao is seen as aiming to recapture a revolutionary sense in a population that had known only, or had grown used to, stable Communism, so that it could "re-educate the Party" (pp. 20, 27); to instil a realisation that the people needed the guidance of the Party and much as the other way round (p. 20); to re-educate intellectuals who failed to see that their role in society, like that of all other groups, was to 'Serve the People' (pp. 33, 43); and finally to secure a succession, not stage-managed by the Party hierarchy or even by Mao himself but the product of interaction between a revitalised people and a revitalised Party (p. 26).
On the whole, the book emphasises the positive aspects of Mao's "moderate and humane" intentions (p. 19) rather than the "violence and disorder" that broke out, we are told, "from time to time", occurrences "strongly opposed" (ibid.) to Mao's wishes. Robinson recognises and appears to endorse a revision to classical Marxism in Mao's view of the relation of base to superstructure: "On the classical view, there is one-way determination between base and superstructure but Mao shows how the superstructure may react upon the base: Ideas may become a material force" (p. 12). She acknowledges that "Old-fashioned Marxists might regard this as a heresy, but that is scarcely reasonable" (ibid.).
Joan Robinson's maternal grandfather was the distinguished London surgeon and Cambridge academic Howard Marsh.

Simmons College of Kentucky, the state’s oldest African American college, was founded in 1879. The college was established by former slaves to train the sons and daughters of fellow African Americans. In August of 1865, Rev. Henry Adams led the effort to create the institution where he proposed a college be established for former enslaved people at the State Convention of Colored Baptist Churches meeting at Louisville.
Follow up efforts to create the college languished until November 1879 when the Trustees of the Convention of Colored Baptist Churches of Kentucky bought four acres of land in Louisville to serve as the campus for the institution. The college was first known as the Kentucky Normal Theological Institute and its first president was Rev. Elijah P. Marrs.
In 1880, Dr. William J. Simmons succeeded Rev. Marrs as president and soon the schools fortunes increased. Simmons, a former slave, had helped develop Howard Universitys teacher training programs. Under Dr. Simmonss leadership the school’s offerings increased. To a primarily liberal arts curriculum he added courses in medicine, law, music, business, and theology. He also encouraged competitive intra and intramural sports and led the effort to gain university status. After a charter amendment in 1884, the college was recognized as a state university.
In 1893, Kentucky Normal University had 159 students. By 1900, in partnership with the University of Louisville, the University offered professional degrees in nursing and law. The University proudly and accurately claimed that most African Americans in Kentucky who were physicians, teachers, ministers, and lawyers before 1920 had attended the University. The University became the only African American higher institution in the nation other than Howard University with both medical and law departments. In 1918 in recognition of the impact of Dr. Simmonss ten years of leadership (1880-1890) on the University, the Board of Trustees renamed it Simmons University. By 1922 the campus had | <urn:uuid:8eeb2b7b-ff6a-41a9-8229-c82fbb1927b7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://blackfacts.com/fact/simmons-college-of-kentucky-louisville-1879 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.977537 | 387 | 3.375 | 3 |
Fourth of July is both a blessing and a curse. As a long weekend when friends and family can spend time together enjoying the days at the lake and nights watching fireworks, it is one of the greatest of summer blessings. When you realize that the shelves in the big box store will now be filled with back to school supplies and even Halloween costumes, however, Independence Day can be a curse. Whether you are someone who cannot wait for the school year to start again or you want the last days of summer to disappear as slowly as the heat of the day, there is no denying that the first week in July is a dividing point.
If you want to embrace the march of time and make plans for the fall, you are likely someone who is looking forward to weekends at local apple orchards. Whether it is to purchase homemade apple pies or you are one of the many brides planning weddings this fall, there are many reasons to look forward to the cooler temperatures of autumn.
Fall Weather Is a Great Option for Weddings and Outdoor Apple Festivals
Finding a great way to spend a fall day is pretty easy if you live within driving distance of an apple orchard. Outdoor weddings, apple and pumpkin picking, and night time fire pits are just some of the activities that are common at most outdoor commercial farms. As many as 2,500 varieties of apples are grown in the U.S., and 7,500 are grown around the world. If you have a favorite local apple, however, there are few things as fun as visiting a local orchard and picking your own. Often less expensive than purchasing those same apples at the store, there are many times when the family experience makes the afternoon priceless.
Later in the fall, when all of the apples have been harvested, many of these same locations start selling their pumpkins. Pumpkins have been grown in North America for 5,000 years, and they range in size from less than a pound to over 1,000 pounds. And whether you want to use these pumpkins for carving jack-o-lanterns, making pies, or decorating a fall front porch display, fall is likely one of your seasons.
We may just be a few days from the Fourth of July, but there are plenty of people looking forward to the cooler temperatures of fall and the many activities that season brings. | <urn:uuid:93b05374-f7dc-4d35-8e47-bcdad27f47fb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://torontopoets.com/what-is-your-favorite-season-of-the-year/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967834 | 476 | 1.71875 | 2 |

Running is among the cheapest and most accessible forms of exercise to help you stay in shape and achieve your health and fitness goals. However, a few things to consider when running, including your running forms, pace, and how often you run. But is running too fast bad for you?
People who exercise or run too hard for too long are also more likely to die than moderate exercisers or runners and maybe less healthy than sedentary people, according to an article published in Active.
Running too fast and too often can stop your progress, mainly for beginners. An even worse consequence is running too fast and too often increases the risk of injury, mainly if you try to run more and more miles (km) at a pace that you think is “easy” but is not.
Speedy running can result in severe injuries and other health issues. So, maintaining a normal speed during running is better for you. In addition, when you run hard, your muscles work hard, leading to a maximum contraction of your muscles. So, make sure that you learn to manage your running pace better.
Read on to find out how to ensure you are running at the proper pace tips on managing your pace for better results.

Is Running Too Fast Bad For You?
A daily routine of physical activity is highly beneficial in treating and preventing numerous prevalent chronic diseases, particularly the cardiovascular system. But, regular, excessive sustained endurance exercise may cause adverse structural remodeling of the heart and large arteries, which generally return to normal within seven to ten days, found a study issued by the Journal of the Missouri State Medical Association.
Long-term excessive endurance exercise might cause pathologic structural remodeling of the heart and large arteries, found a 2012 study.
According to the researchers, excessive sustained endurance exercise includes participating in extreme endurance competitions such as marathons, ultra-marathons, Iron-man distance triathlons, very long-distance bicycle racing, and more.
Over months to years of repetitive injury, running, in some people, may lead to health issues. In addition, long-term excessive sustained exercise may be associated with heart diseases.
However, the researcher also noted that this concept is still theoretical and inconsistent. Furthermore, they added that lifelong vigorous exercisers typically have low mortality rates and excellent functional capacity.
What Happens If You Run Too Fast?
It is tempting to run too fast, particularly if you don’t have much time dedicated to running and still want to log your number of miles (km). Many possible side effects are associated with running too fast. Here are some cons of running too fast.
1- Increased Muscle Contraction
When you run, your muscles keep on contracting and relaxing. In a normal race, muscles do their job normally. But when you run too fast, your muscles contract with an increased speed and to an increased extent. This causes useless fatigue that may lower your training capabilities.
2- Increased Chances of Injury
A very low chance of injury accompanies normal running. However, fast running increases the chances of physical injury. When your body organs work at an increased speed, it enhances the chances of possible physical injuries.
3- Reduces the Performance on the Race Day
When you wanna run too fast, ask yourself a simple question, ” what is the purpose of this speed? “. This question will resolve a lot of confusion. When you invest your power and energy today, how will you compete on race day? So, running very fast uses the energy that was to be used on the race day.
4- Running Too Fast Might Not Benefit You
The useless activity of fast running off the race day is useless. It means the use of energy at the wrong place at the wrong time. Fast running is no more than useless activity. So, avoid this kind of activity.
5- Lowers Your Progress
If you think that you can increase your progress by running fast, you’re wrong. Fast race lowers your overall progress instead. So, this is a loss for you as it may tire you before the final race day.

How Do You Know If You’re Running Too Fast?
- The easiest way is to ensure you can breathe and talk easily while running. A more reliable way is to monitor your heart rate and ensure if you are in the proper intensity zone ( easy, aerobic, and conversational all mean the same).
- Ensure you gradually adapt your body to running at a conversational pace to make it more efficient and reap all the benefits, including running faster and less muscle soreness.
- Conversational pace miles (or km) will allow you to build up an extensive aerobic base because the stimulus to mitochondrial development happens most when you train at a leisurely pace.
If you’re a regular runner, you can notice instantly if you’re running too fast. Here are some signs that will show that you have exceeded your running speed.
1- You Get Tired After a Few Miles
Normal running doesn’t tire you instantly. However, if you run too fast, you’ll get tired soon. You will find yourself helpless and you can’t imagine completing the race.
Whenever I run too fast I noticed that I get tired very quickly, so I try to slow down and adjust my pace. The great thing about running is that you never stop learning and improving your running speeds, techniques, and benefits.
2- You Start To Lose Interest in Running
When you are tired, you will lose interest in your runs, particularly if you are a beginner and nothing will motivate you to run.
When you notice this type of sign, know that you are pushing yourself too hard by running too fast running. If you never run too fast, you might never discover your true potential.
Try investing in a fitness tracker, which generally displays all your health-related training statistics and keeps you motivated.
3- You Are Out of Breath
When you run too fast, you’ll feel out of breath. When this happens, you can’t even hold a conversation. If this happens, your running speed has been increased.
If you breathe too fast at rest, you can get dizzy and not adequately get enough oxygen. You know you are breathing at the right speed when your breathing comes naturally while running. If you struggle to breathe, then slow down (or walk ) for a while until it gets back under control.
- Like anything in life, improvement = a hard workout + recovery. Running at a conversational pace promotes hard recovery workouts, so you feel rested before your next hard workout.
- I recommend you limit the number of hard workouts to twice a week, and you run easy (no cheating) between hard days.
- Knowing your maximum heart rate can help you find your training zones. You can invest in a fitness tracker with wrist-based heart rate monitors to help you track your training zones.
4- No Improvement
Generally, continuous running helps you improve your stamina. If you don’t notice any improvement and feel stuck at the very same point, it means that you’re tired due to an increased running speed.
Use a running app to track your runs. I personally use Strava. Using Strava or any other running app is an excellent way to keep track of your running.
More importantly, do not compare yourself to others; use a running app to track your progress to become the best runner you can be.
5- Physical Injury
Usually, normal running doesn’t lead to any physical injury. However, if you run too fast, you may get injured due to an increased muscle contraction. This is another sign of running fast.
To prevent injuries, you suggest you invest in a fitness tracker to help you track how hard your runs are on a day-to-day basis, as it will help you reap even greater benefits from your runs.
Why Is Running Fast Bad?
Running at an appropriate speed is good for building endurance and stamina. However, if you give yourself a tough time by running too fast, it may impart bad effects on your body. Here are some side effects of running too fast.
- Running fast leads to a pause in running progress
- When you run too fast, you stop improving.
- Running too fast might not help build stamina.
- You may lose physical endurance through by running too fast.
- Fast running can burn your body calories for nothing.
- This practice affects the metabolism process.
- Fast running affects the immune system.
- Running too fast can lead to respiratory issues.
- Women may suffer from menstrual disruption.
How Fast Is Too Fast For Running?
It depends upon the kind of running whether you’re running too fast or not. For different runners, the speed limit is also different. Here are approximate speeds for different kinds of runners.
- Normal Jogging speed: 12mph
- Athletic run: 14 to 17mph
- Sprinter racers near to end line: 25mph
From the above approximate speed, you can judge whether you’re running fast or with a normal speed. If you’re a normal runner running for your life, 5 to 7mph is also enough for you. So, never exceed the running speed limit to maintain your stamina and running progress.
Best Tips For Optimizing Your Health, Fitness, and Longevity While Running:
To optimize your health, fitness, and longevity without causing damaging cardiovascular structural, and electrical remodeling, the following tips recommended by the Journal of the Missouri State Medical Association:
- Avoid a daily routine of exhaustive strenuous running for periods greater than one hour continuously. Ideally, perform no more than seven hours per week of running too intensively.
- When running too fast, take regular rest periods (even for a few minutes at a more manageable pace, like slowing down to walk in the middle of a run). It will provide you with a ‘cardiac rest period.’
- Once or twice weekly, complete high-intensity interval exercise training to enhance or maintain your peak aerobic fitness. Performing high-intensity intervals is more effective in improving your overall fitness and peak aerobic capacity than is continuous aerobic workout training.
- Incorporate cross-training using stretching, such as yoga and strength training, into your weekly training routine. It will help reduce the burden of cardiac work compared to daily long-distance endurance exercise training.
- Stay active and avoid prolonged sitting. Walk regularly throughout the day and always look for opportunities to take the stairs. Invest in a pedometer and slowly build up to 10,000 steps per day.
- Avoid chronically competing in very long-distance races, including marathons, ultra-marathons, Iron-man distance triathlons, 100-mile bicycle races, particularly after age 45 or 50.
- If you are over 45 or 50 years of age, try to reduce the intensity and duration of your endurance exercise training sessions and allow more recovery time.
How to Find The Proper Pace
You are at a very high risk of injury if you are a new runner, especially in the first 3 to 4 weeks. For a beginner, I recommend:
- Adopting conversation” pace.
- Walk/run programs.
In addition, beginners to running should focus on prehab and recovery, including stretching, strengthening, foam rolling, icing, self-massage.
Prehab and recovery can be as important (even more critical) than running in the early stages of running.
If you are an experienced runner: Remember, many experienced runners go too fast every day and wonder why they can’t improve their paces or run well.
- Monitor your conversation pace because it is a better metric for those who are experienced, runners.
- I would recommend you find a friend or family member newer to running and get them out the door if that’s what it takes to slow you down.
Running is a good activity that prevents lots of diseases if done well. However, this may prove harmful when you don’t follow SOPs. Speed is the foremost thing that should be maintained during running as overspeeding may result in many health issues.
Like anything else in life, it is best to run in moderation; pushing yourself is good sometimes because it helps build stamina and character.
Always listen to your body, and when you feel your runs or workouts are making you uncomfortable, take time to recover and do a gentle physical activity such as yoga or swimming. | <urn:uuid:5f537bd4-7195-476d-9718-728964873a17> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://altinify.com/is-running-too-fast-bad-for-you/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.935049 | 2,670 | 2.703125 | 3 |

This next prompt is inspired by a dear friend of mine (who is a past poetry marathon participant). The challenge is to write an English haibun.
A haibun is a traditional Japanese form that combines prose and haiku. The prose section should be approached like prose poetry and every word should be made to count. Most poets suggest that the prose section should be no more than 120 words, but if you want to make it longer go for it.
Then end with a Haiku. The haiku should serve as the climax or epiphany to the text that proceeds it.
Traditionally an English haiku is three lines the first being 5 syllables long, the second being 7, and the third being 5. Traditionally a haiku is about nature, but yours does not have to be.

Searlait Jasmine October 30, 2021 Resume
Finding a reliable resume writer is the next challenge for anyone who decides it is time to make the investment. A good resume writer needs to have a history of writing and editing experience, along with knowledge of recruiting and hiring practices. What credentials determine an effective resume writer? There are resume writing certifications available and that certainly demonstrates commitment to the job. My background is different than that as I have advanced education and experience as an educator, writer, and author. The most important element is that anyone who works in this type of industry needs to have some evidence of writing experience.
Another distinguishing feature is the fee that a resume writer charges. I know of many writers who charge exorbitant fees and then guarantee their resumes will produce jobs or job calls. I do not believe that anyone can guarantee results solely based upon the resume; however, what a resume can do is present the best a candidate has to offer and help generate interest. My clients have told me that after receiving a resume I’ve written they started receiving more job calls. It was then up to them to speak well and encourage the potential employer to consider them further. I have also found that another benefit from having a resume professionally written is that it provides a boost of confidence as the person sees themselves in a better light, as they are reminded of the skills and qualities they possess.
Ensure that your sentences are worded to show that you actually did something. It sounds silly, but consider the following two sentences:
First, for each position listed on your resume, provide a short paragraph that describes your roles and responsibilities. This tip is designed to make sure you use keywords related to the position that the software may be searching for in your resume. If done correctly, it should allow your resume to earn a higher ranking in the system.
Do not put an Objective section on your resume. Why would you? What value does it add? Space on your resume is limited and is better used to provide a one paragraph (2-3 sentences) summary of your qualifications for the specific position. This summary should include years of experience, types of experience, and highlight the most important technologies related to the position. This section is used to make the resume reviewer’s screening process easier and improve your chances of passing the initial screening. Use it wisely and tailor it for each position.
Keep it Relevant – In second grade, I played the role of a singing tree in my school play. As important an event as that was to me in my life, it is completely irrelevant to our discussion here about resume writing tips. You should follow the same advice on your resume. If it is not relevant or you can’t reword it so that it is relevant to the job or employer, leave it off. Focus your resume on the items that qualify you for the position you are seeking. In other words, get rid of the fluff. For example, I once received a resume from a programmer, however the only thing I remember from it was that they attended clown college and competed in national juggling competitions. Yes, that was interesting, but it completely trumped their qualifications for the programming position which I don’t even remember. Basically, limit items on your resume to those relevant to the position for which you are applying. Do not include irrelevant items to that position on the resume. If you haven’t figured this out yet, this means you will have multiple, fine-tuned versions of your resume for each type of position for which you apply.

Shortages 2022: 5 products expected to be in tight supply this year
Editor's note: This story is part of a series on the trends, opportunities and challenges supply chains will face in 2022. Read the full outlook here.
Stockouts and raw material shortages came to define 2021, and empty shelves pushed the term "supply chains" into the national spotlight.
Skyrocketing demand, the pandemic and other factors driving current supply issues aren't expected to go away in 2022, and shortages of certain materials and products will likely continue. But as companies get better at forecasting and responding to potential disruptions, their impact could be less pronounced.
"This might be the year where we reach some sort of predictability," said Simon Geale, executive vice president of procurement consultancy Proxima. "But it's not going to be the year where we completely alleviate ourselves from the shortages."
Here's a look at some of the biggest supply constraints of 2021 that will likely continue to create headwinds for companies this year.
Sky-high demand for computer chips is expected to keep supply tight through the rest of the year.
Chips are used in everything from automobiles to household appliances, and widespread shifts among businesses to 5G are placing additional strain on producers. Semiconductor shortages the past two years are expected to have resulted in revenue misses of more than $500 billion worldwide for suppliers and customers, according to a Deloitte report.
Semiconductor producers have taken steps to ramp up production, and capital expenditure projects announced before the pandemic are predicted to add even more capacity this year, according to the report.
Still, that won't be enough to meet demand this year. Semiconductor supplier Broadcom, for example, is "pretty much booked all the way through '22 and even beyond '22 into '23," CEO Hock Tan said in a December earnings call.
Tight supply of aluminum has created problems for the construction industry and for beverage makers who have had trouble getting their hands on enough aluminum cans. Monster Beverage "was not able to fully satisfy increased demand" in the third quarter due to can shortages and other supply chain challenges, co-CEO Rodney Sacks told analysts in November.
China curtailed production of aluminum and other energy-intensive metals last year as part of its plan to reduce carbon emissions, and a report from ING Group found primary production in the country to be 1.2 million tons below the bank's expectations.
Surging natural gas prices in Europe have also pushed some producers to curtail production, exacerbating the global supply situation. Europe lost more than 650,000 tons of annual production capacity since the rise in energy prices began in October, European Aluminium wrote in a letter to the EU Jan. 14.
Aluminum can producers have invested in new projects to ramp up capacity in the U.S. — in September, Ball Corporation announced it would build a $290 million packaging plant in Nevada. But with the plant not expected to come online until late 2022, the company predicts demand will continue to outstrip supply in the short-term.
"Early insights into 2022 is we're significantly oversold again," President Dan Fisher said in a November earnings call.
Grocery stores may not rid themselves of empty shelves just yet, as labor constraints and challenges with the 2022 crop growing season could keep prices high and supply spotty through the rest of this year.
The fast-spreading omicron variant has upended operations at food manufacturing plants, and a rise in the number of sick workers has raised costs for businesses and limited output. Conagra, owner of Marie Callender's and Reddi-wip, saw a rise in "omicron absenteeism" and expects disruptions last into Q3, CEO Sean Connolly told analysts earlier this month.
Shortages of fertilizer and pesticides have also left producers warning that this year's crop yields could be smaller. Soaring natural gas prices in Europe and curbs on exports from Russia and China is expected to keep fertilizer demand high beyond 2023, an executive with manufacturer CF Industries told analysts in November.
"It's going to continue to get worse, it appears," Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetable Executive Officer Jon Schwalls said during testimony in a Nov. 3 congressional hearing on food supply chain issues. "The less protection products we have, the less yields we're gonna have."
A Texas ice storm and two hurricanes along the U.S. Gulf Coast walloped the chemicals supply chain last year, causing factory outages and disruptions to manufacturing that dragged on for months.
Plastic resins, the raw material used to make everything from packaging to paint, were reported to be in short supply for the 10th straight month in December, according to the Institute for Supply Management. Prices last year skyrocketed as much as 50%, according to AlixPartners.
Manufacturers have moved to stockpile more product, which is expected to ease prices and supply constraints in 2022. But increasing demand and a reinstated tax on imported resins will likely keep the market volatile.
High materials cost and a lack of supply are lengthening lead times of construction projects and pushing contractors to use alternate materials.
Overall construction input prices are up 22.3% from a year ago, with nonresidential construction prices up 23.2%, according to the Association of Builders and Contractors. Home builder sentiment dropped for the first time in four months on rising inflation and material shortages, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
"The price and availability of building materials, and the supply chain in general, remains the most pressing, immediate challenge for builders as they seek to add housing supply," said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke in a release.
Builders faced long lead times last year of everything from wallboard to garage doors, and shortages come as businesses plan new distribution centers and other massive capital expenditure projects to add resilience to their supply chains.
Labor constraints, high demand for construction and long lead times could prompt some companies to reassess plans, said Proxima's Geale.
"These sort of modernization programs that businesses are hanging their hats, we're gonna we're gonna really see who manages to push it through," said Geale. | <urn:uuid:8d8a77cc-ba2f-4870-a2f7-bf5504c7dea3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.supplychaindive.com/trendline/risk-management/27/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.956458 | 1,289 | 1.554688 | 2 |
Australia’s most up-to-date global subsea info cable technique titled the Oman Australia Cable (OAC) has officially landed in Perth.
The cable landed from the Cable Ship Reliance and was created by professional consulting and financial commitment firm SUB.CO.
The express undersea cable straight connects to Muscat, Oman and Perth and is anticipated to give the cheapest latency route from Australia and Europe, Center East and Africa (EMEA).
The moment the OAC is linked to the Indigo Cable Procedure it will variety portion of a new ‘Great Southern Route’ concerning the US, Australia and EMEA.
SUB.CO founder Bevan Slattery announced the OAC plans back in 2019, contacting it “the only express cable concerning continental Australia and EMEA, giving the very first protected, numerous and small latency route concerning the two continents”,
Slattery said the OAC cable landing in Perth “has been a extended time in the making” and “personally represents yet another essential piece of the puzzle to increase Australia’s electronic resiliency”.
“Currently, each individual submarine cable that connects Europe/Center East to Asia goes by a one 100 mile stretch of water in the Malacca Strait that is also a person of the most earthquake inclined, most fished, most energetic delivery regions in the world. It is the Suez Canal of the Cloud,” he said.
“Additionally each individual cable out of the west of Australia all adhere to the very same route and have the very same one factors of failure staying they all travel by the Sunda Strait and land in Singapore.
“OAC will adjust all that.”
The cable is established to be extended by the cable landing station and examined just before ongoing installation.
The cable is then established to land into the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in late 2021.
SUB.CO main government Jim Clarke said the team have been “busy in the background” finalising function of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands beach manhole.
Fronthaul networks are also less than building “with the containerised cable landing station about to be shipped to Island for commissioning in readiness for the arrival of the cable ship.”
SUB.CO said the last stage will start off after generation on Cocos (Keeling) Islands is entire with installation function continuing all the way to Oman.
Final cable building is expected for early 2022 and all set for service mid-2022. | <urn:uuid:cbdf3a11-046f-4140-abd4-eaff327242e7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.donkeykongunblocked.com/sub-cos-oman-australia-subsea-cable-lands-in-perth-networking.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.928086 | 529 | 1.5 | 2 |
Analysing the results of a retrospective, single-centre cohort study conducted at Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital, London, UK, Anna Pouncey (Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital, London, UK) emphasised that over 50% of cases included in the investigation could have been avoided. When questioned about how the findings of this study will impact practice, Pouncey said: “We now have a lower threshold for investigating and checking if a patient is showing signs of restenosis.”
Presented at the European Society for Vascular Surgery annual meeting (ESVS 2019; 24–27 September, Hamburg, Germany), this study into risk factors for patients requiring a reintervention, following treatment for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), was based on a classification model that highlighted technical, flow-related and haematological causes of restenosis and re-occlusion.
Furthermore, Pouncey also offered a cost-effectiveness analysis of interventions for the treatment of iliofemoral DVT and subsequent post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), suggesting that either pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) or catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) may present benefits over oral anticoagulation.
Classification of risk factors for reintervention
“The aim of our study was to develop a classification system for why patients require a reintervention, identify the individual risk factors associated with them, and examine patient outcomes following reintervention,” said Pouncey, as she outlined the objectives of St Thomas’ investigation.
As part of the study, 135 patients who had undergone successful lysis for acute symptomatic iliofemoral DVT—between 2013 and 2017—were identified, with 33% of these patients requiring a reintervention. In addition, patient notes were evaluated for risk factors (including the haematologist’s assessment of their anticoagulation status), while a retrospective venographic assessment was also performed with the support of two independent specialists.
Focusing on the data, Pouncey revealed that 54% of patients (who had undergone a reintervention) had a technical error identified, which could have been a lack of stenting in the presence of residual disease, a failure to extend the stent distally (missing inflow), a failure to extend the stent proximally (missing outflow), or device failure such as stent fracture. However, Pouncey noted that “very few technical issues were related to device failure”. Around 44% had a flow-related issue, which would entail scarring or an occlusion of the femoral, profunda, or popliteal vein, and 35% had a haematological issue, such as non-compliance with anticoagulation or inappropriate dosing.
Of all the cases included in the study, 29% were multifactorial, with a significant amount of overlap between technical and flow-related issues. Comparing this to the cohort who maintained their vessel patency, Pouncey commented: “We can see that very few of these patients had any technical issues, all had good flow, and only one had a haematological issue.”
Looking next at patient factors, or individual risk factors associated with reintervention, it was stated that the only relevant variable was a younger patient age, although these patients were associated with a greater prevalence of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis. In terms of flow-related factors, profunda occlusion, femoral occlusion and stenting across the inguinal ligament were all considered important, while the patient was three times more likely to require an intervention if they were non-compliant with anticoagulation. “When we performed multivariate analysis, the three factors that came out as dominant were IVC thrombosis, stenting across the inguinal ligament and anticoagulation non-compliance,” Pouncey asserted.
Patient outcome data showed that the median time to reintervention was 45 days, and 45% of cases were reintervened on during the first six weeks. There was an intervention success rate of 67%, although this was much higher in cases where a reintervention was performed prior to total vessel occlusion. Regarding the incidence of PTS, it was found that the need for reintervention doubled the risk, with 32% of patients in the reintervention group developing PTS compared to only 14% in the cases that remained patent.
In summary, Pouncey said: “Anticoagulation compliance is essential, and there is a role for surveillance so that you can reintervene prior to occlusion and have a greater chance of success. Last of all, you have a greater risk of poor patient outcome if you have to reintervene, so try to get it right the first time.”
A cost-effectiveness analysis of interventions
“We all know that iliofemoral DVT and the subsequent incidence of PTS carries a significant financial burden,” commented Pouncey, “and if you perform an interventional treatment to expedite thrombus removal, you will hopefully reduce the patients’ symptoms and mitigate post-thrombotic syndrome.” However, the investigator also accepted that this comes with “a higher risk of bleeding” as well as a greater cost.
Moreover, there is only a modest health benefit to this intervention (a 10% reduction in moderate to severe PTS) according to the ATTRACT trial. Despite these findings, PMT is currently used in the UK, albeit under special measures due to there being “a paucity of data to support its use”, according to Pouncey. “We aimed for an NHS-based cost-effectiveness analysis for treatment of iliofemoral DVT and specifically wanted to look at all anticoagulation vs. percutaneous interventions,” she said.
In order to perform the cost-effectiveness analysis, a patient health states model was created; a front-end decision tree was used to model the acute DVT veins and any complications that could happen, while a backend Markov model was also used to model the long-term patient outcomes, namely the severity of PTS. Analysis was conducted through a lifetime horizon with death as the absorbing state, while slightly increased mortality rates following DVT were also accounted for.
Pouncey addressed the sourcing of data and explained that “for patient outcomes, we used the results of the ATTRACT trial, as well as for the proportions of patients in each health state over time”. She added: “For our utility estimates we used the best available published literature and for our costing sources, we used the UK NHS national tariff workbook, published scientific literature and local data from our team at the St Thomas’ Trust.”
The results of the analysis, which accounted for a stenting rate of 80%, were in some ways unsurprising, demonstrating that oral anticoagulation is far cheaper than CDT or PMT. However, the main results of the model established as part of the investigation at St Thomas’ Hospital showed that both CDT and PMT were dominant over oral anticoagulation. Concerning the findings, Pouncey commented: “What this means is that over a lifetime, the mean cost for the interventional treatments was cheaper than oral anticoagulation and the patient quality of life was higher too. So we looked into this a bit further, and what we found was that the increased cost is offset by a long-term cost benefit in the reduction of moderate to severe PTS. Moderate and severe PTS also have much higher healthcare costs over the long-term.”
In response to these results, the robustness of the model was assessed univariate and multivariate sensitive analyses. This revealed that costing is most sensitive to age, stenting and hospitalisation for severe PTS and that clinical effectiveness is more sensitive to major bleeding rates than pulmonary embolism (PE). That being said, significant parameter uncertainty was also found, reflecting the quality of data which was put into the cost-effectiveness model.
Pouncey concluded: “CDT and PMT may be cost-effective over oral anticoagulation, due to a reduction in the severity of PTS, however there is still uncertainty and we need to address this before drawing further conclusions. This can be achieved with more robust data on intervention outcomes, as well as a better understanding of the cost and lifetime impact of severe PTS.” | <urn:uuid:8baec392-5950-4cb4-8329-b393467e4ab6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://venousnews.com/reinterventions-iliofemoral-dvt-preventable-factors/?hilite=anticoagulation | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96889 | 1,807 | 1.539063 | 2 |
If you are having trouble safeguarding your MSD(moisture sensitive devices) from humidity associated problems, you might be on the correct web page. In this article, we are going to shed some lighting on the significance of Dry Storage Cabinets.
Essentially, a dry cabinet is an enclosure that will always keep digital components from getting subjected to excessive moisture environment. Individuals use these when they have to place their moisture sensitive products into low humidity environment.
We realize that extreme dampness may damage particular products, such as PCB,IC,chips,visual items,precision equipment. Since moisture may have a unfavorable impact on the product overall performance and result in malfunction in some instances, it’s essential to ensure they are in a place where these issues won’t occur.
Without additional ado, let’s learn why you may want to purchase a dried out cabinet to provide what you need.
Importance of buying a Dried out Cupboard
How come professional producers use a dried out cabinet to store their MSD? The brief answer is, they really want safety towards fungi. In fact, fungi will be the worst enemy of PCB Storage Dry Cabinets. It’s difficult to remove fungus and it may also cause harm and excellent economic loss for the items.
However , fungus and moisture can directly cause damage and cracking within electronic devices along with other moisture delicate components. This can occur in the event you keep the electronics and don’t consider any steps to protect it from unwanted things, like fungus and moisture. As soon as fungi develops, you won’t have the ability to stop it from spreading fast.
If you feel you are able to clear the fungus from PCB panels, you need to think again. This is because it could have a damaging effect on the tiny components on PCB panels and excessive works with excessive labor price,Therefore, we don’t recommend that you choose to go this path.
Often companies who gain access to dry cabinets wind up keeping their elements in uncovered workshops,Typically, fungus has a tendency to flourish in these areas due to high humidity. Generally, these folks live in locations where humidity remains higher throughout the year.
Remember that these can be quite a excellent choice for electronic and semiconductor manufacturers.Make sure that the gear you may have kept is free of dust and water vapor. And this can be done as long as you purchase a great dry cupboards. These products may be set up to control humidity preventing it from crossing the fishing line.
In order to shop your MSD (dampness delicate gadgets) into dried out cupboards, make sure you choose an optimal moisture stage,don’t keep the humidity level too low or excessive.
Dried out components is also very important,when the dry unit life-span is short,then you have to change it out once a couple of years or 3 years,it will cause higher price and much time.
Frequently, it expenses a hefty amount of money to have the fungus taken from your MSD. On top of this, the therapy will not be 100% effective. Consequently, you could end up getting long down time.
Lengthy story short, these are the explanations why you may want to spend money on Dessicant Dry Cabinets to store your costly digital equipment, including digital cameras. Most professionals within the area aim at improving the entire process of dehumidification to facilitate quick product drying out time. Most of the businesses in the community are in the position to handle faster drying in addition to dehumidification. The solutions listed below are totally different with regards to intricacy. Some installations are usually complicated depending on precisely what is needed.
Use within warehousing and storage
Dehumidifiers are essential in warehouses and locations where goods are stored. This kind of locations consist of ammunition, timber, steel products, furniture, textiles, and also paper manufacturing facilities. Using a system keeps a really continuous moisture degree throughout the calendar year. This is actually the very best manner in which these materials should be stored.
If there was no moisture manage integrated into the drying procedures, then bottlenecks will be created throughout production. As a result, business would suffer from great losses. Time, cash and improper use of storage space of ggvinf are among the stuff that the companies would need to deal with.
Repair and servicing
There is nothing as essential, as maintenance a dehumidifier or fixing it in the event it fails. Maintenance is a great necessity which allows your system to work for long without breaking lower. It removes some factors which could adversely affect the system before they really occur. This adds to the life in the dehumidifier. | <urn:uuid:04239a31-7a93-4075-99d1-a8b0cf9dd155> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sorryigotdrunk.com/2378/pcb-storage-dry-cabinets-look-at-this/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945032 | 971 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Saharan Dust Storm Could Hit Louisiana by Next Week
Would it really be 2020 if we didn't receive a Saharan dust storm?
That's right, folks, it looks like Louisiana is due for another dose of dust gifted to us by the Sahara Desert. This has happened to us before, in fact, it's all many Louisianians were talking about around this time last year. Of course then, we weren't in the middle of a global pandemic and civil unrest within the country.
This go around, experts believe the Saharan dust storm of 2020 could hit southern Texas, Louisiana, and Florida as early as next week.
Newsweek describes this phenomenon as, "The result of tiny sand and mineral particles being swept up off the surface of the Sahara Desert by winds. These particles are then carried by updrafts into an extremely dry and hot air mass known as the Saharan Air Layer, which forms above the desert between late spring and early fall."
The strong winds of our extremely powerful Earth literally grabs this floating dust and essentially transports it right to our doorstep.
You thought this year's pollen was bad? Just wait until we're all breathing in Saharan dust after it's traveled nearly 7,000 miles. I bet even the biggest anti-maskers will be more than happy to finally buy and wear a mask.
Believe it or not, though, the possible dust storm could also benefit out state, especially those in southern Louisiana. According to Newsweek, some scientist believe that the dry, dusty Saharan Air Layer may help to suppress the development of hurricanes and more minor tropical storms.
We'll keep you updated at the dust storm gets closer.

