Eiffel Tower Facts for Kids
Teach your kids about France’s most famous landmark with this list of Eiffel Tower facts for kids, including a free PDF that you can print out.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris is one of the most well-known landmarks in the world. Although it was criticised at the time by architects, nowadays it is seen as a cultural symbol of France. To teach your kids about this famous tower, we’ve rounded up 10 of the most interesting facts about it. We’ve even put them into a printable PDF that you can stick on your wall. Parfait!
10 Facts About the Eiffel Tower
1. It is located in Paris – the capital of France
The Eiffel Tower is still the tallest structure in Paris.
2. It is named after Gustave Eiffel, who designed the tower
He also helped to design the Statue of Liberty in New York.
3. It took just over 2 years to build
Construction started in January 1887 and finished in March 1889. However, it took another two months to install lifts to the top of the tower, meaning the first 30,000 visitors climbed to the top by foot!
4. The tower is 324m / 1,063ft tall
You will need to climb 1,665 steps to reach the top of the Eiffel Tower!
5. Around 7 million people visit the Eiffel Tower every year
That’s a lot of people! It is the most-visited paid monument in the world.
6. It was almost built in Barcelona instead of Paris
Yes! There is a rumour which says that Eiffel wanted to build his tower in Barcelona for the World’s Fair in 1888, but the city rejected his plans. Oops!
7. There are replicas of the Eiffel Tower in cities all over the world
The design of the Eiffel Tower proved so popular that similar towers were built in Blackpool, Tokyo and Las Vegas.
8. The tower is repainted every seven years
This is to stop it from rusting.
9. There used to be a secret apartment at the top of the tower
That’s right! Gustave Eiffel decided to build himself an apartment on the very top floor of the tower. It finally opened for public viewing in 2015.
10. It is nicknamed ‘The Iron Lady’
That’s probably because the tower is made from 7,300 tonnes of iron.

Learning From Observational Data To Improve Protected Area Management
Period: January 2016-January 2019
Law enforcement is an essential part of Protected Area (PA) management. Over the past decade, the effectiveness of law enforcement has been enhanced by the development of tools such as MIST and SMART, which enable rangers to record important information such as patrol routes, observations and incidences of illegal behaviour. These data can be analysed by PA managers to monitor enforcement effort, inform future patrolling strategies, and motivate rangers.

Photo credit: Harriet Ibbett[/caption] Whilst observations made by rangers provide important spatial information for PA managers, their overall utility for monitoring, strategic planning and evaluation is limited by inherent bias in the data collection process. Recording of illegal activities is influenced by a multitude of ecological and social factors, and unlike ecological studies which only aim to observe behaviour, the fundamental purpose of patrols is to change the behaviour of offenders. These conditions make the analysis of ranger-generated data extremely complex.
As yet there is neither a clear strategy for how informative analysis can be achieved, nor practical tools to implement them. If this gap is not adequately filled, conclusions drawn from SMART patrol data may be biased and seriously misleading, with significant implications for biodiversity.
Regardless of whether SMART is used, patrol teams need to be deployed strategically, which requires reliable information on poacher identities, poacher behaviour, and interventions that might change poacher behaviour. Another necessity is the need to validate patrol findings against expectations, and to respond adaptively to change. Differences between patrol observations and prior expectations need to be understood, and biases or inaccuracies separated out from genuine changes in poacher behaviour.
This project aims to address some of these challenges and provide greater understanding of the utility of observational datasets for protected area management.
Summary of planned activities
The project has a two components:
- Field based data collection - Quantitative and qualitative approaches will be used to understand how both patrol teams and poachers behave and why.
- Statistical and mechanistic modelling - Agent-Based Modelling will be used to simulate interactions between poachers and patrols under different scenarios and Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling will be used to interpret datasets to produce robust estimates of the prevalence of illegal activities, and to identify the factors associated with higher or lower levels of these activities.
Field work will take place in Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, a unique mountainous forest complex comprising of deciduous, dipterocarp and lush evergreen forests. KSWS is located in the eastern plains of Cambodia and sits on the border of Vietnam. We will focus our field work to assess the interactions between hunters and law enforcement agencies, with a specific focus on understanding:
- Who hunts, where do people hunt and why do people hunt?
- What factors motivate and affect the effectiveness of law enforcement teams?
- How effective are patrol teams at detecting snares?
Our aim in this project is to support the developers and users of ranger-generated observational datasets, so that they can get more from this increasingly important information source. To this end, we aim to interact with end-users from the beginning of the project, and throughout, both at KSWS and internationally. This will help us to understand how we can contribute most usefully to their ongoing work.

This project is solving the ArduSat challenge.
The Atlanta ArduSat team launched an "internet of things" framework for experimenters, where an autonomous template kit can be deployed rapidly to Arduino and Raspberry Pi in an Ardusat, to obtain sensor data through a webservice.
Choosing to deploy or build on this project would let beginners and advanced experiments easily access the ArduSat sensor data from their browser, apps or integrated systems, for a variety of sensors bundled into the template.
To account for space communication disturbances, all data can also be locally stored via an SD card and retransmitted later. The meaningful processing of the samples can then be as complex as necessary in their webapp or mobile app, without modifying the satellite.
Our project uses an Arduino UNO outfitted with an SD card reader and the following sensors:
- Digital Temperature Sensor (TMP 102)
- Inertial Unit: Gyroscope/ Accelerometer (ADXL345/ITG-3200)
- Digital Luminosity Light Sensor (TSL2561)
- Magnetometer (MAG3110)
- Infrared Thermometer (MLX90614)

You may be familiar with the idea of “Art Therapy”; a process where people from all ages might find healing and comfort from experienced trauma or loss. Creativity and artistic expression are connected. However, they are not necessarily one in the same. Creativity can be expressed in many ways that do not result in artistic accomplishments.
You may also be familiar with the concept of Trauma-Informed Practice. Historically, when someone has experienced trauma, there has been a great deal of focus on talking through the story, quite often in the presence of a professional counselor.
People may join support groups where they feel connected to others who have also experienced trauma. Some of us simply find friends and others who are willing to listen to us as we re-live our pain and try to make sense of the suffering.
Many people find relief and healing through this process. However, it is not necessarily the only way to navigate trauma in our lives. Healing can happen on a number of levels and through a variety of practices and approaches.
What is Trauma?
To back up a little bit, what do we mean by trauma? This is often a very personally interpreted experience. It might not be so much about the actual nature of the events as it is about the impact the experience has on the individual.
According to Judith Herman, in her book Trauma and Recovery, “Traumatic events overwhelm the ordinary systems of care that give people a sense of control, connection, and meaning. Traumatic events are extraordinary, not because they occur rarely, but because they overwhelm the ordinary human adaptations to life. They confront human beings with the extremities of helplessness and terror and evoke the responses of catastrophe.”
The American Psychological defines trauma as, “an incident of grave threat to life or one’s personal integrity, or unexpected, or violent death of others.”
Impact of Trauma
As what constitutes trauma can be very different for each of us, how we experience it is equally personal.
Traumatic experiences can have impact for long periods of time if there has been no opportunity to find relief through some form of expression. People can experience PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), which can lead to a multitude of other challenges including mental health and addiction struggles.
This is true for all of us. This is true for the people we provide service to who have experienced trauma and it is true for us as helping professionals who have also experienced our own personal traumas and have been exposed to the trauma of others.
Without strategies to manage trauma, we can become sick, disillusioned, depressed, and disconnected ~ not only from others, but also more importantly from ourselves.
Trauma Informed Practice
It seems that the most powerful thing we can do as helping professionals when providing service to people who have experienced trauma is to acknowledge the experience for that person. So again, it is not just about what we say or what we do, but rather how we approach the individual in their current situation.
To me, this is evidence of presence and engagement that results in honoring another.
“Utilizing a trauma-informed approach does not necessarily require disclosure of trauma. Rather, services are provided in ways that recognize the need for physical and emotional safety, as well as choice and control in decisions affecting one’s treatment. Trauma-informed practice is more about the overall essence of the approach, or way of being in the relationship, than a specific treatment strategy or method.” (Trauma Informed Practice Guide, 2013, BC Provincial Mental Health and Substance Abuse Council).
We can also learn to take this same approach with ourselves. How do we simply acknowledge that we have experienced some form of trauma in our lives and recognize our personal need for safety and choice? I believe as we grow in our capacity to create this space for our own experience, we will naturally bring that energy and essence into our interactions with others.
Our first panel discussion on Serving Consciously occurred Friday February 24 at 12pm PST at www.ctrnetwork.com. The entire show was all about Trauma and Healing through alternative practices. My guests explored ideas related to artistic expression and the role in trauma-informed practice and share their research experiences.
Panel Guests included:
An Educator and Artist for over 25 years, Orah Chaye has instructed ECE, implemented appreciative inquiry curriculum in numerous settings, been Field Supervisor for Early Years Refugee Home Visitation, and has designed site specific curriculum and In-Service Training. Orah is the Provincial trainer for the BC Council’s Home Visiting and Risk Management certificates. From a strength-based perspective, trauma informed practice and the creative process is embedded in all of her curriculum. She has recently completed an Educator’s Toolkit for Physical Literacy and Nature Exploration (PLANE) and is well known for her unique and creative programming with young children.”
Dr. Amea Wilburcompleted her Doctorate of Education at the University of British Columbia. Her research looked at how to make government-funded English classes more inclusive for adult students who have experienced trauma. She worked for many years as an instructor and manager for an EAL program for people with mental health issues. Currently she works at Pacific Immigrant Resources Society, an organization that provides services for immigrant and refugee women and their young children.
Diana Jeffries has been in the English as an Additional Language (EAL) profession for the past 15 years. In addition to teaching Diana has written resource guides for working with students who face a multitude of barriers, refugee youth and for students who have experienced trauma where she collaborated with Dr. Amea Wilbur. Diana is also an artist with a background in theatre and applied art including mask making and puppetry. She regularly applies her art background to her classroom practice, as she believes that the creative process can be a very helpful tool for students who are challenged in a regular classroom environment.

The primary meaning of the American-English noun honky-tonk is: a disreputable entertainment venue.
I think that this word is imitative of the sound of the music heard in such venues; in my opinion, honky-tonk is simply a reduplication based on honk. An onomatopoeic noun, honk denotes:
– the characteristic harsh sound made by a wild goose (sense attested in 1813),
and, by extension:
– any similar loud, harsh sound (sense attested in 1869).
This seems to be supported by the fact that the sentence “the honk-tonk of the goose sounds from high” appeared in the Ellsworth Reporter (Ellsworth, Kansas) of Thursday 4th April 1901. The reduplication honk-tonk was also used in An Old Horse’s Holiday, published in The New York Times (New York City, N.Y.) of Sunday 30th July 1905:
He wandered over to Eighth Avenue, where there is asphalt for the automobilists and no grass for the out-of-date horse. The honk-tonks did not frighten him.
The following presents chronologically the earliest occurrences that I have found of honky-tonk and variants up to the end of 1893.
1-: AUGUST 1887 TO JANUARY 1893
A TEXAN WORD
All the earliest instances of the word that I have found indicate that it originated in Texas.
1.1-: AUGUST 1887
A HORSE’S NAME
The term appears—and this probably has nothing to do with its later use—as part of the name given to a particular horse in an article about a “splendid equine showing” at Dallas, published in The Dallas Morning News (Dallas, Texas) of Sunday 14th August 1887:
W. T. Campbell’s stable is composed of the following stock: […] Gen. Honk-a-Tonk, b. g., breeding not known.
1.2-: JANUARY 1889 TO AUGUST 1890
A DALLAS THEATRICAL NAME
In the following from the Dallas news section of the Fort Worth Daily Gazette (Fort Worth, Texas) of Thursday 24th January 1889, the word seems to be the name of a particular theatre:
A petition to the council is being circulated for signatures, asking that the Honky Tonk theater on Main street be reopened.
The term is defined as denoting a “variety show” in a news story published in The Dallas Morning News (Dallas, Texas) of Wednesday 6th August 1890; “a large, black and typical southern darky with short sideburns who answered to the name of Brown” has been locked up in the calaboose after being wrongfully charged with “interfering with private property by entering the room of George Lewis”; Brown declares this to a Dallas Morning News reporter:
“[…] I came over to Dallas yesterday hunting work. […] When 6 o’clock came I went down to George Lewis’ house. […]. He lives down on the west side of south Jefferson street near the crossing of the Oak Cliff and the Santa Fe roads. […] Myself and him set and talked awhile and he got up and said he wanted to go to the honk-a-tonk (variety show).”
1.3-: MAY 1892 TO JANUARY 1893
THE NAME OF A DISTRICT/OF A SALOON OF JEFFERSON
In The Marshall Messenger (Marshall, Texas) of Friday 27th May 1892, the word is the name of a disreputable district of Jefferson, Texas:
Jefferson, Tex., May 22.—[…]
Saturday night in the most disreputable part of town, the famous Honk-E-Tonk district, a negro attempted to rob an unknown white man, who cut out both of the negro’s eyes. The negro is named Ben McNell.
The white man struck only one lick with his knife, but it was across from right to left, and cut open both eyes of his would be robber.
However, in The Dallas Morning News (Dallas, Texas) of Tuesday 10th January 1893, the word seems to be the name of a particular saloon of Jefferson:
Jefferson, Tex., July 9.—On Saturday night Annie Jones and Sue Williams, both colored and from Marshall, had a quarrel at the Honka Tonk saloon, which resulted in the latter’s throat being cut and the former arrested.
In the previous paragraph from The Dallas Morning News, “July 9” is a misprint for “January 9”, since the same incident was reported as follows in The Marshall Messenger (Marshall, Texas) of Friday 13th January 1893:
A WOMAN’S THROAT CUT
At the Famous Honk-e-Tonk […].
Jefferson, Tex., Jan. 9.—[…]
Saturday night in the famous honk-e-tonk one woman drove a knife into another woman’s throat, inflicting a dangerous wound. Dr. Foster sewed up the cut. The injury party came here from Marshall. Names are not procurable.
2-: FEBRUARY 1893
NEW YORK CITY PROSTITUTION DISTRICT
In the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (St. Louis, Missouri) of Sunday 5th February 1893, the word seems to be the name of the prostitution district of New York City:
A PARKHURST * AGENT.
Blackmailing New York’s Army of the Honk-a-Tonk in a New Way.
New York, Feb. 4.—Robert Keighton, aged 19, tried a new scheme for soliciting, or rather demanding, alms last night, which lodged him in jail for three months this morning. He went out on the streets and stopped a number of women. He told them that they were under arrest, but that for $1 he would give them their liberty. “I am,” he said, “an agent of Dr. Parkhurst’s *. There have just been 1,800 special officers appointed by him to patrol the streets and arrest all women who are out after dark. This is my beat, and I am going to pull you. Give me $1 and you can go.”
(* Charles Henry Parkhurst (1842-1933) was an American clergyman and social reformer who attacked the political corruption of New York City government.)
3-: APRIL TO SEPTEMBER 1893
ANY DISREPUTABLE ENTERTAINMENT VENUE
In The Austin Daily Statesman (Austin, Texas) of Monday 10th April 1893, the word denotes a theatrical and gambling establishment frequented by Afro-Americans:
Brenham, Tex., April 9.—[…]
Lida Smith and Anna Chappell had a fight with knives in the Honk-a-tonk, a negro variety hall and gambling dive, at 12 o’clock last night. The Chappell woman was badly cut on the head and Lida Smith was slashed across the arm. Lida Smith is in jail awaiting a preliminary hearing.
According to The Iola Register (Iola, Kansas) of Friday 23rd June 1893, the word came to be applied to any new low-class theatre in Oklahoma:
When a particularly vicious and low grade theater opens up in an Oklahoma town they call it a “honky-tonk.” The name didn’t “come from” anything; it just growed.
However, in the following is from The Galveston Daily News (Galveston, Texas) of Wednesday 6th September 1893, the nature of the premises that the word designates is not specified:
Houston, Tex., Sept. 6.—The case against Special Officer Martin, charged with the murder of Henry Dixon, colored, was called before Justice Mahoney this afternoon in the criminal courtroom. […]
John Felgel testified that Dixon was running and Martin after him when the shooting occurred, and the second time he shot Dixon was falling. It was on the bridge, near the honk-a-tonk. […]
Andrew Harris testified that he was in the second story of the honk-a-tonk and saw the shooting.
(On Friday 15th December 1893, the jury found Martin not guilty on the charge of murder.) | <urn:uuid:cd0ee511-d4f9-4f5c-bafa-c65b8751cc8c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wordhistories.net/2019/02/06/honky-tonk-origin/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.950415 | 1,804 | 3.078125 | 3 |

A woman pushing a pram was "narrowly missed" by a train as she tried to cross the track.
She had walked to the end of the platform and down the ramp which leads to track at Hilsea station in Hampshire, Network Rail said.
The woman was photographed by the onboard camera of a South Western Railway service on 29 August.
The rail operator described her actions as "deeply concerning" and warned passengers not to cross tracks.
It said passengers should not get close to the rail or attempt to cross the track "as it might save a few seconds but it could cost you your life, as the third rail carries 750 volts of electricity and trains pass through at speed".
Mark Killick, Network Rail Wessex route director, said: "The behaviour at Hilsea station is deeply concerning and shows that people are completely oblivious to the dangers they are putting themselves in.
"This incident could have easily ended in tragedy, and the lives of the woman's family and that of the train driver could have changed forever." | <urn:uuid:4a5f866c-8a85-4915-949d-4cbb12dc1e62> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-54092024 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.984968 | 218 | 1.523438 | 2 |
The Canmore Cave Tours team are thrilled to share an exciting new project with you. As of April 2019, in partnership with the Alberta Speleological Society, we have embarked upon the resurvey of Rat’s Nest Cave; a project that we hope will shed new light on a fascinating and important part of Alberta’s history. As one of the longest caves in Canada it still has potential for significant new exploration and research contributions in the realms of geology, biology, anthropology, ecology, and more. Resurveying the cave is the first step in what we hope will be a long journey of new discovery and we invite you to join us for that journey!
Tim and Whitney have been adventuring together since their first date. Living in the mountains benefits a lifestyle centred around hiking, kayaking, and most recently, caving. Pushing boundaries, facing fears, and finding patience are all a part of their journey through both life and the cave. Keep reading to see how the adventure-lovers fared. | <urn:uuid:39712b98-a51e-4389-b21a-a04d735a3532> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.canmorecavetours.com/light-reading | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.941992 | 209 | 1.773438 | 2 |
In Joomla, scripts are added to the
<head> tag on a page.
<html> <head> <title>Title</title> <script src="script.js"></script> </head> <body> ... </body> </html>
When the browser's HTML parser finds the
<script> tag, it downloads the script and executes it. After the task is done, it goes on and parses the remaining HTML.
There are many ways scripts are added in the
<head> of a document in Joomla.
- Some templates can manually add the scripts in the index.php file,
- Some extensions can also add scripts manually via the
<script>tag (a bad way to add scripts on a page),
- Scripts can be added directly via the API such as
JFactory::getDocument()->addScript()or the HTMLHelper class,
- Scripts are added via web assets in Joomla 4 (but all methods can co-exist, and jQuery Easy needs to take all of them into account).
Delay is introduced and it can have a negative impact on the perception users have of the visited page.
One solution widely used has been to add the scripts before the end of the <body> tag. It forces the scripts to get fetched and executed once the whole page has been parsed (in Joomla, you need an additional extension to do that).
<html> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> ... <script src="script.js"></script> </body> </html>
Modern browsers have other ways to delay the execution of scripts with two attributes: defer and async.
<html> <head> <title>Title</title> <script defer src="script.js"></script> </head> <body> ... </body> </html>
if you specify both attributes, async takes precedence on modern browsers, while older browsers that support defer but not async will fallback to defer.
How loading times are spent
In the following graphs, you will find:
- the HTML being parsed
- the HTML being paused
- a script being downloaded
- a script being executed
When defined without any specific attribute, the script is downloaded/fetched as soon as it is 'hit' during HTML parsing. It is then executed before parsing is resumed.
The script file is fetched during HTML parsing. Parsing is paused while the script file is executed. Async scripts are executed as soon as they finish downloading.
The order of execution is not guaranteed (it depends on the size of the scripts and speed downloads).
The script file is fetched during HTML parsing as well, without pause, and is executed after the HTML has been parsed (right after the domInteractive event, once the DOM has been built).
Scripts are guaranteed to execute in the order they appear in the document (unless IE9 and under are used).
Note: at this point, images have not yet been parsed and loaded.
<script> before </body>
The HTML is fully parsed then scripts are fetched and executed.
This solution will allow the HTML to be parsed in the fastest way possible, but scripts will take longer to execute, compared to the defer method. Depending on what the scripts are supposed to do, the user may perceive the difference.
Using defer in jQuery Easy Profiles
You may now have a better understanding of the way scripts are loaded on a page. But can you defer jQuery and Bootstrap with the help of jQuery Easy Profiles?
The answer is yes (in jQuery Easy Profiles v5.1 and over), but in some cases, you may not be able to (especially under Joomla 3).
For instance, if MooTools is loaded on the page or jQuery script declarations are in the
<head>, you will end up with errors if the jQuery scripts are using defer.
If jQuery can use defer, Bootstrap should as well (unless Bootstrap 5 is loaded, in which case you can do whatever, since it does not rely on jQuery anymore in Joomla 4).
Why only defer in jQuery Easy Profiles?
jQuery Easy ensures scripts are loaded in the proper order. Therefore, it makes sense to use defer over async when loading scripts that have been 'fixed' by the plugin. But you can still add your own scripts and use either method.
Content Delivery Networks for loading scripts
Using CDNs removes any maintenance overhead. But because they are not on the same origin as the rest of your resources, loading files from a public CDN comes with a network cost. The browser needs to perform a DNS lookup, establish a new HTTP connection, and, on secure origins, perform an SSL handshake with the vendor's server.
Whenever you can, use the libraries already available in the Joomla version you are using or download and store those scripts on your own server. It will reduce DNS lookups and you can have more control over caching.
For advanced users, and especially under Joomla 3, you can get an optimal setup by using JCH Optimize in combination with jQuery Easy. Script declarations can be merged with JCH Optimize, and scripts can be excluded from that plugin, allowing jQuery Easy to thoroughly clean and defer those scripts.
jQuery Easy's main purpose is to fix issues that can arise when extensions 'collide' or add scripts that interfere with other ones or the template. jQuery Easy makes fixes 'on-the-fly' without caching the results, therefore there is an additional execution time overhead on the server that is small, but which exists. It can be reduced by using external services like Cloudflare, which cache content. | <urn:uuid:95a42e29-0764-4412-a174-8ccea65a05a5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://simplifyyourweb.com/documentation/tutorials/1670-loading-scripts-and-the-use-of-the-defer-attribute-with-jquery-easy-profiles | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.903501 | 1,207 | 2.109375 | 2 |
This morning, I’m giving a presentation about the West County Community Action Network (WE CAN) to Eliot Women’s Alliance at Eliot Unitarian Chapel. This virtual handout wastes no paper and offers live links to the reports, documents, and organizations that I’ll mention today.
The Community for Understanding and Hope Book Group has a Facebook group. If you want to join our email list (we send out a couple of reminders a month about our next book group meeting), send an email to email@example.com. Our book group specializes in books about race in America and is hosted by the Kirkwood Public Library. We usually meet on the third Thursday of the month from 7pm to 8:45pm.
The West County Community Action Network has a webpage and a Facebook page. You can join the email list by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.org. ASSIST (A Solid, Stay-in-School Team) has a separate email list to advocate for racial equity in schools: email@example.com.
Transforming911 is a website where Forward Through Ferguson asks us to re-imagine public safety.
The Ferguson Commission released its report in late summer 2015. The website provides an interactive approach to the material. Or you can download the print report or check it out of Kirkwood Public Library or St. Louis County Library. There are many calls to action that are still being worked on by various entities in the St. Louis area, around Missouri, and throughout the country. These efforts could always use more engaged people.
Falling Through the Cracks: St. Louis School Discipline at the Intersection of Race, Gender, and Disability includes data about suspensions and shows alarming disparity depending on a student’s race, gender, and level of ability.
For anyone in the St. Louis area, I invite you to talk to me if you want to figure out how to connect with this work in our region. For other Americans, I invite you to find or start your own book groups, action networks, and community organizations to support anti-racism work where you live. | <urn:uuid:f7fdaf6b-4330-40c9-92e7-31ae425fd2be> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.joyweesemoll.com/2022/07/19/eliot-womens-alliance-virtual-handout/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.925398 | 444 | 1.804688 | 2 |

