A Practical Guide for Church Building Projects
Authored by David Parker and the late Ben Harder, this book is an essential resource for pastors or building committee members embarking on their church building project. It is the result of over 20 years of experience working with many different congregations across Canada.
The book is organized into two sections: Fundraising (Money) and Church Architecture (Buildings).
Both need to be considered carefully for a successful project.
The Ebook comes in PDF format and can be easily accessed across platforms. | <urn:uuid:8fb86058-a8c1-4b4e-a75a-dcb5e2165056> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.parkerarchitects.ca/resources | 2023-09-25T00:04:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.948052 | 111 |
Before the Patriots faced off against the Ravens under the Monday Night lights, those tuned in took an unexpected, emotional trip to Simsbury, Conn. to meet a 10-year-old boy named Logan Schoenhardt.
In an E:60 special called "The Number," reporter Tom Rinaldi eloquently told Logan's harrowing story. When Logan was three years old, a tumor was discovered in his brain, and he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer.
For much of his life, Logan has been in and out of the hospital, endured multiple brain surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. Before he went in for his sixth brain surgery this March, he made a request to the surgeon to honor his idol, and his doctor agreed to do it.
Now, Logan has a "12" carved in his skull for Tom Brady.
Word got back to Tom, and he sent a video to let Logan know he was cheering him on.
Unfortunately, Logan and his family received the worst news a family could hear. Despite surgery, the tumor had again returned, and this time, there was nothing his doctors would be able to do.
Since the prognosis, Logan and his family have been crossing item after item off his "bucket list," and on Dec. 3, Logan was able to check off meeting his idol. They spent the day at Gillette Stadium, met Tom and Robert Kraft and got a special invitation to the Dec. 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams.
On WEEI's "Kirk and Callahan Show" Wednesday morning, Tom said meeting Logan was an inspiration.
"What he's done and gone through in his life is pretty remarkable ... He's fighting for his life, and I think for a 10-year-old boy, that shows you a lot of things about what he's been through, what his family's been through," Tom said. "It's great to have a profile on stuff like this because I think he's an inspirational young man, and he's certainly brought me a lot of perspective."
The 11-minute video is a must-see, powerful watch.

By Paul S. Graham
Cholera kills. Since the UN brought the disease to Haiti last year, 6,000 have died. Because this disease thrives in countries that lack potable water and sewage treatment infrastructure, it is unlikely to be eradicated soon in that country.
Cholera treatment facilities are likely to be an ongoing need in Haiti for some time to come. According to researchers at Harvard and University of California (San Francisco), the number of infections could rise to 779,000 this year. Sensibly, the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) did its part last November by setting up an 80-bed cholera treatment camp in Carrefour, and staffing it with 14 Canadian health and technical professionals, as well as local medical personnel.
However, with much fanfare, the Canadian Red Cross announced, in April 2011, that it was turning the operation over to the Haitian Red Cross. According to the CRC, cholera incidences had been reduced significantly. In the breathless, feel-good prose favoured by propagandists everywhere:
“That’s the real strength of the Red Cross,” explains Dave Batement, head of the Canadian Red Cross cholera treatment centre team. “We are training personnel from the Haitian Red Cross and giving them the tools they need to take over when we leave.”
Would that it were so . . .
In June, 2011, the Canada Haiti Action Network dispatched a small team to Haiti to gather information, gauge progress and learn how Canadians might express their solidarity. One of their objectives was to visit the cholera treatment camp in Carrefour.
This is what they went looking for.
This is what they found.
According to CHAN coordinator Roger Annis, the CRC didn’t transfer the centre; it closed it. “We met with Haitians there who told us the story,” says Annis, who added that the story was confirmed by staff at a nearby cholera treatment camp operated by Médecins Sans Frontière (MSF), who also told him of the increase in cholera cases after the CRC closed its camp.
Upon returning to Canada, Annis contacted the CRC for an explanation. Unwilling to be swayed by a few facts, the CRC spokesperson insisted that the camp was operating. Sigh . . . (insert your favourite expletives here).
Annis, and fellow delegation member Sandra Gessler, of the Winnipeg Haiti Solidarity Group, reported on their trip on September 26, 2011, in Winnipeg. As is my habit, I packed my video camera.

The Toronto Raptors are stranded in Indianapolis due to a midwest snowstorm that has prevented them from flying to Atlanta. Hawks PR man Arthur Triche tweeted about the situation earlier tonight.
The #Raptors are forced to stay in Indianapolis tonight as the weather prevents them from leaving. Here we go again...
A fierce winter storm has blanked over 2,100 miles of the United States from Texas all the way to the Northeast. The Indianapolis area was not spared the fury of this latest winter blast. Forecasters are expecting 1/4 to an inch of ice, plus a few inches of snow are expected to blanket the region on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Toronto was originally scheduled to fly to Atlanta following its loss to Indiana on Monday. That flight was cancelled as the winter storm was just beginning. The Raptors waited over five hours on Tuesday attempting to leave but were unable to do so. They will try again on Wednesday morning but at least at this point it appears it will be a long shot.
The Hawks previously had to reschedule a match up with Milwaukee when a snow storm engulfed Atlanta causing the game to be rescheduled for sometime in March. | <urn:uuid:a20cd1a2-f283-4da0-bfc8-f85bdc74bccd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.peachtreehoops.com/2011/2/1/1969485/mid-western-snow-storm-threatens-wednesdays-raptors-hawks-game | 2023-09-25T00:50:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.971979 | 234 |
Samsung unveiled their swish new Galaxy S20 with a whole stake of stack of new features, including a 64MP, AI-driven camera. What they forgot to mention, however, was that they are the latest smartphone manufacturer to ditch the headphone jack.
Apple did it first. Google, HTC, Huawei and others followed suit. Even Samsung themselves have dabbled in this minimalism before. But this time it’s their flagship–the phone that sets the standard for all of us. Android users are not happy.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my AirPods. I use them every day. But there comes a point in everyone’s day when you need to charge them and your phone at the same time.
Imagine both your phone and headphones are charging. How the heck are you supposed to have a *private* video chat? If my wireless headphones are dead, what am I supposed to do if I want to listen to music on the bus while using a power bank? These situations occur often!
Samsung is a behemoth in the smartphone industry. If whatever Apple does, Samsung follows, then whatever Samsung does, the rest of the industry follows.
This is why I am absolutely livid that this one decision will impact the rest of us, regardless of what phone we get in future.
Samsung users won’t be able to use the headphone jack drag against Apple users 😍 pic.twitter.com/VmLgkFmhkl

Plenty of times, Samsung even out-innovated Apple. Wireless charging, water resistance and curved screens were all pioneered by Samsung. They’re now ubiquitous, at least among flagship phones.
Samsung control a quarter of the smartphone market share in Australia. That might not seem huge, but it puts them second after Apple and way, waaaay ahead of literally all other Android manufacturers. Worldwide, they’re number 1, controlling almost a third of the market.
In place of a headphone jack, Samsung have given us new-and-improved, wireless Galaxy Buds+. Oh joy. I’m sure they’re great, but once the battery dies, they’re just a shiny paperweight.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 will drop on March 6. The end is nigh, my friends.
Samsung S20 no longer has a headphone jack 😔 this is a sad day
— Lanca (@LancaBC) February 11, 2020
So Samsung has removed the headphone jack? I don’t need more wires to charge up wireless earphones. That’s my last Samsung bought, new one is overpriced anyway.
— Kathy #PraiseLover (@EESprite) February 12, 2020
I think my current Samsung will be my last. I have zero interest in any phone without a headphone jack.
— Matt Rodwell (@AmazingParka) February 11, 2020
I’ll stick with my s10 plus, not ready to give up the last s flagship with a headphone Jack.

Sunday 28 April 1661
(Lord’s day). In the morning to my father’s, where I dined, and in the afternoon to their church, where come Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Edward Pepys, and several other ladies, and so I went out of the pew into another. And after sermon home with them, and there staid a while and talked with them and was sent for to my father’s, where my cozen Angier and his wife, of Cambridge, to whom I went, and was glad to see them, and sent for wine for them, and they supped with my father. After supper my father told me of an odd passage the other night in bed between my mother and him, and she would not let him come to bed to her out of jealousy of him and an ugly wench that lived there lately, the most ill-favoured slut that ever I saw in my life, which I was ashamed to hear that my mother should be become such a fool, and my father bid me to take notice of it to my mother, and to make peace between him and her. All which do trouble me very much.
So to bed to my wife. | <urn:uuid:b059707f-be43-45b1-86a1-ec0b666f53c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1661/04/28/ | 2023-09-25T00:30:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.992521 | 251 |
Thursday 19 May 1664
Up, and it being very rayny weather, which makes it cooler than it was, by coach to Charing Cross with Sir W. Pen, who is going to Portsmouth this day, and left him going to St. James’s to take leave of the Duke, and I to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier; where God forgive how our Report of my Lord Peterborough’s accounts was read over and agreed to by the Lords, without one of them understanding it! And had it been what it would, it had gone: and, besides, not one thing touching the King’s profit in it minded or hit upon.
So home to supper and to bed, finding myself pretty well. A pretty good stool, which I impute to my whey to-day, and broke wind also. | <urn:uuid:fa6c6e70-1e12-4c69-a34e-a299dfc52bde> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1664/05/19/ | 2023-09-24T23:04:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.976386 | 175 |
04 Oct New consultant takes coaching approach to helping farmers
Perrin Ag’s newest agribusiness consultant is taking a coaching approach to his role, as he hangs up his footy boots to work alongside farmers and help their businesses thrive.
Morgan Inness (26) grew up on a lifestyle block just north of Whanganui. After school, he took a gap year as a teacher in England before completing an Honours degree in Agricultural Science from Lincoln University.
Morgan’s talent for rugby then took him to Russia, where he played the sport professionally, followed by a stint at semi-professional level in Scotland. It was during his time in Scotland that he started working as an agricultural consultant. More recently, Morgan played rugby back home for Hawke’s Bay.
One thing his sporting career has taught him is that success happens when there’s a genuine partnership between people.
“With farming, it’s no different,” he says. “We can figure things out together and bounce ideas off each other. That’s why I think ‘coaching’ is a powerful way to describe what I do.”
While Morgan’s official title at Perrin Ag is “Consultant”, he sees himself as more of a coach. From his time in rugby, he knows that the people who matter most are the ones on the field making things happen. He believes the coach’s job is to guide and mentor.
“In the past, a farm consultant was expected to know all the answers. And back then, they should have known, because farming had largely remained the same for 10 to 20 years. But now, there’s so much rapid change and it’s all new to consultants and farmers alike. My first job is listening, then coaching.”
Such an approach may well prove the difference as pressure mounts within our primary industries. While Covid-19 has changed the landscape for everyone, farmers must also contend with a raft of new environmental regulations and public perception pressures. Morgan understands the implications for mental health are real.
“I get it. Being forced to change can be daunting. Many farmers are struggling. Some will tell you what they’re battling with straight away and how they need help, but many won’t. My job is to listen and understand why they do certain things. If I’m going to be useful to them, I have to start there.”
By his own admission, Morgan is something of a hybrid. On the one hand, he loves the land, but he also has a fascination with the business side of farming.
“I’ve obviously done a fair bit of practical work growing up. I was always outdoors, either on the farm or hunting and fishing somewhere. Even during school holidays, if I wasn’t working at home, I found jobs on other farms in the area.
“But what I really enjoy is the in-depth side of farming. What really drives me is helping someone achieve their goals within their farming business. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.”
Feed conversion efficiency is a specific area of expertise for Morgan and was the topic of his university dissertation. It’s also a hot topic in New Zealand’s agricultural sector as we look for ways to produce more from less.
Having worked in the UK, Morgan has an understanding of intensive livestock systems where arable crops are used to feed sheep and beef livestock.
“I realised that this type of intensification doesn’t make a positive difference to farmers’ bottom lines. I’m pretty proud of the commitment New Zealand farmers have to using pasture-based systems.”
In learning about maximising crop yield, Morgan has come full circle. Lucerne was part of his dissertation study and a crop familiar to the wider Perrin Ag team.
“I’ve got a good handle on how lucerne grows and how it needs to be managed and grazed. There is a fair bit of lucerne around, which is good, but it must be treated differently to a normal rye grass pasture.”
Morgan is adamant lucerne has a crucial role to play in the future of New Zealand farming.
“Lucerne is pretty hardy. It has a tap root which can often reach depths of 2 meters plus, which is important. As our climate gets drier, farmers are looking for pastures they can use to finish lambs or beef animals. A crop like lucerne is perfect because it’s one of the best drought-tolerant feeds around that you can get good liveweight gains on.”
For every farmer, the harsh reality is that change will continue to come. Like many industries, agriculture is in a state of flux, which demands high levels of business agility. That’s not easy, but it’s where Morgan performs best.
“I think the key is looking for opportunities within the changes. My role is to be at the forefront of any regulatory or scientific shift, so I can break it down for farmers. Then we can work out a plan together to make those changes work for them.” | <urn:uuid:8bf583eb-1979-4ad5-9e95-9fc11781de83> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.perrinag.net.nz/news-and-community/new-consultant-takes-coaching-approach-to-helping-farmers/ | 2023-09-24T23:30:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.973005 | 1,101 |
05/02/2011 Indonesia (SperoNews) – An emerging Islamic terrorist group recruits followers among university students and, through brainwashing, prepares them for suicide bombings or bomb attacks against sensitive targets, including Christian churches. It has been confirmed by the Indonesian police that the former separatist movement “NII or Negara Islam Indonesia” – the Islamic state Indonesia – has now turned into an extremist group in the network of terror. It recently orchestrated an attack on a Protestant church that only by accident, did not result in a bloodbath.
The acronym NII in the decades has become the symbol of the Muslim separatist struggle, which aims to impose Islamic law – Shariah – in Indonesia and introduce a full range of behaviors, lifestyles and patterns derived from the Arabic culture such as the beard, jilbab or the burqa. Today it has changed the face, becoming involved in the fundamentalist terror network, its leaders have adopted techniques like brainwashing to recruit young people in universities and train them to carry out attacks or bombings.
Police spokesman Amar Boy Rafly reports that the NII terrorist group arose five years ago and promotes the recruitment in schools, propagating an extremist vision of Islam. Among the objectives of the recent attack on the Christ Church Cathedral – a modern, luxurious building – at Gading Serpong, in the city of Tangerang, Banten province, about 20 km west of Jakarta. The mastermind of the massacre is 31 year old Fernando Pepi, a former student of the Islamic State University (Uin) and originally from West Java. The police stopped him on April 27 last, with his wife and seven other members of the NII.
The attackers wanted to place explosive charges in the property that is located not far from a state-owned pipeline. In recent days, a small charge exploded, but the real objective was a larger explosion capable of causing hundreds of casualties in the celebration of Easter. The material for the assassination plot was bought on the black market – at least 120 km of explosives – and, according to the terrorists, would have led to a massacre. | <urn:uuid:8329ad5f-9b05-43d3-9b6b-fb86c0cc3ae3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.persecution.org/2011/05/02/indonesia-jakarta-extremist-group-recruits-students-to-target-christians-and-introduce-shariah/ | 2023-09-25T00:43:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.953916 | 428 |
The upcoming days might include holiday parties and getting stuck in the elevator with a group of strangers. Of course, strangers are just suspects – people with whom you may do business or who might refer you to the opportunity you’re seeking.
You can’t stand quietly next to the person who holds the key to your dreams. You must connect, someone once called that networking – which is an unlovely term for meeting people and getting to know them (and vice versa).
So, given the tenets of your personal brand, consider saying:
“I read this blog on personal branding, and here’s the kind of questions it posed the day before I took off for the holidays. They’re fun to answer. Want to play?”
- If you had to spend all your vacations in the same place for the rest of your life, where would you go?
- If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
- If you could change one thing in your life, what would that be?
- If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?
- If you could change one thing to make life easier for your own gender, what would you change?
- If you could do one job in the world for one day, would you pick to do?
With that last question, you’ve created an opening for you to talk about what you would do. Make it realistic – so start with “Actually, I’m kinda glad you asked.” Then tell your best rendition of what you really, really want. Thank them for listening. Ask if they know anyone who does that – or who needs someone to do that.
So now’s the time to laugh, over-imbibe, overeat, under-exercise, finish off Santa’s leftover cookies and all the things you do when you are recovering from your holidays hangover.
Just keep mind, someone is always a sentence away or maybe a click away from doing what Santa might not have accomplished.

How to create a patch map for your synthesizer (Band-in-a-Box® for Windows)
This tutorial covers the following topics:
- How to remap the General MIDI patches and drum note numbers
- How to access higher bank patches other than the basic General MIDI patches
- How to convert a PowerTracks or RealBand .ini file, or Cakewalk .ins file, to a Band-in-a-Box® patch map (.pat file)
- Manually Creating a Band-in-a-Box® Patch map
Last updated: Thursday, 08 November 2018
There are two reasons that you may want to make a custom patch map:
- Remap (translate) the General MIDI patches (instrument numbers) and drum note numbers to the drum/patch numbers that your synthesizer uses.
- Allow access to higher bank patches other than the basic General MIDI standard patches.
Note that Band-in-a-Box® does include a number of patch maps for various synths, and there are also some other ones available for download from our website. Also, Band-in-a-Box® 2005 and higher will automatically convert a PowerTracks Pro Audio .INI or Cakewalk .INS file to a Band-in-a-Box® patch map (.PAT) file.
How to remap the General MIDI patches and drum note numbers
Most modern synths are General MIDI (GM) compatible, so it is not too likely that you will need to do this. But, if your synth is not General MIDI compatible, you may need to remap (translate) the General MIDI drum note numbers and patches to the drum/patch numbers that your synthesizer or sound module uses. For example, in the General MIDI standard, patch 1 is Acoustic Piano. If your synth has Acoustic Piano at patch 10, and a different instrument at patch 1, you need to tell Band-in-a-Box® this. We have already made custom patch maps for many non-GM synths, and these are saved as .DK files. To load in a .DK file, go to Opt. | MIDI Driver Setup, and select your synthesizer/soundcard from the pull-down menu. When you press OK, Band-in-a-Box® will ask if it is OK to load in the .DK file. If your synth is not listed in the Synthesizer/Soundcard menu, there are some additional .DK files available for download from our website. You can load these .DK files by going to Opt. | Utilities | Load Alternate Drum/Patch File.
If you need to remap the patch and drum numbers and you can't find a .DK file for your synth, you can make one yourself. Go to Opt. | Preferences and click on [Patch Map] (Band-in-a-Box® 11and earlier: Opt. | Utilities | Make a Patch Map (Basic)). Beside each instrument, type in the patch number that your particular synth uses for that instrument. Next, go to Opt. | Preferences and click on [Drum Kit] (Band-in-a-Box® 11 and earlier: Opt. | Utilities | Make a Drum Kit). Beside each drum sound, type in the note number that your synth uses for that sound.
Other settings stored in .DK files are found in Opt. | Preferences | [Channels] (Band-in-a-Box® 11 and earlier: Opt. | MIDI Channels, Options). For example, if your synth uses a channel other than 10 for drums, you can specify the channel number in that dialog.
Once you have set up the Patch Map, Drum Kit, and Channels, save your settings as a .DK file. To do this, go to Opt. | Utilities | Save Alternate Drum/Patch File. You should save your file as XXXXX.DK (where XXXXX is the name of your synth), and make a backup of this file in case you lose it. You could also save your setup as the default MYSETUP.DK by pressing the [Save] button in the Patch Map, Drum Kit, or Channel dialogs. MySetup.dk is loaded automatically when you start Band-in-a-Box®.
Another way you can make a patch map is by using Opt. | Utilities | Make an Advanced Patch Map, although this is not used very frequently anymore. Here is an example of how you would use this dialog: On the General MIDI bank (Bank 0), patch 27 is Jazz Electric Guitar. Say you have a great guitar sound in your synth on BankLSB 4, patch 27 that you would like to use in place of the General MIDI Jazz Guitar sound. You would select patch 27 from GM list on the left, enable the Advanced Settings by clicking on the checkbox, click the Bank (ctrl 32) checkbox, and enter in 4. In the same way, you could go through the list of other GM patches until you are done entering/mapping the information that you want. This will get saved to the MYSETUP.DK file. As explained above, you should make a backup of the .DK file, and save your file using Opt. | Utilities | Save Alternate Drum/Patch File. Now when you use the program, it will use the patches you like, regardless of where they are on your synth. Note that in Band-in-a-Box® 12 or higher, you must enable the Advanced settings in the Advanced Patch Map dialog whenever you launch Band-in-a-Box® and want to use the Advanced Patch Map, since by default this feature is disabled.
In summary, settings from the following dialogs can be saved in *.DK files:
- Opt. | Preferences | Patch Map.
- Opt. | Preferences | Drum Kit.
- Opt. | Utilities | Make an Advanced Patch Map.
- Opt. | Preferences | Channels.
- OPt. | Preferences | Fav. Patch.
How to access higher bank patches other than the basic general MIDI patches
There are three things that control which sound you hear on your synth.
- Program #
- Bank MSB, or Controller 0 (often abbreviated CC).
- Bank LSB, or Contoller 32 (often abbreviated CC32).
When the MIDI standard was first developed, it was only possible to select from up to 128 patches (sounds). You did this by sending a Program Change message. To increase the number of patches available on any one synth, the Bank Select command was introduced. There are two controller messages in the Bank Select command: Controller 0 (MSB) and Controller 32 (LSB). To choose a patch, you send a Bank Select controller, followed by a Program Change. Some synths require both controller 0 and controller 32 together and some require them one at a time. In general, Roland tends to use controller 0, Yamaha tends to use controller 32, and Korg will often use both or a combination of the two. You should check the documentation for your particular synth for more information.
The General MIDI (GM) standard specifies 128 patches. These are usually defined to be the 128 patches on Bank 0, while other patches are on 'higher banks'. Since both Bank MSB and LSB can be a number from 0-127, these two messages theoretically allow you to access up to 16,384 banks of 128 patches each.
If you have an instrument list for your synth, you can simply choose your patch for each track by selecting the correct Program (instrument pull-down menu) and Bank select numbers (Bank0 and LSB boxes).
If you would rather select patches on higher banks by name, you will need to use a patch map (.PAT file). To use a patch map to select patches on higher banks, first select the track (Piano, Bass, Guitar etc.) that you want to change the patch on. Then, click on the [+] button beside the Instrument pull-down menu or select Opt. | Utilities | Choose Patch from Higher Bank. In the Open File dialog, select the .PAT file that you wish to use from the BB folder and press [Open]. You can now select any patch that has been defined in the patch map.
We include some common patch maps with Band-in-a-Box®. You will find these in the main BB folder. There are also other patch maps available for download from our website. In addition, Band-in-a-Box® 2005 includes a utility which will automatically convert existing PowerTracks Pro Audio patch maps (.INI files) and Cakewalk Instrument Definition files (.INS files) to Band-in-a-Box® patch maps. To run this utility, open the 'Patches on Higher Banks' dialog in Band-in-a-Box® and press the [INI/INS...] button. If you don't find an existing patch map for your synth, you can create one yourself. You can either expand on one of the existing patch maps, or create a patch map from scratch, using a simple text editor such as Notepad or WordPad. You will need documentation for your synth that contains an instrument list.
How to convert a PowerTracks or RealBand .ini file, or Cakewalk .ins file, to a Band-in-a-Box® patch map (.pat file)
Band-in-a-Box® 2005 and higher have a feature that will automatically convert a PowerTracks Pro Audio patch map (.INI file) or a Cakewalk instrument definition file (.INS file) to a patch map you can use with Band-in-a-Box®. To use this feature, first open the Patches on Higher Banks dialog by clicking on the [+] button near the top of the main Band-in-a-Box® screen, to the right of the instrument pull-down menu. If you have not previously opened this dialog, you will be prompted to choose a .PAT file first. If none of the existing patch maps apply to your synth, you can just choose any one of them.
Once you are in the Patches on Higher Banks dialog, click the [Open INI/INS] button. In the File-Open dialog, select the file that you want to convert. If the patch map has more than one patch list, you will see them all listed. You will need to convert one patch list at a time. Normally it is easiest to have a separate patch map for each of the patch lists, however you can combine them if you wish, just by copying and pasting between the files using Notepad. The topic below will be helpful for you to understand the structure of the patch map file, however you won't need to know all of the details to combine your patch lists.
Manually Creating a Band-in-a-Box® Patch map
You can manually create a patch map by using a simple word processor, such as TextEdit. We will use the Roland SC8820 as our synthesizer example.
If you want to add comments to the PAT file you must insert a semi-colon. Here is an example:
; This is how you would add comments to a pat file.
; You can add as many comments into the file as you wish
; as long as you insert a semi-colon. It is a good idea to
; include some basic documentation - information about what
; synthesizer(s) the patch map can be used with, and what
; banks of sounds it allows you to access.
One thing you will need to know is which controller your synth or module uses to send bank changes. This information can usually be found in your synth documentation. As a general rule:
- Roland uses controller 0 (MSB)
- Yamaha uses controller 32 (LSB)
- Korg will often use both or a combination
You enter patches into your patch map using the following format:
Your first bank should consist of 128 patches. In most cases this is the GM bank which is Bank 0. You do not need a header for Bank 0 like you would with the other banks, and you only need the patch number. For other banks, you need to insert a header, such as "[Bank 1]". Below is a sample patch map. Note that in this example, Bank 0 only has 7 patches. Normally there would be 128.
; This is a sample patch map for the Roland SC8820
; The SC8820 Uses Controller 0, which is also known as MSB
17.2=Ful Organ 1
As an example, let's look at Bank 1. The first instrument is Patch number 1, Bank (MSB) 1, and the instrument name is Upright Piano.
Some synths or modules use controller 32, which is also known as LSB. It follows the same principle as above. Below is a sample patch map.
; This is an example of controller 32, as well a synth that uses
; both controller 0 and 32.
; In this case, you do not need to enter a bank header like the Controller 0 patch maps
Again the first number represents the Patch number. The second number represents the controller 0 bank number, and the third number is the controller 32 bank number.
Patch number 1, controller 0 bank 0, controller 32 bank 1.
Patch number 6, controller 0 bank 2, controller 32 bank 1.
Patch number 9, controller 0 bank 2, controller 32 bank 12.
Once you have finished creating your file, give it a name such as "MyPat.pat". "MyPat" can be any name you choose. Put your patch (*.Pat) file that you created into your Band-in-a-Box® Folder (usually C:\bb), and you are finished. If you create a patch map that is not available for download on our website, and you would like to share it with other Band-in-a-Box® users, please email the file as an attachment to email@example.com.