Self helping can really be an intelligent move that helps turn around your life for the better. This can help you think on where to begin with making these positive life changes. All that you should be aware of can begin to help yourself.
Stress is one of happiness. Stress causes both a physical and an emotional toll on your body. In order to reach your goals, we must learn to calm our minds and rid our lives of unnecessary stress. Set a relaxation time daily to relax and clear your mind. This time can make you feel more peaceful.
You will miss opportunities to develop personally if you avoid making important decisions. Do not fear decisions that need to be made, even when you do not have as much information as you would like. Even decisions that don’t turn out as you would have liked are valuable because they provide instructive learning experiences. A wrong decision will just open up the door for a better one.
Use your work time efficiently so you can get more done in a shorter amount of time.Take an ample amount of breaks regularly to stay focused on what you are working hard. This might sound counterproductive, but having constant breaks will help you recharge and unwind, you can be more focused and get many things accomplished.
Personal development starts with becoming a leader. Most people believe that leadership to mean someone who has influence are synonymous. Take a look at your journey toward leadership. What events have changed the person you been most impacted by in your life? How have you live? What are the things about you that make you a group? By considering these questions, you will be aware of how you can fit into a team setting.
You need to know your beliefs are in order to make a self improvement plan. It wouldn’t make sense to concentrate on things that are at odds with what you value.

Change such as this, once it has gained momentum, will contribute to Ethiopia’s target to achieve 80% open defecation free status by the end of 2015.
In May 2014, SNV launched the San Waghimra Project as part of the UK Department for International Development (DFID)-supported Sustainable Sanitation & Hygiene for All Results Programme (SSH4A), now being implemented across nine countries in Africa and Asia.
The San Waghimra Project focuses on six woredas of the Waghimra zone of Amhara National Regional State in Ethiopia, supporting the government in ensuring 1,440 villages become open defecation free (ODF) - thus contributing to the country’s 80% target of ODF status by the end of 2015, enabling each household to gain increased access to hygiene and sanitation.
The implementing development partner for the San Waghimra Project, the Organisation for Rehabilitation and Development in Amhara (ORDA), is working in partnership with SNV, the government and other private sector actors within the six woredas in the zone to enhance local government capacity, establish effective sanitation supply chains, provide access to finance, as well as advocate on and promote hygiene behavioural change.
Tigabu Aynu, Deputy Head of the Waghimra Zone Health Department remarked, in his opening speech during the five days CLTSH Master training of trainers (ToT): "Despite our effort to change the sanitation and hygiene situation of the zone, the number of people practising open defecation has shown insignificant change. We hope this project will create capacity to ensure change in sustainable sanitation facilities and hygiene services usage."
Early in the morning of 22 September, the community in Dubble village of Sekota Zuria Woreda in Waghimra zone, started to walk in the village with the facilitators of the ignition from one end to the other to locate open defecation areas and build rapport on its sanitation situation after on-the-spot explanation of the purpose of the visit and getting consent to walk inside their village along with them.
Walking through the village, the facilitators suddenly stopped, spotting faeces along the way. In spite of the fact that the villagers from 57 households practiced open defecation, towards the beginning of the visit they denied that open defecation was practised in the community.
In fact, the zone has 13% access to improved sanitation facilities and limited access to development partners working in sanitation and hygiene due to its difficult topography and geographic location and hence the zone has the lowest health service coverage particularly access to water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in the region.
A baseline survey conducted recently by SNV with a sample of 2,186 households in six woredas of the implementation zone reveals that 78.1% of the target households practiced open defecation. Out of the 21.9% households who had access to toilets, 20.1%, 1.6% and 0.2% of them had toilets with slab, without slab and shared facilities respectively. The survey also revealed that male–headed (23.5%) households have relatively better access to toilets than the female-headed (15.4%) as the latter has constraints in the required financial and physical power necessary to dig and construct toilets.
" I know that a toilet is very important for women and children, particularly girls. I had a toilet. I will rebuild it as soon as possible" said Tseganesh Dessie, a single mother who participated in the triggering process using the CLTSH approach.
The community having passed through all the triggering procedures of CLTSH – transect walk, community sanitation mapping, shit calculation, shit flow diagram and water and/or bread exercises – recognised the need for improved sanitation and hygiene, agreed to complete building toilets in their households as well as public areas and to stop defecating openly in their village within 35 days.

Addressing the audience at Cardano Shelley Virtual Summit 2020 Day-1, Vint Cerf, popularly known as the ‘father of the internet’ shared some interesting viewpoints about the internet. However, the internet pioneer did not seem to be too excited about blockchain.
IOHK chief scientist Prof Aggleos Kiayias and senior research fellow Prof Philip Wadler also joined internet pioneer and Google internet evangelist, Vint Cerf on a very interesting panel about ‘Architecting the Internet: What I Would Have Done Differently’.
According to Vint, he should have considered the network scalability. That is because right from the beginning it was clear that the internet would be a global ecosystem. He reflected that he should have asked for a 128 bit IP address base instead of a 32 bit IP address base. With this, he could have avoided the transition of address base in 2011.
Vint emphasized that because of limited equipment and cryptographic protocol, the internet was not very secure. If he had to redesign the internet now, he would focus more on security today.
As per Vint, the blocks of any ecosystem must be mobile and if anything needs to be moved, nothing should break.
Does Vint Cerf find blockchain useful?
The community noticed that Vint seemed to be a little behind on Blockchain Technology. He even called himself a “Blockchain Skeptic”. But that does not mean he condemns the revolutionary technology.
According to him, blockchain finds very good use in transparency applications. However, he is yet to see a scalable blockchain that is ready for real-world use cases.
Interestingly, he is a strong proponent of anonymity, self-sovereign identity management, and cryptography. These are all related to blockchain also.
Governance is a wider term
Vint also shared his thoughts about governance. His viewpoint holds value as he played a pivotal role in unifying the governance model of the internet across the globe. According to Vint, governance is a very wide term. Hence, before establishing a model, it is very important to educate the community.
As a co-developer of TCP/IP protocols and architecture of the internet, his insights are important. These will prove quite fruitful for the Cardano community that is trying to build a global truly decentralized ecosystem. | <urn:uuid:c4563c3f-6513-4bf0-ab76-b16471c4e2ff> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/cryptocurrency-news/spotlight/vint-cerf-is-a-big-fan-of-anonymity/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.961447 | 486 | 2.125 | 2 |
Half (50 per cent) of employees experiencing financial worries believe that the quality of their work is negatively affected as a result, according to a new study*.
The research, based on an August 2018 YouGov survey of 505 HR decision makers from UK private sector organisations, also revealed that half (50 per cent) of those with financial concerns believe they are less creative or less able to complete tasks that should be routine. More than two-thirds (69 per cent) of employees say they face money worries. These can stem from feeling under-prepared for financial emergency (27 per cent), the everyday costs of living (26 per cent) and a lack of preparedness for retirement (21 per cent).
Steven Cameron, pensions director at Aegon, said,
Employees have told us that poor financial wellbeing is harming their productivity at work. Poor financial wellbeing is not only stressful for individuals, but it’s also costing employers millions of working days a year, and billions to the economy.
Approximately half (51 per cent) of respondents told the survey that a lack of employee financial wellbeing, including concerns over long-term saving, retirement plans, budgeting, debt and living costs, is an issue for their organisation; 63 per cent of large employers are concerned about their workers’ ability to save for the future.
More than three-quarters (7 7per cent) of employers revealed that they are not aware of regulations around the difference between financial guidance and advice, and therefore do not know when they might be overstepping the line into advice, which can only be given by a regulated adviser. Almost half (45 per cent) think they would be intruding by approaching employees about it.
However, the research found that 70 per cent of employees would find general information highlighting steps to improve their financial wellbeing useful, while 64 per cent would value face-to-face counselling and support around debt management.
Mr Cameron said,
Clearly, employers want to do more to provide the help their employees need. We need to start a ‘win-win’ conversation about this issue so employees know where they can receive support, and employers feel empowered to give it.

New York (CNN Business) – How crazy rich is Elon Musk?
The Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO’s net worth is now about a stratospheric $300 billion, according to Forbes’ real time rankings of the world’s wealthiest people.
That means the 50-year-old Musk has a more than a $100 billion lead over second place Jeff Bezos, the Amazon (AMZN) founder and owner of Musk’s space rival Blue Origin.
The superlatives don’t stop there. Musk, the newest board member of Twitter (TWTR), is worth more than double the wealth of legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) CEO Warren Buffett, who started investing in 1941 when he was 11. The 91-year old Oracle of Omaha’s net worth now stands at “only” about $125 billion.
Musk is also worth significantly more than the combined fortunes of former Microsoft (MSFT) CEOs Bill Gates ($136 billion) and Steve Ballmer ($100 billion.) Ditto for Google (GOOGL) co-founders Larry Page ($120 billion) and Sergey Brin ($115 billion.)
Is Musk a sports fan? He could buy all 32 National Football League teams (currently worth more than $112 billion, according to data site Sportico) and still have almost $190 billion left over.
And Musk is worth only about $35 billion less than the gross domestic product of his native South Africa, whose GDP is $335 billion, according to the World Bank. Musk’s net worth exceeds the GDPs of Colombia, FInland. Pakistan, Chile and Portugal.
Musk is clearly in uncharted territory when it comes to wealth. He is the richest person ever, according to Forbes.
Still, some historical experts argue that other American industrialists from the 19th and 20th centuries, such as John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, as well as monarchs and rulers like Mansa Musa of the 13th century Mali Empire and Augustus Caesar — who reigned from 27 BC until his death in AD 14 — may have had more wealth when adjusting for inflation. | <urn:uuid:37c369c8-a3aa-49cc-ba48-cbd4c50626d5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cloudflare.egyptindependent.com/elon-musk-is-worth-more-than-twice-warren-buffett-and-has-100-billion-on-jeff-bezos/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953746 | 448 | 1.84375 | 2 |
HealthDay News — Ticks capable of transmitting Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses have been identified in dozens of places across the United States where the pests had never previously been recorded, according to a study published online July 12 in PLOS ONE.
These findings are the result of an unexpectedly successful effort by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation to collect tick samples from across the country. Between January 2016 and August 2017, the foundation and Northern Arizona University offered free tick identification and testing to the general public. People were encouraged to send in ticks they found on themselves, their pets, or around their communities. The researchers’ original goal was to collect about 2,000 ticks; however, they wound up with more than 16,000, sent in by people from every state except Alaska. All told, disease-carrying ticks were detected in 83 counties where they’d never been found before across 24 states.
The 24 states that contain counties with newly documented populations of deer ticks or Western black-legged ticks are Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
“People should be aware of ticks and tick-borne disease, even when they may think there’s not a recorded incidence of a tick in a county,” study author Nathan C. Nieto, Ph.D., of the Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, said in a statement. “These things, they’re not obeying borders. They’re going by biology. If they get moved there by a deer or bird or people or pets, they’re going to establish themselves and start growing.” | <urn:uuid:313b7d48-a609-43e8-b1e2-7ce97f8c3789> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.rheumatologyadvisor.com/home/topics/lyme-disease/lyme-bearing-ticks-more-widespread-in-us-than-thought/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.960068 | 371 | 3.3125 | 3 |

Pope Benedict XVI has prayed for the forthcoming Olympics at the 22 July Angelus from Castel Gandolfo.
“In a few days from now, the Olympic Games are due to begin in Great Britain,” he said.
“I send greetings to the organizers, athletes and spectators alike, and I pray that, in the spirit of the Olympic Truce, the goodwill generated by this international sporting event may bear fruit, promoting peace and reconciliation throughout the world. Upon all those attending the London Olympic Games, I invoke the abundant blessings of Almighty God.”
In Italian, Pope Benedict said:
“The Olympics are the greatest sporting event in the world, at which athletes from a great many nations will participate, and as such they have a strong symbolic value. For this reason the Catholic Church watches them with particular warmth and attention.
We pray that, by the will of God, the London Games will be a true experience of fraternity between the peoples of the earth.” | <urn:uuid:653f4d29-514a-4af1-ae0a-82f9400d3c87> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cbcew.org.uk/pope-prays-for-london-olympics/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.940946 | 205 | 1.78125 | 2 |
As Coppin State University prepares to host a town hall style meeting to discuss the plight of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the West Baltimore institution embodies the mission of the HBCU and the systemic challenges they face. The event, scheduled for 6:30 pm May 13, will examine the implications of the Coalition for Excellence and Equity in Higher Education’s lawsuit against the state of Maryland. A subsequent ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Blake found the state in violation of the U.S. Constitution for operating a system of higher education still rooted in segregation.
“The Coalition lawsuit gives us an opportunity to revisit an issue that has been a part of education from … Brown v. Board and before and we’re still dealing with that now the disparities that exist in higher education,” said Virletta Bryant, associate professor of social work at Coppin.
Bryant is also the school’s faculty senate president, which has taken a leadership role in organizing the HBCU town hall meeting. “There still has not been enough done to close the gap between HBCU and traditionally White institutions. HBCU are still not at parity … whether you look at it from a capital perspective, whether you’re looking at it from a resource perspective whether you’re looking at it from a programmatic perspective,” Bryant said. “Understanding the lawsuit and the needs of Coppin requires one to understand the broader context and the history that shapes this current lawsuit.”
Bryant argues the Coalition lawsuit clearly has broader implications beyond the fate of the four schools – Coppin, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, and Bowie State University – it represents.
“The framers recognize that this is something that has hurt all the HBCU and the response needs to be one that is equal to the framing of the issue. I do know that we as the HBCU community need to increase collaboration and that is something that I have not seen in the past,” she said.
“The good thing is that we have a more diverse pool of people that are going to college or who are applying for college, but we’ve got to position ourselves to be able to meet their needs. And I think that’s something that HBCUs historically have done well and again, they’ve done it with limited resources,” Bryant added.
However, given the current political climate, e.g. the organized political attempt at voter suppression in several states and the recent Supreme Court ruling effectively upholding Michigan’s affirmative action ban, makes fulfilling the mission of the HBCU that much more harrowing in 2014.
“We’re at this point in time where a lot of the things that we have worked for we’re now watching them from the perspective of being in jeopardy,” Bryant said.
“Despite all of the starvation, despite all of the racism HBCUs have experienced since their existence … despite all of those challenges we have still been able to educate and improve the lives of generations. So, I feel that our best days are ahead of us.” | <urn:uuid:8727b5a6-a7d9-46e1-92cc-97720002f4db> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://afro.com/hbcu-town-hall-whats-at-stake/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.963957 | 660 | 1.671875 | 2 |
There has been a great deal of study on the relationship between respiratory ailments and environmental pollution, but for the first time in the UK, it has been suggested that the death of a little girl may be connected to high levels of pollution.
The Attorney General has allowed an application for a new inquest into the asthma-related death of 9-year-old Ella Kissi-Debrah. No individual’s death has ever been linked to illegal levels of air pollution in the UK before so naturally the case is getting a lot of attention.
The BBC reports that Ella lived near one of the busiest roads in London, South Circular Road, which was also known as a notorious pollution “hotpot”. She had been experiencing seizures for three years, starting in 2010 and up until her death in 2013, during which time the local air pollution levels broke through EU legal limits. Since Ella’s fatal seizure occurred when the air pollution spiked again, people starting asking, does pollution kill? After an inquest was conducted, it was found that the official cause of death was acute respiratory failure and severe asthma, directly linked to illegal levels of air pollution. A wider inquest was also done to look into the implications of health risks in the area, as well as what lessons could be learned and what steps could be taken to clean up the air as fast as possible.
While it is believed that this was a pollution-related death and that others in the UK could be at risk of health problems, pollution is one of the largest risks to public health in many countries. Specifically, in Canada there is an estimated 3 million people who are suffering from asthma. Studies have long suggested pollution is a major trigger for asthma. According to Asthma Canada, severe asthma affects between 150,000 and 250,000 Canadians. With proper education, we could help prevent more than 80 percent of asthma deaths. Knowing this, just imagine what increased control and regulations over air pollution could do to prevent severe illnesses and diseases. | <urn:uuid:82189ad0-9150-4fc7-8ae3-4809716c8852> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.spartagroup.ca/can-pollution-kill-children/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.978344 | 411 | 2.609375 | 3 |

The "secret capital" and largest city of La Palma (22,000 inhabitants) lies on a fertile plain between banana plantations, avocado trees, almond trees, and fig trees. The deep gorge Barranco de las Angustias and the Caldera de Taburiente are not far away.
Literally translated Los Llanos de Aridane means "the plains of the plain". The Spanish conquerors of La Palma did not know the language of the locals well in the beginning and did not know that Aridane already meant plain.

