In this case, we have no native Sensor. When d-link has an own API, you can check whether you can query the information from this API and then show the result in a HTTP custom Sensor. If no API is available, you can check via which protocol the information is available and e.g use a SNMP Custom Sensor to receive the information.

WHY TAKE THE CALM COURSE?
Counseling on Access to Lethal Means can help you feel prepared to talk with people about means safety.
Reducing access to lethal means, such as firearms and medication, can determine whether a person at risk for suicide lives or dies. This course is about how to reduce access to the methods people use to kill themselves. It covers who needs lethal means counseling and how to work with people at risk for suicide—and their families—to reduce access.
In case you are interested in attending CALM training – this Thursday, it’s free. Please feel free to share – there are limited spots 😊 | <urn:uuid:5c9a8e50-dd0f-4305-87c2-4b20482af9a2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kbft.org/event/free-calm-course/ | 2023-09-28T18:48:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964226 | 135 |
Thoughts are real forces. It is about harmonizing the four parts of our selves so we can feel fulfilled and learn to be successful in all areas in our life.
It begins with the most amazing discovery anyone can ever make; the discovery that we are much greater than what we originally suspected. This happens when we realize that we are more than just a body and a mind but actually have four parts that make up who we are. A body and mind, which we already know, but also a subconscious mind and a soul, which we may have not known or if we knew we had only a superficial understanding of how they worked. It is these two parts that make things really interesting and knowing this changes not just how we look at ourselves but how we view the world as well.
We must first understand that our conscious mind thinks thoughts and these thoughts are real forces. This is the first law in my Mind Power Training; Thoughts are real forces. Think about this law this week. Contemplate the reality that every thought you think is a force of energy and is having an effect in your life. Every thought! The power of our thoughts is little realized by the average person and until it is they are unlikely to be as successful as they can or should be. Thoughts are real forces. This is your mantra for this week. Repeat it to yourself not once or twice but hundreds of times. Doing this will build up a pattern of energy and help you understand the implications of this amazing law.
We are designed and wired to be tremendously successful in every area of our life. Never doubt your capabilities to be successful but rather be committed to knowing everything you can about who you are and how you function as a human being.
This blog’s takeaway: Thoughts are real forces. | <urn:uuid:1b9eced3-e7a7-423e-aa91-dc47ca1211e4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kehoe.ru/thoughts-are-real-forces/ | 2023-09-28T16:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.97499 | 361 |

Don't have time to read this now, pin it for later!
Hey Friends! If you are reading this you are ready to laser all the things but you first need to know what to get! Well below is a list of my must-have supplies for laser cutting and engraving!
This blog post includes affiliate links. What does this mean? It means you will pay no more but I will get a small percentage for the referral.
#1 Laser Cutter
First and foremost you will need a laser engraver/cutter! I have invested in a Glowforge. I find it to be a user friendly and budget friendly machine. You can grab one here and save up to $500!
#2 Cleaning Supplies
It is very important to keep your machine clean from debris. Some of the items that will help you keep it in tip top shape are:
-Vacuum to clean out the laser bed and crumb tray.
-Micro Fiber Cloths to wipe off the laser bed and dust the outer parts of the machine.
-Zeiss Wipes are recommended to clean the cameras, lens, windows and more. The wipes are safe for the laser and will not damage the unit.
-Compressed Air is perfect for getting the small debris off of the delicate places of the unit.
Glowforge has a great blog post on keeping your machine nice a tidy, you can view it here!
#3 Basic Materials and Material Prep
Now that you have your Glowforge and everything to keep it clean. You need the basic materials and material prep items.
-A good 1/8" plywood is from Woodpeckers. This wood comes unmasked and will need to be masked in order to keep it looking great after it has been lasered.
-I find masking it best when using TransferRite 582U wide 12" paper masking.
-In order to get a good adhesion to the board I use a brayer. I find the Speedball Brayer is very durable and 4" wide is perfect for this application.
-When using non-proofgrade materials it is best to know the exact height of your materials. This will ensure the engrave and cut will be set correctly in the Glowforge program. I use a metal caliper to help determine this.
-Also when using non-proof grade materials it is very important to make sure your materials are safe to use in the laser. There are many great posts in the Glowforge Forum to help you determine this.
#4 Press that Glowing Button and Start Lasering!
Now you are ready to laser away!
-I like to use magnets to hold my paper down. I mainly use cardstock to make jigs in order to know where the best place is to place my blank. You will want to make sure the magnets will not be in the line of the laser.
-Bed pins are another amazing thing. They will ensure your wood/material is down flat so you will get a good cut/engrave. You can download the file for free in the Glowforge forums.
#5 Items to finish your Projects
Now you have lasered and are ready to finish up your newest project!
-First you will want to weed all of the masking off of your project. I find a plastic razor blade is the way to go if you want to save your finger nails! Also Gorilla Tape is amazing to get all those small pesky pieces. Just wrap it around your fingers and tap your product.
-I find Sanding blocks really help get the tiny imperfections off of your materials. Such as when there is a spot of wood that didn't cut all the way though or is a bit rough.
-Some other things I love to have on hand when I am stacking wood or assembling my laser items is clamps, woodglue, and super glue gel.
#6 Stay Safe Friends!

Being surrounded by nature is a spiritual experience for me. I respond to the landscape, from bodies of water to the spacious skies, to varieties of plant life in my environment. I feel emotional reactions to color relationships in nature & enjoy expressing its range & luminosity. Patterns in nature as well as in textiles influence me. I also enjoy painting the figure and portraits, as people are a fascinating subject.
My work is included in many public and private collections including The Art Museum of Texas, The University of Texas San Antonio and The Corpus Christi Regional Transit Authority. I was named one of “The Top Ten Artists to Collect’” by Texas Monthly Online Magazine in April of 2017.
I have a Masters of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Teaching art as a Professor, I taught painting, drawing and design full time from 1981 to 2015 at Del Mar College, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Hopefully my work resonates with my viewers who might become more aware of the mystery of their surroundings after seeing my paintings. Being able to express myself by painting inspires me to make meaning out of life. | <urn:uuid:95d9340d-9b6d-4473-9f1a-d7758324c76e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kittydudicspainter.com/about.html | 2023-09-28T18:25:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.973682 | 230 |

Debt coming under control
The financial authority analyzed the effects of the Ansim Jeonhwan Daechul, a refinancing program to convert high-interest floating rate mortgages to lower fixed rate government-backed loans, which was launched a year ago, and found more consumers are choosing mortgages without a grace period with a renewed mindset about paying back loans.
In March and April of last year, a total of 31.7 trillion won ($27 billion) was provided as mortgages with fixed interest rates between 2.55 and 2.6 percent with the backing of the state-run Korea Housing Finance Corporation.
The fixed-rate refinancing program was based on the government’s principle that financial borrowings should be made at an affordable level and amortization is necessary.
FSC Chairman Yim Jong-yong emphasized the principle several times last year in response to public criticism that the government’s loosening of real estate financial regulations - loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios - caused the country’s aggregate household debt to spike to 1,200 trillion won as more people borrowed to purchase or even rent residences last year.
According to data by the Bank of Korea, total household debt including purchases on credit cards reached 1,207 trillion won by the end of last year. That was 41.1 trillion won or 3.5 percent more than the previous record set in the third quarter. Household debt including mortgages grew 3.57 percent in the last three months of 2015 compared to the previous quarter.
After the introduction of the refinancing program, about 77 percent of those who borrowed mortgages in February of this year chose amortization without a grace period, the commission said. The percentage was about 20 percent in 2014, and jumped to 62 percent last year.
“Practices of borrowing for mortgages have started to change,” said Kwon Dae-young, director of the financial policy bureau at the FSC. “More people are switching from floating rates and straight loans to fixed rates and amortization.”
Following the government’s guidelines, borrowers are even avoiding grace periods in which they can repay interest only and postpone redemption of the principal, the official added.
The delinquency ratio for the government-led mortgage program is also remarkably low compared to other programs, the analysis showed.
As of late February, the delinquency ratio for the program stood at 0.04 percent, it said.
“It is very low compared to that of ordinary mortgages or loans provided by commercial banks,” Kwon said.
Such changing perceptions about loans is helping improve the structure of accrued household debt, experts say.
“The government program has served as a catalyst for changing the general perception about debt,” said Moon Young-bae, head of CB Research Institute of NICE Credit Information Service.
International financial institutions also praised the policy.
Moody’s, one of three leading international credit rating agencies, said the refinancing program will have a positive impact on the country’s credit level as it helps reduce risks of household debt.
“In such a small, open economy, the rising percentage of fixed-rate loans will help lower risks stemming from changing interest rates,” said Kim Jung-sik, an economics professor at Yonsei University.
As the percentage of loans based on the amortization principle rose from 26.5 percent in 2014 to 38.9 percent as of the end of 2015, the government estimates that it is possible to see gradual decreases in the total amount of household debt.
“If the amortization percentage keeps increasing, the total debt amount would decline by 7.5 trillion won every year,” the report said. “Over the next 25 years, outstanding bank mortgages would decrease 186 trillion won.”

Not everyone knows what they want to do with their lives when they’re only a young teenager. This was not the case for Keene State College film lecturer Ted White. Before college, he knew that he wanted to become a filmmaker because of what it encompassed.
“You could either choose [to be a musician, an actor or a writer], or if you became a filmmaker, you could do all those things, and so that really appealed to me cause it was like all the arts are wrapped up into one,” White said.
White, originally from California, worked at the Film Arts Foundation (FAF) in San Francisco. FAF was a place where independent filmmakers had access to equipment, education programs and other resources. While working there, White said that he met many documentarians, or individuals who create documentaries.
White had never been interested in creating documentaries, calling them “boring.” However, his mindset changed when he noticed the creativity creating a documentary involved.
“I think kind of as I grew up a little bit, I felt like, ‘Oh, issues are really important. It’s fun to make up my own stories about who people might be and what things they’re dealing with, feelings they’re dealing with and activites they’re trying to struggle through. Maybe real life is actually pretty worth me learning more about.’”
Eventually, White decided to create his first documentary, which was ultimately a test run. The five minute film was based off of a “demonstration” by bicyclists, who were speaking out against fossil fuel use.
Since, according to White, climate change was not a popular topic back in 1990, the ideas presented by the “rowdy,” “creative and action-oriented” bicyclists were appealing to him. He filmed part of the demonstration while on his own bicycle.
“Wow, this is actually pretty exciting…,” he said. “I just felt like the more I learned about these people, the project branched out.”
After his “test run” was created, he decided to produce another documentary also focused on bicycling. For this documentary, which he titled “Return of the Scorcher,” he traveled across America and the globe. He visited various places such as China and Denmark, calling it a “massive adventure.”
The film compares the bicycling cultures of America to the bicycling cultures of Europe and China.
The end product was broadcasted and screened. White also sold copies of the documentary.
“Suddenly, I was like, ‘Wow, documentaries are the thing. That’s my deal now.’ Initially, I had no interest, and then once I dived in, it hit me big time,” he said.
His next documentary was called “We Are Traffic!” According to White’s website, “We Are Traffic!” tracks this leaderless, grassroots movement from its beginnings in San Francisco in 1992 to its spread across the globe. With a radical direct-action approach, the participants of Critical Mass are celebrating the bicycle and, in turn, taking on perhaps the century’s most sacred cow: the automobile.”
In his documentary, he referenced the movement as a “critical mass.” White said after that, participants in the movement began calling it a critical mass.
“As a filmmaker, you want to impact the world someway, right? You want…somehow, there to be something people take away from your film that actually changes the way they think or how they might act, and so that was really thrilling that one of my films actually reached out into regular culture and touched it,” White said.
White’s bicycling films have not only been shown in America, but also worldwide. They have also been translated into many languages.

Everett Withers and company hit the ground running as the Bobcats began fall camp at Bobcat Stadium on Monday. When fall camp began there were some things that just were a little different. There have been a lot of changes since Withers arrived but here are most of them.
Wide receivers Brice Gunter, Justin Gamble and Demun Mercer were all dismissed for breaking team core values. Gamble suffered an auto accident and is currently in ICU. No further updates so far about his health.
Eddie Printz, a graduate transfer from Missouri joined the team this summer to play quarterback for the Bobcats. Printz will challenge three-year starter Tyler Jones for a starting quarterback position.
Associate head coach John Wiley decided to leave Texas State for personal reasons. To replace Wiley, the Bobcats hired Troy Douglas to coach safeties. Douglas came from Florida State where he served as quality control.
Freshman defensive end, Ramon Readus, was dismissed from the team for breaking team core values a little before fall camp started. He was arrested in July.
Sophomore Nick Bingham was moved from running back to outside linebacker during the summer. Once fall camp started he then decided to leave the program.
Since Withers took over the program in January, 17 players have either been dismissed or have left the team.
There have been changes in various positions for Texas State and the most notable is L.G. Williams who will be a utility player for the Bobcats. Williams was recruited from Cibolo Steele to play quarterback but will have different position roles for the Bobcats. Williams has been playing wide receiver in the first week of fall camp. L.G. can also be seen in special team drills.
Another change in the offense is sophomore A.J Krawczyk to change positions from running back to wide receiver.
The wide receiver position is one to be looking at over the development of fall camp.

- Detta evenemang har redan ägt rum.
29 oktober 2021 - 31 oktober 20211500SEK – 3100SEK
We are honored to invite you again to a weekend retreat. We look forward to seeing more brothers joining, to embrace the challenge of vulnerability, and to give room for the power of human connection.
The theme this time is commitment. To live a life of purpose is based in commitment. If we can’t commit – wheather it is to a relationship, to our work, to our values, to a healthy lifestyle, to a workout routine, to being a good parent etc – we will just follow whatever feels good in the moment, and we are at risk of getting ruled by addictions and superficiality. To live a life of depth depends on our ability to commit and dedicate.
We will explore this theme through sharing, enquiry, yoga, meditation, and other experiences. At times it will be cozy, and at times it will be freaking challenging. Just as life is. To consciously choose to face different kinds of situations and experiences will prepare you for when life throws unexpected things your way.
The retreat includes:
- Kundaliniyoga and meditation
- Gong relaxation & Sound healing
- Self-reflection, inner enquiry and sharing circles
- Cold baths & Sauna
- Martial art games
- Voice work
- Building trust with other men
- Nourishing food
- Discovering and developing your relation to nature
- and more
The weekend is spent at Skeppsudden, a beautiful retreat center 2 hrs south of Stockholm. Surrounded by nature, the water and the heat of the sauna, we are close to the elements and the sensations in the body. In supportive community with other men, we explore different sides of ourselves, some known, some unknown.
Klas Landahl is a full-time teacher of Kundalini yoga and meditation at Stockholm Kundaliniyoga Center. He has studied personal development, leadership and self-empowerment with many different teachers for many years. He shares this knowledge through workshops, courses and the one-year Kundaliniyoga Teacher Training he is running with his wife Annki. Klas is also a passionate runner and athlete, always open for new ways to strengthen and challenge the body into better health and capacity. He has worked with Yoga for Men for many years.
Mateuz Krawiec is a Sound & Movement Artist, Yoga Teacher and founder of Yoga Village Festival. He is teaching in the Urban Om Yoga Teacher Training and holds Relaxation Gong Concerts in Stockholm. In his work he is looking for ways to create Union of Body, Mind & Awareness. His inclusive approach in the space he holds allows for people to explore many ways to come into a meditative state. His background in Yoga and Soundhealing as well as experience with dance, physical theatre, internal martial arts and movement practices open a broad landscape of possibilities for the participants.
“I graduated in law yet helping people to raise consciousness in organic ways became my purpose.”

