A newly-discovered arsenic-containing compound produced by a soil bacterium shows promise as a broad-spectrum antibiotic. In a paper published in the Nature journal Communications Biology, an international team of researchers demonstrated that arsinothricin (AST) is effective against many types of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The effort was led by Barry Rosen of the Florida International University College of Medicine and Masafumi Yoshinaga of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) in Japan. Banumathi Sankaran, a research scientist in the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology (BSCB) at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), was an author on the paper.
Locking Protein Structure to Close the Door on Cancer
Mutations in the proteins that regulate cellular processes such as growth, division, and death are often linked to cancer and other diseases. The proper function of one of these proteins, SHP2, depends on maintaining equilibrium in a structural tug-of-war between an open (active) and a closed (inactive) arrangement. A team of researchers from Brandeis University performed X-ray crystallography at Advanced Light Source (ALS) Beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2—part of the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology—to elucidate the structures of healthy and mutated forms of SHP2 and the dynamic interchange between their open and closed conformations, as well as how SHP2 interacts with certain cancer drugs.

Researchers Identify Openings for Shuttering Virus Factories
A team led by Mary Estes of the Baylor College of Medicine used rotavirus as a model to study some of the proteins involved in making the cytoplasmic compartments in which many DNA and RNA virus pathogens replicate. Banumathi Sankaran, a research scientist in the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology (BSCB) at the Advanced Light Source, collected the X-ray data at the BCSB Beamline 5.0.1 that were used to solve the three-dimensional structures of nonstructural protein NSP2. Understanding the functions of proteins that make these compartments could offer an avenue for disrupting virus production. The team published their findings in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Programming Proteins to Pair Perfectly
Bioscientists at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab lent their expertise to a project led by scientists at the University of Washington to design proteins in the lab that zip together like DNA. The technique could enable the design of protein nanomachines to help diagnose and treat disease, allow for more precise engineering of cells, and perform a variety of other tasks.
Newly Characterized Toxin Gives Bacterium a Leg Up on the Competition
Bacteria deploy various biological mechanisms to fend off their competition, which are often other bacteria. In some cases, they secrete toxins in their fight for survival. A newly discovered toxin stands out from others in the battle for microbial domination. Marc Allaire, Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging (MBIB) Division researcher, worked with a team led by Joseph Mougous of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and University of Washington School of Medicine, to characterize this new toxin.

Last wednesday, after a morning introducing the delights of Illustrator’s mesh tool to my first years (Hi guys!) I dashed off campus to catch the 10.59 to King’s Cross. I reached the train doors as it was just starting to move, and hoping that I could make a dramtic leap onto the moving train at the end of the platform (just like in the old movies) I realised that I was a bit hampered by a couple of things. Firstly, as an unfit, overweight forty-one year old, I was seriously not up to the job of chasing a moving train twenty yards, let alone the length of the platform! Secondly, the doors were firmly locked as I furiously jabbed at the button, and lastly, there was a rather large Guard making his way to intercept me.
After a short interval where I recovered and reduced my heartrate to a less dangerous level, and a much longer one as I waited for the 11.59, I considered my plans for the day. This was a rare treat; to head out midweek for a bit of CPD and recharge the old batteries, instead of chasing endless paperwork.
My main reason for going was to attend the Brody lecture, but this being an evening event, that left a good amount of time for some other stuff. I had recently found out about a small exhibition of posters by Alan Kitching and Celia Stothard’s Typography Workshop and was looking forward to seeing some excellent print and typography. I was also planning to catch up with some ex-students who are now working or studying in London, and was anticipating a bit af good warmth humour.
As I was on a different train to what I had set out for, I was surprised to be intercepted by Christian (ex-student, excellent graphic designer, musician, fim-maker and all round good-egg) as I stepped off, and so we immediately made our way south to Advanced Graphics where the Kitching exhibition was. Surprisingly, we were allowed to take a good many photographs and had a very pleasant chat with the gallery owner Bob Saitch, who was very knowledgable and unsurprisingly well-connected! Both of us wished we could afford to buy one of the prints. Donations welcome…
Here are the best of my images. As the prints were all displayed behind glass, there is some reflection and glare in these, but I think you’ll get the picture. I think Christian may have got some better ones though…
This poster was about A1 and very heavily inked. The white/grey colour you can see in these photos is silver ink. Below is a close up – look at the amount of ink on the inside diagonal stroke of the ‘M’ (click to enlarge).
The depth of the overprinted letters can really be seen close up.
And as we left and made our way up to the river through Borough Market we stumbled upon these two billboards under the railway bridge. I was pretty amazed at the co-incindence in the style of what we had just seen in the gallery, and I assumed this was a beautiful coincidence to add some level of importance to the day, but I have since found out that this is indeed Kitching’s work too! (there is a small credit on the second poster) Still beautiful I think – maybe more so! | <urn:uuid:09580f30-848d-4a54-b50c-958195d1656e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,067 |
In order to be effective, the use of technology in science, engineering, manufacturing and technology education must involve not only the provision of equipment such as computer hardware, software and machineries. Also the human aspects of essential content, engaging presentation, effective pedagogy, appropriate evaluation, and widespread dissemination. Communication and computing provide dynamic tools, placing nearly continuous demands on financial reserves and human resources as equipment and professional training are revised and upgraded. The write up will be limited to how to optimize a proper and effective delivery and monitoring of Science, Engineering and Technology Education Management in higher institution using Africa as a hypothetical example, and other issues in order to define unique perspectives, concerns, and desirable benefits of
educational technology to a broad range, regardless of the rapidity or direction of change offered by exciting and revolutionary new technologies, the true challenge for developing guiding principles and optima delivery and management for their appropriate implementation lies in the inclusion of all students at all types of academic institutions, with secure and tangible links to the public and private sectors. Again, while access for all, coherence in underlying infrastructure, and compliance between the skills taught in school and those necessary in the workplace are fundamental, it is the collective effort of our human capital that will ensure these powerful tools do not instead widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots. | <urn:uuid:18e0db07-480e-4eae-957a-5b935aec9782> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,599 |
Creating a Compassionate Civilization: An Interview with Robertson Work
It’s clear to most of us these days that compassion is a much-needed quality in the world. But what actually is it? And how can we help it grow and develop around us? In recent decades in North America, a growing number of Buddhists have recognized the need to bring Buddhism “off the cushion” and out into the world. For many, this call has been inspired by the Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, and for some by the pioneering efforts of the Indian reformer Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. But for others, there is simply a direct realization that their values of compassion and wisdom mean little if they do not translate into action.
This month we interviewed Robertson Work, who has a lifetime of experience dealing with this intersection of compassion and action. Among his many titles and positions are NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service adjunct professor of innovative leadership, founder and facilitator of the Collaborative for Compassionate Civilization, and as a facilitator and trainer for the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, UN-Habitat, and the East-West Center, among others. Additionally, Work is a Fulbright Senior Specialist assisting universities overseas and a Fellow of the NYU Wagner Research Center for Leadership in Action. Last summer he published the book A Compassionate Civilization: The Urgency of Sustainable Development and Mindful Activism—Reflections and Recommendations, now available at major book retailers.
Buddhistdoor Global: Thank you for agreeing to this interview, Robertson. It’s very much appreciated. We’ll begin with your book title. What does it mean to have a compassionate civilization? This sounds like something Buddhists can strive for, but quite often Buddhists think of cultivating compassion just within themselves and not at a societal level. How would you address that? And in terms of the social level, what are we missing?
Robertson Work: Compassion is not pity and goes beyond empathy. Compassion is the intention and action to relieve the suffering of another being or oneself. If you apply compassion to a community or nation or global society, your policies and systems must be designed and implemented to relieve the suffering of all people and other beings within that community, nation, or global society. A civilization of compassion would be based on such intentions and actions within collective cultures and systems, and as well as within individual mindsets and behaviors. The purpose of such a civilization, therefore, would be to relieve suffering, and promote the happiness of all beings on planet Earth.
If Buddhists focus on cultivating compassion just within themselves, they are not being bodhisattvas. A compassionate being who understands the truth of interbeing and impermanence is motivated to liberate other beings from delusion and suffering. Bodhisattvas, as engaged Buddhists, must take part in political, social, economic, cultural, and environmental actions that relieve suffering. This includes engagement at various levels—family, community, city, state, nation, international, and planetary. Of course, this is an impossible mission but we have always known that the vows to relieve all suffering are such. However, we continue to make this vow and take every action that we can within our spheres of influence.
BDG: Next, the urgency. I know that many people on the political left, people of color, environmentalists, etc., have been dismayed by the election of Donald Trump and by so much of his rhetoric. Was this behind that sense of urgency? Or are there factors that have been developing for years or decades that you feel are just as urgent?
RW: I began writing this book in 2013 and had been speaking about these topics at UN conferences and my NYU classes since 2011. So the sense of urgency was not because of the 2016 US elections. I have believed for some time that we live in the most critical time in human history, a time to do what is necessary or face the direst of consequences. We are confronted by multiple, interlocking crises including, among others: climate chaos, patriarchy, systemic poverty, plutocracy, bigotry, and perpetual warfare. Climate chaos alone is sufficient to threaten human and nonhuman life on Earth. Climate chaos, along with the other five crises must be addressed urgently or human civilization and indeed life on Earth are in grave danger.
Since November 2016, the sense of urgency and danger has become widespread in the US and throughout the world. People are becoming more involved in political and societal processes and are committing themselves to be part of a “movement of movements” (MOM) that will address these six crises and engage in societal transformation. The environmental movement is committed to environmental sustainability. The women’s movement is all out for gender equality. The new economy movement is fighting for socio-economic justice. The democracy movement is passionate about participatory governance. The human rights movement is pushing for cultural tolerance. And the peace movement is deeply committed to nonviolence. Working together, these six movements, and many others, are our hope for realizing a sustainable and just society. A Compassionate Civilization was published in August 2017 and was offered as a progressive guidebook for these forces of transformation.
BDG: And then the last two parts, which seem related but also very separable: sustainable development and mindful activism.
RW: Working for sustainable development is the sacred charge for those who care. The UN’s 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) are a major piece of this global effort. The six movements and transformations mentioned earlier are a shorthand for our mindful activism in this quest for a compassionate civilization. This is not merely a utopian task but a necessary one to reinvent human civilization and save life on Earth. It is realized moment by moment, not only in some distant future. When you or I manifest generosity in a world driven by greed, this new world appears. When we offer kindness in a world consumed by hatred, a compassionate civilization is born. When we exhibit trust and courage in a world racked by fear, a new order of being becomes present. Being mindful moment by moment, and manifesting understanding and compassion again and again moves us ever closer to the realization of a civilization of compassion.
BDG: You have quite an extensive résumé. Can you tell us about some of your travels or life experiences that have most impacted you in terms of your work today?
RW: Forty years ago I began meditating and studying Buddhist sources. I found that the challenge of being a bodhisattva was what I had always looked for and had been trying to live. I first tried to change the world from the bottom up, through grassroots community development projects working for 21 years with a nonprofit, the Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA) in Asia (especially in Malaysia and South Korea) and the Caribbean (Jamaica and Venezuela). I then tried to create a better world from the top down through national and global policy improvements of decentralized governance in countries around the world, working with the United Nations Development Program in New York City for 16 years. Finally, these past 10 years, I have tried to promote sustainable development by changing the minds and hearts of individuals by teaching innovative leadership at New York University (NYU) Wagner Graduate School of Public Service in NYC.
I have learned so very much from the many people around the world with whom I have had the pleasure to work. After working in over 50 countries, now at 73, I am focusing my energies on being an activist in my own country, the USA, and being an author. At the same time, I continue to do some consulting work for the UN as well as some teaching. My daily practice of meditation and mantras and my Buddhist studies and retreats continue to help me live a life of understanding and compassion as a grandfather and a world servant. I am deeply grateful for being a human being on planet Earth.
BDG: What do you hope will come of your new book? Changed individuals? Local/community groups? National shifts in discourse and priorities?
RW: My hope for A Compassionate Civilization is that it may serve many people in the US and around the world at this critical moment of history. I hope that it can provide a vision of a possible future that is sustainable and just, inspiration to undertake societal transformation in one or all six areas, strengthening the movement of movements, practical methods for being a mindful activist as an innovative leader and global-local citizen, and finally to provide practices of care for self and others while engaging in catalyzing a compassionate civilization moment by moment. That’s a lot to ask of one book, but those are my sincere hopes. And in a couple of months there will be a Nepali-language edition of the book translated and prepared by a Nepali nonprofit, ICA Nepal. They are giving a copy to each parliamentarian and to other officials in their work to create a more compassionate Nepal.
BDG: Are there any final thoughts or points that you’d like to address?
RW: I would like to thank you for inviting me to participate in this interview and hope that this will stimulate further discussion and action related to being an engaged Buddhist as a bodhisattva in this make-or-break year and decade. I can be contacted at email@example.com, and via my blog, “A Compassionate Civilization.”

Benjamin Louvet, Commodity manager at OFI Invest AM.
In this interview, Benjamin Louvet, Commodity manager at Ofi Invest AM, discusses the investment objective, asset allocation, and performance history of OFI Invest Precious Metals Fund, which provides investors with exposure to the performance of gold and other precious metals. He also explores the fund manager's investment philosophy and approach to managing precious metals investments, as well as the factors driving their performance in the current economic environment. Additionally, he discusses the potential risks and opportunities associated with investing in precious metals.
OFI Invest Precious Metals is aimed at giving investors a way to get exposed to gold and precious metals' performance. As UCITS-compliant funds have to be diversified, the fund is exposed not only to gold but also to silver, platinum, and palladium, which are all considered precious metals. But the correlation between the fund’s performance and the one of gold is pretty high, varying between 75% and 85% over time.
The fund is exposed to gold (35%), silver (20%), platinum (20%), and palladium (20%). The 5% remaining are exposed to short-term interest rates on the dollar (SOFR contract). The fund is rebalanced every day, as its allocation is flirting with the limit fixed by the UCITS regulation. Thus, investors know exactly every day what they are exposed to.
On a 5 years period (as of 27/04/2023), the fund’s net performance is up +26,21%, and on a 3 years period, it is up +10.45%. There are no “peers” properly speaking. If you compare the performance of the fund with the one of gold or gold miners (NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index for example), the fund’s net performance is below the one of gold (gross of fees) on a 5 years period, but better on a 3 years period.
In a world where a kind of de-globalization is more and more likely, with the massive investment needed in the transformation of energy production, while major economies are already highly indebted, confidence in fiat currencies is progressively questioned. As gold is “no one’s debt” and can’t go bankrupt, it is more and more considered as a potential store of value. This situation should lead to low real interest rates for a long period of time. As gold has no yield, it will benefit from the low real yield on other asset classes. It could also profit from worries about the economy, coming from the end of globalization and the geopolitical situation. But more than this, precious metals are also more and more part of the ongoing energy transition. Demand from green technologies for silver went from almost zero 10 years ago, to roughly 25% of the worldwide silver production today. And the demand keeps growing! That’s the same for platinum and palladium.
Precious metals had a bumpy year in 2022. They went sharply up at the beginning of the year because of worries coming from the war in Ukraine, before correcting sharply with the less accommodative policies implemented by central banks because of inflation. Since the start of this year, gold went back up, and is now close to its highest ever. Silver is following. Platinum and palladium are still lagging, even if the situation recently improved. The main factor for gold and silver will be the central banks' monetary policy. Should real interest rates go lower, gold and silver prices should go higher. Central banks' gold purchases are also important, as they show that institutions that set interest rates are keen to invest in gold. Central banks made their biggest gold purchase since 1967 last year, and the period January-February this year was the best start in terms of central banks' gold purchases since at least 2010!
For platinum and palladium, the 2 main factors will be production uncertainty in South Africa (which produces 80% of the world's platinum production, and 40% of palladium) due to power outages, and the recovery in the auto sectors as these 2 metals are mainly used to produce catalytic converters. Also, they could be supported by the quick development of hydrogen technology, as platinoids are used in certain types of electrolyzers and fuel cells.
Gold and silver are mainly driven by real interest rates. So the main risk would be to see real interest rates going higher, making gold’s investment less attractive. But it is highly unlikely as the government’s debt would make the debt burden unbearable. For platinum, palladium, and silver, the main risk is the one of substitution. As they are highly used in green technologies, should an innovation makes them less useful, the demand could fade rapidly and depresses prices.