Puerto Naos beach, with its fine black sand and one of the two most important tourist centers of La Palma, belongs to this municipal area. On the stretch between Los Llanos and Puerto Naos, there are attractive apartments, holiday homes, and fincas in the surroundings of the small villages (La Laguna, Las Norias, Todoque), which are inhabited by tourists and numerous German residents. Todoque, Triana or La Laguna are also the names of the volcanic cones that rose here even before the holiday homes were built.
Aridane valley - Fertile plain
Some coastal areas in the municipality (such as Las Manchas) are still covered by the lava of San Juan (erupted in 1949). This zone is today one of the most important in the Canary Islands for banana cultivation. 40 percent of La Palma's bananas are grown in the Los Llanos de Aridane area. Even if it doesn't rain so often in the Aridane valley, there is enough water for the cultivation of even demanding exotic fruits. The water is transported and distributed by a branched irrigation system from the mountains and mainly from the caldera. | <urn:uuid:bd6cc8d7-a281-4b10-9288-814d1fcba072> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.lapalma.de/en/Municipality-Los-Llanos-de-Aridane | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.925695 | 375 | 2.890625 | 3 |
Editor's Note: February is Black History Month, and that's important for all of us. Together we celebrate, especially in February, the amazing contributions African Americans have made to our society. Julia A.J. Foote is a perfect example. She was a trailblazer for all the women God has gifted to lead. Enjoy this reflection on her life and what her legacy means for women leaders today. —Amy Jackson
Her momma said she shouldn’t.
Her husband didn’t like it.
Her pastor wasn’t thrilled.
But Julia Foote felt she had no choice. She was called to preach, and preach she would.
Julia A.J. Foote (1823–1900) was the fourth child of former slaves. She began her young life as many African American women in that century, facing obstacles from a society that segregated based on skin color and placed limits on women leadership roles. She grew up in Schenectady, New York, which was segregated at the time. Her family was staunchly Methodist and equally committed to education, which Foote pursued with abandon through voracious reading. Later, when Foote’s parents hired her out as a servant to a white family, she attended two years in a country school when the family used their influence to secure her a seat. Foote’s only formal education was two short years in that school around the age of ten.
She immersed herself in her Christian faith as a young girl by reading the Bible, and at age 15, she had a conversion experience that lit her fire for the Lord. Just three years later, she married. The couple never had children, and Foote poured all her energies into ministry.
Soon she felt a call to preach and wanted to speak at her church, but her pastor refused, so Foote took the matter to overseeing church authorities, who likewise refused her a place at the pulpit. She was expelled from her church in 1844.
As a result, Foote struck out on her own.
Foote’s mother and father were mortified, though they had equally showcased tremendous propensity toward non-conformity themselves in their early lives. Foote’s mother was born a slave but refused one of her master’s advances, resulting in a notable whipping. When she boldly reported the master to his wife, she was traded. Foote’s father was a strong man who earned side wages in order to buy freedom for himself, his wife, and their infant child. This was the strong heritage into which Julia Foote was born.
Julia respected the church, but felt its stand regarding women in leadership was misguided. Foote once said, “When Paul said, ‘Help those women who labor with me in the gospel,’ he certainly meant that they did more than to pour out tea!” She felt one thing trumped man’s call on her life: God’s call on her life. Foote insisted on loyalty to that, and she eagerly encouraged other women to follow God’s call. | <urn:uuid:1e854ee8-ac7f-4cb6-ad95-60393989b322> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.christianitytoday.com/women-leaders/2016/february/dont-take-no-for-answer.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.989748 | 643 | 3.421875 | 3 |
This year I sat on a panel of young professionals that were asked to give our best pieces of advice to our summer interns. Daunted by the task of giving any young, ambitious college co-ed advice (and honestly, trying to make my best boss lady impression) I asked myself, “what’s one thing that I wish someone had told me at their age?”
Turns out it was simple: life is not a pie.
Now don’t get me wrong, pie is delicious and it serves a purpose, especially when it’s à la mode, but it truly should have no place in your career. To put it simply, just because someone gets something does not mean that there is less for you to have. There is room for us to support one another and lift each other up as we build our empires. If life is a pie, then that means there is a finite amount of opportunity to grow, and that could not be farther from the truth. We are often bred in corporate environments to compete and to strive for more and better. I personally have no problem with either of those things; I enjoy competition and trying to find the best new way to improve myself, as long as I keep that simple rule in mind: life is not a pie.
I don’t mean this as just some lofty mantra that helps you grin and bear it through the rough parts of the week; it has practical and tangible effects on your career:
You will have a stronger, more loyal team
Let’s be honest, we all have a favorite manager. They may not be ours, but we know who they are. They are the leaders who make you feel like they are in the trenches with you. The people who you are willing to stay a little bit later for, because you know at the end of the day that they have your back. Those managers understand that they will do what it takes to nurture and develop you; to get you where you need to be. In return, we dedicate ourselves to the work, and we try our best to prove them right about how great we are and we cherish their feedback. Maybe not always in the moment, but eventually. That type of leader is fostering an environment where there is not a finite amount of opportunity that needs to be competed for. Instead, it is a constructive place where you can fail fast, learn from your mistakes, and continue to get ahead. I mean, I want to work for that person! Strike that, I want to be that person.
I celebrate my team and my colleagues on their victories. I make my own path, not by waiting for someone else to give me an opportunity, but by identifying a need and making one up for myself.
You will prove you are a positive leader with your mind on company growth
We need to remember that we have an opportunity as young professionals to dictate the culture that we work in. This is an opportunity to take ownership not only of our careers, but the products that we produce, and to instill a sense of pride in that work amongst our teams. By inspiring the people around us to continue to find ways to grow and proving that their successes will be celebrated rather than envied, we can foster a commitment to work that we are doing. As we each achieve things, it will only make the work better. By opening doors for the people around us, listening to their ideas, and providing them with the support that they need in order to achieve more, we create new opportunities for ourselves as well.
You will never forget about your own shine
I want to be very clear that what I am not saying here is that you should stop fighting for yourself and what you want. On the contrary, you should use that precious, rowdy, take-no-prisoners voice of yours at every opportunity you get. You are bright and bold, and at the end of the day, you are the only person who can ensure that everyone else around you sees that as well. Acknowledge those bright and bold things in the people that surround you, and know that even if someone else is burning brightly, your own shine can never be diminished.
It is inevitable that there will be days when that thing you have been working for – a promotion, a new project, a pat on the back – will go to someone else. The best leaders recognize this as an opportunity. It is a chance to create something new for yourself. Sometimes that will mean talking to your mentor to see if you can identify new goals, or collaborating with a teammate to take on a different project. Other times it will mean you need to venture out into something new. What will make you great is when you can recognize that setbacks have not limited the amount that you can accomplish. Your limits cannot be dictated by what other people achieve.
This, in my experience, is how we make real change in our workplaces; this is how we end those disturbing patriarchal stereotypes of how women work together and what they can achieve. We lift each other up and lead by this example, because supporting other people is not a weakness — it is a strength. I am a Black woman who works for a large corporate tech company, so trust me when I say that very often life feels like a pie. When I feel that way, I remind myself that I am not small, and the scope of what I am capable of cannot be confined by someone else’s tacky pie tin — and neither can yours!
So, I celebrate my team and my colleagues on their victories. I make my own path, not by waiting for someone else to give me an opportunity, but by identifying a need and making one up for myself. I find my support system; I prioritize ensuring that those around me receive the exposure and resources that they need; and I know that there is so much to go around — because life is not a … well, you get it. I prefer ice cream anyway. | <urn:uuid:5c6bd331-1a2f-4436-bed8-22d383145390> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theeverygirl.com/life-is-not-a-pie/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.97509 | 1,217 | 1.523438 | 2 |
Bodies of ‘hundreds’ of children buried in mass grave – BBC News
The bodies of hundreds of children are believed to be buried in a mass grave in Lanarkshire, southern Scotland, according to an investigation by BBC News.
The children were all residents of a care home run by Catholic nuns.
At least 400 children are thought to be buried in a section of St Mary’s Cemetery in Lanark.
The Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, which ran the home, refused to comment on the findings.
The research by the File on 4 programme in conjunction with the Sunday Post newspaper focused on Smyllum Park Orphanage in Lanark.
It opened in 1864 and provided care for orphans or children from broken homes. It closed in 1981, having looked after 11,600 children.
A burial plot, containing the bodies of a number of children, was uncovered by two former residents of Smyllum in 2003.
Frank Docherty and Jim Kane discovered an overgrown, unmarked section of St Mary’s Cemetery during their efforts to reveal physical abuse which they said many former residents had suffered.
In 2004, the campaigners said the Daughters of Charity told them their records suggested that children had been buried in 158 compartments in the graveyard.
Frank and Jim, who both died earlier this year, believed however, that the numbers were far higher as the nuns had indicated their records were incomplete.
The investigation by File on 4 and the Sunday Post indicates they were right; at least 400 children are understood to be buried in the plot.
“Oh my God, I’ve got goose pimples. It’s shocking,” said Frank Docherty’s widow, Janet.
“He had been trying for years to find a figure and he didn’t get anywhere. That’s unbelievable.”
The death records indicate that most of the children died of natural causes, from diseases common at the time such as TB, pneumonia and pleurisy.
Analysis of the records show that a third of those who died were aged five or under. Very few of those who died, 24 in total, were aged over 15, and most of the deaths occurred between 1870 and 1930.
One of those believed to be buried there is Francis McColl. He died in 1961, aged 13; his death certificate indicates he died from a brain haemorrhage.
His brother Eddie spent decades wondering what had happened to Francis. At one point, he heard he’d been struck on the head by a golf club, which now chimes with the evidence of the death certificate.
But Eddie could find no trace of where his brother had been buried.
“It’s ridiculous,” he says. “I’m not happy about that. Whoever is behind this, I hope they can live with themselves.”
Many allegations of abuse at the care home were also uncovered by File on 4 and the Sunday Post, including beatings, punches, public humiliations and psychological abuse.
This case mirrors the investigation into the Tuam mother and baby home, an Irish institution run by a religious order, where it is thought nearly 800 babies and young children died and were buried in unmarked graves between the 1920s and 1960s.
What happened at Smyllum is one of the topics that the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry is examining.
Two representatives of the Daughters of Charity gave evidence to the inquiry this summer in which they said they could find no records of any abuse taking place.
The nuns refused to respond to detailed questions from reporters about how many people were buried in the mass grave.
In a statement, they said they were “co-operating fully” with the Child Abuse Inquiry and that they believed that was the “best and most appropriate forum for such investigations”.
They continued: “…as Daughters of Charity our values are totally against any form of abuse and thus, we offer our most sincere and heartfelt apology to anyone who suffered any form of abuse whilst in our care”.
How the figures were calculated
Since 1855, there has been a legal duty in Scotland to register a death.
Those death records are available for scrutiny at the National Records for Scotland office in Edinburgh. The records contain details such as the name and age of the deceased as well as what they died of and their usual place of residence.
After focusing on those people under 18 who’d been resident at Smyllum, the BBC and Sunday Post checked local burial records for Lanark, which today are held with South Lanarkshire Council.
They found no evidence that the dead had been buried.
Some children were sent to the home from other places across central Scotland, so spot checks were also made with a number of other areas. Burial records were discovered in Glasgow for two of the dead. No other area we approached could find any burial record for the names we asked them to check.
As the Daughters of Charity have previously indicated that children were buried in an unmarked plot at the cemetery, and that their records are incomplete, all the bodies are believed to be buried in the graveyard.
The method is a replica of that used to expose a mass grave in the Irish Republic.
File on 4: The Secrets of Smyllum Park is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday 12 September 2017 at 20:00 BST. You can also catch up on the BBC iPlayer.

“Can you tell me what this is?” asks this reader in her submission regarding the long, white objects pictured below. “I found it on the steps to my deck in Mansfield, Ohio. They look like long blonde hair but some of it moves like a worm. Thank you for your time!” Now, if we were to assume that these are organisms, and look only at the photograph our reader sent in, we would suggest these could be horsehair worms, as they can look like this – like long strands of “blonde hair”.
That said, having seen the video our reader sent in, we are going to have to disagree with her on one point – they do not move like worms at all. In fact, the only part of these worms that moves in the video is one bent ‘piece’ that is sticking up in the air and which seems to be ‘swaying’ in the wind, which is all we think it is doing. And for that reason, we are more inclined to think these might just be pieces of dry grass, rather than worms. They likely just blew onto our reader’s yard from somewhere: maybe a neighbor recently cut their grass. Additionally, if these were horsehair worms, then all of the ‘worms’ would be moving, and they would be writhing around each other in a far messier tangle – they are not nicknamed ‘Gordian worms’ for no reason. This name comes from the myth of the legendary Gordian knot that Alexander the Great cut with his sword.
With all of this said, if our reader is absolutely convinced these are worms, then we suggest she get a second opinion. She can put a few of the worms in a box with air holes and take them to her local county extension office. There someone will be able to physically examine the worms and may have a better chance at identifying them. Additionally, if any of our other readers have any insight about this that they want to share, they are more than welcome to do so in the comments section below.
To conclude, we do not think these strands of “blonde hair” are worms at all, but probably just pieces of grass. We can understand that these do slightly resemble worms, and we bet they gave our reader quite the scare, but we do not think she has anything to worry about. Even if they were horsehair worms, these worms, while being parasites of insects, do not take humans as hosts. We hope the information we provided proves helpful, and we wish our reader the very best!

UNITED STATES—As technology evolves, so does our understanding of the world around us and there is NO DOUBT that health and the human body have been more studied than anything else.
In 2014, 45 percent of Americans said that poor sleep was affecting their daily activities.
Huffington Post writer Carolyn Gregoire has been actively writing about the importance of sleep and tells us that the Circadian rhythm has been implicated in affecting physical, behavioral, and psychological ups and downs throughout the day.
In Why Noise Could Be the Secret to Better Sleep, Gregoire describes how using a noise machine could be good for people forced to sleep with “disruptive sounds that might wake us up, like snoring, traffic outside our window or a neighbor playing music.”
Lack of sleep can leave a person with the same mental impairments as someone who is drunk! Not only that, but the same National Public Radio segment says that the sleep we miss is cumulative: every hour lost must be made up!
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke have put out a VERY comprehensive writing that covers why exactly our bodies NEED SLEEP and frighteningly, the CDC is reporting a plethora of ailments that are caused or aggravated by bad sleeping habits, including: “hypertension, diabetes, depression, and obesity, as well as from cancer, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life and productivity.”
But what did our foremothers and fathers think about sleep?
Bigthink’s Natalie Shoemaker tells us that it wasn’t until the invention of artificial light in the 19th century, that people started sleeping for one long period rather than two main sleep periods and modern sleep studies do confirm that sleep is very affected by exposure to daylight.
David Roach tells us that the bible does have an opinion: too much sleep is a sign of LAZINESS and if a person is having trouble sleeping it could be a sign that there is “a lack of trust in the lord.”
In closing, I would like to say that as someone with chronic PTSD and subsequent depression, I cannot tell you how important sleep is to those of us with mental health issues. It seems to me that if the body is not “full” and running at a tired pace, it is easier for the negativity to creep in.
One of the first things I tell young mothers when I recognize the familiarity of mental illness, depression, and being overwhelmed, is that they MUST get sleep.
If food is fuel for the body then sleep is the electricity for the brain.
I will leave you with the words of 16th-century Don Quixote, author, Miguel de Cervantes, who may have described the miraculous powers of sleep best:
“Blessings on him who first invented sleep. It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak. It is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It makes the shepherd equal to the monarch and, and a fool to the wise.“ | <urn:uuid:a475b8e7-438b-489b-a16d-73cc1f5a1561> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.canyon-news.com/evolution-of-understanding-sleep/51348 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967677 | 641 | 2.84375 | 3 |
|The Chariot - You can achieve your goal if you will
just keep trying. Progress can be made now - obstacles overcome and
success gained through personal dynamism. Control your emotions and your
dreams will come true - remove all the obstacles so you will have the
vision to move forward. You are due recognition and honor - harness all
your energy and apply it wisely so that you will be able to make your
point. Allow your soul to direct your body - be receptive to both the
negative and the positive - control and balance them. Rest now, reflect
and turn inward for analysis, solitude, health and physical completion
without effort. Issues are coming to a head now - maintain control - wait,
listen and avoid pushing your affairs. Accept that you are "in"
the world but not "of" the world - find the "force"
within you through a quiet and receptive state of mind. "Ego" is
your conscious mind, your physical self-image - it forms the
"surface" identity which directs your views and focus - it is a
vehicle used to express your soul. Your ego continually changes as your
beliefs about yourself change - it successfully controls a situation, but
never brings the contradictions together so that they can be resolved.
Trust and work in harmony with your "way" and you will reach
your goal. Honor your achievements and dedicate yourself to even higher
Harness all your energies toward your purpose - you will experience true victory once your spirit has found a focus through which it can release its total force. Shut out what is keeping you from reaching your goals. Once your lessons have been absorbed and you have become a mature adult - successful in life, admired by others, confident and content with yourself - able to control your feelings and direct your will as your strong character controls the opposing forces of life. No longer a victim of your emotions - your sexuality contributes to a satisfying life as your mental energy directs your passions and controls your instinctive desires. Individualization is the gradual birth of another "self" higher than your "ego" self. As you mature - you create a kind of mask to deal with the outside world. If you have dealt successfully with the various challenges that life has presented you - then these different aspects will become integrated into your "ego" mask. You can easily confuse this successful persona with your "true" Self (a high opinion of yourself which is not justified - an exaggerated desire to have your own way or an exaggerated importance of "self"). If this occurs - then the removal of this mask will create the fear that its removal could possibly result in death. Challenge yourself and with the heart, will and courage of a warrior, exorcise your inner demon of fear which is the greatest obstacles to life and growth.
Recognize that you "mirror" the actions and emotional feelings of those around you - you are receptive and sensitive to emotions. You have put on a mask of detachment for your own self- protection. Imagine yourself beyond human limitations. "Speech" restricts your experience of reality - it forms a description of the world and gives everything a label. When you accept this "label", you actually erect a barrier between yourself and an experience. This "label" replaces the thing itself - when you see a tree, you think "tree" and move on - rather than allowing yourself to experience the impact of this wonderful living organism. As you come to rely on this rationality - you will begin to ignore experiences that cannot be expressed in words. Always remain conscious of the "distance" and "difference" between your human consciousness and the Divine consciousness - for only in a state of humility will God draw near to you.

Updated May 18, 2020
As many companies are likely aware by now, Small Business Administration (SBA) loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provide aid to qualifying small businesses in the form of loans with terms favorable to borrowers, including, in particular, provisions that allow potentially the entire loan amount to be forgiven if the proceeds are spent on payroll and other qualifying expenses. The PPP, which we have written about previously, is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). There are many paths to qualifying as a small business under the CARES Act, one of which is if the company (with its affiliates) has 500 or fewer employees.
Early guidance issued by both the SBA and the Treasury Department (the “Treasury”) after enactment of the CARES Act indicated that under this PPP-specific 500-employee size standard, only those employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States are included in the size calculation. Specifically, Interim Final Rule originally published on April 2, 2020, states the following:
2. What Do Borrowers Need to Know and Do?
a. Am I eligible?
You are eligible for a PPP loan if you have 500 or fewer employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States, or are a business that operates in a certain industry and meet the applicable SBA employee-based size standards for that industry.
3. Question: Does my business have to qualify as a small business concern (as defined in section 3 of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 632) in order to participate in the PPP?
Answer: No. In addition to small business concerns, a business is eligible for a PPP loan if the business has 500 or fewer employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States, or the business meets the SBA employee-based size standards for the industry in which it operates (if applicable). Similarly, PPP loans are also available for qualifying tax-exempt nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), tax-exempt veterans organization described in section 501(c)(19) of the IRC, and Tribal business concerns described in section 31(b)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act that have 500 or fewer employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States, or meet the SBA employee-based size standards for the industry in which they operate
In other words, the rule and previous FAQ guidance both suggest that only employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States will count toward the size of a concern under the PPP’s 500-employee size standard. However, on May 5, 2020 (a month after the above guidance had been published), the Treasury and the SBA added the following FAQ #44:
44. Question: How do SBA’s affiliation rules at 13 C.F.R. 121.301(f) apply with regard to counting the employees of foreign and U.S. affiliates?
Answer: For purposes of the PPP’s 500 or fewer employee size standard, an applicant must count all of its employees and the employees of its U.S and foreign affiliates, absent a waiver of or an exception to the affiliation rules. 13 C.F.R. 121.301(f)(6). Business concerns seeking to qualify as a “small business concern” under section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632) on the basis of the employee-based size standard must do the same.
Although this Answer doesn’t explicitly state that concerns have to count the foreign employees of the applicant and those of its foreign affiliates, the statement that all employees must be counted without inclusion of the clarifying “whose principal place of residence is in the United States” language seems to suggest that foreign employees count toward PPP’s “500 or fewer” size standard. Such a position would be completely inconsistent with the SBA’s and Treasury’s earlier guidance, which still appears in the current FAQs.
Recognizing this inconsistency, earlier today SBA issued a new rule on eligibility for companies with foreign affiliates. SBA has now made clear that all employees of foreign affiliates (not just those employees in the U.S.) need to be counted in determining eligibility for a PPP loan. Importantly, however, because SBA acknowledges that its guidance on this point has been inconsistent, SBA has provided yet another safe harbor. If a company with foreign affiliates applied for its loan prior to May 5 and only included U.S.-based employees in the employee count, it will not be deemed to have made an inaccurate certification:
However, as an exercise of enforcement discretion due to reasonable borrower confusion based on SBA guidance (which was later resolved through a clarifying FAQ on May 5, 2020), SBA will not find any borrower that applied for a PPP loan prior to May 5, 2020 to be ineligible based on the borrower’s exclusion of non-U.S employees from the borrower’s calculation of its employee headcount if the borrower (together with its affiliates) had no more than 500 employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States. Such borrowers shall not be deemed to have made an inaccurate certification of eligibility solely on that basis. Under no circumstances may PPP funds be used to support non-U.S. workers or operations.
In other words, if the company’s application pre-dates May 5, this should not be a concern, but if later, and the company has foreign employees or foreign affiliate employees that bring it over the 500 employee threshold, the company is ineligible for a PPP loan.
Note that for companies electing to use the employee-based size standard set by their primary NAICS code, all employees (not just those employees residing in the United States), must be included in the size calculation.
All prior FAQs were consolidated into a single document on the Treasury CARES Act website on May 6, 2020. Importantly, the FAQs do not carry the force and effect of law independent of the statute and regulations on which they are based. | <urn:uuid:8c3fa562-1382-4cc1-adbe-7340a7030bae> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://govcon.mofo.com/topics/are-foreign-employees-included-in-calculating-size-for-ppps-500-employee-size-standard-new-guidance-makes-the-answer-unclear_01 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965322 | 1,304 | 1.546875 | 2 |

Understanding Session Recommendations
Sessions in Grip can be recommended, but do not have to be. Sessions not listed as being recommendable will not be recommended. Recommendations will appear in a users agenda, with the ability/option to then add them to your schedule.
Recommendations are produced when specific changes happen, or daily if no relevant changes occur. A maximum of 10 recommendations is made in a day, to stop users from being deluged and thus ignoring recommendations.
What are Recommendations based on
Recommendations are primarily based on expressions of interest. These expressions can come in various forms.
Connections with Speakers
This is relatively rare, but if a person has a connection with a speaker at a session, this is considered a strong expression of interest. Not only are you interested in the speaker, but they are interested in you, and thus likely a first choice attendee. Any sessions they speak at would likely be recommended if possible.
Interest swipe on Speakers
It is more common for a person to express interest in a speaker - since that does not also require the interaction of the speaker. This is also considered an expression of interest and will be used to create recommendations. Sessions they speak at will be recommended to that individual if possible.
AI-based interest in speakers
Perhaps more abstractly, recommendations of sessions are also made if the AI has identified a reason you would be interested in the speaker. Typically it needs more information about you to make this decision to the certainty needed here, so it is rarer. However, some recommendations are created based on this expected interest.
If you provide a list of topic subjects a person is interested in, that is another expression of interest. This is relatively new and currently underused functionality. For now, it only involves matching the explicitly listed topics of interest and the session topics given.
This method uses session tags; descriptions of session topics given to us and stored in our database. Session tags can be used for multiple things, and store various data about the session, however, if using the key 'topic-tags', these are interpreted as content tags for matching.
These 'topic-tags' values will be matched with values in the profile metadata field key 'session_topics_interested', thus for a recommendation to be made there must both be topic tags for the session, and the matching values in the profile's metadata with the key 'session_topics_interested'.
By including both of these key-value pairs into an event and into specific sessions (with exactly matching values), the organiser can gain some control over session recommendations going to this specific set of people. This can be used to send sessions to people interested in a topic (note: only a maximum of the top 10 of these will be sent to an individual each day), or potentially to everyone in a particular group if the values were automatically placed into the metadata by the organiser.
These 'session_topics_interested' are not visible in profile recommendations as reasons to meet, nor are they searchable, filterable or free-form text. They are partially used to help identify similar users when making profile recommendations but are not used directly to make these recommendations.
Speed sessions are a little different from other types of sessions as they do not have speakers and are instead sets of one:one auto-generated meetings for the people attending the session.
These will be specifically recommended if any of your connections, or people you have expressed interest in have added these sessions to their schedules. That is a good expression of interest as not only is your connection/interest swipe present, but it is likely that there will be people similar to them present as well - making it likely that you will have an interest in others attending this session as well.
Speed sessions will also be recommended preferentially to those who can attend as a form of backfill since experience has shown these sessions can be a great return on time for many session attendees, often producing numerous good meetings & connections in a short interval and often used as an introductory ‘getting to know you’ feature though they are also well matched to particular topics of interest.
We also make recommendations based on the actions of people similar to you. Similar in this context can mean a variety of things.
- Similar metadata values (e.g. services interested, product categories interested, etc).
- Similar sessions added to schedule / attended
- Have shown similar interest preferences - e.g. made similar swipes on other users/products etc.
In all cases, we can use these similar people and by using any sessions they have added to their agendas we can make recommendations for the user of interest.
As a final addition:
We have recently decided to add a final ‘backfill’ to the session recommendations. Previously despite all of the above, some users received no recommendations, while it was also possible for some sessions to not be recommended to anyone. To reduce these occurrences, we now say that if a user has no recommendations they are given a single session as a recommendation (if available), with a preference for sessions rarely or never recommended previously.
Are companies/sponsors recommended as well?
Currently no, though there are plans to take sessions & session recommendations more into account for profile recommendations in the near future.
How can we “tag” sessions, so that they can be recommended according to the answers to the onboarding questions
Session tags for recommendations should always have the key 'topic_tags'. The matching metadata in profiles should be
Is there any way to manipulate the session recommendations in such a way as to be made to everyone in a specific group
Theoretically yes - if a specific metadata value e.g. 'key_group_1' was inserted into the 'session_topics_interested' field for a profile and the same was included as a 'topic-tag' for a session, then this session would be preferentially recommended to people in the group.
It is however possible some of them will not receive it - as there are other parts to the recommendations which may lead to them getting full sets, not including those sessions. However, it is likely most if not all members would get these recommendations. | <urn:uuid:aa225cf0-ae8c-4ce3-abb6-82b23ab14f16> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://support.grip.events/hc/en-us/articles/4406614728593-Session-Recommendations | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.94571 | 1,288 | 1.851563 | 2 |
theateruebersetzen.de is an information and knowledge platform for translators and theater professionals. The aim is to make the many aspects of theater translation more visible in the public discourse, to network actors and to strengthen the associated practice. The three main topics THEATER+ÜBERSETZUNG, THEATER+TEXT and THEATER+TRANSFER and form the basis for the research and interaction offer here, where information is provided on topics such as contemporary drama, drama translation, theater practice and transmission.
Digital exchange formats and subject-specific events in the individual subject areas, but also on general focal points of international theater work, additionally provide the opportunity to orientate oneself on daily and current discourses and thematic focal points.
This combination of exchange and information is intended to strengthen international mobility and ensure the continuous provision of differentiated, reliable and up-to-date information.
From July 2022, in addition to DIALOG- and WERKRAUM, another reading format for interested translators and theater makers will start.
In the LESERAUM, two recent texts from the field of contemporary German-language drama will be presented. Participants will read excerpts from each text together and then discuss the text itself and the possibilities of its translation into other languages.
The first three dates will be devoted to texts that have already been acted out, and we will consider the question of whether there is a connection between acted out and translation.
September 7, 2022
16.00 -17.30 CET/CEST
The cat Eleonore by Caren Jeß (S. Fischer)

Moderation: Ulrike Syha
Free of charge via ZOOM. No preparation is necessary.
Click here to register.
With DIALOGRAUM, the team of theateruebersetzen.de offers an online exchange format once a month for all translators from German and into German. In this second meeting, the focus is on the texts nominated for the Mülheim KinderStückePreis in 2022. The plays and authors will be introduced in a discussion with Thomas Irmer. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to discuss related questions.
Further dates are planned for the 2nd half of the year! More information soon and on www.theateruebersetzen.de
The focus of the WERKRAUM series is the deepening of individual questions from the practice of translation. For example, topics from the DIALOGRAUM exchange format can be examined in more detail using a specific selection of texts. Also conceivable are thematic or formal focal points such as overwriting, comedy, adaptation, postdramatic writing, dialogic writing, textual surface ..., the concentration on certain authors or language families, and much more.
Further dates are planned for the 2nd half of the year!

