What did Wolf Messing predict for Russia in 2020? The country faces many changes and trials
At one time, Wolf Messing was considered an influential soothsayer and telepath. There are many legends and stories around it. For example, they say that he easily passed through the guards to Stalin’s office. Some of his predictions related to 2020.
- start of World War II. No one could guess about this, because there was a non-aggression pact between Germany and the USSR.
- end of World War II. Moreover, Messing even pointed to the exact date – May 8th. He said that Russian tanks would enter the German capital and win the war.
- leader’s death. The soothsayer said that Stalin would die on a Jewish holiday if he continued to persecute these people. So it turned out that he died on March 5, and a few days later the Jews celebrated the holiday of Purim, which is a symbol of the struggle for survival.
Messing’s predictions for 2020
What should happen to Russia in 2020? Wolf Messing said that the country would have to go through a series of transformations and trials. And we are talking about economic reforms, crises, natural disasters, and so on. But stability should return by the end of the year. Moreover, the life of the Russian population will gradually improve due to the improvement of the quality of education and medicine.
Messing also said that Russia would cease to participate in military conflicts and become a peacekeeping state. But he also hinted that the country would have time to expand its borders, which can be seen from the situation with Crimea. At the end of 2020, a new leader should declare himself, who will lead Russia on the right course.
Messing wrote that the economic situation would be difficult, but the country would recover without serious losses. Those who invest in new technologies and modernize production can count on the future. But those who cling to the old rules and orders will fail. The soothsayer also hinted that Russia cannot always rely on natural resources, because problems will arise. This can now be judged by the fall in oil prices. | <urn:uuid:03f046c0-4211-4b91-95c8-f4e0e9a74c32> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theworldpredictions.com/what-did-wolf-messing-predict-for-russia-in-2020-the-country-faces-many-changes-and-trials/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.974775 | 445 | 2.21875 | 2 |
Panama’s foreign investment appeal seems to retain its shine despite the governance and transparency issues that keep tarnishing the Central American country’s reputation. And while not without technical hiccups, the expanded Panama Canal is gradually catching up with original expectations.
This is giving an extra boost not only to state coffers, but also to the country’s investment proposition as a whole, as growing cargo traffic translates into higher transshipping and logistics opportunities. Panama has one of the highest GDPs among major Latin American countries and has now widened its horizon by establishing diplomatic relations with China.
If opportunities still outweigh risks, the quality of Panamanian governance and rules is under scrutiny. After the country hit the headlines for the Mossack Fonseca scandal (largely known as the ‘Panama Papers’), president Juan Carlos Varela admitted that his electoral campaign for the vice-presidency received funds from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, which is at the heart of a regional graft scandal. Even though he denied any wrongdoing, Mr Varela’s involvement has weakened his anti-corruption platform and narrowed the space for reforms in his last year and a half in charge.
“[The Odebrecht affair] will make life increasingly difficult for [Mr Varela],” says Gavin Strong, an associate director for global risk analysis at consultancy firm Control Risks.
“Even before the scandal came out, he was already seen as a pretty unpopular president. Part of that has to do with the poor management of his government. But also there seems to be an absolute perceived lack of transparency in his government since he took over. At the same time, it’s not unusual for a president in Panama to be the subject of corruption allegations.”
Mr Varela was elected in 2014 on a platform to rejuvenate the country’s democracy after years of mismanagement. He championed a zero-tolerance approach on corruption, and publicly accused predecessor Ricardo Martinelli of taking kickbacks during his presidency (Mr Martinelli is now in custody in the US facing possible extradition to Panama).
However, Mr Varela himself is now at the centre of a new corruption probe as he admitted receiving money from Odebrecht to fund the 2009 vice-presidential campaign (which he would eventually lose), though he denied any wrongdoing, saying the money constituted a legitimate political donation. A few weeks later, the local press leaked an investigation by the national police that alleged Odebrecht paid millions to both his and Mr Martinelli’s parties to gain “preferential treatment” in the country. Both parties denied any wrongdoing.
The investors' favourite
Corruption in Panama is the flip side of an economy that has been growing at a sustained pace in the past two decades and generating plenty of opportunities for foreign investors, which in turn made it their favourite location in Central America, as well as one of the largest recipients of foreign investment in Latin America.
“Ultimately, the risk associated with investing in Panama is significantly less than investing in other countries in the region,” says Mr Strong. “First, it doesn’t have the security risks of other countries in the region. Then obviously its position makes it a major transport and logistics hub, a perfect place for companies looking to use Panama as a regional base or headquarters.
“There are risks associated with doing business in Panama. Corruption is a problem, lack of transparency in government affairs is also a problem, not to mention the reputational risks associated with Panama’s status as an offshore tax haven, but I think all of this is outweighed by the fact that Panama is a regional trade and logistics hub and the country has enjoyed a great economic growth and resilience.”
Panama received FDI worth $5.2bn in 2016, up from $4.5bn the previous year and its highest ever annual figure, according to Unctad. FDI income now stands at 9.4% of GDP, the highest level among major Latin American countries. Today, Panama hosts the operations of about 140 multinational corporations, according to figures from the country’s finance ministry, with an expanded Panama Canal at the heart of its investment proposition. Strong investment inflows are also shoring up economic growth, which is expected to be 5.8% in 2017 and 6.1% in 2018, the IMF estimates.
“Our investment attraction strategy is founded upon Panama’s connectivity and how the country extracts the most value out of its most significant asset: its geographical position,” says Alberto Alemán, head of national investment promotion agency Proinvex. “Panama is playing an increasingly important role as an economic integrator. We heavily invest in whatever enables [multinational firms] to use Panama as a platform. It’s not about Panama itself, but the regional market of 1.3 billion consumers it grants access to.”
The country has just pulled off a multi-billion-dollar expansion of the Panama Canal, which now allows the transit of mega post-Panamax vessels and has closed the competitive gap with other global trade routes. The expanded canal is already contributing significantly to state coffers, with a 60% increase in toll revenues in its first year of operation.
On top of this, the new set of locks will double the canal’s share of global trade to an estimated 6%, according to insurance firm Allianz, giving authorities an extra chance to capture part of the goods that transit through the canal and add value to its offer through transshipping and other logistics services. Initiatives such as the Colón Free Trade Zone (FTZ) have already flourished around the traffic and the shipping opportunities generated by the canal.
Beyond the canal, the skyscrapers crowding the skyline of Panama City are a testament to the service-based nature of the country's economy. “Even though the canal will continue to be an important part of the economy, we are going to a place where we need to develop other sectors such as tourism or make Panama an innovation and technological hub where the data is stored,” says Augusto Arosemena, Panama’s commerce and industries secretary.
However, Panama retains a stigma for being an offshore tax haven and a money-laundering centre. This creates a reputational risk that prevents it from upgrading its services to a truly global level, particularly in the financial sector.
“We have passed more than 14 new pieces of legislation to protect our financial system and international services sector from money laundering or corruption... we also created a new legislation for stricter ‘know your client’ policies to services providers,” says Mr Arosemena.
“We signed a multilateral agreement convention on tax exchange, and we are negotiating bilateral agreements for automatic exchange, not only upon request. We have also made considerable amendments to the internal revenue service, so that we can have the proper civil servants, and [we are] reinforcing and increasing the budget of these authorities so that it can have the ability to comply with these international standards.”
Among other things, Panama has signed the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, making it the 105th jurisdiction to join the world’s leading instrument for boosting transparency and combating crossborder tax evasion, the OECD announced in October 2016. “The signing shows that Panama is now implementing its commitment to fully co-operate with the international community on transparency,” the OECD said.
With these reforms in the pipeline, Panama is also looking to strengthen its ties with Asian countries, particularly China, with whom it established diplomatic relations in mid-2017 after ending relations with Taiwan. “The future is also [in] integrating with Asia, particularly with China,” says Proinvex’s Mr Alemán, highlighting that as much as 30% of all imports for re-exports in the country’s FTZs are Chinese goods. “From a distribution and logistics perspective, Panama is a strategic place for Chinese companies interested in expanding their footprint across [Latin America],” he adds.
Having ditched plans to build an alternative canal in Nicaragua, China may now opt for Panama as its local base in the region, bringing new opportunities and challenges – but the final outcome will also rest on the upgrades of Panamanian institutions and governance. | <urn:uuid:0cd5bafc-d729-4202-8bc7-a25af0b9b292> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.fdiintelligence.com/content/news/panama-looks-to-fdi-attraction-beyond-its-canal-70507 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.959143 | 1,755 | 1.632813 | 2 |

Two Texas billionaires with ties to Austin are poised to join a club that currently has no members.
Elon Musk, head of Austin-based Tesla, and Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Round Rock-based Dell Technologies, will be among the world’s first trillionaires, according to a new study from Tipalti Approve, which produces procurement software.
Musk is set to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2024, the study finds. That would make him the first person to reach that peak. Tipalti Approve projects his net worth will soar to $1.38 trillion by 2024, when Musk will celebrate his 52nd birthday.
The company based its projection on the 129 percent average annual growth of Musk’s net worth since 2017. Forbes estimates Musk’s net worth at $225.5 billion as of June 9, meaning he’s the richest person in the world.
Tesla and Musk’s other ventures, most notably SpaceX, will fuel his ascent to trillionaire status, according to the study.
“SpaceX generates massive incomes by charging governmental and commercial clients to send various things into space, including satellites, [International Space Station} supplies, and people,” the study says.
While Musk is on track to become a trillionaire by 2024, Dell’s entry into the trillionaires club will take a big longer. The study predicts Dell, with average annual growth in his net worth of 33 percent, will become a trillionaire by 2033.
Forbes puts Dell’s estimated net worth at $57.8 billion as of June 9. By 2033, Dell could be worth $1.26 trillion, the study says. At that point, he’d be 67 years old.
The study envisions Fort Worth billionaire Alice Walton, a Walmart heir, edging past the $1 trillion mark in 2042. At that time, she’d be 92 years old. As of June 9, Forbes estimates her net worth at $58.6 billion. | <urn:uuid:e13481e9-77aa-48b8-ae3b-76be595aac6f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://austin.culturemap.com/news/innovation/06-09-22-elon-musk-worlds-first-trillionaire-says-study/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.952947 | 426 | 1.8125 | 2 |

Other names for this pub “Tuckers” Pullman Bar” “Ben Cleuch” “McCutcheon’s Bar”
84 Caledonia Road, corner of 69 Florence Street, Gorbals, Glasgow. Demolished.
Treanor’s was one of the last pubs to be demolished before the new Gorbals housing estate was built. Treanor’s Bar used to sit on it’s own at the corner of Caledonia Road and Florence Street, however this was not always the case, Caledonia Road was a thriving community of shops tenements and pubs, during the 1950s and 60s many of the old pubs were demolished, the tenement above Treanor’s Bar was also demolished but the pub survived until the 1990s when the new Gorbals was built.
In 1979 Treanors other public house at 53 Cathcart Road was nearly blown up as labourer Ronnie McLachlan kicked a Celtic sports bag which contained a bomb, out of the pub which exploded in the street, hero Ronnie was blown away but survived the blast ex-boxer Derry Treanor surely bought Ronnie a pint for his brave actions. Other well-known Glasgow pubs were also targeted by the UVF , the Old Barns in Carlton, The Clelland Bar in the Gorbals.

In 1888 S J McCutcheon became the new proprietor and licensee, McCutcheon was born in Durham, and came to Glasgow at an early age. When he took over the pub in Caledonia Road his name was painted proudly above the doorway, large etched glass windows ran all the way round to Florence Street where the family department was.
Mr S J McCutcheon. 1892. McCutcheon’s Pub. 1892.
The interior of the pub was grand with a semi circular bar counter made from solid mahogany. Mr McCutcheon stood sponsor for a special whisky known as “Barley Cream,” which had been strongly recommended by the medical faculty and was famous all over the South Side of the city as a panacea for dyspepsia and various kindered ailments.

Tuckers from Caledonia Road.
Yet another name this old pub has had over the years “Tuckers.”
In the News 1973…
New Bar is on the right Rails.
Trade guests were invited to the opening of the Pullman Bar, Caledonia Road, Glasgow, and were received by mine host Mr. Gerry Kelly. The original Pullman has disappeared and in its place have arisen an extremely modern and tasteful public bar and lounge bar. The opening ceremony was performed by Mr. T. McMillan, M. P. (Glasgow Central), who is seen (left) with his wife and Mr. Kelly displaying a model of a locomotive and Pullman coach. 1973.
In the NEWS 1976…
Derry Treanor outside his pub at 53 Cathcart Road corner of Hospital Street. 1976.
Ex-boxer Derry Treanor has begun a one-man fight against the planners of Glasgow.
Derry, who has been a publican for the past 10 years says he couldn’t stand aside and watch the planners tear the heart out of the city’s Gorbals. For years now the threat of the demolition hammer has hung over his bar in Cathcart Road which has become an island in a sea of knocked down tenements.
But Derry, who once fought for the Empire and European featherweight title, has refused to throw in the towel, and instead of closing down has done a complete turnaround and built an extension instead.
The 38 year old publican had had enough of planners saying that his pub would have to go, or that a new road would be built through the middle of it.
As he said matter of factly, “If you don’t do something you’re going to be left with nothing.” So turning his back on the threat of compulsory purchase, he rolled up his sleeves and set about building a new lounge bar which will have live entertainment for the people of Gorbals.
Derry has sunk about £2000 into the job which, if he had left it to outside contractor’s, would have cost three times as much. And he just shrugs his shoulders when people say it could be money down the drain as the council could well close his bar, formerly the Regent Bar, within a year.
“There has been talk for as long as I can remember about a new road coming through here, but there is no money these days to build a new road.
“I see no reason why the pub can’t stand for at least another five years. That’s why I’ve put money into the new lounge which will have live Country and Western music for the customers.”
Continued Derry in the Irish accent he has never lost despite settling in Glasgow years ago, “People say, where do your customers come from?” when they look at the vacant ground round about. But Gorbals people come back. You can never keep them away.
“People who have been moved out to Toryglen or Castlemilk still came back here for a chat and a drink. It’s where they belong. They never wanted to move until the planners ruined the city.”
Also read on the last of the Govanhill pubs from 1977.
In 1899 there were 95 pubs in the Gorbals ward, 57 in Hutchesontown and 103 in Kingston ward. Caledonia Road had 14 pubs and 2 licensed grocers.

What do we need in an accessible voting machine?
Blind users need a machine that can be configured for audible voting with as much ease as possible. The machine should be usable by all voters with minimal or no training needed. The accessible voting terminals in precincts should not be set aside for the use of blind or disabled voters only. All voters should vote on the same type of machine at a polling location. A machine should be usable by both blind and sighted voters.
What should happen during the ballot review process?
As blind voters, we should be able to move freely from contest to contest and not be required to listen to all instructions and text. However, all of the text of each contest must be present if we choose to listen to it. The visual appearance of the ballot does not have to be reflected in the audio presentation, as long as all the information is presented audibly.
At the beginning of the ballot, voters should be informed of the total number of contests. Each contest should be described as it is presented. As contests are selected, the total number of candidates, and the maximum number of candidates to vote for, must be announced. As candidates are selected, the total number selected should be announced. A voter should have the ability to decide to cast votes, skip to another contest, or "under vote " the contest.
Voters must be able to cast their votes at any time. A review function must be available, and the voter must have the opportunity to decide whether to listen to the review or cast their vote immediately. During the review process, it should be possible to move freely between contests and to have the chance to change a previous selection. In addition, blind voters should retain the possibility of obtaining the assistance of a sighted reader at any time during the voting process.
If no user input is provided to the voting terminal for more than twenty seconds, an instruction should be given regarding the choice to be made. The system should not move on to another selection or action until an item is completed. If a voter does not take any action for several minutes, the machine should indicate that the voting process is about to terminate with no ballot cast. This protects against someone else voting in place of the present voter.
Other than the lack of vision, blind voters have the same capabilities as sighted voters. If a machine is in demonstration mode it should announce this fact. Otherwise no special message is needed.
Evaluation Criteria for Electronic Ballot Marking Systems
The following criteria are preferred by a cross section of blind and low-vision voters.
- Machines should be easy to use by both blind and sighted voters and poll workers.
- The user interface keypad should not require technical expertise, and it should be easy to learn at the polling location.
- Instructions on how to use the system should not be front-end loaded, but should be contextual with specific instructions provided based on the action required by the voter and location within the ballot marking and printing process.
- Instructions must be concise and provide a complete list of the buttons and their functions.
- Buttons must be referenced by both shape and color.
- Voters should be able to move from the instructions to the ballot at any time without having to listen to all the details.
- The speech must either be high quality synthetic speech or a high quality digital recording of human speech.
- Capable of proper pronunciation of candidates' names and information unique to local areas.

- Printed ballots must be scanned into the same ballot box as hand-marked ballots.
Evaluation Criteria for Web-Based Electronic Voting Systems
The World Wide Web Consortium has developed the Web Content and Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) that should be followed to ensure that websites and web-based applications are accessible to users with disabilities. These guidelines provide developers with the information necessary to ensure that graphics, tables, form controls, color contrast, interactive components, page structure and navigation, and other elements are properly designed to enable all users to successfully transact their business with the site or application. While it is recommended that all WCAG Level AA guidelines be followed, the following sections address the most critical access barriers that are likely to be encountered with web-based voting systems and suggest the types of solutions to ensure the behavior blind users will expect.
- All active graphics, those providing information or anticipating user interaction, have an alternative text description (ALT attribute).
- Images used for spacing or decoration have their ALT attributes set to a null value, ALT="".
- Tables are not used to perform page layout or element positioning functions, which are more appropriately accomplished through cascading style sheets (CSS).
- Cells that should be treated as row and column headers are correctly identified.
- Multiple leveled headers are correctly nested.
Form Control Labels
- All edit fields, combo boxes, checkboxes, and radio buttons have an HTML LABEL tag that provides meaningful information.
- Required fields are indicated by the use of an asterisk (*) or similar character, which is included in the label tag.
- All supplemental information, such as desired format of data input, is included in the label tag.
Radio Buttons, Checkboxes, and Grouped Controls
- The HTML FIELDSET and LEGEND tag pair are utilized in all cases where it is necessary to convey a contextual relationship between labeled controls and a "parent question."
- All controls on a page are keyboard accessible.
- All clickable text is enclosed in an HTML anchor tag.
- Where a tab order is used to control user navigation, all controls necessary to carry out a function are included in the tab order.
- HTML headings are utilized to organize each web page.

We should note that all of the voting machines demonstrated in the National Center on Nonvisual Election Technology have some of the features discussed here, though no single machine has every feature. It is possible for most blind voters to vote independently on these machines. However, we continue to work with the manufacturers and voting officials on improvements to the machines and the voting process.

Electronic Ballot Delivery System Accessibility/Usability Guidelines
Electronic ballot delivery systems are becoming increasingly popular as the accessible alternative in vote-by-mail states and as the accessible way to vote by absentee ballot. The inaccessibility of paper ballots can be effectively ameliorated by electronic ballot delivery to the disabled voter’s own computer, permitting the disabled voter to use accessibility software to read, fill out, and print the ballot. Because the 2005 Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) do not address electronic ballot delivery systems, the NFB mobile voting working group developed guidelines that voting system developers should follow to make electronic ballot delivery systems accessible.
Electronic Ballot-Delivery System: User Survey
While great progress has been made since the passage of HAVA to make the voting process accessible, some voters with disabilities, such as the deaf-blind, are not able to vote privately and independently on the accessible voting machines typically found in the polling place. Instead, a deaf-blind voter must tell her choices to a family member or friend who marks the ballot for her. Electronic ballot-delivery systems, when properly designed, can remedy this situation by enabling voters with disabilities to exercise their fundamental right to cast a secret ballot by using their own access technology. These systems allow voters to access and mark their ballot at home, work, or school using personal access technology such as a refreshable Braille display connected to a computer. The marked ballot can then be printed and mailed, or emailed as an attachment, to the voter's local board of elections.
With the increasing use of electornic ballot-delivery systems as an absentee voting and/or accessible voting system, data is needed to evaluate how these systems are implemented and what voters think about them. The National Federation of the Blind mobile voting working group has developed a user survey for online ballot-delivery systems that state and local boards of elections can use to obtain feedback from voters who obtain and mark their ballots through an online ballot-delivery system. Elections officials who use these survey questions are encouraged to send their data to Lou Ann Blake, NFB HAVA project manager, for inclusion of the data in the NFB's national repository of data generated with these questions. Data in the repository will be made available to elections officials and researchers.

Under the direction of P.C.
Marsh and the late W.L.
Minckley, Arizona State University (ASU) served since 1988 as a central repository for southwestern native fishes tagging data.
Beginning in federal FY 2009 (October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009), responsibility for these data
transferred from ASU to Marsh & Associates (M&A) under continued direction of P.C.
Information has been assimilated from a suite of mark‐capture and other studies of bonytail, flannelmouth sucker and its hybrids, and razorback sucker at locations along the lower Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam to the U. S. and Mexico International Boundary.
Data is received, processed, and archived from various entities working on Lakes Mohave, Havasu and Mead, in the lower river Cibola, Havasu, Imperial and Palo Verde divisions, and elsewhere along the lower Colorado River.
The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), U. S. Geological Survey, and other entities have funded these database activities over the years.
Ongoing native fish conservation programs on the lower Colorado River downstream of Grand Canyon are expected to result in annual stocking of thousands of PIT‐tagged bonytail and razorback sucker (MSCP 2006) and captures of tens‐to‐hundreds of individuals of these species, plus flannelmouth sucker.
Stocking and tagging records have been acquired and maintained for these programs and fishes for many years, and we now have a well-developed, sophisticated, and user friendly database.
This database provides researchers, managers, and decision makers with timely, up‐to‐date, and accurate information ranging from detailed reports to status or history of individual fish.
As part of its overarching role in the conservation of natural resources along the lower Colorado River, the Lower Colorado River Multi‐Species Conservation Program (MSCP) will need to develop a comprehensive, integrated data management system to accommodate the diverse needs of its several programs and numerous species.
The current database is well‐positioned to integrate with a MSCP system that can address the programmatic needs of the MSCP while also meeting the management and research needs of native fishes. | <urn:uuid:ad3e24f4-42ea-40c2-9577-4d971b95a64d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.grants-gov.net/grants_gov_display.php?program=BOR-LC-17-N002 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.925021 | 460 | 2.25 | 2 |
For this double-production of The Maids directed by Bryan Jackson, the play was performed back-to-back with two differently gendered casts. Each cast performed on the same set but with different stagings and cuttings of the text. The two performances together created a full performance of the play. Key narrative moments overlapped and ceremonial pieces of wardrobe and props were repeated for emphasis. The doubling highlighted how gender expression and sexuality amplify different resonances in the play and examined how the audience reacted to intimacy between characters. | <urn:uuid:03566428-312b-4d44-a7b7-8043f826120b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bryanjacksonfilms.com/the-maids/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.969626 | 109 | 1.625 | 2 |
Under-age and Over-dosed
It’s sad to report a story that has been released stating three teens at a High School overdosed on prescription drugs in the middle of the school day, and then had to be taken away to the hospital on stretchers. One classmate gives a brief statement of the shocking sight he had witnessed. “I saw there was an ambulance approaching the school. I don’t know how long they were there for but I did see people being taken out of the school.” Pill popping is an epidemic across the United States; National Institute of Health estimate an average of 2,000 teenagers take prescription drugs that aren’t theirs every day.
The school district is not disclosing any information as far as what kind of drugs the affected students used, only that they weren’t prescribed to them. They took the drugs before school, but it’s unclear where. A local news station close to this high school asked the school district if they plan to use what happened as a chance to raise awareness about taking prescription medications that are not prescribed to them. A spokeswoman said they haven’t thought about it, but the school has done a lot in the past to raise awareness. Awareness and information are two key things to try and prevent occurrences such as this. When individuals are informed before the situation presents itself, it makes it a little easier for someone to turn down the substances.

John F. Kennedy glimmers through history as the young, idealistic president whose Camelot administration promised a new dawn for America. He did a great deal in his 1,000-day presidency, from embracing civil rights and starting the Peace Corps to negotiating a nuclear test ban and facing down the Soviets on the brink of nuclear war. But fifty years after he was murdered, it's hard to separate the ...