New Yorkers! Rally behind Jennifer Jones Austin!
The Brooklyn-based mother, lawyer and family advocate has been stricken with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and has become the face of a city-wide blood and bone marrow drive in conjunction with New York Blood Center (NYBC) and The City University of New York (CUNY).
After feeling tired, believing it was just a virus, Jennifer was diagnosed. Once she confirmed, unfortunately, that her siblings were not a match for a transplant, she turned to the “Be The Match” blood drive going on now at Borough of Manhattan Community College.
According to statistics, only 10% of the donors registered with the National Marrow Donor Program are African American, and the changes for a match improve greatly when race and ethnic synergies exist. This is a grim stat and calls for African Americans to stand up and be counted in the bone marrow registry! What better way to help your community than this?
We’ve seen this before, as reflected in an article in our e-newsletter, “Multirace matches a problem in bone marrow transplants. ”
Help Jennifer out, won’t you? Here is the article, and the details for registering with “Be The Match.” | <urn:uuid:94476922-9378-4167-acda-f46b72f41550> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mazecordblood.com/2010/02/08/in-bone-marrow-matching-race-plays-a-role/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.947877 | 264 | 1.507813 | 2 |
Posted: November 13th, 2013
1. Be Yourself – Although it sounds cliché, many of the employers at this event remarked on how they enjoy seeing students resemble themselves; not someone else’s idea of who they should be. Being relaxed at social or networking events will help you carry on some great conversations and stories. Storytelling is as old as the Stone Age and as current as Tom Clancy. People are always telling each other stories, whether at the office copier, over late-Friday-afternoon drinks, or around the dinner table. Storytelling can be a powerful tool during a self-marketing opportunity such as campus events, or when interviewing with prospective employers. Although storytelling during job interviews has become something of a lost art from what some employers mentioned, it is still something they seek. Instead of the usual 20 questions or a lengthy recitation of your school and work history, try telling a story about one of your accomplishments or how you decided on a law career. While many job seekers already have attractive resumes, know how to dress for success, and have well-rehearsed answers to tricky interview questions; few are skilled at marketing themselves using accomplishment-storytelling techniques. Be sure to practice these important skills at each networking event you attend!
2. Be confident – Speak confidently when relating your school and career successes. You may not know everything about a particular area of practice, so don’t be afraid to admit it. On the same token, be confident in the way you talk about the things in which you are well-verse, such as your favorite practice area or extracurricular interests. Still unsure of what to talk about at social events? Don’t be afraid to simply ask honest questions to the person with whom you are speaking. They are in front of you as a resource, so take advantage by ask probing questions – questions that can help guide your career path. You never know where you’ll be years from now in your career, so make sure you exhibit your “can do” attitude all throughout your law career path as it will carry you the distance.
3. Sell Yourself – Several employers mentioned how it is very beneficial at networking functions to come prepared with a 30-second elevator speech. Don’t have an elevator speech? Be sure to do your research and create one that describes you and your goals, then rehearse it over and over – out loud! Some great examples of elevator speeches are:
a. “Hello, I’m Tom Smith. I’m pursuing a joint JD/ M.B.A. degree here at Wake Forest. I want to pursue a career in corporate mergers and acquisitions, because I feel that my business background gives me an additional understanding of the needs of corporate clients. I’m originally from the Washington, D.C. area and hope to return there after graduation.”
b. “Hi, my name is Mary Jones. I am currently a second year student attending Wake Forest Law School, focusing on public interest work. This past summer I completed an internship with Human Rights Watch where I researched issues of human trafficking. After that experience, I’m committed to a career with a nonprofit or advocacy group focused on issues affecting women’s rights.”
4. Be Memorable – As employers pointed out, they are looking for memorable experiences when cruising the networking scene or during interviews. They remarked that especially during interviews, they are looking for candidates that will stand out from a crowd. They don’t like hearing the same old “I can help your firm by doing this or by doing that.” They want to see someone who can be a part of their team and get along with the office atmosphere. One particular employer stated that he interviewed 54 candidates and had to quickly narrow the choices down to only 3. The candidates only had 15 minutes to make a lasting impression, which seems like a hard task to complete. However, he was excited to state that the 3 candidates he narrowed it down to were all outgoing, memorable, and reflected a true desire to be on his team.
5. Be Enthusiastic – To piggyback on point #4, being enthusiastic goes along with being memorable. Enthusiasm and a positive attitude are also contagious. One attorney mentioned that he likes to hear all about the student, but then enjoys how the conversation pivots to excited remarks and stories about what the student wants to do with their law career and where they would like to go. This excitement makes a lasting impression on this particular attorney. Try to answer questions in an upbeat way, conveying that you are enthusiastic and pleasant to be around. You don’t have to lay it on thick and go overboard, but your attitude can go a long way in social events and especially during interviews. In an interview, enthusiastic candidates indicate their enjoyment of their work and their interest in the employer by their behavior. Students looking for their first job are enthusiastic about their academic work, their college, their professors and fellow students. | <urn:uuid:697608b6-61df-4b97-84be-af64d7072a8a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://career.law.wfu.edu/2013/11/5-takeaways-from-the-ocpd-speed-networking-101-event/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.971956 | 1,035 | 1.882813 | 2 |
Year 2 Day 29
Read - Acts 14v19-28
Message - Scott Woodburn
Those of you of an Edengrove persuasion will know all about Robert Irvine. He was our minister for a short time in the 1800s before making his way to 1st Presbyterian, Augusta, Georgia. If you visit that church you will find a statue of Irvine outside. There's no statue of him in Ballynahinch but once upon a time, some locals did seek to burn an effigy of Irvine before blowing up the remains with gun powder just outside the Market House. I suspect when its all said and done we would much rather have a statue than to have a mob who seeks to do us harm. Unfortunately, that choice is not ours.
Paul and Barnabas continued to exercise faithful Gospel ministry. Sinners were saved (v21), Christians were encouraged (v22) and the church was established (v23) and yet as chapter 14 closes, we also discover that in Lystra, Paul had been stoned and dragged outside the city and left for dead (v19).
A modern TV preacher might skip that verse. Everyone knows that if we have enough faith then nothing bad will ever happen to us. Right? Wrong. We reject any message that says the Christian life is all about health, wealth and prosperity. Brothers and sisters, as you well know, sometimes the Christian life is incredibly hard.
Christians are washed clean in the blood of the Lamb, but that blood doesn't stop them from getting Covid as some have believed over the past year. Christians hear every single day about a cancer diagnosis. They hear that their job is under threat. They stand in graveyards and weep like everyone else. We have been redeemed but Jesus is clear that in this world we will have trouble.
I don't want a hall named after me, nor do I want a statue. Equally though, I don't want my effigy to be burnt outside the Market House in Ballynahinch. If I tell the truth of my sinful heart, I want a quiet and peaceful life. I'd prefer no boats to be rocked. I want to celebrate my 100th birthday. I want to be fit and well and playing golf in my 80s like those auld lads on TV. I want to keep my teeth and my hair and hopefully I'll die in my own warm bed after retiring from a 40 year ministry in 1st Presbyterian, Augusta, Georgia.
Brothers and sisters, please don't mock me nor pity my foolishness. I'm willing to state that I suspect you would rather have the easy path. Am I right? Perhaps this last wee bit is just for me or perhaps it will speak to many, regardless, hear what a beaten, stoned, left for dead Apostle reminded the church - "Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God." (v22)
The one who has received Christ by faith will not be lost. We will not slip through the Lord's fingers. He will certainly not leave us nor forsake us. We will cross the finish line and we will see glory. Yet also certain is that the road ahead will be beset on all sides with tribulation and heartache.
Hurting and wounded child of God may you know the Lord's help and strength today. I know that this day may not be easy but much more importantly - God knows. The One who has begun the work in you, will certainly bring it to completion at the day of Christ. Hear the Word of your Saviour. "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world." (John 16v33)

We watched the 2009 remake of the Milgram experiment in class. This version is called Modern Milgram Validation and is hard to find in good quality in YouTube, so we watched it together to be on the safe side. The last source information is as follows: (34:36 minutes).
It includes brief footage of the original Stanford Prison experiment but if you want to see a longer 49-minute version of the Stanford Prison Experiment, it is available on
Online Discussion Board #1A Activities
That film portrayed both an abbreviated classic study (Stanford) and a remake of a classic study (Milgram). Evaluate both based on conformity factors highlighted in Chapter 2 of the Aronson text. Which film segment (i.e., classic or remake) was most impactful to you and why? What are the benefits of using classic studies and what are the benefits of using modern remakes?
Online Discussion Board #1B Activities
Select one short (30-60 minutes) Ted Talk, news production, or documentary on any general characteristic of Social Psychology (Chapter 1) or conformity (Chapter 2) that piques your interest and extends the textbook and lecture material. Write a 1-page description of the content and your reflections on what it added to your understanding of that dynamic.
Online Discussion Board #2 Activities
Select five television and/or Internet ads persuading consumers against smoking or using drugs (or another persuasive topic of choice). Based on persuasion factors identified in Chapter 3, which ad includes most of the factors highlighted in Aronson—list them and describe how they are conveyed in the ad. Which of your choices is most persuasive and why? What demographic group is likely to be most persuaded? Which demographic group is least likely to be persuaded? Why might advertisers risk alienation of some audience members rather than presenting a message with universal or near universal appeal?

Will Natarajan Be the First Indian American Mayor of Fremont, Ca?
FREMONT, Calif. – A clipboard in hand, wearing a black blouse, jeans and sneakers and with a pencil tucked behind her ear, mayoral candidate Anu Natarajan spent a recent Sunday precinct walking, like she has been doing for several weeks now, a handful of “Team Anu” volunteers in tow. She was hitting the homes of the still undecided, hoping to persuade them that she’s the best candidate to be Fremont’s next chief executive officer.
“It’s a completely grassroots campaign, and that’s the way I want it to be,” she told a reporter accompanying her.
The mayoral race is crowded, with the three front-runners being Steve Cho, a Republican and Bill Harrison, a Democrat and City Council member, a democrat, and Natarajan, who is currently the city’s vice mayor.
But Natarajan is the only female candidate, and if she wins, she will become the first Indian American mayor Fremont has ever had, as well as the first female Indian American mayor in the United States.
Natarajan is used to being in testosterone-rich political surroundings. When she became a City Council member in 2006, she was the only woman on the five-member council until the next election cycle in 2010, when Chinese American Suzanne Chan came on board.
Earlier this year, Natarajan served a brief stint as Fremont’s interim mayor, after the death of Mayor Bob Wasserman.
Natarajan said she feels just as comfortable embracing her Indian heritage as being American -- she became a naturalized citizen in 2003 -- but she maintained she never plays the Indian card among fellow expatriates to win votes.
“Although I am proud of my Indian roots, I am not defined by my Indian heritage, ” she asserted, noting: “I don’t run my campaign as a woman candidate or an Indian-American candidate.”
The platform she is running on – creating more green and biotech jobs, luring high-end retail shops, developing a pedestrian-friendly downtown – in its 56 years, the city has never had a downtown – and improving its public transportation system by building a third BART station in Warm Springs – seems to resonate with voters. They believe she can tap into her academic training, as well as her professional experience as an architect, public agency planner and an urban planning consultant, and make Fremont a more vibrant city.
“I like the vision she has for our city,” observed Dr. Romesh Japra, chairman of the Federation of Indian American Associations, and chair of the Fremont Hindu temple, who hosted a fund-raiser for Natarajan last month in his home. “She is hard-working and committed to public service.”
“She is a very result-oriented person and definitely ready to take up the city’s leadership,” said Jeevan Zutshi, founder of the Indo-American Community Federation.
The race between her and Harrison is close, and even though the 50-year-old Natarajan is disappointed that her opponent has received the endorsements of unions and the Political Action Committee of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, the backing she has been receiving from other sources has kept her campaign energized. Last week, State Attorney General Kamala Harris endorsed her, recognizing Natarajan’s successes in bringing “more jobs to Fremont, and to keep Fremont’s neighborhoods, schools and parks safe” for its residents. Harris is the state’s first Indian American female to serve as attorney general in the state.
The Bay Area News Group, which includes such media outlets as The Argus, The San Jose Mercury News, The Oakland Tribune and the Fremont Bulletin, is supporting her. Additionally, 16 Bay Area mayors and 38 council members are also backing her.
In the 2010 Census, Fremont with its 218,000-strong population and located in the northernmost part of Silicon Valley, was listed as one of five cities in the Bay Area with the highest Asian population. Yet Asian-American turnout at the polls tends to be among the lowest of any racial and ethnic group in general, and Fremont is no exception.
Of the 34,000 Indian Americans in Fremont, which is only about 1,000 more than the city’s Chinese American population, only 11,000 are registered voters – a situation Natarajan believes is largely because they tend to have “the-one-foot-here-and-one-foot-in-India syndrome.”
Even so, she believes 80 percent of them will vote for her.
One prominent Indian American activist who most likely won’t is veterinarian Dr. Raj Salwan, who hosted a fund-raiser for her opponent, Bill Harrison, even though he says he views Natarajan as “my sister.”
Natarajan has received good marks for her consistently supporting open space, while at the same time exploring ways of leveraging space for the city’s economic development.

The Tamilnadu-born candidate, who was raised in Bangalore, came to the United States 22 years ago on a Rotary scholarship to earn a master’s degree in urban Design and Planning from the University of Washington. Her subsequent professional experience includes working as an architect, public agency planner, and as an urban planning consultant to cities across the Bay Area.
Some time during that period, she met her husband, Sundaram, whose love for cooking, she said, helps keep her campaign in high gear. Their 9-year-old daughter, Pranali, who has been observing her mother’s political activities for years, stood before the gathering at Natarajan’s mayoral campaign kickoff and urged them to help her mother get elected because she would ensure that Fremont becomes “the best city, would tell people to stop smoking and stop wasting food and hold a lot of kids events.”
“I definitely have a third democrat in the house,” observed Natarajan as she watched her daughter with pride. | <urn:uuid:a2b7f1cb-4434-4e89-9d06-97c9d3ce6e1c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.redlakenationnews.com/story/2012/11/05/politics/will-natarajan-be-the-first-indian-american-mayor-of-fremont-ca/6222.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.973098 | 1,381 | 1.5625 | 2 |

Smart growth supports mixed land uses as a critical component of achieving better places to live. By putting residential, commercial and recreational uses in close proximity to one another, alternatives to driving, such as walking or biking, become viable. Mixed land uses also provide a more diverse and sizable population and commercial base for supporting viable public transit.

Vividly illustrated, this practical guide reveals how to develop mixed-use projects that incorporate place-making principles. Written by a team of experts, it lists the key points that can make or break a project and describes best practices and techniques developing mixed-use town centers, towers, urban villages, and districts.
Illustrated with photos, examples, and case studies, the book /5(2). Mixed use properties, as the name suggests, combine commercial, residential and even industrial spaces into one property. For investors, this means the combined benefits of both property types in one property (think: low vacancy rates and high quality tenants).

We compare four types of diversity measures: entropy scores (measures of equal distributions of walkable land use categories), distances to walkable destinations (parks and transit stops), proxy measures of mixed use (walk to work measures and neighborhood housing ages), and land use.
1. Introduction. Land use and land cover change in the tropics figures prominently in the climate change threat, with agricultural growth, deforestation, and forest degradation accounting for 12% of annual greenhouse gas emissions (Smith, Bustamante, ), and corresponding loss of the capacity of forests to absorb atmospheric carbon (Goodman & Herold, ).
The new book The Past and Future City addresses how historic preservation can go beyond the physical renovation and activation of old buildings and address issues like affordable housing, inequality, sustainability and displacement.

Mixed land use has become one of the backbones of contemporary planning policies such as Smart Growth and New Urbanism.
In Europe as well, the widely implemented Compact City Concept aims to increase densities and mixed land use (Rowley, ; Koomen, Dekkers, and van Dijk, ).

Introduction. Historical climatology consists of three elements: the reconstruction of past climate from documentary sources prior to the establishment of modern meteorological services; the study of the impacts of past climate variations and extremes on society, economy and agriculture; and the investigation into the cultural history of the perception of climate (Brázdil et al., ).
Land-use issues. There is a distinct possibility that the Bangkok City Plan will be put to use soon for the first time after several failed attempts in the past 30 years. Bangkok will be divided into blocks with 14 land-use zones clearly separating residential areas from industrial, agricultural, and recreational areas, and so on.
The natural environment provides material essentials for human survival and development. The characteristics, processes, regional differentiation and forcing mechanisms of the elements of the natural environment (e.g.
geomorphology, climate, hydrology, soil, etc.) are the main objects of research in physical geography. China has a complex natural environment and huge regional differentiation. Mixed-use development is in a broad sense any urban, suburban or village development, or even a single building, that blends a combination of residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or industrial uses, where those functions are physicall.
Land-use impacts have caused, and will in the future cause, instances of local opposition to the siting of renewable electricity-generating facilities and associated transmission lines. State and local government entities typically have primary jurisdiction over the local deployment of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.
Land parcel data are closely related to the concept of a cadastre, which is the “record of interests in land encompassing both the nature and extent of these interests” (NRC,p.

Baseline and Projected Future Carbon Storage and Greenhouse-Gas. The U.S. land area covers nearly billion acres. Inthe latest update to ERS's Major Land Uses (MLU) series, grassland pasture and range uses accounted for the largest share of the Nation's land base, surpassing land in forest uses, which includes grazed forest land, for the first time since Although the shares of land in different uses have fluctuated to some degree over time.
Urbanization’s contribution to land use change emerges as an important sustainability concern. Here, we demonstrate that projected urban area expansion will take place on some of the world’s most productive croplands, in particular in megaurban regions in Asia and Africa.

Maennerchor will sell its building, move
It's as big as a school, includes bars and has plenty of space for food service, entertainment and exercise. Plus, its walls hold more than 100 years of Erie history.
The Erie Maennerchor Club has put its State Street home, originally built in 1889, on the market for $950,000.
"The building is just too big," said William Dietz, trustee and past president. He said the organization had more than 2,000 members when he was president, but that the number of members has declined. The club now has about 1,300 members, including auxiliary members.
He said the club will still operate, but will search for a smaller location.
"We are selling the building, but we are maintaining the club," he said.
The 33,400-square-foot building at 1607 State St. is slightly larger than the 33,000-square-foot former Vernondale Elementary School in Millcreek Township, which now houses Voices for Independence.
The Maennerchor building houses a lot of memories that have been shared on social media since news broke Tuesday that the building was for sale.
The building, which has been an Erie fixture for decades, houses the club that started as the German singing society, which was established in 1871. Over the next century, it amassed thousands of members. Women were first admitted to the club as members in 1993. Its current 1,300 members isn't a small group, but the club, like many established Erie clubs, is no longer the hot spot it once was.
Decades ago, the Maennerchor was the place to go on weekends. Dan Geary, radio personality, remembered that he and his wife Mary Kay frequented the club on Saturday nights "to hear and dance to Johnny Manucci and the Tune Toppers."
Frank Kaleta, who was eating lunch with Mark Kulich, said he had been a member for 45 years and often brought General Electric executives to the club for lunches and dinners. But it was more than a spot for businessmen to meet. Many members bowled in leagues in the bowling alleys downstairs, but those were removed years ago and replaced with a sports bar. Duck pin lanes remain in the basement.
"We had everything here," Kaleta said. He recalled his kids drinking Mickey Mouse cocktails, and he said baptism parties, graduation parties, showers, weddings and wakes were all part of the life celebrations that his family had attended over the years.
Realtor Joe Herbert, of Joe Herbert Realty, said he was contacted about three weeks ago to list the club for sale.
"The plan is to downsize to about 10,000 to 12,000 square feet," Herbert said.
Herbert said the listing includes a fenced 2-acre lot, 182 paved parking spaces, commercial kitchen, six bars, three meeting rooms, a large dining area, sports bar and four duckpin bowling lanes. The second-floor reception hall can accommodate 275 people and includes a stage.
Who are good prospects for buyers? Herbert said it would make a great Dave & Busters restaurant and entertainment complex, and he has contacted a variety of real estate investors about possibilities. In addition, he said the club would take some of the memorabilia with them to mix old with new in a new location.
While large clubs like the East Erie Turners and others have closed due to declining memberships, Herbert said that other clubs have thrived in much smaller environments. One successful example was the Sportsmen's Athletic Club of Millcreek's move from its former location at 4102 West Lake Road — now occupied by Millcreek Brewing Co. — to a building half the size at 2727 W. Eighth St.

ECONOMIST Professor Oliver Saasa says instead of focusing on seeking moratoriums, government needs to urgently draft a bankable document which will convince all its creditors that not only is there transparency but there is also a debt strategy which can bring them some comfort.
And Prof Saasa says government might fail to source budget support financing from the international community if the state of affairs remains constant.
In an interview, Prof Saasa said the concept of treating everyone equal by defaulting on all loans did not make too much sense.
“People must appreciate and recognise that the debt crisis and how we manage it, how we manage the Eurobond holders, how we play around, whether we are talking about pari passu or not, ultimately, you have to pay and whether you are actually saying we want to treat everybody the same, treating everybody by defaulting with everybody does not help anybody does it? You cannot say I want to treat you similarly but I want to punish you similarly, I want to refuse to pay similarly, what is important is for us to start saying, look, we know what the bondholders are demanding, we know what the Chinese are requiring, the bottom line is that you must come up with a bankable document that will convince those you owe money, firstly that you are transparent, the figures you are reporting are correct, the conditions under which you have accessed debt from these, especially the Chinese is acceptable and it’s clear, you have declared all the debt that people must know about but most importantly, we have come up with a very clear convincing debt strategy that will bring that level of comfort to all the debtors,” said Prof Saasa.
“Chinese, bilaterals, multilaterals, bondholders, they need that so that they say, even if we give you a moratorium, we are sure that what you are showing us by six months down the line, we can see light at the end of the tunnel, you should be able to manage your debt stock. As long as we are not investing sufficient energy in coming up with that document, and we keep on talking about pari passu, it becomes meaningless to me. Because if that, I believe that yes the Central Bank has managed the monetary side of the equation which for me, is my least of worries at the moment, the elephant lies elsewhere and that it lies at the Ministry of Finance and the executive. So even if they did the wrong thing, there is a bigger wrong thing somewhere where it cannot even have the sort of desired effect.”
And Prof Saasa said government could fail to source budget support financing from the international community given the current state of affairs.
“Talking about stabilising, and I think the Central Bank doesn’t have much, the problem we have is less and this is the point that probably many people must understand. The major problem we are having at the moment is not monetary, you can have like what has happened, have no difficulties with maintaining the rate as they did with the Central Bank, the problem is in the fiscus. The problem is expenditure pattern, the problem is how we have contracted debt and manage it properly, the problem is how we manage the sectors that need stimulus including the mining sector that right now is the major source of foreign exchange but they are limping because of a host of things including the major bigger problem with the debt. So you find that while yes, the Central Bank perhaps must maintain that stability and I had no problem with that, I am seeing a much bigger problem that we need to engage in,” said Prof Saasa.
“The stabilisation is needed but you see, we are in a situation where there are too many moving parts, because of that, while we really need to sustain and stabilise inflation [and] in the process hope that we will see positive traction at different levels in the macro-economic fundamentals, I think we have this very fat, huge elephant in the room which obliterates most of what it takes to make a difference, the debt and it’s management. At the moment, you cannot access even the sort of resources we have projected to get from the international community to finance a significant portion of our budget next year. A big question mark is hovering over that mainly because as you know, a significant part is expected to be sourced from the market. We cannot expect significant investment flowing in, which is so important as a stimulus to the sort of growth that we want; foreign direct investment.” | <urn:uuid:4c7e5455-3898-4120-b3fc-e8bfe463fc94> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://diggers.news/local/2020/11/26/govt-needs-to-urgently-draft-debt-repayment-plan-whichll-comfort-creditors-saasa/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.975195 | 926 | 1.828125 | 2 |
When astronomers decided that Pluto was no longer a planet, many who memorized the names of nine planets in in school and spent hours building models of them for science projects were upset that all of this high-quality education was for naught. This was never a concern with the Moon, which didn’t have a name to memorize nor any competition in orbit around the Earth … until recently. Astronomers have discovered the second known mini-moon circling the planet, and there’s probably more. Will there be time to add it before the next science fair? Will it still be around by then?
BIG NEWS (thread 1/3). Earth has a new temporarily captured object/Possible mini-moon called 2020 CD3. On the night of Feb. 15, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Teddy Pruyne and I found a 20th magnitude object. Here are the discovery images.
On February 15, 2020, astronomers Kacper Wierzchos and Teddy Pruyne at the Catalina Sky Survey operating out of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in Tucson spotted what they believed to be a mini-moon orbiting Earth. They quickly made over 30 more observations in two days to confirm the discovery of a space rock measuring a mere 6 to 12 feet (1.9 to 3.5 meters) in diameter – so small that it may not have been discovered had it not been reflecting sunlight like its really big brother. They quickly commissioned a photographer and captured the first image of the mini-moon – now called 2020 CD3 or C26FED2 – and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Minor Planet Center announced it to the world.
"Orbit integrations indicate that this object is temporarily bound to the Earth. No link to a known artificial object has been found. Further observations and dynamical studies are strongly encouraged."
Wait … what? “Temporarily bound”? Maybe you should scrap the ‘Earth and its Moons’ project completely and go with an old reliable volcano. It turns out that 2020 CD3 and the only other mini-moon -- 2006 RH120 – don’t stay in Earth orbit forever. In fact, they don’t even stay for a few years. 2006 RH120 was only in Earth orbit from September 2006 to June 2007, and 2020 CD3, while it’s been around since around 2017, will probably leave by April 2020. That’s no joke – merely a sign of what the two mini-moons really are -- tiny near-Earth asteroids that get captured by Earth’s gravity for a short time before slipping back out into space or being consumed by the atmosphere.
Or are they something else?
“Although we still have no idea entirely what the object is, experts believe it is either a rare space rock or a manmade object that has become locked by our planet’s gravity.”
Curiosmos reports that the highly-reflective surface of 2020 CD3 has some questioning whether it’s truly a space rock or if it might be a missing satellite, rocket part or other piece of space junk. It may be difficult to identify 2020 CD3 before April because it’s moving away from Earth.
“It came just in time to witness humanity fight the coronavirus. Coincidence...I think not.”
If it’s not an NEO and not one of ours, Scott Waring of ET Data Base suggests it’s one of theirs – with ‘them’ being aliens monitoring the spread of the coronavirus on Earth. Farfetched? Not much more farther to fetch than the theory that the virus came to Earth on a recent meteor which traveled over Wuhan before crashing in China. Yes, most people would not reject ‘coincidence’ as fast as Waring does and the dots are pretty far apart. What would help is a better photo of 2020 CD3 or the discovery of more mini-moons – something astronomer Amy Mainzer sees happening as soon as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile is operational in 2022 and recording images of the entire sky every few days to produce a time-lapse movie of the universe.
“We can only see what we have the technology to see. And necessarily, that’s not everything all of the time.”
Type that up, put it on your ‘Earth and its Moons’ science project and maybe the judges will give you a break … this time. | <urn:uuid:5b39c786-19cb-4bf9-bf76-35d81ee3f49d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/03/earths-new-mini-moon-may-be-something-else/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.941898 | 978 | 3.25 | 3 |

