Body Conditioning in Okinawan Martial Arts.
Okinawan martial arts are renowned for their comprehensive approach to training, which encompasses not only technique and strategy but also physical conditioning. A crucial aspect of this conditioning is the practice of “kitae,” a term that refers to specific exercises aimed at strengthening and toughening different parts of the body. In styles like Uechi-ryu, Goju-ryu and Shorin-ryu, practitioners engage in various forms of “kitae” to prepare their bodies for effective martial arts techniques and to cultivate resilience and discipline.
The Four Types of “Kitae”.
In Okinawan Karate, practitioners delve into the practice of four distinct “kitae” exercises, each targeting a specific area of the body:
Kote Kitae – Forearm Conditioning.
“Kote” translates to “forearm” in Japanese. In “Kote Kitae,” practitioners engage in exercises designed to toughen the forearms, enhancing their ability to withstand strikes, blocks, and parries. These conditioning drills not only strengthen the muscles but also harden the bones, creating a foundation for effective hand-to-hand combat techniques.
Hara Kitae – Abdomen Conditioning.
“Hara” refers to the abdomen, the core of the body. Through “Hara Kitae,” martial artists engage in exercises that target the core muscles, developing a resilient midsection capable of absorbing impacts. This conditioning not only provides physical strength but also cultivates mental fortitude, preparing practitioners to face challenges head-on.
Ashi Kitae – Leg Conditioning.
“Ashi” signifies the legs, a vital component of martial arts movements. “Ashi Kitae” involves exercises that enhance the strength, flexibility, and endurance of the legs. This conditioning is crucial for maintaining stable stances, executing powerful kicks, and swiftly manoeuvring during combat scenarios.
Sune Kitae – Shin Conditioning.
“Sune” refers to the shins, an often overlooked but essential part of combat training. In “Sune Kitae,” practitioners condition their shins to become more resilient to impact. This conditioning is especially valuable for those who employ kicking techniques, reducing the risk of injury during high-impact kicks.
Importance and Benefits of “Kitae”.
The practice of “kitae” serves several significant purposes within Okinawan martial arts:
“Kitae” exercises build physical resilience, making the body more capable of withstanding the demands of combat. The strengthened muscles, bones, and core contribute to effective defence and offence techniques.
Engaging in intense conditioning fosters mental discipline and determination. Practitioners learn to push through discomfort, enhancing their mental toughness in both training and real-world situations.
Well-conditioned body parts enable practitioners to execute techniques with greater precision, power, and control. The foundation of strength allows for the mastery of martial arts techniques.
Conditioning minimizes the risk of injuries. Strengthened forearms, abdomen, legs, and shins reduce the likelihood of damage during high-impact movements.
How to exercise.
Presented below is a selection of fundamental drills, providing a foundation for various adaptations of “Kitae.”
Forearm Conditioning – Simultaneous Gedan-Barai Drill:
- Simultaneously, both partners perform gedan-barai (downward block) towards each other’s forearms, with the aim of making controlled contact.
- Both parties gently absorb the impact of the blocks.
Purpose: This exercise strengthens the forearm muscles and bones, enhancing their ability to block effectively. It also emphasizes correct gedan-barai technique, helping practitioners refine their form and timing.
Safety: Maintain controlled force throughout the exercise and maintain clear communication with your partner. Gradually increase the intensity as both participants become more comfortable with the blocks.
Note: The same procedure can be applied with Soto-uke and Ushi-uke.
Leg Conditioning – Alternate Execution of Kicks:
- Alternate kicking the inside (or outside) of the thigh.
- The person being kicked gently absorbs the impact using their leg muscles.
- Focus on engaging leg muscles to handle the impact.
Purpose: This exercise conditions the inner (or outer) thigh muscles. By focusing on absorbing impact, participants develop stronger leg muscles and improve kick accuracy.
Safety: Maintain controlled force throughout the exercise and communicate clearly with your partner. Gradually increase the intensity as both participants become more comfortable with the kicks.
Note: The same procedure can be applied with the shin (sune).
Hara Kitae – Controlled Abdomen Strikes:
- Stand facing each other, maintaining a steady stance.
- One person delivers controlled strikes (tsuki) to the abdomen of the other person.
- The recipient focuses on maintaining stability and gently absorbing the strikes using their core muscles.
Purpose: This exercise conditions the abdominal muscles for impact absorption and strengthening. It enhances the practitioner’s ability to stay composed and relaxed while being struck.
Safety: Maintain controlled force and communicate clearly with your partner. Start with light strikes and gradually increase intensity as both participants become more comfortable.
Note: This exercise can be practised using various striking techniques, such as open-palm strikes or closed-fist punches.
Watch the video for some visual examples of body conditioning with or without a partner.
The incorporation of “Kitae” practices in Okinawan martial arts training, exemplified by styles like Uechi-ryu, Goju-ryu and Shorin-ryu, underscores the comprehensive approach these disciplines take toward physical and mental development. By targeting specific areas of the body through the forearm, abdomen, leg, and shin conditioning, practitioners not only enhance their combat capabilities but also cultivate the discipline and resilience that define a true martial artist. These practices stand as a testament to the depth and sophistication of traditional martial arts, emphasizing the importance of a well-conditioned body in achieving martial mastery.

|Wesley Taylor: Co-creator and star...|
Warning: There are some plot spoilers ahead.
Created by and starring former Rock of Ages castmates Wesley Taylor and Mitchell Jarvis, the series tells the story of struggling New York actor Jacob Gordon (Taylor) and his messed up life. Of course, most of it is his own doing, and the rest is just shitty (in one case, literally) bad luck. The guy is flawed - he's a drug-taking party boy who sleeps around, and a self-saboteur, plus he's conflicted about love, unable to find satisfying work and his family is falling apart. And he surrounds himself with enablers: a sex-crazed mother who doesn't listen (the riotous Nancy Opel), a hypochondriac boyfriend (the very funny Gideon Glick), and a self-involved, grieving therapist (the terrific Audra McDonald). It could be worse. And it gets there.
This is and isn't your typical "Broadway-themed" webseries. It's "insidery," but in a background kind of way. You don't need to be in the business to understand a second of it, but recognizing your favorite Broadway actors is fun, especially since they aren't playing themselves or parodies of themselves. So far, in the first three episodes, there have been cameos and bit parts played by Laura Benanti, Adam Chanler-Berat, Meghann Fahy, Lauren Molina, Justin Sargent, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Andrew Durand, John Jellison, Ephraim Sykes and Kyle Dean Massey among others. Taylor and Jarvis have a lot of friends, it seems, and the show is all the better for it.
Aside from star-gazing, the show also has some moments anyone can relate to. Who hasn't had an embarrassing job interview? Who hasn't had a clingy lover that you just can't dump? Who hasn't been uncomfortable when you realize your parents are as sexual as you are? Who hasn't been ambushed by a long ago friend who is more successful than you are, forcing you to lie about your successes? And there are some great "New York" moments: coming up out of the subway into Times Square, tourists bug-eyed, natives bored and unimpressed; those annoying tour bus guys shoving pamphlets at you; the aggressive Fosse-ized Chicago shills with the bowler hats and red tights... And the sights that'll make Broadway fans mutter, "I've been there!" like Shubert Alley, Angus McIndoe, the Playwright's Tavern, that alley next to the parking garage across from Once...

