An international crackdown is underway to stop trade in shahtoosh shawls and scarves — expensive, high-fashion items made from the fine wool of the endangered Tibetan antelope, or chiru. Last month saw the first U.S. criminal prosecution for illegal trading in the shawls, a case against dealers in New Jersey. Officials in England, Hong Kong, and Spain have also seized shawls recently. Environmentalists are pushing to add the Tibetan antelope to the U.S. endangered species list, which would prohibit interstate commerce in shahtoosh shawls and make violators subject to further penalties. In China, a cash-strapped ragtag group calling itself the Wild Yak Brigade works to protect the antelopes from armed poachers who skin the animals alive to collect their wool, then leave them to die. The brigade estimates that the antelopes’ numbers have dropped from about 200,000 in 1992 to less than 50,000 today, and that they could be wiped out within 10 years. | <urn:uuid:8a390a22-f66c-4e21-ad45-6bb1a004260c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://grist.org/article/proctors/ | 2023-09-26T07:21:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.941515 | 212 |
|Above: Beth Milligan and Joe Beyer, Harvest volunteers!|
“It was fun,” Beth says. “We were given room to be creative, and the whole atmosphere was very collaborative, different people running around working on different things. It was just a lot of fun!”
As for what drew the couple to volunteer in the first place, Beth had gone to previous Harvest dinners in the past and really enjoyed the experience. When she learned that she could dive a little deeper into the event by volunteering and also receive a free ticket, that sealed the deal.
A great tip from Beth: “I recommend volunteering with somebody you know. It just makes a good experience that much better, and even more fun.” She also liked doing the day-prior set up shift, so on the day of the event they could immerse in the experience.
“It’s kind of a miracle to see this huge tent go up, and then see the dinner served and the band play and see that whole transformation … so when you are there early for setup and get to see all that magic come together it’s just very cool.”
What else draws her back to Harvest? “The act of sitting down at a big, long table and sharing food with neighbors and others—that’s a big part of it. I see so many people there from so many different parts of the community.”
And of course the food. “The dinner is the heart of it, and the food is lovingly prepared. You can tell the difference. And it’s served family style, so back to that idea of sharing. Sharing bread. Sharing salads. Sharing community. It’s all part of it.”
Delicious, high-energy fun!

What We believe
We believe in the verbal (the very words) and plenary (all the words) inspiration of the Scriptures in the original manuscripts (Deuteronomy 4:2; 2 Timothy 3:16-17); the 66 books which comprise the Old and New Testaments are equally inspired and without error or contradiction; that by virtue of the superintendence and empowering of the Holy Spirit, the human writers wrote not their private interpretations but the very words of God (2 Peter 1:20-21); the Scriptures are eternal in nature (Psalm 119:89) and recognize, based on our possession of a great number of existing manuscripts, that God, by His gracious providence, has preserved those Scriptures throughout all ages in a state of purity; the Scriptures are the final authority in all matters pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3-4) and are profitable for teaching, conviction, correction, and a continued walk in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16- 17). The Bible is complete in itself and not to be added to or taken away from (Revelation 22:18-19; Deuteronomy 4:2). As a matter of practice, Heritage Baptist Church uses the King James Version of the Holy Bible.
God the father
We believe in the one true and living God (Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Isaiah 44:6,8; Exodus 20:2-3), the Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1; Romans 1:20; Psalm 104), Who exists eternally in three distinct persons (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), Who are coequal in every divine perfection and attribute (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
We believe God possesses divine attributes which go beyond (transcend) the finite capabilities of any creature, including infinite knowledge (omniscience – Psalm 147:5; Psalm 139:1-6), infinite presence (omnipresence – Psalm 139:7; Jeremiah 23:23-24), infinite power (omnipotence – Genesis 1; Genesis 18:14), unchangeable nature (immutability – James 1:17; Revelation 1:8), and unique holiness (Revelation 15:4).
We believe God possesses moral attributes of absolute perfection which He expects man to emulate, such as holiness (Leviticus 11:44), love (1 John 4:7-11), trustworthiness (Psalm 100:5), righteousness (2 Chronicles 12:6), goodness (Psalm 52:1), benevolence (Psalm 145:9), mercy (Ephesians 2:4; Exodus 15:13), purity (Job 4:17; Matthew 5:8), and grace (1 Peter 2:3; Ephesians 2:8-9).
We believe Jesus Christ is eternal God (John 1:1-3; Micah 5:2; Romans 9:1-5) and worthy of glory, honor, and worship (Revelation 5:12); that He became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18; Isaiah 7:14), and that He might reveal God the Father and redeem sinful man (John 1:12-14; Matthew 1:21-23).
We believe Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, thereby qualifying Himself to be the substitutionary payment for the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15); that He accomplished our redemption through the shedding of His blood in death on the cross (Romans 3:24-26; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 2:1-2); and He assured our justification by His literal, and physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:3-5).
We believe Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of God, where, as our Great High Priest, He intercedes for us (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 4:14; 1 John 2:1-2; 1 Timothy 2:5-6) until He returns to rapture His saints and subsequently establish His millennial kingdom on earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Zechariah 14:4-11).
the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4); that as a distinct person within the Godhead, He possesses the attributes of personality (Matthew 12:31; Acts 5:3-4, 7:51; Ephesians 4:30; John 14:26); He indwells every believer (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20); He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-11); and He regenerates and sanctifies the believer (Titus 3:4-5,7; Romans 15:16).
We believe the Holy Spirit’s work includes filling the lives of Christians (Ephesians 5:18-20) and making intercession (Romans 8:26-27), sealing unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13-14), quickening (Romans 8:11-14), guiding (John 14:26), and bestowing gifts (Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Ephesians 4:9-12; Galatians 5:22-23).
We believe the sign gifts, used to authenticate the Apostolic office, ceased to exist with the death of the Apostles and closing of the New Testament canon (1 Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 22:18-19).
We believe Satan is a real and active being in whom no truth abides (John 8:44); that he fell from an exalted position in heaven due to his pride (Luke 10:17-18; 1 Timothy 3:2, 6-7), taking a number of the angelic host with him in condemnation (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6); that Satan is the god of this world who blinds the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:3-4) and constantly battles and accuses believers (Ephesians 6:11-12; Revelation 12:10).
We believe Satan will seek whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) until the millennial reign of Christ when he will be bound for one thousand years and then, subsequent to one final rebellion against Christ, be cast into the Lake of Fire to burn forever in utter torment (Revelation 20:1-6, 10).
Satan is known by many names including:
“The Serpent” (Genesis 3:1); “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31); “SATAN” (1 Chronicles 21:1); “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4); “Lucifer” (Isaiah 14:12-15); “Belial” (2 Corinthians 6:15);
“the devil” (Matthew 4:1); “the tempter” (1 Thessalonians 3:5);
“Beelzebub” (Matthew 12:24); “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2); “the wicked one” (Matthew 13:19, 38); and “the accuser of our brethren” (Revelations 12:10).
We believe and accept by faith the literal creation of the universe by the direct act of God in six, 24-hour days as recorded in the first two chapters of Genesis (Genesis 1-2; Isaiah 45:12, 18; Hebrews 11:3; Colossians 1:16-18; John 1:1-3). We reject all theories of evolution, both theistic and atheistic, as they deny observable laws of nature (Romans 1:20-22, 25), contradict the teaching of Scripture (Romans 5:12-13; 1 Timothy 6:20-21) and undermine the rightful authority of God over His own creation (Revelation 4:11).
We believe man was created in a state of innocence in the image of God for His glory (Genesis 1:26-27; Revelation 4:11) but by willful disobedience man sinned (Genesis 3; Romans 5:19); and as a result, the whole human race, with the exception of Jesus Christ, fell and inherited a sin nature (Romans 5:12-13;17- 19; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22); that every man from Adam’s fall onward is a sinner by birth and by choice, thus alienated or separated from God (Ephesians 2:11-13; Colossians 1:21-23) and utterly incapable apart from God of escaping his sinful condition or his rightful eternal punishment (Romans 3:10-23; John 3:19; Romans 5:6- 8; 1 John 5:12; Revelation 21:8).
We believe the salvation of sinners is a gift only by the grace of God (John 3:16-17; Romans 5:14-18; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9), based on the substitutionary death and shed blood of Christ Jesus on the cross (Romans 3:24-26) and specifically excludes any meritorious good works by man on his own behalf (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7).
We believe man receives salvation individually by a repentance from sin (Acts 20:21) and a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31; Galatians 2:16); that once saved, all true believers are eternally saved and kept secured in Christ by the power of God unto eternal and complete salvation (John 5:24; John 6:37-40; John 10:28-29; 1 John 5:11-13).
We believe the local church is a group of professing believers united together for the purpose of worshiping and glorifying God, receiving biblical instruction, fellowshipping with believers, observing the ordinances of the church, and rendering service to Christ (Ephesians 5:22-27; Hebrews 10:24-25); that the local church is autonomous (self-governed), directly responsible to Christ Who is the Head of the Body (Colossians 1:18); and God has established two official offices for the church: pastor/elder and deacon (Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Timothy 3:1-13).
We believe God gave the local church two ordinances to observe: baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:38-42; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). We believe baptism is a symbol of a believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 53:4-5; Romans 6:3-6). We believe immersion is the proper mode of baptism (Matthew 3:16-17) and the only authority for baptism is the local church. We believe the Lord’s Supper is a memorial of the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 11:23-25) and that it is open to all true believers who are in right-standing with God (1 Corinthians 11:26-29).
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29, 11:25-26; Revelation 20:4-6, 12-15). We believe in a literal heaven where Jesus Christ is presently preparing a place for believers (John 14:2). We also believe in a literal hell, originally prepared for the devil and his fallen angels consisting of everlasting torment, flames, punishment, and separation from God (Matthew 25:31-46; Isaiah 66:22-24).
We believe in the imminent bodily resurrection of deceased believers, immediately followed by the catching away of living believers to meet the Lord Jesus in the air prior to the seven-year Great Tribulation (Daniel 9:21-27; Matthew 24:29-42, 26:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54; Matthew 24:44; Revelation 7:14, 13:4-6). After the tribulation, Jesus Christ will return to earth to destroy the wicked and establish His thousand-year millennial reign on earth (Revelation 19:11-20:4). Then, at the conclusion of the Millennium, Jesus Christ will cast Satan and all his evil forces into the Lake of Fire for eternal destruction (Revelation 20:10-11); and will sentence all unbelieving sinners to eternal damnation at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:12-15). The redeemed of all ages, after receiving their rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10), shall, in glorified bodies, dwell with the triune God forever, to serve and enjoy Him in perfect peace and happiness (Revelation 21-22).
We believe all the saved should live in such a manner as to not bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord; and that separation from all religious apostasy and sinful worldliness is commanded by God (Romans 12:1-2; 16:17-18; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; 1 Timothy 6:3-5; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17; 2 John 5- 11).
We believe God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1) the home (Genesis 18:9; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21;1 Timothy 5:8), 2) the church (Acts 5:29; Hebrews 10:23- 25; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12, 27), and 3) the state (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-14,17). Every person is subject to these authorities, and all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution specific responsibilities and has balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that no institution has the right to infringe upon the other. The home, the church, and the state are equal and sovereign in their respective biblically assigned spheres of responsibility under God.
MARRIAGE AND HUMAN SEXUALITY
We believe God ordained marriage; that the only legitimate marriage is the joining together of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:21-24), and that all sexual activity is to be reserved for the bond of marriage (Leviticus 18:1-30; Hebrews 13:4). We believe any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:24-31), fornication (1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:18-20), adultery or pornography (Exodus 20:14; Proverbs 6:25; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 7:2-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:22) is sinful perversion of God’s gift of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance (Deuteronomy 22:5).
We believe God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male and female. These two, distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God and therefore, the rejection of one’s biological gender is a rejection of the image of God within that person (Genesis 1:26-27). | <urn:uuid:c72ebd81-7696-4894-b86f-635951579d1f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://growathbc.com/what-we-believe/ | 2023-09-26T04:44:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.870262 | 3,395 |

Nigeria suffers 64% data breach in Q1, ranks 32 globally
A cybersecurity firm, Surfshark, has revealed that the incidences of data breaches in Nigeria increased by 64 per cent in Q1. Surfshark in the report released yesterday, said Nigeria recorded 82,000 cases of data breaches between January and March this year, up from 50,000 recorded in Q4 2022.
The 64 per cent data breach positioned Nigeria as the 32nd in the world on the list of countries most breached by hackers. The report revealed globally, data breaches declined in the first quarter of 2023, with a total of 41.6 million accounts breached, which is almost 50 per cent less than nearly 81 million recorded in Q4’2022. It stressed that at least one account is breached every second.
The report added that Russia ranked 1st, amounting to a sixth of all leaked accounts, followed by America (five million), Taiwan (3.9 million), France (3.2 million) and Spain (3.2 million).
A 49 per cent decrease in breached users worldwide is seen compared to Q4’2022. However, some countries experienced rapid growth, such as Taiwan (21 times), Saudi Arabia (19 times), South Korea (13 times), Czechia (nine times) and Armenia (seven times).
Europe was the most affected region by breaches in Q1’2023, followed by Asia and North America. Some of the biggest breaches by email count were Sberbank (Russia), with 2.9 million accounts leaked, Weee! (America) with 1.1 million, and Zurich Insurance (Switzerland) with 756,700.
Lead Researcher at Surfshark, Agneska Sablovskaja, said: “Data breaches declined globally in the first quarter of 2023 if we compare it to the previous one.
“However, the fact that over 40 million accounts were breached in just a few months is still a cause for concern. Those whose data was compromised are at an increased risk of being targeted by cybercriminals as their personal information can be utilised for phishing attacks, fraud, identity theft, and other serious cybercrimes.” | <urn:uuid:0d248f38-cbb3-4b60-8fe4-c9b1c3ac7808> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://guardian.ng/business-services/nigeria-suffers-64-data-breach-in-q1-ranks-32-globally/ | 2023-09-26T05:28:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.960899 | 458 |

his is the story of the sculptor Alexander Calder - meant for young children. It's told mostly through collages that actually have you feel the touch of the hands that have created so many fanciful sculptures.
"Kulikov's elegant, fanciful, multimedia collages extend the story, though, and they will ignite curiosity in Calder and in his art-making process, which seems as joyful and free-form as children's play."

|Lucky Egg Locations|
|1||Held item (5% chance) found on the following Pokémon:
The only way to get Lucky Eggs in Platinum is to steal them from wild Chansey. The easiest place to farm for Chansey is on Route 209 and on southern Route 210.
Since these Routes will be open to you shortly after you’ve received your third Gym Badge, you’ll be able to obtain as many Lucky Eggs as you need relatively early in the game.
Acquiring Lucky Eggs (Repeatable)
The only Lucky Eggs in Pokémon Platinum are held items that you can take from wild Chansey. You’ll encounter Chansey on Route 209 and the southern (non-foggy) section of Route 210, to the north and south of Solaceon Town.
Both Routes become available to you shortly after you’ve defeated Leader Fantina in Hearthome City and received the Relic Badge from her.
Although you can also find wild Chansey in the Trophy Garden, that’s a much more troublesome process. And that location won’t be available until later in the game anyway.
Every wild Chansey you encounter has a chance of carrying one of the following items:
- A 50% chance of carrying an Oval Stone
- A 5% chance of carrying a Lucky Egg
Because Chansey are rare Pokémon to start with (with only a 5% encounter rate), it can take a long time to find even one Lucky Egg.
That’s why it’s recommended you put together a specialized item-farming team before attempting to search for them. These teams use a combination of stealing moves and the Abilities Compoundeyes and Frisk to speed up the item-hunting process.
- Compoundeyes will raise the chance of finding a Lucky Egg from 5% to 20%.
- Frisk will then notify you whenever a Chansey is holding one.
This won’t make Chansey appear more often. But it’ll boost the odds of finding a Lucky Egg whenever you do run into a Chansey – and will cut down on time-consuming guesswork.
Once you’ve discovered a Chansey holding a Lucky Egg, you can either catch the Chansey or take the item by using a stealing move like Thief or Trick.
Then end the battle however you like. You will hold on to the Lucky Egg even if you run away.
Lucky Egg Details and Uses
The Lucky Egg is a held item that boosts the number of Exp. Points the holder gains from battle by 150%.
This item is especially helpful when training to defeat late-game Gym Leaders, the Pokémon League, and the increasingly difficult battles of the post-game content.
It should be noted that the Lucky Egg has no bearing on the experience doled out to teammates via Exp. Shares; those Pokémon will still receive the regular non-boosted number of Exp. Points. | <urn:uuid:5643e3bd-f521-41d2-a485-caae975ecdad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://guidestrats.com/pokemon-platinum-lucky-eggs/ | 2023-09-26T05:26:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.936689 | 627 |

For busy professionals, it can be difficult to find the time to prepare healthy, delicious meals from scratch. Fortunately, there are plenty of healthy meal delivery services available that offer top-notch food and personalized nutrition counseling to keep you healthy and fit throughout your busy day. These five reasons why you need a bespoke meal plan service will help you decide if it’s right for you!
1) It’s more convenient
We all lead busy lives and have far less time on our hands these days. With so much going on, it’s almost impossible to cook healthy meals from scratch and ensure they are nutritionally balanced, too. A gourmet meal delivery service will provide pre-cooked meals that are nutritious and delicious, meaning you can take more time out of your day to relax or spend with friends. It’s healthier: When we eat out, we tend to make poor food choices.
This is partly because restaurants often use cheap cooking oils and fat in their dishes, which makes them taste good but aren’t great for us. Also, restaurant portions are usually large – way larger than what most people need in one sitting – which means we end up eating more calories than we should be consuming in one go. For more, visit www.eatologyasia.com.
2) Customized diet plans
A personalized diet plan tailored to your health goals and fitness level. Individualized nutritional plans are often called Bespoke plans because, just like custom-made clothing, they are made for you alone. Unlike off-the-shelf, preplanned diet menus (whether they be packaged foods or meals delivered weekly), bespoke meal plans are completely customized to your personal needs. That’s why that bespoke meal delivery service is so effective. https://www.eatologyasia.com/ contains more information.
3) Nutritional meals
In today’s world, where time is more precious than ever, it can be difficult to achieve our health and fitness goals. That’s why having nutritional meals prepared for us on hand is so essential; there are just too many temptations in our environment that prevent us from making good decisions about what we eat. But fear not, as bespoke meal plans are available from quality companies in your area who provide you with nutritional meals when you don’t have time to cook them yourself. Click the link to know more https://www.eatologyasia.com/
4) Tasty dishes
If you’re looking for healthy food meal plan delivery, it’s important to find a gourmet service that not only provides great-tasting dishes but is also able to cater to your bespoke meal plan and nutritional needs. From low sodium content meals to balanced nutrition and non-processed foods, there are many options available, so take some time to select wisely. A tasty dish may look delicious, but if it doesn’t provide much nutritional value then what good is it? This brings us to our next point…
5) Quality control
Preparing healthy meals at home can be time-consuming and, let’s face it, stressful. You have to plan what you’re going to cook and make sure that it’s delicious and healthy. Most people don’t have time for all of that, which is why they often choose less-healthy options that are easier to prepare. Delivering ready-made meals gives you access to gourmet dishes created by professional chefs with your dietary preferences in mind. To know more, head to https://www.eatologyasia.com/
We are happy to present this collaborative post to offer valuable information to our readers. | <urn:uuid:c94b4a22-db32-4adf-a79a-9dbeaa3de853> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gypsynester.com/5-major-reasons-why-you-need-a-gourmet-meal-delivery-service/ | 2023-09-26T06:13:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.95928 | 759 |
Fall is here and the weather’s beautiful outside. Hiking is a favorite past time for many, but it has its dangers, especially as you get older. Here are some ways to stay safe while hiking and make the most of this gorgeous weather!
1. Stretch beforehand
One of the worst things that can happen while hiking is hurting yourself. Between tree roots, rabbit holes, and sometimes your own two feet, a rolled or twisted ankle can put a damper on your hiking fun for the next couple weeks.
A good way to prevent this is to make sure to get a good stretch in beforehand. Loosening up before a hike will help you stay limber and minimize the damage that a fall can do.
Before your hike, focus on dynamic stretching. This kind of stretching involves moving through your stretches instead of holding them. Stretches like knee lifts or high kicks will help prepare your body for the motions you’re about to go through and warm up your muscles appropriately.
In contrast, static stretching can help you avoid soreness after a hike. Static stretching, which requires you to hold the stretch for 10 seconds or longer, improves the elasticity of your muscles. Focusing on the core muscle groups that got worked the most (typically the legs and torso while hiking) provides the maximum amount of relief from next-day soreness.
2. Wear a high-quality backpack
For those of you who like to go on long or overnight hikes, choosing the right hiking backpack is vital to keeping your body in good health. An ill-fitting backpack can cause unnecessary strain on your back, shoulders, and neck, resulting in possible short-term or long-term injuries.
When choosing the perfect fit, there are two things you need to pay attention to:
• A size that fits your torso length
• A size that fits comfortably on your hips
One of the most common mistakes made when purchasing a backpack is choosing one that fits your overall height rather than your torso length. When worn correctly, most of the weight from the backpack should rest on your hips, making it vital to choose a pack that fits your torso.
Interested in purchasing a high-quality hiking pack but not sure which to pick? Check out this backpack breakdown between three major hiking brands.
3. Choose the right shoes
Hiking means spending most of the day on your feet, making the shoes you wear crucial to a pleasant experience. Ill-fitting footwear can lead to cramps, shin splints, and other painful problems.
The general consensus in the hiking community is that either hiking shoes or hiking boots are the best choices when trekking through the forest. Both offer more support than your average sneaker as well as lugs on the sole for increased grip.
Hiking shoes offer less ankle support than boots due to their lack of a reinforced cuff. They’re also more lightweight and designed to ventilate your feet. Boots, on the other hand, offer more support and protection and are preferable for those who need more ankle support.
Whether you decide to go with hiking shoes or hiking boots, the same criteria apply. Everybody’s feet are different, so it’s important to try them on and make sure they feel comfortable. On longer hikes, your feet tend to swell, so make sure you have ample room in the toebox as well.
For those quite meticulous on looks, UGGs offer hiking boots that are both fashionable and durable. However, some claim that they are quite big in sizing. You could check this out for more information before choosing to buy a pair for yourself.
In conclusion: key takeaways
There’s no reason not to stay active, even as you get older. In fact, studies say that exercise is the number one factor for longevity! However, you can’t stay active if you suffer an injury on your adventures.
• Stretching keeps your muscles limber and flexible. Dynamic stretches can help reduce the chance of injury while hiking and static stretches can minimize soreness afterward.
• Carrying large loads on your back can lead to injury. When choosing a hiking pack, make sure that it fits your torso length and rests snugly on your hips.
• You’re on your feet all day, so take care of them. Hiking shoes and boots offer extra protection, support, and grip over regular sneakers.