Course 6 curriculum revisions presented by education officers
Fall 2022 curricula changes to be accompanied by subject renumbering
The subject numbers used in this article reflect the numbering changes for Fall 2022 described in this article. The previous subject numbers are denoted in parentheses.
The electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) department held a presentation May 3 from 4–5 p.m. in 26-100 to introduce new/revised curricula for the electrical engineering and computer science (6-2), computer science and engineering (6-3), and the artificial intelligence and decision-making (6-4) majors. In addition to the revised curricula, the EECS department is renumbering its subjects beginning Fall 2022.
Joel Voldman PhD ’01, faculty head of electrical engineering, presented changes to the 6-2 curriculum. The new curriculum eliminates the introductory subject requirement which was previously satisfied by one of 6.9080 (Introduction to EECS via Robotics, previously 6.01), 6.3400 (Introduction to EECS via Communication Networks, previously 6.02), 6.4900 (Introduction to EECS via Medical Technology, previously 6.03), or 6.9019 (Introduction to EECS via Interconnected Embedded Systems, previously 6.08).
Instead, the components of the major include four fundamental subjects, two math subjects, four system design subjects, one communicative-intensive (CI-M) subject, and five elective subjects. Students must take at least one additional CI-M subject and one project-based design laboratory subject as part of their required subjects.
The major’s fundamental subjects include an introductory programming course (some variant of 6.100 [Introduction to Computer Science Programming in Python, previously 6.0001]), a discrete mathematics course (some variation of 6.1200 [Mathematics for Computer Science, previously 6.042]), an introductory algorithms course (6.1210 [Introduction to Algorithms, previously 6.006]), and an introductory programming course in the C and assembly languages (6.1900 [Introduction to Low-level Programming in C and Assembly, previously 6.0004]).
The system design component includes 6.190 (Computation Structures, previously 6.004), 6.2000 (Electrical Circuits: Modeling and Design of Physical Systems, previously 6.002), 6.3100 (Dynamical System Modeling and Control Design, previously 6.302), and 6.9000 (Engineering for Impact, previously 6.010).
For its math component, the curriculum no longer requires 18.03 (Differential Equations) and requires one linear algebra and one statistics course instead. To account for the removal of the differential equations requirement, 6.2000 and 6.3100 will be revised to include differential equations material in context.
The five elective subjects for the new 6-2 curriculum can be satisfied by two subjects from each of two electrical engineering tracks (comprising four subjects) and one additional subject from the EECS elective list. Students may choose from 12 possible tracks, including quantum systems engineering, energy systems, architecture, and hardware design.
Rob Miller MEng ’95, education officer for 6-3, presented changes to the 6-3 curriculum, which also no longer requires an introductory subject (previously satisfied by one of 6.9080, 6.3400, 6.4900, 6.9010).
Similar to its old curriculum, the new 6-3 curriculum requires programming skills subjects, one discrete math subject (6.1200, previously 6.042), and three foundation subjects. In addition to an introductory Python course (some variation of 6.100, previously 6.0001), the new requirements include an introductory programming course in the C and assembly languages (satisfied by 6.1900, previously 6.0004). The three foundation subjects remain the same: 6.1010 (Fundamentals of Programming, previously 6.009), 6.1210 (previously 6.006), and 6.1910 (previously 6.004).
The new curriculum removes one header subject by no longer requiring one of 6.4100 (Artificial Intelligence, previously 6.0134) or 6.3900 (Introduction to Machine Learning, previously 6.036) to avoid overlap with the 6-4 major. The three header subjects, which remain the same from the old curriculum, are 6.1020 (Elements of Software Construction, previously 6.031), 6.1800 (Computer Systems Engineering, previously 6.033), and one of 6.1400 (Computability and Complexity Theory, previously 6.045) or 6.1220 (Design and Analysis of Algorithms, previously 6.046).
The new 6-3 curriculum also includes one CI-M subject and five elective subjects. The five electives can be satisfied by two subjects from one computer science track and one of any Course 6 track, along with one additional subject from the EECS elective list.
Both the 6-2 and 6-3 CI-M subject requirements can be satisfied by either 6.UAT (Oral Communication) or 6.UAR (Seminar in Undergraduate Advanced Research).
Students already majoring in 6-2 or 6-3 or planning to switch to one of the two majors may choose to satisfy either the old or new requirements, but new students arriving in Fall 2022 and later must satisfy the new requirements.
Leslie Kaelbling, education officer for 6-4, presented the curriculum for the new major, which was approved at the April faculty meeting and will be available for students to declare next fall.
The 6-4 curriculum requirements include some variation of 6.100 (previously 6.0001), three math subjects (one discrete math, one linear algebra, and one statistics), and two foundation subjects (6.1010, previously 6.009 and 6.1210, previously 6.006). The requirements also include five center subjects, one each from the data-centric, model-centric, decision-centric, computation-centric, and human-centric subject lists.
Additionally, the requirements include two CI-M subjects (one of 6.UAT or 6.UAR and an additional CI-M) and two elective subjects (one from the list of advanced undergraduate subjects for 6.4 students or a 6-4 CI-M and one from the EECS elective list or from the Course 18 requirements)
At least one of the subjects taken by 6-4 students must be from the societal and ethical responsibilities of computing subject list.
The full list of old and new requirements for the majors, including additional details on the subjects satisfying the requirements, can be found at the EECS website.
The presentation was followed by a question and answer session moderated by EECS undergraduate officer Katrina LaCurts.
LaCurts asked Voldman, Miller, and Kaelbling how a prospective student could approach choosing between 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4.
Miller recommended that students take introductory courses covering several disciplines, such as 6.1010 (previously 6.009), 6.1210 (previously 6.006), or 6.1900 (previously 6.0004), that could contribute to the requirements for any of the three majors.
Kaelbling added to Miller’s response by describing these classes as “diagnostic of what [students] are interested in” and noting that the “lowest level” of courses for the majors is “quite shared.”
When asked about potential changes to the 6-1 major, Voldman said that the department had not yet decided what to do with 6-1 and that “it’s a conversation” the department will be having “over the coming year.”
With the introduction of the 6-4 major and the curricula restructuring, the EECS department will also renumber its subjects to account for its three parts (electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence and decision-making) with a consistent scheme.
The main changes include changing all 3-digit numbers to 4-digit numbers.
Most of the new numbers take the form 6.xxx0. The department website writes that when talking about the subjects out loud, speakers should “ignore the trailing zero and just read the first three digits as significant.” The trailing 0 exists to distinguish between old and new numbers.
Subjects with numbers from 6.1xxx–6.4xxx are introductory and undergraduate subjects, and subjects with numbers from 6.5xxx–6.8xxx are graduate or advanced undergraduate subjects.
Subjects with the form 6.xxx1 or 6.xxx2 are variants of the base subject 6.xxx0, with 6.xxx1 denoting the undergraduate variant of a graduate-level base subject and 6.xxx2 denoting the graduate variant of an undergraduate-level base subject. Additionally, some subjects end with A, B, or L, denoting submodules lasting for the first or second halves of the semester.
Lettered subjects such as 6.UAT, 6.UAR, and 6.THM remain unchanged. | <urn:uuid:60a9b709-46a0-42b2-8e67-02cfe7d30bff> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thetech.com/2022/05/04/course-6-curricula-changes | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.925379 | 1,926 | 1.875 | 2 |

Great health is basic on the off chance that we need to be joyful and happy. Our bodies are our trusty accomplices, and we should deal with them. Recollect that your body isn’t replaceable like your vehicle or phone; your body is with you from the earliest starting point as far as possible, and you ought to put forth a valiant effort to deal with it appropriately. Healthy habits make an individual sound and healthy so here are 10 habits for wellbeing to assist you with dealing with your body and live more and make you a healthy person.
These are the healthy habits of a healthy person.
- Move around for 30 minutes at least
Physical activity has a wide range of advantages, from mental to physiological. Physical action advises your heart to siphon blood all the more productively to move oxygen around and dispense with poisons from your body all the more rapidly. Perspiring additionally eliminates poisons from your body, and practicing invigorates the body and psyche.
This 30 minutes of development is an absolute minimum, and if that absolute minimum is a battle, make it something that you appreciate doing. Healthy people do such things like moving around to ensure fitness.
- Have a favorite sport
This is exceptionally near the 30 minutes of movement, however on an all-encompassing note. Actually, I’m not a very remarkable games fellow, yet I do appreciate playing ball with certain companions. This encourages me a great deal in moving around for 30 minutes every day. Actually, when I go out and play b-ball with my companions, I don’t understand when those 30 minutes have passed. It’s normally an hour or two, and abruptly the sun went down and I understand exactly how much time I spent having a good time while being truly dynamic!
- Eat more healthy
Solid individuals instruct themselves about the food that they put in their body. This is something the vast majority battle with in light of the fact that there are numerous legends and a ton of terrible data is out there on the web. To get to the great data, you’ll have to peruse as much as possible with the goal that you can begin to comprehend and isolate legends from the real world.
Then again, in the event that you would prefer not to figure out the faulty data on the web, you can go to a nutritionist and gain from somebody who went through their time on earth learning this stuff. You simply need to constantly teach yourself about food, macronutrients, and calories. Indeed, even specialized stuff, for example, how to construct muscle and how to get more fit can be overly significant for being solid.
- Have a supper plan
It’s basic to have an acceptable version of timetable and to ensure your dinners cause you to feel incredible and stimulated. You may find that you like to eat certain vegetables all the more frequently, or certain blends of food. You need to perceive what works best for you and abstain from eating an excess of “low quality nourishment”. Likewise, attempt to keep significant cancer-causing agents out of your suppers.
- Sex (have intercourse)
For this propensity, I am looking at adoring, personal sexual connections… not an excursion or an “end of the week thing”. You don’t need to simply take an irregular outsider and engage in sexual relations with them so as to support your wellbeing (periodically laying down with outsiders may simply give you undesirable ailments rather than an improvement in wellbeing). Having cherishing, personal sex with a believed accomplice produces a lot more helpful hormones in your mind than an end of the week throw does. So in the event that you have an accomplice, attempt and zest up your close life, since sex is an extraordinary pressure reliever. Sex additionally siphons up your heart and invigorates your entire body.
- Drink at any rate 2 liters of water for every day
This may appear to be a ton of water for certain individuals – particularly if those used to drinking pop or soft drink for the duration of the day – however plain, past water is the thing that your body actually needs. Some other fluids, particularly squeezes, tea, and espresso, contain included sugars and additional calories that you may not generally need. Water is the better decision.
Water will likewise make you pee all the more every now and again, which keeps your kidneys solid and enables the body to dispose of poisons that are framed for the duration of the day because of digestion. Remaining all around hydrated additionally supports your mind-set and keeps you fit as a fiddle.
- Invest energy outside
Numerous hypotheses suggest spending somewhere in the range of two and eight hours every day in daylight. Direct daylight on your skin enables your body to create supplements like Vitamin D normally, which helps your body with fixes in your bones and teeth. Additionally, a few people may begin feeling discouraged on the off chance that they are denied of daylight – it’s called SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder.
At whatever point you begin feeling low on vitality or simply detached, go for a stroll in the recreation center or read a book on a seat in direct daylight. It may be actually what you need – simply try to wear sunscreen to shield your skin from harm!
- Get at any rate seven hours of value sleep
Note here that I’m discussing quality rest. You might have the option to lay down with the lights on or with clamors out of sight, yet that is undoubtedly not going to be quality rest. Attempt to keep the lights off, don’t have any caffeine for six hours before you rest, turn down the vast majority of the clamors, and turn the splendor down on your telephone in the nights. I likewise don’t suggest working out or eating for in any event an hour prior to you hit the sack.
It’s additionally acceptable to set up your body to rest for 30 minutes with a little “custom” before bed – diminish the lights, brush your teeth, set up your bed, maybe have a go at perusing a page or two of every a book – anything that causes you moderate your riggings and get ready for rest. A comfortable and secure climate is a trigger for the body that everything is acceptable so it’s protected to unwind and rest.
- Think habitually
Thinking is notable for its quieting impact on the brain and for expanding internal harmony and joy. It’s additionally an open door for you to be with yourself, and to watch your astoundingly and as they abandon attempting to drive them. A misstep numerous individuals do when they attempt contemplation just because is attempting to compel them to exhaust their brain. That is in fact the more significant standard of contemplation; however it’s accomplished following quite a while of training. A jumbled psyche with a huge number of contemplations flying around is trying to put to an unexpected stop. The psyche resembles a train – it must be hindered gradually.
Sound individuals grin a great deal. Grinning invigorates the arrival of endorphins in the cerebrum and diminishes pressure. Your mind relates basically utilizing those muscles to grin with having a positive mind-set and an uplifting mentality. Along these lines, grinning will make you more joyful. | <urn:uuid:9d2d2829-eb31-4dde-84eb-81a88f44d01c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.beautyandfitness.xyz/diet/ten-good-habits-of-a-healthy-person/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.944734 | 1,512 | 2.34375 | 2 |

From the speed limit on a dual carriageway, to sounding a car’s horn in the small hours of the morning, driving in flip-flops to using an egg to repair an engine’s radiator, they can seem as confusing as the Spaghetti Junction.

According to a 2018 report by Bain & Company, the global luxury industry is worth a staggering USD 1.3 trillion annually. Of this, the personal luxury market is worth nearly USD 300 billion, and growing. A significant portion of the growth in the luxury industry now comes from emerging economies, particularly from Asia. In India, the luxury market is estimated at around USD 30 billion (Assocham 2018). The luxury industry is generally considered to be recession proof, and as the world gets wealthier, a greater share of this wealth is dedicated to the pursuit of luxury. This makes the luxury industry ever more relevant.
This programme takes an in-depth look at the luxury industry from a marketing perspective. The luxury industry is often poorly understood, largely because the concept of luxury itself has different meanings for different groups and contexts. In addition, many of the rules that apply to traditional marketing do not apply to the marketing of luxury offerings. We begin by providing you with a strong conceptual understanding of luxury. We then take you through the various stages of luxury marketing from an industry overview to brand building, pricing strategies, and to the licensing and distribution of luxury brands.We also highlight emerging challenges and business opportunities in luxury markets such as sustainability and the sharing economy. We cover multiple topics which will help managers to make better decisions related to luxury marketing.
We intend to train new and existing luxury marketers to become better decision makers by exposing them to various luxury brands, concepts, business models and strategies, and the challenges facing each of these facets from a marketing context. After the completion of the programme, you will be able to answer the following questions:
1. What will the luxury industry look like in 2021?
2. How does luxury marketing differ from the marketing of non-luxury offerings?
3. What are the different business models for managing luxury brands?
4. Which tactical levers would you need to pull to achieve your strategic objectives?
5. How can you efficiently manage your luxury brand’s growth?
We draw on a mix of research findings, cases, and handson exercises to deliver the course. We also have two sessions delivered by a guest lecturer who will share his extensive experience in Indian luxury retailing.
The course is targeted at managers and entrepreneurs who are either operating in the luxury and premium sectors or who wish to enter the luxury sector in future. You do not need any existing experience in the luxury industry. | <urn:uuid:31bf216e-cebe-47a0-8187-759f6d7fe215> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://web.iima.ac.in/exed/programme-details.php?id=OTE2 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953257 | 490 | 1.898438 | 2 |
FOX 17 - If you haven't seen the latest "FaceApp" craze of people posting their "aging" pictures, you may be seeing new concerns about the privacy of your photos and whether or not your photos are now in the hands of the Russians.
Internet rumors, social media posts and some news reports are saying that when you upload your photo to the app, you are giving permission for all your photos to be accessible by the app developers, who just happen to be based in Russia.
However, Forbes.com is reporting, by searching through the FaceApp servers, those servers are actually not in Russia, but in the United States, hosted by Amazon. TechCrunch.com posted a response to the rumors from FaceApp saying that photos are all hosted in "the cloud" and data is not transferred to Russia. Also, the app is usable without logging in, and almost 99% of the users do not create logins, which then gives the company some data.
So, this latest craze is probably similar to all previous internet/social media crazes: relatively harmless, but if you don't want your photos out there, don't share them. | <urn:uuid:30826779-8d1b-4a05-bec0-4a91a482bfce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.fox17online.com/2019/07/17/faceapp-craze-spreading-over-social-media-and-prompting-security-scares | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.951344 | 237 | 1.820313 | 2 |
Babies start to crawl at 6th month; others were at 9th. By this stage, babies begin to develop and be more curious about anything. It is proven through studies that their ability to retrieve memories at this early phase of babies’ life was already flexible. Crawling is the transitional step between sitting and walking. As babies grow and learn to be active, they tend to be energetic and out of control. They may bump in hard edges that surround them and get hurt. The best thing to do is find protectors for their knees to crawl freely without getting hurt.
Keeping your baby safe
When a baby starts to crawl, she/he will soon learn to move fast. Sometimes you will be surprised by their milestones. Studies have shown that after few weeks of crawling, infants’ discernment becomes increasingly precise, and exploration becomes progressively efficient. Babies learn to be flexible or adapt to their surroundings, like crawling to flat surfaces and slopes and others. To support them with their active crawling, here are some ways to keep them safe.
Cover their knees
To allow them to move freely, helping them by covering their knees with comfortable stuff like leggings, pants, or pads will keep them from getting hurt. With their knees protected, they will be motivated more to crawl. As babies crawl, they develop their skills like hand and eye coordination, balance, gross, and fine motor skills.
Clear the path
Check the room and make sure that no hazards are available in the path that your child will take. Some risks may be edges of tables or chairs that your child might bump into, or these can be rugs and small objects that they might put on their mouths.
Take the breakables away
It will help if you put the breakables away to ensure that no accidents will happen and no one will get hurt. Breakables are often shiny, and toddlers find shiny things interesting. If parents understand children’s limitations, you can control the unwanted event that may occur or accidents.
Gate for stairs
It’s an excellent idea to have a gate for your stairs, especially if you are too busy to focus on your baby. Even if you want to keep the stairs off-limits, it is better to consider leaving a few steps free for your kids to practice climbing. Toddlers need to learn how to climb the steps and get used to them, and mostly, they need to know to secure themselves in getting down the steps. In a study of children under the age of 2, 97% fell from stairs and suffered from skull vault fracture. Children’s accident may be from crawling or walker-related injuries, at their young age, needs protection like stair gates.

The time is ripe for industry and government stakeholders to consider professionalizing cybersecurity, according to a report from Salve Regina University's Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy ( download PDF).
Demand for cybersecurity skills is increasing exponentially, but the educational, training and certification processes to prep people for careers in the field continue to be highly decentralized, ad hoc and non-standard.
"We not only have a shortage of the highly technically skilled people required to operate and support systems already deployed, but also an even more desperate shortage of people who can design secure systems, write safe computer codes" and create the tools needed to prevent, detect and mitigate attacks and system failures, the study said.
Too many organizations lack the right skills for building and managing secure infrastructures and for dealing with attacks. And those wishing to pursue careers in cybersecurity as a career, have few clearly defined roles and career paths, the authors of study noted.
"There remains a noticeable mismatch between [the] burgeoning demand for cybersecurity talents and the efforts under way to develop professionals who can build and manage secure, reliable digital infrastructures," they wrote.
The Pell study calls for the creation of a nationally recognized association to set professional standards and education and training requirements for cybersecurity similar to what the American Medical Association (AMA) does in the medical field.
It calls on government and industry stakeholders to consider establishing professional associations for each specialty within the cybersecurity field and to develop a common body of knowledge for each specialty. In order to professionalize the field, stakeholders will also need to establish certification and licensing requirements for each specialty as well as apprenticeship and residency requirements.
In many ways, the current situation in the cybersecurity field is similar to what existed in the medical field before it was professionalized, said Francesca Spidalieri, cyber leadership Fellow at Pell Center and one of the two authors of the report.
"There were a lot of self-described doctors, but no standards," she said. "We need some kind of focal point to gather around to foster minimum, basic standards and frameworks so people have a way to navigate the cybersecurity field."
Currently, it is difficult to determine the actual skills and abilities of professionals based on their education or certification credentials, she said. It is even harder to map those skills to real-world job requirements, she said.
"There's nothing that prioritizes different educational programs. There are no standards across different specialties. There is no single organization that can take ownership of this field" as the AMA and the American Bar Association do, Spidalieri said.
Establishing a central body to oversee cybersecurity will involve the participation of all stakeholders, including employers and educational, training and private certification institutes, she said.
One way to get started might be to set up a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) similar to the Department of Defense's Software Engineering Institute, she noted.
The Pell report is not the first to propose professionalizing cybersecurity. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), for instance, put forward a similar set of cybersecurity recommendations for President Barack Obama during his first term.
Critics of such proposals have argued that the sheer diversity of the field -- and the fast pace at which cybersecurity is evolving -- make it very hard to professionalize. Many have argued that cybersecurity is too broad to be treated as a single profession and maintain that the field is still too young to be professionalized.
Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, one of the largest cybersecurity training organizations in the U.S., said professionalization is practical -- but only within the technical roles. "But more than half have non-technical roles, so it wouldn't work across the whole profession."
Where skills are measurable, in areas such as forensics, incident response and penetration testing, employers and the nation deserve a better way of ensuring a person doing the work has the right knowledge and skills, Paller said.
"If it is more general, as in security management, then the variability makes reliable assessment impossible. Note, there is no certification and professional bodies for corporate management -- only for more specific, technical areas," he said.
James Lewis, senior fellow and director at CSIS, called the Pell proposal a good one, but something that will take a long time to implement.
"You need to identify what people need to know, then find a way to train and certify them," Lewis said. "There is real resistance from some job holders who are largely self-taught and the existing certification entities, who fear their business would be threatened," Lewis said. "Think how long it took to get an AMA or ABA, and we're just at the beginning for cybersecurity."

What Should You Have In Your Car for Winter Emergencies
The 30-car pile-up in Carmel got me thinking about the items you might need in a winter emergency kit, so you're prepared for whatever happens.
Police and emergency crews were on the scene of the chain-reaction crash very quickly, but imagine if you had an accident in a remote area. I think about it all the time, since I live in the woods of Orrington, and drive to work before 5 a.m. each day. I went off the road once, and sat in a snowbank for a short time, but had my cellphone and some emergency numbers, so could access help quickly.
I consulted the Maine Emergency Management Agency's website for suggestions on items you should put together in your vehicle, so you're ready for emergency, or maybe just inconvenient situations.
As Amazon Associates, we earn on qualifying purchases.
Shovel, windshield scraper, and broom - These are self-explanatory, but you need more than just that little plastic scraper.
Extra windshield wiper fluid - Finding yourself on a slushy road without windshield wiper fluid could be disastrous. Always keep some extra on hand.
Tire chains or traction mats - Both of these items could help you make your way out of a snowbank without having to call a tow truck. Kitty litter is also good for this, so throw a bag into your trunk or backseat.
Flashlight, extra batteries, and glow sticks - Getting stranded at night means you need some light sources, so keep a working flashlight and some extra batteries to find your way around. And glow sticks make a great source of light inside the car.
Flares or reflectors - These, obviously, will help other motorists to know that you're there and in distress.
Blankets, extra socks, hat, footwear, and mittens - If your car isn't running, or is in a position where running it could be dangerous, you'll need to stay warm. If you're transporting children or pets, make sure you have enough for everyone.
Water and healthy snacks - This one is tricky. You can keep granola bars and some candy in your vehicle, but the water will freeze overnight. So get in the habit of grabbing some bottles of water on your way out and tossing them in the car. And again, if you have pets, make sure to have water and a dish for them.
First Aid Kit - Be ready for anything, so bandaids, gauze, medical tape, OTC painkillers, and some antibiotic cream are all good ideas.
Jumper Cables and a siphon hose - If a passerby stops to help, you want to be prepared, whether you have a dead battery or an empty gas tank.
Cell phone car charger - Keeping your cellphone charged is important but, if you're stranded for a while, you may need to give the battery some love.
Make sure you have emergency numbers programmed into your phone, so you're not wasting time searching online for them. I have the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office, Brewer Police, and AAA New England in my phone. If you often travel with a pet, put a picture of the animal in your car, so first responders will know to look for them. Put all these items together in a tote, and store them in your car, when you can. Not in your trunk. In an accident situation, you may not be able to get into your trunk, so it's better to have them inside the vehicle.

Visitors to the Nation’s capital can’t help notice the Washington Monument. It’s an imposing 555-foot obelisk towering above the skyline. Observant visitors will also notice that the monument is two different colors. That’s because the construction was interrupted by the Civil War, and when they resumed, they used marble from a different quarry that was a slightly darker shade of white. Although accidental, it is symbolic of the two most critical periods in our history. The bottom of the monument represents the American Revolution, during which our Founding Fathers laid the foundation of our Nation, and the top represents the Civil War, the conflict from which we emerged a just and rightful Nation.
Open any US History book and you’ll notice that the text is organized around the Revolution and the Civil War. That’s because these two events established and defined the United States. They are pivotal chapters in our national narrative, and our on-going story to fulfill the promise of the Declaration of Independence. It’s a promise based on the divine and Christian revelation that all men are created equal. This promise is the essence of America, and is what makes our Nation so unique and exceptional.
Understanding history is like playing connect-the-dots. You need to know what came before and after an event in order to see the big picture. In trying to explain why the United States is such an exceptional nation; you need to understand the circumstances and events that surround its birth. Just like connect-the-dots it wasn’t just one, but a series of events that precipitated the American Revolution. The Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party and Massacre, and the Intolerable Acts are all possible answers you might have seen on your high school history final, but they are only part of the big picture. What actually helped the Colonists realize that they “ought to be free and independent States,” was according to John Adams, The Great Awakening.
The First Great Awakening was a Christian revitalization movement that swept across the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s. It emphasized introspection and a commitment to moral living. It encouraged individuals to seek out and establish a personal relationship with God. The Great Awakening helped the Colonist understand that the authority to rule did not go from God, to the king, to the people; it went from God, to the people, to the king. It sowed the seeds that would blossom in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776, when our Founding Fathers bypassed the authority of King George III, and appealed directly to the “Supreme Judge of the World,” in our struggle for independence.
The Second Great Awakening occurred between 1800 and 1840. It reached out to the non-religious, and fueled the growth of Christianity in America. Like the First Great Awakening, it emphasized the individual’s relationship with the creator. However, believing was not enough; salvation required that one actually live the gospels of Jesus Christ, and exercise their free-will to change society for the better. It gave rise to numerous moral reforms, including the abolitionist and anti-slavery movements that helped spark the Civil War.
It is not a coincidence that the two most critical periods in our history were preceded by religious revivals. These movements forced America to take a long hard look at itself, and make some difficult decisions about our national identity. In both instances, we decided to be a Christian nation, willing to live out the divine truth and promise that “all men are created equal.”
It seems our nation only advances when it returns to the source of our greatness. We witnessed it again in the twentieth-century, when the Christian revival movement of the forties and fifties, highlighted by the Billy Graham crusades, helped to usher in the civil rights and women’s rights movements of the sixties and seventies. America moves forward when it returns to God.
In 1831, the French Political Philosopher and Historian Alexis de Tocqueville came to the United States trying to understand why the American Revolution had succeeded, while the French Revolution had failed. He noted in his book Democracy in America, “In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom pursuing courses diametrically opposed to each other. But in America, I found that they were intimately united, and that they reigned in common over the same country.” In other words, the American Revolution succeeded because it was a religious event, while the French Revolution failed because it was an anti-religious event.
America is an exceptional nation because America is a religious nation. We are a nation founded upon a divine truth, and dedicated to the Judeo-Christian principals of the Bible. As de Tocqueville concluded, “America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great!”
Today, the secular-progressives are steering America into perilous waters. They arrogantly view God as an obstacle to implementing their agenda, and mistakenly believe that they can move our nation forward without God. However, they willfully blind themselves to the truth of history. The lesson of the twentieth-century is clear; any nation that abandons God places itself at the mercy of the king, or as several atheist nations learned, at the mercy of a Stalin, Mao, or Hitler. One hundred million people perished during the twentieth-century because their societies vainly believed that they didn’t need God.
On December 6, 1884 the capstone was placed upon the Washington Monument. It’s a cast aluminum pyramid; 9 inches high, 6 ½ inches wide, and weighs 6 ½ pounds. Its main purpose is to function as a lightning rod, but on its east side facing the Capital is the inscription “Laus Deo” (Praise be to God). Let us hope that it also functions as a constant reminder to all the law givers who assemble in the Capital, of the one true law giver, and true source of our Nation’s exceptionalism. | <urn:uuid:3f29a582-5022-4c3a-a91d-a40c2205524c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://think-about-it-blog.net/2013/06/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.957283 | 1,266 | 3.359375 | 3 |
Brutally honest children have helped an amateur board game inventor have another shot at success.
About 10 years ago the Leicester Mercury reported how Tony Messiou have come up with Evolution, which ended up selling about 500 games around the world.
But it was a bit complicated and had a few other flaws that were helpfully pointed out by a group of youngsters.
Now Tony has reinvented the game as Evolve and 1,000 units are on their way over from China.
He said: “When I did the game 10 years ago the BBC organised a thing on the radio with children playing the original game and they were brutally honest!”
The new game – which sees players trying to get their species to evolve from basic creatures to more advanced forms of life – is the same idea as the original but the gameplay has been transformed.
Tony, 70, who lives in Leicester Forest East, said: “It’s been simplified because the children were finding it very complicated. There is also some added interaction between the players where they compete and bid for cards that help them advance.
“There’s also a dice in the game now and more random events like tornados, earthquakes and meteors that can set them back.”
Tony, whose profession involves optical design, said coming up with a game and watching people enjoy it had been hugely rewarding for him.
He said: “The previous version 10 years ago sold about 500 but it wasn’t really generating new sales.
“But for the past decade – mostly over the last year or so – I’ve been developing it and there’s also been a lot more testing, too.
“I’ve now got the new games - they’re currently being shipped over from China.
“There are a few already on sale in Leicester Forest East Post Office for the introductory price of £15. I think the rest will be sold for about £17 to £20, probably.
“I’ll be selling them online.”
Tony has sunk about £4,000 more of his own money into developing and manufacturing the new game but he said it had all been worthwhile – even if it doesn’t make him rich.
He said: “It’s been really good fun to do. It’s great to come up with new ideas and getting feedback and changing things to make them better.
“It’s really rewarding to see people playing the game and having fun, too.
“It feels like its been a continual improvement from the original game to this one and even if I don’t make my money back it’s been worth it.”