The Portofino Hand-Wound Tourbillon Rétrograde Story
The name of the Portofino Hand-Wound Tourbillon Rétrograde contains three wonderful complications: the hand-wound movement with an 8-day power reserve, the flying tourbillon at “6 o’clock” and the retrograde date display that stretches from “8” to “10 o’clock”. The hand-wound 59900 calibre allows the integration of a hacking tourbillon, which makes it possible to set the time precisely to the second. The retrograde date display shows the date in analogue form with a date hand that moves in an arc from the 1st to the 31st of the month. The hand jumps back automatically to “one” after the last day of months with 31 days. In months with fewer than 31 days or when the watch has not been used for a while, the date display can be advanced rapidly and jumps back to the first of the month. The silver-plated dial shimmers brightly inside the 18-carat 5N gold case. The watch is fitted with a dark brown alligator leather strap from the luxury manufacturer Santoni. | <urn:uuid:980a2f3f-a179-4f2b-a673-86ca662fa66b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,020 |
Asthma affects between 3% and 12% of pregnant women worldwide and the prevalence among pregnant women is rising,
it’s often unrecognized and suboptimal treated. The course of asthma during pregnancy varies; it improves, remains stable, or worsens in similar proportion of women. The risk of an asthma exacerbation is high immediately postpartum, but the severity of asthma usually returns to the preconception level after delivery and often follows a similar course during subsequent pregnancies. Good control of asthma is essential for maternal and fetal wellbeing.
Patients and Methods: A prospective cohort study was adopted to achieve the study aim. The study conducted from January 2003 through September 2003. Asthmatic and non-asthmatic pregnant women were randomly selected from the outpatient clinics, in patient clinics and emergency department of Al-Razi Teaching Hospital in Mosul city, the data obtained including age, height and weight, parity and gravid, history with a clinical examination of respiratory system and history of maternal and fetal complications. These points were recorded in an especially designed collection form for all women examined after they were consent a form 102 asthmatics pregnant and 115 non-asthmatics pregnant were enrolled in the study; 92 and 93 of them respectively were followed to delivery by researcher and the assessment of maternal and fetal outcomes was done. Percentages, relative risk ratio, p-value and 95% confidence interval were calculated with SPSS version 18.
Results: The age interval (25-34) represents 58.7% of the asthmatic pregnant. The first, second and third trimesters correspond to 6.2%, 32.6% and 60.8% of asthmatic pregnant respectively. Regarding the symptoms, the study shows that Dyspnoae is the most common symptoms among them follows by wheeze, cough and chest tightness and lastly expectoration with percentage of 65.2%. Moreover finds out that 59 (64.2%) had worsening of symptoms during the three trimesters of pregnancy, 28 (30.4%) had No change in the severity of asthma and remainder 5 (5.4%) of them show improvement. The adverse maternal outcomes; hyperemesis gravid arum (RR of 1.43), recurrent hospital admission (RR= 2.26) and the severity of asthma in pregnant women with boys (RR= 2.29) occurs with high significant association. Also the infant outcomes; that the wheezy chest, fetal death and congenital anomalies occur in high significant statistical association among the asthmatic pregnant group with RR (1.66, 1.72, and 1.66 respectively).
Conclusion: Symptoms of asthmatic patients during the pregnancy are more severe than without pregnancy. The symptoms are more sever in third trimester, which are caused by mechanical factors and the severity of asthma is more in mothers bearing boys. More over some adverse maternal and infant outcomes were significant statistically associated with asthma. | <urn:uuid:49c5aac8-12aa-49fa-9bcf-61f7ba18c5e8> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,894 |
Neue Slowenische Kunst—An Event of the Final Decade of Yugoslavia.
In fall 2016, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art presented NSK: FROM KAPITAL TO CAPITAL, the first major survey show in Russia of the Slovenian art collective Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), developed by the Moderna galerija in Ljubljana. The exhibition traces key events from 1980 to 1992—concerts, shows, theatrical productions, performances, guerrilla actions, public proclamations—by the four core groups that comprised NSK. In 1992, partly in response to the breakup of Yugoslavia, the groups ceased working as a collective and launched the “NSK State in Time,” a utopian formation which describes itself as “the first global state of the Universe.”
The collective Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) was founded in 1984 by three groups––the multimedia group Laibach (formed1980), the visual arts group IRWIN (formed 1983) and Scipion Nasice Sisters Theater (1983-1987). In the same year, the three groups founded a fourth group, the design department New Collectivism. Later, NSK established other departments: the Department of Pure and Applied Philosophy (1986), Retrovision (1987), Film (1984), and Builders (1985).
Within the exhibition, three sections follow the individual groups, and one is dedicated to the five departments, expanding the way each enacted the core principles of NSK within its own field. A fifth section looks at the key themes the groups critically examined together which, after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the formation of the new state of Slovenia, would lead to the creation of the “NSK State in Time.”
This first exhibition of the NSK collective is placed within the economic and sociopolitical context of the 1980s, a turbulent decade that preceded the collapse of the old world order and heralded the ever-increasing reach of capitalism. As a unique, self–organized alliance formed in response to this situation, NSK gave an atistic proposal for a different system and a different type of institution, developing its own principles of organization, economy, and terminology for the collective’s artistic practices. The proposal they put forward challenges the simplistic binary opposition of socialist versus capitalist ideology, marking NSK as a global cultural phenomenon transcending its specific time and space.
NSK’s aesthetic and vast theoretical output made use of various art traditions, including the ideas of the Russian avant-garde, which experienced a revival in Yugoslavia in the early 1980s. Each group adapted the avant-garde’s utopian tendencies and iconography to produce individual versions of the “retro” method they adopted as an artistic approach.
In the early 1990s, the collective started an intense relationship with the Moscow art scene which, in 1992, resulted in the organization of the NSK Moscow Embassy—a month-long series of lectures and debates—as part of the “NSK State in Time.” Their exhibition in Moscow twenty-four years later can thus be seen as both a symbolic “return” and an homage to the source of the collective’s unique ideological worldview.
The exhibition is accompanied by a free booklet in Russian and English which provides information on the various groups and their works, as well as a comprehensive introduction to the movement. The English language catalogue, NSK: FROM KAPITAL TO CAPITAL: Neue Slowenische Kunst––An Event of the Final Decade of Yugoslavia, edited by Zdenka Badovinac, Eda Čufer, and Anthony Gardner and published by Moderna galerija and MIT Press, will be available for purchase at Garage Bookshop.
NSK: FROM KAPITAL TO CAPITAL is curated by Zdenka Badovinac, Director of Moderna galerija, Ljubljana. It was first presented at the Moderna galerija in 2015, with a second iteration developed for the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven as part of the exhibition The 1980s. Today’s Beginnings? held earlier in 2016. Both exhibitions are part of the five-year program The Uses of Art – the Legacy of 1848 and 1989, organized by L’Internationale.
The exhibition at Garage is organized by Snejana Krasteva, Garage Curator.

How Games Convert
Written by Sara Moulton 20 April 2019
Looking for an effective method for converting leads into actual customers, clients, or sales for your business?
Whether you are trying to motivate someone to complete a task, or trying to convert leads with marketing campaigns, you are definitely going to see results if you make the entire process fun.
This is where gamification software truly excels as an effective method for attracting attention, engaging with consumers, and converting online leads into customers — no matter if you operate in a consumer (B2C) or enterprise (B2B) environment.
Ongoing engagement: how gamification
converts leads into sales
As we already know, gamification in marketing involves the use of game mechanisms (such as points, levels, and rewards) to connect with and impact the behavior of consumers in a target market.
By incorporating game design elements such as inclusiveness, achievement, competition, rewards, and fun into marketing campaigns, you are providing a variety of incentives for your target audience to interact with your brand or business.
The main objectives of utilizing gamification strategies with marketing campaigns should be to attract the attention of your target audience and create ongoing engagement with them in order to:
Nurture relationships with potential customers
Lead potential customers through the buyer’s journey
Convert people from being potential customers into actual customers
Retain customer loyalty in the future
Encourage brand advocacy
= higher conversion rates
Engaging with leads at different touch points throughout the buyer’s journey gives your business an opportunity to build rapport and develop strong relationships with leads. By developing strong relationships with your leads, you are able to personalize their experience, establish trust, and make them more receptive to your marketing messages.
In a recent survey by Accenture Interactive, 48% of consumers reported leaving a company’s website and purchasing from a competitor due to a poorly personalized experience. Compare this to findings from an Epsilon research report on personalization and marketing performance, which found that 80% of consumers interviewed indicated they are more likely to do business with a company if it offers personalized experiences.
What does this show?
Marketing strategies that focus on personalizing the experience of a target audience, nurturing that relationship with positive interactions, and creating a highly-engaged lead have the ability to transform these leads into actual profits.
Gamification encourages potential customers
to enter the customer journey loop
The use of gamification not only attracts the attention of consumers in a busy marketplace, it is also one of the most effective methods for pushing leads through the buyer’s journey to generate sales.
By offering the right type of rewards at different touch points throughout the buyer’s journey, businesses can ensure their leads are constantly being ushered through the journey and getting closer to becoming brand loyalists.
THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY LOOP
Knowing that insanely high engagement and retention are possible by gamifying marketing campaigns, we predict that gamification will be the launchpad of marketing initiatives in the future. | <urn:uuid:7717ec66-4533-4a8e-bd27-9aa1ff637679> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,304 |
BRAZIL: Well restoring project ensures clean water access in remote villages
Project is part of the Salesian Mission of Mato Grosso, which aims to provide technical support to Salesians working with Indigenous people
(MissionNewswire) Team members of the Ambulant Missionary Assistance (AMA) Project, led by Salesian Brother Alois, provided maintenance to seven artesian wells in Xavante villages in Campinápolis, Brazil. Heavy rains and thunderstorms are frequent in the region, and lightning often causes damage to well pumps, leaving communities without drinking water. The water of the rivers becomes muddy and unsuitable for human consumption, putting the health of Indigenous people, especially children, at risk.
The AMA Project is part of the Salesian Mission of Mato Grosso, which aims to provide technical support to Salesians working with Indigenous populations including the Xavante and Boe-Bororo ethnic groups.
“Projects like this help ensure that remote communities have access to the drinking water they need,” said Father Gus Baek, director of Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco. “Improving water access brings a sense of dignity to children and their families and reduces the number of waterborne illnesses affecting these villages.”
UN-Water estimates that worldwide 2.2 billion people are living without access to safe water. One in four primary schools has no drinking water service, with students using unprotected water sources or going thirsty. In addition, UN-Water notes that more than 700 children under age 5 die every day from diarrheal disease linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation.
Brazil has one of the strongest economies in Latin America and is an important agricultural and industrial power in the region. Just over 15 percent of Brazilians live in poverty, with the majority living in the rural northeast of the country, according to the World Bank. While Brazil is making positive changes, there are still large gaps between the poor and the rich, and issues of income inequality and social exclusion remain at the root of poverty.
Issues of income inequality and social exclusion remain the root causes for those in poverty. Inequalities also exist in access to education and educational efficiency. These inequalities are greatest for children and youth who are poor, live in rural areas or who have an incomplete compulsory education. Salesians working with poor youth and their families in Brazil develop programs and provide youth with opportunities for furthering their education and skills.

Many warehouses are becoming distribution centers. Rather than just storing your products, chances are people come to your warehouse to pick them up. If you have clients and potential partners coming to your warehouse, you already know that regular cleaning is a must in order to make a good first impression. It also shows the people with whom you work that you are serious about your business. However, at Integrated Maintenance Solutions in Connecticut, we know that there are some other benefits to making sure that your warehouse is cleaned on a regular schedule.
A good commercial cleaning service will help you improve your efficiency. When things are neat and orderly, it becomes easier for your employees to find what they are looking for. They also won’t have to worry about where they step on the floor. When things are clean, they tend to remain clean. No one wants to be the first person to dirty a gleaming floor.
Improve Pride in Work
When your company management agrees that paying for commercial cleaning services is a good idea, they show the employees that management values a clean workplace. For many employees, that means that management values the business and the people that work there. When management takes pride in the work done at the warehouse, employees will take pride in their work. They will work more productively as they understand their work is important.
There are certain regulations that your warehouse must meet when you consider cleanliness guidelines. A commercial cleaning service in CT will help you meet those regulatory requirements. However, what is more important is that regular cleaning creates a healthier atmosphere. Dust can cause breathing issues and trigger asthma. Warehouses may also attract mice and other vermin that carry diseases. Keeping it clean helps limit the opportunity for these creatures to flourish. By improving the atmosphere, you will be helping keep your employees healthier. That means fewer sick days and more time for your best employees at their best positions. | <urn:uuid:93c900e9-2368-4695-8095-b4e015f857a2> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,040 |

Well, I have finished my stay at the Castello di Poreta, and am now spending 5 days in Rome before heading back to Atlanta. Unfortunately, there is no internet access where I am staying, and its really not feasible for me to type up posts in an internet cafe.
Look for some new posts when I get back to the ATL! In the meantime, go rent Dinner Rush and watch it. It’s a great mob movie thats set entirely in a restaurant. It rocks. (Thanks to Caleb for showing me this movie) | <urn:uuid:2109c404-8dca-4b11-8098-cd0b5d588fa8> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 475 |
Studies of urinary tract infection presented at the 2007 AUA annual meeting had important lessons for practicing urologists.
Patients who performed an at-home scrub of the abdomen and perineal region for 5 days prior to surgery showed a four-fold reduction in preoperative perineal colonization and reduction in postoperative bacterial count. However, there is a good deal of bacteria within the skin that no amount of scrubbing can reduce.
"This study clearly shows that you can significantly decrease the colony count on the skin, although you can't eliminate it, and that lessens the chance of morbid complications," Dr. Childs said.
"Based on these data, I'm going to suggest to all my patients who are going to have these devices inserted that they adhere to 5 days of washing and use something like chlorhexidine antibiotic wash or povidone-iodine," he said. "I don't think that I'm going to recommend it for transurethral surgery. And I'm not sure that I'm going to recommend it for open prostatectomy or for any type of surgery that doesn't involve an implantable device."
Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines for treating asymptomatic bacteriuria advise not to screen and treat premenopausal nonpregnant women, diabetic women, older members of the community, elderly institutionalized patients, people with spinal cord injuries, or patients with in-situ catheters.
"When you chronically treat people highly prone to repeated infection who are asymptomatic, all you're doing is trading a susceptible bacterial infection for a resistant bacterial infection. The bacteria are always going to become resistant eventually if they are treated multiple times," said Dr. Childs, who agrees with the guidelines on avoiding treatment. "If treatment is not getting rid of patients' pain and, certainly, in spinal cord injuries, they're not having pain, if they don't have fever or hematuria and they're not septic, why treat them?"
If patients have symptoms, especially fever and hematuria, which increase the risk of sepsis or bacteremia, he recommends treating the infection. Dr. Childs emphasized that women with diabetes need to be watched very carefully because "their immune systems are compromised, and if they develop fever, they must be treated immediately."
When it comes to screening, Dr. Childs thinks it's prudent to think carefully about each of these types of patients. In fact, he thinks patients in all these categories need to be screened periodically.
"When somebody calls me from the nursing home or from the rehabilitation center and says a patient with an in dwelling catheter or a spinal cord injury has a fever of 103, I want to know what the presumptive antibiotic is that I should prescribe. If I haven't done a culture and I don't have a current sensitivity, I won't know. If there has been a culture and sensitivity and the patient hasn't received any antibiotics since then, the chances are very good that that culture and sensitivity are valid. It's my policy-and I think this should be everyone's policy, especially urologists'-to periodically get a culture and sensitivity," he explained.
How often that needs to be done is a question that should be answered with a prospective study, Dr. Childs said. For now, he thinks it's reasonable to do a culture and sensitivity about as frequently as the patient gets a symptomatic infection. | <urn:uuid:7a3cc887-0756-4158-af1a-95ee247dcce5> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,376 |
Capturing a child’s imagination’ is a contradiction in terms, just think about it.
Imagination, by its nature needs to be free, untroubled, like a wild horse on the prairie. To capture this implies that you intend to stifle it rather than free it with stimulation.
Imagination needs to be fed by randomness, adventure, space, openness and freedom, not capturing and incarceration.
I’m sure the intentions of people who use this phrase (Capturing a child’s imagination) intend to free the mind of our young people through books and other stimulations but we need to be careful with language and how we use it.
Showing the potential of the mind is limitless, if we allow it to be and this should apply to adults as much as children.
One of my hero’s Spike Milligan wrote his first novel, ‘Puckoon’, about a mythical village in Ireland, without having ever paid us a visit. Using his vast imagination he got it right in a zany sort of way and then maybe not?
The great revelation in this book, for me, was how the main character argued with the author. The best part, to me, is where Dan Milligan complains about his legs and demands a better pair be written.
To a child everything is possible including what society considers as ‘Normal’. Unfortunately in ‘Capturing a child’s imagination’ we guarantee they will be ‘normal’.
Society needs to be challenged, the ‘Trumps’ ‘Kenny’s’ ‘Merkel's’ of this world need to see a new way, a road where everyone is seen as equal, yet different at the same time. We need the wider society to respect this difference and allow it to develop for the benefit of all.
We should all be equal in our difference but respected for it.
Just look at the people who have helped society most, Martin Luther King, The Wright brothers, Marconi, Edison, Graham Bell, Einstein amongst others. They were all strange in their own way but free thinkers.
These are some of the well-known ones but what about those who dare to think of a cure for cancer, dementia, are they not free thinkers, they need to be if they are to succeed and enable change.
These diseases and others will eventually be cured and we will travel around the world a quickly as a bus can bring us into town but only if we fail to ‘Capture Imagination’ and allow free thinking in our children, keeping it free all through life.
A genius is a child who keeps learning but never grows up.

Unlike many other books on pornography which concentrate on arguments about restricting or not restricting pornography, this book focuses on the production of adult videos. It outlines and examines the industrial dynamics of the industry, its strategies, technological capabilities and organisational structure. It discusses the socialisation of those who participate in the industry, the role of censorship, the nature of markets and the wider cultural impact of the industry.

"This is a serious, accessible and extremely important book that provides, for the first time in English, an introduction to Japan's adult video industry. Offering an in-depth historical overview of the postwar development of adult pornography, alongside a close ethnographic reading of its sites of production and consumption, the authors help to normalize this significant industry. They provide insight into how pornography has come to take on its distinctive contours in contemporary Japan, and how and why Japanese pornography stars, formats and genres have spread beyond Japan to influence the sexual cultures of neighboring societies in East Asia." - Mark McLelland, University of Wollongong, Australia
"This path-breaking volume opens up the world of Japan's videos industry to social scientific analysis. The authors very skillfully use observation, interviews and statistical data to depict the industry, sketch-out its social and cultural context and offer multifaceted insights about its internal characteristics and dynamics. It will become an anchor point for any future research." - Eyal Ben-Ari, Director, Kinneret Academic College, Israel | <urn:uuid:b03b7c0e-dd40-4128-a84c-d4431dcb6a38> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,005 |
As an executive search consultant for over 18 years, I have been working with clients of all shapes and sizes to secure the best possible talent for their businesses. Back in the 'old days', talent was defined as an individual who had the skills to do a great job and no attention was paid to whether candidates would integrate into team dynamics, shared company values or could fit culturally. Neither was any attention given to creating strong teams and the types of people needed to achieve this.
My first employer was a growing 6 man 'boutique' headhunting consultancy and I remember my boss declaring that he didn’t need to like everyone who worked for him and the results they brought was a more important assessment. I was young and inexperienced but even at that stage I disagreed with him and have always held the view that superstar performers who don’t hold the same positive team behaviours, aspirations or togetherness might produce profitable results but will always create unnecessary conflict and a level of uneasiness in the work environment. In fact, that employer had a revolving door, to simply put “bums on seats” and failed to appoint people who the team wanted to work with. Since those early days I have regularly witnessed clients suffering high attrition levels, not through departing superstars, but by the team around them seeking a more harmonious environment in which they can enjoy coming to work and ultimately perform.
You only have to look at football to see how team dynamics can be damaged by managers massaging superstar egos and not considering the unit as a whole: Ballotelli, Tevez, Barton, Anelka… There are also some examples of where strong managers have taken action for the good of the team e.g. Ferguson and Beckham or Veron and only recently the French football team manager left out Nasri from the World Cup team. Nasri has had his best season in the Premier League and so for many, his absence from selection was bemusing, however Didier Deschamps’s decision was explained in the media pointing to Nasri as a disruptive influence to the French team dynamics. Fair play to Deschamps and it appears to be paying off following their 3-0 demolition of Honduras and evidence of a team all fighting for one another. Other sporting analogies demonstrating the strength of a unified team is the New Zealand rugby team. The most successful international rugby team in history, the All Blacks have long understood what makes a good team focusing on the behaviours needed and not settling for anything less. Many a superstar Kiwi has failed to win the coveted All Blacks jersey due to their inability to share values and successfully integrate with the other players. Again an easy ideal but far harder to implement in practice. Every manager would want a high achiever to score their points for them but in reality, it comes at a cost if they operate outside the team.
Part of the issue in many companies has been the lack of identifying what their values are, their culture is or the culture they want to create. Not having clarity of the environment you want to create prevents you from benchmarking potential employees during the interview process. Only recently I met a rapidly growing client who asked to discuss two key senior level appointments with me. The managing director talked at length about the skills and experience he wanted to bring into his business to generate even more profit but, at no point did he discuss his team or the traits required for the individual to thrive in their environment. Recruitment is a significant investment and getting it wrong is very costly, it is therefore critical that you should not merely consider skills and experience but instead focus your efforts on understanding the team you want to create and the behaviours and values needed to achieve this.
Top 6 tips to create a strong team. Invest time to:
Understand your company vision, what does success look like?
Understand the team you already have and benchmark model employees
Work with your team to create a set of values you all want to live and breathe
Work with your team to create core behaviours that will ensure the team is aligned
Create a robust recruitment process ensuring that you assess not only someone’s skills but also their values, behaviours and ability to integrate into the team
Once you know what a successful employee looks like, don’t settle for anything less. A quick financial win in the short term will affect your performance later on

