Finding out your loved one is struggling with postpartum issues can lead to feelings of wanting to help, but being unsure of the best ways. Here are some suggestions:
Educate yourself on postpartum challenges and take them seriously. Helpful websites include Postpartum Support International, Postpartum Progress, and The National Institute of Mental Health.
Focus on empathizing, not fixing. The new parent needs someone to really hear them, not fix the situation. Helpful phrases include: “I know it may not feel like it right now, but you are a great parent”, “I know you will feel better because you are getting the help you deserve” and “You are doing a great job with ______ (be specific)“. Remind them that they are not the only parent to go through this.
Encourage them to get help. The three recommended forms of professional help for postpartum issues include individual therapy, group therapy, and talking to a doctor or midwife about potential medications. New parents may find other forms of support such as acupuncture helpful as well.
Make sure there is easily accessible food available. High-protein snacks can be especially beneficial. Nuts, string cheese, and hard-boiled eggs are all easy protein sources to keep on hand. Fresh fruit that does not take a lot of preparation is also good. Also, providing some meals for the freezer is nice. Sometimes making decisions such as what foods to buy or eat can feel overwhelming to a new parent, so consider setting up automated grocery delivery options for them.
Take over household chores so that they can just be with the baby. We know that skin-to-skin time is especially helpful for recovery, so making sure there is plenty of time for that bonding is essential. Instead of asking what they need help with, just jump on in. Doing a load of laundry, preparing meals, and running errands are all helpful. Take care of any pets. Play with other children if there are any in the household. Essentially do anything around the home that needs taking care of so that they can just focus on themselves and their baby.
Hire a postpartum doula. Postpartum doulas are especially helpful for those struggling with postpartum issues and some are also available to help overnight. Check out this website to learn everything a postpartum doula can assist with: http://www.dona.org/mothers/faqs_postpartum.php
Help them get as much sleep as possible. Be “on-duty” at night so that they can sleep. Aim for getting at least a 4 hour block of uninterrupted sleep. Consider a temporary sleep plan where they sleep alone in another room with earplugs, white noise, and no monitor so they can get a full night’s rest, if they feel that would be helpful. Sometimes parents do not want to be away from their babies, so make sure to not force this option on them.
Take care of yourself! It is also possible for non-birth parents to struggle with postpartum issues, especially if they get too run down. You will be unable to support your partner if your tank is running empty. Although you are taking on various responsibilities, ensure you are also getting food, rest, and support when you need it as well.
Postpartum challenges can be overcome with the right mixture of support, attentiveness, and treatment when needed.

Brinell hardness measurement is a rough measure of the material properties of a sample. It involves using a hard ball to indent the material being tested, and then measuring the size of the indentation. The larger the indentation, the softer the material is since the ball was able to penetrate deeper. Sounds pretty simple, right?
This process actually has many variables that can affect the end result.
The indentation can be performed using several different tools including a stationary air-driven press or a hand-pumped device that is clamped onto the item being tested.
When reading the indentation, many different methods can be used. The cheapest method uses a handheld microscope-like device with two vertical lines. The user lines up one of these lines with the edge of the indentation and then twists a knob to bring the other line to the opposite side. By reading the amount incremented by the knob, the diameter of the punch can be measured. From there, the associated hardness reading is looked up from a table. Obviously this method includes a lot of human factors such as vision, motion accuracy, and correctly interpreting the result.
In contrast, there are automated systems available which will capture an image of the indentation and calculate the hardness reading with minimal human influence.
Before indenting a surface, it must be smoothed using a grinder. This can be either a sand or stone based grinding wheel, and the grinding force applied can vary between inspectors performing the operation. This can work-harden the surface, and this effect depends on the original hardness of the material.
Our task was to determine how some of these variables affect the final hardness reading and propose solutions where needed.
The main focus of the project was the reading of the hardness punch. Different manufacturing cells used different methods of measuring the indentation diameter, so we wanted to see what kinds of errors resulted from each method. We devised a double-blind gage R&R test that had the inspectors check pre-punched samples using three methods of measurement: the manual scope and two competing automated systems.
To obtain known hardness values, we used calibration blocks straight from the manufacturer. These blocks had 5 punches already made with hardness values disclosed for each. We covered up the hardness values, randomly assigned a number to each block, and then randomized the order in which the blocks would be handed to the inspectors. The inspectors would then test each punch and announce the result, which we would record. Each block was tested at least 3 times by each inspector with each punch measuring method.
Once all the data was gathered, we were able to remove the masking tape from each block, revealing its true hardness. We then compared the readings from the inspectors to the known values to compute the error in hardness reading using statistical analysis methods such as ANOVA.
Another variable in the process is the way in which the surface is prepared. The two main kinds of grinding media are sand or stone, so these are the two that we tested. However, the user can exert any amount of force, which could potentially work harden the surface and skew the result.
Thus, we devised a test fixture that would measure the load applied by the grinder using a load cell. I set up a simple data acquisition system using National Instruments hardware and LabVIEW, and we had the inspector grind softly, with moderate force, and with great force on various samples. We correlated the load applied to the resulting hardness reading to determine the effect (if any) of grinding force and media.
Another factor that applies to work hardening the surface is the initial strength of the material. To test this, we got to use an industrial furnace to heat treat samples to achieve material properties ranging from very soft to very hard.
These samples were used in the grinding experiment to see how much the hardness could be changed by the grinding process based on the initial hardness of the material.
While I cannot disclose the results of the study (it’s GE proprietary information), I can say that I learned a lot about material properties and hardness testing from this project. I was able to use many aspects of engineering to come up with experiments to test various aspects of the hardness testing process, and I got to interface with inspectors, cell leaders, shop floor managers, master black belts, material scientists, and even the vice president of engineering.
I was pleased to receive the following feedback from my manager:
“Thank you for the work you did on your Green Belt project. Your ability to work with various functions and groups enabled you to gather valuable data that led to critical changes to improve the hardness reading process. The experience and knowledge you gained during this process will benefit you as you grow in your career. Thank you for putting forth a tremendous effort!” | <urn:uuid:55b6cab3-d931-4ea6-9249-30d449a21436> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.jeremyadamwilson.com/greenbelt-project/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.944933 | 984 | 3.890625 | 4 |
I first encountered the works of Berlin-based Turkish artist Ekin Su Koç at Step Istanbul, an art event that showcased the works of hundreds of different contemporary artists last November. The artist’s eye-catching collages, created with daily magazines, lace, and various other materials immediately appealed to me. While drawing inspiration from nature and human psychology, these collages transformed into a body with flowers or animals. They seemed to represent life itself and tell me stories at the same time.
Anna Laudel’s second gallery in Düsseldorf, Germany recently presented Koç’s solo exhibition titled âAltbauâ to art lovers. When I learned that the exhibition could be viewed online, I took the opportunity to once again enjoy the beauty and aesthetics of the artist’s pieces.
On the first floor of the gallery, plaster wall sculptures combining motifs from old Berlin apartments that offer visual richness and hand-made fabrics from nomads from the Aegean region of Turkey welcome visitors. Examining the concepts of identity and belonging through new materials in these works, Koç says these sculptures are designed as part of the old walls of the gallery space, which transforms them into site-specific pieces.
Anna Laudel’s German branch, which was launched in 2019, is housed in a renovated building with ancient architectural details. The word Altbau, which gives the exhibition its name, means “old apartment” in German and is used to describe, in particular, venerable structures with stucco ornaments. In this sense, the gallery building and the name and works of the exhibition constitute a triple parallelism with references to the history of art.
Koç’s wall sculptures seduce viewers with the power of contrasting materials. It is possible to read them with references to patriarchal and postcolonialist traces in everyday life via this contrast in their bodies. According to the artist, what excited her most about these hybrid works was using the trousseaux of Aegean women she did not know. While the elaborate fabrics chosen from these trousseaux bring breezes from Anatolian lands, the designs of the German apartments are reminiscent of plaster casts from the Roman Empire. Therefore, the pieces evoke both the feeling of an archaeological discovery and refer to a utopian world where all genres and cultures live together equally.
Koç is an artist who freely uses various types of materials in her works, as evidenced by her collages and wall sculptures. After graduation, the artist had the chance to visit several museums, fairs, galleries and attend workshops, residency programs abroad. Noting that all these experiences gave her intellectual freedom, she said that old weavings, decorated fabrics, synthetic silks, laces, plants, epoxy, reflective foils, neon lights and plaster are among the materials that she uses professionally. She hinted that there is a long list of other materials that she wants to experiment with. âMy material changes mainly depending on the content of my work,â she added.
As I have an eye for free-spirited artists, it was not surprising for me to understand Koç’s desire for liberation in his art. His reflections were visible in his works from the first moment. Tracing the artist’s emancipated steps at Anna Laudel, I saw the artist’s collage works, which are my favorite, and canvases in different areas of the first floor. The collages belong to Koç’s âSomeoneâ and âMultiple Identitiesâ series while the canvases belong to the âCorrected Storytellingsâ series, which focuses on human relationships with nature.
“Moon or Mars”
After reviewing the details of Koç’s collage works with immense admiration, another series caught my attention during the exhibition. Created with dried plants and featuring various vanity symbols, these circular canvases were so intense that time seemed to stand still for me. The epoxy covering on the plants and the symbols make the figures appear on the canvases as if they were frozen in time.
These works from the artist’s âMoon or Marsâ series tell a story similar to wall sculptures. While the sculptures fictionalize a utopian world, the epoxy coated canvases create another planet with misty dystopian landscapes. Questioning the future of the Anthropocene era in one respect, in the Koç series following an urge triggered by a question asked by Commissioner Ipek YeÄinsü: “What would it be if we could start a new life on other planets?”
Reading and researching about the Anthropocene era and the destruction of nature during that time, she envisioned the possibility of creating a different environment, leaving behind culture and consumer habits to start a new life on a new planet.
âAt that time, I began to paint hazy and shapeless landscapes in an unfamiliar atmosphere on my circular canvases, seeing them as the surface of the moon. Then I sprinkled images of ancient sculptures, cultural relics, collages of colorful figures, birds and dry plants as symbols of nature on these canvas surfaces and covered them with epoxy. In this way, it was as if these figures and plants were transported into space with all their colors and tried to start over. The epoxy created a feeling of being frozen in time, âKoç said.
Although the subject of the impressive “Moon or Mars” series was developed after a process of reflection inspired by YeÄinsü, Koç mainly reflects his own observations obtained from personal mood swings and the social effects behind these swings in his. art. Tracing the artist’s work would allow us to better understand his themes. As her series “Heirloom” focused on the concept of family with the combination of old black and white family photographs collected from abandoned migrant homes and laces knitted by the artist’s grandmother, Koç revealed the duality of the notions of belonging to a family or a society and being an individual. The theme of her series âAntibodyâ developed when her concept of family became intertwined with the health issues the artist experienced. Her series “Happy at Nowhere” is inspired by her feelings when she moved to another country with references to the themes of migration and a sense of belonging.
âThe information I learned for the first time is also inspiring to me,â said the artist. She added: “For example, when I first heard that the word story was not generally preferred as it is a combination of words from her story and refers to male-dominated dating, j I was amazed, which gave me great inspiration to rethink and produce the concept of gender.
Whatever the subject and theme, Koç tries to share an emotion or draw the viewers’ attention to concepts that need to be changed through the materials and forms of his works. Among these emotions, childlike innocence, being able to love and find another incomplete or undefined beautiful body and find a moment to reflect on the concepts of nature, belonging and identity without judgment comes to the fore.
The artist finally spoke of the difficult days that the art world is going through because of the coronavirus. Explaining that the psychological and material burden of the period is a bit difficult, Koç hinted that it was very exciting and very valuable that the Anna Laudel Gallery provided a 3D digital solution for her solo exhibition. You can visit Koç’s fascinating exhibition from the comfort of your home via a link on the gallery website until January 16, 2021. The gallery also accepts visitors by appointment as part of preventive health measures for a safe visit of the gallery. | <urn:uuid:77c6df7b-8e9e-4b2d-99e5-67ae7e1d9171> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://housefans.net/an-art-lovers-impressions-of-the-art-and-creativity-of-ekin-su-koc/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.966983 | 1,606 | 1.859375 | 2 |
Changes impacting storage are taking place at every layer of the network architecture: Disk drives are continuing on a Moore’s law-like cost/capacity curve, yet concurrently we are also seeing the growth of solid-state technology to overcome the inherent performance limitations of mechanical disk; virtualization is changing how architects think about storage, as we now have operating systems running entirely in user space within a virtual machine; and applications are choosing HTTP over FC as the preferred storage protocol.
Given the changes taking place today, emerging file systems are employing new methods to address scalability, parallelism and new workload types.
While these changes are impacting storage and it is extremely important to understand where we are today, storage administrators also need to look forward to prepare for future changes. Consider this: Storage capacity is increasing by 40 percent every year, and while 2-TB disk drives are a commodity today, their performance characteristics — such as seek time and reliability — have not improved proportionately. Solid state drives will address this, revolutionizing storage within a few years; therefore, file systems will need to support hybrid environments.
The Network Layer
In the network layer, a few critical shifts have taken place that are relevant to this discussion. IDE and SCSI have merged into SAS, crossing the 6-Gbps threshold. Infiniband and 10 GbE have improved network I/O over 100 times via Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and TCP offload engines, and iSCSI is replacing FC SAN (Fibre Channel storage area network). Unlike traditional applications that use protocols such as NFS and CIFS, Internet scale applications naturally use HTTP(s) to access geographically distributed storage.
Compounding the capacity and network layer issues is that at the API layer, we still have the 30-year-old POSIX API designed for disk file systems. Its strength as a standard is also its weakness, as innovation is being held back by the requirement to support it. Strengthening this claim and illustrating the obvious need for innovation, note that application developers require new API standards for object storage and key-value pair access to data.
Features such as volume-management, global namespace, compression, encryption, clone/snapshot, de-duplication, RAID and remote site replication should be the responsibility of the file system. Primarily due to the evolutionary design of Linux, these features, however, are implemented outside the filesystem, making them inefficient and complicated.
The Kernel Space vs. User Space Debate
The long-running kernel space versus user space debate centered on performance concerns that are no longer valid. Context switches are no longer an issue because latency in other parts of the stack and in the network are the limiting factors. Emerging file systems implemented in user space should be taken seriously. Low level components like device drivers and the disk file system should reside inside the kernel, but it is time to implement the bulk of the code in user space.
For example, scalable implementations such as Hadoop and GlusterFS are entirely in user space. The Filesystem in User space (FUSE) interface enables these scalable implementations and the existence of over 100 FUSE-based file systems, both serious and fun, demonstrates the validity.
What’s Changing and What’s New
- File Systems for Direct Attached Storage (DAS). The Linux file system of choice is Ext3 as it is by far the most stable option. However, it is now worth considering Ext4 (with kernel v2.6.31 or higher) because it addresses limitations such as file and directory size limits, extent based allocation for efficiently storing large files, fast fsck (file system check) and journal check-summing. However, Ext4 is only a stop-gap solution.
The Linux community would welcome ZFS support for Linux, and Btrfs (B-tree filesystem) brings ZFS-like capabilities to the Linux kernel. Btrfs is more than just a disk filesystem as it manages software raid, volume management, cloning/snapshotting and compression, and it allows volumes to grow or shrink dynamically across multiple disks.
RAID 1+0 (or10) is a mirrored data set currently supported with RAID5/6 parity protection in development. Btrfs RAID can rebuild from a failed array faster than hardware RAID controllers since it only re-stripes used data blocks, and snapshots takes less space and time compared to device-mapper snapshots. Btrfs is positioned to replace Ext4 as the default filesystem for Linux. Chris Mason from Oracle is the primary contributor to this project, and its development is independent from ZFS.
- Network File Systems. Introduced in 1995, NFSv3 is by far the most widely adopted NAS protocol, supported by all server operating systems (except Microsoft Windows) and storage vendors. In 2000, NFSv4 introduced incremental enhancements but did not achieve widespread adoption. Things should be very different for NFSv4.1 (pNFS) as it brings a much needed parallel I/O architecture and also adds RDMA support for low-latency high-bandwidth I/O.
This is a major advancement for NFS, allowing users to move to a scale-out architecture. It’s design,however, is based on a centralized metadata server that can limit scalability and potentially be a single point of failure. Mainstream adoption is still a few years out, but in the interim there are options that address the scalability issues of NFSv3/4. By integrating NFS on top of a proven clustered file system with virtual-IPs and round-robin DNS techniques, one can build a scalable NAS solution.
Examples include Oracle Lustre, IBM GPFS, and GlusterFS. Additionally, Isilon and Panasas have proprietary server side implementations, but the approach is similar. Samba also deserves a brief mention, as Version 4 is a major rewrite with full Active Directory domain controller capability, and a less chatty SMB2 protocol compared to v3. Version 4 is currently in alpha, but will scale across multiple servers using a clustered file system backend and virtual IP/DNS techniques.
- Clustered/Distributed File Systems. Clustered or distributed file systems bring a global namespace spanning multiple storage servers, intelligently spreading I/O and data to overcome the scalability limitations of NFS (and CIFS). Vendors implemented their own internal protocols; however, this is transparent to applications as shared storage is accessed via a standard POSIX interface and volumes appear as large shared storage.
Again Lustre, GPFS and GlusterFS are a few examples. The main architectural difference between these is how metadata is handled. Lustre uses a centralized metadata server, GPFS has a distributed metadata server model, and GlusterFS uses a no-metadata model. Understanding how metadata is handled is a key criterion in decision-making when selecting a clustered file system, but that is the subject of a different article.
Another difference is Lustre and GPFS are implemented in the kernel, while GlusterFS is in user space. These examples implement the key storage stack features mentioned earlier within the file system section above. All of these file systems scale to multiple petabytes.
- Distributed Object Storage/Key-Value Pair. Many modern applications require simple object API access to storage such as get/put, get/put property, lock/unlock and perhaps a few more APIs. Object access allows memory and disk to be treated as persistent blocks of information via serialization.
Most data processing functionality (i.e. XML parsing, hash table, text search, etc.) has moved to higher level application libraries. Object storage APIs are also suitable for building “NoSQL” scalable databases.
There is no standard for object storage access today, although WebDAV, Hadoop, Apache Cassandra, and Amazon proprietary S3 follow the model. These are good options if building a new application, but until standardization occurs, POSIX APIs will be a necessary evil and a multiprotocol approach is the way to go.
Data storage is expected to grow to over 1,800 exabytes by 2012. To prepare for this massive growth, the key challenges that any organization will need to address are scalability, parallelism, and ensuring the ability to run new workload types.
Emerging Linux file system technologies are worth serious consideration, as they are positioned to solve these issues while at the same time commoditizing and transforming the storage market.

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The decision by Uganda National Bureau of Standards-UNBS to regulate the standard of edible insects has generated mixed reactions from grasshopper consumers and dealers in greater Masaka region.
In its draft standards tabled in September, UNBS notes that given the increasing trade in edible insects and their products, there is need for standards to regulate their quality.
The draft specifically mentions ants and grasshoppers, which are common delicacies in Masaka and other parts of the country.
The move has drawn criticism from dealers and consumers of edible insects, saying they were never consulted.
Quraish Katongole, the chairperson old Masaka Basenene Association Limited, an umbrella body for grasshopper hunters, says as key stake holders in the business of edible insects they were not involved in the development of the proposed standards.
He cites provisions requiring them to state the date of packaging, country of origin, expiry date and physical address of the distributor and wonders how UNBS will be able to monitor all these requirements.
Katongole says that edible insects are widely harvested and some tapped on bulbs, which might make it difficult to determine their origin.
Hadadi Mugonza, a grasshopper hunter in Lwengo district, says they exercise a lot of caution at the time of catching edible insects to avoid contamination of grasshoppers because of their customers in Kampala want live insects, which ensures safety.
He says that if UNBS is interested in maintaining standards of the edible insects, the standard body should consider those who process them, where there is high chance of contamination.
Bushirah Nampijja, a grasshopper dealer in Masaka town, says she has no issues with the move to ensure standards for the edible insects because some of the people involved in catching grasshoppers don’t mind about the breeding areas and the material they use to catch the insects, which may be dangerous to consumers of theses insects.
She asks UNBS to engage all those involved in the business and sensitize them about the proposed standards.
Paul Jjunju, a Consumer of grasshoppers says before the bureau moves to control the standards of edible insects where they are packaged from and caught they should think of where these insects come from because the breeding places could be dangerous.
Vienne Ndugga, another grasshopper dealer in Masaka town, says that it may be hard to enforce standards of edible eats because the breeding places and selling points are spread all over the country.
Godwin Bonge Muhwezi, the head of Public relations at UNBS, says there is need for all edible insects whether farmed or harvested from the wild to meet the standards that are being designed by UNBS so as to minimize contamination and improve their habitability.
He says there is need to brand the insects and provide details about the processors, packaging and expiry dates. He says UNBS is still developing the standards and will present them for public discussion before they are enforced. | <urn:uuid:1cbbb00a-3698-4176-9782-9b96767af11e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.independent.co.ug/proposed-regulation-of-standards-of-edible-insects-generates-mixed-reactions/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.954813 | 632 | 2.0625 | 2 |

Your “Juneteenth” is Not Welcome
Dear Ted Harris: Black folks don’t want your culturally-appropriated ice cream. If you want to promote real emancipation, there’s something else you can do.
Social media was swift in expressing its outrage over the cultural appropriation of a “Juneteenth” ice cream popping up in WalMart (blech!) stores this week — its red velvet and cheesecake swirled flavors billed as a celebration of “African American culture, emancipation and enduring hope.”
How can it possibly be any of those things when the word “Juneteenth” was being trademarked (read: co-opted, stolen) by some white dude named Ted Harris, the board chairman & chief executive officer of the multi-billion-dollar Balchem corporation. Ain’t nothing celebratory about white folks yet again taking something that belongs to or was created by Black people (Read: rock n’ roll, hair styles, hair products, our cultural clothing styles and foods; our land, our lips, our hips…hip hop!) and profiting from it.
Harris, according to Atlanta trademark attorney LaDawn Blackett Jones (@lbjtok), applied to trademark “Juneteenth” on September 2, 2021 several months after Joe Biden instituted June 19th as a national holiday — the date commemorating the emancipation of African-Americans from enslavement — to be used as “Flavor enhancers used in food and beverage products; Bakery goods and dessert items, namely cakes, cookies, pastries, and frozen confections for retail and wholesale distribution and consumption on or off the premises.”
After some further digging, it doesn’t appear that Harris or Balchem has attempted to trademark Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Halloween, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, or the 4th of July.
So, why Juneteenth?
Because it’s a Black thing…and it’s now in fashion.
Although Black people have been celebrating Juneteenth for generations, the majority of Americans had never heard of the holiday until 2020 following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and too many others, and the protests that raged throughout the summer of 2020 seeking racial justice and prompting racial reckonings within institutions, organizations and companies across the country. The call for change was loud and clear.
Yet, it is not “hope” but rather more of the same bullshit when we see, once again, what is ours used to advance the wealth and regard of white folks. Of course, part of the American experiment has always been dependent on crushing the bodies and souls of Black people.
As a republic founded on the self-evident truths that “all men are created equal; endowed by their creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” this powerful philosophically and moral foundation was authored by — and for — rich, white land-owning, slave-owning men who never considered people of color or women to be privy to those constitutional freedoms…and women still aren’t until the ERA becomes law.
But I digress.
In her 2020 essay for The Helm, Rachel Elizabeth Cargle, this supremist “power play” is how white people have long capitalized on Black culture: “There is a saying that goes “Ghetto until proven fashionable.” From gold hoop earrings to long acrylic nails and cornrow braids, various aspects of everyday Black culture often start with derogatory criticism until the white gaze finds value in and ultimately capitalizes on it,” she writes.
In 2014, there was Khloe Kardashian putting bantu knots in her hair, meanwhile, a nine-year-old student was told her own afro puffs were “unacceptable” and violated the school dress code. In 2016 there was Marc Jacobs sending white models down the runway in dreadlocks, despite Black women being discriminated against for the same “unprofessional” hairstyle. In 2017, there was the Gucci vs. Dapper Dan controversy, where the conversation of appropriation was jolted into the mainstream after several fans of the Harlem designer recognized his style of clothing walking down the Gucci runway. Eventually, Gucci partnered directly with Dapper Dan and many viewed this as a “gift” from the Italian fashion house, but in reality, it was what was owed to him for the value that Gucci reaped from his intellectual property and unofficial creative consultation. And then in 2019, there was the Sephora and Moschino collaboration for an office supply-themed makeup line that was a direct replication of The Crayon Case beauty brand founded by Raynell “Supa Cent” Steward.
Cargle, in her instruction to entrepreneurs on their role preserving another’s culture, sheds light on how corporations can also show up in partnership and as allies in business:
Consider the bigger picture. Alongside customary “product-market fit” research, invest your time and money into cultural considerations of your product or service. Ask yourself: How did this particular thing I want to sell (or “reinvent”) even come into existence? Whose culture developed — and has depended on — this product or service before me? Do I or others on my team hold any privileges over that specific group (i.e. race, class, ability, etc.)? Should I be the one to honor what they already introduced to the world? How can I ensure that I share profit with the ones who set the stage for this product in the first place? How can I give credit where credit is due?
While I’ll bet a billion dollars that Harris never asked himself any of these questions, there was also no one among Harris’s leadership team who could have suggested that branding and attempting to trademark a “Juneteenth” ice cream was not only a super bad idea, but is racially inflammatory, culturally bigoted and highly insensitive and an incredibly tone-deaf business move.
Among the five corporate leaders listed on Balchem’s website, all — including Harris’ general counsel — are like Harris: white and male (and likely very wealthy). The Board of Directors for the company is equally white, and male with the exception of two women, one of whom, is Asian American.
It’s this lack of accountability that is at the root of the appropriation problem. Cargle writes: “Patriarchal and racist systems that were put into place centuries ago continue to affect how all of us live; these systems give some people a leg-up in opportunity (think men and the gender gap) and others a barriered pathway (think inner-city kids and underfunded school systems).”
There is a need for us to demand more from corporations and entrepreneurs, but also to be faithful consumers of brands that uplift and support Black creators and causes; that provide fair-trade and ethically sourced products from African countries. Could we drive a little further or dig a little deeper into our wallets to support small Black business owners, as I was discussing the other day with Gail Hawkins of Cultural Interiors, my neighborhood gift and interior design shop.
Her business, which has been around for more than 20 years, was thriving during the height of the pandemic and racial unrests in 2020 by those wanting to show their support for Black businesses. Two years later, as things are “getting back to normal,” she sits alone in her quiet, beautiful shop wondering where’s the love gone?
African Americans own approximately 124,551 of U.S. businesses (including a heap of new ice cream shops like All Chill in Leimert Park) according to the latest census data. But that represents about three percent of all businesses in nationwide.
The problem with the capitalism is the belief that resources are scarce. Cooperation allows for abundance. So, I challenge Balchem’s Ted Harris — and the other Ted Harris’ out there: Rather than continuing to take from Black folks, put some real investment into small Black businesses and communities. Partner in communities of color. Get to know the people you’re appropriating from and spread that wealth around — you might learn something even more valuable than a dollar. At least, that’s my “enduring hope.”

