Affinity Dental Care – Oral Health
I have previously discussed nutrients and vitamins for oral health that can affect your wellness in several blogs. This time I would like to focus on oral and dental health. We all know that healthy eating will provide different nutrients for your wellness. A healthy balanced diet should contain a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free dairy, and protein.
Vitamins A, B, C, D and minerals have significant oral health implications. Other nutrient intakes can also impact our oral and dental health. Let us look at them individually to see their impact on our oral health.
Vitamins for Oral Health:
Vitamins B, C, D, K & A
There are eight types of Vitamin B. Among them, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine), and B12 (Cyanocobalamin) are essential for our oral health. Deficiencies are most common in older adults, alcohol users, people with restricted diets, gastrointestinal issues or recent surgeries. Vitamin B complex deficiencies like Vitamin B2, 3, 6, and 12 can lead to recurrent aphthous stomatitis (canker sore), enamel hypo-mineralization, angular cheilitis (cracked mouth corners), halitosis (bad breath), gingivitis, glossitis (tongue inflammation), atrophy of the papillae, stomatitis (mouth ulcer), rashes around the nose, dysphagia (difficult swallowing), and pallor.
is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin and is not stored in our bodies. It must be taken daily through food or supplements.
It controls infections and healing wounds and is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralize harmful free radicals. It is needed to make collagen, a fibrous protein in connective tissue vital for our various body systems in nerve, immune, bone, cartilage, ligament, blood, gums, and skin. A vitamin C deficiency can result in scurvy, resulting in bleeding gums and loose teeth.
A clinical trial conducted by Shimabukuro and colleagues on patients with gingivitis found that using Vitamin C could reduce spontaneous bleeding and redness of the gum. Patients having chronic gingivitis, chronic periodontitis, and type 2 diabetes can benefit from Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant capable of inhibiting the initiation of carcinogenesis, including oral cancers, and can help neutralize the transformation of cells. In addition, a high intake of vitamin C from natural sources (i.e., fruits and vegetables) was associated with a significantly lower risk of head and neck cancer. Thus, vitamin C is currently recommended as a therapeutic measure to minimize the initiation and progression of oral cancer.
stimulates calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestines and kidneys. It supports the functions of calcium and phosphorus in remineralizing and strengthening teeth. In children between the ages of six and eleven, several studies in Canada and Sweden have concluded that there is a significant inverse relationship between vitamin D levels in the body and caries development.
The results are probably due to incomplete calcification of teeth and alveolar bone. The incomplete calcification of enamel is called enamel hypoplasia. It is characterized by deficient, pitted, and rough enamel surfaces. These deformities increase the chances of bacteria colonization on teeth and difficulties cleaning the teeth. Deficiency in it will cause a low calcium level in the blood; the bones mobilize calcium to level out the blood calcium, leading to an increased risk for osteoporosis and arthritis (in adults) or rickets (in kids).
Vitamin D also plays a role in activating antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as Cathelicidins and Defensins. The increase in those AMPs in the oral epithelial cells, salivary ducts, and saliva lyse (break down) the oral bacteria significantly, reducing caries. Adequate Vitamin D in serum increases calcium content in the saliva. A deficiency of vitamin D can decrease the salivary flow by 65%. Therefore, vitamin D regulates salivary flow rate and quality.
The body needs vitamin K to produce prothrombin, a protein and clotting factor important in blood clotting and bone metabolism.
Deficiency is rare, but, in severe cases, it can increase bleeding and predispose a person to oral candidiasis.
Apart from its role in healthy vision, it is a critical component required to maintain the mucosal membranes, salivary glands, and teeth.
Saliva helps break down food and also cleans bacteria from in between your teeth. Deficiency will result in xerostomia (dry mouth), taste sensitivity, tooth brittleness, salivary gland degeneration, and caries risk. A lower intake of vitamin A has been associated with decreased oral epithelial development, impaired tooth formation, enamel hypoplasia and periodontitis
Vitamins for Oral Health:
Calcium, Protein, Folic Acid, Zinc, Magnesium & Potassium
is the main components in the mineralization of the protein matrix of bone and teeth. The hardened substance made up of the two minerals is called hydroxyapatite. It gives bones and teeth their compressive strength. Inadequate absorption during pregnancy may result in bone deformities, incomplete tooth calcification, tooth malformation, and increased susceptibility to caries after tooth eruption.
In adolescence, inadequate intake of calcium will lead to osteopenia or osteoporosis.
is needed to construct all body tissues and is a fundamental building block for any living organism. Protein deficiency results in the poor structural integrity of the dentition and the supporting periodontal tissues. Delayed wound healing and poor resistance to oral pathogens.
is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, also known as pteroylmonoglutamic acid. Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9. It is essential for DNA synthesis. Deficiency in folate during pregnancy can lead to cleft lip or palate. Lack of it can lead to angular cheilitis, stomatitis, sore or burning mouth, inflamed gingiva, and glossitis.
is often found in oral rinses and toothpaste because it helps with common gum diseases, including gingivitis and other common periodontal problems.
Low zinc levels can increase the chance of developing infections and degenerative pathologies. Zinc also plays a vital role in the psychosocial functioning of human behaviour. In the oral cavity, zinc is found in saliva, dental plaque, and enamel. It contributes to healthy teeth formation and the reduction of halitosis in the mouth
Clinical trials have demonstrated that zinc ions decrease the rate of enamel demineralization.
Magnesium and calcium complement each other to build hard tooth enamel and maintain bone density. Ideally, you should receive a two-to-one ratio of calcium to magnesium daily. Good dietary sources of magnesium include dark green vegetables, legumes, nuts, corn, brown rice, buckwheat, rye, and other whole grains. Too much magnesium all at once can cause digestive side effects such as diarrhea, so you may need to spread your intake out over the day.
A diet rich in Potassium can help your teeth and bones use calcium more efficiently because Potassium is a companion to magnesium in the body’s efforts to regulate blood acidity. When your blood becomes too acidic, the acids can remove calcium from your teeth and jawbone, weakening them.
You can get Potassium from many foods. Bananas, prunes, avocados, potatoes (including sweet potatoes), tomatoes, and Swiss chard are all rich in Potassium.
Potassium nitrate is also found in some toothpaste to help to reduce tooth sensitivity.

This past Monday, a blogger friend of mine from Belfast decided to offer his thoughts on this year’s Academy Awards. He began with a simple statement: he had not seen this year’s winner for Best Picture, Parasite. He went on to say that none of his friends had seen it, either. So, he was asking for input from his acquaintances in the blogging world. Had any of us watched this movie or was this another case of Hollywood opting to honour an artsy movie that no one, outside of their own circle, really cared about? He concluded his remarks by stating that he had just seen 1917 and thought it was pretty good.
Like my friend, I had not seen Parasite nor, had anyone that I was aware of. I had seen 1917 so I wanted to comment on the post but, before I did, I felt compelled to research Parasite a little first so that I could speak with a modicum of knowledge in my comment. So, I went to Twitter and typed in #Parasite. Scores of tweets poured forth. The bulk of the initial comments were reactions to some of the racially-insensitive comments being made by those offended by the fact that a foreign film had won Best Picture and that the director, Bong Joon Ho, made his acceptance speech in a combination of broken english and his own, native Korean. Normally, I follow the rule of thumb that advises us all to not go down the rabbit hole when it comes to most on-line comment threads. But, because I was thirsting for facts about this movie, I ignored my own advice and plunged in. For once, I was glad that I did.
About one third of the way into the comment thread, someone decided to take the conversation in a different direction. They tweeted their hope that now that Bong Joon Ho had been brought into the public eye in North America that, perhaps, some of his earlier films would gain renewed interest and recognition. In particular, this person recommended Bong Joon Ho’s very first big budget movie, Snowpiercer. As soon as Snowpiercer was mentioned, the thread took off in a whole different, excitable direction, with dozens of fans chiming in to say what an amazing movie Snowpiercer was. But what really caught my attention…..and what went on to inspire this post…..was a tweet by someone who claimed that Snowpiercer was actually a dystopian sequel to the beloved childhood classic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! What!? A violent, futuristic tale of class warfare is the sequel to the tale of the world’s finest chocolate maker? This I had to see for myself!
First of all, let’s review the basic premise of the Roald Dahl classic first. In Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a mysterious genius has created a perfect world in the artificial setting of a chocolate factory. There is no end to the innovation and imagination on display by Mr. Wonka. Into this world of wonder comes a group of children and adults. Within this group, their are different personality types, reflective of various segments of society at the time. As this group attempts to co-exist with Wonka’s factory, the true characteristics of each child come to the fore and, as they explore one magical room after another, they find themselves facing a reckoning that slowly but, surely, whittles the group down to one. That one child, Charlie Bucket, is declared the “winner” by Mr. Wonka who reveals that, in fact, he is tired of running the factory and is seeking someone to take over the reins and that, in fact, that person is Charlie Bucket. I have read the Roald Dahl book to many students over the years and we have watched the original movie, staring Gene Wilder as Wonka, many times as well. It is a classic tale told very well and is deserving of every accolade it has received over the years.
Snowpiercer is set in the not-too-distant future. In an effort to alleviate the effects of Climate Change, scientists have released a refrigerant into the atmosphere to cool rising global temperatures. However, the effect of this is that Earth freezes and all life goes extinct, except for those lucky enough to find refuge on this train that endlessly circles the Earth. The train is a modern-day version of Noah’s Ark and has been created with enough resources to maintain a complete, bio-diverse eco-system designed to allow those on-board the chance to survive while awaiting the possible return to the outside world should temperature warm enough to allow for regeneration. Like Wonka’s chocolate factory, this train was created by a mythical genius known as Willard, played by Ed Harris. Those who subscribe to the theory that Snowpiercer is, in fact, the sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory say that Willard is really Charlie Bucket. If you can allow yourself to believe this single fact then, the structure of the remainder of the movie falls neatly into place, despite the fact that Snowpiercer is told more as mash-up between Blade Runner and The Hunger Games.
In Snowpiercer, the Ark-like train is divided up into a series of connected cars; each car containing something different and important when it comes to maintaining the integrity of the eco-system on board. The premise that drives the action forward is that the train has been divided along class lines, too, with the rich at the head of the train and the very poor at the tail of the train. The poor live in squalor and are oppressed at every turn. Eventually, they revolt. The leader of the insurgency is Chris Evans, who played Captain America in the Marvel movies. Like Willy Wonka, the rebels (who are a rag-tag collection of characters) move through the cars on the train, one at a time, like the children moved through Wonka’s magical rooms. At each car, there is action, often violent action, that causes the group to reduce in numbers over time. Eventually, without giving away too many secrets, there is a “winner” in this movie who is asked to take over the running of things on this magical train. As in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the ending of Snowpiercer hints at the possibility of an entirely different way of living; a world devoid of class stratification, wanton violence and discrimination and poverty, too.
One of the sub-texts to the story of Snowpiercer is why this movie is only becoming known now, eight years after it was released. The story of that is one of abusive power. Snowpiercer was Bong Joon Ho’s first big budget movie. In order to arrange financing, Joon Ho entered into a partnership with producer Harvey Weinstein. As the recent history of the #MeToo movement has documented, Weinstein was not the nicest human on the planet, putting it mildly. He wielded the power of his position like a ruthless dictator. For many actresses, it meant sexual abuse. For Bong Joon Ho, it meant a battle for control of his artistic vision for the movie against a man, Weinstein, who was known for expecting the final say on all edits. Because Bong Joon Ho fought back throughout the making of the movie, Weinstein used his clout to severely limit the release of Snowpiercer, to the point where it almost disappeared completely from view.
One of the big “lessons” from this movie is resistance to oppression. In the photo above, Tilda Swinton is a representative from Willard who has been sent to the back of the train to quiet some murmurs of dissent. At the end of her not-well-received speech, one of the poor folk throws his shoe at her and manages a glancing blow. The scene pivots at that point. The man is taken into immediate custody and Swinton, holding his shoe, launches into a speech about how she is a hat and he is a shoe and how hats belong where hats go…on a head….and shoes belong where shoes go….on feet. To mix the roles of hats and shoes is absurd and upsets the carefully-crafted balance of society. In other words, know your place and stay in it! The punishment the man receives is to have the arm he used to throw the shoe placed through a hole in the side of the train so that it is exposed to the freezing outside air. Those in charge do careful calculations as to how long it will take for his arm to freeze solid based upon current weather conditions, the speed of the train, etc. and Swinton speaks for that length of time, accordingly. At the end of her speech, the man’s arm is pulled back in, revealed to be frozen solid like a statue and then, it is chopped off in front of the rest of the poor passengers as a warning to remain obedient. Throughout the rest of the movie, the presence or absence of limbs becomes an underlying layer of added meaning and significance.
Despite the graphic violence (which is on a par with what was shown during the Hunger Games), I thought this movie was amazing! It is very much like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in how imaginative it is, at times, and how mesmerizing some of the scenes are. Social commentary flows through both movies; sometimes, it is blatant and said aloud, sometimes, it is woven into the consequences of the action in a particular scene and remains unspoken. But, through it all, both movies speak to the value and goodness inherent in ordinary humans. Resistance to oppression is healthy and valuable and difficult and dangerous. But, most of all, it is important when forces within a society get too far out of whack. It happened to President Snow in The Hunger Games. It happened to Adolf Hitler in real life. It happened to the likes of Veruca Salt in the Wonka movie. It happened to the inhabitants of Earth prior to the Great Flood in The Bible. It happens in Snowpiercer, too.
Resistance is not futile.
Snowpiercer is playing right now, for free, on Netflix in Canada. I would highly recommend this movie. It is terrific and leaves you with much to think about. But, if I could offer any advice at all prior to watching it would be this; don’t go into this movie expecting The Hunger Games or a Marvel action-type movie. There are enough plot holes in Snowpiercer to drive a truck through. But, if you allow yourself to view this movie through the absurdist lens of Mr. Wonka then, Snowpiercer will blow your mind. The trailer for the movie can be viewed here.
Sometimes it actually pays to read the on-line comments. Without the guidance of others, I would never have even known that such a movie as Snowpiercer existed. Bong Joon Ho is a talented director and is deserving of the praise he is earning for Parasite. Perhaps it is time to give that movie a chance, too. I am betting I won’t be disappointed. | <urn:uuid:e906f8f5-b31e-42a5-a0b1-2b786e94df78> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 10,431 |
“To You O Lord, my soul in stillness waits; Truly my hope is in You.”
We sang these words in church this morning. The melody is haunting and the verses plea with God to send us goodness and hope that someday we will see Him face to face. In our preparations for the Christmas holidays, we know there will be moments of stress and anxiety. Can we provide all the gifts our children ask for? Another question is SHOULD we provide all the gifts our children ask for? Are we traveling to spend time with family, or just take a well-deserved vacation? Where do we get the time to decorate both the inside and outside of the house adequately? Are we competing with our neighbors in this activity? If we work a 40-hour week, how do we manipulate our time to do all that needs to be done? And on and on and on. We know from past years that we will rush to accomplish all that needs to be done. We will probably spend more money than we should on gifts. Oh, yes. We will plan to go to church, either on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning to celebrate the anniversary of the Birth of Jesus Christ.
All the above notions help in this celebration if we keep in mind the meaning of what Christmas should be in our lives. So the Church provides us with the month of December to help us prepare, not just for the gifts, meals, reunions, decorations, and all the visible things of the holiday, but to remember that over 2,000 years ago, a young woman said, “Yes” to the most profound question asked of anyone–Will you be the Mother of the Savior, the God-Man who will come from Heaven through the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit?
Every year we are reminded of that moment in Mary’s life.
Someone once asked why we prepare for the Savior’s birth when He already came? I think the answer is we prepare for the celebration and remembrance of His birth. Extending that, we should be preparing for the time when He comes again. As Christians, we are taught there will be a second coming at the end of time and our destiny will be sealed. We should spend our lifetime on earth preparing for that moment in the way we live our lives. Jesus left us a legacy to show us the way to Him and to the Father through the Sacraments, Prayer, and readings found in Sacred Scripture.
My resolution this Advent will be to strengthen my knowledge through spiritual reading and more conscientious effort in praying. How will you raise the bar on your spiritual life these next few weeks?

The KDE Community has announced the latest release of KDE 4.x to hit the streets, KDE 4.1 Plagued with a Vista-esque, lukewarm response, as was 4.0, the code is finally emerging, as planned, from it’s previous near alpha condition to the full featured KDE that we all know and love. I’m not saying that the 3.5.x purists are going to rush out tomorrow and upgrade their systems, but KDE 4.1 does go aways at greasing some of the more squeaky wheels in the series.
I’m a big PIM guy. I like to have multiple email accounts and profiles in one place. The KDE-PIM is actually a suite of standalone Personal Information Management tools all brought together under one roof. This release of KDE-PIM is an excellent showcase for the feature-rich experience that KDE 4.x promises. Here’s more:
KDE-PIM is back with 4.1, containing the applications
necessary for your personal information and communication. KMail as
mail client, KOrganizer as planning component, Akregator as RSS feed
reader and others are now available again in KDE 4 look.
- Dragon Player, an easy to use video player enters the stage
Okteta is the new well-integrated and feature-rich hexeditor
- Step, the physics emulator makes learning physics fun and easy
- KSystemLog, helps you keep track of what is going on in your system
New games such as KDiamond (a bejeweled clone), Kollision, KBreakOut
and Kubrick make taking a break from your work irresistible
Lokalize, helps translators to make KDE4 available in your language
(if it’s not among the 50-odd languages KDE4 already supports)
- KSCD, your desktop CD player has been resurrected
You can also view the Offical Release here.
I have a Dual Head set up for my main workstation. I like to have my programs open in the same place on all of that real-estate, and if I move a window, I like that to be remembered too. By right-clicking on most every title bar and selecting Advanced > Special Window Settings, I am presented with 5 tabs of settings – the Geometry tab is the one selected for this screenshot. I can apply this control to windows that meet a specific criteria, be it one window or many.
In addition to remembering the position of my window, I can pre-select a specific size, whether or not one, or both axes are maximized, and more. I can even tell it to remember what desktop it was opened on, which comes in handy for programs that are typically used for work only – then I can have them open on the “pay†desktop since I use KTimeTracker to keep track of project timing and auto desktop tracking.
This granular control also works with gtk (Gnome) programs too; in fact, this shot is from an Evolution window.
I installed some fonts the other day so I could have some unique options over the standard Windows fonts that most people have. I now have over 800 fonts, from the practical to the whimsical, at my disposable. I did limit my installation to Free Only fonts, so there are even more selections to those of you you care to install non-free fonts. Just search for fonts or ttf in your favorite package manager. Pictured is the KDE Font Installer manages this number of fonts with no problem. Another favorite font manager, if not just for it’s name, is Fonty Python – Bring out your fonts!
We’ll feature a new font with a waterfall pdf every Friday with links to download and more!
Everyone knows that the obvious difference between proprietary software and free software is the licensing model. What few people know is that free software’s biggest strength is the people that are drawn together to make up a community that is incredibly powerful. I saw this power first-hand in Mountain View, CA, USA at the KDE 4.0 release event. If you use Gnome, XFCE, or even Microsoft Windows, put your bias aside. This is about the community of free software, and to a lesser extent, some of the individuals that make free software what it is – not just KDE.
From across the globe they came; these developers and artists and marketing folks (how else do you get the word out about your product), end-users, and enthusiasts alike. Educators and academics, business executives, students, consultants, scientists, system administrators and more were there as well- for they are one-in-the-same, and all come with an equal voice. Many, having worked together for years, met for the first time face to face, often introducing themselves by IRC nick to one another. Never have I been in a room with such intellectual power all woven together by real humility and a common cause- a truly incredible group.