This post is intended for Christians looking to deepen their faith and mental health.
The Bible has a lot to say about fear and anxiety. In fact, some variation of “do not be afraid” is the most common directive in Scripture, occurring in some fashion more than ‘do not steal,’ ‘do not kill,’ and even ‘love your neighbor.’
How do anxiety and fear work? When we study these constructs in research, we are understanding mechanisms through which the body/brain is informed to face a threat or danger. We can argue these responses are inherently good, with their purpose being survival, protection, and preparedness. Its activation results in the sympathetic nervous system being primed: adrenalin and noradrenalin are produced, cortisol increases, heart rate increases, blood flow moves to muscles and away from extremities, speed and depth of breathing increases, and many other physiological changes occur. I’m grateful to have these responses- when they are in context. Out of context, they suck, to put it bluntly. Problems like panic attacks, worry, phobias, obsessiveness, skin/hair picking/pulling, preoccupation, social fears, avoidance, and more can be quite terrible.
One of the things I love most in my walk with Christ is context. Direction.
“The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:5b-6, ESV).
What is being said here? Partly, “Do not be anxious about anything.” Since anxiety is a feeling of imminent threat- or in other words, it’s at hand- it’s very interesting that immediately before this phrase in Scripture we have another observation revealing a different type of imminence: “The Lord is at hand.”
In the context of the Lord being near we are told, “Do not be anxious.” This Greek word for ‘be anxious,’ μεριμνᾶτε (transliterated as “merimnate”), means to be divided and distracted, fearful, and caring for things that are out of context.
Sounds a lot like anxiety disorders, right? Yep. Or even just day to day worry/anxiety? Yep. When a person feels anxiety and fear and misinterprets this as significant, a person’s entire life and values can shift to focus on whatever is the subject of their fear, whether classified medically as a disorder or not. This can lead to a preoccupation with avoiding something or someone (spiders, relationships, sex, social situations) to obsessively checking to make sure everything is okay (car, stove, locks, bodily sensations, health, perfectionistic behavior), or pursuing something (money, security, approval of others)- and MUCH more.
To help work through these things and avoid pathological responses, I believe we need supports like therapy, help from friends, breathing techniques, mindfulness, exposure techniques, etc. This only underscores our complexity (we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” yet simultaneously all messed up) and highlights what we are told in Scripture about our limits. We can rightly use these tools to help us, just as we do nutrition, medicine, community, and so forth. But there is one thing these tools can’t do on their own: attach us to the very God of the universe and give us a lasting hope and focus- with meaning and purpose at the highest level.
So God gives us a jewel of a passage in Philippians 4 where we are kindly reminded what our attention is to be on (context), and a little bit of how we can live it out (practice). It is well known within the anxiety treatment world that even the most effective therapies (here’s looking at you, classic CBT, which I love and specialize in) often need supports to connect to larger beliefs, values, and commitments (ACT, DBT, and MI are some of the most common modalities). If we don’t connect a person to larger motivations and goals than “I just want to feel better,” it is often near impossible for a person to grow with sustainable change for the long term because they don’t have a sufficient reason and value to keep them invested. God gives us this.
Want more? Well, there’s two tips in the next two verses, Philippians 4:8-9
“Anxious for nothing” will take a lifetime to put into practice. I’m grateful to have the opportunity.
Continued misinterpretation and repetitive experience of these symptoms worsens disorder, like in Panic Disorder, GAD, Phobias, OCD, PTSD, and more.

I think it’s very important to note that we have to be very careful with saying anxiety/fear is sin- and what we mean by this. A lot of Christians get tripped up on this, and many, ironically, become more anxious. The extent of this point would likely require an entire book, so I will not take the space here to elaborate.
Psalm 139:14; Genesis 1:26-27
Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23
Psalm 73:26; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Oh yes, there’s a whole lot more in Scripture on this topic. Let's not reduce a couple sentences into a "how-to-manual."

I have been investing in mutual funds since the last 3 years. When should one change the funds one is investing in? The performance of funds keep changing every year, should we keep reshuffling?Asked
Once the mutual fund portfolio is designed, it requires maintenance for obtaining a balance in returns or for an effort to increasing them. Well, are these the only reasons to consider required changes in a portfolio? No, there are other reasons too. Simply putting it, whether we consider stocks or bonds, they do not perform in a similar fashion over a period of time. There is always a combination of lows and highs. Hence there is always a risk associated and to mitigate the risk, mutual funds require constructive changes in their portfolio.
Now, how frequently such changes are required is the question. Changes are done when there is a significant change in return requirement, investment requirement, fund underperformance, or investment time-horizon, fund objectives or risk tolerance of an investor.
Let us consider different situations where a change is required and what impact it will have on the portfolio:
These are the major situations which ask for a requirement in changes to mutual fund portfolio. Apart from these, if investors want to consider inclusion of new funds in portfolio, then they should seek advice from fund and portfolio advisors. | <urn:uuid:0b638035-e02d-404c-bddd-de4e3924deaa> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,365 |
Previewing tonight’s Teen Wolf season 3 finale, Dylan O’Brien (Stiles) talks about how the major death in last week’s episode will affect his character.
If you haven’t watched last week’s episode (season 3, episode 23, “Insatiable”), we suggest you get right on that. There are spoilers ahead.
The death of Allison Argent stunned fans of Teen Wolf, but we’re not the only ones struggling with coming to terms with the main character’s permanent departure. “These kids have gotten almost good in these situations; they’re used to this terrifying life. But [Allison’s death] scared them. This was the first time they’ve lost one of their own,” O’Brien tells TVLine.
And while it’s true that they’ve lost friends and family members in the past — Boyd, Erica, and Victoria are just a few — this time it’s different. This time, it was someone in their inner circle, someone who had been around since the very beginning. And that’s bound to send ripples through the entire group.
Speaking of his own character, though, O’Brien says that Stiles will be taking Allison’s death roughly. “Allison’s death affects Stiles, specifically, because he can’t help but feel responsible for it.”
Allison was killed by the oni, which were being controlled by Void Stiles. Though the real Stiles had no direct part in her death, it is understandable that he feels as though he had the power to stop it. And if he couldn’t do it before, he’s certainly going to try now.
“The only way to stop the Nogitsune, as far as [Stiles] knows, is for him to die. Her death, and what it does to Stiles, is kind of the last straw. He’s now fully committed to sacrifice himself.”
The remainder of the interview on TVLine talks about Stiles’ continued interest in Lydia, but also his blossoming romance with Malia (Shelley Hennig). And speaking of Malia, it looks like she will be a season 4 regular from here on out!

The evidence is clear. Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study concludes.
The evidence is clear. Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, says a panel of researchers and not-for-profit leaders, led by UBC's Okanagan campus.
The researchers also confirmed that regular physical activity may improve the performance of daily activities for people afflicted with Alzheimer's. Their conclusions may have significant implications for the 1.1 million Canadians affected directly or indirectly by dementia.
"As there is no current cure for Alzheimer's, there is an urgent need for interventions to reduce the risk of developing it and to help manage the symptoms," says study first author Kathleen Martin Ginis, professor in UBC Okanagan's School of Health and Exercise Sciences. "After evaluating all the research available, our panel agrees that physical activity is a practical, economical and accessible intervention for both the prevention and management of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias."
Martin Ginis and her cohort reviewed data from more than 150 research articles about the impact of physical activity on people with Alzheimer's. Some of the work explored how physical activity improves the patient's quality of life and the others examined the risk of developing Alzheimer's based on the amount of activity in which an individual participated.
The panel concluded that regular physical activity improves activities of daily living and mobility in in older adults with Alzheimer's and may improve general cognition and balance. They also established that older adults not diagnosed with Alzheimer's who are physically active, were significantly less likely to develop the disease compared to people who were inactive.
"This is exciting work," says Martin Ginis. "From here we were able to prepare a consensus statement and messaging which not only has community backing, but is also evidence-based. Now we have the tool to promote the protective benefit of physical activity to older adults. I'm hopeful this will move the needle on this major health concern."
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration that results in severe cognitive impairment, compromised physical ability and loss of independence. The number of worldwide cases is expected to increase from 30.8 million in 2010 to more than 106 million in 2050.

What a month. I just got married and Im a finalist in the Tucson Weekly’s Best of Tucson for Best Tattoo Artist for the 2nd year in a row. Im blown away. Its such an honor that my friends and customers think so highly of my work. As an artist its hard to see what others see, as Im always questing for improvement. Always wanting each piece to be better than the last. Not to say that my work isnt fantastic… Its just the plight of an artist. Never settling for “ok”. Staying up at night worrying about the small details that most never see.
Its truly an honor to be recognized in my community. I learned how to tattoo here back in 2006 and 07. And to be among such amazing artists in the top 5 is mind blowing for sure.
My goal then and now has been to make great tattoos that stand the test of time! True collaborations between artist and collector.
Its my first day back at the studio since I was married on Saturday. There is this crazy haze I’m walking around in… Nothing seems to bother me.
I walked into the tattoo studio this morning to discover there had been a little flooding from our first few monsoon storms of the season ( the first of which occurred during our ceremony) and the power is out on the entire back wall of my studio.
Ill have to rearrange so I can tattoo from a different outlet if we don’t get it fixed soon…. But thats it… Thats the worst case scenario. and its not that bad.
I feel like normally I would be in a state of panic.. Not the kind of panic that creates more problems, but the kind that distracts me from getting the right things done in the right order… Im married now. Which outlet I use to make tattoos is a very small issue. My wife has entrusted her heart to me…. That.. is a very big responsibility that I will handle with the highest urgency and regard.
I’ve heard of Pregnancy brain.. You know…. where you kind of get a little spacey… My wife has even exposed me to yoga brain after I’ve taken one of her classes at Yoga Oasis…. But this. This feels different. Or maybe its the same.. Im just content with all things good and bad. There is a peace that has washed over me…
Is this Honeymoon brain? Is this ” thank god the stress of the wedding planning is over” brain? Perhaps a little of column A and little of column B? Who cares? I sure dont.
Ive got a couple weeks til the honeymoon actually takes place. Which is nice. A little more time to relive the memories of one of the best weekends of my life.
Weve been pouring over the pictures all of our guests have taken. I could look at them all day long…. My wife and I were stunning ( she was 1000% out of my league then and now). The Hotel Congress was a main character in our wedding story as well, and she looked marvelous. Not bad for being 100 years old either!
The weekend was fantastic… From our favorite people flying in to celebrate with us. To our closest friends doing everything in their power to make us feel as if we were the center of the universe( Bobby Cyndi/Erika Jenn/Oli Jay). To my wifes tear jerking vows ( she was unamimously voted the winner of the vows haha). Our first dance… Dancing with my daughter to the Toy Story Theme Song that she picked for us. And the epic after party that so many of my clients and friends attended. It was pure Magic. ( it didnt hurt that we actually got married on Walt Disney and Lillian Bounds wedding anniversary either)
I thought for a second that I might be crazy enough to want to do it all over again (which I would in a heartbeat) but I think Ill be OK with a one and done.
Weve got some great things in store for the tattoo studio. Just had to get through this wedding business and the honeymoon and then itll be back to business.
Ill wrap up with some personal insights and a list of thank yous…
I wanted to mention what I personally took away from this… This was one of the very first times that I was able to focus on myself and my family exclusively.. Im sure you understand. In everything I do, I wonder what someone thinks about me… if they approve of what Im doing or if they are judging me. I think we can all be guilty of that from time to time… In fact, we had set expectations in our minds in regards to how the night would play out… how the family would get along, what would people wear ( semi formal was the code) and so on. I worried about that stuff… I really did.
It was all for nothing… At the end of it all. It was my wife and I floating around the room smiling and happy together.. The rest of the world didnt matter. Maybe I just needed to be married to her this whole time (11 years later).
I feel more unstoppable than ever before. and if things don’t go as planned. Im still married to my best friend. There is no downside in life anymore. We have our daughter and each other.
A huge shout out to our host, the lovely and aging so gracious Hotel Congress. It is truly my honor to be a part of your history. Specifically Melissa and her team in the Copper Hall. From day one with her we knew it was going to be her that made this day and weekend what it was. I only wish I had more events to host so I could visit with her weekly… Please do yourself a favor and consider her when looking to host any event. Thanks Melissa.
And of course for capturing all of the evenings festivities, a huge thank you to Sergio our Photographer. His skill are second to none. The most common issue we ran into while talking with other couples was their photos. We took our time and made sure to find the right person… and Sergio is hands down the best decision we made. Thanks
Jocelyn, Nate and Miriam at the front desk were incredible as well. We felt right at home for our stay. As did all of our guests. Im already planning on booking my next stay.
Matt at the Cup cafe was incredibly accommodating to my everchanging reservations for my family to join me for a post wedding brunch.
Keith and Mike in the Lobby bar were equally amazing. Making sure my cup never runneth dry haha.
All in all, the Hotel Congress and all the staff made sure our weekend and wedding day was exactly what it was supposed to be. This was the epitome of hospitality. I really can’t stress this enough. Im looking forward to enjoying this Tucson gem for years and years to come!
Have you ever stayed at Hotel Congress? What did you think? share your thoughts in the comments or this post with someone thinking about hosting there!
Its been a busy summer in the studio. Im always grateful for that. Add to the mix a wedding and a honeymoon in July and well… Im sure you can appreciate the workload.
This on top of owning a tattoo studio, being a present father, and husband to be.
But tomorrow is the 4th of July. one of my favorite holidays. A day off, yes. But also a day I get to spend with my girls and my friends all at the same time.
Ill also make sure to have The Patriot basically on repeat until I take my evening slumber, my body filled with domestic beers and meats cooked to perfection over an open flame. My eyes and ears still dancing to the sparkles that represent our freedom to drink those beers and cook those meats.
But also… The freedom to be me. To own a tattoo studio in Tucson… Hell, to be able to do tattoos for a living…
To have clean hot water at a moments notice. To have macaroni and cheese from a box, or a food truck.
Theres a ton of things Im guilty of taking for granted. But on the 4th of July, they are ever present.
So many times I hear folks talk about American Freedom, but sometimes they dont understand what we are free from. What oppression really means. How in some places I wouldnt be able to write these words, click a button and share my thoughts. Whether I could start a business. Or as simple as have hot running water on demand. Or as complicated as … welll.. as complicated as having the very real conversation that perhaps not everyone in our country shares the same freedoms.
Im gonna leave this right here on the internet. Just so my piece is said. I hope all americans have a safe and happy 4th of July. Free of oppression from any outside forces. May you embrace your family and be grateful to be living in this great nation and allow others to do the exact same thing.
Im off to the grill, there are meats that need tending, 12oz beverages that need a home and some friends that need some smiles.
The first round of voting for Best of Tucson is in and Im blown away. For the second year in a row Ive been nominated for Best Tattoo Artist in Tucson. Thanks to all who nominated me! Its a huge honor to be be in the top 5… Im happy to just make good tattoos for my amazing clientele, but a little recognition aint gonna kill me haha. So again a huge thank you to all that have gotten me this far and trust me year after year to make tattoos for you.
The time is upon us. The Tucson Weekly’s Best of Tucson 2019 voting has begun. Last year I was so very fortunate to have so many wonderful people put my name and my private studio in the ring for Best Tattoo Artist as well as Best Tattoo Shop in Tucson. It was such an honor to have the trust and votes from so many. My goal has always been to make tattoos that stand the test of time, are applied with clean crisp technique, in a clean and relaxingly comfortable studio…. So, as far as that goes, Ive been a winner for along time in that competition.
But… The competitor in me always wants a little more haha. So last year was only the first year my studio was open, and I was a finalist for Best Tattoo Artist and the studio was a finalist for Best Tattoo Shop. Amazing. But I think we can do a bit better this year.
This first round is for nominations. So please take a moment to go the the link and show some love for your favorite things in Tucson.
Best tattoo artist – David Meek Best Tattoo shop – David Meek Tattoos, Best Hot Dog- You Sly Dog, Best radio or morning show hosts – Cyndi and Chris, Best Hamburger- Molecular Munchies, Best brewery-Dilinger Brewing Co Best Yoga Studio- Yoga Oasis… these are just a few of my friends that deserve some recognition and a nomination!
Thanks for taking the time to support local tucson businesses!
I was eager to receive the call from Clint about being on the podcast. I love tattoo history and where it brought us. Im sure you have noticed there is a bit of nostalgia in most every episode with an overtone of distain for the modern process of instagram and hashtags…and this episode is no different. But this time we get to delve into a tattooer that was part of the history we so revere and yet have never heard of him. He quietly slipped into history having done his duty as a tattooer. He worked for the people, he plied his trade, he fed his family and he provided shelter. Far from where we are now with hashtag millionaires and iconic tattooers known for their hairdo more than their work. I submit this chat for you to enjoy not only Clints journey and dedication to our humble beginnings but also Mikes part in it.

Love this Tat Gun by Jeremy Miller of Pigment Tattoo in Austin Texas
Jeremy Miller may be the most educated tattooer there is. For this podcast, I get to talk to Jeremy about earning his PhD and how his education background is business has affected him as a tattoo artist. We chat about the balance between making art and making money. You many know Jeremy from the first season of Ink Master, and I got the opportunity to learn about the ups and downs of reality TV, especially how it has come into play with the tattoo industry in the past decade or so. Jeremy is a straight talker, telling me all about what he thinks the failings of the tattoo world will be in the years to come, and what we as artists and shop owners can do to fight that.
Be sure to follow jeremy and his shop on social media
The Tucson Weekly best of Tucson primary voting is underway til June 17th and there is no better time to let your favorite Tucson establishment know how you feel about them.