Certain individuals born outside of the United States are born citizens because of their parents, according to the principle of jus sanguinis (which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his / her parents). The U.S. Congress is responsible for enacting laws that determine how citizenship is conveyed by a U.S. citizen parent or parents according to the principle of jus sanguinis. These laws are contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
In addition, Each year, many people adopt children from outside the U.S. The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA) grants those children the ability to automatically become U.S. citizens when they immigrate to the United States.
Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is conferred upon a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The general requirements for administrative naturalization include:
- a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;
- residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing;
- an ability to read, write, and speak English;
- a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;
- good moral character;
- attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and,
- favorable disposition toward the United States.
All naturalization applicants must demonstrate good moral character, attachment, and favorable disposition. The other naturalization requirements may be modified or waived for certain applicants, such as spouses of U.S. citizens.
Note: Recent changes in immigration law and USCIS procedures now make it easier for U.S. military personnel to naturalize.
General Naturalization Requirements
Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
Refer to the section, Naturalized Citizen's Children under Waivers, Exceptions, and Special Cases for information on applicants who are less than 18 years old.
An applicant must have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Lawfully admitted for permanent residence means having been legally accorded the privilege of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant in accordance with the immigration laws. Individuals who have been lawfully admitted as permanent residents will be asked to produce an I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card, as proof of their status.
Residence and Physical Presence
An applicant is eligible to file if, immediately preceding the filing of the application, he or she:
- has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (see preceding section);
- has resided continuously as a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for at least 5 years prior to filing with no single absence from the United States of more than one year;
- has been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the previous five years (absences of more than six months but less than one year shall disrupt the applicant's continuity of residence unless the applicant can establish that he or she did not abandon his or her residence during such period)
has resided within a state or district for at least three months
Good Moral Character
Generally, an applicant must show that he or she has been a person of good moral character for the statutory period (typically five years or three years if married to a U.S. citizen or one year for Armed Forces expedite) prior to filing for naturalization. The Service is not limited to the statutory period in determining whether an applicant has established good moral character. An applicant is permanently barred from naturalization if he or she has ever been convicted of murder. An applicant is also permanently barred from naturalization if he or she has been convicted of an aggravated felony as defined in section 101(a)(43) of the Act on or after November 29, 1990. A person also cannot be found to be a person of good moral character if during the last five years he or she:
- has committed and been convicted of one or more crimes involving moral turpitude
- has committed and been convicted of 2 or more offenses for which the total sentence imposed was 5 years or more
- has committed and been convicted of any controlled substance law, except for a single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana
- has been confined to a penal institution during the statutory period, as a result of a conviction, for an aggregate period of 180 days or more
- has committed and been convicted of two or more gambling offenses
- is or has earned his or her principal income from illegal gambling
- is or has been involved in prostitution or commercialized vice
- is or has been involved in smuggling illegal aliens into the United States
- is or has been a habitual drunkard
- is practicing or has practiced polygamy
- has willfully failed or refused to support dependents
- has given false testimony, under oath, in order to receive a benefit under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
An applicant must disclose all relevant facts to the Service, including his or her entire criminal history, regardless of whether the criminal history disqualifies the applicant under the enumerated provisions.
Attachment to the Constitution
An applicant must show that he or she is attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States.
Applicants for naturalization must be able to read, write, speak, and understand words in ordinary usage in the English language. Applicants exempt from this requirement are those who on the date of filing:
- have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 15 years or more and are over 55 years of age;
- have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 20 years or more and are over 50 years of age; or
- have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, where the impairment affects the applicant’s ability to learn English.
United States Government and History Knowledge
An applicant for naturalization must demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history and of the principles and form of government of the United States. Applicants exempt from this requirement are those who, on the date of filing, have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, where the impairment affects the applicant’s ability to learn U.S. History and Government
Applicants who have been residing in the U.S. subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for at least 20 years and are over the age of 65 will be afforded special consideration in satisfying this requirement.
Oath of Allegiance
To become a citizen, one must take the oath of allegiance. By doing so, an applicant swears to:
- support the Constitution and obey the laws of the U.S.;
- renounce any foreign allegiance and/or foreign title; and
- bear arms for the Armed Forces of the U.S. or perform services for the government of the U.S. when required.
In certain instances, where the applicant establishes that he or she is opposed to any type of service in armed forces based on religious teaching or belief, INS will permit these applicants to take a modified oath. | <urn:uuid:58ed05bf-3b77-4df2-be96-b9c08e9a738f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://snaid.com/citizenship-naturalization.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.960382 | 1,467 | 2.953125 | 3 |
The objective of the proposal is to perform a joint Greek-Turkish post-event study of the strong earthquake (Mw6.3) that ruptured offshore south Lesvos Isl. (Greece) on 12 June 2017 as well as of the small tsunami in Turkish and Greek coasts that associated the earthquake. This event is the first that happened in that area in the modern instrumental period of seismicity. Therefore, valuable instrumental data are available to better understand the seismotectonics of the area and the field of ground motion produced by the earthquake. In addition, since the earthquake caused damage mainly in south Lesvos but also in other areas (e.g. Chios Isl., Greece; several localities in W. Turkey) macroseismic data sets are very useful to assess the level of damage and to interpret the damage geographical distribution. The small tsunami triggered by the earthquake was recorded from several sea level stations in Greece and Turkey, shot in videos and observed by eyewitnesses, reminded the tsunami hazard existing not only in the area but in the Mediterranean Sea in general. Therefore, the study will also include analysis of the tsunami observations and comparison with the results of tsunami numerical modeling both with moderate and fine-gridded bathymetric/topographic data aiming to test the validity of the earthquake and tsunami models. Finally, the improvement of the tidegauge network in the area will be examined in the prospect of improving early warning capabilities.
Revealing the existence of tsunami-prone coastal regions in Aegean Sea, the outcomes of this proposal would remarkably contribute to emphasize the tsunami potential in Aegean Sea and would satisfy the needs of national authorities, both in Greece and Turkey and also in the neighboring countries in Mediterranean Sea, in order to increase public awareness and preparedness in the region against tsunami disaster.
The proposed study will incorporate three main parts.
- The first will focus in the past earthquake and tsunami history of the East Aegean Sea where the shock of 12 June 2017 occurred. The aim is to evaluate the level of knowledge so far about the earthquake phenomena that produce tsunamis in the area, the potential of tsunami generation and the mechanism s that drive tsunami generation.
- In the second part the intention is to study in details the strong earthquake (Mw6.3) of 12 June 2017, its aftershock sequence, the focal mechanism, the rupture process in the seismic source, the field of strong ground motion (ground accelerations, shake map), the building damage and the ground failures caused.
- Having collected all these types of knowledge, the third part of the study will focus in understanding the generation of the small tsunami from the particular seismic source. Tsunami observations will be compiled from official reports, eyewitness accounts, and video records. Tsunami simulation will follow based on a homogeneous seismic fault model (Okada elastic deformation) and a heterogeneous fault model represented by the rupture model expected to come out from the second part of the study. I t is intended to use bathymetry of high resolution in order to calculate sea level fluctuations at the tide gauges compatible with the recorded values. The validity of the models will be tested by comparing tsunami hydrodynamic parameters (e.g. wave amplitude, current velocity, flow depth, wave first motion polarity etc.). The third part of the study will also include suggestions for increasing the instrumental monitoring capabilities of tsunamis in the area. | <urn:uuid:5d04bb4e-cc95-43fd-8a16-c7247d76d7ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://drmkc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/knowledge/support-system-horizon-europe/the-east-aegean-see-strong-earthquake-mw63-of-12-june-2017-and-its-associated-tsunami-a-detailed-study | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.937543 | 702 | 2.484375 | 2 |
Letter: Great gas debate continues
Randy Fricke states, “The flames coming out of our water faucets do not lie.” Within a mile of where Mr. Fricke lives, a friend of mine built a home in 1977. He drilled a water well, and it had methane gas in it (naturally occurring). This was decades before there was oil and gas development in this area.
My friend enjoyed putting on a demonstration in his kitchen sink where he would actually light the water on fire. My friend, as folks did back in those days, dealt with the issue by figuring out how to separate the gas from the water. If this happened today, I can only imagine the allegations and conclusions Mr. Fricke would jump to, because, as he self-assuredly states, “flames coming out of our water faucets do not lie.” I would agree with Mr. Fricke that there is a lie, but it’s not coming from the faucet.
The industry, and the regulators of the industry, continually strive to lessen the negative impacts of developing oil and gas. Of course, our country also needs to lessen its carbon footprint and develop other sources of energy (I’m guessing Mr. Fricke is not a big supporter of nuclear power or hydro plants either).
Until solar, wind, or some other source of energy is perfected, natural gas is the obvious bridge fuel to our energy future. Natural gas is cheap, it is plentiful, and it is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel. Oh, it is also the primary product being developed in Garfield County by the industry Mr. Fricke wants to drive away. He says he can “sleep well because I do not poison water… ”
This hypocrisy, of enjoying the benefits and comforts that natural gas provides, while demonizing the people who provide it and regulate it with falsehoods like “flames coming out of water pipes” is tiresome. Evidently he would prefer to get his energy from Third World countries that have no environmental regulations. Perhaps Mr. Fricke would sleep even more soundly if he would forsake all hydrocarbons and the products produced from them.

Every pupil at Cundall Manor is a member of one of our four Houses: Normans, Saxons, Stuarts and Tudors. Siblings and cousins are put in the same house. The vertical House system brings together pupils of all ages and provides opportunities for every pupil to understand the importance of friendship, support, respect and care for others within the greater school community.
House meetings take place weekly and give the pupils the opportunity to mix with all age groups to carry out a variety of activities. Recent themes have included ‘The History of your House’ and ‘The Great Outdoors’; alternatively activities may focus on the pastoral theme of the term (such as Integrity, Perseverance, Heroism, Courage and Honesty).
All staff are also assigned to a house and attend the weekly house meetings, allowing them to develop uniquely relaxed and supportive relationships with a broader range of pupils than their classroom teaching may allow.
With children earning house points for good behaviour or exceptional school work, the house system reinforces our ethos of hard work and good manners, and allows for a healthy degree of competition within the school. During the year, a number of house competitions (in the form of sports tournaments, general knowledge quizzes, talent shows and singing contests) add to the very keen sense of service and support of one’s house. At the close of the school year the winning house enjoys a house outing. | <urn:uuid:8bef3615-e51c-4530-b380-47250c7edebc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cundallmanorschool.com/the-school/house-system/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.952073 | 294 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Take a look at the biggest films of the year so far and you’ll notice one thing: Disney absolutely dominates. Already in 2019 it has grossed over $8bn (around £6bn / AU$12bn) at the global box office, thanks to the live action remakes of Aladdin and The Lion King, the Pixar follow-up Toy Story 4, and, of course, the massive cultural event that was Avengers: Endgame.
That figure is set to balloon further, too. Before the year ends, the company will also be releasing Frozen 2 and a little film called Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Disney is set to further tighten its grip on the small screen too, with the launch of streaming service Disney Plus. Simply put, the House of Mickey is unstoppable.
This domination is not an accident, or the result of a few lucky manoeuvres: it’s the result of calculated technological and business innovation that spans almost a century in the lifespan of the Walt Disney corporation. So join us in looking back on some of the smartest moves that made Disney’s film business so powerful.

The Early Years: Pioneering Animation
Disney started life as an animation studio – and with its third film, Steamboat Wilie in 1928, it demonstrated how the company would continue to use technological innovation to keep audiences engaged.
The 7 minute, 46 second film was actually the third starring Mickey Mouse, but what makes it notable is that it was the first to use what was called ‘synchronised sound’ – the then revolutionary idea of having an audio track that corresponded to what was being shown onscreen.
In the early 1930s, Disney first experimented with colour films, using a technology known as ‘technicolor’. This was a process where a subject – whether a human or an animation cell – was shot simultaneously through three colour filters (red, green, and blue) on to three separate strips of film. Disney wasn’t the first company to use this technology – but it perhaps had the most success thanks to it.
In 1934, the company released Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, which briefly became the biggest film of all time, before MGM’s Gone With The Wind was released in 1939. During the 1940s, too – while Europe was busy having a war – Disney continued making films that would become classics, including Pinnochio and Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1941, and Bambi in 1942.
After the war, the company continued making more classic animated features like Lady and the Tramp and Sleeping Beauty. The other big development of this time was the opening of Disneyland in California.
But all was not well: Sleeping Beauty actually lost money because it was so expensive to make. But this is where Disney was saved by the advent of another new technology: xeroxography.
If you’re wondering what xeroxography is, it’s essentially the ability to photocopy cells (celluloid sheets) for animation, so that not every single cell needed to be redrawn and repainted. And it arrived at just the right time, when Disney was working on 101 Dalmations. Without it, Disney would have faced the expensive nightmare of needing to hand-animate, well, 101 different dogs on the screen.
The 80s and 90s: Home Video and The Disney Vault
The late 1970s and early 1980s saw a huge shift in how viewers consumed Disney content. The rise of home video meant that in theory, viewers could access Disney’s unrivalled animation library whenever they wanted to.
In theory, anyway. The reality was rather different.
Historically, Disney had pursued a strategy of re-releasing its films into cinemas every few years. This was good for viewers, as it meant in an era before video they could see films they missed the first time around – and it was good business too, as the limited time re-release would create a promotional buzz.
When it came to home video, then, Disney made what might seem an odd decision: It was only going to sell certain films for a short period of time, before removing them from sale again.
It called this concept the “Disney Vault”, and created this artificial scarcity to maximise the hype in a world that was increasingly experiencing a very early form of “on demand” – as increased distribution of VHS video tapes meant that films could be viewed whenever someone wanted to watch them.
It was also in this era that Disney experienced an animation renaissance, with a host of incredibly beloved and popular films released into movie theatres. Under the leadership of CEO Michael Eisner, between 1989 and 1994, the company released The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King, all of which remain classics today.
But it was in 1995 that technology really changed animation again: Toy Story became the first full length, fully computer-generated feature film, and was a huge success both commercially and critically. In fact, it set the template for animation in the two decades to come. So it was perhaps unfortunate then that while Disney distributed the film, it didn’t own the studio that made it: Pixar.
At least, not yet.
The 2000s: The Force Awakens
It was only when current CEO Bob Iger took over in 2005 that Disney really began to enter its imperial phase. Within a few short years, Iger masterminded deals that saw Disney swallow up Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel and most recently 21st Century Fox.
At the time, these perhaps felt like big gambles given the cash involved, but today they are widely viewed as acts of strategic genius. Why? Because Iger realised that in a world of streaming technology where no one company can control the distribution mechanism, the real value isn’t in pipes or airwaves, but in intellectual property.
Simply put, by owning the biggest entertainment brands in the world, audiences will pay to seek them out – including via direct subscription fee to Disney Plus. And the logic is sound: as transformative as Netflix has been, if you want to watch Star Wars, you’re not going to accept Netflix's Lost In Space reboot as a substitute. Instead, you’re going to pull out your credit card and start paying Disney directly.
So by snaffling up Marvel, Pixar and Lucas, and sitting on a library that includes pretty much every beloved animation from the last 100 years, Disney owns a significant slice of our cultural touchstones that Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV Plus or the many other imminent streaming competitors can’t touch.
There’s one point worth mentioning that shows just how clever Disney has been adapting to this new era, and why it will continue to dominate into the future: unlike Netflix, Disney Plus doesn’t need to make money.
Why? Because as former Amazon Video executive Matthew Ball has observed (opens in new tab), Disney isn’t too desperate to get money from subscribers – which is clear from the cheap $6.99 / AU$8.99 (around £5.50) per month subscription plan. It’s more interested in selling you a $5,000 (£3,890 / AU$7,430) Disney cruise, a trip to Disneyworld, or having you buy your kids Disney Princess and Marvel toys at Christmas – as that’s where the real money is.
Ultimately, the reason why Disney dominates today and will continue to dominate our culture in the future is because it is a company that is comfortable playing the long game.
Rather than squeeze an extra dollar from you today, it wants to make sure that when you’re 80 and want to spend some time with your grandchildren at the hologram-plex, that you’ll choose to take them to see not any old film, but a digitally de-aged Jaden Smith playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the latest instalment of the Star Wars franchise. And the evidence suggests that we will. | <urn:uuid:750b846c-9576-4851-b37f-b363e14a3866> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.techradar.com/news/steamboat-willie-to-disney-plus-a-history-of-disney-domination | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.962783 | 1,700 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Even now God is at work, drawing sinners to himself
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled
At Christmastime, the familiar refrain echoes in our churches, our stereos, even our shopping malls. It’s so familiar, in fact, that the magnitude of the concepts in Charles Wesley’s hymn may be easy to overlook. Even at Christmas.
God and sinners, reconciled. Listen up, the angels say. Lend an ear. This is big news.
Wesley’s original intent was to set his “Hymn for Christmas Day” to a slower, more solemn tune. He also wrote verses we don’t sing today, including one in particular that is steeped in imagery of dark and light, of sin and holiness, of the differences between us and Christ.
Wesley’s verses aren’t very Christmas-y, at least not in a tinsel and trees, lights and presents kind of way. But it’s easy to imagine it sung in a hushed stable, long after everyone should be asleep, when the import of what’s just happened is becoming ever more clear.
Come, desire of nations, come,
Fix in us thy humble home;
Rise, the woman’s conquering seed,
Bruise in us the serpent’s head.
Now display thy saving power,
Ruin’d nature now restore;
Now in mystic union join
Thine to ours, and ours to thine.
The “mystic union” Wesley describes is at work every time a sinner turns to Jesus. We’re reconciled to him in one sense of the word—a broken relationship is repaired—but there’s more.
Our purposes are also aligned with his. Our very nature is back in step with our Creator’s.
Once empty, now full
Matt Mevert and his wife, Andrea, grew up going to church. In fact, they went to the same church. They were married there and raising their family there, until recently, when something shifted.
“I started to realize that there was something missing, but I don’t even think I realized it before,” said Matt, who owns an auto shop in Steeleville.
The Meverts came to a place in their lives where they realized worshiping God and praying to him could be personal and dynamic—that they could have a relationship with him.
They were baptized Dec. 10 at Steeleville Baptist Church in front of their new church family and their three sons.
For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly (Rom. 5:6, CSB).
“All around us, we are surrounded by people who have a God-sized hole in their hearts,” said Scott Foshie, the Meverts’ pastor. “We are all made to enjoy a relationship with him, but our sin has separated us and we are enslaved by it.”
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8).
For Matt and Andrea, a host of factors led to their decision to follow Christ. Their oldest son joined a Bible study and started asking questions about the Scriptures. They attended a summer revival and felt God moving them to make a new commitment to him. And they started studying the Bible.
“At that point, you can’t get enough of it,” Mevert said of the Bible. “You start studying and making opportunities to learn more all the time.”
How much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life (Rom. 5:9-10).
“In Matt’s case, while he grew up in church, he realized that even though he knew a lot about God, he didn’t know God personally,” Pastor Foshie said. “He was lacking the experience of being born again and experiencing the saving power of knowing Jesus.
“The Holy Spirit revealed Matt’s need to be born again, and he responded in simple faith.”
And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation (Rom. 5:11).
“Without Jesus, our lives are empty and meaningless,” Foshie said. “Those of us who know him need to use the Christmas season (and every season) to offer the Good News that we can come to Christ and truly be reconciled to him.”
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man
no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Partners in reconciliation
In her work at Angels’ Cove Maternity Center, Carla Donoho sees people in need of reconciliation. With their families, and with God. But it often doesn’t come easily.
“Accepting the love of a Heavenly Father is foreign and difficult when many have no father in their lives or the ones they have do not represent love,” said Donoho, who directs Angels’ Cove, a ministry of Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services.
“For those who have come from difficult circumstances, either from their own doing or acts of someone toward them, seeing the love of God through his people is a miracle.”
Apostle Paul describes that miracle in 2 Corinthians, and gives a clear directive to those who have experienced Christ’s reconciliation.
Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18).
“Nothing thrills me more than to see one of ‘ours’ come to know Jesus as the loving Savior who has given himself for them,” Donoho said. “Those who feel so unloved, rejected, and unwanted realize they are a child of the True King. This is true reconciliation.”
Scott Foshie heard the message of reconciliation at nine years old from his grandmother, Lois, when she was suffering from cancer. Even if she lost the battle, she told him, she knew she would be with Jesus because she had given her life to him, and he had forgiven her sin.
“When she told me that she hoped I had that kind of relationship with Jesus too, I began to think,” Foshie recounted. “That was when I realized that while I knew facts about God, I didn’t really know him. I needed to begin a personal relationship with Jesus.”
The ministry of reconciliation is at work whenever a Lois or a Carla Donoho or a Pastor Scott or a Matt Mevert shares the work of Christ in their own lives.
That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us (2 Cor. 5:19).
At the manger, God extended reconciliation through his son, Jesus. On the cross, the offer of reconciliation is completed through Jesus’s death for the world’s sins. Charles Wesley married two holy days—Christmas and Easter—and the reconciliation seen in both with another of his hymns for Advent, “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus.”
Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart. | <urn:uuid:b8e91dfb-f82e-4dc9-bcea-8c83699be786> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ib2news.org/tag/angels-cove-maternity-center/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.974815 | 1,736 | 1.757813 | 2 |

L-863 Certified AV-70 Solar LED Taxiway Edge Light
Central Florida is a popular, world renown tourist destination. The region includes six major attractions and one of the busiest cruise port terminals in the world. The city of Orlando, located in Central Florida, boasts a population of over 8 million people and is one of the most frequented cities in the United States. 42 million passengers per year pass through the Orlando International Airport (MCO) on their way to the region, traveling on 50+ carriers that originate from more than 120 international destinations. The area’s large number of attractions, growing tourism trade, and expanding local population require the continual expansion of MCO to accommodate increasing volumes of visitors and aircraft operations.
Frequent paving projects to expand runways would close effected sections of taxiways or require rerouting of ground traffic until airfield lighting could be reconfigured. Typically, temporary taxiway lights would be used to illuminate alternative or temporary taxiways to air traffic. However, temporary taxiway lighting requires 5 kV wiring with rigid steel conduit that is labor-intensive, expensive, and difficult to install and maintain. The impact of hardwired temporary lighting includes costly project and flight delays.
Avlite supplied AV-70 Solar LED Taxiway Edge Lights to the Orlando International Airport to help ensure safe rerouting of aircraft on taxiways during paving projects.
The FAA L-863 Certified AV-70’s are radio frequency (RF) controlled and fully integrated with MCO’s Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring Systems (ALCMS). This allows the air traffic control tower (ATCT) to fully operate and control the AV-70 Solar LED Taxiway Edge Lights as part of Orlando’s entire airfield lighting control system.
When not in use, the AV-70’s are connected to Avlite’s Portable Charging System (PCS) so they remain at peak charge and ready for immediate deployment.
The AV-70’s feature an internal photocell to automatically operate from dusk to dawn or in low visibility conditions when not RF controlled. This provides a flexible and versatile temporary lighting solution on busy taxiway and runway paving projects, avoiding flight and project delays. The AV-70 is the only L-863 certified solar LED taxiway edge light and can be included in Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded projects.
The AV-70 is the only L-863 certified solar LED taxiway edge light and can be included in Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded projects.
“Avlite’s Solar LED AV-70 Taxiway Lights are performing as intended, providing important guidance to the aircraft at MCO. And, they may be used on future taxiway projects. Thus, the cost for temporary taxiway edge lighting should be reduced for future projects.”
— Tuan Nguyen, Manager of Civil Engineering, Orlando International Airport.
“I’ve been in the industry since 1987 and this is the first time I’ve ever seen solar lights controlled by an airfield lighting system.”

Forest and rangeland soils of the United States under changing conditions: A comprehensive science synthesis. Springer, Cham. p. 99-126
Soil and the inherent biogeochemical processes in wetlands contrast starkly with those in upland forests and rangelands. The differences stem from extended periods of anoxia, or the lack of oxygen in the soil, that characterize wetland soils; in contrast, upland soils are nearly always oxic. As a result, wetland soil biogeochemistry is characterized by anaerobic processes, and wetland vegetation exhibits specific adaptations to grow under these conditions. However, many wetlands may also have periods during the year where the soils are unsaturated and aerated. This fluctuation between aerated and nonaerated soil conditions, along with the specialized vegetation, gives rise to a wide variety of highly valued ecosystem services.

