Many Disc Golfers want to help the children in their lives develop a passion for the sport. Unfortunately, most disc golf discs are very difficult for children to throw.
So what do you do?
In this guide we’ll define the key discs characteristics needed to help kids generate more distance and ultimately have more fun, hopefully putting them on a path to a lifetime of enjoyment playing a fantastic sport!
The Two Specific Challenges for Kids, and How to Overcome Them
Child disc-golfers typically suffer from the same two challenges, but both are easily addressed by selecting the right discs.
Kid’s Challenge #1
Problem: Generating Spin
Solution: Reduce Rim Width and/or Disc Diameter
Disc rotation is the key to stable flight. Without any spin the disc will simply flip nose-over-tail, and without enough spin the disc will not properly stabilize.
Unfortunately, children experience all of the same technique-related problems that adult beginners have, as well as very low release velocities. These two issues combine to result in very little disc rotation.
Because of this, children need discs that are as easy to spin as possible.
The Physics concept called Moment of Inertia tells us the two ways to reduce the amount of energy required to rotate a disc are to shift the concentration of total disc weight away from the perimeter of the disc, and/or to reduce the outside diameter of the disc (Figure 1).
Generally speaking, the discs with the most narrow rims and smallest outside diameters are midrange discs and putters, so our search for the perfect children’s’ discs begins there.
Kid’s Challenge #2
Problem: Generating Release Velocity
Solution: Reduce Disc Weight
It has been scientifically proven that the single most important determinant of drive distance in release velocity, with each 1mph of incremental release velocity providing (on average) an additional 7.2 feet of distance!
This is especially important at lower release speeds (i.e. those of an average child).
For children, the use of a light-weight disc is critical.
Putting It All Together
We know that for the best results we want to find a light-weight, narrow-rim, small diameter disc. To be legal for PDGA play, the minimum legal dimensions (Figure 2) are as follows:
- Weight: 130g+
- Diameter: 21cm+
- Rim: No Min, 2.5cm Max
With these criteria in mind, one disc immediately jumps to the front:
- Mold: Roc3
- Manufacturer: Innova
- Weight: 165-169g grams
- Diameter: 21.1cm
- Rim Width: 1.2cm
- Plastic Type: DX
The 165-169 gram version of the popular Innova Roc is the perfect choice for children. Its small diameter, moderate weighting, and thin rim make it easy for kids to throw, while still providing the feel of a “real” disc, helping them work on their technique and preparing them for more advanced discs down the road.
Additionally, the Roc gives kids the satisfaction of playing with the same disc as the “adults”, which can be a great confidence builder (the adult version will often be closer to 174g — but they don’t have to know that….).
A Better Option?
If you are not concerned with the disc being PDGA approved, and if the child in question does not mind playing with a disc that is clearly smaller than the adults’ discs (Figure 3), an even better option is available for maximum distance:
- Mold: Mini Buzzz
- Manufacturer: Discraft
- Weight: 62 grams
- Diameter: 15 cm
- Rim Width: 1.2cm
- Plastic Type: Z
Significantly lighter and smaller than any PDGA approved disc, this Mini model is designed to provide similar flight patterns to Discraft’s #1 selling Buzzz, but in a smaller version.
At less than half the weight of a typical disc and only 6″ (15cm) wide, the Mini Buzzz will fly incredibly far with very little effort — perfect for children who want to feel like they can keep up with the adults when driving!
Reducing weight, diameter, and rim width will significantly improve kids’ ability to generate good spin and distance. Whether or not you want to keep the discs within PDGA specifications is up to you and the personal preferences of the child in question.
Either way, both of these options should immediately make the game more fun and rewarding.

A team of scientists from the University of Strathclyde, Imperial College, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ITU and the University of Jena have been able to successfully convert the nuclear waste product iodine 129 into a less dangerous substance.
Iodine 129 is a by-product produced by the nuclear power industry. It has a half life of 15.7 million years and is difficult to dispose of. Current practice involves encasing it in glass and burying it deep in the earth.
Using a laboratory laser they have been able to transmute iodine 129 into iodine 128, with a half life of 25 minutes. This allows it to be safe to handle and dispose of within 1 hour.
Work in the near future will involve scaling the process up to deal with commercial volumes of iodine 129, as well as applying the technology to other radioactive isotopes. The process will also be adapted to the production of pharmaceutical isotopes.
The findings from the team’s research will be published in the Institute of Physics, Journal of Physics D.

Take Your Photography To The Next Level With These Tricks
Well, you've decided to enter into photography. Pretty cool, right? Well, except for the fact that there is so much information that you have no clue where to start. Don't worry, photography tips are here! Listed in this article are some tips that will help you get started and organized so that you can become a successful photographer.
Don't be afraid of taking pictures. If you use the wrong settings, it's okay. Go ahead and take the picture anyway. If you want to photograph a person or pet, go up and ask if it's okay; create a release form to sign if it makes you more comfortable. Just go do it!
A great photography tip is to try and find your own voice through photography. You want to set yourself apart from all the other photographers in the world. You can do this by figuring out how you like to capture things, and by figuring out which emotions you want to feature. Find and express an individual style.
A good photography tip that can help you is to not be afraid of getting your work critiqued by other people. Putting your work out there can leave you feeling vulnerable, but it's very valuable to know how other people perceive your work. It can help you improve a lot.
A great photography tip that can help you out is to be realistic about your work. You can't expect to be a creative genius at all times. Art has a lot of ups and downs and if you're expecting to always be on top, you'll become very discouraged.
If you're doing a landscape shot, try and capture some movement in the shot. Whether it's the wind blowing the trees or a wave crashing against the shore, capturing this movement can add an extra layer of depth to the photograph. If you're going to try and capture movement, make sure you've got the shutter speed set correctly.
Proper shooting stance is very important in photography. You want to hold your arms tight to the body, while having a firm grip on the camera using both hands. This will help create clear shots with less shaking. Additionally, by cradling your hands around and under the camera, it will prevent accidental dropping of the device.
The "S" stands for shutter speed. Use low shutter speed to get sharp pictures when capturing moving objects. Set the shutter speed to higher speeds for creating a more experimental picture. This is a cool feature to use when getting photos of fireworks or tail lights on a car. It is an easy way to get artistic features in your photos.
A great Drone hire tip is to always be aware of your surroundings. Don't shut off your creative vision when you don't have a camera nearby. You should always be looking at things and visualizing. This is a great way to stay fresh creatively and to always be inspired.
First and foremost photography should be enjoyable. A picture is a way of recalling a certain situation or emotion. Make sure you are having fun when you are taking pictures and you will be enthusiastic about learning new skills.
Pre-focus your camera and move to where your subject isn't dead center in the frame. Perfect composition is not necessarily the most interesting or artistic photographic technique. By using this technique, you will find that your photo and the subject matter give off a more interesting appeal to the viewer.
When your perfect shot is in view, stay still and hold your breath when you push the shutter. Movement will cause your photo to be blurred. Take that second to freeze before touching your shutter button, hold your breath, and snap the perfect shot.
If shooting outside or in an area that is bathed with outdoor lighting, confirm whether or not flash on the subject is appropriate. You want to turn it off if it is bathed in bright sunlight or other really bright conditions. Turn the flash back on when in heavy shadow or darker areas.
Now, don't you feel better after reading all those tips? That was a lot of information to think and read through, but at least now you know what to do and where to begin with your Aerial Survey. Plus, you can always refer back to the above list of tips, if you forget. | <urn:uuid:30e9922b-fd61-4324-81c5-fe2136ca0f1e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,099 |
I started these mittens back in May, of all months, and finished the right mitten all in one weekend at the cottage. But then I just never got around to knitting the second one, until after Christmas. I wanted a compact knitting project to take with me on our trip to Ottawa (not to mention I wanted to finish them while it was still winter). These are Tiffany, designed by Sabine Riefler for the Winter 2006 issue of Knitty.
It’s kind of been a goal of mine to finish up the various WIPs I have going in the knitting department before starting on anything new this year. While I haven’t exactly stuck to that, I do only have one other project long left unfinished, the Neimen sweater from Knitty Fall 2007. And that project is just not going anywhere. On the needles right now is a new work tote, destined for felting.
I did these in Cascade 220 wool on 3mm needles. They’re a little snug around the width of my hand, especially in the thumb section, and the cuff is quite long and needs to be tucked deeply up my sleeve. But they are lovely showstoppers. It was one of the first major Fair Isle projects I’ve done, and so they were good practice for learning tension when doing colourwork. They were a little “bumpy” but the blocking sorted that out nicely.
Now I’m all inspired to do more colourwork mittens, but I think I’ll do ones with shorter cuffs next time, as pretty as these are. I guess I really should address that slow-as-molasses sweater first though. | <urn:uuid:c409e93b-07b2-43cb-b681-cd0e1d89e23a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,466 |
Well, its been a while since the announcement of the final closing of Dex's Pub. The news and idea has had time to fester and grow, and while not much has been said as to ideas for the new establishment taking the place of Dex's Pub, that doesnt mean no one has said anything. But it would definitely help if someone did post their ideas....
But for now, lets just discuss some of the new things involved with the closing of one and opening of another. One good thing is that drinks might not be the only thing offered to the customers of Dex's Pub, as food may also be offered as well. Also, because of food and drinks and hopefully the slew of new people coming in with the new room, 'jobs' may b offered to some of you who are interested. Another thing is the interior design and purpose.
Many times before, in Dex's Pub, have the diverse group of customers asked for some kind of food. while before we have not been able to offer any food other than some snacks and maybe ice cream, we hope to have great tasting food with the new establishment. This little change also ties into the possibility of jobs being offered to those who are interested and willing. There will be a need of a small group to help keep the new place going smoothly with work and with customers. Bartending, welcoming, cooking and also chronicling will all be looked into. More details will be posted later, but if you have any interest, please comment AND message me, and we can talk about it in more detail now.
One last thing is the interior of the new establishment. Meditation areas, dojo style training areas, tables and chairs, some couches and other comforts will all be available. This will allow for more comfort in different areas for different kinds of people. Oh, and lets not forget the bar where you will order what you would like. Now, for the artists out there, i would like any interested to contact me about drawing up the new establishment and giving it a visual face. It would go very well for any who would be willing.
We look forward to this new establishment, but we also will miss Dex's Pub when it closes. But this should bring us all better times than ever before. But it cant happen without its people, its friends, its family. We look forward to hearing your opinions, any and all, bad and good.
-all of us at Dex's Pub and the new establishment
PS please give us ideas on what name the new place shall be called. we need them desperately.
This will be entirely a trail transition. The name change, the way things are handled, the rules, all these things will be going through some kind of change or modification or another. However, do not be fooled or have too high a hopes, as i am sure some of you are already having, with certain aspects. There will be some things that will remain the same.
Namely the rule that absolutely no alcohol will be allowed. Ever. Period.
I am not sure when this change will fully take place, nor how much is going to be different just yet. But i do promise you that if this trail change does not work out, then the issues will be worked out and fixed to everyones satisfactory. If that means going back to Dex's Pub, then so be it.
There will be many more posts soon to discuss the new ideas and let everyone know when these ideas will become reality. And as always, If anyone has any kind of input or suggestion, please feel free to share them here. And if not here with the public comment system, please feel free to Private Message me and I will do my best to answer you within the day.
-From all of us at Dex's Pub
Well, i said it would take some time before it would happen, and it has been quite a while, but i think we can do it now. Two or three nights ago now, Dex's Pub has been reopened at nights, from the usual time at about 10-10:30PM eastern time. Closing time varies on who all is in the room.
I think we are gonna make a new world called Dex's Pub in order to make new and cool posts about the Pub and its people and events. I think there will be a few short stories as well, about different and random nights from saved chat sessions, but that is only an idea as of now. In doing this tho, It would be a good idea for anyone interested in being apart of the Pub on a normal basis or just close friends with those kinds of people to send in their personal or TheO OC bios. Ill do my best to make sure it stays close to it as i can.
well, for now, thats it. please feel free to comment anything and any thoughts about this.
Been quite a long time since this world has been updated, hasn't it? I actually had some big plans for this place... so much for that happening, huh?
Well, by now I'm not sure if ill delete my worlds and start over or not, cause a lot has been happening lately... A chat room that I had usually opened at night is shut down for a while, and it was voluntarily shut down, It wasn't forced to close. Many issues with chatting and the people online in the chats here on TheO has come up and its either been personal or just bothersome, or its been something to ignore or something to make fun of, which either way ended in many bad topics and bad online vibes. Its just been one thing after another.
I've actually found a few new pet peeves about people myself, even online people, but i wont mention anything specific here, cause i don't want to just blog here, thats not what i want to do with this....
For now, i think thats all... ill try to see what i can get out of this world, but i will make a post saying if i delete this world and create a new one or not before i actually do it.
Oh and any kind of feedback is welcomed. as always. i get bored way too easy, it seems....
Both of them stood there, about 30 feet apart from each other. It was just enough distance to hear each other speak. The wind blew across the field of broken boulders and rock, causing the dying sun to wave across the swaying grass. There was no else seemingly around, just the two of them. One wearing a flowing black robe around himself whilst the other wore brown. Underneath each robe set both men’s weapon, or better said, weapons. Each carrying one loaded pistol, as well as an expertly made katana blade, customized to be best wielded by either man.
“So, what shall it be?” the dark cloaked man asked the other.
There was silence for a time before the brown robed man replied, “Whichever suits the other.”
The head of the black robe seemed to nod as another fresh breeze traveled across the soon-to-be battlefield. Tension rose almost visibly in the atmosphere of the field over what was undoubtedly to come, yet both men seemed relatively at ease, as though each was enjoying this rather peaceful place, during this seemingly endless peaceful weather.
Suddenly, there were gunshots ringing throughout the valley. Quick, loud and impacting bullets were heard. As quickly as they started, the sounds stopped, leaving the valley eerily absent of all noise other than that of the birds flying away from the sounds of battle.
Both men, still cloaked in black and brown, found themselves still standing about 30 feet from one another, neither having a scratch on them. Around them, on the boulders and rocks that naturally littered the valley, were little niches and small indentations where the bullets impacted, some still producing smoke from the bullet that it was hit by. The clang of metal on rock and earth sounded, as two empty pistols hit the ground after being thrown by their owners.
Silence reigned, as everything seemed to stand still in time. There was no longer any sounds of nature; the chirping of birds, the sounds of early night crickets song, nothing. It seemed the only movement was that of yet another breeze flowing past and rustling the grass and each man’s robe. Finally, the silence was broken.
“It seems guns are useless today,” came from the brown robed man, whilst without words, the dark robed man agreed.
It was now that the dark robe fell to the ground, no longer worn by its owner. As the robe fluttered to the ground, the sound of sliding metal echoed. The man once robed in dark robes now stood with his sword drawn, ready to strike. The sun gleamed and flashed brightly on the blade as its owner stood ready, yet somewhat loosely, as though waiting for a sign to start.
The brown robed man opened his own robe, but never took it off. A similar echo filled the air as his own sword was drawn. Stranding in a similar loose, yet battle ready fashion, he waited.
With no birds or wildlife to signal when both men would strike, silence floated on the wind. Again, both men just stood there, seemingly waiting for the moment to end with reluctance.
Suddenly, with a quick flash and fast, loud rustling of cloth, the quick sound of metal against metal rang out once. Both men stood the same distance apart from one another, but with their backs to the other, swords pointed straight out in front of themselves. It was as though neither had ever moved, as though they had both been where they were at now the whole time.
Each man stood still and sturdy, as though to stand there for hours upon end without movement. Quietly, almost with a whisper, the one with out a cloak, asked a question of his opponent.
“That was new, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, but I have had it for some time. I have only never used it…”
“… until today. I am honored, and impressed.”
After a moment, he spoke again to his robed counter-part.
“I guess it's over then.”
And with that, he fell, his sword falling to the ground with a slight clutter. With a thud, he hit the ground, lifeless. If one were to look, they would see quite a few wounds from his opponents blade, and blood having spilt from them, as well as a light trail from the corner of his mouth.
Still in his own stance, the man in the brown cloak slowly stood straight, holding his sword to the side. He lightly turned his head towards his fallen opponent, not fully turned as to look at him. Bowing his head slightly, he sheathed his sword, not bothering to clean it before doing so, knowing this would be his last time using that particular blade.
As a light breeze filtered through the valley, he walked away from the battle field, now turned grave. The sun soon set, basking the valley in the darkness of night, marking the end of the day of this battle.
“It would seem so. Good bye.”
Well, i have been meaning to try and post a Word for a while, and i finally finished this one. tell me what you think! | <urn:uuid:6ddfe6fd-b57b-435d-8605-e21819f7cf30> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 10,422 |
My thanks to Everpix for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed. Everpix is a smart photo platform that helps you make sense of your growing photo collection. It’s an ambitious endeavor: think of it as a cloud-based alternative to iPhoto for organizing and storing your entire photo library. It’s designed with modern photography in mind: the assumption is that we all have thousands of photos (the average Everpix user has more than 10,000), are adding hundreds more each month, and that few of us ever take time to organize our new photos.
Everpix does the organizing for you, based on dates and on very clever semantic analysis of the content of your photos. It’s impressive technology. They have terrific iPad and iPhone apps for viewing and browsing your library, and Mac and and Windows apps for syncing your photos from your computer to their cloud. You can keep using apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, or Aperture for importing from your camera and making editing adjustments.
Everpix is not a social network like Flickr or Instagram, it’s your personal photo library, stored in the cloud, accessible via really well-designed native client apps for iOS. The apps are free, as is the 30-day free trial to start. After that, subscriptions are easy: $5/month, or $40/year. (What a novel business model: charging money.) I’m loving it, and very impressed. I highly encourage everyone to give the free trial a go. Bottom line: Everpix is what iPhoto/iCloud photo syncing should be.

