CURRICULUM DESIGN STATEMENT:
INTENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT
July 23 UPDATE
The breadth of our curriculum is designed with two main drivers and goals in mind;
- To give the pupils appropriate experiences to develop as confident, responsible citizens.
- Provide a coherent, structured academic curriculum that leads to sustained mastery for all and a greater depth of understanding for those who are capable.
We have developed two curriculum drivers that shape our curriculum, bring about the aims and values of the school, and respond to the need of the community.
1.) POSSIBLITIES – which helps pupils build aspirations and know available possibilities for their future lives.
2.) INITIATIVE – This is to help children become resilient and proactive learners. To be able to make their own choices and learn about the world.
We have the expectation that every pupil will be a fluent reader by the age of 7. We keep reading at the heart of everything we do from the minute they enter school. Reading underpins every element of our curriculum and ambition for our children. If we teach them to read, to become fluent readers then it opens the door for all learning to come.
A key element of our curriculum is the need to enrich our pupil’s knowledge and experience of the world.
A coherently planned academic curriculum underpinned by the key drivers, our academic curriculum uses either the EYFS or the National Curriculum as the basis for content and expectations. We have structured each stage (mixed classes) so that each stage has:
a.) a clear list of what must be covered (curriculum map)
b.) the ‘threshold concepts’ pupils should understand. (Essentials curriculum key objectives)
c.) Criteria for progression within the threshold.
d.) Criteria for depth of understanding.
The curriculum map for each year group ensures that each teacher has clarity of what to cover. We use the Cornerstones curriculum to ensure progression and linked learning with skills and understanding spiralling throughout each year on a two-year programme for our mixed aged classes for key subjects.
Threshold concepts are the key disciplinary aspects of each subject that will shape pupils.
Our curriculum design is based on evidence from cognitive science, three mains principles underpin it:
1.) Learning is better in spaced repetition.
2.) Interleaving helps pupils to discriminate between topics and aids long term retention.
3.) Retrieval of previously learned content is frequent and regular, which increases both storage and retrieval strength.
In addition to the three principles we also understand that learning in invisible in the short term and that sustained mastery takes time.
Some of our content is subject specific, whilst other content is combined in a cross curricular approach. Continuous provision in the form of daily routines, replace some aspects of the curriculum and, in other cases, provides retrieval practise for previously learned content.
The impact of our curriculum is that by the end of each milestone, the vast majority of pupils have sustained mastery of the content, that is, they remember it all and are fluent in it. Some pupils have a greater depth of understanding. We track carefully to ensure pupils are on track to reach the expectations of our curriculum. We use Maestro assessments to asses where pupils are at at the end of each year group. We assess the keys skills and the understanding in the subjects taught.
Our curriculum complies with all the duties in the and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 and is accessible for those with disabilities or special educational needs. The Drivers through our curriculum is a curriculum which nurtures and embraces difference. Cambois is a place where everyone is welcome and we truly embrace the personalised learning approach and opportunities for all our learners.
All classes and staff make reasonable adjustments to ensure all pupils regardless of needs or disabilities have access to a broad and balanced curriculum.
We have a two year cycle of planning based on the National Curriculum 2014 and driven by our curriculum policy and drivers. The aims of our curriculum are to create a curriculum that motivates and equips our children for their future life. Basic skills of Reading, Writing and Maths are a key thread through the whole curriculum alongside our key drivers of possibilities and initiative.
On this page, you will find the National Curriculum (2014) statutory requirements, for each National Curriculum Year Group, mapped by core and non-core subject. The documents show the statutory areas that the children must be taught by year group for the core subjects (English, Maths and Science) and non-core. All non-core subjects are broken down by Key Stage.
We are very lucky to be a part of the Bedlington Music Partnership. We use the Charanga music curriculum to ensure we have a broad, balanced and progressive curriculum.
We believe that learning should be life-long and our children should be equipped with skills that help them in all aspects of life. Our children take part in many enrichment activities. There is a skills based enrichment curriculum covering, Coding and ICT skills, Nurture, Forest School, Gardening, independent skills, P,E and Cycling.
We are lucky that we have a great outdoor area and we use this to develop and promote resilience, team -building and learning about risk and challenge. We have a super Forest School and each class take a turn to learn outdoors in this area. We have a Forest School Teacher working in school. | <urn:uuid:4d5488d0-d34f-489c-855d-4bd63f9a4d2e> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 5,573 |

It is Sunday and time for the latest installment of DearMYRTLE’s BEST of the Internet for Genealogists Awards. With spring in the air, genealogists are excitedly planning summer research trips. Some of this week’s suggestions will help prioritize your trip(s).
[Ahem, drum roll please…]
The BEST of the Internet for Genealogists – 30 March 2008 awards go to:
BLOG: If you’ve promised yourself you are not going on vacation until you get the last of those 3,000 family photos scanned, consider Rick Crume’s suggestion to use a high speed scanning service. "The Internet Guy" Rick Crume is from www.onelibrary.com and author of Plugging Into Your Past. His blog posted 3/7/2007 is no longer available at RootsTelevision, but Rick’s text pulled in by Ol' Myrt’s feed reader is noteworthy: “This blog usually focuses on Internet genealogy, but today I'm going to sneak in a posting on digital photography. Over the holidays, I spent a lot of time scanning old family photographs and copying them to CDs to share with relatives. I scanned several pictures at a time and used Adobe Photoshop Elements to divide the pictures into separate files, but it was still a time-consuming process. Yesterday, USA Today had an interesting article on high-speed photo-scanning services that could save me a lot of time next Christmas. 30 Minute Photos in California uses a high-speed scanner to digitize up to 750 photos in 5 minutes. You can have up to 1,000 photos scanned for $49.95 or as many as you can fit in their prepaid box (more than 1,600 4x6 photos) for $99.95. The pictures are scanned at 300 dpi and returned to you, along with the scanned images on a CD or DVD. This service sounds like a great time-saver, but it's not a perfect solution. You have to pack your irreplaceable family photos in a box and entrust it to the US Postal Service. The owner of 30 Minute Photos says none of his customers has lost a single picture in shipping. Also, 30 Minute Photos won't scan photos smaller than 3x5 inches, so that leaves out 126mm pictures. And they won't scan bent or curled pictures. Still, 30 Minute Photos sounds like an excellent way to get scans of modern snapshots. But before sending off my pictures, I'm going to see if local companies offer a similar service.”

- List of Databases by Month
SCANNED IMAGE SITE: 40% of Americans trace their roots back to an ancestor that came through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924. EllisIslandRecords.org provides an online search the index of passenger records listing over 22 million people. Once you’ve found an ancestor in the index, click to view his original passenger list entry, and then it is another click to view a photo and description of the transport ship. From this website, we learn the “Ellis Island Immigration Museum is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and is one of the country's most popular historic sites. In 2001, The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, in partnership with the National Park Service, unveiled the American Family Immigration History Center®. This exciting family research facility at Ellis Island provides visitors with advanced computer and multimedia technology, printed materials, and professional assistance for investigating immigration history, family documentation, and genealogical exploration.”
PODCAST: The new FGS 2008 Philly Podcast, hosted by Shamell Jordan, is sure to be of interest to those planning to travel to Philadelphia for the Sept 3rd through 6th 2008 Federation of Genealogical Society annual conference. The March 26th episode features an interview with Leslie Albrecht Huber, MPA, previewing info she will present in her FGS conference class “Crossing the Ocean with the Internet”. Tune in for Philly-related discussions about the $10 airport shuttle, and local facilities that will be of use to out-of-towners. Test your knowledge as two contestants play “Genealogy Jeopardy”, scheduled to continue during upcoming podcasts. I sure hope the FGS decides to keep running this podcast in the years to come. This is a brilliant idea for building interest in the event, and orienting people to the travel experience!
VIDEO: “Flat Stanley’s Family Tree” posted at RootsTelevision.com. Stanley travels this world, and the genealogical leg of his journeys is chronicled by Aunt Mae-Mae’s nephew “Austin” Brock Jackson. This is a fun, inter-generational look at family history. Stops along the way: the National Archives; Williamsburg, Virginia, including the stockade; and San Francisco cable cars. It is a good idea to combine ancestral research with doing “touristy” things, particularly for the non-genealogists in your touring group.
COMMENTARY: The article by Paula Stuart Warren, CG “Preparing for a Successful Research Trip” was published 1 July 2004 in Ancestry Magazine also available online. Included is a list of books to assist your planning, in addition to this advice “Coordinate your itinerary carefully if you are traveling with a spouse, family members, or friends. Let your travel companions know in advance what you want to do with your limited research time. You want to be successful in your genealogical research, but you also want your travel companions to enjoy themselves. If they have something fun to do, it is less likely they will be unhappy when you go to the historical society for just one more afternoon.”
INNOVATION: Google Maps provides not only maps and driving directions, but also traffic view, satellite view, terrain view, and street view with your car parked in the driveway. (If it was there the day the Google team shot the photos!) For you men out there who “don’t ask for directions” maybe this hi-tech interface will make the mapping challenge a little easier to take. Create & save your own series of maps, and add interactive content from Google. Google Maps is where I’ve begun to keep DearMYRTLE's Salt Lake City Map to include links for genealogists who visit the Family History Library here in Salt Lake City and need to know where the closest pharmacy, grocery and dining places are located. I’ve now visited all the restaurants listed. (It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it!) I won’t list restaurants I don’t like. If your favorite isn’t listed, let me know -- it probably just means I haven’t been there yet. After all, I’ve only lived here since 15 November 2007.
ETHNIC STUDIES: Being away from home and hearth will probably make even the most enthusiastic genealogy researchers “home sick” and appreciative of Schelly Talalay Dardashti’s “Rain, cold, wind call for comfort food” posted 15 Feb 2008 at the Tracing the Tribe blog. We can each relate to family food traditions, passed down for generations. Catch Schelly’s sense of humor as she begins “The past few days in Israel have been wet, windy and cold. And, of course, there was that pesky earthquake, which at a desk-rattling 5.3 was strong enough to remind me of our Los Angeles days. This sort of weather and environmental danger makes me nostalgic for Jewish comfort food, deli-style. And since Israel lacks even one traditional Jewish deli (felafel and humus just doesn't cut it).”
Please note that this week's award winners may have published the spotlighted content earlier, it is just that this week Ol' Myrt here stumbled across them and wishes to honor excellent work.
If you have suggestions for winning genealogy content be sure to drop me a line. After all, we get by with a little help from our friends.
Happy family tree climbing!
DearMYRTLE, Your friend in genealogy.

I’m Curtis your chef and this is my life and journey. I was born and lived most of my life in PA. I was the valedictorian of my high school and
graduated with honors from Juniata College I met my wife Krystal while studying my junior year in Cheltenham England.
We have been married 22 years and have lived in Maine and PA. We have two boys, one in college, Malachi,
and one home-schooled, Camden. And can’t forget our ten year old jack a poo, Zoe!
I’ve worked mostly for non-profits including a camp and a pregnancy center. I enjoy acting and writing.
I’ve been in several Hollywood productions including “Silver Linings Playbook” and “House of Cards.”
I like to treasure hunt and have made several trips to the Rockies looking for Forest Fenn’s treasure.
I want to eventually live off grid after spending time traveling in an RV to find the perfect location.
I’ve been working for Kitchen Craft for a year now and love hearing all the stories from customers who’ve had our cookware longer
then I’ve been alive. To date my longest testimony is 64 years!! What a privilege it is to sell a product I firmly believe in. | <urn:uuid:8271ce07-9002-4c43-997c-72f6534e07aa> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,375 |

Theres no way I take that list seriously with Barry Bonds at #34. The single Season Homerun leader, All-Time homerun leader, 500 Sb's, Single season walks record, All Time walks record... that list is just out dated... im done reading such crazyness.
Well...I believe the list is from 1999, so you really can't expect them to be clairvoyant. That year Bond's had an OPS of 1.400+ sort of blows my mind...232 BB's? 120 of which were intentional? Seriously?
It's a bit of a silly discussion anyway, most of which would have to be based on subjectivity...so...Pujols playing 2B...craziness. | <urn:uuid:39885d28-c7a0-4187-b4dd-6cf3cf90bc18> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 964 |
There are several effective drugs, called anthelmintics, which will eliminate hookworms. Most are given orally and have few, if any, side effects. However, these drugs only kill the adult hookworms. “It is necessary to treat an infected dog again in about two to four weeks to kill newly developed adult worms…”
How long does it take for hookworms to go away in dogs?
Recovery of Hookworms in Dogs
If caught early, it usually takes around 3-5 days for symptoms to resolve following medication, and a few weeks to completely eliminate the worms.
Is it hard to get rid of hookworms in dogs?
Treating hookworms in dogs requires the intervention of a veterinarian who can prescribe your dog with a dewormer, or anthelmintic. These drugs are usually oral and come with few side effects, but they only kill the adult hookworms.
Are hookworms hard to treat?
Fortunately, treatment is relatively straightforward. As with other parasites, if we understand their life cycle, we can better treat and prevent their transmission. Figure 1A. Ancylostoma caninum hookworms as viewed on fecal flotation at x40 magnification.
What happens if hookworms go untreated in dogs?
Hookworms are intestinal parasites that cause anemia in dogs and can be fatal in puppies if left untreated.
Can a puppy survive hookworms?
It is not uncommon for young puppies to die from severe hookworm infections. Dogs may also exhibit coughing in severe cases. “It is not uncommon for young puppies to die from severe hookworm infections.”
Are hookworms painful for dogs?
The condition is easily treated but can cause mild to extreme discomfort in the affected person. One species of hookworm that infects dogs is known to develop in the human intestine, too, where it may cause disease.
Can hookworms live in my carpet?
Hookworms are not very viable in carpet to begin with. High heat and regular cleaning products should do the trick. Also Frontline spray (very effective at killing parasites) can be used to treat the area first, before using your carpet shampooing products.
How long after deworming will my dog pass worms?
Your puppy will pass worms with their poo after deworming. This happens for up to 3 days after the deworming process. If you do not dispose of the excrement properly, the eggs in the poop can cause reinfection if your pup comes into contact with them.
Can hookworms live in my house?
Unless animals or people have defecated in your home, it is not necessary to disinfect your home from hookworms. Hookworms aren’t directly contagious because the eggs must mature into larvae before another person can contract the infection. If disinfection is necessary, use diluted bleach to clean surfaces.
How do I get rid of hookworms in my yard?
To treat the environment, use Outdoor Pest Control yard spray in and around the yard to control the spread of hookworms and other parasites (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes). Wondercide will dissolve the full life cycle, including insect egg and larvae, which is crucial to controlling hookworms.
What is the commonest complication of hook worm infestation?
Hookworms feed on blood in your intestines. An untreated, severe infection results in blood loss. Blood loss can lead to anemia and protein deficiency. Severe anemia can cause dizziness, fatigue, muscle cramps, shortness of breath and chest pain.
What is the life cycle of a hookworm?
Life Cycle. In Animals: hookworm larvae mature to adults in the intestine. Soon after feeding on blood the adults begin laying eggs which pass with the feces. Under favorable conditions of moisture and warmth the eggs hatch within 12 to 18 hours and a tiny juvenile emerges.
How do you get rid of worms in dogs fast?
Natural ways to combat worms in your dog
- Apple cider vinegar (ACV) ACV can make your pet’s intestines inhospitable to worms. …
- Chopped carrots. Several fruits and vegetables can help you rid your dog of worms. …
- Dried Coconut. Dried coconut can help eliminate worms from the body. …

