Vinyāsa 7: Inhale, Exhale, Inhale: Inhale from downward dog as you slide your legs through and balance on your hands. Exhale and lower yourself down slowly between your arms and bend your right knee so that your knees stay together and the top of your right foot comes to rest on the floor next to your right hip. Inhale and grasp your left wrist with your right hand in front of your left foot and lengthen the torso upwards.

Try-aṅga Mukhaika-Pāda-Pa"chimottānāsana is an excellet way to develop grace in movement. If you squeeze your knees together tightly at the top of the movement, you only need to ned the right knee and pull the foot into the hip and the left leg can stay completely straight. You can them slowly move the stretched leg between the arms while lowering. This transition is surprisingly easy because the bent right leg keeps the center of gravity closer to the center of the body. Vinyāsa 8: Exhale, 5 Breaths: Exhale and bend both elbows to the side and tilt the pelvis forward. Stay here until the fifth exhalation.

How to Build Deck Stairs Co-authored by wikiHow Staff Updated: November 19, 2019 Building your own deck stairs can seem like a complicated do-it-yourself task, but it doesn’t have to be! To build deck stairs that are safe and satisfy local building codes, start by using the right materials and taking accurate measurements. Add in a little bit of elbow grease and the proper tools and equipment and you can safely and easily build and use your own deck stairs in no time. Method 1 of 3: Calculating the Stair Measurements 1. 1 Check your local building codes regarding deck stairs. Before you begin purchasing materials and building your deck stairs, you need to go online, call your local government, or contact a building inspector to make sure you’re following your local building codes. Building codes can vary, so you need to be sure you’re following your local codes or you could face a fine and be forced to remove your deck stairs.[1] • Many local governments list their building codes online. Common Building Codes for Deck Stairs Stair treads: 36 inches (91 cm) wide and 10 inches (25 cm) long Stair risers: 7.75 inches (19.7 cm) or less in length Stringers: No notches (saw-toothed or stair-shaped cuts) deeper than half the width of the board, or the stringer will be too weak 2. 2 Imagine a 40-degree slope to find the landing zone of your stairs. The first thing you need to do is find where your stairs will end, or where the landing spot will be. Picture a line running from the edge of your deck down to the ground at a 40-degree angle. Place a tape measure on the ground where you think the stairs will end. It does not have to be measured precisely.[2] • The 40-degree slope should start the bottom of the support beam of the deck because this is where the stringers will be attached. 3. 3 Rest a straight board on the deck and make it level over the landing spot. Take a 2 in (5.1 cm) by 4 in (10 cm) board and lay it on the top of the deck so it stretches over the landing spot that you estimated. Use a 4 ft (1.2 m) level to make sure the board is level above the landing spot.[3] Tip: Anchor the board to keep it from falling by putting a heavy object on top of the end of the board on the deck. 4. 4 Measure the total rise from the landing spot to the straight board. Use a tape measure to measure from the landing spot on the ground to the bottom of the straight board to find the approximate height, or total rise, of your stairs.[4] • Write down the measurements so you can calculate the materials later. 5. 5 Divide the total rise by 7 to find the approximate amount of steps. Take the measurement you made of the total rise, divide it by 7, and round the number to find the total number of stairs you’ll need for your deck. If you have a number with a decimal that is 0.5 or more, then round the number up. If your number is less than 0.5, then round the number down.[5] • For example, if your total rise was 60 inches (150 cm), then divide that number by 7 to get 8.57. Round that number up to get 9 stairs. • Write down this number to use in your calculations. 6. 6 Find the rise of each step by dividing the total rise by the number of steps. The actual rise, or height, of each step can be calculated by dividing the total rise by the approximate number of stairs. This will tell you how tall each step will be.[6] • For example, if your total rise is 60 inches (150 cm) and your approximate number of steps is 9, divide 60 inches (150 cm) by 9 to get 6.67 inches (16.9 cm) per step. • Most building codes say stair risers should not be taller than 7.75 inches (19.7 cm). 7. 7 Use tread boards that are at least 10 inches (25 cm) wide. The treads boards create the part of the stair that you step on. According to many building codes, the stair treads should be at least 36 inches (91 cm) long 10 inches (25 cm) wide.[7] • The number of steps you calculated is the number of treads that you’ll need. 8. 8 Find the length of the staircase by calculating the length of the stringers. Stringers are boards that have sawtoothed or stair-shaped notches cut into them and run diagonally along the length of the stairs to support them. To find their length, add together the square of the run, or tread, and the square of the rise. Then take that number, find the square root, and multiply it by the number of steps to find the actual length of the stringers you’ll need.[8] • For example, if your tread is 10 inches (25 cm), square 10 by multiplying the number by itself, which gives you 100. If your rise is 7 inches (18 cm), square that number by multiplying it by itself to get 49. Add 100 to 49 to get 149, then find the square root of 149, which is 12.206. Multiply that by the number of steps that you have to find the total length of your stringers. Method 2 of 3: Making the Stringers 1. 1 Cut custom stringers out of 2 in (5.1 cm) by 12 in (30 cm) boards. The stringers are what you’ll attach your treads and risers to, and it’s often difficult or impossible to find pre-fabricated stringers that will fit your deck stairs. You’ll need to cut your own.[9] • Most building codes stipulate that the stair stringers can’t have notches (saw-toothed or stair-shaped cuts) that are deeper than half the width of the board, or the stringer will be too weak. 2. 2 Use a framing square to mark a sawtoothed pattern as cutting guidelines. Set your framing square to the height of the riser and width of the stair tread and use a carpenter’s pencil to trace along the edges of the framing square to form a sawtooth pattern of steps onto a 2 in (5.1 cm) by 12 in (30 cm) board. Lay the square on the board and mark the lines, then slide the square down and align it with the previous mark before adding the next ones.[10] • The sawtooth or stair-shaped pattern should match the rise and tread measurements. 3. 3 Cut the notches into the board using a circular saw. Let the blade come to full speed before you cut the wood and cut the saw-tooth notches out by following the guidelines you marked. Don’t cut all the way through the guidelines.[11] • Be careful when operating a circular saw. Wear safety goggles to prevent sawdust from entering your eyes. 4. 4 Finish the notch cuts with a handsaw. The circular saw will cut most of the notch out, but you’ll need to use a handsaw to finish up the cuts without sawing beyond the cut lines. Fit the handsaw into the cut lines and use a back and forth motion to finish the cuts.[12] • Take care not to cut past the guidelines you marked or it could weaken the stringers. 5. 5 Repeat the process to cut another stringer. You need at least 2 stringers to support your deck stairs, so use the same measurements and mark a 2 in (5.1 cm) by 12 in (30 cm) board to be cut. Use the circular saw to cut the notches and finish the cuts with a hand saw to separate another stringer from the board. It should be the exact same measurements and cuts as your first stringer.[13] Tip: Use the first stringer that you cut to draw your markings on the boards to cut the rest of your stringers. Method 3 of 3: Finishing the Deck Stairs 1. 1 Screw each stringer to the bottom of the deck frame with a drill. Use L-brackets and 3 in (7.6 cm) deck screws to attach the stringers to your deck. Place the top of the stringer against the bottom of the frame of the deck and screw an L-bracket on each side of the stringer to connect it to the deck.[14] • After you’ve attached the first stringer, connect the second stringer to the deck by following the same process. 2. 2 Cut the risers to the length of the top of the stringer. Set a riser against the edges of the stringers facing out and use a ruler and pencil to mark cutting guidelines where the riser needs to be trimmed to fit. Use a circular saw to trim the riser, cutting along the guidelines until you cut through the whole board. Repeat the process until all of the risers have been cut to size.[15] • Use the first riser that you cut to make your guidelines on the rest of the boards so you have a uniform length. 3. 3 Attach the risers with 3 in (7.6 cm) deck screws. Place the risers against the edges of the stringers facing out from the staircase. Use a drill to drive the 3 in (7.6 cm) deck screws through the risers and into the edge of stringers where they connect until all of the screw is in the wood.[16] • Use at least 2 deck screws to firmly secure the riser to the stringer. • Don’t drill too far into the wood or it could crack. 4. 4 Trim the treads and drill them onto the stringers. Once you’ve attached the risers, take your 1.5 in (3.8 cm) by 10 in (25 cm) tread boards and cut them to 36 inches (91 cm) in length. Then, lay them across the stringers facing up. Use 3 in (7.6 cm) deck screws to attach the treads to the stringers by drilling through the tread boards and into the edges of the stringers where they connect.[17] • Use at least 2 deck screws to attach the tread boards. Warning: Make sure none of the screws are sticking out of the wood or someone could step on it. Community Q&A Add New Question • Question sam spade Community Answer Your local building code will have a maximum allowable distance between steps. Take the height difference between the top of the deck and the landing (which should be a 4" and reasonably level concrete pad) and divide that distance by the maximum distance allowed between steps. The number you get is the number of maximum height risers required to bridge the distance, but it is likely not an integer. Round it UP (what you just calculated was the absolute minimum number of risers needed). Now divide the number of risers by the height of the deck measured earlier. This is how tall each riser is. Remember you need one less step than you have risers (since the bottom step is taken care of). Ask a Question 200 characters left • Be careful when operating drills and saws.

Before you buy your materials, measure the height of your deck and divide it by the height you want each step to be. Stair risers are usually 7.75 inches or less. Once you have the right amount of stair treads and risers, use your framing square to mark a saw-toothed pattern onto 2 boards for the stringers. You’ll need to cut the notches out using a circular saw, and mount them to your deck frame. After that, cut your risers and treads to shape and screw them onto the stringers. Make sure there are no screws sticking out that someone could stand in. Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 189,098 times.

The billionaire statist Geore Soros appeared today before the European Parliament and delivered a speech discussing what the EU should do in the wake of Brexit. If you weren’t sure Soros was an all out one world order statist before this speech, you shouldn’t have any qualms after it. The speech was simply stunning in its attempt to intensify the role of the EU in its remaining sphere of power. The 85-year old clearly wants to use the opportunity, of the British vote to leave the European Union, to take a giant leap and strengthen the EU into a greater central super-power—paid for by the subjects living within the EU region and resulting in greater coercion of the people in the sector by a more powerful EU governing body. Specifically, he told the European Parliament that the EU should go on a massive multi-billion euro borrowing spree. “Surge funding,” he called it, to restructure the EU, shore up its power and become a much greater influence over Europe. Without sufficient funding, the EU cannot perform the functions it was designed for nor meet the expectations of the European people. And because it fails to achieve the objectives it has set for itself, the Union loses its legitimacy and the support of its citizens. The refugee crisis illustrates the problem. At least €30 billion a year will be needed both inside the Union—to build effective border and asylum agencies, to ensure dignified reception conditions, fair asylum procedures and opportunities for integration—as well as outside its borders—to support refugee-hosting countries and to spur job creation throughout Africa and the Middle East…. Given that its very survival is at stake, the EU should be putting all of its available resources to use. And yet the triple-A credit of the Union has barely been deployed. This is the height of irresponsibility… In order to raise the necessary funds in the short term, the EU will need to engage in what I call “surge funding.” This entails raising debt by leveraging the EU’s relatively small budget, rather than scraping together insufficient funds year after year… There is a strong case to be made for using the EU’s balance sheet. Tapping into the triple-A credit of the EU has the additional advantage of providing a much-needed economic stimulus for Europe. With global interest rates at historic lows, now is a particularly favorable moment to take on such debt… In the short term, reforms of the EU’s existing instruments would allow a far more effective mobilization of resources than the creation of new ones. Two sources of money in particular—the European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSM) and the Balance of Payments Assistance Facility (BoP)—should be put to the task… The Macro Financial Assistance facility (MFA) is yet another source of borrowing specifically designed for actions outside of the EU. It has proven an important instrument in countries like Ukraine but it needs a new framework agreement. (This is urgent because a framework agreement takes a long time to enact and the current Ukrainian government deserves more support than the EU is currently able to offer.) The combined gross borrowing capacity of the EFSM and the Balance of Payments assistance facility is €110 billion. The borrowing power of the latter is almost completely unused. The EFSM has made some €46.8 billion worth of loans to Portugal and Ireland and its spare capacity grows each year as those loans are repaid. All the instruments mentioned add up to a substantial unused borrowing capacity. Spending a large amount at the outset would make it much easier to manage immigration and will allow the EU to respond more effectively to some of the most dangerous consequences of the crisis….Making large initial investments will help tip the economic, political, and social dynamics away from xenophobia towards constructive outcomes that benefit refugees and host countries alike. How does Soros propose that such massive borrowing be eventually paid back? He called for EU- wide taxes: Of course, raising more debt with the current budget will eventually pose deeper questions in light of the limited revenues of the EU budget. The situation has gotten worse over the years as the real own resources of the EU budget (such as customs duties) have shrunk. It is now time to drastically reshape how the EU’s own resources are raised. The reduction of the EU’s resources in 2014 to 1.23% of GDP was a tragic mistake and we are paying the price for it now. The EU cannot survive with a budget of this size. I was greatly encouraged last year when Minister Schauble raised the idea of a pan-European gasoline tax. The European Parliament should seriously consider this idea… In any case, the EU and its member states must find new sources of tax revenue. Another approach would be to levy special EU-wide taxes. The new tax revenue could come from a variety of sources, including the existing EU-wide VAT; or a new tax on travel into the EU and on visa applications, which would shift some of the burden onto non-EU citizens wishing to travel to the EU. And don’t think for a minute that this global statist would stop here. He didn’t go into details but he dead allude to “EU military threats.” [T]he EU faces growing military threats. Our external enemies have been emboldened. They pose new, as-yet unfathomable dangers in various parts of the wider region that are also liable to aggravate the refugee crisis. It is difficult to think that a global statist like Soros doesn’t have in his mind that an EU that borrows billions and taxes its subjects shouldn’t have a grand military force also. It appears the Brits are leaving not a minute too soon. In the wake of Brexit, Soros has revealed the naked power lust of the statist new world order schemers. Europeans should beware.

Back to IndieWire Natalie Portman Circling Former Darren Aronofsky Project ‘Jackie’ Natalie Portman Circling Former Darren Aronofsky Project 'Jackie' Can Natalie Portman get screenwriter Noah Oppenheim's "Jackie" moving again? The Jackie Onassis project certainly hasn't been lacking in top-tier talent trying to bring it to life. Way back in 2010, it was reported that Steven Spielberg was shopping the film as something he would produce, with HBO considering it, but that never came to pass. Then not long after Darren Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz attached themselves as director and star for the film as he was in post on "Black Swan." But their relationship dissolved, as did that incarnation of the movie, with both of them moving on, but now one of the stars of the ballet thriller might take a crack at it. Deadline reports that Fox Searchlight is reaching out to Natalie Portman to take the lead role of Jackie Kennedy in the movie. And it's certainly a promising part. The script follows Jackie during the four days between her husband's infamous assassination and his burial, providing a new perspective to the story, showing the First Lady at her most vulnerable and graceful. But it's also about so much more. In our examination of the script, the plot also sees Jackie caught up in the wrangling between the Kennedy camp and Lyndon Johnson's crew, led by Jack Valenti (who later head the MPAA), who are keen to demonstrate continuity and leadership by moving into the White House as soon as possible. And ultimately we found the script quite moving, showing Jackie's quiet resolve in heroism in the face of national and personal tragedy. Whether or Portman takes the role seems to be hinging on who will be directing. Maybe she'll woo Aronofsky back to the fold? We wouldn't complain about that. But if Portman passes, we do have one other suggestion for the lead: Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. This Article is related to: News and tagged , Portman can act and looks the part. She'd be great, as would Weisz. Isn't Fernando Meireilles attached to this? Or is it a different Jackie Onassis project? just saying Plus, she Natalie couldn't pull-off the role, acting wise. Bibo bib This is a joke right? Who the hell thinks that Natile Portman looks like Jackie Kennedy? I would have waited for Rachel Weisz as well, at least she can act. Total miscast, Natalie does not look like Jackie Kennedy. Would have asked Rachel Weisz to come back to the role.	<urn:uuid:43e1b1da-cd6b-41e1-9f20-f3441f522cc1>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.021594524383544922, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9665167331695557, "url": "http://www.indiewire.com/2012/09/natalie-portman-circling-former-darren-aronofsky-project-jackie-105467/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-023074605", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.863.parquet" }

How do prescription drugs get in your medicine cabinet? Drug czar Richard Gil Kerlikowske United States Office of National Drug Control policy The drug czar Richard Gil Kerlikowske of the United States Office of National Drug Control policy, recently went on record by deflecting blame by pharmaceutical companies for drug addiction and over dose deaths and instead placing the blame solely on the parents. Dear drug czar. Maybe you can answer these questions, if you really blame the parents? How many millions of dollars are required to get a highly addictive drug FDA approved? How many drugs show up in the pharmacy that are not FDA approved? How do pharmaceutical drugs get to the pharmacy? How many times have you heard the drugs side effect is more beneficial than what it was created for? Drugs like viagra were not meant for erectile disfunction, but as a heart medication. The same for rogaine for hair growth, etc... Is it possible that highly addictive drugs masqueraded as LIFE SAVING pharmaceuticals, but the SECRETLY KNOWN use was for very different reasons and the another secretly known side effect is to get people ADDICTED. We now know that tobacco industry knew about addiction and increased levels of nicotine to keep people addicted. They also knew about the continued use causing cancer and painful deaths. How many people will need to die of prescription drugs before our government puts an end to this? The problem of prescription drugs might be blamed on parents, but not for the same reasons people think. (Read Dr. Sober's blog on what the parents are really to blame for.) The real problem is thinking that pharmaceutical companies who spend billions to addict you are not to blame. Another addiction people have: Think of petrol / gas for your auto. The monopoly addiction is when you can't get from point A to point B without buying gas for your automobile. Can't the governments change to a different fuel that we are not so addicted to? This is the same reason that pharmaceutical companies can't possibly be blamed. They give to much money in their lobbying efforts to the politicians in government. Another example is when you watched me on NBC today with my anti drug message, some of the commercials shown at the break were for pharmaceutical prescription drugs. Does NBC have any ethics at all? The correction of prescription drugs starts when politicians and media stop taking blood money from pharmaceutical companies that addict and kill people by the millions.

Thursday, October 2, 2008 Major corporation benefits to include better sober companion life insurance policy. Wouldn't it be great if corporations included benefits for sober companions? You might consider these health care benefits, but they should go under life insurance policies. Of course it would only be available to top tier employee's or the most valuable, because the costs of dr sober-companion life insurance would be to costly. With corporations overworking its employee's with 100's of hours of overtime, its no wonder they turn to drugs and other substances that turn into addictions. Major corporations have to expect their employee's are getting help from drugs. Wouldn't it be great if they finally do something about the addictions they caused and the lives they ruined or ended? It would also be fantastic if corporate benefits included dr sober-companion life insurance. Because a life is worth saving from drug and alcohol addiction. Olsen twins to hire another sober companion for life insurance The olsen twins might try to purchase life insurance in the form of a sober companion. The primary goal of dr. sober companion is to save lives. This is a form of life insurance to anyone who has purchased our services. The olsen twins need a new life insurance policy after it was found that Olsen Twin, Mary-kate olsen in fear for her life after seeing her close drug buddy heath ledger die from a drug overdose. How much is this type of protection worth to the olsen twins? The kind of protection and life insurance she wants is a sober companion like dr. Sober-companion. 24 hour 7 days a week protection against drug and alcohol use. This life insurance is worth the MARY-KATE OLSEN has been subpoenaed to testify in front of a Grand Jury as investigators hope to end the mystery surrounding HEATH LEDGER's drug overdose death. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials in New York are calling on Olsen, Ledger's close friend, to fill in the blanks related to the six-month-long investigation, according to U.S. news show Access Hollywood. The latest news comes a day after her lawyer claimed the actress has provided law officials with all the information she knows about Ledger's accidental drug overdose in January (08). The 22-year-old actress' testimony is sought after because the masseuse who found Ledger dead called Olsen before contacting the emergency services. Reports on Monday (04Aug08) suggested Olsen was refusing to co-operate with the federal probe until she was guaranteed immunity from prosecution. But her lawyer Michael C. Miller insisted, "We don't know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the Government's inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate." A timeline for Olsen's testimony has not been released. MARY-KATE OLSEN knows nothing about the drugs which killed her friend HEATH LEDGER, her lawyer insists Reports on Monday (04Aug08) suggested officials behind a federal probe into Ledger's January (08) death from an accidental overdose were targetting Olsen - but she was refusing to co-operate until she was guaranteed immunity from prosecution. Her name was dragged into the case because the masseuse who found Ledger dead called Olsen before contacting the emergency services, prompting suspicions. The 22-year-old actress' lawyer Michael C. Miller now tells that Olsen has provided the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with all the information she has on her late pal. Miller says, "Regarding the Government's investigation, at Ms. Olsen's request, we have provided the Government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed." Miller also blasted reports that Olsen faces a Grand Jury subpoena if she refuses to co-operate, adding, "We don't know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the Government's inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate."

How much does dr. sober companion cost? * New Price: $900 per day, plus any expenses incurred.* As part of our own version of the Obama Stimulus Package, we have decided to lower the fee per day to $900 instead of the $1,000 we previously charged. The total amount for the month continues to be payable at the beginning of the month and cannot be pro rated if you decide to quit. 24/7 supervision does not come cheaply, so if you can't afford a licensed doctor on live call 24 hours a day and seven days a week, maybe you should take a leave of absence of your life's work and do it yourself, instead of enabling your children. How can you place a price on the final achievement desired of keeping our patients clean and sober? In a closed environment like a rehab center this is easier to accomplish, but what happens when the patient leaves the rehab center or what happens when they finally get out of jail from the dui? How can you put a price on keeping someone out of a cemetery? We charge $1,ooo / day plus any expenses incurred. With at least a full payment for the month in advance, or payment for the year to lock in our dedication to your son, daughter or loved one or client.

It also directly augmented endothelial barrier function via the interference with focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/RhoA/Rac1-regulated endothelial cell adhesion/contractility/motility and prompted the selective transmigration of epithelioid A549 cells. N-acetyl-L-cysteine abrogated FF effects on HUVEC activation, suggesting the involvement of PPAR-independent mechanism(s) in its action. Our data identify a novel Cx43/EGF/ERK1/2/FAK/RhoA/Rac1-dependent signaling axis, which determines the efficiency of lung cancer cell diapedesis. FF interferes with its activity and reduces the susceptibility of endothelial cells to A549 stimuli. These findings provide the rationale for the implementation of FF in the therapy of malignant lung cancers. < 0.05 and ** < 0.01). Error bars represent SEM. All results are representative of CGS 21680 HCl at least three impartial experiments ( 3). Scale bar = 40 m. Note that the relatively efficient diapedesis of A549 cells is usually considerably inhibited by FF. 2.2. A549 Cells Impair Endothelial Barrier Function via Intercellular Cx43/EGF/ERK1/2-Dependent Signaling To identify the mechanisms underlying the attenuation of the endothelial barrier function by A549 cells, we further focused on the mediators of A549-induced HUVEC activation. Protein array analyses demonstrated the expression of numerous angioactive factors in A549 cells (such as FGF-2, Serpin E1, and uPA), and the up-regulation of EGF in A549/HUVEC co-cultures (Physique 2A). Concomitantly, HUVECs displayed increased motility in A549-conditioned medium (Physique 2B and Physique S1B), which suggests the role of paracrine, EGF-dependent signaling in HUVEC activation by A549 cells. Notably, we also observed a high functionality of gap junctions in HUVEC continua (Physique 2C and Physique S2A). This was accompanied by somewhat limited GJIC between A549 cells and HUVEC, as demonstrated by the relatively low value of a coupling index estimated for HUVEC/A549 co-cultures (Ci = 17.6%). A549-induced activation of HUVECs was correlated with an increased abundance of connexin(Cx)43+ plaques in HUVEC/A549 co-cultures Cx43 (Physique 2D). Moreover, the inhibition of Cx43-mediated GJIC by 18--glicyrrhetinic acid (AGA; 70 M, cf. Physique S2C in Supplementary data) and Cx43 down-regulation by siRNA (Physique S3) led to the distinct attenuation of HUVEC activation by A549 cells (Physique 2E and Physique S1C,D), in the absence of nonspecific effects of control siRNA (Physique S3). Thus, Cx43-mediated communication between A549 cells and HUVECs may up-regulate EGF, which further activates HUVECs in a para/autocrine manner. Actually, ectopic administration of EGF resulted in the activation of HUVECs, whereas chemical inhibition of the EGF receptor (by PD158780, 20 M) and of ERK1/2 (by UO126, 50 M) led to the attenuation of this process (Physique 2F; Figures S1E,F and S4). Collectively, these data indicate the involvement of the Cx43/EGF/ERK1/2 axis in A549-induced HUVEC activation. Open in a separate window Physique 2 A549 cells impair the endothelial barrier function via the activation of the Cx43/EGF/ERK1/2-dependent intercellular signaling axis. (A) A549 cells were seeded onto HUVEC monolayers as in Physique 1 and co-cultured for 24 h. Then, the expression CGS 21680 HCl of angioactive proteins was semi-quantitively estimated with an antibody array kit (see Materials and Methods). Plots show the densitometrically estimated dot intensities, illustrating the protein amounts in A549 CGS 21680 HCl cells (in a.u.; left) or in A549/HUVEC co-cultures relative to the HUVEC control. (B) A549-conditioned medium (3:5) was added to HUVECs and their motility was estimated with time-lapse videomicroscopy for 7 h. (C) Calcein-loaded HUVEC (left) or A549 cells (right) were seeded onto HUVEC monolayers and GJIC (coupling ratio-Ci) was estimated by a calcein transfer assay after 1 h. Concomitantly, Cx43 expression in HUVECs and in HUVEC/A549 co-cultures was estimated with immunofluorescence (D). (E) The effect of AGA (70 M) and Cx43 silencing by siRNA on HUVEC motility. (F) HUVECs were cultured in the presence of EGF or A549/HUVEC co-cultures were established as above and the effects of EGFR- or ERK1/2 inhibitor (PD158780 and UO126, respectively) on HUVEC motility were Rabbit polyclonal to ERCC5.Seven complementation groups (A-G) of xeroderma pigmentosum have been described. Thexeroderma pigmentosum group A protein, XPA, is a zinc metalloprotein which preferentially bindsto DNA damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and chemical carcinogens. XPA is a DNA repairenzyme that has been shown to be required for the incision step of nucleotide excision repair. XPG(also designated ERCC5) is an endonuclease that makes the 3 incision in DNA nucleotide excisionrepair. Mammalian XPG is similar in sequence to yeast RAD2. Conserved residues in the catalyticcenter of XPG are important for nuclease activity and function in nucleotide excision repair estimated with time-lapse videomicroscopy. Error bars represent SEM. Scale bar = 40 m. The statistical significance of the differences was tested with one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukeys.	<urn:uuid:1cc5dc04-9fa9-4926-99c2-a1af43c0bdec>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.043434202671051025, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9035943150520325, "url": "http://cetaitdemain.org/?p=10", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs10-138515916", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_10_of_10/part.1114.parquet" }
Home > industry > How ISPs block websites and why it doesn’t help Photo: HT Photo: HT How ISPs block websites and why it doesn’t help New Delhi: India blocked 245 web pages for provocative content on Monday in an effort to prevent the spread of hate messages and lessen communal tensions in the country, and suggested via an official release on the website of the Press Information Bureau that more could follow. As was widely reported in the days that followed, most websites blocked were not related to the ethnic clashes in Assam. Pranesh Prakash, programme manager with the Bangalore-based Centre for Internet and Society, analysed the sites which were listed by the government. In his analysis, 33% of all blocked addresses were on Facebook, 27.8% on YouTube, 9.7% on Twitter and the rest were spread over a number of different websites including Wikipedia, Firstpost.com and TimesofIndia.Indiatimes.com. Prakash says, “I don’t believe that the decision to block sites was politically motivated, but I do believe that in trying to prevent harm, the government has gone overboard." Photo: HT Prakash also pointed out, “There are numerous egregious mistakes. Even people and posts debunking rumours have been blocked, and it is clear that the list was not compiled with sufficient care." Of course, India’s overall record on Internet censorship isn’t great, with the current laws encouraging Internet service providers (ISPs) to take down content without investigating individual cases properly. And that is not even taking into consideration official government orders, such as this decision to block websites. How does it work? New Delhi based cyber security consultant Dominic K. says, “The content is still there and can be accessed from outside India, so these measures are really very ineffective. People can use proxies or a virtual private network (VPN) to circumvent these measures with ease, by appearing to be a different site; so banning sites does nothing to deter malicious users." Proxies are websites that load blocked sites for you—if the proxy is not using the ISP doing the block, they can still load the content from the blocked site and present it to the users, since the blocklists simply block websites, and not their content. VPNs work in a similar fashion, creating a virtual presence for the user outside of their own country. This can be done to circumvent blocks and access region-specific content, but is also a perfectly legitimate tool, and can increase your security greatly. Around the world It’s a pretty crude system but it’s used around the world. In Australia, for example, the government has a page that directly lists their web censorship activities. It wants to block material that includes child sexual abuse imagery, bestiality, sexual violence, detailed instruction in crime, violence or drug use and/or material that advocates the doing of a terrorist act. However, as noted on the same page, these measures can be easily circumvented. Since the content remains on the Internet, and is only blocked, it can be accessed by “any technically competent user". Illustration by Jayachandran/Mint Saudi Arabia and the UAE publish detailed information on their filtering practices but other countries such as China return connection errors, and fake “file not found" errors. Censorship in India There is a long history of Internet censorhip in India, and a perception that the laws have been used for political ends. Net censorship has been around for a while—in 1999, VSNL blocked access to Pakistani newspapers. Later, in 2006 the government wanted to block certain separatist groups of the Yahoo! Groups platform. While the government issued specific pages for the ban, initially, the whole Yahoo! Groups domain was blocked by ISPs. In 2007, Orkut was told to remove “defamatory" pages created by users. Cartoon pornography website Savitabhabi.com was also blocked in 2009, while several blogging services such as Typepad were blocked last year for a few weeks, and then the block was lifted, with no explanations. Political censorship? Like Australia, in the UK too, child pornography is filtered by the government, though users there have to opt-in for this filtering. Other countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden also see such content being filtered. The Indian IT Act also notes various kinds of illegal content which is not permissible, such as child pornography and hate speech. Other countries, such as the US, also have aggressive Internet censorship of copyrighted content. Prakash says, “Internet censorship is not restricted to India alone. Every country in the world has been doing this in different ways. The United States, for example, has even seized domains in copyright cases, which were legally hosted in other countries. With regards to political censorship, which some feel is a concern now, I don’t think that the Indian government is doing that. I believe that they are sincerely trying to address a serious issue, but people are going overboard." He adds, “The biggest concern is that there is no transparency about what is being blocked, or why, and this leaves things open for active misuse in the future." In Google’s 2011 Transparency Report, released in June this year, India did not feature very favourably. According to Google, the number of content removal requests the company received increased by 49% from 2010. There were five court orders from India ordering the Internet giant to remove content and there were 96 other requests by Indian government agencies for 246 individual items. In comparison, the US made only 77 requests in the same period. They also revealed that 70% of the content removal requests from India were related to defamation. National security and religious offence attracted far fewer removal requests. Google received only one request from Indian agencies from July to December 2011 for removal of pornographic content. Our government might not be politically motivated in this instance—however, the possibility for abuse is high, and what’s more, the measures that are being taken are limited at best. Instead of ordering ISPs to block content directly, the government should be working with the content owners and platforms offering the content to have it taken down properly. Instead, we get crude measures which do nothing to deter malicious users, and only serve to inconvenience the general users.