Leadership and Organisational Behaviour
In a recently published research by Market Research Future (2018), it is projected that data analytics will be the booming market of this generation with a CAGR of 30.1% in the next five years and the market value will surpass USD 77.64 billion. In the UK, the industry is expected to generate GBP 241 billion for the economy by 2020. Also, in a big data executive report, 85% surveyed companies reported that their firms have started programs to create data-driven culture (NewVantage Partners, 2017). That is right, the large majority of companies in the world no matter their sizes and industries are taking effort to adapt with this change. Some companies grow organically a team of data scientists while some acquires other data analytics companies to gain the expertise drastically. Both ways of forming a data analytics organisation require the right management strategy. However, the problem is managers of those data analytics organisation cannot rely solely on the traditional leadership and organisational behaviour theories, but rather need to make amendments. The main reason is that there are characteristics of data analytics field certainly differently to traditional workplace as in the theories. One classical organisational behaviour theory that is Max Weber’s Bureaucracy has been used to design many organisational workplaces to increase efficiency and achieve manufacturing target, in particular, after the industrialisation revolution time. However, the Weber’s theory on Bureaucracy is not be totally relevant to later industries such as data analytics, a highlight of industry 4.0. In this essay, it will first briefly mention Weber’s Bureaucracy theory, followed by Bureaucracy theory and discuss the irrelevant points of the theory in data analytics field.
Max Weber (1947) proposed his bureaucratic theory around the structure and administrative process of the organisation with the purpose of reducing the complexity in organisation’s functioning. He defined that the bureaucratic organisational form is characterized by three main features: 1) Specialization and Division of Labour; 2) Hierarchical Authority Structures; 3) Rules and Regulations.
According to Perrow (1986) in his book Complex Organisation, where organisation strive towards efficiency and tasks are stable and routine-based such as in industrial societies, Weber’s rational bureaucracy theory is the most relevant approach of administration. However, the nature of data analytics is totally opposite to stable and routine and neither striving for efficiency is the priority for most companies in data analytics field today but perhaps diversity and creativity are. Burns and Stalker (1961) also criticize the “ever greater administrative complexity has brought a wide range of bureaucratic positions and career into being” to firms and as a result, affecting the production of innovations. IBM (2018) states very clear that their value... | <urn:uuid:2a5f9919-5482-422c-b8ef-07cffa92d29c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,976 |

Pollution plan may have big impact in Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh to host 1 of 4 nationwide events
The sweeping Obama administration plan to limit carbon dioxide pollution from electric power plants could have significant impacts on Pennsylvania's air quality as well as its industries, experts said Monday.
Gov. Tom Corbett was critical of the plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming, but one major utility said the reductions appear to be doable.
The plan, announced Monday, gives each state some flexibility in how it makes significant reductions in carbon emissions by 2030. About 40 percent of Pennsylvania's electricity comes from about 30 major coal-fired power plants, and the state is also the fourth-leading producer of coal in the nation.
The proposal could bring much cleaner air to Pennsylvania, but coal-fired power plants would be forced to spend far more money on reducing pollution.
One major energy company that operates in Pennsylvania was cautiously optimistic about the proposal.
"FirstEnergy believes it is in a strong position to meet the requirements in the proposed rule" through investments in emissions controls and plant retirements, said spokeswoman Stephanie Walton. She said FirstEnergy, which is based in Akron, Ohio, is still studying the plan, but had already expected to cut carbon emissions significantly next year.
But coal miners could suffer even if energy companies adapt. Pennsylvania employed about 9,000 coal miners in 2012, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and those jobs play a vital role in some rural communities.
"Thousands of direct coal industry jobs will be lost," Pennsylvania Coal Alliance CEO John Pippy said in statement.
"Anything that seeks to or has the effect of shutting down coal-fired power plants is an assault on Pennsylvania jobs, consumers, and those citizens who rely upon affordable, abundant domestic energy," Corbett added in a statement.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposal suggests that Pennsylvania cut 2012 carbon emissions by about a third by 2030. Some other states that use more coal would have to make even greater cuts. The proposal sets off a complex regulatory process in which each state will determine how to meet targets set by the EPA, then submit those plans for approval. Power companies could achieve reductions in several ways, from improving energy efficiency to encouraging lower-carbon sources of power, such as wind or natural gas.
"I'm delighted that the EPA rules have the flexibility built into them to include other low-pollution sources, and are not limited at the power plant fence," said Jay Apt, an electric power expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Apt said coal could still be a significant source of power in Pennsylvania if the industry embraces new technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Pippy, of the coal alliance, called for "a commonsense approach that reduces emissions within what science and technology allow."
Pennsylvania environmental groups welcomed the plan.
"This will put us on the path of meeting the science-based reductions necessary" to avoid even more extreme global warming impacts, said Adam Garber, field director for PennEnvironment.
"This is a great day for the environment," said Christina Simeone, director of the PennFuture Energy Center. But Simeone noted that a surge of cheaper natural gas from the Marcellus Shale was already pushing power companies to shut down some coal plants.
"The reality is coal is being outcompeted. Gas is cheaper, and gas is cleaner," Simeone said.
Pittsburgh will host one of four national public hearings on the plan. The hearing is scheduled for July 31. | <urn:uuid:ddac8d12-48c7-43be-8961-da8b3c4b20a0> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,699 |

oregoncoin Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 You know you're staring at your 18th-century Russian copper too much when you think everything is double struck, clashed, struck on older coins, struck on foreign coins, etc. It's easy to imagine things that aren't there after a while. That said, does anyone have any pics of common circulating Swedish copper coins from the 1600s and 1700s that could have been used by Russian mints as blanks for their coins? It seems to me that some coins would be more likely candidates than others. That is, Swedish coins whose circulating value was about the price of copper or lower at the time would have been great to use as blanks. Imagine the hassle and expense of melting down a bunch of copper, rolling it out into even sheets, punching out coin blanks, etc. - especially when it's cold outside. Compare that to the relative ease of sending some guys to a neighboring country to collect a few wagon loads of copper coins, or offering neighboring country banks a small premium to export copper specie. I actually wonder if Russia's constant switching around of copper standards was related to similar switching around in Sweden, and vice versa? Were the two locked in a parallel monetary/economic warfare of sorts? Was this the reason for what seem to be repeated attempts to decouple copper coins' face value and intrinsic value throughout the 18th century (think of those little copper dalers from the early 17-teens that caused problems in Sweden, and little copper kopeks of the late 1720s, or experiments like plate money and the Sestroretsk ruble). Were those attempts to prevent mass export of coins as blanks, or were coin weights, compositions (harder=more difficult to use as blanks), and designs (higher relief=more difficult to use as blanks) carefully calculated so as not to correspond to any even denominations of the neighbor or to otherwise make their use as blanks attractive? I'm thinking of the polushkas and dengas of the 1730s to 1750s - most years mass-produced in hard copper alloys, in odd weights that don't exactly correspond to other circulating coins, with the Russian crest in very high relief. Perhaps that's why most of those coins are still around, whereas it seems like most large kopeks (of both main designs) of Peter and 1727(?) groshes got used as denga blanks, most small kopeks of Catherine I and Peter II got used as polushka blanks, most Baroque/"Dalquest" kopeks got used as 2 kopek blanks under Elizabeth and Catherine II and 4 kopek blanks under Peter III, etc. Was recoining used as much to stifle public memory of past royalty as it was to cause coinage shortages and economic problems in neighboring countries? I'm sure someone out there knows the real answer - I'm just purely speculating. I also want to see some actual pics of Swedish coins to get a better idea of whether my own coins really have crowns, arrows, etc., under the designs of some of my Catherine II copper dengas, kopeks, and 2 kopek coins, or if I'm just imagining things.

You probably remember that residents from Ledyard, East Haven, Milford, Madison, Branford, and Guilford all reported loud booming sounds accompanied by a big flash of light at around 10 pm along the shoreline in south-central CT on April 19 2013. However, the source of these mystery booms remained unexplained. Many thought it was a small thunderstorm passing by. But according to some posts and comments on this blog, many followers did not believe this was the cause. A meteorite? Most probably!
Well what is sure is that the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History confirmed that a baseball-sized meteorite crashed the roof of a Wollcott CT resident at around 10 P.M., on April 19 2013, so during the same night. What a coincidence, hey? In a previous posts I demonstrated that meteors are sometimes creating weird noises such as sonic booms or shock waves generated by meteorite fragmentation when entering Earth’s atmosphere.
The explosions can be heard over large areas, depending on the size of the meteorite that is breaking up. Moreover, the Lyrids meteor shower had its peak just at the same time as demonstrated by this amazing fireball footage caught from the sky over Argentina. Are the Lyrids a coincidence? Could sonic booms heard along the shoreline be also related to a meteor strike, a fireball explosion or even a meteorite impact?
This map shows the distance between the fall location in Wolcott CT, and the different locations where the loud booms were reported at around 10 P.M. on April 19 2013. Ledyard is about 50 miles away and East Haven about 20 Miles from Wolcott. This is the third recorded meteorite to land on a house in Connecticut. The previous two fell in 1971 and 1982, both in Wethersfield. | <urn:uuid:f95ae1aa-ae0d-4e67-9c81-1ab004090299> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,727 |
color of their bracelet as a fashion choice, and they may have several bracelets in their possession so that they could color-coordinate a bracelet with their current outfit. For others, the color may simply represent a favorite color or it may represent a particular person or event in the wearer’s life.
But for an increasing number of people, the color of a silicone bracelet signifies the wearer’s awareness of a particular cause or medical condition. The size and location of a colored silicone bracelet makes it a more subtle and unobtrusive reminder than other forms of wearable insignias, from a ribbon placed squarely on the chest to a T-shirt spelling out a cause outright.
Causes, however, cannot claim exclusive rights to any particular color. Because of this, quite a few colors may represent more than a single cause:
Dystonia (a kind of neurological disorder that causes twisting, repetitive movements, and even abnormal postures)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease or GERD
Lymphedema, or lymphatic obstruction
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Myalgic Encephalopathy, though the general public often refers to it as chronic fatigue syndrome
Reye’s Syndrome, a rare but potentially deadly disease that may affect the liver and brain, and which occur in children who are recovering from a viral infection
Trisomy 18 or Edwards Syndrome, a kind of genetic disorder
Blue silicone bracelets are used for many different causes, in fact, more causes are probably associated with the blue silicone bracelets than any other color. The biggest right now is the campaign to stop bullies that is big in the UK with blue bracelets that say "Beat Bullying"--ironically these bracelets have apparently become targets for bullies! Other blue bracelets represent general cancer research, prostate cancer support, anti-Bush vote 2004 and tsunami relief. Blue is also used for for autism support; usually the autism support bracelets are a dark navy blue. Also, blue represents domestic violence and child abuse prevention. And, there are blue bracelets that support cystic fibrosis research that say "Breathe".

Lots of healthcare facilities and hospitals have patients wearing custom silicone bracelets so that doctors and nurses can easily identify what they are allergic to. For instance, some patients may suffer from latex allergy while some might have dust allergies. Bands of green, red, pink and various other colors are used in order to isolate patients on the basis of the allergies that they suffer from. As these are constructed out of silicone, these are lower in cost.
Such bracelets are also used for supporting different causes and raising awareness about specific causes. It was first in 2004 that cyclist Lance Armstrong used bright yellow colored wristbands in order to raise awareness and money for his cancer research organization. Since that time, bands of various colors have been used by different charitable organizations for varied charitable purposes. These include purple for Alzheimer’s disease, pink for breast cancer, blue for cystic fibrosis, red for AIDS and diabetes and so on.
Making Style Statement
Such kinds of bands are highly fashionable and you can find lots of men and women sporting them simply to make a fashion statement. These are attractive for people of all ages, and even children are found to wear them for making powerful style statements. There are highly colorful bracelets available over online stores, which can be customized according to your own preferences. Such bracelets also come with beautiful designs and shapes imprinted on them. Many people also use other features in order to make their custom silicone bracelets much better and look more beautiful than simple bands.
These are also used for promoting brands and businesses. You can use these as promotional mediums to make your business message reach out to your potential customers. These are extremely popular advertising mediums, and the best thing about them is possibly the fact that they can be created on extremely short budget. These bands can be mass-produced and freely distributed among the public, helping a business get noticed by a larger section of public and attract more and more consumers. As these custom silicone bracelets are very long-lasting, they can be used by businesses for promoting their business messages for a long time.
Custom silicone bracelets also make amazing low-cost gifts for friends and family members, and these can be used to match with various types of dresses. You can even wear them to parties and social occasions, without looking out of place. As these are durable, you can make them last for a long time and this is the reason why they can make excellent gifts.

A glow in dark silicone bracelet is made by the same technology with the normal bracelet but adding the glow powder .
The powder can be added into the band body or the ink for the printed or debossed colorfilled style bracelet. The glow powder is eco as well as the silicone material bracelet.
When absorbs enough strong light before being put in the dark, it glows blue, green or red depending on the style of the glow power. The glow will last for hours and gradually weaken. But when reabsorbs the light , it glows again like original shows.
It is the most favorable item for the night event. It looks so good in the dark reflecting the logo custom. Hope this can help you for the glow in dark silicone bracelets.

Full details of the huge portfolio of property managed by central government departments have been released for the first time by the Cabinet Office as part of the government's open government initiative.
The snapshot of ePIMS, the UK's central property register, shows central government owns more than 16 million square metres of property and land across the UK – six times the area of the City of London.
The Cabinet Office says the data shows the government is on track to save around £100m from the Government's transparency costs over the year.
The government estate comprises more than 13,900 buildings and land plots, including 40 laboratories and 18 museums.
Every property with a fixed postcode is plotted on the map below, with details of which department owns the building, what it's used for, and how big it is:
Office space makes up around 40% of the buildings on the register, and the public sector workers housed therein enjoy around 16% more space per person than their private sector counterparts – a roomy 13 square metres per employee.
They may soon need to squash up, however, as the Cabinet Office release warns this means "many buildings could be run more efficiently" in its bid to secure further savings from the estate.
Mirroring the empty commercial properties across the nation, more than 550 buildings on the register are currently unoccupied, with a further 70 set to be empty in the near future. The cabinet office usually attempts to sub-let or sell such space.
The full data can be obtained directly from the Cabinet Office website here. | <urn:uuid:fe1bcd8e-c80b-4555-be1e-b788b785dcba> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,570 |
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) Specification
W3C Recommendation 01-October-1996
Table of contents
To allow new chunk types to be added to PNG, it is necessary to
establish rules about the ordering requirements for all chunk types.
Otherwise a PNG editing program cannot know what to do when it
encounters an unknown chunk.
We define a "PNG editor" as a program that modifies a PNG file and
wishes to preserve as much as possible of the ancillary information in
the file. Two examples of PNG editors are a program that adds or modifies
text chunks, and a program that adds a suggested palette to a truecolor
PNG file. Ordinary image editors are not PNG editors in this
sense, because they usually discard all unrecognized information while
reading in an image. (Note: we strongly encourage programs handling PNG
files to preserve ancillary information whenever possible.)
As an example of possible problems, consider a hypothetical new
ancillary chunk type that is safe-to-copy and is required to appear
after PLTE if PLTE is present. If our program to
add a suggested PLTE does not recognize this new
chunk, it may insert PLTE in the wrong place, namely after
the new chunk. We could prevent such problems by requiring PNG
editors to discard all unknown chunks, but that is a very unattractive
solution. Instead, PNG requires ancillary chunks not to have ordering
restrictions like this.
To prevent this type of problem while allowing for future extension,
we put some constraints on both the behavior of PNG editors and the
allowed ordering requirements for chunks.
The rules for PNG editors are:
These rules are expressed in terms of copying chunks from an input
file to an output file, but they apply in the obvious way if a PNG
file is modified in place.
When copying an unknown unsafe-to-copy ancillary chunk, a PNG editor
must not move the chunk relative to any critical chunk. It can relocate
the chunk freely relative to other ancillary chunks that occur between
the same pair of critical chunks. (This is well defined since the
editor must not add, delete, modify, or reorder critical chunks if it is
preserving unknown unsafe-to-copy chunks.)
When copying an unknown safe-to-copy ancillary chunk, a PNG editor must
not move the chunk from before IDAT to after IDAT or
vice versa. (This is well defined because IDAT is always
present.) Any other reordering is permitted.
When copying a known ancillary chunk type, an editor need
only honor the specific chunk ordering rules that exist for that chunk
type. However, it can always choose to apply the above general rules
PNG editors must give up on encountering an unknown critical chunk
type, because there is no way to be certain that a valid file will
result from modifying a file containing such a chunk. (Note that
simply discarding the chunk is not good enough, because it might
have unknown implications for the interpretation of other chunks.)
Chunk naming conventions.
The ordering rules for an ancillary chunk type cannot be any stricter
The actual ordering rules for any particular ancillary chunk type may
be weaker. See for example the ordering rules for the standard
ancillary chunk types
(Summary of standard chunks).
- Unsafe-to-copy chunks can have ordering requirements relative to
- Safe-to-copy chunks can have ordering requirements relative to
Decoders must not assume more about the positioning of any
ancillary chunk than is specified by the chunk ordering rules.
In particular, it is never valid to assume that a specific ancillary
chunk type occurs with any particular positioning relative to other
ancillary chunks. (For example, it is unsafe to assume that your
private ancillary chunk occurs immediately before IEND.
Even if your application always writes it there, a PNG editor might
have inserted some other ancillary chunk after it. But you can
safely assume that your chunk will remain somewhere between
IDAT and IEND.)
Critical chunks can have arbitrary ordering requirements, because PNG
editors are required to give up if they encounter unknown critical
chunks. For example, IHDR has the special ordering rule that
it must always appear first. A PNG editor, or indeed any PNG-writing
program, must know and follow the ordering rules for any critical
chunk type that it can emit.

