When camping, you will be without temperature regulators, and the comfort of a kitchen. Therefore, you need to make sure that you carefully plan out your trip, so that you are prepared. The following article can give you some great ideas for making the next camping trip you take a truly memorable experience.
When packing for your camping trip, do not forget chairs and a radio. One of the best parts of camping is sitting around the campfire. You could sit on an old log, but why bother when you can pack chairs and be comfortable. The radio is for entertainment sitting around the fire. An even better idea is to bring your guitar for a sing along.
When going camping, you must make sure that you keep a list of all of the supplies that you plan to bring. You have to make sure you include everything that you will need on your trip. This is the best way to make sure that you don’t forget something for your trip.
Water is critical for your survival when hiking in the backcountry. Carry water purification tablets with you or some sort of water filter that is capable of filtering out bacteria. There are many different kinds available at your local sporting goods store. Whenever you are looking for a water source, make sure the water is flowing; stagnant water can kill you if not treated properly.
Plan accordingly when it comes to food. It is a hassle to make room in your car for all the food you need. However, proper nourishment is crucial when you are in the woods. Also, items that are fairly inexpensive in your local store often carry a higher price tag near camping sites. Bringing enough food means that you will save money and keep everyone in your family in a good mood.
If you are camping and the weather is starting to rise significantly, tale the coolers that you have with you and put them somewhere in the shade. It will also help to keep them covered with some type of tarp. This will keep the temperature inside the cooler from rising too much.
Oranges are great for camping since they’re healthy, easy to eat, and they also keep mosquitoes away. Just keep the peels in a plastic bag after you eat the orange and then use them to rub on your skin as the sun begins to go down. It is a cheap and effective way to keep the mosquitoes at bay.
Bring duct tape with you since it can help you in many situations. You can use it to repair holes in tents, inflatables, shoes and just about anything else you can think of.
When traveling to your camping destination, plan on stopping and having a meal when you’re near the campground, but before you actually arrive. Being well fed before arriving will ease frustrations if the campground is full, or if it takes longer to get your gear set up. Use this break to discuss your plans and to remind everyone of how to remain safe!
When preparing for a camping trip, people often fail to bring enough clothes. Remember that there will be no washing facilities, and you also need to think about how the weather can call for certain specific attire as well at times. You always want to be prepared, so pack accordingly.
When camping, most people enjoy relaxing around a campfire. To prevent your fire from becoming out of control, you should incorporate a few safety practices. First of all, build your fire away from bushes and trees so that sparks from your fire will not start a forest fire. You will also want to use a circle of rocks to contain your campfire. Do not ever leave your fire unattended. Before leaving your campsite, make sure your campfire has been totally extinguished and that there are no remaining hot embers.
If you are taking your children camping with you, don’t forget to take walkie talkies along with you. Although each of you may own a cell phone, the area where you are camping may not have adequate coverage. It is best to invest in walkie talkies that have a range of several miles. By having walkie talkies or Family Radio Service (FRS) radio, you can remain in contact with all members of your family.
When you have a campfire, be certain that someone is monitoring it at all times. Summer’s weather and dry campsites can be potentially hazardous conditions for fires in unwanted areas. Take turns watching the flames, and be sure to keep a bucket of water and dirt handy to put out any fires.
When camping out, you’re going to have bugs. Some of them are fine, and some of them; you don’t want them around you. To limit the amount of bugs you must deal with, keep your campsite clean. Bees and ants are attracted to sugary soda cans and messes, so dispose of your trash immediately.
Bugs can be a major problem with camping; they can cause disease, get into your food, and just be a nuisance. Take the proper measures to keep them away. This includes not putting on perfume or cologne, lighting citronella candles, avoiding swamp lands, and covering your skin, so they are not attracted to your scent.
The best tip in camping is to decide where you are going to camp and who is going to camp with you before you go. You need to pack for everyone and make sure there are facilities available. If you add any additional people at the last minute, you need to add additional food and supplies for them.
For easier food preparation on a camping trip, prepare ingredients at home, and pack them in plastic zipper bags. You might want to chop, and other ingredients can be cooked quickly and easily when the prep work is done ahead of time. Throw a few bags of vegetables and meat into a pot over a fire, and you have soup or stew!
Camping can help you experience the world without the comforts of modern society. For some, this is an appeal, whereas others find it difficult. It is a vacation, so you want to go prepared so you can spend more time relaxing while you are camping.

Depression is a disorder that does not get nearly enough attention. Depressed people are often told to "cheer up" or to "look at the bright side" of things, and may spiral even deeper when they are unable to simply snap out of the mood that has such a hold on them. While depression can often lead to fatigue and listlessness, it has a close cousin by the name of anxiety. Anxiety causes the opposite effect, putting our bodies into the "fight or flight" mode that protected us in the wild. Anxiety attacks can feel like heart attacks, and even at more moderate levels, anxiety can have a dangerous and very negative effect on our lives and on our quality of living. Anxiety can also lead into depression, when a sense of worry and fear for the future leads into the sense of helplessness and hopelessness. That is a classic symptom of depression. Depression and anxiety are often seen together, and can sometimes lead into one another. Anxiety is a way of describing a certain way of feeling. It may represent a sense of fear, dread, or a sense that you are in immediate danger, even when you are safe and have no reason to feel this way. There are several different kinds of anxiety disorders, including phobias or irrational fears, situational anxiety, panic disorders, generalized anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders among others. These disorders can lead to a state of almost constant high stress, and can affect your daily life much to the worse. You may be unable to function in certain situations, or you may come to fear leaving your own home, and if untreated, the symptoms of anxiety disorders can lead to many of the same problems as depression, including insomnia or a reluctance or fear to leave the house or to be around other people. Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety symptoms can also feel like heart attacks, with palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pains, and more. You might begin trembling and shaking, your mouth might go dry, and you might become dizzy from the stress of the situation. The body becomes "hyped up" by your reaction to the situation, and your senses go into a sort of overdrive that is unlike the depression of the system that happens when you suffer from clinical depression. Depression disorder actually slows the body in some ways, making you feel sluggish rather than ready to run or fight, and hopeless rather than actively panicked or fearful. If you have been suffering from anxiety attacks, the attacks themselves may lead into depression because of the hopelessness that you feel at the hands of the attacks and because of the fears that are associated with possibly having another attack. If your anxiety symptoms have changed to include listlessness, a disinterest in things that used to engage you, or feelings of hopelessness and self-loathing, then you may now be suffering from depression disorder, and should be treated accordingly for your medical condition. Depression is not a constant state of being, nor is anxiety. You might think that because you have a good number of "good days" that your depressive days are just bad moments that will pass, however depression can become worse over time if it is not treated and taken care of, and can lead to suicide if left untreated long enough. Anxiety and Depression Treatments
Anxiety can worsen over time as well if it is not handled properly. There are ways to help with anxiety even without medication. Therapies are different depending on the type of anxiety that affects you and on the level of anxiety that you suffer. For a phobia, you might be exposed at increasing levels to the thing that you are afraid of. Other therapies might require talking your problems out, and others might just provide techniques to help you ride out your panic attacks and get on with life without letting them affect you more than necessary. Depression treatments are also varied, mostly depending on your own personal preference. Medication can provide you with an effective way of dealing with depression; however medication is not for everyone. If you are not interested in medication, then you might consider other kinds of therapies with a psychologist who has experience working with depression. Depression and anxiety are related disorders that can have a huge impact on your overall health and quality of life if left untreated. However, both are manageable conditions that do not have to have an effect on your daily life.

Research on mechanical harvesting of prickly pear for catle feed
In 1988 Texas A&I received a grant to develop a biomass combine to harvest woody brush for use as an industrial fuel source. Since then we have adapted a previously proven Texas Tech cutterhead to a hydrostatically powered John Deere forage harvester. This machine has proven quite capable of harvesting 4 to 6 inch diameter mesquite trees, shredding them, and blowing the shredded biomass to a trailer behind the harvester. We felt this machine might prove useful in harvesting prickly pear cactus for cattle feed. Unfortunately this is not a picked up as is the woody brush. While this process might be useful if is desirable to destroy the cactus, this will certainly not harvest the cactus. | <urn:uuid:92c20352-7982-43dd-9ded-303d02be0d37> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jpacd.org/jpacd/article/view/398 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.937047 | 160 | 2.359375 | 2 |
In this guest post, Mick Mercer of Shudokan Preston talks about his motivation behind martial arts, as well as why we should practice sport.Advertisement
When asked to write this piece I got to thinking about why we train or even why would we train in an ancient martial art from Japan?
Any sport should be about helping individuals to develop themselves in all sorts of ways, and should be about developing character and a sense of fair play.
I think it was the Duke of Wellington who said something along the lines that “The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton”, and I am sure he was referring to sport in general and not just that prestigious school!
However, much of the popular sport we see today seems to be more about money and “winning at all cost”. Being an avid sports fan I have found myself somewhat disillusioned with sport in general lately. Don’t get me wrong winning is important and putting in the hard work to build a winning team or individual is what it is all about.
But losing has its place too, after all there are no winners without losers and I am sure every successful team can point to a low point that marked the recovery to winning ways. Building character and good qualities are also important and sadly this is not often to the fore when we watch some of the more popular sports and more famous personalities (David Beckham being a fine exception to this rule showing himself to be a brilliant role model – and he even mentioned PNE at the BBC sports personality event!).
I have been struggling with this little problem for a few weeks now but this week I have had my faith restored. After the Christmas break we have been working hard on getting our Aikido students ready for testing and our focus has been on this event; which was completed last week.
With the tests finished and our classes back to normal I was observing our Little Dragons (4 to 7 year olds) after they had just completed a great training session. Jonathan had just joined us and this had been his first class; after each session we award each student with a tape to put around their belt to denote they have attended a class, behaved properly and worked hard.
Jonathan, being new, was not quite sure what to do and while he was looking a little confused he was approached by Christopher, who has been with us for several months now and is no more than 5 years old. Christopher guided Jonathan to the line, politely invited him to stand in front of him and then started to explain what was happening by showing Jonathan his own belt that was covered with the tapes he had already been awarded.
At this precise moment I realised why I do this and what training in Aikido is all about. It is about developing character, consideration, cooperation and a deep respect for our fellow man. The fact that it took a 5 year old boy to be the one to restore my faith is pretty cool too.
Training takes place every weekday evening at the full time dojo in Preston, classes are available for all ages.

How to Practice Self-care as a Business Owner
If you’re an entrepreneur, the line between work and personal life can become blurred, or even disappear altogether. Although a strong work ethic is a great asset, pouring every drop of yourself into your business can lead to burnout. The higher your stress level, the more your body and mind need you to give back to yourself. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. Freedom Psychotherapy invites you to read on for tips about how to practice good self-care, avoid burnout, and feel like the boss that you are.
Clear your headspace
Every business has dozens of moving parts, and most business owners have their hands full, keeping track of them all. Spreading yourself thin can leave you feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. If your business is in its early stages, it can be hard to let go of the reigns and delegate tasks to others — but it’s necessary! The more you can do to free up your mental bandwidth, the better. One way to do this is through mindfulness meditation. Regular meditation practice (even if it’s just a few minutes a day) can help relieve anxiety, improve the clarity of your thinking, and make you happier.
If you’re struggling to carve out the time to meditate, consider using business strategies that save time and energy. For example, forming an LLC can be good for business and relieve stress. With this business structure, you’ll have less paperwork, more flexibility, and tax advantages. You can easily get Texas LLC registration online through a formation service. Just be sure to check the regulations before moving forward because they vary from state to state.
Clear your workspace
When you’re laser-focused on getting the job done, the energy flow and decor in your office is probably the last thing on your mind. However, a clean, calming environment can improve your workflow and decrease stress. You can get started by cleaning up clutter and making sure you have enough space to move around freely. Do what you can to improve the airflow and access to natural light.
If your office is a bit utilitarian, beautifying your workspace can be an effective form of self-care — and can even increase your productivity. Consider adding live plants (which give you more oxygen and offer added relaxation), textiles (such as a plush rug, curtains, or throw pillows), and upgrade furniture that is uncomfortable or too small. These seemingly superficial changes can make you feel more relaxed, cozy, and focused while you’re working.
De-stress like a boss
Turn off your phone. Turn off your tablet. Turn off your computer. You deserve — and need — real, unplugged me-time. Don’t limit your me-time to once in a quarter. Rather, make it a regular part of your life. Let your colleagues and family know that you’ll be unavailable. No matter how much your business needs you, you need you.
Create some space to have an actual mental and physical break. This doesn’t mean that you need to be physically inactive during your me-time (although that’s fine, too, because naps are life-giving). Exercise can be a wonderful way to rebalance your energy and feel good about yourself. Don’t forget to address some of the other basics of self-care, such as showering, eating healthy food, and sleeping.

A good self-care routine will make you feel well-balanced, energetic, and loved. It’s not a once-in-a-while treat to reward yourself for your relentless work — it’s a requirement for lasting health and well-being. Burnout is not a badge of honor, and practicing self-care does not make you uncommitted. By clearing your head, beautifying your environment, and prioritizing your own needs, you’ll start feeling better right away.

Student Spotlight: Multiply

"The assignment was to design the branding and package for a challenging consumer product. I chose toilet paper as a majority of consumers including myself struggle most often to find the details of the thickness/quality on the product package. My research showed me that most existing packages focus on the brand name, soft colors and comforting graphics, thereby making it difficult for the onlooker to get important details regarding the product from a distance."

"I named the brand MULTIPLY, as toilet paper is available in a variety of thicknesses or plies that increase the hygiene and comfort value. Attempting to solve the simple issue of convenience for the buyer, I decided to focus on the info graphic 1ply, 2ply and 3ply. This series of 3 packs clearly identifies each quality at a single glance on the shelf while indicating the product itself through the visual language." | <urn:uuid:7ac11cd1-1533-4fce-ba4f-8bb97944ccb5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thedieline.com/blog/2010/8/12/student-spotlight-multiply.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.913863 | 247 | 1.515625 | 2 |

Paper #: 04-12-031
We ask whether natural selection has shaped three biologically important features of 15 signal transduction networks and 2 genome-scale transcriptional regulation networks. These features are regulatory cycles, the lengths of the longest pathways through a network (a measure of network compactness), and the abundance of node pairs connected by many alternative regulatory pathways. We determined whether these features are significantly more or less abundant in biological networks than in randomized networks with the same distribution of incoming and outgoing connections per network node. We find that autoregulatory cycles are of exceptionally high abundance in transcriptional regulation networks. All other cycles, however, are significantly less abundant in several signal transduction networks. This suggests that the multistability caused by complex feedback loops in a network may interfere with the functioning of such networks. We also find that several of the networks we examine are more compact than expected by chance alone. This raises the possibility that the transmission of information through such networks, which is fastest in compact networks, is a biologically important characteristic of such networks. | <urn:uuid:bd9dcce5-e8d5-497e-b5d2-f0ccff6cfbb2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://santafe.edu/research/results/working-papers/longest-paths-and-cycles-in-signal-transduction-an | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945328 | 218 | 1.84375 | 2 |
I climbed up, beyond the highest reaches of the ski lift, up onto a cornice of snow on Marmot Mountain in Jasper National Park. For years I have watched in awe as skiers appear as little specks as they climb, linger, and drop with smooth and curvy beauty down the mountain. Last week, I was one of those wee specks and I now know why they linger.
As I gained altitude, so too did my anxiety. I realized that going down the way I came up could be potentially worse than the ski jump down. Was skiing down truly something I could do?
After the climb, the view itself reminded me to pause and gather myself. The view served as a wonderful distraction from the feat that lay ahead. I could see the whole landscape – the mountain tops and the valleys that are unseen from the lower altitudes I inhabit.
And with my friends, from 9 to 55 years old, I stood on a threshold: go back the way we came, or find a new way. We chose to go over the edge. When it was my turn, I chose to jump over the edge.
As I embark on my exploration of Chapter 8 – The City Making Exchange with you, these words from John O’Donohue’s blessing, For the Time of Necessary Decision, ring true:
Trust that a richer life awaits us there,
That we will lose nothing
But what has already died;
There are times when jumping over the edge is the right thing to do. As I reflect my sharing my writing in progress with you, I know far less about this last third of the book than the previous two. I am jumping into Nest City’s third part and trust that I will learn what I need to learn.
What are you jumping into?

Brown teff Grinded
The tiny size of a teff seed belies its substantial nutritional weight. Many of Ethiopia’s famed distance runners credit teff for their endurance, and it’s long been an important element in the traditional diets on the Horn of Africa, where it’s most commonly ground into flour and served as injera, the region’s customary flatbread. With the widespread interest in the so-called “ancient grains,” defined as unaltered through selective breeding or other genetic modifications, teff is gaining fans in the rest of the world too.
Although technically a seed from the Eragrostis tef plant, commonly called Williams’ lovegrass or annual bunch grass, teff functions as a whole grain, similar to barley, wheatberries, and quinoa. Unlike wheat, teff, a type of millet, is a gluten-free grain choice suitable for most people with celiac disease or an intolerance to gluten. Though it’s more expensive than other whole grains, due to the difficulty of harvesting the smallest grain in the world, proponents of teff cite its unbeatable nutritional value as worth the extra cost. Like many grains, you can also purchase it in flour form. | <urn:uuid:95795a6e-e1c3-4bf7-9c05-1270074a71d9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://qshebaspecerijen.nl/nl/product/teff-brown-grinded/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.931977 | 258 | 2.4375 | 2 |
“The inventors and purveyors of the experimental COVID products are protected against lawsuits.” — Paul Ebeling
Of the 700 physicians responding to an internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), nearly 60% said they were not “fully vaccinated” against COVID, according to a press release from PR Newswire in June.
This contradicts an American Medical Association claim based on 300 respondents that 96% of practicing physicians are fully vaccinated.
Neither survey is representative of all US physicians, but the AAPS survey shows that support among doctors for the COVID injection campaign is not unanimous.
The AAPS survey also showed that more than half of physician respondents were aware of patients suffering a “significant adverse reaction.” Of the unvaccinated physicians, 80% said “I believe risk of shots exceeds risk of disease,” and 30% said, “I already had COVID and am immune.“
“It is wrong to call a person who declines a shot an ‘anti-vaxxer,’ ” AAPS executive director Dr. Jane Orient said. “Virtually no physicians are ‘anti-antibiotics’ or ‘anti-surgery,’ whereas all are opposed to treatments that they think are unnecessary, more likely to harm than to benefit an individual patient, or inadequately tested.”
Dr. Orient went on to say that causality is not proven. However, she said, “many of these episodes might have resulted in a huge product liability or malpractice award if they had occurred after a new drug, but purveyors of these COVID products are protected against lawsuits.”

Argentina’s Road of the Seven Lakes
With over 1 million square miles of terrain, including snow-capped mountains,
crashing coastlines, grand deserts, lush rainforest, and rural countrysides, Argentina’s landscape is vast and varied. Framed by the Andes on the west, the world’s longest mountain range, lies peaks, valleys and glaciers that set the stage for a colorful diversity in Argentina’s crystal water lakes.
We’ve rounded up a few of Argentina’s most stunning multi-colored lakes below all ranging from deep blues, sunlit emeralds, to translucent sapphires. They can be easily visited along one of the most scenic drives in Argentina known as the Road of the Seven Lakes, a beautiful stretch of the country’s legendary Route 40 linking the towns of San Martín de los Andes to Villa La Angostura.
Lake Nahuel Huapi: Boasting transparent waters, this deep blue lagoon is located in Bariloche — a charming town in Northern Patagonia known for its Swiss-influenced architecture and chocolate. Islands surround this glacial lake, making its resorts the most popular places to stay in the district.
Lake Espejo: The name, which translates as “Mirror Lake”, says it all. Nature-lovers travel far and wide to the southern Neuquén Province just to get a glimpse of the region’s rugged mountains & blue sky replicated in this glacial tectonic lake. Warm, calm waters make this a famous spot in the summertime, with watersports and fly-fishing being the most popular activities.
Lake Correntoso: Located in Villa La Angostura, this lake’s snow-melted waters travel to Lake Nahuel Huapi via the Correntoso River, which is known as the world’s shortest river. Look past Lake Correntoso’s shades of jade and you’ll see the region’s biodiversity, including rainbow and brook trouts. Visitors can head here for the day and enjoy various beach activities or sleep under the stars at one of the lake’s camping sites.
Lake Escondido: For a deeper sense of tranquility, venture off to Patagonia’s best kept secret, Lake Escondido or “Hidden Lake”. Take in captivating views of the emerald-colored water from above, as the lake is quite difficult to reach. For those who love a challenge, access the lake via horseback and expect to travel a few days along a rugged path or if time is money, spend the latter and fly by helicopter.
Lake Villarino: Sporting layers of greens and blues, this lagoon is a popular place for fishing. Travelers and locals search still water for trout amongst the backdrop of Cerro Crespo’s snowy peaks. Stay for the sunset and see the water mirror the sky with hues of purple and orange, then settle in at a grassy campground located along the shore.
Lake Falkner: Named after an eighteenth century English missionary who studied the Patagonia region, Lake Falkner greets its visitors with khaki-colored seagrass and a long sandy beach. Hikers can make their way through the Cerro Falkner trail, traveling just under 5.5 miles for spectacular vistas. North of the lake, wanders may pass Cascada Vullignanco, a 65-foot waterfall.
Lake Machónico: Derived from Mapuche, the lake’s indigenous name refers to the small crabs living among the shore. The lagoon is surrounded by a plethora of foliage — green, yellow, and red shades reflect in the water and change throughout the seasons. The small size of the lake makes it ideal for water activities, such as kayaking and canoeing, which are available year-round. | <urn:uuid:159889b3-0cdb-462c-b54e-cb5bcd158e6c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.jaxfaxmagazine.com/2021/03/01/argentinas-road-of-the-seven-lakes/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.908051 | 819 | 1.742188 | 2 |
Why are you so good at your bad habits?
(And no, this isn’t the beginning of a joke.)
Because practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes you good at what you practice.
Whatever you practice. And you practice your bad habits a lot.
So, what’s the takeaway here?
Be careful what you practice.
When it comes to practicing a physical skill or working on your posture one obstacle that’s often not mentioned—but really important—is how untrustworthy your perception may be at times.
While you’re sitting there, without thinking, just cross your arms in front of your body.
Notice how that feels to you.
Now, look down and see which arm’s on top. Switch your arms so you’re still crossing your arms but the other one’s on top.
Notice how that feels to you.
The first way usually feels normal or familiar or right.
The second way often feels a bit odd, unfamiliar or sometimes downright wrong.
The first way you cross your arms without thinking, is your habit. The second way—that often takes some thought and maneuvering—isn’t your habit.
Habits tend to feel normal and right. Even if they’re not serving you well. When trying to do something different—not your habit—you’ll have the tendency to want to go back to what feels normal and right—your habit.
Don’t worry. There isn’t anything wrong with you. You’re human.
Understanding that your perception may be a bit skewed due to your habits is a first step.
So, what to do about it?
If you’re going to take any type of fitness or yoga class, make sure it’s small enough that the teacher can come around to help you with your technique.
And that you’ve got a teacher who’s willing to come around and help.
If that isn’t possible try to find a class with big mirrors and use them.
I tap dance and we’ve got huge mirrors along one wall. I used to just stare at my feet or watch the teacher. With practice, I now watch myself from head to toe and see what I’m actually doing.
If you exercise at home, invest in a big mirror so you can see what you’re doing.
Videoing yourself can also be very useful. But only if you watch it afterwards.
If you’re undergoing PT, often the therapist will give you exercises at one visit. And then want to give you more at the next visit without reviewing the previous ones.
Insist that they watch you do your exercises from the last visit first—correcting any technique that’s wrong—before going on to the next set of exercises.
And when it comes to working on your posture, this issue with perception is one reason why Alexander teachers use their hands in one-on-one teaching.
And why Alexander lessons typically are taught privately, allowing for this type of hands-on guidance.
Ask any student whose had the opportunity to have private lessons, and they’ll tell you how invaluable that gentle touch of the teacher is to help their body “understand” a new way.
All these things will help you be more careful about what exactly it is you’re practicing.
So, you’ve a better chance of getting good at what you want to get good at.
And not something else. | <urn:uuid:f3d901d5-7fbe-4197-b5e1-1dc897d496ef> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://alexanderteachingstudio.com/wanna-change-a-habit-you-need-to-know-this/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.933833 | 749 | 2 | 2 |
Guest Operating System (Guest OS)
Techopedia Explains Guest Operating System (Guest OS)
In disk partitioning, a guest OS is simply another instance of the same operating system that can boot up for controlling a certain partitioned memory set. A virtual machine (VM) process is much different, in that a guest OS can be a different OS alternative. In VM setups, a guest OS is delivered through a virtual machine environment through a tool called a hypervisor. Again, the machine will typically have a host OS, where the guest OS will operate "within" the host OS. This can lead to limitations on file saving and other operations within the guest OS, depending on whether the guest OS is said to be "persistent."
Part of the emergence of guest operating systems in VM systems has to do with the benefits provided by virtualization. These revolutions in computing coincide with the more general concept of cloud computing, where resources are delivered, rather than hosted, in physical local hardware setups. In addition, a guest OS often takes advantage of a lean OS build, where memory requirements are further alleviated. VM setups can help with licensing issues, system requirements and more, making these an attractive part of an outsourced computing service.

Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education partners with Alive and Well Communities
Mission Statement: The Missouri DESE REACH initiative strives to help schools ensure their students and staff feel safe, welcome, and supported through trauma-informed care aligned with social-emotional supports.
As schools begin the 2020-21 school year, they are welcoming back students and staff members who have experienced unprecedented trauma, lost loved ones, experienced economic insecurity, and missed crucial socialization opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To address these needs, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has partnered with Alive and Well Communities to provide additional guidance documents, training sessions and engagement strategies for educators regarding social-emotional learning and development.
Educating schools and communities
Adapting to a "new normal"
Connecting to resources
Helping build SEL capacity
New points of emphasis: Training and educator support services.
Peer-Led Supportive Spaces (Every Thursday 4-5 p.m.)
Facilitated by both educators and licensed mental health clinicians.
- A time to talk with other educators to process experiences, increase mindfulness and wellness, begin the process of healing, and gather and build relationships as you face the challenges and opportunities of embracing the “new normal.”
- Not a therapy session, but a safe space to address the emotional, mental, and communal needs of educational staff members during the coronavirus pandemic.
You are only required to register one time. Once registered, you will receive a Zoom link which can be used to participate in all Thursday meetings. The confidentiality of educators is of the utmost importance. Zoom calls will not be recorded and participant information will not be shared.

Critical Incident Debriefing
- A Critical Incident Debrief (CID) is an intervention space for individual staff or a school district small group experiencing a crisis that cannot be resolved through other avenues and may be impacting personal and/or professional well-being. Debriefs are scheduled on an as-needed basis.
- This may range from processing the stress related to balancing family responsibilities and virtual teaching to processing the death of a student.
- The purpose is not to provide therapy but to provide the necessary crisis intervention to overcome the negative consequences of the presenting crisis while making plans to ensure ongoing safety and well-being.
- When necessary and appropriate, the licensed mental health professional will determine if greater therapeutic support is needed and discuss accessing Employee Assistance Plans or insurance services, as well as the type of service that may be most beneficial.
- The confidentiality of educators is of the utmost importance. Zoom calls will not be recorded and participant information will not be shared.
To request a Critical Incident Debrief, visit https://forms.gle/asEb3ca1ExmMV7jt9. The form can be completed by a school administrator or educator. All requests will receive a response within two business days.
REACH team training
- Customized half-day trainings for districts and schools based on their emerging needs during the pandemic with follow-up content expert support.
- Connecting schools to supports available to them from DESE and the REACH initiative, including the Missouri Model for Trauma-Informed Schools.
- Teams of 4-8 participants can include a school counselor, nurse, parent, youth leader, board member, or other staff.
Go to www.reach4mo.org for more details.
Reach4mo.org also has prerecorded trainings on educator well-being, grief, trauma-informed classroom management, and social-emotional re-entry considerations.

German public bank
|Part of a series on financial services|
German public banks form one of the three "pillars" of the German banking system, alongside private banks represented by the Association of German Banks, and cooperative banks within the German Cooperative Financial Group. Most of Germany’s public banks are members of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe.
Public banks in Germany are financial institutions typically held directly or indirectly by public sector entities such as the federal government, the states, administrative districts or cities. Not all these companies are fully publicly owned. They can also be defined as public because they provide services in the public interest.
The public banks are represented through the Bundesverband Öffentlicher Banken Deutschlands (VÖB, Association of German Public Sector Banks), one of the leading associations in the German banking industry. The association counts 34 ordinary members, but the Landesbanken, as part of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe described below, are also members of this association.
The typical public bank acts as a business development bank (Förderbank, Aufbaubank or Investitionsbank) or as an institution for the financing of international projects, infrastructure and exports. The best known representatives of this group are the KfW-Group, the NRW.Bank in North Rhine-Westphalia, the LfA Förderbank Bayern in Bavaria and the L-Bank, Staatsbank für Baden-Württemberg in Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The public development banks together manage assets of €880.9 billion. In total, 13,000 people work for the various institutions. (December 2010)
The Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe ("German Savings Banks Financial Group") is the most important group of German public banks, with 431 savings banks using the Sparkasse brand, 8 Landesbanken including the DekaBank using separate brands and 10 real-estate financing banks using the LBS brand. The Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband (DSGV, "German Savings Banks and Clearing Association") represents the interests of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe on a national and international level concerning law and the financial services industry. It also coordinates, promotes and harmonises the interests of Sparkassen.

NEW SILK ROAD
It was in 1990 when China linked its rail system to the Trans-Siberian Railway via Kazakhstan and called its uninterrupted rail link between the Chinese port city of Lianyungang and Kazakhstan the New Eurasian Land Bridge or the Second Eurasian Land-Bridge also called “The New Silk Road”. (The Schiller Institute, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, The Eurasian Land-Bridge, The most important strategic question of today, U.S.A 1997 pp. 19-20 )
Already In 1996, the Eurasian Land-Bridge conference in Beijing, defined the Eurasian Land-Bridge as the strategic long-term policy for the Chinese government (The Schiller Institute, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Bad Schwalbach Conference, How to Reconstruct the Bankrupt World, The Eurasian Land-Bridge Concept, U.S.A 2003 p. 29) It is obvious that Eurasian Land-Bridge’s long term plan is to use more Eurasian continent as a “bridge” in the trade between Asia and Europe. For the last ten years China has invested billions to modernize the “New Silk Road” and the Historic Silk Route. It means that in the future rail traffic is directed through Central Asia and the Middle East. These renewed railway lines will open faster, straighter, and more cost effective transit from Asia to Europe.
The railway corridors also open up the vast hinterlands of Asia to trade. This is the area of the largest population growth in the next century and transport lines make it possible to transport many more goods to the area in the near future. The largest concentration of the world population is in China and Southeast Asia and South Asia. One has to look at transport lines as transporting many more goods in the near future because of the population growth. So we are only at the beginning of a gigantic development. Through the new railway corridors there opens huge markets for western export, and even the vast hinterlands of Eurasia will be accessible. Modernized inter modal land bridge services will drop the costs, make export cheaper and deliver growth and jobs in Europe.
In 1995 China and Kazakhstan signed an agreement according to which Kazakhstan gets the right to use Lianyungang habour (north to Shanghai) for export and import. China and Kazakhstan have already signed an agreement on governmental level that both parts are obligated to put efforts to invest more on better railway connections. China is obviously ready to finance construction of new silk routes in other Eurasian countries. The reason is that China has constant lack of minerals which is required for its industry. The industrial growth has created a quickly growing car industry. In the nearest twenty years China will rise its car industry to circa 50 billion cars a year.
Alternative route from China goes through Turkey, passing Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Turkey. The problems of this route is weak services and slow border crossing, but these problems could be fixed. China’s railway dialogue with Turkey is only a part of China’s strategy to connect its inner railway network to Eurasia. China’s One Belt, One Road policy is designed to open up the old Silk Road routes and bring new trade opportunities,. The goal is to create world’s biggest economic zone and integrate the railway systems of Europe, Russia, Middle East and Africa into Eurasia.

This Week at NASA | This Week @ NASA: Astronauts at Work, Upcoming Mission
Our astronauts at work outside the space station …
Preparing for launch of our next planet-hunting mission …
And finding exploding stars – a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!
Our astronauts, Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold conducted a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on March 29. They made the excursion to install communications equipment for a future experiment, swap out high definition cameras, and remove some aging hoses from cooling equipment on the station’s truss. This was the 209th spacewalk in support of space station assembly, maintenance and upgrades.
The launch of NASA’s next planet-hunting spacecraft is scheduled for April 16.
TESS – the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite – is expected to find thousands of planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, orbiting the nearest and brightest stars in our cosmic neighborhood. Powerful telescopes could then search these exoplanets for important characteristics and signs – including, whether they could support life.
The planet-finding ability of our Kepler Space Telescope is well known, but a small international group of astronomers has also used Kepler to hunt for supernovae. Because it stares at single patches of space for long periods of time, Kepler is able to capture cosmic occurrences that change rapidly or pop in and out of view, like supernovae. To date, the group has found more than 20 supernovae using data from Kepler.
Associate Administrator for Science, Thomas Zurbuchen:
InSight, our next mission to Mars, is targeted to launch May 5 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The spacecraft will use its suite of instruments to probe deep beneath the surface of the Red Planet – in hopes of learning more about how all rocky planets and cosmic bodies, including Earth and its Moon, first formed.
We’re hiring new flight directors. If you think you have the right stuff to make real-time decisions to keep astronauts safe in space and lead teams of highly trained people on missions involving the International Space Station, commercial crew spacecraft, and Orion flights to the Moon and beyond – this could be your opportunity. For details and to submit your application, go to usajobs.gov. Qualifying U.S. citizens have until April 17 to submit applications.

Remembering Professor Lew Carter (1940-2019)
Introduction by Don Dillman
We are indebted to Lew Carter’s daughter, Kim, for writing this remembrance of Lew’s life and for the photo of Lew and his hiking companion Koah, taken somewhere along the Snake River Breaks near Pullman.
Lew joined the WSU faculty five years after my arrival in Pullman, and I knew at the time I had a met a special person. He could trace the integral steps of a sociological argument as meticulously as he did for his PhD dissertation and express his analyses mathematically. He loved working with graduate students whom he taught to weave their way back and forth between deep sociological perspectives and ways to quantify their importance.
Lew also felt great satisfaction in connecting with the lives of real people, and thinking qualitatively about those lives, as he did in his book on the establishment and dismantlement of a commune established in eastern Oregon. His highly regarded book, Charisma and Control in Rajneeshpuram: A Community Without Shared Values, was a masterful accomplishment. The book detailed the progressive regimentation of the Rajneeshpuram commune and the escalating hostilities between it and the surrounding communities in Oregon that eventually led to its demise. In addition to being “a good read” for nearly everyone, it offered in-depth sociological insights into the importance of shared values for regulating group processes and negotiating relationships with other groups.
Later in his career, he connected with the culture of rural communities of eastern Washington, and the cultural values of Northwest Indian tribes. Lew was at home in the classroom, but was equally at home in the hills, mountains and valleys of the rural Northwest, where this photographs captured his enjoyment of the environment that he explored at every opportunity.
By Kim Anne Carter Muñoz
LEWIS F. CARTER, retired professor of sociology, director of graduate students in sociology, and associate dean of Arts and Sciences at Washington State University, died of respiratory failure in Pullman, Washington, early on January 1, 2019, at his home. Born on May 9, 1940, in Dallas, Texas, to Travis Ferrell Carter from Tyler, Texas, and Ruby Belcher Carter, he received his primary and secondary education in Dallas. He was the first member of his family to attend college. He adored living in the Pacific Northwest, especially backpacking in rugged conditions, although he did not look forward to winter. Sometimes he had a flare for the dramatic. On the same day that he passed away, New Year’s, a Chinook wind melted the snow in Pullman.
Lewis briefly attended Southern Methodist University and studied law, but he later transferred to the University of Texas. During his studies at the UT, Austin, he met his wife, Jeanne, a valedictorian and Speech Therapy/Special Education major, from Hearn, Texas. She and Lew married on January 6, 1963, in Dallas and were together for almost 56 years at the time of his passing.
In 1966, he received his PhD in Sociology from UTexas, Austin, with his dissertation An Exchange Analysis of Cross-Ethnic Mate Selection, where he refuted statistically the hypothesis of racial caste hypogamy. Lewis’s research refuted a common hypothesis that interethnic marriage happened when the non-white spouse belonged to a higher social class than the white spouse. Using statistical data, he proved that relationships were forged across ethnic groups, often between similar social classes because of the affinity that the couples felt for each other and things they had in common. In his later career, Lewis relied more on qualitative and ethnographic research methodologies.
In 1967, he began teaching at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he continued his work on research methodology and statistics. Between 1971 and 1974, he followed Tad Blalock from Chapel Hill to the University of California, Riverside, where he served as chair of the Department of Sociology.
In 1974, Lewis was hired at Washington State University, where he taught statistics and methodology to undergraduates and graduate students. In the 1980s, he served the Department of Sociology as its graduate student director and actively recruited some of the best and most diverse students. Many of these students created new lines of sociological research in environmental sociology and applied sociology and founded graduate programs.
Lewis was known as a maverick with a mischievous sense of humor. He loved the Snake River Canyon. He often retreated there to grade students’ work and to canoe. Lew fought for the underdog, as a professor, ally, and friend.
During his time at WSU, he invited many graduate students to his family´s home for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. He considered many students from the Sociology Department to be friends, including Wei Yen, Ivan Weir, Michael Sullivan, Robert (Bobby) Emmet Jones, Candice Cleary, Abduhl Al-Zahrani, and others. Some can be traced through a list of his publications where he appears as second author, others were remembered fondly by Lewis for their shared experiences.
During the 1980s, he participated in several collaborative research projects on the environment at Hanford, Washington, and in Juneau, Alaska. He then organized a participant observation field research trip for graduate students on Rajneeshpuram. On the advice of his neighbors and friends, Louis and Margaret McNew, and colleague William (Bill) Willard, Lew moved to a farmhouse outside of Uniontown, Washington, for a sabbatical year to finish the manuscript of Charisma and Control in Rajneeshpuram: The Role of Shared Values in the Creation of Community (American Sociological Association, Rose Monograph Series), based on this research.
In the 1990s, he served as associate dean for the College of Arts and Sciences and continued to teach, working closely with Dr. John Pierce. During this time, he traveled as a visiting professor to the Ukraine, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.
In 1995, Lew was a visiting professor to Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in Merritt, B.C., where he was invited to several events associated with Lakota culture. It was an experience that would influence him for the rest of his life, perhaps in part because his family’s oral history included stories of Choctaw ancestry. He participated in the Sundance and Vision Quest for personal reasons, completing this charge when he was just over 60 years old—the same year that he retired from WSU.
When his children were young, he took them and Jeanne on several backpacking trips to the Olympic Peninsula, Northern Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado, and Montana. Later, he showed his love of the wilderness and the land to his grandson, Marcos, visiting the Snake River, Moose Creek, and the Clearwater River.
He continued to visit Wawawai, Granite Point, and other parts of Snake River canyon with his dogs Greta and Koah. Lewis was preceded in death by his sister Pat and his parents, Ruby and Travis. He is survived by his wife, Jeanne Carter, his son, Erik Carter, his daughter-in-law, Miwa Kihara, his daughter, Kim Carter Muñoz, his grandson, Marcos Luis Muñoz Carter, and his cousins, Bob Barron and Peggy Walker. | <urn:uuid:d58a8961-1853-44e8-8410-48d0401ca1e5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://soc.wsu.edu/socnews/remembering-professor-lew-carter-1940-2019/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.981757 | 1,504 | 1.9375 | 2 |

When strolling through the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill, one never ventures far before hearing the hackneyed buzzwords that typify a large, left-leaning public university. Hundreds of do-good student activists seem to exist for no other reason than to promote “awareness” about a multitude of issues or campaigns. Others relentlessly seek to foster “dialogue” about the most pressing issues of the day, but when engaged by opposing points of view, quickly resort to the ad hominem attacks of “racism” or “xenophobia.” And nearly everyone—students and faculty members alike—has one particular demographic group it wishes to “empower” over others.
One word, however, in the lexicon of the leftwing campus activist is used so frequently that it has almost lost its original meaning—“diversity.” Racial diversity, ethnic diversity, gender diversity, and even the diversity of one’s sexual orientation are all embraced and obsessed over on college campuses. UNC’s fetish over these superficial forms of diversity blocks out concern over intellectual diversity, which should be the primary mission of any institution of higher education.
There is perhaps no place on Earth more sympathetic to the left-wing doctrines of diversity and multiculturalism than the American university, and UNC is, of course, no different. The evidence is everywhere. The Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History has existed on campus since 1988 to “raise awareness of and appreciation for African-American culture by the campus community.” Just last year the university created the Carolina Latina/o Collaborative with the goal of “exploring and building collaborative relationships across campus and the community amongst diverse groups focusing on Latina/o affairs.” The Carolina Women’s Center has been around for well over a decade, curiously continuing despite the fact that nearly 60 percent of the student enrollment is female. The radical beliefs of the Black Student Movement, one of the largest and most influential student organizations at UNC, often go unchallenged by administration, faculty, and students alike. Scores of other student organizations also exist, representing every demographic group imaginable.
Despite the existence of these student groups and centers that cater to the needs of minority students on campus, UNC still believes it to be necessary to have an office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs that, among other things, affords students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to earn a Diversity Advocacy Certificate. In order to obtain this certificate, applicants must attend Diversity 101 Training and attend “four other diversity events on campus.”
I was perplexed by what the curriculum of diversity training would be, so I gathered a few conservative friends and bravely enrolled in one of the two-hour sessions. What more could be said about “diversity” at a campus already awash in it? What would we be trained to think or do?
Dr. M. Cookie Newsom, Director for Diversity Education and Assessment in the Office for Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, led the session. Fifteen people attended: Four were UNC students and the others were administrators, academic advisors, or other university employees. Five of the attendees were white—including three students—and the remaining ten were black.
At the outset, Dr. Newsom said, “This is not an exercise in groupthink. It’s not an attempt to make sure everyone comes out of here exactly on the same page . . . and intellectual diversity is a part of diversity. You have an absolute right to think whatever you want.” I appreciated hearing that. But after spending a full two hours listening to Dr. Newsom lead a discussion exclusively about promoting racial and gender diversity and nothing about fostering or encouraging intellectual diversity on campus, I cannot help but question the sincerity of her remark.
The first major topic for discussion was the question of diversity among the UNC faculty. According to a handout provided in the class, there are three times as many male full professors at UNC as there are female. This ratio will likely equalize, reported Dr. Newsom, and eventually reverse itself, because women are currently earning degrees at a greater rate than men.
Why is that an issue? One fear that she expressed was that the teaching profession might somehow become “less valued” as it becomes more female- dominated. I thought that to be a feeble speculation since students know there are some superb women on the faculty and some mediocre men.
Dr. Newsom went on to say that the growing power of women in academia will inevitably lead to changes in the ways that courses are taught. One of the attendees pressed Dr. Newsom on this statement, claiming that he did not understand how an increase in the number of female instructors would change the way the Keynesian multiplier, for example, would be presented. Dr. Newsom replied by saying that with respect to teaching a formula in a math or hard science class, “if you go into a classroom and a man and a woman are teaching exactly the same thing, you’re going to see a difference in the presentation, in the way it’s approached, and in the way it’s broken down.”
The problem with this argument is that if you go into any classroom with two different professors regardless of their gender, race, or other traits, the course will be taught slightly differently. Two male professors are going to differ in exact teaching methods as will two female professors. All professors are slightly different from one another along countless dimensions, not just race or gender.
Later, one rather contentious issue arose—diversifying the curriculum. Dr. Newsom expressed concern that some professors are only teaching works that promote the “normative values of being Christian, heterosexual, or white,” claiming that individuals not in these categories would struggle with the curriculum. She illustrated this point by describing a non-Christian law student at UNC who did not understand a professor’s reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel and had to ask a Christian friend for clarification in order to understand the allusion.
As one attendee astutely suggested, the onus of having a basic familiarity with the great works of the Western tradition should be on the student, and the university would be doing a great disservice by not educating its students to that effect. Before moving on with the discussion, Dr. Newsom left us with the rhetorical question of whether or not writing such as William Shakespeare’s is relevant to everyone or only to certain people.
Discussion then turned to the issue of race consciousness and whether or not it should be encouraged or deemphasized to avoid divisiveness. Dr. Newsom argued that it is impossible to ignore racial differences. She suggested that it would be comparable to going to a grocery store and, seeing someone standing four foot eleven trying to reach a box of cornflakes on a high shelf, not helping them because you claim you are not a “heightist,” or someone that does not see height.
I found that to be a preposterous analogy because it implies that minorities are inherently inferior to whites. Being a minority isn’t at all the same as being too short to reach something.
Lastly, Dr. Newsom raised a particularly interesting point. She said that the number one issue brought to her office is the fear expressed by black students that others will think that they were admitted to UNC because of their skin color rather than their aptitude.
It’s hard not to blame the prevalence of affirmative action programs, championed by diversity advocates, for the existence of such sentiments. Seemingly every student today can recall an example from his or her high school years in which two prospective college students with identical credentials applied to the same school, with the minority candidate getting in and the white student being rejected. If this is a diversity problem at all, it’s one that has been created by the diversity fetish itself.
Attending UNC’s Diversity 101 Training was certainly an eye-opening experience. Given the university’s obsession with all things diverse, I found the training to be a useless and unnecessary exercise. As expected, the class did nothing but further perpetuate a culture of victimhood all too common on college campuses today.
With the entirety of the class focused on promoting racial and gender diversity, not once after Dr. Newsom’s initial remark was the importance of promoting a far more substantive form of diversity—intellectual diversity—raised. Sadly, I find this to be indicative of the university’s mission today of accepting “diversity” at all costs and favoring specific demographics of people over others. | <urn:uuid:8f888406-ec22-4066-97df-dbdcff237a76> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.jamesgmartin.center/2010/05/were-all-diversity-advocates-now/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.961738 | 1,785 | 1.929688 | 2 |
You might have come across buzzwords such as containerization, docker and wondered what all the fuss was about. And why it is important to use docker in Ethiopia. Well, This tutorial series is just what you need to join the conversation. We will look through the basics of docker and why it might be useful to your workflow. Not only that by the end of this series you will be able to containerize your applications and get them ready for deployment.
Docker is a containerization platform that packages your app and all its dependencies together in the form called a docker container to ensure that your application works seamlessly in any environment. This environment might be a production or staging server. Docker pulls the dependencies needed for your application to run from the cloud and configures them automatically. You don’t need to do any extra work. Below are some benefits of Using docker
1. It is cost-effective: It takes fewer resources to run your production application. And an even fewer team of developers to maintain it. The biggest driver of most management decisions when selecting a new product is the return on investment. And docker has proven to be a very efficient option.
2. Standardization & productivity: Docker containers ensure consistency across multiple developments, release cycles and standardizing your environment. One of the biggest advantages of a Docker-based architecture is standardization. Docker provides repeatable development, build, test, and production environments. Standardizing service infrastructure across the entire pipeline allows every team member to work on a production parity environment. By doing this, engineers are more equipped to efficiently analyze and fix bugs within the application. This reduces the amount of time wasted on defects and increases the amount of time available for feature development. Another key use for docker in Ethiopia
3. Compatibility & maintainability: Eliminate the “it works on my machine” problem once and for all. One of the benefits that the entire team will appreciate is parity. Parity, in terms of Docker, means that your images run the same no matter which server or whose laptop they are running on. For your developers, this means less time spent setting up environments, debugging environment-specific issues, and a more portable and easy-to-set-up codebase. Parity also means your production infrastructure will be more reliable and easier to maintain.
4. Rapid Deployment: Docker manages to reduce deployment to seconds. This is because it creates a container for every process and does not boot an OS, unlike virtual machines. Data can be created and destroyed without worry that the cost to bring it up again would be higher than affordable. Also by sharing container reduce dependency install time while using slow network making more use of docker in Ethiopia
5. Continuous Deployment & Testing: If you need to perform an upgrade during a product’s release cycle, you can easily make the necessary changes to Docker containers, test them, and implement the same changes to your existing containers. This sort of flexibility is another key advantage of using Docker. Docker allows you to build, test and release images that can be deployed across multiple servers and cloud services like Kubernetes. Even if a new security patch is available, the process remains the same. You can apply the patch, test it and release it to production.
6. Security: And the last benefit of using docker is — security. From a security point of view, Docker ensures that applications that are running on containers are completely segregated and isolated from each other, granting you complete control over traffic flow and management. No Docker container can look into processes running inside another container. From an architectural point of view, each container gets its own set of resources ranging from processing to network stacks.
Now it’s time to get our hands dirty. The first thing you need to do is install Docker on your own system and to do that just follow the official guidelines here.
After you have done that clone this sample Project locally. It is a simple Nodejs express server that we are going to containerize using docker. Run the following instructions to clone the repo and start it locally
#clone repo git clone https://gitlab.com/Dagmawi-A/starterproject.git #cd into project directory cd starterProject #install project dependencies npm install
The next step is going to be to build our docker image and run it. Don’t be intimidated if the terms seem unfamiliar. We will go in-depth in part two of this tutorial.
Run the commands below
#build our docker image docker build -t <your-name-here>/sampleproject:v1 #run our docker image and expose ports docker run -p 8000:8000 <your-name-here>/sampleproject:v1
Now that we have got our application running in our Docker container we can access it locally in our browser.

