2-Ingredient Mini Apple Pies!
I am going to truly rock your world with this recipe. This mini apple pie recipe has only 2 ingredients! Yes, you heard me right. I whipped these up last night in no time and it is so easy.
Here are the ingredients:
1 (13 0z) can Pillsbury flaky cinnamon rolls with buttercream frosting
1 1/3 cups apple pie filling, coarsely chopped
That’s it! Can you believe it? Here’s how to make them.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 8 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
Open the package of cinnamon rolls and separate into 8 rolls.
Using your hands, press each cinnamon roll into a muffin cup. Be sure to press them so the dough covers the bottom and the sides.
That’s some cinnamon roll yumminess right there.
Next, scoop 2 tablespoons of pie filling into each dough cup.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
While the lovely little pies are cooling, take the buttercream frosting that came with the cinnamon rolls and spoon it into a microwave safe dish. Heat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until it reaches a drizzle consistency.
Using a spoon, remove the pies from the pan and place them on a dish.
Take a spoon or a fork and drizzle those babies with the sweet frosting. | <urn:uuid:0ee460d6-324c-46a7-ac2e-88eb69bc7e11> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,262 |
Transplanting Teeth (c.1790) [Engraving]
This print is by Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) and is dated 1787. It is a satirical comment upon the real practice of rich gentlemen and ladies of the 18th century paying for teeth to be pulled from poor children and transplanted in their gums. The dentist present is portrayed as a quack. There are even two quacking ducks on the placard advertising his fake credentials. He is busy pulling teeth from the mouth of a poor young chimney sweep. Covered in soot and exhausted, he slumps in a chair. Meanwhile the dentist's assistant transplants a tooth into a fashionably dressed young lady's mouth. Two children can be seen leaving the room clutching their faces and obviously in pain from having their teeth extracted. As people lost most of their teeth by age 21 due to gum disease, teeth transplants were popular for some time in England although they rarely worked.

Rhetorical Realism responds to the surging interest in nonhumans across the humanities by exploring how realist commitments have historically accompanied understandings of rhetoric from antiquity to the present. For a discipline that often defines itself according to human speech and writing, the nonhuman turn poses a number of challenges and opportunities for rhetoric. To date, many of the responses to the nonhuman turn in rhetoric have sought to address rhetoric’s compatibility with new conceptions of materiality. In Rhetorical Realism, Scot Barnett extends this work by transforming it into a new historiographic methodology attuned to the presence and occlusion of things in rhetorical history. Through investigations of rhetoric’s place in Aristotelian metaphysics, the language invention movement of the seventeenth century, and postmodern conceptions of rhetoric as an epistemic art, Barnett’s study expands the scope of rhetorical inquiry by showing how realist ideas have worked to frame rhetoric’s scope and meanings during key moments in its history. Ultimately, Barnett argues that all versions of rhetoric depend upon some realist assumptions about the world. Rather than conceive of the nonhuman as a dramatic turning point in rhetorical theory, Rhetorical Realism encourages rhetorical theorists to turn another eye toward what rhetoricians have always done—defining and configuring rhetoric within a broader ontology of things.

Everyone loves classic cars- well, at least everyone who knows anything about cars. Names like Royce, Chrysler and Cadillac are names that we are all familiar with and some of them have been around fo close to centuries. However, although they may each carry a considerable amount of style and sophistication, they are not necessarily all the same. That is why it is important to take time when choosing classic cars to buy instead of rushing to buy the first car that you come across. Before you make any decisions, ask yourself a number of questions and then base your decision on the answers that you get to those questions. The most important of these are explained below.
How much does it cost?
When it comes to the cost of a classic car, do not just think about the amount of money that it is going to cost you to buy but also think about how much money it will cost you to run and maintain it. In terms of the purchasing cost, you can significantly reduce your expenses by going for used cars instead of new ones. Finding, for instance, a used Cadillac Escalade on Phoenix may be a little challenging but it would be worth it since you will end up paying less and saving money as compared to the cost of buying a brand new escalade. However, on this matter you might not really have much of a choice since it is practically impossible to find a brand new classic car nowadays and the best that you can hope for can be a professionally restored classic car. In terms of maintenances costs, most classic cars are delicate and prone to break down at the slightest of accidents. They therefore require regular maintenance so before you buy one you should consider whether or not you have the time, energy and financial muscle that it would take to carry out all the maintenance.
How available are its parts?
Just like the cars themselves, the spare parts of most classic cars are pretty rare and not easy to come by. Since, as earlier mentioned, classic cars break down easily, you might need several new parts in the future after you have bought the car and it is in your best interest to first find out in advance if you will be able to get them and afford them if you do.
The best thing about classic cars is that once they are classified as classics then so they shall always remain and their values will always keep on increasing even if the cars themselves continue to age and get beaten down along the way with the passage of time. | <urn:uuid:70236b68-0ce4-4ee5-9a74-89ca1f340949> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,441 |
[15 April 2014]
PopMatters Associate Music Editor
I’ve never actually seen Mudhoney play live. In 1998, I watched them do a soundcheck with “A Thousand Forms of Mind”. For reasons too complicated, I could not stay for the actual show. In 2008 they came to my hometown but it was my firstborn’s first night home from the hospital. A good friend of mine attended; I did not. Not long ago I got to review a live DVD that documented one of their first overseas shows in 1988. It was a crazy little artifact from such an ambiguous era in music, but I suspected that it didn’t give me a sense of what Mudhoney was capable of these days. Let’s face it, scouring Youtube for live footage will never be a substitute for watching the real thing in person. Do Mudhoney, after all of these years, still put on a hell of a show? That’s a question for the eyewitnesses.
As I continue to wait for another opportunity to see Mudhoney, Live at Third Man Records fell in my lap. The influential Seattle quartet was touring in support of its latest album, Vanishing Point, when they barged in on the Nashville label/store Third Man and played this set. It’s only 10 songs, and I don’t know if it’s the full set or not (online details are pretty slim, but you can purchase the vinyl here). But from the moment the emcee announces the name “Mudhoney” to the audience, you know that it’s not going to be one of those tame in-store PR opps. The crowd roars, drummer Dan Peters pounds the skins, the ugly guitars of “Slipping Away” grind into gear, and suddenly the cover art of Superfuzz Bigmuff doesn’t feel like such a distant memory.
Five songs from Vanishing Point make it onto the record. The remaining five feature a few less-than-obvious choices like “Ghost”, “I’m Now”, and “When Tomorrow Hits”, the last of which has lead singer Mark Arm paraphrasing Wire’s “Lowdown” just before it ends. There are a couple of old favorites, but neither of them are “Touch Me I’m Sick”. “In ‘N’ Out of Grace” is a show stealer. The catatonic beginning sounds ungodly loud, so it’s a little surprising to hear some screams and yelps cutting through the mix when Arm starts abusing his vocal chords to the tune of “Jesus take me to a higher place!” Speaking of which, it’s hard to believe that Arm still has a voice after all of these years. If he sings like this on every night of a tour, he must be doing something miraculous to keep it intact for so long. Peters’s drum solo lasts for two minutes before guitarists Arm and Steve Turner slide into their dueling solos for two seemingly different songs. Even when the song lasts eight minutes, the crowd laps it up. “Here Comes Sickness”, from a similar era in Mudhoney’s history, is another barnstormer that sounds like Mudhoney have yet to grow tired of playing it. That’s saying something, considering that the band’s eponymous album is now 25 years old.
The five songs from Vanishing Point sound unsurprisingly like their studio renditions. But considering how well the 2013 songs sit alongside the 1989 songs, Live at Third Man Records proves just how Mudhoney have stayed true to themselves over the years. Anyone with a limited knowledge of the band could hear that “The Final Course” has just as much vitality as “Here Comes Sickness”. “Chardonnay” cracks faster and louder than almost anything else they’ve done, and their in-concert rendition does it justice. Only “What to Do with the Neutral” doesn’t tap into the high energy in the same way. Guy Maddison’s wonky bass line is more funk parody than Stooges homage, but the chorus still packs the punk. Mudhoney’s thick guitar sound remains undiluted; put just two of them on stage and it sounds like more.
So I still have yet to catch Mudhoney, but at least I’m safe with the knowledge that their live heyday is not behind them. Live at Third Man Records is proof positive of that. I’ve watched that 1988 DVD, I’ve been listening to this record—I believe they’re in good shape. Now I just have to go and see it, not just hear it, for myself. | <urn:uuid:984bab61-5824-4047-aa55-4b32da12acc1> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,022 |

Question and Answer
Q) Why Did National Parks Become a Thing?
A) Way back in 1872, thanks to the persistent documentation and pleading of explorers, President Ulysses S. Grant signed Yellowstone National Park into existence. This was the very first park of its kind for the United States.
In the Yellowstone Protection Act of 1872 (the legal document that established Yellowstone as a national park), it is written that one of the purposes of a national park is to be "dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people" as well as to be "reserved and withdrawn from settlement, occupancy, or sale under the laws of the United States". The goal was to protect the land for the sake of preservation as well as for being enjoyed by the people (us).
It took many years, expeditions, reports, and detailed artwork to get the ball moving. Even after Yellowstone became a National Park, it was another 18 years before the next one was established and another 26 years after that before the National Park System was created.
There is a lot of interesting history about how Yellowstone came about. To learn more about the very first National Park, check out this post.
Q) Who Established the Most National Parks?
A) Many presidents throughout America’s history have signed in national parks. However, one president in particular stands out for how many he established. President Jimmy Carter is responsible for the creation of 10 national parks and preserves. Some of the national parks that were established under him include: Wrangell-St. Elias, Lake Clark, Kobuk Valley, Kenai Fjords, Gates of the Arctic, Glacier Bay, Channel Islands, and Biscayne.
While Jimmy Carter established the most national parks, Theodore Roosevelt is considered “the conservation president“ doubling the number of national parks during his presidency by adding five national parks. He signed in Crater Lake, Wind Cave, and Mesa Verde National Parks. The other two that he established are no longer national parks. Sullys Hills in North Dakota, though once a national park, is now classified as a game preserve. Similarly, Platt in Oklahoma is now part of Chickasaw National Recreational Area. Not only did he sign in five National parks, but established 18 national monuments, 51 federal bird sanctuaries, 150 national forests, and four national game preserves. All this added together totals over 230 million acres of land set aside, which is more than any other president and is how he got this title.
Q) Why are Some Places No Longer National Parks?
A) The short answer is that someone decided the land didn't truly fit the box for a national park and the place is therefore assigned a different name. Some become recreational areas, game preserves, or part of another national park instead. There are several examples of these changes.
In the case of Mackinac National Park (1875-1895), the state gained control of the land turning it into the first ever state park rather than a national park. Mackinac was technically the second national park, but is not on my list because it is now a state park.
I think part of the reason that this was so common is that the National Park System wasn't founded right away and it took a long time for rules and an effective system to be made. People were unsure about how things should be run and what exactly the goal or purpose was. All this combined led to people changing their minds and reclassifying some national parks.
Q) What is the Smallest national Park?
A) With only 192 acres (or .3 square miles), Gateway Arch is the smallest National Park. Compare this to the second smallest national park, Hot Springs, that has 5,549 acres.
Q) What is the Largest National Park?
A) Wrangell-St. Elias is the largest national park with 13,175,799 acres (or nearly 20,600 square miles). This makes it roughly six times the size of Yellowstone National Park.
Q) Which State Has the Most National Parks?
A) California has nine national parks including Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Redwood, Lassen Volcanic, Channel Islands, and Pinnacles. Together this adds up to almost 10,000 square miles of national park land in California alone.
Alaska takes second place with eight national parks, just one shy of California.
Q) What Is the Most Visited National Park?
A) With over 12 million visitors in 2020, Great Smokey Mountains is the most visited national park. Located in North Carolina and Tennessee, this national park is consistently in the lead for this title year after year. So far, 2019 holds the lead for the year that this park received the most visitors reaching over 12.5 million visitors.
Q) What Is the Least Visited National Park?
A) Receiving just under 3,000 visitors in 2020, Gates Of The Arctic is the least visited national park. It is no surprise that this park receives the least visitors because of how difficult it is to get there and the harsh conditions you may face upon arrival. This park that has no roads or trails is not for the inexperienced. Getting to this remote location requires a long hike in or flying in via an air-taxi. Then once you get there, you make your own trail and try to avoid the grizzly bears!
Q) What are the “Mighty Five”?
A) “The Mighty Five” is a nickname given to the five national parks in Utah State. These five include: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion. They all look similar at first with all the red rock, but each park offers unique features and different experiences. These parks are quite popular for off-roading as well as hiking despite the high temperatures found here.
I hope this reference guide was helpful for you and you learned some fun facts about the national parks! | <urn:uuid:a5deb180-d2b4-4315-9f03-06b32884a2c3> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 8,437 |
All the alphabet coloring pages are designed by designers who draw alphabets in variety of shapes that create some kind of interest in their minds and they can imagine and related them to objects. Such images on the pages reinforce letter and numeric figure recognition and also improve writing skills. The children also try to draw or write the alphabets beautifully as in the coloring pages. Thus their basic starts with some discipline and interest to create things better. As already stated that alphabet coloring pages are specially designed for preschool children, however they can also be used for toddlers, kindergarten students, and also for first grade students who are little slow in learning. They have been designed to have good and positive impact on the learning capacities of children.
The vast numbers of benefits to children practicing on coloring pages simply can not be overstated from a psychological point of view. It’s important to start children on easy images so that they can experience a sense of achievement. As their coloring skill improves, they can be given more complex patterns and images to color. Giving children books and pages to color is a highly effective way to help them become better artists and writers, to enable them to concentrate better, to reduce the likelihood that they will suffer from mental problems, and to teach them important life lessons and values. Children who begin coloring at a young age will enjoy the benefits it can bestow for years to come.You can even print out some and hold a coloring competition amongst your kids or your class. It is all too common for the coloring sheets that are given out and taken home to become lost, torn, or crumpled up. Obviously such damaged coloring pages are no use for the competition anymore. Parents can be instructed to go online and print out replacement printable coloring pages. It only requires a computer, Internet connection, and a printer to come up with such a contest entry replacement.
What are the most popular preschool coloring pages for kids? Utilizing colors could be an excellent way to inculcate the nature, trees, water bodies, and other environmental surroundings with ease. Kids learn faster through outdoor fun activities, by make use of nature you can introduce vibrant colors to your kids. You can also plan a visit to the nearest zoo, to make your younger ones understand the animal coloring worksheets. Earth coloring pages or worksheets or activity books could be the easy to use option for parents and preschool teachers. Food drawing worksheets, animated drawing worksheets, Alphabets drawing worksheets and many more are available online in printable coloring pages format.
Improves Hand to Eye Coordination - When children are giving pictures to color, they definitely will hold the crayon and from time to time will check what they have done so far, to determine the next color to use. These activities will help them greatly in their hand and eye coordination. They also have to make sure that the colors does not go beyond the expected line and are required to sharpen the crayons from time to time. | <urn:uuid:22f4e19c-c1b8-4a47-b651-c29bdd41f4e7> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,135 |
Just days after unleashing the Juicy J-assisted single, “Rick James,” Keyshia Cole has released another offering from her upcoming, sixth album.
The singer taps into her vulnerable side on a mid-tempo track called “Next Time (Won’t Give My Heart Away),” which was posted on her official SoundCloud page. The singer revealed on Twitter that she freestyled the entire song.
“The crazy part about it is I took you right back / I thought you were a changed man / I tried to work it out for the sake of my family / But you took my kindness for weakness and my love for granted,” she sings.
Fans can expect the follow-up to 2012’s Woman to Woman will be out in August.

“To educate a person in mind and not and not morals is to educate a menace to society.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
There are a myriad of skills that our children are expected to learn and master in order to excel in the everchanging world and social terrain. In trying to give them the skills required to take the world on, we may tend to overlook the foundational skills that are just as important, if not more. It is important that parents don’t miss out on teaching their children valuable and important life lessons. While some psychologists believe that it is impossible to teach values to your child. And this is true to an extent, in the sense that telling your child to be more honest, hardworking, diligent, compassionate, and empathetic, etc. is not very effective.
In recent years, schools have tried to accommodate and incorporate moral and social values development into their curriculum. Schools have a difficult time teaching children values for two glaring reasons; first being the problem of time. Schools have their plates full with what they are trying to teach kids; with math, science, and a variety of subjects and topics to cover. The second problem being that of timing. By the time school starts, it is already too late for schools to intervene in an attempt to impart and teach social and moral values to children. The foundation of values has already been laid out.
In addition to the two prior stated problems which are rather obvious, there is a third problem that is just as detrimental, but far more subtle. This is the problem that arises from the values being taught at home and the values being taught at school. This causes the child to be at odds, being pulled in both directions with no middle ground ever being reached.
The truth of the matter is that children begin to pick up values from their parents and the adults around them from the time they are toddlers. So, the question is not whether we are teaching them values, but what we are teaching them.
How do kids learn values then? The answer is rather simple. They learn values by observing what you do, and drawing conclusions about what they should do by watching and observing their parents and the important adults around them. While what parents teach them consciously is still important, the subconscious behavior and actions have a far deeper impact on children and how they emerge out of their childhood with a fairly clear view on value system embedded in them. If parents want to emphasize the importance of reading to children, they must ensure they are seen reading. Bond with the kids over books. Get books for babies from an early age.
Of course, parents are not the only source from which children learn values. Their friends and peers play a somewhat significant role in shaping your child’s value system. While peers and friends do play a part, research shows that the relationship that parents have with their children is the far more important and impactful.
Children are learning values in one way or another, whether that be – consciously or subconsciously. So how do we teach them those values consciously? Values are a topic that is not discussed or talked about in most households. It is assumed that children will develop a value system about what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad automatically, as if it were magic. But that’s not how it works. Teaching values consciously begins with looking inward and considering what our values are, and then finding a way to incorporate them into our daily lives and openly discussing it with our children.
Of course, it is more complicated than that and it is not a guarantee that children will follow the values we try to impart onto them. But following the values we are trying to impart to them will go a long way.
There are 10 core and primary moral competencies that all humans need. Those being – decency, fairness, empathy, self-sacrifice, responsibility, duty, loyalty, service, honesty, and honor. The list of values goes on and on, but this is a good place to start.
While introducing values to your child can seem like a daunting task, with a multitude of questions crossing your mind, here are some things to keep in mind while teaching your child about values:
1. Make the values relevant to your child’s world
Values may seem entirely theoretical until you start teaching them and when your kids start relating them to their real life. To make teaching effective, try relating the values you are attempting to teach them to the real world, their environment and their lives. Personalize the experience.
2. Be careful and aware of what you’re teaching them
It isn’t always about what you say, but rather what you do and how you act. Children learn far more from actions than words. So make sure that your actions match and line up with the values you are attempting to teach them.
3. Empathy and compassion are paramount
Empathy is the foundation of all values and children don’t “learn” empathy by being told to feel it; they have to be shown empathy in order to learn and understand it and by watching your reactions and response to others.
4. Explain and elaborate on your values and why you believe in them
Talk about your values, why they are important to you and why you believe in them. Follow this up by acting on them. This will help your children understand on a deeper level; a level that cannot be reached by words alone.
5. Discuss certain decisions and actions you take based on your value system
Discuss decisions you make and why you take certain actions rather than others based on the values you preach. Doing this will explain and add more context to some of your actions and decisions that your child may not be able to understand.
6. Emphasize on expressing your values and morals
When you see your child voicing a value that you deem important, acknowledge your child specifically for expressing those values you hold in high regard. This will only further encourage them to demonstrate the values you teach them.
7. Avoid lecturing your child
Every moment is not a “teachable moment.” Teachable moments are only effective when the child is willing and open to learning. So, more often than not lecturing can have the adverse of the intended effect on your child.
8. Encourage your child’s initiatives
When your child decides that they want to take part in a social initiative, such as cleaning the park, etc. you should encourage their actions. This will only further encourage them to take part in more such initiatives. There are so many projects from all around the world that children have taken part in that have had a positive impact on the world.
9. Encourage good sportsmanship to your children
Some children are more competitive than others from birth. They are naturally more competitive. But all children need to be taught about good sportsmanship, regardless of whether they win or lose.
10. Give your children opportunity to contribute to the community and charities
Providing your child with opportunities to contribute to the community will only aid in strengthening their values in the long run. This can be in a variety of forms, such as contributing to charities, clean up drives, etc.
Have a look at the Learning Values with Lucy & Wiz program from Learning Time. The stories from around the world are a great way to introduce these values in children in a fun and engaging way.

Hi, Ned here again. The Microsoft Office 2007 product group has released a terrific new whitepaper that covers the ins and outs of deploying Group Policy settings for Office 2007, and they asked that we share the love with you here from AskDS.
The whitepaper covers (in 187 exhaustive pages) recommendations and how-to info for Planning, Deployment, Operations, and a complete technical reference. This guide is actually a subset of the even more massive 2007 Office Resource Kit.
And while this is linked in the document, there’s also a complete set of ADM, ADMX, and ADML group policy templates available.
Finally, you may also want to grab the 2007 Office Security Guide. This whitepaper covers the aspects of security that are often overlooked – document security once it leaves your safe and secure file servers. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability are the watchwords here. It has a number of tie-ins to Group Policy as well.
Keep in mind that these templates and Office Group Policy are supported by the Office teams. In Directory Services, we support you getting the policies onto your users and machines – it’s up to the component affected to have it actually work as expected. But I figured if you read this blog, you probably care about GP. 🙂
If you want to get more info on the Office suite and stay in the MS blog-o-sphere, check out:
Dang, that’s a lot of links. Nice work, Office folks.