There are three things that make this show work, when it comes right down to it. First, the production values are superb - cinema quality, really. The sound is amazing, especially considering the locations where they film, and the camera work, including some really spiffy montages, is first-rate. Second, the writing is smart, and character-driven. Even the schizophrenic tone - part frat boy party film, part Book of Mormon-style gross-out, part social commentary - matches the situation and the main character to a "T." And third, and probably in the long run, most importantly, the lead actor, Wesley Taylor, is compelling to watch, completely relatable and also very cute. I bring that up, though, not as a sly comment about him (he does look amazing in his underwear, too), but because he is cute in a way that makes you route for him and makes you frustrated with his character. "Jacob" uses cute to avoid problems, soothe his angst with sex, and to charm everyone. Cute has bought him a trip to the doctor - he has the clap. But he doesn't have herpes! See? It could be worse.

WEEKS 3 – 7
EXPLAINING THE JOEL 2 LIFESTYLE
Are we living in extreme and unprecedented times of crisis? Does the Bible tell us what to do in such times? Does God have an answer? What is God’s answer?
God gives us a clear answer in the Book of Joel about what is required in such a time as this – the Joel 2 Lifestyle. It is living a life of wholehearted love for God that is expressed through a lifestyle of fasting, prayer, and regular prayer assemblies. More than anything, God wants all of our hearts. He wants the Church to return to wholeheartedness.
As we cultivate this lifestyle of fasting, prayer, and regular gatherings with other believers to seek His face, we will acquaint ourselves with God and learn to hear and agree with what is on His heart. Through living out the Joel 2 Lifestyle, we will become a Church that is intimate with God and firmly rooted and established in Him, unshakeable in crises and storms.
There is only one solution. There is no other way. May we as a Church, walk worthy of Him and live out the Joel 2 Lifestyle of wholeheartedness expressed through fasting and prayer. | <urn:uuid:d51f504b-ba74-4599-a9ac-8230e0479c8b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.joel2lifestyle.com/wk3-7 | 2023-09-27T12:23:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.951953 | 253 |
The Year 6 children organised a multi-sports event for Years 1 to 5 on a very sunny afternoon. Each station was designed by a small team, who were then responsible for running the activity.
We instructed children on how to play different sports (e.g.. football, tennis and loads more!) The younger children persevered and tried things most of them had never done before. As for the older children, they did more advanced skills on the same activity.
Overall, it was a great afternoon!

In Term 4, two classes on LEGO WeDo2.0 have been arranged to satisfy the demand from parents. The program on Monday is aimed at K-Y1 students who have very limited prior experience on building LEGO. Compared to the robotics class on Tuesday for Y1-Y2, the models constructed in this class will have simpler structures and fewer building steps.
The LEGO Robotics and Coding Fusion Program on Thursday for Y3-Y5 students includes diversified robotics and coding projects on LEGO SPIKE Prime, LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and Scratch Video Game Programming. So the students could have opportunities to access different robotics equipment and programming apps to develop their knowledge and skills on robotics and coding. Based on the feedback from parents and students, we can plan the robotics programs for Y3+ for the new year.

Former Director of Government Affairs, John Locke Foundation
I write a lot about hospital consolidations and the monopoly problem in health care (See here, here, here, here, and here). It’s widely accepted that hospital system consolidation and physician acquisitions are a significant factor in rising health care costs. This phenomenon is highlighted in this morning’s Axios “Vitals” newsletter concerning NorthBay Healthcare in Calfornia:
NorthBay Healthcare, a not-for-profit hospital system in California, recently gave a candid look into how it operates, telling investors it has used its negotiating clout to extract “very lucrative contracts” from health insurance companies.
Details: NorthBay owns two hospitals and several clinics in California’s Solano County. Kaiser Permanente owns the only other full-service hospital in the county, and Sutter Health operates some medical offices. (A NorthBay spokesperson argued the system is “more akin to the David among two Goliaths.”)
Three health insurers have terminated their contracts with NorthBay over the past couple years. During a June 19 call with bondholders, executives explained why this has happened.
“We’ve been able to maintain very lucrative contracts without the competition. And what the payers are saying is, they would like us to be like 90% of the rest of the United States in terms of contract structure.”
— Jim Strong, interim CFO, NorthBay Healthcare
Between the lines: NorthBay’s revenue has increased by 50% over the past few years, from $400 million in 2013 to $600 million in 2018, due in large part to its natural monopoly and oligopoly over hospital services.
- This is exactly what we should expect to happen when sellers have the upper hand over buyers, economists say.
To me, this is a startling admission by NorthBay CFO. However, this is an unsurprising admission in a world where hospital monopolies dominate the health care landscape. Large hospital systems use their monopoly power to extract the highest possible reimbursements on procedures that they can from insurers. These contracts with insurers are sometimes filled with anti-competitive language that hurts patients in the long run.
Anti-trust enforcement is virtually the only power that state and federal government have to mitigate the concerning trend of hospital consolidations. However, there are federal and state level policies that foster the environment where hospital consolidations are feasible and lucrative enough for health care sector entities to further them.
That’s why, we at the John Locke Foundation, are strong supporters for North Carolina to repeal its Certificate of Need laws. These laws breed medical monopolies by nature, and we see the negative effects on patients when their only choice in a market is a large hospital system. Stopping or slowing consolidations and acquisitions will be difficult. The easier way to fix this is to correct anti-competitive laws that allow market incumbents to use their power to dictate prices. That directly translates to higher insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for employees and families. Health care markets will work a lot better if we let them operate more freely. | <urn:uuid:ffba390e-1857-4079-83fb-e2a84dc72ff5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.johnlocke.org/the-reality-of-hospital-system-monopolies/ | 2023-09-27T11:58:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.952363 | 646 |
What Is Lenticular Printing?
Lenticular is a printing method that adds dimension and/or motion to images which are normally static and flat. The “magic” is actually an optical illusion. By covering images with plastic sheets of tiny lenses, printers allow the eye to view alternating sections of multiple images simultaneously. This creates a sense of dimension, motion, or sometimes both.
You don’t need any special equipment to view lenticular printing and experience the effects. Printers can adapt the effects for a wide variety of different installations and uses. Let’s explore what they are, how they work, and whether they would be a good fit for your brand:
How Lenticular Printing Works
Lenticular printing requires two main components:
- Printed images
- The lenses (or lenticules)
Every lenticular image is a composite of two or more graphics that are interlaced together. Printers specially prepare each graphic to create the desired effect.
Lens sizes range from about 40 lines per inch all the way to 150 lines per inch. Each lens acts as a magnifying glass, revealing only portions of an interlaced image at a time.
The composite is printed to match the lens pattern. There are several considerations for experienced printers to think about here – everything from the resolution and desired effect, to the optimum viewing difference for the final product.
Types of Lenticular Printing
There are two major types of lenticular effects: animation and 3D.
Animated effects play image frames like a motion picture projector would. These short clips can be comprised of computer-generated animation, videos, time-lapse photography, or even motion picture films. Popular animated effects include:
- Makes visual elements appear to jump out toward the viewer, so it’s great for focusing their attention on your logo or a featured product.
- Turns visual elements on and off so that one image can completely change into another. Picture a “before and after” shot.
- Instead of turning an image on or off, morph allows you to transform between the two dynamically. Which is recommended if you’re trying to get consumers to compare a new product, logo, etc. with a previous version.
3D effects create an illusion of depth. By positioning visual elements on different spatial planes, it appears that some are behind or in front of the others.
You’ll often see combinations of lenticular effects within the same product, like flip/3D or motion/3D. However, it takes meticulous planning and execution to pull this off.
How to Use It: Common Applications
One of lenticular printing’s greatest strengths lies in its versatility. Here are some of the most popular applications you’ll see today:
Engage Your Audience Like Never Before
Lenticular printing will help you engage viewers like never before. These effects aren’t just eye-catching. They also drive people to pick up packaging, to play with it and experience the effects up close.
It takes a lot of precision to pull this off, both in the concept and execution. Lenticular experts must account for the desired visual effect, optimal viewing distance, font styles and type sizes, which way to overlay the lenses, and a whole lot more.
Trust your lenticular printing needs to the right partner. With over 20 years of experience producing lenticular and plastics, JohnsByrne has the creative vision to develop the effect you want and the technology to bring it to life. Check out our extensive work gallery here.