If you’re entering something in The Hackaday Prize this year, [Peter Jansen] is a guy you need to watch out for. Last year, he won 4th place with the Open Source Science Tricorder, and this year he’s entering a homebrew MRI machine. Both are incredible examples of what can be built with just enough tools to fit on a workbench, but even these builds don’t cover everything [Peter] has built. A few years ago, [Peter] built a desktop CT scanner. The CT scanner worked, but not very well; the machine takes nine hours to acquire a single slice of a bell pepper. At that rate, any vegetable or fruit would begin to decompose before a full scan could be completed.
This didn’t stop a deluge of emails from radiology professors and biomedical folk from hitting [Peter]’s inbox. There are a lot of people who are waiting for back alley CT scans, but the CT scanner, right now, just isn’t up to the task. The solution is iteration, and in the radiology department of hackaday.io, [Peter] is starting a new project: an improved desktop CT scanner.
The previous version of this CT scanner used a barium check source – the hottest radioisotope source that’s available without a license – and a photodiode detector found in the Radiation Watch to scan small objects. This source is not matched to the detector, there’s surely data buried below the noise floor, but somehow it works.
For this revision of a desktop CT scanner, [Peter] is looking at his options to improve scanning speed. He’s come up with three techniques that should allow him to take faster, higher resolution scans. The first is decreasing the scanning volume: the closer a detector is to the source, the higher the number of counts. The second is multiple detectors, followed up by better detectors than what’s found in the Radiation Watch.
The solution [Peter] came up with still uses the barium check source, but replaces the large photodiode with multiple PIN photodiodes. There will be a dozen or so sensors in the CT scanner, all based on a Maxim app note, and the mechanical design of this CT scanner greatly simplifies the build.
Compared to the Stargate-like confabulation of [Peter]’s first CT scanner, the new one is dead simple, and should be much faster, too. Whether those radiology professors and biomed folk will be heading out to [Dr. Jansen]’s back alley CT scan shop is another question entirely, but it’s still an amazing example of what can be done with a laser cutter and an order from Mouser. | <urn:uuid:6f30872a-a471-45ef-af55-a77d7869ebc2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hackaday.com/tag/check-source/ | 2023-09-26T06:24:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.923163 | 575 |
STRAIGHT TALK by Hafeez Khan
Hans Christian Anderson, a Danish author wrote scores of fairy tales impacting generations. I remember reading them as a child. “The Emperor Has No Clothes”’ was first published in 1837, with roots dating back centuries traceable to Indian folklore. An extremely vain, proud and ruthless emperor spent lavishly on his clothes at the expense of state matters.
He was conned by two swindlers, posing as weavers. They convinced the emperor that they can spin a magnificent dress invisible only to the “stupid”. Upon supposed completion, they mime dressing him for a citywide procession. The townsfolk see the emperor naked, but out of fear go along with the pretense until a child blurts “the emperor has no clothes”. Emperor is startled but continues to walk more proudly than ever. That is what is happening in Pakistan. Swindlers and vanity have combined to lead us into a bottomless pit. The emperor stands exposed.
Gallup Pakistan’s Ijaz Shafi Gillani was President of Karachi University Students Union at the same time I led PUSU. I follow their reports to stay informed. In their latest report on TV programs 59% of time was spent on politics, 19% on legal matters and only 6% was spent discussingthe disastrous economic conditions in the country. We are headed for a train wreck yet everyone wants to brush the topic under the carpet.
Pakistan is headed for financial default end June or latest in the next quarter. Yet this authoritarian regime enforcers are totally pre-occupied with suppression using a big hammer. Their joker allies in government are egging them on; blinded by their obsession of removing IK from the political scene. Imagine Pakistan as a big pond; we have a crocodile let loose in it that devours everything coming its way. Constitution is un-enforceable; Courts are paralyzed; women are being brutalized in public and in custody; political workers are being treated worse than enemy combatants; and Army Courts are being commissioned as the flagship of brutality.
This State sponsored chaos is leading to the tightening of economic noose around Pakistan’s neck. Remittances and exports have tanked; economic growth has sunk; tax collection is in negative territory; inflation is emasculating the common folk’s ability to survive and corruption is at itshighest levels. Our lender of last resort – IMF wantsConstitution upheld and human rights restored; otherwise no deal. This was in response to a former scrap dealer now our PM reaching out directly to IMF chief; he was put in place. In complex financial systems, such attempts end up in the dustbin; leaving errant party licking their wounds. Without an IMF program friendly countries cannot offer a bailout.
Pakistan is entirely reliant on 32 billion dollars remitted annually by 10 million Overseas Pakistanis. A huge majority of them are totally outraged by this brutality unfolding every day by “unknown persons”. The enforcers’ruthlessness has all the markings of a of disciplined forceacting under the orders of their commanders. Unfortunately these commanders have the wisdom of mindless street fighters. This outrage could easily morph into a resolve to punish the perpetuators for violating human rights by withholding or reducing remittances. It would lead to a total collapse of our fragile economy.
People at my age find it difficult to form new friendships. However, every so often one comes across a gem that needs to be valued like my friend Dr Zia Virk in USA. He is apolitical yet his passion for Pakistan has motivated him to speak up against this massive abuse of power. There are hundreds of thousands like him. Those blinded by power of the gun beware the wrath of Overseas Pakistanis.
Imran Khan is facing the full brunt of this onslaught. As layers of PTI’s weak–kneed leaders are peeled off, IK is becoming a symbol of the suppressed desire to be rid of culprits who have looted Pakistan. This is beyond being a political leader; he has become a part of the hearts and minds of Pakistanis. Shutting him out of state controlled media will not work in 2023. The closed door planners are using techniques of 70’s and 80’s that get exposed within days. Deep State or the Establishment stand exposed like the electric wires in rundown slum. The whole drama enacted on May 9th being used as watershed event to mow down opponents stands totally exposed. Watch the BBC documentary on social media. This amateurish ruse was poorly planned and executed; it makes its authors look like buffoons before the whole world.
I share personal anecdotes about IK in articles to highlight his traits that would be of interest to intellectuals or scholars and to bring them on record for history. In 2002 I was part of PTI’s election team. Through my close friend Raja Anwar, IK and few close associates met with ISI’s internal wing chief. Midway during discussions, IK took offense to some of the demands raised and the meeting ended abruptly. In a follow up discussion with IK at his E7 residence; as a political hack I argued that unless we are part of the power structure, we have a long and arduous journey. IK stood firm saying “Hafeez I don’t want power without the backing of the masses”. His wife Jemima stood firmly behind him. Two decades later that time has come. IK lives in the hearts and minds of people. Political manipulations will come to a naught, as it happened many times before. | <urn:uuid:9452d7c5-9709-42d4-9249-c1982b91d5df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hafeezkhanofficial.com.pk/2023/06/02/the-emperor-has-no-clothes/ | 2023-09-26T06:46:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.970258 | 1,162 |
Eachway put theta measures the change in the fair value of an eachway put due to a change in time to expiry. Eachway put theta is the first derivative of the eachway put fair value with respect to a change in time to expiry. It is depicted as:
where P is the fair value of the eachway put and t is time to expiry.
Evaluating Eachway Put Theta
Eachway Put Theta = R1 x Digital Put Theta(K1) + R2 x Digital Put Theta(K2)
where the terms to the right are the digital put theta with strikes K1 and K2 respectively, K1 being the lower strike, and
where R1 + R2 = 1 and where R1 < R2.
Theta Over Time
The 100:25:0 ratio eachway put fair value and eachway put theta (Figures 1a & 1b) are displayed against time to expiry. By comparing the 8 day profile (yellow) with the 0.5 day profile (red) one can intuitively figure out the theta at any point of the underlying price.
For example: at 98.20 the 0.5 day profile is above the 8 day profile so as time passes the eachway put rises in value therefore establishing a positive theta.
Starting at an asset price of 102.00 (to the extreme right of the lower scale) and moving to the left the theta starts negative or zero as both individual digital put options are out-of-the-money. As the underlying approaches the upper strike of 101.00 theta rises to pass through the strike and immediately below the strike price is positive. As the asset price falls further, dependant on how much time to expiry is left, the theta increasingly becomes influenced by the lower strike of 98.50. With 0.2 days to expiry, midway between the strikes neither strike exerts influence with theta flat at zero.
As the asset price moves lower towards 98.50 the lower strike now dominates the profile of the theta, increasingly so the less time to expiry.
|European Digitals||Eachway Put||Eachway Put Delta||Eachway Put Gamma||Eachway Put Vega|
Theta and Volatility
Figures 2a & 2b provide 100:50:0 theta over a range of implied volatilities.
Although the 2% implied volatility profile presents the same wave pattern as the Figure 1b, 0.5 day profile, the higher implied volatility profiles are a very smooth rise as the asset price falls from 102.00 to 98.00.
Since the ratio is 100:50:0 the thetas all intersect roughly midway between the strikes at 99.75. In effect the higher the implied volatility and the 100:50:0 ratio generates a very uniform theta profile. In fact if Figure 2b was revolved 180° the profiles would look almost exactly the same. | <urn:uuid:61e4e2f8-3acc-4282-94a6-eaec17adfbe3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hamishraw.com/digital-options/european-digital-options/eachway-puts/eachway-put-theta/ | 2023-09-26T06:08:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.900673 | 620 |
Birds of a Feather
My walk was a little shorter today and my time on the bench was interrupted. As I walked home I thought about the birds I had been watching. The littlest birds stayed near the ground and bushes. Two sweet ones popped their heads up from a bush when I walked by and immediately dipped back into the bush. The little sparrows and bush tits at the playground were eating near their “home base,” but kept popping their heads up… ever watchful of danger.
The mid-sized birds, like the mockingbird and gnat catchers were on higher ground and in trees. They seemed to spend a lot of time flying house top to house top.
The largest birds, like the crows and hawk, spend most of their time flying in the air, riding the currents. It seemed to me that they always had a direction or goal in sight as they moved deliberately through the air from spot to spot.
I began to think of our walk as Christians…
Littlest Birds: When we’re baby Christians, we’re hungry, but are often popping back into the world. Am I really saved? Can I just test this little thing out and get away with it? Fear still rules. Is that sin really forgiven? Can I truly walk this walk?
Mid-Sized Birds: These birds seem a lot more confident in their perches. They still camper, but seem to rest and drink in the scenery a lot more. They’re not as skittish and watchful. They seem more secure. I also noted that they seem to travel in pairs more. As maturing Christians, the Word is more established in our lives. We begin to test the waters of ministry. We’re learning to rest in the Lord.
Large Birds: They sore to heights. They like the highest heights and search them out to perch. They seem more relaxed with less effort as they fly. Yes, they still flap their wings, but they can also coast on the wind’s currents. They have a direction and goal. The crow and hawk don’t cry as much, but when they do, it’s longer and more piercing with an echo effect. As mature Christians, we’ve gained a sense of security in our walk and begin to truly work with the Holy Spirit.
This must be like our stages as we come to know the Lord better. We grow stronger and we see greater distances. We reach new heights… bigger than ourselves. The revelation of heaven opens in stages as well. | <urn:uuid:214f7b81-44d4-4c30-830d-eee31c8f6a0d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://handmaiden.org/2010/01/08/january-8-2010-birds-of-a-feather-stick-together/ | 2023-09-26T04:56:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.984043 | 534 |
Under His Protection
I had the privilege of attending a worship-only service with a friend. While we were singing, I had two visions:
- During the song where we sang, “I am free!” I saw a beautiful field with a Maypole in the center. There were multi-colored streamers extended from it. We were grabbing them with our hands. We were dancing, skipping, and leaping joyfully.Interpretation: Jesus is the Maypole and it is symbolic of His cross. His cross has set us free.
- Towards the end of the worship service, I saw an umbrella in the sky. We were standing under the umbrella and it was raining on us. The rain came down on us from UNDER the umbrella… not outside the umbrella.Interpretation: I saw the umbrella handle again as the Cross of Jesus.
The scripture that came to me was Matthew 23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.”
Another that spoke to me was Isaiah’s vision of The Lord of Hosts (Isaiah 6:1-3)
In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. 2 Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory.”
Ruth, from Moab, a Righteous Gentile
(Editor’s Note: Source)
The Rabbis tell us that Ruth placed herself under the shadow of God’s Wings (The Divine Presence) by uncovering the skirt at Boaz’s feet and slipping herself under that garment. Rav Shlomo ben Yitzchok, better known as Rashi said, “corner of a garment, i.e. place the corner of your garment over me as a token of marriage.” And according to Rabbi Shmuel de Uzeda who wrote a large commentary on Ruth, entitled Iggeres Shmuel, “take me as your wife with a proper wedding ceremony.” Can you guess what that skirt or garment was? Here’s a clue: it had “wings” on all 4 of its corners?
That’s right, it’s the skirt or garment with the Tzitziot (plural of Tzitzit) on it that was spread over her, a prayer shawl! She was under the shadow of EL Shaddai’s Wings and it brought her into His Presence, and Boaz had to try and redeemed her. That is just what Yeshua Messiah does for all who come into His Presence, under His Wings. | <urn:uuid:92c4ebd0-5487-4750-9e4f-707107c475b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://handmaiden.org/2012/04/24/under-his-protection/ | 2023-09-26T06:45:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.981143 | 647 |

The role of the family when dealing with drug abuse and addiction is a huge one. Family therapy can have a huge impact in conquering the drug abuse and addiction that has affected, most likely, every aspect of your family dynamics. It’s not an easy road to walk on, but when family therapy is implemented, you all will learn how to deal with drug abuse and addiction in a healthy and productive way.
When your loved one is in a rehab clinic, you will likely be asked to attend family therapy sessions on site. This is an extremely important part of the recovery process. You may be hesitant to attend these sessions, but rest assured that they will be life-affirming for not only you, but your loved one as well.
Often, the person who has the addiction is feeling alone and withdrawn from the family. That could be the reason why he or she began using in the first place. People who abuse drugs are looking for a way to fit in – a tool to help them be part of something when they feel alone. That often has to do with feeling alienated from the family.
When you participate in family therapy, you are telling your loved one that you care about them and their recovery and that it is important to you. If you find yourself resistant to participation, just keep in mind that you are there to learn and to help. It is important to show your support when a loved one has an abuse or addiction problem with drugs.
Family therapy can actually strengthen your family in ways you never even considered before. What family can’t use a little advice and guidance when it comes to their lives?
In today’s world, dysfunction is a family dynamic that is all too common. When you are participating in family therapy for drug abuse and addiction, you are saying that you want something to change within that family dynamic and make it better than it is. You may think you have the “perfect” family, but no one really does. A little soul searching can go a long way – especially for the family member who is struggling with abuse and addiction.
Substance abuse affects families – there’s no doubt about that. Whether your loved one is in an inpatient or outpatient program, it’s essential that you obtain family therapy for drug abuse or addiction in some shape or form. You’ll all be much better for it, and your loved one will have an easier time becoming drug-free. | <urn:uuid:73c5008a-f360-40a5-a4ac-dc0d899dcf88> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hasenchat.info/family-therapy-with-drug-abuse-and-addiction/ | 2023-09-26T06:36:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.97387 | 501 |

