China and G-20 countries have agreed to give debt relief to the poorest countries in the world which are classified as IDA countries by the World Bank.
This is according to comments made by David Malpass, the World Bank president, on Friday at the ongoing virtual April 2020 virtual Spring meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
“I take note that in the G-20 meetings, China is supporting the international agreement to allowing moratorium of debt repayments by IDA countries if they ask for forbearance.
“IDA countries will have bilateral debt relief beginning May 1. That way, they can concentrate their resources on fighting the pandemic and its economic and social consequences.”
IDA countries are those with per capita income below an established threshold. The 2020 threshold is $1,175.
Countries, such as Nigeria and Pakistan, are IDA-eligible based on per capita income levels and are also creditworthy for some IBRD borrowing. They are referred to as ‘blend’ countries | <urn:uuid:51b140ff-3f9d-4a99-be1a-42103ffa7f63> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://financialenergyreview.com/2020/04/18/covid-19-nigeria-and-ida-countries-to-secure-debt-relief-next-month/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953628 | 210 | 2.359375 | 2 |

LAUSD board hears about coming financial crisis, considers impact of charters
For nearly an hour on Tuesday, Los Angeles Unified School District board members heard bleak news about the school district’s finances over the next five years from members of a blue-ribbon panel.
The panelists pointed to expensive employee benefits, declining student enrollment and other factors that are contributing to a projected $333 million budget deficit in two years and a doubling of the shortage two years following that.
Members of the panel told LAUSD board members that fixing the district's finances to avoid bankruptcy would be difficult.
“There’s no one single villain. You can’t turn to this person or this organization or to this movement and say, ‘If only they went away, all problems would be OK,’” said Miguel Santana, a panel member.
His comments appeared to refer to a charter expansion plan pushed by philanthropist Eli Broad and others, that would double the number of charter schools over eight years at a cost about $500 million. The authors envision as many as half of the LAUSD's students could be enrolled in the charter schools, which they see as an antidote to low-performing public schools.
But as the district's enrollment declines, so too does state funding tied to student counts. The school district’s enrollment has dropped by about 100,000 students in the last six years. Roughly half of that decline is due to students enrolling in charter schools, the panel reported.
The panel laid out short-term and long-term recommendations to reduce district expenses and increase revenues, many of which require buy-in from LAUSD administrators, employee unions and parents.
“Here’s an opportunity for us to really come together, the charter movement, our labor partners, this district, our communities,” said Ref Rodriguez, board member and a charter school administrator.
His board colleague, Monica Garcia, urged the board take quick action to head off the multi-million deficit. But Superintendent Ramon Cortines said the school board should wait for him to submit a roadmap to restore the district's financial stability based on the report’s recommendations.
The board heard the report on the same day that one of its members, Scott Schmerelson, introduced a resolution calling on his colleagues to oppose the charter school expansion plan.
Schmerelson’s resolution would not call for the charters to be halted — there are questions whether the board has the authority to do so. Rather, the proposal calls on the board to oppose the charters because, Schmerelson asserts, they won’t serve all students, such as special needs children.
Alex Caputo-Pearl, United Teachers Los Angeles president, said the Broad plan “sets up a way to open unregulated schools that are not going to have to serve high-needs students, are not going to be required to have public engagement with parents, and are going to cause a drain on the district budget.”
Labor groups have strongly opposed the plan to expand charter schools, many of which are non-union.
Sarah Angel, managing director of advocacy with the California Charter Schools Association, said the solution to the district's problems should involve all parties.
“I don’t think that the ability for a parent to choose a high-quality school should be pitted against the district’s finances,” Angel said. “There’s a way to create a stable, secure financially stable school district and provide high-quality schools of choice to families who desire them.”
The school board could vote on Schmerelson's charter school resolution at its next meeting in December. Consideration of the resolution and review of the district's finances come as the board heads into the final phases of its search for the next superintendent.
Cortines has said he plans to step down at the end of the year. | <urn:uuid:9f1991a6-3bf9-4947-bb71-b52dfe2f2e8a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.kpcc.org/news/2015/11/11/55583/lausd-board-hears-about-coming-financial-crisis-co/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96376 | 812 | 1.5 | 2 |

February 16, 2017 – A report released today by Startup Canada, the national rallying community and voice for entrepreneurs in Canada, reveals that early stage companies are three times more likely than more established companies to integrate digital adoption into their supply chains and feel confident in using new digital technologies. However, the rapidly evolving pace at which new digital tools are created and updated make it timely and costly for small business owners (SBOs) to keep up.
The majority of SBOs have an online presence (93 per cent) and regard digital technology adoption as extremely or very important to their company’s success (86 per cent). Sixty-nine percent consider themselves to be among the first to adopt a new technology solution. Seventy-four per cent of SBOs use digital technology including software programs and mobile applications to make sales and convert customers, while 67 per cent use technology to manage internal operations including human resources and financial management.
Even though technology has made it easier than ever to start a business, there is still a digital divide: women are 20 per cent less likely to adopt new technologies than men, and immigrant entrepreneurs are twice as likely to integrate digital technologies into their companies than those born in Canada.
HIGH TECH TURNOVER CREATES TIME, COST CHALLENGES FOR SBOS
Forty-four per cent of SBOs say the high cost associated with researching, integrating, and maintaining digital technologies is a main barrier to technology adoption. The time associated with this process is a main barrier for 38 per cent of entrepreneurs, and twenty-two per cent of SBOs also regard online privacy, cybersecurity and reliability as a top barrier.
ACCESSIBLE TRAINING AND SKILLS INCENTIVES AMONG RECOMMENDATIONS TO INCREASE SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS
Opportunities to support SBOs to harness opportunities through digital technology include: virtual training available to every SBO when and where they need it; and, incentives for SBOs to both up-skill their teams and hire new employees with in-demand digital skills.
Startup Canada is working with industry and government to address the challenges outlined in the report, and invites small business owners to learn how to harness digital technologies within their companies during a series of online events. Register at www.startupcan.ca/digitalsbos.
- “The rate of technology innovation has never been higher, and this has created unprecedented opportunities for early stage companies to start-up, validate their offerings, expand their customer base and improve efficiencies. As the speed of innovation increases, these companies face the challenge of keeping pace to remain competitive. Entrepreneurs, industry and government must work together to ensure they are able to do so.” – Victoria Lennox, CEO and Co-Founder of Startup Canada.
- “Digital adoption is key to ensuring that Canada’s businesses can compete in today’s digital world. Our government is working hard to help entrepreneurs make the best use of digital technologies. This makes it easier for start-ups to access new and leading technologies, creating more successful businesses and jobs for hard-working middle-class Canadians.” – The Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Small Business and Tourism

About the Research
To advance the discussion on digital entrepreneurship in Canada, Startup Canada, the national rallying community and voice for Canadian entrepreneurs engaged over 600 SBOs across various sectors, business phases, demographics and geographies to uncover how Canadian SBOs leverage technology to start, operate and scale their business. This report is the first in a four part research series, and highlights the greatest barriers to digital adoption for these businesses. Opportunities to address these barriers and encourage greater digital adoption rates amongst startups and small business companies to increase their competitiveness are also highlighted.

BROOME CO., N.Y. — The holiday season is upon us and Broome County Christmas tree farmers are ready to help you find the perfect tree! Big or small, narrow or round, you can find a tree that is just right on one of many local tree farms. Buying local not only supports Broome County farm businesses, it also assures you have the freshest tree possible. Fresh cut trees smell better and keep their needles longer.
If purchased locally, and displayed properly with plenty of water, most real Christmas trees have excellent needle retention. Real Christmas trees are the best choice for both the environment and the economy. Real Christmas trees are a renewable and recyclable resource. They are grown as a crop, by local farmers who provide jobs for others. Trees are harvested and replenished annually. As they grow, real trees absorb harmful carbons and produce fresh oxygen.
Buying a fresh and local Christmas tree can also be a great bonding experience for families. Many farms like bringing their entire families to experience the outdoors and finding the best tree for their home to decorate for the holidays. Please remember that COVID-19 guidelines are still in place even though this family-fun activity takes place outside. This includes wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and bringing exact change, or a credit card.
Following is a list from Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Broome County of the tree farms in Broome County.

London Mayor criticises Latvia’s “attack on human rights”
The Mayor of London has called the decision to ban Latvia’s Gay Pride “an unacceptable attack on human rights.”
His words have been echoed by gay rights group Outrage, Amnesty International and the Latvian President, who have all criticised the authorities in Riga for cancelling the parade in the capital on public order grounds.
Ken Livingstone said: “The decision by the City Council of Riga, capital of Latvia, to ban the city’s gay pride march is an unacceptable attack on universal human rights.
“The grounds given by the council for this ban, unspecified threats of violence by extremist groups are spurious. If extremist groups threaten freedom of assembly in the capital of Latvia the authorities should deal with the extremists, not ban a legitimate peaceful parade by the lesbian and gay communities.
“This ban appears to be based upon bigotry and discrimination against the lesbian and gay citizens of Latvia. I deplore the fact that the ban has apparently been supported by leading members of the Latvian government such as the Prime Minister and the role of Christian leaders in campaigning against the Gay Pride Parade.
“The European Parliament has made clear that lesbian and gay people should be treated with ‘respect, dignity and protection’. Latvia is clearly not doing this. I urge Riga City Council to reverse this ban and ensure this march can take place without impediment.”
Latvian President Vike-Freiberga said: “The refusal to authorise this parade is unacceptable in a democratic country.”
The request to stage the march, scheduled for tomorrow, had been made by Mozaîka, the Latvian association of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgendered persons (LBGT) and their friends, and by the gay rights organisations ILGA Latvija and Rîgas Praids.
“We are shocked by the city council’s decision, which we view as not only an unacceptable restriction of the freedom of assembly, but a major blow to democracy in the face of terrorist threats,” said Mozaîka board member Linda Freimane.
“We are preparing to challenge the decision in the Administrative Court today. Last year the Administrative Court acted very correctly by overturning the city council’s decision to revoke the Pride march permit, and so we are very hopeful that this year, too, the Court will defend democratic rights in Latvia by overturning the council’s decision.”
British gay human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell, yesterday flew to Latvia to attend Riga Pride, and to support the Gay Pride organisers.
Mr Tatchell said the city council decision “echoes the bad old days of Soviet tyranny”.
“It is scandalous that a member state of the EU is giving in to threats and blackmail by religious fundamentalists and the far right.
“The government of Latvia has a duty to resist threats of homophobic violence, protect its gay citizens and safeguard the right to peaceful protest.
“Riga Gay Pride is a litmus test of Latvian democracy.
“This ban fits a pattern of homophobia by the Latvian authorities. The Latvian parliament recently refused to pass a law prohibiting employment discrimination against lesbians and gays, even though as a member state of the EU it is required to outlaw workplace
discrimination based on sexual orientation. Latvia has also banned same-sex marriage,” concluded Mr Tatchell.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church in Latvia had said the Gay Pride march should not be allowed.
“It offends the morals of Latvia’s population and every Christian. It is a challenge and provocation against our religions,” he said.
Mozaîka believes that by forbidding the march, the city council is endangering not only the rights of sexual minorities, but the foundations of democracy in Latvia.
The group said: “This precedent is extremely dangerous, because it demonstrates that the use or threat of force against a particular group is effective in winning the support of state organs in restricting the rights of this group. No resident of Latvia will be able to feel confident that at some point similarly undemocratic methods will not be used against him or her.”
They pointed out that at least 20 foreign officials will be arriving in Latvia this week to participate in the march and Friendship Days, including members of the Swedish, Danish, Austrian and European parliaments, a Swedish army captain and representatives
of several human rights organisations.

Labour MEP Michael Cashman reacted angrily to the ban, the President of the European Union’s Intergroup for Gay and Lesbian Rights, said: “By acquiescing to these extremist groups, the authorities are condoning homophobic discrimination. Moreover the authorities are denying the Latvian LGBT community their basic rights of freedom of expression and assembly.
“Instead of banning the march, the Riga authorities should be denouncing those who are intent upon violence. Intolerance, discrimination and violence against homosexuals has no place in our 21st Century world.
“If politicians in Latvia want to continue enjoying the benefits that membership of the EU brings then they should abide by the rules. The iron curtain came down over a decade ago. People’s human rights can no longer be disregarded.”
Last year’s Riga Gay Pride march was violently attacked. This year, the homophobic opposition is better organised and poses an even greater threat to the safety of the marchers.
Amnesty International called on the Latvian authorities to observe human rights of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech.
Gay activists in Moscow were attacked last May after the Russian gay pride was banned and attendees of the Warsaw and Bucharest gay pride were threatened with violence. | <urn:uuid:c5d475d1-396f-4e38-ae66-812ef8300b19> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2006/07/21/london-mayor-criticises-latvias-attack-on-human-rights/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.951842 | 1,213 | 1.710938 | 2 |
If you’ve ever struggled to get good sleep, you’re certainly not alone.
It is estimated that about 68% of American’s struggle with sleep at least once per week, and about 1 in 3 American adults are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. Sadly, these numbers are on the rise.
Clearly, there is a need for intervention.
Since sleep is such a crucial component to health, taking steps to understand what may be causing this sleep crisis and understanding what you can do to help manage it is very important.
Read on to learn more about why sleep is so important, the negative consequences of not getting enough, and things you can do to help improve your sleep asap.
Why does sleep matter so much?
Sleep is a major component to good health, and is a time when your body and brain “resets” itself to be ready for the next day. Not getting enough sleep negatively impacts many things including attention span, reaction time, learning abilities, alertness, mood, hand-eye coordination, and even short-term memory. Being overly tired is also believed to be a cause of many accidents, car crashes, and more.
In addition, chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to having an increased risk of developing chronic diseases, having higher stress levels, increased inflammation in the body, higher blood pressure and blood sugar, weight gain, hormone imbalances, and more. It’s safe to say that sleep can be associated with just about every aspect of health, and for good reason.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that adults get at least 7 or more hours of sleep per night. Keep in mind that this is referring to high quality sleep, not sleep which is frequently interrupted or leaves you still feeling exhausted the next day.
What you can do to help improve your sleep
Being sleep deprived can make people understandably desperate to do whatever they can to get more shut-eye. Things like medications and high-tech devices are sometimes turned to as methods to help improve sleep. Yet while these things may help, they often do not address the underlying cause of why difficulty sleeping is happening in the first place. In addition, they may be costly, inconvenient, unsustainable, and have negative side effects.
Some of the reasons for poor sleep are understandably out of our control (things like a baby or small child, pets, living in a noisy area, having different work hours, etc). The good news is, though, that there is still much that IS in your control, such as the foods you eat, the supplements you take, and the routine you follow. So it’s important and worthwhile to focus on those!
What is Sleep Hygiene?
Sleep hygiene refers to the routine you follow before bedtime. Depending on what routine you follow, sleep hygiene can help set your body up for better sleep, or it can lead to difficulty sleeping.
Good sleep hygiene includes practices like:
- Going to bed around the same time each night & rising around the same time in the morning
- Turning off electronic devices at least 1 hour before bed
- Avoiding stimulating or stressful activities at least 1 hour before bed
- Keeping the bedroom cool, quiet, and dark (wearing an eye mask may help)
- Not engaging in non-sleep related tasks in the bed (social media scrolling, watching tv)
- Limiting caffeine intake and avoiding caffeine after about noon each day
- Limiting alcohol intake, which can interfere with sleep
- Limiting sugar intake within a few hours of bedtime, and instead, eating foods that help promote sleep (outlined below)
- Getting enough exercise, yet not too close to bedtime
Practicing at least a few (or all!) of these habits can significantly improve sleep quality and duration. Think about what areas might be most needed and practical for your lifestyle and try implementing one at a time.
Foods & supplements to help promote better sleep
In addition to having proper sleep hygiene, there are many nutrients and supplements that can also play a role in promoting good sleep.
- Tryptophan. This is an amino acid that plays a role in promoting healthy sleep. It is converted into a molecule called 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), which is used to make serotonin and melatonin, which are other things required for good sleep (discussed more below). You’ve probably associated tryptophan with feeling sleepy after eating a big turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. It is found in many other foods as well, primarily high protein foods.
- Good food sources include: Salmon, soy products, eggs, turkey, chicken, seeds, warm milk, and nuts. Try including more of these foods with dinner to help naturally boost tryptophan levels.
- Melatonin. This is probably the most well-known natural remedy for sleep issues and is most commonly taken in supplement form. What most people don’t realize, though, is that it can be consumed through food as well.
- Good food sources include: eggs, fish, whole wheat, barley, oats, tart cherries, grapes, pistachios, soy, beans, tomatoes, and peppers.
- Valerian Root. This is one of the most commonly used herbal supplements for sleep, and for good reason. Valerian can be taken in capsule, tea, powder, and tincture form, and taking between 300-900mg of valerian root may help with falling asleep faster and getting better quality sleep. Chamomile. This herb has been used for centuries to help fight off insomnia. Try drinking chamomile tea about an hour or so before bed.
- Magnesium. Magnesium is involved in over 300 systems in the body, including your ability to sleep well. It is estimated that up to half of Americans are deficient in magnesium, and increasing your intake may help improve much more than just sleep. Supplementing with magnesium in addition to increasing your intake from food can work wonders on health and sleep.
- Good food sources include: nuts, spinach, tofu, avocados, seeds, dark chocolate, and bananas. Try snacking on some almonds before bed or enjoying a banana topped with almond butter as a bedtime snack.
- GABA. This is a neurotransmitter that is produced in the brain and has been shown to support sleep. Helping your body produce more GABA, therefore, can help improve sleep quality. Try taking a GABA supplement in the evening, as well as increasing your intake of food sources of this neurotransmitter.
- Good food sources include: Whole grains (such as oats, wheat, and barley) Buckwheat, tomatoes, broccoli, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes.
- 5-HTP. This is an amino acid that helps produce serotonin and melatonin. Research has shown that combining 5-HTP with GABA can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep as well as increase sleep duration.
- Lavender. This herb has a soothing fragrance that is believed to promote sleep and a feeling of calmness (it can also be used to treat anxiety). Studies have shown that it acts as a mild sedative and can be used to treat mild sleep disturbances. Try diffusing lavender essential oil in the bedroom, rubbing it on the skin, soaking in bath water infused with lavender, and/or drinking lavender tea.
- L-Theanine. L-theanine is another amino acid positively associated with better sleep. Studies also support the use of GABA plus L-theanine for improving sleep quality.
Not getting enough sleep is a serious issue, and can be caused by a number of factors. While medications are an option to help promote better sleep, there are also a number of natural remedies that are worth giving a try. Practicing better sleep hygiene, eating certain foods, and taking the right supplements can all play a big role in promoting better sleep. There may always be some things you can’t control that can interfere with sleep, but we encourage focusing on what is in your control as the best starting point! | <urn:uuid:1c907f03-bfdc-4f36-ba4b-c3062047a224> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dev.cleanfoodcrush.com/sleep-better-naturally/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.949797 | 1,682 | 2.984375 | 3 |
When my daughter, Rachel, was around 3 years old, my parents took her to Toys “R” Us.
She was told that she could pick one thing out during the excursion. I should mention that she was the first grandchild for my parents and at the age of 3, she was still the only grandchild for them.
What happened? My daughter saw two “just adorable” baby dolls and asked for both. Being smart grandparents, they told her to pick just one. What did my daughter do? She picked out one doll and left the other one on the shelf, sort of. While placing the doll back, Rachel was heard telling the doll, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back for you later.” She was right. My parents, thinking the display was so cute, ended up buying both dolls.
Funny isn’t it. We create similar expectations in the workplace all the time. Many times, we believe that expectations are created through words (policies), but in reality, they are created or rather reinforced through actions.
My daughter knew with certainty that based on past behavior her grandparents were suckers, or rather so enamored with her they would do anything for their only grandchild. In the doll example, the consequences are fairly harmless. As I’ve been told, it is the job of grandparents to spoil their grandchildren and then give them back to their parents. Of course, if it was a parent instead of a grandparent, we would all say that the child would become spoiled and wouldn’t learn how to earn rewards.
Just as in the workplace, if we don’t set clear performance expectations up front and then communicate when our expectations are in and out of alignment, we end up with poor performance.

There are over a dozen Netflix errors out there that can trouble users while streaming their favorite shows or movies. But the most common is when it shows them the “Netflix Not Connecting to the Internet” error they have to fix to watch content. This is unsurprising with over 221.64 (Q1, 2022) million Netflix subscribers worldwide that require Internet access. Netflix is accessible via a web browser on computers and smartphones and has applications for major platforms, including Windows, Android, and iOS.
That means you can switch devices if you face significant issues while trying to enjoy your access to Netflix. However, if Netflix informs you that you are not connected to the internet, but you are, here is what you must do to resolve the problem.
1. Refresh your Internet connection
Sometimes, there is a brief interruption in the internet connection. The Netflix engine notices it and displays a “Netflix Not Connecting to the Internet” error you need to fix. If your internet connection is restored quickly, the notification disappears after a few seconds. However, Netflix can also be frozen and inform you that you do not have an internet connection. If so, you may be experiencing an issue with your DNS (Domain Name System) configuration on Android devices (not applicable to iOS devices).
Ensure that your internet connection is active and working. After that, check to see whether you can visit the web. Then, restart the program or refresh the tab to solve the problem effectively and without interruption. You can stream content afterward because Netflix will automatically recognize the strong and active internet connection you now have.
2. Check whether the network lets you access Netflix
If you are on a public network such as a college, school, or workplace, there is a chance that the network administrator has blocked Netflix. In such cases, you will have to connect to a different one to access the streaming service. Even on a private network, ensure that your internet access to Netflix isn’t blocked by a software firewall or router settings.
3. Check if your VPN is blocking Netflix
You must first understand that Netflix does not support a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and that you can’t use it if (an underwhelming) one is activated on your device. If you did, that may be the reason. To clarify, if you are trying to access Netflix from a different country using a VPN, the service has probably been geo-blocked by Netflix. In such cases, you will have to connect to another server or try other available VPN providers.
4. Update your web browser or mobile app for Netflix
Make sure you are using the latest version of your browser or the Netflix app, as an outdated version can also result in connection issues. To update your browser, go to Help → About Google Chrome (the procedure is similar to others) and follow the instructions. For the Netflix app, head over to Apple App Store (on iOS) or Google Play Store (on Android) and see if any upgrades are available.
5. Delete browser cookies and cache
If you have been facing the issue for a while now, the cookies and cache for Netflix might be corrupted. In such cases, you will have to delete them and start afresh. For deleting cookies on Chrome:
- Click on the three-dot icon in the top right corner.
- Go to Settings → Advanced → Clear browsing data.
- Select Cookies and other site data.
Alternatively, you can press CTRL + Shift + Del keys together. For deleting the cache, head over to the same path as above and select Cached images and files instead of following step 3.
6. Restart your device and reconnect to the network
If none of the above solutions works, restarting your device can also help resolve the issue. Turn off your computer or smartphone (Windows/macOS/Android/iPhone/iPad), then do the following:
- Unplug your modem and router from the power supply.
- Wait about 30 seconds.
- Now, plug in your modem again.
- Wait for about a minute.
- Next, plug in your router.
- Give it roughly another minute, boot your device, and launch Netflix again.
Remember that some modems and routers might take longer than usual to reconnect depending on the company and model.
7. Reset the Netflix mobile application
You can refresh any outdated Netflix information stored on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by resetting the app. Do note that any titles downloaded to the device will be lost if the program is reset. Now:
- Go to the Home screen and choose Settings.
- Swipe down to find the Netflix app and pick it.
- To reset Netflix, slide the Reset button to On.
- Note: If you don’t see the switch, proceed as stated below.
- Press the Home button to get to the home screen.
- Hit it twice and swipe right until you locate the Netflix app (launching a list of active apps differs based on the manufacturer and operating system).
- Swipe up to close your session.
- Press the Home button twice to return to the Home screen.
- Relaunch Netflix.
8. Restore to default connection settings
If you’ve altered your device’s connection settings, you’ll need to reset them to their factory defaults. The main settings include:
- Custom modem settings
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy service settings
- Custom DNS settings
If you’re unable to modify these settings, contact the equipment manufacturer. Then, try again with Netflix after you reset these settings to default values.
9. Check your Internet data caps
If you’re on a metered connection, keep an eye on your data usage. Netflix can use a significant amount of data, especially if you view the material in high definition. Your data caps may have been reached, and you won’t get enough coverage or amount for Netflix to work. Thus, depending on whether that’s the problem, you can request an extension on the plan.
10. Contact Netflix Customer Support
If the issue persists, you can reach out to Netflix Customer Service for further assistance. These were some ways to help fix the “Netflix Not Connecting to the Internet” error, and one is bound to work. | <urn:uuid:dd1a3536-96bc-48b2-a80d-96b9ff4e050b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.techquintal.com/fix-netflix-not-connecting-to-internet/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.89438 | 1,306 | 1.742188 | 2 |
Muslim Rohingya women who were held at human-trafficking camps in Thailand and Malaysia were subjected to gang rapes by their captors, assaults that left at least two of them pregnant, a Malaysian media report said.
Malaysia's state-run Bernama news agency quoted a Rohingya survivor of the camps, Nur Khaidha Abdul Shukur, as saying young women would be taken away nightly from the jungle post where she was held near Padang Besar in Thailand.
She passed through the camp last year, according to the report released late Monday.
"Every night, two or three young and pretty Rohingya women were taken out from the detention pens by the guards to a clandestine place," she was quoted saying.
"They would be gang raped by the guards. Two young women at the camp became pregnant after the gang rape."
The report also quoted her husband Nurul Amin Nobi Hussein saying he witnessed similar crimes taking place at nearby camps on the Malaysian side of the border.
The discovery last month of human-trafficking camps — and scores of nearby graves — first in Thailand and then over the border in Malaysia has caused shock and revulsion in Southeast Asia.
Seven camps were uncovered in Thailand beginning in early May and 33 bodies found in mass graves.
In late May, Malaysian police announced they had found 28 camps on their side of the border and 139 graves, which are still being exhumed.
The camps are believed to have been used by people-smuggling syndicates who move large numbers of impoverished Rohingya out of Myanmar, where they face systematic repression, with most heading for Malaysia.
Speaking from the northern Malaysian town of Alor Setarm, Nur Khaidha told Bernama that she entered the country illegally late last year after paying the smugglers to release her from the camp.
She said women sometimes were taken away by guards for several days to be used as sex slaves.
Her husband, who said he transited the Malaysian camps earlier in 2014, told Bernama the same occurred there.
"In the night, several of the guards would go to the pens housing the women and take them to a nearby place," he said.
"We heard the shrieks and cries of the women because the place they raped them was very close to our pens, but as the incidents were at night, we could not see what was happening."
AFP was not immediately able to confirm the claims with authorities.
Thai police have arrested nearly 50 people, including some local officials, since launching a crackdown in early May.
Malaysia has said 12 of its police officers are among those being investigated for possible involvement in the camps on its side.
The Thai crackdown threw the human flow into disarray, causing a humanitarian crisis by trapping thousands of starving migrants on boats at sea.
US Assistant Secretary of State Anne Richard, who is on a tour through the region to address the migrant issue, told reporters late Monday that she had met some women boat people now in Malaysia and many had endured harrowing experiences.
"It was very clear to me… they had gone through terrible, terrible experiences. They are not in good shape," she said. | <urn:uuid:40c79052-461a-41f8-aeab-d6ead8a6ecaf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.egyptindependent.com/report-rohingya-migrants-raped-thai-malaysia-border-camps/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.987286 | 647 | 1.664063 | 2 |
Free your phones from all the hassles with amazing mobile charging technology
Xiaomi has introduced the hassle-free technology of charging, cable and charging stands for mobile charging, which is the most unique and unique invention ever and consists of “beam farming”.
Leading technology company Xiaomi has chosen “winds” instead of chargers, cables or wireless stand-alone charges for mobile charging, for which it has developed an integrated mobile positioning and energy transmission system in the air called MI Air Charge. Is named and it works in the style of “beam farming”.
Xiaomi says the state-of-the-art technology system consists of five stages. Mobile phones have antennas to accurately detect the location of smartphones, while the 144 antennas in Beam Farming transmit direct millimeter-wide waves to smartphones that start charging mobiles. | <urn:uuid:5a10c926-7240-4cd3-adf6-607560ebd741> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thetechnologytruth.com/free-your-phones-from-all-the-hassles-with-amazing-mobile-charging-technology/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.930184 | 176 | 1.710938 | 2 |
The following is part of an argument on realism and the left. Read Matthew Specter’s “Realism’s Imperial Origins” here.
States, and the interests of states as defined by state establishments, are central to every variety of realism in international affairs. A concentration on state interests allows the leader or analyst to distinguish between what another country’s establishment sees as its secondary and vital interests—in other words, those interests on which it will be willing to compromise, and those on which it will never compromise, and for which in the last resort it is prepared to fight.
Understanding how another state’s establishment sees its country’s vital interests requires intense study, leading to empathy—something that the great realist thinker Hans Morgenthau declared to be a fundamental ethical duty of the statesman. This does not necessarily mean sympathy, either with the interests themselves or with how they are defended. It does, however, mean that a statesman possessing this capacity for empathy will only challenge the vital interests of another state, and thereby risk war, if they are confident of two things: first, that to do so is truly essential, politically and morally; and second, that this challenge has a reasonable probability of achieving its goal.
Realist ethics find their clearest expression in Max Weber’s distinction (in Politics as a Vocation) between an ethic of conviction or sentiment (Gesinnungsethik) and one of responsibility for consequences (Verantwortungsethik). Weber stated that the first might be appropriate to a private individual (like the sincere pacifist), but a public official or elected representative has a duty to consider the wider results of their actions: first and foremost for their own country, but also—as great realists like Morgenthau and Reinhold Niebuhr taught—for international peace and the general interest of humanity.
Realist considerations give us important insights with regard to Russia and Ukraine. Every U.S. official with a deep understanding of Russia (like former ambassadors George F. Kennan, Jack F. Matlock Jr., Thomas Pickering, and William J. Burns), and every intelligent U.S. realist (like John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt), has understood that, for the Russian establishment, preventing Ukraine from joining a hostile military alliance is a vital interest for which it might be prepared to go to war. Linked to this are two other issues of vital importance to Russia: holding onto the Russian naval base at Sevastopol and maintaining a key role for the Russian language in Ukraine.
To say this is not to justify Putin’s actions toward Ukraine. They have been grossly immoral, not to mention disastrous for Russia’s own interests. It is, however, to say that before embarking on the project of turning Ukraine into an ally, the U.S. establishment should have recognized that war was a very likely result.
One may make a legitimate comparison here with America’s Monroe Doctrine, which continues in a modified form to this day. Central American governments have a perfectly legitimate right to seek Chinese investment. If, however, they sought a military alliance with China, they—and the Chinese government—would have to do so in the full awareness that the United States would mobilize its resources and act with extreme ruthlessness to overthrow those governments and block that alliance, resulting in not only dreadful human suffering but the probable failure of the alliance project.
What would it look like if the U.S. establishment had been guided by a realist approach in the case of Ukraine? First, there would have been consideration of whether the United States was really prepared to fight to defend Ukraine. This goes back to the realist distinction between vital and secondary interests. Because Ukraine has never been a vital U.S. interest for which the United States is prepared to go to war with Russia, the proposal of NATO membership for Ukraine was always vacuous and politically and morally irresponsible.
Second, if the United States wanted to respond to the wishes of Ukrainians that their country develop in a Western direction, it also needed to respect the view (not only of Moscow but of many Ukrainians, at least until this war) that this should be combined with the maintenance of close and friendly relations with Russia. In other words, the offer of NATO membership should have been dropped in favor of economic and political reform, and trade agreements between the West and Ukraine should have been crafted in such a way as to permit the continuation of trade with Russia.
An ethical realist approach to the war today dictates a search for a peace settlement that would safeguard Ukrainian sovereignty, and its ability to move toward the West, while giving Russia enough in territorial terms to allow Putin to claim victory and end the war. For Ukraine to try to reconquer the areas that Russia has held since 2014 would mean endless war, with only very limited chances of success; while the United States is deeply unwilling to fight for Ukraine, an indefinite continuation of the war runs the serious risk of escalating an international conflict, with potentially catastrophic results for Ukraine, the United States, and humanity as a whole.
Nobody should pretend that these are easy issues to resolve, either politically or morally. But as Morgenthau once wrote, “We have no choice between power and the common good. To act successfully, that is according to the rules of the political art, is political wisdom. To know with despair that the political act is inevitably evil, and to act nonetheless, is moral courage. To choose among several expedient actions the least evil one is moral judgment.”