We use survey data to test whether it pays to cooperate in innovation activities with rivals (also referred to as coopetition) compared to other cooperative arrangements, notably with non‐rival partners. Applying an ordinary least squares regression to a large sample of French firms (N = 2957), we found evidence of a positive and significant relationship between various forms of cooperation (with and without rivals) and firms’ economic performance, measured by EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Results show that cooperation with rival and non‐rivals taken together increases economic performance, but that the impact of cooperation with rivals is lower than the impact of cooperation with non‐rivals. Estimation results suggest that reaping the full cooperation benefits is not automatic and requires precision dosing and management.

The advent of inclusive beauty and skincare brands like Fenty Beauty and Raw Beauty heralded an age of change; one in which POCs could finally walk into a beauty store, find their perfect foundation shade, and purchase shadows, highlighters, and other products that were right for their skin tone. However, there is no doubt that bit inequities continue to plague the beauty industry. For instance, Black brands make up only 2.5% of the revenue made in this sector, despite accounting for 11.1% of total spending—as reported recently by McKinsey. What are the major inequality issues in the industry, and how can they be overcome?
Inequities are Sizable
The key to beauty and skin care involves finding bespoke solutions for skin needs and wants. People of color need access to and information regarding how to solve common skin conditions such as pigmentary disorders, the incidence of keloids, o acne and psoriasis. Yet McKinsey reports that Black consumers are three times as likely to be disappointed by the options they have for skincare and beauty. Black consumers show a great interest in Black beauty brands (as they understand these brands are likely to understand their ski needs). However, only 4% to 7% of brands carried in typical beauty and skincare stores are Black. Moreover, a maximum of just 5% of employees working in the industry in the US are Black. Black brands raise a lower median in venture capital, despite the fact that their median revenue is almost 90 times higher than the amounts returned by non-Black beauty brands. Clearly, there is a big gap between demand and supply— as well as a lost $2.6 billion opportunity lost. How can this gap be filled so that both Black businesses and consumers can gain benefits?
What is the Road to More Equality in Skincare and Beauty?
To create true equity in this industry, issues must be approached with a multifaceted strategy. The latter includes better store placement, so that Black consumers are better able to access their chosen products. Combined with this, better training is required, so that those attending the public are aware of products and their uses. The number of Black beauty products also needs to be raised, says McKinsey, at least until it reaches parity with Black representation in the population. The organization, Fifteen Percent Pledge, is asking all retailers to fill at least 15% of their shelves with products by Black-owned businesses. The percentage of Black employees should also be increased and they should be hired in positions that influence the placement and reach of products (for instance, in brand management, store operations, and marketing). Finally, private equity firms need to be encouraged to invest in at least 500 Black beauty brands. It isn’t just about funding; Black businesses can also benefit from receiving advice, networking opportunities, and space to innovate.
The skincare and beauty market has made some advances over the years with respect to Black products. However, clear inequities exist and supply does not reflect the true demand. To remedy the situation and increment the revenue for the industry by billions of dollars, inequity needs to be approached with a multifaceted strategy that targets better placement, employment, and investment. | <urn:uuid:6e3ee3dd-5933-47ed-b92d-4af58328f093> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aframnews.com/inequality-in-the-black-beauty-and-skincare-markets-what-are-the-solutions/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967927 | 665 | 2.265625 | 2 |
The job market in India is outgrowing traditional job roles with the advent of new age tech and in the next five years, 40% of Indian employees will need reskilling and 60% will need to upskill to be market ready, according to job data analysed by Monster.com
The top five industries leading growth with new and emerging job roles include BFSI, IT, Retail, Healthcare
, and Production and manufacturing.
The most in-demand new-age tech skills are SEO (up 21% year-on-year) and Digital Marketing (up 20% year-on-year). "These specific skill sets go hand-in-hand with increasing marketing spends by companies in the post pandemic economy with new trends governing the digital space ever so frequently," said Monster.
Professionals skilled in Data Science
(up 14%), Cloud Computing (up 12%), AI/ML (up 8%), Cyber security (up 6%), Blockchain
(up 4%) have also been considerably in demand.
There has been a significant rise in adoption of new-age skills such as Cloud computing, AI/ML and Big data in the last couple of years and this will accelerate five-fold by 2025, indicating an array of newer job roles and skills in the Indian job market scenario, it added.
Employers too are taking initiatives to keep up the demand and supply for talent in emerging skills with a 15% increase in organisation-wide upskilling programs.
Upskilling is growing at a higher pace in tier-2 cities, with more and more companies hiring talent from beyond metros and setting up their offices closer to employee locations.
"Freshers and entry-level talent today should upskill to be job ready and take on newer responsibilities for efficient career growth and stands important for middle and senior management as well so as to ensure that their roles do not fall obsolete. Upskilling should, therefore, be imbibed at each level," said the report. | <urn:uuid:d4ed4c5f-e061-4651-8474-20e2aba74a78> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/business-analytics/40-of-employees-in-india-will-need-reskilling-in-the-next-five-years/92969106 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.950667 | 403 | 1.664063 | 2 |

It was the beginning of a weekend break in Durham. A City I had only briefly explored in the past but now I could explore more thoroughly the history, views and nature, plus much more. The more I read the more I realised that I was going to discover much variety and there was a lot to see. So where to start? Well, Wharton Park was perfect!
A City Escape
Only a few minutes walk North out of the centre, near the railway station, in fact you don’t realise you have gradually climbed up enough to see the best views over the City! A perfect place to start, to look out over all you wish to see in the coming days. The Cathedral prominent on the skyline, wonderful view.
Wharton Park began life when the area was just a wasteland area to the North of the City, called Windy Hill. Land owned by the wealthy local Wharton family and in that time, the 1850s, William Lloyd Wharton. William was a wealthy businessman and land owner, having coal mines and being a barrister. He was also chair of the local railways and as such he had the local Railway built on his land at the foot of Windy Hill.
William also then made Windy Hill a public park for the people. Thus being named Wharton Park. It provided the people of the city a big green space to enjoy, as well as providing the spectacular views ver the City itself. to help the viewers he built a mock castle wall that is the viewing platform.
Now known as ‘The Battery’ after the placing of a Crimean Gun. This is the spot to be to look straight out over the City, Cathedral, the viaduct and beyond, as above. John Ruskin of all people was amazed by the view and literally called it the eighth wonder of the world.
The park has much more than views of course. Paths lead in many directions leading to a whole variety of interesting features as well as things to do for the family.
One of the striking things I saw in the centre was the huge amphitheatre! Right from the beginning Wharton Park was used to hold sports events from far and wide. The railway station helping thousands to travel here.
Well in 1871 the amphitheatre hosted the first Miners’ Gala. Around 5000 people turned up to hear speeches and celebrate with music. A tradition that is still celebrated every July in Durham, at the racecourse now.
The amphitheatre has hosted a lot more besides for sure. From the Irish Galas and The labour Women’s Gala (where Barbara Castle once spoke). Throughout the 20th Century it has been tennis courts, a stage for shows, dances and folk music as well as church events.
Within the park there is a superb modern cafe, play park and a mini electric go kart circuit for the young ones. As I passed through I could sense that this was the place locals head to for some recreation and could easily see why.
When staying in Durham I highly recommend a wander to Wharton Park. Views beyond views? Yes. Escapism? Yes. Interest for the whole family? Yes 🙂 | <urn:uuid:4770833f-c67f-49e1-8d47-9cf88db27b04> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.baldhiker.com/durham-wharton-park-to-city-views/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.979833 | 663 | 2.046875 | 2 |
London: The head of the UN weather agency says he hopes a heat wave sweeping Europe and setting record-high temperatures in Britain serves as a “wake-up call” for governments and voters to do more on climate change. World Meteorological Organisation Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said Tuesday a “negative trend” of increasing heat waves is expected to continue for decades – at least until the 2060s – independent of our success in climate mitigation efforts.
He said the world has been “doping the atmosphere” by injecting more and more greenhouse gases into the air. UN officials said the same people most vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic were likely to be particularly affected: the elderly, the sick, and people with compromised respiratory systems.
Britain shatters its record for highest temperature ever
Britain shattered its record for the highest temperature ever registered Tuesday amid a heat wave that has seized swaths of Europe, and the national weather forecaster predicted it would get hotter still in a country ill-prepared for such extremes.
The typically temperate nation was just the latest to be walloped by unusually hot, dry weather that has gripped the continent since last week, triggering wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans and leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths. Images of flames racing toward a French beach and Britons sweltering – even at the seaside – have driven home concerns about climate change.
The UK Met Office registered a provisional reading of 40.3C in Coningsby, central England. Before Tuesday, the highest temperature recorded in Britain was 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019.
The nation watched the mercury rise with a combination of horror and fascination. With several hours of intense sunlight ahead, the record could go even higher.
The sweltering weather has disrupted travel, health care and schools in a country not prepared for such extremes.
Many public buildings, including hospitals, don’t even have air conditioning, a reflection of how unusual such extreme heat is in the country better known for rain and mild temperatures. | <urn:uuid:05b89c4e-a9e4-45a0-a8c1-35ca55410f99> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://newstime.in/as-heat-wave-sweeps-europe-sets-record-high-temperatures-in-britain-un-warns-it-should-be-a-wake-up-call-world-news/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.950197 | 427 | 3 | 3 |
‘Going green’ is a phrase that defines the past decade, as we become increasingly aware of the need to minimise our impact on the environment. The over-use of packaging materials has really taken the spotlight recently, especially with the success of the UK’s recent 5p carrier bag charge which reduced plastic bag usage by 85 per cent in its first six months. It’s clear that packaging is being overused and can be easily eliminated, and brands that position themselves as environmentally friendly can benefit from improved public perception.
Given that consumers are becoming increasingly aware of sustainability issues, what can your business do to build a brand identity as an ethical and responsible trader? How can you build your ‘green cred’ to boost sales without driving up production costs?
It’s not enough just to be sustainable; you have to show it
Consumers are, as a whole, conscious of the need to care for the environment, and most will take sustainability into account when choosing a product. However, brands need to effectively communicate their sustainability to consumers, and the packaging in which their products are provided is the strongest message they can send – how the item is presented gives customers a tangible experience to associate with you, shaping your brand identity.
A recent Guardian study shows that 70 per cent of consumers are likely to be influenced by packaging which demonstrates a concern for the environment, but that most consumers are unmoved by corporate statements – even when backed up with governmental approval. This mistrust stems from the long-established practise of ‘greenwashing’ to mask unsustainable business practices, which has been given fresh fuel by Volkswagen’s ‘Dieselgate’ scandal.
Since even official tests were duped by VW, this undermines the reliability of any assertion of sustainability. Therefore, brands can’t just say that they’re environmentally responsible – they need to show it, and the most powerful medium for doing so is their product packaging. So how do brands go about demonstrating their green credentials to a sceptical consumer base?
How do brands make their packaging sustainable?
Big brands take sustainability very seriously these days. Take Dell, for example; it’s partnered with Ecovative, a packaging company which has developed a Styrofoam alternative that can be grown from mushroom roots and wheat husks – simply mix them together in a mold and a few days later you’re holding a perfectly-formed piece of packaging material that can be composted in your own garden.
This sends a powerful message to consumers who are used to unpacking bales of toxic plastic from their products; rather than contributing to landfill, they’re able to simply crumble it up and spread it on their flowerbeds. You can even have a go at this yourself; Ecovative offer ‘Grow it Yourself‘ packs which you can use to create your own 100 per cent sustainable packing material.
Another brand that considers how its packaging affects customers is Amazon, who introduced their ‘Frustration Free Packaging’ initiative in 2008. In the first five years, this project eliminated 11,200 tons of packaging, and by streamlining the ways in which their products were packaged, Amazon customers were presented with a much more straightforward unboxing experience that eliminated ‘wrap rage’.
Not only that, but Amazon products also feature in numerous ‘unboxing’ videos, with consumers unpacking Amazon products on camera and describing the experience. This kind of PR is invaluable for brands, as it’s a very powerful way for them to extend their brand identity. This Google Trends graph shows how awareness of ‘Frustration Free Packaging’ has grown in the past five years:
So big brands are incorporating sustainable packaging into their business models, but what about smaller companies? What can you do as a small business owner to boost your green cred, without breaking the bank?
Incorporating sustainable packaging into your e-commerce business
Creating sustainable packaging as an e-commerce business is vital, since packaging is your opportunity to create a memorable customer experience. Converting to sustainable packaging can seem like a tough task, but there are four main areas which you should focus on:
- Use less material: The less you use, the less waste there will be, and minimal packaging sends a clear message that your company only uses what’s necessary. Take a good look at what you’re using; could you use a smaller box, or less wrapping paper? Experiment with different levels of packaging to see what’s really necessary to keep your products protected in transit; you’d be surprised at how easy it can be to find creative packaging solutions that minimise the materials you use.
- Change the materials you use: There are plenty of sustainable alternatives to standard packaging materials. For instance, plastic foam peanuts can be substituted with shredded paper or cardboard, biodegradable starch peanuts or even packing straw, which makes it very easy for consumers to recycle your packaging.
- Avoid mixing materials: Many materials can be recycled, but because they all require different techniques they must be separated first. If it’s difficult to separate the materials, then they won’t be recyclable at all – foil-lined paper bags, for example, or laminated cardboard. Similarly, using a lot of plastic tape and shipping notices can render your packaging unrecyclable; make sure to minimise your tape usage and use PEFC-certified labels so that your packaging can be easily recycled.
- Using “pre-cycled” materials: Incorporating recycled materials into your packaging reduces the amount of materials you’re introducing into circulation. Foam peanuts, for example, are colour-coded to denote their source, and green peanuts consist of at least 70 per cent recycled material (they also break down within 5 years). The extent to which you can use pre-cycled material may be limited, depending on its application; Innocent found that their 100 per cent recycled plastic small drinks bottles compromised the product’s quality, and have had to reduce this proportion to 50 per cent.
Clearly, eCommerce businesses can’t afford to ignore the importance of demonstrating their sustainability when it comes to building a brand identity, and re-imagining their packaging with customer perceptions in mind is vital to establishing an environmentally friendly image. Finding ways to make your business visibly more sustainable is a cost-effective and ethical way of increasing sales, and is a fantastic way to boost your brand identity as well as doing your bit to protect the planet.

Let’s say you have got a document with sensitive information in it, and you need to send a copy to your client or to opposing counsel. What is the best way to do that?
Here are a few options.
Not Good: Email, USB Drive
Unless you use encryption, sending an email is basically the same thing as sending a postcard. While there are efforts underway to change this, email remains pretty wide open. This is true and scary: anyone who wants to (not just the NSA) can read your email.
Sure, most of the time you can send a sensitive document through email and nothing will happen. But you are playing Russian Roulette (almost literally, given the recent theft of 1.2 billion email account credentials by a Russian gang). You may be sending documents straight to a criminal without even knowing it.
USB drives aren’t safe, either. A recently-discovered USB exploit means you could be distributing malicious code with your USB drive (or getting it from your clients) without ever knowing. While we don’t know if this exploit is being used, it is probably better to be safe than sorry, especially since better options exist.
Sometimes Okay: Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, Etc.
There are plenty of cloud-based file-sharing services out there, but I am just going to use the most popular — Dropbox — as a proxy for all of them. While I no longer think it makes sense to simply store all your files in Dropbox, I do think Dropbox can be useful for sharing specific files.
You can share files either by sharing with another Dropbox user or by creating a public link to the file. Sharing directly to another user is by far the better option. While public links are not advertised, anyone with the link can access the file(s). Plus, you have to send that link to your client somehow (it is too long and complex to relate by phone), which makes it no better than sending an attachment to an unencrypted email. It is not a good idea to use a public link to share sensitive information.
If you do use Dropbox to share files with clients, don’t leave public links active indefinitely. Have your client tell you when they have the file, and then remove the public link. In fact, it may be best to remove the file from Dropbox entirely, if you share my thoughts on keeping client files in Dropbox.
Better Options: Encrypted Email, CD/DVD, or a Secure Portal
The best options for sharing files do not require you to grant access to the file in an email.
For now, encrypted email remains clunky, and requires some tech-savvy on both ends. Fortunately, you don’t need to go full encryption to send files more securely. You can just encrypt the attachment.
If you opt for encrypting the attachment, use a good password and just call up the recipient to give them the password over the phone. (Don’t leave it on voicemail, though; lots of people get their voicemail by email.)
You can also just burn the file to a CD or DVD and mail it. This is often the best option for large collections of documents, but it is slow if you are trying to share something like a redlined contract. Still, plain old discs are as secure as the mail.
A Secure Portal
Most cloud-based practice management software now includes file sharing, so that you can share files with a contact. When you share a file, the software sends a notice to the recipient. In order to access the file, though, they have to log in, so it is much more secure than a public link from Dropbox or Viivo. Two-factor authentication, where available, ratchets up the security even further.
A portal also allows your client to access the files over time. Despite advances in search technology, people lose emails all the time. If they just have to log into a portal (assuming they can remember their login details), they can access the files you have shared at any time.
The weak link is the inconvenience of having yet another login. If you are just going to share one or two files with someone, an encrypted attachments is probably easiest. If you are going to share a huge set of files, a CD or DVD is probably easiest. If you are going to share lots of files with someone, one at a time, a secure portal is the best option by far.
Worst: an Email Disclaimer
Second, disclaimers do nothing to secure your email, even though an alarming percentage of lawyers who responded to a LexisNexis survey apparently think they do.

As an advocate of cutting federal spending, people sometimes ask me exactly what I would cut to save money and lower the deficit. I have two standard answers to this question:
Often I will respond, it is up to Congress to figure this out. The important thing is to shrink the deficit one way or another. It doesn’t matter from a fiscal point of view exactly what is cut.
Another answer I like to give is that with the sequester already slowing down discretionary spending, we should concentrate on finding savings in entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
While both of these answers have validity in a general sense, nevertheless I do look for ways to cut back on discretionary spending as well. Here is a good idea from Reason magazine’s Veronique de Rugy, “Let States Build Their Own Highways.” The rationale is very simple. The federal gasoline tax of 18.4 cents/gallon brings in about $40 billion per year which goes into the Highway Trust Fund. But the HTF is spending $53 billion per year, meaning that federal gas tax revenue is being supplemented by $13 billion from general revenues. This additional $13 billion per year can be viewed as an unjustified federal expense merely adding to the deficit. The way to address this issue is to:
Abolish the federal gasoline tax of 18.4 cents/gallon as of some specific date in the future, say in a year from the time such a law is enacted.
Turn over all responsibility for highway construction to the states.
States can then decide individually how much of the federal gasoline tax they wish to continue as a state gasoline tax in order to finance their own highway funding.
Minimal federal guidelines could be maintained if desired to insure uniform quality control by the states.
Of course, a $13 billion annual budget savings could be looked at as a drop in the bucket, not nearly large enough to make a sizable dent in the federal deficit (latest projection for fiscal year 2015: $426 billion). That would be too cynical. There are undoubtedly many other smart ways to cut back federal spending. I am constantly looking for them!
The federal Highway Trust Fund is almost out of money. It takes in $35 billion per year from the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax, which has not been raised since 1993. Sometime this summer the government will have to cut back on payments to state highway departments unless Congress acts. As the above chart from the Economist shows, the U.S. spends much less of GDP on roads than many other developed nations. Something clearly needs to be done because we need many improvements in infrastructure. But there are better ways and poorer ways to solve this problem. Here are two good ways as described by Thomas Donlan in a recent issue of Barron’s:
A bill to raise the gas tax by 12 cents per gallon over two years has been introduced in the Senate by Bob Corker (R, Tenn.) and Chris Murphy (D, Conn.). Each penny added to the federal gas tax rate will raise $1.3 billion and this would solve the problem.
Repeal the federal gas tax and turn federal highway construction entirely over to the states. Each state could then increase its own gas tax and/or pay for construction with tolls on bridges and roads.
Here are two examples of poor ways to replenish the Highway Trust Fund:
Continue adding to the Fund with borrowed money. $54 billion has been borrowed since 2008 for this purpose. Presumably the Sequester will make it much harder to continue such deficit financing.
Rep John Delaney (D, Mary.) has proposed a tax break for repatriated foreign profits by multinational American companies if part of the money brought back was spent on infrastructure bonds. This would interfere with the urgent need to reform corporate taxes with significantly lower rates offset by lowering deductions, in order to make our corporate tax internationally competitive.
Conclusion: There is a good chance that the Budget Sequester established by Congress in 2011 to control discretionary spending, as well as the widely recognized urgent need for corporate tax reform, will lead to a “good” rather than “bad” solution to the shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund. This is just one specific example of the challenge to sensible budgeting by Congress.
A much broader approach is needed to really shrink the deficit.

The Katherine John Murphy Foundation was established in 1954 in Atlanta, Georgia by Katherine Murphy Riley.
Katherine’s grandfather, Timothy Murphy emigrated from Ireland in 1846. Mr. Murphy was an early Atlanta pioneer and, as a volunteer fireman, served the community especially during the Civil War.
Katherine’s father, John Edgar Murphy, was a successful banker, broker and community leader in the early 1900s. His wife, Julia Gatins, was active in the cultural development of the city. Julia’s brother, Joseph Gatins, was another prominent Atlanta pioneer and owner of the Georgian Terrace Hotel.
Katherine and her sister Julia Whitehead were raised in the comfortable luxury of the 1920s between Atlanta, Palm Beach, New York and Paris. However, this Irish Catholic family never forgot their origins and they were taught from an early age that it was their responsibility to give back to the community. As a result, Katherine was instrumental in funding many of Atlanta’s cultural, human services, and Catholic organizations from 1945 until her death in 1985.
Since 1985, grants in excess of $44 million have been made in accordance with the wishes of the Murphy family.
An Advisory Committee of the Foundation considers all grant applications. | <urn:uuid:a313ab65-b7dd-41c6-8953-1f0acd6e4e8f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://murphyfoundation.org/about/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.980382 | 256 | 1.703125 | 2 |
As many jokes as you see on TV and in movies about seniors and memory loss, there’s nothing funny about it when it starts to happen to you. Seeing your memory decline can take a bite out of anyone’s self-confidence. We have good news, though: you don’t have to sit by and watch it happen. Our experts at Corso Atlanta have steps you can take to keep your brain sharp at any age, and they’re all attainable.
- Learn New Skills
Life is full of great adventures, and few are greater than learning a new skill. Set a goal to learn a new skill every month or so. You don’t have to become a master. It could be something simple like learning a few phrases in a new language or learning how to cook a new dish. Chances are that there are plenty of people in your life who have skills they can teach you, and you can find YouTube videos on just about any topic. Regardless of the skill you choose, the act of learning will exercise your brain and help you stay sharp.
- Pick Up Some Puzzles
Who ever knew that looking out for your health could be so much fun? Puzzles like crossword puzzles, word searches, logic puzzles, and sudoku will work your brain while you’re relaxing. If you’re more of a jigsaw puzzle fan, this can help to combat memory loss as well.
- Fill Up Your Social Calendar
If puzzles are a bit too solitary for your tastes, here’s good news: social interaction can have a healthy effect on your brain as well. The conversation stimulates your brain while also helping you physically active. However, not all social interactions are the same. It’s important to surround yourself with staying positive people and people you can have an engaging conversation with. Your state of mind has an impact on your mental and physical health, so make sure you spend your social time with people who make you happy. Many senior living communities have plenty of arranged social gatherings for you to enjoy.
- Remain a Lifelong Student
Even young people tend to notice a difference in their mental skills between when they’re in school and after they graduate. Taking classes on a regular basis keeps your brain active, and it can decline in a hurry if you stop learning. There are plenty of ways to learn like a student without a high tuition bill. Senior centers and other municipal facilities often have free or inexpensive classes for local residents. If you have a college nearby, many will let you audit a class for little or no cost. This means that you will be able to attend all the classes and do the assignments if you wish, but you won’t receive college credit.
- Play Memory-Based Games
On top of puzzle games, another direct and fun way to help your memory is to play games that rely on your memory. For instance, a classic that comes to mind is the card game in which you lay out a grid of cards upside-down. You peak at cards two at a time and try to remember where they are so you can find the matching pairs. There are also plenty of online games and apps you can find. You can even make up your own games if you prefer. For example, challenge yourself to remember as many headlines from the local paper as you can each day. Keep score and try to improve little by little.
So many people accept mental decline as an inevitable part of aging. While it is natural and common, there are plenty of ways that you can keep it to a minimum, and some of them are even fun! The tips above from our experts can help you stay sharp and continue to live your life to the fullest.