(redirected from healthy) HEALTH. Freedom from pain or sickness; the most perfect state of animal life. It may be defined, the natural agreement and concordant dispositions of the parts of the living body. 2. Public health is an object of the utmost importance and has attracted the attention of the national and state legislatures. 3. By the act of Congress of the 25th of February, 1799, 1 Story's L. U. S. 564, it is enacted: 1. That the quarantines and other restraints, which shall be established by the laws of any state, respecting any vessels arriving in or bound to any port or district thereof, whether coming from a foreign port or some other part of the United States, shall be observed and enforced by all officers of the United States, in such place. Sect. 1. 2. In times of contagion the collectors of the revenue may remove, under the provisions of the act, into another district. Sect. 4. 3. The judge of any district court may, when a contagious disorder prevails in his district, cause the removal of persons confined in prison under the laws of the United States, into another district. Sect. 5. 4. In case of the prevalence of a contagious disease at the seat of government, the president of the United States may direct the removal of any or all public offices to a place of safety. Sect. 6. 5. In case of such contagious disease, at the seat of government, the chief justice, or in case of his death or inability, the senior associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, may issue his warrant to the marshal of the district court within which the supreme court is by law to be holden, directing him to adjourn the said session of the said court to such other place within the same or adjoining district as he may deem convenient. And the district judges may, under the same circumstances, have the same power to adjourn to some other part of their several districts. Sect. 7. 3. Offences against the provisions of the health laws are generally punished by fine and imprisonment. These are offences against public health, punishable by the common law by fine and imprisonment, such for example, as selling unwholesome provisions. 4 Bl. Com. 162; 2 East's P. C. 822; 6 East, R.133 to 141; 3 M. & S. 10; 4 Campb. R. 10. 4. Private injuries affecting a man's health arise upon a breach of contract, express or implied; or in consequence of some tortious act unconnected with a contract. 5.-1. Those injuries to health which arise upon contract are, 1st. The misconduct of medical men, when, through neglect, ignorance, or wanton experiments, they injure their patients. 1 Saund. 312, n. 2. 2d. By the sale of unwholesome food; though the law does not consider a sale to be a warranty as to the goodness or quality of a personal chattel, it is otherwise with regard to food and liquors. 1 Rolle's Ab. 90, pl. 1, 2. 6.-2. Those injuries which affect a man's health, and which arise from tortious acts unconnected with contracts, are, 1st. Private nuisances. 2d. Public nuisances. 3d. Breaking quarantine. 4th. By sudden alarms, and frightening; as by raising a pretended ghost. 4 Bl. Com. 197, 201, note 25; 1 Hale, 429; Smith's Forens. Med. 37 to 39; 1 Paris & Fonbl. 351, 352. For private injuries affecting his health a man may generally have an action on the case. References in classic literature ? Jago, at the Cape de Verds, offers another strongly marked instance of a country, which any one would have expected to find most healthy, being very much the contrary. What you call healthy appetite I feel as Hunger's savage tooth: And, when no dinner is in sight, The dinner-bell's a sound of ruth! However that may be, it is an incontrovertible fact that the things which in virtue of these qualities are said to be what they are vary in the degree in which they possess them; for one man is said to be better versed in grammar, or more healthy or just, than another, and so on. If I hadn't a cent, and if I was living a healthy life with all the time in the world to love you and be your husband instead of being awash to my back teeth in business and all the rest--why, you'd marry me. There was never yet such a storm but it was AEolian music to a healthy and innocent ear. Edinburgh is as healthy as New York--23; but there is no CITY in the entire list which is healthier, except Frankfort-on-the-Main--20.	<urn:uuid:de22ec8f-08d5-40a2-97a3-8f37f643cf10>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.030478715896606445, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9564383625984192, "url": "https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/healthy", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs9-208845086", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_09_of_10/part.955.parquet" }

Skip to main content Join the Discussion 1. Cecil says: Obama is like a bad dream, fortunately we can awake from a bad dream and it will go away. Unfortunately Obama is still around. 2. Sam says: Obama really had no economic policy. He relied mostly on the FEDERAL RESERVE’s ‘Quantitative easing’ Policy of monetary manipulation to hopefully end the mini-depression of 2008-2009… He also gave his Administrative Agencies unfettered authority to impose burdensome regulations on the business community and the foolish public. His Administration was a sham and he was a fraud. 3. Sheila says: Unfortunately, now that the lying, scheming ways of the Democrats during the 2016 election have been revealed, I doubt that Mr. Obama was elected fairly the last time. I don’t think he or his party have done anything good for the American people. All they want to do is pander to various groups to get them to vote for them. They don’t care if the entire country goes down as long as they have money and power. It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for Democrat. 4. Carol says: obama is in na..na land to even think we would believe he had anything to do with the low unemployment numbers for anyone. but then he is a first class narcissist..they always have the highest opinion of themselves. 1. drbhelthi says: Yes. And his German ally, comrade Angela Merkel, dictator of Germany has followed in his footsteps. She still supports him as the best president ever of the U.S., rather than seeing him as a foreign alien, racist with the intent to destroy the U.S. 5. Ojsummey says: Obama’s recovery policy was to put as many people as possible out of work and then put them on food stamps. 6. mdic says: Obozo didn’t do anything to help anyone but himself. The Democraps have done more damage to blacks by giving them handouts than encouraging them to work, but they figured that was the only way they could get votes. 7. David says: Obama was a typicaol liberal academic with no clue how the economy really works and utopian ideas with no connection to reality. 8. Linda says: In reality almost all Republican Presidents have done more for the Black community than any Democrats.

Government's effort to conserve water actually results in more use of it By DAVID MOON, Moon Capital Management December 16, 2001 All I want for Christmas is a new toilet. Actually, I want an old toilet. And I want the government out of my bathroom. That's it. A toilet and some bureaucracy-free alone time to read the newspaper. There is the evidence of my problem, right next to the existing toilet in my master bathroom: a plunger. When we moved into a new house four years ago, we left behind several perfect toilets, one in each bathroom. We exchanged them for brand new toilets in our brand new house. Unbeknownst to us, however, was that the old toilets consumed an apparently wasteful 3.5 gallons per flush, compared to only 1.6 gallons for the new toilets. In 1992, the US Congress decided water conservation was a big enough problem to pass the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, much to the delight of the country's plumbers and plunger salesmen. The Act limits the consumption of water by toilets in new or renovated house to only 1.6 gallons per flush, supposedly saving up to 30 gallons of water per day, according to Environmental News magazine. (If the magazine is correct, that suggests 15.78 flushes per day per household, a level we haven't reached even with two kids and a houseful of non-working toilets.) The old toilets, which almost always did their job just fine with a single flush, used 3.5 gallons per flush. This apparently stressed our nation's resources to the point federal legislation was needed. Plumbing fixture manufacturers love the legislation; their products now need only meet a single federal standard, rather than a multiple mess of state and local requirements. Perhaps some paper company will lobby the government to require the use of 60 sheets of toilet paper per incident, in the name of public health. Never mind that interim flushing actually uses more water. Don't even consider the value of time lost to water closet inefficiencies. I will even ignore the miniscule percentage of our nation's total water usage attributable to the commode. Even ignoring these things, the government has no legitimate purpose in my bathroom. Where are the Roe v. Wade folks? What about the strict constitutionalists? Shouldn't Andy Rooney, or Geraldo Rivera or Barbara Walters do something about this? Michigan Congressman Joe Knollenberg tried. In 1999, he introduced, and then withdrew, legislation that would have repealed portions of the 1992 Act, allowing Americans once again to flush with dignity. Stephen Gordon, director of Detroit's Water and Sewage Department objected to Knollenberg's bill, citing California as an example of sewage success. He claimed that 93 percent of San Diego residents were satisfied or very satisfied with the new (non-working) toilets. I say let those 93 percent flush to their hearts' content. I prefer a single, successful flush. I guess lawmakers have to make laws. Prosperity and peace apparently give elected officials the luxury to think about the really big questions in life ' like my toilet. I hope that one of the minor consequences of a nation at war and in recession is that legislators will properly focus their energies on real issues. Not so in sunny California. In 1992, Los Gatos adopted an ordinance prohibiting the installation of wood burning fireplaces in new homes. The Santa Rosa city council is considering going a step further and requiring that all wood burning fireplaces be replaced with gas burners before an existing home could be sold. Those guys obviously have too much time on their hands. Add me to your commentary distribution list.

Wonderful Engineering Samsung Unveils The World’s Largest QLED Based 88-Inch TV Image: Samsung Our TV screens remained small and bulky as long as we used the cathode ray technology. As soon as we moved to the flat screen technology, we have seen those flat screens growing into massive monsters, big enough to serve as cinema screens with a 34-foot (408-inches) display. We have seen LCD and LED displays of much larger sizes, but this 88-inch Q9 is the biggest of all that makes use of the QLED tech. The quantum dot televisions use a thin layer of semi-conducting crystals between the backlight and LCD screen. The little dots made up of metal alloys produce color and contrast while outperforming the OLED panels. According to Samsung, the technology used in the Q-series re-creates the DCI-P3 color space to provide most naturally occurring colors with 100 percent accuracy, and no other brand has achieved that so far. Image: Samsung The display of the Q9 is undoubtedly amazing, and the 78-inch wide television will require you to have wide enough wall space and a hell lot of money; $20,000! This money will bring you 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution, 240 Hz refresh rate, and a 10-bit HDR system. Four HDMI ports at the back, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi allow efficient communication between your various gadgets and TV; you will no longer have visible cables dangling underneath. A transparent optical cable comes with the box, so you can invisibly connect to the peripherals. Image: Samsung The Q9 has its thin bezels and minimum thickness as compared to the rest of the Samsung’s QLED series. A dedicated wall mounting system comes with the TV to give it the complete look of class and elegance. This one will cost you $20,000, but the prices will go down as low as $2,500 for the smaller ones measuring 55″, 65″, 75.”	<urn:uuid:3171b1fa-1414-4c73-97b2-8b884e6ac433>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.04496729373931885, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9242212772369385, "url": "https://wonderfulengineering.com/samsung-unveils-the-worlds-largest-qled-based-88-inch-tv/amp/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs10-202543635", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_10_of_10/part.684.parquet" }

Andrew Sullivan takes on the incompetence question: "the more we find out about the spectacular recklessness of this administration's conduct of the war the less persuasive it is that this operation was always doomed to failure. In my view, although the war was always going to be extremely difficult, it wasn't necessarily doomed from the start. It was the administration's relentless, politicized incompetence that doomed it." Let me just note that this is an extremely weak claim being made on behalf of the underlying policy concept. It "wasn't necessarily doomed" though it was bound to be "extremely difficult." I'd be interested in seeing someone who thinks along these lines venture some vague probabalistic estimates. It wasn't "necessarily doomed" but was it likely to succeed? Or are we merely claiming that there was some chance of success? Ten percent? One percent? And how does that feed into policy analysis? Obviously, you wouldn't want to try and introduce a bogus false precision to these kind of calculations. Still, it seems to be that before launching a war of choice, you're going to want some better odds of success than "not necessarily doomed."	<urn:uuid:075266a8-ef72-4f77-b1d4-927c96406def>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.868743360042572, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.976468026638031, "url": "https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2006/09/climbing-mount-improbable/39867/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs10-073174450", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_10_of_10/part.841.parquet" }
Monogamous queens help bees cooperate July 20th, 2011 in Biology / Plants & Animals Credit: Mario Pahl Credit: Mario Pahl Co-author of the paper and haplodiploidy act in synergy to promote the evolution of eusociality Professor Hanna Kokko from the Research School of Biology at The Australian National University said the theoretical study looked at the logic of interacting genes in haplodiploids. “It is well known that , bees and all form colonies where individuals help each other and form a collective,” she said. “This paper is about a really old social evolution idea that has experienced a bit of a rollercoaster ride in popularity. “In the 1970s, Bill Hamilton suggested that the weird genetics of haplodiploid insects could favour cooperation in such systems because sisters are much more closely related to each other than they are in other organisms. “But this also means that they are less related to brothers so that would potentially make them less cooperative, and therefore people recently started to believe more in monogamy, where the queen mates only once, as a reason behind their social behavior. “We resurrected Hamilton’s old argument by showing that both monogamy and haplodiploidy favour cooperative tendencies, but not because of the original reason. “Our research revealed that the two work together because the haplodiploid genetic system clumps cooperative genes together so that colonies benefit from having lots of like-minded individuals working together to achieve a common goal.” More information: The paper is available online: DOI:10.1038/ncomms1410 Provided by Australian National University "Monogamous queens help bees cooperate."

Mach 1 Service Engine Light Discussion in 'Special Production' started by xmach1x, Feb 23, 2011. 1. Hey guys I own a 2003 Mach 1 with just over 8,000 original miles. My service engine light came on and I went and got the code for the car to see if I could find the problem. The code is: P0420. I recently replaced the stock Hpipe with a Xpipe, so I was wondering if anyone has gotten this code before and how did you fix it? Thanks! 2. I would have tried to explain what happen to mine and how I fixed it but this is easier LOL! P0420 Error Code: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) Leaded fuel was used where unleaded was called for An oxygen sensor is not reading (functioning) properly The engine coolant temperature sensor is not working properly Damaged or leaking exhaust manifold / catalytic converter / exhaust pipe Retarded spark timing Some suggested steps for troubleshooting a P0420 error code include: Replace the catalytic converter My guess is when you replaced the mid-pipe either an 02 sensor got messed up or not plugged in right or there is a leak at the manifold and just needs tightened up. I would start with the 02 sensor, and in case you dont know, dont touch sensor part it will cause them to fail.	<urn:uuid:9792aa6e-587b-408b-a798-e3ac17754560>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.1482243537902832, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.941485583782196, "url": "http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/service-engine-light.832749/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-366075320", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.987.parquet" }
Adam Gartenberg's Blog Business Analytics and Optimization, IBM and Social Marketing Advancing the search for dry cleaners and figuring out which questions to ask Our last blogging program session was with a host of IBM executives, and there were some very insightful comments that stood out for me from the discussion: Jeff Jonas brought up an area I certainly hope we as IBM will be talking more about - location (or in IBM's parlance, "geospatial data.") The example he gave as to how incorporating geospatial data will be a game changer revolved around searching for a store or service: "Search won't just tell you the best dry cleaners or the closest dry cleaners, it's going to tell you the best dry cleaners that's on your route, consistent with traffic patterns for the time of day you usually drive by." Don Campbell and Bernie Spang highlighted the capabilities we and partners have in this space, such as Cognos 10 which allows you to run queries from a mobile device that factor in your specific location, or capabilities that come integrated as part of the new Informix edition.) Ken Bisconti put into plain language the experience many people have when transitioning from home to the office: "We have an incredible array of tools and advancements in consumer space that we use at home, and then we get into work, and it's lame." He described the advancements coming to enterprise applications, many of which are available now, if still in relative infancy. IBM Case Manager is one example, combining collaboration, analytics, transaction processing, and other capabilities, presented to the end user in a Web 2.0 experience built on widget components. Bernie Spang followed up on a reference to the Watson Jeopardy-playing computer system IBM is building (which was also highlighted by Brenda Dietrich in the Day 3 General Session) by highlighting an extension of the nature of the game show. "Remember that Jeopardy asks you the answer. In a business setting, a lot of times we know the answer, and need help figuring out what questions to ask about it." Erick Brethenoux shared an example of the unexpected insight that can come when you use analytics to dig into your information. He described how IBM had worked with an insurance agency that was surprised to discover a set of young drivers with unusually low risk of accidents or claims. When they dug into the details, it turned out that they were were all owners of sports cars, and collectible sports cars, at that. Because they didn't drive recklessly, didn't park the cars on the street, etc., the agency was able to create a new product to target that specific market segment. That one new product alone paid for the analytics software many times over.	<urn:uuid:a5a8f2b9-6882-40b8-a175-122afdf7354f>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.0666700005531311, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.961617648601532, "url": "http://adamgartenberg.com/gartenberg/agartenberg.nsf/dx/advancing-the-search-for-dry-cleaners-and-figuring-out-which-questions-to-ask-", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-207585850", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.1100.parquet" }
Spiritual Benefits The following is a transcription of the audio: In spiritual terms of the three principal states of consciousness, waking, sleeping, and dreaming, the coursest state, the one with the least potential for spiritual evolution is the ordinary waking state. Because of its malleability, the dream state has more transformative potential. Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, a meditation master says, "It is easier to develop your practices in a dream than in the daytime. In the daytime, we are limited by our material body. But in a dream our function of mind and our consciousness of the senses are unhindered, we can have more clarity, thus there are more possibilities. If a person applies a practice within a dream, the practice is nine times more effective than when it is applied during the waking hours." There are also many reports of people using lucid dreams as a preparation for death. In the last year of her life, one woman reported having 160 lucid dreams and said of these dreams, "These dreams teach me how to die." In Tibetan Buddhism, dream yoga, which builds on lucid dreaming, came about principally as a way to prepare for death. When you realize there's a disembodied dimension of reality, the dream state, that can be as real or even more real than our physical waking state. It shows us that experience can continue without having to have a physical body. With lucid dreaming, you can learn to disidentify, let go of, or die to your physical body and come to identify with a more subtle body that many spiritual traditions assert can transcend bodily death. For those who relate to this sort of thing, you can also purify karma in a lucid dream and prevent negative karma coming to fruition in the waking state. In Western terms, karma is just another word for habit, which means you can clean up your bad habits in your dreams. In the Buddhist view of mind, karma often starts to ripen in the subtle dream state, before it manifests in the gross waking state, which means it can be purified at this more subtle level. In this regard, a sensitive relationship to your dreams can literally save your life because you're working with the blueprints of your experience before they become fully constructed and manifest reality. There are countless stories of people having dreams of premonition, where the dreams did indeed come true. My own experience supports this traditional claim. The basic principles of lucid dreaming can help you become more aware of these types of dreams and use them to guide your life or even save it. You can incubate lucid dreams to receive guidance. Dream incubation goes back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians and then the Greeks. The literature is full of stories about people receiving messages and teachings in their dreams. This sort of thing is common in extended meditation retreats when the mind really opens up. Tenzin Palmo, a British nun spent 12 years in solitary retreat in the Himalayas often snowed in for months in a cave. She said that this was never a problem because whenever she needed guidance or inspiration, she'd ask for it and get it directly from her dreams. When I did my own three-year retreat, I often did the same thing. I'd incubate a lucid dream, then get the information I needed. Sometimes I'd find myself sitting at the feet of one of my teachers fully lucid and ask questions just the way I did in waking reality. Now, whether these teachers were somehow infiltrating my mind, or whether they were merely aspects of my own wisdom mind appearing in the form of a teacher, doesn't matter to me. The message is what's important, not the messenger. You can also incubate dreams for others and become a surrogate dreamer, receiving advice for other people. This is a common practice in shamanic traditions and is frequently employed in Tibetan Buddhism. I have never actively incubated such a dream, but I have received such dreams serendipitously. When I share them with the people for whom they were intended, the information did indeed bring benefits. The spiritual benefits of lucid dreaming really take off when it evolves into dream yoga and sleep yoga, which I'll discuss in more detail later. This is when you engage in a series of progressive meditations while you dream each one more subtle and refined. These practices are designed to expose your bad habits and to replace them with good habits. Part of dream yoga involves transforming the contents of your dreams, which is really about transforming your mind. What else are dreams made of? So with more advanced lucid dreaming, you're working to transform your mind at deeper levels. For example, in one stage of dream yoga, you work to transform your fear by consciously creating frightful situations in your dreams and then relating to your anxiety and fear in the context of realizing it's all just a dream. In another stage, you work with transforming your identity into a sacred form, as a way to develop flexibility and identity, and to tap into the divine nature of your being. You can also work with entering into the body of another dream character as a way to develop empathy and compassion. In more advanced stages, you try to see through the contents of the dream altogether, as a way to liberate yourself from being swept away with the contents of your mind. And finally, you actually meditate in your dreams the same way you would meditate during the day. These and many other spiritual applications of lucid dreaming are explored within the context of dream and sleep yoga, which we'll explore in later courses. In the audio clip below, which is from one of Andrew's weekend workshops on lucid dreaming, he shares a comment on the difference between lucid dreaming and dream yoga.

Basketball Impersonator Brandon Armstrong Presents: Lonzo and LaVar Ball (Video) basketball impersonator brad armstrong lavar ball Basketball impersonator Brandon Armstrong has given us a ton of classic impersonations of NBA players over the years, including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Russell Westbrook. However, for his latest video he’s turning to college ball. The subject? UCLA star freshman Lonzo Ball and his outspoken dad, LaVar Ball. If you follow basketball at all, then chances are you’ve heard some of the crazy things the overbearing LaVar has been saying recently—you know, that Lonzo is better than Steph Curry, or that he’s seeking a $1 billion endorsement deal for his son, or that, in his prime, LaVar could have taken Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one. Why is anyone listening to what LaVar Ball has to say? I don’t know. His kids are really good at basketball. Maybe people just can’t look away. What I do know is that, for his latest video, Brandon Armstrong, a.k.a. BdotAdot5, gives us a spot-on impersonation of Lonzo’s playing style while recreating LaVar’s most ridiculous claims. And it’s fantastic. Take a look: SUBSCRIBE to TotalProSports With March Madness kicking off today, we’ll probably be getting a lot more quotes from LaVar Ball. Hopefully Brandon Armstrong will be taking notes so he can give us a sequel to this video in a couple weeks.

Mistakes I Made With My Self-Published Book Covers I’ve committed the worst sin of self-publishing. No, not failing to hire an editor (well, okay, I did that one, too. A bunch of times). No, not falsely representing myself to try and get my books on digital platforms used for library checkouts (wait, I TOTALLY did that one, and I won’t apoogize). I must confess: I made my own covers. If you get one piece of advice about self-publishing (which you won’t, you’ll definitely get WAY more than one piece, totally unsolicited, but if there was an award for Most Common Advice it’d be this): Don’t make your own covers. What most people won’t say is why this is a bad idea. You know, beyond the generic, “They look crappy.” What is it about a homebrew cover that just doesn’t fly? How do people pick them out immediately? What are the mistakes that I made? How can you avoid repeating them? Right Now Versus Right The excitement of self-publishing got the best of me more than once. So, I’d make something "right now" instead of making something that was right. An ugly cover is like a crime: sometimes you’ll get away with it in the moment, but there’s no such thing as getting away with it forever. Instead of making a cover quickly, make it right. You’re self-publishing. Nobody is going to remember if you blew your self-imposed release deadline because it took you a couple extra days to get a cover. Everyone will remember that cover if it sucks. Not Picking a Theme John Swartzwelder has some fairly boring covers, but he’s got a standard, and damn it, 15 or so books in, I can't help but get excited when I see a new one. Amanda Lovelace changes out titles and colors, and other than that puts out the same cover over and over. For a self-published author working in one genre, a certain uniformity isn’t the worst idea in the world. If you don’t like screwing around with covers, work hard on a single, nice template, change out the title and some colors, and call it a day. Given the choice between 10 unique, ugly covers and 10 same-y but decent covers, put me down for decency. For once. The Tools Matter You can make a cover in Microsoft Publisher. But...don’t. It’s been like 15 years since my first self-pub, so I have an excuse, but you don’t. You can jump online and find options that’ll give you Photoshop quality, in terms of pixels per inch, and much better font and design options than Microsoft’s design program, which really doesn’t even fulfill the aesthetic needs of a B+ Lost Dog poster. I know it seems like there’s a high barrier to entry on some of these programs, but those “barriers to entry” can also be called “competencies.” Or maybe “features of the program required to produce a decent product.” Using Kindle Cover Creator Again: Just don’t. The cover creator is the most underwhelming feature of publishing on Amazon. I would love to start an award, a challenge, to use only the cover creator and its built-in assets to create a cover that doesn’t suck. If you think those covers look fine, take a cover you designed over there and remake it using a better tool. As you go, you’ll tweak a bunch of shit that’s not tweak-able in the cover creator, and you’ll see how those little options make all the difference. It’s also a red flag for “I’m self-published!” Wear your self-pub status as a badge of honor, but don’t wave it as a red flag. Not Evoking the Text You’ll still have all your fingers. Including the middle ones. When you make your own cover, you are mega familiar with the book’s contents, not just the surface, plot-level shit. Use this knowledge to create a cover that’s enticing and interesting to new readers and also evocative to people who have finished the book. Your understanding is much deeper than that of a hired gun, so capitalize on that. It’s one of the few advantages you have over a pro. Not Mimicking Good Covers You don’t have to use a knockoff as your final cover, but just like the way you learn storytelling by writing like your favorites, learn how to make covers by designing like your favorites. Find a cover you love and remake it. Again, not as your final product, but as a learning tool. Looking Only To Books For Inspiration When I’m stuck, I’ll check out the greeting card aisle. Greeting cards have weird layouts, mess with color in big ways, and might provide you an inspiration that’s unexpected and still pleasing to look at. And they’re of similar proportions/dimensions to a paperback book, so you can usually scale the design. T-shirts can work, candy packaging. Look outside the book for ideas, and take pictures, save ideas you can come back to later. Don’t Assume People Are In On The Joke Sometimes I’d make a silly cover for a silly book. Which makes sense in a certain way, but in another way, it’s insane. You could get away with this if your book showed up in a bookstore or a library. Because something about a legit binding, an actual physical object you can hold in your hands, something about that works if you have an intentionally bad cover. But online, nobody is going to know that YOU know that the book looks ridiculous and that this is intentional. Going the “shitty on purpose” route is a mistake, even if that matches the book’s theme. On the other hand, Jon Konrath takes everything I just said and shoves it right back in my stupid face, so what the hell do I know? Using Unaltered Stock Images If you use a stock photo or image, especially a free one, be aware that there’s a good chance it’s been used before, and there’s a good chance it’ll be used again. If you use a free image, make sure to alter it in some way so that only someone who peruses this stuff A LOT will recognize the image. For the love of god, don't put something like "typewriter" or "bookshelf" into a free picture site and use something from page 1 of the results. Don't use this. Don't. Abiding By All The Rules The rules exist for a reason, and a lot of the reasoning behind the current rules of cover design exist because of the ways books function, as objects, on retail shelves. You’re self-publishing, so why bother making something for bookstore shelves, where your book will probably never show up? Make something that looks good on a screen. Make something that looks good with a field of white behind it. Look at the colors and fonts on the websites you'll use to sell, and make something that stands out. You’re self-publishing, so you don’t need to make something that is polite, clean, and generally not disgusting. Make something weird. You don’t have to put a publisher logo on there, you don’t have to devote a certain percentage of the space to your name, and you don’t have to ugly up a nice design with a blurb if you don’t want to. Listening To People Who Decree That Self Pubs Must Hire Pros I’ve experimented with roasting my own coffee. With fixing my own car. I’ve experimented with a circular saw. I’ve tried out all kinds of shit more complicated and with a much higher risk level than making a shitty book cover. No matter how bad you screw up a book cover, you get to hang onto all your fingers. When someone tells you “You can’t do that,” when you’re discussing a matter of taste, like making your own cover, what they’re really saying is, “I wouldn’t do that.” Yeah, you wouldn’t. And if you’re unwilling to accept that small level of risk, or to understand why someone else might, I’m betting that all the pages between your slick, well-designed cover reflect that risk-averse mindset. You CAN make your own cover. And yeah, you’ll make mistakes, and when your mistakes take the form of art for public consumption, you’ll probably hear about those mistakes from people who...aren’t all that nice. But you’ll still have all your fingers. Including the middle ones, which you can use to express how you feel about being bossed around by cowards.

Beyond the Weekend August 16 \| Taming the Tongue August 16, 2019 Read: James 3:2-12 (NLT) Listen: James 3 (NIV) “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.” It’s a cute children’s rhyme we often say to children. The problem is it’s just not true. Words do harm us, sometimes significantly. Angry words often are remembered for a lifetime. Phrases— like you’ll never amount to anything, why are you so dumb, you’ll never be as good as your sister, and you’re just like your father—can negatively impact someone for decades. James, the half-brother of Jesus, knew this well. A significant part of his letter in the New Testament is about the incredible damage a tongue can do. He said the tongue “makes great boasts…is a fire…a world of evil…corrupts the whole body…sets the whole course of one’s life on fire…is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” Few parts of our body can do more damage than our tongues. We must always work to keep it in check (James 3:2)! Review your most significant conversations from this week. Think about those with your spouse, children, co-workers and neighbors. On a scale of 1-5, how well did you keep your tongue in check? Think about your words, tone, volume level and even body language. Then, confess where you were wrong to God, asking for “wisdom and understanding” (see James 1:13) as you remember the importance of taming the tongue and the power of words.