Subtlety ain’t the draw at this high-octane sports bar, where 40 television screens flicker every sport imaginable. The 40 beers on tap include Sixpoint Sweet Action and Magic Hat Circus Boy, and there's a vast soul-food menu to soak 'em up.

A common enemy in Nazi Germany temporarily united the United States and the Soviet Union, but the relationship started out strained and ended strained. Prior to the war, many in the United States looked askance at the communist colossus taking shape in Russia and throughout the Russian Empire. The Stalinist purges and mass atrocities of Stalin's collectivization campaign, especially in the Ukraine, thoroughly validated those concerns in the West, but the scale of the threat from Hitler's Germany was sufficient to force the two countries to put aside their differences, if only temporarily, in the interest of defeating the Axis powers. While the Soviet Union and the United States worked together to defeat Germany (and later Japan), there remained enormous mistrust between the two countries. The agreements negotiated at Yalta (February 1945) and Potsdam (July 1945) cemented the division of Europe that would form the border between East and West for the duration of the Cold War, but the territorial divisions agreed to at those historic conferences were a manifestation of the Cold War environment that already existed, not the cause of the Cold War. With the defeat of Germany and Japan, the United States and the Soviet Union returned to their prewar posture of mutual mistrust and hostility -- a situation dating to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
The events of WWII set up the Cold War by splitting up the world into communist and non-communist areas.
At the Yalta Conference, the Allies had agreed (more or less) about how to split up Europe. The Soviets would be given control of Eastern Europe (though they were supposed to allow elections). Western Europe would not be under Soviet control. Germany would be split between the four main allies.
Also at Yalta, the Soviets agreed to enter the war against Japan after Germany surrendered. They did this late in the war. This was significant because they were able to push far enough into Japanese-held Korea that the country was split in two after the war, with the northern part becoming communist.
These territorial splits were the main way in which the events of WWII helped lead to the Cold War.
WWII set the stage for the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union in several ways. One way was the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe. At Yalta, Roosevelt only talked about free elections for Poland, but he did not give a timetable for this, with the idea that getting Soviet help to fight the Japanese later in the summer was the main objective. Roosevelt died before he could negotiate with Stalin, so Eastern Europe would remain occupied for the next forty years with Soviet puppet regimes. Another piece of distrust was the manner with which America dropped the atomic bomb. When Roosevelt died, Soviet leadership probably knew more about the American nuclear program than Harry Truman did due to their spying. Stalin expected to be kept informed on the program, but Truman only alluded to it whenever he talked to Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov. America and the Soviet Union shared the occupation duties of Germany after the war, but the Soviet Union did not get a chance to occupy Japan, much to Stalin's anger.
What was more important than the diplomatic frostiness between America and the Soviet Union was the disparity of strength between the two powers. WWII bled the Soviet Union considerably more than any other nation. Stalin accused the Allies of being slow to open a second European front in the war in order to further weaken the Soviet Union. After the war America had the strongest navy, air force, and army in the world, and had an atomic bomb also. Stalin had to show strength in order not to be perceived as weak to his Politburo back home and to hopefully scare the West into not going to war with the Soviet Union.

Post #2: Daniel Kish
I found the story about Daniel Kish beginning of the book to be very engaging. It details how Kish was diagnosed with retinoblastoma in both eyes as an infant and had both eyes removed, but that never stopped him from gaining independence. Kish learned to use echolocation to navigate the world around him. Daniel's skills became so impressive that he is able to lead other blind individuals through mountain bike tours. His parents encouraged him from a young age to navigate and explore the world on his own. Kish attributes his navigation skills and expertise with echolocation to his parents' approach. Attached below is a video of Kish using echolocation while riding his bicycle.

I think that it is super impressive that someone was able to get that good at using echo location to find things. Enough so that they were able to go and use it to bike up trails or even play sports. it's something you don't really think about much. It kind of makes me think of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s32v0rTkey4 its something just as interesting to think about. Justin CReplyDelete
I also found Daniel Kish to be very interesting! His want to teach others echolocation to give them more freedom was very inspiring. His echolocation skills were fascinating to read about. I also did a post on echolocation where I posted a video of him doing echolocation if you want to see it!

Note: The following review is SPOILER FREE!
“Bound by Flame” is a demon influenced journey through Vertiel. Solid combat, character customization and armor/potion crafting does its job to outshine the awful dialogue and regularly misused obscenities found in this action role-playing experience.
“Bound by Flame” places you in the blood stained leather and crafted armor of Vulcan, a mercenary looking to help the Freeborn Blades (warriors for hire) and the Red Scribes (old beardy, book-readin’, spell-castin’ dudes) as they struggle to discover why so many undead soldiers and lethal creatures are roaming free and killing the citizens of Vertiel. Early in the game, Vulcan is the victim of a sorcery experiment gone bad and is joined by a demonic spirit of fire. The story progresses as the demon and Vulcan fight for control over the body they share as they quest to repair the Worldheart in search of power and the liberation of Vertiel.
While the story serves its purpose well enough, the main issue with “Bound by Flame” is the absolute horrible dialogue. Swearing just to swear works well in “Saints Row” or “Deadpool,” but the problem is that the obscenities flat out do not fit in the dialogue and seem to be shoehorned in there, causing for some unintentional comic relief. The dialogue switches from old school Shakespearean “thous,” “thines” and “doths,” to regular “f*cker,” “assh*le” and “goddamns.”
Another hiccup in the story is the lack of an effective choice system. The game suggests that your decisions will have an impact overall, but honestly, whatever decision you make is pointless given the fact that whatever you don’t choose finds a way to happen anyway. It is just one of those things where the developer needs to go full bore or not at all. The only decision that really felt like it made a difference in the outcome was the final choice, which in turn only decided what cutscene you watched.
The best working device in “Bound by Flame” is the combat system. You have two-handed swords and axes, daggers and a crossbow at your availability. There’s also the standard quick, heavy and melee attacks to accompany these items. The game implements a block and parry system, one with unforgiving timing that feels great once pulled off. The longer you play the game the more repetitive you will find the gameplay, but the mixture of weaponry and armor customization will motivate you to keep fighting while cultivating the ultimate warrior. With this goal, there are three skill trees in the game for you to spend XP on prior to leveling up. Pyromancer will aid in stamina or stronger powers, Ranger will help with your stealth ability and Warrior will make you stronger, providing more health and fighting perks. As with your skill tree, you can craft upgrades for your weapons and armor as you progress, giving them whatever buffer that best suits your fighting style.
The art team did a great job in attempting to visualize a different world for you to progress through. The scale of the monsters during the cutscenes are impressive, but the world overall is just so-so. Some things would look detailed in one area, but completely old school in others. The best thing “Bound by Flame” does is attach your upgraded weapons and items to Vulcan as you play. Adding tassels, hilts and other things will have a direct visual impact on your gameplay.
The backing music throughout works very well to set the tone of the game. The main problem with the voice acting is not the voice actors themselves, but the script they were given to read. The game does attempt to flesh out each character and make them each interesting, but the heavy handed use of Shakespearean aged dialogue, mixed in with modern day swear words just feels and sounds out of place. I found myself laughing more often than not at the awfully placed swear words, thinking every time how much stronger the conversation would have been without it. Those moments did more damage than anything else.
While repetitive, the combat system in “Bound by Flame” might be enough to keep you engaged through Vulcan’s demonic inner struggle as you fight to free Vertiel. If you can get past the godawful use of obscenities in the writing, you will have a somewhat decent game to keep you busy for a good 25-30 hours. For a game that currently retails for around $40, it’s not something you should jump at, and waiting for the price to drop further won’t hurt you either.
Will you be getting a copy of “Bound by Flame?” Are you just going to wait for “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” for a better experience? Thou shalt leave a f**king comment below.

Trouton’s Rule in terms of Enthalpy of Vaporization
An empirical rule involving heats of vaporization at the normal boiling point was put forward by F. Trouton. Trouton’s rule states that the heat of vaporization in Joule mol-1 divided by the normal boiling point in Kelvin is approximately 88 for most liquids, i.e.,
∆Hvap/T ≈ 88 J deg-1 mol-1
The entropy of vaporization is defined as the ratio between the enthalpy of vaporization and the boiling temperature.
Trouton’s rule is obeyed by a number of liquids as shown in Table.
Data in this Table showed that liquids with wide ranges of boiling points and heats of vaporization give values of the ratio ∆Hvap/T close to 88, although some of the substances show widely different values. Some sort of explanation may be given for such deviation from the Trouton’s rule.
It may be noted that the heat of vaporization divided by the temperature in Kelvin gives the increase in entropy; when a liquid is converted into vapour. For many liquids, then, the increase of entropy during vaporization or the entropy of vaporization is about 88 J deg-1 mol-1.
This means that the increase in disorder mol-1 due to vaporization is the same for a large number of liquids. The liquids which have entropies of vaporization appreciably higher than the average value of 88 J deg-1 mol-1 are those which are known to be associated with the liquid state due to hydrogen bonding. Extra energy would be required to separate the molecules from each other, which makes the entropy of vaporization high. Acetic acid and other carboxyl acids show lower values of ∆Svap. This is to be expected as these acids exist as double molecules even in the vapour state.
A usefulness of the Trouton’s rule is that an approximate value of the boiling point of the liquid may be calculated from this rule if the heat of vaporization is known. The latter quantity may be derived, from the measurement of the vapour pressure of the liquid at two or more temperatures. | <urn:uuid:fdbd59fb-5372-4d76-aea3-99d4a150ed09> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,978 |

The Fresno chile is a rather young variety of chile. It was developed and released for commercial cultivation by Clarence Brown in 1952. Brown named the chile "Fresno" in honor of Fresno, California. Fresno chiles prefer warm to hot and dry climates with long sunny summer days and cool nights for optimal growing conditions. They are grown throughout California, specifically the San Joaquin Valley, which is considered the most productive agricultural region in the world.
The Fresno chile pepper is a perennial grown primarily as an annual. Fresno chiles are of the species, Capsicum annuum, a species native to South America. They are also the same species as Jalapenos, though a different cultivar, and often mistaken for Jalapenos.
Fresno chile peppers are considered a hot chile with a Scoville ranking between 2,500 to 8,000. Its flavor and heat is similar to that of a Jalapeno or a Serrano chile. Though the seeds are hot, the flesh's cross ribs and membrane contain the compound called capsaicinoid. This single compound is responsible for the chile's heat. As the seeds cling to the ribs and membrane they inherently absorb the heat of the capsaicinoid.
Fresno chile peppers pair well with salsas, relishes, cheeses, potatoes, seafood and meat. They can be added to ceviches and marinades, and used as a base for sauces such as romanesco and rojo cream sauces.
Fresno chiles have an incredible amount of nutritional and health benefits. Packed with Vitamins A and B, Fresno chiles have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol, triglyceride levels, prevent blood clots, control blood sugar/insulin levels after meals, possibly effectively preventing Type 2 Diabetes, and are essentially calorie free. Studies have shown they may prevent prostate cancer by actually convincing cancer cells to kill themselves through a process called apoptosis. Capsaicin, the compound behind the chili's heat, is an anti-inflammatory agent as well as a natural pain reliever.

“Pent and repent as necessary”! It is simple, but not easy, which is why we tend to wait until something horrifying happens. Can I budge that trend?
I was leaving the supermarket when my conscience, or some other helpful voice in my heart, brought up my current food shopping habits. Like the small stack of svele (small thick Norwegian pancakes), a meal of which costs the same as a large bread. There is nothing wrong in buying these as such – they are harmless to the body, and a traditional Norwegian food produced locally, something one might want to encourage. However, along with most of my other food, it is unnecessarily expensive. My food costs are not extremely high, since I never dine out these days, and rarely ever buy even weakly alcoholic drinks (alcohol is taxed extremely in Norway). But I buy small portions of ready-made food, like the afore mentioned pancakes, and desserts, and these are quite expensive.
“You still have debt from when you moved a year ago” pointed out the voice in my heart. “Yes, you are paying it down, but slowly. You think you can live with it, but can you die with it? In the spirit world, almost everyone who has lived – and even most who are alive today – have lived in poverty. How will you feel coming there and leaving a debt on Earth because of your gluttony? Does this bring glory to the Name?”
I think that is a valid point. I have a conscious practice of not living as if each day was my last, because I believe our expectations tend to influence us. But I think I have taken this too far. I could spend half as much money on food and still never be hungry, and would probably be healthier as well.
Gluttony is a bit of a moving target, but when I look at the world today, I get the impression that it might be wise to move pretty far, pretty fast.
If anyone actually read this, they should now have one of two questions: EITHER “Why are you so sanctimonious?” OR “Why didn’t you think of this years ago?”
Here we have to understand that my religion or philosophy is not one of rules. Â There are those who live by rules: If they stick to the rules, they go to Heaven, otherwise the opposite. (There is usually some provision for forgiveness in case one fails a little, but generally the rules rule.) This makes things simple, at least once you got the rules memorized. As long as you don’t break the rules, you can do what you want.
I, on the other hand, can’t do what I want. I mean, I do what I want, but I can’t do that and know that I have done my best. I can never rest on my laurels, or have a perfectly good conscience. I am, in the manner of speaking, experimenting with my life. Or exploring it. Or perhaps trying to become myself. If that doesn’t make sense to you, then probably nothing I have said today will make sense. But there are many other days! Thousands, in my archives alone. | <urn:uuid:33b022c0-d1f9-43a9-9efe-5e6daf7c6ce7> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,854 |
The former Singapore international has only featured five times for the Indonesia Super League side and was dismissed due to 'poor performance'
|By Khalis Rifhan
Former Singapore international Muhammad Ridhuan has been released by Indonesia Super League (ISL) club Arema Indonesia due to his unsatisfactory performances in the first half of the season.
Ridhuan has thus far played five times for the club this season, twice as a starter, but has failed to impress coach Rahmad Darmawan in those matches.
“Ridhuan has been given the opportunity to play as a starter and also coming in as a substitute, but we decided to terminate his contract as he has failed to show maximal potential and is always injured," Arema’s media officer Sudarmaji explained.
But despite the official announcement by the club on May 8, Ridhuan was still seen training with the club the day after and was surprised with the news.
“The management has not contacted me," he told Ongsinade News.
"It is better if the information comes from them. If it’s from others, it is not certain whether it is true or false; let them [the management] contact me on this.
“Personally, I won’t be going back to Singapore as I still prefer to stay here [in Indonesia].”
Ridhuan last played in the S.League with Tampines Rovers in 2009 before making the switch to Indonesia with his current club.
When the club encountered a split in management and dualism in the local league, Ridhuan turned out for the Arema team that played in the Indonesia Premier League before signing for Arema (ISL) at the start of the 2012-2013 season. | <urn:uuid:f0b720d2-a64d-4e41-972e-230afdc0dd6f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,585 |

EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard and Visa , the three companies which originally created the standard. The standard is now managed by EMVCo, a consortium with control split equally among Visa, Mastercard, American Express and many others.
EMV is a standard for smart payment cards and for payment terminals and ATM’s which can accept them. EMV cards are smart cards (also called chip cards) which store their data on integrated circuits rather than magnetic stripes, although many EMV cards also have stripes for backwards compatibility. They can be contact cards which must be physically inserted into a reader, or contactless cards which can be read over a short distance using radio-frequency identification (RFI) technology. Payment cards which comply with the EMV standard are often called “Chip and Pin”or “Chip and Signature”, depending on the authentication methods required to use them.
EMV chip card transactions improve security against fraud compared to magnetic stripe card transactions that rely on the holder’s signature and visual inspection of the card. The use of a PIN and incrypted algorithms provide authentication of the card to the processing terminal and the card issuer’s host system. The expected increased protection from fraud has allowed banks and credit card issuers to push through a ‘liability shift’ such that merchants are now liable (as from October 1, 2015 in the U.S.) for any fraud that results from transactions on systems that are not EMV compliant.
Apple Pay is a mobile payment service that lets certain Apple mobile devices make payments at retail and online checkout. It digitizes and replaces the credit or debit magnetic stripe card transactions. The service lets Apple devices wirelessly communicate with point of sales (POS) systems using a near field communication (NFC) antenna, a “dedicated chip that stores encrypted payment information.” The service is compatible with most compatible Apple devices and ApplePay capable payment terminals. | <urn:uuid:f2438f7b-71b8-48e1-b52b-d75a4f1a598e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,834 |

Government has purportedly canceled the budget of the High Peace Council in the wake of President Ghani’s establishing of state ministry for peace to steer peace affairs.
Some councilmembers are blasting at the budget cancellation arguing that the council is facing a lack of facilities and budget and non-reimbursements for employees.
Councilmember Shahla Farid made the revelation about the predicaments confronting the peace council and said the government is slowly taking away authorities of the council – which was initially founded by former President Hamid Karzai in 2010 following a summit with prominent politicians.
The formation of the council was demanded during a peace consultative Loya Jirga in 2009 which converged 1,500 tribal elders to find a ways for the challenges which the country was facing then, especially peace talks with the Taliban.
Karzai has appointed a Jihadi leader, Burhanuddin Rabbani as head of the council, who was assassinated by the Taliban in 20th September 2011.
But incumbent President Ashraf Ghani has established a parallel administration in regards- which is the ministry of state for peace affairs. Ghani has appointed Abdul Salam Rahimi as head of the ministry.
Earlier this month, the parliament has also approved the establishment of the ministry. | <urn:uuid:e345caeb-ae0c-4b41-9c40-1575e2958cc4> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,296 |

