To counter inflation, thirty-eight million people will receive compensation of 100 euros to cope with the soaring prices of energy and fuel. It concerns people, regardless of status, including students, who earn less than €2,000 a month. Awarded individually and automatically, this bonus is tax free.
To help the poorest families cope with rising prices, especially of fuel, electricity and gasgas, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced the payment of an exceptional aid of 100 euros from the end of this year. This aid, finally preferred to the “fuel check”, will be automatically disbursed to those who earn less than 2,000 euros net per month.
The inflation allowance affects all French people who earn less than 2,000 euros net per month (before withholding tax), or about 38 million people. The aid of the amount of 100 euros concerns employees, the self-employed, people looking for work, pensioners, recipients of the Active Solidarity Income (RSARSA), apprentices and students (including scholarship holders), provided that the latter are fiscally independent from their parents. A scenario that would represent two-thirds of students, according to Gabriel Attal, a government spokesman, interviewed on Friday 22 October on France 2.
It should also be noted that this “inflation allowance” will be made without distinction between motorists and users of another means of transport. The collection will also take place on an individual basis, meaning that a family with two salaries of less than €2,000 net will receive €200 in aid. Finally, the fee will be tax-free.
The inflation allowance will be paid starting next December. You don’t need to take any action to benefit from it. The aid will be paid initially to employees, by the employer, starting in December. For public service employees, this will take place in January 2022. For self-employed workers (aid provided by Ussaf), pensioners (pension funds) and job seekers (Pôle emploi), payment will be made next February .

We love the clean, graphic punches in Lisa and Marc’s Alberta, Canada wedding! Elegant white blooms—calla lilies, hydrangeas, and roses—from The Wild Orchid dominate the day, first at the Catholic ceremony at St. Joachim Parish and then at the Riverview Room of the Shaw Conference Centre for the reception. Lisa paired a calla lily bouquet with her Jenny Yoo Collection gown and short, mod veil from Sara Gabriel. Jennifer Bergman Weddings handled the planning and design for Lisa and Marc, who chose pops of green and navy to brighten reception tables. A tall wedding cake sans frosting from Cake Couture Edible Art is another nod to the couple’s modern sensibilities. Lisa and Marc are positively beaming in the photos on the campus where they met. All of the images from Diamond Cake Photography are absolutely gorgeous—see them all in the gallery!

After a very quirky match-up on dating site eHarmony, Nicole and Seth found love in one another and were inseparable after that first date. When you know, you just know, right? A mere two years after their initial meeting, Seth enlisted their sweet pups for a surprising and cozy at-home proposal that was conducted in the same exact spot as their first kiss. So sweet!
Once wedding planning was underway, Nicole and Seth dreamt of a romantic and elegant affair in Raleigh. Neutral, muted colors like taupe, gray, and ivory were paired alongside heaps of greenery and quicksand and earl gray roses from Embellished Bloom’s traditional creations. Tinges of the softest light pink flowers were brought in to add some depth to their monochromatic color palette at the Merrimon-Wynne House. Ultimately, what we adored most about Nicole and Seth’s A.J. Dunlap Photography wedding were the fun details like the escort card caricatures. We love when classic weddings incorporate fun, unique, and personalized details.
In their own words
How did you meet?
Seth and I met on eHarmony. Actually a funny story behind this. With eHarmony you complete a personality assessment and you have no control over the people that they send forward as potential matches as they are based on your assessment results. There is, however, a “What If” category where maybe someone matched with you from the personality assessment but they feel out of the criteria you set such as distance from where you are or age or height. I am 5’0 and I set my maximum height at 6’0. Well Seth is 6’5 so he fell out of my criteria but we matched in every other way. I ended up in his “What If” section and the rest is history!
What is your proposal story?
After our first date, we were pretty much inseparable. It was summertime and we spent a lot of time at my house and at my neighborhood pool. Our first kiss was outside my back door. Two years later on my birthday we were leaving the house out the back door to go to dinner and Seth told me to look at the dogs in the house and when I turned around he was down on one knee and proposed where we had our very first kiss. It was perfect!
What was the most important to the two of you while planning? Was there anything that you chose to splurge on or skip?
Most important to Seth was food, alcohol and music. It is hard for me to say that one thing was most important it was all really important to me. I wanted people to really enjoy the food and not leave hungry. I wanted them to walk away in awe of the vision and I wanted them to have so much fun that they had to force us all to leave. We were not going to hire a videographer but a friend of mine had just gotten married in December and I asked her what one regret was and she said not getting one because there are moments you are not at and things you forget so we ended up splurging past our budget with that.
What were your favorite parts of the day?
My father collapsed at our rehearsal and was rushed via ambulance with my mother to the hospital as we went on to our rehearsal dinner. I had to no idea what was wrong with him so as you can imagine I did my best to put on a happy face and keep going.
He was admitted to the hospital and I woke up on our wedding day not knowing if he would be able to even come to the wedding. They did release him and both my parents were able to attend. My father could not walk me down the aisle so my mother stepped in but seeing them both there was certainly a highlight for me.
Walking in to the venue not knowing if my parents would be there, I was greeted by my wedding planner who instantly asked about my father of which I responded, “I don’t know how he is (at that moment I was not aware that he would make it) but I waited 40 years for this day and it is a gorgeous day and nothing will make this day anything but perfect.” She responded by saying (with a concerned look on her face) “okay so I am not worried.” I asked her what happened and she told me that the person who did all of my hair and makeup trials was not going to be able to make it. I obviously had an instant moment of panic but Krista Massey and Alexis stepped in and it turned out amazing.
Those are two stories I will never forget but the best moment was saying “I do” to my best friend. Also we hired someone who brought our fur babies for a photo op!
Do you have any advice for couples planning their weddings now?
Everyone told me this and it was hard to accept but truly everything does come together. If you can’t let it go during the planning process at the very least show up the day of your wedding and let it all go and soak up every moment it will all come together.
A friend gave me a piece of advice that I loved she told me that for a minute when you are about to walk down the aisle and everyone is standing looking at you pause and really take that moment in. She told me the love that you feel is tremendous. When she told me the story, she had tears in her eyes. It was such a wonderful piece of advice.

Ca2+ entry pathways for mast cell activation
In mast cells, the increase of free cytosolic Ca2+ regulates a variety of cellular processes including degranulation with release of preformed inflammatory mediators, production of eicosanoids, activation of transcription factors including the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and synthesis of cytokines as well as migration and chemotaxis (1). The importance of extracellular Ca2+ as a requirement for anaphylactic release of histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells was already shown in 1972 (1) leading to the concept that antigen-mediated mast cells degranulation is dependent on Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ channels (1). Antigen-induced aggregation of high-affinity receptors for IgE (FcεRI) activates a large number of signalling molecules (2). A major downstream target is phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1), which catalyses formation of IP3 and release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, followed by an influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular space (capacitative or store-operated Ca2+ entry (CCE, SOCE)) (3, 4). Ionic currents mediating this Ca2+ influx in mast cells were first characterised in RBL cells and rat peritoneal mast cells (5). Recently, Orai1 was identified as the pore forming CRAC channel subunit. SOCE is substantially decreased in Orai1-deficient BMMCs (6), and the FcεRI-mediated Ca2+ entry is reduced by 70%, while the cells completely lack detectable Ca2+ (CRAC) currents (7). This suggests that other channel proteins including Orai2, Orai3 and/or members of the TRP family such as TRPC1 (8) and TRPC5 (9) might also contribute to Ca2+ entry (10).
Cation channels formed by TRP proteins
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a large and functionally heterogeneous family of cation-conducting channel proteins, which are expressed in many (if not in all) excitable and non-excitable cells and are involved in sensing of a variety of environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH, osmolarity, pheromones, taste and plant compounds, participate in numerous cellular processes and several mutations in Trp genes appear to be causative factors in rare heritable channelopathies (11). The mammalian 28 TRP proteins are classified according to structural homology into 6 subfamilies: TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPA (ankyrin), TRPML (mucolipin), and TRPP (polycystin) (12, 13). Most TRP channels show little voltage dependence and are nonselective with a permeability for Ca2+ over Na+ (ratio PCa/PNa) below 10 (see panels).
How TRP channels regulate [Ca2+]i and mast cell activation
TRP channels were found to influence cellular Ca2+ signaling by several mechanisms. First, by conducting Ca2+ ions to various degrees TRP channels directly contribute to Ca2+ influx via the plasma membrane (e.g. TRPC1 (8) or TRPC5 (9)). Second, by conducting Na+ TRP channels mediate electrogenic effects through plasma membrane depolarization which may have opposite consequence in different cell types: in contrast to excitable cells, where TRP-mediated Na+ entry and depolarization can enhance Ca2+ entry by gating of voltage-operated Ca2+ channels, they can do the opposite in nonexcitable cells such as mast cells where depolarization reduces the driving force for Ca2+ entry through CRAC channels (e.g. TRPM4, see ref. 14). In addition, there is emerging evidence that several TRP channels are also located in the membrane of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER), endosomes, lysosomes or other intracellular vesicles where they can serve as Ca2+ release channels and conduct Ca2+ from the luminal stores into the cytoplasm (for more details see (15)). The relevance of such channels for specific mast cell functions is still elusive.
TRPs in mast cells: expression pattern and postulated functions
TRPC channels: The mammalian members of the TRPC family can be divided into 3 subfamilies on the basis of functional similarities and sequence homology: TRPC1/TRPC4/TRPC5, TRPC3/TRPC6/TRPC7 and TRPC2. All TRPC proteins seem to be activated by stimulation of G-protein-coupled receptors or receptor tyrosine kinases. TRPC proteins were reported to form heteromeric channels. TRPC3, TRPC6 and TRPC7 when expressed in heterologous systems are potentiated by direct application of diacylglycerol (DAG) analogs.
TRPC1 has been detected in murine BMMC on mRNA (8) and protein (16) level and using a microarray expression analysis in human skin mast cells (17). Impaired degranulation of BMMCs induced by down-regulation of TRPC1 expression using siRNAs could be rescued by exogenous expression of TRPC1 (8). Expression of TRPC3 was reported in mouse BMMC via Western Blot (16) and RT-PCR. In BMMCs, also transcripts of Trpc2 (9), transcripts of Trpc4 and Trpc5 (8) and TRPC4 proteins (16) were found. Trpc6 and Trpc7 transcripts and proteins were also found in mouse BMMC (16) and based on immunoprecipitation experiments using an antibody that was designed to detect all three members of the TRPC3/TRPC6/TRPC7 subfamily. The generation and use of antibodies that specifically detect individual TRP proteins is an critical issue in TRP channel research similarly like for studies on other membrane proteins (see ref. 18)
TRPV channels: Similar to the TRPC family, the TRPV (vanilloid) family can be divided into two subfamilies on the basis of structure, function and Ca2+ selectivity: TRPV1-4, and TRPV5/6. In the TRPV subfamily, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3 and TRPV4 are nonselective cation channels that are activated by a different range in temperatures and by numerous chemical stimuli.
TRPV1 proteins are expressed in mast cells of the human bladder (19) and skin (20). The TRPV1 specific agonists capsaicin or resiniferatoxin induced calcium uptake in several mouse mast cell lines, in BMMC, but not in PMC (21).
TRPM channels: The members of the TRPM (melastatin) family are divided into 4 groups: TRPM1/3, TRPM2/8, TRPM4/5, and TRPM 6/7. TRPM2 is activated by ADP ribose (EC50, 100 µM) and activated by H2O2 and under conditions of ROS production, TRPM4 and TRPM5 are the only monovalent-selective ion channels of the TRP family and are activated by an increase in Ca2+ levels in the cytosol.
TRPM6 and TRPM7 proteins form Mg2+ and Ca2+ conducting channels (inhibited by intracellular Mg2) and possess also protein kinase activity. TRPM7 is ubiquitously expressed and deletion of the Trpm7 gene leads to embryonic lethality. TRPM8 can be activated by cold (8–28°C) and enhanced by cooling compounds such as menthol and icilin.
Trpm2 transcripts were identified in human lung mast cells and cord blood derived mast cells in a microarray expression analysis (17). In mouse BMMC, Trpm4 transcripts were detected using Northern blot analysis and the 138 kDa TRPM4 proteins were identified in BMMCs of wild type but not of Trpm4-/- mice (14). It could be shown that TRPM4 channels depolarize the membrane following adenosine- and FcεRI-stimulation and, thereby, critically decrease the Ca2+ influx in BMMC’s via CRAC channels (see model in Fig. 1). Accordingly, activated Trpm4-/- BMMCs release excessive histamine, leukotrienes and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and Trpm4-/- animals display a more severe acute anaphylactic response in the skin compared to wild-type controls (14). Expression of TRPM7 has been found in human lung mast cells (22) and Mg2+-inhibited currents (MIC), which can be mediated by TRPM7 proteins, were identified in human lung mast cells. Downregulation of TRPM7 expression in human mast lung cells resulted in significant reduction of MIC currents and mast cell survival which could not be rescued by an increase in the extracellular Mg2+ concentration (22). Trpm7-deficient mice as well as mice homozygous for an allele lacking the kinase domaine of TRPM7 (Trpm7Δkinase/Δkinase) die early during development (23), but Trpm7+/Δkinase are viable and MIC currents are significantly reduced in PMCs of these mice (23). TRPM8 proteins have also been proposed as mediators of mast cell activation e.g. in the development of cold urticaria. However, Medic et al. found no deficits in mast cell activation using Ca2+ imaging, mast cell degranulation and development of passive anaphylaxis in Trpm8-/- mice, which makes a role of TRPM8 for mast cell activation in cold urticaria unlikely (24).

In the event of an active shooter on or near campus, SPU will go into lockdown and work with law enforcement authorities to address the threat.
If the Office of Safety and Security (OSS) is notified of a person armed with a weapon on or near campus that is not an active shooter, SPU may still go into lockdown and/or notify law enforcement authorities as a precaution, depending on the situation.
- In a lockdown, SPU building entrances will be locked and campus activities and events will be suspended until further notice.
- SPU-Alert will be used to notify the campus about the start and end of a campus lockdown.
How to respond to an active shooter or other armed threat
- If you observe or have information about an actual or potential armed threat on campus, notify OSS by calling 206-281-2911 or pressing the call button on a campus emergency phone.
- Follow instructions issued through SPU-Alert.
- Cooperate with law enforcement officials, and take precautions so that you are not mistaken for a threat. For example, if police approach you in a secured room, stand still, keep your hands open and visible, and follow their instructions.
What to do if you are inside a building during a campus lockdown:
- Move to a safe and securable area (e.g., an office, classroom, or residence hall room) and lock the doors.
- Close the window coverings, move away from the windows, and get low on the floor.
- Remain in your secure area and await further instruction via SPU-Alert.
What to do if you are outside during a campus lockdown:
- Leave the area and seek safe shelter off campus.
- Await further instruction via SPU-Alert.
What to do if you are directly confronted with an active shooter:
- If you are directly confronted with an active shooter, SPU recommends following the Run-Hide-Fight guidance issued by the Department of Homeland Security.
- Run: If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises.
- Hide: If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you.
- Fight: As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to incapacitate the active shooter.
What NOT to do:
- Do not assume that someone else has already notified OSS and/or 911.
- Do not leave a secured area during an emergency to see what is happening.
- Do not allow another person into a secured area during an emergency unless told to do so by law enforcement authorities or SPU officials. | <urn:uuid:82ebe9f1-f8bd-434a-a4a3-d7cfd7ff21f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://emergency.spu.edu/campus-emergency-procedures/active-shooterarmed-threats/ | 2023-09-26T05:57:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.918851 | 556 |
My husband has been working in the small corner of our bedroom for the last month, and I can tell you that it looks absolutely nothing like this pretty home office by designer Ariel Okin. Maybe that’s why I was so smitten with it. He could care less if he worked in a gray box all day, but if I were to spend hours in one spot on calls and the computer, a nice little setup like this one would greatly help my mental health and productivity. . . Not sure my family’s maturity level could handle the nude painting, but wouldn’t it fun to sneak one in somewhere? ;)
Natural light, if possible.
A small(ish) writing desk that could double as a nightstand, space is tight.
Storage. (A lightweight bookcase or etagere feels less “office-y”.)
Woven baskets for hiding papers, office supplies, etc.
A comfy chair. Lots of great upholstered dining armchair options that don’t look too much like a desk chair.
Something green. Even if it’s a no-maintenance, faux topiary, it will liven up the spot.
A pretty task lamp. A wall lamp could be mounted over the desk to free up more workspace.
Personal touches. Add a favorite piece of art and some framed photos.
A rug to tie the different spaces within the room together.
If you’re working from home, what’s your “office” set up like these days? | <urn:uuid:1899ae4d-5813-48d6-8efd-dd4c2d4d1245> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://emilyaclark.com/2020/04/setting-up-a-pretty-home-office-in-the-bedroom.html | 2023-09-26T06:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.940626 | 327 |

The fascia lata is the
deep fasciaof the thigh.
It is an investment for the whole of the thigh, but varies in thickness in different parts.
Thus, it is thicker in the upper and lateral part of the thigh, where it receives a fibrous expansion from the
Glutæus maximus, and where the Tensor fasciæ latæis inserted between its layers; it is very thin behind and at the upper and medial part, where it covers the Adductor muscles, and again becomes stronger around the knee, receiving fibrous expansions from the tendon of the Biceps femorislaterally, from the Sartoriusmedially, and from the Quadriceps femorisin front.
Above and behind
The fascia lata is attached, above and behind, to the back of the
sacrumand coccyx; laterally, to the iliac crest; in front, to the inguinal ligament, and to the superior ramus of the pubis; and medially, to the inferior ramus of the pubis, to the inferior ramus and tuberosity of the ischium, and to the lower border of the sacrotuberous ligament.
From its attachment to the iliac crest it passes down over the
Glutæus mediusto the upper border of the Glutæus maximus, where it splits into two layers, one passing superficial to and the other beneath this muscle; at the lower border of the muscle the two layers reunite.
Laterally, the fascia lata receives the greater part of the tendon of insertion of the Glutæus maximus, and becomes proportionately thickened.
The portion of the fascia lata attached to the front part of the iliac crest, and corresponding to the origin of the Tensor fasciæ latæ, extends down the lateral side of the thigh as two layers, one superficial to and the other beneath this muscle; at the lower end of the muscle these two layers unite and form a strong band, having first received the insertion of the muscle.
This band is continued downward, under the name of the
iliotibial band(tractus iliotibialis) and is attached to the lateral condyle of the tibia.
The part of the iliotibial band which lies beneath the
Tensor fasciæ latæis prolonged upward to join the lateral part of the capsule of the hip-joint.
Below, the fasciæ lata is attached to all the prominent points around the
knee-joint, viz., the condyles of the femur and tibia, and the head of the fibula.
On either side of the
patellait is strengthened by transverse fibers from the lower parts of the Vasti, which are attached to and support this bone.
Of these the lateral are the stronger, and are continuous with the iliotibial band.
The deep surface of the fascia lata gives off two strong
intermuscular septa, which are attached to the whole length of the linea aspera and its prolongations above and below; the lateral and stronger one, which extends from the insertion of the Glutæus maximusto the lateral condyle, separates the Vastus lateralisin front from the short head of the Biceps femorisbehind, and gives partial origin to these muscles; the medial and thinner one separates the Vastus medialisfrom the Adductoresand Pectineus.
Besides these there are numerous smaller septa, separating the individual muscles, and enclosing each in a distinct sheath.

A delicate and subtle comedy, which tackles love with skill, with its dark areas and its hard-won harmonies. A theme treated with an originality and intensity appreciated by critics and the public. The show, produced by the Teatro Stabile di Torino, will be staged from 14 December to 16 January.
At the San Ferdinando Theater in Naples, from 26 December to 6 January, A che serve these money by Armando Curcio, directed by Andrea Renzi. First staged in 1940, the comedy made the De Filippo brothers famous.