From the edge of Rocky Point pier, the war canoes cut a line towards the head of the inlet, frothing wakes trailing behind the painted orange and resin-treated hulls.
From the shore, Breanna Hall watched.
“Looks like fun,” she said as the pullers (paddlers) from Scowlitz and Skwah First Nations jockeyed for the win.
Last Saturday, Fish Fest came back to Port Moody, and with it young Indigenous paddlers gathered at Rocky Point Park to race canoes in what is believed to be the first event of its kind in more than 100 years, according to Kwikwetlem First Nation organizer Stephen Armstrong.
The event brought together the Sto:lo nations of Scolitz and Skwah, together with the Tsleil-Waututh and Kwikwetlem nations, whose territories overlap around Burrard Inlet. Unlike races held on reserve, Armstrong organized the event to be inclusive so that Indigenous and non-Indigenous people could watch together.
Armstrong, who lives off reserve in Metro Vancouver, has a clear view of the continued discrimination against Indigenous youth and what events like Fish Fest can do to help.
“That ‘dirty Indian’ persona is still there,” he said. “The only way to fight it is to empower our youth as our next generation of leaders so that they portray that self confidence.”
That, says Armstrong, is where canoe pulling comes in.
But while elders from many nations — including Kwikwetlem Chief Ed Hall — witnessed the event, no one from the local First Nation dipped a paddle in the water Saturday. Armstrong says canoe pulling has fallen off among the Kwikwetlem youth.
For the Scolitz, up valley and on the water, you can see how canoe pulling has become an all-encompassing way of life. Chrystal McCallum Williams and her husband, Chief Sunny Williams, have brought together young Indigenous canoe pullers through the Golden Eagles Canoe Club (Ts’esqel), a team that has opened its arms to other nations in the Agassiz area.
“They’re not out there playing with video games, not sitting in front of a TV,” said Kathy James, whose two granddaughters, Tashuana and Hasana, competed in the Port Moody race. “These kids are dedicated to seven days a week of training, four hours a day on the water. No alcohol, no drugs.”
Sitting under the gazebo at the end of Rocky Point pier, James reminisced about how much has changed in the Tri-Cities since she grew up in Burquitlam in the 1960s and ’70s.
Daughter of a Caucasian mother and O’Chiese father from Rocky Mountain House, Alta., James attended Centennial secondary school at a time when she was afraid to tell her first boyfriend about her Indigenous side.
“Being in the city where you can’t be native, it makes it really hard. It was a suppressed way of life,” she told The Tri-City News, stressing that her father always feared his daughter would be whisked off to a residential school.
Every summer, her family would travel back to Alberta to reconnect with their roots through powwows.
“That’s how we had to live. We didn’t have a choice,” she said. “ It was like living a lie.”
James now lives near Agassiz, where she celebrates her Indigenous side and says canoe pulling has taken over the role powwows once played, connecting young people to their past.
Seeing that play out on the waters around Port Moody — a place where she remembers “nothing native” as a kid — “really warms the heart.”
At the end of the race, the war canoes get hoisted out of the water, someone roasts a salmon on a barbecue and a sea-life-inspired puppet show plays out on the grass. Under a pop-up pavilion, organizers prepare prize money for the winners as a Venezuelan punk rock band blasts an ode to family members left behind.
“I was never good at doing cultural things on reserve,” said Armstrong, adding he’s always been better at bridging groups than working inside of them.
Armstrong pointed to seven-year-old Jack Williams, son of the Scowlitz chief, who holds the honorary title of Kwikwetlem as a middle name. “Our ancestors spread out to the valley, descendants of [the original] Kwikwetlem William. We’re all of Kwikwetlem,” he said.
“If we can get more canoe races going here, have more canoe families join us — urban indigenous people, on-reserve indigenous people — we can make this grow.
“The spirit is reawakening. We never lose our culture. It goes to sleep. And this is just one of the ways that it is starting to reawaken.” | <urn:uuid:e5f287b6-02b0-4222-b255-69ac38671020> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tricitynews.com/local-news/port-moody-canoe-race-returns-after-100-year-hiatus-3105271 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571909.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813051311-20220813081311-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.960389 | 1,082 | 1.679688 | 2 |
On-demand Webinar: Simulation of Compression Molding and Prepreg Overmolding
The continuous surge in demand for lightweight yet high-strength design has prompted large components to undergo composite-for-metal replacement. One of the most common processes for making composite products is a two-step process – draping followed by compression molding of the draped part . With this process, the challenge is how to effectively control the deformed shape of the final part. In this webinar, we will show you how to obtain the effects of draping on fiber orientation through LS-DYNA structural analysis software, and then export the effects into Moldex3D for an integrated analysis. Such an analysis can help engineers evaluate the effects of draping on warpage for the best possible design. | <urn:uuid:3d4eadf6-1d24-48e1-90bf-6c718cc5de33> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.moldex3d.com/on_demand_webinar/past-webinar-integrating-draping-and-compression-molding-processes/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.903329 | 162 | 1.84375 | 2 |

Access to safe and clean water is crucial amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It used to take half an hour to fetch water from a spring in Barangay Renti, a village in Upi, Maguindanao. The ILO Japan Water and Sanitation (WatSan) Project collaborated with indigenous peoples to build a new water system. Households, schools, and indigenous communities now have access to safe and clean water.
The project trained and hired Tedurays, a group of indigenous peoples to construct the water system, of which 30 per cent are women. They received wages and social protection benefits, and the project guaranteed occupational safety and health, and cared for the environment through reforestation. More importantly, the project respected indigenous cultures and traditions working hand in hand with the Tedurays. | <urn:uuid:ec3d36c0-0603-4a86-aea5-44ea4476c0ac> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ilo.org/manila/public/vid/WCMS_823406/lang--ja/index.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.945539 | 166 | 3.140625 | 3 |

‘Microbiome skin care‘ has established itself in the market place. Where it began with niche brands, now mainstream brands have jumped on the bandwagon as well. What do we know about the skin microbiome? What is the skin microbiome?
Knowledge is lacking on the exact composition of the skin microbiota and the exact mechanisms with which it interacts with the skin. Virtually every day new species of microorganisms are discovered on the skin. Some species are associated with skin diseases. A well-known example is Staphylococcus aureus (S aureus) which plays an important negative role in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis. Propionibacterium acnes, now called Cutibacterium acnes (C acnes), is another species which is associated with a skin disease, in this case acne. Staphylococcus epidermidisis another well-known species, considered as one of the ‘good’ microbes on the skin. Many other species live on and in the skin, though, and is S epidermidis really just ‘good’?
Are ‘good’ microbes good?
‘The dose makes the poison’. This does not just go for ‘molecules’, but also for microorganisms. No species can be considered 100% harmless.S epidermidis, commonly recognized as ‘good’, is only good at a low enough dose and on intact skin. It can be considered to be a so-called ‘pathobiont’. On compromised skin it can trigger severe adverse effects. The application of Sepidermidison sterilized skin leads to severe disruption of the quality of skin and barrier function. On the other hand, one of the predominant microbes living on oily skin, Cutibacterium acnes, is a commensal skin bacterium which is not always necessarily a pathogen. It can safely be concluded that there is no such thing as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria. We should rather consider a ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’ mix of microorganisms. Healthy, non-diseased skin, shows a ‘healthy’ (‘not unhealthy’, at least partly ‘mutualistic’) mix, whereas with many skin diseases it is clear that the mix of microbes is unhealthy (at least partly pathogenic).

Always Right is Slate’s pop-up blog exploring customer service across industries, technologies, and human relationships.
In an interview with New York magazine in March, David Letterman recalled the time a cashier at DSW sent him into existential crisis. “I’m waiting in line,” the former late-night host related, “and the woman checking people out says in a big loud voice, ‘May I help our next shoe lover, please?’ I just started to tremble.” Worse than the invitation’s presumption of intimacy could be the unholy way it combines stultifying cheerfulness with capitalist coercion. You’re going to buy these shoes, and you’re going to love it.
The Soup Nazi screamed “NEXT!” Sometimes you hear “Ma’am?” and you wonder how old you look that day. Sometimes it’s a smile or a nod or lingering eye contact and the next thing you know you and the barista at Saxbys are in bed together. (This is not something that’s ever happened to me, but I imagine it transpires frequently, what with all the smiling, nodding, and eye contact. Either that or you wind up with three more Luna bars than you wanted.) How do cashiers select the words they use to indicate that it’s your turn? And do they have any choice in the matter?
The 21st-century boilerplate for this interaction is, of course, “May I help the following guest?” which many Slatesters recall leaping to the fore at Starbucks, drugstores, and elsewhere sometime in the previous decade. With its classy substitution of “guest” for “customer” and its ostentatiously grammatical swap of “following” for “next,” the phrase threatens to turn your trip to Staples into an unwritten Bertie Wooster novel. A New York Times article from 2015 conceded: “Clearly the word ‘guest’ is supposed to lend an aura of warmth and welcoming.” But guest—which evokes coffee, biscuits, and a place to sleep—is hardly compatible with jamming your credit card into one of Giant’s chip readers while a bored teenager throws your detergent in a bag. “Be Your Guest? How About I Just Pay and Leave?” the headline complained.
Yet it is tough to fault salespeople (and their corporate overlords) for wishing to wrap us in an illusory heating blanket of kindly intentions. Some employees know that gracious service pays off; others genuinely want to be nice; often it’s a mixture of both. When I started asking friends and colleagues who’ve worked the register about communicating “nextness,” what emerged was a portrait of the contradictions that plague service industries in general. “I can help the next person in line,” said a literalist Urban Outfitters clerk. A cashier at a corner store relied on “subtle umming.” A shy Toys R Us counter drone opted for the minimal “Next, please.” A Nike store employee would occasionally produce “an out-of-the-ordinary noise to get someone’s attention, like ‘Heyyyyooooooooo, next up.’ ” Since he was in Florida, he added, the noise had a way of coming out vaguely Spanish, a polite variation on “oye amigo, look alive.”
Shoppers usually regard a cashier as a mechanism by which to obtain a latte or flat-screen TV. And for the cashier, the guy lugging his swag to the counter represents a simple task to be dispensed with, like a turtle you jump over playing Super Mario Bros. (Most of the jumps are easy, but remember, if you let your concentration flag for even a moment, that turtle could wreck you.) Each transaction involves a two-way depersonalization; yet only one of the sides is forced to pretend that they see the other as an important and multifaceted individual.
Consider the screen glimpsed by reporter Nathan McDermott at his local Starbucks.
“Recognize me,” the directive read, apparently in the customer’s voice. “Include me. Appreciate me. Support me. Delight me.” Is there anything less personal than corporately mandated, one-size-fits-all solicitude? (“Gag me,” one is tempted to reply.)
For all that the archetypal customer experience is being put on hold, it’s the cashiers, suppressing their feelings in the name of efficiency and profit, most often asked to place themselves on hold, and to defer their true emotions and responses until the shift ends. At the same time, an authentic connection can move products, and it makes human beings feel that their work is worthwhile. So what’s the answer—do you, drooping employee, pray for those moments in which capitalist imperatives and inner impulses align? Just get really, really good at faking it?
I had always suspected that modern, ruthlessly customer-focused businesses would mandate a certain greeting, or range of greetings, with the same sterile corporate spirit encapsulated by that Starbucks register screen. But no one remembered following a script. I reached out to the corporate brass at Target, Walmart, Starbucks, CVS Pharmacy, and Walgreens for thoughts on nextness signaling. (Free business jargon for the next retreat, guys!)
None of them got back to me. Insert your joke about poor customer service here.
Reco, 26, works at the counter at an H&M clothing store in D.C. When I approached with a $9.95 pack of underpants that I grabbed out of a bin by the register, he acknowledged me with a radiant smile. He said he switches up his language both to prevent boredom and to deliver a more tailored experience to individual shoppers: “I don’t like to make it too mechanical.” Reco prefers everyday words and gestures—“just smiling and nodding will get you a long way,” he observed. While H&M doesn’t prescribe specific phrases, he thinks the chain’s interview process screens for sunny cashiers like him. He wouldn’t have this job “if I was miserable having to deal with people all the time.”
What about rude people?
“That hasn’t really happened,” Reco said. “Are you going to buy this underwear?”
I also called one of the many Starbucks peppering the neighborhood around Slate’s D.C. office. I spoke to a manager who revealed that the company has no “actual policy” and leaves such matters to the discretion of the local franchise heads. “We do one person at a time,” he said, of his own store, “and we want everyone to feel taken care of. Rudeness isn’t tolerated.” When I pressed him about scripted expressions, he noted the most common ones he hears from his employees are “can I help you?” and “next in line.” But he added that “it is common courtesy to ask what’s going on.”
“Does that mean that Starbucks cashiers will actually say, ‘What’s going on?’ ” I responded, delighted at the caj vibe of such an icebreaker.
Silence. “Would that be a problem?” he asked.
Then I tried to get his name, and he hung up on me. Next!
Actually, can we pause for a second over how great it feels when your turn arrives? This is one of the core paradoxes of “may I help the next person”—that a moment so repetitious and dream-shriveling for the cashier carries such a singular affirmative power for the customer. There you are, waiting for the people ahead of you to resolve their business, sagging a bit under the weight of the social compact that equates every single other schmoe’s desires with yours. And then: The karmic klieg light swivels to soak you in its golden glow.
Whether you are picking up your prescription or buying a bagel, there’s primal, joyful satisfaction in approaching the counter, because you—you!—are “next.” But on the other side of that counter, all of the yous blur together into one long yawn. And by convention, that person, the bored one, is the party that is supposed to act cheerful. And so capitalism goes, until the moment you arrive at the gates of Heaven to find a smiling St. Peter amiably processing his long line of souls. “Oye amigo, look alive,” he’ll joke, at which point a lifetime of consumer interactions will have hopefully taught you how to see past the façade and respond with empathy. Cashiers are there to help the following guest. But God helps those who help themselves. | <urn:uuid:161fca55-6842-4579-aa44-aa77f6ecb88e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://slate.com/business/2017/09/may-i-help-the-following-guest-and-other-ways-cashiers-let-customers-know-its-their-turn.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.949684 | 1,942 | 1.75 | 2 |

If you are considering buying a plate heat exchanger
, you may be wondering what type you should choose. These exchangers can be found in both copper and nickel models. The copper variety is capable of temperatures up to 425F and a pressure of up to 450 PSI. In case of higher pressures, a nickel-brazed design is also available. Here are some of the key features of these units.
SIGMABRAZE HYDAC HEX S
SIGMABRAZE HYDAC hex S nickel brazed plate heat exchangers are compact, robust, and a cost-effective solution for heat transfer. These heat exchangers are made from 316 stainless steel and copper brazing materials, providing exceptional corrosion resistance while being comparatively small in size. HYDAC hex s nickel brazed plate heat exchanger FHC090 has high wall friction that minimizes surface deposits.
One of the most efficient ways to transfer heat is to use brazed plate heat exchangers. These devices use a stack of stamped heat transfer plates, which are vacuum brazed with either copper or nickel. A special stamp pattern creates turbulent flow that is essential for optimum heat transfer. The high level of wall friction minimizes surface deposits and also acts as a self-cleaning effect.
Copper brazed units are compatible with water, Ethylene Glycol-based Water Solution, and other common coolants. These units are capable of operating at temperatures up to 195 degC and pressures up to 31 bar. Nickel-brazed units are suited for higher temperatures and pressures, and are available in a nickel-brazed design. For superior corrosion-resistance, nickel-brazed units are available.
The compact design and high efficiency of brazed plate heat exchangers have made them a popular choice for many applications. They are also durable, leak-proof, and compact. They can be as small as 50% to 80% of the size of a conventional shell-and-tube unit. And, they can be used in harsh environments. These advantages make them a smart choice for many applications, and help you save money on energy bills.
HYDAC HEX S
The HYDAC HEX S Nickel Brased Plate Heat Exchanger is certified to comply with the WaterMark certification scheme. The scheme, administered by the Australian Building Codes Board on behalf of the Federal Government, accredits certain plumbing and drainage products as fit for purpose. This heat exchanger is suitable for use in indirect heating and cooling systems. For more information about this product, please read its specifications.
The compact and efficient HYDAC HEX S Nickel Brazeld Plate Heat Exchanger is available in two different types: the copper and stainless steel versions. These heat exchangers feature embossed heat transfer plates with gaskets made from nitrile rubber, EPDM, or Viton. This makes these units an excellent supplement to the brazed version. The nickel-brazed version is available in pressures up to 10 bar. Special models are available for higher pressures.
The plate pack is installed in a frame, with a pressure plate and fixed plate, and fastened with bolts or flanges. There are different plate packs for different applications, as well as different number of plates. The inlet and outlet connections are threaded or flanged. Special models are also available with higher grades of materials and higher temperature ratings. The following check-list will assist in the selection of a plate heat exchanger. | <urn:uuid:4ea306db-5209-40d6-8237-7b8a164a7eba> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.forwon.com/news/hydac-hex-s-nickel-brazed-plate-heat-exchanger-fhc090.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.925502 | 730 | 2.015625 | 2 |
Latest statistics show that one in four children in the Borders are now living with what is described as material deprivation.
Donna Manson, the authority’s service director for children and young people, said that 24% of Borders children come from families of limited resources, and that is 4% higher than the national average.
“I am absolutely infuriated when I receive documents saying that our young people are living in an area of affluence,” Ms Manson said.
“That kind of analysis does not truly reflect what it is like for the people living in the Borders today. In real terms, we have many families living in poverty.”
A report presented to the council’s executive on Tuesday showed that pupils in the region’s most deprived areas, including Burnfoot and Wellogate in Hawick and Langlee achieved less well in both numeracy and literacy than those from the least deprived.
Speaking at the meeting, Hawick and Denholm councillor Stuart Marshall said that the figures for Burnfoot were shocking.
“To see this part of my ward so far up the list is a great concern to me,” he said. “This latest round of figures show that our efforts must be redoubled.”
Ms Manson admitted that closing the gap would be a significant challenge but said that good work, although in its infancy, was taking place.
She added: “What we have to do now is work together to understand and to poverty-proof our schools.”
Borders schools were allocated £1.82m of pupil equity funding, targeted at closing the poverty related attainment gap, in April last year. Two attainment officers were subsequently appointed to support schools with their plans for its use.
“We’re looking to build solutions together, and I think we have got some really exciting work developing,” Ms Manson added.
The executive agreed that the council would approach ministers and senior officers in the Scottish Government to discuss the possibility of innovation funding in recognition of increasing child poverty levels in the region. | <urn:uuid:5286e92c-f009-4935-b7a5-cf6f3ebae6f1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thesouthernreporter.co.uk/news/child-poverty-rise-borders-figures-reveal-711629 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571198.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810161541-20220810191541-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.976553 | 430 | 1.96875 | 2 |
Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 0 The BBC has released what they are claiming as the first global study of multi-screen news consumption. Second-screening statistics was interesting, as the vast majority (83%) of tablet users say they have watched television while using their tablet. It was not surprising to see the 24-hour news interaction cycle for each screen (device) type with computer news consumption spiking in the morning (probably during work breaks) and television spiking in the evening when users are at home.

If you opt to use an external library such as MudBlazor for your Blazor projects, and are using Visual Studio 2022, you may well discover that you’re missing any kind of intellisense for the bundled styles (that come with the library).
Taking MudBlazor specifically, it includes some handy utility classes for setting things like margins and padding.
The problem is, if you spin up a new MudBlazor project then start trying to use these classes in your Blazor components, you’ll be left guessing what’s available because there is no intellisense for them.
Take this code for example…
<div class="d-flex"> <div class="blue white-text pa-4">a</div> <div class="flex-grow-1 red white-text pa-4">b</div> </div>
Here we’re using classes such as
pa-4 to set padding on all edges to
4 (which is actually 16px, if you’re interested)
Try to work on this code in VS2022 (at the time of writing) and you’ll have to make do without intellisense.
Having explored this problem for a few hours it turns out to be a known limitation of the new Razor editor (which shipped with VS 2022).
When you use MudBlazor (or other libraries) you usually add them via a Nuget package.
<link href="_content/MudBlazor/MudBlazor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Under the hood, when you build your app (during development) .NET looks for a staticwebassets.runtime.json file in your project’s build output directory.
This JSON file then directs .NET to the location of any static assets referenced by the project.
In the case of a project which references MudBlazor, the mapping file will likely include an entry pointing to the Nuget Cache, like this one from my project:
Note, this is only during development.
When you build your app for production the assets are rounded up and distributed as part of the published output.
Here’s the problem for intellisense in VS… The new razor editor does not yet have support for populating intellisense based on static assets linked from Nuget packages this way.
As confirmed by MS here:
So this is annoying. If you create your own stylesheets and put them in your project’s wwwroot folder you’ll get intellisense, but not if you use a package via NuGet (like MudBlazor).
It’s pretty safe to assume Microsoft will release an update which fixes this at some point, but in the meantime there is a workaround.
If you are able to take the files from the NuGet cache and copy them to your wwwroot folder, you might just be able to have your MudBlazor cake and eat it too! 🙂
Of course, you can do it manually; head to the Nuget cache, manually copy the files and paste them into wwwroot.
But then you’d have to do this every time you update MudBlazor, or clone your project to a new machine.
A better option is to integrate it into the build process.
Turns out that’s possible with a little help from MSBuild.
Here’s an MSBuild task you can add to your project’s .csproj file which automates the copying of the static files to wwwroot.
<Target Name="CollectMudBlazorStaticAssets" DependsOnTargets="ResolveStaticWebAssetsInputs" AfterTargets="Build" Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' "> <Copy SourceFiles="%(StaticWebAsset.Identity)" DestinationFolder="wwwroot/temp" Condition="$([System.String]::Copy(%(StaticWebAsset.Identity)).Contains('mudblazor'))" /> </Target>
It looks a bit weird (I mean, it is MSBuild after all, and if you don’t spend much time here it always seems a little alien) but this runs during development (not for production builds) and takes the output from a built-in task called
ResolveStaticWebAssetsInputs locates all static files for the project, and is a built-in Microsoft Task which runs as part of the usual build process.
The call to
<Copy SourceFiles= … /> iterates over these static files, looking for any containing the word mudblazor, and copies them to the project’s wwwroot/temp folder.
With this in place, when you rebuild your project you’ll find MudBlazor’s static assets in
wwwroot\temp and intellisense will spring into life.
A hack? Probably, but you’ll be glad you did!
I’m pretty sure this code falls into “hack” territory, and will almost certainly slow your development build down if you have lots of static assets…
But it makes intellisense work until Microsoft release something more official, so may just be worth adding to your project’s csproj file 🙂 | <urn:uuid:99e529df-6b67-464f-92a9-c2ac51350a31> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jonhilton.net/visual-studio-2022-blazor-css-intellisense/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.834339 | 1,243 | 1.507813 | 2 |
Sleep Tips: How to Sleep Better and Naturally Fall Asleep?
For many years, I considered my sleep as a waste of time: 8 hours doing nothing!? Even today I still hardly accept that I’ll spend 8 hours per day sleeping for the rest of my life. It’s a lot of time in our lives.
But I’ve realized that exceptional quality of sleep is a superpower!
In fact, since my early years as an entrepreneur I tried to optimize it. I have tried polyphasic sleep for example.
Polyphasic sleep is a practice where you schedule different phase of sleeps during the day; for example (but there are many variations), 4 hours of sleep at night and two naps of 30 minutes during the day. ‘Poly’ means ‘many’ in ancient Greek and ‘phasic’ = phase.
Anyway, the goal of today’s article is to give you some sleep tips. I want to help you understand how you can fall asleep naturally and improve the quality of your sleep.
Why it’s important to sleep better?
Let’s try to compare two scenarios,
I want to picture yourself after spending a horrible night:
You went to bed at 1am to finish working on one project you have to finish. You’ve had insomnia and woke up after a nightmare at 6:30am… And when looking at the time on your phone, you realize you have to be awake in 30 minutes. You hesitate… but thinking of how late you went to bed, you try to take the best of these 30 minutes left and fall asleep.
And 30 mins later, right in the middle of your sleep cycle, you are woken up by your alarm. Probably snooze it a couple of times before finally giving up and pulling yourself out of bed. You are not feeling good. The only thing you want right now is to go back to bed, but your day is starting and you have to get ready.
It’s probably a horrible morning ahead 🌧⚡️
I want you to picture yourself after a good night sleep.
You’ve just had a full night of straight sleep. It was easy to fall asleep. No interruption during that night. At some point you heard the neighbor’s dog barking but it didn’t bother you, you went straight back to sleep. On that morning, you could wake up at the time you decided. You don’t have to rush out of bed.
It’s a beautiful morning ahead ☀️
So, which morning would you prefer having?
To me, I consider my sleep important because I believe this is what helps us enjoy our days more.
Sleep better = Live better.
After a good night sleep you are full of energy and ready to tackle all the challenges ahead. You may be more enthusiastic, more creative, more present. You also don’t need all the drugs to keep you awake such as coffee, sugar, energy drinks and other supplements.
Think of sleep as your super power. It’s the start of a healthier and more fulfilling life. Only for this reason, I believe this is important to pay attention to our sleep quality.
5 things I do to sleep better
Respecting my sleep schedule everyday
It’s something I had difficulties to implement because I’ve always liked to be flexible and enjoy the freedom we have as entrepreneurs. If I can choose my own schedule, why would I want to implement a series of boring routines and schedules?
But the truth is, having a fixed schedule helps your body to work for you. By creating a habit of going to sleep at the same time and waking up at the same time, over time, your body will help you wake up and fall asleep. Simply because he knows that it’s the usual time for you.
And it is satisfying to wake up 5 minutes before your alarm while having slept enough time.
So I’d recommend to choose a time you want to wake up everyday, calculate how many hours of sleep you need at night… and respect this schedule.
PRO TIPS: You could set an alarm to let you know it’s time to go to bed. For example you can set it 1h before your bed time. As funny as it may seem, I’ve done that and it helped me to discipline myself and stop scrowling on my phone and start getting ready for bed. Or even end a late hangout with friends because it was getting late.
Daily reviews: preparing tomorrow, today
One of the biggest problem entrepreneurs face is anxiety. Especially toward the future. So I recommend that you focus on preparing tomorrow, today.
Preparing your tomorrow is much easier than planning 3 months or 3 years ahead. So that’s why I prepare the next day ahead and get ready to smash my goals.
You can do like me: Take 15 minutes at the end of your workday, review what you’ve done and what is left to be done. And allocate your tasks for the next day.
You may even start journalling about what happened and write down your struggles, your successes, etc. Since I do it, my mind is more calm after this little exercice and it surely helps to go to bed.
It will help you to feel better about what you’ve accomplished but also release some of the possible burden you may have in your head.
After this, you can spend the evening focusing on your family and friends. Then fall asleep, knowing that tomorrow is under control.
Drinking less coffee and banning it after lunch time
It’s a hard one. I know. Living in Vietnam; the land of ca phe sua da, the land of robusta… In Saigon, I don’t know any street that doesn’t have any coffee. And trust me, usually it’s more something like 10 coffee shops per 100 meters…
But I am also coming from France and one of our favorite activity at work is to stand by the coffee machine. And I remember I could drink a lot of coffee too…
So as long as I’ll be in Vietnam, it’s probably going to be very hard not to drink their delicious coffee… I used to drink 3-5 coffees per day. It’s easy to drink coffee when you have meetings all day and you love coffee…
The problem with coffee is that it’s competing with your sleep. If you cannot avoid it, then you can limit yourself.
I came up with two rules to trick my body and mind to stop this madness:
- Lobby for having my meetings in the afternoon.
- Ban driking coffee past lunch time.
So at least I know that during my afternoon meetings, I’ll not be drinking coffee. And eventually, I’d drink only one in the morning. This has helped my body to agree to shutdown in the evening and letting me go to sleep.
PS: after doing this for a while, I’m more into having a coffee from time to time these days. I’ve also realised that reducing my coffee intake has helped me improve my skin beauty.
No phone next to my bed
I am constantly on my phone ALL DAY. It’s a tool for work, for socializing and for entertainment. Our apps are competing for attention. How could I not use it? It’s a hard battle.
The problem with using your phone before bed is that you bring your work, your friends and your entertainment with you while you are supposed to fall asleep. It’s totally contradictory.
So I’ve set a limit: I must leave my phone outside my bedroom, in airplane mode, until the next morning.
Of course it’s hard and of course there are days where I fail. But by trying to implement this I know that I’m going to sleep better.
PRO TIPS: For those who uses their phone as an alarm, well, you can buy a 2$ clock that can ring properly. You can also leave your phone far enough from the bed, so that when it rings, you will need to wake up to turn it off.
Performing my shutdown routine before bed
After 8:30pm, I have a shutdown routine. I’d perform a series of little things that help me to fall asleep. As I like to vary it, I cannot really give you in detail what I do but here are a few ideas:
One hour before bed, find things you could do to calm yourself and prepare for bed:
- Reading a book (a novel)
- Petting your cat or your dog
- Drinking a hot infusion
- Turning on relaxing music
- Giving a massage to your partner
- Practicing yoga or meditation
The idea is not to be perfect right away. If there is one thing I’d like you guys to remember from this article is that sleep is part of our day as much as other tasks we perform. If your nights are difficult, chances are your days are not necessarily better.
What you do during your day has an impact on how your nights will be.
Understand this and step by step, you will identify and try what works best for you to sleep better and fally asleep naturally.
And it’s really depending on the little things. For example, for me, I also decided to move to a new apartment in a quieter neighborhood because of the noise. And this changed everything.

