warc | 202143 | Wine with dinner is a dining tradition that most, if not all, restaurant-goers already take part in. Pairing the perfect wine with your meal evolves and enhances both wine and meal alike. But can we get this same flavor elevation from Bourbon or rye whiskey? Absolutely!
Bourbon and rye have an abundance of unique flavors; chocolates, oranges, vanillas, spices, honey, caramel, char/ smoke, etc. This set of wildly new and exciting tasting notes open a plethora of new dining possibilities. And with any luck, by the end of this article, you will be trying these pairings with your next meal!
There are a couple of directions to start with when pairing Bourbon/rye whiskey with food:
Don’t be afraid to ask your server for tasting notes on both your Bourbon/rye whiskey and your meal. These complementary flavors add a depth and richness to the meal that will have you walking away saying “Wow!” every time.
Now that you are armed with Bourbon and dinner pairing knowledge, let’s give you some examples (accompanied by some of the best that Carson’s Food & Drink has to offer):
The Ribeye has some of the most intense flavors of any cut of steak as it is marbled with fat. Fat equals flavor.
As the ribeye cooks, the fat melts and falls onto the grill forming and coating the steak in a natural smokiness. This same type of smokiness is often found in Bourbons!
So now, what Bourbon do we recommend for such a full-bodied steak? Four Roses Single Barrel 100 Proof. The tasting notes of this Bourbon are complex, full-bodied, and compliment perfectly with our Ribeye. Take your time, enjoy every sip/bite, and take in that wonderful smokey combination.
Life doesn’t get much better than Carson’s Ribs and Rye Whiskey – and our regular guests would have to agree. So how do you improve our tender pork ribs, smothered in our signature Carson’s Sriracha Bourbon BBQ sauce? Carson’s Private Label Woodford Reserve Rye.
Rye whiskey has a lower corn mix and a higher rye mix that results in a hot and spicy finish, compared to the more mellow finish of a traditional Bourbon. The resulting flavor of our BBQ sauce paired with that natural spiciness of rye can’t be described: it has to be experienced. Next time you’re at Carson’s, you can’t NOT try this delicious pairing.
When the meal is over and you couldn’t possibly eat another bite, you know you’ll still have room for something this delicious; Butter sautéed bananas, rich caramel, Bourbon, banana liqueur, all topped on our house-made bread pudding. Oh yeah, and did I mention whipped cream? What could POSSIBLY make our bread pudding better? Jefferson’s Ocean Aged Bourbon.
This Bourbon is full to the brim with vanilla and salted caramel notes, which elevates our bread pudding to a whole new level. “Sea?” We knew you wanted dessert.
It feels like we all should have been pairing Bourbon with dinner a long time ago, right?
Pairing whiskeys or Bourbons and dinner opens up new and exciting possibilities at every meal. And, after all, aren’t new and exciting experiences what dining is all about?
Hopefully, this article has equipped you with the knowledge and excitement to try many new and amazing flavor combinations. Plus, Carson’s Food & Drink has well over 100 Bourbons and ryes, just waiting to get you started on your pairing adventure. Cheers! | 3,436 | 1,687 | 2.036752 |
warc | 202143 | ELSS have emerged as a compelling option as a tax saving instrument. The increase in exemption limit to Rs 1-lakh was good enough a trigger for the investors to flock towards the tax-planning funds and for the AMCs to launch these funds. In December 2006 alone, there were three funds that were launched viz. DSPML Tax Saver, Lotus India Tax Plan and HSBC Tax Saver Equity.
Some funds like Birla Sun Life Tax Relief '96 grew by 14 times in just one year. The fund, which was just managing assets worth Rs 21 crore in March 31, 2006 is now a Rs 309-crore fund. Birla Sun Life had acquired this fund from the erstwhile Alliance Mutual Fund in September 2005.
Funds like Sundaram Tax Saver, Magnum Taxgain, HDFC Tax Saver have also more than doubled in size in a year. The assets under management of tax planning funds, which were Rs 684 crore in March 2005, saw their assets zoom to Rs 5,089 crore in March 2006. Further in March 2007, the AUMs of these funds increased to Rs 8,417 crore, a rise of 65 per cent in a year.
No wonder then that ELSS funds have become a formidable alternative for investors to do their tax planning
The tax planning funds compare well with the diversified equity funds. While the former delivered returns of 51.76 per cent in 2005 and 30 per cent in 2006, the latter generated 46.72 per cent in 2005 and 34 per cent in 2006.
Magnum Tax Gain has become the largest ELSS fund in the country with an asset size of Rs 1,664 crore. The fund which until two years ago was just above Rs 80 crore saw its assets size swell to Rs 705 crore in 2006. The five-star fund returned 96 per cent in 2005 and 45 per cent in 2006. The fund's performance has propelled it into the number one slot in the ELSS category since 2004.
In terms of asset size, Magnum is followed by Reliance Tax Saver (launched in August 2005), HDFC Tax Saver (Rs 897.28 crore) and Fidelity Tax Advantage (Rs 707.74 crore). HDFC Tax Saver, which had ranked among the five star funds for quite some time, has slipped in its rankings. The fund, which was ranked number two in the tax-planning category in 2004 and 2005, stood at the tenth rank in 2006 among the 23 tax-planning funds.
Fidelity Tax Advantage, launched in January 2006, has also done well. Its one-year returns (as on April 12, 2007) stood at 13.74 per cent, much more than the category's average of 1.62 per cent. | 2,372 | 1,167 | 2.032562 |
warc | 202143 | Sustainable Vision
At Venues and Events International we are passionate about the future of the Planet. In a world where sustainability is ever more important we aim to stay ahead of the game and lead by example. As a business we have embraced the principle of thinking green in all we do – and we see it as our responsibility to share our knowledge and expertise with clients.
Sustainability Declaration
As a business we: • Have a Sustainability Committee, dedicated to promoting green initiatives both internally and to our clients • Are proud to have Greengage ECOsmart accreditation that reflects our commitment to sustainability…. • Run regular sustainability awareness training sessions for our staff • Act to minimise our carbon footprint… • Act to reduce waste and promote recycling and expect our suppliers to act in the same way • Support good causes by offering employees paid leave to work at a charity of their choice • Actively engage within the industry to promote a greener approach to meetings and events
For clients we: • Recommend “green” venues wherever possible • Promote highly sustainable virtual and hybrid meetings • Propose eco-friendly themed alternatives when planning events • Offer sustainable alternatives to event consumables, equipment and giveaways • Provide guidance on smart venue travel options to minimise carbon emissions generated by delegate travel • Can provide CO2 emission data for an event • Can provide carbon offsetting for events
How we implement sustainability into our events Advice for Clients on Sustainable Meetings - checklist Virtual EventsThe ultimate in environmentally sustainable meeting practice is to hold a virtual event. No CO2 emissions from travelling or a physical meetings venue. Advances in technology, along with an imaginative approach from your Venues and Events International events team, have created the opportunity for engaging events that get as close as possible to physically meeting. Hybrid virtual events, which combine part location-based meeting with wider access to delegates via streaming. Again this minimises the need for delegates to travel. Choosing the right venueWith sustainability increasingly “built in” to the fabric and processes of hotels and meeting venues you should be able to find one matching the eco-standard you are looking for. Venues and Events International has a detailed knowledge of eco-friendly venues including those that are certified ECOsmart and can provide help and advice. In addition: • Ask to see a venue’s environmental policy and any certification. • Select a venue that has good access via public transport. • Check whether the venue is able to offer vehicle charging points for delegates with electric powered cars. • Reduce the need for equipment transportation by considering a venue that provides its own technical equipment and support. • For team building events there are many venues that offer great opportunities for outdoor activities to make the most of the natural surroundings. Meeting Consumables• Choose a venue that prioritises sustainable food and beverage procurement such as local and organic suppliers. Look for vegan and vegetarian menus. • Choose fruit juices (like apple juice) produced in the UK. • Avoid use of plastic water bottles. Many venues now produce their own filtered water facilities, bottled for delegates and provision for filling your own water container. • Look for alternatives to flip charts like dry marker whiteboards. • Check if the venue offers digital, rather than paper-based, signage. • Select re-usable name badges that can be collected at the end of an event, and recycled. • Choose sustainable bamboo lanyards. • Consider eco-friendly alternatives to meeting giveaways like Beebombs (native wildflower seedballs that will create a wildflower habitat at home). Waste Reduction• If you require a pop-up or larger exhibition stand choose recyclable versions made from non-plastic materials. • Reduce paper use to a minimum by avoiding handouts and other paper-based materials. Where printed materials are needed, make sure they are double- sided. • Think about minimising use of all items that are single-use plastic. • Consider deploying electronic stage décor rather than single-use mouldings that can’t be recycled. For example, use plasma screens to display table plans rather than printing a foamex board that cannot be reused or recycled. • Meeting apps can replace the need for paper itineraries and handouts. • Make sure paper and cardboard recycling bins are available. • Don’t automatically provide paper pads to delegates. Many people now take notes on their portable electronic device. • Choose dining options that reduce food waste. • Distribute presentations electronically. • Distribute delegate feedback forms electronically. Minimising CO2 emissions• Try to minimise use of lighting (including high wattage stage lighting), heating and air conditioning. Choose meeting rooms with windows that provide natural light. • Assuming health & safety rules permit, actively promote the use of public transport for delegates travelling to the venue. Car sharing is recommended. • Consider offsetting the CO2 from your event with a recognised carbon offset scheme. • Encourage delegates to act sustainably – promoting energy and water efficiency.

warc | 202143 | Tire Rotation Guide What is Tire Rotation?
Rotating your tires means switching the position of the tires on your vehicle. Good tires are vital to keeping you in control of your vehicle; they play a critical role in transmitting and maintaining traction, absorbing shock, and reducing wear and tear on your vehicle. Volkswagen Parts Warehouse recommends that you rotate your tires every 5,000 miles.
Why is Tire Rotation Necessary?
The contact patch, or area where the rubber meets the road, will wear unevenly because of individual driving habits. For example, lets say you drive a FWD vehicle. The front tires will experience disproportionate usage because the vehicle is being powered by the front two wheels, producing uneven wear and tear. Depending on your drivetrain (AWD, FWD, RWD, 4WD), different tire rotation patterns are needed. By rotating tires, you are keeping tread depth uniform and maintaining equal traction across all 4 tires.
Rotation Patterns
Use your discretion when determining how to rotate your tires. Drivetrain specific patterns can give you an idea of which rotation is right for you, be sure to consider all factors affecting wear and tear prior to rotating.
How to Rotate Your Tires at Home
Before you're ready to start rotating, you'll need a car jack, jack stands, and a lug nut wrench. Once you're ready to go, follow these six simple steps:
Park your vehicle on an even surface, turn off the ignition, and engage the parking break. Loosen all lug nuts on all wheels, without removing any. Use car jack to lift the first wheel, place jack stand underneath, and remove tire. Repeat for all 4 tires. Once the tires are off, check air pressure, rebalance (if needed), check tread depth, or any other damage. Move to new positions. Place tire back onto mount, hand tighten. Lower vehicle from car jack, tighten fully with lug nut wrench. To ensure evenness, tighten in a star pattern by moving diagonally from lug to lug.

warc | 202143 | Abstract:Fiberglass woven roving masts are used in the construction of the vast majority of recreational vehicles today. The popularity of these types of rving
Fiberglass woven roving masts are used in the construction of the vast majority of recreational vehicles today.
The popularity of these types of rving systems is based upon their ability to withstand a wide variety of driving conditions and climates. They also provide added strength to trailers, in the form of sidewalls and cross boards. The materials have been tested for tensile strength and the best manufacturers of these systems are Flex-It, Strick, and Twin Engine. These manufacturers have continually improved their products for the needs of consumers.
The fiberglass woven roving, plain weave, for recreational vehicle repairs of car, boat, truck, pools, decks,crafts etc. is suitable for use with many epoxy, resin, polyester, and vinyl ester systems. This type of repairing material has a much higher R-value (rate of load-bearing) than that of other fiberglass blends. It also consists of smaller particles which provide increased strength and reduced penetration, due to its small internal diameter. It's low vapor transmission and high compressive strength allows it to have a relatively low temperature rise per square inch.
This type of fiberglass woven roving fiber is more difficult to manufacture than other similar fabrics. The raw materials required to manufacture this fiberglass are primarily hard plastic and carbon. The manufacturing process is achieved by spinning at very high speeds in low pressure, which helps to create large voids in the fabric. The void areas are called sags, and once enough material has been spun into the required areas, the material is then cured in low pressure, using a chemical solvent. This curing process produces a larger surface area for the resin, as well as providing greater strength and dimensional stability to the finished product.
This type of fiberglass woven roving is usually blended with another resin, such as vinyl ester or polyester to produce a single-product, highly conductive material, such as PVC. This material is then used to manufacture the final component. There are some disadvantages of using fiberglass woven roving as a component in a marine application. Because the component uses vinyl esters for its conductivity, some of the flexibility of the marine grade part is lost when the component is exposed to salt water, making this type of fabric less seaworthy than some other marine fabrics which do not contain vinyl esters.
This fabric may be mixed with plain weave resins for low cost, high conductivity, and greater ability to adhere to an acrylic coating. This method is often used as an alternative to thermoplastic mixes (which are low-density liquid resins), especially when mixing solid state plastics with resins. Since the component is mixed with the resin before manufacture, it is guaranteed that there will be no contamination between the two systems after they are blended together. Many marine applications do not need to use pure silicone (or other thermoplastic resins) since the mixed components provide the same conductivity properties.

The company is known for providing quality boat parts at a great value. You can go online and check out Lowes coupons and get the best possible price on your gsm fiberglass woven roving mat.

warc | 202143 | Why do we need protein?
Protein is a part of every cell in your body. The 21 amino acids that make up protein are needed for the repair, maintenance, and building of muscle tissue. As a fitness enthusiast, athlete, bodybuilder or someone who is trained with weight, you should be aware of your needs and the importance of protein.
How much protein do you need?
The most widely cited dietary reference intake suggests that the average sedentary adult needs 0.7575 to 0.8 grams of protein / kg body weight. It works up to about 0 grams of protein to maintain your current body weight and body fat percentage, the ratio of lean muscle to fat in your body.
If you are not an average sedentary person, and if you are a fitness or strength athlete or bodybuilder, you need enough extra protein to build and maintain muscle. The International Journal of Sports Nutrition recommends that participants in strength training should gain at least 1.6 grams of protein / kg or 0.7575 grams / pound, which means that 200 pounds of people need 1,150 grams of protein daily – the amount needed by two sedentary people!
Pounds: Weight in pounds 0.07575 = Recommended gram of protein Kilograms: Weight in kg 1.6. grams grams = recommended grams of protein How much protein per day?
The dietary protein available in your digestive tract and ultimately your bloodstream will increase your metabolic rate, increase the number of calories burned and reduce your appetite and the number of calories you eat. Protein is more saturated (filling / satisfying) than both fats and carbs and should be a part of every meal.
Protein as a percentage of total calories. If you currently track calories as part of a diet or meal plan like the Macros Diet, calculate your protein intake and consume protein in 2ories – 300% of calories. This ratio can boost your metabolism by increasing protein0 to 100 calories / day, in contrast to low protein diets.
In one study, protein was found to increase the feeling of fullness in 2 %% of calorie intake, and a 0% reduction in night snacking and a 60% reduction in restless food thoughts and cravings.[1]
In a similar study, women ate 441 fewer calories a day, increasing their protein intake by 300%. On average, 11 pounds was lost in 12 weeks, simply by adding more protein to their diet.[2] That is one pound of weight per week while increasing protein intake.
Good sources of protein
Easily available protein sources include meat, milk and eggs, and to a lesser extent beans, nuts and soy. Plant-based protein sources are generally considered “incomplete” proteins because they lack all the essential amino acids your body needs. Protein foods are needed by the body to provide these essential amino acids. Meat, milk and eggs are examples of foods with “complete” protein and are the best options.
Should you use protein powder supplements?
Your body does not store protein, so there are only proteins available to build or maintain muscle that you eat throughout the day. As an athlete, you need a constant supply of protein to repair and rebuild your muscles day and night, but for that you need to constantly prepare and eat food. Protein is often supplemented with whey and casein supplements needed for protein, with simple to prepare shakes. Use a simple shaker or blender, water, juice or milk or milk substitute, add an ice cube or two, mix, stir and drink.
Whey protein vs. casein protein
Protein powder (as a supplement) is produced from soy, egg, or milk by-products, whey protein and casein protein. Soy and egg proteins have unique negative factors. The most readily available and frequently used protein powders are dairy products, whey protein (fast-digesting) protein and slow-digesting casein protein.
Which protein powder to use?
The best option is a combination of both! Mix in a high protein shake before your workout and immediately after your workout to ensure a supply of available protein as well. Shake the casein protein an hour or two before bed and your muscles have a slow release of protein overnight.
Recommendations
To reach these recommended protein intake totals, whether total grams or percentage of total calories, eat small, consistent meals both containing protein, supplemented with protein shakes. Use both casinos, including V, to maximize muscle repair and growth. Supplement your protein whey protein shake during the day and build muscle with the late release casein protein in the evening.

Q: What is your understanding of policy impact?
I understand policy impact quite broadly. In our work, we tend to assume policy means public policy, which delimits a certain domain of responsibility belonging to governments on behalf of their citizens. In this sense, impact could run the gamut from influencing how a policy issue is framed, to outlining policy choices open to government, to implementing a policy or set of policies, to helping assess the effectiveness of that policy in achieving its intended outcomes. However, I also think of impact on other social actors whose decisions and behaviours have bearing - deliberately or not - on social, political, economic and environmental issues. Here I am thinking of private firms, civil society organisations or even individuals. While there may be no recognisable “private policy”, a researcher could nevertheless consider whether their research has had any impact on the ends that a public policy would have. So for instance, working to change how companies accommodate workers’ rights in global value chains, or seeking to influence the attitudes and behaviours of men in relation to violence against women. This last example may not at first seem like “policy impact”. But I would argue that it should, because even in private spheres (like households), there are issues of public concern (like women’s rights). In the end, I try to think about how research can help constructively address socio-economic, political or environmental issues.
Q: According to the donor’s perspective what do you think could be the parameters?
It very much depends on the donor. Some donors, particularly the bilateral donors, are more concerned with downstream impacts. This is both because they are interested in change and how to bring it about (although aren’t we all?) but also because there is immense pressure on them to demonstrate value for the taxpayers monies they are spending. This has led, in my opinion, to both a narrowing of what is considered impact, while at the same time increasing expectations of research and its ability to contribute to that impact. Other donors whose accountabilities are different (such as large private foundations) can afford to take a broader view of impact. But again, this varies between them.
Q: What are the innovative examples you have observed on institutions making policy impact?
There are so many I am always reluctant to highlight one or two. Our website is filled with Stories of Influence that show how the organisations TTI supports – including CSTEP - are making a difference and contributing to positive social change. Instead of particular examples, I will mention one innovative approach, and that is research which takes into account questions of research integrity and legitimacy. This normally means seeking the active involvement of people with a stake in the research process. IDRC considers approaches that incorporate these considerations as essential to the production of quality research. And while these approaches to research may not be innovative in the sense of being new approaches conceptually, they are too often not undertaken, and yet they can have significant bearing on the likelihood that the research findings will have impact.
Q: What are the latent opportunities you see on how institutions could make policy impact?
New digital technologies have really blown open the traditional, formal policy making process. They facilitate access to ideas, accelerate expectations of citizens and consumers and facilitate responsiveness to those expectations, change the nature of production and consumption, and change social relations in many ways. I think within these changing circumstances there are interesting opportunities for influence to be explored. For instance, using these technologies for communications and outreach (this is already happening but way more could be done) using them in the research process (e.g. crowdsourcing data collection), or even taking some of these changes up as policy-relevant research topics (e.g. how to bring internet access to the more than 60% of households that, according to the International Telecommunications Union, do not currently have access, and more importantly, what could such access facilitate?).
Q: Do you have any thoughts on the nature of environment that makes it conducive for institutions/organisations to effect policy impact?
Clearly, context matters (: http://www.thinktankinitiative.org/news/context-study-linking-think-tank-performance-decisions-and-context) but as has been noted elsewhere, this is a rather uncontroversial and unhelpful statement (http://onthinktanks.org/2015/04/20/context-matters-so-what/). And how you answer this question depends very much on your organisation, where you sit within it, and what you as an individual understand context to mean. But let me offer two thoughts on your question from my previous experience as a policymaker.
The first thought is how crucial it is to acknowledge the social nature of context and the importance of personal relationships within this. Organisations operate in a social environment, by which I mean ones that are constituted by social relations of all kinds that are governed by a whole range of overlapping social norms and values. Developing cordial and professional relationships on a personal level with those individuals that organisations seek to influence is an essential element in building trust, which plays a central role in the effectiveness of communication. Quality and timely research is important, but I believe having a foundation of trust with the intended audience helps accelerate the process of influence. There are risks obviously – cooptation being the most dangerous – but are manageable. Moreover, because the social environments organisations operate within are not fixed, what organisations do, and how they do what they do, can actually help change existing social relations for the better – or even help constitute new ones. These outcomes will be complementary to whatever impact they seek through their research outputs but I would argue the power that comes from the way an organisation is socially embedded should very much be borne in mind when conceiving organisational purpose and approach. Establishing and nurturing diverse, meaningful personal networks is part and parcel of this process.
My second thought on context is the opportunity that arises from “disruptive moments.” More often than not, this would be an unanticipated event that creates an opening for good, evidence-based ideas to gain traction. The collapse of the Rana Plaza Complex in Dhaka in 2013 and the aftermath is one example. The Centre for Policy Dialogue, through its “Post-Rana Plaza Collapse Civil Society Initiative”, not only galvanized action to sustain civil society monitoring of the promises for support for the victims, it was also able to use the moment to have a broader conversation with government and private sector actors on finding better ways of ensuring workplace safety and compliance with workers’ rights in the apparels sector of Bangladesh.
These thoughts are likely very familiar to those who manage Think Tanks, so I don’t feel like this is anything new but to the extent that they could be generalised, it might be as follows: be proactive in shaping the elements of your environment that you can control, and be ready to take advantage when the influences you cannot control create openings for you. | 7,643 | 3,416 | 2.237412 |
warc | 202143 | The British Isles contain an extraordinary diversity of habitats. Chalk uplands, saltmarshes, peatbogs and of course beautiful, mixed woodland. These, though, are not the natural state of affairs. Without any intervention our countryside would gradually revert to deep dark woods with, astonishingly, much lower biodiversity than at present. Woodland needs to be managed to retain it's variety, our glorious bluebell woods are not natural but the product of coppicing and clearing.
That, though, brings major benefits. Wood is a hugely valuable crop, and if managed properly, woodland can produce a steady, totally sustainable, supply of timber.
I source as much of my wood as I can locally, mostly from sustainably managed woodland in Herefordshire. Some trees have to come down because they are rotten. Some to open up the woodland to allow young trees to come through. Much of it has been cut for firewood. Pick carefully through any log pile and chances are you will come across some lovely spalted wood.
One of my favourite timbers is blackheart ash. This is a common discolouring of the ash heartwood and it makes for some beautiful and unusual wood like this bowl on the right. You can clearly see the darker blackheart grain juxtaposed with the paler unaffected wood. Blackheart is not thought to affect the properties of the wood, though it is not valued commercially. A shame as it can be stunning!.
Other spectacular indigenous woods are hawthorn, though it rarely gets big enough for large pieces, damson, oak and sweet chestnut. Fruit woods are great to turn as well, and beech is a much underated timber in my opinion.