Web3 is a new kind of internet service that is built by using decentralized blockchains. Bitcoin [BTC] is widely regarded as the most decentralized blockchain. The majority of Bitcoin nodes use bitcoin core as their client to run the blockchain, making it highly centralized when it comes to client usage.
A blockchain collects information together in groups, known as blocks, that hold sets of information. It is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system.
Web3 is a new monotony of the world wide web that hosts decentralized apps that run on blockchain technology, incorporating concepts such as decentralization and token-based economics.
Web3 is basically a connection between the Ethereum blockchain and your smart contract. Contract object makes it easy to interact with smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. When you create a new contract object you give it the JSON interface of the respective smart contract and web3 will auto convert all the calls.
Blockchain is a key technology behind Web3. A well-designed blockchain stores records in blocks that are linked to one another using cryptographic techniques.
A blockchain ensures the integrity of a cryptocurrency by encrypting, validating, and permanently recording transactions. A blockchain is similar to a bank’s ledger but open and accessible to everyone who utilizes the cryptocurrency it supports.
Web3 communities are online hangouts for those who are looking to build a decentralized app or mint their NFT collection.
Discord is an instant messaging and digital platform. Here, people can communicate with messaging, voice calls, video calls, share files and media in communities, or private chats called “servers”.
A server is groups or spaces on discord and any user can start a new server for free. Some larger servers are public where you can meet people of different countries with the same hobbies and interests. Discord also has a feature called DM’s (Direct Message) and GDM’s (Group Direct Message). Most DMs are one-on-one conversations, but users have the option to invite up to nine others to the conversation to create a private group DM, with a maximum size of ten people.
Let’s list out the best discord servers for web3 developers
Gitcoin is a platform where coders and developers can get paid to work on open-source software in any type of programming language they wish to open. Gitcoin (GTC) is an Ethereum token that enables community governance of the Gitcoin platform.
Gitcoin also provides other tools that include sponsored hackathons, where participants can showcase their talents and earn rewards for their solutions.
Seed Club’s main motive is to serve web3 community builders. Seed Club is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) that builds and invests in communities. This club is specially built for crypto enthusiasts and for those who want to broaden their knowledge about cryptocurrencies and the crypto world.
Buildspace is the perfect discord server for developers who are curious about web3 and want to learn and expand their knowledge about the web3 world. Buildspace has many resources to learn and start with, and the best part about it is that we get all of this knowledge completely for free!
Alchemy provides a whole lot of tutorials to kickstart with your web3 journey. If you're already using Web3, then you can start using Alchemy Web3 with a one-line change. Alchemy Supernode is the most widely used blockchain API for Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. Alchemy is building the decentralized superhighway and accelerating the speed of the countless blockchains.
Forefront is a social token community that creates and curates resources to help tokenized communities prosper. Social tokens or media tokens allow creators to build communities and then also monetize their content. As a key enabler for Web3, several platforms have popped up to make it easier to tokenize communities.
Spiritual DAO is a worldwide community for spiritual souls that help people with themselves and the world. They are building a community of wellness and trying to bring out positive changes in people’s lives.
Chainlink is an inclusive community for blockchain enthusiasts and developers looking to explore new Web3 technologies. Chainlink enables smart contracts on any blockchain trusted by organizations including AAVE, Synthetic, Dydx, and PancakeSwap.
Without knowing Ethereum your knowledge of Web3 would be incomplete. Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality.
Ether is the native cryptocurrency of the platform. It is a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts.
If you have a dream of building decentralized applications then being a part of the Ethereum community would be your first choice.
Rabbit Hole is a Web3 social club focused on providing value, insight, and community. We are not only focused on NFTs, which act as a sort of membership card to our community but also on creating value through automated news aggregation for the savvy trader, partnerships with retailers to get our members discounts, as well as a whole host of other services that will come in the following seasons of the Rabbit Hole.
Audius is a decentralized and open-source music streaming platform. Join this server for music crypto discussions and many fun events.
This decentralized music platform has launched a new feature that lets users preview their NFTs on websites like Twitter and Discord. The tool supports tokens based on Ethereum and Solana, the two biggest NFT hubs.
Audius differs from other music streaming services because it's blockchain-based, which shapes how the whole thing works. Artists can upload their tracks at no cost and users can listen to them for free while everyone earns (crypto). Audius is expanding its footprint on Solana and teases more Solana-centric features ahead.
Unlike the more restrictive model of Spotify, Audius aims to be a place where music artists can freely distribute, stream and monetize their work.
11. Maker DAO
Maker DAO allows users to generate Dai by leveraging collateral assets approved by “Maker Governance.” Maker Governance is the community-organized and operated process of managing the various aspects of the maker Protocol.
Dai is a decentralized, unbiased, collateral-backed cryptocurrency soft-pegged to the US Dollar. Resistant to hyperinflation due to its low volatility, Dai offers economic freedom and opportunity to anyone, anywhere.
12. Party DAO
Party DAO is a decentralized party organization. You can form a party, join forces, and buy NFTs as a team. Party Splits let you start a party and grant a portion of the fractional tokens to any address you choose.
Though it's a simple primitive, this feature can be used in a variety of ways.

The UK government was reportedly considering an emergency evacuation of more than 200 British people in China due to the coronavirus outbreak, which has so far killed 56 people in the Asian country.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has allegedly ordered officials to examine the logistics for an airlift, saying keeping people over there could be a "death sentence", the metro.co.uk said in a report on Sunday.
However, a source has claimed that "a number of things need to fall into place on the Chinese side before we can make any firm promises", according to MailOnline.
Canada reports on the first presumptive confirmed case
The new claims come after Canada on Saturday reported its "first presumptive confirmed case" of the coronavirus, provisionally designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as 2019-nCoV.
As of Saturday afternoon, 31 people across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have been tested for the deadly flu-like virus, whose symptoms were similar to those of cold but may be accompanied by fever and fatigue, dry cough and shortness of breath.
All tests have come back negative, the Department of Health (DoH) said, adding that there were also no confirmed diagnoses in UK citizens abroad and the risk to the public was still classed as "low".
However the Foreign Office has updated its guidance to advise against all travel to Wuhan city, the epicenter of the outbreak in China's Hubei province, metro.co.uk reported.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned that the spread of the deadly illness is accelerating.
The death toll due to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak in China has increased to 56, while the number of infected persons was 1,975, the country's National Health Commission said on Sunday.
Besides Canada, the cases reported outside China were five each in Thailand and Hong Kong; four in Australia; three each in South Korea Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and France; two each in Japan, the US, Vietnam, and Macao; and one confirmed and two suspected in Nepal. | <urn:uuid:a3067caa-a873-4907-9fcf-5a205e39c12c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ibtimes.sg/uk-govt-mulls-emergency-evacuation-brits-china-38319?utm_source=Internal&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=related | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.973192 | 426 | 1.84375 | 2 |
HydroMekin: Eneo Cameroon supports the evacuation of the energy generated
Eneo Cameroon is pleased to announce that it has helped carry out injection tests of energy generated by the Mekin hydroelectric plant into the SIG. Its D34 Sangmelima distribution line is used as an evacuation line to the Southern Interconnected Grid of the energy generated in the Mekin power plant with a peak of 11MW recorded to date. In this context, Eneo's D34 distribution line is used in a hybrid Transmission and Distribution mode. This is an unusual and very delicate configuration, as it involves risks of instability with the multiplicity of derivations.
During the field trip led by the Minister of Water and Energy, in the presence of various stakeholders in the sector to evaluate the injection tests carried out, it emerged from the statements made by various stakeholders, including Eneo, SONATREL and HydroMekin, that the optimal solution for evacuating to the interconnected network is to set up a transmission network.
Eneo appreciates the creation by the Minister of Water and Energy, at the end of this visit, of a multi-stakeholder technical working group composed of MINEE's Electricity Directorate, SONATREL, ARSEL, HydroMekin and Eneo. Its technical mission is to complete the performance tests and propose solutions to the constraints that weigh on the optimal operation of this facility and the evacuation of its energy to the Southern region and the SIG.
In the meantime, Eneo's technical teams will continue with the work on the D34 Sangmélima line, alongside other actions to be considered:
- Bulldozing of vegetation along the line corridors over 135 KM (to be completed in about 2 months);
- Mechanical reinforcement of the line by replacing wood poles with concrete or metal ones, depending on the availability of funds.
- Configuration and reinforcement of protections
Eneo Cameroon also notes that it is urgent to set up, in collaboration with HydroMekin, a protection scheme for the D34 Distribution Line in order to better adapt it to the energy evacuation needs.

For some time now, some of my on-line friends have advised me to provide a version of CassidySlangScam without the invective aimed at Cassidy and his supporters. In response to that advice, I am working on providing a glossary of the terms in Cassidy’s ludicrous book How The Irish Invented Slang with a short, simple and business-like explanation of why Cassidy’s version is wrong.
Cassidy claims that the word bummer comes from the Irish bumaire. In fact, the origins of this word are very complex and there are many different origins involved.
First, there is the English word bum meaning backside, which is derived from a syncopated version of Middle English botym (bottom).
Then there is bum-bailiff (borrowed into Irish as bum-báille or simply as bum) which apparently comes from bum meaning backside (because he comes up behind people and catches them).
Then there is the word bum meaning to boast or brag, which is still very common in Irish English. (He’s always bumming and blowing about that new motor!) This word is also found in Scottish and English dialects. The word bumaire (meaning a braggart) is an obvious (and probably fairly recent) borrowing from this Scots or English dialect word.
And lastly, there is a word for a tramp or hobo in American slang, which comes from German Bummler, a loiterer, stroller or tramp. It is this that gives rise to expressions like ‘a bum steer’ or ‘it’s a bummer.’ | <urn:uuid:eb47b509-60a7-4c59-bf2c-0804f217e644> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cassidyslangscam.wordpress.com/tag/bumming-and-bragging/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.959425 | 348 | 2.453125 | 2 |
The RoBeetle is a lightweight micro robot powered by methanol.
The RoBeetle is an attempt to create small and efficiently powered robots that can move easily using sustainable fuel sources. The lightweight robot (weighs only 88 milligrams) is the design work of Nestor Perez Arancibia, Xiufeng Yang, and Longlong Chang at the University of Southern California.
The beetle-shaped robot features four legs consisting of two fixed rear legs and front legs attached to the transmission to receive commands to move forward. The body of RoBeetle is a fuel tank and its structure is designed in a way to modulate the flow of the methanol by using a purely mechanical system.
A full tank of methanol can be used for 155 minutes to make the tiny robot move and perform tiny jobs. Two little horns help to carry things more than their body weight. RoBeetle has an unadjustable top speed of 0.76 millimeters per hour and can move only forwards.
Scientists are now creating insects like robots, and the future of this technology is fascinating. With the ability to control the movement and behavior of insects, scientists can use them to explore dangerous or hard-to-reach places.
The potential for use in search and rescue missions is exciting, and the use of insect cyborgs could also help us learn more about the behavior of these creatures. As the technology develops, we'll likely see more and more applications for insect cyborgs, and it's exciting to think about the possibilities this technology holds for the future | <urn:uuid:ae79b271-17b9-4342-9ea2-ca507dcc8424> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.onlyincredible.co.uk/2020/08/robeetle-lightweight-micro-robot/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.944584 | 323 | 3.203125 | 3 |

The Role Of Power And Ambition In The Fate Of Lady Macbeth
The play ‘Macbeth’ was written by one of the world’s greatest writer’s ‘William Shakespeare’. It is recognized as one of the most tragic stories that have ever been written. He uses numerous characters to develop the downfall of Macbeth. Characters such as Lady Macbeth are one of the most significant protagonists in the play as she manipulated Macbeth to find his quest in becoming the king. Lady Macbeth portrays herself as a hubris character who believed that nothing could stop her as she expressed the spirits to “unsex” her femininity to be released from her body. Thus, although it is surmised that Lady Macbeth had poor judgments and only desired the best for her husband, she was ultimately ambitious, scheming and cruel which indicates that she is a woman who does not earn the audience’s pity and deserved her fate. Various elements analyzed in this essay are determined and understood through Lady Macbeth’s ambition to be queen, her behaviour towards Macbeth and the blood on her hands that proved her guilt.
An essential element in act one, scene five showed the audience when Lady Macbeth realized that a prophecy was told by the three witches to Macbeth, saying that he will become the king of Scotland. Factors reveal that she then began portraying her ambition, scheme and cruelty by explaining to herself that “what thou are promised” from the prophecy will allow Macbeth to be the king. Yet, she feared that “thy nature… is too full o’th’ milk of human kindness” as he was an honorable and loyal soldier and not a murderer or traitor to the “nearest way” of becoming the almighty king. Hence, she had faith that the country would be ruled by Macbeth; however, she forced him acquire the crown as cruel as possible by killing the Duncan. From this it can be deduced and provided with an immediate implication that although Lady Macbeth had poor judgments and that she desired the best for her husband, her desire for him to become king by forcing him to kill Duncan was ultimately ambitious, scheming and cruel which shows that she is a woman who does not earn the audience’s pity and that she deserved her fate.
Throughout the end of the same act, killing King Duncan were both in Lady Macbeth and Macbeth’s eyes in order to allow them to rule Scotland and for Lady Macbeth to control the nation like no woman ever had in such a male-dominated society. However, her behaviour of forcing Macbeth to kill Duncan was profoundly initiated in her hands as she considers the ideas on completing the plan. An insight into this issue can be gained as she says to Macbeth, “when you durst to do it, then you were a man” in which verbally abused and peer-pressured him to kill Duncan. Shakespeare portrays a character who had the confidence to peer pressure such an honorable man as during, the 11th century of Scotland, gender proceedings did not have equality as it was a society of men taking a complete authority towards their wives. Lady Macbeth is an essential character used by Shakespeare to present a powerful woman that can cause such wicked acts and use Macbeth to acquire the scheming “solely sovereign sway and masterdom” that will change her life and nature from a categorized traditional woman to the Queen of Scotland with legitimate power. On an interpretation of the evidence, it can be therefore represented that Lady Macbeth was ambitious, scheme and cruel in which is an act that the audience does not need to pity and that she deserved her guilt and fate although she only desired the best for her husband by increasing their power willingly.
All of Lady Macbeth’s ambitious, scheming and cruel desires are all demonstrated in the rising tension, for example, Duncan’s blood on her hands and the sleepwalking in which caused her with peripeteia and symbolic guilt. Her visions expressed her anxieties and insaneness. This particular element suggests that Lady Macbeth articulates the cruel acts she caused as she was not able to wash the “damned” blood that was draining through her hands in which then she screamed “out, I say! One-Two”. She refers “’tis time to do it” to recollect back to Duncan’s murder and clarify that she understands her sins would bring her to the “murky” hell. Moreover, although she senses the guilt, she believes that Macbeth and her power cannot be “account” and that they were both unstoppable. However, she senses the effects that caused her mental health as Shakespeare illustrates that Lady Macbeth continued feeling the dripping of “so much blood” that was from Duncan’s body and attached to her hands. The accumulated evidence, therefore, determines that although she only desired the best for her husband by increasing their power to the nation, her ambition, scheme and cruelty are all established in this interpretation as her complete guilt proves that she does not need the audience’s pity and that she deserved her fate.

Research Papers About Non-invasive Ventilation Delivered via Helmet
Great article with a quick summary and key points for Helmet-based ventilation. Keep in mind that Helmet CPAP and Helmet PSV are often lumped together under the broad umbrella of Non-invasive ventilation.
1. Helmet CPAP therapy markedly improves oxygenation in COVID patients and the intubation rate is lower in patients treated with Helmet therapy than in those treated with HFNO
2. Helmet CPAP is a safe and effective treatment option for immunocompromised patients with ARF
3. Helmet CPAP benefited patients (non-COVID) rescued by nurses in the absence of any pharmacological intervention, implying that CPAP should be used as a first-line intervention even before standard medical treatment!
CONCLUSIONS: In the subjects with COPD with exacerbation, NAVA through a helmet improved comfort, triggering performance, and patient-ventilator synchrony compared with pressure support through a face mask.

The equality scene has evolved and diversified. Equality can hardly be established as one particular thing because its definition shifts depending on what suits the powerful voices of the time.
The current gap in addressing gender concerns inspired the inception of Gender Ink. Gender Ink dissects and analyzes emerging gender issues creating awareness on gender issues, and promoting women’s empowerment and positive masculinity.
The rising need for gender equality education prompted us to broaden our scope of services to reach the larger mass and offer amicable solutions to vulnerable people in society, specifically targeting corporates and the grassroot level. We believe we are facing a crisis of democratic institutions where the power of actors and institutions to represent and fight for social justice has been undercut, and civil society spaces for advocacy and action are severely restricted.
Work on social justice and rights is being forced underground. Institutions that proclaim the urgency of making progress on women’s rights are themselves sites of entrenched gender discrimination. New actors are increasingly selling quick fixes to structural issues of inequality through ‘empowerment lite’ solutions, with conditionality requirements for access to resources that skirt hegemonic power dynamics.

Chronic conditions, typically characterised as diseases of long duration, slow progression and that require long-term management, contribute significantly to the global burden of disease and are predicted to become more prevalent in the years to come.1 People with chronic conditions are less likely to be physically active than the general population, which has important health and economic consequences.2
In 2020, the WHO released public health guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour including, for the first time, specific recommendations for people living with chronic conditions.3 These guidelines are a significant milestone in the public health movement to promote physical activity for all. However, the WHO Guideline Development Group identified important gaps in the evidence for this population, which may be attributable, in part, to a lack of research funding in this field.4 In their recent consensus statement, Reid and colleagues provide guidance for practitioners on promoting physical activity in people living with long-term conditions.5 Their paper is a valuable contribution to the field, however, substantially more research and implementation activity is needed to increase activity levels in these populations. Here, we use the Behavioural Epidemiology Framework6 to outline the spectrum of research …

The Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) stated on Friday that crimes involving the use of cryptocurrencies have increased across the country. According to the report, more than 60% of all reported financial fraud cases involve crypto trading products. The agency calls for urgent and stricter supervision.
The FMA report stated that two-thirds of investment fraud reports submitted in 2020 are related to cryptocurrency and digital foreign exchange trading products. FMA also claims that these crypto scammers are using social media platforms such as Telegram and TikTok to find victims to carry out fraud.
FMA spokesperson Klaus Grubernik said: “We believe that stricter supervision is very much needed now.” “Fraud practices in stocks and gold have always existed, and these scams are now turning to digital assets.” He said that because these crimes are mostly carried out on social media, prosecution very difficult. This is because investigations have to be conducted across borders. As early as 2018, Austrian Finance Minister, Hartwig Löger, called for pan-EU crypto regulation to combat money laundering.
Although Austria’s investment in crypto fraud has increased significantly, the country’s traditional exchanges are still one of the main driving forces for digital asset trading. Various crypto exchange-traded products are listed on platforms such as the Vienna Stock Exchange.
In addition, A1 Payment, one of Austria’s largest mobile network operators, launched an encrypted payment service in July last year; in terms of blockchain applications, the Iota Foundation cooperated with the Vienna University of Technology in November 2020 to discuss distributed classification Research activities on accounting technology.
Why Cryptocurrency Crime Happens?
In the first nine months of 2019, the digital currency crimes led to a $4.4 billion monetary loss. That is an increase of more than 150% from the $1.7 billion in 2018. CipherTrace CEO, Dave Jevans said: ‘The 150% increase in crypto theft and fraud reflects how criminals are adapting for bigger and better scores. Criminals chase money and the money is right here and ripe for the taking. Little attacks are often easy to defend against, but targeted attacks are far more lucrative.’
He also claims that there are no reports of criminal activities under $5 million. This is because exchanges and regulatory teams usually focus on larger cases.
However, CipherTrace also reported that the value of theft and fraud in this industry was only $15.5 million. That is the lowest rate in the third quarter in two years. Jevons said that the number of attacks reported by the industry is decreasing. Indeed the scale of crimes by criminals is still growing.
CipherTrace has previously stated that the type of crime in the cryptocurrency space has shifted. Direct theft has become an investment exit scam. It also shows that it is becoming increasingly difficult for criminals to attack exchanges.
‘Today’s attackers are patient and willing to spend more time waiting for a payout,” said Jevans. “Not only have we seen more $100 million thefts and scams, but those responsible are also acting carefully. They only cash out small amounts to stay under the radar.’
The report also shows that 65% of the world’s top 120 cryptocurrency exchanges have weak know-your-customer (KYC) requirements. CipherTrace said: ‘It will no doubt have implications as regulators seek to have KYC information shared globally.’ | <urn:uuid:45d5a97b-c6be-4fd4-9b79-1ae6a00c10ef> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.gizchina.com/2021/02/20/austrian-regulator-says-cryptocurrency-is-associated-with-60-of-financial-fraud-cases/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.965879 | 711 | 2.046875 | 2 |
THE FORMER bus station in central Milton Keynes is to be converted to provide overnight accommodation for the city’s homeless.
The plan by Milton Keynes Council aims to accommodate up to 18 residents who are currently sleeping rough and will include shower and washing facilities and a large shared kitchen area.
The former bus station at Station Square is expected to open its doors to the homeless from November. The project is part of the council’s commitment to end rough sleeping in Milton Keynes. It has pledged to provide support to reconnect people to their local areas, secure homes in the private sector and assist with deposit payments.
Cllr Emily Darlington, cabinet member for adults, housing and healthy communities, said: “We are determined to end rough sleeping for good in Milton Keynes. The first step is getting people off the streets and into safe and warm accommodation.
“We can then work with people to understand the complex reasons they became homeless in the first place and prevent them ending up on the streets again.”
|The former bus station is currently being used as a storage facility. Volunteers will continue to use the ground floor to provide services for rough sleepers during the day.|
…as council wins finding bid to help homeless off the streets
NATIONAL funding is to help to pay for 30 new homes for people previously sleeping rough on the streets of Milton Keynes.
Milton Keynes Council has invested £3 5 million into the scheme, with the rest coming from central government after a successful council bid earlier this year.
The homes have been allocated to people who were previously sleeping rough for whom the council had arranged temporary accommodation during the pandemic.
Cllr Emily Darlington, cabinet member for adults, housing and healthy communities, said: “These homes are about much more than just providing a roof over someone’s head. It will give people a chance to restart their lives in the security of their own homes.
“We will continue working with them so they do not face with another night on the streets and help deal with the underlying issues that led to being on the streets in the first place.
“My thanks go out to the council team and our partners that moved quickly to secure these homes and support for those that desperately needed them.”
Follow the link to watch a short video where Cllr Darlington visited a former rough sleeper in their new home.
MK Council has offered everyone sleeping rough in MK somewhere safe to stay during the pandemic. Working with partners, the council is still actively encouraging people to take up offers of accommodation.
“We will never give up on a vulnerable rough sleeper, even if they do not accept support at first,” said a council spokesman. | <urn:uuid:cbbf0338-752c-4405-8a34-e4d7ed77cc22> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://businessmk.co.uk/articles/council-chamber-of-commerce/milton-keynes-council/help-for-the-homeless-bus-station-to-become-overnight-accommodation/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.972507 | 559 | 1.59375 | 2 |

- Applications now open for research proposals for mining technology solutions
- Extra $6 million over four years provided to Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia as part of State Budget 2022-23
Investing in research to find technological solutions has never been more important for the mining industry to enable it to continue to deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits to Western Australia.
This is why the McGowan Government has committed a further $6 million over the next four years to the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) to enable it to progress research in key focus areas.
In addition to the work already underway on the Net Zero Emission Mining and Green Steel Challenges, applications are now open for research proposals that find technology solutions in the following areas:
- critical minerals - to enable security of supply for international markets and increased downstream processing;
- precision and low impact mining to reduce waste and footprint of the sector;
- alternative uses of tailings and waste from mineral processing, leveraging the principles of circular economy; and
- the uptake of clean energy technologies to support growth in minerals.
For more information, visit https://www.mriwa.wa.gov.au
Comments attributed to Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Johnston:
"While the Western Australian mining sector has continued its strong performance, an opportunity exists to support the advancement of solutions that reduces processing costs and improves environmental outcomes.
"Western Australia should not just be a trusted supplier of commodities, but also a world-leader in innovation and technology.
"Setting an example for other countries by helping to reduce a mine site's environmental footprint and instil low impact mining is essential to delivering change."