Many people are turning to life without a bank. Some find the large corporations to be unscrupulous; others are trying to make their life simpler. Regardless of their reasoning, life does tend to be more expensive without a bank. Using a check cashing service can be a financial drain. And life can be more dangerous; carrying around large sums of cash is not something very many people want to do. As a low-cost alternative, the Treasury Department is allowing government benefits to be loaded onto a pre-paid Direct Express Debit Mastercard.
Millions of people receive government benefits every month. They are seniors collecting social security, and they are disabled persons receiving SSI benefits. While many of them have signed up for direct deposit to their bank account, many more still receive a paper check each month. For those receiving a check who do not have a bank account, this card is designed to make their life cheaper and easier.
Much like other prepaid cards, this card is loaded each month and is widely accepted. It claims to be safer than checks, which are subject to fraud, and faster than checks as they are subject to the mail delivery system. Getting money off the card is as easy as getting cash back, or using an ATM. For every deposit onto the card, the cardholder can perform one free withdrawal from any ATM (the owner of the ATM may still impose a fee).
Just like all other prepaid cards, this one too has its pitfalls. While many of the features are free, there are still those that cost money. Such as having a paper statement mailed to you ($.75 per month). Or ATM withdrawals over your free allowance ($.90 per withdrawal, plus ATM owner fees). If you lose your card you get one free replacement after that ($4 per card). Foreign transaction fees apply to this card (3% of each transaction). If you still have a bank account and want to transfer money into it that will be ($1.50 per transaction). So the fees aren’t outrageous, but they can still add up, especially for those who are used to getting these services through their bank (often for free).
Living life without a bank has always been something that has baffled me. Now that prepaid debit cards are gaining popularity, it still baffles me. Essentially the person is getting their money loaded to a free prepaid debit card, instead of deposited to a free checking account (which comes with a debit card). They forego conveniences like walking into the bank and talking to a teller, free ATM withdrawals from the bank’s ATM, checks available when needed (such as paying the rent), and various other services. In short, I do not see a reason to not have a bank account. But the consumer wants the prepaid debit card option, so the government is capitalizing on the idea.
If you are getting government benefits, and you are living without a bank, this card does appear to be one of the better deals out there. You can get cash back with a purchase, so you can get money off the card without a fee. There is no card sign-up fee, no loading fees, and no monthly fees. If you truly wanted to, you could operate the card completely free of charge.
What do you think? Would you opt to take your government benefits on a prepaid card? | <urn:uuid:996c72b6-3c77-4024-9846-21476d6a9c92> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://betterfinancepath.com/managing-your-government-benefits-without-a-bank-account/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967325 | 679 | 2.09375 | 2 |

The Louis Agassiz School Project is a partnership between Freedom Church and Louis Agassiz School, a Pre K – 8th Grade Cleveland Public School. This program is a multi-faceted program that involves after school clubs, lunch mentoring, and other community and school related events held through-out the year.
After School Clubs
After school clubs take place on Tuesday’s (only on days school is in session) from 4-5:15pm. This program is for all students from grades k-8. Groups are divided k-5 and 6-8 and have their own respective activities. Both groups feature snacks, games, fun, friends, relevant and bible bases lessons, and social time with others. Clubs are free and open to all students. A permission slip is required to participate as well as a dismissal approval.
Lunch Buddy Programs
Lunch Buddy Programs take place during student lunches on Wednesday and Fridays. This program is open to all students ages k-8 and requires its own permission slip for a student to participate in the program. During this time student can come and spend time with mentors, they can ask for tutoring, talk about issues, enjoy activities, or simply spend time in groups. This program is mentorship based and free structures. It does not have a solid structure but is tailored to the individual needs of given students on any given day.
If you would like to volunteer to participate in After School Clubs or the Lunch Buddy Program please contact the church office and they can assist you with pursuing the application process.
Join us every Wednesday night at 7pm. This is for students grades 7-12. Come hang out with us each week for fun, games, lasting friendships and life altering messages.
Every Sunday morning kids ages 0-11 can experience Christ in their own fun and exciting way. During discipleship hour and main worship, we have classes for every age group. Our volunteers and teachers love kids and love Christ. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while our kids learn the fundamentals of loving, worshiping, and learning about the bible. The goal of our kids ministry is to make sure kids are connected to new friends, enjoy coming to church, and know how to have a personal relationship with Jesus. We do this through constantly working to improve our spaces, the training of our teachers and by using top notch curriculum from Orange Curriculum. So if you have little one kids church is just for them!
From Our Fathers Table
Ron and Brenda Robertson From Our Fathers Table Directors
Every year the food pantry ministry, based out of Freedom Church, reaches and feeds thousands of people. Last year, in cooperation with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, over 800,000 pounds of food were distributed within our appointed three zip code area. Each year the food bank receives extremely high marks during inspection time and has a long history of integrity and excellence in providing for our community.
Distribution takes place every third Saturday of the month in the Pantry building on the Freedom Church Campus. Volunteers are always needed and welcome. If you are in need of food and would like to receive distribution on distribution day, please plan to arrive between 9:00am and no later than 12:00pm. Distribution is first come first serve. Upon arrival you will receive a ticket that will show your place in line. Average wait times are between 30-90 minutes. There is always plenty of food for everyone but we are only able to service our approved three zip code customers. Zip code verification is required at the time of registration. A utility bill or driver’s license will suffice to verify you zip code.
If you are in desperate need of food assistance there are a limited number of emergency distribution appointments each week. Emergency appointments can be made by calling the church office and following the prompts for the “From Our Fathers Table” emergency line.
We are always in need of volunteers for distribution. If you would like to help and participate in distribution, please plan to arrive by 8:30am on the day of distribution to receive your instructions. Verification can be provided to prove community service hours.
At Freedom Church we believe that being the hands and feet of Jesus means going beyond the four walls. Every month a dedicated team of people meets to participate in the distribution of food, coats, clothes, and other needed items for the homeless population of Cleveland. Every 4th Friday of the month the team gathers at the church to pack bagged lunch’s. On the 4th Saturday of the month they then head out to distribute these lunch’s and other items, as well as minister, to people in need across the city. If you would like to participate in packing of distribution you can contact the church office and they can get you in contact with the directors of this awesome ministry!
North of 50
North of 50 is the senior adult ministry of the Freedom Church of God. Each month the group meets for a monthly lunch in the church and enjoys a great time of food, fun and fellowship. The group also has many other activities that takes place throughout the year. Information about monthly meetings can be found on the church calendar.
Nursing Home Ministry
Every week a team from Freedom Church goes to the local nursing home and provides a church service for their residents. This team is dedicated to doing this during our normal service time. Ministry includes worship, a message and prayer. The residents are extremely grateful for this ministry. If you would like to volunteer to help in this ministry contact the office and we would be happy to put you in contact with the ministry leaders!
At Freedom Church we believe that taking care of orphans and widows is pure religion. We love to care for and love on our widows. Many times throughout the year this amazing group of ladies gets together to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. Many of them have long lasting friendships and meet weekly in their own homes and out to lunch. There is even a dedicated group of people with in this group that always makes a point to visit shuts ins and the sick. If you are a widow and would like more information about the group, please connect with the church office and we can put you into contact with the directors. | <urn:uuid:28c051d1-c52f-4758-b6f7-93f592100d04> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://freedomchurchcleveland.org/get-involved/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.964509 | 1,306 | 1.578125 | 2 |
WHERE THE “MISSING HEAT” HAS GONE
The years since the turn of the 21st century have seen a temporary lull, or pause, in the rise of global atmospheric temperatures. Yet the causes of rising temperatures — especially the burning of fossil fuels that increases the atmosphere’s CO2 burden — are still with us. So where has the excess heat been going for the last decade or so, if not into the atmosphere? This question has generated a flurry of inquiry by climate scientists. The results of their recent research, added to an already vast store of data about global warming, point to the ocean’s depths as the repository of the missing heat.
A graph of the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index clearly demonstrates the warming trend that has characterized the climate since the beginning of the 20th century — the ten warmest years of the 132-year record having occurred since 1998.
Following the 5-year running mean on the graph, we see that steep rises are offset at intervals by pauses, some brief and others more extended. In particular, we see a pause beginning around the turn of the 21st century and continuing into the present. Given the overall upward trajectory seen on the graph, we might reasonably expect that this current pause will end as they all have, and the rise in temperature will resume apace. In fact, climate scientists have been predicting this for the longer term. A statement issued in March of 2011 by Britain’s Meteorological Office reads,
“… even if greenhouse gas emissions are substantially reduced, the long lifespan of CO2 in the atmosphere means that we cannot avoid further climate change due to CO2 already in the atmosphere. […] Despite the uncertainties, all models show that the Earth will warm in the next century, with a consistent geographical pattern.”
This statement clearly affirms what is currently understood about future global warming.
A lull in the overall rise in atmospheric temperature may be newsworthy, and it has drawn a number of news outlets to seize upon it as if it were a new trend. The message in a recent Fox video broadcast is that climate change has stalled. That would certainly be good news for our planet, if it were true. But this message relies on a selective reading of the data, “global temperatures have remained flat over the last ten years” being the only reference to climate history in the broadcast. Such an interpretation singles out 10 years showing a short-term pause, while it ignores over 130 years of data showing the long-term rise in global temperatures.
Selecting only a portion of the data that conflicts with the data as a whole is cherry-picking, a tactic commonly used to misinform the public. As is typical of cherry-picking, the picture is incomplete and leads to a false conclusion. The whole of the data gives the complete picture: that atmospheric temperatures have been rising, despite pauses, for well over a century.
Over the decade or so of the current lull in temperature rise, climate scientists have continued to monitor Earth’s climate systems in an effort to discern how these pauses in a long trend of atmospheric warming occur. What they have come to understand is that the ocean’s depths have been absorbing the preponderance of the missing heat; in fact, the temperature rise in the deep ocean – below 700 meters – has even been accelerating since the turn of the 21st century. This acceleration in the rise of deep ocean temperatures contrasts with a deceleration in the rise of the ocean’s surface temperature, and the corresponding pause in the rise of atmospheric temperatures.
Source: Balmaseda et al., (2013)
During this pause, Earth’s overall climate is simply undergoing a redistribution of heat between the two systems, atmosphere and ocean. The ocean, by absorbing over 93% of the excess heat, strives to “catch up” to the previously faster-warming atmosphere. Warmed by the atmosphere, surface water is drawn down to the depths where it mixes with the colder water, gradually warming the depths. This dynamic overturning of waters also brings colder water up to the surface, where the temperature rise has seen a deceleration. Thus, the current pause in the rise of atmospheric temperatures does not mean that global warming has stalled, but rather that its locus is the depths of the ocean.
Retrospectively tested computer models show that for the rest of the 21st century, as atmospheric temperatures continue their rise, there will be other temporary pauses, or periods when temperatures level off, like the one we are experiencing now. Commenting on a study of such computer models conducted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, climate researcher Kevin Trenberth speaks to this future: “This study suggests the missing energy has indeed been buried in the ocean. The heat has not disappeared, and so it cannot be ignored. It must have consequences.”
Reinforced by mounting scientific evidence, Trenberth’s warning tells us this current pause must not be construed as a reason to relax vigilance. We must continue to advocate for policies that discourage fossil fuel consumption and encourage the development of other sources of energy. Pauses in the inexorable rise in global temperatures are just that: only pauses – and they are part of the overall picture of continuing global climate change. | <urn:uuid:c20b7200-f6e9-42e7-a3ec-f1ad25c00f60> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sandiego350.org/2013/05/08/global-warming-stalled/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.937432 | 1,087 | 3.640625 | 4 |

Invoice as payee
Some consultants have custom contracts with insurers in order to get paid more if a particular service is performed by them. The invoice may be raised by the clinic, but the insurer needs to know (via Healthcode) that it's being billed on behalf of the specialist, so that they get the better price. If a consultant has one of these custom contracts, then 'invoice as payee' should be ticked on their record.
This setting will appear on clinician records once the Healthcode section has been made visible:
Some insurers demand that the site is entered as the payee provider, in which case the site needs to appear on the invoice as the payee. If this is the case, then 'invoice as payee' should be ticked for that site.
This setting can be found under the site settings (under Common Catalogues):
Claim as hospital
Invoices submitted to Healthcode have a 'claim source', which can be either 'Consultant', 'Hospital' or 'Screening Centre'. The default claim source is 'Consultant', but some insurers (specifically Prudential) require billing companies to claim as 'Hospital' for electronic invoicing.
If the creditor needs to claim as a hospital in order to satisfy a particular insurer, then 'claim as hospital' should be ticked. This setting is for internal companies only, not insurance companies - a company should never have both an insurer code and 'Claim as hospital' ticked.
This setting will appear on company records once the Healthcode section has been made visible:
You will find out from the insurance company if you need to use a particular 'setting' to make the invoice valid.
This can be found under the Outstanding Debt work item settings:
The setting can also be overridden per session: | <urn:uuid:6b4194bb-ddba-4afa-a36f-1198e481746c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://helpdesk.meddbase.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007566233-Healthcode-settings | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954491 | 399 | 1.578125 | 2 |
ETHER/OR: AN ETHERNET MOVIE uses Ethernet frames as if they were frames of celluloid film. That is, holders of single, self-contained images that when transmitted at the right speed create a moving image.
A pre-prepared set of Ethernet frames will be transmitted on to a physical network loop, to be forwarded endlessly. The frames will be transmitted at a rate as close as possible to 24 frames per second (or 291.456 kbps), the same speed at which 35mm film is recorded and played.
The continuously looping stream will be displayed to a monitor, featuring the ‘raw’ tcpdump-esque view of each frame's contents, and a decoded view that displays the single image carried in each frame.
ETHER/OR’s structural approach to network infrastructure aims to extend the use of networks beyond their utilitarian function, and by exposing both the frame’s contents and structural format, drawing attention to the oft-unnoticed presence of protocol.

Projects per year
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is relatively a novel concept in the parlance of Computational Offloading. MEC signifies the offloading of intensive computational tasks to the cloud which is generally positioned at the edge of a mobile network. Being in an embryonic stage of development, not much research has yet been done in this field despite its potential promises. However, with time the advantages are gaining growing attention and MEC is gradually taking over some of the resource-intensive functionalities of a traditional centralized cloud-based system. Another new idea called Task Caching is emerging rapidly with the offloading policy. This joint optimization idea of task offloading and caching is relatively a very new concept. It has been in use for reducing energy consumption and delay time for mobile edge computing. Due to the encouraging offshoots from some of the current research on the joint optimization problem, this research initiative aims to take the progress forward. The work improves upon the “prioritization of the tasks” by adopting a very practical approach discussed forward, and proposes a different way for task offloading and caching to the edge of the cloud, thereby bringing a significant enhancement to the QoS of MEC. We propose a novel priority-based offloading and caching model considering the joint optimization of offloading and caching along with the local computing policy. The simulation results show that our proposed model is able to reduce more delay time and energy cost of MEC than any other model proposed earlier.
FingerprintDive into the research topics of 'Priority-based offloading and caching in mobile edge cloud'. Together they form a unique fingerprint.

The ShockLine MS46131A PC-controlled 1-port vector network analyzers (VNAs) is a modular concept for passive device test applications that cover with three different models frequencies from 1 MHz to 8 / 20 / 43.5 GHz. Within this presentation we’ll first introduce briefly in the Anritsu’s patented nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) technology VNA-on-chip technology followed by an overview of existing features and potential microwave applications in engineering, manufacturing, and education.
Due to the modular USB concept of the MS46131A and the new option 12, it is now possible to operate a set of 1-port VNAs as a fully vector corrected VNA architecture. This set, called ShockLine™ ME7868A system, is the first distributed, fully reversing 2-port VNA solution that provides guaranteed performance from 1 MHz to 43.5 GHz by utilizing Anritsu’s Extended-K™ components. Powered by the revolutionary PhaseLync™ technology, it enables engineers to synchronize two portable ShockLine MS46131A VNAs and connect them directly to a DUT to conduct vector transmission measurements over distances of 100 meters or more. Within this presentation we will introduce this new concept and discuss typical for coherent multiport operations that allows the spatial deployment of the measurement points.

Surely you have had nasty car repair experiences in the past. You may have had good ones at well, but no one likes shelling out tons of money and wondering what is really going on. Instead, you want the knowledge necessary to make well-informed decisions next time you are dealing with car repairs.
Do not take your car to the first mechanic you find. You need to do some research to find a reliable mechanic with fair prices. Ask your friends and family about the mechanics they have been to in the past and check the Internet to find reviews written by other customers.
Read your owner’s manual thoroughly if you want to save money on auto repair. In this manual, you can find a lot of tips and tricks that can get your car back into gear and save you a trip to the mechanic. Fixing issues on your own can help you in both a practical and monetary sense.
Don’t pay money for air. Familiarize yourself with the correct air pressure of your car tires and invest in an air compressor. Check your tires on a regular basis and keep them properly inflated on your own. Being able to do this yourself on a regular basis will save you money in terms of wear and tear and regular maintenance.
If you are having work done on your car, make sure you get a written estimate beforehand. The estimate should include what is being repaired, the parts that will be needed and the anticipated cost for labor. It should also say that they will call for your approval before doing any additional work which exceeds the amount or time specified.
Be wary of mechanics that try and make unnecessary repairs to your car. A trustworthy mechanic should inform you about parts that are becoming worn and will need replacement in the near future, but no parts should be replaced without first getting your approval. Never take your vehicle to a mechanic that preforms unnecessary repairs.
If your car needs body work, make sure you know what color paint you have on your vehicle. This information is important for the technician that works on your car. Also, your vehicle identification number is always something good to have on hand. In many cases, you will have to have it just to set up an appointment.
Think about snapping some photos of your entire car prior to bringing it in for repairs somewhere. A lot of shops aren’t going to strip things out of your vehicle, but some will if they are trying to make more money. Therefore, documenting your vehicle can help you identify stolen items in case this were to happen to you.
Unless it is required by your car’s warranty, don’t feel obligated to use the repair shop at the dealership. There are many reputable independent auto repair shops and they are often cheaper. Ask your friends and family members for a recommendation if you are unsure which shops in your area are trustworthy.
Many auto repair shops will tell you that you need your fuel injectors replaced when you do not. This is a way to get some more money from you. The proper time to replace them is after every 35,000 miles of driving. If anyone tells you that it needs to be done sooner, look for someone else to do your auto repairs.
Be sure that the technician you choose is certified. These certifications can make you feel comfortable when you are getting your repair. This will tell you if they are properly trained and will provide you with quality service.
If you take your car to an auto repair shop to get one thing fixed and they tell you that other repairs are needed, thank them for the information and decline the additional services. Go to several other places and get quotes before allowing them to do any more work on your car.
Feel more confident now that you have the proper information to help guide you through your next car repair. You don’t want to get in a web of destruction which comes from making the wrong decisions. Instead, you want to be on top of your game with the information that you’ve been given. | <urn:uuid:33cc0355-c91d-44b0-af1c-60743d9e3653> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.akronautoglasspro.com/auto-repair-tips-to-help-you/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968317 | 811 | 1.796875 | 2 |
The Government of Vietnam has approved the first phase of the Long Thành International Airport in Đồng Nai province.
The project comprises of four module plans, such as essential airport facilities, flight management services, and other related operations.
Airport Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), which runs around 21 airports across the country, has plans to raise funding for the construction of passenger terminals, airport buildings, the aircraft apron, and cargo terminals.
In 2017, the investment $4.6m for the first phase was sanctioned by the National Assembly, along with a resolution to provide compensation and resettlement of affected individuals.
In October, the central government had urged authorities of Đồng Nai Province to handover the lands for the commencement of the airport’s construction early next year.
A deadline for the assessment of vacated land for compensation purposes was also fixed by November end.
To ensure the plan remains on schedule, the Ministry of Transport will work closely with the province to resolve disputes if any.
Construction of the airport will result in the relocation of around 4,800 households and 26 organisations.
Covering a total area of more than 5,580ha, the airport will also cover as many as six communes in Long Thành.
With the construction divided into three stages, the project will cost around $14.47bn.
Under phase one, a 4,000m runway, taxiways, an apron, and a passenger terminal with other auxiliary works comprising a total floor area of 373,000 square metre will be constructed.
The first phase will cater to 1.2 million tonnes of cargo and 25 million passengers each year.
To ensure a capacity of 100 million passengers and 5 million tonnes of cargo a year by 2040, the airport is likely to have four passenger terminals, four runways, and other facilities.
The new airport is also expected to cut down the pressure from the country’s largest airport Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport in HCM City. | <urn:uuid:2a946bc5-0cf2-4913-a137-97216e691d61> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.airport-technology.com/news/vietnam-first-phase-long-thanh-international-airport/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.94803 | 428 | 1.585938 | 2 |
Dip is a revolutionary communal bathing concept that challenges the norms Britain holds on nudity, body image, and sharing bathing spaces. Embracing our bodies, taking care of ourselves and interacting with others all contribute to positive wellbeing.
Discovering the severity of loneliness in Britain and the detrimental effects it can have on people is what inspired Alice Watkinson‘s project. The increasing population and a rise of co-living led to the exploration in an area of our lives that we don’t particularly share. Comparing bathing routines in the UK using primary and secondary research concluded that many people have closed their minds to the idea of ‘sharing bathing spaces.’
Getting clean has become an isolated experience in the UK with the bathroom usually being the smallest room within a home. Designed for the use of one person at a time, the bathroom concept hasn’t really changed since 1910, yet communal bathing remains an important part of life for many other cultures from Japan to Scandinavia.
Falcon Works’ kiln building, a former ceramic factory in Stoke on Trent has been re-visioned to home a contemporary bathing facility. The design of the space is influenced by the heritage building’s original fabric alongside new touchpoints combining brick, concrete and ceramic in a subtle colour palette. The interior showcases the accompanying products including Dip mirror and the ceramic soap dispenser scale model. | <urn:uuid:0a7416f4-f3d8-4bd7-afd3-e982703d80bd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gallery.shu.ac.uk/project/dip/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945045 | 281 | 2.390625 | 2 |

Consistent with the concept of insurance as a means of indemnifying an insured against a loss, is the corollary that insurance should not provide an insured with the means of showing a net profit from the event insured against. One rather rough-hewn method of enforcing that corollary is the doctrine of insurable interest.
The Ethiopian Insurance Law does not sufficiently incorporate the principle of insurable interest. Art 675 of the commercial code, which is applicable to property insurances, is the only provision that deals with the subject. According to this provision any person who has a direct economic interest arising from property rights, such as ownership, usufruct or use right or indirect economic interest, arising out of contracts such as mortgage or pledge may insure such property to protect his interests.
However, the rules governing liability insurance and insurance of persons fail to incorporate rules on the principle of insurable interest which is considered as a mandatory requirement for the validity of contracts of insurance. Hence, we shall try to discuss the principle based on the law and experience of other countries.
Throughout the development of the insurable interest doctrine in case and statutory law, two primary purposes have captured the attention of law-makers, both rooted in public policy. The first is the elimination of insurance as a vehicle for gambling, an activity to which has been attributed idleness, vice, a socially parasitic way of life, increase in impoverishment and crime, and the discouragement of useful business and industry. The second is the removal of the temptation provided by a prospect of a net profit through insurance proceeds to deliberately bring about the event insured against, whether it is the destruction of property or human life.
Insurable interest means some proprietary or pecuniary interest. The object of insurance is to protect the pecuniary interest of the insured in the subject matter of the insurance and not the material property as such. A person is said to have an insurable interest in the subject matter insured where he will derive pecuniary benefit from its existence or will suffer pecuniary loss from its destruction. Insurable interest is thus a financial interest in the preservation of the subject matter of insurance. A purely sentimental interest or a non-monetary benefit will not cause an insurable interest. Accordingly, a creditor has an insurable interest in the life of the debtor but a son has no insurable interest in the life of his mother who is supported by him.
Insurable interest‘ is an essential pre-requisite in effecting a contract of insurance. The insured must possess an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance at the time of contract. Otherwise, the contract of insurance will be a wagering agreement which shall be void and unenforceable.
In the case of marine insurance, it is not essential for the assured to have an insurable interest at the time of effecting the insurance but the assured must have insurable interest at the time of loss of the subject matter insured.
To take the case of fire or marine insurance, it is not only the owner who has an insurable interest but also all those other persons who run a risk, i.e., all those persons who have something at stake or something to lose because of the loss or damage to the property or goods insured. For example, a person who has advanced money on the security of a house has an insurable interest in the house. Similarly, a bailee has an insurable interest in the goods bailed. The charterer of a ship has insurable interest in the ship because he runs a risk of losing his freight if the ship is lost or damaged.
In the case of Life Insurance, insurable interest must be present only at the time of contract (i.e., when the insurance is effected). It need not exist at the time of death or when the claim is made because it is not a contract of indemnity. Thus, a life insurance policy is freely assignable.
In the case of Fire Insurance, insurable interest must be present both at the time when the insurance is concluded and at the time of loss. Being a contract of indemnity, a fire insurance policy can be assigned only to one who has acquired some interest in the subject matter as a purchaser, mortgagee or bailee because unless the assignee has interest at the time of loss, he cannot be indemnified.
In the case of Marine Insurance, insurable interest must be present at the time of the loss of subject matter and it is not essential for the assured to have an insurable interest at the time of conclusion of the contract of insurance. | <urn:uuid:48876b7c-9f63-4759-904d-32c938129293> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://chilot.me/knowledge-base/insurable-interest/?seq_no=2 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.963638 | 964 | 2.53125 | 3 |
What is Diverticulitis?
In This Article
Diverticulitis is a condition that causes small pockets (diverticula) formed by protrusion of mucosa in the wall of your large intestine to become inflamed. This disease has been considered to affect older people but currently, studies have revealed that people who are below 50 years have this condition4.
Symptoms of diverticulitis may vary among people since it depends on severity of the inflammation, the place of the affected diverticulum or small pockets in the walls of your colon. Patients with this condition feel pain in their left lower quadrant section of their colon. They experience changes in their bowel movement. There is also nausea and vomiting which can be accompanied by diarrhea. Patients also complain of constipation and bloating.
Other symptoms of diverticulitis include tenderness in the affected places in the abdomen and this is usually confined to one area. Tenderness also occurs in both the right and left lower quadrant. In case this disease is so severe, it may lead to abscess forming in the affected area. Abscess is the accumulation of pus in a tissue and is usually painful.2
Complications of Diverticulitis
Surgery for this condition can be recommended when the affected colon causes complications in your body. Diverticulitis can cause the following severe complications:6
When an infected pouch or diverticulum in your large intestine ruptures into abdominal opening, abscess can form into this opening and be filled with pus.7
This is a condition where peritoneum becomes inflamed. Peritoneum is a tissue that lines the inside walls of the abdomen and coats most of the organs in the abdomen. It can occur when an infection that started in the colon and spreads to the abdomen.
When peritonitis is not treated early, it can spread into the blood and infect it, a condition known as sepsis. It can also spread to other organs in the body such as heart and cause them to stop working which can lead to death.9
Bowel obstruction happens when either your colon or small intestine is partially or totally blocked. This obstruction prevents fluids, food and gas from moving properly through the intestine. This blockage causes pain that disappears and returns. Diverticulitis can cause large intestine to become narrow hence leading to bowel obstruction.
In case you are experiencing severe bleeding from the abdomen that does not stop even after treatment, surgery may be the suitable option to correct this problem.
Infections in your colon especially from an infected abscess can spread and reach the blood and cause an infection called sepsis.
When Can You Have Diverticulitis Surgery?
You can go for diverticulitis surgery if you have the following3:
- Frequent attacks of diverticulitis. Surgery to remove the diseased part of your colon is only recommended when you have at least three severe recurring cases of diverticulitis.
- When you have a weak immune system, you are at risk of repeated diverticulitis attacks.
- You have an unusual cavity (fistula) between your large intestine and nearby organ especially the uterus and bladder.
In general, studies have shown that patients with diverticulitis only few of them need surgery to treat this condition. Surgical intervention for diverticulitis focuses on removing the affected areas of the large intestine and reconnect remaining parts. A number of surgery methods may be needed to cure the problem but this depends on the severity and nature of symptoms of the condition.
The following surgery methods can be used:
It is a procedure done to remove a damaged or diseased section or all parts of the large intestine or rectum. The main aim of bowel resection is to get out the part of the colon which has problems. The following are type of bowel resection procedures:
- Proctocolectomy– This procedure is done to remove the entire colon that is diseased or damaged.
- Subtotal colectomy- It is used to the whole colon but not the rectum.
- Partial colectomy- It is used to remove the section of the large intestine that is damaged or diseased.
Preparation for Surgery
You will be required to follow the following instructions from your doctor before you undergo surgery:
- Stop taking drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin since they make it harder for your blood to clot properly.
- Stop smoking if you smoke.
- Clean your intestine to remove any bowel before surgery.
- Take water during the day of surgery.2
Bowel resection can be done either by opening your abdomen or through laparoscopy. In both these procedure, you will be put under a general anesthesia to make you comfortable during surgery.
- Laparoscopy is surgical method where your health professional inserts a laparoscope in the lower abdomen via a small cut. The abdomen is puffed up with gas injected through the needle which pushes the abdomen away from the organs to allow the doctor to view it clearly. The health professional examines the organs in the abdomen to see if there are any problems. In case the damaged or diseased section of the colon is identified, your health professional removes it. Since lymph nodes are also there, they will be removed too.
- In open resection, your health professional makes incisions that are large enough in your abdomen. Your health professional views the organs through the incision made to see if there are problems. When a damaged part of the colon is located, it is removed together with the lymph nodes.
In both types of surgery, the following steps are taken by a health professional:
- Your health professional performs a procedure known as anastomosis. This surgical method is done to set up communication between several distant portions of the intestine. This method re-establishes intestinal link after a damaged or diseased part of the intestine was removed.
- In this procedure, your health professional identifies health sections of the colon and stitches them together to repair the damage.
Fig. A completed bowel resection
- Another procedure that can be done is called colostomy9. In this procedure, your health professional cuts an opening through the abdomen skin called stoma. The colon is joined to the exterior part of your abdomen. Stoma will be used to pass stool into the drainage bag outside your body. This procedure can permanent or temporal.
There are several risks associated with both surgery and anesthesia used during surgery. They include:
- You can react to anesthesia.
- You may have trouble breathing
- There is bleeding and infection at the site of surgery.
- You may also experience blood clots.
- Surgery can damage close organs in the body
- Surgery may cause scar tissues to form in your abdomen which can block your intestines.1

