BAKERSFIELD, CA - Bakersfield Police say the man allegedly stabbed by a 16-year-old girl in southwest Bakersfield over the weekend has a criminal history of violence.
On Monday, police identified the man as 35-year-old Manuel A. Hernandez.
Blood spatter covered the door of the home in the 7200 block of Three Rivers Drive, where the stabbing happened early Sunday morning. Neighbors said it's in a new housing development at the edge of southwest Bakersfield.
Online phone book records and police information confirm Manuel Hernandez lived at the home.
Police say the 16-year-old stabbed Hernandez around 1 a.m. Sunday. Bakersfield Police call it a domestic violence incident, but say the two are not related.
We know very little about the teen, but here's what we found out about Hernandez on Monday. Court documents show in 1995, Manuel Hernandez was arrested and convicted of voluntary manslaughter. Eleven years later, Hernandez was arrested again. This time, he was charged with inflicting injury on a spouse, threatening with intent to terrorize, and disabling a telephone or power line. Those charges were dismissed, but Hernandez was convicted of false imprisonment with violence and sentenced to two years and eight months in prison.
As of Sunday, police say Hernandez was in stable but critical condition. Also on Sunday, the teen was arrested and booked into Kern County Juvenile Hall for attempted murder. But, police say the case has not been referred to the district attorney, and officers don't not know if the teen will be charged.

Now that it’s clear this year’s Louisville-Kentucky college football game will not be televised nationally by a mainstream network, isn’t it time to admit moving the game to the third week of the season was a mistake? If so, let’s fix it for the future. There’s no need to wait another day.
The latest agreement between the two schools calls for the annual rivalry to be played the third game of the season when it’s staged at UK’s Commonwealth Stadium, and on the first game of the year when it’s held at U of L’s Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.
The company line being offered by Wildcat head coach Rich Brooks is that moving out of the season-opening slot will give his Cats a better chance to be ready for the clash with the Cards, who have won the last four meetings and seven of the last eight (including a 59-28 win last year, pictured left). Louisville settled for the change because it wanted to make sure the series continued, and UK was adamant there must be a switch.
Now, however, evidence is mounting that it was a mistake to alter what was becoming a growing and popular Labor Day-week/files/storyimages/tradition among fans from both schools, who seem equally and increasingly miffed by the move.
For the past several years, ESPN has selected the game for one of its prime platforms, giving both U of L and UK significant national exposure for recruits as well as for fans and alumni from around the country. This year, the best that folks can hope for is a spot on ESPN Classic, a network that’s extremely limited in its reach. Barring that, it’s likely destined for a delayed broadcast that won’t even reach some parts of the Commonwealth, let alone the recruiting hotbeds in Florida, Ohio, Texas and California, and the various alumni outposts around the nation. In the end, that can’t be good news for Brooks or new U of L head coach Steve Kragthorpe.
ESPN’s reluctance to carry this year’s contest on one of its main platforms was predictable. As the first game of the year, it was one of only a handful of attractive match-ups available. Played on the third weekend, it’s just one of many options – some with more inter-sectional appeal in more populated areas than the Cards and Cats can offer. When in doubt, ESPN tends to favor games that cross time zones or have particularly appeal in major markets such as Chicago, Detroit and New York.
Let’s face it, with projected early-round NFL draft picks like quarterbacks Brian Brohm and Andre Woodson and receivers Harry Douglas and Keenan Burton competing, and with the Cards picked as a top-10 team and the Wildcats coming off their best season in years, The Game would still have been a sure-bet selection for top coverage had it been scheduled as the season opener for both. Instead, it gets lost in the shuffle.
What about Rich Brooks’ suggestion that the move will give his team a better chance to win? UK athletic director Mitch Barnhart dutifully backed his coach on this issue, but to date, there’s been no logical reason given to support such a philosophy.
U of L will have exactly the same amount of time to prepare and will have the same number of warm-up games (two) before the UK contest. Also, there are far more variables for both teams playing in the third week of the season – a far greater chance that an injury or two suffered in the first two games could dramatically affect the outcome.
The reasons both teams originally agreed to the opening-day plan and began play in 1994 (pictured left) were sound: Since the teams were in different conferences, a late-season clash (like Auburn-Alabama) wasn’t feasible. Instead, the opener would focus attention on college football in Kentucky like nothing else ever had. It would be an event and a celebration, not just another game. It had significant potential to generate new revenue and new interest for both teams. It would be an unveiling of what both programs would offer for the new season. Both teams would be undefeated and at full strength, and both teams could bounce back from a loss and still have 11 or 12 games to produce an excellent season, even a BCS bowl bid.
Now, due to the date change, the benefits to both schools have been watered down, and that seems to have become a disappointment for fans of both schools.
Even if Kentucky does defeat Louisville this time, it will have nothing to do with the date of the game; it will be because the Wildcats were simply better that day. And unfortunately for UK, the Cats will gain only a fraction of an advantage because too few people will witness it. If Kentucky loses in the third week of the season, the Wildcats will have to quickly prepare for a crucial Southeastern Conference game at Arkansas seven days later, rather than regroup with a couple of easier games as the Cats have previously.
Clearly, the change from opening day for the UofL-UK bash still finds members of the statewide media struggling to make sense of it. More important, it has fans of both teams wondering aloud why something that was so good was altered.
When the contract creating the modern day series between Louisville and Kentucky was signed, it was done so due to the interest of the people of the Commonwealth. Fans were ready for it. They embraced it. They made it a unique event, whether Big Blue quarterback Tim Couch was racking up points against the Cards, or U of L was dominating with its running game.
If it truly is a game for the people, then the people should be heard. If changing the date is a mistake, then fans should politely demand it be returned to its original spot as the season opener for both teams.
Now is the time when future schedules can be most easily adjusted. Why wait? Let’s fix it now – once and for all.

Although the bench at the bus stop was metal and quite cold, Liz barely reacted to it when she sat down. Her mind was full of the insanity that had been her work day. Even more maddening, today was merely a drop in the bucket of endless days. Just more of the same, over and over, until she felt so numb that even a frozen butt could not faze her.
With a small sigh for the sadness of it all, Liz leaned back against the frigid bench and snuggled as far into her coat as she could manage. The sun, an orange glow back-lighting the buildings across the street, had all but set. It would only get colder before her bus came.

Depression in itself is a complicated disorder, but there may be further complications that can make treating the condition a lot more challenging. Diagnosing the malady in the first place can be complex. If symptoms are typically mental, it may be hard for the person being affected or the people around them to realize anything wrong. Physical symptoms which are commonly seen with the disorder may be mistaken for other common diseases as symptoms are rather generic. Some physical symptoms include weakness, body pain (muscle aches, headaches and other body pains), digestive symptoms and others. These physical symptoms may be easily confused with the flu or other common disease.
Once the disorder has been recognized, effects can usually be brought under control by the use of conventional treatments such as antidepressants. There seems to be a lot of debate regarding the effects of these drugs but for the most part, they are commonly used to treat the disorder quite successfully irrespective of side effects. There are some situations however, where individuals fail to respond to antidepressants. This can complicate the situation as antidepressants provide instant relief while the condition is further evaluated. This is known as refractory depression. According to the refractory depression definition, it occurs when a person does not show improvement after being under administration with two different antidepressant medications.
In most cases, while improvement is not shown at least minimal changes may occur even though it is insufficient. In some patients, it may not even have this minimal effect and may even result in several side effects. This is known as severe refractory depression. If this occurs, antidepressants medication should be completely avoided and not even reconsidered in future. Fortunately, there are several refractory depression treatments available. Conventional therapies include electroconvulsive therapy and magnetic therapy.
Electroconvulsive therapy can produce unpleasant side effects and can be very intrusive. For this reason, it is only used in extreme cases of the disorder. Magnetic therapy is usually a good substitute for antidepressants. It rarely produces any serious side effects and has been used effective as an alternative. Another option is to seek other alternative, natural treatments outside of medical jurisdiction. While they are not conventional treatments, they have shown promising results to treat patients with refractive depression.
Refractive depression can make treating the disorder a lot more inconvenient and difficult but it can certainly be done. | <urn:uuid:a2fc4efe-8806-4a49-8dd6-373e0286e6be> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,631 |
Couples will do almost everything to make their sex better. The latest trend most couples are adopting to is filming their sexual encounters and posting it on a website. Exhibitionism is thriving as technology encourages more and more of it.
The interesting thing about these videos is that the folks having sex seem to enjoy it, on average, a lot more than the actors in most porn videos. This tells you something. They were having fun while at it. This means that couples decide to record themselves because they want to spice up things.
Some couples like to be watched – others like breaking taboos – some like the attention and comments they get on free sites– others want to see their partners being desirable to others. Some people might even have political motivations by giving two fingers to the world that think porn or sex are shameful or immoral. The reasons could be listed all day and still not be exhausted.
Because several “celebrities” did it years ago and we like emulating anything that looks cool, this gives you instant status and social approval. If you pose this question to the public, you will get different reactions. This tells you that it all depends on what you agree on as a couple.
Disadvantages of posting your sex video
Since everything is now cloud based, anyone who has access to a computer or a phone can look at your video. This includes those people you didn’t want to see it. Now the hardest thing is taking back the video once you realize your mistake. Once it’s online it’s hard to stop it from circulating.
Recording yourself or taking pictures while having sex can be your worst mistake when you break up. You can imagine what your partner would do just to make your life difficult with the video or photos in hand. This is also the main thing people can use against you or even blackmail you.
If you have a reputation to keep, you should avoid this. You can imagine your video on your boss’s desk. Some get fired from their places of work because of their domestic affairs. Some companies value their reputations so much.
Although posting your nude video or pictures to the internet may be the latest thing, you should also consider the consequences of doing so. If you can handle the pressure from the public then you can post any video.

So when out of the ordinary things happen during the season, the Michigan coach often overlooks them, doesn't have time for them or simply forgets about them due to tunnel vision.
There was, however, one quirk that took place over the weekend in Atlanta that caught Beilein's ear.
A presidential request.
"You know when it really hit me, during the day (Michigan sports information director) Tom Wywrot got a call and said 'the White House called, and would like to have your personal cell number,' " Beilein recalled on WTKA-AM in Ann Arbor earlier this week. "I said 'holy cow, this is for real.'
"They never had to use it, but that's something that happened during that day that I'll embrace forever."
Michigan obviously fell short in the national championship game Monday, losing to Louisville, 82-76. So, there will be no trip to the White House to meet President Barack Obama.
But there will be plenty of memories for Beilein throughout this run.
He often says it's hard for him to stop and smell the roses -- but in Atlanta, he did his best.
"Was there anything more spectacular than playing in that game, on that night?" Beilein said. "When that (Michigan) flag came out there, are you kidding me?"
Beilein's had plenty of moments to remember this season, good, bad and in between.
But no matter what it is, he says he's enjoying every part of the ride.
"Any detractors or anyone like that over this time, I'm cool with all that because that's what I'm paid to do," he said. "I've been in a place where nobody cared about basketball, and didn't care if we won or lost -- that's an empty feeling.
"This is what I signed up for. We love all the people that support us. We love the people that have an affinity for other teams and don't like us -- it's great."

Today our political, business, media, and religious leaders increasingly reflect polarity in their thinking and acting. Polarity is the quality or state of being as different as possible. Or, two opposing yet related realities.
Polar leadership sees things in extremes, labeling them as black/white, right/wrong, yes/no, either/or, win/lose, my way or the highway. All too frequently today’s polar minded leaders react to disagreement with judgement and bullying, express an intolerance for any alternative views, and all too often label one as good and the other as bad.
Nonpolar leaders have a certain capacity to think beyond polarities and embrace other alternatives. They have a tolerance for ambiguity and the ability to hold tensions, embrace paradoxes, live with contradictions, and ask questions rather than demand answers.
Here are some insights into what nonpolar leaders know and practice that remain hidden to polar thinking leaders. Nonpolar leaders:
- seek first to understand
- patiently wait, listen, and learn
- know that every one-sided answer or solution leads to failure, exclusion, and only kicks the problem on down the road
- see other alternatives and possibilities
- know there is no perfect solution
- are servant leaders rather than command, demand, and control leaders
- search collaboratively with others for solutions
- are able to entertain even the partial truth that the other opinion might be offering
- are not over-identified with their position
- don’t need to always be right
- think beyond personal advantage and ask, “how can this situation serve the greater good?”
- emphasize the why of a decision and lovingly connect it to group values and spiritual truth
- don’t need to humiliate or defeat those who disagree with, hurt, or criticize them
- know that when well done, compromise and inclusiveness does not have to be viewed as abdicating core values but rather as helping reinforce other values
In short, nonpolar leaders understand that Jesus’s message of love, forgiveness, mercy, non-judgement, inclusiveness, and grace can’t be fully grasped with polarity thinking, yet when fully experienced totally breaks down polarities.

Last week I was singing the praises of Chez Pannisse Vegetables, and this Moroccan carrot salad is the next thing I cooked from it, which I made in order to use up a glut of carrots in the fridge. Though the recipe calls for pretty baby carrots with the stems still attached (not the peeled and cut "baby" ones at the grocery store, but actual young carrots), I cut up full-grown ones into half-moons and it was pretty delicious next to a roasted leg of lamb.
The spices are an unexpected blend of cumin, paprika, cayenne, and cinnamon. The recipe listed no quantities for the spices, so I experimented by using stronger amounts of cumin and paprika, just a little cayenne for heat, and cinnamon for its unique aromatic flavor. My guess is the next time I make this I'll improvise again. Otherwise, it's lemon juice for brightness, olive oil, and chopped parsley, with a clove of garlic cooked with the carrots to almost imperceptibly perfume them. The key is to allow as much time as possible for the flavors to mellow and marry; they are all strong and since they're never cooked, they can be harsh at first.
- 1/2 pound carrots, peeled cut into half-moons, or baby carrots peeled and split lengthwise
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Olive oil to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
Bring a pot of salty water to boil and cook the carrots along with the garlic clove until just tender. Drain and cool to room temperature.
Combine the spices and toss with the carrots, then toss with enough olive oil and lemon juice to coat. Taste for acidity and seasoning, and adjust as necessary.
Toss with the chopped parsley, then set aside to marinate for as long as possible. | <urn:uuid:d39dea8c-48d8-4349-a12f-095fef5e62dc> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,778 |
Check out the link for all the details on the new NBA All-Star Game uniforms. It is a shocker as it is quite simple, sleeve-free and features some unique designs that you may not notice.
It seems to me that with the simplicity of the Nets’ design and the history of basketball in New York, a design without a lot of glitz and glamour and all that jazz made sense. After all, New York is very big on their fashion and the last thing you want to do is represent The Big Apple with a poorly designed look.
With that said, I want to break down the warmups and the actual uniforms themselves.
Take a look at the above warmups. Black jacket with individual accomplishments on the sleeve? Yeah, I’m cool with that. Simple is good and these badges work. The shooting shirt is basically a baseball shirt. I guess, but it doesn’t really work for me in this situation. What bothers me is the pants. They look like lazy pants, the kind that you wear when you can’t find your jeans. They look like the fleece pants you wear at home. Not digging that.
Let’s go to the uniforms. Let me be the first to say that I hate hate hate that Adidas fores their three stripes on almost everything. It kills the design element of the uniform. I looked at this and I was almost surprised that they didn’t do it. Then I looked at the shorts. And there they are, completely unnecessary and killing the uniform once again. Adidas will never learn.
As for the jerseys, the big number in the front is OK with me. But it sure reminds me of a cheap rec league jersey. Or something generic. The star on the front is actually nice and the details of it is very good. In fact, I like the simplicity and creativity of it. And seeing it down one side, like the Nets’ old jerseys, is a nice touch. Just get your graphics right, Adidas.
As for the back of the jersey, I think it’s terrible. Full names? This is too much. They’ve already designated first names for Christmas and now this? I feel like they just didn’t know what to do with the space and over-compensated.
Overall, it is way better than the uniforms of years past. But it’s still nowhere near anything that I would like. There are some things that work for me (the stars) but it is still a mess. Oh well, that’s what happens when you let Adidas in control. | <urn:uuid:9b51f004-7218-4ae5-a5fd-6c21f5f38d66> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,279 |
There are hundreds of thousands of nerves in your foot and 28 bones (that’s 13.5 percent of all the bones in your body). They hold you up from morning ’til night and take the repetitive stress of 10,000 steps each day. And how do we repay them? By shoving them into uncomfortable shoes that exacerbate the stress they’re already under. More than 90 percent of women who wear heels suffer from pain, soreness and fatigue*. No kidding.
1. Small heels are good for you. Most people over-pronate, which means their arches and ankles collapse inward on each step. Going up on your toes—like when you slip into a pair of heels—turns your ankles slightly outward, counteracting the collapse. A stable 1- to 2-inch heel is ideal for this. A low heel also takes the strain off tight calf muscles, relieving pain and decreasing your odds of developing plantar faciitis.
2. You don’t need more shock absorption.Pronation is your foot’s natural way to absorb the shock of hitting the ground. The foot essentially unlocks itself, softening to absorb the blow, then rolls outward, becoming rigid again to support your weight as you lift your other foot and begin to propel forward. People who over-pronate remain in the unstable, unlocked position even when all of their weight is on one foot. For them, shock-absorbing cushioning just adds to the instability.
3. Every inch of heel height can put another 25 percent of your body weight onto your forefoot. That means, if you’re rocking 4-inch heels, you’re effectively walking on your tippy toes all day. Even a small ankle strap dramatically reduces the pressure on your piggies.
4. That burning sensation under the ball of your foot is actual heat. When your feet slip forward in high heels, you naturally claw your toes to try to stay in place. This pushes the head of your second metatarsal (the base of your second toe) into the sole of your shoe. The pressure and friction create a literal increase in temperature, according to studies. And a callous comes next.
5. Running in heels may lead to knee arthritis.Attention hustlers, movers and/or shakers: An October 2013 study in the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology found that jogging—say, running to catch a train—in 2 ¾-inch heels increases lateral movement of the knees (toward and away from each other), which could contribute to arthritis. Can’t part with your high heels? Then take a look at our gallery of heels that won’t kill your feet—or your outfit. | <urn:uuid:2ea9c331-dc9e-4b71-8db2-cde2e4b82c1a> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,482 |
It’s hard for me to imagine Korean BBQ without this refreshing salad. It’s also good to eat with any kinds of BBQ or steak whatever beef or pork even game.
Remember, the spring onion has to mix with the sauce just before serving. Otherwise the spring onion will go soggy and wilted just like any other Western salad.