Act for Eden NOW!
Get behind our new campaign and make a promise to Act for Eden!
This summer over 400 pupils from schools in Carlisle and the Eden Valley have taken on the challenge to Act for Eden for life in our new, unique education programme.
From taking part in the two-day programme to creating a film to inspire children everywhere, the next generation of river champions are doing their bit for healthy rivers by (literally) saving our precious freshwater supplies.
Thanks to funding from United Utilities’ CaST (catchment and strategic thinking) account, hundreds of pupils have learnt about healthy rivers and their link to our water supply.
Act for Eden for life combines field visits to explore their local river with thought-provoking classroom activities to understand the threats to river wildlife and the clean water that we use. Armed with this knowledge, pupils are then challenged to identify and make a small change to their everyday life that will use water wisely or reduce pollution to protect nature.
The film: River Champions Act for Eden
We worked with Lowther Endowed School and film-maker, Janine Bebbington of Gorgeous Media to create a film to be used as one of the learning resources. River Champions Act for Eden explores the journey that water takes from source to tap and back again and calls for everyone to take on one of seven river challenges.
As part of their research, children from years 3 and 4 went to Haweswater reservoir and years 5 and 6 visited a local Wastewater (sewage) Treatment Works where they saw first-hand the scale of the problem of unflushables – a skip full that had been sieved out of sewage water.
The film was premiered to a packed house at the school just before the end of the summer term and is now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
Learning Coordinator, Tania Crockett said:
This film project has not only given the children involved in making it a wonderful learning experience, it has also inspired their school community to rise to the challenge and take action for our rivers.
The key messages of reducing pollution by only EVER flushing the 3P’s (pee, poo and paper) and simple ways to use water wisely, are delivered by children, for children (and their families), and it really works! They understand why we need rivers to be healthy, and how the little everyday things that we do really can make a big difference if we do it collectively.
James Airton, Natural Capital Strategy and Planning Manager for United Utilities said:
Helping younger generations understand the importance of water quality and efficiency is hugely important to us. By understanding the role they can play, children can have a positive influence on the environment from an early age.
That’s why we were so keen to help Eden Rivers Trust with this important activity.
There are a few dates available in September for more primary schools in the Carlisle and Penrith areas to take part in the programme.

The TerreStar-1 telecommunications satellite was mated to its Ariane 5 launcher today, taking Arianespace’s upcoming heavy-lift mission one major step closer to the July 1 liftoff.
TerreStar-1 will be the world’s largest civilian telecommunications satellite ever launched, and it is riding as a solo payload on a dedicated Ariane 5 ECA.
(The photo at right shows TerreStar-1 being positioned on Ariane 5’s core stage during the integration process, which occurred in the upper level of the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building).
Based on Space Systems/Loral’s 1300 platform, TerreStar-1 is to provide coverage over the U.S. and Canada – offering voice, data and video communications to satellite/terrestrial mobile devices the size of a typical smart phone. The spacecraft will be operated by TerreStar Networks, Inc. and can generate over five hundred spot beams covering the Continental U.S., Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
TerreStar-1’s launch will be the third of seven missions planned by Arianespace in 2009 with the workhorse Ariane 5 launch vehicle. | <urn:uuid:4ad221b5-b1f7-4ae0-b053-ed66ec9b7b0e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.satnews.com/story.php?number=248228073 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.885151 | 260 | 2.265625 | 2 |
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the jobs outlook for teachers is predicted to grow steadily alongside the average for other fields. However, for some regions and teaching fields, jobs will grow much more rapidly, as teachers become more in demand. In the next 10 years, the number of teachers retiring will also increase, opening up job opportunities for new graduates.
Once you earn a graduate degree in education, your wage earning ability will increase, as your academic background may be more advanced than those with merely a bachelor’s degree. Having a master’s or doctorate in education will enable you to move upward in your career more quickly and put you in line for promotion to administrative positions.
Fields in Demand
In recent years, more graduates have become interested in the arts, with less of them studying the hard sciences and mathematics. Because of this, there is a greater need for new teachers capable of instructing all student levels of science and math. Learning these fields encourages students to develop an interest in academic material that can translate to a career in engineering, biology, chemistry, computer science, or statistical analysis. It also gives you a competitive edge for gaining a better position in the school of your choice.
Teaching in Urban and Rural Schools
You probably have an impression of what urban schools are like in your mind. Over-crowded, without technology, poor, and potentially perilous, these schools often do not attract many teachers. Still, urban schools need teachers too. If you like being able to create social change and really made a difference in the lives of children that may not have options placed in front of them, teaching in urban schools will provide you with the opportunity to do so.
What about rural schools? Far away from big cities, these schools may have a low student population, and therefore, may not pay as much as suburban schools. Still, for teachers who like the quiet life and living in the country, this will be a strategic selling point.
More children than ever before are being diagnosed with autism spectrum and attention-deficit disorders. As a teacher looking at graduate schools in education, research to find out more about these disorders so you can understand the learning disabilities that your students may have. Taking classes or specializing in special education will help you when you interact with this cohort of students in the classroom.
A Boom in Higher Education
Most institutions are seeing a spike in enrollment due to external factors such as the poor state of the economy, lack of jobs, and a desire that both traditional age students and non-traditional students have to further their education in order to succeed. Students are more likely to take an active role in their education and will want to learn career oriented material.
If you are an individual interested in education but you do not want to teach young children in elementary school or teens in high school, earning a graduate degree in education and teaching adults at the college level can be an interesting path to take. | <urn:uuid:fd1a54b8-041f-4c3f-8635-0b25ee0aa4bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.petersons.com/blog/overview-of-job-opportunities-for-graduates-in-education/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.966885 | 600 | 2.8125 | 3 |
City & Metropolitan Planning students in the College of Architecture + Planning, achieve high recognition at the American Planning Association, Utah Chapter Virtual Awards Event. Held virtually last week, the awards “recognize plans, projects, programs, and individuals that are making a significant contribution to planning in Utah,” according to the APA Utah website.
Both projects were part of the Spring 2020 Graduate Workshop on Small Town and Resort Community Planning, taught by Bruce Parker, ACIP. This course explores the unique complexities and variety of small towns and resort communities in the United States and around the world. The class provides opportunities to work directly with communities in providing a valuable planning product and experience.
Despite the abrupt shift to online classes due to COVID-19, the workshop students produced high-quality professional-level work for two small towns in Utah.
Winner – High Achievement Award: Stockton Town General Plan
Prepared by Jake Gallaher, Byron Head, Mikala Jordan, Kayla Mauldin, Teresa Mikesell, and Bradley Potter
As Stockton’s previous General Plan was written by Tooele County staff in 2002, Mayor Thomas Karjola, Stockton Town Council members, and the Planning Commissioners recognized the need for a new General Plan. They coordinated with professor Bruce Parker, University of Utah, and City and Metropolitan Planning Department’s “Resort and Small Town Planning” Master’s-level class took on the General Plan as their semester-long project.
This plan contains six major sections: who we are, land use, connectivity, housing, economic development/recreation, and the annexation policy plan. “Who we are” presents information regarding Stockton’s history, current demographics, housing conditions, and the economy. Understanding Stockton’s current conditions ensures that the plan is well-informed and data-driven.
Winner – Merit Award: Midway Town Square Analysis and Opportunities Report
Prepared by Briam Amaya Perez, Ian Bradley, Emmanuel De’Mzee, Molly Gaughran, and Monika Roy
The Midway Town Square Analysis and Opportunities Report was compiled over a three month period during the Spring 2020 academic semester. The report is intended to provide an overview of various planning and urban design opportunities regarding the Midway Town Square and adjacent areas.
As a centrally located public space, there is an opportunity for the community to envision the Town Square as not only a space that serves a few key uses, but as a place that is central to the daily social life in Midway. The purpose of this Town Square Report is to guide the vision of the square by identifying opportunities for improvements that help to achieve this vision.

That’s right. Every public tweet, ever, since Twitter’s inception in March 2006, will be archived digitally at the Library of Congress. That’s a LOT of tweets, by the way: Twitter processes more than 50 million tweets every day, with the total numbering in the billions.”
“Just a few examples of important tweets in the past few years include the first-ever tweet from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey (http://twitter.com/jack/status/20), President Obama’s tweet about winning the 2008 election (http://twitter.com/barackobama/status/992176676), and a set of two tweets from a photojournalist who was arrested in Egypt and then freed because of a series of events set into motion by his use of Twitter (http://twitter.com/jamesbuck/status/786571964) and (http://twitter.com/jamesbuck/status/787167620).”

I thought this was a good comment:
- Joshua Rogers April 16, 2010 at 1:05 amMost of the negative comments on here seem to be quite odd. It’s as though most people believe that removing a tweet actually removes all record of its existence. Google archives twitter, different websites aggregate tweets, tweets get retweeted or sent to cell phones. Once it’s out, it’s out.
There is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Showing anger at the Library of Congress for archiving tweets also shows a lack of understanding about how the internet works. Anyone requiring a warning that words can’t be unsaid should probably not be using such a service (or the internet as a whole.) When you distribute information (such as a tweet) you lose the ability to control it any further.
Additionally, it might be worth mentioning that people probably shouldn’t tweet things that they don’t want others to see. I’d hoped that was obvious though. | <urn:uuid:1fe071e8-82ab-4233-bc18-678ce7eaa3b6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://drbexl.co.uk/2010/12/06/twitter-is-archived/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.919457 | 425 | 2.203125 | 2 |

Schafersman v. Agland Coop
Nebraska Supreme Court
631 N.W.2d 862 (2001)
John and Eileen Schafersman (plaintiffs) bought oats from Agland Coop (Agland) (defendant). The Schafersmans then mixed the oats with other types of feed and fed the mix to their dairy cows. The cows became sick. The Schafersmans lost milk, cows, and money and sued Agland. Agland admitted that the oats had been contaminated with a hog supplement but claimed that none of the extra ingredients were toxic to cows at the levels present in the supplement. At trial, the Schafersmans’ expert, Dr. Wallace Wass, testified that even though no one mineral was present at a toxic level, the combination of subtoxic minerals created by the contaminated oats had made the cows sick. Wass called this theory multiple-mineral toxicity. Wass admitted that the theory was based mostly on observation and had not been proven through a controlled study. Agland’s expert testified that the theory of multiple-mineral toxicity had not been generally accepted by the scientific community. The jury awarded damages to the Schafersmans, and Agland appealed. On appeal, Agland argued that Wass’s expert testimony should have been excluded because it was based on a novel theory that had not been generally accepted by the scientific community.

reddit user jerfoo created a lovely and simple photo series demonstrating the difference between experimental science - testing data and finding things out based on evidence - and dogmatic faith - belief in something rigidly and without wavering.
Read the whole thing; it's wonderfully done. It's been making the rounds on the net, and I like the way it's set up and the message it delivers. Not everyone is so unwavering in their dogma, but enough people are (especially those who run this country) that this should be required reading by the time every US citizen reaches elementary school.

On August 25, 1950, in anticipation of a crippling strike by railroad workers, President Harry S. Truman issues an executive order putting America’s railroads under the control of the U.S. Army, as of August 27, at 4:00 pm.
Truman had already intervened in another railway dispute when union employees of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Railway Company threatened to strike in 1948. This time, however, Truman’s intervention was critical, as he had just ordered American troops into a war against North Korean communist forces in June. Since much of America’s economic and defense infrastructure was dependent upon the smooth functioning of the railroads, the 1950 strike proposed by two enormous labor organizations, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors, posed an even greater threat. In July, Truman ordered the formation of an emergency board to negotiate a settlement between the railroad unions and owners. The unions ultimately rejected the board’s recommendations and, by August 25, seemed determined to carry out the strike.
In a public statement that day, Truman insisted that “governmental seizure [of the railroads] is imperative” for the protection of American citizens as well as “essential to the national defense and security of the Nation.” He used the same justification for seizing control of steel plants when the United Steel Workers union struck later in the year.
The railroad strike lasted for 21 months. Finally, in May 1952, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the Order of Railway Conductors and another union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, accepted the Truman administration’s terms and went back to work. | <urn:uuid:0566f712-1c95-4b38-af0e-4a5c5210dedb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://history.com/this-day-in-history/truman-orders-army-to-seize-control-of-railroads | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.960992 | 343 | 3.828125 | 4 |
If you own a company, you need to protect your intellectual property, such as your brand, marks and logo. Daniel Law Offices is a full service Trademark Law firm, based in Orlando, that engages in the preparation of United States trademark applications, prosecution of filed applications, as well as assignment and licensing registered trademarks. Everyday examples of registered trademarks include Burger King® and the curved shape on a bottle of Coca-Cola®, which is distinct to the brand. Other items that can be trademarked include words (i.e., Aspirin®), names, slogans, abbreviations/initials, designs, a package design, fictitious characters, color (i.e., pink for insulation), sounds and music.
Not only do legal marks protect your brand, logo design and website domain name, but it also gives your business credibility. Typically, preparation of an application is made to protect your symbol in a specific country or region. Once our Orlando Trademark Attorneys file your application with the U.S. Trademark Office, an Examiner will be assigned to review your application and to determine whether to allow the mark as submitted. During this process, our trademark lawyer will correspond with the appropriate government agencies and address any concerns the Examiner has regarding your application.
What is the Value of Selecting a Trademark?
Federal trademark registration protects your brand from being used by anyone else, anywhere in the United States of America. Furthermore, a sound (such as the chimes for NBC) or other forms of identification for your company also may be trademarked. When you spend a lot of time creating the perfect logo or jingle that defines your company, you definitely don’t want someone else to steal your work. Not all trademarks receive the same level of protection, so you must consider your company’s needs before selecting the category that is right for your business. Trademarks should be distinctive for use as your company’s logos, service marks, trade dress, brand names or slogans.
Generally speaking, marks can be categorized by the product relationship and basic strength of name to include:
- Coined Marks – A coined mark is a word (or words) that have no meaning other than as a brand name or logo, such as Xerox for copy machines or iPod for portable media player.
- Suggestive Marks – A suggestive trademark suggests rather than describes a product or service. Suggestive marks require a certain degree of imagination, thought or perception, such as Chicken of the Sea for canned tuna or Coppertone for a sun tan lotion.
- Arbitrary Marks – An arbitrary mark is a term that becomes popular in the general vocabulary without a logical relationship to specific goods or services, such as Apple for computers or Comet for household cleansers.
- Descriptive or Secondary Marks – Descriptive trademarks related to purpose, features, qualities or ingredients do not receive protection unless they acquire strength through a secondary meaning, such as RICH-N-CHIPS for chocolate chip cookies or World Book for encyclopedias.
Frequently Asked Questions about Trademarks:
Q: Does registering my business name also protect my logos and other business assets?
A: Registering your business name will prevent anyone else from using an identical or confusingly similar name (think McDarrels) for a particular type of goods or services. Secondary items such as logos, symbols and sayings are separate trademarks.
Q: Do I have to pay extra for a search?
A: You do not have to pay for an expensive search before our attorney in Orlando files a trademark application. This is because we include a direct name search in our basic trademark application fee of $975. If the name you want is already registered, we will notify you immediately and work with you to find a solution that will work for your business.
Q: How much does trademark registration cost?
A: Our flat fee for preparing and filing a new U.S. trademark application is $975, and this price includes attorneys’ fees, the government filing fee and a direct name search. Should the government challenge your application or if there are third party oppositions to your application, your application may require additional prosecution not included in this flat fee. To guarantee your application has the best chance of being allowed, use this website’s contact form, or call us at 407-841-8375 in Orlando or nationwide at 1-866-37PATENT.
Q: How long does the registration process take?
A: Once your application is filed, it could take from six months to over a year for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register your mark. Once an application is filed, the pending registration grants you certain rights from the date of filing. That means that if someone else filed the same mark after the date of your application, you will be granted full use instead of the person who subsequently filed.
Q: How long does a registered trademark last?
A: A registered trademark will last forever, so long as it is in continuous use and any maintenance fees are met.
Q: My business is small. So, how will registration help me?
A: Obtaining a trademark gives you exclusive rights – in the United States – to the item you registered. This can be almost any phrase, word, design or symbol that distinguishes and identifies your company’s services and/or goods from other companies’ goods and services. Conversely, you don’t want someone creating a logo that is close to yours – if they have a shoddy business, customers could see their one-off logo and assume that the other company is affiliated with your company. That could be devastating to your bottom line as you could lose customers because of that company if they think you are affiliated. | <urn:uuid:2de40e87-238a-4d6b-b899-183df130bacc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://danielpatents.com/practice-areas/trademarks-attorney/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.936304 | 1,186 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Larry Slawson received his master's degree at UNC Charlotte. He specializes in Russian and Ukrainian history.
Throughout historian Sheila Fitzpatrick’s book, Everyday Stalinism, Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times: Soviet Russia in the 1930s, the author explores the impact of the Great Purges on citizens living within the Soviet Union during the reign of Joseph Stalin. Similar to Orlando Figes’ later account (2008), Fitzpatrick focuses predominantly on the experiences of urban classes within Soviet cities, and points out the difficulties and hardships that each and every citizen faced in their day-to-day life under Stalinism. In contrast to historians such as Robert Thurston who argue that Soviet citizens viewed Stalin as a savior and hero to the people, however, Fitzpatrick’s use of memoirs and letters paints an entirely different story. As she points out, letters from Soviet citizens to Stalin illustrate the frustration and contempt that many people held towards Stalin and his regime – particularly during the economic hardships that gripped the Soviet Union throughout the 1930s. However, as Fitzpatrick demonstrates, personal memoirs also reveal a general tendency amongst the Soviet populace to hide such feelings since the presence of the NKVD secret police was ever-present, and always on the lookout for dissenters. Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick points out that individuals still found ways to silently resist the pressures of the purges through theft, bribery, and lies. Only by succumbing to these mannerisms, Fitzpatrick argues, were ordinary Soviet citizens able to effectively (and successfully) escape from the horrors of the purges; even though these forms of passive resistance were not always successful either, she concludes.
Fitzpatrick’s account fits nicely within modern historiographical works as her book focuses heavily upon the lives of common people, rather than the traditional, elite-centered interpretations of the purges that is often pursued by most historians. Moreover, her work rejects any notion of the Soviet people being passive victims to the terror that was unfolding around them. Fitzpatrick demonstrates through multiple examples how ordinary Soviet citizens resisted imprisonment, torture, and execution through the adoption of methods more often associated with negative connotations rather than positive.
All in all, I give Fitzpatrick’s work 5/5 Stars and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in a history of the early Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, and the Great Purges of the 1930s. This highly readable and well-written account offers an account of Soviet history that should not be ignored. Definitely check it out if you get the opportunity! You will not be disappointed.

Through the faith, love and caring of our Parish families, we will continue on at our small parish of St. Isidore’s Cathoic Church.
In 1870, ten Catholic families formed the nucleus of St. Isidore Parish. A French priest, Fr. Mollier, stationed at St. Joseph, KS, made the journey with his team of horses to offer Mass for these people in the home of Mr. Owen McDonald. Mr. McDonald donated 10 acres of his land on which the present church stands.
The first church was built in 1873. This original church, which is the current sanctuary and sacristy, was built of rock that was hauled from a farm one mile north and one mile west of the present-day Cuba. The cornerstone on the 14 feet by 24 feet structure is dated 1873 and lists the pastor and church committeement names. In 1883 the church was enlarged with a white frame addition of 24 feet by 40 feet. This addition was paid in full with the cost of $747.37!
The rectory was built in 1893 and located about 15 yards east of the present church near the old pump that is still visible today. In that year, three parishes shared the expenses of the rectory that was bulit in Cuba. On April 9, 1907, the metal crucifix which dominates the cemetery today was donated and erected. In 1908 the sidewalk and steps were constructed replacing a plank walk.
In 1921 a rectory was purchased in Belleville. Fr. Weber moved from the Cuba rectory to the Belleville one. The Cuba rectory was later sold for $400.00 and moved within the city limits. St. Isidore was now a mission parish of Belleville. In those days from 1925 until 1944, Cuba had Mass every fourth Sunday, Munden every second Sunday and Belleville the others.
During the winter of 1929, a fire in the rock part of the church did considerable damage to the interior. The roof on the rock part caved in. Later this part was rebuilt and redecorated.
From 1944 until 1960, St. Isidore became a mission of St. John the Baptist in Clyde, Ks.
In 1945, St. Isidore began the first bazaar serving 500 to 600 people with chicken and ham dinners, also having carnival games and a free Polka dance. The bazaar continued on until changing to a soup supper in 1979 and since 1992 the Annual Turkey Supper, Bake Sale and Silent have been held.
Modernization came to the church structure in 1947 replacing the coal-burining pot bellied stove to a gas furnace, and electricity replacing the kerosene gas lamps. Wood paneling was installed in the sanctuary along with a new ceiling and a general paint job. The main altar was changed from Gothic style to Romanesque. A large wooden crucifix was placed above the altar. Also during theset imes, in 1958, a new electric organ was purchased and in 1966 the organ was moved from the choir loft to the front of the church.
In 1965, a new blonde table altar was installed so the priest would now face the congretation. In 1966 the church steeple was rebuilt and also stained windows were installed. The congregation painted the exterior of the church in 1967. Once again, in 1968, St. Isidore was a mission of St. Joseph.
In the fall of 1968, an annex was built on the front entrance of the church. This included the first indoor restroom and a small classroom/entrance room. In 1970, the interior of the church was redecorated. The men of the parish refurnished the church with the ladies providing lunches. Then in 1978 carpet was installed in the entire church and in 1979 masonite siding and shingles were put on an dnew cabinets were built in the bathroom.
New oak main altar and side altars were constructed and donated in 1981. Ceiling fans were installed in 1983 and the church was painted again in 1986 in which a new furnace was also purchased. Also a new storage building was added in 1989.
The Altar Society was established in 1889 with the first dues being a dime a month. The altar society has kept active through the years. On April 18, 1989, the St. Isidore Altar Society celebrated their 100th Anniversary with a salad supper, program and entertainment. Invited guests were women from the neiboring churches.
In 1990, air conditioning was installed and the front doors were replaced. The doors were donated as a gift to the church. In 1994, a new speaker system was installed for the first time. When August 1997 came, new vinyl siding was being put on the church and also a new planter box, which was made and donated, beautifies the cemetery entrance.
St. Isidore Parish celebrated their 125 years on Sept. 13, 1998. The outdoor mass was held in the church grove. Those invited were the bishop, priests and other religions. The afternoon consisted of a potluck dinner and entertainment. A 3-oz. mug was sold as a souvenir in rememberance of the 125 years.
In 1999 St. Isidore purchased a new electronic piano thanks to a donation given. Also, in 1999, St. Isidore gained a new oak advent wreath and repair to the church bell were both through donations. In 2001 an iron trellis was donated as a memorial which adds to the flower box.
St. Isidore is full of history and has had a roster of 41 priests from 1870 until Fr. Ralph Aschenbrenner in 2001.