Chinese Proverbs (諺語, yànyŭ)
This is an ancient Chinese fable that tells the story of a good man who lived in a distant village and was well respected by all his neighbours.
The man was a farmer and had been brought up in a loving family with excellent manners.
One day, a beautiful horse came to his farm. The animal had a shiny white coat and a fantastic musculature. The horse began to graze and stayed to live on the good man's farm.
Everyone said to the man, "What good fortune you have had". But the good man replied: "Maybe". And then he added: "What seems like a blessing is sometimes a curse".
How could he not think it was a blessing that an extraordinary horse had come to his farm all by itself?
Winter came. One morning the farmer woke up very early and saw that the stable door was wide open. He approached the place and noticed that the magnificent horse was no longer there. He had run away.
Soon the neighbours heard the news. "We are very sorry," they told him. The man, however, remained completely serene. Then he told them they had nothing to worry about. He added: "What seems like a curse is sometimes a blessing". The people thought he was crazy.
One afternoon, the farmer was working on his fields when suddenly he heard a loud noise.
The man looked into the distance and could make out the figure of the lost horse. However, the wonderful animal was not alone. Behind him were 20 other horses. The farmer was surprised. They were all beautiful specimens and were on their way home.
The animals stayed on the farm and the law then allowed them to be his property. The neighbours could not believe it. They congratulated him on his new acquisition. As at other times, the man only replied: "What seems like a blessing is sometimes a curse".
It was already early autumn when the farmer's son set out to tame the most difficult of all horses. Although the young man was prepared, the horse threw him and thus broke one of his legs. The neighbours said to the farmer. "What bad luck you have had! As usual, he replied: "What seems like a curse is sometimes a blessing".
Only a week later war broke out. The emperor had all the young men in the village conscripted. The only one who was spared was the farmer's son, as he was convalescing due to his broken leg. Only then did the people understand the farmer's great wisdom.
Since then, this Chinese fable has been told from generation to generation, so that no one forgets that nothing is good or bad in itself. | <urn:uuid:21aff072-d3da-4796-be25-e5fa0d4ed7e7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jordicasado.com/post/everything-is-relative-yin-yang | 2023-09-27T10:58:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.994952 | 561 |