After a long day, you’re probably ready to tuck your kiddo into bed and call it a night. But, knowing the many benefits of reading, you soldier on, break out that favorite book (that you’ve read 165 times already and already know by heart) and curl up next to your tot. And then you…skip a couple words. Maybe a sentence or two. Readasfastasyoucan. The end!
If this is you, you’re in good company. A new survey of 1,032 British parents by the U.K. bed maker SilentNight found 1 in 3 parents admits to skimming pages or rush-reading at nighttime because they’re tired.
But these parents believe in the benefits of reading, too, with more than two-thirds saying their children sleep better after reading a book, and three-quarters noting that reading actually helps them to relax.
So if you’re simply reading to your kids regularly, give yourself a pat on the back. Other research has found that only one in three parents read bedtime stories to their kids every night; the SilentNight survey found that the average parent reads to his or her child 3.5 nights per week.
Why keep up the habit? You’ve probably heard it before, but there's no harm in repeating it! Reading is so good for kids of all ages that the AAP recommends regularly doing so from infancy on. A few reasons why:
- Story time can help improve sleep. Babies and kids love routines, especially at nighttime. Sticking to one helps establish habits that help kids to fall asleep faster and sleep better. What's a better routine than breaking out a beloved book?
- Reading boosts kids’ brains. Researchers last year did real-time MRI brain scans of preschoolers as they were read to and found the parts of the brain that are crucial for language and reading development lit up. These areas were even brighter in kids whose parents had created a reading-friendly environment at home.
- You bond. Reading together involves plenty of cuddling and bonding—which, by the way, has in and of itself been shown to boost kids' brain power.
- It gives them a leg up at school. Reading exposes your baby to lots of words, and research has shown that language experience helps kids be better prepared for school.
What’s important is that you’re regularly reading to your kids in the first place. Whatever gets you through, go with it. If that means once in a while skipping a page here or there to get everyone to bed, your little one will still reap the benefits. Your secret is safe with us. | <urn:uuid:741317ad-1f4e-4e1d-b83e-2da2aa05fef0> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,443 |

Not discounting the potential for dogmatism amongst all ideologues; the state becomes the source of immorality in libertarianism (due to its coercive power) and an adoption of philosophical underpinnings that theoretically dictate historical origination and development. Perhaps useful in a debating exercise but has the potential to reduce complex questions on where do states come from, how do they form and why do they persist. They do not come into existence in the same way and in some geographical regions the state has never come into existence at all.
Bit if one were to pinpoint the most successful institution that humanity has brought about, then the state has a strong claim to be number one. It is universal, adopted in most civilisations (though underpinned by the city and/or the court) and adaptable enough to survive even the most severe of crises. The Byzantine state survived the Dark Age, changed and reduced, but still in existence.
Is coercion the key test for the success of the state? Other institutions are also coercive. Is the state successful because it acquires a monopoly on violence. State structures continue to exist and tend to emerge from polities with overlapping power centres, lacking a monopoly in violence. These tests are incomplete if viewed through a historical prism.
This short piece does not explain why states exist and why they contine to be successful; the ability to seize assets for collective purposes is a key part of that story; its immorality clear.
Libertarianism provides a key perspective on the morality of state power and action. This does not tell us why states emerge, exist and adapt. | <urn:uuid:0e853220-e153-48f1-bb98-9d79c79805a2> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,647 |
Soapside: 's Guide to Daytime
BY Michael Fairman
July 02 2010 1:55 PM ET
Later, Eden’s dear friend and former on-screen mother, soap legend Susan Lucci (Erica), chatted with me on the red carpet. Susan was in Sin City to honor Agnes Nixon, the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. La Lucci is on her summer hiatus from AMC but decided to stall her planned vacation to Europe to pay tribute to her mentor and the woman who gave birth to Erica Kane. All gay men should thank Agnes officially here now. Lucci admitted, “I owe everything to Agnes Nixon. I would say we all wouldn’t be here tonight if it wasn’t for Agnes. She is the one who really took the genre into modern times and raised the bar so high and brought humor to daytime. It has always been Agnes who drove the character of Erica. I would read the scripts and gasp, ‘Oh, I am so lucky to play this character!’”
Backstage in the press room, I had the opportunity to ask Agnes (pictured) about her proudest accomplishments in her career, and she did not disappoint, alluding to subjects pertinent, vital, and historic in all of our lives.
“I think I am proudest of the social issues we have done. I mean Jesse and Angie, the first African-American couple. We did stories on child abuse. I am so grateful from the reaction of the public to so many of it. On the subject of AIDS, we did a year story on that and homosexuality; with Eden playing Bianca, that became so popular. I got letters from women who would say, ‘If I could have only seen this show when I was a teenager.’ And so that has been very gratifying. Besides the social issues, I think we brought humor to daytime. And a world without laughter, I do not care to live in. No matter how bad things get, we can always add a smile. And I wanted the audience to look at the Adam Chandlers and the Palmer Cortlandts and sometimes even Erica Kane. I want the audience to say about the worst character on a soap opera show, ‘There but for the grace of God go I.’ Because, no matter how evil a person is, they can change. That’s why I wrote that piece: ‘The rich and the poor. The weak and the strong, In joy and in sorrow. In tragedy and triumph. You are All My Children.’ My theory is ... the brotherhood of man.”
Who doesn’t love the gospel according to Aggie, in an age when soaps are fighting for survival and she is the only living example of the original soap opera writers and creators!
Y&R’s Clementine Ford (Mac) and I enjoyed our red carpet moment while her partner, songwriter extraordinaire Linda Perry, hid from us. Ford, who had recently admitted to quitting smoking in life in general, said it’s rough being in Vegas, especially in the smoke-filled rooms, hallways, casinos, and ... well everywhere: “There is so much smoke here I almost threw up.”
I echoed her sentiment.
On her current story line, in which Mac is being sued for her amniotic fluid from the twins she is carrying as a surrogate, Clementine weighed in: “He is suing me for my amniotic fluid ... I think it took me four tries to not burst into laughter, it so ridiculous. But also, it’s very dramatic, and there is some big stuff coming up.”
Ford’s mom, Cybill Shepherd, was recently honored by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation at the final awards ceremony of the year in San Francisco with the prestigious Golden Gate Award, which is given to an individual who has increased the visibility and understanding of LGBT people in the media. Clementine said it was a great moment for her family.
“My sister came with her girlfriend, and I came with Linda, who is being my assistant tonight. [Laughs] We got to give that award to my mom, and it was so nice to be there. Filmmaker Lee Daniels was also honored. He gave such a moving incredible speech. It was a great night.” | <urn:uuid:75b6f717-e80b-4f55-8de5-6eb29c96a9e1> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,787 |
We went to Darling Harbour near the Maritime Museum on Saturday with the Sydney Sketch Meetup group. It was a perfect day – 22 degrees. Maybe winter will be over soon. This is my third drawing and the one I’m happiest with.
With my first drawing I went straight in with the pen and the proportions weren’t correct. But once you’ve done those pen strokes, you have to go with it. So the next drawings I made some rudimentary marks to get the proportions correct before I drew.This red one took 45 minutes. A lot of that time was in putting on more and more red. The ship was bright glowing vermilion.
This drawing was from the other side of the same ship and it was done before the redder one. I experimented with a new Tombow pen I’d bought on Friday. I want to use my Tombow pens in this sketchbook, but I needed a pale grey for the shadow. I did the drawing in pen with grey Tombow first, then added colour.
The Bareki was actually the first drawing of the day, and the one when I learnt that with ships, it was best to put pencil proportions in first. I will try to draw it again one day soon. I have drawn a few ships in the last 12 months or so and they are more difficult than they look.
Some months ago I bought this book Painting & Drawing Boats and I can really recommend it. In fact anything by Moira Huntly I have three of hers now.
My big sunglasses have creamy semi-transparent frames. At this time of the year, when the sun is low in the sky, it gets inside the frames and the light flares. Raybans again for me next time. Yes, those colours really were in the shadows.
Organised chaos(today’s challenge) is the kitchen bench waiting for me to do the dishes. The breakfast dishes are in the sink,. but the coffee pot and the plastics are still on the bench. I couldn’t finish the dishes until I had captured the way the light was falling on the things on the bench. The red plastic dishes are the cats’ dishes. The green ginger jar holds my teabags. I finally did the dishes and rushed out to see the Archibald Prize exhibition.
This is Day Nine of Every Day in May and I’m still drawing. Today is ‘draw your watch’.
I prefer the one with the black face but it is old and scratched and sometimes stops. That’s why I have two. I only wear a Swatch now because I became allergic to the metal on the back of my old watches.
They stopped making the one with the black face and I was really sad about that.
I chose this bottle of fish sauce for the graphic qualities of the red label against the nearly black sauce. And not too much complications to draw on the label either!
Ayam Brand is an Indonesian brand. Ayam means chicken. I was surprised how much of their stuff I have. I do love Asian food, particularly Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian.
I stamped it with my chop that I had carved in 1982 at a Hangzhou Calligraphers’ Guild. Unfortunately though I have two lots of ink, they have dried up and I need more.
My parents were great chucker-outers so I have no childhood stuff. But somehow I ended up with this that belonged to my grandfather. Everyone (not only the family) called my grandmother and grandfather ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ so that’s how come the caption.
I was going to draw a few more things but I went out today and found out about a death of a someone I thought a lot of, some time ago. Nobody had thought to tell me till now, so not in the right frame of mind to draw. | <urn:uuid:329c4f8d-3d96-48c0-bb9d-f4a99caa4f37> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,398 |
We are all born procrastinators. Procrastination is usually harmless in small doses. For some this can be the difference between a productive work day and not getting the right things done in a work day. If this sounds like you it is likely that you need some help developing your focus and your time management skills. You might be surprised to learn that eve you can learn good time management skills. You just have to work hard at it and try not to let yourself get too distracted. Here are some time management tips that anybody can use to help them increase their focus and productivity.
Do your best, but don’t expect to be perfect. It’s definitely possible to improve your time management skills, but being perfect is not possible. People who demand perfection of themselves usually get results that are very imperfect. Life isn’t meant to be perfect. The more focus you put on being perfect, the less focus you will have on actually managing your time well and getting your work done. No schedule can be perfectly maintained. Nothing goes exactly the way you planned it. If you do your best, no one can expect more of you. Giving yourself some room to breathe is one of the best things you can do while you work at developing your time management skills.
Everyone has an internal clock, and you should follow yours as much as you can. Evenings are the most productive time of day for some people. “Morning people,” on the other hand, are at their best during the early hours of the day. Lots of other people, meanwhile, are somewhere in the middle and work best in the afternoon.
Try to accommodate your own natural rhythm when you schedule your day. The best time to work on activities that require a lot of focus is when you are naturally most energetic. This way you will be working with yourself instead of against your natural instincts. You’ll feel better about your progress!
Give yourself something to look forward to! Give yourself something to look forward to after you’ve completed your “to do” list. It’s human nature to work more productively when there’s a reward for doing well. Come up with a reward that’s appropriate for you. It doesn’t really matter what the reward is, as long as it provides you with an incentive to get the job done. This may seem like a small thing, but a reward can really make a difference in how you work. Rewards create some balance, so that you have more than just your work on your mind. It’s more fun to work knowing there will be a reward at the end of the day. Having fun actually helps you manage your time better. Time management skills are something that you develop gradually. Everyone is inefficient and disorganized at times. Diversions are everywhere. We all have lazy and unproductive days. Just keep moving forward as much as possible. As you practice your new habits, they will become natural. Soon you will find that you are getting more tasks completed than ever before. You won’t have to think about it anymore. Then your time management abilities will have reached a new level. | <urn:uuid:1286a4fa-a9cf-4afb-98d4-1c54f6d23fb8> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,047 |
Bicycles are a sustainable mode of transport particularly suited to urban environments. People choose to ride bikes, cycles, cycling or bicycles for both recreation and sport.
Competition sprint/track cycling occurs in Velodromes while Grand Tours, such as the most famous Tour de France take many days to complete.
Another competition style is bicycle motor cross or BMX. It is a form of off-road stunt and racing. Other organized rides include reliability trials, hill climbs, and challenge rides.
Mountain bikes developed as a downhill sport, and now includes various specialties including XC, trail, and endure.
Competitions are enjoyed by people of all ages, fitness levels, and genders around the world.
Bicycle touring, particularly in Europe, is a popular leisure activity often over long distances.
“Nothing compares to the simple
pleasure of riding a bike”
– John. F. Kennedy
Synonyms for the word cycling include; bicycle, bicycling, bike, biking, coast, cycle, dash, motor, roll, tailgate, wheel, bear down, burn rubber, fore up, floor it, sparks fly, step on it.
Peter Zapfella is not a psychologist, however, he has worked with elite competition cyclists who compete in both Velodrome sprints and Grand Touring, to assist them to overcome self-limiting beliefs and reach for their full potential.

Subliminal Affirmations; Welcome Better Cycling
When ‘Welcome’ subliminal affirmations are used to ‘lock-in’ the deep unconscious shift achieved following one-on-one therapy with Peter Zapfella the results can be nothing less than miraculous.
Change your self-talk and change your deep unconscious beliefs. These then change your behaviors and emotions. These then change your self-talk and so on.
The more the Welcome Better Cycling messages are repeated over and over, the more they are uncritically accepted by the deep unconscious. If you listen to the Welcome Better Cycling MP3 while sleeping, on ‘repeat’ your unconscious mind will hear this message almost 400 times every night. If you were to listen to the ‘Environmental – Lake waves’ MP3 while sleeping, you could choose to also listen to the ‘Pleasant piano and guitar melody’ and/or the ‘Zumba’ – Latin style dance music during the day. Then your deep unconscious would hear the affirmations repeated around 800 – 1200 times, while your logical conscious mind would hear it around 60 – 90 times. That’s powerful because a message repeated enough will become a new unconscious belief.
Also because we all have different listening preferences, Welcome Better Cycling has a choice of foreground variants for you to choose from. ‘Click here’ to hear samples.
Every one of us is unique. We have all had different life experiences and we react to them differently too.
Perhaps the cheapest and easiest option is to download and listen to Welcome Better Cycling subliminal affirmations as recommended. This approach is very effective for many people.
An alternative option is to consult with Peter using Skype to complete diagnostics and a one-on-one interview where he can recommend the most appropriate supplements, nutrition, MP3 resources etc etc for your individual challenge.
Otherwise, you can consider one-on-one psychotherapy tailored to you, the individual, using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy and perhaps cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) ‘Click’ on the skypetherapy.pro. image to read details.
If you had a bucket of mud (representing negative emotions and behaviors), but you wanted a bucket of clean freshwater (representing positive emotions and behaviors), you could put the bucket of mud under a tap and run fresh clean water (representing subliminal affirmations) into the bucket. You would still have a bucket of muddy water for a long time. That is why subliminal affirmations alone can take a lot of repetitions to achieve desired results. The effectiveness of any subliminal affirmation depends upon how often it is repeated and the intensity of the deep unconscious belief or presenting a challenge. Peter Zapfella uses his one-on-one therapies to ‘throw out’ or delete the mud (representing negative emotions and behaviors) and then you can choose to use the ‘Welcome’ subliminal affirmations to quickly and efficiently refill the bucket with fresh clean water (representing positive emotions and behaviors). No mud …
The Welcome Better Cycling MP3 is a resource designed to ‘lock-in’ the unconscious shifts following one-on-one therapy with Peter Zapfella worldwide via Skype. For more information go to www.skypetherapy.pro
Subliminal Affirmation Text: Welcome Better Cycling
“Throughout the day you constantly visualize yourself cycling as a world champion. You are highly motivated.
When training and competing in reality, in the mind you step into your visualization and repeat it, over and over again. You are focused and motivated about cycling more consistently and better than ever before.
The reputation of other riders means nothing because you know even the champions have their ‘bad’ days, and today is your ‘best’ day ever, because you only think positive thoughts. You push through the pain barrier, into an amazing adrenaline rush.
You are now more clear in the mind … because the burden has been lifted forever and ever now that you welcome better cycling.“
‘WELCOME’ SUBLIMINAL AFFIRMATIONS
ARE YOUR BEST CHOICE
The Welcome Better Cycling subliminal affirmations are clearly spoken once before they fade-down and ‘disappear’ from conscious awareness within masking music and environmental sounds, thereby foiling ‘adult’ conscious analytical thinking, which could otherwise ‘filter out’ messages. In this way, the listener knows for sure what their deep unconscious mind is hearing without listening to these messages its self.