Software apps and online services
Hand tools and fabrication machines
I will explain in this tutorial how to control LEGO Mindstorms NXT components from a myRIO running LabVIEW code.
I did this project a while ago during my studies and I thought it might interest some people. During an internship at the University Transilvania of Brașov in Romania I had to work on a concept of robot for cleaning solar panels. I had at my disposal a myRIO running LabVIEW and LEGO Mindstorms NXT components. In order to make everything work together I had to "hack" those components to be able to control them from the myRIO.
This tutorial assumes you already have a basic knowledge on how LabVIEW works. It is divided in two parts:
1. Hardware: The components specifications, modifications to make and PCB boards.
2. Sofware: LabVIEW code running on the myRIO to command and/or read the components.
The components I'm going to talk about are:
- NXT motor with encoder
- NXT ultrasonic range sensor
- NXT touch sensor
myRIO is a device developed by National Instruments. It’s an embedded hardware device, mostly destined to students for educational purpose. In order to teach engineering and to be used like a controller. As it's everything but cheap I don't expect this tutorial reach hobbyist but could be useful to students.
The device can communicate through USB or Wi-Fi to a computer or other National Instruments devices (such as CompactRIO for exemple). For more information on the myRIO, the official data sheet can be found here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/376047c.pdf
Check it to know the name of the pins!
The device includes several inputs/outputs (analog and digital), two jack connectors (that act like input/output), ground connectors, 5V and 3.3V supply. myRIO also have an integrated 3-axis accelerometer and four programmable leds.
For the rest of the tutorial I would be referring to any digital input/output by "DIO" followed the number of the pin, and to any analog intput by "AI" followed by the number of the pin.
myRIO includes a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). Contrary to standard chips, the FPGA is a component which is physically modified to imitate logic gates in order to process the code. The main difference is the speed of execution (44MHz), superior to the real time processor, and the possibility to execute real parallel codes. However before every execution the program needs a long compilation time.
LEGO NXT Wire
The Lego Mindstorm devices use a modified cable based on the RJ12 connector. The position of the latch is modified to make it incompatible with standard RJ12
In order to use the NXT devices, it’s important to be able to create those wires. A regular RJ12 sockets crimping tool can be used.
The other methods (which have been using), consists of cutting the latch and sticking it on the edge. This method is explained here:http://www.philohome.com/nxtplug/nxtplug.htm
The RJ12 connectors on the NXT control brick act like this:
- Pin 1 : PWM output signal 1
- Pin 2 : PWM output signal 2
- Pin 3 : Ground
- Pin 4 : 4.3V power supply
- Pin 5 : Input value (digital or analogic)
- Pin 6 : Input value (digital or analogic)
For each component I will detail the wiring of the RJ12 connector and the myRIO pins associate to it in my project (useful for the code and the PCB).NXT Motors
The motors we will talk about are the ones included in the Lego NXT Mindstorm kit, often called "NXT Motor". Like the NXT sensors, the servomotor use a modified RJ12 cable, composed of 6 wires.
- Wire 1 – White : Motor supply 1
- Wire 2 – Black : Motor supply 2
- Wire 3 – Red : Ground
- Wire 4 – Green : Encoder supply(4.3V)
- Wire 5 – Yellow : Tach 1(Encoder 1 value)
- Wire 6 – Blue : Tach 2 (Encoder2 value)
The nominal power supply for the motor is 9V. Applying this voltage to one or the other motor supply allow to control the direction of rotation.
Mechanical Characteristics of the Motor
- Nominal voltage : 9V
- Nominal speed : 170Rpm(Rotations per minute)
- Current : 60mA
Characteristics when motor blocked (with 9V):
- Torque to counter : 50 N.cm
- Current : 2A
Due to the high current, and even if the motor is protected by a thermistor, the motor will be damaged is the shaft is blocked for more than few seconds.
In order to control the speed and the load of the motor, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technic is used. The power signal supplying the motor is a square signal alternating between high pulse and a 0V state. The width of the pulse, proportionally to the width of the whole period (call duty cycle) gives the percentage of the "voltage used by the motor". For example 9V supply with a duty cycle of 50% will act like a 4, 5V supply.
A quadratic encoder is integrated in each motor. Two wires (one for each light sensor) give information about the actual position of the motor and are used to control it. This technology uses a disc rotating with the motor. A led illuminates through the holes of two tracks, and on the other side a photo sensor changes states when the encoder rotates.
Here are the pins used by the encoders:
- Encoder Motor 1 : pin 23 and 25: DIO6 and DIO7
- Encoder Motor 2 : pin 27 and 29: DIO8 and DIO9
Because myRIO can’t deliver 9V supply and handle directly the current needed for the motor, an electronic card with an H-bridge has to be crafted.
The H-bridge used in this tutorial is the famous L298.
One H-bridge can control up to two motors. The pin ENABLE allows the motor to turn, and the two pins OUTPUT control the direction.
By applying a PWM to one of the input, and by supplying the enable and the other input we allow the motor speed to be controlled. To invert the direction, the other input need to be put down.
Applying the PWM on the enable is less effective. Indeed, the motor will act half powered (when pulse is high) and totally not-powered (pulse down). This reduces the load of the motor.
The card is based on the schematic of the Motor Driver 2A Dual L298 H-Bridge for Arduino. Each board can handle two motors. Four leds allow the user to know if the motor is powered supplied and for which direction. Schematics and files can be found at the end.
The board is made to be directly connected to the myRIO outputs. A connector on the board allows connecting other devices to the myRIO through the board (because the board takes all the space for the outputs on the myRIO).
The pins used for motor power supply and H-bridge control are listed below (9V) :
- Input 1 : pin 13 : DIO1
- Input 2 : pin 15 : DIO2
- Enable A : pin 11 : DIO0
- Enable B : pin 17 : DIO3
- Input 3 : pin 19 DIO4
- Input 4 : pin 21 DIO5
In order to control 4 motors in my project (2 NXT motors for driving, a NXT motor for controlling the arm angle and a standard DC motor to rotate a brush) I needed 2 PCBs (as each one can command 2 motors). I won't explain how to make a PCB as internet is full of tutorials on how to do it. Special thanks to Assoc Prof Dr. Petru Cotfas for the PCB design (available at the end).
You can measure the current going through the DC motor by reading the SNS0 and SNS1 pins. On each channel will be a voltage proportional to the measured current, which can be read as a normal analog input, on the analog inputs A0 and A1. It is calibrated to be 3.3V when the channel is delivering its maximum possible current that is 2A.
In this project the pins for motor sensing are:
- Current sensing Motor 1: AI0
- Current sensing Motor 2: AI1
As its name suggest, an ultrasonic sensor use ultrasound to measure the distance to an obstacle. The principle is very simple: an ultrasonic wave is sent by the sensor, and will collide on every object in front of it. The wave will then come back to the sensor, and the time between the sending and the receiving is proportional to the distance to the object. The drawbacks of this technology are the inability to measure very close object (there is a “dead zone”) and the impossibility to use multiple ultrasonic sensors in the same time (they will disturb each other).
- Wire 1 – White : +9V powersupply
- Wire 2 – Black : Ground
- Wire 3 – Red : Ground
- Wire 4 – Green : +4.3V powersupply
- Wire 5 – Yellow : I2C Clockline (SCL)
- Wire 6 – Blue : I2C Data line(SDA)
Here the characteristics of the sensor:
- Range : From 0 to 255 cm (theory range, real range is from 4cm to 255cm due to the “dead zone”)
- Accuracy : +/- 3cm
- Directivity : Cone of approx.30°
The sensor is more efficient with hard and large surface objects. Soft and curved objects give a worse reading.
The sensor can be used in different mode: single shot or continuous mode. By default the sensor is in continuous mode, and it’s continuously making new measurements that are registered on the first memory slot. In single shot mode, new measurements are made when asked, and stored in every memory slots (8 available, which means it’s possible to store maximum 8 values). For this application, we only use continuous reading mode.
Those tests are not really necessary to use the sensor but I thought they would be a nice addition to the topic. (Test not made by me, data are from http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/mindstorms/sa_nxt/index.php?page=tests_us).
Test made with a static sensor, the object used as a target is a small cardboard box (14.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 6 cm).
From the results above it can be deducted (for a static use), that for small distance the accuracy is good (for a non-industrial sensor) and not very accurate at the very beginning of the range (measured value bigger than real value).
Test made by moving slowly the sensor to a wall in continuous reading mode (speed of approximately 30cm/s).
From the results above, it can be deducted that some areas are not accurate, especially between 25cm and 50cm where the sensor can return the value of 48cm. Also on all the range the sensor returns sometime the error value (255).
The sensor uses the I2C protocol to communicate. This is a protocol Slave/Master that uses 2 wires : one for clock and one for data. The wire for data can be reversed to transmit data from the master or from the slave during the communication.
In this project, the pins used for the communication are:
- SCL (Clock) : DIO12 (ConnectorMXP B)
- SDA (Data) : DIO13 (ConnectorMXP B)
The address of the device is 02 in a 8-bit context or 01 in a 7-bit context.
Also the I2C protocol used by NXT is a little bit different than standard I2C. First the frequency is not the same as standard speed nor high speed I2C; it’s around 9600hz (measured value around 11khz). Furthermore to communicate with this sensor you will need to add an extra pulse without data after any Repeated Start.
Mistakes to Avoid
One of the problem by using myRIO was that some digital Input/Output from myRIO are using a pull-up resistor of low resistance (the DIO 14 and 15 from the connector A and B). The sensor wasn’t able to pull down the line enough to transmit data, it’s important to use other DIO, which are using a bigger resistor.
Also the sensor need 4V for its I2C communication and myRIO delivers only 3.3V. It’s enough to make the communication works, but it’s also possible to use a board that allowsI2C between devices with different voltages.
The device returns a value: a 8 bits integer directly proportional to the distance (the value in decimal is the distance in centimeters). Except for the value 255, which means nothing in sight (out of range) or an error.NXT Touch Sensor
The touch sensor is a very basic sensor. It’s a digital sensor that is either on high or low state.
The wiring is made as follow:
- Black : ground
- Green : 4.3V supply
- White :
When high (4, 9 V) sensor not activated
When low (<1 V) sensor is activated2. Software
The myRIO is the robot controller and is programmed using LabVIEW. Its program is split into two parts: a part of the code running on the FPGA (for the advantages and drawbacks see FPGA section above), and the other part of the code running in the Real-Time controller, a "standard" processor.FPGA Code Overview
The code on the FPGA mostly consists of a while loop for each actuator/sensor.
The motor control is done by using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation as explained above). The four motors are controlled in the same loop in order to reduce the space taken on the FPGA.
For the first three motors (NXT Motors described above), the code is the same. The speed value, direction and motor state (enabled or disabled) are sent by the real-time host
The "enable" value is directly connected to the Enable pin. For the direction, a case structure turns the value of one of the output pin on high or low level. The polarity of the other output pin is managed in a sequenced structure.
- (1) The first frame initializes a global timer for the loop (in this case 20 000 ticks), that means the whole sequence will always last this long.
- (2) The second frame deactivates the other motor output. In the same frame a calculation is done: the whole loop time minus the time sent by the real-time host (the -1 decremental function used on the result is to take in account the time spent in this frame, 1 tick).
- (3) Third frame: wait function using the result of the calculation. The output stays inactive during this time.
- (4) Last frame: After the wait, the output is activated; this frame stays until the global timer is elapsed.
So the speed of the motor is modulated by the time sent by the real-time host. Indeed, this time will change how wide the high pulse is, proportionally to the period time.
No NXT Motor
The fourth motor is not a Lego NXT motor, it’s a standard DC motor used to make the brush of the robot turns in my project. This motor needs a 6V power supply and only a 9V is available for the robot. In order to reduce the voltage a fixed value PWM is used. The other output is wired on true and the enable is the only controllable parameter. This part is not necessarily useful if you don't plan to add an external motor to your project but I found that it was a nice addition to the tutorial.
The value delivered to the FPGA motor control loop is calculated in a sub-vi in the real-time host. A PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) function is used. If you don't know what a PID is you might want to google it before continuing.
Here the explanation for the code (see pictures above)
- (1) PID Values sent by the user :
- · PID gains, which needs to be determined
- · Reset (to reset the output)
- · Velocity wanted
- · Actual velocity, measured by the encoders (in the case of a speed PID, it will be the position in case of a position PID)
- (2) PID output (calculated through the function), vary from -100 to 100
- (3) Test if the result is negative (move backward), and modifies the value of “direction”
- (4) Calculations:
- · Absolute value
- · Multiplies by the period (20000 ticks)
- · Divides by 100 to obtain a result proportional to the period
- (5) Current sensing : if the value is superior to 2A, which is read as the value “2702”through the analog input, the Boolean value become true.
The encoder included in the NXT motor is a quadrature encoder, a type of incremental encoder. As explain in the hardware part, this sensor has two digital channels.
- If the value of the channel B is the same as the previous value of the channel A, the counter is moving forward.
- If the value of the channel B is not the same as the previous value of the channel A, the counter is moving backward.
The program for the encoder is split into two parts to save space on the FPGA. The role of one of the program part (running on FPGA) is to acquire data and the role of the other (running on the real-time host) is to compute the results.
As written above the FPGA part of the encoder reading code focus on acquiring data. The three encoders are put in the same loop.
- (1) Compare, for each channel, the current value with the previous value. If for one channel the value changes, it means there is a movement and the Boolean value changes to notify it.
- (2) Knowing if there is movement or not, the program chooses either to add the value to the position shift register or to use the previous position value.
- (3) Compare (as explain before) the previous value of the channel A with the current value of channel B to know if it’s an increment or a decrement.
- (4) Reset button that put the 0 value in the position shift register
The encoder code on the real time controller computes the data (position) obtained in the FPGA code to get the angle, the speed and the acceleration.
First, the code uses the position to know the angle (absolute value), number of tours, and the angle in the in the current tour.
- (1) Divides the number by 4 of count to have the number of pulses.
- (2) Divides by 180 to obtain the number of turn (a pulse each two degrees). The rest is used (after being multiplied by 2) to have the value of the degree in the current tour.
- (3) Multiplies the number of tour by 360 and add the degree of the current tour to have the number of degree in absolute.
The code also computes the velocity and the acceleration. To do that a “Time Interval” is chosen by the user. The program will then count the number of pulses during this interval (Pulses/interval = speed)
The calculation of the acceleration just use the shift register to know the difference between current speed and the last iteration speed.
For the initialization, a case structure with a first call function helps to initialize the value.Ultrasonic Sensor
As for the motor, the control of the ultrasonic sensor is split between the FPGA and the real-time host.
This simple vi mostly consist of a case structure. This case (empty for the value “false”) will be executed only if the FPGA sends the value “I2C FPGA Running” as false.
- (1) Inside the case a sequence structure will first read the previous value delivered by the FPGA code (and then convert it into a number)
- (2) Waits 10ms
- (3) Sends again value to be sent through I2C protocol to the sensor
/!\ Be careful about the value “255”, which is a “nothing in sight” value (or error) and that can be delivered by mistake when the sensor is moving (see accuracy tests in the hardware part of the tutorial). It is recommended to collect the distance a few times before giving an order to the robot (or to ignore 255 values)
As explained before, the sensor communicates with I2C. However I was unable to connect to the sensor using the existing I2C function in LabVIEW. I realized by analyzing the signal with an oscilloscope that the I2C protocol used by LEGO presents some differences with the standard protocol.
- Firstly, the frequency of the communication is not the same as standard speed nor high speed I2C, but around 9600hz according to data sheet. However by analyzing the signal between the sensor and the control brick, we get a value around 11khz. This value is used in the code.
- Every time you need to read a value from the sensor, a repeated start is needed. Even if repeated starts exist in standard I2C, they are not very common.
- It’s also needed to add an extra pulse without data after any Repeated Start.
The communication is made by a sequence structure. This sequence reads the first register, that contains the value of the continuously reading mode (no other modes are used).
According to the sensor data sheet, the format of the signal sent is:
The three first frame initialize the communication (there are making the “Start Condition” of every I2C communication: both data and clock are up, data goes down and then clock goes down). A boolean variable “I2C FPGA Running” is set to true to prevent the real-time host from acting until the communication is over.
Then, the first and second bytes are sent through a “Write” sub-vi.
This sub-vi is composed of three frames. The first sends the data through a “1-byte transfer” sub-vi, which we will detail below. Then another sub-vi manages the acknowledgement. The last frame goal is to check if the line is held low by the receiver to finish.
Inside the “1-byte transfer” sub-vi, the “1-byte transfer” sub-vi is running in a while loop executed 8 times (8bit = 1byte). In this loop another sub-vi sets the value of the data line to either 1 or 0 (in function of the bit wanted) and then made one clock pulse.
The "acknowledge" sub-vi uses a “Set Output Enable” function to change the behavior of the output/input for data. The Boolean value “Acknowledgement” is used to know if the acknowledgement is sent by the master or the slave. While doing this, a clock pulse is made.
An empty 1-bit transfer function is used to simulate an extra pulse without data. The repeated start is obtained very easily by a simple sequenced structure.
Right after the repeated start, the third byte is sent through the same “Write” sub-vi as before. A delay is applied is the next frame. This delay tends to imitate the behavior of the NXT brick when it communicates with the sensor (seen by analysis).
It’s better to put this delay in order to give the sensor some time to react. The last frame uses an “I2C Read” to read the value from the device.
This sub-vi works the same way as the “Write” sub-vi. Except that the value in read instead of written.
A “Set Output Enable” function is used to turn the pin into an input.
And finally the stop condition is sent (clock high, then data high). In the meantime the values “I2C Start” and “I2C FPGA Running” are set to low again.Touch sensor
For the touch sensor, the use of only one function in the real-time host is enough. The sensor is just connected to a digital input.
Now you get everything you need to know in order to make the LabVIEW code works on myRIO! I hope this project/tutorial will help some people.
Remember that I did this project few years ago, some technical mistakes might still be here. My English level was also way worse at that time and some spelling or grammar mistakes may have been copied into this tutorial as well.

MLB CELEBRATES THE PINNACLE OF AN UNPRECEDENTED SEASON
WITH THE RELEASE OF “THE 2020 WORLD SERIES”
Hall of Fame Broadcaster Vin Scully Narrates the Official World Series Documentary that Chronicles the First Dodgers Championship Since 1988
In-Depth Interviews with Dodger Superstars including Mookie Betts, World Series MVP Corey Seager, Clayton Kershaw Plus Unparalleled Access to MLB’s Postseason Bubble Gives Fans Unique Look at 2020’s Historic Championship.
Two-Disc Blu-ray™ + DVD Combo Pack and DVD Available to
Purchase & Download on December 8
LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK (November 11, 2020) – Like so many events, the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped how this MLB season looked and felt. After navigating unprecedented challenges, playing a restructured regular season, a new postseason format and the first neutral site World Series in modern history, the historic 2020 season culminated in an unforgettable Fall Classic and with the Los Angeles Dodgers being crowned champions for the first time in since 1988.
Dodgers fans can rejoice and relive all the excitement, drama, and life-changing moments of the 2020 World Series® against the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays, in the official 2020 World Series film from Major League Baseball. The documentary will be available in stores December 8, 2020 on a two-disc Blu-ray+DVD combo pack and DVD from Shout! Factory and Major League Baseball. It will also be available on the same date digitally, to own and rent from all major platforms.
Legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully lends his signature voice to “THE 2020 WORLD SERIES,” taking fans on heartfelt journey to the 2020 championship through his unique baseball perspective. As the 1982 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, which enshrined him in the broadcasters’ wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Scully has covered many of baseball’s most thrilling moments, including Sandy Koufax‘s four no-hitters, Hank Aaron‘s 715th home run and Kirk Gibson‘s dramatic home run in Game One of the 1988 World Series. He has voiced over the narration for seven previous World Series documentaries including in 1959 (Dodgers), 1963 (Dodgers), 1965 (Dodgers), 1979 (Pirates), 1980 (Phillies), 1981 (Dodgers) and 1986 (Mets).
“It was 32 years since the Dodgers won a World Series and the seventh in the history of the organization, bringing great joy to their fans and the city of Los Angeles in particular,” said Scully. “This is their winning story against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it’s an honor for me to recount just how they did it.”
With MLB playing in a postseason bubble, media presence and access was limited. Producers of this year’s documentary utilized on-site crews with approved access as well as other feeds available to capture all the pulse-pounding action and emotion of the season. Expertly crafted from hundreds of hours of footage, the official World Series documentary gives fans a front row seat to this extraordinary championship run through highlights from the entire postseason and in-depth interviews and exclusive bonus features including regular season highlights, clinching moments, featurettes and more. | <urn:uuid:0c760285-4eb0-4a44-a38f-9206ea41b7a6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ladodgerreport.com/product-review-dodgers-official-world-series-film-documentary/ | 2023-09-28T18:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.942624 | 1,041 |
There is a lot to do on a farm, and the following tips to increase your farm’s productivity are probably things you have considered. Don’t worry though, not every tip is going to cost a chunk of cash. There are several things you can do to increase productivity on the farm, whether you are looking to implement new technology or simply improve your current setup.
Invest in Agriculture Education
One of the tips to increase your farm’s productivity is to invest in agriculture education. The world is ever evolving and the same goes for the world of agriculture. New technology is always coming out and keeping up with it might feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There are plenty of options when it comes to agriculture education, whether you are a new or seasoned farmer. There are programs with specialized training on various techniques and machines, as well as agriculture publications and online resources available. Regardless of what you would like to learn about or improve, there are many new techniques and machines to help increase your farm’s productivity.
Invest in Farm Management Software
Farm software can optimize productivity by efficiently managing farm operations. This is done by automating farm activities for you. Since farming is a business, utilizing farm management can efficiently measure profits. Farm management software can also manage risk and develop plans, therefore helping with the business side of farming that can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Investing in farm management software is smart because it will help you understand how your crops are doing and give you some level of control over their success by allowing you to adapt accordingly. Using farm management software will ultimately increase productivity by giving you a detailed analysis to understand how your farm is doing overall.
Utilize Water Management
A lot goes into successful crops, but it is a smart idea to utilize water management if you are interested in increasing your farm’s productivity. Irrigation is the process of applying specific and controlled amounts of water to crops. When implementing an irrigation system, make sure you choose the most optimal irrigation tires for the soil type and irrigation practice. Just like anything else, an irrigation system should be specific to your farm’s needs, so be sure to consider everything before deciding which irrigation system and tires work best for your farm. | <urn:uuid:e7af0328-e433-42f4-8f1b-203e2eedf652> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lakecountybanner.com/tips-to-increase-your-farms-productivity/ | 2023-09-28T17:10:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.956321 | 461 |

Sophie Spinosi, a passion for materials
Passionate about ceramics, Sophie Spinosi chose to make it her profession after years spent in media consulting.
“Producing something with my hands that lasts over time makes more sense to me every day,” confides this artist, who studied at the Arts Décoratifs before training in several workshops and finding her own style: free, textured and colorful forms.
This elegant Parisian has set up her studio in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, under the rooftops, where she experiments without restraint.
Her preferred materials? Earthenware and the enamels she combines with it for their material effects, their brilliance, and a result that could just as easily pass for shagreen leather.
Nothing delights her more than starting out with her hands in the clay, not knowing what will come of it.
A marvel without a doubt. | <urn:uuid:1e90ef65-cd9c-4b3f-863c-692ab74c37fb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lamaisondecommerce.com/en/portfolio-item/sophie-spinosi/ | 2023-09-28T17:58:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.946244 | 199 |
One acre with ocean views at Habaraduwa
As well as views out to the coast at Habaraduwa/Talpe, Koggala Lake can also be spotted from this one acre plot (1.1 acres/182 perch). The topography is perfect for building a villa with a gentle slope up to a level plateau at the top of the land. The plot benefits from a nice selection of mature trees along with some feature boulders.
The neighbourhood is quiet – jungle and a few villas. Mains water and electricity are available but not connected and there are two access roads.
Habaraduwa beach is approximately 1km by road.

Did you know that Lanzarote has one of the worlds longest promenades. An project to build a walk way around the island was thought up over 5 years ago. There is now a promenade stretching 26 kilometers which has been named “Solo Dos Pasos” (Just two Steps).The route is made up of a mixture beautiful coastal views stretching from Costa Teguise passing through Arrecife, La Concha, Playa Honda and Puerto del Carmen. Extending from the paved walkway, a cross country path continues from Puerto del Carmen to Puerto Calero Marina.
The longest promenade recorded was in La Coruna which is 13 kilometers and Atlantic City has one which is 9.25 kilometers.
Promenades are great for promoting eco friendly mobility. Many people use these routes for biking and running and skating | <urn:uuid:f2a72ff5-563f-4a51-9d4e-780f1144a6a9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lanzarotevillachoice.com/2016/08/lanzarote-and-the-worlds-longest-promenade/ | 2023-09-28T18:02:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.944978 | 172 |
PKR deputy president and Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli says PH will not agree to a pardon for former prime minister Najib Razak. “We will discuss it within the unity government and we will discuss it in the Cabinet,” says Rafizi on BFM’s The Breakfast Grille. “But I think it’s a given that PH will not agree to it.” After DPM Zahid Hamidi successfully pushed for a DNAA in his case, there were wild comments that PH is now corrupt and will also free Najib.