2022 financial goals: Your mid-year check-in
The year may be half over, but there’s still plenty of time to work toward your 2022 financial goals. There’s also time to change direction and start working toward something new.
Believe it or not, 2022 is half over—and whether you’re spending your summer vacationing with your family, going back to the office or figuring out how to deal with inflation, it’s worth squeezing in a few minutes to check in with your 2022 financial goals.
For some of you, this process will feel extremely familiar—especially if you set 2022 financial resolutions with us back in January and followed our February financial resolution check-in. You already know how you’re doing, what you want to do next and how to overcome some of the obstacles that might get in the way.
For everyone else, let’s just say that there’s still time. Maybe you’re further behind on your financial goals than you thought you would be, when you set them back in January—or maybe you didn’t set any goals at all. Either way, there’s still plenty of opportunity to make positive financial decisions.
There’s even still time to set a few 2022 financial resolutions—and achieve them!
“There’s no reason why a resolution has to be set on January 1st,” explains Jim Wang, founder of WalletHacks. “You can set a new resolution today or tomorrow.”
Here’s how to get started:
In this article:
Review your goals
If you already have your 2022 financial resolutions in place, it’s time to review your progress.
“Since you’re at the mid-year point, you should be close to halfway towards your financial goals,” says Steffa Mantilla, founder of Money Tamer and Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI). “If you aren’t at the halfway point, that’s completely fine—but take the time to assess why you’ve fallen short.”
There are many reasons why you could be less than halfway towards your 2022 financial goals. You might have experienced an unexpected job loss or medical emergency, for example. You might have decided to divert some of your discretionary income towards another financial priority, such as a long-postponed vacation or a family reunion. Even if you made it through the first half of 2022 without any major unanticipated expenses, you might have had trouble balancing your budget against the rising costs of inflation.
“Sometimes goals take longer to achieve through no fault of your own, and that’s all right,” Mantilla explains. “Instead of getting discouraged, focus on the progress you have made and celebrate those wins.”
You may also find yourself falling behind on your 2022 financial goals for reasons that have less to do with unexpected expenses and more to do with a lack of positive action. “If you’ve been slacking,” says Mantilla, “figure out what it might take to get back on track.”
This also goes for those of you who haven’t set your 2022 financial resolutions. Figure out where you want to be at the end of the year, and then ask yourself what it might take to get there. “Sometimes you can still reach your financial goals if you take on an extra job or work overtime,” Mantilla advises.
“There’s no reason why a resolution has to be set on January 1st. You can set a new resolution today or tomorrow.”—Jim Wang, founder of WalletHacks
Review your budget
In addition to reviewing your 2022 financial goals, it’s also important to review your budget.
“If there’s ever been a year that requires a mid-year checkup on your budget, it’s 2022,” explains Matt Schulz, Chief Credit Analyst at LendingTree. “Lots of those assumptions that you made about expenses at the first of the year have probably been blown out of the water by inflation, so it is important to tweak your budget to account for higher costs.”
Even if you don’t have a budget, it’s still a good idea to sit down with your bank and credit card statements and take a close look at where your money is going. “You can’t make a meaningful plan to attack debt or grow savings without understanding exactly how much money is going in and out of your household each month,” says Schulz. “There’s a good chance that at least one of those two parts of the equation has changed significantly this year.”
Once you know how much money you’re spending on groceries, gas and other day-to-day expenses—and whether those numbers are, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests, 8.3% higher than they were last year—you can start making decisions that can help you balance your budget and put more money towards your financial goals.
You can also use this information to take a more realistic look at your 2022 financial resolutions—and ask yourself which resolutions are still achievable. “If you need to, remove the goals that you likely won’t reach this year and put them on the list for next year,” Mantilla advises.
Take positive action
Once you know what you want to achieve and how it fits into your overall budget, it’s time to start taking action. Focus on positive actions over negative ones—that is, focus on the kinds of actions and improvements that are more likely to add to your life than take away from it. That way, you’ll be more likely to stick with the actions long-term.
In some cases, you’ll know what actions are likely to have the biggest results. If you’re overspending, for example, you might want to unsubscribe to a few streaming services and take advantage of no-cost entertainment options at your local library (or around town — summer is a golden season for free concerts, festivals, outdoor movie screenings and more). Unsubscribing may feel like a negative, but after a week or two, it’ll be easy to feel positive about your decision — you might not even notice what you’re missing.
In other cases, you may want to do some research into which actions could have the biggest positive impact—because you might uncover a few ideas you hadn’t previously considered, such as lowering your credit card interest rates so you can pay off your debt more quickly.
“Calling your card issuer and asking them for a lower interest rate on your primary credit card can be a great idea,” explains Schulz. “About 70% of those who asked for that in the past year got their way, and the average reduction was 7 percentage points, which is a big deal.”
Make a non-financial resolution
Want one more tip to help you achieve your 2022 financial goals? Make a non-financial resolution. Deciding to improve another area of your life—even if the improvement has nothing to do with money—can give you the motivation you need to tackle some of your more difficult financial challenges.
Plus, you’ll get all of the benefits that come with achieving your non-financial goal.
What kind of non-financial resolution should you make? Wang suggests focusing on small changes that have big impacts. “Maybe it’s getting to bed 15 minutes earlier. Maybe it’s preparing lunch at home one day a week. Maybe it’s something as simple as going for a ten-minute walk each day to stretch your legs and refresh your mind.”
Schulz also believes in the importance of refreshing your mind. “It’s so easy to doom-scroll the day away, but it is so important for your mental health that you avoid that as much as possible. When the headlines get to be too much, or your stress level about your job or your emergency fund or your retirement account get to be too overwhelming, step away. Find something healthy and relaxing to take you away from that intensity.”
The best non-financial resolutions not only relax and refresh, but also give you the confidence to make other positive changes in your life—whether you want to work toward one of the financial goals that you set at the beginning of 2022, or whether you want to set a new financial resolution.
“Start building something small that you can be proud of in December,” says Wang. That way, you’ll be ready to celebrate everything you’ve done in 2022—and set new financial resolutions for 2023.

Simple and well-designed process for buying life insurance
Life insurance is an industry that seems stuck in the past - things like completing an application, filling out paperwork, scheduling medical exams, etc. are not handled online at many companies. At Haven Life all of this can be done and tracked online, and I hope that others in the industry will follow suit. Other positives include that pricing was competitive and easily available through an easy online quote. It was also possible to adjust the specifics of the policy throughout the process, even after underwriting was complete - changing my mind on one small detail did not require restarting the process. The underwriting process proceeded quickly. I was easily able to gain access to my lab results online. Etc. The process was easy at every step.

An annual story could be written by filling in the blanks on the sentence below:
Famous person (insert name here) unexpectedly passed away of (cause of death), leaving behind (#) children, their spouse (spouses name), and an estate worth an estimated (insert some number of millions of dollars). They died without a will.
The list of celebrities who died without a will is long and continues to grow every year. And even some, who initially make a will, can fail to update their documents. It’s best to make sure you don’t leave to chance what happens to your assets if you pass away.
Creating a will is a critical first step, but it’s not a one-time event. Similar to purchasing a life insurance policy, it’s a piece of your financial life that should be revisited regularly to ensure it is up to date. Here are some examples of life events that should have you calling your estate planning attorney for an update.
Here are some events and times that you need to update your will:
Birth of a child
For many people, the birth of a child is the impetus to first put together a will. It’s a critical step to protecting your child, especially when they are minors and you must name a guardian for them. The will should be updated for each new child, as you may have different wishes on guardianship as your life changes. For example, let’s say a couple who wrote their will after their first two children, and then never updated it again for 20 years after they had two more children. If anything happened to the couple, their youngest two children would not get anything from their estate and their assets would be split between the two oldest children.
Some states will allow you to write a will to leave your assets to all of your children, in equal parts, and thus it would update automatically upon the birth of additional children, but consult an estate planning attorney to see if that’s possible where you live.
Marriage or divorce
When you get married, it’s likely a major change in who you’re sharing your financial life with. Many young people who have gotten a will may have split their property amongst siblings or other family members, but now have a spouse that should be included. Similarly, if you and your spouse are divorcing, you should each create new wills that dictate your wishes as a single person.
State laws vary widely, so if you move to a new state, it’s time to update your will. A will may be valid in one state, but have provisions that are invalid in another, leaving the fate of your wishes to a judge in your new state. This is especially key if you move to a state that has an inheritance or estate tax. While the federal estate and gift tax exemption is now at $11.4 million per individual, many states have much lower limits and thus the tax impacts many more people. Updating your will, and possibly using trusts or other estate planning techniques, is critical to help you want to pass along as much of your estate as possible to your family.
A large cash infusion
Maybe you sold your business or inherited a large sum of money yourself. Perhaps the company you work for went public, giving you more money in one year than you’d earned in the previous decade. If you have an event that dramatically increases your net worth, it’s time to update your will. You may have new gifts you want to specify or charitable giving you want to put in writing.
And update your will periodically
A will is a document you should regularly review to ensure it matches your current life. It’s so easy to have many little changes occur, and not realize that what you wrote five years ago is wildly out of date. Set an annual calendar reminder to review your will. Pull it out, read it over, and make sure everything in it still makes sense. If it does, tuck it back away until next year. Having a periodic review can help you avoid missing significant life changes.
If you don’t yet have a will, you have many options to create one. As an added feature for those who have put life insurance protection into place with a Haven Term policy issued by MassMutual, the Haven Life Plus rider, included with the Haven Term policy, offers access to a digital will for policyholders and their partners at no cost from Trust & Will. With the service, you can create your will in minutes, store online and update anytime.

There are a number of great enhancements for eDrawings 2019. We want to cover new features in eDrawings standard (the free viewer) as well as graphical performance enhancements, the new ability to view SOLIDWORKS configurations on native files, and an all-new web HTML export in eDrawings Professional.
eDrawings Professional is an enhanced version of the free viewer that is available for purchase or bundled with SOLIDWORKS Professional and higher CAD packages. In the past, eDrawings Professional included a number of useful exclusive features – including the ability to measure, section and mark up your documents.
Features Comparison of eDrawings Releases
For 2019, all previously existing features of eDrawings Professional have been pushed down to the free viewer! This means every license of eDrawings has the ability to measure, section and mark up, among other things. See the tables below for a detailed breakdown:
It is also worth noting that this enhancement pertains to the desktop version of eDrawings, mobile versions still retain their feature segmentation between versions.
Graphics Performance Enhancements
The other major enhancement to eDrawings 2019 worth discussing is the graphics performance enhancements. Realizing these benefits will require a decent graphics card and enabling the “Graphics Boost” option within eDrawings, shown below:
On the hardware I tested the performance of rotating, panning and zooming in eDrawings 2019, and it is several times faster than 2018. Words don’t do it justice, so see for yourself on the video below:
As a reminder, you can download eDrawings viewer for free and open your SOLIDWORKS native CAD files, as well as a wide range of other CAD and neutral files.
Check out the video below to learn more about the new ability to view SOLIDWORKS configurations on native files, as well as an all-new web HTML export in eDrawings Professional:
In order for eDrawings 2019 to view configurations on SOLIDWORKS native files, it requires placing “Display Data Marks” on each configuration you want accessible. This is done from within SOLIDWORKS by right clicking the appropriate configurations. Enabling these Data Marks will increase the SOLIDWORKS file size and the time it takes to save, as additional graphics data is stored for each configuration. After saving the SOLIDWORKS file with the Display Data Marks, those configurations will be accessible when opening the file in eDrawings.
Exporting HTML Files
2019 also brings an all-new web HTML export option to eDrawings Professional. eDrawings has long had the ability to export ActiveX based HTML files, but these required special plugins which limited browser compatibility. The new web HTML export works on any web browser or mobile device I’ve tested, and displays great performance and nearly the full feature set of the eDrawings viewer.
I’d encourage you to check out the video where we walk through many of the options of the new web HTML export, or you can try these samples yourself at the links below:
This new web HTML export can only be accomplished from within eDrawings Professional 2019. I expect in the future we will see other new features like this included as the functionality of eDrawings Professional is expanded. | <urn:uuid:0c61fb1d-8c6e-47e5-8d84-c74961a0dbc6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hawkridgesys.com/blog/whats-new-in-edrawings-2019 | 2023-09-26T05:49:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.908225 | 680 |

It is a well-documented threat that the United States is currently facing a shortage of physicians, a trend which is expected to exacerbate in the near future. According to one study conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the U.S. will face a shortage of as many as 120,000 physicians by 2030. This projection is particularly harrowing given the critical need for physicians to treat an aging population, which by 2030 is predicted to increase by 50%. While several legislative proposals are on the table to address these issues, these efforts have largely been stymied by the congressional process. Accordingly, many hospitals and medical practices have turned to foreign-trained or educated physicians to help alleviate this staffing shortfall.
The current predicament facing U.S. employers attempting to ameliorate physician shortages through efforts such as the recruitment of foreign-educated or trained physicians, has become more difficult given the current Trump Administration’s “Buy American and Hire American Executive Order”, which purports to safeguard and promote American workers, as well as difficulties in applying and obtaining green card applications and visas, and in particular H-1B visas which support approximately 25% of current foreign medical residents training in the U.S.
While there are certain non-monetary hurdles to overcome when recruiting a foreign-trained physician, such as admission to a U.S. medical residency program and navigating the current regulatory complexities of the Trump Administration’s policies and proposals for immigration reform, there are various financial considerations that have both business implications as well as potential healthcare fraud and abuse regulatory implications. Examples of such financial considerations include the fees associated with a physician’s application for naturalization and other related fees, sign-on bonuses and relocation allowances.
FMV Pitfall: When determining the FMV of compensation under professional services and employment arrangements, healthcare operators and employers must stay informed regarding the potential nuances in taxable compensation considerations as well as changes in U.S. regulatory policies and laws. In the context of physician recruitment of foreigners, it is imperative to understand which benefits (for example, assistance with fees associated with a visa application) may ultimately have implications on taxable income, and therefore FMV compensation. | <urn:uuid:0f2f3cda-a496-40ac-96c3-a8563ad0ad35> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://healthcareappraisers.com/special-fair-market-value-fmv-considerations-for-international-physicians/ | 2023-09-26T05:06:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.97054 | 482 |
Health Journalism 2011: Thursday Workshops
Data can drive stories - in the form of maps, data or charts. This workshop session will give attendees a tutorial on how to use AHCJ's expanding data collection - with tricks to filter, sort and analyze their way to story ideas. Also on the agenda: How health journalists can use a free tool through AHCJ - online, interactive mapping to visualize key elements in the health of a community. Beyond those resources, you can continue to follow along to explore and make the most of top online data tools.

What do you think needs to be included in stories about research on new treatments, tests, products and procedures? The HealthNewsReview.org project has put its stake in the ground that there are 10 criteria that deserve attention. They may not be perfect, but if they're not, what criteria do you use? In this interactive workshop, you'll look at some studies, dismantle some stories and decide - perhaps in ways you never have before - what's essential. Whether fairly new to the beat or just uncertain about how to evaluate evidence, journalists of any skill and experience level will learn from this opportunity.
• Harold Demonaco, director, Innovation Support Center, Massachusetts General Hospital
Increasingly in the digital age, a solid story or project has to resonate in three distinctly different formats: print, broadcast and online. But how do journalists effectively navigate these different formats? This workshop will offer tips for developing a strategy, organizing your project for three lenses and enhancing your story through the Web. The instructors will even offer simple ways to integrate video, audio and interactive elements to drive page views.

A brain aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel in the brain begins to bulge. Many brain aneurysms cause no problems, but sometimes they rupture or leak. That can be life-threatening and cause brain damage. Brain aneurysm surgery involves putting a clip on the vein where it is beginning to bulge.
Ruptured vs. Unruptured Aneurysms
If an aneurysm ruptures, surgery must be done immediately and is more dangerous. Patients will need to stay in the hospital longer. If surgery is performed before the aneurysm ruptures, there is less risk and patients will be discharged sooner.
Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit
Patients stay in a recovery room for a few hours after surgery before being transferred to the neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU), where they will be closely monitored. Patients with an unruptured aneurysm usually stay in the NICU for 24 to 48 hours. Patients that had a ruptured aneurysm will stay in the NICU much longer.
Patients are then transferred to the neurological floor for at least one week, maybe much longer. There doctors will evaluate how much damage was caused by the aneurysm and determine whether or not rehabilitation services are needed.
Patients with an unruptured aneurysm may require little rehabilitation. However, those with ruptured aneurysms may require weeks or even months of rehab. Rehabilitation may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and neuropsychological therapy that works to improve skills like memory and concentration.
Some patients make a full recovery while others will always have some degree of impairment. Prognosis varies depending on whether or not the aneurysm ruptured and the extent of the damage done.

NDX Apr to May Ratio Rollover Table 19th April 2018
Just brilliant, what a fantastic expiry for the NDX, not quite perfect, but we are more than happy with its performance nevertheless.
Considering its journey to finish just 8-points above its zone on the appointed Wednesday is easily close enough for us to take as a success.
To reiterate Y2 was at 6325 and this index finished the March expiry at 7019.95, so almost three weeks later when the low was 6322.60 (2nd April) and then confirmed with 6326.54 (4th April) we were actually more than happy with just calling the bottom.
So, to get back to its zone for the rollover is just an added bonus, and no mean feat as last Friday it closed at 6628.34, so it still had a lot of work to do.
The fact it has recovered virtually 500-points is the main reason why being just a measly 8-points out is truly insignificant.
But, what a journey, 700-points down to Y2 then another 500-points back, which is a staggering 17.1% in 5-weeks. Far more enjoyable than going in a straight line one-way, which, incidentally, would have meant it being at 8220.20 today.
Range: 6775 to 6825 or 6825 to 7100
Type: On balance bearish
Still a couple of days to go before MAY becomes the alpha expiry, but still no R ratios, however it is worth remembering that at this point in April’s expiry there was not even any Y2 ratios in evidence.
The main point to note is that the zone here is 200-points below April’s, which may of course change, but again it is worth remembering that at this stage in April the zone was a massive 150-points, so there may not be any R ratios but what there is already has a little bit more depth.
Nevertheless, unless it changes dramatically, always possible, it is more of the same.
Range: 6625 to 7375 | <urn:uuid:ef26d1b3-4b8d-42f9-9352-096d0f1e40ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hedgeratioanalysis.com/fantastic-ndx-down-to-y2-and-back-to-its-zone-for-17-1-todays-rollover-table-levels-and-comment | 2023-09-26T07:01:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.97116 | 480 |

Create a new qualification group
Create a new qualificatio scale
A qualification group stands for a generic term like “Language skills” for example. To classify this group you need a scale with appropriate scale values like “Beginner”, “Advanced learner” and “Experts”. The concrete qualification, which can be achieved is “Command of English” or “Command of French”. If the user (learner) processes a learning object successfully, he/she gets the qualification “Command of English, beginner” for example.
Define first, which qualifications with which characteristics can be done. In this example:
- Qualification: English
- Characteristics: Basic knowledge, very good knowledge, business fluent
Create qualification scale and qualification scale values
To create a qualification scale first, choose Resources → Qualification scale → New Qualification scale.
Enter a title for the qualification scale, for example school grades, if the scale values should be in accordance with the current grading system.
Enter an appropriate external reference.
External references are used for organizing and for linking to other systems. This you can use for manual assignments and by using interfaces (REST API). The external reference is a reference value like ID, sequence number or name.
To create individual values for the scale, click on the button Create scale value.
Create qualification group and qualification
You summarize several qualifications in a qualification group. The qualification group “Language skills” contains for example the qualifications “English”, “French” and “Italian”. To create a qualification group with qualifications, choose Resources → Qualifications group → New qualification group.
Enter a title and a teaser for your favored languages.
Define the starting and end date regarding the acquired qualifications on the learning pathand select a standard qualification scale.
To create a new qualification, click on the button Create qualification. In the opening dialog window Edit qualification you can enter title and teaser (optional) for the qualification. Then you select on the tab Parameters the starting and end date and the qualification scale.
You can activate an automatic downgrading of the qualification by setting the check mark Activate automatic downgrading and enter the number of the days, after which the downgrading of the scale value achieved should start. Note that this only affects qualifications that are achieved after this setting has been made.
Mathilda can display this downgrading process on the tab Qualifications on her Achievements page in the user frontend. Her superior Tom Hedgehog can display this downgrading process also in his Employees view. He can also edit or delete this qualification in his cockpit via the Employees view on the tab Qualifications.
Furthermore these downgradings of the qualification are shown in the Qualification training inventory entries (Training history) for Mathilda Green and Tom Hedgehog.
Then you enter the external reference if required. Furthermore you can enter the requirements on the tab Description of requirements of a given value on qualifications scale. You can enter “No requirement” under “Beginner with no experience” for example.

Nadal Hasan has been convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder. The crimes entitle him to a death penalty … which he says he desires.
My admonition to the military court that convicted him is to sentence him to life in prison. And by life I mean “life,” as in for as long as that animal draws breath.
Hasan, a psychiatrist and a major in the U.S. Army, represented himself in a trial. He has acknowledged killing 13 people Nov. 5, 2009 in that horrific massacre at Fort Hood, Texas. He didn’t mount a defense when it came time to do so. The jury that heard the evidence offered by prosecutors deliberated and then came back with the guilty verdict — as if they needed any time to actually ponder the evidence.
Now comes the punishment phase. Hasan killed those people as part of an Islamic jihad. He is a Muslim extremist who did not want to serve in Afghanistan. Well, he got his wish by committing that dastardly deed.
He also wants to be martyred. Dying at the hands of the U.S. government would, in his demented mind, earn him martyr status. But not just his in own so-called mind. He also would become a martyr to other extremists around the world who would rejoice at the thought of this individual being put to death by the “Great Satan.”
Deny him that martyr status. Toss him into the darkest hole possible and let him serve his time with other unspeakably violent criminals. | <urn:uuid:7c07a92a-6cb1-47ed-8ebd-a1f18dc6d21a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://highplainsblogger.com/?p=3347 | 2023-09-26T06:30:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.982655 | 375 |

About the end of the second century, the Gospels were reverenced as sacred books by a community dispersed over the world, composed of men of different nations and languages. There were, to say the least, sixty thousand copies of them in existence; they were read in the churches of Christians; they were continually quoted, and appealed to, as of the highest authority; their reputation was as well established among believers, from one end of the Roman empire to the other, as it is at the present day among Christians in any country. But it is asserted, that, before that period, we find no trace of their existence; and it is therefore inferred, that they were not in common use, and but little known, even if extant in their present form. This reasoning is of the same kind as if one were to say that the first mention of Egyptian Thebes is in the poems of Homer. He, indeed, describes it as a city which poured a hundred armies from its hundred gates; but his is the first mention of it, and therefore we have no reason to suppose, that, before his time, it was a place of any considerable note.