Embedded multicore processors running hard real-time applications such as engine control programs require an appropriate scheduling routine to meet the real-time deadline constraints. These applications typically consist of various conditional branches which change the flow of the program and the task executions based on sensors inputs and vehicle status information. Conventionally, dynamic on-line scheduling was the only option for such applications that have unpredictable runtime behaviors. However, techniques for compilers and schedulers allow static off-line scheduling to be applied to engine control programs by utilizing execution profile feedback methods to feed task execution time information to the compiler. This paper is the first to compare dynamic scheduling and static scheduling schemes through the OSCAR multi-grain automatic parallelizing compiler and its overheads on an actual engine control program using an embedded multicore processor implemented on an FPGA. Evaluations and analysis on the engine control program indicate promising results for static scheduling, recording a 2.53 × speedup on 4 cores compared to single core execution. In contrast, speedup on dynamic scheduling with 4 cores was only 0.86x compared to sequential execution. The evaluation shows that static scheduling with execution profile feedback methods is an effective tool for real hard-real time control applications that have task granularity that is too fine for dynamic scheduling on embedded multicore processors. | <urn:uuid:46461277-9c57-4a67-9b57-3f4d29edc03c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://waseda.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/performance-of-static-and-dynamic-task-scheduling-for-real-time-e | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.906535 | 262 | 1.835938 | 2 |

Description: The Anthony F. C. Wallace Papers are a vast collection of materials relating to Wallace's work at the intersection of anthropology, psychology, and history. Though further research might yield more results, approximately 44 folders and one box of materials directly pertaining to the Delaware (also known as Lenape and Munsee) have been identified. Most of these items pertain to Wallace's personal research interest in the Delaware--beginning during his graduate studies, which led to the publication of "King of the Delawares: Teedyuscung, Delaware chief, 1700-1763" (1949), a psychoanalytic ethnohistory based on his masters thesis--and to his work as an expert witness for Native American land claims in the 1950s. There is one box containing research notecards on primary and secondary sources in Series III. Notecards. There are eight folders of notes, drafts, and other materials on Teedyscung, religion and revitalization, women, land, political organization, and other topics in Series IV. Works by Wallace A. Professional. There are two folders on "The Forbidden Path: Teedyuscung's Embassy to the Western Indians in 1760" by William A. Hunter and John Witthoft in Series V. Works by Others. Series IX. Indian Claims contains dockets, articles, notes, tribal histories, reports, etc., relating to Wallace's work as an expert witness for Delaware land claims (and the related land claims of other groups, such as the "Ohio Tribes" and the Haudenosaunee). There are also two folders of materials on the Lenape by Wallace's student Marshall Joseph Becker in Series II. Research Notes and Drafts B. Revitalization and Culture, as well as a folder of correspondence with Becker in Series I. Correspondence. Other relevant correspondence files include those of the American National Biography, Carl Bridenbaugh, Dwight Lewis Chamberlain, Loren C.

Description: Letters from Moravian missionary, historian, and linguist John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder, mostly to Peter Stephen du Ponceau with one to Caspar Wistar. Some of the replies from Du Ponceau are copied in the letter books of the Historical and Literary Committee. Heckewelder most frequently wrote of the publications he was working on or revising, particularly his Account of the Indian nations (1819), Narrative (1820), Heckewelder (1821), a Mohican (Mohegan) vocabulary, remarks on a Swedish-Delaware vocabulary, etc., some of which were to be published or republished by the American Philosophical Society. Many letters thus revolve around the research, writing, and publishing processes, including Heckewelder's responses to du Ponceau's edits and suggestions; his own edits, additions, lists of errors, etc.; his concern that errors by the typesetter could bring criticism on linguistic portions; new information and discoveries, such as the finding of a Maqua (Haudenosaunee) manuscript in the Moravian Archives; negative reviews and criticisms of his work, like an objectionable review in the North American Review (1819), a review in the Westchester Village Record disputing the role of Delaware as women, and William Darby's disagreement about Heckewelder's account of the killing of Native people by Williamson and his men; more positive responses to his work, like an honorary membership in the Massachusetts Peace Society for his Account (1819); translation of his work into German and other languages; and his insistence that the American Philosophical Society imprimatur appear on the title page, because as a Moravian he could not publish anything on his own relating to the Society of the United Brethren. Heckewelder repeatedly touched on Native languages and matters of linguistics: among other things, he referred to the Native vocabularies he himself had collected; a Swedish-Delaware catechism and dispute over "r" or "l" sound; difficulties in hearing Indian languages properly; difficulties in writing Native American languages; comparisons between his own findings and linguistic materials and scholarship published by others (of whom he was often critical); several examples of Delaware or Lenape words, roots, paradigms, gender, usage, etc.; and comparions of Delaware to other Native languages like Ojibwe, Shawnee, Natick, and Narragansett. Heckewelder's letters reveal him to be well-read and immersed in a network of similarly-minded scholars trading information and forwarding books and articles. Specific works by others mentioned include the Steiner article in Columbian Magazine (September 1789); a Pickering-Du Ponceau Dencke's version of St. John's Epistles in Delaware; Zeisberger's Bible translation and Life of Christ; Poulson's paper relating Welsh to Powhatan (which Heckewelder deems incorrect on the basis that Powhatan was Delaware); Pickering's essay on a uniform Orthography and spelling; Eliot's Bible translation; a paper by Zeisberger on Delaware being made men again (#865) and Zeisberger's replies (#341) to 23 queries of Barton (#1636); Loskiel's history (Heckewelder notes general verification in Loskiel for specific incidents and believes that the absence of certain incidents in Loskiel's history is the result of missionary discretion); works by Barton (he criticizes Barton for seeking speedy answers to questions of Indian origins, and for thinking Delaware and Iroquois related); and various publications of the Historical and Literary Committee. Heckewelder also wrote about "Indian affairs" such as the Jefferson-Cresap dispute (over Logan speech and affair); Benton's resolution concerning the Christian Indians and Moravian land; the speech of a Delaware at Detroit, 1781; and Heckewelder's role in the Washington City Society for Civilizing the Indians. Ethnographic topics include Native American names, place names, childbirth, swimming, friendship, treatment of captives, derivation of "papoose," names of trees and rivers, and various anecdotes. Other individuals mentioned include Rev. Schulz, Butrick, Colonel Arent Schyler De Peyster, Captain Pipe, Vater, Hesse, Gambold, John Vaughan, Charles Thomson, Thomas Jefferson, Deborah Norris Logan, Mitchill, Daniel Drake, Abraham Steiner, Noah Webster du Ponceau's brother, etc. Heckewelder's letter to Wistar regarding the Naked Bear traditions was printed (except last paragraph) in the Transactions of the Historical and Literary Committee of the American Philosophical Society 1: 363.

Description: The Anthony F. C. Wallace Papers are a vast collection of materials relating to Wallace's work at the intersection of anthropology, psychology, and history, among other interests. Haudenosaunee materials include items relating to Wallace's particular interests in the Tuscarora and the Seneca, and can be difficult to disentangle from items organized by subject, such as personality, religion, and cultural revitalization. Researchers should therefore also see the Wallace Papers entries for the Tuscarora and Seneca, and consult the finding aid for a detailed discussion of Wallace's career and for an itemized list of the collection's contents. Materials explicitly linked to the Haudenosaunee can be found throughout Series I. Correspondence, especially in the correspondence with William N. Fenton, Merle H. Deardorff, Francis Jennings, Mina Brayley Smith, and Wallace's father, historian Paul A. W. Wallace. Other relevant correspondence files include those for Aren Akweks (Ray Fadden), the American Philosophical Society, Michael Ames, Edmund Snow Carpenter, Dwight Lewis, Chamberlain, Malcolm Collier, Charles Congdon, Jesse Cornplanter, Robert T. Coulter, Myrtle Crouse, Norma Cuthbert, Hazel Dean-John, Vine Deloria, Michael K. Foster, John F. Freeman, Joseph Chamberlain Furnas, Bob Gabor, Charles Garrad, C. Marshall Gorman, Randy Gorske, Barbara Graymont, Jeannette Henry, N. Perry Jemison, Francis Jennings, Randy Alan John, Gertrude Kurath, Weston La Barre, David Landry, Gardiner Lindzey, Floyd G. Lounsbury, Franklin O. Loveland, Charles Lucy, Nancy Lurie, Benjamin Malzberg, Henry Manley, Jane Ann McGettrick, Ernest Miller, Stephen Murray, Oscar Nephew, New York State Library, Niagara County Historical Society, Arthur Caswell Parker, Arthur Piepkorn, Richard Pilant, Susan Postal, V.

Rogow, Anne Marie Shimony, John Sikes, Florence Smith, Mrs. Douglas Snook, Patricia Snyder-Freeman, Frank Speck, George Dearborn Spindler, William Sturtevant, Elizabeth Tooker, Eula Tottingham, Allen W. Trelease, University of Pennsylvania Press, Shirley Vanatta, A. Jeanne Weissinger, C. A. Weslager, and Susan Williams. There is also a great deal on Haudenosaunee peoples in Series II. Research Notes and Drafts, particularly relating to Wallace's monographs on the Tuscarora and Seneca. Subseries A. Indian Research primarily contains Haudenosaunee-related materials, including notes and field notes from research trips to Iroquoia and to archives, copies of and extracts from primary and secondary sources, notes on what Wallace called his "Iroquois Research Project," field notes and materials compiled by Paul A. W. Wallace, etc. There is also some Haudenosaunee material in Subseries B. Revitalization and Culture, mostly in form of secondary sources, including "History of the St. Regis Reservation and several Iroquois pamphlets and drawings" by Mohawk Aren Akweks (aka). Series III. Notecards contains index cards with notes on primary and secondary sources on a range of topics, including Wallace's research interests in revitalization, culture and personality, and his work on Indian land claims, all of which touch on the Haudenosaunee. Several drafts of Wallace's work on the Haudenosaunee and other indigenous peoples can be found in Series IV. Works by Wallace A. Professional, along with fictional works in B. Creative Writing and C. Juvenilia of the same series. Series VI. Consulting and Committee Work A. American Anthropological Association contains two folders labeled "Iroquois Wampum," which contain materials relating to Onondaga demands for the return of wampum belts held by the New York State Museum. Wallace publicly supported the Haudenosaunee, in direct opposition to many scholars, including his friend William Fenton, who argued that the NYSM had saved and maintained the belts and should continue in that role. Correspondence, drafts of Wallace's statement, and other items reveal many factors at play: Vine Deloria, Jr.'s involvement; Haudenosaunee youth involved in the red power movement; inter-tribal divisions about the fate of the belts; scholarly disagreement about how best to serve both Native and non-Native members of the public; ideas about the roles of museums in preserving and protecting cultural materials; anxieties about the implications of Wallace's stance for ethnological museum collections in general; the legal dimensions of deaccessioning bequests; and more. [See Wallace's correspondence with Fenton and others in Series I. Correspondence for more on this issue.] Subseries C. Other Committees of the same series includes files on the Iroquois Conference 1946-1961. Series IX. Indian Claims contains over 50 folders of research materials, dockets, trial memoranda, etc., relating to Wallace's work as an expert witness for Haudenosaunee land claims. Series XI. Maps also contains materials pertaining to Haudenosaunee land claims, as well as to Wallace's personal research. Finally, Series XII. Graphics includes watercolor paintings by Ray Fadden's (Mohawk, aka Aren Akweks) son John (Mohawk, aka Ka-Hon-Hes), original drawings by Seneca Jesse Cornplanter and Tuscarora Nellie Gansworth, and photographs associated with Paul A.W. Wallace's fieldwork among the Indians of Pennsylvania, New York State, and Ontario as well as Anthony F.C. Wallace's research (1947-1985) on American Indians including several photographs of Tuscaroras, Senecas, a cradleboard, and pictographs. Additional material may be found in other places in the collections.

This unimpressive baby Pinus canariensis, eighteen inches tall, may someday tower eighty feet and and is only one of the twenty-five Canary Island seedlings we've just planted. Intermingled among them are another twenty-five potential giants: adolescent Sequoia sempervirens, Aptos Blue Coast Redwoods. We've spent a back-wrenching two weeks getting these trees into the ground on a precarious hillside, slick with duff, pocked by gopher holes, and strewn with the stumps of our first pine forest.
This was made up of graceful deep green Montereys, long since decimated by pitch pine canker. Sad to have to cut them down, not to mention a tremendous amount of work (buddies with chainsaws, Mike and I hauling slash to the dump for weeks), but the sick trees are finally gone, and the few survivors were spared because we didn't have the heart to clearcut that hill.
Mostly because we remember very well what it was like to plant those Monterey seedlings a quarter of a century ago. Our four kids, now in their thirties, married, with kids of their own, were very young back then. And we ourselves were newly-weds, still figuring out how people survived what was euphemistically called the "blended family." So we came up with group projects, meant to trigger enthusiasm for this new life none of the kids had freely chosen. Just think! we kept telling them as the six of us tucked those seedlings into that formidable hill: by the time you have kids of your own, these trees will be gigantic!
And indeed they grew fast and tall, filtering the sunlight, swaying in the wind, catching the precious California rain. They provided hundreds of cones for the gray squirrels, high perches for the red-tailed hawks and great horned owls and the lone great blue heron who came to fish the turtle pond. When the kids, one by one, got married on our property, the brides in their white silk gowns walked through that forest on the arms of their fathers. And when the grandchildren began to arrive, one of the first things they learned was how to negotiate the trail through the pines to get to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
So how could we not reforest? Does it matter that by the time these baby Canary Island pines reach their full height, Mike will be in his nineties? Does it matter that our kids will be senior citizens, our grandkids on their way to middle age, and the great blue heron but a feathery question mark--did we really have a heron? are we making this up?--from a quickly disappearing past?
In the old days, when most of us lived on the land and science had not yet revolutionized our modes of perception, we still understood that the world is alive with meaning and the heavens proclaim the glory of God. We knew without being instructed that the fragility and brevity of our lives require living touchstones, symbols of the eternity we cannot yet begin to fathom: the ageless seas, great, glacier-carved granite rocks, the endless sky, and towering trees. | <urn:uuid:af7c53d5-7fe4-4620-9073-337ff807fca8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://livingbytherules.blogspot.com/2011/04/reforesting.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968593 | 678 | 1.585938 | 2 |
US Department of Defense (DoD)
Rapid Development and Translational Research Award (RDTR)
The DoD FY20 CRRP Rapid Development and Translational Research Award program seeks to develop innovative solutions to increase medical readiness, mitigate fatalities, optimally treat life-threatening injuries, and promote positive long-term outcomes. While the CRRP focuses on capability gaps in frontline care, the program also considers how chronic disorders typically associated with pre-deployment readiness (e.g., sleep, gastrointestinal conditions) may influence the delivery of care in deployed environments and contribute to injury susceptibility and recovery.
Funding for the RDTR Award should be used for the research and development of one of the following Focus Areas:
- Multiple-use scalable wound-care solutions that can address prevention of bleeding and infection, delivery of therapeutics, and promotion of healing spanning the operational medical care continuum or roles of care (e.g., acute through chronic care).
- Repair and/or restoration of combat-related genitourinary organ and tissue damage.
- Solutions for assessment of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in deployed and far-forward settings, to include portable devices.
- Freeze-dried plasma and platelets for hemorrhage control and resuscitation.
- Solutions to enhance Warfighter readiness in battlefield and austere environments including the prevention and treatment of the following:
- Gastrointestinal illness such as Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrheal disease and inflammatory bowel disease
- Sleep disorders DoD FY20 CRRP Rapid Development and Translational Research Award 6
- Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
- Infectious diseases
- Enhanced delivery and utilization of telemedicine platforms.

Are you frustrated by how your dog acts? If that’s the case, your dog might need more training. Getting into training will make your dog much more obedient. Read this article for valuable advice on how to train your dog.
As with anything, reinforce the good behaviors from your dog. Make sure that you have treats handy, or just use lots of praise for actions that are good. This will teach your dog to try and get a treat, or your praise and reinforce to them that what they just did was something you want them to keep doing.
Listening to your dog is one of the most important steps of training your dog. If your dog is uncomfortable or scared, then you aren’t going to get the result that you are looking for. Respect their needs and the process will go a lot smoother.
When giving commands to your dog, do not repeat the command over and over before getting a response. By giving the command one time and waiting for the dog to respond, you will teach him that you are expectant of a behavior. If the command is not obeyed at first, show your pet what you expect before saying the command again.
Always end a training session with your dog on a positive note, even if you have to manipulate the scenario to make your dog successful. Ending a training session immediately after a disciplinary action will mean that your dog will remember the session as being about punishment, not about training.
“Leave it” is a command that should be taught and reinforced early on. “Leave it” can prevent furniture chewing, save valuable objects from being destroyed and save your dog from consuming dangerous and/or poisonous substances.
To ensure that your dog maintains good behavior, you must continue his training throughout his life. Your dog isn’t completely trained once he stops being a puppy. By reinforcing good behavior, dog’s will become well-behaved.
To house train your dog, you should establish a regular schedule for their meals. Take away their water at night. If your dog eats on schedule, you should be able to tell when it need to go outside. If you feed your dog right before you go to bed, chances are you will not be able to take it outside on time.
If your dog is running away from you, don’t try to chase him. Instead, call him by name and give a command, such as “come.” Your pet views chasing as a game and thinks you want to play along. The exception to this tip would be if your dog is about to enter a dangerous situation and has not responded to your commands.
To train your dog to stop begging for human food, you should completely ignore him when you are eating. If you pay attention to him, he will think he has a chance of getting your food, and therefore he will never stop begging. If you ignore him during your mealtime, he will soon learn that begging is pointless and stop.
Your dog will need a diet high in nutrition to maintain his vitality and health. This means that you should be picky about what you feed your dog. Making your own dog food can help to reduce fillers that do nothing for your pet, while increasing the crude protein to a healthy and more beneficial level.
Make sure not to accidentally reward a dog for bad behavior. For example, if you let your dog into the yard when he barks, you’re rewarding him by letting him outside for doing something you’d rather he didn’t. Instead make sure only to let the dog outside when he quietly waits by the door, reinforcing good behavior.
To prevent accidents from occurring in your home, learn the cues that your dog shows. Dogs will behave in a certain way when they start to ‘feel the need’. When you learn to recognize this behavior pattern and take him outside right away, you will teach him the right way to behave. Being in tune with your dog’s natural tendencies makes house training easier on both of you.
Taking time to train dogs properly can let you have more time for fun together. It often feels as though your puppy will never learn, but results come quickly. You will be successful at training your dog when using this advice. | <urn:uuid:539cd3f7-b078-4e65-ac21-cd38b144846f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.adventuredogblog.com/train-any-dog-with-these-great-hints.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.970315 | 875 | 2.34375 | 2 |
Difficulties in processing ASTM A182 F51 duplex stainless steel
Yaang has undertaken the trial production of a fluid rotary head installed in tens of meters deep sea water under the sea. When the fluid rotating head works, it should meet the requirements of no leakage inside and outside, strong corrosion resistance, and be able to adapt to a variety of fluid components and high flow rate. The socket weld flange of one of its components is shown in Fig. 1.
Non standard socket weld flange material is ASTM A182 F51. For this kind of difficult to machine material, the surface roughness value should reach Ra=0.2 μm, and the dimensional accuracy should reach IT5 level, which was first encountered by our company. Yaang’s technical personnel and master workers worked together to deeply and carefully analyze the processing difficulties of the material and the part design drawing, carried out a number of technical breakthroughs in the key processes, and finally successfully processed the products meeting the requirements of the drawings and delivered them on time. Now the processing difficulties are summarized as follows, for your reference.

