When the world tells you to shrink, expand.
After years of trying to earn a seat at the table to finding herself at the head of the table as Condé Nast’s second Black Editor-In-Chief (EIC) and the youngest EIC of Teen Vogue, Elaine Welteroth is now building her own table.
Since leaving her position as the Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue, Welteroth is taking on new opportunities and paving her own way in the media industry. Currently, she’s one of the three judges on Project Runway and is the author of the memoir, More Than Enough.
Often the only Black woman in the room (and the youngest), Welteroth unpacks lessons on race and identity through her own journey and drops gems on how her experiences have influenced her success.
Her Agenda: Looking at your life, how has your upbringing influenced where you are now?
Elaine Welteroth: I grew up in a household with parents who were very free-spirited and open-minded in terms of how they raised us. That kind of upbringing gave me the space to really figure out who I am and what my passions were. At the time I always wanted more guidance, more direction, but I now really appreciate the way I was raised.
Being raised in a predominantly white neighborhood as one of the few brown bodies in any given space made me feel what it is to be ‘other’ really early in my life. The very first memory in my life was being in a preschool classroom surrounded by white classmates and having to do this assignment where we flipped through magazines and were told to make a collage of our family with magazines that were put in front of us. I flipped through them and couldn’t find myself or my family in those pages. I write about this in my book, it’s called White Paper Family, and I talk about how I reacted to that first feeling of being ‘other’ and it was total denial.
I decided to make a collage with a white family like everybody else. I just wanted to blend in and be like every other kid. I didn’t want to be different. I didn’t want to be other. I wanted to feel like I belonged like all my friends. So I made this collage with all White people and I came home and showed my mom, who is a Black woman, and she wasn’t having any of that. She made me and my brother sit down at the dining room table and redo the assignment. She pulled out Ebony and Essence magazines and made us confront who we are. She made me put this new rendering of my family with a Black mother, two brown kids, and a white dad on my wall so that every morning and every night that’s what I saw to reinforce my identity as a Black woman and the pride that I should feel, as well as the ownership.
My mom really enforced the beauty in Afrocentricity, and down the line when I started my career, all of these formative experiences in my childhood really impacted the kind of editor I would one day become.
Her Agenda: How did your education influence where you are now?
Elaine Welteroth: I talk in the book how I ended up at the college that I went to, which was not my dream school. I think it was a very formative experience. Going off the road and going away from your dreams early on, being distracted by love, and being pulled away from what I thought was my path early on sometimes felt like a mistake, but looking back I’m grateful for that detour.
This experience did two things; it introduced me to the reality that I am in the driver seat of my own life and I should never hand over the wheel to anyone else. Next, it helped me recognize that you can always make the best out of any situation.
I am in the driver seat of my own life and I should never hand over the wheel to anyone else.
Ultimately, I got to where I was trying to go, and possibly even faster, because of the pressure on my back of wanting to right this wrong of going to the wrong school for the wrong reasons. It left me with a chip on my shoulder to go ten times harder and move ten times faster. I graduated early and with internships under my belt that helped me figure out quickly what I really wanted out of my career, and [it gave me] real focus that I don’t know if I would’ve had if I had gone to the school of my dreams. Sometimes the detours are apart of the dream.
Her Agenda: Your new book inspires us to live with purpose and confidence, despite one’s past and the stigmas that can hold one back. What personal experience inspired you to write this book?
Elaine Welteroth: There are certain things you do in life because you have to. This book had to happen, it wasn’t a choice, and it was writing itself.
I felt like I worked for ten years of my career trying to get a seat at the table. By 29 I found myself at the head of the table. Now I want to build my own tables, and this is my first table. My book is my offering to my community and I’m so excited to invite my people to my table to break bread, to have conversations that we are not having enough, to share tools, share lessons, and that’s what this is all about. To me, there is an urgency to that, and we are watching each other’s success stories play out on the internet but we are not getting the full story. We are not sharing the universal wisdom that we are picking up along the way. I hope that this book cracks open conversations that women aren’t having enough with each other. I hope it inspires other women to write and tell their own stories.
There are certain things you do in life because you have to. This book had to happen, it wasn’t a choice, and it was writing itself.
Her Agenda: For many women, confusion, frustration, and heartache of not feeling fulfilled tend to creep up in our mid-20s. How can others identify and embrace those moments that enable us to live in our purpose?
Elaine Welteroth: Those moments of uncertainty are necessary for us to confront the truth. If life were easy, we would never be challenged to grow. Everyone goes through those times of uncertainty where the answers are not clear, but it’s fighting through those moments that build character and self-belief. It helps us hear that voice to discern our voice from fear, and it’s almost like a necessary part of the process. I wish it weren’t, but it is, so we might as well embrace it.
Growing up, I felt like I had figured out my career path. I graduated from college, I went through the dark part of figuring out what to do with my life, and I thought I was done.
But the reality is it’s an evolution.
Your life is a series of dreams realized. You will dream, you will accomplish, and then you will dream again. You don’t have to be defined by one career path, or one title. You are allowed to change directions. Remember you don’t have control over your timelines of when and how things will happen for you. You just have to stay obedient and listen to that voice that’s guiding you. The fear is apart of the process. The goal is to dance with it and become friends with fear and not ever stop because of fear.
Her Agenda: For many of our readers, they are often in positions where they are the youngest in the room, and/or the only person of color in their department. How have you handled being the youngest and the only person of color in a position of authority?
Elaine Welteroth: This is really what so much of my book is about. It’s impossible to give adequate color to that answer in an interview, an Instagram caption, or in a tweet. That’s why I wrote this book. I wanted the space to be able to tell my truths in an honest way, and in a way in which people could see themselves in it.
When I talk about microaggressions in the office, it’s through simple everyday stories where other people who know what it feels like to be the only person in the room can relate and see themselves. My intention is to crack open and break down some of these larger issues that are harder to tackle like racism and representation through simple, everyday anecdotes that anyone can relate to.
We’ve been living in an age where we have all of these hashtags and we know that #representationmatters, but I don’t think everyone knows why it matters. That story of me at three is why representation matters to me. In my book, that’s how I approached talking about what it’s like being the only person in the room, what it’s like being a young leader trying to navigate corporate America without role models that looked like me, and then finding role models who I could see myself in and could learn from. There are a number of women in my book that have been a guiding light for me in my career and hopefully, this book becomes a guiding light for other women.
Her Agenda: What kind of advice would you give to women on living in their purpose, when they are trying to start over in a new career but are worried about their finances?
Elaine Welteroth: My larger piece of advice is to never stay anywhere or with anyone that requires you to shrink. The important thing is to not get comfortable there. The minute that we feel it’s not healthy or no longer serving us is the moment we have to reconnect to what does.
Think about what does serve you, what makes you feel expansive, and how can you spend more of your time doing those things. It’s your obligation to carve out space in your life to plug back into what grows you, what serves you, what expands you. It’s certainly not easy to do that when you have the demands of a family and have to do work that’s unfulfilling just to stay afloat, but that’s the reality. However, we can all do something every day that makes us feel alive. The more you do it, the more you’ll feel it, and then the path will become clearer on how you can carve out a life for yourself doing more of that.
The way you can do this is by planning, being really intentional. Have a vision, carve out your game plan, and stick to it. It sounds simple to say it than to live it, but it’s something that I’ve done throughout my career. I came from a very small town in Northern California where people were very blue collar. People married their high school sweetheart and stayed local. It was rare that someone would leave and pursue a big career in magazines in New York City. I didn’t have a roadmap or blueprint, I didn’t have someone telling me ‘this is how you do it.’ I had to figure out a lot on my own.
It was sheer determination and being relentless in the pursuit of my dreams that kept moving forward. I would tell anyone to remain relentless in pursuit of the dream and never underestimate the power of having a plan.
Her Agenda: What is a quote or phrase that keeps you inspired?
Elaine Welteroth: When the world tells you to shrink, expand.

Coca Cola – Selling with Emotion
Successful companies sell through emotions rather than features of a product. They connect with their audience on an emotional level which creates a strong bond.
Coca Cola don’t tell you about how sweet their drinks are or how different they are compared to water. They show you the kind of lifestyle their drink embodies.
A few of Coke’s slogans over the years:
- 1979 – Have a Coke and a smile
- 1989 – Can’t Beat the Feeling
- 2001 – Life tastes good
- 2009 – Open Happiness
- 2011 – Life Begins Here
Coke Zero ads target men and depict epic adventures straight out of Hollywood. Yet this is a drink that has no calories, no sugar, etc. Not very different to Diet Coke then? The drinks are very similar and even taste very much the same but the key to both is how they sell themselves. Diet Coke is aimed at women and has a carefree yet fun approach to its advertising.
Coca Cola is brilliant at connecting to it’s audience socially. This year it’s Facebook page reached 50million Likes!
In 2013 they began putting peoples names onto bottles and this has been a great success inspiring millions of Facebook pictures tagging friends and family members because you’ve found their name on a bottle. Some shops have had to put up signs asking people to stop going through the bottles looking for their names. This is a great example of giving ownership of a brand to people.
For me one of their most successful campaigns in recent years has been ‘Open Happiness‘
The brand also created a Happiness Machine in 2009 as part of their ‘Open Happiness’ campaign. The machine was installed in a college campus and gave out random gifts and interacted with people. Since then Happiness Machines have appeared around the world giving out different surprises in exchange for a hug, a song, a dance, etc. | <urn:uuid:67bf102f-f0b1-4fb0-986e-e15512bf6c9f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hiddendepth.ie/blog/coca-cola-selling-with-emotion/ | 2023-09-25T00:26:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.967456 | 408 |
Happy Halloween! My goal was to be a bull this Halloween, but in the weeks leading up to today, I just didn’t have the confidence to pull it off! That’s what happens when bears go on a rampage..
Nevertheless, there are probably better days ahead. Based on earnings analysis and DCF models, I have thought for months we will continue rising. But in the wake of a 12% technical selloff in less than 60 days, who really knows what Mister Market is up to?
The media is warming up to 3Q earnings, and wow, I am emboldened to say companies are outperforming even aggressive estimates. The projections indicate that earnings growth year over year will be greater than 25% for much of the S&P 500. Can you imagine? Let me repeat that – corporations that had $100 in net earnings last year will have $125 this year.. Looking at Feb 1968, EPS was $5.76 per share for the S&P. This February it is $122.48 per share (split adjusted, macrotrends.com). AKA 6.43% on average over the last 50 years. Again, to repeat – company earnings are growing 400% faster than a 50 year historical CAGR.
This leads me to a very scary conclusion: the economy has never needed more capital! Last Friday, the government’s 3Q report came out. It makes me sick that investors cared more about the earnings report of Amazon.com, Inc versus the government. Off the soapbox – GDP rose 3.5% during the quarter (3.3 expected) and Inflation was 1.6% (2.2 expected). In english, we grew faster than expected as a nation and costs were less than 80% of what we expected.
On the other hand, are we building an unsustainable debt level in the face of record earnings growth and consumer confidence? Tax refunds next year will be enormous, boosting already incredible M&A levels, increasing wages of employees, and so many great things for business. The downside, obviously, is that the government will fall deeper into debt. The real question then becomes, would investors rather the government have money or corporations? I think corporations are on the verge of fantastic technological advances, and the government will not be as efficient with capital allocations. Corporations will use the money better than the government based on growth rates discussed above. Thus, the ROI for corporate development would ultimately boost the entire US economy (including the government), rather than solely the corporations that are innovating.
From a geopolitical perspective, this capital allocation will also seperate the US tech from other countries (ie China).
Off the soapbox (again), I am liking where we are and I have no problem being a bull at this time based on my research.
In a marketing note, my book is currently 170 on Amazon’s list of “investment portfolio management” tag-list. If you haven’t picked it up, you can find it here. While I am very happy that people all over the world are actually buying it, I don’t expect to retire off of writing. | <urn:uuid:9b152e1c-049c-485e-b470-3a2b90ef6c15> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://highflows.com/memos/q3-earnings-update/ | 2023-09-25T00:15:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960618 | 657 |

While branding for the product ahead of an upcoming election. One of the heinous incident happened which raised the question against the current ruling government. Is it because of Pulwana terror attack that BJP needs to do something in order to prove the strength of BJP and maintain the trust of people on Modi government? Well, shall it become a political pressure on the ruling party because of an upcoming election or shall be considered to provide the security to Indian Army instead of questioning on government? The fight should be the loss of our beloved Army personnel rather than the fighting for the power to rule over the country.
As per the present scenario, people are expecting the Modi government again to be in power. He has finished the half revolution and requires to carry another term for the betterment of the political market. The major fluctuation has been seen ahead of the Lok Sabha election 2019 just 2 months before. This is because of the diverse population and the newer entry of the parties which has made the situation more complex and unmanageable to govern the country even by a party who had ruled over 30 years. This time it has become a hurdle for all the parties.
In the era of new age media, the social media is flooded by the opinions of youth which consumed 65% of the total population and making demographic and geographic boundaries. The 2014 election was easier for Modi government to win but this time it’s an actual battle between the BJP and the Congress government. The social media has given the clear picture by its action on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and WhatsApp.
The parties have become a product when it sells in the market, people have to be with the party for 5years, it also needs the support of consumer who is happily accepted and tempting for the product rather than choosing the product which has become a thriller for 5 years.
In the political market, the parties are selling as a consumer product or a corporate entity. In the 2014 election, Modi’s ‘New India’ campaign was the successful campaign which was a powerful motivator for a transforming India but the same tactics would not have a similar appeal for 2019 election. The new 5-year contract needs to be more realistic in the Modi government rather than being stuck for counter questioning. Modi needs to sell its USP in the market so that people will tempt for the product rather than hitting him hard for not a reliable product for the country.
This year it’s a battle field between the 2 opposition party depended on the post-poll result, if the BJP and Congress fall terribly short of numbers then they have to choose Mayawati or Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata, the only default choice will exist to become the puppet of their government.
If the situation shows, Modi and rest, it will comprise 2 slots, first will sum up the Congress including all the regional party. And another slot excludes Congress from Samajwadi Party, BSP, Telugu Desam Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Nationalist Congress Party and TMC among others. Then it will be a hybrid form of the parties with an unstable government. Then the value proposition will run according to set agenda of Common Minimum Programme (CMP) as an alternative brand. It needs to offer a viable economic solution for jobs and also a long term solution for rural distress.
Another option left is the Gandhi brand led Congress alliance. Rahul Gandhi is trying to make a brand since 2004. Finally, get a little bit of success in the Hindi heartland state in 2018. The personal branding of Rahul has impacted negatively to compete for the election as he is attributing the wrong example in real life scenario. Just to hit BJP on daily basis is not the way to move ahead and gain popularity among the people. Rahul is campaigning for issues such as anti-corruption, unemployment, institutional integrity and agriculture distress.
Don’t forget the 10 years of UPA government. The fact that the party did nothing. It led the highly corrupt establishment. Now the party is raising inconvenient truth against the Rafale deal, the rise of Ambani’s coincided with the rule of Indira Gandhi, not with Modi’s ascendance. By 1999, the Reliance group had the largest net worth among all private companies in India, much before Modi came to power even in Gujarat.
Second the UBI (Universal Basic Income) move, impractical and unstable growth for an Indian economy. Such assumptions will not have a positive remark. Progressive growth is required which should be possible if the government redistribute the wealth, this can be an interim solution for eliminating poverty.
This article is trying to show the actual image of the Indian brand in the market. The result for the 2019 election would be the most awaited to draw the manifesto for the parties. The USP of the product plays a pivotal role to differentiate itself for the lively picture of democracy. Delivering good product in the market is the sole responsibility of the parties. | <urn:uuid:cd137e19-7e85-4f55-addb-d49ce65ee66c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hindi.revoi.in/branding-of-political-parties-for-2019-elections/ | 2023-09-25T00:50:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.958845 | 1,002 |