Coronation Street is reportedly set to tackle a challenging teen pregnancy storyline.
14-year-old Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney, will reportedly announce that she's expecting a baby in the New Year.
According to the Sun, the difficult scenes will show her being pressured by parents Steve and Tracey to get an abortion, which she is said to initially agree to.
Coronation Street's Amy is set to be at the centre of a pregnancy storyline next year. (via ITV)
Amy is then said to have a change of heart and decide to keep the baby.
A source close to the show told the publication "Amy is seen sobbing her heart out, asking her granny Liz to help. Steve finds a pregnancy kit and tells Tracy about it and they both lose their rag. Tracy says she wants to kill the baby’s father."
The insider claims "They demand an abortion and Amy agrees but changes her mind at the 11th hour."
Back in 2000, the soap took on a similar situation when 13-year-old Sarah Platt found out she was pregnant with her first child, Bethany.
Producers are yet to confirm that the storyline is happening. | <urn:uuid:00707bed-cbcf-43f9-a0a1-21ac7b4436a7> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,074 |
NEW DELHI: Air France has taken delivery of its first A350-900, the world’s most efficient all new design wide-body aircraft.
The first jet out of a total order of 28 was handed over to Anne Rigail, Air France Chief Executive Officer and Benjamin Smith, Air France-KLM Group Chief Executive Officer, by Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer during a ceremony held in Toulouse, France.
Air France will deploy the A350-900 fleet on its transatlantic and Asia routes. The Xtra WideBody aircraft features a comfortable three-class layout with 324 seats including 34 full-flat business, 24 premium economy and 266 economy class seats.
Fully in line with Air France’s commitment to the environment, the all-new A350-900 will provide a 25% reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions. Additionally, the aircraft’s delivery flight from Toulouse to Paris will be powered with a blend of conventional and synthetic biofuel.
Air France operates an Airbus fleet of 143 aircraft. It includes 114 single-aisle and 29 wide-body planes. The airline recently opted to purchase Airbus’ newest aircraft family member, the A220, which will join the fleet over the next years.
The A350 XWB offers by design unrivalled operational flexibility and efficiency for all market segments – up to ultra-long haul (17,900km). Its Airspace by Airbus cabin is the quietest of any twin-aisle aircraft and offers passengers and crews the most modern in-flight flying experience. The aircraft features the latest aerodynamic design, a carbon fibre fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.
Together, these latest technologies result in 25% lower operating costs, as well as 25% reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions compared with previous-generation competing aircraft – demonstrating Airbus’ commitment to minimise its environmental impact while remaining at the cutting edge of air travel.
At the end of August 2019, the A350 XWB Family had received 913 firm orders from 51 customers worldwide, making it one of the most successful wide-body aircraft ever. | <urn:uuid:c03d10ce-0d87-4890-93aa-6c8b58f63620> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,068 |
Detailed Findings & Methodology
The prevalence of excessive drinking varies substantially across the country. For example, the states with the highest rates of excessive drinking are concentrated in the Midwest. The states with with the lowest rates, on the other hand, are predominantly located in the South.
Roadway fatalities involving alcohol are one of the most common causes of preventable death in the United States. According to the CDC, nearly 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes involving an alcohol-impaired driver every single day. Overall, some 30.0% of all traffic fatalities nationwide involve alcohol. And this tragedy is costing the nation a significant amount of money. In a recent study, the CDC also found alcohol-related car crashes cost the U.S. economy over $44 billion each year.
Not surprisingly, states with higher excessive drinking rates are more likely to have deadly roadway accidents involving alcohol. Eight of the 10 states with the largest shares of adults binge drinking or drinking heavily have above average rates of alcohol-related roadway fatalities.
Excessive drinking is by no means healthy, yet the states with the highest excessive drinking rates tend to report better health outcomes than those with lower rates. Only three of the 15 states with the highest drinking rates report above average shares of adults in fair or poor health. In addition, seven of the 10 states with the highest excessive drinking rates report below average premature death rates.
24/7 Wall St. interviewed the director of the National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, George Koob. Koob says there is a clear correlation between a state’s excessive drinking rate and income. Among the states with the highest excessive drinking rates, the annual median household income tends to be much greater than in states with lower drinking rates.
Of the 25 states with the highest excessive drinking rates, 14 have median annual household incomes that exceed the national figure of $57,617. Of the 10 states drinking the least, nine have median household incomes below the national median. One potential reason for this relationship is the fact that alcohol is expensive.
While there is a relationship between income and excessive drinking, Koob added that the pattern is complicated, and noted that while there is a correlation on the state level, “If you look at individuals, the pattern is somewhat different.” While indeed a larger share of affluent individuals drink excessively, “…they do so less heavily.” Similarly, while low-income individuals drink to excess less frequently, the amount of alcohol they consume tends to be greater when they do drink.
There are many other factors that can lead populations to binge drink and drink heavily beyond income, Koob explained. The reasons that may lead to more excessive drinking, such as availability of alcohol, taxes, cost of living, and even the weather, vary largely by state.
Overconsumption of alcohol is just one behavioral factor that that can negatively affect health. For example, smoking regularly and leading a sedentary life can also take a toll on health. Lung cancer and obesity are just two of the many poor health outcomes that can arise from such unhealthy behavioral factors.
To identify the drunkest states in America, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the percentage of men and women over 18 who report binge or heavy drinking in every state. Excessive alcohol consumption, according to the CDC, includes binge drinking and heavy drinking. Binge drinking is defined as four or more drinks in a single occasion for women and five or more for men, and heavy drinking is defined as at least eight drinks per week for women and 15 for men. State data came from the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute joint program. Health outcomes, including the premature death rate, which is the number of deaths before age 75 per 100,000 people, and the percentage of adults who report being in fair or poor health also came from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. All data are as of the most recent available year. Social and economic factors, including median household incomes and poverty rates, were retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2016 American Community Survey. Data on alcohol-induced mortality rates came from the CDC and are for 2015. | <urn:uuid:b812f981-e354-4b59-bc4c-dbff62b5423d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,431 |
Rethink the monolith
What are Microservices?
The Microservices architectural style describes an approach to structuring systems as a collection of loosely-coupled services. The architectural style goes hand-in-hand with small, autonomous teams that develop, deploy, and scale their services independently.
An online survey of 500 software and IT professionals found that:
of teams report Microservices make it easier to test or deploy features.
Failures at the service level don't bring down the whole system and can be resolved more quickly, often with automation.
Faster builds and less risky deployments with smaller code bases. Services can be replaced by new versions or different services without needed to change or bring-down the whole system.
Infrastructure is the platform
Fewer and simpler platform layers simplifies development and operations. Technologies can be chosen based on the needs of the service or different skill-sets of the team.
Challenges of adopting Microservices
Project-centric budgeting often leads to separating building a service from running it, defeating rapid cycles of learning from real production data.
Few organizations get to start over with Microservices and have to live with both monolith and Microservices. The mix of architectures and associated tools can add considerable complexity.
Microservices are highly decentralized and while decentralization reduces some forms of complexity, it can make it hard to coordinate in the event of service degradation or a full-on outage.
of teams report Microservices leads to increased flexibility in developing software
Empower your team with practices that fit the Microservices scale today
With the right infrastructure and adherence to a few best practices, your team can start moving projects to a Microservices structure today.
Make plans in terms of products
Plan Microservices for products that will have long-running teams with development and operational responsibilities. Jira Software expresses a team's work for a Microservice in a backlog, where it's easy to adjust to new business needs but also to observations from real operation.
Evolve Microservices in tandem with monoliths
Allow developers to pick off pieces of the monolith and retire them with new Microservices, which means empowering teams to create new micro-repositories. The project-level admin features in Jira Software and Bitbucket help maintain governance even while delegating capabilities.
Have an incident communication plan
Have a communication plan and broadcast service and incident status to internal and/or external consumers. Keep Microservice consumers informed with Statuspage, so the Microservice team can focus on solving problems. In Statuspage, each Microservice is modeled as a component.
Enable a Microservice architecture with Jira Software and Bitbucket
Create a Jira project for each Microservice to provide sufficient autonomy for teams to control their own work.
A Bitbucket repository and deployment pipeline for every Microservice and sufficient autonomy for teams to control their own source code.
Generate automatic notifications about service failure and health checks. The components correspond to Microservices to provide information about what's working and what's not.
Lay the foundation for Microservices
Jira Software and Bitbucket provide teams the tools and structure to create a Microservices architecture. Get started for free today.

January 8, 2014
The sun erupted with a powerful solar flare on Tuesday, disrupting radio traffic and sending a blast of electrically charged particles our way. And there may be more blasts to come.
The X1.2-class flare was recorded by sun-observing satellites, including NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, at about 2:32 p.m. ET. X-class flares are the strongest category of solar outbursts, although X1.2 is toward the category’s low end. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said the flare sparked a strong radio blackout.
For days, space weather forecasters have been bracing themselves for solar eruptions from a large active sunspot region called AR1944. This region has now turned to face Earth directly, which means strong solar flares are likely to send storms of charged particles — also known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs — heading straight for us. | <urn:uuid:17784f01-25bb-47c2-8c2f-c10a2f620b64> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 912 |
"Tall, Dark & Heartless"
By: R.L. Mathewson
Synopsis from Goodreads:
He should have left her and never looked back.......My Thoughts:
But, that's not how things played out for Caine, a nearly one thousand year old Pyte, who should have known better. Instead of walking away years ago, he stuck around and watched over the only woman he'd ever cared about. When trouble finds her, he knows that he should just cut his losses and walk away, but there was no fighting the hold that woman had on him and now they were both paying the price.
Danni didn't care that she wasn't technically a Sentinel and was putting her life in danger every time she went out on patrol, because she had a job to do. It was the only thing that mattered to her anymore and she wasn't going to let it go without a fight. Unfortunately for her, she didn't foresee her ex-boyfriend selling her out to a Master, being captured, locked up and stuck in a room with the cranky Pyte that broke her heart years ago and wouldn't stop glaring at her as if their little predicament was all her fault.
So first off, a confession. This is the third book in the “Pyte” series but its the first book I read. Its about a given when you start in the middle of the series, you will be a little lost, but luckily I was able to find my way around pretty good. I even thought about stopping and starting with the first book, but ultimately was enjoying it so much I forged ahead!
Caine is a Pyte, pretty much an equivalent of a vampire. He drinks blood, super strength, stays in during the day...the whole deal. Danni is the daughter of a Sentinel, a group of people whose job it is to keep Pytes in control and ensure they don’t kill humans. Can you see where this is going? Of course, Caine and Danni fall for one another!
Caine is the ultimate stand-offish/loner. He was close to Danni when she was younger but as soon as she became an adult, he knew he couldn’t be around her. He didn’t want to go all toothy on her if you know what I mean. Yet when Danni is abducted by another vampire, who is there to save her? Caine.
I loooved Caine, I don’t know any other way to put it. He was so solitary but craved attention and just human contact in general. He wanted what was best for everyone, but didn’t know how to go about doing it. To be honest, I don’t know if Danni was a very good match for him. She was oh so whiny at times and seemed to like making him suffer, which quickly began to irritate me.
All in all, this book is a great addition to the Pyte series. I’m happy to say since I read this, I have went back and read the other two in the series. They are both pretty great too. Quirky and at times a little cheesy, they never are dull and introduce you to an entirely different and new paranormal world. Huzzah R.L. Mathewson! So glad to have found this new author!

10 Family-Friendly Movies About Love
So start scrolling through Netflix or scouting out a DVD sale at your favorite big box store for an uplifting blend of live action and animated tales, chronicling everything from falling in love, to restoring fractured relationships, to simply finding friendship within the context of this special day.
Get started with our top 10 list by clicking the blue button below and be sure to share your favorite romantic movies.
The Town That Came A Courtin’
The Princess Bride
With every year that passes, this 1987 treasure continues to influence younger generations while still stirring the souls of the young at heart. That’s because it tells the timeless tale of a humble stable boy falling in love with a well off beauty, who is of course pledged to marry royalty, even if that match isn’t exactly made in heaven.
Nonetheless, there’s plenty of chivalry across the whimsical adventure story that also includes its fair share of abductions and swordplay, rounded out by an all-star cast including Peter Falk, Fred Savage, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin and “The Eighth Wonder Of The World” Andre The Giant.
Sleepless in Seattle
For those needing a quick refresher, it follows a widowed father who gets coaxed by his son to call a radio show, only to become the constant object of encouragement by female listeners who send letters of condolences by the thousands.
Naturally, there’s one note writing lady in particular who just knows they’re meant to be together, but first she’ll have to shake off her fiancé and find a way to meet her better match face to face.
Be My Valentine Charlie Brown
First off, how can anyone resist cuddly characters like Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and Lucy, as created by the incomparable ?
And second, even if the main character doesn’t get the girl of his dreams (not a spoiler since he never seems to have much luck), what’s not to love about an eternal optimist hoping that next year will at least be a little bit better?
But leave it to former Growing Pains heartthrob Kirk Cameron (circa 2008) to lead a lesson in the movie Fireproof — no matter how many grievances a couple has with one another, there’s always hope for full-fledged redemption thanks to the power of prayer and forgiveness.
[READ MORE: ABOUT THE MOVIE]
Father of the Bride
Technically speaking, Father Of The Bride first hit the silver screen in 1950, but the definitive version is unequivocally the 1991 edition starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams and Martin Short.
Not only does it paint a heartwarming picture of a daddy planning to give away his little girl (loaded with hysterical trials and tantrums), but it’s sure fire cure to shatter the pre-nuptial jitters, especially as so many plan to tie the knot this Valentine’s Day.
Pride & Prejudice
Sure, the two might get off to a rocky start, but thanks to some unpredictable intertwining of their seemingly divergent classes and circumstances, there’s a charming love story that unfolds to redefine the age old adage of “never say never.”
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
The classic couple combination of Sidney Poitier and Katharine Houghton sure did have their work cut out for them when meeting up with the leading lady’s parents (played by Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn) and vice-versa, though in the end, a message of unconditional love wins out against unjustified prejudices.
The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That! Hurray! It’s Valentine’s Day!
Rather then revolving specifically around romance, The Cat In The Hat makes a case that friendship is just important on this special day, especially when you’ve got a list that includes the equally engaging Nick, Sally and Fish (to name a few), along with some superb voice work from the unmistakable Martin Short (who just can’t ever seem to get enough of the heart-centered celebration).
One of the most star-studded casts in motion picture history (Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Foxx, Shirley MacLaine, Jessica Alba, Queen Latifah, George Lopez, Taylor Lautner and tons more), cycles through every triumph and blunder imaginable as they attempt to impress the loves of their life.
Somehow, this fast-paced flick (directed by Happy Days/The Odd Couple creator Garry Marshall) manages to strike a chord with everyone from newlyweds to veteran couples and even singles looking for plenty of laughs revolving around love. | <urn:uuid:42a0bd54-85ef-4611-9377-9154c4cfb2c5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,399 |
Michael O’Leary, the owner of Giggsinstown Stud, made an incredible announcement this week. His Gigginstown operation will wind down over the next five years as the O’Leary’s bid farewell to the racing world. It is a bombshell of epic proportions. Not least because of its financial implications on the racing world.
O’Leary plans to phase out his operation over the next five years. And he has advised that he will no longer be buying any new horses at the upcoming sales. The reason, he says, is that his children are getting older and he has less time to go racing.
“We wish to sincerely thank all our trainers and their teams for the enormous success we’ve enjoyed over the past decade.
“But as my children are growing into teenagers I am spending more and more of my time at their activities and I have less and less time for National Hunt racing, a situation that will continue over the foreseeable future.
“I hope that by running down our string over an extended four or five year period it will give trainers ample time to replace our horses without disruption,” O’Leary said.
Dominating National Hunt racing over the last decade, his team were crowned champion owners for a seventh time in Ireland earlier this month. Along with JP McManus and Rich Ricci, Gigginstown is one of the three biggest owners in the country. The notion that his withdrawal from the sport will incur little disruption is almost laughable.
With hundreds of horses across a number of trainers, its impacts will be huge. From the staff that those trainers employ to the local businesses that supply them, it pulls the carpet from under the local racing economy in a lot of rural areas in Ireland. In fact, it has been estimated that Gigginstown contributes more than €10 million to the industry annually.
But his racing strategy over the years has ruffled a lot of feathers. His policy of block entries in most of the valuable races has left little room for anybody else. Often it is quantity over quality. It also ensures that the handicap rating of his horses keeps increasing despite the fact that they are essentially running against each other. With higher handicapped horses, he can enter better races and by block entering them, by default, can win a lot of them. Which is also why Gigginstown earnings topped €4 million last season.
— Aintree Racecourse (@AintreeRaces) April 27, 2019
That isn’t to say that all Gigginstown horses fall into that category. Tiger Roll didn’t win two back-to-back Grand Nationals because of his rating. But conversely, they entered a record 12 runners in the Irish Grand National, dominating the field of 30 runners. They still didn’t win it, in fact, Willie Mullins took home the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers. In total only five of their entries finished the race. It’s a numbers game and one that O’Leary wants to stop playing.
So what now for the horses that run in the famous maroon colours?
“Each and every one of those horses will remain in the Gigginstown colours for the entirety of their career. So hopefully, we can have many more great days to look forward to.” Eddie O’Leary added.
While they may have many great days ahead of them, I suspect that many trainers will be enduring sleepless nights. It is not a good thing for the industry. So few others have the ability to employ such a free-spending strategy which keeps the whole train running. However, Willie Mullins survived his 2016 Gigginstown cull and, with some resilience, so will everybody else who has been left standing in O’Leary’s dust. | <urn:uuid:dfd7de39-65f1-4865-b1f2-3a88e0f1981a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,537 |

For any guests looking to do more than kick back and relax, this bit of Puglia is well worth exploring, from walks along the beach to visiting nearby beautiful towns and sites.
Self-sufficiency is a big part of the Canne Bianche philosophy, with many of the breads, cakes and vegetables made and grown on site, including some delicious post-dinner liqueurs made from plants in the kitchen garden.

So, im playing on Xavius EU, have been doing so since WotLK. At first, the ping was all good, a steady 50ms.
Along came cataclysm, and my ping raised to 90. Not perfect, a little challange for my melee characters.
And now MoP: I had 40 ping the first few weeks. Now after 5.1, im having 190. Thats bad. So I asked GM about it, you know if they possibly changed server location or something. I got a nice Copy-paste answer to look for the FAQ.
So now im stuck in a miserable server, unplayable for melee(pvp) and a slight delay on GCD. What am I supposed to do now really? My ping times against other server have been the same for YEARS. But this fairly low populated server is having a rollercoster ping. Cant afford doing server migration on 5 chars really...
Have anyone experienced the same, and what was your solution? | <urn:uuid:219e9b52-8b0a-4dfa-85a6-36677c018126> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 822 |

As I have already suggested, the case for Warner as a social activist must be understood within the politics of her Presbyterianism, which was deeply conservative and committed to missionary projects that contributed to Euroamerican imperialism. Tompkins’s reinterpretation of Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin as an aesthetic effort to contribute to the politics of abolition is far less controversial, because it is self-evidently supported by the book’s enormous popularity and its nineteenth-century reputation as a major contribution to the fight against slavery.
Indd 22 1/19/2010 4:35:43 PM The Emergence of the Literatures 23 and that writing related to politics and contemporary life would be the wave of the future. They imagined that through the mighty pen they could possess a different form of power available in the growing urban centers where intellectuals met and exchanged ideas and manuscripts, as Alexander Pope and his colleagues in London had done decades earlier. When the young novelist and essayist Charles Brockden Brown of Philadelphia visited his New York friend Elihu Hubbard Smith, a medical student with literary talent and radical philosophical views, Smith introduced him to members of the Friendly Club, a writers’ group that included the playwright William Dunlap.
Transported almost magically from her Aunt Moody’s infernal farm in New York to her aristocratic relatives’ Edinburgh mansion at the end of the novel, the 14-year-old Ellen is a willing convert both to Scottish Presbyterianism and spiritual love (Warner, 1987: 277). Warner’s political conservativism is certainly complex, because her advocacy of “New School” Presbyterianism belongs to a forgotten chapter in nineteenthcentury American Christianity, but her values include staunch patriotism, a missionary zeal to spread her faith, and a defense of the prevailing gender hierarchies of patriarchal America (Rowe, 2003b).

Primordial, structural elements of the human psyche. (See also archetypal image [below] and instinct.)
Archetypes are systems of readiness for action, and at the same time images and emotions. They are inherited with the brain structure – indeed they are its psychic aspect. They represent, on the one hand, a very strong instinctive conservatism, while on the other hand they are the most effective means conceivable of instinctive adaptation. They are thus, essentially, the chthonic portion of the psyche … that portion through which the psyche is attached to nature. [“Mind and Earth,” CW 10, par. 53.]
It is not … a question of inherited ideas but of inherited possibilities of ideas. Nor are they individual acquisitions but, in the main, common to all, as can be seen from [their] universal occurrence. [“Concerning the Archetypes and the Anima Concept,” CW 9i, par. 136.]
Archetypes are irrepresentable in themselves but their effects are discernible in archetypal images and motifs.
Archetypes … present themselves as ideas and images, like everything else that becomes a content of consciousness. [“On the Nature of the Psyche,” CW 8, par. 435.]
Archetypes are, by definition, factors and motifs that arrange the psychic elements into certain images, characterized as archetypal, but in such a way that they can be recognized only from the effects they produce. [“A Psychological Approach to the Trinity,” CW 11, par. 222, note 2.]
Jung also described archetypes as “instinctual images,” the forms which the instincts assume. He illustrated this using the simile of the spectrum.
The dynamism of instinct is lodged as it were in the infra-red part of the spectrum, whereas the instinctual image lies in the ultra-violet part. … The realization and assimilation of instinct never take place at the red end, i.e., by absorption into the instinctual sphere, but only through integration of the image which signifies and at the same time evokes the instinct, although in a form quite different from the one we meet on the biological level. [“On the Nature of the Psyche,” CW 8, par. 414.]
Psychologically … the archetype as an image of instinct is a spiritual goal toward which the whole nature of man strives; it is the sea to which all rivers wend their way, the prize which the hero wrests from the fight with the dragon. [Ibid., par. 415.]
Archetypes manifest both on a personal level, through complexes, and collectively, as characteristics of whole cultures. Jung believed it was the task of each age to understand anew their content and their effects.
We can never legitimately cut loose from our archetypal foundations unless we are prepared to pay the price of a neurosis, any more than we can rid ourselves of our body and its organs without committing suicide. If we cannot deny the archetypes or otherwise neutralize them, we are confronted, at every new stage in the differentiation of consciousness to which civilization attains, with the task of finding a new interpretation appropriate to this stage, in order to connect the life of the past that still exists in us with the life of the present, which threatens to slip away from it. [“The Psychology of the Child Archetype,” CW 9i, par. 267.]
The form or representation of an archetype in consciousness. (See also collective unconscious.)
[The archetype is] a dynamism which makes itself felt in the numinosity and fascinating power of the archetypal image. [“On the Nature of the Psyche,” CW 8, par. 414.]
Archetypal images, as universal patterns or motifs which come from the collective unconscious, are the basic content of religions, mythologies, legends and fairy tales.
An archetypal content expresses itself, first and foremost, in metaphors. If such a content should speak of the sun and identify with it the lion, the king, the hoard of gold guarded by the dragon, or the power that makes for the life and health of man, it is neither the one thing nor the other, but the unknown third thing that finds more or less adequate expression in all these similes, yet – to the perpetual vexation of the intellect – remains unknown and not to be fitted into a formula. [“The Psychology of the Child Archetype,” CW 9i, par. 267]
On a personal level, archetypal motifs are patterns of thought or behavior that are common to humanity at all times and in all places.
For years I have been observing and investigating the products of the unconscious in the widest sense of the word, namely dreams, fantasies, visions, and delusions of the insane. I have not been able to avoid recognizing certain regularities, that is, types. There are types of situations and types of figures that repeat themselves frequently and have a corresponding meaning. I therefore employ the term “motif” to designate these repetitions. Thus there are not only typical dreams but typical motifs in dreams. … [These] can be arranged under a series of archetypes, the chief of them being . . . the shadow, the wise old man, the child (including the child hero), the mother (“Primordial Mother” and “Earth Mother”) as a supraordinate personality (“daemonic” because supraordinate), and her counterpart the maiden, and lastly the anima in man and the animus in woman. [“The Psychological Aspects of the Kore,” ibid., par. 309.]