ASTM A182 F51 is austenite + ferrite duplex stainless steel according to American ASTM standard. Its mechanical properties are: minimum tensile strength 620MPa, minimum yield strength (0.2% residual deformation) 450MPa, minimum elongation 25%, minimum reduction of area 45%, minimum average impact energy 45j. Its machinability is the worst among stainless steels. Taking the machinability of 45# steel as 100%, the relative machinability of austenite + ferrite duplex stainless steel is less than 40%.
The material has the following characteristics in the cutting process
When the plastic deformation is serious, the lattice of the material is distorted, and the strengthening coefficient is large; and the austenite is not stable enough, part of austenite will transform into martensite under the action of cutting stress; in addition, compound impurities are easy to decompose into dispersion distribution under the effect of cutting heat, which makes the cutting process produce hardening layer; the depth of hardened layer can reach 1/3 or more of the cutting depth, and the hardened layer is hard 4 ~ 2.2 times higher than the original. The work hardening phenomenon caused by the previous feeding or the previous working procedure seriously affects the smooth progress of the subsequent process.
Large cutting force
The material has large plastic deformation in the cutting process, and its elongation is more than 1.5 times of 45# steel, which increases the cutting force. At the same time, the work hardening is serious, the thermal strength is high, the cutting resistance is increased step by step, and the chip curling and breaking are difficult. Therefore, the cutting force of the material is large.
High cutting temperature
In addition, the thermal conductivity of the material is about 1/4 ~ 1/2 of that of 45# steel, and a large amount of cutting heat is concentrated on the cutting zone and the interface between the tool and chip, resulting in poor heat dissipation. Under the same conditions, the cutting temperature of the material is about 200 ℃ higher than that of 45# steel.
The chip is not easy to break and bond
The plasticity and toughness of the material are very large. The continuous cutting during turning not only affects the smooth operation, but also damages the added t surface. Under high temperature and high pressure, the material has strong affinity with other metals, which is easy to cause adhesion and form chip accretion, which not only aggravates the tool wear, but also causes tearing phenomenon, which worsens the machined surface.
The tool is easy to wear
In the process of cutting the material, the affinity between the tool and the chip will produce adhesion and diffusion, which will cause the tool to produce crescent shaped craters on the front face of the tool, and the cutting edge will also form tiny spalling and notches. In addition, the hardness of carbide particles (such as tic) in the material is very high, so it can directly contact and rub with the tool, scratch the tool, and add the following Hardening phenomenon will aggravate tool wear.
Large coefficient of linear expansion
The linear expansion coefficient of stainless steel is about 1.5 times of that of carbon steel. Under the action of cutting temperature, the workpiece is easy to produce thermal deformation, and the dimensional accuracy is difficult to control.
Analysis of machining difficulties in part design drawings
As shown in Figure 1, the bottom surface roughness value of the non-standard socket weld flange with fluid rotating head relative to the inner ring is required to be Ra=0.2 μm, the diameter is 200 mm, and the dimensional tolerance grade is IT5. Other dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerance accuracy are also very strict. The roughness requirement of Ra=0.2 μm is also rare for general carbon steel (Ra=0.8 μm is more commonly used). Moreover, it can be seen from the above that the material is the most difficult to process in stainless steel. During the trial cutting, it is found that the thickness of hardened layer and the large cutting force can easily lead to tool breaking; the chip is not easy to break and the cutting temperature is high, which leads to the sticking of the tool and aggravates the tool wear and scratch the machined surface. The difficult machining characteristic of the material determines that the traditional cutting method and cutting tool can not be used to process general materials, especially for the roughness of Ra=0.2 μm and the requirements of high-precision dimension, shape and position tolerance. Therefore, the process arrangement of machining process and the selection of tool material, tool geometric parameters and cutting tools become the key.
Solutions to processing difficulties
Working procedure of machining process
Arrangement → blank pretreatment → rough turning → ultrasonic flaw detection → boring → heat treatment (solution treatment and quenching) → rough turning → failure → semi finishing turning → boring → semi finishing turning → finishing turning → penetrant testing → three-dimensional and roughness testing.
The traditional machining method should use grinding or ultrasonic vibration cutting machine to achieve the roughness requirement of Ra=0.2 μm, but there is no grinding in the process arrangement, only turning. Because through our repeated experiments, the surface roughness value of CNC grinding machine can reach Ra=0.8 μm, and the surface roughness value processed by ultrasonic vibration cutting machine can reach Ra=0.3 μm. We use the MAG CNC turning and milling center machine tool (the diameter of the rotary table is 2m, the load of the worktable is 15t, the height of the z-axis is 2m, and the one-way movement distance of the x-axis is 1600mm). With the turning method, the surface roughness value reaches Ra=0.2 μm.
In the process arrangement, the principle of separation of rough machining and finish machining is followed. After rough machining and before finishing process, aging treatment is carried out to fully release the clamping force and cutting force acting on the workpiece. The final finish machining is carried out after the deformation of the workpiece is stable, so as to prevent the size error and shape error caused by the transition of rough machining deformation to finishing I sequence.
Selection of tool material
The selection of suitable tool material is the basis of machining high precision parts. The dual phase stainless steel ASTM A182 F51 is difficult to machine, which requires that the tool material should have good heat resistance, high wear resistance and little affinity with the processed material. At present, high speed steel and cemented carbide are commonly used as cutting tool materials. It is concluded that cemented carbide is more suitable for machining this material. We choose coated cemented carbide material, the substrate is ultra-fine grain non alloy material with good strength and toughness, and the coating is wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant AlTiN material.
Selection of tool geometry parameters
Rake angle: according to the difficult machining characteristics of the material mentioned above, on the premise of ensuring sufficient strength of the cutter, the larger rake angle of 15 ° to 25 ° is selected, which can not only reduce the plastic deformation of the metal to be cut, but also reduce the cutting force and cutting temperature, and reduce the depth of hardened layer.
Back angle: increasing the rake angle can reduce the friction between the flank and the machined surface, but it will reduce the strength and heat dissipation of the cutting edge. The reasonable value of the back angle depends on the cutting thickness. When the cutting thickness is small, the larger back angle should be selected. We take 10 ° to 20 ° for finish machining or 6 ° to 10 ° for rough machining.
Main deflection angle and secondary deflection angle: reducing the main deflection angle can increase the working length of the cutting edge, which is conducive to heat dissipation. However, the radial force increases during the cutting process, which is easy to generate vibration. The main deflection angle is 45 ° to 75 ° and can be appropriately increased if the rigidity of the machine tool is insufficient. The secondary deflection angle is 8 ° to 15 °. In order to enhance the strength of tool tip, 0.5 ~ 1.0 mm tool tip arc should be grinded.
Edge angle: in order to enhance the strength of the tool tip, the inclination angle is – 8 ° – 3 ° and – 15 ° to – 5 ° for intermittent cutting.
Another important point is the use of peripheral grinding blade. By grinding the edge and shape of both sides of the blade, the tool can cut under the action of large shear force, which can reduce the friction force which increases the cutting force and cutting temperature. The cutting edge after peripheral grinding can retain a 0.0005in wide cutting edge, which is 1/5 ~ 1/3 of the cutting edge width of the ordinary only pressed blade. The ideal surface roughness of parts can be processed with this kind of blade.
Selection of cutting parameters
After the cutter material and geometric parameters are determined, the selection of cutting parameters plays a decisive role in the product processing quality, production efficiency and tool life. For this material, the medium and low speed 50 ~ 80m/min cutting should be adopted. Our final choice of cutting parameters is as follows.
- Semi finish turning: cutting speed 50 m/min, feed rate 0.3 mm/r, back feed 0.3 mm;
- Finish turning: cutting speed 80 m/min, feed rate 0.1 mm/r, back feed 0.1 mm, multiple processing to remove the surface hardening layer;
- Superfinishing turning: cutting speed 80m/min, feed rate 0.05mm/r, back feed 0.1mm.
Material of nonstandard socket weld flange: ASTM A182 F51 has the worst cutting performance in stainless steel. It has the characteristics of severe work hardening, large cutting force, high cutting heat, low thermal conductivity, easy to stick and wear tools, and has high precision requirements. However, through our in-depth research, innovative test and hard research, we have finally processed the parts which are fully qualified by the CMM and roughness meter and delivered on schedule, which is very satisfactory to users.

Which MS-DOS Version Should I Boot to Run MS-DOS Setup? (77984)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0a
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q77984
When upgrading to MS-DOS 5.0 or later on a hard drive, the Microsoft MS-DOS
Upgrade SETUP.EXE program should be run in the version of MS-DOS that is
currently installed on the machine. Booting the machine with another
version of MS-DOS may cause improper access of the hard drive, leading to
file corruption. Additionally, SETUP may make incorrect assumptions about
which OEM-modified utilities to preserve.
If you are reinstalling MS-DOS 5 or later, you do not need to reinstall
your previous MS-DOS version before running SETUP.
If the hard drive has MS-DOS 2.1 or earlier installed, contact your OEM
(original equipment manufacturer) as to the availability of a version of
their MS-DOS 5.0 or later for your machine. If you have version 2.11 or
later, you can boot with this version and install MS-DOS 5.0 or later to
floppy disks using the SETUP /F command. MS-DOS 5.0 or later can then be
installed manually from this working set of disks. However, this may
require reformatting the hard disk, depending on the partition structure
currently in use.
If installing MS-DOS version 5.0 or later (not MS-DOS Upgrade), boot from
disk 1 to install MS-DOS. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version
of MS-DOS has a different Setup program that requires MS-DOS to be booted
before installing it.

Skills, charge attacks, and summons can have effects on party members and foes. These include buff effects, which strengthen, and debuff effects, which weaken. Some effects count as both buffs and debuffs. Effects end after enough turns or time pass, or they're cancelled by a character's skill.
Buffs and debuffs that are the exact same effect will typically replace or overwrite each other. When using Fighter's Rage I and Warrior's Rage II at the same time, Rage II will overwrite an existing Rage I, but Rage I will have no effect on an existing Rage II. Using Rage II again will simply overwrite the old Rage II effect. However, some skills are what is colloquially known a "dual skill," which cause effects that stack with other non-dual (single) effects. The best example of this is Dark Fencer's Miserable Mist, which stacks with Sidewinder's Rain of Arrows III, causing enemies to reach the maximum Attack Lowered value of -50%.
Buffs and debuffs with "(stackable)" in the name will increase in effect every time they are applied as the name implies, up to a certain limit, while also returning to the original duration, if applicable. Bounty works the same way, although it also becomes harder to add more stacks the higher it already is.
The duration of most status effects is either expressed in battle turns or seconds of real time. For the most part, effects on the player's party have a turn-based duration while effects on enemies are time-based. Exceptions to the latter usually have an icon with a number displaying the remaining number of turns and tend to be what's often called a "local" effect.
- For example , , and .
- No known cap.
- Special Buffs
- Certain status effects are classified as "special buffs", which are indicated by their skill descriptions in-game, and the status infobox in the wiki.
- Most special buffs have an icon unique to a specific character and their character versions, such as Korwa's .
- However, not all buffs with unique icons are special buffs, such as Anila's which is a regular buff.
- Special buffs can be active at the same time as regular buffs, applying normal stacking rules (e.g. additive for normal modifier ATK buffs).
- Special buffs can be active at the same time as other special buffs, but only the stats with the highest value will apply.
- For example , , and .
- Dual and Single
- Used to indicated whether (de)buffs sourced from character skills stack with each other.
- This terminology was used due to skills that buff/debuff one attribute (Single), were able to stack with skills that buff/debuff two attributes (Dual).
- While this is frequently the case, many exceptions exist now and these terms are currently only used to indicate stacking possibilities.
- Refers to the source of an effect. Most common sources are Skill, Support Skill, C.A, Summon Call, Summon Aura. Source often, but not always, plays a role in effect stacking.
- Skill refers to Main Character's and other allies' skills.
- Support Skill refers to a character's passive ability.
- C.A. refers to Charge Attack of characters or weapons.
- Summon Call refers to effects taking place after summon has been summoned.
- Summon Aura refers to passive effects granted by a summon.
- Used to explain how effects stacks with each other.
- Generally, only one effect of the same side can be active at a time. Stronger effects overwrite weaker ones and if you try to apply a weaker effect, while a stronger one is active, you'll get a "NO EFFECT" message.
- Equally strong effects of the same stacking side will overwrite each other and the duration will be overwritten too (not extended).
- Refers to enemy buffs and debuffs that are exclusive to a player's fight such as Ultimate Bahamut's or Grea's .
- Local effects are signified by having a diamond-shaped status icon rather than a circle shape.
- Unlike other buffs and debuffs, Local effects can only ever have turn-based durations.
- If a local status effect is overwritten on a foe, the duration is also overwritten regardless of what the previous duration was.
- Half Turns
- Some buffs or debuffs on this wiki may have a listed duration of x.5 Turns.
- These are applied during the attack phaseThe phase that is immediately after pressing the Attack button of a turn and only affect allies and/or enemies who perform their attack after gaining the effect.
- Refresh and turn-based damage applied during the attack phase which have their effect on the turn transition are also labeled as x.5 Turns.
- For example, a status with the duration of 1.5 turns is technically 2 turns in the game, but this initial duration cannot be normally seen by players. Status durations still count down by 1 at the end of the turn even when applied during the attack phase.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Surgery in Turkey
Rhinoplasty or Nose Surgery is a surgical procedure to change or correct the shape of the nose. Rhinoplasty or nose job is the shaping of the nose, whose origin is rhinion in Latin.
Dissatisfaction with the shape and appearance of the nose due to its natural state or subsequent defects is corrected by rhinoplasty surgery.
Shape change in accordance with the characteristic features of the face occurs by restructuring the anatomical (cartilage, bone and soft tissue) structures of the nose with surgical techniques.
Rhinoplasty is a medical art that blends anatomy, physiology and living tissue knowledge with aesthetic vision.
The nose, which is an important component of the facial appearance with its external structure, is also an indispensable respiratory organ with its internal structure and function.
In the treatment of septum irregularity (septum deviation), which is the most common cause of nasal congestion, septum surgery and complementary procedures are applied together.
Natural nasal breathing, that is, the normal function of the nose is ensured.
The nose can change shape over time, as the age progresses, it grows, sags and the skin becomes thicker.
The most affected area as a result of facial trauma is the nose. Nasal congestion develops as a result of collapse, fracture and slippage in bone and cartilage structure as well as deformities.Often, rhinoplasty is performed with the desire to correct or change the shape of the nose. While the purpose is aesthetic, the function must be preserved and not impaired.
What is septorinoplasty?
It is a surgical procedure in which the shape of the nose is changed by correcting the irregular cartilage-bone structures that prevent the air flow in the nose.
In other words, it is both internal and external surgery of the nose.
The need for septorhinoplasty arises with the correction of nasal function for health and visual change for aesthetic concern.
If, in addition to the complaint of nasal congestion, there is a desire to correct the shape of the nose, the internal and external problems of the nose are eliminated with rhinoplasty at the same time. We call these operations septorhinoplasty.
Why is nose breathing important?
The nose, besides being an organ that creates the meaning and image of the face, has an important function.
Nasal breathing is breathing.Healthy breathing starts with normal nasal breathing, it is necessary for smelling, maintaining the characteristic sound quality and the continuation of many bodily functions.
The main function of the upper airway, which starts with the nostrils and nasal cavity, is to provide air passage by providing a certain resistance.
The inhaled air is heated, humidified and filtered. The ideal content of air is delivered to the lungs.
Regular and correct breathing – which starts with a working nose – is indispensable for physical health and quality of life, as well as during daily life activities and vigorous movements.
What are the risks of Nose surgery?
Bleeding, infection and anesthesia effects, which are the general risks of surgical procedures, are also possible in rhinoplasty.
Apart from these: nasal congestion, crusting, dryness, decreased sensation on the skin, hardness, color change, swelling, pain, scar formation and unnatural results may occur.
During the preoperative preparation period, rhinoplasty candidates are informed about the possible risks by the surgeon.
Where should I have my nose surgery in Turkey?
Should this surgery be performed by an ear, nose, throat specialist or plastic surgeon?
Nose aesthetic surgery is an operation of the facial aesthetics (Facial Plastic) branch. Otorhinolaryngology specialists make up 60% of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery members.
An otolaryngologist is a head and neck surgeon.
The only branch that has nose surgery in its basic education is ENT specialization.
Facial plastic surgery, as a sub-branch of ENT specialty, is rapidly spreading all over the world.
An ENT specialist dealing with facial plastic surgery will ideally solve this question. However, you will still make the right decision about choosing your doctor.
What is done before rhinoplasty?
Before the operation, two interviews are conducted with the patient (we use the term patient because he is a surgical candidate) who applied with the complaint of dissatisfaction with the shape of his nose.
In the first meeting,
A comprehensive nasal examination (endoscopic and physical examination) was performed.
It is spoken to understand what the patient does not like in his nose, how he wants it to be, and how willing he is.
Many of our patients, like many people who are considering rhinoplasty surgery, come with previous knowledge from various internet sites or printed sources.
However, since it is an operation that should be personalized to the individual, and also considering the differences in approach and technique, information is given about the size and process of the operation.
As before every surgical procedure, general health status evaluation and medical history inquiry are made.
Photo shoot is done.
Photo examination has an important place in the evaluation before rhinoplasty. In the computer aided photo study, an idea can be formed about how the patient’s new nose looks on his face after rhinoplasty.
Thanks to the photographic study, the surgeon obtains information about the wishes and dislikes of the rhinoplasty candidate and the perception of changes in his face.
For a realistic, natural nose that will live in harmony with the face for life, the desire of the rhinoplasty candidate and what the surgeon can do should be fully compatible.
However, it should be noted that this work is done in a graphical software environment, does not promise a guarantee.
Rhinoplasty is a living tissue surgery formed by skin-cartilage-bone structures.
Tissue adaptation and healing is a dynamic process and the surgeon observes this process while applying the techniques.
In the second meeting,
Information is given on the photographic work. After the first meeting, questions that come to mind are answered.
In this interview, it is tried to understand how willing the person is before rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty, and he is asked to make a final decision without any question marks in his mind.
After the questions are answered and the examination and analysis are completed, the date of the operation is determined.
The operation is mostly performed under general anesthesia in a fully equipped hospital.
On the day of the operation, routine blood tests and anesthesia examination are performed and the patient is taken to the operating room in a safe condition.
What is done in rhinoplasty surgery?
In the past, the popular approach to almost every nose was reduction surgery by chipping, carving and incision.
Except for very large and protruding noses, the nose should be shaped by preserving the bone-cartilage structures, and there should not be a nose that contradicts the facial expression of the person.
Today, rhinoplasty is performed with in situ shaping and anatomical rearrangement techniques with cartilage attachments, instead of removing structural elements (cartilage-bone) or disrupting their integrity.
Nasal ridge: protrusions are corrected, width is narrowed, symmetry is provided, if narrow is widened, depression is supported, subcutaneous irregularities are eliminated, subcutaneous support is supported.
The tip of the nose is narrowed, symmetry is provided, arranged, lifted, if it is too upturned, it is pulled back to normal, the nostrils are reduced, the nose wings are supported.
Curved nose: asymmetrical structures are reconstructed, the lack of support is replaced, camouflage provides symmetry.
Intranasal: strictures are opened functionally, structures that narrow the air passage are corrected, tissue deficiencies are replaced.
Rhinoplasty surgery normally takes 2-3 hours.
The operation is terminated with tape and splint application on the back of the nose. Nose pads are not used except in very special situations.
Over the years, rhinoplasty techniques have also changed in parallel with the development of the understanding of creating a natural-looking nose that is compatible with the person’s face and mimic character.
This situation increases patient satisfaction gradually with better results.
Cold application is made between the first 4-6 hours after the operation.
Today, the pain, swelling and bruising that patients complain about the most in the post-rhinoplasty period has almost disappeared.
Discoloration of the skin around the eyes 2.-3. days though, it disappears in a week.
The splint on the back of the nose is removed after 7 days. Depending on the skin feature, tape can be applied for 1 week afterwards.
Postoperative early edema period lasts 6-8 weeks. It takes about a year for full recovery and the appearance of the final state.
Follow-up examinations after rhinoplasty are done at the 3rd, 6th and 12th months.
Our long-term follow-up continues with annual controls and photographs.
What is revision rhinoplasty?
After undergoing a rhinoplasty operation, expectations may not be met, an undesirable appearance or differentiation may have developed over time. In these cases, we call revision rhinoplasty the rhinoplasty operation(s) performed to eliminate a permanent structural or aesthetic problem that developed after a previous rhinoplasty operation.
The need for revision after rhinoplasty operations may be required in 3-15% of cases, even by the most experienced surgeons.
Revision can be very limited contour or position corrections, or it can be a comprehensive surgery for serious structural problems.
In cases of significant tissue-support loss, more complex techniques and experience are required than a nose that has not been operated before. In revision cases, severe nasal breathing difficulties may accompany, apart from the appearance problem.
In revision rhinoplasty, aesthetic adjustment should be made on the basis of nasal function repair.
Living tissue is not a structure that can remain stable in nature like metal or stone. With surgical intervention (incision, suture, tissue insertion, repositioning, etc.), a responding, adapting and changing process is experienced during the recovery period.
In the long term, tissue change continues.
For this reason, surgical techniques are applied in every rhinoplasty, especially in revision rhinoplasty, without compromising the natural appearance principle, by considering the response of time and tissue. | <urn:uuid:dc5b5400-eff5-4316-a75d-cdeca76dabb9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.clinmedica.com/rhinoplasty-nose-surgery-turkey/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.946175 | 2,203 | 2.6875 | 3 |

Study of Physical, Chemical Characteristics and Classification of Soils in Torit County, Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan
Pio Kur Deng* and Philip Wani Marchelo-d’Ragga
Accepted 24th June, 2020.
This study was conducted to objectively determine the physical and chemical characteristics of soils and their classification from farmer field sites in Torit County, Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan. A total of 16 farmer field sites were randomly chosen for collection and the soil samples were taken at the top soil surface 20cm depth. The collected soil samples were analyzed for particle size distribution, pH, organic matter, electrical conductivity, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+ from saturation extract. The exchangeable cations like Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ by neutral ammonium acetate extract, cation exchange capacity, in addition, ESP were also determined. Physical and chemical properties were analyzed according to standard procedures. Results showed that the textural classes were sandy loam, and sandy clay loam. Soil pH was generally, slightly acidic, natural and slightly alkaline in nature (Mean = 6.73), low and medium in CEC and medium in organic matter, high Mg and K contents. The available Phosphorus at the study sites was low in almost all soil samples. The results of classification the soil base on degree of alkalinity (ESP), degree of salinity (EC) and pH indicate that all samples from the sites were normal. Therefore, there is an urgent need to focus attention on the maintaining soil fertility. Frequent awareness and training programs for farmers should be undertaken to enable them to know the chemical composition and quality of soils for sustainable crop production in the studied soils and application of organic matter to improve the overall fertility of the soil.

A fluoride treatment is done as part of a preventive care visit at Poulos & Somers if your dentist deems it to be necessary. This is a very simple, non-invasive treatment. Your Denver dentist will “paint” a fluoride-rich varnish on your teeth.
This varnish is left in place for about 5 minutes, then you’ll rinse your mouth and spit to remove most of the fluoride. However, a lot of fluoride will remain on your teeth, and it will attract helpful minerals to your tooth enamel.
This strengthens the enamel and can even help reverse the effects of minor tooth decay known as “soft spots.” Because of this, fluoride treatments are highly recommended for patients who have a history of multiple cavities.
Whether it’s in a fluoride treatment, the tap water you drink, or in toothpaste or mouthwash, fluoride works the same way. This chemical helps attract minerals to your tooth enamel, which strengthens it and keeps your teeth strong.
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body, but it is also one of the only parts of your body that can’t regenerate on its own. This is where fluoride comes in. It attracts the minerals that your enamel needs to stay strong, like calcium and phosphates.
This can help you fight back against oral acid that may cause tooth decay, and keeps your teeth strong. Fluoride is a very beneficial chemical, so make sure you use a toothpaste in your day-to-day routine that includes fluoride as an active ingredient.
This is completely dependent on your own oral health, how well you care for your teeth at home, and your risk of cavities. Most adult patients get fluoride treatments every 6 months, since they can be delivered as part of a standard teeth cleaning and oral exam.
However, your dentist at Poulos & Somers may recommend that you get fluoride treatments every 3 months or 12 months, depending on your own unique situation. As time goes on, they may reassess your situation and alter your treatment schedule. Contact us for an appointment now if you believe you could benefit from fluoride treatments in Denver.
You should not brush your teeth or eat or drink anything for 30-60 minutes after your fluoride treatment at Poulos & Somers in Denver. This ensures the fluoride varnish has the maximum effect on your teeth. After an hour, you can go back to eating and brushing normally.
Getting fluoride treatment does not affect the recommended steps for at-home oral care, and this includes brushing your teeth. You should brush once in the morning and once at night, and clean the surface of every tooth thoroughly. It should take you at least 2 minutes to brush your teeth.
If you have a history of cavities, it may even be preferable to brush three times a day. Once in the morning, once after lunch, and once after you eat your final meal of the day. This may help further reduce your risk of cavities. | <urn:uuid:76e159df-242c-4701-a55f-791c0048ab74> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.poulosandsomers.com/works/fluoride-treatment | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.947259 | 617 | 2 | 2 |
What do you think of when someone mentions the internet of things (IoT)? A lot of us have been conditioned to think of things like smart refrigerators that can remind us that we need to run to the store and grab a gallon of milk. Yet the IoT is capable of so much more. Marry it with the right kinds of sensors and it can do amazing things.
The benefits of marrying sensors with the IoT is not lost on city planners. In cities all across the country, new sensor technology is being combined with the IoT to make residents safer and governments more efficient. The two technologies have the capability of completely transforming how cities operate.
More About Sensors
The main thing for decision makers is understanding the vast sea of possibilities with sensor technology. Companies like Rock West Solutions are doing their part by educating city leaders about what sensors really are. The hardest thing is sometimes getting decision makers to understand that a sensor is not a single kind of device.
A sensor is any device capable of measuring some sort of signal and then reporting said measurements. The device in your car that measures how much fuel is in your tank is a simple sensor. So is the device that automatically turns on your driveway lights when you pull in at the end of the day.
Modern sensor technology is so exciting because we now have the ability to measure so many more things. And again, having the ability to marry sensors with the IoT only increases their capabilities.
Measuring Traffic in Las Vegas
One example of the exciting things being done with sensor technology is found in Las Vegas. City government is partnering with a Japanese company who recently installed a sensor system for monitoring one-way traffic. The system was connected to the IoT so that it could report real time data day and night.
What were city leaders trying to measure? They wanted to know how often cars were driving the wrong way on one-way streets. In a broader sense, city leaders also want to understand how one-way streets affect traffic patterns. To that end, they discovered something shocking. Rather than just one or two cars traveling in the wrong direction, sensors picked up as many as 40 per week.
The number was a lot higher than city leaders had anticipated. The good news is that the sensor program revealed a problem that city leaders could then go about fixing. City crews have since installed new signage that data shows has helped cut down on the number of wrong way drivers in the city.
Remote Data Gathering in Real Time
Counting the number of wrong way drivers may not seem like a very exciting use of sensor technology. But when you consider the alternative, the Las Vegas program is a step ahead. Without sensors married to the IoT, gathering the same data would have required parking people on one-way streets and monitoring them 24 hours a day.
That’s the way things were done in the past. Needless to say it was time-consuming and expensive from a labor standpoint. Installing IoT-connected sensors changes the game entirely. Now cities are able to gather real-time information remotely.
Marrying sensors with the IoT helps cities better understand everything from traffic patterns to infrastructure issues. It also leads to faster and smarter decisions. Who knows what will be possible 10 or 15 years from now? If today’s sensor systems are any indication, the future looks rather exciting for city planners and managers. | <urn:uuid:b8a41f04-9320-4496-8955-56adfcfd115c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.raondigital.com/why-city-planners-are-marrying-sensors-with-the-iot/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.970075 | 682 | 2.765625 | 3 |

REDDING, Calif. (AP/CBS13) — Damage assessment teams went out Saturday to determine how many buildings have burned in the Fawn Fire, which has displaced thousands of residents in Northern California's Shasta County.
Firefighters working in steep, drought-stricken terrain hope calmer weather over the next few days will help as they battle the forest fire north of the city of Redding.
"We've gotten fortunate in the last day or so," fire spokesman Scott Ross said. "The winds have kind of lessened, and we're able to get in there and get a lot of work done."
Temperatures also were dropping, with rain expected to start Monday, officials said.
Initial assessments found that at least 100 homes and other buildings had burned, officials said. But that number was likely to change as teams go street by street surveying the destruction in the Mountain Gate area. It wasn't immediately known when the damage assessment would be completed.
At least 9,000 structures still were threatened, Ross said.
Authorities have arrested a 30-year-old woman on suspicion of starting the blaze that erupted Wednesday and grew explosively in hot and gusty weather in the region about 200 miles (322 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.
Alexandra Souverneva was charged Friday with felony arson to wildland with an enhancement because of a declared state of emergency in California, Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett said.
The Palo Alto woman also is being investigated to see if she's started other fires in Shasta County and throughout the state, Bridgett said. It wasn't immediately known if she has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
The Fawn Fire has charred nearly 12 square miles (31 square kilometers) of heavy timber and was 10% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Nearly 2,000 residents were under mandatory evacuation orders and an additional 7,400 were warned to be ready to leave if necessary, the California Highway Patrol said.
It's the latest destructive blaze to send Californians fleeing this year. Fires have burned more than 3,600 square miles (9,324 square kilometers) so far in 2021, destroying more than 3,200 homes, commercial properties and other structures.
Those fires include a pair of big forest blazes that have been burning for more than two weeks in the heart of giant sequoia country on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. More than 1,700 firefighters battled the KNP Complex Fires, which covered nearly 66 square miles (171 square kilometers) by Saturday.
Nearby, the Windy Fire grew significantly Friday, prompting new evacuations for rural communities. The blaze ignited by lightning on Sept. 9 has scorched 111 square miles (287 square kilometers) of trees and brush on the Tule River Indian Reservation and in Sequoia National Forest. It was just 5% contained Saturday.
A historic drought in the American West tied to climate change is making wildfires harder to fight. It has killed millions of trees in California alone. Scientists say climate change has made the West much warmer and drier in the past 30 years and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.