DoctorBase’s CEO John Kim shares lessons learned and explains why it takes more than experience for health tech entrepreneurs to find success in the health tech industry.
Right now, innovations and the companies that create them are abounding in HIT. But that doesn’t mean that cracking the code to HIT success is all that easy. Even an experienced entrepreneur like John Kim says that healthcare is a difficult space for startups. And he should know. He started one.
In April 2010, Kim cofounded DoctorBase, a developer of a cloud-based communications platform that offers mobile engagements to patients for providers. The San Francisco, CA-based company seems to be steadily growing as its platform moves into small and mid-level health organizations. Kim said he knew that the idea for DoctorBase was a solid one, having had previous success with his startup Five9 and its development of virtual call center software.
Still, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for DoctorBase. Kim admits encountering his fair share of snags in the healthcare space, which have since humbled him. As a result, we at HIT Consultant wanted to sit down with Kim and talk about his successes and stumbles as an health tech entrepreneur, and how they are helping him shape the future of DoctorBase as its Cofounder and CEO:
Let’s start with talking about DoctorBase and how the company came to fruition: What was the inspiration and thought process behind forming the company and devising the patient-doctor communications technology?
In 2010 we saw the power of marketing automation software that was starting to become adopted by mainstream businesses, and we knew eventually, it was going to find its way into healthcare. We’re seeing that without marketing automation, patient engagement doesn’t operate efficiently at scale or get adoption from either providers or patients.
Marketing automation is the secret sauce to effective patient engagement; so being better at healthcare marketing automation than anyone else has always been our focus.
What was it about DoctorBase that made you think it was a project worthy of pursuing? What elements stuck out to you about the technologies that were going to give you an edge on the competition?
Our first customer (the office manager for a doctor’s office named Linda) sent me a 2 word email in all caps. “LOVE IT.”
That’s when we knew we were onto something.
You have had notable success with launching multiple startups outside of the healthcare space. Tell me a briefly about what those experiences compare to DoctorBase: What’s been the greatest departure or change in approach that you had to adapt to when it comes to the HIT space?
The toughest lesson for me was also the most humbling one. Based on the moderate success of my previous SaaS company Five9, I thought that we would walk into healthcare IT and “revolutionize it.” What we found, and are still learning, is that healthcare is actually a byzantine network of different industries, and not all of them are governed by traditional business rules or economic forces.
From a technical or product perspective, we now push thousands of messages per day between providers and patients, and in healthcare you just can’t have “routine scheduled downtime maintenance” like you can with many B2B SaaS companies. The goal for the margin of allowable error is always nearing zero in healthcare.
What are/were some of the key challenges that you have encountered with launching DoctorBase?
We face a three pronged challenge each day:
1. How do you get patients engaged with their doctor and their medical staff without over-burdening the medical providers?
2. How do we make the lives of the medical office staff easier?
3. How do we get healthcare providers to collaboratively engage in meaningful ways that go beyond simple point-to-point email?
Furthermore, how have those challenges changed your perspective on the HIT space? Were there assumptions or expectations you had that yielded different results?
Many, many experts told us that medical professionals would not build their own social network on our platform or answer patient questions for free on their downtime. With thousands of our doctors answering patient questions for free on our platform (even though this new feature is just seven weeks old), our users have proven that the critics were wrong. Ultimately, all credit goes to the doctors and mid-levels who answer consumers – the critics just underestimated their compassion. Amidst all of this reshuffling of the healthcare economic cards, healthcare providers are healers by calling – nothing is going to stop them from helping people.
Would you say that the consumer mentality is different in healthcare? Which part is the trickier piece of the puzzle, appealing to providers or to patients? Naturally, you are selling to providers, but you have to make sure you have a product that patients will use. Has that been part of the challenge at all?
Here’s the tricky part of healthcare economics (and I’m part of this American sentiment as well so guilty as charged): When we’re healthy, we want to pay for the equivalent of cheap, federally subsidized cafeteria food. When we’re seriously ill, we want the hospital with the Louis Vuitton suite. That’s a tough challenge.
What about the fact that DoctorBase started with a strictly mobile offering? Did that create unforeseen challenges?
We started as a desktop offering that was forced to move to a dual-mode delivery platform that was heavily based on mobile experiences. If one thinks about it :
A) Office staff are on Wintel desktop computers during their work hours.
B) Doctors are on both desktop and mobile (heavily iOS) during work hours (for many doctors, all waking work hours are potential work hours). Also, throw in a high adoption rate of iPads amongst doctors.
C) Patients can be heavily Android depending on the geographic area. We’ve seen in some of our neighborhoods that Android devices can be over 70% of the patient population on our platform.
Building a seamless user experience with singularity of purpose-as-per-role is a constant puzzle, challenge and joy to work on with a three user interface – patient, provider and staff.
We are starting to get marketing agencies and practice management consultants using our platform on behalf of their clients, so that may be another user base we need to learn from and address. However, this was totally unexpected as a user base even as of last year and we’re still learning about their needs as more healthcare organizations employ the professional services of agencies and consultants.
How has tackling these challenges changed the way you view the company and product offerings? What about the consumers?
DoctorBase has nearly doubled each year over the lifespan of our last four years, and we did it without VC funding. Healthcare has both humbled me and taught me to have more of a long term view on both the company and how our product innovations spread their influence over time.
Now having experienced some of these challenges firsthand, why do you think it’s so difficult to build a successful health-tech startup as an entrepreneur?
There are so many reasons why health-tech is so difficult for entrepreneurs, but I’ll list the top three in descending order of importance:
1. The biggest challenge is what Jason Lemkin of Saastr refers to as “VC Overhang.” In healthcare this is especially true, where you have companies that after raising several million dollars need a sizable exit in an industry where the potential M&A companies have more conservative valuations than VCs.
2. Lack of integrations kill nearly any good health IT ideas. Integration into existing EHR, billing, and PMS systems are a must if one’s idea is going to actually scale. We know this is especially difficult for a young startup, so our CTO has been documenting our APIs in the hopes that one day the increasing amount of Y Combinator, TechStars and Rock Health companies asking DoctorBase to license our integration libraries (we integrate to over 27 different EHR and PMS systems) can do it in a safe, affordable manner.
3. The patient owns the data. The doctor owns the patient (relationship). The office manager owns the office.
Building an organizational culture that respects these fundamental truths was a lot harder than one might think.
Are there unique challenges to consider when garnering funding, or creating an appropriate yet scalable business model in the HIT space? If so, what are they? Additionally, How do you ensure that you are growing your business at the right pace and what risk do your run when it comes to premature scaling?
Most of the money in healthcare is in the services of delivering care -not technology. It’s a wonderful time to be raising money for your health-tech venture because there is an ocean of money out there right now, but both investors and developers have to be aware that there are very few potential bIllion dollar ARR companies in digital health currently. It’s important for entrepreneurs not to over-promise their investors, prepare their team for the long journey across the desert, and drink lots of fluids along the way.
If you build your culture right, it will be an amazing road trip and the scale issues will resolve themselves simply because your team will help you pilot and adjust along your maze-like journey.
As a result of all you have learned, where is DoctorBase today? What important changes have you made and what direction is the company headed in as a result?
Deloitte released a study showing that 2014 was the breakout year for secure messages between providers and patients, and there’s potential legislation next year with bi-partisan support that would allow doctors to be reimbursed by Medicare for accepting patient messages. By being amongst the first platforms to gain traction in engaging providers, admins and patients in meaningful, collaborative and time-efficient ways, DoctorBase will be at the forefront of how healthcare access will be defined – and paid for.
What is the critical lesson here for ambitious health-tech entrepreneurs?
Walt Disney once said, “My best product goes home each night.”
Similarly, in health-technology it’s all about the team. We just hired Joshua Angeles from ZocDoc to be our first VP of Sales – the energy his team brings to the office is infectious, both to our engineers and support team.
From a product perspective my focus is on the next version of our platform, called PANDA Black – a culmination of 4 years of learning, mistakes and discoveries. I will wake up in the middle of the night and start working on it again because I can’t sleep, and often notice half of my engineering team is still on Slack (our group messaging application). We’re just loving it.
The team is everything.
Is there any one thing you wish you had done differently from the beginning? More importantly, is there anything that you definitely being doing differently as DoctorBase moves forward?
I wish that we had found a co-founder from day one with a deep background in building great customer service teams. We had to find one later, and it cost us big time.
Are the elements that made this project worth pursuing, have they changed at all, or have they still held true?
It’s wise to follow Steve Job’s adage to “build useful things,” but in health-technology, those useful things better be monetizable relatively quickly and with a sizeable total addressable market to boot. | <urn:uuid:95a430a6-a9f3-49d5-80c4-c8237645bd59> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hitconsultant.net/2014/09/09/doctorbase-ceo-talks-health-tech-entrepreneur-hardships/ | 2023-09-24T22:44:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.962464 | 2,387 |
What looks like a scene from a disaster movie is actually a meticulously-planned method of clearing silt that's built up in the dam. Silt builds up in massive amounts on the river bed which can slow the water flow and raise the level of the river, increasing the risk of flooding. So in an annual cleaning operation, the authorities open the floodgates allowing the slit to be washed downstream. Each year more than 30 million tonnes of silt are moved this way, with more than 390 million tonnes shifted over the last 13 years of operation.
In fact, the large-scale silt-shifting operation has become something of a tourist attraction, drawing large crowds who, umbrellas aloft, watch the waves crash through purpose-built holes in the huge dam.
The Yellow River authority says such operations lowers the river bed in the lower reach of the river by an average of 2.03 meters each year.
The Xiaolangdi Dam is located about 20km to the northwest of Luoyang. It has a total installed capacity of 1,836 MW and generates up to 5.1 TWh annually with the help of six 306 MW turbines. The dam stands 154 m (505 ft) tall and 1,317 m (4,321 ft) wide, and cost US$3.5 billion to construct. | <urn:uuid:f4ade1d4-6708-4866-b397-216293e81cb8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hitfull.com/articles/annual-sand-washing-operation-at-xiaolangdi-dam-on-yellow-river_dp.html | 2023-09-24T22:54:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.957463 | 273 |
The holidays are often a time of indulgence, sweets and meals much larger than we’re all used to. 21 Day Fix founder and Beachbody trainer Autumn Calabrese spoke to HollywoodLife.com about how you can stop using the holidays as a “crutch,” or excuse, to cheat on your diet. “October rolls around and everybody just throws caution to the wind! And people always say, ‘Oh, the holidays are so busy.’ And I say, ‘Oh, are they? Are they really busier than the rest of the year?’ We have to stop using it as a crutch,” Autumn explained in an EXCLUSIVE interview. “There’s six holidays between Halloween and New Year’s Day. Now, if you’re Jewish, I get that Hanukkah is eight days, but I only count two of them for cheat days — how does six days throw off three months? This is where you have to change your mentality.”
Autumn continued, “We need new habits and we need new traditions. There’s tons of healthy recipes out there that you don’t have to tell your family you’re making that’s not loaded with butter, but loaded with flavor!” The fitness guru who used to train Kendall Jenner added that during the holiday season, on-the-go workouts offered on Beachbody On Demand help you stay on track with your fitness. “If you can make time to workout any other time of the year, then you can make time during the holiday season, but you have to find something that works for you, and working out at home saves you time,” Autumn said.
The trainer just re-recorded an update of her beloved 21 Day Fix and 80 Day Obsession workout videos for Beachbody, and revealed that the benefits are endless when it comes to working out at home. “You don’t have to drive to the gym, you don’t have to drive home from the gym, you can jump right in the shower,” she explained. “There’s 30 minute workouts, there’s 20 minute workouts, if you can only do 15 minutes, do 15 minutes. It’s just important to make time for it.”
In the end, Autumn added, “You can always do more than what you’re doing right now. There’s always a way. Everybody’s busy, everybody has their own version of ‘I’m so busy.’ If it’s important, you’re going to make time for it. You can get your workout in.” | <urn:uuid:5c9f44f2-ee17-46c9-86ec-a2635a5acbdc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hollywoodlife.com/2019/11/25/holiday-diet-fitness-tips-autumn-calabrese-21-day-fix/ | 2023-09-25T00:32:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952103 | 572 |
Inside Axl Rose’s Tumultuous Relationship with Ex-wife Erin Everly
Axl Rose and ex wife Erin Everly's relationship was a big talking point among Guns N' Roses fans in the past.
Their marriage made many headlines, and for all the wrong reasons.
Everly, who was the subject of a few big hits of the band, accused the frontman of physical and emotional abuse during their tumultuous marriage.
Axl Rose and Ex Wife Erin Everly's Disturbing Relationship
Rose and Everly first met each other at a party in LA in 1986. She was chasing a career in modeling in New York at the time, but moved back to California, her home state, to be with him.
The musician was Everly's first boyfriend when she was looking for someone to be a wife to and have children with.
They both had had their share of terrible life — he was sexually abused by his father at 2, and his stepfather was physically abusive; she had a difficult childhood with father's health, drug problems, and financial instability. In a way, they had found each other.
After moving in together that same year, most of her life comprised two things — making money to pay rent through modeling and taking care of Rose.

According to Everly, he had a bad temper, and he brought all his anger back home right from the onset of their relationship. Then the physical abuse started.
This also took a toll on her career. She had to stop doing modeling because of his tantrums.
But, she tolerated everything at the beginning. She even lied to the police about what happened in one instance in 1986.
Rose even harmed his ex wife in front of crowds. He had no qualms about doing so. However, she still stayed with him.
She felt as though she could help him get over his childhood trauma. "I felt sorry for him," she told People in 1994.
Then came their wedding, also through coercion. On April 27, 1990, Rose showed up at her door asking her to marry him. And if she didn't, he threatened to kill himself.
Rose made promises about never harming her again or divorcing her. And so she married him, 24 hours later, at the Cupid Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
Those promises never materialized, though. Rose threatened his former wife with a divorce just a month from their wedding.
And two months after the threats of divorce, he beat her so badly she was hospitalized.
According to Everly's recollections, he never helped her financially during her stint at the hospital. But he acted like he wanted to repair their relationship.
However, it was just an act. His abuse continued, even after she got pregnant.
In September 1990, Everly learned she was pregnant. This had been her dream — to have children.
On the other hand, Rose threatened to take even this away from her. And when she had a miscarriage in her third month, she covered all the medical costs herself, selling her belongings.
She had had enough of the abuse. Everly walked away from the relationship that November after a final beating and their marriage was annulled in January 1991.
Axl Rose's Ex Wife Testified against Him
"I want you to look at me because you're never going to see me again."
These were the last words she spoke to him before she broke up. He kept trying to contact her; she kept evading him.
Rose, in 1991, got into a relationship with Stephanie Seymour. They got engaged as well, but Seymour, too, faced the same abuse Everly did.
However, contrary to Everly, she pressed charges. And only when Seymour's lawyers subpoenaed Everly to testify against Rose did she realize she was a victim in all of this.
She was not willing to let another woman become a victim. She took her case public and testified against Rose.
Everly has since moved on. She removed everything related to him from her life and home, including photos, handwritten song lyrics, and notes to her, all of which she auctioned off in 2013.
The most valuable items were their marriage certificate and the wedding video.
Is Axl Rose Married?
Since his relationship with ex wife, Everly, and ex-fiancee, Seymour, Rose has married no one else. News of his relationships is also hard to come by.
The alleged couple, who had a 25-year age difference, was spotted in West Hollywood. She was a fan of his music, and they had reportedly hit it off quickly.
Nevertheless, nothing came of this rumor. | <urn:uuid:df507804-f25c-4d1c-9874-3d75c26cb3a9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hollywoodmask.com/p/axl-rose-wife.html | 2023-09-25T00:56:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.993836 | 983 |
If you’re looking for a way to add some personality to your bedroom and make it your own, consider decorating with slanted wall. This unique style has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it gives rooms a unique and eclectic look. You can customize the look of your room by choosing different types of wallpaper and flooring, as well as decorative furniture. How To Decorate A Bedroom With Slanted Walls
16 design ideas will inspire you to finally transform that awkward space into a cozy bedroom that everyone will love.
1. Choose a canopy-style bed
When decorating a bedroom wall, it’s important to choose a canopy-style bed. This type of bed will help to add height and visual interest to the room, while also helping to soften the look of the walls. If possible, try to find a bed with a tall headboard or canopy, which will further emphasize the height of the room. In addition to a bed, be sure to include plenty of other accessories and decor in your bedroom design to help balance out the slanted walls. A few ideas include floor lamps, vases or urns, and wall art. By using these tips, you can create a beautiful and functional bedroom that perfectly suits your needs. How To Decorate A Bedroom With Slanted Walls
2. Make a mini gallery wall.
When decorating a bedroom wall, it’s important to make use of the space as best as possible. One way to do this is by creating a mini gallery wall. This involves hanging framed art and photos in a cluster on one or two walls. Not only does this add visual interest and personality to the room, but it also makes use of the vertical space.
There are a few things to keep in mind when creating a mini gallery wall. First, be sure to select artwork and photos that have similar colors and styles. This will help create a cohesive look. Second, try to evenly space out the frames for an attractive effect. And finally, make sure the frames are all at the same height so that the wall looks balanced.
3. Opt for bright white decor.
Most people would agree that painting your bedroom walls in a dark color can make the room feel smaller and more intimate. If your bedroom has walls, you may be wondering how to decorate it so that it feels spacious and inviting. The best way to achieve this look is by using light colors, such as white or beige. You can also use bright colors, but make sure that they are light and airy shades, such as pale pink or baby blue.
To decorate the wall, start by painting it in a light color. You can either use white or a light beige color. If you want to use a bright color, make sure that it is a pale shade, such as pink or baby blue.
Once the walls are painted, you can start to add furniture and accessories.
4. Replace drapery with shades.
There’s no need to shy away from decorating a bedroom with slanted walls – with the right approach, you can make the most of the unique shape. One option is to replace traditional drapery with shades. Shades can be installed in a variety of ways to fit the contours of your walls, and they come in a wide range of styles and colors to suit any décor.
Another option is to use wallpaper or paint to create a design that takes advantage of the angled walls. Whether you go for a bold pattern or something more subtle, using color and texture can help add interest and personality to your bedroom. Whatever approach you choose, be sure to experiment until you find what works best for you and your space.
5. Consider a single pendant light.
When it comes to how to decorate a bedroom with slanted walls, consider using a single pendant light. This will help to add some visual interest and balance to the space. Additionally, using a single light fixture will make the room feel more spacious. If you’re looking for a statement piece, consider choosing a pendant light with an interesting design or color.
6. Hang a couple of houseplants.
One trick for how to decorate a bedroom with slanted walls is to hang a couple of houseplants. This will add some visual interest and help to break up the straight lines of the walls. Choose plants that are either tall or have a dense canopy, so they will be visible from across the room. If you’re not sure which plants to choose from, ask your local nursery for advice.
Another trick for how to decorate with slanted walls is to use wallpaper or paint that has a vertical stripe pattern. This will help to draw the eye upward and make the walls appear less slanted. If you’re using wallpaper, be sure to select a design that has small enough stripes so that they don’t overwhelm the room.
Finally, consider using flooring or furniture that has a horizontal grain pattern.
7. Include wooden beams.
Including wooden beams in your bedroom design can add a rustic and natural feel to the room. Not only are they a beautiful addition, but they can also be functional by providing extra support. If you have a slanted wall in your bedroom, you can use wooden beams to help level them out and create a more even surface. This will make the room feel less like it’s leaning and will help to make the space feel more balanced.
To add wooden beams to your bedroom design, start by measuring the height and width of the wall that needs them. You’ll want to find beams that are slightly smaller than those dimensions so that they fit comfortably against the wall. Once you have your beams, use a drill or screwdriver to attach them securely to the wall. If you’re worried about drilling into your walls, you can use adhesive mounting tape instead.
8. Paint the ceiling.
There are a lot of ways to decorate a bedroom with slanted walls. One option is to paint the ceiling a different color than the walls. This will create the illusion of height and make the room look bigger. You can also use wallpaper or decals to add interest to the walls. If you have a lot of books or other items you want to display, consider using shelves or cabinets that fit the slanted walls. You can also use rugs and furniture with curved lines to help soften the angles in the room. Whatever you choose, be sure to have fun with it and make the most of your unique space!
9. Turn to shiplap.
If you’re looking for a way to add some character to your bedroom, why not try using shiplap? Shiplap is a type of wood paneling that’s become popular in recent years. It can be used on walls and ceilings, and it comes in a variety of colors and styles.
If you’re thinking about using shiplap in your bedroom, here are a few tips:
- Start by measuring the size of your wall or ceiling. You’ll need to know how much shiplap you’ll need to buy.
- Decide what color or style of shiplap you want to use. There are many different options available, so you should be able to find something that matches your décor.
- Purchase the shiplap and have it delivered to your home.
10. Install a skylight.
Skylights are a great way to bring natural light into a room. They can also be used to provide ventilation. When installing a skylight, there are a few things to consider.
The first step is to measure the size of the opening. You will need to purchase a skylight that is the same size or slightly smaller than the opening.
Next, you will need to determine if the roof is strong enough to support the weight of the skylight. Most skylights come with a warranty that covers water damage, but not structural damage.
The next step is to choose the type of skylight that you want. There are three types: fixed, vented, and tubular. Fixed skylights do not open and are best for climates that do not get very cold.
11. Use graded shelves.
If your bedroom has walls, you can use graded shelves to help create a sense of balance and symmetry in the room. By using shelves that gradually get taller as they approach the wall, you can help to draw the eye up and make the room feel more spacious. Additionally, this type of shelf can be used to display collectibles or other decorative items attractively.
12. Consider wallpaper.
When decorating bedroom walls, it is important to consider wallpaper. Wallpaper can add visual interest and help to balance out the space. There are a variety of wallpaper patterns and colors to choose from, so you can find the perfect option for your room. Be sure to measure the space before purchasing wallpaper, as you will want to make sure that the pattern or color you choose is large enough to cover the entire wall. If you have a limited budget, consider using a single piece of large-scale wallpaper instead of covering the entire wall. By using wallpaper, you can create a beautiful and unique bedroom that perfectly suits your style.
13. Hang a tapestry.
Are you looking for ways to decorate your bedroom with slanted walls? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with this issue. But there are a few solutions that can help.
One option is to hang a tapestry on the wall. This will help to add some color and visual interest to the room. And it can also help to hide the fact that the walls are slanted.
Another option is to use shelves or cabinets to create visual interest. You can install shelves along the slanted wall, or use cabinets to create a built-in look. This will help to distract from the fact that the walls are slanted.
Finally, you can use wallpaper or paint to disguise the wall. This is probably the most common solution, and it can be very effective in hiding.
14. Create an accent wall.
When it comes to decorating a bedroom with slanted walls, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. The first is the overall effect you’re going for. Do you want to highlight the slanted walls, or do you want them to blend in with the rest of the room? Once you’ve decided that, it’s time to start thinking about color and wallpaper.
If you want to accentuate wall, choose a light color or wallpaper with a busy pattern. This will help draw attention to the unique shape of your room. If you’d rather have the walls blend in, go with a dark color or something with a simple pattern.
No matter which route you choose, make sure you measure your walls carefully before buying any wallpaper or paint.
15. Stick with a light-colored ceiling.
When it comes to decorating slanted walls, the key is to stick with light-colored ceilings. Dark ceilings will only make the room feel smaller and more cramped. Painting the ceiling white or a light color will help brighten up the space and make it feel larger. You can then add some color to the walls by using paint, wallpaper, or bedding. If you have a lot of furniture or accessories in the room, try to keep them in neutral colors so they don’t compete with the walls for attention.

Are you contemplating decorating your interior with striped wallpaper but are doubtful about which kind to choose? Then you are in the right place. We’ll help you choose just the right striped wallpaper that compliments your décor to perfection.
If you are looking to make a statement while giving your walls a simple but modern look, then striped wallpapers are the way to go. They are timeless, never go out of style, and anyone can easily make them work with any interior style. Contrary to what the majority of people believe, stripes are a highly versatile pattern and there’s a lot to explore with them. They come in several shapes, colors, and patterns and give out a casual, cool, and classy look!
First and foremost you need to decide whether you would like to go with stripes that are vertical or horizontal and thin or wide. Here are the impacts of all these structures and formations:
Vertical Stripes vs. Horizontal Stripes
The impacts that these two designs have on a room are completely opposite from each other. Vertical striped wallpapers are ideal for spaces with low ceilings as they create an illusion of height. They make the ceiling appear higher than it actually is thus making them a perfect choice for small spaces. Horizontal stripes offer a completely contrasting effect. They make the room feel wider and more expansive. They give out an edgier look and as they create an illusion of elongated space, they work well in living rooms and offices.
Thin Stripes vs. Wide Stripes
Thin stripes tend to give a room a crowded but modern and funky look. They create an illusion of an elongated space. Wide stripes give more of a clean, sophisticated look and make the walls look wider than they actually are.