warc | 202143 | About the Condition
The heel bone (calcaneus) is surrounded by a specialized envelope of fatty tissue called the heel pad. The heel pad has a certain sponginess or resiliency. It consists of multiple, specialized fat cells located in small compartments to maintain the cushioning of the heel during walking and standing. There are a number of ligaments that attach to the bottom of the heel. It is inflammation of these ligaments that commonly gives rise to a condition called plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis involves microscopic tearing of one of the ligaments that attaches to the underside of the back of the heel. It is a common condition and frequently present in women who are overweight. It is also associated with certain foot types as well as repetitive, strenuous activity that may cause bruising and inflammation of the back of the heel.
Symptoms & Diagnostic Process
Patients with plantar fasciitis typically experience heel pain in the early morning when they arise. As the foot is put down on the ground there is a sudden, searing sensation on the back of the undersurface of the heel.
The pain continues and as the foot stretches out a little bit with walking, some of the pain subsides. Typically this improves slightly, only to worsen again as standing and walking increase over the course of the day.
The diagnosis of plantar fasciitis is confirmed by very specific examination of the back of the heel related to the location of the pain under the heel. There is often a nerve that is simultaneously inflamed or pinched underneath the fascia. This can aggravate the pain even further.
Treatment Options
Plantar fasciitis treatment is designed to cushion the heel, stretch out the fascia and support the arch of the foot. The main treatment for plantar fasciitis involves cushioning the heel with a silicone heel pad.
Stretching exercises for the back of the heel are done on a regular basis, two to three times daily. Stretching out the foot at night using a specially designed night splint or brace maintains the foot in a straight up position. This prevents it from dropping down during the night.
The natural position of the foot during sleep rests the fascia, which then is subjected to vigorous stress again when getting up and walking in the morning. Keeping the fascia stretched at all times (but particularly at night) seems to help. If these methods of treatment fail, a cortisone injection into the back of the heel often will reduce the inflammation.
More than one cortisone injection is not a good idea because it weakens the heel pad and can even aggravate the condition. If none of these treatments are sufficient, the next alternatives are shock wave therapy or surgery.
Shock wave therapy is a unique treatment where a high frequency, ultrasound impulse is transmitted to the back of the heel to break up the scarring. (Similar treatments are used to treat kidney stones.)
Alternatively, surgery may be performed through a small incision on the back of the heel to release the plantar fascia and, in some cases, release the nerve that is pinched at the same time. The treatments are highly effective in relieving the chronic pain if cushioning, stretching and immobilization fail. | 3,234 | 1,443 | 2.241164 |

Mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) plays a key role in AD, and it is detectable at an early stage of the degenerative process in peripheral tissues, such as peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs). However, whether these changes are also reflected in cerebral energy metabolism and whether sex-specific differences in mitochondrial function occur are not clear. Therefore, we estimated the correlation between mitochondrial function in PBMCs and brain energy metabolites and examined sex-specific differences in healthy participants to elucidate these issues. METHODS: The current pilot study included 9 male and 15 female healthy adults (mean age 30.8 +/- 7.1 years). Respiration and activity of mitochondrial respiratory complexes were measured using a Clarke-electrode (Oxygraph-2k system), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were determined using a bioluminescence-based assay in isolated PBMCs. Citrate synthase activity as a mitochondrial marker was measured using a photometric assay. Concentrations of brain energy metabolites were quantified in the same individuals using (1)H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). RESULTS: We detected sex-associated differences in mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial complexes I, I+II, and IV and uncoupled respiration and electron transport system (ETS) capacity in PBMCs isolated from blood samples of females were significantly (p < 0.05; p < 0.01) higher compared to males. ATP levels in the PBMCs of female participants were approximately 10% higher compared to males. Citrate synthase (CS) activity, a marker of mitochondrial content, was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in females compared to males. Sex-associated differences were also found for brain metabolites. The N-acetylaspartate (NAA) concentration was significantly higher in female participants compared to males in targeted regions. This difference was observed in white matter (WM) and an area with a high percentage (> 50%) of gray matter (GM) (p < 0.05; p < 0.01). The effect sizes indicated a strong influence of sex on these parameters. Sex-associated differences were found in PBMCs and brain, but the determined parameters were not significantly correlated. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed sex-associated differences in mitochondrial function in healthy participants. The underlying mechanisms must be elucidated in more detail, but our study suggests that mitochondrial function in PBMCs is a feasible surrogate marker to detect differences in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism in humans and it underscores the necessity of sex-specific approaches in therapies that target mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract The entire world is being attacked by a pandemic outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or what we know as COVID-19. The Indonesian government policy of limiting the crowd of people when socializing affects various activities of young people at church, including in North Sumatera. This causes the psychological well-being (PWB) of the youth to be disturbed. Research shows Christian youths carry out activities such as wasting time on social media and online games that may lead to gambling (Jap et al., 2013) while neglecting their education, which is contrary to Christian teachings. Constantly pressured for neglecting responsibility and doing sins may affect PWB in youth, and forgiveness from God, their family and themselves may help increase PWB. Pre and post-test of PWB and forgiveness are administered. The instrument used is the PWB questionnaire based on Ryff's (1995) theory and TRIM-18 based on McCullough and Hoyt (2002). The subjects are adolescents and young adults aged 11-40 years in North Sumatera. Results show that both variables are high. There were differences based on participants’ educational background and whether or not the participants read the bible everyday in the PWB post-test data. As for the forgiveness, results show that there were differences based on educational background and occupation in the pre-test data, while in the post-test data, there is a difference based on how many times an individual reads the bible in a day.

"The only way that business can be hurt by a carbon tax is if increasing end-user costs reduce demand."
This is obviously the only reason for a carbon tax ie reduce fossil consumption+emissions/kill fossil based business and derived tax revenue ie profit/GST tax. Carbon tax will kill fossil based products and "should" do the same for demand of these products. What products will be left, which will be replaced, and how will these create enough revenue for government expenditure as we know it?
"There probably won't be dominant primary energy source due to geographical variations and the fact that not one type of energy can supply all our energy needs"
This might be true, however as you pointed out, baseload will still be required. In my view, Hydro and biomass (possibly location dependant geothermal) are the only ones that will be able to provide this effectively in the short term. Wouldn't it be wise to find a RE solution that is directly a part of the natural earthly carbon cycle, and the resource consumption of humans? Biomass has always fit this description, and I expect it always will. After all even fossils are claimed to have come from biomass.
"There is nothing intrinsic about RE that would make it not subject to tax."
So does this mean we have "no problem" in accepting that the government tax "free" natural energy resources? So how will the tax work? Tax rainfall for hydro? Tax air flow for turbines? Tax sunlight absorption? Or a shading tax?
Maybe by metering kWh? Good job Edison invented electricity meters so that corporations/governments can measure the "single" electron that coexists everywhere in space... Maybe thats why Tesla had a problem working for Edison? Tesla humanist vs Edison capitalist. I suppose it's no different from the good old English tax on windows...there it did the same I suppose, and drove us to live in miserable, dark and gloomy dungeons..;)
Our capitalist fossil driven economies must change, otherwise it will change us into something we don't want to be. But wait...hasn't that already happened?
We need a new economy structure (not capitalist) along with the RE engine, with a healthy dose of adequate, equitable and competent (government/corporate) driving, copy pasting what we are doing now won't help for long. The next crisis will just be "just around the corner". Foresight requires us looking outside of the vehicle to see were we are, and most importantly were we want to go from here. I suppose somewhere along the way we might have to ask if we are "worth" saving in the first place, given the way we treat our planet and fellow residents.
(PS Dym69, I'm not actually directly critising your comments, I'm merely trying to use them to display my views of the fossil to RE economic problems)

warc | 202143 | It’s never fun to receive a bill for utilities that’s much higher than you expect it to be. Fortunately, with apartment living, there are ways to keep your home cool while saving money. Riverside Park is committed to helping residents stay cool and comfy during the summer heat. Whether you choose to enjoy a movie in an air-conditioned theater or want to enjoy one of our great outdoor amenities, you have many options for staying cool and saving money.
Enjoy Our Outdoor Amenities
During the summer, avoid using your stove during the heat of the day. Instead, please take advantage of one of our fantastic outdoor cooking and BBQ spaces. Complete with grills and seating, you and your family can enjoy a great meal while keeping the summer heat out of your home. Enjoying outdoor amenities is apartment 101!
Rental-Friendly Ways to Cool Down Your Home
Most electricity companies recommend turning your thermostat to one temperature and leaving it there. That way, the air conditioner doesn’t have to work quite as hard to keep the home cool at night. Setting your thermostat to a higher temperature while you’re at work, then lowering it when you come home, can increase your electricity bill. You can also set it to automatic which will allow your device to turn off on its own once a certain temperature has been reached.
Local Attractions That Will Help You Keep Cool
Why not take advantage of the many shopping malls or indoor activities in your community to stay cool? Reno is home to the National Automobile Museum. So, what are you waiting for — Learn something new while enjoying the lower temperatures at the museum!
Riverside Park Apartments has many amenities that will keep you and your family entertained for hours. Whether you want to be indoors enjoying a fun activity or outside swimming in our pool, Riverside Park will help you beat the heat this summer! | 1,908 | 962 | 1.983368 |
warc | 202143 | It’s fair to say the extent of our beauty knowledge is directly proportional to some very questionable experimentation as teens. From the depths of tween magazines to hearsay from our peers, we traversed the land of kohl liner and patchy powder to emerge with a basic understanding of how to exploit make up to our advantage. Whatever your go-to face, our skills were built from basic foundations imparted upon us all- roughly what goes where, when and why.
Despite this commonality, one of the most invaluable and fundamental principles of make up falls completely by the wayside- colour correction. Knowledge of colour theory is rarely engrained in our make up education, and yet if your goal is to conceal, blend or enlighten, it’s exactly the skill you need to know.
If you’re anything like me, the sight of bright purple or green concealer sticks left me utterly confused at their (/my) place in the universe, and I would skulk off like a novice. Fast forward 10 years and I feel it’s my duty as a citizen of the earth to share this simple yet critical skill with you all.
The basic principle behind colour correction is to use those colours opposite each other on the colour spectrum (known as complementary colours) to neutralise one another. By this notion, any problem areas/colours will be ‘cancelled out’, leaving a seemingly well balanced, flawless complexion.
Colour correction is achieved by applying concealers
underneathyour foundation, allowing your foundation to even out your colour once problems have been omitted (no one wants a rainbow face…) Green
Green is opposite red on the colour wheel, and is therefore perfect for counter-acting the redness associated with acne and rosacea.
Yellow/Peach
To neutralise blue-purple under eye circles, bruises or dark spots, pick an orangey yellow concealer tone. This is also a general concealer colour ideal for equalising overall skin tone and disguising sun spots and freckles.
Mauve/Rose
Those with a fairer skin tone may find their under eye discolouration is more green-toned, which can be counteracted with a more red concealer.
Lavender
Purple concealers disguise yellow bruising and sallowness, as well as dark spots on more olive/bronze skin tones.
If a skin imperfection occurs across your whole face, coloured primers provide an ideal solution in unifying your complexion.
For such a simple and overlooked part of our beauty repertoire, you’ll be amazed at the results a few green and purple splotches will make to your face…

warc | 202143 | MILWAUKEE — Over the past year and a half, the scientific world has seen a steady flow of research updating what we know about the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and how it affects humans.
Because the virus is so new, researchers are still grappling with many questions about its function. And because of the nature of the scientific process, no single study can completely answer those questions. Instead, new research is constantly challenging our understanding of the pandemic.
Here, we explore some recent studies that have shed new light on the virus.
Antiviral pill shows promising results for treating COVID-19 infections
Doctors could soon have another way to help those who catch a coronavirus infection: A pill developed by drugmaker Merck cut the chances that new COVID-19 patients would land in the hospital by around half, the company’s clinical trials found.
Out of 775 patients who recently tested positive for COVID-19, those who received a five-day course of the drug molnupiravir — developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics — were hospitalized and died less often than patients who received a placebo, the companies announced in a press release last week.
None of the COVID-19 patients who took molnupiravir died over the course of the study, compared to eight patients in the placebo group, according to the release. Overall, around 14.1% of placebo patients were hospitalized or died, versus 7.3% of patients who took the real drug who were hospitalized.
Merck reported that the drug’s efficacy did not seem to be affected by underlying risk factors like obesity, older age or heart disease — or by viral variants, including delta. The company said it plans to apply for emergency-use authorization from the FDA “as soon as possible.”
If it gets approved, Merck’s pill would be the first oral medication to help fight COVID-19, which could be a game-changer for access to treatment. Other currently authorized treatments, like monoclonal antibodies, turned up higher efficacy rates in trials — but they’re harder to administer since they have to be given through IVs or injections.
“Antiviral treatments, that can be taken at home to keep people with COVID-19 out of the hospital, are critically needed,” said Wendy Holman, chief executive officer of Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, in a press release.
Molnupiravir — which gets its name from Thor’s powerful hammer, Mjölnir — works by inserting errors into the virus’s genetic code to stop it from making copies of itself. Patients take a series of 40 pills over the course of five days.
Federal officials said that the 50% efficacy rate was “very good news,” but that vaccination is still key to prevent people from getting sick in the first place.
“The right way to think about this is this is a potential additional tool in our toolbox to protect people from the worst outcomes of COVID,” Jeff Zients, a White House coronavirus adviser, said at a briefing last week.
Mask requirements meant fewer back-to-school outbreaks, CDC research finds
As kids across the country have returned to classrooms this fall, schools have been on very different pages about whether to require masks.
Now, a pair of recent CDC studies has found that those mask policies have made a big difference in COVID-19 spread.
In Arizona’s two biggest counties, schools that started the year with mask requirements saw a much lower risk of outbreaks, according to one study. Schools with no mask policies were 3.5 times more likely to have coronavirus outbreaks in their students and staff as the year got underway, the study found.
Out of 191 outbreaks linked to schools from July and August, the majority — around 59% — showed up in schools that didn’t require masks, the study found.
Only 8% of outbreaks happened in schools that required masks from day one. The other 33% came from schools that put mask mandates into place at some point after the year started.
A second study took a look at how school mask rules affected kids’ COVID-19 case rates in the surrounding counties. Researchers took a look at how pediatric cases changed in 520 counties across the U.S. following the return to school this fall.
In the two weeks after school got underway, counties with no school mask requirements saw COVID-19 cases in kids go up twice as fast as counties where schools required masks, according to the study.
Officials emphasized that especially since kids under 12 can’t get vaccinated against COVID-19 yet, masks are a key tool in preventing infections. The CDC’s K-12 school guidance recommends universal masking for students, teachers and staff — along with other measures like ventilation and testing.
“I would say that data actually absolutely show that masking decreases outbreaks in schools,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said last week, per CNN. “So with the purpose of keeping our kids in school, getting them in school, having them be safe, masks really are the way to go.”
Johnson & Johnson and Moderna say extra doses boost protection for their vaccines
Millions of high-risk Americans have already gotten a third dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to boost their immune protection against the virus.
For now, only Pfizer boosters have the green light from federal health officials. But extra shots of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson may be added to the mix soon, as the FDA’s advisory committee is set to discuss boosters for these other vaccines later this month.
Both companies have already said that another dose could help get to better and longer-lasting immune protection.
Last month, Johnson & Johnson published trial data showing that a second dose of its vaccine bumped up its global efficacy rate: The two-dose series was around 75% effective against any symptomatic COVID-19 and 100% effective against severe or critical disease, according to a J&J release.
For just the U.S. trial participants, that efficacy rate sat at around 94%, the company announced. That’s a significant jump from the original results, which found that one dose of the vaccine cut infections by around 66% globally and 72% in the U.S.
Booster doses also pumped up participants’ antibody levels against the virus, J&J announced. A second shot six months after the first led to a 12-fold increase in antibodies, according to the company’s release.
Moderna also released trial data last month supporting a booster dose of its mRNA vaccine. A third Moderna shot — half the size of the first two doses — helped boost patients’ antibody levels significantly, the company announced in a press release.
Antibody levels dipped in the six months after the initial vaccine series, the trials found, but a booster shot sent those levels back up to an even higher point than before. The higher antibody levels showed up across age groups, including older adults 65 and up, the release stated.
In a recent White House briefing, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy emphasized that getting guidance out for Moderna and J&J recipients was a “high, high priority.”
“Your health matters just as much as other vaccine recipients, and we want to make sure that your protection against COVID is strong and reliable as well,” Murthy said. “That’s why the FDA is working closely with Moderna and J&J to get and process their data as quickly as possible.”
U.K. tracking data find breakthrough cases have lower risk of long COVID-19
Both clinical trials and real-world data have been clear: COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of catching the virus, and especially of getting really sick.
But so-called “breakthrough cases” among vaccinated people still happen. And with more shots in arms, a key question has become: Are the vaccinated still at risk of the long-haul COVID-19 symptoms that affect many who survive the disease?
Now, a large U.K. study has suggested that vaccination cuts the risk of long COVID-19 for those who catch the virus — in addition to slashing the risk of getting infected in the first place.
“We found that the odds of having symptoms for 28 days or more after post-vaccination infection were approximately halved by having two vaccine doses,” researchers wrote in the study, which was published last month.
The study looked at symptom data submitted through an app by millions of U.K. adults who had gotten vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca shots.
Only 0.5% of adults who reported getting a first vaccine dose later reported testing positive with a breakthrough infection, the study found. And that share was even smaller for people who reported receiving both shots: Only 0.2% of them were later infected.
Some groups had a higher risk of catching a breakthrough case, the study found, including older adults, obese people and those living in lower-income areas.
These breakthrough patients were about half as likely to have long-term symptoms lasting beyond four weeks, compared to unvaccinated people who got sick, the study found. The vaccinated were also less likely to be hospitalized, or even report any symptoms, after their positive test results.
“Almost all individual symptoms of COVID-19 were less common in vaccinated versus unvaccinated participants,” the researchers wrote. “More people in the vaccinated than in the unvaccinated groups were completely asymptomatic.”
Other news to note:
A study from the U.K. didn’t find any problems with getting a flu shot and a COVID-19 vaccine at the same time. Hundreds of participants who received both shots in the same appointment showed no concerning side effects and no signs of lower immune protection, researchers found.
A recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll found a few key factors were driving the uptick in vaccination rates: Surging delta cases, concerns over hospital capacity and personal ties to someone who got very sick, or died from COVID-19 were the most commonly cited motivators for people to get their shots.
Life expectancy across the world saw a steep downturn during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study of 29 countries. For Western Europe, it was the biggest dip since World War II, researchers found — and for Eastern Europe, it was the sharpest dive since the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Kidney issues are proving to be another lingering problem for many COVID-19 survivors, according to a study of Department of Veterans Affairs patients. Former COVID-19 patients were around 35% more likely to have kidney damage or declines in kidney function, even if they only faced a mild coronavirus case. | 10,796 | 4,561 | 2.367025 |

Conducted in 2015, the study found a considerable and surprising link between the consumption of fruit and white vegetables, namely cauliflower, and a lower risk of stomach cancer.
The researchers arrived at this conclusion by looking at over 32,000 gastric cancer cases and assessing their respective diets. During the initial information-gathering process, they found sodium and alcohol, specifically beer and liquor, to be particularly high-risk dietary factors.
They then discovered that foods rich in vitamin C tend to have a “protective effect” against gastric cancer. Such foods tend to be fruit and white vegetables that include potatoes, endives, onions, and our favorite, cauliflower.
While we didn’t really need further reasons to enjoy the fibrous gem – hello, cauliflower pizza – the study serves as another reminder to continue using it in our recipes along with its fellow adaptable veggies.