Our fears may be the biggest barriers to our successes.
Fear of failure haunts the entrepreneurial world, from losing key clients to running out of cash. For entrepreneurs, bravery is described as the ability to persevere in the face of adversity. These concerns are justified: According to studies, approximately 75% of businesses collapse within ten years (Entrepreneurship Statistics here).
They have the power to prevent you from pursuing your true desires; they can persuade you that your chances of success are so slim that you won't even try. Fears are tricky; they're cunning, they can be deep-seated, and they're always subconscious, which suggests you might not be aware of what is really holding you back.
Fear of failure has been described as a short-term cognitive and emotional response to a challenge to potential achievement. Fear of failure is more of a condition than a personality trait.
For fear of others' criticism, people sometimes disguise who they really are, what they truly want, and what they actually love in life. The fact is that not everybody aspires to be a billionaire or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Some people are comfortable with a life that could be categorized as unambitious. Pursuing someone else's dream, on the other hand, would never bring you happiness. You should value your principles, be true to yourself, and not be concerned about what others think. Pursue what makes you happy and what you're passionate about.
Here are 7 ways things to recognize when it comes to business and fear:
Identify Your Fears and Face Them.
The fact is, you'll never be absolutely prepared. However, you'll find it out as you move along. There's a fair chance you'll fail. However, you will improve as a result of your errors and failures. Surround yourself with people that know more than you and never stop learning.
It’s hard to build a solid action plan to accomplish what you want to achieve if you don’t set goals. You’re pinning your hopes on chance if you don’t have a plan, and hoping for luck isn’t a good strategy.
Focus on your why.
What motivated you to start your company? What motivates you to do what you do? Make a note of it. When you need an extra boost to conquer your anxiety, focus on your why and your goals.
Believe in Yourself.
It's more important to speak to yourself than it is to listen to yourself. Try talking to yourself like a champion for a week instead of speaking to yourself like a victim. The findings will, without a doubt, astound you. Talking to yourself may seem strange at first but give it a shot and see if it's worth the "weirdness."
Build and Maintain a Support System.
We become more reliant on our support system as we take on more responsibility in an organization, whether it's managing a community of critical accounts or moving up the management food chain. Great leaders develop and leverage their support networks through their companies, clients, and markets.
It is OK to Say No.
You might be saying NO to yourself if you never say NO to anyone else. You must learn to be frank with yourself. If a request takes you away from your goals, remember that you can respectfully decline or offer to assist at a time that is more convenient for you. There are many people who would allow you to abandon your goals in order to assist them in achieving theirs!
Accept and Embrace Your Fears.
Fear is not going anywhere. Learn from your mistakes and channel your insecurity into self-improvement and craft development. It's easier said than done but try to see fear as an opportunity to learn and develop, and keep in mind that fear can be beneficial. Courage is the ability to be terrified and yet do something. Action, over time, contributes to trust, which helps you conquer your doubts and step forward.
Be optimistic, even when things are difficult, and believe in yourself and your business. Even if it seems insane, go for what you want. “Everything you want is on the other side of fear,” George Addair once said…..

Cox's Bazar beach has become a popular destination for tourists. Tourists flocked to this longest beach in the world as it was a three- day-long vacation.
Due to huge gathering of tourists, the businessmen of the tourist city have made brisk business. Tourist police and lifeguards are working for the safety of tourists.
President of the Cox's Bazar Tour Operators Association (TOAB) Rezaul Karim told Bangladesh, “Due to three –day- holiday people flocked in Cox’s Bazar. There are nearly 500 hotels with a capacity of 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh guests and during these three days the tourist city will make a huge business.”
However, he also said, at present there are about 3.5 lakh tourists in Cox’s Bazar.
Due to sudden rise in the number of tourist hotels, motels and guest houses are all full. It is also known that many tourists have to spend the night on the road. Apart from the beaches, a large number of them are seen visiting various tourist spots.
But the tourists complained about the high charge of hotels and motels. Many could not find accommodation according to their desire.
Cox's Bazar Hotel-Motel Guest House Owners' Association general secretary Abul Kashem Sikder said, “There are no accommodation anywhere in more than 450 hotels, motels and guest houses in Cox's Bazar. These were booked long ago. So, many tourists have to spend the night on the road.”
Necessary security measures have been taken to ensure that tourists visiting Cox's Bazar are not harassed in any way, said tourist police official.
Cox’s Bazar Tourist Police SP Md. Zillur Rahman said, “The tourist police are working to ensure the safety of tourists visiting Cox’s Bazar. Tourist police will also work for the safety of tourists who visit the beach and surrounding areas at night.
Apart from the beach, other recreation centers including Marine Drive, Himchhari, Maheshkhali Adinath Temple are also buzzing with tourists. | <urn:uuid:d1fc0c2e-4f50-4a8b-b11f-f8dfc316e68b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bangladeshpost.net/posts/cox-s-bazar-draws-crowd-of-tourists-75426 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967354 | 443 | 1.710938 | 2 |
The leaving group is expelled (either chloride or alkoxide) as the carbonyl group is reformed, and a ketone is produced. The ketone then reacts with the second equivalent of Grignard to give a tertiary alcohol (as before). This is a good route to making tertiary alcohols with two identical alkyl substituents.
Which of the following reaction forms a tertiary alcohol?
Ethyl acetate (an ester) will form tertiary alcohol on reaction with excess CH3MgI.
How do you make a tertiary alcohol from a ketone?
Description: When a ketone is treated with a Grignard reagent, a new C–C bond is formed at the carbonyl carbon. Subsequent addition of acid will then give the alcohol.
How is alcohol synthesis?
Alcohols are prepared by S N2 & SN1 (solvolysis) reactions
Alkyl halides can be converted to alcohols by using S N2 reactions with OH – as a nucleophile. Substrates that undergo substitution by SN1 reaction can be converted to alcohols using water as the nucleophile (and it can even be the solvent).
What can a tertiary alcohol do?
Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon-carbon bonds, whereas primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or further oxidized to carboxylic acids. … It is a strong oxidant, and it oxidizes the alcohol as far as possible without breaking carbon-carbon bonds.
Can KMNO4 oxidize a tertiary alcohol?
Yes, that’s right. Tertiary alcohols readily undergo elimination to yield alkenes, then the KMNO4 reacts with the alkene to give syn dihydroxylation.
Which alcohol can be oxidized to a ketone?
The oxidation of alcohols is an important reaction in organic chemistry. Primary alcohols can be oxidized to form aldehydes and carboxylic acids; secondary alcohols can be oxidized to give ketones. Tertiary alcohols, in contrast, cannot be oxidized without breaking the molecule’s C–C bonds.
Why can’t you oxidise a tertiary alcohol?
Tertiary alcohols (R3COH) are resistant to oxidation because the carbon atom that carries the OH group does not have a hydrogen atom attached but is instead bonded to other carbon atoms. … Therefore tertiary alcohols are not easily oxidized.
Which alcohol can be oxidised by k2cr2o7 and h2so4 to form a ketone?
Secondary alcohols are oxidised to ketones – and that’s it. For example, if you heat the secondary alcohol propan-2-ol with sodium or potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulphuric acid, you get propanone formed.
Which alcohol is most easily dehydrated?
Which one of the following alcohols undergoes dehydration most easily? The reactivity order for dehydration of alcohols is tertiary alcohol > secondary alcohol > primary alcohol. Therefore, the alcohol, CH3 |CH3CH2-C-CH2CH3 | OH is dehydrated most rapidly.
Which alcohol will not undergo dehydration to produce an alkene?
If the reaction is not sufficiently heated, the alcohols do not dehydrate to form alkenes, but react with one another to form ethers (e.g., the Williamson Ether Synthesis). Alcohols are amphoteric; they can act both as acid or base. The lone pair of electrons on oxygen atom makes the –OH group weakly basic.
Which of the following is primary alcohol?
1. Primary Alcohols. Primary alcohols are those alcohols where the carbon atom of the hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to only one single alkyl group. Some examples of these primary alcohols include Methanol (propanol), ethanol, etc.
Is 1 butanol a tertiary alcohol?
A tertiary (3°) alcohol is one in which the carbon atom (in red) with the OH group is attached to three other carbon atoms (in blue).
Classification of Alcohols.
|Condensed Structural Formula||CH3CH2CH2CH2OH|
|Class of Alcohol||primary|
|Common Name||butyl alcohol|
What is secondary alcohol give an example?
2−propanol or isopropanol CH3−CH(OH)−CH3 is an example of a secondary alcohol. The hydroxyl group is attached to a secondary C atom (C atom bearing only one H atom).
How do you identify a tertiary alcohol?
Alcohols are organic molecules containing a hydroxyl functional group connected to an alkyl or aryl group (ROH). If the hydroxyl carbon only has a single R group, it is known as primary alcohol. If it has two R groups, it is a secondary alcohol, and if it has three R groups, it is a tertiary alcohol. | <urn:uuid:2ec909ed-e275-4c56-a72e-659132e4da8b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://disruptedphysician.com/heavy-drinking/how-do-you-synthesize-a-tertiary-alcohol.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.895861 | 1,087 | 3.140625 | 3 |

Elizabeth an Albino Child, Tells her Story
By: Elizabeth Mulenga, Sr Agnes Bwalya and Mr. Telesphore
Albinism is a hereditary condition, resulting in the absence of melanin pigment causing an individual being born with the white skin, light hair and vision problems. There are two types of albinism. Oculocutaneous albinism involves the eyes, hair and skin and Ocular albinism which is less common involving only the eyes, while skin and hair may appear similar or slightly lighter than that of the other family members.
I am Elizabeth born from two parents with very light skin, (Ocular Albinism). We are seven in the family, 5 are black but with light skin and 2 (*John and myself) are Oculocutaneous, with very light skin and hair. My eyes are not stable the eyeballs move and sometimes even my head shakes involuntarily.
My family surname is Mulenga but now my nickname is my surname…”Manda”, in English it means grave, meaning my brother *John and I are already dead, in other words we are not human beings. People in society continued calling us this, at first secretly but as days went by, it became a famous surname.
When I was born my parents were separated but my father could visit my mother, however when my youngest brother was born, my father ran away and he told my mother that,” I will go now forever”. My mother was disturbed and she dumped us. My widowed grandmother from my father’s side came to our rescue, she took us and we stayed with her for some years, where the care was not up to date. When I was ten years old my grandmother died and we went back to our mother who couldn’t manage because she was sickly and she died when I was 13yrs old. I started staying with my aunty to my mother’s side.
People in the village where we were living didn’t accept us and we were considered as “Ghosts”, because only “Ghosts” are found in the grave. When we were passing, especially a pregnant woman she would spit saliva on her chest “pupuu”, which they believed prevented them from having an albino child, even elderly women and young girls did the same.
As an albino we can’t share plates with others, I should eat alone and my plate should not be mixed with other plates. My bedding (an old coat of my grandmother) was kept outside the house and it was a bad experience with no shelter in the rainy season. I was denied family socialization and no one will touch any object that I touched or eat the food or drink I have prepared, because they believed Albinism is contagious.
I will never forget this day: I went to the river to draw water, and as I was coming back a middle-aged woman called me and said “Elizabeth from today onwards do not pass here or touch my children because when you pass here, they dream of you and hallucinate at night”, I didn’t say anything, I cried the whole night, and said to my God, “God why create me as a Ghost! Why?” That was how I vowed not to visit any home in the village, I was living in isolation, I felt lonely, unloved, useless and unworthy to live.
When I entered the classroom in our village, the female teacher never accepted me, she never talked to me or give me any work. That time I had sores on my body and one day I heard her telling others that, she cannot stand the situation it’s better she teaches other classes, her negativity made me more passive and I decided to stop school.
One day the light shone, I was called by an old lady in the village and she asked me to help her wash plates, at the river side. She held me by the hand and whispered in my ears “Elizabeth, one day your problems will flow away like the waters in the river and they will never come back again. Look at this water as it flows it will never turn back and flow in a different direction, this is how life is, once you understand life, you will not be the same and the solution is education. This old woman made me feel loved, comforted, accepted and fully human.
A few days later, she decided to take me to St. Mary’s Special School (Sponsored by Chalice.ca) with the help of St Vincent de Paul Movement. When I reached school, I saw my friends wearing shoes, sleeping on beds, eating while sitting on a bench/chair, within myself I couldn’t believe it.
I was happy, in fact more than happy, especially when I saw other Albino children. To be sincere it is St. Mary’s Special School that introduced me to the wearing of shoes and sandals, I really felt uncomfortable, since eating while sitting on the chair was something I never thought of and many other traits that makes a human being feel human and comfortable.
Today I am so positive about my life, I am in grade 9 and just finished writing my junior secondary final examination. I promise the world that I will pass. * John has also found peace at the St Mary’s school and is in grade 3. I remain a good dancer, I live healthy with no sores on my body, I wear decent clothes, I have Braille and Braillo paper for my education.
An albino child is fully human, fully alive, we send thanks to you so many people.

DIY Scalloped Pumpkins or Ornaments with the Cricut Wave Tool
Alright, has anyone else gotten the wave tool from Cricut but have been too scared to use it? So was I! Well this is for you! A perfect beginners project and a versatile one at that. I unwrapped my wave tool and bravely put it to good use. I encourage you to do the same or buy one because there’s nothing to be afraid of! Let me show you how I did DIY scalloped pumpkins or ornaments with the Cricut Wave Tool!
This post probably contains affiliated links. My full disclosure policy is boring, but you can find it HERE.
List of Materials
Cardstock colors of your choice
String or ribbon scrap for ornament hanger
Let’s Get Started!
First you will cut your design. Be sure to have the scoring wheel in the housing to begin the cut then switch to the wave blade when prompted.
Second, fold all the pieces in half on the scored line and give them a good crease. You could use a bone? But I’ve found my old-timey, wooden ruler works just as well.
Third, take one of the folded pieces and smear a thin layer of tacky glue on one side. Place the next piece on top of the glue and smush together. Wipe any excess glue that might seep out. I used a paper towel and pinched all around the edges. Above all, be sure that the folds line up evenly each time. Also keep an eye on the pieces that they don’t glue themselves together where you don’t want them together. Just periodically check and separate any as you work.
Continue gluing the pieces together until they are all done. Glue the final one and attach it to the first piece making the pumpkin. If you are making the ornament, fold your hanger string or ribbon in half and place it in the center of the ornament as shown in the photo and then glue the ornament together.
DIY Scalloped Pumpkin
When you cut the pumpkin pieces you will have to move some of the pumpkin pieces to another mat unless you used 12 x 12″ paper. Simply select the bottom 2 pumpkins of the six and create a new mat. Once there you will need to move them to the top of the paper and arrange them to be cut on your size of paper.
Since the pumpkins have a straight edge (although scalloped) be sure that as you glue the pieces together that you have lined them up right with all the flat edges together. When the DIY pumpkin is finished it will sit upright not roll.
Take the leaf and bend the stem. With a spot of glue, put it in the space at the top of the pumpkin. Roll the piece of brown paper tightly and glue the end to secure the stem.
So there you go!
How easy and fun was that?! So now you can make lots of pumpkins for your fall decorations or furthermore some cute tree ornament to hang this Christmas. Play around with the colors or change the size for variation of the pumpkin. Let your imagination run free! I would love to see your creations.

Abstract: New measurements of the solubility of carbon dioxide in water and seawater confirm the accuracy of the measurements of Murray and Riley, as opposed to those of Li and Tsui. Corrections for non-ideal behavior in the gas phase and for dissociation in distilled water are required to calculate solubility coefficients from these sets of data. Equations for the solubilities of real gases are presented and discussed. Solubility coefficients for carbon dioxide in water and seawater are calculated for the data of Murray and Riley, and are fitted to equations in temperature and salinity of the form used previously to fit the solubilities of other gases.

What's it like to be a Head Chef?
A Head Chef is a senior chef who is the leader of a kitchen, usually in a small to medium-sized business.
Tasks and duties
- Plan, design and cost menus, liaise with supplier and manage kitchen budgets.
- Supervise kitchen staff and resolve issues as they arise.
- Work closely with restaurant manager, chef team and customer service to ensure the business runs smoothly.
Head Chefs usually take on a supervisory role within the kitchen, which means that they have significant duties beyond food preparation.
A Head Chef is similar to an Executive Chef, and it is unlikely that a Head Chef and an Executive Chef would be working within the same kitchen.

How to become a Head Chef
- Complete an apprenticeship or traineeship. Full-time apprenticeships usually last for 36 months. Concurrently, complete a qualification in cooking, such as a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery (or equivalent).
- Once you’ve gained your qualification, ensure you have a food safety supervisor certificate.
- Work your way up the kitchen ladder to become a Commis Chef, then Chef de Partie, Sous Chef and then a Head Chef. | <urn:uuid:608bcfcc-3e31-4368-979a-56ee84bd7990> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.seek.com.au/career-advice/role/head-chef | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.940301 | 261 | 2.3125 | 2 |
“It’s especially odd for Miss AMERICA to have a crown, because if it’s a pageant that represents America and American values, then the symbolism is off, and has been for a long time.”
With her new book, Looking for Miss America: A Pageant’s 100-Year Quest to Define Womanhood (Counterpoint), Margot Mifflin has written a compelling, thoughtful history and exploration of a uniquely American phenomenon. We got together to talk about the story of the Miss America Pageant — sorry, Competition — and its cultural significance (including its racist restrictions), how the pageant has evolved over a century, sometimes reflecting women’s roles in America, sometimes reflecting men’s perspectives of women, the pageant’s heyday of the 1950s and ’60s and its struggles since then, and the 2018 decision to get rid of the swimsuit portion. Along the way, we talk about feminist protests of the pageant, the great life-story of 1951 winner Yolande Betbeze, the history of Atlantic City and its decline, the common elements of most Miss America memoirs, the one winner she wishes she’d interviewed, Philip Roth’s thread throughout her book, and how she’d change Miss America for this era. Give it a listen! And go read Looking for Miss America!
“The feminist protest of 1968 was the point at which second-wave feminism unleashed the phrase ‘women’s liberation’ into the public lexicon.”
“I would keep the scholarships, because that seems to be the real, concrete value of Miss America. . . . It’s benefited lower economic and middle-income women who might not have been able to college if not for these scholarships.”

Online shopping will account for more than half of all retail sales in the UK within the next 10 years, new research has predicted.
Ecommerce sales will gobble up 53% of the retail market by 2028, up from 19% currently, according to a report by Retail Economics and law firm Womble Bond Dickinson.
The research, titled The Digital Tipping Point, suggests the “digital retail-revolution is only just getting started”.
The forecast surge in online sales will be spurred by three main factors: the changing demographic of the UK adult population, the development of faster, cheaper, in-home deliveries and the declining number of physical stores.
The gen Z and millennial customer base will account for half of Britain’s adult population within the next decade, Retail Economics said. Almost two-thirds of the gen Z population – aged 16-24 – currently shop online at least once a fortnight. That compares to just 29% of those aged over the age of 65.
Millennials also spend an average of more than £42 per online transaction, and £110.45 per month.
New business models
The report added that new business models such as subscriptions and auto-replenishment services were further driving the acceleration in online shopping, as consumers seek out cheaper and faster deliveries, in addition to easier returns.
In the wake of those changes, 10% of consumers said they plan to shop less in physical stores over the next 12 months. With demand for retail property already at its lowest level since 2007, that is expected to drive further traffic online.
Despite the spike in online shopping that those factors are expected to cause, the report warned of the “risks to a digital future”.
Shoppers are becoming “increasingly aware” of the need to protect their personal data, Retail Economics said, and found that a quarter of consumers had taken steps to limit the amount of data they share with retailers.
Retail Economics chief executive Richard Lim said: “It’s no exaggeration to say that the retail industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. Despite concurrent waves of political and economic upheaval in our midst, our work with retailers suggests this is a mere distraction from the seismic structural shifts reshaping the retail landscape.
“Successful retailers have always had to reinvent themselves to stay relevant. However, the pace of change will inevitably prove too fast for many – as shown by the number of CVAs hitting the headlines. While the impact of future technologies and consumer acceptance is highly uncertain, it definitely feels like the digital retail-revolution is only just getting started.”
Womble Bond Dickinson head of retail Gavin Matthews added: “Online retail is being driven on apace due to a combination of factors, and early adopters in the retail market who can flex and adapt their business models quickly will rise to the top.
“However, as retailers leverage new technologies to support this growth, new risks also emerge. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the need to protect personal data and their privacy in order to reduce the risk of fraud, identity theft and misuse of their data.
“Real damage can be done to a retailer’s brand, and reputation with any data breach and loss of trust can have far-reaching consequences for any business and its bottom line.”

You want to adopt a Dalmatian. Do you want a young or mature Dalmatian?
We have Dalmatians of all ages in Welfare. Generally we tend to get more males than females, we tend to have more mature Dalmatians than puppies in fact we very rarely get puppies under 6 months old in Welfare. There are advantages and disadvantages to owning dogs of all ages. You should spend some time with you family talk about what you want to do with your dog. Younger dogs tend to be more active than older ones, so a younger dog may be suitable for an active outdoor family. It may be a good idea to try and meet a few adult Dalmatians. Try and spend some time with them maybe accompany their owner on a walk. Our extensive network of British Dalmatian Club volunteers and area representatives can help arrange such a meeting.
Are you at work for a few hours every day? Will the dog be left for 3-4 hours? If this is the case then a more mature Dalmatian may be less active in the home, he or she should have passed through the destructive phase and can be safely left for short periods. A younger dog may dislike being left alone and could be destructive or noisy. A mature Dalmatian may suffer from a variety of medical conditions than a younger dog, we will however support medical costs from any existing problems that a dog has when he or she is re-homed. Younger Dalmatians may be more easily trained and bad habits can be turned around more easily than mature dogs. Younger Dalmatians may be more adaptable to new routines and situations.
These issues are something you can discuss with your adoption assessor when they visit or with our Central Coordinator. We recommend that you be as flexible with your requirements as you can be, we will be able to re-home a Dalmatian with you more quickly and often the perfect dog for you family may not have been your first choice on paper.
Sadly, occasionally we have very mature Dalmatians needing a new home. Dalmatians of this age make perfect, quiet companions. Most still love a walk and are happy to meet and greet family and friends. We do not ask for a donation for our Golden Oldies over ten years of age and any medical problems these dogs may be suffering from when you adopt them will be paid for by Welfare. There is something so special about an older Dalmatian, do you think you can find a comfy chair or a place near the fire for a senior spotty, who through no fault of his or her own now find themselves alone? | <urn:uuid:ea412590-c496-44c5-92e3-e01cc4822315> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dalmatianwelfare.co.uk/living-with/young-or-old/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968711 | 535 | 1.6875 | 2 |

Is unstoppable domains on Ethereum? Unstoppable Domains Animals
Yes so in terms of Unstoppable Domains Animals…a verisign for example so all these different domain name extensions have different computer system registries and the role of the pc registry is simply to handle the administrative information for that specific domain nft domain names versus the traditional dns system what’s the difference well the conventional dns system is a centralized system as i alluded to earlier based around icann so you have icann you have your domain windows registries then you have your icann accredited domain registrars nfts by contrast are non-fungible tokens non-fungal significance like you can’t jump in and alter it however like what does that particularly mean a non-fungible token is just a piece of information found on a blockchain that is verifiable and represents an unique digital product in this instance our domain names dot crypto versus dot zill what’s the difference with these two so if you jump over to unstoppabledomainnames.com link in the description you’re going to learn that you can’t geta.com.net.org why well you can’t you ought to currently type of know why since those are managed by verisign which is a domain computer system registry which is handled by icann that belongs to the dns system that’s why you can’t get those kinds of domain names through unstoppable domain names you can only get blockchain based domain names today they only have a dot crypto in dot zo at the time of tape-recording this video the main distinction is that these two are connected to different block chains that’s it so you have Unstoppable Domains Animals
your dot crypto which is tied to the ethereum blockchain you have your dot zill which is connected to the silica block durian blockchain is way more industrialized and you have a bit more features and services built around uh at the ethereum blockchain with a dot crypto domain than you finish with a dot zill however functionally speaking they are the same tailored crypto addresses that can be established as a payment entrance so this is the primary function of unstoppable domain certainly over time as like we have decentralized web host develop over time it will be possible to use like a decentralized domain and a decentralized webhosting to create your own decentralized website presently it’s not truly possible i indicate you can do it however it’s pretty technical uh.
One-time purchase of domain.
Streamlines method which people connect with crypto addresses.
Censor resistant domain kept in your wallet.
More functionality than standard domains.
Supports 276 crypto assets.
Have to invest ETH to claim domain.
Still some concern regarding whether Unstoppable Domains will achieve extensive adoption.
Some domains are still pre-sale just.
What is Unstoppable Domains?
Unstoppable Domains was founded in 2018 by Matthew Gould, the present CEO, who saw a need for it to be much easier for users to engage with crypto addresses. The objective of Unstoppable Domains is to be like the DNS system that entered location, so users did not have to find out IP addresses in order to get to websites, except for crypto addresses.
In this way they have actually succeeded greatly, as they have created a domain system that enables users to set up payments for 276 digital properties under a single domain, while likewise being able to be used as a totally functioning site that can even have actually dApps developed onto them since the domain is hosted on the blockchain. With no yearly renewal and a single payment costs, Unstoppable Domains is an interesting tool for crypto users.
Is Unstoppable Domains Safe?
Unstoppable Domains is exceptionally safe because as soon as claimed the domains exist under your address on blockchain, suggesting they are as secure as the blockchain itself.
It is doubly safe because this likewise implies that the domain can not be blocked by anyone other than you, so your website is never ever at risk of being down due to censorship. The website for acquiring the domains is safe too and can be protected with two-factor authentication.
How Much is Unstoppable Domains?
The cost of Unstoppable Domains depends upon a two primary factors, though it must be kept in mind that buying a domain is a one-time expense and requires no annual renewals of any sort.
The very first aspect is the expense of the domain itself, this can vary from $20 USD to well over $1000 USD depending on the domain you pick, as cost is based on domain type (. crypto is more than.wallet for example), and the length of the domain name, with shorter domains costing extra. In addition, there are exceptional domains that cost 10s of thousands.
The next factor is the gas costs related to utilizing the Ethereum blockchain to claim your domain, because the domains are kept on the Ethereum blockchain, the deal to claim them is available in ETH and is not consisted of in your preliminary purchase. The gas fees you will pay will depend upon the present expense of ETH and the network congestion at the time of the deal. In general you can get likely yourself a cheap.crypto domain and claim it for under $50 total.
What Are the Best Functions of Unstoppable Domains?
There are a couple of functions of Unstoppable Domains that stand out. The truth that it is a one-time purchase without any yearly renewal is very attractive thinking about the way standard domain ownership works, and in addition, the domain is censor resistant, meaning it can not be taken down by anybody besides the owner.
The domains also have more performance than traditional domains because they can be utilized to a payment router, however also used to create websites with dApps built directly on them since they exist on the blockchain, allowing the use of smart contracts on your website. Unstoppable Domains Animals
Maybe the very best and most appealing feature of Unstoppable Domains is that is offers you a method to have one address for you to get 276 various crypto properties, indicating as soon as you set it up you will just ever need to understand your domain and your payments will be routed to the wallets you established for each cryptocurrency. It is much easier not only for you, but for anybody who you want to receive funds from.
There is only one genuine prospective dealbreaker when it pertains to using Unstoppable Domains, which is the cost of declaring your domain with Ethereum.
This may just be a dealbreaker since you do not have any Ethereum at your address and require to acquire some in order to claim your domain, or if for some reason you think it is unreasonable to pay the gas charges. Nevertheless, this is a one-time transaction cost, and unless you decide to sell/transfer your domain to somebody else it will be the extra fee connected with getting your domain. | <urn:uuid:8b917d42-3069-480e-99b8-47b4bd52f433> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.usnfra.org/unstoppable-domains-animals/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.943996 | 1,432 | 1.695313 | 2 |
Capel Garmon Burial Chamber
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
The false entries may have been created not to deceive grave robbers, as happened in ancient Egypt, but simply to create places for ceremonial observances.
Some of the original stone walls remain in the lower sections of the eastern burial chambers. Only one of the original capstones remain, however, and the main entrance was created in the 19th century when the burial chamber was used to stable horses.
Excavations have turned up bits of late Neolithic pottery of the type known as Beaker ware, and pieces of bone were discovered in the passages.
The chamber would originally have been covered in stones and probably topped with earth. The original extent of the stone mound is marked by lines of stones on the earth.
There are wonderful views from Capel Garmon westward to the peaks of Snowdonia.