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- New information released by Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous has many debating whether the shooting that killed two of three alleged robbers at a Wilmington Pizza Hut was excessive force or justifiable homicide..
Chief Ralph Evangelous says details in this case have been slow to emerge due to ongoing internal investigations and an investigation by the SBI.
Investigators say it began as an armed robbery, but quickly became much more.
"As officers arrived and saw an armed robbery in progress they saw guns being used during this robbery,” said Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous.
A Wilmington police officer who was keeping an eye on the area called it in and waited for the suspects, Jalani Smith, Tevin Robinson, and Ronald Roland to leave the Pizza Hut. Soon after, it turned deadly.
"Officers challenged suspects and gave them several commands to surrender,” said Evangelous. “The suspects refused to comply with the officers and ran towards the officers. The suspects were then fired upon by our officers. We have now learned that the suspects didn't fire on the officers. Two weapons were seized by the suspects at the incident."
On our website many viewers have praised the six Wilmington Police officers involved, while others questioned whether the shooting that killed Robinson and Roland was justified.
We turned to North Carolina State law for answers. According to N.C. GEN.STAT.§ 15A-401(d)(2)(1978) A law-enforcement officer is justified in using deadly physical force upon another person only when it is or appears to be reasonably necessary thereby:
a. To defend himself or a third person from what he reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of deadly physical force;
b. To effect an arrest or to prevent the escape from custody of a person who he reasonably believes is attempting to escape by means of a deadly weapon, or who by his conduct or any other means indicates that he presents an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to others unless apprehended without delay; or
c. To prevent the escape of a person from custody imposed upon him as a result of conviction for a felony.
Nothing in this subdivision constitutes justification for willful, malicious or criminally negligent conduct by any person which injures or endangers any person or property, nor shall it be construed to excuse or justify the use of unreasonable or excessive force. | <urn:uuid:1710500c-2da8-47b0-997e-a797906f1618> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,431 |
Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique (east-tec SafeBit uses a 256-bit stronger variation) developed by 2 Belgian cryptographers: Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. The U.S government adopted the algorithm as its encryption technique in October 2000, replacing the obsolete DES encryption. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of Commerce selected the algorithm, called Rijndael (pronounced Rhine Dahl or Rain Doll), out of a group of five algorithms under consideration.
A formula or set of steps for solving a particular problem. In east-tec SafeBit, we refer by algorithm an encryption algorithm which is the set of steps required to encrypt data.
An encrypted file which contains all the files and folders of a Safe. Container File will have the same size as the Safe has. It can be moved or resized anytime.
The process of decoding data that has been encrypted into a secret format. Decryption requires a secret key or password.
The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text ; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text.
There are two main types of encryption: asymmetric encryption (also called public-key encryption) and symmetric encryption. east-tec SafeBit uses symmetric encryption.
A secret series of characters that enables a user to access a file, computer, or program. On multi-user systems, each user must enter his or her password before the computer will respond to commands. The password helps ensure that unauthorized users do not access the computer. In addition, encrypted data files and programs may require a password.
Ideally, the password should be something that nobody could guess. In practice, most people choose a password that is easy to remember, such as their name or their initials. This is one reason it is relatively easy to break into most computer systems.
A particular container file that can be mounted on a drive letter. The data from the safe is encrypted. Every Safe is password protected.
Refers to techniques for ensuring that data stored in a computer cannot be read or compromised. Most security measures involve data encryption and passwords. Data encryption is the translation of data into a form that is unintelligible without a deciphering mechanism. A password is a secret word or phrase that gives a user access to a particular program or system. | <urn:uuid:a3e717ff-2f8e-4d13-a2f1-551efe7e5b07> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,603 |
Support lzma images with unset file size
The lzma compression tool stores the size of the uncompressed file in
the header of the lzma output file. However, if it reads its input data
over stdin, it just stores 0xFFFFFFFF as the file size meaning the file
size is unknown.
The Linux kernel makefiles use lzma in the latter mode where we end up
with an lzma file that does not have the file size stored in the header.
This change is similar to the upstream commit

This is an artists concept of Cassini during the Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) maneuver, just after the main engine has begun firing. The spacecraft is moving out of the plane of the page and to the right (firing to reduce its spacecraft velocity with respect to Saturn) and has just crossed the ring plane.
The SOI maneuver, which is approximately 90 minutes long, will allow
Cassini to be captured by Saturn's gravity into a five-month orbit. Cassini's close proximity to the planet after the maneuver offers a
unique opportunity to observe Saturn and its rings at extremely high resolution.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Publication Date: 1st May 2019
I have read and thoroughly enjoyed Kit De Waal’s novels, My Name Is Leon and The Trick To Time, so when I saw that she was responsible for putting together a collection of essays, poems and memoir centred around the subject of being working class, I was VERY interested.
When Unbound offered me an advanced review copy I jumped at the chance to read and review it. The front cover shows an illustrious list of 33 working class writers. Names which jumped straight out at me were Lisa Blower, Cathy Rentzenbrink, Damian Barr and Louise Doughty. I recently read and reviewed Lisa Blower’s short story collection It’s Gone Dark Over Bill’s Mother’s and absolutely loved it, so I was particularly eager to get to her piece (which I adored by the way!).
This collection kicks off with a poem called Tough by Tony Walsh (aka Longfellow) and this perfectly captured the tone of the book and set the scene for what was to follow impeccably. I remember sitting next to my book trolley and just flicking through the book, not actually ready to sit down and read it yet but devouring that poem and re-reading it a couple of times to myself and thinking, in fact knowing, I was going to love the book.
What followed for me was an almost perfect reading experience which struck so many chords within me and sparked myriad memories of my childhood that I felt like I’d been transported back in time. You see, I live in the North of England, had a working class upbringing and still consider myself to be working class. Many of the essays/memoir were centred around childhood and various aspects of working class life.
I can honestly say that bar one essay, (which I think went a little over my head!), each and every piece resonated in some way with me. I found comparisons to draw with my own childhood or adult life, and if not, there was nuggets of emotion that chimed within me anyway.
I obviously can’t talk about every single story much as I’d love to (I know they aren’t ‘stories’ as such but I shall refer to them that way). But I will just mention a few to give you a feel for some of the subjects touched upon.
Don’t Mention Class by Katy Massey is the story of Katy’s childhood, growing up in Leeds as a half-caste child of a single parent who makes her living in the sex industry. Katy credits her education in marriage, sex, relationships and life in general to the various women who passed through her mothers brothel Aristotles. The idea that most people now in her adult life consider her to have ‘overcome’ her working class northern upbringing is fascinating given that Katy herself doesn’t see it as ‘overcoming’ at all, rather her childhood ‘constructed’ her. I love this sentiment.
Then we have Little Boxes by Stuart Maconie which details his childhood growing up on a purpose built housing estate. Warrens of alleyways, cut-throughs and entries linking blocks of houses together. Estate life with street names designed to give an air of intellect to the area, Keats Avenue, Eliot Drive, Blake Close, Milton Grove. This immediately brought back memories for me, having had grandparents who lived on one of these purpose built estates which they moved to when they were brand new in the early 60’s. Also with literary links Shakespeare Road, Stratford Gardens, Shottery Walks. There is a paragraph in this story which struck me as oh so true:
There is no point telling working class mums that you ‘had a nice lunch’ or ‘will grab something later’. They will not let you sit in the house without eating; food equals love in houses where hugs and kisses are still awkward currency
Peoples relationships with food was a subject being talked about at work one day and I happened to have Common People in my bag. I read the paragraph above out loud and so many people could identify with it.
One story which really sticks in my mind is The Funeral And The Wedding by Jodie Russian-Red. The idea that the only two occasions in life where the whole of a family gets together is either a funeral or a wedding. From deciding who’s wearing what, debating whether there will be a decent buffet, worrying about who’ll be there and whether there’ll be any tensions between so and so and you know who. Then of course there’s the slightly hungover debrief the next morning, the gossip, the scandal. It is of course entirely true that all extended family come together for these occasions and I’ve attended many a wedding and a funeral at our local working men’s club to identify. Again another piece of writing full of memories for me.
As I said, I can’t possibly talk about all the stories but between life in a high rise flat where most interactions with neighbours begin and end in the lifts, darts teams, nights out at the dog track and life growing up in the Stoke potteries, there is something for everyone here.
Obviously all the writing styles are different as you would expect but there is a common thread which binds them all together into one brilliant cohesive collection. The thread of working class honour, pride and determination. And not just that, also this idea that you can be from a working class background and be a writer, of course you can!
This is a beautifully curated collection and I can now fully stand by my bold tweet that the lovely Kit De Waal can do no wrong in my eyes.
Not only has this book stirred some lovely cherished memories it has given me a deep sense of working class pride. Pride in my family, my upbringing and the way I’m choosing to raise my own children, in the hope they have lots of cherished memories too.
I have spent time with some favourite writers and been introduced to some exciting, fresh new voices which I will absolutely go on to explore.
A stunning collection that I can’t recommend highly enough!
Thank you to Unbound and Becca Harper-Day for allowing me to read an advanced review copy. Thank you also to the lovely folk who crowdfunded the publishing of this book.
See you all soon.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League campaign has kicked off with a bang, leaving fans and critics in awe of their extraordinary performance. The North London club is currently perched at the top of the table, with an impressive record of six wins and two draws. Notably, their outstanding start has not gone unnoticed, as three Spurs players have secured their spots in WhoScored’s Premier League Team of the Season so far.
Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, and James Maddison, the standout performers from Tottenham’s remarkable journey, have rightly earned their places in the prestigious XI. Their contributions on the field have been nothing short of exceptional, and they continue to be instrumental in Spurs’ quest for glory this season.
Guglielmo Vicario, the summer signing, has made an indelible mark in his short time at the club. Tottenham secured his services for a reported £17 million, and he has more than justified the investment. The 27-year-old goalkeeper has exhibited remarkable shot-stopping prowess, maintaining an impressive save success rate of 80.5 percent. Only Liverpool’s Alisson Becker boasts a better record in the Premier League. Vicario’s stellar performances between the posts have garnered him a well-deserved WhoScored rating of 7.07. Notably, he has managed to keep three clean sheets, a testament to his vital role in the team’s defensive stability.
Cristian Romero has emerged as a rock in Tottenham’s defense, catching the eye of fans and pundits alike. The club secured his services for a fee of £42 million, and he has proved to be worth every penny. Under the guidance of new manager Ange Postecoglou, Romero has flourished, showcasing his defensive prowess. With 20 tackles, 12 interceptions, and 35 clearances to his name, the 23-year-old has consistently thwarted opposition attacks. His WhoScored rating stands at an impressive 7.39, reflecting his unwavering commitment to the Spurs cause.
James Maddison’s arrival at Tottenham has injected creativity and goal-scoring prowess into the team’s midfield. With a WhoScored rating of 7.76, Maddison is the highest-rated player in the Premier League, a testament to his incredible impact. The 25-year-old midfielder has been directly involved in seven of Tottenham’s goals in the league, both scoring and assisting. Moreover, he has played a pivotal role in the team’s build-up play, contributing 25 key passes that have ignited numerous attacking moves.
Tottenham’s sensational start to the Premier League season can largely be attributed to the outstanding performances of Vicario, Romero, and Maddison. Their individual brilliance has not only secured their spots in the prestigious WhoScored’s Premier League Team of the Season so far but has also propelled Tottenham to the summit of the league table. As the season progresses, fans will be eagerly watching to see if these stars can maintain their exceptional form and lead Spurs to a successful campaign. | <urn:uuid:1001fce2-e5d0-4ccf-b575-5503575d781a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,954 |
It was 1991 on a Sunday and I was in some kind of retail store…it could have been Target or Sears, I forget. But I do remember vividly when I first saw it: a Super Mario game in vibrant 16-bit visuals. It wasn’t the first time I’ve witnessed the new technology. Both the Turbo Grafx-16 and the Sega Genesis have already come out, but since I was solidly a Nintendo fanboy, the Super Nintendo is what I’ve been waiting for.
Super Star Wars, Super Empire Strikes Back, and Super Return of the Jedi…these were some of the best and toughest platformer/shooters for the Super Nintendo. If you enjoy shouting expletives to the point of an aneurysm while fighting Emperor Palpatine, these games will be available on the Virtual Console for 800 Wii Points each. | <urn:uuid:5b8d22b8-5c5a-4afc-9233-97861922df87> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 753 |

Want Top Dollar for Your House? Apply Elbow Grease
In recent months, Jon, a Madison, Wis., homeowner, has been looking at his house in a new way -- not through the eyes of the guy who lives there, but from the perspective of a potential buyer.
That spurred him to paint the front door and stoop, wash windows inside and out, clean mildew off window frames, do some landscaping, and finish numerous other tasks in and around his home. All told, he spent about three months' worth of weekends and lots of weeknights getting his house ready to sell -- about twice as long as he'd figured it would take. And it was well worth it, he says.
"If you don't give that kind of attention to your house, buyers are going to notice right away," he said. "They'll take a cursory look and be out of there in two minutes."
Many real estate agents agree with Jon's approach to preparing a house for sale. In a 2012 survey of agents, almost 90 percent said home improvements can help sell a home faster, and nearly 73 percent felt home improvements could boost the sales price -- if those are the right improvements.
Given that most of us have a limited supply of time and money, how should you best invest yours to get your home ready to sell?
Some actions can have a big impact on a buyer's perception of your home, and cost you no money at all. Start with decluttering your house, recommends Robin Vogel, a real estate agent and accredited staging professional in the Seattle area. "Clutter eats equity," she said.
Descend on your bulging closets and storage rooms to sort through which items to keep, toss, recycle, or donate to charity. Then there are those knickknacks, family photos, souvenirs, and other items scattered throughout every room. Pack up the items you plan to keep to take with you to your new home.
"I have no problem with people packing things up and stacking boxes neatly in the garage," Vogel said. "Just get it out of the main part of the house."
The next step is a thorough cleaning of the whole house. Get into every nook, cranny, and corner of each room. "I'm talking Q-Tip clean," Vogel said. "Buyers don't like to buy other people's dirt."
Next on your to-do list would be basic, inexpensive improvements. Applying a fresh coat of paint can make a huge difference in a room's appearance, said Lori Matzke, president of Center Stage Home, a home-staging business based in the Minneapolis area.
"If you have a peacock blue living room," she said, "you may want to change that out to something that other people can live with, with their furniture." That's why neutral colors are best. Sure, the buyers may decide to repaint with their own choices of colors some day. But most buyers in today's market, Matzke and Vogel agree, want to be able to move into a house without having to immediately tackle redecorating and repair projects.
For that reason, putting in new carpeting is another project to consider, especially if your current carpeting looks outdated and worn. Again, choose a neutral color that will work with whatever furnishings the new owner will bring into the house.
In some markets, wood floors may be a bigger sell than carpeting, especially on the main floor, Matzke points out. "Wood floors are easy to do now," she said, "and (sometimes) can be done almost for the same price as carpeting."
Go through your house and notice all the low-cost fixes or changes you could make that would appeal to a buyer: a new shower curtain, updated knobs on kitchen and bath cabinets, a new welcome mat by the front door, trimming or removing those overgrown shrubs along the front of the house, and so on.
As you survey your home inside and out, "look at it as a product," Matzke said, "instead of as the home you live in. Emotionally detach yourself from it."
In other words, use a buyer's eyes. You may love that dining room wallpaper that you selected so carefully 20 years ago and paid a small fortune for, but now its peeling and dated. Get rid of it.
Likewise, think about replacing old kitchen appliances. "Nobody wants a 30-year-old harvest gold refrigerator anymore," Matzke said.
Remember, "95 percent of buyers can't see past what's there," she said. That means most don't do well at envisioning a house's "potential." What buyers see in front of them is what will stick in their minds as they form an impression of your house and decide if they want to make an offer to buy it.
Sometimes sellers assume that a major remodel of the kitchen or bathroom is sure to boost a house's sale price enough to be worth the cost. Not necessarily, Vogel cautions.
"I wish sellers would contact their agents before they do the kinds of projects that are going to cost a fair amount of money," she said, "to make sure they're going down the right path."
The agent can tell you what's going on in the marketplace. What are homes similar to yours selling for, and what level of finish do these homes have. For example, how much work has been done on other houses for sale in your market and what is the quality of that work? Then you can decide if you should undertake a more costly remodeling project before selling.
"You don't want to be higher than the competition," Vogel said, "and you don't want to help the competition to sell, either. So you need to know what's going on in the houses around you."
Another piece of advice Vogel gives sellers -- and she sees a growing number of agents doing so -- is to get a professional home inspection before putting your house on the market. You'll avoid nasty surprises that could torpedo a deal later.
You'll get a list of jobs that need to be done; you can decide which to do and inform a buyer about remaining projects. Plus, you could get bids for those jobs you don't do, so the buyer knows what to expect. It's much easier to do all this before you put your house up for sale, rather than in the midst of buyer-seller negotiations with tight deadlines.
"You'll have all the information and all your ducks in a row," Vogel said. "And that is huge ammunition with many buyers."
As for home-seller Jon, agents showing the house frequently remarked that it was immaculate and showed well. "Being told by the pros that we were on the right path for show-worthiness was big," he said. The hard work and attention to detail before putting his home on the market paid off.
Jon reported, "We've sold our house! A young family that has been renting the house next to ours decided they loved the neighborhood and will be the new owners." | <urn:uuid:de3c57da-9aa0-4aba-a011-bed133d32956> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 6,489 |
5 Significant Ways My Adoptive Parents Shaped My Life
When I was younger, my friends would always respond the same way after they learned I was adopted: “Oh, I'm sorry.”
At that age, I never understood their response.
Why were they sorry? Did they know I was adopted into a great family? Did they know I was happy?
Now that I'm older, it makes a little more sense.
Sometimes, the phrase “adoption” has a negative connotation, as if the only way someone could be adopted was because he or she endured some sort of terrible scenario and there was no way out.
While that is most definitely the case for some, it was not the situation I experienced. So when friends would immediately apologize, I'd laugh and ask them, “Why?”
In all honesty, aside from being an African-American adopted into a Caucasian family, I've never really felt different.
I fit in so well with my family, it's like I was never really adopted at all.
I think part of the reason I'm so comfortable is because I was adopted when I was 6 weeks old, so this family is the only one I remember.
However, I think a larger part of the reason is because quite frankly, we were meant to be together.
In some mysterious way, I honestly think the universe knew we needed each other and paired us together.
I don't even use the phrase “adoptive family” because it sounds so foreign to me.
My family is my family, adoptive or not.
Now that I'm older, I've begun to search for my birth mother, but I haven't had any contact with her.
The search is out of sheer curiosity, not because I feel I'm missing anything or yearning for closure.
My only hope in this search is to gain knowledge of my family history and to make a friend who shares my genes.
As I reflect back on the 28 years of my life as an adopted child, I can't help but hope my parents realize the sheer magnitude of my love for them.
I'm terrible at verbalizing mushy emotions. Maybe I don't express them enough, but I'm hopeful my parents will never forget how I feel:
1. I'm thankful.
In 28 years, I've done and experienced more than I could have ever imagined, and most of that is due to you.
I appreciate the opportunities that have been provided for me, and I will never take them for granted.
When you were deciding to adopt, you said your only request was you wanted a girl, and the rest didn't matter.
You saw my picture, and said yes. I'm thankful it was me who was lucky enough to get you as parents.
2. I've never felt different.
Any difference I feel due to my race has to do mainly with outsiders (i.e., strangers mistaking me for my niece and nephew's nanny, rather than their aunt).
When it comes to our family, I know I'm loved equally.
With three other children in the mix, I can only imagine how difficult it may have been to make sure everyone felt included, but I hope you know I always felt like I had my time to shine.
3. I really like spending time with you.
Whether it's browsing the madness of IKEA or acting silly during family dinner night, it only took me 28 years to realize you guys are actually pretty cool.
Whether we're having in-depth conversations or laughing until our sides hurt, I'm happiest when we're all together as a family.
4. I look up to you.
You both are my role models, and you always will be.
You work very hard, and I enjoy hearing stories of your past and seeing how all your experiences together at such a young age have helped build the foundation that is now our family.
The fact you chose to adopt makes me feel special, and despite any hardships we face, I will always be grateful of the life you provided for me.
5. You'll always be my parents.
No matter what happens in the future, whether I find my birth family or not, you will always have the number one spot in my life.
The names “Mom” and “Dad” are reserved for you two only, and I don't plan on extending that courtesy to anyone else.
Your opinions and feelings will always matter to me, and regardless of my future, I will always have you to thank for my past.
National Adoption Month gives me the time to reflect on how different my life could be if I was adopted into another family or not adopted at all.
I feel honored this is the life I was given, and I will remain hopeful adopted children around the world will be blessed with the same positive feelings, inclusion and opportunities with their new families.
I guess to put it simply, I'd just like to extend a thank you to my mom and dad for bringing me into their family.
I'll never be able to repay you, but I hope I can continue to make you proud.