Tanzanite, one of December's three official birthstones, is celebrating its golden anniversary. Fifty years ago, Maasai tribesmen discovered dazzling bluish-violet gems in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Originally thought to be sapphires, the mesmerizing stones were identified by the Gemological Institute of America as a never-before-seen variation of zoisite.
The unusual mineral caught the attention of Tiffany & Co., which had visions of making it the focus of a major advertising campaign. An initial challenge was that the name “zoisite” sounded very much like “suicide,” so the marketing team at Tiffany came up with “tanzanite,” a name that would honor the gem's country of origin. To this day, a 2km by 4km area in Tanzania is the only place on the earth where this type of zoisite can be found.
Tiffany’s marketing campaign succeeded in making tanzanite a household word and earned it the title of “Gem of the 20th Century.”
In 2002, the American Gem Trade Association added tanzanite to the jewelry industry’s official birthstone list. Tanzanite joined turquoise and zircon as the official birthstones for December. It was the first time the list had been amended since 1912.
Tanzanite’s exquisite color is an intoxicating mix of blue and purple, unlike any other gemstone. Tanzanite comes in a wide range of hues, from light blues or lilacs, to deep indigos and violets. The most valuable tanzanite gemstones display a deep sapphire blue color with highlights of intense violet. The Smithsonian’s website explains that tanzanite exhibits the optical phenomenon of pleochroism, appearing intense blue, violet or red, depending on the direction through which the crystal is viewed.
Due to its single source and limited supply, promoters of tanzanite say that the gemstone is one thousand times rarer than a diamond.
The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., houses the "Petersen Tanzanite Brooch," a piece that was designed by Harry Winston in 1991 and donated to the museum by Donald E. and Jo A. Petersen in 2002. The triangular-cut matched tanzanites weigh approximately 30 carats and are adorned by 24 carats of marquise, pear and baguette-cut diamonds in a floral motif. The tanzanite "flowers" may be detached and worn as earrings.
Tanzanite rates a 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. By comparison, diamond rates a 10 and sapphire rates a 9.

The Difference Between Medical & Cosmetic DermatologyMay 31, 2022
Thinking of making a dermatology appointment for the first time? Great! You’ve come to the right place. Routine skin exams are important for maintaining a healthy life and we’re glad you’re ready to start. But since this is all new to you, we understand it could be confusing initially. Here are the differences between medical and cosmetic dermatology.
What is Medical Dermatology?
We use medical dermatology to describe examinations of acne, rashes, warts, and more severe conditions including skin cancer and melanoma. Common circumstances that require medical dermatology appointments can include:
- Acne & Rosacea
- Skin Cancer treatment
- Mole evaluations and routine skin exams
- Eczema (Dermatitis)
- Actinic Keratosis
- Just to name a few…
Often, dermatology-specific medical conditions can be treated using prescription medications as well as over-the-counter treatments. For more severe diseases such as skin cancer or melanoma, surgery may be required. We do that too!
What is Cosmetic Dermatology?
While medical dermatology focuses on maintaining healthy skin, cosmetic dermatology takes care of aesthetics, treating how you look using non-medical options. Cosmetic dermatology appointments can include:
- BOTOX® Cosmetic (to remove or smooth facial lines and wrinkles)
- Laser Hair Removal
- MiraDry (to fight sweat in your underarm)
- Cosmetic Treatment of Benign Lesions, such as skin tags and seborrheic keratosis
- Laser treatments of brown spots
- Laser treatments of facial veins and surface leg veins
- Just to name a few …

|Evolution in the News - September 2007|
|by Do-While Jones|
Science Against Evolution takes no stand on animal rights. We merely note that just as racial views have influenced scientific “truth” in the past, animal rights implications now affect evolutionary conclusions.
Facts have implications. Sometimes those implications can backfire. For a long time evolutionists have been stressing the similarity of man to apes. They wanted to imply that humans are almost apes. The more similar they could make apes and humans appear, the more plausible the theory of evolution.
Evolutionists didn’t realize that when they were implying that humans are almost apes, they were also implying that apes are almost human. The double-edged sword did not go unnoticed by animal rights activists, however.
Spare the apes. That's the message from the Members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. Last week, 433 of 626 MEPs signed a declaration demanding an end to experiments on great apes and non-human primates in Europe.
The declaration is not legally binding, but it is a barometer of opinion and must be formally taken into account by officials drawing up legislation in the European Commission (EC). "It sends an incredibly powerful message to the commission, who are currently reviewing rules for animal experiments across Europe," says Animal Defenders International, the London and San Francisco-based lobby group that championed the declaration. 1
The declaration signed by the Members of the European Parliament sets forth four reasons (A, B, C, and D) for prohibiting ending primate experiments. Please note reason C.
C. noting that primates have a high level of intelligence, being the closest relative to humans, with certain species such as chimpanzees sharing 98% of human DNA, 2
The problem for evolutionists is that the more scientific evidence there is that apes are almost human, the less scientists will be able to experiment on them.
You might wonder if that could explain the recent trend for scientists to downplay the similarity between apes and humans. If so, you are probably the kind of person who is skeptical of the research by scientists employed by the tobacco industry who say cigarette smoking isn’t harmful. You might disregard research by scientists employed by the drug industry who say drugs don’t have dangerous side effects. You might even doubt the research by scientists employed by the oil industry regarding global warming. Don’t you realize that scientists are impartial, unbiased, and always tell the truth regardless of who pays them?
The European resolution cited two similarities between apes and humans—intelligence and DNA. This month an article in Time magazine tried to dance around the problem of the intelligence of apes. They reported that a recent study showed
[Chimps, orangutans, and children] performed about equally well on "physical learning" — locating hidden objects, figuring out the source of a noise, understanding the concepts of more and less, using a stick to get something that's out of reach. 3
But, lest that make apes too human-like, they were quick to say
But when it came to "social learning" tasks — such as understanding how to solve a problem by watching someone else do it, figuring out someone else's state of mind from their actions, or using nonverbal communication to explain or understand how to find something — the kids made monkeys of the apes. 4
It is a tricky balancing act. Evolutionists have to convince us that apes have intelligence similar to humans to make ape to human evolution plausible, but they have to stress that apes have a different kind of intelligence to avoid the moral objections that animal rights activists might raise.
Evolutionists usually fiddle with the numbers to try to make ape DNA as close to human DNA as possible. Last month we reported that evolutionists are now saying that our DNA isn’t that much like chimpanzee DNA. 5
Perhaps evolutionists will encourage animal rights activists to read the special Focus section in the 6 July 2007 issue of Science about the recently sequenced DNA of the sea anemone.
Moreover, the anemone genes look vertebratelike. They often are full of noncoding regions called introns, which are much less common in nematodes and fruit flies than in vertebrates. And more than 80% of the anemone introns are in the same places in humans, suggesting that they probably existed in the common ancestor. 6
The sea anemone DNA has an 80% similarity to human DNA, but the sea anemone certainly doesn’t need to have its rights protected, does it?
Our feature article in this newsletter contained a quote which mentioned “the long evolutionary distance between humans and mice and rats.” Ironically, one of our members recently sent us some pictures that he took at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, including one of their “tree of life.” The museum web site also has a picture of the tree, along with this explanation.
What interested our member was man’s place on the tree. The closest thing to Homo sapiens (modern humans) on this chart is Mus musculus (the mouse)!
What point is the museum trying to get across by showing how closely related men are to mice? Remember, every museum display has a purpose. Why didn’t they include chimps or gorillas on the tree? Here was a perfect chance to show how close humans are to apes, but they didn’t take it. Do you wonder why?
Everybody has a point to make, and of course we do, too. Lest you misunderstand our point, let us spell it out as clearly as we can.
There are genetic similarities and differences in all living organisms. The amount of similarity or difference will depend upon what you measure and how you measure it.
One cannot determine from the amount of similarity how that similarity came to be. Similarity might be the result of a common ancestor, or it might be the result of a common designer. Terms such as “ultraconserved” are simply the result of an assumption of why things are similar.

AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?: STORIES FROM THE MARGINS brings together a diverse group of artists who respond to division and injustice by highlighting the stories of oppressed and marginalized people. At times these stories point to the difference among us and the very real struggles faced by the Other in our society; at other points, the work highlights our common ground despite difference in an effort to bridge the divide.
The exhibition title references the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, highlighting the love shown by a Samaritan man (a cultural outsider) to a man that had been robbed, beaten and left nearly dead. At the end of that story we are compelled to, “Go and do likewise”—show mercy and love to all those in need.

TFP hydrogen has been focusing on the scale up for work package 4, the Nickle Molybdenum on carbon catalyst synthesized by CNR-ITAE. In the last quarter of 2021 several batches of NiMo/C were made at TFP Hydrogen and their electrochemical performance compared to the NiMo/KB synthesized at CNR-ITAE. Further testing determined that the (CNR) NiMo/KB produced the highest activity and TFP-H would take the lead in synthesizing a 100g batch.
The synthesis of the hydroxide step took place early 2022, however we felt that the timings and increased potential for sintering for the large batch using the standard reduction method were not up to our standards. Using this first batch as our test batch we endeavored to create a methodology that would eclipse the first 100g batch in a efficiency and electrochemical performance.
This further testing focused entirely on the reduction step, experimenting with the Hydrogen in Argon concentration, dwell times and reduction batch size. With the goal of determining the maximum batch size, minimum dwell time and optimum Hydrogen in Argon concentration.
Several steps have already been made to perfect this method, one example being the addition of a nitrogen flush 1 hour after cool down, decreasing the chance of continued reduction upon contact with air and potential sintering upon removal. This relatively small step resulted in an increase in large batch activity from one sample to the next.
We hope that by the end of the February 2022 we will have synthesized a second 100g batch, that matches the small scale CNR batch in activity and to have formulated a method for future large scale catalyst manufacture. | <urn:uuid:50135473-71cb-4349-9400-d1714dd25cf1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://anione.eu/work-update-electrochemical-performance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.95861 | 342 | 1.984375 | 2 |
Understanding the brain’s work and various cognitive biases is increasingly seeping into the daily lives of people of different specialties, as we are all looking for an opportunity for a competitive advantage.
Various elements like the importance of being the first to name the price, make a good first impression by appearance, not to reject tea/coffee—all this is already known to many. Others go further, trying to study a huge number of existing cognitive biases.
However, if we read a book or watch a film, we try to do this from the first seconds and the first pages. It’s the same with understanding people’s decisions: it is important to understand where the roots come from. For it is always easier to understand a small basis than a large number of consequences.
While the reason for our existence is singular—reproduction. This is what our genes want from us. As much has changed during evolution and due to our own complications, it has forced the genes to create still new veiled ways of making us give offspring and ensure its survival.
Strange as it may seem, our whole lives submit to reproduction. Give birth to and keep the offspring, take care of good education for it, buy it an apartment, find a good job for it, make it get married, and get its own offspring.
That is the background, against which the whole life of most people goes on. Fortunately, we’ve already got a fairly developed prefrontal cortex, and in those moments when there is enough energy, it can help us make a decision not to be led by our genes.
Especially when hormones do not affect us as much as during adolescence, and frustration in relationships has created a sufficient number of negative somatic markers.
Today, we will discuss how the desire for reproduction can be used for the benefit of sports marketing.
To begin with, it is necessary to repeat an important axiom: sex does not sell. However logical it may seem, but sex as a marketing tool was effective exclusively in 1970–80s, when it could be considered shocking, drawing attention to the brand. That is, at that time, sex could be used in the strategy of bringing a new product to the market.
However, by hurling the reproduction in the consumer’s forehead, the only thing marketers achieve is the brain’s full focus on the reproduction, as the basic program of our existence gets activated. Even survival obeys it.
Fortunately, you can move a few steps back, leaving an understatement and uncertainty. Thus, raising the dopamine level and playing on testosterone. You’ve probably heard those obsessive rumors about some social groups inside which men are popular.
Argumentation is, by the way, quite logical: the number of female representatives in such groups is higher. In fact, this definitely raises the men’s value, but not as drastically as it might seem and be wanted. After all, our brain is far from operating with logic.
To understand what I’m pointing at, let’s consider first how dopamine is used in gambling for creating addiction.
Why do you think it’s important to give a person a chance to win in gambling immediately? The dopamine system in response to a situation that gives better results than expected, reacts with a strong dopamine release. As a result, the brain raises the value of this particular situation.
And then everything is simple: a little more dopamine than necessary, and dependence is guaranteed. In the case of gambling, it looks like the person’s expectations of the game are greater than they should be.
But if a person immediately loses all over again, there occurs the opposite situation: the brain receives a command from the dopamine system to lower the situation’s value.
But in the case of sports neuromarketing, by combining reproduction with dopamine, the club opens a new chapter in its own interaction with the fans. One just needs to change the brand positioning (at least for a specific target audience), reviewing further the strategy of cooperation with the fans.
The only thing needed is to create a separate vip-layer of fans, which is not that easy to get to, and makes living outside of it unbearable. For rumors are running that its representatives are as cool and popular with the opposite sex as possible.
That is, on the one hand, there are high expectations, while on the other—the presence of uncertainty. This will raise the dopamine level significantly. Then everything depends on your imagination and possibilities.
For example, in one of the strategies, we’ve added the IKEA effect (I’ve already written about it in the article on motivation), reading that the subjective value of something goes up, if we make effort to achieve results. As a result, an uncomplicated quest to join the “special” group could be realized with the sponsorship activation.
In fact, there are many suitable cognitive biases that allow different ways of reproduction and dopamine’s engagement. Using a little imagination, you will get excellent results.
I’ve already written on the particularity of testosterone usage in sports marketing. The point is that after selecting a separate segment called “fans with a high testosterone level,” the most interesting work begins. Forget about discounts, as well as other uninteresting and in most cases ineffective tools.
When you exert an external influence on the fans’ testosterone levels, you can quite effectively appeal to the reproduction module. To do it for the sake of an interesting PR story or for monetization (do not forget about the conspicuous consumption, which is positively affected by testosterone)—is up to you to decide.
For example, while working with an American audience, one can organize a contest for the best fan by making a date with a miss of a small town, thus increasing the activity in the stadium. In the case of Eastern Europe, we are faced with a difference in the work of community management in the US and post-Soviet countries. Therefore, other regions require developing other strategies.

This is according to two separate studies that explore how the UK is feeling about and preparing for Brexit. A report from the Bank of England’s regional agents finds that two thirds of the 369 companies they spoke to had made any arrangements. These include setting up new legal entities, relocating offices, or making changes to sourcing and supply chains.
Key to these findings are the distributions of sectors. Construction companies, working in a mostly domestic market, were least likely to have made preparations. While business services, the category that most of the FT’s readership belongs to – banks, lawyers – and also services such as advertising, were more likely to have already made changes. However, a significant proportion (just under 40%) of this category are yet to make any changes.
The report also found that companies in the aerospace and automotive sector were among the most concerned about the impact of Brexit on their businesses, due to the highly integrated supply chains that have relied on the European Union.
Meanwhile, research from media agency the 7Stars, which surveyed 1000 Britons, found that as many as 39% believe nothing will change after the 29th March 2019. Among self-reported ‘leave’ voters, this figure climbs to 65%.
If there is to be an impact, 48% of respondents worried about increased racism and intolerance. A similar number (47%) worry about a crash in the value of the pound, despite just 35% believing this will happen.
Commenting on the findings, the 7Stars’ insight team lead, Francis Revel says “it’s interesting to see the public somewhat burying their heads in the sand when it comes to evaluating the real-life implications. Despite government forecasts and the ongoing fallout over Theresa May’s deal, a large amount of Leave voters are still under the impression that their lives will remain largely unaffected.”

Dear Clients and Friends,
In the early 1980’s, corporate executives at IBM and AT&T predicted that global demand for personal computers would top 1,000 units and there will only be 2,000 subscribers for wireless phones. The world is a different place now. And yet, we hear echoes from the past where sceptics in our industry say change will come slowly and incrementally, if at all. Healthcare, they claim, is different and it would be difficult to make sweeping changes to the industry quickly. But the reality is different. Not only is change coming quickly, but remarkably, it is being embraced by both practitioners and patients, and reinforced by visionary entrepreneurs determined to shake up the system. One example that can give us a glimpse of the future is the emerging technology of blockchains. This technology has the potential to single handedly squeeze hundreds of billions of dollars of costs out of the system, giving us more reason to hope for an inclusive and affordable healthcare system.
Blockchains are essentially an open source distributed data base structure that use state of the art cryptography. The technology allows collaboration and exchange of data among related parties where tracking of all transactions and interactions are highly secured, underpinned with genuine privacy protection; a platform for truth and trust. They are designed to enable disparate systems to exchange data creating connectivity between multiple networks – weaving together systems and networks to provide a distributed database for managing unique digital assets. The exchange of data residing in EHRs seem to be a natural place to start — it’s all about facilitating the move from paper to digital to network clusters and ultimately to a single interoperability “engine”.
If providers, payers and patients had access to the same global “spreadsheet”, namely the EHR, imagine the savings that we could drive from this technology. Payers and providers spend $300B annually on administrative functions related to data access and exchange, reconciliation of payments and fraud. Blockchains have the ability to put a serious dent in that spend. And we will undoubtedly see a significant rise in quality of care and patient satisfaction. The good news is that companies are already working on developing a purpose built healthcare blockchain. They are building a specific programmable communication layer that can connect a variety of our data sources to blockchains, facilitating the first steps of adoption.
Blockchains give us a real chance, another go to try to save our bloated healthcare system. We don’t like to think of the technology as a disruptor but more as an organic necessity that takes advantage of the emerging trends in disintermediation and democratization of data sharing. If anybody tells you that the use of blockchains in healthcare is a pipe dream, remind them that most predictions about technology adoption have been grossly underestimated. We promise you won’t lose this bet! | <urn:uuid:f55c39b2-9da4-4852-ab10-2806df688066> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.marlinllc.com/blog/can-blockchains-save-our-healthcare-system-our-october-2016-hit-market-update/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.941116 | 573 | 1.976563 | 2 |
New York Times columnist John Tierney writes today on the life-changing effects of gratitude. It's a good read.
"The most psychologically correct holiday of the year is upon us.
"Cultivating an 'attitude of gratitude' has been linked to better health, sounder sleep, less anxiety and depression, higher long-term satisfaction with life and kinder behavior toward others, including romantic partners. A new study shows that feeling grateful makes people less likely to turn aggressive when provoked, which helps explain why so many brothers-in-law survive Thanksgiving without serious injury." | <urn:uuid:f607e698-cc7b-471d-a4e2-01cd6bc6791c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/serving-gratitude-may-save-day | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.920775 | 120 | 1.851563 | 2 |

Every little boy’s (and several grown men’s) dream of earning money by playing video gaming is edging closer to reality. The recent release of HunterCoin and the in-development VoidSpace, games which reward players in digital currency instead of virtual princesses or gold stars point towards a future where one’s ranking on a scoreboard could possibly be rewarded in dollars, and sterling, euros and yen.
The story of the millionaire (virtual) real estate agent…
Digital currencies have already been slowly gaining in maturity both with regards to their functionality and the financial infrastructure that enables them to be utilized as a credible option to non-virtual fiat currency. Though Bitcoin, the very first and most popular of the crypto-currencies was made in 2009 2009 2009 there have been forms of virtual currencies found in video games for more than 15 years. 1997’s Ultima Online was the initial notable attempt to add a large scale virtual economy in a casino game. Players could collect coins by undertaking quests, battling monsters and finding treasure and spend these on armour, weapons or property. This was an early on incarnation of a virtual currency in that it existed purely within the overall game though it did mirror real life economics to the extent that the Ultima currency experienced inflation as a result of the overall game mechanics which ensured that there was a never ending supply of monsters to kill and thus gold coins to collect.
Released in 1999, EverQuest took virtual currency gaming a step further, allowing players to trade virtual goods amongst themselves in-game and even though it was prohibited by the game’s designer to also sell virtual items to each other on eBay. In a real world phenomenon that was entertainingly explored in Neal Stephenson’s 2011 novel Reamde, Chinese gamers or ‘gold farmers’ were employed to play EverQuest and other such games full-time with the aim of gaining experience points in order to level-up their characters thereby making them more powerful and sought after. These characters would then be sold on eBay to Western gamers who have been unwilling or unable to devote the hours to level-up their own characters. Based on the calculated exchange rate of EverQuest’s currency as a result of real life trading that took place Edward Castronova, Professor of Telecommunications at Indiana University and a specialist in virtual currencies estimated that in 2002 EverQuest was the 77th richest country on the planet, somewhere within Russia and Bulgaria and its own GDP per capita was greater than the People’s Republic of China and India.
Launched in 2003 and having reached 1 million regular users by 2014, Second Life could very well be the most complete exemplory case of a virtual economy up to now whereby it’s virtual currency, the Linden Dollar and this can be used to get or sell in-game goods and services could be exchanged for real world currencies via market-based exchanges. There were a recorded $3.2 billion in-game transactions of virtual goods in the 10 years between 2002-13, Second Life having turn into a marketplace where players and businesses alike were able to design, promote and sell content they created. Real estate was a particularly lucrative commodity to trade, in 2006 Ailin Graef became the 1st Second Life millionaire when she turned an initial investment of $9.95 into over $1 million over 2.5 years through buying, selling and trading virtual property to other players. Examples such as for example Ailin are the exception to the rule however, only a recorded 233 users making more than $5000 in 2009 2009 from Second Life activities.
How to be paid in dollars for mining asteroids…
To date, the ability to generate non-virtual cash in video games has been of secondary design, the player having to proceed through non-authorised channels to switch their virtual booty or they needing to possess a degree of real life creative skill or business acumen that could be traded for cash. This could be set to change with the advent of video games being built from the ground up round the ‘plumbing’ of recognised digital currency platforms. The approach that HunterCoin has had is to ‘gamify’ what’s typically the rather technical and automated process of creating digital currency. Unlike real life currencies that come into existence if they are printed by way of a Central bank, digital currencies are created by being ‘mined’ by users. The underlying source code of a specific digital currency which allows it to function is called the blockchain, an online decentralised public ledger which records all transactions and currency exchanges between individuals. Since digital currency is only intangible data it really is more susceptible to fraud than physical currency in that you’ll be able to duplicate a unit of currency thereby causing inflation or altering the value of a transaction after it’s been made for personal gain. To ensure this will not happen the blockchain is ‘policed’ by volunteers or ‘miners’ who test the validity of each transaction that’s made whereby using specialist hardware and software they ensure that data is not tampered with. This is a computerized process for miner’s software albeit an exceptionally time consuming one which involves many processing power from their computer. To reward a miner for verifying a transaction the blockchain releases a new unit of digital currency and rewards them with it being an incentive to keep maintaining the network, thus is digital currency created. Because it can take anything from several days to years for a person to successfully mine a coin groups of users combine their resources into a mining ‘pool’, utilizing the joint processing power of these computers to mine coins quicker.
HunterCoin the overall game sits within this type of blockchain for an electronic currency also called HunterCoin. The act of playing the game replaces the automated process of mining digital currency and for the very first time makes it a manual one and without the need for expensive hardware. Using strategy, time and teamwork, players venture out onto a map in search of coins and on finding some and returning safely to their base (other teams are out there trying to stop them and steal their coins) they can cash out their coins by depositing them to their own digital wallet, typically an app designed to make and receive digital payments. 10% of the value of any coins deposited by players go to the miners maintaining HunterCoin’s blockchain plus a small percent of any coins lost when a player is killed and their coins dropped. As the game graphics are basic and significant rewards take time to accumulate HunterCoin can be an experiment that might be viewed as the first video game with monetary reward built-in as a primary function.
Though still in development VoidSpace is really a more polished approach towards gaming in a functioning economy. A Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG), VoidSpace is defined in space where players explore an ever-growing universe, mining natural resources such as asteroids and trading them for goods with other players with the purpose of building their own galactic empire. Players will undoubtedly be rewarded for mining in DogeCoin, a far more established type of digital currency which is currently used widely for micro-payments on various social media sites. DogeCoin may also be currency of in-game trade between players and the methods to make in-game purchases. Like HunterCoin, DogeCoin is a legitimate and fully functioning digital currency and like HunterCoin it usually is traded for both digital and real fiat currencies on exchanges like Poloniex.
The future of video games?
Though it is start in terms of quality the release of HunterCoin and VoidSpace can be an interesting indication of what could be the next evolution for games. MMORPG’s are being considered as methods to model the outbreak of epidemics due to how player’s reactions to an unintended plague mirrored recorded hard-to-model areas of human behaviour to real life outbreaks. It could be surmised that eventually in-game virtual economies could be used as models to test economic theories and develop responses to massive failures predicated on observations of how players use digital currency with real value. It is also an excellent test for the functionality and potential applications of digital currencies which have the promise of moving beyond mere vehicles of exchange and into exciting regions of personal digitial ownership for example. In the mean time, players now have the methods to translate hours in front of a screen into digital currency and then dollars, sterling, euros or yen.
But before See more quit your day job…
… it’s worth mentioning current exchange rates. It’s estimated a player could comfortably recoup their initial registration fee of just one 1.005 HunterCoin (HUC) for joining HunterCoin the game in 1 day’s play. Currently HUC can’t be exchanged right to USD, one must convert it into a competent digital currency like Bitcoin. During writing the exchange rate of HUC to Bitcoin (BC) is 0.00001900 while the exchange rate of BC to USD is $384.24. 1 HUC traded to BC and to USD, before any transaction fees were taken into consideration would mean… $0.01 USD. This is simply not to say that as a player becomes more adept they cannot grow their team of virtual CoinHunters and perhaps hire a few ‘bot’ programmes that could automatically play the game beneath the guise of another player and earn coins for them aswell but I think it’s safe to say that right now even efforts such as this might only realistically result in enough change for an everyday McDonalds. Unless players are willing to submit to intrusive in-game advertising, share personal data or join a casino game such as CoinHunter that’s built on the Bitcoin blockchain it really is improbable that rewards are ever likely to be a lot more than micro-payments for the casual gamer. And perhaps this is a positive thing, because surely if you receives a commission for something it stops being truly a game any more? | <urn:uuid:3ba0e3a9-ab35-4ede-8d5b-c7ecef7fa642> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://20000w.com/virtual-currency-games/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.960976 | 2,026 | 1.765625 | 2 |
- Eating late during the day and stress can induce overeating.
- The levels of hunger hormones increase and the levels of satiety hormones take a dip in the evening.
- The findings can help modify behavior which can prevent overeating.
of food during the day is usually much less, when compared
to that of food consumed in the evenings. We would probably think, that we are
hard pressed for time to grab a bite during the day, and more relaxed in the
evening. However, this is not so. A recent study finds that
the level of hunger hormones rise and satiety hormone levels decrease in the
evening. This means that we will want to eat more and we tend to feel that we
are not full especially in the evening.
Stress may increase hunger hormone levels in the evening, and the impact of hormones on appetite may be greater for people prone to binge eating.
"Our findings suggest that evening is a high-risk time for overeating, especially if you're stressed and already prone to binge eating," said Dr. Susan Carnell, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the new study's first author.
Can Stress be the Reason For Overeating?Previous research has shown that stress during the daytime can increase levels of ghrelin, a hunger hormone. But then, does stress affect hunger urges at later hours, especially among those with binge eating disorder? The research team designed an experiment to measure participants' hunger and stress hormones at different times.
For the study, the research team recruited 32 overweight participants aged 18-50. They had a body mass index ranging from 28-52 with no other health issues.
Each participant was on a fast for eight hours and then received a liquid meal at either 9 a.m. or 4 p.m. After about two hours, each participant then underwent a standard experimental stress test. The participants submerged their nondominant hand in a bucket of cold water for two minutes and their facial expressions were recorded.
Blood samples were drawn to assess stress and hunger hormones. The levels of hunger and fullness were rated by the participants on a numeric scale.
Participants were offered a buffet 30 minutes after the start of the stress test. The buffet had three medium pizzas, cookies and chocolate covered candies, individual containers of snack chips, and water.
Stress, Hormones and OvereatingStress can lead to changes in the serum level of many hormones including glucocorticoids, catecholamines, growth hormone and prolactin. Stress can relate to the response of the body to disease conditions, infection or the psychological effect that causes tension, depression.
Stress is a challenge to the natural homeostasis of an organism; in turn, the organism may react to stress by producing a physiological response to regain equilibrium lost by the impact of the stressor. One such homeostasis that is disrupted is that of feeding behavior.
Stress causes disorders in a feedback mechanism related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This regulates both stress and feeding responses. Uncontrollable stress can change eating patterns and can either induce over eating. Those who are stressed generally prefer high fat, high calorie and foods high in sugar, salt such as fried snacks, pastries, potato chips, nachos. Over a period of time, this could lead to changes in the body due to stress and can trigger responses in the brain that promotes overeating.
Elevated Hunger Hormones and Stress Influence OvereatingIt is well known that stress induces hunger and drives emotional eating. But does the influence of stress remain the same throughout the day?
The findings show that:
- The time of day significantly impacted hunger levels. Compared to morning, the self-reported appetite was higher in the evening.
- The levels of peptide YY, a hormone linked to reduced appetite, glucose and insulin levels were decreased.
- Those with binge eating disorder had higher initial levels of ghrelin in the evening while it was lower in the morning.
- All the participants experienced higher levels of ghrelin in the evening and after the stress test. This shows that stress may trigger hunger in the evening than during the day.
Tips to Deal With Overeating During The EveningThe study findings now show the scientific evidence that elevated hunger hormones during the evening is the reason behind over eating. Stress and binge eating behavior can add on to the risk of obesity.
- Spot the stressor. Find out what makes you stress out and deal with it.
- At work or at home, try to finish most of the crucial task as the day begins instead of accumulating them. This can help reduce tension.
- Space out your meals through-out the day to avoid overeating during the evening
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat balanced meals. Include plenty of vegetables, greens for lunch.
- Have a healthy snack or a fruit juice between the lunch and the dinner to avoid excess food intake.
- To combat stress, perform relaxation exercises like deep breathing or practice meditation, yoga, laughter and rhythmic exercises. These exercises help in bringing the nervous system back to equilibrium.