How long does dog wormer take to work?
How long do dog worming tablets take to work? Most treatments get to work rapidly, killing intestinal worms starting from around 2 to 6 hours after administering the de-wormer.
How contagious are hookworms in dogs?
Are hookworms contagious for humans or other pets? Hookworms are a zoonotic disease, which means they can be spread between animals and humans. Your dog cannot transmit hookworms to you directly, but hookworm eggs can pass through your dog’s feces and into the environment. | <urn:uuid:58875aab-b393-4d7c-84a3-78bd9e9edf06> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,521 |
Reasons for the utilization of CMM
- Reduction of CO2-emissions
Methane is the main greenhouse gas associated with coal production and utilisation. Its GHP (greenhouse potential) is 21 times higher than that of CO2. The gas mixture known as coal mine methane (CMM) has a fluctuating composition, depending of the gas content of the particular coal seam, of the recovery method and the progress of mining works in the underground. Most of the gas is released during mining process and is emitted with the ventilation air or by degassing systems. The advantages of using methane as a fuel are not only the diversification of energy resources and the saving of fossil fuel resources. Utilisation of methane by combustion is also a very potent tool of environmental protection, because of the high greenhouse potential of methane compared against carbon dioxide.
methane oxidation: CH4 + 2O2 = 2H2O+ CO2
produced GHP: burning 1 t CH4 => 2.75 t CO2
avoided GHP per 1 t CH4 => 21 t CO2eq
net effect of burning 1 t CH4 => reduction 18.25 t CO2eq
- Safety issues
CMM is the greatest hazard in coal mining. Many miners have died of the consequences of methane gas explosions. So degassing is a very important part of work in gassy mines. If the captured methane is also an energy resource, additional incentives are given to extract the methane as good as possible.
- Unconventional Fuel
According to the current opinion, CMM is a suitable fuel for heat and power production, such as car fuel or feedstock for chemical production. But the existing barriers make the investment in CMM utilisation projects very risky and are strong limiting factors for the development of such projects.
The guiding idea of the project is to develop methods for economically interesting schemes for potential investors and operators wishing to use coal mine methane. The existing barriers, procedures and requirements should be found and described, and last but not least: new technologies and flexible project solutions for the use of CMM should be applied and optimised. | <urn:uuid:197b22e6-f3bb-4c5f-a6ed-a22689f338f8> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,045 |
The OECD has recently released the report Policies to Reduce Microplastics Pollution in Water : Focus on Textiles and Tyres focused on the plastic emissions releases across the textile processes.
Microplastics emissions occur and are influenced by several stages of the lifecycle of textiles and tyres. As such, a broad range of entry points exist for the implementation of mitigation measures, including via:
- Source-directed approaches, such as the sustainable design and manufacturing of textiles, tyres, and complementary products (i.e. washing machines, laundry detergents, road surfaces and vehicles), to minimise the tendency of products to contribute to microplastics generation;
- Use-oriented approaches, such as the uptake of best use practices (e.g. laundering parameters, eco-driving) and mitigation technologies (e.g. microfibre filters), to reduce preventable releases;
- End-of-life approaches, such as improved waste management practices, to prevent waste leaking into the environment and potentially contributing to microplastics generation;
- End-of-pipe approaches, such as improved wastewater, stormwater, and road runoff management and treatment, to retain the emitted microplastics before these reach water bodies. | <urn:uuid:08f1bbd8-e027-46d3-b352-42c208953010> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,238 |

You are not alone. None of us received the black armor weapons set dlc with our preorders off the PSN. I've contacted Sony and Bandai numerous times and the problem is on Sony's end. Sony told me to delete the game and redownload it though this did nothing but waste more of my time.
It had been claimed that it would be fixed once the PSN updated. Though it finally updated a few hours ago, 2 and 1/2 days late, and nothing changed. I've deleted my game yet again and installed it. Making it my 3rd time to download and install it and STILL no bonus weapons. Not in the game nor does it show up in my downloads.
While you can eventually find all the weapons from the bonus in the game without the dlc you can't, of course, start the game with them. It's so unfortunate that Dark Souls 2, which is an awesome game, has had it's launch tarnished by something that is so easy to resolve. Sony, just send us codes for the dlc and the problem goes away.
I've owned this since release, black armor version. I have tried logging into playstation store. Only option I see is to buy game for 59.99. No black armor. Who can I contact or what do I do??? | <urn:uuid:94b6b92e-9067-4152-a92c-5a66f8de9fa6> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,143 |
We're just trucking along in the latest Archie Mega Man arc, which began in issue #13. The "Spirit ex Machina" storyline is approaching its climax in #15, as Mega Man, Pharaoh Man, Elec Man, and the original character Quake Woman must disable bombs planted inside the Advanced Robotics Trade Show to prevent the deaths of all the robots in attendance as well as their creators. All the while, they have to avoid harming the human Emerald Spears terrorists behind the whole operation.
For a kids' comic, this current arc tackles some really heavy subjects in regards to humanity and ethics. Last year, I had written an article that questioned the logic behind granting robots personality and self-awareness. I was observing the events of the Mega Man series through the eyes of Dr. Wily, painting him as a tragic hero in the face of Dr. Light's naive and misguided attempts to turn machines into friends and family. While the comic approaches the subject from a much different angle, it echoes many of the arguments I originally presented.
By giving a robot a "heart," we are forming an emotional bond that could potentially impede rational judgment. On the other hand, robots with a "heart" can potentially enrich people's lives in ways that simple tools never could. It's a very deep debate, and I'm stunned that the comic is handling it so eloquently.

Ruth Rendell’s Chief Inspector Wexford series started in 1964 and is ongoing to this day with 23 books at present, the last one having been published just last year. I’ve been reading this series for may years now but only recently did I find some of the books I was missing so I decided to start from the beginning all over again. It’s not a requirement to read them in order because each is a stand-alone mystery novel, but the characters do evolve and there is the occasional mention of a previous case on some of the books. I decided to read them again because i don’t remember many of them anymore and also because, to me, the best thing about the books is the description of the two main characters – Wexford and Burden. They are flawed and not always nice but I can’t help liking them and admire their dedication to job and family.
Because it is an on-going series and the books I remember best are her latest, it was a shock to read those earlier novels again. The social mindset about women – response to a suspect washing his clothes: ‘you washed them? What d’you have a wife for?’ or how a young girl feels she’s not good enough to marry because her father was a murderer – freaked me out at times. The value of money has also changed so much that it was hard to understand why it was such a big deal for someone to have 100 pounds in their wallet. Not until you realize the average worker made about 20 pounds a week.
Ruth Rendell is a British mystery writer so there is some common ground with other authors in the genre but she has some very unique characteristics as well. The similarities are obvious: the stories are set in a fairly small town and there’s the class element, but, as seen in the previous paragraph, for books written by a woman before or around 1970, it’s quite odd and refreshing to find out the killer is actually a jilted lesbian or a sexual sadist with a fetish for cutting up his bed partners rather than the typical jealous husband or the vicar. That’s what Ruth Rendell is so good at: the shock value. Also, if there’s a romantic story somewhere in the book you KNOW it’s going to end badly. It’s a sure thing. And even though I like romantic novels and like happy endings, Rendell’s unhappy endings are done in such a way that you feel it really couldn’t work out any other way.
Another great thing about these books is that Ruth Rendell is obviously a smart and well educated woman and her books are filled with poetry quotes and unusual words so you can actually expand your vocabulary as you’re enjoying your murder mystery 🙂
The only negative note I’ve made is that there seem to be way too many observations on the weather, a British obsession, that sometimes goes on for pages. The point of these descriptions is to set the atmosphere and to give extra insight into the characters but late at night it sometimes makes me doze off a bit.
I’m now on the fifth book – a new one – and have 18 more to go, ending with ‘The Vault’ that I have never read. It’s a completely different mindset from the previous books I’ve been reading and it took me a bit to get into it but by now I’m completely immersed in this world and loving it once more. | <urn:uuid:6acbdfe4-adf1-4195-87e7-9a8e3a5c3a28> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,183 |

New version of LEED tightens energy uses, mandates monitoring
The new version of the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design tackles questions over whether LEED certification translates to energy savings.
Tighter energy reduction standards and a requirement to monitor and record how much energy a building actually uses are two of the changes that will go into effect June 27.
They come as data emerges casting questions on the effectiveness of LEED in reducing energy use in buildings.
Preliminary findings of a study to be released this summer of 25 LEED certified buildings in Illinois show no correlation between LEED ranking and actual energy savings - the so-called "energy and atmosphere" or EA credits were a better indicator of true energy savings, officials said.
Rachel Scheu, green building research coordinator for Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago, said the research her group and several others are doing in Illinois show that EA credits are a better indicator of actual energy use than overall rankings.
"We don't see a correlation between energy performance and LEED level," she said.
Because the buildings studied have been operating for at least a year, they were under an older version of LEED, Scheu added.
Under the new version, LEED 3.0, owners of LEED-certified buildings will be required for the first time to record energy usage, report it to the USGBC, and have a plan in place to improve energy savings if needed.
LEED 3.0 also tightens the energy savings requirements to 10 percent over the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers standard for 2007 for new buildings, and 5 percent for renovations.
In past versions of LEED, said Dan Jacobs, a principal at A3C Collaborative Architecture in Ann Arbor, high overall ranking levels could be achieved by obtaining points for using certain materials or other aspects of a project.
After reviewing several case studies at the USGBC's Greening the Heartland conference in Detroit earlier this month, Jacobs said the reliance on credits other than EA was unexpected.
"I was surprised that (EA credits) were as low as they were," he said.
The result could be that a Platinum-rated building would use more energy on an ongoing basis than a project ranked lower on the scale.
Brendan Owens, vice president of LEED technical development for the USGBC in Washington, D.C., said the changes are part of the evolution of the standard, and an effort to push the construction industry to new levels of energy savings.
"There's a consensus that the building industry is rapidly changing the way they build buildings, in part because of LEED," he said. "The transformation of the market is something we've been watching and actively part of, and we want to see it continue, so we raised the bar a little."
The energy monitoring piece of LEED is meant to ensure energy savings goals are being met, and to find ways to constantly make the standard more effective, he added.
"USGBC is going to use (the data) to see where the rating system is encouraging what we want to encourage, and where it could improve," Owens said.
Jacobs agreed that tightening the energy requirements is the natural evolution of LEED.
"It's the next progression," Jacobs said. "You have to first capture the attention of mainstream America on how to make building more efficient and sustainable. We're clearly at that point. Now it's time to start to ratchet that responsibility up."

Testimonial: Creating the Environment for Courageous Inclusion
I have been with Lehigh for almost 10 years and in various capacities. I currently serve as Director of Volunteer Engagement within Development and Alumni Relations. This past summer, with COVID forcing us to work differently, coupled with the murder of George Floyd, our department had the ability to assign someone to anti-racist work. Because of my background in community organizing and activism I was chosen, and now half of my role is dedicated to organizing our department, providing learning opportunities, and making resources available for my teammates. I knew that to be effective, I needed to first do some work of my own by tapping into the world of knowledge, expertise, and work already available. I felt encouraged to think about practical applications for the theories of which I was aware. I enrolled in this program as a way to further my learning and perhaps take away the ability to demonstrate theory to practice.
When I took on this new role there was a question about whether a white woman should take on this work. For me, that was exactly who should be doing it. For too long, the burden of anti-racist work has been shouldered by communities of color, and we cannot continue to tax our BIPOC - and in this instance, our Black - community members and expect that we can retraumatize, exhaust, and tokenize those with lived experience. Understanding my role as a white woman was the first step. Finding a program that would allow me to be vulnerable and access that space for myself was the second and I found it with this program.
Dr. Outing is a great teacher, providing an open platform that made people feel very comfortable. There was a lot of vulnerability in this program that I haven’t seen in others. It brought together both the personal and the professional, and that balance is so important in diversity work because you are not working from a place of perfection. The intention is to be lifelong learners, never completely able to eliminate our biases, but be vulnerable enough to recognize them and prevent them from causing or supporting systems that are unsafe and undignified.
The program didn’t feel like other trainings because it was so personal. It helped me to be comfortable enough with myself to share my story and where I have fumbled. Donald and the rest of the cohort modeled and encouraged it. I recently gave a presentation and was able to create a safe and comfortable environment because of that experience.
As professionals in academia we are accustomed to identifying as progressive, thoughtful, and inclusive. I’ve had those moments when I thought, “not me, I’M not racist. “ But it’s not about just saying you are not racist. Understanding diversity and inclusion goes beyond being educated or progressive. You have to explore how you have benefitted from a white supremacist society. To put theory into practice here at Lehigh, as a community member and a white woman, I have a responsibility to examine myself before bringing others along on the lifelong learning continuum. I have to be able to say it out loud. A few years ago I would not have been able to do that. I believed I was doing the right thing and didn’t need a program like this. But my attitude has shifted.
The program gives you an opportunity to lay personal experiences and missteps and biases out, to share the parts of yourself that have a great deal more to learn and how to improve interactions in the future. That was missing from other programs. They were never about me looking at my bias. This is particularly helpful in the development and engagement profession — I needed to do the work internally so I could better relate to constituents, understand identities and experiences, and have fruitful conversations.
Those of us who completed the program are now accustomed to self-examination and being able to communicate that to someone else. My cohort shared stories and experiences, and they helped me to think about my past behavior. That was just as important as the instruction itself. We all got to know each other and became a close-knit group because we shared very personal things that made us stop and think differently. It’s hard to have those honest, vulnerable conversations. But Dr. Outing ensured our comfort as we had them.
One of the biggest takeaways is in how I facilitate trainings. It is not my job to teach. I am here to ensure psychological safety as we dive into these topics. That’s not easy in the age of COVID where everything has to be done virtually. Inclusion is best done in person. But Dr. Outing made us feel so comfortable, and that is something I am now bringing to my team.
Trying to make people feel included is a lifelong learning process. Compassion fatigue is a very real risk, and the work can be lonely. The problems seem unsolvable and the work is not meant to have a conclusion. But you can be part of the network of solutionaries and critical thinkers: compassionate and brilliant professionals who think about how to be even more inclusive, to bring others into the fold, and to provide resources. I need a solid network of people who understand the charge and are passionate about it. That is the real value of this program: it starts with the individual and builds support to continue the work. | <urn:uuid:c9a1408e-9246-46e3-a80a-2e17d2da044b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,343 |
Q: Why would your bear cousin in Alaska follow me around Denali National Park for days? He stayed about 100 yards away from me and never approached, but every where I went, he went. He never bothered with my bear canister, which I placed about 200 feet from my tent, he just sat and watched me the whole time. What’s up with that? Was he a stalker or just lonely?
—Gus and the Hat, via email
A: You leave a lot of open questions, so it’ll be tough to answer about my cousin definitively. But I’ll make a few assumptions: Since this was Denali and you seem concerned, we’ll assume cuz was a grizzly.
Next, we’ll assume you were following proper backcountry procedures. Given that you had a bear canister, kept it far from your tent, and seem comfortable with Denali’s notoriously burly cross-country travel, you seem experienced.
Surprisingly for a place with so many of my kind, Denali ranks pretty low on injurious bear-human incidents, with only 23 since the park’s opening, none fatal. Some people speculate that because the interior bears don’t have access to fish and forage mostly on abundant plants, they don’t hunt as much or aren’t habituated to protein, but there’s little data to back this up, as they have access to caribou and other game.
Since interactions are few and the backcountry is relatively pristine, there’s a decent chance this bear doesn’t associate humans with food. This is backed up by the fact that he chose not to mess with your camp of even try your bear canister.
I’m going to chalk it up to curiosity. We bears are wired to seek out and learn from the anomalies in our environment, and as such are insanely curious. You were a foreign presence, and the bear wanted to know more—but he also knew to play it safe and stay far away. Consider yourself lucky: You got to observe my kind at safe remove for far longer than even some scientists get to.
See? I’m not such a bad hiking buddy—as long as you and know about each other’s presence and stay far, far away from each other.