Every Child Can Write! Learning and Teaching Written Expression in the 1980s.
Walshe, R. D.
Noting the improvement that has occurred in the teaching of writing since the introduction of the process approach to instruction, this book offers suggestions for still more improvement and for solving the problems that arise in the teaching of writing. The first section of the book stresses the importance of letting children write and of building a curriculum on writing, while the second section discusses the various stages of the writing process and how they can be incorporated into a balanced writing program. The third section reviews writing topics, detailing the problems of imposed topics and the secrets of successful ones. In addition, this section offers suggestions for assisting children in developing their topics in a number of subject areas. The fourth section discusses the conference approach to writing, stressing both its difficulties and its strengths. The fifth section poses 10 questions teachers should ask about writing, including: (1) What is the importance of writing? (2) What differences are there between speech and writing? (3) What are the stages in writing development? and (4) How can poetry writing be taught? The sixth section contains six special studies dealing with children's writing, and the last section offers tips for writing teachers in the areas of language usage, grammar, and style. (FL)

Several years ago, I was consulted by a young woman who was 33 weeks pregnant and was on her way to Kansas to get an abortion. I informed her of the multiple options available to her outside of abortion, and she decided to go through with the pregnancy even though the child had hydrocephalus and would require neurosurgical intervention a few weeks after birth.
She kept the baby and loves the beautiful child that has resulted.
A couple of decades ago, I came into the pediatric intensive care unit on morning rounds and was told about a 4-year-old girl who had been hit by an ice-cream truck and was comatose and exhibiting little neurological function other than reactive pupils. I tested her pupillary reflexes, and both pupils were fixed and dilated. The staff indicated to me that this was something that must have just occurred. I grabbed the bed and, with some help, transported her quickly to the operating room for an emergency craniotomy. I was met along the way by a senior neurosurgeon who told me I was wasting my time and that, at best, we would end up with someone in a vegetative state.
Nevertheless, we completed the operation, and a few days later, her pupils became reactive, and she eventually left the hospital. I saw her a few years ago walking through the hospital with her own 4-year-old little girl. She was neurologically fully intact and told me she had become somewhat of a celebrity because of the experience I just related.
What do these two stories have in common? They both involve precious lives that easily could have been discarded.
My entire professional life has been devoted to saving and enhancing lives. Thus, the thought of abortion for the sake of convenience does not appeal to me. I personally have met several people who told me their mothers had considered abortion but happily decided against it.
Most of us instinctively want to protect helpless creatures and sometimes go to great lengths to do so. The TV commercials about abused animals are poignant, and as a society, we sometimes delay or cancel large construction projects to protect an “endangered” insect, amphibian or fish.
Yet many of us turn a blind eye to the wanton slaughter of millions of helpless human babies, who are much more sophisticated than some of the other creatures, when nothing is at stake other than the convenience of one or both parents. I am not saying we should abandon our efforts to save baby seals and a host of other animals. I am saying: Shouldn’t we consider adding human fetuses and babies to the list?
Watching the human fetus develop is awe-inspiring. In less than three months from conception, the little hands and feet are quite recognizable, and distinct facial features characterize cute but very tiny human beings. From Day One, neurons of the brain are proliferating at a rate that will yield a staggering 100 billion neurons by birth. In a matter of nine months from conception, we have a living, breathing, eating, vocal human being who just two months later is socially interactive.
Some people oppose having pregnant women view ultrasonic pictures of their developing babies because they do not want an emotional bond to develop. Careful, unbiased contemplation, however, might yield the conclusion that such bonding is essential to the survival of mankind. Successful farmers nourish and protect their growing crops, and if conditions threaten their crops, they do what is necessary to protect them. Rather than attack the analogy, think about how much more precious a human life is than a stalk of corn.
It is important to try to understand the emotional state of young women seeking an abortion. Instead of judging and condemning them, we need to provide compassion and support. They need to be provided with easy access to adoption services and information about assistance available to them if they decide to keep the baby. I have visited many warm, inviting facilities around the country that exist solely for the purpose of helping these young women.
It is equally, if not more, important to reach these young women before they become pregnant. Forget about those politically correct people who say all lifestyles are equal, and inform those young women about the true consequences of out-of-wedlock birth for those who are not financially independent. We need to make sure they understand that they can provide a much better life for themselves and their children when they plan ahead and value themselves appropriately.
As a society, we cannot be afraid to discuss important social and moral issues. Our heritage as a nation is built on compassion, forgiveness and understanding. Courage is also vitally important, because those who stand on godly principles and values will be attacked. Attempting to characterize love and compassion for human life as a “war on women” is deceitful and pathetic. We the people must stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by those with agendas that do not include regard for the sanctity of life.

Today's the day you say... SCREW YOU!
One reason I feel people don't reach their goals is their environment, they are surrounded by:
1. People that judge what you eat for lunch
2. People that whinge when you don't drink in a bar
3. People that feel bad when you order something healthy off a menu in a restaurant
4. People that say your boring for going to bed at a normal time
5. People that find you crazy for MAKING time for exercise
6. People that make you feel guilty for being on a diet, or trying to make the right choice to reach your goal
Stand up to these people. Be strong. Stand by what you want. If you can't be who you are, be confident by your choices, and stay on the course because it is the right one for you, what chance do you have.
When someone says something, just smile politely, give your reason with CONFIDENCE, smile again, and in your head say what you are really thinking if they give you some stick for it.
Be confident with your choices.
Don't be influenced by others, cause it is only making THEM feel better, not YOU.
Be selfish, stand up for what you want.

After winning an Oscar for his turn as a Mexican cop in “Traffic,” Benicio Del Toro is heading south of the border again, as he’s nearing a deal to star opposite Emily Blunt in Denis Villeneuve‘s thriller “Sicario,” multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.
Taylor Sheridan penned the script, which follows a SWAT officer (Blunt) who travels to Mexico with a pair of mercenaries to track down a drug lord.
Del Toro will play an assassin hired by the U.S. government to help bring down the Cartels, which are responsible for the death of his family.
Villeneuve recently directed “Prisoners” and has had his eye on del Toro for some time, while Blunt is coming off strong female roles in “Looper” and the upcoming Tom Cruise action movie “Edge of Tomorrow.” The filmmaker is also attached to direct “Story of Your Life,” for which Amy Adams is in negotiations to star.
Del Toro can currently be seen opposite Mathieu Amalric in “Jimmy P,” which was plagued by poor reviews. He next stars as drug lord Pablo Escobar alongside Josh Hutcherson in “Paradise Lost,” and will soon be seen in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Paul Thomas Anderson‘s “Inherent Vice.” | <urn:uuid:bf11f58b-17b5-483a-929d-f249958b18f6> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,186 |

Former Marquette Coach Rick Majerus dies
Updated On: Dec 01 2012 11:05:02 PM CST
WISN 12 News has confirmed that former Marquette University basketball coach Rick Majerus has died.
Majerus, 64, was born in Sheboygan Falls and was an assistant coach at Marquette during the 1977 championship season. He became head coach in 1983, and later an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Majerus returned to college coaching and led Utah to the 1998 NCAA Championship Game.
Majerus most recently coached at St. Louis University before taking a medical leave of absence several months ago because of heart problems.
Majerus said Nov. 19 that he wouldn't return to Saint Louis because of his heart condition. He ended the school's 12-year NCAA tournament drought last season with a 26-win team that won its opening game and took top regional seed Michigan State to the wire. The Billikens were ranked for the first time since 1994-95.
Majerus had a history of heart problems dating to 1989. He had a stent inserted in August 2011 in Salt Lake City and missed some games in the 2011-12 season after gashing his leg in a collision with players.
“As an institution, a program, and as a coach, we are saddened by Coach Majerus’ passing," said current Marquette basketball coach Buzz Williams. "The game has lost one of the great innovators whose mark will never be forgotten. He will be missed by the entire college basketball community. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Majerus family."

Arsenal vs Portsmouth, 4-1: Four Stars Arsenal cruise past Pompey
Written by Hasmat on August 22, 2009 21:06
(Everton error in headline now corrected)
Arsenal continued their brilliant start to the season with a scintillating display against a depleted Portsmouth.
Abou Diaby marked his return from injury with a brace before Kaboul headed in a rare chance for the away side. Gallas restored the two goal lead with a header, and Ramsey steered clear of the defence to put Arsenal back on top of the table.
The Gunners’ first game of the season at the Emirates was greeted by a full crowd, all waving their free gifted Arsenal scarves. The home side came out the blocks right from the start. Eduardo was found on the left side, he skipped past his marker before driving into the box; squared to Diaby and the Frenchman placed his shot into the top corner to open the score. A blast that erupted the fans in North London.
20 minutes from time and Abou Diaby scored again. A Portsmouth corner cleared and the Gunners countered; Fabregas looped a ball over the defence onto the onrushing Eboue, he squared to the unmarked Diaby and he tapped home for his second goal of the game. Too easy!
Arsenal were on song and the away side were in danger of getting ripped apart. Arshavin casually mastered his way and cutting Portsmouth apart with his vision. The Russian found Fabregas in space in the box and the Arsenal captian look to find Eduardo for the third but somehow the away side cleared their lines. Fabregas and Diaby wasted more chances before a rare attack by Portsmouth saw Eboue tackle Utaka perfectly to deny a goal scoring opportunity.
Robin Van Persie was unlucky not to be on the scoresheet after seing all his efforts stopped by David James. The Dutchman first held his marker before turning swiftly onto his left foot unleashing a powerful drive, but James parried to safety. From a free kick, Van Persie look to curl the ball into the corner but David James flew to his right to push the ball away for a corner. The England keeper kept his team in it under the watchful eyes of Fabio Capello.
Paul Hart’s team were struggling to come back but had a chance from a free kick to unsettle the Arsenal back four. The towering Kabou headed in above Almunia to bring Porstmouth back into the game. 2-1!
In the second half, Pompey came out with renewed belief and attacked Arsenal. The on loan striker, Piquionne, proving to be a hassle for Arsenal, especially Kieran Gibbs. But any chance of a comeback was erased when Andrei Arshavin’s free kick was flicked by Van Persie, the ball rebounded off Vermaelen and hit Gallas in the face before finding its way into the corner via a deflection off the post.
Aaron Ramsey completed the rout when Van Persie thread a fine ball to cut the Pompey defence in half; the Welshman was onside and squeezed the ball into the corner much to the delight of Arsene Wenger. The Gunners have now scored 10 goals in two premier league games to show their ruthlessness in front of goals. | <urn:uuid:e4db59ef-7db2-49b1-a420-2bea989f2e93> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,020 |
The folks in the Reds Marketing department wanted to make sure I pass along some timely information about this year’s All-Star voting. Give it a quick read, and don’t forget to cast your ballots. It looks like Ken Griffey Jr. will need a final push from Reds fans to earn a starting role on the National League squad.
* * * * *
Only two days remain to cast your All-Star ballots for the 2006 All-Star Game at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park! Updated vote totals were posted yesterday, and Ken Griffey Jr. is just one spot away from a starting role on the team.
So Reds fan, he needs your help.
Here a few points to keep in mind:
- You can vote online up to 25 times, and it only takes five minutes or so to cast all 25 ballots.
- You MUST cast your ballots by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
- Don’t forget that you’ll need to "write in" Brandon Phillips (.310, 7 HR, 43 RBIs, 14 SBs) for second base and David Ross (.323, 10 HRs, 25 RBIs, 1.094 OPS) for catcher.
- Don’t worry about Bronson Arroyo (9-4, 2.58 ERA, 84 Ks). Fans can’t vote for pitchers, but we’re confident that Phil Garner, this year’s NL All-Star manager, has a spot reserved for him. | <urn:uuid:c8771114-88ab-4b5e-8ba1-bfd680dc9428> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,134 |

Fenugreek seeds are used in traditional medicine to treat kidney aliments and colds and to alleviate pain associated with arthritis. Several medical studies suggest that powder derived from the seeds may benefit auto-immune diseases such as arthritis. However, always seek the advice of a physician before starting any new treatment for a medical condition.
Trigonella foenum graecum, commonly known as fenugreek, has been widely cultivated for the culinary and medicinal values of its seeds. Experimentally, it has been demonstrated that the seeds possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective properties. The powder has been subject of medical research to investigate and manage metabolic syndromes associated with arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
Arthritis and Auto-immunity
Arthritis describes over 100 conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, is a result of trauma to the joint, infection, age or immunity-related disorders. Other forms of the disease include rheumatoid, psoriatic and septic arthritis. All are considered autoimmune diseases, where the body’s immune cells destroy its own tissues because of the breakdown of cartilage that normally protects the joints. Fenugreek has been shown to stall auto-immune disorders by acting as a mimic of estrogen, which is know to inhibit this condition. Therefore, fenugreek has been investigated as a possible estrogen replacement in the treatment of arthritis.
Fenugreek as an Estrogen Mimic
Estrogen-like compounds have been known to inhibit inflammation of tissue by activating pathways that counteract the effects of autoimmunity disorders. The June 2010 edition of the “Indian Journal of Medical Research” included a study that investigated the estrogenic effect of fenugreek to assess its capacity as an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy, which has been shown to treat inflammation associated with arthritis. The researchers found that fenugreek bound to estrogen receptors and acted as estrogen by influencing genetic activities and inducing the expression of estrogen-responsive proteins. The researchers claim to have provided evidence for estrogenic activities of fenugreek seeds as an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy in diseases influenced by estrogen such as arthritis.
Estrogen Action against Arthritis
The September 2010 issue of the “Journal of Clinical Immunology” included a study that investigated the pathology of increased concentrations of estrogen metabolites found in rheumatoid arthritis, RA, patients. The researchers used blood samples from RA patients and a healthy population of participants, as a control group, to monitor estrogen-dependent DNA activation. They found increased DNA activity in the RA patients as compared to the controls. The authors concluded that binding of estrogen metabolites to DNA might explain possible roles of estrogen-like compounds and act as an alternative indicator in the diagnosis of the disease.
Conflicting Report on the Therapeutic Effects of Fenugreek
Mutations of chromosomes lead to disruption of molecular processes and are often seen in arthritic conditions. In an article appearing in the May 2007 issue of the “Journal of Ethnopharmacology,” researchers used an aqueous extract of fenugreek traditionally used to treat inflammations and arthritis. Since arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, the toxicological properties and potential antimutagenic effects of fenugreek were investigated. The study showed that treatment with fenugreek extract significantly reduced the percentage of dead cells, but increased the frequency of chromosomal mutations. The authors concluded that aqueous extracts of the herb have neither protective nor antimutagenic activity, but rather a mutagenic potential leading to the development of other disorders. | <urn:uuid:e6e84b6f-94ab-4e53-8263-f1da50d6e249> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,861 |

The Best marbled pound cake is rich and moist. No frosting is required.
Imagine my surprise this morning while cleaning out a drawer, when I came across a old recipe for yet another version of pound cake.
While our go-to recipe is Uncle Wen’s lemon pound cake, the family would never refuse any baked goods which included chocolate and vanilla!
This “Recipe Of The Month” comes from a long forgotten cookbook membership subscription.
It was a printed as a review for a newly published cookbook in the Farm Journal collection – Homemade Ice Cream and Cake – a new collection of recipes by the food editors at the Farm Journal.
The cookbook is not part of my extensive collection but I did try the recipe! You should too.
Who does not like ice cream and cake? Along with some incredible recipes for home made ice cream, the collection came with recipes for irresistible cakes including this Marbled Pound Cake.
Our ice cream machine is long gone but this cake recipe was kept safe and obviously well hidden.
This marbled pound cake is so rich and moist you won’t need any icing or frosting. My preference is for a dusting of powdered sugar!
This marbled pound cake is very buttery and moist. If you would like a richer chocolate color, increase the amount of cocoa by two or three tablespoons.
What flavor ice cream do you serve with this cake? Chocolate or French Vanilla? We serve French Vanilla.
Nutritional Information: We do not have any specific nutritional information available, but the ingredients speak for themselves – the resulting cake is loaded with calories!
Keywords: cake, bundt pan, pound cake

Take a leaf out of the book of Swindon residents and get checking your double bed, children's beds and even your guest beds for bed bugs! The Swindon Advertiser reported this week that the town was suffering from 47 separate infestations of bed bugs across the town.
Justin Holloway, managing director of local pest control company Prokill Thames West, told the newspaper: "Short of setting them on fire, it's going to take multiple attempts to get them under control", indicating that they were dedicated to fighting the cause.
Bed bugs can be detected by their distinctive smell of over-ripe raspberries, insect bites on the body, or spots of blood on the bed. They can also be seen with the naked eye, though they are very small - adult bugs are up to 5mm long and 3mm wide. If you spot any of these clues call your local pest control immediately, as once you are infested bed bugs are tricky to get rid of by yourself! | <urn:uuid:11223790-c712-4eca-8324-3c900edbaa86> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 922 |

If you’re familiar with dentures, you probably know that they’re a tried-and-true solution when it comes to tooth replacement, and they’ve assisted countless patients across multiple generations with compromised smiles. That said, if you’re considering getting them as a solution for your lost teeth, you might be wondering if they can be worn 24/7—after all, no one should want to endure even one moment with gaps in their grin! Here’s more from your dentist about dentures and why it’s important to wear them as often as intended, along with some tips for keeping them intact.
Why You Shouldn’t Wear Your Dentures All Day, Every Day
Even though dentures are designed to replace your teeth and restore your oral functionality, wearing your dentures 24/7 is not advisable. There are several reasons for this, including:
- Dentures can cause tissue damage when worn too often; any soft tissue that is continually covered by a denture is never exposed to air and won’t remain healthy; not to mention, you’ll be creating a favorable environment for bacterial growth.
- Constantly wearing dentures can result in a condition called “denture stomatitis” which is characterized by inflammation and a burning sensation. It’s worth noting that this chronic inflammation can weaken the body’s immune system, which can increase a patient’s chances of contracting something like pneumonia or another illness.
- Dentures put added pressure on the gum tissue and bony ridges that support them, meaning that constant pressure from wearing dentures all day and night can accelerate bone resorption, the process that results in a gradual decrease in bone matter density.
- If you’re wearing your dentures 24/7, you typically won’t spend as much time cleaning them as you should—which can cause problems for your oral health and dentures alike.
Tips for Keeping Your Dentures in Great Shape
If you want to keep your dentures in great shape, it’s important to know how often they need to be worn and how they need to be maintained. Here are some tips to help you keep your restoration in the best possible shape:
- Remove your dentures at night so that your soft gum tissues have the chance to breathe and recover from wearing your dentures throughout the day. This will greatly prevent and reduce tissue irritation and inflammation.
- Clean your dentures as needed (nighttime is often the perfect opportunity to soak them) so that plaque isn’t allowed to harden into tartar on the surface. Brush the surfaces of your dentures daily and soak them in their dedicated cleaning solution a few times every week.
- Continue to visit your dentist so that they can ensure your restoration serves you well moving forward and that your mouth is a healthy and suitable environment for it.
In short, a denture should be worn most of the time, but certainly not all of the time as it can lead to some uncomfortable complications. That said, knowing the reasoning behind this and understanding how to make your restoration last will ensure that your smile looks and functions as intended!

Ikea has a new advertisement that’s running in a Swedish magazine and asks women to pee on the page in order to learn about a discount.
Once a woman urinates on a strip in the ad, a discount is revealed only if she is pregnant, according to a story in Ad Week.
“Peeing on this ad may change your life,” reads the promotion in the magazine Amelia, a popular women’s magazine.
It continues: “This ad is also a pregnancy test. Pee on the marked area and wait a moment. If you are expecting, you will get a surprise right here in the ad.”
The ad uses technology similar to what’s in an at-home pregnancy test, according to Ad Week.
In a home pregnancy test, if a woman has enough of the pregnancy hormone hCG, the test strip will change colour to indicate she’s pregnant. In the Ikea ad, if a woman has enough hCG, the page reveals that a black-brown SUNDVIK crib that costs 995 krona will be on sale for 495 krona.
It is unclear if the woman has to bring the pee-soaked ad into the store to get the rebate. Ad week writes that it may be “a bit gross…but there’s a fun twist.”
Ikea’s emailed response?
“IKEA products are inspired by life itself and are all a big part of the everyday life at home. Life contains those magical, life-changing moments, and IKEA wants to be right there when they happen.
This ad was created as part of the ‘where life happens’ campaign for the Swedish market only and has been published in a limited edition of the Swedish magazine Amelia. There are no plans to place this ad in other markets…” | <urn:uuid:bb955195-4fa9-422e-8f4d-f4c0c514097a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,520 |
Mucin-1: Carbohydrate antigen elevated in patients with tumors of the breast, ovary, lung, and prostate as well as other disorders. The mucin is expressed normally by most glandular epithelia but shows particularly increased expression in the breast at lactation and in malignancy.