warc | 202143 | famous type I mask price, you can visit tnkme.com official website.
The study demonstrates the power of careful investigation and offers a host of lessons about mask wearing that will be important worldwide. One key finding of the study, for example, is that wearing a mask doesn't lead people to abandon social distancing, something public health officials had feared might happen if masks gave people a false sense of security.
"What we really were able to achieve is to demonstrate that masks are effective against COVID-19, even under a rigorous and systematic evaluation that was done in the throes of the pandemic," said Ashley Styczynski, MD, who was an infectious disease fellow at Stanford University when she collaborated on the study with other colleagues at Stanford, Yale, and Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), a large research and policy nonprofit organization that currently works in 22 countries.
"And so, I think people who have been holding out on wearing masks because [they] felt like there wasn't enough evidence for it, we're hoping this will really help bridge that gap for them," she said.It included more than 600 unions — or local governmental districts in Bangladesh — and roughly 340,000 people.
Half of the districts were given cloth or surgical face masks along with continual reminders to wear them properly; the other half were tracked with no intervention. Blood tests of people who developed symptoms during the study verified their infections.
Compared to villages that didn't mask, those where masks of any type were worn had about 9% fewer symptomatic cases of COVID-19. The finding was statistically significant and was unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.
"Somebody could read this study and say, 'OK, you reduced COVID-19 by 9%. Big deal.' And what I would respond to that would be that if anything, we think that that is a substantial underestimate," Styczynski said.
One reason they think they underestimated the effectiveness of masks is that they only tested people who were having symptoms, so people who had only very mild or asymptomatic infections were missed.
Another reason is that among people who had symptoms, only one third agreed to undergo a blood test. The effect may have been bigger had participation been universal.
Local transmission may have played a role, too. Rates of COVID-19 in Bangladesh were relatively low during the study. Most infections were caused by the B.1.1.7, or Alpha, variant.
Since then, Delta has taken over. Delta is thought to be more transmissible, and some studies have suggested that people infected with Delta shed more viral particles. Masks may be more effective when more virus is circulating.
The investigators also found important differences by age and by the type of mask. Villages where surgical masks were worn had 11% fewer COVID-19 cases than villages in where masks were not worn. In villages where cloth masks were worn, on the other hand, infections were reduced by only 5%.
The cloth masks were substantial. Each had three layers ― two layers of fabric with an outer layer of polypropylene. On testing, the cloth masks filtered only about 37% of virus particles, compared to 95% for the three-layer surgical masks, which were also made of polypropylene. | 3,301 | 1,627 | 2.028888 |
warc | 202143 | Why is Calcium and Vitamin D so important to our bones and bodies?
Of all the vitamins and minerals our bodies need Vitamin D and the mineral Calcium are the ones that build strong teeth and bones. You will need calcium all throughout life. However the quantity of calcium you need will change. While as children calcium is essential in the development of strong bones and teeth as we age the amounts required decrease some. As we begin to enter our declining years our bodies once again require higher amounts of calcium to prevent the loss of bone which would then make us more suseptible to broken bones.
Our bodies store up to 99% of our calcium intake in our bones and teeth. The remaining 1% is in our soft tissues and blood. Our bodies will take neccessary calcium from our bones if we do not have a high enough intake from our diets or supplements. A diet high in dairy products that are fortified with calcium is still the best source of the needed calcium. Now that manufacturers
realize how crucial calcium is to our bodies they have began adding calcium to some of their products. Example: Orange Juice - Tropicana and other manufacturers now offer calcium fortified juice
. What foods other than dairy provide Calcium?
What foods contain calcium besides the popular dairy that we all know about? It may surprise you to know that there are a great number of foods that are non dairy which contain calcium. Oranges, sardines, soymilk, oatmeal, sesame seeds, soybeans, almonds, salmon, white beans, dried figs, greens such as kale, brocoli, tofu and sunflower seeds. Include these calcium rich foods and dairy in your diet daily to ensure a more balanced calcium rich diet.
If you include these foods and dairy in your daily diet and your doctor still has concerns that your calcium levels are to low. You may begin to suffer bone loss and your doctor may want to start you on a osteoporosis medication. Before that happens consult with your physician. There are many calcium supplements that are available over the counter that can be taken in combination with your diet to increase your calcium levels without the need for osteoporosis medications. Again you should consult your physician regarding your calcium levels before beginning any new medication even over the counter medicines.
What is Vitamin D's role in our bones?
Vitamin D is an essential element in helping our bodies absorb the calcium we require for our bones. It is recommended if you are under the age of 50 that your intake of vitamin D daily should be 200 i.u's, if your age is 51 - 70 your intake should be 400 i.u's, and once you reach the age of 71 your levels should increase to 600 i.u's. The average person can obtain the normal recommended daily requirements of vitamin D from 10 minute of exposure to direct sunlight three or more times a week.
Vitamin D rich foods include fish oil, herring, catfish, mollusks, salmon, oatmeal, shrimp, soymilk, mushrooms, pepperoni, pork, beef and bran flakes. Including these foods along with vitamin D rich dairy and sunlight should be more than sufficient to provide all your daily needs. However if your doctor has informed you that your levels are low you should discuss the level of supplement he feels you require as Vitamin D is a fat soluable vitamin and the maximum limit is 2,000 i.u's daily making any higher levels toxic.
Are there any other vitamins and minerals that help with our bones?
Vitamins B, K and the minerals magnesium and phosphorus all play their parts in our bones development and health. Vitamin D and calcium still remain the leaders in good bone health. If you are consuming a well rounded diet of the foods that contain all these vitamins and minerals in combination with sunlight and exercise you should be able to maintain good bone health. Vitamin D and Calcium still remain the leaders in overall good bone health. If your vitamin D and calcium levels are still low or you have concerns discuss them with your doctor and possible treatment actions to increase your numbers.
I hope you found this article informative and helpful. All your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Most participants at a public hearing supported the Beijing government's decision to increase taxi fares.
The hearing, held on Thursday afternoon, discussed the economic planning body's plan to address the taxi shortage in the capital.
Zhang Wei, an official at the Beijing transport commission, displays statistics at a hearing on Thursday on a possible taxi-fare increase. WANG JING/CHINA DAILY
Among the 25 participants, including lawmakers, political advisers, experts, taxi companies and drivers, only one participant opposed the reform plan, while the others said it was reasonable to increase fares, even though they had different opinions on how to achieve that.
On May 7, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform released two proposals for the pricing reform plan: Taxi drivers will charge 13 yuan ($2) for a trip up to 3 km, plus an additional charge of either 2.3 yuan or 2.6 yuan for every kilometer beyond that.
The capital's current taxi fare system — 10 yuan within 3 km and 2 yuan for every additional kilometer — has been in place since 2006.
Seven people, mostly taxi drivers and taxi company managers, support an additional 2.6 yuan charge for every kilometer beyond 3 km, while another 13 people, mostly consumers, said they preferred the 2.3 yuan additional charge.
Three other people suggested the government should keep the current 10-yuan charge for the first 3 km of a trip, or combine the two plans.
Wang Limei, secretary-general of the China Road Transport Association, said the taxi sector provides special transportation and currently faces many obstacles, so a higher fare was reasonable.
Wang also called for scrapping the fuel surcharge to create easy and clear charges.
According to government proposals, the current 3-yuan fuel surcharge will be reduced to 1 yuan.
"I still think that the government and taxi companies should provide more subsidies to resolve the taxi shortage problem, rather than letting consumers pay," said Wu Ting, a consumer representative in the public hearing.
Wu was the only person who disagreed with the pricing plan. But other people also criticized the plan and came up with many suggestions to revise it.
Du Liqun, a member of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, said the plan did not mention much about the responsibility of taxi companies.
The taxi shortage has been a problem in the capital, and many drivers complain that their income growth is lower than average in Beijing, making the industry less attractive.
The fare reform will mainly benefit taxi drivers, and each driver could earn an extra 1,400 yuan to 2,300 yuan a month, depending on the final plan, Lu Sufang, a spokeswoman for the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform, said in a previous report.
Li said on Thursday that the public hearing was an important part of the legal process to increase fares. The final decision will be made within 30 days of the public hearings.
The fare reform was only one of a series of measures made by the capital's government and it will consider comprehensive methods for better management of the taxi sector and better service for consumers, said Liu Yinchun, deputy head of the commission.
As of Thursday, the commission also received about 140 suggestions from local residents.

The PV cells made from a material (usually silicon) which converts light into electricity. A number of PV panels are connected together to form a PV array. A PV array of several PV modules is what will be installed on your solar roof. 2. Solar DC/AC Inverter – this small box converts the solar direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar PV panels into alternating current (AC) electricity.
Firstly, by avoiding the cost of purchasing the PV generated electricity from the grid. Electricity prices are expected to rise sharply over the next few years, so the savings from installing a solar PV generation power station on your own roof are likely to increase.
Secondly, Extra income. Under the government solar energy policy ,extra energy produced each unit of PV electricity that you generate with your photovoltaic installation, whether you use it or not. The State Government shall allow the Net metering mechanism for grid connected system to the consumer(s) of the Discoms installing such systems subject to technical consideration and execution of net-metering agreement between such consumers and Discoms. . The amount you earn from your PV installation depends on how much solar electricity you actually generate.

This will give the self-employed and buy to let landlords an extra year to prepare for the digitalisation of Income Tax and also allow HMRC more time for customer testing of the pilot system.
The start date for partnerships to join MTD for ITSA has been put back still further to the tax year beginning in April 2025.
There has been no change to the £10,000 per annum gross income threshold which means that most self-employed traders and buy to let landlords will be mandated to comply with MTD for income tax from April 2024.

warc | 202143 | The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients' satisfaction with hospitalizing costs and hospital costs after implementation of the health system plan in Jahrom city hospitals in 2018. This is a descriptive-correlation study. 556 patients hospitalized in Peymaniyah and Motahari hospitals were selected randomly. The data were collected using a questionnaire to determine the level of satisfaction with the provision of hospital services. To assess the validity of the questionnaire, the questionnaire was designed by the method of formal and conceptual validity and for confirmation of reliability, based on the Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.89. Data were analyzed using abundance and percentage of abundance calculations, and also one-way variance analysis through statistical SPSS-22 software. According to the results, the satisfaction of hospitalizing costs and hospital services after implementation of health system plans in Jahrom city hospitals in nursing services, nutrition services, diagnostic services (radiology/laboratory), accounting, insurance, and services Management is significantly different. Also, these factors have had different outcomes in the two hospitals. In fact, according to the results, Peymaniya Hospital has a higher level of satisfaction in nursing services. However, in terms of the nutrition services, diagnostic services (radiology/laboratory), accounting and insurance, and Hospital management services, Motahari hospital had superior patients' satisfaction in comparison with Peymanian Hospital.

warc | 202143 | Historic Saigon Opera House Uses 3D Laser Scanning Services They're Creating 3D Models 3D laser scanning services are being used in Vietnam to update 150 historic buildings. One of those buildings is the Saigon Opera House, built in 1897 by a French architect. This historic building is also known as the Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City and deserves to be treasured. The government decided that they could allow a group of researchers to digitally preserve the theater if future repairs need to be made.
The Department of Culture and Sports is responsible for creating accurate 3D models of the Opera House. This 3D representation will allow government officials to see what the historic house looks like now and see what breaks or needs to be maintained in the future. Using technology to preserve places is one of the best things when remodeling, maintaining, or renovating a historic building.
This house was chosen because it has been part of the Vietnamese culture for over 100 years, and it is still an essential part of the culture today. For this project, they chose to use the Trimble X7 3D laser scanning device because it will help map the entire building out accurately with precision. It will combine point clouds with the point clouds from the images being captured.
How the process works
This building in Vietnam is larger than others and hard to reach places. While one person can walk around very carefully, collecting all of the information that is within reach. All the user needs to do is point the 3D laser scanning device in the right direction while it is on and the process starts.
For hard-to-reach places like the roof or sides of the building, the 3D laser scanning device can be attached to a drone. This can be controlled from an external box that maneuvers the drone and directs it on where to go.
The research team can then take the information and plug it into a CAD or computer-aided design program to overlap the information. Pictures can be merged with the data points and create an accurate 3D image. Once the data is in the system completely, it can be edited to make a full picture.
They can use this information to create virtual reality for other projects. They can take the information and plug it into a giant printer that can be a 3D physical model that is an exact copy but smaller. If the research team needs it, they can send the information across the world to someone else as an electronic file.
Final thoughts
3D laser scanning services are one of the best tools to use for historical research. It preserves the building entirely and doesn’t bring any harm to the physical structure. The equipment needed for this project is relatively budget-friendly, considering all of the amazing advantages it brings the teams. This project is only one of many and will not be last. There are so many wonderful ways to use

warc | 202143 | Posture is one of the first and simplest ways to determine if you need to see a chiropractor. Posture isn't about Laziness - Its About Your Brain
In order for your brain to work properly, it must be level with respect to gravity. The problem starts if you suffer an injury that causes the top vertebrae in your neck to subluxate. The injury didn't break or dislocate anything, but it caused the atlas or axis to shift just enough that your body is not able to bring them back to the proper neutral position. This causes your body and posture to compensate in order to keep your head as level as possible.
Several characteristic changes follow:
Your head rotates slightly, shifts to one side, and sticks out forward. Of note, an adult's head weighs 4-5 Kg, but for every 2.5cm that your head juts forward that weight multiplies by two (which is the major reason that so many people suffer headaches and tight shoulders).
One-shoulder shrugs up, looking higher than the other. This creates further tension through your shoulders but also extends into the middle part of your back. One hip lifts up, looking higher than the other. This creates imbalance through your pelvis that can cause the discs and joints in your lower back to wear down prematurely, which is one of the major reasons that so many people experience low back pain.
A posture problem is actually a nervous system problem.
Although slouching, sitting too much, and not exercising enough all contibute towards posture problems, posture is not just a matter of laziness. It is a reflection of your body's internal structure, and how your body is compensating so that there is the least amount of tension on your spine and central nervous system, and it is one of the easiest and best indicators to tell if you are in need of a chiropractor.
So go have a look in the mirror. Is your head on straight? If the answer is no, do you think it's a good idea to have that looked at sooner than later before it starts to cause other problems? Posture is one of the first and simplest ways to determine if you need to see a chiropractor, and it actually about the brain and not just about laziness. | 2,160 | 1,038 | 2.080925 |
warc | 202143 | Individuals with autism exhibit a wide variety of repetitive and ritualistic behaviors. Such patterns of behavior are a defining characteristic of autism spectrum disorders, and are generally expected as part of the behavioral profile of individuals with autism. While often conceptualized as stereotypy, these behaviors are similar to those which characterize obsessive compulsive disorder, leading to the question of how to differentiate between the two in those with an autism spectrum disorder.
Stereotypy is defined as nonfunctional, repetitive behaviors that may be verbal or nonverbal and can present very differently in form and complexity across individuals, contexts, and time (e.g. Rapp & Vollmer, 2005; Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008). Examples of vocal stereotypy include repeating portions of previous conversations or imitating voices and sounds heard in videos or on television. Motor-oriented stereotypy examples include hand waving, eye gazing, rocking, and twirling objects. More complex forms of stereotypy may manifest in individuals with autism as engaging in very specific, yet nonfunctional rituals or routines or exhibiting a rigid demand for sameness.
A significant body of research examining the function of stereotypic behaviors in individuals with autism suggests it may serve a sensory (i.e., self-stimulatory) function that is maintained by automatic reinforcement (e.g. Lovaas, Newsom, & Hickman, 1987; Rapp & Vollmer, 2005). Consistent with this function, individuals with autism may engage in such behaviors for prolonged periods of time, when alone, or when bored or in distress. Although these behaviors may sometimes serve automatic functions, they may also be maintained or mediated by social consequences or tangible reinforcement (Durand & Carr, 1987; Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008). In educational settings, stereotypy can interfere with a child’s ability to learn, and may slow down the rate of instruction or lead a teacher to change tasks. Similarly, stereotypy may increase teacher attention or redirection. Outside of school, such behaviors can be socially stigmatizing, making community outings difficult for parents and restricting opportunities for peer interactions.
The examination of the functions of stereotypic behaviors in these instances is consistent with a behavior analytic frame of reference. Behavior analysts may seek to determine if a stereotypic behavior is serving multiple functions (e.g. sensory, social, tangible). For an automatically reinforcing function, they may seek to limit the contexts in which such behaviors are emitted. Additionally, they may endeavor to find alternate, more appropriate sources of the sensory input that could serve as replacement sources. These interventions are commonly part of a comprehensive ABA approach to reducing stereotypy.
At times, however, such behaviors are described as something more than stereotypy. They may be labeled as obsessive and/or compulsive and as indicative of a dual diagnosis of OCD. It seems (anecdotally) that the use of such terminology to describe the repetitive behaviors of individuals with autism is increasing. To what extent is the extension of OCD appropriate to the population of individuals with autism?
Obsessions are defined in psychiatric literature as persistent ideas, thoughts, and impulses that are intrusive and inappropriate, and which cause marked distress or anxiety in the individual. Compulsions are defined as repetitive behaviors (or mental acts) that are engaged in to prevent or reduce anxiety and distress (American Psychiatric Association [
DSM-IV-TR], 2000). The definitional nature of these symptoms requires that the individual be able to describe their subjective experience and emotional state. In children, self-report as to the intrusiveness of the compulsions or obsessions is not a requirement for an OCD diagnosis due to the recognition that they “may lack sufficient cognitive awareness to make this judgment” ( DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. 457). Instead, physicians rely on parental report and clinical observations to confirm whether the child’s behaviors are excessive and severely restricting their general and social functioning. Therefore, diagnosing OCD in any child is challenging. This is even more difficult if the child has autism, given their inherent difficulties in self-report and often limited insight into their behavior.
Furthermore, it is not clear whether the diagnosis of OCD is appropriate for the population of individuals with autism. The link between compulsive acts and obsessive thoughts rests on the assumption of anxiety reduction. While there may be some individuals with autism whose repetitive acts serve this function, it is very difficult to reliably and confidently determine this information with this population.
From a definitional perspective, stereotypy is often viewed as less complex. In addition, it is generally assumed that it does NOT serve an anxiety reducing function. There are individuals with autism that do seem to engage in behaviors that generally correlate with those seen in people with OCD. For example, they may engage in ritualistic cleaning or fixing, or they may engage in movement sequences that are linked to certain mathematical rules (e.g., 16 repetitions of a motor action, closing and opening each cabinet 5 times, etc.). It could be that such behaviors are best described as compulsive, and that they would respond to treatments linked to that presumption. However, as noted earlier, research shows that some stereotypy is in fact socially mediated, which would argue against the hypothesis of anxiety reduction.
A better model for diagnosing OCD may be functional assessment (Iwata, et al., 1982). Functional assessment is a systematic evaluation of the variables in the social and physical environment that may both “trigger” and reinforce the obsessions and compulsions. Functional assessment has evolved out of the scientific study of human behavior, which posits that the variables influencing behavior can be found in the external environment (e.g, Skinner, 1953). The paradigm asserts that behavior is influenced by stimuli occurring prior to the behavior, and any behavior that persists must be reinforced (strengthened) by variables following the behavior. Functional assessment is the state of the art assessment strategy for a wide range of inappropriate and challenging behaviors, ranging from noncompliance to severe aggression, with a significant amount of research on self-stimulatory, stereotypic behaviors (e.g., Mace & Belfiore, 1990).
Research has shown that there are four functions that maintain behaviors – attention, escape/avoidance, tangible reinforcement, and automatic reinforcement (e.g., Lang, O’Reilly, Lancioni, Rispoli, MacHalicek, Chan, et al., 2009; Mueller, Sterling-Turner, & Moore, 2005). Various functional assessment strategies have been developed to determine which of these functions appear to apply to a particular problem behavior. The research base clearly shows that by conducting functional assessments of problem behaviors and hypothesizing which function may be in play for a particular behavior, treatments based on that function are more successful than treatments based on a different function not selected. Therefore, functional assessment has become a powerful tool in the assessment and treatment of maladaptive behaviors (e.g., Kodak, Northup, & Kelley, 2007;Vollmer, Marcus, Ringdahl, & Roane, 1995).
The application of functional assessment to traditional OCD may provide information regarding the function of the OCD from a behavior-analytic perspective. This information, in turn, may result in treatments that are not only more effective, but also do not rely solely on pharmacological interventions (i.e. medication) as is often the case today.
Of all the functional assessment strategies in existence, functional analysis is the most powerful in that it provides the best determination of function (Iwata, et al., 1987). A functional analysis involves a systematic manipulation of antecedent and consequent events to determine covariation of the target OCD behaviors. Typically, there are five conditions, one testing each of the four functions (i.e., attention, tangible, escape/avoidance, and automatic reinforcement), and one “control” condition, consisting of a typical play or recreational activity.
A functional analysis of an OCD behavior may proceed as follows. The target behavior for this example is repetitive wiping of dark smudges from floors, walls, and tables. To test whether this behavior is motivated by attention, the clinician would set up a room with dozens of smudge marks on the table and floor. The client would sit at a table and be instructed to play with preferred materials, while the clinician sat nearby and ignored the client by pretending to work. If the client began wiping off a smudge mark, the clinician would physically stop the behavior and give several seconds of undivided attention to the client, after which the clinician would go back to ignoring the client. This process would be repeated for a set amount of time (e.g., 10 minutes) and across multiple sessions. The number of smudge attempts would then be recorded for each of the sessions.
To assess whether the behavior was reinforced by escape/avoidance, the clinician would put the client in a nonstop work context, using work materials/activities that, through interview or experience, were known to be difficult or unpleasant to the client. Identical to the previous setting, the work environment would contain numerous smudges throughout. The clinician would present work demands continuously to the client; if at any time, the client attempted to wipe off a smudge mark, the clinician would remove all work demands and materials for a brief period of time (e.g., 30 seconds). This session would continue for a set amount of time and the number of smudges would be recorded.
To determine the influence of tangible consequences on the occurrence of compulsive smudge wiping, the clinician would provide a preferred object for the client to engage with for a brief period of time (e.g., 1 minute). The clinician would then remove the object while ignoring the client. If at any time after that the client attempted to wipe off a smudge, the clinician would return the preferred item for a brief period of time (e.g., one minute). This process would be repeated throughout the session and the number of attempts at wiping off smudges would be recorded.
To assess the influence of “automatic” reinforcement (which is the closest explanation to the current theory of OCD), the clinician would place the client in a room with numerous smudges within arm’s reach, and then ignore the client for the entire session. The number of attempts at the target behavior would again be recorded.
Numerous sessions of each condition would be conducted and data would be analyzed to see if the behavior occurs more consistently in one condition than another. If so, this is known as “differentiated results” and the identified condition can be said to be serving the function that is maintaining the target behavior. On the other hand, if there is no differentiation in the data from one condition compared to the others (that is, in all conditions the rates of the OCD target behavior were consistent), then these would be labeled as “undifferentiated results” and the assumption would be that the OCD is, indeed, automatically reinforced, possibly by the reduction of anxiety.
The ability to distinguish truly compulsive behaviors from stereotypy in individuals with autism could increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our attempts to treat such behaviors. In addition, a new perspective on OCD, one that does not rely primarily on the self-report of the patient, but rather on a scientific analysis of human behavior, may produce gains in the assessment and diagnosis of the disorder. This, in turn, could lead to more effective and varied treatment options beyond the use of medication which is most commonly used today. Considering a different perspective in which the function (cause) of behavior could drive the development of interventions for OCD might allow for a variety of currently unanswered or unclear treatment questions to be answered. The first step toward this goal is the development of a functional analysis protocol that would explain this behavior from a behavior analytic perspective.

But when lumber prices quadrupled in the 14 months following the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020,1 warning sirens sounded for a potentially long and painful inflationary period, which grabbed the immediate attention of investors.
In a recent article published by the research firm Blue Vault, the author builds a compelling case for why investors should consider commercial real estate (CRE) as a potential hedge against inflation. We will discuss this in more detail, but first, a few basics.
What’s Behind The Current Price Spikes?
Many factors can contribute to a rising price environment. The most cited reason is the disconnect that occurs when demand for products and services is greater than the supply of those products and services. With our economy reopening and consumer spending on the rise, suppliers who were forced to throttle back at the height of the pandemic are struggling to meet current surges in demand. That boosts prices and reduces the spending power of the dollar. And voila, inflation.
The challenge for investors concerned about rising inflation is not knowing how bad it will be or how long it may last. When facing the unknown, if you follow the adage, “hope for the best, prepare for the worst,” it may be prudent to look at investments that have performed well during inflationary periods. CRE is one of those investments, and as mentioned in the Blue Vault article, here are a few key reasons:
Limited CRE inventory can lift property valuations and rental income
As production costs rise due to higher wages and increasing material costs, new real estate construction projects become very expensive and may be delayed or canceled. This limits CRE supply, which can elevate property values and allow owners to raise rental rates.
While inflation can have a detrimental effect on publicly traded stocks and bonds, which are subject to market movements and macroeconomic factors, rising inflation can enhance the performance of certain CRE investments less correlated with the markets.
CRE leases generally have built-in rent escalations
Many CRE leases include rent escalation clauses, often tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which enables property owners to increase rents at the same rate of inflation. That provides investors a powerful built-in inflation hedge.
In addition, the pervasive low-interest-rate environment we have been experiencing allows property owners to borrow and lock in long-term debt at low fixed rates. The combination of increasing cash flows and the low cost of capital can have a meaningful impact on enhancing investment returns.
Of course, there are risks to consider with any investment, and CRE has its own set, which any interested investor should become familiar with. When it comes to protecting investment portfolios from the corrosive effects of inflation, CRE is a unique solution that is worth a closer look.

warc | 202143 | Less than truckload (LTL) freight involves transporting items that don’t require a full truckload. This typically involves moving many separate shipments on a single truck. These shipments are often arranged on pallets and vary widely in size, from hundreds of pounds to several tons.
You might be wondering why hiring an LTL trucking company can work for you. Let’s take a look at how LTL freight works and why it’s becoming an increasingly popular way to move goods.
The basics of LTL freight
LTL transport involves using partial loads combined to form full truckloads. This is done for the sake of efficiency. How much this service costs is based on how much space is being utilized and the class of items being transported, as well as where the shipment is coming from and going to.
This can be done via standard, expedited or guaranteed shipping. LTL freight is also eligible for special services like residential pickup and delivery, lift gate pickup and delivery and more. These kinds of services are typically available at an additional fee.
Why you should choose LTL freight
A reputable LTL trucking company can offer significant benefits for businesses shipping smaller volumes of goods. The clearest benefit for businesses is the cost. Your shipment isn’t taking up the entire truck, so therefore the cost is spread out among all clients shipping goods. You only pay for the space you’re using, making it a fraction of the cost of shipping a full truckload of goods—or a partial truckload you aren’t sharing with other customers.
This is why so many small businesses are choosing to send goods via LTL freight. They ship fewer goods and have less stringent requirements for shipping than larger companies. LTL freight is an ideal way to keep costs down, which every small business owner knows is important.
On top of that, LTL freight is a more environmentally friendly way to go. That’s because the shipping process requires fewer full loads. In turn, this lessens the volume of emissions trucks are generating for goods to arrive at their destinations.
Finding the right LTL trucking company
Though there are clear benefits to business owners, LTL freight does come with some challenges. You want to work with a partner who pays attention to details and is experienced in LTL shipping. The last thing you want is for the shipment of goods to arrive late or damaged.
For successful LTL shipping, you want to find a carrier that uses a transportation management system. This is a best practice in the industry to ensure goods arrive on time and in excellent condition. You also want to find a company that will provide consistent, accurate information about your shipments. It’s their responsibility to keep you informed about any problems that might pop up.
With more than six decades in the business, K-Way Express Inc. has proven to be a leader in the industry. We offer freight management and transportation solutions for a wide variety of businesses.