Insecure Work and Family Violence
Family violence (or, depending on the circumstances and jurisdiction, domestic violence or intimate partner violence) is an issue which has (rightly) been highly publicised in the Australian media for several years now. Rosie Batty, in particular, has elevated this issue to national prominence following her own traumatic and highly publicised circumstances during 2014. Her recognition as Australian of the Year in 2015 is a testament to her own courage and tenacity as an advocate for those affected by the scourge of family violence.
Family violence does not discriminate. It can be found across all cultures and all socioeconomic backgrounds. While there may be some disagreement about the exact statistics (which are likely also affected by under-reporting of family violence), certain trends are clear. Family violence is an issue which overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) affects women. The ABC’s Fact Check unit reflects other studies in contending that women are victims of family violence three times more than men.
Universities are not immune from what has been described as an ‘epidemic’. It is, however, only in recent years that universities have come to recognise the importance of providing domestic violence leave for their employees. In 2011 Michelle Brocker, an incredibly brave advocate on the issue of domestic violence, led an effort to convince her own university – Swinburne University – to provide this leave. In 2013 the National Tertiary Education Union used International Women’s Day to recognise that domestic violence was not just a social and economic issue, but also an industrial issue. Throughout subsequent rounds of enterprise bargaining, universities saw the merits of this point and included provisions which guaranteed access to domestic violence leave. Unfortunately, like many other workplace rights, this did not extend to casually employed university staff.
There are more than 100,000 casuals employed in the tertiary education sector nationally, forming the majority of academic teaching staff and a high percentage of professional staff. The casualisation of academia is an important issue, and affects both the ability of staff to teach to their full potential, and the quality of the student experience. What is also clear is that there is a gendered dimension to casual work – casually employed staff are more likely to be women. When it comes to family and intimate partner violence, however, one thing is so obvious that it should not need to be stated – casually employed staff are not immune.
Victorian Casuals Council and Domestic Violence Leave
In Victoria, university casuals have organised themselves into the Victorian Casuals Council (VCC). This group of NTEU members meets regularly, and the women members of the VCC decided to lead a campaign on this important issue to coincide with Blue Stocking Week – a week which annually focuses on the role of women in higher education. Such a step is both important and necessary – at the beginning of the campaign only Swinburne University extended its domestic violence leave provisions to casual staff (Deakin University and La Trobe University have subsequently agreed to this provision).
The campaign, calling on university Vice-Chancellors to #makethepledge to extend domestic violence leave to casually employed staff, was recently launched during 2016’s Blue Stocking Week. Liana Papoutsis, a human rights advocate and leading advisor on family violence, gave a powerful speech which highlighted both the importance of leave but also appropriate family violence training at universities. Liana’s expertise was evident – she is currently working with the Victorian Government as a member of the Victim Advisory Support Council and advises the Department of Premier and Cabinet. Michelle Brocker, who was so instrumental in achieving domestic violence leave provisions at Swinburne, also gave a stirring speech which emphasised the absolute necessity of leave for staff affected by domestic violence.
As part of the campaign, letters were sent to university Vice-Chancellors detailing the need for the extension of this provision to casually employed staff so they are able to find safety for both themselves and their families. While the VCC had hoped to announce that Vice-Chancellors had agreed that this leave was important and guaranteed that it will apply to casually employed staff – this was unfortunately not the case. Swinburne University had previously agreed to this right, and Deakin University and La Trobe University have also indicated that they will move to ensure casually employed staff are included. Other Victorian universities (at the time of writing), had unfortunately failed to respond or indicated that this important issue will be put off until future rounds of enterprise bargaining – and by implication bartered for like any other workplace right. This response is disappointing and grossly inadequate, and fails to acknowledge the profoundly difficult circumstances that staff members find themselves in through no fault of their own. It further highlights that to ensure even the most basic and necessary rights for casual staff, collective action to pressure university management is necessary.
While it should not take a highly visible campaign of collective action to move university management into line with broader Australian community expectations, those involved in campaigning for rights and conditions for casual university staff know that even the most sensible, well-reasoned and intelligently argued positions will meet resistance from university managements which seek to deny these rights. Workplace conditions such as domestic violence leave, paid parental leave and even the right to be paid for work performed are resisted at every turn. The #makethepledge campaign highlights clearly that outcomes for casually employed workers need to be secured through collective action, rather than the benevolence or goodwill of university management.

Known as "The Glitch," Vanellope is a pixelating programming mistake in the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush. With a racer's spirit embedded in her coding, Vanellope is determined to earn her place in the starting lineup amongst the other racers. Only problem: The other racers don't want her or her glitching in the game. 15 years of rejection had left Vanellope with a wicked sense of humor and a razor-sharp tongue. However, somewhere beneath that hard shell is a sweet center just waiting to be revealed. See her full article by clicking here.

Non-Standard Usage Is this an informal exclamation or an emphasis mark? No, it's neither an exclamation nor an emphasis. It's used for [Informal] Showing a casual, lively mood. This is the situation of your example sentence. In fact, you can put this symbol freely if you are not so serious, and the number of waves is not strict. ...
"的" in this case means "certainly", "really", "I am sure that..." as the conclusion says in your question. For me, such sentences are the same. 我会去看他的。 我一定会去看他。 You can say "我一定会去看他的".

Emphasis mark (underneath dots) is the Chinese counterpart of italics. In printing, besides emphasis mark, fonts are used for distinguishing purposes. Bold (黑体) is also considered as a different font (rather than a variation of the same font). In handwriting, people use straight underline and tilde underline.
Your example is just an example of possessive elision in Chinese. Both are acceptable and considered equivalent. None of the two has more emphasis than the other. One thing to note is there are two different types of emphasis, one being the emphasis of tone/mood, the other being the emphasis of meaning. In your case, it's the former. In English, the first ...
I think bold or italics or any other typographical emphasis is the wrong way to go here.

The African Union appoints Mr. Dileita Mohamed Dileita as Special Envoy for Libya
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, June 12, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- The Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union (AU), Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, today announced the appointment of Mr. Dileita Mohamed Dileita of Djibouti as her Special Envoy for Libya.
Mr Dileita served as Prime Minister of the Republic of Djibouti from 2001 to 2013 and President of the Union for the Presidential Majority (UMP) until 2012. Mr. Dileita has also previously served as Djibouti's Ambassador to Ethiopia, the Organization of African Unity and Uganda. Mr Dileita is currently a serving member of the AU High-Level Panel for Egypt.
The decision to appoint an AU Special Envoy for Libya comes as a follow-up to the press statement adopted by the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC) at its 436th meeting held on 23 May 2014. In that press statement, Council expressed deep concern at the prevailing situation on the ground and its far-reaching consequences for Libya and its people, as well as for the region as a whole and the rest of the continent. Council also encouraged the Chairperson of the Commission to urgently appoint a special Envoy who would undertake consultations with the Libyan authorities and other relevant stakeholders, as well as with the countries of the region, with the view to submitting to it a comprehensive report on the situation, including concrete recommendations on how best the AU can further support the stabilization process in Libya and the early completion of the current transition.
In the discharge of his mandate, the Special Envoy will engage with the Libyan authorities and other stakeholders in support of the efforts aimed at stabilizing the situation in the country, promoting national reconciliation and facilitating the early completion of the current transition. He will closely coordinate his action and initiatives with the neighboring countries and AU partners, including the United Nations, the League of Arab States, the European Union and other relevant bilateral actors. He will be supported on the ground by the AU Liaison Office in Tripoli.
In the meantime, the Chairperson of the Commission reiterates AU's call on all Libyan stakeholders to put the supreme interest of their country above any other consideration, resolutely commit themselves to settle their differences through peaceful means and embark upon the path of national reconciliation, in fulfillment of the legitimate aspirations of their people for democracy, the rule of law and socio-economic wellbeing. | <urn:uuid:dada8503-d4c9-4318-8b89-52981ac495b1> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,603 |

Ram Jethmalani's daily dose of 10 questions to the prime minister
The crutch for Jethmalani's crusade was his recent visit to Sweden to conduct his own independent inquiry into the Bofors pay-off scandal. On his return, he framed his first set of 10 questions for Rajiv - all relating to the Bofors deal, and pledged to produce 10 questions for Rajiv every day for the next 30 days, or, as he put it, "till you are removed from office, whichever is earlier". He also challenged Rajiv to sue him for libel. Rajiv, however, only made matters worse by his undignified reaction to the crusade when he snapped: "I do not have to reply to every dog that barks." Jethmalani's riposte was rapier-sharp. Terming himself a watchdog, he quipped, "watch dogs only bark at thieves".
Since then, Jethmalani's so-called exposes are eagerly awaited and dissected each morning by newspaper readers all across the country. But obviously, the celebrated criminal lawyer has some anonymous help since what started as an extension of the Bofors controversy, has expanded into a free-wheeling tour de force covering the entire scope of controversies involving the prime minister. It has so far included Rajiv's relationship with Ajitabh Bachchan, Ajitabh's role in the Kamla Nehru Trust, Rajiv's Spanish brother-in-law Jose Valdemorc, Sonia's inheritance of her father's estate, cars gifted to Rajiv by the king of Jordan, Rajiv's use of Doon School friend L.M. Thapar's plane and the missing Win Chaddha.
The questions themselves elicited mixed reactions. Some were based on hard investigations during his trip to Sweden, some based on reports by various official and journalistic sources, and some even on information that had begun to pour in from interested readers to Jethmalani's new office of convenience at the Indian Express headquarters in Delhi. But the changing nature of the questions - many were in fact the same question but put in different ways - blunted the thrust of the campaign and suggested that he would find it hard to sustain it through 300 questions.
After the initial sensation, Jethmalani's daily dose of 10 questions to the prime minister has descended to an undisguised exercise in Rajiv-baiting.
What Jethmalani claims he is looking for is simply "a chance to cross-examine those whom I believe to be guilty". Said he: "To arrest a person and begin investigations you need just that much evidence as would be sufficient to raise suspicion. We have a case ten times more powerful than is required." According to Jethmalani: "The prime minister should, on a whiff of suspicion, have the moral courage to step aside for a few days and say: register a case and carry out your investigations."
But if Jethmalani's real objective was to bait the prime minister into a legal wrangle, he was disappointed. The Prime Minister's Secretariat, after Rajiv's initial outburst, has studiously ignored the issue. The prime minister's Information Advisor H.Y. Sharada Prasad says he had no comments to offer. Asked whether the prime minister may possibly sue Jethmalani for libel, Prasad says cryptically: "There are other ways of taking care of it."
Inevitably, the Congress(I) has responded with the Delhi Seva Dal chief Hasan Ahmed, Congress(I) MP Usha Thakkar and Minister of State for Public Enterprises K.K. Tewary raising questions about Jethmalani's background. But whether that was part of an orchestrated and officially sanctioned counter-campaign is still unclear. What is clear is that Jethmalani may eventually prove his point that his "bite is even worse than his bark". | <urn:uuid:23897a16-9a94-4fcc-95fe-545bbbe4e126> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,577 |

Taking the right steps toward addiction recovery can make all the difference in whether or not you’re successful and able to remain drug-free for life.
Path to Recovery
The path to recovery is different for everyone. In general, though, it involves a number of important steps one must take in order to safely and effectively begin a new life free from substance abuse. Here are the main steps you should take in your recovery process.
Ask for Help
When you realize you are suffering from an opioid addiction, it is important to reach out to others and not to feel that you are alone in your recovery process. One of the best ways to find help is to call 844-431-5818(Who Answers?) . Our treatment advisors are here to match you with safe, effective rehab centers that fit your needs. When you call, you can also
- Be matched with rehab programs that will take your insurance plan
- Ask questions about rehab and recovery to be answered by a real treatment expert
- Find information about multiple rehab centers, including their phone numbers and locations
- Build a recovery plan with a treatment expert who can help you create a step-by-step process that will get you into treatment
Even if you have a loved one who is suffering from a substance use disorder, you can call to find a rehab center that will suit their particular needs. Once you have a treatment option lined up for your spouse, friend, or family member, you can begin to plan an intervention.
- Interventions are meetings where the loved ones of an addict come together and tell the addict their concerns about the person’s substance abuse. It is usually the goal of these meetings that the individual enters treatment.
- It is best to have a treatment option in mind for the individual before staging the intervention. This is why one should call 844-431-5818(Who Answers?) and choose the treatment program for their loved one before the intervention begins.
- Interventions usually work best with around 6 people, and everyone should prepare what they will say to the addict beforehand.
- If the person chooses to seek help, this should happen as soon as possible. If they do not, it is important for those who participated in the intervention to be clear about any consequences that will come with this decision. Then, they must stick to these consequences until the individual does decide to seek help.
Once you know how you or your loved one will get the necessary help for an addiction, the next step in the process can begin.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “Effective treatment addresses all of the patient’s needs, not just his or her drug use.” This is why it is so important for someone looking for addiction treatment to find the right rehab center.
During intake, you will participate in an interview. The interview might involve questions about your substance abuse history, including which drugs you have abused in the past, how much and how often you use, and whether or not you have previously received any treatment for addiction.
You should also ask any questions you may have before choosing a particular rehab center. You will want to ensure that your treatment program
- Provides the type of treatment options you need most
- Lasts the necessary length of time for your safe recovery, which, in most cases, is 90 days or longer (NIDA)
- Offers any additional amenities or accommodations you will require
- For example, some people need certain accommodations because of their religion, culture, age, gender, etc.
When you find a treatment center that offers everything you require, you can begin your recovery safely and within a professional environment.
Detox is usually the first step of a professional treatment process, but it is certainly not the last step in one’s recovery. According to the National Library of Medicine, narcotic addicts who complete detox but do not continue to the next phase of treatment put themselves in serious danger of relapse.
Detox is the process by which one is weaned off their dependence on addictive drugs. In narcotic addiction recovery, medications are often used because, without them, withdrawal from opioids can be extremely painful. Clonidine, methadone, and buprenorphine are the most popular detox medications for opioid abusers.
- Patients are slowly weaned off the medication so they will not experience the painful and uncomfortable effects of withdrawal.
- Withdrawal from opioids often feels like a bad case of the flu. In addition, addicts will experience severe bone, joint, and muscle pain, which can be minimized with the use of detox medications.
Once a person has been successfully weaned off their dependence on opioids, they may begin the rehabilitation step of the recovery process.
Rehab usually involves at least two different treatment options: medication and behavioral therapy. Some individuals may decide to stay maintained on a medication after the initial stabilization process rather than going through detox right away. This option is called medication maintenance.
- Methadone, an opioid agonist, and buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, are the options for medication maintenance for opioid addiction.
- Patients receive their medication whenever necessary (in the case of methadone, daily). The regular dosages minimize withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and maintain the individual so they can focus on recovery.
- Drugs like methadone and buprenorphine when used as maintenance medications can also block the opioid receptors in the brain, which gives patients a lower chance of relapse.
Behavioral therapy is an extremely important part of rehab as well. In fact, it is used more than any other treatment option for addiction recovery (NIDA). In behavioral therapy, patients learn to change their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors toward substance abuse and to focus on healthier coping mechanisms. They can also learn to interact with others in a safer, healthier way and to change the way they think about their addictions.
Some of the most commonly used behavioral therapy options in narcotic addiction treatment include
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Group therapy
- Contingency management
- Motivational enhancement therapy
- 12-step facilitation therapy
- Family therapy
- Couples therapy
A variety of other therapies are also available to effectively treat each person’s individual needs.
Once the patient has finished their rehab program, they can begin the final step of recovery. In truth, this step can last a long time. Living without substance abuse after being addicted takes strength and skill, two things you will gain by attending a professional rehab program. In addition, many individuals turn back to treatment or other options over the course of their long-term recovery.
- Aftercare options can be varied, and depending on your needs, you may want to choose one to help you navigate your recovery.
- Booster sessions are an option for aftercare, allowing a patient to revisit their treatment center a certain number of times after their general rehab program has ended.
- Many individuals choose support groups as an aftercare option, including 12-step programs like Narcotics Anonymous or non-12-step options like SMART Recovery.
- Being a part of a support group can help you immensely during your recovery, as you will strengthen your social support system and continue using the lessons you received in treatment (NIDA).
- Some individuals also choose to stay in a sober living home, which is a facility in which residents pay rent and can live in a drug-and-alcohol-free environment.
Recovery isn’t just about aftercare, though. It’s about living your life in a new way, one that encourages healthy choices and discourages relapse. Of course, relapse is always a possibility, which you must remember in order to safely navigate your recovery. If you do relapse (or feel like you might), it is important to seek help from a friend, a family member, a doctor, etc. You may even want to attend another treatment program to refamiliarize yourself with the lessons of rehab.
The important thing to remember is you can get to a better place in your life if you work hard and choose professional treatment over substance abuse. The path to recovery is long and winding, and sometimes, you may take a step or two backwards. But if you stay focused and remember why you are motivated to quit, you can create a better life for yourself starting today.
Get Help Now
The first step, though, is to seek help. Without professional treatment, it is extremely difficult to create the kind of recovery you want. Let us help you begin your life anew by calling 844-431-5818(Who Answers?) today and speaking with a treatment advisor. We will match you with the best rehab option for your current needs.