There are some very strange places I have dived over the years, inside the retaining wall for the Container Terminal in Botany Bay, exploring up the sewage treatment plant disposal pipes at North Head and Malabar being three of the strangest I can quickly recall. In June 2009 I did another very strange dive.
In mid-2008 Peter Flockart, a member of our dive Club and someone I have known for almost 20 years, sent me a link to a YouTube video that was quite interesting to us as divers and to Peter as a fan of defence fortifications. This video showed a group of people diving into a crack in the reef and surfacing in a tunnel. What's more, this was in Sydney Harbour.
From the video, we figured out the location of the tunnel and decided that on the next available opportunity, we would look for the tunnel and explore it ourselves.
The shores of Sydney Harbour are covered in old fortifications, some dating back to 1800 (there are gun emplacements under the Sydney Harbour Bridge approaches on the south side) with most being built from the period after 1870. More were built during World War II. North Head, South Head, Middle Head are particularly "infested" with fortifications. In addition, Botany Bay has some great ones on the northern headland (I used to explore them as a child when access was easy).
The tunnel shown in the video was on the southern side of Middle Head, between Obelisk Beach and Chowder Bay.
After a dive at North Head in June 2009, we headed over to the location that we suspected housed the tunnel. We soon figured out the exact location as there was a concrete covered cut in the reef. For all intents and purposes, it looked like a drain that you see everywhere in the Harbour and around Sydney.
We anchored a few dozen metres off the shore and Peter and I dropped into the water. We swam over towards the concrete and then descended. As we approached the rock platform, we saw a cutting in the reef. This was not natural, the walls were too perfect. There is a lot of kelp at the approach, I imagine that sometimes it could almost obscure the cutting.
|The entrance to the tunnel||Inside the tunnel, the fins are of my buddy going around to the right|
This cutting is the entrance to the tunnel. The depth is only a few metres and there is a bit of surge as we move into the tunnel. The tunnel goes for about five metres in one direction and then turns about 30° to the right. It is a bit less than five metres before we are forced to surface. The tunnel is fairly dark near the bend, but before that and after it is relatively light.
Once we have surfaced, we can see light streaming in from above. Ahead of us are a set of stairs that ascend up inside the cliff-face. At the top there appears to be a door and possibly a tunnel leading off from the stairs. We could not explore further as the the jump from where we are standing to the next step above is far too high for us to climb up wearing full scuba gear. In addition, it is too surgy to take off the gear and then climb up.
I take a couple of photographs, but it is difficult getting the strobe to face upwards as it is too "limp" above water. Photos to follow in a few days.
|The steps inside the tunnel|
We drop back under the water and swim out the entrance and back to the boat. A very different dive!
In early 2017 I discover what this tunnel was actually used for. Both Peter and I had tried numerous times to find out more about the purpose of the tunnel and in January 2017 the tunnel was featured on a Sydney TV News report in a story that claimed it was a new discovery. Not really!!
Anyway, I was contacted by Tony Steinbeck who sent me photographs he took back in the 1980s (I think) of the inside of the tunnel and the casemate. He also provided me with the purpose of the tunnel! It turns out it was built in the 1800s so that cables could run from the shore to mines laid in the harbour. Whether these mines were actually laid or this was all preparation I still do not know. So now we know the purpose of the tunnel.
Back in 2009 I said that we planned to return when the tide was high as we figured we would then be able to get up onto the first step and then take off our gear and explore the tunnel further. We still have not got around to doing this, maybe in a year or two. | <urn:uuid:5a66c31f-e4a6-4d78-b0fa-9e9e59f2df4e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mail.michaelmcfadyenscuba.info/viewpage.php?page_id=749 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.98093 | 957 | 2.359375 | 2 |
This is a principle that I think is really important for us to remember. Before we were born we lived with Heavenly Father as spirits. We agreed to follow His plan to come to earth and receive bodies and to be tried and tested before we would return to live with Him after death.
What we must consider is that we knew what we were signing up to do. I know that I knew that I was going to have a very hard life and I still decided that it was worth the price that I would have to pay. So, considering that I know that I am a very intelligent person, I know that I would have never agreed to be born and come to earth for a test that wouldn’t be worth the final reward.
So, the next time you are wondering if the struggles that you are going through are worth it in the end, the answer is yes! Think about the fact that you had the choice before you were born to come to earth and be tested and you knew in advance many, if not all of the adversity that you would face. Ponder about the fact that you knew what you would be facing and you still chose to do it.
Heavenly Father never said that this life would be easy. The tests and trials that we experience are designed to teach us the lessons that we need learn to become the son’s and daughter’s that we are born to become. They teach us in ways that we could never learn without them. After all, how do you teach long-suffering if you never suffer? Or endurance if there is nothing to endure? The answer is you don’t.
So, it is up to us to accept the fact that life is suppose to be hard. Yes, there will be joy but that comes only after we have learned to accept adversity as our teacher and friend. | <urn:uuid:81c27fe5-89d4-40d3-a511-05e166b87a68> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.beautifulashesmemoir.com/life-lesson-5-we-agreed-to-the-plan/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.994016 | 378 | 1.523438 | 2 |
Orange County’s underground hate-music scene was fading. Then a Wisconsin killing spree turned the spotlight back on.
The photos don’t portray Orange County at its finest.
In some, you can see Wade Michael Page, his head shorn to stubble and his arms covered with tattoos, churning away on a guitar. Other skinheads stand next to him on stage, their chests and arms a mishmash of inked symbols, including what look to be a swastika and a Confederate flag. One picture is from a gig Page played in 2011, but others date back a decade, to when Page made Orange County—and its fringe hatecore music scene—his home.
It’s chilling to realize that the chunky guitarist in the photo would open fire at a Sikh temple outside Milwaukee last August, killing six people and wounding three others before, already wounded by an officer, taking his own life. But it’s more frightening to sense the sweep of time, and the persistent nature of hate and racism captured in those photos.
I first began writing about the hate movement a quarter century ago as a reporter for The Detroit News. Robert E. Miles, a former Klansman and one of the conceptual forces behind the modern white-supremacist movement, lived in Michigan. “Pastor Bob” preached a virulent religion known as Christian Identity in which Jews are seen as Satan’s soldiers, and God supposedly created blacks from mud to serve whites. Miles also once told me he saw himself as something akin to the Johnny Appleseed of white supremacy, sowing the seeds of racism wherever he went. He believed the white race would be preserved through “leaderless resistance”—by lone wolves primed to strike on their own, leaving no conspiratorial trails for prosecutors to follow. And the most fertile grounds, Miles believed, were prisons and the military.
He was right. The hate movement found recruits, such as Army veteran and anti-government zealot Timothy McVeigh, whose 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City killed 168 people and injured more than 800. Page, whose formal education ended with high school, also was an Army vet. He left the military with a “less-than-honorable discharge,” drifted for a while, had and lost a live-in girlfriend, and didn’t stand out among former neighbors and co-workers, according to news stories at the time of the Wisconsin massacre.
The 40-year-old Page left no notes explaining why he loaded a 9-millimeter semiautomatic handgun, grabbed some extra clips of bullets, and headed for the temple. But as Bob Dylan once sang, you don’t need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows. Miles, who died in 1992, would have been proud of Page’s murders. As apparently were Page’s peers in the Orange County hatecore band Armed and Ready, which posted on its Facebook page: “R.I.P. BROTHER WADE, OUT WITH A WHIMPER OR OUT WITH A BANG, ITS [sic] YOUR CHOICE. MAY HIS FAMILY AND COMRADES STAY STRONG THROUGH THIS ORDEAL.” Other than that Internet shout-out, Page’s act and his death had little impact on his old scene here in Orange County. A spotlight flashed on for a few days, then quickly faded. But the world he inhabited is still here.
Hatecore emerged in the late 1970s as a mutation of the British skinhead movement, with racist punkers carving their own niche with “Oi” music—harsh in tone, played machine fast, with brutal lyrics brutally delivered. It grew in the U.S. primarily through Detroit-area Resistance Records, which eventually was bought by the late William Pierce, leader of the neo-Nazi National Alliance and author of “The Turner Diaries,” the race-war novel that heavily influenced McVeigh. The band names echoed with aggression. Skrewdriver. Max Resist. RaHoWa, the band of Resistance founder George Burdi, took its name from a shortened reference to racial holy war. And Page’s last band, End Apathy, which built a call to action into its name.
Measuring the movement is difficult. Mark Potok, who monitors hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., says, “These scenes are hard to discern from the outside. They exist, really, in a netherworld that is not visible to the rest of us.”
The Orange County hate-music crowd is a secretive bunch. The band Armed and Ready rebuffed Orange Coast’s request for an interview with a polite, “Thank you for your inquiry, but no one is interested.” Recent local concerts have been produced by Daily Reminder Productions; emails requesting an interview went unanswered.
So concerned are these groups about outsiders gaining access—or protesters targeting concerts—that the gigs are advertised by word of mouth, email, or websites. The date, general location, and scheduled bands are listed with a violent or provocative image and an email address to request more details; those who pass the vetting are given the gig’s location.
These concerts often bring unwanted attention to the places they’re staged. Occasionally, mainstream venues have found themselves hosting hatecore concerts. OC Weekly delighted in outing one at a La Habra Moose lodge in 2002; the show was canceled after the club learned it wouldn’t be the light social gathering it had been told to expect. But other gigs have gone on, such as a 2009 concert booked at the Doll Hut in Anaheim by a young couple who told the manager they wanted to hold a wedding reception. Once the concert started, OC Weekly reported, the bar decided to let it run to avoid a showdown.
While hatecore has a bigger following in Europe these days than in the States, it still has fans in Orange County. It’s a distinctly small community of cross-pollinated bands, which in recent years centered around Martin Cox, who was the lead singer for the O.C. white-power band Youngland when Page joined the group. Cox was one of the more visible faces of that music movement in the 1980s and ’90s, appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and in documentaries about the movement. The vibrant scene ebbed after Cox left for Idaho about 2009. “He really helped organize a lot of white-power music events while he was in O.C.,” says Mark Pitcavage, investigative research director for the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks the hate movement. “Though not as active as before, it has not gone away.”
A decade ago, Pitcavage says, there were several white-power music events in the county each year, a pace that since has dropped off. A 2010 gathering in Capistrano Beach, Pitcavage says, was partially a fundraiser to help Cox pay medical bills tied to what OC Weekly described as two heart attacks. A flyer for the show, advertised as “Guilty of Being White,” included a photo of Nazis leaders at Nuremberg.
Pete Simi, a University of Nebraska professor who knew Page, pegs the local scene’s decline to the death of neo-Nazi Pierce, which weakened the National Alliance, and, by extension, Resistance Records. With less promotion, there were fewer gigs, fewer sales, and less fuel for the racist fires. Still, Pitcavage says: “I don’t think the Orange County white-power music scene is going to disappear.” He may be right. In what Pitcavage says was likely one of Page’s last visits to Orange County, he played in the bands Definite Hate and 13 Knots (a reference to the number of coils in a noose) at a 2011 concert billed as the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.”
Potok, who edits the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report and its “Hatewatch” blog, agrees with Pitcavage that the lower profile of the local hatecore scene may be deceptive. “Even if it appears to disappear, what has probably happened is that it has gone into smaller clubs or private venues, such as people’s houses.”
Page, right, who grew up in Colorado, the product of a broken home, and was largely an apolitical punk music fan until 1992 when he entered the Army and was drawn to the white supremacist movement, according to Simi, the Nebraska professor and co-author of “American Swastika: Inside the White Power Movement’s Hidden Spaces of Hate.” Simi spent time with Page in Orange County in 2001, and says Page’s racist awakening grew from friendships with white supremacist soldiers and from what he perceived as special treatment of black soldiers in promotions and discipline. “He told me that things were set up, that the deck was stacked against whites, more or less, in the military,” Simi says. The hate movement gave him a structure for processing that. “He said he began to realize that’s how society is in general.”
After Page left the Army in 1998 (he never was deployed overseas), he traveled the country by motorcycle seeking connections in the movement. He met members of Youngland at a hatecore show in Georgia. “That kind of spurred him to want to relocate,” Simi says. Page moved to Orange County, lived with a skinhead roommate, frequented bars in Old Towne Orange, and joined the band. No one suggests that O.C.’s white-power music scene spun Page off to an insane expression of unfathomable hatred. He came here with a belief in white supremacy and a desire to fit in, as odd as that might seem in this ethnic melting pot.
Orange County’s race-shaded past is no secret, from the Ku Klux Klan patrolling the streets of Anaheim in the early 1920s, to the influence of the John Birch Society in the ’50s and ’60s. History may have helped white-power music resonate more widely here than elsewhere. (Washington, D.C., for example, had a thriving hard-core punk scene, but a weak hatecore scene.) As the O.C. punk scene grew in the early ’80s, so did hate music, with the testosterone-powered rage acquiring a layer of racist lyrics.
Page’s murderous rampage in the Wisconsin Sikh temple is abhorrent in the present, but also, for me, chilling for the sweep of modern American history that it represents. We want to see such killings as one-off acts by the crazed. But to believe that requires a certain level of blindness.
Few remember the 1980s campaign by The Order, a white-supremacist gang that committed a series of armed robberies and killed Denver radio talk-show host Alan Berg. Or Richard G. Butler’s Idaho compound for the Aryan Nations, a loose collection of racist misfits that was to be the core of the new Aryan homeland. In 1988, I covered part of the sedition trial of 13 leaders of the hate movement, including Miles, the Michigan racist, and Butler, in Fort Smith, Ark. The heart of the U.S. Justice Department’s case was evidence that the defendants had plotted the murders of a federal judge and an FBI agent, and conspired to dump a barrel of cyanide into, as they called it, the “Jew York City” water system. The all-white jury found the government’s case outlandish, and its witnesses too unreliable, to be taken seriously, and acquitted all 13 men, six of whom already were serving lengthy prison terms for other acts of racial violence, including murder. A few months later, one of the jurors was living with one of the defendants.
Miles, the guru of the white-separatist movement, had earlier spent six years in prison for the 1971 firebombing of empty school buses in an attempt to halt the desegregation of Michigan schools. Hewas among the most dangerous men in the ’80s movement not because of the violence he committed himself, which was rare, but because of his disarming personality, grandfatherly looks, communication skills, and his recognition that the best way to spread hate was through education—the same tactic used by those fighting for equality and tolerance.
An oddity of the movement in those days was that even though its adherents believed journalists were doing the work of the “Jewish conspiracy,” some were eager to talk. I interviewed Miles several times over the years. Before the sedition trial, I was back at his 70-acre farm an hour’s drive northwest of Detroit, where he had hosted regular opengatherings that sometimes concluded with cross burnings. We sat at the dining room table, his wife, Dottie, doing household chores nearby. He offered coffee, and as we started the interview, he pointed to the chandelier over the table. Speak clearly,he joked, so the FBI can hear the conversation. We talked about the movement’s goals, which included carving out a whites-only homeland in the Pacific Northwest. I asked him what first steps he would take should the hate movement win. He would, he said evenly, come for me.
I’ve interviewed others in the movement since then. One, August Kreis, established a compound in rural northwest Pennsylvania in the mid-’90s, where he hosted gatherings and hatecore concerts, and scared the hell out of his neighbors, most of whom were politicalconservatives with their own guns. In an echo of my interview with Miles, we sat at a table in Kreis’ house, a Bible and a loaded handgun between us. Kreis made no overt threats. He explained that while I was using him for a story, he was using me to spread his message.
The hate movement doesn’t talk so much any more. I tried getting in touch with Cox, the man Pitcavage placed at the center of the last surge of O.C. hatecore, for an interview for this article, hoping for his assessment of the local white-power scene. With some creative searching—Cox uses a slightly different name on Facebook—a message got through.
Cox wanted money to talk. “I don’t do media for free. I’m a long-standing person in this scene and I don’t do any interviews without payment. You pay and you get one of the best. That’s all I’m saying. I moved out of the O.C., however I am still connected to the scene because that is my roots.”
I messaged back that I don’t pay for interviews, so I would have to move on.
“Yup. You might be better off,” Cox replied. “I might hurt your feelings anyways.”
Not likely. But when beliefs and actions are beyond defense, maybe we’re all better off not bothering with explanations.

“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.”
As I come to this passage in Leviticus, I am immediately reminded of Jesus’ words in his great sermon on the mount:
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
The first thing I notice in the Leviticus passage is the constancy of the lamp. The people of Israel were commanded to “make the lamps burn continually.” In Matthew, we’re told that no one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. That defeats the purpose. The point of lighting a lamp is so that the lamp can give light! Right? Yet many who proclaim to be the light of the world, followers of Christ, have missed that very point.
Notice notice how Jesus describes us, the shining light: “That they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” The light is our good works which point people to Christ in us. We were changed, and we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit so that we might do good works that would point beyond us to the work of Christ in our lives. Letting our light shine is simply living out the Gospel and following Christ openly in the world. Doing good, Christ-honoring, and Christ-glorifying works is precisely the reason why we were saved:
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
How many of us are walking around with a lamp (life) that is only burning when we feel like lighting it? We show up on Sunday and we light our “Christian” lamp so we look good for our church buddies. Then, come Monday morning, we quickly stifle that flame because we have a different image to uphold at work, in our homes, or among our other group of friends. We stop doing good works. We stop glorifying Christ. We put a basket over the light which Christ has lit in our lives. I think many of us, if we were honest, would admit that the light of Christ in their life has faded since they were first converted.
That brings me to what really struck me about this passage in Leviticus. We all know we’re supposed to shine our light before men. Many of us recall the children’s song This Little Light of Mine in which we boldly heralded, Hide it under a bushel? NO! I’m gonna let it shine!! However, simply knowing and singing about this truth doesn’t tell us what’s needed to make it happen. Leviticus reminds us that in order to keep the lamps burning, the people needed to “bring pure oil of pressed olives for the lamps.”
Fire needs fuel. Light does not exist in a vacuum. It needs a source of power. If we are going to keep our lamps burning continually we are also going to have to bring some pure oil for them to feed off of. So let me ask you this: What lights your fire? What gets you burning brighter for Christ? I came up with the following list that is relevant to my own life:
Personal Daily Bible Study
Personal Daily Prayer
Listening to the Word Preached Regularly
Praising God in Song (individually & corporately)
Communing with the Saints
Partaking in the Lord’s Supper Regularly
There are more I could list, but I would encourage all of us to continually run through a fire fuel check-list and determine if we’re doing what’s necessary to keep “pure oil” in the lamps of our lives. If you feel like the “fire” of your life is being extinguished it is probably due to a lack of fuel represented by one or more of these areas. 1 Thessalonians 5 says that we are not to “quench the Spirit.” One way to ensure that the Spirit isn’t quenched, and the “lamp burns continually,” is to make sure you’re giving the Holy Spirit something to feed off of.

Another Health in Kind Initiative
Northern Gold Coast Service Opportunity at Toogoolawa School
The youth of Southeast Queensland had the opportunity to provide a healthy living session on healthy eating and drinking habits to the students of the Toogoolawa School in Ormeau (approximately 30 minutes south of Brisbane) on the June 6, 2017. This school is an independent school of approximately 75 boys who have difficulty in functioning in mainstream schooling and are basically given a second chance at obtaining an education with the added bonus of a focus on character development.
It was fortunate that a nurse from Health in Kind was able to deliver this session to all students of the school which added much value to the overall delivery of the messages for the students. The key messages were around the importance of being able to identify the right types of food and drink to ensure a healthy diet.
The students engaged extremely well with the presentation which we took as a surrogate indicator of the value of this presentation. They were very open to new information which was very pleasing to see. Additionally, the staff were very welcoming and appreciative of the session. They indicated how valuable this session was for the students and were keen for Health in Kind to come back and re-present the healthy diet session to reinforce the content.
The principal was very grateful for the interest that Health in Kind displayed towards supporting the well-being of the students of Toogoolawa School and their families. The next healthy living session will involve the Australian Football League coming along to sessions around physical activity in July over three sessions.

Based on the Peer2Peer course, this course gives an overview of essential knowledge of peer-support including recovery theory and peer values.
We deliver these as two separate courses of 4 x 2h contact sessions for online delivery – level 1 is Essentials and level 2 is Next Steps. In-person delivery can be residential or over a number of ½ day or day sessions. Additionally, mentoring and supported self-study is costed as part of the course.
What is peer-support? Peer Support can be used by anyone with any kind of life experience. It occurs when people provide knowledge, experience, emotional, social or practical help to each other. Peer support is distinct from other forms of social support in that the source of support is a peer, a person who is similar in fundamental ways to the recipient of the support; their relationship is one of equality. An effective peer-support relationship is mutual, authentic and intentional.
As human beings we are all peers of mental health experiences, wellbeing and life challenges - Self-awareness of the fact that we all have fluctuating health and can experience distress at any time, can be harnessed as a powerful tool to empower ourselves and others.
This course is designed to hone your peer-support skills for any life role you choose.
Background: Peer2Peer was developed as a result of a European Union-funded partnership project (that included the Scottish Recovery Network) to train people with lived experience of mental health problems to support others in their recovery.
Individuals wishing to bring their ‘whole self’ in to roles within communities or their own organisations.

The Average Child Gets Their First Smart Phone at Age 10
Kids are being introduced to technology earlier and earlier, whether we like it or not!
According to a new report, the average age a kid gets their first smartphone is about 10-years-old. Additionally, 39% of kids get a social media account at about 11. Smartphones and social media kind of go hand-in-hand, so that's not much of a surprise.
I think back to when I got my first cell phone, which was when I was in 8th grade. Smartphones weren't a thing back in 2004, so my phone wasn't anything special. It was a flip-phone with a blue screen, and all I could do was play crappy games and make phone calls. It didn't matter, though, because I felt like I was in a whole new world. A little later, my parents upgraded me to a pink RAZR, and I don't remember a time in my life when I was more excited than that. The screen was in COLOR! The phone had a CAMERA! I could record music and set it as my RINGTONE! Can you even believe it?
When I got to high school, technology started to advance very quickly, which was a problem for teenage Courtlin, because my parents absolutely refused to pay for texting and internet. I had one of those phones with a pull-out keyboard, but it was of no use to me. When I was 17 I had a job, so I went out and bought a pay-as-you-go phone from one of those crappy little companies, and I paid $50 a month for unlimited texting and internet. I didn't get my first iPhone until I was about 20, and I've had one ever since.
I really think there's no wrong or right time to give your child a smartphone or a universal age to let them use social media. It's 100% up to the parent on when they think their child is ready for the responsibilities that come with it. Having a smart phone is a privilege and not a right! Especially if the parent is the one paying for it...
We want to know what your phone/social media rules are at home. How old do/did your kids have to be before they got a smart phone? What are the privileges they have with their phones? Share your personal policies in the comments!