The law is not that flexible at this point. Now if you are planning to import some cannabis seeds, where do you buy them and which should you choose?
Australian law on cannabis seeds: is it legal to grow cannabis in Australia?
At the time of writing this article, it was still illegal to grow cannabis seeds in Australia. The law seems to be changing slowly but surely with the use of medical Marijuana becoming legal in 2016.

warc | 202143 | Richard Nable is a retired police captain and firearms instructor. He offers career advice to new police officers regarding firearms issues.
Captain Richard Nable retired from the Fulton County Police Department in Atlanta where he was the David L Hagins Firearms Training and Testing Facility Director. At the facility, one of the largest outdoor ranges in the region, Nable served an average of 6,000 law enforcement personnel annually.
Richard Nable has been an adjunct instructor with Reinhardt University since 2009, and he’s served as an assistant professor of Criminal Justice and Public Administration. He also serves on the board of the Georgia Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors (GALEFI).
Are You Carrying a BUG?
by Captain Richard Nable
This is a very important question for any police officer to answer. A BUG, of course, is a BackUp Gun. As a SWAT operator and firearms instructor I teach all of my students that a backup gun is the second most important piece of equipment that they carry. (The most important being the primary weapon.)
I’ll even go so far as to say that anyone who wears a law enforcement uniform and does not carry a second (or third, or fourth) gun should be charged with false advertising; after all, the patch on your uniform says “Police” (or Sheriff or Marshal etc) but no real cop would be caught without at least one backup gun.
The Next Shootout
Any law enforcement officer that does not see fit to equip him or her-self with a backup gun has really not taken the time to think through the problem. All machines are man-made and are therefore prone to failure. All ammunition is man-made and also prone to failure. Murphy’s Law says, “Anything that can go wrong will,” and at the worst possible time. What could possibly be worse than someone trying to kill you?
Therein lies the first hurdle that officers must leap. We have to make the conscious realization that there are actually people out there that might try to kill us. I know that on the surface this concept is a no-brainer to most of us, but have you really considered the possibility that the next shootout won’t be in some far-off city or state, but right on your beat with you right in the middle of it? If you have a gunfight this afternoon, are you ready? I can personally name more than one officer who has been saved by his or her backup gun. I can also name more than one officer who has died from the lack of one.
Tunnel Vision
We know from studying decades of gunfights that the participants will typically get tunnel vision on the threat. The bad guys are no different from the good guys in this respect. They will tunnel in on the threat (the officer’s gun assuming it is out of the holster) just like we will.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that if you are prepared enough to have your gun in your hand when the shooting starts, you run a substantial risk of getting shot in your weapon hand or even in your weapon. If your weapon and/or your weapon hand become incapacitated, what plan do you have to survive? Hopefully you have a backup gun that is easily accessible with either hand. Without one, you put your life in the hands of the guy who is trying to kill you.
Criminals are Cowards - Richard Nable
Criminals are cowards. For the most part, if they think you’re ready for the fight, they won’t start one. Consequently, gunfights generally occur as a surprise to the officer. The bad guy knows that he is about to be in a gunfight but often the officer does not. We start out behind the 8-ball of action vs. reaction. We do not have the luxury of scheduling our gunfights.
The bad guys don’t call us up after dinner and say, “Hey dude. Tomorrow at 3:00 PM. Gunfight on a traffic stop. Don’t miss it.” If that were to happen, some officers would call in sick the next day, and others would go to work early. Those that went to work early would show up with plenty of guns, and plenty of friends with guns.
In reality, we must expect to be at a disadvantage. One way that we can start to even those odds is to prepare ourselves by having the right equipment, and the training to use it.
What is the Right Backup Gun?
So what is the right backup gun? Whenever I give my backup gun speech, there’s always someone in the crowd who asks, “Which gun should I choose?” Then the age-old debates begin; semi-auto vs. revolver, air weight vs. steel, stainless vs. blue, leg or torso carry, small vs. large caliber and so on. Short answer is, “Any backup gun is better than no backup gun.” The purpose of this article is not to tell you what to buy, but to help you make an informed decision about which gun may be right for you.
The first thing to consider is the practical application or tactical function of a backup gun. More often than not, if you are using your backup gun, the gunfight has already begun, and the adrenaline dump and other nasty effects of “Fight or Flight” are continuing to take their toll. Something has happened that has rendered your primary weapon useless. Your primary weapon could have been taken away.
It may have been left somewhere by accident, dropped, lost or for whatever reason, is not available. It could have sustained damage that renders it inoperable, or it may have been blown off along with your primary weapon hand and or arm! If you have to resort to a backup gun, it is an understatement to say that you are in a bad situation. You are likely to be very close to your assailant, and you need to shoot immediately or sooner if you hope to survive.
Pros and Cons of Different Backup Guns - Richard Nable
With these points in mind, we can now look at the pros and cons of different weapons. Many officers choose semi-autos as backup guns because the ammunition and magazines can match the primary weapon. This allows greater flexibility when it comes to reloading and lessens the likelihood of running out of ammo. Also, many compact semi-autos hold more ammunition than compact revolvers. Both of these are very good and valid points.
However, semi-autos are dependent on both the shooter and the ammunition to function correctly and are certainly more prone to malfunctions than revolvers. Anything that prevents the slide from moving while you are fighting and rolling around will cause a malfunction. If you are injured, scared to death, covered in crap, physically exhausted, and shooting with one hand or any or all of the above, might a reasonable person accept that there is a greater possibility of limp-wristing the gun which will also result in a malfunction in a semi-auto? It is a risk to consider.
The malfunction clearance drill for a revolver is, Pull the trigger again! Semi-autos are considerably more complicated. Bear in mind that under extreme stress and close quarters combat, pressing the muzzle into part of the bad guy’s body can put a semi-auto into an out-of-battery condition that may prevent it from firing. The same problem can occur if during the fight, the muzzle of the semi-auto is forced into the dirt. This problem does not occur in revolvers. (Of course if the muzzle obstruction is severe enough, it can create a catastrophic failure in any weapon.)
Where to Carry a Back-up Gun
Think about where you carry a back-up gun. First of all, it will be close to your body and covered with some type of clothing. These two facts mean that it will get dirty fairly quickly. If you do not make an extra effort to clean your semi-auto regularly, then you have another cause of potential malfunctions. Revolvers are less prone to this sort of failure.
Revolvers are inherently more accurate. While this is generally true (not always of course) I personally do not think that accuracy is going to play a large part in a gunfight where a backup gun is necessary. I still train our officers to shoot at distances up to 25 yards with their backup guns (just in case), but in all likelihood a gunfight with a backup gun will be inside of “personal” distances.
What about things like size, weight and caliber? I like big guns that shoot big bullets that make big holes. But realistically, a backup gun needs to be compact enough to conceal on your body. It needs to be comfortable so that you won’t mind wearing it regularly. The fact that we all have different body shapes and sizes mean that these preferences certainly will vary according to the individual.
I personally don’t see the need for an air weight as an on-duty back-up gun. It will be carried on your leg or your torso where a few ounces will not be noticeable. When you shoot however, the air weight can be more difficult to manage depending on the shooter.
Little Relevance
Since I brought it up in the opening paragraphs, I prefer any finish over a blued gun simply because bluing is the least durable finish out there. In the sweaty, dirty environment of a police uniform, blued guns don’t seem to hold up as well as the others. As a practical matter though, in my opinion the finish on your backup gun has little relevance.
Stress Factor
There’s one more little thing that often gets overlooked. The vast majority of officers train (and practice) far more often with their duty weapons than they do with their backups. We all know that what you train is what you do under stress. Consider then that the grip angle on most revolvers is considerably different than the grip angle on most semi-auto duty guns. Under stress, you will use the grip you train and practice with most often.
If you have ever tried to transition from a full size Glock to a small frame Smith and Wesson, hopefully you realized that you tend to shoot high with the revolver. In practical applications with our officers on our range, we regularly see officers missing the target at 3 yards as a direct result of grip angle. When we correct the angle, most of our shooters comment that it feels like they are shooting at the ground. Because of this, there is definitely something to be said for carrying a backup that is similar to your duty weapon.
What it all boils down to is a personal choice. There are a number of pros and cons on all sides of the fence. The one immutable truth that stands out is that, “Any backup gun is better than no backup gun!”
Carry the BUG - Richard Nable
What is your life worth? You can get a great insurance policy (backup gun) for under $400.00 and have the satisfaction of knowing that you are taking an active part in saving your own life. Whatever you decide, you must train, and you must practice. Prepare everyday as if your gunfight is going to be today. Carry that BUG!

warc | 202143 | Using Airbnb to Pay Your Mortgage
Collectively, the cities and towns of the South Okanagan represent a vacation oasis for people from all over the province, country, continent, and world. As a real estate buyer in/entering the area, you see a major opportunity to pay down your mortgage by putting the prospective home on the
short term vacation (STR) market. With online resources such as Airbnb and VRBO, doing so is easier than ever. This is indeed a smart strategy IF executed correctly. As the region’s premier mortgage brokerage we’re here to help you make it happen. Below is a breakdown of everything you need to consider. 5 Things Penticton Area Buyers Need to Consider When Planning to Use Airbnb/VRBO to Pay Down their Mortgage I. Play by the Rules
To be honest, the rules regarding STRs from municipality to municipality in the Okanagan are fairly dynamic, and it is important to monitor local news about the potential for a change in regulations. That said, governing bodies in the Okanagan cannot deny the positive impact that Airbnb has made on the local economy. Visitors that were not able to find favorable accommodations in the past now have greater access, and don’t have to head over to Kelowna instead. Local businesses most certainly appreciate this, as do the local tax collectors. For this reason you can expect the allowance of STRs in the South Okanagan to stick around for the far foreseeable future. However, as a buyer you want to stay informed about the regulations unique to the city/town that you are buying.
Let’s look to Penticton as a prime example. Buyers are pleased to learn that the city is accommodating to your plans to pay down your mortgage with an STR home. Detached houses, townhomes, condominiums, cabins, and even carriage houses (it’s a thing in the Okanagan) along with a variety of other legal housing constructs are permitted for the STR market. That said, you must
apply for a business licence to operate a short-term rental. This process ensures that safety standards are met, and helps protect neighbors and corresponding communities from nuisances. Securing a license is fairly straight forward. You can review all of the details on the City of Penticton website right here. Every other town will have their own similar processes in place. If getting a mortgage in OK Falls, Naramata, Summerland, or Peachland (etc.) be sure to check for the STR rules on their respective municipal websites. II. Check Out Your Competition
Using Airbnb to pay a mortgage is a business decision. As such, we encourage you to approach it in that manner, which means performing a competitor analysis prior to making your purchase. This is neceassry if the primary goal is an investment mortgage, but even if the home will be your primary residence it doesn’t hurt to gauge the competitive market.
Have a look at what’s available in the Penticton area at this very moment. This will help you calculate the level of competition based on the following:
Location (near Okanagan Lake, etc.) Number of bedrooms Square footage Amenities Price range
The greater the competition for the criteria above, the harder it may be to generate a consistent revenue stream from your space. Of course, the flip side is true, and you may uncover a major opportunity in make your new property a highly sought after vacation commodity.
III. Consider Strata (Condo Buyers)
Condominium and other multi-residential complex property owners have a complicated relationship with Airbnb. The City may allow it, but strata may impose unanticipated restrictions on your plans, while others have explicit rules against placing units on STR service sites. Some buyers plan to not report their intent to strata, but they run a significant risk of violating strata bylaws and regulations. This can lead to financial penalties and may result in a forfeit of ownership. Learn the ins and outs of the strata bylaws and regulations of your prospective condo, and also study the BC Condominium Act to keep up to date on amendments as they occur.
IV. Managing Insurance and Liability Risks
Take every necessary step to mitigate the risk of damage and liability that comes with placing your new property on Airbnb or VRBO. Regardless of how stringent the vetting process (ID-verification, user reviews), you will have strangers staying at your home. Neither Airbnb or VRBO offer comprehensive background or credit checks.
Airbnb does provide a
Host Protection Insurance program with primary liability coverage for up to $1,000,000 per incident. This provides some protection in the event of a third-party claim of bodily injury or property damage related to a stay on your property. However, the terms and conditions leave lots of room for interpretation. Events and subsequent harm such as water damage, fire damage, vandalism, and criminal mischief may not be adequately covered by the Host Protection Insurance program. A loophole can cost you a small or financially ruinous amount, especially if a neighboring property is also impacted. In addition the coverage provided by your STR service, secure a more robust homeowners insurance policy that covers the liability that comes along with placing your home on the STR market. You will want to factor this cost into what you will be paying for your monthly mortgage. V. Use Revenue to Pay Down Mortgage, or Consider Alternatives?
You’ve checked all of the boxes above, and are ready to buy a home to generate steady revenue on the STR market. But is paying down the mortgage the best thing to do with your with rental income? One of the most common myths about mortgages is that it is good to pay down your home loan as soon as possible. This is not always the case.
When you pay off your mortgage it does not result in an equal increase in equity. Instead, it simply reduces your principal. On the surface it makes perfect sense to reduce the overall balance of the home loan. However, did you consider the fact that it may be better to put that some of your income
towards an investment that yields a greater return? For example, if the interest earned on an investment opportunity is greater than that of the interest you are currently paying on your mortgage, then the investment may certainly make more sense. Speak to your broker and/or financial advisor before committing your Airbnb income to pay off your mortgage. There may be more lucrative opportunities to generate greater overall wealth.

warc | 202143 | New Zealand needs to reduce its emissions drastically across all areas in order to reach this net zero emissions target. This will require a number of different approaches, and the support of government, business, and the community.
As a country, we will need to reimagine the way we travel, generate energy, produce food, manage waste, develop agriculture, build infrastructure, and develop our towns and cities. We can also ‘offset’ our emissions through carbon sequestration, or carbon capture. Carbon sequestration means capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it using trees, wetlands and soils.
The Council recognises the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible, while continuing to support the wider needs of the community. This means we need to manage the speed at which we reduce greenhouse gas emissions to enable time for a just and equitable transition to a low greenhouse gas emissions economy.
If our cuts are too drastic before we can undertake detailed analysis, there is the risk of not understanding potentially harmful impacts on the community and the economy.
However, if we act too slowly to reduce our emissions,we won’t be taking the necessary action to limit warming to 1.5°C, may miss opportunities to adopt useful new technologies, and won’t be leading on climate action. | 1,376 | 734 | 1.874659 |

Blockchain Asia – Blockchain is an irrefutably creative innovation that is practically bringing about innovation in the global business sector. Its evolution has brought along with it a greater good, not only in business but for its beneficiaries likewise. But since its revelation into the world, a vision connected with its operational activities is unclear. Does the main question attach to everyone’s mind is instructions What is Blockchain?
To start with, Blockchain technology serves as a podium that allows the transit connected with digital information without the likelihood of being copied. It has, you might say, laid the foundation of a robust backbone of a new kind of online space.
Blockchain Asia – Originally designed to take care of Bitcoin – trying to reveal the layman about the performs of its algorithms, often the hash functions, and electronic digital signature property, today, the particular technology buffs are finding other potential uses of this new invention which could pave how one can see the onset of an entire start-up company dealing process in the world.

The running of Blockchain
Blockchain Asia – Blockchain may be comprehended as Distributed Journal technology which was initially invented to support the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. But post heavy judgments and rejection, the technological innovation was revised for use inside things more productive.
Imagine any spreadsheet that’s practically increased tons to times around a plethora of computing systems to offer a clear picture. And after that, imagine that these networks are made to update this spreadsheet every once in a while. This is precisely what Blockchain is.
Blockchain Asia – Details stored on a blockchain are a shared sheet whose data is reconciled every once in a while. It’s a practical way that will speak of many apparent gains. To begin with, blockchain data doesn’t exist within a single place. This means that anything stored there is open to get public view and proof.
Further, there isn’t any centralized data storing platform which cyberpunks can corrupt. It’s almost accessed over a million computer systems side-by-side, and a person can consult its files with an internet connection.
Durability along with Authenticity of Blockchain
Blockchain Asia – Blockchain technology is something that minims the internet space. It’s elegant robust. Comparable to offering data to most folks through the World Wide Web, blocks involving factual information are stashed on a blockchain platform and identically visible on most networks.
Vital to note, Blockchain cannot be controlled by one person, entity, or information and has no one point involving failure. Just like the internet has proven itself as a long-lasting space for the last three decades, Blockchain too will function at an authentic, reliable global level for business transactions as it is still developing.
Transparency and Integro Nature
Veterans of the sector claim that Blockchain lives in a situation of consciousness. It almost checks on itself every so often. It’s similar to self-auditing engineering, where its network reconciles every transaction, known as a wedge, which happens aboard with regular intervals.
Blockchain Asia – This gives birth and labor to two significant properties associated with Blockchain – it’s highly transparent, and at the same time, it can not be corrupted. Every transaction that takes place on this server is embedded within the network, making the entire thing greatly visible to the general public.
Furthermore, to edit or even omit information on blockchain requests for a humongous amount of initiatives and robust computing energy. Amid this, frauds could be easily identified. Hence, it can be termed incorruptible.
Users associated with Blockchain
There isn’t a defined guideline or regulation about who else shall or can utilize this immaculate technology. Although at present, its potential customers are banks, commercial new york giants, and global economies, the technology is open up for the day-to-day dealings of the general public as well. The only real drawback blockchain is dealing with is global acceptance. | 4,560 | 2,099 | 2.172463 |

A policy brief outlines the rationale for a particular policy alternative or course of action in a current policy debate. A policy debate is the ‘market place’ for competing policy ideas. The purpose of a policy brief is to convince the target audience of the urgency of the current problem and the need to adopt the preferred alternative or course of action outlined, and therefore, serve as an impetus for action.

Data Analysis Requirements:
You’re asked to design a mediation study based on the data provided. You’re free to design/model your study. In this report, you should create a study with strong theoretical model and make rational decision in designing the mediation study. You’re free to modify (or remove) the data if you need to. You can also use all or only some of the variables from the data to build your model. If you need to add more variables that is up to you. Remember! You will need to justify your decision (whatever the nature of that decision). Your justification should be based on what you know about the relationship between the variables via common sense and/or statistical investigation. There might be some missing data in the data set. Missing data is a fact of life. Your model (design) has to fit the theory and the moderation analysis has to match the model.
You are free to analyse the model using PROCESS Macro or hierarchical regression. Please provide the correct reporting in the results section (i.e., PROCESS Macro reporting is different from hierarchical regression reporting). Remember to present descriptive statistics, correlations and relevant tables/figures, if required. You will need to use more than just the PROCESS/regression analysis in SPSS to do this.
Use APA formatting (7th ed.) throughout for reporting statistics, references, tables and figures. Please include any tables/figures (pertaining to the Results section) in the main body of the text. The SPSS output should be submitted as an Appendix (this should present the entirety of the PROCESS/regression output and other relevant SPSS output, if performed). This output in the Appendix does not have to conform to APA formatting. It can be ‘cut and pasted’ from SPSS. No annotation other than appropriate headings is required in the Appendix.
You will also be required to determine what kind of sample size you might need to have adequate power to run the study. Accordingly, you may want to note that a meta-analysis of TMT experiments found mortality salience manipulations to have a moderate sized effect on average (Burke et al., 2010).
Information on how the study variables were measured is summarised below:
Variable Measured by https://smashingessays.com/
Mortality salience A novel mortality salience manipulation has been used for this study. As part of this manipulation, participants were randomised into 3 conditions:
1. A mortality salience condition: Participants are presented with a magazine article to read on the topic of the need to prepare a will, and have funeral arrangements in place, given the unpredictability of death; the article includes an image of a man in an open casket
2. A non-death anxiety condition: Participants are given a magazine article indicating that most people are not saving enough money in order to afford a house or retire comfortably; the article includes an image of a man destitute on the streets
3. No article condition: Participants are not presented with any stimulus articles.
Both stimulus articles are about 500 words.
Interest in having a star named after you Assessed with a similar method to that used by Greenberg et al. (2010). Participants were told that they would be asked about their interest in a product or service selected at random from a larger list. Participants were then presented with an advertisement for “YourStar.com”. YourStar.com was described as “working with the Universal Star Council and NASA to ensure that each start is permanently registered with one name, allowing a person to ‘own’ a star.” The final line of the advertisement reads: “With YourStar.com humans may one day live on a planet orbiting a star named after you!”
Following Greenberg et al. (2010), participants where then asked:
1. “How interested would you be in finding out more about the advertised product or service?” (on a seven-point scale where 1 = not at all, 4 = somewhat, and 7 = very much)
2. “If you were to purchase this product/service, how much would you be willing to spend (that is, what is the highest dollar amount that you would still be willing to spend to make this purchase?)” (on a seven-point scale where 1 = $25, 2 = $50, 3 = $100, 4 = $250, 5 = $500, 6 = $750, 7 = $1000).
Scores for these items were then added to get a single “Interest” score.
Self-esteem Measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Total scores were then use to split participants into low and high self-esteem groups (using cuts at the 50th percentile).
You can find a lot of information on the RSES online.
Belief in an afterlife Single question: Do you believe in some form of afterlife in which an aspect of yourself continues to “live on” after your physical death (e.g., the Christian conception of heaven)? No; Yes
Belief humans will colonise space Single question: “Do you believe that humans will one day colonise space (e.g., living on large colonies on other planets)?” No; Yes
Age Measured in years

warc | 202143 | Romania, Finland and Croatia recently published the Trio Programme for their upcoming EU Council Presidencies. The Trio Programme sets the joint political priorities for the presidencies and does not suggest radical changes, but puts emphasis on jobs and growth. European NGOs would like to see human rights based policies aiming at well-being within planetary boundaries.
The Cotonou Partnership Agreement is coming to an end in 2020. To ensure a fair ground leading to a “partnership of equals”, CONCORD has developed a list of recommendations, serving as a contribution from civil society to the ongoing EU-ACP negotiations to ensure mutually beneficial priorities.
CONCORD took an active part in the AidEx conference in Brussels, that gathered more than 2.000 people from the aid and development. Here are the main takeaways from the debates, stands and discussions.
It is now a month since the second High-Level Meeting in Nairobi concluded. Looking back, was it a success? Certainly as the HLM concluded the civil society delegates were delighted with the outcome. Here is how it happened. Article written by Justin Kilcullen, former Co-Chair of CPDE.
European development NGOs urge the EU to agree an action plan that respects their promises on development and aid effectiveness
Today, as the EU adopted its Common Position for the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation High Level Meeting taking place in Nairobi on 30 November – 1 December, Europe’s development NGOs urged EU leaders to set themselves a clear timeline to achieve their commitments, crucial to delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). | 1,669 | 927 | 1.800431 |
warc | 202143 | protests around the world show the urgency of addressing inequalities. How can we tackle this multidimensional problem to ensure no one is left behind? Our new report calls for a systemic approach and puts forward concrete solutions, which could guide EU leaders to reduce different forms and drivers of economic, social, environmental, and political inequalities.
Aid is not only about quantity, it is about quality too! It needs to reach the people who need it the most. Our new paper “Who owns Development Effectiveness? A European Reality Check” analyses how EU aid is actually used for. This paper puts forward a series of recommendation based on some selected indicators which sets the scene for achieving a more effective and inclusive aid.
For the first time since 2012, the EU’s aid spending decreased in 2017. This means, at the current rate of growth, the EU would need another 40 years to meet the 0.7% ODA/GNI target, reveals CONCORD AidWatch Report 2018.
Why should we care about global citizenship education? How much funding goes to GCE in Europe? How much should we invest in Global Citizenship Education? These questions were addressed in CONCORD’s new report and discussed by panelists, including experts from DEVCO and UNESCO.
While Global Citizenship Education is recognised by many as a powerful tool to resolve current global challenges, the level of investment by national governments remains limited. Why is that? CONCORD’s new report explores this while revealing the level of funding dedicated to Global Citizenship Education in Europe between 2011 and 2015. | 1,616 | 880 | 1.836364 |

warc | 202143 | TAMPA, Fla. (CW44 News At 10)– The United States has filed a civil lawsuit against Dr. Edward Lubin, a pain management doctor practicing in Tampa, alleging that he issued patients medically unnecessary prescriptions for Subsys, a fentanyl-based spray manufactured by Insys Therapeutics, Inc., and used to treat breakthrough cancer pain. Dr. Lubin allegedly participated in Insys’ sham speaker program, through which it paid doctors in exchange for them writing such unnecessary prescriptions for Subsys.