Sometimes besides work, family and household chores, there is simply no time for an extended visit to the gym. In addition, you often feel left alone with your exercises and problem areas and the motivation of a hobby athlete drops if the hoped for success does not materialize. In contrast, a personal trainer enables optimal training results with the help of goal-oriented workouts and close cooperation. But how does personal training actually work?
One Personal training usually begins with a detailed discussion. The trainer should first find out about current data such as the weight and height of the person exercising. Existing as well as past injuries and illnesses are of course particularly important – after all, possible physical limitations are very important for the choice of exercises. Furthermore, the customer’s sporting preferences should also be asked: Should it be workouts with equipment such as dumbbells or other, larger sports equipment? Or would the trainee prefer to train with their own body weight?
The discussion is followed by the creation of the training plan. Of the personal trainer builds on the current athletic performance level of his customer in order to create the most effective training program possible that leads to rapid progress. So you get a tailor-made training plan that is precisely aimed at your own body and the goals set. The external circumstances and conditions under which you are training should always be taken into account – thanks to flexible scheduling, even full-time working single mothers are not prevented from doing sport and doing something good for their health.
But that is with planning the exercises and drawing up a training plan P Personal training of course is far from over. The personal trainers are always present when their customers are training and make sure that all exercises are performed correctly and safely. In this way, sports injuries are much easier to avoid than with independent workouts, and no energy is invested in incorrectly executed exercises that would not be successful anyway.
The Benefits of personal training are therefore quite obvious: A detailed consultation, including a health check, enables very goal-oriented training, not least because you work with a permanent trainer who accompanies the training process over the long term and can therefore flexibly implement changes. The motivation to exercise regularly is also higher thanks to pleasantly adapted training times. In the end, personal training will achieve the goals set much faster and with more fun.

Thanks to our optimal location and our professional team, we can help you to work on your sporting goals and give you a few hours of relaxation in the middle of the daily hustle and bustle. | <urn:uuid:c69cb3c3-9b87-4f67-b2a5-3bea8242adda> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.physiotherapie-berlinmitte.de/en/personal-training-individual-targeted-training-for-the-benefit-of-health/ | 2023-09-25T00:54:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.970412 | 527 |

Working out may not be everyone’s favorite activity, but it serves the admirable purpose of improving your bodily health. Regrettably, not everyone knows how best to exercise. Some people practically waste hours in the gym by not planning correctly. In order to combat this, here are seven tips for getting the most out of your workouts.
1. Eat Right
Since it influences your body, diet is an essential component of any workout. Try to consume a lot of greens. These vegetables provide numerous vitamins and help to increase strength. However, you shouldn’t cut carbs and protein out completely. This is especially true if you do high intensity workouts. Protein helps to build muscles and carbs assist with energy. In order to consume large amounts of these without ingesting unhealthy ingredients, you can look into concentrated products like protein powder.
2. Create Goals
Doing whatever workouts suit your fancy isn’t very productive. In order to get the most out of exercise, it’s vital to set some goals. First, know what your main objective is. For many, it’s simply losing weight. However, you could be training for a certain sport or trying to bulk up. This goal will determine what parts of your body to focus on, thus allowing you to choose certain exercises. For instance, building stamina requires cardio. Once you’ve figured this out, make a plan for what your schedule will be. The time you used to spend thinking about what’s next can be eliminated.
3. Know Your Body
Everyone has a different body. This isn’t just in terms of your visual figure. Your physical capabilities will differ from others, which means that your workouts should also be unique. Your body may simply be unable to withstand intense cardio or weight lifting. Take the time to figure out what works best for you. Most importantly, make sure you know your own limits. While pushing yourself is important, you don’t want to harm your body in the process.
4. Develop Each Exercise
Becoming comfortable with a workout, while tempting, isn’t going to maximize your gym time. After completing an exercise multiple times your body may become used to it. By sticking with the same routine, the movements will become less helpful every time. Therefore, it’s important to increase the intensity of your workouts. Start off at a tame level to ensure safety. Once it begins feeling normal, make the workout increasingly harder each time.
5. Stay Safe
Everyone wants an effective workout, but no one wants to get injured in the process. Whatever you do, don’t let your ambition blind you to basic safety measures. One thing to keep in mind is water. Workouts cause copious amounts of sweat, which means that your body loses water. Replacing this loss by drinking helps to maintain your regular performance level and reduce the risk of heat stress. What’s most essential is stopping when necessary. If you feel close to fainting, sit down and breathe.
6. Get Sleep
Sleep is a necessity for any activity, but workouts have a particular need for it. Running on very little sleep will sap your energy and brain power. You will almost undoubtedly have a less effective session if you’re tired. Since sleep deprivation lowers rationality, it can also become dangerous. Therefore, it’s vital to make a sleep schedule. Try to get seven to nine hours of rest each night.
7. Stretch Before and After
The state of your muscles is a major indicator of a workout’s success. If each one is tight, your body will be far less pliable and ready to move. You’re also likely to pull something and become injured. Ergo, it’s key to stretch before and after a workout. Stretching before helps to enhance the session, but stretching after is equally important. Otherwise, your muscles may become stiff and painful. You could also lose the progress you just accomplished.
The last thing anyone wants is a purposeless workout. If you’d like to avoid wasting your time in this way, it’s essential to focus on your routine. If you follow these tips and stay conscientious, your workouts may improve in no time.

Supported projects on water
The Pictet Group Foundation’s engagement in this field aims to support similar goals as the Group’s thematic water investment strategy, which focuses on companies that help provide safe water for the growth and health of society.
An essential resource for all
WWF - Rivers of Food | How healthy rivers are central to feeding the world
Pictet Group Foundation supported the study by WWF, analysing four critical components of food production that rely on rivers: freshwater fisheries and aquaculture, deltas, irrigation, and flood recession agriculture. The study highlights the considerable value that rivers provide in terms of nutrition and food security. Preserving the rich biodiversity found in and around rivers and managing the resources of these fragile ecosystems is essential, given the challenges regarding access to water and healthy nutrition.
Water For People | Reaching Everyone Forever in Guatemala
Water For People promotes the development of universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation services sustained by strong communities, businesses, and governments. In Guatemala, Water For People implements community managed piped water supply systems, capacity building activities for government and community partners, and improved sanitation infrastructure and hygiene education to ensure that every school, health clinic, and household has access to reliable WASH services, even in the most vulnerable and hard to reach communities.
SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation | Clean Rivers in Brazil
For the past 30 years, the SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation (SOSMA) has been working to protect and restore the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest), a primary forest that stretches along the coast of Brazil. One of SOSMA’s strategies is to set up water conservation schemes and improve water quality, thus making a holistic contribution to conserving and restoring a unique ecosystem which is vital to fauna, flora and human beings. The foundation recruits volunteers to monitor the quality of the rivers in the Atlantic Forest. It regularly publishes the results, to alert both the public and the government. Groups of volunteers set up local solutions to preserve rivers and improve water quality: protecting springs, sowing seeds around springs, and organising plastic collection points for community use.
WaterAid | Foundations for the Future in Nepal
WaterAid was founded by British water companies in 1981 to bring sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to the world’s poorest and most marginalised communities. Access to clean water and to decent sanitation improves health and life expectancy, keeps girls in education and unlocks the potential of entire communities. In Nepal, WaterAid aims to create a blueprint for future infrastructure and improved water security in remote and difficult terrain. WaterAid helps communities lobby their local governments to improve their service provision, while also training community members to maintain the service and pass their skills on to future generations.
Africa Water Solutions | Access to clean water in rural Uganda
Africa Water Solution improves access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructures in rural communities of Uganda. Africa Water Solutions trains the local population and facilities staff (schools and health centers) to adopt best practices of hygiene, water-harvesting, handwashing and water disinfection solutions in the long run. | <urn:uuid:bc913f59-8acf-4e0d-a1de-b428a88258de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pictet.com/bs/en/responsible-vision/pictet-group-foundation/water-projects | 2023-09-24T23:20:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.920064 | 646 |

M-CORE vs. Moentrol
For decades, Moen built their bath and shower systems off the backbone of Moentrol valves. In 2020, Moen announced that their engineers have overhauled their entire rough-in system with M-CORE valve technology. The first thing anybody wants to know is how M-CORE vs. Moentrol shakes out. Next, they want to know what this means for contractors and homeowners.
What Is the Difference Between M-CORE and Moentrol?
There are many distinctions between the two lines, but maybe the most pronounced is that M-CORE mixing valves do not come with a cartridge. This may sound like nothing, but it's actually a game-changer. It means that the contractor can install the mixing valve without limiting the future homeowner's options for trim installation and replacement. Another thing that is probably obvious but maybe needs mentioning is that the new cartridge assemblies are different than Moentrol's. With regard to M-CORE transfer valves, the cartridge does come with the valve just like you'd typically expect.
Moentrol mixing valves allowed for up to 3 functions, while M-CORE offers up to 6 functions (3 independent and 3 shared). In other words, you can connect up to three showering devices and run each independently, or any combination of two at a time. Is it still confusing to you? Check out this graphic:
Now let's get to the part that contractors are most excited about:
Installing Moen M-CORE Valves
The engineers at Moen set out to make a valve design with the installer in mind. This led them to create a superior solution with so many selling points we may be forgetting some. M-CORE valves offer:
A mounting bracket that allows for flat installation.
Perfect alignment between the mixing outlet and transfer inlet
Options for all connection types
Pre-fabricated options with the tub el sweat connection already done.
A smaller profile for more room within 2x4 framing
Flexibility for thin and thick wall mounting (allows for +/- 0.25" of variability).
Precise temperature limit adjustment.
Is Moen Phasing Out Moentrol?
The quick answer is yes and no. Everything is moving to the new valve platform, but Moen is still taking measures to keep old school homeowners and industry professionals happy. They are continuing to make valve trim that will work with Moentrol valves. That way, if you don't want to replace the rough-in when the trim needs replacement, you can get away with a simple solution. Moen will continue to make Moentrol-compatible trim selectively from the following collections:
Align (Moentrol valve only, valve with transfer, transfer only)
Kingsley (Moentrol valve only, valve with transfer, transfer only)
M-DURA (transfer only)
Voss (Moentrol valve only, transfer only)
So, if you're in the market for an updated shower system, then buy M-CORE valves here at PlumbersStock.
Save on M-CORE Valves
We are proud of our partnership with Moen. Though we offer some of the lowest prices on the web for many fixtures, parts, and accessories, in some cases, Moen does not allow us to advertise sale prices on certain items. If you find a valve that we have listed at the same price as everybody else, contact us directly to see about possible special pricing. We want to give you the best deals while complying with our advertising agreements. If you are a contractor buying in bulk, we can do even better! | <urn:uuid:ef097cf8-c1f1-47b1-8f99-1d94e5f4e6f4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.plumbersstock.com/how-to-plumb/m-core/vs-moentrol.html | 2023-09-24T22:59:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.951331 | 808 |

Last week's point values post by Clydesdale put a few thousand volts of excitement into the community here, so it seems, in anticipation of our inaugural, never-tried-before, season-long Virtual Directeur Sportif competition. Well, that was a few days ago, and not much has happened besides some banter, so here's a short process check.
The deadline for submitting teams is March 1!
Now, with some basic math and internet skills, you could put together a team in as little as 10 minutes, so that's actually a fair amount of time. It also means we can't include the Tour of California in the points, which is just as well, lest everyone load up on CSC riders. [Hm...]
Rules: You can start picking your team now, based on the information that's been given out so far. But the formula has some tinkering left, which I plan to nail down by Thursday morning with Clydesdale. So if you're picking your squad, don't turn it in til you get the final rules. Check the previous thread for some idea of the possibilities.
Tech: Clydesdale has designed a Google Spreadsheets form where all our teams could be lodged in one place. This is an important development... we want to follow along, but Clydesdale has a life outside calculating rider point totals. Do people object to Google Spreadsheets? You'd need a Google login to work with it. Take the attached poll to let me know if this works for you.
That's it for now. Look for an announcement Tuesday or Thursday finalizing details (I'm out Wednesday), but don't wait til then to get cracking. | <urn:uuid:7eb90369-a38f-43f7-bba8-45b26ba4ba97> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.podiumcafe.com/2007/2/13/21411/8248 | 2023-09-25T00:23:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.968002 | 345 |