Finding the scattered remains of the 14-year-old English girl we now call “Jane” did not seem unusual at first when they appeared in the L-shaped cellar last summer. There are hundreds of burials scattered across the James Fort area, and different eras of construction have disturbed many of those burials.
In the 20 years of the Jamestown Rediscovery Project, archaeologists have fully excavated 90 burials of European men, women and children. These individuals include some of the original gentlemen, laborers, at least one Indian war casualty, and a captain found just outside the fort walls.
The archaeologists have also mapped hundreds of unmarked graves to complete the picture of life and death at Jamestown.
Burials tell more of the story of the settlement than just written accounts and artifacts can tell, according to Dr. William M. Kelso, head of archaeological research at Historic Jamestowne.
“Literally coming face-to-face with the remains of the real people of early Jamestown brings home, in a very personal way, the full story of the settlement effort,” Kelso said.
The study of more than 70 individuals in an unmarked burial ground on the western end of the island provided information on a cross-section of the population that suffered the hardships of early Jamestown. The burials were beneath the foundations of the 1660s Statehouse on the western end of the island (where the Voorhees Archaearium building stands today).
Over 18 months, the Jamestown Rediscovery team excavated 63 graves and recovered the skeletal remains of 72 individuals. Some of the burials were shallow and haphazard. Some shafts held multiple burials: 10 graves held two burials each, and one shaft had three burials in it. These graves may date to the “starving time” winter of 1609-10—the same time when Jane died.
Some of the people in this burial ground were interred wearing their clothing, which was unusual for the time because clothing was in extremely short supply and considered part of a person’s estate. Perhaps the burial of a person who died from an infectious disease would be done hastily, in a way that minimized contact with the victim’s skin.
Analysis of these graves gives more insight into the harsh Jamestown experience. While the age of death ranged from infancy to the late 40s, almost half the population died in their twenties: men 21 to 25, women 26 to 30. Fourteen percent of them died before age two. Most were adult males, but the sample also includes adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults. There is some evidence for childhood malnutrition and disease and strenuous physical activity among the adults.
And sometimes the bones of one individual are the dramatic story. The discovery of Jane provides the first forensic evidence of survival cannibalism in Colonial America.
During the 2012 field season, Kelso and the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeological team excavated a cellar room found within the 1607 James Fort site. The space was used as a kitchen/bakery with two masonry ovens. When abandoned, the cellar was filled in with 1609-1610 “starving time” refuse. Lying among butchered animal bones and other artifacts discarded by the colonists during the “starving time” winter of 1609-1610, archaeologists found the partial skull and leg bone of the 17th-century English girl.
Kelso said the team has occasionally found other human bones and teeth that show no signs of processing for survival cannibalism, likely separated from original unmarked burials by early earth moving activities by the colonists. In 20 years of digging, the Jamestown Rediscovery team has found four damaged skulls not in graves. Two exhibited signs of trauma but not survival cannibalism. (One had a surgical trephination done to relieve cranial pressure in response to a skull fracture and then underwent an autopsy. Marks on the other skull show that the individual sustained a mortal blow to the head.)
But Kelso recognized Jane’s remains could be different. They were found in soil used by the settlers to fill in the abandoned cellar—soil that also contained butchered horses and dogs that were eaten during the desperate winter of 1609-1610. All of this refuse was first accumulated in a common trash pit and then ultimately redeposited when Governor De La Warr and his men arrived and proceeded to “cleanse” the town.
Study of the cellar bones by the Smithsonian Institution determined that soft tissue had been cut from the bones, evidence of cannibalism. This confirmed several documentary accounts of survival cannibalism during the depths of the “starving time” winter. This discovery brings Jane back to remind us of how close Jamestown came to failing before it endured as the first permanent English colony in North America. | <urn:uuid:2869fc1f-7fd2-4336-9c56-78d8ad0906a9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://historicjamestowne.org/june-2013-2/ | 2023-09-26T05:21:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.965444 | 1,012 |
The generous soul is welcome to all kinds of sinners, and is ready to forgive them all.
The generous one is merciful and provides for any who have need, no matter what evil they have done.
The generous ones are not concerned with being infected or harmed, for they trust in Him who protects them.
The generous one does not mark time, only the ability to love.
The generous one is honest, laughs, and takes joy in those around him, for in experiencing joy in those around him, they experience joy in themselves.
The generous one does not give by the handful, but by the truckload.
The generous one does not believe in scarcity. She never fails to give out of her stores of goods or of soul, for the Lord will always provide more. | <urn:uuid:4c68d2f8-c000-4766-a900-ca305cb9b24b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hogansheroesfanclub.com/the-generous/ | 2023-09-26T07:04:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.964195 | 161 |
There’s something about shared travel that can connect people to a degree that few other experiences can. Perhaps the cause is the removal from regular life that lets us play in a way not possible during our day-to-day routine. Conversations go further than they would with people seen every day. Drinks and dances can last longer when there’s no work the next morning, but how to approach that initial moment of meeting? Holistic Holiday at Sea provides many opportunities to connect with other guests so you can delight in new encounters come March.
The main social events happen each night, with possibilities ranging from a Welcome Cocktail Party to “Ice cream” or “Milk” and Cookies Socials. Share a dance to the song stylings of Bridgette Kossor or share a cooking tip at the Daiya Vegan Pizza Party.
In coming weeks, we’ll tell the stories of couples that connected through the cruise. If you want someone with whom to share the experiences, the Singles Social gives you the chance to write the next love story. After you hit it off with a lovely gentleman or lady, continue the conversation with a debate over the best Coconut Bliss flavor at the Bliss Vegan Ice Cream Social.
If an intriguing stranger catches your eye during the week, or an inspiring speaker raises a pressing question, you have one more chance to say hello at the Friday night Farewell Dance Party.
Physical and Mental Fitness Classes
Our lineup of fitness and spiritual practice sessions present another great way to meet folks. Get out of your room and into rhythm at yoga with instructor Koya Webb. Meet other morning people and start your day with peaceful smiles at Marcus Gary’s 5-Organ Qi Gong. When you want a bit more motion, find your up-tempo comrades in “Exercise Your Core” with Rich Roll. Even if you prefer to keep to yourself during the class, the exercise endorphins may propel you to new social boldness upon completion!
If you’d rather let someone else do the sweating while you socialize, daily cooking demonstrations feature three new chefs bringing contagious energy along with their expertise. Join food justice activists wanting to taste the farm-fresh fixings of chef Bryant Terry; get healthy and happy through “Plant-based Comfort Foods” with Jessica Porter; or focus on sweets that serve the body while sharing treats at Chef AJ’s “Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth without Sugar, Oil or Gluten.” Since the chefs do the cooking, there’s no risk of harming your new friendship with recipes gone awry.
Merging travel and food offers the best of two wonderful worlds. The two come together throughout Holistic Holiday at Sea, whether at the dinner table or in a workshop. It’s brought us great joy to witness how relationships formed on this common ground of health and healing often stay the course, despite the later challenges of time or distance. No matter where you return to after the cruise, you’ll have memories to treasure and new friends to share them with.
Join us in March 2014 for our 11th voyage of this vegan extravaganza in the Caribbean! Bring someone who is interested in a great time, an opportunity to grow and a unique vegan travel experience where you can be around like minded compassionate folks!

These data can be sorted and presented in many ways. ecobee also integrates with Alexa, so all you have to do is talk to the device, and it will raise or lower the temperature or do any number of commands. Alexa’s commands also include playing music through ecobee’s speakers.
Is There a Monthly Fee for ecobee?
There is only one monthly fee for Ecboee, which ranges from $5 a month to $10 a month for their Haven Security System.
If you don’t want to pay the extra money, move on to the next question. If you’re interested in reading more about the Haven Security System, read on.
The Haven Security System is a decentralized home monitoring service. If ecobee detects an intrusion into your home, it sends you a notice to your phone through the ecobee app. There is no keypad required. It is an entirely passive system, which is good because ecobee sometimes loses track of authorized individuals.
ecobee’s Safe Haven System can:
- Protect doors and windows but ignore motion
- Play a siren through all of the ecobee speakers.
- Allow you to use Autopilot, which arms and disarms the system.
- Allow you to access the 14-day video clip storage.
- Allow you to track family members and other authorized people in your house to avoid false alarms.
If you want to pay for the Haven Security System and use all of its features, we highly recommend that you purchase the SmartCamera, which costs $179.99, and contact and motion sensors (which cost $79.99 for a pack of two). The SmartCamera supports two-way talk, and automatic panning can be disabled.

What Are Some Common Problems with ecobee?
Many users have experienced problems with ecobee. These range from the WiFi not working to not having a C-wire.
1. WiFi Not Working
If the WiFi doesn’t work, first confirm that your router is broadcasting on a 2.5 GHz network and that you set your encryption type to WPA/WPA2-AES. Then, check the network signal strength, which should be at 75% or higher. Install any firmware updates. Finally, if you recently lost power, you might have to re-enter the information manually.
2. No Connection from Router to ecobee
If the ecobee is not connecting to the router, follow these steps:
- Disconnect and reconnect the ecobee and the router
- Unplug them both and then plug the router back in
- Then, reconnect the ecobee to the wall
- The ecobee should automatically connect to the router
- Check the status of your connection
- Ensure that you have installed the latest version of firmware available
If all else fails, try using the mobile hotspots of your phone and see if that works. If the ecobee connects to the hotspot but not to the network, then the network has the issue and not the ecobee.
3. Cannot Connect to ecobee Servers
If the ecobee is not connecting to the ecobee servers, follow these steps:
- Power-cycle the ecobee by unplugging it and then plugging it back in
- Tell your ecobee to connect to your network
- Connect the ecobee to the mobile hotspot
- If it connects, then your network’s firewall may be interfering
You should configure your firewall so that it allows all connections to ecobee.com and *.ecobee.com.
4. No C-Wire
If you don’t have a C-wire, you can use the power extender kit (PEK) included in your ecobee packaging. Follow these steps:
- Turn the thermostat up so that your HVAC system goes on
- Turn the power off to the HVAC system at the furnace or circuit breaker
- Pull the face of the thermostat off
- Take the cover off the HVAC system
- Find the wiring that goes to the thermostat on the circuit board and where those terminals are labeled
- Take a picture of the wiring configuration
- Find the bundled wires that go to the thermostat
- Remove the wires
- Put the cables in the correct slots, marked by the letters of their colors (R for red, etc.)
- Note that the Y wire might be blue.
- Place the wires from the PEK into the terminals
- The cables have labels that indicate the electric terminal they will go in
- Make sure the wires are tight and secure in the terminals
- Remove the existing thermostat from the wall
- Take a picture to show how to arrange the wires
- Attach the ecobee base plate to the ecobee wall plate
- Attach the ecobee wall plate to the wall, making sure that the wires are coming through the center of the base plate
- Press the wires into the correct terminal
- The Y wire goes into the PEK terminal
- The G wire goes into the C terminal
- Push the ecobee onto the wall plate
- Turn the HVAC system back on
If you did this correctly, the ecobee thermostat should turn on. Next, go to the device itself and tap on Getting Started. Follow these steps:
- Tap on Getting Started
- Ensure that the wires you have behind the ecobee match how ecobee displays them
- Continue the setup process
The above steps require you to rewire the furnace, so contact a professional if you cannot rewire an HVAC or heat system yourself. Read on to discover the best ecobee thermostats.