Another reason to travel to Norway is its breathtaking and picturesque sceneries, from the amazing fjords to the dancing northern lights in the sky. It’s a good thing that New Zealand is on the list of 62 countries that are waived from visa requirements when going into the Schengen Area.
But beginning in 2022, there will be a new system that will be launched to screen people who plan to visit countries that are part of the Schengen Area like Norway.

Development is not nearly service. As a matter of fact, it can occur in any kind of sector of an economy. According to the UN System of National Accounts, technology occurs in four broad fields: businesses, general government, households, and also non-governmental companies (NGO) serving houses. The very first industry, businesses, includes organizations that focus on production. The 2nd market, households, comprises NGOs that provide services. Technology in businesses is characterized by a dynamic process including numerous interactions.
To be genuinely innovative, companies require to recognize that innovation is all about staying pertinent in an age of quick modification. What once made a firm successful might currently trigger it to fail. The obstacle is to stay appropriate by transforming with the requirements of its components. Regardless of sector or location, business should adjust to equal changing fads and innovation. Creating a strategy to fulfill the demands of its constituency is one key component of development. But how can companies keep up?
In order to be absolutely innovative, business need to have the ability to test ideas with their consumers early. There are several challenges in between technology and also its end user. It is essential to locate the ideal combination of individuals, process, and also sources to develop new services and products.

Because of this, you will certainly require a well-connected task manager who can supervise spending plan, time to market, as well as key specs. Furthermore, he should likewise be able to state “no.” Actually, the project group need to be cross-functional.
To absolutely separate technology from development, the brand-new item or idea have to be made available to individuals. Prototypes of a new product, even if it is a successful concept, will not certify as a development. Innovation must be executed to be really reliable. Only after that can it be claimed that it is an innovation. Its implementation is the defining aspect. Ingenious product or services are the cornerstones of success in today’s economic situation. There are lots of examples of advancement in today’s society.
In order for advancement to be successful, organizations have to allot sources early at the same time. While the company’s core business jobs are established to be effective, advancement initiatives have to be handled differently. Actually, some organizations can not manage to allocate sources to development. This is because their company is set up for supplying core service tasks. The development group has a limited spending plan. Consequently, it can’t complete on ROI and also risk. For this reason, innovation tasks require certain monitoring, specialized abilities, and resources.
Big companies can not quickly become leading innovators, as social and set routines can make innovation a challenge. Advancement quality is generally the outcome of a multi-year procedure that touches every aspect of the business. To achieve technology excellence, organizations need to study the most effective methods of high-performing innovators as well as apply them across their entire organization. This develops an essential operating system. As soon as technology has been embedded, the firm is ready to handle the difficulty of changing itself into an effective business.

The new service or product must be sensible in business model, and it must include value for customers. Additionally, it must boost the capacity of a service. This way, innovation will certainly profit both the business and also the consumers. And also, as the world adjustments and also becomes a lot more linked, advancement will have the potential to become the brand-new standard for supplying value.

According to ISO TC 279, technology is a procedure of rearranging value. The process of advancement has many advantages. These advantages are commonly tough to capture as well as execute without a solid entrepreneurial spirit. So what is innovation?

Companies that efficiently manufacture all 3 have the very best possibility of success. As an example, the chairman of Alcoa says that finding the pleasant area of advancement produces excellent returns for the business. To help you create ingenious suggestions, we’ll consider the development procedure in the USA. Here’s just how it functions.

A cutting-edge company needs to develop a culture that rewards trial and error and also the desire to try brand-new things.

The growing global food security crisis is complicated by the need for increased crop production with less arable land and limited water resources. Reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation is becoming more common, often paired with other conservation measures such as subsurface drip irrigation (SDI). Passively injecting air into SDI systems increases crop yields and overcomes root zone wetting issues. However, when used with treated irrigation water, contaminants in the water might be taken up by the crops. This paper investigates the impact of air-injected water containing caffeine, carbamazepine, and gemfibrozil on plant uptake and soil microbial communities in Salanova lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Aerated lettuce yielded higher plant mass and root length. The use of air-injected water reduced the uptake of caffeine and gemfibrozil and increased the uptake of carbamazepine. Gemfibrozil and carbamazepine were primarily detected in leachate, while caffeine was observed in the soil samples. Injected air significantly impacted (p-value < 0.001) the fate and transport of gemfibrozil. Injection of pharmaceutically active compounds and the presence/absence of injected-air created a variation in soil microbial communities. | <urn:uuid:d4ea2674-6b12-41fd-a4f7-6794161f41aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/watercenterpubs/54/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.913614 | 316 | 2.40625 | 2 |

In this third installment in the occasional series Art Brut (for further information please refer to the previous posts Art Brut and Art Brut II) I am concentrating on four extraordinary 20th Century African-American artists from the Southern States of the US. Each artist concerns and insights are very different from one another, but they do share some of the overriding attributes common to art brut ; notably the urgent necessity to create, an obsessional desire to give shape and form to the inner realms of experience and vision as well as being late starters, who then prolifically produced exceptional works in a white hot blaze of inspiration.

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to disregard conspiracy theories claiming that the COVID-19 pandemic was created by foreign countries to depopulate Africa or to make money for Western pharmaceutical companies.
President Buhari gave the warning in his ‘get well soon’ message to the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, who was recently diagnosed with the COVID-19 infection.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the President also warned that refusing to heed non-pharmaceutical instructions on staying safe from the virus is capable of setting government’s efforts at containing its spread back.
The President, therefore, advised Nigerians to come out fully and get vaccinated.
In the statement, he reminded Nigerians “to disregard the allegation that the pandemic is a foreign creation to depopulate Africa and boost the financial interests of western pharmaceutical companies through vaccine production”.
“Lack of attention to medical advice and apathy are damaging to the government’s efforts to contain the spread of this deadly viral disease,” he said.
In his message to President Ramaphosa, Buhari said: “My heart and prayers are with Mr. Ramaphosa of South Africa at this difficult moment of health challenge, and I pray for his speedy and full recovery.
“Mr. Ramaphosa is a friend of Nigeria and an important partner in our joint continental efforts to tackle Africa’s social, economic and political difficulties. “The coronavirus pandemic is a reality and no respecter of persons.” | <urn:uuid:accd3cdf-b6fa-4892-9c3f-09aaaa0ecdd5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lawyerwaka.com/covid-19-was-not-created-to-depopulate-africa-buhari/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.963083 | 343 | 1.53125 | 2 |

Building a sports brand is a process, which involves different steps, e.g. brand awareness, brand image, brand equity and brand loyalty. Working in the sports industry it is important to nurture the creation, development and management of these different steps.
Figure: Developing a sports brand (source: Introduction to Sport marketing by Aaron Smith, page 121).
Brand awareness refers to how an organization is recognized and remembered by its targeted consumers. The specific tools used by a company to transmit its identity and image to different stakeholders, help build and establish brand awareness.
Arsenal is a football club based in London, UK. The club was established in 1886. Throughout its history, the club developed into one of the world’s most famous football clubs.
Since its early years, the club focused on media exposure to establish brand awareness. To exemplify this, the match against Sheffield United on January 22 1927 was the first game to be broadcasted live on the radio in England. Ten years after, Arsenal set another pioneering milestone by appearing in the first football game to be broadcasted on television by BBC. To highlight the importance of this step in terms of creating awareness, it is worthy to mention that the match was ‘specially arranged’ between the first eleven and the reserve team. Nowadays, Arsenal is still in the game of pioneering in terms of the media-sports nexus via its involvement in the first ever ‘3D live television’ public broadcasting of a sport event. On January 31, 2010, Arsenal’s home game against Manchester United was broadcasted live in 3D by Sky Sports in over 9 pubs in five cities in England. One of the commentators for this event was a former legend of Arsenal, Alan Smith.
As seen in the above-mentioned examples, Arsenal is a club, which was aware of the media power in creating brand awareness even from the early days. In this sense, the club is still looking for possibilities to make full use of the new communication tools like social media and other online platforms. By managing the media-sports nexus, Arsenal manages to deliver a unique and strong identity, which stands for tradition, performance and passion.
In 2013, Arsenal announced their profits, which come as positive factors for the future development of the club. “It is therefore positive that the strong financial platform we have created in recent years allows us to continue to be competitive at the highest level” Sir Chips Keswick the club’s chairman declared on their webpage.
Arsenal’s vision statement is ‘to provide a world class soccer program that develops world class soccer players’. The ‘Asian-awareness tournaments’ are developed to increase the fan database and to maintain a close relationship with relevant stakeholders. After the 2013 summer tournament, Arsenal created a new strategic partnership with Bodog, which became an official partner. Vinai Venkatesham, head of global partnerships at Arsenal declared that: “As our fanbase in Asia continues to grow rapidly, working in partnership with companies like Bodog who have long-term roots in the region, provides a strong platform to further engage with Arsenal fans in Asia.” This is not the club’s first action in following their vision and mission, as Arsenal has arranged tournaments and partnerships in Asia in different countries over the last couple of years.
Arsenal FC Vision and Mission Statements:
a) Arsenal FC Vision:
‘To provide a world class soccer program that develops world class soccer players’.

Local workers in London founded FC Arsenal in 1886. Nowadays, the club is often perceived in a positive way, because it still has popularity in the middle-class. Though, a problem area in that sense may be that the club has one of the highest ticket price levels in UK. Over the years, Arsenal has created a sense of community. In the early years, the club gained popularity in British Islands, but from start of 1970’s when Arsenal won UEFA Europa League (1970), the Premier League and the FA Cup (1971), the club received international attention. Arsenal’s brand image became well-known across Europe. The next great era for FC Arsenal began in 1997, when Arsene Wenger became head coach. The club won the Premier League in 1997 and 2002 with players they bought and/or developed, e.g. Patrick Vieira, Nicolas Anelka, Emmanuel Petit and Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Fredrik Ljungberg. In these years, Arsenal became a well-known brand worldwide. One of the reasons was the work of successful manager Arsene Wenger and his players, who were (or became) famous on a global scale. Another attractive side of Arsenal was the club’s appealing and offensive style of football in these years. The club played fast one-touch football.
As Arsenal stated in its Mission statement, the clubs wants to develop local talent through a technical and tactical training program combined with game competition at the highest level and this part has helped to attach a positive side to their image. Local people like to see that the club is an active part of the society and that the club is taking good care of local talents (CSR).
Arsenal FC is called the Gunners in reference to the canons; in the early days of the FA, Arsenal had a relationship with Woolwich Arsenal, which made guns and ammunition hence the name. The canon theme has evolved over the years and has remained common on Arsenal’s varying crests down the years, including the new design.
When Arsenal FC built the stadium 1,800 new jobs were created and 2,000 new homes were built in London. The stadium has a capacity of 60,000 visitors and 1,000 construction workers built it. In that regard, the club certainly has had its share of ‘impact’ on the local community.

Arsenal has its merchandise shop located at the “Emirates stadium” and also offers an online shop. In this way, the fans can purchase items in the way, which is most comfortable for them.
Additionally, the club has a special system for the disabled people, who can use a special area so that they gain easier access to the stadium and have the opportunity to park their cars near the venue.
Moreover, Arsenal delivers socializing events, where fans can gather at the local restaurant and enjoy their meals. They also provide accommodation in their local restaurant, tours through the club’s exhibition (trophies, gallery), and the club’s most important places. For more inquisitive fans, Arsenal offers the history of the club and its most important dates as a part of the tour.
Compared with 2012, Arsenal has increased its yearly turnover by £7.5 mio. (£235.3 mio. in 2012 to £242.5 mio. 2013). The club spent more money in 2013 on players than in 2012 (£36.8 mio. in 2012 while £58.7 mio. in 2013). That may somewhat explain why Arsenal’s 2013 ‘profits before tax’ accounted for £6.7 mio. measured against £36.6 mio. in 2012. However, the club is doing well financially. The club’s turnover is positive. On top of that, Arsenal is trying to improve its strengths (on the pitch – and that is closely related to continued financial performance in top football) by buying new players and improving services to ensure better achievements and to please the fans.
As mentioned in reliability part, Arsenal tries to provide more qualitative service to its fans based on fans’ needs, including help for the disabled people. The club offers underground access for disabled people around the stadium to make their way to the game as easy as possible. Arsenal has a special bus, which is wheelchair accessible, and also has bus stops near the stadium. Furthermore, Arsenal has a taxi service, which is also accessible for disabled people (not to forget special access to toilets, the Arsenal museum and art exhibitions).
To listen to the needs of the fans, Arsenal applies its Facebook fan page (almost 15 million of fans following), Twitter fan page (2.8 million of followers), weekly voting pools and official email contact where fans can engage with ‘Arsenal managers’. For even better communication, Arsenal is providing special numbers where fans can call and ask different questions. Based on that information, the club is really trying to listen to the needs of the fans.
Because of the managerial stability (Arsene Wenger has been the manager since 1996), Arsenal creates a credible atmosphere and through its continuous development ensures the loyalty of the fan database. In 2011, the number of fans reached more than100 million. The loyalty of the fans can be seen in the fact that the club has one of the biggest membership schemes in the game with more than 200,000 members.
By looking at the needs of the fans, Arsenal provides special football (soccer) schools, which are offered worldwide. The duration of these schools is one week and the schools are situated in different parts of the world so most of the fans (especially youth) get the opportunity to gain top-notch skills and knowledge in the field of football.
Furthermore, Arsenal FC started Arsenal Foundation (fundraising and grant-making organization), which helps to engage young people in different education programs, literacy, language programs and different projects. It gave “more than 850,000 pounds to support a variety of local and global projects over the past year, enabling more young people around the globe to fulfill their potential.”
The main tangible physical feature of the club is the Emirates stadium. It’s one of the most technologically developed stadiums in Europe with different access for disabled people. Arsenal provides restaurant and hotel facilities, where the customers can try different intangible experiences. Moreover, the club provides different attributes with the logo on it, such as: shirts, shoes, training outfits, cups, scarfs and other merchandise items.
In relation to the spread of the information, the club provides different booklets about its games, information about the team structure and other key information at the info stands around the stadium.
By addressing the quality of the sports services and goods offered by Arsenal FC, the management is encouraging loyalty by offering rewards and possibilities for the fans to express themselves in connection with their common passion.
For example in the season 2012/2013, Arsenal had 19 home games in the Premier League. The stadium holds 60,112 seats and in average for each game there was 60,079 fans watching the game.
Depending on the membership type, there are different extra benefits, which enhance the experience. The convenience of choosing and purchasing a membership online is an added value in the service offering. Therefore, it is easy to get access in an official supporters club, which can be found all over the world.
On Arsenal’s home page, the club is promoting the ‘sense of belonging’ by suggesting the world fans to “get involved!” and enroll in one of the many supports clubs.
Another major step in getting close to its supporters was through publically selling bonds. This decision came after the £ 430 million debt to pay for the Emirates stadium. The fans now had the opportunity to own a part of the club and also some other benefits were listed. The ‘Arsenal Fanshare’ gives the opportunity for the new generations of supporters to advance their involvement in the club from simple support to actual ownership.
To sum up, Arsenal FC went through all the phases to create a strong global sports brand. Throughout the club’s history, the management established a strategic framework, in which they developed a strong organization with unique identity that focuses on the various stakeholder groups of the club.

This is a YouTube “fan” video of Leo Yankevich’s poem “An Interview with the Oldest Man in Europe,” from his volume Tikkun Olam and Other Poems, available from Counter-Currents.
Amid the leaves of this his final Fall
his eyes reflect the blue unminding heavens,
but tell me nothing of the girl he wed
while serving in the Tsar’s Imperial Guard,
tell me nothing of the six sons she bore
during the Great War and Revolution,
and nothing of the hellish years he spent,
a prisoner-slave in Kolyma’s mines.
Like Midas, all he touches turns to gold—
the leaves are fallen sons and memories,
the numbers on his wrist his gilded name.
He is too close to death to answer questions.
Three died for Hitler, and three died for Stalin.
And he was cursed to have survived them all. | <urn:uuid:e008971a-6ae3-4ce0-a054-9c6fef7f7be8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://counter-currents.com/2012/04/video-of-the-dayleo-yankevichs-an-interview-with-the-oldest-man-in-europe/print | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.952379 | 212 | 2.15625 | 2 |
takeout food containers
My husband and I live in New York City and find ourselves ordering takeout all the time. The piping hot food often arrives in plastic containers. Should we be concerned about the plastic leaching into the food?
POSTED BY RITA :: RITA NISSAN :: :: NEW YORK USA :: 11/04/2008 11:08 AM
YES. It depends on the type of container. Styrofoam is the worst.
Heat in general makes plastic outgas. Hot food really makes it leach.
If you are putting leftovers in plastic containers, you should always wait until the food cools.
See if you can find out what types of plastics are used in the take-out containers you most frequently get. Then at least you will know what you are eating and can look for better alternatives. | <urn:uuid:fc9dd256-8090-4d09-9b59-4c2993d908a6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dld123.com/q&a/index.php?cid=9719 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.917167 | 204 | 1.734375 | 2 |
Worry, Sadness, Nervousness, Restlessness
Depression and anxiety are sometimes hard to tell apart. While they may seem like completely different conditions, chronic depression can hide anxiety, while people who suffer from general feelings of anxiety may actually be experiencing a symptom of depression. Further, when people begin treatment for depression, the new focus on underlying issues sometimes causes anxiety symptoms, such as frequent heart palpitations, agitation and feelings of nervousness.
Which is it?
Many times, the same individual feels depressed and anxious, either at different times or at the same time. This can make it more challenging to decide whether the main issue is depression or an anxiety disorder. Symptoms that are the same in both conditions include
obsessive thoughts or rumination, panicky feelings, stomach upset and racing heartbeat. Symptoms like sadness,lethargy,hopelessness and lack of motivation are more characteristic of either.
Anxiety may be caused by depression
Some times anxiety escalates because of depression and the
behavior associated with being depressed. For instance, if depression causes a person to become isolated, he or she may become anxious about being alone. Depression-related anxiety can also result from financial worries due to the inability to concentrate and work effectively while depressed. Students who suffer from depression may experience anxiety about grades.
What to do
Teenage anxiety treatment is available and since both are related, they are often treated in similar ways. If medications are prescribed, SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) may be used because these medications target the brain chemical serotonin, which regulates mood. People with higher levels of serotonin experience less depressive symptoms and fewer feelings of anxiety. However, some medications for depression may make symptoms of anxiety worse because raising serotonin levels too much causes a condition called serotonin syndrome which may increase anxiety symptoms.
The pair both interfere with the limbic system of the brain – the area that regulates mood. Chemicals like serotonin and others, which are called neurotransmitters, create “good” feelings. When the brain cannot produce these chemicals for one reason or another, feelings of happiness and contentment diminish and feelings sadness, lethargy, anxiety and agitation increase. The goal, then, is to keep levels of mood-regulating neurotransmitters high. While medications can be helpful in this regard, you don’t necessarily need them.
Lifting Mood the Natural Way
Levels of serotonin increase when you exercise, eat a healthy diet and spend time outdoors. That’s why regular exercise and healthy eating habits are so important for people who suffer from either of these disorders. Interestingly, changing the way you think can also raise serotonin levels, which is why counseling and psychotherapy are often helpful.
Since the mind and body are closely connected, exercises that target both, like yoga, meditation and tai chi, can do wonders for people who suffer from chronic symptoms of the two. These practices work by calming the mind so that extremes of emotion can be avoided. Guided meditation and hypnosis are forms of mind-body therapy that focus on guiding you to change the thinking habits that contribute to negative emotions.
In some cases, herbal remedies can be beneficial to people who suffer from minor depression or anxiety. One of the most common herbs for depression is St. Johns Wort, which is available here. But, there are many other herbs as well as other nutritional approaches to boosting mood and alleviating anxiety.

More information about natural ways to beat this can be found in “Destroy Your Depression.” It provides ways to help the child with anxiety. You will also learn more about how you can use your thoughts and the power of your mind to manage your emotions.
This article provides an overview of how depression is related to anxiety and suggests ways to manage both conditions. This is serves for informational purposes only.