Urszula Glensk is a professor of documentary literature and literary criticism at the University of Wrocław’s Institute of Journalism and Social Communication. This piece was translated by Soren Gauger.
Hajnówka, POLAND — We’re sitting in a bright, cozy kitchen in a house on a peaceful street lined with pre-war wooden buildings in the Polish town of Hajnówka, near the border with Belarus. A young woman named Anna K. calmly relays to me what she saw in the forest — and then, she bursts into tears.
A moment later, she gets a hold of herself and says: “Don’t think we’re a bunch of crybabies from the woods. We really are coping here; we’re collecting things, creating a network, trying to do what we can, but it’s too much to bear, to watch. People are dying in the forest, and the Polish state offers no help apart from bringing in more troops, rounding them up and carting them back to no-man’s-land. And if we reach those people, what can we give them? A thermos of tea, some warm clothes, then leave them in the darkness and cold?”
The border here is dominated by a forest that stretches into both Poland and Belarus. Sparsely populated and a natural reserve, this primeval wood is now also the site of growing geopolitical and humanitarian crisis — a trap in which thousands of refugees from Iraq, Syria and Yemen now find themselves.
You may like
No one knows how many of them there are, but they were lured here by Belarusian travel bureaus, aided and controlled by the government of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. The agencies are middlemen, organizing migrant trips from the Middle East, promising passage to the European Union. They demand fees of up to $15,000.
The migrant’s journey begins with a flight to Minsk; airport photographs show groups of these passengers in shorts and T-shirts. The next step is to set them up in state hotels managed by the regime, and a dozen or so hours later, they are transported to the forest at the border between Belarus and Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
There, “border guards violently shove them past the border fence. Some migrants we saw had their faces sliced with barbed wire,” says Anna K. “We have amateur films showing how the Belarusians drive the migrants forward. The border guards stand there with snarling attack dogs in full battle gear.”
After crossing the border into the EU, the migrants then press on through the forest, a muddy, swampy mire in many places, with no paths, just endless “frozen jungle.”
“It’s indescribable what’s happening,” says one local inhabitant and charity worker. “This is a special forest. I’ve lived here all my life, but I’ve never slept in the forest. Those people are going to have trauma for the rest of their lives if they manage to survive. In Greece, they went through similar things, but here, at this time of year. . .”
October here is very cold. Even when the weather’s fine, the sun does not warm you, and the evenings are dreadful — dark and cold. The nights are freezing. At any moment, the temperature cold drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, in Poland the migrants are tracked by border guards, police, army and the Territorial Defense Force. There are now so many armed forces in the Hajnówka region that practically every other car on the road belongs to law enforcement. Their aim is to catch people, cart them away and push them back into Belarus.
To do this, they are using a pushback procedure that was “legalized” by a minister’s ordinance, followed by legislation passed in mid-October. A series of amendments to the law have since been introduced, but these changes involve breaking both the Polish constitution and a whole range of international conventions. The “legality” of this act is “legality only within the scope of this act, period,” said Krzysztof Pyclik, a lawyer.
At the same time, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s government has set up an information blockade, barring journalists’ access to the 3-kilometer strip of land by the border. The area has been cut off from the rest of Poland, and a state of emergency has been declared. It is entirely off-limits to anyone who is not living there, registered as a resident or has obtained a special pass.
“We have no access to the off-limits zone, we can’t hand over aid packages ourselves,” says a Polish Red Cross worker from the border area.
“We’re a part of this parceled off, isolated world,” says Kamil Syller, a lawyer who started the Green Light project, an initiative that organizes people to put green lights in their windows to signal homes where refugees can discreetly find help and not be handed over to the police.
All information concerning the situation on the border is currently controlled by the government, which has been employing techniques of manipulation and propaganda. Endlessly pumping out a few familiar images, the government has portrayed Lukashenko’s regime as a destabilizing agent that is solely responsible for this catastrophe.
It has also glorified the efficiency of the Polish state, border guards and Territorial Defense Force. The images it offers show either armed officers standing in front of barbed wire strung along the border, or nocturnal thermal images of drone footage, displaying white dots on the move, like enemies in a computer game.
“In the state propaganda, the refugees are dehumanized and society grows accustomed to the government breaking the law and principles of ethics,” says Grzegorz Gauden, creator of the Book Institute, a national cultural organization.
Back and forth
At present, there are 17,000 officers guarding the Polish side of the border, and they are tracking down refugees who come near human settlements. Polish forces are also staging ambushes in the forest.
Anna K. says: “The suffering and terror here can only remind you of wartime. We are witnessing scenes like out of a war. But at least in a war, things are clear. This is worse than a war because here, half the society denies what’s going on, what’s taking place. They think it’s all a big sham, that there are politics behind it. People comment on the refugees’ situation by asking, ‘Why did they even leave home, why take their children?’”
The local community is among the poorest in Poland. The average inhabitant of Dubicze is 65 years old. The local inhabitants practically do not leave their homes, the streets are quite empty. Residents here mainly watch government-supported television, as the slow signal of independent television is too weak, and few can afford satellite television.
“Half of the local residents have an aversion to the refugees because they are manipulated by the hatred towards migrants from the Middle East in the public television and Radio Maryja propaganda, and they have no access to other media,” says a local social worker.
The local community is convinced that if they see a refugee, they must call the police. The person who told me this was unable to say if she had heard the information from an official source. “Everyone knows it, everyone says the same thing,” she adds.
A farmer from the Hajnówka region says of the refugees: “I’m seventy years old, and I’ve never seen the likes of it, they’re treating them like animals. The day before yesterday, they pulled them from an empty hut and sprayed them with gas. They’re torturing those poor people.” When asked why the border guard puts up no resistance, he says, “They’re afraid of losing their jobs. There’s no other work around here.”
In the zone just outside the state of emergency, joint police and border guard patrols are set up every dozen or so kilometers along the roads. If someone gets caught, and it is hard to imagine otherwise with such a tight network of checks, they are taken back to the Belarusian border and pushed across. No requests for asylum or pleas of starvation are any good.
Border guard cars also drive through vacated villages, then turn into the forest to drive to the frontier — not at the official crossing, but directly into the forest. Barbed wire is often found in these regions, as razor fences were stretched out practically all across the Polish side in mid-August. Behind the wires are white and red poles, then a cleared strip of land stretches for 10 or more meters, leading up to red and green poles on the Belarusian side, beyond which is another barbed-wire fence.
The migrants are pushed through in places where the razor fences have yet to be installed. They are pushed into that 10-meter strip of land between the lines. When asked where people are taken in the forest, Polish border guards curtly respond that they are left at the Belarusian border. They are officially prohibited from saying anything more.
On the other side, encountering Belarusian border guards could mean being beaten. They are sometimes robbed of their mobile phones, and the icy nights mean they are sentenced to die of cold and starvation.
The state of these refugees is desperate — I have seen it with my own eyes. They hide, they lay on the ground . . . A group of them were eventually spotted because a young boy was moving his hand, and the rhythmic movement was noticed between the trees. This is the way we found a group of Iraqi Kurds, including two children — an eight-month-old girl and a two-year-old boy — near the village of G.
They were afraid to get up off the ground and begged us not to call the police, whispering, “They kill us.” The infant was very still, though not asleep. Their faces were blank. They looked like wax figures, even though one woman’s face was covered in bruises. One man’s jacket was strangely torn around his shoulders, reminding us that on the Belarusian side, they are using dogs, as Iwona, a volunteer and resident from the village of N. has reported.
The migrants from Iraq told us their story: In October, they were “pushed back” to the border by Polish guards. There, they were stuck, guarded on either side by Belarusians and Poles. They finally managed to escape by paying off a guard. At the border, they could not move and received nothing to eat or drink. They drank from puddles or rainwater. Asking the guards for milk for the baby was in vain.
In an interview given two hours after the group was found in the forest, Jiwan J., born in 1993 and the mother of two children, reported: “The third time, we spent only two days in Poland, and the Polish guard caught us and we [were pushed back] to the border. And they said, ‘Go back to Belarus.’ Then, the Belarusian soldier said, “No, no, go back to Poland.’ On the border, when the water was finished, my brother went to the Polish soldiers and asked for some. We had none left. Every day we asked for water. They say said, ‘No, no, no.’”
State of emergency
“Some refugees,” says Anna K., “have been taken to the border a dozen times. They have been wandering back-and-forth for a month and a half. I ask every refugee I meet if they have been ‘pushed back.’ Only one person has avoided this procedure because they managed to escape. The people on the border will have no help throughout the winter.”
The volunteers are operating in an area that isn’t covered by the state of emergency and are trying to help those in the forest. They say that the refugees are freezing; they are succumbing to hypothermia and are shaking from fear and cold. The children are having reactions similar to epilepsy attacks. They are all soaked through, as they have been hiking through wet, swampy ground, avoiding the roads.
Asked why they couldn’t set up camp in the wilderness and put up tents, one volunteer worker responds that this would make it easier for them to be tracked and caught by border patrols. “When you go to give them help, you look around. Make sure no one sees you, or you might have some officers tailing you,” she adds.
In the hospital in Hajnówka, there is a boy from Somalia who watched his two brothers freeze to death. Anna K. says, it’s “impossible to say where it happened, because he can’t point out the spot. No newspaper has written about him because he’s in bad shape. Apparently, he’s losing contact with reality. He often asks, ‘but where am I?’”
She also tells the story of a 32-year-old lawyer from Egypt: “Ibrahim flew to Moscow, and he was supposed to have a plane from there to Brussels, but he was tricked. He ended up in Belarus. The border guards advised, best to sail down that river. Ibrahim drank water from the river and ate dates, carefully portioned out. He went six days without warmth or normal food. He wound up in the hospital in Hajnówka. He had been sailing with two friends, but they were nabbed and carted off to the strip of no-man’s-land.”
The refugees reach the hospital in a state of extreme exhaustion. Medics on the Border, a group of doctors with an ambulance, are operating in the open area — but they are not allowed in the off-limits zone. When asked how they can be helped, they say, “We need passes to the zone.” But this is impossible.
Volunteer doctors are currently helping the refugees in the forest. If their lives are in danger, they cannot take them to the hospital themselves. Instead, they hand the patient over to a state ambulance, which then takes them to the hospital.
On this particular day, the ambulance used by Medics on the Border shows up twenty minutes after receiving the call from the group from Iraq. Highly professional and sensitive, the doctors explain as much as possible to avoid increasing fear. The sick, bruised woman is immediately hooked up to a drip.
Iwona, the local volunteer, says that today they did an ultrasound of a woman who is eight months pregnant. The volunteers say that when they tried to call a public ambulance through the emergency number, the dispatchers refused to send anyone. The Podlachia emergency services will not confirm this information, however, and state that they bring help to anyone “whose life is in danger.”
Those who make it to the hospital in Hajnówka do receive professional and dedicated medical care. Yet the hospital is rigorously guarded by border guards, and as soon as someone’s health is restored, the guards take them back to the border and leave them in the forest. The medical personnel’s efforts to protect the patients are in vain, and the officers unconditionally prohibit hospital workers from giving interviews to the media.
In the place where the Iraqis were found, a volunteer comes around right after Medics on the Border, wanting to help in any way they could. About an hour later, several others from the Polish Border Group come to assist. It is impressive how they have managed to organize themselves in the course of just three months. They brought all the gear needed for warmth, clothes and food — all properly marked and organized.
The Border Group also brings the documents needed to apply for asylum, and it is legally prepared to conduct this process. Applying for asylum in Poland is risky, however. It forces migrants to show themselves, and the chances of being accepted are slim. The government is fiercely determined to send them back to the border. There is a greater chance of asylum procedures working when the media is there — television cameras in particular.
The group of Iraqis applied for asylum. They were then taken to a border guard station, and at 8:00 pm, there was internal information that they were in danger of being deported to the border. Within twenty minutes, volunteers and those who were legally conducting their asylum application appeared at the station. Their situation is touch and go, but they were able spend one night in a warm space — under arrest.
If a bureaucrat in Warsaw rejects their plea for asylum, this seven-person group of migrants will be sent back to the border, including the two children — the eleven-month-old Zheela Ashti and two-year-old Siraj Ashti — where they will be subject to the pushback procedure. They will be carted off to a place where they will have no water, nor any shelter from the freezing cold or rain.
Later, driving around the area, a wooden building in Narewka grabs my attention. It looks like a house from before the war, and there hang massive, enlarged photographs of Jews who lived there until the Holocaust.
From the front, from the street, the photographs show them in their normal lives, posing for the photographer in their best clothes: an elderly couple hugging, a three-person Orthodox family, a girl in a polka-dot dress with bows in her hair, a dainty young girl is holding the purse of a grown-up woman and smiling hesitantly, looking right into the lens. On the side of the building is one that shows black figures walking down the main street of the town. . .
I take pictures of the pictures. I stand there a moment, in dark rumination. I am finally yanked out of my daze by an all-terrain vehicle rumbling by. Refugees are being transported — the border guard station is just 400 meters from the house.
I am quite unable to fathom the course of this history.

In the face of adversity and trying times, it is always an encouraging sight to witness those who press forward and beat the odds. Solaris Beer & Blending in Murrieta, California, is one of such stories. Though they have no tasting room and are still under construction, the brewery was able to put the proper licensing in place in the midst of a pandemic. And despite having limited weekly releases as their sole income, the quality of Solaris’s offerings are nearly unparalleled, especially given the size of their operation.
One of the first beers Solaris released was Pink Flowers – Rose Petals, part of their Sour & Flower series. This sour golden ale was brewed with rose petals, Turkish apricots, kumquats and conditioned on French oak.
February 8 marked the much anticipated Brewbies Festival at Bagby Beer in Oceanside, CA. For 11 years, the Brewbies organization has worked to bring breweries and the public together in support of breast cancer awareness. Working with the Keep a Breast Foundation, the festival has donated more than $540,000 to breast cancer research to date.
Every year that a brewery makes a thriving success of brewing more amazing beers, it is an accomplishment not only for themselves, but also for the industry and their patrons. Karl Strauss Brewing Co in San Diego, California, celebrated its 31st anniversary with their Changing of the Barrels event. This anniversary party not only features their flagship lineup but of course also highlights some superb beers that have been sleeping in barrels, awakened specifically for this moment
Of all of the beer events that are out there today, only a handful are as important and meaningful and well as educational as Brewbies. Started just about 11 years ago by Melanie (Mel) Pierce, it was the idea to help the community become more educated about breast cancer and checking for early signs while you get to support research foundations fight against the big C. (while of course drinking some rad brews!)
When it comes to beer collaborations, Karl Strauss Brewing has been killing it in the past year. With collaborations like Russian River and Alesmith, not to mention the many others, Pure Project was a welcome addition to their Collaboration Line up with Murky Poetry, a Hazy IPA.
120 Minute IPA has been on my white whale beer list for a while, up there with Utopias and Pliny the Younger. So when I happened to find a bottle at random in a liquor store near my house, I was extremely surprised and needless to say I bought it immediately. Being I’m on the opposite side of the country from where its made, it’s a rare find for me at least.
For nearly every beer nerd or active barhopper, they have at least one type of beer-based application on their phone. In most cases, it’s Uptappd, as it’s easily the most downloaded and widely used beer application. But there are others worth taking note of, including another big name, Taphunter. And with the influx of so many craft breweries, it’s hard to keep track of everything. This is where the OpenTap app is trying to change the game a bit. This particular application focuses on only California breweries, so we reached out to the founder to learn more about his unique perspective.
With the enormous multitude of breweries in California, not including some of our other states in the Pacific region, it comes as no surprise this was a hard list to …
Few breweries have the storied past of Anchor Brewing in San Francisco, California. Brewing beer since 1896 and bought by Fritz Maytag in 1969, Anchor has been a staple in brewing history for more than a century. One of their longest-running beers is the seasonal Christmas Ale, available from November to early January.
Sunday November 10th’s festivities at Arroyo Terrace of the Lodge at Torrey Pines were the close of this year’s San Diego Beer Week. There were a variety of events at breweries across San Diego to celebrate this year’s event, as well.
The beer scene has changed in San Diego, but the local guild tries to make sure to maintain a “we’re all in this together” community. I discussed some of the reasons why guilds are important to the local brewing scene with San Diego Guild President Matthew Zirpolo.

The Stone DRK Beer Fest was set to kick off right at 6 p.m. The grounds of the Stone gardens is beautiful, tranquil and primal. Rocks and boulders are everywhere with the natural landscape coming through between the ponds and small brooks. On the site there are multiple tasting booths, some serving straight from bottles, other serving from keezers and kegerators, and of course one of the bars.

While searching the aisles of my local beer store, I thought about what types of beers do people want to hear about? Stout season is coming, and so is porters, browns and the big guns like barleywines and barrel-aged everything. But, not everyone likes those types of beers. So what are some easy drinkers that many people will enjoy but don’t see this time of year? The selection of sours I tried was on point, and I quickly realized how many interesting smaller sours are not that tart, but people will set it aside for the simple reason of what section it is. So here’s a list of delicious brews that only have a little acidic bite, but pack a great amount of flavor!
Baby Sips, a “pastry stout,” is a new Imperial Stout from Resident Brewing, in collaboration with Moksa Brewing and Mostra Coffee. This is a very limited release of only about 350 bottles. There will also be a release party on Friday, November 1st where the collaboration will be on tap for patrons to try out!
There is nothing better for the local community of beer lovers in San Diego than San Diego Beer week! Although advertised as a “week,” this year it will take place over the course of 10 days, November 1-10, all throughout San Diego. For the most comprehensive list of events, pairings, beer releases and dinners, go to the SDBW website, but here we’re going to be talking about some of the cool events happening, where they will be and then you can decide which ones you are going to try and make!

In 1999, Learn To Homebrew Day was established by the American Homebrewers Association to promote the most rewarding, and delicious activity of all time — homebrewing. This is what is written on the AHA’s website about this event. It is a day that many homebrewers the world around have come to their local homebrew stores or friends or even the internet to learn the hobby that you can literally drink to!
This past weekend was one of the most highly rated beer festivals in Southern California: Collabapalooza. The ethos of the beer festival is a sense of community within the beer industry–in most cases, all of the breweries involved were friends with each other and the brewers were all trying each other’s beer while talking shop. As we got to talk to several breweries in the preview article on the beers they were bringing, we got to experience the selection of a ridiculous tap list contributed by all the breweries. Here are some standouts.
Collabapalooza is one of the top-rated beer festivals in southern California.

Afton, Va., is nearly 140 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., sitting among the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. But the town’s Blue Mountain Brewery’s beers are creeping north into the Beltway, slowly expanding into the region.
The DC Improv Comedy Club decided it would bring DC Brau into its bar taps to happily fuel the crews and attendees of its late-night shows and support the local brew. Being creative souls, The DC Improv team wanted to have some fun with this effort.

The Hopped Up Hilarity event on Sept. 16 will not only debut pints of DC Brau (starting with The Corruption, an IPA with a 6.5% ABV), but will also feature drinking stories. Funny drinking stories. From amateurs.
There were just too many. There were too many beers, too many happy hours and too many educational events for PorchDrinking.com to even pretend to keep up. DC Beer Week was a huge success and here’s what we loved most!
The DC crew of PorchDrinking.com actually doesn’t get together terribly often; you all know that we’re important young professionals who wine and dine on K Street each evening. When we do get together, notably to welcome a new writer (hi, Emily Gallt!), we sip and taste beers, both old and new favorites.

We recently met at Penn Commons, a great restaurant and bar in Chinatown that boasts a solid beer list. It was a sweltering day, so we were aching for anything to cool us down. Here’s our picks.
It’s been more than four years in the making — well, more like 99 years, if you look at it literally. Portner Brewhouse announced its location in Alexandria, Virginia this month and plans to open its doors in June 2016.
A pair of sisters, Catherine (Cat) and Margaret Portner, will resurrect a piece of family and local brewing history when they open their brewery, restaurant and craft beer test kitchen next summer.
It keeps growing and growing and growing. The 2015 DC Beer Week looks to be bigger and better organized than ever. The event first started in 2008 (here’s our 2013 coverage) and is run by a slew of who’s who in the DC beer world.
It starts Aug. 9 and runs through Aug. 16. Events are spread throughout the city and the team wisely compiled a list of “hot spots,” bars and breweries that will offer multiple events throughout the week, like ChurchKey, RFD and Bluejacket.
Beer lovers daydream of quitting their day jobs, changing their careers and getting started in the brewing world. Become a brewer or a bar owner or a distributor — anything where you taste, sip and enjoy beer all day long.
Beth Helle and Julie Drews are doing it.
Yes, be jealous. Well, sort of (no surprise, it’s a lot of work).
Beth chatted with PorchDrinking.com about the new beer, wine and homebrew store she and Julie are opening in Alrington, Va. After hours of consideration, months of saving and piles of research, The Brew Shop will open this fall with a heavy focus on all things locally sourced.
The goal: Find a homebrew among the 20-some applicants that best imitated the spirit of Atlas’s Rowdy beer, the hop-forward rye ale that was originally created from a homebrew recipe.
The last Thursday in February came and went in Washington, D.C., just as it did elsewhere across the rest of the United States. But Feb. 26, 2015, was a notable date among the residents of the District for one particular number: 71.
This was the day Initiative 71, which legalized the possession of certain amounts of personal marijuana, was implemented by the city. Whatever regulatory views individuals residents of the District actually hold, this initiative’s implementation furthered support of “home rule,” which is the concept that D.C. residents should govern their own affairs, without full federal interaction.

A beer inspired by an electronic synthpunk musical duo? The concept is not a complete surprise, as it comes from Right Proper Brewing Company‘s Nathan Zeender and the growing establishment‘s experimental brewing program. But the beer; Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne; is definitely a surprise to the palate, as it comes during the East Coast’s single-digit February temperatures. Why was Zeender inspired by Suicide? Why did Right Proper brew the crisp wheat beer? | <urn:uuid:c6815edc-ec73-439b-a114-eddbb343b32b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.porchdrinking.com/articles/author/stacey_goers/page/3/ | 2023-09-25T00:21:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.957955 | 1,048 |
A delegation of Mexico’s top trade representatives visited the Port of Hueneme on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, to strengthen their longstanding trading partnership. Led by Mr. Roberto Velasco Alvarez, Director General for North America and acting Undersecretary for North America at Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the delegation was welcomed with a socially distanced port tour and roundtable discussion of expanding and supporting trade between the Port and Mexico.
“Our on-going trading partnership with Mexico continues to grow, from the establishment of a Sister Port relationship with Port of Ensenada in 2015, to supporting trade through our various local customers importing and exporting cargo between our two great countries,” said Oxnard Harbor District President Jason Hodge. “We are committed to supporting the growth of this fruitful partnership.”
“The Port of Hueneme’s top imported and exported commodities by value with Mexico are passenger and commercial vehicles. With the increase of auto manufacturers relocating to Mexico, the Port anticipates growth from imports of passenger and commercial vehicles via short sea shipping,” said Kristin Decas, CEO & Port Director. “Mexico remains our top trading partner at 20% of our tonnage market share, and we look forward to continuing this strategic partnership.” In addition to passenger and commercial vehicles, Hueneme also imports bananas, plantains, avocados, pineapples, heavy construction machinery, and tractors from Mexico.
The Port’s strong relationship with Mexico has enabled the local community to thrive, attracting companies including Chiquita, Del Monte, and Mission Produce to provide family-sustaining jobs for the community. | <urn:uuid:766591ed-9b4a-4fa9-9fee-ecd58d675dbc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.portofhueneme.org/port-strengthens-trade-with-top-partner-mexico-delegation-visits-the-port/ | 2023-09-25T00:43:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.93591 | 348 |
This healthy fried apple recipe is a yummy dessert that the whole family will love and it only has a very small amount of sugar in it and is very very easy. Plus it’s a great use for stale apples. Our kids LOVE it when I make this as a side dish or for an after dinner treat. It can be served with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. We’re dairy free at our home, so we just serve it as is.
This recipe was made in an enameled French Dutch oven. I can’t say enough good things about this pan! It cooks like cast iron, but is so much easier to clean and has a healthy non-stick coating. I use it for just about everything from frying meat to steaming vegetables to making soup. Make sure to use a plastic or wooden spoon on your dutch oven so the coating doesn’t scratch. If you don’t have a dutch oven, just make it in a frying pan.
- 5 apples (any kind is fine, we like fuji)
- 2 T. butter
- 2 T. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- Core and chop apples into medium bite sized pieces. It is not necessary to peel the apples. Melt butter in a large enameled French dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped apples and the remaining ingredients. When mixture boils, stir and reduce heat to medium low and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Attacking Anxiety and DEPRESSION
How do you go about attacking anxiety and depression? Well, first of all, many negative things are happening all around us. Surely this from time to time produces negative feelings and attitudes in all of us.
However, if overwhelming negative feelings last most of the day, nearly everyday, for at least two weeks this could be a sign of major depression.
If you feel you have such symptoms it is always wise to seek the help of a qualified medical physician.
I have included this section because generally speaking if you have dealt with anxiety for an extended period of time you are more susceptible to negative feelings and depression.
Why? Because along with such anxiety can come frustration, lack of motivation, loss of self esteem, even guilt over not being able to rid yourself of such feelings.
Attacking Anxiety and Depression at its Core-
How To Combat Negative Feelings:
*1. RECOGNIZE faulty, negative thinking patterns (Ex. How often do you find yourself saying to yourself "No one really loves me" or "Why me?")
*2. Write down on a sticky note 10 positive thoughts about yourself, stick it on your refrigerator, and read them aloud to yourself EVERYDAY when you get up in the morning and before you go to bed.
(Ex. I am here for a reason and yes I AM loved; I love MYSELF and what I am becoming; I am in control of my feelings and I will continue to work hard at focusing on the positive.) If you have to write these notes on a card and carry them with you throughout the day, do so!
Click here for another writing exercise and the benefits of journaling
*3. LET GO OF INAPPROPRIATE GUILT. Learn to forgive yourself for errors. Why? Because we all make them. If you have done all you reasonably can to correct the situation then LET IT GO. Stop dragging it up.
Everytime it comes up in your mind be quick to tell yourself "I'm not going down that road today, I am through with this guilt."
*4. Talk with a trusted friend. Talking things out is a natural method in attacking anxiety and depression directly. This helps to us to unburden ourselves and not carry the load alone. We were meant to communicate.
*5. Get out and do something,
do some exercise,
take control, don't drown yourself in negativity. Do you have a hobby you used to like (drawing, singing, dancing)? Start it up again and distract yourself from those unhealthy negative thoughts.
If you follow the above suggestions
you should gradually see some positive changes in your thinking but,
you must not give up!.
Think about how long you have been talking negatively to yourself, maybe as long as you can remember.
It will take TIME to retrain your thinking. But it is well worth it, wouldn't you agree, to finally feel good about yourself again??? If you feel you need extra help in controling negative feelings a mild anti-depressant may get you where you need to be...
There are also plenty of
herbs that help to promote good mood and reduce anxiety.
Whatever you do, remember that you CAN overcome your negative feelings, don't give up!!