Group dynamics is a common step in the selection process for job offers. The purpose of this technique is to allow the company to find the candidate that best suits the profile sought, which does not depend only on experience and training. The behavior and personality of the team are characteristics that are highly valued in recruitment processes today.
Although the choice depends on the profile that the company considers most suitable for the vacancy, whoever has been called to participate in a group dynamic can prepare to have a performance that shows their full potential, increasing their chances of remaining on the job. Take a look at five tips for getting along.
Tip 1: Know the whole process
Understanding how this recruiting phase works is the first step in preparing. Not being caught off guard helps contain anxiety, which is one of the factors that most hinders a job candidate.
In general, a group dynamic brings together at least six candidates. The maximum number is variable. While some experts consider that 12 participants is the maximum ideal number, since it allows everyone to be observed and have the opportunity to express themselves, some companies even carry out dynamics with up to 30 people.
The dynamics of the group is directed by a facilitator, who is a selector in charge of guiding the candidates. This person provides instructions and controls the rhythm of the dynamics, allowing the participation of candidates and always assuming a neutral position.
The facilitator is assisted by one or more observers. These observers are responsible for taking note of the performance of the participants. Their records on the behavior of each aid help to identify the most suitable candidates for the profile sought. The observers do not usually identify themselves in the opening of the dynamic, they remain in the room throughout the process and practically do not interact. They already have a pre-script of the games that will be suggested to them and what skills they should observe in each activity.
Group dynamics are generally divided into six stages. However, this is not a fixed rule, and the evaluator can design the activity according to your needs.
In the first stage, greetings are made. The facilitator introduces himself, talks about his role and explains a little about the company and the vacancy. Then you will describe what the dynamic will be like and how long it will last.
Presentation of candidates
The first intervention of the candidates is usually in the presentation. The facilitator can request a brief description of each person’s life so that everyone knows each other. This presentation can be simple or a game can be used.
The warm-up phase is the “icebreaker” and generally involves physical movements or games. Its goal is to make participants less tense and more comfortable, allowing them to begin to express themselves more spontaneously.
This phase is used to measure the competencies of the candidates and identify those that best suit the position. Techniques vary depending on what needs to be evaluated. Games, discussions, challenges or other types of activities can be adopted.
After the implementation of the activities, some companies propose to the candidates a stage of reflection on what has been done. Participants can be asked, for example, about how they felt during the exercises, about their evaluation of group performance, what they learned and how that experience can be applied in their daily lives. This step helps selectors to better understand the attitudes of others, confirming or changing the observations made in the previous step. Therefore, it is very important that the candidate makes an effort to collaborate in the evaluation.
Finally, the facilitator must say goodbye to the candidates, inform them about the next stages of the process and clarify any doubts that arise.
Tip 2: find as much information about the company
Recruiters like to know that the candidate knows what to expect if they get the job. If the name of the company you are selecting has been revealed, look for as much information as possible.
Find the company’s institutional website and study its mission, vision, and values. Try to identify which of these points matches your personal profile.
In addition to knowing the principles of the organization, stay well informed about the products and services it offers. Confusing a company’s product with that of a competitor is inexcusable.
Take into account the company profile to choose the clothes you will wear on the day of the event : if you are a young, modern and informal company, there is no point in wearing a suit and tie. Jeans and T-shirts, on the other hand, will never be the appropriate attire for the selection process of a bank or other very formal organization.
Tip 3: be yourself
For those who are going to participate in a group dynamic, it is important to know that there is no single profile or specific pattern of behavior sought by the companies that apply this tool in the selection process. It is not true that the candidates who do the best in dynamics are always the ones who speak the most. It all depends on the characteristics that the company considers most important for the specific vacancy.
Candidates’ communication skills and extroversion will be important for jobs that require these characteristics, but not necessarily for everyone. For some positions, the ability to concentrate, for example, may be more important. Jobs that require initiative can be associated with dynamics that assess how much participants can manage themselves.
The most important thing to keep in mind during group dynamics is not to try to force behavior that is not authentic. It is not always possible to know with certainty what the company is looking for and, often, the profile sought is exactly the opposite of the one imagined by the candidate. Additionally, observers are trained to identify simulated behaviors.
Tip 4: Respect the group
Although authenticity is the top tip for getting along, some precautions should be taken. A very outgoing candidate must be careful not to talk too much, run over others, or upset the group. Being comfortable is good, but it’s also a good idea to keep an eye on jokes or inappropriate behavior.
Having a good education and not exaggerating aggressiveness is important because dynamics is a collective exercise and the ability to work as a team is valued . Rather than imposing yourself on the shout, is knowing how to rationally defend your arguments and be open to listening to the opinion of the other participants.
Tip 5: fight for shyness
No one has to pretend to be something they are not, but not saying anything during exercise is a serious mistake. For this reason, shy people should make an effort to express themselves at least a little.
Those who do not say anything cannot be evaluated and probably will not be able to remain in the dispute. This does not mean that the shy candidate should try to speak from the elbows. A single pertinent observation, made at the right time, can count for many points . | <urn:uuid:2a55a898-e9b3-49b9-864e-b21bcc80a6c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://en.tueconomia.net/business/what-are-group-dynamics-5-tips/ | 2023-09-26T06:18:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.954147 | 1,395 |

The 14th EIF World Energy Congress and Expo realized with the support of T.R. Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources took place on October 13-15, 2021 in Antalya, Turkey. Anna Furdyga, VOLTAGE Business Development Manager, participated in the Trade Mission Program and visited the EIF with an international delegation that included representatives from the following countries: Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Iraq, Albania, Kyrgyzstan, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Germany, Tajikistan and Turkey. Oleksandra Humeniuk, Director of the European – Ukrainian Energy Agency, where VOLTAGE is a member, also participated the congress. During the conference, Ms. Oleksandra told about the current state of the renewable energy market in Ukraine, available challenges and opportunities.
The program of the EIF 2021 Congress included several conference areas, where speakers were discussing the latest developments in the energy sector, considered the stages of different energy sources development in different energy markets, as well as prospects and challenges the countries facing in electricity production, supply and storage. Issues of investment in renewable energy sources were also discussed.
There were more than 200 of local and international companies among the exhibitors of the EIF EXPO offering goods and services in the field of energy, as well as the latest market innovations. The event also provided a separate area for B2B negotiations, where the members of delegation had the opportunity to meet in person with local companies, establish useful business ties and discuss prospects for further cooperation.
The largest share of the exhibition included manufacturers of photovoltaic modules, inverters, mounting structures, MV and HV equipment, cable products, and other equipment. An active position was also taken by the manufacturers and contractors offering their products and services for the implementation of geothermal systems, as well as technologies for waste processing, which also allow producing heat and electricity. In addition, investors are very interested in projects for solar and wind power plants construction (some investors are also interested in the Ukrainian market), so their representatives are always present at such events looking for interesting and promising projects, reliable partners and equipment suppliers.
Nowadays, more and more countries are trying to meet international requirements to achieve decarbonization goals. That is why each state creates the most favorable conditions for investment in renewable energy sources, provides support to ensure good quality communication and effective cooperation between countries and foreign companies. | <urn:uuid:628f97be-c92a-4bea-a70b-c36e6c7dad0d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://en.voltageg.com/post/voltage-representative-visited-the-14th-eif-world-energy-congress-and-expo-in-turkey | 2023-09-26T05:42:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.965063 | 493 |

Ohio State to launch quantum MS/PhD program with funding from NSF
An interdisciplinary team at The Ohio State University has received $3 million from the National Science Foundation to support the launch of a new graduate program in quantum information science and engineering (QISE). Faculty leaders from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering are involved in the program, which is one of a few in the U.S. that is not housed in a single academic department.
The program, funded by NSF’s Research Traineeship (NRT), will include core new graduate-level courses, experiential learning such as graduate research and industry internships, and professional training in communication and ethics. Students will have access to faculty members and courses in the Departments of Physics, Math and Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Materials Science Engineering.
“The 2018 U.S. National Quantum Initiative Act has spurred a remarkable acceleration of progress in quantum information science and technology in just the past few years,” said Jay Gupta, professor of physics and the program’s principal investigator. “What’s exciting about the program we’re launching at Ohio State is that it provides us an opportunity to design an innovative graduate curriculum from scratch, using evidence-based methods for instruction, and prioritizing multi-disciplinary research and education from the outset. The program also leverages the investments Ohio State has made recently in the Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering and in faculty hiring.”
Traditional graduate programs can lack the funding and industry engagement needed to develop a diverse workforce that can solve grand challenges in quantum information sciences and engineering (QISE) and translate fundamental research to commercial applications. In addition to courses, NRT trainees will be engaged in QISE research and industry internships from the start, and will develop professional skills in ethics, technical writing and communication.
The program will directly fund 25 trainees over the five-year award period, with 10-20 additional degree students funded from other sources and more than 100 students benefiting from taking courses as electives. Along with the educational benefits, the program will deliver cutting-edge research and training of a diverse workforce in semiconductor and quantum technologies.
“The project provides a fantastic opportunity for faculty and students to connect between the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences,” said Ron Reano, co-director of the Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering and professor of electrical and computer engineering. “The CHIPS and Science Act, recently signed into law in 2022, makes clear that the time is now to transition quantum ideas from the scientific domain into the engineering domain to create technologies in the real world to address problems of societal interest.”
The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high-priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.

This Scripture quote describes the entertainment industry exactly. It is an industry obsessed with sequels, prequels, imaginations, remakes, spinoffs and ripoffs. Last season the gimmick was to come up with an American version of some show that had already been successful overseas. This season the theme is make a TV series out of a hit movie. The biggest examples are “Limitless” which we will review separately elsewhere and the new Fox series “Minority Report” which we will discuss here.
In case you missed it, the 2002 film version of Minority Report was directed by Steven Spielberg based on a short story by famous science fiction author Philip K. Dick. It starring Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, and Samantha Morton. The film is set in the near future Washington DC area where the local police have the authority to arrest you for a crime you did not yet commit. This “pre-crime” arrest is based upon information from three psychics called “precogs” who are kept in a semi-coma state. They’re connected to machines which read their thoughts as they have visions of violent crimes which are about to occur. Tom Cruise plays one of the special police officers who are part of the pre-crime unit however he stumbles onto a secret and suddenly he has been accused and is sought for a pre-crime of his own. The title of the film and TV show comes from the fact that the three precogs don’t always agree 100% on what will happen. Sometimes two of them agree and the third one issues a minority report about an alternate future.
The TV show takes place 10 years later. Pre-crime has been abolished because of the scandal uncovered in the film. The three precogs have been released to hide out in a cabin in the woods so that they will not be inundated by visions and other people’s thoughts. The story revolves around one of the three precogs named Dash. He leaves the isolation to make his way in the real world and to try to prevent some of the crimes that he envisions. Not by having people arrested prior to the crime but simply by changing the future and preventing the crime by other means. He teams up with a detective named Lara Vega who discovers who he is and what he’s trying to do.
The problem is that Dash was the weakest of the three siblings. His older sister Agatha would see the big picture of a crime, his brother Arthur would pick up details and Dash would fill them with all items that the other two missed. This particular plot device leaves plenty of room for Detective Vega to use ordinary police skills to try to figure out what bad thing is when to happen. Think of it sort of as “Person of Interest” without the computer.
Occasionally he has to resort to seeking the help from his precogs siblings Agatha and Arthur while attempting to solve a crime. And there the end of the first episode we see that there is some sort of destiny awaiting the three precogs that has yet to unfold.
Detective Vega is equipped with all sorts of futuristic crime-fighting tools that allow her to re-create virtual crime scenes on-the-fly and other sorts of typical sci-fi crime-fighting tricks. The special effects are above average for a weekly TV series and the action is strong enough to keep you interested. The story is peppered with some typical stranger in a strange land kind of humor because Dash has not lived a normal life and have absolutely no social skills whatsoever.
I did not mention the stars of the show because they really can’t be called stars. I didn’t recognize any of them from any other films or TV shows. Even looking up their resume on the IMDb did not jog my memory in a way that would make me say “oh yes I remember they were in ______”.
I’m kind of person who will watch all but the most horrible science fiction show. So saying that I’m going to watch it probably is not much of an endorsement. However this one looks like it is well above average if quite outstanding must-see TV. So it gets a rather strong “I’m watching it” rating. I suggest you check it out especially if you like sci-fi. | <urn:uuid:d322cb02-95b0-4f0d-8fe4-b29f86bcb900> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://entertainment.cyborg5.com/2015/09/30/review-minority-report-a-worthy-sequel/ | 2023-09-26T06:53:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.974317 | 885 |

As the old saying goes, you’ll never get a second chance to make a great first impression. It usually happens quickly, but its impact can benefit you for a long period of time.
People will decide whether they like a person or not in a matter of seconds, and that first impression can be tough to shake if it’s not in the favor of that person.
The same thing goes regardless of the fact that you meet a person face-to-face or online. If the exchange is business-related, you must absolutely start off on the right foot. Thankfully, there are a lot of ways to improve the first impression, whether made in the real world or in the digital one. Also, as a bonus, it will actually pay off to follow better habits. Do you really know what people really think of you?
1. First of all, smile. It’s the most simple and common piece of advice I can offer you. Yet, it can prove challenging for some people. Even though you fake the smile, a fake smile is still better than no smile at all. By practicing smiling and making eye contact with people you pass by on the street, in your building, at work, this will become a habit.
2. Be positive. Your attitude makes the biggest difference in every circumstance, so focus on the bright side and be positive. This way you will be able to make the people around you feel better and bring a smile on their faces.
3. Find a way to introduce yourself with a genuine remark. Instead of using the safe, almighty and polite “Nice to meet you” maybe you should consider coming up with something else. By simply addressing people with the “nice to meet you” greeting, some may find you insincere. This does not mean you have to come up with something out of the ordinary or quirky. “It’s a pleasure” is a good example that most people tend to overlook. Instead of just going through the motions, in general, make sure you show your pleasure of meeting someone.
4. No person is born to actively listen. An individual could even spend a lifetime of practice without ever considering perfecting it. This refers to more than just nodding along. Most people are just listening while waiting for their turn to talk. You should pay attention to more than just the words: body language, eye contact and tone are all great cues of seeing how the person is really feeling. By actively listening and asking thoughtful follow-up questions, the person talking to you will be left with a great impression. And this, in turn can work wonders for you.
5. Pay attention to your body language. Every entrepreneur should know the basics, but do you actually practice them? Things such as knowing what to do with your hands, not crossing your arms, not playing with your hair are a great place to start. Also, you could lean slightly in while respecting the other person’s personal space. And if you find yourself backed in a corner, you could try to lightly mirror what the other person is doing. Practice your handshake: people with firm handshake make a better first impression.
6. Create a foundation for mutual understanding. When you are meeting a total stranger, even if it’s just to do business, it’s in the peoples nature to pursue finding a common ground because that offers them a connection. Despite it being over the mutual love of a type of food, restaurant, a specific workout, it’s not that hard finding someone who has the same interests as you.
7. Be a master at written communication. Your first impression in the online environment depends entirely on your writing skills. Avoid text speaking and read your email ten times before you hit the send button. Make sure to offer all the information in a clear and transparent manner.

Turkish Communication and Media Policies as Reflected in Government Programs: A Historical Analysis between 1923 and 2014
The main aim of this paper is to explore Turkish communication and media policies through governmental programs. Governmental programs are valuable sources for tracing the historical development and change of public policies on communication and media. Our research examines 60 governmental programs. We used content analysis methodology in order to examine the communication and media policies in these programs. As unstructured data, the texts of 60 governmental programs (a corpus of 892 pages) are pre-processed (tokenized, stemmed, tagged and cleaned) by KNIME, an open source software for text analysis and data mining. Additionally, we developed a term dictionary for searching communication and media policies. These dictionary terms helped us exploring the themes of governmental policies. Finally, we graphed the data suitably for the historical analysis of themes in order to trace the policy changes. Our research findings helped us to monitor the changes in Turkish communication and media eco-system with regard to specific technologies such as newspaper, radio, television and internet. We also explored certain policy concepts on communication and media freedoms and rights. The analysis revealed that almost all governments included communication and media related issues in their programs, and the amount of references to communication and media policies increased historically. It is also found that the political differences of governments did not cause much difference in their quantitative references to communication and media issues.

Finding cheap car insurance can be quite an ordeal, especially when it comes to adding a teen driver to your policy. Your premiums can sky rocket when this time comes, and its not something most look forward to paying for. A parent adding a male teen to their policy can expect their new rate to run as high as $6,186, and in some cases 227% higher than insuring an adult driver alone, and a teen buying their own policy can be even more expensive. We can help walk you through the decision making process, the discounts and special instances that might apply to hopefully lead you into the cheapest auto insurance for your teen.
First of all, as we said in a previous post, usually the best way to go is to add the young driver to the adult’s insurance policy. In addition to taking this first step, there are some other areas you need to research, compare and discover to ensure you find the best company and cheapest rate.
Let’s Start From The Beginning
- Know your timing. Most insurance companies will contact you prior to your child even getting their license because they have your children’s birthdates in their system. They ask you when you get set up. This makes it a bit easier because they contact you. Try contacting them as soon as your teenager has their learners permit if they haven’t contacted you yet. This will give you time to shop policies and get their rates ahead of time, rather than rushing just as your child walks out the door with a pass on their drivers license test. Chances are excellent your existing car insurance company will contact you proactively. How do they know? In general, permitted drivers are automatically covered as a part of the parent or guardian’s policy with no action needed on your part, but when they do have a true driver’s license, even provisional, they will need to be on your policy or get their own.
- Get ready to compare quotes. Its worth your time to call around and compare quotes. Washington is one of the higher premium states for teen drivers, so expect your premiums to jump up quite a bit with all the companies. But, even with in the general jump, each company charges different prices, so you want to call around. You are welcome to have us do that for you. We are well versed in all the different rates offered by various companies, and we can take that leg work out for you. No matter what, its important that you call, or have us take care of it for you.
- Understand available discounts. We know all the available discounts to ensure you have the cheapest rates, so make sure that if you are researching on your own you know what’s available and what you might qualify for. Otherwise, there could be discounts to lower your rates that you won’t know to ask for.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia now have a Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) system, which we describe more in detail here, and according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). GDL programs save lives. A study by the IIHS found states with stronger graduated licensing programs had a 30% lower fatal crash rate for 15- to 17-year olds.
How much is car insurance for teens?
As we mentioned, it gets expensive when you have a teen driver. The less experienced they are, the higher their premiums. They are just proven to be riskier to ensure. Young drivers are far more likely to get into car accidents than older drivers. The risk is highest with 16-year-olds, who have a crash rate twice as high as 18- and 19-year-olds. That risk is reflected in the average car insurance rates for teenagers (multiple ages shown for easy comparison):
Teen Drivers General Rates
16-year-old – $3,989
17-year-old – $3,522
18-year-old – $3,148
19-year-old – $2,178
20-year-old – $1,945
Various Company Costs Female and Male Average
Company 1 $2,646 $2,961 $2,804
Company 2 $2,607 $3,472 $3,040
Company 3 $5,613 $8,966 $7,290
Company 4 $2,640 $3,080 $2,860
Company 5 $2,642 $3,454 $3,048
Company 6 $2,030 $2,064 $2,047
Average $3,030 $3,999 $3,515
See, various companies give various discounts and prices. Its not the same everywhere, and the hunt is necessary to get the cheapest auto insurance for your teenager in Washington. Let us get you the lowest rate. We’ve been doing this for year, we are experts, and we can take care of everything for you with just a quick phone call, or a quick quote request. | <urn:uuid:8d321857-b3ce-4aaf-b738-9b2ccaed3424> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ericjohnsoninsurance.com/young-drivers-insurance/finding-cheap-car-insurance-for-teenage-drivers-in-wahington/ | 2023-09-26T06:00:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.96359 | 1,029 |

Organizations that understand the importance of having an advanced ERP system in place are all praise for the Dynamics 365 platform they’ve successfully implemented. The ability of the system to bring different departments and systems together, enhance collaboration, boost enterprise visibility, and improve business decision-making is extremely appreciated. But over time, many organizations find that the benefits are stagnating – not understanding why! It’s primarily because they’re unable to leverage their Dynamics 365 platform to its maximum potential while also struggling to match the pace of changing market trends, industry dynamics, and customer needs.
The Need for Dynamics 365 Managed Services
An ERP like Dynamics 365 has truly become the backbone of any organization. But successfully implementing it is just the first step toward digital transformation. Since just a few hours of ERP downtime can have a major impact on business operations, driving continuous transformation and accruing long-term benefits from Dynamics 365 requires the platform to be effectively monitored and managed. Such monitoring ensures that the system is not just up and running but also current and optimized while being able to sustain and accelerate business results and drive the level of efficiency employees and customers expect.
Dynamics 365 Managed Services enable access to a qualified pool of expert resources who can improve the performance of your ERP application, thus lowering the costs of hiring and maintaining an internal support team. By resolving business issues and improving SLA compliance, Managed Services can allow the business to adapt to changing business needs and scale as required while empowering IT teams to focus on critical tasks.
Using time-tested tools and advanced support frameworks, businesses can ensure their Dynamics 365 platform is implemented correctly, functions securely, and operates efficiently. Here are 5 ways in which you can maximize your ERP investment via Dynamics 365 Managed Services:
1. Continuous Monitoring and Maintenance
Opting for Dynamics 365 Managed Services can ensure your enterprise application keeps pace with the dynamic world. Continuous and ongoing monitoring and maintenance make sure your Dynamics 365 instance performs without issues while constantly enhancing business performance, employee productivity, and customer loyalty.

2. Effective User Management
Dynamics 365 Managed Services are a great way to ensure the level of security your business needs. Through frequent assessment of existing access control mechanisms, you can identify security loopholes while taking steps to implement required user management controls, so only authorized users have access to data and modules, and your business data is safeguarded against theft or misuse.
3. Seamless Business Continuity
As compared to siloed systems where points of failure were multiple, with a Dynamics 365 system, the points of failure are few but significant. Dynamics 365 Managed Services can ensure your ERP application functions properly and without interruption, allowing your business to run smoothly. Continuous monitoring of the system aids in discovering issues or bottlenecks that can impact the user experience or bring processes to a halt while allowing you to make necessary changes for seamless operations – even in the event of a power outage, natural calamity, or security breach.
4. Efficient Vendor Management
Opting for Dynamics 365 Managed Services can also help in streamlining your relationship with Microsoft. Right from establishing the right standards to negotiating contract teams, renewing licenses to maintaining SLAs – Dynamics 365 Managed Services can ensure that your communication and connection with Microsoft is seamless and stress-free. Via close partnerships, Managed Services pave the way for direct access to Microsoft specialists, so escalations are handled in time.

Partnering with a Qualified Provider

Whether you need ongoing monitoring and maintenance of your Dynamics 365 platform, cost savings, or enhanced user experience, a qualified MSP can act as a single point of contact for all your Dynamics 365 needs and ensure the application is constantly optimized and continuously improved.

With a 24×7 helpdesk, a partner can also ensure a high uptime guarantee while delivering services using a flexible pricing model – so you can optimize your costs and enhance application and business performance.

My buddy Andy Wibbels just distracted me from a post I have been trying to write all morning by his “Asking for Link Exchanges is Tacky.” In his no b.s. way, he says:
“I hate hate hate when I get emailed out of the blue by somebody I’ve never met and they want me to add their link to my site OH GOODY they are going to add mine to theirs.
Link farms are so 1997. Jesus, people.
Only thing worse is: HEY ANDY I FOUND THIS GREAT NEW SERVICE and then they link to it and it is a frigging affiliate link.”
I got a little riled up when I thought about it, because I too get bewildered by “link exchange requests” that come with no warning, out of the blue, from people I have never met.
Some of Andy’s commenters were a bit frustrated by the post, saying (me paraphrasing) “OK, so we know what NOT to do, but what SHOULD we do to get more incoming links and increase our Technorati ranking?”
Where I think we get tripped up is in separating typical “online” networking protocol from “offline” protocol.
What I said in a comment to Andy is: “Would you really walk up to someone that you had never met at a networking function, stick out your hand, introduce yourself and say “Hi Andy — I’m Pam, and I was wondering if you could include information about MY business in your next newsletter? Better yet, could you put my picture on a big slide in your next presentation?”
Of course you would not do that. Just as you would not go up to someone you had never met and plant a big, wet kiss square on his (or her) lips.
A kiss is intimate and personal, for heaven’s sake. And built on getting to know each other. And like and trust each other. All this takes time and conversation. And as any pained teenager can tell you (having been one myself), the best kind of kiss to get is when the kisser does it spontaneously because they WANT to kiss you, not because you ask for it.
Blogs are personal. You can get to know a lot about people by what they write, the look and feel of their site, their picture (or lack thereof), who they link to and what kind of things they promote. You should be thoughtful and, yes, picky about what you put on your site, not to be arrogant or shut anyone out, but because a big part of what people will find valuable about your blog is thoughtfully screened content and resources.
If you set a table up in a mall and offer a kiss to anyone willing to pay a dollar for it, it loses its precious value and appeal.
So maintain your honor and don’t fling yourself at unknown suitors until you are sure you know they have your best interests in mind. Take the time to gently introduce yourself, get to know people who interest you, and if you have a real, mutual “attraction” that stands the test of time, links and pings and bookmarks will happen naturally.
Finally, a last bit of advice that you can take with a grain of salt, since I realize it is my own pet peeve: Never ask for a link. Seduce it.