Rafizi has just shot down this idea showing that PH is committed to the rule of law. Najib was convicted in July 2020 on charges of abuse of power, money laundering and criminal breach of trust over SRC International funds amounting to RM42 million. He spent his first of 12 years in jail and was fined RM210 million. | <urn:uuid:2e9e7944-5f76-40be-ade0-439a3bda9453> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://latestmalaysia.com/2023/09/14/pardon-najib-ph-not-agree/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.977922 | 209 |

A cuddly little lamb named Archie, who lives at the Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Temecula, California, shows his love for his adopted humans by dancing with them and helping to play guitar.
Dancing lamb? YES and he is so demanding about it…Baby Archie loves Dave so much and is always seeking him out, chasing him and now curious about the thing that makes these noises.
Sale Ranch, which is a sanctuary that gives refuge to animals discarded by the food industry, adopted Archie in December 2021 after being informed of his plight by The Little Farm Rescue. Sadly, the orphaned lamb was very weak and hungry when they first located him.
Our friends at Little Farm Rescue received a call about a baby lamb born just before Christmas who was orphaned and unable to eat. He was incredibly weak, starving and his tiny body was shutting down. Unable to take a bottle he requires tube feedings multiple times a day to ensure he’s getting his calories.
Just a few months later, and with a great deal of care, Archie became an incredibly loveable and gregarious part of the extended farm family.
Archie is a professional bottle sipper, hay eater and growing fast like watered weeds do. If you’ve been following us you’ve seen how joyful he is and his transformation. In fact, he’s so happy that he often can’t contain his joy and bounces everywhere, such a beautiful sight! | <urn:uuid:fe5799f9-b1ce-468a-b96e-b472f2b2da78> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://laughingsquid.com/lamb-dances-plays-guitar-with-humans/ | 2023-09-28T18:57:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.987029 | 301 |

SO not a lawyer but the situation seems to be the fault of the other driver. Considering that there was a traffic incident up ahead (I'm assuming you could see the incident) it's not out of the realm of possibilities that he was well aware of the traffic situation. Given the gap space between you and the driver is 10 feet, and you had already crossed the lane line with your car, properly signaled, had he failed to apply the breaks it would have been because he was aggressively trying to intimidate another driver on the road. I haven't looked up the law, but California does have laws against aggressive driving and road rage, and the driver's behavior could be a violation of the law in and of itself, which greatly puts culpability on the driver if proven. If such an accident occurs, you should get his insurance information and then make sure to get contact information for any witnesses, especially if they can back you you up. If the driver is hostile, call 911 and let them know that you are in an accident and do not feel safe exiting your vehicle and why (the other driver) so there is a record of your statements in the moment. Avoid any statements that could be construed as guilt to the other drive (I am so sorry might be hostile, but a lawyer may use that to imply you knew you did something wrong) and don't be aggressive.
Tactically, in a lane closure I have found that the furthest lane from the accident is going to be the one that moves the quickest and that by waiting until the merge is forced by responding units. The closed lane will merge into the opened lanes in a zipper style (open lane car followed by one closed lane car followed by open lane car) and instructions given by police officers always supercede posted restrictions and rules of ordinary operation (If a cop waves you through a red light, you won't be penalized for driving without the right of way through an intersection.).
Again, ultimately who is at fault is up to the cops who respond and if no summons is given, your insurance company will pay out for you, the other driver's company pays for him, and then the companies deal with each other and the company who's client is at fault reimburses the non-fault driver's company and assess the driver for a higher payment based on their record. You only need to worry if the damage involved an injury to persons or damages in excess of your coverage, both of which don't seem possible based on the speed the other driver could reach before an impact.
Edit: As a general rule, in the United States if two cars are traveling in the same direction, and Car A is in front of Car B, The driver of Car A is usually not responsible for any accident with Car B nor if the force of the impact causes Car A to impact another car ahead of it. In your case, since your car had safely crossed into the other lane and the driver was behind you and still proceed in a manner that would have caused an accident, he would likely be at fault. The more over the line the better, but since you were already in the merging process far enough that he could not overtake you at his present speed, he was effectively the Car B. | <urn:uuid:91b03f96-fed6-40ec-809f-88391b7eb746> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/44541/if-someone-hits-your-car-while-deliberately-trying-to-stop-you-from-merging-in-v | 2023-09-28T18:28:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.985659 | 655 |

I am Vibhuti Nakta, born and brought up in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. I completed my schooling from Convent of Jesus & Mary and DAV Public School subsequently. I pursued B.A.LL.B (Hons.) and passed out in year 2011 from Himachal Pradesh University Institute of Legal Studies. Thereafter I started practising on the criminal side before the Hon’ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh. Simultaneously I pursued LL.M. in Business Law from Kurukshetra University and passed out in year 2013. Recently I got married and presently I am based in Chandigarh.
My parents are currently settled in Shimla. My father retired as a government employee in the year 2011 and my mother is a home maker. I have a younger brother also pursuing Law from Himachal Pradesh University.
At the very beginning I took up law coincidentally, little knowing that I shall develop an instant liking for the subject. Throughout school I have been an average student but since the first day of college I began to understand the subject very well and just because of this I topped my University and received gold medal for excelling in the subject. The reason for my liking is the inherent nature of law which is so close to human beings. Law has changed me as a person and has made me more confident.
As a person I am introvert in nature. I like doing artistic things. My hobbies are reading, cooking, travelling, and watching movies. My aim is to grow as a person through constant learning and give my best in whatever I do. | <urn:uuid:b226c8a4-353f-4528-80be-67fe63197d89> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lawyerslaw.org/advocate-vibhuti-nakta/ | 2023-09-28T17:29:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.97895 | 329 |

The Plant Cell Wall: A Complex and Dynamic Structure As Revealed by the Responses of Genes under Stress Conditions
The plant cell wall has a diversity of functions. It provides a structural framework to support plant growth and acts as the first line of defense when the plant encounters pathogens. The cell wall must also retain some flexibility, such that when subjected to developmental, biotic, or abiotic stimuli it can be rapidly remodeled in response. Genes encoding enzymes capable of synthesizing or hydrolyzing components of the plant cell wall show differential expression when subjected to different stresses, suggesting they may facilitate stress tolerance through changes in cell wall composition. In this review we summarize recent genetic and transcriptomic data from the literature supporting a role for specific cell wall-related genes in stress responses, in both dicot and monocot systems. These studies highlight that the molecular signatures of cell wall modification are often complex and dynamic, with multiple genes appearing to respond to a given stimulus. Despite this, comparisons between publically available datasets indicate that in many instances cell wall-related genes respond similarly to different pathogens and abiotic stresses, even across the monocot-dicot boundary. We propose that the emerging picture of cell wall remodeling during stress is one that utilizes a common toolkit of cell wall-related genes, multiple modifications to cell wall structure, and a defined set of stress-responsive transcription factors that regulate them. | <urn:uuid:b7046021-a021-4649-8da3-4410d0bae802> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://learnbioenergy.org/latest-news/2021/12/the-plant-cell-wall-a-complex-and-dynamic-structure-as-revealed-by-the-responses-of-genes-under-stress-conditions | 2023-09-28T17:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.917571 | 286 |
Oh hello there, welcome back fellow Le Cuoreans and I hope you are having a great day, If you are not really having the best day, you made the right move by coming here.
Think I have forgotten you newcomers? Of course not and welcome aboard.
I’m sure you are no stranger to business travel, and not all pavements are flat and smooth for walking around the world. When I have to attend meeting and business trips, I do prefer heels, for that added confidence and height when I do my presentations or meeting customers or both. Before I got my first customized pair of heels, I’ve suffered through many painful business trips and till this day regret I tortured my feet so.
I tried everything to make each trip better by “pimping” my heels. I tried buying a size bigger, putting shoe cushions (every kind at every area), stretching the heels, waxing the edges of the shoe and even the popular superstitious method of biting my shoes (before it bites me).
So zoom forward to two years ago, I got my first pair of customized heels, and brought them on their first business trip. WOW. I am not just trying to sound as though a miracle was performed, but it made a huge difference. It didn’t feel like I was in heels, I got to feel taller and more confident but with the comfort of flats, which leads me to digress (briefly) from the topic to tell you I have 2 customized pairs, while heading to multiple locations in comfort.
A good pair of well fitted heels also eliminates the pain we have to go through to break in the shoes and helps stop us from avoiding them in the first place. Most of us neglect our feet, but they bear most of the brunt from our daily activities, no one said you had to limit yourself to flats for comfort and mobility. You can still sport a sexy looking pair of heels and still rock it. | <urn:uuid:6a451d2b-2958-4091-b73f-32afe39e2319> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lecuore.com/blogs/shoelogy/to-the-heel-of-it | 2023-09-28T19:01:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.965814 | 413 |
Hitching a Ride on the Omnibus
In a holiday gift from Congress, environmental gains arrive in an overstuffed spending bill.
The massive omnibus bill that just passed Congress contains a bevy of environment friendly provisions. Despite some last-minute tweeted complaints from Trump about the bill, those provisions are likely to make their way into law. Given that the Senate and the White House are in Republican hands, it’s a wonder when such provisions sneak through Congress. Otto von Bismarck once compared the legislative process to making sausage. By this account, the omnibus is the equivalent of a five-ton bratwurst.
It seems like the only way things get done on Capitol Hill these days is to pass some humongous legislation with must-pass funding strewn with substantive provisions. The December 2020 omnibus provides spending to keep the environmental agencies open, tax credits, and important climate rules. In these times, of course, you can’t take anything for granted. But it would be more than a little surprising if the omnibus, or something very similar, fails to become law.
Department of Energy (DOE). The bill provides $2.86 billion for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at DOE, a $16 million increase over current levels. Nuclear energy research and development get $1.5 billion in the omnibus, a $14 million boost over the current year. DOE’s Office of Science would see $7 billion, a $26 million increase over the present year. The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) will get $427 million, a $2 million boost. Trump consistently tried to zero-out ARPA-E, attempts that Congress ignored with equal consistency.
State Department. The bill provides $320 million for biodiversity programs, a slight increase, and flat funding for international renewable energy and adaptation programs at $356 million. The bill also includes $6.4 million for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. Congress directed DOE to prioritize research to power the country with 100% “clean, renewable, or zero-emission energy sources.”
EPA. EPA will get a 2% budget increase to $9.2 billion. That includes $12.5 million for EPA’s environmental justice activities (a $2.3 million increase), and increased funding for the Targeted Airshed Grant program, designed to help communities suffering from significant ozone or particulate pollution. There is also a small increase for the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act, which offers grants to replace or retool older diesel-powered vehicles and other equipment with cleaner-burning models.
Misc. The bill instructs the Army Corps of Engineers to consider resilience, sea-level rise, and green infrastructure in designing projects. It also continues NASA’s funding for a pair of climate satellite research programs that Trump has repeatedly proposed to scrap. The omnibus allocates $14 billion in emergency funding to hard-hit mass transit agencies.
The law extends tax incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy. These tax provisions are dull reading but really important to the folks who finance renewables projects.
Here are some details: The production tax credit for renewables is extended another year under the deal, while the investment tax credit gets two more years. Some conservative Senators tried but failed to strip these provisions from the bill. The bill also provides five years of incentives for offshore wind and two additional years for a carbon capture credit. Additionally, the deal makes waste-heat-to-power technology eligible for the investment tax credit.
The bill also extends benefits for energy efficiency through 2021 and makes permanent a commercial building tax deduction for efficiency improvements.
The most important substantive provision involves HFCs, which are super-potent greenhouse gases. The law empowers EPA to cut the production and use of HFCs by 85 percent over the next 15 years. There are temporary restrictions on new state restrictions on HFCs. By some estimates, planned reductions in HFCs here and elsewhere in the world could reduce global warming by a half degree all by themselves.
Another substantive provision requires pipelines to use leak detection technology and develop plans for minimizing methane releases. The pipeline safety agency may also develop rules on the issue. Given that methane is also a potent greenhouse gas, this provision is an important step forward.
In addition, the bill contains some preservation-related provisions. It directs how to spend $900 million for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, made available through enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act earlier this year. The Trump Administration ignored congressional intent on this subject previously. The law also adds 1,150 acres to the eastern and western portions of Saguaro National Park, establishes the River Gorge National Park and Preserve, and limits oil and gas development near Chaco Culture National Historical Park, a major priority for conservationists.
It’s unfortunate that Congress can’t seem to pass laws except through these huge package deals. But a bad legislative process is better than no legislative process. The result of all the wheeling-and-dealing will be some real environmental progress. As my late father-in-law used to say, it’s better than a kick in the teeth. | <urn:uuid:547a62ca-3812-4f04-a857-d3fe6ab7ea97> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://legal-planet.org/2020/12/23/hitching-a-ride-on-the-omnibus/ | 2023-09-28T18:55:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.932236 | 1,097 |

Since LVKS was formed in 1991, it had grown into one of the formidable kite clubs in the USA. We set the nationwide standard in kids kite building, competition, innovative ground and aerial displays and camaraderie among kite fliers. LVKS has since folded into Pocono Kite Symphony.
Over 20,000 pocket sled kites have been built in our year-round kids kitebuilding workshops. Local community groups as well as distant kiting events hosted kitebuilding sessions, where kids of all ages built and flew their own kites.
Some the places LVKS and Pocono Kite Symphoony has built kids kites – Boy and Girl Scouts, schools, Moutaintop Kite Festival, Berwick River Fest, Longwood Gardens, The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, Lehigh Valley Mall and kiting events for Sky Festival Productions at Wildwood, N.J., Asbury Park, N.J., The Rockaways, N.Y., Philadelphia, Pa., Ocean City, Md. and Liberty State Park, N.J. among many others.
The first Saturday of May, LVKS held its annual kite festival at Louise Moore Park in Bethlehem Township, PA. Thousands of participants and spectators took advantage of a spring day to enjoy the outdoors and fly their kites. This all began when an ad appeared in the local paper asking for help to create a kite festival for Northampton County in the Spring of 1991. Andy Gelinas, LVKS founder and President Emeritus, answered the ad, and with help from his family, co-workers and friends fabricated the first annual “Kite Day in the Park” at Louise Moore Park, Bethlehem Township, PA. Through the years this festival had been attended by thousands of folks. This festival endured through the Spring of 2007 under LVKS.
Another of the many facets of kite flying, LVKS had two sport kite competition teams, the Valli Girlz (Karianne and Julie Gelinas, Kris Keeler and Emily Kimble) and the Valli Boyz (Bill Beneker and Tim and Karen Waters) both of which reached the masters level. There were also individual members who have competed (Rich Koons, Steve Millner, Paul Keeler, Ruth Palifrone, Jason Robins and Edna Bertholf).
Kite Building Competitions – These competitions were held at major festivals and were a large part of LVKS. Kite builders compete at festivals with their expertise in building and flying their homemade kites. They are judged on beauty, construction and flight. To name a few Tony Reiser, Walter Wolf Jr., Todd Little, Cliff and Joyce Quinn, James Ribar, Paul Keeler, Molly and Ron Dunn, Glen and Tanna Haynes, Scott Spencer and Andy Gelinas and Joyce Quinn.
Various projects helped LVKS promote kiting through a group effort while improving their building techniques. Things were designed and built as a group effort: Rokakkus, A Quilted Style Flag, Feather Flags, Cabanas and much much more. To See some of LVKS favorite projects and see write ups from members “hit” buttons on left console.
By the End of 2007 LVKS had no one interested in “spearheading” LVKS into 2008. The same few people had been doing all the work and were tired. LVKS was about to fold. Three years earlier in 2004, Andy Gelinas had moved about an hour North to East Stroudsburg, Pa. Although still very active in LVKS, and feeling unhappy with the demise of the club, he made an offer to the LVKS Board to start a new kite club to the North and allow LVKS to merge into the new club. This offer was accepted unanimously. In February 2008 LVKS officially became part of the newly formed “Pocono Kite Symphony”. Our intent is to keep the LVKS name viable through mixed ground displays (both LVKS and PKS), keep up the tradition of kids kite building that LVKS was so adept at, and an attempt to keep kiting alive in Eastern Pennsylvania.
Since the transformation and transition last spring (2008) of LVKS into PKS we have been busy. As a part of AKA National Kite Month, PKS won an award for “Most Workshops” during the month. We now have about 25 five foot PKS feather flags to match the 50 or so LVKS ones we also display. We made two large PKS flags, a 10 foot & a 12 foot, and repaired many of the LVKS flags so they could still be used. Additionally, we built a 45 foot PKS Logo Kite for the Kitemaking Competition at MASKC in April. This kite design, known as a Heksebeest, is also the logo kite for our Sister Club “Dutch Kite Symphony” in the Netherlands.
Besides being busy we’ve also been racking up the miles. We have attended the MASKC, WILDWOOD and SUNFEST Kite Festivals, the AKA Convention in Gettysburg, PA (represented by Joyce Quinn) and produced two Kite Day In The Park festivals in Northampton County, PA (the first in May and the second in August). In keeping with LVKS tradition we have built almost 700 kid’s kites for Big Brothers & Big Sisters, different schools, Longwood Gardens and our own Kite Day In The Park festival.
For the Christmas season we donated kites in the name of “Pocono Kite Symphony” to the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” campaign.
Below is a summary of 2009 events—
1. Longwood Gardens– Kennett Square, PA – April – Andy, Joyce, Sylvia, Jonathan and Tony. Ground display, KidsKiteBuilding, Lodging. Kids kites built 600.

Into March… Kiting events and happenings have begun…
This is the time of year when we repair our display flags and banners, kites and many other items to be used throughout the new season. Most often we have a project or two either planned or underway during National Kite Month (April). Workshops will be underway shortly building 3 Bols for the kids at our Kite Day in the Park (first Saturday of May). We also rebuilt our Mega-Banner shelter and printed PKS club shirts.
We had fun touting the club at an indoor flea market as well as more kids kitebuilding at Sciencefest School and Cub Scouts. We also participated in the Big Pocono Fall Foliage Festival, Sunfest in Ocean City MD, Meet ‘N Greet in East Stroudsburg, PA and Toys for Tots at Christmas time.
In January we had our 1st Annual Kiting Kick-off Dinner at the Stroudsmoore Inn.
Pocono Kite Symphony has been busy this spring and early summer. In April we had our workshops which included a new table banner, repairs to our ground display flags. Our 21st Annual Kite Day In The Park at Louise Moore Park, Easton, PA
was again a success.
June saw us atop Big Pocono Mt. at the Mountain Laurel Festival. “Meet ‘n Greet” has become a good way to get noticed. We have received invitations from these events. They love our big display.
In July we had a request from ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, PA to set up our large flag display and do a “Meet ‘n Greet” and a kids kite building at the opening dedication ceremonies at the Steel Stacks for the Levitt Pavilion on the old Bethlehem Steel Properties. A beautiful park with cultural things and concerts scheduled in the near future.
Then throughout the summer we did kite builds at the Lower Milford Elementary School in Coopersburg, PA., Hamilton Elementary School in Sciota, PA. and at Mountainview Park in Tannersville,PA.
Friends of Big Pocono Mountain invited us once again to their Fall Foliage Festival Meet ‘N Greet.
AKA Convention this year held in Wildwood, NJ attended by Joyce Quinn representing PKS once again.
January of the new year saw the club at the 2nd Annual “Kick Off” Dinner at the Stroudsmoor Inn. We find is a great way to wind down from the Holidays which makes it all that much more enjoyable. No meeting was held in January because of the dinner…WHAT A GREAT MEETING!
February – Wendy found herself being asked if she would consider being the Webmaster for the Club… She hemmed and hawed and raised her eyebrows a few times and was finally cajoled into accepting. She is doing a great job.
Our annual “Kite Day in the Park” festival plans were under way already. The “Old Guard” (Andy, Joyce & Sylvia) were mentoring the “New Guard” (Lori, Dave & Wendy) hoping for a successful festival.
We also had a workshop where Lori and Wendy worked on their 5’ feather flags, Joyce worked on a table banner for Meet ‘n Greets, and Sylvia worked on her fish kite with Andy spearheading the whole workshop.
March – The monthly meeting had us doing more planning for KDIP. We had decided to do a workshop the day after each meeting for a few months. This workshop was concentrated on KDIP with kitchen inventories being taken and Wendy presenting the KDIP flyer while doing more planning for the Website.
April – More KDIP – takes a lot of planning to do a festival! A special last minute check meeting was called for May 3rd, two days before KDIP.
May – “Kite Day in the Park” festival at the beautiful Louise Moore Park was a successful one under the ‘New Guard”.
Did a kids Kitebuild at an elementary school in Stroudsburg, PA. All was going well until an unscheduled, accidental FIRE ALARM went off. Too bad it was in the middle of the build or the kids could have taken their kites out with them. That was different!
June had us back up on top of Big Pocono Mt. doing a “Meet ‘n Greet” with the “Friends of Big Pocono” group and their Mountain Laurel Festival.
July – Another meeting with a workshop following the next day. We did 3 more kids Kitebuilds in a row… Girl Scouts and two summer camps, July 19th, 25th & 27th. We were busy but had a lot of help at each one.
August – Another PKS Business meeting with no workshop (waaay too hot!).
September – Club meeting and workshop, worked on Mega Banner / Shelter project. We also pre-taped Kids Kite Kits. We were instrumental in helping to create the First Hindu Kite Festival north of Allentown in Coplay, Pa. This was a very nice event with good winds and a beautiful setting. Looking forward to next year and helping out again.
We also attended Sunfest at Ocean City, MD again this year…a good time was had by all.
October – Business meeting as usual plus a workshop where we worked on the shelter, did repairs and pre-taped (200) Kids Kite Kits for future use. THEN…Bethlehem Area School District contracted PKS for their After School Program, including Kids Kite Building thru out the year.
November – Solidified working with Bethlehem School District for the building of 500 kids kites.
December – No business meeting due to illness and busy season. Due to uncontrollable problems, we lost the “.org” status of our LVKS branch of PKS. It is now “.com” and the logo link on the PKS website is now in limbo. We are looking forward to our appreciation dinner at Stroudsmoor Inn in January.
In lieu of the January business meeting, the club went to the 3rd Annual Kick-off Appreciation Dinner held at the Stroudsmoor Inn in the Poconos. This is a great way to start the year and makes for a very interesting “meeting”. Great food and friends.
A plea for help on how to put on a kite festival was received from St. Martin’s Church in Mountain Top, PA.
Member Dale Wettstein passed away.
We had web problems. Somehow LVKS lost its domain name. It was fixed and the new web name is www.lehighvalleykitesociety.com. We use this website as Pocono Kite Symphony’s archive site.
Andy and Sylvia made a road trip to visit Mountain Top, saw the fields and met with the township and church rep.
The club held another workshop to pre-tape kids kite kits. This makes it easier for all involved with kids kite building. 1/3 less work onsite.
The “new guard”, Wendy, Dave and Lori, were well under way with planning KDIP… More road signs were made, people contacted for sponsorship, assignments of responsibilities was established.
While loading trucks and vans with club stuff, a special meeting of KDIP was held.
The 23rd Annual Kite Day in the Park was held on May 4th. It is always a lot of work but this year proved well worth it.
Joyce had arranged for the club to do kids kite building for the Bethlehem Area School “After School Program”. We did kite building on May 7, 9, and 14 at various elementary schools. This was a new venture and seemed to be well received. The possibility of doing it again next year remains promising.
PKS members were once again found atop Big Pocono Mt. for the “Friends of Big Pocono” Mountain Laurel Festival. We enjoy doing the “Meet ‘n Greet” there and actually got to fly our own kites this year.
The meeting and workshops were cancelled due to various reasons.
The monthly business meeting and workshop weekend was held on August 8th & 9th. A good majority of the meeting was spent giving new member, Rich Evans, guidelines, hints and tips as well as dos and don’ts for his Mountain Top Kite Festival to be held in September 2013.
September was a busy and fun-filled month. First up was the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America & Anoopam Mission 2nd Annual Kite Festival held September 8th. It was a beautiful day with some good wind. A few of our members took on the challenge of launching some of our larger kites for display.
Our monthly business meeting and workshop were held on September 13th & 14th. During the meeting and workshop preparations were made for attending Sunfest in Ocean City, MD the weekend of September 20th.
Hot on the heels of a fantastic weekend in Ocean City, MD, PKS attended and helped spearhead the new Mountain Top Kite Festival. Even though Mother Nature didn’t come through with our request for wind that day, we had a great time and made lots of new friends. The kids kite building was a huge success.
We held our monthly meeting and workshop on October 11th & 12th.
We were welcomed back to hold additional kid’s kite builds for the Bethlehem Area School District After School Program. Kite builds were held and 4 different Bethlehem elementary schools on October 4, 16, 17 and 21.
We held our monthly business meeting and workshop on November 8th & 9th.
We has a special, impromptu meeting on December 7th. Andy and Sylvia delivered kites donated to the Toys for Tots program.
Although the weather didn’t cooperate with our first attempt at our annual kick-off dinner at Stroudsmoor Country Inn in Stroudsburg, PA it was just a minor set-back. We gathered for a delicious meal and good conversation on Friday, January 17th, less our illustrious leader who was unable to attend. The meeting for January was not held in lieu of this buffet dinner… what a way to have a meeting! It was great!
The monthly meeting was held at the clubhouse (Gelinas residence – Stroudsburg, PA)… Our meetings are held the 2nd Friday of each month with a workshop following the day after (unless otherwise stated). This month’s workshop consisted of working on 5’ feather flags, some members’ new ones, and repairing some of the old ones. Repairs were done on fatigued banners, kites, and flags, an ongoing thing.
Held the monthly meeting and workshop the next day… repairs and new flags… and began prepping for KDIP.
Had the meeting – Wendy and Andy offered to put up money for new t-shirts, was approved and new PKS t-shirts were ordered… at workshop new flags and more prep for KDIP.
First Saturday of May we had our 24th Annual Kite Day in the Park… a big work day for all… held the after KDIP helper party (dinner at park)…
Monthly meeting with an extensive debriefing from KDIP… workshop was spent pretty much sorting, packing away, etc. from KDIP.
Monthly meeting… no workshop because we decided to attend a Blue Mt. event… pretty much a bust for PKS, not much exposure for us… a learning experience.
Monthly meeting and held 2 workshops this month… working on personal 5’ feather flags…
Monthly meeting and were busy this month with the 3rd Annual Hindu Kite Festival, Sunfest, O.C., MD… and Mt. Top 2nd Annual Kite Festival… Big Pocono was scheduled but rained out…

Lehighton Lions kite build – June 7.
Forks Township cubs kite build – June 24.
Meeting and workshop cancelled because it was just too hot and members still had too much going on – extreme conditions.