Poker is a very popular card game played around the world. It can be a great way to meet new people and have a fun time, but it also teaches players important skills that they can apply to their everyday lives.
Poker can help you develop certain mental traits that are crucial in business, such as patience and critical thinking. It can also improve your ability to handle difficult situations, such as losing a big hand.
Playing poker is an excellent way to exercise and strengthen your brain’s neural pathways, which are responsible for learning and memory. This is a good thing because poker is often a stressful game and it’s easy to lose focus if your mind isn’t sharp.
When you are playing poker, you have to think quickly and analyze the situation before making a decision. This helps you to become a better decision-maker and also develops your quick math skills.
Reading other players is a skill that can be learned and is a very helpful skill in poker. This is the ability to recognize patterns in a person’s actions, such as if they always bet or fold. This can give you insight into their hand strength and can make it easier for you to decide whether you should call or raise them.
It can also help you to read other players’ body language and emotions, which can be a big advantage in poker. You can learn to read this in a number of ways, from looking at their face and paying attention to their eye movements, to listening for the tells that they might be bluffing or just really happy with their hand.
Being able to read other people’s body language can be very useful in a variety of settings, from trying to sell a product to giving a presentation or leading a group of people. In poker, you need to be able to read your opponents’ bodies and their emotions in order to figure out how they are playing the game and what they might be trying to do with it.
You can practice your poker reading skills by playing online or in a real-life casino. It’s a lot of fun and can be a great way to make some money as well.
There are a number of different rules that you need to understand when playing poker. You must always remember that the cards are not yours and that you can only win the pot by having the best hand possible.
A good poker player is a disciplined, goal-oriented, and patient person. This is because they are able to take the necessary steps to achieve their goals. They aren’t afraid to lose a hand, but they are also able to pick themselves up and learn from their mistakes.
If you aren’t careful, you could get caught up in a losing streak and start to throw a tantrum about it. This is bad for your self-esteem and can affect your performance in the long run, so you should practice coping with losses in a healthy way. | <urn:uuid:20f8575f-2da6-4041-a9cd-c49271e143c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.praiseyejesus.com/the-importance-of-learning-to-play-poker/ | 2023-09-25T00:48:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.980881 | 600 |

We don’t think of it very often, but access to fresh, drinkable water is a luxury that many Americans take for granted.
Access to fresh drinking water is the #1 priority in a survival situation. People can go weeks without food, but a couple days without water and the human body is in serious trouble.
That’s why we’ve dedicated an entire section of this website just to water. We are going to explore the advantages and disadvantages or different bottle types and materials, different filtration systems, and more.
Die hard Preppers, survivalists, and smart people who are planning for an uncertain future will be able to find valuable information here.
We have taken it upon ourselves to try our as many products as we can in order to bring you the bottom line regarding what you need, what works, and what doesn’t work.
Here at Prepper Base we have a “no BS” rule, and this section is no exception. We are going to break down different water purification methods, how well they work, and more. We are also on a quest to find the PERFECT water bottle, and you’ll get to join us on that quest by reading some of our reviews.
Remember that water is the most precious resources in a survival situation!

Presidium celebrated National Youth Day on the auspicious occasion of Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. On the occasion various activities like poster making, slogan-writing were organized. Teachers also organized a discussion on the topic “Role of Youth in Nation Building” in which various students and faculty members put forward their thoughts. Teachers stated that having sound character is as important as being self-dependent for the youths and every nation has an opportunity when a maximum number of youths represents its demography and only this phase helps the nation attain maximum prosperity. They motivated the students to follow the path of Swami Vivekananda by quoting several instances from his life. | <urn:uuid:fcfaaa3f-7ee7-4ba4-a130-81b6b8798f12> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.presidiumrajnagar.com/news_details/6122/national-youth-day-youth-is-the-hope-of-the-future!.php | 2023-09-24T22:46:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.979988 | 141 |

Why does the Council need to move offices?
The Council currently rents a room from the Princes Centre. Notice has been given to end the lease in December 2023
Why not buy a property?
The amount that an individual council will be authorised to borrow will normally be limited to a maximum of £500,000 in any single financial year for any single purpose. The Town Council would need to borrow more than £500,000 for an office in the centre of Princes Risborough. The repayments for a £500,000 loan would mean an increase in the council tax for all residents.
Why not rent elsewhere in Princes Risborough?
Suitable properties that the Town Council could afford in Princes Risborough with flexible accommodation, rarely come on the market. This is exacerbated by the office space that has been converted to residential space in recent years. There is not a suitable office space available near the town centre with access for the disabled and a meeting room where we can talk with residents in private, especially when arranging a burial at the Stratton Memorial Garden.
Why relocate to the Wades Centre?
It is the only council-owned property that can accommodate an office and is accessible to all. It means that the Council will have a permanent home and will not be paying taxpayers’ money to a landlord.
Does the Town Council need an office?
The office is visited by many residents who are uncomfortable using e-mail or the telephone and want to speak to someone in person. Arrangements for burials can be very stressful and having a private room where a member of staff can sit down and spend time with the bereaved, is invaluable. The staff worked from home during Covid and this was challenging not being able to help and support the residents. The Town Council minute books and burial records are stored in the office and are available to the residents that want to see them. The Town Council does not want to lose the personal touch and offer an inferior service. | <urn:uuid:ff28125b-976e-4bb4-a2b7-c4025087966c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.princesrisboroughtowncouncil.gov.uk/FAQs_43565.aspx | 2023-09-25T00:31:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.968174 | 407 |
Understanding multiplication after counting, addition, and subtraction is perfect. Youngsters understand arithmetic through a all-natural progression. This advancement of discovering arithmetic is usually the subsequent: counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and ultimately department. This document brings about the concern why learn arithmetic in this particular series? Most importantly, why learn multiplication right after counting, addition, and subtraction before section?
The following facts respond to these questions:
- Young children find out counting initial by associating aesthetic physical objects using their hands. A real example: The amount of apples exist from the basket? Much more abstract instance is the way aged have you been?
- From counting phone numbers, the subsequent plausible step is addition then subtraction. Addition and subtraction tables can be quite helpful teaching aids for kids because they are visual tools generating the move from counting less difficult.
- That ought to be discovered following, multiplication or department? Multiplication is shorthand for addition. At this moment, kids use a firm knowledge of addition. Consequently, multiplication will be the following reasonable kind of arithmetic to discover.
Overview fundamentals of multiplication. Also, review the essentials how to use a multiplication table.
We will overview a multiplication illustration. By using a Multiplication Table, grow 4 times a few and have an answer twelve: 4 by 3 = 12. The intersection of row about three and column a number of of the Multiplication Table is 12; twelve will be the solution. For youngsters beginning to understand multiplication, this is certainly effortless. They may use addition to solve the situation thus affirming that multiplication is shorthand for addition. Case in point: 4 by 3 = 4 4 4 = 12. It is really an excellent summary of the Multiplication Table. An added advantage, the Multiplication Table is graphic and displays back to discovering addition.
Where by should we begin discovering multiplication while using Multiplication Table?
- Initially, get informed about the table.
- Begin with multiplying by 1. Commence at row primary. Proceed to line number 1. The intersection of row one and line one is the solution: one.
- Repeat these techniques for multiplying by one. Multiply row a single by posts one by way of 12. The answers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 respectively.
- Recurring these steps for multiplying by two. Multiply row two by posts one by way of several. The responses are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 respectively.
- Let us bounce ahead of time. Replicate these methods for multiplying by five. Grow row 5 by columns one by way of 12. The answers are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 correspondingly.
- Now allow us to improve the amount of issues. Repeat these actions for multiplying by three. Grow row a few by posts one via 12. The answers are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, and 36 correspondingly.
- In case you are more comfortable with multiplication up to now, use a analyze. Fix these multiplication problems in your head after which compare your answers to the Multiplication Table: grow half a dozen and two, increase nine and a few, grow one particular and eleven, grow four and a number of, and grow several as well as 2.

Dear Parents / Carers
This has been a hugely demanding and challenging term for all members of the school community. We should all take a good hard look in the mirror, ignoring the unusual hair styles, and congratulate ourselves. Across the generational divide we have all pulled together during this pandemic. As Nelson Mandela has been quoted as saying:
‘Sometimes, it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.’
The roadmap outlined by the Prime Minister and the optimism regarding the vaccination programme does indicate we are on the road to what 12 months ago we took to be our normal way of life. However, as we go into the Easter holidays and some Government guidance changes around socialising outside and outdoor sport, it is so important that we do not let our guard down and increase the risk of Covid-19 outbreaks when schools return.
From Monday 29th March:
• You can meet up outside (including in private gardens) with six other people, or as two households.
• You can take part in formally organised outdoor sports with any number of people (outdoor sports venues and facilities will be able to reopen).
• Childcare and supervised activities will be allowed outdoors for all children.
Your family can continue to keep yourselves and others safe by:
• Washing their hands regularly, for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water or using an antibacterial hand sanitiser if soap and water is not available
• Keeping socially distanced, staying at least 2 metres away from those not in your immediate household
• Wearing a face-covering where required and when it is difficult to socially distance
• Self-isolating and getting tested if you develop symptoms or receive a positive lateral flow test (LFT) result
• Not socialising indoors with anyone who is not in your immediate household. You are not allowed to have sleepovers or friends over, even if your child is in a school bubble.
• Not sending your child back to school ill or with symptoms of Covid-19 after the Easter break – if your child is sick, please keep them at home.
Lateral flow tests
Following on from the letter dated 25th March from Mr Foster (Deputy Headteacher), we would encourage you to test your child(ren) twice a week. If your child receives a positive LFT result from a test taken at home, book a PCR test to confirm the result even if your child has no symptoms. The positive LFT triggers the legal obligation for self-isolation for them and close contacts including household members. If the PCR test comes back with a negative result, the period of self-isolation ends for them and all close contacts including household members. Any positive tests received up until 1st April should be reported to email@example.com so that we can complete the track and trace process with the HCC Public Health team.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents of the two Year 7 form groups that were sent home yesterday due to two positive LFT results for their support and understanding. The follow-up PCR tests taken came back negative late last night and early this morning and we were able to get the vast majority of those form groups back into school today. We all need to be aware that such events will continue to happen after Easter whilst Covid remains in the wider community.
Next term we will look to review our Covid risk management restrictions in line with DfE guidance. Sports clubs and other extracurricular activities will resume in year group bubbles from the week beginning 12th April. We are looking carefully at our school calendar to see what we can add in that students will have missed due to the lockdowns. We are exploring the opportunity of offering Bushcraft to Year 7 and Year 8 in late June and July, along with a range of other trips. This year Sports Day will include Year 11 as they did not have the opportunity to participate in the one last year and we will be running two proms for the Year 11 2020 intake and 2021 intake in late July.
All families eligible for FSM vouchers have been contacted by the school and have been given two vouchers for Easter and one for May half term.
To say thank you to our students for being great over the last three weeks and to wish them a happy Easter we have given all of them an Easter egg each. By the looks of it I think most of the Easter eggs have already been eaten!
Take care and I look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 12th April. | <urn:uuid:700ef29f-1d9b-4a6d-9275-074b823395e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.priory.herts.sch.uk/news/tps-update-26-03-2021/ | 2023-09-24T23:54:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.966288 | 957 |

In this piece John talks to John Hackett about his latest album, a collection of songs recorded during lockdown in spring of 2020 in which John plays all instruments and produced and mixed the album on his own. The album ‘The Piper Plays His Tune’ is the result, released on his own Hacktrax label.
John Wenlock-Smith: Morning John, are you keeping well?
John Hackett: Yes, I have been doing quite a few walks with my wife trying to lose the lockdown tummy that has emerged because of watching Netflix at night whilst eating chocolates!
JWS: We have been doing that as well. The dog starts barking at a pigeon outside and is removed out of the way, lockdown, thank goodness it is coming to an end eh?
JH: Yes, it has been a tough time for many people.
JWS: Unfortunately it has, especially for people like yourself who have been without any income for over a year.
JH: I have been fortunate as my wife works from home, so I have been able to do a bit from home.
JWS: Well, I am retired now as the result of a stroke which has left me with vascular dementia but I get support from my local stroke survivors group. I have heard your new album and I like it, it is quite mellow though.
JH: Well, it is a collection of songs that I guess you would say is quite melody driven as I have spent most of my life as a flute player, which basically means you are following the tune.
JWS: So your wife works from home you say?
JH: Yes, she is an administrator for the church and she is particularly good with technology, which has been especially useful.
JWS: I have been listening back to some of the older stuff you worked on, starting with ‘The Geese and The Ghost’ and ‘We Are Not Alone’, then ‘Another Life’ and ‘Sketches of Satie’ with your brother Steve, I like the live CD that came with that album.
JH: Well, that was early days for the band, I think that was about the fourth show as a band, recorded at the Classic Rock Society who were very generous to us as a band, allowing us to record that show for posterity. I suppose that album is a bit more ‘proggy’ than some of the more classical stuff I’ve been involved with, especially the opening track Take Control and also the track Winds of Change, in which Nick Fletcher, our guitarist, gets room to play a little. My Brother Steve said recently that he thinks Nick is the best jazz rock guitarist in the country at the moment. High praise indeed, I do not know if you have Nick’s album ‘Cycles of Behaviour’ but it is a real testament to his playing.
JWS: Yes ,I have that album, I have just done an interview and album review that will be published on Progradar shortly. I especially liked Philosopher King, the longest track on the album.
JH: I am glad you like that one.
JWS: I like long songs, it gives them room to stretch and breathe a little, give me a longer song anytime.
JH: Sounds like a song title, I might use that in a lyric sometime.
JWS: Go for it, you can have that one for free.
JH: Good, I will look forward to reading that John, he (Nick Fletcher) and I have a lot in common. He has spent a lot of time as a classical guitarist and I have spent a lot of my time as a classical flautist, although we both love rock music and we both feel comfortable working in both fields. I used to think that I had to make a choice, one or the other, but Nick and I both feel that they can feed off each other, in that you can apply some of the techniques used in classical pieces in the rock stuff. Really, the rock stuff benefits from playing the classical pieces too, with the rock stuff you are always thinking about keeping it strong and I think that background can really help in with the energy and direction you create.
Nick and I worked together on the ‘Beyond The Stars’ album and he had a vision for the album. It has a fabulous long track, That Ship Has Sailed, on which Nick gets a chance to really stretch out, it is his Pink Floyd moment, his Comfortably Numb, as it were.
JWS: So what was your first love in rock music?
JH: Well I started off as a blues guitarist, my brother taught me House Of The Rising Sun and showed me a few bits, then we saw King Crimson with Ian Macdonald playing the flute and Robin Miller on oboe. That got me into learning to play the flute, which I did at University in Sheffield. In 1978 I joined Steve’s band as a flautist/bass player, recorded ‘Voyage of the Acolyte’, amongst his other earlier albums, and toured extensively with him as part of the band. Good times! we still work together occasionally, usually doing a Christmas show at Trading Boundaries in which I play flute, along with Roger King on keyboards and Rob Townsend on sax, that is always a good venue as the audience are at tables near the stage.
JWS: Yes, we have not got to Trading Boundaries yet as it is too far from where we are in Cheshire, although I do have a Downes Braide Association album that has a live show from Trading Boundaries with it.
It certainly looks like a great little venue; we have seen you with Steve Hackett a few times on his more recent tours in Manchester, often with Amanda Lehmann in tow too. I suppose Sheffield to Manchester is only about an hour away?
JH: Yes, not too far at all and it is always great to be a part of Steve’s shows, I really enjoy those appearances.
JWS: Obviously gigging is coming back slowly,
JH: We have our first gig in August at the 1865 in Southampton.
JWS: Are you playing in Bilston at the Robin 2?
JH: Yes we are playing there as part of an all-day festival.
JWS: Will there be a new John Hackett Band album soon?
JH: Yes, I certainly hope so, we need to do something soon, watch this space.
JWS: Have you had your vaccinations?
JH: Yes, I had those at the Sheffield Arena, I am not sure if the others have had theirs yet, I guess we will find out soon enough. I had to take my shirt off and I was wearing a John Hackett Band T Shirt and the nurse said what’s your T shirt and I said it’s my band, I said I’d always hoped to get to Sheffield Arena as a band appearing, not as an OAP getting vaccinated!
JWS: You have some nice guitar playing on the album.
JH: Thank you, I was listening to an old Tamla song and heard some bongo’s and I thought I could do with some of those. I went out shopping and I found some in Lidl, I thought that was a sign to get on with it!
JWS: Would you do another album in that way?
JH: I would not rule it out but not yet.
JWS: Well I think that’s all I must ask you about, thanks very much for talking to me and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
JH: Yes, Thanks for your time John, I’ll drop you an email later, so you have my email too, nice talking with you.
‘The Piper Plays His Tune’ was released 18th November, 2020.

The craft industry includes things manufactured by artisans or those experienced in a trade. Art galleries, handmade fabrics, and culinary goods are all examples of small firms engaged in the craft sector. Craft industry entrepreneurs are frequently self-employed and not franchised. To maintain a customer base, the sector relies on locally supplied goods and community support.
If you’re seeking craft business ideas in 2022, this article contains various low-capital choices for you to consider:
1. Launch A Flower Arranging Business
An artistic presentation of cut flowers is referred to as a flower arrangement. Every flower arrangement job is carefully inspected by floral designers to ensure balance, proportion, scale, unity, harmony, rhythm, balance, and emphasis.
A flower arrangement enlivens the mood at every occasion, whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, family gathering, or romantic weekend away. There are no indications that the floral arrangement tradition will disappear in our lifetime, which is a long time.
2. Social Media Influencer
Social media has become vital in people’s lives and everyday routines. Given the prominence of social media, marketers are flocking to platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok in the hopes of interacting with their target audience.
Engaging social media influencers is a prominent strategy used by many brands. A social media influencer has built credibility in a specific field and has access to a large audience that they may persuade to take action based on recommendations.
Anyone, with the appropriate strategy, can become a social influencer. Choose a prominent area that fascinates you and begin writing relevant content.
3. Home Decor Business
Are you a skilled interior designer? Do you know you may convert your pastime into a source of extra income? Home décor as a side job is a terrific way to create a brand while earning extra money. To start a profitable home décor side hustle, you must first build your portfolio. The portfolio indicates to potential consumers your ability in the field of home décor. You can use your own home as an example, or you can ask a friend if you can use their home décor as a sample for your portfolio. Market your business once you have a portfolio, and remember to include images from previous gigs to boost your chances of completing a transaction.
4. Tattoo Artist
It is not as complicated as you might suppose to start a tattoo business. You already possess the most crucial traits for launching your tattoo business if you have the talent, aptitude, and bravery.
Tattooing is a lucrative and popular industry, and it is one of the most satisfying careers you can have. However, becoming a tattoo artist necessitates a significant amount of dedication and hard work.
Tattoo shops have high criteria for artists that work in shops; therefore, you may have to choose the freelance road to have a successful career as an artist. It could be a short-term or long-term job, so you should be prepared before taking on such a responsibility.
5. T-Shirt Customization Business
One of the best parts about starting a T-shirt customization business is that you only need a small amount of money to get started, and you can do it from the comfort of your home.
However, before you question how to start a T-shirt customization business, examine why you want to establish a T-shirt business in the first place. Most likely, the promotional products or uniforms segment is underserved in your area.
Before you begin, you should plan your venture into the T-shirt personalization industry. Then you must determine your target market to better understand how you want to sell your personalized t-shirts.
Once you’ve identified your niche market, you can create specific designs to meet the needs of your customers. Making the business legal and calculating the overhead will be the next steps. Finally, market the company while avoiding overextending yourself financially.
6. Artwork Kiosk Business
Landscape paintings in the classic sense, as well as abstract, pop, graffiti, and other types of art, are all sold in art kiosks. Statistics show that the world’s art market is rapidly expanding. Among the biggest art purchasers are businesses and homeowners.
As a result, opening an art kiosk can be profitable. It’s simple to start. A good place to display the artwork and draw customers in should be found, so be sure to do that. Make sure you have a strong internet presence and distribute the artwork in online galleries to increase sales.
7. Yard Art Business
Yard art makes beautiful focal points for the outdoor area, enhancing it. Experts in landscaping and interior design employ metal art as a simple, low-maintenance way to improve a yard. As a result, the metal art industry is something to think about if you are a metal fabricator seeking home renovation ideas. Metal yard art can be created and installed both inside and outside.
Register a brand to launch your business, and make sure all legal requirements are met. You can create a model piece of yard art in your neighborhood and use it as a model. As an alternative, you may begin mass-producing metal yard art and selling it online or in person.
8. Dried Flowers Business
An innovative enterprise that has the potential to generate significant revenue is the dried flower business. This company’s primary goal is to sell dried flowers. You can offer them separately or as a complement to other things like jewelry or clothing.
With the correct marketing and services, flower-drying firms may generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue. You can make $18,000 or more in profit for every 100 orders if you can charge $200 to preserve bouquets from significant events.
Anyone who enjoys being outside and wants to contribute to their community can consider starting a dried flower business. By acquiring seeds or plants from nearby farms and drying them yourself, you can launch your own dried flower business. You can sell your flowers online, at farmers’ markets, and at craft fairs.
9. Digital Art & Design Business
Visual content is frequently produced for websites, applications, and other digital platforms using digital art and design. Businesses in digital art and design might be full-time or freelance. They may work internally for bigger corporations or as independent contractors for other companies or people.
10. Toy Maker
The toy market is expanding at a CAGR of 2.5% and will surpass $103 billion in the coming years. For a child’s growth and development, toys are essential. They aid in brain growth and assist children in building their capacity for logic and reason.
Toys also aid in the development of social and communication skills in children and their spatial reasoning. Therefore, beginning a toy manufacturing company right now can be the best choice you ever make.
Find a possible market segment and concentrate on producing appropriate toys when you launch your toy manufacturing business.
11. Hair Extensions Business
The market for hair extensions provides wigs and hairpieces for cosmetic and therapeutic uses. People prefer hair extensions since they are worried about regular hair styling.
You can launch a brick-and-mortar hair extensions business if you are passionate about launching a business in the beauty sector and keeping up with hair and beauty trends. Discover the most popular hair type by conducting market research.
12. Painting Business
Consider launching a painting business if you’re seeking a self-employment job that allows you to set your hours. Painting is one of the artisan enterprises with cheap initial expenses and a high-profit margin. But not everyone has the time or the aptitude for jobs like painting.
Create a business strategy and register your company before you begin painting. After that, secure business insurance coverage and submit license applications. Purchase the appropriate painting tools and concentrate on marketing your company.
13. Mobile Photography
It’s never been simpler to start earning money with your camera thanks to the growth of social networking, photo sharing, blogging, and online commerce.
Photographers capture weddings, design photos for advertisements, work as freelancers for magazines, travel the world, and take pictures of places – the list is endless. If you want to start mobile photography, investigate your audience to find out which niche would pay off the most. Invest in a computer with specialized photo-editing software, high-end, professional cameras, and lenses.
14. Soap Business
A home-based or small local firm may operate a soap-making enterprise in this expanding sector. One of the most lucrative home businesses that allow you to work in your spare time and make decent money is the soap industry.
Beginning a soap business seems straightforward enough. Supplies can likely be purchased for less than $1,000. Given that well-known skincare products are now sold online; it doesn’t appear to be a very difficult industry to break in.
15. Woodworking Business
While many people view woodworking as a leisure activity, it is a lucrative blue-collar industry with room for expansion. Consider launching a woodworking business if you’re talented, driven, and seeking a blue-collar side venture.
You can work from home if you start a woodworking business. Additionally, you have endless earning potential and can quickly scale your firm. You can pursue opportunities like creating unique wood items, instructing others in woodworking, launching a woodworking blog, and flipping furniture.
16. Candle Business
One of the sectors with the most rapid global growth is the candle industry. One of the first sectors to become industrialized was candle production. Today up to 90% of all candles are produced by machinery. Even in today’s automated world, many of us still make our candles at home, creating a demand for handcrafted, premium candles from candle producers.
For a businessperson looking to earn some additional cash from the convenience of their home during their free time, starting a candle business is a good idea. If you take this type of business seriously, there are opportunities.
17. Pet Accessories Business
The pet accessories market is developing due to the rising number of pet owners worldwide. The term “pet accessories” refers to goods that enhance pet handling and encourage the health and wellness of animals. Pet snacks, toys, collars and tags, leashes, beds, food and water bowls, poop bags, clothing, costumes, and other items are some examples of pet accessories.
Conduct market research before launching a pet accessories company, and concentrate on the most popular pet products.
18. Jewellery-Making Business
The size of the world’s jewelry business was estimated at $278 billion in 2018 and is predicted to increase to $292 billion by 2025. Manufacturers, wholesalers, merchants, and jewelry designers make up the sector. The jewelry industry hasn’t changed in more than 40 years, unlike many other sectors that have experienced rapid technological advancement.
It could be a fantastic method to earn extra money if you know how to make jewelry.
19. Greeting Cards Business
Births, deaths, graduations, anniversaries, and other celebrations or events are all marked with greeting cards. Starting a greeting card company can be a terrific business option if you enjoy assisting others in celebrating special events.
Select a potential specialty and create a business strategy if you’re launching a greeting card company. Then, find the ideal place to sell the greeting cards. For example, you could provide customers the option of selecting the best designs for their greeting cards and posting them online.
20. Creating A Journal Brand
A journal is a newspaper or magazine that reports on a specific topic or a professional endeavor based on the author’s feelings and opinions. The appeal of keeping a journal is that there is no right or incorrect way to begin.
The strategy is based on your circumstances and might take many different forms. Find a writing regimen that works for you and start journaling. Journal creatively about everything that occurs to you as long as it appeals to your intended audience.
21. Women’s Clothing Line Business
A fantastic way to enter the business world is by launching a women’s apparel line. To launch your clothing line, all you need is the desire to work for yourself. You don’t need much money or experience; just the will to succeed.
There are numerous prospects for growth in women’s fashion, which has advanced significantly over the past ten years. If you keep up with the times, there will always be a market for your new ideas because there are always new trends arising and old ones resurfacing as well (and staying on top of them).
22. Craft Business Blogger
Crafts are becoming more popular than ever before. More people are expressing their passion for the trade. Furthermore, more people are expressing an interest in beginning a craft-related business. Consider launching a craft blog if you enjoy making things.
A craft blog might cover everything from current trends in the art and craft business to popular industry news. Ensure that your craft blog concentrates on an intriguing niche. Begin by picking a specialization and researching what they enjoy about the craft. Focus on creating relevant content for your blog and posting it regularly.
23. Wallet Brand
The wallet’s market share is growing at an 8.87% CAGR, and it will reach $8.78 billion in a few years. As the need for wallets grows, starting your own wallet brand provides an opportunity to benefit in the future.
To launch your wallet brand, conduct extensive market research with an emphasis on discovering gaps. Then, research the competition and create a one-of-a-kind wallet design that fits the lifestyle of your target clients.
24. Towels Business
The growing demand for sanitary facilities, such as toilets and bathrooms, is a driver of cotton towel demand.
You can develop and start your own towel brand if you are creative. To create a towel brand, you must have a fundamental understanding of art and design and knowledge of the fashion market. You can gain inspiration for your towels by enrolling in a fashion school or working with fashion designers.
25. Create An Online Course
Online course enterprises are one of the most rapidly developing online businesses. Creating an online course is an excellent approach to supplement your income because it allows you to sell your existing knowledge. People are taking more online courses every day, and the COVID pandemic has accelerated this trend, with some online learning platforms seeing a 15-fold increase in user numbers.
Another benefit is that these new platforms are so simple for teachers that you don’t have to bother with the technical side. You simply need to focus on developing fascinating material that is both informative and engaging.
Starting an online course helps you to avoid some of the significant expenditures connected with establishing a physical training facility, and it’s an excellent method to reach as many people as possible.
It is critical to have a clear marketing strategy when starting a craft-creating firm. Aside from that, you can develop a distribution channel with shops. Craft goods are also a popular online selling option. You can sell the product through an existing online marketplace or your own website.
In general, art and craft enterprises are good for those who are creative. There are numerous online and physical opportunities to promote your craft business abroad. | <urn:uuid:0937a118-4ea2-42b7-9684-0e0c69d67895> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.projectpractical.com/25-small-craft-business-ideas-that-work/ | 2023-09-25T00:57:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.939349 | 3,162 |