When I sit down to write, I’m assaulted by thoughts. “You have nothing to say,” comes first, coupled with an irresistible urge to check my email — even if I’ve checked it 36 times since breakfast. Next I hear, “You should give up the writer dream and pursue something more suitable — like being a professional chatterbox.” My final thought, before snapping my laptop shut is, “The key to productivity is a hot latte and cinnamon roll from the …” Before the thought completes itself, I’m halfway down the alley.
According to Stephen Pressfield’s book, The War of Art, Resistance is the derailing force we experience when we attempt any potentially good thing — a painting, an article, a marathon or a marriage. It strikes anyone who hopes to move to a higher plane — in relationships, spirituality, academics, creative work or business.
Although Pressfield isn’t explicitly Christian, his ideas resonate with Scripture. He calls Resistance evil because it deters us from our vocations. Even Paul understood this tension: “I can will what is right, but I can not do it” (Romans 8:18).
Living away from our vocations makes us miserable. A friend told me that Resistance played a role in the unraveling of her parents’ lives — her father was a gifted academic, her mother a talented musician. Neither one found a way to use their gifts. They both struggle with depression and her father is an alcoholic.
What would have happened if Hitler had pursued his dream to become an artist? At 18 he took his inheritance and moved to Vienna to attend art school. “Ever seen one of his paintings?” Pressfield writes. “Call it overstatement, but I’ll say it anyway: it was easier for Hitler to start World War II than it was for him to face a blank square of canvas.”
For all of us who are living one life (or even living toward one life — if you’re still in college) but secretly dreaming of another, here are a few steps for combating Resistance:
Many of us plunge into our dreams without anticipating Resistance, but dreaming is so different from doing. Dreaming requires only imagination, but doing requires effort, and an ability to push through unpleasant feelings — like dread, fear or disappointment.
My friend Tanya, a molecular biologist, experiences Resistance each morning when she arrives at the lab. Before the day begins, she’s dogged by the thought that her experiment will fail. She believes that the only way to make that horrible feeling subside is to get something done.
According to C.S. Lewis, this unpleasant experience marks a critical threshold. “It occurs when the boy who has been enchanted in the nursery by stories from the Odyssey buckles down to really learning Greek. It occurs when lovers have gotten married and begin the real task of learning to live together. In every department of life it marks the transition from dreaming aspiration to laborious doing.”
When Resistance comes we can take a deep breath, say a quick prayer and keep going. We can remember George MacDonald’s words, “Am I going to do a good thing? Then Father, into your hands, lest the enemy have me now.”
I used to have recurring nightmares. A sleep specialist told me that I could break the cycle by facing the enemy. When I dreamed of being chased by a masked man, I was supposed to stop running, turn around and look him in the eye. To my surprise, I was able to disarm him this way. As soon as I stopped running, the dreams stopped.
The same goes for Resistance — we need to expect it, to name it and to face it. We’re far less likely to capitulate when we recognize the face of our enemy.
As soon as you have a sense of your vocation (and ideally, some confirmation from others) claim it. Start making the mental shift from “I want to be an artist” to “I am an artist” or “I want to be scientist” to “I’m on the path to becoming one.” When you begin to call yourself the thing you hope to be, it becomes easier to do the things real artists or scientists do, like making time to paint each day or dragging yourself to the lab.
If you’re confused about your vocation, keep in mind the words of Frederick Buechner, and look for it at “the intersection of your own deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger.” As you move towards your calling, Resistance may become especially fierce. Moving away from it may have the opposite effect. “If you’re in Calcutta working with the Mother Teresa Foundation, and you’re thinking of bolting to launch a career in telemarketing … relax. Resistance will give you a free pass,” Pressfield writes.
Once you’ve begun to call yourself the thing you hope to become, expect Resistance, even from professionals in the field. When I was in sixth grade I admitted to a successful author that I hoped to be a writer. He looked at me like I had the chicken pox and needed to be quarantined. “Oh, well, being a writer is very, very, hard.”
I interpreted his statement to mean, “This job is reserved for extraordinarily talented people like myself. Wimpy smelts like you need not apply.”
It’s only been within the last three years that the dream has actually seemed possible, thanks to a couple I met who work full-time as freelance writers and graphic designers. I watched their articles and books evolve and they encouraged me to turn my own ideas into articles and books.
Another friend is training to be a psychologist and works with troubled youth. He often balks at all the phone calls he needs to make to parents, teachers and social service organizations. He breaks the spell by making a single phone call to anyone on the list. Often, he finds himself energized by the conversation and ready to make the next call.
Remember the molecular biologist I mentioned earlier? Russell is her fiancé. He’ll tell you the process of planning a wedding is riddled with Resistance. When they had to finally sit down and prepare 210 invitations, they overcame Resistance by making a party out of the task. Together they worked with friends into the wee hours stamping, addressing and sealing their invitations.
Take Small, Manageable Steps
Mandy is applying for a design job. She called me when she saw the opening and shared her first goal. She was planning to send an email to the design director the next day and wanted me to check-in with her to make sure she did it. Because the task of applying for this job is daunting, it helped to break the project into small steps.
Amy — an artist and mother of two small children — tells me she is training herself to draw for 30 minutes a day. She is not so concerned about the product as she is about the process. Whatever she produces — be it great or mediocre — she feels happy when she can say, “I beat Resistance today.”
In the end, the battle with Resistance is not just about personal achievement or spiritual progress. When we become the people we were designed to be, God uses us to change to the world.
And just in case you were thinking of giving in to your own form of resistance, here’s a kick in the pants, Pressfield- style:
“If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don’t do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children, you hurt me, you hurt the planet,” Pressfield writes. “You shame the angels who watch over you and you spite God Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts, for the sole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter further along its path back to God.”

(Bill Graham - Counterculture impresario)
Before Bill Graham came along, rock concerts were rather strange affairs. Usually a mish-mash of acts strung together to coincide with a new single or hit record, almost always playing a grand total of fifteen or twenty minutes tops, and all in all, pretty naive and hardly satisfying if you were remotely serious about your music.
But the Sixties changed all that. As Rock music evolved and went in different directions, so did the audiences taste. Like everything, it all evolved around the same time and what was the standard way of doing things no longer seemed relevant. Music was now being listened to and no longer listened at. Dancing to it was not all that important anymore, but having your mind blown was.
So Bill Graham was one of those people in the right place and at the right time and turned what was largely an archaic form of presentation that had been a throwback to the 1940s and before became something new and vital.
That he established the model for concert promotion which remains largely intact today is a testament to his foresight and canny ability to know what an audience gravitated towards. He was not universally loved, nor was he universally despised. He was a gifted impresario with a passion for the burgeoning counter-culture of the mid-1960's and many artists owe him a debt of gratitude even today, some 19 years after his death in a helicopter accident.
Part of the PBS series Day At Night, hosted by James Day from May 22, 1974, Graham gives a candid assessment of his journey as Concert Promoter. When the interview was given Graham had since closed his iconic Fillmore East and West theaters and he was able to look back on a frenetic career and offer a few tidbits on his view of the then-current music scene (in 1974).
Needless to say, if you're a musician and hadn't heard of him before, you probably owe part of your performing career to him and not even know it. | <urn:uuid:0746872b-a20f-42f9-b9e5-bdf3d29db6ae> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://crooksandliars.com/gordonskene/newstalgia-pop-chronicles-interview-bi | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.988343 | 409 | 1.539063 | 2 |
The aquatic therapy program is one of many orthopedic physical therapy programs offered through Parkview Therapy Services. Aquatic therapy may be a great solution for patients dealing with back, hip and knee pain as well as other orthopedic conditions. Available only at our clinic within the Lehman YMCA, where our partnership with the YMCA allows us access to pool facilities.
How does aquatic therapy work?
Aquatic therapy uses the buoyancy of water to allow patients to exercise and rehabilitate with less stress on injured joints and muscles. Some patients or conditions may not respond as well to land-based rehabilitation, where the stress of body weight on the injured joint or muscle may hinder recovery.
In our aquatic therapy pool inside the Lehman YMCA, you’ll exercise in warm, 86 degree water under the direction of one of our certified physical therapists.
Parkview Therapy Services offers direct access to orthopedic physical therapy - no referral necessary.
Simply call 260-266-4007 to get started today.
What are the main benefits of aquatic therapy?
With the buoyancy of water taking a significant amount of weight off of injured body parts, aquatic therapy allows patients to increase strength in an environment with reduced stress on joints compared to training on land.
Aquatic therapy also allows for an increased range of motion without painful or aggressive stretching.
Exercising in the water requires patients to stabilize their whole body, so aquatic therapy also improves balance, core stability and posture as patients use many different muscles to stay upright and balanced.
Patients also may see decreased overall pain due to the warmth of the water, desensitization of overactive nerves and muscles due to the water pressure, and decreased swelling in the limbs.

Separation is an act or instance of separating oneself or a state of being separated.
It is a line or a point of parting, a gap, hole, rent.
The synonyms of separation also means: a break, departure, detachment, disconnection, disengagement, disjunction, dissociation, dissolution, disunion, division, divorce, leave-taking, gap, rupture, split-up.
From our definitions and synonyms we have been able to define separation as an overall act of isolating ourselves.
As Christians God is particular about our lives and how we live it, and with who are we living it with. God specifically gave us some warnings/instructions in the first five books of the Bible, of things, people and places we must separate ourselves from.
From our text 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, we are able to understand certain principles of God. This is making us to understand that some things will not work together because they are two opposite things heading in an opposite direction. E.g. Light & Darkness.
This series of Teachings will make us understand that separation is not just a thing of the mind; it’s also a physical achievement.
These teachings will also make us understand that our flesh and spirit must work together for us to be able to live a life pleasing to God.
God Has given us lots of promises 2 Corinthians 7:1, but there are conditions attached to them. 2 Corinthians 6; 14-16.
The base lines for these blessings are Separation/Holiness.
– Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14-16.
It is wrong for Gods people to join alliance with the wicked because they belong to different and opposite camp.
Our relationship and life style must be with caution, in accordance to Gods principles. We as children of God should move along with Gods children. ‘Like Begat Like’.
We should not yoke ourselves with friendship and acquaintance with wicked men and unbelievers. Although we cannot wholly avoid seeing, hearing and being with such people, yet we should never choose them for our closet circles.
It’s impossible to join righteousness and unrighteousness, light and darkness, fire and water. What comfortable communions have these two opposite things?
– Come out from among them and be ye separate from them and touch no the Unclean things. 2 Corinthians 6:17
The passage clearly states that we should come out from among them from among them and keep a long distance/gap so we won’t be contaminated.
Touch not the unclean things so we won’t be defiled.
– Separation from the things of the World.
Be crucified to the world; be mortified to the things, affairs and enticement of it. Galatians 2:20.
Our love should be reserved for God only.
Our hearts is narrow and cannot contain both loves.
The world draws down the heart from God. So the more the love of the world prevails, the more the love of God dwindles and decays.
The love of this world is not form the father (God Almighty). There is a great affinity and alliance between this world and the flesh. This world intrudes and encroaches upon the flesh and there by acting against Gods plans and purpose for our lives.
The things of this world are divided into 3.
· The lust of the flesh 1 John 2:16.
It is subjectively the humor and appetite of indulging fleshy pleasures and objectively all those things that excite and inflame the pleasures of the flesh.
· The lust of the eyes.
The eyes are delighted with treasures of.
~ Lust of women Matthew 5:28.
~ Eyes full of adultery, even men with men and women with women. 2 Pt 2:14, Rom 1:18-28.
~ Covetousness Ps 10:8.
~ All things Desired. Eccl 2:10.
~ All kinds of evil Mt 6:23; 7:22.
~ Idol worshiping. Ezk 6:9; 18:6-15.
· Pride of life.
Which are: Self-righteousness Job 32:1; Position Gen 8:5, Ezk 28:5, 1 Tim 3:6; Power Lev 26:19; Riches Ps 39:6.
The lust and appetite to these things must be mortified and subdued.
1 John 2:17 says “ the world passes away and the lust thereof”
But “he that does the will of the father abides forever”
2 Corinthians 6:18. God Has promise to be a father to them and they will be His children. What greater honor and happiness can be compared to this?
10 blessings of doing Gods will.
· Entrance into the kingdom Mt 7:21.
· Keeps you from falling Mt 7:24-29.
· Confirmation that one’s deeds are of God Jn 3:27.
· Answers to prayers Jn 9:31.
· Being blessed James 1:22-25.
· Never moved Ps 15:1-5.
· Abide forever 1 Jn 2:17.
· The new birth 1Jn 2:29.
· Righteousness like Christ 1Jn 3:7.
· Confirmation of sonship 3 Jn 1:11.

Have you ever wondered what the actual horrors of WWI are like? Erich Maria Remarque depicts these horrors through the eyes of a soldier named Paul Bäumer. Paul Bäumer, the narrator and protagonist in All Quiet on the Western Front, is a character who develops extensively within the course of the novel. As a young man, he is persuaded to join the German Army during World War I. Paul quickly learns that it is not as glorious as the military leader says it is. This three-year ordeal is marked by Paul’s short, but tragic trek into adulthood as he learns to cope with the trials and tribulations of war. In the wake of a struggle, which claims millions, Paul loses his precious innocence as he is further isolated from society and engulfed by bloodshed. Sadly, the book ends with the death of Paul, but not before he witnesses the painful death of his entire classmates who enlisted with him. Paul’s evolution throughout Remarque’s novel is a result of Man’s ability to adapt through the most horrific experiences.
Paul’s experiences in combat shatter his former misconceptions of war; consequently, he gains the ability to reflect on events of his own accord. His naive ideas are severely challenged when he first witnesses the ugly truth of war. “The first bombardment showed us our mistake, and under it, the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces”(13). Paul’s first engagement in combat reveals that everything he was taught as a young recruit was lies; consequently, he can now form his own conclusions. Through the ongoing course of the war, Paul comes to grips with the reality of the situation. “They are strong and our desire is strong but they are unattainable, and we know it”(121). Paul realizes that the soldiers’ former lives are all but distant memories. His maturing personality gives him the insight to see past the facade of war and expose it for what it truly is.

Paul loses his innocence and childhood during the war; as a result, he becomes a man. When Paul and his companions encounter some French women, they exchange food for sexual intercourse. “We unwrap our parcels and hand them over to the women. Their eyes shine, it is obvious they are hungry”(148). Through this transaction, Paul uses the women as an outlet for his sexual urges. Shortly after this rendezvous, Paul receives a leave of absence; however, he finds it difficult to leave the war behind. “Speak to me – take me up – take me, Life of my Youth – you who are care-free, beautiful – receive me again – “(172). Paul can no longer conjure up the feelings of happiness that accompanied his youth, in essence, his childhood is lost. The war has stripped Paul of his innocence and taken away everything that he treasured.
The war has immersed Paul completely and he can no longer survive without it as it becomes the focus of his entire life. When Paul is still on leave, he feels alienated from society. “I find I do not belong here anymore, it is a foreign world”(168). Paul’s further involvement in war separates him from the life that he cherished so greatly. When Paul returns to the trenches from leave, he finds great tranquillity among his companions. “They are more to me than life, these voices, they are more than motherliness and more than fear: they are the strongest, most comforting thing there is anywhere: they are the voices of my comrades”(212). Paul’s friends give a new meaning to his life and the role of his family shifts to that of his friends. War has claimed Paul Bäumer’s soul and he can no longer function without it.
Paul Bäumer’s experiences in war cause him to develop and change throughout the novel, his stance on many issues change as a result. He has torn away from a sheltered childhood and placed in a devastating war that causes him to see through the illusion of a society created by his superiors. This revelation is evidence that Paul has become a man; however, with this new maturity comes a loss of his purity of heart. Paul can no longer distinguish himself from society; instead, he is perverted by war and becomes its victim as he slowly subsides to its rule. Paul Bäumer’s enduring spirit causes him to adapt in order to survive an abyss of death. Knowing about the horrors these soldiers went through in WWI should enlighten you about the true aspects of war, but we all hope to never experience the terror of man’s most horrendous acts of hatred.

Six years ago, the world lost a musical soul that will forever leave an imprint on your heart. Amy Winehouse was a young singer-songwriter at the peak of her career when it all came tumbling down. Tragically, we lost her but her music truly does live on.
Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait is a personal and intimate exhibition about Amy Winehouse, curated by the Jewish Museum London with help from her brother Alex and sister-in-law Riva. The Winehouse family gave the Jewish Museum of London unprecedented access to Amy’s belongings, including her guitar, record collection and iconic outfits to bring the exhibition together.
“This isn’t an attempt to tell people what my sister was like, or what kind of people my grandparents were, or to force my opinions on you. This is a snapshot of a girl who was, to her deepest core, simply a little Jewish kid from North London with a big talent who, more than anything, just wanted to be true to her heritage,” Alex Winehouse said.
The exhibition focuses on Amy’s Jewish roots, family life, adolescence and her early career with captions specially written captions by her brother which are warm, affectionate and revealing, making the exhibition truly unique. This text is then juxtaposed with extracts from an essay Amy wrote at the age of 14 during her audition at the Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Jewish Museum of Australia will present a substantial music program alongside the exhibition including dedicated performances celebrating the singer’s legacy at Melbourne Music Week, a tribute show at St Kilda Festival and a series of Thursday late-night events at the museum with performances by local artists covering Amy’s varied musical genres – jazz, soul, gospel, Motown and hip-hop.
Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait honours her memory and accomplishments, as well as providing a personal portrait of her family life and Jewish heritage, which were not always visible in her public life.
Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait will be showing at the Jewish Museum of Australia from October 22nd until March 25th 2018.

At his engaging blog Mutual Enrichment, Fr John Hunwicke has a good note about Pius V and Quo primum. He points out a common error or two about that famous Apostolic Constitution.
Quo primum was the instrument of promulgation of the first “Tridentine” missal, the 1570 Missale Romanum, which – with alterations – is in use today in the form of the 1962 edition (the Extraordinary Form).
Fr. H says (in part):
There is a myth which is endlessly repeated … I groan every time I read it … about the liturgical reforms of S Pius V. It goes like this:
(1) He wished to standardise and centralise. So he ordered everybody to use his new edition of the Roman Missal (but he did permit those with rites more than 200 years old to keep them).
This is pretty well the opposite of what his legislation ordered. He:
(2) Ordered those with such old rites to keep them. But, if they positively wanted to adopt his new edition instead, he permitted them to adopt it AS LONG AS THE BISHOP AND THE UNANIMOUS CHAPTER WERE IN AGREEMENT.
If you don’t want to believe me, I suggest you read the actual TEXT of Quo primum yourself and find out. DO NOT READ SOMEBODY’S SUMMARY OF THE BULL, BECAUSE THAT WILL (almost certainly) JUST TELL YOU THE MYTH.
Fr. H has more on Pius V HERE
In 2009, I did a PODCAzT about Quo primum which included a reading of the whole document. HERE
BTW… Pius V did not intend with Quo primum to make the 1570 Missale Romanum the Latin Church’s missal “forever”. Often claimed.

GhIPSS, Ghana's banking association, launched GhanaPay, a mobile money service designed to increase financial inclusion. According to the GhIPSS website, the mobile money service is provided by local “universal banks, rural banks, and savings and loans companies to individuals and businesses.”
Anyone with a cell phone can use it, regardless of whether they have a traditional bank account. The service is similar to the existing mobile money service, but also offers additional banking services. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of Ghana, praised this initiative as a help to boost financial inclusion, especially for the unbanked.
During the launch of the service, the Bank of Ghana Governor Ernest Addison said that instant payment transactions have increased from 420,000 cedis in 2016 to 31.4 billion cedis by 2021 as a result of accelerated digital transformation and consumer preferences for frictionless and convenient payment options. In addition, the ratio of currency in circulation as a proportion of GDP dropped from 6.8 % in 2016 to 4.7 % in 2021, while the cheque usage per capita fell from 25.67 in 2016 to 18.9 in 2021.
"By establishing this common GhanaPay mobile wallet, the cost of testing any new technology for each bank is reduced and allows new ways of doing business. Indeed, this is an exciting development for Ghana’s payment systems landscape and demonstrates how collaboration with the banking sector can proffer solutions for the transformation and deepening of the payments ecosystem,” Addison added. | <urn:uuid:35c659e9-271c-4132-b423-0bb3b8b2fb39> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.telecomreviewafrica.com/en/articles/general-news/2850-ghana-launches-new-mobile-money-service | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.931297 | 313 | 1.960938 | 2 |

Seeing as I have a Political Science degree rotting on my shelf, I figured I’d make a big-picture post about my view on the impact of YouTube during this election cycle.
By providing the ability to distribute video without concerns over bandwidth and storage space, YouTube has had two very distinct impacts on the way the “netroots” groups operate during this cycle. While “netroots” is a rather stupid term, in this case I’m using it to refer to the politically aware, internet savvy folks who troll sites ranging from DailyKos to (gulp) FreeRepublic.
I want to look at two cases to show by example. The first is the case in which a candidate is able to audition ads to the entire country, without making an ad buy. They can then use the ad to raise funds. In this way, folks can give money directly in response to what they believe is effective advertising, rather than giving money in the hopes that the candidate applies it wisely. Whether or not this is a good thing for the political media landscape is yet to be decided.
An example is this ad, from the Ohio 2nd (the fighting second!). The Wuslin campaign has made very effective use of YouTube to get their ads out and to solicit feedback. Other groups and candidates are making similar use of YouTube. Unlike in the past, this isn’t a case of individuals recording ads from TV and posting them, these ads are being posted by the campaigns themselves. The global availability of these ads, combined with candidate websites and political blogs, has made every race a national race.
The second way in which YouTube has become a force in the election is the ability to quickly and easily share video of politicians being stupid. Before this election, a politician would say something stupid, like “We’ve never been stay the course,” and the website hosting the video would get hammered and knocked offline. But now, when someone says “Macaca,” or talks about “the Google” the video can live on and on without the hosting provider pulling the plug. The impact of this shouldn’t be discounted.
Will YouTube decide the elections? Definitely not – just like blogs didn’t decide the election in 2004. But what it will do is increase interest in candidates who might otherwise not get significant exposure. Thoughts? | <urn:uuid:62e00e3c-f407-4186-92af-65a069df5bcb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.discretecosine.com/politics_in_the/?shared=email&msg=fail | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.965309 | 488 | 1.679688 | 2 |
What is ISO and how does it help your organisation?
What is ISO?
This is a question that I have been asked many times. The more relevant question is Who are the ISO?
The ISO – the international Organisation for Standardisation, is an international body based in Switzerland that develops and publishes a substantial catalogue of industrial and commercial international standards across the globe.
These standards are compiled by technical experts an external stakeholders, who collaborate using their shared knowledge and experiences to produce consensus based standards that meet the needs of society and the requirements of the business sector. A standard can be described as a set of rules that enable an organisation to complete a set of tasks in an efficient and systematic way.
The most popular standards are :
- ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Standard
- ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Standards
- ISO 45001:2018 Health and Safety Standard
What is the ISO9001:2015 Quality Management standard?
This standard sets out the requirements for a quality management system. A quality management system is a method of defining how an organisation can meet the requirements of its customers and other stakeholders affected by its activities.
Some key requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard include the following elements:
- Focus on customer service and continual improvement of the quality of the products and services provided by the organisation.
- Enhanced leadership involvement in the quality management system, stronger focus on stakeholders and the wider context of an organisation to fit the evolving needs of any business.
- Delivery of a systematic process approach to the quality management system.
- Identifying and managing the key risks and opportunities within the business.
- Creating a set of objectives to mitigate the risks and maximise the business opportunities.
- Setting benchmarking targets to improve competitiveness.
- Continuously evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the QMS via it’s process monitoring mechanisms and via the Issue, Risk and Objective Management processes and reviews
ISO 9001:2015 Clause 4.4 Quality management system and its processes
The standard states that an organisation must implement a QMS including the processes needed to demonstrate compliance with ISO 9001:2015. The implementation of the process approach is an effective tool that enhances customer satisfaction by implementing customer specifications.
A QMS is a collection of business processes focused on consistently meeting customer requirements and enhancing their satisfaction. A process based QMS enables an organisation to identify, measure, control and improve the fundamental business processes that will enable improved business performance. This process approach enables an organisation to plan the interaction of its processes from one step of a process to another.
The standard is not explicit in detailing what form the processes should take. However the following requirements are mandatory.
- The inputs required to the processes and who supplies them.
- The sequence and interaction of the processes.
- The activities undertaken within the processes.
- The outputs from the processes and who receives them.
- The monitoring undertaken to ensure conformity of the processes
One examples we use is the SIPOC model. A SIPOC is a tool used to identify all relevant elements of a process by defining the inputs and outputs of one or more processes in table form. SIPOC stands for suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, and customers which form the columns of the SIPOC table.
The control and management of the processes within an organisation can be facilitated using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle which promotes the focus on risk based thinking which can result in the mitigation of business risks and the promotion and delivery of business opportunities.
ISO 9001:2015 Risk based thinking
The organisation is responsible for the application of risk based thinking when determining the actions required to address risks and opportunities.
A organisation is required to identify the top risks to the business and implement strategies to mitigate the threats and maximise the opportunities to ensure it meets its business objectives. The ISO standard states that there is no formal requirement to document business risk strategies or risk processes. Organisations can decide on a strategy that best suits their needs based on the level of risk and other guidance standards. One popular method is the development and maintenance of a risk log. This log encompasses the outputs of the Organisational Context Review and all other risks identified through other QMS processes. All risks are prioritised and have response strategies intended to:
- Ensure that the QMS can achieve its intended results.
- Enhance desirable effects.
- Prevent, or reduce, undesired effects.
- Achieve improvement.
How can an ISO Quality Management System help an organisation.
- Enables an organisation to improve the quality of its goods and services.
- Assists an organisation to drive growth, cut costs and increase profits.
- Can enhance your reputation, attracting new customers and open up export markets for your goods and services.
- Put your customers first, making sure you consistently meet their needs and enhance their satisfaction. This can lead to more repeat business, new clients and increased activity for your organisation.
- Work in a more efficient way that will sharpen your business processes and increase efficiency.
- Help your organisation to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements.
- Gives your business a competitive edge. Essential for e-tender contracts. Preferred for health service, government and county council contracts.
- Enhance your credibility and secure customer confidence
- Helps address organizational risks and opportunities in a structured manner | <urn:uuid:bef28617-de7c-456c-b701-786c28fc2a9e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://parkquality.ie/blog/what-is-iso-and-how-does-it-help-your-organisation/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.911733 | 1,099 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Road fatalities in Brunei.
Submission Date: 2011 Journal
This paper investigates the pattern of road fatalities in Brunei. Road fatalities reached a peak in 1993 when 79 people died on the roads. Various road safety initiatives were then taken to reduce the road toll; this worked well and reduced road fatalities until 2003, when they began to increase. This implies that there has been a recent change in the pattern of road fatalities in Brunei. This has been verified by testing long-term and short-term regression coefficients. The coefficient of a policy variable, lax enforcement of traffic laws, indicates that road fatalities are increasing due to nonimplementation of traffic laws, together with a larger number of young drivers and new vehicle registrations.
In recent years Brunei’s road fatality rates have not been significantly different from those in Victoria (Australia), and they are significantly lower than in Malaysia and Singapore. Brunei can thus be considered a model for the trajectory of road safety in South-East Asian countries. There is further scope to reduce road fatalities if Brunei introduces and implements additional effective road safety strategies incorporating the Safe System approach to road safety, together with enforcing the existing road safety measures more strictly. | <urn:uuid:d297a0d5-d6c7-4b63-864e-77f90e7c1935> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://acrs.org.au/article/road-fatalities-in-brunei/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.950561 | 252 | 2.5625 | 3 |

How to Use Loctite on Wheel Lug Nutsby Jen Davis
Loctite Threadlocker products can be used on automotive lug nuts to keep them tightly secured on your vehicle. However, you have to be careful what type of Loctite you use on your lug nuts or you may not be able to remove them ever again. Use a medium-strength Loctite Threadlocker, such as Threadlocker Blue 242, on your car's lug nuts. Loctite Theadlocker Blue 242 can be removed using hand tools.
Remove the lug nuts from your car with a lug wrench.
Thoroughly wash and dry the lug nuts and the bolts that the lug nuts attach to. Loctite will not form a proper seal if there's dirt or other debris on the area where it's being applied.
Remove Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 from its package and shake it thoroughly. Apply Loctite to both the lug nut and the bolt according to the manufacturer's directions, making sure to get Loctite into the threads. Don't apply Loctite on the first three threads.
Place the lug nuts back on the bolts and tighten them thoroughly using lug wrench. Allow to set for 10 minutes. Loctite will fully cure within 24 hours of application.
- Spilled or misplaced Loctite can be cleaned up immediately using a damp cloth. Cured Loctite needs to be soaked and scrubbed with a wire brush to be removed.
Things You'll Need
- Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242
- Rag or towel
- Lug wrench
- If you use the wrong kind of Loctite on your car or truck's lug nuts, you're going to have a difficult time removing your rims and tires the next time you get a flat or your tire tread wears out. Don't use Loctite Threadlocker Red on your lug nuts --- this version is designed to create a permanent seal, and you won't be able to change your tires.