Monthly meeting at clubhouse. Workshop next day was cancelled because we were to attend the Hindu Kite Festival. The week of Hindu Festival we received notice that it was cancelled but too late to schedule a workshop. Prepped for Mt. Top.

Workshop next day in the Poconos. 2015 yearly update worked on by Andy and Joyce. Wendy worked on website and her write up.
Monthly meeting back in the Poconos. At the workshop the next day the yearly write up fine tuned some more by Andy and Joyce and Wendy did her write up for website. Winter club fly was tabled because of bad weather and illness.
Monthly meeting at the clubhouse in the Poconos. Was voted not to have a workshop the next day because of the busy holiday season. Plans were made for the “Kick Off Dinner” to be held in January. Club fly was again tabled due to busy schedules, illness and weather. We will get there yet! It is still Winter.
We had regular meetings in the months of Feb., March, April, May, June, Aug., Sept., Oct. Nov. and Dec.
Several workshops were held throughout the year. We repaired flags, kite bags, kites, and made designs for new flags.
The first Saturday of May we had our 26th annual Kite Day in the Park at Louise Moore Park in Northampton County. We had a new item on the kitchen menu. Andy Gelinas spear-headed the project of “Chicken and Waffles”. It was a big success. One of his main helpers was Austin Cooper. Austin has celebrated his birthday at our KDIP for a number of years and this was his 18th birthday and he elected to help out at KDIP.
In June we were scheduled to go to the Mountain Laurel Festival at Big Pocono Park but it was rained out.
We were invited to build kids kites at the Steel Stacks 4th of July Celebration and we did so on July 3rd. It was successful.
In Sept. we did the Hindu Festival. It was HOT. But all who attended were awed by our display of flags and banners.
This year the club went to Sunfest. We all rented an apartment together and spent the weekend fighting the wind and rain. Saturday morning Dave Frantz managed to get 5’ feather flags to stay without blowing away. He also managed to fly Frankenfrog who has not been flown since his overhaul. It was so windy that Frankenfrog blew yet another seam. But he was up for a while.
On Oct. 1, we were scheduled to do the Mt.Top Kite Festival in Mt. Top, PA. We had to reschedule to the next Sat., Oct. 10 because of rain. Believe it or not we hit rain again, but the people running it said it was a go anyway. It was a scaled down festival.
In December. Dave and Lori Frantz delivered kites for “Toys for Tots”. We scheduled our appreciation dinner for Jan. 14, 2017 at the Sarah St. Grill in Stroudsburg. | <urn:uuid:0ca70f42-5a93-444d-8597-93112a03f061> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lehighvalleykitesociety.com/our-history | 2023-09-28T16:31:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.971661 | 5,269 |
Forget a Trip to the Nail Salon If You Practice This Art
If you have ever seen the traditional brocades of Japanese tradition, you likely assumed that the products were machine-woven products.
They have a tight weave, after all, and that creates a durable item.
When you walk into the artist studios that produce these brocades, you’ll be in for quite the surprise.
You’ll find three essential tools that are necessary to make tsumekaki hon tsuzure ori/
- A comb
- A shuttle
You read that last one right. The technique cannot be completed correctly without modified nails.
This Technique Is Common in Shiga Prefecture
Textile artists that make tsumekaki hon tsuzure ori by hand have grooved fingernails that help guide the threads down the loom. It’s the only way to ensure that the weave’s tightness is correct.
Tsuzure ori means “tapestry weave,” and the current practice in Shiga Prefecture is almost 700 years old. The specific style has over 1,000 years of experience being sold in Japanese marketplaces.
After the artist runs the thread through the weave, they’ll take the perfectly grooved fingernail along the loom to create a compact finish. This process repeats throughout the day, and it is the only way to create the ornate textiles at this quality while still offering a handmade product.
The artist doesn’t need to groove the entire nail to get the necessary results. Most workers will take about half of the fingernail on their preferred digit, work with it until it wears down, and move to the next nail.
Filing the Tiny Grooves Requires Extreme Precision
For the nail-guiding technique to work appropriately, the grooves must line up precisely to the loom strings.
If the measurements are off by even a millimeter, the results would be catastrophic.
Artists say that the technique produces no pain or discomfort, but it cannot feel extra special to always have threads getting guided and tucked by your nails.
Still, those who practice this ancient art say that there isn’t anything they’d rather do.
Several online videos show off this process for anyone interested in learning more about it.
If you’d like to purchase tsumekaki hon tsuzure ori to have at home, most crafting websites have limited supplies available.
You can also import the durable material from Japan directly. | <urn:uuid:e226574c-a9f2-4166-a5f4-0f958085482f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://leonacreo.com/japanese-weaving-nails/ | 2023-09-28T18:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.929562 | 542 |
From Denim Fabrics…
Denim is the longest-lasting textile in the world and the first appearance of this fabric started in the 18th century.
Since then people love to wear denim in many numerous circumstances as the fabric made of 100% cotton is extremely agreeable to wear even though there are pants, jackets, or any other apparel.
… To Denim Portraits
A Turkish artist named Deniz Sağdıç had come with an interesting idea.
To upcycle denim parts and to transform them into Portraits!
The first pavement on her journey was set in her childhood guided by relatives experienced in tailoring or designing. After that, she continued her passion by completing the University’s Faculty of Fine Arts where she graduated at the top of her class.
Now, if you admire Deniz’s amazing big portraits you can see that they are made of recycled denim fabric. The skill and the creativity of manipulating denim fabric are simply breathtaking.
Also, the details of the eyes in her large-scale portraits are marvelous and they are so realistic that you can swear they are painted if you look at them from far away.
Deniz’s denim artwork was admired in many solo and group exhibitions so let’s take a closer look at her artwork below. | <urn:uuid:c9a7b29f-bca9-49ef-9d35-ec7abcea1bf7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://leonacreo.com/large-denim-portraits-deniz-sagdic/ | 2023-09-28T16:57:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.974833 | 266 |

16 Shevat 5780 / February 11, 2020
It was never supposed to happen again! But here it is – happening everywhere! For years the festering cancer of Jew-hatred has been growing and spreading, but most were too politically correct even to pay attention, let alone discuss it, until the shots rang out in Pittsburg, then again in Poway and then in Jersey City, and then the Hanukkah stabbings in Monsey, not to speak of the now daily and mostly unreported assaults on Jews in Brooklyn, New York and other Jewish centers. And not to speak about the hatred, attacks and literal pogroms against Jews and Israelis – one and the same tribe – now being witnessed across the whole of Europe, the Moslem world as well and elsewhere.
If Jews in America have been profoundly shaken by the latest outrages in the land that was to be the bastion of freedom from religious persecution, this testifies to a massive failure on the part of the established Jewish community institutions –the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and most of the others – whose very mission was to guard against any resurgence of the ancient evil cancer that attacked satanically in the Holocaust. All the Holocaust education, speeches, conferences, memorials, museums and all the rest have done nothing to diminish Jew-hatred or instill even the least contrition in today’s propagators and perpetrators of this scourge, whether among the “white supremacists”, the “Nation of Islam”, the “Moslem Brotherhood”, Iran’s “Revolutionary Guards”, etc. etc.
Living in the Past
The self-appointed guardians of America’s Jewish communities were asleep to what has been developing. This is because they were living in the past and searched only for signs of some resurgence of Nazism as was, while ignoring and papering over contemporary Jew-hatred in all kinds of other guises – in major Christian denominations, among sectors of the black and other ethnic groups, and particularly among the swelling numbers of Moslems who have moved to most parts of the U.S. in recent times. Those “guardians” were not paying attention to the rhetoric of radical Moslem infiltrators into campuses across the country or to that of the left-wing academics who now dominate most colleges and even schools.
Those “guardians” preferred to see the unceasing terror attacks and Jew hatred in the “Middle East” as Israel’s regional problem. Major American Jewish organizations implicitly blamed Israel for Arab aggression and terror, consistently supporting their stance that Israel must trade “land for peace”. This was in spite of the obvious fact that the “Peace Process” which began in Oslo in 1993 has led to nothing but a nightmare of terror and barrages of missiles from Lebanon and Gaza aimed against Tel Aviv, Haifa and other Israeli targets with the ever-present threat of simultaneous Arab uprisings across Israel and in what Jewish “liberals” continue to call “the occupied territories”, i.e. the ancestral heartland of the Land of Israel. The liberal assimilated Jewish conscience could never grasp that the 1993 Clinton-Arafat-Rabin handshakes in Washington merely sealed the end-times pact of the Ox and the Donkey, Edom and Ishmael, against little Jacob.
Likewise, the American Jewish “liberals” have felt unable to raise all the obvious concerns about the massive influx of Moslems into Europe and America etc. because they think to themselves: “Were not our parents and grand-parents immigrants to this land? How can we as successful, assimilated Americans do anything but welcome more immigrants (particularly if they provide cheap labor)?” These “liberals” forget, of course, that their immigrant forebears had fled their countries of origin on account of unremitting and unending Jew-persecution, and when they arrived in America, they received absolutely no welfare or other assistance. They sought refuge in a country whose proud boast was to guarantee religious freedom, while many of the present-day immigrants have no intention of accepting the norms and ideals of Big Satan America but rather seek to impose their own constricting religious law on all America, under which the Jewish liberals are to convert or be wiped out as heretics.
The root of the contemporary Jewish “liberal conscience” lies in its being a modern-dress incarnation of the mind-set of the classic Golus-Jew of the exile, who in a vain quest for security in face of the volatile Goyim all around, felt compelled (except for Mordechai) to bow down and fawn to them. Humiliated by generations of crushing degradation, the wavering Jew questioned his own antiquated, seemingly decrepit tradition while embracing every fad of the nations. In contemporary terms this translates into the Jewish liberal championship of every “humanitarian” cause (except for the endemic Jew- and Israel-hatred across the world). Jews are conspicuous supporters of gays, gender fluidity, sex change, alternative life-style, freely available legal abortion, confiscation of citizens’ arms, abolition of the Second Amendment, Black Lives Matter, BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel’s purported oppression of the “Palestinians”, etc. etc.
The liberal solution to the Jewish conscience
Deep down in the heart and soul of the “liberal” Jew is an unacknowledged, guilty awareness of the heavy obligations of the Torah of his ancestors. But he seeks to cast them from himself forever because they are inconvenient and contradict his secular life-style choices, his appetites and pleasures. In order to justify his freedom to do as he pleases, his conscience compels him to stand up for everyone else’s freedom and license to do what they please. He soothes any residual pangs of conscience by casting himself as the champion of all just causes (except that of his own people) and tolerance for all – even for the grossly intolerant.
Similarly, in Israel, the secular elite, who love nothing more than to jet all over the world, desperately feel the need to be accepted by the nations through showing we are no different. This is particularly damaging in the case of the country’s Supreme Court judges, Attorney General and legal mafia, who go out of their way to contrive favorable rulings for terrorists and other enemies of Jews and Israel, while consistently ruling against heroic Israeli soldiers, Jewish settlers and the Torah observant sectors of society. The simple reason is that the Israeli legal establishment crave to be accepted as “woke” by the post-modern, fantasy-ridden jurists of the international courts of “Justice” and “Human Rights” in Strasbourg, the Hague, etc.
While Tel Aviv boasts itself to be the gay capital of the Middle East and the rainbow parade is now an annual curse on the streets of the Holy City of Jerusalem, the Israeli army prides itself on being the most ethical army in the world. Indeed, it is! But in this case, the army elite do not come near to other “civilized” nations, who kill, wound and destroy their enemies without conscience (as in the bombings of Dresden and Vietnam and countless other atrocities until today). Israeli army “rules of engagement” are so ethical that officers frequently endanger the lives of their own soldiers in action in order to protect Arab civilians harboring ruthless terrorists in their midst. They thus follow in the tracks of King Saul, who was so over-righteous that contrary to G-d’s explicit command, he took pity on the captured king of the Amalekite nation who sought to annihilate Israel. Did the Amalekites thank him? Not only did Saul lose the kingship; he let the Jew-hatred cancer fester forever.
Decades of failure by successive Israeli governments to give adequate protection to its citizens from terror and to destroy the cancer at its roots have led to a situation where today the southern half of the country live in daily fear of rockets, missiles, balloon and tunnel attacks from Gaza while Hezbollah in the north acquire ever more heavy weaponry and the generously-financed leaders of the “Palestinian Authority” tirelessly travel the world fanning the flames of Israel (=Jew) hatred at international conferences, on campuses, in mosques and every other possible venue. And I have not even mentioned the threats uttered daily by the Iranian leadership.
The present shock of the Jews of America (many of whom remained apathetic through years of Arab hatred, wars and terror attacks against Israel) is because the blight of Jew-hatred and violence seen already for decades across “enlightened” Europe suddenly burst out in the “Land of the Free” with the mass shootings in Pittsburg and San Diego and the Monsey stabbings.
“If someone comes to kill you, kill him first!”
That we Jews need to defend ourselves proactively is obvious. This is one of the great pillars of Torah law, which detests murder: If someone is coming to kill you, get in there first and make sure you kill him – if that is the only way you can stop him. Long before today’s “Neighborhood Watch” patrols and Brooklyn’s “Guardian Angels,” over fifty years ago, Rabbi Meir Kahane (may HaShem avenge his blood) understood perfectly the vital urgency of serious Jewish self-defense both in America and elsewhere in the Diaspora and in Israel. But just as in the case of earlier prophets of Israel, like Zechariah son of Yehoiyadah the High Priest, who was murdered in the Temple on Yom Kippur, Isaiah, who was killed by King Menasheh, and Jeremiah, who was persecuted all his life, Rabbi Kahane was marginalized, ostracized and demonized as if he was a fomenter of racism and hatred rather than the fountain of love, human kindness and compassion that he truly was. Until today we see in Israel in the shameless political machinations against the “Otzma Yehudit” party the same determination by the Israeli mafia elite to marginalize any group who dissent from the suicidal policies of Israel’s “enlightened” “democratically elected” despots.
It would be a typical Golus-Jew approach to try to hush the public outcry against the current spike of attacks on Jews, as if too much noise might further antagonize the Goyim. But do marches and protests against hatred do anything to quell that hatred? We most certainly need the support of the surrounding population and the presence of people like the “Guardian Angels” in some areas is truly heart-warming. Jewish neighborhoods need adequate policing. All Jewish institutions, synagogues, schools, community centers etc. need proper security. Yet our apparent need for such “protection” is on a deep level humiliating because it involves a painful Chillul HaShem (desecration of the glory of the Lord) in the fact that His chosen people, who should enjoy protection from Above under an unseen Cloud of Glory, His Presence, are in fact sitting-duck targets wide open to the blows, knives, bullets and missiles of our enemies. (Yet it is an attested fact that many times, intended attacks on Israelis and Jews have been miraculously frustrated in amazing ways.)
I cast no blame whatever on the victims of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel attacks, so many of whom have been left with the most horrific, permanent, life-changing injuries, scars and disabilities, not to speak of those who have lost their lives. G-d alone is the Judge and He alone knows the secrets of why bad things happen to good people.
What Jews of all colors, complexions or creeds, Ten Tribers, Noahides and all lovers of Israel need to examine is the root spiritual causes of this menacing current wave of Jew- and Israel-hatred, and what is the message that G-d is sending us. For we believe and know that He alone governs the entire universe in every single detail, and nothing whatever occurs unless He so decrees.
Halachah: Esau hates Jacob
We are taught that it is a halachah, a basic law of existence, that “Esau hates Jacob”, Esau being the personification of the Evil Inclination, the Angel of Death and the Accuser on High, as embodied in all those in all the generations who hate and fight spiritually and physically against Jacob’s descendants, the Nation of Israel.
When Esau wept because Jacob had received the blessings, Isaac “compensated” him with the blessing in Genesis 27:40: “By your sword shall you live, and you shall serve your brother, but when you grow restive, you shall break his yoke from your neck”. Rashi in his commentary on this verse explains that Esau’s “restive” sense of hurt would be aroused when Israel transgress the Torah, thus justifying Esau’s rage over Jacob’s having taken the blessings, and Esau would then break Jacob’s yoke from his neck.
This is the psychological mechanism deep within certain kinds of Goy that is set in motion when Jews stray in some degree or other from true Torah observance, namely unconditional service of G-d on every level of thought, speech and action. This is how G-d’s rod of chastisement “works” through the various different kinds of Jew- and Israel-haters, who are usually consumed with extreme anger and unacknowledged jealousy.
There is often no visible connection between some “antisemitic” outburst and a particular deviation, small or large, from the Torah on the part of one or more Jews. This is because G-d is “patient and slow to anger” and does not punish the sinner immediately but waits, in order to give him a chance to repent by himself as long as his “measure” is not complete. Yet even a seemingly minor deviation can have serious indirect consequences, as exemplified in a famous Hassidic story about a follower of Rabbi Dov Ber, the Maggid of Mezritch, leader of the Hassidic movement after Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. The hassid came to the Maggid and told him the shocking news of the murder of a Jew in a far-off town. The Maggid said this occurred because of an explosive outburst of anger by that very hassid some days earlier, despite the fact that this took place a long way away and there was no visible connection between the two events in the physical world.
Whenever Israel strays from the Torah, the loving Father longs for His children to return and as a prompt and a wake-up call, He menacingly wields the rod of chastisement, whether in the guise of white supremacists, black supremacists, Islamic terrorists or any other of our many enemies, visible or invisible: “My children! You must repent!”
If any “observant” Jews were previously inclined to blame the surge of “Antisemitism” on the less-observant, the non-observant, the assimilated, the “Mixed Multitude” or any other sector, they have been decisively repudiated by the attacks on orthodox synagogues and the Monsey stabbings. It is just that synagogues and long-bearded, non-violent Jews dressed in long black coats and black hats are the easiest targets and conspicuous representatives of the Jewish people. In the hate-intoxicated mind of the resentful, angry, uncouth Goy they are from one and the same tribe as all the other notorious Jewish crooks, criminals, perverts and other deviants – Bernie Madoff, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, twisted clowns like Jerry Nadler, Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff, a sinister ogre like George Soros, the “Jewish bankers, Freemasons, Sabbatians, Satanists, Elders of Zion etc. etc. With so much media attention focused on high profile scandals involving Jews, not to speak of the endless, insidious anti-Israel “fake news” spewed forth day after day by news media across the world, is it any wonder that discontented goyim all over find no better scapegoat for all their woes than the Jews and Israel?
Could it be that deep in the collective unconscious of the nations – who themselves have oppressed Israel for thousands of years – is an incessant, gnawing pain that this very oppression has caused Israel to fall from their level as G-d’s chosen nation of priests? Could it be that like a raging child who furiously rains blows on the very one that seeks to benefit him, the angry goy attacks whoever he associates with his demonized image of the Jew or Israeli because they fall short of the true level of the priests that he and all the world desperately need to lead the way to knowledge and service of the One God and to draw salvation and blessing to all?
Torah for the Nations
In earlier periods there were very sound reasons why the Jews in exile were unable to proselytize and convert non-Jews to Judaism or even preach to the world about the Torah Noahide code for the nations. In both Christian and Moslem countries any hint of a Jew trying to influence a non-Jew could cost that Jew his life, often together with the lives and property of his family, fellow Jews and even of the non-Jews involved. It was impossible for the Jews to express publicly the true Torah stance on the surrounding expressions of paganism dressed in pious Catholic, Moslem or other guises in the countries where they lived in constant peril of their lives. Thus Judaism turned into a matter of private individual conscience that had to be secretively hidden away from the wider population. (Contrast this with the many cases in the Talmud and Midrash where we find the leading sages in Roman times in active dialogue with gentiles, some sincere, others merely provocative, on a multitude of Torah matters.)
Today we are at the end of the exile, and although quite obviously thick darkness still holds sway all over, there are also amazing manifestations of the dawning light of Redemption in the form of the unprecedented arousal to Torah among individuals, groups and whole tribes of many different complexions and backgrounds in literally all parts of the world.
Moreover, today we have Israel, where although there is still a long way to go for the light of Torah to shine to all the population and where there are still many de facto constraints on the Torah-observant community, including virtual censorship in large areas of the public arena, it is nevertheless possible to observe and teach Torah with relative freedom. And through the alternative media of our day – through Internet websites and social media – it is possible to reach souls in almost any part of the world in ways that were simply unavailable in any previous generation.
What does the Torah-observant community have to offer the surrounding peoples? Among the ultra-orthodox the same secretive Golus approach to Torah knowledge and practice persists to the extent that even Jews who are considered not quite frum enough, are excluded from their circles either literally or through invisible but palpable walls of coldness and rejection. The news media of the Torah community are full of disputes, feuds and arguments between different groups and viewpoints, religious or political. If we stand for the ending of discrimination on grounds of race, what do we have to say about the discrimination in “observant” Jewish communities between Ashkenazi and Sefardi or Ethiopian Jews?
If Torah is all about peace and Israel seeks only peace, why is it that her own would-be political leaders are unable to make peace among themselves and to cooperate for the welfare of the nation instead of squabbling incessantly and entirely paralyzing the country’s government? As for talking to the Goyim, in the last few years some forward-thinking rabbis began encouraging lovers of Torah and Israel among the nations to stop being shy and to know that they too may voluntarily observe many of the commandments. These rabbis brought decisive proofs from the classical rabbinical authorities. And what happened? Their fellow rabbis publicly shot them down and threatened them with excommunication.
Why is it that young people from the post-Christian, post-modern, decadent, pagan cultures of the west – many of whom like, Greta Thunberg, are in deepest despair about the state of the world – have been streaming to Islam in search of meaning, while Torah faith and wisdom, which are the only truth that will endure at the end of days, are ignored, marginalized, demonized and considered totally irrelevant?
What about the spiritual holocaust?
If we fear a new holocaust and wonder if the ancient Islamic dream of Jews helplessly seeking refuge behind trees from their Jihadi murderers might be a plausible scenario, why is their hardly any outcry or even awareness of the spiritual holocaust that has caused the loss of over seventy percent of born-Jews in America to intermarriage with non-Jews, resulting in a whole new generation of countless “captive children” whose Jewish heritage and identity has been almost totally erased?
I was present in a very prestigious, wealthy, nominally orthodox synagogue in Britain when the then Chief Rabbi, the late Rabbi Lord Immanuel Jacobovitz, publicly stated in a sermon that someone entering an average British synagogue during a prayer service might have difficulty discerning if today was the festival of Purim or the Tisha B’Av fast commemorating the destruction of the Temple. Most if not all of the time in such places of “worship,” minimal attention is given to the chore of the actual high-speed davening, while all the emphasis is on who received the honors, what are the prospects for today’s match and what are the best investment and property options.
A glance at the weekly magazines and supplements that circulate among the “ultra-orthodox” communities both in Israel and outside indicates that at the very least the advertisers certainly believe their target audiences are mainly interested in extravagant fashions for men, women and children of all ages, attractive wigs, cosmetics and beauty treatments for women, flashy cars, glamorous properties and furnishings, lavish catering for celebrations and luxury vacations and getaways. What are the luckless goyim at the bottom of the ladder expected to make of that?
The authentic Torah way is one of modesty in all aspects of lifestyle, clothing and material consumption. The true Jew and Jewess are “worker-priests and priestesses”, out there in the thick of the material world, serving G-d Almighty through the practice of Torah in the home, on the road, at work, in business and everything else from birth to death, bending the physical to serve the spiritual, servants of the All High.
Search within and reach out
The only way for us to “reach out” to the Nations of the World is first to reach deep down into our hearts, to confront our own barriers and resistances to the embrace of our exalted role as ambassadors of the G-d of Israel with all our hearts, our souls and all our might. It is impossible for us to call for greater spiritual awareness among the Goyim if we ourselves rush through our devotions in flight from naked, honest, face-to-face connection with our Maker, if we have no time for praise and song to the One who sustains us every day, every hour and every second of our existence in such beautiful and gracious ways.
Throughout the sad history of Israel’s fall from the Torah as documented stage by stage in TaNaKh, particularly in the book of Kings, we find that even in periods when there was a revival of Torah faith and observance, the people never felt able to pull down their “High Places”, the Bamot, private altars where they persisted in offering their own sacrifices even though sacrifices anywhere other than the Temple in Jerusalem was strictly forbidden. At root the flaw of one who wants to sacrifice to the All High on his own private altar rather than in His Temple is that the person puts his own prestige and honor before G-d’s explicit commandment in the Torah (Leviticus 17:3-9) and before the honor of His Holy Temple. The Bamah is an expression of the person’s haughtiness, as if he himself is worthy to be the priest when the true purpose of the sacrifice is to teach him to humble himself and efface his ego before G-d. There is great merit in building a synagogue or study hall or establishing some other Torah organization or movement for the benefit of the immediate or wider community, but when the motives of those involved are mixed with a thirst for recognition and prestige, the “sacrifice” involved borders on sacrifice at a “high place”, the person’s pride.
All who mourn for Zion and the Holy Temple and long for the restoration of Israel and the Redemption need now to pull together and set aside our squabbles and jockeying for prominence. The war against Jew hatred is our war against those who hate HaShem – and we fight it by joining together in harmony and reaching out to all those who love Him. But if we seek to draw the world to G-d, we ourselves need first and foremost to turn to Him directly in prayer, repentance and acts of charity and kindness. Only when we make the effort to discover for ourselves something of G-d’s ways can we hope to help teach others about Him.
This is something each one of us can do, and in the merit of our each and every gesture of Teshuvah, love of G-d and love of our fellows, He will surely turn to us in love and quickly bring about our Redemption. | <urn:uuid:a8f7e9df-9cc1-4b7a-b0ba-2c3de7334c21> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://letterfromjerusalem.com/how-can-we-beat-antisemitism/ | 2023-09-28T17:46:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.95459 | 5,445 |