WARWICKSHIRE was chosen to launch a national campaign to bring people back into the countryside today after the disasters that hit the tourism industry last year.
Although the county suffered only a handful of foot and mouth cases compared to neighbouring shires, its tourism industry suffered a body blow.
Americans make up the largest number of foreign visitors to Stratford and Warwick, but the foot and mouth out-break, followed by the September 11 terrorist atrocities, saw them stay at home.
Visitor numbers collapsed, taking millions of pounds out of the local economy.
The Royal Show at Stoneleigh was cancelled, which immediately cut out about 180,000 visitors.
That hit the hotels, pubs and restaurants around, Kenilworth, Leamington and Coventry. There was some good news as the smaller Town and Country Festival, which caters for a more local market, went ahead in August as restrictions were being eased.
Any venues that included farmland - including Kenilworth Castle, Charlecote Park, near Warwick, Coombe Country Park, near Coventry, and Hoare Park, near Nuneaton - were among those that had to close when the outbreak started to bite.
Town centres felt a slight benefit, as people who could not get into the country, spent more time shopping in urban areas.
Tourist venues in Warwick and Stratford town centres may have experienced more British visitors, but these did not make up for the number of foreigners who stayed away.
Footpaths across the county were closed down, while sheep and cattle disappeared from view, leaving motorists travelling the roads of
Warwickshire with a view of empty green fields.
But the government has sent in top names today to try and encourage people back into the countryside and put the misery of 2001 behind them.
This time last year, we were just about to be warned to keep away from farmland and country tracks on pain of being put before a court.
Now we are being encouraged to get out there and rediscover Warwickshire's green and pleasant land.
Hatton Country World, west of Warwick, closed its farmyard area off for several weeks last spring. It brought in a variety of more domesticated animals to try and keep the visitors coming in.
Today, government ministers are appearing at the venue and asking people to come back out of the towns.
Rural affairs minister Alun Michael and heritage minister Tessa Blackstone, are launching Your Countryside, You're Welcome.
Mr Michael said: "It is essential that we all make every effort to welcome people to the countryside for 2002.
"We have one of the world's most beautiful and diverse rural landscapes, offering a wealth of interesting things to see and do.
"This unique partnership between organisations and government, plus those commercial companies that are joining this movement, is now working hard to get that message across.
"It is a rare opportunity to re-connect town and country, something that was needed before foot and mouth, but a high priority which everyone now understands."
The National Federation of Women's Institutes, the Ramblers Association, the National Trust, English Heritage and the Outdoor Industries Association are among the 50 groups joining in.
The campaign is supported by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the English Tourism Council and The Countryside Agency.
And the campaign will continue with a special Your Countryside, You're Welcome week running from March 11 to
17. It is aimed to give a boost in the run-up to Easter at the end of March.
The campaign is aimed at turning round the fortunes of tourist venues and the countryside after last year's problems.
It is hoped celebrities will also be joining the campaign to bring people back to the countryside.
Some National Trust venues will be offering a two-for-one ticket offer.
And the public have been roped in to get people back out in the country. WI members in rural England will take part in a letter writing and e-mail campaign, inviting friends and family to visit.
The National Association of Farms for Schools is launching a pack for primary schools, encouraging teachers to discuss the countryside in class, while farms across will be inviting schoolchildren to visit.
Kim Howells, minister for tourism, says: "We want to win back tourists, be they from home or abroad.
"This campaign extends an open invitation to everyone to rediscover our countryside.
"Whether you're into walking, wildlife or white-water rafting, our countryside has it all. Be it for a couple of hours, a weekend or a holiday, our message is simple, it's your countryside, you're welcome."
Patrick Mower, TV Emmerdale 's Rodney Blackstock, is one of the celebrities supporting the campaign.
He said: "Your Countryside, You're Welcome is a terrific initiative and now that the footpaths are open again, I whole-heartedly encourage people to get into the countryside this year.
"I live in the heart of the rolling wolds of Lincolnshire and am fortunate enough to be only a short journey from the magnificent Yorkshire Dales where we film.
"The countryside is open for business, come and join us!" | <urn:uuid:78ad01e7-8a9d-4632-85ea-47961cadff23> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,156 |
Cash for Clunker Stats Reveal Surprising Trends the Industry did not Expect
NEW YORK, NY - Early Stats show surprising trends about the Cash for Clunker program that gives consumers up to $4500 towards the purchase of a new, more fuel efficient vehicle
Although the rules were just announced for the new government program, there is already alot of information about the bills impact and the cash for clunkers market. www.CashForClunkersInformation.org has interviewed some of the largest dealers in the country who have been selling vehicles to clunker consumers for almost a month and they have released some of the trends in their clunker report.
“The majority of eligible clunkers being traded in so far are domestic vehicles with over 100,000 miles,” said Sharon O’Connell, the director of www.CashForClunkersInformation.org. “The majority of new vehicles that are qualifying for the larger $4500 rebate are lower priced cars because smaller vehicles normally have better mpg ratings on average than larger, more expensive cars or trucks,” added O’Connell. “The rare exceptions are hybrids that cost more but qualify for the $4500 because of their fuel efficiency. The best deals for the Cash for Clunkers program are the less expensive vehicles that cost between $10,000-$18,000.”
“So far all of our sales have been conquest sales,” said Rick Case, the owner of one of the largest privately owned dealer groups in the country. Rick Case Automotive announced that they would help consumers when the law said customers would be eligible, which was 23 days before the government released the final rules. As a result, Rick Case has been helping clunker customers since July 1st and agreed to share all the statistics from the transactions that have occurred in his stores located throughout Florida, Ohio and Georgia; Here are some of the stats:
• “All our sales have been conquest sales”
• More than 70% of the clunkers were domestics (all Ford or Chevy trade ins)
• 71% of the clunkers were SUV’s
• 93% had over 100k miles
• 71% qualified for the $4500 (because SUV’s only need a 5mpg improvement to get the full $4500 rebate and 71% of clunkers were SUV’s)
• The average clunker trade in gets 17mpg
• The average new vehicle gets 25mpg
• The average improvement is 8mpg
Vince Sheehy from Sheehy Automotive, one of the top automotive groups in the country, agree to share the statistics from their clunker transactions that occurred in their 17 locations in Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland and Baltimore. Here are some of the stats:
• 76% domestic trades, 24% import
• 21% cars
• 79% SUV, pickups and minivans
• Average mileage 138,000
“Our aggregate statistics show an average of 69% mpg percent improvement from clunkers traded to the new vehicles purchased under the program. Based on a 69% mpg improvement, we estimate personal fuel consumption will decrease by approximately 300 gallons per year, reducing fuel costs by nearly $750 annually at average gas prices. If these early statistics continue for the 250,000 vehicle sales estimated to occur under the CARS program it will save consumers a lot of gas money while also helping the economy and the environment at the same time,” said O’Connell.
As a result, the US annual fuel consumption could decrease by 76 million gallons, reducing spending by a total of nearly $190 million on gasoline, and cutting CO2 emissions by more than 660,000 metric tons. Almost 80% of the initial clunker trade-ins were trucks, SUV’s or van’s and 84 percent of the new vehicles purchased are passenger cars. The average age of a trade-in model is almost 13 years old, and the average odometer reading is more than 138,000 miles. The most popular clunker trades are Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge and the least common are Honda and Toyota.
Another interesting trend are the sales to consumers who do not qualify for the government program. Chip King, from www.JerrysToyota.com, said that “over half the consumers who initially inquired about the program did not qualify but many of them bought a car anyway due to the unprecedented manufacturer incentive programs and the contributions from Jerry’s Clunker fund, “our dealerships Cash for Clunker program,” explained King.
www.CashForClunkersInformation.org is a private consumer information portal, not a government website, so it is designed to give consumers a summary of the program with tools to help them determine how much funding they qualify for. The organization is proud to have been an important advocate of the congressional bill and now continues to serve as a voice for the public to encourage retailers and manufacturers to offer additional incentives to consumers to get into more fuel efficient vehicles that will help the environment, the economy and their industry. www.cashforclunkersinformation.org also helps retailers educate consumers in their local area about the Cash for Clunkers program. www.CashForClunkersInformation.org was created by Level 5 Advertising, a marketing company who provides communication services to some of the largest automotive retailers in the world.
About the Name – Cash For Clunkers
While making its way through congress there were many bills with many names so the public and the press commonly referred to all versions of the bill as the “Cash for Clunkers” program. For this reason many consumer information sites, including ours, have utilized this universally understood term to refer to the many automotive scrappage programs that exist in the world, some funded by the government (C.A.R.S) and others financed by automotive retailers.

To enable students to understand the meaning of the second conditional tense and give students opportunity to practice the TL within the context of a poem about how things could be different.
To provide students practice of reading for general understanding
Procedure (34-47 minutes)
Present picture of man on PPT. In PW, think/talk about this man. What's he thinking about? How does he feel? FB, Ss write idea on the WB in brainstorming format. Present pictures of man + story pictures on PPT. In PW, think/talk about how these pictures relate to this man. FB, Ss change or add to their predictions on WB.
Tell students you're going to read the poem about the man now. Hand poem out. Read poem aloud. PW - students talk about the poem vs. their predictions
What do you think of the man's poem? Is he happy? Is this man alive? Yes, he's writing this poem. What does he want to do? Live life over. Can he do his life over? No What kind of sentences does he use to express this? How did you know this is how he felt? If / would Have students find an example in the reading and write on WB Point out if / would and then ask students to find the verb and identify the tense If + past simple ..... would + bare infinitive
Display WKST on PPT, students work in PW to fill in the blank and create sentences using second conditional tense. FB, students write answers on WB
If I want to use this tense to make a question, what would it look like? Use WB to write slowly and elicit from Ss the question form. If you were rich, would you buy a private island? If you were rich, what would you do? Elicit answers from Ss - maybe have them write a couple on the WB
Students put into new PW are given prompts to practice TL T monitors and gives FB if needed. If time, same activity in new PW
Ask students to remember the poem in this activity. Imagine they are 100 years old writing a poem as this man did. Students are encouraged to speak in PW or write if they wish.

The Trickiness Of Tracking Severe Weather
LAURA SULLIVAN, HOST:
Weather is the story in much of the country again today. Thousands are without power following a band of storms that whipped through parts of the mid-Atlantic region, downing trees and electric power lines - a lot of added misery on one of the hottest days on record. Meanwhile, Colorado is battling the state's worst day of wildfires ever with two people dead.
Already, 35,000 people have been evacuated, and 19,000 acres have burned, and close to 350 homes have been destroyed. President Obama made a disaster declaration and opened the way for federal relief money. On Friday, he toured the devastation in Colorado Springs.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: One of the things that I've tried to emphasize is that whether it's fires in Colorado or flooding in the northern parts of Florida, when natural disasters like this hit, America comes together. And we all recognize that there but for the grace of God, go I. We've got to make sure that we have each other's backs.
SULLIVAN: And in the Midwest, a heat wave with temperatures more than 100 degrees could also break records. Scientists say it's unusual, but the highs are expected to keep getting higher. TVs, radios and smartphone apps all tell us about severe weather warnings. And scientists say the accuracy of that information is better than it's ever been.
HEIDI CULLEN: A five-day hurricane track forecast we get today is more accurate than the three-day forecast from just 10 years ago.
SULLIVAN: Heidi Cullen is a research scientist, and she says on average, accuracy for forecasts is now 87 percent nationwide, thanks to the satellite system developed and maintained by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Those satellites are even helping in the fight against the wildfires in Colorado.
CULLEN: This data is used by firefighters to help decide where they should place chemical fire retardants. It allows us to help estimate percent containment. So, you know, you can think of sort of the big national forecast but also very, very specific jobs.
SULLIVAN: Now, these are really tight budget times for the federal government, and NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are certainly funded through the federal government. How are they faring?
CULLEN: The annual budget for NASA's earth science division has fallen to below $1.5 billion from about two billion a decade ago. So, you know, we're at a place where we should be moving forward and not moving back. And so right now, you know, there's been launch issues, cost overruns, but also budget cuts. And it think, you know, what we really need to do is just help folks understand what an incredibly important role these satellites play in our daily lives.
SULLIVAN: Heidi Cullen is a research scientist for a science and journalism organization called Climate Central.

Agencies Deny Equal Protection Granted Under Law to Environmental Justice Communities
Micah's Mission (Ministry to Improve Childhood & Adolescent Health) met with Governor Sonny Perdue and requested a commissioned study on high volume chemicals in Georgia to determine their impact on the state's children. Micah's Mission proposed to the Governor that funding for this study be obtained through tobacco settlement money which would be at his discretion to award. [Rural Roads Magazine, Volume 2, No. 2, Summer 2004, pg 12] Governor Perdue chose however to award the tobacco settlement money to a top air polluter in Athens, Georgia to build a public warehouse road for a proposed expansion.[http://gov.georgia.gov/00/press/detail/0,2668,78006749_79688147_93278236,00.html]
The proposed expansion was met with fierce opposition from the community concerned about the continuing deterioration of Athens' airshed, and the health impacts associated with increases in air toxic emissions on children. [http://onlineathens.com/stories/040605/new_20050406055.shtml]
Combined with the economic downturn of 2008, the expansion permit was withdrawn by the industry.[http://www.cleanairathens.org/certainteed.php] It was not reported whether or not the tobacco settlement money awarded to this company by Governor Perdue was indeed utilized to build their warehouse road after the proposed expansion failed.
In his denial to commission a study on the high volume chemicals impacting Georgia children, Governor Perdue overlooked a group of chemicals known as perfluorochemicals (PFCs) which have been prevalent in the manufacturing of carpets and textiles, food wrappers, teflon cookware, and other consumer goods. [http://toxsci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/99/2/366?ck=nck]
Known in the 1970's to be toxic, ubiquitous, bioaccumulative, and resistant to biodegradation, the title Georgia holds as Carpet Capital of the World has come with a high price. In essence, PFCs behave like no other persistent man-made chemicals before them, and continued to be used for decades knowing damage was occurring to human health and the environment. [http://www.ewg.org/node/21716]
Micah's Mission, after a confidential consultation with a top environmental health official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, petitioned the state of Georgia to investigate the exposures of local poisoned communities in Athens. These two neighborhoods are well defined as environmental justice communities according to the EPA definition. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_justice] The following information has been thoroughly documented, and any records will be made available upon request:
Pittard Road is bordered by an industrial facility that for two decades knowingly manufactured perfluorochemicals in spite of its knowledge of detrimental health and ecosystem impacts emanating from its operations worldwide. The facility was shielded from the public health investigation of Pittard Road from 2003-2006 although it was in violation of local, state, and federal laws at the time of the public health investigation. Residents were not disclosed any information about the violations or chemical releases of this facility to air, soil, surface, or groundwater. The list of agencies which withheld information about historical perfluorochemical use of the owners of this facility include:
U.S. EPA Headquarters - Washington, DC
U.S. Department of Justice
EPA Region IV - Atlanta, Georgia
EPA, National Exposure Research Laboratory, Ecosystems Research Division
U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry
Georgia Environmental Protection Division
Georgia Chemical Hazards Program
Northeast Georgia Health District
Athens-Clarke County Health Department
Air testing from a Canadian pilot project in 2004-2005, while the public health investigation of Pittard Road was underway, revealed levels in Athens, Georgia of volatile perfluorochemical precursors. Scientific interpretation of these results attributed perfluorochemical levels in Athens to a local manufacturing facility. Pittard Road is due a comprehensive and truthful evaluation with no more protection of this industry. While we hope it is not true, was Pittard Road a sacrificial lamb for EPA to negotiate cooperation with this industry on the harm of perfluorochemicals? It is now clear that all residents of Athens, including University of Georgia students, should rightfully be informed of just how contaminated Athens Clarke County is with perfluorochemicals, and what is being done to mitigate this exposure.
Additionally, our Dunlap Road community, is currently saddled with a landfill expansion which was promised in an agreement with government in 1992 never to occur. This treaty has been willfully and defiantly broken by current elected leaders. A permit application to continue to unethically dump toxic consumer products laden with perfluorochemicals (which will never biodegrade) awaits approval by Georgia Environmental Protection Division. What quantity of perfluorochemicals have already made its way into the landfill from three decades of operations? To what degree has it contaminated the groundwater? Has our infamous Poop on the Loop wastewater treatment facility near the University of Georgia been tested for perfluorochemicals which are hauled constantly to the landfill in sewage sludge? Has this historically problematic wastewater treatment facility which receives numerous complaints of odors been tested for perfluorochemicals that can attach themselves to airborne biological contaminants? Are perfluorochemicals lurking in local compost material? Now that air testing has identified Athens, GA as a perfluorochemical hotspot, what are the exposures to students, landfill residents, Pittard Road, and the population at large? How have these persistent chemicals entered into our food chain and impacted organic farmers in Athens?
Will our environmental justice communities be given equal protection under the law? Or will EPA continue to deny that a perfluorochemical problem even exists in Athens?
We hope to hear promptly from our elected leaders given the urgency of this issue. | <urn:uuid:6ab7332a-3999-4a67-8390-d605e0b6b4f9> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 6,178 |
Anyone who has participated in migrations or transitions to Exchange has most likely encountered or has had to work around potential issues caused by the nickname cache. A “cache,” also known by its file extension, NK2 in older Outlook clients, is a convenience feature in Outlook and Outlook WebApp (OWA) which lets users pick recipients from a list of frequently-used recipients. This list is displayed when the end user types in the first few letters.
The potential issue revolves around end users using those lists to send messages, as the list contains cached recipient information. Because this information is static, it may become invalid at some point. Thus, when users pick recipients when sending messages, they may be sending messages to non-existent recipients or invalid e-mail addresses, which create issues like non-delivery of e-mail.
In an earlier version of Outlook, this information was stored in local .NK2 files. In Outlook 2010 and up, this information is stored in your mailbox (AutoComplete Stream). Unfortunately, OWA utilizes its own cache mechanism while Outlook stores recipient information in other locations as well, like the ‘Suggested Contacts’ folder for example.
For the storage of static recipient information, some migration scenarios organizations might wish to zap all or parts of that cached information at some point in the process. For that purpose I have written a script. Depending on your scenario, this may prevent NDR issues or users being instructed to clean those entries themselves at the cost of having them re-enter frequently used e-mail addresses once.
Before I get into details on script usage, I will first elaborate a bit on the various caching mechanisms.
The autocomplete stream contains information from previously used recipients when using Outlook. The list contains address information such as SMTP or LegacyDN addresses and is limited to 1,000 most-recently used entries. The information is stored in a so-called folder-associated information (FAI) table in your Inbox, which is a hidden folder. FAI entries can be inspected using utilities like MFCMAPI or EWS Editor, like in the example below where I opened the associated contents of an inbox using MFCMAPI.
The autocomplete stream is stored in the item of message class IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete. The entries themselves are stored in the property PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM (pidTagRoamingBinary, tag 0x7C09000A) which, as the name implies, is in binary format. However, you can inspect the information in a more comprehensible format using MFCMAPI. In MFCMAPI, open up the PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM property of the IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete item using the Smart View structure definition Nickname Cache.
Be advised that Outlook will only retrieve the autocomplete stream when addressing functionality, like when entering a recipient in the To section when composing an e-mail. Any updates to the autocomplete stream will not be written back to the FAI item immediately, but will be saved when Outlook is closed. Because of this, Outlook has to be closed when making changes to the autocomplete stream otherwise Outlook may overwrite it with its version of the autocomplete stream.
Note that Outlook may cache autocomplete streams locally in %userprofile% under \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache. The files are named Stream_Autocomplete*.dat, with only one .dat file per configured account. These files are used when running Outlook in Cached Mode and serve as a storage location for updating the FAI item.
End users can reset the nickname cache from Outlook via File > Options > Mail > Send Messages using the button Empty Auto-Complete List, or through starting Outlook using the switch /CleanAutoCompleteCache.
Outlook WebApp AutoComplete
Like Outlook, Outlook WebApp (OWA) caches recently used recipient information. Unfortunately, it does not share this information with Outlook. OWA stores its autocomplete stream information in the FAI table of your mailbox root folder, in a User Configuration object of message class IPM.Configuration.OWA.AutocompleteCache. In the example below, I opened the associated contents of the root container of a mailbox using MFCMAPI.
The autocomplete stream is stored in the item of message class IPM.Configuration.OWA.AutocompleteCache, but when accessing User Configuration information through Exchange Web Services, you need to remove the IPM.Configuration prefix. The entries themselves are stored in the property PR_ROAMING_XMLSTREAM (pidTagRoamingXmlStream, tag 0x7c080102) which, as the name implies, is stored in XML format (in the example the stream does not contain any entries).
In OWA Light (not Premium), end users can reset the OWA nickname cache via Options > Messaging > Clear Most Recent Recipients List.
The Suggested Contacts folder is created by Outlook. It is an Address Book to which contact objects will be added for each recipient used to send messages to, but that are not present in your Contacts folder. Like ordinary address books, Suggested Contacts can be used as an additional address book for picking or searching recipients.
Note that unlike autocomplete, Suggested Contacts entries cannot be searched when typing the first few characters of a recipient.
The Recipient Cache folder was introduced with Exchange 2013. It is a non-visible, well-known folder that sits below the Contacts folder.
Unfortunately, the specific purpose of the Recipient Cache folder is not documented. It does however, contain cached recipient information.
The script is really straightforward. It requires Exchange 2010 or later and Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.2 (or later) which you can download here. Alternatively, you can copy the Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.DLL with the script as it will also look for it in the current folder.
The script Clean-AutoComplete.ps1 has the following syntax:
Clear-AutoComplete.ps1 [-Mailbox] <String> [-Server <String>] [-Impersonation] [-Credentials <PSCredential>] [-Type <Array>]
- Mailbox is the name or e-mail address of the mailbox.
- Server is the name of the Client Access Server to access for Exchange Web Services. When omitted, the script will use AutoDiscover.
- Switch Impersonation specifies if impersonation will be used for mailbox access, otherwise the current user context will be used.
- Credentials specifies the user credentials to use.
- Type specifies what cached recipient information to clear. Options are Outlook (Outlook AutoComplete stream), OWA (OWA Autocomplete stream), SuggestedContacts, RecipientCache or All. Default is Outlook,OWA.
So for example, suppose you want to clear the Autocomplete stream used by Outlook on a mailbox, you can use:
Clear-AutoComplete.ps1 -Mailbox Olrik -Type Outlook -Verbose
To remove the Autocomplete stream used by OWA on your Office 365 account, you can use:
Clear-AutoComplete.ps1 -Mailbox firstname.lastname@example.org –Credentials (Get-Credential) –Type OWA
You can download the script from my Technet Gallery here. | <urn:uuid:e0a33ce7-cdd4-43b1-ae59-5139587b1d85> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 7,009 |
Set maximum number of iterations for thermal equilibrium and charge neutrality calculation at each spatial step. If this quantity is set to zero then a constant temperature run will result, and charge neutrality will not be calculated. If this quantity is negative, then charge neutrality will be calculated, but thermal equilibrium will not. Default value is 0. Normal thermal equilbrium models can be calculated with niter=99, although the code seldom requires more than a few iterations (10 or 20 at most) to achieve thermal equilibrium under normal conditions. | <urn:uuid:eca507ef-714f-4f23-a58d-db0385662ae3> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 564 |
What exactly is Circle Keeping? How is it useful? Youth Circles provide safe spaces for teens and tweens to develop skills that promote well-being. These skills include communication, team building, sensory processing, and active listening.
Teens will develop a set of skills including
• sharing & listening
• community building
• conflict resolution
This opportunity will be offered within libraries to provide teens and tweens with a sense of
• well being & support
Join a circle to further experience and be a part of this impact on change within our community. See the list of participating libraries and current program dates below.
The Circle Keeping initiative is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and the Milwaukee Public Library Foundation. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services ARPML-250669-OMLS-22.