Swedish energy company Vattenfall has announced that it is planning a district heating network that will supply homes in London with low- and zero-carbon heat from solid waste plants.
Edie reports that Vattenfall, which already operates district heating schemes in Berlin and Amsterdam amongst other European cities, said that its network could eventually help to provide heat to half a million homes in the east of London.
The Swedish, state-owned company has partnered with London-based waste management company Cory Energy, which has plans to develop a district heating network system in Belvedere in the south-east of the capital.
This project was awarded £12 million from the UK’s Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP) and is set to start on site in early 2022 with the aim of supplying the first homes by 2024.
Vattenfall hopes to be servicing 75,000 homes by the 2030s, and into half a million homes and businesses by the 2040s.
The company has highlighted that heating is responsible for a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and that 25 million homes use fossil fuels to keep warm.
Vattenfall says its heat network could reduce emissions by up to 90 per cent compared with individual gas boilers. It estimates that over a 20-year period, the network could save 26 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
Mike Reynolds, managing director at Vattenfall Heat UK said: “We’ve got to think big when it comes to removing emissions from heating, on a scale that works for global cities like London. District heating presents the best option for consumers in urban areas. It’s the cheapest source of low-carbon heat, it’s reliable and it’s resilient against energy shocks.”

AEW Dynamite 07.04.21 - Match Stats
Featured Match - Jon Moxley/Young Bucks vs Kenny Omega/Good Brothers
The match offence split gives more credit to the 'Bullet Club' than they perhaps deserve in this match. Gallows, Anderson and Omega kept up in terms of strikes, just about, but they were crushed when it came to translating strikes into higher-impact offence. Whereas the Bucks and Moxley did not have that problem.
Jon Moxley and the Young Bucks hit double figures for all three big impact metrics; grapples, dives and strikedowns. They doubled their adversaries in terms of power grapples, hit 6 more strikedowns and utilised diving strikes with 11 hits. Despite hitting far more offence they even managed more than double the reversals.
The Bullet Club were so out-classed in this match, they seemed done for unless they were able to pull off a surprise roll-up, a cheap trick or rely on their opponents to completely implode. The depth of offence difference between the two teams is illustrated below.

HealthDay News — As the United States reported yet another record-breaking number of COVID-19 cases on Thursday, public health officials warned that younger Americans now account for an ever-growing percentage of infections.
In Arizona, where drive-up testing sites were being overwhelmed, nearly half of all cases are being seen in those aged 20 to 44, The New York Times reported. In Florida, which has been routinely breaking records for new cases in the past week, the median age of residents testing positive for the virus has dropped to 35, down from 65 in March. In Texas, where cases are soaring and hospitals are nearing capacity, young people now make up the majority of new cases in several urban areas, the newspaper said.
COVID-19 infections in the United States had been slowing since the prior record of 36,739 cases back on April 24, but case counts have roared back in recent weeks, The Times reported. COVID-19 cases are surging the most in the South and West. On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he will not move his state to the next phase of reopening, while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott paused his state’s reopening and moved to free up precious hospital space for COVID-19 patients, The Times said.
But the actual number of coronavirus cases is probably much higher than recent totals suggest, Robert Redfield, M.D., director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Thursday. He estimated that the number of Americans who have been infected with the virus is most likely about 10 times the 2.4 million cases that have been reported, according to The Times. | <urn:uuid:50539d78-36e6-4da0-86ee-e4d375b67251> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pulmonologyadvisor.com/home/topics/lung-infection/young-people-contributing-to-record-rise-in-us-covid-19-cases/ | 2023-09-25T00:38:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.963412 | 343 |

Southeast Alaska is truly one of the most stunning geographical regions in the entire United States. Just about everywhere you look you’ll find a view that could easily be featured in National Geographic. When you factor in aLEARN MORE
For many of us, an Alaska halibut fishing trip is a dream come true. Halibut’s reputation of having a feisty attitude and flaky white meat have made them a world renowned game fish. It’s no wonder that people have been targeting this species in the great state of Alaska for thousands of years.
Though halibut can be found all around the northern hemisphere, Alaska has been the top destination for both sport and commercial fishermen for generations, and for good reason: massive populations of pacific halibut travel through the Gulf of Alaska every year. In fact, the populations are so robust, that the vast majority of commercially caught halibut eaten around the world (and over 65% of all pacific halibut sport fishing) takes place in Alaskan waters! Thanks to some excellent population management from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the pacific halibut population is booming and fishermen will be able to enjoy this delicious natural resource for generations to come.
If you’re interested in halibut fishing, there’s a few things you’ll want to know about these impressive animals before you get in the boat and reel one in for yourself. In this article we’ll teach you everything you need to know about halibut fishing in Alaska!
Halibut are a type of “flat fish”, meaning they lay on the bottom, have a compressed shape and have eyes on one side of their body. They have a unique coloration, with their top side being an excellent camouflage of a brown base with light and dark mottling, with a bottom that is ghost white. Why so white, you ask? When an animal spends a majority of their life laying about, why expend energy making pigment for its skin when no one is going to see it?
FUN FACT: Though uncommon, there are some halibut that have brown coloration on both sides of their body. Usually this means that the fish is missing eyes, is blind, or has vision problems.
Both male and female halibut have an incredible 55 year long lifespan, though most only make it to their late 20s. Halibut begin their life cycle off fairly slowly; males take around 8 years to sexually mature while females take 12. Born swimming upright and looking like any other baby fish, larval halibut mainly feed on zooplankton for the first year of their life. The young halibut swim higher up the water column as they grow and depend on ocean currents to carry them to coastal waters hundreds of miles from their spawning grounds. During this time, their body will change and their skull starts to compress. As this happens, a halibut’s left eye migrates over the top of their skull until it settles next to their right eye.
After their first year, halibut begin to feed on small crustaceans and fish and eat progressively larger creatures as they age. Once sexually mature, the female halibut–which grows faster and larger than males–will lay anywhere between several thousand and several million eggs!
FUN FACT: You know those photos of massive trophy halibut where the fish is taller than the angler who caught them? Every one of those halibut were undoubtedly female.
When most people think about halibut, they’re thinking of the pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis. There are two other species of halibut in the world, atlantic halibut and greenland halibut, but the commercial fishing industry largely avoids these species due to their threatened status. So chances are that any halibut you’ve eaten came from the pacific ocean.
How did they come up with the genus name Hippoglossus for halibut, you ask? No one knows for sure, though it is assumed it was because halibut that come out of the water were wet and shiny and glossy, and also very large, like a hippo.
Pacific halibut can be found all throughout the west coast of the United States and Canada, going as far south as California and as far north at the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia. That being said, halibut tend to concentrate in the gulf of alaska region. Halibut are a highly migratory fish and return to the gulf every year to spawn. A massive chunk of the pacific halibut population start their life in this area and then travel dozens to hundreds of miles to shallower waters near the coastline to feed after their annual spawn.
This is why the fishing at Pybus Point Lodge is so incredible. Halibut enter the shallow waters near the ABC islands (Admiralty, where the lodge is located, Baranof and Chicagof) every summer. Here the water is full of food like crabs, squid, herring and other small animals that halibut love. Halibut will spend the whole summer in the region gorging on anything they can get their mouths on before heading back out to deeper waters to spawn in winter.
The benefit of fishing at Pybus Point Lodge over some of the other Alaska fishing resorts is that Pybus is located in the famous Inside Passage region. This massive waterway is protected by gigantic clusters of islands. Here, the water is nearly always calm, and the ocean floor is full of hungry halibut looking for something to eat.
If you’re on an all-inclusive Alaska halibut fishing trip with Pybus Point Lodge, you won’t have to worry too much about locating halibut on your own. All of our guests have an expert, full-time, fishing guide that can take them halibut fishing every day. That being said, it’s still a good idea to have a solid understanding of where halibut tend to hangout so you know what you’re looking for while fishing. Learning and understanding the fish you’re chasing is part of the adventure, and don’t hesitate to ask your guide any questions that come to mind.
Halibut are flat fish meaning that their mouths are on the bottom of their bodies and their eyes are on the top. If you’ve ever seen a halibut before you’ll know that the top of their bodies are greenish brown, and the bottoms of their bodies are white. This unique coloration is no accident.
Halibut are ultimate ambush predators. Hanging out on the ocean floor stalking their next meal, they orient themselves down current along humps, ledges, slides, rocks, or any place an unsuspecting prey might get carried past with the water current. They lie still, their colored tops act as perfect camouflage, making it difficult for their prey to notice them. Once an unsuspecting fish swims overhead–BOOM–the halibut will attack. In a mere second or two, the halibut lunges off the open floor and clamp down with powerful jaws on their helpless prey.
While they swim up, any creatures down below will look up and see the white side of the halibut which blends in with the glare from the sunlight above as the halibut eats its prey. It’s hard to see their teeth in photos, but don’t be fooled. Whatever enters the halibut’s mouth, is not escaping.
FUN FACT: Halibut don’t always hang out on the bottom. They sometimes “free swim” hundreds of feet off the bottom chasing food if they know it’s there.
Halibut are typically sport-caught at depths between 100 and 400 feet, but can commonly be found in depths as extreme as 1,500 feet by commercial fishermen. Halibut are considered to be a cold water fish that are typically found in water that roughly ranges between 35-45 degrees fahrenheit.
Halibut aren’t known for being picky eaters. They’ll practically eat any creature that they can cram in their mouths like crabs, squid, salmon, cod, rockfish, herring, other flatfish, and their absolute favorite food, Octopus! This is one of the reasons why halibut fishing is so fun and easy. If there’s a way that a halibut can get its mouth around something, they’ll try, no matter what it is. They are very curious animals, and unlike humans who have fingers and hands, a halibut’s only tool to sample the world with is its mouth.
When it comes to halibut fishing, most lodges just fish a large piece of dead bait at the bottom of the ocean and wait for a halibut to bite. BORING! At Pybus, we have the unique opportunity of being in an area where halibut concentrate in large groups, so we can fish them in more exciting ways. For us, there isn’t a better setup than a jig with a soft plastic lure. Jigs are essentially just a big fake wiggly bait with a large hook attached to a heavy weight, perfect for sinking to the ocean floor and getting a halibut’s attention quickly. Jigs are so effective and the halibut in our area so plentiful, that people even have success hooking halibut on a naked jig: no lure, no bait, no nothing.
But when you put a soft plastic lure over the top of the jig–oh boy! The lure will hide the hook and make your jig extra appetizing to a hungry halibut . Remember how we said that halibut aren’t picky eaters? Well we meant it. The specific lure you use doesn’t make a huge difference as halibut don’t really care about color or shape. As long as your lure vaguely looks like a sea creature you’ll be fine. The advantage of using a lure is that as you jig (more on that in a minute) the lure will mimic the motion of a small fish moving through the water and the color will attract the eye of the halibut. This natural look provided by the lure will give you the extra edge you need to catch a fish!
While the specific colors and shapes of the lures you use doesn’t make much of a difference, the quality of your lure can have a big impact on your fishing trip and your wallet. At Pybus Point Lodge, we fish hard all summer long and need lures that are built to last–that’s why we try to always buy from Madame Lure. Madame Lure is owned and operated by Pybus’s very own Captain Matthew Strang. Captain Matt is both an experienced Alaskan fisherman and marine biologist who’s spent over 20 years in the industry–so when we say he knows his stuff, we mean it. If you want to fish with the same jigs as the guides at Pybus, check out Madame Lure!
If you really want to make sure that all those halibut notice your jig you can add some bait onto your hook. While bait isn’t necessary when halibut fishing, it certainly doesn’t hurt your chances. For best results try using herring or pink salmon bellies!
While the color of the lure may not be as important, how you wiggle it is! With a little bit of practice, Jigging for halibut is incredibly easy! In fact, this is probably one of the best fishing techniques for beginners to master. There are just a few easy steps that you’ll need to follow to catch your own alaskan halibut!
But before we get into the specific steps, here’s our most helpful tip for halibut fishing: always listen to your guide. Their job is to make sure you catch fish and have fun, so what they tell you is meant to make you more successful. If you follow your guide’s advice, your halibut fishing vacation is guaranteed to be a success!
Now, keeping that in mind, here are all the steps you need to catch your own Alaskan halibut!
First things first, you’ve got to actually get your jig to the bottom of the ocean. All you need to do is let out some line (usually between 200-400 feet) until you find the bottom. Sounds easy enough, right? There’s only one small trick that you need to know during this process, and it’s important. Always maintain tension while releasing the line so it doesn’t “backlash”. This single trick can entirely make or break your halibut fishing experience, especially if you’re a beginner.
In order to do this, you’re going to want to let your line out slowly. As you’re releasing the line, use your thumb to apply pressure on the reel and control the speed at which your jig is sinking. Like we said, jigs have heavy weights attached to them, and you should always feel them at the end of your line. If you allow for slack in your line you could run into any number of difficulties like getting tangled, or even worse, not finding the bottom of the ocean. More on why that matters in a moment.
If you’re maintaining tension on your line during the descent, you’ll be able to feel precisely when the jig hits the bottom of the ocean; all of a sudden you’ll feel the weight stop pulling, you’ll feel the slack in the line, and you might even feel the thud caused from the impact in your arms. As soon as you feel the bottom, put the reel in gear by moving your lever forward, and reel just a little bit until the line is taught and you can feel the weight of the jig.
Once you’ve hit bottom, it’s time to get a halibut’s attention! To do this, you’re going to be jigging to mimic the movements of a fish swimming above the ocean floor. So what exactly is jigging you ask? Jigging is really just a fancy way of saying moving the rod tip up and down. When you do this, the jig will vertically swim up and down and hop and skip across the ocean floor creating vibrations and noise that will catch a halibut’s attention.
To get started, you’re going to want to reel in about two full rotations off of the ocean floor. While jigging, you’re going to be lifting the jig off of the ocean floor and slowly letting the jig touch back down again. To make sure you have the right amount of line out, slowly lift the tip of your rod up and lower it back down–you should feel the jig touch bottom each time you lower the rod tip down. Adjust until you’ve found that sweet spot where your lure touches down with every jig. You don’t want to make large lifts on the rod. Just little 12 to 24 inch hops and “pops”.
Now that’s out of the way, all you need to do is bounce the rod tip up and down. It’s a pretty easy technique that can be mastered by fishermen of all skill levels. The great thing is that there’s really no wrong way to jig, and you can try a whole range of different methods. You can jig aggressively, you can jig gently, you can slowly control the descent of the jig, or you can let it slam back down on its own. You can either be rhythmic or random. Just find what works for you.
There’s really only one big thing to keep in mind, you’ve got to stay on bottom. Remember how we said that it’s best to fish for halibut on slopes? That means that as your boat drifts along the slope, you’re going to be fishing at different depths. It’s crucial that you’re periodically checking to make sure that your jig is actually being pulled off the bottom and touching back down. If it’s not, make the proper adjustments by either reeling in or letting out some line. But remember, don’t get too focused on finding the bottom or you won’t be jigging. We suggest about once a minute let a bit of line out if you haven’t found the bottom, or of course, get a bite!
The key thing is to keep the bait moving. The fish don’t want it to just lie there. If you aren’t constantly moving the rod tip, you run the risk of allowing your jig to drag across the ocean floor and getting snagged on a rock or on some vegetation. While this is usually fixable, sometimes all you can do is cut the line–something we’d like to avoid whenever possible. If you’re not hitting bottom at all, nothing bad will happen, you’ll just be wasting your time. Halibut are bottom dwellers and it’s highly unlikely that you’ll attract the attention of any halibut from too far up above. Remember, listen to your guide! Have them look at your technique and they will make sure you have the best bounce for the ‘but!
Now that your jig is skipping across the ocean floor, it should be attracting the attention of any nearby halibut. Once the halibut notices your jig it will attack, and it’s your job to notice that a halibut is taking interest in your jig. Most of the time, this is pretty easy. You should be able to feel the halibut tugging on your line, and your rod tip will start bouncing like crazy. This is probably the most challenging few seconds of the halibut fishing process, and it might take you a few attempts to get it down.
Once you notice that a halibut is attacking you need to get the hook through the halibut’s mouth. To do this you’ll need to forcefully yank the rod tip upward, sort of like how you’ve been jigging, just with more velocity. If you do it correctly, you’ll have yanked the hook through the halibut’s mouth and you’ll be in for the tug of war.
Now setting the hook might sound pretty straight forward, but there is a fair amount of technique and skill involved. You can’t simply set the hook the moment you feel some action. You need to give the halibut enough time to get the hook fully in its mouth. If you attempt to set the hook too early, you run the risk of yanking the hook right out of the halibut’s mouth. Or maybe the halibut was simply nibbling at your lure and its mouth isn’t anywhere near your hook. As soon as you feel the halibut grabbing the lure, give it a brief moment to get the lure in its mouth, Then swing upwards while slowly reeling to get the fishing rod to do the work for you.
NOTE: If you miss the hook set, give it a few jigs before letting the job back down to the bottom. Sometimes the halibut will turn right back around and bite it again!
All that being said, there’s no need to worry. It only takes most folks a few attempts before they start to get the hang of it. And while on an all-inclusive vacation with Pybus Point Lodge, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch a halibut. The halibut fishing is so incredible in our area that guests often hook halibuts without even realizing it!
Now that the halibut is on your hook, there’s only one thing left to do; real that sucker in! While this is definitely the most straightforward step of the process, there is a little bit of technique involved to make sure that the halibut doesn’t pop off the hook and swim away.
While reeling in it’s important to always maintain tension. When there’s any slack in the line, the halibut will have the opportunity to shake loose from the hook. In order to do this it’s best to pull your rod tip up and then reel as you slowly lower the rod tip back down keeping the rod bent. This way you’ll pull the fish up through the water with your arms, and then reel in the excess line maintaining tension the whole way through. Always keep the bend in the rod!
It’s important to remember that halibut fishing isn’t a race–you’ve got all the time in the world to get that halibut in the boat, and it’s better to do it correctly than quickly. If you get tired feel free to take advantage of the rod holders on the sides of the boat. Just place the rod in the holder, and all you have to do is reel. In fact, if you try to bulldog a halibut, they will bulldog you right back. If you reel nice, steady and easy the whole way, the halibut tend to come up easier. Sometimes they won’t even fight at all. Though it’s not quite as fun as a fish that is “peeling drag” it’s much more effective.
Once you get your halibut near the surface let your expert captain or deckhand know and they will help you get the halibut out of the water. While this is happening, never pull the halibut out of the water. If the halibut manages to flop off of the hook while out of water, you’ll have a heavy, spring loaded, hook flying right at your face–something that we’d like to avoid at all costs. For your safety we have free protective eyewear available.
Once that your halibut is just below the surface, your captain or deckhand will haul the fish onto the deck of the boat where it will be measured to make sure that the fish is within the legal slot limit. After verifying that your fish is legal, your guide will ask you if you’d like to keep the fish.
As long as the fish is a legal size, it is YOUR fish. If it’s small but legal, you are free to keep it or release it–it’s your call. Each year the state sets the slot size and limit on how many halibut you can keep and we want to make sure that you’re always happy with the fish you take home.
NOTE: If the fish appears very small at the surface and you wish not to keep it, let the captain or deckhand know, and they can remove the hook without bringing the fish into the boat. It is much safer for the fish and the people on board.
PROTIP: Halibut on the smaller end of the slot are the best for eating! In order to protect the breeding aged halibut, the government has implemented a “reverse slot” where all fish within a given length range are illegal to keep. Lucky for you, the best halibut for eating are the younger halibut that are perfectly legal to keep! Young halibut have that flaky, buttery white meat that we all know and love whereas the big old trophy halibut have meat that is much more dense and difficult to cook.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t catch a trophy halibut at Pybus Point Lodge! If you want to catch something bigger, check out your own boat and go on a self-guided fishing excursion! Self-guided fishermen are allowed to catch up to two halibut of any size every day. If you want to go fishing on your own, just talk to one of our dockhands after arriving at the lodge and they’ll set you up with your own boat and all the gear you need to catch the halibut of your dreams!
FINAL FUN FACT: Be sure to look at the halibut to make sure it is “right eyed”. When you lay a halibut dark side up, it should have its mouth pointing to the right, and thus their eyes on the right side. While many other types of flatfish are left eyed, a left eyed pacific halibut is a 1 in 20,000 chance! Those are bigger odds than most lottery tickets!