Everyone has off days. A case of the Monday’s or a bad night’s sleep can be enough to throw the best of us off our usual course momentarily. But when it’s consistent, unproductive and somewhat toxic energy, you need to address it.
The risks of avoiding the problem
Persistent negative energy can impact the mood and stress levels of everyone, which can affect productivity and customer service. Anxiety feeds on pessimism and a chronic negative working environment can be harmful to both the mental and physical health of your employees.
You also run the risk of alienating customers and suppliers when letting negativity be the tone of your business.
Five steps to tackling negativity
We know that addressing negativity with an employee may be awkward and sometimes lead to a difficult conversation. If you have picked up on bad vibes in your business and are ready to approach the individual, read through our top tips first to make sure your process is effective and compliant.
1.Lead by example
Think hard about your own behaviours and attitudes – are you modelling the kinds of positive vibes you expect from your team? If not (and it’s not just one of those ‘off days’) then consider what needs to change for you to ensure you’re able to lead by example.
2.Have a quiet word
Challenging an employee about their negative attitude in front of others could make the situation worse, it would be safer and more respectful to have a private informal chat.
There is a chance that they hadn’t realised how their actions were being perceived. Or they may decide to use this opportunity to reveal a problem that they have been struggling with.
If they do reveal that there are genuine problems within the workplace, make it a priority to fix them in a timely manner.
3.Support and divert
If the employee fails to acknowledge their negativity and proceeds to blame colleagues, processes or anything but themselves, see if you can change their mindset. Explain the impact of their behaviour, suggest to them alternative ways of thinking and empower them to take control of their own behaviours. Make it clear they must change as the impact on the team cannot go on.
4.Schedule a follow up
Booking in a future 121 lets the employee know that you are monitoring their behaviour and wellbeing. Use the meeting to review any actions agreed from your previous catch up.
An unwillingness to change is bad for business. If you have tried to reason with the employee and they are not showing any signs of improvement, it’s time to start the process of exiting them from the business.
5.Consider the working environment
A proactive approach to dealing with negativity can include making small changes to the working environment. Natural light, vibrant colours and even plants have all been known to boost positivity, inspiration and morale. Could it be time to upgrade your workspace?
Eliminating negativity from your business is not only beneficial for your workforce, but for you too. Happy employees lead to better productivity, happy customers and more business.

There are many interesting facts about Allama Iqbal and his life but unfortunately, very few people are aware of them!
Allama Iqbal, real name Muhammad Iqbal, was born in Sialkot, Punjab, in 1877. He was an Indian Muslim poet and political philosopher.
His popularity is based on not only his poetry but also the development of ideas that led to Pakistan’s formation.
Interesting Facts About Allama Iqbal
Allama Iqbal married three times in his life.
Iqbal’s family arranged his first marriage to Karim Bibi, the daughter of a Gujrati physician, at the age of 18. They split up after having two children, Miraj Begum and Aftab Iqbal.
His second marriage, in 1914, was to Mukhtar Begum, who died during childbirth in 1924. Iqbal afterward married Sardar Begum, with whom he had a son, Javed, and a daughter, Muneera.
Allama Iqbal’s father was a tailor by profession.
Sheikh Noor Muhammad, Iqbal’s father, worked as a tailor. His specialty was embroidering caps for burqas (veils), therefore he did not raise the poet in a lavish lifestyle.
Iqbal’s further education was funded by his brother Atta Muhammad, who worked as a contractor for the British army and provided the funds.
Allama Iqbal has a street named after him in Heidelberg, Germany.
Allama Iqbal, one of Pakistan’s forefathers, spent six months in Heidelberg learning German for his Ph.D. thesis.
“Dr. Mohammad Iqbal, national philosopher, poet, the spiritual father of Pakistan, lived here in 1907,” says a plaque on a generic old building in Neuenheim.
On the bank of the Neckar, there is the Iqbal Ufer, a street named for him.
King George bestowed the title of Sir to Allama Iqbal in 1922.
Iqbal was famous around the world. In 1922, at the age of 45, King George V bestowed the title of ‘sir’ on Iqbal at the New Year Honors ceremony.
Furthermore, Wali Afghanistan Muhammad Nadir Shah presented him with a splendid carpet.
Two of Allama Iqbal’s books were inspired by the sad events of World War 1.
He was shocked by the sad events and tragedies that Muslims had to endure after World War I.
He authored Khizr e Raah (The Guide) and Bang E Dara (The Caravan Bell) to guide them via his poetry and words.
Allama Iqbal passed away from a mysterious throat illness.
Iqbal died in Lahore on 21 April 1938, after suffering for months from an undiagnosable throat illness.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you need to publish more on this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but typically folks don’t discuss these topics. To the next! Cheers!!
I love it when folks come together and share opinions. Great site, keep it up! | <urn:uuid:20110deb-96fa-4b06-85a4-3b973df65ceb> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,036 |
Whether you choose Canon or Nikon, iPhone or Android — no packing list is ever complete without a camera. Here, check out five great destinations that will fill your film (or digital device) with beautiful photos to treasure long after you’ve returned home.
Cityscape: Austin, Texas
Austin — weird or not — offers plenty to capture in a 3×5 photo. From live music on South Congress Avenue to the popular downtown attraction, Barton Springs Pool, Austin is far more than skyscrapers and steel. Only three miles from the water, Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Hotel Ella is picturesque in its own right — with tall, white columns and an Antebellum aesthetic. To see more of Austin’s wacky side, make a stop at the South Austin Popular Culture Center on South Lamar Boulevard. The offbeat collection best illustrates the ’60s and ’70s rock art from the “Armadillo Art Squad,” a group that helped shape Austin’s distinctive culture today.
Natural Beauty: Hocking Hills, Ohio
For hemlock-lined hills and valleys, look no further than the natural beauty of Logan, Ohio. Located an easy 30-minute drive southeast from Columbus, Hocking Hills boasts some of the nation’s most pristine natural attractions, perfect for any photographer’s lens. Hocking Hills State Park includes more than 25 miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, caves and cliffs. In the summer, anticipate crowds during the peak of the day and, in the winter, expect to see frozen waterfalls. During last year’s polar vortex, Ash Cave’s cascading waterfall froze from top to bottom. Drive under an hour to reach the Four-Star The Blackwell in Columbus or, if you want to remain in nature, opt instead for a secluded cabin at the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls, located within a 10-minute drive of the park.
Quirky in Bourbon Country: Louisville
Louisville is the perfect destination for a photographer who wants to capture Southern sophistication while eating and drinking in style. Take the early morning tour of Churchill Downs to capture stills of racehorses in training, or schedule a tour of the Four Roses Distillery in nearby Lawrenceburg for great photos (and a few tasty glasses) of some of the state’s best bourbon. Famed movie director Baz Luhrmann considered Louisville worthy of his camera, too — Daisy and Robert Buchanan’s wedding scene in The Great Gatsby was filmed at The Seelbach Hilton hotel. Enjoy a meal (and a basil gimlet) one mile away at Garage Bar before taking your camera to the four-story antique emporium across the street — Joe Ley Antiques is brimming with art, armchairs and more odd accoutrements than one Pinterest account can handle.
Tropical Treasures: Palm Beach, Florida
From wetlands to ocean views, Palm Beach never ceases to amaze those who love the tropics. Create a picture-perfect itinerary with the concierge at Five-Star Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach with excursions to the International Polo Club Palm Beach, the Everglades or far off the Atlantic Coast for deep-sea fishing. If you’re truly a fan of wildlife, hundreds of species make their home at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands near Delray Beach, including more than 140 species of birds such as bald eagles, red-tailed hawks and anhinga.
Rural Charm: Lancaster, Pennsylvania
In the heart of Pennsylvania Amish Country, Lancaster County is full of rolling hills, grazing livestock and the slow pace of life that makes rural vacations so desirable. In addition to vineyard hopping, mountain zip-lining and noshing around the country’s oldest continuously operating farmers market, Central Market, visitors can tour nearby Amish farms by horse-and- buggy — all perfect fodder for your next Instagram post. Four-Star The Inn at Leola Village has cottages for guests on a romantic getaway, as well as unique suites in the Lancaster House, the property’s main building.

Heard of the term 'web3' in your conversations but are unsure what exactly it means? In this article, we dive into the term, the evolution of the web, and the relevance of web3 - all in one!
The third generation of the world wide web with a primary emphasis on decentralization and blockchain technology.
Nowadays, one cannot imagine life without the Internet. Everything possible is present in the form of the World Wide Web (web2.0 or web2). Internet and the plethora of options provided by it are expanding every day, with new features.
But what if I say that the Internet, as we understand it today, might be undergoing a significant transformation? That’s right. Just as humans evolved from apes to homo sapiens, similarly, the web, from the nascent web1 to web2, is gradually progressing towards the new web3.0 or web3. 🥳
Since web3 is still developing, there is no fixed definition of it. The Ethereum co-founder, Gavin Woods, coined the term ‘web3’ in 2014. However, for general understanding purposes, web3 can be defined as the “read-write-own” form of the Internet. It runs primarily on blockchain technology to make the platform more engaging and user-friendly. It includes cryptocurrencies, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), etc. In other words, users can expect more control and stake in these platforms with the upcoming revolution. 💪🏼
Wouldn’t you rather be part of this revolution? 💭
The evolution of the web
Just as you were not born the way you look, speak, behave, etc., the web had also not been the way it is today. Yes, in the late 20th century, it took birth in the form of web1 from the genius of Tim Berners-Lee.
Initially, the web had no scope for interaction among user-individuals, and the newly created websites were in the hands of a few companies.
Users were only allowed to read and not own or share anything. Owing to this, web1 came to be known as the ‘read-only’ web. 📖
Web2 (2004- Present)
By 2004, the web allowed users not just to have a one-sided interaction (like those one-sided efforts you make for your crush 🙈) but also to write and share their created content with their fellow users.
What does that mean? Unlike the old version, where only the owner companies were able to provide information to people, Web2 allowed the generation of content by users, for users, through the introduction of new platforms (like your favorite platform for reels and YouTube shorts that you spend half of your days on ⌛).
The ‘read-write’ web space has come to be dominated by tech giants like Meta, Google, etc., which monetize content, generating profit for themselves. 🤑
Web3 (the ongoing revolution)
Presently, we have this desire to not just sit and watch but also to own something significant for ourselves. What do we turn towards? The answer is Web3. Sounds weird? But it's not, because the future of the internet is all set to allow its users to not just consume, create and share content, but also to have ownership. 🚀
It can be put this way that with the coming of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, etc., the new web is going to give control to their users. This is done with the aim to decentralize and create open protocols, community-operated networks. According to The New York Times, it will be like a combination of open infrastructures like Web1 and mass or community participation in Web2.
What are the features of web3?
One of the main features of web3 is the absence of any centralized authority. This is very unlike web2, where a few companies have come to control the platforms and benefit from them. With this, anyone, even you and me, can build and own the spaces and content. Users do not need to depend on Instagram or YouTube to monetize their content and they can earn crypto from other users in exchange for their data through the decentralized data networks. 🤗
No, trustless does not imply that web3 cannot be trusted the way your professor couldn’t be trusted when she gave you a list of qs for exams. It is quite the opposite, in fact. 😂 Trustless, in the context of web3, means that the users would be able to interact with one another without the intervention of an intermediary. For instance, in web2, when two users are conversing with each other, the data is handled by a third party and then transferred further. It is evident by the terms and conditions or pop-ups asking users to trust third parties and service providers that the web is based on trust between networks and the people. With web3, the mechanism will change to one, based on incentives in the form of tokens. The overall aim here is to increase the credibility of the web.
With the coming of web3, cryptocurrencies are going to be the medium for sending and receiving money online. All that users are required to do is install a wallet for them and begin transacting (possibly similar to your Paytm or Paypal wallets).
Web3 aims to come up with a ‘permissionless’ space where no gatekeepers can restrict access to the blockchain network, thus creating maximum engagement.
Relevance of web3
You own your shit 🎉
Blockchain technology and decentralization are significant features of web3. Unlike web2, which uses social media sites to store, distribute, and benefit from the content, Web3 allows users to participate in community activities and possess tokens, which are equivalent to monetary assets. With these, the user becomes the owner of their data and is responsible for its security. No one can take this advantage away from them. In web2, tech giants ask for users' data and store their information. All this is provided to marketers for profits which explains your mailbox and SMS (which no one uses otherwise today) being flooded by all sorts of promotions and stuff. It'd be so good if this stops because aren't you already tired of clearing your space everyday? 😜
Censorship has become an indispensable feature of web2 in the sense that if one creates an account on any social platform, they have to trust the owners not to make any such changes that may negatively impact their content and data, or worse censor some content as ‘unfavorable’ from their perspective. The web has become a major hindrance in the accessibility of information as it now focusses on censoring and silencing out those whom it thinks of as unconventional. Since the web3 is a platform wherein you own everything and it is free from a centralized authority, it is essentially an anti-censoring space.
How many accounts do you have across various social media platforms today? Probably, different usernames and IDs for different spaces like Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, etc. In the web3 space however, your wallet is your singular identity. Your identity is only split by the chains you use. For example, you have your MetaMask (A wallet for EVM Chains) Public Address as your singular ID for all the Dapps and transactions on Ethereum. And similarly, you have your Solana’s Public Address as your singular identity for all things on the Solana chain.
For instance, if my public key is ‘xyz’ (it’ll be a long random list of letters and numbers), I can use it to be identified throughout the blockchain for any transactions. Sometimes, people use ENS or SNS wrappers, for instance, njdkfhehru874871904njnd reduced to anon.eth or anon.sol; this then acts as their public key identifier as well.
Knowledge of web3 will become indispensable in the future
2004 onwards, i.e., after the introduction of Web2, users may have initially faced obstacles in integrating themselves into web2. Now, tbh, in today’s world, one cannot think of surviving without the knowledge of the internet. Similarly, when Web3 is all set to become the future of the internet, knowledge of its functioning is bound to become indispensable.
This is not to suggest, however, that you should purchase, own, or invest in something on the new web without doing proper research. DYOR!
You're almost there!
So, we expect that you at least got the slightest idea about what all of the hype about web3, its features, etc. is about. You have sufficient time to process all of this because the transformation is not going to happen overnight (just like Rome wasn’t built overnight 🏗️). Think about it, discuss it with your peers, different communities online, and experts, and do in-depth research about it.
Now that you have an idea about web3, let's understand how blockchain technology forms the basis of web3.

Rice Supervisors Miller Stella and George Venesky approved a 10-year contract with the Wright Township Volunteer Fire Company at a special meeting Wednesday September 25. Minority supervisor Marcia Thomas voted No.
Rice Solicitor Bill Higgs and an unnamed attorney for Wright Township Volunteer Fire Company drew up the 9-page contract. Higgs was unable to remember the name of the fire company attorney and said he would look it up in his files and get back to the Eagle later. The Eagle also contacted Wright Fire Chief Dave Pettit asking for the same information. At press time Higgs and Pettit had not responded.
Rice will pay Wright a minimum of $30,000 for 2014 and for subsequent years until 2023. The yearly cost will be based on population and consumer price indexes. If the contract is broken by Rice Township, the total cost of payments for the 10-year contract will be immediately due up to $39,000 per year or $390,000.
Rice will pay for 37% of the workman’s compensation insurance bill for the Wright Volunteer Fire Company, as Rice encompasses that same percentage of the total coverage area of Rice and Wright Townships. Attorney Higgs said the Workman’s Comp figure is compiled by Harrisburg, who sends the bill out annually.
In addition Rice Township will build or make available a garage for Wright Fire Equipment within 24 months or pay an additional $500 per month until a garage is built. If expanded emergency services or additional work is agreed to and implemented Rice Township will change the financial terms to reflect the additional cost.
Rice Auditor Janeann Lokken questioned the board about the parameters of the 9-page contract before the vote commenting on the 10-year term as being excessive. Miller Stella said that in negotiating the contract with Wright Township provision was made for acquiring equipment that would be needed over the years.
Barb Deaton objected to putting a Wright fire truck in the township garage, and therefore parking the townships’ road trucks and equipment out in the weather. George Venesky said that the equipment would be covered with tarps and a carport would be built to shelter it from weather.
Ronald Black, Heslop Road said he had experience of 50 years writing contracts and the fire department contract on the table was “ludicrous and asinine” and a “piece of garbage.” “There is no protection for Rice Township. You have already spent double. The next board of supervisors must vacate this contract,” continued Black.
Mary Ann Whitonis warned the board, “When the political tables change, an ordinance can be passed to decertify Wright Township.” She said the Independence Fire Company is answering calls from the former Rice Twp. Volunteer Fire Company location. Minority Supervisor Marcia Thomas said that the more emergency services, the better for all. | <urn:uuid:eb2a400d-312e-42b0-90de-0189c800ee75> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,830 |

Punjab’s new five-year electric vehicle policy has been designed to increase the number of annual electric vehicle registrations in the state by 25% over the next five years. Bearing in mind the potential of electric vehicles as a long-term sustainable solution, the dedicated policy of the state government will also encourage electric vehicles and the manufacture of electric vehicle components with emphasis on mobility and a cleaner job.
The EV policy is designed to have a direct and indirect impact on several United Nations Sustainable Goals (SDGs). It will also exempt EVs from paying the fees for issuing or renewing the registration certificate and granting the new registration. The latter complies with GSR 525(E) notification dated August 2, 2021 in Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, Rule 81.
Apart from this, road taxes of all electric vehicles registered in Punjab will also be exempt during the five-year period of the policy. A detailed annual report will also be carried out during these years.
The incentives mentioned above will only be applicable during the period of the policy, however, the Ministry of Transportation may change the period of the policy or any of the clauses of this policy with appropriate notifications.
The EV policy further recognizes the need to promote cleaner mobility in – Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, Amritsar and Bhatinda. These five cities contribute 50% of vehicle emissions in the state and these cities are collectively referred to as the target cities.
Also, the policy will help –
Promote the creation of public and private electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the state
Make Punjab a preferred destination for the manufacture of electric vehicles, components and batteries.
Make the state an electric vehicle R&D center led by a center of excellence.
Enable job creation and introduce professional and academic training programs that will meet the human resource needs of the electric vehicle ecosystem.
Minimize damage to the environment by encouraging the recycling and reuse of used batteries.
Reduce vehicle emissions by the end of his term | <urn:uuid:df8fcd2e-a057-4382-aeb9-b5bf1ea954c9> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,111 |

That's just silly. DHCP is a internet standard protocol, with a lot of
functionality that makes it far superior to BOOTP, (e.g., DHCP has
support for more fields, and multiple DHCP servers can serve the same
subnet for increased reliability). DHCP has three modes of operation,
one which assigns addresses dynamically (for a finite period), one which
assigns addresses automatically (but permanently), and one which assigns
them statically. How is BOOTP easier to administer because you _have to_
map every MAC to an IP? DHCP does everything BOOTP does, and far more.
Yes, MS uses DHCP, but it also uses TCP; should we get rid of TCP also?
P.S. Some of the UNIX manufacturers ship with DHCP support by default:
e.g., when you plug a new SGI into your network it tries to configure
itself via DHCP. I guess it is used outside MS. | <urn:uuid:4b9a8d3c-d05d-45fb-961e-a22eca6183d4> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,402 |

Tens of phone calls have been received by the television channel, whereby callers made the smart point that they had seen the protesters eating from KFC, and that this was proof that they have foreign agendas. They seem to believe that no one can eat from the American chain without being an agent of foreign forces.
KFC’s loyalties in the conflict still aren’t quite clear yet. Amil Khan reports that one hired pro-Mubarak thug reported being promised "a Coke and a Kentucky Fried Chicken meal deal" to rough up anti-Mubarak protesters.