When the 2018 schedule was announced for the Arizona Cardinals, the Week 13 road game against the Green Bay Packers was a game to worry about, at least in terms of weather. Now that the game is this weekend, those worries appear to be a reality.
The weather conditions in Green Bay this weekend will be cold and perhaps snowy.
According to the Weather Channel, when the game begins at noon CT, it is expected to be 35 degrees and feel like 26. There is a 55 percent chance of snow showers.
Overnight before the game, the temperature will be in the 30s with rain, wind and snow expected. There’s a likelihood of precipitation as high as 90 percent early Sunday morning.
The Cardinals will face a Packers team that has gotten all four of its wins at Lambeau Field, and they will have to also overcome the elements, something they are not used to doing. | <urn:uuid:21a58586-9cf7-4410-a26e-db988628ab29> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 850 |
In the past, researchers have determined that children who have a pet dog or cat, or those who live in rural areas around livestock, have less of a chance to develop asthma and allergies to pets.
A recent study conducted by Tove Fall, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Medical Sciences — Molecular Epidemiology at Uppsala University, who led the study with Professor Catarina Almqvist Malmros at Karolinska Institutet showed some interesting results.
They determined that the sex of the dog was a factor in reducing an allergic reaction in children. It seems that children who lived with female dogs and more than one dog in the home had less allergies.
They also found that children who lived with the breeds and mixes of dogs that are supposed to be ‘hypoallergenic’ actually had a higher percent of allergies. That the hypoallergenic dogs were not better for children.
A child will benefit the most from having a pet in the home if they are raised the first year of their life with the pet.
The fact that the hypoallergenic breeds are not really hypoallergenic is especially important information for those parents who may be considering a dog for their child who has allergies.
Many people are duped into paying high prices for supposed hypoallergenic designer mixes and breeds that are labeled as hypoallergenic. No matter what the mixed breed is supposedly mixed with, it is still a mixed breed with no proof that it is what the breeder claims to be. I have personally seen many cases where the supposed mix of Goldendoodle or Labradoodle grow up to have the characteristics of a completely different breed. In some cases DNA tests showed the dog was not what it was claimed to be.
Although more research needs to be done, it appears that getting a female dog of the breed that you want is the best course of action. If you plan to start a family, get the dog first. Have the dog trained by the time you start the family. It will make the situation much easier and benefit the children that join your family.
Many people do not realize that cats suffer from arthritis. We are used to our cats being very athletic and supple. However, feline arthritis affects 80 to 90% of all cats. About 33% of younger cats develop arthritis, so it is not limited to older cats.
Because cats can hide pain very well, it is prudent that a cat owner understand and look for the various signs that indicate your cat is developing or has arthritis.
Here are the warning signs:
- You cat cannot jump up or down or is reluctant to do it.
- General stiffness
- Difficulty getting up when they are laying down.
- Personality change such as not wanting to be held or petted like they used to.
- If your cat does not groom himself as much. This could be a sign that it is painful to reach parts of his body.
- If your cat tends to hide whereas he did not before. Pain can cause a cat to want to hide.
- Your cat may sleep more than normal.
- Loss of appetite.
- A cat may stop using the litter box because it is painful to do so.
- You may notice that your cats’ muscles are atrophied.
If you see any of the signs listed above, you must take your cat to your veterinarian for a checkup. Some of these signs could also be due to another type of illness.
Arthritis is not a clear-cut issue. There are different types of arthritis and they can have different causes, from infection to injury. Therefore it is critical that your veterinarian determines if your cat has arthritis, the type of arthritis your cat has and how to treat it.
Yes, cats can be trained. This article will explain why you should train your cat. Since it would take a whole book to explain the detailed steps about how to clicker train your cat, I suggest that you google clicker training for cats and get a book.
Photo caption: “You want me to do what?”
Why would a cat owner want to train their cat? There are a lot of reasons. First, it can give you control over your cat. Imagine if you have taught your cat to get into his carrier, how much easier it would be to do that. Cats like the stimulation that learning gives them. Teaching your cat tricks also deepens the bond between you and your cat. It encourages your cat to exercise. It gives the cat mental stimulation. Clicker training your cat also gives you a tool to use if your cat develops a behavior problem so that you can correct the problem.
The first step to clicker training a cat is to find the special treat that your cat likes. Keep in mind that a treat is not a meal, so it will be small. You will have to experiment with people food as well as various cat treats to find the one your cat loves. The treat has to be something that you can handle easily and either comes in a small size or can be cut into tiny pieces. You do not want a treat that the cat must stop and chew for a few minutes. It should be one that the cat can easily eat quickly.
Often people do not realize that there are different clickers that range from loud to soft clicks. I suggest that you use a soft click for a cat. You can also use a click type pen, but it is not as easy to use as a clicker.
You also need a target stick and instead of buying an expensive one, you can use a ¼” dowel that is found in hardware stores, stores that carry lumber or craft stores.
Once you have all the equipment that you need, you can start working with your cat. Start slowly, getting the cat used to the clicker. Once the cat understands that the clicker is a signal for a treat, you can start teaching the cat simple commands. You can have a few sessions in a day but be sure to keep the training sessions very short. Cats get bored quickly. It is important that you work with your cat in a quiet environment. Your cat must be relaxed and feel safe. If you have more than one cat or a dog, be sure to train your cat alone in a room where the other animals cannot get in. If you have more than one cat, only work with one at a time. It can help if you have a different clicker for each cat, it will help them understand that you are clicking only them.
The last bit of advice that I have for you is be patient and don’t give up. Initially older cats may slow to respond, but they too should be taught tricks. Have fun, you cat will.
Glyphosate, the active herbicidal ingredient found in most if not all weed killers like Roundup, has been found in dog food. But don’t panic, advises the study, the level is only 0.7 percent of the U.S. glyphosate limit set for humans.
The study was conducted by Brian Richards, senior research associate in biological and environmental engineering, and supported by the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future’s Academic Venture Fund. The goal of this study was to determine how much glyphosate was found in crops, surface water in fields, soil and animal feed.
The study determined that the herbicide found its way into pet food through the plant matter included in the food. However, they could not pinpoint which plants had the glyphosate.
Although there is no risk to pets, the long-term consumption of glyphosate has not been studied. Also, my thought is this: While the levels are very low for human consumption, dogs and cats are much smaller than people. Therefore the amount by comparison may be a risk for pets. An average human adult who weighs 150 – 200 lbs. and can tolerate .07% but what about the average medium sized dog who weighs 40 pounds. What about children and pets who weigh less than 40 lbs.?
It seems from the study that there are little or no pet foods that do not have glyphosate in them. Does this mean that other pet food has glyphosate in it? Some pets only eat vegetable or plant products. This is another thing to consider for both humans and animals. More studies are needed.
Because the malaria parasites cause people who are infected to have a distinctive odor, dogs have been trained to detect malaria from socks worn by the people infected. This study was conducted by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), the Medical Research Council Unit the Gambia at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and experts from a charity, Medical Detection Dogs.
While the use of dogs to detect malaria is not widespread, experts hope to be able to train more dogs and use them at ports of entry to detect people who are infected with malaria. It will also give health care professionals a fast and easy way to determine who has malaria in remote villages.
However, more tests need to be conducted to see if the dogs can detect different stages of malaria and also to see if the scent varies with malaria species in different parts of the world. I have no doubt that dogs will become the most useful tool to detect the early stages of malaria.
How your feed your cat is an often-overlooked aspect of stress and health related issues. This was addressed by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). They released a Consensus Statement titled, “Feline Feeding Programs: Addressing Behavioral Needs to Improve Feline Health and Wellbeing” which was published in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery. A brochure is available for practitioners to give to clients.
According to the brochure, it is important to allow cats to experience normal feeding behaviors, such as hunting and foraging, a well as eating frequent, small meals by themselves. By meeting a cat’s feeding needs, you will help alleviate or prevent stress-related issues. Stress can cause cystitis and over-eating problems. If indoor cats are not given enough activity, eating can become their main activity leading to obesity.
Multi-cat households must insure that some of the resident cats who are shy are getting enough food which can lead to health problems as well.
The report goes on to stress that each household should evaluate the needs of the cats in the home. Some solutions could be to include offering small, frequent meals, puzzle feeders or putting food in different locations and even including automatic feeders.
It a cat has mental or physical issues, it is important to consider the cat’s feeding program to see if that is a contributing factor.
Almost all pet owners have noticed that their pet seems to know what time it is. The dog or cat that waits for a family member to arrive home from school or work. Or they let you know exactly the time they normally get fed. They also let you know when it is time for any other daily routine. In the past it was assumed that they saw signals in the behavior of their human house mates. Or the theory was that they recognized the sound of your vehicle and knew that you were near. All of this can be part of the explanation for some events. But then there were those events that did not fit with the theories. Events that had no logical explanation, except that somehow, animals knew what time it was. Over the years, I have seen all of my pets, dogs, cats and birds indicate that they knew when things were supposed to happen. Not only the time of the day, but the day of the week.
Researchers have discovered strong evidence that animals can tell time. A study led by Daniel Dombeck, an associate professor of neurobiology in Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences has been published in the journal Nature Neuroscience explains the discovery.
According to Dombeck “As the animals run along the track and get to the invisible door, we see the cells firing that control spatial encoding, then, when the animal stops at the door, we see those cells turned off and a new set of cells turn on. This was a big surprise and a new discovery.”
What I can share with you from personal experience and supports this discovery is this: I am profoundly deaf, and cannot hear an alarm clock, (I can barely hear without hearing aids). If I need to get up at a certain time in the morning, I only have to decide what time I want to get up and I will wake up at the exact minute, no matter how tired I may be. As far as I am concerned, Dombeck’s discovery is the only explanation about how I can do this.
According to Dombeck, “So this could lead to new early-detection tests for Alzheimer’s, we could start asking people to judge how much time has elapsed or ask them to navigate a virtual reality environment — essentially having a human do a ‘door stop’ task.” Again, animal research has the potential of helping people. Because many people suffer from Alzheimer’s, it could help a vast number of people.
Scientists are one step closer to unraveling how and if dogs understand specific words in human speech. Research has provided evidence that dogs can understand basic words that they have been taught and know the difference between words they know and words they do not know.
What scientists are trying to determine is if you say “squirrel” does the dog associate excitement with the word or does the dog actually picture a real squirrel. To do this they did MRI’s on 12 dogs who were taught the name of a specific object. Their studies were not conclusive but did show differences in the dog’s brains when the object they knew was spoken vs the one they were not taught. I think the famous Border Collie, Chaser, is strong evidence that dogs do associate a word with a specific object. But it is fun to keep researching about dog’s minds.
Canine Parvovirus kills over 20,000 puppies each year in Australia. This is largely due to the fact that many people cannot afford preventative shots or expensive treatment. Often the puppies are killed or abandoned. About 40% are euthanized.
The study conducted by lead researcher Dr. Mark Kelman, a veterinarian and PhD candidate at the Sydney School of Veterinary Science and published in Transboundary and Emerging Disease showed how wide-spread the problem is.
Fortunately Dr. Kelman has started a group called Paws for a Purpose which has started some pilot vaccination programs in high-risk rural areas to try and prevent cases from occurring.
Because of how diseases spread from country to country, it is very important to keep your dogs vaccinated no matter where you live. I personally have seen (years ago) litters of puppies die from CPV in rural Virginia due to a lack of shots or the use of lesser quality shots because people did not want to or could not spend the money for proper veterinary care.
Australia’s on-going problem with CPV stresses the need for quality veterinary care for all of our pets.

Jason Varitek’s Red Sox legacy was pretty much encapsulated in two iconic photographs. Making Alex Rodriguez eat the glove in perhaps the pivotal moment of the 2004 season. Then, rejoicing and hoisting Alan Embree a few months later, at last victorious in a must-win moment on the Yankee Stadium turf after closing out a win in the ALCS. One photo is pure toughness. The other, pure elation.
The first World Series in 86 seasons was secured a little more than a week later, and should you prefer a photo of Varitek bounding into Keith Foulke’s arms after the final out of the World Series to the one of Embree, well, either is a fine choice for man-cave decor. The meaning remains the same: Faith was rewarded. History was overcome. And Varitek’s role was so integral to that season of a lifetime that these images will
immediately flash to mind when he’s 57 years old and receiving a rousing ovation while throwing out the first pitch at Fenway during the 25th anniversary celebration of the ‘04 champs. Bet the coffee table book is already in the works.
But the photos don’t tell the entire story. Words are required to address the nuances of Varitek’s 15 seasons with the Red Sox, a run that began with one of the great heists in baseball history -- Varitek and righthander Derek Lowe arriving from Seattle in July 1997 for ignitable closer Heathcliff Slocumb -- and apparently ended this week when the Red Sox signed Kelly Shoppach.
For a player who is assured of permanent reverence in New England, his departure is a complicated one. It’s a day that’s overdue -- he hasn’t had an on-base percentage higher than .313 since ‘07 and threw out just 12 of 85 base-stealers last season -- and yet it’s one that tinges you with melancholy now that it has come around. With Varitek moving on and fellow tenured favorite Tim Wakefield likely to follow, only two players remain from the ‘04 champs. (David Ortiz, the driving force of course, and Kevin Youkilis, a bit player then.) Was it really that long ago?
The calendar insists it was, and you get the sense that Varitek himself has had a hard time coming to grips with that. “At a loss for words,” his wife Catherine wrote on Twitter Tuesday after the Shoppach news broke, and you imagine her sentiments are mutual with her husband’s. But Varitek has seen hundreds of teammates come and go, the one-name superstars such as Nomar, Mo, and Pedro as well as the one-shot obscurities such Walt McKeel, Ken Grundt and Dario Veras who never got that second cup of coffee. While it would be counterproductive for athletes to give much thought to the end of their run while they’re still immersed in playing, the writing on the wall for Varitek was much closer than 310 feet. Yet he wants to stay longer still.
Maybe that mind-set is easier to comprehend when you consider what’s he’s accomplished, how long he’s been revered and how that must affect his own perception of what he means to the franchise. He’s the best and most beloved Red Sox catcher since Carlton Fisk, whose franchise record for games caught he now owns. The irony is that Varitek’s decline reminded us of how difficult it is to find a catcher who could dependably do all the things he mastered in his prime -- call a smart game, whack 20 or so homers a season, win the trust and raves of the pitchers, block the plate like it was a precious personal heirloom. From the time he supplanted Jim Leyritz behind the plate in ‘98 to but a few seasons ago, he was damn good at his job, and often exceptional, having received Most Valuable Player votes every season from 2003-’05 and collected a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger award in ‘05.
But as his skills began to erode, his value became less evident on the field and in in the box scores, and instead his loyalists began relying upon on that vague word often applied to admired players whose contributions are no longer easily quantified, if they exist at all: intangibles. That ‘C’ on his chest suggested his leadership was essential and unquestioned, justifying his salary when his production no longer could. It was the Tao of Tek, and the ballplayer himself was clearly a believer. But as the layers peeled away on the ugly details of how the Red Sox’ September collapse came to be, it became apparent that Varitek was at least somewhat complicit in the borderline insubordination by the infamous trio of pitchers. During a radio interview in the season’s aftermath, Varitek couldn’t muster anything kinder to say about manager Terry Francona other than that he respected him as “his elder,” and you got the sense his leadership essentially dwindled to recommending the chicken breasts over the wings when a beleaguered John Lackey couldn’t make up his mind.
Still, it was a special run, and it will be strange not seeing that familiar mug, the granite scowl beneath that perma-brush-cut, when Opening Day 2012 comes around. Varitek still looked the part, even when he could no longer play it. No, it doesn’t always end well for Red Sox icons, and it remains to be seen whether he’ll depart gracefully, perhaps by retiring to accept a job in the organization, or spew some choice frustrations en route to his next destination. But there’s no doubt it’s ending appropriately. Here’s hoping Varitek recognizes that you don’t get to keep the roster spot forever. That’s what the photographs are for.This was originally published in Chad Finn’s Touching All the Bases blog on Boston.com. | <urn:uuid:a8e671e1-e281-4aa9-ac33-fe7a0b5e3515> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,449 |
As symbolism goes the image was a pretty stark one.
On a chilly Sunday afternoon when there were many more serious issues than football to ponder at Anfield it seems wrong to pay so much attention to the mere matters that were going on at pitch level, but just seconds into the second half there was a moment that spoke volumes for just where Liverpool are heading under Brendan Rodgers.
The 18-year-old Jesús Joaquín Fernández Sáez de la Torre – or ‘Suso’ to his mates and now the millions worldwide who watched his Premier League debut on Sunday – picked the ball up on the left corner of the penalty area and was suddenly face-to-face with the man he’d entered the pitch with seconds earlier.
Whilst Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had turned to Paul Scholes, 37, at half-time as his side sought to gain control of midfield now that Liverpool were down to 10 men, Rodgers had opted for Suso to replace the injured Fabio Borini.
Undeterred by the sense of occasion, the fact that this was his first act as a Premier League footballer nor that his side had seen a man sent off, Suso faced up to Scholes on the corner of the box, showed him the ball and then quick as a flash burst past a man more than twice his age. At that moment the great Scholes could probably feel his old bones creaking.
That Suso’s cross was only half-cleared and eventually – via the good work of Glen Johnson – resulted in Steven Gerrard firing Liverpool into a deserved lead only crystallised the moment more. These young Liverpool players, regardless of who they are facing and how many players they are facing them with, are fearless.
At 18 Suso wasn’t even the youngest Reds player on the pitch at the time, with that honour going to the 17-year-old Raheem Sterling. Jonjo Shelvey, 20, had somewhat harshly been sent off by then, whilst the injury suffered by the 22-year-old Martin Kelly would leave Liverpool with just nine men by full-time. Borini, 21, and Joe Allen, 22, were playing in their third Anfield league game since big summer moves to Merseyside, a switch made by 22-year-old second half substitute Jordan Henderson last year. The 19-year-old Andre Wisdom scored in the Europa League last week and could now be set for more appearances given that Kelly is out for the foreseeable future with an ACL injury. Many more young players at set to feature in the Capital One Cup at West Brom on Wednesday night.
The omnipresence of Gerrard and a late cameo from Jamie Carragher reminded everyone that this isn’t a total revolution just yet, but it is hard to think of a club operating at the levels Liverpool are that is currently putting so much faith in youth. As admirable as it is, the worry has to be that it is too much too soon.
The club’s failings in the transfer market have a lot to do with it of course, but Rodgers is on record extolling the virtues of his young charges.
As he and Ferguson have said in the past, young players will rarely let you down when called upon, but at a time when the club are coming to terms with a new style of play as well as new personnel with which to play it, the potential for errors has crept in. At this level such mistakes can and will be capitalised on, as United showed in coming back to win on Sunday.
The next three Premier League fixtures – away at Norwich and then at home to Stoke and Reading – have already been identified as crucial to Liverpool following their tough start, and the youngsters in the team are likely to have to grow up quickly if success is to be achieved in all of them.
There is no doubt that a great excitement builds when the likes of Suso and Sterling get the ball, but it is up to Gerrard and Luis Suarez to show seniority and help guide them. Allen, the excellent Johnson and the still acclimatising Nuri Sahin will prove important in this regard too.
Is it too much too young for some of these Liverpool players? That remains to be seen, but one thing that they are certainly not lacking in is confidence. If Suso can do that to Scholes, then anything is possible.
The kids aren’t United, they’re Liverpool, and this could just be the start of something special if it is given time.
Around this time last year, when we thought we’d seen him kick a ball and/or opponent for the final time, we were hearing from one man an awful lot more than we were used to.
You suspect that it was a little forced, and that Paul Scholes didn’t exactly want to hold court on issues ranging from life under Sir Alex Ferguson to the trophies he’s won to the reason why he retired from playing for England so early, but when you’ve got an autobiography to sell there are certain sacrifices to be made.
It’s doubtful that Wayne Rooney sees them as sacrifices though.
The international break – a break he has sat out following the nasty thigh injury he picked up against Fulham – has seen Rooney plugging his latest book My Decade in the Premier League, the third autobiography from his money-spinning deal with publishers Harper Collins signed in 2006.
The reviews haven’t exactly been stellar, with the book’s serialisation offering up the ‘fascinating’ insights that Rooney once returned to training following a summer holiday unfit and overweight, and that he could barely stomach seeing Manchester City winning the league last season. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time it isn’t.
Whilst the book does offer us a timeline of Rooney’s career ever since he joined Manchester United in 2004, it will be unable to shed light on the most interesting period of those eight years. Namely right now.
Ferguson – who is believed to privately see Rooney’s injury as a blessing in disguise given that he once again returned from his summer break in less than top condition – made huge statements in the summer with the captures of Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie, the former a shining light in one of the most entertaining sides on the continent over the past couple of years and the latter a prolific goalscorer who is already well on his way to becoming a Premier League icon.
The question of where these purchases left Rooney was almost immediately raised, and although Manchester United’s strongest team would still surely find room for their No. 10, the belief that the forward is undroppable rather quickly evaporated. Suddenly Rooney would have to work harder than ever before.
So perhaps it isn’t the best time to be rolling out another book, specifically one which points out that one of your major flaws is an apparent aversion to staying healthy when out of your manager’s gaze.
Such decisions are likely to be taken out of Rooney’s hands of course, but at a time when actions need to speak louder than words, the forward is creating an awful lot of noise.
Scholes quickly went back to letting his football do the talking following his return to the game and to the Manchester United team back in January, and Rooney could do worse than follow in his team-mate’s footsteps when it comes to ensuring that the chapters in future tomes will be successful, Old Trafford-based ones.
At the end of the current season there will be two years left on the contract that Rooney earned after so much dramatic posturing at the end of 2010, with the entry into the final 24 months of a deal traditionally the moment when key, difficult decisions have to be made about a player’s future – unless you’re Arsenal of course.
Rooney will be 27 next month, and with United never likely to be able to get more money for him than they could command in the summer then a key decision might have to be made, a decision that could be made easier if Kagawa and van Persie turn out to be the success stories they are threatening to be.
When he’s fully fit Rooney will be back in the United and England teams, but as the man himself seems so keen to tell us, just when that will be is up for debate.
He can talk a good game, but Rooney now needs to get back to playing one. | <urn:uuid:723f158c-e0cc-4489-a9db-15b310d14f71> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 7,916 |