This seems to be a good time for some reflections on the current pandemic raging over our planet. It becomes increasing clear that there is no “back to normal” even after the Covid-19 virus is «under control”. Global economic recession, reigning in civil liberties, the threat of a “second wave” etc.etc. are all effects that will devastate perhaps even more than the crisis we are living now.
This outbreak spells the end of a lot of practices, preconceptions and beliefs and will shape a different reality. This is the one certainty in this mess.
So, let’s imagine it is all good! A crisis is always an opportunity to rethink and rebuild, so what if we, collectively, take this opportunity?
After engaging in some serious wishful thinking I have compiled a list of what this Pandemic will put an end to:
- The Trump presidency. The combination of utter cluelessness and megalomania is never more dangerous than in times of crisis. As the death toll rises in the US, this becomes more and more apparent to anyone capable of paying a minimum of attention. This crisis will end the reign of the con man in charge.
- Populism. Choosing leaders that will say whatever to cater to a constituency’s lowliest prejudices and plain ignorance has never panned out well, and as we see how populist leaders fail in the US, UK, Brazil etc. this spells the end of populism.
- Unfettered capitalism. Phrases like «trickle down economy», «greed is good» are all phrases that will be resigned to the scrap-heap of history. With extreme capitalism as the leading philosophy, what we have in a global crisis is brutal exploration (by countries and companies alike) in stead of global collaboration.
- The Pharmaceutical chokehold. In a world of extreme capitalism one of the primary beneficiaries is the pharmaceutical industry. One of the most important lessons we’ll take away from a global health crisis is to wrest this power away from private, global companies.
- Tech-Giant Dominance Sure, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey donating $ 1 Billion to “Global Covid-19 relief” is a good thing. How he come to have 1B to give away, however is another story. Twitter as with the “Top 5” tech companies, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet (Google), are collectively responsible for a breathtaking amount of threats to our democracies, with misinformation and bowing down to dictatorships being the worst transgressions. Do we really want these companies in charge of the future of the human race? After this, the answer will be self evident.
- National protectionism – The UN secretary general, António Guterres, has said: “The relationship between the biggest powers has never been as dysfunctional. Covid-19 is showing dramatically, either we join [together] … or we can be defeated.” The knee-jerk reaction of weak leaders is to try and hermetically seal borders and preach isolation. Once the necessary isolation period is over, what we will do is have more cross-border collaboration and trust, using the international agencies to their full potential.
- Celebrity Worship. One of the revelations of the pandemic is the complete uselessness of celebrity culture. In times of a global crisis it becomes crystal clear who really are the important members of society, nurses, doctors, teachers and basically everyone working to keep the wheels of society turning in stead of posting “helpful” how to exercise at home videos or starting virtual sing-alongs of f***ing “Imagine”!
- Influencers. I’ll venture a guess that influencers in the social media sphere are: 80% celebrities, 18% promoters of useless consumer goods (games, make-up) and 2% various. The post-pandemic era will see new influencers take over, people with real skills and talent who can actually influence people with useful ideas and content.
- Ignorance of pollution and Climate Change. Especially seeing the effect on large urban centers when humans have been taken out of the equation has been a real eye-opener, and probably done more for a general understanding of what we are doing to our environment than 30 years of climate research reports. Fish returning to the center of Venice, a smogless L.A. Skyline, a dramatic drop in fatalities caused by contamination in Beijing are all effects of the retreat of the human race from the public domain.
- Live animal markets. Apparently this whole shit-show originated in a live animal market in the Wuhan province of China. Now is the time to close that crap down. If we hold on to medieval practices, there will be “medieval” consequences!
- Lax personal and public hygiene. How about if we all just washed our hands, huh? Doctors starting doing this before handling patients around 1847. This had a pretty damn good effect on mortality rates at hospitals back then. This is the final lesson we all needed to introduce adequate hygiene standards in the home and in public.
- 9 to 5 work hours – The flexibility offered by virtual tools should’ve made rigid work-hours obsolete a long time ago! This crisis has made the positive personal and societal effects of more mobility in the workplace too obvious to ignore.
- Overcrowding on public transport – Flexible work-hours will be a serious factor in reducing overcrowding. Not having 90% of the workforce traveling to work simultaneously, will reduce noise pollution, carbon emissions and stress levels. We’ll have a quieter and more balanced work-life to return back to.
Ok, so yea, in case you missed it, this is “wishful thinking” on my part, but if now’s not the time, then when?
If there’s one ting you can say about the human race it is that it learns from its mistakes! | <urn:uuid:1109fe37-97c8-4bf4-9cc9-42b8c4a0f0e0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bovibe.com/coronavirus-aftermath/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.932302 | 1,250 | 1.648438 | 2 |

Everyone is personally responsible to the ecological damage to the Earth. Do you agree? (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)
Nowadays, when the question of whether every person is responsible to the environmental disasters has become a matter of heated debates, some people claim that it is government’s duty to support normal ecological condition. Still, others do not agree asserting all people should preserve the Earth. Cool!
Personally, I share the second opinion and, to my mind, it is impossible to save our planet without efforts of all people regardless OF (ещё можно irrespective of) their status and professions. First and foremost, even one person can do a lot for preventing the world from lack of resources by using bicycles instead of cars, turning off the light when it is not necessary, and using water for domestic chores wisely.
What is more, modern entrepreneurs can use solar energy and produce wholefood and ecological products which are less harmful for people’s health and environment.
However, opponents of this point of view consider that government is to blame for damage caused to wildlife as one person is unable to change the natural situation dramatically. According to this perspective, government must invest money in different ecological projects and create special organizations, which will control deforestation, toxic emissions, and save endangered species of animals.
Nevertheless, this argument does not sound reasonable enough due to the following logical assumption. Generally, individuals should be activists to be party to ecological organizations and donate money for charity as little sum of money from every person can become a good deal in total.
In conclusion, although opinions may differ, I am sure it is an obligation of all people to stop the environmental degradation. Personally, I try to buy eco-friendly products.

General Apnea of prematurity is a diagnosis of exclusion. Other causes of apnea (e.g., central nervous system disorders, primary lung disease, anemia, sepsis, metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular abnormalities, or obstructive apnea) should be ruled out or properly treated prior to initiation of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) . Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant and in cases of caffeine overdose, seizures have been reported. CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) should be used with caution in infants with seizure disorders. The duration of treatment of apnea of prematurity in the placebo-controlled trial was limited to 10 to 12 days. The safety and efficacy of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) for longer periods of treatment have not been established. Safety and efficacy of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) for use in the prophylactic treatment of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or prior to extubation in mechanically ventilated infants have also not been established. Cardiovascular Although no cases of cardiac toxicity were reported in the placebo-controlled trial, caffeine has been shown to increase heart rate, left ventricular output, and stroke volume in published studies. Therefore, CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) should be used with caution in infants with cardiovascular disease. Renal and Hepatic Systems CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) should be administered with caution in infants with impaired renal or hepatic function. Serum concentrations of caffeine should be monitored and dose administration of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) should be adjusted to avoid toxicity in this population. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Elimination, Special Populations). Information for Patients Parents/caregivers of patients receiving CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) Oral Solution should receive the following instructions:
- CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) does not contain any preservatives and each vial is for single use only. Any unused portion of the medication should be discarded.
- It is important that the dose of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) be measured accurately, i.e., with a 1cc or other appropriate syringe.
- Consult your physician if the baby continues to have apnea events; do not increase the dose of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) without medical consultation.
- Consult your physician if the baby begins to demonstrate signs of gastroin-testinal intolerance, such as abdominal distention, vomiting, or bloody stools, or seems lethargic.
- CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to its administration. Vials containing discolored solution or visible particulate matter should be discarded.
Laboratory Tests Prior to initiation of CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) , baseline serum levels of caffeine should be measured in infants previously treated with theophylline, since preterm infants metabolize theophylline to caffeine. Likewise, baseline serum levels of caffeine should be measured in infants born to mothers who consumed caffeine prior to delivery, since caffeine readily crosses the placenta. In the placebo-controlled clinical trial, caffeine levels ranged from 8 to 40 mg/L. A therapeutic plasma concentration range of caffeine could not be determined from the placebo-controlled clinical trial. Serious toxicity has been reported in the literature when serum caffeine levels exceed 50 mg/L. Serum concentrations of caffeine may need to be monitored periodically throughout treatment to avoid toxicity. In clinical studies reported in the literature, cases of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia have been observed. Therefore, serum glucose may need to be periodically monitored in infants receiving CAFCIT (caffeine citrate) . Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility In a 2-year study in Sprague-Dawley rats, caffeine (as caffeine base) administered in drinking water was not carcinogenic in male rats at doses up to 102 mg/kg or in female rats at doses up to 170 mg/kg (approximately 2 and 4 times, respectively, the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis). In an 18-month study in C57BL/6 mice, no evidence of tumorigenicity was seen at dietary doses up to 55 mg/kg (less than the max-imum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis). Caffeine (as caffeine base) increased the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) SCE/cell metaphase (exposure time dependent) in an in vivo mouse metaphase analysis. Caffeine also potentiated the genotoxicity of known mutagens and enhanced the micronuclei formation (5-fold) in folate-deficient mice. However, caffeine did not increase chromosomal aberrations in in vitro Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO) and human lymphocyte assays and was not mutagenic in an in vitro CHO/hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) gene mutation assay, except at cytotoxic concentrations. In addition, caffeine was not clastogenic in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. Caffeine (as caffeine base) administered to male rats at 50 mg/kg/day subcu-taneously (approximately equal to the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis) for four days prior to mating with untreated females, caused decreased male reproductive performance in addition to causing embryotoxicity. In addition, long-term exposure to high oral doses of caffeine (3.0 g over 7 weeks) was toxic to rat testes as manifested by spermatogenic cell degeneration. Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C Concern for the teratogenicity of caffeine is not relevant when administered to infants. In studies performed in adult animals, caffeine (as caffeine base) administered to pregnant mice as sustained release pellets at 50 mg/kg (less than the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis), during the period of organogenesis, caused a low incidence of cleft palate and exencephaly in the fetuses. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Last reviewed on RxList: 5/4/2009

Beneath the ocean’s surface, glaciers may be melting 10 to 100 times faster than previously believed, new research shows.
Until now, scientists had a limited understanding of what happens under the water at the point where land-based glaciers meet the sea. Using a combination of radar, sonar and time-lapse photography, a team of researchers has now provided the first detailed measurements of the underwater changes over time. Their findings suggest that the theories currently used to gauge glacier change are underestimating glaciers’ ice loss.
“The overall trend of glacier retreat around the world is due to both warming air and warming oceans,” said David Sutherland, an oceanographer at the University of Oregon and lead author of the new study, published July 25 in the journal Science.
“They’re getting eaten away on both ends,” he said.
The warming atmosphere melts glaciers from above, while ocean water can erode the ice along the glacier’s face. Researchers have been studying similar effects of ocean water beneath the ice shelves in Antarctica, which slow the flow of the glaciers on land behind them. Last year, a study there found that warming ocean waters are contributing to glacier changes that can increase the rate of ice flow and, subsequently, the rate of sea level rise.
The new study, conducted in Alaska, could help researchers better understand tidewater glaciers elsewhere, including in Greenland and Patagonia.
Over two years, a group of glaciologists, oceanographers and engineers measured melting of the LeConte Glacier in Southeast Alaska. Their study is the first to directly measure underwater melt rates of tidewater glaciers: Previously, scientists relied on estimates of how water and air temperature and ocean currents influence melting.
The researchers found that those theories oversimplify tidewater glacier melting patterns. For example, the theories assume that ice will melt more quickly in places where water is flowing faster. But that’s not always the case, the new findings show.
“The theory we’ve been relying on for these melt rates is wrong,” said Rebecca Jackson, an oceanographer at Rutgers University and co-author of the study. “We should be able to predict melt rates based on ocean conditions … [but] they’re not at all related in the way we expected.”
In addition to air and water temperature, ocean salinity, currents and the glacier’s shape can all play a role in influencing tidewater glacier melt.
Signs of Climate Change
Signs that global warming is influencing glacier melt are evident already. The overall retreat of glaciers is one example.
“If the climate is steady, you expect 90 percent [of glaciers] to be advancing at any time,” said Jason Amundson, a glaciologist at the University of Alaska and co-author of the study. “What we’re seeing now is the opposite.” Only a few tidewater glaciers are advancing; most are retreating, he said.
The tidewater glaciers, which form vertical cliffs in the ocean, lose ice through both melting and a process called calving, as massive chunks break off into the water.
Underwater melting can also intensify calving in the way that chipping away at a building’s base would encourage it to topple. “If you start taking away its foundation, it’s going to tip over,” Sutherland said.
Impact Goes Beyond Sea Level Rise
As fresh water from melting glaciers enters the ocean, it does more than increase sea level. “Plumes” of fast-moving runoff stir up nutrients locked deep in the water, which then feed phytoplankton and zooplankton near the surface, spurring population booms.
“Usually, it’s all about sea level rise,” Sutherland said. “That would be important if it was the only thing, but all of a sudden we have these ecosystem impacts as well, and that’s something we want to quantify.”
Changes in tidewater glaciers can have an impact on people living along the Alaskan coast, altering patterns in the ocean water that provides food and livelihood for many. Longer melt seasons mean more fresh water entering the ocean earlier in the year, Amundson explained. “Will that change things like salmon swimming up those streams?” he asked.
More Sensitive to Changes than Expected
As tidewater glaciers melt and contribute to sea level rise, the ability to predict their rate of melting is still developing. “One big open question is: What’s the role of the ocean in driving those changes?” Jackson said.
The new direct measurements are giving researchers new insights into that role. “Maybe glaciers are more sensitive to changes in temperature than we might have expected before,” Jackson said.
The study’s findings suggest that as the planet warms, sea level could rise faster than currently estimated.
“Even if we know how much the ocean was going to warm, the paper shows that we don’t have the ability to predict how that would translate into melt rate of the ice,” said Jonathan Kingslake, a researcher at Columbia University who models the flow of ice and water in glaciers and was not involved in the study.
Improving those sea level estimates is important for coastal communities to prepare for the effects of climate change, and the new findings are adding to the knowledge base for increasingly detailed analyses. Just a small increase in sea level can exacerbate the effects of storms, for example, Kingslake said. “It makes planning really difficult if you don’t have an accurate estimate,” he said.

Building a raised bed
Hi. I'm thinking of using the wood from a small garden shed I bought from B&Q (some time after 2004) to make a raised vegetable bed. I know I should be using materials which would be more suitable for a project like this but we're having to watch the pennies at the moment. My question today is - Is the wood from a shed likely to be treated with chemicals which makes this a bad idea? I can't get hold of anyone at B&Q to ask the question. Can anyone help please? Thanks. | <urn:uuid:9f78db69-53d2-4b0e-84e4-f2c6dd7ec120> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1038268/building-a-raised-bed | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.982303 | 117 | 2 | 2 |
SATURDAY, June 4, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When you're at a beach or pool, would you be able to identify someone who's drowning and take action to save them?
"Even the most experienced swimmers can be in danger if the weather is bad, currents are strong or a medical emergency occurs in the water," said Dr. Gillian Schmitz, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). "Most drowning accidents are preventable, but it only takes seconds for a tragedy to occur."
On average, 11 people die in accidental drownings each day in the United States, and drowning is one of the leading causes of death among 1- to 4-year-olds, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It can be difficult to determine whether someone is drowning, so ACEP outlined the signs:
Bobbing or floating in place.
Head tilted back with mouth open.
Head low in the water, with mouth at water level.
Trying to roll over onto the back.
Hyperventilating or gasping for breath.
Hair over forehead or eyes.
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus, or eyes closed.
If someone appears to be in trouble in the water, take immediate action. Get help from a lifeguard or call 911. Do not attempt to rescue a drowning person when you're also in the water unless you are trained to do so. Drowning people may panic and try to pull anyone nearby underwater with them, the ACEP explained.
Instead, extend or throw a floating object to the person. Once they are safely out of the water, tilt their head back, lift their chin and check for breath. Turn the person on their side to help them expel water.
If the person is not breathing, anyone trained should begin to perform hands-only CPR until first responders arrive.
"Learning to swim and becoming familiar with water safety are choices that can save a life," Schmitz said in an ACEP news release. "Simple steps to avoid danger can help keep everyone safe."
Keep the following steps in mind:
Always designate a responsible adult to supervise children in or near water.
Clear any loose toys from the pool area to reduce tripping hazards.
Don't use toys as flotation devices. Use life jackets for activities in or near lakes, rivers, or oceans, especially for children and weaker swimmers.
When swimming in natural bodies of water, be wary of hidden hazards such as strong currents, sharp rocks, or tangles of vegetation.
Always check the weather forecast before water activities.
Use the buddy system when swimming.
Don't drink alcohol before or during water activities or while supervising children.
People with medical conditions or those taking certain medications may require additional precautions.

Twitter disclosed more than 900 accounts originating from within China that deliberately attempted to promote disinformation in Hong Kong as activists engage in pro-democracy demonstrations in the region.
The company’s disclosure consists of 936 accounts originating from inside the communist country. Twitter said in a blog post Monday that it has “reliable evidence to support that this is a coordinated state-backed operation” — the accounts were attempting to sow discord.
Many of the accounts accessed Twitter using virtual private networks, or VPNs, which allows users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Twitter is blocked in China, so citizens must rely on alternative ways to gain access to the platform.
One account titled “Dream News” tweeted about the demonstrators: “We don’t want you radical people in Hong Kong. Just get out of here!” Another account claimed to support President Donald Trump and included a bio that read: “Conservative News From the USA and Abroad. #Catholic Defender of the Constitution of the United States.”
Twitter’s report comes amid protests Sunday where an estimated 1.7 million people marched through the streets of Hong Kong.
Demonstrations began in March to protest a now-suspended extradition bill — citizens are demanding the release of imprisoned protesters, inquiries into police conduct, the resignation of current Chief Executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam and other reforms.
Twitter first noticed the irregularities and eventually notified Facebook, which identified about a dozen pages, accounts and groups that were also tied to the operation. The Facebook pages were followed by about 15,000 accounts, the company said.
“Although the people behind this activity attempted to conceal their identities, our investigation found links to individuals associated with the Chinese government,” Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, wrote in a blog post Monday.
Twitter also announced that it would no longer accept advertising from “state-controlled news media entities” after reports popped up Monday showing the company promoting tweets from China’s largest state news agency that depict pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong as violent.
Twitter has not yet responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment about the nature of ad promotion. The company’s announcement coincided with the reports on the disinformation campaign Twitter discovered.

AFRICA: A BIOGRAPHY OF A CONTINENT.;;
By John Reader.
864 pages; £30.
To be published in America in April by Knopf
FORGET about Africa being an economic and political dwarf. John Reader reminds us that Africa is vast, the oldest continent on whose boundless plains Homo sapiens and several other man-like species first walked. It is also, according to Mr Reader, where man first used tools, first hunted, farmed, used iron and, perhaps, first became civilised.
Do not be daunted by the 800-plus pages. He has packaged them—and more than 3,000 years of history—into neat, bite-size, readable chapters with clear summaries so you can dip into specific subjects or read it through, skipping wherever you want to, without losing the thread of the story. The thematic matt black-and-white photographs at the beginning of each chapter are stunning and Mr Reader's own.
He begins the biography of Africa with the cataclysmic shifts of the cratons, the plates of the earth's crust, millions of years ago and ends with the cataclysmic political shifts of 1994, the election of Nelson Mandela and the end of apartheid in South Africa, and, in the same week, the genocide in Rwanda. Africa is like that: heaven and hell exist side by side and their colours are rarely muted. The story in-between is of the development of man and his migration from Africa, of the civilisations of Egypt and Ethiopia and the royal cities of West Africa, of slavery and colonialism and, finally, of the emergence of new states designed by the imperialist powers.
Much of Africa's history is explained by its fragile soils and erratic weather. They make for conservative social and political systems. “The communities which endured were those that directed available energies primarily towards minimising the risk of failure, not maximising returns,” says Mr Reader. This created societies designed for survival, not development; the qualities needed for survival are the opposite of those needed for developing, ie, making experiments and taking risks. Some societies were wealthy, but accumulating wealth was next to impossible; most people bartered and there were few traders.
Everybody had to keep moving. Africans were nomads or pastoralists or farmers constantly shifting as land became exhausted. This is why experience of the past was all-important and why gerontocracy became, one way or another, Africa's political system. Its societies were organised in age-sets in which the oldest ruled. They still do: few of Africa's leaders are under 60, well above the average life expectancy. (In Kenya the “young Turks” are all in their mid-50s.)
Slavery is also put in an African context. It did not begin with marauding white men plundering the people from the coasts of West Africa; it was indigenous. In a chapter called “Merrie Africa”, Mr Reader debunks the myth that before the arrival of outsiders Africa was a pastoral paradise. But he also describes well the gruesome horrors of the middle passage—horrors which have left many Africans and black people everywhere with more than a residue of suspicion that outsiders wish to dominate and exploit them.
In this and in other aspects of African history, his account combines the best of academic research with a sense of Africa which is vivid and understandable—an Africa to which all mankind is related.