Political parody: The new image of Mongolian contemporary art
MetadataShow full item record
This research investigates the paradigm of parody in Mongolian political art through exploring its connection with the mythological figure of the manggus. As it has emerged in the Mongolian visual art of parody, the manggus figure incarnates various fears. Fundamental to this exegesis is researching the national sensibility for using parody in Mongolian art as a response to fear and as a mode of resistance-this is a new investigation in academic scholarship into Mongol identity and art.

So I’m a bit of a latecomer to Pokemon GO. I’ve been tentatively excited about it since the teaser trailer was released, but I was deliberately trying to not get my hopes up too much. In joining late, I dodged most of the initial issues with server crashes (woo) but joined the Pokemon Go Community just in time for all the controversy.
I was a responsible adult and held off installing Pokemon Go until I finished up some very adult-y tasks. I was forced to live vicariously through my coworker – Pokemon Go is her first Pokemon game ever. In addition to showing off her new catches every day, she often talked about the sheer number of people she’d see playing.
My boy. On an unrelated note, can anyone tell me what the implications of having an XL sized Charmander are?
On Tuesday, she and I walked down to Capitol Lake, a notorious Pokemon Go Community hangout. In addition to the regular walkers and joggers who frequent the lake during the sunny season in Washington, there were about 10-15 people milling around staring at their phones. Were they all playing Pokemon? Probably not. We walked a little bit farther around the lake, hitting up one of the many Pokestops. We approached three Pokestops in a row, complete with lures. Suddenly the ten or 15 players became more like 40 or 50. Little kids, high school kids, older people with canes, families, single people… all together to Pokemon.
I snapped this pic while out catching Pokemon. Not complaining.

I watched a few little kids unabashedly approach stranger adults and cheerily ask them “Did you see the Wartortle a couple of minutes ago? Do you wanna challenge the gym with me?” I was pleased (and maybe a little surprised) that all the adults were friendly and polite back to them. The Pokemon Go Community is welcoming.

The purpose of this assignment is to develop 3 different clinical research questions.
Elements of the problem to be addressed in a clinical research question:
- Patient or population affected
- Intervention, prevention or diagnostic action to be evaluated
- Circumstance, time factor and/or setting
- Clinical or health outcome
- Select a nursing topic of interest to you and briefly (one sentence) describe why you selected the topic. Then state in 1-2 sentences the health or patient care issue you would like to address in your clinical question, and an intervention you plan to use to address it. The intervention SHOULD be non-pharmacological and within the scope of nursing care in the U.S. (3 sentences total) Remember this takes interaction, look at the literature, talk to other nurses and health professionals. What questions have you had lately? Keep a list!
- Identify the 4 elements of the PICO question. Frame these out. When you have an idea start writing it down and rewriting, frame it out in the format below to figure out the parts. Designate each component clearly:
- In one sentence construct a focused evidence-based clinical question using the PICO format. To write the PICO sentence, review the format for different types of PICO questions. Does it make sense? Have someone else read it and ask them if it makes sense. Does it have all 4 parts of the PICO question included?
Students are encouraged to use the most up-to-date research you can find on your topic (articles published within the last 5 years to 10 years). Systematic literature review articles will not be accepted or approved for this project. | <urn:uuid:a60c9aa7-0103-4d66-b5fd-8685540be1fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://essaylane.com/2020/08/17/state-in-1-2-sentences-the-health-or-patient-care-issue-you-would-like-to-address-in-your-clinical-question-and-an-intervention-you-plan-to-use-to-address-it/ | 2023-09-26T06:45:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.928479 | 368 |

Are you looking to turn your Ethereum into cash? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Selling Ethereum for fiat money is a great way to convert your digital currency into cash.
In this article, we’ll show you how to do this safely and securely. We’ll walk you through the different options available, such as direct exchanges, exchange platforms, peer-to-peer trading, and cryptocurrency ATMs.
We’ll also discuss the risks associated with selling Ethereum for fiat money.
So let’s get started!
You can exchange your Ethereum for fiat currency directly through various online exchanges, giving you quick and easy access to the funds you need. These exchanges provide you with a secure and straightforward platform to convert your ETH into a variety of different currencies.
All you need to do is register with the exchange and verify your identity, and then you can use it to buy and sell cryptocurrency. The exchange also provides you with detailed information about the current market rate for ETH and the different currencies available.
Once you make a trade, the transaction will be completed instantly, and you’ll have access to the funds you need in fiat.
Exchanging crypto for ‘real’ currency can sometimes be tricky, but luckily, there are platforms that can help you do this in a safe and secure manner. Exchange platforms provide the infrastructure to trade different types of cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, for fiat money.
These platforms are similar to stock exchanges, where buyers and sellers can trade at the current market price. The process to exchange Ethereum for fiat money is usually straightforward. After signing up for an exchange platform, users can deposit their Ethereum into their account and then place an order to exchange it for fiat money.
The order will then be processed, and the fiat money will be deposited into the user’s bank account. Exchange platforms also provide a secure environment, with strict security measures in place to protect users from fraud and theft.
Peer-to-peer trading allows people to trade cryptocurrencies directly, without the need for an exchange platform. This means that you can buy and sell Ethereum for fiat money without having to go through a third-party intermediary.
It also allows you to set your own price, which can be beneficial if you’re looking for a good deal. However, it can be more time-consuming and risky than using a traditional exchange platform.
As there is no middleman to screen potential buyers and sellers, there is a higher risk of fraud or scams. Additionally, the process of finding a suitable buyer or seller can take longer than going through an exchange.
With cryptocurrency ATMs, you can easily purchase digital currencies without needing to go through a third-party exchange. This makes it easier to buy Ethereum quickly and for a relatively low fee. Cryptocurrency ATMs are becoming increasingly popular and are becoming more and more ubiquitous.
You can find them in many places around the world, including convenience stores, banks, shopping malls, airports, and even on the streets. You can also use them to exchange Ethereum for fiat money such as USD, EUR, or GBP.
The process of buying Ethereum through a cryptocurrency ATM is relatively straightforward. First, you need to choose the amount of Ethereum you want to buy. Then, you insert cash into the ATM and provide your Ethereum address. Finally, the machine will process the transaction and dispense the purchased Ethereum to your address.
It’s important to remember that the fees for using a cryptocurrency ATM are usually higher than those for buying Ethereum through a peer-to-peer trading platform or a third-party exchange.
Understanding the Risks
Investing in cryptocurrencies can be risky, so it’s important to understand the potential risks before you get involved.
When it comes to selling Ethereum for fiat money at a cryptocurrency ATM, the most common risk is the possibility of the machine malfunctioning or not accepting the currency. This is why it’s important to research the machine you’re using and make sure it’s reliable.
Additionally, when selling Ethereum for fiat money, there’s always the risk of the rate changing quickly, meaning you may not get the price you expected. This is why it’s important to pay attention to the current market rate and consider using a service that locks in the rate ahead of the sale.
Finally, there’s always the risk of fraud or theft when dealing with cryptocurrencies, so it’s important to take necessary precautions such as making sure you’re using a reputable machine and double-checking the address to which you’re sending the funds.
By understanding the risks associated with selling Ethereum for fiat money, you can be better prepared to make the most of your investment. Doing your research, understanding the current market rate, and taking the necessary security precautions are key to reducing risk and maximizing your profits.
You’ve taken the first step towards selling your ethereum for fiat money. Whether you opt for a direct exchange, an exchange platform, peer-to-peer trading, or a cryptocurrency ATM, you’ll need to understand the risks involved.
Ultimately, all of these methods can help you get the money you need. With proper research and caution, you can make the most of your cryptocurrency investments and turn them into cash. Don’t forget to keep up with market trends and regulations to ensure a safe and successful transaction. | <urn:uuid:db9e349f-26a0-4391-a58c-0475ed116c08> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ethereumfunding.io/selling-ethereum-for-fiat-money/ | 2023-09-26T05:40:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.932654 | 1,147 |

History of Von’s Chicken
The name Von’s Chicken has already proved that the restaurants focus only on chicken. Their time began in 2007 and it was launched at a place from where the real and delicious chicken food originated.
Von’s Chicken’s first spot was opened in South Korea in 2007 and this continued to get launched in more places around the world. But the highlight for the company today is that it is now operating 70 spots in different cities and countries and they can be credited for making chicken items popular in various locations outside the US.
One of the owners of the place is John Kim and he is also the mastermind behind two more places – Broadway and Yokohama. His family was immigrants from Korea and they planned to launch a minor business so that they don’t have to work by taking orders from anyone else.
The family was also planning to opt for a business focusing on dry cleaning but the cost was too expensive to launch such a huge business. The family then brought Talk of Broadway to downtown Redwood City in 1995.
He once stated that he came to America when he was 16 years old. His financial condition was not so good at the time and it took around nine years for the entire family to get back to their normal form.
Kim started by working at a store in Irving Street and his mother was working as a dishwasher alongside being a housewife. Kim’s mother continued to work for a long time, including his wife’s family restaurant but the restaurant was eventually shut down during the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said that Americans do not only have a close connection with good food but they are also interested in having a good social life. He said that his restaurant became popular due to the closure of a few places that offered breakfast.

|Honorific Prefix:||The Right Honourable|
|The Baroness Rendell of Babergh|
|Birth Date:||1930 2, df=yes|
|Birth Name:||Ruth Barbara Grasemann|
|Birth Place:||South Woodford, Essex, England|
|Death Place:||London, England|
Ruth Barbara Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, (; 17 February 1930 – 2 May 2015) was an English author of thrillers and psychological murder mysteries.
Rendell is best known for creating Chief Inspector Wexford. A second string of works was a series of unrelated crime novels that explored the psychological background of criminals and their victims. This theme was developed further in a third series of novels, published under the pseudonym Barbara Vine.
Rendell was born as Ruth Barbara Grasemann in 1930, in South Woodford, Essex (now Greater London). Her parents were teachers. Her mother, Ebba Kruse, was born in Sweden to Danish parents and brought up in Denmark; her father, Arthur Grasemann, was English. As a result of spending Christmas and other holidays in Scandinavia, Rendell learned Swedish and Danish. Rendell was educated at the County High School for Girls in Loughton, Essex, the town to which the family moved during her childhood.
After high school, she became a feature writer for her local Essex paper, the Chigwell Times. However, she was forced to resign after filing a story about a local sports club dinner she hadn't attended and failing to report that the after-dinner speaker had died midway through the speech.
Rendell met her husband Don Rendell when she was working as a newswriter. They married when she was 20, and in 1953 had a son, Simon, now a psychiatric social worker who lives in the U.S. state of Colorado. The couple divorced in 1975 but remarried two years later. Don Rendell died in 1999 from prostate cancer.
She made the county of Suffolk her home for many years, using the settings in several of her novels. She lived in the villages of Polstead and later Groton, both east of Sudbury. She was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1996 Birthday Honours and a life peer as Baroness Rendell of Babergh, of Aldeburgh in the County of Suffolk, on 24 October 1997. She sat in the House of Lords for the Labour Party. In 1998 Rendell was named on a list of the party's biggest private financial donors. She introduced into the Lords the bill that would later become the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 (the intent was to prevent the practice).
In August 2014, Rendell was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian expressing their hope that Scotland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom in September's referendum on that issue.
Rendell was a vegetarian who was described as living mostly on fruit. She described herself as "slightly agoraphobic" and slept in a specially made four-poster bed because "I like to feel enclosed."
Baroness Rendell's awards include the Silver, Gold, and Cartier Diamond Daggers from the Crime Writers' Association, three Edgars from the Mystery Writers of America, The Arts Council National Book Awards, and The Sunday Times Literary Award. A number of her works (see the section below) have been adapted for film or television. She was also a patron of the charity Kids for Kids which helps children in rural areas of Darfur. There is a blue plaque on one of her homes, 45 Millsmead Way, in Loughton. This was unveiled by her son Simon on 24 February 2016. Four of her novels appear on the British-based Crime Writers Association Poll (1990) of the best crime fiction novels ever written: two under the Rendell name and two under her pen name of Barbara Vine.
Her Crime Writer’s Association Dagger wins (four Gold, one Silver and one Cartier Diamond) remains unmatched, as does her record of being the first author to be nominated and win under multiple names. Her unparalleled Edgar and Dagger finalist nominations include: A Judgement In Stone (1977 Gold Dagger finalist), A Sleeping Life (1979 Edgar finalist for Best Novel), Make Death Love Me (1980 Edgar finalist for Best Novel), The Speaker Of Mandarin (1983 Gold Dagger finalist), An Unkindness Of Ravens and The Tree Of Hands (both 1986 Edgar finalists for Best Novel), A Dark-Adapted Eye (as Barbara Vine, 1986 Gold Dagger finalist), A Fatal Inversion (as Barbara Vine 1988 Macavity Award finalist for Best Novel), and Going Wrong (1990 Gold Dagger finalist.) Additionally, she was nominated four times in the Edgar “Best Short Story” category (in 1976 for The Fall Of The Coin and 1977 for People Don’t Do Such Things) winning twice for The Fallen Curtain (1975) and The New Girlfriend (1984).
Rendell wrote two unpublished novels before the 1964 publication of From Doon with Death, which was purchased for £75 by John Long; it was the first mystery to feature Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford. Rendell said that the character of Wexford was based on herself. The Monster in the Box, released in October 2009, was widely suggested to be Wexford's last case. This was incorrect; however it was the final novel featuring Wexford as an employed policeman. In the two following novels, The Vault and No Man's Nightingale, he was retired but was still involved in police investigations as a "consultant".
In Introducing Chief Inspector Wexford by Daniel Mallory he says (based on a 1990 interview with Rendell by Marilyn Stasio) that Rendell refers to the hated Agatha (Christie) and that awful Marple woman; and says of St. Mary Mead that she can hardly bear to say the name of that village where one finds a lot of normal, law-abiding people living ordinary, blameless lives, who suddenly decide to murder their aunt. Well, I don’t believe that. (Introducing Chief Inspector Wexford by Daniel Mallory; from 1990 Rendell interview with Marilyn Stasio)
In addition to these police procedurals starring Wexford, Rendell wrote psychological crime novels exploring such themes as romantic obsession, misperceived communication, the impact of chance and coincidence, and the humanity of the criminals involved. Among such books are A Judgement in Stone, The Face of Trespass, Live Flesh, Talking to Strange Men, The Killing Doll, Going Wrong and Adam and Eve and Pinch Me. For the last novel published in her lifetime, The Girl Next Door, she returned to the Loughton of her childhood, with an implied comparison of the moral climate of wartime England and 2014.
Rendell created a third strand of writing with the publication in 1986 of A Dark-Adapted Eye under her pseudonym Barbara Vine (the name was derived from her own middle name and her great grandmother's maiden name). King Solomon's Carpet, A Fatal Inversion and Asta's Book (alternative U.S. title, Anna's Book), among others, inhabited the same territory as her psychological crime novels while further developing themes of human misunderstandings and the unintended consequences of family secrets and hidden crimes. The author was noted for her elegant prose and sharp insights into the human mind, as well as her cogent plots and characters. Rendell injected the social changes of the last 40 years into her work, bringing awareness to such issues as domestic violence.
The Inspector Wexford series was successfully televised, starring George Baker as Inspector Wexford and Christopher Ravenscroft as Detective Mike Burden, under the title The Ruth Rendell Mysteries, with 48 episodes from 1987 to 2000. Rendell praised Baker's performance, stating "It was a marvellous achievement as an actor to make him more and better than the author intended." Many of her other works have been adapted for film and television. She said that Claude Chabrol's 1995 version of A Judgement in Stone, La Cérémonie with Sandrine Bonnaire, was one of the few film adaptations of her work that she was happy with. The novel was also filmed in 1986 with Rita Tushingham. Chabrol made La Demoiselle d'honneur in 2004, based on The Bridesmaid.
Other adaptations are Diary of the Dead (1976), from the book One Across, Two Down; the 1997 Pedro Almodóvar film Live Flesh; The Tree of Hands, directed by Giles Foster for Granada with Lauren Bacall (U.S. title: "Innocent Victim"); and another version of The Tree of Hands, Betty Fisher et autres histoires (2001, a.k.a. Alias Betty), with screenplay and direction by Claude Miller. François Ozon's 2015 film The New Girlfriend was based on Rendell's short story of the same name. Two episodes of Tales of the Unexpected were based on Rendell's short stories - "A Glowing Future" (series 4, episode 15) and "People Don't Do Such Things" (series 8, episode 1).

For photosynthesis to proceed on a planet like Earth, sunlight (visual light) must penetrate the atmosphere all the way to the ground.
So how did the paper determine that photosynthesis has an “overall simplicity,” despite the complexity just described?

If you’re taking pain relievers and just don’t want to stay dependent on them forever, physical therapy can be exactly the solution you need.
Physical therapy can be very beneficial for both short-term pain (usually, that which lasts just a few weeks or months) and long-term or chronic pain (that which lasts for more than three months).
The opioid epidemic is often in the news, and it may have started you thinking about the effect that pain pills are having on your life. You might be tired of needing to take pain relievers every day when you wake up, during the day as you struggle to move without pain, and at night just to sleep comfortably.
Fortunately, physical therapy can provide you with long-lasting relief. Physical therapy can help you govern your pain without drugs, giving you a chance to break away from your reliance on opioids.
Relieving pain with physical therapy
Physical therapy can help you get a handle on your pain so that you don’t need opioids anymore. Of course, you should only discontinue high doses of opioids under professional medical supervision (to prevent a potentially dangerous withdrawal).
In the meantime, however, our physical therapist can work with you on treating the biomechanical problems that caused your pain in the first place.
Here are just a few of the physical therapy modalities that can help you conquer your pain:
- Exercises can increase your pain-free range of motion, strengthen the muscles that support your body, and increase blood flow to reduce inflammation.
- Massage therapy can control painful muscle spasms, help the tissues expel inflammatory substances, and direct more blood and oxygen to an injury.
- Laser therapy can ease pain caused by injuries, arthritis, muscular strain, tendinitis, or neuropathy.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) uses electrical energy to block pain signals to nerves.
The many benefits of physical therapy
Physical therapists are now equipped to help you in two different ways: by restoring your function and relieving your pain.
Your physical therapist restores your function by strengthening the weakened muscles, ligaments, tendons, and body tissues. This allows your body to heal and gives you the strong support system you need to enjoy full function long-term.
In addition to getting stronger, you’ll also get pain relief from the newest evidence-based pain interventions.
Your doctor and physical therapist can work together to help you feel better. Instead of opioid pain medications, which can be addictive and even deadly, your doctor may prescribe an option like nerve membrane stabilizers and then send you to a skilled physical therapist who can help you heal without the interference of opioid medications.
Your physical therapist can also help you with stress management.
If you’re dealing with stress and anxiety because of your pain, physical therapy can improve your life by teaching you new mindfulness techniques like meditation, stress reduction exercises, and other alternative ways to deal with the situations that tend to lead to problems.
Opioids vs. physical therapy
Opioid medication does play a role in pain management, but it’s really best for situations where you feel severe pain immediately after the injury or immediately after surgery. Ideally, opioid medication should be used sparingly and only for a week or less.
Opioid medication was never designed to be the type of drug that you take for months, years, or a lifetime. Opiates can trigger extreme sensitivity in your pain receptors, which is why they may end up making your pain even worse over time.
That’s why physical therapy is such a good alternative. It allows you to bypass that chronic dependency. Physical therapy is designed to relieve the pain without drugs.
If it seems too good to be true, just keep reading. You’ll learn how physical therapy can stop the pain and help you leave the pills behind for good.
Evidence supporting PT
As stated by the APTA website, “The White House has announced that APTA is among the organizations that have joined a public-private partnership to combat opioid usage and prescription drug abuse, and that the association will reach out to the public and its members to deliver the message that pain can be effectively managed through conservative, non drug approaches.
Physical therapists can help individuals manage pain, and greater use of physical therapy could make a real impact on the tragic levels of drug abuse in this country—abuse that often begins with a prescription for pain medication.”

Such a wonderful week we had at the Haven. Doreen was such a great host, took care of all the little intangibles that made us feel extra welcome. The property sits on the water with unobstructed views through large bay windows of the bay, surrounding coastal areas, and the ruins of Liscannor castle. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, grilling, and using the outdoor sauna on most days. We had everything we needed to stay comfy and cozy when the weather kicked up, including many soft blankets and a wood stove. The beds were comfortable and the house well appointed. Liscannor is a quaint little coastal town with several pubs and restaurants, and a short drive to Lahinch for additional options. We played golf in Lahinch, enjoyed the Cliffs of Moher, the little town of Doolin an it's great music, and caught the ferry to the Aran islands, all within a short drive. Perfect location to venture further north through the Burren on the way to Galway, or south to Killkee Cliffs and Loop Head Lighthouse. We felt like we experienced the "real" Ireland at the Haven. Highly recommend.”

Von Miller Elizabeth Ruiz Video Scandal. Where can you watch the controversial video tape of Denver Broncos star Von Miller allegedly boinking model and video vixen Elizabeth Ruiz. Unfortunately for you (and for us because we are just as curious), it it seems like this ain’t gonna see the light of day. If Von will have his way, that is.
Currently, the Denver Broncos linebacker has managed to convince a judge to stop Elizabeth from releasing the tape. Oh, she was also ordered to surrender the controversial video. TMZ Sports has the details:
The woman who co-starred in the Von Miller s*x tape says the judge gave her 3 DAYS to hand over her copy … or else. … Ruiz says she’s frustrated over Tuesday’s court order to fork over her copy — insisting she’s done NOTHING wrong.
Jefe Wine Iggy Azalea Video Tape. Famous rapper/model Iggy Azalea and less famous rapper Jefe Wine are making the headlines today because of a s*x video tape the two reportedly shot and starred in several years ago. Not surprisingly, Iggy’s camp is trying to stop the tape from being released.
On the other hand, it looks like Jefe would like the alleged video to be released for public consumption. In fact, he did the ungentlemanly thing of 1) confirming that the tape exists and 2) positively identifying Iggy as the girl in the video. Looks like Jefe wants to be the male version of Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, no?
Who is Jefe Wine? We need no introduction about who Iggy Azalea is because she’s pretty famous and there’s a whole wikipedia page about her. Jefe Wine, for his part, is relatively unknown so we don’t know a lot about him. Here are five things you might want to know:

There is no excuse for whipping a woman, especially if she is the mother of your children, with latigo. So we are with Rachel in her domestic violence and violence against women case against Chavit Singson.
Second of all, ang cute ng boyfriend ni Rachel ano? You can understand kung bakit insecure si Chavit sa kanya. Macho, eh. What we don’t understand is why Chavit (and he admitted this in his TV interviews) would have this guy’s underwear removed and had the guy’s pictures taken while he’s naked. Seriously, why? Dahil gusto niyang tignan ang ano ng lalaki? Ano ba yan, Chavit? Ano ka, ghey?