South of downtown Minneapolis, Nicollet Avenue hosts a diverse mix of restaurants, coffee shops and ethnic grocery stores that reflect the neighborhood. But the artery connecting north and south Minneapolis ends abruptly in an empty cul-de-sac before 29th Street. Those willing to squeeze through a space between two fences will find themselves standing before a huge mural covering most of the back of a Kmart store. The Kmart is a focal point of a 1970s redevelopment that bulldozed several commercial buildings and interrupted Nicollet.
“The neighborhood was never enthusiastic about having Nicollet blocked,” said Marian Biehn of the Whittier Alliance. “At the time that Kmart was completed, there was a decision made to offer an olive branch to calm the neighborhood, so it was decided that a mural would be painted on the north side.”
The city of Minneapolis is negotiating to try to reopen the street. A symbol of the fight to keep the street open in the first place may be lost.
A proposal for the mural in 1978 argued that Kmart’s participation in the mural would be “an enormous gesture of goodwill that cannot be equaled by other public relations efforts.
“It is a means to begin the healing process in the neighborhood, to erode the serious divisions that currently exist,” according to the proposal by a group called City Art Productions. “[T]he mural project is a way for the neighborhood to lay the issue of the closing of Nicollet Avenue to rest, once and for all. The mural will bring to closure the hard feelings that have existed.”
Longtime Whittier resident Marilyn Lindstrom was one of six artists who worked on the mural. She and others in the neighborhood opposed locating the Kmart store over what she calls “the central intersection of our city and of our neighborhood.”
She said some Whittier residents were offended that there wasn’t a store entrance on the north side of the store.
“Even after we lost the struggle of trying to save Nicollet Avenue, and save all of those beautiful old buildings and stores and part of the city, Kmart really didn’t listen to the neighborhood’s concerns,” Lindstrom said. “We didn’t want the back of the store, that’s normally out in the suburbs facing a corn field, facing our neighborhood.”
A group of community members selected the mural design from a handful of submissions.
The first panel shows a man in a suit, representing big business, walking through a neighborhood. He passes a battleship representing the struggle over the closure of Nicollet Avenue. He then begins to close the door. The final panel shows just the brick wall.
“You see this man in the suit closing the door on the neighborhood, that’s really what is happening there,” Lindstrom said. “For us it meant closing the neighborhood and becoming the wall, just a grey wall.”
If the city does succeed in finally reopening Nicollet Avenue, Lindstrom would like to see the mural remembered.
“You can make a really nice long-lasting photo, and then it can tell the story as we saw it, as the artists who participated in our community, we could tell that story on a small plaque or next to it,” Lindstrom said. “I think it would be a really interesting and important part of history.”
A spokesperson for Kmart didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. | <urn:uuid:f1cc2666-cfb8-4443-a716-d550ce3fe6d8> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,291 |

Facebook’s Stratospheric Earnings Multiple (Deal Journal)
So yeah, as you knows, Mr. Softy paid $240 million for a mere sliver of Facebook, giving the company a $15 billion valuation. This is the valuation that everyone has been talking about... but it still sort of hits you in the gut when it's actually announced. Deal Journal puts it into some perspective: "The Redmond, Washington-based company’s $240 million investment in Facebook values the social-networking Web site at 500 times its estimated 2007 earnings of $30 million, based on figures from this Wall Street Journal article. That’s right, unlike past meteoric technology risers, the three-year-old company is actually profitable. Facebook’s valuation also equates to 100 times its $150 million of annual revenue. To put a valuation like that into perspective, if you slapped it on General Electric, the industrial conglomerate would have a market cap of $11 trillion, just $1 trillion short of the total U.S. GDP." Granted, such analysis doesn't offer too much, other than to say that a $15 billion valuation is, er, lofty, to say the least.

Then again, if you had to pay $240 million for a slice in Facebook, or $250 million to pay off a patent lawsuit, we'd probably take the former. You would too, no?
PetroChina Threatens To Unseat Exxon Mobil (Forbes)
It's almost surprising this hasn't happened already... PetroChina is getting closer to assuming the #1 spot for the world's largest oil company. The US-listed company is getting set to sell shares in Shanghai, and if there's anyone more crazy about China stocks than the US, it's the Chinese. Of course, it's not so much about valuation there as much as it is supply and demand (ok, technically it's the same here, but you know what we're saying).
Progress in California Fires (WSJ)
Unfortunately for the California economy, some measures have worked in containing the big fire. Guess that means limited insurance payments and stimulus for the region's beleaguered housing segment. If only the regional economy had some other means of profiting from a big deadweight loss... oh wait.

Don't worry Wall St., there are layoffs in other industries too. You're not alone. GlaxoSmithKline has sacking 5.8 percent of its workers, as its Avandia diabetes drug faces troubles? Think fast: what drugs aren't either facing a)lawsuits b) generic competition c)allegations of inefficacy?
Reports Suggest Broader Losses From Mortgages (NYT)
Our favorite phrases of all time are typically a long the lines of "we expect losses to hit $100 million, though they're likely to higher". You hear it a lot, with things like losses, catastrophe damages, lives lost in the war, crude prices, earnings, etc. Anyway, it seems safe to predict that any current loss estimates will likely spiral even higher. The latest is that total mortgage-related losses could hit $400 billion, although even then they could be looking to narrow. Meanwhile, a $5 billion writedown here, $7 billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money.
China Says Economy Grew 11.5% (NYT)
....Aaaaand once again, no signs of a cooling in the Chinese economy. Turns out that modest increases in reserve requirements aren't having much of an intended effect... not surprising at all, really. At this point, you have to figure that the technocrats in charge are of two camps. There's probably the side that's totally freaking out right now, worried that if the bubble is pricked there are going to be mass riots and they're all going to get hanged in the middle of the square. That camp has emergency plans to get out of the country and decamp to Namibia. Meanwhile, the other half isn't thinking like that at all. They're living high off the land, enjoying every last minute of the boom. And if it all bursts, they'll deal with that then.
NYC tries again to get calories on menus (AP)
Looks like the public health fascists are at it again. Not content with taking transfats off the menu, they now want calorie listings on everything. The original plan had been struck down by a judge, but never doubt the ingenuity of those looking to regulate public lifestyle's. They now say it's been reworded to abide by, you know, the constitution.
Minimum-Tax Fix May Cost Buyout Firms, Hedge Funds $48 Billion (Bloomberg)
Couple stories this morning about the Dems getting ancy about taxation. That is to say, they're in no mood to wait until the election to push the tax issue. They're starting now, even if it potentially costs them the next election. So yeah, House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel is looking to add mondo taxes, particularly to the likes of hedge and PE funds, though that would help pay for a curb on the AMT. Another way to deal with this issues -- and this is just a modest suggestion from a blogger -- would be to eliminate the AMT... and then curb spending.

- What is the pancreas?
- What is an artificial pancreas device system (APDS)?
- Illustration: Artificial pancreas
The pancreas is an organ in the body that secretes several hormones, including insulin and glucagon, as well as digestive enzymes that help break down food. Insulin helps cells in the body take up glucose (sugar) from the blood to use for energy, which lowers blood glucose levels. Glucagon causes the liver to release stored glucose, which raises blood glucose levels.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces little or none of the insulin needed to regulate blood glucose. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to the insulin that is present. Patients with type 1 diabetes and some patients with type 2 diabetes inject insulin, and occasionally glucagon, to regulate their blood glucose, which is critical to lower their risk of long-term complications such as blindness, kidney failure and cardiovascular disease.
When managing diabetes, many patients must vigilantly test blood glucose with a glucose meter, calculate insulin doses, and administer necessary insulin doses with a needle or insulin infusion pump to lower blood glucose. Glucagon may be injected in an emergency to treat severe low blood glucose. Some patients benefit from additional monitoring with a continuous glucose monitoring system.
For more information on what diabetes is and how it is treated and managed, refer to the following websites:
- National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK)
- National Diabetes Education Program
The ideal APDS will be a system of devices that closely mimics the glucose regulating function of a healthy pancreas.
Most researchers in this area are currently studying an APDS consisting of two types of devices already familiar to many people with diabetes: a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) and an insulin infusion pump. A blood glucose device (such as a glucose meter) is used to calibrate the CGM.
A computer-controlled algorithm connects the CGM and insulin infusion pump to allow continuous communication between the two devices. Sometimes an artificial pancreas device system is referred to as a “closed-loop” system or an “autonomous system for glycemic control.”
In the future, an APDS will not only monitor glucose levels in the body but also automatically adjust the delivery of insulin to reduce high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) and minimize the incidence of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) with little or no input from the patient.
The FDA is collaborating with government and private researchers to foster innovation by clarifying agency expectations for clinical studies and product approvals, which will accelerate the development of an APDS. On October 11, 2012, the FDA released a final guidance document that addresses requirements for clinical studies and premarket approval applications for and artificial pancreas device system, and provides a flexible regulatory approach that will support the rapid, safe and effective development of artificial pancreas device systems.
Other countries may have already made a low glucose suspend system available to patients in their countries. The FDA’s public health mission is to foster medical device innovation as well as assure that medical devices are safe and effective for U.S. patients. As of now, the FDA has not reviewed sufficient safety and effectiveness data to have approved an artificial pancreas device system for use in the U.S.
The illustration below describes the parts of a type of artificial pancreas device system and depicts how they work together.
- Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). A CGM provides a steady stream of information that reflects the patient’s blood glucose levels. A sensor placed under the patient's skin (subcutaneously) measures the glucose in the fluid around the cells (interstitial fluid) which has been found to correlate with blood glucose levels. A small transmitter sends information to a receiver. A CGM continuously displays both an estimate of blood glucose levels and their direction and rate of change of these estimates.
- Blood Glucose Device (BGD). Currently, to get the most accurate estimates of blood glucose possible from a CGM, the patient needs to periodically calibrate the CGM using a blood glucose measurement from a BGD; therefore, the BGD still plays a critical role in the proper management of patients with an APDS. However, over time, we anticipate that improved CGM performance may obviate the need for periodic blood glucose checks with a BGD.
- Control algorithm . A control algorithm is software embedded in an external processor (controller) that receives information from the CGM and performs a series of mathematical calculations. Based on these calculations, the controller sends dosing instructions to the infusion pump. The control algorithm can be run on any number of devices including an insulin pump, computer or cellular phone. There is no requirement by the FDA that the control algorithm must reside on the insulin pump.
- Infusion pump. Based on the instructions sent by the controller, an infusion pump adjusts the insulin delivery to the subcutaneous tissue.
- The Patient. The patient is an important part of APDS. The concentration of glucose circulating in the patient’s blood is constantly changing. It is affected by the patient’s diet, activity level, and how his or her body metabolizes insulin and other substances. | <urn:uuid:1523ccf4-e6cf-4437-a61f-2827945442aa> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,569 |

Poker and Texas Hold’em are not the same thing. Texas Hold’em is a community card game, one of the thre variations of poker. Other variants include Stud and Draw Poker. All poker games are played by two or more players who compete to try and make the best hand by using a defined hand ranking system. Now that you know how Texas Hold’em is just one of many poker games, let’s discuss a few of its variations. Think of this as a crash course on everything poker.
As with any other popular game, poker has many offshoots. Texas Holdem is still the prime, king style of poker that the majority of people worldwide play. But there are also other types that are fighting for their spot under the Sun. Seven Card stud was in the last 50 years what Texas is today, the most popular type.
Therefore, you should remember that there is no difference between poker and Texas Holdem since one name simply overlaps another. While you can find many casino variations of poker that are even similar to slots, for most of these games, there is some strategy involved, and you can actually make educated decisions.
Is there a difference between Texas Hold’em and poker? The key difference between the two is the number of hole or pocket cards received by each player. Hole cards are those that are dealt (face down) to each player in the starting of game. In Texas Holdem, a player gets two hole cards while in Omaha poker, the player receives four cards.
The first difference between Omaha poker and Texas Holdem poker is the number of hole cards dealt to each player before the flop. In Texas Holdem, each player is dealt two cards. But, in Omaha poker, each player is dealt four hole cards. This factor means that making big hands in Omaha is significantly easier.
Oppositely to this, in regular poker, limits can vary significantly depending on the game’s specific variation. For example, in No-limit Texas Hold’em, you can risk any amount of money you have in front of you at any point. The strategy of such play aside, this is an option you simply don’t have in video poker games. | <urn:uuid:37d2ddb3-ec96-425c-ae58-b99c609be17f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,790 |
I really enjoy this fragrance, on my first trip to America I found Bath and Body Works and loved this scent. When I returned later on I went back and stocked up :) The scent is light and feminine and sweet which I really love.
Yes - Sweet Pea is very sweet .And as it is most likely designed for the 14-20 year old girl demographic ,it seems to succeed at it's mission.The lotion is nice -very sweet and long lasting scent (someone abandoned a partial bottle at work -so I tried some) .I have since bought a travel size set .I consider this scent (and brand ) to be in the cheap and cheerful/ fun buy scents.
A very sweet, one-trick pony. It's not sugar-sweet, but rather flower-sweet, and while it isn't particularly offensive to the nose, there's nothing special about it. I imagine that the musk anchors it just enough from turning into something unpleasant; the freesia, rhubarb, and raspberry are lost in it, which might be a good thing.
It doesn't have much of a personality and doesn't match most people, but on one of my friends -- an optimistic but quiet girl -- it's somehow just right. | <urn:uuid:69a9108f-87f0-4177-af45-403ed71575da> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,096 |
Regular commercial refrigerator maintenance and care will allow your walk-in cooler or freezer to work properly and last over time. Unfortunately, like any appliance, repairs are sometimes needed. If you catch problems early on, you can decrease the chance of having to make costly emergency repairs. Watch out for the warning signs listed below and make an appointment with a repair center if you notice your walk-in seems to be malfunctioning.
Here are a few signs that may help you recognize when it is time to schedule a service call:
Frost build-up could mean temperatures are dramatically changing causing items to melt then refreeze. Frost can also mean that humidity levels are off and there is excess condensation in your walk-in cooler. Frost build up near your door may indicate that is it not sealing properly and warm air is able to leak in. Be sure to check door gaskets for damage.
Your walk-in should maintain a nearly constant temperature. Temperature fluctuations aren’t good for your inventory. These fluctuations may be caused by a malfunctioning sensor. Make sure that walk-in doors aren’t being propped open for long periods of time, allowing warm air to enter the unit and cause it to work harder in order to regulate temperatures.
Coolant leaks are often accompanied by strange or stale smells. If you notice a weird smell in your walk-in it may mean that your coolant is leaking and your condenser is old or malfunctioning.
Odd noises in your walk-in often mean that your cooler is experiencing mechanical problems and needs repair. A service technician will be able to figure out where the noise is coming from and what the next step is to keep your walk-in functioning properly.
Faulty, old insulation and damaged seals can both contribute to water leak problems. Water leaks can lead to mold or mildew growth and require prompt action and repair.
While repairs are never fun to deal with, catching them before they progress or damage inventory is helpful when it comes to keeping costs down. Alert employees of the different repair warning signs above so you can deal with any problems or malfunctioning walk-in components early on.
At Avalonair we are experienced in all aspects of sales, installation and repair of all your commercial refrigeration. If you need any further information or would like to book an appointment, then please use our contact form or give us a call on 914-207-7167. | <urn:uuid:bba6fb7d-75c7-4865-830c-3928e92c130e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,421 |

However, I guess she could pull a Michael Jordan, and after a few years of relaxation feel that itch in her bones and start playing again; more so than in other sports, where being 40+ won't be a detriment.