(JTA) — A Jewish family in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has faced backlash after being blamed for causing a local elementary school to cancel its annual production of “A Christmas Carol.”
The family has declined to have its name published. But Rabbi Jack Paskoff of Congregation Shaarai Shomayim, who has spoken with the family, confirmed to JTA on Thursday that the family was falsely accused of pushing Centerville Elementary School to scrap the play.
Right-wing news outlets Fox News and Breitbart News claimed that the cancellation took place partly because of objections to the play’s religious content. Commenters on the Breitbart article said they would want to seek out the home address of the family or families involved in the cancellation, while another commenter wrote, “Why don’t the HUNDREDS tell the two to get the f’out, never come back, and not to ever sign up for a play again?”
Lancaster Online, a local publication, reported that the family’s son, who attends the school, has been harassed by classmates since the play was canceled. The story said the family “headed out of the area for a bit” but hoped to be able to keep their fifth-grader in the school.
The regional director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Philadelphia office, Nancy Baron-Baer, told JTA that the family was not fleeing their home, and had in fact gone on a pre-planned vacation.
Both the family and the school say the accusations against the family are not true. According to Paskoff and reports in the Lancaster media, the family asked only that its son not be required to participate in the play, which the school said has been a tradition at the school for decades.
A Dec. 15 letter from Centerville’s principal, Tom Kramer, states that the production was canceled because it took some 20 hours of instructional time that had to be devoted to other subjects. He called the rumor that one or two families forced the cancellation “just not true.”
A further clarification from the school, published Wednesday, said the decision “had nothing to do with a religious concern” and “was not influenced by parents.”
“The family, most importantly, did not ask for the school to cancel the show,” Paskoff told JTA. “It was distorted. The facts were not researched or presented. It has created a very potent situation.”
Paskoff, who leads a Reform congregation, said the southeastern Pennsylvania city of 60,000 is politically and religiously conservative, with a small Jewish community living among largely Christian neighbors. While many residents may be unaware of Jewish holidays and traditions, Paskoff said incidents of outright anti-Semitism are rare.
“By virtue of being a minority, we do deal with a fair bit of ignorance, and the assumption that the entire population is Christian and therefore there’s not always awareness of minority religious symbols,” he said.
“That this emerged as it did in our community, I think, is fairly typical of the way things have been here. When we take time to educate people here, they tend to respond very appropriately.”
Paskoff blamed the incident on what he called irresponsible reporting by the local and national media.
“Fox News and Breitbart chose to pick up this story out of a very small school district in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” Paskoff said. “That’s where I feel that the national climate is playing a role.” | <urn:uuid:4ec3577b-3d39-4fb8-8db4-373606ba63fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jta.org/2016/12/22/united-states/jewish-family-leaves-pennsylvania-city-after-being-blamed-for-christmas-play-cancellation | 2023-09-27T12:45:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.97726 | 751 |
The ‘Christ Hymn’ as a challenge to the imperial cult?
There have been various suggestions regarding the background and influences upon this famous passage, sometimes known as the ‘Christ Hymn,’ which is possibly pre-Pauline (for the arguments for and against, see John Reumann, Philippians, p. 362-363), and expresses some of the most important early-Christian Christological assertions. Central is the claim that though Jesus was born in the likeness of a human being, he truly existed in the form of God, and because of his humility and willingness to die was awarded great glory by God, and would thereafter be worshipped by the entire cosmos. Some have seen potential influences from wisdom traditions, where the notion of a soul’s descent from and re-ascent to glory are common, and noted parallels with Jesus as a heavenly being who comes down to earth (see, for example, Jerome Murphy-O’Connor, “Christological Anthropology”). Others look to the Adam myth, where the first man, initially perfect, is created in God’s likeness, contrasting Adam’s greed with Jesus’s humility, Adam’s disobedience with Jesus’s obedience, and Adam’s condemnation with Jesus’s exaltation. The suffering servant motif of Isaiah 52-53 has also been understood as lying behind the text, where the servant figure dies and is subsequently exalted (for these latter two suggestions see R. P. Martin, Carmen Christi, on Adam and Christ esp. p. 163-164, and on the suffering servant p. 51-52, 147-148, 182-190, and 211-213). It has also been suggested that Isaiah 45, in which God promises that his chosen (Israel) will receive wealth, slaves, and will be bowed to might also lie behind the text. However, Isaiah 45:23 states that every knee will bow and every tongue will swear by God only, meaning that the rigid monotheism of the Hebrew Bible is relaxed slightly by the early-Christian writer/s of this text in order to give Jesus more glory (for this view, see David Seeley, “The Background of the Philippians Hymn”). For a concise survey of interpretation of the passage, see John Reumann, Philippians, p. 333-339.
Regardless of possibly earlier literary influence, however, in the context of the letter to the Philippians, suggestions have been made that Paul’s use of the text would have evoked Greco-Roman ruler worship. Dieter Georgi, for example (Theocracy in Paul’s Praxis and Theology, p. 73), argues that in the first-century socio-political context of the Philippian church, the text can be understood to be directly in competition with the imperial cult. This argument has since been taken up by David Seeley (“The Background of the Philippians Hymn”), who argues that the text appropriates some of the key claims made about the Roman emperor; particularly worldwide dominion and a claim to divinity. By this point in the first century, the early Christians were beginning to understand themselves as part of a godly kingdom which existed in opposition to all other kingdoms, and Christian authors took pains to explain the precise nature of this conflict (see, for instance, 1 Corinthians 15:24; Mark 11:10; 13:8; 14:25, which each envisage the demise of earthly rulerships and look forward to the coming kingdom of God). Israel’s claim as God’s chosen people gradually came to be overtaken by the emerging church, who saw themselves as the ‘new Israel’ and the inheritors of all that God promised to it (Paul’s writings are particularly pertinent in this regard; see for example 2 Corinthians 3:4-11). This sort of ideology, then, could feasibly lead early Christians to understand Christ as being an outright challenge to the emperor – the representation of the most powerful earthly dominion known to them. The language of the text might not only have felt perfectly familiar to an audience acquainted with the idea of human leaders (i.e. Roman emperors) becoming divine and worthy of worship, but may also have been understood by them as a clear undermining of the emperor’s significance in relation to Christ.
The notion of Jesus as somehow pre-existent, being divine in true form but sent to earth in human likeness can be compared to the idea in Horace, Odes I.2.41-46, where Augustus is understood as a divine being sent to earth in human form to aid the struggling world and avenge Caesar’s murder. Ovid, Ex Ponto II.8.1-16 also discusses the idea of the living emperor as a divine figure which one can pray to (through the medium of a statue), and the apotheosis of Julius Caesar (not an emperor of course, but still a ruler) is described at length in the Metamorphoses XV.745-759; 803-851. An extreme example of an emperor who went to great lengths to present himself as divine is Caligula (reigned from 37-41 CE), who is described by Josephus, Jewish Antiquities XVIII.8 as offending the Jews with this obsession, and is mocked by Philo, On the Embassy to Gaius 93-114, for his frequent dressing up as gods, whom Philo argues cannot be imitated. Suetonius, Caligula 22.3-4 also tells us that Caligula removed the heads of statues of gods and replaced them with his own likeness instead, and had a temple dedicated to his own divinity, where a golden statue would be dressed daily in whatever he was wearing himself. The notion of the emperor as divine, therefore, would have been something well known to Paul’s Philippian audience. When it comes to rulership, Jesus’s superiority can be detected in comparison to the emperor when one considers texts such as Ovid’s Metamorphoses XV.858-860 and Virgil’s Georgics I.24-42, where Augustus’s power is described as great, yet is limited to the earth while he is alive (for Virgil, he will gain power in the heavens only after his deification; indeed, Augustus and many emperors who followed him did not want to be worshipped as gods while alive) – only Jupiter has dominion over the heavens. Jesus, on the other hand, is described as being given lordship over the earth, the heavens, and everything under the earth.
While Paul’s intention in including the ‘Christ Hymn’ was not necessarily to make a strong political statement against Roman authority (indeed, elsewhere he urges his Roman Christian audience not to oppose Roman rule, and understands it as a tool of God; see Romans 13:1-7), it is hard to imagine that the common ideology and imagery between the portrayal of Christ and the emperor would have been missed. Whatever the original influences on and intentions of the author/s of the text, for a Christian community who saw themselves as belonging to a much greater kingdom than the Roman empire (see Philippians 3:18-21), it is more than possible that this presentation of Christ would have on one level evoked the imperial cult.