I’ve been a fan of Alex Anthopoulos’ doings in Toronto, but this one confuses me a bit. Bautista had a fantastic season and would have qualified for free agency at season’s end. Instead, the Jays essentially replace Vernon Wells’ dollars with a lone commitment and an equally risky one at that. There are no early opt-out or buyout opportunities involved here. Even if you just look at when Bautista got playing time and ignore that he couldn’t break into the lineup while playing for some extraordinarily poor teams, here’s what you’ll find:
2006 (469): .261/.326/.755
2007 (614): .269/.331/.753
2008 (424): .256/.311/.718
2009 (404): .272/.339/.757
2010 (683): .331/.422/.995
Bautista is an above average offensive player most years, but not by much. He appears to be a negative on defense, although his flexibility is a nice asset, and this is his 30-year-old season –leaving little doubt he will decline over the length of the deal. A replication of 2010 is highly unlikely, so being an above average player for the duration is the perfect world outcome. More likely? He earns some surplus on the front side and the Jays are ready to get rid of the deal by 2015.
My problem is the length. Only the Jays know how much they can afford on players, and while it’s not ideal to aimlessly overpay any decent player, a two- or three-year deal provides the best of both worlds, allowing the Jays to find out whether Bautista has any magic left in the bat while also providing security in case he returns to mediocrity. Perhaps the Jays have reason to believe he’d be worth even more after this season, but they certainly can’t feel that way with a high degree of confidence.
Either McGee has one or two options remaining –depending on whether the Rays received a fourth option on him— limitng the amount of time he has to develop into a starter. The team’s logjam of starters in the upper minors also allows them to boot maximum reward in favor of minimum risk. Maybe McGee will still get hurt in a relief role with a violent delivery, but throwing fewer pitches limits the probability, if nothing else.
Ostensibly, McGee will start the season in the big league bullpen. Limiting service time on pitchers is a different beast than doing so to positional players. Their aging curves are different and the rate of attrition is higher. I suppose the Rays could avoid Super Two status with McGee relatively easily, but I doubt they wait until gaining an extra year of control before throwing him into the fire. With J.P. Howell supposedly looking at an early May return and McGee sliding into a middle relief or set-up role of his own, the bullpen suddenly looks better in the end-game stages, while the team has amassed enough middle relief options that at least one of them has to work out. What’s funny is how the pen will seemingly make less combined than Rafael Soriano did by his lonesome last season. | <urn:uuid:ed1131cb-7198-4dab-b6e6-a4eaca90fcf6> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,899 |
There are only about 10,000 Google Glass Explorers on the planet right now. Pretty soon that number should quadruple to 40,000 thanks to Google allowing Explorers to each invite 3 friends into the program. And from 40,000 that number may soon skyrocket. Google is now allowing the general public to sign up for a Glass Invite.
Or to clarify… sign up for the opportunity to eventually get a Glass Invite.
Signing up doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get Google Glass but it will definitely give you the best shot at buying Glass early on. The signup page explains that Google is “experimenting with different ways of bringing new Explorers into the program,” and claim they’ll let you know when a spot becomes available.
This is for US residents only who will have two options:
- If a spot opens up, I want to purchase Glass and become an Explorer
- Just keep me informed about the latest Glass news
But you can still show interest in buying Glass even if you choose a different country, which residents in Canada, UK, Australia, and other predominantly English speaking countries may want take advantage of.
This signup sheet mentions nothing of price although we expect any “Explorer” edition Glass to sell for the $1500 rather than a discounted consumer amount. Either way, it’s probably worth taking the chance and submitting your name for selection. | <urn:uuid:6a22e61e-fe0a-4c30-81a7-099c9709e2be> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,349 |

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Police say the fatal shooting of a New Mexico man who reportedly entered a southwestern Pennsylvania home by force may fall under the state’s so-called “castle doctrine” law.
Washington County Coroner Timothy Warco says 32-year-old Ezequiel Jeremy Pando, of Lovington, N.M., was killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest when he tried to enter the Washington, Pa., home about 2:45 a.m. Sunday. Police Lt. Robert Lemons tells the Observer-Reporter newspaper that police had been called to the same home earlier to remove Pando from the residence during a domestic dispute. They believe Pando was shot by a man after Pando kicked in the door to get back in the home.
Police say they haven’t charged the shooter, who is cooperating with investigators.
Gov. Tom Corbett last month signed the castle doctrine bill that allows the right to use a gun or other deadly force in self-defense in situations outside, not just inside, a person’s home or business. | <urn:uuid:dc00e384-ccf4-49a1-b3b6-8464c2b65d15> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 972 |

Article No.1844 Date: 4 May 2015
Uploaded at London time: 8-49 am
(This article was sent for publication in the Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan, Delhi souvenir last year)
(S Swaminathan was a Senior Sub Editor of Dinamani, a Tamil language daily, in Madurai before taking over as the Producer of the BBC Tamil Service in London. Later he started teaching Tamil as a part time tutor at SOAS, University of London)
Tamil epic Silappadikaram (also written as Cilappatikaram) is an encyclopaedia of art and music of the ancient Tamils. Ilango Adikal, author of Silappadikaram, has dealt with almost all the topics under arts and culture of the land. But not many people know that Ilango was equally proficient in the geography and history of India as well. I would like to point out the amazing knowledge of Ilango about the Indian subcontinent. But for his reference to King Gajabahu of Sri Lanka, we wouldn’t have fixed the date of Kovalan and Kannaki. Though the story of Kannaki and Kovalan happened around second century CE, the epic must have been written a few centuries later. The language and style of the poetry in the epic serve as strong pointers in this direction.
The epic runs to 5270 lines and it contains 13,870 words. This is the biggest work closer to the Sangam period. It is worthwhile to compare it with the oldest Tamil work Tolkappiam. Tolkappiam, the Tamil grammar book, runs to nearly 4000 lines with 13,708 words. But again there is some controversy about the dating of Tolkappiam and particularly the third chapter of the grammar book, namely Porul Adhikaram that is considered a later addition by many scholars.
The epic is divided into three Kandams (cantos) on the basis of geographical and political divisions of Tamil country Choza, Pandya and Chera corresponding to Pukar, Madurai and Vanji. These are the capital or major cities of ancient Tamil Nadu. The use of the words Kandam for divisions is copied from Valmiki Ramayana which has seven Kandams(6+1).
We see a very clear shift from the four fold natural divisions of Sangam literature (Kurinji, Mullai, Neithal and Marutham) to a fully fledged city culture in the epic. The graphic description of Pukar(5-6/40) and Madurai streets (Ur Kan Katai) is remarkable. There is no denying the fact cities did exist even during Sangam period. But that was not the main basis of those poems. We see such descriptions in Madurai Kanchi, a Sangam Tamil work. In short we read more about urban culture in the epic than the rural culture of the Sangam literature. The absence of Kurinji, Mullai, Neithal and Marutham in the epic is noteworthy. Ilango mentioned even Ujjain (6-29) and the forests of Vindhya Mountains (6-29) in Madhya Pradesh.
Ilango did not miss the opportunity to describe in detail the two great rivers Kaveri and Vaigai that run through Choza and Pandyan territories. The beautiful descriptions of these rivers are a treat to nature lovers. The River Kaveri has not changed much in the past two thousand years, but Vaigai has lost its beauty. Even in Paripatal, an anthology of Sangam Literature, we see beautiful descriptions of Vaigai.
Picture of Kaveri River where it enters Tamil Nadu from Karnataka
Ode to River Kaveri (kanalvari)
Robed with flowers, swarmed by singing bees, you roam,
Sinuous and fanciful,
Casting dark glances from your swift
And carp like eyes
Your gait and charming looks are the pride
Of your lord, whose virtuous sceptre’s never gone astray
(Another two stanzas are there in the epic)
Vaigai and the city of Madurai are described in the ‘Puranceri Irutha Katai’:-
The Vaigai River, daughter of the sky, wanders ever on the tongues of the poets, who sings the generous gifts she bestows on the land she has blesses. Most cherished possession of the Pandya Kingdom, she resembles a noble and respected maiden. Her dress is woven of all the flowers that fall from the date tree, the Vakulam, the Kino, the white Kadamba, the gamboges, the Tilak, the jasmine, the Myrobalan, the pear tree, the great Champak and the saffron plant. The broad belt she wears low around her hips is adorned with lovely flowers of Kuruku and golden jasmine, mixed with Musundai’s thick lianas, the wild jasmine, he convolvulus, the bamboo, the volubilis, the Pidavam, the Arabian jasmine. The sand banks, edged by trees in blossom, are her youthful breasts. Her red lips are the trees that spread their red petals along the shore her lovely teeth are wild jasmine buds floating in the stream. Her long eyes are the carp, which playing in the water, appear and vanish like a wink. Her tresses are the flowing waters filled with the petals (13-151/174).
Both Kannaki and Kovalan cried out in wonder, “This is not a river but a stream in blossom”.
This beautiful description of River Vaigai is different from River Kavery. This shows his skill and his love of nature.

Holy Mountain and Holy River
Tamils were very familiar with the Himalayas and the River Ganges. We have lot of references to these in the oldest part of Sangam literature such as Purananuru. There is no wonder that Ilango also referred to this mountain and the river in several places in the epic. Sangam poets used Himalayas and Pothiyam Hill in pairs (Puram 2-24), probably an indirect reference to sages of the Himalayas and Sage Agastya who had settled in the Pothiyam Hill from the North. The very concept of taking a stone from the holy Himalayas and bathing it in the holiest of the Indian rivers, Ganges, (Vazthu Katai) show that the ancient Tamils considered the big land mass from the southernmost Kanyakumari to the northernmost Himalayas as one entity that belonged to everyone in the country. Chera King Senguttuvan was praised as the ruler of the land between the Himalayas and Kumari.
Reference to holy shrines such as Venkatam where the most famous Balaji temple is located at present, and Srirangam (11-40/41), is also interesting.
Ilango’s reference to Senguttuvan’s sea expedition to destroy the pirates (23-81) and the foreign intruders are examples of his knowledge about the seas surrounding the peninsular. Marine trade with Rome and the West was flourishing during the first few centuries of our era. Though Silappadikaram is a post Sangam work, the Tamils must have felt very proud of their success in the foreign trade. Yavanas are mentioned in four places in the epic 5-10, 14-67, 28-141 and 29-26. The epic says that Chera king ruled the prosperous land of the Yavanas (28-141 and 29-26), may be the North West region of India. It was under the Indo-Greek kings for few centuries.
Ilango’s knowledge of the seas, rivers, mountains, cities and other spots of natural beauty, is amazing. To make the epic more interesting he had added some interesting details about the caves or underground tunnel routes (Katukan Katai) to Madurai from Alagarkoil, a Vaishnavite shrine near Madurai. As of now we don’t know any such route linking Madurai with Alagarkoil, but in his days probably mountain pass or caves must have existed. Until very recently Alagarkoil hill was very green with thick forests.
In the Venir Katai, he defined the boundaries of Tamil Nadu between Venkatam and the Southern seas. He refers to the semi mythical land Uttarakuru (2-10). Strangely the earliest reference to the River Jamuna and Krishna comes from Sangam Tamil Literature (Aka 59-4) and Ilango refers to it in Aychiyar Kuravai(17-22).
Gajabahu and King of Malava
At the end of the epic he narrates the consecration ceremony attended by Gajabahu, King of Sri Lanka and Kings from Malava (30-157/160). Earlier in the poem he refers to the Satavahanas, who were his friends.

Award Winning Inn
The Forest Lodge is an eighteenth century coaching inn located in the village of Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire. We are a four silver-star accredited inn and are rated under the National Accessible Scheme as level 1. We are listed in the Good Beer Guide and have won numerous awards. We provide excellent food. We have 12 guest bedrooms, five of which are on the ground floor. One of these latter is intended for use by those with limited mobility. For example, the doors are wide enough to allow wheelchair access. In addition, ramps can be provided to help ease this access. However, it should be borne in mind that the Forest Lodge is two hundred and fifty years old and whilst we have made efforts to make the building more suitable for those with limited mobility, it is not comparable to a modern building which can be designed with such considerations in mind.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any queries or require any assistance, please phone (01623) 824443 or email email@example.com
The nearest train station is Mansfield Woodhouse, approximately 6 miles away. Accessible taxis are available in the area. There are also buses that serve Edwinstowe.

Access from the car park into the main public building is up a slight incline and then via large double doors. Internally, there are some grab rails. Ramps can be provided upon request. A member of staff will always be on hand to assist.
The car park surface leading to the main entrance is tarmac with no kerbs.
Bar Area & Restaurant Area
The Forest Lodge has a public bar area and a separate restaurant situated on the ground floor. Meals are served in both areas. There are two steps down in to the bar area and two steps up into the restaurant. Ramps for all of these steps are available upon request. Thereafter there is level access throughout. Hand and grad rails are available next to the steps. Floor surfaces are wooden, stone and carpeted. Seating is mixed: benches, stools, upright chairs with and without arms. Lighting is intimate.

Beer Garden & Outdoor Smoking Area
The Forest Lodge has two separate, small outdoor areas. One is gravelled and requires a step to enter into it; the other is cobbled on a very slight decline and is located under an archway. The former has four tables available with individual chairs without arms; the latter four wooden benches.
Accommodation – Bedrooms
The Forest Lodge has five bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which is more suited to those with limited mobility and any carer that they might have. There is a small step up into this room (200mm).

Accommodation – Bathrooms, Shower-rooms & Toilets (En-suite).
All of our guest bedrooms have en-suite facilities. Two of our bedrooms have both a bath and a shower. However, these rooms are upstairs.

A shower stool can be provided on request, as can two grab rails.
Accommodation – Public Areas
The Forest Lodge is 250 years old and whilst we do what we can to make access for those with disabilities easier, it must be borne in mind that it is an old building! As mentioned above, there are a couple of steps up into our restaurant and two down into the bar. Ramps can be provided to make access easier. Flooring is a mixture of wood, stone and carpet. Lighting is intimate and ambient light is quite limited in certain areas. Corridors are wide (1350mm) and public seating areas quite spacious. There are 13 steps leading up to our first floor bedrooms.
All of our staff are encouraged to be aware of those guests with disabilities and are always on hand to assist when required.
We have a set of evacuation procedures and should you require assistance a member of staff will help you with evacuation either out of the building or to a safe area.

If you've noticed one of your teeth feeling loose, you're right to believe it's not a good thing. Loose permanent teeth are a sign of an underlying problem.
Periodontal (gum) disease is usually the culprit. Caused by bacterial plaque, a thin film of food particles, gum disease causes the tissues that support teeth to weaken and detach. While a tooth can become loose from too much biting force (primary occlusal trauma), it's more likely bone loss from gum disease has caused so much damage that even the forces from normal biting can trigger looseness.
A loose tooth must be treated or you may lose it altogether. If it's from gum disease, your treatment will have two phases.
In the first phase we need to stop the gum infection by removing plaque and calculus (hardened plaque deposits). Hand instruments known as scalers or ultrasonic equipment are usually sufficient for removing plaque and calculus around or just below the gum line. If the plaque extends deeper near or around the roots, we may need to consider surgical techniques to access these deeper deposits.
Once the infection is under control and the tissues have healed, we can then undertake the second phase: reducing biting forces by breaking clenching and grinding habits, doing a bite adjustment for advanced problems and securing loose teeth with splinting.
Although there are different types of splinting — both temporary and permanent — they all link loose teeth to adjacent secure teeth much like pickets in a fence. One way is to bond dental material to the outer enamel of all the teeth involved; a more permanent technique is to cut a small channel extending across all the teeth and bond a rigid metal splint within it.
To reduce biting forces on loose teeth, we might recommend wearing a bite guard to keep the teeth from generating excessive biting forces with each other. We may also recommend orthodontics to create a better bite or reshape the teeth's biting surfaces by grinding away small selected portions of tooth material so they generate less force.
Using the right combination of methods we can repair loose teeth and make them more secure. But time is of the essence: the sooner we begin treatment for a loose tooth, the better the outcome.
If you would like more information on treating loose teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Treatment for Loose Teeth.”