Authorities in China are currently investigating the death of a man at a zoo. The man, who was visiting the zoo with his family, climbed a fence into the tiger’s enclosure.
The attack, which happened Saturday, left visitors in shock as they watched from far away. Authorities say the man, climbed the fence to avoid paying the ticket. He was with a friend, who also planned to enter the zoo without buying the ticket, but the man continued without him after he stayed back. Authorities released a statement saying that his wife and two children and his friend’s wife entered the zoo by buying tickets.
The man and his friend climbed the fence of the zoo but his friend decided to stay back. The man allegedly continued and entered another part of the zoo by passing a wire netting. After entering the enclosure, he was attacked by a tiger as visitors watched from the other side.
Photos taken by the visitors watching from far away appear to show the man inside the enclosure as tigers are near him. It was later reported that one tiger had been shot by police while three others were scared away from the area after fireworks were thrown by the enclosure. The man was taken to a hospital, where he later died from the injuries.
It is the second tiger attack in China in recent months. In July 2016, tigers attacked two women at a safari park after they got out of their car. One woman was killed while the other was seriously injured. In November, it was reported that the survivor of the tiger attack had filed a lawsuit against the park. An official investigation a month after the attack found that the park was not to blame.
The zoo was evacuated as a result of the incident and authorities are now investigating. | <urn:uuid:9b448766-e2de-4b01-b567-c1171ae213ab> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gazettereview.com/2017/01/china-man-killed-tigers-zoo-climbing-enclosure/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.995319 | 351 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Futuristic Space Condo Contrived to Fit into SpaceX starship
Outer space architecture is now part of the curriculum for students at a boarding school in Switzerland. This 23-foot-tall, 3D-printed model of a space condo is now at the school for display. The design of this condo takes cue from the SpaceX rockets.
Exploring the cosmos and beyond is no easy task. But a significant portion of the adventure needs creating buildings. Not ordinary ones by that enable people to survive in hostile conditions. Educators at the Swiss boarding school Institut auf dem Rosenberg are using the this Space Habitat to address the issue.
The habitat is now a classroom for school children to learn about science, architecture, and life on another planet without ever leaving their campus. The Boston Dynamics robot dog and three-story 3D-printed crew tower for the Rosenberg Space Habitat are all practical. These all the the result of a partnership with the Danish architectural firm SAGA Space Architects.
3D Printed Space Condo
According to Sebastian Frederiksen, founder of SAGA Space Architects, “The Rosenberg Space Habitat is state-of-the-art in analogue space habitats,” in the institute’s press release. From the first ideas to the finished, it took remarkably short amount of time to complete this functional habitat.
The habitat gets power from wind trees, a sort of wind turbine. Plus, the polymer used for print the main tower can break down and repurpose into new 3D printed buildings. That’s how Institut auf dem Rosenberg’s goal to prioritize sustainability came into play. It’s interesting to note that the main tower was built precisely to fit inside a SpaceX Starship rocket.
The first floor of the tower serves as a dedicated workshop and lab area, the second floor is for amusement, and the third floor is for sleeping. The main focus of the experiments in the habitat will be the effects that extraterrestrial life may have on humans, with modules on mental health and the importance of sensory stimulation in solitary circumstances included.
Goal of the Makers
According to Rosenberg Director General Bernhard Gademann, “Our goal is to expose young people to the issue of advanced space exploration, enabling our students to address and solve these difficult problems from a collaborative and holistic point of view.” At Rosenberg, we place a strong emphasis on integrating real-world context into the classroom rather than only concentrating on academics.
Any off-world settlement’s primary objective will be to keep humanity alive in hostile environments. How the building itself may contribute to this objective and how these structures will enable their occupants to both survive and thrive is an intriguing part of this endeavour. | <urn:uuid:b85775b6-d003-443d-b1df-96500612731c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pepuphome.com/futuristic-space-condo-contrived-to-fit-into-spacex-starship/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.916785 | 561 | 2.546875 | 3 |

No matter how physically healthy or unhealthy you are, if you’re a man over the age of forty-five, there is a 50 percent chance you have prostate enlargement. Doctors call it benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
That’s right… a 50% chance!
The symptoms of an enlarged prostate are often painful, embarrassing, and frustrating. The most common symptoms are:
* A frequent and often urgent need to urinate
* A frustrating inability to completely empty the bladder
* A weak urine stream, and painful or bloody urination.
The good news is… there are now natural treatments available to treat prostate conditions that are safe, effective alternatives to these conventional prescription drugs or surgery.
But if you suspect you are suffering from prostate problems, the very first thing to do is have your doctor or urologist accurately diagnose your condition.
There are several examinations to detect prostate enlargement and/or other prostate conditions. Some of these methods are referred to by their initials.
Digital Rectal Exam
Digital rectal exam (or DRE) is usually the first test done. And it’s just what it says: your doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum and feels the part of the prostate next to the rectum. A DRE prostate protocol reviews exam can give a general idea of the size and condition of the gland, but it’s not highly reliable in detecting prostate enlargement, since the part of the prostate that presses on the urethra can’t be felt by DRE. It is, however, more useful in diagnosing prostatitis or detecting prostate cancer.
These are initials you’ll hear tossed around a lot in relation to prostates. They stand for Prostate Specific Antigen, a protein produced by both benign and malignant prostate cells. The PSA test measures the amount of this protein in the blood. Heightened PSA levels can occur in BPH, prostatitis and prostate cancer. The test is not highly reliable, but it is considered to be more useful in detecting prostate cancer than BPH or prostatitis. Nevertheless, it’s a part of the alphabet you should be familiar with.
Urinary Flow Rate Measurement
The patient urinates into a special device that measures how quickly urine is flowing. The peak flow rateÑwhen the urine is flowing fastestÑis a more specific indication of BPH than the average rate of flow. Ultrasound This is usually only used if there is a suspicion of prostate cancer. A probe in the rectum directs sound waves at the prostate, and echo patterns of those waves form an image of the prostate on a display screen.
American Urologic Association Symptom Index
The American Urologic Association has developed a symptom index (AUASI) that has become the standard test to assess symptoms of BPH. | <urn:uuid:19be0afd-3560-44d3-ab68-ee22e2c26f92> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://zuanzao.top/2021/07/22/how-to-tell-if-you-have-an-enlarged-prostate/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.920469 | 600 | 2.234375 | 2 |
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of your skin on the face, hands, and neck. A chemical solution will be applied to the skin that’ll cause it to exfoliate and peel off eventually. The new, regenerated skin will be less wrinkled and smoother than the old skin. The new skin will also be more sensitive to the sun temporarily.
Generally, there are three types of chemical peels –
Alpha-hydroxy acid or mild acid is used for penetrating the outer layer of your skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment is useful in improving the appearance of rough skin and mild skin discoloration as well as to give your face, neck, hands, or chest a refreshed look.
Trichloroacetic acid or Glycolic acid is applied to penetrate the middle layers of the skin and remove damaged skin cells. Chemical Peel treatment is used to get rid of wrinkles, freckles, age spots, fine lines, and moderate skin discoloration. It is also useful in smoothening rough skin and treat precancerous skin growths.
Phenol or trichloroacetic acid application helps to penetrate the middle layer of the skin deeply to remove damaged skin cells. This treatment will remove moderate lines, freckles, age spots, and shallow scars. The patients will also be able to notice a dramatic improvement in skin appearance. The procedure works well on the face, neck, and other regions and you can repeat it once.
Who will be a viable candidate for a Chemical Peel Session?
Generally, light-haired and fair-skinned patients are better candidates for chemical peels. If you have darker skin, you can also experience great results depending upon the type of problem that you are treating. But you may also be more likely to have uneven skin after the procedure.
Bulges, skin bags, and severe wrinkles don’t respond well to chemical peels. They might need other kinds of surgical procedures such as a facelift, laser resurfacing, eyelid lift, brow lift, or soft tissue filler. A dermatologic surgeon will help you determine the most appropriate type of treatment for your situation.
The procedure involved with Chemical Peel Technique
Before you begin your procedure, you’ll need to have a consultation with a skincare specialist. During the visit, they’ll help you determine the best treatment option for you. They’ll let you know all the important details about the specific peel that you’ll be getting. They’ll inquire about everything that can interfere with the peel. This may also include whether you’re taking any acne medication and information about whether or not you get scars easily.
Before the chemical peel session, you must –
- Not make use of any retin or retinol, a topical medication for 48 hours at least
- Inform your skincare specialist about the medications that you take
- Not have been on Accutane for a minimum of six months
If your skincare specialist prescribes a sedative or painkiller, take it according to the instructions provided by them. You’ll likely have to take it before coming to the office.
How chemical peels are done?
Getting a chemical peel in a surgery center or a doctor’s office is easy. It is an outpatient procedure which means there is no overnight stay involved. The professionals who perform the chemical peels will first clean your skin thoroughly. Then, they’ll apply chemical solutions such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, carbolic acid, lactic acid, to small areas of the skin. This will create a controlled wound, letting the new skin take its place.
During the chemical peel, people will feel a burning sensation that’ll last around five to ten minutes followed by a stinging sensation. You can ease the stinging sensation by putting cool compresses on the skin. You might need pain medication during or after the chemical peel.
What to expect during the recovery process?
Recovery time will vary depending on the type of chemical peel you’ll receive.
Light chemical peels – The recovery time with light chemical peels will be about four to seven days. Your skin might temporarily be lighter or darker.
Medium chemical peels – Your skin will need about five to seven days to recover after a medium chemical peel, though you might have redness that’ll persist for months. You will experience some swelling and then crusts and brown blotches might appear before the new skin appears.
Deep chemical peels – A deep chemical peel causes redness and severe swelling, with burning or throbbing sensations. It is common for the patient’s eyelids to swell shut. it’ll take around 2-3 weeks for the new layer of skin to develop though cysts or white spots might last several weeks. The redness, however, can last for several months.
Will you experience any reactions?
Depending on the type of chemical peels you undergo, a reaction similar to sunburn will occur following the procedure. Chemical peel generally involves redness, followed by scaling that lasts for three to seven days.
Mild peels can be repeated in one to four-week intervals until you get what you’re looking for. Medium and deep peeling can result in swelling and blisters that may break, turn brown, and peel off over a period of 7-14 days. Medium peels can be a repeat process in 6-12 months, if necessary.
After treatment, you’ll need bandages for several days or week weeks on the part of your skin that was treated. You must avoid exposing that part of your skin for several months after the chemical peel session since your new skin will be fragile.
Conclusion – The final verdict
Chemical peels are generally a cosmetic procedure and the insurance companies rarely cover it. You’ll have to pay for the procedure out of your pocket. However, your initial consultation visit can be under coverage of insurance companies. The cost of the cosmetic procedure will vary depending on different factors like the location the expertise of the professionals, and the type of peel you wish to get. Light peels cost as low as $150 while deep peels can cost as high as $3000 or more. | <urn:uuid:23745893-b186-42f3-8fa3-f2a0ef8f2b80> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://trendposition.com/chemical-peel-guide-an-excellent-technique-to-improve-the-appearance-of-your-skin/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.92184 | 1,323 | 1.914063 | 2 |

Austria is the first Western democracy to make Covid vaccination mandatory for nearly all of its adult population, an unthinkable move and is being seen as a test case for other countries that are struggling. struggling with the pocketbook of vaccine resistance.
The sweeping measure, which easily removes the final hurdle of parliament on Thursday when it is passed by lawmakers in the Austrian upper house, will be signed into law as soon as Friday. by the president Alexander Van der Bellen of Austria.
Requests will be introduced in phases.
First, the government plans to send a letter to all Austrians in the next few weeks, informing them of the new regulations and giving them a month to comply. The exemption will only apply to pregnant women, those unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons, and those who have recently recovered from Covid-19. During this first phase, there will be no penalty for non-compliance.
That changed in mid-March, when police began conducting random checks on vaccination status – including when stopping cars. Those who fail to present proof of vaccination can be fined up to 600 euros (about $675). Those who dispute their fines could eventually see them rise to €3,600 (about $4,100).
In the third phase, where a start date has not been set, the government will create an official vaccination registry for all residents and automatically assess fines for non-compliance. However, if the pandemic recedes enough, the phase may never come into effect, officials said.
Polls show many Austrians in favor of the mandate, but the issue has also sparked a loud protest movement in the country. Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets across the country in recent months to protest against pandemic restrictions, chief among them the vaccine mandate, for the first time. propose in November. At the time, cases were on the rise in the country, mainly from unvaccinated people, and Austria recommend a key only applies to people who have not been immunized.
About 76 percent of people in Austria Now fully vaccinated. Even so, a new surge that began in late December sent the number of new cases skyrocketing to a record; daily average has almost doubled in the past two weeks.
Mandatory rather than voluntary vaccination has been a threshold that European democracies have long seemed reluctant to cross. Leaders have emphasized respect for civil liberties and contravened the policies of more authoritarian governments.
But as the pandemic drags into its third year with vaccination rates running low in some countries, some leaders have changed their mind.
Coronavirus pandemic: What you need to know
“The path to freedom is the duty of a vaccine,” said Chancellor Karl Nehammer of Austria when the law was introduced to parliament last month.
Last year, as Home Secretary, Mr. Nehammer noted the difficulty governments face in convincing skeptics to voluntarily vaccinate.
“It’s not about ideology, it’s about persuasion,” he said. “We can’t do and try to convince enough people who haven’t been immunized to get vaccinated.”
Other countries are keeping a close eye on Austria’s move towards a quasi-global mission.
In neighboring Germany, where about a third of people are not considered fully immunized, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced plans to make universal vaccination mandatory and the country is expected to introduce one next month for health care workers and residents of nursing homes and care facilities. Italy now requires nearly everyone over the age of 50 to be vaccinated; Greece has similar regulations for residents over 60 years old.

The town of Grover’s Corners is built on the smaller community of the family. The family unit is the building block of the town, where the same family names can be found on tombstones in the town cemetery going back many years. The first act of Our Town focuses mostly on two homes, those of the Gibbs and the Webbs, where the central family structure can be seen, with husband, wife, and children. Marriage is the essential union of two people that creates this family unit.
The second act of the play is centered around the creation of a new family through the marriage of George and Emily. Mr. Webb stresses to George that he is a firm believer in the importance of marriage, and Mrs. Gibbs insists that “people are meant to go through life two by two.” However, characters in the play also regard the institution of marriage more negatively at times. Both Emily and George panic as their wedding draws near, and Emily tells her father that she does not want to get married. This is partly because marriage means growing up and leaving the comfortable family structure she is used to. While George and Emily come around to marrying each other, some doubts about marriage linger in the play. Mrs. Webb says at one point that “there’s something downright cruel about sending our girls into marriage this way,” and Mrs. Gibbs calls wedding ceremonies “perfectly awful things,” and “farces.”
Moreover, marriages in Our Town tend to place wives in somewhat submissive roles. While Dr. Gibbs and Mr. Webb are loving husbands, they tend to exert some kind of control over their wives or at least have the final word in their marriages. We see this especially when Dr. Gibbs continually squashes any discussion his wife wants to have about traveling outside of Grover’s Corners or his taking a vacation from work. Nonetheless, as the ultimately happy union between George and Emily suggests, Wilder presents marriage as a beneficial institution, the fundamental building block of both the family and the town community, even if there are tragic or imperfect undertones in the play’s marriages.

Marriage and the Family Quotes in Our Town
Almost everybody in the world gets married,—you know what I mean? In our town there aren’t hardly any exceptions. Most everybody in the world climbs into their graves married.
The First Act was called the Daily Life. This act is called Love and Marriage. There’s another act coming after this: I reckon you can guess what that’s about.
And how do you think I felt!—Frank, weddings are perfectly awful things. Farces,—that’s what they are!
Yes... people are meant to go through life two by two. ’Tain’t natural to be lonesome.
Don’t you misunderstand me, my boy. Marriage is a wonderful thing,—wonderful thing. And don’t you forget that, George.
George, I was thinking the other night of some advice my father gave me when I got married. Charles, he said, Charles, start out early showing who’s boss, he said. Best thing to do is give an order, even if it don’t make sense; just so she’ll learn to obey. [...]
Well, Mr. Webb... I don’t think I could...

“Have you ever wanted something so much that you can’t imagine your life without it? For me, that’s dance.”
Chloe Bayliss is a storyteller, but she hasn’t always been a writer of stories. Well versed in storytelling through performance as a dancer and actor, this is her first book. The reason she has written her story now is to share the extremely challenging hurdles she has overcome in her life to become who she is today, hopefully inspiring others in the process.
Chloe is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary passion, a passion for dance. Starting when she was three years old, Chloe was in training to become a professional ballerina. Along the way there were many things that had to be sacrificed, time with friends and family, holidays and weekends away but her passion gave her a single focus and that was what drove her to push her body and mind to extreme lengths.
It was clear that she had the ability and commitment to be a professional dancer and at 16 years old, finally her time was coming. She had completed a gruelling round of auditions in the US and secured herself a spot in a Washington dance school. She had almost completed her diploma and was in rehearsals for the performance of a lifetime with dancers from the Australian Ballet when the plan started to unravel.
First there were aches and pains, then there was the overwhelming tiredness and headaches and soon after she found herself in the hospital emergency room and no one could tell her what was wrong. And so began Chloe’s struggle for survival.
Spending days in hospital where Chloe’s life is suspended in time, not knowing what is wrong with her and when or if things will start to turn around, she was encouraged by her doctors and mother, to write. Chloe began to keep a journal and spent hours writing about her experience, how she was feeling and what her days consisted of. She has drawn on these while writing her story.
This is a gripping and eye-opening tale, yet it’s also heart-warming and inspiring. It’s about adapting, it’s about pushing yourself to achieve your dreams and sometimes having to face the fact that you can’t control what life has in store for you despite hard work and careful planning and overwhelming passion. The resounding message is that the most important thing is to have wonderful support around you and to always keep hope.
Written for young adults, Chloe is an inspiration in not only her achievements but what she has overcome to get there. The book will have teens thinking about what is important in their lives and who they would be there for or could rely on in times of trouble. It’s very readable, Chloe has a wonderfully accessible and engaging style – you may find your teen with their nose in this book until they reach the last page. She’s also the kind of author that they’ll be interested in hearing from again so keep an eye out for events. For teachers there are also notes available via publisher Pantera Press.
Helpmann Award nominee and finalist in the prestigious 2016 Heath Ledger Scholarship, Chloe Bayliss is one of Australia’s finest emerging actresses. She has numerous credits across stage and screen, including her role in the TV Week Logie Award nominated drama Doctor Doctor which is now filming its fourth season and will air on Nine later this year.
Chloe has an extensive background in dance and choreography, having graduated from the National College of Dance with a Diploma of Dance and Performance. Her life as a dancer has taken her all over America and she now extends her knowledge to students and performers throughout Australia by running workshops, teaching and judging dance scholarships.
Chloe hopes to spark conversation around a number of matters she is passionate about, using her own story of overcoming hardship to inspire and bring awareness to others. | <urn:uuid:8754c2e9-947c-4643-aa56-ac22e78513ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.betterreading.com.au/kids-ya/a-memoir-with-a-powerful-message-review-of-en-pointe/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.984964 | 800 | 1.625 | 2 |
Prairies, are the grasslands of North America. They are located in central part of the North America. ‘Prairie’ is a French word which means a meadow or a grassland. They are vast, flat and treeless areas located away from the oceans. Prairies are watered by two great rivers-Mississippi and Missouri where a lot of wildlife is found.
These grasslands are located in the interior of the continent, away from the ocean. They have an extreme type of climate i.e. hot in summers and cold in winters. This region gets moderate rainfall. There is heavy snowfall in winters. Both summers and winters are severe. Both soil and climate are suitable for growth of grasses.
The prairies were once covered with dense and tall grasses. But today they are the biggest wheat growing areas. Prairies are also called the ‘Wheat basket of the world’. Grasses grow in summers after the rain and becomes dry in winters. The grasses are green in summers, lush green in mid summers and turn grey in winters.
Trees like willow, elder and polar are found on the banks of Mississippi and Missouri. banks of Mississipi and missouri.
Large grazing animals are found in plenty, in these grasslands. Many animals like Bison have become extinct now due to loss of their habitat and over hunting. Deer, bear, dogs, wolves, horses and rabbits are common there.
Domestic animals like goats, sheep, cows, bullocks, horses and donkeys are plenty because of extensive pastures. Birds found in these grasslands are plant and seed eaters. Bustards, falcons, hawks, owls and eagles are the common birds. Rattle snakes and bull snakes are also found in these grasslands. Insects like grasshoppers, leaf hoppers and spiders are very common in these grasslands.
WAY OF LIVING
Earlier, Red Indians lived in the prairie region of North America, Hotentots in South Africa and Kirghiz in Central Asia. These were nomadic tribes. They wandered from one place to another in search of food and water. Cattle grazing was the main occupation.
They lived in tents called Yurts which were made from animal skin. The staple food was milk, milk products and meat. Now, the life in these grasslands has been completely changed. The grasslands have been converted into farmlands. These farms are very huge and are spread over thousands of acres. In each farm, there are small homesteads where the farmer and his family and a few workers stay. Wheat, barley, oats, rye, flax and nutritious grasses are grown on these farms. Farming is done with the help of powerful modern machines. This type of farming is called Mechanised Farming. Wheat is the main crop of the Prairies. This region is also called the “Wheat Basket of the World” or “Wheat Granary of the World”. Wheat is stored in barns called Elevators. Alfaala is a good quality fodder for cattle. Southern prairies are cotton growing regions of USA.
The western part of the prairies is hilly. The soil is, coarse, rough and less fertile. This soil is, coarse, rough and less fertile. This area is, therefore, not suitable for growing crops. Cattle rearing is the main occupation of the people here. The cattle graze in open grasslands are called Ranches. Every ranch has a special place where cattle are dipped in dis infectants to protect them from diseases.
These places are called Vats. Animals are reared for their milk and meat. Modern machines are used for milking cows. Chicago is the main centre for slaughtering animals. Beef is a very important product which is exported to many European countries.
Huge reserves of iron ore, coal and mineral oil are found in prairies. In the velds of South Africa, minerals like gold, diamonds, iron ore and coal are found.
The prairies are highly industrialised. Most of the people lead a luxurious life with modern amenities. People are very hard working. This region is also called the developed region of the world with a very high standard of living. | <urn:uuid:6900d98d-af9e-45aa-8f5c-253e517bdc27> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://educationia.com/prairies-the-grasslands-1310/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.973238 | 905 | 3.421875 | 3 |