The pain is getting to the point where it is all you can think about. It’s getting hard to concentrate on things you enjoy or even relax and watch television. You hate going to the doctor, but need a solution and fast. If this sounds like you then finding the strongest OTC pain reliever is a must!
The only problem is once you walk in the pharmacy you will see a whole row of pain relievers. All with flashy marketing on the bottle and phrases that make them sound too good to be true. So which one should you pick?
In general treating pain needs to be something you discuss with your doctor. You want to make sure it is not something serious and figure out how to treat the cause of the pain. However, many types of pain can be made tolerable with self treatment using OTC pain relievers. Examples of pain commonly treated with OTC medication include:
|Back pain||Dental pain||Gout flares|
1. The Good News About OTC Pain Relievers
Most people report that OTC pain relievers work. Which is good since it is estimated that in 2019 people spent almost 2 billion dollars on them!
Each kind of pain medicine has benefits and risks. Some types of pain respond better to one kind of medicine than to another kind. What takes away your pain might not work for someone else, or vise versa.
A final piece of good news is that OTC pain relievers are not habit forming like many prescription options can be. Also, the risk of addiction is also lower than with prescription pain relievers like opioids.
2. What Is The Most Powerful Over The Counter Pain Killer?
There is not a direct comparison of how strong one OTC pain reliever is compared to another one. What you person may find relief from may not help another person as much. The reason for that is that all the oral OTC pain relievers work on a similar process in the body. However, in slightly different ways.
How Do OTC Pain Relievers Work?
It starts with something called arachidonic acid that is present in the body. When there is an injury or the immune system sense damage that need repaired arachidonic acid gets the nod. Then enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX) go to work. They convert the arachidonic acid into substances that help the body respond to the injury. These substances are thromboxanes, prostaglandins and prostacyclins.
Cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2)
Once these three key substances are formed they get to work doing the following functions.
|Thromboxanes||Cause platelets to stick together creating a blood clots.|
|Prostaglandins||Cause blood vessels to dilate or relax, letting more blood into the area. They also increase the temperature of the body in the hypothalamus located in the brain. Finally, they play a role in pain perception.|
|Prostacyclins||Cause blood vessels to dilate or relax, letting more blood into the area.|
NSAIDs are OTC pain relievers that block the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. NSAID stands for non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. They were given this name because they are not structurally similar to steroids but have many of the same effects. Especially, when it comes to fighting inflammation.
By blocking the COX enzymes they are able to reduce pain by stopping the formation of all three chemicals. Although the majority of the benefits are tied to reducing levels of prostaglandins.
What Are NSAIDs Used For?
NSAIDs are the most common OTC pain reliever found on pharmacy shelves. They are used for the following issues:
- Reduce swelling from inflammation
NSAIDs work quickly, usually within 30 minutes of taking a dose. However, they do not last all day. Therefore, most will need to be taken multiple times per day to continue pain relief. When used for a short duration (3 days or less) there are few side effects.
Not All NSAIDs Are The Same
NSAIDs are broken into five groups based on their chemical structure. If you don’t get relief from any one class then one of the drugs in the other NSAID class may help your pain. However, only two different classes of NSAIDs are for sale OTC. The table below lists these types of NSAIDs classes.
|NSAID Class||Example Drugs|
|Propionic acids||Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Anaprox)|
Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
The three other classes of NSAID’s are available only via prescription. Therefore, you would have to see your doctor to get one of these medications. If the OTC varieties don’t work this is probably a good next step to try and find relief from your pain. In addition, higher strengths of some OTC NSAIDs are prescription only.
Prescription only NSAIDs are listed in the table below.
|Ketoprofen (Orudis)||Flurbiprofen (Ansaid)|
|Ketorolac (Toradol)||Fenoprofen (Nalfon)|
|Diflunisal (Dolobid)||Tolmentin (Tolectin)|
|Meclofenamate (Meclomen)||Mefenamic acid (Ponstel)|
|Meloxicam (Mobic)||Piroxicam (Feldene)|
COX-1 vs COX-2
When taken for short durations, NSAIDs are typically safe for most people. However, extended use for 10 days or more can lead to side effects. Most notably problems with the stomach and kidneys are the issue. These side effects can be tied back to the fact that COX-1 is found in large amounts in these areas of the body.
COX-2 is typically only found when there is inflammation present. Therefore, it would be great to be able to block COX-2 and leave COX-1 alone to lessen the risk of side effects. Which is why COX-2 selective NSAIDs were created.
Today there is only one COX-2 selective NSAID still available in the U.S. The other versions were taken off the market due to concerns around heart failure. COX-2’s are prescription only medications. If you will need to be on NSAID’s for long periods it may make sense to ask your doctor about this option.
Acetaminophen is another very widely used OTC pain reliever. It is the first line treatment for osteoarthritis pain according to the American College of Rheumatology. The key benefit is the risk of adverse effects is lower than that of NSAIDs. That is good news because many patients need to use OTC pain relievers for long periods of time.
What Is Acetaminophen Used For?
Similar to NSAIDs, acetaminophen is used for the following:
It is important to note that it is not used to reduce inflammation. That has to do with how it works. Acetaminophen blocks the action of prostaglandins however it only seems to act in the central nervous system. That is why it won’t block inflammation in other parts of the body.
3. What Is The Strongest Over The Counter Painkiller For Back Pain?
Back pain can be very hard to deal with. This is because your spine is the system that holds your body up when standing and walking. It also can make it difficult to lay down and rest if your having back pain. Getting relief is a must to be able to function and thrive.
For short term back pain from a muscle pull or sprain, NSAIDs are probably first choice to help decrease the swelling. If the pain if more chronic or long term then acetaminophen is a better choice. Long term exposure to NSAID’s puts you at risk of side effects.
Back pain is also a great candidate for topical pain relievers as well. Lidocaine patches to numb the sore areas are a great way to help people get good sleep. Sleep is key to repairing and healing the body (which is what the inflammation is trying to do)
Another secret weapon for back pain are creams, ointments or gels that you can rub into the affected areas. There are several different ways these products work to relieve pain which means more likelihood of comfort by combining them. Topical pain reliever options include:
- Examples: Voltaren gel, Trolamine salicylate
- Example: Menthol, Camphor
- Example: Capsaicin cream & ointment
4. What Is The Safest Over The Counter Pain Reliever?
Most OTC pain relievers are relatively safe, otherwise they would not be allowed to be sold without a prescription. However do not fool yourself into thinking that all these medications are completely harmless either. Two major factors come into play for the safety of OTC medications.
The dose you take can be the difference in pain relief and ongoing, nagging pain. Generally speaking taking a high enough dose to get the pain under control and then using a lower dose to maintain the pain is a best practice.
An example would be taking 200mg of ibuprofen so you can sleep through the night due to hip pain. That dose is not likely to be high enough to last until you wake up. You may want to take 400mg or 600mg instead.
With dose you want to make sure you don’t exceed daily maximums. These are listed in the table below for your reference. Talk to your doctor about what is the right dose for you.
|Drug||Maximum Daily Dose|
|Acetaminophen||4,000mg / day if under 65|
3,000mg / day if over 65
|Ibuprofen||3,200mg / day|
|Naproxen||1,500mg / day|
|Diclofenac||150mg / day|
|Aspirin||4,000mg / day|
Watch out for combination products! This is especially true for acetaminophen which finds its way into many OTC and prescription medications. Read the labels make sure you are not taking more than one drug that has acetaminophen in it.
Typically acetaminophen is the safest OTC option but if the dose is too high it can be toxic to the liver.
Long term use of NSAIDs on a daily basis can have side effects. One major concern is stomach ulcers and bleeding risk. In addition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning for increased risk of heart attack and stroke with extended use. Don’t taken these medications for longer than you really need to. Remember other options exist such as topical medications and lifestyle modifications, click here for some examples of these.
Acetaminophen is the safer option if ongoing treatment is required. It does not have the risk of ulcers, bleeding or heart attack and stroke. The key thing to remember with acetaminophen is not to take too much per day. Otherwise your liver can get depleted on glutathione, which helps it metabolize acetaminophen.
5. What Is The Best Natural Pain Killer?
There are many dietary supplements on the market that claim to help with pain relief. Unfortunately, there is often not much clinical evidence to support many of these claims.
Another concern is knowing how reliable the manufacturer of the product is. Does the product actually have as much of the active ingredient as it claims? Also, what about other ingredients in the supplement… is it safe to use?
Turmeric comes from the root of a plant that is often grown in India and parts of Asia. The root is ground into a powder that is used in food preparation mostly as a spice. It has also been used in eastern medicine for thousands of years.
Although adding turmeric into your diet can be a great idea, getting high enough doses to treat pain would require large amounts. Therefore the root has also been sold and studied as a dietary supplement.
Studies have shown that curcumin the active ingredient in turmeric is effective at treating numerous painful conditions. It does this through antiinflammatory and antioxidant effects.
The typical dose that helps relieve pain is around 500mg two to three times per day. It is recommended to not go above 2,000mg per day. Start with a lower dose and increase slowly to see how you tolerate it.
Quick Note On Dietary Supplements
It is important to remember that not all dietary supplements are the same. Look for one that carries the seal of USP (United States Pharmacopeia).
For Turmeric they recommend two products:
- Nature Made
Talk To Your Doctor Or Pharmacist
As with any supplement or OTC product you take it is important to discuss with your healthcare team. They need to know what you take in addition to any prescription medications you may be taking. There could be a chance for drug interactions.
In the case of turmeric at high doses it could act as a blood thinner. This may interact with other medications you take or be problematic if you have certain diseases.
You may also want to combine turmeric with other pain relievers if one doesn’t provide enough relief. This would also be a great topic of conversation with your healthcare team.
6. What Can I Take For Severe Pain?
In most cases severe pain will require a prescription medication. You may be able to take OTC medications or natural supplements with those medications. However you need to confirm that with your doctor.
Topical agents can also be a great way to target pain and be additive to stronger pain relievers.
Once you reach the point of severe pain you probably want to look into a comprehensive pain management plan. This plan would include not only drugs but lifestyle changes and coping mechanisms that can really help to alleviate the pain. In addition, this plan should try to solve the root cause of the pain in addition to just masking pain symptoms.
7. Key Points For OTC Pain Relievers
1. Don’t use NSAIDs for more than 10 days without talking to a doctor or pharmacist.
2. Look for signs of ulcers and stomach bleeding if you take NSAIDs often.
3. Think about acetaminophen if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease or take blood thinning medication.
4. Many OTC medications contain acetaminophen. Don’t take more than the daily limit!
5. If you drink alcohol frequently then you may want to avoid acetaminophen.
6. Combining OTC pain relievers can be a great way to get pain under control.
7. Naproxen has a longer duration than Ibuprofen (12 hours vs 6-8 hours). Therefore, naproxen might be a better choice if you don’t want to remember to take the medication several times per day.

The writer, philosopher, and trailblazing feminist Mary Wollstonecraft is perhaps best known as the mother of the author of Frankenstein, but this amazing figure deserves more attention than a line in Mary Shelley’s biography. As the author of classic works like Thoughts on the Education of Daughters and A Vindication of the Rights of Women, Wollstonecraft advanced arguments hundreds of years ahead of her time.
In this episode, Jacke talks with screenwriter and novelist Samantha Silva (Mr. Dickens and His Carol) about her approach to writing novels, her immersion in the world of Wollstonecraft, and the pleasures and insights that her new work Love and Fury: A Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft can give to the rest of us.

Although there are countless moments, like those of pain and loss, that leave me feeling incredibly sad, there are also ones that leave me laughing and crying with a reminder of my deep love for my people. Most of the latter come via what I call “life lessons,” those bits of wisdom that only the elders can deliver. Here’s one of those gems:
“So many folks been here long as me, but don’t want to admit it. They black their hair and whiten their faces, and powder and paint. ‘Course it’s good to look good all right. But when you start that stuff, you got to keep it up. Tain’t no use to start and stop. After a while you got that same color hair and them same splotches again. Folks say, ‘What’s the matter, you gittin’ so dark?’ Then you say, ‘Uh, my liver is bad.’ You got to keep that thing up, baby.”
Ms. Alice Johnson, age 77, Little Rock, Arkansas, in Arkansas Narratives Part 4 (Kindle, loc 649-53).
That’s a life lesson mixed in with some wisdom shade.

Chick-fil-A is testing another version of delivery using autonomous bots.
The Atlanta-based chain on Tuesday said it is testing in a limited number of units in California, Texas and Florida a fleet of delivery robots. In Austin, Texas, the test is in partnership with Refraction AI.
In one unit in Austin, Chick-fil-A operator Luke Steigmeyer said the robots have helped raise awareness of delivery from the restaurant, allowing him to reach more people in the area. Refraction AI has also worked with another restaurant in the same neighborhood: Southside Flying Pizza.
“Two-thirds of my business is delivery, and I have built a team that is hungry for the next wave of digital advancements as our business continues to grow,” Steigmeyer said in a statement.
The goal is to cut delivery costs and enhance restaurant operations, said Chick-fil-A in announcing the test.
The insulated robots can travel up to 15 miles per hour, and are able to navigate through traffic, pedestrians, as well as car and bike lanes, mall parking lots and sidewalks, to designated drop-off spots, the company said.
During the test period, “safety chasers” follow the vehicles to ensure a smooth journey and answer questions, as well as learning how to improve the experience. Guests are alerted by text when the robot arrives, along with instructions for retrieving their order.
It’s not the first time Chick-fil-A has tested delivery bots. Last year, the company tested the use of Kiwibots, four-wheeled semi-autonomous rovers, in Southern California. The company said tests are ongoing in California and Florida, but officials declined to disclose the other robot partners they are working with.
Many other chains have also tested autonomous delivery in various forms, including Chili’s, Domino’s, Pizza Hut and Kitchen United.
Uber last month said it will be testing autonomous delivery in Los Angeles with two types of bots: Serve Robotics and Motional. Chipotle Mexican Grill has invested in the delivery-vehicle tech company Nuro. The virtual-brand operator C3 is working with the Coco robot delivery service.
CORRECTION: This story has been updated to clarify the Refraction AI test is limited to Austin, Texas. The company declined to disclose robot providers in test in California and Florida.

May the force with you
The force was strong in Amazon today!
Today in Amazon we were thinking about forces in Science. The children thought about the forces that act on a body when it is stationary and what happens when an external force acts on it. Some of the children tried to make a Newton's Cradle themselves which proved to be quite difficult! However they persevered and it actually worked with the force transferring through the balls from one end to the other. | <urn:uuid:43c254ab-0ba9-4bd8-a955-bf2bf8f2470a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.stanton-st-quintin.wilts.sch.uk/news/?pid=20&nid=5&storyid=90 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.986558 | 95 | 2.21875 | 2 |

Despite the presence of scrapie associated fibrils in the brain tissue is characteristic ultrastructural for prion diseases, appropriate morphological structure of prions during the development of this disease is still unclear. The host prion protein (PrP) is encoded by the PrP gene (PRNP) found on chromosome 20 in humans and chromosome 2 in mice.
More recently, a novel correlative light and electron microscopy with Mini Singlet Oxygen Generator (miniSOG) is generated. MiniSOG, small protein 106 amino acids, Elisa kits can absorb blue light and emits green fluorescence was detected under a fluorescence microscope. MiniSOG can also catalyze the polymerization DAB portion to form a black-stained structures in the presence of osmium tetroxide, which can be observed under transmission electron microscope.
Two kind Recombinant proteins miniSOG-PrP expressing the resulting recombinant plasmid. photooxidation correlative and the transmission electron microscope is used to detect this plasmid.
Plasmids were microinjected into fertilized eggs FVB / NJ and Tg mice expressing miniSOG-PrP fusion protein was selected after a row raised withPRNP KO Tg mice.
Both strains of Tg mice, TgSOG23 and Tg231SOG, develop normally and maintained a healthy without abnormality is detected after one year of observation. Western blot and immunohistochemical test with the PRP and miniSOG specific antibodies confirms that the chimeric protein miniSOG-PrP expressed in brain tissue of Tg mice. Digital PCR tests suggest that the number of external gene copies inserted in TgSOG23 and Tg231SOG are 2 and 12, respectively.
Compared with the GFP tag miniSOG significantly smaller, which makes it easy to operate experiments and may have less influence on the biological function of a protein labeled. In addition, the GFP tag is an ideal marker for immunofluorescent tests, but may not be suitable for ultrastructural test for prion morphology.
Those Tg can supply new and useful animal models for further study on the formation of a potential morphological structures and deposits of prions in brain tissue during prion infection. | <urn:uuid:a22d86bc-b45e-4eda-8fd2-f41fe54ac63c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.protocol-online.org/forums/topic/39029-generation-and-characterization-of-two-strains-of-transgene-mice-expressing-chimeric-minisog-musprp/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.904126 | 467 | 2.828125 | 3 |
Arizona Explained: James Parker, outlaw
- Parker was arrested after trying to rob a train.
- He killed a district attorney in an escape attempt.
- He was hanged in Prescott in 1898.
James Fleming Parker never much cared about the finer points of the law, especially those pertaining to the ownership of cattle.
But he knew and appreciated good horses.
So he was understandably upset when a train killed a couple of his ponies that had wandered onto the tracks. He was even more upset when the Atlantic & Pacific railroad offered him a skimpy settlement.
That, he figured, left him no choice. The only way to make things even would be to rob one of its trains.
Like a lot of Westerners, Parker had a tough life. He was born in 1865 in Visalia, Calif. His mother died when he was 10; his father committed suicide four years later. By the time Parker was 15, he'd been sentenced to a term in San Quentin State Prison for stealing cattle.
Afterward, he bounced back and forth between Arizona and California. He was good with horses and often worked as a wrangler. But he continued to have a casual attitude about the law and wound up serving another term in San Quentin for burglary.
During one of his stays in Arizona, Parker apparently became acquainted with George Ruffner, who later became Prescott's most revered lawman. One account says Parker took part, along with Ruffner, in the rodeo of July 4, 1888, which Prescott claims is the world's first.
Eventually, Parker fell in with a gang known for swiping cattle across northern Arizona and selling them in Nevada.
It was around this time that Parker figured the railroad was practically forcing him to become a train robber. So, with an accomplice from the gang, he held up an Atlantic & Pacific train near Peach Springs on Feb. 8, 1897.
It did not go well.
His accomplice was shot and killed; Parker hightailed it out of there without the loot he'd planned to grab.
He was arrested about a week later and taken to the Yavapai County jail in Prescott where, supposedly, many of the townsfolk were sympathetic to his anger at the railroad. But rather than take his chances with a trial, Parker and two other inmates overpowered and disarmed a guard on May 9. And when Assistant District Attorney Erasmus Lee Norris came downstairs to see what all the commotion was, Parker shot him.
Norris, 29, died that night, and whatever sympathy folks may have had for Parker vanished.
Adding insult to injury, Parker made his escape by stealing — apparently by happenstance — Sheriff Ruffner's prized white gelding, Sure Shot.
A posse nabbed him May 23, and before long Parker was on a train back to Prescott, where he was convicted of killing Norris and sentenced to hang.
So many stories have grown up around Parker over the years that it's not easy to separate fact from fiction. True or not, though, some of those stories bear repeating.
One of them has it that on the night before his long-delayed execution, Parker asked a final favor from Ruffner: Would he allow Flossie, a sporting girl well known along Whiskey Row, to comfort Parker before the morrow's final tribulation?
Ruffner, according to the story, dutifully made the arrangements.
Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't.
What's certain is that the next morning, June 3, 1898, Ruffner walked Parker to the gallows on the east side of the courthouse.
Up on the scaffold, Parker shook hands with everyone and asked the jailer to tell the other prisoners that he "died game and like a man."
Per Parker's request, Ruffner himself placed the black hood over his head. The sheriff also drove the hearse that took his old acquaintance to a modest grave in Citizens Cemetery on Sheldon Street. | <urn:uuid:65667c8e-8e0f-4a4d-9c6b-0f09227befbf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.azcentral.com/story/travel/local/history/2014/04/01/arizona-explained-james-parker-outlaw/7057331/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.987556 | 818 | 2.4375 | 2 |

Certification Rates for VSU’s Exercise Physiology Program Greatly Exceed National Stats
|(L-R) Exercise physiology students Kurel Wright, Cameron Freeman, Alanna Lewis, Susan Sprosty, Courtney Martin, Hannah Dickerson, Kyrsten Giebeig, Leah Akins, Austin Stewart, Imani Conner, and India Jackson in VSU’s Human Performance Lab|
VALDOSTA — Students graduating from Valdosta State University’s Exercise Physiology program are standing out from their peers across the country by having significantly higher pass rates for the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certification test.
ACSM certification is “the most recognized, rigorous, and respected certification in the profession,” according to Dr. Mark Kasper, director of VSU’s Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology degree program, and since 2016, VSU students have consistently exceeded national pass rates by large margins.
In the last two years, 93 percent of VSU’s exercise physiology students received ACSM certification on their first attempt — compared to the national pass rates of 71 and 73 percent for the same two years, respectively.
“We strive for this, and we expect it,” said Kasper, who added that VSU’s Exercise Physiology program has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs since 2016. “We demand this level of excellence from ourselves and our students.
“Employers want professionals who can take the science and apply it to exercising adults in a variety of settings. Graduating from VSU and earning the ACSM Certification assures graduates and employers that our students have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to enter the workforce as competent exercise physiologists.”
Kasper attributed the high pass rates to a high-quality program built and sustained by a variety of factors.
“We have passionate professors, outstanding facilities, and small class sizes,” he said. “Students have many opportunities to hone their skills. Our curriculum and courses are dynamic to reflect worksite demands and best practices, and internship sites favor our students because they are prepared like an employee and not an intern.”
VSU offers both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in exercise physiology. The programs prepare students to work in a variety of settings, including cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, corporate fitness/wellness, hospital health promotion, outpatient rehabilitation, human performance laboratories, and private practice. The degrees also allow students to continue their professional studies in areas such as exercise physiology, medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more.
While at VSU, exercise physiology students have numerous opportunities to apply their education in clinical and non-clinical settings within the state-of-the-art Health Sciences and Business Administration Building. They have access to academic labs where they perform cardiac rehab programs for training and research, along with a Human Performance Lab that houses equipment for work related to cardiopulmonary assessment and body fat analysis. Students can also gain extensive hands-on experience by working and learning in VSU’s Center for Exercise Medicine and Rehabilitation.On the Web: | <urn:uuid:334988db-09b0-4076-a06d-c66a57281b9e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.valdosta.edu/about/news/releases/2019/09/certification-rates-for-vsus-exercise-physiology-program-greatly-exceed-national-stats.php | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.943845 | 720 | 1.570313 | 2 |

MARIN COUNTY (KPIX 5) -- A tranquil stretch of open space about six miles northwest from downtown San Rafael will remain a refuge for those seeking peace and quiet in the Bay Area, thanks to a generous donation by Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
The parcel of land not far from Skywalker Ranch has long been the center of discussion and some controversy.
In 2011, Hetfield wanted to develop some of his land along Lucas Valley Road in Marin County into home sites, but the neighbors objected. It led to a prolonged legal battle that the rocker would abandon after a few years.
Hetfield would also abandon Marin County, eventually moving to Colorado. In a radio interview, the longtime Bay Area resident detailed why he left.
"I love the Bay Area. I love what it's got to offer, but there's just an attitude that…it wasn't healthy for me, explained Hetfield in the interview. "Starting to feel like, uh, I was just fighting all the time."
Given that history, local resident might be surprised to hear that the iconic metal singer and his wife Francesca just donated 1,100 of his 1,500 acres to the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, preserving the tract for good.
"It can never be used for homes. It has to stay in agricultural use…forever," said Marin Agricultural Land Trust Executive Director Jamison Watts.
The Land Trust is devoted to preserving farmland. Property under its protection cannot be developed. The owners actually keep the land; they just can never build anything on it without an agricultural purpose. Usually the Trust has to pay for that.
Back in November of last year when the idea of creating the 1,100 land easement was brought to Marin County Board of Supervisors, the Hetfields released a statement that said, "We believe this is a huge community benefit, and one of our goals is to keep agriculture on the ranch for a very long time."
"So for the Hetfields to voluntarily donate their development rights on this piece of property was just mind-blowing," said Watts.
So now, the magnificent views from these hills will be reserved for the cattle that may be grazing on them. Though he has long been known for producing heavy metal at ear-splitting volume that fills stadiums, Hetfield has shown his softer side.
"He just made a comment that, you know, we don't truly own this land; we're temporary stewards of it. We want to do the right thing for us, now, for our family today as well as future generations," said Watts.
And no one Marin County is going to fight Hetfield about that.

Stress levels are running high and many of us are feeling mentally overloaded. To reduce the chance that you’re going to blow up or break down, keep an eye on what you can control vs. what is completely out of your control. Below I’ve listed 4 easy ways for you to improve your mental health. Create a mental cocoon if possible to reduce the pressure on your mind and spirit.
Put the time in on your body every day. Do some wall plank pushups, go for a walk, stretch your back or go for a swim. Think of exercise as a treat, rather than a chore. Allow your body to sink deeply into the mat, or think of each step on your walking path as a grounding.
While exercising, try to keep your mind moving forward. This is particularly important if you’re prone to anxiety. It’s really easy to let that hamster wheel of trouble spin while you’re getting in your walk, which will reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Instead, choose one challenge and create a mental spiderweb of ideas to get past it. Habitual behavior, such as walking, can really free up the creative mind and drastically improve mental health.
Use Focus Tools
If you’re working from home or building a side hustle, use the timer on your phone to help you stay focused. Turn off the notifications and set the timer for an hour so you can dive in and really dig into whatever you’re working on. After an hour, take a break.
Pretty much anything can be a focus tool if you allow it. Timers can be found on the stove, the dryer, and the television. Allow them to determine time and place as well. If you’re cooking and the oven needs to work for an hour, spend that full hour in the kitchen. Organize and clean without worrying about anything else. It may not be fun right now, but it can make tomorrow a lot better. Improving your mental health can be a bit challenging when you’re being constantly bombarded by life’s distractions, so quality focus time is crucial.
Use the tools you prefer for relaxation. If that means tea, coffee, or a caffeinated soda, use them. If you prefer a beer, a glass of wine, or cannabis, use that. Schedule a THC flower delivery and plan to turn your brain off for a set period of time.
Relaxation can happen at any time and it doesn’t have to mean that you get altered. Remember that relaxation isn’t the same as meditation, although meditation can also be useful in improving your mental health. Skip the drive to be constantly productive and just let yourself be for a time.
Arrange your bedroom for good quality sleep. If it’s cold where you live, make sure you have some fleece to snuggle in. If it’s warm, make sure you have cotton bedding to wick away moisture. Get good blinds to fully darken your sleeping area and plug in your phone or tablet somewhere outside your bedroom whenever possible.
Additionally, set a sleeping pattern that helps your body wind down. If you’re really struggling to sleep, a dose of sublingual CBD may help you to shut down your brain. Make sure you consider your body temperature as well as your room temperature. For those who love a hot bath to warm up before bed, try to leave an hour gap between bath and bedtime. Your core temperature needs to drop so your brain can fall into the deepest level of sleep; getting too hot right before bed can actually agitate your mind.
When you work, use a timer and work fully. Focus your whole brain on what needs to happen, then let yourself relax. When you exercise, dig into what you’re doing. When you relax, unplug and disconnect. When you sleep, do whatever it takes to get into the deepest level of sleep quickly. | <urn:uuid:5110494b-0d24-4d72-8b40-12ac0e199ff5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kushca.com/how-to-improve-your-mental-health-4-easy-tricks/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.934729 | 833 | 1.914063 | 2 |