Designing organisations for the gig economy Future of Work insights When people say Gig Economy, images typically spring to mind of brave Deliveroo cyclists weaving through the city traffic, but in reality the gig economy is going to have a tangible impact on the working lives of us all. Wherever your priorities and principles leave you regarding the rise of freelance, short term commission-based work, the one thing experts agree on is that the gig economy (defined here) is likely here to stay. Therefore I wanted to offer my insights on how leaders should expect their worlds to change as a result of the rise in the gig economy, whether your organisation chooses to directly engage with this model of work or not. 1. Everyone wants more freedom in their careers – give it to them before they leave to find it without you Last year the UK Government published a paper regarding self-employment and the rise of the gig economy, which claimed that roughly 5 million people across the country are currently engaged in gig work. The figure will have only grown since then and there is no way all of those people are Uber drivers (no matter how much the heatwave is putting people off braving the Tube). The fact of the matter is that the gig economy has spread far and wide across all industries and hierarchy levels. From lawyers and project managers to massage therapists and chefs, no matter what you do for a living, the allure being able to decide where and when you do it is a universal draw, bringing increasing numbers of people into gig work. The lesson I am taking from this is to reflect on what it says about what people want in their careers. As the priorities of our workforce moves from a career ladder to a career lattice of experiences, all of us can make changes to ensure we are offering our people a working experience that better suits them. Offering career breaks, broadening your progression considerations for high potential staff, facilitating secondments, and offering in-house or external development training, are options which most organisations could utilise, and would help to retain top talent. 2. Think about why people would want to stay working with you If the Gig economy is a symptom of a popular which is more willing to chop and change companies and roles, it’s important to think about what would keep someone with your organisation. Ten years ago, if someone said that people would be rushing out to buy running shoes made of ocean plastic or that 7% of the British public would be completely vegan, I would have been incredulous to say the least. However the modern age of information has made us collectively keener than ever to ensure our impact on the world around us is a positive one, and this enthusiasm extends far beyond our buying habits. Speaking as someone who seems to consistently end up getting half as much rest and twice as much coffee as I probably should, time is often a lot more valuable than money. Considering how drastically this era of positive purpose has impacted our consumer habits, it stands to reasons that it is also going to increasingly impact our choices of where and how we work. I love the Deloitte Do campaign as it drives a message which really resonates for me, about having the opportunity and attitude to take action and change things for the better. However, it’s easy for the purpose of a firm to get lost in the weeds, especially in larger organisations. If people are only getting out of bed and into the office for the paycheck, they will leave the minute a competitor wafts a better salary under their nose. The movement towards more flexible, fluid career paths puts the power in the hands of the individual, and your organisation needs a convincing argument for why they should stay. 3. Gig or otherwise, prepare your organisation for a faster turnaround of people 60% of gen Z don’t want to see themselves in the same job for more than 2 years. However, this movement towards a looser career trajectory isn’t just a millennial thing. People of all ages are moving around more in search of the right experiences. As a result, we need to think about how we design organisations which people can integrate into quickly, and ensure that knowledge is retained in the organisation after people leave. My colleague Rob Whelan recently wrote about how organograms really don’t do the 21st century organisation any justice, and in my head I want to see organisations better orientating around tasks rather than roles. With the rise of robotics, AI and squad based delivery models, it is no longer universally the case that work is delivered through static, inter-personal structures. Knowledge management systems are going to become increasingly important in order to stand up teams made up of both human and digital collaborators and get them up to speed and delivering as soon as possible. Then ensuring everything from data management systems and the-much-neglected exit interviews are in place to ensure valuable insight isn’t lost when the team disbands. What strikes me in looking at the above and trying to think of an appropriate summary and sign off, is that in reality none of these insights are new realities. In actual fact, I guess the gig economy is nothing hugely new (this style of work has been the norm in parts of Asia for a long time, it just feels new because the West has only really started to feel the effects more recently). This is likely one of a number of changes we are going to see as the digital native generations join the work force and bring their innate technologically minded approaches to solving problems. All the big names in the gig economy rely in some way on a smartphone in order to deliver their model. As tech continues to develop at an accelerated rate we should expect more of these sorts of sociological changes on the horizon. I may not be looking to shred my "contract" and go off on my own any time soon, but I still think an organisational purpose, opportunities to develop and the ability to work in new and exciting ways is something that matters to me. I’d love to hear what other people are doing to embrace the gig economy whilst maintaining business as usual in your organisations? From extra bike racks in the basement for those delivering parcels on their lunch break, to a few more vegan options in the canteen, sometimes the smallest changes can end up being the most worthwhile… FoW Insights FoW Insights Future of Work Future of Work Did you find this useful?	<urn:uuid:1f8e5696-ff85-4752-9ceb-233f84dccab8>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.03791552782058716, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9663622379302979, "url": "https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/pages/consulting/articles/designing-organisations-for-the-gig-economy.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-397070783", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.148.parquet" }
In a country where 300 million people live on less than a dollar a day, Amit Kumar—nicknamed “Dr. Horror” by the Indian media after his arrest last winter for heading an illicit global kidney-transplant ring—had little trouble finding homegrown organ donors. One favorite hunting ground was a strip of restaurants, shops, and hovels near an Islamic shrine, or dargah, in Mahim, a predominantly Muslim precinct of Mumbai. Devotees of the dargah, which attracts people of all faiths, donate money to restaurants to help feed the beggars who cluster there. Last June, walking past one such restaurant whose kitchen extends to the sidewalk, I saw a dozen or so men huddled within scorching distance of giant cauldrons in which meat and potatoes simmered. Expressions glazed and clothing in tatters, the men watched, motionless and silent, their patience unwavering. I felt as if I were looking at a still photo. Kumar, who’s now on trial, has told officials that he sent his agents to offer such men anywhere from $500 to $2,500 for a kidney. Elsewhere, in the fast-growing towns of states like Haryāna and Uttar Pradesh, Kumar’s ring also went after newly arrived migrant workers seeking jobs. Most donors were keen to trade their kidneys for cash. Some were professional blood donors, such as Mahesh, who worked at a tea stall near a century-old clock tower with a shattered dial that rises above Meerut, a city in Uttar Pradesh, near Delhi. He, in turn, told me about Shahid, a rickshaw puller who joined Kumar’s group after having made a career out of finding men who would sell their blood to nursing homes. Leveraging his knowledge of blood sellers, Shahid became one of Kumar’s most successful kidney hunters. Then there was Gyasuddin, a boyish-looking migrant worker with a shock of hair who sold his kidney for $1,000 and became another node in Kumar’s Meerut network. Wandering through Meerut’s narrow streets, amid hundreds of cyclists, rickshaw pullers, three-wheelers, cars, and pedestrians, I asked shop owners and lemonade vendors where I could find other people who had sold their kidneys. They pointed me toward a rundown building across from the tower. Behind a tall iron gate, groups of men were playing cards in the shade of a tree, among them Rakesh, Mahesh, and Om Prakash—all of whom would later raise their shirts to show me long scars above the waist. Thin as a rail, with some of his front teeth missing and the rest stained brown by tobacco, Prakash paints for a living. “I took the day off today,” he said as we sat down on an empty cart to talk. Nearby, Rakesh toasted a pellet of hash in a matchstick flame. Sharing a joint, the two men told me that they were paid $1,000 after their kidneys were taken, in 2006. Prakash said he had been lured by a man posing as a contractor who offered him a month-long painting job for $4 a day. He was put up in a high-rise apartment in nearby Gurgaon with other workers. The next day, he was taken for an ultrasound and a blood test—and even though he found this puzzling, he went along for fear of losing the job. He was then tempted with more cash in exchange for his kidney. The surgery took place nine days later. With a sheepish grin, Prakash said he had spent all the money on alcohol and prostitutes. The Indian government’s case against Kumar includes complaints from seven men who allege that they were cheated out of their kidneys. Their stories are similar: Gyasuddin or other agents of Kumar took them to Gurgaon on the pretext of employment as masons, waiters, or cooks. They were kept at safe houses and medically tested. Some were forced to undergo surgery; others were falsely diagnosed with ailments like gall stones that required surgical treatment. Dozens of other victims had been willing donors but they weren’t paid what they had been promised. Because Kumar’s agents had to pay for the ultrasound and other tests needed to match each donor to a recipient, they shortchanged many donors. The result was a bunch of disgruntled kidney sellers, some of whom complained to police in Jaipur and Mumbai. On the morning of January 24, a climactic fight broke out between two men near a busy street-crossing in Morādābād, a town in Uttar Pradesh. A crowd gathered, and the already slow traffic of cars, scooters, and cycle-rickshaws came to a halt. One of the men was Gyasuddin, the donor-turned-agent from Meerut. The other was Vidya Prakash, who was accusing Gyasuddin of having stolen his kidney. A constable on street duty found the allegation so odd that instead of letting the men off with a warning, he took them to a nearby police station. And thus did Amit Kumar, India’s self-taught and self-made kidney king, with clients from Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Middle East, and with homes and properties in Mumbai, Toronto, Hong Kong, and Australia, end up in a Haryāna prison.	<urn:uuid:01d2aa24-109b-4baa-bf80-f0cffa896867>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.1339394450187683, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.987490713596344, "url": "http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/12/caveat-donor/307136/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs6-053741027", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_06_of_10/part.197.parquet" }

Sunday, February 13, 2011 She's going to die My friend Ed's daughter. She is just 24 years old. 1. Anonymous8:27 AM The story about your friend has really moved me, especially as her parents weren't sure they wanted her before she was born. It must be agonising for them now that they are going to lose her anyway having loved her once she was born. As you say, priorities quickly reshuffle when we're faced with the life and death situation your friend is in and the choices she has had to make about her own children. Sending love and blessings from England. 2. My sister-in-law's best friend is living the same storyline right now. Different type of cancer, but same results. Harvested eggs, rushed wedding, horrible rounds of treatments. She was pronounced cancer free and then, a month shy of a year later, it had come back. She is now terminal but still fights to have some life that can provide quality. She is 34 years old. Because of all these stories, cancer is the only charity we support largely and consistently. It touches everyone and is the scourge of the earth. My heart goes out to your friend and his family. 3. Reading this made me wonder if I would want to know that the end is near. I'm sad for your friend and his daughter. I hope there isn't much suffering but instead a life full of love. 4. Anonymous7:41 PM I feel for your friend - I've always known that the worst think that could happen to a parent is to outlive your child, but I think that watching your child die has to be even worse. I think I've blogged about this before, but a former co-worker has a 6-year-old daughter who has been battling stage 4 neuroblastoma for the past two years. She went into remission for a very brief time, but the cancer has returned, and it's not looking good. I've always been of the mind that just because someone has it worse off than you do doesn't make your troubles any less important, but yeah ... thinking about these two young women really puts things in perspective, doesn't it? 5. Stories like this does put your own life in a different perspective. After a year that we have had within our own family, it's so clear that your life can change in an instant. I hope that your friend's family keeps the hope alive and live it day to it's fullest. They at least have this time together. So sad when cancer gets the young ones, but there's always a chance that you can beat the statistical odds. 6. I can understand, even the tiniest bit, how your friend and his wife must feel, watching someone they love with all their heart go through this. While it's not anything anyone ever ever wants, there are blessings to be found. I found them as I walked that path with Lauren and was grateful for the time I had with her even while knowing those days were shortened. I will hold your friend's family in the Light and send prayers for whatever is in the highest good of them all as we can never really know that, can we? You are a wonderful friend who continues to hold a sacred space for him. I think that's one of the things you do best - hold sacred space. :) You may not see it, but we all do.	<urn:uuid:39775cb9-00b1-460f-ac11-fcc6e6949805>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.350757896900177, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9920985102653503, "url": "http://onegalsmusings.blogspot.com/2011/02/shes-going-to-die.html?showComment=1297769913357", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-181083047", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.570.parquet" }
Online Loot, Free Recharge Offer, Technical News, Sunday, 12 August 2018 What is Chromium? What are some of the things that make Chromium different from Google Chrome? What is Chromium What are some of the things that make Chromium different from Google Chrome Google Chrome is a web browser that is developed and maintained by Google technical giant. The Chrome open source web browser uses the source code of Chromium and edits development features by Google and some non-free coupon. Then what is the Chromium browser? This is an open-source web browser developed and maintained by the Chromium project. When Google first introduced Chrome in 2008, he also released the Chromium source code, which was based on Chrome as an open-source project. And its various parts have been released under various free software licenses including BSD license (for the part written by Google) and MIT license, LGPL etc. The open-source code is maintained by the Chromium project, while Chrome itself is maintained by Google. Google Chrome is also released in 2008, which is developed and maintained by Google. The chrome and chromium browser is tied to each other because the chrome borrows the source code of chromium. You can detract from the look of the Chrome and Chromium browser people. Google Chrome is colorful, and Chromium is blue. However, this is not the only difference between chrome and chromium. Want more privacy on the internet? Try this new great browser Difference between Chrome and Chromium in Hindi: The biggest difference between these two browsers is that while Chrome is based on Chromium, Google Chrome also includes many proprietary features such as automatic updates and additional video format support. Google has taken an approach similar to the Chromium OS, an open-source project that is the base of its Chrome OS-operating system that runs on Chromebooks. What Chrome Has That Chromium Does not: Chrome is based on Chromium, but in Google Chrome browser Google has edited many proprietaries, it is closed-source bits, which lacks Chromium. Specifically, Google does the following in Chromium: Amazing Browser Extensions! Which makes watching your YouTube video a pleasant experience Media-Codec support: Chromium has HTML5 5 Audio / Video Codec Support Ltd., which is available in the form of non-proprietary codecs such as Theora, Vorbis, WebM, VP9 etc. In the case of Chrome, it aids in the support of some non-free stuff like AAC, MP3, and H.264. Chrome includes licensed codecs for these proprietary media formats, which give you access to a wide variety of media content-specifically for streaming videos from HTML5 sites that stream to H.264. Both browsers include basic, free codecs: Opus, Theora, Vorbis, VP8, VP9, and WAV. Adobe Flash (PPAPI): Chrome includes a sandboxed paper API (PPAPI) Flash plug-in that updates with Google Automatically chrome This is the only way to get the most modern version of Flash on Linux. Even on Windows and Mac, Chrome is better than the NPAPI Flash plugin from the sandboxed Chrome instead of the old PPAPI Flash plug-in available from Adobe's website. (You can actually get a Pepper Flash plug-in from Chrome and then install it and you can use it in Chromium if you wish.) Automatic Updates: Chrome uses Google Update (Google Software Update Agent and Google Software Update Daemon on Mac) for automatic updates for version. This is not available for Chromium. Updates are made on some Linux distributions through package repositories. Google Update is also used for other applications like Google Earth. A mobile browser with maximum privacy and security Unlimited VPN Chrome Web Store: On Google Chrome, the ability to add extensions outside the Chrome Web Store is disabled on all Windows and Mac channels. However, extensions can be edited through developer mode. Extension Restrictions: For Chrome, Google disables extensions that are not hosted in the Chrome Web Store. Usage Tracking And Crash Reporting: Unlike Chromium, Google has added crash reporting and has also edited the usage statistics option. Chrome sends data to Google servers It includes general data such as your device and OS, Chrome settings, malware, search queries etc. This allows Google to show you suggestions, results, and ads. Crash reporting and usage tracking can be disabled from Chrome's settings. Sandbox support is both in chrome and chrome browser. It is always enabled in the case of Google Chrome. For Chromium, some Linux distributions can disable sandbox features. So about: the sandbox in Chromium can be ensured that the sandbox is enabled and working by default. This is one of the best features of chromium (and chrome). You should keep in mind that Chromium is not Google-branded, but Chromium is still very much Google focused. For example, Chromium has the same sync feature found in chrome, so you can log in with Google Account and sync your data. Google Chrome is used in Windows and in Chromium in Ubuntu. Google Chrome is a commercial closed source product that is built by Google, which is based on the open-source Chromium project. Google Chrome is not open source, therefore, it is not available by Ubuntu repositories by default. Although Google makes its Chrome available through a third party repository. Google Chrome is the product that is designed for everyday use, the Chromium browser is an open source project for developing code running on Google Chrome. Google Chrome releases officially received are static, while Chromium is a high-risk project development. How to see your password hidden behind the star in the browser? Getting Chromium: You can download Chromium from this official download page: Download: Chromium On Windows and Mac, using Chromium is a bit difficult. You can get the official Chromium built, but they will not be automatically updated because the updater is a closed-source part of Google Chrome. So you can get the updates from the third party and for that, you have to rely on the third party distributor. You can compile Chromium with source code. However, there are many features in Chromium that depend on Google's servers, and those features are enabled by default. You will see them listed in these features on the Chromium Settings page. They include fixing mistyped web addresses, a prediction service, Google's anti-phishing, and more. So, what should you use? If you want a browsing experience that is not with a bug, then you have to use Google Chrome. If you want to enjoy browser crashes, memory, and CPU usage, then you have to use Chromium. If you are looking for open-source software and you do not want to use a closed source, then the Chromium browser is more suitable, but if you are not interested in open-source software, then installing Chrome is better, because it Offers better Flash Player. Chromium is good because it allows Linux distributions, which requires open-source software to package a web browser, which is roughly equivalent to Chrome and sends it to its users. Such Linux distributions can also use Chromium's default web browser instead of Firefox - and there are things to do. If you are in open-source software and try to avoid any close source bits, then chromium is a good option for you.

Site help to approach the topic "Wrinkles" Site help to approach the topic "Wrinkles": What are wrinkles? They are furrows, folds of skin that form on the face with age or with certain facial expressions. They can be divided into two types: • wrinkles caused by emotional expressions • wrinkles caused by aging The wrinkles appear even at a young age and are due to the expression that a person takes, even during sleep. Wrinkles from aging instead appear due to a failure of the subcutaneous tissues, not necessarily linked to the age. Smoking, stress, pollution and abuse of alcohol facilitate the formation of facial wrinkles. Wrinkles may also form due to a sudden drop in body weight. Wrinkles involve the skin, that is epidermis and dermis. What causes wrinkles? They develop because of failure of subcutaneous structure formed by elastic fibers and collagen. Types of wrinkles In the face of a man or a woman may appear different types of wrinkles: • lines, forehead wrinkles, also known as "lines of anxiety" • glabellar wrinkles • periocular wrinkles, also known as "crow's feet" • genian wrinkles • perioral wrinkles • nose-genian wrinkles • smile lines • commissural wrinkles What is hyaluronic acid? It is a physiological component of connective tissues, including skin. It has the ability to maintain the shape and structure of the skin and its absence causes the collapse of the skin structure. It also allows to draw water into the tissue, keeping the skin hydrated and plump. Hyaluronic acid is also present in the cartilage and tendons to maintain lubricated these structures. What is collagen? Main physiological component of connective tissues, it’s the main protein found in humans. Abundantly present in human dermis, it has a rigid structure that gives elasticity and support. By the time its structure lapses and is one of the causes of skin breakdown. It is important to take care of the skin in order to prevent wrinkles and improving the existing ones. Simple treatments allow you to take care of yourself in a non-invasive and painless way.	<urn:uuid:0b25eb84-8d99-4d92-a224-9e9afc4efda9>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.026770472526550293, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9374274611473083, "url": "http://www.winformweb.it/estetica/en/beautyflaw/site-help-to-approach-the-topic-wrinkles.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs6-022263311", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_06_of_10/part.612.parquet" }

Babysitter's Assignment by Bruinhilda Rated: K Summary: Why you shouldn't ask a Supertrooper to take care of a VIP kid... Walsh walked into the hanger bay, where a series of technicians worked furiously on the P-38's cockpit. After a moment's observation, he walked up to the Ranger standing nearby. "Goose. My office. Now." "Yes Commander." The Commander sat down at his desk, and regarded the Ranger standing at attention in front of him. "Now then. Gooseman...what the HELL were you thinking?!?" Goose blinked. "About what, Sir?" "About duct-taping the Premier's second cousin Ronald to the wall of the ship! What did you think I meant?" "Oh, that. Well, what was I suppose to do, Sir? He wouldn't stop playing with the controls. I had to keep him from firing on Ozark somehow." Walsh rolled his eyes. "There are ways to discipline a 9 year old, Goose. Tying him up isn't one of them." "I was going to fire him out of the airlock, Sir, but I thought the Premier might have been a little upset. So I compromised." "You think the Premier isn't upset now? It's not easy to get the glue off. I think the boy is still sticky. And the manpower expended..." "I doubt it's the tape, sir. It's more likely all the candy pops he was eating. Besides, how was I supposed to know it would take 3 hours and 9 technicians to peel him off?" "Couldn't you have at least taped him right side up?" "He wriggled. Besides, the blood rushing to the head is supposed to be good for the brain." Walsh signed, and rested his head in his hand. "You're on KP duty for the next three months. For some reason, the Premier declined to press charges." Muttering under his breath, he added, "Probably because he always wanted to do that to the little brat himself." Aloud, he finished, "Dismissed. Report to the kitchen." Goose saluted and walked to the door. Then he turned around again. "Sir? Has this hurt my chances of ever getting assigned a VIP again?" Walsh glared at him. "I wouldn't trust you with a VIP if you were the last Ranger in my command. Now report to the kitchen!" Goose saluted again, walked out the door, and then grinned. "Mission accomplished."

Charlecote: bringing history to you Although Charlecote Park, Warwickshire is closed at the moment, due to the current social distancing regulations, we can still enjoy its history. Charlecote Park, managed by the National Trust, lies 5.4 miles east of Stratford-upon-Avon. In the 1550s the estate was at the south edge of the Forest of Arden, but over time the landscape became more open as trees were removed to create a deer park. In the eighteenth century the grounds were landscaped by Capability Brown. The Lucy family managed the house for generations. From 1823 to 1867, under the care of George Hammond and Mary Elizabeth Lucy, the house was rebuilt in the Elizabethan style. In her time, Elizabeth I had visited Charlecote, as had possibly another well-known person… I’ve been reading a lot of books about Shakespeare lately. A 19th century oil painting showing the apocryphal story of Shakespeare poaching deer from Charlecote. Shakespeare is shown with Sir Thomas Lucy before the gateway. SBT 1970-7: Image Courtesy of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust One of the most popular stories from Will’s lost years is that he was caught poaching on Sir Thomas Lucy’s land, and maybe that’s why he went to London. This idea was first put in print in 1709 by Nicholas Rowe, Shakespeare’s earliest biographer, but was in general circulation at the time. R. Bearman (2004) has suggested that while the story deserves consideration it could have arisen out of a passage in the Merry Wives of Windsor, and notes that Shakespeare probably had little time for Thomas Lucy and wanted to satirise him. Thomas Lucy, a Protestant, and supporter of Queen Elizabeth, was in his day the local anti-Catholic enforcer, while Will’s father, John had been on a list of recusants, although John used fear of being served with a writ for debt as an excuse for non-attendance. It seems likely, however, from the company he kept, that John was a Catholic supporter. This would have given his son, Will ample reason to dislike Lucy. The Renovations Centuries later, as part of the re-building of the house in the Elizabethan style, Charlecote’s Great Hall was renovated: the barrel vaulted ceiling was created in plaster, then painted to look like timber, while the walls were finished in plaster and painted to look like stone. This reminds us that history is not always all it seems. The gatehouse was the only sixteenth century feature to survive the nineteenth century restorations completely unaltered. George Hammond Lucy, the owner at that time, died intestate in 1845 – he was only fifty-six. Perhaps house renovations wore him out – I know that feeling. After George died, Mary Elizabeth’s brother, Hugh suggested she should let Charlecote and sell off some of her possessions to provide for her younger children. But Mary Elizabeth was a spirited, lively character. She was determined to stay on at Charlecote, ‘even if I have to live upon a crust, nor shall any of the paintings or furniture be sold.’ A few years later, two thieves broke into Charlecote. ‘What have they taken?’ Mary Elizabeth asked, in panic, springing out of bed. ‘Everything,’ the butler said, ‘but don’t be frightened ma’am…’ The irony is she’d been more frightened by his knocking than by the burglars themselves. The thieves were caught, sentenced and found guilty. Mary said: ‘Bradshaw was sentenced to fifteen years’ transportation and Evans ten. The lightness of the sentence surprised the prisoners as indeed it did… all in court, and more particularly myself.’ Mary was a woman of her time and class.

SBT 1928-9/2: Image Courtesy of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust The Later Years Sadly, (Henry) Spencer Lucy, Mary Elizabeth’s son didn’t share her appreciation of fine things. He was the last of the old era and enjoyed a squire’s life of entertaining. Spencer was said to be a generous host and full of stories. Charlecote was now warmed by hot air which flowed through ornamental grills in the floors. Life could be good. But when the bills began to mount, Spencer decided to start selling off the paintings. That was in 1888 and by 1890 he was dead. In 1946 the National Trust took over management of the property.

Best Useful Articles The Basics of Hair Growth Hair growth requires the production of new cells. New hair cells are produced in the lower part of the hair bulb. The hair bulb is the part of the hair that remains inside of the hair follicle. While in the follicle, it is nourished by the blood that flows in the skin, the skin that cradles the hair bulb. As new hair cells form, they push on the old cells, cells attached to the hair bulb. Pushed by the new cells, the older hair cells move up the hair bulb. Eventually, the pushed hair cells reach the top of the hair bulb. At that point they undergo an important change. When the hair cells get to the top of the hair bulb, they begin to form 6 cylindrical layers. The cells in the inner layer will harden; they will contain the protein called keratin. The hardened cells in the inner layer are viewed as the strand of a human hair. The rate at which new cells form in the hair bulb plays a large part in determining the rate at which any one hair will grow. The formation of new hair cells requires the division of precursor cells. As is always the case in cells growth, that division takes place faster, if the cells are well fed. That is why thinning hair can be prevented with the proper diet. Hair growth also involves the production of keratin. Because keratin is a protein, its production is genetically controlled. That fact helps to explain why some people have faster growing hairs than other people. Hair growth, like so many aspects of life, demonstrates both the effect of the environment and of the genetic component of the living cell. hair, hair growth, hair bulb, hair cells, basics hair, process hair, move hair, bulb hair, attached hair, lower hair Best Useful Articles © Dimitrov Dmitriy Designer Dimitrov Dmytriy	<urn:uuid:67bad4e4-91a9-433c-b761-7c539d916515>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.28485608100891113, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9453614950180054, "url": "http://ezoclub.org/hair-loss/news_2008-06-14-07-07-02-828.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs10-079475794", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_10_of_10/part.1091.parquet" }
How to Boost Your Business with Google Ads Translation? 00 Google Ads translation Undoubtedly, Google Ads translation can play a key role in boosting your business on a global scale, as it will help you reach more international audiences than ever before. If you want to leverage your Google Ads translation for an effective online marketing campaign, this article will provide you with several useful tips. Why Is Google Ads Translation Important? Are you having some budget for advertising but unsure whether Google Ads is worth the investment? Or you might wonder, is it necessary to “worry” so much about this task, rather than just put it on google translate and have everything done within seconds? Before diving into how to boost your business with successful Google Ads translation, let’s be clear about why it is important. 01 Google Ads translation Here are some facts about Google Ads: • Google is the biggest search engine today with 85.55% of the world’s market share as of Jan 2022, according to Statista. With such a huge user base, Google Ads can be very useful. • The algorithms of Google Ads are also proven to be effective in matching what you advertise (using pre-defined keywords) with customers’ needs (based on their search terms). It works well 99% of the time! • Universal might Google Ads be, the majority of Internet users tend to search and click ads in their native languages. Given the above statistics and facts, it goes without saying that to reach more users globally, being multilingual on Google Ads is a must. Google Ads translation and localization require more than word-by-word transformation. Just like any other form of advertising, it requires a thorough consideration of contexts, cultures, customers, etc. Many companies have suffered when their ads triggered controversies globally, and we, for sure, all want to avoid that. So how to be successful with your Google Ads localization? Here are 6 tips. Tips to Boost Your Business with Successful Google Ads Translation #1. Choose your target language Every business wants to have a global reach. But you can only focus on some countries and languages; thus, be very clear at the beginning about which to target. You can use your Google Ads dashboard and other Google reports to see who might have an interest in your products or services. After that, do not forget to change the setting of your target language to “French speakers”, for instance. #2. Do not use Google translate For a fast and cost-saving translation, you may be tempted to use google translate for your ads. But will that work? While it can help people understand the gist of a text, advertising requires more than that! 02 Google Ads translation For advertising, customers need to feel the “vibe” or “soul” of your products, which machines can hardly deliver. Instead, it should be done by professional Google Ads translation agencies. Also, Google Translate may not fully recognize regional variations of a language. For instance, Chinese spoken in different regions of China, or other parts of the world, will not be the same. And only experienced linguists can identify this. #3. Pick and localize the right keywords For Google bots to successfully “locate” your site and introduce it to potential customers, you must use the right keyword. But what keywords will be worth bidding on? Here are some tips to pick and localize: • First, conduct keyword research in your target language, using platforms such as SemRush. Look for the local’s popular search terms that are related to your business. • Choose the ones with high search volume and low competition and create a final list of keywords. • Work with a professional partner to localize the list of keywords. Once again, keywords can not be translated word by word, or even using the machine translation. The list will be long, and you will need to dive deeper into the culture and context, which requires professional knowledge and experience. • Update your keyword list regularly with the same steps. In this way, your bidding on Google can be more effective, and your business can save a great deal of time and money. #4. Adapt to Google Ads’ character limits There are a number of rules to display ads on Google, but the most challenging one in creating multilingual Google Ads lies in the text length. In fact, the length of text of Google Ads is usually limited to 15 to 90 characters. You will need to take this into account since different languages will have different text lengths. For example, a Vietnamese or Chinese text tends to take up 30% more space than an English version. Thus, if you just localize the ads without realizing character limits, chances are that the text can not be fully displayed on Google. Hence, do not forget to adhere to Google Ads’ character limits during your Google Ads translation. #5. Do not forget the negative keywords Many keywords, despite appearing to be “relevant” to people’s search terms, are actually not related to your business. If these keywords are included in your Google Ads, people will likely click to your landing page and bounce just right away, which makes your campaigns ineffective and wasteful. To lower the bounce rate and increase the effectiveness of Google Ads, do not forget negative keywords. For example, if you sell soup, “meat” can be translated and added negative keyword list. This way, you may not have to pay for the irrelevant click without any conversion. #6. Localize your landing page 03 Google Ads translation LDP Imagine when users click a Google Ad in their mother tongue, but then find out that the page is in another unfamiliar language. Chances are that they will churn immediately. To make sure that your Google Ads translation works, bear in mind to localize all “touch points” along their purchase journey, too. This includes landing page, about us, deals, check-out, etc. Such localization can help your customers have a smooth experience, thereby making a purchase more easily.

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger... Sunday, March 24, 2013 Ubud Water Palace Dance! We were on our way home from Sari Organik when we rode past the Ubud Water Palace and I snuck a peak through a tiny passageway between Starbucks and Cafe Lotus and noticed that it was all lit up! 10 seconds later we were parked and heading for a vanilla latte at Starbucks and a view of the Palace at night. Can you believe this place?! As it would turn out, the Palace was closed for a traditional Legong dance performance, but the side door from Starbucks led right into the Palace courtyard and nobody seemed to mind that we were heading out of it... so, we got to enjoy a traditional dance in the Palace courtyard for FREE with our Starbucks in hand! Ready for photo overload?! I was a bit snap happy. It was mesmerizing, magical, sooo professional, colorful, deeply historical and cultural and different than anything I'd ever seen before. The way they moved their fingers, feet and eyes were pretty incredible... and the live music! WOW! Just WOW! I did a SUPER crop so you could see how their fingers are all funky looking. These girls start training when they're 5 years old to be this type of dancer, and I'm pretty sure their fingers are broken in order for them to look like this for the dance. OUCH! Guess who got to go up on stage and take their picture with them?! Oh yea! Tomorrow I'll continue on with some other adventures in Ubud, but between whitewater rafting, Sari Organik, and this, that's enough of a picture overload for today! 1. Seriously, Jill! I'm so stinkin' jealous of this amazing trip you're on! It rocks so much I haven't been able to bring myself to comment on it, because I want to just comment overload you on every single post.

It's definitely not out of the question for you 4 to come and have just as incredible of a time, if not more than Aaron and I have had! Now's your chance, while you're living sooooo close! 2. I'm pretty sure I've said it before, but you guys stumble upon the BEST events! Gorgeous pictures! 1.