In its complaint, the government alleges Dr. Lubin violated the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act by repeatedly accepting payments of up to $3,700 from Insys for attending sham speaking events and, in exchange for these payments, prescribed Subsys to patients for whom the drug was either not medically necessary or otherwise inappropriate. These prescriptions were submitted to and paid through the Medicare and TRICARE federal healthcare programs. As further alleged in the complaint, between 2014 and 2016, Dr. Lubin prescribed Subsys to 61 patients, only nine of whom actually had cancer. In total, the United States alleges Dr. Lubin received more than $159,000 in payments from Insys and, in return, wrote Subsys prescriptions for which Medicare paid more than $2.8 million in claims.

The United States previously prosecuted Insys under a criminal information filed in the District of Massachusetts, and Insys agreed to a global resolution of the government’s separate civil and criminal investigations. As part of the civil resolution, Insys agreed to pay $195 million to settle allegations it violated the False Claims Act and, as part of the criminal resolution, it entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the government, its operating subsidiary pleaded guilty to five counts of mail fraud, and the company was subject to a $2 million fine and $28 million in forfeiture.
Additionally, the United States criminally prosecuted the founder and four former executives of Insys. A federal jury in Boston previously found those defendants guilty of, among other things, using Insys’ speaker program to bribe medical practitioners to prescribe Subsys.

warc | 202143 | Description
The Bible contains many accounts of God blessing his people and those that would call on him to deliver them and lead them.
The first thing God did after creating Adam was to bless him. He spoke the exact same blessing over Noah as he came out of the Ark following the Flood. Abraham became the father of nations through God's blessing, and that blessing flowed down the lineage of history just as God promised. Isaac walked in this blessing and received 100 fold during a period of famine that left others fleeing to Egypt. Isaacs children fought for this blessing and Esau was left distraught saying 'Bless me also, father' after Jacob had received it.
This blessing flowed through the seed of Abraham just as God had promised and continued even to the saving of Egypt and Israel through Joseph. Kings tried to stop Israel, but the blessing was so strong that even prophets-for-hire were not able to go against the blessing. Nehemiah, Ruth, Esther, and many others experienced the blessing and the way it would open doors in Governments and provide opportunities. David spoke of the blessing and received an abundance, as did his son Solomon. Elijah walked in the blessing so much, that his apprentice Elisha asked for a ‘double blessing’ as it was so obvious and heavy on him. And Elisha got it…
The first teachings that we read from Jesus's earthly ministry begin with the words 'Blessed' and he speaks 9 of these blessings in the first 11 verses of Matthew 5.
The blessing is something that has been the topic of the Christian Church throughout the centuries and is something that has united people and at the same time divided denominations. But the fact is that the Bible is full and overflowing with words of blessing and instructions on walking in this blessing.
God has not changed and his blessings are the same today, just as they were for Abraham 4 thousand years ago.
In the first 3 verses of Psalm 1, we see a short description of a man that is walking in the abundant and overflowing blessing from God. Blessed is the man that...
Throughout this book, we explore the key characteristics of this man in Psalm 1 and get a glimpse into the way to live in order to see this blessing working in our lives. The blessing is partly due to God's unfailing love and promise, but it's also partly due to us walking in the ways of truth and righteousness.
This is not about sin, works, or justification, but rather a simple understanding of sowing and reaping. All of our actions carry a result whether good or bad and by looking at God's word, we are able to see the path that he has given us to walk in. Obedience to his diving plan is the key to receive the blessings that follow the man who walks in his ways. | 2,755 | 1,333 | 2.066767 |

Objective(s): To understand what factors affect the amount of carbon stored in tundra soils, and the conversion of this soil carbon into greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane).
Project Description: This research aims to understand what factors affect 1) the amount of carbon stored in tundra soils, and 2) the conversion of this soil carbon into greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane). In particular, the research team wants to understand how hydrology (which is the distribution and movement of water in soils and streams) might affect the carbon cycle under future global warming. This includes not only direct release of gases from the soils and plants to the atmosphere, but also the amount of carbon which moves from soils into streams as soils drain, and what happens to that carbon once in the stream water.
The work will involve: 1) measuring carbon dioxide and methane production using plastic chambers. These measurements are non-destructive, and equipment will be removed from the site at the end of the project. In between weekly campaigns equipment will be stored in weatherproof aluminum boxes; 2) tracking carbon in soils and plants using a non-radioactive, naturally-occurring isotope of carbon dioxide (13CO2); 3) measuring the amount of carbon in soils, vegetation and stream water through taking samples and analysing them in the laboratory. For the soils the research team will take small cores (around 40) of approximately 5cm diameter, and a smaller number of larger diameter soil/permafrost cores for laboratory experiments (< 15cm). The research team will also dig small (20cm x 20cm) pits to examine the soil layers, which will be filled in afterwards. To sample plants the research team will clip leaves and branches in small areas (around 30, max. 20cm x 20cm); 4) monitoring soil temperatures using buried temperature sensors connected to data-recording equipment (essentially small weatherproof boxes). These will be removed at the end of the project; 5) installing 3 small V-notch weirs (essentially a piece of wooden board with a V shape cut into it which is placed across the stream and allows accurate measurement of water flow) on small streams in Sik-Sik Creek for the duration of the project. Each of these will have a sensor, data recorder and battery associated with it (in small weatherproof boxes). The sensor will be installed in a vertical 1 m long piece of narrow drain pipe in the stream. The research team will remove the sensor (but leave the pipe) over-winter. The research team will also install samplers in 0.5 m long tubes in-stream for periods of 4-6 weeks. Again the samplers will be removed before the winter sets in; and 6)marking the areas of tundra that are being sampled, so the research team can return to them the following year, using small wooden pegs/stakes. The research team will remove all markers at the end of the project, unless there is good reason to leave (some of) them in place. The research team will engage with local communities to explain the research, and in the process hopefully learn more about their perspectives on and experiences with, climate change. The research team plans to organize (with the help of our project partner Steve Kokelj) informal talks or meetings at ARI to explain the work and results. The research team would also like to have local residents visit the research site to see what is being done. The team will produce posters/information displays which can be put on view at ARI, and all scientific publications which result from the research will be archived in the library. The research team is also keen to work with local educators to provide input for (or lead) lessons or lectures on the science behind the work, for example at the local high school or Aurora College. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from June 1, 2013 to September 6, 2013. | 4,476 | 1,953 | 2.291859 |
warc | 202143 | From Projects to Solutions: Accelerating Web Development for Customer Experience
Over the last decade, leading web content management systems have evolved from a standalone application for managing the information on one or more websites to a vital component at the core of most firms’ customer experience management ecosystems. This transition reflects, and is fueled by, the increasing desire of consumers for seamless, holistic experiences across channels and touch points.
However, this evolution in the capabilities and breadth of web content management software has not been accompanied by an equivalent shift in how firms and their web development partners plan for, implement, and operate customer experience initiatives. Often, the approach is fragmented and thus ignores the holistic customer experience. Moreover, service provider partners are often employed only for the build phase of a project, further hindering coordination across multiple customer interactions.
The result is a gap between how firms produce customer experiences and how customers experience them – between, that is, isolated projects and integrated solutions. In this report, we analyze the origins and effects of this gap and show how and why service providers should drive the shift to customer-centric solutions by deploying development practices and technologies that accelerate the build phase, deliver and sustain more business value, and better serve customer expectations.Download now | 1,491 | 766 | 1.946475 |

Eating Slowly Led to Decreases in Energy Intake within Meals in Healthy Women

Abstract
Although reducing eating rate is frequently advocated for control of food intake and thus body weight, empirical evidence is extremely limited and inconsistent. We sought to compare the impact of slow and quick eating rates on development of satiation in healthy women. In a randomized design, 30 healthy women (22.9±7.1 years; body mass index [calculated as kg/m2] 22.1±2.9) were studied on two test visits to compare slow and quick eating rates. Satiation was examined as the main outcome, using the objective measure of energy intake during ad libitum meals. At designated times, subjects also rated perceived hunger, satiety, desire to eat, thirst and meal palatability on visual analogue scales. Slow rates of ingestion led to significant decreases in energy intake (quick: 645.7±155.9 kcal; slow: 579.0±154.7 kcal; P<0.05) and significant increases in water consumption (quick: 289.9±155.1 g; slow: 409.6±205.8 g; P<0.05). Despite higher energy intake upon meal completion under the quick condition, satiety was significantly lower than the slow condition (P<0.05). Accordingly, the quick condition showed a lower Satiating Efficiency Index (quick: 0.1; slow: 0.2; P<0.05). After meal completion, pleasantness ratings tended to be higher under the slow condition (P=0.04; but not significant after Bonferroni adjustment). Ad libitum energy intake was lower when the meal was eaten slowly, and satiety was higher at meal completion. Although more study is needed, these data suggest that eating slowly may help to maximize satiation and reduce energy intake within meals. © 2008 American Dietetic Association.

warc | 202143 | Digital thermometers are increasingly becoming an integral part of your digital shopping experience, and they’re a great way to check on how your purchase is performing on your mobile device.
Here are six tips on how to use them correctly.1.
Use your digital card to pay for your itemsDigital thermometers have a range of different functions, including displaying the temperature of your purchase, displaying your location, showing how much money you have in your account, and even showing your estimated arrival date for your purchase.
These devices are great for checking on how the payment is progressing, and can also display a bar graph of how your purchases are performing on the app.2.
Get the most out of digital thermatorsWhile digital thermometers have been around for a while now, they’re starting to make a comeback thanks to smart apps and websites, like Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks, offering more accurate readings of your money.
You can read more about thermometers and their use in our previous article.3.
Use a digital thermocoupleThe most common thermometer brands are Thermo Fisher Scientific, Thermo Flex, and ThermoWorks, with more and more brands now offering them.
These thermometers work by detecting the difference between a temperature difference between your mobile phone and your computer, and will provide an accurate reading of how much cash you have on hand.
If you’re worried about how accurate your readings are, check with your card company to see if they have an automatic sensor.4.
Watch the weatherAs well as using the thermometer to check how your digital wallets are performing, thermometers can also be used to track your temperature in real-time.
This is useful if you’re looking to change your shopping habits as your wallet temperature drops due to cold weather, and you want to monitor the status of your spending.5.
Watch your temperatureThe thermometer will tell you how your temperature is changing as you use it, and when it’s most effective.
You’ll also get a summary of how you’re performing on other shopping and loyalty apps.
If your wallet isn’t feeling so hot, you can turn it down to low and keep checking back for your best scores.6.
Use digital thermography to track the temperatureAs your wallet is cold and your thermometer is reading the right temperature, it’s easier to get your shopping done and your loyalty points earned.
It’s also important to keep an eye on your temperature as you’re using the app, as your thermocouples can help you to track how your money is doing. | 2,610 | 1,157 | 2.255834 |
warc | 202143 | In Parashas Shoftim we learn of the different agencies in operation after Israel reaches its land: The king, the prophet, the Kohanim, the judges and the officers. The Torah defines these roles and provides their basic laws.
The beginning of the parashah mentions judges and officers – shoftim and shotrim. Rashi explains that these refer to two distinct arms of the law. Judges are “judges who issue judgments,” whereas officers are entrusted with enforcing judgments: “They enforce the judgments with the rod and with the strap until they accept the ruling of the judge” (
Rashi, Devarim 17:18).
The Rambam (
Sanhedrin 1:1) adds that the officers are also responsible for maintaining the public order and for distancing people from sin.
“It is a positive Scriptural commandment to appoint judges and enforcement officers in every city and in every region, as it states: “Appoint judges and enforcement officers in all your gates.” “Judges” refers to magistrates whose attendance is fixed in court, before whom the litigants appear. “Enforcement officers” refers to those equipped with a rod and a lash who stand before the judges and patrol the marketplaces and the streets to inspect the stores and to regulate the prices and the measures. They inflict corporal punishment on all offenders. Their deeds are controlled entirely by the judges.”
The Midrash stresses the need for both of these roles: “Without the enforcement officers, there is no judge. For if the court finds a person guilty, once he leaves (the courtroom) the judge is powerless unless the enforcement officer takes control” (
Tanchuma, Shoftim, 2).
In the present article we will discuss the division between judges and officers.
The Judgment and its Execution
It appears at first glance that judges and officers make up two separate agencies each possessing one particular authority. Neither of the two agencies interferes with the other, and each performs its own specific duty. This would be something like the modern-day division of powers between the judiciary and the executive: Each performs its own task.
However, we find that Torah judges also serve as officers of the law. For instance, we find a special term for a judge who issues the judgment and then executes it himself – a procedure known as “
nasa venasan beyad” ( Sanhedrin 33a). According to the Chazon Ish ( Sanhedrin 16:5) even indirect means of coercion applied by the Dayanim, such as excommunication, are considered “taking from one and handing over to the other.”
In the most basic sense this means that the judges executed their judgment by taking the money from one party and giving it to the other. This indicates that the Torah judiciary is not separate and distinct – at least not entirely – from the execution of judgment.
Note, however, that according to some authorities the halachah of “
nasa venasan beyad” applies even when the judges execute the judgment by means of officers who serve as their agents (see Tumim 25:10). According to this approach there is less of a proof of the involvement of Dayanim in the execution of judgment. The Rod of the Judge
Besides the halachah mentioned above, we find many cases in which judges actively apply their judgment. For instance, Dayanim may arrange for a payment schedule to enable debtors to repay their debts or suggest options for securities, and they generally take a keen interest in the execution of the judgment.
Moreover, Beis Din oversees the punishment administered in criminal matters. Wherever possible, the punishment is meted out by the witnesses to the offense (
Devarim 17:7). Even when this is not done, the judges themselves preside over the execution of judgment (such as an execution), with the shotrim serving as sheriffs of a sort for the shoftim ( Rashi, Devarim 16:18).
The Tur even records that judges would sit in Beis Din with rods at hand, ready to administer judgment by the stick should it be required (
Choshen Mishpat 1). The Tur notes further that a Shofar should also be close at hand, for use in excommunication, should it be required.
It is possible that the lashes and the shofar blasts would be carried out by officers of the law, and not by the Dayanim themselves. Nonetheless, the presence of these instruments in the traditional courtroom indicates the close connection between judgment and execution, and demonstrates a measure of responsibility that the judges have for the execution of their judgments.
This comes as something of a contrast with modern law, which is careful to ensure a clear-cut separation between the judiciary and the executive. For instance, in one Supreme Court verdict in Israel the court emphasized: “The execution of a decision is not the responsibility of the court; the executive was established for this purpose. This matter is self-understood” (CA 447/92
Rot vs. Intercontinental).
Torah law also separates to a degree between judging and executing judgment. However, this separation is certainly less sharp than that of modern law, which is why we sometimes find a close involvement of Dayanim in the execution of their own judgment.
A Mistaken Judgment
The question of whether the Dayan was involved in the execution of the judgment, or only in its issue, is important if a Dayan makes a mistake.
If a Dayan gave a mistaken verdict and there is no longer any way of rectifying the financial loss that was caused as a result, we find a dispute among Poskim as to the Dayan’s liability to compensate the financial damage.
The Shulchan Aruch rules that the Dayan is exempt from payment, because “although he caused financial damage, this was done inadvertently” (
Choshen Mishpat 25:1). The rationale given by the Shulchan Aruch appears difficult: If damage was caused (assuming this is not considered indirect damage [ gerama]; see Sema 25:1), why do the Dayan’s good intentions make a difference?
The
Sema (25:6) explains that the exemption is a rabbinic enactment. If Dayanim were liable for damages caused by their mistaken judgments, “they would never judge.” For this reason, Dayanim who cause financial loss are exempt from paying the damage.
The Rema notes that the exemption for Dayanim is not accepted by all authorities in his time. However, the
Aruch HaShulchan writes that more recent authorities agree that Dayanim are exempt from financial liability, as ruled by the Shulchan Aruch. A Dayan who Executed the Judgment
The rulings above apply only to cases in which the Dayan in question did nothing more than issue his ruling. Where the Dayan was actively involved in executing the judgment, all agree that the Dayan is liable to pay for the financial damage inflicted (
Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 25:3).
The Rosh (
Sanhedrin 4:5) explains that in this case, the Dayan is considered to be negligent ( poshe’a) in executing the judgment: “He is considered negligent, for why did he have to directly execute the judgment?” A Dayan’s main role is to pass judgment. Although he has the authority to execute his own judgment, it is not incumbent on him to do so. By voluntarily taking on the execution phase, the Dayan is negligent in bringing about the mistaken result.
An exception to the rule is a
Dayan Mumcheh, an expert judge who is exempt even if he directly executes a mistaken judgment. The reason for this ( Shach 25:34-35) is that an expert judge can rely on his verdicts and assume them to be correct, so that his execution of the judgment is not considered negligent. This will of course not apply to a judge who is not expert. Of course, the distinction between an expert judge and a non-expert judge is not simple.
Note that in secular law this distinction does not exist; both branches, the judiciary and the executive, are given immunity with regard financial damages.
Conclusion
In his prophecy about the times of Mashiach, Yeshayahu mentions judges, but not police: “I will restore your judges as they were at first, and your advisers as they were in the beginning” (
Isaiah l:26). This statement is reflected in the parallel berachah of the Amidah prayer.
It is possible that the executive is omitted because in future times evil and selfishness disappear from the world (see
Zechariah 13:2), so that there will be no need for policemen who force people to be righteous. However, there will remain a need for Dayanim who will issue verdicts when questions arise between litigants, as well as providing practical direction to the people in matters of Torah and its commandments.
This demonstrates the secondary nature of the executive to Dayanim. Only where the Dayan is incapable of enforcing justice, must one resort to policemen to force the guilty party to accept the decision.