Michael Jackson Secret Grave at Forest Lawn Cemetery. The Jackson family has reportedly buried Michael Jackson in a secret grave because they don’t want his fans to turn it into a shrine or, worst, damage or deface the grave. The grave is most likely located at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood but the exact spot is a secret except for the Jackson family.
Says a source (via Daily Mail): “Other than the Jackson family and the Forest Lawn management, no one knows the exact spot. Staff at the cemetery have been fed several locations, it’s as if they’re hoping to confuse everyone. The fear is that thousands of Jackson fans will descend on the cemetery and damage or deface the grave.”
What do you think of this Michael Jackson secret grave nonsense? Does Michael have the craziest of fans who will either desecrate him or venerate him? Or is the Jackson family over-estimating Michael’s importance in the scheme of things?
Ben Roethlisberger Girlfriend. If having a hot girlfriend could be used as a defense against accusations of sexual assault, then Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could say “I got me a hot girlfriend. And she’s a hot Canadian actress too.”
Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for sexual assault victims in particular and society in general), there’s no such thing as a “hot girlfriend defense”. So Ben must face his accuser using other pieces of evidence. (Backstory: For those of you who don’t know, a certain casino employee is accusing Ben of sexual assualt.

Although the word “mortgage” comes from the Middle Ages (it means “death pledge” in Old French, referring to the borrower’s pledge to remain on his property until he dies), the idea of a mortgage goes back way further in time. One of the oldest records of mortgage law, for example, is called the Manusmrti. At least 2,000 years old, the Manusmrti or “Code of Manu” lays out ethical lending practices and calls out unethical ones. Though much has changed since ancient times, mortgages are still around and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The best mortgage lenders tend to favor the borrowers who show the best signs of maturity and responsibility. In order to guarantee the best home loans rates and deals, homeowners need to be very careful and calculating in researching mortgage deals. In order to do so, here are three piece of advice for prospective homeowners to follow:
- Clean Up Your Credit Score: Having a strong credit score is the first step in any venture into mortgage lending. Home buyers should make sure their credit rating is as impressive as possible. They should review their credit reports and search for any errors that may skew the score. The Home Loan Learning Center reports that most lenders mandate a minimum credit score of 680 from borrowers (or 620 for federal housing).
- Don’t Rock the Boat: That is, when securing a loan, be sure to stay with your employer. Any major changes in employment or income can deter or halt the mortgage process altogether.
- Reserve 3.5% of the Loan For the Down Payment: Though mortgages rates vary from lender to lender, the average cost of a down payment is roughly 3.5% of the total worth of the loan. Be sure to reserve enough money for the down payment as well as for other closing costs before you sign any papers.

Lupe Victoria Yoli Raymond was born in the tiny town of San Pedrito in Santiago de Cuba in 1936. She died 55 years later of a masssive heart attack in New Jersey, where she resided at the time. She was known as “The Queen of Latin Soul,” “La Yi-yi-yi,” and other affectionate terms by her many fans across the world. But she was mostly recognized as La Lupe. She became world-famous with the help of TV hosts like Dick Cavett, Mike Douglas and others who loved bantering with her and watching her performances. She was exciting to watch and a pleasure to listen to as she pranced across stages and worked her show as only La Lupe could. There was no other like this excitingly talented Afro-Cuban vocalist/entertainer. However, in 1962, after becoming a local favorite on Cuban TV and stages, she was exiled from her native Cuba to Mexico for political reasons having to do with Fidel Castro’s revolution.
But this setback brought on the opportunity to fill a void in her heart, having known she could become a star in the US once given a chance. While in Cuba, she loved to impersonate singers she listened to on the radio and danced for the townspeople for a few centavos to help her family survive. But she never forgot the advice received from a Cuban idol: vocalist Olga Guillot counseled Lupe to be herself and stop imitating others. It wasn’t long before she made her way to New York where her idol, the burgeoning Cuban songstress, Celia Cruz, introduced her to Mongo Santamaria, who was leading his own successful Afro-Cuban band. Mongo was so impressed with Lupe that he hired her immediately to be lead singer for his group. And that was the break she needed to expose her extraordinary talents to the world. In 1963, the album Mongo Introduces La Lupe was released and she began to carve out a career of bright lights, fame and fortune for herself. The late, great king of Latin music, Tito Puente, caught her act while she performed for the Ray Barretto orchestra and snatched her up. And in 1965, the album Tito Puente Swings, The Exciting Lupe Sings was released by Tico Records and became an immediate winner. The combo went on to record a string of hits and by 1967 she recorded the album The Queen Does Her Thing as a solo performer, while still working with Tito and touring the world.
In 2002, she received the honor of having a street named “La Lupe Way” in her honor, in the Bronx, NY. She also recorded in English. Her version of “Fever” was an international hit and was used in many films including Birdcage and the TV series Magic City. Her antics were immediately adored by the gay community after she was impersonated by drag queen Nina Flowers on the TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars. The life of this exciting, exuberant entertainer needs to be reported to the world and is available for viewing in various films and documentaries on the Internet. Sadly, she died quietly in her sleep, with nothing but the memories she created for the multitude of fans who abundantly adored … La Lupe: The Queen of Latin Soul. | <urn:uuid:13ca6ceb-9b07-4168-88b9-3bcc5fc2007d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fania.com/artist-essentials/la-lupe/ | 2023-09-26T05:25:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.987161 | 706 |

Jeremy Lamb News
Sacramento Kings forward Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was only able to play nine minutes during Monday's game due to hamstring soreness. It's uncertain if he's feeling well enough to give it a go on Wednesday. Otherwise, Donte DiVincenzo has the most to gain in terms of fantasy value. He has scored in double digits in each of the last four games. He'll certainly be worth a look as a streaming option, especially if Lamb is out.
Sacramento Kings small forward Jeremy Lamb (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. the Bulls. Lamb returned from a three-outing absence to play 13 minutes off the bench Saturday, a slightly decreased role from what he held over his first five Kings appearances. Lamb's production has trended downward over the past three years, as he has shot just 37.2 percent from the floor this season, his lowest mark since his rookie campaign. He holds little season-long appeal due to his role on the second unit, although he possesses some DFS intrigue when Sacramento is short on the wing. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against Milwaukee.
Sacramento Kings small forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) and power forward Maurice Harkless (ankle) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Saturday's game against Utah. Lamb has missed the past three outings, while Harkless has been down the past six. Prior to his hip ailment, Lamb had carved out a solid role among the second unit, albeit while scuffling from the field (35.3% overall). Harkless has started the past 10 contests that he has appeared, although it remains to be seen how he fits into the new-look Kings rotation. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off to get the final word as Lamb and/or Harkless returning would stand to shift the club's minutes around.
Sacramento Kings guard Jeremy Lamb (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the third game in a row that Lamb has missed due to hip soreness. His next chance to get on the court will be March 12, so Lamb belongs on the waiver wire. Donte DiVincenzo and Davion Mitchell should both benefit in the absence of Lamb. Between the two, DiVincenzo is the slightly better fantasy option right now. | <urn:uuid:477f4537-7518-44b1-8933-572392eec13d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fantasydata.com/nba/jeremy-lamb-stats/20000882 | 2023-09-26T05:08:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.964317 | 564 |

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) means “joy of the mountains” in Greek. It’s native to Greece and other Mediterranean countries, and is most popularly known for its oft-starring role in Italian dishes. It’s easy to grow and will come back every year. It makes a compact, bushy plant with small leaves that carry a pungent aroma. There is more than one kind of oregano (you can also buy Spanish and Mexican oregano in specialty shops) and marjoram is also a close relation, in the same Origanum family, though it is slightly sweeter than the common oregano. The common oregano you find under the simple label “oregano” is Greek oregano.
While oregano got its start in Greece, it spread to Europe and on to the New World through the Spanish. Across the centuries, it has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes as well as the magical, included in spells for everything from happiness to luck. Put it in a love potion or scatter it around the house to protect you from evil! Much of oregano’s magical aura was derived from its supposed creation by the goddess Aphrodite. While I wouldn’t put too much stock in any of those ideas, oregano is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. It’s also quite tasty in a variety of savory dishes.
Any herb is best used fresh, but oregano keeps well when dried. Again, as with most herbs, crush the dried leaves as you use them to release the flavor (rather than storing pre-crushed). Oregano is particularly well-suited to tomato dishes (soups, pizzas, lasagnas, spaghetti sauces, etc), and it’s also a great dipping herb for breads and cheeses. It pairs well with poultry dishes and is delicious sprinkled on salads. You can substitute oregano and marjoram with each other in recipes when necessary, but remember to use less oregano than you would marjoram as oregano is stronger.
As with any herb, you can make a unique jelly using either the flowers or the leaves.

What if some of our health problems stemming from food didn’t come from what we are eating but how we are eating it?
According to the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School), when our minds are distracted while we eat, digestion may become 30 to 40 percent less effective, potentially adding to issues like bloating, gas and irregularities.
There has been new attention paid to the practice of “mindful eating” as a way to alter one’s relationship with food, and potentially improve one’s health.
The Philosophy of Mindful Eating
Mindful eating is the idea of paying complete attention during meals, savoring the bites and flavors and devoting your entire attention to the act.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital describes the practice as being aware of the experience of eating, and “being present, moment by moment, for each sensation that happens during eating, such as chewing, tasting and swallowing.”
The Center for Mindful Eating (CME), a non-profit organization, has created a list of “Principles of Mindful Eating,” which include such factors as acknowledging your reactions of like and dislike to flavors, without judging these responses.
Reflection on the origins of the food and how it was grown and prepared are also emphasized.
According to the CME, through this habit, people who practice mindful eating often “become aware of the interconnection of earth, living beings, and cultural practices and the impact of his/ her food choices has on those systems.”
Learning about when to start and stop eating by becoming more aware of physical cues is another important aspect of mindful eating. It is this factor of the practice that many tie most directly to potential health gains.
Testing the Theory
A study led by Gale Timmerman, Ph.D, from the University of Texas at Austin explored how mindful eating and weight management could be tied.
The six-week study followed 35 women aged 40-59 years who ate in restaurants at least three times a week and divided them into a control group and an intervention group.
It should be noted that the intervention group did have a significantly higher body mass index than the control group at the beginning of the study, but the authors reported no significant differences on daily caloric or fat intakes.
The intervention group attended group sessions twice a week that the authors say “focused on reducing calorie and fat intake when eating out through education, behavior change strategies, and mindful eating meditations.”
These meditations included both focusing closely on the sensations of eating (thought to increase enjoyment and satisfaction with smaller portions) and guided meditations aimed to increase awareness of hunger, eating triggers and the sensation of fullness.
At the end of the six weeks, the intervention group had lost more weight (3.74 pounds on average compared to 0.2 pounds in the control group), lowered their average daily caloric intake by more (357.1 calories on average as compared to 24.2 in the control group) and lowered their average daily fat intake (19.7 grams on average as compared to 4.3 grams in the control group).
Though this study followed a small number of subjects over a relatively short period of time, it did show that practicing mindful eating techniques have potential for improving weight management. More in-depth research is needed before conclusions can be made.
Tips for Mindful Eating
The Brigham and Women’s Hospital recommends a few easy ways to start incorporating mindful eating into your mealtime.
An easy first step is eating sitting down without any distractions, meaning no books, computers, TVs or iPhones. If eating alone, focus instead on the food, and if eating with others, use this distraction-free time to enjoy both the meal and their company.
Tricks like eating with chopsticks or eating with your left hand if you are right-handed (or vice versa) can also help bring focus and awareness back to the task at hand.
Brigham and Women’s recommends taking time to slow down and really chew the food - between 30 and 50 chews per bite of food. This will not only help the digestion process, but also help you really savor the flavors.
Making sure that the meal lasts at least 20 minutes is another way to make yourself slow down and enjoy the experience of food. Try to think about the moment at hand, and when you notice your mind beginning to wander off, simply bring it back to the sensations of eating.
Guided mindful eating exercises can be found online and can be a helpful way to try it out.
Though the tie between mindful eating and improved health and weight loss is still being studied, it is an easy, risk-free method to try. At the very least, perhaps it could lead to a greater enjoyment or appreciation of your meals. | <urn:uuid:b09b7207-a962-42f4-a35a-f1cb131eeccd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://feeds.rxwiki.com/feature-article/mindful-eating-and-weight-loss-connection/ | 2023-09-26T06:56:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.96556 | 999 |

The time switching-based relaying (TSR) scheme is considered in energy harvesting protocol to implement with its advantage to nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. In particular, decode-and-forward (DF) mode is proposed to employ in relay to forward signal to serve two far NOMA users. There are two main metrics including outage probability and ergodic rate, which are derived in exact expressions with respect to varying performance under impacts of energy harvesting fractions. To evaluate system performance, outage event and related capacity are illustrated, and we tailor performance gap among two NOMA users and such gap can be controlled by selecting of appropriate power allocation factors assigned for each user to obtain optimal performance. By examining node arrangement, target rates and varying transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR), it can be further achieved performance in several situations of such NOMA. As important result, the considered NOMA system outperforms than the conventional multiple access scheme, and this expected result is confirmed in numerical result and theoretical results. We also explore impacts of transmit power at source, noise power, the other key parameters of energy harvesting scheme to exhibit outage, and ergodic performance. Simulation results are presented to corroborate the proposed methodology. | <urn:uuid:5bb2a2d9-e97e-47ce-b715-1445730ccc5e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://feee.tdtu.edu.vn/en/publications/2019/impact-fixed-power-allocation-wireless-energy-harvesting-noma-networks | 2023-09-26T05:33:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.930352 | 258 |
Moving from college to your first real job is difficult and often stressful. You may suddenly have to change the way you have been living, your schedule will now match your dad’s and your wardrobe will scream for a change. This transformation will not be easy but it will be a life changing moment for sure.
If you have recently entered the workforce after college (or will soon be) this is the ultimate guide you will need to change your wardrobe and your outlook on life. Ready? Here we go.
Keep fitting a top priority
Before I tell you what all to buy and what to leave behind, let me tell you the ultimate sin of recent graduates. College clothes could be too loose or too tight for comfort. However, when you enter the workforce, you need clothes that make you look smart and give you all day comfort too.
A good fit should be your top priority, no matter which clothes you are buying. Now understand this- a good fit doesn’t mean slipping into spandex each day. A good fit always remains snugly conforming your body shape while giving you ample room to breathe. If your shirt buttons start showing gaps in between after you have had dinner, you probably need to buy a better fit. This is especially true in the case of shirts and suits. Never compromise with the fit.
Forget the trends
When you are finally transition into adult life, you need to focus less on fashion trends and more on timeless styles. Remember, in the beginning of your career, a good impression is extremely important for you. You don’t want to be too colorful or too stylish when it comes to workwear.
You can, of course, experiment with casuals. However, the classics and their updated versions are always better than the latest trends. This is because trends fade out very soon and you cannot afford to look like a broke college student anymore.
Quality is better than quantity
Always remember that you don’t need to have 15 different work clothes. It’s cool if you have them but as a beginner, you can stick to 5 different looks, one for each day of the week. Apart from this, you should have some spare shirts or jackets that you could mix and match for a different look. This helps you in staying fresh while not experimenting with too many clothes.
At first, such styling will look boring but you will eventually realize that it is better to stick to such crisp wardrobe items only. As you move on, start adding more clothes to the wardrobe but always make sure that your clothing item fits more than one look. You don’t too many clothes to look sleek and professionals. Stick to the quality stuff and you will continue looking great.
Get ready for the biggest event in your life. When you first start working, you will find many fashion inspirations from your colleagues too. Keep an eye on what the general rule of dressing is in your new office and dress accordingly. | <urn:uuid:dcc989c8-25ec-4d7e-acb9-51559767815b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://felipedamazzio.com/transform-wardrobe-college-grad-young-professional/ | 2023-09-26T06:52:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.961652 | 604 |
A complaint can be what you have to make because of a situation you are in. Complaints are immanent. Immanence implies to be in something or to dwell; to remain. Perhaps a complaint is what you make because you do not want to remain in a situation; a complaint can be an effort to get out of a situation you are in. You are in the thick of it, right in the thick of it. To be in the thick of it means to be in a situation where it is most intense; it means to be in the most crowded of places. The idiom “in the thick of it” can also reference how much you have to do; it can imply, being occupied or busy. What do we learn from complaint, or about complaint, by considering complaint as intensity, as crowded, as busy?
Complaints might come up or come out in the middle of a journey: a middle can be a muddle. I am muddling through, at this difficult time; thinking about time. If it takes time to make a complaint; it takes time to reach a complaint. When we think of complaint as what you have to reach, we are thinking about different ways that complaints come out as expressions of dissatisfaction with a situation. A complaint might be how you say no to something whether in speech or in writing or even through non-verbal communication; complaints as objecting, calling out, contesting, naming; questioning; and so on.
When a complaint is about something, you first have to admit to something, to recognise something as being wrong, as being something you need to complain about. To admit to something can mean both to confess a truth, and to let it in. A complaint can require opening a door to the truth of a situation; letting it in; letting it sink in. Before you have any conversations with others, you might first have conversations with yourself. A complaint might begin with a sense of something not being quite right; with an uneasy feeling, with discomfort; concern. You might sense something is not right without being sure of yourself. A complaint might begin with being unsure about whether what you are experiencing is something to be complained about.
A Masters student begins her new programme with high hopes and expectations. And then “it started.”
It started I would say in the second or third lesson I had with Prof X. There were certain signs that rang alarm bells for me and my first reaction is stop being paranoid, stop being a feminazi where everything is gendered, you know, you are probably reading too much into this, you need to take a step back. What I started doing was questioning myself first rather that questioning his behaviour.
When an alarm bell rings you are hearing a warning; the sound of a bell announces a danger in the external world even if an alarm bell is what you hear inside your own head. It does not always follow that you take heed of what you hear. And so: she starts questioning herself rather than his behaviour. She recalls how she doubted herself for being alarmed. She tells herself off, even, she gives herself a talking to; she tells herself to stop being paranoid, to stop being a feminazi, to stop being a feminist, perhaps. It is striking how in questioning herself, she also exercises familiar stereotypes of feminists as feminazis, with the implication that gender is a judgement that is imposed upon a situation from the outside. We learn from what is possible: it is possible to identify as a feminist and worry that gender is an imposition. External judgements can be given voice as internal doubt.
It takes time for her to realise that her first impressions were right. Her sense that something was amiss, which was followed at first by telling herself not to be paranoid, is confirmed by what she keeps encountering. She describes how the syllabus was occupied: “he left any thinker who wasn’t a white man essentially until the end of the course.” A syllabus can tell you who is being valued, what is valued; who comes first, who has priority. You can come up against a structure in a syllabus. Many of us are familiar with such structures. Even structures can take time to reveal themselves: “and then by week 5, I was like, no, no, no, no, things are wrong not just in terms of gender, things are desperately wrong with the way he is teaching full-stop.” Perhaps her first reaction is to say no to the bell, no to no. But then she realises she was right to hear that something was wrong; those no’s come out; more of them. I think of those no’s, all four of them, as the sound of an increasing confidence in her own judgement: “it was a progressive realisation that it wasn’t just me being paranoid.” Perhaps once you get a single no out, other no’s will follow.
Sometimes if you have a sense of something wrong, you might check in with others. What did you think of this? Is that what you think? A senior woman, a professor, a head of department experiences misogyny and sexism at a table on an away day. One of the male professors says things that are particularly offensive. She checks in with friends and colleagues. This happened; this is what he said. The responses lead her to doubt herself: “the person who was the main protagonist in the banter; I was told he couldn’t be you must have imagined that because he is married to a real feminist.” You must have imagined that; it can’t be true; it couldn’t be. She knows what happened. External voices can be internalised as doubt. To proceed (and she did, although her complaint was to stall later, after she was placated by a senior manager) she has to put their voices aside, not to believe them. What if the experiences you need to complain about have shaken your confidence? She said: “it does shake you; you think oh am I making a fuss, should I make a fuss. I have already made a massive fuss at my previous institution, which went on for months.” She had participated in a formal complaint in her previous job, at an earlier time, another time, a complaint about sexual harassment that did not get anywhere. If a complaint is stopped it can have a knock on effects on those involved; you can be stopped later, another time.
We carry our complaints with us whether or not we make them.
So many of the people I spoke to made use of this expression, “making a fuss,” as if to complain is to be fussy, to be too particular, demanding even, as if a complaint makes something bigger than it needs to be, as if you are making yourself bigger than you are. But you also might know that that is how you will be judged. You might try and keep the complaint secret in order not to make a fuss. One early career lecturer describes: “I felt frightened to tell other people. I don’t know why. I did feel really frightened. I did not want to kick up a fuss. I didn’t want to make a big scene. I don’t like that anyway. I don’t like to feel that a lot of people would have known what was going on.” You might avoid talking about what you are going through to avoid making a spectacle of yourself. And it is not that you would be wrong: those who complain are often perceived as making a fuss, even making a fuss over nothing. Another early career lecturer was told: “you look like somebody who is causing a fuss.”
Those times you have not been heard: you don’t leave them behind either. One postgraduate student describes: “I would wonder how much is going to be a repetition of not being taken seriously, not being heard.” When you have not been heard, you wonder about the point of speaking out, of expressing yourself. Hearings can be walls, silence can be hard; you have to push very hard to make a complaint if that’s how you have been heard, not heard, if you have not being taken seriously before.
I have learnt from talking to people how ways of speaking and behaving that seem, at one level, obviously problematic can still be justified as how things are or how things are done. An international student, for instance, arrived into a new department only to find professors being intimate and sexual with students in front of staff and other students. No one seemed to be paying any attention, to show any signs of noticing that something was amiss. She said: “I thought at first this must be how they do things in the UK.” Sometimes it is the unremarkability of the behavior, how other people are not remarking upon something, not objecting, or showing signs of objecting, that can make you wonder whether what is happening is not objectionable after all. Leila Whitley and Tiffany Page have noted how the absence of objections to sexual harassment can work “to normalise sexual harassment in the university environment” (2015, 42).
The absence of other complaints can make it hard to recognise there is something to complain about.
This also means that: complaints can be stopped by stopping other complaints.
The work of complaint can also involve an internal process of coming to terms with what you are experiencing. Even if you have to complain about something that is being done to you, whether by somebody else or by a structure that is enabling somebody else, you still have to come to terms with yourself. A complaint can feel like an existential crisis, a life crisis. The conversations you have with others are relayed endlessly as conversations with yourself. I noticed in listening to people’s testimonies how often people when sharing their complaints with me put on “other voices,” so when they told me what the head of human resources said, or what their supervisor said, they would change their voice; it was like I was listening to a chorus. And that is probably because making a complaint can feel like becoming a chorus, all those conversations take up time and space in your head, more and more voices, they become loud; louder still.
I am talking to a postgraduate student based in small progressive university in the US. She is talking about the time it took to get the point where she realised she might have to make a complaint, to decide whether to complain. She is part of the story; she is telling the story. She is a queer woman of colour. She is the first person in her family to go to university. She’s had to fight really hard to get here. She has had to fight really hard to get here. I have repeated that sentence because of how much it matters; because of how it matters. She knows something is not right, she is feeling more and more uncomfortable: he keeps pushing boundaries, wanting to meet off campus, then in coffee shops, then at his house. She tries to handle the situation: “I tried very hard to keep all of the meetings on campus, and to keep the door open.” She keeps the door open; an actual door, at the same time she closes another kind of door, we might call this door the door of consciousness, trying to shut out what he is doing. She describes “I thought I would take myself down by admitting to the kind of violence he was enacting.” To admit can mean to confess a truth but it can also mean to let something in. Take myself down: if to admit to violence makes it real, then to admit to violence can feel like becoming your own killjoy, getting in the way of your own progression.
A closed door can be a handle, how you handle a situation, by which I mean you close a door by not letting it in, the truth of a situation sink in, because letting it in would mean giving something up. But handles can stop working:
I was sitting with another colleague at another lunch another day and he started texting me these naked photos of himself and I think I just hit a critical mass of like, I just can’t handle it anymore. I said just look at this, and she was just like, you know like, completely speechless…. And then like it suddenly started to seep into me, into her, in this shared conversation about like, how horrible and violent that I am having to receive these things, right, and so that basically put a process in motion.
When the handle stops working, the violence directed at her seeps not only into her but into her colleague; into the conversation, into the room in which they are having that conversation. That violence is only witnessed because of this seepage; a complaint is expressed, gets out, at the same time the violence gets in.
A complaint can then feel like an alarming exteriority, what you have to do to get out of a situation, yes, but also what comes at you, what would mean giving up on something you had fought very hard for. For a complaint to get out, something gets in. And I think it is important to remember that the work of complaint (including the work of reaching complaint) is work you are doing when you are still at work, when you are still trying to do your work; you are trying to hold yourself together; you are trying not to fall apart. If some of the work around complaint might seem or feel like internal work (the conversations you have with yourself), complaints often come out at work, in social situations. These points about internality and sociality are related: if you are trying to hold something in and that effort fails, a complaint is expressed; what was kept apart is shared. To express can mean to squeeze something out. The sociality of how complaints are expressed is another way of considering the effects of how complaints are contained.
In another example, an early career woman academic is being sexually harassed by a senior professor, a star professor, mainly through verbal communication. The professor arrived at the same time she did: “he was much older, late 50s, early 60s. It was a big thing in the university, what a coup we have got this extraordinary professor; he was on the side of the angels.” This new professor starts communicating with her in a way that feels increasingly uncomfortable. She does not want to make the situation worse than it is; she describes his behavior as mildly irritating; annoying yes, distracting. His behavior, however mild, is still getting in the way of her being able to do her work. And she wants to do her work:
He made me feel uncomfortable and at the time I didn’t know it was ok to say, please can you give me some personal space, that’s not appropriate. Because I wasn’t saying no, I really didn’t know how to negotiate this. He clearly read that as “all things ago here.” The comments became more overtly sexual to the point where he made this strange comment about wanting to suck my toes, even I, naïve as I was at that point, went, oh shit this is not, this is really, really not ok in the work environment.
She does not know how to tell him to stop, even if what he is doing seems small, perhaps because she feels smaller than him, he is a professor, “on the side of the angels,” no less; she a junior lecturer. Hierarchies can make handling harassment hard, which is how hierarchies enable harassment. But she wants the behavior to stop:
All I wanted at that point was for someone to talk to him and say you need to stop this. Like that’s what needs to happen. So I went to my line manager who was a woman and said this is going on, this is making me feel really uncomfortable, and I don’t know how to handle it, we are in a shared office space and we are often in the office space alone, I just want someone to have a chat with him and say, please don’t continue with this. And she assured me that she would do that. And much later I learnt because she did not want to complain, nothing happened.
She needs assistance to get no out, to say no to the behaviour. The harassment she has to deal with has already seeped in; she doesn’t know how to handle it. She wants it to stop; she wants him to stop. It is her line-manager who sits on the complaint, despite her assurance. A complaint can be stopped because others do not want to pass the complaint on. Passing on a complaint can be making a complaint (“she did not want to complain”), which in itself is telling us something about stoppages, about what does and does not get passed on; passed around.
When an attempt to stop harassment is stopped, the harassment does not stop:
And then I was in a meeting with my line manager and her line manager and we were in this little office space, like a glass fish bowl type meeting room, and then the main office where all the staff desks were and he emailed me and I made a sound, eehhhhh, there’s no way to articulate it, someone’s just dragging your insides like a meat grinder, oh god this is not going to stop, and I made that sound out loud, and my line manager’s line manager said, what’s happened. And I turned my computer around and showed him and he said for fuck’s sake, how stupid do you have to be to put that in an email. You could see a look of panic on her face. Like, crap, this has not magically gone away.
A “yes” can work rather like magic, assurance, she would do that, she did not do that, making a complaint go away, disappear into air, rather like steam: puff, puff. If the complaint was evaporated the harassment “has not magically gone away.” Her complaint comes out in the middle of the meeting, not as an account given by someone to someone, an intentional action, but as a sound, eehhhhh, a gut-wrenching expression of a no, or even a no, not again, or even, enough is enough. That sound, that eehhhhh, pierces the meeting, that meeting taking place in the little glass room, a fishbowl, where they can all be seen. Something can become visible and audible sometimes even despite yourself; a complaint is what comes out because you can’t take it anymore, you just can’t take it anymore, your insides like a meat-grinder; a complaint as how you are turned inside out.
A complaint can be expressed rather like a snap; you hear the sound of something breaking. If that sound sounds sudden, it is because of what you did not hear before, the pressure of what came before. Her sound becomes an alert, leading to a question, what’s happened, what’s up; the sound leads to her turning her computer to him, so he see what she has been sent. A complaint comes out because what she was sent is heard and then seen. And note how the problem once heard is implied to be not so much the harassment but that there was evidence of it (“for fuck’s sake how stupid do you have to be to put that in an email”).
A sound becomes a complaint because it brings to the surface a violence that would otherwise not have to be faced. Violence is often dealt with by not being faced. It is then as if the complaint brings the violence into existence; forcing it to be faced. Perhaps this is how complaints (and complainers) are often heard as forceful. For those who receive the complaint, who hear the sounds she makes, it is the complaint that alerts them to violence, to what she has to face, which means, in a certain way, the complaint can then be treated as the origin of violence. There is a clue there, in that description, her description: how the complainer becomes a problem because of what she does not contain.
A complaint can be what it takes to get through; to pierce the seal, to open the door, to let something in, to get it out. A complaint can be the work you have to do to get violence out. It can be terrifying but necessary.