New Insights into the Molecular Mechanisms of Islet Dysfunction in Human Diabetes
Walker, John T.
Pancreatic islets are central in the control of blood glucose and their dysfunction is a hallmark of diabetes. Incomplete knowledge of islet biology currently prevents diagnostic and therapeutic approaches based on molecular features in most forms of diabetes. Furthermore, there are significant experimental barriers to translation, including the difficulty in obtaining and mechanistically studying primary human islets which have known differences between common model systems. Thus, the primary goal of my research was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of human islet dysfunction in numerous forms of diabetes. Our team developed new approaches to mechanistically study human islets and pancreatic tissue, allowing us to manipulate the systemic environment and alter cellular and molecular features of the islet. To understand the pathogenesis of post-transplantation diabetes, we defined how immunosuppressive agents cause β cell dysfunction in vivo that is both reversible and preventable. We further highlighted the utility of in vivo models by showing that SGLT2 inhibitors, a commonly used diabetes medication, act indirectly on human islets through changes in blood glucose. To achieve efficient genetic and cellular manipulation of the human islet, we developed a novel pseudoislet system. Using genetically-encoded biosensors and a microfluidic device, we demonstrated cell-specific GPCR signaling pathways and investigated the formation and function of α cell-enriched pseudoislets. To identify critical features of human diabetes, we performed integrated analyses of tissue and islets, highlighting atypical findings of substantial insulin secretion in isolated islets from a donor with type 1 diabetes. We also used this integrative approach to identify disease driving mechanisms in human type 2 diabetes (T2D) and showed that β cell dysfunction, rather than loss, defines early T2D and that this is characterized by a disrupted islet microenvironment and RFX6-mediated transcriptional dysregulation. Given the substantial role of islet-enriched transcription factors in multiple forms of diabetes, we utilized both single cell RNA-seq and shRNA knockdown experiments to investigate transcriptional regulatory networks and islet function controlled by RFX6, MAFA, MAFB, and ARX. Overall, my work provides new molecular insights into islet physiology and pathophysiology and paves the way for more effective and precise diagnosis and treatment of individuals with diabetes. | <urn:uuid:d94131f7-b9af-4163-b703-63ca4efc9ca6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ir.vanderbilt.edu/handle/1803/16746 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.909196 | 508 | 1.84375 | 2 |
Who is John Zerzan?June 25, 2021
John Zerzan is an American anarcho-primitivist writer. One of the leading activists of the anti-globalization movement in the USA, Zerzan graduated from the Stanford University School of Political Science and the San Francisco State University Department of History.
Zerzan, who was arrested and imprisoned for a while due to his anti-Vietnam War actions by taking part in the student movement during his university years, later left the academic circles and took part in union activities in the San Francisco region as a truck driver and carpenter.
With the cessation of the 68 movement, Zerzan realized that the rise in the 60s was limited and that the criticism towards the system was not deep enough, began to question the phenomenon of revolution. He started his history studies on the origin of industrialization and the nature of technology in the 70s, and focused on modern history and anthropology. Questioning civilization and symbolic culture as a whole in the 80s, Zerzan went down to the roots of alienation and civilization and began to concentrate on time, language, numbers, art and agriculture.
Currently living in Eugene, USA, Zerzan is actively involved in the local anarchist movement, in addition to his general work questioning civilization and symbolic culture as a whole.
A permanent contributor to Anarchy, one of the major anarchist publications in America, Zerzan’s major works include Future Primitive, Elements Of Refusal, Questioning Technology co-edited with Alice Carnes, and Against Civilization. ).
Questioning civilization and symbolic culture in his works, Zerzan still lives in the USA. | <urn:uuid:7c193fd4-a7f0-4c7f-8236-2c2b5b5e1db2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.123philosophy.com/who-is-john-zerzan/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.962381 | 333 | 1.617188 | 2 |
Soldering from SHINE is an important part of your custom cable assembly or wire harnessing project. We employ a highly-trained workforce that’s skilled in soldered terminations and solder connections. Our facility is RoHS compliant, too.
What Is Soldering?
Soldering forms strong, reliable connections between metal components such as a wire and a terminal. Solder, a type of filler metal with a relatively low melting point, is heated until it flows into the joint.
Good solder joints have a smooth appearance that’s free of scratches and sharp edges. As an experienced provider of wire and cable processing services, SHINE follows standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620 for soldered terminations and solder connections.
Good solder joints have a smooth appearance that’s free of scratches and sharp edges. As an experienced provider of wire and cable products, SHINE follows standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620 for soldered terminals and solder connections.
SHINE uses soldering pots or tinning pots for melting solder and tinning the ends of lead wires. The American Beauty solder pots that we use provide reliable temperature control and support precise temperature settings for solder or tinning projects.
Irons vs. Soldering Stations
Soldering irons are handheld tools with a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Typically, they’re used in very low volume production. Soldering stations like the 25+ Oki / Metcal units used at SHINE offer numerous advantages. For example, they support various sizes, shapes, and temperature tips for most any solder-related requirement.
Choose Soldering from SHINE
SHINE is an ISO 9001:2015-certified electronic contract manufacturer of custom cable assemblies, wire harnesses, and electro-mechanical assemblies. Since 1984, we’ve been providing partners with wire and cable products that exceed their expectations. How can we help you?

Ethernet over NG-PDH: Easing Mobile Backhaul Migration
In expectation of increased use of mobile data services, mobile operators are planning to migrate their mobile network infrastructure to a fully packet-based network. Mobile backhaul is a particular area of focus, as it accounts for up to 40 percent of total operational cost.
This paper describes a new mobile backhaul solution referred to as “Ethernet over Next Generation PDH” (NG-PDH), which is attracting the interest of several service providers and equipment vendors. Ethernet over NG-PDH is based on the same GFP, VCAT and LCAS technology used in Ethernet over NG-SONET/SDH. The technology’s main advantage is robust packet transport leading to fewer dropped packets, predictable low overhead and up to 20 percent greater throughput. This paper explains how Ethernet over NG-PDH enables efficient bandwidth utilization and provides the basis for a smooth migration to a fully packet-based network.

Could you have an addiction to antidepressants?
Take this confidential antidepressants use disorder assessment.
What Is Ambien (Zolpidem)?
Ambien is a sedative-hypnotic drug that is prescribed to treat insomnia. Similar to drugs like Lunesta and Sonata, Ambien is designed to be a temporary sleep aid and is not meant to be taken on a long-term basis. Although it is marketed as being a less-addictive and habit-forming drug than many benzodiazepines, Ambien users may still become dependent and addicted to the drug.
Ambien works by binding to neuroreceptors that slow brain activity. This, in turn, helps the user fall asleep more easily and stay asleep. It comes in tablet form and is designed to be taken immediately before the user goes to bed. Other brand names for the drug Zolpidem include:
Ambien is a Schedule IV controlled substance, which means it does have a potential for abuse. Although abuse of the drug may start off innocently (ie. taking an extra one for a little more help sleeping), taking more than the prescribed amount can lead to tolerance and dependency. In addition to the normal Ambien side effects, individuals may also find that they experience euphoria when they take Ambien without going to sleep immediately afterward. Of those who abuse it, many do so because it can cause feelings of euphoria as well as hallucinations when it is misused.
Is Ambien a Narcotic?
No, Ambien is not a narcotic. It is a sedative-hypnotic and a depressant drug. However, much like narcotics, Ambien interacts with the brain in a way that produces calming side effects, which can ultimately lead to addiction.
Slang for Ambien
The following terms are street names or slang for Ambien:
- Zombie pills
- Tic Tacs
Can You Get High On Ambien?
Yes, you can get high on Ambien. If you take large doses of Ambien, you’ll get high in a very short amount of time (often within 30 minutes). Normal doses of Ambien can produce calming and sedating effects but if you abuse Ambien by snorting or injecting it, these effects will be intensified.
Is Ambien Addictive?
Although Ambien has been marketed as a drug that is much less habit-forming than benzodiazepines like Xanax or Ativan, it can still be addictive, especially if it is taken in ways other than prescribed.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates more than 500,000 Americans are abusing Ambien and other similar sedative drugs. Additionally, between 2006 and 2011, about 38 million prescriptions were written for zolpidem in the U.S., and ER visits increased by a whopping 220 percent between 2005 and 2010, according to SAMHSA.
Clearly, misusing Ambien in any way can be just as dangerous as misusing benzodiazepines, other sedatives, or any other prescription or illegal drug out there.
What Are the Side Effects of Ambien Abuse?
Normal Ambien side effects will occur even when someone takes the medication as prescribed. However, if a person is abusing Ambien, he or she will experience several unpleasant physical and psychological side effects.
Short-term effects of Ambien abuse may include:
- Slow, shallow breathing
- Slurred speech
- Mood swings
- Muscle weakness
Long-term side effects of Ambien abuse may include:
- Lack of muscle control
- Suicidal thoughts
- Consistent headaches
- Digestion problems
- Extreme fatigue
- Physical dependence
What Are Signs and Symptoms of Ambien Addiction?
Common signs and symptoms of Ambien addiction include:
- Crushing the pills and snorting them.
- Taking Ambien well before bedtime.
- Getting Ambien prescriptions from multiple doctors.
- Continuing to take Ambien despite dangerous behaviors like sleepwalking or sleep driving.
- Faking symptoms of insomnia just to get an Ambien prescription.
- Trying to limit Ambien use or stop completely but being unable.
- Spending a great deal of time and money trying to get and use Ambien.
Many people also abuse Ambien with other addictive substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines. This can be especially dangerous because abusing Ambien with other depressants can amplify the effects and cause overdose or death.
How Long Does Ambien Stay In Your System?
When you take Ambien, it starts working within 30 minutes. The half-life of Ambien (the amount of time it takes your body to eliminate half of the dose) is about 2.5 to 3 hours. For some people, Ambien may stay in the body a bit longer. It just depends on the person’s age, metabolism, organ function, and other individual factors.
Because Ambien is metabolized so quickly, it’s usually only detectable in urine for 24 to 48 hours. However, for someone taking high doses of Ambien, it may be detectable in urine for up to 72 hours. With a blood test, Ambien is detectable for about 6 to 20 hours or up to 48 hours if a person is taking high doses.
Ambien Withdrawal Symptoms and Detox
When Ambien addiction occurs and the abuse is suddenly stopped or slowed, the user will feel uncomfortable physical and psychological symptoms. These are known as withdrawal symptoms. Ambien withdrawal is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Rebound insomnia
- Stomach cramps
- Panic attacks
- Suicidal thoughts
Although the severity of withdrawal symptoms will vary based on a person’s drug abuse history, whether they are abusing more than one drug, and their current physical health, Ambien detox can be a potentially dangerous process.
Recovering from Ambien addiction often begins with a medical detox program. Ambien detox can help users overcome severe Ambien addiction and reduce uncomfortable withdrawal effects throughout the process. In addition to being more comfortable, medical detox is a safer and more effective strategy for Ambien detox, as users have access to 24/7 medical care and sobriety support. Medical treatment during Ambien detox also reduces the likelihood of relapse by providing a substance-free environment in which the user can rest, heal, and recover from Ambien addiction.
Ambien Withdrawal Timeline
|4-8 hours after the last dose:||Users may start to experience mild symptoms of withdrawal a few hours after beginning Ambien detox.|
|24-48 hours after the last dose:||Users will start to experience stronger withdrawal symptoms, such as rebound insomnia, cravings, tremors, anxiety, and delirium. Sometimes, people completing Ambien detox may also experience seizures or psychosis. This often occurs with cases of severe addiction.|
|3-5 days after the last dose:||Ambien withdrawal symptoms typically peak around five days after the last dose. In some instances, withdrawal symptoms may last for several weeks, but medication-assisted Ambien detox can help minimize discomfort while clients continue their addiction treatment.|

Upon completion of detox, the best way to address severe Ambien addiction is with long-term treatment. This can often be achieved with 90-day inpatient or outpatient rehab. Although many Ambien rehab programs only offer 30-day programs, research shows most people need at least 90 days to permanently change addictive behaviors.
In rehab, people who are addicted to Ambien will work with addiction counselors, sober coaches, recovery specialists, and their peers to overcome the various aspects of their addiction. This could include physical cravings, negative emotions, trauma, and/or behavioral problems. Ambien rehab addresses these issues with:
- Educational lectures on chemical dependency
- 12-Step Program work
- Relapse prevention techniques and practice
- Life skills development
The primary purpose of Ambien rehab is to help people overcome their addiction and return to society as high-functioning individuals. This can be achieved with either inpatient rehab or outpatient rehab.
Inpatient rehab for Ambien addiction consists of an addiction treatment facility where clients live throughout the duration of the program. Men and women are treated separately for the most effective results and clients follow strict daily schedules. Most often, each day of consists of a variation of the following few things:
- Meal times
- Personal time
- Group/individual counseling
- Process group
- Education group
- 12-Step Group
Outpatient rehab for Ambien addiction, like inpatient treatment, offers intensive group therapy to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction. However, the main difference is that clients have the flexibility to live at home while they are enrolled in treatment. This allows for the ability to attend work, school, or sustain childcare duties and other responsibilities without neglecting addiction treatment.
Clients have several different payment options to cover the cost of Ambien rehab. They include:

Ongoing Options for Ambien Addiction Treatment
After Ambien rehab is complete, treatment may still continue, depending on the client’s needs and financial ability. In many cases, a person’s treatment team may recommend that the client continues with their Ambien treatment by enrolling in a sober living program and/or Aftercare. Both types of Ambien treatment programs are designed to help individuals maintain their sobriety after rehab and reintegrate back into society as a sober person.
Sober Living Programs
A sober living program (also sometimes called transitional housing, transitional living programs, or halfway houses) provides safe, sober, and supportive group housing for people in recovery. The main benefit of these programs is that they offer accountability and a sober environment for people who are newly sober and don’t have a lot of experiencing sustaining their abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
Sober living homes are also particularly great for people who struggle with chronic relapse and need extra support to stay sober after rehab.
While enrolled in sober living, clients receive many different support services to help them sustain a lifestyle of sobriety. These recovery support services include:
- Regular drug testing
- Tiered recover programs
- Personal monitoring
- Volunteer, employment, and education assistance
- Family support
These support services, in addition to the amenities offered by the transitional housing program, are often much less expensive than renting a house or apartment after completing rehab. As a result, sober living homes provide sobriety support, personal support, and financial support to people in recovery.
Although the cost of a sober living home is often less expensive than traditional housing options, the cost will vary based on the location of the home, the amenities offered, and the recovery support services that are provided.
Aftercare programs, much like sober living programs, are designed to support people in recovery. However, they are often tailored to people who have already completed rehab for Ambien addiction and are in various stages of their sobriety. For example, a person might enroll in Aftercare after completing a transitional housing program. Or a person may start Aftercare after a recent relapse.
Much like an intensive outpatient program, aftercare programs consist of a series of outpatient group meetings in which adults in recovery discuss recovery-related issues, achievements, and challenges. Groups meet for about eight weeks and serve as a safe and supportive space where clients can discuss personal issues related to their recovery.
In some cases, overcoming severe Ambien addiction will require a comprehensive long-term addiction treatment plan. Although it will take time, effort, and a willingness to commit, it is possible to recover fully and live a sober life.

The painter Norman Rockwell died at the age of 84. Here is all you want to know, and more!
Biography - A Short Wiki
Painter and Saturday Evening Post illustrator known for his images of American family life. His most famous, politically themed works included “Rosie the Riveter” and “The Problem We All Live With.”
He married Irene O’Connor in 1916. She served as his inspiration for “Mother Tucking Children into Bed,” which appeared on The Literary Digest cover from January 19, 1921. The couple divorced 14 years later. He married schoolteacher Mary Barstow, with whom he fathered three children: Jarvis Waring, Thomas Rhodes, and Peter Barstow.
“Everyone in those days expected that art students were wild, licentious characters. We didn’t know how to be, but we sure were anxious to learn.” (Norman Rockwell)
“I’m tired, but proud.” (Norman Rockwell)
“Very interesting for an old duffer like me to try his hand at something new. If I don’t do that once in a while, I might just turn into a fossil, you know!” (Norman Rockwell)
“The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they’re always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.” (Norman Rockwell)
“No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He’s got to put all his talent and feeling into them!” (Norman Rockwell) | <urn:uuid:e7077ece-0d0b-4f09-aa20-a4d20167e7be> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thecelebritydeaths.com/norman-rockwells-death-cause-and-date/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571502.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811194507-20220811224507-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.973363 | 378 | 2.578125 | 3 |
Objectives: A pharmacoeconomic study to compare, in terms of: medical effectiveness, quality of life and costs two treatment strategies ('homeopathic strategy' vs 'antibiotic strategy') used in routine medical practice by allopathic and homeopathic GPs in the treatment of recurrent acute rhinopharyngitis in 18-month to 4-year-old children.
Methods: Statistical analysis of data obtained from a population of 499 patients included in a previous 6-month prospective, pragmatic study. The patients were regrouped according to type of drug prescribed. Medical effectiveness was assessed in terms of (i) episodes of acute rhinopharyngitis, (ii) complications, (iii) adverse effects. Quality of life was assessed using the Par-Ent-Qol scale. Direct medical costs (medical consultations, drug prescriptions, prescriptions for further tests) and indirect medical costs (sick-leave) were evaluated from three viewpoints (society, patient, Social Security) using public prices and French Social Security tariffs.
Results: The 'homeopathic strategy' yielded significantly better results than the 'antibiotic strategy' in terms of medical effectiveness (number of episodes of rhinopharyngitis: 2.71 vs 3.97, P<0.001; number of complications: 1.25 vs 1.95, P<0.001), and quality of life (global score: 21.38 vs 30.43, P<0.001), with lower direct medical costs covered by Social Security (88 Euros vs 99 Euros, P<0.05) and significantly less sick-leave (9.5% of parents vs 31.6% of parents, P<0.001).
Conclusions: Homeopathy may be a cost-effective alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of recurrent infantile rhinopharyngitis. | <urn:uuid:4d8f4c3b-3178-4ab5-b2dd-870f1ee4e30d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15751328/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.911805 | 378 | 2.140625 | 2 |
Applications of Toxicogenomic Technologies to Predictive Toxicology and Risk Assessment
The Human Genome Project, which set the goal of determining the complete nucleotide sequence of the human genome, was among the most important biologic research projects of all time. To capitalize on the enormous potential of having access to genome-wide sequence information, scientists, clinicians, engineers, and information scientists combined forces to develop a battery of new molecular and bioinformatic tools that now make it possible to obtain and analyze biologic datasets of unprecedented magnitude and detail. Generally referred to as genomic technologies, these approaches permit sequence analysis—as well as gene transcript, protein, and metabolite profiling—on a genome-wide scale.
As a result, the Human Genome Project and the technologic innovations and computational tools that it spawned are having profound effects on biologic research and understanding. The application of these technologies to toxicology has ushered in an era when genotypes and toxicant-induced genome expression, protein, and metabolite patterns can be used to screen compounds for hazard identification, to monitor individuals’ exposure to toxicants, to track cellular responses to different doses, to assess mechanisms of action, and to predict individual variability in sensitivity to toxicants. Given the inherent complexity in generating, analyzing, and interpreting toxicogenomic data and the fact that toxicogenomics cannot address all aspects of toxicology testing, interested parties need to prepare in advance. This preparation will help them understand how best to use these new types of information for risk assessment and for implementing commensurate changes in regulations and public health, while preparing for the potential economic, ethical, legal, and social consequences. | <urn:uuid:1704f082-7fd2-4871-a68f-9a00c2692122> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://onlineethics.org/cases/national-academies-press-consensus-study-reports/applications-toxicogenomic-technologies | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.901713 | 333 | 2.53125 | 3 |
It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, I want you to stop it and soak in the majesty of this stainless steel full-sus Moorhuhn!
Keywords are important when it comes to writing a story. We need to use the sort of words that will not only grab the readers attention but also words that rank well on search engines. It can sometimes be tricky, but not this time.
The Huhncycles Moorhuhn has it all! 3D printed, steel, stainless steel, full-suspension, handmade! Chicken!
Ralf Holleis is the frame maker, engineer and artist behind Huhn Cycles, a part-time frame making business where he uses cutting edge technologies to make ‘sexy’ (his words) frames. Ralf uses his skills to build bikes and frames unlike anything we would normally see, and is a dab hand at building titanium and steel bikes, and will even use carbon fibre on some projects too.
This latest project, the Moorhuhn, takes Ralf’s passion for technology to the next step using 3D printed steel lugs welded into Reynolds 953 steel tubing to create this absolutely stunning full-suspension frame.
Lugs for the seat tube / top tube junction, bottom bracket / main pivot and head tube are all manufactured using a 3D printed process, though others might argue that this is actually an additive manufacturing process close to what Atherton Bikes does.
Internally the lugs feature a honeycomb structure which supports hose and cable routing to keep this stainless steel stunner uncluttered once built.
Reynolds 953 is a stainless steel tubing and is an extremely hard metal that is resistant to fatigue. It’s not a material that is commonly used, and we imagine it costs a pretty penny, but what price can you put on a raw stainless steel frame? If only we had a Delorean for shuttle duty!
The front triangle is made completely from 953 which is welded or silver brazed to the lugs. The rear is manufactured from Columbus Zona steel, another high-end steel which is often compared to 853.
Once all those tubes and lugs are fastened together the result is the Moorhuhn, a full-suspension bike aimed at trail riding with 129mm of rear-wheel travel.
Designed around a 140mm travel fork, the Moorhuhn has a 67-degree head angle, 76-degree seat tube angle and a reach for 469.6mm which results in a 621.6mm top tube length.
Huhn is Chicken in German. Why chicken you might ask;
“Getting dirty is fun, chickens live in the dirt, jet they look very elegant!
Chickens walk forward with their heads up high, while doing so they never loose focus.
FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER!
Last but not least chickens have the skill to fly for short distances, mountain bikes do the same !”Ralf Holleis

In the United States, the automobile industry is at a crossroads. Automakers are facing challenges from all sides: rising costs, new competitors, changing consumer tastes, and technology disruption. To survive, automakers need to make radical changes to their business models. They need to embrace new technologies and focus on precision manufacturing.
What is Precision Manufacturing?
The idea of precision manufacturing comes from the fact that parts in today’s cars are extremely complex and need to be built with great precision as the safety of customers depends on it. It helps with the production of cars and other vehicles, but it also helps with repairing them. It has many benefits, including increased safety and efficiency and better quality control.
Helps Fit Components Together
When building something like an engine or transmission, it can be difficult to get everything to fit together perfectly because they are made of many different pieces that need to be assembled carefully. Precision manufacturing allows companies to ensure all of these components fit together perfectly when they go into production.
When all of the parts fit together perfectly, its easier for them to work together and last longer without needing repairs or replacements. This means that there will be less downtime for repairs or replacements, which can save money on labor costs over time by reducing the need for workers to perform these tasks manually when problems arise with your machine or equipment. Proper component fits ensure machines can continue working at peak performance levels without delay
Precision manufacturing allows manufacturers to make an exact number of parts at once. They can ensure that each part meets quality control standards before being sent out to customers. This improves the overall quality of their product and ensures customers will receive only functional, high-quality products. Precision manufacturing allows companies to achieve exact measurements with a high level of consistency. This ensures that the product meets quality control standards.
Precision manufacturing reduces waste by ensuring that all components meet specifications before being sent to customers or sold in stores. In addition, precision manufacturing requires fewer workers — which means fewer salaries and benefits expenses for your organization or company. This can result in significant cost savings over time.

Just as you clean the shower walls, it’s quite essential to clean bath toys. As germs gather while the toys are floating inside the bathtub, the toys are likely to affect your child’s health. So, in order to clean toys, here are some tips you should go through as you carry out the rest of the tasks.
How to curb mold growth
After your child has a bath, you should squeeze the toys to drain out water. Keep them next the bath tub or at some other location where they can dry at a fast rate. You should also switch on the exhaust fan for 15 to 20 minutes for driving away humidity.
Usually, mold tends to grow inside the bath toys. On the other hand, water can make the rubber toys moist and eventually lead to old growth. This implies that when the kid is playing with the toys, the water may get polluted with mold. If you are seeking a solution, then there’s no option other than sealing the holes with glue.
Steps for cleaning toys with vinegar
You might be under the impression that bath toys can be cleaned with soapy water. But, while as you think about managing the home cleaning tasks after a week, you should remove and clean toys thoroughly.
For getting rid of the stains, you should use vinegar and dissolve it in liquid soap. As you fill the bucket with vinegar with warm water, you can add a few drops of lemon or tea tree oil. Once you have tossed the toys, you should let keep them inside water for a couple of hours. Later, you should clean toys by rinsing and allowing them to dry naturally.
Steps for sterilizing bath toys with heat
Whenever you concerned about sterilizing toys, you have to expose them to heat. This would actually help in killing germs that can be a root cause of many diseases. After a few minutes, you need to clean the toys with a help of a dishwasher. Ensure that you keep the temperature low because whenever you clean toys the material might get damaged or deformed. For small toys, it’s advisable to keep them in a lingerie bag before keeping them in the dishwasher.
If you don’t own a dishwasher, then you can use the sink to sterilize the bath toys. As soon as you fill the basin with hot water diluted with dish soap, you should let the toys soak for some time and then wipe them clean with a sponge or cloth. Make sure you wear gloves while washing. These would surely protect your hands from heat and the chemicals present in the soapy water. Once you clean toys thoroughly, you should rinse them under water and let them dry.
Steps for sterilizing bath toys with bleach
If you wish to clean things in a better way, then consider using bleach to kill viruses and bacteria. To carry out the task, you should first prepare a solution by mixing 1 tablespoon of bleach with one gallon of water. Soon after you have soaked the toys for a time span of 10 minutes, you should rinse the toys under cold water and let them dry.
Do go through blogs if you looking for some more tips to clean toys. If you are busy with a hectic schedule, then you should opt for professional cleaning services.