How to Prevent Hair Loss
Whether you have lost your hair due to an illness or an accident, there are many ways to restore your hair and make it grow back stronger. Using the right methods can make a huge difference in the appearance and health of your hair.
Whether you’re suffering from hair loss for the first time or you’ve noticed that your hair is falling out more than usual, there’s a good chance you have telogen effluvium. This condition can cause hair loss all over the scalp. It’s important to diagnose and treat this condition if you want to keep your hair healthy.
Telogen effluvium is a disorder that occurs when the follicles in your hair become inactive. This can happen after a stressful event. In most cases, telogen effluvium will go away within a few months. However, if it persists for more than six months, you may be suffering from chronic telogen effluvium.
In order to determine if you’re suffering from telogen effluvium, you should talk to your doctor. Your doctor will also be able to tell you if you have another cause of hair loss. If you have telogen effluvium, it’s important to talk to your doctor about the different medications you take.
If your doctor suspects that your telogen effluvium is caused by a medication, he or she can prescribe a medication that will stimulate your hair to grow. You can also use PRP injections, which are injections that can help to stimulate your hair to grow.
In order to determine the cause of your hair loss, you may have to have a blood test or a hair pull test. A blood test can tell your doctor whether you have an iron deficiency, which can cause you to lose hair. A hair pull test can also tell your doctor whether you have a thyroid disorder.
Having a disease or condition affecting your hair can be a drag on your psyche. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make your mane glow. The trick is to find out which treatments will work for you. Thankfully, there is a gold mine of information in the form of online forums and blogs. Having an understanding of what your hair is made of will go a long way in helping you get your mane back. Having a good hair care regimen will also keep your scalp in check. This will keep your mane looking its best for years to come. Using a product such as Renew can ensure that your mane gets the treatment it deserves.
Tinea Captis is a condition wherein fungus invades the scalp in the form of ringworm. While it might be hard to prevent this disease, there are treatments available to reduce its effects. The best treatments are a combination of good hygiene and topical treatments.
Among the various symptoms of thyroid disease, hair loss is one of the most recognizable. Thyroid hormones play an important role in hair development, growth, and metabolism.
Thyroid disease can affect men and women and can lead to hair loss. It may also affect the reproductive system, as well as cause diabetes and dehydration. It is important to consult with an endocrinologist to determine the right treatment for you.
A thyroid scan will provide information about the health of your thyroid gland. It can be performed as a part of a general physical examination. It uses a radioisotope dye to create an image of your thyroid.
A thyroid scan can be used to determine whether or not your thyroid is hyperactive. It can also be recommended as part of a general physical examination to rule out a variety of medical conditions.
Thyroid disease causes hair loss because the thyroid gland produces too much or too little thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the gland makes too much thyroid hormone, while hypothyroidism occurs when the gland makes a low level of thyroid hormone.
Symptoms of thyroid disease include weight loss, nervousness, and fatigue. It may also cause vision problems, such as inflammation in the eyes.
Thyroid hormone is secreted by the thyroid, which is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. It affects almost every organ in your body, including the hair.
Poor nutrition causes hair loss, thinning, and loss of follicles. There are a number of reasons for this, including an unhealthy scalp setting, excess sebum production, and a buildup of pollutants on the scalp. There are also diets that lead to nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to thinning of hair and loss of follicles. These diets can include a reduction in carbohydrates and a lack of fiber, both of which can lead to deficiencies in specific nutrients. Regardless of the reason, it’s important to know the symptoms of poor nutrition so you can take the right steps to prevent them.

“Now that we can teach ’em, what will we feed ’em?” That was a line from a workshop I attended at a homeschool convention several years ago. The speaker was Joel Salatin, and he was not talking about snack mixes, but the line stuck with me nonetheless. Since we are all teaching them in some form or another these days, we’re definitely feeding them too. If your house is anything like mine, there seems to be a lot more feeding going on than teaching! I have teenagers, and they are always in the pantry. It doesn’t matter if they just had a meal, they are still looking for a snack!
I found an easy recipe from The Novice Chef that anyone can make. It serves as a great opportunity to practice basic skills such as measuring and melting butter. This recipe makes a large amount, and should last a few days, even with hungry teens! Another bonus is that your house will smell deliciously amazing as it cooks!
Crunchy, bursting with flavor, and sure to please hungry teens!
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (1 oz) packets ranch dressing mix (the powder packets)
- 4 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
- 5 cups Corn Chex™
- 3 cups mini pretzels
- 3 cups oyster crackers
- 3 cups cheese crackers
- 2 cups goldfish crackers
- Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a couple of your large sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, ranch dressing mix, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
- In an extra large bowl, (I used my stock pot) combine Chex, pretzels, oyster crackers, cheesy crackers, and goldfish. Pour butter mixture on top of Chex Mix mixture and toss to coat well.
- Spread in an even layer on prepared cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour, stirring it around every 20 minutes.
- Let cool and serve or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Every Tuesday night of my junior year of college, I would drive twenty minutes north of my college campus to where I led WyldLife—a Christian outreach ministry—and pick up middle school girls for a Bible study. We would jam out in the car to Justin Bieber or the High School Musical soundtrack and they would tell me stories from their weeks (which would range from math tests to toe nails falling off in the middle of class). Starbucks was always our go-to hang out spot. The smell of warmed pumpkin loaves filled the air as we sipped on our pink drinks around the table and talked about our lives. We shared about the really sweet moments that happened that week along with the not so fun things that we were walking through. We read Scripture and talked about what it looked like to follow Jesus. My time with those girls was always rich and full of love and laughter. I look back on my time with them and I’m so grateful I had the privilege of walking with them through eighth grade before they went on to high school. I was constantly reminded of what childlike faith looks like when I was with them, but what I learned most that year was the importance of discipleship.
What is your immediate reaction when you hear the word “discipleship”? Maybe you hear that word and don’t believe you are capable, or even required, to have such a role in the body of Christ. You may get anxious because you cannot imagine being vulnerable and inviting someone into the reality of your life. Or maybe you get excited about it! Wherever you’re at, my prayer is that we can discover our true calling as followers of Christ with open hearts and minds.
Before we talk about anything else, we need to look at what discipleship is. If we read the end of Matthew 28, Jesus is very clear with our calling:
“And Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all thatI have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”Matthew 28:18-20
Our calling as followers of Christ is simple: to make disciples. The word “disciple” can be translated as mathétés in Greek, which means student or apprentice; someone who is learning from someone else.1 When Jesus first started his ministry, he modeled this when he invited twelve men to join him, to travel with him, and to learn from him. “Follow me , and I will make you fishers of men,” was Jesus’ invitation (Matthew 4:19). With no hesitation, Peter, Andrew, James, and John, walked away from their fishing boat—the only thing they’ve ever known—and immediately stepped into life with Jesus. For the next three years, they learned what it meant to walk with God, to pray, to be obedient, and to love all people regardless of their culture, social status, or job. They ate meals and traveled from town to town with one another; they did life alongside each other.
Jesus modeled what true discipleship looked like: it’s inviting people to come alongside you, shoulder to shoulder, and sharing with them the truth of who Jesus is as you go. This was first modeled to me when I was in high school. My small group leader, Shelly, consistently showed up in my life. I never had to wonder if she would be at our youth group each Sunday. Shelly would see me and give me the biggest hug. When I would sleep over at her house or was over for a youth event, I found myself always drawn to helping her make breakfast or preparing things because I just wanted to be around her and learn from her. Shelly invited me into her life and loved me no matter how much of a hot mess I was.
Think back on your life. Who are the people who have poured into you? I believe a lot of us may have not been in a defined discipleship friendship with someone, and therefore think no one has poured into our lives. I thought that for a long time until I looked back on my life and made a list of all the people who have poured into me and what I have learned from them:
- Shelly and Dina (high school small group leaders): how to protect my heart and that God will be the only consistent thing in my life
- Katie (friend, WyldLife co-leader, and discipler): to never lose my wonder of Christ
- Malory (friend and college Bible study leader): the importance of being rooted in Scripture; this will help me to know my identity
- Soraya (friend and WyldLife co-leader): to first seek after Christ, and everything else will follow. What it looks like to be a constant vessel for Christ
- Jenna (friend and discipler): the importance of prayer and having an open hand posture in life
Those are just a few of the women who have poured into my life. Some of those women just showed up, but some I intentionally asked to be a part of my life and disciple me. I want to recognize that it takes a lot of courage to ask someone to disciple you. I’ve had a lot of people tell me they are not ready to be discipled because they cannot fathom being vulnerable with someone else or they just believe they don’t need it. I get it! It’s scary to allow someone in, to let them know anything and everything about you. Ecclesiastes states:
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Society tells us that we are supposed to depend on our own strength—that we don’t need others. But God’s plan for the world is counterculture. God created the model of discipleship so we would not have to walk through life alone. Discipleship begins with inviting someone into your life who you admire for how they live their life, the way they lead their family, their marriage, etc. Eventually walls will come down and being vulnerable will feel safe. Where there is vulnerability, there is great freedom. God designed vulnerability for his glory and for us to receive an abundance of grace through it.
Not only should we be looking ahead to see who could be discipling us, but we should be looking to who is standing right by our side. Because Jesus invited the twelve to be disciples and to walk alongside him in his ministry, a deep and rich community formed among them. Jesus was pouring into them as they got to be shoulder to shoulder, walking with each other. The same is true for us. God has provided a place for us to find people to walk shoulder to shoulder with: the Church. Community is an essential part of discipleship because life was never intended to be done alone. We see the disciples all throughout the Book of Acts come back together to pray, reflect on Scripture, and to share meals together as they go out and share the good news of the gospel with the world. We need a community to be walking with us as we pour into others and hold us accountable to discipleship for ourselves.
Lastly, as we look to who is in front of and beside us, we cannot neglect to turn around to see who is behind us. Who are those we could be pouring into? I know there is probably some hesitancy in our heart when we hear this. Some feel there is a high view of discipleship within the body of Christ and that only certain people can do it. But that idea is far from the truth and does not align with God’s plan for the world. We have ALL been called to make disciples and we need YOU because God has gifted you for such a time as this. Discipleship is God’s big plan for the kingdom.
This was not a calling for certain people; it’s a calling for everyone. Maybe some of you hear that and are hesitant; you believe you are too broken to disciple someone. Maybe it’s because you believe you’re not ready or that you are not knowledgeable enough. Don’t let self-doubt be what stops you. In Exodus 3, we see Moses doubt that he is the right person to lead the nation of Israel. When Moses communicates his fears and doubts to the Lord, the Lord responds with encouragement, instruction, and promise. God can speak to our doubts, too, if we let him. If you feel like you’re not equipped to be a disciple-maker, bring those doubts to God and ask him to change your heart:
- “Jesus I am broken, but you are in me and I am a reflection of you!”
- “My path may not have always been straight, but I believe you can use my experiences to help meet others where they aret.”
- “I don’t know everything about the Bible, but I’m excited to learn with someone! Open my eyes and heart to your Word and allow the Spirit to help me understand.”
We tend to give ourselves these standards of readiness, but God did not put those on us. He asked us to first believe and then to go make disciples. He did not ask us to know everything about Scripture and to have it all together. He is asking us to show up.
That is where we start: showing up. Start with ice cream runs, morning walks, or going shopping. Start with getting coffee or by inviting them to join you and your family for dinner. I often find myself making pancakes for my WyldLife girls on Saturday mornings then playing Exploding Minions with them. Other days I simply pick them up because they want to go grocery shopping with me. This is what discipleship is about: showing up and inviting others into our lives.
This past April, I sat down with my friend Jenna and asked her if she would be willing to disciple me. We got coffee the morning of her due date with Vera June, her first born. Her life was about to drastically change; she was going to be a first time mom and was adjusting to what staying at home meant for her. I wasn’t sure if she would say “yes.” Still, I felt the Lord leading me to ask her, so I did. She ended up saying “yes” and not only did she agree, but she was excited that I asked! About two months after Vera was born, we started meeting weekly. We sip coffee at her house, go on walks, and play with Vera and her dog Hugo. Jenna would have already been doing all of these things, but she invites me to do it with her. In the midst of all of this, we talk about Jesus, we read his Word, and share what he is teaching us.
It is these relationships, like the one I have with Jenna, that empower me to go out and pour into middle school girls. The first time I actively did this was with those WyldLife girls my junior year of college. I felt ill-equipped and didn’t really know what I was doing. Because of my own story and experience with Christ, I realized that I knew a lot more than I thought I did. I may have not known everything about the Bible, but I definitely knew God’s heart for his people because of how he transformed my own life. You have the ability to learn alongside people, your story is worthy enough to get you started!
None of us are trained or equipped to do this, but because of God’s love for us, he will equip us to be able to disciple others in a way that is best suited for each of us. I fully believe God will transform our lives through our calling of discipleship.
- Make a list of all the people who have poured into you. Once you have your list, reflect on these questions for each person:
- What have each of them taught you?
- How did they show up in your life?
- What is your posture toward discipleship? What do you believe is holding you back from inviting someone into your life or going out and discipling others?
- Make a list of who is in front, beside, and behind you. If you aren’t sure, that’s okay! Ask God to bring someone along for you to disciple or be discipled by.
Practical Next Steps
- Being Discipled: Think about what you want to learn from someone. That will help narrow down who to ask. If you don’t know who to ask, ask your connections director at church or a trusted friend to point you toward someone.
- Side by Side: The easiest way to find people to walk with you side by side is at church! Join a community group or start serving and be consistent in showing up. Relationships will start to form overtime.
- Discipling others: Think about the people in this world and where your heart breaks for others. Do you enjoy being around middle school, high school, or college students? Do you feel drawn to the homeless or friends with disabilities? Have you considered discipling a neighbor or sibling? From there, find ways to get connected with ministries whether that is within the church or the community!

Mr. Trump’s campaign is planning an event at an airport hangar in Portsmouth, N.H. But the state’s governor, Chris Sununu, a Republican, has said he will not be attending. It isn’t clear how many other Republican elected officials will come. The number of attendees could be low, or it could be expansive. There could be lots of people drifting in from Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts.
Campaign officials believe they will be able to prevent the kind of ticket prank that helped turn Mr. Trump’s rally last month in Tulsa, Okla., into a far smaller event than expected — but they still cannot say for sure. And most significantly, there is the looming threat of the coronavirus spreading in a crowd where attendees will be in relatively close quarters, despite being mostly outdoors.
“It’s not what we need right now in terms of Covid,” said Tom Rath, a Republican former New Hampshire attorney general. “We have been very, very fortunate — our number of deaths are quite small.” | <urn:uuid:d913f88a-07da-4bf1-95e4-7a240b0dd551> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hotair.com/headlines/2020/07/09/will-trumps-nh-rally-like-anyones-guess-n361579 | 2023-09-25T00:29:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.955472 | 224 |

Social distancing has made it difficult for music videos to be shot on location. The result has been an influx of self-filmed and self-directed work, increased use of green screens and off-the-charts creativity with clips offering viewers a sense of escapism.
Ahead of the upcoming MTV Video Music Video Awards on August 30th, we compile seven clips that have created waves and the standout fashion moments retailers should be taking note of.
Looking to leverage data for the fashion trends seen across these music videos? Reach out to a Retail Expert today.
‘Dynamite’ – BTS
The latest single by K-Pop boy band BTS has broken YouTube records, becoming the first video to achieve 100 million views in one day. It is the first entirely-English song from BTS, who said they wanted the track to communicate “positive vibes, energy, hope, love, the purity, everything” – an important message to convey to fans during times of uncertainty.
This new record strengthens K-Pop’s already-undeniable global influence and the upbeat video is full of trends that resonate to its Gen-Z fandom. Set to a candy-colored backdrop, the boys don pastel shades furthering the case for softer hues in menswear. Normcore stands out as another trend to note communicated through double denim, cardigans and bucket hats. Accessories and jewelry are rife with chains, retro sunglasses and drop earrings that lend to the E-Boy aesthetic. BTS also embrace makeup for men, challenging Western beauty norms and push boundaries of traditional masculinity.
‘BROWN SKIN GIRL’ – Beyoncé
At the start of August, the video for ‘BROWN SKIN GIRL’ was revealed within ‘Black Is King.’ Once released on YouTube, it racked up 2.4m views in less than 24 hours. The clip is directed by Jenn Nkiru, the only female director outside of Beyoncé on the visual album, and is a celebration of sisterhood, femininity and Black characteristics, further disrupting the notion that White features define traditional beauty.
Set to a debutante theme, voluminous ball gowns in shimmery pastel hues feature – a nod to Disney Dressing. Beyoncé shares the screen with Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o and Kelly Rowland. Her costume changes also include mini-me dressing with Blue Ivy, corsets, primary colors and dresses abundant with tulle. Throughout the clip, several Black hairstyles are showcased from cornrows, baby Afros, braids, Bantu knot and traditional sculptural styles.
‘WAP’ – Cardi B ft Megan Thee Stallion
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion reclaim female sexuality and celebrate pleasure in their hotly-discussed recent hit, an ode to a well-lubricated vagina. While the ‘WAP’ video has been met with criticism over its graphic nature, use of live exotic animals and a controversial Kylie Jenner cameo, overall reception has been positive. Fans have been quick to defend the song from mansplaining attempts from Russell Brand and Ben Shapiro. Shortly after, the internet rejoiced when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to Cardi B’s tweet suggesting the congresswoman run for president when she turns 35 with “Women Against Patriarchy (WAP) 2020,” further positioning the song as empowering.
The duo wade through a luxurious mansion and several doors open containing different eye-popping aesthetics signaling a costume change. Animal patterns predominantly feature with tiger, snake, snow leopard and cheetah prints outfits. Cardi and Megan do their own take on Disney dressing in pink and yellow corset bodysuits and capes. Green and purple feature and micro fashion moments appear with guest spots by Normani in houndstooth and Rubi Rose, Mulatto and Rosalía in latex.
‘Midnight Sky’ – Miley Cyrus
The self-directed video sees Cyrus turn the tables on her heavily publicized private life, articulating times of turmoil while also narrating a celebration of her independence – all to the tune of a catchy disco beat. Hitting number 1 in the UK’s Official Big Top 40, the video is awash with designer looks, opulent colors and infrequent flashes of nudity – a recipe for success. Icons Debbie Harry, Stevie Nicks and Joan Jett provided aesthetic and musical inspiration – the latter artist possibly providing the idea for Miley’s shaggy mullet hairstyle.
The standout bold red lipstick and glitter-ball purple eyeshadow combination worn by the star spurned a host of recreations from fans, with the singer reposting her favorites on social media. The list of high-fashion names featured in the video span Chanel, Saint Laurent, Gucci and Richard Quinn, with occasionwear direction for contemporary retailers pointing toward heavy sequins and layered accessories. Vibrancy and excess are key themes here – as is a major sense of nostalgia, with overarching references from the 70s and 80s.
‘Cardigan’ – Taylor Swift
At the end of July, Taylor Swift shocked fans with the surprise launch of her eighth studio album ‘Folklore.’ Inspired by isolation and rooted in fantasy, the video for the first single ‘Cardigan’ is directed and co-produced by Swift and serves as a moody parallel to the candy-hued videos from her Lover era.
The story follows Swift climbing into her piano, which glimmers with what appears to be gold pixie dust, and emerging in a rainforest and then in the middle of the ocean before she is able to find her way back to her cabin – serving as a metaphor for how music can transport you and even rescue you in troubled times.
Imagery for the ‘Folklore’ album incorporates Cottagecore dressing and Swift’s support of the trend has helped bring the aesthetic into the mainstream. Naturally, the cardigan is one of the standout pieces from the music video which has been added to TS merch. Swift did her own hair and makeup for the clip and wears a dress reminiscent of Wendy’s nightgown in Peter Pan, another reference within the song and video. This is in line with the trend made popular during the pandemic of wearing dresses that can double as night or daywear.
‘Toosie Slide’ – Drake
April 3rd 2020 marked almost two weeks in lockdown for millions and the beginning of a new reality. What better time than this to record and release one of the catchiest songs (and dances) of the pandemic period. Recorded in his $100 million Toronto mansion, the ‘Toosie Slide’ video features the rapper dancing his way around his palatial home. Tipped by Spotify as one of the most streamed songs of summer 2020, the popularity of this video is owed in majority to its viral dance, which quickly saw the accompanying TikTok challenge become the fastest music trend to read a billion views.
Dance aside, the significance of this video was in the apparel worn by the rapper, who chose to cover up with “black leather gloves” and a Nike face covering, drawing on the shift in demand for protective accessories over aesthetics. This being said, major streetwear influences were also present – a buckled Alyx vest and Raf Simons bomber were a more typical uniform that spoke to an aesthetic mixing sportswear and utility, while collaborations between the musician and Nike were teased.
‘Rooted’ – Ciara ft Ester Dean
The video for Ciara’s track ‘Rooted’ emerged mid-August, filmed while the singer was due to give birth to her third child. The song and accompanying clip is a Black pride anthem, celebrating excellence in Black culture. Visuals from the Black Lives Matter protests are also included with tributes paid to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, a reminder justice has not yet been served with lyrics including “young Rosa, young Luther keep marchin’/Your life it matters, believe me” – a poignant message with the recent tragic death of Jacob Blake who was shot and killed by police.
Ciara’s wardrobe backs up the song and video’s cultural and political message with the singer wearing a leather jacket with her hair in an afro reminiscent of the Black Panther Party. Primary colors make an appearance while the backup dancers wear activewear, Ciara herself in black bike shorts for the dancing scenes. The all-Black supporting cast is predominantly dressed in streetwear – the go-to attire for championing social causes.