This post is, once again, a summary of a longer post authored by me on my own blog. My blog covers a lot of areas, including Vedic Mathematics. If you are interested in reading my thoughts on other topics, please feel free to visit my blog and post comments on the other articles you find there also! Thank you!
In the previous lesson, we learned how to identify the most general form of an equation that can be solved using a merger operation. In general, such equations have two terms on the left hand side and one term on the right hand side. In this lesson, we will extend the methodology to some equations that have more than two terms on the left hand side.
To set the stage, consider an equation of the type below:
3/(x + 2) + 2/(x + 1) + 4/(x + 7) = 9/(x + 4)
We see that there are not two, but three terms on the left hand side of the equation, but there is only one term on the right hand side of the equation. Moreover, the sum of numerators on the left hand side (3 + 2 + 4) is equal to the numerator on the right hand side (9). Also, the coefficients of the unknown in all the terms is unity.
Now, look at the series of manipulations below:
3/(x + 2) + 2/(x + 1) + 4/(x + 7) = 9/(x + 4) becomes
3/(x + 2) – 3/(x + 4) + 2/(x + 1) – 2/(x + 4) + 4/(x + 7) – 4/(x + 4) = 0 becomes
3*(x + 4 – x – 2)/[(x + 2)*(x + 4) + 2*(x + 4 – x – 1)/[(x + 1)*(x + 4) + 4*(x + 4 – x – 7)/[(x + 7)*(x + 4)] = 0 becomes
[1/(x + 4)] * [3*2/(x + 2) + 2*3/(x +1) -4*3/(x + 7)] = 0 becomes
6/(x + 2) + 6/(x + 1) – 12/(x + 7) = 0 becomes
6/(x + 2) + 6/(x + 1) = 12/(x + 7)
We now see that the right hand side term has been merged with the left hand side, and we are left with an equation that is once again capable of undergoing another merger to get the solution (the numerators on the left hand side, 6 and 6, add up to the numerator on the right hand side, 12, and the coefficients of the unknown in all three terms are unity again).
Performing the merger operation on the resulting equation gives us a final equation of:
30/(x + 2) + 36/(x + 1) = 0
This then gives us a solution of x = -17/11. One can verify that this indeed is the correct solution to both the original given equation as well as the intermediate equations derived after the first and second mergers.
Since the solution procedure for the given equation involved performing two mergers one after the other, this procedure is referred to as a multiple merger. In fact, under the right conditions, it is possible to string together any number of mergers to solve an equation. The question then becomes: what are the right conditions?
To answer that question, let us consider a general equation as below:
p/(x + a) + q/(x + b) + r/(x + c) = s/(x + d)
Let us now assume that p + q + r = s. Thus we can perform a merger operation to begin with, and eliminate s and d, giving us:
p*(d – a)/(x + a) + q*(d – b)/(x + b) + r*(d – c)/(x + c) = 0
To be able to perform a second merger and solve the equation, the condition that has to be satisfied is as below:
Either p*(a – d) = q*(d – b) + r*(d – c) or
q*(b – d) = p*(d – a) + r*(d – c) or
r*(c – d) = p*(d – a) + q*(d – b)
If any of the above conditions are satisfied, then a second merger can be performed and the equation can be solved using merger. Assuming the third condition is satisfied, we can rewrite the equation after the first merger as below:
p*(d – a)/(x + a) + q*(d – b)/(x + b) = r*(c – d)/(x + c)
Because the third condition is true, we know that the sum of the numerators on the left hand side of the above equation is equal to the numerator on the right hand side of the equation. Therefore, we can perform another merger operation to eliminate r*(c – d) and c. This will give us:
p*(d – a)*(c – a)/(x + a) + q*(d – b)*(c – b)/(x + b) = 0
This can then be solved using the formula we derived in the first lesson on mergers here.
The extension of this methodology to more than 2 mergers must now be obvious to the reader. At each step, after the performance of a merger, the remaining terms must satisfy the conditions for another merger to be performed. The conditions imply that the sum of all but one of the terms must be equal to the negative of one of the terms. Depending on which term is thus isolated, a merger would once again be performed on the equation until the equation is reduced to two terms, at which point it can be solved using the formula we derived earlier.
You can read the rest of this lesson on my blog here. Good luck, and happy computing! | <urn:uuid:11facc46-2615-44fc-a41d-7e9950339e17> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 4,534 |
University of Michigan Health Sciences Libraries Brings in the Dogs
Anna Ercoli Schnitzer
Health Sciences Libraries
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, MI
On the morning of November 4th, the staff of the Health Sciences Libraries, plus about a dozen visitors from the Health System, were treated to a demonstration by representatives from Paws with a Cause–of how a trained service dog can help a client who happens to be paralyzed or otherwise physically challenged.
Becky and her black lab Dart (short for D’Artagnan) worked together to illustrate how the dog can pick up fallen objects–some as small as a dime, pull off clothing (gloves, jacket, shoes) and even help an individual to rise from a sitting or supine position. We met another dog, a golden retriever puppy, who was being socialized by Diane, another Paws representative before being put through its training, a regimen that costs about $20,000 for each dog. Paws with a Cause pays for everything except the annual maintenance (vet’s fees, food) for the working dogs when they are placed.
We were told that there are also dogs that can tell specifically when a seizure is about to take place in a person who has epilepsy. Becky told us several heartwarming anecdotes in this context. Further, interestingly, there is now a growing need for dogs to be placed with individuals who have autism, because dogs provide comfort to these individuals and encourage them to interact.
After our session, we were asked by the head of the Science Library whether they could bring in the dogs, too. They asked to have them visit specifically at exam time, so that the students could mix and mingle with the dogs, thus reducing exam anxiety a little bit.

Technology penetrates different industries, revolutionizing tons of processes and making people’s lives easier. One of the practices it reshaped is caregiving, particularly, caring for seniors. Plenty of devices and inventions are available for caregivers – either licensed professionals or family members who chose to take care of their loved ones personally.
These technological advancements supplement the standard caregiving tools and equipment, such as medical charts, medication tracker, vital signs apparatus, portable walk-in bathtubs, wheelchairs and walkers, and shower grab bars.
Here are some of the newest technological breakthroughs that make caregivers’ lives easier.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a technology that enables physicians to monitor patients in their homes, extending their reach. This allows a constant relationship and contact between caregivers and patients, even if they’re at different locations. The technology also increases the patients’ access to care services and reduces expenses on healthcare delivery and hospital visits.
RPM devices also allow continuous surveillance, preventing accidents. This is beneficial, especially for patients with dementia who are at risk of falls. Caregivers can affix RPM trackers on the patient’s walker or wheelchair. The sensor then monitors the elder’s location, posture, and manner of walking. Through an algorithm, the RPM device predicts the probability for falls and alerts the caregiver if an accident will occur or has occurred.
RPMS are getting smarter, with some models having the ability to track vital signs. The digital blood pressure cuff records the patient’s BP and pulse rate and sends these data remotely to the physician. These newer models also include voice technology that reminds diabetes patients when it’s time to take their insulin.
Personal Emergency Response Systems
People with limited mobility can have trouble calling for help when necessary, especially in the event of an injury or accident. Personal emergency response systems (PERS) come in the form of non-restricting wristbands or lightweight pendants that the patient can wear without disrupting his or her normal routine.
When an accident occurs, the patient can press the button to alert the caregiver or contact emergency services. A smarter model may house RPM technology that can detect if an accident is about to happen or has happened and automatically warn the caregiver.
Most of the models can only operate inside the home, but newer models can now work even when the user is mobile.
Telehealth is the distribution of healthcare information and services through electronic technologies, like Zoom or Skype. Telehealth allows elders to live independently.
Through this technology, older adults can set medical appointments and check-ups through their smartphone or computer. This reduces the hassle and expenses for hospital visits, preventing instances when patients have to travel far and wait a long time in clinics.
Telehealth also allows more flexibility when scheduling appointments, so physicians can easily check on their patients through digital apps. Regular check-ups also enable doctors to more accurately pinpoint symptoms and health issues.
At a time when America is running out of caregivers and the baby boomer population continues to age, these devices help fill the gap. And more importantly, they empower seniors and give them a sense of independence. | <urn:uuid:5babeb25-c61a-4bf7-9356-a2e31392ce09> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,468 |
Reliance Industries has given back the land allotted for setting up an electronics manufacturing unit near Tirupati to the State Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC). The company has withdrawn a proposal to set up a set-top box and dongles manufacturing unit with an investment of Rs 15,000 crore.
Officials of the Tirupati APIIC zonal office confirmed that Reliance had given back the land. An official said the government now needs to return the amount deposited for the lands. The previous Chandrababu Naidu government had allotted 136 acres to Reliance. Jagan Government handed over 75 acres of land.
The rest of the land can not be given due to land acquisition issues. Finally, the company revealed that it is no longer interested in pursuing the project in Andhra Pradesh. The government’s efforts to persuade it to invest did not work. A manufacturing industry creates a huge number of jobs for the locals. This is a big opportunity lost for Andhra Pradesh.
“Jagan has given a Rajya Sabha seat to Nathwani, the right-hand man of Ambani in the name of bringing investments. Forget about new investments, the already promised investments are also going back. Thanks to this government,” TDP criticizes the Jagan Government. | <urn:uuid:36b4108d-3ae7-44be-b3d9-73346f05903c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,227 |
COP28 fossil fuel battle hardens despite new warning on warming
Battle lines on fossil fuels hardened at UN climate talks on Tuesday despite scientists warning that global warming could breach the 1.5C threshold within seven years.
A new COP28 draft agreement in Dubai included the options of phasing out fossil fuels or not addressing the issue at all, setting the stage for tough negotiations due to end next week.
Saudi Arabia -- the world's biggest oil exporter -- took a hardline stance, saying it would «absolutely not» agree to phasing down fossil fuels, never mind phasing them out.
The thorny debate over the future of fossil fuels, the biggest cause of global warming, is the key battleground at the COP28 meeting hosted by the oil-rich United Arab Emirates.
- 'Extremely unhappy' -
The latest version of a potential agreement included three options -- an «orderly and just» phase-out, faster efforts to phase out fossil fuel projects that do not capture and store emissions, or «no text» on the subject.
An earlier draft, prepared by the UK and Singapore, that proposed a «phasedown/out» was badly received by delegates, a Latin American negotiator told AFP.
«Everyone was extremely unhappy with the first draft,» the negotiator said, requesting anonymity.
«When we started talking... everything collapsed... There is pretty much nothing on the way forward,» the delegate added.
Saudi Arabia's energy minister said he would «absolutely not» agree to a phase-down of fossil fuels in the COP28 agreement.
«I would like to put that challenge for all of those who... come out publicly saying we have to (phase down),» Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Bloomberg.
«Call them and ask them how they are gonna do that?»
- 'Elephant in the room' -Laurence Tubiana, the architect of the landmark Paris climate accord in 2015, said the negotiations are «difficult because we're at a stage where all options are on the table and we don't see a balancing point.
»On one hand it's normal at this stage but it seems particularly difficult because we're talking about the elephant in the room, which is fossil fuels,« Tubiana told AFP.
- Record oil lobbyists -
Nearly 2,500 fossil fuel lobbyists -- a record -- have been accredited for UN climate talks in Dubai, campaign groups said.
The NGO umbrella group Kick Big Polluters Out said 2,456 people tied to fossil fuel interests were identified, roughly four times the number at COP27 last year.
If taken as a group they outnumber »every country delegation« apart from Brazil and the UAE, the coalition added.
Campaigners have worried about the influence of the fossil fuel lobby since Sultan Al Jaber, the head of the UAE's national oil company ADNOC, was named president of COP28.
- 1.5C alive? -
The annual Global Carbon Project estimated Tuesday there is a 50 percent chance warming will exceed the 2015 Paris deal's goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius over multiple years by around 2030.
Fossil fuel CO2 pollution also rose 1.1 percent last year, according to an international consortium of climate scientists in their annual Global Carbon Project assessment, with surging emissions in China and India -- now the world's first and third biggest emitters.
Projected global warming has risen slightly -- by 0.1C -- the Climate Action Tracker said in its annual update on government plans, putting it at a catastrophic 2.5C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, the group said.
»Despite their promises, governments have not taken enough action to drive down warming projections, with some instead turning to false solutions such as carbon capture and storage to continue the world's reliance on fossil fuels,« it said.
- 'Kick big polluters out!' -
Dozens of people protested inside the COP28 venue Tuesday under blistering sun, holding up signs reading »Phase out fossil fuels now« and »Stop funding fossil fuels«.
»Kick big polluters out!« they chanted.
»If the United Nations continues to allow the fossil fuel industry to lead climate mitigation and to lead COP... I have zero confidence that COP will be successful," Thomas Harmy Joseph, a member of the US-based Indigenous Environmental Network, told AFP.

A past winner of the TV show Child Genius was among the A Level success stories at Horsforth School in Leeds.
Thomas Frith, who is just 14, sat another two A Levels four years early, having already gained two.
The 2015 Child Genius winner already holds A* grades in maths and further maths, and now has an A in computer science and a C in additional further maths.
His achievements mean he has been invited to the UK Mathematics Trust Olympiad Training Camp over the summer holidays, as one of the most able young mathematicians in the country.
Headteacher Dr Paul Bell said:
“To say that Thomas is only just about to start Year 10 is amazing. We are really proud of what he has achieved and glad that we could support him to fulfil his desire to excel. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Thomas.”
Top achievers in year 13 at the school were Victoria Daramy-Williams, Hannah Bainbridge, Rachel Brown and Anna Cartledge, who were thrilled to gain three A* grades in their A Level results.
Victoria will go on to study natural sciences at Cambridge University, Hannah will study drama and theatre arts at the University of Birmingham, Rachel will study chemistry at the University of York and Anna is off to the University of Sheffield to study medicine. | <urn:uuid:380e74fc-27f0-4613-81a7-bff1ae904f25> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,264 |

It is difficult to describe a typical day as a judicial assistant (“JA”) because my days here have been incredibly varied. Each judicial assistant is assigned to work with one Lord or Lady Justice. This is a reflective of a day I had recently and I refer to the judge to whom I am assigned as “my judge”.
I usually arrive in to work at around 9:30am. If I have missed my breakfast at home in a bid to beat the rush hour crowds, I will buy myself a sausage bap from the café downstairs and make a cup of tea in the JA kitchen.
Once I reach my desk, I can usually expect a phone call from my judge at around 10:00am asking me to the office to discuss the bench memorandum I prepared for the appeal being heard that day. JAs prepare these documents for the judges to help them navigate the case files, distill the issues and save on preparation time. During this short meeting, my judge will often ask me clarification questions, challenge my legal opinion and give helpful feedback on my work.
When I first arrived at the Court of Appeal, I was somewhat intimidated by these one-on-one interactions with a senior justice of appeal. However, my judge and all of the judges, with whom I have worked, have been incredibly nice and supportive. These types of interactions are fantastic preparation for pupillage in that they require me to form an opinion on the papers, draft clearly and be able to defend my views orally before a judge.
At 10:15am, the other judges will attend my judge’s office for the pre-court meeting. This is their time to discuss the bench memo, their initial views of the case and raise any pertinent issues. Being in the room for these meetings is one of my favourite parts of the role because it involves witnessing a legal discussion between some of the greatest legal minds in the country. It is also rewarding when a lord or lady justice of appeal agrees with my analysis of the case (this can all change once they hear the oral arguments).
At 10:30am, I go into court to watch the hearing. The judicial assistants sit in the press area and have a clear view of the judges and the advocates. It has been rewarding to witness different styles of advocacy and learn what works for judges. It makes me even more excited to eventually get on my own feet.
The court adjourns at 1pm for an hour for lunch. If I am going to be in a hearing, I bring in my own food from home. What happens during this time regularly changes. Sometimes I find myself with a free hour in the JA’s office. At other times, I assist the judges with discrete research tasks or anything else that might be helpful for the second half of the day.
At 2pm, we go back into court for another two and a half hours. I have really enjoyed the diversity of the cases on which I have worked. Although my judge’s workload is principally focused on commercial and chancery cases, I am often required to undertake work in unfamiliar areas of civil law. This keeps the job interesting and tests my legal skills across the board.
Once court is over for the day, I return to the JA’s room where those of us who have been in court will debrief. It is always interesting to hear about what others are working on. I also use this time to pick my colleagues’ brains when I find myself struggling with a niche legal problem in an unfamiliar area of law. It helps that this is such a supportive and fun environment in which to work.
For the rest of the day, I complete any other requests the judges may have following the hearing. Aside from that, I work on draft orders for permission to appeal applications, legal research for a different case or generally assist the judge with anything else that has come up.
I usually leave work between 5:30pm and 6:30pm and very rarely, a little later. There is no expectation of taking work home but as we have a lot of control over managing our workload, the role does require flexibility about coming in earlier or leaving a little later, when needed.
I love being a judicial assistant at the Court of Appeal – we are given a high level of responsibility from early on, get to work on some of the most interesting issues coming through the English courts and gain real insight into what makes a barrister effective. If you are considering applying, I would highly recommend it. | <urn:uuid:e321826c-4c32-4e0d-b74f-fa9088cf09a0> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,291 |
A TTY is a device like a typewriter that has a small readout. It is also called a Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD) but that name has been devised by the hearing community and is not accepted by Deaf people, the actual users of TTY technology. They still prefer the term, TTY.
A TTY can be used to send text over the phone. Someone who cannot hear can then use the phone by typing what they want to say and reading what the other party says.
A person using a TTY can converse directly over the phone line with anyone else who is using a TTY (and in some cases with someone who have a computer). A person using a TTY can even converse with someone not using a TTY via relay.
Most TTYs use Baudot and can only connect directly to another TTY or to any phone via relay. Some TTYs can also use ascii, so they can also connect to a computer.
The original TTY was developed by a Deaf man, and it was a sort of confirmation of the saying that "necessity is the Mother of invention".
Simple TTYs just have rubber cups into which the earpiece and speaker of a phone handset can be placed. Since they communicate simply using sounds that represent characters, they can use any phone, except cellphones. Cellphones use various digital and analog technologies to send their signals, so the tone equals character technique is disrupted.
Some newer cellphones do support some newer TTYs.
Extra features on some TTYs include printers, memories, and some are now pocket-sized and battery operated.
There are also incoming only (VCO) devices that use can display text of an incoming TTY call, see the Speak and Read
For the latest information on TTYs, see this Google Search. | <urn:uuid:d6e35697-c656-4a5e-943f-7903d490d12b> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,668 |

“The government is consciously forfeiting future tax revenues. It’s another form of assistance, maybe not as obvious as direct assistance but certainly another form. I’ve been doing taxes for almost 40 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this, where the IRS and Treasury acted unilaterally on so many fronts.”
-Robert Willens, an expert on tax accounting
The ongoing transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top 1% continues unabated.
The Treasury Department, via the IRS, has made a terrible deal with Citigroup for TARP repayment: They repay $20 billion in TARP money, and in exchange we give them keep $38 billion in tax abatements.
The Washington Post has the scoop:
“The federal government quietly agreed to forgo billions of dollars in potential tax payments from Citigroup as part of the deal announced this week to wean the company from the massive taxpayer bailout that helped it survive the financial crisis.
The Internal Revenue Service on Friday issued an exception to long-standing tax rules for the benefit of Citigroup and a few other companies partially owned by the government. As a result, Citigroup will be allowed to retain billions of dollars worth of tax breaks that otherwise would decline in value when the government sells its stake to private investors.
While the Obama administration has said taxpayers are likely to profit from the sale of the Citigroup shares, accounting experts said the lost tax revenue could easily outstrip those profits.
The IRS, an arm of the Treasury Department, has changed a number of rules during the financial crisis to reduce the tax burden on financial firms. The rule changed Friday also was altered last fall by the Bush administration to encourage mergers, letting Wells Fargo cut billions of dollars from its tax bill by buying the ailing Wachovia.”
The looting of the Treasury, begun in panic under George W. Bush, continues in ignorance under Barrack W. Obama.