Camel and other Livestock~ A tool for Healthier Food and Rural Development in Cholistan Desert Falling in southern Punjab, Cholistan is one of the largest deserts of the country and part of the great Indian Desert. The Cholistan comprises three districtsBahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, and Rahim Yar Khan. The total area of Cholistan is 66,55,360 acres. The largest area of Cholistan is present inBahawalpurwhich is 40,28,217 acres. The temperature ranges in the Cholistan from 6 to 50°C. The length of Cholistan is 480 km and width ranges from 32 to 192 km. The human population of Cholistan is 1,55,000 whereas the livestock population is 13,18,000. Table 1 shows some more facts are summarized below. Table 1.

The inhabitants of Cholistan are called Rohi and the main tribe of the camel herders is Marrecha. The camel that belongs to Marrecha tribe is known as Marrecha breed. The other tribe which usually resides on the peripheries of the desert adjoining to irrigated lands is called Malgade. Malgade usually keeps the Brela camel. The Cholistan is the homeland of many precious animal genetic resources i.e. camel, cattle, sheep, and goat. Most of the Cholistan is covered with the wide range of nutritious and drought tolerant species of vegetation. Deep in desert, the camel mostly rely on Khar, Lana, Jand, and Kareer, while in the peripheries mostly kikar is available along the water courses and roadside (Table 2).

This tree works as soil conservation and sand dunes fixation. Cholistan Development Activities The water sources available in the desert are comprised of Toba system and water supply provided by the Cholistan Development Authority and that of PCRWR. Toba is a pond, where rainwater is collected and stored after rains and camels were gathered for drinking before stating their browsing of the day. This water used by all the inhabitants of desert until it dries up. Here are some famous tobas of the desert. A Toba in Cholistan, the place of meeting livestock and the pastoralists.

Butchi sheep of Cholistan Animal Genetic Resources in the Living Desert of Cholistan (Rohi) Cholistani cattle is the best animal in habitats like the Cholistan and a source of income for pastoral people. This breed is medium size, well-developed udder and color range from red and black spotted with white background. Some species are purely red. Cholistani cattle possess well-developed hanging dewlap. The population of Cholistani cattle is 6,67,000 which is the maximum among Livestock population. Milk production potential of these animals is 8-10 liter per day in the desert area and lactation length is the 8-9 month. But install feeding management 18-20 liter per day with 7-8 month lactation length. Cholistani Cattle Bull The maximum milk record is 29 liter per day at Jugaitpeer Farm. Despite the problems faced like lack of proper feeding pattern, poor ranges, long drought, lack of concentrate feed and water and low prices in the inner Cholistan, these perform well. Sheep & Goat There are three sheep breeds of sheep viz; Sipli (northern periphery of Cholistan), Buchi (in a central part of the desert) and Kadali (in the rear Cholistan or nearby R Y Khan Distt). Very common breed of goat is the local hairy goat. The population of sheep is 3,51,000 while goat is 2,20,00 heads in Cholistan desert. There are two seasons of shearing one is spring and other is autumn shearing. The average wool production of Ram and Ewes is 5-6 kg in spring shearing and 3-5 kg in autumn shearing. The main purpose of farming of sheep breed is wool production. The wool price of these breeds is Rs 25/- per shearing but it has no future scope. Lots of wool stays in the desert, which is lying there at the mercy of natural vagaries. We suggest that L&DD Dept and CDA should do something collectively to bring this wool to some use. Wool Lab atBahawalpurcan also plays its role. Camel Breeds There are two types of camel breeds of Cholistan, one is Marrecha and second one is Brela. The camel population is almost 70,000 heads. About sixty (60%) population is Marrecha which is a beautiful animal and used for dancing purpose. While 40% population is of Brela which is a milking animal and maximum milk record of this breed is 22 liter. The milking season of Brela is from October to March. The average herd size of the Marrecha camel is 37. The majority are female with 20-25 lactating camels. The color ranges from blackish brown to light brown while the majority is fawn. Marrecha has long thin neck, long legs, long eyelashes, hair on the ears & neck with medium head and pointed muzzles. The rabbit-like ears are the salient feature of this breed. The top priority of Marrecha herders is to produce drought camels for the transportation of their families in the desert. As Marrecha is highly demanded its racing ability and beauty, the herders stress on its beauty trait also. Fig. Animal Genetic Resource~ Marrecha camel of Cholistan This breed is mainly used for the transportation and riding in the desert. The male is trained for many events and riding in the desert ecology. There is high demand for Marrecha camel by the race hobbyist in local market andMiddle East. The Marrecha camel is liked by the hobbyists and the carters of the cities and produces milk in harsh conditions with high temperature and scarcity of feed & water. This characteristic of Marrecha camel enabling its’ herders to live in deep and use the camel milk as food security. As Marrecha camel found in the deep desert, therefore it is milked when the pastoral family needs it. They provide a good amount of milk to male calves for vigor and good health in future. Types of male animals are sold at the age of 3-4 years at different times of the year. They sell it locally and at the famous camel fairs also. Channan Peer fair is one of the famous destinations of the male Marrecha animals. The average price is almost Rs. 50,000/- to 70,000/- but some animals may attain a price of Rs 4-5 lacs according to its beauty, attraction, and taste of the buyer. The average herd size of the Brela camel is 26, with the majority of the female. The lactating camel ranges from 23-27% of the herd but depends upon the status of the year (dry or wet). The color ranges from blackish brown to light brown while the majority is deep brown, sometimes white specimen are also found. Brela is one of the massive breed of the country with the thick neck, wide chest, muscular legs and massive head. The hanging lip is one of the salient features of the breed. Brela camel is mainly raised for milk and male animals are sold for meat purpose. This is one of the high milk producing animal and produces up to 22 liters per day. The docility of the breed stands as its special trait. Any stranger can milk it any time of the day. It is also easy in adaptation in any kind of ecosystem, which is a tool, which can be used in the areas for milk production where camel had never been raised. Fig. Brela camel Breed The Brela camel originates from the ThaldesertofPakistan. Thal desert is already squeezed and remained only 32%. The rest of Thal desert is irrigated and brought under canal irrigation. The people replaced from that area starred a new strategy of camel production. They migrate from Thal to the Cholistan in August and stay here for 5 months and go back to Thal and their irrigated areas. They move along the road and railway tracks and their camel browse on vegetation available and whenever they find open areas, the aftermath of the crops, or labor the nearby fields, they stay there for a limited time. They also stay near the peripheries of the cities to sell camel milk, which usually is mixed in buffalo milk by the middleman and sold in the cities. They know the cultural events of their migratory routes and hence they participate in the melas (fairs) to sell their male animals and milk. They had adopted a very good strategy to keep the camel production system viable. Brela camel is milked very regularly twice the time. The women usually sell the milk and the earning usually goes to them. As Brela is good milk producer with sustainable lactation yield is resulting from a good source of earning in the form of milk for its herders especially the woman folks. Problems and Constraints Squeezing lands is one of the major problems for camel production systems in Pakistan, especially Cholistan desert. The desert had already brought under cultivation and the land allotted in the majority of the cases to the influential people of the country. The Brela camel herders and other livestock keepers were replaced and never compensated for their losses. Because of no representation in the policy-making organizations and legislation. they couldn’t raise their voice against this cruelty. The small ruminants and cattle breeders already left the occupation of livestock husbandry but the camel herders adapted a new way while moving long routes with their camel and traveling up to the desert of Cholistan. The Cholistan is also squeezing in size, the land grabbing is one of the important issues and the grazing lands are decreasing every day. Fig. The dancer~ Marrecha camel The Marrecha camel herders usually live and migrate with their camels in the deep desert according to the availability of foliage and accessibility of water. In such a remote and far-flung area, there is no market for camel products i.e. milk and wool, etc. The Brela camel herders take benefits of the roads in the peripheries for their milk sale. No doubt the male camel of Marrecha breed catch good prices in the fairs mostly buys for racing/riding and carting, etc. The female of the Brela catches very high price because of the interest of the Gulf countries in the breed for its appreciable milk production. But this scenario is not good for the sustainability of this breed. The Brela camel herders sell their precious animals to buy a piece of land for settlement in the peripheries of Cholistan, as they fear to lose the Cholistan because of land grabbing Mafia. This is a bad state of the situation for the high yielding camel like Brela. a. For development workers and public institutions value, addition to camel products will be a great idea to eradicate extreme poverty in such a plunged area and enhance rural livelihood. b. From scientist’s perspectives, we suggest that Camel is the animal of the future and can be an important tool to combat the new challenges like drought, climate changes, global warming and creeping desertification, emerging diseases and competition for feed & water resources. c.Development of the camel race industry can bring the smile to the Rohi people as it may attract billion of Rupees in the area. Marrecha camel of the region is the best choice in this regards. This will require a holistic approach on all facets of camel production by all players on the ground with the help of Rohi people to make a difference in their lives and also convert this future food basket into safe and health promising camel milk. How early it can be done, will depend on how serious we are to bring this dream into reality. 5 thoughts on “Camel and other Livestock~ A tool for Healthier Food and Rural Development in Cholistan Desert 1. I read this article but such an educated team. Whol article is a collection of cheated/copied paragraphs, false data and baseless arguments. The author just visited few sites on outer fringes of Cholistan, even not entering the lesser cholistan, gathered data from various government departments/internet and produced this article.\ If the author was the man who originated the idea of live stock farms in Cholistan Desert, I am surprised he will still claim that completely failure project. Because the project had no feasibility, no one carried our analysis of the soil where they are making farms, the cost which will occur on pulling out sub soil water with deisel tubewels, and specially what will be the effects brakish water, in cultivation crops in saline soil. Can any one justify on pumping out very limited sweet water in a 20/100 km belt of Hakara Bed which has NO recharge. Can author justify the strength os over 1.3 million live stock in the desert which he mensioned? Is Barela a desert camel? Is Malgada tribe (camel keeper of Barela) a desert tribe? What are the contributions of Dr Abbasi and MD CDA in development of Cholistan and in running of these live stock farms??? Nothing but corruption charges and ongoing inquiries. I would like the author to justify his statement of presence of 8000 camels in cholistan desert. Or presence of Brela camels in cholistan desert. Tahir Majeed 1. I am 100 % agree with you. I was the person who opposed livestock project in Cholistan. I know Abbasi very well. I know, Malgade are not Rohilas but invaders in Cholistan. I know the reality of Cholistan, nomadic life, pastoralism etc. You can see my ideas in my work and articles. This piece of manuscript was just sent by Dr Younas and his student Cheema. I am thinking to down it from my page. I appreciate your argument on this article. Please keep in touch. I would love to meet you and discuss in details. 1. Dr SahibI appriciate your possitive approach and your interest in Cholistan.other then the government departments fake data I have lot of facts and figures about cholistan, its livestock, population, fauna and flora, ongoing projects, failure projects, and rain water management system in Cholistan.

Fuel cell, proton exchange membrane fuel cell [Credit: Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.]proton exchange membrane fuel cellEncyclopædia Britannica, Inc.any of a class of devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity by electrochemical reactions. A fuel cell resembles a battery in many respects, but it can supply electrical energy over a much longer period of time. This is because a fuel cell is continuously supplied with fuel and air (or oxygen) from an external source, whereas a battery contains only a limited amount of fuel material and oxidant that are depleted with use. For this reason fuel cells have been used for decades in space probes, satellites, and manned spacecraft. Around the world thousands of stationary fuel cell systems have been installed in utility power plants, hospitals, schools, hotels, and office buildings for both primary and backup power; many waste-treatment plants use fuel cell technology to generate power from the methane gas produced by decomposing garbage. Numerous municipalities in Japan, Europe, and the United States lease fuel cell vehicles for public transportation and for use by service personnel. Personal fuel cell vehicles were first sold in Germany in 2004. The United States government and several state governments, most notably California, have launched programs to encourage the development and use of hydrogen fuel cells in transportation and other applications. While the technology has proven to be workable, efforts to make it commercially competitive have been less successful because of concern with the explosive power of hydrogen, the relatively low energy density of hydrogen, and the high cost of platinum catalysts used to create an electric current by separating electrons from hydrogen atoms. Principles of operation From chemical energy to electrical energy fuel cell [Credit: Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.]fuel cellEncyclopædia Britannica, Inc.A fuel cell (actually a group of cells) has essentially the same kinds of components as a battery. As in the latter, each cell of a fuel cell system has a matching pair of electrodes. These are the anode, which supplies electrons, and the cathode, which absorbs electrons. Both electrodes must be immersed in and separated by an electrolyte, which may be a liquid or a solid but which must in either case conduct ions between the electrodes in order to complete the chemistry of the system. A fuel, such as hydrogen, is supplied to the anode, where it is oxidized, producing hydrogen ions and electrons. An oxidizer, such as oxygen, is supplied to the cathode, where the hydrogen ions from the anode absorb electrons from the latter and react with the oxygen to produce water. The difference between the respective energy levels at the electrodes (electromotive force) is the voltage per unit cell. The amount of electric current available to the external circuit depends on the chemical activity and amount of the substances supplied as fuels. The current-producing process continues for as long as there is a supply of reactants, for the electrodes and electrolyte of a fuel cell, unlike those in a regular battery, are designed to remain unchanged by chemical reaction. A practical fuel cell is necessarily a complex system. It must have features to boost the activity of the fuel, pumps and blowers, fuel-storage containers, and a variety of sophisticated sensors and controls with which to monitor and adjust the operation of the system. The operating capability and lifetime of each of these system design features may limit the performance of the fuel cell. As in the case of other electrochemical systems, fuel cell operation is dependent on temperature. The chemical activity of the fuels and the value of the activity promoters, or catalysts, are reduced by low temperatures (e.g., 0 °C, or 32 °F). Very high temperatures, on the other hand, improve the activity factors but may reduce the functioning lifetime of the electrodes, blowers, construction materials, and sensors. Each type of fuel cell thus has an operating-temperature design range, and a significant departure from this range is likely to diminish both capacity and lifetime. A fuel cell, like a battery, is inherently a high-efficiency device. Unlike internal-combustion machines, in which a fuel is burned and gas is expanded to do work, the fuel cell converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy. Because of this fundamental characteristic, fuel cells may convert fuels to useful energy at an efficiency as high as 60 percent, whereas the internal-combustion engine is limited to efficiencies near 40 percent or less. The high efficiency means that much less fuel and a smaller storage container are needed for a fixed energy requirement. For this reason, fuel cells are an attractive power supply for space missions of limited duration and for other situations where fuel is very expensive and difficult to supply. They also emit no noxious gases such as nitrogen dioxide and produce virtually no noise during operation, making them contenders for local municipal power-generation stations. A fuel cell can be designed to operate reversibly. In other words, a hydrogen-oxygen cell that produces water as a product can be made to regenerate hydrogen and oxygen. Such a regenerative fuel cell entails not only a revision of electrode design but also the introduction of special means for separating the product gases. Eventually, power modules comprising this type of high-efficiency fuel cell, used in conjunction with large arrays of thermal collectors for solar heating or other solar energy systems, may be utilized to keep energy-cycle costs lower in longer-lived equipment. Major automobile companies and electrical-machinery manufacturing companies worldwide have announced their intention to produce or use fuel cells commercially in the next few years. Designing fuel cell systems Types of fuel cells Alkaline fuel cells Phosphoric acid fuel cells Molten carbonate fuel cells Fuel cells of this type operate quite differently from those so far discussed. The fuel consists of a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide generated from water and a fossil fuel. The electrolyte is molten potassium lithium carbonate, which requires an operating temperature of about 650 °C (1,200 °F). Warming up to operational temperatures may take several hours, making these cells unsuitable for vehicles. In most cases, the electrodes are metallic-based, and the containment system is made of metals and special engineering plastics. Such combinations of materials are anticipated to be relatively inexpensive, perhaps only three times that of the alkaline fuel cell and less than that of the phosphoric acid variety. The cells combine the hydrogen and carbon monoxide first with the carbonate electrolyte and then with oxidizing oxygen to produce a reaction product of water vapour and carbon dioxide. Molten carbonate fuel cells are expected to be useful in both local and larger power stations. Efficiencies of 45 percent may be attained where fossil fuels are already used. Operation at high temperatures creates a design problem for long-lived system parts and joints, especially if the cells must be heated and cooled frequently. The toxic fuel and high temperature together make power plant safety an area of special concern in engineering design and testing as well as in commercial operation. Solid oxide fuel cells In some ways solid oxide fuel cells are similar to molten carbonate devices. Most of the cell materials, however, are special ceramics with some nickel. The electrolyte is an ion-conducting oxide such as zirconia treated with yttria. The fuel for these experimental cells is expected to be hydrogen combined with carbon monoxide, just as for molten carbonate cells. While internal reactions would be different in terms of path, the cell products would be water vapour and carbon dioxide. Because of the high operating temperatures (900 to 1,000 °C, or 1,600 to 1,800 °F), the electrode reactions proceed very readily. As in the case of the molten carbonate fuel cell, there are many engineering challenges involved in creating a long-lived containment system for cells that operate at such a high-temperature range. Solid oxide fuel cells would be designed for use in central power-generation stations where temperature variation could be controlled efficiently and where fossil fuels would be available. The system would in most cases be associated with the so-called bottoming steam (turbine) cycle—i.e., the hot gas product (at 1,000 °C) of the fuel cell could be used to generate steam to run a turbine and extract more power from heat energy. Overall efficiencies of 60 percent might be possible. Solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells A cell of this sort is built around an ion-conducting membrane such as Nafion (trademark for a perfluorosulfonic acid membrane). The electrodes are catalyzed carbon, and several construction alignments are feasible. Solid polymer electrolyte cells function well (as attested to by their performance in Gemini spacecraft), but cost estimates are high for the total system compared with the types described above. Engineering or electrode design improvements could change this disadvantage. Development of fuel cells The general concept of a fuel battery, or fuel cell, dates back to the early days of electrochemistry. British physicist William Grove used hydrogen and oxygen as fuels catalyzed on platinum electrodes in 1839. During the late 1880s two British chemists—Carl Langer and German-born Ludwig Mond—developed a fuel cell with a longer service life by employing a porous nonconductor to hold the electrolyte. It was subsequently found that a carbon base permitted the use of much less platinum, and the German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald proposed, as a substitute for heat-engine generators, electrochemical cells in which carbon would be oxidized to carbon dioxide by oxygen. During the early years of the 20th century, Fritz Haber and Walther H. Nernst in Germany and Edmond Bauer in France experimented with cells using a solid electrolyte. Limited success and high costs, however, suppressed interest in continuing developmental efforts. From 1932 until well after World War II, British engineer Francis Thomas Bacon and his coworkers at the University of Cambridge worked on creating practical hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells with an alkaline electrolyte. Research resulted in the invention of gas-diffusion electrodes in which the fuel gas on one side is effectively kept in controlled contact with an aqueous electrolyte on the other side. By mid-century O.K. Davtyan of the Soviet Union had published the results of experimental work on solid electrolytes for high-temperature fuel cells and for both high- and low-temperature alkaline electrolyte hydrogen-oxygen cells. The need for highly efficient and stable power supplies for space satellites and manned spacecraft created exciting new opportunities for fuel cell development during the 1950s and ’60s. Molten carbonate cells with magnesium oxide pressed against the electrodes were demonstrated by J.A.A. Ketelaar and G.H.J. Broers of the Netherlands, while the very thin Teflon-bonded, carbon-metal hybrid electrode was devised by other researchers. Many other technological advances, including the development of new materials, played a crucial role in the emergence of today’s practical fuel cells. Further improvements in electrode materials and construction, combined with the rising costs of fossil fuels, are expected to make fuel cells an increasingly attractive alternative power source, especially in Japan and other countries that have meagre nonrenewable energy resources. At the beginning of the 21st century, many electrical-equipment manufacturers were developing power-generation equipment based on fuel cell technology. The American military is funding development of small fuel cells for soldiers to carry in their backpacks in order to power various electronic devices, for powering small pilotless reconnaissance aircraft, and for powering robots to clear minefields.

No matter who you talk to, when you say this, you will not get the response you want, but also hurt your feelings At this creation meeting, lacrosse took part in the sharing of offline creation meeting for the first time in Shanghai station, about the way of reconciliation with her father. Cognitive upgrading points of this episode: 1. Growing up is finding misunderstandings At the Shanghai station of the offline meeting, we saw a girl sharing a story about her original family. When she grows up, her parents will still hurt her and control her with verbal violence. Heres what she shared: I heard Leng AI share how to tell her parents and how to do it in the meeting at Shanghai station, laches said. In fact, you have grown up, you have the ability to resist, but you still feel that you are the little girl in your heart.. This sentence makes me feel the same. I felt that I was not confident all the time. I didnt pay enough attention to what I said. Then I chose to talk to my father face to face during the new year. I said, why dont you always believe it? In fact, he just shows that he doesnt believe me, but in fact, he believes that I think he is used to that kind of language violence. Thank you for sharing. First of all, you talked to your father, and you got a very good new discovery. Growing up is finding misunderstandings Next, clear up some small misunderstandings. When we say this, its usually hard to get a good response. Because he is your father, maybe he really loves you, so he gives you a response. But if you do this with your boyfriend or someone else, its hard for you to respond. Just like we cant wait for a boat at the airport, you go to the wrong place and its hard to get the right result. Of course, growing up is the process of discovering misunderstandings and improving them. The first misunderstanding is always. How many times has he, and which time has he? How is he, how is he always? This is a big misunderstanding. Its a place to optimize. When we communicate something with a person, we need to be concrete, very specific. You can say, what did I do today, and whats the feedback you gave me, dont you believe me? You see, there are two optimization points in my description. The first is to get rid of you are always, that is, you come again, you are always like this, how are you? this type of statement is very easy to cause misunderstanding. Because it makes the other person feel that you are criticizing and blaming him. Second, you always dont believe me. This disbelief is also a misunderstanding. You havent confirmed it yet. How do you know he doesnt believe it? After you confirmed it, he told you that he believed it. So this disbelief is also your imagination. Many times, we live in misunderstanding and imagination. We live in a misty forest. There are many misunderstandings, many misunderstandings. You see youre sophisticating.. In fact, the other side was very confused. First, I didnt always and second, I didnt believe it. so he was also very ignorant. A proper statement would be what happened, I want to know if you dont believe me? This is an appropriate statement. But we usually pick up a knife, no matter how many times its three, seven, twenty-one. This is very bad. We should give each other a chance and ourselves a chance. Your father may want to be nice to you, but his parents havent taught him how to express himself or how to talk to you well. You think, if you had not listened to my lessons here, you would not have talked with him well, right? This is a process of change. You have to give him a chance to change, give him a chance to express. As your father, he should have the opportunity to be allowed to express whether he believes or not. Its like learning a new stroke. It turns out that if you only know dog paddle, if you want to learn freestyle seriously, you will find it very awkward. Every action is different from your original, but when you learn a new set of actions, you will. So what Im going to share with you is a medley. Theres a lot of mixing. Theres a mixture of various masters, such as John Gottman, who talk about how not to blame, who talk about emotions, who talk about Nonviolent Communication, and who have different schools. A former classmate shared: I told my son that my mother has never been a mother, and I dont know what a good mother is, so sometimes she does something that may make you feel bad. Im sorry. I hope you can point it out and let me learn how to be a good mother. At that time, my son was stunned, and then he hugged me and said, Mom, I love you. She went on to share and said, because I think of this matter when my mother hit me as a child, I have always hated it, but I think maybe she is also young, playful and impatient, and she has never been a mother, so I reconciled this matter. In fact, it is a very good thing for us to reach a settlement with our parents. You may be a mother for the first time, a father for the first time, a son for the first time, a daughter for the first time. Even we can say that we are not very experienced. Its really hard to be a human being, not to mention to do such a difficult task for the first time.

Step 1 Make a circle with at least 8 spokes, 1 for each area of life that has meaning to you at this time. Step 2 Put a DOT on each line to represent how close you are to your IDEAL in that area of your life at this time (closer to the edge is closer to your IDEAL) Step 3 Connect the DOTS. When everything is in balance you have a nice even line going all the way around, when out of balance you get an hour glass shape, that points out those areas that are least IDEAL.	<urn:uuid:3c60287d-7401-4db8-8f4f-69537be47dc8>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.019907891750335693, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9565631747245789, "url": "https://sites.google.com/view/awarenessprinciples/resources", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs8-220204546", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_08_of_10/part.854.parquet" }
Very well put together User Rating: 10 \| Tekken 6 PS3 This game seems like there is so much to it in the console versions. There seems to be a lot to unlock and they mainly focus on fighting, not going back unlocking characters and bios which is a good thing. The fighting element to it is a little different from the others but more improved, animations and detailing in the backgrounds are crazy flashy. The best part about this franchise is being a big king/armor king fan you have to go back and relearn all the new throw chains which is going to take some time plus they ALWAYS change the timing up on it to make things even more better. Yeah I've seen baek and the other kick attack guys do all these air combo chains but once you get down the parrying (either for your character or any other character) things will be squared off. King is very unmerciful against kick attacks and Armor King doesn't take too kind to people throwing jabs at him. Cant forget Paul either because he will just take you down to the floor every single time. Overall good game and as with fighters not much to go over but strategies and learning the new timing for certain moves. So let's get to it!, hope to see you all at the end of the week with tekken blisters online!.	<urn:uuid:566d5f8c-fed5-44e1-b5ef-96e86246801c>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.06239539384841919, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9699754118919373, "url": "https://www.gamespot.com/tekken-6/user-reviews/2200-83895/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs5-106155521", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_05_of_10/part.1036.parquet" }

Moreover, inhibition of CaMKII activity causes lysosomal alkalinization and enlargement, and impairs the degradation function of lysosomes, leading to autophagosome accumulation. Importantly, excessive autophagosome accumulation and autophagic degradation blocking are shown to play an important role in KN\93\enhanced\OS cell death. The synergistic anti\OS efficacy of KN\93 and nano\C60 is revealed within an OS\xenografted murine super model tiffany livingston further. The full total outcomes demonstrate that CaMKII inhibition, combined with the suppression of Solanesol autophagic degradation, presents a appealing technique for enhancing the antitumor efficiency of nano\C60. = 3. ** 0.01.

Inhibition of CaMKII Activity Enhances Nano\C60\Induced Cytotoxicity CaMKII activation continues to be suggested to market cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in Operating-system.29, 30 To judge the role of CaMKII in nano\C60\induced cytotoxicity, we Rabbit Polyclonal to USP32 employed KN\93, Solanesol one of Solanesol the most extensively used inhibitor for studying in vitro and in vivo functions of CaMKII.32 As shown in Body 2 A, KN\93 inhibited nano\C60\induced phosphorylation of CaMKII in 143B and MG63 cells significantly. In comparison to nano\C60 treatment by Solanesol itself, pretreatment of cells with KN\93 decreased 143B cell viability by approximately 25 further.13% (5 10?6 m KN\93) and 46.11% (10 10?6 m KN\93) (Determine ?(Figure2B).2B). Comparable results were observed in MG63 cells (Physique S3, Supporting Information). The cell death rate of 143B cells detected by Hoechst 33 342/propidium iodide (PI) staining exhibited that KN\93 enhanced nano\C60\induced 143B cell death by 30.55% (Figure ?(Figure2C).2C). These results demonstrated that combining KN\93 and nano\C60 treatments had a significant synergistic effect in OS cells.

To verify the function of CaMKII in nano\C60\treated Operating-system cells further, we utilized siRNA to silence CaMKII proteins expression (Body S4, Supporting Details). Set alongside the control siRNA group, 143B cells transfected with CaMKII\particular siRNA accompanied by nano\C60 treatment exhibited a definite reduction in cell viability (Body ?(Figure2D)2D) and a rise in cell loss of life (Figure ?(Figure22E). Collectively, the outcomes above confirmed that nano\C60\induced CaMKII activity played a protecting part in OS cell fate.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a multifactorial cardiopulmonary disease characterized by an elevation of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which can lead to right ventricular (RV) failure, multi-organ dysfunction, and ultimately to premature death Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a multifactorial cardiopulmonary disease characterized by an elevation of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which can lead to right ventricular (RV) failure, multi-organ dysfunction, and ultimately to premature death. dysfunction (7). Open in a separate window Figure 1 Pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. PAH is associated with vascular and cardiac remodeling. In PAH, vascular remodeling is characterized by smooth muscle and endothelial cell dysfunction. Indeed, both cell types contribute to muscularization, obstruction, and constriction of distal pulmonary arteries (PAs) which progressively increase the vascular resistance to induce right ventricle (RV) hypertrophy and eventually RV dysfunction. Representative photos from the vascular redesigning in pulmonary arterioles have already been previously released by Dr Hadri and collaborators (185). PAH, pulmonary arterial hypertension; Rolapitant cost PASMC, pulmonary artery soft muscle tissue cells; PAEC, pulmonary artery endothelial cell. The Globe Health Firm classifies PH into five organizations predicated on the root etiology (8) (Fig. 2). Group 1 (PAH) identifies idiopathic or inherited PAH, toxins or drug induced, connective cells and heart illnesses, human immunodeficiency pathogen disease, portal hypertension, congenital cells and center disorders, schistosomiasis, persistent hemolytic anemia, pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, and PH from the newborn (8). The word PH can be used CD69 for all your additional sets of the classification: Rolapitant cost group 2, 3, 4, and 5. Remaining heart-associated illnesses are connected with group 2 (8). Group 3 can be connected with lung illnesses such as for example chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and rest apnea (8). Group 4 builds up from thromboembolic illnesses (8). Group 5 happens in response to different disorders linked to sarcoid and additional uncommon disorders including bloodstream and metabolic disorders (8). PAH is recognized as a uncommon lung disease and it is approximated to affect around 15C60 individuals per million inhabitants. Open in another window Shape 2 Up to date classification of pulmonary hypertension. The global world Health Organization classifies PH into five groups predicated on the underlying etiology. Group I contains PAH. Group II identifies PH from remaining sided cardiovascular disease. Group III identifies PH due to chronic hypoxia lung disease. Group IV can be connected with chronic bloodstream clots, and Group V contains all other types of PH connected with unclear multifactorial systems such as for example sarcoidosis and hematological disorders. A lot of the current therapies for dealing with PH focus on individuals with WHO group I PAH mainly, with a substantial pre-capillary component (9). Particular current PAH treatment strategies focus on mainly three main pathways: Prostacyclin, NO signaling, and Endothelin (ET) receptor; and get into four classes: Prostacyclin analogues and receptor agonists, Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, ET-receptor antagonists (Period), and cGMP activators (10). Prostacyclin (also known as prostaglandin I2 or PGI2) can be a prostaglandin member, which acts as a powerful platelet-aggregating and vasodilator inhibitor. Clinical studies show that constant administration of the artificial prostacyclin analog, called Epoprostenol, improved the success and exercise capability in individuals with WHO Group I PAH by sustaining the RV function but didn’t avoid the vascular redesigning (11). Endothelial nitric oxide (NO) can be synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and works as a robust vasodilator of pulmonary vessels (12). Inhalation of NO shows beneficial results in pediatric Rolapitant cost instances of PAH. Nevertheless, inhaled NO continues to be an expensive strategy, rather than all patients react to this therapy. Moreover, rapid withdrawal of inhaled NO therapy can also have deleterious effects and drastically increase pulmonary pressure. Finally, ET-1 is secreted by the vascular endothelial cells and potentiates vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling in lungs (13). While the dual.