Dr Stocker is a fully soft-funded Group Leader at MIMR and leads a research programme that investigates the role of carbohydrates in immunology. Specifically, the research outlined herein concerns the role of 'deleterious' immune cells and cancer prognosis and treatment. Although the immune system has a powerful role in the control of disease, in some instances, immune cells can become 'dysfunctional' and have a negative impact on disease progression. The Sir Charles Hercus Research Fellowship will provide Dr Stocker with the necessary support so that she can focus on this core research niche and explore ways to remove these 'bad' immune cells or convert them to a more beneficial phenotype. This can be achieved through the development of two unique classes of 'immunomodulators'. The first class will switch tumour-promoting M2 macrophages to their tumour-suppressive M1 phenotype, and the second class will target 'deleterious' Type II NKT cells. | <urn:uuid:9e6127f5-ff7e-4a64-b1ed-a3c1eda1e496> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hrc.govt.nz/resources/research-repository/switching-tumour-promoting-immune-cells-develop-novel-cancer | 2023-09-25T00:49:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.916346 | 203 |
Managing Mobile Plant Operations
Working with or around mobile plant equipment is a high-risk activity that poses a number of threats if incorrect or unsafe use is exercised; there is a need for effective management to ensure safety standards are set and maintained.
As the number of serious injuries reported to the HSE involving mobile plant equipment continues to increase, we must question whether it boils down to incorrect use, poor training, operator complacency or inadequate supervision of the operators on site; all of which can be corrected with effective leadership and management onsite.
As a manager on site, it is important to remember that managers and supervisors don’t have to be a qualified and regular operator of equipment, but they must be equipped to proactively encourage best practice and recognise where complacency may have started to creep in. But how can you better prepare yourself to manage mobile plant?
After liaising with customers predominately in the extractives, building products and waste sectors, Certora Training’s technical and operational experts at Certora have worked closely with customers who were keen to take their operational training to the next level. The result was to create an interactive and engaging course that can be delivered to managers and supervisors of those busy sites utilizing multiple items of mobile plant equipment.
Through these consultation and trials with customers, Certora believe that upon completion of their course, supervisors and managers will be better prepared to manage mobile equipment, with emphasis on the following key areas: The law directly associated to the use of mobile plant and workplace equipment, knowledge of your role as a manager/supervisor, visibility and movement of equipment onsite, operator best practice and the ability to recognise unsafe operations and understanding suitable and adequate training of operators.
If you would like to understand how Certora’s Managing Mobile Plant course could directly benefit your managers and supervisors get in touch on 01246 386900 and speak to the team today. | <urn:uuid:763fb435-92dd-4c50-aa99-0375d33bcec8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hub-4.com/news/managing-mobile-plant-operations | 2023-09-25T00:31:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.957778 | 388 |
The Catskill Mountains, with their rugged, untamed beauty, never fail to ignite my wanderlust. As a seasoned travel and lifestyle photographer, the allure of the unknown and the thrill of capturing the raw magic of natural landscapes have taken me to numerous places. This time, I found myself being drawn towards Big Indian's "forever wild" forest preserve, ringed by mountains, and breathing in the scent of wilderness. The promise of an offbeat culinary gem hidden amidst this natural grandeur sparked my interest: the Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room.
An Epicurean Journey through the Catskill Mountains: Unearthing the Charms of Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room – Big Indian, NY – Restaurant Reviews with Maxwell Alexander – Presented by Alluvion Vacations
Peekamoose is not just another pit stop on the culinary map. It is a beacon for gastronomic enthusiasts craving contemporary American cuisine in a setting that sings a melodious harmony of charm, rusticity, and comfort.
The evening sky was streaked with the colors of the setting sun as I reached the restaurant, a quaint farmhouse reimagined into a food lover's paradise. A rustic-chic design breathed life into the walls, striking a perfect balance between eccentricity and comfort. Every corner had a story to tell - lights and shelves repurposed from fallen branches added a naturalistic flair, and wall art crafted from found objects bore the imprint of creative minds. The place even boasted an indoor treehouse and an outdoor fire pit for marshmallow roasting, beckoning guests to savor moments beyond the dining table.
The moment I settled into my chair at Peekamoose, I was welcomed by a freshly baked loaf of rustic bread, a preamble to the culinary journey that awaited. The bread, still warm from the oven, boasted a perfect crust that was crispy on the outside yet yielded to a soft, airy interior that was speckled with finely chopped herbs. Each slice was a fragrant revelation, an invitation to savor the simple pleasures of expertly crafted bread. To complement the loaf, there was a pat of creamy butter that melted instantly upon the warm bread, its richness intensifying the herbaceous notes and the earthy, yeasty flavors. The presentation was unpretentious, reflecting the restaurant's philosophy of down-to-earth dining. This rustic bread and butter ensemble not only warmed my palate but also created an atmosphere of warm hospitality that set the tone for the rest of my dining experience. The humble bread loaf, often overlooked at many establishments, stood out at Peekamoose, emphasizing the care and thought invested in every aspect of the meal.
While I eagerly awaited the arrival of my meal, I found delightful entertainment in the Equinox Elixir, a cocktail that was as vibrant in its medley of flavors as it was visually tantalizing. Presented in a tall glass, this drink was a sensory delight with a radiant, golden glow. The first sip introduced my palate to a fascinating blend of flavors: Neversink gin offering a refreshing juniper backbone, heirloom genepy lending an aromatic complexity, and fenugreek imparting a slightly bitter undertone. Hints of cucumber, grapefruit, and thyme added a layer of freshness, creating a playful dance of sweet, tangy, and herbaceous notes. The elixir not only quenched my thirst but offered a visually captivating experience as the golden hue played with the evening light, beckoning my camera lens.
Next came the roasted Tomato Tart, a culinary paradise served on a canvas of puff pastry. This starter combined the deep, roasted flavors of tomatoes with the velvety creaminess of chevre. Each bite was a blend of earthy sweetness and tangy delight, beautifully complemented by the thyme's aromatic notes. The aged balsamic gastrique, drizzled artistically over the dish, added an element of surprise with its sweet and sour complexity, enhancing the tart's visual and gustatory appeal. As a photographer, the vibrant colors, the textural play, and the artful plating of this dish were sheer joy to capture.
For the main course, I indulged in the Zucchini ‘Fazzoletti’ – an edible sculpture that championed the virtues of Planet-friendly cuisine. The zucchini, thinly sliced and folded with precision, served as a vibrant green casing, enveloping a core of creamy cashew ‘ricotta’ and smoky roasted eggplant. The tomato confit added a tangy sweetness that perfectly balanced the creamy, nutty notes, while the basil oil lent an aromatic finish. The presentation was a visual symphony, inviting my camera to explore the beautifully sculptural composition from various angles. Each bite unfolded a story of textures and flavors, creating a memorable gastronomic narrative.
My evening at Peekamoose concluded with a sweet surrender to the temptation of a warm, freshly-made donut, topped with a glossy chocolate glaze and paired with house-made vanilla ice cream. The donut was a comfort food masterpiece, with its soft, fluffy interior and slightly crispy exterior. The smooth, rich chocolate glaze added a decadent touch, making each bite a sinful pleasure. The cool, creamy vanilla ice cream provided a delightful contrast, both in temperature and flavor.
The dessert experience was further enhanced by a Pear Martini, a luscious cocktail garnished with a slice of orange. The sweet, crisp pear flavor mingling with the punchy martini base was a refreshing complement to the rich, warm donut, creating a satisfying end to my culinary journey.
Peekamoose is a testament to the concept that food is not just nourishment, but a holistic experience that engages all the senses. Every dish, every cocktail, is a canvas where ingredients, cooking techniques, and presentation come together to create a masterpiece. As a photographer, I was drawn to the visual appeal of these creations, but as a diner, I was equally captivated by the layers of flavors, the textural contrasts, and the innovative approach to each dish and drink. This memorable dining experience at Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room is a chapter of my Catskill Mountains journey that I will fondly revisit, both in my photographs and my taste memory.
Beyond the delightful menu, what really made Peekamoose stand out was its spirit. This was a place where farm-to-table was not just a tagline but a deeply ingrained philosophy, a commitment to locally sourced, seasonal produce that reflected the Mills’ close ties with the farmers and vendors of the region. The dynamic menu, changing with the season’s bounty, was a testament to Chef Devin Mills' roots in the Catskills and his formative culinary experiences in the area eateries.
The Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room proved to be more than just a stop on my Catskills journey. It was a destination in itself, a testament to the transformative power of food and the joy of shared experiences. As a travel and lifestyle photographer, I found Peekamoose to be a canvas, where nature, food, design, and hospitality beautifully converge to create an unforgettable tableau. This delightful gem in the heart of the Catskills is a must-visit for anyone embarking on an epicurean adventure in this region. The magic of Peekamoose is not just in its food or its ambiance, but in the story it tells - a story of passion, dreams, community, and the enduring charm of the Catskills.

Over the last week or so, newspapers and radio announcements have been proclaiming that California is experiencing drier than usual conditions, already using its reserves for day-to-day living, and we should really start saving water now.
We really could have used this campaign earlier in the year. We knew by the end of spring that it had been a really dry season. There were articles in the newspapers, though they weren’t screaming for attention on the front page. Water districts were aware of it. Or, if you’re the sort to pay attention to such things, you might have noticed that the hills still hadn’t turned green by April.
But ads on the radio, encouraging people to conserve, plugging a website with water-saving tips?* I didn’t hear a single one until a few days ago.
I grew up in California in the 1980s, during which we had some really wet years followed by a major drought. It never got really bad where I was, but I remember a lot of little things that changed. Before, restaurants would set down one glass of water for each person, as soon as they showed you to your table. Afterward, they asked whether you wanted water. They taught us water-saving tips in school, like not leaving the water running while you brush your teeth, or taking what they called “navy showers”—turning off the water in the middle of the shower, when you’re not actually using it.
I’ve been looking around some sites on water conservation, and so many of the tips are things I remember from 20 years ago.
It seems like the population has been slowly forgetting these water-saving habits. Or maybe we’ve just had enough people come in from other areas that don’t have them. In the last few years, I’ve seen some restaurants plopping down those glasses of water without asking. I’ve seen people hosing down sidewalks. And while I turn the water off when I brush my teeth, I went back to normal showers years ago (though lately I’ve made an effort to keep them short).
And now, suddenly we’ve got a crisis on our hands.
A lot of the standard tips aren’t massive inconveniences. They’re simple tactics: Water your lawn in the morning, so that the water doesn’t evaporate before it has a chance to seep in. Fix leaks. Keep your showers short. Don’t toss stuff in the toilet that can go in the trash can. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean the sidewalk. These are things we should be doing all the time, not just when things get bad enough to start tossing around the “d” word.
Something to think about when things settle back to normal. Well, as normal as they get around California, anyway.
*According to the whois record, bewaterwise.com has been around for 4 years.

This is a really good article from one of my favorite blogs.
In all cases, there’s more money performing than recording:
Sillerman established himself in live performance, and those stripes shined brightly during the keynote. “In all cases, there’s more money performing than recording,” he said, noting that future artists may create business models that focus on free recordings and paid performances. “Can’t you imagine a millennium-born artist giving away music for free, and selling performances?” Sillerman asked, while reiterating that pre-recorded music will not be a breadwinner moving forward. “The music business does not mean selling recorded music, it means selling music,” he said. | <urn:uuid:53b4213a-4ddc-4bdb-84db-8a074d4806a9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://i.grahamenglish.net/735/in-all-cases-theres-more-money-performing-than-recording/ | 2023-09-25T00:21:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.95527 | 155 |
As you probably have noticed in the past couple of years, event streaming is a very hot topic these days. Almost every integration platform has the possibility to provide streaming capabilities in one way or the other. This means, having a constant flow of data, each containing information about an event or a change of state, flowing through your integration flows. webMethods.io is no different. It gives you the power to connect apps, devices, and on-premises systems with only clicks and zero code. It also allows you to have a constant data stream between these different components. This can be done with webMethods.io’s two basic integration components:
- webMethods.io Workflows
- webMethods.io FlowServices
Now, although these two ultimately help you accomplish the same goal, there are some notable differences between the two. Let’s go over them really quick, so you know which one’s suited most for you.
Now, it is of course perfectly possible to only use WorkFlows, if your use case is relatively simple. However, when a more complex use case is needed, the goal is to use both together. For example, you can have a SalesForce trigger as input for your workflow, but you need to transform events (JSON), using different field checks, etc. Eventually, that JSON needs to be sent to a specific endpoint, where you have no out-of-the-box connector in your Workflow.
This is an example where an integration specialist would step in, and create a complex data mapping in FlowServices, as well as a custom connector to reach the endpoint.
The final step is then importing that FlowService in your workflow, and tadaaa, you have a workflow streaming SalesForce events with a complex data mapping & connector running behind the scenes in the FlowService!
Salesforce event streaming with webMethods.io Workflows
Now you’ve had a short introduction of the two main products from webMethods.io, let’s look at how we can actually set up the event stream from SalesForce using a WorkFlow. So after creating a fresh workflow, you can select your desired trigger, which contains an impressive list of options. For our case, however, we need the “Salesforce streams” Trigger.
Once you selected the Streams to trigger, you’ll have to specify your connection parameters, as well as some other properties related to the actual events you want to receive. You can select which type of SalesForce event you actually want to receive. The options are “PushTopic events”, “Platform events”, “Change data capture events” and “Generic events”. I think most of the time, the “Change data capture events” is the most popular option since this results in events related to every type of data change on Salesforce. But of course, feel free to investigate the other options.
The next option is the “Channel” option, which gives you a list of all the different types of change events you can choose from. Now, one big attention point we noticed to this, is that you only have the option to get:
- All Salesforce change events
- One specific change event
So, you don’t have the option to select multiple specific events.. which is a pity of course.
Now you’ve got your Salesforce trigger in place, you can start connecting and routing your workflow according to your use case. For example, webMethods.io has a nice switch-case feature that you can implement in your flow, and route specific events to specific out terminals. This way you can implement different actions based on the type of SalesForce change event, very useful!
Implementing FlowServices into your main workflow
So, as mentioned in the introduction, Workflows, and FlowServices work hand in hand. Below you see a very basic example of a FlowService integrated with a webMethods.io workflow. As the node describes, a complex data mapping is done in the FlowService before creating a new card on our Trello board when a SalesForce contact is updated.
To add this FlowService, you can just go to your connector tab in your workflow environment and go to the second tab. There you can see the list of all your FlowServices:
Alright, now you’ve had a brief summary of SoftwareAG webMethods.io integration Workflows & FlowServices, as well as the SalesForce event streaming aspect, it’s time, to sum up our positives regarding our short development experience, and some possible points of improvement to make the development experience even more pleasant.
- Clean and easy-to-use graphical user interface
- A lot of out-of-the-box connectors
- Integration with FlowServices is very intuitive
- Great data mapping features in most nodes (also in form of a drag-and-drop system)
Points of improvement
- Possibility to select multiple specific channels when using SalesForce event streaming, instead of “All or only one” | <urn:uuid:c3f4e115-8684-4ee4-a2a5-c2ab7996c864> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://i8c.be/blog/2023/03/01/streaming-salesforce-events-with-webmethods-io-workflows/ | 2023-09-24T23:51:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.927704 | 1,062 |

Pres. Duterte hints at modified quarantine in Metro Manila after May 15
CALOOCAN CITY, April 28 (PIA) — President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has hinted on a possible modified quarantine scheme in some parts of Metro Manila after the May 15 expiration of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
“Modified ang quarantine natin so we will allow sectors of society na hindi talaga nagdidikit-dikitan,” Duterte said as he addressed a nation Monday, which has so far recorded 7,777 confirmed coronavirus cases, including 511 fatalities, and 932 recoveries. His address, following an Inter-Agency Task Force on COVID-19 meeting, was multicast by the Presidential Communications Operations Office and attached government media.
The ECQ in the National Capital Region, which will lapse on May 15, has already been extended twice since it was first strictly imposed by the Duterte administration on March 17 in order to stem the spread of COVID-19. Currently, under the ECQ, public transportation has been suspended, non-essential businesses closed, and stringent physical distancing is being enforced by the authorities.
“Kaya modified muna eh kasi kung magsiksikan kayo diyan sa LRT na naman, wala nang katapusan ang problema natin. It will never end,” he said.
To recall, Metro Manila, the seat of government and home to 13 million Filipinos, was earlier cited as being high risk for COVID-19 transmission after having a higher than 90% probability of having an outbreak, according to health experts.
“We might open partially, construction workers things like that. Lalabas na po yung modified,” the President said.
“Modified ang quarantine natin so we will allow sectors of society na hindi talaga nagdidikit-dikitan,” he added.
Duterte, however, did not give any details on the possible modified scheme but it is likely after government conducts a thorough high-risk assessment review.
Meanwhile, areas now deemed low risk for COVID-19 transmission and placed under a general community quarantine (GCQ) by the authorities may resume full operations of food manufacturing, food retail, logistics, housing, office services, and e-commerce and delivery, among others.
Public transportation, such as jeepneys, buses, taxis, transport network services and rails, may also resume at a reduced capacity in areas under GCQ.

Dead Animal Removal in Ajax
If you’ve ever had an animal die in a hard-to-reach place, you know how unpleasant it can get. This overwhelming smell spreads throughout your home or office, interrupting your daily activities. What do you do about it? Most people are not prepared for dealing with a dead animal, yet most homeowners are likely to experience it at some point. Hire an animal removal expert, like Icon Pest, to help you decide how to best address this issue.
Icon Pest is a full-service pest control and wildlife removal company. Our team will create a viable and affordable solution that makes sense for your issue. We ensure all pests are removed humanely. Our experience and expertise set us apart from our competitors. We have been in business for more than 25 years, so we know the ins and outs of the animal removal industry.
When wild animals enter your home or office, they risk dying inside the walls, attic, or basement. The animal can die because it gets stuck and starves, or the animal is just looking for a dark, quiet place to die. If you’ve left home poison out to get rid of unwanted critters, after consuming the poison, the animal gets sick, and hence, it crawls into a compact space and dies. If this happens, you won’t know where the dead animal is, but you’ll learn a dead animal is there because the stench will make it unbearable for you.
Our Comprehensive Dead Animal Removal Process
To safely remove the animal carcass, we follow a step-by-step procedure. When a dead animal is in a remote area, such as the roof, it can be difficult to identify and remove it. Icon Pest can handle dead animal removal completely and achieves high-quality results by the end of the procedure.
Comprehensive plan for removing dead animals.
Icon Pest’s process begins with a thorough inspection of your property. Icon Pest will also investigate possible animal entry points to prevent animals from re-entering your property.
- Treatment strategy

Icon Pest conducts a final inspection before leaving to ensure that there are no dead animals in your home. Our team will go over preventative measures to avoid having animal carcasses in the future.
Testimonials on Dead Animal Removal
Removing a deceased animal from your house or business property is a dirty but essential task.
When the odour of a dead animal lingers on your premises, you must take quick action and reach out to professional dead animal removal in Ajax. Pests such as rats, possums, squirrels, and others tend to avoid coming into human sight as much as possible. That is why they look for safe locations such as the attic, underneath your furniture, walls, basements, etc. They hide here, make dens and homes, and die here. That is why it becomes challenging to find their bodies and remove them. When a dead animal is left for a long time, it can lead to several health problems and a nasty odour lingering all over your place. But when you hire experts, like Icon Pest, we will quickly eliminate any animal carcass from your home or workplace, ensuring that your property is safe to occupy.
Here’s what our clients have to say about our animal removal services!