Bell Bottoms. Led Zeppelin. Shanghai Kate peeing standing up. The 70’s were an amazing time,
especially in the tattoo world. In what may be the funniest Tattooer’s Podcast to date, I shoot the
breeze with the awesome Shanghai Kate and a special guest, Jack Rudy about tattoo trends over
the last few decades, tattoo removal, and their intricate knowledge of how skin and ink react to
each other. From the days of Ed Hardy and Sailor Jerry, to the days of the tramp stamp, and
present-day trends, Kate and Jack take me through the history of tattooing and the influential
changes that they’ve helped implement in the industry, whether it’s single needle tattoos or
sterilization processes. Kate is all spirit and science, Jack is all antics and aliens. I hope you
enjoy this month’s episode as much as I did. | <urn:uuid:2c293de3-3fd7-4e26-b345-97a39c8e2077> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 14,179 |
After spending more than Sh70 billion in this year’s General Election and repeat presidential poll, Kenyans are waking up to the price they have to pay for democracy.
And that is besides the amount used every year to finance the main political parties.
It also includes the extra money given to the spy agency National Intelligence Services (NIS), which was allocated Sh3.2 billion ahead of the repeat presidential election.
The police, through the Interior ministry, also received Sh4.6 billion, bringing to more than Sh20 billion the amount used for the repeat presidential poll.
The Sh60 billion used directly by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) means it spent Sh3,000 on each of the 19 million registered voters to exercise their democratic right.
The money is equivalent to what the Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) lent Kenya to fund construction of the Lamu-Garissa-Isiolo road or the bailout that Kenya Airways was seeking.
It is also more than half of the Sh120 billion that all 47 counties spent on salaries and allowances in the last financial year.
Initially, the government had budgeted for Sh50 billion for the August 8 elections, with Sh5.3 billion set aside for security operations and policing.
That the extra money used to finance the repeat election was a blow to the government could be deduced from President Kenyatta’s reactions on the campaign trail and after the Supreme Court ordered a fresh presidential poll.
President Kenyatta continually criticised the opposition supremo Raila Odinga and his National Super Alliance (Nasa) for quitting the race after the government had budgeted Sh12 billion for the election.
The high cost of the election is partly due to the fact that ballot papers are printed abroad and within strict deadlines.
The IEBC has always done last-minute single-sourcing of the printer, leaving little room for competitive pricing.
The tussle on who would print the ballots has always ended up in court, with the IEBC having its way.
This year, a five-judge bench of the Court of Appeal reversed a High Court decision that had terminated the contract for the printing of the presidential ballots by Dubai-based Al-Ghurair.
The High Court had held that public participation was a mandatory requirement for such a procurement.
Kenya’s election is a combination of electronic and manual systems.
The IEBC purchased some expensive technological Kenya Integrated Elections Management Systems (Kiems) kits ahead of the elections.
While some 45,000 gadgets were ordered, including the innovative MorphoTablet 2 from Safran Identity & Security, they had to be reconfigured for the repeat poll.
The tablet was used for the biometric identification and matching of voters’ particulars while the touchscreen Android device had a 4G high-speed data transfer system for results transmission.
The amount of money used for the election has become scandalous, with Mr Odinga claiming it had been inflated by the Jubilee Party.
“Experts have indicated that we only need Sh800 million to have a repeat of the exercise,” Mr Odinga claimed but Jubilee denied having a hand in the procurement.
For the repeat poll, the IEBC said the money was required to hire poll officials, procure election materials and technology as well as advertising and transport.
By then, it had already signed a Sh2.4 billion deal with Safran and Morpho to upgrade the 40,883 Kiems technology that had been used in August for transmission of results.
IEBC chief executive Ezra Chiloba, who had asked for Sh13.8 billion for the repeat poll, said Sh2.4 billion was to be spent on the 300,000 election officials. | <urn:uuid:91c80150-e487-4bf7-bba0-b7a0745bdab0> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,634 |
So, how many times do you think you’ll hear the question, “What’s New”? during the holiday party season? This year, I am looking forward to having something exciting to tell my friends.
I’ve started a business this past summer. A consulting business for non-profits to be exact called L. Bell Third Sector Analytics, LLC. After spending a career in the third sector, as an administrator and as a board member, I am ready to share . My Board Products reflect that combination of experience and creativity.
This process has been a learning experience. Starting a business is a lot different from running one. I had started nonprofits before, but they already had a funding stream. I’m now starting from scratch, trying to build a client base willing to work remotely in a traditional hand-holding business. But Linda, remember it takes baby steps. Build it and they will come. I can’t get stuck in the sludge, must stay positive and keep at it.
To date, I have incorporated, written my business plan, designed my product line, had a web site designed 3rd Sector Analytics, designed business cards, working on Mail Chimp mailings. A real marketing approach comes next.
For those of you follow my blog, you may remember that I had retired and was eager to discover what my life’s second act would reveal. My retirement was not of my own planning, so I had many issues to work through. Each day, I tried to put one foot in front of the other and move forward but there were many days just one step became a monumental task. Slowly, I healed. Writing the blog helped. Being able to express myself, be creative, realize I was not alone helped so much. Those kind words of support mean so much.
So, this Christmas season I will craft my message. It will be quick, descriptive, have a call to action, and hopefully someone will find what I am offering of benefit.
I’m ready, please ask me “What’s New?” | <urn:uuid:61185889-a79a-4837-b9eb-4f1b1b346d0d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,893 |

We have been remiss in telling you about how fun and rewarding our record release shows were. Shows. Two shows in two venues in one night. We would not recommend bands try this approach, especially while there are snowbanks everywhere.
But we did it with lots of help from our friends – and aside from logistical challenges and SO MUCH GEAR TO CARRY – once we were onstage, it felt like magic.
I have to say that my stage fright has diminished substantially since Caitlin and Mike have come into the fold. I feel supported, at ease, like there is a net beneath me always (especially during guitar solos). It's the best thing to look over during your set and see your bandmates smiling back at you, making jokes, expanding your songs with new colour and energy.
And doing little things before and after to make the whole experience better for everyone. Getting a band tab started at the bar. Working out parking spaces in advance. Just being thoughtful and upbeat, you know? Playing in indie bands is far from glamourous. You've gotta find joy in small places, small kindnesses, small victories that add up to so much.
And those three-part harmonies we've been killing? Dream come true.
Thanks to everybody who came out to both shows and filled the dance floor and expressed such enthusiasm and positivity and love. Special thanks to Mark and Scott for pitching in to work the door and the merch table respectively at the Holy Oak at the drop of a hat. Thanks to Graham for handling guest list and merch and the car and so much else.
Thanks to Bryan and Aaron and Matt and Dinah and Catriona's friend whose name I didn't catch for helping us carry gear through ice and snow. Additional thanks to Bryan for returning to the land of ice and snow to be with us at our record release shows and sign autographs and be so supportive and amazing.
Thanks massively to Catriona for letting us share this experience with her and for saying such nice words onstage about the years we all spent touring and making music together. Her new album, Bumble Bee, is soooo good and you should all buy a copy.
And thanks more than anything to Lynette, my eternal bandmate and dream-supporter and life team mate who rocks the skins so hard and isn't afraid to tell a booking agent how to do his job properly. Tough but tender. All my love is reserved for her.
The shows were two weeks ago now, so I'm also including a photo from last night. We were the musical guests on Vish Khanna's delightful Long Night talk show at Long Winter. Scott Thompson from Kids In The Hall and Hannibal was also a guest, and a total riot. And Don Pyle from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. And poet Damian Rogers. Thanks for inviting us, Vish.
We've got tons of new shows coming up, including release parties in Ottawa and Montreal over Easter. Hope to see you all out there. | <urn:uuid:3d0552a8-4f93-4203-a3cb-a1628d02d23f> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,833 |
Indiana Medical History Museum
A medical facility that has been kept frozen in time.
The Indiana Medical History Museum is in the old pathology building of the Central State Hospital for the Insane.
Part of what makes the Indiana Medical History Museum so fascinating is that this research and education facility is a time capsule from the late 19th and early 20th century. The building itself is the oldest surviving pathology facility in the nation and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Make sure to see the 1896 teaching amphitheater, where visiting medical students and doctors viewed autopsies.
Tours are guided only in the museum, but you can see the medicinal garden during the spring and summer. This is one of the most fascinating and odd museums in Midwest America and if you live in the area you should not miss an opportunity to visit.
Know Before You Go
The Indiana Medical History Museum is located in the Old Pathology Building on the grounds of the former Central State Hospital on the near westside of Indianapolis.

“Life in the SOC” is a Blog Series that shares experiences of the BlueVoyant SOC defending against the current and prevalent attacks encountered by our clients. The blogs discuss successful detection, response and mitigation actions that can improve your defensive capabilities.
For years, ransomware developers and affiliates have been telling victims they must pay the ransom, or their stolen data would be publicly released. However, this tactic existed when ransomware was mostly part of spam campaigns against a large number of disparate host systems asking for relatively small amounts of money from everyday users. The tactic did not hold the same kind of leverage it does today when large enterprise organizations are being selectively targeted and extorted for large ransom fees.
This past November was the first-time security experts observed a ransomware developer use the release of exfiltrated data as leverage for payment. Allied Universal was hit with the Maze Ransomware. The Maze group then stood up a website specifically geared towards the release of victim information, eventually releasing 700 MB of data and stolen files from the company.
As is typically the case in the dark underbelly of the cyber world, if something works, all the other threat actors start looking at adopting the tactic. The group behind the Sodinokini/REvil ransomware went so far as to make a public announcement declaring this shift in tactics. In a new post to a Russian malware and hacker forum, shared with Bleeping Computer by security researcher Damian, the public-facing representative of the REvil ransomware known as UNKN states that a new "division" has been created for large operations.
It is too soon to say whether these new tactics will push companies to treat ransomware attacks like data breaches, but as more ransomware developers publish stolen documents, we can expect lawsuits and public concern to rise. | <urn:uuid:eb3ba409-2d79-4426-b2e2-5781f360eca6> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,921 |
Health experts around the world have long been extolling the virtues of building some physical activity into our daily routines. There is strong evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of disease, helps to manage existing conditions and boosts mental well-being. People are continually being encouraged to get off their backsides and undertake some form of exercise each and every day.
Playing video games is often viewed as an activity with few health benefits, but a recent study by Betway Insider has debunked that theory. They asked 17 gamers to play seven of the most popular video games for 90 minutes at a time to determine how this compared to a workout. The experiment revealed that Fortnite helped gamers burn off a whopping 194 calories on average during a gaming session.
By contrast, you would need to do more than 350 squats to equal the amount of calories burned during 90 minutes of playing Fortnite. FIFA (189) and Call of Duty: Warzone (188) were not far behind Fortnite in terms of the calories burned by participants during the test. Call of Duty: Warzone was found to be the game that got your heart peaking the most, producing an average maximum heart rate of 119 beats per minute (BPM). Fortnite players recorded the highest overall average, with participants’ heart rates increasing to 89 BPM during a 90 minute gaming session.
Having established that playing video games can provide physical benefits, it is worth noting they also offer plenty of mental gains. Video games improve some of your cognitive abilities including visuospatial skills. This skill can help with everyday tasks such as driving. Gaming also improves problem-solving skills and logic, with one study finding that a group of professional gamers had ‘heightened connectivity between certain sub-regions in the insular cortex’.
This effectively translates to enhanced cognitive abilities, which improves the ability to plan and think strategically during everyday life. Increased hand-to-eye coordination, greater multi-tasking ability and improved social interactions are other benefits derived from gaming.
Given the evidence, gaming can undoubtedly provide several physical and mental benefits, although there is a caveat to this. As with most other activities, it is imperative to moderate your gaming sessions to ensure that tiredness does not creep in.
Sitting down and playing video games for 10-12 hours might seem like fun, but this is likely to cause more harm than good. Replacing traditional physical activity with gaming is not advised as it is perfectly feasible to incorporate each element into your daily routine.
If the prospect of doing more than 350 squats to burn a few calories sends a shiver down your spine, you can still exercise in other ways. Taking the dog for a walk, visiting the local park or a 20-minute jog around the block are amongst the ways you can be physically active.
Ultimately it is advisable to strike a balance to ensure you get the maximum benefits from the activities you undertake each day.

Definition - What does Alien Insurer mean?
Alien insurer is an insurance company that is formed and set up in one country, but sells and provides insurance to another country. The alien insurer follows the industry regulations of the country for it to sell its products there.
Insuranceopedia explains Alien Insurer
They may seem semantically alike, but the terms alien insurer and foreign insurer have different meanings in the US.
A German insurance company, formed in Germany, that sells insurance policies in any state in the US is an alien insurer. An insurance company formed in the State of Wisconsin, but is represented by an agent in the State of New York to provide insurance for a New Yorker is an alien insurer.
People buy insurance from a foreign company (or an alien insurer) because the risks that they want covered are not offered by their domestic insurers, or the insurance companies in their state. The risk might be considered unusual. Lloyd's of London, for instance, has a solid American clientele, specially among celebrities. Rock singer Bruce Springsteen has insured his vocal cords with this insurance company. | <urn:uuid:572a647b-4624-4371-a6af-2aeca585916c> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,136 |

About Chateau d’Orcher
Chateau d’Orcher is a castle in the commune of Gonfreville-l’Orcher in Normandy France. Built to protect the mouth of the River Seine, it includes an imposing square crenellated tower. In 1360 it was partly destroyed on the orders of officials from Harfleur. Rebuilt later, it was taken by the English in 1415 at the same time as Harfleur.
In 1434, the castle and its associated possessions and privileges were given to the Duke of Bedford. In 1449, the estates reverted to the Crespins and later, by legacy, went to the Brézé family in 1488 and finally to the O family in 1539.
Thomas Planterose took possession in 1735 and over the next ten years set about transforming the castle. In the 19th century, the estate became the property of the Rochechouart family, who had the castle restored.
The castle grounds are open to the public all year. The Château d’Orcher is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. | <urn:uuid:72039fd1-134a-4c5e-b42c-4068da316f60> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 958 |

Since 1977 Christo and Jeanne-Claude have been working on their largest mastaba of oil barrels, a project conceived for the city of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The couple is mostly famous for their ephemeral monuments obtained by wrapping famous natural sites, sculptures or buildings, but during the years they also conducted parallel studies for the creation of monuments entirely made of barrels. These projects usually employ hundreds or thousands of barrels piled to form walls, (like for the “Iron Curtain” which blocked the rue Visconti in Paris in 1962), or a “mastaba”, a flat topped rectangular structure with sloping sides, like in their 1968 project for the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, a structure of 1,240 oil barrels. The name and the shape of “mastaba” makes reference to ancient Egyptian tombs constructed out of mud-bricks or stone. Apparently, according to what Christo reported in an interview, “Mastaba is the old name of the mud bench found at the first urban place we know in the world—in Mesopotamia“.
The still unbuilt Abu-Dhabi Mastaba will be the world’s largest man-made sculpture, a 150 m (492-foot) tall structure made of 410,000 multi-colored barrels. Eventually, in 2012, after more than 30 years since its original conception, the artists obtained the building permissions and the site was approved. The sculpture/monument is indipendently financed by the artists as in the tradition of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s works: the couple usually produces an extensive amount of drawings in order to sell them and use the proceeds to finance the building of their works.
Easy speculations might point out the irony of the construction of a gigantic oil barrels monument in the region of Abu-Dhabi, but Christo has denied any polemical or political intent and underlined the aim for a pure aestethical pleasure of this majestic landmark which he doesn’t hesitate to compare to Bernini’s St.Peter or to the Eiffel tower. The barrels will come in ten different colors arranged to echo Islamic mosaics.
“Jeanne-Claude and I, we do these things for ourselves. If somebody likes it, it’s only a bonus. We do things we enjoy visually. But you should understand, the work is not in the results. The journey is the work—it’s incredible. These projects bring us to places that are so much richer than the art world or the art gallery or the museum. We get to work with so many different people. It’s like an adventure and it’s very exciting and it’s foolish. It’s totally irrational and useless. But Jeanne-Claude and I like to do them. Nobody asks us. We like to think them up and we like to build them” (Christo in an interview with Barbara Rose on “Interview magazine”)