Shaping Solutions that Go Beyond the Box
Designers relish the chance to shape highly creative solutions for their clients. Some of my most favorite projects are those where I’ve had the license to really think outside the box. Or on the case of the above project, while using an actual box.
Celebrating Women’s Suffrage
The Archives Partnership Trust planned a special commemorative event, "Beyond the Vote," to celebrate the Centennial of the Women’s Suffrage movement and discuss the issues that women still face today. With ties to Oprah Winfrey, they were hoping to have her moderate the event. But to capture Oprah’s attention, they needed a truly unique proposal to send her. And, what could be more appropriate for an event celebrating a woman’s right to vote than a ballot box?
Using an image of a suffrage ballot box found during my research as reference, I designed a tattered-looking label to affix to the outside of an old ballot box we found at an antique store. The proposal was designed to look like a historic document with a vintage parchment paper background and typography that was representative of old broadsides. We also created a series of “ballots” that contained either a historical accomplishment of the suffrage movement—in which the ballot was checked—or an issue women still struggle with today—for which the ballot remained unchecked to show how far women still have to go in reaching true equality. The proposal and ballots were placed in the ballot box along with a replica of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech and sent to Oprah. Disappointingly, she was unable to attend, but it is an honor knowing I designed something that crossed her desk.
Attention grabbing give-aways
As part of a comprehensive marketing campaign we developed for Parks and Trails New York to promote cycling along the Erie Canalway Trail, we created a unique press kit to accompany the announcement of the website launch. Because our resources were limited we were only able to mail 50 kits, so we wanted to make sure those packages would have maximum impact and really capture the attention of their recipients.
On the outside of the box, we designed a large label with the Cycle the Erie Canal (CTEC) branding elements we had developed for the campaign. Inside the box, we included a water bottle, trail mix, notepad and pen, letter introducing the new website, a brochure, and an ambassador card (a business card handed out by PTNY’s trail ambassadors encouraging visitors to check out the new website). All of the items were branded, so that even if they just sat on a shelf, they would be a reminder of the adventures that were waiting along Trail.
The kits were distributed to a highly targeted list of media outlets. As a result, the CTEC launch was mentioned on high profile sites like abcnews.com, nytimes.com, washingtonpost.com, washingtontimes.com uk.nes.yahoo.com, and more.
Stylishly making a statement
Invitations often offer the most opportunity to think differently, and over the years, my work with Albany Medical Center offered plenty of chances to design some very unique ones.
For “Threads”, a fashion fundraiser to benefit their Food Positive Program, rather than create a traditional folded card, the invitation package was designed to look like a fabric swatchbook. It consisted of a series of different colored floral pages containing the event details, all of which were printed on a linen paper stock to further emphasize the concept. Included in those panels was a perforated response card for respondents to tear out and return. The panels were die cut to look like they had been trimmed with pinking shears, tucked into the fold of a white linen swatch cover, and then stitched with red thread which was left hanging on each end. The creativity of this project was awarded an Albany Ad Club “Nori” Award.
Another invitation for the Medical Center was for an event celebrating the kick off of their Pillars Campaign. The main entrance to the historic hospital building is supported by a series of white columns for which the campaign was named. The invitation was designed to look like a series of five die cut pillar panels, representing the five “Centers of Excellence” that were the focus of the campaign. The materials were printed on Neenah Paper’s Columns paper stock, a white ribbed cover stock that also pairs nicely with the concept. | <urn:uuid:360752f1-80f3-4a36-8552-1336b20133d8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.2kdesign.com/blog/shaping-solutions-go-beyond-box | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.97606 | 927 | 1.617188 | 2 |
Efficient fulfillment strategies are an integral part of success for any ecommerce business. It’s how these brands satisfy customers while maintaining margins big enough to grow the company. Most ecommerce brands achieve peak efficiency through a multi-warehouse shipping strategy.
Multi-warehouse shipping refers to the use of multiple warehouses strategically located across a region—or the globe—to fulfill orders. Companies big and small use this strategy, but it’s especially effective for online direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands. Going a step further, multi-warehouse management refers to the system in which these warehouses are all maintained and managed simultaneously through a common software platform. Multi-warehouse management is not simply using a handful of warehouses instead of one; it also implies that those warehouses operate together, under the same umbrella.
Using a multi-warehouse approach has benefits ranging from cost savings to scalability. The strategy primarily benefits ecommerce businesses through more efficient fulfillment and simpler warehouse management. Further, this strategy can be even more useful when the warehouses are part of a warehouse network, which we’ll define in this article.
To understand the benefits of multi-warehouse shipping, compare the use of one warehouse on the East Coast with the use of three spread across the East Coast, West Coast, and in a central location like Texas or Illinois.
A warehouse’s location is critical because of shipping zones: the factor that determines the bulk of the cost of shipping a package. The zones are determined by the distance traveled from the package’s origin (the warehouse) to its final destination (likely your customer). The further the package must travel, the more expensive it is to ship. So, if you only have a single warehouse on the East Coast, sending packages to California will be expensive. Alternatively, a single, centrally-located warehouse allows an ecommerce company to minimize shipping to regions that fall into the higher (and more expensive) zones.
But with a multi-warehouse strategy, warehouses are strategically placed across the country, and orders are automatically routed to and fulfilled by the warehouse closest to the customer’s address. This saves both shipping time and money.
Multi-warehousing is even more critical for brands that are looking to expand internationally. To send individual orders overseas can be prohibitively expensive for most brands unless they have warehouses in the countries they’ve expanded into. This eliminates the complexity of duties and customs for each order and cuts the cost of shipping to a fraction of what it would be to ship across continents.
Now that we’ve established the core difference between single- and multi-warehouse shipping, we’ll explore the benefits of multi-warehousing for the ecommerce businesses that use this strategy.
The most obvious cost savings associated with mutli-warehouse shipping is the elimination of higher shipping zones, because orders can be fulfilled by the warehouse closest to the customer. But there are other savings associated with this strategy, too.
Warehouse locations also affect the cost of delivering inventory from the manufacturer. Multi-warehousing opens up the possibility of using local freight carriers, which means fewer stops and less mileage from port to destination, reducing costs even further.
Pro-tip: These savings can then be reinvested to grow the business or to offset the cost of offering free shipping to customers.
Offering customers free shipping is one way to demonstrate how valuable they are to the brand. It’s also a good method for increasing customer conversion rate and reducing shopping cart abandonment. Multi-warehouse shipping further contributes to increased customer satisfaction because it allows businesses to deliver orders faster. Remember, when a package is fulfilled by the warehouse closest to the customer, it has a much shorter distance to travel.
Established ecommerce brands don’t just use multiple warehouses to reduce costs—they also need a lot of space to hold inventory. Working with a logistics provider that can execute an effective multi-warehouse strategy is an excellent opportunity for high-growth companies, because when multiple warehouses are at play, it’s easier to make space for a growing number of SKUs—allowing a brand to grow exponentially.
Under multi-warehouse management, it’s easy to expand into even more warehouses as the business grows. Because these warehouses are managed by a common software platform, they operate under similar protocols, with similar reporting methods, and using the same interface and integrations. This tech enablement makes the once long and arduous process of getting set up in a new warehouse manageable in about a week’s time—or even less—allowing rapidly growing companies to expand full-throttle.
This is probably the biggest and most noticeable difference when using multiple warehouses under multi-warehouse management. When the warehouses operate on a unified software platform, business operators can find all relevant fulfillment information in one place. No reconciling conflicting reports, keeping track of disparate warehouse management systems, or manually migrating data from one system to another: each warehouse’s data is available with a single login.
Even better, this data is updated in real time, meaning operators can see the exact state of operations at any given time, whether it’s inventory count, order fulfillment status, or restock deliveries. Businesses can keep a finger on the pulse of their logistics operations even as they’re happening simultaneously across time zones and borders.
Multiple warehouses enable businesses to shift stock from location to location as determined by demand, to avoid overstock in one location and the expense of sending a SKU that may be out of stock at one location from another that is much further away. Under multi-warehouse management, this can be set in motion with the click of a button, because those warehouses are all integrated with the same software.
Fulfillment is often plagued by unpredictable circumstances like the weather or the COVID-19 pandemic. If some warehouses are inundated with a hurricane or forced to shut down operations due to an emergency mandate, having multiple warehouses ensures sales can continue and orders will still be delivered.
Warehouse networks take multi-warehouse management a step further. Under a warehouse network, the warehouses are not owned by the logistics company that is using them, as is the case with a third-party logistics (3PL) provider. Instead, a fourth-party logistics (4PL) provider partners with various warehouses and uses a combination of technology and on-site operations managers to oversee operations on their customers’ behalf.
Airhouse uses a unique warehouse networking model to achieve our multi-warehouse management capabilities. This model affords our customers several advantages.
Without the overhead responsibilities of owning warehouse infrastructure, 4PLs that manage warehouse networks can invest heavily in support and technology. Because they are viewed as a partner—and the largest customer—of each of the warehouses in the network, these 4PLs are usually able to leverage top-notch customer service on behalf of their customers.
What’s more, if one of the warehouses in the network is underperforming, the inventory it holds can be easily moved to another high-performing warehouse. If the under-performer does not improve, it can be dropped from the network. These deep-seated problems are more difficult for the warehouse’s owner—typically a 3PL—to fix.
Without the enormous infrastructure investment warehouses require, 4PLs can invest heavily in the technology that enables multi-warehouse management across a warehouse network. A better user interface allows the ecommerce brands that use it to have a better understanding of their logistics operations and to manage multiple warehouses from a distance without the need for long chains of emails, manual data entry, or folders of spreadsheets. Everything these operators need is readily available through that technology, which is constantly monitored and updated by in-house software engineers.
Many 3PLs and 4PLs will refuse to work with ecommerce brands until they’ve reached a certain size, typically measured through monthly expected orders (MEOs). With the Airhouse network, there are no minimums, meaning businesses get access to top-performing warehouses regardless of their size.
It’s significantly easier to bring a new warehouse into a network than it is to construct one or acquire one. For this reason, warehouse networks offer much more flexibility and agility than 3PLs.
Because the warehouses in a 4PL’s network aren’t owned by the 4PL, the logistics provider has the freedom to be more solution-oriented on the ecommerce brand’s behalf. Instead of seeking a solution that works best within an established warehouse framework, 4PLs can find the best solution for their customer and identify the warehouses that can make it happen.
The 4PL managing a warehouse network can seek out a diverse array of warehouses with unique experience handling specific types of products. That could mean oversized items, cold storage, or anything an ecommerce brand may need to store.

Your baby’s face is almost fully formed at 24 weeks pregnant and they will be working their dinky little facial muscles to raise their eyebrows!
Let’s take a look at all the amazing things happening to your body and baby at 24 weeks pregnant.
How big is my baby?
Your baby at 24 weeks pregnant is now the size of a banana at about 12 inches in length and weighs around one pound. At this stage of your pregnancy, your baby will gain weight at the rate of around 5 ounces each week. The majority of that weight comes from baby fat, muscle growth and organ development.
What’s my baby doing this week?
Your baby’s brain is getting bigger and their body is filling out properly now. As you approach the end of your second trimester, your baby’s brain stem will almost be entirely developed.
The lungs should be maturing and will be producing surfactants, which helps keeps the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) open. Their respiratory sacs, which sit at the top of the tiny branches of your baby’s lungs, will be growing, aiding the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide after your baby joins you in the big wide world.
Your baby will also be practising breathing in your womb this week, exhaling some amniotic fluid. In the very unlikely event that your baby was born at 24 weeks, they could actually survive in a ventilator! Things are really moving at a pace now and you should be extremely excited as your baby prepares itself for that first hug with mum.
Changes in my body at 24 weeks pregnant?
Some of the more common symptoms at 24 weeks pregnant include:
- Piles. You may be suffering from those dreaded piles. If you are, pop to your local pharmacists, or go and see your GP, and ask them to recommend a haemorrhoid cream to help with the pain and itching.
- Movement. It is very common to feel your baby moving from the outside now. Your baby is getting much bigger and other people may also be able to see your baby moving. As you move towards trimester three, you may even be able to recognise a foot or a hand!
- Belly love. You may start to notice that your pregnant belly attracts a lot of attention now. It’s normal for people (especially children) to want to touch your pregnant bump. Don’t feel bad if you would rather people didn’t pay that type of attention to your belly. It’s your body and not everyone likes having their belly touched when they are pregnant.
- Swollen feet. If you are suffering from swollen feet and ankles, make sure you elevate your feet whenever you are sitting down. Walking around can also help. Swelling in your ankles and feet is a normal, and common, pregnancy symptom. Should you start to notice swelling in areas like your hands, one of your legs or your face, contact your GP immedaitely. This type of swelling can often be a sign of preeclampsia, a worrying pregnancy complication.
- Cramping. This is often a sign of dehydration. Try to keep hydrated and make sure you move around as often as you can to stretch those legs!”
- Backache. As your baby grows, so too does your uterus. Your uterus will be the size of a volleyball at week 24 of pregnancy! This growth often places pressure onto your spine and can curve it slightly. When this happens your muscles in the lower back over componsate, which causes your pregancy backache. Alsways speak to your GP if you are struggling to cope with backache pain through your preganancy.
- Red, itchy palms. Sounds weird, right? Actually, it’s not that weird at all through pregnancy because of your raging hormones. Red, ichy palms and feet at week 24 weeks pregnant is caused by something known as palmar erythema. If you are suffering with ichy, red palms or feet make sure you contact your GP.
What you should be doing at 24 weeks pregnant
You need to tell work that you are pregnant and confirm what you want to do about maternity leave.
You should also speak to your midwife about taking a glucose screening test (GCT) which screens you for diabetes. The GTC screening test takes place around 24 weeks pregnant and checks to see if you’re at risk for gestational diabetes.
The test assesses how your body processes sugar. You will be asked to drink a sweet liquid called Glucola and then wait for around one hour.
After the hour is over, they will take some blood and test it to see how well your body processed the sugar. This test is complete to make sure your pregnancy stays healthy. | <urn:uuid:bc684a25-9712-43c6-8676-9cc83c19b288> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tinystepsbabyclub.co.uk/what-to-expect-at-24-weeks-pregnant/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953385 | 1,014 | 2.296875 | 2 |
According into a recent study, one in five online daters has confronted threats and problems. These include THAT security issues, get together someone that they didn’t know, and rejection with a potential meet. Spyware and adware is a important concern, with nearly 12% of guys experiencing an infection from malevolent links. And one in five women of all ages have been governed by uncomfortable discussions with unknown people. However , these amounts should be interpreted which has a grain of salt.
A web based dating study by the National Association of Consumers demonstrates over 50 % of users confess to hiding their appearance. More men than women, over 50 % of whom lied about their financial status and jobs, have experienced scams. This is http://siup.esy.es/tag/harga-mitsubishi-xpander-dan-spesifikasi/ hardly surprising considering the developing number of subjects of internet dating scams, as well as the risk of identity thievery. Online dating figures also show that males are more likely than women to lie about their appearance and financial position, so watch out for the websites that they sign up with.
Despite beautifulasianwomen.org/countries/thailand/phuket-brides/ these concerns, many individuals are likely to risk the safety with the intention of love. Intimate abuse can range from unprotected sex to rape. Research on internet dating can help gov departments and software creators determine what the risks happen to be. One of the biggest concerns, according to NCA, is that online dating sites apps don’t explain enough what precautions they will take to ensure safety. Some online dating apps have a tendency also mention the use of these kinds of services.
A further major issue with online https://www.boontoon.com/blog/wedding-traditions-around-the-world/ dating is that users are more inclined to reveal information that is personal regarding themselves than they would if these people were meeting a total person face-to-face. More than one-third of users reveal embarrassing personal information regarding themselves or share privately owned photos. This kind of information may be used to track you, guess your security password, or blackmail you. Furthermore, risky sharing takes place much quicker than one could expect. In fact , it is now more widespread than ever before.
Women are more likely to statement unwanted photographs and sexually explicit email while guys experience less. Furthermore, LGB people are more likely to experience violent interactions, with one in 4 dating stats reporting a great incident of physical violence. In addition to these statistics, many patients of internet dating are subjects of family violence. As a result, it is important to be aware when coping with online dating. There are numerous ways to look after yourself via these risks. Just remember to pick an appropriate platform and do not let any individual manipulate you.
Using online dating applications is a growing trend, with millions of users logging onto these types of websites and using them to find love. While this is suitable for the economy, it possesses a great few dangers, and generally there will be steps you can take to safeguard your self. Consider these online dating sites statistics before setting up your profile! You might never know who you are dealing with in real world, but it is best to stay safe than sorry. | <urn:uuid:3872a7b3-26f2-4348-9cba-c7598cd91183> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.web-liveband.de/the-dangers-of-online-dating-services-statistics/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954389 | 678 | 1.960938 | 2 |
Rainy season fauna finds
Nature never ceases to surprise us, especially as we come to the end of another great rainy season at Tswalu. After eight years of drought, two consecutive years of well above average rainfall have brought to life a profusion of grasses and creepers, some of which have not been seen in the last decade and a few that have never been identified or recorded before on the reserve.
Several plants have been discovered and added to the Tswalu species list in the past two years, including Coccinia adoensis, belonging to the pumpkin family, and Nemesia floribunda, belonging to the snapdragon family. Barleria lacifolia, a member of the acanthus family, was one of this season’s new discoveries. Since none of these plants have seeds that could realistically have been transported from their usual area of distribution area by wind pollination or in the guts of birds, the best explanation we have so far is that the seeds must have been here all along, lying dormant in the ground, waiting for the right conditions to allow them to germinate.
There has also been a noticeable change in the populations of two plants that share the same common name in English, namely the devil’s thorn. The first one, elandsdoring (Dicerocaryum eriocarpum), well known as a soap substitute, has been prolific this year compared to previous years, taking over and decorating the sides and tops of the dunes with its pretty purple flowers. The duifiedoring (Tribulus pterophorus), on the other hand, has been scarce with fewer areas taken over by its carpet of bright yellow flowers in spring. This year’s noticeably less abundant plague of blister beetles, that typically feed on the yellow flowers of this devil’s thorn species, may have been as a result of this declining population.
Higher than average rainfall also has negative influences on certain species, whether plants, insects or even mammals. Besides fewer blister beetles this year, many insect plagues have been milder than usual.
Several guides and conservationists have noticed some previously unrecorded behaviour of baboons at Tswalu, that have been feasting on the bean-like pods of the small rattle-pod (Crotalaria podocarpa), known for their protein value. Could they be supplementing something that is missing from their diet, as a result of reduced insect numbers? Or perhaps the insect numbers haven’t decreased, but their numbers have been more evenly spread after a season of more consistent rains, both across the property and in terms of frequency.
The presence or absence of water in the southern Kalahari raises many questions, which lead to speculations and hypotheses before answers are reached! It will take several more years, if the above average rainfall cycle continues, to collect more data and observe changes. In time, we hope to draw more concrete conclusions. For now, we remember the past summer as an exciting time of change, learning and discovery.

When it is used thoughtfully, typography becomes a powerful brand tool that can add visual meaning to what we say. Johan Cruyff Institute’s typography communicates clearly and cleanly, with enough flexibility for a wide range of situations.
Typography is a robust vehicle for our brand voice. It contributes to how our messages are read and communicated. For officially printed presentations, the font that is used to convey the brand’s look and feel is Open Sans. It is permitted to create variations by using, for example, different font sizes, bold, italic and capitals.
For Windows and desktop publications, it is also allowed to use the more common typeface Arial if you can't use Open Sans.
Open Sans is a google font. | <urn:uuid:f061430f-be8d-416d-adf0-b3ebfc34c998> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://brandguide.johancruyffinstitute.com/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.914891 | 166 | 1.890625 | 2 |
While the existing answer has merit, I wasn't satisfied, so I did some research of my own.
Something to be noted is that most Ferengi we see in the show aren't speaking English; instead, what we hear is the product of a Universal Translator. This device doesn't always translate foreign words (for instance, Klingons can occasionally be heard speaking Klingon as well as translated English); there is a question on this site about that, but the answers don't seem to come to a consensus. The important thing to note is that there are cases in canon of species speaking their own language and not being translated.
So, the question remains, why doesn't the Universal Translator translate 'human' correctly when coming from a Ferengi? I found a Reddit thread that asked this same question. The most convincing theory presented was that 'hoo-mon' is a Ferengi word, and the translator does not translate it.
There is no direct proof of this, but there is a similar known Ferengi word 'DaiMon', which translates to 'Captain' (Memory Beta also lists a rank of 'GuiMon' as equivalent to an Admiral). Based on its spelling, it seems safe to infer that DaiMon is some sort of a compound word; in the aforementioned Reddit thread, the user BoozeMaster speculates that it could mean
either "Head Merchant" or "Lead Negotiator"or somesuch as the Ferengi don't seem to have military ranks per-se.
Again, based on Ferengi culture, this makes sense. HooMon, then, could be a Ferengi word that means (again, as proposed by BoozeMaster)
"Poor Negotiator" or "Bad Merchant"
If this is true, then when a Ferengi seems to say 'hoo-mon', they aren't trying to say 'human', they're using a Ferengi word that has come to be used synonymously with 'human', and is actually a cleverly veiled insult.
As for why the translator doesn't try to translate 'hoo-mon', I don't see how it could; if it translates the word to 'human' it loses the insult, if it translates the word to 'bad merchant' it loses the clever wordplay. | <urn:uuid:1b898205-7b36-490a-beb7-8deb2c38713d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/63716/why-do-the-ferengi-pronounce-human-the-way-they-do?noredirect=1 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967476 | 488 | 1.804688 | 2 |
How Much Have We Destroyed Our Planet?
The earth is our planet and it has been our home for centuries, it has seen so much stuff happen, it has seen us evolve from the stone ages to the intelligent species that we are today, it is a witness of the process of our evolution, the first time humans created fire, tt has seen us go from living in caves to constructing buildings that touch the clouds, it has seen all the things that we are just now discovering, it has seen the dinosaurs roar and all the empires rise and fall and kingdoms triumph and shatter. This earth has seen wars, the annihilation of countries, and all the people living in it. In short, the earth has seen everything that we have done ever since we stepped foot on its soil and before that as well. But today our planet is crying and begging for help, the people it has housed from the beginning of time are the ones causing this planet to burn, dry out and eventually die. Humans have been using the natural resources of the earth at an astronomical rate, we have been cutting down trees and burning our waste even after knowing that all of those things are killing this planet.
Humans, in the midst of evolving, have burnt, hurt, and suffocated the earth is more ways than one and the sad irony of this whole story is the fact that humans are destroying their own home even after being aware of what they are doing. We are so busy building an empire for ourselves that we are completely oblivious of the fact that we destroying the only place that we have to live. What are we supposed to do with all the money in the world but no earth to spend it on! No place to live no place to house us.
Scientists and environmentalists have clearly given us an estimate of approximately 10 years to change the way we live our lives and if we don’t the earth will no longer be inhabitable for humans. The temperatures will be too high for us to survive and the ozone layer will no longer exist to protect us from the harmful rays of the sun. if we continue to emit pollution at the same rate there is no chance of a future generation living on this planet. We need to make some major lifestyle changes and we need to start implementing them as soon as we can, both from a global standpoint and also as an individual. We need to stop burning through the earth’s natural resources and we need to start using renewable natural sources of generating energy. We need to start investing in greener resources and control the emittance of hazardous gases into the environment.
Most of the metropolis cities of the world are polluted to the point where people have to wear masks and install air purifiers in their buildings. In some of these countries, breathing is equal to smoking 50 cigarettes a day! Breathing should never be an act of poisoning oneself, it is something that our body needs to do to survive. Globally, there has been an increase in temperature, glaciers, and ice caps are melting and disrupting the flow of the oceans causing massive tsunamis. Fracking for oil and minerals is weakening the tectonic plates and causing earthquakes. How are we so blinded that we cannot see this systematic destruction of the only place we have to exist.
We need to urge the people responsible to stop this destruction, we need to act, we cannot stay quiet about this anymore, it is too late for that now, we need to take action collectively and individually. We need to limit our use of energy, we need to conserve water and we need to pledge to the people responsible to turn to renewable energy sources that will not harm the earth.
In the end, this planet is all we have and we have to do everything in our power to save it from ourselves and this isn’t a fight where you would need to pick sides, there is only one side and that is keeping the planet safe and making it a better place for the future generations. | <urn:uuid:bd7c2889-c7fb-4677-a439-9df56788440d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://greensholding.com/2020/09/18/how-much-have-we-destroyed-our-planet/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.964457 | 802 | 2.3125 | 2 |

Cell Phone Sensitivity
The final results of a major international study of the
potential link between cellphone use and cancer were
published last week. The finding: Using a cellphone seems to
protect against two types of brain tumors.
Even the researchers didn't quite believe it.
The apparent shield of cellphone radiation, most likely
fictitious, illustrates how hard it is to analyze, let alone
quantify, the potential for a small elevated risk in a rare
disease from a widespread, mundane activity.
"They found that ever having used a cellphone appeared to be
protective [against] brain cancer," says David O. Carpenter,
director of the University at Albany's Institute for Health
and the Environment, in Albany, N.Y. "And that just simply
makes no sense."
The study was funded in part by the Mobile Manufacturers'
Forum and GSM Association, two wireless industry groups. The
researchers had protections in place they say guarded their
independence. Most criticisms of the study haven't focused
on the funding.
The researchers conducting the study, which was called
Interphone, were flummoxed at nearly every turn. They tried
to find a control group that matched participants who had
suffered a brain tumor, but potential subjects were
reluctant to participate, for various reasons. Then there
were subtle behavioral differences between individuals with
and without brain tumors. Internal squabbling over how to
interpret the results delayed publication for so long that
usage patterns of study participants didn't match those of
mobile users today.
The Interphone researchers acknowledged in their resulting
paper, published online last week by the International
Journal of Epidemiology, that something had probably gone
wrong with the controls.
The study tracked cellphone use across 13 countries. It
looked at a group of adults 30 to 59 years old who had been
diagnosed with glioma or meningioma, types of brain tumors
that can be either benign or malignant, between 2000 and
2004. They were compared with control subjects, people
selected to match the individuals with tumors in terms of
age, gender and place of residence.
Then both groups were interviewed extensively about their
cellphone use. If the two groups matched in other ways, and
the group with brain tumors used cellphones more frequently,
that would suggest that cellphone use might have caused the
But they didn't really match. For one thing, just 53% of
people selected to participate as controls agreed, and a
survey of those who declined showed that they were less
likely to use cellphones than those who participated. That
may have artificially raised cellphone use in the tumor-free
control group and made mobile phones seem less dangerous
than they are.
The result is a strange set of numbers. Many levels of
cellphone use appeared to reduce the chance of developing a
tumor. Only the people who talked on cellphones the most had
a significantly greater chance of developing glioma—40%
greater—than those who didn't use cellphones.
Yet, as some of the study's authors themselves pointed out,
if those who never used cellphones—who were more prevalent
among those with tumors—were excluded, and the lightest
users were contrasted with the more avid ones, then the
bizarre protective effect of cellphone use mostly
disappeared, and the risk among the heaviest users was 82%
Even in this analysis, the risk doesn't steadily increase
with use, which is what epidemiologists typically look for—a
discernible dose-response relationship. "It's certainly less
compelling than if you saw some kind of graded response,"
says David A. Savitz, director of the Disease Prevention and
Public Health Institute at the Mount Sinai School of
Medicine in New York.
Disputes about how to interpret these numbers held up
publication of the research, says Christopher Wild, director
of the World Health Organization's International Agency for
Research on Cancer, in Lyon, which coordinated the study.
The study was published more than six years after its
conclusion, by which time cellphone use had both surged and
"Interphone made more effort than most other studies to
identify and quantify its own flaws," says co-author Martine
Vrijheid, a researcher at the agency. "It has thereby also
attracted more attention to these flaws."
A U.K. study under way will take a different approach,
tracking cellphone users over time to see if heavy use is
tied to a greater incidence of cancer. But the study will
still need to enlist hundreds of thousands of volunteers to
yield useful results, and it could take decades to spot any
divergence in cancer rates.
Epidemiologists say such research may be difficult and
expensive but is important.
"Even if you think it's very, very unlikely that it's a
problem," Dr. Savitz says, "it's always worth some effort to
make sure you haven't done something really terrible" as a
society by enabling widespread cellphone use. Such open
questions, and the difficulty of solving them, he says,
"keep epidemiologists in business for a long time."