When the multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter and TV personality Jason Derulo was recently asked about his ideal woman, his answer covered a remarkably broad spectrum. "There’s no specific thing," he said, "so I think it’s unfair to say what my ‘type’ is." But it turns out that there is one thing the So You Think You Can Dance judge considers essential: A beautiful smile.
"I’m not into messy teeth," Derulo said. "If the grill has spaces and different colors, it’s not my vibe."
As it turns out, he may be on to something: A number of surveys have indicated that a bright, healthy smile is often the first thing people notice when meeting someone new. Yet many are reluctant to open up that big grin because they aren’t satisfied with the way their teeth look. If you’re one of them, consider this: Modern cosmetic dentistry offers a variety of ways to improve your smile — and it may be easier and more affordable than you think.
For example, if your smile isn’t as bright as you would like it to be, teeth whitening is an effective and economical way to lighten it up. If you opt for in-office treatments, you can expect a lightening effect of up to 10 shades in a single one-hour treatment! Or, you can achieve the same effect in a week or two with a take-home kit we can custom-make for you. Either way, you’ll be safe and comfortable being treated under the supervision of a dental professional — and the results can be expected to last for up to two years, or perhaps more.
If your teeth have minor spacing irregularities, small chips or cracks, it may be possible to repair them in a single office visit via cosmetic bonding. In this process, a liquid composite resin is applied to the teeth and cured (hardened) with a special light. This high-tech material, which comes in colors to match your teeth, can be built up in layers and shaped with dental instruments to create a pleasing, natural effect.
If your smile needs more than just a touch-up, dental veneers may be the answer. These wafer-thin coverings, placed right on top of your natural teeth, can be made in a variety of shapes and colors — from a natural pearly luster to a brilliant "Hollywood white." Custom-made veneers typically involve the removal of a few millimeters of tooth enamel, making them a permanent — and irreversible — treatment. However, by making teeth look more even, closing up spaces and providing dazzling whiteness, veneers just might give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

John Gould Rubin directs the limited, ten-performance engagement, which plays Thursdays-Mondays at the W. 44th St. venue.
Burstyn is joined on stage by Actors Studio members Robert Adrian, Patrik Baldauff, Lash Dooley, Gabriel Furman, Gabriel Fazio, Beau Gravitte, Timothy Doyle, Sam Hamill, Conn Horgan, Joe Maruzzo, Mihaela Mihut, Sarah Anne Miles, Evgeniya Radilova and Dena Tyler.
Burstyn, who serves as co-president and artistic director of The Actors Studio, said in a previous statement: “When The Cherry Orchard was first performed at the Moscow Art Theater, the director Stanislavsky called it a ‘great tragedy.’ Chekhov insisted it was a ‘comedy.’ The Actors Studio finds it is both. We look forward to sharing our vision of this great classic work with the supporters of The Actors Studio.”
This production features scenic and costume design by Andreea Mincic, lighting by Isabella Byrd, sound by Iggy Hung, choreography by Katherine Crockett and musical compositions by Andrea Fratto. Additional company members include production manager Libby Jensen, production stage manager Catherine Beckett, stage managers Emily Ballou and Katy Moore, prop manager Liana Jackson, and technical interns Anita Clay, James Lentini and Paul Lehrman.
Founded in 1947 by Elia Kazan and Lee Strasberg, The Actors Studio, according to press notes, "continues to dedicate its efforts to the service and development of theatre artists—actors, directors and playwrights—through programs that facilitate a safe haven for the creation of new works and the exploration and nurturing of the artist’s craft."
Performances are free to the public and require reservations made through email@example.com. | <urn:uuid:d25734b2-8824-463e-b2d7-2608995ad736> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,686 |
'Hikikomori' disorder could complicate Japan quake recovery
As the crisis due to the radiation leak, earthquakes, and tsunami in Japan deepens and the problems with displacement of Japanese citizens increases, the psychiatric phenomenon in Japan known as “hikikomori” could cause a unique concern for the country’ s relief and restoration efforts.
In the early 1990s, this extreme form of social withdrawal was identified in Japan, where young people would seclude themselves in their homes for months or even years at a time. Researchers initially estimated over a million people in Japan had been experiencing this withdrawal, leading to the phrase in the media “ the missing million.”
“Hikikomori” commonly have symptoms of depression, anxiety, and unusual sleep patterns. Japan’ s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare created a definition of “hikikomori” that included the following:
1. The person does not take part in society and remains at home.
2. The person does not take part in or have interest in going to school or work.
3. The person does not have any close relationships other than with family.
4. The withdrawal is not a symptom of a psychotic disorder.
5. These symptoms persist for at least six months.
This definition includes complete home isolation, however for the most part, psychiatrists and researchers I spoke with in Japan typically used a more broad conception of isolation to include people who can leave their home but are not gainfully employed or have any close relationships.
“Hikikomori” I met in Japan would often stay awake all night using the Internet, playing computer games, or watching TV and sleep throughout the day. Patients would use social media to communicate, but did not engage in a great deal of face-to-face interactions with others. When I saw patients who were “hikikomori,” they usually only sought help when they were unable to maintain their isolation, either because their parents were ill or passed away or the family finances changed and they could no longer afford to support the isolated family member.
“Hikikomori” has almost exclusively been identified in Japan, although some researchers believe it is a worldwide phenomenon. The recent crises in Japan could result in many “hikikomori” asking for help for the first time, this in addition to the undoubtedly tens of thousands of people already at high risk of trauma related psychiatric disorders due to trauma resulting from the death, medical illness, loss of housing and forcible displacement caused by the tsunami, radiation leak in Fukushima Prefecture, and the recent earthquakes.
The change in the job market has been a factor often pointed to as a cause of “hikikomori.” Before 1990, it was generally understood that a person in Japan would complete school, interview once with one company, then stay with that same company until retirement. After the stock market crash in 1990, this situation changed dramatically.
Lifetime employment at one company is no longer guaranteed, young people interview at several organizations and do not secure employment immediately after graduation. The issue that occurs is that many young people are reacting as if this is cause for shame and guilt and if the family has the means, these feelings can lead to people becoming “hikikomori” or exacerbate more mild forms of social isolation.
New psychiatric disorders are not quickly acknowledged by the psychiatric community. Often there is a great deal of skepticism, especially if there is a lack of a robust body of clinical research as is the case with “hikikomori.” However, people suffered for generations before disorders like post-partum depression and seasonal affective disorder were formally recognized by psychiatric organizations.
Whether it is called extreme social isolation or “hikikomori,” this phenomenon, in my opinion, will be a very relevant variable in any sustained outreach or relief effort for the Japanese people in the coming months and years. It is likely that there will be an incredibly high need for psychiatric services in the aftermath of the earthquakes, tsunami, and radiation leak due to “hikikomori.”

Toxoplasmosis: Symptoms and Treatment
Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by TORCH infection. This disease is very dangerous during pregnancy, since infections can be transmitted in utero. Symptoms of toxoplasmosis can be very diverse: fever, fatigue, rashes on the body, chills and others.
Causes of the appearance of an illness
The infection with toxoplasmosis in humans can occur from pets, usually from cats. It is extremely dangerous for women to be infected at the moment of bearing a child, so they should not be in contact with cats.
You can buy the disease by eating meat products, eggs from infected animals that did not undergo the necessary heat treatment. Toxoplasmosis can penetrate human blood through damaged skin or transmitted by bloodsucking insects. There are also cases of intrauterine infection.
The main factors for the onset of toxoplasmosis are:
- Touching dirty hands with the mouth after contacting the ground, after cleaning the cat’s toilet.
- Eating raw or not-cooked meat (pork, venison or lamb meat) in food
- Touching your mouth after contacting raw or unprocessed meat
- Blood transfusion or organ transplant
Signs and symptoms of the disease
According to the clinical manifestation in medicine, the disease is divided into acute, chronic and latent forms. In most cases, people have toxoplasmosis in a chronic or latent form, with no symptoms. The acute form of acquired toxoplasmosis is very rare, only in 0.3% of patients. It should be understood that the acute form of toxoplasmosis, characterized by vivid manifestations, in most cases affects people with very weak immunity. As a rule, these people are in control; Other diseases that sharply reduce immunity. These diseases include: HIV infection, a variety of oncological and viral diseases.
On the course of the disease can affect and transferred chemotherapy and organ transplantation, because these procedures dramatically reduce the human immunity. In such situations, not only the acute course of the acquired infection, but also the aggravation of the old one can be observed. Under normal operation of the immune system, the human body very quickly produces antibodies to toxoplasmosis, and also creates lifelong immunity to the disease.
Symptoms of toxoplasmosis are characterized by their diversity. Although toxoplasmosis is one of the most common diseases, it is difficult to determine a clear symptomatology of the disease. The reason is that toxoplasma with blood spread into the human body is spread all over the body and affects the organs. In this situation, the symptoms of toxoplasmosis depend on which organ was affected by the infection. Also, the signs of the disease can differ significantly when there is congenital or acquired toxoplasmosis.
Symptoms of congenital toxoplasmosis
Congenital toxoplasmosis in most cases is very difficult. In the generalized course of the acute phase of congenital toxoplasmosis, damage is inflicted on all organs and systems, therefore symptoms of a common body damage appear. Congenital toxoplasmosis has the following symptoms:
- Increase in temperature;
- Occurrence of chills, lethargy
- Jaundice may occur;
- Liver and spleen enlargement
- The appearance of a rash
- Decreased muscle tone
When the flow of inflammatory processes caused by toxoplasmosis affects not all organs at the same time, but inflicts damage only on individual systems of the body, the signs of toxoplasmosis are as follows:
- hydrocephalus, or dropsy of the brain
- Visual impairment
Symptoms of acquired toxoplasmosis
If we talk about acquired acute toxoplasmosis, then its signs can also be different. In most cases, acute acquired toxoplasmosis develops gradually after the incubation period. It lasts from 5 to 23 days. Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in acute acquired form are as follows:
- Increased temperature;
- Decreased performance
- Chills, weakness
- A minor headache;
- Joint and muscle pain
- Enlarged cervical lymph nodes;
- Supraclavicular, axillary, inguinal or subclavian lymph nodes rarely increase;
- Increase baking in size
- Development of pneumonia
- Defeat of the brain;
- Affection of the inner shell of the heart
- Inflammatory process in the retina and choroid of the eye.
Acquired chronic toxoplasmosis begins to appear after 2-3 weeks after infection. This form of toxoplasmosis is considered the most common. It can latent or with minor signs flow in patients for many years. Symptoms of chronic toxoplasmosis are presented in the form:
- a slight increase in temperature;
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- lesions of the central nervous system
- memory impairment
- low interest in the environment
- sleep and appetite disorders;
- the emergence of various fears and obsessions.
Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in children
It should be noted immediately that if a small amount of toxoplasmosis enters the body in a child, its immune system is able to cope with parasites on its own, they become covered and become harmless. Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in children are usually erased, complications are extremely rare.
Totally different toxoxplasmosis occurs in children in acute form. There are the following symptoms of toxoplasmosis in children:
- temperature increase;
- disruption of the liver and spleen, resulting in the occurrence of jaundice
- general weakness, fever, drowsiness;
- rash appearance
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- visual impairment
Symptoms of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women
Toxoplasmosis in pregnancy is a great danger to the fetus. After all, the infection can be transmitted in utero. In pregnant women, the symptoms of toxoplasmosis are as follows:
- feeling tired;
- temperature increase;
- enlarged lymph nodes
- joint and muscle pain.
In the event that the symptoms appear, the pregnant woman should immediately seek help from a doctor. Taking into account the results of the tests, specialists either prescribe treatment, or recommend the termination of pregnancy.
Diagnosis of the disease is a thorough clinical examination of the patient’s body. For these purposes, serological tests are performed and allergens are taken. The serological study includes:
- Compliment linking reaction
- passive hemagglutination
- indirect immunofluorescence
- intradermal tests with toxoplasmin
In addition, the clinical and bacteriological analysis of the blood for toxoplasmosis is mandatory.
Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis necessarily involves examination of the fundus in the office of an ophthalmologist. A mandatory method of diagnosis is the radiography of the skull of the head and muscles, an electrocardiogram.
Treatment of toxoplasmosis is mandatory in a steady state. Patients prescribed the following drugs: sulfonamides in combination with pyrimethamine and chloride, as well as prescribe medications tetracycline group, antiallergic drugs, vitamin complexes.
The need for therapy and the choice of medication for treatment can only be determined by a doctor. Therapeutic measures to eliminate toxoplasmosis are not carried out by everyone. This should be done only in the case of severe signs of illness in children and weakened adults.
It is extremely rare to cure chronic toxoplasmosis. Here, in addition to antibacterial drugs use medicines that strengthen immunity. In the case of primary toxoplasmosis in early pregnancy, a woman is recommended to have an abortion.
To avoid this ailment, you must follow simple rules:
- Pregnant women need to limit contact with land and other objects where feces of cats can be observed.
- Home cats do not need to feed raw meat and rodents to avoid infection.
- Carry out the necessary heat treatment of meat, wash fruits and vegetables, as well as kitchen surfaces after contacting meat, fruits and vegetables.
Toxoplasmosis & ndash; An unpleasant and dangerous disease that arises from the penetration of infection into the body. Such a disease requires free treatment to eliminate the unpleasant and painful manifestations of the disease as soon as possible. | <urn:uuid:22c92539-9544-463b-8fa8-49d3462ca711> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 7,962 |

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Dieting with calorie restriction does not cause significant bone loss in young, overweight adults, provided adequate amounts of calcium and other nutrients are maintained, according to a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine for September 22.
“Our data do not support the notion that extreme weight loss (more than 10%) over short periods (3 months) has a worse prognosis on bone health than gradual weight loss achieved over 6 months by moderate calorie restriction with or without aerobic exercise,” Dr. Leanne M. Redman, from Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and colleagues conclude.
The results are based on a study of 46 subjects (average age 37 years) who were randomized to one of four diet groups: healthy diet (control); 25% calorie restriction from baseline energy requirements; 25% energy deficit through calorie restriction plus increased aerobic exercise; and low-calorie diet (890 kcal/day; goal, 15% weight loss) followed by weight maintenance.
The average loss of body weight ranged from 1.0% with the healthy diet to 13.9% with the low-calorie diet. With the calorie restriction diet, the average loss was 10.4%, and with the calorie restriction with aerobic exercise, it was 10.0%.
Compared with the healthy diet, none of the other diets were associated with significant changes in overall or hip bone mineral density. Bone resorption markers, however, were increased with the intervention diets relative to the healthy diet. Bone formation markers were decreased in the calorie restriction group, but were unchanged in the other groups.
“We speculate that in young individuals undergoing calorie restriction, minor adjustments in bone occur as a normal physiological adaptation to the reduced body mass. Further studies of longer duration are warranted and should include an assessment of bone architecture to ensure that bone quality is preserved with weight loss,” the authors conclude.

The search marketing landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Gone are the days of a walled garden between a company’s organic and paid search programs and the rest of its online marketing strategy. Now, there is a recognition by marketers that search, like any form of marketing, must be engaged in a holistic and interconnected manner. It must create measurable results that tie into the whole of a company’s marketing campaign, rather than being off in its own universe.
As addressed in a recent report published by MediaWhiz, a performance media company, search marketing means a lot more than it used to. Whereas in the past, Google largely ruled the search marketing roost, newer powerhouses like Facebook, Twitter and other social networks are grabbing search marketers’ attention.
What should modern search marketers make of this upheaval? What do all of these changes portend for the future of search marketing? More importantly, how can marketers can ahead of these changes and tap into the latest search marketing trends that will help them engage, acquire and retain customers more profitably?
Here are five trends that will help you make sense of these significant changes in search marketing.
- Search is not just for online retailers; it’s for everyone. Online searches influence offline purchases. Forrester Research estimates that more than $1.1 trillion of retail sales in 2011 were “Web influenced” versus $173 billion of actual online sales. This is especially true for considered purchases such as autos, financial services, education, furniture, and etc. For example, JD Power estimates 90 percent of potential car purchasers research their purchase online before going to a dealer.
- Search means more than Google. It is important to diversify your company’s paid search (PPC) efforts. Google attracts the majority of paid searc, but Bing and Yahoo are gaining share. Similarly, Facebook appears intent on charging into the search market, but search audiences at Bing and Yahoo differ from Google. In 2012, click-through rates for small and medium sized businesses grew 109 percent for Bing, 123 percent for Yahoo, but only 32 percent for Google. As Facebook emerges, targeting and response rates will likely vary from the other providers. Search success will require the ability to manage all four platforms successfully.
- Local and mobile search will explode. Local results are increasingly dominating search results pages. Businesses must maintain local registrations with the search engines to ensure presence in local search results, maps and geo-location queries. Segmenting customers through geo-targeting with paid search also helps focus the right ads to the right customers. Use of mobile devices to conduct searches is exploding. Search on Android devices grew 300 percent in the first half of 2012. Like registering your locations, configuring your website for mobile compatibility is paramount.
- Integrated paid search and SEO programs boost overall search performance. Vanessa Fox, creator of Google’s Webmaster Central and author of “Marketing in the Age of Google,” tells of several studies where click through rates, conversion rates and revenue are all higher when organic and paid listings appear together for a given search. Advertisers must coordinate their SEM (paid) and SEO (organic) efforts. For example, they should have a common keyword portfolio to ensure optimal search marketing results.
- Getting search right means getting social right. It remains unclear whether Google or Facebook will win the race to assimilate the precision of social influence with the power of consumer intent in the search experience. It is crystal clear that this integration is on the way. Having a well-designed social media strategy, one that anticipates the impact that corporate social initiatives will have on search marketing efforts, is essential. Moreover, taking advantage of the hyper-targeted ad opportunities available through Facebook and other social venues to tap new customer segments will prepare a business to maximize the effectiveness of these converging audiences.