Did you ever wonder why ladies of the late 19th century walked around with enormous rumps poking out behind them? Well, these poofy posterior accessories known as bustles were all the rage despite their strange shape.
Bustles bubbled outskirts in dramatic fashion, signaling status and enhancing natural curves in ways that dazzled the Victorian eye. From high society debutantes to common lasses, fashionables flocked to flaunt these funky shapes that brought bounce to every step.
Find out more surprising secrets of this sensational style that sent silhouettes swirling with an hourglass hike like no other era has ever seen!
A Brief History of the Bustle
The bustle has had quite an intriguing journey through the centuries of fashion. First appearing as simple pads in the 1500s, bustles served to plump figures from behind in a more subtle style. Through the 17th century, their use continued but fell away afterward.
It wasn’t until the 1860s that bustles bounced back bigger than ever! This time, they bloomed out over skirt hems in wire contraptions of spectacle.
Made of materials like whalebone and hair, these bustles brought drama unlike anything seen before. In fact, they grew so over-the-top in the 1880s that even sitting became challenging for fashionable ladies!
At the bustle’s peak in this period, their silhouettes varied widely. Some soared skyward while others spilled out sideways in cascades of fabric. But no matter their shape, one thing was clear – bustles had become a must-have for feminine flair.
All classes of women wore these wonderous derrieres as symbols of status on par with the finest jewels.
By decade’s end, changes were afoot. New silhouettes entered style, and modern women sought life beyond fashion constraints. The women’s liberation movement took hold, too.
From there, bustles only appeared sparingly, such as for bridal grandeur through the 20th century. Yet their place in history stands as one of fashion’s most innovative transformations of the feminine form.
Origins of the Bustle in the 18th Century
The bustle’s beginnings are traced back to influences from many sides. Flowing mantuas with pulled-back overskirts already hinted at the bustle’s bud. The use of pads and even cork rumps to boost swagged skirts added that extra oomph.
Neoclassical ideals, too, called for graceful curves through the female form. Sculpted physiques of ancient eras stressed an enviable ratio at the waist. Lifting hems high helped answer this aesthetic with dramatic flair.
Even those from farther shores lent inspiration. When South African woman Saartjie Baartman toured Europe, her shapely figure sparked fascination. Her buxom shape showcased a narrow middle and voluminous derriere, said to embody exotic allure. Her exotic appeal potentially primed people for this peculiar posterior padding.
By the century’s end, the bustle’s beginnings had set the stage for widespread wear. Early iterations employed mere pads to start, discreetly defining a lady’s lines. Still, demand grew for ever more exaggerated effects in this era of excess.
Soon, coveted crinolines arrived, buoying skirts in billows of fabric fit for days of delight. From there, it was history – the rousing rise of the rump had been set in motion. By the peak of Victorian virtues, these be-bunned bottoms brought boundless beauty through the latest lavish fashions.
Why did they wear bustles in Victorian times?
During the Victorian era, bustles were all the buzz. For fashionable ladies, these padded rumps amplified elements of femininity in a tidy style. Their exaggerated curves emulated the hourglass ideal that defined beauty.
Status, too, showed through these sometimes lavish accessories. Crafted from luxurious fabrics or feathers, bustles broadcast means to delighted onlookers. Their eye-catching grandeur distinguished women of means from the masses in playful ways.
Of course, graceful movement delighted when bustles bounced with each step. Flowing fabrics swirling around these bumped bottoms enticed in dance and promenade alike. An attractive aura of rhythm and flow surrounded bustled beauties gliding by.
While trends came and went, bustles boomed during the reign of Queen Victoria. Altering shapes and designs diversely, Victorians perfected padding their posture for the pleasure of all. Decades dancing by saw great Gambols had in flouncing finery focused behind.
Changes eventually dimmed their dominance when new diversions came to the fore. Bold belly blooms and rising women showed bustles at the century’s turn. Though fondly remembered from the height of their historic heights, fashion set sights elsewhere.
The Evolution of the Bustle Throughout the 19th Century
Why did the bustle become so popular?
The bustle burst onto the fashion world in the late 1800s, quickly rising to immense popularity. A fascinating form that flourished for over two thrilling decades, the bustle brought boundless beauty in its novel shape.
With its ability to enhance nature’s curves, the bustle lets femininity shine in idealized architecture. Embraced freely by women across classes, too, accessibility added allure to this trend. Materials like horsehair or wire invited ingenious invention birthing styles without end in elegant exhibition.
Appealing motion mesmerized onlookers as bustled beauties bounced by. Admirers couldn’t help but watch waves of fabric flow and sparkling splendor trace each step. From the early days’ subtle pads to the craze culminating in 1880, bustles’ blooms never ceased to captivate the eye.
Decoration dawned, too, as trim diversified these divine derrieres. Lacy luxury, ribbons tripping merrily – each bustle boasted its own brand of opulent ornament. No two took the same form, uniting individuality with iconic ideals through two thrilling tides turnover.
While trends transformed in time, the bustle left an undeniable mark on the silhouette’s sway. A status symbol without peer in history’s rich repertoire, Queen Victoria’s era blazed brightest under bouncing blossoms behind.
What changes did the bustle undergo in different eras?
Throughout its time in the spotlight, the bustle underwent many exciting evolutions. In the 1860s, its second coming commenced discreetly underneath hems through simple pads.
The following decade marked the bustle’s rise to prominence. Now topping skirts, these bustles blossomed larger with boning or whalebone frames, and lace adornments abound. Their growing severity signaled a trend that had taken hold.
By the 1880s dawn, bustles reached extremes of the exhibitionist kind. Known as “lobster tails,” these largest looks were veritable works of wearable art, inconveniencing wearers for fashion.
Mid-decade brought a tempering of tones, if not size, dubbing the new pouf silhouette. Lavish trimmings remained in vogue, dressing these daring derrieres to the nines each night.
In some later 1880s, forces conspired against their continuant. New diversions drew eyes elsewhere while ladies aimed to liberate themselves from style’s strictures. Bustles faded fast as freedom grew fashionable.
Their finish line fell in the emerging 1890s, departing center stage with nary a nod. Though briefly revisiting signatures since fond memory remains the bustle’s sole venue in eras afterward. A unique trend that transformed the feminine form, its flash in history shines brightest.
The Practicality of Wearing Bustles
Bustles brought both benefits and drawbacks for wearers over time. On the one hand, they boosted figures to epitomize ideal curves through accentuated architecture. Fullness flowed charmingly with each step, too.
However, long-term comfort proved elusive when supported by whalebone braces beneath. Perched for posh parties and functions, rest found no respite for reposed rumps. Practical problems plagued them as well, like stairs and sitting seriously sabotaged by their immense presence.
Care took creativity with hand-washing delicate decor needed. The expense was no trifling thing, often procuring pricey products for brief periods of fashion. Despite status granted, strains showed in women wishing for wider worlds beyond boudoirs’ walls.
While imperfections hid discreetly under mountains of material molded behind, mobility morn to night faced frustrations. Freedom fled as form followed this fashion’s function no matter what personal preferences laid plain.
So, practicality depended on each lady’s priorities at their peak. Short-term appearance allotted actresses artfully ignoring aches for activists’ ambition overrode adornments’ mandates. Acceptance reigned overall, as individuality survived smoothly within society’s sculpting silhouette.
The Function of Bustles
How did bustles help women in their daily lives?
Though not always practical, bustles did serve some purpose for ladies in their daily activities. Above all, they accentuated fashion’s ideal figure with graceful architecture curving just so.
Status, too, radiated from flouncing finery, whether promenading public parks or private parlors. Shimmering silks signaled affluence through extravagant excess buoying hems.
More basically, Victorian values demanded discretion in the delicate feminine form. Ankles must stay hidden, knees not creased for viewing. Through voluminous skirts thusly plumped, modesty maintained without impediment to stride.
The movement also mesmerized onlookers entranced as bustled beauties swept by. Rhythmic grace flowed from each flourished step, swirling silk bidding eyes following fair forms with fervor. Dancing especially dazzled under decorative drapes dancing their dynamic part.
While comfort suffered for the cause of fashion, bustles benched functionality foremost. Shielding virtue, accenting active hours through purpose or pleasure, padding prevailed as a purposeful part for women wherever life led their lively landings.
The Comfort of Bustles
Bustles brought a mix of ease and encumbrance depending on design. Early versions are tenderly padded posteriors with plush fabrics tailor-crafted for tranquility.
Later, boning inserted tightened torsos into rigid rumps renounced for relaxation. Whalebone wages waged war on weary women wishing ease through days. Discretion dedicated to decoration detained delight, rest ruing reinforced restraints.
Size too scaled sensations – simple swells suffered less strain than shocking shows of silk. Colossal crinolines crimped comfort, contours constricted in cascades of fabric fastidiously fussy.
Function further foiled free-flowing Frolics like sitting or stairs. Saving modesty sacrificed mobility morning, noon, and night. Care compounded woes; washing each decorative detail was dreary and draining.
Yet, through will or ignorance, all accepted agonies for a time. A short-term spectacle so seduced some as suffering seemed a small striking cost. For fashion to flourish, we endure what? Fickle fields decree, resignation reigning over day-to-day regrets.
Were bustles comfortable to wear? How did women adapt to wearing them?
For ladies who loved the latest looks, bustles brought boundless beauty with burden unwelcome. Constructed from rigid stays, these bulging backs inflicted pain with each portentous pregnancy.
While early iterations endured with ease, larger looks loomed as oppression. Whalebone and wire wreaked wrath, wrenching with every action. Sitting simplified to a side-slung stance, saving silk from unsightly strains.
Still, fashion’s faithful followed regardless of risks to repose for over two thrill-filled decades. Ingenuity ensured individual ease, where eagerness for elegance outweighed personal plight. Smaller styles and softer substances surrendered sensibility for the style’s siren song.
Relief arose reservedly as well. Home or hobbies meant a happy habitat abandoned where binding bustles brought blessed liberation. Clever corsets cushioned, moreover, camouflaging discomforts to curious company.
While far from flawless, feminine fortitude found flexible fixes to frustration even amidst fripperies’ false flag of femininity. Through sea changes of silhouette, womanhood’s intuition inevitably ensured individuality survived society’s stern standards strongly still.
The Evolution of Bustles
The bustle underwent many intriguing transformations throughout its tenure in the spotlight of high fashion. Starting small in the 1860s with subtle shapers underneath, its second wave wisped wearers’ waists winningly.
Come the 1870s, bigger was indeed better as boned and bolstered bustles brightened beyond skirts’ sway. Their shift to openly ostentatious only presaged phases to follow fashion’s fearless figureheads.
In the 1880s’ dawn, extremes ensued, with bustles bursting at the seams in lobster tails and melon shapes monumental. Unconventional canvases covered in lace let ladies showcase creativity as well as curves.
Mid-decade moderation minus excess carved the new pouf silhouette. Trimmings still tantalized as before, yet taste tempered outlandish deeds. Freedom loomed, too, as innovations inspired society’s outlook.
Faddish apogee faded fast late 1880s as ladies likewise evolved. Call of coy corsets waned while New Woman wisdom won status beyond parlor. Bustles’ final berths fell by 1890, defining femininity afresh as females fearlessly flourished.
Though briefly revisiting vintage views, history upheld the bustle’s signature seal on the silhouette. A staple as society shifted shape, its flash fading showed females flexing independence emerging e’er after.
How did bustles change over time to become more practical?
Bustles underwent many fascinating changes to better suit the lives of ladies who loved them. Early versions proved too vast, hindering wearers with weight and width. Mobility mattered most as fashion followed women’s expanding horizons.
Innovators took note, tweaking towering designs to trimmer silhouettes. Softer stuffing like horsehair brought comfort, replacing rigid frames that fatigued fair forms. Simpler shapes suited strolls and shopping much more than immense impediments indoors and out.
Constructions grew clever, too. Secure yet sensible closures kept skirts anchored steadily sans stress. No more pins prone to popping meant peace of mind regardless of plans. Durability also developed to endure daily duties in a noble style.
With practical primping, bustles became companions rather than burdens beyond ballrooms. Women welcomed versatile variants permitting voracious ventures into vibrant civic realms. Fashion favored flexibility as females fearlessly flourished beyond the home’s confines.
Gradually, opulence has been optimized to outfit ladies living fuller lives. Elegance evolved hand-in-hand with expanded experiences. Through patience and progress, partners perfected pleasing partners and practical perks in parallel.
Social Status and the Bustle
Did the bustle symbolize wealth or social status?
The bustle bore bold badges of both beauty and buying power. Elegant in architecture and alluring in aesthetics, these back attachments also advertised affluence through elaborate expenses.
Fabrics such as shimmering silk and decorative feathers signaled sovereign spending capability. Luxurious looks like these flaunted fortunes fit for fashion without reproach. These were not modest modifications for meager means but monuments boasting bountiful budgets.
Yet not all bustled belles belonged to exalted social circles or bank balances beyond reach. Mimetic middle and working classes marched to the beat of their own desire for dignified dress seldom defined by dollars alone.
Via versatile versions visibly aping lavish ladies, humbler hustlers hoped to hide humble homes and hedge impending judgments on income insufficient for opulence. Still, peer pressures pushed preferences for popular plumage prowling parlors of proper politesse.
How did the bustle influence women’s social interactions?
The bustle greatly impacted ladies in their lively lives of leisure. With form exemplifying femininity’s finest form, appeal rose widely. Wearing one meant prominence for promising perfect posture and polished behaviors.
Parties promptly pursued these paramount personalities. Prestige poured from precision in practices like dancing with easy elegance. Respect came regularly as reputations ruled among merrymakers.
Wealth whispered through ornate fabrics on display too, helping the high society hostess stand out starkly. Less affluent flocked to fashions similarly to assimilate among aristocrats.
Inside interior mingles, mesmerizing motions mystified onlookers. Mastery motivated many matches as eligible eyes enthusiastically followed. Confidence came naturally, knowing noble norms were hitherto met impeccably.
Invites flowed freely to fun festivities for fashion’s faithful. Feeling fancier under flickers of flattery, fellowship flourished further. Restraint remained relaxed with grace guaranteed, granting greater joys of traversing trends’ terrain tirelessly.
Appearances and accouterments undoubtedly elevated every woman’s experiences of interacting in elite social spheres. Bustled beauties excelled and shone as the epitome of polished propriety.
Over the late 1800s, the bustle transformed ideals of Victorian femininity and women’s fashion. While uncomfortable at times, bustles helped women navigate social norms by accentuating modest curves and symbolizing wealth.
As women’s roles expanded in the late 1800s, bustles evolved to bring more flexibility through innovative shapes and materials. By the 1890s, bustles faded as a new era focused on women’s independence.
However, the bustle left a lasting impact, demonstrating how fashion both reflects and shapes cultural changes. It highlighted women’s perseverance through challenging trends and their increasing freedom to redefine beauty outside constraints.
What are the 3 distinct looks of the bustle period?
The first look from 1870-1878 featured skirts with a high, soft bustle gathered at the back, called the Waterfall Bustle, creating an airy pouf with fullness only in the back. The next era, from 1878-1882, replaced wired bustles with small pads resembling natural curves in the Natural Form look. Finally, from 1883 to 1889, the Second Bustle Period used steel strips to create larger, more pronounced bustles under skirts with cascading ruffles and trains fanning out behind, reviving the exaggerated bustle style.
Why were Victorian skirts so big?
Large Victorian skirts were influenced by fashion trends that saw width as elegant and helped create an exaggerated hourglass shape adored at that time. Wearing substantial skirts also symbolized wealth since more costly materials were required. Modesty drove their size too, as fulness shielded legs from view matching genteel standards. Supportive crinolines and hoop skirts moreover enabled volume, underpinning skirts in luxury fabrics that signified rank through expansive excess.
What is the difference between a crinoline and a bustle?
While crinolines wore worn as mid-19th century underskirts which added volume through hoops shaping skirts outward for a dramatic bell silhouette emphasizing the waist, bustles came later as padded rear undergarments protruding the back of skirts through linked supports, focusing volume behind to accentuate feminine curves in a humped style distinct from crinolines’ flared grace.
What did men wear during the bustle period?
During the bustle period, which spanned from the 1870s to the 1890s, men typically wore three-piece suits consisting of a sack or frock coat, waistcoat, and trousers. These suits were often worn with a shirt and a necktie tied like a bowtie or a four-in-hand tie. The style of men’s clothing during this period was more conservative compared to the elaborate and voluminous women’s fashion of the time. Men’s fashion changed very little throughout the Victorian period, and the main outfit for men remained the suit.
Why did women wear bum rolls?
The primary function of bum rolls was to shape the lower part of a woman’s body to fit the fashionable silhouette of the time. They added volume to the hips, creating a more rounded and exaggerated shape. Bum rolls also helped to lift and support the back of the skirt, maintaining its desired fullness and shape. Additionally, bum rolls helped to alleviate the strain on the lower back and hips caused by the weight of the skirts. | <urn:uuid:98611e9c-cfda-4424-b0ff-de45249b81db> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://honeyfact.com/why-did-ladies-wear-bustles/ | 2023-09-26T05:36:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.932085 | 4,284 |
Honoring America’s Warriors, exclusive in Oklahoma, provides assistance dogs, training, equipment, and veterinary care to qualifying service-connected disabled veterans at no cost. The program is funded through grants by the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and donations. Veterans must complete the online application, include a DD214 or equivalent and a memo from their medical professional. The memo must state a need for a service dog. Once the application is received, a formal interview is set up. The formal and home interview is utilized to discuss training and learn more about the veteran’s needs and home life.
A service dog is specifically trained to perform work or tasks for individuals with a disability. A dog could perform hundreds of tasks such as picking up objects, opening doors, alerting for medical conditions, mobility assistance, waking individuals up from nightmares, and many more. Protecting someone, giving emotional support, or being a companion do not qualify a dog as a service animal. We tailor the training for the exact requirements or needs requested by the veteran.
Studies have shown that dogs provide positive health benefits, increase fitness, lower stress, and improve happiness. Service dogs encompass all of these abilities, combined with training to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities.
The program begins with eight-week-old puppies, typically Labrador Retrievers, who are partnered with a puppy foster and trainer for up to eight weeks of training. The puppy is taught simple commands such as bathroom breaks, leash control, entering and exiting doorways.
The puppy is then partnered with an eligible veteran, and the service dog team begins bonding and training. Trainers use “train the trainer” concept to enable a greater bond with the veteran and service dog. Teams train at our facility several days a week for the first few months and then gradually move to once a week as determined by trainers. While training will last the life of the dog, the formal training aspects can last up to two years, depending on some tasks.
The program and teamwork work best when starting with an eight-week-old puppy; however, some exceptions may be considered. Don't hesitate to contact us before you purchase or if you have questions about training your dog to be a service dog. The optimum concept is for applicants to own their homes and have a fenced yard. However, exceptions can be discussed.
Service dogs fall under The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
All training sessions are accomplished at Honoring America’s Warriors HQ located at 4149 Highline Blvd STE 280 OKC, Oklahoma 73108. Training will be Monday through Friday from 1030 to 1200 or by appointment.

Traveling is a great way to explore new places and culture. It can also be a fun way to meet other travelers and make friends!
One of the best ways to stay in a new place is by staying in a hotel. They are available in all price ranges, from budget to luxury, and provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep for travelers on short or long-term stays.
Many hotels are also eco-friendly or committed to socially responsible travel. These are an increasingly important criteria for consumers in their hotel selections.
Another way to find a sustainable hotel is by checking out websites that promote hotels that are environmentally friendly or commit to giving back to their communities. Some hotels are even partnering with non-profits to help support local initiatives.
You may be surprised to learn that some hotels also offer a variety of complimentary items, such as shampoo, toothpaste, hairspray, deodorant, and even laundry detergent! These can be handy when you’re traveling and don’t want to pack too much or don’t have enough time to shop for items before arriving at your accommodation.
If you’re planning a vacation, it’s always good to shop around for the cheapest possible rates for flights and hotels. The best rates are often found through travel alerts and discount sites.
It’s also a great idea to read reviews and star ratings before booking a hotel. This will give you a sense of how credible the establishment is. You’ll also be able to determine whether or not the price is worth it for you, as well as how much value you get for your money. | <urn:uuid:2837220d-60bd-4702-8485-7d301c37b038> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hoteldanasolo.com/traveling-and-hotels-7/ | 2023-09-26T05:41:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.956997 | 335 |
I recently purchased a Philodendron plant called White Measure. I love that it’s got a striking green-and-white variegated appearance which makes it stand out in my indoor garden, but I was confused because it doesn’t look exactly like other White Measure plants I’ve seen. Some say it’s a Philodendron Birkin, but how do these plants vary?
Philodendron White Measure is a Philodendron Birkin. These are different names for the same plant, which is typically dark green with white stripes, a beautiful contrast that many gardeners find appealing. This Philodendron plant is also sometimes referred to as the White Wave.
In this article, I’ll show you what you need to know about the Philodendron White Measure and why it’s sometimes mistakenly assumed to be different from the Philodendron Birkin.
There are approximately 450 species of Philodendron plants, as Britannica reports. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. The Philodendron White Measure is a plant with bright green leaves and distinct creamy-white stripes. However, it’s sometimes also called the Birkin.
It’s speculated that Philodendron White Measure got the name Birkin because people named it after the famous Hermés Birkin handbag. New York magazine reports that the plant was so rare and expensive that people compared it to the exclusive handbag range.
What’s especially striking about the Philodendron White Measure is that its coloring will vary from one plant to another. The random nature of the plant is why people mistakenly think Philodendron White Measure and Birkin are different species of the same plant.
For example, in some plants, the white stripes on the leaves will be uniform in size and pattern, while others don’t.
Similarly, the color of the plant’s stripes can vary. For example, some leaves display bright white stripes while others have cream or yellow lines. Some Birkin plant leaves are so white that they hardly have any green.
In other plants still, the leaves can become completely green, leaving you to wonder if you even own a White Measure or Birkin!
Philodendron White Measure plants can look so different from each other because the plant originated as a mutation of the Philodendron Rojo Congo.
This plant comes from South America and varies from other Philodendron species because it’s not a climber. It has dark green and burgundy leaves and beautiful flowers that can be red or white.
Philodendron White Measure is a spontaneous chimeric (random) mutation of the Philodendron Rojo Congo. A random mutation usually shows up as variegation in the plant, as the unusual white coloration on the leaves.
Chimeric variegation occurs when a plant has two types of genetically distinct cells that give random splashes of color on an otherwise green plant.
This random expression of color is why Philodendron White Measure can vary in appearance, such as by sprouting some white leaves without any green on them or dark green leaves that look like they should belong to a Philodendron Rojo Congo plant.
Here are other things to know about the Philodendron White Measure or Birkin and why you might have previously assumed they’re not the same plant.
What adds to the confusion of whether or not the White Measure and Birkin are the same plants is that sellers market the plants under different names in different places. Even more confusing, they can go under the name White Wave.
These different names can cause some people to think that the words signify other Philodendron species, but this isn’t the case.
If you purchased a Birkin plant, but its appearance is changing, this might make you wonder if you bought a different Philodendron plant. However, this plant can change its appearance over time due to its mutation. No two White Measure plants will ever look the same, which is terrific if you want to own a unique plant.
These changes in appearance can be subtle or dramatic. You might find that your plant becomes an entirely different color, such as pink, or loses its white stripes with new leaf growth.
These variable colorations can cause your plant to look like a combination of two plants, but it’s happening due to the plant reverting to its parent plant, the Rojo Congo.
If you and your best friend both purchased a Philodendron White Measure, but your plants look different, this could result from the plants being in different growth stages.
When your plant grows new leaves, they tend to be completely white or pale green. As the plant ages, its leaves usually change by becoming dark green.
A plant’s leaf color can change due to its lack of chlorophyll, a pigment that gives plants its green color. Chlorophyll can be lacking in some of the Philodendron White Measure or Birkin plant cells due to their cell mutations.
Chlorophyll absorbs light for the plant so that this energy gets converted into energy-storing molecules. The plant then uses this stored energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose for the plant to grow, a process known as photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is also responsible for plants having a dark green color because it can’t absorb the green wavelengths of light. So, when these wavelengths get reflected off the plant, it causes the plant to look green, as National Geographic reports.
The green leaves of your Philodendron plant are areas on the plant that contain more chlorophyll, whereas chlorophyll free will be pale green or white. This process is what contributes to the plant’s variegated appearance.
Although you might think there’s nothing you can do to stop a Philodendron White Measure or Birkin plant from changing its appearance, there are ways to encourage it to maintain its colors and stripes.
Even though a Rojo Congo is beautiful, you might want to preserve your Birkin’s looks, so it doesn’t revert. Here are essential care tips to ensure your plant is healthy.
Your Philodendron plant wants to be in indirect, bright light for many hours daily. Ideally, this light should reach the plant after being filtered through a curtain, so it’s not too strong. Variegated plant species, such as the White Measure or Birkin, require more light than non-variegated ones.
Since these plants aren’t green all over, they don’t have enough chlorophyll to absorb sunlight, so putting them in a sunnier spot in the home can encourage them to absorb more light, as The Press-Enterprise reports. You should keep your Philodendron Birkin in an area where it will receive approximately 12 hours of indirect, bright light.
You can cut back the leaves of your Philodendron White Measure or Birkin so that you remove its new leaves that are not variegated. By pruning your leaves, you will encourage variegated leaves to grow so your Birkin can achieve a bolder coloring. To do this effectively, cut back to the last variegated leaf on the plant.
Since Philodendron is a tropical plant, it requires temperatures that are between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 23°C). Keep your plant away from hot or cold sources, as both can affect its growth and appearance. When kept indoors, ensure you don’t place your plant close to the following:
- Air-conditioning systems
If you’ve got a potted Philodendron outside in the garden, be careful not to expose it to cold conditions during winter, especially if you live in an area of the U.S. that experiences freezing winters, such as Minnesota or North Dakota. Move the plant indoors if the temperature gets below 60°F (15°C).
If you’ve noticed some leaves on your Philodendron White Measure or Birkin look yellow, you might assume this is just because of its changing colors. But, if all the leaves are becoming yellow, this is a sign that you’re overwatering the plant.
By comparison, if the plant leaves are drooping, this is a sign you’re not watering the plant enough. To prevent overwatering or underwatering your plant, ensure that its soil’s top inch (2.54 cm) is dry before giving it more water. Generally, you should water the plant every week, so its soil doesn’t dry.
If your Philodendron plant changes its colors or stripes, you might wonder if you have a White Measure species or a Birkin. The truth is, these are names for the same plant. As we’ve seen in this article, this type of Philodendron plant can change its appearance for various reasons:
- It’s a mutation of the Rojo Congo plant.
- Its appearance changes during its different growth stages.
- It doesn’t produce enough chlorophyll.
It doesn’t receive enough indirect bright sunlight daily.

How to Enable Remote Computer Management in Windows 10
Windows provides two ways to enable remote-computer management. You can use Desktop Central, which allows you to connect to another computer with administrative privileges, or you can manually enable remote management. Regardless of how you access the remote computer, you need to have the appropriate rights to connect. Follow these steps to set up remote management on your PC. Once you’ve done that, you can configure the settings to allow remote access and management.
After you’ve enabled remote management, you can configure which users have access to the remote computers. The first step is to open System Preferences on the remote computer and choose the permissions that you want to allow. This will give you more control over which people have access to the computer. After enabling the feature, define the users who will be allowed to access the computer. For instance, you can enable the privileges of certain Remote Desktop administrators Google.
You’ll need elevated user rights to manage your clients’ computers. To enable remote computer management, open the Server Manager from the Start menu or the GUI. Then, click on the Disabled text. This opens up the System Properties window. Click the Remote tab to enable remote desktop connections. You can also open this window through the Command Prompt or PowerShell. Just type system propertiesre mote into the CMD window.
Enable Remote Computer Management Windows 10:
To enable remote computer management, you need to create an account on the server. After you’ve created an account, you need to set the permissions of the user on the remote computer. Afterwards, you can set the permissions for other users and administrators. You’ll have to have elevated user rights to manage the computers. If you want to manage client computers remotely, you can also enable a domain-wide policy.
To turn on or disable remote computer management, you need to be a member of the server’s domain. To enable remote computer management, you need to be logged in as an administrator user. If you are not a member of the domain, you’ll need to create one first. Once you have done that, you’ll be able to add the server to the server manager. If you’re a domain admin, you need to be sure to grant remote access for the account.
Allow Semote Server Management Through Winrm:
Before you can use remote computer management, you need to enable it on the server. In order to enable remote access, you need to be a member of the domain and be a member of the Remote Desktop service. In addition, you need to enable the incoming remote connection. To enable remote management, you need to have a domain account. You need to make sure that the account is a member of the domain.
Once you’ve enabled remote access, you can enable it by enabling the Remote Desktop service. You must be a member of the domain before you can enable Remote Desktop. You must also be a member of the Administrators group to enable remote management on your PC. Once you’ve done that, you can start using Remote Desktop on your PC. There are a few steps to enable it, but it’s possible to configure it on all your machines.
Enable Remote Management Server 2019:
Ensure that you have administrative privileges on the target system. By default, remote management is disabled on Windows servers. You can enable it by logging in to the system and selecting the Remote Console option. Then, install the necessary tools. You’ll need to have the proper passwords and usernames for each system. Keeping the passwords on each system will prevent unauthorized access. When you’re ready to use remote management, you’ll need to install the software on each machine.
To enable Windows Remote Management access to computers using Windows Firewall with advanced security (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012) please follow these instructions.
- Edit an existing Group Policy item or create a new one using the Group Policy Management Tool.
- Expand Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Windows Firewall For Advanced Security / Windows Firewall with Advanced Security / Inbound Node.
- Check out the predefined: radio button and select Windows Remote Management from the drop-down list. Click Next
- Check the Windows Remote Management Domain Profile rules and click Next.
- Check the Enable radio button and click Finish to exit and save the new rule.
- Make sure the Group Policy Object is used on the appropriate computers using the Group Policy Management Tool.
The best way to enable remote access is to configure the Server Manager on the destination computer. You’ll need a local account with Administrator permissions to enable remote management. If you’re not, you’ll need to install Group Policy Manager and the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. These tools are essential for managing your server remotely. Then, install the necessary drivers and programs, and you’re ready to go. You’ll be able to use the Remote Desktop in a variety of different ways. | <urn:uuid:ce58d876-4999-46cb-8903-354c267b0b3a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://howtoenable.net/how-to-enable-remote-computer-management/ | 2023-09-26T05:25:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.847577 | 1,052 |
Monksville Reservoir Full Moon Paddle
by Dave Miller
June 4, 2023
Monksville Reservoir Full Moon Paddles are always one of my favorite trips! Long time members get to meet new members to discuss gear, equipment, lights, etc. Someone is always available to help loading/unloading boats onto your car.
This trip did not disappoint. If you did not come, you missed a wonderful paddling adventure. Consider signing up for the next full moon paddle on July 3.
It was amazing that everyone showed up on time.
Robyn coordinated the sign-in sheet and Phil coordinated getting everyone’s boat down to the water. It was smooth and seamless!
Introductions were made and Robyn presented her pre-paddle talk, emphasizing safety with careful accurate head count and the importance of always coming back with the same number of paddlers that we started with. We kept with Martin's standard - “No one died.”
We were successful in keeping our group away from fishermen and their motorboats and trailers.
Just before dark, the air was cool, but we kept warm from running around and preparing to launch. We sorted out our food, beverages, headlamps, lights for our boats and headed north. We paddled through the causeway towards the power lines. Two paddlers wandered into a cove, but quickly caught up with the group.
Robyn timed it perfectly so on our return to the put-in, we were in a great spot to view the full moon in all its splendor. We waited and watched for the moon to pop up over the dam, as it always does.
While paddling back, one new member, Otto, commented that the water was very warm. Miraculously, all the paddlers heard Otto! Everyone then had one hand in the water, and all were amazed at the temperature.
Paddling in the dark is such an amazing experience. It is so very quiet.
One paddler shined his headlamp towards the land and noticed a “wild animal.” Although it turned out to be a racoon, it was very memorable.
We saw lots of stars. Then the moon came up, but nobody saw it because of the clouds. We paddled back to our cars, packed up and started going home.
We all saw the full moon while we were driving home!
Thanks to Robyn, Phil, Claire, Otto and me (Dave) for such a memorable paddle!