Glossy eyed he looks to the window where daylight spangles the green growth of leaves across the parking lot. The early morning birds mock him and he rolls over to go to sleep, waiting for relief from the troubles of his life, waiting for the right moment to hit the big time in a world where everyone else has done what’s already done. The sunshine has been extolled, the games have been made, the thoughts already thunk, nothing remains for him. His hobbies remain as augmented jewels in his crown, the sweat on his forehead is for his garden alone and his misplaced dreams stalk the fields of his mind like whistling stone titans in the dark rain. Were they dreams or expectations? All the while a calm voice eternally tells him, too softly to surmount the churning wash of intricate internet data and jabbering movies and maddening music, and fear. It is too soft to hear until he quiets his mind, faces his feelings like a stalwart rock in the ocean surf. Only when he lets the ride play out can he hear her in his mind… And he finds a kind of peace. A small kernel of what cannot be touched, cannot be beaten down, will not yield to the pounding waves, the moving birds, the thunk thoughts. Each day he finds it harder to find, each day the weeds grow taller and he forgets to make the journey to the place of purity where the titans never walked. And in clarity like a gong, his body relaxes and he gets out of bed and makes coffee. With a sigh she opened the screen and the lights dazzled across her face. Entering through the pathway into another world. A place of magic or intensity, life, and drama. Not like reality. Somehow reality was less vibrant. Looking around all of the surfaces and corners of her apartment, the usual tree outside by the stoop where she would suck down a cigarette to bookend experiences. None of it penetrated her. Other people were flat unchanging beings except by location. Somehow all of her friends just felt like a far away collection of vague faces in the haze of a humming backdrop to it all. So she spent her time watching videos, collecting more and more information from the little box who she began to think of as more of a friend. Her and her computer. “Hey that could be a show!” she’d think, nothing about a computer and a girl as romping friends could be bad. They could talk about memes together and joke about how in those fleeting moments where the girl was an artist, that her self–confidence was a wreck and she was better off just getting back on youtube or whatever. The thought circled around and she almost got up to write it down but then she really wanted to see how the finale would end. The memory of the her and her computer friend faded until it was unreal, faded into the humming blur where all her friends lived along with the collection of a million other possible experiences. Hours between walls and watching the glowing rectangle. As sleep gnawed at her eyes and she could feel herself wasting away. Still she managed to raise a finger and tap for one more hit. Death would dawn on her as season six was in its climax. “I only get one life.” the thought said to her. But it seemed so wrong. How could she only get one life when she had experienced so many lives. Even history in grade school covered a vast swathe of lives. Literature, movies, comics, all worlds to enter, to jump into. ONE life? that’s absurd. But the pang of mortality would return as she watched the screen unblinking. “This is it, I’m using this time right now.” she shook her head and went back to the world, hoping, wishing that the lights could just make her forget who she was, what she was, and what she knew. she wanted to fade into this make believe world that some caffeinated room of writers had made piecemeal for some executive who cut half of it out and sent it off to a social coordinator to get “sharability” or whatever the FUCK they call it. She was scared. And fear drove her to seek to forget as a matter of course. Why confront a fear you can do nothing about? How do you stop the time from slipping away? How do you keep from dying? You act like you want it. You become lethargic. It was always amazing how hours could tick by. re-runs, re-watching, re blogging, re-entering the world of these people who had so much more beyond the surface level. She smiled at the jokes, wrapped herself in comfort, while the endless cavalcade of stimulus lulled her further and further away from herself. She watched and she forgot to live until all the world felt like one great watching. It was all one big show and everyone was always on it. but it was real. It’s over now, go click on something else.

Good & Evil Rush tomorrow So for a while I’ve been working on this comic, It involves two foxes who may or may not be representing Yin and Yang as they try to deal with themselves and the world around them in parallel adventures. The vast majority is not online but I do have a website where I plan to rectify that: Tomorrow from 4:00pm to some time later (eastern US time) I’m going to be uploading a new page every half hour. If you would like to see it from the beginning here’s the link: If you enjoy my writing, this comic is little more than a visual story, and I mean that because you need to have an open mind when looking at my drawings 😛 If you like Consider Subtlety please also follow Good and Evil. You wont be disappointed. Grey is my heart and grey is my mind, grey is my view on days gone by. A mist of vapid mystery. Each moment is a grey droplet swirling around me grey in color, grey in emotion, grey in impact I age like a tree among them. Lines and creases deepening into my animal form Growths and hair sprouting The pain and joy mixing in like scars. I am a concoction, a chemical, a mist among mist. All that I can grasp is grey, all I am is grey the mist disperses me. Yet just beyond my reach, in the next hour, in the next day is the phantasm of all simple color and vibrancy I am chasing it like childhood across the vapid land And as the mist grows heavier Like a tree I will stand. And reach my fading arms towards the sky beyond the clouds. . <—scifi serial story. <—-Maybe another poem.	<urn:uuid:0423f672-3e16-4e04-ae5d-9c5c3a5236f0>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.15223658084869385, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9645959734916687, "url": "https://jvfpp.wordpress.com/tag/mind/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs1-130202146", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_01_of_10/part.406.parquet" }
Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Do you believe him? Scot Young on the Rack Britain's most acrimonious divorce continues. Scot Young is facing some tough questions. Is he bankrupt or is he a liar hiding vast wealth? Whatever he appears too clever for his own good. As reported in the The Telegraph he is facing this interrogation due to financial irregularities. What is unusual: 1. He owes people vast sums of money but they are supporting him financially. 2. Seems odd that they don't therefore lend or give him some money for legal representation. 3. He is accused of faking his own bankruptcy. 4. His wife has uncovered what appears confidential documents and is able to rely on them. 5. He gave his daughter an old laptop. Even if he was broke this does not make sense. 6. His business connections and friends are being made to give evidence. His wife is prepared to settle for £300 million and her legal fees paid. Is that a touch greedy maybe? What message does this case give to wealthy individuals contemplating marriage? How will they extract the money from Mr Young even if he is found to be lying? He has already shown that he is prepared to go to prison. What if he is not lying? How will his wife's lawyers get paid? Not sure anyone will be worrying about them but the whole case appears a gamble from both sides.

You are here We all tested positive… dragonfly878's picture ... DH, DD2, SS14 and I all tested positive for COVID... so not only did we have him last weekend, we will have him this weekend and then the following weekend as we have a 5-2-2-5 schedule. I live for the moments when this kid is at his moms house. dragonfly878's picture Thanks... I just needed to get that out before I quite literally lost my mind.... CLove's picture There goes the weekend! Hope you beat this quickly. TheAccidentalSM's picture Sounds like hell. Can you just stay in bed for most of the time since you are ill? missgingersnap2021's picture Trust me I know how you feel. I just had to see SD the past 2 weekends in a row and tomorrow starts the 3 weekend. Can you at least make it so when he is over covid he can do a 3 weekend in a row stint at BMs? dragonfly878's picture It's ROUGH. Sorry you went through it, too. No, we have a rule with BM where we don't swap out time... she's HC so it's really in place to prevent her from constantly flip flopping. justmakingthebest's picture I mean, if you can go back to work in 5 days after a positive test now, SS should go home! dragonfly878's picture Yes, he will go back after 5 days (for two days with her- then it's our weekend again). BM was pushing for 14 but we told her we would be following the CDC. Ashleytenorio17's picture Omg that sucks! That is like my worse fear lol! I hope you all recover fast and don't get real sick!	<urn:uuid:68369403-2973-44b1-b9f9-728d5a02eb6a>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.3034842610359192, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9465455412864685, "url": "https://www.steptalk.org/blog/dragonfly878/we-all-tested-positive%E2%80%A6-273810", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs2-278921057", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_02_of_10/part.193.parquet" }
Thursday, October 31, 2013 Fun with math I've been studying visual mathematics (because patterns in nature, fractals, golden ratio, blah blah, etc etc). If I ignore all the squiggly numbers and formulas, and stick to looking at the pictures of examples, it begins to makes perfect sense. I'm still terrible at math.

Introduction to Exploit Development - Buffer Overflows - Part 1 Hello everyone. This two part series intends to lay a foundation on what Exploit Development is and why learning it is extremely valuable for a Security Enthusiast. I myself am just starting on this journey and I'll try to explain the concepts to my best. As my knowledge on the subject grows, I'll upload new blogs on the topic and add changes in this blog if necessary. What is Exploit Development? We all hear about new exploits being found on a day to day basis everywhere. How do you think those exploits are being found? Security researches test softwares and find vulnerabilities. Then, they try to take advantage of the vulnerability in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior to occur, aka, exploits. These exploits can be a sequence of commands or a piece of code or a chunk of data. The process of getting from finding a vulnerability to writing an actual exploit for it is called Exploit Development. Why should anyone learn Exploit Dev. ? As security researchers, we love the idea of breaking into things. That is on of the main goals in the domain. Learning to find new vulnerabilities and developing exploits for it is the definition of breaking into stuff. Being the first one to break something gives immense pleasure and if the exploit is big, a huge amount of respect and possibly money too. There are millions of new code uploaded to the internet daily and new exploits for them are being uploaded to websites like exploit.db by both individual researchers and companies alike. So there is a huge opportunity for you to learn a new and valuable skill and contribute to the wider internet. Exploits development is a skill that can't be taught. It must be learned practically. Let's see one example. Disclaimer: The software I'm about to test is very old and intentionally vulnerable. In the real world, it would more difficult and different methods might be needed to find the vulnerabilities. Required Installations: 1) Vulnserver - It is a vulnerable TCP server. We will be exploiting one of the vulnerabilities in it. It usually runs on port 9999. 2) Immunity Debugger - It is a debugging tool used for malware analysis, exploit writing and reverse engineering binary files. In this example, we will use it to see how a buffer overflow (There is an excellent blog written by Hemang Ahuja on buffer overflow here. Check it out if you want to know more about it) occurs by analyzing the registers, hex values, memory addresses, etc. 3) A Windows machine (Windows 7 or newer) - The above mentioned softwares are all Windows based. You can try to run them on Linux using Wine, but it would be much easier to just use a Windows machine. It can a Virtual Machine (recommended, since you are going to run a vulnerable software) or a real machine. 4) Any programming language to write code. I'm using Python3 here. First open Vulnserver in your Windows machine and let it run in the background. Then open Immunity Debugger and go to "File" -> "Attach" and attach the Vulnserver running in the background. You should get a screen something like this: This is the current process going on the Vulnserver. It is paused for now and we can resume it by pressing the "Play" button at the top. But first let us understand what these different blocks are. 1) Disassembly: This block contains memory addresses, instruction operation code and the assembly code which is being executed. 2) Registers: This block shows all the CPU's registers and the values stored in them. Registers are one of the most important part/concept in any CPU. It also displays the flags (an indicator when something important has happened) used. 3) Dump: This block displays the hex view of the entire program, i.e, hex dump. 4) Stack: This block displays the location of ESP (stack pointer register) at the top and the addresses, data stored in the addresses and any comments in the subsequent rows. OK. What now? Now get to your attacker machine and connect to Vulnserver. To do that, you should have the victim machine's IP address. You can find it by typing "ipconfig" in the victim machine's CMD or by doing an ARP scan on your attacker machine. Now connect to Vulnserver using the netcat command. How to find the vulnerability? Virtually all the time, a vulnerability arises because of any kind of user interaction with the software. In this case, the Vulnserver accepts user inputs as commands and the list of valid commands are listed when you type "HELP". We are now going to check if we can find a buffer overflow vulnerability in any of these commands. A buffer overflow vulnerability happens when the size of input data is bigger than the buffer it has been provided or allocated, allowing it to "overflow" to other parts of the memory which may or may not have been properly secured. To find which command is vulnerable to buffer overflow, we have to SPIKE them. The next part of this series will be on SPIKEing and how to find and develop the exploit for the buffer overflow vulnerability. Stay tuned for it.

Property Investment for Beginners – IGrow Wealth Investments Property Investment South Africa Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:04:48 +0000 en-US hourly 1 6 Things To Consider Before Investing Wed, 18 Jan 2017 05:30:23 +0000 Read More »]]> Weigh up the pros and cons Sourced from: Reimag – ]]> 0 How to Buy your First Home Wed, 17 Jun 2015 13:40:04 +0000 What to be aware of when buying your first home Buying a house is the first step on the property ladder. This will the biggest investment you will ever make but people often incorrectly make this important decision based on emotion. Firstly, check out your credit score and your affordability. Determine your credit status because this determines your risk for the bank and your risk determines your interest rate. Your credit score will let you know how much negotiation power you will have with the bank manager in the home loans department at the bank. Then, find out your buying power. The banks normally look at 30% of your income. However, if you have too much debt the bank will lower your interest rate which will negatively affect your affordability. This is all a direct contrast to what the National Credit Act prescribes. To work out how much your re-payments will be divide or multiply your income by 30%. That is your affordability test. You are looking at your credit profile and affordability test to see whether you will be able to afford the deposit. This helps you to improve your credit profile and your subsequent risk to the the bank which can help you negotiate a lower interest rate.Buying a home is a long process and does not take place overnight. Make sure a professional can assit you to secure your new home and determine your timeline to prevent any delays. The normal timeline of events before you buy your home include: 1. You submit an offer to the seller 2. The seller accepts the offer in about three days. 3. You get all your paperwork together such as bank statements, proof of income etc. which gets sent either to a bond consultant or directly to the bank. 4. It takes 10-21 days to get your bond approved. 5. It takes another 14 days to get the instructions about the bond sent to the attorney. The bond attorney and the transfer attorney will work together. In that time, they have to prepare your transfer documents, apply to the Municipality for rates and taxes and they have got to get your bond documents signed. 6. Then, they have to send it back to the bank again. The bank will have a lead time of six-10 days to ensure that all the paperwork is in place. There is also a cancellation attorney involved because they have to attend to the cancellation of an existing bond of a seller. 7. This all goes to the Deeds Office which has a turnaround time of about 10-14 days. Now you are already looking at a total of 62 days, which about four months ago when you first submitted the offer to purchase the property and made an offer to move in by the 1st of the month, you were not aware of the following delays. Rather provide for a specific date when you are moving. ]]> 0 It’s never too early to start investing! Thu, 28 May 2015 05:49:56 +0000 Responsibilities are like leaves on a tree, the more the tree grows the more leaves it gets. When we were kids, we would have had hardly any responsibilities or let’s. As the time passes by and we grew older and become independent, with branches we get our leaves too.Therefore now is the time you need to now ask yourself some questions. • Are you ready to take on these responsibilities? • Are you well prepared or armed enough to successfully take care of those responsibilities?In this phase of life we somehow conveniently ignore the importance of savings. Most of us think that it is too early to start thinking of investing… So if you haven’t, then my friend you are already late. Through this article we intend to not just help you understand the importance of investing but also show you that it doesn’t take much effort to plan it prudently. Remember the rule 1. Of investing – One should start investing the day you get your first pay cheque. 3 steps to start investing 1. Determine your financial goals 2. Do your financial planning 3. Decide your asset allocation 1.Determine your financial goals Every investment has to link with a financial goal. May it be further studies you wish to pursue abroad or your marriage or your retirement. The tenure of your goal will determine which asset class you will invest you’re hard earned money. If your financial goal is short term than you will ideally have to invest in debt schemes which tend to have considerably low risk. However if your financial goal is long term then you will ideally have to invest in equity, as equities tend to give higher returns with higher risk over a long term period. 2. Do your financial planning Before starting any investments, it is always advisable to have a plan in place. A proper plan will help you look at investments with a long term view. You need to invest with a financial plan in mind that will help you fulfill your future needs. An investment plan will also help you determine your risk appetite. Your risk appetite will decide which investment option you need to opt for. Generally, at your age the risk appetite is more as you have less responsibility. It is therefore advised to invest more share of your money in equities through mutual funds. 3. Decide your asset allocation Like breathing is for living, asset allocation is for investments. Yup, it’s that important. The importance of asset allocation is such that it eventually determines if you would be able to fulfill your financial goals. Asset Allocation will help you divide your investments among the different asset classes in a way that makes sense for them. In fact, the right asset allocation can help you maintain your confidence through economic ups and downs and may even increase your potential for better returns over time. Keep in mind that neither diversification nor asset allocation ensures a profit or guarantees against loss. So, take time out and give your investments priority. It is also very important for you to understand the risk that is involved in investing, including the risk of loss and does not ensure profit. Moreover, while we would generally say ‘It’s never too late to start investing’ for you my friend we would rather say ‘It’s never too early to start investing’. To clearly understand the risks associated with each investment option they can consult a financial advisor.

Pension Fund Your company works with you to save for retirement and they even match your savings. A pension fund is normally instituted by the company that you work for. The bigger the company the more they will invest into your pension. The company puts away a percentage and you put away a percentage into your pension fund. This is normally 5% – 7.5% and the company will do the same. This percentage, however, can be changed by your company from time to time. However, the company is not obligated to match the amount that you put in every month. It is a voluntary thing that when the company decides whether they are setting up a pension fund they decide how much they want to put in. Nobody can beat time in the market spent saving. The earlier you start putting money away the better. Save when you are young and you will reap the rewards when you are older. 2. Retirement Annuity You save for retirement yourself. It is good for entrepreneurs. Parents can take out a retirement annuity for their children with a minimum premium of R200 a month. You can even start saving once your child is born. 3. Provident Fund The company saves for retirement for you and you do not have to contribute anything. Death and disability cover can be added to both pension and provident funds.

Are they fake Like if this guide is helpful I was viewing north face clothing, and there was a lot of gear for sale which said new without tags ! All by the same seller and i thought why no tags if you have so many new items ?I e mailed the seller and had no reply ? I would not pay 50 pounds plus for clothing without tags. If these items were brand new it would only be the odd 1 without a tag .So if you see anything with no tags it has either been warn or a second , or the manufacture didn't bother to tag them,or are they fake? no tag Explore more guides	<urn:uuid:a436526b-95c5-4826-b5d3-6628d13c9c7f>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.2701501250267029, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9543309807777405, "url": "http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Are-they-fake-/10000000009069076/g.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs6-391955664", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_06_of_10/part.1057.parquet" }
Why Biden’s betting unemployment will stay low for now By Robert Romano Today, the U.S. unemployment rate ticked down to a 50-year low of 3.5 percent as 179,000 more Americans were employed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ household survey. After today, there will only be three more unemployment reports before the Nov. 8 Congressional midterms: Sept. 2, Oct. 7 and Nov. 4. President Joe Biden — who said the day consecutive quarterly negative growth numbers in the Gross Domestic Product were reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis that “that doesn’t sound like a recession to me” — is betting at least the jobs reports won’t be that bad between now and Election Day. So far, he’s not wrong. To be sure, labor markets are already feeling the effects of the ongoing supply crisis and production shortfall following Covid that has contributed alongside a $6 trillion injection of dollars by the federal government and Federal Reserve to the current bout of 9.1 percent consumer inflation. In the household survey in April and June, both posted respective jobs losses of about 300,000 apiece, which was slightly offset by a 300,000 gain in those reporting they were employed in May, and now the 179,000 gain in July. So far, even as the economy has been overheating, labor markets are spare with still more than 10.7 million jobs openings, but that number has been dropping somewhat precipitously the past few months, down 1.1 million from its peak in March. It won’t be so bad before the election, and afterward he’s also shrewdly betting there’s enough runway between Nov. 2022 and Nov. 2024 to get the economy back off the ground before voter attitudes set in for the presidential cycle, which historically is tougher for the opposition party to win if the incumbent party is in its first term. So, what’s Biden thinking? It worked for Ronald Reagan, who suffered some losses in the 1982 Congressional midterms amid a massive recession that saw 10.8 percent unemployment, and went on to easily win a 49-state sweep in the 1984 presidential election as the economy was already rebounding. It’s a very rosy scenario. The risk is Biden’s “not a recession” narrative will ultimately sound out of touch with Americans on their most pressing issue: the health of the U.S. economy following Covid, with the global supply crisis in food, energy, paper and technology and crushing inflation. Even without joblessness, the misery index (inflation plus unemployment) is the highest since the Great Recession. It doesn’t help that Biden and the Democratic-led Congress — along with left-wing corporations — are simultaneously attempting via the budget reconciliation bill to bring about a green utopia via hundreds of billions of dollars subsidies for wind, solar and electric vehicles, all the while levying tens of billions of dollars of carbon taxes on oil, coal and natural gas. Another risk is a shallow recession now might also boomerang into continued high inflation, continued supply crisis problems, labor shortages and production shortfalls, causing the economy to overheat much more rapidly. The same thing happened in the 1970s and 1980s which saw four successive recessions, each worse than the last, because the inflation was not controlled. This is the second recession in just the past three years, offering an idea of just how quickly the economy overshot following the Covid spendathon and economic lockdowns after businesses reopened sooner than thought. The 25 million jobs that were lost in the blink of an eye in April 2020 are nearly all recovered now, although still not technically greater than its Feb. 2020 pre-Covid peak of 158.8 million in BLS’ household survey, despite the working age population of 16-to-64-year-olds increasing by almost 1.1 million. In addition, 239,000 Americans who were unemployed simply left the labor force as the not in labor force number crept up over 100 million again. This is what peak employment looks like. It’s a lot like being on top of the rollercoaster. Enjoy the view, Mr. President. The post Why Biden’s betting unemployment will stay low for now appeared first on Daily Torch.

Difference between revisions of "Contributions:NIDAQLogger" From BCI2000 Wiki Jump to: navigation, search Line 4: Line 4: The file(s) should be in the following directory: The file(s) should be in the following directory: Latest revision as of 12:50, 6 May 2011 National Instruments Data Acquisition Module The file(s) should be in the following directory: http://www.bci2000.org/svn/trunk/src/contrib/SignalSource/NIDAQ-MX/NIDAQ-Logging/ Justin Renga (justin.renga@gmail.com) Version History Source Code Revisions • Initial development: -- • Tested under: -- • Known to compile under: -- • Broken since: -- The NIDAQLogger has been tested with the USB-6009 and PCI-6024E National Instruments boards at sampling rates up to and including 4096Hz, with sample block sizes up to and including 1024 samples/block. Both devices were running under DAQmx driver version 8.9.5 . Known Issues There are a couple of known issues with the NIDAQLogger that are listed below: • Occasional "glitching" may occur : the condition known as "glitching" is when some data gets swapped with slightly older data, producing a result that looks wrong. • The NIDAQLogger, when coupled with the NIDAQmx Source Module, does not currently work at sampling rates above 8192Hz. • Poor results may occur if the NIDAQLogger is used within 5 minutes of starting the BCI2000 computer up. Functional Description Acquires signals using National Instruments Data Acquisition boards, other devices, and the computer. Device(s) must be connected to computer beforehand. Adding and Compiling To add and compile the NIDAQLogger module, make sure the latest NIDAQ MX drivers are installed on your computer. When that is done, go into the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\ folder. Inside are two folders: lib and include. The lib folder will contain the NIDAQmx.lib file (inside of the folder msvc). Copy that into the project's library folder. Inside of the include folder is the NIDAQmx.h file, which contains the function prototypes needed to use the NIDAQLogger module. Move this file into the project's include folder. Make sure the project links the new .lib file, and that the NIDAQLogger.h and NIDAQLogger.cpp files include the NIDAQmx.h file correctly. The NIDAQLogger should now be able to compile normally. Command Line Parameters Initializing NIDAQLogger To begin using the NIDAQLogger module, use the --LogNIDAQin flag, and set it equal to 1. To activate device(s) for specific functions, use the following flags: • --LogDigiIn (for digital input) • --LogAnaIn (for analog input) The format for the inputs for the above flags is as follows: [flag]="[device name]-[port specification]" Note that if --LogNIDAQ is used, that at least one of the two above flags MUST be used. Device Specification The device name (usually) is to be written as "Dev1" or "Dev2" (without the ""). Afterwards, use a - to indicate the device name is finished. If the device number is unclear, run the program with the --LogNIDAQin flag activated, and look at the Operator Log. The devices (along with their number) will be listed. Port Specifications There are two acceptable states that the user can specify for each port: • 0 - this indicates the port is INACTIVE. • 1 - this indicates the port is ACTIVE Important: If both the NIDAQLogger and the NIDAQFilter (see Contributions:NIDAQFilter) are being used, and both are using the digital lines on the same device, make sure that any port that is being referenced in a parameter is referenced only once. One port cannot use both digital input and digital output functionality, and will cause BCI2000 to throw an error, saying that the line is RESERVED. Let's assume that the user wants to use one device for both analog and digital input. The device has 8 Analog Input ports and 12 Digital I/O ports. The user also wants to use the 3rd and 4th analog input ports, and the 4th and 10th digital ports for digital input. The user needs to use 3 flags to accomplish this: • --LogNIDAQin=1 -> This flag activates the NIDAQLogger for use. • --LogDigiIn="Dev1-000100000100" -> This flag indicates that the user wants to use digital I/O. "Dev1" is the name of the device connected to the computer that she wants to use. 0001000000100 indicates that the user wants ports 4 and 10 (the 1's) as ACTIVE. • --LogAnaIn="Dev1-00011000" -> This flag indicates that she wants to use analog output. "Dev1" is the name of the device connected to the computer that she wants to use. 00011000 indicates that she wants to the use ports 3 and 4 on analog input. The full command (assuming she uses this with SignalGenerator.exe) that the user would use is the following: SignalGenerator.exe --LogNIDAQin=1 --LogDigiIn="Dev1-000100000100" --LogAnaIn="Dev1-00011000" BCI2000 Parameters There are two possible parameters that the user will be able to use. They are outlined below: • #IVRanges - the available voltage ranges for analog input for the given device (where # will be replaced by the device name) • This parameter will only be enabled if the --LogAnaIn flag is being used. • #InSampleRate - the sampling rate for the NIDAQLogger • This parameter will be here if the --LogNIDAQ flag is being used. The parameters will be located under the Source tab, in the section labeled NILogger. The states that are available are dependent on the port specifications declared in the command line parameters. The format for the states is the following: • The first # refers to the device number. • The second # refers to the line number (starting at 0). • The [A:D] denotes if the state refers to an analog (A) or a digital (D) channel. For example, if the command parameters look like this: the states that will be created are the following: NIDev1DINPUT3 NIDev1DINPUT9 NIDev1AINPUT0 NIDev1AINPUT2 NIDev1AINPUT3 Acquired Data The data (analog) that is acquired by the device is translated to make sure that all of the data will fit inside of the state's parameters. Due to this fact, the data needs to be translated back in order to return it to units of milliVolts (mV). This can be done by subtracting the data by (2000*upper voltage bound). For example, if the data was logged with the range -10V to 10V, then the data must be subtracted by 20,000.	<urn:uuid:71a05892-a80b-4fcb-a469-5f4540172ebf>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.036864638328552246, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.8344488143920898, "url": "https://www.bci2000.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Contributions:NIDAQLogger&diff=next&oldid=6041", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs10-344694987", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_10_of_10/part.939.parquet" }
Caleb Swanigan Becoming a boilmakeR Caleb Swanigan grew up with a bad childhood. He had 5 siblings, a cocain addict for a dad, and a mom who lived off food stamps and welfare checks. No one wanted to help him succeed because they either didn't want to waste their time or they literally couldn't because of their income. Going into his eighth grade year he stood 6'2" and weighed 360 pounds. Courageous Act His brother approached him one day and asked what he wanted to do with his life. Caleb said he wanted to be a basketball player. His brother said there's no way that that's possible unless he meets with a guy named Roosevelt Barnes. Swanigan didn't want to meet with Barnes but he knew that was the only way to the league. Working with Barnes trimmed him to a 6'9" 250 pound phenom who absolutely destroys people on the court. He is now a starter at the university of Purdue and averages 18.8 PPG, 12.9 RPG, and 2.9 APG. Caleb Swanigan earned the main story in this news broadcast. Caleb Swanigan grew up as "Biggie" in his schooling system. The summer before his eighth grade year he was 6'2" 360 pounds sleeping in homeless. He had 5 siblings, a cocaine addict for a dad, and his mom was living off welfare checks and food stamps. He wanted to change his life but he knew the help couldn't come from them. His brother then approached him and asked what he wanted to be. This is when his life started to change. His father passed away due to diabetes and drug related problems. He worked days and nights with Barnes and was trimmed to a 6'9" 250 pound beast on the court. He is now the star player the Purdue Boilmakers. He has plans of going big in the league and giving a lot of his money from his paycheck back to his mother and siblings.