Mostafa Metwalli is a participant in the entrepreneurs programme on Al-Nahar TV titled El Mashrou3. His project is called “Beyond More” and is concerned with education. As an Alexandria University graduate and candidate for a master’s degree in the UK, he was shocked to find that his education is equal to that of an 18-year old British high school student. The situation incentivised Metwalli to start a project to develop education by updating Egyptian syllabuses to reduce the gap between Egypt and developed countries.
Metwalli told Al-Borsa that his project intends to change society’s concept of education. The project seeks to change students’ evaluation techniques and expand the role of society in developing school syllabuses to be more relevant. Metwalli added that he is focusing on mathematics and sciences in the student educational centre, and noted the project will create an online database to serve Egyptian students nationwide.
Metwalli and his 15-member team surveyed other educational systems in developed countries. “We discovered that the standard educational quality depends on its relevance to the students’ day-to-day life. Hence, we decided to implement the same idea in our project,” he said. “The mathematics and science syllabuses will be the first to be developed.”
Professor Gillian Ali from Arizona University is assisting the team in developing the syllabuses, while Haitham Hosny, a psychologist, Malak Kabany, a professor specialising in developing syllabuses, and Ayah El-Deghidy, an expert in career guidance, are all members of the Egyptian team.
“The syllabuses prepared emphasise the importance of education and knowledge for students. The first syllabus focuses on mathematics and its link to the Pharaonic civilization, while the second focuses on architectural activities and their relationship to ancient Alexandria,” Metwalli said.
He added: “We will assist and guide the children towards education, research and discovery. The teacher’s role in the future is to act as a guide only.” The team depends principally on summer camps for preparatory students, where it is to present its educational model and evaluate its success.
The project requires funding of EGP 700,000 during its first year in order to create the website and provide the requirements of the summer camps. For the following years, the project’s financial needs will not exceed EGP 250,000 per annum.
According to Metwalli, the team will begin the first educational camp for preparatory school students next June in Abu-Kir in Alexandria. The camp is a result of the team’s cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and UNICEF. The ministry contributed EGP 25,000; however, the camp requires EGP 70,000 to provide the residence, equipment, and field visits that are essential for the camp meeting its objectives. The camp aims to create a network of students interested in mathematics and sciences nationwide, which would prove beneficial to them by linking them to experts in the field.
The project targets 3,000 students from the primary and preparatory levels in the annual summer camps. The plan is to operate five camps per year; however, for the first year, there will be only one.
The project seeks to expand the idea to reach secondary schools, which will be targeted through a new programme presented on the website. The programme will also link the students to the labour market, helping them analyse the market’s needs, its available opportunities and the job requirements.
Metwalli added: “Creating the website to inaugurate the educational programme for secondary schools will require EGP 100,000. The website will include all applications that motivate a student towards research.”
Similarly to most entrepreneurs and owners of small enterprises, Metwalli cannot fund his dream. He said: “I addressed all banks, entrepreneurs and NGOs without any replies. Thus, I requested assistance from the Jordanian ‘OASIS 500’ and Emirati ‘Afkar’ for entrepreneurs. The first company’s insistence on checking the website before funding suspended negotiations. In the meantime, the Emirati Company promised to give us a reply by the end of January.”
He added: “We are addressing other funding authorities, such as the Qatari “Saltek”, in addition to communications companies to undertake the needed educational programme website. I have spent EGP 10,000 from my own savings and I cannot afford to spend any more money on the project.”
According to Metwalli, when he proposed his project to the authorities in the Ministry of Education, they said: “Do not exert effort; we had a similar project and it failed.” | <urn:uuid:e064697a-c52c-45f4-91e5-4a54c46836cf> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,622 |

WIKA Instruments Ltd. - PRODUCT NEWS
Electronic pressure switch with flush diaphragm
For industrial processes with "critical" media, WIKA has expanded its range of electronic pressure switches with a new model: the PSD-31 with flush diaphragm.
The instrument is particularly suited for application in abrasive, aggressive, adhesive, crystalline and viscous media. Its flush connection eliminates any clogging of the pressure channel with particles and also prevents possible contamination of the process.
Technically, the new pressure switch is the same as the highly-functional and award-winning PSD-30. Due to its small size and the ability to rotate both the display and connection, it is particularly flexible for mounting. Its simple menu structure (in accordance with the VDMA standard) enables quick and easy operation, while a large LED display provides excellent readability. The switch is available in several country-specific versions, for use worldwide. Its quality and safety are documented by its cULus listing.

There’s a popular idea, supported by a few studies and lots of media stories, that cats can give people infections that cause serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, major depression and even suicidal behavior.
You can relax now.
The latest study, the most comprehensive one to date, took a long, careful look at those associations and found no evidence that cats are a threat to our mental well-being.
But there are a few other risks that you should know about that relate to living with our feline friends.
THE KITTY LITTER CONNECTION
Cats, especially those that go outside or eat raw meat, often carry toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by a parasite. It’s present in their feces and can infect people—when they change kitty litter, for example.
In mice, the infection appears to affect behavior—making them less afraid of cats, which helps the parasite, since it needs to get into cats to complete its life cycle. (When a cat eats an unprotesting infected mouse, the parasite is home free.) Along the way, there have been statistical suggestions that toxoplasmosis may affect human emotional health, too—negatively. But these studies have been small.
To get a more scientifically reliable answer, researchers in New Zealand analyzed data from 800 people who had been followed for nearly 40 years, literally from the day they were born. Over the years, the participants had blood tests and many assessments looking at psychiatric disorders, personality traits, cognitive performance and indicators of poor impulse control (a risk factor for suicide). Blood tests showed that 28% had been infected with toxoplasmosis, and their data was compared with data from others who had never been infected.
Results? There were no statistically significant links between toxoplasmosis infection and any of the markers for behavioral illness.
Is this the final word on the subject? Like all studies, this one will be stronger if other studies confirm it. But this new, large-scale, long-term statistical analysis goes a long way toward reassuring us that the “cats are driving humans crazy” worry is, at the least, exaggerated.
What about other worries?
THE REAL CAT DANGERS
Even though your cat isn’t likely to drive you crazy—at least in the clinical sense—it still makes sense to take precautions against toxoplasmosis. While about 16% of Americans have been infected, usually with no symptoms, in rare cases it can cause serious eye problems. Of greater concern is the effect on pregnant women. Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to the fetus during the pregnancy, and babies can end up blind or with neurological complications.
So it’s prudent for cat owners to wear gloves when changing kitty litter or to wash their hands immediately afterward. Since toxoplasmosis can also linger in meat and in soil, it’s a good idea for everyone to avoid raw or undercooked meat, and, after gardening with bare hands, wash them.
Cats can harm you in other ways, too—they transmit pathogenic bacteria through their claws and saliva, and they can bring fleas into your home, among other dangers.

Tools to help you to create pixel art.
Anything that lets you place squares on a grid is a potential pixel editor. Adobe Photoshop, for instance, has all of the basic functions you need to make pixel images and Adobe Illustrator lets you align your work on a pixel grid to get the granular control you need for good-looking retro images.
Regardless of the programme you use, you’ll spend a lot of time with the Pencil and Line tools. Pixel artists do use Fill and Brush tools in their craft, but deliberately and sparingly — a single pixel can make all the difference. Being able to move those deliberately and easily is key when it comes to your software choice.
Make sure to avoid saving your pixel art as a JPG. PNG or GIF files are best. It’s a common file type and often a default, but the compression that JPG applies can compromise the quality of pixel art and disrupt the pixel-by-pixel work of the artist.
Making a career as a pixel artist.
Pixel art has a thriving online community. Communities like Behance allow artists to share their work and portfolios to get their work in front of potential employers. Drawing classics like Kirby, Pokémon or Pac Man is always fun, but social media accounts like Pixel Dailies encourage artists to create work based on a theme, like breakfast, epic hero, zombie outbreak or relaxation. A little inspiration can be just what you need to start making pixel art.
There is a demand for pixel art, but it tends to be fairly niche. Most of it comes from the video game industry. Plenty of modern video games like Shovel Knight and Enter the Gungeon emulate NES-style graphics, despite being designed for modern consoles and PCs. | <urn:uuid:3764a757-496c-45c1-b7b3-ba8a6910cc6d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,671 |
The Brief: An artist's concept piece about manspreading has sparked significant backlash online from upset men.
What Is Manspreading?
Manspreading is a term for when a man takes up an unnecessary amount of space in public, often making it so people near him have significantly less space. The term usually refers to manspreading that occurs on public transportation.
Anti-Manspreading Chair Wins Award
Laila Laurel, an art and design student at the University of Brighton in the UK recently won an award: the Belmond Award from New Designers in London for her chair designed to prevent manspreading. The idea behind this project: “A Solution To Man-Spreading” is that the anti-manspreading chair would force men to sit with their legs together and its counterpart designed for women would allow them to experience spreading out.
Inspired by The Everyday Sexism Project, Laila Laurel’s chair designs explore the concept of manspreading and the role design can play in how people occupy spaces. In her artist statement, Laurel specifically notes that the project is not meant as a completely serious design to be implemented IRL:
“While my technical investigation is not necessarily intended to be serious or hard-hitting, I think these chairs do give a physicality to an issue women face in quite a fun yet literal way which is my overall main objective in this project.”
Laila’s bold, purpose-driven design stood out to our judging panel as it explores the important role of design in informing space, a person’s behaviour and societal issues of today#TheArtOfBelmond #ND19 #NewDesigners pic.twitter.com/DVnFqtiEBh
— Belmond (@belmond) July 16, 2019
Since several articles have been published about Laurel’s design, she has faced significant backlash online: in the form of both public posts and private messages. Much of this trolling and outcry comes from men who see this project as an attack on their entire gender.
While some comments merely express disagreement with the concept, many go much further, calling the designer a “man-hating feminist” and worse.
Men losing their damn minds over a concept chair is really something. https://t.co/oQyYPXhs3d
— andi zeisler (@andizeisler) July 19, 2019
Many tweets seem to ignore the fact that this chair is a conceptual project, a commentary about manspreading, rather than a piece of furniture to be manufactured and sold. As with many angry internet commenters, it seems that few have actually read beyond these articles’ headlines before sharing their opinions and hate.
Some men have taken this as an opportunity to defend manspreading, explaining that their anatomy makes it so they must sit with their legs spread out, thus taking up more space than women do.
@LailaLaurel I saw your anti man spreading chair. I can’t believe you got an award for it. Have you ever taken a biology class? Men have equipment down there, it’s physically uncomfortable/painful to sit with closed legs. I doubt you’ve ever had a guy friend
— James L. Mayle (@JamesLMayle1) July 18, 2019
Other men have argued that the amount of space that women sometimes take up by putting their bag next to them is an unfair form of “womanspreading.”

Every child steps in to help clean up at the center especially if that means reducing their chances of getting malaria.
Angelina skips down the street, the broom in her hand stirring up a cloud of dust behind her.
As she nears the Aboma Presby Child Development Center (GH-403), other children join her.
Some hold shovels while others push rusty wheelbarrows.
At the center, Angelina stretches her arms high above her head, sweeping her broom across the gutters along the front of the building.
Another child scoops up clumps of mud and leaves, tossing them into a bucket.
The children work efficiently for they know when they are finished, they will have more than a clean school yard.
They will have reduced their chances of getting malaria by cleaning up areas where the disease-carrying mosquitoes thrive.
Thanks to the support of Compassion's Malaria Intervention program, the children have learned how to help prevent the disease and that they can get treatment an option few families can afford.
MALARIA PREYS ON POOR
Every year, more than 3.5 million people contract malaria in Ghana. According to UNICEF, more than 20,000 children in this country die every year of this preventable, treatable disease.
Angelina, 9, once had it.
"When I had malaria, I felt very sick," Angelina says. "I could not eat my food, my body was very hot, and my head was aching. I could not go to school or church."
Families in poverty are the most susceptible to malaria. "This is due to a number of factors," explains Rose Nyarko-Dokyi, health specialist for Compassion Ghana.
"Most of these people live in very bad houses without properly fitting doors or windows. That allows the mosquitoes to come in, and those carry the parasite that causes malaria. They also have puddles of stagnant water around their homes where
the bugs will breed and increase."
PREVENTION IN ACTION
To educate children and parents about preventing malaria, the center workers schedule regular workdays at the church where Compassion's child development program activities take place.
Children bring their tools and clean murky water out of gutters and fill in puddles with dirt. Then they go home and clean the tiny, dusty yards around their houses, teaching their parents how to destroy mosquito breeding grounds.
"At home, I show my family how to keep things clean," says Angelina. "I make sure every night that we don't have any water in containers outside so the mosquitoes can't live there."
Just as poverty aids in the spread of malaria, it's as much an obstacle to treatment. Before Angelina was registered at the center, her parents could not afford to take her to a doctor.
When she was delirious with fever, all her mother could do was helplessly dab her burning face with a cool cloth.
"Many of the parents do not even know what to do when their child has a temperature," says Jemima Odotei, a social worker at Angelina's center.
"There was a day a mother came running to our office carrying her son. The boy was so hot to the touch. We quickly gave him first aid and rushed him to the hospital. He could have easily died because his mother didn't know what to do."
Thanks to Compassion's Malaria Intervention program, Angelina's mother, along with hundreds of other parents, now have valuable tools to prevent and treat the disease.
A bright blue mosquito net is draped over Angelina's bed. And if the girl does get sick, her mother can take her to the hospital through the support of her sponsor and the Malaria Intervention fund.
With all of the education and resources we have been able to offer, we have seen a marked change in the lives of our children," says Rose, the Ghana Health Specialist.
"Malaria is a very powerful killer here in our country. But the work we are doing with parents and children is changing that."

Google Drive is Google's challenge to Dropbox--a file storage system linked to your Google account and accessible via the Internet, so you can access your files from almost any device on-the-go. Drive is currently available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Android; it will be launched for iPad and iPhone shortly. Users are given 5 gigabytes (5GB) of free cloud storage to start; additional storage can be purchased for a small fee. Read this article to learn how to get started using Google Drive.
Setting Up Google Drive
Sign into Google Drive with your Google account at http://drive.google.com. If you're a Gmail user, you can use your Gmail account to sign in. There's a red sign-up button on the top right-hand corner of the login page if you don't have a Google account.
Once you've launched Google Drive in your web browser, you will be taken to a page that shows all of the Google Documents you currently have associated with your Google account. A tab will pop up asking if you would like to download Google Drive for PC or Mac--whichever system you are currently on. Do so if you'd like to access your documents from more than your web browser. However, you don't have to use this option.
Using Google Drive from a Web Browser
Create a new file by clicking on Create on the left-hand-side of your screen. This is an extension of Google Docs.
Create a new folder by clicking on the gray folder icon above your list of Google Drive files. (It's diagonal from the "Create" button.)
Upload files from your computer clicking on the Upload icon (located to the right of the "Create" button). This will upload file(s) and/or folder(s) to Google's servers and will enable you to share them with various people of your choice. Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all files private; for this option, you don't need to do anything other than create the document, since sharing is something you must activate for each file.
Using the navigation bar on the left, view the files that people have shared with you, the files that have been starred by you, recent files and more options.
The files that you have already uploaded to Google servers can be viewed in the center of the screen. The screen will show you many details, including its owner, its last modification, whether it has been shared with others, and file titles.
When you check the box next to files, a menu will pop up allowing you to share, organize, delete, mark as (un)viewed, download, etc., for the selected files. This is where you can add a file to a folder, by clicking on the square box next to the relevant file, then clicking on the folder icon in the menu. A drop-down menu will appear of all your folders, and you can check the relevant folder.
Clicking on the star next to a file will quickly allow you to star it––it will turn from clear to yellow. The benefit of stars is that the starred folders can all be viewed at once by clicking on the "Starred" heading in the navigation bar of Google Drive, hiding all unstarred
The navigation bar also allows you to see your files by "Activity", which brings the most recently edited files to the top of the list, whether worked on by you or by people you're sharing with.
To see all of your files and folders, click on "My Drive". This can be fairly daunting to search through if you have lots though! It's a good idea to place related files into folders as you go, to make searching easier.
On the right side, there's a horizontal menu bar at the top that will allow you to adjust your Google Drive settings. Many of them are accessible via the button with the wrench icon.
You can click "Sort" to change how your files are sorted (by title, last modified, last edited by me, last opened by me, etc.).
You can switch between "List" mode--where files are listed by name and information -- and "Grid" mode--where files are organized by thumbnail screenshots.
You've now walked through the basics of how to use Google Drive.

Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia and also the most common cause of dementia. Dementia refers to a number of symptoms that include loss of memory (especially short-term memory) as well as problems with the use of language. Further symptoms include difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language.
The disease is caused by a build-up of proteins in the brain. ‘Plaques’ and nerve ‘tangles’ are formed and these impact on the connections between nerve cells in the brain, eventually causing the death of some of these cells.
Brain function is also dependent on chemical transmitters and some these also become depleted in Alzheimer’s Disease.
Alzheimer’s Disease typically has a gradual progression and it is often difficult to determine exactly when the illness started.
A further characteristic of Alzheimer’s Disease is that it is a disease of the elderly. It is relatively rare below the age of 60, and becomes progressively more common as age increases.

The pension crisis is bearing down hard on the City of Jacksonville, much like a Category 3 storm that has the potential for increasing wind speed. With a current unfunded liability in excess of $1 billion, the problem has now become an issue so large our elected officials can no longer ignore it.
The City Council formed a Special Pension Committee to make recommendations as to actions the City can take to deal with the deepening issue. Their report, which was due to the Council President on June 2, has been pushed back to June 30. This extension will coincide with the incoming Council Presidency of Richard Clark, at which point he will have the option to determine whether or not the committee should continue if they have not yet finished up their report.
Not surprisingly, Jacksonville is not alone. A website entitled The Pension Tsunami gives daily headlines of cities and states dealing with pension problems from around the country. Different governments are dealing with the problems in different ways. One Florida city, Pensacola, made the decision to move all of their general employees to the Florida Retirement System. This change, which went into effect on June 18, 2007, resulted in a reduction in city contributions from 50% to 9.85% for the regular class employees who are now part of the FRS.
While the FRS may be an option for Jacksonville’s general employees as well, we do not have the option of folding the police and fireman’s pension funds in the FRS because of a number of reasons, including the fact that the City receives money from both the state and federal government for the funds. For the Police and Fire Pension Fund, the City contributes money, the members contribute some and a small contribution is also derived from court fines. Additionally, there is roughly $10 million that is contributed each year from the state. The bulk of the money that is paid out—about 85%—comes from earnings. Jacksonville has guaranteed an 8.4% return, something that is not feasible given the current market conditions. (The Florida Retirement System, as an aside, guarantees a return of 6.4%.)
In January, JCCI recognized the reality that the city’s needs were unsustainable at an 8.48 millage rate and suggested several steps the city could take in righting the ship. Among those were:
• Real estate transfers—which would help meet the City’s obligations and create jobs to
renovate the real estate at the same time.
• Overfund in good years to create a cushion for bad stock market years.
• Make pension contributions on DROP participants
• Strengthen the Ordinance Code to 90% funded before benefits can be enhanced for
both pension funds.
• Greater discretion in investment options.
• Refinance the unfunded liability by stretching out obligation and/or using POB’s
Another solution is to, once again, revisit what the city is promising to new employees. The city’s new defined contribution pension plan, which is not as good as a defined benefit plan, is still guaranteeing a return of 7%—a full 1% above most defined contribution plans.
The Police and Fire Pension Fund has also suggested several solutions, including turning over parts of Cecil Field, the Jacksonville Shipyards and building future fire stations, which would then be leased back to the City.
It’s important to realize that while real estate may be part of the solution, it will not solve all of Jacksonville’s pension problems. For starters, real estate is not a guaranteed investment. In fact, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System has seen their real estate portfolio shrink by $3 billion over the past few months. They now stand to lose the entirety of a $922 million investment in a 20,000 home development that failed.
The solution, regardless of what it is, will not be painless and will likely require concessions from both the unions and the city—meaning the taxpayers. Perhaps the most important and pressing matter is the acknowledgement from all involved parties that the city is truly on the brink of a crisis with its pension funds and the time to act is now. If Council members haven’t yet gotten that message, they may learn it the hard way via a voter revolt in 2011. | <urn:uuid:f4a0507a-6185-47f2-9abe-fdf2365d7c51> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,195 |
The start of the new year has a tendency to turn even non-believers, a tad superstitious. Many of the world’s New Year’s traditions revolve around eating certain foods that serve as symbols to the eater’s hopes and wishes for the future.A common good luck food in the southern United States are the black eyed peas and greens.

Scaling to 600 users & cutting reporting times by up to a year
Before Tableau, Novozymes’ analysis occurred in Excel spreadsheets, extracting data out of their SAP BW environment. This static reporting led to long development times—from one month, up to a full year—for new business reports.
“By the time the reports were rolled out to the organization, many employees didn’t trust the data they were looking at,” says Henrik Ferdinand, Head of Novozymes’ Business Intelligence Competence Center.
With Tableau, Novozymes democratized the data. Today, business users and developers all create dashboards in Tableau instead of IT developing reports for the entire organization—reducing reporting times by up to 11 months. Now, IT can focus on more strategic tasks, while users are empowered to dig into their own data.
Within six months, Novozymes rolled out Tableau Server access to 600 users within 6 months—about 10 percent of the company. Departments like global planning, customer service and logistics, finance, and commercial support use Tableau to track key performance indicators. Even the business intelligence teams use Tableau to measure Tableau Server performance and usage metrics.
“We chose Tableau because we could see a new market for visualizing data and Tableau allowed us to do this in much more intuitive ways,” says Henrik. “Now we can reach out to our end users with information much faster and they can even create and share dashboards of their own.” | <urn:uuid:cc27e732-a6f5-416b-822f-971996d98283> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,472 |
A few months ago, Comcast announced a $45 billion deal to purchase Time Warner. Although much of the initial commentary focused on the potential effect this proposed merger would have in the cable television market (since Comcast and Time Warner are the first-and second- largest cable providers in the US), the effects in the broadband market are far more important. Research at the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society suggests that broadband is an increasingly critical element of social, economic and civic life.
In its 2010 “National Broadband Plan” report, the FCC describes Broadband as “the great infrastructure challenge of the early 21st century.” Just as the interstate highway system transformed residential life, facilitated the growth of the suburbs, and connected families to the broader economy of a region, broadband is a structural conduit for opportunity and upward mobility and in America today. Unfortunately, like the interstate highway system and the residential patterns it engendered, broadband access and affordability may yet become a new form of segregation in America. A research paper co-authored by Haas Institute researcher Samir Gambhir notes the inequality of broadband access, affordability and quality experienced by low-income neighborhoods, rural households, and communities of color in particular.
The mission of the Haas Institute at UC Berkeley is to identify and eliminate the barriers to an inclusive, just and sustainable society. We seek to understand the structure of opportunity in order to promote interventions that improve individual and group life chances, especially for marginalized populations. One of our leading initiatives is refining a methodology co-developed by Director john powell for measuring opportunity known as Opportunity Scoring. Compiling a series of indicators that correlate to projected life chances, we are able to map geographic areas (such as census tracts) by index quintile – defined as very low, low, medium, high, and high opportunity – based upon each census area’s value in the index. This methodology enjoys a range of applications, from siting low-income housing to targeting private investment.
While most of the indicators used by Opportunity Scoring can be organized into prescribed opportunity domains, such as education, employment, health and safety, some important channels of opportunity are not adequately captured by any general category. Broadband access may be one such indicator. The recently launched Rural Opportunity Index (ROI), a new interactive mapping platform developed by the Center for Regional Change at UC Davis in partnership with Rabobank, illustrates this challenge. In the ROI, high-speed internet access is subsumed under the “transportation/mobility” category.
Broadband touches almost every facet of modern life from education to employment to entertainment. Broadband can affect one’s ability to learn about and apply for jobs, research homework assignments, access medical records, pay bills, participate in local government, and much more. It is a platform for innovation and expression. It is difficult to imagine opening a business or getting an education without it.
Consider the ways in which broadband is becoming a new platform for learning. Millions of people worldwide take courses online or using free or low-cost instructional videos (the most famous being the Khan Academy), while Universities are also adapting to this technology with platforms such as Coursera. Online education, supplemented by instructor feedback, video-conference, and technologies such as Google hangout or Skype, are making these platforms increasingly attractive and viable, even for people in remote areas. Libraries are increasingly permitting e-reader borrowing, where you can download books to your tablet computer over the internet without having to drive to the local library.
Similar developments have emerged in work life. Teams of employees can work remotely – in different time zones even – and yet code, plan, organize, and communicate through the same technologies. Nearly 38 percent of employers allow some of their workers to telecommute on a regular basis (up from 23 percent in 2008). According to some studies, telecommuting increased productivity gains and improves work/life balance while also unclogging roads during rush hour. As housing costs drive some employees out of thriving economic centers, and as employers struggle to find housing for their employees, telecommuting is likely to be one solution, at least in the short-term.
“Telemedicine” is another development reliant on broadband access. Instead of driving to your local doctor, you can take a house call from home, as your doctor can check in on you via Skype or Facetime. For remote patients or follow-up check-ups, telemedicine can save time and money. While many experts and patients remain skeptical, the limited use of telemedicine may be a partial solution to the growing shortage of physicians in rural areas.
Beyond the ways in which broadband access may expand educational and economic opportunities, broadband access is also a conduit of cultural content. Critical online content-delivery platforms like YouTube (with its bountiful supply of amusing videos and TED talks), Netflix, the movie-streaming powerhouse, and cable television shows are all accessible from remote areas largely through broadband.
Broadband access is more than just a conduit of opportunity, it is a channel that structures all of the other opportunity domains, from education to employment. Access to this channel will only grow in importance as new and innovative services emerge based upon a recognition of broadband’s potential for increasing quality of life while saving time, money and reducing greenhouse gases. Broadband access is well on its way to becoming as essential to modern life as basic services such as electricity and clean water. As such, it should be treated as a public utility, as one of the proposals by the FCC in the so-called “net neutrality” debate would do.
Unfortunately, both access to broadband and broadband affordability remains a barrier to opportunity for many American families. Compared to our international peers, Americans pay more for broadband and receive inferior service. The FCC attributes this fact to the lack of competition in local broadband markets. It’s difficult to imagine how the Comcast-Time Warner merger could improve this situation.
The Comcast-Time Warner merger would give Comcast control over 40 percent of the country’s internet service in 19 of the country’s top 20 cable markets. Imagine if one corporation privately controlled 40% of the most important roads, streets, highways and bridges in those same markets. The issue isn’t just access; its affordability and quality (such as internet speed) for low-income families and many marginalized communities. If the Comcast-Time Warner merger reduces competition and increase the price of broadband access, the harms to upward mobility, economic opportunity and our nation would be far reaching. | <urn:uuid:9a59f757-ec3b-4beb-a432-1f5cd73932e9> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 7,092 |
Tangled Up In A TwistOf Fate 110/ Return of he laptop, a snippet of conversation, obits and stuff
Posted on July 28, 2013
It’s Sunday again and I planned an early breakfast and post. It’s 2:56 EST, so much for early. I did get up and make breakfast, pancakes from scratch and sausage with tea. Then things kind of went sideways. I usually watch the local news and get into the day. Sunday is mostly reserved for doing those chores that aren’t necessary but have to be done, eventually, like steaming the accumulated crud from in front of the sofa. I got the edges but am no heading into the real deep stuff. There’s a good chance I’ll be doing it tonight. The truth is, I crashed on the couch and was not motivated enough to roust my lazy a$$ up to do it. The problem is my conscience is bothering me. As I don’t have a wife or girlfriend it has taken over the job of moving me into stuff I really don’t want to do. It’s a persistent little bugger. Where was it when I was younger and got into all manner of trouble?
I got a call on Tuesday, actually the machine got the call. All I heard was computer, keyboard, done. I searched for the card with the shop’s phone number on it. Couldn’t find it. I wanted to know how much it was going to cost me. I discovered something else, I’d lost my glasses. I called the V.A. and they were nice enough to get me an appointment for Thursday. Wednesday I drove to the shop and picked up the Toshiba. The tech and I talked about the foolishness of going to Target and buying a computer, cursed Windows 8 and discussed removing my DOJ virus. He offered to remove what I wanted 1,000 word outline for a story and some older stuff that could be improved on, cleaning the system and reinstalling Windows 7. The whole thing cost me $29. I paid for the keyboard. I left with a song in my heart and a vague idea of how I got there. I got to the main route. That’s where the problem cropped up. The way back has a part that is counterintuitive. You want to go left to a familiar place, but to arrive where you have to take the road less traveled. I went the wrong way. I was on highways in Connecticut I didn’t know existed. I was cruising headed for my assumed destination when two separate but equal theories were brewing in my head. One was kind of ingrained; Massachusetts drivers are the worst in the country. This was formed from riding with my father to Boston and listening to him curse out Mass drivers and my trips to Fenway Park. The reason was, they were repressed and driving seventy in a fifty-five zone made them feel free. The other theory was New York drivers are a$$holes. this is due to a sense of entitlement from living in New York. Driving through Connecticut is just an inconvenience. In their minds if the world were just everything from Canada to the Atlantic coast would be New York and Boston would be a slave enclave. This was reinforced by the fact some a$$hat in a Jeep cut me off, flipped me off and made my search for I-84 difficult. He played Road Warrior until I got to a section that I knew led me home. We both headed for I-84, the thing was, I knew what came next. After the exit onto the interstate there’s a steep hill. I’ve gone down it many nights when I had classes in Manchester. If you hit it at sixty five and take your foot off the gas, Newton takes over and you’re doing eighty five when you hit the bottom. The New Yorker apparently didn’t know this because he hit the hill at sixty five and was waaay over the speed limit when he got to the bottom. I prayed for a State Trooper, no luck. It took him a good while to get under control because the big rigs on the road have no sense of humor when it comes to one of us small bugs who share the road with them have delusions of grandeur. He headed for the route to NYC and as a final FU to me tried to run into me or something. I was headed for the right lane and got a great view of him nearly rolling over.
On Thursday had an appointment with the eye doctor. I figured on a check for prescription and gone. I got a comprehensive exam as I was due in three months. While I waited I noticed the rather large group of attractive young women who did the exams. I hoped. No such luck. My examiner was efficient and asked questions. My problem that I’d recently noticed was that frequently I had to consciously focus my eyes and I wanted two pair of glasses one for reading and one for everything else. The exam went well, almost. I’m developing cataracts. I asked if proactive action could be taken. Hell, an eye patch looks rakish. No, they develop slowly and time will tell. I picked out frames that weren’t too hipster or too senior. The cataracts required UV protection. I looked at the budget and bought a pair of RayBan Wayfarers. I look cool.
Two obits: J.S. Bach, 1750 and J.J. Cale Bach today Cale Friday. A birthday and an obit that never were together, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Earl Tupper. Jackie O probably never used Tupperware and Earl Tupper was never invited to one of her parties.
An idea: Technology is static. It doesn’t move. It just waits for us to reach it. Sometimes I wish it had the sense to move a bit more forward. This is brought on by Windows 8. It seems somebody, a technigeer, someone with one foot in both disciplines came up with the idea. He passed it off to an engineer who drew it up and passed it off to a techie who said “It can be done!!”. Well they did it. And passed it off to us. The other thing is the spate of airplanes falling out of the sky and catching fire. Again technigeers. A long time ago R&D was mainly a one man job. Some guy came up with an idea and tinkered with it until it worked. When it worked, he sold it. Today we have compartmentalized things so much that when an idea is brought to fruition, it’s been handled so many people with a CYA attitude that the consumer is screwed. And they have to deal with the courts for recourse, good luck.
Dehydrated buttermilk is a must for every kitchen. I keep it with plain yogurt for doing fried chicken. But the dried buttermilk is super for making your own custom pancake or waffle mix. You can mix the dry ingredients and keep them in a mason jar for Sunday morning breakfasts or whatever. Just remember to mix it with liquids the night before to allow it to hydrate.
See you in the funnies. | <urn:uuid:49af3d32-5011-4d7b-ab5c-2b44b637e637> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 6,324 |
A New Year's Day, Chapter 3
Posted By: Guilty Spark<email@example.com>
Date: 15 December 2002, 9:08 am
[February 3, 2558. 1530 hours. Aboard the USNC Concordia orbiting Luna II.]
"Shields up! Bring us back to full alert," Halsey said as he turned to leave the room. "Bella, I'll see you on the bridge." Halsey left the room and boarded the nearest turbolift. The doors to the lift closed and Halsey commanded,"Bridge." The turbolift accelerated up and sped Halsey towards the bridge with a soft hum.
Halsey pondered the developing situation. The Concordia - being a Halcyon-class cruiser - was obviously more than any scout ship could chew. It was one of the first USNC ships to be fitted with new weaponry compliments of stolen Covenant technology. Turbolasers. It was a derivative of plasma technology, but didn't pack the same punch. However, what the turbolasers lacked in quality they made up for in quantity. They required less energy and a smaller footprint than their plasma counterparts, meaning you could arrange more of them on your ship. A lone Covenant heavy cruiser would think twice before tangling with a ship like the Concordia. This isn't a heavy cruiser it's a scout ship, Halsey thought.
The turbolift slowed then came to a firm stop. The doors opened and Halsey stepped onto the bridge. Some crewmembers stood staring out the main view of the bridge. He looked past them and there it was, the small ship they had encountered just hours prior. As Halsey approached, the crewmembers dispersed, returning to their bridge stations. Bella materialized nearby.
"Jamison, status," ordered Halsey.
"Nothing, sir. The ship is just sitting there... doing nothing," replied the lieutenant.
What in the world does this Covenant want, thought Halsey.
"Captain, the energy levels coming from that ship are off the scale," Bella said. "I've never seen anything like it."
"Is it building to self-destruct?"
"No. It is sustained, but... it's not plasma-based..."
"Comm! Multiple contacts bearing 0-7-1," Jamison broke in.
About eight kilometers off the starboard side of the Concordia, nine Covenant warships dropped out of slipstream. A heavy cruiser, two frigates and six destroyers. Immediately the frigates moved forward to engage the Concordia.
"A Covenant welcoming committee. That's what are little friend lured us into," Halsey said under his breath shaking his head at his inability to see this coming. "Helm, evasive maneuvers. Delta Tau." The Concordia turned away from the small scout ship to face the new threat.
As the first Covenant frigate came into range, a beam of intense, white light shot past the Concordia from her aft. The beam penetrated the frigate, travelling across its fore section slicing like a knife through the gleaming hull. Small explosions erupted along the fissure being created by the beam until the frigate imploded. The resulting explosion shook the Concordia and heavily damaged the remaining frigate, setting it adrift - no propulsion, no helm control. It would eventually meet its fate on the surface of Luna II. The destroyers broke formation and, along with the heavy cruiser, moved to engage the Concordia.
"Bella, where in the hell did that come from?" shouted Halsey.
"The scout ship, I think."
At that moment, the scout ship moved past the Concordia positioning itself in front to engage the oncoming Covenant ships. The Covenant ships - in unison - began firing at the Concordia and the scout ship. Some of the shots found their targets. The Concordia was rocked, absorbing the hits and sustaining serious damage to her shielding. We won't last long, thought Halsey. He noticed the scout ship was gone. Destroyed.
"Fire! Concentrate on the destroyers."
The Concordia returned fire. Her turbolaser batteries burst forth raining a firestorm on the approaching destroyers. Many shots found their mark. One destroyer was severely damaged - it would be joining the doomed frigate. Two other destroyers lost weapons but still had propulsion. The remaining three destroyers pushed ahead with the cruiser not far behind. The Covenant were about to have their day with the Concordia.
"Comm! Contact bearing 3-1-6! It's the scout ship," Jamison said in disbelief.
Behind and to the port side of the destroyers, the scout ship materialized. "A cloaking device," Halsey and Bella said looking at each other.
The scout ship emitted two white beams focused on the destroyers' aft sections. Before they could react, they exploded, breaking one of the destroyers into three large chunks hurtling through space. The Concordia erupted with another volley of fire at the last charging destroyer. As the destroyer simultaneously returned fire, it exploded. The Concordia found its mark.
The destroyer found its mark, as well. The Concordia was disabled, turning slowly, but thankfully moving away from Luna II. Weapons functioned, but no propulsion! "We're a sitting duck," said Halsey. "Where is that cruiser?"
"Sir, the cruiser is retreating," replied Jamison.
"I guess we have our little 'friend' to thank," injected Bella.
"Damage report," requested Halsey.
Bella stood with eyes closed and her hand to her forehead. "Engines down. We may be able to get secondary thrusters online in an hour - no word on the primaries. Shields down to nearly three percent. Long range communications are out. Minor hull breaches on deck thirty-two. Sixteen fatalities and about twice as many injuries - some of them serious. Overall, I would say we were lucky."
Halsey faced Jamison. "Where is that scout ship?"
"About 2 kilometers off our starboard side, sir."
Jamison hailed the tiny ship. Halsey turned to Bella, "What do you make of this little 'friend' of ours?"
"Beats the hell out of me."
"What kind of energy did you say?"
"I didn't. It's definitely not plasma-based. I've never seen anything like..."
"Sir, they're responding to our hail."
The bridge view flickered and was replaced by a holo-screen. The screen filled in with a large, dark figure. It appeared to be humanoid. It wore some sort of armor - not distinguishable on a holo-screen. Its eyes almost seemed to have a faint glow.
For a brief moment, no one said anything. Then, it spoke,"Hello, Captain Halsey. We are who you refer to as the Forerunner." | <urn:uuid:bb0f5918-e3c3-45c1-925d-c33a7e8c3ce3> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 6,243 |
More passengers return to Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- As more people get vaccinated, the more passengers Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport sees.
According to monthly passenger data from the airport, the number of passengers are beginning to return to pre-pandemic numbers.
In February 2020, the airport saw roughly 501,600 passengers, and it dipped to roughly 312,400 by March 312,400. By April 2020, the airport had about 23,700 passengers that month.
Fast forward a year, things are seemingly back to normal. In March 2021, the airport saw about 335,200 passengers. In April 2021, there were roughly 344,800 passengers.