Having a social life is just as important for children as it is for adults, but some children have social difficulties. While parents and educators may understand how to resolve the physical or mental difficulties that children have, they may never have heard about the ways to improve socialization. A child can have one or more issues that affect socialization, and in many cases, it takes a team of experts to identify the different problems.
One: Having an Autism Spectrum Disorder
There are many types of autism spectrum disorders, including:
• Childhood disintegrative disorder
• Pervasive development disorder
• Rett syndrome
• Asperger’s syndrome
Children with autism display poor communication, leading to isolation from their peers. In addition, children with this disorder may repeat behaviors such as clapping their hands. Early diagnosis and remediation is vital to help the children with an autism spectrum disorder learn better ways to behave and communicate in classrooms and in social situations.
Two: A Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurological condition that causes children to act impulsively or inappropriately, making it difficult to interact with classmates. The majority of children with this condition are males who are diagnosed after beginning school. These children often have emotional outbursts or uncontrollable energy along with poor listening skills. After a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is in kindergarten, they can begin behavioral therapy and are often given prescription medications. As children reach adolescence, they are encouraged to use coping skills rather than medication to control their impulsive behavior.
Three: Social Anxiety in Children
Some children have a natural tendency toward shyness and want to enjoy activities in isolation. For parents who are outgoing, the concept of shyness is difficult to understand, but it is simply one of the many personality traits that make each person unique. Forcing a shy child to become involved in activities they do not enjoy that requires socialization leads to more anxiety. Instead of taking a shy child to a place with large groups of children, arrange one-on-one play dates with a child who has a similar personality. | <urn:uuid:48dc922f-e572-418a-b0f1-2cc6934f6632> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,307 |
Lighters are becoming less common in today’s culture, which is a blessing because many people are giving up smoking. However, lighters still serve many uses when it comes to igniting fires or lighting candles.
Lighters work by using flint and steel to create a spark, which then makes the fuel source (typically naphthalene or butane) ignite, causing a small fire.
Both fuels have a different temperature range that can fluctuate depending on several factors including the oxygen levels in the air, and the amount of time that the lighter has been burning for.
So how hot is a lighter flame? In this article, we will answer this question and much more, so keep reading to find out all about lighters.
How Hot Is A Lighter Flame?
The temperate of the lighter flame will often depend on the fuel source used in the lighter. So let’s take a look at butane, naphthalene, and the more modern plasma lighters to see what the temperature differences are.
As a result of its low ignition point of around 77 degrees Fahrenheit, butane makes an ideal fuel for lighters. Because of this, butane lighters are by a significant margin the most common form of disposable lighters.
In addition to that, it is the cheapest kind of lighter that you can buy, making them very popular.
Butane lighters are very easy to light when exposed to a spark, as it very quickly catches fire. The spark can be produced by running the grinding wheel of the lighter over the flint.
When using a butane lighter, there is no need to create a “pilot light” when you wish to light the lighter.
A pilot light is used in other lighters and machinery to keep the main flame lit. In a butane lighter, you only need a single spark to light the flame and keep it lit.
When burned, butane is thought to be capable of reaching temperatures as high as 4,074 degrees Fahrenheit, according to one theory.
In actuality, the temperature at which butane burns is more likely to fall somewhere in the range of 3,500-3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because butane burns at a lower temperature than propane does.
The exact temperature will vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the local air pressure, the amount of air movement that is present (lower temperatures in lighter flames are often produced on windier days), and your position to the airflow.
Because the flame is constantly giving out some of its energy to the air around it, which is what keeps the temperature low, you can anticipate that the flame on your lighter will be a little bit colder if you are standing at the North Pole rather than at the Equator.
The other common fuel for disposable lighters is naphthalene, which has a flashpoint of 4,591 Fahrenheit and may ignite at that temperature.
Wick pocket lighters employ a wick that has been soaked in naphthalene fuel rather than the steady stream of gas that is burned by butane lighters. Butane lighters produce more smoke than wick pocket lighters
However, like with butane lighters, you can predict that the actual temperature will be quite a bit lower since the flame will be affected by the same environmental factors that butane is affected by.
When it comes to lighters, there is another option available that is more modern than butane and naphthalene, and that is the plasma lighter.
The light emanating from these lighters comes from a phenomenon referred to as a “plasma arc,” which is generated by an electric current.
Although the flame produced by this method is not quite as hot as the flame produced by a butane or naphthalene lighter, it is more than capable of lighting a cigarette, a candle, or getting some kindling started.
When used properly, a plasma lighter is capable of creating a flame that can reach temperatures of up to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are several persuasive arguments in favor of switching to a plasma lighter, which you should take into consideration if you have not already done so.
Not only does the plasma arc look rather impressive when you use the lighter (some of them even generate a “roaring sound” to make them appear even more substantial), but there is no gas contained within the lighter that has the potential to escape when it is used.
If the release valve on your butane lighter is accidentally pushed while it is in your pocket, you will leak the fuel all over yourself.
This is not only annoying but also means that you will run out of fuel much faster, which means that your lighter will no longer work. Butane lighters are notorious for having problems of this nature.
When using a plasma lighter, there is no smell since there is no vapor created. This absence of vapor also means that there is no residue left behind.
They are windproof, can be lit in any direction (even upside down), have built-in safety features that prevent them from being ignited in your pocket, and are more cost-effective than traditional lighters throughout their lifetimes.
In addition, they are better for the environment since they can be recharged rather than refilled.
If you become lost in the woods and find yourself in a situation where you have to rely on a lighter for your survival, a plasma lighter that has been fully charged is going to be your best bet.
What Can Affect The Temperature?
If you were to buy five lighters and measure the temperature of each, you would probably end up with a wide range of temperature results.
This is because all lighters can’t burn at the same temperature due to the various environmental factors that can influence the temperature.
The flame that is created by the butane type is discernibly “colder” than the flame that is produced by the naphthalene type, but also the temperature at which lighters that contain butane or naphthalene burn differs from brand to brand.
So what causes these fluctuations in temperature? Here are the four most common factors that can influence the temperature of your lighter flame:
You will probably remember being taught this during school, but oxygen is vital for the creation and burning of a flame.
The combustion process will proceed more quickly when there is a sufficient amount of oxygen present, which will result in the flames reaching higher temperatures.
When it is cool outdoors, flames burn at a temperature that is lower than normal. This is because they give out a bigger quantity of heat into their surroundings rather than staying close by to the flame itself.
This can mean two things. Firstly, the flame will go out if the air all around it is cool, which will lead to a fall in its overall temperature. If the air is cold, the flame cannot burn.
Secondly, lighting a flame in the wind is essentially impossible, so you need to position yourself away from a breeze or wind to get the lighter going in the first place.
How Long The Flame Has been Burning For
When you initially use the lighter, it won’t immediately start blazing at high temperatures as a regular flame would. The temperature of the flame will continue to increase as more time is allowed to pass.
Despite these many factors that can influence the temperature of your lighter, we can still say that the average temperature of a butane flame is 4,074 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average temperature of a naphthalene flame is 4,591 degrees Fahrenheit.
What Is The Hottest Part Of A Flame?
The section of the flame on a lighter that is colored blue is the area that is creating the greatest amount of heat.
Because blue is present at this stage of the process, it shows that this is the part where all of the combustions of the gases are taking place.
In this blue area, the gas is burning and creating essentially no waste, which is why this area is so hot.
There is a possibility that the lighter will emit a flame of a different hue depending on the circumstances in which it is being used. However, the bottom of the lighter will almost always burn with a blue hue, showing how hot this area is.
No matter what form of fire starting you are using, whether that be a lighter, wood, torch, or other materials, the blue part will always be the hottest part of the flame.
The tip of the flame on a lighter, which seems to most people to be extremely hot, is not the region of the flame that is producing the most heat despite it feeling very hot when held close to skin.
Electric Lighters – Are They Safe?
Yes, electric lighters are safe. Electric lighters are superior to traditional lighters since they are windproof and may be used in any weather conditions. Additionally, electronic lighters do not require flint or fuel, making them far safer than conventional lighters.
The standard lighter requires a flint, which produces the spark that ignites the fuel. Therefore, there is a possibility that the spark will escape and start the fire. This can’t happen with electric lighters.
The electric lighter’s heating element is powered by a rechargeable battery. Each time the lighter is triggered, the heating element will draw power from the battery to create heat.
Also, electronic lighters include a safety feature that prevents them from igniting when carried in a pocket. This is an added benefit, particularly in comparison to other lighters.
An electric lighter is an ideal alternative when seeking a safe and reliable lighter. They are affordable, windproof, economical, eco-friendly, and effective in all weather conditions.
Butane lighters are capable of producing a flame that’s 4,074 degrees Fahrenheit. Naphthalene lighters can reach temperatures of 4,591 degrees Fahrenheit. However, factors like ventilation and oxygen levels often limit this. | <urn:uuid:54c63b53-6ba8-40c0-a15f-6c9e10bdd61c> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 9,552 |
🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Criss' class at USF.
Let's consider why some objects feel colder than others. A piece of wood is a poor conductor of heat while metals are better conductors of heat. Given a piece of metal and a piece of wood at room temperature, the metal feels colder to the touch because it's conducting heat away from your hand more quickly.
The same effect is also experienced with hot objects.
Six objects are placed in a 500°F (260°C) oven and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. Each object has a mass of 1.0 kg. The specific heat and thermal conductivity of each substance are denoted by c and k.
When removing the objects from the oven, you accidentally touch each one with your hand. Rank these objects on the basis of how hot they feel.
Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

So, this past week has been so incredibly busy that I feel like I have just caught up with the rest of the world. It has been just crazy. But I thought I would share some of the new things we have been working on here at A Daisy A Day!
The earrings(above) and necklace (below) are my personal favorites -
Candace made them for me, and it will be difficult to part with them! :)
This past Sunday was the one year anniversary of Mamaw's passing, and to honor her memory as well as to honor the strength of her daughter and our mother, we placed flowers in Mom's church last Sunday. The flowers were a group effort - Me, Candace, Mom, and Mona (the owner of the Florist and our friend) all worked on it.
Not only was she the most awesome Mamaw (she didn't like the word "Grandmother"), but she is also the namesake of the business. We love daisies (the flower) because they remind us of her(Daisy was her name), and we want you to have a daisy a day because it is just cruel to keep her to ourselves. So every piece of jewelry or accessory made has a little bit of her love, grace, kindness, and beauty woven into it.
This week was also VBS for the youth and the kids. Candace and I, along with the youth girls had the privilege of being taught by Mrs. Shelly Reid. Can I tell you that Bible Study totally rocked my world? It was completely amazing - which learning more about God is something that continually astounds me but to learn under such a Godly, excited lady was such a blessing. You can go to and follow her blog by clicking on her name above. She is awesome, so go on over!
Well I hope you all have a great weekend and Fourth! Be Safe! | <urn:uuid:48ee58a0-9a51-441c-bf6c-e95fecca395b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,644 |

there seems to be unusual vitality among
them in Pennsylvania. The latest de
velopment in that department of nature,
is one William P. Snyder, who last enr
was employed by the department of
Justice to help out in the South Carolina
political trials. In April last Attoi nev
General Brewster wrote him, "dispen

employment ceased. But to live ou

adopted the plan of writing a letter.
Forthwith, therefore, on Novveiuber
21st, six mouths after he had ceased to
draw his pay as au assistant attorney of
the United States, he indited a letter of
resignation as follows :
"Sir : I hereby tender my resignation

was exactly the right age if a fool killer

A Fkveu Stkickeh Household. Mr.
D. P. McKinnon, one of Robeson county's
wealthiest men, as well as one of her
best citizens, has recently passed under
the rod of affliction, losing his wife aud
two oldest children within a short time
by typhoid fever. Mr. McKinnon's wife
died some weeks ago, and on last Mou -day
his oldest daughter, Miss Cnttie, a
charming young lady entering her 21st
year, was calied to meet her sainted
mother. The next day (Tuesday) Mr.
McKinnon's son, aged seven years, fol
lowed his sister to the grave. The two
children had been sick for a number of
weeks, nnd we understand the disease is
stilt raging in Mr. McKinnon's family.
He has several children left, all of young
and tender years. Mr. McKinnon lives
at Plain View, Robeson county, and is
well known thoughont this section of
the State. He is a brother of Bev. L.
McKJunou, late of Concord, but now of
Columbia. The story of his deep afflic
tions is enough to make the human heart
bleed in sympathy for him. Truly there
cau be but one comforter for the bereav
ed husband and father, and that is him
who chnsteueth whom he loveth. Char.
Lost Confidence. New Orleans, Nov.
24. After the grand jury was called
yesterday. District Attoruey Finuey
moved they be discharged. He said he
meant no reflection upon auy individual
member, but had heard on the streets more
about the working of the jury room than
he could learn in the court building. The
public he said had lost confidence iu the
grand jury as a body, and that he shared
that feeling. Judge Luzenburg there
fore discharged the grand jury without
delay. It is understood that the asser
tion of interested parties on the streets
that the grand jury in the Kate 'Towns
end murder trial stood divided as to the
question of murder or manslaughter, had
something to do with the action of the
officials in having them discharged.
Judge Luzenburg will select another
grand jun ,-iud the Sykes Townsend ma -der
case w id be passed upon by them.
Ancient Pottery. In the fields just
above Flemming's ford on the Catawba
river, which have been iu cultivation for
more than a hundred Years. Quantities
of broken Indian pottery may be found
at this day. From fragments which we
have seen, we would suppose that these
vessels were large, probably containing
several gallons and the outrides were
curiously marked iu various patterns and
covered with hieroglyphics. This pottery
evidently marks the spot where one of
those prehistoric "burial mouuds" was
erected by a race long forgotten, iu memo
ry ot the fallen heroes of some unrecor
ded battle. The river valleys were
always selected as the site lor the erec
tion of these rude monuments, and many
of them may still be found on the banks
of the Catawba aud the Yadlriu.

emphasizing wonderful difference be
tween the navigation of 1773 and 1883.
The decorations on laud and water were
elaborate though much bedraggled stars
and stripes predominated but the flags of
nearly all the nations of the earth were
to be seen at intervals. Places of busi
ness were closed aud the entire popula
tion of Manhattan aud Long Island gave
themselves up to the enjoyment of the
patriotic occasion. Poiuts of historic
interest were surrounded by crowds aux
ious to recall the scenes of the day when
the British withdrew from the American
shores aud iudepeudence was really made
secure. Presideut Arthur and Governor
Cleveland aud staff had their headquar
ters at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Other
dignitaries from other States were also
present. Included among these were the
governors of the original thirteen States.
The display of military was fine.

Your challenge is to connect with someone from a foreign country, preferably somebody with a very different cultural and socio-economic background from yourself.
Option 1: Find someone from a foreign country who actually helped create something that you own.
Option 2: Connect with an international student using the questions from Challenge 7. Contact your local international student office to find somebody
Option 3: Connect with anyone from a foreign country using the questions from Challenge 7.
Tips & Guidelines for Option 1
Step 1: Focus on an item that you own that has a global history. Try to calculate the “true cost” of that item by tracing its journey backwards through the commodity chain. Try to answer the following questions:
- Who sold it to you?
- How did it get to the place of sale? (distribution)
- Who assembled the item? (production)
- Where did the raw materials come from and how were they extracted? (extraction)
- What were the costs to the people and environment along this journey?
Step 2: Your ultimate goal is to actually meet someone who helped produce the item in a foreign country. This will be very difficult, but the attempt will demonstrate just how much our connections to other people in the world are hidden from us. If successful, ask them to take a picture of themselves with the item they help create. If you are successful, post the image to instagram with #anth101 #anth101challenge8 #humansofourstuff #yourgroupname Include your analysis of “the true cost” from step 1 in your post.Step 3: If you failed in Step 2, do one of the following to increase your empathy and understanding of the people who helped create the item you now own. Post a picture or video of you doing this using #anth101 #anth101challenge8 #yourgroupname
- Talk to somebody from or in a developing country. You can contact the International Student Center to find someone or work through your own personal networks to see if you can find somebody. Talk to them about the issues you have been learning about in this lesson and report what you find out.
- OR Find a large jug or bucket and fill it with 5 gallons of water. Try to carry it 1 mile, a typical daily activity for those living on less than $2/day.
- OR live for a day on $2/day without any use of electricity or running water. You may walk to the nearest location to use public water and toilet facilities and can spend up to $2 on food for the day. | <urn:uuid:a9a63fd3-4f1f-41b4-8dba-c16592d29a4c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,429 |

The Microbiome Center is a group of scientists dedicated to learning about the world of microbes. Originally founded by the University of Chicago, The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and Argonne National Laboratory the group continues to focus on it's founding ideals.
UChicago's Ecology and Evolution Professor and Co-Director of the Microbiome Center Cathy Pfister said, "We feel that our mission is to encompass microbes broadly: environmental microbes, microbes that are free-living, microbes that have symbioses with other organisms as well as humans. We all think microbes are important in any context, so let's bring together common approaches and methods to study them."
Not only does the center provide a space for important research, it also hosts several meetings each year. One of these meetings was on the UChicago Campus on Tuesday, April 16.

Repost from the New York Times
[Editorial comment by Marilyn Bardet: “How ironic! For years, Exxon promulgated lies, denying or casting doubt on any scientific research that pointed to humans’ contribution…to climate change, despite the fact that Exxon funded its own independent research on climate that confirmed the very thing the company denied! Go figure. So, Tillerson’s statements now are rather astounding— almost bespeaking a conversion or ‘mea culpa’. He’s certainly not wrong that the lies now being told by Trump and Co. thwart the existence of any semblance of democracy.” — Marilyn Bardet]
In Rebuke of Trump, Tillerson Says Lies Are a Threat to DemocracyBy Gardiner Harris, May 16, 2018
WASHINGTON — In what appeared to be a rebuke of President Trump, former Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson warned on Wednesday that American democracy is threatened by a “growing crisis in ethics and integrity.”
“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom,” he said in a commencement address at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va.
Even small falsehoods and exaggerations are problematic, Mr. Tillerson said. (Mr. Trump is prone to both.)
“When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth even on what may seem the most trivial matters, we go wobbly on America,” Mr. Tillerson said.
“If we do not as Americans confront the crisis of ethics and integrity in our society and among our leaders in both the public and private sector — and regrettably at times even the nonprofit sector — then American democracy as we know it is entering its twilight years,” Mr. Tillerson warned.
The former Eagle Scout — who often cited a commitment to respect, integrity and accountability as the guideposts of his life and leadership — has been in near-seclusion at his Texas ranch since he was fired by tweet in March, just hours after returning from a trip through Africa. He had agreed to deliver the V.M.I. commencement address before he was fired. | <urn:uuid:03c4ed6a-2e04-4db8-90b8-79cab5c110ca> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,129 |

According to Harold Acemah, a retired Ambassador and political analyst in Arua, NRM has made many empty promises that tend to be believed by people. He further says use of money and intimidation by security forces tactics that NRM used in the past election to win voters are being employed once again
Unlike the opposition candidates who are campaigning jointly, each NRM candidate is campaigning separately after a series of bickering and wrangles, some of which can be traced to the party primaries held earlier.
Kalembe who was supposed to begin her campaigns in the districts of Jinja, Mayuge, Luuka, Buyende and Kamuli made a surprise appearance at the campaign gathering organised by the NUP in Mukono. The gathering brought together candidates vying for the various political positions, among them, Rev Peter Bakaluba Mukasa, Hanifer Nabukeera, and Betty Nambooze.
Nabibuga is charged with circulating a photo of Hajji Haruna Ssemakula, the NRM candidate for the Mukono LC 5 chairperson’s seat with derogatory statements describing him as a land grabber and persecutor during Wembule operations executed by the then Colonel Elly Kayanja.
According to Kibuule, he is dedicated to serving the party and supporting the official candidates. He says the party is currently undertaking the reconciliation process and asks members to be mindful about fellows who are against such peaceful movements.
Musoke has noted that all indicators by yesterday showed that he was leading the race but has been surprised reaching at party offices where Dr Tanga Odoi instead declared his opponent Diana Hope Nyago as the winner.
Two check points have been established at the two main entries of roads coming from Mukono town and Kampala. Deployments have also been made outside and inside the main gate of the electoral commission.
Justice Batema issued the orders after ruling in favour of an application filed by Jackline Birungi Kobusingye, one of the candidates in the primaries challenging the declaration of her rival Agatha Nalubwama as the winner of the polls. Kobusingye petitioned court accusing Nalubwama and the NRM party officials of mishandling the vote tallying and general voting process.
“I am reluctant to refer this matter back to the NRM Elections Disputes Tribunal. Where the internal disputes resolution mechanism is biased and has abused its own procedure. Justice for the applicant is not guaranteed. In conclusion, this court allows the application for judicial review and grants the order quashing the decisions of NRM. NRM respondent must produce all the original DR forms and the tallying must be repeated in a transparent manner,” Batema ruled.
Owuma says that none of the petitions has been reviewed since the elections ended. Fred Watuwa the District Registrar has been involved in a misunderstanding with Moses Karangwa the district party chairperson almost putting party activities to a standstill
Ahead of the official closure of nominations on October 1, scores of aspirants for local council positions flocked the centre today, in a rush to beat the deadline. Many of them were accompanied by hundreds of supporters, crowding the nomination centre, in contravention of the COVID-19 guidelines issued by both the Electoral Commission and the Ministry of Health.
However, as voters lined up at the back of their favourite candidates, Patience Lule and Nasif Musoke, Nambooze arrived at the election venue and ordered non-party members to leave the line. The directive triggered a bitter argument between the voters and Nambooze until she accepted all people who were gathered at the station to vote.
The vetting process which started last week, on Tuesday had to close on Sunday with the declaration of winners. However, participants in the municipality have since been waiting for results until today when they were told that the process was marred by irregularities which affected the outcome.
Previously, the district was conducting nominations at the district Electoral Commission offices. However, another office has now been established at Nakifuma sub-county headquarters. The main centre is now handling candidates from Mukono South, North, Aspirants for the District leadership position, and the municipality whereas the new centre is handling candidates from Nakifuma County.
Mukono Municipality Member of Parliament Betty Nambooze offered a six roomed house at Kavule ward to serve as the party offices while Nambooze’s daughter-in-law Lydia Namayengo Njuba also established another office near the municipal taxi park. | <urn:uuid:68e33176-46ca-419d-85bd-6e47d15fc191> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,552 |
Even though this animal is scarcely the size of a mouse, it can leap up to 10 feet in a single bound! In addition to its mad hops, the nocturnal mammal has adorable, ginormous ears and a very long tail to balance them out. Jerboas eat plants, seeds, and insects and are found mostly in desert climates . . . when they are found at all. This unusual mammal was recently caught on camera for what scientists believe is the very first time in China's Gobi Desert. Not only are they super speedy, they typically burrow underground to rest during the day, and are members of the IUCN Red List of threatened species – all likely reasons why it's so special to finally catch a glimpse of these tiny creatures.