Discover why people like you can’t stop talking about Pybus Point Lodge. More than 30 years ago, the lodge opened as a simple fishing camp, drawing a devoted following in spite of basic accommodations. With new owners and experienced captains and crew, our corner of Alaska has become an unbeatable fishing and eco-tourism resort.
Pybus Point Lodge has some of the most stunning scenery I’ve ever seen. I mean absolutely breathtaking! In addition to the amazing fishing, I hiked to a beautiful secluded lake, soaked in some hot pots, saw several waterfalls, went whale watching, saw bears and all kinds of wildlife and marine life. As a photographer, photographing a wedding under a waterfall will remain a highlight of my life.
Pybus Point Lodge - WOW!
We had the best time! This was our first visit to Pybus, but it definitely will not be our last. The stunning scenery, amazing fishing experience, and the joy of meeting new friends – all outstanding! We did not want to leave!!! If you are thinking about this trip – don’t think any more, just book it. You will not regret it!!!
Trip of a Lifetime!
We had such an amazing time the staff was so wonderful and the lodge was fantastic! capt Joe was so helpful and always doing what ever he could do to make each day special. a special thank you to both Scott and Jody for taking the time to make us feel like family. can't wait to go back next year
Wonderful and Magical Place
We had an amazing business retreat to Pybus Point Lodge. Everything was top notch... the fishing, the staff, the boat captains, the food, the accommodations, and especially the scenery. I really liked that Pybus took care of everything from start to finish. Chef John is an amazing cook. We had delicious hot meals the entire trip. The cabins were amazing and very comfortable. The fishing was awesome and that’s coming from a guy that doesn’t fish that much.
We brought home 100lbs of fish!
My wife and I spent a week at Pybus Point this Summer. We had a beautiful, private room overlooking the bay and our own new, ensuite, private bathroom. What an amazing place for couples to get away together. We set our own breakfast time, met our boat captain after, fished the day along, and returned to clean up and enjoy a nice dinner at the restaurant. Next time Alaska is on the trip list, Sherrie and I will go together, and it will be to Pybus Point!
Fun in Alaska
This was my first trip to Pybus Point. I stayed in one of their new cabins. The accommodations were incredible, the view onto the bay in the mornings was stunning. I loved the staff and the food was really very good. All of this and they have new boats to take you out onto fairly calm waters to fish. The fishing guides were great. Overall a great experience. Definitely going back. | <urn:uuid:18937814-1791-43d9-9f4a-150bf0177e8d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pybus.com/blog/halibut-fishing-in-alaska-everything-you-need-to-know-before-visiting-our-all-inclusive-resort | 2023-09-25T00:17:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.948962 | 6,361 |
Top Ansible Interview Questions and Answers
The software industry now relies heavily on automated processes. Ansible streamlines the process of automating and managing configurations for both development and production settings. If you're preparing for an interview based on the tool, you'll want to give yourself enough time to prepare. We have added a list of frequently asked ansible interview questions and answers to help you prepare.
Ansible is an open-source configuration management and automation tool. It simplifies the process of managing and deploying software applications, infrastructure, and networks by using a declarative and human-readable YAML-based language.
Unlike many other tools, Ansible is agentless, communicating with remote systems via SSH, PowerShell, or other native protocols. This eliminates the need for installing and managing software on the managed nodes.
Ansible's focus on simplicity, ease of use, and extensive community support has made it a popular choice for system administrators, developers, and DevOps teams looking to streamline their automation workflows.
This blog has been divided into two sections, the first will focus on beginners, and the other is for experienced candidates.
Ansible Interview Questions and Answers for Freshers
Here are the most-asked Ansible Interview questions for freshers -
Q1 - What is Ansible, and why it stands out from other configuration management tools?
Ansible is a configuration management and automation tool powered by Red Hat and written in Python. Without installing an agent on the remote machine, users may utilize SSH to deploy and update software.
Below are some of Ansible features:
- Simple: Ansible uses a human-readable YAML syntax that is easy to write and understand.
- Agentless: Ansible does not need any agents or daemons running on the target machines.
- Efficient: Ansible reduces the time and effort required to perform IT tasks.
Q2 - How does Ansible work?
This is one of the most asked Ansible interview questions. One must know the working of Ansible as it will demonstrate your basic understanding of the tool.
Ansible can be categorized into two server types: the controlling machine and the node.
The controlling machine is the one on which Ansible is installed and is also responsible for managing the nodes over SSH. Moreover, the node's location is specified by controlling the machine's inventory.
Playbooks run on the controlling machine by Ansible in order to deploy the modules. These modules are then stored temporarily in order to communicate with the Ansible machine via JSON connection over Stdout (standard output).
Due to its agentless nature, Ansible eliminates the need to use an external tool to establish node connections.
Q3 - What is CI/CD?
The term "continuous integration" (CI) refers to a set of practices used to speed up both the development and deployment phases. As a result, there has been a significant acceleration in the advancement of integrated software solutions. An automatic build checks each integration to find integration mistakes as soon as possible.
Continuous Delivery (CD) allows the deployment of code to production at any given time subsequent to its push to a remote repository. It's a method of developing programs in which they're ready for immediate deployment to a live server.
Ansible is a highly suitable platform for both of these processes due to its ability to provide a reliable infrastructure for provisioning the target environment and subsequently deploying the application.
Q4 - What is Playbook?
A playbook is a collection of YAML-formatted files used to execute scripts on remote machines. Instead of remotely issuing each command to each machine, developers may set up complete complicated setups by sending a script to the necessary systems.
Playbooks are a prominent feature of Ansible and are commonly regarded as the fundamental components of the tool.
Q5 - How Ansible is different from Puppet?
Ansible and Puppet are both configuration management tools. The main differences are that Ansible is agentless, using SSH for communication, and has a simple YAML-based syntax. In contrast, Puppet requires an agent on managed nodes and uses its Puppet Language.
Ansible's ease of use and quick setup make it suitable for simple tasks and ad-hoc deployments, while Puppet's agent-based architecture and DSL are preferred for complex and scalable configurations. Ultimately, the choice depends on specific needs and the team's familiarity with the tools.
Here are more differences between Ansible and Puppet -
|Architecture||Agentless, uses SSH to connect to nodes.||Master-agent requires installing an agent on each node.|
|Language||YAML is easy to read and write.||Puppet DSL, a Ruby-based domain-specific language.|
|Scalability||High, can handle thousands of nodes without performance issues.||Moderate, may require additional components to scale up.|
|Community||Large and active, provides many modules and roles.||Larger and more mature, provides thousands of modules and manifests.|
Q6 - What are Ansible modules?
Ansible modules are similar to functions or standalone scripts that execute different operations in an idempotent manner. The output of these functions consists of JSON strings that are displayed in the standard output (stdout). The specific input required by each module varies depending on its type. It is mainly used by Ansible playbooks.
In Ansible, there are two types of modules. These are:
- Core Modules: These modules are directly maintained by the core Ansible team.
- Extras Modules: These modules are maintained by the Ansible community.
Q7 - What are the basic components of Ansible architecture?
Components of Ansible architecture are:
- Modules: The modules manage the libraries, folders, system resources, packages, and other components. Numerous tasks may be automated with the help of Ansible modules.
- Inventories: An inventory refers to an initialization file containing specific information regarding several servers, databases, and IP addresses.
- APIs: These are the interfaces that Ansible mainly uses to communicate with the hosts and execute modules.
- Plugins: These are simply code that's main purpose is to extend or modify Ansible's functionality.
- Playbooks: It is a code file that has been written using the YAML format. A playbook outlines the specific tasks that must be executed or automated.
- Hosts: Hosts refer to the node system that is managed and configured by Ansible. It can run on any OS that supports APIs, the one that Ansible uses.
- Cloud: Instead of using a single server in a single location, In the cloud, data is distributed over a network of remote servers on the Internet.
- CMDB: CMDB stands for Configuration Management Database, and it is a repository of data that describes the assets and relationships in an IT environment.
Q8 - What is Ansible Galaxy?
The Galaxy is a centralized storage location for Ansible roles that allows sharing among users. These roles can be quickly integrated into playbooks for seamless execution. The tool is also utilized to distribute packages that include roles, plugins, and modules, commonly referred to as collections. The ansible-galaxy-collection command functions similarly to other ansible-galaxy commands such as init, build, and install.
Q9 - What is the basic difference between Ansible and Chef?
Ansible and Chef are both popular configuration management tools used for automating infrastructure and application deployment tasks. The fundamental difference lies in their architecture and approach to automation.
Ansible is agentless, which means it does not require any software to be installed on the managed nodes. Instead, it uses SSH or WinRM to communicate and execute tasks remotely, making it lightweight and easy to set up. Ansible uses a simple YAML-based syntax for defining playbooks, which makes it beginner-friendly and highly readable.
On the other hand, Chef follows a client-server model and requires the installation of a Chef client on managed nodes. The Chef client periodically polls the Chef server for configuration updates. Chef utilizes a domain-specific language (DSL) called Ruby-based "Recipes" to define configurations, providing more flexibility and power to experienced users but possibly more complex for beginners.
Q10 - What is Ansible Tower?
It's a web-based corporate solution from Red Hat that makes Ansible more accessible to different IT teams by providing a friendly UI. Its major purpose is to act as a central location for all automation activities inside a company, letting users keep monitors on configurations and do fast deployments.
We have covered the interview questions on Ansible for beginners; now, let's focus on the Ansible Interview Questions for experienced candidates.
Ansible Interview Questions and Answers for Experienced
Q11 - What is Ansible Vault?
Ansible vault is used to encrypt sensitive data like passwords, YAML playbooks, or even a single value rather than using plain text. This way, you can protect your data from unauthorized access while still being able to use it in your Ansible playbooks.
In order to create an encrypted file, you can use the command "ansible-vault create".
If you want to create a new encrypted file, you can use -
ansible-vault create filename.yml
If you want to encrypt an existing plain text file, you can use -
ansible-vault encrypt filename.yml
If you want to decrypt an encrypted file, you can use -
ansible-vault decrypt filename.yml
Q12 - What are Ad-hoc commands in Ansible?
Ad-hoc commands refer to short, single-line commands that may be executed independently to accomplish a specific purpose efficiently. These commands do not need to be executed at a later time. Playbooks are often used for executing repetitive actions, while ad-hoc commands are utilized for carrying out non-repetitive tasks.
Ad-hoc commands, due to their one-time use nature, are not often employed for the purposes of configuration management and deployment. They are most suitable for rarely repeated tasks. The execution of an Ansible ad-hoc command involves utilizing the /usr/bin/ansible command-line tool.
Q13 - What is the best way to make Content Reusable/Redistributable?
Using ansible roles is the best way to make content reusable and redistributable. Roles are collections of tasks, variables, or files that can further be applied to different hosts or groups available. They help in breaking down your Ansible code, making it easier to manage and share with other users.
For example, if you have 20 tasks on 10 separate systems, writing all of them separately in the playbook might cause confusion; instead, we create 20 roles and then call all the roles in the playbook.
Q14 - How does the Ansible firewalld module work?
The Ansible firewalld module is utilized for managing firewall rules on host machines. The functionality of this system is similar to that of the Linux firewalld daemon, as it gives the freedom to the user to allow or block services from the port.
Two main concepts of firewalld module are:
- Zones: This is the location where we can specify which services are accessible to a location that is connected to the local network interface.
- Services: A service is a predefined set of ports and protocols that can be allowed or denied by the firewall.
Q15 - How do you test Ansible projects?
Testing Ansible projects is one of the crucial steps to maintain the quality and reliability of your automation. Below are three types of testing methods for Ansible projects.
- Asserts: It duplicates the test execution process in other programming languages like Python. One can use it to check the state of a system, the output of a command, and a variable's value. It determines whether a task has effectively carried out the intended function and made the necessary modifications to the relevant resources.
- Check mode: In this mode, one can run Ansible projects without making any changes to target hosts. The roles and playbooks' scripts and commands cannot be executed in check mode. So, one has to disable the check mode by using the command check_mode: no
- Manual run: It is simply running your Ansible projects on testing environments prior to deployment. A manual run is useful for testing the functionality and performance of your Ansible project and for catching any errors or bugs that might occur.
Q16 - What is Idempotency?
Idempotency is one of the crucial features of Ansible. It avoids any unnecessary modifications or changes to the managed hosts. Idempotency allows you to repeat the execution of one or more tasks on a server as much as necessary without causing any changes that have already been modified and are functioning properly.
In simple terms, the only changes or modifications made are those that were not previously in place.
Q17 - Can you increase the Ansible default reboot module? If yes, how?
Yes, you can increase the ansible default reboot module value. You may reboot a remote host and wait for it to come back online using the Ansible reboot module. The module fails after 600 seconds by default. If your host reboots slowly, increase this timeout. You can use the command reboot_timeout in the reboot module to increase the value.
-name: reboot the host
Ansible will wait 900 seconds before failing. Adjust this number to your requirements and host reboot time.
Q18 - What do you mean by 'facts' in Ansible?
When we execute an Ansible playbook, it first collects information ('facts,' a comprehensive list of all the environment characteristics) about each host in the play. Information gathering during playbook execution, such as host IP address, CPU type, disk space, OS information, and network interface information, can be used to modify the timing of tasks or the values used in configuration files.
The 'ansible munin -m setup' command can be utilized with the setup module to obtain a comprehensive list of all gathered facts.
Facts can be manually set using the set_fact module or by passing variables to the ansible-playbook command.
Q19 - What is a handler in Ansible?
Similar to standard playbook tasks, handlers are only executed when notified by another task. The main.yaml file under roles/role_name>/handlers are where the handlers are loaded automatically. The handlers mentioned may be accessed by any task associated with the given role and by any tasks associated with other roles that have listed the given role as a dependency. The handlers are executed only once after all tasks are executed in a specific play.
In the event of a failure of the play on a specific host or all hosts before the handlers are alerted or notified, the handlers will not be executed unless handlers are explicitly forced to run using the command line flag --force-handlers during playbook execution.
Q20 - Explain Ansible tags.
The use of Ansible tags is advantageous in cases when the playbook is large. The ability to selectively execute selected sections of a playbook, rather than executing the whole playbook, may prove to be advantageous.
For example, a playbook creates five users, but you only need two of them; the tag feature comes in quite handy.
During the execution of a playbook, tasks can be filtered out using two different steps, these are:
- Using the command line, i.e., tags or –skip-tags options
- Using Ansible configurations setting TAGS_RUN and TAGS_SKIP options
Skip is used to skip one or more than one tag, while -tags are used to execute one or more than one tag that is associated with another mentioned tag.
Every aspiring student who is looking to crack the Ansible interview should be familiar with the fundamentals of Ansible since it is a powerful tool for automating IT operations. The Ansible interview questions and answers that this blog covers will help students or professionals to understand Ansible in detail and also assist in cracking the interview.

Imagery data are represented by positive digital numbers which vary from 0 to (one less than) a selected power of 2. This range corresponds to the number of bits used for coding numbers in binary format. Each bit records an exponent of power 2 (e.g. 1 bit=2 1=2). The maximum number of brightness levels available depends on the number of bits used in representing the energy recorded. Thus, if a sensor used 8 bits to record the data, there would be 28=256 digital values available, ranging from 0 to 255. However, if only 4 bits were used, then only 24=16 values ranging from 0 to 15 would be available. Thus, the radiometric resolution would be much less. Image data are generally displayed in a range of grey tones, with black representing a digital number of 0 and white representing the maximum value (for example, 255 in 8-bit data). By comparing a 2-bit image with an 8-bit image, we can see that there is a large difference in the level of detail discernible depending on their radiometric resolutions.
This illustration shows two hands juggle three balls representing radiometric, spectral and spatial resolution. This demonstrates that the user must continuously make tradeoffs between these three resolutions.
...that there are trade-offs between spatial, spectral, and radiometric resolution which must be taken into consideration when engineers design a sensor. For high spatial resolution, the sensor has to have a small IFOV (Instantaneous Field of View). However, this reduces the amount of energy that can be detected as the area of the ground resolution cell within the IFOV becomes smaller. This leads to reduced radiometric resolution - the ability to detect fine energy differences. To increase the amount of energy detected (and thus, the radiometric resolution) without reducing spatial resolution, we would have to broaden the wavelength range detected for a particular channel or band. Unfortunately, this would reduce the spectral resolution of the sensor. Conversely, coarser spatial resolution would allow improved radiometric and/or spectral resolution. Thus, these three types of resolution must be balanced against the desired capabilities and objectives of the sensor.
The last bullet point is also one of the most important ones from an ecosystem point of view. Because NumPy provides an easy-to-use C API, it is very easy to pass data to external libraries written in a low-level language and also for external libraries to return data to Python as NumPy arrays. This feature has made Python a language of choice for wrapping legacy C/C++/Fortran codebases and giving them a dynamic and easy-to-use interface.
In this chapter and throughout the book, I use the standard NumPy convention of always using import numpy as np. You are, of course, welcome to put from numpy import * in your code to avoid having to write np., but I would caution you against making a habit of this.
If your goal was to simulate many random walks, say 5,000 of them, you can generate all of the random walks with minor modifications to the above code. The numpy.random functions if passed a 2-tuple will generate a 2D array of draws, and we can compute the cumulative sum across the rows to compute all 5,000 random walks in one shot:
The 11-bit CAN ID is referred to as the Communication Object Identifier (COB-ID) and is split in two parts:By default, the first 4 bits equal a function code and the next 7 bits contain the node ID.
How does it work To change state, the NMT master sends a 2-byte message with CAN ID 0 (i.e. function code 0 and node ID 0). All slave nodes process this message. The 1st CAN data byte contains the requested state - while the 2nd CAN data byte contains the node ID of the targeted node. The node ID 0 indicates a broadcast command.
As CANopen is based on CAN bus, you can store your CANopen decoding rules in the standardized CAN database format, a CAN DBC file. With this, you can directly decode your raw CANopen data in open source software/API tools for the CANedge, including the asammdf GUI, telematics dashboards and Python API tools.
We can attach a code reader to your car's computer, then diagnose and troubleshoot the warning light. If you'dlike to get a sense of what that Acura A12 Service light means before you call, our maintenance code chart belowcan offer the peace of mind you're looking for.
We'll go over some of what you need to know regarding these maintenance minder codes, as well as how to contactour Acura service department. Set up an appointment on your time and learn about our current service costs, service specials, and maintenance schedules from the experts who know yourcar.
When that Acura B14 Service light comes on, you might be concerned there's a severe issue with your vehicle. Thebest thing to do is call our dealership to schedule an Acura B Service. When you call, we'll also go over whatyou need to know regarding these maintenance minder codes and tell you about any service specials or oil change coupons we're currently offering. In themeantime, we've put together an Acura Maintenance Minder chart of codes and meanings.
Let's say an A1 code has been illuminated on your new Acura TLX. What does thatmean In the maintenance chart above, we can see that an A Main Code means it's time to replace the engine oiland a 1-Sub Code means tire rotation. Therefore, an A1 means it's time to change the oil and rotate the tires.
With this in mind, an A12 code would mean you need an oil change, tire rotation, air cleaner, drive belt, and acabin air filter. B123 would refer to an oil change, tire rotation, brake inspection, parking brake, cabin air filter, drive belt,and transmission fluid.
Notice how some subcodes overlap with the B-code services. A13 would be an oil change, tire rotation, andtransmission fluid. A16 would be an oil change, tire rotation, and rear differential fluid. B14 would mean oilchange, tire rotation, engine coolant flush, and so on.
The A-code is determined by the algorithm according to driving conditions. For instance, if you're driving for arideshare service in an urban area, the algorithm will recognize that you're logging more city driving andrecommend an oil change sooner than driving 20,000 highway miles. These codes are user-specific, as MaintenanceMinder knows that things like oil changes aren't a one-size-fits-all service.
The B-codes and subcodes aren't necessarily a lower priority than oil changes. They are important for totalvehicle maintenance and should be performed according to schedule. Even things that may seem like a lowerpriority are still important regarding your vehicle's reliability, resale value, longevity, and continuedwarranty coverage.
Having top-tier and subcode maintenance performed simultaneously means that the system's codes stay in sync witheach other, and you won't be getting confused about what service was performed when. Missing service intervalswill be a thing of the past. Remember that the Maintenance Minder might also shorten service intervals forthings like tire rotations to keep them harmonized with A-code maintenance.
So if you see Acura Maintenance codes and reminders for B16, A13, B13, A123, A14, or any other combination, goahead and schedule Acura service with our tire or service center, and we'll bemore than happy to take care of it for you.
Acura service codes are visual alerts illuminating your vehicle's dashboard, driver information center, or Head-UpDisplay. These codes alert you that it's time to schedule routine maintenance, such as an oil change, tire rotation,brake inspection, or that there is a more serious issue present. If an Acura A12 Service alert is on, call ourservice department to schedule your next auto repair.