Share text was copied to your clipboard. Now you can paste it wherever you'd like. March 4 Lend context to your correspondence. Quick, think of the worst way to start a virtual chat. You might think of 'Hey', or 'Are you free?', or 'Got a sec?', or the perhaps-sinister 'We need to talk.' Not following this opening with context can induce anxiety, especially if it's between a supervisor and employee. Sometimes context is implied, if you were just corresponding with the person in a meeting. If it's out of the blue, add some context like this: "Hey, you have a sec to talk about the contract issues?" The recipient now knows what you want to talk about, and that can help them decide if they're prepared (or have time) to continue the conversation.	<urn:uuid:387234fa-4cbb-4148-8c65-fb9ef38bb468>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.9330629706382751, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9653787016868591, "url": "https://artofworkingremotely.com/365-distributed-work-tips/2021/march/4/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-426576655", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.1249.parquet" }
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) A Pakistani court on Tuesday indicted former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf on murder charges in connection with the 2007 assassination of iconic Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, deepening the fall of a once-powerful figure who returned to the country this year to make a political comeback. The retired general was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitation for murder, said prosecutor Chaudhry Muhammed Azhar. He did not specify what exactly Musharraf was accused of doing but prosecutors have previously accused him of failing to provide enough protection to Bhutto. Under Pakistan's legal system he had previously been arrested on accusations he played a role in the assassination but Tuesday's legal proceedings mark the first time the government has formally charged him with a specific crime in Bhutto's slaying. The former army commando appeared in person during the brief morning hearing Tuesday and pleaded not guilty, said Afshan Adil, a member of Musharraf's legal team. Bhutto was killed in 2007 during a gun and bomb attack at a rally in the city of Rawalpindi, the sister city to the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. The daughter of former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was executed in 1977 after being deposed in a coup, she was respected in Pakistan for her political commitment she was jailed multiple times and her condemnation of militancy and support for Pakistan's poor. But her terms were marred by accusations of widespread corruption against both her and her husband. A 2010 U.N. report on the circumstances surrounding her death was highly critical of steps taken by investigators, including the hosing down of the crime scene, the failure to perform an autopsy and their media conference the day after in which they blamed a Taliban commander. The report also said Musharraf failed to make serious efforts to ensure Bhutto's safety. His supporters have dismissed the report's findings.	<urn:uuid:e485827f-f0e0-4eda-b48b-690d261e5861>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.09923529624938965, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9835003018379211, "url": "http://www.grahamleader.com/national-news/ci_23897279", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs2-395403187", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_02_of_10/part.596.parquet" }

Finally, we would like to thank our parents and friends for boosting our morale. This is to certify that the project titled ‘Cell Phone Detector’ was undertaken UNIVERSITY OF DELHI and implemented by us in the Electronics Laboratory. This work has not been submitted anywhere earlier, partially or Shashank Nagar B. Sc (H) Electronics 3rd Semester Dr. Anju Agarwal Ms. Gauri Ghai Mentor Mentor Department of Electronics Department of Electronics Cell phones have become an integral part of today’s world. While it is important for people to stay connected with each other, however there needs to be a cap on the usage of mobiles. Over usage of cell phones can lead to security and health risks. It also leads to inefficiency at workplace and educational institutes due to lack of concentration of the user. The primary aim of the project is to develop a simple and low cost cell phone detector. This device is capable of sensing presence of cell phone in close range. It can also detect SMS. This device is compact and simple to use. Cell phones have become primary source of communication today. They are not only used for communication via short messaging service (SMS), calls, emails and internet, but also for advanced applications such as remote health monitoring systems and security systems. Despite the advantages enjoyed by these advancements in mobile technology, there are threats that have been posed by their usage. Company data mining has been a big threat in the industry, where employees are able to access sensitive company information and share with the competitors. This led to the design and development of cell phone detectors which can be used in places where cell phone communication is prohibited or Criminal activities and attempted escape incidents have been organized by inmates in correctional facilities through the use of mobile phones. Life support machines in hospitals are also sensitive to the use of mobile phones. The use of mobile phones in such a facility leads to adverse repercussions to the life of the individual whose life depends on the proper functioning of the machines. This device can also find use at places where the use of mobile phones can either lead to failure of sensitive machines or is a nuisance such as petrol stations, airplanes, conference halls, examination halls, worship centers, etc. Cell phones have become an important part of modern lifestyle in today’s world. Earlier, the primary purpose of mobile phone was to enable individual to stay connected with others. However with the advancement in technology it has also become a leading source of entertainment. Though social media applications provide an individual to express themselves, however due to over usage these applications become a major source of distraction. The availability of online television and games also contribute in the distracted behavior of individuals. This could cause distraction at work place and educational institutes, meetings, classrooms and during examination. The effectiveness of cell phone detectors is that they continually scan for the presence and usage of the cell phone and notify the security personnel. The circuit has been designed to detect the presence of a mobile phone in close proximity. An LED or a buzzer can be used to indicate the presence of mobile frequency of mobile phones ranges from 0.8 to 2.5 GHz. Thus Op-amp IC capacitor of 100uF connected between its inverting and non-inverting inputs. The output CMOS transistor is capable of varying the output voltage within 10 mV of either supply voltage terminal. Therefore whenever the circuit receives a signal ranging between 0.8 to 2.5 GHz, it provides the output current to the LED. Hence we are able to detect our desired frequency range i.e. frequency range of a mobile phone. Two capacitors are connected in parallel to enable detection of mobile signals. These capacitors behave like a loop antenna for the system. When mobile receives a call or SMS then capacitors will detect the data transmission frequency or signals from the mobile phones. Two 100nF capacitors (C2 and C3), in parallel, are used for detecting RF signal from Mobile Phone. Output of operational amplifier (op-amp) will go high or low due to generated current at input side of op-amp. These fluctuations are indicated through a LED which turns on through NPN transistors which are used as amplifiers. 1 CA 3130 Operational Amplifier 2 2.2M Resistor (2) 3 100K Resistor (1) 4 100nF Capacitor (4) 5 22pF Capacitor (2) 6 BC 547 Transistor 7 9 Volt Battery 8 100uF Capacitor 10 1K Resistor (3) CA3130)IC (OP-AMP) It is excellent Op Amp that has very low input current requirements. Its output will be in the zero state in the off mode. CA3130 is the 15MHz BiMOS IC with MOSFET inputs and a bipolar output. This IC shows very high speed of performance and combines the advantage of both CMOS and bipolar transistors. The presence of PMOS transistors at the inputs results in common mode input voltage capacity down to 0.5 volts below the negative rail. So it is ideal in single supply applications. In cell phone detector circuit, this operational amplifier is configured as frequency detector or current to voltage converter and its output is connected to NPN and PNP transistors. BC547 is a NPN transistor hence the collector and emitter will be left open (Forward biased) when a signal is provided to base pin. BC547 has a gain value current (IB) should be limited to 5mA. Here in the circuit it is used as an Rotary variable capacitor A variable capacitor is a capacitor whose capacitance can be varied according to the users requirement. Variable capacitors are often used in LC circuits to set or vary the resonance frequency, e.g. to tune a radio frequency we use variable capacitors thus they are also known as tuning capacitor or tuning condenser, e.g. for impedance matching in antenna tuners. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a p–n junction diode that emits light when activated. It has a two-lead semiconductor light source. When a This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to a type of energy of the photon) is determined by the The circuit was first made using the IC NE555, but the circuit didn't worked satisfactorily. LM358 IC was then used. The new circuit however was working but the IC was often getting heated up and also there was an inconsistent current flow to the circuit, which in the long run could damage the circuit. It was thus decided to implement the circuit using IC CA3130. This IC is an operational amplifier which is capable of detecting small change in current. A low value capacitor is connected to input of the IC. Since the IC used is quite efficient, even small change in capacitance is registered. The IC then sends an amplified value (~ 10mV) to the main capacitor which produces a high output state. This is indicated by an LED. The circuit was initially implemented on breadboard. Initial circuits were attempted using larger breadboard area. This led to various problems in the circuit such as, change in capacitive reactance caused by voltage fluctuations. It was also realized that in this arrangement the capacitance used in the circuit were projecting incorrect values. Hence, it was realized that a compact circuit could rectify the above mentioned problems. The value of the variable capacitance used in the circuit could not be measured accurately due to lack of proper measuring device. Thus, for the initial stages fixed capacitors were used. Once the circuit became functional the fixed capacitors were replaced with variable capacitor, the value of which were later measured using . Since the value of variable capacitor could now be measured, the circuit can be tuned to desired frequency range. The circuit thus designed is capable of detecting mobile phone up to a circumferential area with radius 5 to 6 meters. The range of this detector could be further improved by using high gain dipole antennas. With more time and resource this circuit can be coupled with a cell phone jammer to improve the detection range of the jammer.  In this project an attempt was made to design a cell phone detector with a range of 1.0 m using capacitor-resistor -circuit which can detect both outgoing and incoming calls even if the mobile is on silent mode. It works very efficiently. Fusion of new technology device with the existing tools makes it more trustworthy and reliable.  It is small, portable, light weight, easy to handle and operate. Overall the result of this concise study was optimistic, providing a good starting point for advanced investigations and improvement of the same.  This device can be used in classrooms during an examination where it is inevitable to switch off the phones.  It can also be used while conducting confidential meetings.  It can also be used in temples, high alert areas and even in the army  If we make some changes to the circuit then this device can also work as a network jammer. 1.Ajasa, A.; Shoewu, O. and Nwamina, P.

Pool Shark (Orig) Lyrics Lying in my plastic bed, Thinking how thinking how things wern't so cool me. My baby likes to shoot pool, I like lying naked in my bedroom, tying off that dinosaur tonight, It used to be so cool. Now I've got that needle, I can shake, but I can't bleed. Take it away, but I want more and more. One day I'm gonna loose the war.

The Largest Cities in the Midwest By Victor Kiprop on January 4 2019 in World Facts Chicago, the largest city in the American Midwest. Chicago, the largest city in the American Midwest. The Midwest or the Midwestern United States consists of the states that cover the north-central part of the country. The Midwestern states are South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio, and Indiana. The term “Midwest” was adopted in the late 19th century. Other names that refer to the region include "the Heartland," "Old Northwest," or the "Northwest." The Midwest plays a significant role as the farming and manufacturing center of the country. The region represents a broad aspect of American culture due to its diverse economy, politics, and demography. More than a quarter of American presidents emerge from the Midwest. The cities of the Midwest are growing and attracting populations from across the country although Chicago remains the only city in with a population of more than a million. The following are the largest cities of the Midwest. The Largest Cities In The Midwest The City of Chicago is the largest both in Illinois and in the Midwest. It is also the third largest city in the country with a population of about 2.72 million. The city is an international hub for technology, commerce, industry, and finance. It has the fourth largest city GDP in the world producing over $670.45 billion. Chicago is the second most visited city in the country after New York. Columbus is the second most populous city in the Midwest after Chicago and 14th populous in the country with a population of nearly 880,000. Columbus is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. It ranked third during the 2010 census, but the population has grown significantly over the past nine years to surpass Indianapolis. It is also the third most populous state capital after Phoenix and Austin. The primary drivers of the economy are energy, healthcare, technology, service industry, manufacturing, insurance, government, and education. Indianapolis is the third largest city in the Midwest with a population of about 865,000. It is the capital of Indiana State and the seat of Marion County. Census in 2010 placed Indianapolis second in the Midwest, but recent estimates show that it has been surpassed by Columbus, Ohio. Regardless of this, Indianapolis is still a significant player in the economics of the Midwest with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area housing more than 2 million. The city's economy is primarily driven by manufacturing, wholesale trade, service industry, insurance, finance, and education. The Economy Of The Midwest Agriculture generally dominates the economy of the Midwest, but financial and manufacturing sectors drive the cities. The region has some of the most productive farmlands in the world and accounts for billions of dollars in exports and thousands of jobs. Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska account for half the corn produced in the United States.

skip to Main Content 5 Amazing Ways Study Abroad Changes You Forever 5 Amazing Ways Study Abroad Changes You Forever They say all good things must come to an end. So, yes, that includes your adventures abroad. But that isn’t to say you won’t take the experiences with you long after you’ve had one last medialuna and cafe cortado, closed your notebook during the final Spanish lessons in Argentina, gave un beso to your host mother and said nos vemos pronto to Buenos Aires. In fact, things may change once you arrive home whether it is blatantly obvious to you or not. Here’s how: Change #1: You’ll want more. Routine becomes a thing of the past. You crave the adrenaline of trying new things, meeting new people and mixing things up on the daily. So don’t be surprised if you start planning your next trip abroad as soon as you get home! Change #2: You’ll find yourself thinking in Spanish. Especially if you took intensive Spanish lessons in Argentina, you may catch yourself yelling out “che” to someone instead of “hey man” to your friends. And another thing: during conversation, Spanish words may pop in your head first while you can’t even think of the word in English (or whatever your native lingo may be). You think: But wait, isn’t English my mother tongue?! Friends stare blankly at you because you forgot your own native language. Change #3: Home becomes a place that exists in many parts of the world. Maybe you had a homestay and really connected with your host family. Perhaps you made a good friend who lives on the other side of the world as you. Or it could be you just really became comfortable in your temporarily rented room in Buenos Aires. Either way, you miss some things about that life and it’s easy to begin to feel as though home exists in many parts of the world once you have studied abroad. Change #4: Confidence spikes way up. Moving away for college invokes a new sense of independence and confidence for sure. But everyone in the dorm/area may be in the same situation as you and your parents were probably a phone call away. During study abroad, time zone differences get in the way of calling home for every little thing and you are left with the need to make quick decisions in order to make it from point A to point B; to communicate with new people. Basically, you need to trust in yourself very much to live abroad successfully. Ninety-nine times out of 100, the experience strengthens a person and boosts their confidence as they learn they can rely on themselves to handle anything that comes their way. Change #5: You know yourself better (+ how you can learn things quicker). Yes, you still learn inside of a classroom during study abroad. But classes are always accompanied by multi-media materials and complemented by activities like historic tours, cultural exchange nights, lectures around the city, and dance classes. Classes are hands-on, open to questions and new ideas, engaging. You get your hands on newspaper ads and pop culture films and hilarious YouTube videos and songs and student conversations and celebrity impressions and dark history facts and well…you get the idea. You are bound to find the way you love to learn. Maybe it was through audio or through conversation, but study abroad teaches through a range of motions that most students are not exposed to in a standard high school classroom or large university lecture. You discover which type of learner you are and then —boom!—learning becomes a whole lot easier. You take this with your during new language endeavors, office tasks, and anything else. BONUS: Your life back home doesn’t change. You are the entity that has changed, not your hometown. This is an awesome thing to remember if you have yet to embark on a study abroad program (so you don’t feel overwhelmed with the process of leaving home…because it will be right there waiting for you when you return!). But it’s also important to keep in mind when you arrive back home after being away for weeks or months because sometimes the return is underwhelming. You are living in the place you know so well but with a new perspective of the world and that’s why people, places, and things may seem different. During your time abroad, you will have a different experience than the next person. Just don’t be surprised if it changes your worldview, major in college, direction in life, you know….just a few small things!	<urn:uuid:e939ebc2-3863-4714-b80e-66d5d51e01f5>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.02314150333404541, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9550423622131348, "url": "https://expanish.com/blog/5-amazing-ways-study-abroad-changes-you-forever/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-195630373", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.60.parquet" }
Everyone, Lay Off Chan: In Defense Of Erratic Performers If you want perfection, stay home and listen to the record, asshole. Oct 23 2012, 10:00pm Chan Marshall—or, as she is better known, Cat Power—has never been viewed by rock critics as a solid live performer. Her sets are known for being inconsistent, unpredictable and full of drunken ramblings. That’s right. Ms. Marshall has had a history of alcohol and drug problems just like most people who get up on a stage and share the most intimate corners of their God-damned souls with a room full of ticket-holding strangers. Plus, Marshall was plagued with the stage fright thing when she was in the baby-steps of her rock career. Some artists hide it, others do not. Marshall never hid it. Instead, she hid behind her signature brown fringe and whispered into the microphone, hunched behind a piano or guitar. The noise that came out was undeniably incredible. So, why did she get such a terrible reputation as an incapable live performer? Because she would do things like show up late for concerts (or not show up at all), stop songs halfway through and refuse to finish, patter around the stage, or walk-off early. In short, she was a bad little trained monkey. She took the responsibility of a performer (which is to do exactly what the audience and ticket price expects of you) and ignored it completely. I want to know why this is such a bad thing. What’s bad about being unpredictable? Isn’t that what we love most about our rock stars? Since Chan Marshall dropped her sixth studio album, Sun, and started touring the record, she has received nothing but weird-bad reviews. Of course, every snobby little rock critic talks about how her skills as a songwriter are “without parallel,” but they wag their fingers in disapproval of her onstage behavior. The kingpin of bad reviews was from David Von Bader of the Miami New Times. He criticized her for cutting songs, being unhappy with the sound, and withering under the lights. But, the nastiest part of his review was how he ragged on her issues with drugs and booze: “Get Chan Marshall off the road and into proper treatment… However, she is unwell. And though it might now be a part of the Cat Power mystique, it is beyond uncomfortable to pay money to watch the unraveling of a woman this talented at the hands of whatever vice has her in its grip.” Marshall responded by uploading a screencap of the review to her Instagram and writing (in all-capitalized letters) that David Von Bader was “a square” (which is fucking hilarious). I’m going to take a stand right now in defense of erratic performers. When you go see a show, there should be a sense of unpredictability. The audience is not in control of what happens, the performer is. And guess what? Things might not always go as planned. The Replacements used to be the champions of unpredictability. Some shows, they would play every song perfectly, while others, they would not play a single piece of original material and drunkenly cover campy old songs. That’s what rock 'n’ roll should be. It’s real. Fake it and you get caught. Remember poor Ashlee Simpson? The pop world is nasty. If you want perfection, stay home and listen to the record. A live performance is about a one-time experience, and no matter how drunk, rambling, or messed up the performer may be, that is part of the game. Some days, you are on, and some days, you are on another planet. Critics have no idea what it’s like to be on stage night after night. Maybe Chan Marshall is trying to teach the audience something about being uncomfortable? Inflict the pain back onto them. Who knows? All I know is no one ever complained during The Greatest and Jukebox years, and it’s not like she was sober then either, so don’t bring vices into it. Marshall has gone through some emotional changes lately (relationship stuff we all deal with) as well as physical changes (new hair, don’t care). I wonder if none of these very visible and so-called "erratic" changes had happened to the artist known as Cat Power, would reviewers still being seeing a “new” Marshall? Chan Marshall plays Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC tonight. I can’t wait to see what all the papers have to say tomorrow. And if she shows up 15 minutes late with a drink in her hand, will verbal tones be thrown? I’m on your side, Chan. The art of performance is a loss of control. Fuck the critics.	<urn:uuid:d699dd07-b5e5-40b1-9d80-7ad5c53c0ca3>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.08229142427444458, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9695742130279541, "url": "https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/64xy36/everyone-lay-off-chan-in-defense-of-erratic-performers", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs8-383966804", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_08_of_10/part.1277.parquet" }
Sunday, 30 January 2011 BGBW highlights Photographing the birds in our garden through several panes of glass will never produce brilliant results, but at least the shutter noise doesn't scare the subjects away. Here's a few highlights from this weekend's BGBW... Mrs Great Spotted Woodpecker Mr Great Spotted Woodpecker Long-tailed Tit Saturday, 29 January 2011 Pig lard and curd munch Yes, folks, it's that time of year again, when the UK human population has the chance to survey the numbers of birds frequenting their gardens. The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch takes place this weekend and it's reckoned that half a million of us are likely to spend an hour perusing the wild space that's nearest to our front or back door. "But, Tense," I hear you cry, "You do that anyway!" Admittedly this is so, but the Tense Towers team relish the one weekend in the year when, it could be argued, quantity matters more than quality. Our Lass is excused a wry smile at this point. For not only are we logging the number of species in the garden, but also the number of each species. Against the clock. OK, so it's not strictly against the clock, it's just that we're only supposed to spend an hour on the activity. This means that every little happy bundle of feathers counts. Whilst our garden is less than the size of a tennis court, when there's numerous habitats to watch, it does become a bit more complicated. With lawn, borders, hedge, tree, feeder and bird table to scan, even two pairs of eyes aren't enough when a feeding frenzy kicks off. For some species, where we wouldn't expect to see more than one or two individuals at a time, this isn't a problem. Song Thrush, for example. We only ever see these in ones, which makes for easy counting. Or Wren, where again if we see one individual in a week, we're ecstatic. Other species are more numerous. Where these are large birds, like Collared Dove or Wood Pigeon, it's pretty straight forward to log the quantity. Some of our flying visitors are both very large and only ever appear in ones... Thames Valley Police helicopter Less subtle than a Sparrowhawk, but as good at emptying the garden in seconds. Grrrr. Yet more species arrive in multiples and squabble fiercely amongst themselves. In a dynamic situation like this, it's important to be able to recognise differences between individuals. If males and females have different plumage, that's a big help. For example Blackbirds, we can spend a few minutes counting the really black male ones and a few more minutes the browner female (or perhaps 1st winter) ones. The same goes for Greenfinch, Chaffinch and House Sparrow, where the males tend to be more prominently marked. Great Tits are not identical, the male having a broader black stripe down his front. However, in the hurly burly of the garden environment, it can be tricky to compare this feature. Oddly, today we've only seen one, so the problem has not materialised. A few species make it nice and easy for us. Dunnocks always turn up in threes. The Great Spotted Woodpeckers take turns at the feeder, he with a red flash on the back of his head, her without. You will always know if you've got more than one Robin, as the posturing and bickering will draw your attention like a red r... obin to another Robin? The male and female Goldfinches, however, are hard to tell apart. Fortuitously, they tend to visit the feeder all at once, monopolising the ports and queuing impatiently on the crossbar to the exclusion of all else, simples! Sadly, Starlings don't visit in huge numbers any more, possibly a reflection of their well-documented decline, so head counts aren't difficult. However, we need to keep our eyes peeled, and be on our toes, to spot the Coal Tit as it nips in, grabs a seed and disappears again. All of this means that the most difficult bird to monitor in our garden is the numerous, rather small, similar-looking and incredibly lively Blue Tit. With individuals flitting to the peanut feeder, the sunflower feeder, the fat block and bird table from several different vantage points, they're almost impossible to count. I reckon we've had six today. Maybe. That's my best estimate short of deploying the superglue. I hope you have the opportunity to take part in the RSPB's survey. All records count, just don't include helicopters. Pig lard and curd munch? I ate a bacon and cheese slice during my hour's vigil. Sunday, 23 January 2011 Blank-ing banking Rant over. Sunday, 16 January 2011 As the sunrise begins to slowly, but relentlessly, inch back along the eastern horizon towards Midsummer's Day, Mother Nature is already beginning to respond to this gentle stimulus. After weeks of being entombed under an eclectic blanket of frost, snow and ice, the ground is enjoying its new-found freedom. In our garden, the shoots of spring bulbs are pushing through the soil, breaking cover and bringing a splash of fresh green to the bare earth. The pre-dawn air is filled with layers of sound, as one by one, the chorus singers rediscover their voices, in grateful response to the rise in temperature. The ever-sonically-present Robin is ramping up the volume and the beat, to re-affirm to all those visiting cousins just whose patch this is. Great Tits are nowhere near as melodious, but make up for it with their powerfully-rendered bisyllabic notes. In this neck of the woods (figure of speech, we don't live in a wood, more's the pity), we don't often see a Song Thrush, as we do not have enough of the relevant habitat. But at least now we can hear them again, that jaunty repetitive bunch of phrases uttered in defiance of Man, weather and, most significantly, other thrushes. Whilst Winter has not yet dealt its final card, here is the groundswell of opinion from all living creatures, that they will endure and survive to welcome in the next season. It may not be perpetual motion or time travel, but pedalling along on the cycle of Life is the definitive green movement. Monday, 10 January 2011 Retail therapy Sunday 9th January 2011. With the prospect of good light and blue skies this morning, the Admiral and I decided on a trip to Tesco, retail juggernaut and inadvertent wildlife site, though not for provisions, you understand. Specifically, the store located in Bletchley. The supermarket's car park had become the latest food emporioum of choice for the roving flock of Waxwings that have been in the MK area for several months. Not having bumped into them in huge numbers or even bright sunshine, this was an opportunity not to be missed. Finding them was reasonably simple, as they were perched in some trees by the fuel station. But the small group of birders amongst the Sunday shoppers were hoping for some berry action, courtesy of the Sorbus trees dotted throughout the car park. These were still laden with red fruit and seemingly irresistible to your average Waxwing. Hmmm, that's an interesting concept. Is there such a thing as an average Waxwing? They're just so splendid in every department. Beautiful colours, natty crest, cute song and ever so approachable. By good fortune, one particular line of trees was situated in a less busy part of the car park and presented the best chances of photographic opportunities. A pair of resident Mistle Thrushes were somewhat taken aback at having to share their fruit with the Scandinavian visitors, but they were as helpless as the Saxon monks of a Lindisfarne monastery, in the face of the invading Viking hordes. The main flock of 200 or so Waxwings broke up into smaller groups, which then repeatedly descended on the berry-laden trees. Their frenzied feeding was not even interrupted by the presence of so many equally-oblivious shoppers, who only seemed to notice the birds when half a dozen cameras were suddenly trained on the fruity feasting. A few birds were even landing on the ground to gorge on fallen berries, quite unconcerned by the people and cars around them, who themselves were caught up in their own mad dash for provender. However, I would sooner listen to a chorus of Waxwing-y trilling than the sounds of squeaky trolley wheels and impatient shoppers. After an hour or so, a Kestrel appeared and landed on top of a large lighting gantry in the centre of the car park, causing the Waxwings to temporarily depart. We, too, took this as our cue to move on, after a pleasant morning in the company of these spectacular birds. Saturday, 8 January 2011 Driving Miss ****y In 1975, Ian Hunter had a UK hit with the song "Once bitten, twice shy". In 2011, Martin posted a comment on my blog that included nearly the same words. Boys, I gotta tell ya, you're wrong. Today, whilst out with Second Born, she turned right at the roundabout before the one she wanted. The road which we found ourselves on, ran along the side of a wood, behind a lake. A clearing in the wood extended to the road, and as we drove passed, I glanced across it, at a bird standing in the open. Ooo, a heron, a brown heron... After we'd stopped, turned around and crept slowly back, it was still there. No way, this cannot be. As we were out on driving practice, I had somehow inexplicably forgotten to bring binoculars and camera. There I was, a mere 25m from my second Bittern of the week, but this time without a reed in sight. Hmmm, twenty minutes from home. What would you do? Forty minutes later, we were back on site, there was still plenty of light but the bird had moved back into cover. A shame, but still a great view. Second bittern, not shy I love MK and its confusing roundabouts. Land of the Prince Bishops Just before dawn on the first day of 2011, Our Lass and I were northbound from Buckinghamshire, heading for our spiritual home in the Land of the Prince Bishops. We were both raised in County Durham, that interesting bit of industrial archaeology, bordered by the rugged Pennines in the west, the River Tyne to the north, the River Tees to the south and the North Sea to the east. Some 4 hours later, we crossed into the county, at Piercebridge, next to the remains of the Roman fort. It is always a special moment, though with political boundary changes, the definitive sign, "County Durham - Land of the Prince Bishops", wasn't for a few miles yet. To explain, the eponymous clergy were a succession of powerful men who ruled the County Palatinate in medieval times. Our first port of call was to the clan headquarters, or to be more correct, "me Mam and Dad's house". For, nestled in the Gaunless valley, in the village of West Auckland, is the home of the couple responsible for unleashing Imperfect and Tense on an unsuspecting world. After catching up on events recent and past, we settled down to watch the activity in their garden. It had us green with envy, as a flock of tits visited the bird table just outside their window. The usual Blue and Great, but also a couple of Coal and seven Long-tailed. I managed to catch some footage of the latter. Following that merriment, we journeyed to that most confusing of constructions, the conundrum of all conurbations, Middlesbrough, to visit my brother and his family. Positioned by the wide estuary of the River Tees and on the edge of the idyllic North York Moors National Park, the town is dominated by its industrial past and present. The railway, the port, iron and steel and, latterly, chemical works have all left their mark, and aroma, on the town. Despite all that, my dear bro still has a garden bird list to cherish. I recently recalled the text message informing me that he had seen a Waxwing. Unfortunately, it was dead, having flown into a window. Quite possibly caused by lack of vision due to all the noxious petrochemical fumes. That notwithstanding, we rounded off New Year's Day with a fantastic family meal and pondered on the wonderful start to 2011.

This help is commonly referred to as long-term services and supports (LTSS). Under current policies, these individuals will fund roughly half of their paid care out of pocket. Partly as a result of high costs and uncertainty, relatively few people purchase private long-term care insurance or save sufficiently to fully finance LTSS; many will eventually turn to Medicaid for help. To show how policy changes could expand insurance{\textquoteright}s role in financing these needs, we modeled several new insurance options. Specifically, we looked at a front-end-only benefit that provides coverage relatively early in the period of disability but caps benefits, a back-end benefit with no lifetime limit, and a combined comprehensive benefit. We modeled mandatory and voluntary versions of each option, and subsidized and unsubsidized versions of each voluntary option. We identified important differences among the alternatives, highlighting relevant trade-offs that policy makers can consider in evaluating proposals. If the primary goal is to significantly increase insurance coverage, the mandatory options would be more successful than the voluntary versions. If the major aim is to reduce Medicaid costs, the comprehensive and back-end mandatory options would be most beneficial. }, keywords = {Aged, Financing, Government, Humans, Insurance, Insurance Coverage, Long-term Care, Medicaid, Middle Aged, Policy Making, United States}, issn = {1544-5208}, doi = {10.1377/hlthaff.2015.1226}, author = {Melissa Favreault and Gleckman, Howard and Richard W Johnson} }	<urn:uuid:2ae24784-d2c8-49a8-8201-22625f5a9238>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.0738402009010315, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9150053262710571, "url": "https://hrs.isr.umich.edu/publications/biblio/export/bibtex/10490", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-233486321", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.1184.parquet" }
Why starving yourself is bad for weightloss Let’s face it. Who doesn’t want to lose a few extra kilos to have the ideal body shape? The unfortunate thing is people are under the impression that if they starve them self, they will lose weight. But is this true? and the right way to lose weight? The truth is that starving yourself is bad for weight loss. Starving yourself for weight loss is neither healthy or effective. The truth is that you to gain more weight instead. It’s really quite simple once you know. When you starve, you force your body into starvation mode. Your mind and body do realize when it’s not getting enough nourishment so it starts to store fat to be consumed later. Starvation can also decrease you’re the rate of your metabolism cause you several health problems. The best, safest and most effective alternative to starving for weight loss is using appetite. In order to understand why starving yourself is bad for weight loss, you must understand how body fat works. How does Body Fat work and what is it? Body fat is stored energy. When you consume food, your body will burn some of the calories, and will store whatever is left over and form into body fat. One of the biggest and most common mistakes people make is not eating while working out at a moderate to high intensity. But when starving yourself, there are some things that happen to your body. When you don’t eat, or eat very little, your body goes into what is known as “starvation mode”. The rate of your metabolism starts slowing down and your body starts to conserve and keep the body fat. The hormones in your body switch on and say” what’s going on? It will go into a survival mode. Secondly, when starving yourself, you will just give up because you feel hungry and just want to eat. Because we are blessed to have food so much good food around, it’s easy to be tempted and just start eating. Another very important reason why you shouldn’t starve yourself is food gives us fuel for energy and valuable nutrients that your body needs to survive and function. Last but not least, when you finish eating a meal after you’ve been starving yourself, your body breaks it down differently. Because your metabolism has slowed down from starving yourself, your body will store it instead of burning it. So, in simple terms, you end up gaining more body fat. A Smarter Way A smarter way to lose body fat is eating more meals throughout the day. You should aim to eat 5 to 8 small meals of healthy foods throughout the day to keep your metabolism functioning efficiently. You won’t feel as less and won’t eat as much. This method works for many people although it is not the only approach. If you genuinely want to lose body fat, don’t starve yourself. Starving yourself is bad for weight loss. While it might seem contrary to our intuition, you need to eat (healthy and correctly) to lose fat and not starve yourself. Starving yourself is way to go about if you want achieve weight loss and bad and detrimental for your overall health. If you eat small healthy meals throughout the day, workout, and you will lose the weight.