In this book, the author presents 20 most common questions asked by non-muslims, Dr Zakir Naik answers the questions in the most logical and acceptable manner clearing most misconceptions the non-muslims have on Muslims and Islam in general.
- Why is a man allowed to have more than one wife in Islam? i.e. why is polygamy allowed in Islam?
- If a man is allowed to have more than one wife, then why does Islam prohibit a woman from having more than one husband?
- Why does Islam degrade women by keeping them behind the veil?
- How can Islam be called the religion of peace when it was spread by the sword?
- Why are most of the Muslims fundamentalists and terrorists?
- Killing an animal is a ruthless act. Why then do Muslims consume non-vegetarian food?
- Why do Muslims slaughter the animal in a ruthless manner by torturing it and slowly and painfully killing it?
- Science tells us that whatever one eats, it has an effect on one's behaviour. Why then, does Islam allow Muslims to eat non-vegetarian food, since eating of animals could make a person violent and ferocious?
- When Islam is against idol worship why do the Muslims worship, and bow down to the Kaaba in their prayer?
- Why are non-Muslims not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah?
- Why is the eating of pork forbidden in Islam?
- Why is the consumption of alcohol prohibited in Islam?
- Why are two witnesses who are women, equivalent to only one witness who is a man?
- How can you prove the existence of hereafter, i.e. life after death?
- When all the Muslim follows one and the same Qur'an then why there are so many sects and different schools of thoughts among Muslims?
- All religions basically teach followers to do good deeds. Why should a person only follow Islam? Can he not follow any of the religions?
- If Islam is the best religion, why are many of the Muslims dishonest, unreliable, and involved in activities such as cheating, bribing, dealing in drugs, etc.?
- Why do Muslims abuse non-Muslims by calling them 'Kafirs'?

Last month, Volvo strongly condemned bio-diesel, suggesting it was 10 times more carcinogenic than low-sulfur diesel. Now it has backed down from its hardline stance.
Volvo Car UK had previously quoted research by the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, but now says this work "does not allow direct conclusions about corresponding emissions from diesel engines. [But] Volvo Cars' experiences indicate some questionable environmental characteristics" and consumer disadvantages.
Volvo's early stance (Drive, May 11) brought a vigorous local response, especially from Parramatta engineer Sanjay Chatterjay, whose vision if for a self-sufficient Australia.
He says his analyses, compiled over the past decade, demonstrate that an "Ozdiesel" project could be sustainable and renewable.
By his reckoning, Australia could produce a billion litres of bio-diesel a year by 2010, using up to 90 percent canola oil and 10-15 percent tallow. The canola industry harvests about 2.1 million tonnes a year and employs about 15,000.
To reach that production target, with associated economic benefit to regional areas, would require about eight percent of Australia's diesel-engined fleet to run on bio-diesel.
There also would be a huge reduction in toxic emissions, especially as catalytic converters could be used on diesel engines running on a fuel which doesn't contain sulfur.
A useful bio-diesel by-product would be glycerine, which Australia now imports.
Would you drive a car than runs on canola oil?

Several books have been written by justly famous authors and historians of India’s struggle for freedom which is the major strand in any consideration of the history of modern India. But these volumes are extensive and in-depth studies, and often suffer from an overemphasis on one aspect at the cost of another. The present small effort, however, brings together various aspects of the turbulent period (from the arrival of the Europeans on Indian soil and the establishment of British rule in India to the day India won independence and the early years of freedom) in a systematic and succinct manner: major and important details and milestones are effectively discussed while several relevant but little known details are also highlighted.

There are two reasons why notebook batteries erode
The first factor is higher temperature. It is observed that higher temperature discharges the battery sooner. Second factor is charging and discharging cycle of a battery dwindle its capacity. This happens when the battery is not allowed to discharge fully and then charge again. Laptops batteries which are kept idle tend to lose charge at a very fast rate than regularly used batteries. There is a particular level in all batteries, which varies from manufacture to manufacture, when it goes down, adaptors provide the extra charge. Unlike earlier nickel batteries, today's lithium batteries works able-bodied, when they are charge well and not left discharged until 0% of their capacity. Here are few smart tips to follow in order to get higher performance- * Are you using laptop battery for the first time? Charge it at least 5 hours before using. * Keep laptop / battery in cool place. * If the laptop is not being used, then unplug the batteries from the machine. * Don't wait for your laptop battery to get discharged completely. * If the laptop is not being used, there is no need to charge it! These above mentioned tips are applicable for other devices too. So the next time when you buy a laptop battery you will be glad to get a higher return on Investment. | <urn:uuid:0f8bce62-6897-4730-962f-b19985014679> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,321 |

In this “Road To NASDAQ” series, I’m sharing some of the growth drivers that make AvePoint such a dynamic and exciting company. I have previously covered how we will grow through product innovation, and now I’d like to turn and look at how we will grow by enabling channel partners to scale their business with AvePoint products.
In addition to selling direct to customers, there are many indirect routes-to-market in the IT ecosystem. Local value-added resell (VAR), managed service provider (MSP), global system integrators, consulting services, eCommerce resellers, distributors, and B2B Marketplaces—all of these business models comprise “the channel.”
One of the reasons why the channel is important to AvePoint is because utilizing the channel scales growth without scaling costs.
The channel will be a force multiplier that can help AvePoint significantly expand market reach and help accelerate the number of customers AvePoint serves. Our goal is to turn our channel business into a significant part of our revenue mix in the next three years.
Three Ways Channel Partners Can Grow Their Business With AvePoint
1. Mutual Profitability
The most important item in any business relationship is that it’s mutually beneficial and profitable. AvePoint is well-positioned to help managed service providers and other partners grow through selling solutions as a result of our broad portfolio of Microsoft 365 data management solutions.
As I told CRN in their “CEO Outlook 2021” article, the daily number of active users for Microsoft Teams has nearly tripled since April last year. AvePoint has the most comprehensive solutions for moving, managing, and protecting Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams on the market today.
Collaboration security in particular is a tremendous opportunity for AvePoint partners to help button up and secure the Microsoft 365 environments many of their customers rushed to adopt to enable remote work at the start of the pandemic. AvePoint’s Policies and Insights solution provides unrivaled insight and security across Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams compared to any of AvePoint’s competitors.
Another important way AvePoint is thinking about how to make partners profitable with our solutions is to help them build and scale their service economy. Monthly reoccurring revenue is great, but it’s even better when it’s supplemented with valuable service engagements–enabled by our solutions–that can generate additional revenue at good margins.
2. Expand Partner Business With The Best Technology and Great Support
As the largest Microsoft 365 data management solutions provider, we want to enable our channel partners to scale their business with our global SaaS platform. We built a robust cloud infrastructure across more than a dozen global data centers and with leading security credentials:
Various partners worldwide have enabled their customers’ digital transformation journey with our solutions. For example, CMIT Solutions of Cleveland Northeast and Northwest (CMIT CNN), a managed service provider, was engaged in a migration project with a client in the medical field. Business downtime was not an option and migration windows were tight.
They used a competitor’s migration tool and got a bad surprise. It didn’t have the ability to migrate OneDrive and SharePoint from the source (GoDaddy) into the target tenant, so it migrated the emails and stopped. Worse, this issue was not in the documentation and the CMIT CNN team could not get a hold of a human when they called the vendor support for help.
Issues like these cost partners money and hurt their reputations with clients. For AvePoint, those are unacceptable outcomes. Luckily, CMIT CNN’s next call was to AvePoint. In the partner’s words:
“AvePoint immediately had a senior sales and solution engineer ready to go. They didn’t ask unhelpful questions and assumed we had to execute on the timeline we said we did,” said Ludwick.” “We purchased, configured the tool for OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange, and were migrating all in the same day within four to five hours from when the other vendor’s migration solution failed….The customer was extremely happy. They weren’t aware of any of the challenges behind the scenes, just that we made the timeline with zero technical issues after the go-live.”
On top of our world-class technology solutions, AvePoint prides itself on our 24/7 customer support. AvePoint will always go the extra mile to support partners and make them successful. That’s a promise from me to all of our partners and customers.
3. AvePoint Industry Experts By Their Side
Channel partners will benefit from our expertise, experience, and Microsoft relationship. We have a very close symbiotic relationship with Microsoft and are innovating alongside them for our partners’ benefit. Apart from being Microsoft’s top Microsoft Teams co-sell partner globally, we’re a five-time Microsoft Partner of the Year awardee, we have multiple Microsoft Regional Directors (RDs) and Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) on staff, and are among the few partners participating in their various advisory councils.
When we say we want our channel partners to thrive, we put money where our mouth is. We’ve already announced some key hires to invest in our channel business since our initial public merger announcement, including a new channel chief and senior VP of channel marketing.
In addition to our channel leaders, our channel partners will have access to our brand experience, product innovation, and customer success teams to help scale their business.
The Opportunity Is Bright For Channel Partners
As we move towards an increased channel presence, AvePoint’s go-to-market model will evolve. We believe AvePoint will always have the latest and greatest solutions, a listening ear, and the best possible customer and partner support. That is always a recipe for growth and success.
I invite all channel partners to join us in this journey!
I had the pleasure to text/talk with one of your people the other day. I expressed as a shareholder that positive PR and vision would be greatly appreciated to generate more interest and solidify us that believe in Avepoint existing and great potential to come. A blog like this goes a long way. Thank You.
What about the merger?
It was said that it would happen in the first quarter of the year

THE ARCSABER 11 is designed to deliver pinpoint accuracy in the heat of lightening fast rallies. Neo CS CARBON NANOTUBE, refined by YONEX engineers, allows the racquet to achieve new levels of frame flexibility holding the shuttle on the string bed for even longer, for greater control at the point of impact, to allow you hit counter receive shots with the accuracy and speed you need to kill the point.
In today’s high voltage game those players who can smash with speed and accuracy have a huge advantage. The ideal way to fight back against these hard-hitters is to turn your defence into an attack; to have the receiving ability to take the initiative. The ARCSABER 11 and ARCSABER FB have been designed to create a new playing style, one where you can turn defence into attack.
The ARCSABER 11 allows you to take control like never before. It enables you to increase the shuttle speed when you return a smash shot with an unprecedented level of accuracy. With the ARCSABER 11 you have the ability to seize the initiative in an instant.
Turn the opponent’s smash into your attack – with accuracy and speed.
The ARCSABER 11 offers badminton players an even greater level of control during the high speed rallies that are a part of today’s game.
The intensity and speed of these rallies make it difficult for even the world’s best players to play every shot from the centre of the racquet.
By storing and then releasing energy, the ARCSABER 11 delivers precise shot-making, the frame is designed to flex at the point of impact, Neo CS CARBON NANOTUBE improves the frame’s elasticity helping to hold the shuttle on the string bed for greater control at the point of impact.
SONIC METAL positioned in the frame, helps to give you even greater repulsion power especially when attacking, producing a sharper sound to unsettle your opponent. This combined with a new composite material T-ANCHOR, used in the T-Joint helps reduce excess torque when hitting an off centre shot.
The ARCSABER 11 controlled power for your game.
Offering greater flexibility, great durability and repulsion power, Neo CS CARBON NANOTUBE delivers outstanding performance when you need to hit powerful, controlled shots. Neo CS CARBON NANOTUBE and CS CARBON NANOTUBE combined improve the hold and bite effect generated by the multiple stacking construction. Neo CS CARBON NANOTUBE, positioned both sides of the racquet head, enables the frame to quickly return back to its normal shape increasing the repulsion power. | <urn:uuid:768dec5d-9d36-49be-9369-5b226bf2767b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,491 |

As I reached the end I realised that I did'nt like the water tower; it was a distraction and drew too much attention to itself within the composition so I painted it out and I am relieved that I did! I also changed the sky colour to a lighter and warmer hue. I was able to get the article to the magazine before my deadline and I believe that it will be in next month's issue.

I made a determined effort today to get in the left side of the picture. The blue of the sky is looking better against the sunlit buildings now and will probably only need a slight adjustment when everything else is painted in. I will also make a final decision on the shadow colour shortly. The sloping street was decided right from the start as I wanted to vary the very vertical/horizontal composition, this at least introduces a subtle diagonal.

I am working on different areas of the picture as I go along. The cinema is now ready for the final highlights, shadows and washes of green for the shade area. After that I need to sort out the left side of the picture and paint in the diner.

Here is the better of the two paintings I did at the Sussex County Arts Club session on the 14th May. The model, Lucy Potts (aka "The Divine Ms Potts" - Paul Cemmick), had brought along a motorbike helmet as her prop.....which was interesting. As ever, I am trying to finish a painting in the 50 minutes available including background.
I have now put in some darks so that I can gauge how light to make the sunlit surfaces and how dark to make the shadows on the buildings. I am leaving the shadows alone and will come back to them when I have all the dark areas in. I want to try and get across the dazzling light of a summer afternoon, everything else is subordinate to that idea. That blue sky is the wrong colour too!
Monday, 14 May 2012
I spent most of the morning changing some things in acrylic. I decided to reinstate the glass fascia on the cinema façade to add more variety to the buildings, tweaked the building at left and put in some telephone wires to break up the verticals and to emphasize the triangle-lying-on-it's-side compositional device that I am employing. Hopefully tomorrow I will start getting some oil paint down.

OK before I go any further, I am not posting these paintings because I think that they are any good! This is the second week that I have attended the Monday afternoon painting session at the Sussex County Arts Club led by Kate Shields which comprises two 45 - 50 minute poses by a model who is encouraged to bring a prop with them (hence the microphone!). I reckon that this is just enough time to finish an oil painting and thus I guess the challenge has been set. I am hoping that over the coming weeks....months.....years, I will be able to hone any skills I may possess to produce some paintings worth exhibiting, whether they would be these or larger and more ambitious studio pieces I have yet to find out. I have absolutely loads to learn, I know that, but it is something that I have had in the back of my mind for some time and hope that the life drawing classes that I go to as well will help with my anatomy issues, proportions etc etc.
So hopefully the future postings will show a continuing improvement over time.....otherwise they will all be edited from the blog and I will pretend that nothing happened...as long as you conveniently forget as well.