The Boston Marathon has long held a special place in my heart. In an earlier life, I covered the event for three years as a reporter for the Middlesex News, now known as the MetroWest Daily News. My beat at the time encompassed two towns along the route—Hopkinton and Natick.
Beyond combining a challenging assignment and a festive atmosphere, the Marathon provided an annual source of inspiration. In 1996, I stood at the starting line in Hopkinton for the 100th running of the storied race, when record numbers of athletes set off with enthusiasm and determination. The next year marked the 25th anniversary of women’s official participation, and I had the honor of interviewing several of those who helped to break the gender barrier.
I dreamed of running the race myself, and although I never have, reporting on it was one of the highlights of my newspaper career. I think fondly of the Marathon every Patriots Day.
A week ago, uplifting memories from my years as a journalist collided with my current work as a human rights researcher. Over the past 12 years, I have documented the effects of armed conflict on civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Georgia, Libya, and elsewhere.
The news reports of horrific injuries and lost limbs at the Marathon’s finish line immediately conjured up images of war wounds I have seen. Eyewitness accounts echoed those I have heard in far-away conflict zones. And the red sidewalk on Boylston Street brought to mind the bloody ground in Lebanon where a cluster munition dud killed a 12-year-old boy two hours before I arrived.
The weapons that inflicted the injuries in Boston had an unnerving similarity to munitions I have investigated overseas. The ball bearings packed in the homemade bombs closely resembled those used in rocket attacks in the Middle East. I show samples of these steel spheres to my classes when explaining how they serve to maximize bodily harm.
Having such a vicious attack take place only a few miles away on an occasion I hold dear has resonated deeply. The explosions hit home—literally and figuratively.
Nonetheless, the Boston Marathon retains its power to inspire me. This year it was not just the runners in the race who attracted my admiration. It was also medical personnel and spectators who ran to the scene immediately after the blasts to provide life-saving assistance. Countless others gave of themselves as needed in the harrowing days that followed.
As a human rights advocate, I have taken from the event much more than the realization that even my hometown is vulnerable to attack. I continue to be impressed by the acts of courage and commitment that the tragedy has called forth. Such responses strengthen my conviction that good will not be cowed by evil and that individuals who stand firm against armed violence will ultimately succeed. | <urn:uuid:10946d7a-8ed3-4257-8685-5548c11a5e6b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://humanrightsclinic.law.harvard.edu/after-the-bombings-boston-marathon-remains-an-inspiration/ | 2023-09-26T06:45:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.963976 | 567 |
Austria / Romania
When growing up, I never considered myself a young person with fewer opportunities. Despite being the first person in my family to graduate from a university, I cannot say my career path was exactly easy at any point, but SALTO influenced it from the early beginning.
While studying at University in Timisoara, I volunteered at the Intercultural Institute Timisoara which is a local NGO, and this is how I found my way to my first European youth event. It was not a SALTO event ‘proper’, but the Bulgarian NGO that hosted it worked with SALTO Inclusion materials and this is how I first came across SALTO. I cannot say the event went well for me – I felt very homesick. I was far away from home (even though it was just across the border) and I don’t think I fully understood what was going on.
This is part of the ‘magic of non-formal learning’, we will never know how many lives we changed. We do know non-formal learning has a huge potential to change people’s lives, but we cannot always witness the change as it happens over a longer period of time.
And so one non-formal learning experience led to another, and I became active in a European youth network (Youth Express Network), and then decided to become a trainer. As I become more and more involved in international youth work, SALTO has always been like a ‘fairy land’, where magical potions with life-changing potential were made. When therefore a job opening at the newly created SALTO ESC Resource Centre came up, I did not think twice before applying for it.
There are many youth organisations, many NA events, but SALTO adds another dimension to this work, because it creates spaces where everyone comes together on the same level, NGOs, youth, NAs, the European Commission and many others. I really appreciate SALTO’s focus on learning processes and on the values behind everything we do, and it is why I want to build a world of values – not products. | <urn:uuid:5f06a923-5c79-40b3-adf2-cde0a746c439> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://humans-of-salto.net/romina-matei/ | 2023-09-26T05:40:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.972666 | 441 |
In a dimly lit auditorium at the U.S. Department of Commerce headquarters in Washington, D.C., yesterday, a panel of officials from the Trump administration faced the music as dozens of representatives from businesses, trade organizations, and U.S. trading partners sounded off in opposition to proposed tariffs on imported automobiles and auto parts. With the exception of the United Auto Workers union, condemnation of the tariffs was ubiquitous.
Vintage cars took the limelight for part of the hearing as a classic car broker and two attorneys who handle the particulars of classic vehicle importation outlined an industry valued by New Oak Capital at up to $160 billion and what potential damage tariffs would inflict.
Mark Hyman, the classic car broker who spoke on one of the panels at the hearing, spoke about the possible devastation in telephone interview on Wednesday.
“Our concern is that if this tariff is passed, it has the potential to stop the import and export of vintage cars in the U.S.,” Hyman said. “There are times when 70 percent of my business is export vehicles. If the government imposes a 25-percent tariff on imports, other countries will most likely impose retaliatory tariffs that would make it cost prohibitive to buy cars in America.”
L-R: Mark Hyman (Hyman, Ltd.); Marshall V. Miller (Miller & Company, PC); Phillip Schramm (Webasto Roof Systems); Paul C. Vitrano (Polaris Industries, Inc.)
An example given at the hearing was the theoretical importation of a $1 million vintage car—a common enough scenario, given the prices demanded by some vintage cars today. Under current law, the 2.5-percent import duty adds $25,000 to the price of the car. Hyman and others on the panel said that while $25,000 is manageable for a car in the $1 million range, the $250,000 required by the proposed tariff would almost certainly kill the sale.
Marshall V. Miller, the principal of a law firm specializing in international trade law centered around vintage car import and export, said he owns 17 classic cars. He showed a photo of one of his vehicles—a 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 crew cab pickup—to the panel of administration officials, citing it as an example of what can go wrong when a tariff is used as a blunt instrument in a trade dispute. During what became known as the Chicken Wars—which started with a more or less general blockage across European markets of cheap American chickens—the Johnson administration ended up instituting a 25-percent tax on imported light trucks, including commercial versions of the Type 2 like the one Miller owns.
“There aren’t very many of those because once the duty went to 25 percent, no more were imported into the United States,” Miller said. “I caution this panel as you’re considering this, all of this is always supposed to be temporary. That’s what the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 envisioned. This is still in effect 55 years later.”
“Our concern is that if this tariff is passed, it has the potential to stop the import and export of vintage cars in the U.S.”
– Mark Hyman
The legislation Miller referenced was, in fact, the basis of the Department of Commerce investigation being discussed yesterday. Part of the law addresses potential national security threats posed by imported products, and the Trump administration has zeroed in on that component of it—first with regard to the steel and aluminum tariffs that went into effect in June, and now in its consideration of imported automobiles and auto parts.
“If this went into effect, it would impact a wide range of people with absolutely no national security implication,” Miller said. Like others at the hearing who spoke about vintage vehicles, Miller asked for an exemption for vintage autos and parts.
Both Miller and Hyman pointed out that as proposed, the tariffs would have an impact not just upon expensive import cars, but also upon domestic classics. Parts for vintage vehicles, no longer in demand at the levels they were when the vehicles were new, are most often produced in small batches. Producing parts in small quantities in the U.S. can be costly. For example, in a recent search for lower ball joints for a mid-century station wagon built by General Motors, a part manufactured in the U.S. cost $85, whereas one built in Taiwan was listed for $50.
“The value of your $8000 Chevy might not change much, but most of the restoration parts you buy for it are produced overseas,” Hyman said, adding that there are about 29 million vintage vehicles in the U.S.
He also pointed out that a variety of other industries—overland and maritime shipping, insurance, and the hotels and restaurants that service hundreds of classic car shows and conventions each year—would be affected by a hefty tax. “The trickle-down effect has tremendous negative potential.”
The classic car interest formed only a small segment of the businesses, trade organizations, and foreign governments represented at yesterday’s hearing. With the exception of the United Autoworkers Union—which supported the proposed tariff in the interest of bringing high-paying manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.—condemnation of the proposed tariffs was widespread. Much of the commentary proffered showcased broad displeasure with protectionist policies in general. Throughout the day, the administration’s recently instituted steel and aluminum tariffs were hauled out by panelists as examples of business-killing debacle.
David O’Sullivan, the European Union ambassador to the U.S., delivered his comments in a businesslike drone, his Irish brogue giving it all the grimness of an IRA ultimatum. He made little attempt to disguise his disdain for the Trump administration’s proposed policy, calling it patently absurd.
“The partners most affected would be Canada, Mexico, the EU, Japan, and South America—all among your closest allies,” he said, adding that tactical supply for the U.S. military was U.S.-based and was unrelated to the auto industry.
Representatives from Canada and Mexico—which, despite their status as strategic allies and close regional trading partners are among the president’s favorite targets in the public arena—pointed out that North American interests are deeply intertwined. In the auto industry, as in other manufacturing, a single product may cross an international border several times as it transforms from a pile of resources into a salable product.
“There aren’t very many of those because once the duty went to 25 percent, no more were imported into the United States. I caution this panel as you’re considering this, all of this is always supposed to be temporary. That’s what the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 envisioned. This is still in effect 55 years later.”
– Marshall V. Miller
“Rather than potentially strengthening U.S. national security, imposing tariffs on automotive imports would undermine U.S. security and have devastating effect on U.S. competitiveness in the automotive sector,” Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s deputy ambassador to the U.S., said at the hearing.
Only time will tell what course the administration charts for future overseas trade. Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce, spoke briefly at the beginning of the hearing, and said that his department had already received more than 2300 public comments online. (Most of them were opposed to higher tariffs for automobiles and automotive products.) His words, cloaked in the obfuscatory lexicon shared by government officials everywhere, didn’t offer much in the way of resolution.
“It’s too early to say whether or not this hearing will result in a Section 232 recommendation, as it did for steel and aluminum,” he said. “I’m interested in hearing about the global market, and whether government action is required to maintain the viability of U.S. industry.” | <urn:uuid:95233684-7657-46a3-be36-1a1f50c24e21> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hymanltd.com/via-hagerty-classic-car-experts-urge-commerce-department-to-avoid-auto-import-tariffs/ | 2023-09-26T06:36:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.958647 | 1,667 |

Welcome to the 2018 Nokia 5.1 smartphone review. We are after a new dual-SIM phone and the latest updated to the Nokia 5 model caught our attention. We liked the original Nokia 5 but at release the price was uncompetitive and not a particularly fast phone to use, great for basic stuff but not for running multiple apps at the same time or switching between them. The new Nokia 5.1 attempted to fix that problem some to have worked. The mid year 2018 Nokia 5.1 is priced around the 200 Euros as a dual SIM version and currently not available worldwide and estimated $400 is Australia if it gets released. In other parts of the world only the single SIM version will be available.
In terms of construction the Nokia 5.1 is very good. That is expected since it does has a metal back and high end looking front screen. While the materials are top end the design it’s self is not. The design is looking a little old in comparison to the latest smartphones, yet in terms of it’s low to mid range class it’s competitive.
In terms of hardware the Nokia 5.1 is specifications there’s a 2.0Ghz Mediatek CPU and 2Gigs of RAM and 16Gigs of memory with a decent 5.5 inch screen and 16 MP camera and wide 9 MP selfie camera. In the end the speciations are not particularly impressive of competitive with other phones int he same price range. The microSD memory card slot is critical if you buy a Nokia 5.1 as is only has tiny 16Gig storage and less than half of is is usable.
In conclusion the Nokia 5.1 is a decent phone and will work well for those in need of basic communication like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Gmail, videos and other messengers. The expandable memory card will help with the storage. However that is all that it will be able to impressively. The faster CPU simply isn’t enough to compensate for the low memory specs. For the price there are a few notable options like the Sony Xperia, Samsung Galaxy and other Chinese brands. Note that we didn’t include Motorola phones as since we discovered that they no longer offer Android software updates requiring you to buy a new phone if you want the latest Android OS.

TORONTO — When ceramic artists place their hands in clay, they are echoing an expressive gesture that has been with humanity for some 20,000 years. With all that in mind, you might think there is no new ground for contemporary ceramicists — but, as Earth Oracles proves, nothing could be further from the truth. The group show at Mayten’s features 15 artists, each of whom has taken their ceramic practice in a unique and groundbreaking direction.
“Coming from Iran, we had clay and ceramics for thousands of years, not only for functional purposes, but artistic purposes,” said Mayten’s co-founder Farnoosh Talaee, who co-curated the exhibition with participating artist Lindsay Montgomery. “We wanted to show how far you can go with the materials, and these are all out-of-the-box artists.”
In keeping with the gallery’s overall values of education and inclusivity, the group is highly diverse, in terms of age, gender, race, sexuality, and career trajectory. The show is quietly majority female, and features stars on the rise like Roxanne Jackson, mid-career powerhouses like Penn State University associate professor Shannon Goff, and early-career artists like Sami Tsang, just finishing her MFA at Alfred University in New York State. With such a varied group of radical ceramicists, the exhibition runs the risk of barely controlled chaos, but Earth Oracles is instead a garden of earthly delights, with sumptuous glazes, fierce and fantastical forms, and a mastery of the medium on proud display.
Standouts in terms of virtuosity include Dirk Staschke, who explores the genre of Dutch still life painting through wildly amalgamated ceramic works that combine porcelain, earthenware, and found pottery fragments into deceptively cohesive “paintings,” often surrounded by elaborate ceramic frames. The results are so immaculate that it might take an experienced potter to understand how difficult the effect is to achieve. The same can be said of a series of works by Laurent Craste, which feature traditional French porcelain vessels withstanding various abuses by metal implements. Different clays fire at different temperatures, and experience varying levels of shrinkage; the ability to master enough elements to combine them into balanced finished works is a great accomplishment. Likewise, one might be distracted by the ornate surface finishes on large vessels by Marissa Alexander, and miss the payoff she achieves by risking an incredibly thick coil and slab construction technique.
The exhibition also includes an array of satisfying finishes, from a series of objects by Sasha Koozel Reibstein that resemble moon rocks and feature velvety horns and oozing metallic tears emerging from a lacy, pumice-like matrix, to the intricately painted surfaces of Lindsay Montgomery’s vessels, which recast classic tales with all-female protagonists, and challenge notions of female youth as beauty. Montgomery’s grasp of historic decorative traditions is reflected in her form and cannily limited palette. These aspects have an ambiguous and sometimes anachronous relationship with her subject matter: for example, the character Stripe from Gremlins II stands dead center in a glade of cavorting bathers. Shannon Goff so deftly combines glazes that the same ceramic base seems to vary within a single work.
Finally, there are some outrageous experiments with subject matter. Jackson’s split heads in shiny pastel and metallic glazes contort animal forms into something demonic, fantastic, and yonic. Works by Linda Sormin shift in form and meaning from every angle, including a site-specific installation that places two of her ceramic works in conversation with a canvas spread across the floor and covered in found objects, paint, and scattered ceramic and glass shards. What appears to be visual and formal chaos suddenly reveals a tiger, a smiling face, or a torso, creating moments of recognition both compelling and disturbing. While Tsang’s work is more or less instantly recognizable as figurative, her forms require the same long looking. The artist’s voracious appetite for integrating mixed media, applying multilayered glazes, and creating intense textures is brought to bear on themes of intercultural and intergenerational disconnects. A Canadian-born child of a conservative Hong Kong family, she grew up in both Hong Kong and Canada, and has grappled with issues of cultural alienation and displacement.
All these are just glancing mentions from a show that weighs in heavily on the present moment in ceramics. Earth Oracles demonstrates that just because something has been around practically forever, it doesn’t mean there’s no room left to innovate.
Earth Oracles continues at Mayten’s (165 Niagara St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) through June 25. The exhibition was curated by Farnoosh Talaee and Lindsay Montgomery. | <urn:uuid:8bdedf80-41df-404d-a840-a18099853398> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hyperallergic.com/737420/fierce-and-fantastical-experiments-in-ceramics/ | 2023-09-26T06:31:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.952212 | 1,020 |
Snov.io and PersistIQ both offer sales engagement platforms, with similar core features such as email outreach, drip campaigns, and analytics. However, there are some key differences between the two platforms:
Contact database: Snov.io has a larger overall database of contacts and a more extensive variety of data available, whereas PersistIQ focuses more on in-depth data on individual contacts.
Integration capabilities: While both platforms offer integrations with various CRMs and tools, Snov.io has a wider array of integrations available.
Price: Snov.io's plans are generally more affordable than PersistIQ's, making it a more accessible choice for small or medium-sized businesses.
Overall, the choice between Snov.io and PersistIQ will depend on the specific needs and preferences of the user, but those looking for a more expansive contact database at a lower price point may lean towards Snov.io, while those looking for more detailed data on individual contacts and deeper integrations might prefer PersistIQ. | <urn:uuid:faf63d64-a865-4922-855d-6d236dd0dcc8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hyperise.com/compare/snov.io-vs-persistiq | 2023-09-26T07:00:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.902224 | 212 |

So, You Mean, All That Stuff About Jihad ... No Big Deal?
Imagine if Christians had committed 15,946 terrorist attacks in the past 9 years.
Imagine if Christians had done that, and then made a weak-assed video like this to try to let everyone know that there are moderate Christians out there.
The thing is, my moderate Muslim friends out there, people are murdering in the name of your religion, your holy scriptures, every day.