100% alpaca wool
100% fair traded
Weight: approx. 40 grams per ball
Color: dark brown
Alpaca wool Untreated, roughly cleaned, from the highest quality alpaca raw fibers in natural colors.
This raw wool can be used for all kinds of handicrafts and handicrafts, for example for felting and spinning.
It is made from 100% alpaca wool and 100% natural colors (undyed) and thus has all the good properties that alpaca wool has to show (see under "Special features of alpaca wool").
The wool is only roughly pre-cleaned and may need to be washed and combed more thoroughly for further processing for special purposes.
The alpaca wool comes from the animals of the craftsmen's association "Alto Andina" from Santa Rosa de Mazo Cruz / Puno / Peru, who have been processing their product "Alpaca wool" themselves into knitwear for several years.
Special features of alpaca wool:
Alpaca wool is very popular in the textile industry worldwide, as it is one of the finest natural fibers in the world alongside cashmere and silk. A silky shiny, extraordinarily fine, but nevertheless very resistant, elastic hair fleece makes alpaca wool a noble and yet very weatherproof material.
Unlike sheep's wool or cashmere, the alpaca hair is hollow on the inside. This gives the material unique thermal properties. In the cold, the warmed air is stored and in summer the warm air is transported outside. These outstanding properties make alpaca the ideal wool fiber for the whole year - summer and winter.
The alpaca fiber creates a very comfortable fit because it is much lighter than sheep or cotton. Garments made from this fiber have an incomparable style of elegance and unique color intensity.
Here is an overview of the properties of alpaca fiber
- moisture control
- not scratchy
- protects against UV radiation
- 22 natural shades
- softer, shinier and more supple than sheep's wool
- very strong and resistant fibers | <urn:uuid:4de82e5a-5c01-4ba9-87e9-c8410e04154d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://arte-indio.com/en/handicraft-utensils/wool/1486/100-alpaca-wool | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.903631 | 493 | 1.742188 | 2 |
WCP: Shakespeare and Working-Class Students: The Value of Irrelevance
Many first-generation students attend college to get out of the “working class” both economically and culturally. In this week’s Working-Class Perspective, Tim Francisco warns that prioritizing job readiness in the classroom can compromise the intellectual proficiency that working-class students seek in higher education and perpetuate hegemonic systems of inequality.
“The seminar discussions further revealed that, for some, educating working-class students means teaching differently from how we might teach the sons of lawyers or stockbrokers. We want to validate the perspectives from which many of us come and accommodate the pressures our students face. This is well and good, and even politically and/or morally right, but it can sometimes also lead us to avoid rigorous methodologies, which in turn could hamstring those we aim to propel forward.
Several participants said they felt pressured to teach less theory, for example, or to relax writing assignments or adjust grading criteria, all in the name of helping students complete their degrees and thus improve their economic opportunities. Of course, working-class students (like most students) do see college as a vehicle for upward mobility, but many also see college as a means of feeding their intellectual curiosity, and this is often more precious to them than to students of privilege.” | <urn:uuid:39a335b9-3d44-436a-bf60-31baa4b6a02e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lwp.georgetown.edu/visitingscholars/wcp-shakespeare-and-working-class-students-the-value-of-irrelevance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96371 | 275 | 2.140625 | 2 |
Owner/operator: The Portlands Energy Centre LP, a 50/50 limited partnership between Ontario Power Generation Inc. and TransCanada Energy Ltd.
Construction of the Portlands Energy Centre was a logistical dream: A mothballed power plant next door had an active switchyard, natural gas pipeline, and cooling water structure. The new facility put peak power into the Ontario Power Authority’s grid from its two combustion turbines only two years after collecting the necessary permits. The entire plant entered commercial service on April 23, 2009 — six weeks early.
The Portlands Energy Centre (PEC) is a gas-fired plant located on a 12-hectare parcel of land beside Lake Ontario in Port Land, about 5 kilometers southeast of downtown Toronto (Figure 1). The project site, created from a recovered landfill in 1912, has historically been used for power generation. Today, the site includes the R.L. Hearn Generating Station, built in the early 1950s and mothballed in 1983.
1. New plant docks in Port Land. The Portlands Energy Centre LP, a 50/50 limited partnership between Ontario Power Generation Inc. and TransCanada Energy Ltd., recently commissioned its 550-MW combined-cycle plant in Port Land, about 5 kilometers southeast of downtown Toronto. Courtesy: Portlands Energy Centre
However, the 115-kV Hydro One substation fed by Hearn is of strategic importance to the City of Toronto, and its proximity facilitated a direct grid connection for the new project located adjacent to Hearn. The site also has rail access and is close to a natural gas pipeline that supplied the Hearn plant in previous years. In other words, the site was ready-made for a new state-of-the-art combined-cycle plant.
The nominal 550-MW combined-cycle plant is configured as a 2 x 1 combined-cycle power block built on two 181-MW General Electric Frame 7FA combustion turbines outfitted with dry low-NOx systems. Each turbine exhausts into a horizontal triple-pressure heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG) with reheat and is configured with duct burners that can generate enough steam to produce an additional 50 MW from each HRSG in the nominally rated 290-MW Alstom steam turbine. Total project cost is expected to be approximately $730 million.
Provisions have been included in the plant design to allow for cogeneration, in the form of extraction steam directed to a heat exchanger. The facility is designed such that in the event of a steam turbine failure, steam can be bypassed to the condenser, thereby allowing both combustion turbines to continue operating.
Almost 220,000 gpm of once-through cooling water from the ship channel condenses steam, causing a discharge temperature rise of 5C. Each gas turbine can operate in simple cycle using a exhaust gas bypass stack. Lake water is pumped from a new intake on the shipping channel and discharged into the outer harbor via the existing Hearn discharge channel. The intake structure consists of four channels, one for each of the three circulating water pumps and one for the auxiliary cooling water pumps, traveling screen wash pump, and raw water pumps. Further dredging of the discharge channel was required to make the necessary flow profiles possible.
Three fuel gas compressors (two operating, one standby) boost natural gas from pipeline pressure to that required by the combustion turbines. Each compressor uses a 1.8-MW motor. A single emergency diesel generator rated at 1.8 MW was also included. A common building houses the combustion turbines, HRSGs, steam turbine, and balance-of-plant equipment. The HRSG stack, located outside the building, has a diameter of about 5.5 m and extends 75 m above grade.
The implementation agreement between PEC and Ontario Power Authority (OPA) was signed on February 10, 2006. The agreement described the basic terms and the process by which a final power supply contract would be negotiated. The 20-year accelerated "Clean Energy Supply Contract" between PEC and OPA was signed on August 18, 2006.
Simultaneously, an engineering, procurement, and construction contract was negotiated between PEC and SNC-Lavalin and signed on July 31, 2006.
Simple-cycle completion was achieved in May 2008 to accommodate OPA’s requirement for energy during the peak demand season, June through September. PEC entered the acceptance test phase on April 13 and reported its successful completion on April 21. The project turnover from SNC-Lavalin was completed on April 22, followed by commercial operation of the plant the following day — six weeks early.
"This is another great day for the Portlands Energy Centre, Ontario Power Generation, TransCanada and SNC-Lavalin, and the people of Toronto," said Curtis Mahoney, PEC general manager. "We are very proud of the many men and women who worked around the clock to complete the construction of PEC. It is on line on budget and weeks ahead of schedule."
Operational data reported shortly after the plant entered commercial service show that combustion turbine 1, operating with its dry low-NOx system, produces 22.75 ppm NOx at 15% O2. Turbine 2 was producing 25.90 ppm NOx at 14% O2. Data from the Independent Electricity System Operator in July show the plant is currently operating weekdays as an afternoon-evening peaker.
PEC expended approximately 2.5 million man-hours to construct and commission the facility.
Keep the Noise Down
PEC is located near residential and other commercial facilities, which require the plant to meet a far field noise limit of 40 dBA at the nearest receptor. Frequent, nonemergency-type emitters (such as start-up and shutdown systems) are included in this criterion. All safety relief valves are equipped with permanent silencing to meet the criteria plus 10 dBA.
PEC was focused on being a good neighbor and involved local stakeholders in the development process and construction status by forming a Public Relations and Community Liaison Committee. That committee provided recommendations to PEC regarding key aspects of the facility design and plant operations, including landscaping plans, emergency preparedness plans, and other evolving issues, such as the city’s area redevelopment plants.

The ZX Spectrum was arguably the high point of the British home computer challenge to the Americans in the 1980s
The ZX Spectrum was an iconic home computer that first emerged in 1982 and was manufactured in Dundee, Scotland by Sinclair Research Ltd.
The ZX Spectrum was immensely popular (sorry Commodore 64 fans) in the UK and Europe, and instantly stood out thanks to its rubber keyboard, its use of peripheral (i.e a joystick interface, microdrive and even a printer), and cassette tape recorders to load programs and games.
Such is the fondness for this device that a third party firm, Retro Computers Ltd (backed by Sir Clive Sinclair), is attempting to bring out a new device called the Spectrum ZX Vega+ (although with varying degrees of success).
It is fair to say that in its time, the 8-bit ZX Spectrum became a symbol of British technological progress and inspired a generation of young people to learn programming.
It also introduced home computing to the masses.
Indeed, the computer’s importance was recognised in 1986 when the company’s founder Sir Clive received a knighthood for “services to British industry”.
During its lifetime, ZX Spectrum sold in excess of 5 million units, but it was actually the third computer to be produced by Sinclair Research. The first was the ZX80, and the second was the ZX81.
So what was the ZX Spectrum? Well it was essentially a small black box with a rubber keyboard that, according to many users, felt like “dead flesh”. Each key was responsible for up to six functions, so the whole keyboard was covered in coded, arcane writing.
Initially, two models were released – one with 16kb of RAM and one with 48kb of RAM, priced at £125 and £175 respectively.
The ZX Spectrum (or Speccy as it was fondly known), was advertised as “less than half the price of its nearest competitor – and more powerful”.
And Speccy was one of the first home computers to deliver colour graphics and was capable of 256 x 192 pixel resolution when it was plugged into a television.
It also used audio cassette tapes for loading and saving programs and data, which was both a blessing and a curse, as the loading process could be highly temperamental and users often had to carefully adjust the volume to get a program or game to load properly.
And speaking of games, the ZX Spectrum assembled a vast library of 23,000 software titles, including hugely popular games such as Elite, Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, The Hobbit, Daley Thompson’s Decathlon, and this writer’s personal favourite, The Way Of Exploding Fist’ (which actually ported from the Commodore 64).
Other models of the ZX Spectrum followed soon afterwards including the ZX Spectrum+ (1984); the ZX Spectrum 128; and the ZX Spectrum +2 (produced by Amstrad, after it acquired the Spectrum range and the entire Sinclair brand in 1986 for just £5 million).
Indeed, versions of the ZX Spectrum continued to appear until the computer was officially discontinued in 1992.
And unfortunately the ZX Spectrum has been in the news of late for all the wrong reasons.
Although Retro reached its funding target of £513,000 ($624,000), no consoles have yet been shipped (it had hoped to begin shipments in February this year), and users have complained about a lack of communications from Retro Computers over the matter.
Matters are no being helped by the fact that seems to be a business dispute with two former directors.
And now the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo has, according to the BBC, intervened to stop the Vega+ from acquiring further funding. | <urn:uuid:d7c9e7d9-de55-4111-8767-d4f99b7551e0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.silicon.co.uk/workspace/tales-tech-history-zx-spectrum-207004 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.973126 | 790 | 2.703125 | 3 |
Introduction - Metaphysics Meets Science
Activities to Practice This Week
• Audio interview with Daniel Siegel, M.D., author of Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human
• Centering in Your Heart Exercise
My friend Richard Gordon developed a wonderful method called Quantum Touch that works well in conjunction with EFT. One of his exercises is to imagine a vortex of energy in the region of your heart. Keep imagining it so strongly that it becomes a physical sensation.
Now strengthen that physical sensation as much as possible. Feel the energy! Play with it; try moving it clockwise or counterclockwise, as it becomes stronger and stronger. Focus on your breath, imagining that with each breath, the energy increases.
If you do this exercise with a partner, face each other, and start sending heart energy to each other. Picture the energy getting stronger with each breath you breathe out. Breathe in their heart energy, add it to your store, and then breath out this empowered energy toward them. Create an exchange in which the energy becomes stronger with each breath.
If you do the exercise alone, imagine you’re facing a friend or loved one, or even an imaginary guide, and send the energy through your heart to this other being with each breath. As they breathe in turn, they strengthen the energy, and send it back to you. Make the energy stronger and stronger.
Now direct the energy to a place where it can be useful, such as a part of your body that is painful. If someone you know is suffering or in pain, send the energy outwards towards them. There are many stories of healing with QT when energy is transmitted in this way. Richard will even stand in a line to see a movie, or buy groceries, and breathe positive energy to those around him. This is a way in which you can contribute to creating a benevolent energy ecosystem wherever you are. | <urn:uuid:e833315f-ac42-4062-8104-9959dab8dffe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mindtomatter.com/intro/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.947447 | 391 | 1.929688 | 2 |
Authorities in Abkhazia, Georgia's breakaway region, closed two cryptocurrency mining farms in Ochamchira, a coastal town, and seized 82 machines that used stolen electricity. The information and a video of the action were shared on Wednesday (4) by the energy company Chernomorenergo. “The farms have now been eliminated,” the company wrote in the description of material posted on its Facebook page, stressing that the activity violates a government-imposed mining ban to alleviate electricity shortages. The Abkhaz government blames cryptocurrency mining for several blackouts that occurred in the region last year. In December, authorities raided homes, factories and even restaurants to cut power lines. In November, Abkhazia's energy company, Chernomorenergo, was forced to introduce continuous blackouts to prevent a power meltdown.
Cryptocurrency Miners Protest
It wasn't the first time that authorities in Abkhazia have attacked Ochamchira's cryptocurrency miners. Last month, according to information from the Russian version of the Sputnik website. the small town faced police with a demonstration after several miners lost their equipment. “These people just want to work in peace,” community representative Artimon Gabilaya told the vehicle, revealing that most have between three and five mining machines.
Cheap energy stimulated mining
Abkhazia, an autonomous republic in the Black Sea region, was once part of the Soviet Union. Authorities now see their independence supported by the Russian Federation. Interest in digital asset mining in Abkhazia dates back to 2016. Hundreds of mining companies have been created in the region. The activity proved profitable there because of the cheap cost of electricity. In 2018, the government tried to stop the activity, but it was not very successful, as the import of mining hardware was still legal there. In September 2020, authorities lifted the ban and tried to raise energy tariffs for the activity. | <urn:uuid:6a5368e1-f8be-4827-98bc-dc70f5591d46> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thegarret.org.uk/soviet-union-region-closes-cryptocurrency-miners-that-used-stolen-electricity/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.963986 | 391 | 1.828125 | 2 |

Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality across Michigan, United StatesBackground: Black populations in the United States are being disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the increased mortality burden after accounting for health and other demographic characteristics is not well understood. We examined characteristics of individuals who died from COVID-19 in Michigan by race stratified by their age, sex and comorbidity prevalence to illustrate and understand this disparity in mortality risk. Methods: We evaluate COVID-19 mortality in Michigan by demographic and health characteristics, using individual-level linked death certificate and surveillance data collected by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services from March 16 to October 26, 2020. We identified differences in demographics and comorbidity prevalence across race among individuals who died from COVID-19 and calculated mortality rates by age, sex, race, and number of comorbidities. Findings: Among the 6,065 COVID-19 related deaths in Michigan, Black individuals are experiencing 3.6 times the mortality rate of White individuals (p<0.001), with a mortality rate for Black individuals under 65 years without comorbidities that is 12.6 times that of their White counterparts (p<0.001). After accounting for age, race, sex, and number of comorbidities, we find that Black individuals in all strata are at higher risk of COVID-19 mortality than their White counterparts. Interpretation: Our findings demonstrate that Black populations are disproportionately burdened by COVID-19 mortality, even after accounting for demographic and underlying health characteristics. We highlight how disparities across race, which result from systemic racism, are compounded in crises.

Trotsky was a lot like Blaise Pascal. Both were religious zealots, the former of a secular and the latter of a more traditional spiritual religion, and yet both left behind work that was both original and interesting as long as it wasn’t too closely associated with the dogmas of their respective faiths. In Trotsky’s case, this manifested itself in some interesting intellectual artifacts that one finds scattered here and there among his books and essays. Some of these document interesting shifts in the shibboleths that have defined “progressive” ideology over the years. As a result, by the standards of today, one occasionally finds Trotsky on the right rather than the left of the ideological spectrum.
For example, when it comes to media of exchange, he sometimes seems to be channeling Grover Cleveland rather than William Jennings Bryan:
The raising of the productivity of labor and bettering of the quality of its products is quite unattainable without an accurate measure freely penetrating into all the cells of industry – that is, without a stable unit of currency. Hence it is clear that in the transitional (to true socialism, ed.) economy, as also under capitalism, the sole authentic money is that based upon gold.
In the matter of gun control, Trotsky occupied a position to the “right” of Mitch McConnell:
The struggle against foreign danger necessitates, of course, in the workers’ state as in others, a specialized military technical organization, but in no case a privileged officer caste. The party program demands a replacement of the standing army by an armed people.
The regime of proletarian dictatorship from its very beginning this ceases to be a “state” in the old sense of the word – a special apparatus, that is, for holding in subjection the majority of the people. The material power, together with the weapons, goes over directly and immediately into the hands of the workers organizations such as the soviets. The state as a bureaucratic apparatus begins to die away the first day of the proletarian dictatorship. Such is the voice of the party program – not voided to this day. Strange: it sounds like a spectral voice from the mausoleum.
However you may interpret the nature of the present Soviet state, one thing is indubitable: at the end of its second decade of existence, it has not only not died away, but not begun to “die away.” Worse than that, it has grown into a hitherto unheard of apparatus of compulsion. The bureaucracy not only has not disappeared, yielding its place to the masses, but has turned into an uncontrolled force dominating the masses. The army not only has not been replaced by an armed people, but has given birth to a privileged officers’ caste, crowned with marshals, while the people, “the armed bearers of the dictatorship,” are now forbidden in the Soviet Union to carry even nonexplosive weapons.
Finally, Trotsky wasn’t “sophisticated” enough to buy into the Blank Slate. For example,
Competition, whose roots lie in our biological inheritance, having purged itself of greed, envy and privilege, will indubitably remain the most important motive force of culture under communism too.
His bête noire, Stalin, used to refer to him as “traitor Trotsky” because he was the leader of the “left opposition.” Times change, and so do ideological dogmas. Today he would probably be more likely to find himself among the “right opportunists.” | <urn:uuid:59218f2f-90f3-4218-89b8-dee8e47460cd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://helian.net/blog/2013/04/16/history/the-legacy-of-leon-trotsky-how-far-left-was-the-left-opposition/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.964945 | 734 | 2.21875 | 2 |
The Feeding and Swallowing Program at Boston Children’s Hospital specializes in helping infants and children who have difficulty eating and drinking. The medical term for this is oropharyngeal dysphagia.
Feeding is the most complex task an infant must do on a daily basis. Some infants have difficulty learning this process. The Feeding and Swallowing Program team works with a diverse range of patients with a wide variety of diagnoses to evaluate, diagnose, and treat feeding and swallowing disorders.
Safe, efficient feeding and swallowing skills are important to allow children to meet their nutritional requirements as they grow. Eating with family and friends is also an important social activity.
What sets us apart?
The speech-language pathologists in the Feeding and Swallowing Program are licensed speech-language pathologists (CCC-SLP). They are highly trained and experienced in managing children with feeding and swallowing difficulties, and apply the principles of evidence-based practice to their work. The Feeding and Swallowing Program team strongly believes in the principles of family-centered care, and team members pride themselves in providing individualized, culturally sensitive, innovative intervention. Interpreters are available for non-English speaking patients and families. Several speech-language pathologists hold additional certifications as certified lactation counselors and board-certified swallowing specialists.
Members of our team regularly present at national and international scientific conferences, are active in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), are part-time faculty at surrounding universities, have numerous publications, and are engaged in clinical research.
Boston Children’s Hospital’s Declaration on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity
Boston Children’s is dedicated to creating a culture where all patients, families, clinicians, researchers, staff, and communities feel empowered and supported. We are committed to working together to support health equity and promote anti-racist practices. This is not merely an aspirational goal, and in August 2020, we shared our formal Declaration on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity that will be our guiding compass in making this goal a reality.
We recognize that diversity and cultural competency efforts are complex and require dedicated time, attention, and resources. We have major commitments on all fronts:
- enhancing access to the best health care
- promoting and cultivating a diverse workforce
- instilling a welcoming environment for all
- bolstering respect for cultural differences in the delivery of care
- reducing differences in health outcomes among different racial and ethnic groups
- advancing our community outreach
- developing further student and residency outreach
We will continue to evolve to ensure we provide a welcoming, inclusive environment for all staff and families. Our diversity makes us stronger. | <urn:uuid:5d8cb5e4-4202-4e29-bfa2-665f69264098> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.childrenshospital.org/programs/feeding-and-swallowing-program | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.940448 | 554 | 2.34375 | 2 |
A breeder who works with Bengal cats from an early generation should have the ability to offer their cats species-acceptable housing circumstances. Vet care can also be often cheaper for cats than for canines.

We help 500 cats day-after-day. A cat show is a judged event by which the homeowners of cats compete to win titles in various cat-registering organizations by getting into their cats to be judged after a breed commonplace. Bengal cat is a hybrid of the wild Asian Leopard cat and a domestic cat. Vet care is also often inexpensive for cats than for dogs.
I love all animals, especially cats and canines. When F1 Bengals are bred with other domestic cats, the second technology or F2 is produced. Most Bengal Cats’ coats have wealthy, extremely contrasted shades of vibrant orange to light brown, with dark spots or a particular marbling pattern.
Relating to pricing Bengal kittens the coat can play a key role. The cat is initially a wild fishing cat and can also be the state animal of the state (West Bengal). Like domestic cats, Savannahs and different home hybrids (akin to Bengals ) require appropriate anesthesia primarily based on their medical wants but would not have particular necessities as breeders typically erroneously infer.
Bengal cats aren’t any exception. Instances of 87.5% F1 (technically BC2) Savannah cats are known, but fertility is questionable at these percentage Serval ranges. Pet owners have lengthy turned to classical music and cable’s Animal Planet to distract overactive canines and bored kittens.
Within the early 60s, Mill took Malaysia,†an Asian leopard feminine cat, dwelling with hopes of cross-breeding her. Partial Red, Blue and Yellow CATs will function outdoors of the beneath instances.