warc | 202143 | Van in Ho Chi Minh City’s Binh Tan District saw her income fall 25 percent to VND3.5 million ($152) last month, which has put a strain on her and her husband as their income is barely enough to make ends meet.
"These days both of us just stay at home and eat cheap meals just to get through the day," said the 35-year-old worker of a cosmetics factory. Her husband, unlike her, does not receive any support from his company despite being temporarily laid off.
They have sent their children to Van’s parents in the countryside to reduce the financial pressure. But Van’s father has recently suffered from a stroke, and she cannot support him due to her reduced pay.
Van is among many workers in HCMC who have seen their income reduced or been laid off in the latest Covid-19 wave that has caused factories to shut down and disrupted the lives of workers who have the added fear of contracting the novel coronavirus.
Thuy, a worker at Taiwanese footwear maker Pouyuen which manufactures for Nike and Adidas, said that her income has been falling due to fewer number of work days.
In the last two months, her income has dropped by 20 percent to VND8 million due to a low number of orders and no overtime.
The factory which belongs to a company that employs over 56,000 workers has been shut down for 10 days starting Wednesday as it could not arrange for all workers to reside on the premises as required by local authorities to limit contagion.
Thuy expected her income this month to fall over 50 percent or even get no pay at all as she had begun to take a period of 14 days off before the factory shut down for fear of contracting the virus and affecting her child.
In similar difficulties, Loan in District 7 last month saw her income drop by half as the neighborhood where she lived was placed under a 14-day lockdown due to Covid-19 cases.
"After the 14 days, now my company begins another 14-day lockdown," she said, adding that she plans to go back to her hometown after this period.
80,000 formal workers in HCMC had been laid off temporarily without pay by the end of June, and 230,000 informal workers saw their income reduced due to social distancing measures, according to official figures.
The city will support informal workers with VND50,000 per day for 30 days, and formal worker with VND1.8 million a month.
But with over 1.6 million workers in industrial parks and manufacturing zones and over 1,800 of them having contracted the novel coronavirus, there is growing fear in factories.
Ngoc, who works for Pouyuen, will receive support of VND170,000 a day from the company, but income is not the biggest concern for her now.
"My salary has dropped but I felt a burden lifted when the company shut down temporarily. The biggest pressure is not money but the risk of getting Covid-19."
Fear has spread to other localities near HCMC. 33-year-old Thao, who has been working at a curtain manufacturing factory in Binh Duong Province for five years for VND7 million a month, does not want to go to work now for fear of contracting the virus.
"My income has not dropped. But other colleagues and I go to work every day in fear. We just want to be laid off for a while."
Binh Duong, neighboring HCMC, has recorded over 1,800 Covid-19 cases.
Experts anticipate that the number of workers being laid off in HCMC is set to rise as the outbreak continues.
Huynh The Du, lecturer in public policy at the Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management, said that case studies in other countries have shown that there is no better help for these workers than increasing financial support and pushing vaccination.
It is necessary to protect the income and health of workers to ensure ongoing manufacturing. The economy cannot bear a large-scale suspension in production for months, he said.
Vaccination is the key, other officials have stated.
"There is no route out of this fourth wave without an ambitious and accelerated mass vaccination program which will enable normal life to resume," said EuroCham Chairman Alain Cany, adding that European companies are prepared to cover the cost of protecting their own staff.
Ngo Dang Khoa, head of global markets at HSBC Vietnam, said nationwide vaccination as key to sustainable economic recovery. | 4,293 | 2,017 | 2.128409 |
warc | 202143 | I'm trying to derive the solution to a final producer with unit elasticity of substitution and a continuum of inputs (of measure $x$).
She minimizes input costs, given an output of $q$.
$$ \min_{\{y(i)\}_i, 0 \leq i \leq x} \int_0^x p(i)y(i) di + \lambda\left[ \log q - \log A + \int_0^x \log y(i) di \right] $$
Combining two FOCs over $y(i)$ and $y(j)$, the shadow price drops out:
$$ y(i) = p(j) \frac{y(j)}{p(i)} $$
Multiply with $w(i)$ and integrate, to get total labor cost on the left-hand-side:
$$\underbrace{\int_0^x p(i)y(i)}_{C(x)} = p(j) y(j) x$$
Taking logs:
$$\log y(j) = \log(C(x)) - \log p(j) - \log x \tag 1$$
Plugging back into the production frontier:
$$ \log q = \log A(x) + \log(C(x)) - \log x - \underbrace{\int_0^x \log p(i) di}_{\equiv P(x)}$$
where I denote the price index as $P(x)$. Plugging back (1):
$$ \log q = \log A(x) + \log y(j) + \log p(j) - P(x)$$
or,
$$ q = \frac{A(x)y(j)p(j)}{P(x)} \\ y(j) = \frac{P(x)}{p(j)}\frac{q}{A(x)} $$
So, demand for each variety increases in total output $q$, decreases in productivity, and increases in the relative costs of variety $j$ compared to the total price index $P(x)$. This all appears to make sense.
However, Acemoglu gets for $x=1$, and $A(1) = 1$
$$ y(j) = \frac{q}{p(j)}$$
that is, the price index does not appear in his equation, which you can find in his slides, slide. What am I missing? | 1,428 | 784 | 1.821429 |
warc | 202143 | Arguably the most significant risk of any CAD manager isn’t what they do know but rather what they don’t know. We can plan and build strategies around what we know, but we can only react to the things we don’t know. And while this is an easy reality to recognize, the more demanding thing is to figure out something to do about it.
What can we do to increase our visibility into how teams use tools like AutoCAD within our organizations? How can we identify knowledge gaps, standardization needs, and training needs?
Perhaps more importantly, how can we gain management buy-in to the changes that need to be made to better help our team?
Ask a hundred CAD managers these questions, and you’re likely to get an equal number of answers. I’m no exception. I’ve even tried many of them. Of course, by trying, what I really mean is failing. Despite such setbacks, one approach has proven more successful than the rest.
What approach might that be?
For me, that’s been something I call a process assessment.
So, what is a process assessment?
Candidly it can be anything you want it to be. However, its central purpose is to formally assess the workflows and procedures your teams leverage to get their work done using tools like AutoCAD.
If you’ve been in CAD management for any time, there’s a good chance you’ve done something that resembles an assessment once, twice, or even many more times before. This is where the importance of your assessment being a formal process is critical. By formalizing the process you accomplish two key things.
First, a formal process is something that inherently has visibility at many levels throughout your organization. It’s not just the CAD manager haphazardly going around the office talking to people; it’s a process with a name. That name is important since it defines the identity of the process as a project with clear outcomes and deliverables. Something that stands in contrast to the ambiguous outcomes of a CAD manager chatting with people.
Secondly, as a project, stakeholders know what deliverables to expect based on the stated project outcomes. More importantly, stakeholders realize it’s a process with specific business outcomes. A process that will connect the dots between two mystical worlds: the world of technology and the world of business.
At this point, you might be wondering, how can you implement some form of a process assessment within your organization?
The answer to that question will be the focus of this multi-part series on conducting an AutoCAD process assessment. In each post, we’ll explore one step in the assessment process. During that exploration, we’ll study the purpose of that step, the fundamental way to accomplish that step, and what tools I’ve commonly used to achieve that step.
To start our journey, we’ll begin in the place every successful project starts – the plan.
Step 1: Define Your Objectives
As with any formal process, a successful process assessment starts with none other than a plan.
Under plan and your process assessment won’t have enough structure to determine any actionable outcomes. Over plan, and you’ll likely introduce predetermined outcomes into your assessment, thereby limiting its overall objectivity.
The key here is balance.
To achieve this balance, my process assessment planning begins by establishing the objectives of the assessment itself. As with any good project plan, you’ll want to determine your areas of focus. To avoid introducing predetermined outcomes, think of this step as defining where you’ll look—not what you’ll look for.
Your organization should strive to find the assessment objectives that best matches its needs, not the needs of some other organization. It’s OK to draw inspiration from what other firms may have done, but this is not the project to copy others and wish for great outcomes.
For me, when defining the objectives of a process assessment, I like to begin by looking at how my organization defines the very role of CAD management.
At my company, Timmons Group, we define the role of CAD management as the intersection of “people, process, and technology.”
For us, people is mainly about the professional development opportunities we offer our teams. Process is about the structures like CAD standards we define to help our teams do their jobs. Finally, technology represents the tools we provide to our teams to be successful when doing their jobs. In our view, these three pillars are coequal, and none can successfully exist without the other two.
Building upon this, when establishing the process assessment plan for Timmons Group, it was only natural that we define the focus areas of our assessment as people, process, and technology. Establishing these focus areas allows us to clearly define where we’re looking and where we’re not.
For example, someone might share comments about office amenities during the AutoCAD assessment process. While it’s OK to acknowledge such feedback, it similarly falls outside the scope of our AutoCAD assessment. Such a comment is likely better suited for a potential employee culture assessment.
Most importantly, whatever you determine as the focus areas of your assessment, your next step is to identify how and who will actually conduct it. This is where it’s pragmatic to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you can objectively conduct the assessment?
Suppose your answer is one of uncertainty as a measure of either bandwidth or objectivity. In that case, you’re probably not the right person for the job. Instead, you’ll probably be best served by leveraging an outside consultant.
If that’s the case for your organization, I recommend reaching out to the Autodesk Partner your organization works with. The professional services group of most Autodesk Partners offer some form of a process assessment service you can consult with them on.
Apart from approaching your firm in an unbiased way, a key benefit of leveraging an outside consultant is the perspectives they bring to the table from working with other firms.
Of course, while hiring an outside consultant will be the best answer for some organizations, your organization may decide to conduct the assessment itself. That, too, is entirely OK.
Starting Your AutoCAD Process Assessment
Should your organization choose to conduct its own process assessment, there are several things it will need to plan for. The first of those is who will conduct the assessment? The person conducting the assessment should be well-versed in AutoCAD. More importantly, the person must be someone your team trusts to objectively and anonymously report on what they observe.
This trust component cannot be overstated. If teams feel you will defend, not objectively report on what they share, those individuals will likely be very guarded in what they do share. Consequently, guarded responses will severely limit the visibility and depth of your process assessment. Put another way, this is not the time to explain your CAD standards, but instead listening to how teams feel they support or inhibit their projects.
Next, after determining who will conduct your organization’s assessment, you’ll need to determine how they’ll actually get the job done?
Your answer to this question will likely be influenced by the size of your very organization. For example, smaller organizations may very well be able to speak to everyone. In contrast, larger organizations will have to be more strategic in who they communicate with directly.
Wherever you fall in that range, you must find a way to solicit feedback from all levels of your organization. In other words, don’t focus exclusively on your production staff, project managers, managers, or leadership, but instead a blend of all of them. Part of what you’re trying to answer in this process assessment is how the challenges experienced by your production teams are shared by your organization’s management and leadership. Without speaking to each of them, it’s impossible to gain those insights.
Once you have a plan for these elements in place, it’s time to begin the process assessment itself. Conducting the process assessment, we’ll break this process into three primary steps. These steps will include collecting information, analyzing information, and finally sharing and articulating what you’ve learned.
Stay tuned for the next post in this series, where we’ll study how to collect information during your assessment. | 8,687 | 3,553 | 2.444976 |

Complex network theory provides an important tool for the analysis of complex systems such as the Earth’s climate. In this context, functional climate networks can be constructed using a spatiotemporal climate dataset and a suitable time series distance function. The resulting coarse-grained view on climate variability consists of representing distinct areas on the globe (i.e., grid cells) by nodes and connecting pairs of nodes that present similar time series. One fundamental concern when constructing such a functional climate network is the definition of a metric that captures the mutual similarity between time series. Here we study systematically the effect of 29 time series distance functions on functional climate network construction based on global temperature data. We observe that the distance functions previously used in the literature commonly generate very similar networks while alternative ones result in rather distinct network structures and reveal different long-distance connection patterns. These patterns are highly important for the study of climate dynamics since they generally represent pathways for the long-distance transportation of energy and can be used to forecast climate variability on subseasonal to interannual or even decadal scales. Therefore, we propose the measures studied here as alternatives for the analysis of climate variability and to further exploit their complementary capability of capturing different aspects of the underlying dynamics that may help gaining a more holistic empirical understanding of the global climate system.

warc | 202143 | What adheres to is actually an approach to creating an efficient write-up assessment. The strategies described have assisted many individuals to write efficient as well as convincing evaluations on a sizable assortment of targets. This article is extremely condensed and is developed to be a solid shape for executing analysis and making top quality study writing.
Creating Write-up Reviews does not must be actually Frightening
Post reviews, like publication files, need certainly not be as intimidating as many individuals assume they are actually that is actually, if you have actually read the short article that you aim to assess. Remember, having said that, that producing a write-up customer review needs to have to adhere to specific criteria which, if you are not utilized to all of them, may show up exacting. Along with a little bit of time as well as attempt, you can easily command the process.
You will locate your creating as well as study will come to be considerably easier if you take details and also observe these measures. Not only that, yet along the way you will modify the method or maybe create your own that benefits you. As well as what works for you is actually distinctly worth showing to others.
Very first thing First
Prior to composing your write-up review you will definitely want to make sure that you have the following things available given that you will definitely be quiting to create notes frequently. Have a note pad, whether it is actually the computer system kind, or the paper kind will not make a difference, although you may locate having a newspaper notepad to become beneficial; and this implies having a pen or pencil helpful. Likewise, have a highlighter to save you time later on as you assess the short article. Lastly, you will would like to possess some banner keeps in mind to denote web pages for testimonial. These resources will certainly permit you to acquire records successfully. Data Compiling: Prep Work is Everything
The title is the author’s subject, of training course, yet the abstract provides a simple alignment as to the ordinary of the write-up. The theoretical contains the vital factors that your customer review article will definitely attend to.
Conduct a quick rundown of the short article. At this moment you are certainly not diving deep, you simply wish to possess a quick glance by means of the whole entire part to find how it is put together; think of it as reconnaissance. Naturally, you are reliant find interesting passages or recommendations along the way– utilize your highlighter and also unpleasant notes to mark these areas.
Now take a short break to allow what you have actually skimmed to penetrate a little bit. This doesn’t need to be actually anything lavish, just take a couple of mins to rest before you begin your comprehensive reading. When back at your research read through very carefully and also deliberately, take notes and also make our team of your denoting resources. As you read through, always keep the adhering to inquiries in mind, “is the author, or writers, advocating the canons of the write-up? Why or why certainly not?”
The factor for this workout is to keep concentration on the topic and to always keep a critical eye on the post you are reviewing. Your notes should reference extracts or concepts that have actually recorded your eye, keep track of webpages as well as paragraphs when taking keep in minds.
A further pointer for investigation note taking is to briefly explain to your own self why something recorded you eye or even offered you stop. Does this suggestion advise you of something else you possess found or gone through? Bring in notice of any titles or authors that come to mind. Perhaps that someone has actually related to an opposite final thought on this quite topic, or even that there’s a tangential assistance of the topic by means of a job or research study that has nothing to do with the area of investigation whatsoever.
When it arrives time to write your review, referencing other methods of details as they relate to the target at hand can easily be a highly effective way to support your theme. Consider that these sources may be key, if brought into play in the post you are investigating, or secondary typically. Not that you will always must feature these details in your post testimonial, but it is crucial to become able to set apart.
Establishing a Topic
When your centered plunge is completed, assess what you have checked out as well as list your thought and feelings. This is the factor where you start to build the theme, or research of your article customer review. Think about exactly how the short article helped in its own purported location of research. Free association is actually a really good strategy for this exercise as the subject is fresh in your thoughts.
As soon as you are actually carried out with the 1st impressions, feature your keep in minds. The notes you have taken and also the pages you have actually hailed and also highlighted will certainly all possess one thing in common; thus, if you were having a hard time for a subject matter, and even if you actually possessed a topic in thoughts, this workout is actually a great technique to analyze and also consider the strategy of your article customer review.
Keep in mind that the subject itself will either contain the outcome or even at least give a pointer as to what is actually to be actually obtained coming from the Article Testimonial. Inquire on your own if the verdict is actually tenable or even convincing– look back to your sources for advice as well as talk about the subject along with others.
However, rousing controversy simply for debate is actually sophomoric and also not encouraged; it is going to illuminate nothing at all as well as drop its hit immediately. You recognize when you have arrived on your topic when you want what you would like to talk about, and your study notes give the meat to support your reports. Interest equates to intriguing, readers will know if the subject matter does not interest you. Today is actually the amount of time to begin assembling the challenge.
The Summary
The overview, after that does not need to have to be in rock. Composing is actually an artistic procedure and as you write your post evaluation, new ideas will definitely happen to you.
As pointed out, your conclusion is present throughout your write-up evaluation, coming from abstract to last paragraph. A research study article is actually no different.
1. The bottom line.
2. The backing points (multiple paragraphs). 3. The final thought. Another means to examine the rundown for a post assessment might be actually practical. Rather than a mechanical representational, look at the adhering to strategy as you make your synopsis:
4. What perform I want to say?
5. Just how perform I intend to state it? 6. What is my aspect?
A different angle can at times confirm useful. Utilize this method to give your own self a broader view of the project. It is actually listed here that referrals may start to be positioned.
The Structure is actually Developed
There should know be a sound structure on which you can easily build your article review. Everything up-front work may have seemed to some to be extreme, yet listed below is actually where it pays off. Through organizing your thoughts in this way, you have saved a sizable amount of your time in your creation.
A write-up assessment is just like any various other job that requires to be actually handled, taking the opportunity to organize at the start implies a lot less rework and also complication during the course of the process. You will certainly make higher top quality job in a briefer duration if you take the opportunity.
What adheres to is actually an approach to creating a helpful article evaluation. Article assesses, like manual reports, require not be as daunting as many people presume they are that is, if you have gone through the post that you intend to assess. Prior to creating your short article evaluation you will certainly want to make certain that you possess the following products within scope due to the fact that you will definitely be actually quiting to make keep in minds frequently. Writing is actually an artistic process and also as you create your write-up assessment, brand new suggestions will certainly happen to you.
A write-up review is simply like any sort of various other venture that needs to have to be managed, taking the time to intend at the beginning indicates less rework and also complication throughout the process. | 8,651 | 3,688 | 2.345716 |

warc | 202143 | Today, numbers are more golden to business than ever before. In fact, this is what Pythagoras means when he avers:
“numbers rule the universe.” Mankind largely survives on numbers.
On a daily basis, we count, score, measure, tally and sort things. We are equally involved in adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying things; intentionally or unintentionally. For example if you have ten mangoes and give two to your children, you will have subtracted two mangoes from the ten mangoes you had (10 subtract 2). Similarly, if you get five more mangoes from the market, you will have added five on the mangoes you had (8 add 5). If you tell the two children to share eight mangoes equally, you will have performed a division activity (8 divided by 2). Finally, if you wanted to give each child five mangoes and you have two children you will have performed a multiplication function (5 multiplied by 2). When you systematically and logically perform the above routines, you will have started on a journey of making numbers have meaning, sense and value.

warc | 202143 | Living with type 2 diabetes can be difficult. Given the many risks and severe effects this disease has on your body, it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle that involves regular exercise.
Exercising can go a long way in maintaining your weight and blood sugar levels, and it may also reduce your risk of suffering from a stroke or heart attack.
If you suffer from prediabetes and have a family history, staying active can prevent it from progressing further. Experts recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every week.
Here are nine exercises that will help you manage your diabetes better and reach your fitness goals:
Walking
You don’t necessarily need to hit the gym to get moving. You can start slow by going for short walks around your block or in a nearby park. This is a great way of getting exercise and fresh air. A 30-minute brush walk, five days a week is more than enough to get you working towards your fitness goals.
Cycling
Almost half of the people suffering from type 2 diabetes also have arthritis that can lead to severe joint pains. Cycling is an easy exercise that doesn’t cause a lot of strain on any major joints.
Swimming
Aquatic activities like water aerobics and swimming are more joint-friendly exercise alternatives. They put very little stress on your joints while giving your muscles, heart, lungs a great workout.
Aerobics or Zumba
If you think working out in a gym is boring, consider signing up for aerobics dance classes. These are fun and entertaining ways of staying fit as they combine aerobic movements and dance to deliver a fast-paced workout.
Resistance Band Exercises
Resistance bands can help you strengthen your muscles, increase your strength, and bring your blood sugar level in control.
Pilates
Pilates is a movement-centered workout that helps improve coordination, core strength, and balance. Recent studies show that older women suffering from type 2 diabetes can benefit greatly from pilates and also improve their blood sugar levels.
Yoga
According to experts, yoga helps type 2 diabetes patients manage their blood sugar, weight, and cholesterol levels. It can also help lower blood pressure, boost your mood and help you sleep better. | 2,263 | 1,135 | 1.993833 |
warc | 202143 | Another solar storm — also referred to as a geomagnetic storm — is due for tonight in the high latitudes of the globe due to a hole that has opened up in the sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, causing northern lights to appear above the horizon.
This disturbance, part of the Sun’s normal cycle, in which plasma and geomagnetic fields are launched into space, will most likely occasion power grid and satellite orientation problems along with high-frequency radiowave issues. This may result in problems using GPS systems since they are reliant on satellite positioning and communications.
But that will all be worthwhile for stargazers, as they will be treated to some spectacular displays of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, as far south as New York tonight.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), along with the British Met Office, say that tonight’s storm, the fruit of several solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar winds that will be exploding from the hole in the corona, will be a relatively mild one regarding problems caused to humans.
The CMEs that that astronomers believe will take place tonight will be rated only as a G2 in size, with G5 the strongest solar storm that could take place.
The NOAA says that a Fall treat may occur for lucky skywatchers in that the resultant “Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.”
Such cyclical events are in the normal pattern for our Sun, which periodically emits huge flaming fingers of plasma into space. Experts say that there will be more such occurrences in the upcoming years, with solar winds causing disruptions to our magnetic fields and the upper atmosphere on Earth to follow.
Northern lights occur when plasma from Sun strikes Earth’s magnetic field
CMEs can of course take place anywhere on the Sun’s outer surface; however, if one happens when the Earth is in its direct path, the collision of the solar plasma with the magnetic field that encircles the Earth can cause a geomagnetic storm.
Beautiful to look at from space — and from Earth as well, as iridescent hues dance across the poles — these “solar storms” cause all manner of havoc if they occur at the wrong times.
The holes in the Sun’s corona consist of cooler, less dense areas of plasma; they also have more open magnetic fields, which poses ongoing issues for us here on Earth.
This allows solar winds to blow electromagnetic radiation into space at enormous velocities.
If it just so happens in our planet’s trip around the Sun that that hole is oriented toward Earth when the solar winds start blowing, those solar projections can blow straight at us, causing not only for a beautiful multicolor extravaganza at the poles but all sorts of telecommunications problems as well.
For better or worse, this is what will be happening tonight. As the British met office says on its website, “There are four CME which may affect the Earth.
“Three of these could arrive separately or as a single combined feature during September 27, with a further CME perhaps glancing the earth later on the 27th or during September 28. A coronal hole fast wind may also affect the Earth on September 27 and 28, although any effects from this wind are considered uncertain.
“There is also a low risk that the CMEs and fast wind may affect the earth at similar times, providing a greater effect. Any enhancements would then ease during September 28 and 29.”
When the earth is the recipient of these plasma flameouts and solar winds, charged particles that collide with our magnetic field are sent flying, along the lines of the magnetic fields, toward the poles. After massing there, they then shower down into the upper atmosphere of the Earth, colliding with the molecules there and causing the stunning lights we call the aurora borealis or the Aurora australis.
The resulting lights, sometimes forming enormous multicolored curtains, are the most spectacular sights to be seen in our night skies.
Despite this event not being one of the strongest geomagnetic storms, at G2 on the scale, the light show will be one of the brighter ones in recent times.
Space Weather’s aurora forecast calls for the solar storm to give those in the Northern hemisphere a show of Kp 6 on the ten-point Kp index for geomagnetic storms — meaning there is a strong possibility of being able to see bright auroras, with a likelihood of auroral coronae around the pole.
The Sun, as part of its normal 11-year-long cycle, is now experiencing the most active time of all. Called the “solar maximum,” this means that the solar magnetic field is at its strongest point.
This also means that all possible activity related to this magnetic field is at its most volatile, with sunspots (the areas of especially strong magnetism), solar flares reaching out into space and coronal mass ejections becoming common.
Earlier in 2021 the Sun emitted its most powerful flare in four years, in an event captured in September of 2017.
Its peak activity is expected to occur as part of the cycle in July 2025, after which things will calm down once again into what astronomers call the “solar minimum.” For now, however, enjoy the light show, and just remember when those electronic devices start acting up, it’s all worthwhile to see such a spectacular display. | 5,456 | 2,451 | 2.22603 |
warc | 202143 | Niger to Improve Women and Girl’s Access to Nutrition and Health Services
The Nigerien government will be able to provide its population with better health coverage with financing approved today by the World Bank. This 15-year multiphase program will use innovative and comprehensive nutrition and health interventions to improve health system efficiency, equity, and sustainability, as well as boost girls’ and women’s empowerment.
Niger's health system faces immense challenges. Despite progress in recent years, the country has a high under-five mortality rate of 77 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2020 and stunting continues to have devastating effects on the long-term development of Niger's human capital. Lack of qualified health professionals, particularly doctors, nurses, and medical assistants, has an impact on overall public health. In addition, more than 75% of girls are married before the age of 18, and 30% marry before the age of 15.
“
Improving health and nutrition outcomes, as well as empowering girls and women to accelerate the demographic transition will require a transformational commitment over the long term,” says Joelle Dehasse, World Bank Country Manager for Niger. “ The World Bank is strongly committed to build human capital and improve the lives of the poorest in a fragile context. Refugees and host communities, who use health care services in the targeted areas, will also benefit from these improved basic services.” The first phase of the MPA, the Niger – Improving women's and girls’ access to improved health and nutrition services (Lafia-Iyali) project aims to increase the utilization of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition services and improve key behaviors known to improve health and nutrition outcomes, as well as girls’ and women´s agency in Zinder and Maradi region. Specifically, the project will increase the coverage, utilization and quality of the integrated package of services, as well as the continuity of services to address under-five child mortality, maternal mortality and sexual and reproductive health. It will support demand for health and nutrition services to promote key behaviors for increased demand. About 6,500,000 people, including refugees, and IDPs will benefit from the project by 2026.
The total financing for the project’s first phase is $125 million. This includes a $25 million grant from the Global Financing Facility (GFF), a global partnership hosted at the World Bank that supports country-led efforts to prioritize investments in the health, nutrition and well-being of women, children and adolescents while building more resilient and inclusive health systems. The project aligns with Niger’s investment case, supported by the GFF, to accelerate health and nutrition outcomes for women, children and adolescents.