LCCI for taking immediate action to end power outages
LAHORE – The Lahore Chamber of Commerce has expressed deep concern over the rising energy crisis and demanded of the concerned authority to act promptly and control the situation immediately.
“Pledge by the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to put loadshedding to an end soon is good but the immediate measures are direly needed”, LCCI President Mian Nauman Kabir said while talking to a group of businessmen.
The LCCI president said that energy is a key to development and uninterrupted and affordable supply of power is essential for accelerated economic growth. Energy is also an important economic indicator and its availability/shortage encourages or discourages the local and foreign investors.
He said that major reason of gap between demand and supply is dependence on fossil fuel for power generation. He said that energy shortage in Pakistan has underlined the need for diversification from conventional and costly power generation methods to low-cost and multi-purpose methods and technologies for energy efficiency.
Mian Nauman Kabir said that according to a report, Pakistan has a total installed capacity of over 37,000 MW and fossil fuel (oil & gas), hydro and coal are the principal sources. He said that a chunk of electricity is being produced through fossil fuel. Pakistan cannot afford to continue with costly imported oil. He said that promotion of other resources for power generation would drastically reduce the oil import bill and shrink the gap between imports and exports. He also called for a balanced energy consumption mix and exploitation of indigenous resources.
LCCI Senior Vice President Mian Rehman Aziz Chan called for energy efficiency measures saying that it would save huge capital, improve the economy and the environment. He said that the government should launch an awareness campaign for energy conservation and should also promote modern technologies in this regard. He said that energy-intensive industries must adopt energy efficiency measures that would give huge financial benefits. | <urn:uuid:74f728cf-9fe5-42e9-adac-7e872199b2d6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://nation.com.pk/2022/04/29/lcci-for-taking-immediate-action-to-end-power-outages/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.962587 | 395 | 1.679688 | 2 |
Lung Cancer Genes Identified
Smokers are much more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers — that has been a scientific truism for decades. But what about the majority of smokers who don't develop lung cancer? Are they just the lucky ones? What about non-smokers who do develop the disease? New studies suggest that the lung cancer explanation may lie in genes.
On November 2, 2008, an international research team, made by researchers from 18 countries, has reported the identification of three genetic variations that appear to increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer by up to 60 percent. They said their latest finding was relevant for both smokers and non-smokers.
On the Reuters website Michael Kahn has stated that "lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide, according to the American Cancer Society, with about 975,000 men and 376,000 women forecast to die annually".
Smoking is considered a risk factor but increasingly scientists are looking to genetics to help explain why some chain smokers never develop the disease and why some non-smokers do.
In fact, cancer is caused by defects in cell’s genetic material! | <urn:uuid:1483d28a-77a0-4db1-855c-d47c8c891bfc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.smokersassociation.org/stories/lung-cancer-genes-identified | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.961407 | 251 | 3.015625 | 3 |
Mayem is a village in Bicholim taluka of the north-eastern hinterland of Goa. It is most famous for its lake, a popular tourist spot called the Mayem lake, which underwent Rs-160 crore beautification last year. It now has a lake-view resort, a bungee jumping set-up, an amphitheatre, picnic-spots, walking trails and boating facilities. Not-so-famous in the village are two large mines – Vedanta’s Sesa Goa Iron Ore, which is a stone’s throw away from the tourist lake on the north and east side, and Chowgule, on the south and west side.
Sakaram Pednekar, a local farmer and activist, took Mongabay-India near the Chowgule mine and pointed towards a make-shift bamboo grid gate beyond which there was a big crater of water surrounded by red hills. “The water is probably 50-100 metres deep,” said Pednekar, pointing at the crater. There were mounds of loose, red earth making hills as high as the Western Ghats, and a vast pit of water in the centre. Chowgule mine, currently defunct, is one of many iron ore mines in Goa.
Iron ore mining has been one of the main drivers of the Goan economy for the last 50 years until it was stopped in 2012. Solano Da Silva, an academic and faculty member Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani Goa, who has extensively studied land-use in the state, said that approximately 93 sq km of Goa’s land has been diverted for mining activity, adding that illegal mining and dumps may imply additional area. Goa’s total land area is approximately 3,700 sq km, so land diverted for mining takes up about 2.5% of the total area. “And out of the 93 sq km, 65% of land diverted is agricultural land,” he said.
When mining began in 1949, according to Goa Gazette records, 188 tonnes were exported in the first year, 112,000 tonnes in the following year and 400,000 tonnes in 1951. Once mechanised mining took off in the 1970s, Goa’s red earth literally became a playground. As per Goa’s Directorate of Mines and Geology, about 35 million tonne iron ore was exported in 2008-09, going up to 45 million tonnes in 2009-10. The iron ore was mainly exported to China, Japan, Europe and West Asia. Activists note that it was the boom in China (2000-2008) in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics in 2008 that triggered this growth in export.
The open cast technique used in mechanised mining extracts iron/manganese ore by forming benches on a hilltop and the slopes and extending the pit laterally in all directions with increasing depth. The whole exercise transforms the hill into two geomorphological entities – a massive crater-like pit, and hillocks made of dumps. The ore to the ore-burden ratio in Goa is 1:3, which means for every tonne of ore excavated, about three tonnes of overburden material is generated and is treated as “rejects” or “dumps”, forming a huge amount of waste. This means that if the average production of iron ore is 15 million tonnes, the mining process would create about 45 million tonnes of waste.
An enquiry report by a former Supreme Court judge MB Shah revealed that there were mines that were working even after their leases had expired, that they were rejecting all environmental norms, in addition to working inside and very close to protected forest areas.
In October 2012, based on a petition filed by the non-profit Goa Foundation, the Supreme Court ordered a halt to all mining activity in the state and directed the Central Empowered Committee to examine the findings of the Justice Shah Commission report and make appropriate recommendations. Subsequently, the ban was partially lifted in April 2014, and 20 million tonnes per year was allowed to be exported in the interim while the Supreme Court case went on.
In February 2018, the court found all mining leases to be illegal and in contravention of the provisions of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and other rules and guidelines issued on the subject. In its final verdict, it declared all leases illegal and asked the state government to issue fresh leases instead of renewing existing ones.
Currently, there are two review petitions, filed by Vedanta and Goa government at the Supreme Court, seeking a resumption in mining. The Goa government’s review petition hearing is tentatively scheduled for September 30 while there is no date scheduled for the other one. Vedanta has filed a Special Leave Petition as well seeking to extend the mining leases till 2037. The hearing for that petition is currently scheduled for November 2.
Mining impact on agriculture
The rush for mining has had a massive impact on villages surrounded by the mines. For instance, in the village of Mayem, when fields were productive, they grew rice, chilli, kokum, beans, mango, caju (cashew) and coconut trees. Its water bodies used to be alive with gouti fish, crab, shrimp. Khazan lands, which are low-lying wetlands, were rich in nutrients.
Mining and farming have been the major occupations of the village, though locals say that only about 300 people from the village, out of a population of 7,500 (Goa Census 2011) have been dependent on mining, as opposed to at least 1,200 farmers. It was in the 1980s, that they began to notice problems. “Our produce was reducing, our land was getting degraded,” said Pednekar, who has been fighting for fair compensation and restoration of degraded land since 1993. “Siltation was a major problem, the dumps were washed into our fields. Right now our produce has literally come down to half.”
Pednekar and other farmers that Mongabay-India spoke to highlighted that the accumulation of silt in water bodies and fields is the central cause of problems in the agricultural system. Miguel Braganza, an organic agriculture promotor and former agriculture officer of Goa’s Department of Agriculture explained that during the excavation process, two types of materials wash into the fields. “One is the overload, the top soil that is removed when digging for the ore.”
The second type is the rejected material (the overburden) that forms massive hillocks over time and gets washed away into the fields as silt during the monsoon season. “The rejects have a high amount of calcium, which prevents the soil from absorbing iron, and you end up with paddy with yellowing and brownish leaves,” Braganza told Mongabay-India.
Then there is the waste produced by the beneficiation process, which is a process of optimising the ore to make it a higher quality substance. Once the ore is extracted from the mine, trucks carry it to the beneficiation (or screening) plant. The process produces silica and limestone tailings. Silica is like fine dust particles, and fills up all the porous spaces, not allowing water to seep through the soil. It does not allow water to go up the plant via capillary action either, explained Braganza.
Limestone tailings are dry, they cover the soil and prevent absorption of nutrients. In the absence of proper structures that can stem the movement of silt, the harmful waste gets washed by rain into the drainage network, entering the fields and choking them.
In February 2019, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research – Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute in Goa conducted soil testing in Mayem. The results showed the soil to be “strongly acidic”. “They suggested that we use double the amount fertiliser, but no matter how much we use, the output is barely 40%,” Pednekar complained.
“Our fields are completely choked with silt,” he said. “Look at this soil. The paddy-field soil is supposed to be clayey and black. This is red, useless silt from the mines.”
“Our crops are dying because of this,” said the 53-year-old as he showed his fists full of red earth and questioned, “How are we going to grow anything?”.
The monsoon season is the worst for the silted fields. Under normal circumstances, paddy fields are flooded in the early part of the monsoon, which is when the seeds germinate. After some time, the fields are drained by channelling water back into rivers or streams. But here, heavy silting of the river and stream beds reduces their water-holding capacity, causing an overflow. The water in the fields cannot be channelled back into the drainage network, leaving the fields waterlogged for long periods of time. The germinated seeds begin to rot and paddy dies.
A 2014 study by Goa’s former chief town planner ST Puttaraju indicates that between 2001 and 2011, the number of cultivators and agricultural workers in Goa declined from 86,201 in 2001 to 58,114 in 2011.
He says that it is because of the diversion of agricultural land for mining, and siltation, which renders the fields useless. Out of the 151 farmers interviewed in the study, spanning across Goa, 71% complained of a reduction in paddy yields, attributing it to siltation and inadequate irrigation.
“The worst part is, it is the duty of the mining companies and government to provide us with compensation for this loss and restore the land,” said Rohidas Maenkar, a farmer and fisherman based in Mayem. “But they are not doing anything for us.”
No compensation in sight
“We have not received any compensation for our damaged fields since 2012,” said Pednekar. Despite two orders being passed by the local court (court of the mamlatdar of Bicholim Taluka) in 2013 and 2015, locals said that they have not received any compensation for the damaged fields. “The order requires us to be compensated until the land is fully restored to its original state.” Pednekar informed.
“The mining companies seem to have washed their hands of the matter,” said Maenkar. “They say that since they do not have lease rights, they cannot provide us with compensation. It then becomes the job of the government, what is it doing? Why is it not helping us?”
“For over 40 years, these mining companies have been excavating and degrading the land, without any checks and balances, no bandhs, no structures, not covering the dumps,” said Braganza.
The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015 called for the setting up of a District Mineral Foundation in every mining state. The non-profit body would be required to work for the interest and benefit of mining-affected persons and areas. Funds are required to be utilised for providing drinking water supply, restoring the ecology damaged by mining or other activity, providing health facilities, education, social welfare, building road/bridge network, desilting of water bodies including dams, rivers etc, installation of pollution control devices, sewage treatment plants, afforestation, any other measures for enhancing environmental quality in the mining district.
In Goa, the District Mineral Foundation was notified in May 2016, with a fund of approximately Rs 180 crore (Rs. 1.8 billion). The utilisation of this fund, however, has been questioned on several occasions.
“The District Mineral Foundation funds are available for a specific purpose of providing welfare to the people in mining-affected areas,” said Claude Alvares of Goa Foundation. “We are dumbfounded at the situation. There is money, there are resources, we have even given them a whole list of suggestions for rehabilitation and restoration. But for some reason, the government is just not interested. ”
What next for mining and farmers?
In December 2019, the farmers of Sirigao, a village neighbouring Mayem won a 12-year-old case at the Bombay High Court, which directed the District Mineral Foundation and three mining companies – Timblo, Chowgule and Vedanta to pay a total of Rs 4 crore towards restoring their degraded paddy fields. Infrastructure and machinery were set up to desilt the drainage network, bulldozing the field to remove all dumps and rejects, and ploughing it afresh. This monsoon, the fields were rich with paddy.
“You are excavating our land and not cleaning up the mess you have left behind,” Pednekar said. “You have destroyed our fields, our lakes, our streams, everything that makes our village thrive. You are forcing us to run pillar-to-post for our basic needs. Our friends in Sirigao have managed to win this battle after 12 years of fight. That gives us hope. But how is this fair? Why should we be driven to a point of desperation?”
On May 27, Pednekar, along with members of various farm tenant associations of the village, and several individuals and associations from the neighbouring villages of the north-eastern mining belt – Pissurlem, Lamgao, Advalpal, Assonora – filed a public interest litigation petition at the Bombay High Court, against the state of Goa, the directorate of mines and geology, the district collector of North Goa, the director of transport of Goa, the superintendent police of north Goa, and several mining companies for conducting “illegal and fresh extraction of ore”.
The PIL holds them responsible for failure to take action to safeguard people and property from siltation and flooding due to unprotected stacks of ore, for excavations and dumps in the impending monsoons, failure to restore agricultural lands, paddy fields, nallahs and water resources of petitioners of other villages, and unregulated transportation of mined ore. A date for the hearing is yet to be finalised even as farmers continue to wait for justice.

Departure & Return
What To Expect
Malta’s part in the war began in 1940 when Italy's leader, Mussolini, declared war on the island and it became a stepping stone for Hitler and the Axis forces to gain control of North Africa. From then on, Valletta endured sustained bombardment as the Axis powers aimed to bomb or starve the population into submission.
Over more than two years, the island became one of the most intensively bombed areas in the war, and her survival against the odds was an inspiration.
Learn about the Siege of Malta between 1940 and 1942, and see sites associated with Malta’s bravery in the face of destruction. View the imposing Siege Bell Memorial overlooking the Grand Harbour, and hear about the tunnels built under Valletta to shelter residents. Learn, too, about the ‘Victory Kitchens’ set up to feed people, and how locals tried to maintain their daily lives throughout the bombardments.
See the gutted shell of the Royal Opera House, destroyed in a 1942 German bombing raid, and pay your respects at various commemorative statues and memorials.
As you walk, hear details of key events, including the Battle of Grand Harbour and Illustrious Blitz, when the Axis powers repeatedly bombed the HMS Illustrious aircraft carrier in Valletta in 1941.
Along the way, enjoy a guided visit to the National War Museum (own expense) at Upper Fort St. Elmo. View the exhibits and audio-visuals illustrating Malta’s ordeal during WWII, including the struggle to get supplies to the island, and see the 1942 George Cross medal awarded to the population for their courage.

Coronavirus is likely to keep spreading for at least another 18 months to two years - until 60 percent to 70 percent of the population worldwide has been infected, a team of longstanding pandemic experts predicted Thursday in a new report.
They recommended that the United States prepare for a worst-case scenario that includes a second big wave of coronavirus infections in the fall and winter. Even in a best-case scenario, people will continue to die from the virus, they predicted.
“This thing’s not going to stop until it infects 60 to 70 percent of people,” Michael Osterholm, who directs the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told CNN. “The idea that this is going to be done soon defies microbiology.”
Osterholm has been writing about the risk of pandemics for 20 years and has advised several presidents.
Because Covid-19 is new, no one has any immunity, the report said. “The length of the pandemic will likely be 18 to 24 months, as herd immunity gradually develops in the human population.” | <urn:uuid:143802bd-be64-4f6c-98c4-3fe49af12dcd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://hr.n1info.com/english/news/a505307-health-report-predicts-up-to-2-more-years-of-pandemic-misery/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.940756 | 237 | 3.046875 | 3 |
Feeding Your Cat
Feeding your cat is definitely a controversial topic!
Every day, we have food companies flooding us with Advertisements.
We have dry food bags with photos of Bengals on them, reassuring Bengal cat owners that the manufacturer offers the only species-appropriate diet for Bengals.
We have friends who tell us “this is the only thing you should feed your cat.”
We have sick cats who are dying from lymphoma, cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, and other terrible diseases. Our Veterinarians are overwhelmed. We too, are overwhelmed by all the “information” that sends us scrambling in hundreds of directions. It is confusing, expensive, and frustrating.
Because of our experience training and research, we are firm advocates of raw food diets. We always advise our clients “No Dry Food” -ever. For recipes and feeding guidelines, join and follow the Facebook group Completely Raw and Proud.
For more information about why we are not proponents of commercial foods, please read this article Carrageenan Can Be Dangerous to Your Pet.

It is not difficult to transition a cat from commercial food to Raw food. If you would like to learn more, please read this article How to Transition to a Raw Cat Food Diet.
Raw Food Recommendations
Darwin’s Frozen Raw
One of the easiest (and least expensive) ways to feed your cat raw food, is to subscribe to a raw food delivery service. We like Darwin’s as it is easy, convenient, and contains all of the vitamins and minerals, in each pouch (no messy mixing required.
A typical 10-pound cat would cost approximately $1.70 a day. That is less expensive than all premium wet foods, and it is so much healthier.
Darwin’s has a great new program that offers new Bengal adopters a nice discount on your first order. Click the image to be redirected to Darwin’s website.
Vital Cat Essentials Frozen Raw
We also love Vital Cat Essentials – specifically the Rabbit formula. Cats in the wild get their protein from a variety of species – so it’s good to replicate that with their diet.
Frozen Raw food (thawed) is the purest food you can choose. It is not heat-fired like Freeze-Dried foods, so it does retain more of the vitamins and minerals that our cats need. You can click on the link to order it for delivery, or it can be found at specialty pet food stores. Most stores will carry a broad range of dog food but not the cat food – they usually have to order the cat version specifically for you.
Vital Cat Essentials Freeze-Dried Raw
If you can’t do Frozen, Vital Cat Freeze-Dried Raw patties are a nice option. is only available at specialty food retailers. Call your local boutique and see if they would be willing to order it for you.
Make it At Home
If you want to make raw food at home, you’ll need a good recipe and an industrial grinder. You will also need to purchase all of the various supplements that you will need to include and portion out in each batch.
You can purchase raw Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast, run it through a grinder, and simply mix in the supplements according to the label of My Natural Cat plus Chicken Liver Powder. It’s a nice short cut.
Or if you prefer to look into other recipes, the gold standard is Dr. Lisa Pierson’s Recipe Making Raw Cat Food. You can also visit the Facebook group Completely Raw and Proud where you will find a variety of recipes.
If you choose to go the “make it at home” route – we highly recommend this Grinder.
You can get the STX Turboforce II”Platinum” w/Foot Pedal Heavy Duty Electric Meat Grinder & Sausage Stuffer for $199 on Amazon. Click the image to learn more about this workhorse.
Please read the following article from Dr. Pierson DVM. Dr. Pierson is one of the most highly cited and respected Nutritional Veterinarians in America. She created this briefing so that people like us, can contemplate the best diets possible for our obligate carnivores – our cats.
If you must feed Wet Food, here is a great brand that has a great Variety Pack, so that you can learn what food your Bengal likes best. We love Weruva, Tiki Cat and others.
Read the label! You want a Wet food that does not contain Chicken by-products or carrageenan.
Vital Cat Essentials makes great natural treats for cats. Their Chicken version is the most popular.
We also recommend Whole Life pet treats.
Veganism in Cats
One of the saddest “developments” we have seen lately, is Vegan Humans putting their Obligate Carnivore (Cat) on a Vegan Diet! You would not believe the horror stories that we have witnessed, when a cat is deprived of protein / fat / moisture. We have seen cats go into Renal Failure, Kidney Failure and worse (young cats!).
But don’t take our word for it. Read this article that was published in 2013 Kitten Nearly Dies from Vegan Diet.
If you are even slightly tempted to make your cat go Vegan, please read this article There’s No Such Thing as a Vegan Cat
Say No To Dry Food!
In case you missed it, earlier in this article, we are staunchly against feeding ANY brand of dry food to cats. Please read Dr. Pierson’s article below for the complete explanation of why we do not support Dry Feeding.
Feeding Your Cat: Know the Basics of Feline Nutrition
Feeding Your Cat: Know the Basics of Feline Nutrition
Dr. Lisa A Pierson, DVM
Diet is the brick and mortar of health. This paper lays out some often-ignored principles of feline nutrition and explains why cats have a much better chance at optimal health if they are fed a canned food diet instead of dry kibble. Putting a little thought into what you feed your cat(s) can pay big dividends over their lifetime and very possibly help them avoid serious, painful, life-threatening, and costly illnesses.
An increasing number of nutrition-savvy veterinarians are now strongly recommending the feeding of canned food instead of dry kibble. However, many veterinarians are still recommending/condoning the feeding of dry food to cats. Sadly, this species-inappropriate source of food only serves to promote disease in our cats as discussed below.
If your cat is a dry food addict, please see Tips for Transitioning Dry Food Addicts to Canned Food in the sidebar at catinfo.org. All cats can be switched to a water-rich, low-carb diet if their caregivers are very patient and try enough tricks. Again, patience….patience….patience….and do not give up!
Whatʼs wrong with dry kibble – including any ʻprescriptionʼ dry food?
The three key negative issues associated with dry food are:
1) Water content is too low – predisposing your cat to serious and often life-threatening urinary tract diseases including excruciatingly painful, costly, and potentially fatal urethral obstructions
2) Carbohydrate load is too high – predisposing your cat to diabetes, obesity, and possibly intestinal disease
3) Type of protein – too high in plant-based versus animal-based proteins – cats are obligate carnivores and are designed to eat meat, not grains/plants – grains only serve to enhance the profit margin of the pet food company and do not promote the health of your cat.
Other negative issues include:
- bacterial contamination (can lead to vomiting and diarrhea),
- fungal mycotoxins (contained in grains and are extremely toxic),
- insects and their feces (can cause respiratory problems),
- ingredients that often cause allergic reactions, and all dry food is harshly cooked which destroys/alters vital nutrients.
My Cat is Doing Just “Fine” on Dry Food!
I often hear people make the above statement. However consider the following:
- Every living creature is “fine” until outward signs of a disease process are exhibited. That may sound like a very obvious and basic statement but if you think about it……
- Every cat on the Feline Diabetes Message Board was “fine” until their owners started to recognize the signs of diabetes.
- Every cat with a blocked urinary tract was “fine” until they started to strain to urinate and either died from a ruptured bladder or had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency catheterization.
- Every cat with an inflamed bladder (cystitis) was “fine” until they ended up in pain, passing blood in their urine, and missing their litter box – soiling the home through no fault of their own.
- Every cat was ʻfineʼ until the feeding of species-inappropriate, hyperallergenic ingredients caught up with him and he started to show signs of food intolerance/IBD (inflammatory bowel disease).
- Every cat was “fine” until that kidney or bladder stone got big enough to cause clinical signs.
- Every cancer patient was “fine” until their tumor grew large enough or spread far enough so that clinical signs were observed by the patient.
The point is that diseases ‘brew’ long before being noticed by the living being.
This is why the statement “but my cat is healthy/fine on dry food” means very little to me because I believe in preventative nutrition. I donʼt want to end up saying “oops……I guess he is not so fine now!!” when a patient presents to me with a medical problem that could have been avoided if a species-appropriate diet (low-carb canned or balanced homemade food – not dry food) would have been fed to begin with.
Of course, in order to be on board with the ‘preventative nutrition’ argument, a person has to understand the following facts:
- All urinary tract systems are much healthier with an appropriate amount of water flowing through them. Painful, life-threatening, and very expensive-to-treat urinary tract obstructions commonly occur when cats (especially males) are fed dry food. See Opieʼs pictures at catinfo.org (Urinary Tract Diseases) for a good look at the suffering caused by feeding cats water-depleted diets. These obstructions are serious medical emergencies but are extremely uncommon among cats fed canned food – especially if extra water is added to the canned food. Also, cats (males and females) that are fed a water-rich diet of canned food are much less likely to end up with painful cystitis.
- Cats inherently have a low thirst drive and need to consume water *with* their food. A cat’s normal prey is ~70 – 75% water; dry food is only 5-10% water. Contrary to the wishful thinking of cat owners, cats do not make up this deficit at the water bowl. Several studies have shown that cats on canned food consume double the amount of water when compared to cats on dry food when all sources (food and water bowl) are considered.
- Carbohydrates wreak havoc on cats’ blood sugar/insulin balance predisposing them to diabetes and obesity. (See Diabetes and Obesity at catinfo.org.) Dry foods, as well as some canned foods, are high in carbohydrates with some much worse than others. Note that “grain-free” does not mean “low- carb” since potatoes and peas are often used. (See the Protein/Fat/Carb Chart linked in the sidebar at catinfo.org.)
- Cats are strict carnivores which means they are designed to get their protein from meat – not from the high level of grains found in dry food.
- Contrary to a popular myth, dry food exerts no beneficial effect on dental health and has no scientific support for its use in preventing dental disease. Unfortunately, this myth is often perpetuated by veterinarians who have failed to apply critical thought to this issue.
Feeding cats correctly is definitely a ʻpay me now or pay me laterʼ issue. Cat caregivers often state that canned food is too expensive. However, considering the cost to treat the illnesses that arise from feeding dry food, most people re-think this issue after they receive their vet bill.
Consider practicing preventative nutrition before your furry buddy ends up in a diseased state that could have been prevented with proper nutrition.