Switch Plan is rated 4.0/5 on Trustpilot
Switch Plan is rated 4.0/5 on Trustpilot
We all know that it’s important to switch energy suppliers regularly. This not only ensures that your household saves money on gas and electricity, it also keeps the market competitive and prices low across the board. By switching suppliers every 12-18 months, we can ensure that we’re always getting the best value energy for our money. But have you ever wondered who is responsible for facilitating a seamless switch of suppliers within 17-21 days?
Last update: August 2022
We have a service called ECOES (the Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service) to thank for our ability to switch suppliers so quickly.
In an era that’s driven by data, ECOES is as vital part of ensuring that the energy transfer goes smoothly, and that energy consumers stay in control of their energy supply and costs.
What is ECOES, and why is it important?
When an energy consumer switches suppliers, there’s a lot of data that needs to be transferred between suppliers to ensure a fast and seamless switch. The Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service is a centralised system to which all suppliers and Distribution Network Operators have access. It can also be accessed by third parties such as meter operators and data collectors. It can even be accessed by consumers from overseas.
In short, ECOES is the system responsible for transferring the necessary data between suppliers to ensure a quick and easy switch.
Without ECOES, the business of switching energy suppliers would be a much slower process with much more likelihood of things going awry.
Who manages ECOEs? What are their missions?
ECOES is funded by both electricity suppliers and distributors. It is governed under the Master Registration Agreement (MRA), an agreement between suppliers that maintains a fast and effective apparatus for switching suppliers. It is administered by Gemserv who act as the MRASCo (Master Registration Agreement Service Company). It is designed, built and operated by C and C Group. All of these companies work together to maintain a switching system that benefits the entire industry, keeping it competitive and fuelling innovation by allowing consumers to switch suppliers easily.
You can find out more about the energy switching process by looking at this document from Ofgem.
What is ECOES 2?
ECOES 2 is the new and more efficient version of the ECOES system that is in use right now. It benefits from a simpler, more intuitive interface, and has been updated to better meet the changing needs of the energy industry. You can find out more information on what’s new with ECOES at Gemerv’s website.
What is MPAS?
ECOES contains data for millions of meter points all over the UK. However, these meter points also need to be maintained by a Meter Point Administration Service or MPAS. Every Distribution Network Operator has its own MPAS service. These services can help you to identify your home’s Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) number, which in turn can help you when moving home or changing supplier. It helps to identify your home’s unique supply line.
Switching suppliers regularly is important. Here’s why!
With over 50 active energy suppliers delivering gas and electricity to UK households, energy consumers have more choice than ever. Switching regularly can bring great energy savings to your home, preventing you from lapsing into expensive standard tariffs when your fixed term energy deals elapse. What’s more, when consumers change suppliers regularly, it helps to create a competitive industry where prices are kept low.
But finding the best supplier and tariff for your needs can be frustrating and time consuming.
We can scour the market for the best energy suppliers and tariffs to suit your needs. What’s more, we manage your switch from end-to-end. So you can enjoy cheaper energy faster and hassle-free.
Call us today on 0330 818 6223 to find out more. We’re available from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm.
Would you like to know more about switching energy suppliers? Great!

Why is it important to switch energy suppliers?
Switching energy suppliers regularly prevents you from lapsing onto an expensive standard tariff. However much you’re paying, you can almost certainly save money by switching every 12-18 months. What’s more, switching regularly keeps the energy industry competitive and keeps prices low.
How does ECOES help when switching energy suppliers?
ECOES is a centralised system that contains all the data energy suppliers need when arranging the switch of a customer’s supply. Thanks to ECOES, you can switch energy supply quickly and seamlessly.
How long does it take to change energy suppliers?
It usually takes between 17 and 21 days to switch energy suppliers. In the age of the more advanced ECOES 2, most consumers take closer to 17 days than 21 to switch suppliers.
Why is it important to know my MPAN number?
Your MPAN number helps suppliers to identify your home’s unique supply line, making for a faster transition. It can also help when moving home by identifying who currently supplies energy to the property. Just contact your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and tell them your MPAN number.

Indeed, in Hindu culture and religion the cow is revered as the Goddess mother, a symbol of Ahimsa or nonviolence and of wealth and fortune.
In the Rig Veda (An ancient Indian collection of sacred Sanskrit Hymns,) the cow is identified with Aditi (the mother of Gods.)
Vegetarianism is encouraged.
“There is no sin in eating meat… but abstention brings great rewards.” (The Laws of Manu, V/56)
Cows were also considered appropriate as gifts for high caste Hindus or Brahmans and to kill a cow is equal to killing a Brahman.
“Among the cows, I am the wish giving Kama Dhenu” (Lord Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita: Chap 10 Verse 28)
Many Hindus are against the consumption of beef. Some Indian states have even passed laws which makes the slaughter of cows a serious offence. | <urn:uuid:93c085be-02bd-4b12-92f2-4e16b60aec85> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://simikrao.com/tag/nonviolence/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.939144 | 197 | 2.859375 | 3 |
Title: Seeing through their eyes. Providing a more powerful public service for persons with a visual impairment in Aruba
Authors: Mieke De Droog
Addresses: Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Aruba, J.E. Irausquinplein 4, Oranjestad, Aruba
Abstract: What does a front-line service provider or policy worker know of persons with a visual impairment? How can he/she empathise with clients with such an impairment? The purpose of the current research is to gain insight into how to provide more valuable public service to visually impaired residents of Aruba. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 32 respondents. The focus was on their day-to-day constructions of reality, taking in account both their life stories and the specific context. The data showed that emphatic, attentive interventions, acknowledging the value of experiences of persons with a visual impairment contribute to more powerful public service. Essential factors affecting experiences are the quality of the relations and encounters with front-line service providers and agencies due to helping and non-helping behaviour. Respect for differences between people and their own choices is essential in these interventions and the verbal and non-verbal behaviour of front-line workers.
Keywords: public services; front-line workers; empathy; attentive intervention; experiential knowledge; visual impairment; Aruba.

If you’re experiencing a ringing in your ears that nobody else around you can hear, you’re not alone.
Tinnitus is a condition affecting approximately 13% of UK adults on a daily basis, with around 30% of us expected to experience symptoms at some point in our lives.
Many of us will be familiar with the peculiar buzzing sound that can remain prevalent in our ears after being in a particularly loud environment, such as a concert. This usually fades after some time, but for those who suffer with persistent tinnitus – these noises are heard constantly.
Tinnitus can have a huge impact on someone’s quality of life, and destroy their ability to enjoy social occasions and everyday life – even sitting down to watch TV can be a challenge.
The good news is, there is help out there for tinnitus sufferers. There are plenty of ways to manage tinnitus symptoms once you’ve figured out the root cause of it.
In this blog, we’ll detail the common symptoms and causes of tinnitus, and the treatments that can help to keep it under control.
What is tinnitus?
Tinnitus is referred to as a perception of noises in the brain or ear, which aren’t coming from the outside world. It’s usually described as a ringing in the ears, and can be present all of the time or come and go.
There are two types of tinnitus:
- Subjective tinnitus – This is the main form of tinnitus that most people will suffer from (the typical ringing sounds in the ears that nobody else can hear).
- Pulsatile tinnitus – This is less common, and usually presents itself as a rhythmic pulsing or whooshing sound, often in time with your pulse. A doctor may be able to hear this type of tinnitus if you were to be examined.
Tinnitus is a common condition which people may suffer acutely (temporarily) or chronically, which means the symptoms are constant. For those experiencing persistent tinnitus, the symptoms can be extremely distressing and debilitating to an extent.
Persistent tinnitus can make it difficult to concentrate, listen to everyday sounds and engage in conversations.
Symptoms of tinnitus
For most people, tinnitus will sound like a ringing in the ears, but it has also been described as other complex sounds, including:
The noises produced by tinnitus can vary in pitch – from high-pitched ringing to low roaring sounds. The noises may be persistent and heard constantly throughout the day, or they may be heard briefly at unpredictable intervals.
The exact cause of tinnitus remains a mystery, and there is no single diagnosis for all tinnitus sufferers. However, tinnitus can usually be attributed as a symptom of other underlying health issues or problems in the audiological system.
The main causes of tinnitus are:
- Hearing loss – Most people suffering with tinnitus will also be experiencing hearing loss, from severe cases to even the most mild.
Hearing loss sufferers have damaged cochlea (tiny, delicate hair cells in the inner ear). The cochlea moves when the ear receives sound waves, which sends electrical signals to the brain and are in turn, interpreted as sounds.
When the cochlea is damaged, they can send random electrical signals to the brain which translate as sounds, i.e. tinnitus.
- Ménière’s disease – This condition affects the inner ear and can cause excessive fluid build-up which can lead to tinnitus and hearing loss.
- A buildup of ear wax – Too much ear wax in the ear canal can change the pressure in your ear and cause tinnitus. If this is the case, the problem may easily be solved via ear wax removal.
- Ear infection – Similarly to excessive ear wax, an ear infection can cause blockages in the ear canal, and therefore increase the pressure in your ear.
- Exposure to loud noise – When the ears are subject to excessive loud noise over a period of time, it can damage the hair cells in the ears and lead to the onset of tinnitus.
- Head or neck injuries – Trauma in the head or neck area can impact the inner ear, brain functions or hearing nerves which can lead to tinnitus in the ear of the side which had the most impact.
There are many other causes of tinnitus which can be linked to either developing or exacerbating the symptoms. Other ear problems, injuries that affect the nerves in the ear or audiological system in the brain, and chronic illnesses such as diabetes, anemia, thyroid problems, autoimmune disorders and many more can cause tinnitus.
Treatments for tinnitus
Whilst there is yet to be a ‘cure’ for tinnitus, there are plenty of methods that can be used to help manage the symptoms, decrease the stress caused by the noise, and ultimately improve the quality of life.
The method which will be the most effective in reducing or masking the symptoms for any one individual, will largely depend on the root cause. In most cases, treating the underlying condition which is causing tinnitus will have a huge impact on reducing or even removing symptoms.
Some of the most common tinnitus treatments include:
- Hearing aids – For those who are suffering from hearing loss related tinnitus, hearing aids can help to provide great relief. Hearing aids help the wearer to hear clearer and at a higher volume, which can help to make tinnitus less noticeable.
- Ear wax removal – In cases where tinnitus is being caused by an excessive build-up of wax, microsuction ear wax removal can provide instant relief by unblocking the ear canal and releasing the pressure on the ear. For the majority of people, this will remove tinnitus altogether.
- Relaxation techniques – Tinnitus can be triggered by or worsened when a person is under a great deal of stress. Learning relaxation techniques through meditation or mindfulness therapy can be helpful in reducing stress and frustration in order to cope better with the symptoms.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – For those with debilitating, persistent tinnitus which is preventing them from enjoying everyday life, CBT with a psychologist can help a person to spend less time thinking about their tinnitus and manage the anxiety caused by it.
Risk factors for developing tinnitus
Tinnitus can present itself in anyone at any age but there are certain stages of your life, habits, and behaviours that can increase your risk of developing it. These include:
- Age – Tinnitus is more likely to develop as we get older as the number of functioning nerve fibres in our ears decline – this can lead to a greater risk of developing hearing problems which can result in tinnitus.
- Noise exposure – Those who work in particularly noisy environments are at greater risk of tinnitus, due to the increased likelihood of damage to the ear canal over time.
- Smoking and drinking alcohol – Both behaviours lead to a higher risk of developing tinnitus, due to the impact that alcohol and nicotine have on blood flow.
- Specific health conditions – Those suffering from high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, arthritis, obesity and more have a higher chance of developing tinnitus.
How to prevent tinnitus
As tinnitus is essentially a by-product of another health condition or illness, it’s difficult to prevent tinnitus itself.
However, there are various methods that can be implemented in order to decrease the likelihood of developing some of these conditions in the first place. These include:
- Reduce your listening volume – Are you a regular headphone user? Make a conscious effort to turn the volume down and take regular breaks from listening, to reduce your exposure to loud noises. This will reduce the impact that loud music has on your ears and therefore lessen your chances of developing hearing loss, and tinnitus.
- Use hearing protection – For those who work in particularly noisy environments and can’t avoid loud sounds – such as construction, machinery or music – wearing ear protection is a must. Over exposure to these noises all day, every day, can cause irreversible damage to the ears.
- Take care of your health – It goes without saying that eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and drinking plenty of water can help to keep you in good physical health. Naturally, this reduces the risk of developing tinnitus-related conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes.
- Limit smoking and alcohol – Excessive consumption of alcohol or use of cigarettes can affect the body’s natural blood flow and contribute to developing tinnitus symptoms. Limiting engaging in these habits can minimise your tinnitus risk.
- Reduce stress and anxiety – Whilst this is undoubtedly more difficult to control, tinnitus can sometimes be triggered when you are stressed or anxious. Trying to take the time to look after yourself and de-stress can prevent the onset of symptoms.

Nagasaki Area Guide
Nagasaki Prefecture is located on the western coast of Japan's Kyushu Island. It has a complex mainland topography, and it also has the most number of islands in all of the prefectures in Japan. Here, the highlights of each area will be briefly introduced.
Nagasaki City is the largest city within the prefecture. Since the opening of its port in 1570, it has prospered as a window for trade with the West and with China. As a result, it has built a unique culture in which Japanese and foreign cultures coexist. Nagasaki City has two World Heritage Sites; the "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution (Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding, and Coal Mining Industries)," which includes Hashima, commonly known as Battleship Island; and the "Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region," which includes Oura Cathedral, the oldest wooden church of Gothic architeture in Japan.
An atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki City in 1945. The city has fully recovered since then, and it is now a thriving international city. Each year, Nagasaki promotes the importance of world peace, and a world without nuclear weapons. Nagasaki Hypocenter Park and The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum are some of the must-visit spots. The scenery of central Nagasaki City, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, is unique and beautiful. In particular, the night view has been recognized as one of the "The World's New Top Three Night Views" alongside with Hong Kong and Monaco.
Don't forget to check out festivals such as the Nagasaki Lantern Festival, and Nagasaki Kunchi! As for gourmet, Champon, Castella Cake, Omura-sushi, and Toruko Rice (Turkish Rice) are all must-try food!
The northern area includes Sasebo City, the second largest city in Nagasaki Prefecture; and Hirado, a city with a long history of trade with Western Europe, even before Nagasaki City Port.
Kujukushima (also referred to as Ninety-Nine Islands), like Mont-Saint-Michel Bay in France and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, is a member of the "Club of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World." In addition, the beautiful scenery of Kujukushima appeared in the opening scene of the Hollywood movie "The Last Samurai." You can enjoy the stunning daytime or sunset view from the observatories; alternatively, go on a cruise or try yacht sailing in the area. Other must-see places in Sasebo include "Huis Ten Bosch," Japan's largest theme park for families; and the downtown area where American culture, such as jazz and hamburgers, lives on through the influence of the US Navy Base.
Hirado City is located just across the "Hirado Bridge," which looks similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and you can go there via a limited express bus from Sasebo City. Some of the highlight attractions include the elegant St. Francis Xavier Memorial Church; A View of a Christian Church and Japanese Temples; and Hirado Castle, where you can stay overnight in a castle tower.
Shimabara Peninsula consists of Obama Town, Unzen City, Shimabara City and Minami-Shimabara City. The peninsula is located in the southeastern part of Nagasaki Prefecture that overlooks Kumamoto Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture across the sea. Formed through hundreds of thousands of years of volcanic activity, you can enjoy the charms of both the mountains and the sea, centered around Mt. Unzen, the highest peak in Nagasaki Prefecture, with a height of 1,483m.
Unzen Onsen, with its 1300 years of history, is a highland resort that has welcomed many foreign and Japanese travelers since ancient times. It is also a base for attractive hiking and trekking routes.
Shimabara City retains the atmosphere of a castle town, and it also has a unique townscape created by natural cold spring water that bubbles up throughout the town. Places such as Shimeiso (a traditional villa built above natural spring water), and The City of Swimming Carp (streets where carp are swimming in the water canals) are well-known attractions.
Popular activities in Minami-Shimabara City include a tour of the remains of Hara Castle and its lingering history of Christianity; a homestay experience with a Japanese family (farmers or fishermen); and a cruise to go dolphin watching where there's a 99% possibility of seeing dolphins.
There are different natural spring characteristics in each of the hot spring areas of Unzen, Obama, and Shimabara, and there are many inns where you can enjoy hot springs not just in large public baths for a feeling of openness, but also in your own private room. The main spots can be accessed by the Shimabara Railway and by buses. It takes less than an hour by boat from Shimabara Port to Kumamoto City and Omuta City in Fukuoka, and a tour of the wider area is also recommended.
The central area of Nagasaki Prefecture revolves around Omura Bay, where the world's first maritime airport, Nagasaki Airport, floats.
Hasami Town is a well-known porcelain producing region with more than 400 years of history. Here, you can enjoy the Japanese countryside in the traditional Nakaoyama District where many kilns are lined up, and in Nishinohara, where pottery factories have been converted into cafes and shops.
There are many photogenic spots throughout the central area of Nagasaki Prefecture; some examples include "Omura Park" and its 2000 cherry trees; the retro wooden building of JR "Chiwata Station" that sits next to the ocean; the "Fruit Bus Stops" scattered throughout Isahaya City, and the "33° North Latitude Observatory" with a view of the vast sunset. Also recommended is the Nagasaki Bio Park, where you can interact and feed animals such as capybaras, squirrel monkeys, kangaraoos and many more.
Nagasaki Prefecture has the largest number of islands in the island nation of Japan. It goes without saying that the beautiful sea and fresh seafood are attractions for any island, but each of the islands also has its own unique charms.
Iki Island has a variety of shrines all over the island, and its gourmet is represented by Iki wagyu beef, sea urchin, and Iki shochu liquor.
Tsushima (popular as the setting for "Ghost of Tsushima"!) is a border island with a unique, endemic ecosystem, floating between South Korea and Japan's main island of Kyushu.
Nozaki Island has majestic, imposing nature and simple churches counted as world cultural heritage, while the Goto Islands (Goto, Shinkamigoto, Ojika, Uku) are known for producing quality camellia oil and "Goto Udon," one of Japan's three major udon noodles. | <urn:uuid:85d3b8a0-d0d5-4180-8fee-21e936744747> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.discover-nagasaki.com/en/featured-topics/about | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953678 | 1,498 | 2.65625 | 3 |
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are thought of natural therapy canine since they were bred to be companion dogs. Thus they love meeting new people together with kids, are very light, and are eager to sit on a someone’s lap for long durations of time and are sufficiently small to take action. Working closely with canines actually opened my eyes to the profit that canines convey to people, each emotionally and bodily.
However, canine ownership is probably not sufficient to ensure greater bodily activity. In one Australian research, homeowners of enormous canine spent extra time walking than those that owned small canine, and dog ownership per se was not related to higher likelihood of obtained really helpful exercise ranges . Not all investigations famous that schizophrenics derive benefit from animals.
In a research published in 2008, psychologists observed a chilled effect following pet remedy in a small sample of nursing home residents. Other research have shown that animal-assisted therapy yields considerably decrease blood pressure levels. Pet therapy is a broad term that features animal-assisted remedy and other animal-assisted actions. Animal-assisted therapy is a rising field that uses dogs or other animals to help people recover from or better address well being problems, similar to heart illness, most cancers and mental health problems. Following more than a 12 months-lengthy hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteers — together with pet remedy dogs — have returned to Banner Desert Medical Center and Banner Children’s at Desert, both at 1400 S.

INNOVATIONS AND START- UPS ARE THE PRODUCTS OF A STRESS-FREE MIND
A STRESS-FREE MIND IS MORE INNOVATIVE AND WORK PRODUCTIVE
When I was studying Medicine at the famous King Georges Medical College in Lucknow, way back in the late seventies, we (my colleagues and me) were trained to be kind and compassionate to the patients we treated, as part of our education ,because we were taught they were in a lot of physical pain and agony and needed our kind healing touch and treatment. Gradually with the passage of time, the focus of treatment shifted to Good Holistic Health which included emphasis on the importance of Good Mental Health as well Good Physical Health.
Later, while practicing as a doctor I found that many patients who came for treatment and investigations for their ailments, used to be very stressed and anxious, for multiple reasons. Either they were worried about their disease, or the cost of treatment entailed or the repercussion it would have on their family. This stress compounded their illness and made it worse!
Many a time the patients suffered work pressures, peer pressures, family tensions, financial strains and so on, and these constraints made them so stressed that they had headaches and burn out, which further deteriorated their work performance, and this made them more stressed.
A vicious cycle followed, which could not be relieved by any medication, no matter which brand or how much. Psychosomatic disease is the term given to such ailments-which simply means—body symptoms due to mental stress!
As my children were growing up through their adolescent years, I encountered many of their friends and numerous other students who were stressed/ depressed ,due to a plethora of reasons like peer pressure, parental pressures, self –expectations leading to pressures, academic pressures and so on-the list is never ending. This large chunk of stressed youth had no one to turn to for help, as their parents, who were believed to be the natural support systems for children some years back, were also in the same boat as their children today, and were very stressed and disturbed, lacked adequate parenting skills and were not able to communicate rationally with their children. All these factors resulted in the children moving away psychologically from parents and family into the clutches of addictions and substance abuse. The situation had catapulted from bad to worse.
Parent -child conflicts were rampant, relationship issues were so common and divorces were taking place at the drop of a hat, road rage, anger and aggression reigned supreme in the family and on the roads .What was happening to the society and in the society was beyond anyone's comprehension. The saddest part was that children and the youth bore the brunt of all this and had no one to turn to for help or guidance. They instinctively turned to their peers for support who led them to maladaptive coping.
Stress, I found was the root cause of all these maladies .If people knew how hazardous stress could be to their mental and physical health, if youth just understood that stress could lead them to drugabuse, alcoholism, depression, and many more such maladies, and if they were AWARE and EMPOWERED that Stress could be Coped and Prevented and told How they could do so, their life would be stress-free, anxiety- free, happy and they would be able to live a more work productive and enriched life.
At this point I took up the challenge of doing this and founded PARI FOUNDATION a NGO which is an Acronym for Psychological Assessment And Rehabilitation In --all people, especially children and youth. Our NGO uses the tool of CBT---Cognitive Behaviour Therapy--and empowers and educates youth that their THOUGHTS are completely in their control and by changing/shaping their thoughts they can change their attitude towards a specific problem thereby countering or overcoming it successfully. Thus they can PREVENT BEING IN STRESS.
PARI FOUNDATION focuses on SELF-IMPROVEMENT with the help of CBT.
Our Destiny , we advocate, is not in the hands of any supernatural power, as we were made to believe in, by our fathers and forefathers. We can ALL shape our destiny the way we want it to be, just by focusing on the quality and quantity of our thoughts and changing them accordingly. This is self-empowerment and works wonders and keeps stress at bay. This is also ‘adaptive coping.’
PARI FOUNDATION has worked with thousands of students in hundreds of schools in India, in and around DehraDun ,UP and we are rapidly moving on to newer horizons. We have empowered hundreds of youth to PLEDGE AND SAY NO TO STRESS AND DRUGS. Technology has been a boon for us and has helped us dramatically in our endeavour to reach out to more and more youth all over the country, Students attend our LIVE-workshops ,have Interactive sessions with our team, whereby we help them think differently and find rational solutions to numerous problems which plague them, thereby helping them ward off the stress. Internet services made available far and wide enable us to talk to youth even in the remotest areas by e-conferencing. Skype sessions with students who need them, e-mails, mobile chats and messages, further ensure that students can reach us easily. Our videos/films/questionnaires help students gauge their stress and anxiety levels and they find quick remedies on our website, at the click of a button.
Our aim is to have stress free and happy society which will automatically be more efficient and work productive. Stress-free people can work better and harder and sustain themselves and their families in a much more conducive way. We believe that rather than being stressed and then learning to manage it—let us all --PREVENT STRESS .This is also our motto and it is 100% possible today. Awareness and Empowerment are the keywords.