So, did y’all survive the official start of Season’s Eatings? I mean, Thanksgiving?
I’m happy to report that I’ve survived another year. Now, onto leftovers… It was a 20-pounder bird for only 5 humans and 1 canine this year at Casa Angie. While it was nice that everyone can fit into our dining room, unlike some other years when we were spilling all over different rooms, fewer people also means more leftovers. Quite substantial amount, actually.
What to do?! I’m pretty sure y’all have plenty of ideas. Let’s hear them, please. I need them!
First, something to consider from last week’s fiesta:
“Mollie is a pro at entertaining. She always brings different kinds of food, but it’s the chocolate that I’ll enjoy first. Life is too short – eat dessert first! Mollie’s Chocolate Glazed Tart got my craving started that I almost licked my screen. It looks perfect, from the crust to the pretty whipped-cream topping!” — Jhuls
“This Stunning Chocolate Tart is just perfect for your holiday table. I simply can’t stop thinking about it!” — Jenny
“Very seasonal blondies using ingredients such as candy cane kisses and white chocolate mint M&M’s. Occasionally peppermint can be overpowering and this combination seems just right in this recipe. Leslie has shared a colorful addition for your holiday cookie table.” — Judi
“Bowls of all kinds are very popular right now and I’m just starting to get interested – bought my first cookbook just on “bowls.” Linda has included lots of delicious and healthy ingredients such as quinoa, sweet potato, corn, black beans, spinach, some walnuts and feta cheese. She says to use the dressing of your choice but has used a poppy-seed dressing and a chipotle-lime dressing when she made this bowl.” — Judi
“I love that the crust has basil in it – it must be so tasty! I love sweet tarts, but it is nice to try something savory, too, and Vanitha’s tart is a good recipe to start with.” — Jhuls
Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #251 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net and the co-hosts’ blogs, so we can feature you. Your co-hosts this week are Mollie @ Frugal Hausfrau and Monika @ Everyday Healthy Recipes

Contemporary Palestinian feminist organising: contesting NGO-ization and the rise of "alternative organising"
This thesis explores the intricacies of local Palestinian feminist organising within the broader understanding of Palestinian local feminist knowledge, transnational feminism and the wider political economy. Historically grounded, this research tracks the evolution of the Palestinian feminist movement and its constituent organisations from its formal inauguration in 1929 to present day, but specifically focuses on the contemporary impact of the significant historical shift that occurred in 1993, namely the signing of the Oslo Accords, which led to the NGO-ization boom within Palestinian feminist organisations. In-depth interviews were conducted with current feminist organisation leaders that exposed the complexities and the nuances of how Palestinian feminists organise and mobilise against the backdrop of a militaristic Occupation.
The feminist qualitative research, although exploratory in nature, unraveled some contextually-situated findings. It demonstrated that within the context of Palestinian feminist organising, feminist activists operate in a system of oppression which consists of various forces acting against women in an interlocking system, namely, the Occupation; and social, political and religious ideology. These forces have been, and continue to be, stifling to the organisational efforts of Palestinian women. The system of oppression demonstrates a uniquely historically and politically situated set of forces that are particular to the struggle of Palestinian feminists. The research also demonstrated that there are dominant and alternative forms of feminist organising currently present in the Palestinian feminist space. Palestinian feminist organising is not homogenous and represents nuanced forms of organising that can be explored through what I refer to as the “dominant-alternative spectrum”, which highlights that dominant and alternative forms of organising are not as “radical” in some cases and so they should not be categorised in a rigid, binary manner and that they appear to be alternative in relation to the existing, prevalent ways of organising. The overwhelming majority of Palestinian feminist organising are heavily NGO-ized; as a result of the Oslo Agreements, however, there are signs of alternative organising which have not yet been explored in the literature and may indicate some tidal shifts in the Palestinian feminist space.
Palestinian feminist organising challenges existing literature in Organisation Studies; and unlocks a wealth of untapped knowledge on the "non-profit industrial complex" which operates as a part of the Neo-Imperialist Machine. | <urn:uuid:a05526d0-c352-4e39-84fa-3a28f2a9cf7a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://figshare.mq.edu.au/articles/thesis/Contemporary_Palestinian_feminist_organising_contesting_NGO-ization_and_the_rise_of_alternative_organising_/23622261/1 | 2023-09-26T05:55:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.94034 | 469 |

‘Blocking the Bus’ failed to resolve any conflicts.
Jeonbuk Hyundai lost 1-2 to Pohang Steelers in the 5th round of the Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023 held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 1st.
The atmosphere before the game was not serious. Jeonbuk Hyundai supporters ‘MGB’ declared a cheering boycott, criticizing CEO Heo Byeong-gil and manager Kim Sang-shik for their recent poor performance. As a result, I couldn’t hear any sound of cheering for Jeonbuk in the match against Pohang. The entire stadium was filled with dissatisfied hooks, and Jeonbuk fans only shouted “Get out Heo Byeong-gil!” and “Get Kim Sang-sik out!” 먹튀검증
The results were also the worst. Jeonbuk took the lead in the 16th minute with Ryu Jae-moon’s mid-range shot. There was a chance for an additional goal in the first half, but it was not saved, and in the 12th minute of the second half, Baek Seong-dong allowed an equalizer. Jeonbuk even conceded a come-from-behind goal to Jeka in extra time in the second half, and when the final whistle blew, the stadium was covered with boos.
After the game, Jeonbuk coach Kim Sang-sik said with a firm expression, “It is difficult for Jeonbuk to accept that they lost 3 times in 5 games. I’m sorry I couldn’t give the home fans a win. I will overcome well together with the players.”
Angry Jeonbuk fans all gathered in front of the bus where the coaching staff and players boarded. Fans lined up in a row to block the club’s bus with banners reading ‘Kim Sang-sik exit’. Many people lined up behind the banner, and the bus was quickly surrounded by fans around them.
Director Kim got on the bus around 4:30. The wait has continued since then. Jeonbuk fans demanded that coach Kim get off the bus. Voices were heard from everywhere saying, “I will never get out of the way until coach Kim comes out.”
The confrontation continued, and the fans’ voices grew louder every time the Jeonbuk front desk got on and off the bus. Even the police arrived at the scene. It was confirmed that some of the fans reported it to the police, but there was nothing the police could do to calm the situation.
After about an hour and a half, the bus moved. However, it was not the bus coach Kim rode on, but the team bus in the back. The team’s bus, which was unable to move in the same way and was blocked, left the stadium first after passing by coach Kim’s bus. The fans who blocked the bus also got out of the way to allow the players’ bus to move, then blocked the staff’s bus again.
After a while, coach Kim got off the bus and went back into the stadium. Coach Kim met and talked with CEO Huh, then came out of the stadium and stood in front of the fans. It was confirmed that CEO Huh left the stadium and returned after hearing that the bus was blocked.
Director Kim said, “I’m sorry. I made the fans stay outside until late, but I will show you how to take responsibility.” As Director Kim talked about it, the backlash from the fans intensified. “Then resign,” “Does it make sense for Jeonbuk to win 1?”
There were also dire situations. A fan expressed dissatisfaction with director Kim in a particularly loud voice, and director Kim approached the fan and confronted him. With the front desk’s dissuade, coach Kim returned to the bus, but it was an atmosphere that could lead to a physical collision.
After repeating each other’s stories, the coaching staff, including coach Kim and coach Kim Doo-hyun, got on the bus again, and the team’s bus managed to leave the stadium.
Of course, even in this situation, the anger of the fans did not subside easily. Demands for resignation continued, and some fans even threw water bottles at the staff bus. It was a ‘blocking the bus’ that lasted more than two hours, but the situation was not sealed at all, and rather, the conflict between director Kim and the fans only deepened.
After the bus left, a group of fans who talked with the reporter for a while said, “Simple grades are not the problem. Performance has not changed for years and no one wants to take responsibility for it. The audience continues to dwindle. They always talk about ‘fans’, but they are not communicating with the fans in any way.”
Jeonbuk will play the 6th round against Incheon United at 4:30 pm on the 9th. Given the current situation, it is expected that the cheering boycott will continue on the same day. Also, if they do not win until the game against Incheon, it seems possible to block the 2nd bus. | <urn:uuid:532bd3a8-f29e-418a-ba47-185f10fd5c37> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://financereserve.xyz/a-bloody-blocking-the-bus-for-more-than-2-hours-neither-the-director-nor-the-fans-gained-anything/ | 2023-09-26T05:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.975923 | 1,124 |
The Panzer V Panther tank was a German tank that was well-traveled in World Struggle II. It was utilized in battles in Italy, France, Belgium, and Holland. There have been over 6,000 of those tanks produced and its recognition could have been as a consequence of its spectacular firepower. With a long-barreled, high-powered gun that would hearth six rounds per minute and a storage capability of 79 rounds of 75mm ammunition, this was one opponent you did not wish to make an look on the battlefield.
The tank’s highly effective engine and use of sloped armor to keep up a lighter weight gave it increased effectivity and made the Panzer V Panther a dream when it comes to tank maneuverability. What the sloped armor took away in weight, it gave again in safety. Enemy hearth was much less more likely to penetrate the armor as a result of whereas the armor was solely 80mm-thick, its sloped design meant that a spherical fired on the entrance of the tank would want to penetrate 139 mm of fabric, maintaining the crew inside secure in fight.
Anti-tank mines had been broadly utilized by each side within the battle, and to fight this, the Panzer v Panther tanks had been dressed with a Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine paste that allowed them to navigate into harmful enemy territory. | <urn:uuid:b29b2c93-bbff-43a2-b34c-47b6ebc9d5b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://finasteride24.com/the-ten-most-legendary-tanks-of-ww2-ranked-from-worst-to-finest/ | 2023-09-26T06:34:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.985901 | 274 |

The right tools make all the difference in the world. They save time, energy, and frustration, and make the difference between a “so-so” dish and perfection. So today we’re talking about the must-have kitchen items that every cook or baker needs to have on-hand.
Why do I believe that good tools are so critical?? For starters, the number of times I got my finger instead of the potato with my old vegetable peeler. Or just straight-up avoided grating fresh cheese because it was the WORST with a box grater. Or made rubbery grilled chicken breasts.
BUT NO MORE! Over the years I’ve found what I think are the best kitchen gadgets (and the must-haves) that are foundational to stocking any kitchen. I’m not really getting into big appliances as much, like my stand mixer or large food processor…this is mostly small, more affordable staples.
Absolute must-have kitchen tools
A meat thermometer is critical to getting your meat perfectly done without overcooking it and also without cutting into it constantly (thereby drying it out). It is my forever companion when grilling in particular, and it’s how I made the most amazing grilled chicken breasts.
I use it for bread as well, to make sure the bread is done, avoid a doughy center, and know when the bread is cool enough for slicing.
It’s no secret that I’ve been in love with learning how to mix up delicious cocktails and exploring different mixology flavors and techniques. And I’ve amassed quite a few different gadgets and pretty things that make it easier and more fun.
So if you have a budding home bartender in your life, here are some of the best cocktail gifts and fun gift ideas to inspire, enable, and make them smile!
Make it happen
Every at-home mixologist needs good tools, so if you’re starting with the best cocktail gifts you have to start here.
Cocktail shaker – It seems weirdly hard to find one I like, but this one is practical and beautiful, and has become my go-to shaker. Bonus, it’s a bit bigger than most so it can very easily make 2-4 drinks at a time (DON’T JUDGE).
An all-in-one kit for the beginner – Never a bad thing, if you’re really dealing with a less experienced home bartender then this has everything they’ll need to get started!
I have a deep and abiding love for great coffee. But historically I haven’t had a lot of iced coffee. One here or there, but it wasn’t a habit.
Until the last six months of being at home, when all the sudden I became a total master at making iced coffee at home using my Aeropress.
And I somewhat accidentally discovered my hack for the best iced coffee ever…using sweetened condensed milk. Now it’s not like I’m the first person to ever think of that (in fact, it’s a staple of Thai and Vietnamese coffee and iced tea).
But I had some sweetened condensed milk sitting in my fridge from making a delicious bourbon milk punch cocktail, and wasn’t sure what to do with it. On a whim I decided to use it instead of simple syrup, and realized that it added a lovely rich velvety quality, enough sweetness, and didn’t water down the end result like milk does.
A long, long time ago I posted about the Pioneer Woman’s cold brew iced coffee recipe, and hadn’t really tried anything else until this Aeropress style. It tasted fine enough but not amazing, and was kind of a pain to make, so I just never ended up doing it often.
Just as I was about the publish this post, I found this article on Epicurious that explains why cold brew *doesn’t* give you the best tasting iced coffee, and it finally made sense to me. It creates a more deadened, kind of stale flavor, uses way more coffee beans, and gets oxidized over time. READ THE POST
Anyone who knows me is well aware of my love of good coffee. It’s insanely well-documented (including in a detailed guide to Italy’s coffee and spending a morning exploring a Colombian coffee farm), and a great daily pleasure.
And while I love spending time in local coffee shops, I spend almost every morning sitting on my couch with my kitties…and I need that to include great coffee. So one of the tools in my arsenal is a milk frother that helps me froth milk at home and make delicious cappuccino on my own!
And the thing is, they’re super affordable and easy to use—I highly recommend getting one to up your at-home coffee game! I’ve had a few different ones over the past decade, and these are a few of my all-time favorites.
This one has been a game-changer for me. It was recommended by My Cheese when I visited her in L.A. last year, and I loved how easy it is to use! My milk steams and froths in less than 30 seconds with a great foam texture, and it’s super easy to clean (which is a major bonus). | <urn:uuid:b321449f-9d5e-4ef4-b6a4-dad129437073> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://findingtimeforcooking.com/kitchen-gear/ | 2023-09-26T06:09:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.949604 | 1,132 |