Locked Document Alarm A beep or other alarm would be an improvement when attempting to edit a locked document, as would be preventing that document’s name from being changed. Most notable is going to a locked document, positioning the cursor in the content, starting to type as if to edit, hitting a space, and then having the document suddenly scroll. Also changing the locked document’s name is possible and is not locked. Plus, the modified date does not update if changed. I lock certain older documents to prevent changes to them, but sometimes I do accidentally attempt to edit them. An alarm at the first attempt in doing that would be helpful and names should not be able to be changed in a locked document. It would be abnormally and counterintuitively undesirable (to me) if changing a document’s name also updated its modification time. I can’t think of any app I use that behaves that way. OK, understand your point but the real issue is being able to change the name in a locked document. That should not be permitted. Locking a document in DEVONthink does not prevent changes to the metadata of the document, including adding tags, Spotlight Comments text, or Name change. A common use of locking is to prevent inadvertent changes to content, especially in cases such that information would be lost, e.g., by editing a Nisus Writer RTF file using the built-in DEVONthink text editor. The Lock action in DEVONthink does not lock the document against an external editor. For example, an RTF document that has been locked can still be opened and modified using “Open With” and choosing the parent application, e.g., Nisus Writer. I use a couple of applications that create “hybrid” PDF documents, editable lunder their parent application, but viewed in DEVONthink (and other applications as wwll) as PDF. Were I to edit such a hybrid PDF within DEVONthink or Preview, it would not longer be editable under the parent applicaation. I “lock” such files. It’s a good idea to append to the name a reminder to myself of its proper parent application, wheich I can still do by a Name change even after locking it. The purpose of locking, of course, is to prevent inadvertent editing under DEVONthink, Preview, Acrobat, etc. By design, the Lock action in DEVONthink is not identical to the Lock action in the Finder, which would entirely prevent modifying or renaming a file. A number of users employ document naming systems that provide information to them, and they are free to modify the name of a document stored in a DEVONthink database, whether or not the document is locked. For example, I might create a rich text note that includes the name of a reference that it annotates, and append to the name whenever I wish, “locked” or not, other information, e.g., a textual “cue” string that could be used in a Lookup search to designate a scrolling position of a document in the result list view of the referenced document – a little trick that I often find useful. Or I might add a YYYYMMDD “date” string as a prefix to a set of document names in order to make that set sortable by “date” in a Name sort. This will work whether or not any of the documents are “locked”. I might use that trick for receipts, publication dates, historical records or a variety of other purposes. In sum, many DEVONthink users would resist an extension of the “lock” metaphor in DEVONthink to preclude Name change of a “locked” document. @Bill_DeVille: Thanks for your time with the examples, comments, and some helpful tips. I totally agree with your points and in fact, have done some you describe. The part of my suggestion about not allowing name changes was a hasty one. But my real point was a suggestion to add a beep or other alarm if you attempt to edit the contents of a locked document from within DTPO. Nothing happens to the contents, but it is easy to seemingly start typing and suddenly have the document jump without warning after hitting a space. Obvious disallowed operations in the content like a type style change or a Cut do now result in a beep. Other operations like typing characters and font changes do not. Why not an alarm anytime the cursor is positioned in the locked document? That should cover all circumstances and still not interfere with something that is allowed like a Copy. I see what you mean, especially if one selects a block of text and tries to do something with it, other than copy it to the clipboard. But I use as a visible cue the fact that a cursor insertion point will not be displayed in a locked text document. At least for me visual cues can be hard to spot in DT; it’s an aspect of the “focus limbo” issue I’ve previously written about. Never noticed that. For me the vertical insertion line is there just not blinking. Instead of a simple insertion I typically select, double or triple click on something in the locked document. Then start typing expecting to revise and replace the selection. Those actions appear the same as in a regular (unlocked) document. OK, but the actions to select text are legitimate, as you might want to copy text to the clipboard. Do you want the computer to bong at you or worse, put up an error message (and worst of all, a modal message, perhaps offering the option to unlock the document) in that case? A user whose intention is to select and copy text in a locked document might find a warning that the document is locked to be distracting and irritating. A user whose intention is to modify a locked document will see that the effect of typing new text is nil. The little “Lock” symbol is visible in the navigation bar above the text pane. So how should the UI be modified to accommodate different user intentions concerning a locked document? If there’s an audible or visible cue when an action is taken, what should trigger it and when? Refining my previous suggestion: Why not an alarm anytime the cursor is positioned in the locked document and keys (alphanumeric) are pressed? Same as what happens now with invalid operations like a style change and Cut producing a beep while valid operations like a Copy do not. It sounds like simply expanding the criterion for when a beep occurs. Plus eliminate the annoyance of the unexpected scrolling when typing a space in a locked document. And let’s not forget how Emacs behaves when typing in read-only buffers. :slight_smile: I don’t think the majority of DTPO users care about Emacs. I do think the majority care about limiting the inconsistencies between actions in DTPO versus “standard” Mac actions that they experience in other applications. Some differences may be necessary, as in how to handle locked documents in DTPO which Bill clarified previously. But most differences should not exist, as I mistakenly had suggested previously to update a file’s modification date with a name change. My intention (implied by the smiley) was simply to lighten the discussion a bit. Dtech has made changes that improved intra-app consistency (some which I’ve suggested) and will hopefully make more if arguments in their favor are convincing enough.	<urn:uuid:e2ca0fea-897e-4250-819a-4b36a3ca2c7b>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.08551710844039917, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9206698536872864, "url": "https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/locked-document-alarm/10388", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-277643475", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.647.parquet" }
Catalog of Products Walt Disney Classic Through The Mirror Through The Mirror (WDC) Thru the Mirror is a Mickey Mouse cartoon short film produced by Walt Disney Productions, released by United Artists in 1936. In this cartoon short, Mickey has a Through the Looking-Glass-type dream that he travels through his mirror and enter a topsy-turvy world where everything is alive. While there, he engages in a Fred Astaire-type dance number with a pair of gloves and a pack of cards, until the cards chase him out of the bizarre world. The title is written as Thru the Mirror on the title card, but the alternative spelling Through the Mirror is used on the poster for the film.

When Japan puts a filthy finger in the Taiwan Straits Published: Dec 08, 2021 11:13 PM Illustration: Liu Rui/GT Illustration: Liu Rui/GT "I came here, not that I was sidelined in Tokyo." Upon Nobusuke Kishi's arrival in "Manchukuo" in 1936, he kept bragging about his "Japan-Manchukuo integration" schemes. "The industrial and economic development of 'Manchukuo' is not only its own concern but also Japan's concern." Kishi, who later served as the 56th and 57th Japanese Prime Minister and, more notoriously, an A-Class WWII war criminal before that, then picked up and faithfully finished the duty of economic exploitation in "Manchukuo," a puppet regime established by the Japanese militants on Chinese territory. History always keeps repeating itself. Eighty-five years later, former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo arrogated to himself the courage to say that "a Taiwan contingency is a contingency for Japan. In other words, it is also a contingency for the Japan-U.S. alliance." As the grandson of Kishi, whose prime contribution was ensuring that America "must" safeguard Japan, Abe could easily find in his blood something hereditary: A mouthful of saliva dropping on Chinese territory and the same kind of obsequiousness towards their North American sugar daddy who once sent Curtis LeMay into its air and Douglas MacArthur to its land. I suppose we should congratulate Mr. Abe for stepping down. For one thing, his illness did not go straight to his brain, as he still remains fully conscious of who to suck up to; for another, eventually, he could stoop so low as to hide behind an imaginary shield labeled "HEY, I'M NO LONGER IN CHARGE, OK?," while sending an SOS to Washington and copying Tokyo -- "HELP! What am I gonna do next?" Or even worse. If the assertion is, as explained by the Japanese government, something personal about Abe, which none of us would ever believe, all I have to say is that the despicable ambition to put a filthy finger in China's internal affairs could have been an unspeakable dream from Day 1 in office. He did not become the longest-serving post-war Japanese Prime Minister for nothing. He is an astonishingly sophisticated politician who knows precisely how to sweep his desire under the carpet when in office. This is one of the reasons why he is said to outperform former Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke, his grandfather, former Prime Minister and frequent Yasukuni Shrine visitor Sato Eisaku, Kishi's brother, former Foreign Minister Abe Shintaro, his father, and current Defense Minister Kishi Nobuo, his brother. One of the real problems within the family that concerns every Chinese is that they all have an above-mentioned filthy finger stretched into the Taiwan Straits, which, in a serious narrative, is an outrageous attempt to relive its militarist dream. The Japanese government often has an absurd mindset towards Taiwan. After illegally occupying Taiwan for more than nearly half a century, Japan still doesn't want to miss any chance to exert its influence on the Chinese island. When Nobusuke Kishi was in charge, he managed to include Taiwan in Japan's defensive range in 1960 in the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, a treaty that resulted in overwhelming protests domestically, and subsequently the collapse of his cabinet. Then, he visited Taiwan in 1969, a time when Taiwan's ejection from the UN seemed inevitable, in an attempt to suggest Chiang Kai-shek remain in the UN as "Republic of Taiwan," a flagrant violation of China's sovereignty. When Sato Eisaku was in charge, he visited Taiwan in 1967 (the last Japanese Prime Minister to officially visit Taiwan when in office) to push Chiang Kai-shek to attack the mainland. Mr. Sato then asserted that Taiwan was a crucial element in Japan's security in the Joint Communique Between the United States and Japan in 1969 and followed the United States in 1971 in the UN to promote a resolution that allowed the "dual representation" of China and Taiwan in the UN, which was met with furious objections from countries around the world, and failed. The Japanese people could not bear his anti-China agenda any more in 1972 and ditched him that year, a year when China and Japan established diplomatic ties. I then don't feel it necessary to repeat how Mr. Kishi Nobuo in recent days hyped the so-called "Chinese threat" and talked nonsense about Taiwan, as it is almost his daily routine. It is probably fair to say that where there is Japan meddling in Taiwan affairs, there is the Abe family and the shadow named America. However, what is appalling is that they seem to have completely forgotten that the People's Republic of China is not the Qing Dynasty, and meddling in China's internal affairs is, seriously, the last thing the Chinese people can put up with. Those who step across China's red line will definitely be met with China's resolute response. And we have seen that before. In 1588, Japan, united by one of its most famous historic icons, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, invaded the Joseon Dynasty. At the request of the emperor of the Joseon, China sent troops to form a Ming-Joseon Alliance, leaving some 80,000 Japanese dead in the war and got rid of the rest. In 1931, the Fascist Regime of Japan invaded China as part of WWII. And after 14 years of unyielding resistance, the Chinese people, together with the Allied forces, defeated the Japanese Imperial Army and successfully sent war criminals to the Tokyo trial. If we come back to the beginning of the article, we will find that Kishi Nobusuke, who was sentenced as an A-class war criminal in the Tokyo trial, somehow escaped from being hanged under the protection of the Americans because he was believed to have played a crucial part in convicting Hideki Tojo, No. 1 on America's black list for planning the Pacific War. Had Kishi Nobusuke not been illegally helped by the Americans in 1948 and escape execution, an end that he deserved, it would remain uncertain whether the Kishi family could stay in power, and it would be in doubt whether his daughter could marry Abe Shintaro in 1951 and give birth to Abe Shinzo in 1954. Oh Gosh! Were it not for the Americans, our problem with the Kishi family could have been solved long before. That's not strange at all. "Were it not for the Americans" is almost an answer linked to most of the problems we have in the world.

Wednesday, June 1, 2011 stupid bug. So my memorial day weekend was shaping up to be ok - had to work Monday, but it was only 5 hours, so no big deal. We had a giant heat wave knock us into the 90's so I wasn't that hungry Monday, which didn't really bother me as I am trying to whittle down the muffin. However, later that night, after I had a turkey sandwich and ice cream I had been craving, the GI Bug that had been brewing reared its ugly head. I was nauseated for a full two hours before my stomach gave its entire haul for the day back to the porcelain throne. After that, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Every muscle in my body ached, and my back was killing me. I turned the AC down many times that night, trying to get comfortable. Hubs had to deal with a slightly fussy burrito, and I kept apologizing for not helping (when I was coherent that is). He kept reminding me that I'm not the only parent... Oops. Fail on my part! So Tuesday I called off of work and headed to the doc while hubs dropped burrito at daycare - with a frozen bag of milk, as I hadn't pumped enough the day before, tyvm bug. Got my info, stopped at the store, got some gatorade and chicken noodle soup. Slept. It was glorious. Until time came for hubs to leave for work, at which time it was just me and a fussy pre-bed burrito. Thoughts which were running through my head included: how did Mom do this?, can the dog entertain him, can I put out a mass request for help on FB? Eventually after nursing 4 times, he was satisfied and fell asleep in the bed with me. We woke again at 130 to turn down the AC and eat, and 330 to eat, 630 for the day and he ate again at 745, which is hopefully telling my body he still needs milk. Unfort, I am still running on gatorade and just starting to eat solids again. Hopefully I can ramp it up and be able to pump enough for at least half the day tomorrow. I have one bag of freezer stash available and I don't want to send formula...but If the kid needs to eat... sigh stupid bug.

Tuesday, June 2, 2015 Finding which event fired(button clicked) in Page_Load or Page_Init/Page_PreInit I was working on an app and I wanted to turn off Event Validations when a certain action was performed to Render the HTML. Keeping them on won't let me render my UserControl to an HTML file. So I wanted to capture the Event right in Page_PreInit so that I can disable Event Validation of Page. Note that this can only be done either programmatically before Page is Initialized, or as a Page directive in aspx file. Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] is the variable that will capture the information for the button clicked. One additional aspect to note is to have UseSubmitBehavior="false" for the Button Web Control to generate the value for "__EVENTTARGET". So in your html: <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnDownload" UseSubmitBehavior="false" ClientIDMode="Static" Text="Download" style="display:none;" OnClick="btnDownload_Click" /> In code behind, this is what you would have: protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e) if (Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] != null && Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"].Contains("btnDownload")) Page.EnableEventValidation = false;//(NO INTELLISENSE!)disable event validation when the button is clicked for downloading file	<urn:uuid:d3b22c84-82fb-4308-8725-be5a1393f2ce>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.019354939460754395, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.8040651679039001, "url": "http://usman-suglatwala.blogspot.com/2015/06/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs4-181375008", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_04_of_10/part.937.parquet" }
Office Management 489 Photo by: Chad McDermott Office management is generally described as organizing and administering the auxiliary, day-to-day chores of the front office—chores that are often the responsibility of an office manager. Possible duties of an office manager include ordering and purchase approval of office supplies and services, hiring and supervision of front office workers, handling customer service, managing accounting functions, and analyzing sales—but office management can be virtually anything the company owner wants it to be. According to chief executive officers responding to a survey from Inc. magazine, good office management and office managers are the grease that keep the wheels of business rolling smoothly. In a similar vein, an author in Medical Economics magazine wrote that the main function of an office manager of a medical practice is to "free you [the doctor] from hassles and let you concentrate on medicine." There is no traceable history of office management. The job of "office manager" is generally found in smaller companies where the owner depends on a single person who performs a variety of tasks to keep the office functioning. As a company grows into a corporation, office managers seem to disappear, while other departments such as purchasing and human resources expand. The office manager is usually not considered to be a member of the management team. She or he probably would not participate in management strategy sessions on how to increase sales, but would participate in sessions on how to cut operating expenses. In the area of supplies and services, an office manager is usually responsible for buying short-term supplies such as photocopy paper, envelopes, and letterhead, longer-term purchases such as telephone systems, and other ongoing necessities such as making sure the postal meter has enough postage. This person usually handles the company's service purchases, such as long distance telephone service and photocopier service agreements. Ideally, office managers will be given the authority to accept bids and negotiate contracts so that they may tell salespeople that they make the decisions. Office managers must also be savvy enough to recognize fraudulent business practices. Another responsibility of office managers is staffing. They will recruit, interview, and hire employees for the office. Office managers need to know how to select the right people and train them. For example, the telephone receptionist will need to be skilled in telephone etiquette and customer service. Office managers sometimes take on the role of monitoring customer service. They may listen to calls, or answer the phone themselves. They may also ask the customers directly how the company is doing in this area. They then report their findings to the company owner on a regular basis. They also know enough to turn over particularly thorny problems to the company owner immediately so faithful customers do not become angry if they think the company owner is ignoring them and passing them off to an office manager. The key to being successful as a customer service manager is to convince customers that all collected information—good and bad—will go directly to the president for review. Accounting functions are often handled by office managers, provided they have some background in handling money, or can be trained to do so. They may keep track of accounts payable and accounts receivable, assign vendor bills to be paid during specific weeks, prepare outgoing bills as customer orders or jobs are finished, and control the company's petty cash. Many office managers are reluctant to actually sign checks, however, as that could make them appear to be a link in the chain of financial liability if the company were to run into financial problems. Conversely, many owners are reluctant to turn over checkwriting duties to their office managers, fearing for embezzlement. Owners who do charge their office managers with this responsibility typically set a limit on the amount of the checks, based on the company's average daily expenses. Some owners also secure fidelity bond coverage for their office managers; a fidelity bond is purchased from an insurance company and will pay the insured company for money or property lost from the dishonest actions—including embezzlement, forgery, and theft—of its bonded employees. Office managers also frequently take on the job of time accounting, particularly for small service companies such as advertising agencies or law firms that depend on the billing of time as a source of revenue. The officer manager collects the time sheets from billable employees in order to assign the hours to specific jobs. This task is slowly being replaced by software that automatically tracks and assigns time. A final possible area of responsibility for office managers is to compile and analyze sales information. This might involve calculating the profitability of the company and specific projects or tracking various expenditures. This knowledge is critical to the performance of a company, but too detailed for the company owner to know off the top of his or her head. An office manager performing these duties must be able to retrieve all the necessary documents and be able to analyze the information. An office manager position can sometimes lead a person up the corporate ladder without a formal business degree. The experience gained from organizing and running the front office successfully can provide a person with a variety of transferable skills.

Can hemp seeds get you high? Raw hemp seed chocolate fudge balls are a high-protein snack. Raw hemp seed chocolate fudge balls are a high-protein snack. Photo: Supplied Hemp seed sales are on the rise. The seeds taste delicious, are highly nutritious yet come with a whiff of illegality. Two stockists contacted by Fairfax Media were too nervous to be named in this article. ''I've heard of recent crackdowns on retailers,'' said one. Hemp seeds are readily available in shops, but trade occurs on a ''don't ask, don't tell'' basis. It is illegal to sell them for human consumption. They can be sold as ingredients for a facial scrub, for example, but a shopkeeper can't sell them to a customer who divulges an intention to sprinkle them on cornflakes. This is despite no evidence that you can get high on hemp seeds or hemp-seed oil. ''Drink as much hemp-seed oil as you like. It's not going to happen,'' says one retailer who is often asked about its powers. ''Hemp contains no or very low levels of THC, the chemical associated with the psychoactive properties of marijuana,'' according to Food Standards Australia New Zealand. The authority says hemp seeds do, however, contain protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. FSANZ considers hemp to have THC levels sufficiently low to make it safe for consumption. A ministerial review about the legality of hemp seed, taking into account the FSANZ position, was due to conclude last week, but is now expected to go on until later this year. The last review was in 2002, when health ministers rejected a bid to legalise food derived from hemp, saying it could send a confused message to consumers and could affect drug-testing results. ''We have to position them at a certain place in the store,'' explains one retailer. ''That's why they're with the cleaning products, rather than with the rest of our superfoods.'' Hemp seed stockist Francesca Boch urges change. ''If there's a debate, there will be a bombardment. People want to make up their own minds. Eighteen months ago, I sold one packet every three to four weeks. Now I'm selling 10 packets a week. ''We could get into trouble if we sell it as food, so we are very diplomatic about how we term it.'' Out of earshot of customers, a staff member launches into an enthusiastic description of her hemp-seed protein balls. The nutty-flavoured seeds can be sprinkled on salads, and hemp-seed milk (a blend of seeds and water) can be added to smoothies. Recipe: Raw hemp-seed chocolate fudge balls 1 cup hulled hemp seeds 1/2 cup raw cacao powder pinch of salt dash of vanilla extract (organic and cold extracted, if possible) 1/4 cup extra virgin cold-pressed coconut oil, melted 6 medjool dates, pitted 1. Put all the ingredients into a blender and whiz until smooth. 2. Roll the mix into balls. 3. Roll them in your choice of coating, such as cocoa powder or desiccated coconut, and set them in the fridge until firm.	<urn:uuid:e742a174-19de-4239-b5b1-7b69095f6278>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.11617565155029297, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.955897331237793, "url": "http://www.goodfood.com.au/recipes/can-hemp-seeds-get-you-high-20140708-3bjpo", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs1-464646332", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_01_of_10/part.1186.parquet" }
Fork me on GitHub Daniel Östling10:11:31 Is there a commonly accepted way to structure ”large” programs with multiple namespaces etc? Is there documentation/guides? :) I don't think there's a generally applicable way, no. I have my own pattern for web apps and try to split namespaces/folders by areas of responsibility in general. Here some examples: • a smallish library • a smallish website (actually the first clojure one i ever made) • a way bigger service I hope you can use these for reference. (All are using leiningen so source code lives in src.) If you have questions ask away! @danielostling Look for talks and other material out there about "functional core, imperative shell" and Domain-Driven Design (with Clojure) for some guidance on structure. Also, Clojure Applied is probably the most useful book in this area. But, yeah, overall there's not a lot of material out there -- partly because Clojure has historically attracted more senior developers who've already internalized a lot of architectural thinking. At work, we have over 100K lines of Clojure, stretching back across a decade. We were all learning in the beginning so we hadn't really figured structure. Over time, our code organization has changed -- which means, unfortunately, the various apps in our code base are not very consistent, and as we continue to add functionality, we are constantly refactoring, and trying to improve the structure. Daniel Östling19:11:20 Thanks @seancorfield 🙂 Yeah, I’ve been doing “hexagonal design”/DDD in other languages, I guess that could work in Clojure as well. A weekend of Clojure and i feel very overwhelmed still dont know how to create a working programm even if its only say hello and work as a very unnecessary calculator 😄 I am reading the "brave Clojure" book. are there more practical examples out there? Hi @U01EENTKD0C do you have a REPL working? Since you say you are using Brave Clojure, I presume you have lein installed? If so, does lein repl give you a usable REPL? Just trying to figure out where you are in your journey. @U01EENTKD0C I had the same problems initially, and it turns out that my initial idea "I'll learn the basic Clojure stuff and jump directly in trying to create a CRUD App" did not work at all. It takes some time to learn the language itself and the best baby step after figuring out the basics is to implement "data" only programs (such as algorithms and stuff) to get acquainted with the collection library. Once you're there, you'll likely understand what more and be able to write a web app with Pedestal for example. Ultimately, although the Clojure for the brave is a good book, it did not help me that much. What really helped me was this video: I hope that's gonna help in your journey! 🙂 @U0AT6MBUL i have leiningen installed and working. Lein repl and cider repl in emacs also working. I am basically trough chapter2 of brave. And was able to create simple stuff like enigma decription in repl etc. Rly only simple stuff. But still not sure where to go from there @U015VUATAVC thank you for your advise i have the feeling brave is more like a reference book which is also good to have in the beginning, but yah i will take a look into the video. @U01EENTKD0C So I probably misunderstood your question. I thought you were having problems writing something simple. So, I presumed it was because your setup was not complete. It now sounds like you have the setup just fine, and are looking for what to do next. In that vein, what @U015VUATAVC says is good advice. If you're not already experienced in functional programming, then writing functions that can be composed together is a good next step. Previous expose to OOP can be detrimental since it causes you to un-learn some habits in order to do good FP. Most of my programming is just functions which I just call from the REPL. The only time I ever make a stand-alone command-line program out of the function is when I need the function to be run by someone else who is not familiar with a REPL and does not want to learn about the REPL. If you have not already, you could try reading/watching articles/videos about REPL-driven-development. You can start at and for other resources. FP/REPL are sometimes harder to learn because of previous exposure to OOP. But, once you persevere and get to the ah-ha moment, you will be changed! If I'm telling you things you already know, you can ignore me 🙂 Is there an integer division function in Clojure that truncates towards negative infinity (rather than towards zero, as quot does)? I found a StackOverflow question via a quick Google search that links to this Java method that may be of use to you: Google search terms I tried: java division round to negative infinity I am not aware of anything built into Clojure that does what you wish. Awesome thanks, I’ll take a look… I didn’t think to look at Java 🙂 I believe that Java's integer division also rounds towards 0, which might be the reason that Clojure's quot does so. 👍 3 Even in Java, it's a fair bit of work, depending on whether you need it to work with long as well as int. (based on that same SO answer that Andy found) There is also a variant of the floorDiv method that takes primitive long args instead of int: Well the best I could come up with prior to asking here was (int (Math/floor (/ x y)))floorDiv feels marginally less painful 🙂 I would guess there are versions for float and double args, too. The Java math libs are pretty extensive, even the stuff that comes with every JDK without requiring a separate Java lib. If you go for 3rd party Java libs, it gets even more huge. 👍 3 Many thanks for the help… I really appreciate it 🙂 I'm coming to Clojure from Django where I've learned to love the ORM. What is the recommended approach for using SQL in Clojure? Is something like Toucan the right place to start? I don't believe there is a single approach (no sliver bullet... and why would there be?) - if you want to use SQL code - if you want to write Clojure data structures rather than SQL - aims to make a clean separation between Clojure and SQL code. An toucan is already mentioned in your question. which as is says is as close as it gets to ORM without the O @U05254DQM You shouldn't really recommend these days. I'm not updating it any more. pasted the wrong link... @randumbo Since we don't have objects, we tend not to use any sort of ORM in Clojure. seancorfield23:11:18 is the best JDBC wrapper to start with. You'll see in a lot of books/tutorials (which I also maintain), but that isn't getting updates any more. There's a #sql channel where you can ask SQL/JDBC-related questions. If you want to work with SQL in .sql files, take a look at HugSQL (which also works with next.jdbc and If you want a DSL to programmatically build SQL from data structures, take a look at HoneySQL. There are #hugsql and #honeysql channels for those too. Which approach would you recommend, of those two? At work, we use HoneySQL very heavily because we have a lot of complex queries that are built programmatically. Some people like to keep all their SQL in separate .sql files which is why I mentioned HugSQL. Do those tools have protections against low-level stuff like injection attacks? What are your thoughts on Toucan? It says it's built on HoneySQL, although still seems to use I think it adds a layer of unnecessary complexity, personally. Understood. I get the sense that it's against the Clojure way. I'd definitely recommend starting with basic libraries so you understand what's going on and then composing the libraries you like best. Choose simple over easy. Looking at HugSQL, it's a bit concerning that it doesn't look like it's actively maintained. Last commit was Sept. 30, 2019. I've worked with a lot of ORMs in other languages -- dating back to full-on object databases in the '90s -- and I much prefer Clojure's approach. @randumbo You'll get used to a lot of Clojure libraries seeming to be "unmaintained" -- Clojure favors small, composable libraries, that tackle one problem and therefore can often be "done". Backward compatibility is also very important in Clojure, so don't be put off by pre-1.0 versions, or things seeming to stay alpha for a long time 🙂 heh, I've read that in many places, but I still find it kinda hard to believe. Daniel Östling08:11:45 It’s true for many Common Lisp libraries as well. At work, we started with Clojure 1.3 and went to production on alpha 7 or 8. We've run pretty much every release of Clojure in production in alpha versions. Stability is important in the Clojure world. If I don't need complex queries for now, would HugSQL be a better choice for the time being? (we're running Clojure 1.10.2-alpha2 in production right now with 1.10.2-alpha3 in QA and 1.10.2-alpha4 in dev) Start with just next.jdbc and see how you get on. If you decide you prefer your SQL in external files, then take a look at HugSQL. It's not an approach I like, so it's not really my place to recommend you do or don't use it. Going to have to brush up on my SQL a bit. Been a while since I've written raw SQL. For simple CRUD, you won't need it: next.jdbc (and can save hash maps to tables without SQL and read them back. I'll do so anyway, but that's good to hear. (next.jdbc.sql/insert! ds :table {:name "Sean" :country "USA"}) for example (next.jdbc.sql/get-by-id ds :table 123) (defaults to using :id but you can override that) -- returns a single hash map (next.jdbc.sql/find-by-keys ds :table {:country "USA"}) returns a vector of hash maps for everyone WHERE country = ? and "USA" as that parameter. Looks pretty straight forward indeed. Thanks @seancorfield, I'm going to work on integrating that into my Fulcro project on the backend.	<urn:uuid:ed0b03bf-cb9a-4a8f-9200-4e54f21c8c20>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.16517895460128784, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9368675947189331, "url": "https://clojurians-log.clojureverse.org/beginners/2020-11-08/1604877962.376900", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs6-021291853", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_06_of_10/part.347.parquet" }