There are myriad the reason why an estimated 90% of startups fail. You wish a famous knowing (and never comely one famous knowing), you wish inspiration, funding, neat folks—and a comely amount of perfect fortune. Omit anybody of these components, and failure might perhaps very well be a foregone conclusion.
For younger corporations or minute teams that assemble good points, recordsdata is also yet any other stumbling block. The databases they rely on grasp traditionally stymied innovation by being advanced and dear to scoot up, situation up, and withhold. Proofs of knowing—suggestions with the aptitude to became something huge—can die earlier than even being tested attributable to an absence of funding or database ability.
But contemporary advances in database know-how grasp begun making a accurate contrast to a startup’s capability success. The complexities of constructing and sustaining a scale-out, disbursed NoSQL database like Apache Cassandra™ is also shouldered by database-as-a-service (DBaaS) companies. And the provision of pay-as-you-experience, serverless database offerings grasp opened contemporary doorways to experimentation and checking out of up-to-the-minute services and products or products suggestions which will need been off the table earlier than.
Let’s stare upon how engineering leads at two startups, for whom recordsdata is a excessive a part of their success, are harnessing these advances to focal level on what matters most: building, checking out, and getting to market rapid with contemporary parts and products that take care of their customers’ ever-altering wants.
Ankeri: Sailing faraway from the relational world
Ankeri, founded in Iceland in 2016, gives recordsdata services and products to corporations that situation up container ship fleets. Ankeri unifies industrial and technical ship recordsdata from thousands of vessels and disparate know-how platforms and permits ship householders and charterers to manage and allotment recordsdata from their ships and collaborate for improved resolution making (…think higher gasoline fee management and vessel preference).
It’s a chopping-edge platform built on recordsdata—a amount of it. Ankeri runs roughly 4 million database reads and a pair of.4 million writes per hour, and the company is rising rapid. The corporate determined early on that relational databases would not present the efficiency or scalability wished to attend an expanding situation of recordsdata sources.
“We wished something that can perhaps work for 100 ships besides 10,000,” states Ankeri Vice President of Engineering Nanna Einarsdóttir. The preference of counting on NoSQL database became once an obvious one, she talked about. After reasonably learn, Cassandra proved to be the absolute best candidate. However the experience wasn’t without challenges.
Though made up of seasoned builders, her workers had small experience with NoSQL databases; Einarsdóttir acknowledges that designing a product that runs on a non-relational database required getting over about a hurdles, not not as much as in the origin.
For one, most NoSQL databases require building tables primarily primarily based upon acquire admission to patterns (reasonably than doing so primarily primarily based upon the nature and construction of the records, as is the case for relational databases), and this implies extra up-front time funding, Einarsdóttir says. It also translates into extra time funding for product assign changes early in the product existence cycle. There might be, alternatively, a silver lining in this additional required effort for the Ankeri workers.
“Spending that extra time on the assign table is, at its core, purposeful to the product, and it decreases the preference of U-turns you might perhaps otherwise rep for the length of product construction,” she mentions.
With the initial database situation-up piece on the attend of them, the Ankeri workers wished to focal level on building and improving its platform. Notably for minute teams, spending manpower and resources on database repairs and monitoring is also moving to define. That’s a limiteless reason that Einarsdóttir says Ankeri determined to experience with a database-as-a-service; the company landed on Astra DB from DataStax, a serverless, multi-cloud DBaaS built on Cassandra.
“A DBaaS diagram that minimal time is spent on setup earlier than we can commence engaged on the product itself,” she states. “We’re a commence-up company, and as such prefer to be targeted on parts reasonably than infrastructure. The scoot from a knowing to buyer strategies ought to be instant, and we prefer to be agile and forward pondering.”
Circle Media: Specializing in family, not recordsdata
For Circle Media Labs, a provider of apps and units to motivate of us situation up their family’s time on-line, deciding on a DBaaS became once a pretty straightforward resolution. Circle Foremost Engineer Nathan Bak became once intimately enthusiastic with the attain of Astra DB for the length of his tenure as a senior software engineer at DataStax (Circle is also a DataStax buyer).
Even in conjunction with his consciousness of the workings of NoSQL databases, Bak opted to make exercise of a service provider, for a reason much like Einarsdóttir’s pondering
“Especially at minute startups, enact you genuinely prefer to use money to hunt out and hire a person that is going to be working a handful of databases? And what if that person goes on vacation, what are you going to enact?” Bak asks.
But there’s yet any other construction supplied by a rep community of database services and products that is making it more uncomplicated to focal level on building products in space of recordsdata management: the provision of “serverless” recordsdata. Trendy databases is also not easy to scale up and down, which on the total outcomes in costly overprovisioning.
But by environment aside the compute and storage good points, scaling up or down turns into extra efficient and faster. A serverless structure matches recordsdata utilization to workload peaks and valleys—regardless of how spiky. This eliminates the costly and labor intensive assignment of estimating top masses and permits builders to pay comely for what they exercise—regardless of what number of database clusters they non-public and deploy.
For Circle, the undeniable truth that DataStax’s Astra DB is serverless simplifies their ability to test up on contemporary product and repair suggestions. If, say, someone came up with a brand contemporary knowing, the inquire of might perhaps very well be posed: “But is it correct ample to scoot up a brand contemporary database?” This isn’t a narrate with serverless databases, alternatively. Every developer can grasp a database for their salvage proof of knowing; the rivalry that existed beforehand over who will get acquire admission to to a checking out database comely goes away.
“I doubtlessly grasp half of a dozen serverless databases with POCs working on them that can perhaps not experience wherever, nonetheless I will withhold them working since it’s costing comely pennies, and the records isn’t lost,” Bak says. In Circle’s case, a form of initiatives sooner or later grew to became a brand contemporary and precious service: emails despatched to users detailing their households’ weekly on-line tool utilization.
“This venture went from me engaged on it on and off—with maybe a megabyte or two of recordsdata. But then it pleasing instant multiplied 1,000-fold—and then 10,000-fold,” Bak says. “There were lots of things to anxiety about as that venture grew. The database wasn’t one of them.”
The ability to scoot-up contemporary checking out databases for POCs also prevents latency aspect effects that can perhaps grasp an impact on the buyer experience, Bak provides.
“Even whereas you happen to enact grasp your database neutral-sized, with a POC you’re doing something alternative. Even as you happen to’re hitting your database with a bunch of up-to-the-minute requests, that can perhaps grasp an impact on the functionality of your core product,” he says. “You don’t need your buyer to grasp a defective experience.”
Data is a key piece of many enterprises’ success. Notably for folks who are early on their dash, it’s the very last thing that ought to acquire in the diagram in which.
Einarsdóttir maintains, “It makes your total contrast with a neutral to non-public contemporary databases in a matter of minutes to test up on a brand contemporary knowing, without speculations about provisioning and dedication. For innovation, time is of the essence.”

January 2003: Review of God and the World: Believing and Living in Our Time; Happy Are You Poor: The Simple Life and Spiritual Freedom and The New Faithful: Why Young Adults Are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy.
God and the World: Believing and Living in Our Time
by Cardinal Ratzinger
This is the third interview book done by Cardinal Ratzinger. The first two, “The Ratzinger Report,” and “Salt of the Earth,” were both bestsellers. This new interview book is the longest and perhaps the best of the three. Journalist Peter Seewald (incidentally, the same person who interviewed Cardinal Ratzinger for “The Salt of the Earth”) spends three full days at the Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino in a setting of silence and prayer where he questions the eminent Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith about a wide variety of issues. Reading this book deepens one’s understanding of Catholic doctrine (particularly incisive are the Cardinal’s comments on Creation) and helps the reader navigate through the present crisis in the Church and in the world. It is a book brimming with insights from one of the finest Catholic thinkers of our time.
Happy Are You Poor: The Simple Life and Spiritual Freedom
by Fr. Thomas Dubay, S.M
Many readers will be familiar with this author’s name since Fr. Dubay is one of the greatest spiritual writers and retreat masters in the Church today. This book is a reprint of a work originally published in l981. And it is a gem! Too often Catholics tend to think of poverty almost exclusively in relationship to religious life and the vow of poverty those take who live the consecrated life. Fr. Dubay’s thesis is that simplicity of life and eschewing materialism is the calling of every believer. This is the kind of book that will not only open the reader’s eyes regarding a critically important Gospel truth, but also could change one’s life. With lucidity and profundity on every page, “Happy Are You Poor,” is Catholic spiritual writing at its best. You will treasure this book.
The New Faithful: Why Young Adults Are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy
by Colleen Carroll
In this exciting book Catholic journalist colleen Carroll has written a wonderful and very hopeful work about young Christians from all over America who are discovering, or in some cases rediscovering, traditional, orthodox Christianity. While many of the persons discussed in the book are Catholic, Miss Carroll also provides the stories of many Orthodox Christians and evangelical Protestants who have rejected the secularism and relativism of American culture and have become leaders in their respective denominations of a revival of orthodox Christianity. Miss Carroll talks to young Christians from a wide variety of vocations who are challenging our secular culture and bringing the saving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to countless Americans. Instead of isolating themselves from our culture, these young people are engaging it and the fruits of their efforts are already most impressive. This is the perfect antidote to all the bad news Catholics have been hearing this past year. Here is a book that will raise your spirits and give you great hope.

Results of total ankle arthroplasty.
Most published reports related to total ankle arthroplasty have a fair to poor-quality level of evidence. Comparative studies with a fair to good-quality level of evidence suggest that total ankle arthroplasty provides equal pain relief and possibly improved function compared with ankle arthrodesis. On the basis of the current literature, survivorship of total ankle arthroplasty implants, when measured as the retention of metal components, ranges from 70% to 98% at three to six years and from 80% to 95% at eight to twelve years. Several investigators have argued that, in the evolution of total ankle arthroplasty, some obligatory reoperation without removal of the metal implants is anticipated; examples of reoperation include relief of osseous or soft-tissue impingement, improvement of alignment or stability of the foot and ankle, bone-grafting for cystic lesions, and/or polyethylene exchange. A successful return to low-impact, recreational sporting activities is possible after total ankle arthroplasty.

What is a UX Strategy?
A UX strategy is the tailored plan and approach for a site or product. This tailored plan consists of a carefully chosen collection of UX methods, put together in a specific order, and adjusted to fit user needs, technical constraints, and business goals. In short, it’s taking the UX methods listed on this site and putting them in order.
Though that may sound easy, understanding which methods to include in a plan only comes after enough understanding of each method, resources, budgets, timelines, constraints, UX maturity at the company, and more. There is no one way to determine a UX strategy, and each strategy may be different than the last, which is why it can be difficult to pull off.
There are a lot of variables in forming the right UX strategy, and a well thought-out UX strategy will help guide a team through the product life cycle, with confidence that they are solving the right problems for their users and the company, and in the right order.
What do you need to create a UX Strategy?
How do you create a UX Strategy?
Step 1: Conduct a discovery session
A Discovery Session is the first (and most important) meeting you are going to have with your stakeholders or client so you can better understand what it is that they are trying to do and why. It will cover the goals, requirements, justification for the work, deadlines, constraints, key contacts, and anything else that may give you a high-level understanding of the project.
In a Discovery Session, you will ask a series of questions whose answers will allow you to then tailor a precise UX strategy for the project, and set expectations about what you can reasonably deliver based on their requirements, timeframe, and constraints.
Step 2: Understand the gaps and assumptions
From the Discovery Session, you will be able to identify any goals, user needs, and requirements that were based on assumptions. These can be considered gaps, and you need to make note of these as they will come back into play when you set your UX strategy.
Step 3: Understand the constraints and risks
Understanding your constraints like timeline, budget, resources, and technical limitations should also help you identify risks, which can then help you refine the list of UX methods you add to your UX strategy. If it’s a tight timeline, you may need to find the balance of UX methods that can be done quickly and that offer the biggest payoff. If your resources or budget is a constraint, you may need to focus on cheaper UX methods. If the company plans on spending 2 years building this with 20 developers, that signifies a high risk, and you may need to propose more upfront, evaluative research methods before any design work is started.
Have a 30 minute meeting with the person that can help you understand the constraints. That’s probably all you will need.
Step 4: Create your UX strategy
Now that you have a deep understanding of the goals, risks, requirements, gaps, assumptions, and constraints, you can finally (and confidently) choose which UX methods to include in your UX strategy, and in what order.
Factor in everything we have covered and select the UX methods that can feasibly be done within your timeline, that will fill the biggest gaps and assumptions, and reduce the most amount of risk going forward with your project. Put them in a list, along with the length of time it will take to complete each one.
This is also where it gets tricky. UX is all about empowering confident decisions in design, but when forming a UX strategy, you need to weigh your confidence in the project against the consequences of failing.
In general, if there are a lot of assumptions being made, and the consequences of failing are severe, then it is in your project’s best interest to add some UX methods towards validating those assumptions.
On another hand, if there are a lot of assumptions being made, but the consequences of failing are mild or lax, you may wish to go for more of a lean UX strategy. This approach focuses on building something quickly based on those assumptions and including UX methods that can help validate it quickly after it has been released.
Remember, some methods may be quick to do, but other, longer methods may lower your risk more and provide you and your stakeholders with more confidence. You need to understand these trade-offs, and more importantly, be able to communicate them to your stakeholders in a professional manner. Which brings us to the next step.
Step 5: Review your UX strategy and make adjustments
Now that you have your proposed list of methods that form your UX strategy, review it with your stakeholders or client. You may have to make some trade-offs and adjustments, which is why you need a deep understanding of the pros and cons of each UX method you’re suggesting.
Step 6: Start work on your plan
Once you have finalized your list, you can now start at the top and work your way down.

I wish to start this with a question as to whether any of you have read Nicolas Suzor's 2010 article titled "The Role Of The Rule Of Law In Virtual Communities"? Yes, I know that I have just jumped over Lawrence Lessig's writings from 1998 onwards, but there's purpose in that, if you'll allow me some freedom here. As for links, or further explanation, other than what the title is very clearly stating - - - well, how about the links be a little later once we have established whether anyone is even interested in this topic. Plus I am not sure I remember what the rules here are on posting links, even if to '.edu' sites. As for "further explanation" - - - well, that thread title is rather clear, yes? Well, how about a question to answer a question: Do any of you know of an Online Community that follows Ballot Box Rule? Now I have started using the vocabulary Ballot Box Rule because the word 'democracy' makes some folks nervous. And there are other words that could be used, like parliamentary rule, but that also makes some folks nervous. So I sort of decided to start with a kind of new thing for the purpose of explaining that the Online Community Citizens run the show in a given community. Not those fancy words like democracy and parliamentary, but simple plain language, the "Ballot Box". Of course, we would be using some sort of digital ballot box, but I would bet one of you super smart programming wizards could come up with a neat and safe digital ballot box, yes? Yep, I knew you could. | <urn:uuid:2c42523c-dd72-4592-bdd0-eb477d4d8d5f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/rule-of-law-in-online-communities.799319/?utm_source=afterdawn&utm_medium=frontpage&utm_campaign=latestPostsAreaBottom | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958099 | 326 | 1.679688 | 2 |
$26 Billion dollars worldwide since 2016. That’s not a very long time to generate that kind of under the table money. The way to make that kind of money is through something generically called Business Email Compromise. It’s actually a lot more specific than it sounds.
- the attacker uses the Display Name feature to hide the real from address
- the attacker uses “look alike” domain naming harborcornputerservices.net instead of harborcomputerservices.net
- the attacker uses domain forgery, which is a completely different domain but then tells is to view as your domain so you think it’s an internal email
I prefer the term, criminal, to attacker since their goal is to cause you to give up your money. A stick up from a distance if you will.
How we protect from this
Remembering that nothing is 100% and we can’t carry your liability, we don’t write the software, we aren’t there reviewing every click you make and all of those legal things. Here are the features of 365 that we implement to protect you from these types of attacks.
Collectively the features are called Mailbox Intelligence and when we enable that intelligence, we’re asking the system to build a profile of your email patterns and then to consider those patterns within it and alert you when something has come in that is outside of that pattern.
First, we tell it which email domains to pay special attention to. Of course, we want your domain, but we can also include other people’s domains. In that custom domain category, we’ll include key customers like those that you might get money transfer requests from, those connected to BIG contracts, so the criminals don’t use you to get to that larger corporation or government entity. We can even include those where you know they’ve had a compromise. Small businesses are often used as a steppingstone to get to Tier 1 suppliers and government agencies.
Next, we turn on the mailbox intelligence and impersonation protection. After we do that, then we tell it which users we want to have this extra layer of protection on. Meaning which users is it going to collect enough information on, to be able to understand when an email is out of the norm for that person’s email pattern.
Finally, because we’re asking a faceless artificial intelligence to make email decisions for us and we’re implementing these “extra” security measures we know that they’ll also have a small impact on the overzealous side. Meaning some email will end up in quarantine that should have been delivered. For that, we have allow listing. Allow listing is a bit of a manual process and it can be dangerous. Because we’re telling the system to override and deliver the message anyway.
Allow listing can be required because of the bad reputation of the ISP, the domain or the email user causes these protections to mark the sender as unsafe. But in those cases, you’re also agreeing to take on the risk of getting mail from that risky location or person or ISP. Often there’s no choice but it is a security awareness issue. When you add to the allow list, know that just because that email is now delivered to your inbox instead of making a stop in quarantine first, doesn’t necessarily make life suddenly wonderful. What it actually does is put more responsibility for risk on the person receiving the email to their inbox.
That’s a quick summary of something that we do on our end that you hopefully never see to protect you from email impersonation attacks by criminals.

Scaled down models of IAF's Rafale aircraft and Indian Navy's Kolkata-class stealth destroyer and a Kalvari-class submarine were also displayed during the ceremonial event.
A marching contingent of the Corps of Army Air Defence was also part for parade for the first time.
In the mechanised columns, three indigenously-developed battle tank T-90 Bhishma, three Ballaway Machine Pikate, three K-9 Vajra gun system, two transportable satellite terminal (TST) and two Akash surface-to-air-missiles, were also showcased.
The Apache and Chinook were among the main attractions as they flew across the clear blue sky, leaving the spectators spellbound.
The helicopters, transport aircraft C-130J Super Hercules and C-17 Globemasters, drew loud cheers from people as they showed their aerial manoeuvres.
US-made Chinook, twin-engine, tandem rotor is a multi-role, vertical-lift platform, which is used for transporting troops, artillery, equipment and fuel. Four Chinooks were inducted into the IAF in March last year.
Eight US-made Apache stealth attack helicopters were inducted into the IAF in September last year, significantly boosting the force's firepower capability.
The three Chinooks flew in 'vic' formation followed by the Apache, the latest attack helicopters of the Indian Air Force. Five Apache helicopters flew past the huge crowd in 'arrowhead' formation.
Boeing India President Salil Gupte said it was an "incredible honour" for the US firm that three of Boeing's state-of-the-art defence platforms, the C-17 Globemaster III strategic airlifter, AH-64E Apache attack helicopter and CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift helicopter were part of the flypast parade on India's Republic Day.
"There couldn't have been a better day to showcase the might of these flying machines that help the Indian Air Force command the skies. Boeing has been a strong partner in the modernisation and enhancement of operational capabilities of India's defence forces. We remain committed to this partnership," he was quoted as saying in a statement by Boeing India.
Around 40 aircraft of the IAF and four helicopters of the Army's aviation arm took part in the Republic Day flypast.
After Apache came the 'Eye in the Sky- Netra' formation, comprising a single AEW&C flanked by two Su-30 MKIs. Thereafter, three C-17 Globemasters, in 'displaced trail vic' formation called 'Globe' formation flew past the dais, showcasing the IAF's heavy lift capabilities.
Besides Rafale, the IAF tableau also depicted scaled-down models four other systems recently added to its inventory -- indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), surface-to-air guided weapon Aakash missile and Astra missiles.
The Navy's tableau also showcased model of country's first indigenous aircraft carrier Vikrant with MiG-29K aircraft and depicted the force's humanitarian assistance during the Maharashatra floods last year.

This is a creative/historical paper written. It contains a fictitious character that travels from down south to Philadelphia in 1752. Some of his stops along the way are actual events that took place during this year. The author uses a diary entry technique to allow the reader a glimpse of the fictious historical character, Richard Mulhew's, life.
From the Paper:"Young Richard Mulhew was Benjamin Franklins next-door neighbor during his electricity experiments. Mulhew lived next to Franklin during his most famous electrical experiment at Philadelphia in 1752 when he flew a homemade kite during a thunderstorm and proved that lightning is electricity. Mulhew, although not talked about in most historical accounts, was often in the background helping Franklin complete many of his experiments. During one of Mulhews? many trips down south, he wrote an account of the events that took place during his journey home. One of these letters was preserved and finally published for everyone to read. The following excerpts are a few of the many days that Richard Mulhew documented in the letter."

A Queen Anne style house in northern New Hampshire. This lovely example of the Queen Anne style has a wonderful projecting bay that forms a tower on one side of the façade. An expansive porch extends across the rest of the front and wraps around the side. At the projecting entry bay, a second story porch provides an opportunity for more turns and scroll-cut ornament. The combination of clapboard and patterned shingle siding are typical of the style.
Popularized by magazines and house plan books by George F. Barber and others, houses in this style were built from coast to coast. Technological advancements in the wood products industry allowed the construction of wood framed houses with complex forms and elaborate detail at reasonable prices for middle-class buyers.
More than 50 full color photos are used to illustrate the Queen Anne style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.” Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
The 720 page award-winning and best-selling book is available in bookstores nationwide and through online retailers.

Paper Doll Template
When you print out the paper doll body in the link, you have a few options. You can use a variety of colored cardstock sheets, print out the desired templates on magnet sheets so your kids can play with their dolls on the fridge, or even use printer sticker sheets for one-time use dolls. While plain white printer paper works too, it doesn't stand up to very much use, so something thicker is best.
Color in the doll's body and create facial features using crayons, markers, colored pencils, or whatever medium strikes your child's fancy. Consider using yarn or embroidery floss for hair, or make wigs using felt scraps. Another idea is to make paper dolls that look like your child and their friends by using photos. If you use cardstock or regular paper, consider gluing the paper doll onto a lightweight cardboard base to make it sturdier. To protect the finished dolls, laminate or cover them with clear contact paper.

Dresses and Skirts
These printable paper doll clothes range from summery sleeveless dresses to stylish wrap skirts. Younger kids will love playing fashion designer for a day and coloring them in with their favorite crayons and markers. Use puffy fabric paint to add details like buttons and stitching, or stickers and washi tape to make fun patterns.

Does your child's paper doll need a winter coat or rain slicker? Dress up a winter coat by gluing a little faux fur trim around the collar and sleeves, and don't forget to decorate a cap and boots to match. Get the look of a toasty wool coat with felt and give the rain jacket a slick look by using oilcloth. Who said paper dolls can only be made with paper?!