How people choose to entertain themselves depends on many factors and natural conditions. It may be sports activities, horror movies, mountaineering, camping, hiking, fishing or just relaxing at home. It also depends on what kind of weather is available in the country you are living in. For example, if you are living in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, the weather is pleasant and people can enjoy themselves by going to the beach to soak the sun, going on boat trips to fish, exploring the seabed or practicing water polo.
People living in Scandinavian countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and other regions of the world where the climatic conditions are cold, especially during the winter period, prefer to go skiing whether it is cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, ski jumping, snowboarding or speed skating. Others simply enjoy gambling at the new Canadian online casinos. Indulging in gambling is quite an enjoyable form of entertainment.
Variety is the spice of life and this applies perfectly to the preference and choices people make to entertain themselves. In Canada, the winter months are long, wet, and cold. This kind of weather does not allow Canadians many opportunities to venture outside to enjoy open-air activities. It seems that the only option available for Canadians to relax, free from the coldness of the damp and gloomy weather, is to stay at home, watch movies, play board games or indulge in online gaming.
Due to the rapid advances and development in technology, it seems that people around the world, including Canadians, are spending more time at home even during the summer months when the weather is better and brighter and makes it appropriate and possible to enjoy the outdoor life.
Staying at home watching a movie or watching a television series has its advantages. It can bring families and friends together in a relaxing and safe environment. Cooking and eating popcorn can be a useful tool to help bond family members and friends and cultivate an understanding situation.
Apparently, Canadians prefer indoor activities with a blend of action and passion. Online gambling is rising in popularity in Canada. The hard winter days together with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns have prompted many Canadians to go into online gambling as a means of relaxation from the safety and comfort of their own home.
Watching a Canadian gambling movie can be a brilliant way Canadians entertain themselves and a catalyst to provide the right motivation to gamble online.
One of the economic pillars of the Canadian economy is filmmaking. Canada has a long history of making films on various subjects and topics including gambling movies. The following are a few of the most popular casino movies in Canada:
- “The Last Casino” is about a math teacher who is banned from attending casinos in Ontario and Quebec. He is riddled with debt and is trying to find a way to settle his bills. Aimed at trying to overcome his debt problem, the teacher recruits three of his students and teaches them the art and skill of card-counting hoping that they master the trade well enough to take his place at the gambling tables and win enough money to cover his debts.
- “21” is also about a professor and a group of students teaming up together to invest one thousand dollars in gambling. Their skills and teamwork give them the opportunity to amass and earn three-five thousand dollars by counting cards at blackjack. Good to know that the movie is based on a true story of a math teacher, showing the ropes at the Blackjack table. This movie starred Kevin Spacey and is deemed one of the greatest Blackjack movies of all time.
- “Lucky Girl/ My Daughter’s Secret Life” is one and the same movie under a different title. The story of the movie centers on a female teenager obsessed with gambling whilst still at school. Her initial beginner’s luck soon turns sour and she is soon full of debt. The situation puts additional burdens and challenges on the girl’s life as she tries to navigate her way to face her difficulties. This movie sends a strong message to young and mature people eager to gamble. It teaches a lesson that spending more than one can afford is not the objective of the gambling world. Gambling is there to enjoy yourself and the games you are playing but within the limits of your financial situation. One needs to take care of his/herself and not allow the wave of excitement to take over and possibly ruin your life. A learning movie that is highly recommended to watch and to evaluate every scene of the script.
- “Cold Deck” was released in 2015 but it is still a very popular movie in Canada and worldwide. The story concerns a compulsive gambler who after a long losing spree amasses a huge gambling debt. To overcome his predicament, the gambler accepts an offer made by an underworld criminal to rob a high-stakes poker game hosted by a very wealthy banker. The gambler needs to successfully pull off the heist in order to settle his debts.
- “Owning Mahowny” is ranked as one of the best top ten movies in the gambling industry. It is based on true events and depicts the story of a bank clerk who stole more than ten million dollars from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The primary objective of stealing the money was for the bank clerk to fuel his controllable gambling habit. Again, this movie provides a clear message to all gamblers and should be attentively evaluated to learn from the specter of gambling without limits leading to insurmountable situations.
These are a few gambling movies made and popular in Canada. Movies that send a strong social message to gamblers to control their endless urge and need to gamble beyond the limit of their financial resources. They stress the need to have a gambling plan and stick to the plan in order to enjoy one’s free time to the maximum without putting any financial burden that can severely hamper one’s individual life plus his/her family life. They also warn gamblers to stay away from any criminal activity which at first sight may provide a quick fix for their financial troubles.
Movies focusing on gambling activities are a strong medium to reach out and transmit a message of carefulness to gamblers. However, it is important that self-restraint is practiced to ensure that the limits and boundaries are fully respected and everyone can safely enjoy what technology has to offer to gamers and gamblers alike.

2012-02-13 Interesting 'documentation bug' for redh ...
Attention: this item is more than 5 years old, links can be broken and information can have been updated.
Interesting 'documentation bug' for redhat and derived linux distributions: several sites mention how you can setup alias configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and beyond, but most configuration samples assume they need the statementONBOOT=yesor ONBOOT=no. The original redhat documentation for alias and clone network adapter configuration misses the part on how to disable or enable them. We disabled a set of aliases and found out after a reboot that they were enabled again. Digging deeper in the script which reads them /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases found the right statement to disable them:ONPARENT=noYes, the default is to enable them when the parent comes up. Wrong configuration samples found at:

Over a week-ago I tweeted that I had experienced NSTIC whiplash yet again and wasn’t sure how to deal with it. I have been known to speak my mind and get some folks really upset for doing so – Given that I know the social media savy NSTIC NPO reads all tweets related to their program they know I said this. They also didn’t reach out to ask what I might be experiencing whiplash about.
First of all since I am big on getting some shared understanding up front – what do I mean by “whiplash” it is that feeling like your going along … you think you know the lay of the land the car is moving along and all of a sudden out of nowhere – a new thing “appears” on the path and you have to slam on the breaks and go huh! what was that? and in the process your head whips forward and back giving you “whip-lash” from the sudden stop/double-take.
I was toddling through and found this post. What does it Mean to Embrace the NSTIC Guiding Principles?
I’m like ok – what does it mean? and who decided? how?
I read through it and it turns out that in September the NPO just decided it would decide/define the meaning and then write it all out and then suggest in this odd way it so often does that “the committees” just go with their ideas.
“We believe that the respective committees should review these derived requirements for appropriate coverage of the identity ecosystem. We look forward to continued progress toward the Identity Ecosystem Framework and its associated trustmark scheme.”
Why does the NPO continue to “do the work” that the multi-stakeholder institution they set up was created to do that is to actually figure out the “meaning” of the document.
Why not come to the Management Council and say – “hey we really need to as a community figure out what it “means” to actually embrace the guiding principles. We need to have a community dialogue that gets to a meaningful concrete list relatively quickly – how should we do that as a community.” Then the Management Council would do its job and “manage” the process and actually figure out 1) if the NPO was right that indeed now would be a good time to figure out the meaning of embrace and 2) then figure out how to do it and the people on the council (and others in the community) who have some experience in leading real mulit-stakeholder efforts and skills inclusive methodologies would have debated and put forward a path. The Secretariate – (if it actually functioned as a support organ for the Management Council) would then help the council carry out the process/method and get to the needed “outcome” some community developed articulation of what embracing the principles means. Instead we just have what the NPO staff thinks. Which while I am sure it is “great” and they are such “hard working, good folks”…it wasn’t community generated and therefore not “owned” by the community which is not good if the outcomes of this effort are to be “trusted” by public at large all the core work items of a mutli-stakeholder institution can’t just be done by the NPO. | <urn:uuid:0effe537-65e8-4849-8b25-9a16adfca0b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://identitywoman.net/3410-2/ | 2023-09-24T23:20:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.973822 | 721 |

Plant growth depends on water for a number of reasons, especially in a hydroponic garden. Water is the thing that drives the plant transpiration cycle. Without water, plants would not be able to uptake nutrients or transport nutrients within their tissue. While water itself will not cause nutrient uptake problems, the dissolved salts and minerals also present in your water just might. Distilled and reverse osmosis water should show a TDS of zero ppm on a properly calibrated TDS meter. As this number increases, the possibility of a nutrient uptake problem also increases. Plants have been proven to remove harmful airborne harmful contaminants and increase oxygen level which can lead to increased concentration and productivity levels. So, to reap the benefits, we must learn first how to water these greens. The number one killer of houseplants is over-watering. Poor water quality can also be dangerous

The 10 Best Donuts and Wine Pairings
Donuts and wine? Don’t mind if I do! Here you’ll find the 10 best donuts and wine pairings, so you can enjoy something sweet while you get your drink on.
Everyone agrees that donuts and coffee go together as well as peanut butter and jelly, or burger and French fries.
But there are some food pairings that are just as good but less obvious. As salted caramel has emerged as a surprising favorite for many, we want to introduce you to the best donuts and wine pairings.
Donuts are longer just a snack. With a bottle of wine to compliment the donuts, donuts are a luxury brunch with your partner or a welcome combination after a busy day at work.
Keep reading to find out more about the best donuts and wine pairings.
1. Glazed Donut and Chardonnay
The classic glazed donut makes an excellent side to a glass of oaky Chardonnay. Sweet tastes are often completely overpowered by Chardonnay. That’s why it’s important to combine the wine with a simple but sweet taste of the glazed donut.
The vanilla and toffee flavors that define the glazed donut goes well with the similar tastes in the wine.
2. Jelly-Filled Donut and Rose
This is the most elegant combination of a jelly-filled donut and Rose wine, but for the jam on your chin. The fruity flavor of Rose wines goes fabulously with raspberry or strawberry jelly-filled donuts.
The sweet donut tones down the bitter taste of the wine, while the wine offers a rounder finish to the sugary taste.
3. Blueberry Donut with Pinot Grigio
The strong fruity flavors of the blueberry donut are the ideal match for the hints of lemon found in a Pinot Grigio.
4. Chocolate Frosted Donut and Merlot
The berry notes of the red Merlot wine go great with chocolate frosted donuts. The chocolate adds a tango to the taste of the wine.
5. Vanilla Frosted Donut with German Riesling
It isn’t easy to find a wine that can complement the strength of the vanilla taste of the donut while not being overpowered by the sweetness of the sugar.
However, a fine dry Riesling takes the vanilla frosted donut to the next level with it’s sweet and lemony notes.
6. Boston Cream and Prosecco
The bubbly sweetness of Prosecco will go down nicely with the richness of a Boston Cream. Let the bubbles bring out the best in the creamiest donut of them all.
7. Chocolate Cake Donut and Cabernet Sauvignon
Is there anything in the world richer and tastier than chocolate cake? Yes, a chocolate cake donut.
Arguably the king of donuts, there is only one wine that can handle this donut. A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon acts as the perfect pairing to this chocolate heaven.
8. Sour Cream Donuts and Champagne
A bottle of ice-cold Champagne is a great way to celebrate along with some sour cream donuts. The light bubbles and sweetness of the Champagne is a great match for the underlying vanilla and heaviness of the sour cream donut.
9. Strawberry Frosted Donut with Moscato
The pairing of a glass of Moscato with strawberry frosted donuts brings the best out in both. The sweetness of the wine helps the strawberry flavors to come out.
Together they make an excellent dessert for a dinner party.
10. Caramel Apple Donut and Sherry
Caramel and apple is always a happy combination. But the caramel notes of the sherry give something a little extra to the caramel apple donut.
Explore the Best Donuts and Wine Pairings Yourself
Donuts don’t have to be a childish treat. Instead, they can be a sophisticated dessert or a fancy brunch.

Hiring a small injury lawyer may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s actually more difficult than you might think. No-fault rules prohibit filing lawsuits until your injuries reach a certain threshold, based on the type of injury, the cost to treat the injury, and your insurance company’s policy limits. In most cases, a small injury attorney’s services are unnecessary, but if your injuries were serious, it may be worth it.
Through his work in film and television, Warwick Davis has built a reputation as a successful and well-respected actor with a high net worth.
Most insurance companies only pay out what they owe. Nevertheless, they may be worthless if you were to win a larger judgment. Even if the accident was not that serious, it can still lead to further medical issues and loss of income. In such situations, a small injury lawyer can help you collect the full amount of damages you deserve. Often, a minor injury can lead to expensive medical procedures, which can put you out of work for months or even years.
In some cases, liability is unclear or disputed. In such a case, an attorney can explain all damages and help you maximize your recovery taraftarium24. A lawyer may also be able to convince the insurance company to pay more, if they know you are represented by an attorney. It can even make the insurer take your claim more seriously. When you hire a small injury lawyer, you can expect to receive a higher settlement than if you go it alone. | <urn:uuid:8e8f08d2-7c8c-4628-aabd-0fe39c29ded4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://imahima.info/why-you-should-hire-a-small-injury-lawyer/ | 2023-09-24T23:59:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977911 | 311 |
The U.S. economic growth is outpacing growth in workers. As a result, labor shortages are projected to grow and that will act as a brake on the economy. We are already seeing inflationary fears stoked by labor shortages, and in some regions of the U.S., businesses are postponing plans for expansion due to lack of workers.
The crucial role immigrants play in our workforce is unfamiliar to many members of the public. Immigrants are projected to provide the bulk of growth in our workforce in the coming 40 years. To meet the goal of an annual GDP increase of 3 percent, immigrant workers will be essential. This fact sheet is the first of a seven-part series examining the role immigrants play in our labor force and the contributions they make to our economy. The document highlights research showing that immigrants and U.S.-born workers do not compete against each other for jobs, but rather, fill different niches in our economy.
Workers gravitate to different industries
U.S.-born and immigrant workers are employed in disparate jobs within our workforce. Seven industry categoriesemploy nearly half (46.1 percent) of immigrant workers, but only a little more than a quarter (26.7 percent) of U.S. born workers.
Source: Current Population Survey, U.S. Census Bureau
A different set of industry categories employ more than half (51.6 percent) of the U.S.-born workers, but only a third (33.6 percent) of immigrant workers.
Source: Bipartisan Policy Center
U.S.-born and immigrant workers hold jobs requiring different skills
On average, U.S.-born workers tend to have higher levels of education and skills than immigrant workers do and, as a result, they work in jobs that require higher levels of education and skills and pay higher wages. Among the industries dominated by U.S.-born workers, 54 percent of them require a college degree or higher and median annual salaries are $50,000. In contrast, only 6 percent of the predominantly immigrant fields require a college degree or higher and median annual salaries are $36,000. The salary difference leads to further segmentation of immigrant workers and U.S.-born workers in the workforce. A highly-skilled, well paid U.S.-born worker will likely be less interested in a job that pays less and requires less in education and skills.
Immigrants are more likely to work nontraditional hours
Another difference between immigrant and U.S.-born workers is the hours worked. Immigrants are significantly more likely to work nontraditional hours than U.S.-born workers. Immigrants are 15 percent more likely to work, during the week, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and any time during the weekend. During weekend shifts, in particular, immigrants are 25 percent more likely to work weekends than U.S.-born workers are. The difference is due partly to the type of job that immigrants gravitate toward such as building maintenance. However, even in occupations where immigrants and U.S.-born workers fill the same jobs— for example, physicians and healthcare support workers — immigrants are more likely to work nontraditional hours.
Higher immigration levels correspond to higher employment rates for all
If immigrants were taking jobs from the U.S.-born, the expectation would be that areas with high levels of recent immigration would also have high unemployment rates. A study conducted in 2009 found there was little apparent relationship between recent immigration and unemployment at the regional, state, or county level. For example, in counties with the lowest percentage of recent immigrants (below 4.8 percent), unemployment averaged 4.6 percent. In counties with the highest percentages of recent immigrants (above 13.4 percent), unemployment was 3.1 percent. The same study found that unemployment tended to be higher in rural areas, which had fewer recent immigrants compared to urban areas, with more recent immigrants and lower unemployment.
A similar picture emerges if you look at the ebb and flow of immigration over time. One study compared the national unemployment rate to the immigration rate going back to 1890. In years when the number of immigrant arrivals was above the long-term average, the unemployment rate averaged 5.72 percent. In years where immigration was below the long-term average, the unemployment rate was higher, 7.17 percent. In sum, a long-term view of immigration shows that unemployment is lower during periods of high immigration.
Decline in U.S.-born labor market participation is not due to immigration
Much attention has been paid to the decline in labor participation rates of U.S.-born workers, especially since the 2007 recession. Some have questioned whether the decline is due to competition from immigrant workers. The answer is that U.S.-born workers have other choices, besides participating in the labor market.
- Retirement: Between 2000 and 2015, the retirement rate for the U.S.-born was higher than the retirement rate for immigrants. For example, the retirement rate for the U.S.-born population aged 65 and older in 2015 was 74 percent while the retirement rate for immigrants was 71 percent. Immigrants tend to have less in savings than the U.S.-born, and their Social Security benefits tend to be less than the U.S.-born. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Social Security benefits.
- Educational opportunities: Between 2000 and 2015, post-secondary enrollment among the U.S.-born increased by 2.1 percent, while among the foreign-born, it dropped by 0.1 percent.
- Disability: Between 2000 and 2015, the disability rate among U.S.-born workers increased by 2 percent, while it remained flat among the foreign-born. Immigrants are less likely to qualify for the two major disability benefit programs. Only citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, with rare exceptions. Eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is based on earned credit hours determined by work history. Immigrants, who generally have shorter U.S. lifetime work hours, are less likely to meet the credit hour minimums.
Labor shortfalls underscore the need for immigrant workers
Today, some of the industries that are heavily populated by immigrant workers are experiencing labor shortages, something that would not be expected if immigrants and U.S.-born workers were competing for scarce job openings. For example, in the construction industry, 63 percent of homebuilders reported labor shortages in a 2017 survey by the National Association of Home Builders. Worker shortages are common in construction and other predominantly immigrant industries, thus contradicting the theory that limiting immigration results in opportunities for U.S.-born workers.
The economy is not static
The idea that immigrants take jobs from U.S.-born workers is part of a view that the economy is static, the number of jobs is set, and an immigrant gaining a job means a U.S.-born worker loses a job. Economists find that the economy is dynamic and, when one person takes a job, other jobs are created. That newly employed person spends money on groceries, goes out to eat, buys clothing, and that extra demand for goods and services creates new jobs for other workers.
One 2015 study looked at understanding and improving the H-1B temporary immigrant workers program. H-1B workers are highly-skilled and highly-paid with many working in the technology industries. The study found that each H-1B worker was associated with an additional 1.83 jobs for U.S.-born workers. The same study cited the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which found that increasing the migration of highly skilled workers to the United States would generate $100 billion in economic growth over the next decade. Another study found a one percent increase in a city’s total employment of foreign STEM workers resulted in wage increases of 7 to 8 percent for U.S.-born college educated workers, and a 3 to 4 percent increase in wages for non-college educated workers — a significant boost to our economy.