Studies lead to safer produce
A group of researchers at the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service are developing new technologies to remove or inactivate microbial contaminants from fresh and minimally processed fruit and produce.
Bacteria attach to the surface of fruits and vegetables and form biofilms, which are masses of microbes attached to surfaces and to each other by bacterial polymers. Scientists believe that this polymer coating may help protect bacterial cells from harm when the surface is cleaned using a conventional washing method, such as using chlorine to sanitize produce.
Salmonella attach to inaccessible regions, like crevices, and form biofilms on the surface of cantaloupe rind, allowing the pathogen to avoid contact with the cleaning or sanitizing solution. The health of the consumer can be compromised when these protected Salmonella cells on the surface are transferred to the internal fruit during cutting and that fruit is eaten by the consumer.
To help attach and thrive on the surface of cantaloupe, Salmonella cells produce fimbriae, which are hair-like structures, and cellulose. ARS scientists and scientists at the University of Navarra in Spain have collaborated to examine how the cells form fimbriae and how fimbriae attach to different surfaces.
The studies have already produced results. A commercial-scale surface-pasteurization method recently developed by ARS scientists results in a 5-log (99.999%) reduction in a population of Salmonella poona on the surface of cantaloupe that had been artificially contaminated. Melons are immersed in water at 169°F for 3 min to kill pathogens, then sealed in a plastic bag to prevent recontamination before being cooled in an ice water bath. According to ARS, the method makes the fruit more safe to consume, extends its shelf life, and does not harm its quality.
Monell grows taste cells
Researchers from the Monell Chemical Senses Center, Philadelphia, Pa., have successfully grown mature taste receptor cells outside the body and kept the cells alive for a prolonged period of time. This development may help scientists understand the sense of taste and how it affects nutrition, health, and disease.
Taste receptor cells are located in taste buds on the tongue and in the throat, and they detect sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami taste stimuli. The receptor cells have a short life—about 10–14 days—and are replaced when new taste cells develop from a population of basal cells. Scientists have had difficulties understanding the process of taste-cell differentiation, growth, and turnover because they have been unable to keep taste cells alive outside of the body.
Addressing this problem, Monell researchers took a new approach. Instead of using mature taste cells, the researchers used basal cells from the taste buds of rats. After culturing in a medium of nutrients and growth factors, the cells divided and differentiated into functional taste cells, which were kept alive for up to two months.
The researchers explained that the cultured cells were similar to mature taste cells. The cultured cells have unique marker proteins characteristic of mature taste cells. Just like mature taste cells, the cultured cells responded to either bitter or sweet taste stimuli with increases of intracellular calcium.
One thing researchers hope to gain from studying these cultured cells is insight into how the function of taste cells changes across people’s lifespan. They also hope to help people who have lost their sense of taste.
For information on how ingredients affect taste perception, see "A Changing Perception of Taste Perception" in the November 2004 issue of Food Technology.
Chip can improve citrus
A newly developed chip shows promise in improving citrus varieties. Designed by researchers at University of California at Riverside, the GeneChip® Citrus Genome Array is said to help determine which genes, such as those associated with taste, acid content, and disease, are active in citrus tissue. This information can be used to make improvements to the fruit by allowing researchers to study traits such as nutritional characteristics, flavor components, seedlessness, and easy peeling.
"For a trait posing a problem for the consumer, such as an undesirable flavor, we can identify genes associated with the trait and target these for correction to improve the flavor," said Mikeal Roose, Professor of Genetics, Dept. of Botany and Plant Sciences. "And with this chip we can better understand what happens at the cellular level when oranges are put in cold storage after they are harvested, leading eventually to better methods of storage that improves fruit flavor."
The array consists of a glass wafer onto which about one million pieces of citrus DNA are deposited on a grid or microarray. The glass wafer is encased in a plastic container that is slightly smaller than a credit card.
Researchers using the chip first purify total RNA from plant tissue, make a copy of these molecules with a chemical tag added, and then "wash" the chip with the RNA. When a gene’s corresponding RNA is present and binds to the complementary DNA sequence on the chip, it indicates that the gene is being expressed.
The University of California researchers developed the array in partnership with Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, Calif.
U.S. House passes food bill
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the National Uniformity for Food Act (NUFA), which, if it becomes law, could have significant implications on state and local food safety and food protection laws.
The act amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and will not allow states to continue to enforce or establish labeling requirements that are not identical to federal standards. In the past, states have been allowed to develop labeling requirements that exceed federal standards.
NUFA allows states to petition the federal government for an exemption or to establish a national standard as it pertains to the FFDCA or the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act and to establish a labeling requirement that would differ from the federal standards if the requirement is needed to address an "imminent hazard to health".
The bill passed the House by a vote of 283 to 139 and now moves to the U.S. Senate. For more information about H.R. 4167, visit www.house.gov.
In favor of a single food agency
In the United States, do you think there should be a single government agency in charge of food safety versus the current system involving both the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)? About 78% of the 144 respondents who participated in a December 2005 Food Technology/IFT poll said "Yes, there should be a single agency." The remainder—about 22%—said "No, keep the current USDA and FDA agencies."
One respondent, who favored a single food agency, stated, "While cooperation has increased between the two agencies, the American public and the food industry could benefit from a combined food regulation body. The public simply doesn’t understand that there are differences and they are confused about proper nutrition and food labeling and food law as it is. As an ingredient manufacturer that makes products that are FDA regulated and other products that are USDA regulated, it is challenging to keep up with the differences between laws of the two agencies. We must also remember, though, that we need to keep the functionalities of both agencies—to move to one agency should not be a consolidation process, but a best practices and combining process."
Another theme expressed by several respondents was to put "drugs" under a separate governing body.
USDA initiative to reduce Salmonella
The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service recently announced a comprehensive initiative to reduce the presence of Salmonella in raw meat and poultry products.
The initiative includes concentrating resources at establishments with higher levels of Salmonella and changes the reporting and utilization of FSIS Salmonella verification test results. It is patterned after the FSIS initiative to reduce the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef, which led to a 40% reduction in human illnesses associated with the pathogen, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Comments on the initiative must be received on or before May 30, 2006.

Tetra Pak improves package
Tetra Pak, Lund, Sweden, recently completed the worldwide rollout of a packaging material that it says will help reduce the use of non-renewable resources and energy.
The company states that its Wide packaging material is 30% thinner than previous packaging material, requires fewer polymers to produce, and will help reduce its global consumption of polymers by 50,000 tons/year or about 2,500 shipping containers/year.
"We have already produced over 50 billion packages around the globe with Australia, Brazil, and Japan leading the way," said Günther Lanzinger, Project Director. "And both manufacturers and retailers are reporting better product performance and more cost-effective operations. For instance, a transportation damage test in Brazil showed zero defects out of 9,000 packages transported on rough roads for 1,200 km."
The new packaging material is the standard for carton packages, and all Tetra Pak factories will begin to use it.

Magazine Designer is one of our favorite resources design tips and ideas. This month they posted a great piece on “When and How to Redesign a Magazine” that provides an excellent piece of advice, one that is all too often ignored as we trade what works for what’s new.
“Make sure the reasons for the redesign are the right ones.”
Lately it does seem that redesigns are de rigueur, if seemingly random. Change of key staff, change in circulation, or a change in what the competitors are doing can mean a complete graphic overhaul. And sometimes it seems like a magazine just wants to show off their design skills…because they can.
If your audience or your niche is demanding something new, or you truly feel your magazine and your bottom line will benefit, it might be time.
If you do undertake a new look, make it noticeable by your readers. Be bold, and make all of your changes in one issue rather than dribbling them out bit by bit. Make it count, in other words, or you risk losing any value from your rework.
We like this article for its common sense approach to the process, including ideas on who to include and how to go about the nitty gritty of the redesign project.
While you’re thinking about design, take a look at Mashable’s tilt-shift collection. It might be something you want to try for some stunning imagery that captures the reader’s attention. | <urn:uuid:a66d3aae-7092-4d41-b64a-565f7eb7254c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,363 |

Integrate a Function Using the Secant Case
When the function that you’re integrating includes a term of the form (bx2 – a2)n, draw your trig substitution triangle for the secant case. For example, suppose that you want to evaluate this integral:
This is a secant case, because a multiple of x2 minus a constant is being raised to a power
Integrate using trig substitution as follows:
Draw the trig substitution triangle for the secant case.
The figure shows you how to fill in the triangle for the secant case. Notice that the radical goes on the opposite side of the triangle. Then, to fill in the other two sides of the triangle, use the square roots of the two terms inside the radical — that is, 1 and 4x. Place the constant 1 on the adjacent side and the variable 4x on the hypotenuse.
You can check to make sure that this placement is correct by using the Pythagorean theorem:
Identify the separate pieces of the integral (including dx) that you need to express in terms of theta.
In this case, the function contains two separate pieces that contain x:
Express these pieces in terms of trig functions of theta.
In the secant case, all trig functions should be initially represented as tangents and secants.
To represent the radical portion as a trig function of theta, build a fraction by using the radical
as the numerator, and the constant 1 as the denominator. Then set this fraction equal to the appropriate trig function:
Notice that this fraction is the opposite side of the triangle over the adjacent side
so it equals
Simplifying it a bit gives you this equation:
Next, express dx as a trig function of theta. To do so, build another fraction with the variable x in the numerator and the constant 1 in the denominator:
This time, the fraction is the hypotenuse over the adjacent side of the triangle
Now solve for x and differentiate to find dx:
Express the integral in terms of theta and evaluate it:
Now use the formula for the integral of the secant function:
Change the two theta terms back into x terms:
In this case, you don’t have to find the value of theta because you already know the values of
in terms of x from Step 3. So substitute these two values to get your final answer: | <urn:uuid:8328bd90-7c1e-4934-aef5-d4db4b54e5c0> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,201 |
Rachel was the sexy and powerful CEO of Steele Industries. Secretly she also served as an agent in a vast and mysterious criminal organization. One day she was at her office when the Organization's leader phoned her with an assignment. A costumed crusader called Batgir1 had been wreaking havoc on their various illegal sex-trade operations. To put an end to this as soon as possible, Rachel was to fake her own and act as a distressed captive in need of Batgirl's rescue. This she duly did - with video-footage of the incident then being released to the media. It showed Rachel in a dungeon, seemingly strung-up by the wrists; a ball-gag filled her mouth, and she appeared to be wincing and weeping in torment while a masked man took liberties fondling her. A man's voice went with the footage. It was that of the Organization leader - daring Batgir1 to come to a certain location at a certain time if she wished to save Rachel. The leader added that any failure to turn up would result in the CEO being ravished, beaten and executed. Batgir1 got the message, and responded - superheroine-style. Approaching the exact location mentioned, she sneaked through a wooded area, and came out upon a fortified mansion. She knew she had found the right place. Standing at its entrance was a big, burly guard. Batgirl crept up from one side, and suddenly sprung upon him. A short, intense fight ensued, full of kicks, punches and wrestling moves. The sleek and nimble crime-fighter finally defeated her more cumbersome foe by kneeing him to the head. While he lay senseless on the ground, she hand-cuffed him for good measure. Batgir1then entered the mansion. Having passed unnaccosted through a series of rock-hewn tunnels, she eventually found Rachel in her dungeon. She was still strung up, and she looked weak and dazed. The dungeon itself was unguarded; the door unlocked. Hurriedly, Batgirl stepped inside. Speaking compassionately to Rachel, she helped her out of her bonds, and provided a steadying arm of support as she began leading her out of the mansion. However, while Batgir1 walked slightly ahead down a corridor, Rachel suddenly took a -soaked cloth from her pocket and clamped it over her mouth from behind. The superheroine tensed and yelped in surprise. But all too soon she was overcome by fumes. Following a feeble struggle, she went limp in Rachel's arms, and sunk to the floor. It was a long time until Batgirl came around. By then she was in a sumptuous bedroom - blindfolded, gagged, and strung up by the wrists - just as Rachel had been earlier. Rachel herself stood nearby, looking on with wicked amusement. She now wore fishnet stockings, and a PVC corset and elbow-length gloves. In its tightness and scantiness, the outfit showed off her shapely body to perfection. Trapping Batgir1 had been only half of her assignment. Now came the fun part of breaking her down and brainwashing her into becoming a loyal member of the Organization. Rachel's preferred method for achieving this was to subject Batgir1 to all manner of sexual humiliation. And she did not waste a moment going about it. To begin with she checked out the frightened and struggling superheroine's body - caressing her lycra-clad butt, and unzipping the front of her suit to expose her pert breasts and pantiless pussy. Rachel was very pleased with all that she saw and touched. Her captive was a fine, smooth-skinned, nubile hottie. Presently, she called in one of the Organization's best henchmen. Having invited the masked brute to paw and manhandle Batgir1, Rachel took her cape from her, and donned it mockingly. From there on in it was one constant, ever-worsening nightmare of degradation for Batgir1. First Rachel laughingly lashed her firm butt over and again with a whip, making the helpless crusader sob and writhe. Then the henchman sucked on her breasts and fingered her pussy at the same time. Later, the pair made her get down on her hands and knees with her butt raised high in the air. The henchman moved in behind and started fucking her hard and deep doggy style. Witnessing this, it occurred to Rachel that Batgir1 was actually a virgin. This made the CEO enjoy things all the more. While the young crusader moaned at each invading stroke of the henchman's big thick cock, Rachel stood nearby, taunting her mercilessly. She rubbed in the fact of Batgir1's chastity being ravished, and revealed that the Organization might eventually hire her out as a sex-slave to all-comers once she had been broken in by the henchman. That same henchman duly came - blowing a huge creamy load inside and outside her defenseless pussy. Batgir1's cries of horror were cut short, however, as Rachel suddenly produced a needle and injected her in the neck. Immediately rest came to the young crusader. The next day, Batgir1 could be seen huddled in a tiny cage. Her lycra suit was gone; all she wore was her mask, gloves, boots and some skimpy panties. Around her neck was a decorative collar with a leash attached. Approaching with the henchman, Rachel took hold of the leash and teasingly referred to Batgir1 as her pet *kitten*. She then invited the henchman to have some fun with the captive - thereby giving her another dose of will-breaking humiliation. Batgirl had no wish to cooperate. She grudgingly stroked the henchmanââ¬â¢s big cock a few a times, then lashed out at him. It did not do her any good. Rachel merely gave her another injection. This one was to make Batgir1 more obedient. Itââ¬â¢s effectiveness was such that the feisty crusader soon had her lips wrapped around the henchmanââ¬â¢s cock. She had sucked away on it for a long while in a dazed but contented manner until the henchman climaxed - filling her mouth to overflowing with his hot, milky cum. Still highly vulnerable to suggestion, Batgir1 followed Rachelââ¬â¢s mischievous command to every last drop of it. She then drifted off to rest. Here Rachel peaked under her mask and discovered that she was Barbara Horton - the police commissionerââ¬â¢s daughter! The fun just kept on coming. A week later and Batgir1 was sat in Rachelââ¬â¢s office, still wearing her collar and leash, and now weeping hard. She had just been forced to watch footage from one of the numerous depraved fuck-sessions she had suffered since her capture. When it was over, Rachel turned to her smiling. She then made her threat. If Batgir1 did not fully submit to the will of the Organization, the footage would be leaked to the public. Batgirlââ¬â¢s true identity would be known, and her commissioner father would be ruined by scandal and shame. This was enough to end the young crusaderââ¬â¢s resistance one and for all. After breaking down and sobbing in Rachelââ¬â¢s arms, she agreed to a last, loyalty-proving sex-act with a henchman. A short while later, things were underway. The henchman man started out holding Batgir1 by her leash and running his eyes appraisingly over her fish-net-clad body. He then played with her naked pussy for a while before getting her to kneel and suck his cock. With her mask removed, Batgi1ââ¬â¢s facial expressions were clear to see. There was hint of reluctance in her eyes, but her body cooperated swiftly and fully. For a long time she licked and lapped and sucked and deep-throated to the best of her abilities and with as much enthusiasm as she could muster. Rachel watched this and all that followed with a big grin on her face. She thoroughly enjoyed seeing the once-innocent and upright virgin now behaving so lustfully. After all the tremendous sucking action, Batgirl wound up lying on the floor with her legs parted - showing off her pussy to the henchman. He savored the sight of it for a moment, then climbed on top of her and started fucking away missionary style. It turned out to be intensely pleasurable for both Batgir1 and himself. She gasped and moaned and panted as her inexperienced pussy got a deep, smooth pounding; in the meantime, he groaned at the sweet, hot, tightness of around his cock. Rachel, looking on closely, teased Batgir1 some more during this. But Batgir1 no longer felt ashamed or put off. Her last inhibitions were gone, and had finally learned to accept being a wanton. More pleasant fucking later, the henchman came. Batgir1 readily opened her mouth and brought it close to his spurting cock head so that she catch plenty of it to taste and swallow. Afterwards, a delighted Rachel gave Batgirl her mask back and declared her one of the Organization. At last her brainwashing had been achieved. Far from having to contend with her foiling their criminal operations, they could not look to having her help in them. A month later, Rachel had made Batgir1 yet more decadent and obedient. The scene was Rachelââ¬â¢s place. There she was led back on a rug with her legs parted. She sighed with pleasure - for there was Batgirl, knelt lapping eagerly her naked pussy. The young crusader had become a very good pet indeed. | <urn:uuid:39e8ce0d-1f5f-400c-bb9b-d10d33263a84> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 8,949 |

I lived in KK for 7 years before moving to Miri. KK has a special place in my heart. It is hard for me to describe what feeling it was every time i was there for a short visit. I found myself loving the city more and more everytime I went back. It is a big city but not the largest in the country. It's famous for its beautiful islands and Mount Kinabalu. I spent my childhood there and I have many friends there. Actually, this time before i went to KK, I didn't feel like going at all. I was so sick of flying. But I promised my dad that i would go for a visit during the Hari Raya (Malay new year) holidays and Leighton hadn't been to KK before, so I forced myself to get on the plane once more. I am happy to say that after this visit, I am sure that if I ever come back to stay in Malaysia, this would be the place that I would choose to settle down with my family.
During this trip, Leighton and I went up to Mount Kinabalu park. Mount Kinabalu is the tallest mountain in South East asia and is about 4000m high. Apart from that, we went to Manukan island where we went snorkling and parasailing. The island is a good place to retreat to from a stressful job and we found peace and bliss close to the nature. It also brought back all the good memories we have in Hawaii. | <urn:uuid:2f53bfcf-1ad9-46d8-bc4c-3bd75b575f18> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,276 |

There are very distinct, but controversial justices and injustices in Frankenstein. While some may think that a justice is being served, other may look at the action as an injustice. Be prepared to disagree with my own subjective interpretations of the justices from the novel.
In regard to the justices in the novel, I believe that they fall into one distinct category: that of "an eye for an eye". Therefore, many of the justices stem as reactions from others' actions.
First, the Victor decides to create life as part of a reaction to his thoughts that the scientific community was being unjust in regard to study. He did not think that his school's theology focused enough on the right sciences.
After creating the Monster, Victor fled. He could not face the fact that his monster was so hideous. Because of feeling abandoned, the Monster felt the need to find justice in his treatment. Therefore, once Victor refused to help him, the Monster had no choice but to change his mind. The Monster believed that Victor did him an injustice by abandoning him; he felt the need to combat this injustice by murdering those close to Victor in retaliation.
The execution of Justine shows a true injustice. Here, she is charged with the murder of William (Victor's brother). In reality, she did not kill William; the Monster did. This is one true injustice seen in the novel.
Many will argue the fact that the greatest injustice in the novel is the creation of the Monster. Man should not have the ultimate power over the creation of life. Therefore, some may consider Victor's creation of life as an injustice shown to women. Victor is taking away the one role assigned to women in the world- giving birth.