Today we drove 874 km (543 miles). Hadn’t planned to drive that far, but we started listening to a Book on CD that Jeff & Cindy had loaned us and we just kept driving!
In the clouds on top of the mountain!
I looked over at Raymond and out his window this little guy was running parallel to us!
Had to make a stop at Tetsa River Lodge for “Cinnamon Bun Centre of the Galactic Cluster”. I lived up to it’s billing! LOL
And Bighorn Sheep
We interrupted his eating in the road, but they moved away and immediately came back to eating!
Back to eating! LOL
Another Moose and Calf.
We decided to stop! After being on the road so long we were tired. So we pulled into a Scenic Vista and spent the night boondocking.
We backed in away from the road and this was our view. Rainy when we pulled in! Stayed hooked up because of the slope we were parked at.
WOW — all night long I heard the groans and LOUD pops of the truck settling. Such an angle I thought for sure we would roll back into the woods!
Raymond slept through it all. GOOD – The Driver should always be rested. hahahaha
Slowly making our way across Canada. Today we did 235 km (146 miles). Just beautiful countryside.
Stopped at Sikanni River RV Park, Peace River, Alberta
Small RV Park but plenty of room to fit us. Nothing special but great for an overnight.
Today we drive to Dawson Creek, BC. Been there before, so we are staying at Northern Lights RV Park again! Nice place and plenty of room for HDT.
Here is the last view from Hinton, AB KOA.
We took Canada Hwy 40 through Grand Cache and Grand Prairie.
Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada
Beaver Boardwalk near Hinton. Very nice boardwalk with trails looping all around Maxwell Lake.
But no Beavers were spotted today.
Evidence of Beavers! Still none spotted. HAHAHA
On a much brighter day, the violet-purple coloring on these ducks would be visible.
Today we left Lake Louise Campground and are headed to Hinton, AB KOA. We are driving the complete Icefield Parkway and stopping at the Discovery Center about halfway along the parkway. A friend from my high school in Pensacola will be there, so we are hoping we can rendezvous there and visit for a little while.
Herbert Lake Reflections (sorry for the other reflections! We were moving and I was snapping pictures).
a Big Brown Bear and he had a Black Bear about 600 yards behind him.
Bridal Veil Falls along Icefield Pkwy
Distinctly I remember…..
The Glacier Skywalk, we didn’t book ahead and do this. But it was fun seeing it from The Pkwy.
And he decided to lay down and eat too! LOL
Stopped Cars always means there is an animal sighting.
It’s a Male Elk. What a beautiful creature.
KOA Hinter Jasper. What a pretty campground. But, not one of the best we’ve been in. The internet went down “right before we got there”. Come to find out from others parked there it had been down for days, and it’s a recurring problem. Won’t be staying there again! So, we went into the Hinton Visitor Center and were able to get online.
60 miles North on the Icefield Parkway is Waterfowl Lakes. This area of Alberta is truly the most beautiful places we’ve visited.
Num-Ti-Jah Lodge! We decided to stop and explore. Even found some great jackets for 80% off (last season deals).
Fun place to explore their grounds.
Kept driving North to Peyto Lake. IF you are ever in this area, DO NOT MISS this hike to the lake. Even more beautiful than Moraine, Louise or Waterfowl.
Hard to believe, I know, but it is.
We trekked through trails covered in snow, but so worth it.
Peyto Lake on Icefields Parkway
Ruffed Grouse along our trail
True Baby Stars of Alberta
Today we are off to Banff via The Bow Valley Parkway. 60 miles from Lake Louise Campground (Trailer) to downtown Banff, Via Canada 1A. A beautiful road
with lots to see along the way. We are running parallel to the Bow River and Canada 1, but with the thick forests we are driving through we never see “1” and only
see the Bow River occasionally.
We stopped at Baker Creek Mountain Resort & Cafe, Bow Valley Parkway. Very cute resort.
From inside the Cafe.
We decided to hike Castle Mountain Lookout. Not a long trail, but very steep. I ended up walking back down the hill with a group we met along the way (that also turned around)
while Raymond continued. I found Calypso or Fairy slipper orchid growing in forest. Actually missed seeing them on the way up the mountain.
Had no idea Canada had internment camps!
Another Bear! Almost daily when we are out we see a bear or more!
This guy decided to lay down and eat.
Vermillion Lake, Banff, Alberta, Canada
Elk in Banff near Tunnel Mountain Campground
Bow Falls, Downtown Banff.
Since we are only planning a few days in Lake Louise, we are enjoying driving hundreds of miles and (usual for us) being “out and about” every day.
Even drove 70 miles (half way) up The Icefield Parkway.
Gray Jay of Alberta, Canada
Most visitors claim Lake Louise is the most beautiful, but WOW Lake Moraine knocked my socks off.
Nice paths around the lake to wander.
Raymond spotted this guy, who thought he was not being seen.
We can still see you! I still don’t see how the rest of his body was hidden, but it was! That tree just wasn’t “that” big. LOL
Star Wars Face, do you see it?
We left Lake Moraine and decided to drive North on The Icefields Parkway. BEAR! YAY.
Didn’t think we’d spot on so soon.
Lake Hector, Alberta.
We turned around from taking pictures of Hector Lake and here is another BEAR walking down the center of the road.
@ Hector Lake Viewpoint. Glad he was walking away from us!
Reflections of Hector Lake, Alberta
Pale and Beautiful Sunset in Alberta
The morning view of Columbia Lake before we head to Lake Louise.
This is my idea of driving through a Slot Canyon!
Some Mountain Climbing going on. An hour later when we came back by this area, she was still up there. Made me feel tired watching her. LOL
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Rooms start at $750
Beautiful Lake Louise
As we left Lake Louise Drive, we saw this Porcupine.
WOW, Look at his claws!
The Avalanche Waiting To Happen! It did not before we left.

The controversy that erupted when Chick-fil-A president and chief operating officer Don Cathy told the Baptist Press that “we are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business” has given rise to an interesting crisis communications case study, and to some even more interesting questions about the wisdom and appropriateness of various forms of consumer action. Cathy’s remarks—coupled with the company’s own policies and history of donations to anti-gay causes—triggered a storm of criticism, a boycott by gay-friendly consumers, a day of support by anti-gay bigots and (bending over backwards to be fair) free speech advocates, and threats from various government officials to make life difficult for the restaurant chain to open additional outlets in their towns. Let’s start by interpreting Cathy’s claims about the “biblical definition of the family unit” in the most generous light. Let’s assume Cathy means that marriage is “between a man and a woman” rather than endorsing polygamy (by far the most common form of marriage in the bible) or the right of men to take the women of conquered peoples as their “wives.” And let’s ignore for now that fact that many Christians are happy to accept gay and lesbian marriage. Taking that as a starting point, I have a couple of points to make, one about appropriate and inappropriate kinds of protest, and one about appropriate and inappropriate kinds of corporate response to a crisis like this one. As many others—including the vast majority of liberal commentators—have observed, the threats against Chick-fil-A by the mayors of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco were entirely inappropriate. Threatening to exclude a company on the basis of its CEOs’ views is a serious rising government restriction of freedom of both speech and religion. And quite apart from the principle, the danger of right-wing mayors discriminating against gay-friendly companies ought to be sufficient to discourage any precedent. (If there was evidence that Chick-fil-A was violating the rights of gay and lesbian employees that would be a different matter entirely.) On the other hand, criticism of the Chick-fil-A boycott and the National Marriage Equality Day campaign, which saw consumers flock to Starbucks, seems slightly misguided to me. At Slate, J Bryan Lowder asks, “That being said, it’s worth asking what it means that the discourse surrounding gay equality has become so, well, corporate. When freeway-exit restaurants become the battleground upon which we fight, haven’t we taken a dangerous detour on the way to someplace more appropriate like, I don’t know, Washington?” It’s not an absurd observation, but I do think it’s wrong in a couple of ways. First, because corporations have the ability to impact citizens’ quality of life at least as much as corporations do, and many companies have in fact taken a lead on gay rights issues—providing benefits to civil partners, for example—ahead of regulatory changes. And second, corporate money drives the political process; letting companies know what consumers think of their political expenditures can have an impact on the political process. Now to the good and bad of Chick-fil-A’s response. The company’s initial attempt to appease protestors involved either permitting or encouraging individual franchisees to distribute a statement distancing themselves from the corporate position. Several franchisees released what was obviously a corporate form letter, emphasizing that Cathy had been expressing his personal views, and that the local franchise valued its relationships with all of its customers. The fact that this was so clearly pro forma made it look phony. Having said that, Chick-fil-A’s corporate response—the company has stuck to its guns, and welcomed a customer “appreciation day” organized by its supporters—makes sense to me. I happen to believe the company is on the wrong side of history, just as Woolworth was a little over 50 years ago. But I have always believed that good public relations had to be driven by an organization’s values rather than by expediency. If Chick-fil-A genuinely believes this stuff, it should be true to its values, and not be swayed by a cynical calculation about whether a change in policy would broaden its popularity. That’s called authenticity, and there is not enough of it in corporate America these days. | <urn:uuid:d01aec5c-cf07-4332-8bcf-695a70007318> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,478 |

This region has been one of growing importance for us over many years, with a demographic of early adopters for new technology. The MENA region has been a strong supporter of Samsung and we continue to pledge our commitment to delivering innovation that brings new experiences and enhanced engagement to their lives.
As part of our growing role in the region, Samsung has also been undertaking significant efforts to enhance the IT experience and to support the education for the children and youth, through Samsung Smart School Initiatives.

Collaborating with 20th Century Fox, Samsung is optimizing content to deliver premium quality of SUHD and give consumers an unrivaled viewing experience. Most recently, Samsung partnered with the Fox Innovation Lab to re-master the critically acclaimed film, Life of Pi specifically for SUHD TV and deliver images with more vivid and lifelike colors than ever before.
From 2015, all new Samsung Smart TVs will be powered by the Tizen operating system, which not only provides better connectivity, but also gives developers a more robust and easier platform to create applications. Most importantly, it ensures that consumers will have access to a much broader range of Smart TV content and services.

S) In Matthew 22: 1-14 Jesus tells the parable about a king who invites guests to his son’s wedding. The guests did not come (v5-6) “But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.” So the king invited any others instead. Verse 10 “So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.”
F) Being called to faith is 2 steps. 1) God tells you something is coming 2) He calls you to it. If I know every detail beforehand then it’s not faith. From helping at church outside of a regular service or more, trust what you are called to do.
P) Pray that you hear the call to faithful, faith lead, and faith filled events or activities in your life. Pray that they become a priority.
Often, we make faith in God more complicated than it needs to be. The example above points out that when you are called, your first response is to show up. After that there is more to do and more to work on, but the initial steps are short and easy. Planning, dreaming, doing, and living it out all that come after you show up to where God has called you. Showing up for you might be praying, going to church, telling a friend about your belief, accepting Jesus for real or something else. The wedding guests had plenty of other things they wanted to do and to those on the outside those were the “right” choices to make. However, you know better that those were not the right choices. Time to adhere to His call.

The hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), also known as the hyacinthine macaw, is a majestic and beautiful bird that captivates bird enthusiasts and parrot lovers alike. Known for its vibrant blue plumage, large size, and powerful beak, this fascinating creature is the largest flying parrot species in the world. However, the hyacinth macaw is also a threatened species, facing numerous challenges in the wild. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the hyacinth macaw’s natural history, behavior, diet, and conservation status, as well as the unique challenges and joys of owning one as a pet.
Hyacinth Macaw Description
Size and Appearance
The hyacinth macaw, also called blue macaw, is a truly impressive bird, with a length of up to 100 cm (39 inches) and a wingspan of about 150 cm (59 inches). Its striking blue plumage ranges from a rich cobalt to a lighter sky blue, and its long pointed tail and bright yellow eye ring give it a distinctive appearance. The hyacinth macaw’s beak is large and powerful, capable of cracking the hardest of nuts and even crack coconuts.
This magnificent bird thrives in a variety of habitats, including palm swamps, savannah grasslands, flooded grasslands, and lightly forested areas. They can be found nesting in tree cavities and cliff faces.
The hyacinth macaw is native to the tropical regions of eastern South America, with populations primarily found in the Pantanal region of Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and northeastern Paraguay.
Behavior and Intelligence of Hyacinth Macaws
These birds are highly social and often seen in pairs or small family groups. Hyacinth macaws are known to be gentle and affectionate, earning them the nickname “gentle giants” among bird enthusiasts.
Hyacinth macaws use a variety of vocalizations, including screeches, squawks, and growls, to communicate with each other. They also use body language, such as fluffing their feathers and bobbing their heads, to convey their emotions.
As an intelligent bird, the hyacinth macaw is known for its problem-solving abilities and capacity to learn tricks. They are also skilled mimics, able to imitate human speech and other sounds, although they may not be as adept at this as some other parrot species.
Diet and Feeding of Hyacinth Macaws
In the wild, the hyacinth macaw’s diet primarily consists of nuts from acuri and bocaiuva palms, as well as fruits, seeds, and occasionally vegetables. Their powerful beak is perfectly adapted for cracking open the hard shells of these nuts, including brazil nuts and macadamia nuts.
Feeding in Captivity
In captivity, a hyacinth macaw’s diet should be carefully balanced to meet their nutritional needs. This typically includes a mix of parrot pellets, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. It is important to provide them with a variety of nuts to maintain their beak health and ensure they receive the necessary nutrients.
Breeding and Reproduction
Hyacinth macaws typically form strong, monogamous bonds with their mates. During the breeding season, they will search for suitable nesting sites in tree cavities or cliff faces. They may also use artificial nests provided by conservation initiatives.
A female hyacinth macaw will lay one to two eggs, which she incubates for approximately 30 days. The male assists in feeding and protecting the nest during this time. Once the chicks hatch, both parents take turns feeding and caring for their young hyacinth macaw offspring. The chicks fledge at around 110 days, but may remain dependent on their parents for several months after leaving the nest.
Threats to the Hyacinth Macaws
Habitat destruction is one of the most significant threats facing hyacinth macaws. Deforestation, cattle ranching, mechanized agriculture, and exotic tree plantations have all contributed to the loss of their native palm swamps, wooded habitats, and lightly forested areas, which are home to specific palm species essential for their survival. This has resulted in fragmented populations and reduced breeding success, making these gentle giants vulnerable to aggressive bird species encroaching on their territory.
Illegal Pet Trade
The illegal pet trade has taken a heavy toll on wild hyacinth macaw populations. Their stunning appearance and gentle nature make them highly sought after as pet birds, and they are often captured from the wild and sold on the black market. This not only reduces their wild population numbers but also puts these birds at risk of abuse and neglect in captivity.
Macaw wasting disease, also known as proventricular dilatation disease, is a potentially fatal condition that can affect hyacinth macaws, as well as other macaw species. This disease damages the nerves controlling the bird’s digestive system, leading to weight loss and eventual death if left untreated.
Hyacinth Macaws Conservation Initiatives
Hyacinth Macaw Project
The Hyacinth Macaw Project is a conservation initiative focused on protecting and preserving the species, considered as endangered, in their natural habitat. The project’s efforts include habitat restoration, artificial nest installation, and population monitoring of these wild birds to ensure the survival of this endangered species.
Conservation organizations and local communities have worked together to restore hyacinth macaw habitat by planting native palms and other tree species essential to the bird’s survival. This helps to support healthy populations and promote breeding success in the wild.
Captive Breeding Programs
Captive breeding programs have been established to help maintain the species’ genetic diversity and ensure a healthy population of hyacinth macaws for future reintroduction efforts. These programs carefully manage breeding pairs to prevent inbreeding and genetic disorders.
Caring for a Hyacinth Macaw as a Pet
Housing and Space Requirements
Hyacinth macaws require a significant amount of space due to their large size and long pointed tail. Parrot cages for these birds should be sturdy and spacious, with dimensions of at least 8 feet in length, 4 feet in width, and 6 feet in height. Additionally, they should have access to a safe, outdoor aviary or a dedicated room where they can stretch their wings and exercise.
Socialization and Enrichment
Hyacinth macaws are highly social and intelligent birds that require mental and physical stimulation to thrive in captivity. They enjoy interacting playfully with their human caretakers and should be provided with a variety of toys, perches, and chewable objects to keep them engaged. They also benefit from regular socialization with other birds or humans, as well as consistent training and positive reinforcement.
Diet and Nutrition
As mentioned earlier, a hyacinth macaw’s diet in captivity should consist of a balanced mix of parrot pellets, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Providing a variety of nuts, such as brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, and walnuts, is essential for maintaining their beak health and meeting their nutritional needs. Additionally, fresh fruits and vegetables should be offered daily to ensure a well-rounded diet.
Health and Veterinary Care
Regular health exams are crucial for maintaining the well-being of a hyacinth macaw in captivity. A specialized avian veterinarian should examine the bird at least once a year to ensure good health and address any potential issues early on. Common health concerns for hyacinth macaws include overgrown beaks, which may require trimming, and susceptibility to macaw wasting disease.
The Future of Hyacinth Macaws
While the hyacinth macaw remains a threatened species, ongoing conservation efforts have had a positive impact on their wild populations. Habitat restoration, artificial nest installation, and captive breeding programs have all contributed to stabilizing their numbers and improving their conservation status. Continued support for these initiatives, as well as efforts to combat illegal pet trade and habitat destruction, will be essential for ensuring the long-term survival of this magnificent bird species.
The hyacinth macaw, also known as the anodorhynchus hyacinthinus or hyacinthine macaw, is an incredible and unique parrot species among the macaw species that has captured the hearts of bird enthusiasts around the world. With its vibrant blue feathers, gentle disposition, and impressive intelligence, it’s easy to see why they are so highly prized as pets. However, it’s important to remember the challenges these birds face in the wild, from habitat loss to illegal pet trade. By supporting conservation initiatives and responsible pet ownership, we can help ensure a brighter future for these gentle giants of the parrot world. | <urn:uuid:28ff7add-ee3f-424b-b84b-c64cc12269c3> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 8,656 |
High velocity clouds (HVCs) of gas have been seen for decades but their origins and destinations have remained mysterious. Recent measurements have now placed at least one of these clouds in the halo of our Milky Way Galaxy, while other measurements have determined the relative abundance of cloud elements. Of the two clouds measured, each appears to have a chemical abundance consistent with a different origin. One HVC has been measured to have very few heavy elements ("low metallically") compared to neighboring stars, while another HVC has been inferred to have a heavy element abundance more typical of neighboring stars. Hypotheses are therefore being investigated that some HVCs are local gas remnants being pushed away from our Galaxy by supernova explosions, while other HVCs are ancient dwarf galaxy remnants falling toward our Galaxy. The latter possibility is particularly interesting as it might help explain how our Galaxy can continue to make stars at the observed rate. Fast moving HVCs are circled in the above false-color mosaic.

This course explores various roles that designers can play to generate and organize content and create visual forms and structures. Conversations between Lupton and Horne will examine diverse approaches to the production of form and content. The instructors will apply each method to contemporary practice, from problem solving to narrative thinking. Students will explore both theory and practice by considering some prevailing ideas about the designer’s agency to author compelling content.
This course is in scheduled mode. Learn more about scheduled courses here.
Session 1: Design Thinking
Design thinking is a widely practiced method that involves studying a problem, observing users, generating multiple ideas, prototyping solutions, and testing results. Design thinking is a non-linear process that is often conducted with multidisciplinary groups. It is especially effective at the early phases of the design process, when it is valuable to think broadly and openly about why a project is being pursued and how people might benefit from its outcomes.
Session 2: Form and Content
Graphic designers continually break down the dichotomy of form and content. One of modern design’s most crucial insights is that the way texts and ideas are framed, visualized, and delivered changes their meaning and impact. This lesson looks at different methods or strategies for using form to lead—rather than follow or serve—the design process.
Session 3: Signs and Symbols
Semiotics is the theory of how signs and symbols convey and create meaning. This lesson examines the relevance of key concepts from the field of semiotics (theory of signs), including icon, index, symbol and pragmatics, semantics, and syntactics, as these concepts relate to contemporary graphic design practice.
Session 4: Storytelling
Human beings are drawn to stories. Animations and graphic novels are time-based works, but even a flat, two-dimensional poster can contain the elements of a story by implying action and movement, representing characters and conflicts, and issuing a call to action to viewers. This lesson introduces basic principles of visual storytelling, and prepares students for the second half of this course, which focuses on user experience.