We present that humpback-whale vocalization behavior is definitely synchronous with peak annual Atlantic herring spawning processes in the Gulf of Maine. Before and during OAWRS survey transmissions: (a) no vocalizing whales were found at Stellwagen Standard bank, which experienced negligible herring populations, and (b) a constant humpback-whale music occurrence rate shows the transmissions experienced no effect on humpback music. These measurements contradict the conclusions of Risch et al. Our analysis shows that (a) the music occurrence variance reported in Risch et al. is definitely consistent with organic causes other than sonar, (b) the reducing change in music reported in Risch et al. Rabbit Polyclonal to Cytochrome P450 19A1 occurred days before the sonar survey began, and (c) the Risch et al. method lacks the statistical significance to draw the conclusions of Risch et al. because it has a 98C100% false-positive rate and lacks any true-positive confirmation. Intro Passive acoustic survey methods utilizing hydrophones at fixed locations C or mobile platforms , have been widely used to detect, localize, track and study the behavior C, C and abundance , C of whales. With our array situated within the northern flank of Georges Standard bank from September 19 to October 6, 2006 , , we could detect and localize vocalizing whales over most of the Gulf of Maine, a 400-km diameter area roughly, including PHA-767491 Georges and Stellwagen Banking institutions, therefore monitor vocalization behavior over an ecosystem range. This was feasible because we utilized a large-aperture, densely-sampled, coherent hydrophone array with purchases of magnitude higher array gain C than previously obtainable in acoustic whale sensing. We discovered approximately 2000 humpback whale vocalizations each day and utilized these to look for the matching whale locations as time passes by presenting a artificial aperture monitoring technique C as well as the array invariant technique towards the whale sensing issue. We find which the distribution of almost all vocalizing humpback whales coincided with the principal time and area of Atlantic herring throughout their top annual spawning period. During hours of sunlight, herring were discovered to become dispersed over the seafloor in much deeper waters over wide regions of Georges Bank’s northern flank . At sunset, they would then rise and converge to form dense and massive night shoals, which migrated to the shallow waters of Georges Standard bank for spawning, following a regular diurnal pattern . We find the humpback whale vocalization behavior adopted a similarly strong diurnal pattern, temporally PHA-767491 and spatially synchronous with the herring shoal formation process, with vocalization rates roughly ten instances higher at night than during daylight hours. At night, most humpback whale vocalizations originated from concentrated regions with dense night herring shoals, while during daytime, their origins were more widely distributed over areas with significant but diffuse pre-shoal herring populations. These vocalizations are comprised PHA-767491 of: (i) non-song calls, dominated by repeated downsweep meows (approximately 1.44 second duration, 452 Hz center frequency, 170 Hz bandwidth, and 31 second repetition rate) which apparently have not been previously observed; and (ii) tunes . The repeated non-song phone calls were highly diurnal and synchronous with the herring shoal formation process, consistent with hunting and feeding behavior. In contrast, songs occurred at a constant rate with no diurnal variation, and are apparently unrelated to feeding and the highly diurnal herring spawning activities. PHA-767491 Before and during Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS) survey transmissions , , we measured constant humpback whale music occurrence, indicating these transmissions experienced no effect on humpback whale music. In addition, our data shows no humpback whale vocal activity originating PHA-767491 from Stellwagen Standard bank, which experienced negligible herring populations , , but vocalizing humpbacks located near Georges Standard bank, which experienced dense and decadally high herring populations , could be heard at Stellwagen Standard bank. These results are consistent with earlier observations of humpback whale feeding activity in the Gulf of Maine and Stellwagen Standard bank which display humpback whales leave Stellwagen Standard bank for other areas plentiful in herring for feeding during the herring spawning time of year . These results, however, contradict the conclusions of Risch et al. . To research this contradiction, the Risch et al. statistical check is put on the annual humpback whale melody. | <urn:uuid:8171340f-8780-4311-8ccf-e1708dc4661d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://tak-632.net/we-present-that-humpback-whale-vocalization-behavior-is-definitely-synchronous-with-peak/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.930059 | 1,012 | 2.421875 | 2 |
Five College Majors That Lead to In-Demand CareersBy Huntington Learning Center
College is an investment in your student’s future, and you want to encourage them to make the very most of it. Some students head off to college with a specific major in mind, while others are uncertain. It can be helpful to know what majors are out there that can lead to a good job after graduation.
Here are a few of the most in-demand majors right now that your teen might want to explore:
- Nursing – For years, there has been talk of an impending shortage of nurses in the United States (due to the aging population and retirement of many nurses). With the push for existing and new nurses to obtain bachelor’s degrees in nursing (not associate’s degrees), there is plenty of room for today’s generation of students in this highly stable career. Long-term, your student could become a Nurse Practitioner (which requires a master’s degree), which is reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to have a projected growth rate from 2019 to 2029 of 45% – significantly higher than the average growth rate of all occupations (4%).
- Information security – The world operates online these days, which means an increase in the number of security threats that can take down businesses, schools, and other organizations. Students interested in the field of cybersecurity or information security can major in a computer-related field (or cybersecurity) and enter the workforce immediately or go on to pursue a master’s degree for further advancement opportunities. This is another high-growth career path: BLS reports projected growth of 31% between 2019 and 2029.
- Actuarial science – Math lovers should look into actuarial science as a major, which will lead them to a career in risk analysis for organizations like insurance and financial companies. Actuaries measure and study risk and uncertainty. This field is expected to grow 18% between 2019 and 2029.
- Social work/counseling – The demand for trained mental health counselors is high right now, especially in the wake of the pandemic. Students who like helping people and are interested in the field of health care should think about earning a bachelor’s degree in social work, psychology, or a related area. BLS reports substance abuse, behavioral, and mental health counselor jobs to grow 25% between 2019 and 2029.
- Computer science – Computer science continues to be an in-demand major, and there are many different jobs a college graduate with such a degree could obtain. From software application developer to cloud engineer to database administrator, the job prospects are many. Students who enjoy technology and solving problems should check out the possibilities.
Encourage your student to do their research about college majors to find a path that plays to their strengths and interests. While it isn’t critical that your student know exactly what they want to do for the rest of their life on day one of college, they should approach the process of choosing a major thoughtfully, and the ability to obtain employment after they graduate is an important consideration.
Getting into your student’s college of choice requires strong grades and SAT/ACT scores. If your student is preparing to apply to colleges now and wants to give themselves the best chance of acceptance, call Huntington. We’ll work with your student to ensure they are prepared to earn the best SAT/ACT scores and GPA possible to strengthen their college application.

From alpha to omega and back
Keywords:psychological tests, reliability, homogenity, validity, factor analysis
AbstractCoefficient α, also known as the coefficient of internal consistency, is one of the most used and at the same time the most misused reliability assessment method of the composite psychological instruments or tests. For the interpretation of results generated through the application of psychological tests, the most important misuse of the coefficient α is the wrong conclusion about homogenity or unidimensionality. One source of this kind of misuse has originated from the very definition of the coefficient α. The other source is insufficient differentiation of the definitions of reliability, homogenity and validity between classical measurement model, also known as theory of the true and error score, and its developed version, the factor-analytic model of measurement. Because of that, there has been for some time an alternative index for the assessment of reliability, homogenity and validity under the socalled spearmanian confirmatory one-factor model, which is known as coefficient ω. Using the data generated with the one scale resembling standard composite psychological test, the usefulness and limitations of the coefficients α and ω are described through the simple algebra. Based on these results and in conjuction with previous analyses, it is showed that the acceptable assessment of the coefficient α is neccesary but not sufficient reason for the conclusion about the reliability and homogenity of the test. For the reasonable and sound conclusion of this kind it is necessary to use other assessments such as coefficient ω, together with the indices of factor validity and goodness of fit under the hypothesis of spearmanian one-factor model.

Ambassador Morten Jespersen: Looking at aid funding, the private sector and country visions – Where are LDCS now?
IF’s Steering Committee Chair talks donor priorities, laying the groundwork for investment in LDCs and more
How can donor countries like Denmark best support least developed countries (LDCs) in these uncertain economic times?
LDCs account for only 1% or less of world exports. Global value chains are being disrupted to some extent, and there is a trend now toward more regional value chains. And there is a tendency toward slowing growth. As donors, we believe we should focus more on sectors in LDCs where there is real potential for export, so I mean be selective in the sectors in which we work.
That is also why we believe the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) diagnostic work in trade is important with regards to that. We believe EIF is unique in the sense that there is no other international actor that has an exclusive focus on LDCs and trade. That is important for us, and on top of that the trade policy integration in government policies, the capacity building, the projects that work with productive sectors.
What are Denmark’s priorities in supporting LDCs?
For us, it’s important that we target the LDCs. It’s important that we support projects and activities where it’s not only about production, it’s also to have the development angle. That is very important to have sustainability. It’s all about creating sustainability and creating growth – and creating decent jobs is an important component.
The way we handle aid for trade in our assistance is as an integral part of private sector development. Some donors have specific aid for trade departments and policies but we have it integrated in our private sector development. Our bilateral programs almost all have value chain components, and some also focus on exports and trade. Others support value chains in countries. But we don’t really distinguish that much between private sector development and aid for trade. | <urn:uuid:da541d6f-654e-4a3f-97e5-1454ed20f404> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://etradeforall.org/news/eif-ambassador-morten-jespersen-looking-at-aid-funding-the-private-sector-and-country-visions-where-are-ldcs-now/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.9458 | 419 | 1.929688 | 2 |
The global and Chinese economies were hit hard in 2020, and the global GDP grew by 5.9% in 2021. Although the global growth prospects improved and there was a V-shaped rebound, this does not mean that the economy has really recovered to the level before the epidemic. The vast majority of countries are still in the stage of recovery after heavy damage and are far from achieving real recovery.
2022 is a year of continuous recovery. Global supply chain disturbance, geopolitical tension, energy price fluctuation, local labor shortage and rising raw material prices will affect the resilience of economic recovery. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the world economy will grow by 4.4% in 2022, of which the U.S. economy will grow by about 4%. Driven by China and India, Asia is expected to become the fastest growing region in the world in 2022. However, China's economic growth has slowed down. The 2022 government work report shows that the expected target of economic growth is set at about 5.5%.
According to research, China has set a growth rate of about 5.5%, which not only focuses on the speed of economic growth, but also anchors the quality of economic development. Scientific and technological innovation, economic and social digitization and green development will be the long-term goals of China's economic development. It is expected that in 2022, major economies such as the United States, Europe and China will introduce more favorable policies to drive the development of switching power supply industry.

Effect of Prometheus liver assist system on systemic hemodynamics in patients with cirrhosis: a randomized controlled study.
World J Gastroenterol. 2008 Apr 7;14(13):2065-71
Authors: Dethloff T, Tofteng F, Frederiksen HJ, Hojskov M, Hansen BA, Larsen FS
AIM: To evaluate treatment safety and hemodynamic changes during a single 6-h treatment with the Prometheus liver assist system in a randomized, controlled study. METHODS: Twenty-four patients were randomized to either the study group or to one of two control groups: Fractionated Plasma Separation Adsorption and Dialysis, Prometheus system (Study group; n = 8); Molecular Adsorbent Recirculation System (MARS) (Control group 1, n = 8); or hemodialysis (Control group 2; n = 8). All patients included in the study had decompensated cirrhosis at the time of the inclusion into the study. Circulatory changes were monitored with a Swan-Ganz catheter and bilirubin and creatinine were monitored as measures of protein-bound and water-soluble toxins. RESULTS: Systemic hemodynamics did not differ between treatment and control groups apart from an increase in arterial pressure in the MARS group (P = 0.008). No adverse effects were observed in any of the groups. Creatinine levels significantly decreased in the MARS group (P = 0.03) and hemodialysis group (P = 0.04). Platelet count deceased in the Prometheus group (P = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Extra-corporal liver support with Prometheus is proven to be safe in patients with endstage liver disease but does not exert the beneficial effects on arterial pressure as seen in the MARS group.

The easiest way to get success in competitive examinations is to solve the problems of past year papers. If you do not solve the problems of last year's question papers, it means that you do not have to prepare for competitive examinations. Almost all the tops show that they had solved the past few years of paperwork. Examination patterns and questions can easily be judged with the question papers of the past few years. Apart from this, there are many questions which are also done in the repeat.
2. Too many studying:
You will find many such Candidates who will say that we had studied so much but still our selection was not done. But let us know that to achieve success in these examinations you need to prepare balance. Indeed, many times the candidates come to the pressure and they read everything, the result is that many times they are preparing outside the syllabus. It is not only a waste of time but also because of the high level of studies done without any syllabus; we cannot read what we should read according to a syllabus. So do not read too much, just read as much in Syllabus.
3. More books as much as Confusion:
Many people read many books to prepare for competitive examinations, which results in the fact that these people are badly confused. To prepare properly, you should study books recommended by toppers. In fact, the more books are as confusing as it is; now it is not necessary that the information given in each book is correct. If you are also reading many books for the preparation of a single subject, then once definitely think that these books are confusing to you. If you really want to succeed in any competitive exam, then just read some selected and good publications books.
4. Preparation of multiple competitive examinations together:
Most people prepare for more than one competitive exam at one time, they think that if there is no success in any one competitive exam, and then they will be found in any other. Although they are quite right to think of this, every exam has its own pattern and syllabus, therefore, preparing them together becomes confusing. If you are preparing for multiple exams together then it will be better than you focus on one of the exams. Apart from this, there is no harm in keeping the exams in the rest.
5. No time management:
Time Management has an important role to play in successful competitive exams. You should make time strategy something like this so that after preparation there is enough time for the revision. Most people do not make a timetable, due to which they do not get enough time for the period. Therefore, never forget time management to succeed in competitive exams. If you also want to get success in competitive examinations, then you should refrain from making these 5 mistakes.

Rising property prices have resulted in the highest proportion of homeowners in Korea on record.
According to a survey out on Monday by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, 61.2 percent of Korean households owned a home last year, up from 61.1 percent in 2018. The ratio of homeowners to total households has increased for the fourth year running.
Koreans appear to have purchased homes for fear that prices will escalate even further. The self-occupancy rate rose from 57.7 percent in 2018 to 58 percent last year, which is also the highest level seen since 2006.
The survey was conducted on 60,735 households from June 2019 to February 2020. The increase in self-occupancy show that more people purchased homes to live in rather than to make money from rent.
It now takes 6.9 years for a Korean to purchase his or her own home, down from 7.1 years in 2018.

This article originally appeared in the September 2015 issue of Triathlete.
Many athletes choose to live and train at high altitude with the particular goal of increasing endurance performance. While the merits of altitude training and the best methods and timing of implementation can be debated, let’s focus on changes in nutritional demands at higher elevations.
It is clear that any competition at altitude will benefit from acclimatization, or adaption to changes in physiological and metabolic demands. Systems that react to altitude and changes in oxygen pressure include cardiovascular, pulmonary and endocrine and the central nervous system, meaning changes in resting and maximal heart rate, rates of ventilation, blood pressure, VO2 max and oxygen transport. Nutritional support of these adaptations and systems during altitude acclimatization is crucial.
As with any environmental condition, there is a range of nutritional demands. A mildly warm day will require different nutritional strategies as compared with one of searing heat and humidity; similarly, with rising altitude there will be greater effects. For the most part, when endurance athletes talk of moderate altitude, they are talking somewhere in the range of 5,000 to 8,000 feet (1,500-2,500 meters).
Here are some nutritional challenges athletes might face at moderate altitude.
Extra fluid intake is vital. Rising altitude means that breathing is shallower and more frequent; this increased ventilation along with dry air leads to greater fluid losses through the respiratory system. Additionally, sweat evaporates quickly, which can lead you to believe you are not losing much fluid and are less inclined to drink. When training or competing at altitude, carry more fluid than you would regularly and keep drinking to avoid dehydration. Even on shorter runs that you would complete at sea level without water, it is a good idea to use something such as a hydration belt or a handheld quick draw when training at altitude; you are more likely to drink often when fluid is readily available.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) increases at altitude, especially in the first couple of days. Appetite is also suppressed by hypoxia, so to minimize reduction in body mass and loss of muscle, take care to match your caloric needs. With time to acclimatize, BMR drops again, but not quite to base level (sea level rate). There also seems to be a shift in fuel utilization toward a greater reliance on carbohydrate as opposed to fat stores. If flying in for a race, you might consider frequent small meals that are carbohydrate-rich to maintain energy levels. Carbohydrate-rich sports drinks would also be beneficial in meeting both increased fluid and carbohydrate needs.
As the body tries to adapt to a lower oxygen concentration in the air, greater numbers of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to working muscles, are produced by the bone marrow. In fact, this is the primary reason why endurance athletes train at altitude; to achieve the increase in oxygen-carrying capacity and the associated improvements in endurance capacity. However, iron is required to manufacture hemoglobin (the oxygen-binding portion of red blood cells) and consequently, any iron deficiency can reduce the benefits of altitude training. Before you go to altitude, consider having a blood test to ensure your iron stores are adequate. Talk to your doctor about your plans to train or race at altitude and if you should consider taking iron supplements. Otherwise, include iron-rich foods in your diet (animal sources such as lean red meats are best absorbed).
Altitude places stress on the body, which might affect your immune system when combined with hard training. A diet rich in natural antioxidants is perhaps even more important to help the body cope, adapt and stay healthy. Along with a healthy diet, good hygiene habits and plenty of recovery will also help.
Often altitude goes hand in hand with either hot, dry climates or cold conditions. Keep this in mind when it comes to changing nutritional needs.
Remember, too, that individuals adapt to altitude differently. Take your time, listen to your body and don’t expect to feel great in the first few days or even up to two weeks.

Have you been thinking about getting mental health support, but always postponing? According to theSubstance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, nearly 60% of American adults were doing so in the previous year.
Most common reasons are stigma, cost or accessibility. Online therapy can be a solution. Multiple studies found out that online therapy can be equivalent to face-to-face mental care.
Psychologists call remote mental health services “telepsychology”, be it by phone, webcam, e-mail or text messaging. These types of services are in use for more than 20 years. They were used mostly by military members but the booming smartphone usage has made it more accessible and affordable for everyone.Of course, online mental health services might not be suitable for every patient or practitioner. But today’s problems are usually solvable through telepsychology and 11Sight is a good solution for those practitioners who want to be reachable online with only 1-click.
In a research made by University of Zurich, it’s been found out that online clients and therapists considered the impact of their online sessions as strong as or stronger than their previous in-person sessions.
“Some of our clients anonymously stated that they were able to tolerate online therapy better than face-to-face therapy consistent with the interpretation that clients' experience a calming influence of the online environment.”*
Going to a therapist can be a stigma for some people. But there’s nothing to be ashamed of. When we eat, we feed our bodies; when we talk to a professional, we feed our souls. And these two can’t go without each other. Still, it’s hard to change the bias. Online mental services are the cure for this; because when the interview is online, it might feel like talking to a friend rather than a therapist. What’s more, nobody has to know who the person is talking to.
Some people may have some responsibilities or difficulties that prevent them from going to a therapist. These might be physical limitations or a baby to be looked after. Whatever the condition is, a more “accessible” psychologist would be more convenient. 11Sight comes at this point by being available on every platform with only 1-click.
Cost and Convenience
Online mental service is a cheaper solution. Both from the monetary perspective, and the time perspective. The practitioners don’t have to think about office expenses and can spare more time for themselves since they will save time from transportation. Same is valid on the patients’ side. Since the patients will be attending the therapy sessions in the comfort of their own homes, they will be able to schedule sessions more conveniently and also be more open to discuss sensitive issues.
Confidentiality and Privacy
Online therapy can be helpful in many cases but for people in certain situations, there might be some risks. Some patients require close interaction rather than joining the session from home.
Psychotherapists know the deepest emotions and secrets of their patients and they must be reliable. Information privacy is the major concern of the patients and the psychologists. Since the information is being transmitted online, patients may think twice about talking about their sensitive issues online. 11Sight comes with the solution; an advanced end-to-end data encryption. Information shared on 11Sight can never go to third parties.

The largest part of the House of the Miller of Millbach is thought to have been constructed in 1752. Now, 265 years later, a new chapter begins. I thought it was time to move on, explained owner Earle Chip Henderson. I am now 80, and not in good health, and have opted to put things back into circulation. On Oct. 28, John Hess of the John Hess Auction Group sold the Millbach property, along with a 95-lot catalog auction.
John Hess Sells Millbach
National Registry Property Brings $215,000
Situated in Millcreek Township, Lebanon County, Pa., near Schaefferstown, the postal address for Millbach is Newmanstown. In the mid-18th century, it was Heidelberg Township, Lancaster County. The property is of limestone and sandstone construction, likely done in four phases. The grist mills three-story structure was built into the bank for utilization to process and offload. Two surviving date stones bear the dates 1752 for the house and 1784 for the mill.
Originally owned by German immigrants George (1706-91) and Maria Catarina Miller (1711-87), it was only in 1753 that the property and land (144 acres) were transferred from George to the couples son, Michael. According to family lore and backed up by estate records and deeds, George left Maria Catarina for a servant girl and moved to Rowan County, N.C. Michael was 21. He would expand the property, construct a new grist mill, add a sawmill in 1777, and, shown through tax records, become a very wealthy individual. Michaels wife was Maria Elisabeth Becker. The couple had 10 children. Michael died in 1815.
Along with the Millers, the Illig family also played a prominent role in the propertys history and that of the surrounding area. A descendant, Carrie Grims (1880-1951) mother was an Illig, and her father, a Batdorff. Buried in Millbach cemetery at St. Pauls United Church of Christ, prominent local residents include Miller, Illig, Grim, Batdorff, Seltzer, and Smith.
Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Carrie Grim operated an antiques shop in Millbach. It was Grim who sold the propertys interior woodwork in the early 1920s. Among the first things discussed about Millbach today occured during this time period, when members of the DuPont family funded the bulk of its interior being removed for the present-day Philadelphia Museum of Art. The house was cannibalized with woodwork such as doors, floorboards, staircases, trim, etc. going to the museum, said Henderson. Today, the kitchen with walk-in fireplace make up a Pennsylvania German period room at the museum. The period room was done in time for the Sesquicentennial International Exposition of 1926, when a Worlds Fair took place in Philadelphia celebrating the 150th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the 50th anniversary of the 1876 Centennial Exposition.
When Carrie Grim died in 1951, the property and 51 acres went to her great-nephew, Hugh Lewis. Her estate records show the price being $10,000.
The Henderson auction was not the first on-site sale at Millbach for local collector Fred Buch, who, as a boy attended Carrie Grims estate sale in 1951. She handled a lot of glass and china. I was about 12 years old and had taken an interest in china. At the sale, I bought a Historical Blue Staffordshire sugar bowl by Woods for $20, which I still own, said Buch.
Yale University School of Fine Art graduates Richard Flanders Smith and his wife, Joane, both grew up in New England. Rich Smith, a vice president of product styling and design at Armstrong Industries, was also a photographer and an antiques dealer. The couple owned Millbach in the 1970s and built a house and various outbuildings on land directly across the street and next to the cemetary. Among the buildings was a reassembled old log house from York County. Rich died in 2001, and Joane in 2010. We set-up the foundation in the year 2000 when I acquired the property from Rich Smith, said Henderson. Rich installed the track lighting on the ceiling of the rooms to better light his photography and antiques.
Intertwining domestic and industrial spaces is an Old World tradition and interesting feature of Millbach. A significant example of surviving 18th-century Pennsylvania German architecture, Millbach was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Chip Henderson had contractors visit the museum for dimensions and had some partial restoration done. We tested the lintel beam at the museum, which was determined to be white oak. Lintel beams reside over the hearth (fireplace) in a kitchen. We found a log down South, due to not finding one large enough in the northeast. It weighed 3 tons, and a Lancaster County company carved and finished the beam. It ended up being 3,500 pounds.
Chip and wife Yvonne have owned and restored several historic properties, including nearby Charming Forge, which the couple still owns. Today, they reside in a retirement community in Lititz. Over the past 17 years, mostly the past decade, Chip has assembled a regional study grouping of material, some associated to Millbach itself. The Oct. 28 auction consisted of a 95-lot catalog including Stiegel-type glass, Pennsylvania coverlets, 24 blanket chests, an important shrank, tables, chairs, beds, and benches, among other things. The cataloged portion began at 10:30 with online bidding via Live Auctioneers. Uncataloged material sold at 9 and in the afternoon following the cataloged items. The real estate was sold at noon. There was no buyers premium and no sales tax. The auction was unreserved.
John Hess and his staff do a good job with on-site sales. Hess held a successful on-site auction on Sept. 28, 2013, at the Stiegel-Coleman/Elizabeth Furnace mansion. The Millbach sale was held under a large tent. Preview took place both in Millbach and in the large barn across the street during ideal warm fall weather and clear skies.
The uncataloged portion included a large antique Wedgwood china service used by the Hendersons at Charming Forge. It was sold in pieces. A soup tureen brought $100 to the trade. Books, catalogs, glassware, and household items were also sold.
Lot #2 in the catalog was a wrought-iron fireplace crane mounted on a base, which went for $1,000. A Buckley and Brooke cast-iron stove from Hopewell Furnace sold for $450, and a red-painted doll cradle for $190. There were 21 lots of various Stiegel-type glass, enamel decorated, etched, blown, colorless, and cobalt. The vast majority was in very good condition. A cobalt blown footed master salt sold for $475; a polychrome enamel decorated blown mug, $275; and a polychrome enamel decorated cologne bottle sold for $850.
A rare four-color crib-size coverlet signed David Yingst, Lebanon, 1854 realized $2,200, yet it was furniture that made up the bulk of the sale. A very early paint-decorated Berks County black unicorn chest ranked among the rarest in the group. It had last sold a decade ago, pre-recession, at Pook & Pook, to Greg Kramer for $22,230. This time it brought $10,500, again to Kramer, and underbid by West Chester, Pa., dealer/collector Jim Burnett. A paint-decorated Lebanon County chest with three arched tombstone panels on front and worn ogee feet sold for $2,900, and an excellent paint-decorated Dauphin/Lebanon County chest dated 1832 and also with three tombstone panels on front, on bracket feet, sold to a collector for $21,000. It had an elaborate compass star and stamped floret decoration and diamond border on a vibrant orange paint-decorated ground. Another chest, this one attributed to Bechtelsville (western Berks County), with sponge paint-decoration, two large hearts on front, and Isaac Bechtel 1771, brought $5,000 to a collector.
The Lebanon County shrank was among the stars of the group. It had a broken arch pediment and central carved shell, block and triangle dentil molding along top, and raised panel doors with cut corners. The cut corners are believed to be a regional characteristic unique to the Millbach area, circa late 18th century. The shrank had a desirable, very old dry surface and sold for $40,000 to a collector from Maryland. It once belonged to well-known Maryland collectors M. Austin and Jill R. Fine. An early local walnut chest with raised panels with the same cut corner feature on panels as seen on the shrank realized $3,250. It was my favorite chest, stated Henderson. It had sold for $6,435 at the Dr. and Mrs. Donald Shelley sale held at Pook & Pook in 2007.
At noon, John Hess sold the real estate and 13.1-acre parcel. He announced that the proceeds were going to various charitable organizations. When asked if he was dissolving the Millbach Foundation, Henderson said no. The foundation will continue. It will remain a standing foundation, yet it no longer owns the property. I still own and direct the foundation, which can distribute funds at the foundations discretion to like-minded organizations. When asked if any easements have ever been placed on the property, Henderson stated no. The new owner can do whatever they want with it; however, the property cannot be demolished, according to Henderson. The Millbach Foundation divested in other assets besides the real estate. A mix of the antiques were listed and owned by the foundation. The auction was held on behalf of both the Millbach Foundation and Chip and Yvonne Henderson. A young couple had interest in the property with the idea of holding events such as weddings, but real estate developer David Charles of Millersville, Pa., was the buyer at $215,000. The buyer does not have immediate plans. As written on the sale bill, annual real estate taxes are $2,625 and school taxes, $8,306. The property contains an apartment, which Henderson renovated.
Millbach, settled by German immigrants in the 1720s, is among the earliest communities in the Tulpehocken Valley. Nearly 300 years later, parts remain an isolated enclave. The 21st century is creeping in, however. A factory-scale turkey farm is currently under construction in the adjacent field, and several miles toward Shaefferstown, gas pipeline is currently going in. Much of the land north and also east toward the mountain remain relatively undisturbed and seem like a time capsule to the Illig and even Miller era. It will be interesting to see what is next in store for this historic building and surrounding areas storied history. We will have to wait and see.