The Right Person For The Job
A young guy who was about the size of Bruno Mars came to my seminar once, and we were chatting during a break. I asked him how long he had been in the business. It’s good to see young people getting involved.
“I’ve been at it for 20 years,” he said.
“Really? How old are you?” I asked
“Twenty-seven,” he replied.
“You work for your dad?”
“Yeah. He owns a small heating company. We do commercial service only. He brought me along on some jobs when I was a kid because I was small enough to fit inside the boilers. He’d stuff me in there with tools and tell me to start cleaning.”
“Did the police know about this?”
“How about your mom?”
“Well, sort of.”
“She OK with all that?”
“Yeah, she’s cool.”
That got me thinking about other contractors I’ve met. Some employ a big guy to move the iron and steel around, and a small guy to crawl into spaces only small guys can get into. You know Bruno Mars for this and the late Bruno Sammartino (professional wrestling great) for that. One size doesn’t fit all, right?
Or does it?
I thought about this for a while and couldn’t decide, so I asked around. Does size matter in this business? What about guys who work alone? Where does that leave them? Can you be a big guy on this task and a small guy on that other task? Hmm.
One contractor buddy said: “35 years ago, before I got into heating, I was working as an electrician. I had a customer call me and ask me about wiring a bathroom exhaust fan. He had already installed the fan and just needed it wired. He lived in the neighborhood, so I told him I’d be happy to do the job. Then he asked me how big I was. I asked him what difference that made, knowing that I’m bigger than most, and he told me I would have to climb into his attic through a smallish opening and then make my way through a tight space all the way back to the eves way over there. I did it, but I’m still not sure how I did it.”
Another contractor said: “I hired a guy named Lenny. The other guys called him Mongo. He could carry full sticks of 4-inch Schedule-40 pipe across the building and put it all up by himself. He wasn’t very bright, but he was a really nice guy and always eager to learn and to help. He turned out to be a great employee and a heck of a welder. There would be times when we’d have a heavy lift that would call for either four guys or a forklift. I walked off one time to get some more help on one of those jobs, but while I was gone, Lenny got tired of waiting, so he just did it all himself. I had to lay him off at one point because we didn’t have enough work, but I often wish I hadn’t done that.”
A friend from Pennsylvania said: “I know this old Italian stonemason who won’t hire tall guys as laborers. I asked him why, and he said they’re all ‘long backs’ and that if they try to lift stones all day, they’re going to complain about how much their backs hurt.
“Thinking about that guy reminds me of when I was in construction. Everybody wanted to hire this particular guy for their crew. That guy could carry five sheets of 3/4-inch CDX plywood at a time, and he could do that all day long. That’s over 300 pounds per trip!”
Stay home, Bruno Mars. This is a job for Bruno Sammartino.
A contractor from Alaska said: “My uncle wouldn’t hire anyone who went to college. He said they couldn’t be trained. They already knew it all. My father-in-law, on the other hand, hired his helper because the guy was small. My father-in-law tipped the scales at about 260 pounds, so whenever he had a job that was tight, he would send in the apprentice. With some of the places I’ve had to fold myself into, I often wonder what my father-in-law did before he found that little guy.”
Another friend from California said: “I used to hire guys who were really smart because I thought that would help get the work done. It turned out that their big brains just got in the way of the work. I learned the best people are the ones who really care, no matter what size they are. Give me a guy with a big heart every time.”
But what about speed? Does size make a difference when it comes to speed? I once stood inside a big tent in a hotel parking lot in New Jersey and judged an apprentice competition. Ten apprentices had the whole day to pipe a hot-water boiler. May the best man win.
A medium-sized young fella caught my attention because he began by fully reading the installation instructions that came with the boiler. He was the only guy in the tent that did that. And then he piped everything perfectly. His work was art.
“I think he’s gonna win,” I whispered to one of the other judges, a local contractor.
“He’s very good,” the guy said, “but he could never work for me.”
I often wonder where that apprentice wound up. I like to think he owns a company somewhere.
The man who told me this next story worked in the power plant side of the business. Those folks have to do non-destructive testing and eddy-current testing of condenser and feed-water heater tubes. They work on very big stuff.
“These units can have as many as 12,000 tubes in each heat exchanger,” he said. “We have to identify any degraded tubes before they fail. We have to understand what sort of degradation we have, and then we have to preventatively plug those tubes to prevent leaks and plant shutdowns. We also have to be able to schedule a replacement unit, which can take more than a year to get. Everything is custom-made for the specific application.
“We worked with this guy, Tony. He was not the brightest person around, but he could follow directions, and keep count of exactly where he was in a row of tubes. He had really good quality-assurance skills and two work speeds. The first was ‘slow.’ The second was ‘incredibly slow.’ The latter arrived as soon as you ticked off Tony.”
I asked how big Tony was.
“Less than 5 feet tall and skinny. Many feed-water heaters have 16-inch manways, and the headers are rather constrained, even if they have larger manways. Tony’s slow work speed was about twice as fast in a feed-water heater than the speed of normal-sized guys. They’d be struggling to twist and turn and maneuver inside the heater head. The time Tony lost on a condenser job or a heat-exchanger with an open head, he more than made up for with the time he gained inside the feed-water heaters. He was permanently employable as long as he wanted to work, and with any of the major vendors. They all knew about him.
“The biggest mistake any of the plant personnel could make, though, was to remark about his speed or lack of intellect. That moved Tony into ‘incredibly slow’ mode, which was not a good thing since almost all the contracts are on a T&M basis. It also affected their outage schedule.”
So does speed matter? You tell me.
A New York City contractor said: “My father is not a big guy, but when he was working, he was the King of Leverage, fashioning straps and rollers of all kinds. He would get us to move all kinds of equipment that was, by all accounts, too large for my dad, my brother and me to handle together. He retired at 72, having worked from the time he was 13. He learned how to get a lot of things done by hand that we now do with machinery. He always told us that if you ask a lazy man, he’ll tell you an easy way to get it done. He was anything but lazy. He was a lifelong tradesman.”
So I suppose you can be a big guy and a little guy on the same job, even if you work by yourself. All it takes is a brain and a big heart. | <urn:uuid:70504011-e0b2-420d-b907-bde6568d091a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://heatinghelp.com/blog/the-right-person-for-the-job/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.985235 | 1,934 | 1.601563 | 2 |
Kindness is Contagious
Published Tuesday, March 8, 2022
By Lily Colquhoun, Prevention and Screening Clinical Services
A kind word can go a long way. It’s something that we should always keep in mind. After all, giving kindness to those who need it most can benefit everyone.
Performing acts of kindness is a great way to show our appreciation for others. Additionally, studies have shown that engaging in acts of kindness to others can have direct impacts on our own health. It can increase health benefits while decreasing harmful characteristics. A simple act of kindness could possibly be the easiest way to boost your health.
Did you know that acts of kindness can release beneficial hormones into our bodies? In fact, oxytocin, the love hormone, and serotonin, a feel-good chemical can be increased. These hormones boost our self-esteem, optimism, calm us down and make us happy.
Engaging in acts of kindness can also have an impact on our overall happiness. When we are kind to other people, our brain’s pleasure and reward centres light up as if we were the recipient of the act of kindness. This phenomenon is commonly called a “helper’s high”.
Being kind to others can also impact physical health. When we engage in acts of kindness, we produce endorphins, the brain’s natural pain killer. Additionally, being kind can reduce blood pressure and stress hormones, as well as decrease feelings of anxiety and depression.
Last month at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Prevention and Screening Clinical Services took part in Random Act of Kindness Day by setting up a kindness booth for staff. At the booth, staff were able to access kindness resources, activities, and recipes and were encouraged to pay the kindness forward. Staff were able to take a completed affirmation heart or create a heart of their own with a customized kind message to gift to someone in need.
Kindness is contagious. The positive effects of kindness are experienced by everyone who witnesses them, which causes their mood to improve and makes them likely to pay it forward.
Here are some ways that you can show your appreciation for others
- Deliver a healthy meal
- Shovel a driveway
- Leave a thank you note
- Pay for the person behind you in line

Short for the brass family, brass refers to the trumpet/cornet, horn, trombone, euphonium/baritone, and tuba sections of the band. Nearly all of the main characters of Hibike! Euphonium play brass instruments.
Many people wrongly assume that the saxophone is also a brass instrument because of its color, but the saxophone's use of a single reed mouthpiece makes it a woodwind instrument.
A list of the different types of brass instruments can be found here.

Bible Study Plan 2019
Today we read:
-Food for thought day 38-
• Matthew 20:25-28
• Matthew 6:31-33
When we look at the world today, everybody is fighting to rule over somebody. As a matter of fact many think that when you lord over people, that makes you the greatest.
In Christianity the greatest people are a direct opposite to the world’s standards. Jesus Christ linked great people to servanthood and not receiving service.
This is what He said: “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself [with haughtiness and empty pride] shall be humbled (brought low), and whoever humbles himself [whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly] shall be raised to honor.”
Jesus Christ did not come on earth to be served, but He came to serve. That means that His priority was not Himself but others. He came to meet the needs of humanity.
The Word of God says: “Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave– Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [the price paid to set them free].”
The reason why many find it difficult to serve is because of selfishness. They focus more on their personal challenges and what they want to achieve instead of looking after the best and good of others.
As a matter of fact when we focus in helping others stand on their feet, God in His turn will see to it that our own needs are met.
For this reason the Word of God says: “Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.”
True joy stems from seeing others reach their goals by using the gift God has given us to help them.
Today choose to be great by solving a problem for someone in need. When we serve others, God makes sure He meets the needs in our lives by causing someone else to serve us based on what we need.
Look ahead and refuse to be short sighted.
Many blessings in Jesus’ Name.

Matthew 7:1-5 Study By
Lorin L Cranford cranfordville.com
7.1 Μὴ κρίνετε, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· 2 ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίματι κρίνετε κριθήσεσθε, καὶ ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν. 3 τί δὲ βλέπεις τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, τὴν δὲ ἐν τῷ σῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δοκὸν οὐ κατανοεῖς; 4 ἢ πῶς ἐρεῖς τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου· Ἄφες ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ δοκὸς ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ; 5 ὑποκριτά, ἔκβαλε πρῶτον ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σοῦ τὴν δοκόν, καὶ τότε διαβλέψεις ἐκβαλεῖν τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.
1 Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2 For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3 Why do you see the speck in your neigh- bor’s eye, but do not no- tice the log in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your neighbor, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye.
1 Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. 2 For others will treat you as you treat them. What- ever measure you use in judging others, it will be used to measure how you are judged. 3 And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of say- ing, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log from your own eye; then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
La Biblia de las Américas
1 No juzguéis para que no seáis juzgados. 2 Porque con el juicio con que juzguéis, seréis juzgados; y con la me- dida con que midáis, se os medirá. 3 ¿Y por qué miras la mota que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no te das cuenta de la viga que está en tu propio ojo? 4 ¿O cómo puedes decir a tu hermano: “Déjame sacarte la mota del ojo”, cuando la viga está en tu ojo? 5 ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero la viga de tu ojo, y entonces verás con clari- dad para sacar la mota del ojo de tu hermano.
The Outline of the Text:1 While several other verses in the Sermon are well known and often quoted, Matthew 7:1 is perhaps the most often ‘misquoted’ verse in the entire sermon. Non-Christians living in deep immorality know this verse and quote it often to others in order to justify their lifestyle.2 Even many Christians do not understand what Jesus was talking about, and so make the same mistakes in using the saying of Jesus that their pagan neighbors do. This makes it all the more important for us to look closely at Jesus’ words so that we can understanding them correctly. On the other hand, western society engages in evaluation of other persons at virtually every level of society. We like this person, but don’t like that person. What‘s the difference? We have ‘judged both of them’ with different judgments! Teachers give exams to students, and the students either pass or fail on the basis of the ‘judgment.‘ Supervisors at work give performance evaluations of their workers, and salary raises and promotions depend on the ‘judgment’ of these evaluations. Forming opinions3 about other individuals and
1Serious study of the biblical text must look at the ‘then’ meaning, i.e., the historical meaning, and the ‘now’ meaning, i.e., the con- temporary application, of the scripture text. In considering the historical meaning, both elements of literary design and historical aspects must be considered. In each study we will attempt a summary overview of these procedures in the interpretation of the scripture text.
2Just a Google Search of the phrase “Judge not lest ye be judged” generated over 184,000 hits. A high percentage of these web sites are non-religious. This concept is often used in the homosexual world to justify its immoral lifestyle, as well as organizations of profes- sional prostitutes.
3“An opinion is a subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and may be the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than an-

then expressing those views stands as a risky endeavor among humans in much of western society. Particularly if the opinions are negative, then the expression of them takes on the nature of criticism.4 Some have read this text In Matthew superficially and then concluded that Jesus completely forbids such actions. But this is far from the truth as the exegesis below will demonstrate, and elsewhere in the New Testament not only does Jesus himself engage in severe criticism but He demands as much from His disciples. Even in the Sermon do we find such. Evaluation of the ideas, attitudes, words and actions of other people is fundamental to most cultures in our world.5 This is particularly true in the educational world. Extensive systems of grading students are built off this presupposition that evaluation is essential to learning and skill development. Since the 1700s, the major ways of studying the Bible across the theological spectrum6 fall under the umbrella label of ‘critical studies.’7 How did the ancient world view forming opinions of others? Especially, how did they respond to negative criticism leveled at others? And how does that way of thinking differ from modern western approaches? Such an inquiry will help set the background for our study. Ancient Greek philosophy8 tried to distinguish between knowledge and opinion.9 To be sure, the determination of ‘knowledge’ in the ancient world differed radically from modern western culture.10 Plato saw two levels of reality: the visible and the invisible. This way of thinking would find little acceptance in the modern world, either in technical circles or at the popular level. Only the
other by analyzing the supporting arguments.” [“Opinion,” Wikipedia online]
4“Criticism is the judgment (using analysis and evaluation) of the merits and faults of the actions or work of another individual. Criticism can mean merely to evaluate without necessarily finding fault; however, usually the word implies the expression of disap- proval.” [“Criticism,” Wikipedia online]
5Modern critical theory stands as one of the foundations of western culture and has played a major role in the advancement of scientific knowledge in most every field of research. For details, see “Critical Theory,” Wikipedia online. Modern critical thinking has much of its foundation in the work of Immanuel Kant who in 1781 published his Kritik der reinen Vernunft (Eng. title: Critique of Pure Reason).

7Modern biblical critical studies have their origin in the literary criticism of the nineteenth century. For details, see “Literary theory,” Wikipedia online.
8”Ancient philosophy is the philosophy of the Graeco-Roman world from the 6th century [circa 585] BCE to the 4th century CE. It is usually divided into three periods: the pre-Socratic period, the periods of Plato and Aristotle, and the post-Aristotelian (or Hellenistic) period. Sometimes a fourth period is added that includes the Christian philosophers as well as Neo-Platonist ones (some of whom also called themselves ‘Philalethians.’) The most important of the ancient philosophers (in terms of subsequent influence) are Plato and Ar- istotle. “The main subjects of ancient philosophy are: understanding the fundamental causes and principles of the universe; explaining it in an economical and uniform way; the epistemological problem of reconciling the diversity and change of the natural universe, with the possibility of obtaining fixed and certain knowledge about it; questions about things which cannot be perceived by the senses, such as numbers, elements, universals, and gods; the analysis of patterns of reasoning and argument; the nature of the good life and the impor- tance of understanding and knowledge in order to pursue it; the explication of the concept of justice, and its relation to various political systems. “In this period the crucial features of the philosophical method were established: a critical approach to received or established views, and the appeal to reason and argumentation.” [“Philosophy,” Wikipedia online]

As summer departs, the ripening season begins.
Summer is winding down, while it may still be hot, the days are getting shorter. Signs of the season’s change are slowly becoming visible. The natural world will take the next few months to prepare for the ultimate season, winter. Perhaps the biggest change is the ripening of fruit. This capsule which surrounds the seed(s) of a plant is specific to flowering plants. In many cases it is called fruit, but really it has numerous forms, each one attributing to the plant’s specific evolution.
Oak and maple trees, hollies, tulips, and onions are all types of flowering plants. In contrast, a pine tree is not a flowering plant, and it does not form a protective capsule around its seed. In September many of the summer flowering plants have finished flowering and are now forming their protective seed capsule. Acorns start dropping, squashes are forming, maple tree helicopters start twirling down to the ground, and black walnuts fall with a loud thud.
One particular plant that is found throughout the natural areas of the Greater Philadelphia area is spicebush (Lindera benzoin). All summer long the spicebush remains quiet with its simple oval green leaves and tiny yellow flowers. Once the season starts to change, it bursts with bright red berries followed by golden yellow leaves.
The wooded paths throughout Awbury Arboretum are lined with spicebush, creating an enchanting stroll. Adding to the experience, the berries on spicebush are highly valued by the local birds. This plant has evolved with the local birds and developed an ideal capsule to protect the seed. The birds gobble up the berries as quickly as they ripen, and this consumption aids the seed’s journey to becoming a plant. Visit the Arboretum on either the Farm side or Historic Landscape to see these seasonal changes, whether in fruit people like to eat or in ones especially enjoyed by the birds.

Hanging a photography or hiking bag underneath will often indicate the bag doesn’t get to the floor and can be inclined to movement, which can incorporate shake or disrupt the composition. A bungee cord, on the other hand, enables the bag to rest on the floor, making certain that the tripod is anchored down and remains stable.
#2. Sea Legs
When shooting in water, Denney endorses extending the base portion of the tripod legs to be submerged, not the thicker prime leg segments. This guarantees the tripod joints avoid water and sand, which additional extends the lifetime of the tripod and causes less challenges when it comes to cleaning it and getting rid of any grit that may possibly get caught in the joints.
#3. Normally Polarize
Whilst a polarizing filter might historically be only utilized for unique scenarios, these as when shooting relocating water to clear away reflections, it is a fantastic idea to take a look at out what the filter may possibly do for distinct types of scenes, as well. Denney now makes use of a polarizing filter on just about every shoot, even if it is just to look at how it influences the scene and regardless of whether it can gain the closing consequence, these as by removing light reflections from dry leaves and building a far more vivid image.
#4. Shower Cap
To protect the camera from rain, a straightforward shower cap can be made use of. It is an reasonably priced and house-conserving addition to the photographer’s bag and it can help in predicaments the place the camera needs to be swiftly guarded from rain hurt.
#5. Vertical Telephoto Panorama
The compression result that a extensive lens produces for a composition can be visually desirable for landscapes, while at the expense of the discipline of view which becomes far more confined. To fight that issue, Denney suggests putting the digicam in a vertical orientation and creating a sweeping panorama, from still left to suitable, which even now lets preserving the compressed seem but adds a wider industry of look at in the composition.
#6. Dragging the Shutter
If a condition phone calls for generating movement blur in the graphic, this kind of as in the h2o or in the sky, and the photographer has no entry to a neutral density (ND) filter to aid achieve that, ISO can be lowered, while halting down the aperture. Accomplishing so allows the possibility to drag or gradual down the shutter to insert the motion blur to the scene.
#7. Prevent Down Sunstar
To generate a pleasing-hunting sunstar, for illustration, showing through the branches or leaves in the forest, it basically necessitates stopping down the aperture, these as, to f/32. Based on the form of lens, the generated sunstar will change in look.
#8. Hand Organizer
To make organizing panorama photos simpler, Denney simply can take a shot of his hand at the get started and at the conclude of each and every panorama to make it effortless to spot the commence and end of every sequence when importing and enhancing the pictures. The very same solution can be used for focus stacking to keep away from losing time throughout the article-processing phase and owning to zoom into each and every picture to see which picture goes with every single established.
Check out Denney’s 16-.5-moment movie over for a nearer look at how each and every of these hacks is effective. | <urn:uuid:e78cb394-3126-4a07-89bd-aafee7ee2c21> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://secondhomecusco.com/8-helpful-digicam-hacks-for-landscape-images/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.940084 | 875 | 1.679688 | 2 |

There’s also bodily Strategies Control groups for all these various well-designed groupings: product sales, advertising and generation after-sales support and service.
One of many reasons logistics functions, then, is to effectively provide items to buyers and sustain higher degrees of customer satisfaction. It is also essential in order that goods are provided in time, in the needed transport night out, plus the correct the labels. If one of those parts of thriving planning managing is ineffective, goods would possibly not achieve their spots by the due date or may very well be provided from the inappropriate range or wrapping.
An additional crucial purpose that these Strategic planning Administration groups participate in necessitates transportation of goods from other preliminary sources with their destinations. Now and again, this travel may include path transport or flights. But in many cases, the travelling does not involve almost any function, and therefore the submission facilities should have the capacity to provide a selection of alternatives to the clientele in an effort to give to them the service that they need. And in individuals cases when submitting focuses can not provide these choices, an arriving planning managing workforce should really let them have an index of selections which can be used in their don’t have.
Distribution centers also are one more space wherein Statigic planning Supervision squads should succeed. When merchandise is moved by using a supply core, the procedure consists of a lot of skill involving the shipping and delivery team, the receiving team, the warehouse, plus the transfer facility on its own. Occasionally, the supply centers their selves carry out an expert, in which case the Scheduling details Control group would produce handling the pass of materials throughout the distribution archipelago. A few cases, however, the submitting facilities on their own shall do this purpose, in which particular case the Strategies Administration workforce would also get involved in choosing the cargo of goods from your supply facility to your client.

Somebody who is inbound vehicles firm fails to get results the purchased coal for the location, next the overall shipping program will likely be damaged, like price the unprocessed trash would essentially promote for, by way of example. He’ll almost certainly merely say to the client that he or she has received a reduced product or service and that he won’t work with that corporation.
In a nutshell, the Scheduling details Managing team is the central aspect of any prosperous supply chain, if the purchaser is provided with things that aren’t around his requirements or which are not up to his liking. In addition, they be certain that the procedures relating to the businesses will not fail jointly, nevertheless not only do they be sure that a variety of aspects of the provision chains function adequately.

Over time, your teeth can start to show signs of natural wear and tear. These include staining, gaps, chips, cracks, and misalignments. Have you become self-conscious about your smile because of any of these cosmetic concerns? Maybe it's about time you consider getting dental veneers, which are cosmetic devices that can improve the appearance of your teeth.

Marketing Buzzword Dictionary
Buzzwords, love them or hate them, they are frequently used in the marketing world.
Digital Radish has put together an A – W (sorry, XYZ didn’t make the cut!) of key buzzword definitions and examples to demystify the jargon.
A – Always On
With so many communication channels open to us, and a continual connection to them thanks to technology, most of us are living in an ‘always on’ world. Digital Marketers are taking advantage of this, especially through social media.
e.g. You’ve just climbed into bed, but aren’t quite ready to go to sleep yet and decide to check your social media. You see a hashtag promoting a link to a sale and click on it. One things leads to another and you’ve done some late night purchasing before you go sleep.
B – Big Data
Buzzwords are generally a trend, but big data has been around for years. In fact, analyst Doug Laney first coined the term back in 2001 as information assets which are high in the ‘three Vs’: volume, velocity and variety. In more general terms, it is a data set that is so large it needs complex processing to analyse it.
e.g. Netflix uses big data on its viewers to develop new television series. The award-winning House of Cards series was developed because analytics on its millions of viewers showed that they enjoyed films by David Fincher and films starring Kevin Spacey.
C – Clickable
In the literal sense of the word, a segment of text or an image is clickable if it has a hyperlink that you can click on to take you to another page. However, in marketing terms, something is clickable if it makes you want to click it, as with digital marketing the goal is to get potential customers to click through to your content.
e.g. Adding a button saying ‘Download your free report’ to your email may be more clickable than simply hyperlinking the text.
D – Deep Linking
If you click on a link that takes you to a specific page within another website, rather than the homepage, you have just clicked on a deep link – a page deeper within the website.
e.g. Clicking on this link which refers to B2B Marketing awards shortlist will take you to the awards page of the website, not just the B2B Marketing homepage.
E – Emojification
Emojis have entered mainstream culture, evolving from faces made of colons and brackets to little yellow faces with a range of emotions, not to mention food and drinks, animals, gestures and places. Brands are now using emojis when they want to be fun and expressive, as highlighted by Digiday in ‘The emojification of brand advertising’.
e.g. This blog is great
F – Freemium
Users are permitted to use a limited version of a product for free, which entices them to pay to upgrade to an account with premium features. This pricing model has become popular with software.
e.g. Content curation tool Scoop.it offers a free version with one personalised hub topic and 10 scoops a day, but you can upgrade to a pro version for £7 a month with 5 persionalised hub topic, unlimited scoops and analytics, or a business version for £43 a month with 15 personalised hub topics, unlimited scoops and analytics.
G – Growth Hacking
The use of using low cost, high impact, new-wave internet marketing strategies to grow a start up (usually technology) company e.g. social media, email and viral marketing. Sean Ellis first coined the term in 2010 when he said, “A growth hacker is a person whose true North is growth,” but like the phenomenon itself has grown into its own buzzword powerhouse.
e.g. Spotify grew from a humble start up to the worlds’ most popular music streaming service thanks to growth hacking. Its viral advertising techniques of getting users to broadcasting their Spotify plays to their friends on Facebook is a great example of growth hacking.
H – H2H
As so many processes become automated by technology, people now want to have a personliased interaction: human to human. More marketers are making an effort to tap into human nature and understand buyer personas to target their prospects in a friendlier, more personalised manner. This may be reaching out to people offline, using humour to be more personable or making them feel like an individual rather than just a face in the crowd.
e.g. Chevrolet injected some offbeat humour into their new advertising campaigns. Business 2 Community highlights that this was done with the intention that “showing comedic imperfection… shows that we’re all human and makes mistakes.”
I – Internet of Everything
In our technologically connected world, we are moving towards an Internet of Everything – a state where all things will be connected to share data by being fitted with electronics to communicate with other devices (an upgrade from the Internet of Things). According to Verizon, there are now over a billion connected smart devices and machines in the world.
e.g. Wearable fitness devices like FitBit track metrics like the wearer’s heart rate, steps taken and calories burnt and send data to a cloud or device to record and analyse.
J – Jacking
Marketers love jumping on or jacking trends. News-jacking is where marketers cover a piece of breaking news, but put a marketing spin on it. Meme-jacking has become popular on social media as brands look to build a funny element into their marketing.
(Image from Pamela Vaughn, Hubspot)
Newsjacking: During the London Tube Strikes, Powwownow struck up a campaign for its Conference Calling system. Emails were sent out with offers and it used the hashtag #PWNSmartSwap to get people to share where it were swapping their office for on the day of the strike.
K – Keep reading…
Sorry nothing for K!
L – Lead nurturing
Now an important part of marketing, lead nurturing is building relationships with potential prospects who may not be ready to talk to your sales department or buy into your product. It’s developing potential leads into sales-qualified leads. This will be through methods such as email newsletters and social media.
e.g. Keeping an active social media account that keeps both followers and the wider social network aware of what is going on with your business.
M – Millennials
The generation born between 1980 and 2000, also known as Generation Y. These are people who grew up with technology and inherently use it as part of their everyday lives.
e.g. According to Millennial Marketing, Millennial make up 21% of consumer discretionary purchases, so are a prime target group for marketers.
N – Native advertising
This is essentially sponsored content that fits in with the form of the website. When appearing in the form of a written article, they are sometimes referred to as advertorials. Native advertising in social media now appears in newsfeeds in the form of posts, but always with a disclaimer to say that it is sponsored/promoted content in adherence with UK advertising law.
e.g. Buzzfeed has a whole host of native advertising that fits in well with its listicle style of content. Articles include ‘21 life hacks you didn’t realise you could do with Google’ by Google, ‘British views you should go and see right now’ by Toyota Aygo and ‘14 struggles every adventurous person can relate to’ by Captain Morgan.
O – Owned Media
Put simply, it is media owned by your company that you have complete control over. This could be your website, social media, blog or microsites. You can help your marketing efforts by having coherent and interesting content as part of your owned media.
P – Permission Marketing
Sending relevant marketing messages to people who (in Seth Godin’s words) “actually want to get them.” Godin coined the term in his book ‘Permission Marketing’.
e.g. People who subscribe to an email newsletter are giving you permission to market to them.
Q – Quick…
Keep moving to the next entry…
R – Remarketing
Remarketing is online adverts that appear on users’ web browsers after they’ve been on your website. This is an effective way of targeting people who browse but don’t convert, as seeing the adverts while they’re browsing online on other sites will remind them of the content they were just looking at.
e.g. Google offers this as a service with AdWords.
S – Smarketing
Sales + Marketing = Smarketing. The two departments don’t always work well side by side, despite aiming for the same end goal. Social Media Today defines it as when the two departments set up closed loop reporting, implement a service level agreement and use data to inform their strategy.
e.g. The Outsourced Accountant cites a study by The Aberdeen Group in 2010, which showed that companies with strong alignment of sales and marketing led an annual revenue growth of up to 20%.
T – Transparency
By having some transparency about your business, you can gain trust and loyalty from your customers. With so much information available today, it’s sometimes better to be transparent than look like you’re hiding something.
e.g. Neil Patel has cited Groove in his blog as an excellent example of transparency in marketing. The company reveals its revenue every month, but to find out the information, you have to subscribe to its blog, which in turn generates more traffic for Groove.
U – User-centric
With so much information and different campaigns battling for your attention, it makes sense to target the user. Companies need to do something that appeals directly to the user that they are targeting with their marketing campaign.
e.g. Exercise clothing company Sweaty Betty runs yoga classes in-store, so participants will look at the products around the store while taking part in the class and be tempted into purchase.
V – Viewability
Viewability refers to whether an advert was seen by anyone once it was published. Infectious Media reported that 54% of all digital advertising isn’t seen due to factors including users not scrolling, slow loading ad blockers and tab switching.
e.g. Eye tracking software can be used to determine how viewable an advert is. For example, a banner ad at the very top of a page may be overlooked because users automatically look to the main content on the page.
W – WYSIWYG
WYSIWYG editors interpret HTML into ‘What You See Is What You Get’ on web content building platforms and programmes. This allows people that aren’t experts in coding to still building web content by using drag and drop and other basic functions.
e.g. WordPress uses a great WYSIWYG editor to help people build their own websites.