Bayern Munich head coach Hansi Flick has all-but confirmed that Thiago Alcantara is a Liverpool player.
The 29-year old is reportedly en route to Merseyside, after the clubs agreed an initial fee of £20million (€21.88m).
Thiago's mooted move to the Premier League champions has been the most drawn-out saga of the transfer window, with rumours circulating long before his man-of-the-match performance in the Champions League final.
In late July, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said talks between the Spanish international and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic had broken down.
Rummenigge told Sky Sports Germany, "Thiago informed Hasan that he would like to do something new again, and so it is.
"You will have to accept that. We have a contract that is still valid for one year and if it should be clear with any club and that club should pay a transfer fee of a certain size."
At the time, it was believed Bayern were seeking somewhere in the region of €35million for Thiago. The initial €21.88million could rise to that €35million figure based on add-ons.
Speaking ahead of Bayern's season-opening Bundesliga game with Schalke, Hansi Flick said, "Thiago is an exceptional player who spent seven hugely successful years here.
“He's a wonderful person and an outstanding professional. It was very emotional today when he said goodbye to us all. My coaching team and I enjoyed working with him.
"I can only congratulate Liverpool as they got a great player and especially a great person."
Bayern are likely to use a chunk of those funds on Ajax's American full-back Sergino Denst.
Sky Germany claim a five-year deal has already been agreed, and that Bayern chiefs travelled to Amsterdam on Tuesday to get the deal over the line.
The 19-year old had also attracted the interest of Barcelona, whose head coach Ronald Koeman tried to get Denst to declare for the Netherlands while he was in charge. | <urn:uuid:488731ee-4031-45e7-b6eb-d5b4bbf72420> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,905 |

In a Q&A session with Electrek, Dahn revealed that he had actually “[written] down the goal of doubling the lifetime of the cells used in the Tesla products at the same upper cutoff voltage”.
“We exceeded that in round one”, he noted, adding that that “was the goal of the project and it has already been exceeded.”
Considering that Dahn’s partnership with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) only began in June last year, and that his team just started to ‘go into the company’s products’ in February of this year, achieving what they did is quite an impressive feat.
Apparently, they were able to devise a method that tests battery longevity by identifying which chemical changes that happen during charging and discharging cause battery cells to degrade over time. Through this, they were able to single out an aluminum coating that barely showed any sign of degradation at all.
The focus of their research was on the Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) battery cells used by Tesla for its Powerwall and Powerpack products, and the Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (NCA) battery cells used for its electric vehicles.
They’re quick to clarify that they aren’t claiming they perfectly understand the chemistry behind the degradation. The main thing is, the machines they developed allowed them to test new chemistries faster and with higher accuracy. This, in turn, enabled them to make significant discoveries about the longevity of the cells.
To be more specific, their new methods of testing led them to the discovery that among all the materials included, a specific kind of aluminum coating outperformed everything else. The tests showed that under numerous cycles at moderate temperature, the aluminum-coated cells hardly showed any degradation. And under difficult conditions, the cells showed very little degradation.
Dahn believes that due to the toughness of the aluminum coating, it is likely that the batteries could last 20 years. And even though the impact of these discoveries remains confidential for now, it isn’t difficult to speculate that with such kind of expected longevity incorporated into its batteries, Tesla products will become more appealing to customers. And that includes their energy products as well as their electric vehicles, of course. This won’t just mean bigger revenue for Tesla. With more customers going green, it will be a big win for the environment too.
Dahn and his team will continue to do further research. With their track record so far, that’s more than enough time to perfect their battery technology and push Tesla’s name and its stock to higher highs. | <urn:uuid:0e9764e5-d487-4f40-99be-2ff423b1be5c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,584 |

You might have surely come across this perfect meme, which perfectly describes why you need alcohol to enjoy.
“I hate when people say you don’t need alcohol to have fun, you don’t need running shoes to run, but it helps”
So why not add that bit of a booze to your event and make it fun!
No great story started with a salad!
Yes, we have no great memoirs that quoted “let’s have fun over a plate of salad”. You have a wonderfully organized event and sure enough people are loving it. But, a little fun does no harm, right? Create that perfect atmosphere for guests in the event and have a specialised bar for them to chill out.
Why not make it more fun and let them spread words about your party?
Promote your business
Business is all about attracting the audience. You might have seen those luring sales in the shopping malls, those free coupons you get on your every purchase and the one-on-one drinks in the bars. What is all this about? Well, it’s just a way to promote your business.
And one clever trick you can use to promote your event is to make it more happening. Have a bar and the perfect bartender to keep your guests occupied.
Make it a show
It’s your show and you are running it. Create a special corner for that fascinating bar in the event. Get a special menu with all sorts of drinks, cocktails, mocktails and so much more. And getting a bartender is a must for this show. You might have seen crazy videos of bartenders showing off their unimaginable skills. Let it happen at your event this time.
With every great fun comes great responsibility
Not everything is all sweet an cute until you have a drunk guest. Chances are the they may all together ruin your dream event. You, being the host, need to save your show.
- Be ready with a remedy
If you witness the situation getting out of hand, be ready to dive in. Already have pre-prepared drinks or remedies that may prevent them from puking at your place.
- Keep an eye
You may keep a bouncer at your party. Yes, not to throw the guests out, but to keep an eye on the drunkards. If you think the situation may further go wrong, do not hesitate from intimating the guests to not drink anymore.
- Serve limited alcohol
You may limit the time of the alcohol being served or limit the alcohol itself. Keep a tab on the number of drinks allowed per person and serve accordingly.
- Serve food as well
Just don’t depend on a bar and a bartender to make your event more lively. Surprise your guests with food and enjoy non-alcoholic drinks too. It will give them time to stay away from alcohol. | <urn:uuid:e6ccf7e6-83a9-431f-983e-7e2d2545ab1a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,555 |

Journal Entry 09.13.2015 – Out in Nature
Went for a hike today, my first actual “hike” of this year. I know it’s a little late in the season, but that’s how the year has gone what with my trip, health issues and the HOT summer weather stretching into four months straight. And it was a good place to be to allow the intense New Moon, solar eclipse energies move through the ‘ole body.
A friend and I visited a nearby lake, which is at about 5,000 feet elevation, in the Blue Mountains, Umatilla National Forest. The campground had few people and the blue waters of the lake were gleaming serenely in the late summer sunshine. There is a level path completely around the lake… yes, rather tame compared to some hikes I’ve taken, but plenty for today. It was a lovely hike and good company kind of day. Here’s snapshots:
Jubilee is a man-made lake and has a small earthen dam on the NW corner. When we pulled up and parked in the large lot, a big tanker truck drove down the boat ramp to fill up. The fire crews are still fighting the nearby Grizzly Ridge Complex Fire, which has devoured over 74,000 acres of wilderness, National Forest lands, BLM and private lands. The fire was subdued a little by last weekend’s short rain, but it will take several days of good steady rain, and better yet, the autumn’s snow to soak the fuels enough to dampen down the fire for the year.
So, we were given a view of watching the pump truck load up its capacious tank with water and then trundle off up the gravel road towards Timothy Springs and beyond where brushing work is being done to keep the fire within the wilderness (Wenaha-Tucannon) boundaries and to protect various structures that might be in the path of the various tongues of the fire.
I showed my friend the basic outlines of where the fire has gone, using a forest map spread out on the picnic table. I know the area pretty well even though I’ve lived here a relatively short time.
Great day, with some good exercise, lots of green trees, blue skies and waters. | <urn:uuid:96379623-beb0-46c2-b5a0-27a791a1525e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,014 |

Summer is here (regardless of what the Starks say). And even though we’re still trying to sell the whole Bangalore-has-better-weather-than-your-city spiel to the rest of the country, we the truth. It’s flipping hot!
And since everyone’s focus is on hydrating and feeling refreshed and all such nice sounding things, we thought we’d help digging into the history of the fruits in beer. Because what can be more refreshing than fruit and beer combined, right?
It goes waaaay back.
There is anthropological evidence that fruits in beer go right back to around the time beer itself originated.
(Also, there is evidence that using the word anthropological makes everything 100 times more boring instantly, so we promise that’s the first and last time that word will be used.)
The usage goes back to the 10th Millennium B.C., where chemical tests have found beer with grapes and whole bunch of other fruit.
It goes back to the 10th Millennium B.C.
It probably wasn’t as popular then as it is now, though.
Fruits were perishables. And so is beer, if you think about it, when compared to wine. Also, wine could be made and stored with a single harvest.
But beer needed to be brewed a bunch of times in a year, and fruits might or might have not been available all those times. A lot of it also depended on which part of the world you were in.
…depended on which part of the world you were in.
Everything from dates to raspberries.
Depending on where you were, the fruits you chose to add always gave a refreshingly unique taste to the brew. And they also kind of gave an idea of where you were from, a boozy-fruity GPS of sorts.
In the Middle East, dates were added to the brew (because, of course they were!), while berry-rich areas had everything from elderberries to raspberries added.
(Elderberries sounds like something you’d add to beer in the Lord of the Rings.)
Location also played (and continues to play) a huge part in the flavour of the fruit, and ultimately, the flavour of the beer,
If you’re slightly familiar with how wines work, everything from the soil to the temperature the grapes are grown in make a difference to the final flavour. The same goes for fruit added into different beers.
In the Middle East, dates were added to the brew
Freezing works well too.
Which is why fresh produce from farmers’ markets are your best bet. But don’t write off frozen fruit, pureé and syrups just yet.
Most frozen fruits are frozen right where they are harvested from, so a lot of the flavour is retained. Also, freezing aids the brewing process—it lowers the microbial load as well as causes the rupturing of the cell walls, which helps the juices flow freely into the beer.
Brewers sometimes use winemakers concentrates as well, which aren’t only of grape. These are useful because they don’t have fruit skins that can sometimes block a fermenter and also lead to collection of bacteria.
…freezing fruits aids the brewing process
It isn’t easy.
When fruits are used, especially whole fruits, a lot of care goes into the process. Something as simple as the size of the fruit chunks require attention, so that they don’t end up blocking the fermenter.
This can cause the fermenter to choke and explode, which is not just a lot of time wasted in cleaning a major mess, but can also be kind pretty dangerous. (A beer bath isn’t as fun as it sounds when you’re not expecting it. Otherwise, it’s great.)
This can cause the fermenter to choke and explode
Back to the future.
Fruits are used widely and generously in beers across the world today, with some kinds being extremely sought after. Ahem.
And if you thought this little history lesson was some not-so-subtle attempt on our part to announce that the Aam Aadmi Ale was back—you’d be absolutely right.
The beloved Mango based beer, one of our many fruit based beers, will be back on tap to rescue you from the sweltering summer next week. So sit tight.

An August 2008 NewsBusters post by Warner Todd Huston endorses Kid Rock's statement that entertainers "should keep their mouth shut on politics," calling it "quite an intelligent point of view. ... these Hollyweird types should avoid talking about things they obviously have no idea about." Huston went on to sneer:
Naturally, these "beautiful people" spend their days being fawned over and they must grow to imagine that they are the height of human achievement, believing that they can do no wrong and that their every pronouncement should be looked upon as words from Mount Olympus.
Of course, the boys at NewsBusters don't believe all celebrites should be forbidden from speaking out on politics -- only the liberals. If you're a conservative celebrity, opine away.
We've already noted that, a month ago, NewsBusters gave space to Pat Boone to misleadingly quote President Obama out of context. And a Sept. 29 post by Brent Baker highlights singer Andy Williams' attack on Obama, highlighting how he 'flipp[ed] Rush Limbaugh's hope that Obama 'fails'"by claiming that Obama "wants the country to fail." Baker added: "Let's hope interviewers prompt him to elaborate on his evaluation of Obama."
A Sept. 30 NewsBusters post by Noel Sheppard carries the headline "Why We Shouldn't Listen to Overpaid Celebrities About Healthcare." But Sheppard and the rest of his NewsBusters buddies most assuredly want you to listen to overpaid celebrities bash Obama.
UPDATE: An Oct. 1 post by Rusty Weiss continues the hypocrisy, bashing Roger Ebert for writing a column critical of the Republican "lunatic fringe," dismissing it as "a scathing critique which detests the overt melodrama, the wretched dialogue, and the lack of a plot line" and claiming that it "proved that he is very skilled at one thing and one thing only - movie reviews." | <urn:uuid:31b61824-6b20-40ca-85b5-1a203b3f24dd> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,831 |

Murad Agha's Mosque is one of the most splendid pieces of Islamic architecture in Libya. It was built by Murad Agha, an Othmani Basha commander of the military campaign sent by Sultan Sulaiman in 1510, in response to the people of Tripoli's appeal against Spanish invaders. The Mosque stands on a raised platform in the middle of Tajoura, a suburb of Tripoli. The building includes a house prayer, which centers a large courtyard and a separate minaret. The current minaret is relatively modern, the original one collapsed in an earthquake in 1901. the minaret is square shaped as in Moroccan style. It was derived from the one built in Alqayrawan's Mosque. The prayer house is 33.00x38.50 m; which makes it form a rectangle shape. Creative architecture have made the outside walls thick from beneath and gradually decrease as they extend up high to create a spectacular corn vision. Carved wooden doors and arches, marble columns that hold up a splendid ceiling are all highly cherished by the visitors and art lovers. Murad Basha settled in Tajoura in preparation to free Tripoli from its occupiers. The huge mass of the building besides its schematics from the inside show that the building was first designed and constructed to be a military fort. Unlike other mosques, the wall that the people face while praying which points to Kiblah (direction of Mecca) is smaller than the other walls. The rooms that were distributed throughout the Kiblah wall are thought to be places for soldiers to rest or storage rooms for army supplies. Wall to wall flyovers locate the marble columns. The wooden doors above that open out at all directions meant to be lookouts for security guards. The well inside the prayer house is also unfamiliar to mosques architecture, historians indicate that the well was a main source of drinking water for soldiers residing the fort. These kind of buildings were positioned throughout the coastline in North Africa at that time to resist the Norman sea raids. When the war ended, the fortress was converted in to a mosque in 1552. After four decades, the Mosque still stands as a symbol of resistance. In 2011, at the same place in a different era, people marched from the Mosque in a rally, triggering the revolution in Tripoli and the entire west region, which led to the dismantling of the dictatorship military rule. | <urn:uuid:acb702b1-5b24-4dc4-8404-a0aa5ec019d5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,347 |

A dating expert has revealed her top tips for women who want to bag themselves a wealthy other half – if that kind of thing floats your boat. Lady Lara Asprey, 32, from Chelsea in London, set up her website The Sloane Arranger as a way of helping “Sloaney sorts” we’re talking male millionaires and celebs in their quest for love. Now, the professional matchmaker who starred on ITV’s This Morning earlier this week, has revealed her top 10 tips for finding ‘the one’.
Speaking to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on This Morning, Asprey explained how it can be “harder” for women looking for love because there are usually more men than women on dating sites, which makes it more competitive. After building up a little black book of single and pretty rich people in and around London, Asprey launched her own dating site and has since matched several high profile clients including Prince Charles’ polo-playing pal, a Shakespearian actor and several celebrities from the acting world.
After her debut on TV, the dating expert has revealed her top ten tips for women hoping to bag themselves an eligible boyfriend. But take it with a pinch of salt, if you want to find true love you should probably just be yourself. Lady Asprey says: “Here in Britain we love to laugh, and are known across the globe for our humour and wit.

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ala. -- A mother who is holding out hope that her son is alive after disappearing during a dog-fighting raid is holding out hope that her
son is alive and she could be heard Tuesday calling out her son's name as searchers combed a pasture and woods, the TimesDaily newspaper reports.
The search for 30-year-old Justin Fuqua of Leighton, Ala., began Saturday night after he and other men ran from a raid on a dog fight. Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said members of Fuqua's family came to deputies after he did not return home.
Since Saturday night, hundreds of volunteers have searched the area along Big Nance Creek that runs under Buck Bridge in the Cal Bottom community near Town Creek, according to a TimesDaily report.
Although it was reported Tuesday morning that a cattle farmer on Lawrence 268 saw someone who could have been Fuqua stagger out of a wooded area and walk across a pasture before disappearing into another wooded area behind the house, no sign of Fuqua was found. | <urn:uuid:8cbd6925-3d3e-4480-8491-4ce0a867c456> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,010 |
(Reuters) – Bangladesh executed Islamist opposition leader Abdul Quader Mollah on Thursday for war crimes he committed in 1971, in a move likely to spark more violent protests less than a month before elections are due to be held.
Mollah was hanged at Dhaka Central Jail after a dramatic week. He won a reprieve on Tuesday hours before he was to be sent to the gallows.
After two days of legal argument, the Supreme Court rejected his application for a review of the death penalty.
Hundreds of people in the center of the capital Dhaka cheered and punched the air in celebration, underlining how Mollah’s case has divided opinion in the impoverished South Asian nation of 160 million.
“Justice has been served, though we had to wait for 42 years,” said university student Afzal Hossain.
At least five people were killed earlier on Thursday in clashes between opposition activists angered by the decision to execute Mollah and police near the port city of Chittagong. Police fired tear gas and vehicles were torched.
Mollah was assistant secretary general of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, which is barred from contesting elections but plays a key role in the opposition movement led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
He was the first person to be hanged for war crimes in Bangladesh, having been convicted by the country’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) set up in 2010 to investigate atrocities perpetrated during the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.
Four other Islamist leaders are on death row for their part in the conflict, in which three million people died and at least 200,000 women were raped.
Critics of the tribunal say it has been used as a political tool by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is locked in a long and poisonous feud with BNP leader Begum Khaleda Zia, as a way of weakening the opposition as January 5 elections approach.
Jamaat’s acting leader Moqbul Ahmed said in a statement on the party’s website that people would revenge Mollah’s “killing” by deepening the role of Islam in Bangladesh. He called for a general strike on Sunday.
MANY BANGLADESHIS SUPPORT EXECUTION
Many Bangladeshis support the ICT, believing that those convicted of war crimes should be punished, underlining how events of 42 years ago still resonate in a society uncertain over what role Islam should play.
Human rights groups have accused the ICT of denying Mollah a fair trial and the right to appeal.
“The execution of … Mollah should never have happened,” said Abbas Faiz, Amnesty International’s Bangladesh researcher. “The country is on a razor’s edge… with pre-election tensions running high and almost non-stop street protests.”
Mollah’s case has deepened the rift between Hasina and Khaleda, whose enmity has overshadowed Bangladesh politics for more than 20 years.
Khaleda is demanding that Hasina step down and make way for a caretaker government before the vote, as has happened during previous elections in Bangladesh, but Hasina has so far refused.
Khaleda’s BNP has staged a series of blockades that are crippling the Bangladesh economy, which relies heavily on a $22 billion garment industry supplying some of the biggest retailers in the West and employing four million people, mostly women.
Moving garments by truck from Dhaka to Chittagong has become increasingly dangerous and expensive, and exports have slumped by as much as 40 percent for some companies.
Western brands had already begun to review their operations in Bangladesh after a building housing factories collapsed in April, killing more than 1,130 people.
Nearly 200 people have died in various protests this year, involving political activists, blockades and garment workers angry over low pay and poor conditions. | <urn:uuid:9a047ab5-6c60-442f-87c2-ca429ca139e8> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,715 |

The electro-pop bop that is EXO‘s “Power” is not only one of the most beloved tracks on EXO’s The War: The Power of Music album, but it’s also a song that can energize, give strength, and bring positivity to anyone who listens to it. Recently, students at Donga-Ah Institute of Media and Arts (DIMA) decided to use all those positive qualities to bring a little bit of hope and strength during this time of isolation.
With people all over the world experiencing lockdowns and social distancing measures due to the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic, students at DIMA shared their powerful message through a recently released video.
We want to share this with isolated students like us. We would also like to share this song for medical staff and volunteers that we’re so grateful for. Let’s get through this together! Power!
During quarantine, 50 students studying music at the university gathered together online to sing, play their instruments, and spread strength through their performance.
To fit the current situation a little better, the students added in some new lyrics…
While adding in some of their own personal messages of strength and power in the video!
Their soothing performance has definitely given many people strength as fans sent their thanks to the students for sharing their powerful message!