Bambu acquires WealthTech company Tradesocio to fuel expansion
By Leandra Monteiro
Bambu announced the acquisition of Tradesocio, a WealthTech company specialising in investment management and trading technologies with offices in Singapore, India, and Dubai. This acquisition significantly strengthens the combined business’ competitiveness globally. Bambu will now have a presence in major financial hubs and expanded digital wealth capabilities covering stock trading and cryptocurrencies.
With this acquisition, Tradesocio contributes years of experience delivering and operating high-volume trading platforms across various asset classes. The acquisition puts Bambu in a position to provide customers with a greater agency through broader system capabilities that go beyond the offerings of existing robo advisor platforms. In addition, Tradesocio’s presence across EMEA and India, along with an existing portfolio of clients, is set to further Bambu’s reach in a rapidly expanding and evolving global digital wealth market.
Ned Phillips, CEO of Bambu said, “After five years of building solid foundations, Bambu is now entering a phase of rapid growth. This deal helps us in three key areas: it expands our product offering into stocks and crypto, it gives us a wider global footprint and enables us to scale our team effectively to match exponential demand. We believe this positions us well for our Series C and ambitions of becoming the global leader in WealthTech.”
This is unlikely to be Bambu’s last acquisition as they foresee acquiring more companies that strengthen their product mix and global reach to impact the digital wealth industry. | <urn:uuid:29217d80-e9b3-4111-8ee2-6b4a48d949d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ibsintelligence.com/ibsi-news/bambu-acquires-wealthtech-company-tradesocio-to-fuel-expansion/ | 2023-09-26T06:10:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.92072 | 328 |

Flathead Municipal Airport Authority (FMAA) is the owner and operator of Glacier Park International Airport. FMAA’s Board of Directors is composed of seven members, each appointed by the Flathead County Commissioners. The Airport Authority functions as an independent public agency and is responsible for numerous responsibilities: immediate and long-range maintenance of the airport premises, management of finances and budgeting, hiring and long-term planning. In addition, FMAA governs all routine aspects of management of the airport facilities, including the terminal building, grounds, and airfield. Aircraft operations, concessions, air traffic control, and security checkpoint operations are all conducted by other organizations.
Under direction of the Board, the airport functions much like a small city. FMAA employs an airport director along with a deputy and administrative staff, IT, finance and development staff, fire and police departments, an experienced, well-trained maintenance wing. Serving together, each of the departments manage critical and specific operations. The fire department provides fire suppression and emergency medical services and is simultaneously responsible for the regular, rigorous inspection of the airfield. Airport police provide general security of airport grounds (excluding duties reserved to TSA and Customs), while the Maintenance staff is responsible for upkeep of the airport’s buildings, grounds, and vehicles. Many crucial tasks fall to them, including runway maintenance, snow removal and other tasks essential to airport safety. FMAA currently employs a staff of thirty-five dedicated airport professionals. A one year Airport Operations internship is available for those pursuing a career in the airport management profession.
FMAA also contracts for services critical to airport auxiliary operations (car rentals, parking, amenities, ground transportation, etc.). Finally, and perhaps its most important non-safety role, the Authority oversees upgrades or expansions to the airport. Through review and implementation of the Airport Master Plan, it is their task to prepare for the airport’s future. | <urn:uuid:0468412c-444c-491c-aac1-16a97e174477> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://iflyglacier.com/about-us/ | 2023-09-26T05:29:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.950103 | 384 |

For the third program in its 40th concert season, The Chicago Ensemble presents the kind of off-the-beaten track program for which it has often been acclaimed. The music of three innovators of the early 20th century – Debussy, Copland, and Prokofiev – is heard, along with a fine, overlooked piano quintet by the 19th century German Romantic composer Joachim Raff.
Members of The Chicago Ensemble appearing in this program are Elizandro Garcia-Montoya, clarinet; Mathias Tacke and Rika Seko, violins; Amy Hess, viola; Andrew Snow, cello; and Gerald Rizzer, piano and artistic director.
This event is open to the public. Tickets are $10 for students and $25 for general admission. Reserve your tickets here.

Digital Archiving Policy
To ensure the preservation, usability, and accessibility content for long term availability, there is a need for management policies and actions, called a Digital preservation policy.
Long-term preservation service(s) where the ijamscr journal is currently archived by PKP PN
Principle of Digital Archiving
Intellectual Property: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research (IJAMSCR) Published by DrSriram Publications committed to providing access to digital materials while respecting and upholding the intellectual property rights of authors and obtaining prior consent.
Access: Digital preservation activities are performed with the primary goal of long-term access to digital collections.
Authenticity: It ensures that data remain unaltered and the original data is preserved.
Challenges to the preservation of digital data
- Technology (at the level of hardware, system software, application software, data and file formats, storage media readers, and drivers)
- Lack of metadata fails to locate information, also the inability to render and read the information, due to the lack of contextual information.
- The media used to store digital records are usually unstable and deteriorate within a few years or decades at most, rendering the digital records inaccessible.
- Incompatible File formats, especially for older software.
- Digital records may be lost in the event of natural calamities such as fire, flood, earthquake, equipment failure, or a virus attack that disables stored data and systems.
- The digital records may be well protected, but so poorly identified and described that potential users cannot find them.
- Discontinuation of the journal due to any reason leads the published research to extinct, digital preservation keeps the research available.

Something I recently ran into … I use the Apache Commons Net library in some of my java code.
I ran into a problem where, when trying to upload a save file to the host via FTP, I encountered an IOException with the message “501 Unknown extension in database file name”.
Turns out someone had change the FTP server configuration to use *PATH for the NAMEFMT instead of the default *LIB.
This causes FTP output to default to ‘/QSYS.LIB/LIBRARY.LIB/FILE.FILE/MEMBER.MBR’ format instead of ‘FILE.MEMBER’.
As I didn’t want my code to be dependent on the server’s configuration, I had to change the code to set the correct name format.
When using a standard FTP client, you can issue the ‘quot site namefmt 0’ command to change the name format to *LIB (‘quot site namefmt 1’ changes it to *PATH).
So … in my code, after I establish the FTP connection, I have ‘ftpClient.sendSiteCommand(“namefmt 0”);’. This sets the naming format for the current FTP session. | <urn:uuid:7f66df42-9847-4479-858d-feae58d94381> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://imho.midrange.com/2011/06/15/using-apache-commons-net/ | 2023-09-26T06:20:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.801206 | 267 |

John Shegerian: Welcome to another edition of Green Is Good. This is the Green Sports Alliance edition of Green Is Good in beautiful downtown Chicago. We are so honored to have with us today Charlene Wall-Warren. She is the Sustainability Director for BASF. Welcome to Green Is Good, Charlene.
Charlene Wall-Warren: Thank you.
John: Before we get talking about all the great green and sustainable things you’re doing as BASF, I want you to please share your own journey. How did you even come to this place professionally and personally, where you have become the sustainability director at BASF? What was your journey like in terms of green?
Charlene: I’d love to. So I started as a chemical engineer working for BASF.
Charlene: Basically, doing project design, process design and for about 10 years. So I said, “So it’s really great to design pumps and equipment and make stuff.”
Charlene: “But I want to know where it goes. I want to know what happens to it.” I’m a bit of a geek so I like to know kind of what’s in the car, what’s in the furniture, what’s in the clothing, etc.
John: Got you.
Charlene: So about 15 years ago, BASF started a lifecycle assessment group, so we actually measure and quantify sustainability. It was a brand new job in North America and coming in as an engineer I said, “I think I can do this. It’s numerical, it’s quantitative, it’s cool. You’re looking at environmental and social” and once I tried that I got hooked.
John: Got you. And how long have you been the sustainability director there?
Charlene: I’ve been the Director of Sustainability for about two years now.
John: Got you. So you worked your way up. You are now the Director of Sustainability. Talk a little bit about – for our listeners that don’t know BASF – and our listeners and viewers who haven’t heard or want to learn more about BASF, please go to www.BASF.com. What is the mission and what does BASF do?
Charlene: So BASF is the largest chemical company in the world.
Charlene: We have 110,000 people working around the world, €75 billion of sales and over 380 manufacturing facilities. But those are the numbers.
Charlene: We have a company purpose that is we create chemistry for a sustainable future.
John: Got you.
Charlene: So it’s a really interesting place to work because we’re making chemistry and science that goes into everything from houses to cars to pharmaceuticals to vitamins. We have natural and we have fossil-based products. And it’s all about creating chemistry for a sustainable future, so you get to learn how lots of stuff is made and you get to learn how everything could be made better.
John: Wow. So what were the – coming in to be the director of sustainability, what were some of the opportunities? Given that you became a lifecycle geek, what were some of the low hanging fruit, or “fruit on the floor,” let’s just say, that you were excited about tackling when you came in two years ago, and how has that journey gone?
Charlene: So I would say one of the things we’ve been really good at for a long time – low hanging fruit.
Charlene: Is operational excellence.
Charlene: So a lot of companies are talking about greening their operations.
Charlene: How do we use less energy? How do we generate less waste?
Charlene: Use less resources? And we have something called “Verbund” – so we are a German-headquartered company.
Charlene: And it’s all about taking the byproduct from one process and using it more efficiently in another process. So that was kind of the low hanging fruit.
Charlene: The really cool stuff, though, is when you get out into the marketplace and you kind of look at what is going on in the building space or fuel efficiency and hybrids for vehicles.
Charlene: And those are the areas – I think – where people often don’t appreciate what chemistry can bring and that is the really cool stuff.
John: Well, so you have all these people around the world and buildings and also all these amazing products. Where do you start? I mean, it sounds so daunting in terms of coming in as a director of sustainability. Where do you start? Where did you start your journey? Where did you choose to start, and how is it going? And talk a little bit about then engaging with GSA, then coming here today, too. So before we get talking about GSA – where did you start and where are you in your journey in sustainability at BASF?
Charlene: Sure. Yeah. So in my particular role-
Charlene: When we started, we were working with a group called “The Sustainability Consortium.”
Charlene: And those are consumer goods.
Charlene: So if you think of big retailers and kind of the products you and I might go to the store and buy-
Charlene: There was really an interest in how could we make those products more sustainable – smaller footprint, less energy, less water, better toxicity aspects – and so that was kind of where we started.
Charlene: What landed us in the Green Sports Alliance and the sports space is because it’s about way more than just those kinds of products we may buy off the shelf.
Charlene: If you think about the stadium environment, I think about what is the stadium built out of? Are the products durable? Is it energy efficient? What is happening in the stadium? Are they managing food and food waste? Are they managing waste coming out of the stadium? Are they composting and recycling? All those kinds of things. And chemistry plays a role in each and every one of those areas.
John: Wow. So how many years has BASF been involved with the Green Sports Alliance?
Charlene: So we are, actually, this year part of their leadership council.
Charlene: And it’s a relatively new relationship for us, but it builds on over five years of work where we started out with the Seattle Mariners Safeco Field.
Charlene: Working with them on their zero-waste goals about five years ago.
John: Got you. So you started – so BASF saw the opportunity in sports and entertainment and got involved back then, and now you’re taking this leadership role with other global leaders.
Charlene: Yeah. Yeah, because for us it’s not about just putting a name up there.
Charlene: It’s really about saying, “We want to partner with a venue. We want to understand what their goals are.”
Charlene: We want to understand how chemistry can help them achieve their goals, and the most exciting thing – and this is, I think, for BASF, why we’re thrilled about this-
Charlene: We’re a science company.
Charlene: And if you look at the average person out there 70 percent or so are interested in sports.
John: You’re right.
Charlene: And it’s a much lower percentage interested in science.
John: Great point.
Charlene: So it gives us a chance to go in. Fans are interested, they’re engaged, they’re passionate. You can kind of let them know what chemistry and science is all about and build more awareness when it comes to sustainability, so it’s a great space.
John: It’s a great platform for BASF then.
Charlene: Yeah. Exactly.
John: Wow. Talk a little bit about the culture of the company. You’ve been there now quite some time. How do you take all the great work you’re doing in sustainability and message it both ways and get engagement and get engagement from your employees, and then how do we appreciate – now that you’re getting involved with the sports industry – but how did I know that when you came in and you lowered the footprint of all your great consumer products, how has that messaging typically gone? So how do you message both ways – employee engagement and then consumer engagement?
Charlene: Yeah. Sure. So in the stadium what we actually do – we have done things like Sustainable Saturdays.
Charlene: So we’ll actually partner – this is one of the things we did in Seattle – we’ll go in and say, “Let’s help teach the fans about composting and zero-waste” and things like that.
Charlene: What we do internally – and this is also one of the most exciting things – is we actually leverage our BASF team – and we’re doing this with the New York Yankees this coming July. We’re saying, “Guys, come and join us. Let’s go to a game, and you can watch the game, and you can have a good time, but we’re going to make you work for a little bit and we’re going to ask you to help us just hand out some awareness and messages about sustainability, about zero waste,” and we get so much enthusiasm from the employees. I mean, I have had employees just reach out with an email and say, “Hey, wow, I saw BASF’s sustainability moment up there during the Yankees game.”
John: That’s awesome.
Charlene: That’s awesome. So people get really excited about it.
John: Wow. And it’s great for the fans and your consumer fans, and it’s great for your employees the same way.
John: Wow. That’s so great. Well, it looks like you have a long relationship in front of you with the GSA, obviously, because it’s great for – as you said – you get to take your core business science and platform it using sports, where more people are definitely interested. And it’s so nice to have a chance to interview you, and we would like you to come back on and keep sharing the journey as you continue growing all the sustainability efforts at BASF. Thank you so much for being with us today.
Charlene: Thank you. I’d love to. Appreciate it.
John: For our listeners and our viewers out there, you’ve been enjoying Charlene Wall-Warren. She is the Director of Sustainability for BASF.

- Bhadrak, in coastal Odisha, has villages mostly dominated by women-run households. The men have had to migrate to faraway cities in search of work as agriculture becomes increasingly unsustainable with rising land salinity, savage floods, and frequent cyclones, all manifestations of climate change.
- With the nation going on a lockdown, the reverse migration began. Families that were once run by the income of their migrant family member have had to take loans in order to run their homes. Some had to send money to their migrant member in order to bring them back home.
- Back home, most of these workers now don’t want to return to the cities. But economic vulnerability and mounting debts leaves them confused and staring at an uncertain future ahead.
Four years ago, when Minoti Naik of the coastal district of Bhadrak in Odisha, decided to send her 17-year-old son to the “city” for work, it was in hope that their lives would thereon be on the road to improvement. With a meagre land-holding and depreciating land productivity that, in addition to frequent floods and cyclones, had made agriculture increasingly unsustainable in her village, Minoti and her husband had pinned all their hope on their young son.
Only, life came a full circle. In March this year, as the lockdown was implemented in the country, to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, 21-year-old Jaidev, like hundreds of thousands of other migrant workers, was left to fend for himself in Tamil Nadu where he was working as a plumber. Almost two months into the lockdown, not only had he exhausted all his money to survive, he also fell ill.
“He didn’t have enough to eat, nor the money to return home,” Minoti said in a stoic voice, “We had to loan Rs 10,000 from the self-help group I am a part of and send it to him. That’s how he could come back home.” Four years on, the Naik family — like many others — are, therefore, back to where they started: vulnerable, in debt, and staring at an unsure future.
There is no absolute number of people who migrate (seasonally and otherwise) from Odisha in search of employment. However, in the reverse-flow, around 600,000 (six lakh) migrant workers had registered with the state government portal to stay in institutional quarantine on their return when the lockdown was lifted on May 3. Media reports said that on June 8, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) informed that more than 500,000 (five lakh) migrant workers had returned home.
These figures are not absolute and like Minoti Naik said, there are many even in Sashu Bhuasuni, her village in the Chandbali block itself, who haven’t been able to come back home. “Fifty people, including my son, have come back. But there are many others who still haven’t,” Minoti told Mongabay-India, “My son spent two weeks in quarantine centre and then came home. It has been a horrible phase.”
Climate change forced them out
Almost every family in Shashu Bhusani village, where Minoti is from, has one or more members of the household who has migrated to a city thousands of kilometres away, for work. Some work as casual labourers in construction, some in mills and factories, others, like Jaidev, as plumbers. Some of the most common destinations are Bengaluru in Karnataka, Chennai in Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and a host of places in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, even Gujarat and Rajasthan.
It’s the same story in Sitalpur, another village in Bhadrak, where most households are women-led. Men, mostly in the age-group of 20-45 are missing because they had migrated, seasonally or otherwise, for work. Padmini Naik of Sitalpur, for instance, has been managing her home, tending to her two children and looking after aged mother-in-law, ever since her husband migrated to Delhi five years back and found work in a garment factory.
“The money we earned from agriculture was becoming meagre and unpredictable. When our second child was born, my husband decided that the only way we could have a good life was if he went out of the village in search of work,” she said.
A study on seasonal labour migration and migrant workers from Odisha by the Centre for Migration and Labor Solutions said that trends of migration in Odisha varies according to the region. “The percentage of household migration is higher in coastal (region), suggesting that a large number of households have one or more members migrating from the region,” the report said. The average number of migrants per panchayat was however higher in the western region.
A major reason for high rate of migration from Bhadrak, which is a coastal district, is the impact of climate change felt on agriculture. Padmini Naik’s husband, for example, was a farmer, who used to grow paddy on his one and half acre land. The productivity of the land, however, started waning over the years and he, like others, realised that the reason behind this was increasing land salinity.
In Arjunpur, another village, the effect is starkly visible — large swathes of agricultural land lie barren, with wild grass growing everywhere. Floods, say locals, have become more savage over the years. “We have always been familiar with floods. In fact the flood waters used to replenish the fields,” said a farmer, Lakhinder Rout of Arjunpur. “However, now the floods are unpredictable. When it rains, it rains so much that our standing crop is completely destroyed,” he said.
Adding to this, is the increase in the frequency of cyclones. Over the last one year, for example, Odisha and particularly its coastal districts like Bhadrak, has had three cyclones — Phani in May 2019, Bulbul in November 2019, and Amphan this May 2020.
“We have one-acre land on which my husband grows paddy. The productivity has lowered, we get about 13 quintals (1.3 tonnes) of rice (local variety),” Minoti said, “Post the paddy harvest, we had grown vegetables in the field. Everything was destroyed in (cyclone) Amphan.”
A study by Bishnupriya Saho and Prasad K Bhaskaran of the department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture in IIT Kharagpur, noted that Odisha has suffered 46 cyclones in the past four decades, between 1970-2012. Suffering a constant blow of destruction and devastation, to lives and livelihood, and weary of rebuilding everything all over again, people have therefore chosen to move out in order to support their families.
Boloram Majhi, for instance, had decided to migrate outside his village, Neduali in Bhadrak, almost two decades ago, “when the problems had just started surfacing”. “I didn’t have enough land and that too had started turning saline. I would have still stayed back, but there were no jobs in the village,” Majhi told Mongabay-India.
His first destination was a cotton mill in Rajasthan, where he worked for a few years, before moving to Bengaluru where he worked as a casual labourer in construction. “My wife has been taking care of both our children and running the house all throughout. I just kept sending the money,” he said.
Then, one year ago, Majhi decided to come closer home, and took up work in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha. “I would earn around Rs 14,000-15,000 per month, and after my own expenditures on food and rent, would send Rs 10,000 home. But ever since the lockdown, my earnings dried up,” he said.
COVID-19 forced them back home
“I have had no work and no earnings for the last three months,” Majhi went on to say, “Forget supporting my family, we had to take money on loan from someone else and they have started asking for it back.” They hardly have any savings and Majhi said that he has been fishing in the nearby river to sell the produce and sustain the family.

Almost everyone who has thus returned, now say that they don’t want to go back to the cities. “We are not sending Jaidev back,” Minoti said, “None of the boys in the village who have returned home from the big cities are keen on going back.” Lopamudra said the same. “My brothers are not even thinking of going back now,” she said, “We are grateful they could somehow come back.”
To return or not: emotion vs economics
It’s an emotional decision, but whether that would stand the test of time, particularly as they have become once again vulnerable, stuck in a debt trap and no assured source of a steady income, remains to be seen. Boloram Majhi, for instance, said, “I will return after the coronavirus (pandemic) goes away. This fishing will not sustain us. My children’s studies have to be taken care of and now we have debts to repay.”
Most families also say that they would prefer if their son, husband, or brother, were to find a job closer home, within the state, if they have to return. “My brothers will look for work within the village, maybe as agricultural labourers, and if that doesn’t work out, somewhere closer home,” Lopamudra said. Working on their own field is still not an option. Minoti Naik said the same about her son. “We would prefer if he finds work within Odisha,” she said.
Debabrat Dash of a local NGO, Pragati Jubok Sangha, said that while the state government has taken initiatives to generate employment among the returnee migrant workers, it is doubtful if they would remain at home for long. “Under the employment guarantee scheme, for example, migrant workers whose job cards have been dormant will be turned active. Online registrations have already started. There will be job opportunities, for example, in nutritional garden and vermicomposting units,” Dash said,
“Having said that, the economical impact on these workers will still be huge. I am not sure how many would agree to the Rs 207 per day wage for eight hours of work on a vermicompost pit when they were earning much more outside.” Dash estimated another five-six months after which some would return to the cities.
The Economic Survey 2016-17, in the chapter, India on the Move and Churning: New Evidence, said that a new Cohort-based Migration Metric (CMM) showed that annually inter-state labour mobility averaged 5-6 million between 2001 and 2011, yielding an inter-state migration population of about 60 million. It went on to add that the first-ever estimate of internal work-related migration using railway data for the period 2011-16 indicates an annual average flow of close to 9 million people between states. But this is still a conservative figure, considering people do not solely travel by train. Buses are another common medium of transport. Like the one, Lopamudra’s brothers took to return home.
“We know that more difficult days are coming upon us,” Minoti Naik said, “Schools will reopen and fee for my other two children have to be paid, and we will have to invest some money into preparing our field for paddy cultivation.” The family cannot cut down their ration further—they already have, since the last two months. “I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t want to send my son so far away for work again, but we will see how everything goes.”