The growing global concern for the ecology, resulting in the worldwide ban on the production of the principal halogenated fire suppressants, has stimulated extensive research of new, environmentally acceptable substances. However, it has evidently been very difficult to create a chemical agent that meets all the desirable, and often contradictory, properties.
An ideal agent naturally must be highly effective at ignition and flame suppression, yet also be environmentally friendly, stable, and non-toxic for humans during and after application.
Fire prevention and control has long dealt with the familiar fire “triangle” consisting of heat, fuel, and oxygen, all three of which are required to initiate and support combustion.
It is also well established that nitrogen, constituting 79% of atmospheric air, can significantly influence combustion. Nitrogen molecules at common flame temperatures (lower than 1100 C) do not return the absorbed thermal radiation. Rather, it is continuously removed from the combustion zone by the convection process. Because of this, an increase of Nitrogen concentration in the air causes a mass – proportional increase in the total loss of emitted thermal energy, which inhibits combustion. Furthermore, increasing the nitrogen content in the gaseous mixture affects its molecular kinetic properties, reducing the availability of oxygen molecules for combustion.
The invention of FirePASS® is based on a discovery made during research conducted in the Hypoxic Room System manufactured by Hypoxico Inc. (www.hypoxico.eu) in New York. It was discovered that the processes of ignition and combustion in a normobaric, hypoxic environment are far different from the ignition and combustion process that occurs in a hypobaric natural altitude environment with the same partial pressure of oxygen (ie up a mountain).
For example, air with a 4.51″ (114.5 mm of mercury) partial pressure of oxygen at an altitude of 9,000’ (2700 m) can easily support the burning of a candle or the ignition of paper. However, if a corresponding normobaric environment is created with the same partial pressure of oxygen (4.51” or 114.5 mm of mercury), a candle will not burn and paper will not ignite. Even a match will be instantly extinguished after the depletion of the oxygen-carrying chemicals on its tip. Consequently, any fire that is introduced into this breathable normobaric, hypoxic atmosphere is instantly extinguished. Kerosene fuel, gas lighter or propane gas torch will not ignite in this environment either.
This surprising observation leads to an obvious question: “Why do two environments which contain identical partial pressures of oxygen (ie the same number of oxygen molecules per specific volume) affect the processes of ignition and combustion so differently?”
The answer is simple: “The difference in oxygen concentration in these two environments diminishes the availability of oxygen to support combustion. This happens due to the increased number of nitrogen molecules interfering with the kinetic properties of oxygen molecules”. In other words, the increased density of nitrogen molecules in the normobaric environment creates a “buffer zone” that obstructs the availability of oxygen molecules for combustion. When the kinetic properties of both gases are compared it is revealed that nitrogen molecules are both slower and have a lower penetration rate (by a factor of 2.5) than oxygen molecules.
Figure 1 presents a schematic view of the density of oxygen and nitrogen molecules in a hypobaric or natural environment at an altitude of 9,000’ or 2.7 km. (All other atmospheric gases are disregarded in order to simplify the following explanations). Blue circles represent oxygen molecules, and green circles represent nitrogen molecules.
Figure 2 shows the density of molecules in a hypoxic environment with the same partial pressure of oxygen (4.51” or 114.5 mm of mercury), but at a standard atmospheric pressure of 760 mm of mercury. This environment contains approximately 15% of oxygen by volume, which is perfectly suitable for human life, but is not sufficient to support combustion.
As can be seen, both environments contain identical amounts of oxygen molecules per specific volume. However, the relative amount of nitrogen molecules versus oxygen molecules is approximately 6:1 in the second case (Figure 2) compare to 4:1 in the altitude air (Figure 1).
Figure 3 shows ambient air at sea level with the greater partial pressure (159.16 mm of mercury) of oxygen than in the air found at an altitude of 9,000’ or 2.7 km (114.5 mm). It should be noted that ambient air in any portion of the Earth’s atmosphere (from sea level to the top Mount Everest) has an oxygen concentration of 20.94% by volume. However, the ambient air at sea level is under a substantially higher pressure: As the number of gas molecules per specific volume increases, so the distance between the gas molecules is reduced, and the availability of oxygen to support combustion is unaffected.
Specialists of FirePASS Corporation discovered and studied the phenomenon of Ignition Suppression and Flame Extinction in the normobaric environment of breathable hypoxic (oxygen-reduced) air. Practical application of these studies resulted in developing and patenting of the Fire Prevention And Suppression System (FirePASS®).
FirePASS® satisfies all critically important properties, as required to Halon 1301 alternatives, such as:
- fire suppression efficiency;
- reignition prevention
- ozone depletion potential;
- global warming potential;
- atmospheric lifetime;
- suppressant residue level;
- electrical conductivity;
- corrosivity to metals;
- polymeric materials compatibility;
- stability under long-term storage;
- toxicity of the chemical and its combustion and decomposition products;
- speed of dispersion;
- safety and occupational health requirements.
Common flammable solid materials and liquids cannot be ignited in environments with an oxygen content lower than 16% at normal (sea level) barometric pressure. However, humans can easily tolerate an oxygen-reduced atmosphere with 12 – 16% O2 (instead of ambient 20.94% O2) without health hazard (click here for references).
In order to better illustrate the differences between the functions of the two oxygen dependent systems, the flame and the human body, we can look to the schematic diagram, the “oxygen – hemoglobin saturation curve and flame extinction curve in normobaric hypoxic environment”.
The red curve represents the decline in combustion intensity. This corresponds to the height of the stable flame and is dependent upon oxygen content in experimental environment. 100 % corresponds to the maximum flame height at ambient atmospheric oxygen content of 20.94%. Below 18% of O2 we see the continuing linear decline in height.
The blue curve shows the dependence of the oxy-hemoglobin saturation upon the partial pressure of oxygen in inspired air. Because the curve rises quickly with increase of oxygen percent, hemoglobin will be more than 90% saturated if exposed to alveolar pO2 above 60 mm.Hg (corresponds to altitude 3300 m. and 14% O2 in the normobaric hypoxic air). It should be noted that only the partial pressure of the oxygen determines hemoglobin saturation in the capillaries of alveoli. All subsequent oxygen transportation and metabolism depends exclusively upon the balance between oxygen demand and availability via the cardio-vascular system. The partial pressure of neutral diluting gases has no influence on these physiological processes at sea level conditions. In contrast, availability and reactivity of oxygen in the combustion process depends significantly upon the molecular concentrations of other, even inert, diluting gases.
The affinity of O2 to hemoglobin depends only on its partial pressure, while the kinetic of combustion depends on the proportion of oxygen in the gas mixture. (References)
Creating such a low-oxygen (hypoxic) breathable atmosphere inside a human-occupied environment will completely prevent both ignition and combustion, thus eliminating the hazard of fires even starting. On the other hand, the hypoxic air being instantly released from a pressurized container, or delivered via piping, into a normally ventilated building will any extinguish fire in the occupied confinement in a short time, simultaneously evacuating combustion gases and providing breathable atmosphere for entrapped people.

Methods : In 3, 11-to 14-d confinements a total of 22 subjects were exposed to different levels of normobaric hypoxia (13,14 and 15 kPa O2), with intervening periods of normoxia. In each experiment eight subjects were divided into two teams, working in 6-h shifts around the clock. Subjects performed tests of spatial orientation, visual reaction time, parallel processing and motor skills. Performance tests and questionnaires were administered once or twice in every 24-h period.
Results : All of the subjects appeared to tolerate the acute reduction in oxygen partial pressure well. In many of the tests performance improved with time as a result of learning, despite reductions in oxygen level. No reduction in performance or decrease in rate of learning was observed at any of the oxygen levels tested.
Conclusions : Oxygen levels down to 14 kPa (corresponds to 13,3 % O2 in normobaric hypoxic air) appear not to impair visual and motor performance during test.

EFFECTS OF HYPOXIA
The rate of pulmonary ventilation ordinarily does not increase significantly until one has ascended to about 8000 feet. At this height the arterial oxygen saturation has fallen to approximately 93 percent, at which level the chemoreceptors respond significantly. Above 8000 feet the chemoreceptor stimulatory mechanism progressively increases the ventilation until one reaches approximately 16,000 to 20,000 feet, at which altitude the ventilation has reached a maximum of approximately 65 percent above normal if the person is exposed only acutely to the high altitude. (But several days of exposure increases ventilation about 300 percent.).
ACCLIMATIZATION TO LOW PO2
A person remaining at high altitude [or lower oxygen levels] for days, weeks or years gradually becomes acclimatized to the low PO2 so that it causes fewer and fewer deleterious effects on the body and also so that it becomes possible for the person to work harder or to ascend to still higher altitudes…
Increased Pulmonary Ventilation. On immediate exposure to low PO2, the hypoxic stimulation of the chemoreceptors increases alveolar ventilation to a maximum of about 65 percent. This is an immediate compensation for the high altitude, and it alone allows the person to rise several thousand feet higher than would be possible without the increased ventilation. Then, if the person remains at a very high altitude for several days, the ventilation gradually increases to as much as 3 to 7 times normal. The basic cause of this gradual increase is the following: The immediate 65 percent increase in pulmonary ventilation on rising to a high altitude blows off large quantities of carbon dioxide, reducing the PO2 and increasing the pH of the body fluids. Both of these changes inhibit the respiratory center and thereby oppose the stimulation by the hypoxia. However, during the ensuing two to five days, this inhibition fades away, allowing the respiratory center now to respond with full force to the chemoreceptor stimuli resulting from hypoxia, and the ventilation increases to about 3 to 7 times normal. The cause of this fading inhibition is unknown, but there is some evidence that it results from reduced CSF bicarbonate ion and perhaps also reduced brain tissue bicarbonate ion. These changes, in turn, increase the pH in the fluids surrounding the chemosensitive neurons of the respiratory center, thus increasing the activity of the center…
Rise in Hemoglobin During Acclimatization. Hypoxia is the principal stimulus for causing an increase in red blood cell production. Ordinarily, in full acclimatization to low oxygen the hematocrit rises from a normal value of 40 to 45 to an average of 60 to 65, with an average increase in hemoglobin concentration from a normal of 15 gm. per cent to about 22 gm. per cent. In addition, the blood volume also increases, often by as much as 20 to 30 per cent, resulting in a total increase in circulating hemoglobin of as much as 50 to 90 per cent. Unfortunately, this increase in hemoglobin and blood volume is a slow one, having almost no effect until after two to three weeks, reaching half development in a month or so, and becoming fully developed only after many months. Decreased Affinity of the Hemoglobin for Oxygen Under Hypoxic Conditions. Within a few hours after the blood is first exposed to hypoxia at high altitudes, increased quantities of phosphate compounds are formed inside the red blood cells, and some of these combine with the hemoglobin to decrease its affinity for oxygen, that is, to shift the hemoglobin-oxygen saturation curve toward higher PO2s… One of these, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, commonly called 2.3-DPG, is especially significant. Because of the reduced affinity for oxygen. the hemoglobin delivers the oxygen to the tissue cells at a higher PO2. At altitudes up to about 15,000 feet this effect increases oxygen delivery as much as 10 to 20 per cent. But at still higher altitudes the decreased affinity for oxygen also decreases the pickup of oxygen by the hemoglobin in the lungs, and therefore it decreases the overall availability of oxygen to tissues, which is more harmful than the increased tendency for oxygen release by the hemoglobin at tissue level is helpful.
Increased Diffusing Capacity During Acclimatization. It will be recalled that the normal diffusing capacity for oxygen through the pulmonary membrane is approximately 21 mi. per mm. Hg pressure gradient per minute and this diffusing capacity can increase as much as three-fold during exercise. A similar increase in diffusing capacity occurs at high altitude. Part of the increase probably results from greatly increased pulmonary capillary blood volume, which extends the capillaries and increases the surface through which oxygen can diffuse into the blood. Another part results from an increase in lung volume, which expands the surface area of the alveolar membrane. A final part results from an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure; this forces blood into greater numbers of alveolar capillaries than normally—especially in the upper parts of the lungs, which are poorly perfused under usual conditions.
The Circulatory System in Acclimatization Increased Vascularity. The cardiac output increases as much as 20 to 30 per cent immediately after a person ascends to a high altitude, but it usually falls back to normal within a few days. In the meantime, though, the blood flow through certain organs, such the skin and kidneys, decreases, while the flow through the muscles, heart, brain, and other organs that normally require large quantities of oxygen increases. Furthermore, histological studies of animals that have been exposed to low oxygen levels for months or years show greatly increased vascularity (increased numbers and sizes of capillaries) of the hypoxic tissues. This helps to explain what happens to the 20 to 30 per cent increase in blood volume and it means that the blood comes into much closer contact with the tissue cells than normally.
Cellular Acclimatization. In animals native to altitudes of 13,000 to 17,000 feet, mitochondria and certain cellular oxidative enzyme systems are more plentiful than in sea level inhabitants. Therefore, it is presumed that acclimatized human beings as well as these animals can utilize oxygen more effectively than can their sea level counterparts. | <urn:uuid:433c07fd-80eb-4741-a2eb-4484780e2fe9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://firepass.com/firepass-concept/firepass-science | 2023-09-26T06:18:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.919598 | 3,284 |
Q: Front Clip Removeal
Can anyone give me a qick summary or secrets (hidden bolts) to removing entire front clip from my ’67. I have removed the bumper and radiator thus far. I would like to keep front end in as few pieces as possible for ease of re- assembly.
A: I would advise against one piece front clip removal mainly for alignment reasons… and the potential for bending, scratching, or otherwise strangely stressing your fenders and core support (not to mention it is really akward). However, I believe it would be possible to do (you know how you always see’em in swapmeets and junkyards and all… but those parts are not always in the best of shape either.
All that holds the ‘front clip’ on is the two bolts from the core support to the front of the subframe, one bolt on each side under the fender (down underneath going upward), and the two bolts on each side by the hood hinges to the cowl section (one on top going down and one pointed back into the ‘firewall’). There will be shims around all of these bolts that were used for alignment. Remember where they go. With LOTS of practice you can learn to fix bad alignments as few GM cars are put together perfect. But, once it is done right it makes all the difference!
Although I don’t know why you want to do this removal, if your clip has not been apart before it might not be a bad idea to take it appart piece by piece so that you can clean, remove and treat rust that is hidden and protect (paint) things that are not usually accessable.
A: Sorry about the last note. When you sais “bumper” and “radiator”, the “front clip” part didn’t register.
As far as the front clip, he had some good points. The main thing to need to remember if you want to remove the front clip is to properly document what bolt and shims go where. Buy a box of re-sealable bags and as you remove them, mar them like “passenger side – top of fender at back of hood”. put the bolt and shims in the bag and place it where you can find it later. Do this with each bolt you remove. When the car goes back together, all the proper alignment pieces will be there.
As far as hidden bolts, inside the fender wells you’ll find three that attach it to a bracket on the inside. I usually try to remove this bracket entirely to get it out of the way. Once you’ve done this and the other obvious bolts, remove the front tires to get them out of the way, too.
Get a buddy and CAREFULLY start to remove the clip. Try not to twist it because the only thing holding it together will be the radiator support.
When you go to reassemble the car, start with the doors and get them even and straight. then align the fenders to the doors. I hope this helps.
A: I just removed mine from my 69. I don’t know hoe different it is but from what I’ve seen it very similar.
Remove the air dam
Remove the A/C baffles (If applicible)
Un-plug the headlights
Remove the bolts that attach the support bracket to the front of the fenders.
Look between the radiator support and the bumper support. The bumper support bolts to the frame horns (the pieces that curve up from the frame) in three locations and possible to a couple of places on the valance panel. Remove these bolts and the bumper assembly will come off.

Chief Justice Roberts has transferred about a dozen ethics complaints that members of the public made about then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Denver-based Tenth Circuit.
The complaints stem from Kavanaugh’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month, which some opponents have claimed was untruthful.
These complaints raise the larger issue of whether a judge can be reprimanded for actions taken outside the courtroom.
The answer, of course, is “yes,” though in this case, given that Kavanaugh is now a Supreme Court justice, there is no recourse or reprimand for him, save the high bar of impeachment (and we don’t know of anyone who seriously wants to go down that road given all the other pressing issues before the House). Thus the Tenth Circuit is likely to drop the complaints.
Hopefully, the bipartisan Judiciary ROOM Act, which passed by voice vote out of the House Judiciary Committee on Sept. 13 and includes a measure that would compel the Supreme Court to promulgate its own ethics code, becomes law in the lame duck, and the ongoing confusion over judges and justices’ ethical obligations becomes a relic. | <urn:uuid:b81fc795-0f49-484b-bd46-337f6821b8af> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fixthecourt.com/2018/10/tenth-circuit-likely-follow-letter-law-meaning-ethics-complaints-kavanaugh-tossed/ | 2023-09-26T05:20:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.955656 | 231 |

Minimizing Bear Incidents in Residential SubdivisionsOctober 16, 2018
It has been illegal in California since 2000 to test on animals where there is an appropriate alternative method available. But the California Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act (SB 1249) would go one step further by banning the sale of cosmetics and personal hygiene products that were tested on animals outside of the state. The state legislature has passed the bill, but it still needs to be signed into law by the governor. The law would take effect on January 1, 2020, and would be the first of its kind in the United States.
Advocates argue that the law would not only save animal lives but would also make cosmetics safer because alternative testing techniques, such as engineered 3-D human tissues or sophisticated computer models, provide more accurate (not to mention faster and cheaper) results. Moreover, a similar law has been successfully implemented in the European Union for more than five years.
UPDATE: California Governor Jerry Brown has signed the bill into law.

Reducing Interactions Between Humans and Bears—Another Hunt is Not the AnswerJune 9, 2023
Understanding the Legal Framework for Bison Management in Yellowstone National ParkJune 9, 2023
By Debbie Garcia-Bengochea, Education Director, Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses
The Animal Law Section will be honoring little therapy horse, Magic, with the Rikki Mitchell Animal Achievement Award on June 23, 2023, at The Florida Bar Annual Convention at The Boca Raton in Boca Raton, Florida. Rikki Mitchell was a golden retriever who worked as a therapy dog in hospital and courtroom settings.
Magic was on the team called in to comfort survivors and first responders immediately after the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut; at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina; and at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. She also helped young tornado survivors of Moore, Oklahoma, who had been trapped in their schools; victims of fires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee; families in the aftermath of hurricanes; and families and first responders after the condominium collapse in Surfside, Florida.
In the medical setting, Magic has visited thousands of patients in children’s and veterans’ hospitals across the country. She works with medical professionals in oncology units and intensive care units, and with occupational, speech, and physical therapists as part of the treatment for patients who have suffered strokes, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, and burns.
Working indoors would be a challenge for any horse, but Magic makes it look easy, even in high-rise hospital buildings, hotels, and television stations. She walks up and down steps, rides in elevators, walks on unusual floor surfaces, carefully moves around hospital and television studio equipment, works in small hospital rooms, and stays calm around unexpected sounds like ambulances, alarms, and hospital helicopters. And, yes, she is house trained.
Magic has visited Congress in Washington, D.C., Arlington National Cemetery, and the 911 Memorial in New York City. She helped teach a class at Columbia Medical School and has been on the concert stage in Nashville, Tennessee. Magic even “danced” in The Magic of the Nutcracker on stage with the Dance Alive National Ballet in a special performance for children from the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind.
Magic, also known as Officer Magic, is an official police officer with the Ocala Police Department. She was sworn in by the chief of police and wears her uniform scrim when she is on duty. Officer Magic has attended Police Week in Washington, D.C., comforted children who have lost a parent in the line of duty, encourages her fellow officers and staff (including 9-1-1 operators), and helps with community outreach programs in schools.
Magic was selected as one of “History’s 10 Most Courageous Animals” by TIME magazine, as the “Most Heroic Pet in America” by AARP, and as a “Power of One Hero” by Reader’s Digest. She received the American Red Cross “A Hero Among Us” Outstanding Service Award, the E.T. York Distinguished Service Award, the
Haven Hospice “Volunteer of the Year” Service Award, the Shining World Award, the Ronald McDonald House “Caring and Sharing” Award, and was the Florida Veterinary Medical Association “Pet Hero of the Year.” Magic is in the American Veterinary Medical Association Hall of Fame and the United States Equestrian Federation/Equus Foundation Horse Stars Hall of Fame. She received a Certificate of Senate Recognition, with a flag flown over U.S. Capitol in her honor, and a bronze plaque on the Walk of Champions. Magic has been featured in many books, including The Book of Heroes by National Geographic, Animal Superheroes by Scholastic Books, Heroic Animals by Hodder & Stoughton Publishers UK, and Mini Horse, Mighty Hope by Revell Publishing. She was filmed by Facebook for Facebook Stories and is a Breyer Portrait Model Horse.
A documentary film about Magic called Hero Horse: A Magical True Story premiered in December. Magic arrived to the premiere in a limousine to walk the red carpet in her tuxedo. The film is now an official selection at The Manhattan Film Festival in New York City, where Magic will walk the red carpet again in June before attending The Florida Bar Annual Convention.
Magic is a member of Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses, a multiple award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity based in Ocala, Florida, celebrating twenty-six years of service in 2023. The team of Gentle Carousel horses bring their special love to thousands of adults and children each year. Individual therapy horses, including Magic, work no more than two days a week and live a very natural life with their equine companions in a lifelong herd.

Kommando Otl Aicher is Alexander Negrelli’s study of the 1972 Olympic Games through the prism of corporate and terrorist visual identities.
This stunning book interweaves the development of European graphic design culture with the history of the Middle East conflict and the politicisation of the Olympic spectacle, showing how Germany’s design supremo Otl Aicher’s credo of using visual means to change society for the better encountered the anonymously-generated and effective imagery of the Palestinian freedom fighters who took hostage and killed athletes during the Munich games that year.
Negrelli details the brief given to Aicher of recasting the German identity 36 years after the Berlin Olympics were derailed by the Nazis; the use of black and red was prohibited, for example. Instead pastels were used, even for police leisurewear, and the spiral symbol of Munich was foregrounded as the primary logotype to eradicate any memories of the swastika. Lower case was used throughout and Aicher commissioned the lexicon of pictograms which represented – as Negrelli notes – “a huge step in non-verbal communication”.
Aicher himself had been jailed by the Nazis for refusing to join the Hitler Youth and after the war helped found the important School Of Design in his hometown of Ulm. This carried on the work of the Bauhaus under the direction of architect Max Bill and is best known for the rationalist product designs of electrical goods manufacturer Braun.
Negrelli points out that the era of the 72 Games coincided with the closure of Ulm School, marking the fading of a Modernity which “defined social relations by formal categories. A Modernity which was already classical, so could no longer be avant-garde”.
In contrast, the visual language of the terrorists was radical not just in terms of its violence but also in relation to questions of image and identity, writes Negrelli: “Juxtaposed to the grid of the official image of the Olympic Games was the irregular one of guerilla war – flexible, efficient and more modern.”
In Kommando Otl Aicher, Negrelli has produced a quizzical, arresting document. As befits this inventive visual artist, it is also a design treat. I recommend it highly.
Negrelli’s site is here; he has also posted a series of entertaining and informative Youtube clips explaining aspects of the book. Here is the first, providing a general overview:
Kommando Otl Aicher is published by Maastricht’s Jan van Eyck Academie and is available to order here.