Bengals are no more aggressive than your average home cat. Rumors of a wild hybrid Bengal†cat made information as early as 1889, when a version of a ALC-hybrid mix was noticed at London’s Zoological Society Gardens in Regent’s Park.
He brought the owners an enormous hamster wheel manufactured expressly for Bengals and stated that is one kind of cat that actually must be walked on a leash to dispel energy (he said their normal vary would be about 6 square metropolis blocks). | <urn:uuid:8d57bcd3-5ffa-4972-8c7c-b37d7978759d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pets2cuddle.com/scottish-wildcat.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945236 | 543 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Early specialisation is a major trend in child and adolescent sports (Hecimowich, 2004), but is this approach to athletic development research-driven and supported in both practice and theory?
Some of the scientific basis behind early specialisation might derive from the theory of deliberate practice, put forth by Eriksson, Krampe & Tech-Römer (1993) providing evidence that development into elite performance in various contexts takes 10.000 hrs of deliberate practice.
Are we misusing this theoretical framework to support our notion about elite-development, and does evidence tell us to specialise at an early age?
There has been put forward a developmental framework by Cotè and Fraser-Thomas (2007) taking the view that sport diversification, or sampling, might be a better way of developing both elite athletes and keeping more children/adolescents involved in sports. A study trying to identify how early specialisation or sampling throughout childhood and adolescent would affect end-performance, yielded a significant association between number of sports participated in at ages 11-15 and the standard of competition at the age of 18 (Bridge & Toms, 2012). In addition individuals competing in more than three sports also were more likely to be competing at the national level, compared to athletes just participating in one sport (Bridge & Toms, 2012).
A study on elite footballers from Germany found significant differences from the non-elite population in amount of time spent in non-organised leisure football in childhood, more engagement in other sports, later specialisation, and more organised football-practice from above the age of 22 years (Hornig, Aust & Güllich, 2014).
When interviewing a Norwegian elite-athlete population Gilberg and Breivik (1998) indicates a wider use of non-organised training situations in adolescent, stronger multisport-participation and later specialisation compared to a control-group that did not turn into elite-athletes.
An interesting question comes to mind when reading these findings, why do we then tend to force specialisation and how is it that the pathway to elite sports comes via multi-sports?
Cotè, Lidor and Hackford (2009) would argue that the role of deliberate play and broad sampling as a tool for developing into the elite level have several positive sides to it. Developing into elite-level sports is a long and challenging process, that often occur after maturation where peak performance usually is evident between 20-30 years of age (Coté, Lidor & Hackford, 2009). Multi-sport engagement have positive impact on long-term involvement in sports and foster a range of contexts that favourable affects on youth development.
The perhaps most interesting notion is that a large volume of deliberate play, might be one of crucial factors for kids and adolescents turning from sport-participation into choosing elite-sport pathway (Coté, Lidor & Hackford, 2009). An interesting finding from Eriksson et al`s study (1993)was that the performers that made it into elite performance, practice/play in solitude and a life long perspective on their participation in the activity was a significant factor differing them from the sub-elites. The more self-driven kids tend to become in their own developmental processes, the more intrinsically motivated they get and are easier motivated by externally controlled training contexts (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Creating spaces for deliberate play also links up closely with the creation of an mastery-oriented developmental climate (Treasure, 2001), which also provides support for intrinsic motivation and resiliency in sport participation and effort.
Deliberate play during the sampling years in adolescent provides development both physiological, motor and cognitive skills that might transfer well into their eventually chosen elite-sport (Cotè, Lidor & Hackford, 2009).
These are several points suggesting that early specialisation might not be the best idea in developing both elite athletes, but also developing good environments for all kids/adolescents. Perhaps we need to rethink our approach to elite development pathways and start focusing on how to apply multi-sport programs in addition to providing sport-specific programs in order to best prepare our future elite athletes? Deliberate practice theory might be right in the amount of training required to excel into elite sports, but this could be achieved by developing both sport-specific skills and transferable mental, social, physical and technical/tactical skills via participation in other sports. It is also potentially easier to reach a higher amount of hours (ref 10.000 hrs) when variation in training is provided.
It might be intuitive to specialise early and focus on the sport-specific skills required in any chosen sport, but the pathway to elite performance is much more complicated and should not rely only on this approach. On the basis of these theoretical considerations sport-clubs and coaches/managers should start restructuring developmental programs to fit the pathway elite athletes actually seems to follow. | <urn:uuid:0166ffb9-9771-4511-a097-8d970f3b3715> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://believeperform.com/early-specialisation-and-elite-performance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.939935 | 1,020 | 2.53125 | 3 |
Start Day Trading Now (Adams Media)
Day trading, or intraday trading, is a method that works just like it sounds: you enter a trade involving one or more stocks (or another security) and exit the trade — which you’ve only held onto for seconds, minutes, or hours — by the end of the day. The plan is to make a trade and exit with a profit — the sooner the better — and still get a good night’s sleep.
Because uninformed traders have made mistakes in the past, many myths about day trading exist. InStart Day Trading Now, you’ll learn the truth about day trading, including how much money you’ll need to get started, how to choose a broker, set up a trading account, read charts, use technical indicators, place a trade, and manage your money and emotions. Interviews with professional traders are also included.

The people of Baltimore and the family of Freddie Gray may finally start getting some justice — but it took a large-scale protest and mass civil disobedience to achieve it. As soon as the medical examination of Freddie Gray was completed, the state’s attorney, Marilyn J. Mosby, marched straight down to the War Memorial and announced that a total of 28 charges had been filed against the six officers involved, including second degree murder for the driver. They were the first steps towards justice that the people of Baltimore has been desperately waiting for, after having endured decades of abuse at the hands of the Baltimore PD.
It is a shame that it took a murder and a night of rioting to force America to sit up and listen to the repressed voices of the American ghetto. The people of Baltimore have been suffering under the yoke of a cruel and overbearing police force that has become that way because of the enormous task they’ve been burdened with; policing a community ravaged by unemployment, drug traffic, failing education systems and a crumbling safety net. The frustration felt by the disenfranchised youths of West Baltimore makes them lash out, which prompts a violent response from the police who are trying to keep some semblance of order.
It’s a self-perpetuating cycle of poverty and desperation whose roots lie not at the Baltimore Police Department but with the ravenous growth of unfettered capitalism and the use of racism keeping black Americans as an exploitable underclass, as white Americans have done throughout history. N.D.B Connolly details in an op-ed how
“Cities that are starved for income have found ways to raise revenues by way of fines and fees exacted from poor, underemployed African-Americans and migrants of color. These include property taxes and court costs. In Maryland, in particular, these come in lieu of property taxes that many of the state’s largest employers are not required to pay. The dangers of tax burdens and other unseen costs are as deadly to urban households as police brutality or fires set by “thugs.”
The use of the word “thug” has been widespread throughout the media, used by conservative media outlets to paint frustrated youths with an inherently criminal disposition, a moral corruption that is unforgivable and irreconcilable, thus discarding any potential these kids might have had to be something else, refusing to even consider the possibility that these are just kids with no opportunities and a poor education, products of a failed economy and a failing public school system, and they’re acting out in response to it.
Peaceful protests by people of all races have taken place in tens of cities across the country over the past year, but nothing has been achieved. The rate of police killings is growing– 111 killings in the month of March alone- and justice always seems just out of reach. Juries are loathe to indict police officers, the conservative corporate lobby uses their influence to protect the subjugators of the exploited classes, and the system continues. It took the burning of a CVS and a real outburst of violence for the nation to take notice- the media gave the protests on Saturday only a cursory notice before the riots on Monday made it 24/7 coverage.
The indictments for the Baltimore police officers are just a drop in the bucket of the real problems facing the black community, but it’s a good sign of progress. It’s a tragedy that a riot had to take place to effect some kind of change, but it would appear that civil disobedience and a little property damage are what it takes to get the sensationalist propaganda industry, the mainstream media, and the government to notice, because in America’s hypercapitalist society, property is more valuable than human lives.

The Linux kernel is able to run on a variety of devices made by Apple, including ones that are iOS-based where the unlocking of the bootloader is not possible with official procedures.
In June 2022, software developers Konrad Dybcio and Markuss Broks managed to run Linux kernel 5.18 on a iPad Air 2. The project made use of the Alpine Linux based Linux distribution called postmarketOS, which is primarily developed for Android devices. The developer suggested that they used the checkm8 exploit which was published back in 2019.
In 2008, Linux kernel 2.6 was ported to the iPhone 3G, using OpeniBoot.
Project Sandcastle made it possible to run Android on an iPhone 7.

ArmorThane Is Providing Major Profits During The Pandemic
During the pandemic, we have seen material shortages that have affected a vast number of industries. One sector affected is the lumber industry. Prices for two-by-fours just last May hit levels that were more than twice their previous record set three years ago.
Hope is on the horizon, however. Just two months later and lumber prices have fallen nearly 70% from that record level and are now starting to resemble wood pricing levels before the lockdown cut supplies short and boosted demand.
Despite the shortages of lumber, appliances, and other building materials that led many builders to limit the number of homes they start, total housing starts rose 3.6% in May. This creates an opportunity for the ArmorThane applicator and their polymers. As the demand for housing starts to increase, so does the need for protective coatings. A new home can benefit from open and closed cell spray foam in many ways. ArmorThane’s foam acts as an air barrier and insulation in one.
Improved indoor air quality means a healthier home. It reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling so you can see a return on your investment. ArmorFoam works its magic between the walls so you don’t see it in a finished home. But don’t think coatings can only be used for protection. ArmorThane’s polyaspartic roll-on ArmorFloor can top off the garage and make your home complete. Not only does it add great chemical and skid resistance, but it can also protect the concrete for years to come and you can even add decorative chips during the application process and make your garage truly unique looking. | <urn:uuid:35662dd9-d0d2-46b7-a73b-a245c9419175> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://polyspraycoat.com/armorthane-is-providing-major-profits-during-the-pandemic-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953687 | 350 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Thursday 26th January, 2006
Once upon a time, Mac users had a very simple choice if they were serious about backup: use Retrospect, or cross your fingers. Large Mac installations would hold off upgrading their servers until a compatible version of Retrospect became available. But how the mighty are fallen. Backup requirements have doubled every year, but the price of storage has fallen, stone-like, to the point where it often makes more economic sense for smaller networks to invest in some low-cost software and a set of external drives than a high-end solution such as Retrospect.
Retrospect is a cross-platform, client-server backup system, supporting Mac, Windows, and UNIX systems. It comes in two starter versions; Desktop, which includes licences for two remote systems; and Server, which includes 100 remote licences. Each can be expanded with additional licence packs (in sizes of 1, 10, 50, or 100 users). The Server software is installed on the Mac with the backup hardware, and every Mac (or PC or Linux box) you want to back up needs a copy of the client software. Each client can be installed with its own security code, so it can’t be used by a third party as a method for getting at secure files illegally. Once installed, the server allows you to add available clients from the network, ready to be backed up.
There are a number of conceptual hurdles that new users of Retrospect face, chief of which is the backup set. A backup set is a group of media (tapes, CDs, DVDs and hard disks) that constitute a sequence of backup snapshots. You start by creating a full backup, which can span a number of tapes, say, and to these you can then add backups incrementally using new tapes - you only need to add those files which have changed since the last backup. Sequential backup offers advantages in both speed and size, since it’s obviously quicker, the fewer the files that you need to write.
Backups can be automated using scripts. Retrospect can generate scripts for you, based on one of five options - Backup, Duplicate, Network backup, Archive, and Restore - which you can in turn alter. For each script you specify the source (a local drive and any number of networked clients), the destination (a backup set you have already defined), a schedule (so the backup can happen after-hours, say), and a set of selection criteria (essentially a set of search terms for including or excluding files from the backup). Scripts can handle recycling rotation so, for example, two backup sets are alternated daily, re-using media each week.
The real ace up Retrospect’s sleeve is its support for a huge variety of storage media. For certain things such as tape and autoloader backup, Retrospect remains the only proprietary option for Mac backup. It also supports CD and DVD writers and rewriters, FTP sites for Internet backup, and can span backups across hard disks and XServe RAID. It will even cope with hot-swappable hard disks.
If you’ve worked with Retrospect for a long time then sadly you begin to look upon it as a necessary evil. That it is a powerful piece of software is undoubtedly true, but there are a large number of niggles, which this update fails to address. In terms of interface it seems overly complex. OS X has some great GUI features that mean you shouldn’t have to burrow through seven layers just to restore a single file. If you’re going to offer people printed schedules and reports, then it should be possible to print them to PDF. And if OS X can handle doing other things while simultaneously burning a CD, why can’t Retrospect?
There are also still functional holes for such a high-end backup solution. First, only administrators can do restores - the client software offers no real interaction with the backup archive. Second, OS X has a built in ‘Wake for Network Admin Access’ option. One would think that having your Mac backed up would count as network admin access, but as yet it’s unsupported by Retrospect, so client machines need to be awake in order to be backed-up. Third, unlike the Windows version, which supports something called ‘multiple simultaneous backups’, on the Mac server only one client can be backed up at a time - so slow clients can cause a log-jam for a large network of machines.
Overall, one gets the impression that for the chaps at Dantz, the Mac is still a second-class citizen. The one big feature of this release is support for access control lists and extended file attributes on Mac OS X Tiger server, which are both surely just compatibility issues rather than new features. Retrospect is no longer the only game in town. For smaller Mac installations low-cost (not feature-poor) applications, such as Super-Duper or Chronosync (or free UN*X utilities like Rsync), mean now there is a choice out there. Admittedly these operate on the push principle (users ‘push’ data up to the server, rather than have Retrospect ‘pull’ data from the client machine), but given the price of external storage, and the ease of scripting a backup process to DVD or external drive, just being the only backup application that can write to tape no longer cuts it.
If you run a large network, and don’t have a comprehensive backup policy, then Retrospect may be a good option to look at. However, if you’re already running Retrospect, probably the only reason to upgrade to Retrospect 6.1 is for compatibility with Tiger Server. EMC Dantz seem to acknowledge this, as for once the upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 is free.

Coupang, an e-commerce giant, said on June 23 it will reinforce hygiene measures to cleanse and sterilize millions of products ordered through its Rocket Delivery.
Before the products are delivered to customers, the delivery worker will use a portable disinfectant to sterilize the product. The disinfectant is approved by the food and drug administrations of both Korea and the US, the company said.

To allow the customers to double check, Coupang said it developed an alert system to notify the deliver workers to sterilize the products before they complete the delivery.
The move comes after the company closed its distribution center in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province that became an COVID-19 infection cluster in May.
“We will take all safety measures possible for customers to purchase goods without fear. We plan to focus our technology and capabilities to set Rocket Delivery as the standard of “the safest delivery” against COVID-19,” Ko Myung-ju, the company’s employee and labor relations chief said.

P.G. Taylor. It is a name that is ever-present when speaking of Australian aviation history. It rolls off the tongue easily and when it does everyone instinctively understands with reverence. This is a name, this is a man who can stand alongside Kingsford-Smith, Ulm, Hinkler and others as a great aviation pioneer. A prolific author, Taylor was an independent, insightful and analytical man always on the look out for his next adventure. His is a name that generates some measure of recognition in many Australians although less so than his great friend Kingsford-Smith. This, hopefully, may change with the release of a new book by Rick Searle. It is the first time in some years that a book about our greatest navigator has been available in the mainstream market.
Taylor was born in Sydney in 1896 and grew up in an innocent new country. His childhood was one of outdoor adventures and he spent a lot of time sailing on Pittwater, north of Sydney. It was an idyllic upbringing punctuated by an education that attempted to smother him and set him on the path to the family business.
With the world at war, the twenty-year old joined the Royal Flying Corps and eventually flew Sopwith Pups over the Western Front. His first instructor’s approach to training disturbed Taylor so much that he refused to fly with him. It proved a wise decision and is an example of one of the many occasions when his sense of order and gut-feeling saved his life.
A distinctly worn Taylor, now with a Military Cross to his name, returned to Australia in 1919 and decided his future lay in aviation. Commercial aviation at the time was in its infancy and there were long periods where he did not fly. It was during this time, when his chosen career was not guaranteed, that he applied himself to the study of engineering and, importantly, to that of navigation by air. It had occurred to Taylor that the pioneering flights like that of Alcock and Brown across the Atlantic, magnificent as they were, had not involved much navigation at all, particularly as there was little requirement to arrive at a pinpoint target. Taylor looked to the future and saw aircraft crossing the oceans. He set to mastering navigation from the air and even developed his own equipment, and bought a DH Moth on floats, to hone his skills with practical experience.
It was his love of the water, and the realisation of the joy of operating an aircraft from its surface, that set him on a path that would rule the next forty years of his life. In the meantime, however, he needed a flying job not just to further his desire for a career in aviation but to put his hard-won knowledge into practice. He applied for a position with Kingsford-Smith’s Australian National Airways (ANA) and was initially dismayed by the seat of the pants flying and dead-reckoning that was the norm. He questioned what he had been learning and his vision of the future but, being the man he was, recognised the current state of affairs as an opportunity. There began a decade-long friendship with the men behind ANA – Charles Ulm and Charles Kingsford-Smith.
At the time, ANA only just managed to keep its head above water. It was a familiar tune for Kingsford-Smith’s ventures. They all seemed to simply get by but even that was only after tireless lobbying of the authorities, corporate supporters and careful massaging of the public image. Taylor became one of the few men allowed to fly the famous ‘Southern Cross’, VH-USU, and his navigational expertise made him first choice for Kingsford-Smith’s forthcoming adventures.
Taylor was involved in separate attempts by Ulm and Kingsford-Smith to win airmail contracts but both were thwarted by their equipment and by the authorities that already had the major airlines in their ear. He proved his mettle when he flew the first west to east crossing of the Pacific with Kingsford-Smith in the Lockheed Altair ‘Lady Southern Cross’. Flying a single engine aircraft, albeit the most modern aircraft they were to fly together, across the Pacific was a remarkable feat but a year later, 1935, they were coaxing the ‘Southern Cross’ back to Australia during an aborted mail flight to New Zealand.
The exhaust manifold of the centre engine had fallen off and smashed into the starboard propeller. Now out of balance, the propeller caused a violent vibration. The men managed to find the ideal mix of power and attitude to fly the aircraft, now on two engines, as they turned back home. The port engine, working harder than it should have been, began to burn oil at a prodigious rate. The only solution, to keep this motor going, was to drain the starboard engine’s oil tank. Taylor climbed out of the aircraft, with Kingsford-Smith losing hard won height to lessen the airstream’s impact on his body, numerous times to collect the oil and transfer it, again by climbing out of the aircraft, to the hungry port engine. It is one of the great Australian aviation stories and the stuff of legend. Our hero received the Empire Gallantry Medal (later updated to the George Cross) for his actions.
With the loss of Ulm and Kingsford-Smith, Taylor’s reputation as an aviator grew. It was as almost as though he was the last man standing (barely at times as his health took a knock after the loss of Smithy), and to some extent he was, so the spotlight easily picked him out. In the late 1930s, however, the world was starting to look dangerous again. The flying boat was the last word in long-distance travel and Taylor, ever looking forward, noted the current route from England to Australia could easily be disrupted by enemy action. An alternative Indian Ocean route was needed and Taylor discovered an aircraft, one of the very few in the region at the time, that was perfect for the job. He had found a Catalina.
The flight from Port Hedland via the Cocos and Diego Garcia to Mombasa was not without its problems but the route was proven. It was perhaps the last great pre-war pioneering flight. With the outbreak of war, Taylor, who had seen it all before, applied the same logic to the Pacific and figured his best contribution to the war effort would be to survey the southern half of the great ocean for an alternative air route. The Australian government showed little interest and, after he had wangled a flight to the US to plead his case there, Taylor found the Americans had their own plans and were not about to let an Australian get in the way. England was the next port of call for his lobbying but he met the OC of RAF Ferry Command before he left Canada. He was attracted to the idea of flying the Atlantic ferry and, after failing to attract any further interest for his Pacific venture, did just that after settling his family in a mountain cottage in south-western Quebec. He flew Liberators across the Atlantic and returned to the Pacific to again deliver Catalinas to the RAAF (he had crewed on nine of the original PBY-5s to arrive in Australia early in the war). It was a most satisfying time for his career, state of mind and his family as his wife was recovering from revolutionary radiation treatment for breast cancer. He could at last concentrate and enjoy his flying without wondering whether it would even happen. The Pacific, however, still beckoned.
The RAF finally agreed on a South Pacific survey flight and provided Taylor with a Catalina that he named ‘Frigate Bird’. After much delay, the survey left Mexico for Clipperton Island and, after setting up a base there, continued on to Australia. Taylor returned to ferry work but this time flew the transport version of the Consolidated Privateer, the RY-3, for the British Commonwealth’s new trans-Pacific service.
With the war over, Taylor dabbled in several business ventures and returned to the life of an airline pilot when he joined Bryan Monkton’s Trans Oceanic Airways (TOA) flying converted Sunderlands around the South Pacific. It was like ANA all over again with the upstart airline butting heads with the larger operators and always, it seemed, sailing fairly close to the wind. The death of Taylor’s beloved Joan, however, had him seeking a new venture and, again, he heard the call of the Pacific. Even Taylor saw that the days of the flying boat were numbered and that land-based aircraft would fly the long legs across the oceans. A South Pacific survey, locating ideal places for combined flying boat operations and airstrips, to South America caught his attention and a former RAAF Catalina became, and remains, ‘Frigate Bird II’.
The successful completion of this survey, again not without drama, saw a brief return to TOA before Taylor struck out on his own and bought a Short Sandringham. He fell in love with the aircraft at first sight and ‘Frigate Bird III’ became the flagship, and only aircraft, of the airline Pacific Cruisebird. Now it was Taylor against the giants and despite some initial success as a luxury way of touring the islands, he sold up. Heart problems caused him to fail his medical in 1959 and would continue to dog him until the heart attack that claimed him in 1966.
I have not enjoyed a book as much as this one for quite some time. Rick Searle has managed to fit Taylor’s life in to a 380+ page softcover. The main text covers 349 pages while the rest of the book contains a glossary, good index and a superb notes section filled with eye-wateringly attractive tangents the reader may find themselves following. It is a condensed biography of sorts but that is only to make it manageable and attractive to the mainstream market. I have no doubt the author could easily have written something twice as long and made it just as entertaining.
Taylor’s life and achievements are fascinating and we are fortunate he published many books of his own. Passages from these books are regularly featured throughout The Man Who Saved Smithy and the author makes no apologies for this. Who better to describe something than the man who experienced it? Here, Mr. Searle also highlights Taylor’s talent for the written word. The smaller font appears on the page to signify a quote and you dive in and are instantly immersed in his world. The more romantic reader, or even the pragmatist who appreciates such wonderful creation, will want to find Taylor’s books and completely drown in his delightful writing. I think that is one of the things the author set out to achieve.
While I don’t think we will see Taylor’s works reprinted (someone please prove me wrong), this book will generate renewed interest in the man. To help this along, the author, like Taylor, doesn’t do anything fancy. He gets on with the job and delivers an inviting narrative that gives Taylor his voice when needed but also looks beyond the flying and gets to grips with how and why the way he was. I had a couple of minor issues with the timeline as it jumped about a little here and there but that was purely a function of, correctly, not wanting to interrupt the narrative of a particular event or evolution in Taylor’s life. Other than a niggle with a date during Taylor’s RFC service and the honours precedence error on the cover (to be changed with the next printing), the editing has been well-handled (I haven’t said that in a while!) and, given the amount of information available, due to the author’s access to the National Library’s Taylor papers and the Powerhouse Museum’s (where ‘Frigate Bird II’ resides) P.G. Taylor collection, it is clear the publisher and the author have worked together well. They really have created an excellent, easy to read and accessible book.
With luck, one of Qantas’ future aircraft will be named “P.G. Taylor”. While this is somewhat ironic, given the frosty relationship Taylor had with Hudson Fysh etc, it will bring, albeit briefly, the name of Australia’s greatest navigator back to the public domain. But for The Man Who Saved Smithy, this may have been the final tip of the hat to Taylor. Now we have a book that re-introduces and celebrates the great man in as fine a fashion as possible. It is as good as any adventure tale with the added bonus that the quiet, intelligent, unassuming hero of the story receives the modern-day attention his life deserves. | <urn:uuid:2b90005e-c1dd-4db4-aca3-3e25b4697d27> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aircrewbookreview.blogspot.com/2015/08/?m=0 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.983196 | 2,648 | 2.3125 | 2 |

Newspapers have a hard time making money out of Google. Should they consider selling links? Some search engine optimisers think so, and some newspapers are said to be keen to.
Usually, this subject is only talked about on the quiet, but last week some SEOs pumped up the volume during an industry event in Brighton. Paul Careless introduced the idea of newspapers selling links, several SEO blogs discussed it and several YouTube films, since taken down and made private, carried on the discussion.
How to pimp up Google results is a subject that SEOs fight about a lot. There are various methods: You can play by the rules, or test the (faster) grey area. White hat v black hat, they call it.
As good links are relevant for your page rank in Google, you can dress up your rank with link buying, or (the correct way) by link building using real content; if you want to go deeper into that issue read Natasha Stone's informative post on the Silicon Beach Training blog.
In general, nobody really likes to talk about the practice of link buying, but a lot of companies do it. There are not only highly monetised industries such as mortgages, credit cards and loans – Yahoo and Wordpress have also been caught.
This is where newspapers come in.
There is a debate going on that newspapers companies can finally make some money online if they sell links to third-party content for money. In general, newspapers have a high page rank for search engines. If they link to someone, their search engine halo will be recognised, and the linked-to page will be easier to find.
In Stone's summary of the session in an interesting blogpost, several people considered the following idea was relevant:
Paul's basic argument was backed up by many at the BrightonSEO event, including Propellernet's Jack Hubbard: "The print costs are going up, the cost to hire a decent journalist is still there and [newspapers] are really struggling to find a business model that's going to be sustainable. Google – new kid on the block – blindsided them by basically analysing all their links and drawing conclusions as to who should be promoted to the top or the bottom… [So the newspapers are] losing all their advertising revenue to Google AdWords… and the only way [they] can make any money anymore is by selling links, because all anyone's interested in is Google positions".
And obviously some newspapers do that: "Not so long ago, we had a group of newspapers approaching us offering to sell us some links on their site, and providing examples of sites that already were using this service," writes Peter Handley in a blogpost about the BrightonSEO session.
However, playing this game is highly dangerous for newspapers, and is not to be recommended. First, it mixes up editorial and promotional content; second, if search engines find out about the practice, newspapers could lose their high page rank, and with it a lot of traffic – and advertising money.
In spite of that, the subject is likely to be sticking around. It is obviously a touchy area as the YouTube films documenting the session were switched to private after a couple of hours, and this is exactly why this won't be the last time you hear about it.
What do you think about newspapers selling links? Is it a good way to finally get some money from the web? Or do you think newspapers shouldn't touch this area with a bargepole?