I have just been commissioned by the editor of Artists & Illustrators magazine Steve Pill, to write a feature for their "Summer" issue (not sure which month yet). The theme of the issue is "Summer In The City" with my feature being the "Masterclass" section of the issue, a twelve stage step-by-step demonstration of how I paint cityscapes in oil. Initial thoughts are revolving around sunlight bouncing off pavement, probably afternoon light, heat, shadows of people, maybe somebody catching some shade, a busker?....I am tempted to make it hot and oppressive but it would be nice to avoid a sour note for a change in one of my paintings! Yes, let's try and get across the feeling of heat in the city. I don't intend to illustrate the Lovin' Spoonful song.....although having just read them, the first part of the song about the daytime does seem to be what I am thinking about. | <urn:uuid:8cf10652-ef31-4884-8fde-223c5943d1bd> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,971 |
Goldman Sachs leads $53m investment round in JUMO
Goldman Sachs has led a $52m investment round in JUMO, with participation from other leading investors including Proparco, Finnfund, Vostok Emerging Finance, Gemcorp Capital, and LeapFrog Investments.
JUMO is a rapidly scaling technology company providing information services, financial infrastructure and products designed to reach the 80% of the world’s population who are excluded or underserved by traditional financial services.
This funding round represents Goldman Sachs, Proparco and Finnfund’s maiden investments into JUMO.
Jules Frebault, Executive Director at Goldman Sachs, said: “There is immense opportunity across Africa and beyond for JUMO to build on their successful track record developing digital marketplace infrastructure to offer mobile subscribers access to relevant financial products.”
“We are excited to partner with this highly capable team as they continue to leverage technology to advance financial inclusion,” he added.
The funds raised will be used to further JUMO’s growth and expansion into new markets.
Since its launch in 2014, more than 9 million people have saved or borrowed on the JUMO platform, with nearly 70% of these being micro and small business owners.
To date, JUMO has originated over $700m in loans on its platform and manages over 25 million customer interactions per month.
JUMO’s technology is a highly agile and scalable Platform as a Service (PaaS) for operating inclusive and profitable financial marketplaces, adapting quickly to customer needs with solutions that improve their lives.
The company partners with many of the largest, most forward-thinking banks and mobile money operators to offer individuals and small businesses savings and credit products via mobile devices.
Through its existing partnerships, nearly 120 million mobile users are currently able to connect to the JUMO platform.
JUMO has offices in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, Zambia, Pakistan, United Kingdom, Singapore and South Africa.
Over two billion people in the world have limited or no access to essential financial services, many of them live in emerging markets and are coming online for the first time via mobile.
These are the people JUMO is connecting with to provide great choices from leading banks.
Given high feature phone usage in key markets as well as customer sensitivity to data costs, JUMO offers transactional capability via basic USSD, Web or App to allow broad-based access and usage of the platform and products.
Andrew Watkins-Ball, CEO of JUMO, said: “The support of Goldman Sachs and our other investors is a significant endorsement of JUMO. We are working hard to connect hundreds of millions of people with access to the best possible choices from leading banks.”
“We are proving that the evolution of computation and storage means that there is no longer any reason why the best financial products should not be available to people in the early stages of building wealth.” Source: Africa Global Funds | <urn:uuid:1f471395-c157-4b8a-ba24-a5648b870c60> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,023 |

The front and rear wheel brakes’ brake pistons are critical components in the vehicle’s braking system. The brake caliper is where you’ll typically find them. The brake piston may need to move out more when the brake pads wear down to ensure that the brakes continue to function properly.
In order to replace the brake pads, however, you will need to re-insert the brake pistons. If you want to know exactly how to re-install the brake piston, go no further than this page.
Step-by-step instructions and answers to frequently asked questions are provided in this guide to repositioning the brake pistons.
How Do Rear Brake Pistons Work?
Taking a look at the workings of the rear brake pistons is necessary before we discuss how to re-inflate them without a tool.
The pistons in the brake calipers are an important part of the entire braking system and are located inside the calipers.
When the brakes are applied, the caliper compresses over the rotor, causing the rotor to move. By pressing the brake pedal, you force brake fluid from the master cylinder into the brake caliper, where it is used to stop your car.
The caliper is pushed out behind the brake pads by the pistons being pushed out by the braking fluid. Brake discs and pads come into contact when this happens, slowing and stopping the vehicle. The caliper and brake pads would not compress into the discs if the pistons were missing.
When it comes to brakes, pistons are an essential part of both floating and fixed caliper systems. Rubber, steel, or aluminum pistons will be used in your vehicle’s brakes. The brake calipers on some vehicles have a single large piston within, whereas the brake calipers on others contain many smaller pistons.
The brake pistons can come out of either a floating or fixed caliper over time and need to be forced back in when the brake pads need to be changed.
It is possible to move the piston in front of the caliper with a c clamp. There are several differences between the front and rear braking systems. The method of pushing back the pistons will have to be modified for the latter.
You may drive the pistons back into the calipers on the front wheels using a c clamp, but you must rotate the pistons back when replacing the brake pads if your car has rear disc brakes. The use of specialized tools isn’t necessary for this operation to be done.
How To Push Back Brake Piston With Brake Caliper Tool
The proper operation of your vehicle’s braking system relies heavily on the brake pistons. In the long run, you’ll have to replace your brake pads because they aren’t going to last forever. Make sure the pistons are fully wound back in before replacing the brake pads.
C clamps are useful for quickly resetting pistons at the front of the brakes, however rotating the pistons in the rear is often necessary to get them to slide back into place again.
With the right tool, this task isn’t difficult at all. The pistons may be retracted into the caliper with this helpful tool. Trying to push the piston back in with physical force will only get you so far because the piston is a threaded one.

Utilizing a piston retractor tool is a quick and easy alternative to using a tool to wind back brake pistons, which we will cover in great depth later on. You can use this guide whether you already own a brake caliper tool or plan to get one in the future.
How To Push Back Brake Piston Without Tool – Step-By-Step Guide
Don’t have a tool for removing the caliper?
You don’t need to worry; you can reinstall the rear brake pistons with common household tools. Follow this step-by-step guide to re-insert the brake piston when it’s time to replace the brake pads.
The car needs to be jack-knifed. The first step is to raise your car’s wheel off the ground. To begin, use a jack to raise the vehicle and remove the lug nuts from the wheels.
Remove the lug nuts entirely and remove the wheel assembly unit after your car is lifted. Unscrew the cap from the brake fluid tank’s valve. As you tighten the piston back into position, you’ll need to make sure that the braking fluid isn’t overflowing.
The brake caliper must be easily accessible. Remove the brake caliper by loosening the brake line. The banjo bolt and sealing washers should be kept separate. Using a brake line hose plug is the best way to stop any brake fluid from seeping out of the line (or you can try wrapping the end of the line, but keep in mind brake fluid is extremely corrosive and can be harmful if it comes into contact with the skin).
The caliper from the rotor must then be removed. Remove the caliper’s mounting nuts in order to achieve this. You may remove the caliper from the revolving disc once the bolts are gone. A screwdriver is required to remove the caliper, although you can just just lift it up.
Once the caliper is free of the rotor, you may begin to move the piston rearward. There are several other tools you can use to accomplish this: flat-head screwdrivers; pliers; dowels; and any other item that can fit in and rotate the piston without damaging the device.
To use the caliper, insert the tool carefully into the caliper’s piston and turn the piston clockwise after you’ve selected your tool. You should be able to see the caliper retracting back into the caliper housing by spinning the caliper clockwise.
The piston or pistons can now be pushed back all the way. In order to accomplish this, you will need a screwdriver or pliers, as well as a little of patience and a steady hand.
The brake pads on your car can now be easily removed and replaced. Eventually, your brake system will be restored to working order after the pistons have been fully reinserted.
Reconnecting the wheel assembly unit and caliper is necessary after you’ve finished the job.
Put the cap back on the brake fluid container and return to the hood. Avoid getting brake fluid on your skin while reinstalling the brake line. You can now use the jack to lower your automobile to the ground again when everything has been put back in place.
Learn how to push back the brake piston without using a tool by watching this video.
How do you push brake pistons back in?
A c clamp can be used to compress the brake pistons, allowing you to re-insert them. The rear brake pistons, on the other hand, are screwed in and out and cannot be reinstalled using a clamp because of their unique design.
Purchase a retractor tool to wind the pistons back into their caliper housings successfully. But if you lack the rotator tool, you can use a screwdriver or pliers to carefully screw the pistons back into position.
Why do brake pistons get stuck?
When corrosion and debris build up inside the caliper, brake pistons can become jammed. Rust can form on the piston if brake fluid leaks from the caliper, reducing the piston’s capacity to move freely within the caliper.
The protective rubber covering the caliper bolts can wear and tear, which is a common cause of brake fluid leaks. Whenever the rubber is torn, the braking fluid will leak, causing troubles for the pistons.
All vehicles on the road must have a properly functional braking system. Drivers, other road users, and passengers are all at risk if their brakes fail to function properly. All components of the piston system must be in good functioning order if your car is to come to a complete stop.
When the time comes to change the brake pads, we’ll show you how to move the pistons back to make the job go more smoothly. While brake pistons can be pushed back with the use of special tools, we’ve provided all the instructions you’ll need to do so manually.
Remember that if you don’t have the proper tools, you don’t want to harm the caliper by pushing the pistons back. We hope this information has been helpful and that you now know what to do when your vehicle’s pistons need to be pushed back into position. | <urn:uuid:41104f65-26ef-4885-8e92-e0d6f434a744> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 8,128 |
Health insurance is a benefit most workers receive as part of their job. This insurance helps reduce expenses for medical services, such as outpatient surgery, prescriptions, and checkups. The employer pays for some or most of the premium, and the employee’s contribution comes from their pay.
Companies that provide health insurance have agreements with specific doctors and medical facilities. This is the network, and a policyholder must receive medical treatment within that network. Going out of the network usually means health insurance will not pay. That means a doctor’s visit will cost more if going outside of the network. Say that a doctor charges $85 per visit. People within the network might get a reduced rate, for example $60. The insured person has a co-pay of $25, and the insurance company picks up the balance of $35.
Employers have different plans available. All plans are set so that the policyholder must meet a certain deductible before insurance pays. This is the “maximum out of pocket.” When the policyholder pays the deductible and the maximum out of pocket amount, the insurance company pays for the rest.
Note that the deductible is not the same as the co-pay. The co-pay is upfront payment for medical treatment. It is not a part of the deductible. The deductible is something you would pay in addition to the co-pay. You may receive a bill later that counts towards the deductible. However, the co-pay is due the same day you receive service.
The Affordable Care Act makes it mandatory for insurance companies to pay for preventative services. You may have to search for a policy that has co-pay, deductible and other costs that you can afford. The benefit of coverage is that for your monthly premium, you have coverage in case of a catastrophic accident. A good policy means you will not face a huge medical bill.
Insurance through an employer is the best way to get good coverage. However, people without coverage can purchase a personal health insurance policy. | <urn:uuid:79a59c83-ef70-436d-b2c9-630526ff410f> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,998 |
More than 300 people on Sunday pledged to further resist moves by district authorities to evict them from the land they have lived on for more than three years alongside an large rubber plantation owned by the Try Pheap Company in Preah Vihear province.
Rovieng district governor Ea Saro released a letter Thursday ordering villagers living opposite Try Pheap’s land concession along National Road 62 to leave their homes within 15 days after a series of unsuccessful attempts by authorities to clear their land using a bulldozer.
“Authorities will crack down strongly in accordance with the law in case they [the villagers] do not agree to follow the announcement,” the letter states.
Villagers allege that the 1,000-hectare plot is being cleared to be added to Mr. Pheap’s sprawling rubber plantation—estimated to be some 10,000 hectares in size—and that the bulldozer they have prevented authorities from using over the past week belongs to the well-known businessman.
Mr. Saro, for his part, reportedly told a villager last week that the plot of land being cleared would be given as a social land concession to 200 ethnic Kuoy minority villagers.
Oeun Sitha, one of the more than 300 people living in Romany commune’s O’Pur village, said that villagers still did not agree to the eviction and would move to prevent the clearing of their land and homes.
Mr. Sitha said that the villagers did not want to relocate as most villagers made their money through small businesses lying alongside National Road 62.
He added that he could now not rule out the use of violence by villagers in response to further efforts to evict them.
“We all together will sit in front of a bulldozer in order to not allow it to clear our houses and homeland, and we will respond with machetes and axes if they order the bulldozers to role over the villagers,” he said.
Mr. Saro said that district authorities had issued a second letter Sunday ordering the villagers to leave.
“We’re evicting them because they made an anarchic settlement and they should go back to where they came from,” Mr. Saro said, denying that the land was being cleared to be given to Mr. Pheap.
Villagers have said they moved onto the land with the permission of local authorities in 2010.

easy child daughter called me the other night and said her dog had just been bitten by a skunk in their yard. I told her to absolutely not let the dog in the house and call animal control. The animal control guy who showed up was apparently a complete idiot because he told them that skunks never get rabies and had them bring the dog in the house so he could examine her. He told them the skunk seemed fine, was probably just looking for food, so she thought everything was ok. Well, he took the skunk to have it tested and of course it was positive for rabies. The dog has had her shots but if they touched any area on her where the skunk's saliva was, there's a risk. Now the entire family needs rabies shots and my daughter is 4 months pregnant. | <urn:uuid:efdc008a-dbe1-439b-8f37-7cfaf39c1029> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 749 |
Persons Living with Sickle Cell Disease (PLWSCD), are at a higher risk of getting infected with COVID-19 Health Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Dr. Rashid Aman has said.
Sickle Cell, is a genetic disease characterized by a change in the shape of a red blood cell, from a smooth circular shape, to a crescent shape, which can result in the blockage of small blood vessels
The CAS expressed fears that such patients were more likely to get severe Covid 19 illness if they get infected due to their impaired immunity resulting from blood disorder
Speaking during the Covid 19 briefing at Afya house ,Dr. Rashid called upon PLWSCD to strictly observe the precautionary preventive measures for COVID-19..
“During this period of Coronavirus pandemic, persons living with sickle cell disease are advised, to ensure they keep a minimum of one-month supply of medication at all timesa$ he said
In addition, Dr. Rashid said they should consult their healthcare providers should they experience COVID-19 symptoms.
Interventions to control the disease include early diagnosis, provision of prompt and effective management, advocacy, communication and social mobilization for screening, and genetic counseling, during premarital courtship, the CAS said .
Globally, the world is in marking the World Sickle Cell Diseases Day and Dr. Rashid said the ministry together with stakeholders, have developed guidelines for managing the disease to be rolled out soon.
This, he added will help to improve the quality of care offered at the health facilities and community levels.
As pertains to the Covid-19 situation, the CAS said that the country recorded 117 people who have tested positive for Coronavirus disease, from a sample size of 3,043 in the last 24 hours.
The new positive cases push confirmed cases to 4,374 in the country and the total tests carried out so far are at 133,541.
From the positive cases, dr. Rashid noted that 112 are Kenyans, and 5 are foreigners, while 83 are males and 34 are females with the youngest being 11 years while the oldest is 75.

From the rising Numbers especially in Nairobis areas of Westlands, Lavington, Kileleshwa and Hurlingham, Dr. Rashid said that the spread of the virus in these areas is being attributed to information that groups of young people are organizing house parties.
“These activities are being conducted with little regard to social distancing requirement. I want to remind Kenyans that avoidance of social gatherings is among the containment measures of coronavirus disease and I want to appeal to our people to take individual responsibility, in observing the measures that have been advocated for by the Ministry, failure to which this disease will be difficult to contain”, the CAS said .
Acting, director General Dr. Patrick Amoth said the deaths that occurred today were from a 5 year old from Daadab camp and the other is from a 46 year old female from Thika town
He emphasized that young people should know that they are not immune from contracting the Covid 19 warning that if they get the serious type they can also die.
At this time when the premier league football matches are beginning though with empty stadiums, Dr. Amoth warned young people who congregate to watch the matches to wear masks and also maintain the social and physical distance .
Young people are not immune one from contracting Covid especially if you get serious type of Covid, he added.
“Yesterday we reported a case of a death without underlying condition and as the positive number increases, we will have more deaths and this will not apply to high risk group but extend to all age cords”, Dr. Amoth warned.
On the issue of contact tracing especially for the 140 people who had given the wrong information, Dr. Amoth said that currently they are using IDs and Passport numbers so that they can be able to go back to the data and be able to get them.
Out of the 140 cases that were being traced, he explained that a few of them were from outside Kenya and once they were caught up , they gave various reasons especially in the targeted areas such as Eastleigh where they were living illegally.
The DG however said that all the 140 cases have been removed from the contact while for state house personell , he explained that testing is being done for the staff after every two to three weeks and explaining that they have been getting support from statehouse since their contact tracing had been collected from huge sample.
The United Nations General Assembly, established the World Sickle Cell Day in the year 2008, to increase public knowledge and raise awareness of Sickle Cell Disease while highlighting the struggles of living with sickle cell disease sufferers and their care givers. This year’s theme is “Break the silence: and Shine the light on Sickle cell disease.”

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI — For Central Michigan, the 2014 NFL Draft wasn’t nearly as exciting as last year when Eric Fisher was selected with the No. 1 overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs.
No Chippewas were selected in the three-day draft this year, but three players signed undrafted free agent deals with NFL clubs.
Running back Zurlon Tipton signed a free agent deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Safety Avery Cunningham signed with the St. Louis Rams, and offensive tackle Jake Olson is attending rookie camp with the Detroit Lions.
Tipton had a breakout junior season for CMU in 2012 when he rushed for 1,492 yards with 20 overall touchdowns, but he was lost in the first quarter of the season opener at Michigan in 2013. He missed seven straight games and finished the season with 380 yards and seven touchdowns in the final three contests.
Cunningham was a four-year starter at safety finishing with 294 tackles and four interceptions. He finished his career with 43 consecutive starts and was named to Phil Steele’s All-Mid-American Conference second team at midseason.
Olson had a promising career cut short by injuries with the Chippewas. He started 12 games at left tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2009 and was named honorable mention freshman All-America in the only full college season he played.
A leg injury limited him to three starts as a sophomore in 2010, and he missed three games as a junior. He started the first two games of 2012 against Southeast Missouri State and Michigan State before suffering a season-ending injury. Olson started against Michigan and New Hampshire to open 2013 before suffering a season-ending wrist injury.