What is required in an abstract?
An abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph of 300 words or less, the major aspects of the entire paper in a prescribed sequence that includes: 1) the overall purpose of the study and the research problem(s) you investigated; 2) the basic design of the study; 3) major findings or trends found as a result of your …
Can you put references in an abstract?
There are some circumstances where you might need to mention other sources in an abstract: for example, if your research responds directly to another study or focuses on the work of a single theorist. In general, though, don’t include citations unless absolutely necessary.
What is a good abstract?
A good abstract is short but impactful, so make sure every word counts. Each sentence should clearly communicate one main point. Avoid unnecessary filler words, and avoid obscure jargon—the abstract should be understandable to readers who are not familiar with your topic.
What is abstract writing style?
An abstract is a 150- to 250-word paragraph that provides readers with a quick overview of your essay or report and its organization. According to Carole Slade, an abstract is “a concise summary of the entire paper.” The function of an abstract is to describe, not to evaluate or defend, the paper.
What are keywords in an Abstract?
In APA Style articles, they appear just under the abstract. They are usually supplied by an article’s author(s), and they help databases create accurate search results. How do I pick my keywords? Keywords are words or phrases that you feel capture the most important aspects of your paper.
What is an abstract in APA example?
An APA abstract is a comprehensive summary of your paper in which you briefly address the research problem, hypotheses, methods, results, and implications of your research. It’s placed on a separate page right after the title page and is usually no longer than 250 words.
Does an abstract count towards page count?
Generally speaking, however, the abstract is included. In computer science, for example, it’s rare to use word count for research articles, and page count is used instead. The page count would typically include the title, abstract, paper body, references, and biographies (but not the appendix).
How do you count words in an abstract?
The Word Count feature of MS Word can help you track the length of your abstract. Click on the status bar in the bottom left hand corner of the Word window. It will tell you the character count, word count, and number of lines and paragraphs. | <urn:uuid:cc8d5ddb-d509-4cad-8e73-dfdca002f65f> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,548 |

After not having a pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers staff knew they had to make the most of the second day. The Steelers selected wide receiver Chase Claypool in the No. 49 overall pick and edge rusher Alex Highsmith with the No. 102 overall pick. How did they do?
Let’s talk about that.
First up we have Claypool. The Steelers haven’t looked for a big target at wide receiver since they drafted Martavis Bryant. But you have to appreciate the staff looking to give quarterback Ben Roethlisberger all the help he can as he returns from the elbow injury that robbed him of almost all of 2019.
Claypool almost looks more like a modern NFL tight end than he does wide receiver and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner could use that to his advantage. Claypool is a tireless worker and is as happy blocking as he is running routes and making catches. If he can develop into a hybrid player in the mold of a guy like George Kittle, the Steelers will have themselves a star.
Claypool isn’t likely to start as a rookie and might have his biggest initial impact on special teams but considering JuJu Smith-Schuster is a free agent at the end of the season, he like the pick.
Moving on to Highsmith, this pick is something of a mixed bag. You are going to read a lot about Highsmith’s underdog story from walk on to one of the better pass rushers in all of college football in 2019. And there’s no denying Highsmith has grown quickly into a very complete edge defender.
But in terms of immediate impact, Highsmith is not quite there yet. He, like Claypool could see their first chance on special teams and as a rotational player on defense. The biggest flaw in Highsmith’s game is functional play strength and this isn’t something you fix in a single camp. Nevertheless, Highsmith’s ceiling is very high and has a chance to be a very competent starter. | <urn:uuid:44c50065-66ef-4353-a02b-b32c658d844a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,881 |

Sergeant Sausage: Kenny’s Kafe
The Inspector had passed a special investigation to me as questions were being asked about new suppliers and chefs at Kenny’s. They didn’t fair to well on the last inspection, so he was sending me in, undercover, to check out the form.
Kenny’s is on Concorde Road, part of the Vulcan Road Industrial Estate
A large bright space for dining
Mega Breakfast please
Everything on the table that you could possibly want
Mug of tea served at the counter, teabag included
A good looking plate of breakfast
The sausages and hash browns were pretty good
A nice runny yolk in there
A lovely forkful
Save the best for last
Weirdly, the Colmans was not Colmans!
Upon entering – An industrial unit converted into a Café, Kenny’s has plenty of parking outside and looks like it does well off the local trade. I had never been there before so it was nice to find myself in a large, spacious room all laid out with matching tablecloths. I counted 40 covers, noted a little chill out zone with sofas down the far end of the room and a telly on the wall showing sport. I thought the carpet was a bit worn, but it didn’t really affect my investigation, and shows a good foot fall. All the tables were well laid out and had the cutlery on them, which is a nice touch as it saves you forgetting to pick some up on your way past. I didn’t see any menus on the tables so headed for the counter and took in the rather vast blackboard. The mega breakfast seemed the obvious choice and I was intrigued by the choice of tomatoes or beans, or one of three types of bread (toast or bread and butter or fried bread), but failed to spot the extras sign. Perhaps inspired by the cycling on the telly I plumped for toast. 9/10
Service – A welcoming smile from the lady behind the counter put me at ease and the staff were very friendly. I didn’t really feel under pressure and there was a nice atmosphere. A few people who were obviously regulars passed through and it was all good banter. A delivery service is offered to local units by the sound of things. The mega breakfast arrived quickly and it looked good 9/10
Contents – 2 Bacon, 2 sausage, 2 eggs, 2 hash browns, mushrooms, beans, toast, tea 8/10
Presentation – It looked great on the plate, those bangers looked thick and juicy and everything looked well cooked. I’ve not seen eggs cooked that way before, but I could see the yolks were plump and runny. A fried slice or a chuck of black pudding would have set it off perfectly 9/10
The food – I normally go in for the mushrooms as first taste, but for some reason chose the beans. Recently I’ve been served a lot of tepid beans and I wanted to be sure if it was just me, but these beans were so hot they burnt my mouth! Not badly I add, but it was a surprise. I think they were fresh from the microwave, rather than properly stewed (which is my favourite). The mushrooms were okay, cooked well and served their purpose. I found the catering bacon perfectly adequate and nicely done. The hash browns were really crispy on the outside and a little soggy on the inside, but they were okay and mixed in nicely with everything else. Those big old sausages had really caught my eye and they had a good texture and flavour, the only thing that slightly distracted me was the ratio of pork to breadcrumbs, and the breadcrumbs definitely came through. The eggs went straight onto the toast and again they were okay, though the whites were a little lacking in flavour. 7/10
Value for money – £5.50 seemed a fair price for the mega breakfast. There was a fair amount of it and it did the job. I left satisfied 8/10
Veggie option – Yes, although it was the cooked breakfast without meaty items. And a choice of fried slice or toast.
Overall – I liked Kenny’s, They are well placed and know their market well. It felt like a good place to eat if you were nearby. The food was well cooked and presented and in good proportions, but it just lacked that little extra that would have made it a nine. I felt that the quality is all school dinners rather than free range, but this is a well run business and that’s what came through for me. Kenny’s does what it does well. 8/10 | <urn:uuid:5367e8de-d992-4788-918d-ed198b73e422> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,166 |

Fall Safety Series with Dr. Sharma - Issue #3: Flu Facts 10/31/2013
As we enter flu season, Chilton Hospital's Ritu Sharma, M.D. would like to share with the community some very important information about the virus:
The flu vs. a cold: What are the differences and similarities?
Influenza, a.k.a. “the flu,” is seasonal—usually from winter into early spring—whereas a cold can be caught anytime.
Both are viral infections that can occur in the upper or lower respiratory tract.
They have similar symptoms such as cough, headache, sore throat and congestion. However, influenza usually comes with high fevers, fatigue and weakness. The flu can also come on abruptly and may be life-threatening.
Neither one can be treated with antibiotics.
There are medications available for treating the flu that make the symptoms less severe and shorten the course of the illness.
There is a vaccine for the flu, but not for a cold. Receiving a flu vaccine does not guarantee that you will not be sick all winter, but it does prevent illness due to flu.
Who can get the flu? Anyone can get the flu, but younger and older people are more susceptible to the disease. Also people with certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease can also be more sensitive to illness.
How can I prevent myself from getting the flu? Most diseases are spread through droplets in the air and also on objects. We often touch something then touch our face or eyes, causing the spread of germs. Hand washing is the easiest way to prevent spread of bacteria or viruses. Also, try cough or sneezing into your elbows, rather than your hands. Stay clear of anyone who is coughing or sneezing. I highly recommend to get your yearly flu shot. It does not give you the flu, although you may have some symptoms as you can with any vaccination, such as fever or aching.
Do I really need to get my flu shot every year? The influenza virus is different every year. Although there are several different types of influenza virus, the vaccine represents three to four of the most common types for that particular season. There are also different vaccines for each age group. Children between six months and three years old receive a small dose, and if receiving it for the first time, they must get a booster shot in one month. Seniors over the age of 65 should receive a high-dose vaccine so that their body can get appropriate immunity. Everyone else can receive the same vaccine and also have other options such as a nasal mist or an intradermal shot. Check with your physician to see which influenza vaccine is right for you.
Dr. Sharma is board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Her practice is at the Chilton Family Health and Wellness Center, 909 Ringwood Ave., in Haskell, NJ. To make an appointment, call (973) 831-6700 | <urn:uuid:9e776dd0-c6ad-4199-93bf-b0d8f7b7b254> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,813 |
Apparently rumors have spread from unidentified sources that Eve is about three months pregnant, and the father is her man of three years, Maximillion Cooper. If the whispers are true, this would be Eve's first child, but fifth for her millionaire love. She has stated before in interviews that she hopes to marry Max in the near future. The couple are currently living in London.
We'll have to wait and see if Eve confirms these rumors. | <urn:uuid:6c4c4566-0dab-490b-8f9a-c845aa68e2c7> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 437 |

Tips and Tricks for Finding the Best Musical Instrument
There are many factors why we are getting stressed, just like work-related concerns.During stressful occasions, one of the things we could think of that will relax us is playing Hal Leonard musical instruments. However playing instruments is not just a way to loosen up for some. In fact, some are using their skills to generate money. Even if how good you are in playing, your performance can still be impacted if you have a low quality of instrument so you truly need to be very mindful in selecting one. Hal Leonard Essential Elements For Band Bb Clarinet (Book 2 With Eei) -- this is exactly what you should be searching for if excellent musical instruments like keyboards, guitars, drums, microphones and other popular musical instruments are what you need. To help you finally decide on the musician's equipment to buy, here are some ideas for you.
A well priced Clarinet Method Books is needed by everyone. Always check on the price of the instrument you would like to buy. An instrument like Hal Leonard Essential Elements For Band Bb Clarinet (Book 2 With Eei) assures you of good quality and durability. If at all possible, it should be durable and with a superb condition. To sum it up, opt for high quality ones.
You should think of the money necessary for the instrument before stepping out the house. Daily expenses are growing, most people earn just enough to cover it and survive. Thus, they cannot simply buy just what they want. Items beyond their daily needs like guitars, keyboards, microphones, drums and other popular musical instruments don't have an allotted budget so it will be hard for them to purchase them. The decision is up to you to go over your budget or not. You should also have to know that it doesn't only end up with buying the instrument you want. There will also be instances that you need to spend cash for the maintenance and other modifications on the instrument. Since you need to pay a tuition if you want to learn from the experts or you need a tutor, being a beginner needs you to spend more. It will also be a good option if you check the prices of the instrument from various shops. With this, you'll be able to evaluate the costs of the instruments from different stores and have a good buy.
The most important thing here's that you have fulfilled your goal of purchasing a musical instrument. Taking these things into account will give you a much more handy way of finding the perfect instrument for your needs, less effort and a faster means of purchase. Often check the instrument's quality as it will shape your future as a musician. It could not be overlooked because it can either make you or break you. | <urn:uuid:cbe45f2f-83e5-419f-a98a-cd1f35898426> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,117 |

Welcome to my new home page. It begins with a focus on the new book The Boy Who Slept Under the Stars: A Memoir in Poetry, published by Holy Cow! Press, September, 2012.
This new book emerged from the journal writing I did after my brother, Lloyd H. Skelton, disappeared in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in 2005. Even though many people searched for him, they never found his body. How does one mourn without a body? The poems and prose poems express and explore this question. While writing about his life and my own grief, I found myself writing about other missing people, and they became part of the book as well.
I'll keep here a list public readings and update it, so you can check back for readings later in the fall. I'm also including two poems from the book (see below), as well as excerpts from readers' comments.