Joe Biden is the oldest president in history, and his age has raised questions about how he can best serve as commander-in-chief.
Reports have surfaced that White House staffers treat him like a baby due to diminished mental faculties. As such, many conservatives have expressed concern over whether Biden is truly fit to hold office.
Biden’s mental state first came into question during his 2020 campaign when Tucker Carlson reported he was allegedly given pills supervised by Dr. Jill before every public appearance and changed drastically after taking them.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre why White House staffers treat Joe Biden like a baby, to which she replied “No one treats the President of the United States – the Commander-in-Chief – like a baby.”

While this statement may be true at face value, it does not address the underlying issue of whether or not Biden can competently perform his duties as president without assistance from staff members acting more like custodians than aides.
The cognitive decline associated with aging has been widely studied, particularly among those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.
According to one study published by Harvard Medical School in 2019, executive function (the ability to plan ahead, problem solve, and make decisions) tends to decline more dramatically than memory with age while social functioning remains relatively unaffected for some time.
It is possible that Joe Biden suffers from cognitive decline due to age and needs help from staff members in order to carry out his duties effectively as president, however, there is no way of knowing for sure without seeing medical records or conducting an assessment of his cognitive abilities.
In addition to physical changes related to aging that could affect Joe Biden’s cognitive functioning, it is also important to consider psychological factors that could play a role in how staff members interact with him on a daily basis.
Last year Tucker Carlson reported that Joe Biden was fed pills to function during his 2020 campaign, supervised by Dr. Jill. According to Tucker, Biden was ‘like a small child’ before the dosing.
“How did he manage to get through the campaign? Well, it turned out, we learned later his staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife, was giving him pills before every public appearance–checking the time and at a certain hour giving him a dose of something. Now it’s not a guess, we’re not making that up. We’ve spoken directly to someone who was there and saw it happen multiple times,” Tucker said last summer.
Tucker continued, “Now, before taking the medications this person said, Biden was quote ‘Like a small child. You could not communicate with him, he changed completely because he was on drugs and he clearly still is on drugs.’ Someone’s pushing, we don’t know what those drugs are. We should know.”
White House staffers treat Joe Biden like a baby because his mental faculties are no more.

Jennifer Briney is host and producer of one of the most important political podcasts.In this fascinating show, you’ll discover the way the game is really played on the Hill – and find out about some of the latest legislative badness that is already being sent down the pipe toward us.
Congress is deeply corrupt. Most congressmen are beholden too corporate donors, rather than the Constitution (to which they swear their oath) or The People, from whom they derive their loan of power. Unsurprisingly, then, they spend a lot of time making laws that are so far from the interest of the People and so at odds with our Constitution, that they make sure We The People know nothing about them.
The American media have us talking about symbolic issues that actually Congress spend very little time on (abortion, guns, etc.) while most of their work involves protecting the profits of large corporations and finding ways to subvert the Bill of Rights. We don’t know about the specifics because the media aren’t doing their job, and We the People have no clue of our power, if only we would demand important information about the laws that are being made and the way they are being made.
About Jennifer Briney
Jennifer Briney reads the bills – so the rest of us don’t have to. Her brilliant show crystallizes the essence, intended impact, and likely effects of laws that you likely know nothing about, unless, that it, you listen to her podcastings. She estimates that only about 20% of representatives have their loyalties in the right place, even though, interestingly, most of them, she believes, are sincere even as they are participating in systemic corruption. Perhaps most astonishingly, party leadership (D and R) routinely deceives its own party members to get them for vote to things they don’t even know they are voting for. Yes: it’s THAT crazy. | <urn:uuid:c4a3ebea-ef40-4ead-bc1d-83a115e944be> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://libertytalk.fm/the-congressional-dish/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.969142 | 433 |

An Upper West Aspect middle university is struggling with a tempest from mothers and fathers immediately after staging a participate in which warned unvaccinated children would not have friends.
The December holiday break clearly show at MS 243 Middle Faculty on 84th Road and Columbus Avenue showcased about 10 fifth- to eighth-graders swaying back again and forth while belting out lyrics to the tune of ’80s strike “The Basic safety Dance,” which includes: “It’s secure to vax/and if your close friends really do not vax/then they ain’t no good friends of mine.”
The performance was much more PSA than participate in, hammering house the worth of vaccines by way of dance quantities, tunes, and skits that ridiculed any one not falling in line.
For the duration of just one sketch, kids held indications with the names of major pharma jab-makers “Pfizer” and “Moderna” painted in crimson and drawn into the define of a syringe.
A different scene had students mocking conservatives and all those searching for health care or spiritual exemptions to the jab. Some held indicators reading through “I panic God not COVID” and “I am not a science experiment.”
They had been pitted along with people intended to search ridiculous, such as one youngster dressed as a box of Kool cigarettes and yet another as Napoleon Bonaparte. Yet another student paraded around the phase as Jacob Chansley — the notorious horn-hat and fur-putting on Jan. 6 Capitol rioter who was not long ago sentenced to 41 months in prison.
Mother and father outraged by the theatrics stated later on the show should not have long gone on.
“It was an abomination,” explained mother Antigone Michaelides, who viewed the play with her partner. “It is discrimination and bullying and there is no explanation you should really make young children truly feel terrible about by themselves. Have not they been as a result of sufficient in two decades?”
Michaelides stated a number of unvaccinated little ones ended up essential to participate in the creation which denigrated their parents’ determination to maintain them unvaxxed. She explained the demonstrate has been developed by lecturers at the school and was aspect of a larger sized local weather of intolerance, and that unvaccinated little ones — like her son — were commonly singled out.
“I do know for a actuality that he’s been uncovered to hurtful things becoming explained all-around him. This I can tell you for a fact,” Michaelides stated. “Hurtful points were reported to him about the vaccine by other children.”
She shared her misgivings with in a furious letter to school superintendent Christine Loughlin.
“How is it appropriate for a teacher, or teachers, to endorse an agenda which encourages some little ones to switch in opposition to other kids at the very same university,” she questioned.
Loughlin did not respond to request for comment from The Publish.
“My partner and I are both lifelong Democrats. We do not method this from a political ideological stage of see,” Michaelides insisted. “But I cannot embrace bullying or discrimination and no moms and dads really should. So we are in a extremely hard posture right here. We really feel all on your own.”
A rep for Division of Instruction mentioned the agency is probing the matter.
“Every university student justifies to sense welcomed in their school and this incident was instantly referred for investigation,” reported spokesman Nathaniel Styer.
New York Town does not demand public university learners to be vaccinated in opposition to the coronavirus until they are taking part in “high-possibility extracurricular sports activities and actions,” in accordance to the city Office of Training.
Only 195 of M.S. 243 about 247 learners are presently vaccinated, principal Elaine Schwartz told mothers and fathers in a December email. | <urn:uuid:eea035e7-241a-478c-881b-fa7dfbcf5b17> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://liesandseductions.com/nyc-department-of-instruction-investigating-middle-college-covid-play/ | 2023-09-28T18:14:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96683 | 859 |

How can you reduce psychological / emotional stress?
An important finding in the context of stress reduction is that it is not the external stress that is decisive for the stress level of the body, but the internal, perceived stress. So it is initially a question of one's own stress perception, whether a situation is seen as stressful or not.
This also applies to mental and emotional stress. When it comes to emotional stressors, it is often very difficult to follow the simple rule of simply eliminating the source of stress. A breakup or the loss of a person can cause psychological / emotional stress on people for a very long time. In such situations it is important to change the internal way of dealing with stress or to find ways to reduce this stress, be it through a change in lifestyle, sport, relaxation exercises and many other common methods.
For many people it is enough if they have people to whom they can entrust their psychological burdens and who can thus deal with them better.
Others, however, are convinced that meditation helps them a lot in coping with stress, which has been proven by recent studies.
The therapy of stress depend on the results of the examination. Infusion series are usually given physically to supplement the missing substances. To reduce stress, antioxidants, electrolytes, high-dose vitamins, base-rich agents, procaine-base infusion for deacidification, ozone-oxygen infusion for vitalization, to improve blood circulation, chelantin infusion to remove waste products, fresh cell therapy, acupuncture, homeopathy, neural therapy and herbal medicines are mainly used here . In addition, patients are often treated with special mental stress management programs and physical exercise.
What role do the stress hormones play?
It is assumed that the formation of stress hormones in our body are largely responsible for the development of a stress reaction.
These hormones act on many different functions in our body such as the immune system, our energy balance or our heart rate and modulate these functions so that they are optimally designed for a stressful situation. The most well-known stress hormone in our body is cortisol, which is produced in our adrenal cortex in greater quantities than is normally the case during stress. The real purpose of these stress hormones is to make the body maximally efficient for a short period of time, in return, functions such as digestion, which are not absolutely necessary in this situation, are inhibited.
This stress reaction only becomes a problem for our body when it not only lasts for a few hours but becomes permanent and the body cannot recover. This has the consequence that the body becomes weaker and weaker, the immune system is strongly inhibited and this also affects the psyche. Stress hormones play a central role in the stress response.
Can you break down stress hormones?
Just as the body produces stress hormones in a stressful situation, these are broken down again at the end of this phase. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the perceived stress level drops, otherwise the body thinks that it still has to be prepared for a fight or flight. So you just have to, which sounds easier to many than it actually is, simply relieve the existing stress and the body will follow by reducing the stress hormones. For this purpose, for example, in addition to exercising, certain relaxation techniques can be carried out.
Each person has to find the right methods for himself / herself how he / she can best reduce stress so that the body follows and breaks down stress hormones.
Which relaxation techniques can help?
Nowadays there are a variety of different relaxation techniques that work differently for everyone. Each person has to find out for himself / herself by trial and error which of the techniques works best for him / her.
One of the most famous relaxation techniques is the so-called progressive muscle relaxation. During this, individual muscle groups are tense and then slowly relaxed again, usually accompanied by relaxing music. The focus here is on the sensations that one feels during the relaxation phase. This process is carried out slowly with all muscle groups in the body and, in addition to relieving muscle tension, leads to better body awareness and a reduction in stress levels.
Another well-known relaxation technique is yoga. Here, however, one has to distinguish between the many different forms of yoga, each with a different focus. For example, some forms focus primarily on physical exertion, as is the case, for example, with what is known as hatha yoga. However, there are also forms of yoga that involve less physical activity and are more relaxing. Other well-known relaxation techniques that are used in the context of stress reduction are meditation, Qigong, Tai-Chi and autogenic training.
For more detailed information on this topic, see: Relaxation techniques
Can you also reduce stress with medication - and with which?
There are now many drugs on the market that promise to reduce stress. However, these should be consumed with great caution, as almost all of these drugs are primarily aimed at eliminating the symptoms of chronic stress, such as improving depressive moods, but not addressing the underlying cause. So the statement that these drugs can reduce stress is only partially to be agreed.
The most well-known active ingredient in the therapy of stress is the so-called St. John's wort. This works against depressive moods, stress burnout and anxiety disorders. It can be purchased in various forms such as oil, hard capsules, or teas without a prescription. When consuming St. John's wort, however, it must be noted that this has a modulating effect on certain enzymes in our body and can limit the effect of other drugs, such as the pill.
Another widely used active ingredient is valerian, which is mainly used for sleep disorders and great nervousness and is usually taken as drops.
Other active ingredients in this area of application are ginkgo leaf extract and passion flower herb.
With regard to prescription drugs, the drug Oxazepam is mainly used, which belongs to the group of benzodiazepines and relieves anxiety and stress. However, this drug should only be used in stressful conditions, such as burnout, as it carries a high risk of addiction.
What are the side effects of the drugs?
Most of the drugs used for stress have the side effects of causing tiredness, drowsiness, and drowsiness.
In addition to the interaction with other medication described above, the intake of St. John's wort results in an increased sensitivity to light in rare cases and can also lead to gastrointestinal complaints. Stomach discomfort and headaches can also occur when consuming valerian.
Prescription drugs for stress relief, such as oxazepam, can, in addition to the side effects described, also lead to a decrease in libido, muscle weakness or depressive moods. In addition, there is a risk of dependence on this drug even at low doses.
How can you reduce stress with exercise?
The effectiveness of sport in reducing stress and becoming more resistant to it in the long term has now been scientifically proven. This effect is mainly attributed to the release of endorphins, which promote the breakdown of stress hormones, and the changed energy balance. In addition, the positive effects of exercise, such as the impact on the cardiovascular system, counteract the symptoms of chronic stress.
Which sport is best suited for this varies from person to person. The main thing is to be physically active and to be distracted by the sport in order not to have to think about the stressful work all the time. Most people have found jogging to be a great way to relieve stress and get some fresh air. But other sports such as soccer, yoga or Thai-Chi can also help reduce stress.
What foods can help me reduce stress?
Unfortunately, there is no food that actively helps us to reduce stress. But a healthy and balanced diet is important so that the body can cope better with the consequences of stress. A balanced diet of this kind includes the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. In addition, excessive consumption of sweets, ready meals or meat should be avoided.
Most doctors do not recommend the consumption of special dietary supplements that help relieve stress.
How can I reduce exam stress?
You can probably never completely avoid the stress before an exam, but you can try to reduce it to a minimum by various methods. First of all, of course, there is good preparation for the exam, that is, you should start learning as early as possible so that you don't have to learn all of the material within a few days. In addition, it always helps to exchange ideas with other people about the material you have learned and to ask each other, as you can visualize how much you have already learned.
Furthermore, shortly before the exam, it helps not to drive yourself crazy and go through all the flashcards again, but to take a few minutes and take a deep breath and try to think of something else. This also applies to situations during an exam, when you are stuck and get stressed. Allowing yourself a little break in these situations, briefly closing your eyes and taking three deep breaths can have great effects.
How can you reduce stress in children?
A new study has shown that around every fifth child suffers from excessive stress. Usually, however, this is not even noticed by the parents, as they themselves have enough stress in their everyday life and do not notice the strain on the children. The first important step in reducing stress in children is the perception that the child is suffering from excessive stress because the children do not always communicate this themselves.
Furthermore, you should first look at the child's everyday life. So it is important that children have enough time during the week that they can design themselves and that they have free time to meet up with friends. In addition, many children are under very high pressure to perform on the part of their parents, which puts the child under additional pressure. When children come to secondary schools, there is usually an additional social stress factor. The fear of schoolmates or bullying can cause great stress in children about which parents should talk to them. It is also important for children that there are certain rituals in the family as part of everyday life that give the child orientation. These include the daily dinner together, reading aloud when falling asleep, or other activities that the child can do with the parents.
Correct diagnosis is necessary to reduce stress.
To diagnose stress include the specific anamnesis and the Body impedance analysis, in which the resistance to a minimal electrical measuring current is measured in order to be able to draw conclusions about vitality and the ratio of fat, muscles and water in the body. Furthermore, a detailed blood count, the determination of free radicals and antioxidants, the acid-base buffer capacity, the inflammation parameters, the stress and sex hormones in the blood and saliva, the analysis of the stool flora, the heart rate measurement and the EKG.
What is oxidative stress?
The term oxidative stress describes a metabolic situation in the cells of our body in which harmful substances, the so-called radicals, are present in increased concentrations and thus damage the cell. The formation of these radicals is a consequence of the metabolic processes in our cells and is intended by nature. However, these radicals are normally neutralized by so-called antioxidants and their harmful effects are neutralized. The term oxidative stress describes a situation in which the balance between the radicals and the antioxidants is in favor of the radicals and thus the harmful effects outweigh the effects.
It is now assumed that this oxidative stress is significantly involved in the development of arteriosclerosis, cancer and rheumatic diseases. In order to avoid oxidative stress in our body, it is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet, which is accompanied by the consumption of a lot of vegetables and fruits. Studies have shown that the special intake of antioxidants is not effective. | <urn:uuid:3a89c562-00c7-4e36-9152-2ecc8e34f934> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lifeafterjob.com/class-stress-abbauen-XA7 | 2023-09-28T18:15:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.963121 | 2,444 |