Symbol tables are an important data structure created and maintained by compilers to store information associated with identifiers in a given source code. This information is entered into the symbol tables during lexical and syntax analysis and is used in the later phases of compilation. As the declarations of classes, interfaces, variables, and methods are processed, their identifiers are bound to corresponding entries in the symbol tables. When uses of these identifiers are encountered in the source code, the compiler looks them up in the symbol tables and relies on this information for things such as verifying that a variable has been declared, determining the scope of a variable, and verifying that an expression is semantically correct with type checking. Symbol tables are also used for code generation and optimization .
Fig. 1(a) shows how an undeclared variable, in this case the identifier average on line 9, results in two instances of the cannot find symbol error, at the positions where they appear in the code. Declaring this variable by specifying its data type (or, alternatively, inferring its type with the var keyword in Java 10+) resolves the issue (Fig. 1(b)).
Using classes, either from the Java platform or any library, requires importing them correctly with the import statement. Failing to do so will result in the cannot find symbol error being raised by the Java compiler. The code snippet in Fig. 4(a) makes use of the java.util.List class without declaring the corresponding import, therefore the cannot find symbol error occurs. Adding the missing import statement (line 4 in Fig. 4(b)) solves the problem. 1e1e3 | <urn:uuid:9c6053fe-c8e6-48b4-a67b-e61a8485b87c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.qelicacare.com/forum/all-about-mouth-spray/car-radio-code-calculator-v2-0-127-link | 2023-09-25T00:44:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.915546 | 2,146 |
We have a dedicated Air Traffic Management (ATM) team which provides independent advice on regulatory, technical and safety matters to support operational concepts and aviation technology systems including Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) and Air Traffic Control Systems (ATC) (both existing and proposed).
Our customers include Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), civil aviation regulators, military air traffic control authorities, equipment Delivery Teams and agencies and EUROCONTROL.
Strategy and Procurement Support
Our Air Traffic Management (ATM) team works closely with Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to formulate their future aviation strategies and support the full Air Traffic Control (ATC) system procurement lifecycle.
This has notably been demonstrated through work with the Norwegian ANSP, Avinor, helping them determine their future strategy for providing cost-effective air surveillance services in challenging environments; and through work with the MOD for modernising the provision of its terminal air traffic control system services.
Our Air Traffic Management team can offer:
- Independent advice covering Air Traffic Management technology, standards and regulation, operations, safety and economic factors;
- General programme support to ensure that ATC systems procurement programmes address operational and regulatory requirements, and are compatible with the emerging SESAR environment;
- Advice on civil-military aviation interoperability in the Air Traffic Management domain;
- Enterprise Architecture ATC solutions enabling customers to visualise and optimise strategies for the procurement of future ATC and ATM infrastructure and the development of the accompanying procedures in a cost effective and timely manner.
We can offer Air Traffic Management safety advice on a broad range of ATM-related areas. For example, for the past 5 years we have provided Customer Friend support to the MOD’s Project MARSHALL*, including development of the Air Safety Management Plan, Part 1 Safety Case Report, Aviation Safety Management System and Safety Standards Register.
We have played an integral role in providing Air Traffic Management safety advice and evaluation of the bidders’ safety submissions during the tender process and following down select.
Key capabilities include the following:
- ATM Safety advice: for example, tailoring the response to regulatory and standards’ requirements appropriate to the specific project context and scope;
- Preliminary Hazard Identification and Assessment (PHI&A);
- Production of Part 1 and Part 4 Safety Case reports;
- Development of Aviation Safety Management Systems;
- Writing Safety Management Plans;
- Development of Safety Standards Registers.
Airspace Management and Change
With increasing numbers of airspace users, the optimised structuring and use of airspace is essential for ensuring efficient and safe operations.
Our Air Traffic Management team has a keen appreciation of the interests and concerns of the disparate stakeholder groups, such as commercial aviation operators, General Aviation, military, and operators of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) / Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
For example, we worked closely with NATS (the UK's main Air Navigation Service Provider ANSP) in the development of the Hebrides Airspace change to ensure minimal disruption to civil transatlantic flights. The design (shape) aligns to civil air routes and accommodates route free airspace as well as satisfying the maritime requirements. The design of the airspace, associated letters of agreement and airspace protocols were approved by the national airspace regulator (CAA) and successfully implemented in February 2015. Our experts also developed the Airspace Change Proposals that led to the establishment of specialist segregated airspace for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for the Wales UAS Environment at Aberporth and in the vicinity of the MOD’s exercise area on Salisbury Plain.
We can offer:
- Airspace Change Proposals (including running of the public consultation process);
- Modelling of Airspace Utilisation (e.g. levels of General Aviation usage in Class G airspace);
- Advice on the technical, operational and regulatory aviation issues related to RPAS;
- Assessments of the operational impact of wind turbines.
Air Surveillance Performance
We have been closely involved in many of the major developments in ATM air surveillance technology from the earliest developments of surveillance radar through secondary surveillance radar to the latest multilateration and ADS-B techniques.
We are proactive in developing surveillance technologies and their international standards through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), RTCA and EUROCAE groups. We have world-renowned experts in the field of aircraft surveillance technology who are able to offer our customers the best independent advice.
Our team can offer:
- Advice on air surveillance system deployment, particularly the new technologies of ADS-B and multilateration;
- Impartial support in procurement, integration and validation of new aircraft surveillance systems;
- Performance analysis of new or existing surveillance systems, ensuring systems are fit for purpose and operating to their full potential;
- Radio frequency spectrum modelling for the secondary surveillance environment;
- Development of safety cases;
- Air surveillance training in all aspects of surveillance technology (Mode S, ADS-B, multilateration, TCAS), and also in surveillance data distribution and processing;
- Integration and licensing support for Identification Friend and Foe systems in the civil aviation domain.
Airborne and Ground-Based Safety Nets
Aviation safety nets enhance overall aircraft safety by providing warnings to the pilot/controller of potentially hazardous mid-air situations.
We have over 20 years’ experience in the ground based and airborne safety nets domains; having world-class expertise in both airborne safety nets, namely: Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS); and ground-based safety nets, namely: Short Term Conflict Alert (STCA), Minimum Safe Altitude Warning (MSAW), Approach Path Monitoring (APM) and Area Proximity Warning (APW).
We can offer:
- Support during all phases of the ground-based safety net lifecycle, including system procurement, system design, verification and validation. We also provide support for optimisation of the ground-based safety net system both before and during operational service.
- Development of safety net analysis tools, including fast-time safety net modelling for parameter optimisation and system validation. | <urn:uuid:44efc1dd-3639-4be2-81c1-11c8fa20ae5b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.qinetiq.com/en/what-we-do/services-and-products/air-traffic-management | 2023-09-25T00:46:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.893614 | 1,304 |
Whilst making the updates I noticed that the language definition for UltraEdit hasn't been download anywhere near as many times as the others. It was originally produced at the request of a customer who used UltraEdit and so I never really knew how popular it was these days. This got me wondering what text editors people were using to edit Qlik script files. So curiosity get the better of me and I tweeted a quick poll to find out what people's preferences were. After 24 hours the results were in and the tweets I received were read. A huge thanks to everyone who responded!
Some of the results were of no surprise to me at all. UltraEdit didn't receive a single vote or mention and so although I won't be completely abandoning it, it certainly isn't going to be near the top of my "to do list" from now on.
Another unsurprising result was that Notepad++ was far ahead of any other with 84% of the votes. My Notepad++ language definition is by far the most downloaded of any I've produced with well over 10,000 downloads since I moved the code to GitHub alone.
What did surprise me was that two editors I thought might be popular, Atom and Brackets, didn't receive a single vote or mention. It seems these relatively new tools might be popular with web developers but haven't caught on with Qlik devs yet.
The most suggested tool for a new syntax highlighting was Microsoft's Visual Studio code. Having taken a look, there is already an extension available which, although not perfect, is a great start. The extension can be found in the Visual Studio Marketplace and was produced by Xavier Hahn. I've reached out to Xavier and hopefully we'll be collaborate to improve this extension rather than starting from scratch myself. Watch this space for updates!!!
Other notable mentions were OxygenXML and Sublime Text. As the name suggests, the former was originally intended for working with XML files. I've done some quick digging and I didn't find anything about defining new languages for it. So I'll have to keep looking (get in touch if you know how or can point me to some info). Sublime Text is a great editor, but where as most of the others mentioned here are free, Sublime costs USD$80. Because of this, I had initially written off the idea thinking the potential user base might be limited like UltraEdit. However, I've since realised that Sublime, Visual Studio Code and Atom all use the same standard for defining a language (TextMate Languages). And so if we manage to get the VS Code extension working well, the others might be very simple to add also.
If you have any suggestions for other text editors, spot any problems with the existing Qlik syntax highlighting tools or wish to collaborate on one of them, leave me a comment below or drop me a message on twitter. | <urn:uuid:64028ddb-99d6-4540-a6fa-e50ae947316c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.qlikviewaddict.com/2018/02/text-editors-for-qlik-developers.html | 2023-09-24T23:18:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.976556 | 586 |
How Do Businesses Gain From Online Marketing and Advertising?
Do you plan on marketing your company online? There are many ways to expand the awareness of your products on the web, including search engine optimization, social media marketing, article writing, and web ads, each of which delivers unique benefits to a business.
Let’s look at some critical perks that web marketing and advertising offer companies today:
Online Market Penetration
The web, particularly social media and Google, registers billions of visit per day. That’s a lot of traffic, and to deflect some of it to your business site, you have to harness online-based media to market and advertise. It’s the most reliable way to expand your web visibility and reach out to a larger online customer-base.
Web marketing is extremely efficient as opposed to conventional strategies such as TV or newspaper campaigns. For example, SEO is effective because it targets a specific audience that’s interested in the product on sale. Such a strategy helps put your marketing budget to the optimal applications.
Consider the fact that around 3.5 billion queries are run on Google each day. You may harness SEO and increase the search engine visibility of your web enterprise, increasing the chances of being found via Google if you offer the answers or solutions being sought. This is considered cost-effective because your online marketing efforts are being focused on people looking for something you have, rather than a general audience watching news or a favorite TV show.
Value for Money
If the buyers you’re attracting with your social media advertising or SEO end up on your site and purchase as intended, you have an impressive return on investment. Your web marketing investment eventually makes sense with a rise in your website traffic and conversion rates.
Reliable Measurements of Performance
If you’ve ever advertised on TV, newspaper, and billboards at once, you know it’s difficult to tell which one of such media is responsible for what purchases, inquiries, orders, signups, etc your company registered during a specific marketing period. That’d be tricky because most such results cannot always be traced back to the advertising platform.
However, internet marketing is different because it’s backed by reliable analytical tools that marketers can use to track the performance of each media or channel used. With such analytics, you can see how many people come to your business website through Google, Facebook, Twitter, or email marketing, for example. Still, such assessments may focus on pinpointing the words that visitors with the highest conversion rates typed on Google before discovering your product offerings. You could refine your overall web marketing approach based on the insights gathered regarding its most fruitful and as well as failing aspects.
Boost your rankings on Google through online marketing, guaranteeing an extensive web market reach. | <urn:uuid:3df87480-db2b-4ff6-855f-ad27c71ad931> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.qpict.net/discovering-the-truth-about-experts.html | 2023-09-25T01:04:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.944063 | 570 |

International gold prices have risen by 11% for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. During the same period gold prices in india have risen by 21.2% on account of the depreciating Rupee.
The big question is whether gold prices will rise or fall over the next six months? or what will be the price of gold at the end of the year? That is anybody’s guess today. Historical data may provide some indication on the likely direction of gold prices.
International gold price trends during each of the calendar years starting from 2002 are given below. Returns shown in the graph below, are the absolute returns on gold till the end of the calendar year, assuming purchase at the average price of gold between June and July of that year.
|Source for all charts: Bloomberg.|
Past performance of gold may or may not be
sustained in the future.;
From the above data it is apparent that investors who invested near the average prices of gold between June and July of the last 5 calendar years, would have got positive returns on their investment within the same calendar year.
What returns investors will get upto the end of 2008 by investing in gold today is not known. However, historical data suggests that the returns on gold during these periods have been positive with the least being 3.6% and the maximum has been 26.23%. The average returns have been 14.81%. On an annualized basis these figures would exactly be double of what they are shown above.
So going by historical trends, if you are looking to buy gold in this year, then this period (June - July) could be be the best time to buy gold.
Buy Gold now... Buy Quantum Gold Fund (ETF).

The whatsapp message read that after Nestle’s “Maggi” was banned 90% of the women on matrimonial websites removed cooking as a skill they possessed! ☺
This statement made me laugh and also made me realise the popularity of Maggi. For those of us born in early 60’s or earlier, food was largely the fresh variety. Those born in later years were exposed to processed food, and Maggi played a large role in their lives. The ban on sale of Maggi is a serious issue for Nestle. The risk committee at Nestle may have discussed various risks including regulatory risks such as the one they are facing now. Looking at the initial reaction of the company to this problem, in my view it appears that the company gave a low probability to such regulatory risks, and when it happened, were caught totally off guard.
Risks cannot always be completely eliminated, they just get reorganised. Some gain in strength while others fade away. It is like energy levels, it subsides in one place and resurfaces strongly elsewhere.
Nestle got into trouble when the food safety authorities in Uttar Pradesh state tested the contents of Maggi and found the level of lead content to be beyond the permissible limits. The testing and the subsequent judgement has raised many questions and has added new risks for the food industry.
Some obvious questions are...
|1.||What are the food standards in India? On what basis did Nestle sell its Maggi product for all these years? What are the standards for the “good for health” products such as honey, chayawanprash?|
|2.||What are the standards for packaged and street food?|
|3.||What will be the impact on health of all those who consumed this product? Is there a contingent liability that the companies may be forced to create?|
|4.||What regulations could be in force in future?and the cost of complying with those standards?|
What could be the impact on Nestle? When will they be allowed to re-launch Maggi? Do they have alternative plans to recover the loss?
Similar to the unanticipated risk that Nestle faced, investors may also face unanticipated risks to their investments.
Lessons for investors
|1.||Risks change colour, if one risk is addressed, something else may come up. The composition of risk may change and you can move risk from here to there, but is never completely eliminated.|
|2.||Be alert, and regularly review your financial needs and resources available to meet those needs.|
|3.||If the financial plans have been created based on a set of assumptions, then try tweaking those assumptions and test your plan with the new set of assumptions.|
|4.||Have some clarity on what needs to be changed in your financial plans if the new set of assumptions turns out to be true.|
Some of the unanticipated risks for investors could be:
|1.||The earning member of the family passes away. Death is certain but most of the investors would assume a long life while making financial and saving plans. What happens if death occurs earlier?|
|2.||The land which you purchased near the ocean gets marked as no construction zone by the local planner. The purchase price of the land is large and is of reduced value now. How to salvage the situation?|
|3.||Your son or daughter gets admission in to a well-known college abroad and you had not planned for this. You do not want to disappoint the child. An urgent need for cash has arisen. What to do? Can some assets be quickly liquidated?|
|4.||You take a housing loan, and the small and boutique consulting firm that you worked for closes down, because the lift in which the CEO and the deputy CEO were going together to their office floors, crashed and grievously hurt and incapacitated them.|
Many risks can be anticipated and an investor can save and invest prudently to address these risks.
Some of the ways in reducing or addressing risks to have a backup or a contingency plan in case things go wrong are:
|1.||Diversification across asset classes and within an asset class. For example the investor could diversify his investment across equities, debt, gold and property. In properties, the diversification can be done by investing in different locations and in different types of properties such as commercial, or residential.|
|2.||Taking adequate insurance maybe an answer to some of situational risks stated in the above para.|
|3.||Urgent need of cash could be addressed by having some proportion of investments in assets that can be liquidated quickly.|
But some time the unanticipated risks occur. Despite the well laid out plans to overcome some of the risks that may turn up at your door, there could be situations that an investor never thought as a possibility. Courage, moral strength, smart thinking would be needed to face and come up with solutions to handle such situations.

With the General Election on November 6th, we have an opportunity to select from a wide array of candidates to serve for the next 2-4 years. Here in West County, we have elections for:
RICHMOND MAYOR (1)
RICHMOND CITY COUNCIL (3)
15th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT (1)
WEST CONTRA COSTA BOARD OF EDUCATION (3)
CONTRA COSTA SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS (1)
PINOLE CITY COUNCIL (3)
HERCULES CITY COUNCIL (2)
SAN PABLO CITY COUNCIL (2)
EL CERRITO CITY COUNCIL (2)
There are other 'Special Districts' which include, among others, transit districts, water districts and sanitary districts. Learn more about those by going to:
When possible, Radio Free Richmond attends candidate forums, video records them, posts them to YouTube and then shares the links. Learning of these forums is almost as difficult as learning national secrets. If anyone knows of a forum coming up, please share this information with Radio Free Richmond by emailing the editor at [email protected].
It costs a fortune to run a campaign and with limited financial resources, getting a message out to the voters can be next to impossible. For instance, for the WCCUSD School Board, there are 121,075 registered voters in 66,017 households. Now try to imagine what it might cost to send just one small mailer to each household. A candidate can have the solutions to all of the problems but if they can't get their message out, how can they expect to win?
These forums can help educate the electorate. As new forums come up, Radio Free Richmond will try to keep the public informed.