2018 Property Council Award Recipients
Last Friday night Adelaide Oval was alive with the sound of property professionals celebrating as we hosted our annual 2018 Gala Ball and Awards night.
It was a fantastic evening and a great opportunity to network, reflect and celebrate those who are shaping our city and growing our state.
The awards focused on people and teams of people contributing to landmark projects, and celebrated the achievements of South Australia’s pre-eminent and innovative property professionals.
On behalf of the sector, the Property Council extends its thanks and appreciation to all award nominees and finalists, and congratulates the 2018 award recipients. It was an immensely strong pool of candidates this year, which is testament to the quality and calibre of our sector.
A big thanks must go to our major sponsor Rider Levett Bucknall, who have a proud track record of promoting and supporting South Australia’s property sector and have partnered with us loyally for more than 36 years now.
This year’s esteemed award recipients:
SCOTT BELL – YOUNG PROPERTY PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR
Throughout his career as a development and project manager, Scott has excelled in working on some of the state’s most iconic developments, including the Adelaide Oval and Adelaide Convention Centre redevelopments, and now the SKYCITY Adelaide expansion project.
Scott’s career has been shaped by projects that have captured the public’s imagination and the watchful eye of the media. As a result, he has developed strong interpersonal skills by managing the competing interests of public and private stakeholders.
Judges agreed that Scott displayed a passion for and commitment to his industry. His focus on creating a strong team environment and working with colleagues to deliver innovative solutions to complex problems earmarks him as an industry leader of the future.
GUY BENNETT – PROPERTY PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR
Guy Bennett has enjoyed a successful and diverse career across the property sector, both in Australia and overseas.
Upon returning to Adelaide, Guy carved out a niche for himself as the market leader on larger transactions, actively sourcing capital from lucrative interstate and Asian markets.
In only his second year back in Adelaide, Guy sold 45 Pirie Street for $87 million, which at the time was the largest office transaction in nearly five years.
Over the past six years, Guy has increased Knight Frank’s market from less than 25% to now more than 75%.
His commitment to ‘selling Adelaide’ is crystal clear, and judges agreed that his passion for South Australia had contributed to his enormous success in attracting new capital to his home state.
AURECON – PROPERTY BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
As a global engineering and infrastructure advisory company, Aurecon in South Australia has re-imagined what engineering is and how it should be delivered.
Aurecon’s commitment to putting their clients at the centre of their work has transformed the way they do business and led to an outstanding reputation for client delivery.
Importantly, they have contributed to the changing landscape of Adelaide, working on landmark and award-winning projects like the South Australian Health and Medical Research building.
Judges agreed that Aurecon’s commitment to developing and supporting their staff has contributed to a culture of success and made them a top ‘employer of choice’ for new graduates.
BRYAN MOULDS – PRESIDENT’S AWARD
The 2018 President’s Award was bestowed upon Bryan Moulds, Property Council Executive Director from 1995 to 2007.
In his 11 years as national Executive Director of Sustainable Growth and SA Executive Director of the Property Council of Australia, Bryan helped secure important reforms on behalf of the sector. His work on Emergency Services Levy reform in 1999 and the depoliticisation of Development Assessment Panels in 2005 are but two standout achievements across a stellar career.
On his watch, the Property Council evolved into an organisation that was seen by all levels of government as problem solvers and go-getters.
As our organisation moves forward, it is important to recognise those who have shaped our organisation into the advocacy and membership powerhouse that it is today – this makes Bryan a most deserving winner of the 2018 President’s Award. | <urn:uuid:7b0a82bd-d0de-471a-bb69-80aa19184357> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,320 |

My Social Media Cleanse Experiment
By Joy Xu
Graphic by Tess Adams
I love going on Snapchat and taking a picture of my face just to send it to all my contacts; even the ones I don’t even talk to. I love scrolling through Instagram to see what’s new with people’s lives. I love going on TikTok to laugh at different 30-second videos over and over again. I love hearing the little notification when it’s time to take my BeReal and seeing the amount of reactions I get before the next notification. Every day, the first thing I do when I wake up, and the last thing I do before I fall asleep is pick up my phone and scroll through my socials. Of course; isn’t that what we all do?
This past school week, I deleted all of my socials. Here’s my experience:
I can’t even stress enough how hard the first day was. I was worried: what if people stop reacting to my BeReals? Or what if I miss out on an inside joke on TikTok? Not only was I suffering from this social media FOMO, but I also found myself (much more than once) picking up my phone out of habit to open up Snapchat, only to remember after a while of looking for the app on my home screen that this was my “cleanse week.” I realized that I never actually went on any of my social media apps consciously, I just opened my phone and clicked on them mindlessly because it was such a habitual act of mine for so long.
Throughout the week, I never seemed to get over this, but things got easier for me when I realized how much I was benefiting from refraining. I did every act or process almost two times faster than normal. In the morning, I didn’t use my phone in between washing my face and doing my makeup; times when I’d normally watch some TikToks. The little time frames when I’d pick up my phone, the times I used as “filler” in between my schedule, were completely nullified without my social medias. With no “filler,” I had no choice but to keep doing my routine with no stops and found so much extra time on my hands, whereas I’d usually be overwhelmed with the amount of schoolwork that I never seemed to have enough time to finish. However, I didn’t know what to do with this newfound and almost uncomfortable amount of free time; this weird feeling of boredom. Though I did find myself playing little phone games more, I also spent this time extra going to the gym. I slept longer. I called my family. I was so bored that I cleaned my room. But, every time, I felt good. Doing these things made me feel good, and maybe this is pretentious, but I felt more alive. I was living my life in the times that I would have normally been on social media.
Reflecting now on this past week, social media is so entertaining and is a dangerously quick and easy way to always busy your mind. But, sometimes it’s better to clear your mind instead; to be so bored you do something that really makes you feel good. | <urn:uuid:d3fc0105-4d1a-4e56-82ad-35d8e2c5cfdf> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,860 |

The Hauraki Gulf is a natural arrival area for Eastern Polynesian navigators. Aotea is one of the early landing places of a number of waka, including Takitimu, Tainui, Mahuhu Ki Te Rangi, Matatua, Aotea, Arawa and Moekakara.
Ngatiwai are known as Ngatiwai Ki Moana, those who lived along the eastern coastline and islands, and Ngatiwai Ki Te Tua Whenua, those who lived inland.
The ocean, the islands and the fishing grounds along this coastline all hold special significance for Ngatiwai. Here are the traditional food sources; the lanes of travel, the island sites of ancient occupation and the wahi tapu.
Ngatiwai are an amalgam of ancient iwi, unified by their descent from Ngati Manaia, one of the oldest lineages in Te Taitokerau.
Many generations after Manaia, came their ancestor Te Rangi Hokaia who lived twelve generations ago.
Today our history is Ngatiwai Ki Aotea and we are based at Motairehe Marae. | <urn:uuid:351e1bbe-4d20-43c9-9f5a-72f9a203fa6c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 913 |
‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.’ Margaret Mead
‘From little things big things grow.’ So Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody’s song begins and wends through the compelling David and Goliath story of an uneducated, unknown softly spoken Aboriginal man taking up an eight-year challenge to big capital. Vincent Lingiari was fighting for a principle he knew to be right, that the land belonged to his people. In capturing a near-forgotten story and bringing it to the light of public awareness, Kelly and Carmody used a catchy jingle to sow the seeds of recognition and understanding that many others have sown in generations gone by.
Change usually begins with a small group of thoughtful and committed people like Bill Ferguson, William Cooper, and the organisers of ‘The Day of Mourning’ in 1938. Charlie Perkins, Ann Curthoys and Jim Spiegelman along with fellow university students organised a bus ride to northern NSW in 1965 to shed light on entrenched racism in country towns. Pearl Gibbs, William Cooper and Faith Bandler led the charge in 1967, after years of work, to recognise Aboriginal citizenship throughout the country. Eddie and Bonita Mabo, Henry Reynolds and others confronted the High Court, challenging and overturning the accepted doctrine of ‘Terra Nullius’ in 1993.
The seeds of greater public knowledge and understanding of injustice led to incremental change and the gradual evolution of a more just and fair society which should function for the good of all. A greater understanding of the inequity and cruelty dealt to Indigenous Australians over centuries has been sown by small groups of dedicated and thoughtful people in every generation. These were people who, recognising a wrong, sought to correct it.
And so today, we are faced with the choice of enshrining a First Nations Voice in the Constitution after major groundwork laid by Patrick Dodson, Marcia Langton, and significant Indigenous leaders in 2018. Again, ‘The Uluru Statement from the Heart’ has taken time to ripen, for green shoots to show until it may come to fruition. In 2022, public sentiment for a Voice is growing, evidenced most recently by our new Labor Government[s commitment to it, and a joint statement from faith leaders in Australia supporting the adoption of the Statement in full.
From little things big things do indeed grow, mature and ripen.

Samantha Newbery is a lecturer in contemporary intelligence studies at the University of Salford, where she specializes in ethical aspects of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. In Interrogation, Intelligence and Security, she examines the so-called “five techniques” of interrogation developed and used by the British military after 1945: uncomfortable stress position, hooding, loud continuous noise, sleep deprivation, and restricting the quality and amount of food intake. The European Commission on Human Rights branded these techniques as “torture” in 1976, but Newbery “avoids describing the ‘five techniques’ as torture.” She acknowledges the existence of the current debate on torture but focuses instead on the origins of the techniques, their objectives, and their results. (pp. 3-4) She also recognizes that the benefits of interrogation are difficult to measure, even qualitatively.
After reviewing the “five techniques” and some variations often used in various emergencies since 1945, Newbery analyzes their use in three operations for which public reports are available: Aden (1963-67), Northern Ireland (1971), and Iraq (2003). She writes that in Aden “the military and Special Branch were convinced that interrogation was a valuable source of information.” (p. 52) But she acknowledges there were allegations of mistreatment that potentially lessened their value and complicated correlating results with “specific evidence” they may have provided. (p. 52)
Use of the “five techniques” in Northern Ireland was more complex and involved MI5 as well as the military. Complaints from those interrogated created political problems and investigations that led the British prime minister to ban their use in 1972. Newbery devotes a chapter to examples that suggest valuable intelligence was acquired. Nevertheless, she concludes that, overall, there was “a miscalculation.” (p. 125)
That the banned techniques were employed at all in Iraq is surprising. Newbery writes with a hint of cynicism that the directive banning their use “had very largely fallen from corporate memory.” (p. 148) She analyzes three operations—one called the “Temporary Detention Facility Episode,” (TDF) during which a detainee in Basra died under interrogation with the techniques. She shows how the techniques changed since the 1970s and how sensitive the public has become to their use. Another inquiry followed the TDF episode. It called for additional training and specificity about what is permissible in deploying this “method of obtaining intelligence.” (p. 182)
Interrogation, Intelligence and Security concludes with a review of the lessons learned, noting that the “five techniques” were used “because there is a willingness to believe they produce intelligence and enhance security” (p. 196), while stressing that new policy directives must nevertheless be adhered to. This is a thoughtful and valuable book.

Slaven Bilic has turned up the pressure on West Brom’s board to re-sign Filip Krovinovic, admitting he will be “extremely disappointed” if a deal is not completed.
Bilic is desperate to take the Benfica midfielder on loan for a second season but Albion are struggling to reach an agreement due to their meagre budget.
Conor Gallagher, the Chelsea midfielder, has agreed to sign on loan for the season after signing a new five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Krovinovic, a former Croatia Under-21 international, is a priority signing for Bilic, after starting 24 matches last season to help steer the club back into the Premier League.
Benfica are demanding a loan fee of around £1.5 million and negotiations are proving difficult, leaving Bilic frustrated.
“I will be extremely disappointed if it doesn’t happen. I don’t even want to think about it [not happening],” he said.
“Every day when I walk into the training ground I ask about him. Why? Because last year he played a lot of games for us. He was brilliant on the pitch. You can be versatile with him on the pitch, you can change systems without changing the players.
“Everybody loves him. He makes every player around him better, he is one of those unsung heroes.
“That is why every day I ask: ‘Has he come? Is it [the situation] improving?’ What is the hold-up? The budget - we have to find some money for a loan or whatever.
“I would be very, very disappointed if he doesn’t come back.”
Bilic is also determined to sign another striker before the transfer window closes, with Huddersfield’s Karlan Grant his No1 target.
Albion have already spent around £20m of their £25m budget, however, which does not leave last season’s Championship runners-up with much room to manoeuvre.
“We would love to sign a striker and it is important to bring someone in who is different to the other strikers that we have at the club,” said Bilic.
“We are trying to get it done but it is not easy. It’s not a secret - we have good numbers of strikers, but we’re looking to add a bit more quality.” | <urn:uuid:3721e532-5975-4851-b3d3-751763928745> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,039 |
The classic line-up of rock band Marillion have performed together on stage for the first time in 19 years.
Singer Fish, who went solo in 1988, was joined by his former bandmates for one song at a festival in Buckinghamshire.
Fish described it as "just five guys doing a one-off and having a brilliant time together", and stressed that it would not lead to a full reunion.
The quintet, who had 1980s hits such as Kayleigh and Lavender, played their debut single Market Square Heroes.

If it’s the last thing I do! The world’s most famous crook! He is the captain of a crew of pirates aboard the Jolly Roger and the archenemy of Peter Pan. Captain Hook has long since abandoned sailing the high seas in favor of having revenge on Peter Pan for cutting off his left hand and feeding it to Tick-Tock, considering it, by Mr. Smee , a “childish prank”. While a worthy opponent for Peter Pan, Hook is destined to fail, sometimes because of Peter Pan’s ability to fly, but more often through the bumbling actions of his first mate, Mr. Smee, who while unquestioningly faithful to the Captain, is incompetent and dim-witted. Hook ends up fleeing for his life from the Crocodile, of whom he is understandably terrified. Hook’s frustrations are understandable; he lost a hand to his opponent, is constantly pursued by the crocodile and cannot fly.

By Brother Nathanael Kapner Copyright There are so many unanswered questions regarding the Sandy Hook killings that it not only boggles the mind but inspires anger and legitimate outrage. Even Lieutenant Paul Vance, head of the Connecticut State Troopers, admits that much information surrounding the crime is being withheld.
But there also some issues that we need to keep the cards close to the chest. And what about the first responders? Why were they not allowed to enter the school until DAYS after the murders? Why not those with an opposing view? Was that helpful for you all? My daughter Natalie was interested in asking him if he could pass some kind of legislation so that the only people that had guns were military personnel and law enforcement.
And if people needed guns for sport that they could go to a range and the guns would have to stay there. Banning guns is NOT the answer. Americans have abandoned Christ and their accountability before God. Instead, more and more questions keep piling up. No rifle, we are told, was in his possession at the scene of the crime.

Noah was the youngest of the 20 children and seven adults killed in one of the deadliest shootings in American history. When the medical examiner found Noah lying face up in a Batman sweatshirt, his jaw had been blown off. A week later, James Tracy , a professor at Florida Atlantic University, wrote a blog post expressing doubts about the massacre. State officials received anonymous phone calls at their homes, late at night, demanding answers: Why were there no trauma helicopters?

They are the same thing. So the M13 is a pretty great piece of gear because you get over different stompbox style effects in one big, road-rugged container. The M13 requires that you plug it into an amplifier. It may sound pretty raggedy going straight into a PA, mixing desk, high end microphone preamp, audio recording interface, etc. And aside from the modeling vs. That is beyond brilliant. By tapping the tempo button along with your drummer, you can set 1 delay to a dotted 8th note, another delay to a whole note, a vibrato patch to triplet 16th pattern, and a filtered cosmic gurgle slurper to a half note.
You can see that there are stereo jacks for input, output, fx send, and fx return. The location or placement of your fx loop can be assigned PER SCENE from the setup menu which means that in one scene, you can run one bank of effects into the front of your amp and the remaining three banks each with three effects selections into the loop.
Or you can place the loop between banks 2 and 3 and have two banks into the preamp and two banks into the loop. The graphic below gives a visual of what that looks like:

Log lighters are available from home-improvement centers and typically require no tools for installation. They simply tighten by hand. After making certain that the pre-installed gas supply to the fire pit is turned off, remove the caps from the gas connections.

An essay format refers to the structure and organization of an essay. It outlines the specific guidelines and components that should be included in an essay to ensure clarity, coherence, and logical flow of ideas. While there are various essay formats, the most commonly used one is the five-paragraph essay format, which consists of an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Here’s a breakdown of each section:
Introduction: This is the opening paragraph of the essay, which provides background information on the topic and presents the thesis statement. The thesis statement is a concise statement that expresses the main argument or point of view of the essay.
Body paragraphs: These are the paragraphs that follow the introduction and support the thesis statement. Each body paragraph should focus on a single main idea or supporting argument and include relevant evidence, examples, or analysis. Typically, a five-paragraph essay format consists of three body paragraphs, but the number can vary depending on the essay’s requirements.
How to write a conclusion for an essay and Conclusion: This is the final paragraph of the essay, which summarizes the main points discussed in the body paragraphs and restates the thesis statement in a different way. The conclusion provides closure to the essay and often offers some final thoughts or implications related to the topic.
Apart from the basic structure mentioned above, the essay format may also include other elements such as a title, subheadings (if required), and in-text citations or a reference list (for academic essays). It’s important to follow any specific guidelines provided by your instructor or the essay prompt to ensure you meet the required format.
Remember that Myassignmenthelp and essay formats can vary depending on the type of essay (e.g., argumentative, persuasive, expository) and the specific writing style or academic discipline. It’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the specific requirements and expectations for each essay assignment.