An increasing number of runners are trying the ketogenic diet—a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that causes the body to produce ketones to substitute for the carbs it’s no longer getting from food. Originally intended to treat epilepsy, the ketogenic diet went on to become a popular way to lose weight and is now being used by runners and other athletes to increase endurance.
The typical ketogenic runner aims to get about 70 percent of his or her daily calories from fat and limits carbohydrate consumption to 10-15 percent of total calories. If that sounds extreme—well, it is.
But proponents of the ketogenic diet for runners insist that it greatly increases the ability of the muscles to burn fat during exercise and thereby boosts endurance.
Science tells a different story, however. Studies have shown that, although the ketogenic diet does improve fat-burning capacity, this adaptation does not translate to better performance.
In fact, performance tends to decrease on a ketogenic diet, especially at higher intensities of exercise.
This was shown most recently in a Polish study involving competitive mountain bikers. Eight athletes were placed on each of two diets for four weeks in random order. One diet was ketogenic (70 percent fat, 15 percent carbohydrate) and the other was balanced (50 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent fat).
The ketogenic diet resulted in a significant increase in the athletes’ capacity to burn fat during moderate-intensity exercise. But performance tests revealed that this adaptation came at a steep cost.
On the balanced diet, the subjects generated 257 watts at lactate threshold intensity and 362 watts during a 15-minute maximal effort.
On the low-carb diet, these numbers dropped to 246 watts and 350 watts. According to the study’s authors, the cause of the decline on the ketogenic diet was impairment of the muscles’ ability to burn carbs, which is critical to performance at higher intensities.
Reduced performance is not the only downside of a ketogenic diet for runners. Another common consequence is unfavorable changes in blood lipids.
Not everyone sees their cholesterol level spike on a 70 percent fat diet, but many people do, so you’re rolling the dice by even trying it.
Another potential pitfall is vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This happens because eliminating carbohydrate-rich foods from the diet also does away with the micronutrients—among them thiamin, folate, and potassium—that are abundant in high-carb foods.
Other negative effects of a ketogenic diet for runners are psychological and social. In order to consistently get 70 percent of your daily calories from fat, you have to eat large amounts of a very short list of foods (eggs, dairy, fatty meats, oils) and go out of your way to avoid perfectly healthy foods such as fruit and whole grains that are staples in most cuisines.
This makes it very hard to relax and enjoy a nice family meal or a dinner out with friends. And for some people the problem goes even further. Men and women who are attracted to extreme diets like the ketogenic diet tend to be susceptible to disordered eating, a predisposition that is then brought out by the diet.
Is it any wonder that, in my worldwide research on the diets of the healthiest and fittest humans—professional endurance athletes—I have not found a single one that follows a ketogenic diet? | <urn:uuid:3e4f4926-4968-4cef-9aa9-3ef26f117b32> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lifestyle.raceplace.com/health/is-a-ketogenic-diet-good-for-runners/ | 2023-09-28T17:44:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.951493 | 695 |

This blog is a personal take on Listowel, Co. Kerry. I am writing for anyone anywhere with a Listowel connection but especially for sons and daughters of Listowel who find themselves far from home. Contact me at email@example.com
Ballybunion’s MOYA festival on the May bank holiday weekend was a resounding success. I was at the craft and food fair on Sunday…the best ever.
This Ballylongford crafter and her daughter had a wide range of unusual crafts for sale.
Delia was there with her beautiful unique ceramics.
These were just two of the myriad of stall holders
Drumdance Ireland were entertaining the younger ones. Bouncy Castles, treats, animals, food, a great festival going from strength to strength.
Remember the call card?
Once upon a time these were the nearest we had to mobile phones. I always carried one of these in case of any necessity to make a call from a phonebook.
There were thousands of these issued and they featured all sorts of things, like famous people, festivals, advertising products etc. I used to collect them. Mine have absolutely no value as only ones in mint condition are valuable and even only very few of those. If you have a few still in their cellophane wrapper, you’ll have to hold on for a few hundred years before your descendants cash in
Here are a few to jog your memory;
I mentioned a hot water jar I spotted in Tankers’ window, and lo and behold, Eddie Moylan, an antiquarian, literally on my doorstep, has a collection of them.
Poetry Ireland published some poems on convenient little cards for World Poetry Day. They are all lovely, touching and accessible.
Beautiful Mary O’Halloran and her daughter Louise at the recent Punchestown meet.
Mary is living with Motor Neurone Disease, In true best dressed style, Mary gets up, dresses up and shows up. All her Listowel friends are hugely proud of her.
Botanically a strawberry is not a berry but a banana is.
The main stronghold of Anti-Treaty forces (the Irish Republicans) became the self-styled Munster Republic, consisting of the counties south of a line between Limerick and Waterford. Liam Lynch, the republican commander-in-chief, hoped to use the “Republic” as a means of re-negotiating the Treaty, and ideally reconstituting the Irish Republic of 1919–21. For this defensive attitude, Lynch was bitterly criticised by some other republicans, who felt that he should be acting offensively to bring the war to a quick end.
Kerry Officers elected by the Gort na Glanna Martyrs’ Cumann, Co. Kerry are as follows: Chairman, John Buckley; Secretary, Bill Horan; Treasurer, Hugh Goulding, P.R.O., Paddy Kennelly; Tom Manaher and Hugh Goulding were appointed delegates to the Comhairle cheantair. Dozens of homes in the Ballybunion area have been raided by members of the Special Branch and uniformed gardai in yet another act of collaboration with the British occupation forces. For over two weeks the raiding parties concentrated on the area, homes were ransacked, bedrooms were torn apart and women and children were terrified. In some cases homes were continuously watched for up to two days. Following the raids one man was jailed.
Poetry is sometimes described as “What oft was said but ne’er so well expressed”
I recently bought a book of poetry by a talented local writer
On Sunday December 18 2022, they unveiled a sculpture in memory of Con Dee and events one hundred years ago.
An email from Chicago
I am an occasional reader of your blog, and am living in Chicago. My Bedford great-grandmother, Mary Josephine Bambury, and her Ballyeagh husband, James Dore, settled here about 130 years ago.
While my Bambury cousins are scattered all over the globe, many are still living in Kerry and Cork, and I try to keep up with them when I can. One of them, the late Bart Bambury, of Cork City and Kenmare, was a bit of a Renaissance man, and although I did not connect with him until a few years ago, I enjoyed our correspondence immensely. Recently, his friends and family published a book of his poems, and there was a launch party in Cork City.
I thought that with Bart being a “local boy” to Listowel (in a manner of speaking), you might be interested.
A ceremony of remembrance was held at the remembrance tree on Sunday December 18 2022.
A Poem for Christmas
by John Betjeman
The bells of waiting Advent ring, The Tortoise stove is lit again And lamp-oil light across the night Has caught the streaks of winter rain In many a stained-glass window sheen From Crimson Lake to Hookers Green.
The holly in the windy hedge And round the Manor House the yew Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge, The altar, font and arch and pew, So that the villagers can say “The church looks nice” on Christmas Day.
Provincial Public Houses blaze And Corporation tramcars clang, On lighted tenements I gaze Where paper decorations hang, And bunting in the red Town Hall Says “Merry Christmas to you all.”
And London shops on Christmas Eve Are strung with silver bells and flowers As hurrying clerks the City leave To pigeon-haunted classic towers, And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky.
And girls in slacks remember Dad, And oafish louts remember Mum, And sleepless children’s hearts are glad. And Christmas-morning bells say “Come!'” Even to shining ones who dwell Safe in the Dorchester Hotel.
And is it true? And is it true, This most tremendous tale of all, Seen in a stained-glass window’s hue, A Baby in an ox’s stall? The Maker of the stars and sea Become a Child on earth for me ?
And is it true? For if it is, No loving fingers tying strings Around those tissued fripperies, The sweet and silly Christmas things, Bath salts and inexpensive scent And hideous tie so kindly meant,
No love that in a family dwells, No carolling in frosty air, Nor all the steeple-shaking bells Can with this single Truth compare – That God was man in Palestine And lives today in Bread and Wine.
Duagh Live Crib
Remember all the hoo ha in Dublin earlier this December about a live crib. Well, we, in North Kerry, are so lucky to have a live crib to rival anything the capital has to offer.
You have until January 7 to visit the Duagh Live Crib. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It is a treasure. Do remember though that these are farm animals and pets, not zoo animals so respect their space.
Fr. Pat is looking down on this project and he is delighted.
The animals are housed in this beautiful old stable at the back of the church.
Even though the stable is kept at a temperature suitable for the animals some of whom have fur coats, the atmosphere is warm, cosy and welcoming.
The animals have names given to them by the children. The walls all around are decorated with local children’s artwork.
This is a marvellous parish effort. Well done to everyone involved. It’s a triumph. My photographs don’t do it justice. You must go there.
I love to see enterprising young people practicing old crafts. Ballylongford was the place to be on Sunday November 20 2022. The Community Centre was jammed with beautiful things and lovely crafters.
My daughter in law, Carine, was delighted with her purchases from the Mulvihill family stall. She is holding the unique willow wreath which she plans to put on her door. She also loves the flower picture she got for her kitchen.
This engaging young lady was rocking an equine theme with lightweight horseshoe ornaments for every occasion.
I remember a time when every bride carried a horseshoe as well as her bouquet.
This is what the internet says about the horseshoe as a symbol of luck;
Although the origins are not exactly known, it is believed that the horseshoe became the symbol of luck when the eighth century Chaldeans thought its crescent shape represented various moon goddesses thus protecting against the curse of the evil eye.
Remembering Childhood Christmases in Listowel
Margaret Dillon kindly answered my call. Here is her account of childhood Christmases in pre digital days.
These days Christmas is heralded by a marathon of Festive adverts which start earlier each year. Back in the 40’s and 50’s we didn’t have Television so we weren’t subjected to that constant bombardment. Nevertheless we had full and plenty of all the Christmas essentials. Listowel was a busy bustling town back then, the shops were full of all sorts of goodies. Of couse as children we were only interested in the Toy shops particulary Fitzgibbon’s and Walsh’s corner shop. Walsh’s window had a nodding Santa which was a great attraction. We couldn’t contain ourselves on Christmas morning as we opened our presents. Santa was a wonder then and he still is to all children.
On the home front , the decorations were put up across the ceiling from corner to corner. The Holly was put behind the pictures and most important of all the crib was put on the sideboard or windowsill. The cake and plum pudding were already made. While Mam was making the cake we made our wishes as we stirred the mixture. A few days beforehand a goose ( for the New Year celebrations) and a flitch of hairy bacon to go wth the turkey arrived from our Clare relations. My mother and the neighbours Mrs Hickey and Mrs Brennan bought the live turkeys in the market, Mrs Brennan did the killing and we plucked our own, making sure to keep the wings. They served as dusters around the range and grate for the rest of the year.
The big shop was done shortly before the big day in John Joe’s and the reward for our business during the year was the Christmas box. This was like a mini hamper containing tea, a pot of jam and maybe an Oxford Lunch cake. The drinks order of minerals, bottles of Guinness and a bottle of Sherry arrived from John R’s in a large timber box.
Of course Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the Christmas hymns “Away in a Manger” or “Angels we have heard on High” Or the Christmas songs “Jingle Bells” , “Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer” and Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” Adeste Fidelis was sung at Mass on Christmas Day After Mass we stayed back to visit and welcome Baby Jesus in the crib. During the holidays we paid regular visit to the cribs in the parish church and the convent chapel.
Boyeens to Men
My lovely boyeens spent a lot of time in Listowel as children. They always surprise me with their recall of things we did together on their Kerry holidays.
Folklore in The Library
Tom Dillon was his usual entertaining and informative self in Listowel Library last week when he filled us in on the origins of place names.
Placenames are in danger of being lost as we move to Eircodes.
Tom told us that the fishermen had names for various parts of the Feale. Now that fishing is no more these names are in danger of being lost.
I did not know this until Tom told us but wags in Tralee have invented a new place name. They call the Corrib Oil station the Mini Barack Obama.
This area will be beautiful when the flowers and climbers grow a bit.
Meeting a Former Pupil in Ballylongford
On my visit to the traditional crafts farina Ballylongford I ran into my friend, Bridget O’Connor and then together we ran into a former pupil, Dora Mulvihill. Dora and I are in a framed picture in Presentation Secondary School Listowel, celebrating Dora’s gold medal for achieving the highest marks in Irish at her Leaving Cert.
Dora’s lovely son took the picture for me.
When browsing through Boards recently I came across a link to these old photos.
Bet you Didn’t know this
Fourteen years before the Titanic sank, a novelist Morgan Robertson published a novel called Futility. The story was about an ocean liner that struck an iceberg on an April night.
The residents of Cluain Doire have the loveliest entrance to any estate.
They are showing their support for Kerry Rose, Edaein.
Ballylongford Traditional Craft Fair
The fair promised more that it delivered. I was disappointed not to get a tour of the old mill and a few of the promised crafters that I had been looking forward to weren’t there when I went on the Sunday.
I missed the Black Irish Band as well.
However the crafters that were there gave us a great insight into how things were done long ago. My great grandfather was a weaver. There weren’t any weavers at the fair but there were spinners and felters.
The felters were from Cork. They had some lovely colourful stuff and they were teaching the children how felting is done.
This crafter was making jugs and vases out of leather.

"They are the people to call when you have an EMERGENCY PRINT JOB with a crazy deadline."
Offset Printing Services
Offset printing is how Lithographics began back in 1975. Over the last 40+ years, we've been providing offset printing services, it's a printing type we're very experienced in. We feel offset is better than ever with eco-friendly inks, vibrant reproduction, and super-speedy make-readies.
If you're not familiar with this printing technique, offset printing refers to a process where the inked image is transferred, or offset, from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface.
When you use offset print with a lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat planographic image carrier. From this point, Ink rollers then transfer ink to the image areas of the image carrier, the water roller applies a water-based film to the non-image areas. The end result is a beautiful print.
Should We Choose Offset Printing?
There's a number of benefits choosing the offset print technique.
- High Quality Prints - Offset printing produces sharp, clean prints.
- Cost Effective - Compared to other printing types, offset prints are one of the most cost-friendly options.
- Efficient Production - With the efficiency of production, you can get a lot done faster versus other methods.
- Versatility - Offset printing can be used for newspapers, magazines, books, brochures, stationery, and more.
On everyday jobs, you’ll love how Lithographics’ focus on production efficiency translates into cost-effective pricing. If you are producing a once-in-a-lifetime project, our experienced production team is the perfect partner for your big idea.
In our all-Heidelberg pressroom, we print up to 6-colors in one pass and we can perfect. We even print on super-heavy stocks, with thicknesses up to 40 points.
If your design calls for white ink, metallics, soft-touch coatings, gloss/matte varnish effects and more, no problem. We’re makers who love a challenge and always take pride in producing work that makes you say, “This looks great!”

If you are stressed about your dog who no longer wants to sleep in its bed because of the foul smell as you cannot make enough time to wash it timely, now is the time to say goodbyes to your worries.
Nowadays, you can easily find dry cleaners who use pet-friendly detergent solvents to clean dog beds, and they will wash it within 24-48 hours for you. So if your dog isn’t comfortable on its bed, SIMPLY CHOOSE A DRY CLEANING SERVICE.
Do dry cleaners clean dog beds?
Yes, the dry cleaners offer the service of dry cleaning a dog’s bed. Dry cleaning depends on the amount of dirt or pathogen on a dog’s bed. Dry cleaners mostly use a pet-safe detergent to prevent harming a dog’s skin, as different dogs have a variety of allergies towards the solvent or detergent.
Table of Contents
Undoubtedly, your dog’s bed will get dirty with time. Given the benefit of the doubt, you should consider dry washing your dog’s bed as it is safe for your dog’s skin. Though there are no quick ways to clean your dog’s bed, dry cleaning might have various alternatives.
If your dog’s bed is too big to fit in a dry cleaning machine, you can wash it in your bathroom in a tub. Make sure you use an eco-friendly detergent.
Can you dry clean dog beds?
You can dry clean your dog’s bed. However, dry cleaning at home isn’t quite the exact thing as dropping your clothes off at the cleaner. Usually, the components for dry cleaning are fabrics like wool, silk, rayon, etc.
Once you understand the type of bed material you are using, you shouldn’t feel hesitant to dry clean your dog’s bed.
You should make sure that you use an eco-friendly dry cleaning solvent while putting your dog’s bed to make sure it doesn’t harm your pet in any way.
How to dry clean a dog bed?
It would help if you regularly cleaned your dog’s bed so that your dog can lead a happy and cheerful life like yours. To dry clean your dog’s bed at first shake the bed very well to remove the dirt or debris on it.
Check for any stains or spots on the dog beds and soak it in hot water to eliminate the stubborn spotty areas. After getting rid of the marks, please put it in a dry cleaning washing machine and put a safe pet-friendly-solvent over the dog’s bed. Lastly, dry it with the help of sunlight and use a spray to spread good fragrance.
Please consider reading the tags and instructions before dry cleaning your dog’s bed. Your dog might be intolerant to some solvent, and in that case, dry cleaning isn’t a safe option. Nevertheless, dry cleaning would help you completely get rid of dirt or the pathogens on it.
Is it safe to dry clean a dog bed?
Yes, it’s safe to dry clean a dog bed if a pet-safe laundry detergent is used regularly. It’s a good practice to dry clean your dog’s bed at least once or twice a week. However, you should also check how much your pet sheds, the amount of time they spend sleeping on their beds and if they have any allergies.
Drying cleaning a dog’s bed also depends on the fabric material the bed is made of. Thus you should always follow the instructions given in the washing machine or on the cloth to create a problematic situation for your pet.
You should also check the amount of solvent you are using to dry wash your dog’s bed so that it wipes off the pathogens from your dog’s bed.
However, if your dog bed is too big for dry washing, wash it in a giant bathtub with water and the solvent, and your work is done.
Where can you dry clean dog beds?
You can quickly dry clean dog beds in your home. Drying cleaning dog beds is pretty simple if you have a dry washing machine in your home. Otherwise, you can always get a dry cleaning service or hire someone who can dry clean your dog’s bed for you.
What are the alternatives to dry cleaning for the dog bed?
You might have to think a lot about cleaning your dog’s bed if you cannot merely afford dry cleaning service. But don’t worry. The alternatives to dry cleaning for a dog bed are quite simple and easily affordable.
Using apple cider or white vinegar :
The most affordable and cheapest solution you can ever found would be a bottle of either apple cider or white vinegar. It’s always available in your home, and you don’t have to rush to your nearest department store in the middle of a night if your dog poops on its bed.
Moreover, scientifically it’s proven as the best detergent against cleaning the pathogens.
Baking Soda :
You might find it difficult to wash a stinky dog bed. In that case, Baking soda would work in the best possible way as it has an odor-absorbing capacity. The good thing is it’s also available at your home for cooking purposes.
As a dry cleaning agent, it absorbs every type of bad smell. You can take a pinch of baking soda and spread it all over on your dog’s bed to get a nice fragrance. After getting mixed with water, it would become a very thick paste to wash away the dirt.
In order to make a baking soda solution, pour some warm water into a container, take a pinch of baking soda and a bit of kitchen salt. After you have made the paste, put this paste on a sponge and clean the bed cover’s mattress. After you have washed it well, soak it in warm water to get rid of the pathogens.
Lemon Juice is a great solution too :
You might dislike the smell of vinegar. In that case, use lemon juice, which serves as an active cleaning agent. Lemon juice contains enzymes that work against organic matters like oil, fat, grease and lipid, etc.
Lemon Juice is an excellent solution as it works against a stain or dirt in a dog’s bed.You’ll need an empty spray bottle, hot water, baking soda, and lemon juice to take advantage of lemon juice’s effectiveness. Baking soda is an alternative in this case too.
However, if you add it, it can increase the total performance of this all-activity cleaner. Use two tablespoons of baking soda solution, measure three cups of hot boiling water, and then pour two spoons of lemon juice.
Taking some hot water into a container, start adding baking soda, and vibrate it with your hands so that it gets mixed with the solution. Finally, add lemon juice, spread it on the bed cover or foam, and wipe it off with a used clean cloth.
Many washing detergents are now available at pet stores. These detergents bear fragrance and optical brighteners to clean the dog bed. If you want to try a detergent, go for one detergent that doesn’t use any toxic compounds.
Eco-friendly detergents are highly recommended in this case. These detergents are powerful enough to take out all the germs and microorganisms, ensuring that the bed appears absolutely new.
A piece of advice would be to read the instructions and its ingredients. Figure out whether the detergent is safe for your dog as some dogs might have high allergies to certain substances.
How often should I wash my dog’s bed?
The best solution is to always consider washing your dog’s bed once or twice a week. If it has been a long time since you cleaned your own dog’s mattress, consider getting a dry cleaning service or in a washing machine. Your little pup mightn’t want to sleep on a dirty couch.
You can also make a chart or even a routine to monitor the monthly routine of dry washing for your dog. The accurate frequency is dependent on your dog’s habit.
How much he plays outside when brings dirt to its bed and how much he sheds on its bed determines how frequently you should often wash your dog’s bed.
Generally, you can remove the cover from your dog’s bed and wash it every few weeks to decontaminate your dog’s bed and keep it clean.
We know your dog is your special little pup, and you dislike the idea of your puppy getting sick because of a dirty bed. In that case, you need to be careful while giving it a dry clean. Dry cleaning with safe pet-friendly detergents is mostly preferable for most dogs. Yet, a bit of carefulness won’t hurt anyone! | <urn:uuid:03bc2223-cfce-4656-acbb-46ad7ecec842> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://littlehappypaw.com/dry-cleaning-dog-beds/ | 2023-09-28T18:17:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.937908 | 1,862 |
The Charming Cat Hat knitting pattern features a cat face and ears incorporated into a large cozy ribbed folded brim!
I have an original cat hat knitting pattern which is one of my first knitting patterns ever. I love that one. It’s almost ten years old and at the time, that kind of cutesy kitty cat face with only a nose and whiskers was very in.
Now occasionally, I get people asking why that adorable hat doesn’t have eyes. Y’all, it was the trend! Anyway, I also enjoy coming up with new takes on old ideas so I thought it might be cute to mash up a huge cozy folded brim with a cat hat, put the ears on the top of the brim and then add a complete cat face.
I think this hat turned out SO cute and I love that your little one could even wear it with their coat hood up and still see the entire cat face and knit cat ears.
This is also a really easy baby hat knitting pattern so if you’re new to knitting any of my animal hats, this is a great one to start with!
This cute Charming Cat Hat is knit in the round with circular and double pointed knitting needles. You need the DPNs to knit the decrease section of the hat. Then the ears are knit flat (you can use two of your DPNs for this step instead of getting out straight knitting needles) and then sewed on to the ribbed brim of the hat.
Finally you will embroider the cute kitty cat face on the folded up brim. It’s up to you if you embroider through just one layer of knit fabric or through both layers of the folded brim. The important thing to keep in mind, however, when adding the cat face, is to keep those stitches a little bit loose. If your whiskers, for example, are stitched tightly, then they will pull when the hat stretches and that will not look good.
Are you ready to knit a Charming Cat Hat with me? Let’s do it!
Charming Cat Hat Knitting Pattern
(includes Sizes 0-3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2T+)
Gauge: 20 stitches = 4 inches
(If you need help, my favorite knitting reference book for everyone from beginners to advanced knitters is THIS ONE!)