New instalment scheme for deferred VAT payments
VAT-registered businesses were pleased in Spring 2020 to learn that they could defer their VAT payments, however, unsurprisingly, the Treasury is now calling time on the money it is owed.
The good news is that in order to help businesses manage their cashflow, the UK Government will allow businesses who have a deferred VAT Payment due from the period between 20 March 2020 and 30 June 2020 to pay in instalments.
Businesses can pay the full amount on or before 31 March 2021 or opt, before 21st June 2021, to pay in up to 11 equal instalments, interest free. The maximum number of instalments reduces from March to June as the balance must be cleared by end January 2022.
Michael Fotheringham, James Milne Chartered Accountants partner, commented: “This is very welcome news for businesses across the UK. Many business owners breathed a sigh of relief a year ago when VAT payments were deferred. A sudden, and relatively unexpected lockdown of the UK economy meant drastically reduced cashflows, and it was right that the Government recognised that, firms would find it a challenge to pay large tax bills when the doors were closed.
“Paying the deferred VAT bill in instalments is a sensible way for the Treasury to recoup its money. It allows business owners to plan their cashflow over the next few months – during a time when their businesses are still likely to be affected by the pandemic.
“The payments are interest-free, and must be paid in equal amounts, so the sooner businesses sign up to the instalment programme the better.
“Of course, there are a number of pre-requisites before businesses can join the scheme including being up to date with VAT returns, having submitted all VAT returns during the last four years, and ensuring that any errors on submitted returns are corrected.”
The new VAT deferral scheme is open online now. Any business on the VAT Annual Accounting Scheme or Payment on Account Scheme will also be invited to join during March 2021.back | <urn:uuid:3359a8ef-7efe-4fbf-b396-f4b2093b1da3> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,022 |
An eye opening opinion was recently issued in the case of ECIMOS, LLC v. Carrier Corp., Case Nos. 19-5436; 19-5519 (US 6th Cir. August 21, 2020). The case involved various breach of contract, copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims related to heating, ventilation and cooling systems. After trial, the jury found in favor of the plaintiff. In particular, the jury found that the defendant had breached various contract provisions, that the plaintiff possessed both copyrights and trade secrets related to database computer sources codes, that the defendant had infringed the plaintiff’s copyright and misappropriated trade secrets related thereto. The jury awarded $7.5 million in money damages.
The plaintiff had also sought injunctive relief from the court such as an order barring the defendant from future disclosure and/or use of the plaintiff’s source code. Normally, such injunctive relief would issue as a matter of course.
However, in the ECIMOS case, the court did NOT issue the typical injunctive relief. Yes, the court DID order the defendant to cease and desist from disclosing or using the database source code, BUT then the court stayed its order with respect to use of the source code. Astonishingly, the court allowed the defendant to continue using the plaintiff’s trade secrets and copyright-protected source code until the defendant could create and implement its own new, non-infringing database as long as the defendant paid court-approved licensing fees. The court appointed a special court officer to oversee the temporary use of the plaintiff’s IP, to determine the adequacy of the licensing fee and to ensure payment by the defendant. The defendant has now been using the plaintiff’s IP under this compulsory licensing arrangement for nearly two years.
The trial court justified this unusual decision by noting that the jury had found that the misappropriation of trade secrets had caused no detriment to the plaintiff. In legal terms, the trade secret misappropriation did not result in recoverable compensable damages. Because of this, the trial court concluded that preventing use of the trade secrets would not help the plaintiff since it would not prevent any additional harm. Somehow, the court then concluded that it could, therefore, order a compulsory licensing arrangement between the parties (with, of course, as licensing fees — as set by the court — being paid)? One wonders if employment relationships could be created in this manner.
Unfortunately for the plaintiff, on appeal, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court. Without citing legal authority or logic, the court affirmed the US federal courts have the power to order parties into compulsory IP licensing arrangements.
This and other legal trends raise the question of whether we are entering an age of compulsory licensing fees. For example, in the music industry, the Mechanical Licensing Collective (“MLC”) will begin making royalty payments in mid-2021. The MLC was authorized by the Music Modernization Act passed by Congress in 2018. The MLC is a compulsory licensing arrangement between song-writers, musicians, producers and other artists in the music industry with online streaming and downloading services. There is no “opt-out” for the artists and other owners of copyrighted music and compositions. The streaming and download services will have access to and the ability to sell and perform all compositions and will pay royalties over to the MLC. The MLC will then issue royalty payments to artists.
Royalties may sound great, but the compulsory nature of the MLC licensing arrangement — and cases like ECIMOS — should raise weighty concerns about liberty and property rights. Issues with respect to takings and involuntary servitudes come to mind. Could other types of compulsory licensing relationships be ordered under the court’s “no [economic] harm” theory (as long, of course, as licensing fees are paid)?

Given a key only you know, you can cryptographically sign your data and hand it over to someone else. When you get the data back you can ensure that nobody tampered with it.
The receiver can see the data, but they can not modify it unless they also have your key. So if you keep the key secret and complex, you will be fine.

For the whole two of you that are reading my blog right now, I thank you (and wonder why). I've appreciated your responses and I'm glad to be back, too.
I thought I might give you a little explanation as to why all I keep writing about is my RA. I've been fighting a flare for 5 years now. We've made a lot of progress but it's come with a great price in my health. Sounds wrong, right? Here's what I mean...last year we managed to make a shoulder that hurt so bad it nearly drove me to the edge better with cortisone injections. Those injections drove me straight to the hospital for a 5 day stay because my adrenal glands shut down and I went into shock, my endocronologist said he had never seen levels as low as mine before.
I'm constantly saying to my husband that my people (friends and family) don't get what it's like to live every day life with RA and it finally clicked, that's because no one talks about it, no one writes it down because it would just seem like one long WHINE. So, I decided to write...about the good and the bad. Right now the bad outweighs the good, in a few weeks I'm going to travel to Arizona and while it will be difficult and I'm scared to death, I know it will also be good...and maybe my body will give me a break for a little bit.
I'm much more positive now then I was even a year ago (yes, I heard a few of you fall off your chairs) and yes, I agree that attitude is everything. But I think being real is important too. Can you live a good life with RA? Hell yes! Will it be easy? Hell no!
So my peeps, I won't bore you to death in person, or by text or even on the phone. If you want to know how I'm doing read here. It may be hard but I'm worth it and if you truly love me you won't just stand by me during the good times but try to understand me all the time. | <urn:uuid:af65aa21-e799-4e27-9e43-ff46a92482d1> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,801 |

Funding announced for Wreck Point expansion and walking trail
Wreck Point will receive a funding boost of $320,000 for the creation of a walking track and viewing point to encourage more visitors to the area.
The Turnbull Government is providing funding of $148,800 through the Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure program for the design and construction of a new walking track and viewing point below the current Wreck Point Lookout. Additional funding is being provided by Livingstone Shire Council.
The new viewing point will have timber decking, picnic tables and seating, as well as a fixed viewing telescope to view the offshore islands.
Local Federal Member, Michelle Landry MP, said this project aims to attract more visitors to experience the natural beauty of the area.
“The views from Wreck Point are spectacular and it is great to see how many visitors stop at Stage 1 of the lookout at Cooee Bay.
“This funding will enhance the experience by providing seating areas so visitors will stay a little longer and a walking track to link to the beach, making this a destination in its own right.
State Member for Keppel Brittany Lauga said tourism is a $25 billion dollar industry in Queensland and an investment in tourism was an investment in local jobs.
“This funding is a boost in supporting tourism experiences in our regional areas, playing a role in attracting visitors and building a strong economy for our community.
“We need to keep providing visitors with new experiences and quality services to keep them coming back”.
The Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure programme will invest $43.1 million over four years, including $7.9 million in Queensland | <urn:uuid:c65a4428-c4e1-487b-8072-5fe3f28c97fa> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,668 |
Western Lake Erie is too big to correct its noxious algae problem with large doses of aluminum sulfate, or alum, alone. Still, alum treatments appear to be having at least a limited positive effect on Grand Lake St. Marys.
At 12,500 acres, Grand Lake St. Marys is the largest open body of water in Ohio. Like Lake Erie, its recreational activities are afflicted by algae.
The state of Ohio has spent $8.5 million to apply alum to 4,900 acres of Grand Lake St. Marys over the past two summers. The compound is supposed to keep algae from feeding on its main food source, phosphorus.
This year’s drought cut off the farm runoff that feeds Lake Erie algae. But algae in Grand Lake St. Marys rely more heavily on phosphorus embedded in lake sediment, so this year’s dry conditions did not do as much to curb algae there.
Preliminary alum results for Grand Lake St. Marys look good, according to a researcher. But the success needs to be quantified for state officials to decide whether to apply more.
No matter what results emerge, Ohio may need to take more than a two-and-out approach using alum to generate more data, especially in non-drought years. More-proactive efforts are needed to keep runoff and untreated household waste out of Ohio waterways.
The most cost-effective way to manage natural resources is to prevent pollution. Alum treatments are, at best, short-term responses to algae.
Ohio needs to enhance wetlands statewide and, when necessary, dredge the most polluted sediment from Grand Lake St. Marys. Alum research can help unlock algae mysteries. But it is no panacea for what ails Ohio’s lakes. | <urn:uuid:826567a5-0121-482e-8545-f100b2b2cec4> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,612 |
This is an old standby for peanut butter cookies for us gluten-freers. But I am not kidding, this actually makes the best peanut butter cookies. The other firefighters always have Andy make these. They call him Keebler, and they tell him to go Keeble (it’s their verb for make cookies).
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla (optional)
Mix all ingredients together. Place drops of dough on cookie sheet (size is up to you). Use a fork to make crisscross patterns (this is easy to do without sticking if you will keep your fork in a glass of ice water when not using it). Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes. Watch them, so you will know when it’s best to take them out. When they start to brown, and just barely give off a smell of burning peanut butter, then they are done. Let cool partially on cookie sheet, then twist to remove, and put on cooling rack.
Chocolate chips go great in these cookies, without having to change anything else. You can also use 1/2 chunky and 1/2 creamy peanut butter. In the past, I have made “trail mix” cookies using half chunky peanut butter (and half creamy), and adding some chocolate chips and raisins. | <urn:uuid:143810f2-9f73-4263-b073-8291ebdb2f2f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,151 |
Hard as it might be to believe, you can see plenty of stars in New York City that aren’t on Broadway or in the movies. Plus, you don’t even need to bring your own telescope (or autograph book). Read on for our five favorite stargazing experiences. By Jessica Allen.
Inwood Astronomy Project
Most weekends, barring inclement weather or a special celestial event that might necessitate another night, Jason Kendall faithfully lugs a high-powered telescope to the top of Inwood Hill Park, and stays from dark until past midnight, seeing what there is to see, with whomever shows up. (Follow him on Twitter or join the Facebook group for specifics.) “Hey, the drug dealers know me,” Jason will explain to anyone who wonders about safety. “And nobody comes up here anyway. Too dark. It’s more dangerous during the day.” The night we went, we saw Jupiter.
Stargazing on the High Line
From dusk to 9:30 or so on Tuesdays, from April to October, amateurs and experts gather for an evening of seeing the stars from one of the nicest parks in Manhattan. Folks from the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York are on hand to help you focus the telescopes, explain the difference between a supergiant and supernova, and understand the night sky. When you’re finished gazing, you can do some grazing at one of the nearby food stands, including barbecue from SmokeLine and pretzels from Sigmund’s.
Columbia Astronomy Public Outreach
The Astronomy Department at Columbia University regularly hosts public outreach programs to introduce laypeople to the wonders above. The program typically begins with a short lecture about such topics as whether we’re alone in the universe and why dark matter matters. After that, and weather permitting, you’ll head outside for 90 minutes of observation. On the rare occasion you can’t see anything from one of the department’s portable telescopes, you can still take a tour of the university’s observatory (the dome atop Pupin Hall) and watch slideshows of past viewings or solar events.
Amateur Astronomers Association of New York
It’s easy to forget that our sun is actually a star. And that’s part of the reason why the Amateur Astronomers Association (AAA) holds its solar observation events. Using specially designed telescopes, you can get a sense of what’s happening on the surface of the sun on the second Saturday of the month at the Bronx Zoo or select Sundays in Central Park. If you’d rather see the stars at night, you can attend one of AAA’s many other viewing events, including at Van Cortlandt Park, Floyd Bennett Field, or Prospect Park.
The Dance of the Planets
As part of the World Science Festival, an annual series of events designed “ to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future,” the organizers are sponsoring “The Dance of the Planets: An Evening Under the Stars” on Saturday, June 1. This combination stargazing/dance party promises to be informative and fun. You can bring your own telescope, hang out with astronomers, snack on treats from food trucks, and get down to live music. (One year at the festival, we saw a model of the James Webb Space Telescope, pictured.) | <urn:uuid:45a4733f-e339-4e97-90ea-b82c26a60d8d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,236 |
Thanks to those of you who came around to tell me you missed my posts, and wanted to make sure I was doing o.k. (all three of you, you know who you are, thank you). But I’m back, and I will need you more than ever, with the holidays and all.
Sorry I’ve been away.
Sometimes, static overtakes my brain and I can’t do anything but stare and think of things I’d rather be doing. | <urn:uuid:67c066b0-a04b-4eeb-8228-f367cc0dc40b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 375 |
I love this week between Christmas and New Year’s. The day after Christmas always feels like a letdown after a sugar high, but then as we start clearing out the wrapping paper and enjoying the relative quiet, it’s a lovely time for contemplation. The news channels lose their urgency and the holiday music starts dialing down (and we’re ready for that).
This year, there are many impatient calls for the new year to begin. It is undoubtedly the introvert in me but I know I will miss some things about 2020. Mostly, I will miss the absence of things, like crowded train cars, noisy airplanes and in-person meetings.
That said, I think the year ahead is going to be fascinating and I can’t wait for it to unfold. A new president! Seeing the number of hospitalizations and deaths come down slowly but surely as vaccinations rise. And all the rediscovery, one by one, of rituals and experiences we’ve missed.
The same way we all appreciated nature in a new way this year (especially birds!) and walks, and board games, and baking and cooking at home and spending precious time with members of our own households, we’ll get to start experiencing the magic of social gatherings, talking to strangers without masks, traveling, and hugging the people we haven’t been able to see.
At Spark Ideas, 2020 was a year of planting seeds, developing new relationships (albeit virtual) all over the world, and now in 2021 we will finally get to see green shoots emerge from the ground. I literally can’t wait for this. In the first quarter we will launch an entirely new LookLook® platform, including a WeChat integration for China.
There are incredibly wonderful people I’ve got to know on Zoom this year in Japan, Korea, France, Germany, the UK, Russia, Turkey and China – all of whom we’ll be partnering with this year.
2020 made me realize more than ever that forging highly curated connections is what we do best. The technology is simply the serving platter. We create collections of relationships that help organizations get up close and personal with their constituents. And we need that direct feedback loop now more than ever as we navigate the opportunities of a new world.
In a year where isolation was the rule, we saw what we really do. We’re not in the market research business or the technology business. We create a place for intimate conversations across borders. Every voice counts, every “participant” is a jewel that we treasure.
May everyone enjoy their own periscope into the unfolding of 2021. It may be the most fascinating year ever. | <urn:uuid:b84ad8b4-16c5-46f3-9d88-ab73a290cd5b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,543 |

... middle of paper ...
The history of Asia shows a transition from a period of conflicts and wars to a period of unification. The mergence of strong dynasties with sharp divisions of their political interests was the main reason for polarization of China to a long period of war. Also, Asian’s had loose coordination between different countries as they initially thought independently. Religion, especially Buddhism, played an important role of transforming Asia. Buddhism had wider spread than Daoism and its teaching showed that their beliefs were similar. Art and philosophy were also significant in unifying Asia. Art works combined ideas from different nations, making Asians to believe that they were a large family. Philosophy promoted a shift from political culture to artistic culture. Unification of Asia created leadership space for women who had not led during the chaotic past.

From all the reports I have seen, he has never shown much remorse at all, and his sexual abuse of children makes him NZ’s worst hypocrite.
He has served six of nine year sentence. Sadly under the law that applied at the time, parole is near automatic at two thirds. I think the Parole Board have turned him down seven times before.,
Remember this is the man who claimed that the sex with one of his victims was consensual:
“The law, as it has been explained to me, seems so different to what the Biblical law and indeed common perceptions are of rape,” he wrote.
“The fact that [the victim] consented is irrelevant.”

By Brian Keogh
Darren Clarke doesn’t do things by halves. And neither does Gerry Fagan, the Drogheda man behind a multi-million euro mega-deal that has made the Oceanico Group Portugal’s leading golf and property player.
While Clarke insisted that he is far from a spent force and can still challenge for Major honours, Fagan and his Oceanico co-founder Simon Burgess this week acquired all five courses at Vilamoura on Portugal’s sunny Algarve coast for a cool €125 million.
Not only that, Oceanico has also signed Clarke as Vilamoura’s touring professional for the next three years, seeing him as the ideal man to promote a golf and property portfolio estimated at more than €2 billion.
But while Oceanico basked in the glory of its acquisition of the Old Course, Victoria, Pinhal, Millennium and Laguna from long-time golf toursim leader Lusotur Golfes, Clarke took stock of his current slide to 51st in the world and warned his critics to write him off at their peril.
Without a significant win since the 2003 NEC Invitational, the 38-year-old Dungannon man is wounded by suggestions that his first round exit from the WGC - Accenture World Match Play in Arizona last week brought him a step closer to the end in an era of young guns.
“As far as I am concerned there’ve been a few people that have decided I’m done, but I wouldn’t quite see it that way,” Clarke said at Victoria Clube de Golf, where he will play next October’s Portugal Masters on the European Tour as part of his Oceanico deal.
“What age did Nick Price win his first Major at? What age did Vijay win his first Major? What age did Mark O’Meara win his first Major? Maybe I’m not quite b****xed yet.”
Like it or not, Clarke needs a good performance in next week’s Singapore Masters to qualify for the WGC - CA Championship at Doral in Florida from March 22-25..
Yet he insisted: “Do think it’s going to bother me if I’m not in Miami. Do you really think it’s going to bother me?
“It bothers me that I’m not in the top 50 in the world but it doesn’t bother me if I don’t play Doral because I only managed one good round there last year anyway so it doesn’t particularly bother me. I’m happy with what I am doing. If I keep doing the work that I am doing and I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine.”
Clarke has had to deal publicly with the nightmare of losing his wife Heather to cancer just last August, though he refuses to blame that tragedy for his failure to win a major championship in the four years since her illness was first diagnosed.
What’s more, this is not a comeback season, whatever others might think.
“Is it almost like starting over? No. Maybe the rest of my life, yes, that may be case. But not the golf. The golf, I’ve just got to get back to what I was doing,” said Clarke, whose best finish so far this season is a share of 20th place in Dubai.
“So far this year I’ve been competitively rusty. The game is not that bad. I just haven’t quite got the knack of scoring at the moment but will come back again through play, playing tournaments.
“I’ve had to take an enforced break from golf and that was not through my decision whatsoever to do. That was under circumstances. I’m not trying to catch up. I’m trying to play golf. And that’s what I’m doing.
“If you take a look up to four years ago. I had a few chances to win Majors and I didn't take them. I didn't get myself into position as often as I could.
“In the subsequent four years you are all aware of what was going on. So four years is 16 majors and that's quite a gap. That is not an excuse for that. At the end of the day I haven't played well enough to compete and give myself enough chances.”
Defeat to Sergio Garcia in the first round in Tucson last week was “most definitely” worthwhile as it allowed Clarke the rugby fan to see Ireland’s record win over England at Croke Park.
“I was there last Saturday, it was fan-tastic,” he beamed. “It was absolutely brilliant. The way they were for the National Anthems and all that sort of thing and no hassle outside, absolutely none, it was fantastic.”
The Majors are what drives Clarke, however, and he can’t wait to get back to Augusta next month to challenge for his first green jacket in the Masters.
He said: “If you're short game is on at Augusta you can do quite well. But you must putt well at Augusta. You have to. It depends whose short game is on that week.
“Your short game has to be sharp because everybody is going to stray where they don't want to. So it depends on your short game is.”
Clarke believes his short game is “on track” that he can still win a Major at 38?
“I have no reason not to believe that at all,” he said.
The deal with Oceanico is something that “excites” Clarke - and with good reason.
The Vilamoura buy out is a major part of Oceanico’s plans to create a Pinehurst style facility in southern Europe.
The five Vilamoura courses attracted over 200,000 players in 2006, returning profits of €6 million.
But Fagan and Burgess believe that they can improve dramatically on those figures over the next few years.
The company is in the process of building a luxury Amendoeira golf resort in nearby Silves, which features stunning courses by Nick Faldo and Christy O’Connor Jnr, is set to open for light play in the summer of 2008. It also plans to invest around €700 million in new investments in the Azores over the next seven years.
Fagan said: “We carefully studied the market worldwide and contend that the Pinehurst model in North Carolina was the on to emulate. Vilamoura has many more attributes to offer beyond the Pinehurst model.
“We will shortly be in possession of one of the best development sits in Vilamoura - 170 acres - which will be a mixed development of 702 units which is a complementary to our purchase of the golf courses.”
The low density development, with landscaping by TV garden designer Diarmuid Gavin, will give clients access to all seven Algarve courses as part of the purchase. | <urn:uuid:bd63d0fb-bbe0-44c5-9bdb-732dbe4cbd1d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,925 |