Polyurethane have proved themselves as engineering materials in many sectors. The use of polyurethane material has become widespread thanks to its outstanding properties. Polyurethane essentially consists of two chemical materials: isocyanate and polyalcohol. When these two fluid system components are prepared and mixed together, they form a reactive compound. The properties of the material can be adjusted individually and adapted to suit the particular application.
Linings are bonded to metal to provide additional stiffness and installation advantages. If you have parts that needs to be stripped of old linings prior to be re-lined AGL Engineering can assist you.

Another day, another problem, which I’ll get into in my longer update tomorrow. Nothing so far with this has been easy.
Meanwhile, we’re back to Monday at the very end of September which seems outrageous. All of it is a blur of hospital hallways and the cafeteria and beeps and alarms and complication after complication.
I wouldn’t call it fun.
But it’s pretty today, sunny and warm as though the weather doesn’t care that it’s Fall. There are many things I need to do, that I should have done, but my energy is low at best.
I went to bed before 10 pm last night. I’m not sure it helped.
Anyway, that’s enough of that for a Monday, the last thing you need is demotivation. I hope your week is off to a great start and you have a fabulous day. | <urn:uuid:615e5e19-5150-403b-8c1d-518b53a042df> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 743 |
New IPR Infringement Petition on Tires
The International Trade Commission received Aug. 14 on behalf of Toyo Tire & Rubber Co. Ltd., Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas Inc., Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp., Nitto Tire U.S.A. Inc., and Toyo Tire North America Manufacturing Inc. a petition requesting that it institute a Section 337 investigation regarding certain tires and products containing same. The proposed respondents are located in China, Thailand and the U.S.
Section 337 investigations primarily involve claims regarding intellectual property rights violations by imported goods, including the infringement of patents, trademarks and copyrights. Other forms of unfair competition involving imported products, such as misappropriation of trade secrets or trade dress and false advertising, may also be asserted. The primary remedy available in Section 337 investigations is an exclusion order that directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to stop infringing imports from entering the U.S. In addition, the ITC may issue cease and desist orders against named importers and other persons engaged in unfair acts that violate Section 337, including selling infringing imported articles out of U.S. inventory. | <urn:uuid:40c773db-9992-4dca-a5db-eee9e7e8112a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,202 |
Police and school officials investigate bullying case at Ben Hill Primary
Investigators say there is not enough information to press charges at this time.
A Ben Hill Primary School parent says her son is the target of bullying and wants answers.
April Roberts says that her 8-year-old son Triston was hung on the back of a bathroom room stall door by a group of children.
Another child entering the bathroom heard his struggle to get free and alerted a teacher. The teacher helped Triston and took him to the school nurse and believed him to be ok. His mother was then called to pick him up.
Roberts says that after picking up Triston, she thought he was dazed and proceeded to take him to the doctor.
Triston was able to identify a group of boys who he said were responsible for hanging him on the stall door.
Ben Hill Primary School and the Fitzgerald Police Department are investigating the incident.
Triston is doing fine, and is being kept home from school for a few days while things are being sorted out. | <urn:uuid:812d48a6-17b7-4583-a837-8eda0aa1d8ff> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,011 |

Pursuing Our Purpose-Part 5: Defining Pursuit as Following and Catching Something Valuable
Now we can move on to addressing the three variations in defining the “pursuing” part of pursuing our purpose, as the third segment of my series on Preventing Procrastination, Prizing Prioritizing, and Pursuing Purpose.
This post is about the first of those three variations in meaning:
**To Pursue: to follow and try to catch or capture (someone or something)
for usually a long distance or time.**
I think this quote is especially relevant for this series. As we follow and try to “capture” our purpose in life, it isn’t something that’s going to happen immediately. It’s an effort that requires one step at a time. Each step forward on our journey brings us that much closer to attaining our goals, and capturing or fulfilling our purpose in life.
I don’t care how much power, brilliance or energy you have;
if you don’t harness it and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there,
you’re never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants.
So what do you think about this definition as it relates to pursuing our purpose? Can you relate? Are you moving forward toward your goals and purpose in life?
COMING UP NEXT: Moving on to the second definition of “to pursue” as to try to get or do (something) over a period of time. | <urn:uuid:1095e25f-a80f-49f5-a647-a8bacc7f8c7b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,330 |
John Pryer’s map ‘A Pocket Companion of ye Roads of the South Part of Great Britain, called England and Wales…’ is not what it first appears. Originally printed in 1724 the map shows the road system of England and Wales giving distances between major towns and cities and is similar to a host of road and travelling maps published around the same time.
Overprinted onto the original map is additional information tracking the path across the Southern parts of Ireland and England of a solar eclipse on the 11th of May, 1724. Given that the map dates from 1724 there is a chance that this map was published after the eclipse to show the route of the shadow of the Sun, not before. Either way this is the earliest sheet map held in the Bodleian to show the path of an eclipse of the Sun.
A Pocket Companion of ye Roads of the South Part of Great Britain…1724. Gough Maps England and Wales 50
Pryer’s map is a copy of an earlier map with the same title by Herman Moll, from 1708. This map went through several editions and was copied, both legitimately and not, a number of times. Moll includes a complaint against copyists in a piece of text on the map
‘Since ye beginning of this new sett of maps now completely finish’d, several ignorant pretenders have started up & with great shew & noise frequently advertised their trifling performances: calling them cheap, curious, useful & correct: as to the first epithet, they are really dear at any price; in ye 2d. place , everybody may see they are wild, confused and poorly engraven; as for their usefulness, they tend only to lead people into errors; and so far from being correct, that the projection of their principal maps is notoriously false’.
It is not recorded whether Pryer is one of Moll’s ‘Ignorant pretenders’, though the lack of any mention of Moll and his map makes it likely that Pryer used Moll without authority. It does bring into question though why he would include the diatribe against unscrupulous publishers and cartographers if he was one himself.
If there is doubt about Pryer and Moll there can be little of Moll’s opinion of one of the most celebrated cartographers of the time, John Ogilby. Ogilby created, with the publication of
The road from Oxford to Salisbury…from John Ogilby’s Britannia, circa 1675. (E) C17 (370)
Britannia in 1675, the first road map of Great Britain, and with it introduced the concept of strip maps. In the legend to Moll’s original map, and kept in Pryer’s reprint, is the following
/ Principal cross roads & many not to be found in Mr. Ogilby’s book
This seems a harsh dig at what was, for it’s time, a revolutionary way of showing main post routes and the level of detail involved was far greater than that of other maps of the time, including Moll. Ogilby’s innovative design included mile indicators, side routes and hills (including showing the direction of slope) and was soon taken up by other cartographers in both this country and abroad.
The Eighteenth Century saw an increase in both the publication and quality of maps such as Pryer’s as the growth in both astronomy and scientific knowledge advanced, and with it the ability to predict and plot each eclipse. Previously eclipses were reduced to diagrams in the corners of world maps, such as the example here from John Speed’s ‘Prospect of the World’ atlas for 1627.
Extract from ‘A new and accurat map of the World, drawn according to ye truest description, latest discoveries & best observations yt have beene made by English or strangers’.

As a parent, there is nothing that elicits more fear than a phone call from the hospital or from the county jail. We all make bad decisions at some point in our lives, and our kids are not exempt from learning those life lessons. Hearing the ill-fated words, “I’ve been arrested” is enough to induce panic and anxiety in any parent. A single decision made “in the moment” can have serious consequences, even when your child has no prior criminal history.
What to Do Immediately Following Your Child’s Arrest
Just because your child does not have any criminal record does not mean that the prosecuting attorney, whether it be the District Attorney’s Office or the County Attorney’s Office, will be lenient on them. Even if this is a first-time offense, you’ll still need to take the following steps to protect your child and their future.
1. Stay calm
The best practice following an arrest is to remain calm so that you can think and act logically. By remaining calm, you won’t be as likely to make impulsive decisions that could potentially harm your child’s case or impulsively act on emotionally-charged decisions you may regret later.
Having mixed emotions is completely normal for any parent dealing a child being arrested. And, while you may want to knock some common sense into them when you pick them up at the jail, it is important to remember that emotions such as anger won’t help the situation. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, kids make unwise decisions. No matter how angry you are, you need to set that aside to ensure that any decisions made at this juncture go towards minimizing any potential adverse consequences your child may face, as opposed to driving them away and wanting to deal with it based upon what they read on the internet or heard while in jail.
2. Pay bail or contact a bondsman
After you get past the initial shock of an arrest, the first thing you’ll want to do is get your child out of jail and home safely. In order to get them released from jail, you’ll be required to pay bail. In Williamson County, the magistration process happens relatively quickly, and bonds are set in most cases within 48 hours.
Depending upon the nature of the crime, and if you hired an attorney or your child asked for a court-appointed attorney, it may be possible to get a personal recognizance bond. This means that after paying a minimal processing fee, your child promises to appear at all future court dates, and abide by any bond conditions placed upon them by the magistrate, or they go back to jail.
3. Contact an attorney
One of the most important steps you need to take after an arrest is to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney. The facts surrounding the stop, detention, and arrest are extremely important. Furthermore, depending upon the nature of the offense, there may be an administrative aspect of the case, such as an administrative appeal to keep a driver’s license when charged with DWI or DUI, that will require immediate attention on your part, which if done correctly can provide you with a distinct advantage in your case. Having an experienced attorney on your case as soon as possible can help you prepare and potentially uncover advantages to your defense in court.
Additionally, your criminal defense attorney can serve as an excellent resource for knowledge and insight to moving forward after an arrest, especially when it comes to coming up with creative ideas that may lead to the dismissal of the case, or getting the charges reduced, depending upon the nature of the crime, and your child’s criminal history.
4. Find a source of support for you and your child
Being arrested or having someone close to you be arrested is no minor matter. This is an emotional and difficult time for your family. Don’t underestimate the power of having someone to help you deal with your thoughts and feelings. Seek out someone you can all talk to – preferable a licensed professional counselor or a minister. By using a licensed professional, or a minister, not only can you gain some insight into dealing with the situation, but your attorney has a better chance of keeping such information from being discovered and used against your child should the case go to trial. Your child can benefit immensely by having someone to talk to and guide them after an arrest, because having a mentor or guide can help them keep their future intact.
Collateral Consequences Your Child May Face if Arrested
After dealing with the initial shock of your child being arrested, you may start to wonder about the punishment range that your child faces for the crime that they are accused of doing. While most attorneys can give you the general range of punishment, it is important to know that in addition to potential jail time, probation, or fines, there are other types of consequences your child could face depending upon the nature of the offense. These “collateral consequences” are creatures of statute, and are usually not found in the criminal code. The severity of these consequences can depend heavily on the circumstances surrounding the arrest and whether your child has a criminal record. Take a look at some of the repercussions your child, and subsequently, your family, can face:
1. Temporary loss of driver’s license
A common collateral consequence following an arrest for drug possession, or DWI/DUI is the temporary loss of driving privileges. For example, a conviction for possessing any type of drugs, whether it be marijuana, someone else’s Xanax or Oxycontin, will result in your child losing their driver’s license for 180 days. However, the criminal penalties for some substances such as methamphetamines, cocaine or heroine can be more severe, depending on the quantity involved. With that said, there are ways to craft a resolution to the situation so that your child does not lose their driver’s license, and you don’t return to being an involuntary chauffer for the next six months.
2. Loss or forfeiture of educating funding (scholarships, grants, etc.)
Many students – and their families – may not think about how an arrest or conviction can affect their educational pursuit. They may have falsified perceptions that an arrest simply results in serving community service or paying a fine, but this isn’t always the case.
Any individual arrested for a felony can become ineligible for Texas education scholarships and grants and may face losing the ones they’ve already gained. For college students depending on grants and scholarships to fund their education, this consequence will become a major obstacle in achieving their degree and potentially pose a financial hardship on a student or family. Also, convictions for drug possession, and yes this means Marijuana, can also impact the availability of state and federal funding for college, community college, or vocational and technical schools.
3. Ineligible to reside in on-campus housing at a higher education institution
Any arrest is problematic for an adolescent and it can present major hurdles if your child is beginning college. Any institution of higher education is entitled to obtain a background check that reflects a person’s criminal history, including arrests, on a student that applies to reside in on-campus housing at a college or university. If your child is attending college soon and is planning on living in a dormitory or on-campus apartment, they could be reasonably denied by the college to do so, depending upon the nature of the offense.
A child’s arrest and potential conviction present a difficult situation for your family, which is why you need an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent your child’s rights and help you navigate through the complicated process. If your child has been arrested, contact my office immediately. | <urn:uuid:781f249c-fc19-4eff-ba31-99210a5f0b10> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 7,784 |

Addressing Food Waste in the Hospitality & Foodservice sector
This is an overview of why and where food waste happens. It is a mini guide to help identify specific stages where wastage occurs.
It includes why kitchens waste so much food and what can be done to reduce it?
It is a common misconception that most of the food waste in the hospitality sector comes from the customer’s plate. In an analysis of more than 450 kitchens using Winnow we have found that more than 70% of food waste happens before it gets to the customer. By focusing on overproduction, hospitality businesses can cut waste, costs, and their impact on the environment.

This is an awesome mailbox I made for my students. I painted it with blackboard paint so I can continue to change the names throughout the years. I’m pretty happy about it and it only cost me $20 for 2 of these!

Something I got in class last week. We’re gonna try to use it with the clock we have in the classroom. Useful to introduce time.
This is the poetry station. I find that having the “I can” statements work well for every station. i made my own for this one, as many of the pre-made ones do not address my students’ needs. I use this to help develop phonemic awareness with rhymes, for handwriting skills, and just for the love of poetry. The poems are quite often related to science or social studies content. I have found good ones for my grade here and here . This is the one pictured above.

Hey there – it has been a long time, I know. Here’s some stuff I found interesting.
In addition to being a gifted writer David Abrams is generous. His blog site The Quivering Pen is worth investigating. Self-described as a book evangelist, he is always featuring recent books and articles on writing. He is the author of Fobbit and the upcoming book, Brave Deeds.
I follow David Abrams on social media. That’s where I saw his mention of this article from Esquire, “Why Some Artists Are Struggling to Process a Trump Presidency” by Diana Spechler.

While I am on the subject of creativity used to counter life events, friend to Solace in So Many Words Mike Smith, sax virtuoso, dealt with the death of his mentor and friend Frank Sinatra, Jr. by making an incredible CD, Close Enough for Love. The title song features Kurt Elling and you can listen to it on YouTube. You can buy a CD on Mike’s site or download it on iTunes.
SISMW contributor Elizabeth Kerlikowske just had a poem “In Our Etats Unis” on New Verse News. This poetry site features “politically progressive poetry on current events and topical issues.”
Last night I shoveled the driveway, pushing snow under the spruce. When I bumped against a branch, snow went down my back. When I finished I tweeted about it, using the hash tag #cheapthrill. One nice Twitter user responded by tweeting (in two tweets) “Dust of Snow” by Robert Frost. It is in the public domain so I will share it below. THANKS to twindy5 for that nice exchange–it made my day.
Peace, love, and solace
Dust of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Completion of Phase One: Salvage
Today, a month ago, the Jagger Library, the home of UCT Libraries Special Collections, was gutted by fire. A renowned and well-loved library amongst UCT alumni, academics and scholars, and the training ground for many professional librarians, the shock waves of its destruction by a freak of nature reverberated across the world. From a former active contact library abuzz with students to a more scholarly Reading Room since 2012, this disaster has catapulted it into the annals of library history.
This last month bore witness to the massive undertaking to salvage materials impacted by water and evacuate the entire holdings located in its basements. This was made possible by an army of over 2000 volunteers who worked to tight schedules on a daily basis, overseen by UCT Libraries staff and professional conservators who determined the appropriate intervention at the point of triage resulting in approx. 10 000 wet items in cold storage, more than 12 000 crates, spread over 10 locations, that hold materials that are being closely monitored to avoid the onset of mould, and 187 map cabinets to be removed to off-site premises. By working closely with Libraries staff and a small core of volunteers, there was an ongoing transfer of preservation skills, which will enable staff to continue with ongoing preventive preservation of salvaged material.
Despite the lack of experience in the management of a disaster of this scale, the dearth of conservation skills and limited facilities for post-disaster conservation, this salvage operation can only described as a success. This was affirmed during the recent visit of the UNESCO Regional Director, Prof Hubert Gijzen on 11 May. This success was made possible by the goodwill, support, assistance, time and efforts of individuals who shared their expertise and resources voluntarily, academic departments and centres who availed their spaces for storage (English, History, Centre for African Studies, the Kaplan Centre, Centre for Curating the Archive) and external entities such as the Iziko Museum for availing their cold storage and freeze drying facilities.
Recovery Phase commences
As we wrap up this salvage phase, and enter the recovery phase, activities have already commenced in the key focus areas which include:
- initiating and facilitating collaborations with leading national and international universities for continued research support,
- conservation and preservation capacity building,
- infrastructure development,
- business continuity (virtual library services, responses to Special Collections enquiries, reconstituting SC as a library and digitization),
- collection assessment and rebuilding,
- and re-conceptualising and re-imagining the entire network of UCT Libraries including the Jagger Library.
- The rehabilitation of different format materials has commenced in consultation with local and international experts (including Library of Congress and Sony) as we are committed to finding the best solutions for our recovery.