That's what she said nipple confusion.
Here are the main takeaways from this thread.
Make sure you are using a preemie nipple for bottles and that whomever is giving the bottle is doing paced feeding.
Nipple shields! They mimic a bottle nipple.
Skin-to-skin and bath together.
Try to nurse when they are about to fall asleep or already sleeping.
Below are the comments from this thread.
- suburbancannamamaHow old is the baby? Skin to skin would be my recommendation. He knows who you are, he just needs a little reminder. You both need to get to know each other again. Take a warm bath, make a relaxing atmosphere and stay skin to skin as much as possible. Take a nursing vacation meaning stay in bed, couch, bath with babe and let the world wait. You’ve got this!! ❤️✨
- suburbancannamama@suburbancannamama There are also some great videos on You Tube. Search for “relatch after nipple confusion.”
- allisonraemontoyaThis happed to me my daughter was hungry & i sat with my boob out as she cried for about 45 mins straight it was hard & i cried too but she finally gave in & latched i kept squeezing milk out & placing my nipple by her nose i even squirted it in her mouth & kept introducing my breast i was on antibiotics for 4 weeks & couldnt feed her she was 8 months old
- ameliasmom25@im_the_pacifier a warm bath , dim lights and skin to skin
- im_the_pacifier@ameliasmom25 thank you!
- im_the_pacifier@suburbancannamamaThank You!
- im_the_pacifier@allisonraemontoyaThank you!
- frecklephase@suburbancannamama he is 9 months, I've been doing the skin to skin for the last two days and he latched last night and fell asleep, but after that...he looks at my nipple, puts his mouth to it and then looks at it in disgust lol
- frecklephase@allisonraemontoya oh my goodness ! How long did it take her to get used to it?
- allisonraemontoya@frecklephase about a week i put away all sippy cups pacifiers & bottles i reintroduced cups at age 13 months she breast fed till 2 years old
- 2boobsandababyNo advice but thank you for serving! Super badass!
- ali_michelle_hutchensNipple shield to start with. Patience. I almost gave up thinking she would never come back to me, but within a week it was great. And don't let her get to hungry before you offer her the nipple. I always heard to be topless when holding baby and show them that the chest is love not frustration. @im_the_pacifier
- suburbancannamama@frecklephase I’m sorry. That must be upsetting. Do you have access to any professional Lactation support such as an IBCLC? Also, there is an amazing FB group called The Badass Breastfeeders of Colorado that saved my bf relationship in a different way. You don’t need to live in Colorado to join. I’ll DM you my real name so you can say I referred you if you want. In the meantime, don’t give up. Who fed him? How did they feed him? Can you mimic that environment some by using a familiar smell like their clothing? Anything you can do to make nursing familiar while still just being the two of you is helpful. I’m not a fan of nipple shields for new moms, because babies can become dependent since the relationship is developing. In your case, I think it may be helpful. I’m not a professional, though so you may want to ask one.
- melodyjanephotosNot many moms would breastfeed through that separation! That's dedication! Kudos! Wish I has some insight to share but I haven't experienced this :)
- _dea.c.a_Lots of skin to skin and nipple shields for sure. Just make sure you pump after to keep that supply up, nipple shields could decrease the supply, but I never had a issue. Good luck & thank you for your service!
- kel.kel.barnett@allisonraemontoya I bet that was hard going my daughter is 8 months old now and won't take bottles cups etc only boob even with weaning and couldn't imagine going through that. Well done!
- firstname.lastname@example.org & keep on feeding mama ur doing great
- kel.kel.barnett@allisonraemontoya I intend to its the best thing I've ever done. She's my first and before she was born I'd brought bottles perfect prep machines etc and it's all been a waste of money. I fell in love with breast feeding and intend to continue for the foreseeable 😍❤
- srivera_Let’s go Mama! I’m Navy. So I understand what you are dealing with. Baby knows who you are. The advice everyone is giving would be the same from me. You got this!
- notjust_anybrittI never went through this but when my son was a mewborn we had a rocky start to breastfeeding. Skin to skin worked wonders for us! It helped us to relax and bond, and the day after we started breastfeeding succesfully. Good luck
- sterlingmomsNo advice from me but I just wanted to say thank you for serving our country!! I hope the above advice works for you.
- pgrullonDon’t know if someone else mentioned it but I got through nipple confusion using nipple shields. When breastfeeding was re-established I gradually took them off. Good luck! @im_the_pacifier
- kathrynzukauskasSnuggle baby skin to skin (baby in just a diaper against your bare skin.) This helps to calm baby and tap into to his natural instincts. Make a ‘ledge’ or ‘sandwich’ of breast tissue when latching. This can help baby to feel something firm against his tongue. Attempt when baby is calm. If he is particularly hungry and frustrated, you may need to feed him a bit from a dropper, spoon or bottle to calm him before reattempting. In some difficult cases, a nipple shield may used to help coax baby back to the breast. If you are still having issues I would consult a lactation consultant, they are wonderful.
- madlywiththemearklesA nipple shield?
- emilieendurancerunnerWow I have so much admiration for you!
- ksushichkaWe had nipple confusion with a pacifier. I never thought nipple confusion could happen with a pacifier till it hit us :/ what worked was I gave him the pacifier (or bottle) and once he started sucking on it , I quickly but gently took of the pacifier/bottle and gave him the breast really quickly instead. It took quite some tries for him to finally be good again . Anddd feeding in a warm bath ❤
- frecklephase@madlywiththemearklesdefinitely going to buy that tomorrow, I have been getting good advice about the use of shields. Have you ever used one before ?
- frecklephase@pgrullon how long did it take for your baby to fully get used to breastfeeding again?
- recklephase@allisonraemontoya you give me hope hunny ! ❤️❤️
- frecklephase@_dea.c.a_ thank you sweetheart! Loving the advice and support from you all
- frecklephase@srivera_ thank you! And thank you for your service!
- frecklephase@sterlingmoms thank you hunny !
- frecklephaseI did that with him when he was 2 weeks old and it worked! Now that he's 9 months... whoooollleeeee different story and not as easy. I am definitely going to buy a shield tomorrow and attempt to work wonders with that first lol I was going to do the bath tonight but he fell asleep to early lol

With consumer data privacy becoming a top priority in the current age, regulating authorities have jumped into the conundrum to ensure that users get the privacy they need for their personal data. One such regulatory authority that has come into the mix to ensure rights for all users online is the European Union. The EU announced the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR, that will be in full effect by May of this year. Although GDPR may be considered a regional regulation, its impact is far=flung and may be seen across the globe in the coming days.
While GDPR imposes regulations on many aspects of management and user protection, the main clause of the regulation is that users will now be able to control their own personal data online and organizations will be required to protect the data that users share with them. New protection methods for personally identifiable information or PII gives every EU citizen the right to approve the use of their personal data. Citizens can now allow the use of their data or can opt for the “right to be forgotten” as an alternative.
The enforcement of the GDPR by the EU will be done through the implementation of a series of sanctions, stiff fines, and compensations. These fines and compensations will range from to two percent of an organization’s revenue or 10 million Euros for minor infractions to four percent of an organization’s revenue or 20 million Euros for major infractions. The amount will be settled on the basis of whichever of the two figures is higher. The regulations haven’t been imposed just for organizations based in the EU, but will also be applied to any organization doing business with EU citizens, regardless of the industry it operates in and its size.
While complying with GDPR regulations is definitely a challenge for all organizations currently operating with EU citizens, success would lie in seeing these new regulations as an opportunity to achieve competitive differentiation rather than just a barrier or a challenge. This presents an exemplary opportunity for organizations to drive digital trust for their brands and ensure that they not only comply with these regulations, but also end up making a mark for themselves in this competitive environment.
Take organizations like Google, Apple and Microsoft etc. Consumer confidence has always been important for these organizations and they have always operated within law to get customer consent for using their data. This has allowed major corporations to stand out and gain a unique selling point that differentiates them from the others.
Some organizations have stored tons of customer data for which they did not acquire written consent. This means the data cannot be used for the purpose of analysis after the end of May 2018.
Data management platforms (DMP) are instrumental for digital marketers. These platforms help marketers find high value audience to advertise their products and services. Most of this data is collected by third parties and used by marketers. However, with the general data protection regulation taking effect from May, DMPs will have a difficult time to obtain third party data.
Data collectors are likely to face more legal obligations under GDPR, leaving DMPs to rely more on first and second party data. Use of 3rd party data should be reviewed depending on new GDPR regulations.
Most organizations will have to revert back to the core architecture on how they collect and manage customer data. Businesses would need to switch to a flexible, agile & compliant architecture to manage & analyse real time (customer behavior) data.
Businesses will need to re-organize the strategy on how to segment their audience if their ability to collect data is limited. While this limitation presents new challenges, it also brings new opportunities for businesses.
Each business will have to find their own way of dealing with the changes in regulation and we are likely to see creative ways to improve the customer experience to get in return the customer’s data.
Furthermore, business will need to provide improved security features to their give consumers. By giving their users the right over their own data, as suggested by the GDPR, these organizations can assuage the concerns of the customers regarding data theft.
By cashing into this opportunity, you will not only comply with the EU regulations proposed through GDPR, but will also create a unique identity for your brand.

Martand Khosla’s basement studio is strewn with bits and pieces of his beloved city, New Delhi, including drawings, paintings and the artist’s iconic wooden sculptures composed of topsy-turvy miniature furniture, doors and staircases. The space is his laboratory, where there are no limits to what a city or a building can be. “I am talking about the city in turmoil… about how it is collapsing and reemerging and altering itself,” he shares.
For Khosla, the tactile process of working with his hands is as important as the finished sculpture. “It’s very analogue for me,” he tells us about his process that brings age-old architectural techniques, be it Japanese wood carving or welding, into the futuristic art practice. A look at any work by the artist reveals this interest in the very materials used, mud, brick dust, concrete, wood and metal.
In this BMW Artist Film, he tells us about the power of reimagining what is most familiar to us, and how art helps him transport himself to this strange and beautiful other-world.

How to Open a Dispensary in Washington
Washington became the first U.S. state to legalize marijuana for recreational use and the first to allow marijuana sales on December 6, 2012. The state had already approved medical marijuana in 1998. At the moment, cannabis is acceptable for medical and recreational use by adults over 21 under state law.
Since then, the entrepreneurs have established prosperous businesses in Washington, and the cannabis industry has experienced quite a growth. While all businesses carry some risk, the cannabis industry is especially risky due to the extensive complexity of the rules and standards.
We recommend you familiarize yourself with Washington’s marijuana laws if you need to know how to open a dispensary in Washington and operate your cannabis business in the state.
How to Get a Dispensary License in Washington
The cannabis industry in Washington is overseen by the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board which is also responsible for issuing and distributing cannabis growing, distribution, and retail licenses.
You must be at least 21 years old and a Washington resident for at least six months to apply for the cannabis business license. Business entities (such as LLCs and corporations) can also obtain licenses. Nevertheless, they must have been incorporated in the state of Washington, and all of their members must have been state residents for at least six months before applying. For as long as they keep their licenses, all licensees must maintain residency.
The qualifications and application process for a cannabis license include:
- Inquiry – to verify the source of funds used to acquire an existing business and start the business, the applicant’s right to the real and personal property, and to verify the true party or parties of interest;
- A background check – to evaluate whether the applicant qualifies for a license;
- An inspection of the proposed or currently licensed business location to determine if the applicant has met all of the requirements of the license or proposed changes to the licensed premises;
- A residency check to confirm Washington state residency – all applicants applying for a cannabis license must have resided in the state of Washington for at least six months prior to applying for a cannabis license;
- Applicants must be current in any tax obligations – to the Washington state department of revenue and other state agencies, as an individual or as part of any entity in which they have an ownership interest;
- Operating plan – each cannabis license applicant must submit an operating plan outlining the required elements for the location;
- Certificate of compliance;
- Notice of cannabis license application;
- Social equity applicant – a person qualifying for the social equity in cannabis program may apply for a cannabis license consistent with the provisions of this chapter.
- Information verifying your identity. It includes a copy of your approved identification and your fingerprint cards;
- Information about your finances, including a source of funds statement, a copy of your tax returns, and previous bank statements;
- Sworn statements and affidavits.
Basic Washington cannabis applications are accepted during open application periods and a letter of intent is also required.
Can I Open a Dispensary in Washington Right Now?
Not right now. The WSLCB does not accept new applications and does not currently have any intentions to do so.
How Much Does it Cost to Start a Dispensary in Washington?
Here is the following step if you want to know how to open a dispensary in Washington. It is typical for most jurisdictions to require a minimum quantity of liquid cash on hand as a necessary component of the Washington Cannabis application. This is to ensure potential licensees have the resources to operate for the first two to five years after receiving a Washington cannabis license.
Compared to other states, Washington State offers more affordable start-up costs. The application fee is only $250, and the licensing fee is under $1,500. Additional start-up costs may vary depending on when your dispensary is ready to open because the market is expanding quickly.
The expense associated with license application costs is sometimes overlooked. The average license fee is around $5000. These costs are to get you started; you’ll also need to pay an annual license fee. They are non-refundable. Consider annual fees start at $1,000 and go up to $10,000. And let’s face it, it’s quite a lot of money just to enter the game.
Choose the Right Dispensary Location in Washington
If you want to know how to open a dispensary in Washington, your cannabis business must also adhere to Washington state regulations in order to choose a convenient and attractive location for customers.
The distance between your cannabis dispensary and any elementary or secondary school, playground, recreation area, daycare center, public park, library, or gaming arcade must be at least 1000 feet. In crowded, urban regions, it might be challenging for cannabis retailers to find a location that meets all of these requirements. County and municipal governments are free to pass a law that lowers the 1000-foot buffer to a minimum of 100 feet in light of this. The exception applies to elementary schools, secondary schools, and playgrounds.
Not everyone is thrilled to have a marijuana shop in their neighborhood. Local government bodies will be informed of your proposed location and given a chance to oppose it. Some Washington cities don’t even permit marijuana-related businesses.
Dispensaries are prohibited from being within 1,000 feet of the following locations by Washington State law:
- Elementary and secondary schools;
- Public playgrounds and parks;
- Public transit stations;
- Rec centers;
- Childcare facilities;
- Video game centers or arcades.
Make sure to align with the zoning requirements of your local government.
How to Get Funding to Open a Dispensary in Washington?
One of the key points to understanding how to open a dispensary in Washington is obtaining funding for your cannabis business in the state. Traditional commercial lending banks rarely allow marijuana businesses to borrow money. The fact that marijuana is still considered a Schedule 1 restricted substance is a risk that banks wish to avoid. The federal government is in charge of supporting banks and offering them other advantages. Bankers generally desire to work within the parameters of traditional lending as a result. Traditional lending banks usually won’t give you business financing even if you have excellent credit and a sizable bank account.
A rule was established by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board in 2016 that gives non-residents a chance to finance cannabis businesses in Washington State. However, this policy is governed by rigorous guidelines. The six-month residence barrier for gifting and lending money to cannabis businesses in Washington state has been removed, but all lenders still need to submit to criminal background checks, and the sources of any loans or gifts must be confirmed. Only particular sorts of loans are available since lenders, who are financiers, are not permitted to hold an equity position in a Washington state cannabis business if they do not meet the six-month residency requirement. Due to the fast-expanding cannabis market in Washington State, numerous companies have emerged to finance cannabis-related enterprises, including hedge funds and investors who specialize in cannabis financing.
The state of Washington may have strict regulations governing marijuana dispensaries, yet a variety of marijuana businesses are nonetheless not only permitted but actively promoted there. These businesses include CBD shops, among others.
Create a Comprehensive Business Plan
When creating a business plan for a cannabis dispensary, you should take the following into account:
- Market needs and opportunities, competitor analysis;
- Projected expenses and potential revenue;
- License application process and the corresponding requirements;
- Brand identity;
- Target audience analysis;
- Execution plan;
- Product and operations;
- Financial information;
- The team.
How to Stay Compliant in Washington
Washington canna-businesses use Leaf Data System as the seed-to-sale cannabis tracking solution. Every cannabis business with a license must have a Leaf account.
You may also learn more about Washington’s marijuana legislation here.
Under the set rule by the corresponding authority, your marijuana dispensary must meet the following security requirements:
- A dispensary owner must ensure to equip all employees with ID badges at all times at work.
- All windows and entry points throughout the perimeter should have a security alarm system at the very least.
- Your dispensary must install a video security camera with a minimum resolution of 640 x 470 pixels and an IP-compatible system. All cameras must be operational around-the-clock and be able to recognize people entering the building through any of its entrance points from a distance of at least 20 feet. Retailers must preserve copies of all videos for at least 45 days on the premises.
- You are required to keep thorough records of all of your inventory and upload those details to the state’s database.
Ten years ago, Washington state voters approved the legalization of cannabis for adult use. Since then, the industry has seen success, but not for everyone. Due to Washington’s strict regulation of the cannabis sector, it may be challenging to prepare the necessary paperwork and ensure that you have met all legal criteria.

Has your Steel Path Derelict (or soon to be Deimos) progression been stalled by that pesky Derelict Emissary Assassination node? Look no further than this guide for the most thorough Zealoid Prelate guide for Steel Path!
So, let’s say you’ve been bulldozing Steel Path with Saryn or Baruuk for every planet and then remembered “oh yeah, the Derelict exists!”. You go and waltz through the normal Derelict nodes, spend a good chunk of time taking Lephantis down a few pegs, and realize there’s only one node left. “Well, no big deal, it’s just an Infested assassination mission.”
Then you got your world rocked by the Zealoid Prelate’s Pathocyst, or can’t seem to figure out how to do effective damage to him. Fear not, for you are already in the right place!
Wait, Derelict Emissary?
If you’re reading this, and by some chance you missed Nightwave Season 2, a new node was added to the Derelict called Emissary Assassinate.
You can buy the key from the Market for 2500 Credits:
This key takes an hour to craft, so if you don’t already have one you may as well get started on building it now.
Punting the Prelate: Boss Resistances, Recommended Setup
The Prelate is by far one of the tankiest, if not the tankiest boss in the Steel Path. With about 3.4M EHP (all Infested flesh!), this tough bastard is resistant against Radiation and Viral, neutral to Corrosive and Toxin, and weak to Gas, Fire, and Slash. He wields the Pathocyst, an Infested Glaive that also occasionally shoots exploding fly-grenades at you.
He’s also got a very similar friend called the Zealoid Bastion, who you’ll need to kill in Phase 2. Luckily, he has much less health and shares the same resistances as the Prelate.
You’ll want a high damage melee weapon with a lot of reach, and preferably Life Strike for self-healing should you take damage. Gunblades such as the Redeemer / Redeemer Prime or Stropha are preferable. Mod for Gas and Slash; there’s no armor to strip here.
As an example, here is the Stropha build I used:
You will want a frame with self-healing capability, extremely high HP and armor, or complete damage negation; Inaros, Valkyr, Saryn, or Rhino are all good choices. For a risk-reward playstyle, you could also choose Chroma – but building up Vex Armor off of the boss is ill-advised. You may just get dropped.
I chose Saryn with the Regenerative Molt augment for extra self-healing, the ability to divert the Prelate and the Infested that continuously spawn throughout the fight, and for extra damage from Toxic Lash.
Please note that this Saryn build was made on the spot for survivability, and is not entirely optimal.
Pummeling the Prelate: Tactics
Going forward, this guide assumes you know the basics of locating the boss. Surely you didn’t get this far into Steel Path reading guides alone?
The Prelate fight begins with a simple tank-n-spank. Keep your distance from the Prelate, as direct melee combat will likely get you chunked down from 100 to 0 in about a second. At range, you have the capability to dodge his Pathocyst’s grenades as well as avoid taking direct melee damage. You can shoot the grenades or hit them with melee slam attacks once they have landed to detonate them without taking any damage. You can use specters to temporarily divert the Prelate’s attention as well.
Keep this up until the Prelate reaches half health.
The Prelate will cutscene you and teleport further into the Derelict. Pursue him until you enter his large chamber (with an Infested arboriform in the middle).
The Prelate (and all additional Infested) will begin this phase immune. In order to do damage, you need to acquire one of Arlo’s Lanterns from the Zealoid Bastions; these are marked with a red assassination marker. Once the Zealoid Bastion is dead, the lantern is dropped; this lantern works like a Datamass and is picked up with your Interact key.
You will be immediately surrounded with a ring of light, which strips the immunity from nearby Infested as well as the Zealoid Prelate. Killing Infested of any kind within this ring will increase the lantern’s remaining duration. You must keep killing Infested within this ring of light, or the lantern will shatter, and you are forced to obtain another.
From here, every 20% of the Prelate’s remaining HP you damage him for, he will trigger the intermission phase.
The Prelate teleports to the top of the room and becomes invulnerable, overloading your lantern. You should switch to your Primary or otherwise drop the lantern, or it will explode and temporarily blind you.
He then starts to leech the HP of all remaining Infested in the room to heal himself. Kill as many of them as you can to stall his healing; killing every single one is not required, but it will save you that much more time.
When all Infested have died, or the Prelate leeches the health from the Infested who are left alive, Phase 2 begins again. Each time you reach this phase, the following Phase 2 will spawn tougher infested. This culminates in the final 20% of the Prelate’s health bar spawning Undying Flyers, Leaping Thrashers, and Eximus units.
The Prelate Perishes: What next?
Killed the Prelate? Congratulations! If you have completed all of the other nodes of the Derelict, or on Deimos once it has released, you will be awarded the Steel Path: Derelict decoration for your Orbiter, the Steel Path: Derelict emote, and two Steel Essence. These will arrive in the form of an Inbox message from Teshin.
If this marks the end of your progression along the Steel Path, congratulations and good work! If this is but a stepping stone for you in continuing, keep at it! | <urn:uuid:33f164d8-41e9-44b2-b14a-e57ee43c0d47> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://indiefaq.com/guides/warframe-steel-path-zealoid-prelate.html | 2023-09-25T00:12:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.934668 | 1,390 |
ONLY FULL SWING DELIVERS DUAL TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
BALL FLIGHT TECHNOLOGY YOU CAN TRUST
Tracking Technology #1
Ion 2 | High Speed Camera
The Hitting Area
Largest detection area available, ball is instantly located and ready to play.
Club Head Data
As you swing, we capture your club head speed, path, and face angle.
As your ball takes flight, the technology captures back spin, side spin, and spin axis.
Tracking Technology #2
Infrared Lightwave Technology
As your ball crosses the two infrared light wave tracks, we measure your ball speed, launch angle, and direction at the speed of light.
When the ball hits the screen, you instantly see the direction of your shot, exactly as it would be outdoors.
No other simulation technology or indoor launch monitor can measure these ball flight characteristics more accurately or rapidly.
Only Full Swing combines two specific tracking technologies that work together to produce the most realistic ball tracking data in the industry.
The Best in the Business
Unlike our competition, whose technology analyzes the golfer and calculates ball flight, Full Swing’s infrared is the only tracking system that measures ball flight in real-time. This means instant ball readings as your shot transitions seamlessly from the real world to the virtual world.
Why it Matters
Refine your shot decisions and club choices based on actionable feedback.
Improve your swing and ball striking muscle memory.
Be confident your practice on the sim will be the same outdoors. | <urn:uuid:8a42b43f-60c8-4a70-ba55-d6967f5eb223> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://indoorgolfclubs.ca/only-full-swing-delivers-dual-tracking-technology/ | 2023-09-25T00:41:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.862397 | 334 |

Tune in and hear more about the importance of securing digital twin and Detlev’s unique insights on this Industrial Talk.
A quick summary of the points in Industrial Talk’s conversation with Madhu Gaganam at Q1 OMG meeting:
The concept of digital twins has been around for a long time, but it has only recently been gaining traction in the industrial sector.
Digital twins are virtual representations of physical objects or systems that can be used to simulate their behavior and performance.
Digital twins can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
improving operational efficiency
optimizing product design
The edge is where the data is created, and it is important for digital twins because it allows for real-time decision making.
There are three levels of maturity for digital twins: visualization, digital shadowing, and digital twinning.
In the future, digital twins are likely to become an integral part of the industrial sector.