The Fourth Amendment prohibits the police from conducting “unreasonable searches and seizures.” Law enforcement cannot search your property without first getting a search warrant from a judge.
However, there are several exceptions to the search warrant requirement. One of them applies to minors in school. Simply put, police and school authorities often do not need a warrant to search your child’s locker, backpack, purse or other private property on school grounds.
Supreme Court: schools have greater power to conduct warrantless searches
A landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision from 1985, New Jersey v. T.L.O., lays out the limitations on students’ Constitutional rights. The Court found that, in a school setting, a search conducted by a school official, such as the principal, is “reasonable” when that official has a reasonable suspicion that the search will uncover evidence of a crime — as long as the official is not acting on a police request or order. This is a lower standard than the “probable cause” standard that law enforcement must adhere to in most situations. Thus, juveniles in school have less of a right to privacy, which the Court justified as necessary for school administrators’ task to “maintain order in the schools.”
For a “reasonable” warrantless search to overcome the Fourth Amendment right to privacy, it must meet two requirements:
- The search must have been “justified at its inception.”
- The search must have been “reasonably related in scope to the circumstances which justified the interference in the first place.”
In addition, lower courts across the country have ruled several times that police officers can participate in warrantless searches of a student’s property as long as the officer is working at the direction of school leadership, not the other way around. Courts tend to view this arrangement as prudent, especially when the student is suspected of possessing a weapon.

Temporary Visitor Restrictions
Due to coronavirus cases in surrounding communities, Marshfield Clinic Health System locations are implementing temporary visitor restrictions.
Marshfield Clinic Bloomer Clinic offers family medicine services. The Center also offers patients X-Ray, and lab services.
The Bloomer Center is located conveniently just off Highway 53, at 1711 York Street.
Located in northern Chippewa County, Bloomer offers residents the best of all worlds: access to some of the best lakes and streams in northwest Wisconsin.
This community has a dynamic business climate with several major employers. Bloomer also offers unmatched recreational opportunities for residents, and tourists. The nationally recognized Bloomer Jump Rope Contest is held every year in February. The event draws thousands of participants. Hiking, boating, and fishing opportunities abound during the summer months, and ice fishing and snowmobiling are among Bloomer's winter attractions.
Bloomer's population is 3,347.

Music drowns out the sounds of tournament coverage from a flat-screen TV inside the trailer parked beside the Inn at Harbour Town.
Caddies stretch out in the tan, leather booths after finishing their morning round at the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing. One munches a sandwich while perched atop a stool. Scrambled eggs sizzle nearby in the small kitchen.
Life as a caddy on the PGA Tour offers few comforts. But one bit of solace they can count on is Dale McElyea's cooking.
"The players have their clubhouse to rest and decompress after a long day on the course," said McElyea, who spent 20 years as a caddy. "And the caddies have theirs. This is their clubhouse. It's way more than a place to eat."
It's a sanctuary from the course to privately gripe about their bosses, swap stories and playfully rib other players and caddies.
"You hang out after the round and catch up with other caddies -- see how your buddies are doing -- and swap stories," said Nick Hughey, who caddies for Scott Brown. "It's great food and good company."
Every week, McElyea, president of the Professional Tour Caddies, and cooks Kendall Purdy and Maggie Moody serve nearly a thousand meals for caddies and players from their full-service diner on wheels. Fare includes bacon and eggs, french toast and pancakes, tuna melts, and cheeseburgers.
The PGA Tour pays their salaries, insurance and fuel. Caddies are charged a modest fee to cover food costs.
The cooking trio usually works from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
"It's a lot of work," McElyea said. "By Tuesday, we probably served 400 meals and will go through about 100 dozen eggs and $6,000 in food. But (the caddies) love it."
And so do some of the players.
"We serve 20 to 25 players a day," McElyea said. "Players like Chad Campbell and Bo Van Pelt, they eat in here every day because nobody bothers them and they can get what they want, as opposed to a buffet-thing in the clubhouse."
Cake is served on birthdays.
"It's like a traveling family," Purdy said. "That's what we try to do -- make it as close to home as they can get. It's their home away from home." | <urn:uuid:b01fc1eb-f664-4b0d-b7d1-926081dbfef4> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,098 |
Despite the type of mouse you use, I am almost sure you feel that there are some features missing in its integration with the operating system. Of course that some of those features might actually be found with specific kinds or brands of mice, but sometimes those peripherals might be quite expensive.
Developed by Antibody Software, this application fixes something that should be natural and provided by default with Windows operating systems: the ability to scroll inside inactive windows through an external mouse in Windows.
In the default Windows systems, you can only scroll in a window if that window is selected or, in other words, if it is active. With WizMouse, you can also scroll windows in the background without the need to click on them: just hover the cursor on them and scroll. So, basically, there is no need to click a window to scroll on it, you just have to have the cursor on top of that window.
The latest version, 220.127.116.11, brought two important new features: the possibility to (automatically) run the program in an Administrator level, using Task Scheduler, which allows for WizMouse to scroll windows with that level of security, and the possibility to use “Reverse Mouse Scrolling”, similar to OS X “Natural Scrolling”.
We all love the wonders of a nice touchpad, with all the features provided by that small and sensitive piece of “hardware”. However, many times they also bring a few nightmares to their users, specially while typing. Everyone must have experienced the frustration of writing a huge email and, without wanting to, slightly touched the touchpad, clinking the ‘Send’ button and, thus, sending an incomplete text to the recipient.
With Touchpad Blocker, a smalll app developed by KARPOLAN, this problem finally comes to an end: it blocks mouse movements while you are typing. It seems simple (and it is, really), but it makes a huge impact in the touchpad usage. It has some useful options, allowing for the user to set a delay for the blocking and setting a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the program and even the touchpad itself, if the touchpad is manufactured by Synaptics.
Even though these apps are quite small and simple in design, they are really quite handy and useful. They both work in the background, so the only thing you will see relating to them is the tray icon, from which you can enable or disable them as well.
They also provide the option to be booted along with Windows startup but, even though I recommend this for WizMouse, I do not recommend it for Thouchpad Blocker, if you often use an “external” mouse with your laptop. Why? Because, due to its action, it may mess with simple commands like Ctrl + C and, whenever you use an “external” mouse, you surely disable your touchpad anyway, so there is no need for it to be enabled at all times.

Almost every person on this planet has a New Year’s resolution at the beginning of every year. And while most lose their motivation to achieve the resolution just the very next month, we entrepreneurs have a knack for fulfilling them and taking our goals to the next level. For many of us, however, this year’s resolution may be very similar to last year’s: trying out various e-commerce marketing techniques to get the desired outcome, when users float around the website and bounce back without making any purchases.
Instead of blaming your e-commerce marketing tactics, why not shift your focus towards your website’s design? Is it really meeting the users’ experience standards? The answer must be NO!
E-commerce business stability is more dependent on its customers. If they fail to entertain their customers with their UX design and marketing tactics then there is no chance for them to survive. In my opinion:
“Customers are the investors of your business. If you provide them value, they will nurture your business through their investment.”
Entrepreneurs, nowadays, focus more on their marketing rather than other aspects. Design area is mostly ignored or only considered to make your website look creative. It should, however, be done by taking usability principles and user experience into consideration. Because UX is important. Let me share some shocking stats before moving on to our main topic:
As Armando Roggio stated in his article on Practical E-commerce, around 80% of businesses are failing. There are multiple factors involved in the failure of their E-Commerce business, but the lack of user-friendly web design has always been topping the charts.
According to a study, E-Commerce sites had a 45% task failure rate due to the poor user site design and bad user interface. And according to web design research by GoodFirms, slow loading pages are one of the top three reasons why visitors leave a site.
15 UX Commandments that you should be adopting
1. CTA placement and design
No one can deny the importance of call-to-action buttons–whether, it’s an e-commerce website or a static one.
You need to be careful while choosing the color, directional cues, and style of your call-to-action button. It should catch the users’ attention at first sight. More importantly, research has proved that people, naturally prefer reading or viewing anything presented on the left side as compared to the right side.
Macy’s is doing a great job in this regard, have a look at their call-to-action placement.
2. Clear navigation structure
We know that navigations are usually developed to make it easier for users to find the exact pages, they are looking for. Normally, an e-commerce website contains hundreds and thousands of pages so it’s important to navigate them to a visible spot. Furthermore, page sorting and categorization process should be smartly done.
3. Search efficiency
No business can fulfill the requirements of each and every customer with a single page. Every single customer is looking for a diversified range of products, for which, an efficient search feature will make user experience swifter. It allows the customers to reach their desired product pages within no time and without having to go through several unimportant elements.
Make sure that your search feature is performing well in this regard; a single bug can directly bounce your users back. Gourmet Gift Baskets has a great search feature; it serves their users by displaying the prices, matching the keyword within the search suggestion box.
4. Clutter free category pages
Once you succeed in driving the user to your targeted category page, your website UX can play a game-changing role. If it is compelling enough, it can convert a user into a potential customer. Category pages should be decently designed, and major focus should be on the products instead of various deals and sale offers.
Sophie and Trey has an amazing UX when it comes to the category page design. They didn’t focus on any other elements of the design except for their products.
5. Delicious content
In the E-Commerce industry, most of the businesses don’t believe in the power of content. You might be wondering what content has to do with UX element? Content has a major contribution in making any UX design, a success. Content should be engaging and allow users to test your product. Also, the font size should be clear and visible to the audience. Now, content can be anything, it can be the product descriptions, sales and deals banner or website content. It’s a sure thing that content can draw an immense influence among your targeted audience.
Below are some forms of visual commerce content and tips through which you can improvise upon your UX design elements:
The content of the banners is crucially important in user experience design. For such content, the rule of scarcity and urgency will apply. Words that enforce users to avail a certain deal or discount should be used.
Descriptions should be written in a manner that they speak to the customers. Clear and authentic descriptions which highlight the prominent features of your product can create a lasting impact for the customers.
Though it’s difficult to incorporate content on any retail store website but to some extent, we need it for search engine optimization. Detailed and long paragraphs should be avoided as they increase the scroll on both desktop and mobile.
6. Advanced Filtration
Not every online retail store has this feature on their website but advanced filtration should be implemented by everyone. It helps users to directly jump to the product range, they are in search of. Advanced filtration can be anything like price range, style, color, etc. ASOS is offering their customers with completely advanced filters in order to get the most relevant results.
7. Registration page
There is no hard and fast rule for designing a registration page, but there is one minor (can be major, though) thing that should be considered, i.e. “GIVE THEM A REASON,” why they should register to your online store? Tobi is offering 50% off on the first sale and that being displayed on their registration box is doing a great job in grasping their users’ attention. Additionally, make your registration form simple instead of putting a huge list of text fields.
8. Product photos
A ‘yay or nay’ factor, at this stage, either you will get a goal completion or a bounce back from your customers. When we check-in to any physical store for shopping, we examine the quality before purchasing. Virtual stores display quality via product photography. Here, I don’t need to give examples of any stores as most of them are doing a great job.
9. Responsive factor
Responsive design is a lifesaving factor for any business, especially for e-stores. Don’t believe my words? Here are some eye-opening statistics:
Indochino has a great mobile experience design. All the navigation menus, main banners, and crucial parts are in the first scroll of mobile.
10. Include trust factor
Dealing with the customers virtually has never been an easy task. Building your trust among them is one of the various challenges of ecommerce and requires months or even years of hard work. But no one can wait this long–all of us have a certain set of targets that we want to achieve. Some trust building elements are listed below:
– Usage of secure payment icons like PayPal, VeriSign, Visa, etc.
– Cash back guarantee option
– Buying advice and return policy
– Customer testimonials
– Display brands you are dealing in.
– Toll-free number and live chat (including mobile live chat) options
– Places you have been featured
– Social engagement on the website
11. Clear payment options
How does it feel when you are almost done with the checkout process and you find out your desired payment option is not available. Most shoppers tend to complain about this very issue. Payment options should be clearly displayed on the website in order to save your customer’s time.
12. Relevant products
Buying habits never cease to exist, they run in the blood of every shopaholic person. It’s human nature that when we purchase or are planning to buy something, we definitely check the relevant products in order to make an informed decision through comparisons between prices and quality.
Such elements also assist us when a product is out of stock, we can display relevant products in order to persuade them to purchase something quite similar or even better from what they needed. Check out the Rose Wholesale website as a reference.
13. Give a social touch
A brand needs to be socially involved with the users in order to show certain activity around their brand. Your website design should contain an area where you focus on your active or upcoming social campaigns. Also, place any social widget either it’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to indicate that your brand is socially active.
14. Creative 404 pages
Broken links are a common problem in any e-commerce websites. Controlling them or redirecting them is not a stress-free job. Hence, it is preferable that a website should have its own unique and creatively designed 404 page that allows users to review other products as well. Under Armour has a splendid 404-page design that stops a huge proportion of users from bouncing back from its website.
15. Blog design
Proper blog design and optimization can be a major selling point of your website. You can display your products/categories in the sidebar of your blog or even promote your deals and discounts. eBay has a great blog design containing all the features that can convert your readers to potential customers.
All these factors seem to be generic but their impact is huge. If your UX design is done as per these recommendations then you will surely find a drastic change in your conversion ratio. If it is done appropriately then the entire sales funnel will be fixed within no time. So what are you waiting for? Start working and achieve this year’s resolution before the year ends. | <urn:uuid:2d22ee4a-bc61-44ec-8c31-cb335cb04fce> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 10,320 |