warc | 202143 | Tips to Try New Vaping Flavors
Vaporizing flavors of e-juice is a fun activity for most people. The practice has been around for quite some time but in recent years it is becoming extremely popular. There are lots of companies out there which have developed a variety of different flavors, and now you can choose from literally hundreds of different flavors when vaporizing your e-juice. On this page I am going to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of vaporizing your own e-juice.
You can find three main advantages to using your own e-juice. To begin with, creating your own e-juice can help you save money. Most e-juices are very expensive to purchase in liquid form, particularly if you are purchasing in bulk.
Second, you can create your own flavors efficiently at home. This saves your money, since you do not have to buy any e-juice to try. Third, it allows you to have more control over the quality of your e-juice. You can control the flavor by dose, nicotine strength, and much more. Just imagine to be able to make your own e-juice with only four or five simple ingredients! Not only are you experiencing more options but the better quality you create will be better tasting aswell.
To make your own e-juice you should get your hands on some great tasting herbal extracts. These flavors will impart a lot of different aromas into your vaporizer. Lots of people like to experiment with different combinations of flavors. You can find thousands of possible combinations. Tinkering with new combinations is always fun, and you also never know, your combinations may be popular.
Once you have your extracts you are going to need to create a glass jar with a good lid. This will help keep your vaporizer clean and free of air. Your wick ought to be small enough that it doesn’t obstruct the air flow. You will want to place the wick in the jar and stick it on the bottom inside of the glass container. The wick should fit snuggly so that it doesn’t spill or fall out of the glass.
The next thing is to assemble the jars together. You will need to line the bottom of the jar with a little little bit of paper and label it “juice”. Vape Pens You then are likely to take your wax mixture and put it in to the bottom of the jar. You should also do this with your herbal extract. Now all you have to do is fill the entire jar with the correct amount of your preferred e-liquid.
Finally you are likely to want to light your electric pen. Slowly mix the e-juice into the pen. You don’t desire to mix too much or else it will burn your lips. If you discover your lips are burning then slow down the mixing process.
Vaping flavors is an extremely fun thing to do. The flavors it is possible to create are almost endless. Although you may aren’t good at creating your personal flavors, there are many great ones found online and in shops. Just take some time to find them. There are also plenty of great resources available to help you to get started and use these liquids correctly.
In terms of using the e-liquid that you decide to use in your vaporizer, it is important to follow the directions on the bottle. For example, it is important to browse the directions on the Cloud Vaporizer to know how much you should use. You also need to be sure that you have the right type of container where to store it in. Glass jars and metal containers both work well. If you are uncertain about which to use, just search for the Cloud vaporizer liquid recipe.
Once you have chosen your flavors, you will have to add them to the vaporizer. To get this done, simply place the container of your choice in to the mouthpiece. Then utilize the vaporizer to heat it up. You might hear a clicking noise. This is due to the heating of the glass jars containing your favorite flavors.
When the liquid reaches its boiling point, turn the vaporizer off and place the container in an awesome, dark place. Allow ingredients cool before you drink it. Wait at least two hours or overnight before enjoying it. The flavors can be more sophisticated as they age. | 4,084 | 1,845 | 2.21355 |

Documentation and Record Keeping
Don’t chart for someone else or let anyone else chart for you.Do not let anyone use your clock-in system, when things get busy we tend to take shortcuts, but with our record keeping it must not be done. It’s illegal and unethical.
Your electronic task sheets indicate what services you provided for your client during your visit, take the needed time when filling it out.
Each task sheet is reviewed by the RN for accuracy.
Do not clock in or out early. If this should happen , remember you must inform the office as we are responsible to Medicaid . They want to know why that occurred.
Medicaid is very specific with their authorizations and it is up to us to follow them.
We have clients that use a paper task sheet (DDSN, VA)
It is the responsibility of the aide to make sure you have clean copies of these.
DO NOT scratch out on these sheets, do not use White Out or write over. Everything needs to be legible. They must be accurately dated, signed by the aide and the caregiver or family member and turned in weekly. A new sheet must be used each week.
If you encounter any difficulty using the Care Call system or the APP, please reach out to your office team.
Documentation is not difficult, but it must be done properly. Your charting is just as important as that of every other member of the health care team. Your observations provide a baseline of each clients status and can be the key to noticing a change in the clients condition.
Remember that your clients are counting on you, so take pride in your charting.
When you forget to clock in/out a blank task sheet is still printed. This sheet is reviewed by Medicaid and it now looks like you did not assist the client at all.
So that being said, while clocking in/out drives the way the office does your payroll, it is also very important if not more important to Medicaid.
Take the time and fill it out accurately indicating the tasks that you assisted your client with that day. Remember we are a NON-MEDICAL provider and while you may see some medical tasks on that sheet, DO NOT check them. These sheets are used by various Medicaid providers. | 2,445 | 1,225 | 1.995918 |
warc | 202143 | College Partners with Albany International Airport to Launch New Aeronautical Technology Institute
June 3, 2021
Region’s First Aviation Maintenance Technician School to Address Growing Industry Workforce Demand
Creating opportunities for well-paid technical careers and supporting the regional aviation industry, Hudson Valley Community College is partnering with Albany International Airport to open a new Aeronautical Technology Institute and create an Aviation Maintenance Technician School (AMTS) located at the airport.
The AMTS will be an educational facility certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to train aircraft mechanics for careers in the airline industry, and it is envisioned as one part of the college’s new Aeronautical Technology Institute. The institute also aims to offer both degree and certificate programs and non-credit, short-term workforce training programs taught by college faculty.
Programs and courses will be conducted in Hangar 1 at the Albany International Airport, which will have more than 12,000 square feet of classrooms, labs and shop space for instruction and hands-on training when renovations are completed later this year.
The need for aviation maintenance technicians is already strong and will continue due to the retirement of those currently working in the field. A 2019-2020 Aviation Technician Education Council Pipeline Report noted that 33 percent of airframe and powerplant technicians in the country are at or nearing retirement age. The report also indicates that the industry will need to produce another 2,700 mechanics over the 2019 output each year to meet U.S. market demand over the next two decades.
This shortfall is echoed in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, as the overall employment of aviation equipment mechanics and technicians is projected to grow five percent annually from 2019 to 2029.
In the Capital Region, aviation mechanics and service technicians earn a median salary of $55,000. The NYS Department of Labor projects a 15.4 percent increase in demand for aviation mechanics and service technicians through 2026. In addition, a survey of regional airlines flying out of Albany International Airport indicates that each airline expects an average projected need of up to 10 more aviation mechanics per year over the next five years.
In early 2020, Albany International Airport learned in discussion with its airline partners of the need for more aircraft mechanics locally. Albany International Airport leadership reached out to Hudson Valley Community College who immediately joined the partnership. At the same time, Albany International Airport learned via one of its signatory airlines that Champlain Valley Educational Services Board of Cooperative Educational Services (CVES), located in Plattsburgh, decided to discontinue its Aviation Maintenance Technician School. Hudson Valley Community College took the opportunity to purchase the majority of that program’s equipment and curricula.
The college secured funds to purchase the CVES program for $1.5 million and partnered with the airport to conceive and house the Aeronautical Technology Institute, drastically speeding up the program’s implementation timeline. College funding came from a 2020-21 Perkins Grant, a $500,000 loan from its Faculty Student Association and a $500,000 gift from the Hudson Valley Community College Foundation.
Last fall, the college began the transportation of equipment from CVES in Plattsburgh to the Albany International Airport. The CVES curriculum is now being refined to meet Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 147 Certification as classrooms and labs undergo renovations in Hangar 1. The college also plans to purchase additional state-of-the-art equipment and supplies, with the goal of achieving FAR Part 147 Certification and state approvals to begin training aviation technicians by Fall 2022. Several classes and information sessions will be held at the airport this fall.
As many as 40 students are expected to enroll in new aviation programs, and up to 15 incoming students will be awarded scholarships of as much as $10,000 from the Hudson Valley Community College Foundation. These scholarships will help recruit students who reside in economic opportunity zones or are traditionally underrepresented in STEM, as well as military veterans and under-employed or unemployed individuals.
“This is a fine example of Hudson Valley Community College seeing an educational need in our community and taking steps to address it,” said Hudson Valley Community College President Roger Ramsammy. “When I first arrived at Hudson Valley, we met with the leadership of the Albany International Airport and heard their concerns about the need for aviation mechanic training. We are so pleased to announce this partnership today, which will not only serve the needs of our airport and the airlines it serves but also create well-paying careers that will ultimately benefit the communities of the Capital Region.”
“As a leading economic engine for the Capital Region, the Albany International Airport is committed to supporting our airlines and our workforce with the establishment of the Hudson Valley Community College Aeronautical Technology Institute,” said Philip Calderone, CEO of the Albany County Airport Authority. “This comprehensive aviation program will act as an incentive for new and emerging airlines to serve Albany International Airport and attract additional aircraft maintenance facilities along with their well-paying jobs. Along with HVCC and Albany County, we are committed to ensuring that these new job opportunities particularly benefit low income and minority students. This is a critical initiative as we move into a post pandemic world.”
With decades of experience, the college has a proven track record in the delivery of skills-based education and job training for thousands of students each year. The college’s Applied Technologies Department, which will oversee the new program, also offers degrees and certificates in Advanced Manufacturing Technologies; Automotive Technical Services; Electrical, Construction and Maintenance; Electrical Engineering Technologies; Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technologies; and Mechatronics. Students have a job placement rate of more than 90 percent prior to graduation.
In addition, the college’s Office of Workforce Development provides 80 non-credit, professional development and training opportunities to address workforce needs across a variety of industries. Within the past five years, it has trained more than 2,500 students, with an average completion rate of nearly 80 percent. Currently, the office supports more than 40 New York State registered apprentices in non-credit and credit-related instruction. | 6,878 | 2,836 | 2.425247 |
warc | 202143 | The Bible, as we have shared, is a book of knowledge, or His-story.
So many times we refer to His-story. Is God bored? I say that in Respect.
A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
and hastens to the place where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they flow again.
All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.
There is no remembrance of former things,
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to be among those who come after.
For a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day.
We have shared that ‘time’ in Heaven (The Spiritual) does not exist.
2 Peter 3:8 indicates that the days of creation might not be literal, but thousands of years long!
2 Peter 3:8–9 reads:
‘But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.’
The first thing to note that the context has nothing to do with the days of creation. Also, it is not defining a day because it doesn’t say ‘a day is a thousand years’. The correct understanding is derived from the context—the Apostle Peter’s readers should not lose heart because God seems slow at fulfilling His promises because He is patient, and also because He is not bound by time as we are.
The text says ‘one day is like [or as] a thousand years’—the word ‘like’ (or ‘as’) shows that it is a figure of speech, called a simile, to teach that God is outside of time (because He is the Creator of time itself). In fact, the figure of speech is so effective in its intended aim precisely because the day is literal and contrasts so vividly with 1000 years. For to the eternal Creator of time, a short period of time and a long period of time may as well be the same.
There is nothing new under the sun. We are aware of history, in most cases we refute and pray it does not happen again, but all that is has been before. We stand in a place that has been stood in before. In the human race, is there a single thing that has not occurred?
Yes, there are ‘new’ development’s, however any new development pertains to an existing existence.
We are blessed! Once there existed fuel, but none new of its use or existence. We developed ways to utilize what God placed here.
We have knowledge, but few have wisdom if we take a quick glance back at history.
The greatest story in the Bible of someone who sought after the knowledge and wisdom of God and actually received it, was King Solomon in the Old Testament.
What happened to this man was just about beyond belief.
When Solomon became King of Israel, he knew he did not have the knowledge and wisdom to properly rule his people. So what did he do? He went directly to God the Father and asked Him for His knowledge and wisdom to rule the people.
You see King Solomon admitted his weakness in this area and was not afraid to press in and start asking God for His knowledge.
So what did God do when he asked Him for His knowledge to help rule his people? God did not meet him halfway – He met him all the way! | 3,880 | 1,790 | 2.167598 |

Work-life balance conjures up a particular image…
The culture of overwork is unhealthy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying to you and/or to themself. …
In 2020, office life quickly became about adapting to a rapidly changing environment. To survive, businesses had to go remote and do it fast. And for a time, this rapidly changing environment kept people on their toes.

The Zeigarnik Effect refers to people’s tendency to remember interrupted or incomplete tasks better than they remember completed ones. Which sounds good, after all, it’s more beneficial to remember what needs to be done. Also, it’s good that we should want to finish tasks that we have started.
Except, it’s…
It’s one the biggest hurdles to having remote workers. How do you know they’re doing the work? After all, when they are in the office you can see what an employee is doing. It is far easier to monitor their work and manage expectations.

warc | 202143 | No matter how great your office chair is, sitting in it all day isn’t doing your body any favors. But being on your feet constantly isn’t good for your comfort or health, either. An electric, height-adjustable standing desk gives you the best of both worlds. Want a productivity and energy boost? Push a button to raise the desk so you can move a little while working. Feel like leaning back in your chair for some deep focus time? Push another button to lower the desk. After reevaluating our top picks and spending nearly three months testing four of the top standing desks, we’ve determined that the Uplift V2 is the best standing desk for most people. It accommodates a wide range of heights, it’s stable at even its tallest setting, and it features a greater variety of attractive customization options than you’ll find on any competitor.
Our pick
The Uplift V2 Standing Desk offers the best mix of performance and features of the desks we tested. It responds quickly to control-pad input (from your choice of four keypad designs) and produces minimal wobble even at tall heights. It should accommodate people of the average female and average male seated and standing heights, but if you’re shorter than 5′4″—something that applies to a wide swath of the population—the desk likely wouldn’t work for you without a footrest. In that case, we recommend the Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk or the Fully Jarvis Laminate Standing Desk with a three-stage low-range frame. We found the walnut laminate on the Uplift we tested to be attractive and realistic, and in previous tests, panelists loved the look of the 1-inch-thick curved bamboo desktop. But if you’d prefer a different style, Uplift offers more than 20 desktop options, including several unusual but expensive wood tops such as acacia and pheasantwood. The company also has four frame colors, three grommet colors, and three keypad colors to choose from, as well as multiple add-on accessories, so you can truly make this desk your own.
Also great
The Jarvis with a bamboo top is attractive and pleasant to work on, has a lower base price than many competitors, and is available in desk sizes as small as 30 inches wide. The low-range frame accommodates most people 4′9″ to 5′11″.
The Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk and the Fully Jarvis Laminate Standing Desk have the same frame, just different top options to suit your preference. They offer everything we look for in a good adjustable-height standing desk: a wide range of heights to accommodate most people, a long warranty, reliable customer support, and stability in line with that of most other desks we tested. The Jarvis was our top pick for more than four years, and it’s still a great desk—one that Fully has made even better in the past year with improvements to the frame that reduce wobbling at all heights. It doesn’t have as many customization options as the Uplift V2, but when equipped with its three-stage low-range frame, it works for people as short as 4′9″ and costs about $50 less (at this writing) than our previous top pick with an extended height range, the Uplift V2-Commercial Standing Desk. The laminate tops we tested look great but are prone to smudging, so if you can spend a bit more, we recommend the bamboo top or the techwood top (we didn’t test any of the other desktop styles).
Budget pick
If you can’t tolerate any wobble at all and tend to be a heavy typist, the Vari is the desk to get. It happens to be a bargain, too. However, you can choose from only five laminate desktops.
Buying Options
*At the time of publishing, the price was $550.
The Vari Electric Standing Desk 48×30 is the sturdiest standing desk we’ve ever tested. Last year, Vari updated the frame so it no longer has a crossbar, but it’s still rock-solid even at its tallest height settings. It has a height range similar to that of the Uplift V2 (best for people between 5′4″ and 7′). It also has the fewest assembly steps among the desks in our test group. But the only customization option lets you choose one of five laminate tops—that’s it. The chamfered edges of the desktops make it look less boxy, but in previous years’ testing some panelists disliked the fake-looking butcher-block finish. (We did like the look of the reclaimed wood top, though.) Unlike our other picks, the Vari is available in only two sizes: 48 by 30 inches and 60 by 30 inches. Finally, the Vari has a five-year warranty, a shorter amount of coverage than you get from Uplift’s and Fully’s 10-year warranties.

warc | 202143 | China has denounced a nuclear submarine deal among the U.S., the U.K. and Australia — and tensions in the Indo-Pacific region will likely continue to rise, said an analyst at consultancy firm Eurasia Group.
“Given the geography of the region and given the security stakes in the region, one would hope that prudence would prevail,” says Ali Wyne, senior analyst at Eurasia Group.
“I think that right now, certainly the military balance of power is going to grow more contested,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Monday.
The U.S., U.K. and Australia last week announced a new security partnership that seeks to strengthen stability in the Indo-Pacific region. It comes as China continues to expand its military presence and influence in the region.
As part of the deal, the U.S. and U.K. will also assist Australia in acquiring nuclear-powered submarines, which will allow the Australian navy to help counter Chinese nuclear-powered vessels in the region.
But a diplomatic crisis has erupted.
As a result of the agreement with the U.S. and U.K., Australia scrapped another deal to buy conventionally powered submarines from France. The French were angered by the deal and recalled its ambassadors from the U.S. and Australia.
China also denounced the deal.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian slammed the three countries for “severely damaging regional peace and stability, intensifying an arms race, and damaging international nuclear non-proliferation efforts,” according to a Reuters report.
Wyn said there had been talk that the “military balance of power” in the region was “narrowing in Beijing’s favor.”
However, he added: “With this deal, I do think that the military balance is going to shift a little bit more away from Beijing.”
The announcement of the security partnership comes as Biden attempts to reframe the United States’ approach to the growing power of China in the wake of the Trump administration’s trade war with the Asian giant, and as the world continues to grapple with the Covid pandemic, which was first discovered in Wuhan, China.
Biden previously said his approach to China would be different from his predecessor’s and that he would work more closely with America’s allies in order to mount pushback against Beijing.
What Beijing might do next
Australia’s new fleet of nuclear-powered submarines will probably only be delivered during the 2030s, Wyne estimated.
In the interim, China is set to enhance its military capabilities, according to him.
“I think that we can expect the Chinese is going to accelerate its military modernization efforts, it wants to push back against these efforts,” Wyne said.
“So the question becomes what will China be able to accomplish in in this decade,” he said. “And what contribution will this new fleet of nuclear powered submarines, contribute to deterrence capacity, starting — let’s say in the early 2030s – going forward.”
Implications for the South China Sea
China claims almost all of the South China Sea, a massive body of water that stretches about 1,200 miles from the Chinese mainland. The sea covers a massive 1.4 million square miles and is abutted by eight countries with a combined population of about 2 billion people.
The Asian giant has had skirmishes with other countries over their claims over the South China Sea. The other major claimants to the resource-rich waterway are the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei.
The U.S. doesn’t claim any part of the South China Sea as its own but has long promoted the “freedom of navigation” by air and sea across the waterway, which Washington has accused Beijing of militarizing.
Eurasia’s Wyne said there’s a “low probability” of security crises arising over the South China Sea.
“But it does raise the pressure and it does raise the risk of miscalculation,” he said.
Wyne’s sentiment was shared by Michael Klare, a professor in peace and world security studies at Hampshire College. Klare warned that the security partnership among the U.S., the U.K. and Australia may not be “a path to peace and stability” in the Indo-Pacific.
“Tensions between U.S. and China were rising before this. There were rising tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea; there were increased U.S. naval engagements in those areas, China has responded in kind — so you have a build up in military tensions in Asia,” Klare told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” Tuesday.
“It will be tit-for-tat, everybody is going to have to now crank up their capabilities.”

warc | 202143 | A Facebook whistleblower who brought internal documents detailing the company’s research to The Wall Street Journal and the U.S. Congress unmasked herself ahead of an interview she gave to “60 Minutes,” which aired Sunday night.
Frances Haugen, a former product manager on Facebook’s civic misinformation team, according to her website, revealed herself as the source behind a trove of leaked documents. On her personal website, she shared that during her time at the company, she “became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company makes prioritizing their own profits over public safety — putting people’s lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk, Frances made the courageous act to blow the whistle on Facebook.”
Haugen previously worked as a product manager at Pinterest, Yelp and Google, according to her LinkedIn profile. She also lists herself as the technical co-founder behind the dating app Hinge, saying she took its precursor, Secret Agent Cupid, to market.
“I’ve seen a bunch of social networks and it was substantially worse at Facebook than anything I’d seen before,” Haugen told “60 Minutes.”
Haugen told “60 Minutes” she left Facebook in May.
Jeff Horwitz, the Journal reporter who wrote the series of articles based on the leaked documents, also shared Haugen’s identity on Twitter on Sunday night, revealing her as the key source behind the stories.
The documents, first reported by the Journal, revealed that Facebook executives had been aware of negative impacts of its platforms on some young users, among other findings. For example, the Journal reported that one internal document found that of teens reporting suicidal thoughts, 6% of American users traced the urge to kill themselves to Instagram.
Facebook has since said that the Journal’s reporting cherry-picked data and that even headlines on its own internal presentations ignored potentially positive interpretations of the data, like that many users found positive impacts from engagement with their products.
“Every day our teams have to balance protecting the ability of billions of people to express themselves openly with the need to keep our platform a safe and positive place,” Facebook spokesperson Lena Pietsch said in a statement following Haugen’s identity reveal. “We continue to make significant improvements to tackle the spread of misinformation and harmful content. To suggest we encourage bad content and do nothing is just not true.”
Haugen said she decided this year to make Facebook’s internal communications public, saying she realized she would need to do so “in a systemic way” and “get out enough that no one can question that this is real.”
Haugen in turn copied and released tens of thousands of pages of documents, “60 Minutes” reported.
Haugen pointed to the 2020 election as a turning point at Facebook. She said Facebook had announced it was dissolving the “Civic Integrity” team, to which she was assigned, after the election. Just a few months later, social media communications would be a key focus in the wake of the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
“When they got rid of Civic Integrity, it was the moment where I was like, ‘I don’t trust that they’re willing to actually invest what needs to be invested to keep Facebook from being dangerous,'” Haugen told “60 Minutes.”
Facebook told the news program that it had distributed the work of the Civic Integrity team to other units.
Haugen pointed to Facebook’s algorithm as the element that pushes misinformation onto users. She said Facebook recognized the risk of misinformation to the 2020 election and therefore added safety systems to reduce that risk. But, she said, Facebook loosened those safety measures once again after the election.
“As soon as the election was over, they turned them back off or they changed the settings back to what they were before, to prioritize growth over safety,” Haugen said. “And that really feels like a betrayal of democracy to me.”
In an interview with the Journal published shortly after the “60 Minutes” piece began to air, Haugen said she had found much of the research she took with her in Facebook’s internal employee forum, which she said was accessible to virtually all Facebook employees. She looked for research from colleagues she admired, according to the Journal, which she often found in goodbye posts calling out Facebook’s alleged failures.
Haugen also told the Journal that she openly questioned why Facebook didn’t hire more workers to tackle its issues with human exploitation on its platforms, among other things.
“Facebook acted like it was powerless to staff these teams,” she told the Journal.
Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told the Journal that it has “invested heavily in people and technology to keep our platform safe, and have made fighting misinformation and providing authoritative information a priority.”
Lawmakers have appeared unmoved by Facebook’s responses to the Journal’s reporting based on Haugen’s disclosures. During a hearing before the Senate Commerce subcommittee on consumer protection Thursday, senators on both sides of the aisle lambasted the company, urging it to make its temporary pause on building an Instagram platform for kids permanent. The lawmakers said they did not have faith Facebook could be a good steward of such a platform based on the reports and past behavior.
The whistleblower is scheduled to testify before the Senate Commerce subcommittee on consumer protection on Tuesday. Facebook’s Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis told lawmakers on Thursday that Facebook would not retaliate against the whistleblower for her disclosures to the Senate.
“Facebook’s actions make clear that we cannot trust it to police itself,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who chairs the subcommittee, said in a statement Sunday night. “We must consider stronger oversight, effective protections for children, and tools for parents, among the needed reforms.”
Haugen said she has “empathy” for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, saying he “has never set out to make a hateful platform. But he has allowed choices to be made where the side effects of those choices are that hateful, polarizing content gets more distribution and more reach.”
She called for more regulations over the company to keep it in check.
“Facebook has demonstrated they cannot act independently Facebook, over and over again, has shown it chooses profit over safety,” Haugen told “60 Minutes.” “It is subsidizing, it is paying for its profits with our safety. I’m hoping that this will have had a big enough impact on the world that they get the fortitude and the motivation to actually go put those regulations into place. That’s my hope.”