+ Public Service: Get SET for the ARRL Simulated Emergency Test
Simulated ARRL's Simulated Emergency Test (SET) is October 1 and 2, 2011. This nationwide exercise is the chance to test your emergency operating skills and the readiness of your communications equipment and accessories in an emergency-like deployment. ARRL Field Organization Leaders at the Section and local levels -- along with many other volunteers who are active in public service and emergency communications -- are developing emergency-like scenarios in consultation with a variety of agencies for whom radio amateurs are known to provide service during emergencies.
To find out how you can step up and be a part of the local or Section-level activities, contact your Section Manager. You can find contact information for all 71 ARRL Section Managers on page 16 of any issue of QST. Additional contact information may also be found on the ARRL website. The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®), the National Traffic System (NTS), the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) and members of the ARRL Field Organization will participate and practice emergency operation plans, nets and procedures.

+ Propagation News: Stanford University Researchers Announce Sunspot Breakthrough
Imagine forecasting a hurricane in Miami weeks before the storm was even a swirl of clouds off the coast of Africa -- or predicting a tornado in Kansas from the flutter of a butterfly's wing in Texas. These are the kind of forecasts meteorologists can only dream about. Could the dream come true? A new study by Stanford University researchers suggests that such forecasts may one day be possible -- not on Earth, but on the Sun. In the August 19 issue of Science, Stathis Ilonidis, together with co-workers Junwei Zhao and Alexander Kosovichev, announced that they can see some sunspots while they are still submerged, before they are visible to the naked eye. "This could lead to significant advances in space weather forecasting," Ilondis said.
Most Amateur Radio operators are aware of sunspots, those dark blemishes on the surface of the Sun. This is because sunspots influence propagation. They can be a boon to hams interested in HF propagation, as sunspots are the sites of ultraviolet or extreme ultraviolet radiation that creates our ionosphere. But sunspots can also be destructive. They are the source for disturbances, such as flares and the roots of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can hinder propagation. When a CME hits the Earth's atmosphere, the low bands will be depressed and signals will be weaker the lower the frequency. The absorption rate will be most severe on 160 meters, less on 80 and somewhat better on 40 meters. The maximum usable frequency (MUF) -- the highest frequency by which a radio wave can propagate between given terminals by ionospheric propagation alone, independent of power -- will be lower and auroral propagation on the VHF bands is quite possible.

+ Check Out the October Issue of QST
The October issue of QST is jam-packed with all sorts of things that today's Amateur Radio operator needs. In this issue -- our annual DX issue -- you'll discover both technical and feature articles to get you in the mood for hunting down that rare DX. And just like every issue of QST, you will find something to pique your Amateur Radio interests.
A receive antenna can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of those weak, distant stations. Some transceivers don't include the capability to use separate antennas for both receiving and transmitting. In his article "A Receive-Only Antenna Adapter," Gerald Fasse, W8GF, offers a simple schematic for an adapter you can build that will add functionality to your shack. Joe Ostrowski, KI5FJ, shows how you can reduce transmission line loss by matching your antenna at the antenna feed point. In his article "A Remote Impedance Matching Network," he presents a simple to use -- and easy to build -- network that doesn't have to use microprocessors or relays to switch RF components.
In the October 2010 issue of QST, Cezar Trifu, VE3LYC, told his nail-biting account of being stranded on an uninhabited island in the Canadian arctic. Now for October 2011, Trifu describes his memorable DXpedition to the islands of the southern tip of South America in his article "CE9 DXpedition to the Tip of South America." Sean Patrick Doran, W8OKN, now knows that the ARRL's Logbook of The World is the best way to track his progress toward the DXCC and WAS awards. Read about his Eureka! moment in his article "LoTW: Like Taking Your QSLs to the Bank."
Have you ever gone to a movie and saw ham radio gear up on the big screen and wondered just how it got there? ARRL News Editor S. Khrystyne Keane, K1SFA, did when she went to see Mr Popper's Penguins over the summer. She tracked down the owner of the ham gear featured in the movie and tells of its journey from shack to screen in "Ham Radio 'Pops' on the Big Screen." Keane also presents all the details from the ARRL Board of Directors 2011 Second Meeting in "ARRL Board of Directors Looks to 2014 -- and Beyond."
NCJ Managing Editor Rick Lindquist, WW3DE, takes a look at the ICOM IC-7410 HF and 6 meter transceiver in this month's Product Review. He says that this rig "replaces the IC-746PRO and adds an improved receiver, much faster DSP performance and new features to the mix, but drops 2 meter coverage. Although the new radio does a lot, the 7410 user interface will be familiar to users of current ICOM radios." QST Technical Editor Joel Hallas, W1ZR, checks out the Coaxial Dynamics Model 81041 USB wattmeter: "This is a very nice wattmeter with some extra features that you are likely to appreciate. It does not offer the absolute accuracy of more recent instruments, but will be familiar and handy to many. The provided PC software is useful, but we hope that more will come."
Of course, there are the usual columns you know and expect in the October QST: Happenings, Hints & Kinks, The Doctor Is IN, How's DX, Vintage Radio and more.

ARRL In Action: What Have We Been Up to Lately?
This feature is a concise monthly update of some of the things that the ARRL is doing on behalf of its members. This installment -- which covers the month of August -- takes a look at how the ARRL HQ Emergency Response Team helped monitor various nets and provide support to the affected Field Organizations from W1AW, the upcoming Director elections in the Atlantic, Delta and Midwest Divisions, helping to solve interference problems on 60 meters, filing comments with the FCC, reports from the Official Observer Desk and more.

+ Report Calls on NASA to Hire More Astronauts
Even as the space shuttle era has come to a close, a NASA-commissioned report says the space agency needs to hire more astronauts to maintain its presence on the International Space Station and prepare for the next generation of spaceflight. The report warns that "the Astronaut Corps appears to be sized below the minimum required" and that the current corps size "poses a risk to the US investment in human spaceflight capabilities." NASA commissioned the report from the National Research Council, part of the National Academy of Sciences, to examine the agency's astronaut and astronaut training needs in the post-shuttle era. NASA Spokesman Michael Curie said that the report "offers helpful advice about the appropriate size of our astronaut corps as we enter this exciting new era of space exploration and crew transport operations." Beginning in November 1983 with Owen Garriott, W5LFL, on board STS-9, Amateur Radio has been an integral part of NASA missions in space. More than 100 NASA astronauts have received their Amateur Radio license. Read more here.
+ On the Air: DX0DX Spratly DXpedition "Permanently Cancelled"
After numerous setbacks, Chris Dimitrijevic, VK3FY, announced on the DX0DX website that the planned 2012 DX0DX DXpedition to the Spratly Islands has been "permanently cancelled." No explanation was given for the cancellation and Dimitrijevic did not respond to e-mails from the ARRL. Spratly currently sits at #32 on DX Magazine's "Most Wanted" List.
The DX0DX Spratly DXpedition had been postponed at least twice. It was first supposed to happen in January 2011, and then it was delayed until April. According to Dimitrijevic, the postponement to April 2011 was "due to circumstances beyond the control of the DX0DX Team and in the best interests of the Team of Operators." On April 10, 2011, Dimitrijevic sent out a notice that said that 10 of the original 37 operators of the planned 2011 DX0DX DXpedition indicated that they will return in April 2012, but that will not be happening.
In April 2012, however, another group is planning a DXpedition to the Spratly Islands. According to the September 4 edition of the Ohio/Penn DX Association's bulletin, members of the Malaysian Amateur Radio Transmitter Society (MARTS) are planning a "2012 Project" to activate Pulau Layang Layang (AS-051) in the Spratlys during the first two weeks of the month. The team leader is C.L. Neoh, 9M2CLN, with support by Tack Kumagai, JE1CKA, and the 9M4SDX Team. The DXpedition coordinator is Tex Izumo, 9M2TO. MARTS is Malaysia's IARU Member-Society.

News: Deployed service members celebrate Black History Month
Story by Sgt. Antony Lee
KANDAHAR AIR FIELD, Afghanistan – By the time the American Civil War ended in 1865, almost 200,000 African-American service members had fought for the Union. Nearly 40,000 died fighting for freedom.
Henry Ossian Flipper was the first African-American to graduate from the United States Military Academy. Benjamin O. Davis, Sr. was the first African-American general in the U.S. Army.
Deployed service members at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan, honored these past African-American service members as well as other notable African-Americans in U.S. history as they celebrated Black History Month during a luncheon at the KAF Fest Tent, Feb. 27, 2014.
Sgt. Maj. Carolyn Y. Donaldson of the 82nd Sustainment Brigade-U.S. Central Command Materiel Recovery Element gave a speech during the event – a powerful one that drew a standing ovation from the attendants. She noted that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“During the 1950s and 1960s, when racial tension and ignorance was paramount throughout our country, individuals like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Linda Brown, Thurgood Marshall, Edgar Nixon, and Medgar Evers became icons and leaders for racial equality,” she said. “These great men and women, plus countless more, led the civil rights movement in a peaceful manner, hand-in hand with black and white civilians, with no record of imminent danger.”
Three specialists with the South Carolina National Guard’s 1223rd Engineer Company who attended the luncheon shared their thoughts on the importance of Black History Month and what it meant to them personally.
Spc. Kenyeta Mazyck, a carpentry and masonry specialist, said that he sees Black History Month as “a time to remember fellow black Americans throughout history who helped make a change.”
Spc. Anthony Neal, also a carpentry and mason specialist, said, “Black History Month is important to me because it’s celebrating the heritage and achievements of African-American people and people of color who paved the way for me to be where I am today.”
Spc. Henry Chisolm said that Black History Month “means a lot” to him and added that the luncheon was an excellent way to observe black history.
A slide presentation during the event reminded attendants of African-Americans who made history and helped pave the way for the nation. Sojourner Truth, an abolitionist who also fought for women’s rights, and Jesse Owens, a legendary athlete who won four gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics, were among the African-American pioneers honored in the slide presentation presented by Sgt. Ron Mohone, a chaplain assistant with the 207th Regional Support Group. Mohone also led the attendants in singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” as the luncheon came to an end.
Capt. James Duwor, chaplain of 2nd Cavalry Regiment’s 4th Squadron, said that 40 years ago, an event like this would have been unlikely.
“I just think it’s wonderful that all people can come together to celebrate what has been accomplished and what remains to be accomplished,” he said.
The event – and Black History Month as a whole – was perhaps best summed up by Donaldson as she concluded her keynote speech.
“So today, I celebrate my heritage by paying homage to all African-Americans who helped shape, mold and influence our great society that we live in today. Their legacy is echoed by the sacrifices made and their fight for equality is simply justified by our very own Preamble to the Constitution: We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” | <urn:uuid:f52a9d32-dde1-49d4-9445-24a6547f1f2e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,836 |

Find the original PDF file (including proper citation) at the end of this article.
The COVID-19 pandemic has overwhelmingly affected almost every aspect of public life. As the predominant topic in 2020, its impact has gone way beyond directly related fields such as public health. That includes long-term economic deficits, human and civil rights concerns, far-reaching injustice, and even domestic violence and abuse. All these effects can to a considerable extent be traced back to policies, and therefore to the politics behind them.
Throughout the pandemic, policymakers around the world have constantly had to evaluate the risk posed by the virus and adjust their weighty responses accordingly. In many democracies worldwide, this evaluation and response are often influenced by partisan prejudice, ideology, agenda, and political culture.
The pandemic and everything that came with it, however, have caused new impulses on politics and political cultures in systems across the world. In this essay, I will be examining those effects divided into various aspects and mostly on the specific example of the United States.
About the COVID-19 pandemic
In late 2019, the first cases of a new virus were identified in the city of Wuhan in the Chinese Hubei Province. This novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) and COVID-19, the disease associated with the virus, have since spread rapidly throughout the world.
Small droplets from the nose or mouth are the primary mode of transmission. The droplets are expelled when speaking, sneezing, or coughing, and they can be caught when standing too close to an infected person expelling droplets, or by touching objects and surfaces with droplets on it and then touching the face.
According to the World Health Organization, the most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. However, a wide range of other symptoms can also occur. In most cases, the symptoms are mild, and about 80% of the infected recover from COVID-19 without needing to be hospitalized. Serious cases however lead to breathing difficulties and require immediate medical attention. While everyone can develop serious illness when infected with the disease, older people and patients with certain pre-existing medical conditions are at higher risk.
|Country||Confirmed Cases||Deaths||Case fatality rate|
SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly spread around the world since its first outbreak in December 2019. As seen in Table 1, there have been about 29.3 million cases around the world which shows the scale of the pandemic.
The pandemic started with only a few cases in the Wuhan area and then spread gradually in the world. The first cases outside mainland China were identified around January 20, 2020. The virus is relatively easily transmitted from human to human. It has therefore spread quickly and resulted in many deaths, as seen in Figure 1. Due to the nature of transmitted diseases, the virus spreads significantly faster the more people are infected. However, it must be noted that the majority of the confirmed cases have recovered by now and are not active anymore. Most countries have also drastically increased the number of tests they conduct, so more actual cases were not identified earlier in the pandemic than now.
Testing people who show symptoms of COVID-19 or had been exposed to a high risk of catching the virus are the core part for monitoring the pandemic and for setting countermeasures. Governments around the world have chosen different approaches to respond to the pandemic, both in the early phases and now. Basic measures to prevent the virus from spreading are mandating to keep a physical distance of about 1.5 meters or 6 feet from one another, to ban large gatherings, and to reduce social contact to as few people outside the own household as possible. Most governments require people to wear masks covering their nose and mouth serving as a physical barrier for droplets. Mask mandates can reach from essentially only in mass transit vehicles in Denmark, to all publicly accessible crowded or indoor places in German states like Berlin, and up to everywhere outside one’s residence in Spain and some areas in the U.S. such as the District of Columbia. Stricter measures to contain the virus are lockdowns in different forms, for example, stay-at-home orders as seen in the U.S. state of Califonia, or a nationwide quarantine like in Italy.
The situation in the United States
The United States has more than ever been divided into “red and blue” — supporters of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. The election of President Donald Trump in 2016 has upset liberals and moderates because of his drastic nationalist proposals, his anti-feminist, racist, anti-media stance, and his divisive, authoritarian rhetoric. These factors have started in his presidential bid but have been continuing throughout his presidency. The division of the American people seems to be constantly climaxing for approximately a year now. Starting with the impeachment trial Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have initiated in late 2019 and having transitioned right into the 2020 presidential campaigns of the Republican incumbent President Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Both candidates have harshly criticized the other’s personality and political stances and therefore fueled the division. The Trump administration is being accused of trying to rig the 2020 general election and to precautionary denounce its outcome at the same time.
Naturally, infectious diseases spread faster in more densely populated areas, where it is harder to keep a physical distance. These areas are more likely to be hit first by such diseases since a large proportion of international traveling concentrates in large cities. In the United States, the areas that have been hit hardest at the beginning – namely King County, WA, and later New York, NY – are major U.S. cities and centers of international traveling and business. The majority of both states – Washington and New York – traditionally leans towards Democrats in elections. Both states have Democratic governors — they are so-called Blue States, referring to the blue color that represents the Democratic Party. The same applies to the state of California that is currently the state with the most confirmed COVID-19 cases.
President Donald Trump has started campaigning for his presidential re-election bid even before the pandemic hit the United States. The president is known to make use of a rhetoric that harshly criticizes and blames his political opponents, even for matters that lie in the responsibility of the federal government. When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have had difficulties establishing a sufficient testing infrastructure early in the pandemic, the president blamed the administration of his predecessor Barack Obama even though Donald Trump had been in office for three years already. It would have been impossible for former president Obama to set up a testing system for a disease that was not even known back in his presidency.
Following the outbreaks, U.S. states established rules and restrictions to contain the virus. The federal government pushed towards loosening the restrictions and reopening the economy. In that context, the president tweeted a series of calls to “liberate” Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia — states with Democratic governors who have imposed strict social distancing rules. These calls are vague but the least that should be interpreted into them is a try to expose Democratic governors who – in his opinion – deprive Americans of their freedom rather than protecting public health interests. However, extremist groups have understood the president’s tweets as a call to armed protests against state restrictions.
The divisive rhetoric and partisan stance are not exclusive to the president. The pandemic has brought up a wide range of topics that require quick action from lawmakers. Due to unprecedented employment shortages in the past few months in the U.S., one of them is economic relief. A core piece of the American stimulus plan has been the Economic Impact Payments. Besides other aids, a one-time $1,200 stimulus check for Americans was passed in late March 2020. The U.S. Congress has since debated a second stimulus package but has not yet passed either one of the proposals. Republicans intend to keep the package small whereas Democrats demand significantly higher relief spendings. With many Americans unemployed and desperate for economic relief, President Trump now urged Republican lawmakers to pass a much more comprehensive stimulus package proposal while calling Democrats “heartless” and essentially blaming them for delaying and blocking relief for Americans. Republicans use this rhetoric for their own political gain to appeal to Americans desperate for government support.
Above these specific examples of partisanship being divisive in the U.S. are the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Joe Biden as well as campaigns of candidates for Congress, state legislatures, and other political offices. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has enormous impacts on most aspects of life and is a present topic on all levels, different approaches concerning the pandemic serve as major platforms for candidates for offices from school board officials to President of the United States. As Americans are exposed to campaigns for highly polarizing elections on all levels, fighting about how the pandemic needs to be approached and attacking each other, they are being more divided than in a regular election year.
The pandemic and the politicization of the matter have led to Americans even more than typically divided into the two political sides most present in the United States. The divisive rhetoric of the president and the current campaign set the tone. Popular news media such as MSNBC on the left or Fox News on the right further support this polarization by rather biased editorial practice.
War on Science
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only divided the American people further regarding partisan politics. Looking at how the proposed approaches and publicly stated views on the pandemic differ between Democrats and Republicans – and especially between Donald Trump and Joe Biden – it is quite obvious what the underlying strategies are.
President Trump has repeatedly stated false, misleading, or unproven claims regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
In February, the president suggested the virus would disappear, that it would go away like a miracle. He was downplaying the severity of the disease dramatically with this statement, implying any action to contain the virus would be optional as it would disappear either way. He knowingly conveyed a wrong impression of the virus.
Regarding medication, the president publicly stated multiple ideas for medicine that prevents or cures the disease. The most prominent one is the malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine: the president repeatedly defended the effectiveness of the drug in COVID-19 treatment for months. He claimed that he would personally take it. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus task force, has denied that there was any scientific proof of the effectiveness of the medication against COVID-19. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration later published a warning to not use the drug to treat COVID-19 patients as serious health problems were reported.
In June, when the U.S. has already been the country with most confirmed cases, the president has indicated that there would only be so many COVID-19 cases because of the administration’s testing strategy that Donald Trump described as “the greatest testing machine in history.” He claimed that the extensive testing strategy would make the U.S. “look bad” and labeled testing as “overrated” — “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, actually.” Although reducing the testing capacity would lead to a lower number of confirmed cases, it would not lead to fewer actual cases. Testing is a core element to monitor the course of the pandemic, to adjust hospitalization and treatment capacity, and to evaluate the effectiveness and proportionality of measures.
A very recent discovery has been made with the release of recordings of private interviews that the investigative journalist Bob Woodward conducted with President Trump throughout the past months. The tapes revealed that the president has been fully aware of the danger and deadliness the virus posed when he publicly emphasized that the pandemic would end in no time. “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic,” said the president in the private interview with Bob Woodward on March 19, 2020.
This shows that the president would much rather knowingly, repeatedly lie and endanger the state of public health in the United States than publicly telling an inconvenient truth that his supporters may not like. Instead of respecting science and listening to the administration’s infectious disease experts and public health officials, President Trump simply takes a different standpoint and argues with no proof at all against scientists on their area of expertise.
His strategy did not work, there is no secured vaccine available yet, and Trump cannot back off from his stance because it has been politicized in the electoral campaigns. The Biden-Harris campaign proposes a pro-science plan, including evidence-based national guidance, a nationwide mask mandate, and establishing further testing sites. It stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump’s approach. Even if Joe Biden would win the presidential election on November 3, 2020, Donald Trump signaled his supporters that science might not be the only truth. What the president says matters.
As governments around the world – including the U.S. federal and state governments – tightened COVID-19 preventive measures, announced mask mandates, stay-at-home orders, et cetera, first conspiracy theories came around.
Some of the most shared conspiracy theories about COVID-19 feature Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The private foundation focuses – among other topics – on enhancing healthcare around the world. Because the foundation is a major player in global public health projects such as vaccine research, and Gates publicly predicted a massive pandemic a few years ago, many conspiracies are about him or the foundation. Most prominently, he is being accused of wanting microchip implants and of having tested vaccines in Africa and India that killed thousands of children.
The conspiracy group QAnon believes in a deep state with a group of elite leaders that secretly control the world. The conspiracy theory has quickly spread and became a catch-all conspiracy that merged with several other conspiracy theories. QAnon supporters believe that the pandemic is a Chinese bioweapon with the support of the Democratic Party to stop the president’s presidency by destroying the American economy, or that the pandemic is not actually as dangerous and deadly as officials say.
The fact that conspiracy theories like these two examples, theories with no evidence at all, could rise so rapidly, shows not only the effect of fake news and disinformation on social media. It also shows the effect of a U.S. government that does not side with science and evidence but instead sets an example for people to believe that everything can be true.
A partisan political landscape in the United States, a president who knowingly lies and does not rely on science, and many vague and unproven conspiracy theories — none of these factors are new. But the pandemic still had an extraordinary impact on how they manifest. There have only been few situations of comparable urgency and severity in recent history. The pandemic has shown how world leaders, how countries, how people responded to and coped with such an utterly serious situation.
So, what is the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has created on politics and the political culture in the United States?
For some Americans, it has reduced trust in science. For others, it has further reduced the confidence in President Trump and the Republican Party. It has divided an already divided nation even further, in a time when it needed mutual support and solidarity more than ever. It has shown what distrust towards science can lead to. It has highlighted what the problems with President Trump and his administration are.