MICO’s check valve assembly for full-power brake systems reduces the number of system components by supplying fluid for two separate accumulator circuits at once.
The assembly is useful for full power hydraulic brake systems that must store energy in two separate accumulator units. It features a high flow capacity up to 11 gallons per minute and a maximum operating pressure of 3,625 psi.
The compact manifold assembly includes a check valve and an inverted shuttle valve. The inverted shuttle valve isolates the higher pressure of the two circuits and directs the lower pressure to the switch port. A check valve prevents pressure at the switch port from leaking back into the inlet port.
By combining multiple components into a single housing, the check valve assembly reduces the number of potential leak points. The assembly’s design limits check valve leakage to a maximum of .25 cubic centimeters per minute at 3,500 psi.
The check valve assembly can be used in split systems with a pressure-compensated pump and electrohydraulic accumulator charging controlled by a pressure transducer at the unit’s switch port.
For more information on the check valve assembly, visit the new product section of MICO’s website. | <urn:uuid:7f5104ef-0a28-44dc-b00d-607418f853c6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.equipmentworld.com/home/article/14946774/mico-check-valve-assembly-supplies-fluid-to-two-separate-circuits | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.848248 | 247 | 1.734375 | 2 |
Aggravating Factors and Special Circumstances Explained by DFW Defense Attorney
Texas law differs from federal law and other state laws in that it does not distinguish different degrees of murder. Instead, there are four kinds of criminal homicide in Texas: capital murder, murder, manslaughter, and criminally negligent homicide.
In this article, we explain the differences between murder and capital murder in Texas. As criminal defense lawyers in Dallas, we have handled hundreds of violent crimes cases at Broden & Mickelsen and achieved favorable results for our clients.
Murder in Texas Legal Definition
According to the Texas Penal Code, there are three main circumstances that constitute murder in the state of Texas. To have committed a murder, an individual must have done one of three things:
- Intentionally or knowingly caused the death of another individual.
- Committed an act clearly dangerous to human life with the intent to cause serious bodily injury, leading to the death of another individual.
- Committed an act clearly dangerous to human life while committing or attempting to commit a felony, or during the immediate flight from the crime or attempted crime, leading to the death of another individual.
Murder is a first-degree felony in Texas, which means that those convicted of murder will receive a sentence of five to ninety-nine years in prison.
What is the Difference Between Murder and Capital Murder in Texas?
Capital murder in Texas occurs when a murder case involves one or more of the aggravating factors outlined in the Texas Penal Code. These aggravating factors are explained below.
Murdering Specific Victims
Murdering specific victims will always elevate a murder charge to a capital murder charge. These include:
- Peace officers and firemen provided that they are acting in the lawful discharge of their official duties and that the perpetrator knows the victim is a peace officer or fireman.
- Employees of a penal institution in which the perpetrator is legally detained.
- Children under the age of ten.
- Children between ten and fifteen years old.
A judge or justice (of the supreme court, the court of criminal appeals, a court of appeals, a district court, a criminal district court, a constitutional county court, a statutory county court, a justice court, or a municipal court), if the murder is committed in retaliation for the victim’s status or service as a judge or justice.
Committing a Murder While Incarcerated
A murder may be elevated to capital murder if committed while incarcerated under certain circumstances, including:
- A murder that was committed while escaping or attempting to escape from a penal institution.
- A murder that was committed in a penal institution with the goal of establishing or maintaining a profit.
- A murder that was committed by an individual in a penal institution who is serving a sentence for murder, capital murder, or while serving a life sentence or a sentence of 99 years.
Committing a Murder During Other Crimes
The other circumstances that elevate a murder charge to a capital murder charge involve the murder being committed in combination with other criminal offenses:
- A murder that was intentionally committed while the perpetrator was committing or attempting to commit certain crimes, including kidnapping, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation, or a terroristic threat.
- A murder that was committed for remuneration (monetary payment) or the promise of remuneration. In this case, both the person who was hired to commit the murder and the person who hired the murderer can be charged with capital murder.
- Multiple murders that were committed either at the same time or at different times but in pursuit of the same criminal scheme or course of conduct.
What Are the Penalties for Capital Murder in Texas?
Capital murder is a capital felony in Texas, which means that it carries harsher penalties than regular murder charges. Those convicted of capital murder will receive either a life sentence in prison or the death penalty.
What Are Special Issues In a Capital Murder Case?
In Texas capital murder cases, the death penalty is on the table. Texas is one of 31 states where capital punishment is an option for particularly heinous crimes. When delivering a guilty verdict in a capital murder case, the jury is asked to consider three special issues to decide whether the defendant should be sentenced to capital punishment or to a life sentence.
For the defendant to be sentenced to capital punishment in a Texas capital murder case, the jury must answer “yes” to the first two special issues and “no” to the third special issue. Ten of the jurors must be in agreement beyond a reasonable doubt for an answer of “yes” to be accepted for either of the first two special issues.
Special Issue #1
The first special issue asks the jury to decide if there is a probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that constitute a threat to society.
Special Issue #2
The second special issue that the jury must consider involves the intent of the perpetrator. It can be broken down into three main parts:
- Did the defendant actually cause the death of the victim?
- If the defendant did not actually cause the death of the victim, did they intend to kill the deceased or to kill another person?
- If the defendant did not actually cause the death of the victim, did they anticipate that a human life would be taken as a result of their actions?
Special Issue #3
If the jury answers “yes” to both of the first two special issues, they will then be asked to consider the third special issue, which involves looking at the defendant’s character, background, and moral circumstances to determine if there are any mitigating factors that make a life sentence in prison without parole a more appropriate sentence than the death penalty.
Capital Murder Defense Strategies in Texas
If you or a loved one has been accused of or charged with a crime as serious as murder or capital murder, you may feel hopeless or like there is nothing you can do but accept your fate. However, the prosecution must be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant intentionally caused the death of the deceased. With a knowledgeable defense attorney who has experience handling Texas murder and capital murder, you may be able to get the charges against you dropped or lowered to less serious charges, depending on the circumstances of your particular case.
Several common murder defense strategies that may be used include:
Lack of intent.
Accidents do occur and in some cases, defendants may be accused of intentionally killing someone when, in fact, they were involved in an accident. Furthermore, the defendant may not have intended for their actions to lead to the death of the victim. To prove that a murder occurred, the prosecution must be able to show that the alleged perpetrator intended for their actions to kill the victim. If the defense can provide evidence that the defendant did not intend for the victim to die, the outcome of your case is likely to be more favorable.
Texas is one of the twenty-five states that use “stand your ground” law, which means that you are allowed to confront a violent threat with the use of force. To successfully argue that a homicide was self-defense and was therefore justified, the defendant must show several things:
- they reasonably feared death or bodily harm from the victim (verbal threats and insults are unlikely to be enough to show this).
- the defendant used a reasonable amount of force that was proportional to the severity of the threat. For example, it would be difficult to argue that shooting someone multiple times was a reasonable or proportional response to being shoved in the shoulder.
- the defendant must not have instigated the threatening situation. In other words, if you punched someone first, they retaliated to defend themselves, and you ended up killing them, you would not be able to argue self-defense, because you instigated the threat.
- the defendant must not have used force after the threat of death or bodily harm has passed. Showing up to someone’s house with a knife hours after they threatened you is not justifiable.
Sudden passion arising from adequate cause.
The Texas Penal Code notes that the defendant may be able to argue that the alleged crime was the result of a “sudden passion arising from adequate cause.” The Penal Code defines sudden passion as “passion directly caused by and arising out of provocation by the individual killed or another acting with the person killed.” Adequate cause is defined as “cause that would commonly produce a degree of anger, rage, resentment, or terror in a person of ordinary temper, sufficient to render the mind incapable of cool reflection.”
It is important to note that showing sudden passion arising from adequate cause does not mean your charges will be dismissed. However, if successful, this strategy will result in having your charges reduced to a second-degree felony, resulting in a prison sentence of between two and twenty years.

Finding advanced techniques in medicine also leads to creation of more amounts and new types of medical waste. We are healing ourselves with the help of advanced medical technologies, yet, this creates another problem. This problem is medical waste and if we do not handle it properly, it leads to a huge harm for our health and environment.
Covid-19 has brought us a lot of problems. Especially these days we need more technology and developments in medicine. Covid-19 has made us lean on more to medical developments. Imagine that only to find vaccines we are creating a lot of waste for the trial and errors. Our waste production during this period and we need to deal with this waste properly to eliminate any danger. Moreover, improper management of healthcare waste aids in transmission of Covid-19 virus.
Meeting with the regulations in medical waste is highly important. Governments are realizing the importance of medical waste and they understand how complex the processes are. For this reason, they put a lot of rules and regulations for medical waste processes starting from collection until disposal. The key point here is always ensuring safety and transparency.
The regulations want the medical waste processes to be safe for workers and environment. We need to be extremely careful to achieve these standards and keep in mind that any error during the process might be very dangerous.
To reach these targets, we need to collect a lot of live data and analyze it efficiently to track the processes. All of these take a lot of time if they are handled in traditional ways. For this reason, the processes are transformed more and more to more automated ways.
As you can imagine, the medical waste management requires a lot of steps.
We should always consider that we need to support sustainable practices in each and every step of medical waste management. However, since the amount of waste is increasing we are concerned about what we can do. Well good news is that we have a savior!
For the increasing medical waste problem, the helper is the technology. By utilizing technological power, we can ensure safety and efficiency at every stage of medical waste management. Technology leads us to develop all-in-one platforms that can manage all data and processes of waste management effectively and create optimized solutions for it.
Utilizing technology helps us to reach sustainable standards in medical waste management which is very hard to achieve with traditional methods. We can minimize errors and maximize efficiency, save a lot of time, cost and resources.
We should promote the usage of RFID, GPS and IoT technology to optimize each process. This will help us to achieve operational excellence. Thereby, we will have a green, healthy and safe environment and future for us and for next generations.
What can we provide for you to reach these standards? As Evreka, we are an advanced technology-based software company that loves our environment.

Fake court papers trick Google into censorship
Forged court orders have been used in an attempt to deceive Google into removing hundreds of links.
A British businessman’s name appears to be among dozens of instances where the documents have been served on the search engine to try to force it to remove damaging information from search results.
Last week two fake documents were sent to Google in an attempt to censor a Times article revealing concerns about an online pharmacy run by an alleged internet spammer. The documents, including an order which purported to be from the UK Supreme Court, were sent to the tech giant in an attempt to get the article removed from its search result.

HMRC has today launched an awareness campaign to ensure that workers know what pay they are entitled to. Enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (“NMW”) has been high on the Government’s agenda for several years now and this is the latest in a string of measures intended to achieve compliance with the NMW. Businesses who flout the rules are now ‘named and shamed’ for that failure and hefty fines can be levied in addition of 200% of the total underpayment up to an overall maximum of £20,000 per underpaid worker.
Payment of the NMW is enforced by HMRC who have the power to conduct wide-ranging inspections at any time and without giving a reason. Part of today’s campaign reveals some of the most bizarre excuses inspectors have been given by employers who have been caught out:
1. The employee wasn’t a good worker so I didn’t think they deserved to be paid the NMW.
2. It’s part of UK culture not to pay young workers for the first 3 months as they have to prove their ‘worth’ first.
3. I thought it was ok to pay foreign workers below the NMW as they aren’t British and therefore don’t have the right to be paid it.
4. She doesn’t deserve the NMW because she only makes the teas and sweeps the floors.
5. I’ve got an agreement with my workers that I won’t pay them the NMW; they understand and they even signed a contract to this effect.
6. My accountant and I speak a different language – he doesn’t understand me and that’s why he doesn’t pay my workers the correct wages.
7. My workers like to think of themselves as being self-employed and the NMW doesn’t apply to people who work for themselves.
8. My workers are often just on standby when there are no customers in the shop; I only pay them for when they’re actually serving someone.
9. My employee is still learning so they aren’t entitled to the NMW.
10. The NMW doesn’t apply to my business.
By law, all workers must be paid at least £7.20 an hour if they are aged 25 years and over or the NMW rate relevant to their age if they are younger. The new campaign encourages workers to check their pay and makes them aware of the avenues open to them to report any concerns. A failures to meet NMW obligations can have serious implications, both for a business’ finances and its reputation, and we would strongly advise all businesses to make sure that they are fully compliant and to seek urgent advice if they have any concerns.

The PALLV16V8 is an advanced PAL device built with low-voltage, high-speed, electrically-erasable CMOS technology. It is functionally compatible with all 20-pin GAL devices. The macrocells provide a universal device architecture. The PALLV16V8 will directly replace the PAL16R8, with the exception of the PAL16C1.
The PALLV16V8Z provides zero standby power and high speed. At 30-uA maximum standby current, the PALLV16V8Z allows battery powered operation for an extended period.
The PALLV16V8 utilizes the familiar sum-of-products (AND/OR) architecture that allows users to implement complex logic functions easily and efficiently. Multiple levels of combinatorial logic can always be reduced to sum-of-products form, taking advantage of the very wide input gates available in PAL devices. The equations are programmed into the device through floating-gate cells in the AND logic array that can be erased electrically.
The fixed OR array allows up to eight data product terms per output for logic functions. The sum of these products feeds the output macrocell. Each macrocell can be programmed as registered or combinatorial with an active-high or active-low output. The output configuration is determined by two global bits and one local bit controlling four multiplexers in each macrocell.
The PALLV16V8 is a low-voltage, EE CMOS version of the PALCE16V8.
The PALIV16V8Z is a low-voltage, EE CMOS version of the PALCE16V8. In addition, the PALLV16V8Z has zero standby power and an unused product term disable feature for reduced power consumption.
The PALLV16V8 is a universal PAL device. It has eight independently configurable macrocells
(MCo-MC). Each macrocell can be configured as registered output, combinatorial output, combinatorial I/O or dedicated input. The programming matrix implements a programmable AND logic array, which drives a fixed OR logic array. Buffers for device inputs have complementary outputs to provide user-programmable input signal polarity. Pins 1 and 11 serve either as array inputs or as clock (CLK) and output enable(OE), respectively, for all flip-flops.
Unused input pins should be tied directly to Vcc or GND. Product terms with all bits unprogrammed(disconnected) assume the logical HIGH state and product terms with both true and complement of any input signal connected assume a logical LOW state.
The programmable functions on the PALLV16V8 are automatically configured from the user's design specification. The design specification is processed by development software to verify the design and create a programming file. This file, once downloaded to a programmer, configures the device according to the user's desired function.
The user is given two design options with the PALLV16V8. First, it can be programmed as astandard PAL device from the PAL16R8 and PAL10H8 series. The PAL programmer manufacturer will supply device codes for the standard PAL device architectures to be used with the PALLV16V8.
The programmer will program the PALLV16V8 in the corresponding architecture. This allows the user to use existing standard PAL device JEDEC files without making any changes to them.
Alternatively, the device can be programmed as a PALLV16V8. Here the user must use the PALLV16V8 device code. This option allows full utilization of the macrocell.

Three of the remaining members of "Doolittle's Raiders" gathered in Ohio Saturday.
The Doolittle Raid did more than cheer a nation’s morale. Stung by the bursting of their illusions of invincibility, the Japanese advanced the timetable for their attack on New Guinea. As their huge fleet steamed into the Coral Sea, they were met by 3 American carriers, alerted to their plans by the cracking of the Japanese naval code. The resulting battle — the first naval engagement in history where neither side saw each other — was considered a draw. But a few weeks later when Admiral Yamamoto attacked Midway Island hoping to draw the American carriers into a trap, the US Navy turned the tables on the Japanese — with a big assist to the code breakers — as almost 300 carrier-based aircraft obliterated four Japanese carriers. From then until the end of the war, the Japanese were largely on the defensive.

When President Donald Trump mentioned “other worlds” in his speech to a join Congress this week, the space community started buzzing.
“American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream,” said Trump at the end of his speech.
According to PBS NewsHour Science Correspondent Miles O’brian a manned mission could take place in 2019, as “all of a sudden there is wide agreement in the space community [the moon] might be the next step.” The mission may take the form of “learning how to live there on a sustained basis” — ie, a manned encampment.
A traditional barrier to space missions has been the large cost. NASA’s budget is around 19 billion, and the Army’s budget for space is around $40 billion, and analysts are considering ways these two organizations could borrow from each other in a force multiplier relationship, making it possible to make a moon mission with reduced costs to the country.
The private sector is also increasingly interested in the moon. SpaceX also is continuing to push toward commercial voyages. Elon Musk’s company announced a tourist trip for two people around the moon before.

Ten normal subjects performed a 90-s isometric exercise [20, 30, and 40% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)] of the flexor muscle of the right index finger or quadriceps muscle of the right leg. Contralateral forearm and calf blood flows (strain gauge plethysmography) and arterial blood pressure (auscultation) were measured simultaneously. Each exercise caused a decrease in forearm vascular resistance and a progressive increase in calf resistance. These changes were greatest with the 40% MVC. With finger exercise at 20 and 40% MVC, the percentage decreases in forearm vascular resistance from control were 12.3 and 22.7%, respectively (P < 0.01). Similar decreases (9.5 and 24.9%, respectively; P < 0.01) were noted with exercise of the quadriceps muscle. By contrast, the corresponding increases in calf vascular resistance were greater (P < 0.01) with quadriceps exercise (13.3 and 55.4%, respectively) than with finger exercise (6.0 and 36.0%). Arrest of the circulation to the exercising muscles just before the exercise ended caused an abrupt increase in forearm vascular resistance and a decrease in calf resistance. These studies provide further evidence of the heterogeneity of responses of forearm and calf resistance vessels to certain cardiovascular stimuli.

Note: Note: West Coast Premiere. Screening will be followed by a discussion between filmmaker George Csicsery, MSRI Director David Eisenbud, and mathematician Daniel Alan Goldston.
For centuries, mathematicians had attempted, without success to prove a seemingly simple conjecture in Number Theory, the Twin Prime Conjecture. In Counting from Infinity, Bay Area filmmaker George Csicsery takes a close look at the history of this conjecture and the exceptional—but unlikely—mathematician whose amazing discovery has brought us closer to solving the problem.
In April 2013, a lecturer at the University of New Hampshire submitted a paper to the Annals of Mathematics; within weeks, word of a stunning mathematical breakthrough spread. Yitang Zhang, a little-known mathematician with no permanent job and working in complete isolation had made an important breakthrough toward solving the Twin Prime Conjecture. Counting from Infinity is a study of Zhang's unexpected and unconventional rise from obscurity and a disadvantaged youth to mathematical celebrity. The story of quiet perseverance amidst adversity, and Zhang's preference for thinking and working in solitude, is interwoven with a history of the Twin Prime Conjecture as told by several mathematicians, many of whom have wrestled with this enormously challenging problem in Number Theory.
George Paul Csicsery, a writer and independent filmmaker since 1968, has directed 33 films, many about the lives and work of mathematicians. His best known documentaries are N is a Number: a Portrait of Paul Erdös (1993), Julia Robinson and Hilbert’s Tenth Problem (2008), Hard Problems (2008), Hungry for Monsters (2004), and Where the Heart Roams (1987).
David Eisenbud served as Director of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) from 1997 to 2007, and began a new term in 2013. He is currently Professor of Mathematics at UC Berkeley and serves on the Board of Directors of the Simons Foundation. Eisenbud’s mathematical interests range widely over commutative and non-commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, topology, and computer methods.
Daniel Alan Goldston is an American mathematician who specializes in number theory. He is currently a professor of mathematics at San Jose State University. Goldston is best known for a result that he, János Pintz, and Cem Yıldırım proved in 2005, known as GPY. | <urn:uuid:59c193f3-2617-4921-a95b-93f9bd23b2e5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/screen-counting-infinity-yitang-zhang-twin-prime-conjecture | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.937026 | 531 | 1.890625 | 2 |
Senator Joe Biden had a strong win over Governor Sarah Palin in the 2008 US vice-presidential debate.
Perhaps the most telling difference in this debate was Biden’s superior matter. He was able to strengthen his arguments through a very strong command of detail. Palin struggled from time to time and resorted to generalities. Take the example of Israel where Biden explained how the approach of the Bush Administration had strengthened Hamas and Hezbollah, while Palin could only declare broadly that she loved Israel.
Palin demonstrated knowledge about the voting records of Senators McCain, Obama and Biden. However Biden was able to counter these arguments by explaining the nuances of certain votes and why Palin’s assertions were not necessarily accurate. The tax votes of Senators McCain and Obama being an example.
On an issues basis, Biden was stronger on foreign and domestic policy. Biden was much stronger on the current economic problems and the need for change, while Palin was inconsistent: stronger regulations on one hand and small government on the other.
Palin turned energy into her strongest issue, playing on her Alaskan experience. However she was unable to capture the strength of McCain’s arguments from the first debate on the surge in Iraq and could not go with Biden on the detail of other international issues.
Biden balanced his detail-oriented approach with an effective, tight structure. His responses were enumerated or listed on a number of occasions. While lists often do not constitute good debating, Biden was at his most persuasive when he listed nine key differences (as he saw it) between the two parties (this was in response to the question of what agenda both candidates would pursue if they needed to step in as president). Structure was less important to Palin because she tended to deal in generalities and had less to say.
Both speakers were reasonably fluent throughout the debate. Palin’s personal story, emotional appeals and folksy (accessible) language was neutralised by Biden’s own person story, sincerity and warmth. Both candidates showed each other a lot of respect. Biden confined his strongest personal attacks to Bush, Cheney and McCain, while Palin confined her strongest attacks to Obama.
Some may say on the basis of low expectations that the debate helped Palin in a political sense. However, on an objective analysis of the debate according to the rules of debate, it was a strong win for Biden. | <urn:uuid:360ac654-da61-4a2d-ad4c-596e4de5ddde> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.crikey.com.au/2008/10/03/debating-expert-biden-won-hands-down/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.979031 | 477 | 2.578125 | 3 |
Summer is well and truly here. Temperatures are rapidly rising. But, you don’t need to pack up your trainers with your woolly jumpers. Of course you can keep exercising but BE CAREFUL! Exercising in hot weather puts extra stress on your body. If you don't take care when exercising in the heat, you risk serious illness. Both the exercise itself and the air temperature can increase your core body temperature. To help cool itself, your body sends more blood to circulate through your skin. It’s working over time. This can jack up your heart rate to a dangerously high level. This is especially true in high humidity since sweat takes longer to evaporate from your skin so it's harder for heat to dissipate.
So what can we do? We know it’s important to maintain an exercise regime and keep moving. We can’t simply STOP completely for the summer months! Well, the answers are obvious. Walk early in the morning or much later in the evening. Drink large quantities of water. Wear lots of suncream and a hat. And ALWAYS avoid the highest temperatures. If you are unsure about how you will handle it then please avoid risk at all costs and go for a nice cool swim instead.
There are some fantastic walking fitness videos on YouTube. With offerings from 1 mile to 10,000K steps that can be completed indoors. So, put on your air con and smash out your exercise in the safety and comfort of your own lounge. If you do find you let your walking routine slip over the summer you can drop me a line and sign up for my 28 Day Challenge in September. Don’t worry too much about cutting back as the temperatures soar as we need to be sensible. But, try not to come to a full halt. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy, healthy and sunny season and always remember to look after #1. That’s you! Keep safe and always try to Walk Your Way Well.