A primary responsibility popular among all associates of a school district’s learning community is definitely to protect college students against failure. Main to this obligation is that all of us do whatever we can as educators to “remove obstacles to learning. very well Yet one of these simple obstructions to learning can easily be the cultural barriers some learners face every working day right here inside our very schools. In the recent climate survey (April 2012) conducted among my university district’s parents and even community members, 70 percent of respondents documented that “there can be a problem with intimidation in our schools. inch Nationwide, nearly 1 in three students are involved in bullying as either a victim or perhaps perpetrator; close to nine in ten college students are involved throughout bullying incidents any time you add the student as a bystander.
Boys are extra likely to bully than girls; however , boys and girls are often bullied in different methods. Being a social sensation, the frequency regarding acts of intimidation in schools steadily increases during the particular elementary years, surges significantly at the center college years, then tapers off when college students reach senior high school. Teasing happens to most youngsters at least once during their training experience. Boys are certainly more physically aggressive towards their victims than girls; however, women are prone to be able to use the extra emotionally intimidating method of spreading gossip. In the college setting, bullies appearance for easy focuses on like students that are quiet, hypersensitive, or who stick out in some method as “different. ” All bullies use the weapon of “social exclusion” as a means to isolate their very own victims.
The most common reaction to getting bullied is usually to suffer in silence. For around 15% of learners, bullying can turn an otherwise productive university year into one that is unpleasant and full involving torment. The good news is that will my school district, along with various other school districts across the country, are taking a stand against the bully. Systematic plus intentional anti-bullying courses have proved highly successful in current years. I personally use the particular word intentional for a reason: part of the problem with teasing is that traditionally people have already been extremely unintentional (or unthinking) when it comes to coping with an anstoÃ. Many of us have been guilty of being passive bystanders in the center of a bully – even while adults – basically because our company is uncertain how to respond or don’t recognize precisely how to obtain involved. It will take a change in traditions to intentionally eradicate bullying, and this is easier than you think to be able to do for one particular simple reason: inside most cases, the victim and the bystanders greatly outnumber the bully. This specific article will supply the reader with some basic anti-bullying methods that provide effective remedies for the various sorts of bullying. Common to all of these remedies, nevertheless , is typically the adoption of a social contract to display absolutely no tolerance of behaviours that do not support the pride and self-determination of others.
Bullies are usually those who choose to be able to reject common standards of civility throughout order to accomplish power-power over other people and power above self, characterized by a new self-centered wish to keep in control without exceptions. Bullying is intentional. It is carried out by way of a conscious selection to cause harm. Bullies often appreciate making people suffer. They have little or perhaps no compassion for your people they targeted, and they usually defend their programs by blaming the particular victim — “So-and-so helped me do this! ” Group bullying can also arise and propagate out of a single bully source, with some other people joining in the spectacle. Bullies create an subtle situation in any kind of social environment since they model a workable strategy for “getting your way. ” Without intervention, other people may start to imitate bullying habits as a way of obtaining their very own wants and desires achieved. The bully’s principal tools, whether it is bodily or emotional teasing, is fear and even intimidation.
Because intimidation is all regarding power, the finest way to endure against an anstoà is additionally through the particular use of strength. Your bystander straight into the bullying circumstance. test iptv are people who are not the bully nor the victim, yet they are linked to most bullying situations even when they stand by and do nothing. Fortunately, this is the sufferer and bystanders who hold an frustrating amount of electrical power in any incident-if they choose to be able to exercise this power-through the sheer weight of numbers. Virtually any group, anywhere, could shift the imbalances of power appreciated by the anstoà simply by possessing victims and bystanders join together. Just about all that need happen in these circumstances is the insistence on civility, which in turn even the bully can certainly be redirected in to supporting. The victim/bystander alliance will always form an effective counterforce against bullying on the whole. Like matter and anti-matter; the two forces cancel each other out. In addition to in social situations, what is still left with this collision is definitely one urgent action: Civility. Once a state of civility has been achieved, anything can be done in improving the culture we reside in. | <urn:uuid:3ac58d40-7f74-4ca3-b72e-3f688037ee43> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 5,584 |

If you are a fitness enthusiast or just generally care about what you put into your body then you would wonder about the number of certain nutrients in your coffee. If you are thinking about how much potassium in coffee is good for you then you have landed the right blog.
Coffee is high in antioxidants and nutrients and potassium is one of those.
Even though coffee is addictive, coffee offers some unexpected health advantages. It boosts mood, cognitive function, and physical performance while lowering the risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Let’s talk about the potassium content in coffee.
How Much Potassium in Coffee – Facts and Figures
According to research, a cup of coffee has around 116mg of potassium. This amounts to less than 5% of the adult daily recommended consumption. The daily potassium recommendation is 4,700mg.
Because of the high potassium concentration in coffee, drinking too much coffee in one sitting may elevate your potassium levels. This brings us to the topic of black coffee and whether it has higher potassium content or not.
Does Back Coffee Have a Higher Potassium Content
As black coffee has no substantial amounts of macronutrients; fat, carbohydrate, and protein, it contains just 1-2 kcal per 100ml. Black coffee is high in micronutrients such as potassium, magnesium, and niacin.
Black coffee has the same amount of potassium content as regular coffee. However, adding other things to coffee will influence the final nutritional profile of a cup of coffee,
Adding milk, cream, sugar, or other sweeteners to taste will impact the final nutritional value and may increase the calorie content.
Effect of Water on Nutritional Content
The kind of water used in the preparation of coffee; hard or soft water, may have an impact on the micronutrient content of a cup of black coffee, notably in terms of potassium and magnesium levels.
Typically, soft water will bring out more nutrients from a cup of coffee than hard water, thus making coffee prepared from soft water more potassium-rich. This must make you wonder, does coffee have way too much potassium?
Is There A Lot Of Potassium In Coffee?
In comparison to other beverages, coffee does have a higher potassium level.
However, it isn’t fatally high and a cup of coffee won’t kill you! Potassium is an essential element that aids in the regulation of fluid balance and blood pressure in the body. It also helps with neuron function and muscular contraction.
However, there is a meticulous balance of how much potassium the body is allowed to have. You need to limit the coffee intake and you are all set without elevating your body’s potassium levels.
How Much Potassium Intake Is Good For Me?
A healthy adult with completely functional kidneys should ingest around 4,500 milligrams of potassium per day. And this is typically not difficult to do on a typical diet.
The National Institutes of Health recommends a daily potassium intake of between 2,300 and 3,400 milligrams. This quantity varies according to gender and age.
A typical potassium-limited diet for someone suffering from kidney disease will be about 2,000 mg, which might be problematic given how many items contain potassium. This brings us to the question is coffee bad for me if I have kidney disease?
Is Drinking Coffee Harmful for My Kidneys?
Caffeine, an active element in coffee, is not fundamentally harmful to your health or the health of your kidneys. Researchers discovered various advantages to ingesting a modest dose of caffeine. Those who have kidney disease can also enjoy coffee in moderate amounts.
Coffee is abundant in antioxidants and other nutrients that can help enhance your energy levels and metabolism to aid in fat burning. Caffeine, in general, is unlikely to harm your kidneys if ingested in tiny amounts. Even if you have kidney disease, you are safe depending on how much coffee you consume. Here are some more of the health advantages coffee offers.
Coffee’s Health Advantages
Coffee is high in antioxidants and provides several health benefits. Here are some of the coffee’s health advantages.
It May Assist To Prevent Type II Diabetes.
Coffee aids in the improvement of insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. It also lowers the chances of getting type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not create enough insulin or does not properly utilize insulin. As a result, blood sugar levels rise.
Coffee May Help Prevent Dementia And Alzheimer’s Disease.
Coffee enhances cognitive function and memory. It also helps to lower the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Coffee even helps with short-term memory retention so chug some before an exam!
Coffee And High Potassium Foods Keep Our Bodies Active.
Caffeine in coffee boosts alertness and improves cognitive function. Caffeine also boosts metabolism and aids in weight reduction.
If a person drinks coffee and is feeling chilly, the caffeine in coffee can assist to warm up the body by boosting metabolism. Metabolism refers to the process through which the body converts food into energy.
Coffee Lowers The Risk Of Heart Disease.
Coffee increases blood flow and reduces the chance of getting heart disease. Heart illness occurs when the heart does not receive enough blood.
This can result in complications such as chest discomfort, heart attack, and stroke. Coffee assists the heart in maintaining a consistent flow of blood by raising the metabolic rate and therefore giving more energy to give blood to the heart. This minimizes the likelihood of cardiac problems.
Coffee Improves Mood And Cognitive Function.
Caffeine in coffee boosts alertness and improves cognitive function. Coffee also helps to lift one’s spirits. A person’s mood is their emotional condition at any given time. The surroundings, ideas, and feelings of a person may all influence their mood.
Coffee Protects The Liver From Injury.
Coffee’s antioxidants aid to protect the liver from free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable chemicals that can harm the body’s cells.
Cell damage can result in illnesses such as cancer. Detoxification is the removal of toxins from the body. The antioxidants in coffee aid in detoxifying.
Reducing Potassium in Coffee – A Hack
If you are concerned about the quantity of potassium in coffee, you may minimize it by boiling it for an extended length of time. Although this is not a scientifically validated procedure, it does eliminate some of the potassium from coffee.
If you want a caffeine boost in the morning, coffee is the drink for you. In addition, it is the most abundant source of antioxidants. Coffee contains a decent amount of potassium and most of us probably had no idea we were receiving it! However, eating potassium-rich foods is the greatest method to acquire enough potassium in your diet.
The best part is that potassium may help protect against illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease, and heart disease.
Now that you know the answers to “How much potassium is in coffee?”, you need not worry about killing yourself with a potassium overdose while enjoying your cup of coffee! | <urn:uuid:3cab0d4c-6ddc-438c-8459-028bd34e5d60> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 7,114 |

WASHINGTON (CBS)- A House vote yesterday to condemn President Trump’s tweets turned into fighting between Democrats and Republicans.
The resolution ultimately passed, after an objection over Speaker Pelosi’s language on the floor delayed debate for more than an hour.
house vote to condemn President Trump’s tweets targeting four freshman
congresswomen passed largely along party lines, with four Republicans and one Independent
joining the Democrats.
The resolution takes aim at the President’s comments that four women of color should “go back” to where they came from, even though 3 of them were born in the U.S.
But the run-up to the vote featured a war of words about words.
“These comments from the White House are disgraceful and disgusting. And the comments are racist,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I make a point of order the gentlewoman’s words are unparliamentary, and request they to be taken down,” said Representative Doug Collins of Georgia.
Republicans tried and failed to strike Speaker Pelosi’s remarks from the record.
The rebuke from the House has no real repercussions against President Trump, and Republican leaders defended the President, calling the vote political.
“This is all about politics and beliefs of ideologies of what individuals have,” said Representative Kevin McCarthy of California. | <urn:uuid:00743fc2-ddc8-44c3-96a9-3eec5892fb77> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,326 |
‘Auricular Style: Frames’ Conference
5th & 6th October, 2016, the Wallace Collection, London.
This two-day international conference will be the first dedicated to the Auricular style, centring on one of its most significant manifestations, the picture frame. The conference aims to stimulate awareness & study of this important but neglected style by bringing together research in fine & decorative art histories. It will consider the origins & development of the style in different materials, together with its dissemination between European centres. The conference will explore how other areas of the decorative & applied arts fed into the creation of picture frames, & were in their turn nourished through the influence of these sculptural objects.
Fourteen speakers are anticipated, & currently include Karen Hearn (University College London), Jacob Simon (National Portrait Gallery), Hubert Baija (Rijksmuseum), Daniela Roberts (University of Würzburg), Allison Stielau (McGill University) & Ada de Wit (Radboud University / Wallace Collection). Displays to run simultaneously with the conference are planned with the Guildhall Art Gallery, & Ham House, London.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, connections between countries (Italy, France, Bohemia, the Netherlands, Britain, Germany & Scandinavia); the Van Vianens; Fontainebleau; the grotesque; ‘Medici’ frames; the influence of prints; Auricular settings; craftsmanship; the style’s decline & its revivals. Poster presentations exhibited during the conference will be edited with the papers & published, fully illustrated, for free download on Auricular Style: Frames, which it is hoped will become a hub for future related research.
Enquiries & submissions (300-400 word abstracts as Word documents) to firstname.lastname@example.org
Deadline for submissions : 29th January, 2016.
Registration free for speakers & poster contributors. Agreed travel & accommodation expenses reimbursed for speakers. | <urn:uuid:98ddebb3-9e0e-466a-abc0-ceaffe11c706> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,973 |
What carries messages to the spinal cord?
Sensory neurons carry signals from the body to the brain and/or spinal cord. Sensory neurons are found in our sensory organs such as our skin, tongue, ears, eyes and nose.
Which nerves carry messages from the sense organs to the spinal cord?
Two main kinds of nerves are sensory nerves and motor nerves. Sensory nerves bring messages from the sense organs to the brain or the spinal cord.
What carries information from a sensory receptor to the spinal cord?
function. A sensory neuron transmits impulses from a receptor, such as those in the eye or ear, to a more central location in the nervous system, such as the spinal cord or brain. A motor neuron transmits impulses from a central area of the nervous system to…
What carries messages to parts of the body?
The brain is like a computer that controls the body’s functions, and the nervous system is like a network that relays messages to parts of the body.
Does spinal cord send messages to the brain?
The brain and spinal cord are your body’s central nervous system. The brain is the command center for your body, and the spinal cord is the pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and from the body to the brain.
Does blood travel through nerves?
In terms of function, blood flow is unidirectional, arterial to venous, just as information passes along incoming (sensory) and outgoing (motor and autonomic) nerve pathways.
What are the 5 types of sensory neurons?
What are the different types of sensory neuron receptors? You can classify cells based on their morphology, location or by what kind of stimulus they respond to. It is common to group them into 5 classes: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, electromagnetic receptors and chemoreceptors.
What can receptors detect?
Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They can detect a change in the environment (stimulus ) and produce electrical impulses in response. Sense organs contain groups of receptors that respond to specific stimuli . | <urn:uuid:4280e5dd-c958-4c20-8f2a-26ec84abf27d> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,016 |

The past few weeks have been an experience for me. When the new year started, I never would have thought a virus called COVID-19 would change life as I know it. As I have found myself at home more often than at work, I have found myself in the kitchen more often than usual. That, in turn, has reminded me how big my sweet tooth is.
Out has come the recipe books and newspaper clippings as I have finally had time to try several recipes that I’ve meant to try over the years, but have never gotten around to. Until now. This one has become one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it too! | <urn:uuid:9ecd0b09-84da-42f6-9e51-72581672e7b5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,530 |

The blackouts have only just begun
Rolling blackouts have hit millions of Texans and people across the Great Plains, including Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Severe winter weather has placed a strain on electricity supplies and caused multiple deaths. That sad situation is completely unnecessary, but it likely will increase in the coming days.
Unfortunately, if President Biden gets his way, blackouts such as these may become a more common occurrence.
Throughout his political career, Biden has advocated for exactly the sort of policies that have Texas and the Great Plains states locked in their current energy crisis. For more than 30 years as a senator, during his time as vice president, during his presidential campaign, and in his early days as president, Biden has advocated policies that will leave our energy systems fragile and unreliable. As a result, our electricity system’s reliability increasingly risks resembling the developing world more than a global superpower.
The Obama-Biden administration used a slew of Environmental Protection Agency regulations to force coal plants off the grid. At the same time, they expanded federal subsidies for wind and solar. The growing cost of regulation was compounded by these financial favors for renewable energy, causing disruptions in electricity markets and slowly eroding the viability of more reliable nuclear and coal power plants in the United States.
That becomes a problem because these reliable “baseload” plants have always been like the pickup trucks of our electric grid — the consistent and powerful workhorses that always show up, functioning best at a steady rate, similar to how a car engine is most efficient at cruising speeds. Wind and solar, on the other hand, are erratic and unreliable, producing electricity only when the weather allows.
Sometimes they generate large quantities of electricity; other times they generate nothing and actually become a drag on the system. But when heavily subsidized wind and solar are running full bore, they can generate so much electricity that the prices for the power they produce can actually turn negative. Coal and nuclear plants are then forced to compete with companies that effectively can give their product away for free. In fact, negative wholesale power prices are actually becoming more frequent.
This may sound great at first but, in the long term, businesses that can’t sell their products for a profit don’t survive. Eventually, the coal and nuclear plants lose so much money, they are forced to close permanently. Some groups cheer this loss to the energy system, but for the average person, it means the reliable workhorses aren’t available when they may be needed most. Texas is an early example of this scenario playing out during brutal winter weather.
Which leads us back to Biden’s plan to spend $2 trillion building tens of thousands of wind turbines, installing millions of solar panels, and extending the massive subsidies given to renewable energy. His plan will exacerbate the impact of unreliable resources on electricity markets and make the nation’s electric grid even more fragile and vulnerable to rolling blackouts.
Biden has claimed that extreme weather events will become more common because of climate change. But as we have seen in Texas this week, California this past summer, and the Midwest during 2019’s polar vortex, wind and solar can’t be trusted to work during extreme weather. So a plan to spend $2 trillion on energy sources we know we can’t trust, just when we’ll need reliable energy most, is hard to understand.
Rolling power outages are never a good thing. But we have been lucky in most cases to still have reliable energy available during difficult times. If the Biden plan is implemented, more of these reliable generators soon will be decommissioned and gone.
If we want to avoid the dangers and hardships that come with blackouts, we should target Biden’s spending plans toward research and construction of nuclear plants, which can store months of fuel on site and emit no CO2 emissions. Doing this would be a far more workable solution for a strong and reliable energy future.