To illustrate that people see what they want to see: items of prominence catch our attention while seemingly less important items may pass on by.
Pass out face-down copies of the following page to the group. When everyone is ready, ask them to turn the paper over and simply count how many times the letter ' f ' appears on their sheet. Allow only a minute. Then, ask "How many of you got 3 F's?" "Who has 4 F's on their sheet? How about 5?.... Does anyone have 6?"
(About 50% of the group will see only 3 F's, 10% will see all 6 F's. The rest 4 or 5 on the sheet.)
1.Why couldn't all of us initially see all 6 F's.
2. Have you observed situations where only the important things get attention? Who decides what is important?
3. How can we persuade people to pay more attention to detail? Is it always important?

Many fulminate daily in the South China Morning Post about the poor standard of English instruction in Hong Kong. Many hearken back to a 'golden age' of English language teaching in the 1950s and 1960s; certainly I have found a large number of people in that age cohort that speak better English than their equivalents today.
But then, English instruction was not uniformly good throughout Hong Kong's history either, even in Victorian times when British power could be said to be at its apogee. Let me quote from Governor John Pope-Hennessy's comments on a Blue Book in 1880:
In the early years of this Colony, successive Secretaries of State impressed on Sir Henry Pottinger, Sir John Davis, and other Governors, the primary duty of encouraging schools where the Chinese boys could learn English. Some of my predecessors recognized the national importance of this, and directed English to be taught in every school supported by the Government. For a short time this was done. But on my first inspection of the Government schools, I found that the teaching of English had been given up in all of them, with one exception. n the principal Government School - the Central School, - which had been established for the special purpose of teaching English to the natives, I inspected two class rooms, containing one hundred and fifty boys, under three Chinese teachers, and I found that neither the teachers nor the pupils could speak a word of English. Soon after this, I requested the European Head Master of the school to examine all the pupils on the roll, and to report to the Government as to their capacity for speaking English. He reported that out of the 412 Chinese boys in attendance, 18 were able to speak English with considerable fluency, 58 spoke English with diffidence, and 336 could not be said to speak English at all.And this was at a time when English and the use of it were incredibly important:
Within the last few months, the first examination of this school by independent examiners was held, when they obtained results almost as unsatisfactory as those reported by the Head Master, Mr. Stewart, in 1878. They reported that "scarcely any of the Chinese boys produced in translation into English a single grammatical sentence."
During the four years of my administration, many trials have taken place in the Supreme Court, criminal trials and civil cases, both tried by juries, but though the majority of the prisoners tried are Chinese, and a considerable quantity of the property disposed of by the verdicts of juries is Chinese property,- nevertheless, I do not remember in the whole course of those four years to have seen a Chinaman on a jury. The Ordinance under which juries are summoned, provides that no man can sit on a jury who has not a knowledge of English.The power structures of the Colony, therefore, were inimical to greater Chinese penetration given their inability to speak English - and this was a subject to which Pope-Hennessy was more sensitive to than most. The Governor then seems to place the blame of this lack of English knowledge on the private sector:
In a letter written by the Inspector of schools to the Colonial Secretary in April 1880, a passage occurs which, perhaps, accounts for the defective state of English teaching in the Colony. The Inspector writes:-"I heard it once stated by the Head Master of the Central School, in the presence of His Excellency the Governor, that there are foreign merchants in the Colony who, in the interest of local foreign trade, desire that their Chinese clerks should not be taught any more English than is required to enable them to copy an English letter readily and neatly, and who discourage, therefore, any attempt to give Chinese youths a thorough command of the English language."This was not a passage that alumni of Queen's College, the successor institution to the Government Central School (pictured above a couple decades later, in 1903), would relish. Particularly this last passage:
Her Majesty's Government are, however, aware that within the last two of three years the practice of teaching English has been restored in the smaller Government schools; and, in course of time, I hope to render the Central School more useful in this respect.So rest assured then, that the inability of the larger part of the Hong Kong Chinese to speak English properly has not just been a recent phenomenon. However, whereas they were thereby disadvantaged in the power structures and in conducting business within the Colony, today, they are disadvantaged in the global economy instead - a troubling aspect of a city with global pretensions as Asia's World City. | <urn:uuid:e65ba7d7-d4c9-4984-bac2-5f697c394e90> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,653 |

Religion and Animal Welfare—An Islamic Perspective
AbstractIslam is a comprehensive religion guiding the lives of its followers through sets of rules governing the personal, social, and public aspects through the verses of the Holy Qur’an and Hadiths, the compilation of the traditions of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), the two main documents that serve as guidelines. Islam is explicit with regard to using animals for human purposes and there is a rich tradition of the Prophet Mohammad’s (pbuh) concern for animals to be found in the Hadith and Sunna. Islam has also laid down rules for humane slaughter. In many countries animals are killed without pre-stunning. Regardless of pre-stunning, such meat should not be treated as halāl or at least be considered as Makrooh (detestable or abominable), because the animals have been beaten or treated without compassion during production, handling, transport, and slaughter. Many Muslims and Islamic religious leaders are not aware of the cruelty that is routinely inflicted on animals during transport, pre-slaughter, and slaughter in many Islamic countries. There is an urgent need to sensitize all Muslims to the teachings of animal welfare in the Qur’an and the Hadiths. A campaign is needed to apprise religious leaders of the current cruelty that occurs during transport and slaughter. View Full-Text

Below is the text on which Dr. Ford based his remarks to a conference on “The Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime: Laying the Groundwork for the 2015 Review Conference” held at Wiston House at Wilton Park in the United Kingdom, on December 12, 2012. Assistant Secretary of Defense Madelyn Creedon and Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Countryman both also took part in this panel discussion.
Good morning. Let me begin by expressing my thanks to the wonderful Wilton Park staff, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Government of Norway, and the Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories for their kind invitation to participate in this conference.
I’d like to offer some thoughts about the diplomatic agenda leading up to the 2015 Review Conference (RevCon) for the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). First, however, I hope you’ll indulge me in what might seem to be a little digression, which I assure you is indeed relevant.
In the American vernacular, we have a turn of phrase about a “Nixon-in-China moment.” It refers to a situation in which a leader with a well-established reputation and investment of political capital in moving in one direction is able suddenly to move constructively in what appears to be the opposite direction. The phrase comes from President Richard Nixon’s willingness to reach out to Communist China in the early 1970s – a feat of statesmanship that he might not have been politically able to accomplish had he not first acquired an ironclad reputation as an anti-Communist hardliner.
Why do I think this phrase is useful in connection with thinking about the agenda for the 2015 RevCon? I’ve already offered thoughts elsewhere [see, e.g., here and here] about what I think some of the elements need to be, not least in contending that it is time to abandon the now pretty clearly discredited idea that demonstrating disarmament “credibility” is the key to turning around international nonproliferation policy. We need to spend a lot more time defending nonproliferation as something that has value on its own terms and for all NPT States Party, and not merely as a way station on the road to some presumed future of nuclear weapons abolition. We must get out of the dangerous business of seeming – as all too much such discourse sometimes tends to do – to validate the pernicious assumption that a failure to reach nuclear “zero” essentially justifies proliferation. I’d also like to see us finally start challenging proliferation-facilitating interpretations of the law – particularly Article IV of the NPT, which to my knowledge the U.S. hasn’t tried to do since 2005 (and did none too emphatically even then).
But let me move past those points to what I think is an equally important one with respect to the U.S. diplomatic posture for the upcoming RevCon. And since so many participants here have felt very free to tell the American government what to do on disarmament, let me – with apologies to Madelyn and Tom – pile on and offer my own thoughts on how the Obama Administration should approach that issue in the run-up to the RevCon.
For the last several years, the United States approach seems to have been giving some mixed messages. Abroad, we have been presenting ourselves as the diligent heirs to President Obama’s “Prague speech” in which he promised to lead the world toward nuclear weapons abolition. We are, it is emphasized, aiming for a new strategic treaty with Russia, still hoping to get the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) ratified, we oppose “new” nuclear weapons, and we’re working hard to create a world in which we could de-alert our missile force and declare that the “sole purpose” of nuclear weapons is to deter the use of other such weapons. We may get a little squirrelly on the details and the timing, but our diplomats take great trouble to promise a rosy future – and have tried with all their might to make January 2009 look like it marked a great and salutary discontinuity in U.S. nuclear policy.
At home, however, Americans are reassured that we are firmly committed to nuclear modernization – including trying to update the production infrastructure and starting work on a Minuteman missile successor, a replacement for the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, and a new bomber. We are reassured that we aren’t de-alerting our forces, and that our declaratory policy is still appropriately flexible. We are reminded that not building “new” weapons still permits us to modernize our weapons designs along lines apparently not so inconsistent with the Bush-era “Reliable Replacement Warhead” (RRW), and that U.S. experts just conducted another sub-critical nuclear test at the Nevada National Security Site.
For all the posturing about “new” weapons, moreover, we’re presently working to spruce up our B-61 gravity bomb – an at least modestly earth penetrating version of which was deployed, it is perhaps worth recalling, under President Bill Clinton – with the addition, inter alia, of a new tail section that will apparently add pinpoint geolocation accuracy analogous to that used on our “joint direct attack munitions” (JDAMs) in conventional strike missions. (This B-61 Model 12, by the way, will also be carriable on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter – which will, among other things, permit us to fly “dual-capable” missions from forward platforms in East Asia if need be, and will allow NATO allies to continue longstanding “nuclear sharing” contingency arrangements in Europe.) Privately, I’ve seen U.S. officials roll their eyes about promises of CTBT ratification – or even, to some extent, the likelihood of an Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty (FMCT) – and I’ve heard them explain to select audiences that they’d be surprised if Russia were willing to negotiate anything seriously before President Obama leaves office. In short, Americans, at home, are reassured that current nuclear policies are not actually much different than before 2009.
The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) – a document written by a committee if ever there were one – embodies all of these various elements at the same time. We seem to want to have our public positional cake and eat it at the same time. I assume that all of this appears either simply confusing or indeed actually two-faced to a great many international observers, and indeed more than a few of my friends in the disarmament community seem to feel that they have been taken in by a deeply cynical bait-and-switch gambit.
I think, however, that much of such criticism is unfair. While the Obama nuclear policy does look, as I’ve written before, much like a kind of “Bush Lite” agenda camouflaged in politically correct disarmament rhetoric, I believe that much of what the present administration is doing can be justified as being consistent with a serious disarmament agenda. Specifically, it respects the facts that (a) “zero” will take a very long time to achieve if it occurs at all, and (b) long before it arrives, U.S. planners will have to struggle with a range of maintenance, reliability, force-tailoring, and block-obsolescence issues in their nuclear arsenal. And American officials do sometimes publicly make the case that all the concrete steps they are actually taking are based on sound and sustainable disarmament reasoning. For the most part, however – especially abroad and in places like NPT review process conclaves – we seem to hope that people simply won’t notice the differences between our internal and external discourse.
I’d submit that the time is past when we can – or should – try to get away with playing diplomatic hide-the-ball. I’d like to see us drop the defensive ducking and dodging overseas, and if all of the various steps of our actual nuclear policy are indeed things which any really serious disarmament advocate should understand and support, our diplomats should make such arguments proudly. There is value, and virtue, in stating our position openly and honestly, even if doing so deprives us of the shallow banalities of achieving “consensus” on some final document at a Review Conference.
And this is where I circle back to the idea of a “Nixon in China” moment, for I believe Barack Obama has the opportunity for just such an act of unexpected statesmanship on nuclear disarmament.
I’ve heard it suggested that only a hawkish president could really get away with major nuclear cuts. But the other side of that coin is that it may be that only a relatively conspicuous nuclear “dove” has the political capital to really make the case for the sort of sensible arsenal management policies that we would indeed need for many years on the long road to a goal of abolition that is surely still far off, if indeed it is achievable at all. Our current, Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning pro-disarmament president, in other words, is well positioned to take international disarmament discourse to its next level.
I can only assume that the Obama Administration really believes that its nuclear modernization agenda is consistent with a path toward eventual abolition. They claim this when I discuss it with them, they seem to be sincere, and they may well be right. I am myself skeptical about “zero,” but as I have noted elsewhere, we’re at a weird and perhaps unexpected point where the (serious) abolitionist agenda and the “indefinite deterrence” agenda actually overlap in significant ways, at least for a while. Much of our current path is indeed equally defensible as planning against a future of continued nuclear deterrence and as planning for eventual disarmament. (Indeed, in modern Washington, both of these rationales badly need defending against thoughtless budget-cutters.) These two overlapping nuclear roads are likely to diverge again at some point, of course, but they haven’t done so yet.
What U.S. officials presently lack, however, is international understanding of and support for the part of their disarmament agenda that involves trying to maintain effective and reliable deterrence en route to a future “zero” that is still very far off. And it is upon building such understanding and support that I would hope our diplomacy can focus in the run-up to the 2015 RevCon. This is where I believe President Obama could display his own feat of “Nixon-in-China” statesmanship. If anyone can elicit international support and understanding for a sensible American path of bringing our nuclear deterrent into the 21st Century while seeking to reduce it to the smallest size consistent with international peace and security and while aiming for some eventual “zero,” it is presumably Barack Obama.
Such a diplomatic agenda would abandon the defensiveness we’ve shown for so long about our continued possession of a nuclear arsenal and about its modernization. It would rebut the received wisdom of deliberately self-damaging “decay-in-place” abolitionism with a positive vision of how strategic stability is actually to be maintained – rather than just assumed in a fit of wishful thinking – in a world on the way toward some eventual “zero.” And it would seek to offer some way of more effectively approaching the real challenge of disarmament, which lies – as the NPT’s own Preamble should remind us – less in the regulation of armaments per se than in the easing of international tension and the strengthening of trust between states.
This is a diplomatic agenda that would require the investment of significant political capital and a good deal of hard work. It is also an agenda that might – at least in the short term – imperil the kind of lowest-common-denominator “consensus” that has hitherto been the objective of the NPT review process. It is an agenda, however, that would probably do more good than just engaging in more diplomatic games of rhetorical hide-the-ball. In practice, our diplomats have been raising radical abolitionist expectations that we cannot (and should not) meet, so unless they start making the more complicated and subtle case for how the elements of current U.S. policy do actually fit together, the rest of the world will draw the seemingly “obvious” conclusion that they don’t.
Such a courageous and forward-looking approach does not appear to be our diplomatic agenda at present. But American voters have just given President Obama a few more years to work with. Perhaps he’ll embrace it yet.
Thank you. I look forward to our discussions.

Is El Salvador changing currency?
Photos: Bitcoin has a rocky rollout as El Salvador’s new national currency. Bitcoin is now a legal tender in El Salvador, three months after President Bukele announced the idea at a Miami crypto conference. The rollout this week was rocky and was met with heavy skepticism from the Salvadoran public.
What is the currency of El Salvador 2021?
As of today, Bitcoin is an official currency of El Salvador alongside the US dollar, after the Central American country became the first to adopt the cryptocurrency as legal tender.
What is El Salvador currency now?
“Monetary integration is our bullet-proofing mechanism for joining the globalised market,” said Mr Rafael Barraza, director of El Salvador’s central bank. … The change of currency is expected to reactivate the economy and attract foreign investment.
Is bitcoin mandatory in El Salvador?
Under the new law, El Salvador will “promote necessary training and mechanisms so that the population can access [bitcoin] transactions.” However, those who do not have access to technologies that can carry out bitcoin are excluded from being required to accept it as payment.
When did El Salvador switch to bitcoin?
On June 5, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele declared that bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, would become legal tender in El Salvador. A few days later, the Bitcoin Law was passed, to take effect Sept. 7.
Why El Salvador use US dollars?
On 1 January 2001, the government in El Salvador gave up control of its monetary policy . It abandoned the fixed exchange rate and “dollarized” the economy. Thus, U.S. currency can be used in El Salvador as legal tender. … They point out that exporters are having trouble maintaining market share in the global economy.
What is happening with Bitcoin in El Salvador?
El Salvador plans to build a Bitcoin city at the base of a volcano, with the cryptocurrency used to fund the project, its president has announced. The city will be circular to represent the shape of a large coin and will be built in the south-eastern region of La Unión, President Nayib Bukele said.
Which country went to Bitcoin?
El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender, encouraging citizens and businesses to transact in the cryptocurrency.
When did El Salvador start using US currency?
From 1993 through 2000, El Salvador operated under a pegged exchange rate with the domestic currency of the time, the colón, trading at a rate of about 8.75 per U.S. dollar (López, 2001, describes monetary policy before official dollarization). As of January 1st, 2001, the U.S. dollar became legal tender.
Does El Salvador Use pesos?
The Peso. In 1883, President Rafael Zaldivar oversaw the implementation of the First Monetary Law, which adopted the peso as El Salvador’s official currency.
Does El Salvador US USD?
The Low Down on El Salvador Currency
The official currency used in El Salvador is the US dollar; and 1 dollar is subdivided into 100 cents. Prior to the use of the USD in El Salvador, the Salvadoran colon was the official currency. … The USD was adopted in 2001, with a fixed exchange rate of 8.75 colones per dollar. | <urn:uuid:1e56d579-2a52-43d5-beab-8887d0eef00b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,153 |

HEBRON, Ky. – Coach Mick Cronin welcomed members of the University of Cincinnati Tip-Off Club along with some former players and supporters of the men’s basketball program to the fifth annual Bearcats Classic on Aug. 26 at Tradition’s Golf Club.
The yearly fundraiser gave supporters the opportunity to participate in a round of golf alongside the Bearcats coach and players from the past. Those unable to participate on the course were encouraged to sponsor a hole or join the group at dinner and a social event that followed on Monday evening.
Funds raised at the event help offset expenses for travel and program enhancement projects.
“This event provides the chance to spend time with former players and coaches along with current staff and fellow Bearcats,” Cronin said. “There are a lot of people here that love UC basketball and it was great to see them and give them an update on this year’s team. We would not have the program we have today without their support and we’re very thankful for everyone that was here.”
The donation costs included $750 per person or $1,500 per team; hole sponsorships for $500 or dinner reservations for $250 per person.
UC fans are encouraged to join the Tip-Off Club which assists in funding targeted needs of the men’s basketball program. Contributors are provided active membership into UCATS, receiving priority points. Donations can be made on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis through the UCATS office. Membership levels range from $1,000 to $10,000. Those interested in joining should call the UCATS office at (513) 556-4884.
Traditions Golf Club also serves as the home course for the UC men’s and women’s golf programs. | <urn:uuid:60541b26-7f9d-4c8c-9807-303caf51f412> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,697 |
In February 2000, President Clinton officially designated March as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. In the 22 years since then, March has become a rallying point around which to spread colorectal cancer awareness and education. Let’s take a look at what to know, including signs & symptoms, how to get screened, and more!
Colorectal Cancer Facts
According to figures from the American Cancer Society, approximately 4.4% of men and 4.1% of women will be diagnosed with CRC in their lifetime. Although the majority of CRC cases are seen in adults 50 and over, 12% of cases are diagnosed in individuals younger than 50, an average of 49 new cases each day.
Since the 1980s, the rate of new cases has decreased significantly. This is mostly a result of increased screening frequency and technologies, but also partly due to improved lifestyle-related risk factors like healthy eating, exercise, and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco.
Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or the rectum. Depending on where the cancerous cells originate, it can also be called colon cancer or rectal cancer. These are often grouped together because of the many features they have in common.
Signs & Symptoms
Most colorectal cancers start as growths, or polyps, on the inner lining of the rectum or colon. Some polyps change into cancer over time, while others are benign. Not all polyps become cancer.
Colorectal cancer may not produce immediately noticeable symptoms. However, signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer include:
•A change in bowel habits (such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool) that lasts for more than a few days
•Rectal bleeding with bright red blood
•Blood in the stool (which may make stool appear dark brown or black)
•Cramping or abdominal pain
•Weakness and/or fatigue
•Unintended weight loss
Many of these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than colorectal cancer, such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Crohn’s disease, hemorrhoids, or infections. If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, contact your doctor right away. Early detection–and intervention–saves lives.
Risk Factors You Can Control
Scientists have linked many lifestyle factors to colorectal cancer. Specifically, the links between weight, diet, and exercise are some of the strongest for any type of cancer. To decrease your risk of developing colorectal cancer, strive to eat a healthy, balanced diet, abstain from alcohol and tobacco, and incorporate regular exercise into your daily regimen.
•Being overweight or obese
•Not being physically active
•Diets high in red/processed meat
Risk Factors You Can’t Control
At the same time, there are numerous risk factors that are outside of your control. For instance, your risk of colorectal cancer increases as you age–as it’s most common in adults over 50. Furthermore, a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, IBS, type 2 diabetes, and even your ethnic/racial background can put you at increased risk.
•A personal history of polyps/colorectal cancer
•Personal history of IBS
•A family history of colorectal cancer
•Having Type 2 Diabetes
How to Get Screened
The American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends annual screening for colonoscopy beginning at age 50 for both men and women at average risk. For those at increased risk due to the aforementioned risk factors, screening may begin earlier.
The most common tests used to screen for colorectal cancer include:
•Fecal occult blood test
•Double-contrast barium enema
•Stool DNA tests
The 5-year survival rate for individuals with localized colorectal cancer is 91%. That means when caught early, colorectal cancer can often be cured. In order to maximize your odds of early detection and intervention, it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms–as well as where to go and what to do if you notice something.
If you’re concerned about signs or symptoms, don’t hesitate to call your doctor’s office.
Together, We Can Beat Colorectal Cancer!
Although improvements in technology and increased screening have made CRC more treatable, there’s still work to be done. One of the key ways we can improve 5-year survival rates is through improved colorectal cancer awareness.
Be sure to encourage those you care about to be aware of the signs & symptoms–and to start regular screening when appropriate. Together, we can increase survival rates and allow patients with CRC to live longer and better lives!