How to Putt
If you already know how to putt, you can skip straight to Chapter 2: Choose the Right Putter.
If you could to with a reminder, or some putting tips, then follow these 4 simple steps.
Grip Your Putter
There are different ways you can grip your putter and the way you grip it can have an effect on your shot.
A firm grip is always best, with your hands, wrists, and arms staying still.
For more information on how to grip your putter, go to Chapter 4: Reverse Overlap.
Get in the Right Stance
The way you stand is hugely important when it comes to putting your ball.
See Chapter 6: Balance for more information on how you should be standing.
Keep Your Head Positioned Over the Ball
Chapter 6 has all the information you need to know about perfecting your position.
The way you hit ball depends on the distance, the green, the weather, and the clubface.
The way you stroke is dominated by the shoulders – keep your wrists solid. Keep your legs completely still, and keep your weight 50/50 on both feet.
Choose the Right Putter
There are different putter styles available out there, and each comes with their own pros and cons.
The way the putter head is shaped can either favor your putting style or will do your stroke a disservice.
It’s important to think about which putter head you will help keep your points down.
You may benefit from a blade putter if you have an arc putting stroke.
This type of putter has a straight, blade-style head with a thin flange.
Peripheral-Weighted (AKA Heel-Toe Weighted)
This putter style is a more evolved version of the blade putter.
Heel-toe weighted putters are longer and thinner than blades and are delicate to use.
The extra weight in the heel and toe will help increase the accuracy of your putt.
Mallet putters have larger faces that can come in different shapes – but they tend to look like a mallet.
You should go for a mallet-style putter if you’re aiming for a straight back stroke – this putter will help you straighten your stroke.
Read the Green
You can tell a lot about how you should hit the ball just by looking at the green around you.
You should always study the green before putting it if you want an accurate shot.
Take your time, read the green, and putt the ball.
First of all, look out for any sloping at all. No green is completely flat, so use the slopes to your advantage.
For better views of slopes, stand behind the hole and see the journey your ball will take from that perspective.
Keep an eye out for any contours in the green – then you can predict whether the ball will break to the left of right on its journey to the hole.
The length of the grass has an effect on your ball’s journey to the hole.
If the grass is slightly longer, you’ll have to hit the ball harder.
If the grass is super short, you’ll only need a small tap of the ball to get it moving.
If the grass is shiny, your ball will most likely travel a lot smoother.
Have a feel with your feet or even your hands. This will determine how hard you need to hit the ball.
The way you grip your putter can have an effect on your swing.
The most popular putting grip is the reverse overlap – it’s the easiest and the most effective.
- Apply your left hand to the grip of the putter, and rest your right hand just beneath it.
- Link both your hands together by lifting your index finger of your left hand, and wrap it over the fingers of your right hand.
- Make sure your left thumb is resting flat on top of the grip – this is why the putter isn’t round. Your left thumb will provide additional support and help you keep the putter face square on impact.
- Your left hand will determine the direction on the face, whereas your right hand will act as a piston during your stroke.
Practice at Home
There are lots of ways you can practice your putting distance accuracy both at home and on the course.
Some of these methods you can even do in front of the TV!
Lay a small piece of card or paper down several feet away from you, and then try to putt the golf ball with just enough speed so it stops on top of the card.
If this is repeated regularly, your putting distance control will be impeccable when it comes to the real thing.
This technique is great for improving your accuracy, and is easily done at home – all you need is your club, ball and a piece of paper. Simple!
Get three or four balls, and drop them each two feet apart. Start by standing 10 feet away from the first one, and putt it, working your way back to 50 feet.
If you repeat this, you’ll get used to the speed of the swing you need for each distance.
Phonebooks are useful in more ways than one!
For this quick and easy putting practice method, just put two phone books (or any other book if you don’t have phone books!) down on the ground, leaving enough distance so that you can just about fit your putter through.
Then, practice your strokes, while trying to keep the putter straight and the putter face square.
If your putter bumps into the books, then you need to keep at it!
Balance is hugely important when it comes to golf – especially putting.
If you’re unsteady on your feet, your shot can be skewed.
Your legs, hands, arms, and torso should all be working together in harmony.
It all comes down to weight distribution. Your weight should be evenly distributed across your left and right foot.
On average, amateurs have 20% more weight on their back (right) foot, and they put more pressure on their toes as oppose to their heel.
Professionals distribute their weight more evenly – that shows that professionals know what they’re doing when it comes to balancing!
The key is stability. Yoga and Pilates require core strength, but it also comes in useful with golf.
It takes practice, but one you’ve engaged your core muscles, your stance and balance will be perfect.
Lining Up Your Shot
You may have seen professional golfers drawing lines around their ball.
The likes of Tiger Woods, Jason Day and Jordan Speith all draw lines on their ball.
There’s a method behind the madness!
Drawing a line around the circumference of your ball may help you get your ball started on the right line, helping with your aim and alignment.
Ensure your eyes are directly over the ball, make sure you’re all lined up, and hit the ball.
If you don’t want to draw on your ball, use the markings that are already on the golf ball to your advantage.
You can use the logo to line up where you want the putt to start.
Hopefully, you’ve found this guide useful, and you can take all of this information on to the green with you.
Golf is 50% mind work, 50% bodywork. Once you train your brain, your game will improve.
As professional golfer Tommy Bolt said: “The mind messes up more shots than the body.”

Foreign banks’ lending to Russia
America and the European Union extended sanctions on Russia this week. Russia has suffered capital flight, worsening business conditions and an 8% drop in the rouble against the dollar since the beginning of the year, when the troubles in Ukraine started. Although domestic banks dominate the market in Russia, foreign banks’ claims on Russia were $219 billion at the end of 2013, according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). French banks have the most claims, at nearly $50 billion, but Austrian ones are most exposed relative to their total foreign lending. The BIS estimates that foreign banks have a further $151 billion in exposure to Russia from derivatives, guarantees and credit commitments.

What is the Fool’s Journey?
The ‘Fool’s Journey’ is the term coined by Eden Gray to describe the story of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Unfortunately, Gray’s own account of the journey is merely a rushed appendix to A Complete Guide to the Tarot, and in the absence of an “authoritative” version (if it isn’t a fool’s journey in itself to look for anything definitive about the mysterious Tarot), I haven’t been able to find a cohesive explanation, especially one that would aid us as a writer. There are, of course, many interpretations of the Major Arcana that are fascinating, but the sources that have inspired me to write this post for my fellow writers have been those that bring together myth, symbolism and psychology.
Joseph Campbell on the Major Arcana
In this lecture he gave in 1971 and 1975, Joseph Campbell is handed his first ever Tarot deck (the Marseille Tarot in the first incomplete lecture, and the Waite-Smith deck in the latter), and interprets the Major Arcana with the easy grace brought by a lifetime of studying symbols and myths. He reminds me of Lyra reading the alethiometer. :)
Note: I’m sure the numbering of Campbell’s lecture hasn’t escaped you either. ;)
Campbell has a short essay in Tarot Revelations in which he details the same points as he does in the lecture. It’s interesting that he doesn’t draw a parallel with the monomyth. Instead, he sees in the Major Arcana, a progressive hierarchy inspired by the Minor Arcana’s correspondence to medieval estates. Instead of simply moving from one card to the next in order, he divides the cards into four columns, each of which represent a ladder to be climbed by the person over the course of that particular stage of life (Adolescence, Maturity, Age and Decrepitude, as borrowed from Dante). I think the structure becomes weaker as it reaches the fourth and fifth levels, but it’s still a welcome change to the usual linear or cyclical ways of visualising the Fool’s Journey.
Hajo Banzhaf on the Fool’s Journey
Hajo Banzhaf, in Tarot and the Journey of the Hero, is also perplexingly silent on the archetypal ‘Hero’s Journey’. He cites Sallie Nichols’s Jung and Tarot as his main inspiration. Nevertheless, in essentials, the Fool’s Journey and the Hero’s Journey are one and the same. Campbell says in his lecture that he regards the Tarot as a myth, and reads it as such.
In essence, there’s no difference between images and letters, except that we’re trained from birth to understand the system governing the order and denotation of letters, while something like ✭ is left more open to interpretation. Perhaps for this reason, a tool like the Tarot deck or the motifs of mythology can help us escape our institutional conditioning, and explore greater depths of meaning in our worlds.
Hajo Banzhaf’s diagram is similar to the key in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in that it’s arranged in a counter-clockwise circle with the light and dark phases of the journey marked, but instead of starting at the top of the circle, Banzhaf’s hero begins at the right (east). I think this is because the Magician depicts the dawn (the “Golden Dawn” for Waite and Smith), and the Lovers, which fall at the top with the sun shining above them, depict noontime. However, Banzhaf leaves the return journey – consisting of the Sun, Judgement and the World – out of his cycle. You can find a table comparing the various stages of The Hero’s Journey, The Fool’s Journey and The Writer’s Journey in the One Page Novel Course Workbook in the Coterie Library.
How to use the Fool’s Journey
The “possible pitfalls” and “feeling in life” are mostly excerpted from Banzhaf, but the “outward signs” are my own collations.
- The possible pitfalls are very useful for adding conflict to your story;
- the feelings in life are the things that might be going through your character’s head,
- and the outward signs are external events of objects that can represent that stage of the story.
My recommendation is to use the Fool’s Journey for inspiration and brainstorming, rather than for developing a plot or outlining. It’s far more powerful for suggesting solutions than for suggesting structure (as is true for Tarot in general).
- If your story is lacking conflict, find the card which best represents your character and use the “pitfalls” list as a starting point.
- If you aren’t sure what your character is thinking at a certain point in the story, find their corresponding card and explore the “feelings” list.
- If you need more events in your story that relate to the current stage it’s in, find the corresponding card and brainstorm ideas using the “signs” list.
- If you don’t know what your character should do next, find which card their current state corresponds to, and use the exercises to brainstorm scenes for the next card.
- If you need the influence of a particular card in your story, consider creating a character who fulfils those functions and makes use of similar symbols.
The Fool’s Journey
0. The Wandering Fool
“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” – Touchstone in ‘As You Like It’
The Fool is the hero of the Major Arcana. Eden Gray (after Waite) considers the Fool an everyman character, who progresses through the cards in their order from the Magician (1) through to the World (21). The Fool is unnumbered. He is, in fact, the first and ultimate “zero to hero”. The Fool is how we begin and how we end, from our childish wobbles and gibberish to our drooling dotage. The Fool carries a bindle, marking his vagrant state, and because the card is unnumbered, it is usually considered (like the Joker in modern decks), “moveable”. This is particularly clear in Campbell’s interpretation, where the Fool doesn’t have a place in the hierarchy, but is the card that moves up the four estates.
The archetype of the wise fool is a well-established one both in literature (Shakespeare’s Fool in King Lear, Wamba in Ivanhoe, etc.) and in world religions, representing the dichotomies between wisdom and learning, beginner mind and monkey mind, ji-hokkai and ri-hokkai. “Either he knows nothing or he isn’t using the knowledge he has,” writes Banzhaf.
It’s important that the hero of the Major Arcana isn’t a superhuman, an alpha male, or a world-saviour. The Fool is the younger brother, the child, the outcast, the weakling, the underdog, and the wildcard. Marie von Franz equates the Fool with the Jungian inferior function:
“Wenn man die einzelnen Fälle studiert, kann man sehen, daß die minderwertige Funktion dazu neigt, sich in der Art eines solchen “Narr” Helden, eines göttlichen Narren oder idiotischen Helden zu verhalten. Er repräsentiert den verachteten Teil, aber auch den Teil, der die Verbindung zum Unbewußten aufbaut und daher den geheimen Schlüssel zur unbewußten Ganzheit in sich trägt.” Marie von Franz, ‘Die inferiore Funktion’ in Pscyhotherapie
“If one studies the individual cases, one can see that the inferior function tends to behave in the way of such “fool” heroes, holy fools, or idiot heroes. It represents the despised part, but also the part that builds a connection to the unconscious and therefore carries in itself the secret key to the unconscious whole.”
The Fool is the Major Arcana’s hero because he is the character most open to change, most in need of change, and most worthy of change by virtue of being guileless and (perhaps naively) unafraid of making mistakes. As E.M. Forster put it, “fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
The Fool’s Dog
Banzhaf interprets the dog as warning the Fool to watch where he’s walking; he seems blissfully unaware that he’s at the edge of a cliff. In the Marseille decks, however, the dog is clearly attacking the man – notably clawing at the thigh, which is usually where the Fisher King is wounded by a spear.
Barking dogs often herald strangers, but dogs also bark to welcome their masters. When Odysseus finally returns home, his dog is the only one to recognise him in his disguise, although the animal’s response also puts him in danger of discovery. Hence, I consider the dog a perfect symbol of Tolstoy’s suggestion that there are only two types of stories: a stranger comes to town, or someone leaves on a journey.
1. How is your hero a wise fool?
2. What is a symbol of their home?
3. How will this symbol gain new meaning when the hero returns home after their long journey?
The Heavenly and Earthly Parents
Banzhaf casts the Magician and the High Priestess as the hero’s “heavenly” parents, in contrast to the Empress and the Emperor who are the “earthly” parents. I think it’s very useful to cast the two sets of parents because these two pairs of cards clearly mirror each other, and represent two sides of the same coin. However, it’s important to remember that these archetypes are based on myth, not on cultural stereotypes or gender roles.
Many heroes and heroines have two sets of parents. Lyra has her real “heavenly” parents who died in an airship accident, and her “earthly” guardian, Lord Asriel (as well as her gyptian nursemaid and Fader Coram who could also be regarded as her “earthly” parents); Harry has his deceased (“heavenly” or “spiritual”) parents, Lily and James, while the Dursleys are his “earthly” parents. The motif is even more common in myths and fairytales where a royal child is often fostered by commoners for protection against a prophecy, curse, or evil step-mother, as is the case, for example, with Oedipus, and Snow White.
1. The Magician
The Magician uses the way of the intellect to uncover spiritual secrets; he is an active seeker of knowledge and clarity. He is depicted holding a wand and making the hermetic sign meaning, “as above, so below”.
He is also controlling all four symbols of the Minor Arcana (the Jungian four functions), which Campbell considers as meaning, “that any path of life well followed may lead to an opening of the spiritual door, of which he is the guardian.”
Outward signs: A juggler, conjurer or magician, an adept, a bookworm.
Possible pitfalls: Megalomania, being a charlatan, omnipotence.
Feeling in life: Tapping into huge reserves of power, feeling in charge, confidence, a Faustian thirst for knowledge.
1. Who is the initiator of your character’s current way of life?
2. Do they have a “heavenly” Father? If yes, what is their relationship like?
3. Does your character tend more towards the empirical or the mystical? What conflict does this dichotomy cause them?
2. The High Priestess
The High Priestess is the feminine counterpart of the Magician; she represents the mystical path to spirituality as opposed to the intellectual. Her approach is passive, inwardly-directed, and in no way inferior or less effective to that of the Magician. In fact, any assumption that it could be is probably just a symptom of our cultural bias.
Campbell suggests that the Magician and the High Priestess, “might be read as representing, respectively, the Animus and the Anima, complementary images of the ideal male in the psyche of the female and female in the psyche of the male.” As her place below the Lovers in his arrangement implies, she is the initiator of the estate of spiritual love.
Outward signs: Loss of consciousness, waiting, turning the other cheek, taking part in a ritual, allowing oneself to be guided blindly.
Possible pitfalls: Escapism, doubt, indecisiveness.
Feeling in life: Letting go, trust in the universe, inspiration, feeling loved, peace, going with the flow.
1. What is the character open to and expectant of?
2. Do they have a “heavenly” mother? If yes, what is their relationship like?
3. Who represents the character’s anima or animus?
3. The Empress
The Empress is the power of nature, as opposed to the Emperor who represents the manmade or artificial. She can be a source of abundance, creativity, nourishment, and life but at the same time, she can bring about the destructive forces of natural disasters.
Campbell considers the Empress as representing the maturation of the spiritual love of the High Priestess.
Outward signs: A feast, a mother, an artist, going shopping.
Possible pitfalls: Uncontrolled growth, changeableness, inconsistency.
Feeling in life: Creative flow, feeling alive, understanding the cycles of life, belief in abundance.
1. How does your character embrace life?
2. Do they have an “earthly” mother? If yes, what is their relationship like?
3. Are they in tune with nature?
4. The Emperor
As the Father figure, the Emperor is the source of authority and responsibility. While he may at times seem overbearing or critical, he provides the disciplining influence which is the essence of all learning and spirituality. He isn’t opposed to the feminine, or to life. In fact, the Ankh he holds in his right hand represents the life force as a combination of the male and female energies.
Outward signs: An authority figure, being told to try harder, being given a routine or schedule, being drafted, a (verbal or physical) beating.
Possible pitfalls: Obstinacy, perfectionism, strictness, hard-heartedness.
Feeling in life: To be aware of responsibilities, being cruel to be kind, a realistic outlook, seriousness, being given constructive criticism.
1. How does your character approach their responsibilities?
2. Do they have an “earthly” father? If yes, what is their relationship like?
3. How do they struggle with discipline or authority?
5. The Hierophant
The Hierophant is the teacher of religious mysteries and the first suggestion of the underworld of adventure. This, according to Banzhaf, is represented by the fingers of the Hierophant’s right hand: the three fingers pointing upwards symbolise the visible world, while the curled fingers symbolise the hidden world. The five fingers as a whole are the “quintessence”. The hero must travel through both the (conscious) visible world, and the (unconscious) hidden world to find what is essential.
Outward signs: A truth-teller, a blunder, an invitation.
Possible pitfalls: Hyposcrisy, world-weariness, “guru-ism”.
Feeling in life: Faith in the divine, profound experiences.
1. What character might work as a Hierophant to urge your character to discover the world that they’re ignoring?
2. What is visible in the character’s world?
3. What is hidden?
6. The Lovers
Having realised that there is a world beyond that which they had conceived, the hero must now decide whether or not to leave home and hearth and search for it (in the visible or invisible world). The hero makes this decision with a light, pure heart, and with the best intentions. Banzhaf describes it as a happy union of will and passion, but it can also be the choice between vice and virtue, as the biblical imagery in the Waite-Smith deck attests.
This card depicts a pair of lovers because even after the teachings of the Hierophant, love is the ultimate driving force that allows us to make a change. It is also often love that draws us away from our own family for the first time. While this card may feel like the ultimate goal and the end of the road for the character, needless to say they still have a long journey ahead of them. In terms of the Hero’s Journey, this is only the decision to accept or refuse the call to adventure. Finding, in another person, what you lack in yourself, is only the beginning…
Outward signs: An object of desire, arguments with parents or guardians.
Possible pitfalls: Intemperance, excessive joy.
Feeling in life: Butterflies, fearless decisiveness.
1. How does the experience of love force the character to make a choice between their current life and the life they might have?
2. How do they describe the choice to themselves? Are they accurate?
3. What are they afraid of leaving behind? How does their desire outweigh this fear?
7. The Chariot
The decision made in the Lovers card has spurred the hero on to leave his home and set off in search of adventure.
“Plato, in his Phaedrus, in his famous image of the chariot drawn by two steeds, ‘one of them noble and good, and of good stock, while the other is of opposite character, and his stock opposite’, writes of the necessity to control and coordinate the two; while Dante’s Virgil, at the fourth stage of the Purgatario, delivers a lecture on the two effects of love, the one exalting, the other degrading.” (Campbell, Tarot Revelations)
The Chariot represents the pull of opposites. The Charioteer’s job is to keep the two steeds or sphinxes in check, so that neither overbears and topples (or wrecks) the chariot. The horses in the Marseille deck are blue and red, symbolising the body and the soul respectively, while the sphinxes of the Waite-Smith are black and white, with each containing the other’s colour like the yin-yang symbol. This is because everything contains its opposite, and if we examine a binary closely enough, we always find evidence that subverts the binary (c.f. Deconstruction). Or as Banzhaf puts it: “every time we are certain that we have discovered an evident truth, we can, at one and the same time, be certain that it is not the truth.”
Outward signs: A new form, or clothing symbolic of a new function; provision of a vehicle; setting out on a journey.
Possible pitfalls: Arrogance, impulsiveness, intemperance.
Feeling in life: Optimism; desire for motion; being poised; increasing awareness; maturity; the first, intoxicating phase of the road trip, before reality begins to leak back in.
1. What are some signs or symbols that the character has been chosen as the hero of the story?
2. How does the character set off on the adventure? What spurs them on?
3. How does the character struggle to keep their two steeds in check?
This is the card that is switched with Strength in the order of the Waite-Smith deck. Banzhaf replaces it as number eight because, according to him, Justice marks the point of separation with the ordinary world. In the monomyth, this is when the hero reaches the first crossing. The figure of Justice represents the old laws the hero is leaving behind and the new laws (of the new world) that are drawing them into their power. The character must be ready and willing to take on responsibility, but unlike the choice of the Lovers card, Justice, with her prominent right foot, represents a more considered, rational approach.
Outward signs: Lifting the sword of power, training montage, a schedule/roster/plan of action.
Possible pitfalls: Being a know-it-all, prejudice, slyness, overconfidence.
Feeling in life: Fairness to others, making intelligent decisions, just rewards.
1. What are the rules of the old/ordinary world that the character is leaving behind?
2. What are the rules of the new/adventure world? How do they differ? How do these differences cause problems for the character?
3. What responsibilities must the character take on? How do they feel about it?
9. The Hermit
With the single digit cards ends the Fool’s sojourn in the realms of light. From now on they are in the dark underworld of adventure. This is the beginning of the inward journey, and for this reason requires some solitary reflection.The hero may hide in a cupboard, or they may go on a night-sea journey. In this sense, the Hermit is a manifestation of the character. They’ve travelled a long way from The Fool card, where the mountains on the summit of which the Hermit now stands, were far in the distance.
But the Hermit can also appear as another person, often a Helper who provides the character with a protective talisman for their crossing. However, Banzhaf points out that even the external Hermit is a manifestation of the hero, the conscious gift of the unconscious.
This is also where the character learns their true name. It may be part of the revelation of the heavenly parents, who are often kept secret from the hero. Unfortunately, as Banzhaf writes, finding our true name isn’t the end of the battle. Henceforward, our work in life will be to stay loyal to it and not to betray it.
Outward signs: A hideaway/den/nook, a protective figure, a symbolic gift.
Possible pitfalls: Strangeness, feeling like an outsider, being too concerned with the other world, disenchantment.
Feeling in life: Clarity, inner peace, standing up for yourself, finding yourself.
1. How and where does the character seek peace and quiet?
2. How are they provided with a talisman for the journey ahead?
3. How does the character discover their true name? What does it mean to them?
4. What does this period of solitary reflection reveal to the character?
10. The Wheel of Fortune
Banzhaf describes the commandment of the Wheel of Fortune thus: “Seek the treasure that is hard to find!” This is the card that clarifies the character’s goal, and what truly provided me with an epiphany in Banzhaf’s reading was his suggestion that our life’s work is not to pursue what you (or your character) is good at. On the contrary, the figure that speaks to the character from the Wheel of Fortune is the one that demands more attention. It’s their weaknesses that have sent the character on this Fool’s Journey in the first place, and until they’re strengthened, the character will keep encountering the same problems. If one of the character’s four parents is branded as an “evil step-mother”, then the character’s work is to stop shunning them, and instead uncover the truth about their relationship. There may also be other universal or personal archetypes recurring in their life, and bringing their own teachings. In the Waite-Smith deck, the figures in each corner all hold books which disappear in the World card, when they’ve reached a holistic understanding. But at this stage, they still have a lot to learn…
Outward signs: Missing treasure, a nemesis/enemy/shapeshifter.
Possible pitfalls: Fatalism, misunderstanding your life’s purpose.
Feeling in life: Unpleasant learning experiences, resistance.
1. What is the character seeking?
2. What are the weaknesses they must improve before they can reach a resolution?
3. What figure symbolises this weakness in the character? How does their interaction highlight this weakness? | <urn:uuid:43d401e1-bc84-45d2-8fa2-41b9307df33e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.eadeverell.com/the-fools-journey/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.929388 | 5,421 | 2.125 | 2 |

An informant reported that her grandmother "talked about her father [Lyman Jairus Strong] rode circuit as a judge and his areas of travel were Mississippi, Louisiana, and possibly other states." This would have been in the mid-1800s. Where can I find information about specific judges and their decisions in this time and place?
In the post Short circuited!, posted on 9 Oct 2015, Judy G. Russell says:
[T]he records of the Circuit Courts from 1789 until 1911 are considered trial court records, and they’re in Record Group 21, Records of the United States District Courts. You’ll find them in the specific National Archives branch that has the records for the District Courts in that state.
Russell refers her readers to the interactive map at the Federal Judicial Center, where you can mouse over the map and see what courts are included in that area.
The graphic in her blog posts shows that Mississippi and Louisiana, along with Texas, are in Circuit 5:
- Fort Worth, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
Russell also gives pointers to other resources on the Federal Judicial Center website, including a downloadable PDF, Guide to Research in Federal Judicial History.
To locate information about Lyman Jairus Strong, it might help to find clues that would pinpoint when and where he was riding circuit, since the statutes in effect at the time would give you clues to where the records turned up. The History of the Federal Judiciary shows a timeline for the Fifth Circuit:
The Federal Judicial Circuits Organization of the Fifth Circuit
- 1801 Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina. (2 Stat. 89)
- 1802 North Carolina, Virginia. (2 Stat. 156)

This upward trend has been ongoing since the 1990s. This year, the famous border funds increased. The State of Geneva provided figures for Wednesday, July 6, 2018, which showed that the Geneva financial compensation (CFG), amounts to 343 million Francs in 2022, compared to 326 million in 2021. This amount is what makes it possible for Geneva to pay the public taxes related to Ain and Haute-Savoie residents who live and work in Geneva. Geneva pays France 3.5% on the gross payroll of cross border workers. This is a good news for both the departments and the strong Swiss franc. The exchange rate is also at parity with that of the euro.

One of the hallmarks of students in MTSU’s Aerospace professional pilot program is their ability to successfully navigate unexpected challenges, including months of turbulence caused by a worldwide pandemic storm.
Tyler Babb, associate professor and professional pilot concentration coordinator, thinks most aerospace students are handling the COVID-19 situation well in a year unlike any other.
The flight school remains open despite the pandemic. MTSU’s flight school staff and administration have established COVID protocols, ensuring daily compliance from instructors and students.
“In a normal academic year, pilots in training are usually delayed because of poor weather, but this year, COVID protocols and required quarantine rules have forced delays on many of our flight students,” said Babb. “It can be quite discouraging, but we continue to do our best to continue flight training and help students make efficient progress.”
When COVID-19 struck, it grounded the way Babb conducted his classes and since he never taught a course online he called it “quite a learning experience.”
Two of his three classes, Professional Pilot I and II, have been taught remotely since March, but due to its small size, an Honors Theory of Flight offering has been held in-person.
At first, his “flight plan” for the teaching journey ahead was to record lecture videos and allow students to access them during any time of the day. Unfortunately, the academic ride got a little bumpy from boredom.
“Watching someone talk about a subject without any interaction at all is difficult, if not boring, so over the past several months I have tried to make the recordings as interactive as possible,” explained Babb. “[I have] included asking open-ended questions to be addressed on D2L discussions. It has improved the quality and quantity of student interaction and may become a course requirement in the future.”
D2L, or Desire2Learn, is MTSU’s online learning platform.
Babb has also significantly expanded the amount of D2L quizzes to ensure complete understanding of course topics.
The MTSU alumnus, who earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in the aerospace field from the university, also says he tries to change his pace and tone of voice and occasionally adds a short story or joke. Additionally, he offers an optional weekly Zoom session where he has added Kahoot quizzes — a game-based learning platform — which have been popular. The innovative teacher says he has discovered these simple additions can go a long way in retaining a student’s attention.
Despite the aerospace industry being hit hard by COVID-19, the Professional Pilot program has experienced rapid growth during the past four years and has 890 students currently enrolled. He is proud of their recruitment efforts, including the Aerospace Ambassadors, a select group of senior students who offer virtual tours of their department three times a week and has proven to be a successful endeavor.
Amid the distractions and changes of 2020, Babb says his students provide him with a sense of normalcy.
“My remote and in-person students are well aware that my wife and I are busy at home raising our 1-year-old daughter, Charlotte,” Babb said. “Some of my students are parents and they have offered encouragement and advice. I have shared stories about her first birthday party and trick-or-treat experience. [These exchanges] help to try and humanize this COVID education experience.”
Also, Babb finds taking daily walks “allows meto appreciate the beauty of our campus as I try to get my 10,000 steps per day,” he said. “It helps with my energy and sleep schedule.”
Babb tells his students that everyone will face adversity in their personal and professional lives. No one sits alone in that cockpit, and our response is more important than the situation itself.
“This year has created challenges for everyone, but in my experience, working through a difficult time forces me to adapt and overcome, and ultimately makes me more productive and resilient,” he said.