In a society where immediate results are very popular, the beauty industry has developed and improved the ancient technique of adding human hair to your own hair. This process makes it look like it grew out of your own head.
How are the hair extensions attached?
There are a variety of methods to attach hair extensions. The type and style of hair selected can be a determining factor in how they are attached. Human hair can be attached strand by strand or in wefts. A weft is a section of hair that is attached together at the top. The weft is typical sewn or bonded in to the natural hair.

TUNIS, Sept 9, 2005 – International and Tunisian civil society organizations expressed their outrage today at the rapid deterioration of the human rights situation in Tunisia just two months prior to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), to be held in Tunis, November 15-18, 2005. After prohibiting the founding congress of the Tunisian Journalists’ Union (SJT) on September 7, authorities prevented the Tunisian League for Human Rights (LTDH) from holding its 6th Congress, scheduled to begin today.
This drastic decision, targeting the oldest human rights’ organization in the Arab World and Africa, aims to stifle the most important organization for the defence of human rights in Tunisia.
While processed through formal legal channels, this decision illustrates the manipulation of the law by authorities. Another victim, the Association of Tunisian Judges (AMT) itself, was locked out of their offices for taking a public position in favour of the independence of the judiciary.
This dark week for Tunisian human rights is part of an ongoing attack on fundamental freedoms which has included police surrounding the offices of human rights defenders, physical and verbal aggression, libellous campaigns and harassment.
These provocative policies do not augur well for a successful Summit. It is unconscionable to hold a summit in such dire circumstances, with the LTDH, pillar of independent civil society, under attack.
We call upon the Tunisian government to respect its commitments on human rights, particularly freedom of expression and association guaranteed by international treaties ratified by the Tunisian Government and re-affirmed in December 2003 during the first phase of the WSIS.
We call upon the governments which will meet in Tunis in November 2005 to fully recognize the severity of the situation and to bring pressure to bear on the Tunisian authorities to respect their international obligations.

Hi all and welcome for the fifth news of French Hope on Moddb.com
No, we're not dead. It's hard for us to keep this going well, but "impossible is not french". We got some troubles, but we are on the right way.
I will show you what we are working on :
"The battle for Stonne, a little village south of Sedan, is one of the major battles in the French Campagn in May 1940, even if it is really unknown out of Ardennes area. During 10 days, french and germans fought vigorously, taking heavy casualties, to take the control of Stonne, nestled on a hill. In 3 days, the village changed from side to side 17 times !
For the Germans, it was the Verdun of 1940."
You would like to pilot a B1 Bis on this map ? You will ! This map was nearly acheved by Sn00x, but it needed some modifications to give this map an FH2 atmospher. This map has nearly all the chances to get included in FH2, so all our hopes are in this !
You can see the minimap of the battle (the North is at the bottom) and some screens :
Stay tuned, and see you soon !

Lately my son found an old RC car from 1984 in the dumpster. The car looked not so bad at all, only it came without remote control. Any way, we took that car with us to see what could be done. First we opened the car up, and checked if the motors still worked. They did. So we decided to throw out the old receiver, H-bridge and stuff, and replace it with some „newer“ components. Finally we ended up with a RC car controllable through a LEGO power functions IR remote controller which we hooked up to a Toshiba TB6612FNG dual H-bridge.
It has to be noted, that the LEGO IR receiver itself comes with two outputs usable to drive a motor clock- and counter-clock-wise. Thus, if you are sure, your motors are good with a 9V power supply, and that they do not draw more Amps then the LEGO receiver is able to provide (I was not able to get some numbers for that), you could directly connect the motors to the receiver. Personally I like the idea of having separate power supplies for the controller/logic and the motors. Thus, the TB6612FNG is connected to the receiver. The receiver then is powered by a 9V battery, and the motors are supplied by 4 AA batteries. We also added some nice blue LEDs which lite up whenever the car drives forward.

Hello everyone! I have for you today reviews on two R+Co products that I have been testing out. I purchased the Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner from the Birchbox store and the Death Valley Dry Shampoo came as a sample in my August Birchbox. For reference, I have curly, color treated hair and I tried both of these with my natural hair and then also when I straightened it.
R+Co comprises “some of the most forward-thinking, rule-bending hairstylists in the business.” Their products are free of parabens, sulfates (SLS or SLES), mineral oil, petrolatum and gluten. They are also vegetarian, cruelty-free, color-safe and most of the retail packaging can be recycled. Also notable from this brand is their androgynous fragrances and the colorful images that mark the containers they come in.
Let’s get started.
Death Valley Dry Shampoo
Described as “the quickest way to get volume and body into your hair.
Adds volume to hair
Nice, clean scent
Good product to refresh hair
No white residue left behind
Available in travel-size
Does not absorb oil
Can feel a little bit sticky at times
A bit pricey- $29 for 6.3 oz/$17 for 1.6 oz
Overall: This dry shampoo didn’t absorb any oil and I felt that when it mixed with the oil in my hair, it made it feel a bit sticky and heavy. It smells very similar to the Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo but leans more towards a woodsy scent-I love it! This is best used on straight hair that isn’t too oily and adds good volume. I doubt I would purchase this as both the Dry Bar Detox Shampoo and Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder work better at absorbing oil and I do prefer the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for adding volume/texture over this one.
Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner
Described as “the only step you need to weightlessly soften and condition, no matter what kind of hair you’ve got.”
Cleans pretty well for a product that doesn’t really foam up
Light, airy mousse-like texture
Doesn’t make hair feel stripped which is great for curly and color-treated hair
The scent is not overpowering
You’ll still need to condition your hair despite the claims
Pricey- $29 for 6 fl oz
You do need to use quite a bit of product
Hard to tell how much product is left
Overall: I’ve tried several shampoos, including DevaCurl, that are designed to clean hair without foaming and while they were nice at first, my hair just looked greasy by the end of the day or over time. This cleansing conditioner though is one of the best formulations I have tried thus far. The product looks similar to mousse but a bit creamier and it really removes oil without making your scalp feel dry. I had to use about 3-4 pumps to cover my head and I did need to use conditioner on the end afterwards but my hair looked soft and significantly less frizzy. My only problem with this is that you can’t tell how much is left in the can and you do need to use more than is indicated in the instructions. It is pricey but well-worth the price and I will definitely be repurchasing this.
Have a great day and let me know in the comments below what your favorite or least favorite hair products are! | <urn:uuid:10c3f4ab-b7cc-4bb1-a05d-900364511c57> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,093 |

Custom and Myth/Apollo and the Mouse
APOLLO AND THE MOUSE.
Why is Apollo, especially the Apollo of the Troad, he who showered the darts of pestilence among the Greeks, so constantly associated with a mouse? The very name, Smintheus, by which his favourite priest calls on him in the 'Iliad' (i. 39), might be rendered 'Mouse Apollo,' or 'Apollo, Lord of Mice.' As we shall see later, mice lived beneath the altar, and were fed in the holy of holies of the god, and an image of a mouse was placed beside or upon his sacred tripod. The ancients were puzzled by these things, and, as will be shown, accounted for them by 'mouse-stories,' Σμινθιακοι λοyοι, so styled by Eustathius, the mediæval interpreter of Homer. Following our usual method, let us ask whether similar phenomena occur elsewhere, in countries where they are intelligible. Did insignificant animals elsewhere receive worship: were their effigies elsewhere placed in the temples of a purer creed? We find answers in the history of Peruvian religion.
After the Spanish conquest of Peru, one of the European adventurers, Don Garcilasso de la Vega, married an Inca princess. Their son, also named Garcilasso, was born about 1540. His famous book, 'Commentarias Reales,' contains the most authentic account of the old Peruvian beliefs. Garcilasso was learned in all the learning of the Europeans, and, as an Inca on the mother's side, had claims on the loyalty of the defeated race. He set himself diligently to collect both their priestly and popular traditions, and his account of them is the more trustworthy as it coincides with what we know to have been true in lands with which Garcilasso had little acquaintance.
To Garcilasso's mind, Peruvian religion seems to be divided into two periods—the age before, and the age which followed the accession of the Incas, and their establishment of sun-worship as the creed of the State. In the earlier period, the pre-Inca period, he tells us 'an Indian was not accounted honourable unless he was descended from a fountain, river, or lake, or even from the sea, or from a wild animal, such as a bear, lion, tiger, eagle, or the bird they call cuntur (condor), or some other bird of prey.' To these worshipful creatures 'men offered what they usually saw them eat' (i. 53). But men were not content to adore large and dangerous animals. 'There was not an animal, how vile and filthy soever, that they did not worship as a god,' including 'lizards, toads, and frogs.' In the midst of these superstitions the Incas appeared. Just as the tribes claimed descent from animals, great or small, so the Incas drew their pedigree from the sun, which they adored like the gens of the Aurelii in Rome. Thus every Indian had his pacarissa, or, as the North American Indians say, totem, a natural object from which he claimed descent, and which, in a certain degree, he worshipped. Though sun-worship became the established religion, worship of the animal pacarissas was still tolerated. The sun-temples also contained huacas, or images, of the beasts which the Indians had venerated. In the great temple of Pachacamac, the most spiritual and abstract god of Peruvian faith, 'they worshipped a she-fox and an emerald. The devil also appeared to them, and spoke in the form of a tiger, very fierce.' This toleration of an older and cruder, in subordination to a purer, faith is a very common feature in religious evolution. In Catholic countries, to this day, we may watch, in Holy Week, the Adonis feast described by Theocritus, and the procession and entombment of the old god of spring.
'The Incas had the good policy to collect all the tribal animal gods into their temples in and round Cuzco, in which the two leading gods were the Master of Life, and the Sun.' Did a process of this sort ever occur in Greek religion, and were older animal gods ever collected into the temples of such deities as Apollo?
While a great deal of scattered evidence about many animals consecrated to Greek gods points in this direction, it will be enough, for the present, to examine the case of the Sacred Mice. Among races which are still in the totemistic stage, which still claim descent from animals and from other objects, a peculiar marriage law generally exists, or can be shown to have existed. No man may marry a woman who is descended from the same ancestral animal, and who bears the same totem-name, and carries the same badge or family crest, as himself. A man descended from the Crane, and whose family name is Crane, cannot marry a woman whose family name is Crane. He must marry a woman of the Wolf, or Turtle, or Swan, or other name, and her children keep her family title, not his. Thus, if a Crane man marries a Swan woman, the children are Swans, and none of them may marry a Swan; they must marry Turtles, Wolves, or what not, and their children, again, are Turtles, or Wolves. Thus there is necessarily an eternal come and go of all the animal names known in a district. As civilisation advances these rules grow obsolete. People take their names from the father, as among ourselves. Finally the dwellers in a given district, having become united into a local tribe, are apt to drop the various animal titles and to adopt, as the name of the whole tribe, the name of the chief, or of the predominating family. Let us imagine a district of some twenty miles in which there are Crane, Wolf, Turtle, and Swan families. Long residence together, and common interests, have welded them into a local tribe. The chief is of the Wolf family, and the tribe, sinking family differences and family names, calls itself 'the Wolves.' Such tribes were probably, in the beginning, the inhabitants of the various Egyptian towns which severally worshipped the wolf, or the sheep, or the crocodile, and abstained religiously (except on certain sacrificial occasions) from the flesh of the animal that gave them its name.
It has taken us long to reach the Sacred Mice of Greek religion, but we are now in a position to approach their august divinity. We have seen that the sun-worship superseded, without abolishing, the tribal pacarissas in Peru, and that the huacas, or images, of the sacred animals were admitted under the roof of the temple of the Sun. Now it is recognised that the temples of the Sminthian Apollo contained images of sacred mice among other animals, and our argument is that here, perhaps, we have another example of the Peruvian religious evolution. Just as, in Peru, the tribes adored 'vile and filthy' animals, just as the solar worship of the Incas subordinated these, just as the huacas of the beasts remained in the temples of the Peruvian Sun; so, we believe, the tribes along the Mediterranean coasts had, at some very remote prehistoric period, their animal pacarissas; these were subordinated to the religion (to some extent solar) of Apollo; and the huacas, or animal idols, survived in Apollo's temples.
If this theory be correct, we shall probably find the mouse, for example, revered as a sacred animal in many places. This would necessarily follow, if the marriage customs which we have described ever prevailed on Greek soil, and scattered the mouse-name far and wide. Traces of the Mouse families, and of adoration, if adoration there was of the mouse, would linger on in the following shapes:—(1) Places would be named from mice, and mice would be actually held sacred in themselves. (2) The mouse-name would be given locally to the god who superseded the mouse. (3) The figure of the mouse would be associated with the god, and used as a badge, or a kind of crest, or local mark, in places where the mouse has been a venerated animal. (4) Finally, myths would be told to account for the sacredness of a creature so undignified.
Let us take these considerations in their order:—
(1) If there were local mice tribes, deriving their name from the worshipful mouse, certain towns settled by these tribes would retain a reverence for mice.
In Chrysa, a town of the Troad, according to Heraclides Ponticus, mice were held sacred, the local name for mouse being σμινθος. Many places bore this mouse-name, according to Strabo. This is precisely what would have occurred had the Mouse totem, and the Mouse stock, been widely distributed. The Scholiast mentions Sminthus as a place in the Troad. Strabo speaks of two places deriving their name from Sminthus, or mouse, near the Sminthian temple, and others near Larissa. In Rhodes and Lindus, the mouse place-name recurs, 'and in many other districts' (Και αλλοθι δε πολλαχοθι). Strabo (x. 486) names Caressus, and Poeessa, in Ceos, among the other places which had Sminthian temples, and, presumably, were once centres of tribes named after the mouse.
Here, then, are a number of localities in which the Mouse Apollo was adored, and where the old mouse-name lingered. That the mice were actually held sacred in their proper persons we learn from Ælian. 'The dwellers in Hamaxitus of the Troad worship mice,' says Ælian. 'In the temple of Apollo Smintheus, mice are nourished, and food is offered to them, at the public expense, and white mice dwell beneath the altar.' In the same way we found that the Peruvians fed their sacred beasts on what they usually saw them eat.
(2) The second point in our argument has already been sufficiently demonstrated. The mouse-name 'Smintheus' was given to Apollo in all the places mentioned by Strabo, 'and many others.'
(3) The figure of the mouse will be associated with the god, and used as a badge, or crest, or local mark, in places where the mouse has been a venerated animal.
The passage already quoted from Ælian informs us that there stood 'an effigy of the mouse beside the tripod of Apollo.' In Chrysa, according to Strabo (xiii. 604), the statue of Apollo Smintheus had a mouse beneath his foot. The mouse on the tripod of Apollo is represented on a bas-relief illustrating the plague, and the offerings of the Greeks to Apollo Smintheus, as described in the first book of the 'Iliad.'
The mouse is a not uncommon local badge or crest in Greece. The animals whose figures are stamped on coins, like the Athenian owl, are the most ancient marks of cities. It is a plausible conjecture that, just as the Iroquois when they signed treaties with the Europeans used their totems—bear, wolf, and turtle—as seals, so the animals on archaic Greek city coins represented crests or badges which, at some far more remote period, had been totems.
The Argives, according to Pollux, stamped the mouse on their coins. As there was a temple of Apollo Smintheus in Tenedos, we naturally hear of a mouse on the coins of the island. Golzio has published one of these mouse coins. The people of Metapontum stamped their money with a mouse gnawing an ear of corn. The people of Cumæ employed a mouse dormant. Paoli fancied that certain mice on Roman medals might be connected with the family of Mus, but this is rather guesswork.
We have now shown traces, at least, of various ways in which an early tribal religion of the mouse—the mouse pacarissa, as the Peruvians said—may have been perpetuated. When we consider that the superseding of the mouse by Apollo must have occurred, if it did occur, long before Homer, we may rather wonder that the mouse left his mark on Greek religion so long. We have seen mice revered, a god with a mouse-name, the mouse-name recurring in many places, the huaca, or idol, of the mouse preserved in the temples of the god, and the mouse-badge used in several widely severed localities. It remains (4) to examine the myths about mice. These, in our opinion, were probably told to account for the presence of the huaca of the mouse in temples, and for the occurrence of the animal in religion, and his connection with Apollo.
A singular mouse-myth, narrated by Herodotus, is worth examining for reasons which will appear later, though the events are said to have happened on Egyptian soil. According to Herodotus, one Sethos, a priest of Hephaestus (Ptah), was king of Egypt. He had disgraced the military class, and he found himself without an army when Sennacherib invaded his country. Sethos fell asleep in the temple, and the god, appearing to him in a vision, told him that divine succour would come to the Egyptians. In the night before the battle, field-mice gnawed the quivers and shield-handles of the foe, who fled on finding themselves thus disarmed. 'And now,' says Herodotus, 'there standeth a stone image of this king in the temple of Hephæstus, and in the hand of the image a mouse, and there is this inscription, "Let whoso looketh on me be pious."'
Prof. Sayce holds that there was no such person as Sethos, but that the legend 'is evidently Egyptian, not Greek, and the name of Sennacherib, as well as the fact of the Assyrian attack, is correct.' The legend also, though Egyptian, is 'an echo of the biblical account of the destruction of the Assyrian army,' an account which omits the mice. 'As to the mice, here,' says Prof. Sayce, 'we have to do again with the Greek dragomen (sic). The story of Sethos was attached to the statue of some deity which was supposed to hold a mouse in its hand.' It must have been easy to verify this supposition; but Mr. Sayce adds, 'mice were not sacred in Egypt, nor were they used as symbols, or found on the monuments.' To this remark we may suggest some exceptions. Apparently this one mouse was found on the monuments. Wilkinson (iii. 264) says mice do occur in the sculptures, but they were not sacred. Rats, however, were certainly sacred, and as little distinction is taken, in myth, between rats and mice as between rabbits and hares. The rat was sacred to Ra, the Sun-god, and (like all totems) was not to be eaten. This association of the rat and the Sun cannot but remind us of Apollo and his mouse. According to Strabo, a certain city of Egypt did worship the shrew-mouse. The Athribitæ, or dwellers in Crocodilopolis, are the people to whom he attributes this cult, which he mentions (xvii. 813) among the other local animal-worships of Egypt. Several porcelain examples of the field-mouse sacred to Horus (commonly called Apollo by the Greeks) may be seen in the British Museum.
That rats and field-mice were sacred in Egypt, then, we may believe on the evidence of the Ritual, of Strabo, and of many relics of Egyptian art. Herodotus, moreover, is credited when he says that the statue 'had a mouse on its hand.' Elsewhere, it is certain that the story of mice gnawing the bowstrings occurs frequently as an explanation of mouse-worship. One of the Trojan 'mouse-stories' ran—That emigrants had set out in prehistoric times from Crete. The oracle advised them to settle 'wherever they were attacked by the children of the soil.' At Hamaxitus in the Troad, they were assailed in the night by mice, which ate all that was edible of their armour and bowstrings. The colonists made up their mind that these mice were 'the children of the soil,' settled there, and adored the mouse Apollo. A myth of this sort may either be a story invented to explain the mouse-name; or a Mouse tribe, like the Red Indian Wolves, or Crows, may actually have been settled on the spot, and may even have resisted invasion. Another myth of the Troad accounted for the worship of the mouse Apollo on the hypothesis that he had once freed the land from mice, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, whose pipe (still serviceable) is said to have been found in his grave by men who were digging a mine.
Stories like these, stories attributing some great deliverance to the mouse, or some deliverance from mice to the god, would naturally spring up among people puzzled by their own worship of the mouse-god or of the mouse. We have explained the religious character of mice as the relics of a past age in which the mouse had been a totem and mouse family names had been widely diffused. That there are, and have been, mice totems and mouse family names among Semitic stocks round the Mediterranean is proved by Prof. Robertson Smith: 'Achbor, the mouse, is an Edomite name, apparently a stock name, as the jerboa and another mouse-name are among the Arabs. The same name occurs in Judah.' Where totemism exists, the members of each stock either do not eat the ancestral animal at all, or only eat him on rare sacrificial occasions. The totem of a hostile stock may be eaten by way of insult. In the case of the mouse, Isaiah seems to refer to one or other of these practices (lxvi.): 'They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.' This is like the Egyptian prohibition to eat 'the abominable' (that is, tabooed or forbidden) 'Rat of Ra.' If the unclean animals of Israel were originally the totems of each clan, then the mouse was a totem, for the chosen people were forbidden to eat 'the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind.' That unclean beasts, beasts not to be eaten, were originally totems, Prof. Robertson Smith infers from Ezekiel (viii. 10, 11), where 'we find seventy of the elders of Israel—that is, the heads of houses—worshipping in a chamber which had on its walls the figures of all manner of unclean' (tabooed) 'creeping things, and quadrupeds, even all the idols of the House of Israel.' Some have too hastily concluded that the mouse was a sacred animal among the neighbouring Philistines. After the Philistines had captured the Ark and set it in the house of Dagon, the people were smitten with disease. They therefore, in accordance with a well-known savage magical practice, made five golden representations of the diseased part, and five golden mice, as 'a trespass offering to the Lord of Israel,' and so restored the Ark. Such votive offerings are common still in Catholic countries, and the mice of gold by no means prove that the Philistines had ever worshipped mice.
Turning to India from the Mediterranean basin, and the Aryan, Semitic, and Egyptian tribes on its coasts, we find that the mouse was the sacred animal of Rudra. 'The mouse, Rudra, is thy beast,' says the Yajur Veda, as rendered by Grohmann in his 'Apollo Smintheus.' Grohmann recognises in Rudra a deity with most of the characteristics of Apollo. In later Indian mythology, the mouse is an attribute of Ganeca, who, like Apollo Smintheus, is represented in art with his foot upon a mouse.
Such are the chief appearances of the mouse in ancient religion. If he really was a Semitic totem, it may, perhaps, be argued that his prevalence in connection with Apollo is the result of a Semitic leaven in Hellenism. Hellenic invaders may have found Semitic mouse-tribes at home, and incorporated the alien stock deity with their own Apollo-worship. In that case the mouse, while still originally a totem, would not be an Aryan totem. But probably the myths and rites of the mouse, and their diffusion, are more plausibly explained on our theory than on that of De Gubernatis: 'The Pagan sun-god crushes under his foot the Mouse of Night. When the cat's away, the mice may play; the shadows of night dance when the moon is absent.' This is one of the quaintest pieces of mythological logic. Obviously, when the cat (the moon) is away, the mice (the shadows) cannot play: there is no light to produce a shadow. As usually chances, the scholars who try to resolve all the features of myth into physical phenomena do not agree among themselves about the mouse. While the mouse is the night, according to M. de Gubernatis, in Grohmann's opinion the mouse is the lightning. He argues that the lightning was originally regarded by the Aryan race as the 'flashing tooth of a beast,' especially of a mouse. Afterwards men came to identify the beast with his teeth, and, behold, the lightning and the mouse are convertible mythical terms! Now it is perfectly true that savages regard many elemental phenomena, from eclipses to the rainbow, as the result of the action of animals. The rainbow is a serpent; thunder is caused by the thunder-bird, who has actually been shot in Dacotah, and who is familiar to the Zulus; while rain is the milk of a heavenly cow—an idea recurring in the 'Zend Avesta.' But it does not follow because savages believe in these meteorological beasts that all the beasts in myth were originally meteorological. Man raised a serpent to the skies, perhaps, but his interest in the animal began on earth, not in the clouds. It is excessively improbable, and quite unproved, that any race ever regarded lightning as the flashes of a mouse's teeth. The hypothesis is a jeu d'esprit, like the opposite hypothesis about the mouse of Night. In these, and all the other current theories of the Sminthian Apollo, the widely diffused worship of ordinary mice, and such small deer, has been either wholly neglected, or explained by the first theory of symbolism that occurred to the conjecture of a civilised observer. The facts of savage animal-worship, and their relations to totemism, seem still unknown to or unappreciated by scholars, with the exception of Mr. Sayce, who recognises totemism as the origin of the zoomorphic element in Egyptian religion.
Our explanation, whether adequate or not, is not founded on an isolated case. If Apollo superseded and absorbed the worship of the mouse, he did no less for the wolf, the ram, the dolphin, and several other animals whose images were associated with his own. The Greek religion was more refined and anthropomorphic than that of Egypt. In Egypt the animals were still adored, and the images of the gods had bestial heads. In Greece only a few gods, and chiefly in very archaic statues, had bestial heads; but beside the other deities the sculptor set the owl, eagle, wolf, serpent, tortoise, mouse, or whatever creature was the local favourite of the deity. Probably the deity had, in the majority of cases, superseded the animal and succeeded to his honours. But the conservative religious sentiment retained the beast within the courts and in the suit and service of the anthropomorphic god.
The process by which the god ousted the beasts may perhaps be observed in Samoa. There (as Dr. Turner tells us in his 'Samoa') each family has its own sacred animal, which it may not eat. If this law be transgressed, the malefactor is supernaturally punished in a variety of ways. But, while each family has thus its totem, four or five different families recognise, in owl, crab, lizard, and so on, incarnations of the same god, say of Tongo. If Tongo had a temple among these families, we can readily believe that images of the various beasts in which he was incarnate would be kept within the consecrated walls. Savage ideas like these, if they were ever entertained in Greece, would account for the holy animals of the different deities. But it is obvious that the phenomena which we have been studying may be otherwise explained. It may be said that the Sminthian Apollo was only revered as the enemy and opponent of mice. St. Gertrude (whose heart was eaten by mice) has the same rôle in France. The worship of Apollo, and the badge of the mouse, would, on this principle, be diffused by colonies from some centre of the faith. The images of mice in Apollo's temples would be nothing more than votive offerings. Thus, in the church of a Saxon town, the verger shows a silver mouse dedicated to Our Lady. 'This is the greatest of our treasures,' says the verger. 'Our town was overrun with mice till the ladies of the city offered this mouse of silver. Instantly all the mice disappeared.' 'And are you such fools as to believe that the creatures went away because a silver mouse was dedicated?' asked a Prussian officer. 'No,' replied the verger, rather neatly; 'or long ago we should have offered a silver Prussian.'