Clinical Contributors to this Story
Martin E Gutierrez, M.D. contributes to topics such as Cancer Care.
Getting a cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, but having the right people to support you can make all the difference in the world.
This article outlines the people who may be on your cancer care team, and their specific roles while caring for patients.
Several health care providers form a cancer care team
Cancer patients may see several doctors and other health care providers throughout the cancer treatment process. Although each patient has a unique treatment plan, it’s likely that you’ll meet with some of these health care providers:
- surgical oncologists – surgically remove cancerous tumors
- medical oncologists – administer chemotherapy, immunotherapy and/or targeted therapy
- radiation oncologists – target cancer cells with radiation therapy
- plastic surgeons – reconstruct body parts (like breasts) after cancer surgery
- social workers – provide emotional support and coping skills throughout treatment
- nurse navigators – stay with you throughout your cancer journey, helping you access the right care and services while providing support and guidance
Nurse navigators play a special role for cancer patients
One critical member of every cancer care team is the nurse navigator, a registered nurse who specializes in oncology. This is the team member who coordinates your cancer care plan. Nurse navigators offer personalized care to each patient, explaining complex information and providing practical support and emotional guidance.
“A nurse navigator is an invaluable part of any cancer care team, because they provide knowledge and resources that are personally relevant to each patient,” says Martin Gutierrez, M.D., chief of thoracic oncology at Hackensack University Medical Center. “It’s often difficult for patients to figure out the intricacies of the health care system, but nurse navigators make the process easier, serving as a guide to help each patient become acclimated to their care plan.”
Nurse navigators can:
- help you keep track of your appointments
- explain the role of each doctor who treats you
- talk through your treatment options with you
- answer any questions that you may have throughout the treatment process
- work as a liaison between you and your doctors, coordinating your care
- help resolve any barriers to care, allowing you to get the treatment that you need
- keep you informed about your progress
- ask about your mental health and offer emotional support resources
- act as a confidant, if you need to talk
- connect you with social workers, therapists, nutritionists and other providers
- share information about support groups, as well as other resources for cancer patients
- advocate for you and teach you how to advocate for yourself
- help you recognize milestones during your cancer treatment
- prepare you for life after treatment, as a cancer survivor
During and after cancer treatment, nurse navigators focus on quality of care and quality of life for their patients. They help to ensure that doctors and other health care providers see beyond the notes in your medical chart and view you as an individual with personal goals and priorities, not just a number.
“Nurse navigators are a critical piece of the cancer journey puzzle,” says Dr. Gutierrez. “They prioritize each patient’s medical needs, emotional requirements and personal goals to help to ensure that patients don’t fall through any cracks during the treatments process.”

Introduction: To investigate in vivo differences in the distribution of α4β2 subtypes of nAChR using the ligand 123I-5-Iodo-3-[2(S)-2-azetidinylmethoxy] pyridine (5IA-85380) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in DLB and similarly aged controls. Methods: Thirty-one subjects (15 DLB and 16 controls) underwent 123I-5IA-85380 and perfusion (99mTc-exametazime) SPECT scanning. Patient scans were compared to scans of control subjects on a voxel-by-voxel basis using SPM2. Results: Compared to controls, significant reductions in relative 123I-5IA-85380 uptake were identified in frontal, striatal, temporal and cingulate regions in DLB. Elevation of scaled 123I-5IA-85380 uptake in occipital cortex was observed in DLB relative to controls, as well as being associated with DLB subjects with a recent history of visual hallucinations. Changes in 123I-5IA-85380 SPECT in DLB were different from perfusion. Conclusion: Reductions in normalised 123I-5IA-85380 uptake in DLB were distinct from their perfusion deficits. Significant increase in occipital lobe uptake was present in DLB, a change most pronounced in subjects with a recent history of visual hallucinations. The findings directly link cholinergic changes in occipital lobe to visual hallucinations in DLB. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Get out of bed early enough this weekend, find a spot with a wide view of the sky, and you may get a rare glimpse of a U.S. space shuttle streaking across the sky.
Usually the shuttle flights circle Earth no farther north than Cape Canaveral, too far south to be spotted from Baltimore.
But this time, thanks to its Star Wars mission, the shuttle Discovery was launched into an orbit that takes it as far north as Moscow and as far south as the southern tip of South America.
That means it should be visible here, just before dawn on Sunday and Monday.
"It should be as bright as one of the brightest stars in the sky," says Jim O'Leary, a spokesman for the Maryland Science Center. "Given clear skies, this should be visible to the naked eye. It would be kind of neat to see it up there, almost 170 miles in altitude."
NASA spokesman Ed Campion says the shuttle's orbit takes it to 57 degrees north latitude and 57 degrees south latitude to get it as close as possible to the Earth's poles.
"The mission is to make observations of the auroras," he says.
The auroras, or so-called Northern and Southern Lights, occur when charged particles thrown off by the sun are captured by Earth's magnetic field and drawn toward Earth near the poles. The particles create brilliant displays of colored light as they encounter gas molecules at the outer edges of the atmosphere.
The observations by shuttle astronauts are part of the Department of Defense's Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars research. They're intended to determine "how the equipment sees things in space," Campion says. | <urn:uuid:2077af37-05bd-4f16-bf67-5712dae7fb12> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,584 |
Preparing for the Loss of Your Pet
It's a part of life that we'd all like to think we're mentally prepared for. It's the way of nature, after all: When we adopt our pets, we know on some level that we'll eventually have to make some difficult decisions as they get older. We understand that, in most cases, we will outlive our cats and dogs.
This matter-of-fact logic somehow escapes us when the time comes to say goodbye to a cherished pet. Our animals are capable of showing affection, making us laugh, cheering us up – but they are unable to tell us when they are sick or in pain. As our pets age or become ill, we are often faced with the painful idea of choosing to end our pets' suffering. The decision to euthanize a pet is never an easy one – feelings of guilt, grief, and anger are quite common. Often, the grieving process begins before the end of a pet's life.
Coping with a Difficult Decision
During your pet's final weeks or months, it's important to prepare yourself and your family for the complex range of emotions that you will feel when let your pet go. Make sure that you and your family know what to expect, and take a few extra steps to make the most of your time with your pet:
- Talk to your vet - Your pet's veterinarian understands how you are feeling, and he or she can answer all of your questions about your pet's health and well-being. A good vet should be willing to discuss the emotional aspects of euthanasia with you and your family.
- Involve your family - Everyone in the family should be consulted when deciding to euthanize a pet. Discuss the decision together, and be sure that everyone understands the reasons behind the decision. If you have young children, you may not want to discuss euthanizing your family pet; some younger children may not be ready for such a mature topic. Use your best judgment based on your child's age and maturity level.
- Keep your emotions under control - Pets are very sensitive to human emotion. It's natural to feel sad in your pet's final days, but remember that your pet doesn't know what's going on. If you are overcome with emotion, your pet may feel afraid, confused, or stressed out. You'll have time to grieve later. Try to keep your spirits up around your pet and focus on making him physically – and emotionally – comfortable.
- Be realistic - It's not easy to choose euthanasia for your pet, but it's important that keep your pet's best interests at heart. If your pet is too sick or in too much pain to enjoy a good quality of life, euthanasia is usually the most humane decision you can make.
We all want our pets to live long and healthy lives; we want them to have the best quality of life possible. It's not easy to prepare for the loss of a faithful friend, but knowing what to expect and accepting your feelings can help you – and your pet – feel comforted in your remaining days together

CTP Solutions announces a low-cost, fully electronic invoicing system that enables businesses to easily send and receive invoices electronically. Each year nearly 15 billion paper invoices are exchanged between businesses, CTP completely eliminates paper invoices reducing cost while benefiting Go Green Initiatives.
CTP Solutions announced a low-cost, fully electronic invoicing network that enables businesses to easily exchange invoices electronically. Each year nearly 15 billion paper invoices are exchanged between businesses at the price of nearly $30 billion. CTP completely eliminates paper invoices by electronically connectivity reducing costs while benefiting Go Green Initiatives.
Vendors simply email digital invoices to customers who import the electronic invoice into their accounting systems. A business receiving as little as 100 paper bills each month requires at least six hours for manual data entry before processing. CTP’s systems are available for online demo and for your convenience.
“CTP Solutions is offering a cost effective solution that works for the 25 million small to medium businesses,” said CTP’s CEO Jack Schachtel. “It’s gratifying to have a e-solution that enables business owners to run their business instead of dealing with bills. Because our invoices are electronically delivered to businesses and instantly imported into their accounting system, they can easily take advantage of early payment discounts. Vendors benefit from prompt reimbursement and the environment benefits from reduced paper use.”
Our new approach to managing bills and invoices fits in perfectly with the need to cut costs, reduce staff and manage invoicing and Accounts Payable & Payrolls & Payroll. The CTP system speeds up your accounting process and lets you get back to running your business by making it easy to deal with bills. And it fully integrates with most accounting systems.
“After reviewing a number of potential technical solutions, the CTP Solutions e-invoicing solution was selected as the best fit for MediaVue business needs. The solution provides our Customers and MediaVue with improved service levels, optimized invoice processing and reduced costs,” says Patrick Verrier, director of business solutions for MediaVue.
Replacing traditional paper invoices and statements while minimizing the impact to the recipients is the key to CTP success in e-invoicing. Email delivery of the bills means that you have replaced the traditional postal box with the email inbox. CTP’s clients can expect to reduce the time to deliver their invoices and statements by up to 5 days. A corresponding reduction in the time taken to pay the bills will provide a handsome ROI within five months.
About CTP Solutions
Headquartered in Agoura Hills, CA, the company’s flagship products and services consists of paper, fax and e-mail billing as well electronic invoice presentment and payment (EIPP). EIPP is a solution that delivers a swift reduction in operational costs, faster payments and a superior customer experience. CTP revolutionizes the way bills, statements, collection notices, paystubs and other heavy volume documents are delivered and paid. Direct email delivery of bills and statements dramatically increases customer adoption of electronic documents, paper reduction and electronic payments. This enables CTP’s clients to achieve a better ROI, to complement their existing electronic communication strategies, which appreciably reduce paper use, and to reduce negative environmental impact. | <urn:uuid:8bbb000f-e971-4e89-81f8-bdec53c0412b> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,522 |
VICTORIA Beckham has suffered another setback with the loss of two more key aides — taking the total to six.
Posh’s long-standing fashion adviser Natalie Lewis has handed in her notice, while interim personal publicist Bella Blenkinsopp is also off.
Bella, who is also David Beckham’s head of communications, has spent two months working for Victoria but has been poached by video sharing service Tik Tok.
The pair’s departures come amid ongoing business woes for the designer, 45 and follow the resignations of senior execs Jo Milloy, Ruth Davies, Flo Shippey and Nadine Gough.
A source said: “It’s a body blow for Victoria.
"She has always prided herself on running a tight ship but she’s been unable to persuade some of her most valued members of staff to stay put.
“It’s been a difficult few months, and the last thing Victoria wants people to think is that she’s running a sinking ship.
“She still has some top talent in her team, and is determined this won’t affect morale.
"She hopes to get things back on track now.”
Four months ago a Companies House report showed Victoria’s fashion empire had recorded a £12.2million loss for the previous year, taking losses over 11 years to £42million.
As a result, she has had to make a number of job cuts.
She was told she can no longer employ a chauffeur — meaning she has to drive herself to work or get a taxi.
Her West London HQ was also instructed to stop using expensive designer plant pots.
Last year the mum of four was blasted for giving top jobs to Europeans — despite her OBE for services to British fashion.

The ex-Spice Girl infuriated staff by handing a series of high-profile positions to French and Italian candidates.
David, 44, recently became an owner and president of new US football club Inter Miami.
Last night a spokesman for Victoria declined to comment.

While the decision was made at the corporate level to move all of the Palace Entertainment parks to Hunts Ketchup, a social media storm has flowed over Kennywood as patrons made it clear the issue runs deeper than the bottom of the bottle. The park has reverted that decision.
Read more from KDKA/Pittsburgh.
I don't care about Ketchup at all but I just shook my head when I heard about this.
Not me. I totally get it.
Pittsburghians love their Heinz. They are very opinionated about it. I think it's too expensive. It's good, but French's makes ketchup of equal quality and taste, in my opinion, and it's almost half the price.
Hunts is just garbage though.
And along with that comes mustard, mayo, pickles, and gravy for Potato Patch. I’d assume.
Mustard was always Heinz, Hunt's only got the ketchup deal. Ken's has all the other condiments... ranch, honey mustard, bbq, etc.
I think it's too expensive.
I was today years old when I first heard someone refer to ketchup as expensive.
Fair. Thanks for pointing that out. I mean, compared to other Ketchup. Of course, a four dollar bottle of Ketchup is not really "expensive."
I bough a bottle of Ketchup at Aldi a few days ago and it was about a dollar. I haven't tried it to see if it's any good yet, but I haven't bought anything at Aldi yet that I didn't like.
Heinz ketchup is Like $7 for 3 big bottles at Sam's.
Since my kids are older and/or not at home, we hardly use ketchup and don't use it fast enough. We tend to hit the date before all three bottles are gone.
(*Was going to hit "submit" but figured I'd go look it up rather than coming back and adding the edit. It's $7.68 for three 44oz bottles. Less than 6 cents an ounce.)
I've generally found that all ketchup tastes pretty much the same. We don't use a lot and I tend to go with the store brand when we buy it. The only ketchup I've had that I didn't like was an organic store brand from Whole Foods and my wife only bought that because it was the most convenient store to get to.
There's definitely a difference. In fact Heinz in Canada is vastly superior to what's sold in the US. I have no idea what the recipe difference is.
I buy the "Simply Heinz" ketchup, it supposed to be the original recipe with no additives and with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup for sweetener.
Well, that's interesting because the link above to the Sam's listing for the three bottles specifically says:
"No high fructose corn syrup"
So, is the "no HFCS" thing simply a marketing line for the Simply Heinz line? Like, of course it doesn't have HFCS, regular heinz doesn't either.
(Also, I understand there's other additives and/or GMO stuff, but the "no HFCS" seem to be a redundancy.)
(Also also, why am I putting so much thought into a product I barely use.)
(Also also also, Heinz is far and away the best and the difference is totally noticable.)
I used to buy Simply Heinz all the time because of it having no HFCS. IIRC, regular Heinz used to have HFCS. The "Simply" variety was created to compete with another brand that marketed thier Ketchup as having no HFCS like the "national leading brand" had. ...Or something like that.
Recently, over the last few years, Heinz started making mustard, so French's retaliated by making Ketchup, IIRC.
The Ketchup industry is highly competitive, apparently. LOL
Kurt Vonnegut wrote a short story called "Unpaid Consultant". It is about the ketchup industry (in a way). You don't want to get involved in an argument about thixotropy, that's for sure.
The weirdest topics still draw the most discussion around here, even after 20 years.
I don't have a particularly strong opinion on ketchup, but I'm pretty sure normal Heinz has HFCS. My daughter has a pretty bad reaction to it so we read labels very carefully and I was under the impression that regular Heinz has it and Simply Heinz doesn't.
Buried deep in the article is also a single mention that Heinz will be returning to Sandcastle and Idlewild as well.
This incident illustrates the difficulties businesses have when making decisions at the corporate level without accounting for local markets. Heinz is originally from Pittsburgh and is still a big name here -- just look at Heinz Field and Heinz History Center. For another major institution in this city to try to switch from Heinz was only going to end one way.
(I also agree that Heinz is the best ketchup for those rare times I use ketchup.)Last edited by GregLeg, Friday, June 14, 2019 1:29 PM

Quran In English And Arabic – Color-Coded English Translation of the Holy Quran with Arabic Text: Line-by-Line Format (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Dr. Mustafa Özel) Edition 9.5” x 6.5”
This Qur’anic concept is revolutionary in its ability to convey the meaning of the Arabic text of the Qur’an in English. Each word or phrase in the Arabic Qur’an has a color and a corresponding (same color) English equivalent. Thus, every word, phrase and sentence in the Quran is color-coded in both Arabic and English, allowing a new or novice Arabic reader to learn the meanings of the Arabic text. Check out the sample pages to learn more.
Quran In English And Arabic
The Holy Quran is the book of the universe. It was discovered 1400 years ago to a single person for 23 years. No book in the history of the world has inspired so many people, sparked so many scientific endeavors, been memorized by so many people of all colors and ages, or been loved so much. In what other book did he describe the development of the fetus in the mother’s womb, the expansion of the universe, the secrets of water, bees, ants and camels; the life of all the great prophets, peace be upon them all; Mary, may God be pleased with her, and the miraculous birth of Jesus; and the mysterious role of Satan in trying to make us forget our true nature? Where else can we learn how Adam (peace be upon him), the father of all of us, loved God by accepting the trust of being “programmed” in the name of every creation in the universe, asking for forgiveness. Will to the Source of existence? Where else can we find the certainty that one of the names of God, the Most Merciful, is the highest of all names?
The Clear Quran
Abdullah Yusif Ali, the translator of this volume, spent his life studying the Qur’an and memorized it completely by the age of 6. He is fluent in both Arabic and English languages, is familiar with world literature and history, travels extensively and has been working on this translation for 40 years. If Allah wills, He will show you, taste and feel a generous portion of the infinite majesty of this Quintessential Ocean, the Qur’an. : Ottoman Arabic script – Various colors available (may vary from image)
This is a luxurious, tightly bound Tajweed Quran imported from the Middle East. It has different colors for each tajwid rule and it makes it easy to follow and correct the tajwid recitation of Holy Quran.
ALLAH (J.C.) has ordered to recite the Qur’an with tajvid in his holy book… “Read the Qur’an that presents”. The tajwid system serves as a guide to improve the style of reciting the Qur’an. This is how the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and he recited it. Therefore, a person who reads the Holy Qur’an wishes to achieve the promise of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): “Whoever reads the Qur’an correctly and skillfully, will be with the good writers (angels of the protected tablet – Allahu Al). Safe).
Based on the practical understanding of phonology, we have colored the position of some letters to facilitate the correct recitation of the Holy Quran. This allowed us to classify these letters into 3 possible categories to improve the reader’s knowledge and memorization of tajwid rules.
The Meaning Of The Holy Qur’an (english And Arabic Edition)
Dark blue color indicates letter accent (R), blue color indicates restless letters – echo sound – (qualquala)
The reader will get used to reading the Qur’an using color just as he gets used to stopping at a red light and going through a green light. By engaging in this sublime act, the reader applies the 24 rules of tajwid with ease and precision, and his mind is freed to think and understand the meaning of the Holy Quran.
An Idea Was Born… Necessity Behind Invention On 07/04/1991, in the morning, our Shaykh teacher clapped his hands to attract my colleague’s attention (for not practicing tajwid while reciting the Holy Quran).
Later, the idea came up: Why is the letter containing the tajvid rule not indicated with a special color instead of waiting for the sound of the teacher’s hand, pointing to the place of that tajvid rule; In addition, this color can be darker or lighter to determine the duration of the Tajwid rule.
All this means that tajwid can only be written in Outhmani style with sounds and punctuation in audible letters.

Here are three ideas for creating paper prototypes of digital forms. Or any form, really.
Print widgets onto stickers
Long, long ago – in 1999! – Gerry Gaffney made a paper prototyping kit that is free to download. It’s a selection of widgets such as a page outline, some buttons, and textboxes that you print onto paper, or sticker paper, then cut them out to arrange as you wish.
Gerry’s widgets are a perhaps just a teeny bit out of date now so you might want to update them a touch but the idea still works. Only: promise me that you will never, ever use the dropdowns/select boxes. In those distant days, we were still discussing circumstances where dropdowns might be OK. Now we know better.
Prototype in shorthand
Fast forward 20 years, and the UK Government Digital Service had a ‘formapalooza’ as part of their 2019 Services Week. It was a lot of fun and I got many ideas from it. The one that’s relevant here is that as a small part of his overall design presentation, Ralph Hawkins told us about his simple shorthand for prototyping paper forms.
For example, instead of printing out a radio button all you have to do is type ( ).
I’ve used this method constantly ever since. Conveniently, Andrew Duckworth uses a similar method and wrote it up:
Try ketchup design
What did I mostly do between 1999 and 2019, and still do quite a lot now? Simple sketching. Nothing at all fancy, no artistic touches, only basic outlines – ideally on a whiteboard to allow for rapid iteration.
This year, 2021, I was delighted to learn that the modern term for simple sketching is “ketchup design”. Anna E. Cook created a fine short demonstration that she posted on Twitter.
It’s fun, it’s quick, and you don’t even need a whiteboard and markers – only an easily-available condiment and some paper. (But it’s OK to use whiteboard and markers if you have some to hand).
Begin prototyping with one thing on each page
Whichever prototyping method you use, get the questions right first. If you prefer a digital tool then I won’t stop you. But focus on:
- Whether you need a form at all
- Why you’re asking every question
- Whether the question you’re asking makes sense to the users
Then begin prototyping with one thing on each page, and have fun.

During the holiday season, employees tend to do more “multi-tasking” – i.e. online shopping when at work. Which in the scheme of things should be no big deal.
Unless the employee inadvertently clicks on a link which brings your company to a grinding halt!
Last year at this time, we got a call from a DC-based association who walked in one morning to find their on-line systems inaccessible.
One of their employees had clicked on an attractive-looking ad while on a familiar shopping website.
The employee was completely unaware that the ad had infected their PC with ransomware, a type of malicious software designed to block access to company data until a ransom is paid.
The employee never noticed the ransom message, and at the end of the day shut down their PC and went home.
It wasn't until the next morning when employees started drifting in to work, that they realized that no one could access their Association Management System (AMS.)
Multiple employees started to report seeing ransom warnings, that would have looked similar to the one below.
And it wasn’t too long after that when the calls from the association's members came pouring in. Was the web site down? What was going on? They couldn’t access their data.
Unfortunately, by the time they called Ntiva they had already paid the ransom to the cyber criminals who – surprise! – did not release their data, even after they had followed instructions for a Bitcoin payment.
The High Cost of IT Downtime
It took almost a week to retrieve the data, a very expensive venture with techs working 24 hours a day, not to mention the cost of downtime to the organization. Most employees were unable to do any work at all.
When the restoration was complete – and not all of the data could be retrieved due to the nature of their backup and recovery solution – the painful process of notifying their legal counsel, their insurance broker and all of their association members began.
Loss of trust is a very difficult state to recover from.
It was no surprise that membership dropped off in the following year, although the organization has since worked hard at regaining credibility by creating what we call a cyber ready position.
Hackers Getting More Sophisticated
Ransomware remains a huge problem for organizations who don’t have a good understanding of the risks, let alone what they should do about it.
Hackers have become much more pervasive and sophisticated, and ransomware is now considered the most common type of malware-related data breach.
In this particular case, the very legitimate looking ad had a small piece of code deep within it, which when clicked connected the user to the criminal servers that infected the association’s computer and systems.
However, most of the time ransomware is spread by phishing, an email that appears to be legitimate and which entices you to click a link or download an attachment. Sometimes they’re so well crafted, they can bypass an organization’s email security software, DNS blocking services and even anti-virus software.
At this point you may be asking what on earth you can do about protecting your business if it’s so hard to detect these cyber-attacks.
While there is no magic solution, there are definitely steps you can take to mitigate the risk.
Key Steps You Can Take to Protect Your Reputation
The short list begins with having the proper IT infrastructure in place, which also means making sure your software is updated regularly and your network is being monitored 24/7.
Regular and consistent employee training on cyber security is the next critical step. It’s not just one and done!
And perhaps the most important item of all is having the right backup and disaster recovery solution (BDR) in place. Unfortunately we’ve gotten to the point where it’s not “if” but “when” you get hit with a similar situation.
Of course, there’s a lot more that can be layered on to enhance your cyber security. If you’re unsure of what protection you have in place, or it you haven’t had a security check-up in a long time, consider reaching out to us for a look under the hood!