More than ever before, today companies, organisations and internet users in general have to defend their IT systems from hacker attacks in order to safeguards their data and documents. But, what is the best choice? In this post we will explain the advantages of a webfilter compared to a firewall appliance both for homeowners and companies
Webfilter: the ideal solution for today’s dynamic world
Traditionally, companies and organisations have used physical tools – the so-called Firewall Appliances – with a double aim:
» defending their networks from cyber attacks and avoiding to have their data and documents stolen;
» blocking access to undesired contents: for both homeowners and companies this can mean not only adult content but also platforms that decrease the level of attention of their pupils or the level of efficiency of their employees. Such websites include social networks, online shopping sites and the websites of competitors or websites dedicated to the search for a new job.
Firewall Appliances create an actual “wall” between the laptops and the Internet network. But how exactly does a firewall appliance work?
How does a firewall appliance work?
The firewall is a physical checkpoint inserted between the internet network and the network of laptops inside a company or house. Companies and home owners must therefore purchase additional hardware, install it and carry out the necessary maintenance. Once it is up and working, the firewall blocks the flow of data towards websites that, according to the information available to it at that specific time, are considered dangerous.
The firewall then scans all the incoming and outgoing information in order to highlight possible threats. When signs of a threat appear, the firewall blocks the flow of data towards/coming from the implicated website and the user will be shown an alert message.

The advantages of a Webfilter
Today, companies can decide for an alternative solution: the webfilter. The webfilter is a DNS Internet filter that has the same aims as a firewall but comes with several advatages.
First of all, you can enjoy the protection given by a webfilter with no need to purchase any additional hardware. This means saving not only on base costs but also on the costs of maintenance. Moreover, given how fast technology is changing today, companies might have to change/update their tools frequently in order to ensure the webfilter appliance keep working. And this implies using time and other resources.
A webfilter is entirely cloud-based: protect your company with no need to purchase any additional hardware.
FlashStart Webfilter: the protection for all types of tools
FlashStart offers an innovative webfilter solutions, suitable for all kinds of devices. The FlashStart cloud webfilter is indeed available in two versions:
» At the router level: the filter is installed at the router level inside the company or house. In this way, all the devices connected to the net are automatically protected.
» As end-point application: the filter is installed directly on the device through the ClientShield app. This solution is very useful for companies that exploit the possibility of remote work or where the employees are often outside company premises. Indeed, each device will be protected individually, wherever it is.
>> FlashStart is the webfilter provided in 109countries ? Try it now.
FlashStart Webfilter: a constantly updated protection
Webfilters work through deny lists (also known as blacklists): these are lists that include the details of all the websites that shall be blocked. The FlashStart cloud webfilter counts more than 18 categories of deny lists, which go from malware&threats, to porn, to advertisements and audio and video content.
For more information about the FlashStart deny and access lists please have a look at our dedicated article.
The deny lists are constantly updated:
» Every day, FlashStart scans the Internet for new threats and/or new versions of old threats.
» When a threat is highlighted, it is analysed using a mix of algorithms and human skills.
» The non-compliant website is then added to one of the existing deny lists and, automatically, the cloud gets updated.
» Users can safely navigate online in protected mode: they don’t have to download any kind of update and will not notice any change.
>> FlashStart is the webfilter chosen by over 600 resellers and partners ? Try it now.
FlashStart Webfilter: the flexible protection
FlshStart allows you to decide what protection level you want to set:
» Basic protection, granted to all the devices where the FlashStart cloud DNS filter is active, automatically protects from the main threats, such as malware, trojans, worms and phishing attempts;
» Service administrators can then decide to activate higher protection levels.
Moreover, it is difficult to disable FlashStart: the user needs a specific key, which is provided only to the service administrator/provider. But don’t worry: FlashStart grants almost zero latency and the users of your network will want to keep it going at all times.
>> FlashStart is the webfilter that protects over 20 million users ? Try it now.
FlashStart Webfilter: fully customizable protection
The FlashStart cloud webfilter is totally customizable so as to satisfy the needs of companies, organizations and home owners. For example:
» Do you find social networks to be a source of distraction for your employees or your children? You can block access to social networks during work or study hours and allow it during the lunch break or in the evening
? The FlashStart cloud webfilter allows you to set up block during specified time intervals!
» Having the possibility to access online shopping websites, such as Amazon, is very tempting and risks decreasing the efficiency of your employees. At the same time, though, it might be a necessity for the employees working in specific company departments, such as the purchasing department. You can set up FlashStart so as to allow access to these websites only for some users.
? The FlashStart DNS filter makes it possible to set up different rules for different users’ groups.
For more information about the customization obìptions of the FlashStart webfilter please have a look at our dedicated article.

Coming soon: FlashStart hybrid – the innovative solution towards the future
FlashStart is about to launch FlashStart Hybrid, a new, hybrid technology. Until the end of 2021, Hybrid will be available only in the Italian market, but FlashStart is working on a version to distribute the system also abroad.
Hybrid combines the experience of FlashStart in the two sectors:
» the firewall sector, which was FlashStart initiali product, the one that the company launched in 2003
» and that of the webfilter, which is the market that FlashStart approached in 2010 and where it became well-known, to the point that today the FlashStart DNS filter is distributed in 109 countries all over the world and has servers in Milan, Frankfurt, and South Africa.
The result is a new solution that is easy to integrate with the systems that are already in use by the company, that grants a complete firewall protection and allows service administrators to filter and block dangerous or undesired contents.

A member of the ImagineIF Libraries Board of Trustees has indicated her desire to remove provisions in the library’s “Fair Treatment” policy that expressly resist censorship.
At the Board’s June 22 meeting, Trustee Carmen Cuthbertson led a discussion on creating a comprehensive policy manual that would include renaming and revising the policies. Cuthbertson told the board she took particular issue with a section of the policy that states: “Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.”
“I think telling us that we need to go out there and get into the fray on some free speech activities of other groups is not at all within the scope of our mission,” Cuthbertson said during the meeting.
A year ago, Cuthbertson’s appointment to the ImagineIF board touched off a controversy that led to another trustee’s resignation. Prior to her appointment, Cuthbertson had been a vocal attendee at trustee meetings, routinely offering public comment. She was also the main proponent for removing the book “Gender Queer” from the library’s collection after filing a book challenge.
Policy discussions among the ImagineIF trustees have skewed in a more conservative direction in recent years as a succession of new additions to the five-member board shifted the majority. Previous workshops to rewrite policies have led to the board renouncing the library’s relationship with the American Library Association (ALA) and resulted in clashes over the definition of censorship.
Board chair Doug Adams has also advocated for substantially altering the Fair Treatment policy, which was mostly recently revised in 2022 when references to the ALA were removed. The policy currently opens as follows:
“The Library Board of Trustees affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their successes. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded solely because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.
Adams responded that removing or rewriting a policy would need to be done by the policy committee, with recommendations brought back to the board for consideration.
During the previous discussions to amend the Fair Treatment policy, Adams indicated he wanted to remove sections I and II, a revision that would allow the board to act without risks of violating their own policies. He has also recommended removing wording around censorship from board policies, which would give the board latitude to remove controversial books such as “Gender Queer,” a graphic novel with a transgender protagonist that was a flashpoint for the trustees in 2021 following Cuthbertson’s request for its removal. Cuthbertson was subsequently appointed to the board by the Flathead County Commission.
Former ImagineIF Assistant Director Sean Anderson, who was often a vocal opponent of Adams and the board’s majority during policy discussions, strongly advocated against anything but a “full-throated defiance of censorship” in written policies.
Two days after the trustee meeting, the Flathead County Republicans sent out an email encouraging members to attend the ImagineIF policy committee meeting on July 5, with “special attention” to the fair treatment policy, of which they quoted the introduction with a call to share thoughts and concerns.
The local Republican organization has previously been outspoken about the makeup of the library board, including sending out a “call to action” last year to support Cuthbertson’s appointment to the historically nonpartisan board.
The policy committee will meet on July 5 at 11 a.m. in the downstairs meeting room of the Kalispell library branch.

There are different elemental factors like dry rot and termites that can compromise the structural integrity of your foundation joists, when you notice this compromise and the joist is still intact, you can simply place a new joist alongside construction adhesive and lag bolts.
When the joist has completely lost its structural support, it has to be removed and replaced. If you are wondering how difficult is it to replace floor joists, but the right answer can only be given by the person undertaking the job.
If you want to know how difficult it is to replace floor joists, then here we go.
Replacing floor joist involves shoring up the floor, to finding the replacement joist, detaching and prying the old joist, then installing the new joist. Replacing a floor joist requires protective gear, some experience with carpentry tools, and the ability to work in a limited space area where your movement is restricted.

There are different signs of a joist problem but the easiest way to tell is by simply walking across the floor. If when walking across the floor you can feel one area of the floor sagging or even bowing upward, then it could be a joist problem.
If you find it hard to determine if the floor dips or bows, you can set a marble or a small ball on the floor near one corner of the room, If the floor dips, the ball should roll to the lower area but If you suspect the floor bows, place the ball in the suspected high spot and see if it rolls away.
Carry out this test from different areas of the room and even in adjacent rooms for comparison to make sure the results are accurate.
This test works best on some particular type of floor surfaces like wood and smooth floors, but it might be hard for the ball or marble to roll through thick carpet.
In this case, you can make use of a carpenter’s level set and place it on the floor in various locations to help indicate whether the floor is completely flat.
There are severe causes of a compromised joist and they include Severe termite problems, fire, or flooding incidents.
If you just faced any of such situation, try to inspect the joists even if there seems to be no problem and the floor above them seems level and undamaged.
Inspecting Your Joists For Issues
To determine if the floor joist needs to be replaced or repaired you just need to take a good look at it. To see the joists without having to rip up the floor, you may need to access them through a crawlspace or an unfinished basement.
Check the floor joists beneath the area where you noticed the sagging or bowing of the floor for any signs of damage. Issues like Severe water damage, insect damage, rot, twisting, and splintering are all great indicators that a floor joist should be replaced.
Also cause of a floor joist losing its structural integrity is If the joist has been cut or drilled improperly to run wires, pipes, or ducts beneath the floor.
If you can seem to determine if you need to replace or repair the affected joist, you can seek the opinion of a carpenter experienced in joist projects and have them look at the situation. This may cost you anywhere around $100 for the assessment.
If you think that the problem is arising from multiple joists or you feel that there might be a problem with the foundation, you can hire a structural engineer instead. They will be able to catch issues that you would be able to like rotten joists, faulty support beams, or foundation issues.
To get an engineer’s opinion you may spend about ut $300 to $700 for the assessment, or approximately $100 to $150 per hour.
Shoring Up The Floor
If the floor sags or the problem joist spans across the entire room, you can carry out a temporary fix by bolstering the floor with a temporary beam and a jack post.
If you hired the services of a structural engineer they may recommend two jack posts set equidistant across the span of the sag. This will provide more support for the floor before you try to remove or replace the bad joist.
If you have no technical expertise about how to go about fixing this, it is best you, contact a professional instead of trying to fix it yourself which can cause additional structural damage to your home because cranking up the jack posts too high too fast could cause cracks and stress on the entire home structure.
On average, you shouldn’t raise your floor more than 1/4 inch per month to avoid structural problems.
if you have some carpentry expertise you can go ahead and give the joist a temporary fix. Simply attach two 2x4s together that are long enough to span several joists using a nail, including the damaged one.
Attach these to the bottom of the joists spanning the damaged one in the area where you intend to place the post jack.
Next, insert a post jack underneath the new 2x4s that is placed on top of a thick wood scrap that is large enough to support the jack. The wood used in this project should be handled according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Turn the handle on the jack in the right direction that is usually indicated by the manufacturer in order to increase the jack’s height slightly. Continue turning it slowly to increase its height till it can’t be wiggled free.
As stated earlier you do not want to Increase the height anymore than 1/4 inch to raise the sagging floor slightly.
You can continue repeating this process every month, raising the floor 1/4 inch or less until the floor is level. And Once it is level, you can go ahead and replace the faulty joist.

Pry The Floor Joist From The Subfloor
Cut out a small section of the floor joist about 1-2 inches with a reciprocating saw and This will create a weak spot.
Then use a swinging saw and pry bars to pry and cut out the floor joist away from the subfloor and Use the back end of a hammer or crowbar to open the gap between the subfloor and floor joist.
To cut through wood Insert a wood-cutting blade into your saw, and a metal-cutting blade when cutting through nails.

After completing detaching the joist from the subfloor, it should be kept somewhere where it won’t be underfoot.
Installing the New Joist
Before installing the new joist you need to apply construction adhesive over the entire length of the joist using a caulking gun
Even though you have to apply the adhesive before putting the joist into place, you don’t want to do this too early as the adhesive may dry out by the time you move the joist into place.
Move the new joist into position
If the previous joist rested directly on the foundation sill, you will need to wedge one end of the new joist onto the foundation sill before sliding the other end into position on the opposite side. Then use a hammer to Tap the joist into place.
This project cannot be carried out by a single person so you would need at least one helping hand to install the new joist.
If the new joist won’t fit, you can use a screw jack, hydraulic jack, or any other type of jack to raise the subfloor. Then Put a block of wood underneath the jack and another wood block between the bottom of the subfloor and the top of the jack.
Then raise the jack until you can properly tap the joist into a proper upright position. If the jack is unable to raise the subfloor high enough for you to slide the floor joist in, you can try using a larger jack that can bear a heavier load.
For added strength, you can Install joist hangers using a hammer and nails. Simply Find a metal joist hanger that can support the weight of the new joist and Fit it around the joist.
You need to Make sure the bottom of the joist is rested on the hanger without any space. Then with 16d galvanized nails hammer the hanger to the wall. Round it up by nailing the hanger to the joist.
You can purchase joist hangers at home improvement stores and lumberyards and there are special joist hangers that support I-joists as well as standard wood joists.

Flügger was founded in 1783 in Hamburg, and has existed in Denmark since 1890.
Sune Schnack, son of Ulf Schnack, took over as CEO on 1 April 2021, when Jimmi Mortensen chose to resign.
After significantly increased sales in the first half of the financial year and continued strengthened revenue in the following months, Flügger raises its expectations for the top and bottom line for the financial year 2020/21 for the fourth time in February. Expectations for earnings are raised to DKK 215-235 million. DKK, corresponding to an EBIT margin in the range of 10-11%, which is close to a doubling of the originally announced expectations in June 2020. At the same time, the expectations for revenue are raised to the level of 2,100 - 2,150 mill. DKK.
The world is affected by the corona pandemic, which creates uncertainty about access to raw materials, purchasing patterns, conditions for retail, etc. However, Flügger is experiencing significantly increased customer traffic - especially in the Danish and Swedish markets - with an increase in sales to both private and professionals. At the same time, the Group's earnings are significantly strengthened. The positive results are due to several factors, including an increase in the number of renovation projects initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, a positive impact from the acquisition of the paint manufacturer Unicell in November 2019, and effective cost management. Flügger therefore raises its expectations for both revenue and earnings for the financial year 2020/21 in August, October and November 2020. The expectations for earnings will be raised from ~ DKK 120 million. DKK to 200-215 million. DKK, corresponding to an increase in EBIT margin from ~ 6% to ~ 10%, which is close to a doubling of the originally announced expectations in June 2020. At the same time, the expectations for revenue are raised to the level of DKK 2,050-2,080 million. DKK - from originally ~ 2 billion. DKK.
In the summer of 2020, the management of Flügger will launch the Going Green strategy . The strategy consists of six focus areas that will create the basis for further growth and for Flügger to continue to invest in new value-creating initiatives for the benefit of both customers, shareholders and employees. In addition, as part of the strategy, Flügger has set goals for sustainability in both the short and long term.
In the autumn of 2017, the management of Flügger will launch the strategy Securing the Legacy and the values Team, Time and Trust . The focus is on creating profitable growth as well as efficiency - without compromising on the company's DNA and the quality, passion and creativity that has been built up over generations. Already in the first year after the launch of the strategy, the initiatives are bearing fruit and the results are reflected on the bottom line, which is being strengthened.
In the spring of 2014, a new CEO took office, who despite a high level of ambition experienced stagnant revenue and sharply declining earnings, primarily due to problems with the new IT system in 2015. In August 2016, Jimmi Mortensen took over as new CEO, and initiated clean-up in internal processes and consolidation of store network and range.
The business year 2009/10 surprised positively. Net sales dipped by only a few percent, and EBIT was just over DKK 100 million against an expectation of half. Against this background, the Group again chose to continue the strategy with organic growth established by expanding the store network in Scandinavia as well as in Poland and the Czech Republic. However, a weak sales trend in Denmark, which has traditionally been the Group's cash cow, significantly increased raw material costs and significantly increased distribution costs meant that expectations for the bottom line - ie EBIT - have not been met in recent years despite a positive sales trend.
A strategy will be drawn up in 2007 towards 2010, which entails a continuation of the expansion of the number of Flügger color stores in Scandinavia. In parallel, the focus is on Poland and China. These markets must bear the growth on the day the group has reached its goals in Scandinavia. As can be seen from the following, expectations were met in the short run, ie until the financial crisis hit the group at the turn of the year 2008/09.
After some years of satisfactory earnings, but with stagnant net sales, it was decided to prioritize the top line again. The company chose to buy the leading paint product manufacturer in Iceland and prioritized the expansion of the Flügger color chain, primarily in Norway and Sweden. The strategy for the next three years, ie up to 2007, met the expectations set.
In the 1998/99 financial year, the group did less well. The top line - ie net revenue - dived by approximately 2% to DKK 1,012 million, and the bottom line - ie primarily operating profit EBIT - also took a dive to DKK 30 million. As a consequence of this development, a strategy was laid down: The Group's profitability was to be re-established, as is evident from the development in the following years.
At the turn of the year 1993/94, Sweden's third largest paint factory, HP Färg & Kemi AB, was bought, which has since changed its name to Flügger AB. HP's Norwegian company was merged with Flügger Norge, and the Danish subsidiary PP Mester Maling continues as an independent company in the group. In the following years, the Flügger Group aims to become one of the dominant providers of building paint in Scandinavia. In Norway, a smaller color retailer chain is acquired. In Denmark, a North Jutland wholesaler is acquired, and in Sweden, AdeKema, a manufacturer of cleaning products, is acquired. The group chooses to expand the Swedish central warehouse close to Gothenburg with 11,500 pallet spaces.
Due to a serious fire in the company's factory in Kolding, a planned IPO of Flügger in 1978 has to be postponed to 1983. The introductory price was DKK 875 per share, corresponding to DKK 52 per share today, when the issue of fund shares and changed unit size are taken into account. since the IPO.
With proceeds from the IPO - DKK 42 million - Flügger diversifies. Denmark's largest wallpaper factory, Fiona in Faaborg, is acquired, and Denmark's only producer of sandpaper, Dragon in Maribo, also becomes part of the group. In Sweden, Stiwex brush and painting tool manufacturer and Fobo brush factory are acquired.
Flügger was until 1975 known as the supplier of the painting profession. Sales to individuals were not part of the business. But in 1974, the year after the first economic crisis, the painting profession and Flügger experienced a dramatic downturn, which resulted in the joint start of the store chain "Flügger colors"
During the 1960s, the site in Rødovre was fully developed, so the establishment of a new factory in 1970 in Kolding was necessary. Flügger chose that the new production plant was solely designed to produce aqueous, environmentally friendly building paints. In 1970, Flügger was transformed into a joint stock company with the next generation, his son Ulf Schnack, as CEO. The share capital corresponding to equity amounted to NOK 1 million.
On 1 April 1958, the company moved from the center of Copenhagen to a new factory and administration building in Rødovre. It was Ulf Schnack who, as a 22-year-old newly graduated chemical engineer, was responsible for the development and production of building paint in master painter quality.
After World War II, all German property in Denmark was seized by the Danish state as war damages. After a few years, the state decided to divest the company through a commission sale. It was Michael Schnack, the company's Danish manager, who, with the support of four major painting companies, acquired the company.
On November 1, 1890, the German parent company established a branch in Denmark. This happened after the parent company in Hamburg had established a sale to master painters in Denmark, which they wanted to provide local service.
In 1783, Daniel Flügger founded the company. The son, Joachim Daniel Flügger, took over the company in 1816 and carried it on in his name: JD Flügger, Farben & Lackfabrik, Hamburg. The company was run by four generations of the Flügger family until a voluntary liquidation in 1973. | <urn:uuid:96f29139-fc01-44db-8618-244f2fa87b9b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://flugger.uz/en/article/18 | 2023-09-26T06:44:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.968015 | 1,770 |

Objective Our objective was to describe the postgraduate education trajectories of family and community physicians in Brazil, where neither primary healthcare nor family and community medicine is recognised as a knowledge area for the purpose of research and postgraduate education (master’s and PhD degrees).
Design An observational, exploratory study, using administrative data. A nationwide list of family and community physicians as of late November 2018 was compiled from multiple sources. Data on the mode of specialisation was obtained from the same sources and were correlated with data on master’s and PhD degrees, obtained from the curricula vitae on the Lattes Platform.
Setting This study was set in Brazil.
Participants 6238 family and community physicians (58.3% female), of whom 2795 had earned a specialist certificate (identified from the list of physicians certified by Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade) and 3957 had completed medical residency (identified from SisCNRM, the national information system for medical residency).
Results A master’s degree was held by 747 (12.0%) family and community physicians, and a PhD by 170 (2.7%); most degrees were in collective health (47.0% and 42%, respectively). Men were more likely than women to hold a master’s degree (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.24, 95% uncertainty interval (UI) 1.07–1.45) and even more likely to a hold PhD (aOR 1.86, 95% UI 1.35–2.59). Family and community physicians were also less likely to hold a PhD degree if their master’s degree was professional (oriented towards jobs outside academia) instead of academic (aOR 0.15, 95% UI 0.05–0.39) or in some area other than collective health or medicine (aOR 0.41, 95% UI 0.21–0.78, compared with a master’s degree in collective health). The postgraduate degree was more likely to precede specialisation for family and community physicians specialising through certification (master’s degree 39.9%, PhD 33%) than through medical residency (master’s degree 9.1%, PhD 6%).
Conclusion Family and community physicians in Brazil increasingly earn academic and professional master’s and PhD degrees, with an emphasis on collective health, even though women seemingly face barriers to advance their education. The consequences of different postgraduate trajectories should be critically examined.