Jean Adrien Seide 12"x16" The Walking Woman 2021 Acrylic on Canvas #6MFN
A unique and beautiful small landscape by a well-known Haitian artist Jean Adrien Seide to add to your art collection! It is a 12"x16" painting acrylic on canvas depicting a woman walking alone on the road in a landscape scene.
Self-taught Haitian artist Jean-Adrien Seide was born in Cayes on November 18, 1956. He moved to Venezuela when his father passed away. He paints highly structured landscapes, with a series of fields spreading out towards a distant horizon.
Jean Adrien Seide's themes derive from the River of Artibonite, the mountains of Jacmel, and the cascades from the famous Saut Mathurin or Peligre in Haiti. At first glance, his paintings look representational, but a more detailed examination leads to a fascination, and the fantastic element predominates over the immediate reality.
His art has been shown in several countries, including the United States, Venezuela, Spain, Salvador, Canada, Haiti, and France. Seide is well-known among art collectors all around the globe, who like his simple landscapes.
"Horizontal lines evoking fields cross the vertical lines of trees to create a coherent landscape." (Peintres Haitiens by Gérald Alexis)

Case Transformer corrects text in any browser and editor
I have Case Transformer to start when Windows starts. It’s not a program that I use each and every minute, but since it occupies no memory, I prefer to have it available, because I use it frequently enough.
We copy text from email messages, from discussion groups and forums, from blogs and social media, Facebook, Twitter… Usually in all those places people write without following the rules. They can write all caps or without caps at all, and in all possible combinations!
Case Transformer helps me to bring some order to this chaos instantly! I just select the text I want to correct, then press a keyboard shortcut and select how the text should appear — all caps, as in a sentence (only the first letter is a cap), as in (some type of) a title, with capital the first letter of each word, all lowercase, or even inverted (caps are lowered, and the previously lowered are capitalized).
Case Transformer lets you customize the keyboard shortcut for its popup menu. | <urn:uuid:bdfd0b39-e8da-4f01-945e-a2e54978a0b4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thefreewindows.com/30229/case-transformer-corrects-text-in-any-browser-and-editor/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571198.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810161541-20220810191541-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.916668 | 220 | 1.734375 | 2 |
Lipidol is a company with a mission to re-educate consumers about the physiology of the skin and how our daily routines could be disrupting this.
“Our skin is made up of water and it needs oil to keep it in,” says Justin Letschert, CEO and co-founder of Lipidol, a new oil-based brand created by himself and brother David, also the duo behind global bestseller Bio-Oil.
Letschert believes that oil-based skincare will be a major part of the beauty industry of the future and it’s easy to understand why. At the recent launch of Lipidol, Letschert showed a time-lapse video of two beakers filled with water, one topped with oil, the other neutral.
What happened over the course of several days was impressively simple: the beaker with the thin oil layer kept a full retention of water, the other had dried up considerably.
When oils – which closely resemble the skin’s in-built moisturising fluid, sebum – are applied to the skin, they are absorbed directly into the top layers of the epidermis, where they instantly go to work improving the lipid barrier function and preventing moisture within the skin from evaporating.
The result of a replenished lipid barrier is that skin tends to feel less “tight” and is more smooth and glowing.
“The skin has its own natural oily layer known as the lipid barrier,” explains Letschert. “The problem is that every time we shower [with soaps and gels], we strip away this important layer. Then we use a moisturiser, but you can’t put moisture on the skin – moisture comes from within the skin. By the time the skin has built back its own natural oily layer, we shower again.”
In centuries gone by, when daily washing was unheard of, harsh soaps may have been necessary to cut through a week’s worth of grime. But as indoor plumbing improved, humans began to wash more frequently and today most people wash once, sometimes twice a day, often with products containing harsh surfactants that can strip the skin of natural oils.
Exposure to elements, such as the sun, cold and air-conditioning, also has a detrimental impact on our lipid barrier. “In addition, as you get older the lipid layer also thins, which is why skin tends to be dryer as we age,” Letschert says.
As a result of all this abuse, the founders of Lipidol would have us overhaul our skincare regime by using products they say will help maintain, rather than strip away, the oily lipid barrier of the skin.
As Tony Dweck, former president of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists and consultant to Lipidol points out, modern consumers spend vast amounts of money on creams to replace lost moisture. Such products are a mixture of oils and water, with the addition of active ingredients and emulsifiers, to make the oil and water mix together. “But water has no activity on the skin, and most cosmetic creams contain up to 90 per cent water,” says Dweck. If you find this hard to believe, look at the lotions found in your bathroom. You will find “aqua” at the top of most ingredient listings, meaning it’s the key constituent of the product – ingredients are required to be listed from greatest amount used to the least.
The Lipidol range carries six different oil products, including a Cleansing Face Oil and After Shower Oil, all priced at $9.95 from Farmers. This month readers who purchase their March issue of MiNDFOOD magazine from select Paper Plus stores will receive a free Lipidol After Shower Oil, while stock lasts. | <urn:uuid:35ddc07b-bb5b-421f-b145-a0a855390e1f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mindfood.com/article/future-beauty-lipidol/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.952991 | 801 | 1.992188 | 2 |

High rates of anxiety and depression reported in Ireland amid Covid-19
Researchers from Ireland (Maynooth University and the Centre for Global Health, Trinity College Dublin), Northern Ireland (Ulster University), Scotland (Edinburgh Napier University), and England (University of Sheffield) have released the first wave of the Irish COVID-19 Psychological Survey; a multi-wave study running throughout the COVID-19 outbreak to better understand how people are responding, understanding and coping with the pandemic.
Over 1,000 adult citizens of the Republic of Ireland completed the survey, which was launched on 31 March; 31 days after the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported in the Republic of Ireland. The survey was launched 19 days after An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced sweeping restrictions on the movement of people, and two days after Irish residents were required to stay at home. Participants answered questions about their current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, their mental health, and their views on COVID-19 vaccination.
Initial results suggest that mental health problems are common; 41% of people reported feeling lonely, 23% reported clinically meaningful levels of depression, 20% reported clinically meaningful levels of anxiety, and 18% reported clinically meaningful levels of post-traumatic stress.
Dr Philip Hyland of Maynooth University, said of the results: “We’re seeing high rates of mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, and these problems are affecting men and women differently. Women are experiencing higher levels of depression and anxiety whereas men are experiencing higher rates of post-traumatic stress.”
Dr Hyland added that “nearly half of the people surveyed were feeling lonely and those people with higher levels of loneliness were most likely to experience adverse mental health problems. We also found that younger people, those who have a tendency to think in catastrophic ways, those who fear being infected by COVID-19, and those who have had someone close to them infected by COVID-19 are at a higher risk of mental health problems.”
Dr Frédérique Vallières, Director of Trinity College’s Centre for Global Health further added: “Despite encouraging results in terms of people’s knowledge on COVID-19, we further found that attitudes towards the uptake of a potential COVID-19 vaccine to be worryingly low, with only 65% of people indicating that they would accept a vaccine for themselves and their children. One-in-four people did say however that they might accept a vaccine for themselves and their child, compared to one-in-ten people who said they would not. A better understanding of why people might be hesitant to accept a COVID-19 vaccine, if and when it is developed is required.”
The second wave of the COVID-19 Psychological Survey is scheduled to commence prior to the 5 May. The research team will examine what effect prolonged quarantine and physical distancing measures have on people’s mental health and wellbeing, and what can be done to safeguard the mental health of the nation during this and any future health emergency. The research team seek to understand more about COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.
Speaking about the importance of the survey, Dr Philip Hyland added: “The social and political context of the present crisis is unique and the mental health consequences of this pandemic need to be properly understood to ensure the nation’s swift return to normal functioning when it is safe to do so.”
The research team are currently preparing multiple scientific papers and will release these findings as soon as possible. The findings of this next wave of the study will be delivered next month.

Dear Parents/Carers of Owls,
Wow, I can’t believe we are now in term 6, the year has flown by so quickly! This term we will be learning about our local area – Folkestone.
Literacy: This term we will be learning a poem called Freaky Week by Pie Corbett. Freaky Week is a fun, repetitive, rhyming poem about colours and the days of the week. After completing lots of activities, such as, designing a colourful t-shirt, identifying the features of the poem, creating a poem map, thinking of actions and coming up with our own rhyming words, the children will be writing their own version of Freaky Week!
Maths: Our focuses this term are on place value up to 100, money and lots of revisiting of previous learning.
Science: This term in science we will be exploring local habitats, understanding the animals and fish that surround us and we will be looking at rocks and fossils!
Art: We will be observing and replicating the work of local artists to support our learning on our local area. The children will use watercolours and pastels to re-create their favourite pieces.
R.E: The theme for this term is a continuation of Judaism and the new big question the children will focus on is ‘What special times and people do Jewish people remember and celebrate?’. We will also be participating in a whole school Islam week during this term.
History: In History we will look into the history of our local area, specifically Folkestone’s fishing history.
Computing: We will be learning how to create a poster online by using different digital tools. Afterwards, we will be evaluating and improving our work to make it even better. In addition, we will also be learning all about coding using Purple Mash.
PSHE: In PSHE we will be thinking about our school value of perseverance and we will also be preparing for the transition to year 2.
– P.E is on a Friday; the children need to wear their kits into school every Friday.
– Home learning books must be handed in by Tuesday in order to be checked and sent back out on Friday. It is your child’s responsibility to hand them in so please encourage them to do so.
– Please read daily with your child and record any engagement of reading at home in their reading record books. The children are making great progress in reading.
– Your child must be sent into school every day with their blazer and school headwear (caps/berets).
– Please remember to send your child in with a water bottle in every day, especially as the weather is warmer.
– Please ensure sun creams and sun hats are labelled.
If there are any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Arguably the most important awards in the field of human rights.
The Bureau has been honoured with being awarded a 2012 Amnesty International Media Award in the Digital Media category.
Last year the Bureau won the same award for its work on the Iraq War Logs Wikileaks files.
The 2012 award was for the Bureau’s six-month investigation into deaths in police custody.
The report revealed that high-profile deaths in police custody had not been included in official statistics, that police continue to use restraint techniques that have long been known to be fatal and that questionable science was being used to deflect blame away from the police.
The investigation was published as a multi-media website, on the front page of the Independent and as a BBC Radio File on 4. The report’s findings led to calls for an inquiry into the Independent Police Complaints Commission by Home Affairs Select Committee Chair, Keith Vaz.
Iain Overton, editor in-chief of the Bureau said: ‘Being chosen for this prestigious award two years running is a great honour. It re-inforces how important the work is that the Bureau does. It’s also great that a relatively small organisation like ours can share a stage with media giants like the Guardian and the BBC. Of course, the most important this is the work we did. We hope this award will help remind the national media the importance of covering deaths in police custody.’

Bee rustling. It might conjure up an image from a gritty Western. Hardened men wearing black cowboy hats, their faces obscured by bandanas, lassos and six-shooters at the ready, whoop and holler as the bee stampede begins.
But bee rustlers, unlike their more traditional criminal brethren, are likely to use a flatbed truck and forklift or nothing more than a beekeeper’s veil, gloves and a getaway vehicle.
Worth an estimated $20 billion to the agriculture industry in the U.S. and about $200 billion worldwide, honey bees are big business. Add to this a plummeting population due to factors that includes colony collapse disorder, and you have a whole lot of money at stake. And where there’s money, crime will surely follow.
“We had the biggest [bee] die-off in history this year,” said Darren Cox, a beekeeper from Utah. “When you have a commodity that’s valuable and continuing to increase, [bee theft] is going to escalate.”
The vast majority of the world’s most crucial crops require pollination, and some, like broccoli and almonds, are totally dependent on honeybees for that process.
Yearly, 1.6 million hives – about 60 percent of all available for-hire honey bee colonies in the country – are required to pollinate the 800,000 acres of almond trees in California, which accounts for more than 80 percent of the global market.
Cox, named beekeeper of the year for 2013 by the American Honey Producers Association, was himself a victim of bee rustlers earlier this year. He lost 80 hives, valued at $53,000, that were stolen from an almond orchard in Central California. He offered a $10,000 reward leading to the arrest of the perpetrators, but has yet to receive any information about the crime.
According to Cox, thieves operate in one of two ways: they either steal individual frames, the basic component of a hive, or the entire hive itself, which because of its size, requires fairly heavy equipment to haul away.
Cox believes the thief who stole his hives was likely a fellow beekeeper or a farmer desperate to get his crops pollinated. According to Cox, this year some farmers have been unable to get bees “at any price” to pollinate their almond orchards.
“Theft of bee colonies is regrettable, not least because the perpetrators are likely to themselves be beekeepers, as the nature of bees means that few opportunist thieves are likely to be brave enough to try to steal them,” says Norman Carreck, the science director for the International Bee Research Association, University of Sussex, England.
Crime statistics are hard to come by (you won’t find this listed in the FBI’s crime figures), but anecdotal evidence suggests that the bee theft has been on the rise in the U.S. and globally over the last few years.
Carreck says that while in the United Kingdom bee thefts are still rare, he acknowledged that elsewhere, including South Africa, “beekeepers have serious problems with theft and employ considerable security measures to prevent theft.”
Germany saw an 85 percent jump in bee theft from 2007 to 2008, with more than 300 thefts reported, according to a 2010 Der Spiegel article.
Neither Cox nor Carreck believe law enforcement officials are taking these crimes seriously.
“I cannot recall anybody having been convicted of the theft of bee hives,” says Carreck.
Cox says the state of California, needs to “step up and take this seriously.” He has a fairly simple solution to help catch these types of criminals. He says that since most beekeepers use individual brands on all their equipment, a database could be generated that state agriculture inspectors at California’s border stations could refer to in order to verify that the hives haven’t been stolen.
Cox, comparing beekeeping to another agricultural industry where rustling is a problem, says that if the government can put measures in place to help stave off cattle rustling, they should be able to do the same for bees.
“They have brand inspectors for the cattle industry,” he points out. “They should be able to utilize something similar [for the beekeeping industry.]”

Rural areas need fuel help - MP
EAST Devon MP Hugo Swire has called on the Government to do more to help householders struggling to pay their oil, gas and electricity bills.
EAST Devon MP Hugo Swire has called on the Government to do more to help householders struggling to pay their oil, gas and electricity bills.Mr Swire said the number of 'fuel poor' households has doubled since 2003, a particular problem in East Devon.But the Government's Warm Front grant, aimed at making rural homes more energy efficient, is not getting to those who need it most.The grant provides insulation and heating up-grades up to the value of �3,500 - �6,000 for oil central heating.But, because many homes in East Devon are not on mains gas and the problems with cavity-wall insulation in older properties, many rural residents lose out on the grant.Mr Swire challenged the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Miliband, this week, in the House of Commons.He said: "The reason why there was no mention of fuel poverty in the Budget is that the Centre for Sustainable Energy estimates that fuel poverty has 'at the very least' doubled since 2003. "My constituency is in Devon, where 21 wards, including Exmouth Littleham Urban, fall within the worst 21 per cent of wards in England. "However, the real problem lies outside the main town centres and urban areas; it is to be found in the rural areas, where Warm Front is less effective because of the lack of accessibility to gas boilers and the problems with cavity-wall insulation. "Those things are so typical of the kind of houses that exist in rural areas in my constituency. "What can the Secretary of State do to help the 'disguised' fuel poverty in rural areas resulting from Warm Front's failing and can it be addressed urgently?"Mr Miliband said: "On his first point, as I said, fuel poverty has increased because energy prices have increased, but since 2002, some five million houses have been insulated under our programmes. ".... (But) he is right to say that people off the gas grid face particular challenges. "I think that he will see from this morning's announcements that the non-standard grant level has also been increased. "I hope that that will help people who are facing the circumstances that he describes. I also hope that if he has further concerns following the announcement, he will take them up with the Minister in charge of Warm Front."l Hugo Swire can be contacted at: The House of Commons, London.

08AUG22 - As fire behavior on the Clover Fire continues on a downward trend, updates for this fire will no longer be made daily. If there is a significant change, an update will be made at that time. Firefighters are patrolling and monitoring this fire to ensure it stays within constructed containment lines and working on suppression and repair objectives. The fire size remains at 1,099 acres. The percentage containment will continue to be updated on InciWeb as that increases.
The Clover Fire started on July 13, 2022 as a result of a lightning strike. This wildfire is located in the Middle fork of Warm Springs Creek on the Madison Ranger District of the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest. The fire is currently being managed under a confine/contain strategy due to fuel conditions, geographic location and values at risk. The objective is to contain the fire in the Middle Fork Warm Springs Creek drainage, utilizing fuel type changes, natural breaks and burnout operations. Firefighters will patrol and monitor the fire perimeter to ensure it stays within constructed containment lines. Firefighters will also begin working on the suppression/repair phase. This includes collecting and piling unburnedtrimmed limbs near containment lines. At a later date they will be burned in order to reduce fuels near containment lines, thereby strengthening the containment lines for future fire breaks.
Safety of firefighters and the public are the highest priorities for incident management. An area Closure Order remains in effect until October 30, 2022 or until rescinded, and can be viewed at the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest webpage: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/bdnf/alerts-notices.

One mantra that occupies a very special place in Hindu life is called the Gayatri. It is central to the religious ceremonies, celebrations, and spiritual attainment. It is part of the Vedas and described for meditation in the Upanishads (Brihadaraynkya Upanishad V. 14. 1-8 and Chhandogya Upanishad III. 12. 1-9). In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says: “Among the mantras, know me in the Gayatri” (Bhagavad Gita X. 35).
The Gāyatrī Mantra is a highly revered mantra, based on a Vedic Sanskrit verse from a hymn of the Rig Veda (3.62.10), attributed to the sage Visvamitra. The mantra is named for its vedic Gayatri Metre . As the verse can be interpreted to invoke god Savitr (The Sun, the Creator) it is often called Savitri. Its recitation is traditionally preceded by OM and the formula bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ, known as the mahāvyāhṛti ("great utterance").
The Gayatri Mantra is repeated and cited very widely in vedic literature and praised in several well-known classical Hindu texts such as Manusmriti, Harivamsa and the Bhagavad Gita. The mantra is an important part of the Yajnopavith ceremony for young males and has long been recited by Brahmin males as part of their daily rituals. Modern Hindu reform movements spread the practice of the mantra to include women and all castes and its use is now very widespread.
Recitation of the Gayatri Mantra is preceded by OM and the formula bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ known as the mahāvyāhṛti ("great utterance"). This prefixing of the mantra proper is described in the Taittiriya Aranyaka (2.11.1-8), which states that scriptural recitation was always to begin with the chanting of the syllable oṃ, followed by the three Vyahrtis and the Gayatri verse. Following the mahāvyāhṛti is then the mantra proper, the verse RV 3.62.10 which is as follows.
Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt
A literal translation of the Gayatri verse proper can be given as:
"May we attain that excellent glory of Savitr the god: So may he stimulate our prayers?"
—The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896), Ralph T. H. Griffith.
The literal translation of the Mahāvyāhṛti formula bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ prefixed to the verse is "earth, air, heaven". These are the names of the first three of the seven vyāhṛti or higher worlds of Hindu cosmology.
Swami Vivekananda translates the Mantra as "We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this universe; may He enlighten our minds.”
Dr.S. Radhakrishnan translates it as "We meditate on the effulgent glory of the divine Light; may he inspire our understanding. We meditate on the adorable glory of the radiant sun; may he inspire our intelligence.”
In summary, the life transforming essence of the Gayatri Mantra unfolds the ultimate unity of God and existence.
In traditional Brahmin practice the Gayatri Mantra is addressed to God as the divine life-giver, symbolized by Savitr (the sun), and is most often recited at sunrise, noon, and sunset. It is believed by practitioners that reciting the mantra bestows wisdom and enlightenment, through the vehicle of the Sun, Savitr, who represents the source and inspiration of the universe. Recitation at sunrise every morning, at noon and in the evening at the sunset is part of the daily ritual (sandhya vandana). While often associated with outward ritual offerings, it can be recited more inwardly and without rites, a practice generally known as japa. Gaayantham thraayathe ithi Gaayathree - "Because it protects the one who recites it, it is called Gayatri.”
Imparting the Sāvitrī mantra to young Hindu males is an important part of the traditional yajnopavith cere- mony, which marks the beginning of study of the Vedas which is the essence of the ceremony. This is called “Gayatri Diksha", i.e. initiation into the Gayatri Mantra. In some regions in India this ceremony is performed for the girls also. Hence the recitation of the Gayatri Mantra is not limited to males alone. The imparting of this Mantra is considered as secret not because of its confidentiality but due to its esoteric meaning. Anything is secret so long we do not understand it and once it is understood it remains no more a secret.
In the later 19th century, Hindu reform movements extended the chanting of the Gayatri Mantra beyond caste and gender limitations. In 1898, Swami Vivekananda began initiating non-Brahmins with the sacred thread ceremony and the Gayatri Mantra. He based this on the interpretations of the Vedas and Bhagavad Gita that Brahmin status is earned and not hereditary. The Arya Samaj notably spread the teaching that recitation of the mantra was not limited to males, but that women could rightfully be taught both the Vedas and the Gayatri Mantra. In his writings, S. Radhakrishnan encouraged the teaching of Gayatri mantra to men and women of all castes.
“The Gayatri Mantra is essentially a prayer for self-transformation and the inspiration to inculcate higher personal attributes. It is a prayer for grace of illumined intellect, creative knowledge, higher ideals, universal virtues, balanced mind, truthful living, awakened consciousness, and discerning wisdom for a meaningful journey of life.
It is a prayer for the infusion of determination, effort, and aspiration to experience inner brilliance and cultivate the attitude of giving, like the sun, for the good of others. It is a prayer to stimulate understanding of unity of existence -- connected world, connected humanity, and one truth.
It is a prayer for motivation of an honest and compassionate life of freedom forged with universal values to be remembered, prized, and practiced in daily life. The Gayatri, in spirit, is a recipe for success to reach our material, moral, and spiritual wholeness without stress.
Meditation on the mantra with full understanding of its essence is a highly transformative personal experience for beneficial changes in life. Energy is not dissipated in mundane affairs but channeled for innovative solutions, an honest work ethic, humility, intelligence, and a reasoned commitment to live a life of contentment. It is the yoga for personal peace and a Life free of prejudices, anger, dismay and differences.” The Gayatri Mantra © Mohan K.

Using kraken2, I did two classification tasks on the same sample: one using kraken2 standard database which includes homo sapiens, and the other using a custom database built by kraken2 that doesn't contains homo sapiens. Of the 29 millions reads, I get 16k reads on bacteria when using the standard database (with HS). When using the custom database without HS I get 1.06 million reads on bacteria.
My question is: what should I believe? There is clearly a human contamination in the sample, but when I ignore it in classification I get much more bacterial reads, and much more diversity too. But I am tempted to put my money on the classification using bacteria and human, as for me the read count difference must come from some sequence homology between human and bacteria, where some reads are favored to human when both targets are available.
What do you think? Does my impression fits with kraken's internal alignment algorithm? | <urn:uuid:b0002cd4-099f-486a-b3f0-2ff0bdca9731> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.biostars.org/p/380889/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.930691 | 207 | 1.5 | 2 |
- Helps Maintain Normal Gastrointestinal Balance
- Provides Concentrated Immunoglobulins to Enhance Mucosal Immunity
- Supports Digestion and Micronutrient Absorption
- Maintains GI Barrier Health and Integrity
SIBO is a condition that occurs when there is an overabundance of commensal bacteria from the colon present in the small intestine. The health of the small intestines relies on balanced microbiota, and probiotics and immunoglobulins can contribute to that balance by having a positive influence on the intestinal environment, including pH, organism diversity, and immune signaling.
Probiotics have been extensively studied and are characterized as having broad GI and immune benefits. Probiotics are live organisms and must be shelf stable through the expiration date, so they can be precisely delivered to the intestinal tract to have maximum benefit. Bacillus spores remain dormant in harsh environments until they reach more favorable environments like the human gastrointestinal tract. The combination of specific strains, particularly Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus clausii, and Bacillus subtilis, relieve symptoms for common GI complaints and reinforce healthy gut function.
In the search for innovative ways to improve microbiome diversity, we have combined our blend of spore-forming probiotics alongside immunoglobulins uniquely shown to bind to bacteria and toxins, driving immune response. IgG helps to maintain a healthy intestinal immune system by binding a broad range of microbes and toxins within the gut lumen.
3 capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
Bacillus coagulans has been shown to increase the commensal GI microbiota. B. coagulans also significantly improved bowel movements in healthy adults with occasional constipation, as well as decreased abdominal discomfort.
B. clausii is commonly used as a probiotic to promote balance in the microbiome and has showed promising results in individuals with SIBO.
Bacillus subtilis has been shown to relieve GI distress in patients.
Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulins
Broad-spectrum binding capabilities demonstrate the positive influence of serum-derived bovine immunoglobulins. This binding and elimination decreases microbe and toxin encounters by the immune system and resets immune tolerance.