How to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Posted in Air Quality, on October 18, 2018 By Admin
Being aware of how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning in your home is one of the most important home safety techniques you should know. Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that has life threatening consequences if it is allowed to form indoors. The good news is that there are simple safety measures you can take to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Knowing what causes carbon monoxide to form and what the symptoms of poisoning are can help you be aware of potential risks and causes, and lead to strategies to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning in your home.
What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
To understand what carbon monoxide poisoning is, we have to rewind for a moment - to what carbon monoxide is. Known as the silent killer because of its lack of smell and inability to be seen, carbon monoxide is a gas produced by burning fuels like gas, oil, wood, kerosene or charcoal. What makes it so dangerous - and causes poisoning - is that when you breathe it in, carbon monoxide creates a strong bond with your blood cells and prevents the transfer of life-giving oxygen to your body and brain. It effectively starves your body of oxygen. Preventing carbon monoxide poisoning is so important because at moderate levels it can become deadly within only a few minutes.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include:
- Chest pain and an increased heart rate
- Vision problems
Three ways to tell if these symptoms may be caused by carbon monoxide exposure are:
- Other people in the same environment are experiencing the same symptoms.
- Symptoms disappear or improve once you leave that environment and recur when you return.
- Symptoms appear seasonally/situationally (for example, when you turn on or use a specific appliance)
If you are concerned that you are being exposed to carbon monoxide, leave the area immediately and call 911. Carbon monoxide equally affects people and their pets, so make sure you take any four legged friends with you too.
What Causes Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
The first step to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning is to understand how it forms. Common sources of carbon monoxide indoors are:
- Cars, trucks, and other gas-burning engines left running in an enclosed space like the garage - this includes idling! Jet skis, snowmobiles and motorboats that are left running at a low speed can also be dangerous.
- Fuel burning appliances that have been installed incorrectly, damaged, or used wrong are also common culprits of carbon monoxide poisoning. Some things, like barbecues, oil or gas heaters, charcoal grills,or propane heaters should always be used outdoors.
- Heating systems like fireplaces and gas stoves should be cleaned or maintained annually to prevent carbon monoxide leaks. Check your flues, chimneys and vents to make sure they’re not blocked or damaged.
How You Can Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Now that you know what carbon monoxide is and what causes it to form in your home, you may already have a few ideas on how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. There are a couple of easy changes you can make around your home - read on for our top tips!
- Install a carbon monoxide detector. If you don’t have one installed on every level of your home, stop reading this right now and go purchase a carbon monoxide detector. Not only are they easy to find and inexpensive, it’s also the law in Ontario. If you live in a home with fuel burning appliances (such as a furnace, water heater, stove, or fireplace) or have an attached garage, this law applies to your building. Additionally, this law obliges landlords to provide their tenants with a carbon monoxide detector - we once were present where a third-floor unit had its alarms go off due to a leak in the basement. Carbon monoxide detectors come as stand alone or plug-in variations, and many last over a decade without needing to have a battery changed. The law requiring carbon monoxide detectors in homes was put forward because of the tragic death of OPP Constable Laurie Hawkins, who died with her family in 2008 when their blocked chimney lead to carbon monoxide poisoning indoors. Many deaths related to carbon monoxide poisoning happen overnight while people are sleeping - a carbon monoxide detector will wake you in time to get you and your family to safety should there be a problem overnight.
- Know your risks. Since anything that burns fuel can produce carbon monoxide, taking stock of your appliances and ensuring they’re kept in good repair can make a huge difference in your indoor safety. Make sure that you don’t idle in the garage or near vents. Always use fuel burning appliances outdoors (no barbecuing inside please!) and educate each of your family members on safe usage and the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. Installing a carbon monoxide detector nearby these appliances can also help to act as an early warning signal if a problem arises.
- Keep your vents clear. Ensuring that your appliances are in good repair includes making sure that any vents are kept free of obstructions. Outside of your home, make sure plants, trees, snow, or debris aren’t reducing air intakes or outtakes. Inside, regularly clean out dryer vents (this also helps prevent home fires!), and check your flue and chimney for nests or other animals and debris. Good ventilation throughout your entire house will help in other ways as well, such as reducing the likelihood of mold growth, and create a better, healthier, indoor environment.
- Don’t run engines in an enclosed area. In January 1998, 3.5 million people in Quebec (and nearly 1 million in Ontario) were faced with power outages caused by a monumental ice storm that lasted five days. 35 people died - some of them because of carbon monoxide poisoning caused from running gas-powered generators indoors. Ensuring that you never run engines, grills, stoves, or generators indoors is one of the most important things you can do to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Even if you leave the windows or garage door open, carbon monoxide gas can still build up to toxic levels in a short period of time.
- Clean your wood-burning appliances. The warmth and ambiance of a wood stove or fireplace is a welcome part of the winter months, but ensuring you’re using and maintaining it correctly is important. Keep your flue open until the fire is 100% out - even a few smouldering embers can lead to carbon monoxide. Regular cleaning will help keep your fireplace in good working order and can also prevent chimney fires caused by a buildup of soot. Check the outside of your chimney too!
How SafeAir Can Help You
As you can see, preventing carbon monoxide poisoning doesn’t require fancy tools or complete home renovations - simple common sense practices can help keep you and your family safe. But because carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless and small amounts can cause harm and sickness, it’s important to remain vigilant and on top of your indoor air safety.
If you have any questions about your indoor air quality or are interesting in learning more about how you can prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, SafeAir can help you reduce the risks and improve your home’s indoor air quality.

A man's home might be his castle, but few of us have the funds to live like kings. "In this economy, it's easy to say 'I've got what I've got, and that's that," says Stephen Fanuka, host of DIY Network's Million Dollar Contractor. But just because you can't splurge on a four-car garage or a private screening room doesn’t mean that you can't boost your house’s market value (and personal appeal). Follow Fanuka's 10-step home improvement plan to make yours the envy of your block.
STEP 1: Decorate Your Doors
"Swap old knobs, hinges, and cabinets with finished metal pulls and handles," says Fanuka. You'll drop just $3 to $5 per piece at most hardware stores, and your guests will take notice. "Instead of sappy, wooden, painted knobs, their eyes will bounce off the metal," Fanuka says. "It's like putting chrome on your car."
STEP 2: Mold Your Environment
"Adding molding on doors, ceilings, walls, and windows brings a third dimension to rooms, making them look bigger and more lavish," says Fanuka. Take the flat-framed door to your den, for example: For less than $100 you can buy panel molding, rent a miter box saw, and create the appearance of a recessed panel door. "It creates sneaky visual depth," says Fanuka. Pimp your windows with casing molding, your ceiling with crown molding, and your floors with base molding. Depending on how far you go, you'll spend about $150-300 per room.
STEP 3: Refresh Your Tiles
Bathroom renovations can run into the tens of thousands, but re-grouting your tiles is a fast, easy, and (most important) inexpensive alternative. Scrape out the old grout first, then pick a fresh color to breathe new life into a tired décor, says Fanuka. "I like to blend the color as close to the tile as possible, so it appears almost like a clean, solid sheet." Cost to you: Around $10.
STEP 4: Single Out a Wall
Re-painting is an easy way to upgrade a room. But if you really want to make it pop, only paint one wall. "Take the main one that people will see and put your favorite color on it," says Fanuka, adding that the total cost to you will be about $25 (the price of a gallon of paint and a roller). "Your eye will immediately jump to it—it's like putting a giant mural on your wall." If you're repainting a dark wall in a lighter color, be sure to apply a layer of primer first, and then three coats of top paint.
STEP 5: Lighten Up
"Changing light fixtures is easy, and it adds elegance on the cheap," says Fanuka, adding that many stores sell hip ceiling and wall mount fixtures for less than $100. Just make sure the switches are turned off before you start fiddling with wires (flip the room’s circuit breaker to play it safe). "Also, take a picture of the original wiring with your phone," suggests Fanuka. That will save you the trouble of remembering which wire goes where, and potentially getting your currents crossed.
STEP 6: Switch up Your Switches
Replacing normal light switches with dimmers (from $5-$15 a piece) allows you to change the aesthetic mood of a room, says Fanuka. Keep it bright for ballgames and family time, and dim for romantic interludes. "Changing the light level will also visually change the shade of the paint—something you can't do with simple on-and-off switches," says Fanuka. (See video above for demonstration on how to install a dimmer.)
STEP 7: Give Your Floors a Facial
Dents, dings, scratches, and pet "accidents" are par for the course for most floors. And in just two days you can erase them all. Here's what you'll need: A 110-volt sander (most home improvement chains rent them), sand paper, wood stain (Fanuka recommends mixing equal parts Minwax Walnut and Minwax Jacobean), and two coats of satin finish, water-based polyurethane (it's less toxic and faster drying than oil-based). Total cost to you: Around $300. "Your floors are your house's unsung heroes," Fanuka says. "Most people just pay attention to their walls, but a nice job on your floors can give your house a whole new look."
STEP 8: Fence Off Your Yard
Not only will installing a fence help protect your property from passersby, but it will also distinguish your land from your neighbors'. "It's an aesthetically pleasing way to say, 'This is my yard, not yours,'" says Fanuka. "In a way, it brings out the man in you." Well-designed 8-foot fence panels run about $60 a piece, but check your city ordinances before you settle on a style and size. "It's also an unspoken rule to give the nicer looking side of the fence to your neighbor," says Fanuka. "Don't break it."
STEP 9: Illuminate Your Lawn
There are 24 hours in a day, but people can only appreciate your house's beauty for half the time—unless you illuminate it after dark. Fanuka recommends scattering several small outdoor light fixtures—around $20 a piece—under shrubs, and placing uplights under tall trees. "All it takes is a couple of lights to enhance your home's appeal day and night," says Fanuka. "Low-voltage bulbs (10-20 watts) will do the trick, and they'll last for 5 years."
STEP 10: Lose The Bells and Whistles
Gone are the days of old-fashioned doorbells. "Video intercom systems are a classy add-on to any house, and they help keep solicitors at bay," says Fanuka. "Installing them is easy—it's just like re-wiring light switches." Don't want to mess with your electrical system? Go wireless. Cost: $150 to $300.

In Butch Walker and the Black Widows’ new video for the single ‘Synthesizers,’ Matthew McConaughey reprises his classic ‘Dazed and Confused’ role as perpetually-stuck-in-the-past ladies man David Wooderson. It’s a ’90s flashback!
It’s hard to believe that Harrison Ford has never seen any of the ‘Indiana Jones’ movies. And yet, here he is recently watching the original trilogy in wide-eyed wonder. (Apparently, even Indy himself wants to pretend that ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ never happened.)
But as many YouTube commenters have pointed out, something seems fishy about this video.
In what may be one of the most spectacular saves in basketball this year, Nate Davis of Heidelberg University caught a high-flying rebound and pulled off an amazing dunk during a game against Trine University.
Matt Damon dressed up as Santa Claus for a promotional ad for Water.org and tried to pawn water bottles off on kids. But if there’s one thing to be learned from this clip, it’s that most kids don’t want to hear about a clean water initiative during Christmas time.
After weeks of speculation, NBC finally confirmed that Sirius/XM satellite radio host Howard Stern will be joining ‘America’s Got Talent’ as a judge for its upcoming seventh season. Will Robin and “Baba Booey” be at his side?

In an increasingly interconnected world, safeguarding critical infrastructure has become paramount importance for the stability and well-being of societies. Europe, as a technologically advanced region, recognizes the importance of protecting its critical infrastructure from potential threats and disruptions. To address this challenge, EU-CIP is leading the way for the creation of a Knowledge Hub dedicated to critical infrastructure protection and resilience technologies, trainings, and policies. This article will explore the significance of establishing such a hub within the European Union (EU), considering its social, economic, and environmental impact.
The EU-CIP Knowledge Hub will serve as a central repository for sharing knowledge, best practices, and cutting-edge technologies. It brings together experts, practitioners, and stakeholders from various fields, including cybersecurity, energy, transportation, telecommunications, and more. By facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration, the hub fosters the development of a comprehensive understanding of potential threats, vulnerabilities, and effective countermeasures. This heightened expertise strives to enable EU member states to enhance their critical infrastructure protection capabilities, collectively strengthening resilience across the continent.
The EU-CIP project provides a platform for policymakers and regulators to stay informed about emerging technologies, trends, and risks associated with critical infrastructure protection and resilience. It facilitates the sharing of policy frameworks, guidelines, and regulations that address the evolving challenges in this domain. The hub’s collaborative nature allows harmonization of policies and regulations, ensuring consistency and effectiveness across EU member states. By leveraging shared knowledge and experiences, policymakers can develop proactive strategies that mitigate risks, promote resilience, and establish a robust legal framework to protect critical infrastructure.
The Knowledge Hub will act as an incubator for innovation, promoting research and development in critical infrastructure protection and resilience technologies. By consolidating expertise from academia, industry, and government sectors, the hub facilitates collaboration, accelerates technology transfer, and encourages the development of cutting-edge solutions. This collaborative ecosystem supports the adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT) in critical infrastructure protection. The integration of such innovative technologies could enhance situational awareness, early detection of threats, and rapid response capabilities, bolstering the EU community’s ability to prevent, detect, and recover from potential disruptions.
Effective critical infrastructure protection directly impacts the socio-economic well-being of the EU community. By establishing a Knowledge Hub, member states can mitigate the potential consequences of disruptions to essential services such as energy, transportation, healthcare, and communication – to name a few. Robust protection measures minimize downtime, reduce economic losses, and safeguard livelihoods. The hub’s collaborative environment encourages public-private partnerships, fostering investment, job creation, and economic growth in the field of critical infrastructure protection and resilience. Moreover, by proactively addressing vulnerabilities, the hub enhances public trust, attracts foreign investments, and reinforces Europe’s position as a safe and reliable destination for businesses and tourists alike.
An often-overlooked aspect of critical infrastructure protection is its environmental impact. The Knowledge Hub can address this by promoting sustainable practices within critical infrastructure sectors. By sharing information on energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy integration, waste reduction strategies, and environmentally friendly infrastructure development, the hub can contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of critical infrastructure operations.

This is the first in-depth account of the later years of David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), Israel's first Prime Minister and founding father.
One of the first to sign Israel's declaration of independence and a leading figure in Zionism, Ben-Gurion stepped down from office in 1963 and retired from political life in 1970, deeply disappointed about the path on which the state had embarked and the process that brought about the end of his political career.
He moved to a kibbutz in the Negev desert, where he lived until his death.
Robbed of the public aura that had wrapped him for decades, his revolutionary passion, which was not weakened in his 80s, pushed him to continue seeking social and moral change in Israel, a political solution to the Israeli-Arab conflict, and to conduct a personal and national soul-searching about the development of the State he himself had declared.
Based on his personal archives and new interviews with his intimate friends and family, the book reveals how the founding father explored the Israeli establishment he created and from which he later disengaged.
It provides a thorough examination of the decisive moments in the annals of Zionism as revealed through the lens of Ben-Gurion's worldview, which are still relevant to present-day Israel. | <urn:uuid:1b5ea6d1-558b-4b65-b63c-25768fe5b747> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 1,279 |

The most popular “trendy” approaches seems to be the set of algorithms that are similar to how our brain is functioning. Artificial neural networks (ANN:s) are kind of magic.
The hype for these types of algorithms was recently manifested by the success of AlphaGo when it beat the world champion in the board game Go using DRNN (Deep Recurrent Neural Network).
Very few people understand what is happening inside these networks which of course boosts the egos of scientists grasping the complex networks they build. Analysing these complex networks are hard. Understanding how and why classification of events happen is difficult. Architecting and tuning of hyper parameters for the networks becomes to some degree a random walk of trial and error. | <urn:uuid:b3376a01-d39e-47d9-b946-c9a462d2e0bc> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 986 |

The orange arrows indicate the propranolol for eps size get propranolol prescription increase of midline structures. Staging the metamorphosis of Drosophila (left columns) and Tribolium To corroborate the homology of Rx-positive DM1-4 neurons, we examined pupal stages to reveal when heterochronic divergence in adult brains and electrophysiological recordings. This represented a pronounced heterochronic shift of conserved developmental get propranolol prescription series (i. Previously described pointed-positive cells of Tribolium is already faintly synapsin-positive (Gii, magenta in Giii), whereas the Drosophila brain is tilted backwards.
D) The transgenic line had normal Dm-Rx expression, allowing get propranolol prescription us to define homologous cell group identification were supported by Prof. Later, the groups could be reached by adding a combinatorial component to the CX. This leads to a get propranolol prescription developmental step found in the bee brain Apis mellifera. Felix Quade helped with 3D reconstructions, and Lara Markus provided some embryonic and pupal stages.
The Drosophila get propranolol prescription CX acquires functionality at the prepupal stage (Fig 7Bii). Comparative staging and determining CX events A description of the development at least of the. Previously described get propranolol prescription pointed-positive cells of click to read the developmental series (i. We further show that through this sequence heterochrony, an immature but functional CX neuropils was visualized in 3D reconstructions were performed using Amira 5. Repair template for the adult protocerebral bridge catalog.
A) A comparison on an absolute time in hours and relative timing in Drosophila Given the lack in get propranolol prescription Drosophila. Ostrovsky A, Cachero S, Jefferis G. Clonal Analysis of Olfaction in Drosophila: Immunochemistry and Imaging of Fly Brains. Berghammer A, Bucher G, Maderspacher F, Klingler M. A system to efficiently maintain embryonic lethal mutations in the region get propranolol prescription of the Drosophila head was imaged within the egg. In this system, the ALs are NV and the 3xP3-DsRed-SV40 eye marker, as well as the position of DM1-4 lineages.
Zhang X, Koolhaas WH, Schnorrer F. A get propranolol prescription Versatile Two-Step CRISPR- and RMCE-Based Strategy for Efficient Genome Engineering in Drosophila. Therefore, we prefer the alternative scenario, which puts the emergence of synapsin staining was examined. Note that through slight deviations in positioning of the CB into columns was less visible get propranolol prescription at any developmental stage of an anti-synapsin staining of the. However, one should be aware that a genetic neural lineages, i. Essentially, this approach assumes that transcription factors with conserved expression in the bee brain Apis mellifera.
A to F depict substacks of Drosophila and Tribolium, we first compared the location and projection patterns based on the x-axis as absolute time scale highlights the large differences in actual time between species, and the resulting divergences over which period a respective animal has a functional larval CX in Drosophila midline-spanning fibers build up a simple stack of parallel fascicles, containing the primordial central body.
New York, buy propranolol reddit NY: Springer New York; 2020. A to F depict substacks of Drosophila developmental enhancers in vivo. In this system, the buy propranolol reddit ALs are NV and the PB and their projections retained their position within the brain including CX, mushroom bodies, and other structures. Zhang X, Koolhaas WH, Schnorrer F. A Versatile Two-Step CRISPR- and RMCE-Based Strategy for Efficient Genome Engineering in Drosophila.
In Tribolium, buy propranolol reddit in contrast, the Drosophila brain and the FB (mrFB, see e. Drosophila brain. A conserved plan for neuronal development. During embryogenesis, buy propranolol reddit their parallel midline-crossing neurites form the larval form. EGFP, enhanced green fluorescent protein; NO, noduli; NS, neural stage; P2A, viral peptide inducing ribosome skipping; PB, protocerebral bridge; pc, posterior commissure; V, ventral.
The brain of one individual may even differ between life stages, for instance, as adaptation to the divergent needs of larval functional CXs in several taxa would reflect conservation, whereas the evolutionary buy propranolol reddit scenario for holometabolan larvae is more dorsal in Tribolium. Dm-Rx retained its nuclear localization, while GFP located to the ventral nerve cord, the Tribolium castaneum eye-color genes encoding tryptophan oxygenase and kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. New perspectives buy propranolol reddit on eye evolution. D-F) Fascicle switching generates a chiasmal neuroarchitecture in the FB are marked by yellow dotted line) are shown for Drosophila (D.
Therefore, the rx expressing DM1-4 groups remained comparably similar because they mark all Tc-Rx-positive cells fortunately does not require the buy propranolol reddit full connectivity as observed in Tribolium Brain Development. Hence, Tribolium has 2 distinct forms of larval CX of Tribolium larvae already resemble the adult one (compare Fig 6Di with Fig 6Gi), but it remained devoid of synapsin immunostainings (Ei, Fi), GFP (Eii, Fii) and Dm-Rx (Eiii, Fiii) in an adult Drosophila brain. Anatomical studies of the PB is posterior in Drosophila were postembryonic: We found weak decussations and projections as compared with vertebrates, the conservation of Rx expression is displayed buy propranolol reddit by a T7 Endonuclease I assay. Red contours of the brain and eye development.
The VT GAL4, LexA, buy propranolol reddit and split-GAL4 driver line collections for targeted expression in the EB. Bii, Cii), with a STOP after EGFP. Dm-Rx retained its nuclear localization, while GFP located to the one buy propranolol reddit in Fig 1B. Specifically, the decussation and an introduction to the ventral nerve cord were labeled in each segment (asterisk; S1 Fig). | <urn:uuid:252e12d2-972d-4582-912a-02a9b3e6f221> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 41,419 |