Reflect on your personality: Consider your traits, interests, and hobbies when selecting a name. This will help create a name that is genuinely representative of you and make it easier for you to connect with like-minded gamers.
Keep it simple and memorable: Avoid overly complicated names with too many characters or difficult-to-pronounce words. A simple and catchy name will be easier for others to remember, making it more likely that you’ll be recognized in the gaming community.
Be unique and original: While it’s tempting to use a name inspired by a popular character or franchise, try to add your own twist to make it stand out. This will help differentiate you from other players and give your name a more personal touch.
Consider the readability: Keep in mind that your name will be displayed in various in-game situations, such as leaderboards and chat windows. Make sure your chosen name is easily readable and not easily mistaken for inappropriate or offensive language.
Test it out: Before committing to a name, say it out loud and share it with friends to get their feedback. This will help you determine if the name sounds good, is easy to pronounce, and resonates well with others.
Be mindful of the game’s community guidelines: Most games, including Call of Duty, have community guidelines that prohibit the use of offensive, hateful, or discriminatory language in usernames. Make sure your chosen name adheres to these guidelines to avoid penalties or account suspension.
Stay open to change: Remember that your gaming preferences and style may evolve over time, and the name that seems perfect today may not be the best fit in the future. Be prepared to adapt and change your name if necessary, to better reflect your current gaming persona.
By following these tips, you can confidently select a COD name that suits you and enhances your overall gaming experience.
In conclusion, our extensive collection of COD names is designed to cater to a wide range of gamers, from those who prefer a lighthearted and humorous approach to ultra-competitive and skilled players. No matter your preference, this comprehensive list, with 70 names in each category, will provide you with ample choices to find a name that truly resonates with your personality, playstyle, and gaming goals. Your in-game name is your virtual identity and represents you in the online community. It’s essential to choose a name that not only reflects your character but also leaves a lasting impression on your opponents and teammates alike. Whether you opt for a funny, sweaty, cool, or strong name, remember that your choice will be a part of your gaming legacy. We encourage you to explore the options in each category, combine elements of different names, or create your own unique name. Engage with fellow gamers and exchange ideas to enrich your gaming experience and strengthen the community. May the best name win, and happy gaming! | <urn:uuid:a489d2c2-d7d6-4f99-8c13-2ff6de395e69> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://inforain.org/funny-cod-names/ | 2023-09-24T22:49:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.673294 | 3,777 |

In Part 1 of this blog series I ended by leaving you with the question:
What would your life be like if you could experience inner peace in the form of REAL (not feigned) peace, calm, centeredness and balance, REGARDLESS of what was happening in your life?
Accomplishing THAT would be extremely empowering!
So how can you accomplish that?
I know many people who are drawn to read this may have already been working on this goal even if they haven’t thought of it in the way I am describing it. So I’ll begin by saying that everything you’ve done thus far has indeed been preparing you for becoming much more highly adept at doing this one most powerful thing in your life.
To further develop your abilities in this direction you will do well to develop a better degree of self-honesty. To be able to have more control over how you react and respond to life within yourself, you need an ability to be able to be fully honest with yourself regards the places you are falling short of your goals in this regard.
Otherwise you will operate in a form a self-delusion which then interferes with your ability to achieve emotional and mental sovereignty and deeper states of inner peace. Lack of self-honesty seriously interferes because if we fool ourselves into believing that we’re hitting our mark, when in fact we’ve missed it, then we’ll not actually be of the belief that we need to make any further improvements. Once that condition sets in, it interferes with everything else you may be trying to do along these lines.
One of the really beautiful things about this is that the more self-honest you are, the more you feel peaceful inside yourself too. Self-honesty is therefore a tool to directly take control over your inner reactions and responses to the myriads of stimuli that life tosses your way, and which can cause you to react or respond internally in ways that do not feel very good.
Tips for Developing More Self-Honesty
- Keep a journal or diary where you write down a few notes about any challenging daily situations and occurrences and how you reacted/responded to them both internally, and externally. The truth of the matter here is that if you can change how you react/respond internally, then your external responses will also change for the better all of their own accord.
- Do a day-end review each day. This can also be integrated into your journaling process. Ask yourself where you missed the mark in handling difficult situations that you encountered and could have done better; and also, just as importantly, ask yourself where you performed well that day. You will find that as you gain more ability to be self-honest, the things which once seemed difficult or challenging no longer do.
- Become proactive in the moment that you start experiencing any type of negative reaction or internal response to any people, circumstances, or situations. One way to do this is by telling yourself over and again, that ONLY YOU can change how you feel inside, and NOW is the time that you need to step up and do that.
- Fully accept whatever emotions you are experiencing inside yourself, without making them into your highest truth or attempting to hang onto them after you’ve accepted them. They only represent a limited truth of the moment. Remember your higher values to then access what your enduring higher truth really is. This will dispel your negative inner reactions and responses, and thus get you back to experiencing and being the best you that you wish to be.
- Acknowledge you’re human and that it’s therefore perfectly normal to have negative inner reactions and responses at times. Do this with an intention to also do your best to take 100% responsibility for what you experience inside of yourself and to not blame anyone/anything else for your inner reactions and responses.
In addition to being better able to experience inner peace in the form of REAL (not feigned) peace, calm, centeredness and balance, REGARDLESS of what’s happening in your life, another really wonderful benefit to becoming more self-honest is that you will actually find other people will naturally trust you more. This can show up in many ways, but at the core of them all is a wonderful feeling of deepening connection that expands between you and others. | <urn:uuid:fd9e5ea0-63cf-4d94-ac44-166f7226e4b0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://innerpeace-worldpeace.com/inner-peace-is-optional-not-part-2/ | 2023-09-24T23:44:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.961509 | 897 |

Building a resilient, future-fit Interplex:
Innovating Sustainable Cell-PLX™ Battery Interconnect Systems
Figure 1 - Has the world got enough Lithium to meet the rising demand of EVs?
The Importance of Lithium for Achieving Net Zero Goals
With this current relatively low level of EV production already straining the supply chains for newly mined lithium, the projected goal to reach 2 billion EVs puts lithium availability squarely on the critical path for success. Credit Suisse projects that lithium demand will triple in the near term by 2025.
Figure 2 – The graph shows the growth of electric vehicles over 10 years. (Source: EV Volumes)
Mining new lithium is also subject to various constraints, including:
- Limited Reserves: Lithium is not an abundant resource globally. While lithium deposits exist in various parts of the world, the economically viable reserves are limited. The concentration of lithium in ore bodies is relatively low, making it necessary to mine large quantities of ore to extract enough lithium.
- Environmental Impact: Lithium mining can have significant environmental impacts. Traditional mining methods, such as open-pit mining, can lead to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, lithium extraction techniques, such as evaporation ponds, can have adverse effects on local ecosystems and water resources. Meeting stringent environmental regulations and mitigating these impacts can increase the costs and challenges associated with lithium mining.
- Energy Intensity: The extraction and processing of lithium can be energy-intensive, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and may counteract some of the environmental benefits of using lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. Developing more energy-efficient mining and extraction technologies is crucial to reduce the carbon footprint associated with lithium production.
- Social and Human Rights Concerns: Lithium mining operations often take place in regions with indigenous peoples and sensitive ecosystems, so extraction can impact local communities, cultural heritage, and traditional livelihoods. Ensuring the rights and well-being of affected communities, as well as addressing social concerns, such as fair labor practices and responsible mining standards, is essential for sustainable lithium mining.
- Infrastructure and Supply Chain Challenges: Expanding lithium mining requires the development of adequate infrastructure, including transportation, energy supply, and water resources. Some lithium deposits are in remote areas, which can present logistical challenges for extraction and transport. Additionally, building a secure and resilient supply chain for lithium involves establishing refining and processing facilities, as well as secure transportation routes, which is complex and time-consuming.

Technology Approaches for Improving EV Battery Sustainability
Key among these is our Cell-PLX™ battery interconnect system, which consists of thin, lightweight, ultra-flat and robust current collectors that are designed to help EV-makers overcome the challenges of customizing reliable battery connections. With our patented U-Turn design innovation, Cell-PLX™ achieves excellent current density spread and low-loss energy transfer. This is because the energy flow is remarkably better organized as it moves from the positive to the negative terminal, across just one single conductor layer. This enables optimal battery performance, longer battery lifespan and enhanced drive range.
Figure 4 - Overview of Cell-PLX™ battery interconnect technology.
As discussed in the following section, Cell-PLX™ also provides a highly adaptable basis for improving the ability of EV battery designs to support long term sustainability and offset lithium availability constraints.
Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle
Enhancing the Interconnect Removal and Reconnection Processes
Figure 5 - Permanent weld joints.
This not only adds cost and time to the recycling process; it also makes it impractical to remove the interconnect element so that individual Li-Ion cells can be replaced, which means good cells within the battery pack are unnecessarily wasted. As a result, the recycling process ends up sub optimally recovering lithium from many good cells that still have useful life.
Interplex is working closely with EV makers, battery cell manufacturers, and recyclers to map out a forward technology path that can replace the use of permanent connection methods, such as laser welding, with “weldless” processes that support clean and easy disconnections. By making recycling processes simpler, a circular economy can be created, with harmful substances not polluting the environment and the limited availability of certain materials being mitigated. Furthermore, by not having to dispose of entire battery packs (but just swapping faulty cells instead) the replacement costs involved are greatly reduced.
Minimizing Material Waste
Figure 6 - Spurred by our belief in designing for circularity, Interplex has innovated a "weldless" battery interconnect for prismatic cells.
Enhancing Functionality with Complementary Technologies
Figure 7 - Side profile of our weldless "clip-on" battery interconnect.
In addition to enabling better management of battery charging, usage monitoring, lifecycle length, and range per charge, these added functions also help avoid wasting lithium.
For example, the ability for EV makers to use targeted monitoring to identify problem cells and replace them on an individual basis means that battery packs can be refurbished with new cells that extend their useful lifecycles. Instead of decommissioning the entire battery pack and having to lose or recover the lithium from all the good cells, manufacturers will be able to simply exchange failed cells with new ones.
Figure 8 - Innovating new battery technologies that support a greener tomorrow.
Standardization: Designing batteries with standardized components and interfaces, such as Cell-PLX™, enables easier disassembly and separation of different materials during recycling. It allows for efficient removal of hazardous components and enhances the recovery of valuable materials.
Modular Design: Implementing a modular design approach allows for the disassembly of batteries into smaller units or modules. This makes it easier to identify and replace faulty or degraded components, reducing the need for complete battery replacement. Modular designs simplify the recycling process by enabling the selective removal of specific modules or cells for recycling, rather than dismantling the entire battery pack.
Material Selection: Battery design should consider the use of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials. Avoiding or minimizing the use of hazardous or hard-to-recycle substances simplifies the recycling process and reduces potential environmental impacts. Designers can explore alternative materials or develop innovative material compositions that are easier to recycle without compromising performance.
Easy Access Points: Designing batteries with easy access points for disassembly and recycling can streamline the process. Incorporating features like removable covers or access panels simplifies the removal of battery modules or cells, allowing for more efficient recycling operations.
Design for Disassembly: Considering the ease of disassembly during the design phase, as described in this article, can significantly reduce the time and effort required for recycling. Designing batteries with fewer permanently welded connections can facilitate disassembly and separation of components during recycling, and/or replacement of failed cells to extend battery lifecycles.
Battery Tracking and Tracing: Implementing tracking systems to monitor battery usage, performance, and end-of-life information can assist in the recycling process. It enables effective identification of batteries at the end of their life cycle, ensuring they are properly collected and directed to appropriate recycling facilities.
Collaboration with Recyclers: Collaboration between battery manufacturers and recycling facilities is crucial. By involving recyclers in the design process, manufacturers can gain insights into the challenges and requirements of the recycling industry. This collaboration can lead to design optimizations that better align with the recycling infrastructure and processes, improving overall recycling efficiency.
By considering these factors, battery designers can contribute to the development of batteries that are easier to recycle, reducing costs, improving resource efficiency, and supporting the transition to a more sustainable and circular economy. | <urn:uuid:8c9c3bbf-c891-4ff4-8e2f-b9b9ba7da041> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://interplex.com/resources/building-a-resilient-future-fit-interplex-innovating-sustainable-cell-plx-battery-interconnect-systems/ | 2023-09-25T00:04:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.912791 | 1,596 |
A Dangerous, Accessible Drug
According to a cross-sectional survey published in the journal Addiction1, an estimated 3.3 million Americans have used kratom at some point in their lives. In general, people misusing this drug were younger men, students, and healthcare professionals. Why is this drug still legal in much of the U.S., and does it have harmful properties? Today, we’ll answer the question on everyone’s minds: is kratom addictive?
What is Kratom?
First, we should begin by explaining what this drug is. Kratom’s scientific name is Mitragyna speciosa, and it’s a plant that contains mu opioid partial agonists. If the word “opioid” rings a bell, you’ve already made the connection about why people abuse this drug. Many Americans take it for its mind-altering effects, while a select subset uses it in an attempt to overcome opioid use disorder. Unfortunately, just because a substance is natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you—or even safe to consume.
Effects of Kratom
In small doses, kratom stimulates your nervous system. This causes talkativeness, heightened alertness, and increased physical energy.
In larger doses, its effects are reversed, resulting in sedation and psychotic symptoms. Psychosis occurs when someone sees and hear things that aren’t there. They may also begin to experience delusions: persistent, frightening thoughts that are unreasonable or paranoid.
Regardless of dosage, kratom also produces a host of uncomfortable side effects2. People using this drug become nauseated, itchy, and may sweat profusely. Some vomit or fall asleep without meaning to. Others become constipated while also urinating more frequently. Serious health complications can occur from long-term use, including tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), seizures, insomnia, anorexia, and hepatotoxicity (chemical-driven liver damage).
Is Kratom Addictive?
While scientists are still learning more about kratom, most findings indicate that it may have addictive potential. Those at greatest risk? Young men attempting to overcome opioid addiction in their own homes. In recent years, this substance has gained notoriety as a potential “do-it-yourself” treatment for addiction. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that kratom may simply replace the use of opioids, resulting in a renewed cycle of substance abuse.
In a recent intervention, Intervention On Call’s founder confronted a client in the grips of kratom addiction. “I intervened on a fellow who was on kratom trying to get over an opiate addiction,” said Sam Davis. “He was eating the leaves. In his room, he had stuff everywhere, and he was just chewing on leaves. People take this thinking they’re sober, thinking it’s helping them, and that’s crazy.”
Signs of kratom addiction include:
- Using in spite of the consequences (relationship issues, health problems, job loss)
- Spending all one’s money on the substance
- Choosing to use instead of participating in social events, hobbies, or other activities
- Using more than intended
- Trying and failing to quit
- Erratic, violent, or unpredictable behavior
- Profuse sweating
- Inability to perceive painful stimuli
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms

The damage of two bugs was observed in wheat fields of Galikesh in May, 2015. Both species belong to Miridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera). One of the collected bugs was wingless and it is similar to ants. This species was identified as Myrmecophyes (Myrmecophyes) alacer Horváth. Thisinsect was observed in wheat fields of Farsian and neighboring villages. It was often observed at the margin of wheat fields and on some grass weeds. The damage of this bug has been observed as small white spots on leaf surface, specially at tip of wheat leaves. The other mirid bug, Grypocoris (Grypocoris) golestanicus Heiss, usually collected in the margins of wheat fields of Terjinly village. Its damage was almost same as the previous bug. This is the first association of these two mirid bugs in wheat field in Iran. | <urn:uuid:8b79b8aa-60ed-4fba-b6d3-8fecdc4977b2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://iprj.guilan.ac.ir/article_1994.html | 2023-09-25T00:36:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.933483 | 277 |

All jawed vertebrates have innate and adaptive immune responses, and the same major components of these responses, including toll-like receptors, macrophages, complement, T cells, and B cells. However, despite this broad similarity, there is much natural variation in immune responses both within and among taxa. This variation may be explained by the fact that an organism can allocate resources toward different components of its immune system in response to varying pressures. Examples of pressures include environmental changes, reproductive state, or exposure to pathogens. I define an organism's immune strategy as how an organism utilizes its various components of its immune system as a result of such pressures. The goal of my dissertation was to explore the immune strategy of a long-lived ectotherm, the red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta. Specifically, I examined the effects of age, temperature, and steroids on a variety of immune measures in a natural population of sliders. I found evidence for a humoral immune response that relies on innate, natural antibodies rather than adaptive, specific antibodies. I also found little evidence for a decline in humoral immune responses with age when assays were run at a constant temperature. However, B cells from older individuals did respond less to antigen stimulation than B cells from younger turtles when assays were run at higher temperatures. I also found no evidence for an effect of estrogens on the development of the red-eared slider turtle. Overall, my research suggest the red-eared slider uses an immune strategy that relies heavily on innate responses rather than adaptive.

Lottery is a form of gambling in which participants choose numbers in order to win a prize. The prizes can be cash or goods. Prizes are usually fixed amounts of money or a percentage of the total receipts. The latter arrangement has become popular in many recent state lotteries.
While there are a number of benefits to lotteries, they also raise important questions. A central issue is whether it is appropriate for government to promote gambling, particularly when the proceeds are used for public purposes. In addition, lotteries are associated with a variety of social problems, including poverty and problem gambling. These issues should be considered before a lottery is established.
The history of the lottery can be traced back to ancient times. For example, the Old Testament instructs Moses to divide land amongst the Israelites by lot. Similarly, Roman emperors used lottery games as entertainment for their guests during Saturnalian feasts. One such game, called the apophoreta, involved distributing pieces of wood with symbols on them and then holding a drawing for prizes that the winners could take home.
In modern times, lottery tickets are sold in most states. Despite the fact that the odds of winning are very low, many people buy lottery tickets each week. It is estimated that in the United States alone, people spend billions of dollars on lottery tickets each year. Some believe that winning the lottery will give them a better life, while others just enjoy playing the game. However, before deciding to purchase a lottery ticket, it is advisable to understand the risks and know the odds.
As a result of the growing popularity of lotteries, state governments have had to consider how to regulate them. Some states have outright banned them, while others have regulated them and mandated minimum prize levels. In either case, lotteries have a major influence on state policy and the way state government allocates resources.
Some states have used the proceeds of lotteries to finance projects such as roads and schools. In other cases, they have donated the money to charities and other organizations. Lottery revenue is often used to supplement other sources of state income, such as sales tax and corporate taxes. In some states, the revenue is used to provide education scholarships for high school students.
Lotteries have gained broad support in the United States because they are seen as a way to improve public services. State governments have been able to maintain this support by emphasizing that lottery proceeds are earmarked for specific public benefits, such as education. They have also been able to use the argument that lotteries help offset the effects of budget deficits and other economic challenges. Nevertheless, these arguments fail to take into account the actual fiscal conditions of state governments. | <urn:uuid:4217c38a-fea7-43c0-a464-9d22deb2f10c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://islands-holiday.com/public-policy-and-the-lottery/ | 2023-09-24T23:03:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.971911 | 546 |
HOT WING DIP
I love hot wings, especially with a creamy bleu cheese dip. Unfortunately, that combo packs a huge amount of fat that I don’t love. I’ve taken those familiar flavors and combined them into a creamy, Greek yogurt dip that’s high in protein but gives you a major break on the fat typically found in wings. This is a great crowd-pleaser at a party, so you can feel good mixing up this quick, easy, protein-packed dip for your next celebration!
I hope you enjoy this delicious addition to your healthy ISO lifestyle!