warc | 202143 | KPMG UK’s digital chief says that in her 25-twelve months profession she has never known a extra thrilling time to work in IT
By
Karl Flinders, Emea Voice material Editor, Computer Weekly
Printed: 05 Oct 2021 16: 00
Taking charge of digital transformation, embedding a digital-first corporate culture, riding profession paths for technologists and rising fluctuate are all half of Lisa Heneghan’s role as chief digital officer at KPMG UK.
All this after at the originate initiating up on a profession lag in the retail sector: “I notion the retail industry used to be the location for me, though I rapidly realised it wasn’t,” she says. “I don’t possess a stage and my background used to be a management coaching route at Harrods.”
The superb purpose she ended up in expertise used to be because her father had a industry selling peripherals to PC makers, Heneghan tells Computer Weekly.
After working with him, she then persevered in IT, shifting to tech companies honest like EMC, Solar and Oracle – one thing she did for roughly 15 years.
It used to be about 18 years prior to now, on the advice of just a few of her customers, that she moved into knowledgeable providers and products, joining Deloitte, the build she spent seven years prior to origin her time at KPMG.
This day, she heads up KPMG’s internal and customer-dealing with teams of technologists, supporting the internal digital approach and KPMG’s customers in their digital journeys.
She is on the government committee, with accountability across expertise and a client-dealing with crew of technologists made up of two,000 of us, with an mission-broad expertise crew that does internal expertise.
KPMG’s digital transformation
A large deal of her time is engaged in KPMG’s gain digital transformation, with “a big transformation agenda”.
“My tackle our internal transformation agenda has been at the originate checking out the foundations, making walk you possess the total stuff you’ll need underpin transformation from both a expertise and functionality level of analysis, which for us involves truly riding against the cloud.”
A part of her approach has been to present some autonomy to industry departments through inserting chief expertise officers (CTOs) in every division of the industry.
Nonetheless embedding digital drive in departments does no longer terminate there. These industry unit CTOs are supported by a crew of workers, known as “digital ninjas”. Heneghan says that is half of KPMG’s technique to tap into its demographic.
This has helped KPMG commerce its culture. “We possess about 900 digital ninjas in our organisation and these are these that take a seat in the thoroughly different industry departments, possess a ardour for expertise and the use of it, understand the industry they’re in, and can rapidly adapt to use the [digital] instruments we provide,” she says.
Discovering the most up-to-date IT expertise
Whereas digital ninjas frequently methodology expertise as an add-on to their fashioned role, KPMG is soundless desirous to earn the most up-to-date IT expertise in the marketplace.
Heneghan says technologists have to never truly feel they’ll be invisible engines at KPMG, however possess profession progression opportunities that weren’t on hand prior to now.
“One thing that has truly shifted for us is riding profession paths for technologists,” she says. “About 10 years prior to now – even 5 – I don’t trust knowledgeable providers and products companies had been sparkling at delivering knowledgeable profession paths for technologists. Nonetheless we attain this valuable better now and of us attain be half of us because they’re looking for to be technologists.”
Heneghan hopes opportunities will attract fluctuate as she realises, let’s inform, that no longer ample of the of us joining expertise departments are ladies folks. Changing that is one amongst her passions.
“Must you scrutinize support to the 1980s after I started my profession in expertise, there wasn’t a single female role model,” she says. “It is a truly thoroughly different panorama now, with many ladies folks in senior roles leading expertise at just some of the superb companies, however you soundless possess some intrinsic boundaries with regards to how ladies folks peek expertise.”
KPMG is investing in the ladies folks in IT of the future, with work in schools to “commerce the study of what somebody that works in expertise is treasure”, says Heneghan.
It has an initiative known as IT Her Future, which has been working for 5 years, which Heneghan says has transformed KPMG’s recruitment of ladies folks. Total, fine below 50% of the company’s technologists are ladies folks.
“We scrutinize at key parts of how we recruit, the correct technique to shield up ladies folks in IT and the correct technique to encourage them progress their profession, which is able to be slower for ladies folks in expertise,” she says.
It is no longer fine about females, however fluctuate, she says, because if we’re looking for to carry the superb solutions for customers, this has to return into play.
Heneghan’s message is that the IT sector is extra rewarding than ever. “I feel it is the most thrilling time in my 25-twelve months profession to be in expertise,” she says. “Gone are the times when the CIO or head of workmanship is hidden in a wretched room and handiest brought out when one thing goes scandalous. Now might perhaps presumably be a large time to be in expertise and I truly feel very lucky to possess the role I truly possess.”
Digital transformation high of the agenda
By methodology of customers, Heneghan says digital transformation is at the head of the agenda, they most frequently’re in a race.
“Every conversation that you just have got with a COO [chief operating officer] or CIO is about digital transformation of some build, and the methodology that it has truly modified is in the possess to state outcomes very rapidly for organisations,” she says.
“Gone are the times when companies inform they’re looking for to embark on an mission transformation programme that goes to closing three years and price several hundred million. In actual fact, what they’re desiring to attain is drive commerce very rapidly, so they’re looking for to us to carry pre-configured solutions, 80% of the reply, rather then building one thing uniquely and perfectly crafted for them.”
The provision of IT-based totally transformations has modified in step with put a query to of, with primitive outsourcing and contracts frequently unrecognisable, says Heneghan. “I would much less call it outsourcing, rather a dealer ecosystem the build the cloud is the norm and expertise is a utility,” she says.
Nonetheless that is presenting new challenges, with the complexity of that offer commerce rising. “I earn I’m talking to customers loads about how they’ll safely manage that atmosphere, severely as we’re in an world the build the threat of cyber assault is excessive,” says Heneghan.

warc | 202143 | Modern can mean different things, especially when embarking on new interior paint projects.
Choosing the best interior paint colors for modern homes can completly change its style. Some feel that white paint is modernity personified, but you can use them in every room, while others find deep hues dramatic. Yet, the truth is both types can liven up spaces depending on where you use them.
Modern interior paint colors you do not only reserve for modern architecture but capture the contemporary sensibility. More people are straying from the faithfully bright whites and bringing in neutral tones of white and gray in recent years.
Therefore, what are the forerunning color trends thriving in today’s paint projects? Let’s find out.
Benjamin Moore Flora
The popular internal paint color is the dark blue-green paint from Benjamin Moore (AF 470), rich in color without being too dark. According to Rebecca West, a designer from Seriously Happy Homes, the earthly tint gives an earthy texture without feeling too heavy for any living space.
You can pair it with dark wood tones or even medium one and work well with different interior styles from modern to traditional. However, one thing is sure you will never go wrong with this soft sage paint color.
So if you want to instantly add a relaxing, soothing feeling to any part of the home, give this interior paint color idea a try.
PPG Porter Paints Chalky Blue
The PPG Porter Chalky Blue Paint (PPG1153-5) works well as wall paint colors for modern paint. But, first, you see a gray, blue, velvety shade to use as a neutral color, says expert Kristen Chuber from Paintzen color.
Next, you will make an impact using it with a rich black or warm white trim. Furthermore, it works well in a monochromatic palette with shades of blue-gray on the lighter or darker side.
Finally, try this paint if you need a classic color for kitchen cabinets, bedrooms, kitchen, or living room. It will surely brighten up any home.
The Spruce Best Home Sundream

It gives a warm yet rich tone pairing well with hues from deep greens, pinks, pure white to metallic tones. A tip is to use it in small spaces like your entryways, powder rooms, and dens.
Farrow & Ball Card Room Green
Give a sense of balance that is calming and relaxing using Farrow & Ball Card Room Green (No. 79) inside your home. It even works well as an exterior paint color on doors paired with white walls to make a statement. According to Moll Anderson, an interior designer, the paint colors are therapeutic, as the dark green harmonizes well with other shades of white, gray, mustard, and pebble.
Sherwin-Williams Alabaster
For a perfect paint color for the living room, the Sherwin Williams Alabaster (SW7008) comes highly recommended by designer Claudia Leah. The white texture gives warmth to any home with a north-facing view.
No matter what room you want to give a new paint, this creamy white works with anything. With its versatile use, you can match it with any furniture style or design. One thing is sure if your interior furnishings change, there is no need to redo the walls with this paint.
Sherwin-Williams Poised Taupe

warc | 202143 | (Reuters) – The World Health Organization (WHO) is aiming to eliminate the most deadly form of meningitis by 2030 through increased awareness and access to treatments, global plans launched by the UN-agency on Tuesday to combat the inflammatory disease showed.
Meningitis is a dangerous inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While it is typically caused by bacterial and viral infections, bacterial meningitis kills more people than any other form of the disease.
The “Global Roadmap to Defeat Meningitis by 2030” was launched by a coalition of partners at a virtual event in Geneva to focus on preventing infections and improving care and diagnosis for those who contract meningitis.
“Wherever it occurs, meningitis can be deadly and debilitating; it strikes quickly, has serious health, economic and social consequences, and causes devastating outbreaks,” said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The disease is most common in more than 20 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
If left untreated, bacterial meningitis can cause fast-spreading epidemics, killing one out of 10 infected people, while one in five people are left with chronic conditions including seizures, hearing and vision loss, and neurological damage.
The WHO-led program also aims to reduce deaths due to bacterial meningitis by 70% and halve the number of cases overall.

warc | 202143 | But if he had one piece of advice for other would-be entrepreneurs, it would be this: don’t go it alone.
“I don’t know whether I am qualified enough to give advice, per se. But I would always say that you should try to find a core team of people,” Tan told CNBC Make It.
For 36-year-old Tan, it was critical to his business.
When he was first inspired to build an algorithm to help car buyers and sellers compare the best deals across Southeast Asia, he quickly enlisted his friends from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science to join him on the journey.
Tan is Singaporean, and his co-founders Aditya Lesmana and Kelvin Chng are Indonesian and Thai respectively. That meant that together, they had a much better understanding of the markets they were targeting and the problems they were solving — more so than Tan would have ever had on his own.
“One thing that I always give thanks to is that my team tends to be very international from day zero. This makes it a lot easier for us when we enter a market,” said Tan.
It’s advice that harks back to Tan’s early days as a venture capitalist (VC) investing in companies across the U.S. and Southeast Asia.
A strong founding team is important for a start-up, he said.
“As a former VC, I saw companies, and we didn’t invest, mainly because there was one strong individual and there were no co-founders,” said Tan.
“For me, what is very important is to support each other, and for that matter, complement each other,” he added.
According to Tan, a founder’s ability to build a founding team is a good sign they are self-aware and understand their strengths and weaknesses. But it also demonstrates their ability to convince others of their vision.
“You will know whether or not you are able to start a company after some time because you are able to find more people that believe in the journey,” said Tan.
“You first of all need to find that group of friends that is willing to take the leap of faith with you before you are able to find the next 100, the next 1,000 people to grow your company,” he said.

warc | 202143 | Resective epilepsy surgery
Resective epilepsy surgery based on an invasive EEG-monitors performed with subdural grids (SDG) or depth electrodes (stereoelectroencephalography, SEEG) is considered to be the best option towards achieving seizure-free state in drug resistant epilepsy.
Despite good outcomes from high-quality clinical trials, referrals of patients with seizures refractory to medical treatment remain infrequent
1).
Three RCTs (two adult RCTs and one pediatric RCT) consistently supported the efficacy of resective surgery as treatment for epilepsy with semiology localized to the mesial temporal lobe. In these studies, 58-100% of the patients who underwent resective surgery achieved seizure freedom, in comparison to 0-13% of medically treated patients. In another RCT, the likelihood of seizure freedom after resective surgery was independent of the surgical approach (transSylvian [64%] versus subtemporal [62%]). Two other RCTs demonstrated that hippocampal resection is essential to optimize seizure control. But, no significant gain in seizure control was achieved beyond removing 2.5 cm of the hippocampus. Across RCTs, minor complications (deficit lasting < 3 months) and major complications (deficit > 3 months) ranged 2-5% and 5-11% respectively. However, nonincapacitating superior subquadrantic visual-field defects (not typically considered a minor or major complication) were noted in up to 55% of the surgical cohort. The available RCTs provide compelling support for resective surgery as a treatment for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and offer insights toward optimal surgical strategy
2)
Complete removal of the epileptogenic zone significantly increases the chances for postoperative seizure-freedom. In complex surgical candidates, delineation of the epileptogenic zone requires a long-term invasive video/EEG from intracranial electrodes. It is especially challenging to achieve a complete resection in deep brain structures such as opercular insular cortex
3). Case series
Belohlavkova et al. retrospectively reviewed data of pediatric patients operated in Motol Epilepsy Center between October 2010 and June 2020 who underwent resections guided by intraoperative visual detection of depth electrodes following SEEG. The outcome in terms of seizure- and AED-freedom was assessed individually in each patient.
Nineteen patients (age at surgery 2.9-18.6 years, median 13 years) were included in the study. The epileptogenic zone involved opercular insular cortex in eighteen patients. The intraoperative detection of the electrodes was successful in seventeen patients and the surgery was regarded complete in sixteen. Thirteen patients were seizure-free at final follow-up including six drug-free cases. The successful intraoperative detection of the electrodes was associated with favorable outcome in terms of achieving complete resection and seizure-freedom in most cases. On the contrary, the patients in whom the procedure failed had poor postsurgical outcome.
The reported technique helps to achieve the complete resection in challenging patients with the epileptogenic zone in deep brain structures
4)
81 patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who had undergone resective epilepsy surgery at Sanbo Brain Hospital, between April 2004 and June 2019. They estimated the cumulative probability of remaining seizure-free and plotted survival curves. Variables were compared using Mann-Whitney U, Pearson's correlation, continuity correction, and Fisher's exact chi-square tests. Prognostic predictors were analyzed using log-rank (Mantel-Cox) tests and Cox regression models.
At the last follow-up, 48 (59.3%) patients were classified as International League Against Epilepsy Class 1 (including 14 patients who had seizures <3 times postoperatively on the same or different day and were seizure-free at all other times). The estimated cumulative probability of remaining seizure-free postoperatively was 69.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 58.8-79.2%), 61.9% (95% CI 51.1-72.7%), and 55.0% (95% CI 42.8-67.2%) at 2, 5, and 10 years, respectively. The mean time of remaining seizure-free was 7.24 ± 0.634 years (95% CI 6.00-8.49); en bloc resection was an essential positive predictor of postoperative seizure freedom, as was age at seizure onset, regional interictal video-electroencephalography pattern, and temporal lobe surgery. The longer the seizure-free time, the less likely a relapse. Patients who postoperatively experienced seizures remained likely to recover.

Raising the Intercultural Awareness of Engineering and Business Students in an Austrian Bachelor and Master of Science Programme in Aviation
Abstract
This paper presents four topics and related activities for developing the intercultural awareness of engineering and business students which originated during my English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes in the Bachelor and Master of Science Programme in Aviation at the FH JOANNEUM, University of Applied Sciences, Graz, Austria. Even though they were initially created for non-native speakers of English, they may be equally employed with native-speaking students in subject-specific tertiary education and experienced professionals preparing for a work assignment abroad. Raising the cross-cultural awareness of students means introducing and sensitizing them to such issues through which intercultural differences and similarities may be perceived, discussed and acknowledged. The four topics selected are work, national stereotypes, food and gender because these ideally fit in with our purpose and are likely to arise in cross-cultural conversations. The first activity should make learners think about habits they could adopt as permanent residents in a foreign city on their daily ways to and from work. The second activity aims at revealing and breaking national stereotypes as a danger to intercultural communication. The third activity simulates dialogues in a restaurant, during which some problem related to food and a person’s religious confession or personal conviction must be solved. Finally, the fourth activity encourages the discussion of gender-specific issues of male and female equality, of the advancement of women in global societies and businesses as well as of potential threats to women’s rights. All of these activities pursue the goals of questioning learner’s own cross-cultural attitudes and deepening their understanding of foreign cultures. Some of the topics introduced may cause heated debates among learners, which is why they need to be carefully moderated by an experienced instructor. In any case, thought-provoking subjects and tasks facilitate eager participation by learners and provide for a fruitful debriefing and reflection phase with the teacher, which follows on each of the four activities. The tasks presented may serve as contributions to a cross-cultural training course to be designed by instructors who teach engineering and business students or practising professionals alike.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at >250 loci in the human genome to type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. For each locus, identifying the functional variant(s) among multiple SNPs in high linkage disequilibrium is critical to understand molecular mechanisms underlying T2D genetic risk. Using massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA), we test the cis-regulatory effects of SNPs associated with T2D and altered in vivo islet chromatin accessibility in MIN6 ß cells under steady state and pathophysiologic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress conditions. We identify 1,982/6,621 (29.9%) SNP-containing elements that activate transcription in MIN6 and 879 SNP alleles that modulate MPRA activity. Multiple T2D-associated SNPs alter the activity of short interspersed nuclear element (SINE)-containing elements that are strongly induced by ER stress. We identify 220 functional variants at 104 T2D association signals, narrowing 54 signals to a single candidate SNP. Together, this study identifies elements driving ß cell steady state and ER stress-responsive transcriptional activation, nominates causal T2D SNPs, and uncovers potential roles for repetitive elements in ß cell transcriptional stress response and T2D genetics.

Effective interpretation of genome function and genetic variation requires a shift from epigenetic mapping of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) to characterization of endogenous function. We developed hybridization chain reaction fluorescence in situ hybridization coupled with flow cytometry (HCR-FlowFISH), a broadly applicable approach to characterize CRISPR-perturbed CREs via accurate quantification of native transcripts, alongside CRISPR activity screen analysis (CASA), a hierarchical Bayesian model to quantify CRE activity. Across >325,000 perturbations, we provide evidence that CREs can regulate multiple genes, skip over the nearest gene and display activating and/or silencing effects. At the cholesterol-level-associated FADS locus, we combine endogenous screens with reporter assays to exhaustively characterize multiple genome-wide association signals, functionally nominate causal variants and, importantly, identify their target genes.

RESUMO
Innovative strategies are needed to combat drug resistance associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Here, we investigate the potential of wall teichoic acid (WTA) biosynthesis inhibitors as combination agents to restore ß-lactam efficacy against MRSA. Performing a whole-cell pathway-based screen, we identified a series of WTA inhibitors (WTAIs) targeting the WTA transporter protein, TarG. Whole-genome sequencing of WTAI-resistant isolates across two methicillin-resistant Staphylococci spp. revealed TarG as their common target, as well as a broad assortment of drug-resistant bypass mutants mapping to earlier steps of WTA biosynthesis. Extensive in vitro microbiological analysis and animal infection studies provide strong genetic and pharmacological evidence of the potential effectiveness of WTAIs as anti-MRSA ß-lactam combination agents. This work also highlights the emerging role of whole-genome sequencing in antibiotic mode-of-action and resistance studies. | 4,718 | 2,274 | 2.074758 |

Mortgage lenders tend to require extensive documentation. It isn't uncommon for mortgage application files to balloon to more than 100 pages in length by the time all of the requested documentation has been received.
With that in mind, here's a quick guide to the types of documentation you might need to produce when you're applying for a home loan. Note that this is not an exhaustive list, and not every item will apply to every borrower.
Before you start shopping for a new home, it's a smart idea to get a mortgage pre-approval. Getting pre-approved lets you know what size mortgage you can obtain. It also lets sellers know you're a serious buyer.
A pre-approval involves going through the parts of the mortgage approval process that look into your personal qualifications. For example, the lender will verify your employment and income.
Lenders want to know what size mortgage you can afford. To calculate this, they look at something called your debt-to-income ratio (DTI ratio). Your DTI ratio simply compares your current debt with your current income.
For this, your lender will need to see documentation of your income.
For starters, most mortgage lenders want to see your last two years' tax returns. If you haven't yet filed a tax return for the most recent calendar year, your lender might request that you do so before applying. And if you live in a state with an income tax, the lender will likely want to see both your federal and state returns.
If you are an
employee, your lender will want to see your two most recent W-2 forms.
If you are
self-employed, the lender will need your two most recent 1099s and may also request additional income documentation.
Note: General mortgage documentation requirements are more extensive for self-employed applicants. Get more details in our step-by-step guide to getting a mortgage while self-employed.
Employees should be prepared to submit (at a minimum) their two most recent payroll stubs. This can be an especially important piece of documentation if your income has changed significantly since submitting your most recent tax return.
If you have income from other sources that you would like to have considered by the lender, such as rental income or Social Security income, be prepared to show documents (in addition to your tax return) that verify them.
Lenders also want to know about your current assets: their value, where they're located, where they came from, etc. Here are some of the documents you may be asked to provide.
Lenders will typically request two months' worth of statements for any checking or savings accounts you have. Be prepared to write brief explanation letters for any unusual deposits, bounced checks, or anything other than standard transactions.
When I applied for my first mortgage, I was renting a condo with a roommate. My roommate gave me cash to cover his share of the rent each month. My lender requested that I (and my roommate) sign a statement confirming the source of these recurring $700 cash deposits.
Just like with your bank accounts, you'll need to produce two months' worth of statements for every investment or brokerage account you have, including retirement accounts. If you only receive quarterly statements for certain accounts, your most recent statement should be sufficient.
Lenders have very specific rules about where the funds for your down payment and closing costs can come from. Most lenders allow for down payment gifts but don't allow you to borrow the money from a relative or friend.
So, if you're receiving some of your down payment from another individual, they'll need to sign a letter confirming the funds are indeed a gift with no expectation of repayment.
If you have other assets that could help you qualify for the mortgage or that you plan to use toward the down payment, be prepared to document them and their current market value.
For example, if you own a rental property, submitting proof of ownership and a recent appraisal could be sufficient.
Understandably, your lender wants proof you'll follow through with on-time monthly mortgage payments. To verify this, they might ask about your current mortgage (or ask for your landlord's information, if you're a renter).
If you own a home and currently have a mortgage balance, you'll likely need to submit your most recent statement showing how much you still owe on the home. This is especially true if you'd like the ability to close on your new home
before you sell the old one.
If you're currently a renter, you'll need to provide contact information for your landlord, as well as documentation (such as canceled checks) showing that you've paid rent.
Finally, your lender will need to verify your identity and run a credit check. The credit check will play a part in determining your mortgage interest rate, among other things. There are a couple of types of documentation you may need to bring to your lender for this step.
In order to run a credit check, the lender will need your Social Security number. Every lender I've dealt with has requested a copy of my actual Social Security card.
Expect your lender to request a copy of your driver's license or other photo ID (such as a U.S. passport) as part of the application process.
As a final thought, it's important to mention that just because your lender doesn't request a certain document initially doesn't mean that they won't need it at some other point throughout the process.
For example, if your lender goes through your bank statements and sees an unexplained cash deposit, you may need to submit a letter explaining the details. And there are some documents that you're likely to need when your closing date approaches, such as documentation of an insurance policy on the property.
The bottom line is that there is a
lot of documentation your mortgage lender might request, both before your application and while you're waiting to close. By preparing your documentation ahead of time, you can help ensure that the process will go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