**Building Business Cases for Technology Investments in JLBC Cadet Corps**
JLBC Cadet Corps, like many other organizations, has experienced the rapid evolution of technology. With this evolution comes the need to justify investments in new technologies. Building a robust business case is pivotal to ensure that the technology acquired aligns with the organization’s objectives and yields significant returns on Investment.
### IT-Business Alignment:
**1. Understanding the Objective:**
Before delving into the details of new technology, it's essential to understand the objective behind the JLBC Cadet Corps' operation. Does the technology enhance training procedures, streamline processes, or provide better analytics?
**2. Engage Stakeholders Early:**
Get input from both IT and business stakeholders from the outset. This ensures that the technology serves the needs of both camps, promoting smoother implementation and higher chances of adoption.
**3. Continuous Monitoring:**
Alignment isn’t a one-time event. As business needs evolve, so do technological requirements. Regular check-ins between IT and business stakeholders ensure that technology remains aligned with objectives.
### Building the Business Case:
**1. Identify Needs and Benefits:**
What gaps or inefficiencies exist currently? How can the technology address these? Lay out the anticipated benefits: time savings, cost reductions, or enhanced capabilities.
**2. Quantify the Investment:**
Beyond the upfront costs of acquisition, consider ongoing maintenance, training, and potential disruptions during the implementation phase.
**3. Project the Returns:**
This could be in the form of cost savings, time efficiencies, or other quantifiable benefits. Ensure that the returns are tangible and measurable.
**4. Consider Risks:**
Every technology investment comes with its set of risks. What if the technology doesn’t deliver as expected? Or what if there are unforeseen maintenance issues? Highlight these risks and devise mitigation strategies.
### Selecting and Managing Technology Outsourcing:
**1. Define Clear Objectives:**
Before outsourcing, be clear about what you hope to achieve. Whether it's cost savings, expertise, or scalability, having clear objectives will guide the selection process.
**2. Choose the Right Partner:**
Research potential outsourcing partners. Look for a track record in delivering quality services, especially in the specific domain you're interested in.
**3. Establish Communication Protocols:**
Effective communication is the cornerstone of successful outsourcing. Determine how often you'll check-in, the platforms you'll use, and how you'll handle any issues.
**4. Monitor Performance:**
Regularly assess the performance of the outsourcing partner. Ensure they meet their deliverables and align with the JLBC Cadet Corps’ goals.
Technology investments are crucial for the JLBC Cadet Corps' evolution and growth. By aligning IT goals with business objectives, building a robust business case, and effectively managing technology outsourcing, the JLBC Cadet Corps can ensure they maximize the value of their technology investments. | <urn:uuid:19702e25-0cf3-4869-8dc2-3c97c8ea36ba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.juniorleadership.net/post/building-business-cases-for-technology-investments-in-jlbc-cadet-corps | 2023-09-27T12:13:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.900098 | 646 |
This year could be the year of CarPlay, a couple of weeks ago we informed you about the implementation of CarPlay in two BMW models to be presented in 2017. But this year the operating system will already be available in other cars from different companies.
CarPlay operation will allow drivers (and co-drivers) to use the iPhone and Siri voice commands to activate CarPlay functions to send messages, make calls, view maps, and even listen to music and audiobooks.
Two years ago, Cydia introduced a tweak called CarPlay iOS, which allowed to emulate the CarPlay experience on your iPhone and iPad . Today, the tweak has been updated to version 2.0 and is now available for download at the iOS 9 Jailbreak.
With the CarPlay interface on your iPhone (or iPad), you can access the applications and features you’d normally find in your car with a CarPlay system.
If you activate CarPlay iOS , only the applications that you need to see or access while driving will appear on your interface. These are the available apps:
- Playing Now
The developer has tried to improve and enhance the tweak CarPlay iOS 2.0 with some quite interesting new features that we explain below.
Merger mode: With the new merge mode, you can now open third-party applications in the CarPlay interface and use the Home button to interact with them.
Update via OTA: The tweak now supports updates via OTA (Over The Air), so you don’t have to open Cydia to update CarPlay iOS 2.0.
Points of interest: The Maps app now shows points of interest which will allow you to get a much more useful navigation experience when using the tweak on iPhone and iPad.
Google Maps support: It is also possible to use the Google Maps application instead of Apple Maps on CarPlay iOS.
On and Off: The tool will know when to turn on the CarPlay interface based on the connection to the car charger.
This is a pretty useful tweak for all those who regularly use the iPhone in the car and still have Jailbreak on their devices. What do you think about the iOS tweak CarPlay? | <urn:uuid:e3f0648b-cdc9-4386-90b0-12d896b85e39> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.junomc.com/emulating-the-carplay-experience-on-iphone-and-ipad/ | 2023-09-27T11:24:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.90563 | 470 |
The quintessential fall flavor stars in this family favorite recipe for Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting.
We’re jumping into fall with a tried and tested recipe that’s been in my family’s dessert rotation for more than a decade: Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Whether you call these sliceable sweets Pumpkin Bars or Pumpkin Sheet Cake, one thing is certain: It’s hard to beat the pairing of pumpkin and tangy cream cheese frosting.
This recipe originally appeared in a 1976 issue of Better Homes and Gardens under the title of “Paul’s Pumpkin Bars.” But year-after-year as trays of the bars were served up at my family functions, we adapted the dessert to be our own by spicing it up with plenty of ground cloves and ginger.
If you’re craving that classic pumpkin dessert flavor but don’t want to go the extra mile for DIY pie dough, this is the autumnal sweet for you.
Chopped toasted pecans add a bit of nutty crunch in each bite while swirls of tangy cream cheese frosting complement the spiciness of the pumpkin cake batter.
Best of all, if these pumpkin bars are part of your holiday menu (when oven space is scarce and time is even more scarce), feel free to prep them a day in advance, keeping the bars and frosting separate, then assemble them before serving.
Additional chopped toasted pecans and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon are a final festive touch to this guaranteed crowd-pleaser of a sweet.