What are the trajectories in postgraduate education of Brazilian family and community physicians?
Most master's and PhD degrees are in collective health, not medicine or other areas.
Professional master's degrees (oriented towards jobs outside academia), master’s degrees not in medicine and female gender are less likely to result in a PhD degree.
Sometimes the master's or PhD degree is earned before specialisation in family and community medicine, more so for specialisation through certification than for through residency.
Barriers to postgraduate education among female family and community physicians should be identified and removed.
Outcomes of different postgraduate trajectories should be studied, both inside and outside academia.
In the second half of the 20th century, family medicine differentiated from general practice as a result of the increased appreciation of the importance of primary healthcare, the psychosocial aspects of health and the complexity of causation.1–3 ‘General practitioners’ in countries such as the UK and the Netherlands are expected to undergo vocational training (medical residency), and thus are family physicians by another name.4–6
In Brazil, emphasis on primary healthcare coincided with the fight for redemocratisation, culminating in the establishment of a national health system called Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS; Unified Health System).1 7–10 Meanwhile, in the 1970s, movements called community medicine (medicina comunitária) and comprehensive medicine (medicina integral) merged into a medical specialty then called community general medicine (medicina geral comunitária).1 7–9 In 2000–2001, after SUS started expanding access to primary healthcare through the Family Health Strategy (then Family Health Programme, conceived based on community general medicine and other inputs7 11 12), community general medicine resolved its differences with family medicine, resulting in a medical specialty now called family and community medicine (medicina de família e comunidade, MFC).1 8 Preventive and social medicine (medicina preventiva e social) remains a separate specialty, despite the partially overlapping scope of practice.1
The concepts of ‘field of competence’ and ‘core competence’13 have been considered useful for understanding the interplay between the disciplines of primary healthcare and family and community medicine.9 Family and community medicine having its core competencies does not preclude it from sharing primary healthcare as a field of competence, or vice-versa. Even though McWhinney and Freeman have argued family medicine to be an academic discipline separate from other medical disciplines,2 14 15 they also recognised distinctions among disciplines are sometimes more administrative and historical than epistemological.2
In Brazil, neither primary healthcare nor family and community medicine is acknowledged as a knowledge area in the official ‘tree of knowledge’ adopted by CAPES (the Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education), CNPq (the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) and FINEP (the Funding Authority for Studies and Projects). This means research grant applications and postgraduate programmes (master’s and PhD degrees) must be registered in correlated knowledge areas, such as interdisciplinary, medicine or collective health, or in some subarea or specialty within those knowledge areas. In Latin America, ‘collective health’ comprises (among other definitions16) public health, epidemiology and humanities and social sciences in health.17
Accordingly, there are only a few postgraduate programmes on primary healthcare or Family Health18–21 (but no one on family and community medicine, that we know of) in Brazil, and university departments dedicated to primary healthcare and/or family and community medicine are exceedingly rare. Brazilian journals on primary healthcare and/or family and community medicine have little prestige, and thus a substantial part of relevant research is expected to be published in other, more general journals (this is not specific to Brazil22). All this makes it very hard to gather a comprehensive understanding of postgraduate education and research in primary healthcare and/or family and community medicine.
In this study, we hope to shed some light on the postgraduate education of primary healthcare professionals in Brazil by using specialisation in family and community medicine as an indicator of likelihood of involvement with primary healthcare. Our objective was to explore their trajectories in postgraduate education (master’s and PhD degree), describing the characteristics of their postgraduate degrees as well as correlating such degrees with characteristics of the physicians and their previous training.
In this article, we report results from an observational, exploratory study, integrating administrative data from multiple sources: the Trajetórias MFC project.
We compiled the list of family and community physicians in Brazil from two sources, corresponding to the two modes of recognition as a specialist for physicians in Brazil.23 One mode is certification by the corresponding specialty association. Such specialty certificates are conferred to physicians with either experience or a medical residency who pass an exam occurring once or twice every year, since 2003.3 8 We obtained the list of certified family and community physicians, as of late November 2018, from Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC, the Brazilian Society of Family and Community Medicine), corresponding to the first 24 editions of the specialist certification exam. For physicians having renewed their certification (which is not required), we kept only data on their first certification.
The other way of being recognised as a specialist is completing a medical residency. In late December 2018, we downloaded spreadsheets from SisCNRM (the information system for medical residency) on both family and community medicine and general community medicine (ie, from after and before the specialty was renamed) and merged the lists. Again, for the few physicians having completed a medical residency more than once, we kept only data on their first medical residency.
After obtaining the data from both sources, we merged the lists into a single list of family and community physicians, using both the name and the CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) registry identification number. We verified this compiled list extensively for internal consistency, resorting when necessary to searching the web and looking up in the Lattes Platform. Lattes Platform is the Brazilian information system on science, technology and innovation. Created in 1999, its curricula vitae (CVs) tend to be quite complete because they are used for decisions on research funding and recruitment, promotion and tenure.24 Furthermore, CVs in the Lattes Platform tend to be honest because researchers are accountable for the information they provide. For example, their individual CVs are publicly available as web pages and eXtensible Markup Language (XML) files.
After compiling the list of family and community physicians, we obtained the Lattes Platform ID number by looking up the Lattes Platform using the physicians’ CPF numbers or names, and used this ID number to download the corresponding CVs in XML format in late December 2018. Data on the postgraduate courses were extracted from the Lattes XML files, and data entered manually by the physicians (instead of selecting from predefined lists) were verified by looking up the postgraduate programmes in the Sucupira Platform (the Brazilian information system on postgraduate programmes)25 and searching the web for the monographs. We then obtained further data on the postgraduate programmes from the Sucupira Platform using postgraduate programme ID codes found in the Lattes CVs. Because international programmes are not in the official lists or in the Sucupira Platform, we entered the code for the knowledge area and the mode of the master’s degree by hand based on the programme title. We considered physicians without a Lattes CV as not having earned a master’s degree nor PhD.
We inferred gender from the physician’s first name, using data from the 2010 Brazilian Census26 cached in the genderBR package V.18.104.22.168 First names were considered female if they had 50% or more probability of belonging to a woman, and male if otherwise; names appearing less than 20 times in the Census were not assigned any gender. The date when the Lattes CVs were last updated was retrieved from CVs themselves.
When the physician had both completed a medical residency and received a specialty certificate, we considered whichever came first as the mode of specialisation. The year of specialisation or completion of master’s or PhD degree was categorised in 5-year periods, with the first period (up to 1998, the last year before the inception of the Lattes Platform) having an open beginning. Likewise, the states where the specialisation or completion of master’s or PhD took place were grouped into the five geographical regions (North, Northeast, Southeast, South and Central-West), with an extra category for international postgraduate programmes (Supplemental Table in Fontenelle et al28 lists data for individual states). The knowledge areas were handled at the ‘basic knowledge area’ level (ie, not at the ‘greater knowledge area’ level or the ‘subarea’ or ‘specialty’ levels), and areas other than medicine or collective health were grouped in a catchall category (Supplemental Table in Fontenelle et al28 lists data for individual basic knowledge areas). Master’s degrees were also categorised according to their mode, that is, according to whether they were academic or professional. While both modes involve immersion in research, the academic master’s courses aim to produce researchers, and the professional ones aim to produce better professionals for outside academia.29 30 Professional PhD courses are very recent, and we did not expect any degree to have been earned yet.
Categorical data were described with absolute and relative frequencies, and continuous data were described with medians and IQRs. Besides describing gender and characteristics of specialisation and master’s and PhD degrees, we also described the frequency of master’s degrees among family and community physicians according to their gender and characteristics of specialisation, as well as the frequency of PhD degrees according to the same characteristics as well as to the characteristics of the master’s degree. Because the interpretation of the year of specialisation depends on whether the specialisation was through medical residency or certification, year and mode of specialisation were merged into a single variable to describe the frequency of master’s and PhD degrees.
The association of the beforementioned explanatory variables with having earned a master’s degree (one response variable) or PhD (another response variable) was expressed with the odds ratio (OR). While the prevalence ratio could be more intuitive, the OR better approximates the incidence density (rate) ratio.31 The ORs were estimated through logistic regression both with a single and with multiple explanatory variables at a time, and were expressed as point estimates and 95% uncertainty intervals (UI). All regression coefficients (including the intercept) had weakly informative prior distributions,32 and inference was based on the No-U-Turn sampler.33 Year and mode of specialisation were entered in such regression models separately along with an interaction term between them but, for ease of understanding, the results were presented as if there was a single ‘year and mode of specialisation’ variable. In the multivariable model for the PhD degree, we opted for a hierarchical framework.34 The ‘distal level’ of the hierarchical framework included gender and characteristics of the specialisation, and the ‘proximal level’ included characteristics of the master’s degree. Variables in the distal level had their OR adjusted for other variables in the distal level, and variables in the proximal level had their OR adjusted for all other variables in the model, from both levels.
Time from specialisation to master’s and PhD degrees, and between the two later ones, was described both in general and according to the mode of specialisation. We also examined the distribution of the knowledge areas of the master’s degrees according to the mode of specialisation, and the distribution of knowledge areas of PhD degrees according to the mode of specialisation and the knowledge area of the master’s degree. We did not examine the distribution of the knowledge area of the PhD degree according to the mode of the master’s degree, because too few family and community physicians with a professional master’s degree earned a PhD. When describing the distribution of the knowledge area of the PhD according to the knowledge area of the master’s degree, we opted for an alluvial diagram.
The data were analysed using R V.22.214.171.124 While data verification by hand involved spreadsheet applications from office suites, most data processing (including the tabulation of frequencies) was done within R itself, using packages centred around the concept of ‘tidy data’,36 as well as packages specific to Brazilian data.27 37 For regression modelling we used brms V.2.10.0,38 which builds on the Stan probabilistic programming language39 through rstan V.126.96.36.199 The alluvial diagram was made with ggalluvial V.0.10.0.41
While most of the data sources we used are publicly available, there were two privacy issues. First, the spreadsheet SBMFC provided us with the complete list of certificates (including the CPF number of most) is not publicly available as such. Second, while all data we obtained from the Lattes Platform are publicly available, they lied behind technology intended no hinder data mining. Thus, before initiating the data collection we obtained approval by the research ethics committee of Universidade Vila Velha (certificate 02957118.2.0000.5064). Because our data are personally identifiable, they will be available only if researchers present an ethically approved research project with an analysis plan.42
Figure 1summarises the compilation of the list of family and community physicians included in this study. The first 24 editions of the specialist certification exam resulted in the emission of 2816 certificates, amounting to 2795 unique physicians. Furthermore, 3959 medical residencies were completed (936 in general community medicine and 3023 after it was renamed family and community medicine), amounting to 3957 unique physicians. Because 514 physicians both concluded a medical residency and were certified, there were 6238 unique family and community physicians. Of these, 4065 (65.2%) had a CV in the Lattes Platform. Median time since these CVs were last updated was 1 year, with an IQR of 0–4 years and a maximum of 18 years.
Most family and community physicians (3563, 57.1%) were female, and the most common mode of specialisation was medical residency (3917, 62.8%, table 1). The number of new family and community physicians increased over time, with the largest increases being from 1999–2003 (5.9%) to 2004–2008 (21.9%) and from 2009–2013 (25.2%) to 2014–2018 (37.9%). Specialisation in family and community medicine was concentrated in the Southeast and South regions.
A master’s degree was obtained by 747 (12.0%) family and community physicians (table 2), with 554 (74.2%) degrees being academic and the other 193 (25.8%) being professional. The number of new master’s degrees increased with time, especially from 2004–2008 to 2009–2013; from 2009–2013 to 2014–2018, the increase was restricted to professional master’s degrees. As for specialisation, master’s degrees were concentrated in the Southeast and South regions, both for academic and professional degrees. Master’s degrees in collective health (351, 47.0%) were twice as frequent as those in medicine (170, 22.8%), with other frequent knowledge areas being interdisciplinary (84, 11.2%), teaching (30, 4.0%) and education (24, 3.2%). Professional degrees accounted for 104 (29.6%) of the master’s degrees in collective health, but only 27 (15.9%) of those in medicine. The postgraduate programmes were spread across 141 institutions, with only eight of them having conferred a master’s degree to at least 20 family and community physicians. Most family and community physicians obtained their master’s degrees from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS; Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul), Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz; Oswaldo Cruz Foundation) or Universidade de São Paulo (USP; University of São Paulo); more information on the Supplemental Table in Fontenelle et al .28
A PhD degree was held by 170 (2.7%) family and community physicians (table 2). There were no professional PhD degrees. As with master’s degrees, there was an increase in new PhD degrees over time, and most degrees were obtained in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil. Contrary to master’s degrees, PhD degrees were more evenly distributed between medicine (64, 38%) and collective health (72, 42%). The postgraduate programmes were spread across 40 institutions, with only two of them (USP and UFRGS) having conferred more than 20 degrees; more information on the Supplemental Table in Fontenelle et al.28
Some groups of family and community physicians were less likely to hold a master’s or PhD degree, even after adjusting for other characteristics (tables 3 and 4). Women were less likely to hold a master’s degree than their male colleagues, and only half as likely to hold a PhD. Family and community physicians with a professional master’s degree were ⅐ as likely to earn a PhD as those with an academic master’s degree. A master’s degree in other knowledge areas was also associated with a lower likelihood of earning a PhD than a master’s in medicine or collective health.
Among those earning a master’s degree, the median time from specialisation to master’s degree was 4 years (IQR, 0–6): 5 years (IQR, 3–8) for family and community physicians specialising through medical residency, and 1 year (IQR, −3 to 4) for those specialising through certification. Earning a master’s degree came before specialisation for 21.8% family and community physicians: 9.1% for those specialising through medical residency, and 39.9% for those specialising through certification. The proportion of master’s degrees in each of the knowledge areas (medicine, collective health, other) was very similar across the specialisation modes (certification or medical residency, table 5).
Likewise, the median time from specialisation to PhD degree was 9 years (IQR, 3.25–12): 10 years (IQR, 7–14) for family and community physicians specialising through medical residency, and 2 years (IQR, −2.5 to 9) for those specialising through certification. Earning a PhD degree came before specialisation for 16% family and community physicians: 6% for those specialising through medical residency, and 33% for those specialising through certification. As with the master’s degrees, the proportion of PhD degrees in each of the knowledge areas (medicine, collective health, other) was very similar across the specialisation modes (certification or medical residency, table 6).
Finally, the median time from master's to PhD degree was 4 years (IQR, 0–6). Most family and community physicians earning a PhD in collective health (50, 69%) also earned a master’s degree in the same knowledge area (figure 2). On the other hand, half of those earning a PhD in medicine earned a master’s degree in collective health (11, 17%) or no master’s degree at all (ie, direct PhD; 19, 30%). Most direct PhD degrees (16, 53%), in medicine or otherwise, were conferred by USP.
Our findings indicate one in eight family and community physicians have earned a master’s degree, and little more than 1 in 40 have earned a PhD. The number of new degrees is increasing over time, and most of the degrees are in collective health (not medicine) and were obtained in the Southeast and South regions. Gender is associated with the probability of obtaining a master’s degree and, together with the mode and knowledge area of the master’s degree, also with that of obtaining a PhD degree. In comparison to family and community physicians specialising through medical residency, those specialising through certification were more likely to already have earned a master’s and/or PhD degree (instead of earning after specialisation), but just as likely to have earned their degree in medicine, collective health or other knowledge areas.
Professional master’s programmes are responsible for most of the recent increase in the number of master’s degrees, and might be attracting graduate students who would otherwise opt for academic programmes. The Northeast region, with its RENASF network of institutions offering a professional master’s programme focused on the Family Health Strategy,19 20 accounts for part of this increase, as does the state of Rio de Janeiro, whose capital city recently invested heavily in the expansion of the Family Health Strategy and incentivised health professionals to earn master’s degrees21; but the increase in professional master’s degrees was not restricted to these states (data not shown). Even though the ProfSaúde programme18 is expected to contribute to this increase, it does not account for our findings, because its first students graduated after we obtained our data.
Brazil has been promoting professional master’s degree on Family Health alongside other qualification initiatives, such as residencies, short postgraduate courses, and academic master’s degree.21 30 While one would expect any qualification to contribute something, responsible public policies for human resources in health depend on critically examining the relative benefits of the multiple possible postgraduate trajectories. For example, some qualification initiatives might add little to the performance of professionals who are already sufficiently qualified, or who are not qualified enough to benefit from said initiatives. Furthermore, for better or for worse, a professional master’s degree should increase employability in academia (even if presumably not as much as an academic master’s degree), thereby increasing workforce turnover in the Family Health Strategy while contributing to the education of the new generation of health professionals.
This debate is made even more timely by the advent of professional PhD programmes. Graduates from professional master’s courses seem to be less likely to earn PhD degrees, even after adjusting for potential confounders, such as when was the master’s degree concluded. Because graduates from professional programmes are expected to be outside academia, they might not find value in academic PhD courses. It remains to be seen if professional PhD programmes are needed to fill this niche, or if simply there’s not much use for any PhD outside academia. Meanwhile, physicians are still not required to complete a medical residency (or otherwise be certified) before working in primary care in Brazil, and posts in medical residencies lag behind the annual number of newly graduated physicians (the same applies for nurses).43
Another major finding is that most family and community physicians hold master’s and PhD degrees in collective health, not medicine. This phenomenon is more common for master’s than for PhD degrees, and for professional than for academic degrees, but it occurs in both levels and both modes of postgraduate programmes. We cannot say this came as a surprise: of the authors who are family and community physicians, all three hold a PhD in a subarea of collective health. In our experience, not only has collective health devoted substantial interest to primary healthcare as a public policy, but also the Brazilian medical community has not devoted much interest to primary care as a locus of healthcare delivery. For example, searching for (‘family medicine’ OR ‘family and community medicine’) in the SciELO Brazil collection, one of the top five journals is on medical education and the other four are journals on collective health. This suggests most research on primary healthcare in Brazil to be on health policy, service management and health promotion, as well as medical education, but not so much on clinical care.
Most medical residencies, specialist certifications, master’s and PhD degrees happened in the Southeast and South regions. The reason is twofold: these are two of the most populous regions (together with the Northeast region), and are the most economically developed ones. These facts also reflect in the overall distribution of physicians in Brazil.44 Interestingly, our data do not support a higher probability of obtaining a master’s or PhD degree for family and community physicians specialising or obtaining a master’s degree in the Southeast and South regions. This is not to say our data support equity in access to postgraduate programmes: there simply are too few family and community physicians outside the Southeast and South regions for us to make precise estimates. As the saying goes, ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (of effect)’.45
On the other hand, the association of gender and postgraduate degrees was very clear: female family and community physicians are less likely to obtain master’s degrees than their male colleagues, and even less so for PhD degrees. This should not be interpreted as gender having a direct effect on educational achievement: our study was exploratory, and inclusion of gender as an explanatory variable was motivated mostly by the SAGER (Sex and Gender Equity in Research) guidelines.46 Rather, this finding should be taken as justification for further studies, aimed at a more proper explanation for this correlation. Such an explanation might have more to do with family and community medicine than with the Brazilian society at large, because half the master’s and PhD graduates in Brazil are women.47 Besides the ethical relevance of elucidating and preferably removing any gendered barriers to postgraduate education, the issue has special relevance to the discipline because most family and community physicians are women.
In interpreting our findings, one must keep in mind we depended on administrative data. Because data from Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM; the Federal Board of Medicine) is not available to others, we could not perform record linkage to identify who had retired, emigrated or deceased. The National Registration of Specialists was expected to provide easy access to an authoritative list of physicians in any medical specialty but, unfortunately, it has not been maintained as prescribed by the More Doctors Law.48 Consequently, the number of family and community physicians is surely overestimated, even if we expect this overestimation to be minor because family and community medicine is a fairly young specialty in Brazil.44 In 2018, Augusto et al23 (using the same methods as us) estimated there would be 5,438 family and community physicians in Brazil, 276 (5%) more than the 5,162 found by Scheffer et al,44 who had access to CFM data. Another limitation of our study was that, as in Augusto et al,23 we could not include the family and community physicians who completed their medical residencies in the 1970s. SisCNRM records for family and community medicine (then community general medicine) begin at 1981, when the specialty was recognised; we can only hope family and community physicians from the 1970s eventually took the exams and were certified after 2003.
Our data had limitations concerning postgraduate programmes, as well. Postgraduate degrees will probably have been underreported to some extent, even though postgraduate students are incentivised to have a CV in the Lattes Platform and entering data on a postgraduate degree is simple enough. Furthermore, there surely was some information error in the reported degrees, but we hope to have cleaned most of those errors during our verification. One potential issue is that we verified the data using current information on the postgraduate programmes, not information from when the degrees were obtained; but much of the information is not expected to change in any significant way, and possible changes in the knowledge subarea or specialty of the postgraduate programmes would not matter for our analysis, which was done at the level of basic knowledge area. Finally, because the Lattes Platform was launched in 1999, master’s and PhD degrees earned before are expected to be underreported, even if this underreporting is expected to occur mostly among those who do not make much use of the degrees.
Family and community physicians in Brazil increasingly earn academic and professional master’s and PhD degrees, with an emphasis on collective health, even though women seemingly face barriers to advance their education. The consequences of different postgraduate trajectories on professional performance and primary care research are unknown. We suggest it would be easier to gain a wider view of postgraduate education of primary care providers and/or on primary healthcare if the National Registration of Specialists came back online, and if primary healthcare and/or family and community medicine were recognised as knowledge areas.

What we think: Using a boom for the wing (such as the Echo) is nice for ability to move your hands. But the overall weight and additional setup time of a large boom is definitely a negative. The ease and weight of this mini boom is incredible! Its so light its hard to believe. It should work on most wings with handles. It only weighs 3 ounces!!
Introducing the Powerlink Control Bar: Best of both worlds!
Innovation and thoughtful design are at our heart, the new Powerlink Control Bar is another example of Armstrong's dedication to the design ethos. During the testing of the A-Wing, Armie developed the Powerlink Control Bar with the goal of increasing the handling and range of the A-Wing! Linking the middle handles allows for easy hand transfers, enhanced wing control during transitions and on waves. It improves light wind power, with both hands on the bar it sets the wing higher and further from body turbulence, which improves low-end grunt. It also adds to upper-end wind range by allowing your rear hand to move forward for the optimal control position in powered conditions.
Although the Power Control Bar has been developed primarily for the A-Wing, as an added bonus it can also easily be fitted to many other brands wings!