Impact of policy on practice
In order to maintain confidentiality the names used in this piece of work have been anonymised.
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of the impact that policy and specifically Child Protection (CP) policy has made on professional practice. I will identify and analyse an incident associated with child protection in practice which will enable a discussion to debate appropriate local, national and international perspectives. I will also consider the impact of policy on other professionals involved in the event. Furthermore I will use PEST analysis as a framework to explore the impact of policy on practice.
Pest analysis is described by Mindtools, 2009 as a simple, useful and widely-used tool that helps you understand the "big picture" of your Political, Economic, Socio-Cultural and Technological environment'. It is used by business leaders worldwide to build their vision of the future and likewise can be used by practitioners to attain best practice to achieve positive outcomes for individuals.
The practice placement that is the focus of this assignment is a mixed senior school of predominantly working class white students aged 11 - 18. The incident that occurred was discussed between a female pupil - known as Beth Jones aged 12 years and a student social worker (SSW). While in a 1:1 mentoring session Beth disclosed that her mother Elaine Jones had pushed her down the stairs in her home that morning. Beth was traumatised and stated that she was fearful to return to her home that day.
Recently, the views within the UK concerning the status of children have been wide-ranging and this has had some impact on policy and practice. At a socio-cultural level children are now viewed as having the capabilities to engage in building and constructing their own lives and opinions have swayed towards autonomy of women and in particular of children. In today's society, through the emergence of feminist writers especially on issues such as patriarchy and domestic violence, children are viewed as independents rather than being the property of men. This has been reinforced through changes in the political economy of welfare where society's perceptions of children have transformed towards children being independent service users whose wishes and preferences have been given greater importance. (Armstrong, et al 1991).
The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 also ensures that children now have legal rights. (WHO, 1998). The term 'Gillick competent' is used to describe a child under the age of 16 who is judged to be of a 'sufficient understanding and intelligence to be capable of making up his own mind on the matter requiring decision' (Smith, 1996 p52) thus enabling young people like Beth to be heard. The practice implication for this is that when taking into consideration the opinions and wishes of the child, it must first be established what those wishes and views are and then whether those wishes and views are to be considered, or acted on, based on whether the child is deemed to have a full enough understanding of the implications of their decisions.
Every child living in this country is entitled to protection from abuse regardless of his or her background. With the help of the Children Act 1989, and the recommendations made by Lord Laming, (Every Child Matters, 2004), child services within the UK have been given the power to act when they feel a child is being abused. Victoria Climbié aged 8 died from 128 injuries at the hands of her carers in February 2000. The investigatory inquiry into her death conducted by Lord Laming discovered many instances where professionals including line managers had failed to fulfil their roles and numerous flaws where professional networks had failed to protect Victoria during the last months of her life. Laming criticised the lack of professionalism and cooperation between agencies (Laming, 2003 S.1.30) - the Laming Enquiry, lay the foundations for the 'Every Child Matters' Green Paper published in 2003.
In the U.K. the Children Act 1989 aimed to introduce key changes for practice by focusing on principles such as paramountcy of the child, partnership and parental responsibility as well as child protection and family support and the rights of the family against the rights of the child. This has lead to increasing pressures on social workers who have to prove that they have been empowering, anti oppressive and supportive to those involved in their cases. Within the U.K. these policies afford children considerable rights as individuals and these are considered primarily before those of the parents in child protection cases. This has led to a predominantly rights-based legal approach where social workers hold considerable amounts of power. (Archard el al 2002).
Farnfield (1998, p53) talks about 'children as consumers' and the difficulty which many social workers have in balancing the rights of the parents with the rights of the child. Given the drive towards working in partnership with parents in childcare and inclusion of all relevant parties when working within a social care field, it may be difficult, when working with families, to remain focussed on the issue of whom the client is and whose interests are best being served by any particular course of action. Trevithick (2005, p229) discusses a particular case where she was having difficulty in establishing a good relationship with parents in a child protection case. The issue of having the 'agenda' of protecting the children was identified as a stumbling block in the establishment of a rapport with the parents. Brayne and Martin (1999) however argue that, from a legal perspective, in child protection cases the primary client must 'always be the child'. This is borne-out by the policy document 'Working Together to Safeguard Children' which states that professionals should: 'work co-operatively with parents unless this is inconsistent with the need to ensure the child's safety.' This is also compatible with the ethos of child centred practice in placing the child first.
Article 19 of the UN convention on the rights of the child states governments should ensure that children are properly cared for and protect them from violence, abuse and neglect by their parents or anyone else who looks after them. The Human Rights Act 1998 is linked to the implementation of no-smacking policies and states that every child has the 'right not to suffer ill treatment or cruel, unusual punishment.'(Flynn, 2004. p.41). As Beth disclosed to the SSW that she has been physically abused, the SSW refers the disclosure to the Child Protection officer. In line with the Data Protection Act 1998 the information is kept confidential as it is not necessary that any other member of staff need to know about the case at that time. As a result of the deaths of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells in 2004 the Bichard Report was published and made recommendations about how information is shared and stored.Child protection information on a pupil is filed in a separate area to the school file and can only be accessed by the child protection officer and shared with other professionals in a 'need to know basis' a positive impact of policy to protect confidentiality of vulnerable children.
"Undoubtedly the most significant development in childcare policy in Britain over the past twenty-five years has been the preoccupation with child abuse" (Alcock et al 1998). Also it can be suggested that this increase in concern can be seen in all major European countries and constitutes a major key issue in this area of social policy. This concern has not only been emphasised through the formal and legal frameworks of society but also by the general public.
As stated above the rise in concern with child abuse has been evident from the late 60's and early 70's. It is from then that child abuse has become identified as a "social problem" (Alcock et al 1998) mainly through high-publicised cases of child abuse victims. The high profile case of Maria Colwell who died in 1973 after serious injuries were inflicted upon her at her home whilst under the supervision of social services demonstrates this point effectively. Even today 30 years on this case is still being analysed and discussed. When identifying the key issues within child protection it is important to consider the concept of 'balance'. This is a main concern for all countries who find themselves victims of either jumping in too quickly with overzealous assumptions, or on the other hand holding off too long and in the end delaying intervention until in some cases it is too late.
"Any major piece of legislation develops in response to a variety of influences." (Hill, M. and Aldgate, J. 1996). In the U.K. for example, the Children's Act 1989 was the result of a number of influential factors. One of the biggest influences, which have already been mentioned, is that of the wave of child abuse tragedies that occurred over the years. The public inquiries and the amount of media attention that arose because of these cases shed light upon the inadequacies of practice and previous policies. Cases such as Jasmine Beckford and Kimberley Carlisle and the Orkney and Cleveland inquiries impacted public perceptions and professional practice and shaped the responses of the U.K.'s policies to the problem of child abuse. The social reaction prompted those in power to reassess their protection schemes and to readdress the issues of evidenced based practice within their policy changes. According to Alcock et al. these high publicised inquiries, "led to the promulgation of extensive procedural guidance at central and local levels to social welfare and other agencies designed to avoid repetition of tragedy and scandal" (Alcock et al 1998).
Back to the scenario with Beth, after discussion with the child protection officer, a decision is made to make a referral to social services. Policy states that any disclosure of physical abuse results in steps that must be taken to protect the child. This may produce an emergency protection order as she is deemed to be at risk of harm if she returns to her mother's care. A social workers main aim in the U.K. is to guarantee young people like Beth's right to protection from harm and if necessary will battle with parents and other agencies to fulfil this.
In comparison, Europe and specifically France, children have not been accorded as many individual rights independently of their family. Their position is a result of the 'traditional' state and family perspective'. The French policies have adapted to this cultural opinion and have enforced that child protection work should be focused on the family and that children should be considered not as an individual but as part of the family. Traditionally the focus is that the parents are superior to the children giving them the rights of decisions, protection and care. This is the view of French society where their main concern is keeping the birth family together and taking risks is acceptable. It can be suggested that in France a 'humanistic model' (Parton ,cited in Armstrong et al 1991) is followed to a certain degree. The country's view that social factors are very likely to be involved in child abuse cases is evident in their policies, which apply preventative, counselling and therapeutic approaches. Examples of this can include the forcing of families to co-operate at the intervention stage, which is unheard of in Britain. One of the main concerns of this system is the fact that in most cases the Children's Judge does not hear the child's wishes and views, and if they are heard they are poorly represented. In the U.K. as stated the protective attitude of society is reflected in their policies that recognise the state as having direct responsibility for protecting children when the parents have failed. If Beth were in France she would not be given an independent voice and a right to immediate protection without a full family investigation.
The protective U.K. system appears to have disadvantages, Cooper proves this point by highlighting that in France there has never been any highly publicised cases of abuse as in Britain; therefore there has never been a lack of confidence in social work. The positive aspect of French child protection policy is a constructive public perception which eases tensions within the social worker and family relationship and also encourages co-operation of the family. It was also found that French social workers have a, "consistent, trusting professional relationship at the centre of their professional aims" whereas in the U.K. social workers are mainly concerned with "whether parents are guilty or innocent and with the task of collecting evidence" this impacts on UK social workers as they are on the receiving end of accusations and abuse and stereotypical blame. (Cooper, A. 1994 p59-67).
Effective communication is essential for organisations to be successful. It is the process by which information is exchanged between one group or person and another, by computer, telephone, letter, meetings, text, fax or face to face. The deaths of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in August 2002 sparked the Bichard enquiry into child protection procedures in the Humberside Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary in the light of the trial and conviction of Ian Huntley for the murder of the two young girls. He had previously been suspected of committing sexual assaults on at least eight occasions and at the age of 21 Ian Huntley had sexual relationships with at least three 15-year-old girls for whom social services were aware but failed to communicate this information to the police. If the police had been aware of this information, this may have shown up when vetting checks were being carried out on Huntley and may have stopped him from getting a job at the school that the girls had attended. In December 2003 the Humberside Police said 'the main reason for this was because of the Data Protection Act'. Information about dealings with Ian Huntley had not been available to them during vetting checks. This inquiry also stated that the problem was due to the police not having been told about this legislation regarding information about the person being vetted. A report stated that police officers were nervous about breaching the legislation, partly at least because too little was done to educate and reassure them about its impact. Michael Bichard labelled it an inelegant and cumbersome piece of legislation and the judiciary stated that better guidance is needed on the collection, retention, deletion, use and sharing of information, so that police officers, social workers and other professionals can feel more confident in using information properly. This simply indicates the importance of effective communication. The information system may have been used to its full potential if the officers had been aware of the limits of the Data Protection Act. Ian Huntley's date of birth had been entered into the system incorrectly. If this information had been entered correctly then they would have been aware of his past behaviour. This would effectively stop him working in the school and the girls trusting him as a safe adult. The PNC (Police National Computer) only checked against the name Ian Nixon (an alias) and not Ian Huntley. An Information system can fail completely without accurate information from the end user, highlighting the systems reliance on good communication with its users. (Bichard Inquiry, 2004).
The Children Act 2004 empowered the Secretary of State for Education to create a database (or databases) of everyone in England who is aged under 18. In July 2007, the regulations that will bring this first national database of children into being were passed by Parliament. The government has announced that the database will be called ContactPoint. It was originally known as the Information-Sharing Index, but re-branded in February 2007 because of negative publicity about information sharing. ContactPoint is effectively a file-front that serves the whole range of agencies that may be involved with a child. It is intended to provide a complete directory of all children from birth, together with a list of the agencies with which s/he is in contact. It will not hold any case records, but will enable practitioners to indicate their involvement with a family and contact each other in order to share information. It will also show whether an eCAF (an in-depth personal profile under the Common Assessment Framework) has been carried out and is available for sharing. A response from teachers in local schools have indicated that agencies are finding the procedure confusing with long waiting times for an initial reply for services. Another negative criticism of this policy as stated by Searing, 2007 'the danger is that once social work has become more closely aligned with an inter-agency system of surveillance and monitoring of families most people will be less open and trusting towards social workers and this will make their job more difficult' thus further negative impact on the social worker role.
The Governments response to the Laming Enquiry was almost immediate with the production of the Green Paper 'Every Child Matters' 2004. In conjunction with Every Child Matters (ECM) is The Children Act 2004, which is in addition to the original Act 1989. The Act encompasses several components based on recommendations from the Laming Report and is responsible for promoting a partnership between agencies working with children including health, education and social care in a more cohesive manner (Allen, 2008). According to Smith the Children Act 1989 (CA, 1989) simplified all pre-existing legislation in relation to children and families. It imposed new duties on local authorities relating to the identification and assessment of 'children in need', and gave all Local Authorities new responsibilities for looked after children. The introduction of the Act also provided the Court with Emergency Protection Orders to protect children at risk of harm which replaced the Place of Safety Orders. Smith (2001) argues that the Children Act was particularly relevant because for the first time it placed more emphasis upon the importance of inter-agency collaborative working as a means of responding to the needs of both children and their families. This policy provided immediate protection to Beth, initiated within the school environment and in collaboration with social services, a good example of interagency working. If Beth had not been listened to or taken seriously she would be at risk of further abuse and may not disclose further abuse due to lack of support.
It is important that professionals and agencies co-operate and work together in child protection cases so that all the relevant and correct information is available, and accurate in order to help and support the child. In recent cases, specifically that of Victoria Climbie, this was not done and therefore Victoria was put at further harm, and subsequently died when she could have been saved if the agencies had worked effectively and shared information. This is why the Every Child Matters legislation came about, to try and prevent this in the future. Children at risk need coordinated help from health, education, social services and other agencies, including youth justice services. These professionals are required to work together in order to protect the children and keep them safe, and to help bring to justice the perpetrators of crimes against children. As a result of Every Child Matters, now children known to more than one agency will have a single named professional to lead their case. This has proved to be an effective tool in Beth's scenario as guidance enables the professionals within the school to take action immediately to protect her as she was placed on an emergency protection order. Even though the policy is over five years old, when applied effectively stops a child falling through the net. Policy has shaped the care for this service user and had a significant impact on her outcome.

Don Young's fake Lincoln quote fails to fool all of the people all of the time
You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.--Probably not Abraham Lincoln.
I'd like to make a quote: "Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."--Abraham Lincoln.--Don Young (R-AK), February 15, 2007.
Fact Check exposed the phony Lincoln quote in August 2006, after catching Republican candidate Diane Irey deploying it against John Murtha on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania. Fact Check traced the essay to right wing "scholar" J. Michael Waller who admitted that he had written the words attributed to Lincoln and published them in INSIGHT Magazine in December 2003.
Here are the opening paragraphs:
Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged. That's what President Abraham Lincoln said during the War Between the States.
While none have suggested such extreme measures in the midst of the war on terrorism, Lincoln's approach illustrates the deadly seriousness of political responsibility in wartime and draws a fine line between legitimate political dissent and aiding the enemy.
The Supreme Court eventually stopped Lincoln's policy of having treasonous lawmakers arrested and tried before military tribunals, but for decades after the war, the late president's Republican Party successfully tagged the Democrats as the "party of treason."
Waller denies that he fabricated the quote or deliberately attributed it to Lincoln. Instead, he blames an unnamed rogue copy editor at INSIGHT who put quotation marks around the first sentence without his permission:
I'm sure the editor thought he was trying to correct what he thought was poor punctuation. The fact is, President Lincoln never said it, and I never claimed the words were his.
When I saw the quotation marks in print, I asked a senior editor to insert a clarification in the next issue of the magazine and on the website. He never did. I unwisely failed to push the matter and went on, thinking that the magazine wasn't widely read anyway.
That was a bad move, and I should have pressed for a correction. I didn't receive any feedback at all until just over a week ago while on vacation, when Brooks Jackson at FactCheck.org contacted me about it. A candidate running against Rep. John Murtha (D-Penn.) had used the quote thinking it was real, Jackson said. So did thousands of others. Jackson told me that he found 18,000 references to the so-called quote on the Internet.
My sentence, I thought at the time, was a vivid way of summarizing what President Lincoln had said about congressmen who sabotaged the Union during the Civil War. (One of my editors, a southerner in spirit, changed my "Civil War" reference to "War Between the States." I'm from New England and have always called it the "Civil War.")
That's right, Waller says never pressed for a correction because he figured nobody read INSIGHT anyway. And that creepy "War Between the States" lingo? Also the work of overzealous underlings, allegedly.
Even if Waller is telling the truth about the phantom copy editor, the spiritual southerner, and/or the lazy senior editor, the fact remains that his essay misrepresents Lincoln.
Waller claims that his gloss of Lincoln is based on this June 1863 letter in which Lincoln defends his constitutional power to suspend habeas corpus in the case of Clement Vallandigham, who was arrested for inciting troops to desert at a public meeting in Ohio during the Civil War.
"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged. That's what President Abraham Lincoln said during the War Between the States," Waller insists.
Clearly, Waller wants you to infer that Lincoln was denouncing legislators who criticized his policies. The original article is a screed about how the Democrats were committing treason by investigating the pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
Waller claims that the Supreme Court eventually stopped "Lincoln's policy of having treasonous lawmakers arrested and tried before military tribunals." Lincoln didn't have as policy of arresting lawmakers who criticized him for political reasons. Lincoln had no such policy. When Vallandigham was arrested, he wasn't even a congressman!
In the letter that Waller cites, Lincoln explicitly says that he doesn't support the president's right to arrest his political opponents just because they are critical of his policies or the military during wartime:
Take the particular case mentioned by the meeting. They assert [It is asserted] in substance that Mr. Vallandigham was by a military commander, seized and tried "for no other reason than words addressed to a public meeting, in criticism of the course of the administration, and in condemnation of the military orders of that general" Now, if there be no mistake about this—if this assertion is the truth and the whole truth—if there was no other reason for the arrest, then I concede that the arrest was wrong. But the arrest, as I understand, was made for a very different reason. Mr. Vallandigham avows his hostility to the war on the part of the Union; and his arrest was made because he was laboring, with some effect, to prevent the raising of troops, to encourage desertions from the army, and to leave the rebellion without an adequate military force to suppress it. He was not arrested because he was damaging the political prospects of the administration, or the personal interests of the commanding general; but because he was damaging the army, upon the existence, and vigor of which, the life of the nation depends. He was warring upon the military; and this gave the military constitutional jurisdiction to lay hands upon him. If Mr. Vallandigham was not damaging the military power of the country, then his arrest was made on mistake of fact, which I would be glad to correct, on reasonably satisfactory evidence.
Lincoln claimed that Vallandigham's arrest was a matter of public safety. You don't have to believe Lincoln's excuse in order to follow his argument about the difference between suspending habeas during rebellion or invasion for safety reasons vs. the president's right to jail his political enemies without trial. (Lincoln's gambit should remind us that even the best leaders will grab power if you let them. Thankfully the Supreme Court was there to put Lincoln in his place.)
The fact that Waller's shoddy essay garnered over 18,000 mentions on the internet, and several citations by major politicians is very disturbing. Clearly, many right wingers are desperate to believe that one of our most esteemed presidents was a tyrant. | <urn:uuid:dac69ac9-e61d-4058-9a95-f96243d84168> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 6,942 |

Abigail K. Major '19, Gettysburg College
Student Research Paper
The Renaissance era, which spanned from the 14th century until the 16th century, served as a transitional period. Considered to be a period of rebirth, the Renaissance commenced a revival in culture, literature, and the arts throughout Europe. The 16th century antiphon not only signifies that music was indeed an important aspect during the Renaissance, but is also tangible evidence that choral music, and more specifically Gregorian chant, were prominent forms of musical expression.

When PBS Newshour anchor Gwen Ifill announced Tuesday night that the broadcast would feature a segment on the University of Kentucky’s decisive winning season and the NCAA title this year, I gulped.
“Oh no,” I winced. “Is PBS going to do a number on the UK men’s team and the talented freshmen-sophomore guys who dominated Kansas Monday night?”
Would the Lexington Fire Department have to be called to 600 Cooper Drive to extinguish a burning sofa set ablaze on the sidewalk of the KET broadcast center in protest over what was reported in the PBS story?
Not too worry—it was a very fair piece featuring a discussion of the NBA’s one-and-done rule by Lexington Herald-Leader sports reporter Jerry Tipton and Kevin Blackstone, a professor of journalism and ESPN commentator.
Why avoid discussing something that every basketball fan in the country is talking about?
The one-and-done rule is not Coach John Calipari’s rule; it was written by the National Basketball Association. Coach Cal would like to change it to keep kids in school for at least another year. Stop and think about that for a moment—Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Teague—back for their sophomore year?

Many people understand that opioid addiction treatment is perhaps one of the only ways to ensure that individuals in need of medical help for substance abuse will begin to recover safely. Sadly, not enough individuals in the U.S. understand the benefits of these types of programs, and certainly not as many people who need treatment actually receive it. Though our government is attempting to ensure that more people get the help they need, many feel that more could be done.
The recent declaration that upgraded the country’s long-term opioid crisis to a serious public health emergency is changing the way many people look at the problem. It may also help more people get treatment, as it could make it easier for people covered under Medicare to seek out-of-network help and it could provide telemedicine to people in rural areas. However, according to Addictions.com, the problem could be addressed much more thoroughly—and people would be more likely to receive treatment for addiction—if the government were to declare the opioid crisis to be an actual state of emergency rather than a public health emergency.
A state of emergency could help us fight the opioid addiction crisis in a number of ways, from potentially making naloxone more accessible, especially to people in rural areas, to creating more support for medication-assisted treatment to even removing some of the stigma surrounding addiction. One of the most effective things this declaration could accomplish, however, is to make funding for addiction treatment more available.
Every year, thousands of individuals in the U.S. live with addiction and do not seek medical help available in the form of treatment. This is often due to the financial aspects of seeking care, especially when inpatient treatment (which is usually most effective) is the most expensive option. Declaring this crisis to be a national emergency could actually force treatment to become more affordable and make more people able to get the help they need in the form of medical care.
Sadly, it does not seem that the declaration of a public health emergency will create these same benefits or even similar ones. While the outcome could be helpful in some ways, the proposed changes barely scratch the surface when it comes to the severity of the opioid crisis. Also, when it comes to making sure more people have access to and will seek out safe, reliable, and professional care, a public health emergency does little to create change. This is why, more than ever before, people have begun to demand that the government declare the opioid addiction crisis a state of emergency, if for no other reason than to make treatment more accessible, more affordable, and more of an option for those who are living every day with addiction.
Making sure you or your loved one seeks rehab is paramount in the process of recovery and fighting opioid addiction. Don’t let the stigmas associated with addiction or the financial aspect of seeking treatment stop you from getting the help you need.