Once you make special outfits for your paper doll, why not create some matching accessories? Your child's paper doll will look fashionable with strappy sandals, a cowboy hat, or even a tote bag. Glitter glue, mini rhinestones, and sequins make fun embellishments for paper doll accessories and kids love adding sparkle to their art projects. Find inexpensive faux leather scraps at your local fabric store for crafting realistic shoes and purses. | <urn:uuid:48b826e4-59b1-4c0e-b9de-85b7fdb92874> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/printable-paper-dolls-1253081 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.913987 | 613 | 2.15625 | 2 |
We need to get off the couch, put down our phones and get 30 minutes of heart rate-raising exercise per day. That’s the message of the government’s Move It AUS marketing campaign, which launched on Sunday.
There is no doubt we need to get the nation moving. In 2014-15 only slightly more than half of us met the weekly physical activity recommendations – 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity. One in eight of us did no exercise at all.
But the big question is, how will this “marketing initiative” succeed where many others have not?
This isn’t the first national marketing campaign designed to get us on our feet. Australians have been asked to be “Active Australia” (1997), “Get Moving (2006), ”Unplug and Play“ (2008), ”Find Thirty“ (2002) and “Life, Be In It!” (1975) – to name just a few.
The Australian Sports Commission described Move it AUS as “Life. Be in it 2.0” and will encourage people to “Find your 30”, calling to mind some of these previous campaigns that failed to get us moving.
In 2016, I wrote for The Conversation on the launch of the government’s Girls Make Your Move campaign, designed to encourage young women aged 12 to 19 to be more active. I noted that reviews of physical activity media campaigns have generally found that we see them and remember them, but they don’t change our behaviour.
So, did Girls make their moves?
The first and second wave evaluations found the campaign reached more than 80% of the target group. There was an increase in positive attitudes in wave one (for example, more young women agreed that physical activity was fun) but a decrease in wave two (for example, fewer young women agreed there was a type of physical activity or sport to suit everyone).
One in five self-reported that they had done more physical activity due to seeing the campaign. But the average number of times they participated in 30 minutes or more of physical activity a week didn’t change.
This finding – that a mass media physical activity campaign achieved high awareness and (largely) positive attitudes, but no meaningful behaviour change – is not a surprise. The outcome isn’t unique to Girls Make Your Move, or to young women as a target group. Find Thirty had high awareness but did not noticeably change the time spent walking or engaging in vigorous physical activity.
Nor is this finding unique to Australia. A review of stand-alone mass media campaigns to increase physical activity in the United States from 1980 to 2008 found very small and inconsistent changes in physical activity.
It takes more than a slick ad
Back when I was an undergraduate, my health promotion lecturer drummed into us that mass media is only useful for getting people to change their behaviour when it is accompanied by on-the-ground support.
Physical activity is complex. People want to know: How much exercise should I do? What type of exercise is best? How can I motivate myself to go running when I’d rather watch TV?
Read more: Research Check: do we really need to do five times as much exercise as we’ve been told?
It isn’t enough to just tell us to “Be Active” or “Move It”. Consistently, reviews of interventions around the world conclude mass media campaigns need to be part of a multi-component community-wide interventions. On their own, they don’t get us off the couch.
No quick fixes
A review of Australian mass media campaigns for physical activity, nutrition and obesity found that, on average, about two-thirds of target groups recall the main message but fewer change their attitudes or knowledge, and fewer still change their behaviour.
The most effective campaigns were those that involved a sustained, multi-phased effort over five years or more. But sadly, governments tend to launch big national campaigns with splashy PR, big budgets and optimistic targets – all with a short-term focus.
Effective campaigns have consistent and clear branding. There’s a reason Coca-Cola comes in a red can and McDonald’s doesn’t change the colour of the arches each year. Governments promoting healthy lifestyles could learn a thing or two from the opposition.
I’m not sure most Australians perceived a clear and consistent message in the two phases of the national lifestyle campaign – Measure Up (2008-2009) with its real people gaining weight before our eyes, and Swap It, Don’t Stop It (2011) with its cute animated balloon people.
Are you talking to me?
The most effective interventions are those that focus on a specific target audience. This is particularly important for a behaviour such as exercise, where the most effective interventions are targeted by gender, age and other factors. The types of exercise that are appealing, and even achievable, are not the same for a 15-year-old boy as for an 85-year-old woman.
So it’s surprising the Move It AUS campaign will move away from this “fragmented” approach and target the whole population.
It’s also counter-intuitive to emphasise Australia as a “sporting nation”. We might watch a lot of sport, but only one-quarter of us play organised sport and only half of us meet the physical activity recommendations.
The Move It AUS campaign’s presumably big budget is a definite plus, and there are encouraging references to building partnerships, providing infrastructure and providing “nudges” in the community.
If the government is serious about making us more active, let’s hope it listens to the evidence and develops a sustained multi-component intervention. Australians don’t just need to be told to “Move It” – we need to be provided with resources, information, incentives and extensive on-the-ground support to help us be more active. | <urn:uuid:16b9e9dc-a23b-481f-bf0c-7fdfa7e26141> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sweetbeautyonline.com/will-governments-new-move-exercise-campaign-move-us-lose-us/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.949016 | 1,268 | 2.140625 | 2 |
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Cyprus may finally get its piece of the moon. Some 40 years ago, the Mediterranean island nation was supposed to receive a 1.1 gram piece of moon rock from the United States. The rock was one of 270 such lunar samples U.S. astronauts brought back from Apollo moon missions in 1969 and 1972 that the Nixon administration gave as gifts to foreign countries. But the item vanished -- allegedly taken by a relative of an American diplomat. And with Cyprus reeling from war and internal strife in 1974, the year the U.S. Ambassador to Cyprus Rodger P. Davies assassinated, the rock was never presented to the tiny country. Three years ago, the moon rock was returned to NASA and locked up in a vault. On Wednesday, a Cyprus Foreign Ministry official said U.S. authorities are favorably considering a Cypriot request that the rock be handed over. The official, who insisted on anonymity because he's not authorized to speak to the media, said it will still take some time before the rock reaches Cyprus because some bureaucratic hurdles are involved. The lunar souvenir is encased in a plastic globe. An attached plaque reads, "This fragment is a portion of a rock from the Taurus Littrow valley of the Moon. It is given as a symbol of the unity of human endeavor and carries with it the hope of the American people for a world at peace." Joseph Gutheinz, a University of Arizona instructor and U.S. former government investigator who has been tracking down missing moon rocks, told The Associated Press that the Cyprus moon sample was taken by a relative of a U.S. diplomat who had been posted to the U.S. Embassy in Nicosia at the time. Gutheinz said that in 2009, he put pressure on the individual with the rock to "do the right thing" and return it, while urging U.S. authorities to reclaim it. The pressure worked, he said, and the individual returned the rock to NASA after a five-month-long negotiation. Many lunar samples gifted to other nations have been stolen, were destroyed or went missing, Gutheinz said. | <urn:uuid:e6dc8e9f-beae-4910-8479-41b15ead5b11> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/nation/article/Cyprus-may-get-its-moon-rock-after-40-years-8198847.php | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.964818 | 441 | 2.390625 | 2 |

Minimising negative effects on the local community and environment in general, is a priority for Hoogstraten.
The cooperative based near Antwerp, in Belgium continuously works according to sustainable methods and stimulates sustainable entrepreneurship amongst their growers. Examples of methods adopted by growers include bee pollination and using environmentally friendly biologicals to control harmful insects. It is the role of Hoogstraten to support all members with targeted advice about the use of natural resources and CO2 reductions, amongst many other topics.
“We rely on nature to help us produce our delicious strawberries, so taking care of nature and our environment is a given. Without bees and pollination there will be no strawberries”, says
Synnøve Johansson, Business Development Manager at Hoogstraten.
The cooperative itself also plays a vital role in ensuring sustainable production is adhered to at the office and is constantly looking at innovative ways to evolve practices. Their new office building is energy efficient and with automated heating and lighting, among other things. Rainwater is collected both on-site and at growers’ facilities. The water is then recycled, and growers utilise this supply for irrigation in the greenhouses. Solar panels on the roofs of the cooperative produce green energy, which is mainly used for cooling the strawberries.
Research is a big part of a more sustainable production and at Proefcentrum (Research Centre Hoogstraten) one of the current projects is specifically looking at the collection, decontamination, and reuse of rainwater from the trayfields used during the production of strawberry plants.
Johansson, said: “Water management is another crucial aspect of sustainability, and a priority from a production point of view. The plants require high quality water to produce our Hoogstraten strawberries”.
- The UK promotional campaign is run by Coöperatie Hoogstraten.
- Hoogstraten is the cooperative specialising in fruits, with a passion for quality.
- The main strawberry varieties grown by Hoogstraten are:
- Elsanta: Red and tasty, accounts for most of the strawberries marketed by Hoogstraten
- Sonata: Fresh red, round and sweet. Perfect for enlightened crop in winter and very successful in spring.
- Sonsation: Sweet with an intensive gloss. Looks like Sonata, but the red colour appears to be more intense.
- Limalexia: Fruits with a pleasant texture and excellent taste. Looks like Elsanta, but the fruit size throughout the growing season is better maintained.
- Murano: Everbearer with appearance of a June bearer.
- All strawberries sold at Hoogstraten are grown locally in Belgium, or just across the border in the south Netherlands.
- Strawberries account for approximately 50% of Hoogstraten’s turnover.
- Every year approximately one third of the strawberry volumes are sold domestically, while two thirds are exported, to the UK and other markets. From September through to mid-December around 80% of Hoogstraten’s volumes are exported.
- The UK marketing campaign for Hoogstraten strawberries began in September 2021.
- Scandinavia, UK and France are the largest export market for Belgian strawberries, due to the market favouring fresh products. | <urn:uuid:ed234f54-7dc9-4215-980e-2425e4972eb1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wholesalemanager.co.uk/sustainable-methods-are-at-the-forefront-of-hoogstraten-strawberry-production/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.923523 | 678 | 2.5 | 2 |
A few years ago, we decided to tear down our old above ground pool leaving this ugly dirt hole in our backyard. I am sure that many people out there are or have been in this exact situation. Whether the pool was just old and needs a new liner or the kids have moved out, nobody uses it anymore. Or you can take some ideas shared here and incorporate them into your backyard garden landscape.
I am going to show you how you can turn this area into a beautiful backyard landscape. We will build raised garden beds surrounded by crushed stone and incorporate a stone fireplace and wall.
The easiest and most affordable way to improve this area would be to buy some topsoil and throw some grass seed down. But that would be too dull, and I am glad that we did not take that route because I found some hidden treasures that saved us a lot of money.
I should mention that we are not the original homeowners and that the above ground pool was already here when we purchased the house, so we did not know what was hidden beneath the pool.
Planning your backyard garden landscape is a crucial step before the shovel hits the dirt. First, you want to use a tape measure to plot the dimensions on a piece of paper. Then once you have all the dimensions, you can draw out the area. I did two different drawings, one using coloured pencils and one using AutoCAD (I might do a tutorial on this sometime). AutoCAD has many features that allow you to label and move your structures around. But a pencil and paper will do fine.
You want to get a good idea of where your structures will be located and how much space you get to play with. This will also provide you with an idea of how much materials are going to cost. You want to make sure you have just the right amount of material. Too little and you will have to order more and too much, and you are wasting money.
Clearing the Landscape
This step, for me, was the most challenging and most back-breaking step. But once it was completed, I could better visualize it as a backyard garden landscape, and it also gave me a sense of gratification once it was done. I now had my blank canvas to paint.
Tearing down the pool
The first step in this process was tearing down the pool. I grabbed my handy axe and my surfboard. I took one swing and rode that wave into the neighbour’s yard (just kidding about the surfboard, but draining the water using an axe was the easiest part at clearing the area).
After the water was drained, I used a razor blade to cut out the liner and threw it out in the trash. The outer shell of the pool was metal, so I took my Sawzall, cut it into pieces, and sold it to my local scrapyard. That was the end of our above ground pool.
Separating Gravel/Sifting Soil
This step took the longest. I should note a couple of years had passed before we decided to turn the pool area into a backyard garden. This allowed weeds to take root and penetrate the weed barrier between the underlying soil and gravel surrounding the pool. The rocks needed to be separated from the ground.
However, this saved me a lot of money on rocks as I sifted through them and then used a hose to clean them off.
It took me three tries to build something efficient enough for the number of rocks that needed to be separated. The first two were small, and I felt like I was panning for gold. The last and final one I made was bigger, in which I propped up on blocks so that gravity would help with the process.
Raised Garden Beds
My raised garden beds are inexpensive and straightforward. The most expensive part about these beds has been the soil. This year, however, I started a compost pile, and so by next spring, I should have enough ground to replenish my garden beds.
I use “Tan Brown Builder Blocks” for the raised garden beds, which can be purchased at either Home Depot or Lowes. I love using these blocks because they are so versatile in designing your raised garden beds, and they will last forever. You can stack them and connect them anyway you want.
To connect these blocks and box, the soil in we use 2 x 6 Douglas Fir wood. It is just as good as cedar and much less expensive. The wood will eventually rot, but it is super easy to replace. All you have to do is buy another piece of wood, take out the old wood, measure the new piece, cut, and replace it.
This is the first year we are composting, so we are not exactly sure how much soil we will have or if we are even doing it right. From the research that I have found, you want between 25:1 to 30:1 portions of carbon (brown material such as leaves and even newspaper) and nitrogen (green material such as grass clipping and food scraps). Many ratios depend on what type of brown material to green material you put into the pile.
Therefore, I cannot tell the exact percentage by looking at how much brown and green material is in a pile.
For now, we are just going to eyeball it and make sure that the pile is more brown than green, that the pile stays very wet, and that we turn it in every few days. Even though this is our first time composting and we do not have good soil, I have already seen some advantages.
- We throw out less garbage. All our coffee grounds, spoiled vegetables and fruit, bread, pasta, and anything else that is not meat, dairy, or has oil in it gets buried into the pile.
- Worms! I noticed a lot of worms when turning the pile. Worms are great for composting. Worm castings are incredibly beneficial to plants.
- It is a good spot for all the overgrown weeds that we pulled up from our backyard garden landscape.
This step is where our drawing comes into use. We did not realize how much stone we had buried beneath our backyard garden landscape when we started planning. We also did not know that there were two layers of coloured stone. So our layout did not change, but our colours did. When digging up the crushed stone, we found so many big rocks that we could build a rock wall with steps against the back of our garage that leads out to our garden.
Once everything was cleared, we put our raised garden beds into place and built our fire pit and stone wall. We then filled in the rest with the rocks that we filtered out of the ground.
Our backyard garden landscape was a lot of hard work, but I loved it every step of the way. I realized halfway through that this project would never be fully completed. I have so many more ideas that I want to incorporate, such as a greenhouse to extend our growing season. This takes time and money. However, we now have a foundation to build upon, and we are super excited about what we can produce out of our backyard landscape garden. | <urn:uuid:ae5922ea-086a-4a1c-9013-bbe0b7c9397f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://littlehomereloved.com/demolishing-above-ground-pool-for-backyard-garden-landscape/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.977096 | 1,470 | 1.90625 | 2 |
Turkey looking to re-open northern Cyprus ghost town after 46 years
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish and northern Cypriot officials met on Saturday in an abandoned town wrecked by war to discuss potentially re-opening the area after 46 years, a move that Ankara said was a 'historic' opportunity to bring tourism and economic benefits. Varosha, a southern suburb of Famagusta, has been fenced off and abandoned since Turkey invaded northern Cyprus after a Greek-inspired coup in 1974.
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish and northern Cypriot officials met on Saturday in an abandoned town wrecked by war to discuss potentially re-opening the area after 46 years, a move that Ankara said was a "historic" opportunity to bring tourism and economic benefits.
Varosha, a southern suburb of Famagusta, has been fenced off and abandoned since Turkey invaded northern Cyprus after a Greek-inspired coup in 1974.
Ringed by a fence which extends into the sea, the former holiday resort has been off limits to anyone but the Turkish military since its 39,000 Greek Cypriot residents fled advancing Turkish troops.
Speaking in Varosha after touring the area, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said opening Varosha would have benefits for tourism, the economy and trade.
"Keeping this coast of paradise under the sovereignty of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus idle is not acceptable legally, politically or economically," Oktay said.
Turkish and northern Cypriot officials were continuing their inventory efforts there, he said.
"There is unfortunately an abandoned area here as well as rotting buildings. Our hope is that Varosha is revived in a way that will revitalise the economic, trade and social life here," Oktay said.
Oktay's visit to the region with Turkish and northern Cypriot officials marks one of the most concrete steps by either side towards re-opening Varosha.
The island of Cyprus was divided in 1974. The island's Greek Cypriots live predominantly in the south, and Turkish Cypriots in the north since the 1974 war. Several peacemaking efforts have failed and the discovery of offshore resources has complicated the negotiations.

By Robin Emmott and John Irish | BRUSSELS/PARIS BRUSSELS/PARIS France and Germany will agree to a U.S. plan for NATO to take a bigger role in the fight against Islamic militants at a meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday, but insist the move is purely symbolic, four senior European diplomats said.The decision to allow the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to join the coalition against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq follows weeks of pressure on the two allies, who are wary of NATO confronting Russia in Syria and of alienating Arab countries who see NATO as pushing a pro-Western agenda."NATO as an institution will join the coalition," said one senior diplomat involved in the discussions.

Inequality reexamined /
By: Sen, AmartyaPublisher: Oxford, U.K. Oxford University Press 1995Edition: New edDescription: :242: p. : 1ill. ; 22cmISBN: 9780198289289; 0198289286Subject(s): Equality | Welfare Economics | Liberty | Social Justice | Social Classes | Values | Poverty | EqualityDDC classification: 320.011 SEN
Amartya Sen argues that the dictum "all people are created equal" serves largely to deflect attention from the fact that we differ in age, gender, talents, and physical abilities as well as in material advantages and social background. He argues for concentrating on higher and more basic values: individual capabilities and freedom to achieve objectives. By concentrating on the equity and efficiency of social arrangements in promoting freedoms and capabilities of individuals, Sen adds an important new dimension to arguments about such vital issues as gender inequalities, welfare policies, affirmative action, and public provision of health care and education.

Language tutors can be very expensive to hire and they can only teach you a few hours every day or week, which is not always enough to properly learn the desired foreign language.
A computer application, on the other hand, has unlimited patience and no time limit, allowing you to practice when and how much you want.
Take quizzes regarding various conversation topics
WordBanker English-French enables you to study and learn the basics of the French language, using topical quizzes and pronunciation exercises. The tests are separated into categories, each one of them being designed to teach you how to take part in a conversation about a specific topic. You can choose from food and general restaurant vocabulary tests, country names, or clothes, in case you are planning on visiting apparel shops.
Each quiz contains a list of words, or a word bank, from which you can select the correct answer. The application renders a sound with the pronunciation of the word and you have to choose the right English translation. This also enables you to learn how to say the terms you are learning, not only recognize them in writing.
Manage the word bank and create practice MP3s
If you are a bit more experienced and you know the French language very well, WordBanker English-French allows you to manage and edit the word list, in case you are aware of better translation alternatives. You can also add phrases to exemplify the usage of the newly added word and record the proper pronunciation using a microphone.
The application comes with the ability to create MP3s featuring words from any of the available categories. You can include all the terms, or choose a start and finish word to skip those you do not want included in your MP3. Their order can also be changed, depending on whether you want the English or the French words to be pronounced first.
Learning a new language can be fun if you do it on your terms and from the comfort of your own home. WordBanker English-French helps you achieve basic French conversational skills with only your personal computer and a bit of spare time.

How to make infinite number of combinators?
I am having difficulty in writing combinators for the commutative monoid of natural numbers. I want to write a function where the input would be something of the form (n,2) and the output would be (2,2). I am not sure how to make it so that I can use an infinite amount of different combinators.
You could define a function that takes two natural numbers n and k, where k is the number of possible commutators:

RethinkDB is an open-source, JSON database made to continuously push updated query results to your web application. This makes it easy to develop and scale real-time web apps. In February 2017, the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) purchased the rights to the RethinkDB source code and contributed it to The Linux Foundation under the permissive ASLv2 license.
RethinkDB for All is a general introduction to RethinkDB on Compose.
Are you wondering what you'll get, or can get, with a Compose RethinkDB deployment? Want to know what you'll need to do to manage it? Check out some of the implementation features and details down in RethinkDB for Ops and Admins.
Just deployed RethinkDB and want to get coding with it? Developing an application or want to try a new stack? Then see the
RethinkDB for Developers section for resources on how to connect from different languages, command line tools and more information to get you started.
When deployed on Compose, RethinkDB comes with these standard Compose features.
- Automatically scaling server stack that scales RAM, CPU, and I/O as your RethinkDB data grows.
- Daily, weekly, monthly, and on-demand backups.
- Metrics displayed in the Compose UI.
- Deploy, manage, backup, and otherwise automate database tasks through The Compose API.
- Guaranteed resources per deployment.
- Daily logs available for download.
Compose deployments of RethinkDB also come with a number of RethinkDB specific features:
- Data Browser for RethinkDB.
- An optional add-on for real-time log access.
- The ability to forward rich metrics to services with an optional add-on.
- Start with 1GB storage for $22.50 - as you grow each additional gigabyte costs $18.
A standard RethinkDB deployment consists of a three node cluster, and one haproxy portal to serve as a proxy and provide SSL support to the cluster. Each data node has 1GB of storage and 102MB of memory. The haproxy portal has 64MB of memory.
As with all Compose deployments, a RethinkDB deployment features automatic vertical scaling so as an application’s data size increases, the RethinkDB resources scale fluidly to maintain consistent performance. You can also manually scale up your haproxy portals and RethinkDB nodes from the deployment's Resources panel. A 10:1 ratio of disk to RAM is maintained, so by increasing the disk allocated to the deployment, you increase the RAM allocated.
It is also possible to add haproxy portals in the Security panel of the deployment.
See Compose Datacenter Availability for current location availability.
Compose deployments are billed based on disk usage and your RethinkDB deployment usage is measured hourly. It is then grouped into a single monthly billing cycle. This means that any scaling or add-on usage will be charged from when the new resource was provisioned; not just for the month. You can see your deployment's usage in the Overview panel, under Current Usage.
Initial deployment set up is $22.50/month. Depending on which scaling and add-ons options you choose, the cost will increase. For example, if you wish to add extra storage and RAM, it is billed at an additional $18/month per unit of 1GB storage/102MB memory, so an additional 2GB storage/204MB memory will cost an additional $36/month.
All RethinkDB Deployments are high-availability clusters of three nodes and one haproxy portal. RethinkDB clusters consist of a master member which will coordinate writes. The additional members can become master in the event of a node failure. The data is spread across the cluster based on the replica and shard count.
Avoid Possible Data Loss
Replication of your data across nodes is not an automatic process. You will have to configure your data to spread across shards.
RethinkDB backups use the
dump command on your running database cluster to backup your entire deployment. You can both download your backups for local use, or restore them directly into a new Compose deployment. More information, details, and instructions for using your backups can be found on the Backups for RethinkDB page.
General information on backup schedules and downloading your backups can be found on the Backups page.
Since the Administrative Console is built-in to RethinkDB, it is the recommended way to interact and administrate your data outside of an application or script. However, if you wish to connect locally, using your language's driver and REPL, here are some general steps to get you started:
- Provision an SSH portal on your deployment (in the Security panel).
- Create a user and add their SSH key to your deployment (in the Users panel).
- Open an SSH tunnel to your deployment. See the Connecting to RethinkDB for more on this step, especially if you are on Mac OSX.
- In a separate terminal, start up your language's REPL, require the RethinkDB driver, and open a connection. More information on installing the client-drivers and setting up a connection can be found in the RethinkDB docs.
The Overview panel of the Compose UI provides the basic information you need to get connected to your databases. The Connection info section contains the Authentication Credential for your admin user and the RethinkDB Proxy Connection strings which will, along with the SSL Certificate, allow your application to connect to your deployment.
For more details and links to examples in many languages, see the Connecting to RethinkDB page.
The full list of documentation for RethinkDB is in the sidebar, in addition to all things Compose.

When adolescents struggle to find and pursue their purpose, they inevitably struggle in other areas, too. In the fast-changing, increasingly diverse but still inequitable 21st century, young people need a new kind of learning experience that will set them up to pursue their purpose and realize their dreams. nXu is an out-of-school program and a scalable platform, all centered around an innovative set of standards called Compass Standards that together enable young people to explore, articulate and pursue their purpose in life.
Launching initially in New York City, nXu brings together a diverse group of high school students from public district, public charter, parochial, and private schools to create new and life-changing learning opportunities that transcend conventional boundaries of the “school building” and the “school day”. The program capitalizes on four summers, afternoons and weekends during 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades as well as a post-12th grade challenge (i.e. gap) year—enabling students to learn with diverse peers in spaces and contexts not typically available to them.
Through this multi-year, multi-dimensional programming, nXu participants forge new connections—nexus, in Latin—and integrate experiences that have historically been separated for students. nXu sits at the nexus between school and college, childhood and adulthood, education and work, self and other, exploration and mastery, and the made and natural worlds. It is where students discover their purpose, plot out their own journeys, and find their place in the wider community.

Llanddewi Brefi Green Dragon Project – part of Wildlife Where You Live
Working in partnership with Llanddewi Village Hall Committee, the WWYL Green Dragon project aims to redevelop an underused area of conifer plantation skirting the recreation field. The natural and structural elements of the Dragon are already present in the form of a gnarled old tree, stone faced bank and overgrown hedge.
The project will restore and enhance these to raise the dragon! Working alongside experienced facilitators, local people will create a range of wildlife friendly features, such as: walled hedge bank restored to form the body and scales of the dragon, outgrown coppice cut back to regrow and form the backbone green spines, redundant stones rearranged to form the legs and talons and a new path made from wood waste chippings to link the dragon to a seating area. There will also be opportunities to make bird and bat boxes and carved interpretation panels for the site.
If you live near Llandewi Brefi and would like to be part of this project, please Contact Us for further information. Why not ‘like’ our Wildlife Where You Live Facebook page to keep up to date with all our WWYL news?

Professional health education needs assessment template pdf example. Assessment is a framework that focuses on various elements of assessment to aid teachers in devising lesson plans, executing classroom rules, analyzing student learning, and measuring student growth. In short periods, assessment is the systematic procedure of documenting, categorizing, rating, comparing, and contrasting pupil knowledge, skills, beliefs, behaviours, motivation, attitude, along with other pertinent aspects. It’s designed to encourage informed decision making by aiding students in the practice of acquiring learning knowledge and techniques that are essential for success in school and life. Like all the other areas, evaluation includes its own specifications and definition. For teachers, assessment can help construct and maintain effective teaching approaches.
Teachers need to develop structured assessments in their own classrooms. In the United States, these assessments are generally referred to as test preparation. The formative decades of schooling include the critical learning years which happen when pupils are in the main school stage. At this phase, parents and other teachers support the pupil’s academic efforts and provide constant advice. From the conclusion of the main school stage, these kids have formed a feeling on themselves, their schooling, and their capacity to participate constructively in the classroom.
Most schools follow an appraisal procedure which entails the processes of planning, organizing, delivering, evaluating, and adjusting coursework and instruction. The shipping phase of the learning assessment is composed of instruction planning, teaching tasks, and evaluations of instructional strategies. During the evaluation phase, teachers and parents work along with the student, seeking to develop individualized education plans. The growth of individualized instruction plans depends on the specific nature of the assignment, the complexity of the endeavor, the pupil’s performance from the prior test, feedback from other students, and teacher tips. For some assignments, group and individual evaluations might be run.
A free assessment template is essentially a process which every business makes use of for producing their daily operations stay until the mark. Usually assessment is a continuous process but it can be done once in a while in certain businesses. It’s very important for any business, as it is the driving force that would drive change and improvement in most departments. It assists in identifying the defects in the processes and systems and lays the basis for enhancing them. Thus, if you’re considering locating a free assessment template then the best thing you can do is just log on the internet and check out all the different template choices available.

Winstrol was introduced in the 1950s by Winthrop Laboratories under the name “Stromba”. It was used to treat hereditary angioedema, a rare genetic disease. Athletes also found that they could use it to gain strength and speed in terms of performance. In this article we’ll take a look at some of the general effects and risks associated with winstrol use.
Definition of Winstrol
Winstrol is a steroid that is used to treat muscle wasting diseases like HIV, hepatitis, and other muscle wasting conditions. It has also been used by bodybuilders to increase their body mass.
Winstrol is the generic name for the drug stanozolol. It belongs to the family of drugs called anabolic steroids. These drugs are synthetic substances related to male sex hormones (testosterone). They are not produced in the body naturally but can be manufactured in laboratories.
Winstrol can be administered orally or by injection. In the United States, Winstrol is a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it has a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence.
Why is Winstrol a great choice?
Winstrol helps with muscle building and also has the ability to increase your mental clarity, focus, stamina and strength. It can also prevent you from getting too hungry which is good for maintaining optimal muscle tone.
Sports stars have been using it for years to perform better and avoid injuries. It can also be used to treat a dog disease that causes muscles to weaken & bones to decay.
It can increase testosterone levels. This can be advantageous for people looking to build muscle or lose weight. It’s also good for your mental health.
Also, Winstrol is a great option for many reasons. It’s good for men and women, has few side effects and can be taken in various doses.
Lastly, it can be used to treat osteoporosis. This condition occurs when your bones are not strong enough because of low bone mass, which can lead to weakness and increased risk for fracture.
Benefits of Winstrol
Winstrol’s main benefits are that it can increase testosterone levels, build muscle mass, keep your appetite low and improve mental health.
One of the reasons behind the popularity of this steroid is that it inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells. The drug forces apoptosis in advanced-stage breast cancer.
Another benefit of Winstrol is that it can be taken during both cutting and bulking cycles, as well as alongside aromatase inhibitors and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators).
Winstrol works very quickly, often producing noticeable results in as little as two weeks.