These divrei Torah were adapted from the hashkafa portion of Rabbi Yissocher Frand’s Commuter Chavrusah Tapes on the weekly portion: Tape # 211, Animal Experimentation. Good Shabbos!
Rash”i’s Comment About the Raven Is Not ‘One for the Birds’
Towards the end of the flood Noach sent out a raven to see whether the waters had subsided. However, the raven circled the ark and did not fulfill his mission of seeking dry land [Bereshis 8:7]. Rash”i informs us (based on Sanhedrin 108b) that the raven suspected Noach of having “improper intentions” towards its mate. The raven felt it had to keep an eye on the situation and therefore just circled the ark so that Noach would not steal his wife.
I heard a true story on a tape from Rav Wolfson, who is a faculty member at the Ohr Somayach Yeshiva in Israel. Rav Wolfson met a student who had just started learning in Ohr Somayach and was a Chozer B’Teshuvah [a recent returnee to studying and practicing Judaism]. Rav Wolfson asked the student what material he was learning and how he was doing. The student replied that he was learning Chumash with Rash”i and everything was fine — except for one Rash”i that he found to be ‘ridiculous’.
Rav Wolfson asked, “which Rash”i is that?” The student pointed to the Rash”i quoted above and labeled Rash”i’s comment “patently ridiculous!”
At best, this seems to be a strange Rash”i. Rav Wolfson, however, gave the student a beautiful answer:
The trouble is that we fail to appreciate the distinction between Halacha [legal texts] and Aggadah [homiletic texts]. The latter are written in a different style. The words may be the same words, but, in fact, they are written in code. In order to understand what our Rabbis mean in Aggadah, one requires the ‘keys’ to interpret the code. Chazal [Our Sages] are not teaching us something about ravens here. Chazal are teaching us about human beings. In the context of the world of Aggadah, they used the raven.
Of course the raven’s fear was ridiculous! But why did the raven have such a ridiculous thought? Because the raven was paranoid! When one is paranoid, one thinks the most ludicrous and ridiculous things in the world. Certainly the raven was crazy. But, when a general picks a soldier to go on a risky spy mission, the soldier can think one of two things: (A) The general picked me because I am the bravest, the smartest, the fastest; or (B) The general picked me because he wants to get rid of me. Someone who is paranoid can come up with the most unbelievable theories in the world.
This is not only true with ravens. Has it ever happened that we are attending a wedding or other occasion and we see two people talking to each other at the side of the room — and as we approach, they stop talking? What is our reaction? “They must have been talking about me. That is why they stopped. I wonder what they were saying. What did I ever do to them?”
These are paranoid thoughts. Really they were just gossiping about someone else. They were embarrassed to have someone hear them gossiping, so when the person came over, they stopped. This is the logical explanation. But one who is paranoid can come up with the most ludicrous of theories.
People are paranoid and think in these terms because they are egocentric. They think that everybody is talking about them, as if those people have nothing better to do with their time. A person whose world revolves only around himself is bound to think like that. Such a person can only view the world in his own terms.
We tend to analyze the actions or reactions of other people in terms of ourselves. (Why did that person in the supermarket answer me so coldly? Why is he angry with me? What did I do to him?) In fact, the reactions of others are best explained in terms that are related solely to themselves. (He is upset because he just had a fight with his wife or boss or any of fifty other reasons. The most unlikely reason in the world is related to the person who he answered coldly.)
Someone once told me that until age 20 (for any of us who have teenage children, we know this to be the honest truth,) one is totally preoccupied with what others think of him of her. From age 20 to 40, when one’s ego is more developed, one’s attitude becomes “I don’t care what they say about me. Let them say whatever they want about me. I am my own person — I’ll dress the way I want, I’ll drive the way I want, I’ll look the way I want, I am going to do what I want.”
Sometime after age 40 — I do not know exactly when — a person realizes that people are not thinking about him at all. “I don’t occupy such an important place in everyone else’s world. People don’t even care how I dress or look or what I drive or what I say.”
If we can take the focus off ourselves, we will be less paranoid and less compulsive and less concerned about what others say. We can then become more interested in improving our own world.

A coalition of Arizona voters has filed suit to disqualify Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Briggs from the ballot for participating in the insurrection.
The New York Times reported:
In three separate candidacy challenges filed in Superior Court in Maricopa County, Ariz., voters and the progressive group, Free Speech for People, targeted Representatives Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs and State Representative Mark Finchem, who is running for Arizona secretary of state with former President Donald J. Trump’s endorsement.
In all three suits, the plaintiffs claim that the politicians are disqualified from seeking office because their support for rioters who attacked the Capitol made them “insurrectionists” under the Constitution and therefore barred them under the little-known third section of the 14th Amendment, adopted during Reconstruction to punish members of the Confederacy.
Gosar is open about his support for white supremacists, was kicked off of his committee assignments for posting a video threatening to kill Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and has been widely reported along with Rep. Briggs as one of the House participants in Donald Trump’s attempted coup.
One gets the sense that these lawsuits would have better odds of success if they were filed after the 1/6 Committee issues their report. It is understandable while they are being filed now because time is of the essence, but if the plaintiffs had more evidence of coup participation, it would help their chances of a favorable ruling.
The lawsuits are important because they are a way to ensure that voters won’t forget that Republicans who are on the ballot and seeking majority power in November tried to overthrow the government.

Secure your weekend today with just a £40 deposit for the whole group.
Although you might be tempted to sit yourselves in the Blue Lagoon and bask like seals for the remainder of the weekend, the stunning Icelandic landscape puts up a good argument for leaving the spa and venturing out into the snow. With GoHen's array of Reykjavik hen ideas, we've got activities to suit all groups from the incredibly intense to the spectacularly serene. Or you could just soak in the Blue Lagoon, after all, there's no shame in spending the weekend taking in the waters at one of the most beautiful geothermal spas in the world.
Reykjavik is a pretty city, sure, but the surrounding area is frankly nothing short of phenomenal. If you want to get out of the city and see some of the most striking landscape in the world, we've got a range of Reykjavik hen activities that will let you do just that as well as end up with some pretty cool photos for the Facebook album. Snowmobiling takes you out to some of the most amazing glaciers in Iceland, in search of the best views in the country. You'll see (and snowmobile over) massive glaciers, volcanic craters, and black sand beaches, seeing all of Iceland's most impressive scenery in one unforgettable ride. If you'd rather see the local fauna than flora, whale watching might be the better choice for you and the girls. There are Minke, Humpback, Fin and Sei whales to be spied, as well as dolphins, porpoises, and a lot of seabirds too, all in their natural habitat. All we've ever seen in Britain's seas is seaweed and the occasional seagull. To see all of Iceland's most striking and incredible natural wonders, though, it has to be the Golden Circle Tour. This 10-hour trip will take you to one of Iceland's biggest waterfalls, explosive hot springs, dormant volcanoes, and towering glaciers as well as to a literal rift between continents, one of the only two places in the world you can see continental plates drifting apart.
If seeing the world from the back of a tour bus (or snowmobile) isn't your thing, and you'd rather put the girls through their paces and get up close and personal with Iceland, there are Reykjavik hen activities that will leave you breathless for more than one reason. The girls might not initially thank you for hauling them across the ice on a Glacier Hike, but the phenomenal views are well worth the walk, on a clear day you'll be able to see as far as Greenland from the top. If even that's just not challenging enough for you, try hiking up an active volcano instead it's the second most active in Iceland and has erupted as recently as 2000. It was known as the ‘Gateway to Hell' in the Middle Ages for a reason but it's also one of the most rewarding hen do activities imaginable. Alternatively, give your legs a rest (kind of) and try snorkelling instead taking the plunge in Iceland's largest lake has not only crystal clear waters and a variety of wildlife to see, but also a gap that marks the edges of America and Europe, allowing you to swim between two different continents at once.
We can go on all we like about the staggering sights and scenery in Iceland, but a visit to the Blue Lagoon is always going to be the most popular Reykjavik hen idea around and with good reason. It's the most popular tourist site in Iceland, and it's listed again and again as one of the best geothermal spas in the world, with clear-blue mineral rich naturally heated waters providing a heavenly and irresistible temptation to hens looking to relax and rejuvenate on their hen weekend as well as soak those aching muscles after all the hiking and snowmobiling. There are mud baths and massages and treatments to enjoy, as well as it being a top place to catch up and gossip with the girls, but don't kid yourselves once you step into the hot waters, all you're going to want to do is lie back and float in sheer bliss.
Reykjavik isn't a cheap option for a hen do, but GoHen can help you keep the costs low and the quality high. Our Packages all have 2 nights accommodation, airport and activity transport, and a guided bar crawl with two free drinks included in the price, along with one of our fantastic Reykjavik hen activities, so all the planning and organisation is taken care of for you all you'll need to do is choose the one that best suits you and the girls. If none of them are quite what you're looking for, you can put together the activities, Nightlife and accommodation you want together to create your own custom package and still be assured of the same high-quality service and dedication. | <urn:uuid:98c4af11-5584-4b2b-ba92-b92593baeb69> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,574 |
2013 Waco-McLennan County
Community Health Needs Assessment
The Waco-McLennan County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was conducted through a partnership with The Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, Providence Healthcare Network, Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, the Heart of Texas Community Health Center, Inc. and the Heart of Texas Regional Advisory Council (HOTRAC). This project was funded in part by grants from the Masterson, Wood fund of the Waco Foundation and the Cooper Foundation.
The goal of the CHNA is to provide a comprehensive and unbiased profile of McLennan County, assess community health and risk factors, and identify access to care issues. The results will stimulate discussion and planning of projects to address health needs identified. Previous assessments have resulted in targeted health promotions and have supported numerous grant opportunities for the community.
The assessment provides information on a number of health-related concerns such as:
• General physical, mental and emotional health status;
• Healthcare access issues such as health insurance, dental insurance, as well as child care issues;
• Health awareness of several health conditions; and
• Behaviors that affect health. | <urn:uuid:a2dc1d88-1b64-4ec6-9a64-e63e3060a198> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,237 |

Ridgeway running back Sheldon Dawson, who committed to the Tigers on Monday, attended the announcement.
Hurd and Mitchell become U of M coach Larry Porter's sixth and seventh commitments of the 2012 class. Of the seven commitments Porter has secured thus far, five hail from the Memphis metropolitan area.
"It's home," Hurd said. "It's our city, and it's a great city. It would be good for us to come (to the U of M) and help rebuild."
By Wednesday night, as TigerAuthority.com first reported, Mitchell's final three included Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Memphis.
"I talked to my family, really, and they were like they want to come see me play," Mitchell said. "I didn't just want to go too far, so I was thinking I would stay home. That's the closest you can get. We're going to bring something to Memphis."
Hurd and Mitchell said they both expect to come in from day one and contribute so long as they "work hard and earn their spots," Hurd said.
Mitchell acknowledged that he needs to add on 15 pounds to get to a good playing weight — he said he's currently 235 pounds — but sees no problem doing so.
Mitchell's father, Carl Mitchell Sr., said he's glad U of M coach Larry Porter is tapping into the talent in the Memphis metro area.
"It's a good thing he's doing," Mitchell Sr. said. "There's a lot of talent here in Memphis. He just needs to stick to it, they need to stick together and they'll have a winning team."
In the last two weeks, the Tigers have gotten commitments from Melrose quarterback Will Gross and Dawson. Both Wooddale prospects said their commitments played a role in their decisions.
New Wooddale coach Keith Spann, a U of M alum, said it makes him proud to see local kids committing to play for the Tigers.
"It seems to me that there's a group of guys trying to put their hometown university on their backs and make a commitment," Spann said. "It shows how serious (U of M coaches) are about recruiting. There's hometown talent here. They're holding their own against surrounding colleges." | <urn:uuid:392e2ef7-79d5-4c41-b7a9-3cbed1cdfc50> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,014 |
14th International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED), Valencia, Spain, 2 - 04 March 2020, pp.2090-2097
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) suffer from a characteristic impairment in the ability to interpret social cues and often fail to use social gaze in empathetic and joint-attention tasks. The behavior of tracking an adult's eye movements, which appears in typically developing children in about 6th month, is considered as the beginning point of the ability to respond to joint attention. Studies show that children with ASD exhibit less joint attention skill and they fail in looking at the direction others are looking at and pointing at and in following the direction others are looking at, pointing at when they are compared to typically developing children and other children with developmental retardation. It is reported in some studies that the behaviors of responding to others' joint attention and initiation to joint attention are taught separately, and in other studies, both joint attention abilities are taught together. Nowadays, robot applications have appeared as a new approach in ASD implementations as a result of technological and scientific developments. Various social robots have been produced with an aim to increase the motivation of those with ASD by decreasing the stress level in complicated situations in the social setting and by enabling them to learn in simpler, predictable, and controlled settings. Besides, recently, social robots have increasingly been used in teaching joint attention abilities. In this study, it was aimed to give information about joint attention and types of robots, explain the characteristics of social robots, and put forward the current trends related to social robots by examining the studies conducted on the use of social robots for teaching joint attention abilities to children with ASD. Social robots could be a promising method for ASD treatment. There are remarkably different results regarding the robot applications in teaching the joint attention abilities to children with ASD. Therefore, it is not definitively known to which extent robot therapy contributes to the student's joint attention improvement. While efficiency research is frequently conducted in the studies in which robots have been used for teaching joint attention abilities to children with ASD, although rarely, comparative studies have also been conducted in recent years. Positive results are mentioned in this efficiency research, whereas there are also controversial results. In comparative studies, it is noteworthy that the human being and robot applications were compared in only one study. As a result, robots are thought to provide a significant support for the development of joint attention interactions such as attracting the attention of children, helping them participate in activities, building a bond for social interaction, motivating them, providing natural stimuli and bringing about different emotional expressions although there are different results about robot applications in the development of the joint attention abilities of children with ASD. In the related literature, it is also suggested to work with larger and different sample groups in order to generalize the existing study results since it is observed that the dimension of generalization is not addressed. Further studies in which robots play an active role compared to therapists can be carried out. | <urn:uuid:bf2d92d3-6f19-4a2d-bd68-12b40622259d> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,467 |