As a dog owner, you probably wish you could spend more time with your pet. However, you must work and may have to leave your dog behind. The long hours you spend at work can be boring for a dog home alone. It can also be stressful since you wonder how they are getting along in your absence. Here are some activities that can keep them busy as you work.
If your dog socializes well with other pets, taking them to an animal daycare can be ideal. These facilities have staff who have experience keeping your pet active and safe. Look for one near your home or office that fits your work schedule. Ask fellow pet owners for recommendations on the ideal daycare facility.
For antisocial dogs, you can hire a dog walker. Schedule visits with them to walk your dog during your working hours.
You can get an additional dog to be your pet’s companion. Adopting a dog from an animal shelter is beneficial to both animals. Your dog gains a friend while the other gets shelter and food.
Ensure that the new companion is healthy and has gone through all the necessary vaccinations. Some dog shelters can allow you to foster the dog first before adopting it.
However crazy this may seem, it works. There are television sites with special programming for dogs. Just like humans, dogs also like lazing around watching TV. Several scientific studies show that dogs can listen to classical music. It encourages relaxation and reduces negative behaviors that cause stress and anxiety.
These toys are a popular way of entertaining your dog in your absence. They are cute dispensing gadgets where you can put a variety of treats. To make it more interesting, have a variety of toys that you can interchange. Pets that need more physical and intellectual exercise go for a dog puzzle. These are interactive toys that can keep your pet busy for hours.
If you can start the day with a lot of activity, it can help tire your dog. Doing this reduces the chance of it being restless when you are away. You can try to wake up half an hour earlier than usual and take your pet for a walk or run.
If you do not want to go out, a few minutes of play around the house or garden can reduce the chances of destructive behavior.
Giving your dog access to an open window helps keep your dog busy. It can stare at activities going on outside when resting. The activities outdoors help grab their attention and pass the time faster. It is an alternative means of entertainment once they stop playing with toys around the house. Smaller dogs may need a chair with a comfortable pillow or blanket close to a window.
There are many other ways to occupy your dog’s day home alone. All you need is creativity.

When you buy an SC Johnson product, you can count on the fact that it meets existing government standards as well as our rigorous standards for health and environmental impact.
Our internal standards
The Greenlist™ program goes well beyond what’s legally required. And, it’s a significant investment to spend time and resources on every single ingredient decision. But it’s our commitment to the families who use our products: We will always make the most informed choices we can, and using this information, we determine how to make our products effective and safe.
SC Johnson Greenlist™ Program
Every ingredient in every SC Johnson product goes through the rigorous Greenlist™ program. Its centerpiece is a science-based, four-step evaluation that looks at both hazard and risk. It’s grounded in best-in-class data collection, and driven by our commitment to continually improve our products.
The four-step evaluation at the heart of the Greenlist™ program looks at these criteria:
- Chronic human health hazards, such as the potential to cause cancer or reproductive diseases
- Long-term environmental hazards, meaning the potential to persist, accumulate and be toxic in the environment
- Acute risks to human and environmental health, such as mammalian or aquatic toxicity
- Other potential effects, for example whether an ingredient could cause an allergic reaction on the skin
We take great care to choose ingredients that pass each of the steps in our four-step evaluation process. There are a small number of cases where the best available ingredient, like the active ingredient in an insecticide, might fail one of these steps. If so, it goes through a risk assessment to determine the level that is safe for humans and the environment, and we then apply an added degree of caution.
SETTING STANDARDS FOR SAFE
We start with a hazard assessment using the information from our ongoing data collection. When there’s a potential hazard, we evaluate the ingredient to determine at what concentration it could be used, if at all, without any known adverse effects to human health or the environment. That’s the safe level.
Then, we conduct an additional assessment focused on exposure. SC Johnson scientists look at how a product is intended to be used and how it might be used by consumers. We consider the broadest likely use, and go beyond that, in selecting what ingredients we will use and at what level.
As an example, for a cleaning product most likely to be used once a week, we take it many steps further. We review what the level of exposure to an ingredient may be, assuming it is used not just once, but many more times in one day. We also consider the variety of ways in which consumers may use or come into contact with a product, such as a glass cleaning product used on a kitchen counter to prepare food. We consider all of those usage scenarios, and will multiply them out even further to create an even greater, more conservative safety factor.
In each scenario, our goal is to determine the conservative “safer than safe” level. Then, that becomes the allowable concentration for SC Johnson scientists to continue product development.
IT ALL STARTS WITH DATA
Every ingredient is assessed against each of the criteria in our four-step evaluation. Hazard assessment is conducted by an external panel of experts that provides an unbiased scientific evaluation of each ingredient.
All of this is considered as we develop new products, or improve existing ones. Plus, we continually make updates as new science becomes available.
Here are examples of publicly available data sources we use:
ECHA – European Chemicals Agency information on chemicals
TOXNET – U.S. National Institutes of Health’s database on toxicology, hazardous chemicals, environmental health and toxic releases
eChem Portal – Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development chemical substance property data
CA Prop 65 – California Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm
INCHEM – International Programme on Chemical Safety site for chemical safety information from intergovernmental organizations
ToxCast/EDSP 21 – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Endocrine Disruption Screening Program
Principles for restrictions and use
Laws and Government Regulations
We design our products to meet all applicable laws and regulations including:
- The consumer advertising laws and regulations enforced primarily by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which require advertisers to make truthful claims about their products in advertisements and on product labels.

- The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which provides for federal regulation of pesticide distribution, sale, and use. SC Johnson’s pesticide products distributed or sold in the United States are evaluated and registered (licensed) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in accordance with FIFRA and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
- The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which provides the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the authority to oversee the safety of food, drugs, and cosmetics.
- The Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA), which is administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and requires that products be labeled to indicate potential human hazards such as flammability, toxicity, corrosiveness and irritation. SC Johnson’s product labels indicate that our products present few, if any, such hazards.
- The Clean Air Act and corresponding state laws, which regulate the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that products may contain.
- The State of California’s Proposition 65, which requires that products contain warnings if they contain significant levels of substances known to the State to cause cancer or birth defects.
- The State of California's Cleaning Products Right to Know Act of 2017, requires manufacturers to disclose the ingredients in cleaning products which appear on designated government lists.

The honey that most of us are familiar with is golden, thick, and syrupy. It’s easy to spread on toast or stir into tea, and we think of it as a sweet treat. It’s a delicious addition to cakes, drinks, and candies. But did you know that honey can also be used for medicinal purposes?
Manuka honey is a special kind of honey that can be used to treat infections, burns, wounds, and even gum disease. The main difference between manuka honey versus regular honey is the flower that it is sourced from. Regular honey is made from clover, sunflowers, buckwheat, or any other kind of plant that bees collect nectar from. Manuka honey is always made from the nectar of the manuka plant. This plant, found in New Zealand and Australia, grows beautiful white flowers. Its name comes from the Maori language, which is the language of the indigenous people of New Zealand.
Because it is made from a single plant, manuka honey is less common than the kind of honey that you would find on a grocery store shelf. It’s much more expensive, too. A 250g jar of manuka honey could cost as much as $30, while a similarly sized jar of regular raw honey can be bought for around $5 or $6. Manuka honey is considered a specialty food. You probably won’t be able to find it at big chain supermarkets, but health food stores often have it in stock.
Finding Authentic Manuka Honey
If you’re going to spend a lot of money on honey, you want to be sure that you’re getting what you pay for. When you buy manuka honey, look for a Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA label) on the jar. The UMFHA is an independent organization that was founded in New Zealand to protect the quality and integrity of manuka honey products.
If you see a reference to “UMF” on a jar’s label, it means that the honey inside is 100% genuine New Zealand manuka honey, and that the UMFHA has scientifically tested the honey to determine the strength of its medicinal qualities. No honey can be exported from New Zealand without first passing a government-mandated inspection, so rest assured: any New Zealand manuka honey that you buy is very likely to be the real thing.
The Unique Manuka Factor is a grading system that measures the quality of manuka honey. All UMFHA-approved manuka honey will have a UMF number on its label. This number reflects the potency of three key components of the honey:
- Dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA, which helps determine the age of the honey.
- Methylglyoxal, also known as MGO, which is a chemical compound that makes manuka honey antibacterial and comes from the manuka flower.
- Leptosperin, which is another chemical compound only found in manuka honey.
When all of these are present, the honey in question is considered to be genuine manuka honey. Depending on how much of each compound is present, the honey is given a UMF rating. Honey of grade 10 and above is considered suitable for medicinal use. Grade 15+ can have digestive benefits, and grade 20+ can be used to treat wounds and oral health concerns.

Manuka Honey Benefits
Despite its high price and the relatively small area in which it is produced, there is a huge demand for manuka honey. This is because the honey has scientifically-proven health benefits. Eating low-grade manuka honey can help you maintain good digestive and oral health, and higher-grade manuka honey can be used to treat existing health concerns and gum diseases.
There are many proven health benefits of manuka honey. It can ease pain, prevent scarring, soothe a sore throat, improve digestion, promote oral health, fight acne, or even just give you a boost of energy.
Manuka honey has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory powers that have been recorded and scientifically proven. One brand of manuka-infused wound and burn dressings has even gotten FDA approval in the US.
Manuka honey can be directly applied to burns, cuts, sores, and other wounds. Covering a wound in manuka honey before wrapping it can help the wound heal fast, scar less, and can also reduce pain. There are no known negative side effects of topically applying manuka honey to a wound. It is an effective topical treatment for a variety of ailments.
Treat Acne and Use on Skin
Manuka honey can also be applied to the face to treat acne or dull skin. Honey is a popular ingredient in skincare, and some people use raw honey as a kind of face mask, applying it directly to their skin. Manuka honey is even better for your skin than regular raw honey is. The higher the UMF rating, the more antibacterial power the honey has, and the more it will help fight acne and prevent future breakouts. By using manuka honey as a face mask or as part of your skincare routine, you can reduce inflammation and keep harmful bacteria off of your skin.
Treat Digestive Issues
While topical application of manuka honey has benefits, eating manuka honey is also good for you. Consuming the honey can reduce bloating and improve the health of your digestive system and can soothe a sore throat while also fighting off the bacteria causing the sickness.
Treat Your Gums and Bad Breath
Manuka honey, unlike most sugary food, is great for your mouth and gums. Its chemical makeup is different from refined sugars, and it doesn’t cause decay. Research shows that it effectively fights plaque and wipes out the bacteria that causes cavity and gum disease. It’s even more effective than most mouthwashes!
How to Eat Manuka Honey
Unlike most regular honey, manuka honey is not a light golden color. It is a darker color and is very thick and sometimes more granular than average honey. As manuka ages, it becomes darker and more flavorful.
You can eat manuka honey raw. In fact, this is a great way to get all the benefits of the honey. Eating 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey every day will give your digestive system and oral health a boost, and depending on the honey’s UMF rating, it could also have other health benefits. If you don’t want to eat the honey on its own, you can add your daily dose of manuka to a smoothie, a cold drink, or a dish like oatmeal or yogurt. Some companies make manuka lozenges, caramels, suckers, and other candies. With candies like these, you can treat your body to a healthy treat without even realizing you’re snacking on health food!
Never boil manuka honey or mix it with boiling liquids. This will sterilize the honey and remove its beneficial properties. If you want to add it to tea or another hot drink, wait until the water has cooled down a bit and is no longer boiling.
You can always eat more than 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey in a day. Just remember that manuka, despite all its health benefits, is still a very sugary food, and it’s good to limit sugar intake. On top of that, eating many tablespoons of manuka a day is an expensive habit to maintain!
Food trends come and go, and nowadays there are countless so-called “superfoods.” But when it comes to manuka honey, you can believe the hype. This stuff is the real deal! It’s a miraculous food and an amazing natural way to promote your health. From acne to digestion issues to burns and cuts, there’s no end to the ailments that manuka can treat. The price may be high, but it’s worth every penny. For the tastiest antibacterial treatment you’ve ever tried, look no further! | <urn:uuid:558937f7-4260-4829-a4c4-821ea05461bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://honestbeekeeper.com/manuka-honey-vs-normal-honey/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.949566 | 1,697 | 2.609375 | 3 |
Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an aggressive bone and soft tissue malignancy that predominantly affects children and adolescents. CD99 is a cell surface protein that is highly expressed on ES cells and is required to maintain their malignancy. We screened small molecule libraries for binding to extracellular domain of recombinant CD99 and subsequent inhibition of ES cell growth. We identified two structurally similar FDA-approved compounds, clofarabine and cladribine that selectively inhibited the growth of ES cells in a panel of 14 ES vs. 28 non-ES cell lines. Both drugs inhibited CD99 dimerization and its interaction with downstream signaling components. A membrane-impermeable analog of clofarabine showed similar cytotoxicity in culture, suggesting that it can function through inhibiting CD99 independent of DNA metabolism. Both drugs drastically inhibited anchorage-independent growth of ES cells, but clofarabine was more effective in inhibiting growth of three different ES xenografts. Our findings provide a novel molecular mechanism for clofarabine that involves direct binding to a cell surface receptor CD99 and inhibiting its biological activities. | <urn:uuid:902ae1aa-4b4a-4d61-9012-0f11d5fcedb9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://moh-it.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/clofarabine-inhibits-ewing-sarcoma-growth-through-a-novel-molecul | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.92942 | 238 | 1.71875 | 2 |
Looking for a music teacher can be complicated, but we’ve got some helpful hints to make it easier!
Check out the first part of this post here: How To Choose A Music Teacher
Think about your budget
When budgeting for music lessons, you should be prepared to spend in the range of $20 – $50 for a half hour for beginning to intermediate music lessons. If you’re looking for beginning lessons in an instrument, it’s possible to go a little cheaper. But even as a beginner, teachers that are more expensive (more experienced with more education) will often allow you to progress much faster than those less experienced.
If you’re looking for advanced teachers, prices can go $200 and up for an hour. Often teachers that are more expensive will allow you to take lessons every other week or even once a month.
Try a few teachers
There is nothing wrong or unusual with trying out a few different teachers. Trying out a few different teachers can give you a better sense of what you like in a teacher. As a teacher myself, I’d rather make sure the student finds a teacher they connect with, even if it’s not me; the learning experience will be better for both the student and the teacher!
Ultimately, teachers are here to help you learn the love of music!
Don’t get stuck
As you progress, you might find that a teacher that was a fantastic fit for you in the beginning, is no longer quite right. Much like moving to a new teacher in school, you can outgrow a music teacher. Sometimes it’s because your goals change with regard to music; sometimes it’s because you’ve learned all you can learn from them. If you’re still clearly progressing, there’s no reason to switch teachers. In fact, a good teacher will let you know if it’s time for you to move on.
About Voice Lessons – Specifically
As a voice teacher myself, my last tips are specifically about finding voice teachers. First, make sure your voice teacher is giving your voice exercises. The voice is built of different muscles. Just like lifting weights, your voice muscles need regular exercises to grow strong. If the only thing you’re doing with a voice teacher is singing songs, you’re wasting your time and money!
Second, watch out for teachers that want you to “belt”. Belting can be very harmful to your voice and can even cause you to get vocal nodes! While not all belting is harmful, if you’re trying to carry your chest voice high and your larynx is going up in your neck, you’re on your way to hurting your voice. Not sure if you’re doing it correctly? If your voice hurts or gets hoarse, stop immediately!

A reader recently responded to my blog post Typeface Choice: Ask yourself Three Questions, by raising an important series of questions on changing vision, information accessibility and type readability for an aging population. The reader works for a nonprofit community support agency that is developing outreach materials for rural seniors, adults with disabilities, caregivers and potential volunteers, and wanted advice on the best typeface to use to “keep the printed conversation going with our target population.”
Choosing a typeface for older eyes
Having designed for years for clients whose audiences include these groups, and with my wife having been executive director of a volunteer center in Québec, communicating effectively with people of different abilities is close to my heart. And having had considerable vision changes in the last 5 years, I have first-hand experience that has informed my design decisions for print and online work.
How do I design for adults with vision challenges?
If your audience includes people in the growing demographic of over 50 years old, what is the best way to clearly communicate with them? The first, most obvious answer is that basic principles of good design and communication need to be followed. These include:
- Readable type size, legible typeface choice, reasonable line lengths
- Good color choices, well-contrasting elements
- Clear and impactful design, good layout and eyepath
The additional specifics of designing for an older population’s eyesight limitations are driven by some of the following conditions:
- Loss of Light Advancing age causes the pupils to shrink, less light enters the eye, causing vision problems in low-light environments.
- Inability to Focus The eye’s lens loses elasticity, becomes less able to focus while reading.
- Vision Field Loss Age-related eye diseases include macular degeneration, which is vision loss in the center of the visual field; glaucoma, which affects side or peripheral vision; cataracts, which cause blurred vision, faded colors and glare; and diabetic retinopathy, in which damaged retinal blood vessels cause blurred vision, severe vision loss and blindness.
These factors will increasingly affect how we design and construct signage in and on stores, museums, parks and other public spaces, hospitals, roads, airports, train stations and subways; and how we design and format type in brochures, direct mail and other print collateral, websites, online and email advertising, and other electronic communications.
Typography basics: even more important for aging eyes
There are some basic rules for type legibility which become even more critical for aging eyes. Think of this as improving information accessibility—the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) actually has typeface and design guidelines. Here are a few examples from an ADA spec sheet on specialty signs:
– All letters, numbers and/or symbols shall contrast with their background, either light characters on a dark background or dark characters on a light background. 70% contrast recommended.
– Characters and background shall have a non-glare finish.
– Letterform shall be Gill Sans upper case or other san serif or simple serif letterforms.
– Character Width to Height Ratio between 3:5 and 1:1
– Character Stroke Width to Height Ratio between 1:5 and 1:10
In other words: non-reflective letterforms and symbols should contrast well with their background, the typeface should not be too condensed or too extended, not too thin or thick, or not have thick/thin variation within the structure of the letterforms. A few typefaces that meet these requirements are: (san-serif) Helvetica, Arial, Futura, Gill Sans, Avant Garde, Trebuchet, Verdana, Franklin Gothic, VAG Rounded, Frutiger, and (serif) Garamond, Century Schoolbook, Glypha. Some of these fonts are also standard typefaces on the web, for good reason. A backlit screen presents readability issues that parallel those of older eyes—excessive glare, focusing difficulty, lack of contrast, too much or too little light—so typeface choice is even more critical in electronic display communications materials for aging eyes.
Should I use a serif or san serif typeface?
First of all, there are generally two ways we use type, headline and body text. Headlines are larger, shorter and more quickly and easily read than body text. Since body text is longer and smaller, extra care must be taken when formatting it for aging eyes. Some guidelines: 12-14 point minimum size, with liberal leading (line spacing). Make sure line lengths are no more than 2-1/2 alphabets (65 characters). Flush left, ragged right (instead of justified) allows the eye to find the next line easily. And traditional typographic wisdom holds that serif typefaces are easier to read in long blocks of text. However, some of the above recommendations for ease of readability may seem to conflict with this. There is an ongoing debate on this issue, challenging traditional wisdom, asking whether serif readability is a myth, especially in light of the age of backlit screens surpassing ink-on-paper readership.
Do I choose between good design or readability?
Good design and readability don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Tiny strings of letterspaced type can be attractive design elements, but if they can’t be read by your 50- or 60-year old customer, they’re useless. Instead, the designer must create beauty AND readability, and there are many options to accomplish this while accommodating the needs, physical challenges and comfort level of an aging population. I see these recommendations not as limiting, but an opportunity to be inclusive, to attract more people. Some of the best design is big, bold, beautiful and unmistakably clear, and those qualities make your message appealing to people of all ages.

Company: Clear Springs
Liaison(s): Fred Boling
Clear Springs owns 18,000 acres of rolling land located in Polk County, Florida, which is midway between Tampa and Orlando. Founded as a new eco-friendly community by Stanford N. Phelps, Clear Springs plans to dedicate 6,000 acres of land to renewable energy feedstock production. The objective of this TMP was to analyze the renewable energy market and determine the optimal energy feedstock for this new community. Working directly with Clear Springs, the team identified algae and switchgrass as the two best suited energy feedstock options. For the analysis of the algae biofuels market, the team investigated all the companies currently involved in the field, conducted extensive interviews, created financial models, and developed detailed market reports. In addition, switchgrass strains and biofuel production technology were investigated and a final report and recommendation were provided. The team also succeeded in developing a laboratory analysis of algae composition and growth characteristics. The algae and switchgrass financial valuations were supported by Crystal Ball risk and valuation software, which was utilized to forecast outcomes for the different investment proposals and provide reports to conduct a return on investment analysis. The team recommended several business proposals to Clear Springs with supporting marketing, financial, and laboratory information. The recommendations provide Clear Springs with the knowledge and resources necessary to make a final decision on how to proceed with their renewable energy venture.

How Can Phone Calls Affect a Small Business
Whether you use a phone for work, or simply personal use, many of us have received illegitimate phone calls at some point in our lives. This can affect how confident we feel on using the telephone, as well as our perceived views on the company the scammer is claiming to call from. However, phone calls aren’t all bad. Sometimes they can be used to help benefit your working practices, and even increase revenue. By considering the different aspects, you may be able to improve the ways that you and your employees use mobile phones at work.
Time spent on a call needs to be productive, otherwise, it is effectively time wasted. Unfortunately, when dealing with scam calls, any time spent speaking to these individuals has just taken away from something important. If an employee is unsure about the nature of the call, it could be a good idea to create a policy where they can simply hang up and search for the number, for example ‘who called me from 01914265602?’ and then either call the person back, or report it to their managerial team. Not only can this help to prevent additional time from being wasted, but it can also go a long way towards stopping scammers from gaining information, or even money, from your business.
Even though calls may be a central part of your business operations, that doesn’t mean that employees feel comfortable in making and receiving them. In fact, a study found that 52% of millennials feel some level of anxiety about talking on the phone, and would rather send an SMS or email instead. To overcome this, you may want to consider boosting their confidence through additional employee training sessions. Creating standard scripts for employees to use can also help by giving them something to read from. This can be especially useful for those who feel so anxious that their mind goes blank. Supporting your team in working through and overcoming these anxieties not only can improve the ways they work for you, but may also benefit their overall wellbeing.
Increase Client Base
Not everything regarding telephone calls at your small business is negative. When utilized properly, they can help to increase the number of clients that you have, as well as sales that you make. Learning how to efficiently cold call those who may be interested in what you do, as well as follow warm leads on those who have previously expressed an interest, or used your services before, can keep people coming back time and again. When speaking on your business phone line, it can be good for your team to sound warm and receptive, as well as treating each person as an individual. Clients may like that you take a genuine interest in what they have to say, and building that rapport can help to establish a positive working relationship.
Using phone calls within your small business can come with pros and cons. By finding the best solutions for any negative aspects, and highlighting the importance of the positive, you may be able to take your business even further than before. | <urn:uuid:8036baab-dedb-4207-9cd3-0dd8778acd36> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://small-bizsense.com/how-can-phone-calls-affect-a-small-business/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967724 | 613 | 1.835938 | 2 |

Today’s ‘good people’ post is a bit shorter than usual, because … Filosofa forgot that it was Wednesday, and last night I spent a few hours preparing what I thought would be this morning’s post. And then, as I was setting it up on the schedule for 3:00 a.m., I saw the calendar and … oh sh*t … it’s Wednesday! I considered going with my original post, making my apologies, and doing the good people post later, or tomorrow, but … I know you guys count on it and in today’s environment, we all need to be reminded of the humanitarians who walk amongst us. So, it is a bit short, but it is heartwarming, I promise you!
Dale Schroeder lived his entire live in Ames, Iowa. He was, as his friend Steve Nielsen described him, “… that kind of a blue-collar, lunch-pail kind of a guy. Went to work every day, worked really hard, was frugal like a lot of Iowans.” Mr. Schroeder grew up poor, never married and worked as a carpenter for 67 years at the same Des Moines business. Just your average Joe … or Dale.
Now, Steve Nielsen was a friend, but it also happens that he is an attorney. One day near the end of Dale’s life, he popped into Mr. Nielsen’s law office and wanted to talk about his will.
“I never got the opportunity to go to college. So, I’d like to help kids go to college.”
When Nielsen asked Dale …
“How much are we talking about, Dale?”
The answer stunned Nielsen, who says he nearly fell out of his chair …
“Oh, just shy of $3 million.”
When Mr. Schroeder died in 2005, he owned two pair of jeans – church jeans and work jeans – and a rusted Chevy pickup truck. But Mr. Schroeder left a legacy that will live forever, for because of him, 33 people were able to go to college and come out debt-free!You may wonder why I am writing about this now, some 14 years after Dale’s death, but I have my reasons. This month, the group of 33 who have dubbed themselves “Dale’s kids” got together to honor the man who changed their lives. They’re now doctors, teachers, therapists — and friends.
There’s just one thing Schroeder asked for in return. “All we ask is that you pay it forward,” Nielsen said. “You can’t pay it back, because Dale is gone, but you can remember him and you can emulate him.”
One such recipient, Kira Conrad, tells her story …
“I grew up in a single parent household and I had three older sisters, so paying for all four of us was never an option.”
Y’know, folks, to most of today’s politicians or wealthy industrialists, $3 million is a drop in their bucket, probably not even worth losing a night’s sleep. But to Dale, it represented two things: a life lived frugally, without all the toys and gadgets that we think we simply cannot live without, and an opportunity to give of himself to others, to give others a chance to do what he was never able to do. I have stated before that I don’t have much use for millionaires and billionaires, but if they were all like Dale, used their money for the betterment of people … what a wonderful world it could be.