Charming Cat Knitting Pattern Instructions (size 12 months)
Using long-tail cast on, cast on 72 stitches onto your circular needles with the gray yarn color. Join to knit in the round and knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch in a rib stitch for 7 inches. This is the folded brim. Then knit all rows until the hat is about 5 inches long measured with the brim folded up in half.
Decrease (divide your stitches between 3 double pointed needles or use magic loop):
Round 1: (k6, k2tog) repeat to the end of the round
Round 2: knit all stitches
Round 3: (k5, k2tog) repeat to the end of the round
Round 4: knit all stitches
Round 5: (k4, k2tog) repeat to the end of the round
Round 6: knit all stitches
Round 7: (k3, k2tog) repeat to the end of the round
Round 8: knit all stitches
Round 9: (k2, k2tog) repeat to the end of the round
Round 10: knit all stitches
Round 11: (k1, k2tog) repeat to the end of the round
Round 12: k2tog and repeat to the end of the round
Cut yarn, thread through loops and pull to close. Weave in ends.
Ears (make 2):
Using double pointed needles as straight needles, cast on 10 stitches with black yarn, leaving a long tail to stitch the ears to the hat.
Rows 1-4: knit all rows
Row 5: k2tog, k6, ssk
Row 6: knit all stitches
Row 7: k2tog, k4, ssk
Row 8: knit all stitches
Row 9: k2tog, k2, ssk
Row 10: knit all stitches
Row 11: k2tog, ssk
Row 12: k2tog
Cut yarn, pull through loop and weave in that end.
To assemble the hat:
Thread one long gray cast on tail onto a yarn needle and sew the ear to the cast on edge of the folded brim as shown. Repeat with the other ear
To stitch the nose, use your yarn needle and length of pink yarn to make three simple stitches in decreasing length to make the nose shape. Knot and weave in ends inside the hat.
Use a yarn needle and a length of white yarn to stitch the whiskers. Keep your stitches fairly loose so they won’t pull when the hat stretches. Weave in ends on the inside of the hat.
Finally thread a length of black yarn on your yarn needle and stitch two stitches for the eyes and two more stitches in the shape of an upside down T for the mouth, under the nose. Weave in ends inside.

The Shark Attack Hat knitting pattern is perfect for your ocean loving little one & will give pretty much anyone a chuckle when they see it!
I’ve been wanting to design a shark hat knitting pattern forever. And all of my previous attempts have just not been good. The teeth are hard! They just keep ending up looking goofy which is really not what you want for a shark.
So the other day when I was pondering shark hats for the hundredth time, I had the idea for this hat, the Shark Attach Hat knitting pattern and I am so pleased with how it turned out. How fun is this one?
This cute shar hat knitting pattern is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn. To knit the ocean waves you do need to be familiar with Fair Isle or stranded knitting techniques. It’s just a few rounds though, super easy.
Then, when you have finished the entire hat, the shark fins are added at the end with duplicate stitch for knitting. Bet you didn’t know that was coming, did ya? Much like the shark, it’s a little bit of a sneaky technique for this one but it makes it so easy! And because the shark fins are added with duplicate stitch, you can add as many as you want. I actually put two on my hat, though it’s hard to see in the photos. But it’s up to you.
If you already already know how to do duplicate stitch, this will be really easy for you. And if you don’t, that’s ok, I have a duplicate stitch tutorial right here on my site. It’s easy peasy and this shark fin takes just a few minutes to add!
I really hope you all like this one as much as I do, it makes me laugh every single time I see it and I can just picture a shark fan being very excited about finally having a shark hat. Now back to my sketchbook to see if I can finally figure out those shark teeth on my other version.
Are you ready to knit? Let’s go!

I have some problems with forwarding threat syslog events from Panorama to OSSIM.
We have several PA and they forward their threat logs to our Panorama Appliance via SSL
Now we need this Threatlogs at our OSSIM System as well.
Because of, Policy restrictions we can not syslog directly from our PAs to our OSSIM System,
so i want use the Panorama instead.
But the only syslog information i got are general information logs
How do i get my Panorama to forward the threatlogs to our OSSIM System?
Under Objects->Log Forwarding-->Log Type->Threat
For all Severenity there ist the Syslog Server and Panorama configured.
So the PA send all Logs to the Panorama and the syslog server, but because of Firewall policies between the PAs and the syslog server it is not allowed to forwoard syslog through the firewall
And the PAs communicate over ssl witch the panorma which is allowed
there are no firewall restrictions between Panorama and the syslog server
So I want the Panorama to forward the threat logs from all our PAs to the syslog server,
but the only syslogs the Panorama forwards are System logs from the Panorama itself but not any of the logs which the PAs send to the Panorama
So my Problem is how to configure the log forwarding of the threatlogs, which where send over ssl to the panorama,
now from the panorama to the syslog server

It’s probably too early to tell, but my newly released book, The Missional Journey, really seems to be resonating with a wide variety of readers– from mainline denominations to Pentecostal. Many have told me they experience a deep, visceral, heartfelt response: that internal “Yes, this is what God has called us to do.”
The Missional Journey seems to be stimulating people toward action in a way that they are motivated about. People have told me that they like how the book is very holistic, coming out of a theological and biblical framework, but also how it moves them toward thinking in very practical terms: What’s the next step to help us move forward?
People are wanting to have conversation after conversation to figure out what’s next to really make this vision happen. One man said, “I would love to take a church and this book, and walk with people through the journey of implementing it.”
I had a conversation with another ministry leader who wants to develop missional communities and to coach missional community leaders. I said, “With your background in coaching and your understanding of how groups function, all you really need to do is to take The Missional Journey book and walk with your leaders through the process at the end of each chapter, and you’re already 90% there.” If you really want to do something, this does give you tracks to run on. Your results may not be as fast as you want, but they will be profound.

If you’re an Apple fan then look away right now for you may not like this article.
Samsung Galaxy S5 made a star debut at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, boasting features that may well eat Apple iPhone 5s’ lunch.
Samsung packed a lot of punch with the launch of its new “superphone”. It launched two new products with the phone: Gear Fit, a fitness band that can work as a pedometer, heart rate tracker and sleep monitor; and the second generation of the Samsung smartwatch.
Now the fifth generation of both phones are competing with each other like Murray and Federer. We compare features of the two phone pharaohs:
Size does matter when you start the screen debate. Samsung Galaxy S5’s 5.1-inch full HD display belittles the iPhone 5S’s 4-inch size.
While Galaxy S5’s screen is 0.1 inch bigger than the Galaxy S4, the iPhone 5s’ screen is the same as the iPhone 5.
However, rumour has it that Apple will play catch-up and kit the iPhone 6 with bigger screens.
Score: Samsung 1 Apple 0
2. Fingerprint scanner
The juiciest bit of the iPhone 5s was its fingerprint sensor but Apple did feel a little exposed after news reports of the 5s being unlocked using nipples started doing rounds.
The USP of Samsung Galaxy S5 too is its fingerprint sensor. It’s outdone Apple’s fingerprint sensor by offering Biometric security where a finger swipe will enable a “private mode”, a way of storing sensitive information accessible only by using the scanner.
Samsung has also partnered with PayPal to allow buyers to authenticate PayPal payments using the fingerprint sensor.
Score: Samsung 2 Apple 0
The new Samsung phone comes in black, white, blue and gold but the leather backs frankly make it the new models look like used leather car seats. Basically, it’s #tacky.
It hasn’t quite matched up to Apple’s chic gold, grey silver and black iPhone 5s.
Score: Samsung 2 Apple 1
4. Operating System
Samsung has pipped iPhone 5s’ operating system with Android 4.4 (KitKat), the latest version of the operating system. The new version has made the phone faster than its predecessors.
Apple’s iO7, on the other hand, sent gazillion updates about new updates. In fact, yesterday it was revealed that a serious bug affects every Apple device.
Score: Samsung 3 Apple 1
While Apple does offer three storage options i.e 16GB/32GB/64GB, Samsung provides only two i.e 16GB and 32GB with the option of boosting the amount of storage available with a microSD card slot.
So Apple wins this round.
Score: Samsung 3 Apple 2
Galaxy S5’s camera is its trump card in this battleground. The 16-megapixel camera has a contrast-detect autofocus, which Samsung claims is the fastest autofocus in any smartphone.
Apple’s iPhone 5s camera? A mere 8-megapixels.
Score: Samsung 4 Apple 2
Both phones come with LTE functionality for 4G, Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi. However, the Galaxy S5 supports fifth generation WiFi 802.11ac. The iPhone 5s is still using 802.11a/b/g/n bands.
Too technical? This just means that Samsung is better connected than Apple.
Score: Samsung 5 Apple 2
The Samsung S5 comes fitted with a 2800mAH battery while the iPhone 5s comes with a 1,570mAh battery.
Samsung’s Galaxy S5 has bettered its battery compared to its predecessor. It comes with a black-and-white mode where the phone will can be used just for phone calls and text messages. This is expected to boost battery life for up to 24 hours.
Apple makes no such promise.
Score: Samsung 6 Apple 2
If you compare sales from last year, then Samsung is definitely the market leader. The South Korean firm has around 31% of the global mobile market while Apple has garnered a 15% share. While Samsung’s sales grew 42.9% last year, Apple’s sales were up just 15.9%.
The big question here is can Apple beat Samsung with the iPhone 6? It’s a tall order because Apple’s cool quotient is fizzling out. But where Apple can really redeem itself is price. If it comes at a more competitive price than Samsung phones then Apple may be able to lure its lost customers.
Will you Apple aficionados now consider switching to Samsung?

Full-day Pico Bonito National Park
Undoubtedly one of the best national parks in Honduras, Pico Bonito covers a land extension with elevations ranging from sea level to 7,800 feet, housing the biggest height change in the country.

A hand operated flatcar railroad left behind from the old Standard Fruit Co. Once in the reserve boundaries you will board a small boat for viewing the abundant wildlife. The park protects about 35 different species of animals, including manatee, jaguar, jabiru, whitefaced monkeys, and other monkey species, as well as 198 species of birds.

When I heard about the incident that left 23-year-old Selena Quintanilla Perez dead last year, I was appalled. Not only was it a shame to hear about a young life taken, but the manner in which her life ended is disturbing. As you strolled down the streets of Latino neighborhoods you could hear the now famous rhythms from her songs in most households. Unfortunately, the aura of Chicano pride that once surrounded the image of Selena has been clouded with the surge of booming business that was conceived when Selena’s life came to an abrupt and untimely end.
Last Sunday, in hopes of grasping an opportunity to stardom and in what they call a tribute to the late singer, about 8,000 girls and young women flooded the Los Angeles Union Station to audition for the Warner Bros. film that will pay homage to the slain star. Director Gregory Nava held casting calls in San Antonio, Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago in search of two females to play the role of Selena.
Creating a two-hour film about the Tejano singer’s life is wrong. The movie may exalt the memory of Selena, however, as in most things in life, at the root is always money.
The producers of the film have surely not overlooked the profit that can be expected from the story of the gunned down singer.
Selena’s last album “Dreaming of You” sold 175,000 copies in one day, making it the second fastest moving album in history by a female recording artist. Perhaps this fact is the driving force behind the movie deal.
Unfortunately, Selena’s memory is being outlined by dollar signs. She was not alive to see her pieces performed in English reach the markets. For this superstar, across-the-border stardom was not reached until after the bullets rang out at the Corpus Christi, Texas motel last March.
Not only did her death bring attention to her music, but also to her aspiring fashion line and her father’s recording studio business, Q Productions.
Throughout the past year, it has not been rare to tune into a Spanish radio or television station and discover some sort of laudation for Selena. Whether it is a compilation of her music videos or re-airing past interviews, dead or alive, Selena seems to still be in the spotlight.
It is saddening that a young life was taken in a moment of rage. But what is more disheartening is the fact that many are seeing Selena’s death as opportunities to sell music, make t-shirts, print posters, make a film and become movie stars.
The most disturbing business that has sprouted from this death is the Selena fashion label. As an aspiring fashion designer, Selena left many designs behind without ever being able to see the finished product. If the label is only being used to market the designs she created, the clothing line may be acceptable. However, her family has created an entire assembly line to continue the business that was originally her endeavor, even though she is dead.
All of these commercial actions are not paying tribute, but disrespecting a memory for money. Selena’s name will soon join the long list of deceased superstars who had the most success after their death, and whose talents are the source of the profit of others.
Selena’s life and death have become the opportunity for others to make it onto the big screen. It was not enough that her fame propelled Tejano music into the mainstream.
The singer’s misfortune has become the fortune of others in less than a year. These commercial actions are not made to acclaim her memory. Rather, her death has been made into the opportunity to make a lucrative dollar.
Regardless of how tragic and devastating the death, sometimes it is best to let the dead rest in peace.
Selena must be tossing and turning in her grave from the abundance of resurrection acts that are being plotted to honor her memory and wondering why all this glory was not vivid when she was alive to celebrate it. | <urn:uuid:136b4d02-e6b4-4088-aedb-6c60ab3784d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lvcampustimes.org/1996/03/memory-obscured-by-money/?amp=1 | 2023-09-28T17:31:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.972742 | 842 |
Drywall is a commonly used material for interior walls and ceilings in residential and commercial buildings. It provides a smooth, durable surface that can be easily painted or textured. However, like any building material, drywall is susceptible to damage. Today, we at L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc. would like to share some of the common types of drywall damage and how they can occur.
Cracks are one of the most common types of drywall damage. They can be caused by various factors, such as settling of the building, temperature fluctuations, or even improper installation. Small cracks are usually cosmetic in nature and can be easily repaired with spackling or joint compound. However, larger cracks may indicate underlying structural issues and may require professional assessment and repair.
Nail Pops in Drywall
Nail pops occur when the drywall nails or screws become loose and push through the surface, creating a visible bump or hole. This can happen due to the natural expansion and contraction of the building materials or improper installation. Nail pops are relatively easy to fix by removing the loose fastener, applying joint compound, and sanding the area before repainting.
Drywall Water Damage
Water damage is a common problem that can severely affect drywall. It can be caused by leaking pipes, roof leaks, plumbing issues, or floods. When drywall gets wet, it becomes weak, discolored, and may even crumble. Mold growth is also a concern in water-damaged drywall. Repairing water damage involves removing the affected portion of the drywall, drying the area thoroughly, and replacing it with new drywall. Additionally, addressing the source of water intrusion is crucial to prevent further damage.
Impact Holes in Drywall
Accidental impacts, such as furniture collisions or doorknob strikes, can cause holes in drywall. Small holes can be repaired with spackling or joint compound, while larger holes require patching with a drywall patch or a piece of new drywall. The patched area is then sanded, primed, and painted to match the surrounding wall.
Drywall Settling & Shifting
Over time, buildings may settle or experience shifting due to various factors like soil movement or foundation issues. This can lead to visible cracks, uneven surfaces, and gaps between drywall sheets. Repairing these types of damage often involves reinforcing the underlying structure, filling gaps with joint compound, and applying multiple layers of joint compound to achieve a smooth finish.
Peeling or Bubbling Paint in Drywall
Sometimes, the paint on drywall may start to peel or bubble. This can be caused by moisture behind the drywall, poor surface preparation before painting, or the use of low-quality paint. To fix this issue, the peeling or bubbled paint needs to be scraped off, the surface needs to be smoothed with sandpaper, and a new coat of primer and paint should be applied.

Drywall damage is a common occurrence in buildings. Cracks, nail pops, water damage, impact holes, settling and shifting, and peeling paint are some of the common issues that can affect drywall. It is important to address these problems promptly to prevent further damage and maintain the integrity and aesthetics of the walls or ceilings. Depending on the severity of the damage, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance to ensure proper repair and restoration. Call L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc. if your drywall needs repair and our experts will take care of the rest. | <urn:uuid:310225fb-4098-4f43-b53d-50dc967cd848> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lwwinslowpaintinginc.com/how-to-fix-common-drywall-damage-in-westhampton-beach-ny/ | 2023-09-28T17:24:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.921878 | 796 |

Batman #564 - DC Comics - 1999
As Scarecrow observes the fear in the people at the Ark Project Refugee Center, Huntress brings a near-dead Mikey to Father Chris, hoping he can do something. Although Father Chris can only pray for him, Huntress knows he won't live to the morning and leaves to get help. Scarecrow, who hoped that the attack on Mikey would cause a riot, fears that the people have been brought closer together instead. He tries to incite a riot, claiming that prayer is not helping and that instead the people are now in hell and cannot be saved.