The only information on molecular data from fossils that I am aware of are a
few reports on collagen from bones and some of the DNA extracted from
amber-embedded organisms. I think that we will never have sufficient DNA
sequence from fossils to answer the question you are after. For one thing,
an early biological determinant of mating incompatibility is probably
changes in chromosome structure, which will interfere with functional
meiosis. To see that, you would need a full karyotype analysis; I think
that is extremely unlikely. Most of the structural genes are not going to
confer mating incompatibility.
Paleontologists go with morphological definitions of species because that
is what their data will allow them. I wish we could get the data that
you're suggesting, but I think it is in the realm of science fiction right now.

So, you’ve decided to quit smoking. Go you!
If you’ve tried quitting before, you already know the awful physical and emotional symptoms that come with this process.
Quitting smoking seven months ago was a huge learning experience for me. The process forced me to learn what it takes to fight cravings and deal with stress in healthier ways.
One of the most difficult parts of quitting smoking is stress. Your body and mind experience tremendous levels of it as they go through withdrawal.
In fact, many people who attempt to quit do so multiple times without success. It’s much easier to pick up a lighter than to face some seriously unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.
Quitting Smoking Is Anything but Easy
We all know that smoking is bad for us. So, why can’t we just tell ourselves to throw away our cigarettes and be done with it?
Unfortunately, most quitters can’t simply talk themselves out of the habit.
Look at the statistics. A 2016 study found that, on average, it took 30 attempts before smokers could successfully quit smoking.
A “successful quit” was defined as the quitter being tobacco-free at least a year.
The same study also claimed that around 37 percent of those quitters ended up relapsing later. Even when they’d gotten through a year without cigarettes, they were still drawn back in.
So, what should you take from this data?
Addiction of any type is no joke. If you’ve tried to quit before and returned to cigarettes, don’t lose hope. You’re among the many. Relapse is almost an inevitable part of the quitting process.
Because of the sneaky way nicotine pulls us in, you need a whole lot of willpower and stress-management skills to beat your addiction, once and for all.
How Nicotine Withdrawal Stresses You Out
As you probably already know, nicotine is the most addictive component of cigarettes. But the weird thing is that it affects new smokers and seasoned smokers differently.
In the first few weeks of smoking, nicotine speeds up the mind by increasing reaction time and attention span. It’s a great feeling that leads quickly to dependence.
But for those who have smoked more than a few weeks, the benefits of smoking are described as relaxing and stress-relieving.
How can one chemical make some people speed up and others slow down?
The answer to tobacco’s different effects is nicotine withdrawal. Just a few hours after their last cigarette, addicted smokers begin to experience withdrawal symptoms.
These symptoms include irritability, increased appetite, restlessness and concentration problems. All of these symptoms are the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Instead of handling stress in a productive, more long-lasting way, smokers often pick up another cigarette. Instant relief is granted by nicotine, and the addiction has been satiated.
This is likely the reason why so many smokers associate smoking with stress relief. It’s why quitting is so difficult.
When smoking a cigarette is an easy and fast way to deal with withdrawal stress, you likely aren’t learning healthier, more permanent ways to handle it.
The problem is withdrawal symptoms will just come back in a few hours or overnight.
Find Better Ways to Deal With Stress than Cigarettes
The best way to deal with these negative effects and quit for good is by learning how to manage stress in healthier and more productive ways than smoking.
There are many ways to manage stress, and everyone is different. Techniques that work for one person may have no helpful benefits for another, and vice versa. We’re all unique, with different ways of thinking and coping.
Experiment with lots of relaxation techniques until you find one that works for you. It’s a learning curve that may take some time, but you can do it. Understanding where exactly the stress of withdrawal comes from is part of the battle.
Wouldn’t you like to be able to relax without using nicotine to feed a continuous withdrawal?
5 Healthy Ways to Deal With Stress When You Quit Smoking
Most people who quit tobacco experience nicotine cravings, which are stressful in themselves. However, while smoking may grant some temporary stress relief, you’ll be back at square one once the nicotine wears off.
Another problem quitting smokers often face is finding new ways to deal with other stressors such as physical symptoms and everyday stress and anxiety.
Here’s a list of five tips to help you deal with all your stressors in healthier ways—ways that don’t require nicotine.
1. Lean on Your Loved Ones
While your family and friends can’t solve your problems for you, they can help relieve your stress levels.
Spending time with family and friends releases hormones that counteract the unpleasant ones released by your fight-or-flight response.
You could talk about your issues with a close friend, give your mom a call or go on a date with your partner.
Sometimes, just talking to others about what you’re going through can be stress-relieving. It feels good to know you’re not alone.
2. Go for a Walk
According to Smokefree.org, your cravings for nicotine will lower while you exercise, and they’ll be kept at bay for up to 50 minutes after you finish. Sounds like an easy way to fight cravings to me.
Exercise doesn’t have to be extreme. No one expects you to go run a marathon (unless that’s your thing). Start slowly by simply taking a 15 to 20-minute walk.
A great way to deal with the stress caused by cigarette cravings is to distract yourself. Getting outside for a walk or run gives you the benefit of distraction by your surroundings.
You’ll be soaking up sunlight (another stress reliever) and taking in the beauty of nature. For a bonus, take a walk with a friend, family member or pet.
3. Blow Bubbles
In 1974, a tobacco researcher, M.A.H. Russell, said, “If it were not for the nicotine in tobacco smoke, people would be little more inclined to smoke than they are to blow bubbles…”
So, take a trip down memory lane and blow some bubbles. It’s a great way to pass time as you quit smoking. Like deep breathing, this fun activity requires you to take in air deeply, slowing your breathing and lowering stress.
It’s just another distraction.
It can also be a meditative experience as you watch bubbles floating delicately upward in the wind. You can stare at their iridescent surface rainbows and work to create multi-bubble giants. You’ll be way too busy having fun to think about cigarettes.
4. Remind Yourself that it Won’t Last Forever
This was key for me in quitting smoking: the realization that each craving would eventually come to an end. All I had to do was fight through the difficult part until the craving eventually disappeared.
And you know what? Each craving did eventually come to an end. Nicotine cravings last only 10 to 20 minutes. If you remind yourself of that, you can keep pushing through, one step at a time.
Continue with this attitude and one day, you’ll be able to brush the cravings right off your shoulder. They may never completely disappear, but they will definitely fade and you’ll find other ways to deal with them.
5. Learn Quick Stress Responses
As a smoker, you’ve probably already learned one quick response to stress—the art of picking up a cigarette and lighting it.
When you inhale nicotine, it reaches your brain almost instantly. How easy.
When you remove that option by quitting, you’re going to need another quick way to relieve your stress in the moment.
One great way to do it is by taking one deep breath, and then another. You might listen to guided meditation on your phone or color in an adult coloring book.
One of my favorite ways to handle stress is squeezing and fidgeting with a stress ball. I’d always thought they sounded cheesy. But once I tried a stress ball, I learned that it was a great way to fight my jitters.
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just keep trying different things until you find your new go-to healthy stress-relief method.
Coping With Stress When You Quit Smoking Isn’t Easy
This list has only a handful of stress-management techniques to use while you quit smoking. You can Google “stress relief techniques” to find loads of other ideas and suggestions, or browse other articles on Mellowed!
There are also nicotine-replacement options such as patches and gum that can help you curb your cravings.
Many people rely on these to manage withdrawal, but remember, they are still feeding the addiction. If you use nicotine gum or patches, you’ll still have to face and deal with nicotine withdrawal at some point.
I hope you find some new ways to relieve stress and wish you the best as you manage your withdrawal. Remember, quitting can be a long process. Just take it one step at a time. | <urn:uuid:a1e61259-a50a-4c59-8ba9-ed590294b241> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mellowed.com/cope-with-stress-when-you-quit-smoking/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.954163 | 1,924 | 1.992188 | 2 |
Papaya, papaya ho!

I strongly recommend people to eat papaya regularly. It is such a succulent fruit. This alkaline fruit comes in various sizes and colours from yellow to amber to orange. Papaya is rich in minerals containing vitamin A, calcium and a high concentration of collagen healing vitamin C.
Raw or ripe, the papaya and its leaves contain curative properties. Unripe papaya contains a high concentration of the unique protease enzyme Papain enzyme similar to the stomach enzyme pepsin. That aids in the digestion of protein.
To feel clean from within I am always recommending the papaya. You are going to be shocked that I would ask you to eat the tiny black seeds which are in the centre of the fruit.
These seeds are edible. They are spicy with a pepper-like taste. This tiny seed is an effective way to detoxify the liver whose job is to filter the blood that comes from the digestive tract before it goes to the rest of the body.
This sulphur-rich peppery taste, much like wild mustard, can guard us against, and flush out, parasites and internal worms. Wait! It does not stop here. They have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect on your digestive system. They are effective at killing E-coli, Salmonella, Staph and other dangerous bacteria.
You really must eat the raw or ripe papaya and its seeds. Try it. You will see the difference when you eat papaya daily for a few weeks. I can vouch on the way they remove bloat and flatulence and also prevent indigestion. Your digestive system will feel as if has been gently rinsed and internally and you will feel squeaky clean.
Papain, the enzyme in papaya, is renowned for its anti-cancer and skin cleansing properties. Very little of this enzyme is found in the fully ripe fruit. Papain has anti-cancer properties, as the enzymes eat the protein-laden material surrounding certain cancerous tumours especially breast cancer.
This is because the enzyme content is higher, and the sugar content of the fruit is lower (low-sugar diets are generally recommended for prevention and retardation of cancer).
Ripe papayas reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis, strokes and heart attacks. Carpaine, an alkaloid compound in papayas has anti-tumour properties and organ-healing properties. Carpaine lowers the concentration of fats and cholesterol in the bloodstream and helps to regenerate a hardened, dysfunctional liver.
The skin of the papaya enhances the skin of my clients and me and often I want you to observe that people with radiant skin and glowing eyes eat papaya regularly. To cleanse, tighten your skin and to lighten freckles you need the enzymes found in papaya to be applied on the skin.
The half-ripe papaya both eaten and applied on the skin soften and dissolve dead skin layers, while simultaneously the alkaline minerals nourish and support the creation of healthy skin. The enzymes immediately set to work tightening our skin's collagen tissue. Enzymes are capable of protecting and repairing elastic collagen fibres which both protect us against wrinkles and alleviate existing skin damage.
However, if you're pregnant or planning to conceive, raw papaya should be completely avoided.It is known that papaya is one of the healthiest fruits as it has healing properties from the flesh to the seed to the leaves.
The juice from the papaya leaves are your best home remedies for fighting dengue or malaria infections. Scientific studies have shown that they have some medicinal properties which increase platelet count and are also anti-malarial. Crush some papayas leaves, and drink 2 tablespoons of this bitter juice twice a day for best results. | <urn:uuid:1798d330-3f0f-4309-afe5-2e77d50803bb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thehansindia.com/featured/sunday-hans/papaya-papaya-ho-565928 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573699.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819131019-20220819161019-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.944031 | 814 | 2.296875 | 2 |
New research has analyzed the ways in which the food industry may incorporate the latest information on the many health benefits of vitamin D to help Americans avoid deficiency.
The report presented at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo discussed scientific evidence showing that in addition to maintaining bone integrity vitamin D may also play a role in preventing autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as some types of cancer.
The meeting suggested the food industry may take advantage of the latest technologies to add vitamin D to natural cheese, fruit juice and other beverages and foods to provide consumers with the benefits of both vitamin D and calcium as these nutrients tend to be under-consumed.
Dr. James C. Fleet, professor in the department of foods and nutrition at Purdue University, says that while health benefits of vitamin D are indisputable, scientists are still not in agreement about the best protective levels.
Some have even recommended upping the daily intake to 2,000 IUD, which can be obtained through nutritional supplements. | <urn:uuid:990e1755-24f2-4d42-8352-d7d7e29eaf0b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://betterhealthresearch.com/health-news/food-industry-can-help-with-vitamin-d-deficiency-report-suggests-19237394/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.940813 | 207 | 2.703125 | 3 |

RCL Foods is a leading African food producer in South Africa with a market capitalization of R16 billion, employing 20 479 people in operations across South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia. They manufacture a wide range of branded and private label food products which they distribute through their own route to market supply chain specialist, Vector Logistics.
RCL Foods opted for TBAE's Cooperation Outcome Based Team Building. Cooperation between team members are essential to any team. Often a team of highly talented individuals will perform worse than a team of lesser talented individuals, simply because there is no cooperation within the team.
Amanzingwe Lodge provided the setting for this team building. Team building is the use of different types of team interventions that are aimed at enhancing social relations and clarifying team members’ roles, as well as solving task and interpersonal problems that affect team functioning

Cops have discovered another tunnel for smuggling drugs -- but it’s not where you think.
Military police in Brazil, unwittingly discovered a 50-foot tunnel linking a cocaine trafficker’s house in the favela of São Remo to the vicinity of the University of São Paulo. Not unlike parts of the U.S.-Mexico border, the São Paulo slum is blocked off from the city’s flagship university by a wall.
But that didn’t stop drug traffickers from finding a way around the wall to reach the lucrative market of university student customers.
The tunnel also made it easier for students to buy drugs from the dealers based in the favela, where many fear entering.
“People didn’t need to go into the favela,” Colonel César Augusto Morelli told Brazilian daily A Folha de São Paulo, which first reported the story. “They just had to go the wall and give money to the drug runner and he’d come back with what they wanted.”
Drug dealers also used the tunnel to get away from cops, according to O Globo.
The cops found the tunnel while looking for suspects in the killing of a police officer in September.
Cocaine use appears to be increasing in Brazil, though the lack of good data makes it difficult to say for sure, according to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime’s 2012 World Drug Report.
The South American giant has seeing a disturbing rise of the new drug “oxi,” a derivative of cocaine paste drenched in gasoline or kerosene, Al Jazeera reports. The drug first gained traction in the Amazonian state of Acre around 2005, but has spread to the country’s larger cities in recent years.
At the same time, many are calling for the country to reform its drug laws. The Inter-Press Service reported this year that roughly a quarter of Brazil’s jail population landed in prison for drug charges. With 258 prisoners per 100,000 inhabitants, Brazil has the world’s fourth largest jail population. | <urn:uuid:e74eb6e8-0ca9-474c-bb72-049d92f64bf7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/drug-tunnel-brazil_n_2058713 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.948033 | 444 | 1.75 | 2 |
Additionally, despite the fact that more Native American people die of alcohol-related causes than do any other ethnic group in the United States, research shows that there is no difference in the rates of alcohol metabolism and enzyme patterns between Native Americans and Whites (18).
Do indigenous people digest alcohol differently?
There is no scientific evidence that supports a genetic predisposition for alcohol intolerance in the aboriginal population, says Dr. Joel Kettner. … CBC News has heard from readers who suggested that aboriginal people are missing an enzyme or are genetically predisposed to addiction.
How does alcohol affect indigenous peoples?
In addition to elevated rates of excessive drinking, other problems faced by Aboriginal youth include high levels of depressive symptoms (e.g., extreme sadness, loss of interest, suicidality, and fatigue) and hopelessness (i.e., feelings of worthlessness and pessimism about the future).
Does alcohol affect different ethnicities?
High-risk drinking contributes to the higher rates of alcohol-related problems for some ethnic groups (e.g., Native Americans), but the negative effects of alcohol for ethnic minorities often occur over and above the contribution of alcohol use.
Are indigenous people more sensitive to alcohol?
Large scale U.S. epidemiological studies, demonstrate that compared to other U.S. ethnic groups Native Americans have the highest rates of alcohol and other drug dependence and Native American adolescents have been shown to have the highest rates of substance use and substance-related disorders .
Why are indigenous people alcoholic?
Native Americans living in urban areas typically experience higher rates of alcohol use compared to other ethnicities as a result of acculturative stress directly and indirectly associated with historical trauma.
What did the Aboriginal drink?
Way-a-linah: A Drink from the Tasmanian Cider Gum. In numerous regions of Australia, Aboriginal people made sweet, watery drinks by steeping nectar-bearing blossoms in water; these nonalcoholic drinks were consumed immediately rather than being left for natural fermentation to occur (Moore, 1978, p. 213; Petrie, 1904).
What percentage of indigenous people are alcoholics?
Only 66% of First Nations adults living on reserve consumed alcohol compared to 76% of the general population. This suggests that those who do drink, drink heavily, consuming five or more drinks on one occasion on a weekly basis.
How many indigenous people drink alcohol?
Impact of alcohol use
The alcohol consumption rates were 63.5% of Indigenous men and 14.8% of Indigenous women in 2008. Indigenous men reportedly consumed harmful use of alcohol at hazardous level (14.8%) than non-remote areas (10.4%) (20).
Who has the highest alcohol tolerance in the world?
These are the heaviest drinking countries in the world. Belarus had the world’s highest level of alcohol consumption, with 17.5 liters of alcohol consumed per capita.
What nationality has the most alcoholics?
The top place, with the highest rate of alcoholism, goes to the land-locked country of Belarus. Its citizens drank a total of 14.4 liters or 473 ounces of alcohol annually. Next in line is Lithuania, with 12.9 liters. In third place, leading the Americas, is the island of Grenada, with 11.9 liters.
What is a dependence on drinks with alcohol called?
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a long-term brain condition in which you can’t stop or control your drinking even though it’s hurting your social life, your job, or your health. It’s a range that includes alcohol abuse, which is when drinking has serious consequences again and again.
Why are natives called Indians?
American Indians – Native Americans
The term “Indian,” in reference to the original inhabitants of the American continent, is said to derive from Christopher Columbus, a 15th century boat-person. Some say he used the term because he was convinced he had arrived in “the Indies” (Asia), his intended destination.
Do I have alcohol intolerance?
Signs and symptoms of alcohol intolerance — or of a reaction to ingredients in an alcoholic beverage — can include: Facial redness (flushing) Red, itchy skin bumps (hives) Worsening of pre-existing asthma.
Why is alcohol banned on Indian reservations?
They didn’t get far, though, before the Bureau of Indian Affairs pointed them to the 1834 ban. The law, which stated its official purpose as a desire to “preserve peace on the frontiers,” started as a wholesale prohibition against selling, producing, or even introducing alcohol to Indian reservations. | <urn:uuid:52d0cbd0-e121-4596-8c71-d1d6db858418> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://disruptedphysician.com/smoking/do-indigenous-people-process-alcohol-differently.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570767.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808061828-20220808091828-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.943551 | 972 | 3.296875 | 3 |
Mobile catering in Gold Coast is a form of food handling when food is ready or delivered by car. Occasionally known as lunch trucks or traditional trailers, these cars are usually provided with a refrigerator or heating units and can even accommodate a kitchen. A variety of restaurants may be used to serve food to the general public of the city, for example, somewhere, or to serve food to vulnerable people. A few gourmet professionals use these cars to offer their customers scenes where a professional kitchen may not be accessible. In many places, laws may restrict or restrict the provision of food trucks. Representatives may have trouble making energy for a full dinner during a working day. Some food companies, including regular restaurants, may send various food trucks to business centres to provide these workers with their food. Trucks always provide these professionals with sensible and easy food, sandwiches, and snacks. Frequently, food may be prepared in a convenient place, and in some cases the cooking area may be set up in confined spaces where food may be stored. Wiener trucks and refrigerated trucks or trailers are one of the most common types of flexible stock that can be used in business and in the surrounding areas. Restaurants and professional co-ops may rely on portable food units while providing clients with food in an area without a specialist or other type of kitchen. The advantage of transporting a portable food unit to the site is that representatives of the cafe or restaurant can work in the kitchen they know and include the hardware that is expected to create a full menu. A few sauces can even add a grill to their dining area so that guests can enjoy the freshly cooked meat.
Exhibitions, exhibitions, and various events are often held in large squares that do not have long-lasting kitchens or that focus on food management. In such cases, event coordinators will often rely on food vendors who can carry their various kitchens to the scene. The refinement used in these kitchens may change depending on the strength of the food vendor. For example, retailers of frozen yogurt may bring frozen boxes for their frozen foods, while other food retailers may carry fries and deep-fried fries to organize common sources of frozen foods, for example, burgers and French fries.
Hire a Food Team
When compiling your dinner party, you want to believe all the places that need to be filled. There are a variety of jobs that need to be taken care of in order to have a productive portable feed business:
Cook: A chef is responsible for stopping food at all times. You will probably need many cooking professionals in your team to plan your dinner in a straightforward manner.
Driver: This person is responsible for moving or moving the vehicle from time to time. Depending on the size of your vehicle, the driver may need a driver’s license.
Event Planner: The coordinator meets with clients to manage what they need for their event. Event coordinators are responsible for collecting data, for example, visitor statistics, catering, event type, and other important tactics.
Server: Whether event management is buffet style or full, the server responds by making sure everyone has food and drinks. The server will upgrade hors d’oeuvres for guests, remove buffet channels, or open a help window inside the food truck. You will need different servers for big times.
Manager: This person is responsible for all the work. The supervisor ensures that all tasks are completed on time. Managers are also responsible for dealing with any issues that may arise during the event. | <urn:uuid:17e1bc1e-db33-4863-83b9-3ced6b9e18f4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://passportradio1490.com/what-is-mobile-catering/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.957732 | 703 | 2.046875 | 2 |

A ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Also called lamination steel, silicon electrical steel or transformer steel, is a specialty steel manufactured to produce certain magnetic properties. This iron alloy contains up to 6.5% silicon. Silicon significantly increases the electrical resistivity of the steel which reduces induced eddy currents and thus reduces core loss.
Electrical Steel Fully processed
Electrical steel in which the magnetic properties are completely developed by the steel producer. Though additional processing is usually not required, a low temperature heat treatment may be used to eliminate stresses introduced by the fabrication of the material.
Electrical Steel Grain Oriented
Electrical steel that is processed to achieve optimal magnetic properties in the rolling direction. It is normally used for the cores of high-efficiency transformers, electric motors and generators. Grain oriented steels are produced fully processed.
Electrical Steel Non-oriented
Electrical steel that is processed to have similar magnetic properties in all directions of magnetization in the plane of the material. It is less expensive than oriented steel and is used in applications where the direction of magnetic flux is changing.

President Donald Trump says he’s not going to rule out any military intervention in Venezuela which has come under increased pressure for its human rights abuses.
More than 120 people have been killed in the Latin American country and thousands arrested in over four months of unrest.
“The people are suffering and they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela including a possible military option if necessary,” Trump told reporters at his golf club in New Jersey, alongside Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley.

Venezuelan authorities have long said US officials were planning an invasion. A former military general told Reuters earlier this year that some anti-aircraft missiles had been placed along the country’s coast for precisely that eventuality.
In Washington, the Pentagon said the US military was ready to support efforts to protect US citizens and America’s national interests, but that insinuations by Caracas of a planned US invasion were “baseless.”
Trump’s suggestion of possible military action came in a week when he has repeatedly threatened a military response if North Korea threatens the United States or its allies.
Asked if US forces would lead an operation in Venezuela, Trump declined to provide details. “We don’t talk about it but a military operation – a military option – is certainly something that we could pursue,” he said.

Persian cats require a lot of grooming and care in order to stay healthy. Their long fur can get easily matted if it isn’t brushed frequently, and this poor cat, called Sinbad, was an extreme example of this. He was discovered by a utility worker.
The worker discovered the neglected cat in the basement of an elderly man’s home. When the man admitted that he was no longer able to care for the cat or himself, he gave them Sinbad, a 9 year old Persian cat that needed a lot of help.
Sinbad was unable to move his hind legs at all, and he was so matted that they weren’t sure of his state of health. They began shaving him with electric shavers, but it was slow going. They often couldn’t tell where his skin ended and the fur began, leading to nicks and scrapes in the effort to free him. At one point, he needed to be under anesthesia. When they freed him, he weighed only 7 pounds and was severely malnourished. Elliott Serrano, a humane education specialist, agreed to take the cat home to help him recover instead of leaving him overnight in the clinic.
Serrano was unable to resist Sinbad’s charm. On the second day, the cat wouldn’t leave his side, cuddling on his chest and “meowing” at him. He adopted the cat and set up his own social media account! Sinbad has thousands of fans around the globe, and everyone was so happy to see his miraculous recovery!

Use the MIN aggregate function to compute the minimum value in the column or column expression, specified by value_expression. MIN is valid for character data as well as numeric data. For a character expression, MIN returns the lowest sort order.
Each aggregate join index must be created with a COUNT(*) or COUNT(value_expression). If you do not specify such an expression, Vantage adds a COUNT(*) by default.
You cannot specify a MIN function in the definition of a column-partitioned join index.
For more information about the MIN aggregate function, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Functions, Expressions, and Predicates, B035-1145. | <urn:uuid:fe283757-e27b-4339-84d8-7114c182cba1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://docs.teradata.com/r/Teradata-VantageTM-SQL-Data-Definition-Language-Syntax-and-Examples/January-2021/Index-Statements/CREATE-JOIN-INDEX/CREATE-JOIN-INDEX-Syntax-Elements/select_clause/selection/aggregation_clause/MIN-value_expression | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809124724-20220809154724-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.710437 | 142 | 2.203125 | 2 |