We've all been there: Walk into our kitchen and find an army of ants marching across the countertop. But don't panic when you spot a steady stream of ants marching across your kitchen countertop or loitering along a windowsill. It's a very common problem, and while they can be pesky, it's not hard to eradicate the problem and prevent them from returning. You can get rid of those ants—and send them packing for the (ant) hills—if you follow these easy steps for how to get rid of ants permanently.
Whether they're attacking your home inside or out, we've researched the best ways to get rid of ants once and for all. We have some natural solutions to get rid of the bugs without chemicals. And if you find other pests in your home, learn how to get rid of fruit flies, how to get rid of gnats, how to get rid of stink bugs, and how to get rid of carpenter ants before the damage is done (talk about destructive!).
How to Get Rid of Indoor Ants Permanently
- Play detective. Step one is to get to the bottom of what's attracting the ants in the first place. Whether it’s a sticky drip of honey down the side of a jar or a stray spoon in the sink, there’s always a source. Clean up whatever has attracted your new tenants, and if you're lucky, they just might move out on their own.
- Shut down the scouting. Teams of scout ants search for food using pheromones. These pheromones leave behind a trail for other ants to follow, so simply sweeping the ants away won’t cut it. You have to destroy their tiny trail, and you can do that with a mix of one part vinegar to three parts water. Simply spray it anywhere you've spotted ants.
- Ready, set, repel. To eliminate ants naturally, mix peppermint or lavender oil (two scents ants hate) with water and spray mixture on entry points like windowsills or door frames. If you decide to take the chemical route, look for a product with boric acid, and make sure to carefully read the instructions. (Some can be harmful to pets and small children.)
- Count to three. Once you set out the repellents, avoid the temptations to kill any ants. They’re going to do all the hard work for you and take the poisonous bait back to the nest.
How to Get Rid of Outdoor Ants
- Send out a search party. Look for ant beds in your yard or along your home's foundation. Carpenter ants tend to hide in damaged or wet wood, so inspect tree stumps, wood piles, damaged trees, old patio furniture, and any outdoor structures.
- Make a splash. Once you’ve found the nest, pour boiling water over the ant hill or spot treat with an outdoor insecticide.
- Get to (yard) work. A well-kept property is the easiest way to keep ants at bay. Keep a watchful eye for branches, bushes, or shrubs that touch your house and can provide easy access for ants to make their way inside.
How to Keep Ants Out of Your Home For Good
- Seal all entry points. Caulk and seal any cracks or exposed crevices in doors and windows.
- Hide the sweets. Black garden ants (fun fact: they're actually dark brown!) are the most likely invaders. Keep food—especially honey, maple syrup, and sugar—in airtight containers or tightly wrapped with foil or plastic wrap.
- Do your chores. Regularly clean countertops, floors, cabinets, and pantries where crumbs are most likely to hide. Keep your pet's food properly stored between feedings and regularly clean pet bowls.
- Take out the trash. Make sure trash cans (especially in the kitchen!) are covered and inspect the can for any residue that might be lingering after you take out the garbage.
When to Call the Pros
If a handful of ants turns into an army and you've tried everything, you might just have an infestation on your hands. Call in an expert to inspect your home. They can identify the ant species and properly exterminate them. | <urn:uuid:9626d969-6e36-4664-8bf6-f7524afae6d2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.countryliving.com/home-maintenance/cleaning/a27245158/how-to-get-rid-of-ants/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.92604 | 878 | 1.804688 | 2 |
Today’s Daily Progress has an
on the Crozet
past week’s discussions about population estimates
One item is misleading in the editorial. It suggests the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) developed an even greater population projection for up to 33,000 people in Crozet with a master plan in place. To my knowledge, PEC has not done such a public analysis. Supervisor Dennis Rooker mentioned PEC did provide some back of the napkin estimates about Crozet’s growth in response to this week’s news that the County had determined that Crozet could grow to 24,000 people
the first 20 years of the master plan [
County analysis here
]. However, PEC’s estimates should not be interpreted as a detailed analysis of Crozet’s future with a master plan in place. I don’t think it is helpful for the Daily Progress to throw out another much larger number without being clear about the assumptions for each. Based on my discussions this week with local leaders, there is a lot that needs clarification about all these estimates. On that point, I agree with the newspaper.
I did want to follow up on an
where I drew a comparison of Crozet to the City of Charlottesville. I now have calculations for the size differences in square miles. | <urn:uuid:2d136ff6-0f41-4123-9d53-f2e58c4afe6a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/daily_progress_/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.932711 | 299 | 1.945313 | 2 |
Losing weight will be accompanied by overwork and constant fatigue. Changes in diet and exercise can dramatically change your lifestyle. The goal is to lose weight and gain muscle, but sometimes, on the contrary, you can reduce muscle mass instead of fat, which is not the best scenario.
Today, there are many ways to look at fitness trainers at work for free or become a fitness addict, expand organic reach and change the lives of modern people for the better.
Don’t harm your body
“The process of losing muscle instead of fat is very harmful to the body because muscles are the main tool for our body to move and function normally,” said Gerardo Miranda-Comas, assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine Rehabilitation Center. “A decrease in muscle mass negatively affects energy and endurance, which reduces the functioning of the body.
If done correctly, your body should not lose muscle mass during the initial weight loss. “In general, muscle mass does not decrease until fat is burned; it mainly depends on diet and physical activity,” says Miranda
People who try to lose weight by forbidding food may lose muscle mass before they burn fat.”
How did it come about?
The body primarily uses carbohydrates (glucose) for energy. “If it is not found in sufficient quantities, the body uses glycogen, which is stored in our liver and muscles,” said Miranda Comas. Fat in the body is also used for energy production, which depends on the degree of physical activity; anyone can teach the body to use the fat it contains for energy. (Basic principles of the keto diet)
“A healthy diet is about 45-65% carbohydrates, 15-35% protein, and 20-35% fat,” said Wells Delbridge of the Academy of Nutrition. “Our goal is to eat a balanced diet that does not prohibit any foods.”
It certainly depends on what kind of diet you are on. Some may be restricting carbohydrates (the keto diet), while others may be high in protein (like the Atkins diet) or fat. If you take the limitation to an extreme, your body will definitely react to it. But how do we know that we are losing muscle mass, not fat? See five signs
1. You feel tension during your workout
Workouts are challenging for you, and you feel like you’ll miss them altogether.”You feel less energetic in the gym, the weight you used for the reps may decrease, you will have no energy to use the reps like you used to,” says Spencer Nadolski, author of The Recipe.
2. You feel relaxed when you go about your daily activities
You won’t notice muscle contractions in the gym. “Improper nutrition can reduce muscle mass, which can lead to dysfunction of the body, which manifests itself in a lack of energy and overload,” said Miranda Comas.
3. The percentage of fat in your body does not fluctuate
If you are losing weight but your body fat remains the same, you are losing weight by losing muscle mass.
“Your body will not get the shape you want.” Your circumference will begin to shrink, but the mass of skeletal fat will not change, “said Dr. Nadolski
4. You lose weight quickly
“The revised numbers on the scales will worry you, but this is terrible news for your muscle mass unless you have too much fat to lose first. The more fat you have, the more weight you will lose compared to muscle. Losing weight will be accompanied by overwork and constant fatigue, this is a marathon, not a sprint. “People only need to lose 1-2 pounds (0.5-1 kg) per week,” Delbridge said.
5. Your exercise is not progressing
When you are tired, it is difficult to force yourself to carry on. If you find it challenging to do strength training, this could be another sign of muscle loss. Albert Matin, founder of the Soho Strength Lab, says many factors make sense, but the lack of progress during exercise will convince you that you cannot meet your body’s needs.

At UBC we are thrilled to be associated with scientists working passionately to bring innovative therapies and drugs to market. Innovations that will be the difference for how many people live their lives. As treatments are becoming more “personalized,” they encounter new hurdles which delay them from reaching many patients. These approved and available treatments can frustratingly remain just out of reach. Here’s a story about Mike and a little on why…
More Than an Annoying Itch
Mike is 47, and when he is not applying his craft of building homes and making them more comfortable, he likes to spend his days on the waterways in the Florida Keys. It’s a great life, but he can’t seem to shake a more than annoying itch and the buildup of debilitating plaques that often renders his hands incapacitated.
Mike lives with severe Atopic Dermatitis: a skin disease defined by red, itchy inflammation of the skin. He has been on Prednisone, topicals, steroid injections, and even placed in clinical trials, yet nothing has worked to allow Mike to live a normal life. Mike, a difficult case, was enrolled in a clinical trial for Xeljanz (an anti-IL-4 mAb by Pfizer), which worked to decrease his symptoms. Dupixent (similar anti-IL-4 mAb, by Regeneron/Sanofi) is FDA approved but he can’t get reimbursement for the drug because it is not on his insurance company’s formulary.
With no alternatives, the only options for Mike is to pay $2,800 a month out of pocket, or wait for 6+ months to see if this will be added to his formulary, awhile he fights through a lengthy appeal process. But even this does not guarantee access through insurance, his specific plan may not cover this specific drug. Today, Mike has to make do with the prescribed medicine that can commonly prove effective but only slightly mitigates his symptoms. It is also known to exhibit possible long-term health complications such as heart, kidney, and liver damage.
Mike’s story highlights some of the new problems associated with drug development. Specifically, the difficulty of procuring the drug that is highly beneficial or personalized to a unique patient but can also cost significantly more.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have designed new studies to illustrate the effectiveness of their drugs and are increasing efforts communicating these results to payers. Examination of the drug’s specific needs and the therapeutic areas it serves is a primary consideration within drug development. Displaying drug and medication value through evidence will be critical in order to ensure that the use of cost management tools, do not interfere with providing care to all patients, not just those who benefit from the more generic and cost-effective treatment.
Formulary Exclusion Lists Create Challenges for Pharma and Payers Alike
Limiting the access of medications is a method for managing pharmaceutical spending, used widely by health maintenance organizations and closed health systems. As formulary exclusion lists incorporate new products and expand into new areas more patients will be challenged with access. For example, CVS’s Caremark exclusion list has grown 3.5 times and includes 134 drugs across 51 classes since 2012.
View a list of more than 80 common drugs that will be dropped from Medicare and most insurance company’s formularies in 2018. | <urn:uuid:393676aa-8f3a-499d-ba47-33abd3344ee9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.unitedbiochannels.com/755-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.964081 | 704 | 2.171875 | 2 |
Junior School Trip back to The Romans
Today our Year 5 Pupils stepped out of Radnor House and into Roman Britain
On Thursday, our Year 5 pupils had a day out at Gunnersbury Park Museum, where they explored different aspects of everyday life in Roman Britain, from clothing to food and bathing, during a specially designed Roman workshop.
They got to meet Julius Caesar and Boudicca, became museum curators and explored Roman remains from over 2,000 years ago. There was also the chance to try on a toga or two. The workshop was well designed and pitched just right for our youngest pupils, who all enjoyed their trip, and who are looking forward to bringing their new knowledge into the classroom.
We are so impressed with how immersed Year 5 were on their History trip! | <urn:uuid:6f1faca3-e9b1-4f80-b2b4-8ee85ca15d4d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.radnor-twickenham.org/about/news-and-events/latest-news/junior-school-trip-to-the-romans | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.981303 | 164 | 2.234375 | 2 |
In a town as steeped in both history and craft beer as Richmond, it’s no surprise that yet another historic beer recipe has been resurrected by a contemporary brewery. This time, Garden Grove Brewing and Urban Winery
has connected with Wilton House Museum
for a new twist on an old recipe. The beer will be released at the brewery on Saturday, Dec. 2.
The Wilton House Spruce Porter is based on two historic recipes: a spruce beer recipe from a 19th-century cookbook, “The Virginia House-Wife,” by Virginian Mary Randolph and George Washington’s recipe for a molasses porter from the Smithsonian archives. Mary Randolph’s recipe calls for young spruce tips — in this case, harvested from Garden Grove co-owner Mike Brandt’s yard — molasses, allspice and ginger. “We let these recipes guide our process as much as possible, including fermenting the beer entirely in oak casks,” says Chris Sarnoski, assistant director of marketing and events at Garden Grove.
Though it may seem that the use of eccentric ingredients is an invention of the craft beer movement, early Virginia brewers found creativity to be a necessity. The New World wasn’t planted with fields of barley and hops awaiting the settlers, so they made beer — that necessary beverage — from a variety of ingredients.
“Spruce was widely available, and red or black spruce shoots — or, more often, essence of spruce — were often used in place of hops, contributing bitterness and preservative qualities,” says science librarian and culinary specialist Alison Kelly. “Other substitute flavorants included ground ivy, a common weed, and ginger — not native to this country, but a very popular import through trade. Persimmons, pumpkin and molasses were all used as alternative sources of sugars where they were available.”
Mary Randolph was born in 1762 in Chesterfield County at Ampthill Plantation, now DuPont property and ended up in the Moldavia house in Richmond. The house, at the southeast corner of Main and Fifth streets, was later purchased by John Allan, Edgar Allan Poe’s foster dad, and is says to appear in Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
Though the Randolph families were quite influential and moneyed, Mary Randolph’s husband, David Randolph — also her first cousin once removed — was cast from his political position by President Thomas Jefferson and the couple’s fortunes fell. To help make ends meet, Randolph opened a boarding house on Cary Street in Shockoe Bottom “for the accommodation of Ladies and Gentlemen.” The couple later moved to Washington and Molly published her cookbook, which became immediately popular.
Like many American colonists, George Washington was fond of beer, which was bought and brewed at Mount Vernon. Porter is generally accepted as his favorite style.
The Partner and the Event
A Georgian colonial manor, Wilton House was erected on the banks of the James River east of Richmond in about 1753 by William Randolph III. In its heyday, it hosted colonial leaders such as George Washington — not sure that he ever slept here, though — Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette. Nearly two centuries later, the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America rescued the house from being razed because of the property’s new industrial zoning and moved it to its current location off Cary Street Road between the Huguenot Bridge and Carytown. The organization still owns Wilton House and opens it to the public as a museum, showcasing the 18th-century plantation home and a decorative arts collection of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century silver, ceramics, textiles, paintings, documents and furniture.
“The idea behind the collaboration is to help increase visibility for the Wilton House as well as a fundraiser,” says Sarnoski. Garden Grove will contribute one dollar to the museum for each Spruce Porter sold.
Root Stock Provisions will offer food at the event, pairing classic Southern ingredients with the historically inspired Virginia beer: cheddar, apple grilled cheese sandwiches with butternut squash soup, a ham biscuit with house-made brown sugar ham, pimento cheese, pickles, and a sausage plate with house-made sausage, spruce porter mustard, sauerkraut, brown bread and sweet tea-braised greens. | <urn:uuid:7746ff70-abac-48bd-85ad-22d88c4795cc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://m.styleweekly.com/ShortOrderBlog/archives/2017/11/29/garden-groves-historic-beer-collaboration-with-wilton-house | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96038 | 933 | 2.0625 | 2 |

Abstract: In current inventive technology, latency, power and area are the crucial parameters to outline any kind of the algorithm on FPGA. The fundamental tool used for DSP applications is Fast Fourier Transform. FFT plays a vital role in acquiring the signal characteristics with least use of carrying out parameters. The adder plays an utmost importance. To make the best possible adder design regarding delay and area, various works have been proposed before. In proposed system, a combination different sub adders like Carry Look ahead adder (CLA), Ripple carry adder (RCA), and Carry save adder (CSA) is proposed. This reduces the delay and area but also increases the speed. The hybrid adders is proposed to represent FFT architecture in place of conventional adders. Hybrid adder will act as a complex adder. Speed multipliers are fundamental parts of DSP systems. Multipliers are complex process and consumes more time. In order to lower the complexity multiplication, various multiplier less method are introduced. An efficient DA based complex multiplier is proposed, in place of regular multiplier. The pipelining technique is applied only to hybrid adder. The design of Radix-2 FFT for 8 point of FFT, 1024 point of FFT is done, programmed using Verilog language. Using Xilinx 14.5i tool with Spartan 6 kit, Simulation is achieved.

ZIMBABWE: Robert Mugabe's long goodbye
We start in Harare where President Robert Mugabe's exit and the takeover by Emmerson Mnangagwa are dominating the news across the continent. It is particularly important for politics and business in neighbouring South Africa. As political violence intensifies in Kenya, rights groups are calling on the government to do something about the high number of shootings by police. And a bribery case in New York is raising uncomfortable questions for the Chadian and Ugandan governments.
ZIMBABWE: Robert Mugabe's long goodbye. A week after the military moved against the President's faction of the ruling party, he steps down
Celebrations in the streets of Harare and Bulawayo yesterday (21 November) nearly matched those of Independence day in 1980 as news of President Robert Mugabe's resignation spread across the country. This time, hope for genuine political change is qualified by the harsh lessons of the last 37 years and the deep political divisions in the country.
At the heart of concerns about the future will be Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is due to be sworn in as Zimbabwe's new President on Friday (24 November). Although the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front, which stands to be strengthened by the change of leader, is calling on Zimbabweans and outsiders not to pre-judge Mnangagwa and his agenda, there is strong scepticism about his support for wider political change.
Civil rights activists point to Mnangagwa's role as Chairman of the Joint Operations Command which led the mass repression of the opposition of the Movement for Democratic Change and its supporters after its presidential candidate Morgan Tsvangirai won the first round of the presidential elections in 2008. The brutality was so severe that the MDC withdrew from the second round of the elections. Months of political stalemate was followed by a power-sharing government between the MDC and ZANU-PF.
Given that the opposition was comprehensively out-manoeuvred in that power-sharing arrangement, few expect such a deal to be repeated. But the opposition is expecting Mnangagwa, as the hard man of ZANU-PF, to make some concessions on political freedoms, land rights and the establishment of an independent electoral commission.
The street parties greeting Mugabe's exit and the mass demonstrations last weekend have unleashed a popular energy that will make it difficult for the new government to bring back the police state.
Zimbabwe's army is basking in its popularity as engineer of the 'second liberation' and for putting the police in their place. Mnangagwa's call for Zimbabweans of all political colours to join the reconstruction effort suggests that he could offer a political breathing space on Friday.
Tsvangirai has suggested that Mnangagwa has the opportunity be the Deng Xiaoping to Mugabe's Mao Zedong. The comparison is not so far-fetched. Deng was a stern authoritarian but a pragmatist on ideological debates coining the slogan: 'It is doesn't matter what colour the cat is as long as it catches mice.' Another Deng slogan: 'To get rich is glorious' might also find favour with the Mnangagwa team.
Mnangagwa and the people around him are businesslike, with close ties to big companies and banks in the region. Over the past year, they have met diplomats from China, Europe and the United States to discuss the importance of stabilising the country after Mugabe's exit and getting investment flowing again. Whether this will mean a credible and broad-based transition is another matter.
The agenda and duration of that transition, and the extent of opposition participation in it, will emerge in the coming days. If it can gain national support, the possibility of the country bringing back millions of its well-educated and entrepreneurial people and some of their capital looms large and will hugely boost the recovery effort.
SOUTH AFRICA: The first signs of the Mugabe effect are bad news for President Jacob Zuma
Robert Mugabe's resignation letter to Zimbabwe's parliament on 21 November cheated South Africa's President Jacob Zuma of a chance to play the role of mediator in Harare. Zuma's expected trip the following morning was quickly cancelled.
It could be that Zuma will see wider effects from the fall of Robert Mugabe after the failure of his plan to shoo in his wife as the candidate to succeed him as leader of the African National Congress. Zuma's opponents in the ANC are already drawing parallels between his campaign for his ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma to succeed him and the failure of Mugabe's bid to position his wife Grace as his successor.
The ANC Chief Whip, Jackson Mthembu, has called on Zuma to step down as soon as the party's presidential elections are over next month to allow internal reforms.
He added that the party must emerge with a new image from the December elective conference if it is to win the next national elections in 2019.
Mthembu also keenly supports Vice-President Cyril Ramaphosa, the leading rival to Dlamini-Zuma in the party elections, who is calling for wide-ranging reforms in the party and government.
A new opinion poll by the South African Institute of Race Relations, based on a survey in the ANC's branches suggests that Ramaphosa is well ahead of Dlamini-Zuma in the leadership race. However, insiders say the race remains wide open in the remaining three weeks before the critical vote.
KENYA: Rights activists accuse police of targeting opposition in shootings as Britain endorses Uhuru victory
Two major human rights organisations, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, are urging President Uhuru Kenyatta's government to rein in the police which they accuse of involvement in 67 killings last month, mostly shootings of opposition activists.
They also raised alarms about shots fired at opposition leader Raila Odinga's car on 17 November as police tried to disperse his supporters welcoming him home at the airport. As clashes between Odinga supporters and police continued into the city centre and surrounding townships, local journalists reported that 15 bodies, mostly with gunshot wounds, were brought to the Nairobi mortuary the following day. Many more wounded were taken to hospital. The latest death toll is over 20. Police insist they are using non-lethal methods of crowd control and blame the deaths on clashes between supporters of Odinga and President Kenyatta.
This escalation of political violence comes just as Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson became one of the first international politicians to congratulate Kenyatta on his victory in the second round of the presidential elections which Odinga had boycotted.
CHINA/UNITED STATES: Chinese company officials arrested in the US over attempts to bribe top Chadian and Ugandan officials
Chadian President Idris Déby Itno and Uganda's Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa are reported to have been the target of a bribe scheme run by Chi Ping Patrick Ho, former Home Secretary of Hong Kong, and Cheikh Gadio, former Foreign Minister of Senegal, who were arrested in New York last Saturday (18 November). They are accused of organising for $400,000 to be transferred to President Déby and $500,000 to Kutesa in a scheme organised during the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2014. Kutesa was chairing the UN General Assembly that year. So far there has been no comment from the governments of Chad and Uganda.

Logistics in large parts of Southeast Asia is not only complicated, but also expensive. recipient wants to solve this problem with a platform that not only lets customers book trucks, but also uses algorithms to determine the best route based on location, truck loads and even the weather. The company announced today that it has raised a $70 million Series C led by Gobi Partners and SPIL Ventures with participation from returning investor Inspire Ventures. This brings the company’s total since its inception in 2015 to $109 million.
The high logistics costs mean consumers end up paying higher prices, said founder and CEO Tom Kim. “From our point of view the market is number one, the inefficiency in trucking and freight transport has driven up costs significantly. Imagine you are in California, Los Angeles, and you are shopping for a pair of Nike shoes. What proportion of these sales costs is spent on logistics, transport and warehousing? The answer is very well documented. It’s about 8%. If you buy the same Nike shoes in China, the answer is around 15%. And if you buy the same Nike shoes in Indonesia, Thailand or the Philippines, the answer is much closer to 25%, maybe even over 30%.”
The company says it has grown its gross transaction value by 3.2 times over the past 24 months and will surpass $100 million this year. It currently has 500 employees and 100,000 drivers on its platform.
Deliveree is currently available in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. It mainly focuses on large trucks that move trade goods or large items. Kim said it is more searched than other logistics companies, according to Google Analytics. These include goods sixGo Box, Kargo Tech and Logical in Indonesia; Mober, Inteluck and TheLorry in the Philippines; and Giztik, TheLorry and Ezyhaul in Thailand.
Kim added that the logistics war is particularly heated in Indonesia, where many logistics startups like Waresix have received funding.
“There’s a lot of startups and breakthrough technology being built in space here, and it’s definitely a very active market,” he told TechCrunch. “There are all these well-known players like Waresix or even Kargo Tech. The Philippines and Thailand are also interesting and great markets, but there are fewer players in the logistics space, especially freight, truck and freight.”
One of the problems Deliveree solves is the inefficient use of trucks. For example, trucks deliver a load of goods but then return empty to the warehouses. However, if it’s part of Deliveree’s system, businesses can book it to ship goods on the return journey. This makes better use of the money spent on fuel, time and dispatch teams.
“In Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, there’s an insane amount of empty trucks driving around because everyone has their own corporate fleets,” Kim said. “They only deliver in one direction and the truck comes back empty. This even applies to long-distance shipping, when you’re sending goods from a warehouse to a facility in another city. Same thing happens: you send the truck full one way and it comes back, sometimes hundreds of miles, empty.”
Deliveree solves these problems with a dynamic marketplace that Kim says currently has tens of thousands of customers and suppliers, including a combination of independent drivers and trucking companies. The marketplace’s technology combined with its volume can identify customers on a truck’s journey in both directions, so it rarely runs empty. The marketplace aggregates demand and determines optimal routes to keep trucks full. Kim said that prior to Deliveree’s launch, a usage rate of 40% to 50% was considered above average. However, with Deliveree’s marketplace, trucks can achieve up to 80% utilization thanks to Deliveree’s internally generated dataset, which has been in the works for five years.
“Even though it’s far from perfect, it’s getting smarter every day because we make thousands of bookings every day, and it’s able to make more accurate predictions about the length of the booking, the day of the week, the time of day, and even the weather. Those are all things that have drastic long-term implications,” Kim said.
This also means that the warehouse has shorter queues as Deliveree’s algorithms can predict loading and waiting times.
Most companies have their own fleets, which means they need to hire dispatch teams, admin teams, security teams, parking lots, and security guards. It’s still the most prominent way, Kim said, and involves a lot of overhead for the companies. Kim said his argument in introducing Deliveree to companies was that they could deleverage their balance sheets and book trucks on an asset-light basis. That means they only pay for trucks when they need them. When the pandemic struck, many companies saw their revenue decline, and Kim said that led to greater adoption of Deliveree as they attempted to increase revenue. This growing adoption of Deliveree as more businesses looked for ways to save money and turn their fixed costs into variable costs.
The courier monetizes by charging the customer a fee and splitting it with the carriers. The standard supplier ratio is 80% to the independent truck driver or trucking company and a 20% commission to the company.
In a prepared statement, Kay Mok, Managing Director of Gobi Partners, said: “Post-pandemic, we are moving into an inflationary environment plagued by supply chain issues. Deliveree has built the best technology platform for customers, enabling them to optimize and reduce the total cost of ownership for the logistics and shipping company.”