|Title:||Conflict in the Existence of Conflict: Comparing Effectiveness of Conflict Monitoring vs Parallel Episodic Processing Models of Cognitive Control Draft Version|
|Abstract:||In the field of cognitive control (the ability to direct and control our cognitive function as we intend), the conflict adaptation account has emerged as a foundational construct explaining how control is recruited. Namely, how it is enlisted in response to and with the purpose of overcoming conflict between cognitive processing pathways, ultimately focusing on that which we intend to focus on. In recent years, this theory has been contested by a separate account of control, namely the Parallel Episodic Processing (PEP) model that seeks to demonstrate that much of the evidence illustrating cognitive control can alternatively, and perhaps more appropriately, be explained by more simple learning and memory-based mechanisms independent of conflict monitoring. While the PEP model has been used in many tries to target specific elements of conflict monitoring, this paper seems to be the first attempt in the literature to compare the underlying neural-network computation models of the two potential explanations side by side under similar conditions. More specifically, we are analyzing how the two models differ, and perhaps are similar, in how they work through several control-related well-studied cognitive effects such as Proportion Congruency in the Stroop task and Item Specific Proportion Congruency , and what we can learn about their theoretical assumptions and their effectiveness as a result.|

If you are looking for an easy way to reduce stress, you may want to try drinking some green tea. There are many benefits to drinking this nutrient-rich beverage. It can reduce stress, improve your brain function, and even reduce the risk of developing bone loss.
L-theanine In Green Tea Reduces Stress
L-theanine is an amino acid that is present in tea leaves. It is a non-protein amino acid that is believed to be responsible for the umami flavor of tea. The amino acid has been found to reduce stress.
In addition to its effects on the brain, it may also provide some neuroprotective properties. Some studies have shown that l-theanine supplementation may prevent Alzheimer’s disease. There is evidence that it may also protect the brain from age-related damage.
The amino acid may help reduce anxiety and improve mental focus. People with major depressive disorder may find that l-theanine is a useful alternative to antidepressants. A combination of antipsychotic medication and L-theanine may reduce anxiety symptoms more effectively than monotherapy.
While L-theanine has a reputation for providing relief from stress, it has also been found to boost focus and memory. Researchers have also noted that it helps people to sleep better. This supplement may be beneficial to people suffering from insomnia.
Studies have indicated that L-theanine may increase the volume of the brain. L-theanine increases levels of GABA and serotonin, which are hormones that help regulate mood and alertness. Taking a supplement of L-theanine may be beneficial for those who experience stress and sleep problems.
L-theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in a variety of foods. Some mushrooms contain small amounts of L-theanine. If you choose to add l-theanine to your diet, make sure to consult a physician. However, L-theanine is considered safe when taken as instructed by the package.
EGCG In Green Tea
EGCG, the green tea extract, is a potent antioxidant. However, it may also be a cause of thyroid disease. As a result, a cup of tea is not the cure-all that it seems. In fact, a large amount of research has been dedicated to determining the effects of the popular drink. A number of studies have been conducted, most of them in Asia. These have found that consuming more than three cups of tea a day is a risk factor for NTD.
The best thing about this beverage is its ability to boost your immune system. Studies have shown that green tea may be able to suppress the growth of harmful bacteria. This means that you can enjoy a healthy diet while keeping your gut healthy. Moreover, the tea also has anti-inflammatory properties. One study even showed that it can be used as a mild anti-hypertensive. Green tea may be just the ticket if you are suffering from a cold.
While there are no guarantees, a cup or two of green tea a day is probably a good idea. However, if you are prone to hypertension, you may want to avoid the caffeine content of your cup of joe. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water. It has been known for some time that drinking plenty of water may help you ward off cancer. Additionally, consuming too much caffeine can lead to liver toxicity, which can be deadly.
L-theanine In Green Tea Improves Brain Function
Theanine, a non-protein amino acid found in green tea, improves brain function. It also has a relaxing effect and may help people with hyperactivity to stay focused. However, more research is needed to confirm this.
Theanine’s effects may be attributed to its effect on neurotransmitters. They play a key role in regulating mood, alertness, concentration, and sleep. L-theanine may play a role in protecting the brain from chronic nerve inflammation and other damage.
Studies have shown that L-theanine improves memory. In addition to enhancing recall, it has been shown to prevent interference with learning. Moreover, it has been shown to increase levels of dopamine and GABA, which are important in the regulation of mood and anxiety.
L-theanine has been found to decrease corticosterone and stress-related hormones. Furthermore, it has been found to reduce the number of omission errors in working memory tasks.
In addition, L-theanine has been found to increase alpha waves, which are associated with “wakeful relaxation” and focus. Moreover, it has been found to enhance visual attentional performance.
Previous studies have tested the effect of l-theanine on elderly individuals. Among other findings, they observed that l-theanine increased the ability to remember verbal sentences. Further research should evaluate its effects in younger adults and in mild cognitive impairment.
Another study evaluated the effect of L-theanine on the dentate gyrus of the brain. This is a region of the brain that plays an important role in learning, memory, and cognitive processing.

A method for exploring design possibilities by making short films about how people might use a technology in the future. Concept videos often focus on the context and benefits of use, rather than on specific interaction details.
Some prototyping methods concentrate on the granular details of a design — what functions and controls to include, and how to lay them out. Because concept videos tell stories and avoid minutiae, they are better suited to explaining a new vision.
The image on this card comes courtesy of our friends at Adaptive Path, who created a series of concept videos to illustrate a future browser called Aurora for Mozilla Labs. Many thanks Jesse!

Route Mobile, a cloud communications service provider, will launch its initial public offering next week to raise an estimated Rs 600 crore, merchant banking sources said on Thursday.
The public offer comprises a fresh issue worth Rs 240 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 360 crore by promoters — Y Sandipkumar Gupta and Rajdipkumar Gupta, as per the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) filed by the company.
Additionally, a pre-IPO placement aggregating up to Rs 100 crore may be considered in consultation with the book running lead managers (BRLMs) which will reduce the size of the offer, retrospectively, the draft papers noted.
The company had received approval from markets regulator Sebi in December 2019 to float the initial public offer (IPO).
The cloud communications service provider had initially filed for its IPO in January 2018. Later, it refiled the document in October 2019.
According to market sources, the company failed to bring its IPO even after receiving approval in 2018 because of unfavourable market conditions.
ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, Edelweiss Financial Services and IDBI Capital Markets & Securities are the managers to the issue.
Apart from Route Mobile, the initial share-sale of IT services firm Happiest Minds Technologies will be open for public subscription during September 7-9. The IPO is expected to garner Rs 702 crore. | <urn:uuid:cc68f282-7625-4b22-8efa-60db59fd71d7> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,373 |
Wish list of functions
A program contains multiple functions. We don't know all the functions that we will write for any program at the beginning. We have some idea, but the details are not clear. As we start to write our program, the need for new functions arise. So how do we keep track of functions that we need to work on? Use a wish list!
What does a function wish list look like?
It's pretty simple. It has three components, each one added to code as a comment:
- function name
- function signature: input and output data types
- purpose: what does the function compute?
Suppose we need a function that count the number of ‘a's in a string. What will a wish list entry of this function look like:
; how-many-a's? ; String -> Number ; count the number of a's in a string
Here we are saying our function name is
how-many-a's?. Of course you want to meet the syntax requirements of naming a function for a particular language. In the signature comment, we say that this function consumes a string and produces a number. Lastly, we note the purpose of the function, in this case, count the number of occurrences of letter a in the input string.
That's it! You continue to add items to your wish list. Pick one item, work on it and take it off from the wish list. When nothing is left in the wish list, celebrate!

Water filtration has and will always remain an important safety feature. Each day, environmental pollution levels keep skyrocketing and the water that flows into our houses get contaminated by smoke, bacteria, lead and harmful material. It is even said that many people die from water contamination than other natural disasters.
Ancient filtration systems used to help people get clean water. However, their mode of functioning was not as impressive as the current technology. They could only eliminate sediments from water, but some materials and microorganisms passed through.
Modern filters are designed to remove both macro and micro elements. Top-of-the-line technologies go a notch higher and rid water of one of the most harmful elements; lead.
Under extreme levels, lead can cause serious side effects. Quite unfortunately, the pipes that transport water into our homes are coated or made from lead.
So, even after the water company has purified the water, you’ll still need to redo it. Here are some of the common types of the filters you can use to purify your water.
Types of Water Filters
Carafe water filters are efficient in purifying water. They eliminate chloroform and lead from water. However, they are small scale filters that work best to serve the needs of a few people, preferably one or two. For a large family, it will take quite some time before they produce adequate water.
Not all Carafe filters are efficient. You need to compare several of them to get one that works effectively.
Also known as faucet mounted filters, tap filters are pretty easy to install. You just remove the faucet aerator and put the filter in its place. Considering the high speed at which water flows, faucet mounted faucet don’t work efficiently alone.
They need to be coupled with activated charcoal filters to get chlorine, odor, and taste out of the water. Some tap filters remove lead from water as well.
There is one good thing about tap filters; they give you the option to use either filtered or unfiltered water. All in all, not all house chores such floor mopping need filtered water.
Undercounter and Countertop filters
Countertop and undercounter filters connect to you water inlet thus ensuring drinking and cooking water is safe. They are the best pick for huge families.
Depending on the size, some are small and can be placed next to the sink while others are compact and can be installed into the faucet.
Different Countertop and Undercounter filters serve different needs. Some remove chlorine, some remove lead while others are tasked with sediment removal. That means, when buying these types of filters, you need to know what your needs are.
However, advanced models have the capability to remove lead, odors, chlorine, mercury and microorganisms from water.
Counter and undercountertop filters process a large amount of water, approximately 450- 1500 gallons, which is way higher than what tap and carafe filters process. There is, however, one drawback to these filters; they are POS and point of use filters-this means filtration occurs at a single point only-the kitchen.
Reverse Osmosis Filters
They are probably the best filters that free water of all impurities. They rely on pressure to force water through a semi-permeable where most contaminants, are left behind because they are made of bigger molecules than water.
As efficient as RO filters are, they do lack flaws. Since they rely on water pressure, the water flow at the faucet comes at a low speed. Additionally, the membranes may need frequent maintenance and changing.
Reverse Osmosis filters clean out essential minerals from water. Hence, you need to buy advanced models equipped with carbon mineral filter to add some minerals back into your drinking water.
Whole house Filters
Also called Point of Entry systems, these filters ensure the kitchen, bathroom, and any other tap provides clean and safe drinking water. They are essential for people who have hard or iron water problems. Due to the complicated nature of their functioning, you may require professional aid to set them up.
Like most filters, different models remove various contaminants. So, if you want your water to be purified from all contaminants, the high-end models will be the best pick. | <urn:uuid:2455a92a-064f-4db5-8c56-5fc2e60a506d> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 4,251 |