What is cloud web hosting actually
Cloud hosting is a quite popular phrase nowadays. Nevertheless, only a few know what it does in fact mean. Most of the hosting providers speculate eagerly about services labeled as being 'cloud hosting'. Mainly the cPanel website hosting and cPanel reseller hosting merchandisers. Due to the total shortage of novel business views, the cPanel web hosts are simply using trendy words, trying to entice more web hosting customers with crafty marketing methods.
cPanel - a one server webspace hosting solution
To put it briefly, cPanel is a one server website hosting solution. One web server serves all web page hosting services at the very same time. On the other hand, the cloud hosting platform demands each single web hosting service, like disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, etc. to be served by different hosts of leading edge web servers in a cluster. All the clusters bring about the so called 'cloud'. With cPanel, the aforementioned web hosting services are all being served at the same time by 1 web server. This implies that no 'clouds' can be seen around cPanel-based web page hosting merchandisers. Not even a single cloud...
The gigantic marketing fraud with cloud web page hosting plans
Watch out for the many phony affirmations promising you 'cloud hosting' packages, mostly propagated by cPanel hosting providers. When a cPanel web hosting firm arrogantly asserts that a 'cloud' web site hosting service is being offered, examine whether it's not a mist or a fog for one thing. Practically everyone speculates with the term 'cloud', ultimately counting on the fact that the majority of the clients are not aware of what it does actually signify.
Let's be more optimistic and return to the genuine cloud hosting services.
Hepsia - a cloud web site hosting Control Panel platform
Hepsia is a last generation cloud webspace hosting solution combined with an advanced user-friendly website hosting Control Panel. Both, the cloud site hosting solution and the corresponding Control Panel are built by ResellersPanel.com - a competent reseller web hosting trader since year 2003. Sadly, it's an undoubtedly rare occurrence to discover a web hosting provider distributing a cloud web page hosting solution on the market. For unknown reasons, Google prefers cPanel-based webspace hosting wholesalers chiefly. This is the reason why we believe it's commendable for those people who demand a website hosting platform to be a little bit more aware of the Hepsia cloud web space hosting platform.
Hepsia - the multi-server cloud web page hosting environment
Each site hosting service globule in Hepsia's 'cloud' is tackled by an individual set of servers, dedicated solely to the particular service at hand, sharing the load produced. In this way, the site hosting CP is being attended to by an individual bunch of web servers, which serve the web hosting CP only and nothing else. There is another host of web servers for the mail, one more for the disk space, another for the backup, one more for the statistics, another for the MySQL databases, one more for the PostgreSQL databases, etc. All these groups of servers run as one complete site hosting service, the so-called 'cloud web hosting' service.

The Argentine currency ended trading on Friday, the first month of 2014, at 8.01 Pesos to the US dollar with an accumulated devaluation in January of 18.63%, the greatest loss in a single month since 2002. However market analysts described the situation as a depreciation 'sustained and managed' by the government of President Cristina Fernandez.
The peso devaluation concentrated on 23/24 January when the exchange rate jumped from 6.92 to 8.0183 Pesos to the dollar with peaks of 8.40. But then the Central bank intervened and balanced the dollar exchange rate in the range of 8 Pesos. Since January 2013 when the US dollar was selling at 4.9768 Pesos the Argentine currency lost 60.95% of its value in the official market.
But despite the soaring price for the dollar, according to primary data, the Central bank on Friday lost 170 million dollars, totaling in January an erosion of 2.499 million dollars which means the level of international reserves now stands at 28.100bn. January is now the worst month in eight years for reserves.
The reserves January drop represents a loss of 8.17% compared to the end of December 2013, a year in which the central bank had its worst performance since the Kirchner couple took office in 2003. Last year the Argentine central bank lost 12.691bn dollars.
Taking the 28.1bn declared at the end of January, international reserves loss accumulated 19.423bn (40.87% less) compared to the 47.5bn of 31 October 2011, when they stood at 52.564bn dollars.
However the efforts of the Cristina Fernandez government to stabilize the official dollar with the daily drainage of reserves was not sufficient to impede the rise of the dollar exchange rate in the parallel or blue market, which closed trading on Friday, and January, at 12.65 Pesos to the greenback. This represents a 26.5% devaluation of the Peso in the blue market during the single month of January.
Likewise the gap between the official rate and the blue market stands at 58%, in a month when the government partially lifted the clamp on holding and saving dollars, even paying an extra 20% over the official rate of Pesos, and despite certain strong limitations as to who can purchase and the amount purchased.
Those Argentines who managed to overcome the bureaucratic barriers imposed by AFIP, the tax office, before buying dollars with a limit of 2.000, had to pay 9.62 Pesos which represents a 31.50% gap with the blue dollar market.
The Argentine government is trapped with scarce hard currency, strong tourism demand and the energy bill which this year is estimated could climb, following the devaluation, 45% equivalent to 13bn dollars.
The large influx of dollars can only begin to appear sometime in March and onwards when farmers begin selling summer crops. With no access to international money markets and growing demand for dollars, the Argentine government can only delay imports, and blame exporters and farmers for not marketing what is left from the previous crop, which according to these organizations is not that much, and equally important it is hard currency any moment.
But farmers were quick to reply: “In a market where all its inputs are tied to an unknown future dollar price, with an inflation rate surpassing 30%” it is only understandable that some farmers have decided to stockpile their grain production.
The farmers united in the Liaison Board added that “the government is looking for someone to blame for its own mistakes, as it always does.”
They urged President Cristina Fernández administration to carry out “an anti-inflationary policy,” to stop “wasting the national reserves” and to stimulate “the production giving signs of trust.”
On Friday early morning at his daily press conference Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich questioned “top agricultural producers” for not selling their output due to “miser and speculative” reasons. | <urn:uuid:16b5d3cf-6a0f-42f7-b0d0-3680bc9e7dbe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://en.mercopress.com/2014/02/01/argentina-s-financial-hot-summer-record-devaluation-of-the-peso-record-loss-of-reserves | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.955097 | 826 | 1.6875 | 2 |

In a press release today, Iowa State University (ISU) announced that “it has concluded its membership in the Association of American Universities (AAU)“. For those not steeped in the arcane associations which drive meaning and relevance in much of higher education, the AAU in question is an exclusive research collective which provides no actual benefits to member schools, but nonetheless commands and confers a great deal of prestige in an industry which values tokens of esteem to an embarrassing degree. To that point, while ISU is putting the best possible gloss on this breakup, the truth is that Iowa State would not abandon its AAU membership if it was not already under threat of imminent expulsion.
However this split transpired, it should also not come as a surprise to anyone at Iowa State. From a 5/10/19 blog post titled The Iowa Board of Regents and the AAU:
For arcane reasons related to the AAU membership indicators, ISU is also at significantly greater risk of expulsion, and may have to contribute significantly greater revenues than UI to improve their own membership benchmarks.
It takes a lot of time, effort and most of all money to keep up with the membership requirements of the AAU. While both Iowa State and the University of Iowa used the Iowa Board of Regents’ 2017 Tuition Task Force as a pretext to raise the necessary funds — albeit by brutalizing students and families — ISU was already in a precarious position. (More on all that here.)
While ISU can now plausibly claim that it voluntarily withdrew for principled reasons, as opposed to having been expelled, the fact remains that AAU membership does have meaning in higher-ed, and loss of AAU status will inevitably impact the university in negative ways, including disinterest by top-flight academics and researchers who care about such things. In terms of the education that students receive, however, loss of AAU membership will not only have little or no negative effect, in a just world the university would lower the cost of tuition now that it will not have to shoulder the steep cost of funding the stringent AAU membership metrics. Because there is a 0.0% chance of Iowa State doing anything other than pocketing the resulting savings, however, there are in fact no heroes in this academic divorce.
As for the University of Iowa, not only is it not an immediate risk of expulsion, but ISU’s withdrawal may compel a sense of urgency about maintaining UI’s membership, if only for reasons of vanity and pride. To that end I would not be at all surprised if the Iowa Board of Regents further disconnected the cost of tuition at the three state universities, which it began several years ago by allowing ISU and UI to increase tuition faster than the (much smaller) University of Northern Iowa. As foreshadowed when J. Bruce Harreld was installed by fraud as president of UI, the flagship University of Iowa seems destined to become the school for rich kids, while ISU continues its evolution into little more than a research and development institution for the agriculture industry, and a trade school for entry-level corporate employees.

Mountain Home Air Force Base
Mountain Home Air Force Base (1942-Active) - A United States Air Force Base first established in 1942 as Mountain Home Army Air Base at Mountain Home, Elmore County, Idaho. Also known as Mountain Home Army Air Field. Renamed Mountain Home Air Force Base in 1948. Active Air Force Base.
Construction began in November 1942 and the airfield officially opened on 7 Aug 1943. Training began for U.S. Army Air Force crews for the B-24 Liberator bomber. The first group was the 470th Bombardment Group (Heavy), which trained at Mountain Home from May 1943 until January 1944, when that unit moved to Tonopah AAF Nevada. The 490th Bombardment Group (Heavy) replaced the 470th and trained B-24 crews until it deployed to England in April 1944. The 494th Bombardment Group then replaced the 490th, still training Liberator crews.
In October 1945 the base was placed in an inactive status.
Post World War II
The base remained inactive for over three years, until December 1948, when the newly created U.S. Air Force reopened the base. The 4205th Air Base Group was activated on 12 Dec 1948 to prepare the newly re-designated Mountain Home Air Force Base for operational use.
In 1953, the base was transferred to Strategic Air Command which assigned the 9th Bombardment Wing to Mountain Home in May 1953 and began flying B-29 bombers and KB-29H refueling aircraft. The 9th began converting to the new B-47 Stratojet bomber and the KC-97 tanker in September 1954.
On 5 Feb 1960, Colonel Paul H. Symbol of the Walla Walla Corps of Engineers District opened bids for the construction of the three Titan missile sites attached to Mountain Home AFB. Each of the three sites was to have three missile silos and a control module. Of the six bidders, the joint venture of Kaiser-Raymond-Macco-Puget Sound came in with a low winning bid of approximately $28.9 million. Notice to proceed was granted on 9 Feb 1960.
Contract oversight was switched in October 1960 from the Walla Walla District to the Titan I Directorate of the Corps of Engineers Ballistic Missile Construction Office (CEBMCO) in Los Angeles as part of a national centralization of missile construction oversight.
By 30 May 1962, there were 246 modifications to the construction contract and some of these modifications required expensive reconstruction. The final construction cost exceeded $51 million.
The 569th Strategic Missile Squadron was activated on 1 Jun 1961 and the contractor team completed work on the sites before the 1 Apr 1962 deadline. On 16 May 1964, Defense Secretary McNamara directed an accelerated phaseout of Titan I and Atlas ICBMs. As a result, the 569th was deactivated in June 1965.
In late 1965, the U.S. Air Force began phasing out the aging B-47 bomber and announced plans to bring the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing to Mountain Home. The 389th, 390th, and 391st Tactical Fighter Squadrons had returned from South Vietnam, joined the 347th, and began converting to F-111A aircraft.
366th Fighter Wing
The 366th Fighter Wing (in various designations) was the host unit at Mountain Home for over 35 years, following its return from the Vietnam War in late 1972.
Before the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing's arrival at Mountain Home, the 389th, 390th, and 391st Tactical Fighter Squadrons had returned from South Vietnam, joined the 347th, and began converting to F-111A aircraft. For the first time since it left for Vietnam, the wing once again had its three original flying units.
In 1969, Det. 1, 320 BW from Mather Air Force Base began an alert mission at Mountain Home AFB with two B-52 bombers and two KC-135 tankers. The unit disbanded in the spring of 1975 and returned to Mather AFB.
Operations continued unchanged for several years. The wing tested its readiness in August 1976 when a border incident in Korea prompted the U.S. to augment its military contingent in South Korea as a show of force. The 366th deployed a squadron of 20 F-111 fighters, which reached Korea only 31 hours after receiving launch notification. Tensions eased shortly afterward and the detachment returned home.
In early 1991, the Air Force announced that the 366th would become the Air Force's premier "air intervention" composite wing. The wing would grow with the addition of a squadron of EF-111A Raven electronic warfare aircraft and a squadron of B-1B Lancer bombers to become a dynamic, five squadron wing with the ability to deploy rapidly and deliver integrated combat airpower.
The air intervention composite wing's rapid transition from concept to reality began in October 1991 when Air Force redesignated the wing as the 366th Wing. The wing's newly reactivated "fighter squadrons" became part of the composite wing in March 1992. The 389th Fighter Squadron began flying the dual-role F-16C Fighting Falcon, while the 391st Fighter Squadron was equipped with the new F-15E Strike Eagle. These two squadrons provide Gunfighters round-the-clock precision strike capability.
Over the Horizon Backscatter Radar (OTH-B) System
The FPS-118 OTH-B System was developed in the 1970s and 1980s to provide all-altitude, long-range surveillance of aerial approaches to the United States. OTH-B radar systems use the ionosphere to refract outgoing radar waves and return signals, enabling the system to detect and track targets that would otherwise be hidden by the curvature of the earth, at ranges of up to 1,800 nautical miles. Original design configuration included plans for three OTH-B radar systems in the continental United States (East Coast, West Coast, and Central facing south) and one in Alaska. Each OTH-B system consists of an operations center, a receive site, and a transmit site, all geographically separated to prevent interference.
The West Coast OTH-B was headquartered at Mountain Home AFB where computers and communications gear located in a purpose-built operations building sent instructions to a transmitter site near Christmas Valley, OR, and received radar data from a Receiver site near Tulelake, CA, in the Modoc National Forest.
The West Coast system was installed but never became operational because of the breakup of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. The West Coast System was officially placed in caretaker status and as it became clear that it was technologically outdated and unsupportable the equipment was removed and the remote sites put up for sale. In 2005 the large OTH-B Operations Center on Mountain Home AFB was turned over to the base for use as office space. By 2009 the base was using the building to house elements of the 366th Operations Group.
Post 9-11 Operations
Following the terrorist attacks on 11 Sep 2001, the resultant initiation of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF), the 366th Wing once again got the call. While the 34th Bomb Squadron deployed to Diego Garcia as the B-1 component of the 28th Air Expeditionary Wing, the wing sent a Base Operations Support package to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, to transform the bare base into a fully functional airfield for large-scale combat operations. In October 2001, the 391st Fighter Squadron deployed to Al Jaber Air Base, Kuwait, while the 389th Fighter Squadron went to Al Udeid in November.
Following the wing's return from Southwest Asia, the Air Force began consolidating its B-1 Lancer and KC-135 Stratotanker forces. This led to the reallocation of the wing's bombers and tankers. The 22 ARS' aircraft began transferring to McConnell AFB, Kansas, in May 2002 and the squadron inactivated the following August. The 34 BS' B-1Bs began moving to Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, in June and the squadron officially moved in September. Following the departure of these assets, the Air Force re-designated the 366th as a Fighter Wing. With these changes, the wing's 10-year mission as the Air Force's only standing air expeditionary wing came to an end. A continued reconstruction of the 366 Fighter Wing was official with the 2005 base realignment, coinciding with the large scale integration of the 150+ F-22 Raptors. After the F-16 departure, Mountain Home AFB was chosen to become an F-15E installation because of its ideal training terrain range that is suited for air-to-ground, and air-to-air training missions.
The base was the site of a Thunderbirds crash on 14 Sep 2003 in which no one was killed. Captain Chris Stricklin, flying Thunderbird 6, attempted a "Split S" maneuver (which he had performed over 200 times) immediately after takeoff based on an incorrect mean-sea-level elevation.
Climbing to only 1,670' above ground level (AGL) instead of 2,500' Stricklin had insufficient altitude to complete the descending half-loop maneuver. He guided the F-16C aircraft down runway 30, away from the spectators and ejected less than one second before impact. His parachute deployed when he was just above the ground and Stricklin survived with only minor injuries. No one on the ground was injured, but the $20 million aircraft was destroyed.
Official procedure for demonstration "Split-S" maneuvers was changed and the Thunderbird pilots now climb an extra 1,000' before performing the Split S maneuver.
Active Air Force Base. The wing is home to three fighter squadrons: the 389th Fighter Squadron, 391st Fighter Squadron and the Republic of Singapore 428th Fighter Squadron. The wing has the firepower of more than 50 F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft and 12 Republic of Singapore Air Force F-15SG aircraft. The 726th Air Control Squadron detachment assigned here gives an air picture to the aircraft as they train. An active Air National Guard unit, the 266th Range Squadron, controls and maintains emitter sites within the 7,412-square mile operational training range located in southern Idaho. | <urn:uuid:17370cf3-9b6f-42d1-a106-bf92855a1b3a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.fortwiki.com/Mountain_Home_Air_Force_Base | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.959028 | 2,142 | 2.703125 | 3 |
Increasing freight and passenger traffic has caused a surge in noise emissions. Trains often produce noise when entering or leaving stations and tunnels which poses health risks for those living and working in the vicinity.
Given that being exposed to noise above 85 decibels (dB(A)) for a continuous period can put one at the risk of permanent hearing damage according to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, there are a number of international standards and regulations in place which require rail companies to control the noise generated for the safety of workers and those in the vicinity.
In Europe, for example, a framework called Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe for strategic noise mapping has been introduced in accordance with the Environmental Noise Directive which requires strategic noise maps to be created for main rail lines and EU-wide carriageways.
While there are a number of mitigation measures available that can be applied to railway tracks, the effectiveness of these measures can differ as it often involves a large degree of uncertainty due to factors such as disturbances in surroundings.
To tackle this issue, German company SoundPLAN GmBH have created a software called SoundPLAN which is in accordance with all international standards and is used to identify the cause, location and propagation of sound. Based on these calculations railway companies can then assess the best options to reduce excessive noise.
Managing director of SoundPLAN GmBH Jochen Schaal puts it in simple words: “The core of our business is the prediction of noise in the environment.”
How does the technology map noise?
The software works by collating information based on types of rail and rolling stock, as well as frequency, size and speed. The mapping software then produces graphical representations of the noise using colours to depict the different levels. This enables laypeople as well as scientists and engineers to read the reports.
Schaal says that SoundPLAN’s railway noise mapping module consists of two parts – emission and propagation calculation. “Information relating to the number of trains, type and length, speed, and details of the rail surfaces are fed into a calculation that determines the emission level,” he says.
He adds that should conditions change in traffic speed, volume or surface type and the noise is accentuated, “a new emission value is computed”.
Reliability allows for more careful planning
Schaal says that by leveraging the software to calculate noise propagation, rail companies can focus on the practical part of noise planning, present the software-generated calculation and research to municipalities, environmental administrations and government bodies who can then plan mitigation processes.
Schaal adds that SoundPLAN’s noise maps are more reliable than manual measurements as it can automatically identify individual sources of noise emissions in a location and the direction the noise is travelling.
In addition, the software-generated maps include animation features that can predict the progress of a train along its route and identify the noisiest areas which might be influenced by topography and obstacles such as cuttings, embankments, tunnels and noise protection walls.
“Mapping software can not only show the most cost-effective measures, but it can also help with risk assessments, to show where a company should focus its attention,” Schaal declares.
Having debuted in 1986, the software solution was developed by an interdisciplinary team consisting of engineers, geographers, physicists and computer science specialists, he says.
Calculating noise levels for the Eisenbahn-Bundesamt
According to the EU environmental noise regulations, Germany’s Federal Railway Authority the Eisenbahn-Bundesamt (EBA), is required to create noise maps for German railway lines every five years.
The EBA has now completed the third round of noise mapping for all urban areas with more than 100,000 residents and for main lines with over 30,000 trains per year.
Schaal details that for the project, SoundPLAN calculated the results based on a database which forms the basis for the sound propagation calculations, and automatically created isophones, along with required statistics, for each municipality.
Following the completion of all the calculations, the results, in the form of nationwide grid noise maps, facade noise maps and various tables, were prepared for the final publication and on-schedule delivery to the EBA.
An almost impossible, but worthwhile job
While noise mitigation is essential, Schaal declares that attempting to cut noise from railways “may seem like an impossible job – or a vastly expensive one at best.”
However, he adds that using the technology can help companies as well as governments across the globe to control emissions as well as calculate the costs involved. “By using the software it is possible to assess the cost of each and every noise reduction initiative before the project even begins.
“This means it is possible to work out how much it would cost to raise a noise barrier by an extra metre and how that would affect nearby premises. It may show that’s it’s cheaper to retrofit property than build a high barrier,” Schaal concludes. | <urn:uuid:8cc256de-9020-44bf-9a94-6689cad979e5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.railway-technology.com/analysis/how-predictive-mapping-can-help-railways-cut-noise-pollution/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.950155 | 1,050 | 3.421875 | 3 |
The workplace has been evolving rapidly over the past ten years. In the past it was silicon valley in California that was known for being innovative in the office. It started off with Google having flexible hours in the workplace along with free food and places to take a rest. Basically the goal of companies now is to bring all of the comforts from home into the workplace. In return, the employees are happier and work longer hours since being at the office is not as much of a drag as it used to be.
I know this sounds weird but many offices have beers on tap. No, employees are not drinking beer instead of their morning coffee at nine in the morning. Typically after five employees are allowed to hang around the office and drink beer while they work. I’m sure they are not as productive as they would be during the day but they are still there getting work done. If you are one of those people that also enjoy a smoke break at the office then check out these great Cigarette tubes which are cheaper than just buying a pack of smokes.
Instead of giving employees an hour long lunch break each day many companies are now providing lunch in the office. It actually pays for itself in the end. If you have ten employees that are all being paid an average of twenty dollars and hour then you are wasting two hundred dollars a day. Instead the companies are just spending a little money to keep their employees working when they would normally have lunch.
Standing Desks/Innovative Personal Offices
Studies have shown that having a bunch of employees working in cubicles can actually be depressing leading to a loss in productiveness. Sometimes they can use a social media audit template.Standing desks are the new fad going around. It is grueling to have to sit in a chair for over eight hours a day. Many new companies are offering rooms with standing desks. Overall the workplace is evolving. This is just a small part of how the offices are changing but if you are working at a startup or own one then this should give you a good idea of wh | <urn:uuid:51c5f80a-beec-465a-9151-0ff72818d45e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.theperfectpaletteblog.com/2019/02/4-interesting-things-startups-are-adding-to-the-workplace.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.983764 | 422 | 2.1875 | 2 |

03 Nov Canceling Plastic | Troy Swope
Salad. Meat. Sliced watermelon. Frozen veggies. What do all these supermarket products have in common? They’re all wrapped in some sort of plastic packaging. Not only is this plastic destroying our planet, but the toxic chemicals it’s made from is soaking into our food. It’s time to make some big changes, people.
WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW.
Troy Swope has a problem with plastic.
There are 9.2 billion metric tons of plastic on our planet. If that sounds massive to you, it’s because every piece of plastic ever made still exists today. It doesn’t go anywhere, guys. It doesn’t break down.
Troy Swope’s company Footprint was created after Troy realized that not only were these plastics destroying our planet, but they were harming his family as well. Before Footprint, Troy ran a materials company. After lab testing revealed that plastic containers were contaminating a product it was storing, Troy had a lightbulb moment. So, when his wife brought home a bunch of fresh sliced fruit packaged in plastic from the supermarket one day, his curiosity got the better of him. Sure enough, testing proved this fresh sliced, healthy fruit was covered in toxic chemicals from their storage containers.
Troy and his business partner/ best friend Yoke Chung are supplying some of the big boys of food brands with sustainable, safe packaging. It started with a microwavable bowl used for frozen meals and expanded to a plethora of sustainable packaging. Footprint manufactures frozen food trays, six-pack rings, yogurt containers, coffee cups, and just about any sort of food container you can imagine, with more to come. Troy and Yoke envision a future where supermarkets and grocery stores are completely plastic-free. And I believe they are the ones to make it happen.
In this episode, Troy breaks down the absolute nastiness of traditional food packaging. He explains the endocrine-disrupting chemicals that have free access to our bodies thanks to plastic food containers. This is something I’ve been bitching about for years and years now, so I can’t even tell you how exciting it is to partner with this guy and his amazing company to make real change. Have a listen, and make a conscious effort to avoid plastic food packaging. This is important, guys.

Testun di Barolo For the lonely goat-herder
- Producer - Occelli
- Origin - Italy
- Milk Type - Cow
- Ageing - 8 Months
The Piemonte region of Italy takes its food and wine very, very seriously. Literally meaning foot of the mountains the region lies at the base of the Alps and its cold climate ensures that food is more than just sustenance, it is literally fuel to keep the internal fires burning through their bitterly cold winters.
Now just imagine that you are a lonely goat-herder living in a small stone farm in the middle of these foothills. It’s cold, it’s dark, you head out at the crack of dawn to tend your animals, with nothing more than the thought of a delicious piece of bread and cheese at the end of your exhausting day to keep you warm. As night falls you drag your tired body back to the farm, light a fire, go to your larder only to find that some bastard has slipped in and stolen your cheese.
The moral of the story is that every lonely goat-herder needs a place to hide their cheese. In the case of the Piemontese that place was inside their barrel of precious Barolo wine. And according to legend that is why every piece of Testun di Barolo is drenched in the thick must (grape-skins) of the classic wine, which seeps into the cheese and gives it its incredible depth of flavour.
The outside of this cheese looks like the bottom of a vat of grapes at the end of vintage, complete with skins and even bits of stalk. The rich purple hues contrast entirely with the pale, creamy interior. The taste and texture is almost like a classic Wensleydale, solid, yet smooth with a generous crumble. The rich flavours of vintage wine permeate the entire cheese, giving it a warm, earthy, vinous flavour. Wine and cheese wrapped up in one gorgeous, delicious parcel, what’s not to love?
FACT OF THE DAY
The word testun actually means hard-headed in local Piemontese dialect… it seems appropriate!