Addressing FMLA Administrative Challenges for Teachers: FMLA Special Academic Rules | Venable LLP
Schools face particular challenges when coordinating teacher leave. Although teachers are entitled to take up to 12 consecutive weeks of leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for covered reasons, upholding their right to take such leave can be difficult for school administrators trying to minimize disruption in the classroom.
Fortunately, the Department of Labor regulations implementing the FMLA contain specific rules applicable to schools, including independent schools, that provide school administrators with greater flexibility to coordinate teachers’ covered leave requests to minimize the burden. that the FMLA leave imposes on schools.
The FMLA’s special school rules apply only to educational employees whose primary duty is to teach students in a classroom, small group, or individual setting. Educational employees include teachers, coaches, driving instructors, sign language interpreters, and other special education assistants. Teaching employees do not include other school employees, such as counselors, psychologists, cafeteria workers, maintenance workers, bus drivers, teaching assistants and others people who do not instruct students as part of their primary job.
Leaving towards the end of term
Special school rules apply to teachers who request leave near the end of a school term. If a teacher begins FMLA leave more than five weeks before the end of a term, the school may require the teacher to remain on leave until the end of the term if their leave is expected to be at least three weeks and the employee would otherwise return. work for the last three weeks of the term. If the teacher begins the FMLA leave during the last five weeks of a term, the school may require the teacher to remain on leave until the end of the term if the leave is expected to be longer than two weeks and the employee would return to work for the last two weeks of the term. If the teacher begins the FMLA leave during the last three weeks of the term, the school may require the teacher to continue taking leave until the end of the term if the leave is expected to last longer than five working days.
When a teacher is required to remain on leave until the end of a school term, special school rules require schools to designate as FMLA leave only the period during which the teacher is actually unable to work, not the period after which they were able to return to work but the school asked them to remain on leave. In this case, the initial period of leave is required by the teacher and therefore should be charged against FMLA entitlements, but the additional leave is required by the school and therefore should not be charged to the teacher.
Similarly, if an employee’s FMLA leave begins before summer vacation and continues through the following school year, the period during summer vacation that the employee would not have been required to reporting for work does not count toward an employee’s FMLA leave entitlement. When the FMLA leave continues beyond the end of the school year, the school must continue to provide the employee with all benefits during summer vacation that the employee would normally receive had they worked at the end of the school year and was not on leave.
Teachers taking intermittent leaves pose significant problems for schools. For teachers taking longer leaves under the FMLA, schools are able to find a single, long-term substitute teacher who can continue to follow a class’s lesson plans during the teacher’s absence. of origin. For teachers taking intermittent leave, however, schools must find multiple short-term substitute teachers to cover frequent teacher absences, which significantly disrupts lesson plans and the classroom schedule. To help deal with disruptions in the classroom caused by intermittent holidays, special school rules impose certain limits on teachers taking intermittent holidays. If a teacher requires intermittent leave and the employee would be off for more than 20% of the total number of workdays during the leave period, the school may require the employee to take a certain period consecutive days off not exceeding the duration of the teacher’s scheduled medical treatment, or a temporary transfer to another available position for which they are qualified, which has equivalent pay and benefits and which better suits the periods recurring leave than the regular position of the teacher.
Other FMLA requirements still apply
In addition to special school rules, schools must always comply with their other obligations under the FMLA when responding to leave requests from education employees. For example, schools should ensure that there are proper procedures for notifying employees of their eligibility under the FMLA, designating FMLA leave, requesting medical certifications, and returning employees to work after FMLA leave.
Schools are well advised to review their current FMLA policies and procedures to ensure they are taking advantage of special school rules and complying with their other responsibilities under the FMLA. | <urn:uuid:78da3cf4-3044-421a-a50a-2f8d110153aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sinigep.info/addressing-fmla-administrative-challenges-for-teachers-fmla-special-academic-rules-venable-llp | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.973316 | 969 | 1.632813 | 2 |
It seems that the obsession to obtain our president’s tax returns is still alive and well among certain democrats and members of the media. Some democrats say that Trump must turn over his returns based on an “obscure 1924 law” that gives the House Ways and Means committee the right to review anyone’s tax returns. One argument I have heard multiple times is that the Ways and Means committee can obtain the returns and then vote to release them to the public. The Trump administration has made various arguments claiming that there are other laws which override the request from the House Ways and Means Committee.
I’m certainly not a constitutional law expert, so I won’t attempt to comment on the administrations arguments, but I am familiar with tax law. The “obscure 1924 law” that the democrats are referring to is currently known as Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code. The general rule that the IRS must follow is that tax return information is confidential and cannot be shared with anyone for any reason. Exceptions to that general rule are found in Section 6103. If Section 6103 overrides any other laws, then the democrats are partially correct. IRC Section 6103 (f) gives 3 congressional committees the authority to review any tax return. However, at the end of IRC 6103(f)(1) it reads ” only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure. ” So there are 3 committees that have the authority to review any tax return in closed executive session, but they do not have the authority to release any return information without the written consent of the taxpayer.
Personally, there are many things I think are more important than finding out what is on President’Trump’s tax returns. However, one positive thing I see in this whole debate is that apparently the IRS takes it’s mission to protect the confidentiality of private tax information very seriously. In recent years we have seen numerous leaks of information from congress, the executive branch and the nations top law enforcement agencies. But to date, no one at the IRS has leaked the private tax information of the president, in spite of the public outcry for that information. At least in this area, the IRS is doing it’s job well. | <urn:uuid:5508a35f-7674-44d1-b464-dd31849b7b68> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.lstaxservices.com/2019/06/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954923 | 472 | 2.015625 | 2 |

Why it Works
While many avenues exist for boosting the power output of an engine, most approaches focus on ways to increase the volumetric efficiency of the system. Ported heads, larger diameter exhausts, headers, and bigger throttle bodies serve to decrease the resistance to airflow through the engine. The modification shown here, however, does not increase the volume of air flowing through an engine, but rather increases its mass flow.
Cold air is more dense than hot air and takes up less space. So if your engine can ingest cooler air, more air can be mixed with more fuel, which gives more power. An additional benefit is that cooler air has a higher resistance to knock, allowing more ignition timing advance - or boost in supercharged applications. Either way, they both equal more power! This is the theory behind cold air intakes, ice on the manifold, and intercoolers.
The intake air in EFI engines is drawn through the airflow meter and throttle body, and then into an alloy intake manifold. During its residence in the intake manifold casting, the air charge picks up unwanted heat from the manifold, increasing its volume and lowering the resistance of the engine to knock.
One of the possibilities for reducing the intake air temperature is to install a cold air intake. However, another possibility is to reduce the heat conduction from the hot engine to the intake manifold by thermally separating the two. By replacing the steel intake manifold gaskets with an insulating spacer, heat conduction to the manifold can be greatly reduced. The best material for the spacers has a low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, is able to withstand up to 300 degrees F (~150 degrees C), and is affordable. Phenolics, with excellent insulating properties, high stiffness, and the ability to withstand 500+ degrees F (260 degrees C), are commonly chosen for similar applications. Additionally, the coefficient of thermal expansion of a phenolic is similar to that of aluminium, which helps to reduce sealing problems in this particular use.
When compared to the 0.025 inch steel gasket it replaces, a quarter inch thick phenolic insulator will conduct 200-1000 times less heat! Although the insulation benefits increase with thickness, ¼ inch (6.4mm) sheet was chosen because this is the thickest that can generally be used with stock mounting studs and bolts.
Several companies, including Ford Motorsport, offer insulators for 5.0L Mustang owners as well as for carburetted applications - just look through a Summit Racing catalog!. The most common thicknesses are 3/8 -1 inch and prices are generally in the US$50-$60 range. However, as is usually the case when it comes to performance mods beyond intakes and exhausts, nothing was available for my Mazda V6. This is one reason I decided to look into the possibility of designing and fabricating some insulating spacers for myself (and also anyone else who was interested).
Building upon a previous spacer design, I was able to create a CAD drawing of the item and got several quotes for making a production run of approximately 50 sets potentially utilising everything from standard milling and machining to abrasive water jet cutting. I found a competent local company and after working through some initial fabrication problems, I was able to get sets made that were of very high quality. Too bad you can't see them after they're installed!
I now have insulators to suit the Mazda 1.8L-2.0L-2.5L K Series V-6 engines, with more than 75 sets so far being sold for this engine. I am currently considering expanding the coverage to include some other vehicles in the sport compact segment (Honda, Nissan, Toyota, etc) - please contact me for more details.
Installation of a set of insulators should take approximately 3 hours and can be accomplished by the average home mechanic with common tools. I did the install outside in my driveway and had no major problems. I was initially concerned about the amount of jury rigging that might be required, but was pleasantly surprised that for the most part, it is a bolt-on job.
Having seen the unsubstantiated claims of numerous bolt on parts suppliers who say that their product will give you "up to XXXX extra horsepower!", I was determined to be able to show data that the insulators indeed worked as claimed, or didn't work, if that was the case. I have used three different methods of testing the effectiveness of this mod - dyno numbers, temperature data, and quarter mile drag strip results.
I wish I could say that I have a chassis-dynamometer in my garage, but such is not the case. I do have a G-Tech Pro, but I have not been overly impressed with its accuracy or repeatability. So how did I do the testing? I heard about a computer program called The Home Dyno while I was lurking on a Honda/Acura list (gotta know what the competition is up to!). In a nutshell, you make a recording of your spark plug pulses taken from an inductive pick-up on one of your plug wires during a 1500-7500 rpm acceleration run. You then download the pulses into your PC and The Home Dyno is able to construct a power plot using the relative time differences between the pulses.
Being a mechanical engineer by day, I was somewhat doubtful about the method, but after giving it some thought, I decided to purchase the program and give it a shot. After using it for the past several months, I have been absolutely amazed by The Home Dyno's accuracy and repeatability. The program outputs a graph as well as a load of data that can be dumped into Excel or other spreadsheets and then manipulated. It also corrects for altitude, weather conditions, driveline loss and aerodynamic drag. In addition to the graphical output, the HomeDyno also outputs several pages of numerical data. It really is neat little program and I highly recommend it, especially for those all wheel drive vehicles that cannot so easily be dyno'd.
During my dyno runs, I was always careful to pay attention to vehicle weight (there is a scale near my home), weather conditions, and I did a run in each direction then averaged the results to take care of any road grade and wind discrepancies. My runs before and after the installation of the phenolic spacers were done on the same day with all variables as close as I could manage, ie warmed up engine, same stretch of road, etc. According to the plots, I gained approximately 7hp and 11 ft-lbs of torque using the spacers over the majority of the power curve. I can make no claims as to the accuracy of these results, but they do seem reasonable.
Manifold Temperature Data
The basic function of the insulators is to reduce intake manifold temperatures, so what better way to test than to record and compare temp data before and after the install? I took the temperature readings from the front centre intake runner using a professional quality CPS T200 temperature sensor with a time constant of the order of 5 seconds. The sensor was mounted on the front middle intake runner for all tests and the vehicle was driven as close to 60 mph (~100 km/h) as traffic would allow. After the driving test, the engine was allowed to idle for a sufficient time to show the maximum temperature.
The data is shown as a temperature change above ambient. As you can see, the temperature of the intake manifold reached a steady state of approximately 30 degrees F (17 degrees C) lower - 40 degrees F versus 70 degrees F - with the insulators than without during 60 mph cruising. During the idle test (the higher temps at the right end of the graph), the non-insulated engine was 52 degrees F (29 degrees C) hotter and still climbing when the test was aborted. A non-quantitative comment: I can place my hand on the intake after a drive with the insulators installed, whereas I would have burned myself previously!
Quarter Mile Drag Results
My best time prior to the spacer install was a 15.360 at 88.469 mph with a 60 foot time of 2.209 seconds. This was during last year's season where I ran 29 races at Thompson Drag Raceway in north-eastern Ohio. The first time back at the track this year I ran a best of 15.262 at 89.315 mph with a 60 foot time of 2.282 seconds and with the insulators as the only additional modification. The temperature during both races was about 55 degrees F (13 degrees C). To summarize, I was ~0.1 seconds quicker and ~1 mph faster, all with a .073 second slower launch.
Having seen many people shell out hundreds of dollars for performance mods of dubious value, I wanted as much data as possible to show that this intake manifold insulator thing really worked. I was able to show that:
- The intake ran 30 degrees F (17 degrees C) cooler at cruise and at least 50 degrees F (28 degrees C) cooler at idle;
- According to my dyno plots, I gained up to 7 horsepower and 11 ft-lbs of torque over the major portion of the power curve.
- My best time at the track was ~0.1 seconds quicker and ~1 mph faster.

Installing the Spacers on a Mazda 1.8L-2.0L-2.5L K Series V-6 Engine
- Philips and flat screwdrivers
- needle nose pliers (for removing hose clamps)
- metric sockets
- putty knife (for scraping mating surfaces)
- gasket sealant (I used "Form A Gasket Sealant" by Permatex, part# 1B)
- 1/2" and 1" sanding barrels for your drill
- claw or magnetic pickup tool (handy for fishing out that dropped bolt!)
- clean rags
- Pull the fuel pump relay and then start the car. The car will run for a few seconds and then die. This is to relieve pressure in the fuel runners connected to the intake manifold. The fuel pump relay is located under the plastic cover behind the battery.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Remove the intake manifold, airflow meter, and elbow from the throttle body.
- Remove the spark plug wires from the rear cylinder bank and looms. Look for oil.
- Disconnect the electrical connections to the crankshaft position sensor and coolant temp sensor (left side of engine bay to you) and the knock sensor, TPS, fuel injectors, distributor, etc (right side)
- Remove the PCV hoses from the throttle body.
- Remove the throttle cable from the mounting bracket by squeezing the plastic tabs, then remove it from the throttle body.
- Remove the electrical connections to the VRIS and remove the VRIS solenoids with bracket from the manifold.
- Carefully remove only the vacuum hoses that are directly connected to the intake or throttle body. Most of the 682 (or so!) vacuum hoses between the engine and the firewall do not need to be disconnected. Obviously, pay attention to where they go. Mazda was kind enough to mark some of them with coloured dots to help installation.
- Remove the mounting bolts for the PCV pipe that runs behind the manifold.
- Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail. Be careful not to lose the copper crush washers. Also disconnect the fuel return line and vacuum lines to the fuel pressure regulator.
Now before you get all excited thinking you're ready to remove the manifold, Mazda has left a surprise for you. There is a bracket that holds the EGR solenoid valve that is attached to the rear head and the intake manifold. You must remove the nut that attaches it to the manifold. It is tricky, but perseverance will pay off. The bracket is very stiff and there seems to be no reason for this bolt except to foil your plans to easily remove the manifold. Needless to say, I did not replace this bolt when I reassembled the engine.
Now you can remove the 4 bolts and 2 nuts attaching the manifold to the heads. Carefully lift the manifold off the engine and disconnect the coolant hoses to the throttle body and any other things I forgot to mention. You will lose a small amount of coolant from the throttle body. Remove the manifold from the engine bay, rub your aching back, and admire your handiwork. You may want to stuff rags or paper towels into the intake ports to keep debris from falling in there.
You will now want to clean the sealing surfaces on the head and intake manifold. I scraped them with a putty knife to remove old gasket material. Be careful not to gouge the surface.
It is now time to port match the spacers with the cylinder head and intake. I designed the insulators to be slightly smaller (~.5mm) than the intake ports so that port matching could be done. It is interesting to note that the heads for the different engine sizes seem to be nearly identical.
You will notice, however, that the port in the intake manifold is smaller than the intake port in the head. The difference in size is greater in the smaller displacement engines. I used my cordless drill and sanding barrels to match grind the spacer with the port in the cylinder head. This was easier and went more quickly than I had expected. Since the intake runner is smaller than the intake port, I used this opportunity to remove some of the cast surface at the exit of the runner to better match the intake port.
Once you are satisfied with the fit of the insulators, put a light coating of gasket sealant on both sides of the spacers and position them on the heads. I did not use intake gaskets when I reassembled the engine. I'm not saying that you cannot, but the mounting studs may not be long enough for spacers and gaskets. Replace the intake manifold, taking care not to disturb the position of the spacers. Remember to reconnect the coolant hoses to the throttle body during this step. Replace the manifold bolts and nuts and torque them down to 14-18 lb-ft (19-25 Nm).
On 2.5L engines, you will need to loosen the 2 bolts attaching the rigid fuel line to the engine. This should give you enough play to make it reach the fuel rail. If you are still short, remove the rubber insulator from the fuel line bracket and it should fit fine.
Now the words we love to hear, "Installation is the reverse of removal."
Once everything is back together, start the car, listen and look for leaks, and go for a ride. When you're done, place your hand on the manifold. Much cooler. | <urn:uuid:788cb9a8-9ccc-433b-ad19-db69238b400f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/a_110474/article.html@populararticle | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.956766 | 3,172 | 2.5 | 2 |
The Vikings and the Romans were among the most dominant military forces of their times. Since the Roman Empire spanned large parts of Europe in its heyday, it is not unreasonable to assume that the two powers would have met in battle. However, the Romans actually preceded the Vikings, ruling out this possibility.
The Viking era in Europe came after the Roman period in terms of historical chronology. Whereas the Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 A.D., the Viking Age only began in 793 A.D. And although the Eastern Roman Empire continued to exist until 1453 A.D., it was not centered on Rome and Europe.
This article will provide an overview of the timelines of the Viking and Roman epochs and explain why Viking and Roman armies never met on the battleground.
Timeline of the Vikings: Overview
The Vikings were Norse pirates who, driven by the limited availability of resources in their Scandinavian homelands, set out to raid the ships and coastal towns of other nations. The Vikings were advanced shipbuilders, avid explorers, and settlers and traded widely in goods and slaves.
Because Norse culture was primarily oral, the beginning of the Viking Age is usually dated to their first violent contact with Europeans. The historical record sets the date as 793 A.D. That year, the Vikings raided a monastery at Lindisfarne on the north-eastern coast of England.
This does not mean that Vikings did not exist before this date, only that there is no known record of them any earlier.
Monasteries were a favorite target of Viking attacks because they were wealthy. Monasteries and churches were also poorly guarded, based on the expectation that no Christian would attack them. The Vikings–who were pagan–had no such qualms.
Over the next 300 years, the Vikings continued to raid coastal towns and cities all over Europe. After spreading a pall of terror over Christian Europe, they ventured further south, attacking the Muslim kingdoms of Andalusia and North Africa. Swedish Vikings expanded eastwards via the Baltic sea.
Over the era of their dominance on the seas, the Vikings:
- Sacked Paris
- Built Dublin
- Administered large parts of North-Eastern England
- Colonized Normandy in the North of present-day France
- Traveled as far as Constantinople in the east and Newfoundland in the west
However, the Vikings weren’t merely pirates and raiders. They were also great settlers and traders who established cooperative relations and alliances with many kingdoms over time. It was these successes that eventually led to the unraveling of the Viking Age.
The Vikings who had settled in Normandy converted to Christianity and allied with the Frankish emperors of present-day France. In 1066 A.D., the descendants of these Vikings–who were known as Normans–defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and established their hold over England.
Thus, the Age of the Vikings ended in the 11th century when the seafaring Vikings settled. Although they were a significant force for only 300 years, the Vikings left behind a considerable legacy, most notably in their influence on the modern English language.
Timeline of the Romans: Overview
Rome was founded in 753 B.C. and grew rapidly. Over the next eight centuries, it expanded into a trading hub and cultivated a vast professional army. Eventually, it emerged as an empire, an event usually marked by the ascension of Augustus Caesar as the first Roman Emperor in the first century B.C.
Within a little more than a century, Rome’s Empire was the most expansive in the entire western world. Apart from much of continental Europe, Rome also ruled large parts of Britain and had territories in West Asia, North Africa (including Egypt), and islands in the Mediterranean.
In 285 A.D., Emperor Diocletian split his unwieldy kingdom into two halves, each of which was to be ruled by one of his two sons. The Western Roman Empire continued to be run out of Rome, and the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, was based out of Constantinople (present-day Istanbul in Turkey).
After a golden era of prosperity, the Western Roman Empire began declining in the 5th century A.D. Wracked by internal divisions and external invasions, it started losing territories quickly. The Vandals sacked Rome, and the Huns invaded Gaul.
Finally, in 476 A.D., this branch of the empire collapsed spectacularly when its last Emperor, Romulus Augustus, was deposed by a Germanic prince named Odovacar. The Eastern Roman Empire continued for another millennium, only falling to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 A.D.
The influence of the Roman Empire on history, especially western history, is too vast to quantify. From the Latin alphabet and the Romance languages to the Gregorian calendar and the rise of Christianity in the modern world, its legacy is still evident today.
Did the Vikings and Romans Ever Fight?
The Vikings and Romans never fought. The Western Roman Empire had collapsed by the time of the Viking Age, and the Vikings had good relations with the Eastern Roman Empire. They fought for the Byzantine Emperors in battle and provided guards for their protection.
The Roman Empire began before the Viking Age and ended after it. Despite this, the Vikings and Romans did not fight each other in battle because the Western Roman Empire, whose territories spanned the areas where such conflicts were most likely to arise, collapsed more than two centuries before the Vikings began their raids.
Although the Eastern Roman Empire outlasted the Vikings by centuries, it was more remote from the territories the Vikings regularly raided. However, in their travels, the Vikings did get as far as Constantinople. They did so by sailing via the Baltic Sea and Russian rivers.
Moreover, the Vikings had good relations with the Eastern Roman Empire and even provided the Byzantine rulers with soldiers who fought on their side in many battles.
The Vikings also made up the Varangian Guard–the personal bodyguard of the Byzantine Emperors–who protected them from dangers such as the constant threat of assassination.
Thus the Vikings and the Roman Empire–as it existed at the time of the Vikings–were allies. For this reason, they did not fight at any time in history.
Vikings came after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and never fought the Eastern Roman Empire, with whom they had friendly relations. | <urn:uuid:a5fa4d1f-1956-4e99-bdc9-2d3a88725053> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://scandinaviafacts.com/were-vikings-before-the-romans/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968672 | 1,341 | 3.75 | 4 |

Scotland’s public sector looks set to be brought to a standstill when up to 150,000 local government workers strike against below-inflation pay offers on Wednesday of next week.
Some 5,000 members of the PCS civil service workers’ union at the Scottish government and Registers of Scotland will strike on the same day against their 2 percent pay offer.
The Unison, Unite and GMB union members in local government will shut down council services and schools.
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla), backed by both the Scottish and Westminster governments, has refused to improve a pay offer of 2.5 percent a year for the next three years.
Workers are angry at a three-year pay cut in real terms.
The lowest grade in local government are on £5.81 per hour, based on an average 37 hour working week.
As one worker in Edinburgh told Socialist Worker, “It is effectively a pay cut. It is a miserly increase of just 15 pence per hour.”
A council worker in Glasgow told Socialist Worker, “Why should we continue to accept below inflation pay which hurts the low paid the hardest?
“We are not being listened to by the council bosses or the government so we have to make a stand for a decent wage.”
The strikes are part of the growing resistance to the government’s determination to hold down wages.
Another council worker told Socialist Worker, “Food bills have gone up. Rents, mortgages, transport, it’s all going up – everything apart from our wages. Why are we told to tighten our belts when the gas company is making nearly £1 billion in profits?”
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland talks started on Tuesday between the local government unions and the employers.
However, if no above-inflation pay rise is forthcoming then local government workers, north and south of the border, should be arguing for coordinated strike action in October.
Local government workers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland should hold open meetings outside town halls on the day of the Scottish strike to show solidarity and to build momentum for their own fight against the attack on pay.

Matt Yglesias comments:
Urbanisation matters, but it's not always clear how
By R.A. | WASHINGTON
THIS morning, Alex Tabarrok links to an interesting new report on emerging-world urbanisation. There's a lot to consider in the report, but the upshot is that modern economic growth is inextricably linked to urbanisation. I'd argue there are two principal dynamics to this relationship. The first involves what you might call mobilisation. Quite a lot of the extraordinary catch-up growth we observe in emerging markets (and once observed in the development process of now-rich countries) is due to the migration of a large share of the population from low-productivity agricultural lifestyles to much more productive work in urban centres. Simply by pulling a lot of very poor people into cities, taking existing manufacturing technology off the shelf and employing a lot of people in industry and the rest in services, a country can go from being very poor to middle-income.
The second dynamic is the idea-generation capacity of cities, or the city as workshop. Clusters of individuals and firms, in these cases, tinker with technologies and business models until they find things they can sell to other markets. The growth generated by this process is slower than early stage catch-up growth, but its the source of sustainable long-run growth, and it's the dynamic that typically allows an economy to escape the middle-income trap and become rich. One of the big challenges for growth economists is to understand the circumstances under which the urban centres built during mobilisation become effective at workshop growth.
In any case, Mr Tabarrok draws attention to one chart in the piece, which tracks the relationship between urbanisation and wealth across American states:
One thing I like about this chart is that it gives us a few excellent "exceptions that prove the rule." Alaska and Wyoming both have economies based on natural resource extraction and thus benefit in per capita terms from low levels of population.
Agreed. I'd like to point out another interesting feature of the chart; focus on the heavily urbanised states to the right edge of the chart and compare the states above the line to those below. In the rich, productive bunch, we have California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Washington, and, just hanging below the line, Massachusetts. Sitting well below the line we have places like Arizona, Florida, Nevada, and Texas. Its striking how dispersed wealth is at the high urbanisation end relative to the low urbanisation end; the gap between similarly urbanised states like Connecticut and Florida is enormous. This suggests that the two bunches—rich urban states and less-rich urban states—are relying on different kinds of growth through urbanisation, one of which is much more successful than the other.
I think that's right—that the differences between these two cities are directly related to the challenges in understanding how, or under what conditions, cities engage in workshop growth, of the sort that pushes out the production-possibility frontier. I'd also point out, however, that the rich cities are very expensive places to live and also happen to be places from which a lot of households are moving, the better to settle in the poorer but cheaper places below the line. Or, to wrap this all up in a sweeping economic statement: you can make people wealthy by making places wealthy OR by moving people to wealthy places. It is a very funny (and not funny ha ha) characteristic of economics, that it seems to focus overwhelmingly—indeed, almost exclusively—on trying to figure out the former, even though the historical record of success is much greater for the latter.

Carver and gilder Guiseppe Carlo [Joseph] Garbanati was born circa 1775. He was one of a number of Italian craftsmen who settled in London in the early nineteenth century. He was active between 1808 and 1837. His name is first shown in 1808 when he traded from no. 22 High Holborn. He later moved to the Strand. His trade card mentions a ‘Choice Collection of French Carved Picture, Chimney & Pier Frames, French Carved Console & Pier Tables, Cabriole Chairs, and Sofas’. The firm also offered a service of restoring frames and mirrors, and of relining and restoring paintings. Garbanati attracted influential clients, including the Duke of Norfolk. His daughter Amelia married another immigrant Italian carver and gilder, Charles Andrew Nosotti in 1827. His son Paul Garbanati set up in business independently as a carver in or before 1839. Garbanati died in 1852. | <urn:uuid:3c2db653-3e55-4d8d-bc35-11324573f440> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://immigrants.blot.im/1807-1852-high-holborn-holborn | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.966021 | 204 | 1.828125 | 2 |
Natural weight loss is an exercise term that is frequently misinterpreted. Generally, shedding weight by following tried-and-tested dieting and exercise principles is called natural weight loss. Slimming down obviously means excluding any chemicals, drugs or surgical and medical procedures that facilitate weight reduction. A lot of these techniques work, but the effects they provide are often short lived.
In order to lose weight naturally, you have to go back to the basics. You ought to are able to get inside no less than 30 mins of exercise every day to maintain your metabolic process elevated and facilitate weight loss. By merging a very good weight training routine with an effective nutrition program you are able to get results that last. As mentioned before, you are able to go to your desired weight through the usage of chemicals and pills such as fat burners as well as appetite suppressants. However, a lot of these drug treatments have dangerous side effects and you’ll likely regain the fat you lost very fast when you finally just stop consuming them.
A massive amount individuals seem to think that aerobic exercises are the easiest way to burn off body fat and lose weight. This is simply not accurate. As the title suggests, cardiovascular exercises are targeted towards increasing your endurance levels. If you train with weights, the muscle the body of yours creates acts as a catalyst for shedding fat. Muscle is metabolically costly for the body and hence it uses up more calories to maintain the muscle. This shows that you will burn fat and drop some weight on a good weight training program interspersed with cardio exercises to increase your stamina.
Although a great workout program is needed, the make-or-break aspect of your routine is the diet plan of yours. Nutrition accounts for up to eighty five % of the outcomes of yours. If you follow a diet for losing weight, make sure you include a good deal of nutrient rich natural foods. Consume a good deal of protein rich foods including meat that is lean and fish. Avoid eating too many saturated fats. If you go searching for the groceries of yours, always choose food that is new and avoid pre-packaged items any time you can. A good deal of processed foods are filled with preservatives and extra sugar that make them damaging to your fat loss goals.
And so losing a few pounds naturally is really quite simple in theory. Start exercising regularly and eat well. The body of yours will respond favorably when you give it nutrient rich meal including fruits, green vegetables, lean meats & nuts. When your diet is healthy, the blood sugar levels of yours remain optimal and your metabolic rate remains high. To build lean muscle is going to fuel your losing weight even more. Therefore always remember to adopt eating which is good and exercise methods that should give you long lasting results without the risk of side effects. Healthy, natural fat loss is actually a slower process than chemical induced weight loss, however, exipure facebook (try here) your body is going to be far healthier in case you follow the former. Respect the body of yours and you will reap the benefits of a fit and attractive physique. | <urn:uuid:1a2c77ae-f590-437c-b474-7d054866b99d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mup-ochistnye.ru/2021/12/29/all-natural-weight-loss-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965436 | 623 | 2.25 | 2 |