This wasn’t the way it was supposed to be.
We were supposed to be back by now. This church full to the brim, if not overflowing in the pictures I had in my mind, including the candlelight service for those who stay up past their normal bedtimes. We would be having people over for an overladen Christmas buffet, and we’d be talking about the joy of having survived a pandemic as we raised another glass. Our family would then be hopping a plane on the 26th to the desert Southwest for the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park to celebrate 25 years of marriage, 50 years of my life, and a decade of shared ministry here at St. Mark’s. Instead I am preach a Christmas Eve sermon to you while looking at a camera and my son sitting behind a computer screen and nothing else is stirring, not even a mouse. Our vacation remains on hold, our feast and raised glasses substantially toned down, and the only people we’ll see will be found in those tiny boxes of impending Zoom.
This is definitely not the way it was supposed to be.
Which I’m sure were exactly Mary’s thoughts as she rode that donkey late in her last trimester to go from the comforts of home to her fiancé’s family’s hometown. That route is 100 miles these days if you take the Yitzhak Rabin Highway. Zipping along at a good clip, you’ll make it in 2 and a half hours if you time it right with traffic. But even today, with a woman in her last stages of pregnancy, you’ll be due for at least one stop along the way. But in Mary and Joseph’s day? You’re talking 3 or 4 days as a best case, and more likely 6 or 7. With Braxton Hicks contractions and being overly tired, and the stiffness of sleeping outdoors overnight, and the pain of riding that blasted donkey, oh I’m quite sure Mary was thinking this was not how it was supposed to be.
And then when they finally got to Joseph’s ancestral village, they couldn’t find a single room to stay in. In other words, distant and not so distant relatives didn’t want anything to do with them, given their pre-marital status and Mary’s rather large belly. What they did get were icy stares, and whispering behind their backs, and people shaking their heads wondering how Joseph who had been such a nice boy could get into a mess like this. His fiancée pregnant before the wedding? Scandalous. And if they thought that they would be getting a wedding present from them when the time came, well, they were sorely mistaken. So, Luke tells us, Mary and Joseph found their way to a place where the animals were kept because there was no room for them in the inn.
But regardless if this was the way it was supposed to be or not, that baby came all the same. “While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a manger.” It was not at all what she expected, but it was still wonderful in its simplicity all the same. The little one she held in her arms had been promised by the messenger Gabriel earlier that year. And that same angel told Joseph in a dream that this baby would bring about salvation for his people. And after the months of waiting, this babe had finally come into the world. Was it what they imagined? Lord, no. But it was perfect.
Not in that Hallmark perfect sort of way, mind you. Clearly the Holy Family is still in the barn, and while manger scenes depicted on Christmas cards these days are all neat and tidy, I can assure you that it isn’t nearly always the case. Most holiday depictions have Mary and Joseph looking bright and cheery, and the infant Jesus calm and serene, which is a far cry from the reality I remember when our kids were born. Dark circles took up residence under our eyes as utter exhaustion became a way of life. The little one got hungry quick, and then there was all the frustration and anxiety when that baby couldn’t figure out how to latch right away. Tears flowed freely, and emotions ran high. It was not even close to “perfect” like the way it gets shown on those cards with everyone in their places and smiling and looking directly at the camera.
But perhaps the reality of what took place back then can be a balm to us now. Perhaps this year more than any other can finally shatter the reality that Christmases—and our lives—don’t need to be perfect after all. As gifts get lost in the mail, or finances run much too tight; as we gather with the same ones we’ve been cooped up with for the last nine months, or once more finding ourselves entirely alone; as we stare at the place a loved one used to sit or wish that things in our world could be so much different, it’s a relief to know that when the Son of God came it wasn’t to a wealthy official living in a palace. He came to an unmarried couple who had been relegated to an outbuilding.
And instead of being heralded with fireworks and trumpets and proclamations as befitting his status, his first visitors were the poor shepherds working the graveyard shift nearby who had been tipped off by some angels. Keep in mind that Mary and Joseph didn’t see the heavenly host in their vast array, they just had to take the shepherds’ word for it. And at the end of it all, Luke writes, Mary held on to and treasured the experience in her heart and the shepherds praised God.
It was smashingly, achingly perfect.
Because in the last analysis, the point of Jesus’ birth is not to bring a windfall to merchants, or a pile of gifts to our kids. It is not to have our homes ready for a photo shoot, or a table straight out of Bon Appétit. The point is to simply celebrate the coming of this one who is called Emmanuel. God with us. God with us. No matter where we are or where we have been, God remains with us. No matter the circumstances swirling around us, if we are in the midst of the best year ever or the annus horribilis, God remains present. No matter how far we have wandered from home or those we love, God is with us.
That is the good news of this night, the truth first experienced by a young couple forced to remain out in the cold. Jesus broke into our dark world on that silent and holy night and with his birth God proclaimed that we would never be alone again. That each person who has walked the face of this planet can be assured that God would be with them through it all, no matter how difficult.
No, this Christmas is not at all what any of us expected, but perhaps it can be the one that finally and fully convinces us of the depth of God’s love for us. That in the bleak midwinter, a child was born in order to lead us to life. To bring us hope. To offer us joy. And as filmmaker and lawyer Valarie Kaur describes it: “Joy is the gift of love.” She continues, “Grief is the price of love. Anger protects that which is loved. And when we think we have reached our limit, wonder is the act that returns us to love.” Jesus has come into the world this night for us. Let us gather at the manger in wonder. Let us return once more to love. | <urn:uuid:416cd5cf-02bc-449a-83aa-255a160ebb6b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ramblingpriest.com/christmas-doesnt-need-to-be-perfect/ | 2023-09-24T23:57:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.981362 | 1,624 |

7 Ways the CSI Effect is Altering Our Courtrooms (For Better and For Worse)
We’ve all been there: sitting on the edge of our seat, popcorn in hand, completely caught up in the latest crime drama unfolding before us on our television screen.
A greedy son murders his parents to get his hands on their life insurance payout. Newly discovered DNA evidence is used to crack an unsolved mystery from decades ago. No matter how many times we see similar storylines unfold, we can’t help but be enthralled.
Scroll through your local listings and you’ll notice the breadth of crime shows on TV these days. This speaks volumes to the mass interest and curiosity of the criminal justice system amongst the general public.
Between the dramatized “true crime” shows and the straight up fictionalized programs, there’s no shortage of crime and legal programming in our lives. This is causing many legal professionals to notice the lines blurring between real life circumstances and Hollywood’s portrayal of it. It’s called the CSI effect and it’s changing modern day courtrooms.
What is the CSI effect?
The term was coined after the long-running television show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The CSI effect is prosecutors’ belief that crime programs are skewing jurors’ courtroom expectations, ultimately making it more difficult to win their cases and convict defendants.
Naysayers question the existence of the CSI effect, or they think it’s just part of a bigger problem. Some believe technology in general is the real culprit. Yet the belief is persistent—CSI and other crime programs are seeping into our courtrooms and influencing jurors.
The concept doesn’t seem to be too much of a stretch, considering CSI was once deemed the most watched show in the world and has entertained millions of viewers since it first aired in 2000. And studies suggest that regular CSI viewers hold higher expectations for courtroom evidence than non-viewers. Other studies have revealed CSI viewers are also likely to frequently watch other law-related TV shows.
The media is saturated with programming centering on crime and law. But what effect does this TV crime consumption have in our real-life courtrooms? Keep reading to learn about seven ways it’s changing the game, for better and for worse.
Negative effects of the CSI effect
1. It’s become more difficult to prosecute defendants
Today’s jurors want more hard evidence. They want the smoking gun and the DNA proof—the unmistakable proof that points to the perpetrator. But any legal professional will tell you this doesn’t always exist.
Some think this is why high-profile defendants like Casey Anthony and Robert Blake were acquitted in recent years. Circumstantial evidence and even eye-witness accounts don’t cut it in the shadow of the high-tech, flashy world of CSI and other shows. 21st century jurors are expecting sophisticated science to be included in every trial—even though it may not always reflect the reality of the case.
2. It’s become harder to find jurors
In light of the CSI effect, some states now allow lawyers to dismiss potential jurors from the pool based on the TV programs they watch. Lawyers may flag and remove jurors that enjoy their weekly dose of CSI and other crime programs. This is starting to limit the pool of potential candidates to serve in criminal court cases.
3. It’s straining already tight resources
To feed jurors’ appetites for bulletproof forensic evidence, some investigators have started to run seemingly useless tests simply to garner more evidence to bolster their case and appease the jury members. These tests add more strain to already-tight budgets in death investigations across the US.
4. It’s manipulating crime scenes
Criminals have access to the same television programming as the rest of us. Some believe the surplus in crime shows is changing their behavior as well. While these programs are not always entirely true, many of the proceedings are based upon facts.
Criminals are taking notes and becoming more skilled at covering their tracks. They know to wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, and they know to use bleach to clean up incriminating evidence.
5. Defense lawyers are spending too much time educating juries
While all may seem well for the defendant in the age of the CSI effect, it’s not exactly the case. Defense teams must meticulously present and explain DNA and other forensic evidence to juries—defining what is to be expected and what exists solely on the silver screen.
Juries also have difficulty understanding forensic evidence, like DNA, which is calculated in probabilities rather than certainties. As a result, defense teams often waste valuable time throughout the trial ensuring jurors’ expectations and understandings are clear.
Positive effects of the CSI effect
6. Jurors are becoming more knowledgeable
While CSI-viewers tend to have higher expectations for scientific evidence in trials, they also show patterns of superior legal knowledge compared to their non-CSI-watching counterparts. One survey indicated that CSI viewers were more likely to expect evidence relevant to a specific crime than non-CSI viewers. They also knew what type of evidence would be irrelevant to specific crimes.
However, more knowledgeable jurors isn’t always a good thing. Jurors may think they are more knowledgeable on forensic evidence than they truly are. They may be aware of forensic testing and its capabilities but not understand when it is appropriately used in a case.
7. Interest is increasing in the criminal justice field
If nothing else, crime shows are at least raising interest and awareness of the legal, medical and investigative professionals and what they do. Bringing the work of these often-overlooked criminal justice professionals to the public eye is introducing individuals to potential professional opportunities in the field.
What can be done?
It’s highly unlikely that Americans’ obsession with crime shows will diminish anytime soon. So what can be done to minimize the negative impact of the CSI effect? Should law enforcement agencies commit to overhauling resources and equip investigative teams with the highest possible forensic technology? Or does the problem lay within our crime laboratories—should more responsibility be placed on them to keep up with the demands and reduce analysis backlog?
Perhaps the issue is in the courtroom. Should judges address unrealistic juror expectations? Should legal teams rethink how they explain and present evidence to juries? No matter which changes take hold, the greater legal system needs to prioritize adjusting to the evolving expectations of jurors.
Curious about careers?
Next time you sit down to enjoy your favorite crime show, keep in mind that not everything you see—even the so-called “real cases”—reflect reality.

As a Graphic and UI/UX Designer, I'm studying Service Design to take the ability to craft great visuals and experiences to the next level - beyond print & screens!
My Design journey started when I was looking for all of my interests like drawing, video, psychology and coding to come together. Very early on I found my answer in Design Thinking books and made my way to the National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad. From there, an urge to move beyond the constraints of any one design discipline to solve problems holistically led me to the RCA.
My work so far has been in internal tech teams at Industrial Engineering companies and crafting Identites for small businesses. I'm looking for projects fueled by an intention of creating meaningful change (for people and the planet) by leveraging the power of beautiful visuals and technology to provide the best experience; moving across sectors like sustainability, finance, health and art.
We can all agree that it is important to recycle. But recycling can be confusing. We know which bin most things should go in, but somehow are never quite sure. Some of us recycle a lot, but may be unintentionally "wish-cycling". Someone may have taught us, but some of just have just had to figure it out. In case something goes wrong, there’s no feedback and we seldom find out what’s wrong – especially in London apartments!
The experience of recycling right isn’t easy. Factors like councils having different rules, the effort needed, lack of visibility, misinformation don't help either. How do you navigate such a scenario and be confident that you’re recycling right?
Our everyday decisions have a big, invisible impact. Confusion and "wish-cycling" can cause contamination. People get recycling; this project aims to help people get it right. | <urn:uuid:58982525-7276-4fb8-9134-74e0ef260fcc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rcaservicedesign.com/sdstudents/isha-ghaisas | 2023-09-25T00:30:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.948381 | 379 |

Despite of free testing services provided from the NHS, there are challenges within individual and social behaviours resulting in record-high levels of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK. We focus on addressing these challenges, specifically among casual daters who are at high risk of catching STIs.
To combat this, we propose an innovative solution that combines personalised sexual preference exploration with AI-powered assistance to motivate individuals to plan and adhere to their own STI testing regimen. Ultimately, our goal is to empower young heterosexual adults aged 18 to 24 to take control of their sexual health and reduce STI rates as a social shift. | <urn:uuid:6b3123ad-b44b-4a4e-bae3-95d7c11a4604> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rcaservicedesign.com/sdstudents/youngin-park | 2023-09-24T23:09:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.928516 | 289 |

After having announced it on the occasion of Google I/O 2022, the Mountain View giant has recently started the release of Google Wallet, the renewed “wallet” of the house that takes the place of the old Google Pay app.
The new app arrives on Android smartphones via the Google Play Store, through an update of the Google Pay app (the one that, as a logo, presents the multi-colored G and the word Pay on a white background), and brings users the new e updated functional and graphic experience (following the Material You dictates).
Google Wallet is being distributed via an update of the old Google Pay
One of Google’s greatest desires was to replace users’ physical wallets with a tool that would be more complete and more consistent with the rest of the Google Pay ecosystem (from a graphical point of view).
Google Wallet was born with exactly this goal, allowing users to store credit and debit cards, transport or event tickets, flight boarding passes, gift/loyalty cards but also vaccination certificates, virtual keys for cars and student ID cards.
This new version of the Google-branded virtual wallet presents the dynamic color theme, one of the canons of Material You, and the cards to be able to pay with a tap are shown, like a carousel, at the top of the app screen, keeping a very familiar design to users who have used Google Pay so far.
To add a card or any other supported ticket, simply press the button in the lower right corner, another common factor among all the apps that fully support Material You: by clicking the button, the user will be redirected to the ” Add to Wallet ”where you can choose the type of card/ticket to add to your virtual wallet.
The Google Wallet settings, reachable by clicking on the avatar of your profile, refer to the new menu that allows you to manage the payment profile, add passes directly from Gmail, view the details of purchases made, receive updates related to the passes entered and to join. or not to advertising emails.
In addition to changing the app itself, the quick toggle, reachable via the control center, also changes: this no longer has the word GPay but has the word Wallet and the words “tap to open”.
In the future of Wallet, there are identity documents and much more
The evolution of Google Pay into Google Wallet is only the first step of the complete project envisaged by Big G: in the future, in fact, this virtual wallet will be able to store driving licenses inside it, in total safety for users. , hotel room keys, office ID cards and much more.
Android already supports the underlying technology for archiving such documents; the ball now goes directly to local governments who will have to give the green light for this to be possible.
With the launch of Google Wallet, available in over 40 countries (including Italy), Google Pay will remain the true person responsible for the actual transaction (and its branding will still appear as a sticker in stores that support this payment method): Google essentially, it emulated what Apple did, which equipped its iPhones with the Wallet app and the Apple Pay service.
How to update the app to the latest version available
As anticipated, Google Wallet arrives via an update of the Google Pay app distributed through the Google Play Store: specifically, this is the update to version 2.150.460235810 which is not, however, yet widespread on a large scale (do not worry, therefore, if it is not yet available on your smartphone). To check the availability of the update, simply click on the Play Store link.
If you do not want to wait any longer, you can download the APK package through the APKMirror portal (page accessible via this link ) and proceed manually with the installation and, therefore, with the update.
The wallet is set to be available in over 40 countries…….

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rebirthing Breathwork?
Rebirthing Breathwork is a healing modality that uses conscious connected breathing which induces deep relaxation and an expanded state of consciousness. The founder Leonard Orr developed and taught this method to be used in individual sessions with a trained Rebirthing Breathwork practitioner.
When the body feels safe, the mind feels safe. The presence of the facilitator adds another level of safety. The altered state of consciousness allows for a more expanded perspective with added objectivity and neutrality. This combination allows the person to feel safe enough so that unresolved emotions and memories come to the surface. Breathing moves energy and transforms whatever sensations and feelings arise. By the end of the session, most people experience deep peace, wellbeing and clarity.
How does Rebirthing compare to other forms of breathwork?
RB is most commonly used for healing trauma, especially early childhood trauma. RB can also heal on the physical, mental, spiritual, and energetic levels.
The focus is on relaxing and breathing. The intelligence of the body and breath combine with the flow of prana to cleanse and balance the body, mind and spirit. The main instruction is to breathe through challenging emotions, traumatic memories and body sensations to achieve a state of peace and bliss.
While cathartic release can happen, it is not the goal. There is a natural energy cycle that happens. RB also focuses on breathing until you feel “complete” with that cycle.
There are many forms of breathwork and each has a specific purpose. For example, “box breathing” is used for calming, “Wim Hof” is used for body mastery and strength, “breath of fire” is used to generate heat in the body.
What makes Rebirthing work?
Connected breathing induces relaxation, relaxation produces a sense of safety which allows for unresolved material to come to the surface. The breath moves energy and transforms the feelings and sensations into peace.
What are the results?
According to the founder Leonard Orr, the results of RB are peace, healing and integration.
This can take many forms. RB works with the individual's intention for their wellness and healing. This can encompass all levels: emotional, physical, energetic, spiritual and mental.
The most commonly reported result after a session is: “I’ve never felt this much peace and relaxation before.”
Overall, RB significantly improves our quality of life.
Results and benefits include, but are not limited to:
Increased clarity, joy and vitality through releasing everyday stress and tension
Deep relaxation and calm
Nervous system regulation
Gentle yet powerful release of trauma and suppressed emotions that compromise health and hold us back
Understanding and releasing early childhood and birth imprints, patterns and memories
Deep insights and intuitive guidance from the inside
Connecting with the deepest parts of ourselves and the Divine - the Oneness experience
Moving through energetic and physical blocks
Liberating the breathing mechanism from shallow, inhibited breathing patterns
Super-oxygenating the body and alkalizing the blood
Is RB compatible with other modalities or therapies?
Yes, RB works well with all other healing modalities. It is recommended to speak with your practitioners about the timing when scheduling different modalities.
For example you may not want to receive a RB session the same day as acupuncture but may want to have a massage before or after. Healing sessions take different amounts of time to integrate.
Is Rebirthing Breathwork the same as hyperventilation?
No. Hyperventilation is an example of how the body will try to use the breath to process and heal anxiety and panic. If we consider most people’s shallow breathing to be sub-ventilation, then Rebirthing can be described as Super-ventilation, not Hyper-ventilation.
How long does a Rebirthing Breathwork session take?
A typical RB session is 90 minutes. But it can last anywhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours or more. It is good to have at least a 2 hour window for your appointment.
How do I prepare for my first breathwork session?
The best advice is to have an open mind. Remember that any feelings and sensations that arise during the session are temporary.
As long as you continue to breathe in a connected manner, they will transform, dissolve and resolve.
Can I do this on my own?
It is recommended to do 10 sessions with a trained professional before trying it on your own. This work can be psychologically and emotionally powerful and can surprise clients with its depth. Therefore, it is very helpful to receive the full attention of a skilled facilitator. RB is a valuable tool that can assist you for the rest of your life. It is like learning to fly an airplane: you work with an instructor until you can do it on your own.
What is the difference between group sessions and individual sessions?
Leonard Orr taught the value of individual sessions, and that people need and deserve the focused attention that is provided in a one on one session.
Some people get value from groups and other people prefer individual sessions. It is a personal preference.
We recommend that beginners start with individual sessions because of the high quality support during the entire experience.
Are there contraindications that I should be aware of?
No. However, if you have medical concerns, speak with your medical professional before doing RB. Deep breathing is one of the body's natural healing mechanisms and will meet you where you are to assist with your wellness.
What is tetany?
Tetany is a tingling or buzzing sensation that sometimes happens during a RB session. It is frequently felt in the hands and face but can be felt anywhere in the body. It is safe and it passes. Leonard said that it is stored tension being released from the body. It is not a necessary component of a successful session. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it is strong and causes the parts of the body to feel stuck while other times it is gentle and soft. The Breather is encouraged to relax into it and remember that it is temporary.
Does Rebirthing Breathwork help with anxiety?
Yes. Deep relaxation is a key element of RB. Rebirthing activates the parasympathetic nervous system which brings about a state of balance and restoration. RB can help the nervous system reset, retrain and heal by discharging tension. RB is effective for accessing and resolving the root causes of anxiety. Most people experience a deep calm and relaxation on all levels by the end of their session.
Can I do Rebirthing Breathwork while taking an SSRI?
RB is safe if you are taking an SSRI. RB is an effective tool to help heal and release the emotions that the SSRI is helping to manage. You may safely go deeper into the feelings with RB, which is a long term solution to addressing depression. Rebirthing can also be used (in conjunction with your doctor’s advice) to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms and detox the body if you are tapering off of an SSRI.
Can Rebirthing Breathwork help with asthma?
Yes. RB can help with asthma. If you have asthma, speak to your Rebirthing practitioner about it. They can help support you through whatever comes up. Sometimes anti-life thoughts and feelings can arise for people who have asthma. It is important to balance the mind through positive affirmations and other tools. Asthma can also be connected to grief and RB is an effective tool to heal grief. It is recommended to have your inhaler handy during the session so you can feel safe exploring the sensation of the asthma, should it come up.
Can RB help with addiction?
RB is effective in addressing many of the underlying causes of addiction.
Can I do Rebirthing Breathwork while pregnant?
Yes. Sessions tend to be gentler and shorter. It is safe to do RB at any point during pregnancy. When we heal our own birth trauma, it helps prevent passing it on to our own children.
Can children do Rebirthing Breathwork?
Yes. Children can have fun with RB. They should never be coerced into it. It is important that it is their decision to try it. Children’s sessions tend to be shorter than for adults. Teaching children the “20 connected breaths” exercise is a great place to start. Because of parental projections and potential enmeshment, it is best if at least one parent has gone through a facilitated RB process before their minor child.
Can infants experience and benefit from this work?
Yes. This requires two Rebirthers. One for the infant and one for the parent. They are connected energetically and go through the process together. This is delicate and more advanced and requires a high level professional Rebirther with experience. It is common for the infant to discharge strong emotions through crying or screaming, and then relax completely. | <urn:uuid:68f1c201-a924-4662-80f6-ebd626555eb5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rebirthingbreathwork.com/faq-s | 2023-09-24T23:36:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.944545 | 1,848 |

By SUSAN ERICSON
An invitation to judge the first annual apple pie bake-off at the Sea Bright Farmers’ market Thursday afternoon was too tasty an opportunity for this PieHole writer to turn down.
With a bakery background – I grew up in a Queens bakery – my opinions on apple pie are pretty specific. A good one needs a flaky crust, a non-mushy apple filling, and most important, fresh apple flavor.
Fall is apple season, of course, and you can find many varieties of apples at farm markets and pick-your-own orchards right now. The best for pie baking are the Granny Smiths and Honey Crisps. They hold up better through the baking process, with a tart and tangy flavor that plays well with the added sugar and spices.
My fellow judges at the bakeoff, held under gray autumn skies in the municipal parking lot, were Susie Markson from Sea Bright and “Eric from Estonia,” who works the Pickle Licious table at the market.
Originally scheduled for last week but postponed due to inclement weather, the contest drew only three entries. But they were surprisingly different from one another in style and ingredients. All three were well-baked and flavorful. So how does one pass judgement over pies when they all taste delicious?
It comes down to the specifics of presentation. Does the pie look appetizing? Yes, all three were given high scores for that, and rightfully so, as the audience of about a dozen was chomping at the bit to grab a taste when the judges were finished. It is said that we eat first with our eyes. This maxim played true at the bake-off.
It is a bit of a trick to add just the right amount of sugar, cinnamon, and spices to a pie to enhance the apple flavor, yes. Baking the apples into the pie, or cooking the apple mixture first then adding it to the pie shell to bake in the oven are decisions that come from experience, and every baker has his or her own methods.
After calculating points, the pie baked by Liz Murno, a founder of the Sea Bright Famers’ Market, was the winner. The presentation was beautiful, and the large apple chunks were tender but not overcooked. A submission by Danielle Furey, an artist from Highlands, also had a flaky crust and an inspired addition of tart cranberries, which gave the apples a delightful sweetness. Points were lost only because it did not stay together when served, but it was scrumptious nonetheless.
The third pie, submitted by Tony Victor of Pazzo restaurant in Red Bank, was a more traditional apple crumb pie. Again, luscious, but maybe a little mushy inside.
All in good fun, the pies were devoured by hungry enthusiasts and by-standers. Shouts of “where’s the ice cream?” and “This could use some whipped cream” were heard, but from the smiles on everyone’s faces, it was a good time had by all. | <urn:uuid:d9f5a70a-b65c-473f-a37c-cf2e7f8656ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.redbankgreen.com/2014/10/sea-bright-judging-pies-market/ | 2023-09-25T00:16:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506669.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924223409-20230925013409-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977042 | 703 |