Mapping of personality due to rigorous test construction
The Luxemburg University’s research team developed a test instrument completely from scratch. Main objective was to further develop existing personality diagnostics and give new impetus. As a result, the LUXXprofile is able to set a new benchmark. This is especially instrumental for those professional users who work in individual diagnostics and human-centric consulting.
Starting point of the project was the verification of existing personality diagnostics in the market. The research team examined existing motive concepts on the basis of up-to-date research data and employed state-of-the art research methodology in test development. The test itself has been validated and standardized all of a piece and was able to achieve very good values in the psychometric quality criterion. Test accuracy has many important benefits for the professional user: Highly distinguishable motives and excellent measurement accuracy make it easier to explain and understand the complexity of the individual personality. The current standardization, which is valid for many years to come, assures the informative value of the personal test result in relation to the population.
Important to know: Development, validation and documentation of the LUXXprofile was oriented on recommendations of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing of the American Educational Research Association [AERA], the American Psychological Association, the National Council on Measurement in Education and the German standard DIN 33430.
The research partner
The LUXXprofile has been developed between 2016 and 2017 at the University of Luxembourg’s ‘Computer-Based Assessment Group'. Head of the department is Professor Dr. Samuel Greiff. The department is widely recognized for the validation, examination and development of test methods, which are used by the OECD’s PISA Study.
Head of the research team that developed the LUXXprofile is Dr. Christoph Kemper. His research focus lies in personality diagnostics, personality and motivational psychology including development of innovative test methods.
Apart from excellent test quality, an important objective of the scientific development was improved transparency. The University of Luxembourg is license holder of a short scale version measuring the same motives as the LUXXprofile. This version is available for non-commercial research projects free of charge.
“The LUXXprofile is giving important impetus to future research in personality and motivation.”

For many, faith is a defining element of our personality.
Yet that faith becomes a target for some, as was seen in last year’s Britain First trial where leader Paul Golding and former deputy leader Jayda Fransen were jailed for religiously aggravated harassment.
In the 2011 census, Muslims made up just 1 per cent of the population of Kent, compared with 4.8 per cent in England and Wales.
In Folkestone and Hythe, the proportion was among the lowest of any district in the county, with just 0.6 per cent of the population being Muslim.
'The area is very open'
Mirza Hafizur Rahman, 43, runs a greengrocers as well as the Bengal Spice restaurant.
He said he appreciates that running his own business allows him the freedom to take the time to come to Friday prayers.
Having moved to Folkestone from Bangladesh 18 years ago, he said he has never had any problems and neither his wife nor his two children had experienced discrimination in the town because of their religion.
“My daughter is 15, and she goes to Folkestone School for Girls.
“She wears a head scarf when she goes there but has never had any problems there.
“They even gave her a room where she can go to pray.
“The area is very open, I think.
“People are not bad here, everyone is accepting of everyone.”
'It's got better'
Seyar Asil, 19, arrived alone in Kent when he was just 14 years old, his mother thinking it too dangerous for him to remain in Afghanistan.
At first he lived in Ashford, living with foster families, before coming to Folkestone in 2016.
Now an engineering student, he also works at a phone shop in order to send money back home to his family.
While he said the move from Afghanistan to Kent was a huge change, he did not feel his being a Muslim caused him to be mistreated.
“Back at school, they were all great to me,” he said.
“The students were more helpful than the teachers too in some ways, teaching me how to get on here.
“But at the same time, there were misconceptions, things like Muslims being terrorists.
“I tried to teach them differently, and once you know someone who is from a religion, you know not to believe lies about that religion.
“I think people get their ideas about Muslims from the media, and a lot of the time it’s negative things.
“But it’s got better. People are learning at school about Islam, learning that it’s not a religion that teacher violence.
“We need to advertise as well, that it’s not a religion that teaches violence.
“I feel accepted being in Folkestone, and with the mosque being here as well, it’s nice to know I have that sort of community too.
'London is very different to Folkestone'
Mohammed Miah, 45, lives in Camden but for the last two months has been living in Folkestone to work at his uncle's restaurant.
“London is very different to Folkestone, it’s very multicultural, even the Mosque has people from lots of different countries, different cultures,” he said.
“Here you see people from maybe three or so communities.”
Despite Folkestone having a far smaller proportion of Muslims than London, Mr Miah said he has never been made to felt like he does not belong or discriminated against.
“I really have never had any problems here,” he said.
“Maybe if I dressed up in more traditional clothing all the time, I might get a different response, I don’t know, but I only dress like this to come to the mosque.
“I don’t think you are seen as different. You might have a different religion, but it’s not like you are seen as different to other people.”

If you look after the health of your teeth, there’s no reason why they can’t last you a lifetime. However for many people, this isn’t possible and they lose their teeth far younger. Why? Often, this is simply down to the way they look after their teeth. It’s not difficult to do but you do need to create good habits and stick to them in order to have healthy teeth and gums.
The cornerstone of good oral health is brushing your teeth well. This also means with a good toothbrush, which is going to be an electric one. You will need to invest in a good brush in order to clean them well enough, but also without chipping away any of the enamel. They happens when you brush too hard. Flossing is just as important as brushing because this gets rid of dirt between the teeth where you won’t be able to reach with a brush. | <urn:uuid:3e67f61c-a6d1-4e4b-968b-1f9014d62e8e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.1000healthproducts.co.uk/maintaining-healthy-teeth-for-you-whole-life/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.977054 | 193 | 2.796875 | 3 |
Bodegas Breca was founded in 2010 with the goal of producing the finest Garnacha wines from Spain. Garnacha de Aragón, the clone used to produce the wines of Bodegas Breca, is the most ancient and genetically untouched clone of Garnacha (Grenache) in the world. Garnacha was first cultivated in this northeastern corner of Spain, and transplanted across the Mediterranean by the medieval Kingdom of Aragón, which had territories all across the Mediterranean.
These ancient clones of Garnacha have a very long vegetative cycle, and as a result, are very late ripening. D.O. Calatayud has a very unique, extreme terroir that is ideal for late ripening Garnacha. The combination of extreme altitudes, ancient soils, and drastic climate combine to create a completely unique mesoclimate. Due to the altitude of our mountain vineyards, temperature swings of 45º F between day and night are common. Oftentimes fluctuating between 40º F and 85º F in the summer, the heat allows the grapes to achieve full ripeness, and the cool nights build high acidity in the grapes. These conditions produce exceptionally balanced wines.
Jorge Ordóñez pioneered the introduction of Garnacha into the United States in the 1990s, when Garnacha was the most widely planted grape in Spain. At the time, however, all of the Spanish red wines available in the American market were Tempranillo dominant. Jorge recognized the quality of the old vine plantings of Garnacha and the wines they produced, and exposed the United States to these sensational wines. | <urn:uuid:0c05db72-0398-42dc-bdd1-e8d375c98022> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://prestigeledroit.com/portfolio/bodegas-breca/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.943316 | 331 | 1.75 | 2 |
The spacing scale is a base-8 scale. We chose a base-8 scale because eight is a highly composable number (it can be divided and multiplied many times and result in whole numbers), yet allows spacing dense enough for GitHub's UI. The scale's exception is that it begins at 4px to allow smaller padding and margin for denser parts of the site, from there on it steps up consistently in equal values of 8px.
These variables are encouraged to be used within components and custom CSS. The spacing scale is also used for margin and padding utilities.
Extended spacing scale
These are primarily useful for achieving bigger vertical spacing between sections. This scale first steps up with 8px for spacer 7, then steps in increments of 16px from spacer 8 up to 12.
The extended spacing scale is used for margin and padding utilities along the Y-axis, as well as for single side spacing utilities (top, right, bottom, left).
Ems are used for spacing within components such as buttons and form elements. We stick to common fractions for em values (and powers of 2 where possible) so that , in combination with typography and line-height, the total height lands on sensible numbers.
We aim for whole numbers, however, GitHub's body font-size is 14px which is difficult to work with, so we sometimes can't achieve a whole number. Less desirable values are highlighted in red below.
Y Padding (em)
Total height at 14px
Total height at 16px
The variables listed above are preferred for use within components and custom CSS. To calculate values with other font-sizes or em values, we suggest using Formula. | <urn:uuid:3b0830ab-f266-4655-9e48-ca86438bbc41> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://primer.style/css/support/spacing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.805245 | 630 | 2.3125 | 2 |
Many Ghanaians are trying to connect the dots on why such a huge sum is to be spent on the construction of a church while many youth in the country are bemoaning unemployment.
Initial cost of the 5000-seater auditorium Cathedral project was estimated to be 100million dollars which later rose to 200millon dollars following adjustments made.
Twene Jonas, known for his outspoken nature has dived into the pool of criticisms questioning why a church is prioritised over other things he deems are more beneficial.
Noted for harsh criticisms, Jonas has recently descended heavily on the Chief Imam for adding his contributions to the Cathedral Funds.
Even though he was wrong for using unprintable words on the National Chief Imam – who he alleged was given the money by top officials to deceive the public – he has a point with his outrage.
There is no doubt the Cathedral will add income from projected tourist attractions and also create temporary jobs for some few construction companies, but building a cathedral in a covid hit economy is a priority misplaced.
Prices of goods keep skyrocketing in a country where inflation runs faster than Usain Bolt and there are many projects the nation can undertake to mitigate unemployment issues with that amount.
A fraction of the money can well be spent on manufacturing chlorine, a chemical used in various industries from just seawater. Its by-products, soda and hydrogen are also very well demanded and have great income potential.
How about supporting 1000 graduates each year with that money to build on the successful projects they undertook in school to create employment for both the skilled and the unskilled?
Additionally, we could also get magnesium using seawater as a raw material and we could all attest to the fact that, magnesium is a key element demanded by many industries as well.
There are countless beneficial companies which the amount to be used for construction can fund to help reduce unemployment in the country.
Corruption, the most lucrative venture of this century has existed throughout ages regardless of the fact that churches have also existed for millennia.
Should our focus be on a church built by God, which is our body, or the one built by man with construction materials known as church?
We don’t need the church to tell good from bad. That is ingrained in us from birth and though the basis of the construction is not yet clearly spelt out, it will not be the one to end corruption and the many evil things that we do. | <urn:uuid:d825faa6-3c7c-420b-b8b5-88299db93a71> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ghnewsfile.com/2021/09/02/insults-aside-jonas-is-right-with-criticism-of-the-national-cathedral/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.976223 | 496 | 1.890625 | 2 |

Whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, your baby needs time to settle into her own rhythm of eating. Flexibility will be key to your feeding success for the first few months, but there are a few things you can do to coax your baby into a feeding schedule.
Newborns need to eat every two hours or so, and feeding on demand is most appropriate during the first month of life. Some newborns take longer to eat, while others feed for shorter periods of time more frequently.
As your baby gets older, she will naturally eat more efficiently and be able to take in larger amounts at one time. Usually around 4 weeks of age, your baby can comfortably space her feedings to every three hours. You can encourage her by making sure that she's full at the end of each feeding, by burping her well, and by not letting her fall asleep in the middle of a feeding.
Do your best to time feedings consistently. For example, don't schedule a trip to the grocery store at a usual feeding time.
Providing a consistent atmosphere also helps your baby learn it's feeding time. You could try sitting in the same place, singing a special song, or dimming the lights to establish a comfortable setting.
Keep in mind that even once your baby starts to develop a schedule, it's still important to follow her hunger cues rather than make her stay on a set schedule. Babies may need to feed longer or more frequently when they're going through growth spurts, for example. | <urn:uuid:65115970-3f95-4b5b-8dd6-2075531f1036> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gm.hillarykids.com/6593-how-do-i-get-my-baby-on-a-feeding-schedule.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965498 | 330 | 2.734375 | 3 |
Processing COVID-19 test samples
Taiwanese company TCI Gene wanted an automated system that could rapidly and accurately test up to 1,800 COVID-19 samples a day, overcoming the shortage of trained staff and taking the strain off operators. Such an automated system would also greatly reduce the risk of staff coming into contact with the virus.
ABB small industrial robots operating as part of a fully enclosed modular testing solution scan specimen containers to capture identity data, add reagents and transport specimens between stations, ensuring rapid, accurate testing, while protecting staff.
Two ABB robots used in an automated COVID test system are helping a Taiwan based company test 96 virus samples in 60 minutes with an accuracy of 99.99%.
Developed by Taiwanese company TCI Gene, the QVS-96S is a fully integrated COVID detection system that uses robot arms to ensure that samples are correctly identified and tested to give the most accurate results.
Based on a machine designed for gene testing, the QVS-96S is a fully automatic, enclosed device to ensure samples remain uncontaminated throughout the testing process.
The QVS-96S consists of three stations, nucleic acid extraction, dispensing and analysis, with the first two stations using ABB IRB 1200 compact industrial robots.
Nucleic acid extraction begins with a technician loading the specimens to be tested. The IRB 1200 picks up the specimens and presents them to the barcode scanner to capture the data and ensure the measured results match with each specimen. A custom-built machine then uncaps the specimens and extracts samples of ribo-nucleic acid (RNA) samples. Following this procedure, the IRB 1200 again picks up the specimens and places them in the second station.
At the second station, the other IRB 1200 is equipped with a specially designed gripper, which can dispense reagents to eight specimens at a time at the correct angle to avoid contamination of other samples.
After adding the reagents, the robot picks and places the specimens into a centrifuge, which ensures that no reagent residue is left, and that each specimen undergoes a perfect reaction. When this stage is complete, the robot picks and places specimens from the centrifuge to a conveyor to transport them to the third station.
The flexible IRB 1200 can be mounted at any angle and comes with IP 40 protection as standard, with other protection standards available as options. The two robots used in the QVS-96S were supplied with the enhanced Clean Room option. of the food handling area. With its easy to clean smooth surface, this option eliminates the potential for contamination either of the robot or the samples.
Faster, safer sample processing
Using the automated solution allows testing to proceed 24/7. The test results of 96 specimens can now be obtained in 60 minutes, a total of 1,800 a day, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and allowing a prompt response to the pandemic.
Aside from the greatly accelerated rate of sample processing, a major benefit of the automated system is its potential to eliminate physical strain on laboratory staff. The repetitive nature of the tasks involved in preparing the samples poses an increased risk of injury, with staff needing to perform each stage repeatedly for several hours a day.
Automating the tasks also cuts the risk of errors arising from fatigue, which could potentially compromise the validity of the sample testing.
Dr Arvin Chen, AI-STEM Chief Supervisor for TCI Gene, says: “The robotic system replaces the manual operations which have previously been conducted by well-trained technicians. With skilled lab technicians in short supply, automating the process allows available staff to be re-deployed to apply their skills to handling other tasks, improving their productivity.”
The cell is a modular design which means it can be adapted for testing other viruses such as flu. Its design ensures that the samples are fully contained, with staff fully protected against exposure to potential contaminants.
“While pandemics don’t happen often, this year has really highlighted the value of being able to respond quickly when they do,” Matt Tsai, Vice President of Robotics and Discrete Automation Business Taiwan. “The application for TCI Gene is just one of a number of projects where ABB robots have been used to help tackle the COVID-19 virus, demonstrating how robotic automation can offer a fast, flexible and highly effective solution for the healthcare sector.” | <urn:uuid:0b0e5dfa-6702-4f77-94a8-54e69c824a72> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://new.abb.com/news/detail/75687/cstmr-abb-robots-aid-rapid-automated-testing-for-covid-19-virus | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.930239 | 922 | 2.625 | 3 |

The year is 1873, and a buffalo hunter named Samson travels the Kansas plains. The year is 1975, and an adolescent girl named Bea walks those very same plains. The year is 2024 and, after a series of devastating storms, an engineer named Paul has left behind his suburban existence to build a floating city above the drowned streets that were once New Orleans. The year is 2073, and Moon has heard only stories of the blue planet-Earth, as they once called it, now succumbed entirely to water.
an epic in the vein of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas or Namwali Serpell’s The Old Drift, whose frameworks allow their authors to flex their skills with both historical and speculative fiction ... A weird, ambitious novel ... Swan’s staccato sentences can be evocative ... Swan’s prose wonderfully portrays things they cannot comprehend but whose meanings are nonetheless plain to the reader. This rich, endlessly engaging novel is, one hopes, the first in a long career for an author who has the talent and imagination to write whatever she wants.
Compelling, sometimes perplexing ... Walk the Vanished Earth is a book that I read easily, steadily, from beginning to end. Swan is particularly good at small, unassuming turns of phrase that employ the familiar fixed cadence and sense of economy that characterizes most of American creative nonfiction ... A contemporary exploration of cultural historiography that is usually downplayed in mainstream science fiction that prioritizes people and survival. It shines best when Swan is on the edge of introducing us to something new ... The result is at times an uneven read, mostly in the earlier chapters, that are eventually eclipsed by Swan’s crisp prose, bold scope, and earnest vision for an uncertain new world.
Even through the lens of one family line, Swan’s novel is an ambitious undertaking—the end of our world and the creation of a new one—and it felt, at times, like Swan had to rush to fit it in under four hundred pages. The frequent time jumps were often jarring: as soon as I found my bearings in one chapter, we were jolted into the next, with new people to care about and new rules to follow ... And yet, Swan creates characters so fully lived in, with such detail and heart, that I would have read more if given the chance. As it is, I read the entire book in three days, gripped by the story. | <urn:uuid:3d9cf064-bfef-4768-82b3-86e545be03a6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bookmarks.reviews/reviews/walk-the-vanished-earth/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965283 | 501 | 1.59375 | 2 |

India, on 15th June 2022, successfully test-fired the country’s indigenously developed Prithvi-II nuclear-capable missile. It was tested at night under a user training trial from the coast of Odisha.
How was the testing of the missile carried out?
Prithvi-II is a type of surface-to-surface missile. It can strike at targets with high accuracy. The test launch of this missile has proven its capability. This missile can hit targets at a range of 350 kilometers. A mobile launcher was used to launch this missile at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) located in Odisha’s Chandipur. The missile has also been tested earlier on 21st February 2018 and on 20th November 2019 from the same site. The Strategic Force Command (SFC) carried out the test launch of this missile. Scientists from DRDO monitored the launch.
What dare the technical features of this missile?
The missile can carry warheads of 500 to 1000 kilograms. A liquid propulsion system comprising twin engines powers this missile. To hit a target accurately, the missile utilizes a guidance system that is inertial as well as a trajectory that can be manoeuvred. The Prithvi missile has a height of 9-meter. It is a single-stage missile. In 2003, this missile was inducted into the country’s armed forces. This missile was created by the DRDO under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).
What is the IGMDP?
It is one of India’s ex-president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s works. This programme was initiated with the aim of making the Indian armed forces self-reliant in the sector of missile technology. Missiles like Akash, Agni, Trishul, and Nag have been developed under IGMDP. | <urn:uuid:0410de9c-6065-4489-96ac-092deaac0d30> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://iaspoint.com/test-fire-of-prithvi-ii-missile-key-facts/?amp=1 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.963953 | 384 | 3.171875 | 3 |
What is a 401(k) Plan?
What is a 401(k) plan? In short, it is a savings plan put forth by an employer. Before deciding to use a 401(k) plan, make sure you do some research and talk to your financial adviser to make sure it is the right option for you.
Facts About 401(k) Plans
401(k) plans are not free. Typically, fees could swallow as much as 30% of a 401(k) by the time retirement is reached. Due to recent changes in regulations covering fee disclosures, employers receive details on the fees associated with running their 401(k) plan, and you can get those details from your company’s benefits manager.
There are many online option tools for 401(k) plans. It is advised to take your time going through the steps with the results being a complete professionally designed portfolio for you based on the style of investing you are comfortable with.
You Can Withdraw Earlier Than You Think
If you decide to leave your employer between the ages of 55 to 59, you will not be assessed for the 10% penalty tax. This is a neat little stipulation that permits you to take withdrawals that are free from the penalty tax without having to use the substantially equal payment provision. There is a caveat though. You cannot have rolled your fund from a 401(k) to an IRA. If you do, the age 55 penalty-free withdrawal provision no longer applies.
401(k) Plans Are Protected From Creditors
By law, if you get into trouble financially (if your house is foreclosed on or you declare bankruptcy) your creditors cannot go after your 401(k) investment fund. Therefore, it is not a wise decision to use your 401(k) for anything other than what it is meant for: a retirement fund.
Becoming Fully Vested Usually Takes Time
You do not get to keep contributions made by your employer until you are fully vested in the company’s retirement plan. Only about 45% of plans allow participants to become fully vested right away while many employers only allow employees to keep any of the matching funds after they have been with the company for a specified number of years.
When You Can Start Using the Fund’s Money Tax-Free
Once you turn 70, you are required to take distributions from your 401(k) annually. The first withdrawal must be made by the beginning of April the year after you turn 70. Withdrawals after that need to be taken by the end of December of each subsequent year. If you fail to take the correct amount, you will incur a tax penalty on the amount you should have taken. There is an allowance for people who are still working after 70. Check with your financial adviser to see what those rules are.
Read Your Plan Carefully

Shape Tracing Worksheets
Shape tracing is a simple activity usually suitable for kindergarteners. It is an excellent exercise to help youngsters learn shapes and build basic math skills. Children at an early age need to develop fine writing skills and will definitely find these worksheets fun as they trace shapes with crayons, markers, pens, or pencils.
Shape tracing worksheets are used in the classroom or at home and can be easily integrated into any curriculum.
Why the Use of Shape Tracing Worksheets Is Beneficial
a) They Help Your Child Identify Shapes
When your child starts recognizing shapes, they can understand the world around them better. For example, if your child can recognize triangles, squares, and circles from their favorite book or movie, they will better understand the storyline. The same goes for colors, numbers, and letters.
b) They Build a Child’s Self-Confidence
From the start, tracing shapes worksheets help instill a sense of independence in children, which is necessary for the proper development of the child’s self-esteem. Tracing worksheets are fun and allow kids to experience a sense of achievement when they see the results of their work.
c) They Improve Hand-eye Coordination
Children’s ability to use a pencil correctly is vital to developing their writing skills. Usually, children have difficulty developing fine handwriting and often do not feel confident. That is where a shape tracing worksheet may play an essential role.

Building a correct pen grip is essential for a child to begin writing. Pencil grasp develops over years, and it is one small step at a time that will lead to your child’s good handwriting. Fun activities such as tracing, coloring, or drawing will teach your preschooler basic skills they need.