Korean Culture & Art of MD (KCAMD) is dedicated to promoting Korean traditional culture and arts, and has performed at numerous special cultural events and ceremonies throughout the Mid-Atlantic area.
Modeumbuk(모듬북) Modeumbuk is drumming with the traditional Korean rhythm. It is a drumming act, belonging to the Korean Traditional Performing Arts Association. Beautiful songs are usually performed during the annual festival season and the stage of consummation of international relations. Modeumbuk's traditional percussion music performance is modernity. As an illustration, a child can do Modeumbuk by holding a stick and hitting the table repeatedly. The whole idea is to produce a rhythmic beat by tapping on an object. Studying to Modeumbuk is as simple as that, so we can all enjoy it. 모듬북은 다양한 크기와 음높이가 다른 여러 북을 두개의 채로 연주하기 위해 만든 공연 형태를 말한다. 1980년대 이후 사물놀이와 함께 풍물놀이의 무대화 양식과 유사한 형태로 등장, 현재는 무용단, 국악관현악단, 사물놀이 등에서 연주한다. 북은 나무로 만든 몸통에 동물의 가죽을 씌워 그 부분을 치는데 북의 크기는 일반 북 크기부터 바닥까지 내려오는 크기까지 다양하며, 장단은 승무북 장단, 장구장단, 창작장단 등이 있으며, 국악뿐만 아니라 여러 음악 형태에 적용될 수 있다.
"Modeumbuk-Sound of the Wind (바람의 소리)" "Modeumbuk-Sound of the Wind" is performed by a youth team named Stepping Stones. They will use traditional Korean drums to express many exciting beats and to represent the sound of Korea. 자연의 소리, 바람을 한국의 전통 타악기인 북의 소리로 구성하여 자연과 어우러지는 한국의 소리를 표현한 작품
Janggo Dance (장고춤) It is performers drum while dancing with a drum (Jang-Goo) strapped to their body. The Jang-Goo is one of the oldest Korean instruments that trace as far back to early 19th century. It is a hallow, hourglass-shaped body made of either porcelain, tile, metal, wood, gourd, or tinned sheet. Janggo is a drum widely used in Korean Traditional music. Playing with a drumstick in each hand, Yeolchae and Gungchae, the performers will present an exhilarating dance to an exciting Janggo beat. 한국의 전통 타악기 중 하나인 장고를 어깨에 비스듬히 둘러메고 흥겨운 음악에 맞추어 춤을 추다 손에 든 열채와 궁채로 장고를 두드리며 신명난 가락으로 춤과 연주를 함께 하는 전통 민속춤이다.
Sam Go Moo (Three drum dance, 삼고무) Sam Go Moo is a dance genre with colorful and various techniques with dancers with three drums hung on the square frames laid out in three sides of dancers. Three drums are one set for one dancer so that a dancer can hit all of three drums while dancing. Usually, the beat of dancing is getting faster as it goes to the end, which emphasises the strong points of drum. Another key feature of this dancing is to move their body in different ways to hit drums. It shows dancer’s great flexibility as well as their sense of rhythm. Sam Go Moo exemplifies the dynamics of Korean dance with dignified uniform of movement.
Fan Dance (부채춤) Korean Fan Dance is a popular performance for many celebrations. This dance is to show an exuberant display of large fans forming a variety of patterns. The Korean Fan Dance is often performed during celebrations at Korea’s palaces centuries ago for the country’s royalty. The dance includes the use of large vivid color fans to create images such as birds, flowers, butterflies, and waves. 양손에 든 꽃부채가 보여주는 조화와 아름다운 공간구성이 특징인 이 춤은 한국적 춤사위와 전통 궁중복식을 기본으로 하여 한국춤의 다양함과 화려함을 보여주는 작품이다.
Arirang (아리랑) This song is a beloved folk song of Korea and some even consider it as the unofficial anthem. It is a song of separation and lost love. Arirang is a Korean Folk Song which is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity program by UNESCO. There are many variations of this song depending on the regions in Korea, of which the performers have chosen to perform the most well-known version. 2012년 12월 유네스코 세계인류 무형유산으로 등재된 한국의 대표적 민요인 아리랑은 각 지역별로 각기 다른 아리랑이 전해져 오고 있지만 이 작품은 가장 널리 불리고 있는 아리랑을 선택하여 한국인의 정서를 표현하였다.
Another Arirang (또하나의 아리랑)
Sae Ta Ryung (새타령) This folk song originated from Jan Ra province in Korea. This cheerful song describes various kinds of birds’ shapes and sounds.
Spring Day (봄날) Portraying all kinds of birds and their cries, this folk song is choreographed in way to express the feelings when women go on a spring outing. 화창한 날에 모여서 노니는 온갖 새들의 모습과 울음소리를 묘사한 민요 새타령에 맞춰 봄날 나들이 간 여인들의 모습을 한국적인 춤사위로 구성하였다. | <urn:uuid:532139cf-ac85-4d4e-809c-be8b1e9436b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kcamd.org/programs | 2023-09-27T11:32:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.659756 | 2,370 |

In a brilliantly twisted debut set among Boston’s elite, Edwin Hill introduces unforgettable sleuth Hester Thursby—and a missing persons case that uncovers a trail of vicious murder . . .
Harvard librarian Hester Thursby knows that even in the digital age, people still need help finding things. Using her research skills, Hester runs a side business tracking down the lost. Usually, she’s hired to find long-ago prom dates or to reunite adopted children and birth parents. Her new case is finding the handsome and charismatic Sam Blaine.
Sam has no desire to be found. As a teenager, he fled his small New Hampshire town with his friend, Gabe, after a haunting incident. For a dozen years, Sam and Gabe have traveled the country, reinventing themselves as they move from one mark to another. Sam has learned how trusting wealthy people can be—especially the lonely ones—as he expertly manipulates his way into their lives and homes. In Wendy Richards, the beautiful, fabulously rich daughter of one of Boston’s most influential families, he’s found the perfect way to infiltrate the milieu in which he knows he belongs—a world of Brooks Brothers suits, Nantucket summers, and effortless glamour.
As Hester’s investigation closes in on their brutal truth, the bond between Sam and Gabe is tested and Hester unknowingly jeopardizes her own safety. While Gabe has pinned all his desperate hopes of a normal life on Hester, Sam wants her out of the way for good. And Gabe has always done what Sam asks . . .

A trade agreement between Kenya and UK that seeks to craft a new relationship post-Brexit has been made public revealing benefits for both countries.
The deal will allow over 4 million Kenyan youths and women working in the agricultural sector to keep their jobs as the UK hopes to increase demand for Kenya's agricultural products.
The shipments of horticultural products from Kenya to the European Union were partially halted in March 2020 after the European capital enforced lockdowns, and Kenya suspended international flights.
The decision affected thousands of employees from this sector considering that the European Union takes over 80% of Kenya's horticultural produce.
UK firms on the other hand will continue to export duty-free goods into Kenya as the UK opens additional markets for Kenya's agricultural products.
However, agriculture and some industrial products from the UK will not enjoy the duty-free deal, will see Kenya use the UK markets as one of its major agricultural products export destinations.
Through the trade agreement, the government is targeting to establish value addition for Kenyan agriculture products and in the process promote industrial development in Kenya.
The pact is expected to last for 25 years but a review will be conducted occasionally to determine the deal's impact.
The partnership allows for a gradual and partial reduction of tariffs from some products exported to Kenya from the UK.
Kenya signed the deal after the UK exited from the European Union giving it an opportunity to trade largely with other countries.
The CS emphasized the benefit Kenyans will have from the deal despite allowing the UK to export duty-free products in Kenya.
“Kenya is offering to open 82.6 percent of the value of total trade to the UK over an extended transition period constituting only raw materials, capital goods, intermediate products, and all other goods,” Betty said.
In 2019, Kenya made additional agriculture exports worth over Ksh 10 billion to the UK market but the value reduced in 2020 due to the effects of Covid-19.
Some of the products expected in the country include vehicles, machinery, printed books, papers and paperboards, beverages, and vinegar.