1. What inspired you to start Primary Information?
I think there were two reasons to start Primary Information. James [Hoff] and I are both very interested in artists’ books and some of the publications we were most interested in were rare and expensive—too expensive for us. We wanted to share these projects with people that might not be able to afford them. The second reason is that we wanted to promote artists we were interested in outside of exhibitions which are limited to a time period and place. I’d discovered European artists whose work I’d never seen in person through books and wanted to do the same for American artists or younger artists.
2. Why is there a need for projects like Primary Information, which feature printings and collation of original art historical documents?
Much of the material we work with is forgotten or rare—perhaps having only been published once. We want people to have access to these projects without already being experts. I think artists used to write more and many younger artists aren’t encouraged to do so. By highlighting these writings or publications, hopefully it encourages younger artists to write about art.
3. Are there other projects, people, things that have inspired the Primary Information project? How does your work as a curator line-up with your work as the co-publisher of Primary Information?
We are very inspired by Seth Siegelaub, a curator, gallerist, and writer active in promoting conceptual artists in the 1960s and 70s. One of the things Siegelaub is known for is curating exhibitions which take the form of books.
4. What has been your favorite project to work on and why is this the case?
Right now the Lee Lozano Notebooks are my favorite because she made diverse bodies of work and the Notebooks are a great way to get insight into her process and how the works relate to each other. Publishing facsimile reprints can be an aesthetic challenge but I think the design retains the intimacy of the notebook form while still seeming current.
5. What projects do you see in the future for Primary Information? What direction would you like to take the press in?
The future involves more projects by younger artists that are developed specifically for the press in addition to the reprints that we do. We are also expanding our downloadable PDF section on our website starting with a collection of Siegelaub’s publications.
This past Friday, I got together with Miriam Katzeff who, along with James Hoff, publishes Primary Information, a publishing project devoted to making available printed matter of an art historic significance as well as supporting emergent artists books and other print-based artists’ projects.
What is immediately striking about all of the Primary Information books I’ve encountered is their simple yet exquisite design. What may not be so readily visible is the equally exquisite ethos that informs the publishing project. Many of us have had the experience where we encountered a treasured book or printed object in a used bookstore, but couldn’t purchase it because it was too expensive. Too often materials like the ones Primary Information republish become fetishized for their lack of availability. Through Primary Information, Katzeff and Hoff would like a readership, and younger artists and writers in particular, to be able to take a chance on printed editions because they like the design of a book or have found something compelling browsing the book’s contents. They would also like to put works back in circulation that they once could have only encountered from a distance—through poor reproductions, rumor, or exhibition.
Another aspect of Primary Information’s ethos that I find compelling, is the publisher’s commitments to art writing that is not reducible to those formats which have become calcified in our era (the catalogue essay, review, email interview, or press release in particular), as well as to writing by artists. Against the various cynicisms of art critical discourse today (not least of which is a sense that art’s potential for critical engagement has become eclipsed by its market potential), Primary Information has published the Avalanche box-set, which includes staple-bound facsimile editions of the first eight issues of the magazine (from Fall 1970 through Summer/Fall 1973) published by Liza Béar and Willoughby Sharp, as well as a compilation of the Avalanche newspaper, which ran from May/June 1974 to the Summer 1976 in a series of thirteen issues.
Reading a few of the early Avalanches in Primary Information’s pristinely rendered facsimile editions, what struck me was the urgency of Sharp’s and Béar’s interviews with other artists, the high impact of Avalanche’s design, which combined gorgeous photo spreads with easy-to-read print content, and the playfulness of Sharp’s and Béar’s reports about what was current in the art world, located in the “Rumbles” section at the front of each issue of the magazine. The following, in fact, are two highly amusing rumbles concerning Andy Warhol’s and William Wegman’s at the time most recent projects (from Avalanche Fall 1970):
Although Andy Warhol’s Blue Movie (or Viva and Louis) is still tied up in litigation, he now has backing for his first Hollywood-based film, Specimen Days, the story of Walt Whitman’s experiences as a Civil War male nurse. With shooting set to begin in New Orleans, the regulars are ready but the lead is still to be cast. Allen Ginsberg, Mick Jagger, and John Lennon have all turned it down. (7)
William Wegman performed Three Speeds, Three Temperatures (right) this May in the faculty men’s room at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he taught last year. Since his participation in When Attitudes Becomes Form in Bern, Wegman has executed an unusual range of works including outdoor projects, floor arrangements, punning sculpture, body works, and a piece involving a sleeping girl and a dog. “They’re always asking me what my work stands for and I always tell them it doesn’t stand, it sits.” (8)
Another pleasure in reading Primary Information’s Avalanche facsimiles was to read interviews with artists before their “oeuvres” had cohered (or become saleable, for that matter). With few exceptions (such as the famous interview conducted by Béar with Dennis Oppenheim, Michael Heizer, and Robert Smithson in the Fall 1970 issue, where all three artists displayed a unique confidence in how their practices correlated), the artists interviewed in Avalanche tended to display a refreshing naivete—a sense that what they were exploring were new possibilities for art and for themselves personally.
In Avalanche and in the other projects Primary Information has published—such as Dan Graham’s writings on rock music and popular culture, Rock / Music Writings—one discovers artists speaking critically to one another’s projects and to a culture at large. Having taught younger artists in art school settings, I share Primary Information’s desire to educate and inspire younger artists to write publicly about each other’s work and to address their concerns as artists to a broader conversation about culture and politics.
Another important aspect of Primary Information’s project is to provide documents of artists’ lesser-known works and phases of their career. Exemplary of this commitment is a facsimile of Lee Lozano’s 1967-1970 notebooks, where the artist records her movement away from signature forms such as her “wave” paintings towards time-based performance and group processes. Whereas typically a collection like Lozano’s Notebooks 1967-1970 would remain in cold storage indefinitely and thus only be accessible by scholars and archivists, Primary Information has made available a facsimile edition of the notebooks which displays the fascinating processes of an artist struggling through aesthetic problems that would eventually lead to Lozano’s renunciation of her practice as a visual artist.
The drama of the notebook—and the immediacy of certain marks, erasures, rewrites—cannot be overemphasized, as though the notebook were a kind of feedback device working in tandem with the performance works themselves. By the end of the notebook, the reader is in a much different place from where he/she began with Lozano’s sketches and mathematical formulas for the wave paintings. We are before her renunciation. I am not sure if this drama could be displayed merely in a transcript form, or through a scholar’s rendering sans visual documents. Regardless, there is a lot to be said for making the aural experience of the notebooks available to a readership, and one specifically who may be encountering Lozano’s work for the first time.
Is the publisher a curator? The term “curator” is obviously pretty played-out at this point, but I think it is interesting that Katzeff works as a curator with Team Gallery, and that her employment may inform her work with Primary Information. Inasmuch as book publishing and curation both shape attention—and specifically one’s attention to particular cultural-historical currents and continuums—Primary Information conflates the activity of publishing with curating, the archivist’s labor with a vigorous and compelling design practice.
A project which highlights correspondences between curator and book designer/publisher is Primary Information’s upcoming “fanzine” publication Mirror Me, edited by writer and curator Brandon Stosuy with German artist Kai Althoff, after a suite of events the pair organized during the summer of 2009 at Dispatch Bureau on the Lower East Side. Thanks to Katzeff, I was able to preview a PDF of Mirror Me, which combines the scrappy, high impact design aesthetic of ‘zine culture with the occult content of Black Metal music and art. Among the materials gathered in Mirror Me are photographs taken by the editors and others involved with the project, documents from the Mirror Me events at Dispatch Bureau, and various poems and scraps of prose of a mystical and inspired import. One of my favorites among these scraps describes an encounter between Kai, Brandon, and Varg Vikernes of the Norwegian Black Metal band, Mayhem:
They tell us Varg Vikernes is almost free. He killed someone in the early 1990s. At that time he believed in Satan.
And Brandon was relieved, and so was Kai, when they heard Varg was to be set free after all these years. While in prison, he taught so many about paganism. He is a paganist and a racist, therefore he will also not accept homosexuality. They are eagerly expecting his steps into a life of paganism, devoid of the limitation of being imprisoned.
Wynton Marsalis writes the most refined music, and he plays the trumpet. He did soundtracks for Spike Lee to multiply all New York summers known in the year of 1985. This is amongst a black community.
Brandon admires Varg’s music. Kai wants to follow Varg and wonders how it all goes together with Brandon wanting the country to be governed by Barack Obama, while also listening to Varg.
And Kai thinks Varg Vikernes would be a man he truly wanted to follow,denying his false conception to love a man in the W R O N G way, which will automatically lead to his self-perception as scum in the eye of Varg. Thus, if told to be executed, he would accept with no lament. Wynton Marsalis stands for culture and smartness. And self-confidence.
Wynton is what stands for the civilized in man. He is looked upon as the most degenerated form of a black man by some pagan, as this blackman holds the power of awareness and intellectualism.
This is questioned. Also by some semi-forceful act.
With Mirror Me and other upcoming projects, Primary Information moves in a slightly different direction from their previous works, from the past into the future. If Primary Information’s former projects represent a mode of recovery and transmission (to archive, document, redistribute) necessitated by our current cultural moment, then these new works make visible community-oriented art discourses as they are emergent, developing, and future directed.
Primary Information, amidst a widespread proliferation of projects by contemporary artists, publishers, educators, scholars, and curators dedicated to reexamining late-20th century art histories and presencing visual art discourse in the early 21st century, provides an attractive model for placing current cultural production within critical historical frameworks. By making available printed matter in relatively inexpensive facsimile forms which respect the documentary integrity of the original object and collating uncopyrighted materials (such as those of the Art Workers Coalition) in PDF formats, Katzeff and Hoff provide an invaluable resource for contemporary artists, scholars, students, and fans of previously submerged art-cultural histories. | <urn:uuid:974752d2-83c4-4a30-b87b-60d490a4fd0a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://magazine.art21.org/2010/09/10/5-questions-with-miriam-katzeff-of-primary-information/ | 2023-09-28T17:21:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.962043 | 2,690 |
Einstein scientists will study TB infection, the origins of obesity and more, thanks to recent grants from the National Institutes of Health.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, is notorious for evading the body’s immune response. John Chan, M.D., Steven Porcelli, M.D., and Michael Berney, Ph.D., have found evidence that M. tuberculosis evades anti-TB immunity by activating an immunosuppressive pathway controlled by the host enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded them a five-year, $4 million grant to study how immunosuppression mediated by IDO activation helps M. tuberculosis circumvent immune defenses. Their research could lead to interventions for better TB control.
Dr. Chan is a professor of medicine and of microbiology & immunology and an attending physician in infectious disease at Montefiore; Dr. Porcelli is a professor and the chair of microbiology & immunology, a professor of medicine and the Murray and Evelyne Weinstock Chair in Microbiology & Immunology; and Dr. Berney is an assistant professor of microbiology & immunology.
The more than 70 types of autoimmune diseases occur when immune cells aberrantly attack the body’s own cells or tissues. CD8 T cells strongly contribute to the pathology seen in type 1 diabetes and many other autoimmune diseases. The NIH has awarded Teresa DiLorenzo, Ph.D., and Steven C. Almo, Ph.D., a five-year, $3.6 million grant to study the molecular interactions that occur when CD8 T cells target and damage tissue.
CD8 T cells attack disease-causing microbes and tumors too, so knowledge gained from studying them should reveal information about T-cell biology in general.
Dr. DiLorenzo is a professor of microbiology & immunology and of medicine and the Diane Belfer, Cypres & Endelson Families Faculty Scholar in Diabetes Research at Einstein. Dr. Almo is a professor and the chair of biochemistry, a professor of physiology & biophysics and the Wollowick Family Foundation Chair in Multiple Sclerosis and Immunology at Einstein.
Intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) newborns weigh less than average but later risk becoming obese or overweight. Studies suggest that IUGR-related obesity may stem from epigenetic alterations during fetal life—in particular, changes in DNA methylation patterns.
The NIH has awarded Maureen J. Charron, Ph.D., and Mamta Fuloria, M.B.B.S., a five-year, $3.5 million grant to study DNA methylation of CD3+ T cells, which contribute to obesity by triggering fat-cell inflammation. The researchers will examine the CD3+ T cells of IUGR babies at birth and at age 2, to see whether changes in DNA methylation patterns persist. The study may identify early biomarkers for predicting obesity later in life.
Dr. Charron is a professor of biochemistry, of obstetrics & gynecology and women’s health and of medicine. Dr. Fuloria is an associate professor of pediatrics and a neonatologist at Children’s Hospital at Montefiore.
People living with HIV face increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Evidence suggests that gut microbiota altered during HIV infection may contribute to HIV-related CVD. Qibin Qi, Ph.D., and colleagues received a four-year, $3.3 million NIH grant to study whether gut microbiota trigger HIV-related CVD by disrupting metabolites (intermediate metabolic products) and increasing inflammation and immune activation.
Their research involves 400 men and women, two-thirds of whom are HIV+. Their gut microbiomes and metabolite profiles will be studied and—to assess for CVD—they’ll undergo carotid artery ultrasound imaging and tests for serum and cellular inflammation and immunology markers. Because treatment may be able to influence both gut microbiota and related immune and inflammation activity, the findings may have major public health implications.
Dr. Qi is an associate professor of epidemiology & population health.
The immune system depends on mutations in genes that code for antibodies to spawn the wide variety of antibodies that protect against pathogens. The enzyme responsible for these mutations, activation-induced deaminase (AID), sometimes mutates other genes as well, leading to B-cell lymphoma and other cancers.
Matthew Scharff, M.D., and Stony Brook University’s Thomas MacCarthy, Ph.D., were awarded a five-year, $2.9 million NIH grant to learn how AID targets specific regions within antibody genes. Understanding how AID induces gene mutations could lead to new vaccine strategies and reveal risk factors for cancers in which AID is implicated.
Dr. Scharff is a distinguished professor of cell biology and of medicine and holds the Harry Eagle Chair in Cancer Research/National Women’s Division. Dr. MacCarthy is an assistant professor of applied mathematics and statistics at Stony Brook University and did his postdoctoral training at Einstein. | <urn:uuid:daebfbe9-82cd-4200-9f65-9144ca3eec1f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://magazine.einsteinmed.edu/summer-fall-2018/major-nih-research-awards-4/ | 2023-09-28T18:23:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.920376 | 1,078 |
The Wound management over 4000 years have been skillfully developing for providing effective care. These Interventions include Medical care; Local Care of wounds and Surgical Care. With the advent of regenerative Medicine a new dimension of health care is evolving with immense opportunity and hope for complex problems like wounds. We through this study designed, developed and pilot tested a novel concept of “Regenerative Care” through Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as the mono therapy. This is through the New protocol developed by the author – Sandeep’s Technique for Assisted Regeneration of Skin; STARS therapy, based on triggering and assisting the skin regenerations in wounds from the skin margins.
Methods: This is a prospective clinical study developing and testing the concept of “Regenerative Care” in wound management. At our Centre, we have developed and standardized PRP Intervention through “STARS therapy (Sandeep’s technique for assisted regeneration of skin) for wound management”. In this study, we present the results in 350 consecutive wounds, between 2011 to 2019. It includes all types wounds - acute wounds associated with massive tissue losses, infections, necrosis and chronic non-healing including diabetic ulcers, bed sores.
Results: The results reveal a complete healing (97.4%) with filling up of defects; excellent control of infection (98%), and good pain control (82% less than 3/10 VAS). The average healing rate was 1.2mm /day. There were no major complications / adverse events observed. Reversal and revival of necrosis and devitalized tissues such as skins, tendons, muscles and bones was achieved towards very effective clinical outcome.
Conclusions: A new dimension of health care for wound management is evolved. This Regenerative Care is propagated through a mono therapy with PRP ; assisting the skin regenerations in wounds through “STARS therapy”. A Game Changer solution is built for wound management based on 21st Century advances. | <urn:uuid:e8f1296e-8328-411e-b3f8-ca340bb61804> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://magnusconferences.com/tissue-engineering/program/scientific-program/2020/designing-developing-the-next-generation-wound-management-stars-therapy | 2023-09-28T16:48:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.952268 | 419 |
Before you travel it’s good to know the culture of the countries on your itinerary. Countries around the globe develop their own way of life, eating habits, entertainment, and even gestures. A gesture that may be perfectly acceptable in the US or the UK, maybe deeply offensive in another country–and the last thing you want to do while abroad is offend your hosts.
This infographic is both helpful and amusing. It shares some of the gestures that could get you into some awkward situations while travelling the world. Some of the gestures are pugilistic and may get you into a fight, others may even get you arrested. The chart shows gestures that many of us use in our daily interactions. Thumbs up and okay signs seem pretty tame, right? Wrong. They are downright rude in some countries.
Given that you probably don’t speak the language of the country in which you plan to travel you may be tempted to use gestures instead. Hand gestures form an essential part of communication. They also form an essential part of our body language so your intentions may be misinterpreted.
Beware, the seemingly universal gestures of nodding or shaking your head, have the complete opposite meaning in Greece and Bulgaria. So, unless you’ve done your homework you may end up agreeing to something you’d rather not do.
Make learning the culture of the countries you plan to visit part of your holiday planning schedule and you could save yourself a whole lot of embarrassment in your host country.

Wow! I cannot believe February is almost over! Even though I felt like I literally just talked about my January Favorites, I managed to throw together five of my most-used beauty products from this past month, so I hope you find this helpful!
- Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Leather 24 Hour in “Creamy Beige”: I was watching one of MakeupByTiffanyD’s videos a few weeks ago when I saw her use this cream eyeshadow and remembered I had the same one. I really like how doing something as simple as adding a matte beige to the crease creates so much dimension. These products are really fun, easy, and last forever and I like that they look like you put in a lot more effort than you actually did.
- NYX Powder Blush in “Mocha”: This is a wonderful matte mid-tone pink blush (it looks a lot more rosy and less red in real life) that I have been loving to liven up my face before school. It blends like a dream and is such a reasonable price.
- Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer: I’ve had this little bronzer ever since I bought the Benefit Bronze of Champions value set and even though I depotted it (and put a few dents in it during that process), I never really used it until recently when I put it in my new Z-Palette. Now, I can finally appreciate why everyone loves it so much. It’s the perfect undertone so I can bronze my entire face while still being able to contour under my cheekbones. It also makes a great eyeshadow for blending out the crease. Definitely a February fave!
- Laneige Water Sleeping Mask: I received several samples of this moisturizer in some beauty magazines and immediately fell in love with it. As far as I know, the only place you can buy it is at Target, so as I soon as I run out of my last sample (which lasts forever), I will be buying the full size for around $25. It’s effective enough to use before bed, but feels light enough to use in the morning and it completely rejuvenates my dry skin and even my sensitive under eye area. It smells really nice, feels even better, and I am so excited that I finally found a replacement for my beloved Olay Fresh Effect Long Live Satin Moisturizer!
- L’Oreal Paris Linear Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner: This was one of the first eyeliners I ever bought and even though I ran out of the actual eyeliner over a year ago, I still love it because of the felt tip applicator. When I first tried this, I hated it because it was a little overly priced considering the product ran out very fast and instead of being completely matte black like I prefer, it has an almost shiny finish. So even though I would not repurchase this for the actual eyeliner, I will continue to use the brush to apply my favorite Almay liquid liner since its amazing quality felt tip makes creating the perfect line so much easier!

Some plotting options only allow view option. Is there another way to specify axes ranges?
In a BubblePlot, I want to display only a portion of the graph. view works fine for single graphs no problem, but when I combine it in display with multiple graphs I don't want the unviewed portions in Bubbleplot re-appearing.
a := BubblePlot([4, 5, 2, 3], [1, 2, 7, 8], [8, 1, 3, 2],view=[default,4..9])
Now, a, plots the full set of data so when view is used again in display the unviewed portions in a are re-displayed which I don't want.
I could just remove the unwanted data, but is there a way I can do it at the plot level?
having x= and y= options in the BubblePlot would work great here but they appear not to be an option. | <urn:uuid:d3a37bba-cd86-4940-a9aa-a4a59dc73def> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mapleprimes.com/questions/142352-BubblePlot-Plotting-View | 2023-09-28T18:23:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.878757 | 222 |

Are You Getting Rid Of Bad Apples?
Hi Business Owner,
My name is Bob Britton, a fellow small business owner and President of Marketing Automation Group
There is a very well, well known business theory called the 80/20 theory. What this theory says is that 80% of your business comes from 20% of your clients. Another little side kick to this theory is that 80% of your problems come from 20% of your clients. Hopefully that’s not the same 20%.
Seriously, clients who are problems all the time should be fired. That’s right- Fire your bad clients.
“What do you mean? You are saying to fire bad clients, but you keep preaching about client service and client satisfaction.”
We truly believe in excellent client service but only to good clients.
If a client is not satisfied with anything and always complains, she isn’t worth the headache- no matter how much business she does with you.
Long ago, we decided we wouldn’t give superior service to the bad apples. Bad apples can ruin the whole lot for you. They aren’t worth it. If we feel we’ve done more than what is expected and have done a great job, even bent over backwards to right a wrong, and someone still complains- just fire them. We’ll even give them their money back just to get rid of them. If you don’t, these bad apples have very big mouths.

Imagine a strategy that could revolutionize your business by targeting your marketing efforts for exponential growth. This sounds pretty amazing, right? Well, this isn't something from a fairy tale, it's called growth hacking. This technique is not just for start-ups, but ideal for any business looking to optimize their strategy, make use of digital technology, and turbocharge their growth. In this article, you'll learn about the ins and outs of growth hacking: its definition, purpose, and critical methods to implement it successfully in your business. So buckle up and prepare for a journey into a world where growth knows no bounds!
What is Growth Hacking?
So, let's get straight into it. What exactly is growth hacking? Imagine if there was a way to rocket-boost your business growth using creative, cost-effective strategies – that's what growth hacking is all about. Originating in the startup world that needed rapid growth on a shoestring budget, this concept has now spread its wings much wider. It represents the convergence of marketing, data, and technology, underpinned by an unwavering focus on growth.
A Definition of Growth Hacking
To define growth hacking in simple terms, it refers to using unconventional tactics to achieve exponential growth. A growth hacker isn't just a marketer, they go beyond traditional marketing boundaries. They're more of a hybrid of marketer and coder, using a combination of creativity, analytical thinking, and social metrics to sell products and gain exposure.
Evolution of Growth Hacking
Back in the day, growing a business was all about the slow and steady long haul. Then along came the tech startups in the fast-paced Silicon Valley scene, where competitors were cropping up every day and investors were looking for speedy growth. To survive, they had to think differently and growth hacking was born.
Initially, these tactics were niche; unique strategies tailored to individual business needs. But soon people began to realize that this approach could be more broadly applicable, and the term ‘growth hacking' was coined in 2010 by Sean Ellis. Since then, it has evolved into a crucial part of any company's toolkit, regardless of industry.
The Purpose of Growth Hacking
The main purpose of growth hacking is in its name – growth. Its primary goal isn't brand building or even prolonged customer relationships. It's all about rapid, scalable growth. So, whether that's about gaining millions of users for your new app, growing your email list by thousands every week, or skyrocketing your product sales, growth hacking is there to help.
Key Characteristics of Growth Hacking
Now that we've covered what growth hacking is, let's delve into its key characteristics. Firstly, growth hacking tactics are usually non-traditional and innovative. They dare to break the status quo and explore radical routes to success. Secondly, they're inherently frugal, designed to maximize results without busting the budget. Lastly, and most importantly, they're always testing, measuring, and iterating; it's all about the data.
Growth Hacking vs. Traditional Marketing
Comparing growth hacking to traditional marketing is like comparing apples to oranges. While traditional marketing uses established practices to achieve steady, incremental growth, growth hacking is radioactively creative, shooting for the stars. Traditional marketing may consider a wide range of factors, from brand awareness to customer satisfaction, while growth hacking focuses doggedly on growth. It's not about replacing one with the other, but understanding when and how to use their unique strengths.
Successful Growth Hacking Examples
You've probably encountered the results of growth hacking without even realizing it. When Hotmail added “Get your free email at Hotmail” to every sent email, exponentially expanding their user base? That was growth hacking. When Dropbox gave extra storage space to users who referred their friends, doubling their user base overnight? Classic growth hacking.
The Role of Data in Growth Hacking
Data is the beating heart of growth hacking. It's all about setting ambitious goals, concocting creative strategies, implementing them, and then rigorously testing and tweaking based on the data. This feedback loop allows growth hackers to refine their methods for maximum growth. If you're not measuring, you're not growth hacking.
Tools and Techniques Used in Growth Hacking
There are various tools and techniques up a growth hacker’s sleeve. From employing SEO and content marketing to woo organic traffic to using A/B testing for optimizing landing pages. Exploring viral tactics, leveraging social media, or using application programming interfaces (APIs) to build on existing platforms are some of the other techniques. Tools like Google Analytics, Buzzsumo, or MailChimp might be favorites in the growth hacker toolbox.
The Growth Hacking Process
The growth hacking process can be broken down into a cycle of five steps. Start with forming your growth hypothesis (what will cause growth?), then prioritize it based on expected impact and resources required. Implement the winning strategy and analyze the data: did it work as expected? If not, why not? Learn from your results to inform your next hypothesis and the cycle continues.
Challenges and Potential Risks of Growth Hacking
Despite its undeniable potential, growth hacking isn't without its challenges and risks. It’s often a case of trial and error which requires resilience. You may face the risk of turning off potential customers through aggressive strategies. Rapid growth can also lead to scaling issues and stress on resources. Therefore, balance is key between rapid growth and stable, sustainable business development.
So, there you have it. The world of growth hacking in a nutshell. It's not a magic bullet but a creative, data-driven approach to growth. And in a fast-paced, competitive business world, it might just be your secret weapon. But make sure to use it wisely, with an understanding of both its power and potential pitfalls. | <urn:uuid:f3179f02-be38-4eeb-9f85-ff8c67e33c8e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://martinebongue.com/what-is-growth-hacking/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.948653 | 1,200 |

The emerging area of network science and engineering is concerned with the study of structural characteristics of networks, their impact on the dynamical behavior of systems as revealed through their topological properties, random evolution of networks, and information spreading along a network etc. This area spans a wide range of applications in different disciplines. A topic of great interest in this area is the notion of network criticality. Most measures of network criticality are defined by the paths that flow through the nodes or edges. Since computing all the paths is computationally intractable only shortest paths are usually used for computing criticality metrics. So, measures that implicitly capture the impact of all the paths will be useful. The recently introduced concepts of resistance distance and Kirchhoff Index are two such measures. These measures capture the behavior of random walks in net works. In this talk, we introduce these metrics and present several results that extend, generalize, and unify earlier works reported in the literature. In particular we define the notion of cutset Laplacian matrix which generalizes the notion of treditional Laplacian matrix. and study resistance distance and Kitchhoff Index using. this new matrix. We also relate our works to Foster’s theorems that find wide applications (Chemical Graph theory and computer science), and present a generalization that captures and retains the circuit theoretic elegance of Foster' original result. | <urn:uuid:6e87aad7-d5c2-412e-86e7-f9e0c2f366ec> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://math.iitm.ac.in/event/view/138 | 2023-09-28T18:45:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.931049 | 282 |