Sunday, February 14 Hongdae Guide If you are just visiting the layout of Seoul can be a bit confusing. Head in one direction and you end up on a street with nothing but cafes, another direction only clothes, all while the alleyways twist and turn with sprinklings of tiny shops. Hongdae is known for it's clubbing scene and lots of all-you-can-eat/drink restaurants. If you can't tell, Jay and I aren't exactly the clubbing type so we wanted to share a few of the great places we like between Hongik University station and Sangsu station. 1. CoffeeLab - great espresso based drinks 2. Zombie Coffee - best for pour overs and lattes 3. 5 Extracts - great pour overs and specialty drinks 4. Molly's Pops - ice cream based popsicle, try the milk tea or makgeolli 5. 신선설농탕서교점 Seolleongtang - a chain restaurant that serves oxbone soup and great kimchi 6. Paul & Paulina - french style pastries and bread 7. 옥상달빛 Rooftop Chicken - delicious garlic fried chicken, one order is enough for 2 8. The Beastro - new american bistro, a little pricey but worth it 9. Fell & Cole - ice cream shop with inventive flavors Select Shops: 10. Style Nanda - for 3CE cosmetics, fun colors and nice finishes 11. 호미화방 - a fantastic art store that carries almost anything you'd need 12. Åland - international and local designers, this location has 6 floors 13. Gentle Monster - high end eyewear, store space changes monthly with a new art concept 14. Object - great for gifts: jewelry, cards, phones cases, magazines, homewares 15. Mustoy - draw on a ceramic toy of your choosing, comes with a drink and no time limit 16. Vault - escape room, dine in the dark, and drinks In addition to the places listed there are also streets packed with shopping (as highlighted in the map in pink). Often these filled with single shops and a few chains. I'd recommend looking around at a few of them before you make your purchase because they often carry the same items at varying prices.	<urn:uuid:1486c64a-1474-402e-ab7d-0e77fea7b890>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.07132154703140259, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9023641347885132, "url": "http://jayandelle.blogspot.kr/2016/02/", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-196586140", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.1149.parquet" }
Women Probiotics Women Probiotics How to Tell When Leftovers Go Bad refrigerator, leftovers, foodShould you throw moldy bread in the trash, or just trim around the green spot? Can Sunday's leftovers be Friday's meal? Scientists have developed methods to detect food spoilage, but until these are available on a mass scale, food science and safety experts have some tips. First -- slimy, stinky, spotty or chunky changes in food don't mean very much in terms of safety. It may not taste good, but that doesn't mean it's going to make you sick. That’s because there’s a difference between what food scientists call spoilage bacteria and pathogens. Spoilage bacteria form into slimy films on lunch meat, soggy edges on vegetables or stinky chicken. But the pathogens that do make you sick are odorless, colorless and invisible. Since consumers can't count on looks or smell, instead use the rule of four: no more than four days at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees centigrade. (Freezing fresh food at zero degree Fahrenheit will keep it safe indefinitely.) Forty degrees Fahrenheit buys people three days for safety with raw chicken and ground beef, three days with cuts of beef and lamb, and four days for leftovers. Allowing anything to go above the cold 40 degrees along the way from store to frying pan can make the difference between illness and safety -- and about 25 percent of refrigerators in the United States are kept at too high a temperature for safety. Be sure to check yours. Dr. Mercola's Comments: It’s important to know when food is safe to eat and when it’s really bad not only from a health perspective but also from an environmental and ethical one. There is an incredible waste of food in much of the world as it is, and we certainly don't want to get rid of food that's still perfectly safe to eat. Case in point, a new report authored by the Stockholm International Water Institute, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and the International Water Management Institute found that half of the food produced worldwide is wasted! Specifically, in the United States, for instance, as much as 30 percent of food, worth over $48 billion, is thrown away. "That's like leaving the tap running and pouring 40 trillion liters of water into the garbage can -- enough water to meet the household needs of 500 million people," says the report. Further, it’s been estimated that at least half of the food thrown away in homes and restaurants across the United States isn’t bad and could easily be consumed. Often, it’s things like bread, cheese, fruits and veggies that get tossed, just because of a small imperfection or spot of mold. As ABC News pointed out, a little bit of mold or a bad spot here and there isn’t likely to make you sick. It’s perfectly safe to just cut the spot out and eat the food. Even foods that smell slightly pungent or feel a bit slimy probably haven’t gone bad. Instead, it’s the bacteria that you can’t see, smell or taste that could make you sick. And since there’s really no way to tell whether your ground beef contains dangerous levels of E. coli or another illness-causing bacteria, the best method for keeping your food safe has nothing to do with your refrigerator … it has to do with the source of your food. Try to buy as much of your food as possible from small, local farms where you can personally inspect the conditions. Food that is grown on a smaller scale is typically safer than those mass-produced, and organic foods have also been shown to contain lower levels of bacteria like salmonella than conventional foods. Now, assuming you already buy the majority of your food from a safe source, how can you determine if it’s spoiled or not? I like the “rule of four” from ABC News, which suggests keeping food no more than four days at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (or 4 degrees centigrade). This means, though, that you need to put a thermometer in your refrigerator and check to make sure it’s cold enough. This is an important step, as 25 percent of U.S. refrigerators are kept too warm to keep your food safe. What Else Impacts Food Spoilage? Temperature and age of the food are probably the biggest factors, but that’s not to say they’re the only ones. For instance: • Putting leftovers away in a big clump may also promote food spoilage. This is because the food at the center of the mass will take longer to cool, which means bacteria will continue to grow even after it’s in the fridge. • Vegetable oils, such as those in mayonnaise and salad dressing, break down over time and turn rancid. Though you may not notice this change the rancid oils can cause damage in your body. You should also be cautious of most salad dressings as they are loaded with unhealthy oils, typically vegetable or soy oils. • If you leave leftovers or any food out too long, it will speed spoilage. Two hours is generally the max they should be left out, though the sooner you refrigerate them the better (remember to factor in the time it takes to drive back from the grocery store, and the time it takes you to unpack your groceries). How Long Will These Common Foods Last? Not all foods go bad after four days in the fridge, and some might not even last that long. Use your own judgment and if in doubt, it’s probably best to throw it out (particularly if your immune system is not up to par). However, here are some common foods along with estimates of how long they typically last in the fridge: • Butter: 1-3 months • Milk: 5 days • Eggs (fresh): 3-5 weeks • Ground beef, ground turkey, chicken and fish: 1-2 days • Beef steaks and roasts and pork roasts: 3-5 days • Cooked or uncooked veggies: 3-5 days • Leftovers: 3-4 days • Mustard, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce: use within 1 year of opening • Salsa: 1 month • Ketchup, peanut butter and jelly: 6 months To maximize how long foods stay fresh, be sure to leave enough space between refrigerated items (if your fridge is too packed, it may make it harder for the cold air to circulate). Of course, the fresher your foods are to begin with, the longer you can expect them to last as well. Ideally, choose the freshest foods you can find, and eat them as soon as possible, as some foods, particularly vegetables, lose nutrients after they’re harvested. Minimizing Your Risk of Getting Sick if You DO Eat a Spoiled Food Sooner or later, you may eat something that has good bad or is contaminated, but this doesn’t mean you have to suffer the wrath of food poisoning. If your immune system is healthy you will be able to fight off the bug without it causing any serious problems. For a comprehensive review of how to improve your health and immune system please consider my book Take Control of Your Health, but for now here is a summary of how to keep your immune system strong: In the event that you do come down with a case of food poisoning, high doses of an effective probiotic will frequently be able to neutralize the infection and speed up your recovery. Last year I came down with a salmonella infection and after a high dose of probiotics it was gone within 24 hours, so I can personally testify as to how effective this strategy is. + Sources and References	<urn:uuid:89b01d6c-4351-4fc0-906b-7543ecfc6f3e>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.025931954383850098, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.943415641784668, "url": "https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/02/how-to-tell-when-leftovers-go-bad.aspx", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs3-256572349", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_03_of_10/part.439.parquet" }
Season 3 Episode 16 Aired Friday 10:00 PM Feb 16, 2007 on CBS Episode Recap Opening Numbers: Two fighters are in a boxing ring, sparring. One obviously gets the upper hand and corners the other fighter, punching him again and again. A trainer yells at him to stop, but he doesn't quit throwing punches until the trainer comes in the ring and physically separates the two. He asks if the loser, Munson, is alright, but the man collapses. At first, they think he's kidding, but then the trainer realizes that he doesn't have a pulse. Charlie and Amita are playing poker alone, at Charlie's house. Amita wins the hand, and Charlie gets frustrated because he thought that he would win, because the percentages were in is favor. Amita tries to cheer him up by saying that Alan was out of town and they were alone. Charlie smiles and is about to kiss her when the doorbell rings and then Alan walks in. They ask him why he's in town, and Alan says he caught an earlier flight. Realizing he interrupted something, Alan offers to leave, but Amita says to join them for dinner, because Charlie always orders too much. Alan agrees, completely missing the glare Charlie sends his way. David shows up at the gym, having received a call from LAPD. The lead detective tells him that the suspect dropped his name. When David hears the fighter's name, Ben Ellis, he is obviously shaken. He tells the detective he knew Ben a long time ago. David asks why the victim's death is being treated as a possible homicide, and he is told that the ME thinks there might have been poison in his system. He asks why Ben is a suspect, and finds out that another fighter, Octavio Lopez, died in the ring with Ben six months ago. David goes to talk to Ben, and he swears he didn't kill Munson or Lopez. David is skeptical, especially when the detective comes back to say that someone heard Ben threaten the victim that day. David enlists Charlie and Amita's help to narrow down the list of suspects, and they find that the only thing connecting the two dead fighters is that they were both fighters. They also realize that with the two of them dead, Ben moves up in the ratings. However, Charlie's concentration is soon taken away from the case because he is practicing poker to take Larry's place in a Texas Hold 'Em competition. Larry has won this part of the tournament 5 years in a row, and Charlie wants to make sure his seat is waiting for him when he comes back. One of Cal-Sci's bio-chemists, Professor Stanley Novich, desperately wants Larry's spot at the tournament, and does everything in his power to psyche Charlie out as he prepares to play. He even goes so far as to "skunk" Charlie's office, forcing him to have all of his meeting at his house, and use Amita's laptop for his work. Meanwhile, the test results for Munson and Lopez come back, and it is discovered that they were both killed by a poison called 1080, a form of sodium flouroacetate. The drug causes cardiac arrest. Claudia in the FBI morgue tells David that Munson had an allergic reaction to it in his mouth, but all of the water bottles in the gym come back negative for the poison. One thing that doesn't come back negative is Ben's locker and gym bag. A warrant is sworn out for his arrest on both counts of murder. David is so mad at him that he takes Colby and decides to arrest him himself. However, Ben gives them the slip and escapes custody. Don is frustrated that David is being so affected by this case, and asks if he needs to step away. David says no, but opens up to Megan about why he and Ben are so mad at each other. It turns out that when David, Ben, and Earl were kids, Ben and Earl went to a burger joint where Earl's girlfriend worked. Ben started a fight with a guy and in the process, a gun is pulled and Earl was killed. Megan responds, "And you blame Ben?" "So did the State of New York," he says. Ben served two years in youth detention. When Charlie figures out how to find Ben by using his call log, David and Colby take a team to pick him up. Ben pushes David, but Colby backs him up and Ben is taken into custody. During his questioning, Ben says that he's not the only one who could benefit from the deaths, but David doesn't want to hear it. He stalks out, and Don goes to talk to him. Don tells him about a time when he put the wrong man in prison for ten years. He says not a day goes by when that doesn't come to mind, so David should make sure of Ben's guilt before he throws away the key. That conversation gets David thinking, and he gives Claudia a sample of Ben's DNA to check against the DNA on the gym bag. If it's not his, it was planted. She calls him back, and shows him that the test results are negative-it's not Ben's bag…he was framed. With Ben cleared, the team is back to square one, until Ben tells them that rankings aren't the only things in play for the title. Alston, the head of the league, ultimately decides who fights who. With this new information, Charlie and Amita head back to the math and come up with some startling results. They realize that Alston has not been playing fair-he has been pitting one particular fighter, Bainsworth, against people who were sure to lose to him so he could make it to the final fight against Tino Alvez. That fight is supposed to bring loads of money in through Pay-Per-View, and would help bring the league out of debt. The fight had to happen between Bainsworth and Alva, or Pay-Per-View could pull their support. The team realizes that Alston had the two fighters killed because they may have been able to beat Bainsworth. Meanwhile, with Ben out of jail, he's next in line to fight Bainsworth. They realize he's in danger, so David and Colby go off to warn him. Megan and Claudia frantically search for the means by which the poison was delivered, and finally figure out that it's in the mouthpiece. Megan tries to call David, but he doesn't answer his phone. David and Colby have technicians check all of the water bottles in the gym and finally let Ben go fight. Ben puts his mouthpiece in, and wins the fight in the first round. David confronts Alston, telling him they found the mouthpiece, and he was under arrest. Ben will now go to the championship against Alva. Ben and David put the past behind them, and Ben admits to David that Earl was really the one who started the fight that day, and he was just following his lawyer's advice when he said he did. The two leave each other on good terms. The episode ends as Charlie and Stanley are the last two people left in the poker tournament. Between Alan, Megan, and some security cameras, Charlie has figured out Stanley's tell. He had some of Alan's friends come in the middle of the night and drywall Stanley's office door shut, then paint it the same color as the wall, effectively making his office disappear. Then, he watched what Stanley did when he was agitated. Thanks to that practical joke, Charlie notices Stanley's tell and beats him in the last hand, securing Larry's spot in next year's tournament.

US oil settles down 70 cents, at $33.27 a barrel Chinese laborers repair an oil pumping unit at Huabei oil field. Getty Images Chinese laborers repair an oil pumping unit at Huabei oil field. U.S. oil lurched to new 12-year lows before paring losses slightly on Thursday, with some traders betting a rout triggered by fears over China demand and swelling U.S. stockpiles had run its course, for now. Global benchmark Brent crude fell as much as 6 percent to nearly $32 a barrel, its lowest level since at least April 2004, as another free fall in the Chinese stock market rattled investors already concerned by the world glut in crude. But by midmorning trade in New York, Brent pared those losses as some traders took profits after prices slid nearly 14 percent in four days. "I'll say it's oversold on a short-term basis, though I am an oil bear," said Tariq Zahir, who trades mostly longer-dated spreads in U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) for the Long Island, New York-based Tyche Capital Advisors fund. "There's covering and also some panic buying in an attempt to support WTI at above $32." Brent was 45 cents lower at $33.78 a barrel after sliding during European trading to a low of $32.16, a level last seen in April 2004. WTI settled down 70 cents, or 2.06 percent, at $33.27 a barrel. Both benchmarks briefly traded higher as well. China allowed its yuan currency to slip on Thursday, sending regional currencies and stock markets tumbling globally. Stock market trading was suspended less than half an hour after opening after sharp falls triggered a new circuit-breaking mechanism for a second time since its introduction this week. The crash raises the risk of slowing demand from the world's No. 2 oil consumer, threatening to prolong an over year-long supply overhang. How is cheaper oil impacting the US? How is cheaper oil impacting the US? "For sure, a minus 7 percent for oil over two days on just China, and a blowup of the whole macro trade, was not something I was expecting to see in the first two days of the year," said Doug King, fund manager in London for the $220 million Singapore-based Merchant Commodity Fund. U.S. government data on Wednesday showed a 10.6 million-barrel surge in gasoline supplies, the biggest weekly build since 1993, rattling investors already concerned by near-record production and massive stockpiles around the world. Prices also trimmed early losses after violence in the Middle East and North Africa offered a measure of support. A military training center in the Libyan town of Zliten was hit by a truck bomb, causing dozens of casualties, witnesses said, while dozens of air strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Oil's rapid fall has made a prediction that Goldman Sachs made last year that crude could fall as low as $20 a barrel seem less outlandish than it then seemed.	<urn:uuid:8fe1a70b-cbf6-4a13-a02d-072ba5dea382>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.029968082904815674, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.9647064805030823, "url": "http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/06/us-crude-edges-away-from-2009-lows-storage-glut-weighs-on-outlook.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs2-259303073", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_02_of_10/part.576.parquet" }
Kheper Home \| Buddhism Home \| Mahayana Buddhism \| Topics Index \| New or Updated \| Search The Vijnanvada Conception Of "Consciousness-Only" Vijnanavada gets its name ("consciousness teaching", or "Consciousness-ism") from its theory of a psychological emanation from an original universal consciousness (usually called the Alaya-vijnana). It is in fact the only Buddhist school that incorporated emanationist ideas; especially in later, Sinicized form. According to the Lankavatara Sutra, all the three worlds (of Desire, Pure Form, and Formlessness) are the result of subjective imagination (vikalpa). No external objects exist in reality; only consciousness [Chandradhar Sharma, A Critical Survey of Indian Philosophy, p.109], reality being "mind-only" (Cittamatra). A similarity can be pointed out here with the eigh-teenth century Scottish empirical philosopher Bishop George Berkeley, who argued that no objective physical reality exists at all; the world being a sort of collective dream, and God as the over-consciousness holding the whole thing together. Not surprisingly, in the materialistically orientated West, Berkely's philosophy (which came to be called "Idealism", although it has little in common with the Idealism (Idea-ism) of Plato) did not really catch on. In the Lankavatara, as with Berkeley, the consciousness in which all things exist is not in-dividual consciousness but Absolute Consciousness. This Absolute Consciousness (Berkeley's "God") is the immortal and unchanging consciousness that transcends duality, and is realised through transcendent Knowledge (jnana) [Dr Chandradhar Sharma, A Critical Survey of Indian Philosophy, pp.110-111]. It is variously termed the Alaya-vijnana (storehouse consciousness), Chitta (Mind), or Tathagata-garbha (Womb or Seed of the Buddhas - which is not an ontological reality but rather the potential or seed or cause leading towards enlightenment [Whalen Lai, "The Meaning of "mind-only" (wei-hsin): An analysis of a sinitic Mahayana phenomenon", Philosophy East and West 27, no 1; p.74]). The Alaya-vijnana is the universal storehouse consciousness, so-called because it is the repository of the vasanas, the impressions or tendencies carried over from past lives. As D. T. Suzuki ex-plains, "every act, mental or physical, leaves its seeds (bijas) behind, which is planted in the Alaya for future germination under favourable conditions" [D. T. Suzuki Studies in the Lankavatara Sutra, p.483]. Through the activity of vasanas, the seven individual consciousnesses - the five sense-consciousnesses, the manovijnana or mind-consciousness, and the klishto-manovijnana or "defiled mind-consciousness" - arise from the Alaya-vijnana like waves from the ocean [Chandradhar Sharma, A Critical Survey of Indian Philosophy, pp.111]. In the systematised Yogachara school of Maitreyanatha, Asanga and Vasubandu, the pristine Absolute Consciousness or Vijnaptimatrata is the Absolute Reality. Through individual Ignorance (Avidya), Vijnaptimatrata appears as the three vijnanas; viz: Alayavijnana, Manas or Klishto-manovijnana, and Pravritti-vijnana, by which is meant the six consciousnesses - the five sense-consciousnesses (seeing, hearing, etc) and the manovijnana or mind-consciousness - that make up mental and sensory reality [Ashok Kumar Chatterjee, The Yogachara Idealism, p.87]. Here the Alayavij-nana is no longer the Absolute but one of the facets of relative Consciousness; the repository of the vasanas or bijas. As Chatterjee explains, "none of these eight vijnanas is ultimate. Consciousness is disturbed owing to the impact of a wrong idea", and once this is eliminated and the agitation calmed down, consciousness "regains its eternal quiescence" [Ibid p.107]. There is the parallel here with (and obviously a derivation from an early form of) Samkhya, in which the purusha or consciousness-principle is distinct from the principles of nature and psycho-physical existence (or prakriti). The difference is that whereas Samkhya implies of multiplicity of consciousnesses, Yogachara, like Advaita Vedanta, refers to only one, which is also the underlying substratum of existence. It is not the case that Advaita influenced Yogachara however; more the reverse. In the Yogachara psycho-metaphysics, it is the Klishto-manovijnana, or Manas, that is the cause of the false idea of a separate "I" or self or ego. Through the intellectual activity (manana) of this "defiled mind-consciousness" the vasanas that are latent and indeterminate in the Alayavijnana are actualised, or come into consciousness, and take the form of objects of the senses [Ashok Kumar Chatterjee, The Yogachara Idealism, pp.102-3]. Creation is therefore cyclic. The Alayavijnana is the receptacle of vasanas or impressions from past vijnanas, and in turn generates further vijnanas through the ripening of vasanas [Ibid p.88]. The cycle of karmic forces and their actualisation is an infinite one, like the cycle of the tree and its seed [Ibid p.107]. In its sequence of vijnanas there is an obvious parallel between Buddhist emanationism (Vijnanavada) and Hindu emanationism (Samkhya) with its unfolding tattwas. But Vijnanavada or Yogachara replaces the Samkhyan dualism with monism by reuniting the disparate purusha and prakriti in the single Alaya-vijnana, but otherwise follows the Samkhyan ontology. As in Samkhya there is the emanation from an original but undifferentiated universal state (Alayavijnana = Prakriti = Buddhi) through the mediating state of separative egotism (Klishto-manovijnana = Ahamkara) to manifold phenomenal reality (manas and the senses).

Java Extension not installed properly I receive below error while installing java extension in cmd prompt with admin rights. Error #4:Installation failed. Try as below for your reference Hope this may help you I tried that steps also In cmd prompt I am not receiving any response. If it is installed we receive any message in cmd prompt? Hi @BNK, I think it depends on the installer version, more probably, you won’t get a “successful installed” message from the tools ran in the command line. However, if you are not installing directly to a path (ScreenScrapeSupport.exe /help for more info) the installer tries to add the extension to all the JRE registered in some registry keys, even if they are not on the system anymore. To confirm the extension has successfully been added to the JRE you want, navigate inside that JRE and be sure the 3 next conditions are true: 1. Inside bin folder there is a .dll file with the name UiPathJavaBridgeV8.dll (or _x64) 2. Inside lib folder there is a file called that contains a line similar to assistive_technologies=UiPath.UiPathBridge 3. Inside lib\ext folder there is a file called UiPathBridge.jar. @vlad.coteanu In comment prompt I received below response . Error #4:Installation failed What version of UiPathStudio are you using? @vlad.coteanu Uipath studio 2020.10.2-beta.4 Enterprise license Can you extract some logs by following these steps: 1. Download DebugView: DebugView - Windows Sysinternals \| Microsoft Docs 2. Add an environment variable called UIPATH_LOG_LEVEL with the value VERBOSE 3. Open debug view and run the installer again 4. Save the logs in a text file.

Ports 20H-21H are decoded by the PC's 8259A Interrupt Controller chip. This controller is initialized by the BIOS and there is rarely any need to perform I/O to these ports in application programs. The only common exception is seen when a program intercepts an IRQ interrupt (INT 08H-0fH) and does not pass control on to the normal INT handler. For instance, when a TSR traps a keystroke via INT 09H, you may need to send an "End-of-Interrupt" to the 8259. In most cases, it is wise to simply pass control down the line to the original interrupt handler and let it handle such housekeeping chores. In the following, the ICWs are Initialization Control Words. These are output in a particular order during system startup by the BIOS. The OCWs are Operation Control Words which may be output by IRQ handlers.

From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia (Redirected from Cultural) Jump to: navigation, search Hollywood is iconic for popular culture "[Culture is] the best that has been said and thought in the world" --Culture and Anarchy (1869) by Matthew Arnold There are two contradictory views of culture. The first holds that culture is the very best (see perfection) that a society produces, the second holds that culture is everything a society produces, even ordinary and ugly phenomena. Both views are right. But at the extreme ends, both high culture and low culture are minority cultures; the combined influences and the cross fertilization of both 'high' and 'low' culture constitute mainstream culture. In this sense, mainstream culture equals culture. --J. W. Geerinck This page Culture is part of the humanity series.1872 photograph of the western face of the Greek Parthenon This page Culture is part of the humanity series. 1872 photograph of the western face of the Greek Parthenon Illustration: Toulouse-Lautrec wearing Jane Avril's Feathered Hat and Boa (ca. 1892), photo Maurice Guibert Related e Kunstformen der Natur (1904) by Ernst Haeckel Kunstformen der Natur (1904) by Ernst Haeckel Early modern discourses German Romanticism English Romanticism Cultural studies In the United Kingdom, sociologists and other scholars influenced by Marxism, such as Stuart Hall and Raymond Williams, developed cultural studies. Following nineteenth-century Romantics, they identified "culture" with consumption goods and leisure activities (such as art, music, film, food, sports, and clothing). Nevertheless, they understood patterns of consumption and leisure to be determined by relations of production, which led them to focus on class relations and the organization of production. In the United States, "Cultural Studies" focuses largely on the study of popular culture, that is, the social meanings of mass-produced consumer and leisure goods. The term was coined by Richard Hoggart in 1964 when he founded the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies or CCCS. It has since become strongly associated with Stuart Hall, who succeeded Hoggart as Director. Cultural studies in this sense, then, can be viewed as a limited concentration scoped on the intricacies of consumerism, which belongs to a wider culture sometimes referred to as "Western Civilization," or "Globalism." From the 1970s onward, Stuart Hall's pioneering work, along with his colleagues Paul Willis, Dick Hebdige, Tony Jefferson, and Angela McRobbie, created an international intellectual movement. As the field developed it began to combine political economy, communication, sociology, social theory, literary theory, media theory, film/video studies, cultural anthropology, philosophy, museum studies and art history to study cultural phenomena or cultural texts. In this field researchers often concentrate on how particular phenomena relate to matters of ideology, nationality, ethnicity, social class, and/or gender. Cultural studies is concerned with the meaning and practices of everyday life. These practices comprise the ways people do particular things (such as watching television, or eating out) in a given culture. This field studies the meanings and uses people attribute to various objects and practices. Specifically, culture involves those meanings and practices held independently of reason. Watching television in order to view a public perspective on a historical event should not be thought of as culture, unless referring to the medium of television itself, which may have been selected culturally; however, schoolchildren watching television after school with their friends in order to "fit in" certainly qualifies, since there is no grounded reason for one's participation in this practice. Recently, as capitalism has spread throughout the world (a process called globalization), cultural studies has begun to analyse local and global forms of resistance to Western hegemony. Ambiguity of the word culture [t]he fatal ambiguity of the word "culture" itself--which simultaneously has an organic, biological resonance (growing plants, germ cultures etc) yet also signifies the antithesis of earthy natural-ness (the civilized, the non-instinctual, the artificial, the sublimated). --Simon Reynolds, Springerin, 2001 Some dichotomies Cultural history cultural history See also Unless indicated otherwise, the text in this article is either based on Wikipedia article "Culture" or another language Wikipedia page thereof used under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License; or on original research by Jahsonic and friends.

Let there be light, sound, fluids and quantum weirdness We love physics in all its forms, from new research on mind-bending concepts like quantum weirdness and spooky action at a distance to the science of sounds and fluids to all the forces that push, pull, stick and slip. Here we tackle the macroscopic, the subatomic, the strange, the cool, the groundbreaking and the obscure. The surprise finding was observed when the fluids moved through specially treated tiny tubes. Peter Gwynne, Contributor The hydrogen compound requires extremely high pressure to maintain its extraordinary properties. Charles Q. Choi, Contributor This year’s prize highlights "the darkest secrets of the universe." Yuen Yiu, Staff Writer Here's how researchers are working to harvest energy from unconventional sources such as falling droplets of water -- and the math behind it. Yuen Yiu, Staff Writer The merger occurred when the universe was half its current age, and it may have produced the first known black hole of intermediate size Charles Q. Choi, Contributor The elusive waves, once thought to be myths, are explained by the same math that's found in a wide range of settings. Yuen Yiu, Staff Writer For 20 years, scientists believed that gravity caused some popped bubbles to collapse; new experiments turn that understanding on its head. Meredith Fore, Contributor A glimpse into the history of the start of the atomic age. Karin Heineman, Executive Producer The idea of a nuclear bomb accidentally setting the entire planet on fire was once a fear shared by many. Yuen Yiu, Staff Writer This video animation helps to answer a puzzling shower thought. Abigail Malate, Staff Illustrator Science is an endeavor of trial and error. Can we find a better way to share the "erroneous" trials? Yuen Yiu, Staff Writer By overlapping materials with periodic properties, scientists can detect features otherwise too small to be seen directly.

Season 1 Episode 13 Aired Friday 8:00 PM Feb 26, 2002 on The CW • Trivia • Exactly how does Chloe end up grabbing the ledge when she gets pushed out by one of the three phase-shifting guys? The way she was pushed out, she was in a semi-sitting position falling backwards. Barring a ridiculously perfect backflip, she wouldn't have been able to catch the ledge yet does so while she calls for Clark. Just a tad bit impossible... • When the thieves look at the monitor and the one with the plastic arm says "Check this out", they walk to him. While they come to him, the guy's lips move again and form the "Check this out", but you can't hear any voice. • When the guys throw Whitney in front of the truck, the truck would have reached him way before he could have stood up. • How come after the truck hits Whitney it doesn't stop? It beeps its horn to try to get him out of the way and then hits him and just keeps driving. • The computer disk Clark is holding when he crushes it isn't a computer disk at all, it's a MiniDisc. It shows the number 74 on it which indicates a 74 minute MiniDisc. Why do this? A normal computer disk would have worked just as well. • The physics of a hyper-accelerated metabolism letting you walk through solid objects is a bit unclear. In the comics various super-speedsters can vibrate through walls, but the jocks and Whitney don't display any ability to actually move really fast. And how do they vibrate their clothes (but not the one guy's prosthetic arm)? • Quotes • Lex: (to Chloe) I look forward to resuming our verbal judo. • Clark: Chloe, you can't just go snooping around someone's house. Chloe: It's a mansion. It's designed for snooping. • Martha: Hi, Clark. What are you doing? Clark: (smashes some logs) Trying to make myself useful. Jonathan: Hey, son, we need firewood, not toothpicks. • Pete: Oh no, not the Kent 1,000-yard stare. • Clark: The question is, how'd they get inside? Pete: I don't know. Now stop channeling Chloe and come on. • Lex: You have no idea who you're dealing with. • Scott Bowman: I think I know why Luthor didn't file that robbery report. Check this out. Ten to one, the poster-boy for Rogaine doesn't want anyone to know that he's tapped into his daddy's computer system. • Clark: How're you feeling? Chloe: Like a million bucks... that was thrown in the washing machine and set on "spin". • Chloe: Well, I am perturbed with you, Clark. I'm also mad that you didn't put out the Chicago fire of 1871, or prevent the fall of the Roman Empire, making you directly responsible for the Dark Ages. • Chloe: Clark Kent, investigative reporter - has a nice ring to it. • Lex: You're a teenager, Lana. Mercurial doesn't do you justice. • Lex: Clark, you can't save the world. All you'll end up with is a Messiah complex and a lot of enemies. Clark: I saved you, didn't I? That turned out all right. • Lex: A man is judged by the quality of his friends. If the quarterback's with them, he'll have to face the consequences. • Chloe: You know, all this resting is driving me insane. These so-called "health-care professionals" just want me to stay in bed and eat jello. Clark: Those fascists. • Lex: Just remember boys--you keep my secret, and I'll keep yours. (pause) And If you don't, you'll find out you're not the only ones who can reach through walls. • Chloe: Ah, the sweet smell of freedom. Clark: Chloe, you were in the hospital, not Alcatraz. • Notes • Music: "1 A.M." by Beautiful Creatures, "New World Order" by Onesidezero, "Set It Off" by P.O.D., and "Perfect Memory" by Remy Zero. • Allusions • Derek: There is no telling how much jack he has got stashed in that castle. Cash, jewels, art, cars, you name it. If we'd gone downstairs we probably would have found the money pit where he swims in the stuff like that duck with the Irish accent. Scott: Uncle Scrooge. Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Scottish uncle to Donald Duck and a Walt Disney Character. Scrooge is extremely wealthy and stingy (he being named after Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens's Christmas Carol). Uncle Scrooge appeared in comics beginning in the 1940s, and starred in the 1980s animated TV show Duck Tales. In that show, Uncle Scrooge owned a "Money Bin," a tower full of his wealth including gold coins and other treasures, in which he would literally swim. No results found. No results found.

June 3, 2018 Winchester Anglican Church White Post, Virginia This is the front of the church facing Double Tollgate Road. You can see the newer part of the building from Routes 340 and 522 if you aren't busy looking at the dinosaurs on the opposite corner. 1. Lovely photo! Er... dinosaurs? 1. Yes, Dinosaur Land is on the opposite corner. 2. ...I can see how the dinosaurs can be distracting. 3. Pretty church. Makes for a nice black and white photo. 4. Fabulous Church, and I love the photograph in black and white. Ooooh, those dinosaurs! All the best Jan 5. Pleasant church, looks neat in B&W	<urn:uuid:318e0ef9-9261-4323-af91-1621e1d313d9>	{ "fasttext_score": 0.09530776739120483, "language": "en", "language_score": 0.950790286064148, "url": "https://webcroft.blogspot.com/2018/06/winchester-anglican-church.html", "nemo_id": "dclm-gs7-032711993", "file_path": "/checkpoint/comem/jacquelinehe/official_lingua/data/dclm_750b_dedup/data/dclm-dedup/global-shard_07_of_10/part.368.parquet" }