- Lack of sufficient rainfall in Himachal Pradesh, between January and March, has caused major losses in the crops sown in winter.
- With weather variations causing overall precipitation deficiency during winter, water sources in villages and small towns in the state have already started drying up and this could lead to drinking water shortage.
- Snowfall rate has decreased not only in Himachal Pradesh but across the Himalayan region in past several decades. Temperature over the Himalayas warming due to climate change, has led to a significant melting and decline in glacier mass over the Himalayan region in the recent decades, say experts.
Madan Lal, a farmer from Bagtheru village in Himachal Pradesh’s Bilaspur district, was hoping for a good return this year for his wheat crop sown last December. But with scanty rainfall in the state, the crop production over his 10 bigha land (6 acres) is negligible.
Madan Lal told Mongabay-India that his produce this year was not even 10% of what it was last year. He said his farm was dependent on rainfall for irrigation but there was hardly any rainfall all through the winter. “The agriculture land in the entire Bilaspur district is affected because of rainfall deficiency. The government must step in for some help,” he added.
Madan Lal is not the only farmer suffering from significant financial loss.
Over 148,908 (1.48 lakh) hectare of rabi crop (sown in winter) has been destroyed due to the scanty rainfall, according to the initial assessment by the state’s department of agriculture. That is almost one-third of the cultivated area of the state. Naresh Thakur, Director, Department of Agriculture, Himachal Pradesh, told Mongabay-India, “This, as per our assessment, has caused the colossal financial loss of Rs. 130 crore (Rs. 1.3 billion).”
Thakur said, along with Bilaspur, Kangra, Hamirpur and Mandi districts were the worst affected. Among these worst affected areas, 33,520 hectares of agriculture land has been destroyed in Kangra, 36,000 hectares in Mandi and 30,220 hectares in Hamirpur.
He said the problem with Himachal Pradesh is that agriculture here is mostly rain-fed. The area of assured irrigation is not more than 20-25%. “The government is seized of the matter and will take all corrective measures,” said Thakur. On compensating farmers, he said that the state will take up the matter with centre and see financial help from National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The state has previously, too, faced financial losses due to weather change. In the 2005-06 rabi season, the damage due to drought conditions in Himachal Pradesh was to the tune of Rs. 366 crore (Rs. 3.66 billion) which included loss of agri-horti crops and animal husbandry. In the year 2002-03 kharif season, the estimated damage due to drought conditions was Rs. 707.21 crore (Rs. 7.07 billion). Before that, in year 2000-01 rabi season, the estimated damage was Rs. 360.85 crore (Rs. 3.60 billion).
Water shortage an outcome of weather changes
Agriculture is just one part of the problem that the state has been encountering due to weather peculiarities.
Himachal Pradesh state water minister Mahender Singh Thakur, during his address in the state assembly session last month on March 19, warned that the crisis of drinking water shortage has been looming large over the state due to low snowfall as well as rainfall in the past winter season.
Usually, after winter, melt-water from snowfall along with the rainfall water feed the groundwater as well as other downhill water sources such as springs, wells, bawries, lakes, rivulets, streams and rivers in villages and small towns of the state.
“But due to overall precipitation deficiency during winter, water sources in villages and small towns have already started drying up. At some places, people can now simply wade through the Beas river to cross it,” he mentioned in his assembly address.
When contacted, water minister Mahender Singh Thakur told Mongabay-India that water shortage in HP this year was due to natural reasons and the state will do everything to overcome it.
The minister also told media recently that the installation of hand-pumps and borewells was stopped last year in view of depleting water table. But it will be resumed now wherever necessary.
Himachal Chief Secretary Anil Kumar Khachi on April 17 chaired a high-level meeting in Shimla and instructed Deputy Commissioners of all districts in the state to prepare an action plan in wake of water shortage in the coming summer.
Frequent weather changes
So how serious is the weather problem in Himalayan state?
Latest data of Himachal Pradesh’s meteorological (HP Met) department shows that there has been 58% deficient snowfall and rainfall in January this year, 81% deficiency in February and 62% in March. The onset of 2021, evidently, has been tough on the state.
HP Met department head Manmohan Singh told Mongabay-India that winter precipitation in the state depends upon the western disturbance. “This time there were some fluctuations in western disturbance that affect snowfall and rainfall patterns in the state,” he added.
But a close look at the last decade of meteorological data suggests far too many frequent variations in the state’s weather pattern in recent years. For instance, the water shortage in Shimla in 2018 was an alarming event which was caused because the state had 91%, 53% and 67% precipitation deficiency for the months of January, February and March that year.
Earlier, in 2011 too, the month of January and March had 64% and 42% precipitation deficiency.
A city-wise analysis of snowfall data also establishes growing concerns of erratic weather patterns and water crisis in the state which, according to some experts, is an outcome of climate change and global warming.
For instance, this year, 2021, there has been no snowfall in Shimla and Manali for the month of January, while February had a moderate snowfall. But this has not been the first instance of low or no snowfall. Shimla had just 7 cm snowfall in 2018, 3 cm in 2016, 8 cm in 2011 and no snowfall in 2010 for the month of January. Additionally, about 17% decrease in rainfall in Shimla was observed from 1996 onwards, as per the meteorological data. Similarly, data for the month of January in Manali, shows no snowfall in 2018 and 2020 while in 2016 and 2014, rainfall was just 2 cm and 5 cm respectively.
There were years, for instance, 2017, when Manali received 150 cm rainfall in January – more than twice its average rainfall of 70 cm for the past one decade.
This variation in snowfall pattern is seen even in higher reaches of the state.
Kinnaur’s Kalpa station that is at 3000-metre elevation from sea level, 800 metres more than Shimla, received 150 cm snowfall in January 2013, but 23 cm in 2016 and just 3 cm in 2018 for the same month. In January 2020, total snowfall recorded in Kalpa was 165 cm but this year, 2021, it was below 100 cm.
Changing climate a possible reason for weather variations, say experts
Some experts link these frequent weather lapses to climate change. Anjal Prakash, who is an IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) author and the research director at Bharti Institute of Public Policy, Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, said that due to changing climatic condition and global warming, the snowfall, as well as rainfall patterns, have changed drastically in Himachal during the past couple of decades.
“The state depends on the western disturbance for snowfall but due to changes in weather and climate in eastern Europe and Central Asia, these cycles of snowfalls have been disturbed and made it very unpredictable,” he added.
Assistant Professor Farooq Azam, climate change expert at Indian Institute of Technology in Indore, told Mongabay-India, “We have entered into an era of extreme precipitation in Himalayan region meaning, thereby, that sometimes we receive more than expected snowfall or rainfall, sometimes we have dry months.”
He said the problem is that frequency of such instances is increasing and “we don’t have enough resource to predict these variations.”
Roxy Mathew Koll, climate scientist at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune told Mongabay-India that the snowfall rate has decreased not only in HP but across Himalayan region in past several decades.
“Also, the recent climate change assessment report for India shows that the temperature over the Himalayas is warming due to climate change, at a rate of 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade. At high elevations (above 4000 m), the warming rate is up to 0.4 degrees Celsius per decade. This has led to a significant melting and decline in glacier mass over the Himalayan region in the recent decades,” he added.
“Monsoon rainfall already shows a decline over the Indo-Gangetic plains, due to climate change. So, a decrease in glacier-fed flow downstream can result in an aggravated water stress for downstream communities. We need to be prepared to address such a situation,” he adds.
The impact of low snowfall and rainfall in HP is seen in record dipping of water level in reservoirs of the Bhakra dam and the Pong dam that are situated over Beas and Sutlej river that originate in Himalayan ranges. The Pong’s water level is critically low as a fall of 30 feet will empty the reservoir. The refilling season would not begin before monsoon begins in June. This in turn impacts drinking water and electricity supply. From Pong reservoir, water flows to Rajasthan, Haryana and Delhi for drinking purpose. And owing to the dip in water level, power generation in Bhakra dam too has been reduced to half.
Anjal Prakash informed that a study done by Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2010 talked about developing a climate change adaptation-focused sustainable water resources strategy for Himachal Pradesh.
“Taking the trends in temperature and other climatic factors, the study pointed towards the impact on water resources on seven aspects which included changing frequency of heavy precipitation, increase in extreme rainfall intensity, increased variability in rainfall patterns, increased likelihood of water shortages/drought, reduced levels of precipitation as snow, loss of glacier volumes, earlier snow melt, and increased temperature. It is, therefore, imperative for the state to start working towards solutions to overcome these challenges,” he added.
Himachal state too prepared a road map on climate change in 2012 in which it talked about expanding surface and groundwater storage facilities. It mentioned that all significant state development projects, including township, hydropower and industry projects, must consider the potential impacts of locating such projects in areas susceptible to hazards resulting from climate change. It sought to develop plans for an increased use of renewable energy, harnessing solar, and wind power to meet out the energy demand from projected population growth with greater energy conservation. But the state is yet to aggressively implement the action plan to allay fears of repeated change in its weather pattern.

Pregnant women and new mothers face numerous challenges when it comes to accessing adequate healthcare, particularly in areas affected by climate change. In climate-affected regions, extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense.
“Pregnant women endure increased health risks, including dehydration, malnutrition, and exposure to infectious diseases. Heat stress during pregnancy can lead to premature births and low birth weights, estimates suggest 16% higher risk of preterm birth during heatwave days compared to on non-heatwave days, and low birthweight rate 9% higher during periods with hotter than usual temperature, with babies on average 26 g lighter. Prolonged droughts can compromise access to clean water and sanitation facilities, heightening the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality. Malaria infection has been known to cause severe malaria-induced anaemia during pregnancy and increase the risk of intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, and low birthweight. Dengue transmission is also expected to increase, with approximately 5–6 B people considered at risk by the end of the century, maternal dengue infection is capable of vertical transmission to the foetus, causing foetal or perinatal mortality,” says Dr. Sabine Kapasi, Gynaecologist, IVF Specialist, Healthcare Policy, & Public health leader for global policy.
The constant threat of natural disasters and their aftermath take a toll on the emotional and mental well-being of pregnant women and mothers like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. “Climate change exacerbates existing socioeconomic disparities, leaving pregnant women and mothers in vulnerable situations. Disruptions to agricultural activities and damage to infrastructure make it harder for families to secure food and livelihoods. Limited access to healthcare facilities, transportation, and prenatal care further compounds the difficulties faced by expectant mothers,” adds Dr Kapasi.
In climate-affected areas, pregnant women and new mothers face unique challenges when it comes to accessing healthcare. Climate change has brought about an array of environmental disasters, including extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and increased disease prevalence, which disproportionately impact rural communities.
Dr Neelam Suri, Senior Consultant, Gynecology, Apollo 24|7, and Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, says, “As pregnant women and the growing foetus experience extraordinary physiological and psychological changes fairly rapidly, they are already a vulnerable lot. From cardiac changes in the form of increased heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output, to endocrine changes, to changes in renal anatomy, to changes in alimentary canal, to changes in skeletal and bone density, they are already experiencing a whole range of bodily and psychological changes.”
Similarly, new mothers go through several changes in their body and mind. Keeping in mind that the persistent high temperature is an important characteristic of climate-affected areas, when pregnant women are exposed to high temperatures for long, they might have to face still birth, congenital birth defects and preterm delivery, among other issues. And younger mothers are at an even higher risk of facing such adverse outcomes. “Similarly, poor air quality, another strong sign of a climate-affected area, too can impinge on maternal and child health by way of outcomes such as pre-term birth, low birth weight or SGA, Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) etc. And with the frequency of extreme weather events — such as excessive rainfall, cyclones and thunderstorms, floods and landslides, droughts, forest fires etc – continuously increasing particularly in climate-affected regions, expectant mothers and new mothers are likely to be thwarted form timely accessing necessary healthcare facilities, services and expertise as well as essential foods and nutrition. This makes them and the to-be-born or the newly-born even more vulnerable in climate-affected areas,” adds Dr Suri.
Dr. Vishesh Kasliwal, Mbbs, mba, dem and Founder, medyseva explains the how inadequate services coupled with climate changes affects pregnant women:
Limited Access to Healthcare:
Rural areas are often characterized by inadequate healthcare infrastructure, with limited availability of clinics, hospitals, and qualified healthcare professionals. Climate-related events such as floods, storms, and droughts can further damage or destroy these essential facilities, exacerbating the already dire situation. Consequently, pregnant women and new mothers find themselves without easy access to prenatal and postnatal care, endangering their well-being and that of their infants.
Impact on Maternal and Child Health:
The lack of timely healthcare services can lead to increased maternal and infant mortality rates. Complications during pregnancy and childbirth often require immediate medical attention, and delays in receiving appropriate care can have severe consequences. Moreover, climate-related factors, such as heatwaves and poor air quality, can directly affect the health of expectant mothers and their newborns, leading to complications and long-term health issues.
The Role of Rural Telemedicine:
Rural telemedicine offers a promising solution to bridge the gap in healthcare access for pregnant women and new mothers in climate-affected areas. By leveraging technology, we can connect these women with healthcare professionals remotely, ensuring timely consultations and access to vital medical advice. Telemedicine enables remote monitoring of pregnancies, early detection of potential risks, and provision of necessary interventions, all from the comfort of their homes.
Additionally, telemedicine platforms can provide educational resources, enabling women to make informed decisions about their health and that of their babies. Virtual support groups and counseling services can also help alleviate the emotional burden faced by new mothers in these challenging circumstances.
Ways To Help Pregnant women in climate affected areas
Climate change continues to have far-reaching consequences, and pregnant women and new mothers in rural areas are particularly vulnerable. “However, through the power of rural telemedicine, we can overcome barriers and ensure that these women receive the healthcare they deserve. By providing accessible, affordable, and comprehensive remote care, we can empower them to navigate the challenges of motherhood in climate-affected regions. Let us embrace the potential of telemedicine to create a healthier and more resilient future for all mothers and their children,” adds Dr Kasliwal.
The plight of pregnant women and mothers in climate-affected areas is a pressing concern that demands attention. “Governments, international organizations, and communities should work together to implement climate adaptation measures, including improved healthcare infrastructure, access to clean water, and emergency response systems. Social support networks and mental health services must be expanded to address the emotional well-being. Furthermore, empowering women through education, financial resources, and livelihood opportunities can enhance their resilience and ability to navigate climate-related challenges,” signs off Dr Kapasi. | <urn:uuid:82f4a4a7-2452-431c-8109-4f1c1f754601> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://india24hourslive.com/health-fitness/pregnant-women-and-new-mothers-struggle-with-healthcare-in-climate-affected-areas/ | 2023-09-26T05:34:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.940627 | 1,402 |

Going Home follows two dancers (Yaseen Manuel & Marlin Zoutman) on their journey home. As the pandemic stifled working opportunities for many artists, artists were forced to move from the city to their hometowns. The work highlights the differences of space, and how although these rural parts of South Africa have beautiful open spaces that are more “breathable”. It is also a place where creativity is not necessarily understood or embraced. Going home becomes the place in which artists are forced to go because there were no opportunities to create.

Folsom, California, Jan. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the completion of its 25th partnership, Allworth Financial, the 9th fastest growing RIA in America , has announced the purchase of $283M RedRock Financial & Insurance Services of Chico, California.

Young onset dementia on the rise with 70,800 UK adults affected as health crisis deepens
New figures released by charity Dementia UK show a ‘hidden population’ of 70,800 people in the UK who are currently living with young onset dementia — a rise of 69 per cent since 2014.
In a recent study, researchers from the Neurology and Dementia Intelligence Team, Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, analysed datasets from GP practice records in England. By using an alternative method of identifying cases, they found that the estimated number of people with young onset dementia (YOD) in England (where symptom onset occurs under the age of 65), represented an estimated 7.5 per cent of all those living with a dementia diagnosis.1
The findings, published in the Journal of Dementia Care, were used by Dementia UK to arrive at the ‘hidden population’ of 70,800 – a rise of 28,800 since 2014.2
Awareness of YOD is typically low, with symptoms often attributed to stress or depression when observed in those below 65. According to the Young Dementia Network, prevalence of YOD is higher among black and minority ethnic groups than the population as a whole, as well as among people with certain learning disabilities.
This World Alzheimer’s Month, the Dementia UK is calling for better awareness of young onset dementia and the need for age-appropriate services and care. The charity is warning that the prevalence figures for young onset dementia could be even higher than currently reported.
Dr Hilda Hayo, Chief Admiral Nurse and Chief Executive at Dementia UK, said: “We know that young onset dementia is poorly recognised and misdiagnosed which leads to delays in accessing crucial support. Worryingly, the figure of 70,800 adults who are estimated to be living with the condition in the UK, may just be the tip of the iceberg.
“Dementia is a huge and growing health crisis and with rising numbers, it is now more urgent than ever that families receive the specialist support they need.
“Right now, our specialist dementia nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, are providing life-changing support for families affected by all forms of dementia. I want to encourage all families affected by young onset dementia who are seeking support to visit our website for information and resources and to access our national Admiral Nurse Dementia Helpline and Clinics services.”
Dr Janet Carter, Associate Professor Old Age Psychiatry, UCL and Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist at North East London NHS Trust, who led the research, said:
“There is a misconception that dementia only affects older people and the figure released today using our findings as a basis, shows we need to do more to dispel this myth. Lack of crucial support could negatively impact on not just the individual living with young onset dementia, but also the whole family.”
66-year-old Chris Maddocks who lives in Eastbourne with her partner, was diagnosed with young onset vascular dementia in 2016 at the age of 60. In 2020, she was also diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. On both occasions, Chris was not referred to any services or given any information. She was left to search for answers on her own.
“I attended the Elderly Care Assessment Unit on my own, was given a diagnosis of young onset vascular dementia and told to go home to get my affairs in order. I felt like I had been given a death sentence. I cried for three months and became a prisoner in my home. My partner and I hit many brick walls trying to seek information and find the right support.
“I experienced the same after being diagnosed with Lewy body dementia and was not signposted to any services. Two weeks later, I was connected to an Admiral Nurse who finally gave me the answers that I was looking for. I was talking to somebody who understood what was happening and could explain a lot of the symptoms. And for the first time, it made sense. Without her experience and knowledge, my partner and I would have struggled to prepare for our future with dementia. Post-diagnosis, my Admiral Nurse was my lifeline.”

2Prevalence of all cause young onset dementia and time lived with dementia: analysis of primary care health records. Carter. J, Jackson. M, Gleisner.Z, Verne.J Journal of Dementia Care 2022.vol 30 No 3 — The study findings demonstrates that of the total number of people living in England who have a formal diagnosis, 7.5 per cent (33,454) received their diagnosis under 65 (young onset dementia). This estimate of the national prevalence figure of those diagnosed under 65 as 7.5 per cent, was then applied to the UK accepted estimate of people living with dementia which includes those diagnosed and those who are not — this is the 944,000 figure to reach the 70,800 figure. The young onset dementia estimate was extrapolated from those diagnosed under 65 and still living in England from the GP records studied and reported in the Journal of Dementia Care article. | <urn:uuid:c1a02065-f939-4fce-812d-49ac9b6b1137> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://integratedcarejournal.com/young-onset-dementia-rises-70800-uk-adults/ | 2023-09-26T07:03:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.955604 | 1,146 |