Scammers are in every industry. The sewer business is no different. Unscrupulous companies prey on vulnerable consumers, claiming they need unnecessary services. Such tactics and scams have given the industry a bad reputation.
You don’t have to fall victim to their schemes. Here are four ways to avoid being scammed by a sewer cleaning company.
1. Stay with the Technician in Your Home
Unscrupulous companies may send two technicians to your home: one to ask questions and one to plant evidence or fake damage.
If two technicians arrive, try not to let them separate. If one leaves to “inspect” the problem, follow him or her.
A common scam is using dirt to make homeowners think they have a broken pipe. They’ll spread dirt out in a specific area and claim that it’s an indication of a broken sewer pipe that’s pushing dirt through the concrete.
Drain lines rarely have enough pressure to force water through a concrete slab let alone dirt.
In another common scheme, one technician will come with a bag of rocks. He or she will place those rocks in house traps or cleanouts. After a few stoppages, they will show the homeowner the rocks that were “removed” and claim that the pipe is damaged. They’ll say that the pipes need to be video inspected and jetted to find the damage.
2. Listen for the Wrong Questions
Some sewer companies prey on vulnerable customers, which often includes the elderly, divorced and widowed homeowners.
Employees are actually trained to spot vulnerable candidates and are told to ask questions, like “Are you divorced?” or “Is your spouse home?”
If the service provider is asking questions that are unrelated to your plumbing, you may want to send them packing.
3. Check the Camera Footage
If you have a legitimate problem, a sewer camera inspection can help the service provider spot the problem and get working on a solution. But unscrupulous companies may recommend this service when it’s unnecessary.
Some service providers show homeowners pre-taped inspections of pipes that are in very poor condition and claim that it’s the customer’s pipe.
How can you avoid this scam? Ask the technician to record something distinguishable near your home to prove that the camera is actually recording. This will help you avoid unnecessary services, like hydro jetting. Although great for removing build-up and grease, hydro jetting may not be necessary for your pipes and will only drive up the cost of the service.
4. Research Companies Before Committing
Take the time to research companies before hiring one. Check their websites and search for reviews online.
Unscrupulous companies will have complaints from consumers, especially if they use high-pressure sales tactics. If you can’t find any reviews and the company claims to have been in business for a while, you may want to mark them off of your list. Fly-by-night companies may scam you and run.
If you can, get recommendations from people you trust so that you know what to expect. If a friend or neighbor had a good experience, there’s a good chance that you will, too. | <urn:uuid:cdfd3961-9edf-4b6a-97ff-f7af30505761> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,052 |
Speed Control of Three Phase Induction Motor
The three-phase asynchronous motor speed formula is: n=60f/p(1-s)
It can be seen from the above formula that changing the power supply frequency f, the number of pole pairs “p” of the motor and the slip rate “s” can achieve the purpose of changing the speed. From the essence of speed regulation, different speed regulation methods are nothing more than changing the synchronous speed of the AC motor or without changing the synchronous speed.
The speed regulation method without changing the synchronous speed：
- Rotor string resistance speed regulation of wound motor
- Chopping speed regulation
- Cascade speed regulation and application of electromagnetic slip clutch
- Hydraulic coupling
- Oil film clutch etc.
The speed regulation method of changing the synchronous speed：
Multi-speed motor that changes the number of stator pole pairs, variable frequency speed regulation that changes stator voltage and frequency.
1. Pole-changing method
This speed regulation method is to change the number of stator poles of the cage motor by changing the connection of the stator winding to achieve the purpose of speed regulation. This method is suitable for production machinery that does not require stepless speed regulation, such as metal cutting machine tools, elevators, starting machines, heavy equipment, fans, pumps, etc.
Features are as follows:
- It has hard mechanical properties and good stability;
- No slip loss, high efficiency;
- Simple wiring, convenient control and low price;
- There is step speed regulation, the step difference is large, and smooth speed regulation cannot be obtained;
- It can be used in conjunction with voltage regulation and speed regulation and electromagnetic slip clutch to obtain smooth speed regulation with higher efficiency.
2.Frequency control method
Variable frequency speed regulation is a speed regulation method that changes the frequency of the motor stator power supply, thereby changing its synchronous speed. The main equipment of the frequency conversion speed regulation system is the frequency converter that provides the frequency conversion power supply. The frequency converter can be divided into two categories: AC-DC-AC frequency converter and AC-AC frequency converter. At present, most of the domestic use AC-DC-AC frequency converter.This method is suitable for occasions requiring high precision and good speed regulation performance.
- High efficiency, no additional loss in the process of speed regulation;
- Wide range of applications, can be used for squirrel induction motors;
- Large speed range, hard characteristics and high precision;
- The technology is complex, the cost is high, and the maintenance and repair are difficult.
3. Cascade speed regulation method
Cascade speed regulation means that an adjustable additional potential is connected in series in the rotor circuit of a wound motor to change the slip of the motor and achieve the purpose of speed regulation. Most of the slip power is absorbed by the additional potential connected in series, and then the additional device is used to generate the additional device to return the absorbed slip power to the grid or convert energy for use. According to the absorption and utilization mode of slip power, cascade speed regulation can be divided into motor cascade speed regulation, mechanical cascade speed regulation and thyristor cascade speed regulation, and thyristor cascade speed regulation is mostly used.
The method is suitable for use on fans, water pumps, rolling mills, mine hoists and extruders.
Its characteristics are:
- The slip loss in the process of speed regulation can be fed back to the power grid or production machinery, with high efficiency;
- The capacity of the device is proportional to the speed regulation range, and the investment is low. It is suitable for production machinery with a speed regulation range of 70%-90% of the rated speed;
- When the speed control device fails, it can be switched to full speed operation to avoid production stoppage;
- The power factor of thyristor cascade speed regulation is low, and the influence of harmonics is large.
4. Rotor string resistance speed regulation method of wound motor
The rotor of the wound asynchronous motor is connected in series with additional resistance, so that the slip rate of the motor is increased, and the motor runs at a lower speed. The larger the resistance in series, the lower the speed of the motor. This method is simple in equipment and convenient in control, but the slip power is dissipated in the resistance in the form of heat. It belongs to step-by-step speed regulation, and its mechanical properties are relatively soft.
5. Stator voltage regulation and speed regulation method
When changing the stator voltage of the motor, a set of different mechanical characteristic curves can be obtained, thereby obtaining different rotational speeds. Since the torque of the motor is proportional to the square of the voltage, the maximum torque drops a lot, and its speed regulation range is small, making it difficult to apply a general cage motor. In order to expand the range of speed regulation, a squirrel motor with a large rotor resistance value should be used for voltage regulation and speed regulation, such as a torque motor specially designed for voltage regulation and speed regulation, or a frequency sensitive resistor in series with a wound motor. In order to expand the stable operation range, when the speed regulation is above 2:1, feedback control should be used to achieve the purpose of automatic speed regulation.
The main device for voltage regulation and speed regulation is a power supply that can provide voltage changes. At present, the commonly used voltage regulation methods include series saturable reactors, autotransformers and thyristor voltage regulation. The thyristor voltage regulation method is the best.
- The voltage regulation and speed regulation circuit is simple, and it is easy to realize automatic control;
- In the process of voltage regulation, the slip power is dissipated in the rotor resistance in the form of heat, and the efficiency is low.
- Voltage regulation and speed regulation are generally suitable for production machinery below 100KW.
6. Electromagnetic speed regulating motor
The electromagnetic speed regulating motor consists of three parts: squirrel motor, electromagnetic slip clutch and DC excitation power supply (controller). The power of the DC excitation power supply is small, and it is usually composed of a single-phase half-wave or full-wave thyristor rectifier. Changing the conduction angle of the thyristor can change the magnitude of the excitation current.
The electromagnetic slip clutch consists of three parts: armature, magnetic pole and excitation winding. The armature and the latter have no mechanical connection and can rotate freely. The armature and the motor rotor are coaxially connected, called the active part, and driven by the motor; When both the armature and the magnetic poles are stationary, if the excitation winding is connected to DC, several pairs of magnetic poles with alternating N and S polarities will be formed along the circumferential surface of the air gap, and the magnetic flux will pass through the armature. When the armature rotates with the driving motor, due to the relative movement between the armature and the magnetic pole, the armature induces an eddy current, which interacts with the magnetic flux to generate torque, which drives the rotor with the magnetic pole to rotate in the same direction. The rotation speed is always lower than the rotation speed N1 of the armature, which is a kind of slip speed regulation mode. By changing the DC excitation current of the slip clutch, the output torque and rotation speed of the clutch can be changed.
- The device structure and control circuit are simple, the operation is reliable, and the maintenance is convenient;
- Smooth and stepless speed regulation;
- Harmonic influence on the power grid;
- Loss of speed and low efficiency.
- This method is suitable for production machinery of medium and small power, which requires smooth sliding and short-term low-speed operation.
7. Speed regulation method of hydraulic coupler
The hydraulic coupling is a hydraulic transmission device, generally composed of a pump wheel and a turbine, which are collectively called a working wheel and placed in a sealed casing. A certain amount of working liquid is filled in the shell. When the pump wheel is rotated by the prime mover, the liquid in it is pushed by the blades and rotates. When it enters the turbine along the outer ring of the pump wheel under the action of centrifugal force, it will give the pump wheel in the same direction. The turbine blades use the thrust to drive the production machinery. The power transfer capacity of the hydraulic coupler is consistent with the relative filling volume in the shell. In the working process, changing the filling rate can change the turbine speed of the coupler to achieve stepless speed regulation.
- The power adaptation range is large, which can meet the needs of different powers from tens of kilowatts to thousands of kilowatts;
- Simple structure, reliable operation, convenient use and maintenance, and low cost;
- Small size, large capacity;
- The control adjustment is convenient, and it is easy to realize automatic control. This method is suitable for speed regulation of fans and pumps. | <urn:uuid:613d9b8d-31ac-4734-b3b4-4de6bf0ff2ed> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 9,507 |

Krieger-Kunz Therapeutic Touch
Nature: A Source of Inspiration and Information
By Barbara Janelle M.A.
Most people recognize that they feel good after a walk in the woods, across a meadow, along a shore or even around a city block if there are trees along the way. Just stepping outdoors revitalizes the human energy field.
Many people acknowledge that being outdoors, going for a walk, working in the garden or even just watching a sunrise or sunset stimulates creativity. I know university professors who use hiking as a way of subconsciously processing ideas and information to support their research productivity. I find that my writing often gels after a walk or work in the garden. For many years, horseback riding provided a venue in which I processed experience and developed greater understanding of myself and life.
In my interspecies communication classes, I use several exercises to help participants become more aware of Nature’s role in supporting health and creativity. I also develop exercises that enable people to receive immediate information from various forms in Nature.
A Simple Exercise. This exercise starts with a check-in to notice how your body feels, what you are feeling emotionally, and what kind of thoughts are occupying your mind. Then go outdoors and either walk around a yard or go for a walk around a block or along a path where there are trees and/or plants, or water, or rock formations. This can take five to thirty or more minutes. When the walk is finished, do another check-in to see how your body is feeling, how you are feeling emotionally and what kind of thoughts are occupying your mind.
Seeking Information through Metaphor. In another exercise, I ask course participants to go outdoors for a brief walk and notice something that catches their attention. Upon returning, they write a description of what caught their eyes, using single words or short phrases. Working in pairs, they read their lists of descriptive words and phrases to each other. Then again out loud, they repeat the list but this time putting the words “I am” or “I have” or some other “I ….” to connote ownership in front of each word or phrase.
Seeking Insight on a Specific Topic. Each of these exercises can be used to ask for information on specific topics.
Exercise with a Tree. While I have written about this before (1), it is useful to review it again here. This can be done to support health, or to garner insight or both.
Be sure to thank the tree when the session is finished.
Exercise with a Large Rock. Sit or lie on a large rock and take some time to relax and notice the sounds around you. Then notice how much of your body moves as you breathe. Then ask the rock to show you something it would like you to know. Or ask the rock to show you something about the history of the area. Again information will come quickly and perhaps in ways that surprise you.
All of these exercises are easy to do and with regular use it is possible to build the habit of increased awareness and conscious communication in daily interactions with Nature. | <urn:uuid:ce1a32c1-332d-4839-8f26-377f99bc1c76> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,068 |
By Denise Lugo
A Private Company Council (PCC) decision to leverage Internal Revenue Code Section 409A valuation procedures for finding the current price on an underlying share for certain types of stock options, will be issued as a proposal for public comment, the FASB decided by a 6 to 1 vote.
The board plans to propose that private companies can opt to utilize valuation procedures in IRC Section 409A and the associated Treasury regulations to figure out the current price input used to determine the “grant-date fair value of an equity-classified share option award,” terminology that speaks to the nuances of the matter being addressed. IRC Section 409A, effective January 1, 2005, regulates taxation of nonqualified deferred compensation.
The proposal will provide a practical expedient that enables companies to use a valuation in accordance with the “presumption of reasonableness” requirements of Section 409A. When a valuation qualifies for the “presumption of reasonableness” it is expected to be a reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method, according to a board handout. A practical expedient is a cost-effective way of achieving the same or a similar accounting or reporting objective as an original provision in GAAP.
Private company accountants will be able to weigh in by early April for 45 days on whether the proposed alternative would ease cost and complexity, the board said on February 12, 2020.
The proposal “can help clarify and even some places ease costs and I think that would actually reduce audit costs,” FASB Vice Chairman James Kroeker said. “Because the tax valuation does have potential consequences to the entity even though the tax may be on the employee I think there are penalties, false filing fees and I think that in it of itself reduces audit costs.”
Kroeker said the amendments would be a good alternative for private companies. “I put it in the context of the subjectivity of the number we’re talking about in the first place and then how much user reliance there is or isn’t on the exact number of stock compensation versus the fact that it occurred,” he said.
Providing an Option
The PCC, the panel that advises the FASB on private company matters, in 2019 flagged “measurement of grant-date fair value of equity-classified share-based awards” as an area that is costly and complex for private companies. The PCC mid-December 2019 voted that a proposed should be issued on the topic.
PCC members said an accounting alternative would reduce costs for private companies by eliminating the need for them to perform two separate valuations: one for GAAP; and, one for tax purposes.
The proposal would amend Topic 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation. The scope of the amendments would be applicable to awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The expedient should be electable prospectively, on an award by award basis for all qualifying awards, according to a FASB staff analysis.
Some FASB members suggested staff accountants research the amount of cost savings the changes would bring, as well as gain insight from auditors about the topic.
“I think we should have additional outreach and ask a question about the audit cost and make sure that we understand is there a real cost savings for audit or not and we can talk about that and you guys can meet with auditors about what they would do differently, if anything,” FASB Chairman Russell Golden said.
Botosan Sole Dissent
FASB member Christine Botosan dissented because of skepticism that the proposal would ease cost and provide more useful information.
“Generally I would support differences between public and private companies where there is a substantial cost savings in the information that is being provided to the typical users of private company financial statements. But this is not a case where I see there being substantial cost savings,” Botosan said.
“I think the staff has done extensive outreach and from that outreach what I understood is behavior on the preparer side is not going to change. And the reason why it’s not going to change is because they’re not doing this estimation of fair value of stock for accounting purposes, they’re doing it because they’re signing an option contract with a counterparty and that is going to determine how much someone is going to pay for the stock in the future because it becomes the basis for determining what the exercise price of the option is,” she said.
Botosan said staff research revealed that it is relatively rare for an entity to get two valuations. “I find it very hard to believe that companies are routinely reporting one fair value to the IRS and a different fair value for accounting purposes. That would seem very odd to me,” she said. “I think that what we’re essentially going to do is just codify widespread existing practice. I think existing practice is clearly currently allowed, I think people understand that and that’s why we see generally just one valuation being done.”
As for the audit cost savings, said Botosan, “I’m very concerned that there’s confusion about whether this practical expedient is going to provide a safe harbor for the audit of the inputs into the 409A valuation if the 409A evaluation is being used.”

Bariatric surgery, which significantly curtails the amount of food a person can eat, is being recognised as a potentially valuable tool in curbing diabetes related to obesity and is an increasingly popular procedure.
But some types of bariatric surgery may also cause bone loss, a cause for concern, particularly when carried out on young people who have not yet reached their peak bone mass, say the Garvan Institute researchers.
Review authors, UNSW Associate Professor (Conjoint) Jackie Center and Dr Malgorzata Brzozowska, say skeletal examination and treatment should be considered part of patient care, before and after procedures.
The most invasive of the procedures – Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery – involves removal of much of the stomach and bypass of the small bowel. Less radical is the ‘gastric sleeve’, which involves removing a large part of the stomach, leaving a narrowed smaller stomach, restricting food intake and speeding the passage of food to the gut. The least invasive is the ‘gastric band’, an inflatable ring placed between the oesophagus and stomach, making it possible to eat only small amounts of food slowly.
“Even though we don’t yet understand all the mechanisms, we can see that the more radical the procedure, the greater the bone loss long-term,” says Dr Brzozowska.
Associate Professor Center says they are not against bariatric surgery but ask doctors and patients to take bone health into account.
“Bone mineral densitometry scans can be done and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake advised. For those patients at particular risk, additional monitoring may be advised and protective drugs considered,” Associate Professor Center says.

Short French tip coffin nails design is a classic manicure for spring nails 2022, which is very attractive and easy to use. The design often highlights nude or light pink undertones and striking white tips.
If you are dreaming of autumn like us, even if spring and summer have not yet arrived, you are welcome! To use Short coffin nails on my hands! Absolutely not!). Usually, this time of year, our feed floods all the screenshot-worthy nail art from New York Fashion Week. Still, since the Fall 2021 fashion show looks a little different, primarily virtual, you may have a hard to find all the typical traces of fall nail inspiration. One of the nail trends we recommend is short coffin nails that you can take with you to your wedding or graduation. Do not worry. We have collected and collected many nail fashion trends for the fall of 2021 for you, some straight from the show, others directly to show off, perfect for next season. So look, you will soon see all the nail art trends, designs, and colors (less than 29 weeks before autumn, but who will count?)
Glitter coffin nails designs come back. How to Make coffin nails? Glitter coffin nails designs are now becoming the hottest acrylic nail art trend, but they will disappear soon. This hairstyle needs long nails, so both sides can be filed flat, and the top will be balanced. Coffin nail is also called “coffin ballet dancer nail.”These glitter coffin nails are guaranteed to make any pin look great, so we all like coffin ballet dancer nails suitable for any occasion. Fortunately, if your nails are not very long, you can use the ballerina’s acrylic nails for this great manicure, so it’s time to look for inspiration!
Pink coffin nails are so popular in 2021 in Spring and Summer. What are coffin nails (ballerina nails), and how is it made? Coffin nails, which are becoming the most popular trend now, are not developing rapidly, and the acrylic nails style that requires long nails to allow files on one side and knife points on the other is also known as nails for coffins. These stylish acrylic pink coffin nails are guaranteed to make every look fantastic, and therefore we love all the nails for coffins of all occasions. Luckily, if you don’t have too long nails, you can use a ballerina’s acrylic nails to wear this kind of super nails, so it’s time for you to get stiff! The unique coffin-shaped nail trend by designers this season has been called creepy, dark, and controversial. But demand creates supply. Even today, designers can offer a lot of ideas for unusual leg designs. And they guarantee that the nail design with the coffin is deadly, suitable for make-up, soft, innocent, and even romantic.
Do your nails look a bit monotonous and bored? And then darken your facade with green! Green ombre coffin nails have a bright color, are trendy, and will look gorgeous in the summer. Furthermore, this trend is also linked to fashion figures who love Philip Hana and perrui. The design of these nails is therefore essential for those looking for high fashion and beauty.
One of the best features of a skeleton configuration is its practical, less pointed use than almond nails, short nails. For your inspiration, I have collected 30 beautiful pink coffin nails works of art by talented artists. The shape is similar to that of delicate heels, but the toe forms into a square shape and the body looks more like a barefoot or a blonde. Coffin nails are difficult to peel off natural nails. If you could make natural nails square, it would be good for you. Coffin-shaped nails look a little better on false or long crystal-shaped nails.
Animal print nail designs are always cute. Everything from cow print to tortoiseshell (and leopard, obviously) tips often flood social media feeds, but there’s another animal-themed design that’s just as gorgeous: butterfly nail art, which you can actually do yourself. Butterfly printed on ballerina nail shape is absolutely hot and chic this spring and summer!
Is there any better time to bust out that bold heart nail polish than on February 14th,the romantic Valentine’s Day? After all, the color has long been associated with Valentine’s Day in the form of heart-shaped boxes of the best Valentine’s Day chocolates and floral bouquets (BTW, make sure you check out the meaning of different rose colors before you order your flowers). But if you’re looking for some ideas to take your standard manicure to the next level, we have a couple of nail art ideas that will do the trick. With adventurous shapes, sugary hearts — and that classic pink, red and white nail polish color palette — these nail designs will have you feeling the love in no time. | <urn:uuid:c7495d05-759f-4fc9-badc-de2b0ed50189> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,664 |

Berlin’s Brexit Blues: A Plan to Keep Calm and Carry On
Queen Elizabeth, the United Kingdom’s longest-serving monarch, undertook what was, perhaps, her final state visit last year. Of all the places she could have traveled to, she chose Germany, the de facto leader of Europe. The three-day tour was filled with reminders of U.K.-German relations—a lecture on their shared history by the popular historian Neil MacGregor of the British Museum, a speech on U.K.-German business ties in Frankfurt (a financial hub that could benefit from Brexit), and a first visit to the former concentration camp Bergen-Belsen, which was liberated by British troops in 1945. It was a trip that clearly, though subtly, reflected the queen’s position on Brexit: the United Kingdom must remain in the European Union.