It’s that time of the year again where spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner. Students are in the final crunch mode to get through the year in one piece. While they happily embrace the seemingly longer days with the sun shining until 7pm, students grudgingly struggle to get out of bed early in the pitch black for a school day!
For years, people have had mixed emotions surrounding daylight savings and if its purpose is really necessary. Daylight saving time moves an hour of daylight from the mornings to the evenings, by shifting the clock forward by an hour and the opposite as fall approaches. On March 19, 1918, there was an act passed to ensure that the United States would preserve daylight; however, most countries don’t have daylight savings time leaving some people in the United States to find it unnecessary.
The immediate downside that comes to mind about daylight savings time is the precious hour of sleep we lose. It doesn’t seem like the biggest deal when it’s “just one hour,” but there is no doubt that people will feel like they have been hit with jet lag like it was a week long trip from England. Why not just switch the clocks forward on a Friday so we have a day to recover? Although we are in a day of age where technology takes care of switching our clocks forward for the most part, there are a few circumstances where you have to change them manually. Mostly everyone can relate to the feeling where you look at the microwave clock, and you just have to remember it’s an hour late until someone finally steps up to change it. Another noticeable difference due to daylight savings time is how dark it is in the morning waking up for school. It seems like you are waking up in the middle of the night! Sophomore Daryn Kaplan sees the trade off as being positive, however, remarking, “Although there is no sun in the mornings, it is so worth it when the daylight lasts until the late evening.” There are also pretty sunsets you can watch out for!
Once the clocks are changed, the spring feeling inevitably kicks in and students are ready for their summer break to come around the corner. You hear the birds start to chirp again in the morning and that spring smell outside arises. It’s hard to not notice everyone’s overall mood when this time comes around every year. Students are ready for the final stretch and make their way out of school from a long year. Especially with the late sun during this time, it makes it much easier for students to feel that they have time left in the day to fit in personal time and homework since the sun goes down much later. Junior Ally Ross believes, “I feel that I have much more time in the day when I come home from school since the sun is still shining.” Nothing like a little vitamin D!
It’s time to take advantage of the longer days we now have and get ready to switch our long sleeves to short sleeves and jeans to shorts! | <urn:uuid:c2cb06a8-35f5-4a92-8318-2526cce7a66a> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,934 |

I'm not much worried.
Pete Carroll wrote:“If he’s not quite right or if he doesn’t get off to a good start during the week, we’ve got other guys who can play for him,” Carroll said. “But we’re going to give him a heck of a chance to play. We’re thrilled to get him back and we’ll see what happens."
I trust Pete will handle Browner's return the right way - though I do think Browner will be picked on early and often by the Redskins (...remembering the long TD late in the 2011 game...) And the fact that the Hawks D has been the most dominant without him
makes me a little uneasy about him being in for extended periods right now until he gets back into groove. | <urn:uuid:ff2ba42f-4bb5-4403-8d6d-d51dbc81a0da> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 770 |
I use Chrome as my default web browser and I have added two different Chrome extensions that let me determine the influence of a Twitter account directly on Twitter.com. The first one is by Klout and it lets you see the Klout score of a Twitter user, right next to the user’s name.
I have also used a Chrome extension for PeerIndex, but it only displayed the score if you clicked on a person’s profile.
Today I noticed that PeerIndex have upgraded their extension and now when I visit Twitter.com I see this in my feed:
I now see the PeerIndex score next to each account’s Twitter handle, but also all the other accounts that are mentioned in each tweet. If you click on it you are taken directly to the account page on PeerIndex for more details. Also, if I drag the mouse over the score box, it shows a more detailed score of authority, activity and audience, and also some tags that represent the top topics by this Twitter user. This may be used to more quickly get a better picture of different Twitter users and people you may or may not want to follow. If Klout and PeerIndex scores are accurate tools for determining real influence, well that’s an entirely different blog post.

What is Sun VirtualBox
VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization software package, originally created by German software company innotek, now developed by Oracle as part of its xVM virtualization platform. It is installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems, each known as a Guest OS, can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment.
Homepage Link: http://www.virtualbox.org/
Host or Guest
OS/2 and eComStation can act both as a host operating system or as a guest operating system when running VirtualBox. Some constraints apply to what you can do and specifically HOW you do things depending on the availability and combinations of "hosts" and "guests":
- ...as a Host OS
In this case, OS/2 or eCS is your machines operating system. By installing VirtualBox for OS/2 and eComStation, you will be able to run different operating systems as "virtual machines" on your PC.
- ...as a Guest OS
Running OS/2 or eCS as a guest means that your PC is actually running some other operating system (like Linux, Windows, ...) and OS/2 or eCS will be available as virtual machines.
VirtualBox for OS/2-eCS-ArcaOS
This software is needed if you want to run different operating systems from within your OS/2 or eComStation PC (it will thus give you a VirtualBox 'host' on your machine). Whereas, if you intend to run OS/2 or eComStation as a virtual machine on a different operating system environment (e.g. "run OS/2 on a Windows machine"), you will need to download the appropriate VirtualBox version (in this case the Windows version).
Different ports of VirtualBox for OS/2 and eComStation are available for free download:
- BitWise's Port
- Version 5.0.6 r141 Beta
- Paul Smedley's port
- Version 1.x.x-r9190 (20080531) from Paul Smedley's Homepage
- T.Ebisawa's port (contains patches to fix DBCS-compliant problems)
- Version 1.6.1-r9201 (20080604) from an anonymous FTP server | <urn:uuid:f1441f4b-fafb-43ac-bee0-2425d92b1ba6> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,935 |

The Electronic Software Rating Board (ESRB) is the American organization which rates the video games released in North America. In Europe it is the Pan European Game Information (PEGI). The ESRB has been widely criticized for its lack of strictness, with its critics stating that the ESRB rates games much lower than it deserves, so more copies of the game will be sold.
The rating system is as follows.
Titles rated EC (Early Childhood) have content that may be suitable for ages 3 and older. Contains no material that parents would find inappropriate. It is the equivalent of a TV-Y rated TV show.
Titles rated E (Everyone) have content that may be suitable for all ages. Titles in this category may contain minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence and/or infrequent use of mild language. It is the equivalent of a G rated movie.
Titles rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) have content that may be suitable for ages 10 and older. Titles in this category may contain more cartoon, fantasy or mild violence, mild language, and/or minimal suggestive themes. It is the equivalent of a PG rated movie.
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood and/or infrequent use of strong language. It is the equivalent of a PG-13 rated movie.
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and/or strong language. It is the equivalent of a R rated movie. No games created by Nintendo are rated M.
Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content that should only be played by persons 18 years and older. Titles in this category may include prolonged scenes of intense violence, frequent use of Strong Language and/or graphic sexual content and nudity. It is the equivalent of a NC-17 rated movie. Only 25 games have been given this rating, none of them being Nintendo games.
Titles listed as RP (Rating Pending) - have been submitted to the ESRB and are awaiting final rating. (This symbol appears only in advertising prior to a game's release.)
The Legend of Zelda Ratings
Although the Zelda games have been around longer than the ESRB, every main Zelda game has an ESRB rating due to re-releases. Every Zelda game has a rating of E (Everyone) except for Twilight Princess, Link's Crossbow Training, Hyrule Warriors, Twilight Princess HD, and Hyrule Warriors Legends which were all rated T (Teen), and Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time 3D, The Wind Waker HD, Majora's Mask 3D, and Breath of the Wild which were rated E10+. | <urn:uuid:3655541b-33b1-46b3-877e-f14b5061b91d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,671 |
The category approach used in the Toolbox:
- Focuses on intrinsic properties of chemicals (mechanism or mode of action, (eco-)toxicological effects).
- Allows for entire categories of chemicals to be assessed when only a few members are tested, saving costs and the need for testing on animals.
- Enables robust hazard assessment through mechanistic comparisons without testing.
The QSAR Toolbox is a software intended to be used by governments, the chemical industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco-)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. The Toolbox incorporates information and tools from various sources into a logical workflow. Grouping chemicals into chemical categories is crucial to this workflow.

Sponsored by Blount Fine Foods
Gone are the days when restaurants half-heartedly menued “token” vegetarian soups that were watery, flavorless and lacked the richness provided by long-simmering, protein-based stocks.
These days, however, flavorful plant-forward, meatless soups represent a growing trend that is being fueled by a lifestyle revolution focusing on more health-centric eating habits. An article published in Forbes lists three benefits of plant-based foods that match what millennials and Gen Zers are looking for: health benefits, lower costs than animal protein and a sustainability profile that has a less-negative impact on the environment than the production of meat protein.
In another article the banking firm Chase identifies plant-based protein as one of seven “Foods of the Future,” agreeing that they are more healthful for people and for the environment.
Plant-based protein can be found in soybeans, garbanzo beans, lentils and kidney beans; vegetables like avocado, spinach and kale; nuts and seeds such as cashews, sesame seeds and almonds; and whole grains like quinoa and oatmeal.
A soup stock revolution
Still, while health benefits and sustainability represent noble pursuits, if the food doesn’t taste good the trend will go nowhere. Fortunately, chefs are creating delicious dishes that appeal to vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians — and everybody else.
The possibilities are endless, experts say. “I see magnificent soups being built on robust, long-simmered stocks made from roasted, caramelized veggies,” says Karen Malody, owner and principal of Culinary Options. “I also see stocks made from smoked vegetables, grilled vegetables and house-crafted dehydrated vegetables, whose essence was caught at the peak of flavor.”
Nor are plant-forward soups being featured only as appetizers. Malody sees entrées being transformed into hearty soups and stews, such as eggplant Parmesan or squash blossom enchilada soup. “Anything that exists in a center-of-the-plate form can be translated into a liquid meal,” she says.
Solving the soup-labor issue
However, one trend that can exert a negative impact on the kitchen is the scarcity of trained labor. In the soup category, however, there is an easy solution: high-quality premium prepared soups. For example, Blount Fine Foods provides a portfolio of prepared plant-forward soups that can take the labor issue off the table.
Bob Sewall, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Blount, says that from the restaurant perspective, having prepared soups in the refrigerator or the freezer allows the kitchen to offer great-tasting products without incurring extra labor costs.
Blount’s organic soups also satisfy consumer demand for authenticity by having them certified. “It’s a way for our customers to offer organic products that are certified,” Sewall says.
In the last six to eight months, there has been a growing demand for vegan soups, Sewall notes. Vegan — and vegetarian, as well — are top of mind with an increasing number of customers. Once occupying a lonely space on the menu, as Malody points out, they are now also ordered by carnivores who are looking for healthful — and tasty — additions to their dining choices.
Sewall says that of the 50 or more plant-forward soups produced by Blount, the favorites are organic coconut lentil, organic harvest bisque, tomato zucchini and the trusty American standby, tomato soup.
And there are many more recipes on the drawing board at Blount. “We’re constantly coming out with new and different recipes. It’s almost a weekly thing,” Sewall says. He finds that diners are not necessarily making these products at home, so they love to order them in a restaurant. “You have to give them what they want,” he says.
Plant-based soups firmly on the menu
Research firm Datassential recently published a plant-based eating study showing a number of plant-forward soups ranking high on its menu penetration scale. The items with the highest percentage increase in a four-year trend are butternut squash, gazpacho and tomato soup with broccoli cheese ranking not far behind.
Datassential’s marketing coordinator Joe Garber points out that soup and chili are the top dishes when the recipe calls for using legumes. The four most menued items are black beans, chickpeas, edamame and lentils. “All these have grown by double digits over the past four years,” he says. Legumes possess a mouthfeel that is a great substitute for animal protein.
Garber suggests that chefs also “consider global influences when offering plant-forward dishes, such as Indian curries or Asian noodle soups.” Agreeing with Sewall, he adds that plant-based recipes can offer dishes that are difficult to replicate at home, giving the consumer a treat when eating out.
Malody also cites the importance of incorporating global influences into a restaurant's soup selection. “The ethnic influence is making a huge impact on this category,” she says. “Asians are, and have been for centuries, presenting palate-pleasing combinations such as tofu, eggplant and shiitake mushrooms.”
In fact, the combinations are seemingly endless. “Add to the flavor possibilities of soups with an array of tasty vegetables and or to the texture and heartiness with barley, brown rice, bulgur and other grains and legumes, and a person could eat well to the end of their days without touching an animal protein.” | <urn:uuid:c8bd351e-e85d-4b0c-9dec-fe8265b29ed3> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,394 |

I was talking to my sister the other day about how hard it is sometimes to know exactly what people are saying when it comes in the form of a text or facebook message. Sometimes you think it sounds rude or mean, but the person sending it wants it to sound funny or cute. While I feel that these new technologies are a great thing, dating is one way that does not need to change. We date to find someone to spend eternity with and spending eternity with someone is a huge commitment. A commitment that if we are to keep we need to really get to know the person we are going to marry. Satan knows how hard marriage can be and if he can use technology to put up a false wall for people he knows he can use it to tear apart a family.
Gawain and Gayle Wells teach us in an Ensign article about the importance of coutship. "When we were teenagers, we had the notion that courtship would be a blissful period of strolling down shady lanes hand-in-hand, looking deep into each other’s eyes, and planning the future. This period, we were sure, would immediately precede “happily ever after.” | <urn:uuid:59609f1b-151d-4c3b-aab7-63d32e4134b4> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,082 |

actually the CM could just allocate pixmaps in size steps - eg 32 or 64 pixels
in x and y - and only resize once the pixmaps goes above or below a 32/64 pixel
watermark. this "watermark" size can be configured. what you do need now is the
ability for the cm to SPECIFCY the redirected pixmaps directly, rather than
just getting it. this allows the granularity of a re-alloc to be tuned to
usage. but this is up to the CM. X just needs to make it possible via
by the same toke tho - add a pixmapresize call to x protocol and then x can
internally tile pixmaps and just add or remove tiles from a pixmap as