Crash landings result in damage to an aircraft and at times, turn fatal. Much as such incidents are unprecedented, it is important to be aware of the course of action to take in the event they occur.
Despite the widely spread notion that crash landing denotes all types of emergency landings, the term refers to a landing where the aircraft's body is damaged due to the pressure emanating from the impact.
Other types of emergency landing include forced landing, where the plane is forced to make an emergency landing due to technical hitches and precautionary landing where the pilot makes a landing to avert risks posed by unprecedented factors midway.
Aviation bodies and trainers across the globe have developed drills aimed at guiding passengers and the larger part of the crew on how to respond to such emergencies.
The main priority in such a case is to protect passengers from deceleration forces which have the potential to inflict injuries caused by collision with the aeroplane’s interior equipment.
There are specific guidelines that target pilots while others are designed to guide both cabin crew and passengers.
Aviation guidelines stipulate that pilots should notify passengers of the impending emergency landing upon detecting an impending risk. Such announcements are usually verbatim according to the standards set by aviation regulators.
Further, aviation standards advise passengers to maintain a brace position in such incidents.
This implies a position where passengers sit with their heads forward by the knees, with hands wrapped over the head, and feet firmly planted behind the knees.
This, according to the rules, prevents the possibility of shooting forward on impact due to the force of inertia.
The rationale for maintaining the brace position is to protect the passengers from deceleration forces that are caused by the impact of a sudden halt of motion.
In addition, the brace position prevents legs from being broken against the seats and the interior surface of the aircraft.

Shortlisted for the 2019 ΦBK Science Award
By Jay M. Pasachoff
One of the most astounding events in the history of the space program was the close flyby of Pluto and its moons by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on July 14, 2015. The incredible story of how this tremendous success was rescued from near disaster, and how the project even got started in the face of many doubters, is well told in this book.
Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, is the hero of the story, and we largely read the results of Stern’s dictating chapters to planetary astronomer and popular author David Grinspoon—though the chapters, we read, then went through many backs-and-forths between the two authors. Though written in the third person, we see Stern’s authoritative recollections and interpretations. Stern is the one who pushed through 6 mission concepts over 13 years to get New Horizons approved as “the first mission to the last planet.”
I was interested to see how young Alan Stern, at age 13, was inspired by an issue of National Geographic Magazine, with Saturn on the cover, to go into planetary exploration (though I wonder if he forgot, skipped over, or was partly inspired by my own article about my total solar eclipse expedition later in the issue.)
Reading this book during the next few months would put you in good shape to understand and rejoice in the next step for New Horizons: its flyby of a small object even farther out in the solar system than Pluto. On January 1, 2019, the spacecraft will fly by 2014 MU69, recently nicknamed Ultima Thule after a traditional name for an unreachable object far out in the north. I was fortunate to be one of about 60 scientists sent by NASA to Argentina and South Africa last year, with 24 new medium-sized portable telescopes and electronic detectors, to try to pinpoint the position of this further object. As a result of our efforts, New Horizons was even swerved slightly a few months ago to send it only 2000 miles above the surface of this 30-mile-across object that may, indeed, be a pair of objects in a close orbit or even stuck together.
In the book’s prologue, and then in more detail near the end, we readers hold our collective breath as we learn of the spacecraft’s apparent shutdown only days before its arrival at Pluto after a nine-year flight. Though the onboard computer ultimately restarted—it had merely been overloaded—we get a feeling for the dedication of Stern and of hundreds of others who had to accomplish major tasks in less time than previously thought possible, even getting the final mission sequences uploaded over again to the restarted computer—at that time so far away that the return travel time for a signal sent up was over 8 hours (compared with the Earth-Sun distance of only eight light-minutes). As the authors quote from a World War I phrase, the nine-year voyage was “months of boredom punctuated by moments of terror.”
The first half of the book, pre-2006-launch, describes the background of the mission, and how many tries Stern, especially, had made to move Pluto onto the front burner of NASA funding and mission selection. I chaired a session on the history of the Pluto mission at last year’s meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Planetary Sciences Division, and it is wonderful to have so much of the history discussed in such an authoritative fashion.
One section of the book describes the International Astronomical Union’s reclassification—I call it a promotion—of Pluto to be the first to be discovered in a belt of over 1000 similar objects out beyond Neptune. As the book describes, only 4 percent of the membership of the IAU was still present for the voting on the last day of the two-week IAU General Assembly, and Stern ably speaks for the continued planethood of Pluto, with its surface details, its atmosphere, and its moons. (I myself was present, so I know that some details on the drafting of and voting for the new classification in the book under review weren’t quite as it happened, such as how the dynamical astronomers caused a last-minute change in the definition of a “dwarf planet,” which is Pluto’s current classification.) I was glad to learn that Stern chose that name in analogy to astronomers’ use of “dwarf star” for the most common type of star, including our Sun, though many people in the general public don’t realize the high-quality ranking of the term.
I remember clearly how exciting it was to be at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, when the spacecraft flew by Pluto (we cheered a local countdown), though the spacecraft was over four light-hours away, meaning a signal took over four hours to reach us, and for the flyby the spacecraft was turned to take crucial close-up data rather than have its antenna pointed at Earth. From the earlier part of the book, we had read about the compromises and choices that had had to be made in order to get the mission approved within the strict financial caps that NASA required.
Near the book’s end, we get an excellent description of the feeling of the scientists involved as the images and other data came in—though we appreciated the nervousness that had led to a fail-safe set of images to be transmitted the day before, in case New Horizons died at closest approach by hitting a dust particle or other debris orbiting Pluto. A bonus is an extra list at the end of 10 major discoveries about Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, with paragraphs of explanation.
The book’s two color sections, each consisting of eight double-sided pages, begin by containing images of key mission personnel and, at the end of the second section, include an excellent selection of fantastic images sent back by New Horizons as it flew through the Pluto/Charon system.
I have my hotel reservations for attending the receipt of images from Ultima Thule. New Year’s Day should bring fantastic pictures of the farthest object ever to be imaged close up, and the worldwide coverage we expect (the Pluto flyby was on front pages all over the world) should excite us all. Alan Stern’s and David Grinspoon’s interesting Chasing New Horizons is preparing us for the best possible understanding of what will be going on, and will heighten our enthusiasm.

Guasha (pronounced "gwa-shah") is an integral part of acupuncture
and TCM-related techniques, a scraping therapy, allowing Qi and blood
to flow through the body. Gua means to scrape and Sha means redness.
The techniques involve the use of instruments to apply pressure or scrape
the skin along the meridians to promote normal circulation and metabolic
processes. During a treatment, a special Chinese herbal oil is applied to the skin. This oil is used to protect the skin.The tool used in Guasha is called a scraper. This tool is usually made of jade because it conducts the energy (Qi) well. During the scraping spots, the places may appear to have bruises where Qi blockages are in the body. These bruises can vary from red to deep red. The darker colours indicate the deeper blockage and often this means there is more chronic disorder. The red spots disappear completely within 3 to 7 days in a normal condition. Drink plenty of water after a Guasha treatment, on the day of treatment and the day after, it is important to drain the waste from the bladder and kidneys.Gua Sha is used whenever a patient has pain associated with an acute or chronic disorder. In addition to resolving musculoskeletal pain, it also prevents common cold, flu, bronchitis, asthma, and any chronic disorder involving pain, congestion of Qi and blood.In modern medical concept the fluids contain metabolic waste that congested the surface tissues and muscles. Guasha is aimed at removing wastes from our body to establish a better flow of Qi and blood and to promote circulation and harmonize metabolic processes.Some study shows that the Guasha increases surface microperfusion, anti-inflammatory and immune stimulation properties which will lead to better health. | <urn:uuid:055cc1f4-c066-4e9c-8656-48c84f5435bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kingstonbwacupuncture.ca/guasha.html | 2023-09-27T10:37:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.936662 | 366 |