The Five Types of Masks in Photoshop
By Elizabeth Mott
Updated September 28, 2017
When you're creating and editing visuals in Adobe Photoshop, the image areas you hide make as important a contribution to the work you create as do the image areas you present. Experienced Photoshop artists know that rather than delete pixel information they don't want visible, it's better to use a mask, giving yourself the option to reveal parts of your image you first decided to hide. Photoshop's masks come in various types, each suited to a different image-creation task.
In 1994, Adobe Photoshop 3 saved graphic artists from the tedium of maintaining separate documents to create multiple versions of an image. With Photoshop 3's new layers, artists could create composite images with discrete graphic elements, applying layer masks to hide or show all or parts of them. A layer mask consists of a grayscale bitmap. You can paint a mask by hand or use a selection to define its shape, and turn its visibility on and off by Shift-clicking on its icon in the Layers panel to view your image layer with or without its effect.
Along with or instead of a layer mask, each Adobe Photoshop pixel-based layer can carry a vector mask that limits the visible parts of the layer through a vector clipping path. This technology entered Photoshop's roster of capabilities in 2002 with the release of Photoshop 7. Unlike traditional pixel-based layer masks, which can be soft, blurred or partially transparent, vector masks always define a fully opaque visible area bounded by a hard edge. You can turn vector masks' visibility on and off in the Layers panel the same way you turn off layer masks. If you turn a vector mask into a layer mask, it replaces an existing layer mask or adds one to a layer that doesn't include one.
Adobe Photoshop's Quick Mask appears as an entry in the Channels panel rather than a layer-specific addition to a document. Capable of being edited just like a layer mask, a Quick Mask provides a temporary pixel-based visualization of a selection, one that improves on the animated dotted line called "marching ants" that appears in the document window. The Quick Mask shows partially selected areas in complete detail, whereas the marching ants only show the outlines of fully selected areas. A Photoshop document can't contain more than one Quick Mask, though you can save the selection it represents as an alpha channel or turn it into a layer mask. Quick Masks predate layer masks in Photoshop's history, going back to Photoshop 2 in 1991.
Adjustment Layer Mask
Identical to image-layer masks in every respect except the layer type to which they're applied, adjustment layer masks define which image areas are and aren't affected by an individual adjustment, including Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation, Selective Color, and the rest of Photoshop's non-destructive correction layers. These pixel-based masks extend the functionality of adjustment layers, making it possible to create a narrowly specific color correction that applies to an equally narrowly defined portion of a layer.
Any Adobe Photoshop mask can serve as a clipping mask. The technology allows a layer mask or vector mask to apply not only to the base layer on which it's saved, but to any layer above the base in the image's layer stack. Designate a mask as a clipping mask by holding down the "Alt" key (Windows) or "Option" key (Mac), and clicking on the dividing line between the base layer and the one above it in the Layers panel.

In this article, we will discuss the top 20 information technology countries in the world. However, if you want to go straight to the top five countries, you can look at the Top 5 Information Technology Countries in the World.
Information technology (IT) runs the world. This technology is essential for almost every aspect of modern life and business. For example, it provides technical support for business operations, solves complex business concerns, enables easier and data-driven decision-making, facilitates collaboration and communication, increases efficiency and productivity, and, most importantly, fosters creativity and innovation.
No wonder the value of the global IT market has seen robust growth since the early 2000s, and experts agree that it will continue to grow tremendously. For example, a MENAFN study determined that the global IT market was worth $8.179 trillion in 2022 and would reach $8.852 trillion in 2023, implying an 8.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Furthermore, MENAFN anticipates the market value to expand at a 9% CAGR between 2023 and 2025 to reach $11.866 trillion.
In the early 2000s, the global IT market derived much of the growth momentum from the internet boom. The internet spread like wildfire as the worldwide demand for IT products and services exploded. Sales of personal computers, networking equipment, e-commerce platforms, servers, web development, and software grew exponentially as governments and private sector players raced to become competitive and implement efficient operations. In fact, a Brookings Institution report asserts that the internet boom powered the global IT market to grow at an average annual rate of 10.4% between 1995 and 2004. But with the dot-com bubble and buts and the widening digital divide, the internet could no longer sustain the global IT market; something else had to come up.
The global IT market was back into the sharp growth trajectory in the 2010s, riding on the back of new technologies like cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), big data and analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). For example, big technology companies like Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) invested heavily in cloud computing technologies, leading to an explosive growth in value. According to a Gartner report, the global public cloud services market will expand 23.1% in 2023 to reach $332.3 billion. Much of the growth will come from the market’s many benefits, including cost-efficiency, innovation, security, flexibility, and scalability.
However, the benefits of this critical market have not been distributed equally across the world. Some top information technology countries in the world have seen their gross domestic product (GDP) expand tremendously as their companies spread their wings to far-off places to offer IT products and services. For example, a Statista analysis established that only seven countries control 72.4% of the global IT market as of 2022. What is more interesting is the fact that these top information technology countries claimed only 66.4% of this market in 2012. This is sufficient evidence that the information technology industry is big in only a few countries. But the question is: what are these countries? This article has the answers, so read on.
After extensive research and consultations, we developed the criteria for choosing the candidates for the list of the top 20 IT countries in the world. We started by selecting the world’s most technologically advanced countries. We defined a technologically advanced country as one that has a high quality of life, a developed economy, and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less industrialized nations. This is also the definition used by Global Finance Magazine, which provides an annual ranking of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Next, we ranked the countries based on the adoption and usage of IT solutions and applications. For this phase, we relied on World Bank’s Digital Adoption Index. Lastly, we ranked the countries based on the BECH Index 2022. The BECH Index ranks the countries according to their potential for selling B2B IT products and services. The higher the index, the more demand there is for such products and services in that country. For example, a country whose share of the index is high implies that it has a higher potential for selling B2B IT products and services than a country whose share is low. The index is based on factors such as population size, GDP per capita, internet penetration, and IT spending.

Client of The Week: Nick!
Congratulations to our Client of the Week, Nick!
I joined Jada Blitz Fitness in September of 2021. It was recommended by a friend, who was already a member. He bragged about how great the personal trainers were at this gym. I started training with one-on-one with Alex Miller and my experience has been amazing!
MY GOALS & BECOMING A PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENT
My initial goal was to have a trainer personalize a weight lifting routine for me and help me start to track macronutrients based on my personal goals. Within a couple months, I was dialed in and ready to take it a step further.
My progress in the gym has been very consistent. My body fat percent has been consistently on the decline while also putting on muscle. Currently, my goal is to continue to improve my compound lifts and consistently hit my macro goals weekly. Alex has made the process much easier by writing out a detailed routine for me to follow. He takes every session very seriously and always pushes me to my full potential. There is absolutely no short cuts with his training. Alex gives you every helpful tip to use on days you’re by yourself in the gym. What I’ve enjoyed the most about working with Alex is that we always have a few good laughs during our workout, but easily dial right back in and be serious about our training.
ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT TRYING PERSONAL TRAINING
The most valuable lesson I’ve learned is to not be discouraged in the gym. Everyone is in a completely different stage of their fitness journey and it’s important to focus on all the good habits you develop over the time spent staying consistent with your goals.
THE FACILITY & STAFF
The Jada Blitz staff are awesome! Everyone is so friendly and helpful and they always make you feel welcomed in the gym. I would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for somewhere to start and who is also looking for guidance when it comes to weight lifting and tracking macros to look into getting a personal trainer at Jada blitz.
MEET ALEX MILLER, CPT AT JADA BLITZ FITNESS
Nick has been so fun to work with because he comes every day with a positive attitude! He warms up before every one of our sessions, this has allowed him to be ready to be pushed to the next level. Nick started at Jada Blitz with little knowledge of how to lift and now he is well versed in what it takes to be successful. We have good conversations and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Even during new exercises, or personal record attempts, he goes in with a positive mindset and is not afraid to fail! He makes progress weekly and trusts in the process we have put together.
One of the best memories was just recently where Nick sent me his latest InBody scan. He has achieved and continues to progress in the definition of body recomposition. He turned over nine pounds of fat directly into muscle! This is an amazing accomplishment and speaks volumes to his dedication to his nutrition and exercise.
In order to see the greatest results with personal training, you have to put trust in your trainer and dedicate yourself 100%! Nick is at the gym multiple times a week, not just when we have a session, and that is why he has been successful. I am so excited to see what the future brings for us as we continue to push the limits in our training! | <urn:uuid:d25a2a7e-5c7f-4ad6-a841-574fe9629a1b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jadablitzfitness.com/client-of-the-week-nick-3/ | 2023-09-24T23:02:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.979347 | 724 |
A 93-year old Japanese man playing racing games on his grandson’s computer has gone viral. YouTuber Olivin Corp created a channel featuring his gearhead grandpa at the helm of various virtual cars four months ago. and the most heartwarming video — of ojisan driving a car that owned in real life decades ago — has garnered 3 million views.
That car would be a first-generation Mazda RX-7, rendered in Forza in the same silver color that grandpa’s Savanna was painted in. It was his favorite of all the cars he’s owned, and according to Olivin Corp he often reminisces about his beloved rotary.
In another video, he’s seen behind the wheel of a Subaru WRC car, Honda S2000, and a dark blue S30 Nissan Fairlady Z like the one in Wangan Midnight. The video is titled “Devil Ji” (a play on Wangan Midnight‘s Devil Z, with the ji here meaning “old man” or “grandpa”).
As Olivin Corp explains, his grandfather isn’t a gamer, but he is a car enthusiast. He was a Tokyo taxi driver in the 1960s, and then a truck driver for 20 years. As such, he chooses to play in manual mode, with a clutch and gated shifter controls, and turns off the game’s traction control. That’s hard core.
The 93-year-old voluntarily surrendered his driver’s license seven years ago, as many elderly Japanese do. The games have given him a second chance at driving classics (and some high-dollar exotics). Seeing them bring a smile to his face brings a smile to ours as well. Rock on, ojisan. | <urn:uuid:2abccbe4-e468-47ee-b777-f9ea7cb066e4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/a-93-year-old-grandpa-driving-his-mazda-rx-7-in-a-video-game-takes-internet-by-storm/ | 2023-09-25T01:04:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.968636 | 377 |
On the evening of March 16, 1957, a spacecraft landed in rural northern Virginia, witnessed by an astonished policeman. The pilot of this craft, known as the Victor One, was Valiant Thor, a resident of Venus and a representative of the High Council. After telepathically communicating the urgency of his mission to the startled policeman, an escort was arranged to deliver the alien to Washington D.C. for an urgent meeting with President Dwight Eisenhower.
Upon his arrival at the Pentagon, Val (Valiant Thor), expressed to Ike and Vice President Nixon the dire concern of the galactic community regarding mankind’s recent development of atomic weapons. Further, Val offered to provide mankind with the technology to make hunger, sickness, and even aging obsolete, if only Earth would pledge to forego its nuclear weapons programs. President Eisenhower listened but politely refused the alien’s assistance, citing that such massive leaps forward would have a negative effect on humanity. His theory was along the lines of the “teach a man to fish” philosophy, in which such profound gifts would only result in an idle and lethargic population, incapable of providing for itself. He did, however, invite Val and his crew to stay, providing them with an apartment at the Pentagon where they remained for three years, offering their sage star wisdom to our government, military, and elite scientists.
That is, if you believe the account of Rev. Frank E. Strangges, as documented in his 1967 book Stranger at the Pentagon. While not entirely without proof or corroborating witnesses, the whole story smacks of the plot to The Day the Earth Stood Still. Efforts to debunk the story would be pointless as Rev. Strangges ridiculous narrative accomplishes as much on its own. One of his more outlandish assertations was that Valiant Thor, and the planetary collective he represented, were all Christians. In fact, it was Earth’s devotion to Christ that attracted alien attention in the first place. Strangges toured the country visiting UFO conventions, holding sermons, and preaching Space Jesus until his death in 2008.
Personally, I like to believe that even the most outrageous myths and legends can trace their origins back to some nugget of truth. Case in point, there is a similar and more credible belief that Eisenhower did in fact meet with extraterrestrial beings. Note, my use of the word “credible” is relative to the fairytale of Reverend Strangges. I won’t attempt to debunk or confirm all of these stories about Eisenhower, as we don’t have the time for that here.
In this version of events, Ike met with two races of Aliens, those known as the Greys and another referred to as Nordic, presumably for their more human appearance. Three meetings took place over several months in 1954, two at Holloman Airforce Base in New Mexico and one at Edwards Airforce Base in California. The reason for the visitations were very similar to Strangges’ account, brought on by the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons. The negotiations here, however, carried darker connotations.
Depending on the source, there are varying degrees of moral alignment regarding the Greys. By all accounts, nuclear disarmament was a requirement, though some point to an ulterior motive behind the request. Regardless, Eisenhower declined to disarm. Conversely, the Nordic aliens offered their assistance dealing with the Greys, implying some interplanetary conflict. Ultimately, a treaty was agreed upon, which is still honored today. The agreement included shared technology, denial and concealment of the alien’s existence, and, more comically, the right to abduct and experiment on human subjects. A caveat to the abduction clause was that they must all be returned unharmed and their names were all to be provided to the government, more specifically, Majestic 12.
One can quickly fall down a rabbit hole chasing evidence and scrutinizing sources, but there is a nugget of truth here one can build on.
On the evening of February 20-21, 1954, the night of the alleged first alien meeting, President Eisenhower disappeared while on vacation in Palm Springs. After missing a scheduled dinner, a near panic erupted and rumors began to fly. Aids for the president interceded just short of the story reaching the AP, claiming that the President dislodged a filling and had to make an emergency trip to the dentist. Certainly, an innocuous and believable excuse. Strangely, there is more evidence to support meeting an alien ambassador than a dentist appointment.
While almost every hour of his Palm Springs trip can be accounted for, there is nothing, not even a note in his medical file, to support him ever visiting a dentist while in California. So, where was he that night? | <urn:uuid:ca151f7b-e620-48ce-a450-9202654f9bfd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jasonrobertsonline.com/valiant-thor-and-the-eisenhower-aliens/ | 2023-09-24T23:54:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.971283 | 975 |

BACKGROUND: Research productivity among academic urologists is strongly encouraged, but little data are available on productivity metrics within the field.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the first comprehensive survey of research productivity among academic urologists in the USA and Canada.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the Canadian Resident Matching Service, and individual program websites, all active accredited urology faculties were identified. For each individual, we collected data on American Urological Association section, title, gender, fellowship training, Scopus H-index, and citations. Comprehensive searches were completed during March-May 2019.
OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Descriptive statistics for demographic comparisons were performed using analysis of variance for continuous variables and chi-square test for categorical variables. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify the predictors of H-index greater than the median.
RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: A total of 2214 academic urology faculties (2015 in USA and 199 in Canada) were identified. The median and mean H-indices for the entire cohort of physicians were 11 and 16.1, respectively. On multivariable analysis, physicians in the North Central and Western Sections (vs mid-Atlantic), who were fellowship trained (vs no fellowship training), and of higher academic rank (professor and associate professor vs clinical instructor) were more likely to have H-index values greater than the median. Additionally, female physicians (vs male) were more likely to have H-index values less than the median.
CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the first comprehensive assessment of research productivity metrics among academic urologists. These represent key benchmarks for trainees considering careers in academics and for practicing physicians gauging their own productivity in relation to their peers.
PATIENT SUMMARY: In this study, we provide the first comprehensive assessment of research productivity among academic urologists in the USA and Canada. Our results help provide key benchmarks for trainees considering careers in academics and for practicing physicians gauging their own productivity in relation to peers.

The United Nations WHO pandemic treaty is an attempted power grab to usurp the Constitution and USA sovereignty by a group of corrupt unelected bureaucrats. The WHO Withdrawal Act, H.R. 79 is legislation to address this unacceptable overreach. The White House is working closely with the WHO to remove the rights of Americans which is why it’s urgent for everyone to step up now to demand our elected members of Congress stop funding and EXIT The WHO. Thank for taking a moment to add your voice to the call. -JD
Many of you have heard about the pandemic treaty being planned by members of the World Health Organization. The first draft of the treaty has been written and will be discussed this week by the WHO committee tasked with creating the document and presenting it for member vote at the World Health Assembly in May 2024. Not surprisingly, this agreement would threaten American sovereignty by dictating health policy decisions in the U.S., requiring tax dollars to flow to the WHO and other nations in the name of “preparedness” for another pandemic, and more.
What can Americans do about it?
The WHO Withdrawal Act, HR79, has been introduced in the U.S. House, and is ready to move. Click below to send letters to Congress telling them this bill urgently needs to pass, to let the White House know Americans are watching and that we will not stand by while plans are made to give up U.S. sovereignty over public health decisions.

The Sochi Olympics are underway and with every Olympic Games, I enjoy the opportunity to brag about Chinese Medicine because many of the world’s top athletes are turning to acupuncture and other treatments to keep them in gold medal winning form.
1) This year Canada’s Bronze Medal Winner used Acupuncture to help him come back after a recent injury. Mark McMorris just won the bronze medal in slopestyle at the Sochi games. He was originally one of those favored to win, but a few weeks ago he broke a rib at the X games and was having severe pain during practices. “A steady regime of acupuncture, pool training, gym work and massages got him to a point where only the hard landings hurt.”
2) Wang Qun a Chinese swimmer used cupping to prepare for her race at the 2008 Bejing Olympics. You can check out a photo of her cupping marks here.
3) My favorite twitter pal, Olympic bronze medal winner Dee Dee Trotter is a huge advocate for acupuncture. Her hometown acupuncturist accompanied her to London when she competed in the 2012 games where she won the bronze medal for the 400 meter run.
4) Windsurfer Yin Jian won China’s first Olympic sailing gold medal in 2008. She said it was the ultimate reward for years of battling constant injuries and spending long periods training away from home, reported Reuters. Yin reeled off a list of the parts of her body that had been affected by injury. “My waist, shoulder, legs and feet,” said Yin, adding she had spent every night after racing at the Games on the treatment table undergoing acupuncture and massage for muscle strains.
5) Amy Acuff is an Olympic high jumper and the London Olympics was her fifth time on the USA Olympic team. What is even more exciting (to me at least) is that she is also a licensed acupuncturist in Austin, Texas. Go Amy! Being an acupuncturist has some personal benefits for Amy. High jumpers can be injury prone and she credits some of her success in the sport to acupuncture because it is helpful for injury prevention and recovery.
6) Daniel Kowalski, Olympic Gold, Silver and Bronze medalist in swimming, made this video discussing how acupuncture was integral to maintaining his health while training for the Olympics and after. He states that acupuncture helped him recover from shoulder injuries, improved his sleep, fended off colds and flu, while enhancing his general well being. | <urn:uuid:fdf75675-ad4e-4d94-ba4e-3d0a667e8b20> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jenniferdubowsky.com/6-amazing-olympic-athletes-who-use-acupuncture/ | 2023-09-25T00:36:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.97374 | 517 |
Since publishing Not Forsaken, I’ve received many emails from survivors of abuse, betrayal, assault, and divorce, asking for prayer and advice. One of the most common requests is for more in-depth help on how to overcome the sexual anxiety and shame that now tarnishes or inhibits marital intimacy. While I could probably write a whole book on this topic, I pray this article, published today on The Gospel Coalition, encourages you or someone you know:
“Can I ask you a personal question?” she said.
“Of course,” I replied. I already knew what she was going to say. Many before her had already asked, but I was still grappling with how to answer.
She hesitated, as if bracing herself to speak words physically painful to pronounce.
“Did your dad’s sexual abuse negatively affect your romantic relationship with your husband?” she asked. “I’ve been married for 20 years, and I still can’t shake this feeling of shame and anxiety. Every time we’re intimate, I feel sick. I’m afraid something is broken in my mind. I’m afraid my trauma is hurting my husband and destroying our marriage. What should I do? How can I heal from this?”
If you’re a pastor or counselor, you’ve likely encountered similar questions. If you’re a survivor of abuse, you may have asked them yourself. The devastating trauma of abuse is incalculable. Its pervasive pain affects the most intimate aspects of life. | <urn:uuid:ecf6061d-7e21-4ccc-8752-667df4ec104b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jennifergreenberg.net/2020/02/14/sexual-anxiety-after-abuse/ | 2023-09-24T23:28:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.961347 | 328 |