Training your dog can be a great thing for you and your dog. While it can help improve your dog’s behavior, it can also assist you to be a better owner. Read on to learn how to take advantage of all the benefits that come with training your dog. This will be time well spent that you will both enjoy.
When correcting your dog verbally, use sharp, short, concise commands. There’s no point in ranting at your dog. Simply address the issue and move on. In addition, use an appropriate voice volume when you give commands, so that it grabs the dog’s attention and lets it know that you are serious.
Choose the right dog crate size if you wish to utilize the crate effectively to train him. Do not forget that all puppies will grow up. Choose a crate which will be suitable for the puppy when he matures into an adult. The ideal size would be one that doesn’t make your dog crowded when turning around or laying down.
As your dog progresses in training, you can provide more freedom. Your dog will be happy when he gets rewards for his good behavior, such as freedom. Just be careful that you don’t give your dog too much freedom, as this can cause negative behavior.
Exercise your dog for at least an hour each day in addition to regular outside potty breaks and training sessions. Making sure that your dog gets enough exercise makes your training sessions a lot more effective and it will also encourage your dog to have good behavior. Your dog will be happier and better behaved if he gets enough exercise.
Training your dog involves a firm hand. However, don’t be too demanding or cruel as you want to be a loving master. This consistent interaction will lend toward a good relationship between you are your dog.
Remember not to reward your dog for bad behavior when they do something negative. In doing so, you are essentially telling your dog that it is able to control you, not the other way around. An example would be giving the dog a treat ever time it starts to bark.
If you’re traveling with dogs, remember to have everything that your pet may need in terms of sleeping as well as when it comes to using the bathroom. Paper towels, food and water bowls, and bags for waste are critical for a smooth ride. Don’t drag a huge bag of food with you. You can buy some at your destination.
With consistency, you can train your dog to hold on longer. Be sure to take your puppy out for scheduled, hourly potty breaks when you’re home. Give him a little praise if he makes waste outside. Don’t punish your dog for eliminating inside the house. The dog is not aware that this is undesirable behavior, and scolding will not change that fact. Take your dog out soon after meals and after coming out of the crate.
As mentioned earlier, there are many benefits associated with canine training. If you use this article’s advice and use what you’ve learned, training your dog can become enjoyable. The outcome will be positive for both you and your dog. | <urn:uuid:9c20b772-6edc-4b88-9dcb-a7cdc8ca30e0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://favoritecat.com/tag/potty-breaks/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.956487 | 648 | 2.09375 | 2 |
By Udeshika Jayasekara –
This is a study of the impact of the caste system on social harmony in the Southern part of the country. For this study the researcher selected six villages in Matara: Aparekka Devundara Eladeniya, Kottawatta, Deeyagaha,Kubalagama, and Eladeniya. This analysis considers caste impacts on employment, social mobility, marriage, education and their day today life.
What is caste?
The Caste system is the world’s longest surviving social hierarchy. Caste encompasses a complex ordering of social groups on the basis of ritual purity.
A person is considered a member of the caste into which he or she is born and remains within that caste until death, although the particular ranking of that caste may vary among regions and over time.
What is Social harmony?
Social harmony means minimizing the inequalities within the complexity of diversity using access and equity strategies and affirmative action initiatives in the society.
Social harmony is a state of affairs where social strife is minimized through cooperation, compromise and understanding. It assumes that differences in identities as castes are artificial, bridgeable and non-fundamental, and hence, it is a situation that is not utopian but achievable.
What is Caste Discrimination?
Caste discrimination is caused by the caste system. In caste discrimination there could be harassment and certain prejudices. This discrimination of lower caste people is often perpetrated by people of higher castes.
Table 1: Distribution of villages according to the caste
Figure 1: Occupations and social mobility
Three generations are considered under this: the respondents’ occupation, his fathers’ occupation and his grandfathers’ occupations. Above clustered column chart shows that two generations ago, occupations were closely linked to their Caste. But now situation has changed. In Goigama, most of their occupation had changed. Among the Govi (high caste), the emergence of numerous public servants indicates a growing inclination towards white-collar jobs. Nawandanda and Berawa caste people still engage in the occupation that is the same as their caste system. A moderate number of Karawa and Badahela castes have seeked new occupations. In kottawatta, Rada people are shifting towards other occupations. Nowadays Laundry workers have disappeared and it’s hard to find someone who engages in that occupation.
Findings confirm that the importance of caste is reducing among both the higher and the lower caste groups within the Sinhalese community in Sri Lanka. A large percentage of persons were no longer occupied in caste-based employment as they move on to do their higher studies. There is a stigma associated with caste based occupations, therefore they tend to reach higher education and move from their caste based occupation.
Figure 2: Education level of six villages
According to this clustered column graph, 80% of people at least studied until O/L s in village Aparekka. This means, it improved their education level than in the past and now they are not engaged in farming according to their caste. Eladeniya and Deeyagaha people still engage in the occupation relevant to their caste. Because of that, many of them do not attempt higher studies and they practice their fathers’ and grandfathers’ occupation and engage in it. A moderate amount of Devundara and Kumbalgama people abandoned their caste based occupations and attempt to do higher studies.
The high drop-out rate of school children in rural villages among the lower caste communities may be linked to their economic status. In rural villages some schools are segregated based on their caste. Some of these schools provide only primary level education and if parents want their children to continue their education, they have to send them to a school four kilometres away from the village. Since the majority of the parents are poor, sending their children to a secondary school in town is often costly and children are more likely to drop out of school during this period due to economic problems. So low caste people have fewer opportunities for higher education among those with economic problems.
Figure 3: Practice of caste in marriages
Among lower caste communities choosing a partner and getting married is not a complex process as it is a simple matter of obtaining the consent of the families for marriage. In such cases, the caste of the partners is not a strong determinant. On the other hand, for a high caste person of a higher income, marriage is a more complicated process and they are conscious of factors such as caste, wealth and status of the prospective marriage partner. So 90% of high caste people are still prejudiced about caste in marriages. Contrastingly 66% of the low caste people do not practice caste in their marriages. Overall, however both high caste and low caste people consider the caste in marriages than in any other situation of their lives.
Figure 4: Access to temples, Religious ordination and Common facilities
According to this chart there is equal access to religious and public places to both high caste and low caste people.
Thippala Viharaya, which is located Aparekka, is an ancient temple. Until the early 1980s, the temple had a separate side for the low caste members and another side for the high caste members. Although the division does not exist any longer, today this temple is visited solely by the Goigama caste. For the low caste people they have their own temple in their villages.
When concerning the ordaining of monks, lower caste villages ordain only low caste laymen. In high caste villages, high caste laymen are ordained. There is clear discrimination in the ordaining of monks in temples which are segregated based on caste.
For example, when considering Siyam Nikaya, Amarapura Nikaya and Ramanya Nikaya all monks in the temple of Aparekka village are from Siyam Nikaya. They only ordain Goigama caste for the Bhikku order. In Amarapura Nikaya, both castes are ordained but there is a preference to ordain those of a higher caste.
Figure 5: Inter and Intra caste relations in society
According to this line graph, 90% of the higher caste respondents expressed their unwillingness to have any social interaction with the lower castes. 80% of the lower caste people expressed their willingness to have social interaction with the high caste people. Among lower caste people there is an expression of willingness to enter inter caste relationships. In certain social occasions like weddings, funerals and other ceremonies high caste people do not like to see the presence of low caste people, but low caste people welcome the high caste people for their special occasions.
10% of the high caste people are not willing to have any social relationships with low caste people because they think it as a shame for them. 20% of the low caste people often change their surnames due to the stigma on their caste and later on are unwilling to associate those of the same caste. Some are also afraid to have relationships with high caste people, because they fear rejection from high caste people. Interestingly, nowadays young people have changed a lot and they make new relationships via new technologies such as Facebook, Twitter or other types of social media irrespective of caste differences.
Figure 7: Types of Caste based conflicts
Physical violence comes under the direct violence. Mental or psychological discrimination as well as verbal harassment comes under indirect violence. According to this chart 63% of caste based conflicts are indirect violence and only 37% of caste based conflicts are direct violence. Most conflicts are mental and psychological.
Table 3: Caste based conflicts with other caste people
Most of the time conflict arises between different castes than people of the same caste. Most conflicts arose between high caste people and low caste people For example: between Goigama and Karawa, Nawandanda, Rada, Berawa or Badahela people. There is increased conflict among Goigama and Karawa people. There is a perception that Karawa people are more aggressive than other low caste people. Goigama people have more power in society and lower castes fear them to an extent.
Karawa people spend most of their time on the sea and are engaged in a dangerous occupation to earn their income. Berawa people are dancers, drummers, shamans and charmers. Other people due to superstitious beliefs are scared of charmers and shamans and void conflicts with them. Even the high caste (Goigama) people are afraid to have conflicts with them. These caste based conflicts have a direct effect on social harmony.
The popular view that caste no longer matters in Sri Lankan society is not always accurate when considering the condition of the lower castes especially those who are economically disadvantaged. Due to the presence of the caste system in society people’s rights are obstructed and they face difficulties in their day today life. Although caste is not prominent as before, the situation has changed from generation to generation.

After almost an hour’s drive we see the large wooden sign that shows us the way to Milia. In 6.5 km we are there. I know the road and I am happy every time I turn here, because already the drive to the resort is an adventure. We quickly pass eucalyptus and strawberry trees, up to 850 meters.
A short stop is obligatory because of the breathtaking view of the north coast, the slopes and gorges in the south and the white mountains in the west. In addition, from October to March you are very lucky and can see the bearded vultures flying right here. We have no luck today. Not yet.
Our first longer hike this year is scheduled for today. We are doubly happy because the weather is fantastic and we have company of two wonderful friends. Wakan is happy about two additional pairs of hands that he can force to stroke him and I am looking forward to exciting conversations. We leave our vantage point to drive the last 300 meters to the parking lot, which will be our official starting point.
Is Greek and means as much as “back to the basics”. The idea for this retreat was born in the 80s, when Jacob Tsourounakis had the vision to rebuild a village that had been abandoned for over 40 years. His village. Because of the rural exodus most of the cretan inhabitants left their villages to find work in the cities and larger towns, many living villages became ghostly places.
Jacob’s dream was to create a place where man and nature live hand in hand. What is needed is produced by the people themselves, and instead of constantly buying new things, they use what is available. And Jacob had probably taken the right path, because a little later he met George Makrakis, whose family were also landowners in Milia.
George had similar ideas as Jacob and so an idea quickly became a plan and a plan a building project. Materials were used from the region, where also craftsmen came from, who rebuilt the old houses according to tradition.
And during the whole construction project the idea was born to turn the individual houses into guest houses. A village for those who are looking for silence and retreat. Ecologically built and managed. The idea of the two was so perfect that in 1990 they even received EU funding and were able to complete the entire construction project in three years.
And so in 1993 the Milia Mountain Retreat opened its doors and its own restaurant, where there is only food from local cultivation and own livestock farming. In the year 2000 Tasos joined the founders, the restaurant was renovated and today Milia is one of the most established holiday resorts in western Crete.
When I walk the way from the parking lot to the village I always experience this magical atmosphere. You can feel a completely natural retreat. Because you can hear, smell, taste and feel the silence.
After a few minutes we meet the first hard-working people. There is a lot to do, because even Milia was not completely protected from the heavy rain. But in relation to other places everything is in the best condition here. This is probably also due to the fact that the restoration of the village did not affect nature.
All river streams were allowed to flow further along their way and paths were adapted to the river course at an appropriate distance. But there is still a lot to do. Beets are sown, facades are repaired, wooden doors are painted and paths are cleared of branches that could not stand the storm. And where humans are, there are mostly dogs. At least that is the case in Crete.
And so it doesn’t take long until we hear the first bark. The second one does not wait for long and with the third one the associated fur noses come immediately around the corner. Wakan is thrilled!
There are sniffs, the hierarchy is clarified and then he loses interest again. After all, we are here to explore something, there is no time for distraction. I am impressed by so much discipline.
We follow the road through the enchanting place until we reach the first direction sign. There are five possible destinations and all lead in the same direction. Getting lost is impossible.
Shortly afterwards we see a small church on our left, but we continue to follow the path in the other direction and arrive at the first gate. Who still follows us is one of the local four-legged friends.
We pass the gate and I close it before the little black one gets the idea we would take him with us. I have absolutely no problem with other dogs, but if you take them on a hike you have to bring them back. And you never know if they will make the hike on their own. So I’ve gotten used to only taking dogs with me that have their owner with them.
As soon as we have unhooked one of our four-legged friends, a second one appears. However from another kind. We don’t believe our eyes.
When I hear Maria speak out my thoughts. And as if it doesn’t happen too rarely anyway that you see domestic pigs in the wild, without a chain or fence, it’s the first time in 2 years that I see a pig at all.Wakan is obviously disinterested.
A pig is not exciting enough for him, especially because it doesn’t appear with a huge flock. His challenge only starts with at least five appearances of the same kind. I’m still a little happy about viewing this cuddly pink-black-spotted miracle and on we go.
The second gate is crossed and we come to the next marking. I suggest to take the left path. The signs tell us that this is the way to Agios Georgios Church. The other paths go straight across the stream and then uphill. But the way to the church leads along the river, clearly a good choice.
Everyone agrees, because rippling streams with crystal clear mountain water are as rare on Crete as pink pigs with black dots. Apropros black, what’s going on? The little black fluffy dog actually found a way to follow us.
I swear: I closed both gates but Wakan is happy. Sure, it would be really unfair if I had buddies with me and he didn’t. So we all take the risk and trust that a dog from the mountains is also suitable for hiking.
And so it goes along the stream, past Agios Giorgios at the base of the mountains, further on our way.
The weather rewards us with a bright blue sky and for sure 26 degrees. The birds sing like crazy, the stream rushes and along the way it blossoms and hums, that one could think it would be Spring on the alps. And after some time our way is even marked and we follow the green-white path in this wonderful landscape. It is always fascinating for me how different nature feels here.
I know streams and rivers, no question about that. But a creek in Crete is so special that I have to keep a tear of touch from myself. What a beautiful world.
Secretly I am glad that there are still places where the destruction of nature for raw materials hasn’t left its traces yet.
However, in Crete the destruction took place many centuries ago, when the Venetians destroyed most of the huge forest areas to build ships. And to this day the island has not really recovered. Destruction happens fast, but regeneration takes its time. I am suddenly brought back to the present by another unexpected encounter.
In the middle of the way a donkey stands and nibbles the olive leaves with pleasure from a branch draped especially for him. He is wrapped in traditional harness from the snaffle to the saddle and I’m in love by shock a second time! Wakan is only shocked because he remembers his donkey encounter a few years ago in Germany.
They weren’t so friendly. They were on an attack course immediately after they had spotted him and only with difficulty to distract from him.
Since then I know that donkeys were carried in flocks of sheep to defend against wolves. Were there wolves on Crete? I’m looking for a way to smuggle the dogs past the donkey when I notice a man in a small garden. He must be the donkey owner. I ask him if his donkey has any problems with dogs. He smiles friendly and clicks his tongue, which means ‘No’. The dogs pass the donkey without any problems and I’m even allowed to take some pictures of him.
Past the donkey our way leads through two small villages, to an archaeological site and the one or other hidden natural phenomenon, until we are led again on the green meadows around Milia.
The green-white path goes downhill and on the map it looks like it led us a good way back on the same path we already walked.
We decide to take an adventurous path off the beaten track which led us on a direct, but well overgrown path up another hill. Wakan does what he does best and goes ahead to find the best way through the thicket.
We are up in a blink of an eye and cross a marked path. The marking is red and we remember that at the starting point we also had red among the five colours. Perfect!
A ‘Hurrah’ to the best scout south of Spitsbergen. Not to be forgotten is also our guest hiker. He has much shorter legs than all of us and runs like a professional over stick a stone. Respect!
The red path leads us over a miniature edition of a plateau and also this piece of nature comes not around an admiring:
Awwwwwwww, look how beautiful!
We are unanimously enthusiastic! Finally this path crosses another hiking trail. We need to laugh. Black-yellow. Three women, three ways. And everyone had his charm. We agree that we will come back to discover the partially explored paths in their entirety.
Now heading back to Milia. If we are lucky we get a fresh mountain tea with honey. And we have already seen a pig, luck can’t be far away. And as ordered we see another pig on the way back. Motionless under a tree.
It’s huge! I can’t resist. My zoom does not reach that far. I creep up, press the release button, it clicks and I hear a soft grunt. The next moment I realize that I have no chance against the pig. If my photography’s ambition has contributed to making it feel threatened, I’m done. There it is again. Grunt.
And now I see it! The pig is dreaming! It lies there in a blissful slumber and grunts while dreaming. I really thought the sweetest being is Wakan when he’s dreaming and all four paws run for her life and he quietly barks inside himself. But for this moment he has lost this predicate. A dreaming pig!
I am grateful. For such a through and through special day!
Arrived at the Milia Restaurant we are already expected. So is our little companion. The tea is ready, the view a dream and a final look at the map confirms us again that we have walked 3 parts of 3 hiking trails. We walked about 6 km in 4,5 hours.
Comfortable and with breaks. It couldn’t have been better, though. We would all have had nothing against spending the night in Milia, because at least there are 4 more hiking trails that we don’t know.
Milia is part of our daytrips as well as a place for retreats. If you don’t want to live directly by the sea and like hiking, this is the place for you. The beaches of the north and south coast can be reached in approx. one hour by car. Don´t hesitate to contact us for further informations.
All dogs from Milia escort us to the car. As if they had heard that it is exciting with us. A beautiful conclusion for a dreamlike day! | <urn:uuid:5865f44c-bede-4e87-be6b-84fe9d35a5e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://masimou.de/en/milia-mountain-refuge/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.97548 | 2,524 | 1.609375 | 2 |

Editor’s note: This is part of The Revelator’s months-long investigation into Hilcorp Energy. For the rest of this series, click here.
Hilcorp Energy’s oil and gas operations in Louisiana have been involved in at least seven oil spills since July, including two spills that dumped thousands of gallons into the Mississippi River and marshlands along the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
Scott Eustis, coastal wetland specialist for the Gulf Restoration Network, says Hilcorp’s history of regulatory violations and operating shortcuts contribute to the company’s repeated oil spills.
“If Hilcorp applied for permits properly, surveyed properly, and maintained equipment properly,” he says, “they would not have all these accidents.”
Hilcorp spokesperson Lori Nelson said in a May 10 email to The Revelator that “Hilcorp has a long history of investment which helps build and maintain Louisiana’s energy development.”
She said company “adheres to all state and federal regulations and attains necessary permits as required for our operations.”
Hilcorp’s Louisiana oil spills in the last 12 months include:
July 25, 2016: A Hilcorp abandoned pipeline leaked 4,200 gallons into the Lake Washington oil field in Plaquemines.
Aug. 23, 2016: About 42 gallons of crude oil was spilled due to an equipment failure in Little Lake Marsh.
Sept. 5, 2016: A pipeline owned by Hilcorp subsidiary Harvest Pipeline Co. was cut during dredging operations to rebuild an island and released 5,250 gallons of crude oil along the shores of Cheniere Ronquille Island.
Oct. 8, 2016: About 12,600 gallons of oil were released from the company’s Caillou Island Tank Battery in south Louisiana. Most of the oil was contained in a recovery system. On Oct. 11 about 1,050 gallons of oil was discovered on Timbalier Island that is believed to be associated with the discharge from Caillou Island.
Oct. 21, 2016: Approximately 126 gallons of crude oil were released from a storage facility in Lafitte, LA into a canal and nearby marsh area.
March 21, 2017: An abandoned wellhead leaked an estimated 840 gallons of crude oil into the Mississippi River.
April 5, 2017: A pinhole leak in a low flow oil line released more than 80 gallons of crude oil in Jefferson Parish. | <urn:uuid:2b6b7456-6895-458b-bf01-36d0dc491a69> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://therevelator.org/hilcorp-oil-spills-louisiana/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.950596 | 514 | 1.976563 | 2 |
Launched on 15 February, this is the page to visit for updates on the international #EfficiencyFirst campaign!
The International Passive House Association (iPHA) and its partner organisations have launched the global “Efficiency: The First Renewable Energy” campaign. Te Tōpūtanga o te Whare Korou ki Aotearoa, Passive House Institute New Zealand (PHINZ) is the iPHA partner organisation in Aotearoa NZ.
PHINZ CEO Amy Tankard comments, “Here in Aotearoa NZ, our electricity grid already comprises a high level of renewables and is relatively green compared to most of the world. But compelling evidence still shows that cutting emissions through efficiency is vital to achieve our climate goals.” (1)

Power and Performance Optimizations
Very high-performance multi-core Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are increasingly used in telecommunications access, edge and infrastructure equipment to process voice, video and radio signals. The current generation of multi-core DSPs has dramatically enhanced processing capabilities over its predecessors. As a result, these new DSPs can replace solutions that previously could only be implemented commercially using dedicated ASICs or DSPASIC combinations. What’s more, since DSPs are software-driven, when sufficiently powerful, they provide the flexibility that dedicated ASIC solutions lack. This flexibility has great appeal in access and infrastructure equipment that is expected to last many years in network deployments.

Ever thought about what’s trapped inside you that’s just dying to get out? Whether it’s about pent up emotions or resentment (definitely used to be me) or even just some extraordinary talent that you’re too afraid to show the world?
I used to always worry about the consequences of letting my anger show or the consequences if I stood my ground and said no. Was it the fear of not being liked or the fear of my own emotions that stopped me from showing any of it?
We have been taught from a young age to always please others and to always put other people’s needs ahead of our own. Be conscientious. Be kind. Be a people-pleaser. What I’m learning though is that none of these things mean anything if you are doing it as some sort of obligation. And I’m not saying it doesn’t mean anything because of some moral high ground. I’m saying it doesn’t mean anything if it feels like an obligation because all that happens is you become distressed while trying to make others happy. When you’re acting from a place of anguish, pain, distress, irritation, anger, guilt or frustration then you’re not being kind to yourself, you’re not being conscious of your own needs and you’re definitely not making yourself happy. If you cannot do these things for yourself, how can you truly do them for anyone else?
Whatever is trapped inside you, let it out. If you want to say no but say yes instead, you’re holding emotions in. If you want to paint or draw or sing or start a blog and you do not because you do not believe you’re talented enough, you’re holding it within.
Whatever you’re holding within will either die a slow death or eat you from within. Whatever is trapped within you is like a fire that is burning from within. It will either die or burn everything. And if behaving from that kind of place and you continuously try to hide your own emotions, it will be noticed. It will be seen. And all that ends up happening is you trying to convince yourself how well you’re hidden. Step up. Step out. Let what’s trapped inside you out. | <urn:uuid:6e52fe06-9371-44f8-801e-ee5f36f3f732> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mybutterflydream.com/2020/11/08/what-is-trapped-inside-you/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.942214 | 477 | 1.8125 | 2 |
Methodologies used to acquire superficial femoral artery blood flow and mid-thigh muscle and fat composition. The location for measurement of flow within the arteries of interest was in the axial plane 20 cm distal to femoral head. The magnified images at the top right demonstrate the cross-section of superficial femoral artery used to measure flow. The images at the bottom demonstrate the mid-thigh cross-sections acquired just distal to the superficial femoral arterial flow images. As shown, color-coded signal thresholding was used to identify fat and skeletal muscle in the middle thigh. | <urn:uuid:9e8d5cf2-aac0-4ec9-840f-3f85b8265502> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jcmr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1532-429X-11-48/figures/2 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.920344 | 120 | 2.5625 | 3 |

Salt Lake County Health Department Reports First Flu Death of the Season
(Salt Lake County)—The Salt Lake County Health Department (SLCoHD) announced today that a county resident has died from influenza. This is the first confirmed flu-related death in the 2015–16 influenza season in the county. The individual was over the age of 65 and had not received the seasonal flu vaccine before becoming ill.
“This is a tragic reminder that influenza is a serious disease—but one that is largely preventable,” said Ilene Risk, epidemiology bureau manager for SLCoHD. “Everyone over the age of six months old should get a flu shot every year to prevent illness and to avoid making others ill.”
Influenza cases have been lower than normal so far this flu season but health officials say they’ve begun to see an increase in cases since early January. In Salt Lake County, 36 people have been hospitalized from the flu since October 1; most of those hospitalized are over the age of 50.
“This year’s seasonal flu vaccine is well-matched to the virus strains we’re seeing in circulation,” said Risk. “Vaccination is the best defense against getting ill.”
Because their immune systems are less robust than those who are younger, people over the age of 65 should receive a “high-dose” flu vaccine specifically formulated for seniors.
The health department encourages people to receive a yearly flu vaccine not only to protect themselves, but to also protect loved ones who may be more susceptible to serious complications from the flu.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the flu season is unpredictable in its severity, and the length of the season varies from year to year. In Utah, flu activity most commonly peaks in January or February. However, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May.
In addition to encouraging vaccination, SLCoHD also reminds people to be diligent about washing hands correctly, and to stay home from work and school if they are sick.
Flu vaccine is available at many places in the community, from pharmacies to doctors’ offices, as well as at Salt Lake County Public Health Centers (locations at slcohealth.org; appointments are required—call 385-468-SHOT to schedule).
“Getting vaccinated is easy,” Risk said, “and it saves lives.” | <urn:uuid:c9369bbc-0224-4176-96d3-3c0f950f8808> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gis.slco.org/health/Media/first-flu-death-in-salt-lake-county/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.973318 | 520 | 1.984375 | 2 |
It is well known that cellular metal is an ideal structure used in transportation passive safety field for its low density and high energy absorption capacity. In this paper, a kind of regular cellular metal based on cubic structure is proposed. The cubic cells are manufactured through sheet metal stamping process. Then the cells could be bonded together by adhesive to form the cellular structure. The compressive properties of the cellular metal are studied by experiments. The dynamic behaviors are studied by numerical simulations. To distinguish the individual and interactive effects on the energy absorption capacity, a full factorial Design of Experiment with sixteen configurations is carried out based on the four parameters that are essential to the design of cellular metal. The effects of impact velocity on crushing deformation are analyzed. It has been shown that the regular cellular metal based on cubic structure will have a wide application in industry.

We all hope to never be involved in a personal injury case, whether we are the plaintiff or defendant. Personal injury occurs when one party is injured or harmed by the actions or inactions of another person. Generally, personal injury cases fall into one of two categories. One is intentional torts, when someone intended to inflict harm on another person. The other is negligence, where someone’s action or inaction caused injury or harm to someone, whether intentional or not. If you have been injured or have a loved one who has been injured and it results in negligence, there are certain actions you need to take and things you need to know about when to seek the help of an attorney.
Knowing Your Rights
In most cases, the first priority in a motor vehicle accident is the injured person’s own policy, even if that person is not driving at the time of the accident and their insured vehicle is also not involved. If you’ve been in a car accident as a passenger, you have rights. You have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills and lost wages that you suffer as a result of the injuries you sustained in the accident. Certain factors will determine how and from whom you can claim compensation – Who is at fault for the accident? Did you own an insured vehicle at the time of the accident? If not, a family member or other person related to you was? Knowing well your rights and the differences between how drivers are treated versus passengers is important to ensure you receive the maximum possible compensation for your claim.
Liability Claims for Passengers
The second avenue for financial compensation is to file a claim against the person responsible for the accident. This part of the claim is called the “liability” portion. Oftentimes, the insurance companies of the two (or more) drivers involved battling each other over whom to assign blame. Sometimes multiple parties share a percentage of the fault for the accident. Unlike drivers involved in an accident, passengers are rarely at fault as they did not have control of any vehicle. Therefore, it is likely that a passenger can file his claim against either the driver of the vehicle in which he was traveling or the driver of the other vehicle. However, it is possible to get caught in the middle of a liability claim if the insurance companies that cover drivers cannot agree on who is at fault. This can also delay the possibility of obtaining compensation for your liability claim. In addition, this disagreement may mean that it is necessary to give several recorded statements with multiple insurance companies, attend an independent medical examination or provide information to determine the facts of the accident and the extent of the damage.
The process of obtaining compensation from the responsible driver’s insurance company can be further complicated, if the responsible driver is a close relative such as a parent or spouse. In most states, you have the right to sue the driver of the vehicle that is at fault, especially the vehicle you were riding in, regardless of how they are related to you. Unfortunately, this fairly common situation means that it may be necessary to file a lawsuit against a member of your own family in order to obtain the compensation to which you are entitled under the law. Many Boston personal injury lawyers find themselves in a battle among families in this kind of situation, but the person filing the claim has to take that responsibility. The lawyer is only there to guide you. | <urn:uuid:ea8a13c5-ff09-48be-9b01-4821291302da> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.legallawattorneys.com/law/knowing-your-rights-as-a-passenger-in-a-car-accident.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.972665 | 683 | 1.570313 | 2 |