You know your laptop can do a lot, but you might not always know all the details that tell you how to do it. Case in point: How the heck do you add a second or third display to your computer?
Tom's Guide forum user ziyan.tejani1107 is trying to figure out this very problem.
I have an Acer Aspire V Nitro 17.3 laptop with a GTX 965m graphics card. I currently have it connected to an external monitor via a HDMI cable. I want to connect a second external display (1080p 60hz) to my laptop. I have multiple USB 3.0 ports, and I have a USB C (Thunderbolt 3) port available. How could I connect my other display to my laptop? Which cable would I need and would I need any adapters? Am I actually able to have 2 external displays usable for my laptop at once?
This isn't an uncommon question. No matter how nice the display is on your laptop, even the best looking 17-inch display won't offer the view-filling real estate that a larger display will. While we might love 4K displays and big-screen monitors, even a simple 20-inch, 1080p monitor will offer a big improvement over the display on your laptop.
But connecting your extra monitors may not be as simple as just plugging into an HDMI port. The vagaries of hardware and software support may leave some users out of luck when they try to add an extra display, or you might run into the simple (yet frustrating) problem of having one plug on your monitor and a different connection on your PC.
Whether or not you can connect a second or third display comes down to a few key factors:
The first question is whether or not your PC's hardware will support multiple monitors. If you've got a system that's only a few years old, you should be fine, since dual and triple displays are supported both by integrated graphics from Intel and AMD, as well as discrete graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia.
However, if you're using an older system, or a current system that uses low-end processing and graphics hardware, you may run into some limitations.
Since ziyan.tejani1107 has a laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M graphics card, it's safe to say that it should be able to support a second, external monitor.
The next issue is more obvious: You need to make sure that your monitor uses the same connection as the video outputs on the PC. HDMI is common, but it's not unusual to see systems that rely on DisplayPort (both full size and mini), DVI or Thunderbolt 3 instead. Older systems may also offer VGA output. If you don't have a matching connection, you won't even be able to plug in a second monitor. This becomes an even larger issue when you're connecting a third display, as the primary video connection will already be in use, leaving you to make do with whatever connections are still available.
Most monitors are also compatible with multiple connection types, but you may need to invest in a new cable or even an adapter in order to match the display with the computer's available outputs. These vary in cost, from $10 to well over $100, depending upon the connections involved, and ordering online will inevitably include waiting for a package to be shipped to you. If you want to get a second monitor up and running right away, make sure you have the necessary cable or adapter ahead of time.
In ziyan.tejani1107's case, the laptop has an HDMI port that is in use, leaving a USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 connection as the remaining video output. This is where things get a little tricky, because we don't know what connection is used on the second external display they want to connect. If it's a newer model that offers USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, then plugging in should be a straightforward matter. If it uses the far more common HDMI or DisplayPort, however, then an adapter will be needed. A quick search of Amazon or Newegg for "Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI adapters" will yield plenty of options that will work.
Another excellent option is to use a Thunderbolt 3 docking station. These are small accessories that connect to a single port, but offer multiple connectivity options. Think of it as a multiple port adapter, which frequently includes video outputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort. In addition, a good dock will offer extra USB ports and frequently, an SD card slot, making them a great choice for PCs that don't have all of the connections you want built in.
Once you've got your monitor connected, you may still need to adjust your settings in order for the extra display to work properly. You can usually do this right from the desktop, either by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Display Settings or the Windows + P shortcut, which pulls up the menu for multiple displays.
On some systems that use discrete graphics, you'll need to make these setting changes in the GPU settings instead of through the operating system. On an Nvidia-based machine, you can do this by right-clicking the desktop and selecting Nvidia Control Panel. In the control panel menus, where several options will be listed under Display, find the entry for multiple displays, and it will walk you through the process of adding screens.
On AMD-based PCs, you can do the same through AMD's Catalyst Control Center dashboard, which can also be accessed by right-clicking the desktop. In Catalyst, select Displays Manager, and you can again add or remove displays.
Generally speaking, you'll want to extend your desktop to all connected monitors, and then adjust the resolution for each monitor individually so that text and icons display correctly on each. You'll also want to make sure that the order of monitors set in your control panel matches the physical setup you have on your desk — otherwise, you'll run into issues as you try to move windows from one screen to another.
Finally, you may want to think about how you intend to use your multimonitor setup. Pretty much anything that supports multiple monitors will be able to handle documents and web browsing across two or three screens, but once you throw gaming or other graphically intensive uses into the mix, you may hit a wall.
Here the question isn't so much, "Will the monitors work?" but whether or not you can support those external displays while still getting the sort of performance you want. Driving a high-resolution display for basic use is easy enough, but driving multiple displays at high resolution in a game dramatically increases the amount of work your GPU has to do.
A high-powered graphics card may be able to handle it without breaking a sweat, but if you're running an older card, such as ziyan.tejani1107's Nvidia GTX 965M, you may actually find that gaming performance drops off when the game is running on more than one display. Take the time to try out games individually, and be ready to dial down the eye candy – running a game at lower resolution, or with less demanding settings can be the difference between playing on one screen, or playing on three. | <urn:uuid:54acc328-2769-4145-82b5-5f2f7e97b3f9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/adding-multiple-display | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.941125 | 1,499 | 1.953125 | 2 |
Downhole Tool Manufacturing And Design
The nicely take a look at engineer evaluations detailed preparations for every service, for instance, tool operating stress calculations and the installation of rupture discs, together with the witnessing of the rupture disc manufacturing data. , gauge failure, poor data quality, contaminated or poor samples, are the result of either human error or mechanical failure. Considering some of these examples, guns may misfire as a result of the operator inserted an incorrect firing pin or failed to make a correct booster termination. Alternatively, the procedure might need specified an incorrect fluid parameter, with the end result that the operator based mostly the firing head calculation on incorrect knowledge.
While these elements are typically glass or carbon epoxy, thermoplastic resins such as PEEK and PPS are additionally being considered for his or her higher environmental resistance. Lessons realized usually point to the shortage of, or failure to implement, controls within the strategy planning stage, pre mobilization or during preparation at the properly website. These controls embrace contractor equipment inspections previous to mobilization and preoperational checks at the nicely site. These controls require that the well take a look at engineer use his or her knowledge of the test equipment to ensure the gear is match for purpose.
If the pressure depletes and it's thought-about economically viable, a man-made raise method mentioned within the completions part may be employed. The earliest oil wells in fashionable occasions were drilled percussively, by repeatedly elevating and dropping a cable software into the earth. In the 20th century, cable instruments have been largely changed with rotary drilling, which may drill boreholes to a lot greater depths and in less time.
No fewer thantwo dozenscientific studies have concluded that fracking does not pose a serious risk to groundwater. Several state departments of environmental safety have also put in air screens at nicely websites and found that emissions throughout oil and pure fuel improvement don't exceed public well being thresholds. The RTTS packer has been some of the used and well-known service packers in the trade for over 60 years. These Halliburton packers have been run efficiently in over 100 thousand jobs in just about each country oil and gas is produced. Reliability and durability is what makes operators ask for them by name - some are still in wellbores which have been working continuously for so long as 29 years.
The document-depth Kola Borehole used a mud motor whereas drilling to realize a depth of over 12,000 metres (39,000 ft). In 1846, Baku (settlement Bibi-Heybat) the primary ever nicely was drilled with percussion tools to a depth of 21 metres (69 ft) for oil exploration. In 1848, the primary modern oil properly was drilled on the Absheron Peninsula north-east of Baku, by Russian engineer F.N. IPAA is the business’s strongest presence in the nation’s capital and these are necessary times. The entire oil and gasoline business remains beneath fire from anti-improvement teams; but with these challenges come up distinctive alternatives that IPAA is seizing for our members.
All being properly, the software will take away the broken piece of meeting or other blockage with it out of the well, quickly and effortlessly resolving the issue. While planning and drilling a well, operators are often faced with numerous challenges similar to downhole pressure and equivalent circulating density (ECD), directional and formation tendencies, BHA evaluation, and optimum wellbore placement. that is situated to isolate the decrease a part of the wellbore) are used, this drilling becomes a time-consuming process. Other parts fabricated from composites used in cementing operations, include squeeze packers, touchdown collars and liner wiper plugs and pack off inserts.
Downhole tools would possibly fail to cycle because the operator inserted an incorrect rupture disc; or the rupture disc may need a producing flaw and fail to operate according to specification. Gauges may fail because of the operator's erroneous programming parameter; excessive temperature or gun shock may be the trigger. It is essential to notice that each one the downhole instruments should be calibrated within the laboratory before transportation to the properly test site. The downhole tools commonly utilized by the geothermal industry embody these described in the following subsections.
For nicely site operations, a crew of two downhole software specialists is normally sufficient to conduct the operation. Two complete units of tools with spares is normal in the occasion of a downhole failure and the need to have a set of tools ready instantly to re-run. improvement wells are wells drilled for the manufacturing of oil or gasoline already confirmed by appraisal drilling to be suitable for exploitation. As long as the stress in the reservoir remains high enough, the production tree is all that's required to provide the nicely. | <urn:uuid:d8ad48a4-4fe4-416f-97bd-a5bd5861a211> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wingoil.com/downhole-tool-manufacturing-and-design | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570921.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809094531-20220809124531-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.952107 | 971 | 1.75 | 2 |
Happiness and positive thought champion Leo Bormans is to give a public talk at the University of Malta’s Sir Temi Zammit Hall on June 1.
People who think positively see more opportunities
Mr Bormans, a Belgian journalist and motivational speaker, is the editor of the bestseller The World Book of Happiness, a collection of 100-odd short essays about happiness written by the world’s leading experts in positive psychology.
Designed to challenge myths about happiness and positivity, it answers questions such as “Are rich people happier than the poor?”, “Are married couples happier than single people?”, “Which countries report being the happiest?”, or “Can happiness be learned?”
Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, was so inspired by the book that last December he sent out a copy of the English edition to all world leaders as a New Year’s gift. He hoped to encourage leaders to make people’s happiness and wellbeing a political priority for 2012.
In the accompanying letter, he wrote: “Positive thinking is no longer something for drifters, dreamers and the perpetually naive. Positive psychology concerns itself in a scientific way with the quality of life. At stake are not only the happiness and well-being of individuals, but also those of groups, organisations and countries.”
“People who think positively see more opportunities, perform better, possess greater resilience, take more often correct and sound decisions, negotiate better, have more self-confidence, maintain better relations, take greater responsibility, have more trust placed in them,” Van Rompuy continued. “Positive education, positive parenting, positive journalism, and positive politics play a crucial role.”
The debate on happiness and wellbeing has come to the fore in many societies as they live the worst economic crisis since World War II.
In late February, the UK’s Office for National Statistics published its analysis of experimental subjective well-being data from the annual population survey (April to September 2011).
British Prime Minister David Cameron had announced last year his government would channel the information to guide policy makers under a strategy that would use happiness as a better measure of how the country was faring in tough times.
In the past, happiness polls have placed Malta everywhere from first to 38th place in the rankings.
Happiness has been discovered everywhere, even in the least affluent and most hostile places on earth.
One survey found the population of the kingdom of Bhutan – 800,000 people living in one of the poorest countries in the world – to be among the happiest. Bhutan’s Prime Minister Jigme Y. Thinley has just participated in the UN summit on happiness in New York, while a first UN report on World Happiness discusses ways to design an economic system that factors in happiness.
Carol Graham, senior fellow at the University of Maryland’s Brookings Institute and a contributor to The World Book of Happiness, explained how a survey had found that 81 per cent of Afghans had been smiling a day before they were interviewed. In a country at war almost uninterruptedly for more than 30 years, respondents across eight regions showed an overall high level of happiness. Adaptation to crime and corruption appeared to be the key.
One of the key notes to Carol Graham’s essay – each of the essays in the book comes with three “keys” – stresses that there seems to be strong similarities in what determines happiness across humankind, regardless of the contextual environment: age, health, employment and income.
Leo Bormans has been working for the Belgian government on active citizenship, empowerment, communication, positive education, and positive journalism for more than 20 years, besides working for Unesco in Belgium. His initiatives have inspired many organisations and policy-makers. He supports the international movement for Happiness and Quality of Life, is ambassador of several organisations, and lectures all over the world.
Mr Bormans has been invited to Malta by Leading Talks, the organisers of events featuring such personalities as leadership trainer Vivianne Amar. Mr Bormans’s talk is being held in collaboration with the Philosophy Society, and the Research, Innovation and Development Trust, both of the University of Malta. A discussion will be moderated by Prof. Joe Friggieri. The event begins at 9.30 a.m.

The glow of the city silhouettes the Brooklyn Bridge as the structure reaches diagonally across the East River in the background. The bridge is dotted with artificial lights that pierce the black background of the darkened cityscape. Snow-covered rooftops in the foreground reflect ambient light and cause the overlapping city buildings to read as a cacophony of geometric shapes.Physical Description

Nearly 10% of reproductive age women are affected by endometriosis globally, a condition in which the uterine tissue grows ectopically, resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. The peritoneal fluid (PF) surrounding ectopic endometrial tissue contains T helper 17 (Th17) cells. The number of Th17 cells in PF increases with disease severity; however, their function in endometriosis is unknown.
Recently, Jiang et al. used flow cytometry to detect and sort subpopulations of Th17 cells from the PF of patients with moderate to severe endometriosis. The researchers characterized several subsets of Th17 cells that could ultimately be defined by the presence or absence of four chemokine receptors, CCR4, CCR6, IL-17RE, and CD27. The presence of IL-17RE in particular correlated with an increase in Th17 cells in G1 and S-G2/M phase, suggesting increased cell proliferation. RNA-seq was used to further characterize this Th17 cellular subset. The authors found an increase in oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain-related gene expression, which was validated with the Azure Cielo™ 3, thus identifying a pathological signature of a subset of Th17 cells associated with the disease. Additional experiments demonstrated an increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and reactive oxygen species (ROS), consistent with a role in mitochondrial respiration.
This work highlights the power of using gene expression analysis to characterize novel cellular subtypes relevant to disease. Next steps include determining whether the increase in ATP and ROS levels is a cause or effect of severe endometriosis. Interestingly, in mouse models of autoimmune kidney disease, decreased IL-17RE expression reduced the overall amount of Th17 cells, thus indicating a possible therapeutic target. | <urn:uuid:4eb6dac8-bedd-40a1-a001-5b54c84d018e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://azurebiosystems.com/blog/interleukin17receptor/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.919821 | 374 | 2.296875 | 2 |

U.S. House of Representatives Passes PDUFA Reauthorization That Includes Drug Shortages Provisions
On May 30, the U.S. House of Representatives, by a vote of 387-5 passed the Food and Drug Administration Reform Act of 2012, H.R. 5651, commonly referred to as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) Reauthorization, a legislative package of important Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provisions including one to prevent and mitigate national drug shortages. Last week, the U.S. Senate passed a separate PDUFA reauthorization bill that also addresses the drug shortage issue.
Title IX of the House PDUFA reauthorization includes specific requirements for enhanced manufacturer notification to FDA that would enable the agency to use its existing authority to respond in a timely fashion to a manufacturer's decision to halt or interrupt production of a key drug.
Other provisions in Title IX of the PDUFA reauthorization would authorize the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to process expedited inspections and reviews of drug applications and manufacturing facilities if such actions could help alleviate or mitigate pending drug shortages. ASA was pleased to see that that the Committee included language to "require the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to provide timely approvals or denials of increases in quotas of controlled substances in instances where such an increase could help address a drug shortage." Also, the legislation requires a Government Accountability Office (GAO) Study to examine the issue of drug shortages.
With regard to future consideration of the legislation, the House version of PDUFA must now be reconciled with the Senate version of the measure. A number of differences will need to be addressed by lawmakers. The process of reaching agreement on the differences is expected to begin immediately.
Review the House legislation.

Pride is, at its core a celebration of life, and also a time of year where people reclaim their narrative from a society that doesn’t want them. Marsha P. Johnson was one of the giants that participated and helped start the modern Pride movement, in queer history people often reference this by saying Marsha P.

7. Guastavino Tunnel to the Lost Biltmore Hotel
Sometimes the most surprising finds are in the most unassuming places, like a parking garage. On a visit to Grand Central Terminal, Untapped Cities tour guide Justin Rivers noticed the famed arched herringbone pattern typical of Guastavino tile work, just like the famous ceiling of the Grand Central Oyster Bar. Research into this area revealed that it was once part of the Biltmore Hotel, a grand Whitney Warren and Charles Wetmore-designed structure that was built as part of “Terminal City,” a compound of hotels and other buildings connected to Grand Central Terminal that was proposed in the original plans by Charles A. Reed and Allen H. Stem, along with William Wilgus.
One of the hotel’s best amenities was the ease with which guests could come and go using the hotel’s connection to Grand Central Terminal. Guests of the Biltmore arriving at Grand Central Terminal would have their luggage collected from the train by porters and then they would travel via tunnel to an elevator in the hotel’s basement and be carried up into the hotel without ever having to step outside. The pathway leading into the tunnel from Grand Central Terminal is not marked — it is located on the western end of the Terminal, next to the Pylones store and the Transit Museum annex. | <urn:uuid:8029761b-3821-4d2f-8068-15c3b79522b0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://untappedcities.com/2022/08/03/hidden-places-grand-central/7/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572198.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815175725-20220815205725-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.957274 | 282 | 1.867188 | 2 |

Some Chipata residents have bemoaned persistent use of Cassava leaves, locally known as Katapa, to terminate pregnancies.
Abigail Sambo of an area called Feni reveals to Diamond News that most young people continue to indulge in unprotected sex and when girls fall pregnant, they opt to abort using Cassava leaves that are inserted in the cervix, a practice that she says has led to devastating consequences like death that she has witnessed so far.
Sambo says the vice is often perpetuated by adults that perform the unsafe methods on girls and young women and the vicious cycle has persisted in poor communities where many downplay awareness messages on unsafe abortion.
She made the comments during a sensitization meeting on Sexual Reproductive Health Rights and Social Accountability held by the Youth Development Foundation (YDF).- Diamond TV | <urn:uuid:fe4c3a9b-61d8-4436-91eb-8845e55a968a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://abortion-news.info/%EF%BB%BFchipata-teens-abusing-cassava-leaves-for-abortion/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.959841 | 177 | 2.140625 | 2 |
The Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen (1941)
Tuesday’s Tale of Terror, February 18, 2014 Women In Horror Month
‘Mrs. Drover’s mouth hung open for some seconds before she could issue her first scream.’
Dark imagery with a foreboding mood, supernatural events, sinister moments, and what lies beneath the surface of a haunted mind are all elements in this atmospheric ghost story. Some readers might find this more of a psychological thriller, but how would you judge the situation when a letter, with no post except the current date, suddenly appears on a hall table inside your locked and unattended house?
Mrs. Kathleen Drover returns to her closed London house to gather a few things before returning to her husband and children in the countryside when she discovers this odd letter addressed to her. She soon realizes this letter is from a former lover of many years ago who has died. Impossible for such a letter to exist, but there it is in black and white with the current date. Is there some power from the beyond happening? Or is she going just a little mad? She reads the letter:
Dear Kathleen: You will not have forgotten that today is our anniversary, and the day we said. The years have gone by at once slowly and fast. In view of the fact that nothing has changed, I shall rely upon you to keep your promise. I was sorry to see you leave London, but was satisfied that you would be back in time. You may expect me, therefore, at the hour arranged. Until then . K.
Promises made in the heat of the moment when young and full of desire have their own brutish powers, at least they do for Kathleen.
Author Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) often wrote about secrets and betrayal in her fiction, and a character’s psychological balance played enormously in all her work. Her most famous novel is The Heat of the Day and several collections of short stories.

“Updated” and “re-imagined” versions of classics often misfire but like the transformation of Romeo and Juliet into West Side Story, Eduardo Machado’s reworking of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata is one of the best. With Lysistrata Unbound, the Cuban playwright has transformed the comedy into a Greek tragedy for our own militarized times, but in doing so definitely retains the spirit - if not the letter - of Aristophanes’ biting 411 BCE satire, Just as Spike Lee did in Chi-Raq, his 2015 anti-gun, anti-gang violence adaptation of Lysistrata.
Unlike other “remakes” Machado’s rendition takes place in the original time and place, and the large cast wears period costumes designed by Denise Blasor and Josh La Cour. Mark Guirguis’ simple set includes Greek columns; courtesans and other Athenian women wear toga-like garments, while the men are mostly in warrior garb, although apparently with clever camouflaged shorts beneath their leather aprons or skirts (or whatever). As their haute couture is fairly revealing and Lysistrata Unbound also includes language and acts of a sexual nature, this candid production is not age appropriate for children.
Machado and director John Farmanesh-Bocca have accentuated the antiwar nature of the source work but stressed the tragic elements beyond Aristophanes’ comedic original. In doing so they seemed to have added elements of Aeschylus’ Greek tragedy Prometheus Bound. Another way they have emphasized the catastrophic is by making the lead character an ancient incarnation of Cindy Sheehan, the prophetic peace activist whose son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed during the Iraq War - a conflict even more unnecessary and mendacious than Athens’ clash of the titans with Sparta during the Peloponnesian War.
Desperate Housewives and Supergirl actress Brenda Strong joins the ranks of other screen stars - including Tom Hanks, Joe Morton, Jeremy Irons and Lesley Manville - currently treading the boards of L.A. stages in our theater-rich metropolis. The aptly named Strong is stupendous as Lysistrata, playing her as a desperate housewife/sister/mother who has lost loved ones to combat and is frantic to end not only the Peloponnesian but all wars forever. The title character is almost driven mad by her young son’s death - call it “post-Spartan depression.”
But her despair turns to anger and Lysistrata acts to end the senseless carnage. To do so, like a labor organizer of antiquity, Lysistrata orchestrates the most famous sit-down (or should I say “lay-down”?) strike in history. Like an avenging angel, the Athenian female who has lost a son, brother and husband to the war with Sparta prevails upon the wives, lovers and ultimately prostitutes of Athens to refuse to have sex with men until they lay (no pun intended) down their arms.

In his immortal Ode on a Grecian Urn British poet John Keats rhapsodized that: “Truth is beauty and beauty truth.” Here, Aristophanes and his 21st century counterpart Machado have put their finger on an essential, eternal truth that was articulated by 20th century pacifists as: “Make love, not war.” In Civilization and Its Discontents Freud counterpointed the Greek god of sexual attraction “Eros” against “Thanatos” - the Greek mythological personification of death, who was the son of Nyx (or in the 20th century, of Nixon, LOL!). Sex, the source of procreation, is the opposite of death, the end of life, and as such, is opposed to warfare.
Just as Cindy Sheehan discovered when she camped out near Bush’s pseudo-ranch in Texas, Lysistrata encounters a steep price is paid for publicly speaking out in a so-called “democracy.” For in ancient Greece as in 21st century America - which, in comparison with Athens, is weaponized and militarized on steroids, with about 750 overseas military bases bestriding the globe like a colossus - citizens have freedom of speech until the precise moment when they use their purported “right” in public against the powers that be. Then Lysistrata finds out just how “free” she really is - you know, like Kathy Griffin and Samantha Bee recently have in our feckless count-ry. You have rights - just don’t use them, because then you lose ’em.
Machado’s sexually frank Lysistrata Unbound also raises issues of same sex relations, particularly between the male warriors. Homoeroticism amongst the Greeks is often remarked upon, but it was hard for this reviewer to ascertain what the playwright’s point of view was regarding homosexuality. In particular, regarding the sex between the senior soldier/leader played by Apollo Dukakis (yes, he’s part of the same family as Oscar winner Olympia Dukakis and former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, 1988’s Democratic presidential nominee) and the much younger Hagnon (Jason Caceres) and Lysistrata’s son (Casey Maione). Is this play saying that these relations are simply a matter of a natural preference? Or, as Lysistrata implies, was her son victimized by sexual harassment from a higher ranking officer, making an ancient lament resonant with 2018’s #MeToo movement? Inquiring minds want to know.
Another standout in the large cast is WGTB veteran Aaron Hendry as the warrior Kinessias, demonstrating the great lengths men will go to in order to get laid, even if it means making the supreme sacrifice of developing a conscience and consciousness. The drama includes some expressionistic techniques and choreography that enhance the play’s conventional narrative style, choreoed by the multi-talented Farmanesh-Bocca.
Lysistrata Unbound is, along with Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage, one of the greatest antiwar plays of all time with a female protagonist. It is an Odyssey Theatre Ensemble production that was first read as part of the Getty Villa Lab Series in 2013. OTE is collaborating with Not Man Apart-Physical Theatre Ensemble on this one-acter that dramatizes once again that, as General Sherman pithily put it, “war is hell.” And whether it is at Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Africa or wherever U.S. imperialism decides to clone, bomb, invade next as part of its endless series of conquests, what is war “good for?” As Edwin Starr put it so well: “Absolutely nothing.”
Although this reviewer certainly can’t speak for him, one suspects that Aristophanes is smiling down from Mount Olympus upon this latest adaptation of his masterpiece that remains true in essence to his comedy that premiered about 2,400 years ago in Athens. Although given the fact that its theme, alas, remains all-too-relevant after all of these millennia, the playwright may be smacking his forehead in disbelief and chagrin.
Lysistrata Unbound plays Wednesdays (at 8:00 p.m. on July 11 and 25 only), Thursday (at 8:00 p.m. June 28 only) Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. through Aug. 4 at the Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S.