Are you a fan of spicy food? Do you love experimenting with different seasoning blends in your cooking?
If so, you may have come across two popular seasoning mixes – Cajun and Blackened. While they may seem similar, there are subtle differences between the two that can affect the taste of your dish.
In this article, we’ll explore the differences between Cajun and Blackened seasoning and help you decide which one to use in your next recipe.
So, grab a pen and paper, and let’s get started!
Is There A Difference Between Cajun And Blackened Seasoning?
Yes, there is a difference between Cajun and Blackened seasoning. While both seasoning blends are rooted in Louisiana cuisine, they have distinct differences in terms of their ingredients and spiciness levels.
Cajun seasoning is typically spicier than Blackened seasoning, as it often contains more cayenne pepper. The base ingredients for Cajun seasoning include garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper, which are then combined with other dried herbs and spices. This blend is perfect for adding a kick to your dishes, especially if you love spicy food.
On the other hand, Blackened seasoning is a milder blend that includes paprika, oregano, thyme, and several varieties of pepper. It is less spicy than Cajun seasoning but still adds a depth of flavor to your dishes. Blackened seasoning is often used to create the signature blackened crust on fish or chicken.
What Is Cajun Seasoning?
Cajun seasoning is a blend of aromatic spices that is deeply rooted in Louisiana cuisine. It is typically made with a base of garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper, which are then combined with other dried herbs and spices. The blend can vary depending on the recipe, but it often includes cayenne pepper, which gives it a spicy kick.
Cajun seasoning is perfect for adding flavor to roasted meat, grilled fish, and hearty stews. Its spicy flavor profile makes it a popular choice for those who love heat in their dishes. However, if you have a sensitivity to spice, it may not be the best choice for you.
What Is Blackened Seasoning?
Blackened seasoning is a spice blend that is commonly used in Louisiana cuisine. It is a milder version of Cajun seasoning and is made up of a combination of paprika, oregano, thyme, and several varieties of pepper. The name “blackened” comes from the cooking technique used to prepare dishes with this seasoning, which involves searing the meat or fish in a hot cast-iron skillet until it turns black on the outside.
Blackened seasoning is perfect for adding flavor to dishes without overwhelming them with too much spice. It is often used to create the signature blackened crust on fish or chicken, which adds a smoky flavor and texture to the dish. This seasoning blend can also be used as a rub for meats or as a seasoning for vegetables.
The Ingredients In Cajun Seasoning
Cajun seasoning is a blend of various herbs and spices that are commonly used in Louisiana cuisine. The base ingredients for Cajun seasoning include garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. These ingredients are then combined with other dried herbs and spices such as cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
Cayenne pepper is the key ingredient that gives Cajun seasoning its spiciness. It is a type of chili pepper that is commonly used in Cajun cuisine to add heat to dishes. Paprika is another ingredient that is often added to Cajun seasoning to balance out the spiciness with a slightly sweet flavor.
Thyme and oregano are two herbs that are commonly used in Cajun seasoning to add a depth of flavor to dishes. Thyme has a slightly earthy and minty flavor, while oregano has a slightly bitter taste with a hint of sweetness.
Garlic powder and onion powder are also essential ingredients in Cajun seasoning. They add a savory flavor to dishes and help to enhance the overall taste of the blend.
The Ingredients In Blackened Seasoning
Blackened seasoning is a flavorful blend of herbs and spices that is commonly used in Louisiana cuisine. The ingredients in Blackened seasoning include smoked paprika, onion powder, sea salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.
Smoked paprika adds a smoky flavor to the seasoning, while onion powder and garlic powder provide a savory taste. Sea salt enhances the overall flavor of the blend, and ground black pepper adds a subtle heat. Dried thyme and oregano add an earthy flavor to the seasoning, while cayenne pepper provides a mild spiciness.
To make Blackened seasoning, simply combine all the ingredients in a small jar or bowl and stir to blend. Store the spice blend in an airtight container and keep it in a cool dry place. It will last just as long as all your other spices.
The Flavor Profile Of Cajun Seasoning
Cajun seasoning is a complex blend of spices that creates a unique and bold flavor profile. The base ingredients of garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper provide a savory foundation, while the addition of cayenne pepper adds a fiery kick. Other common spices found in Cajun seasoning include paprika, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
The combination of these spices creates a flavor that is both spicy and savory, with a hint of sweetness from the paprika. The garlic and onion powders add depth and richness to the blend, while the thyme and oregano provide an earthy and herbaceous note.
Cajun seasoning is versatile and can be used on a variety of dishes, from seafood to chicken to vegetables. It is especially popular in Cajun and Creole cuisine, where it is used to season gumbo, jambalaya, and other traditional dishes.
The Flavor Profile Of Blackened Seasoning
Blackened seasoning has a unique flavor profile that sets it apart from other seasoning blends. The combination of paprika, oregano, and thyme creates a smoky and earthy flavor that is perfect for grilling or pan-searing meats. The addition of several varieties of pepper adds a subtle heat to the mix without overpowering the other flavors.
When used as a dry rub or coating for meat or seafood, blackened seasoning creates a crispy and flavorful crust that adds texture and depth to your dishes. It can also be used to season rice and vegetables, adding a touch of smokiness and spice to your side dishes. | <urn:uuid:3d114f07-64db-4e05-8403-589bed2f08f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.knowyourpantry.com/seasonings/is-there-a-difference-between-cajun-and-blackened-seasoning/ | 2023-09-27T11:03:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.935463 | 1,393 |

In the latest episode of SEVENTEEN‘s online series GOING SEVENTEEN, the members of the group compete to see who can enjoy rice the best with their preferred side dish. Midway through the episode, Joshua surprises everyone by suddenly pushing his table out in front of the rest.
His side dish is simple, just ramyun and nothing else, but he has a special way of eating it that he wants to share with the members.
The key to enjoying ramyun, according to Joshua, is eating it when you feel cold.
Therefore, Joshua’s aim is to capture that feeling of coldness while eating.
How will he get himself to be cold, you might be wondering. Well, you’re in luck, because Joshua shared his ingenious plan with the staff. In short, he’s going to put his bare feet in an ice bath and fill his clothes up with ice.
True to his word, Joshua dunks his feet in an ice bath and begins eating, and his groupmates look on in disbelief.
However, that isn’t quite cold enough for Joshua just yet.
As Joshua gears up to make his next move, his bandmates are forced to look on helplessly, clamoring for him to stop doing what they know he’s about to do.
Unfortunately, their protests are in vain. With one deep breath, Joshua dumps another bucket of ice water over himself.
Needless to say, the other members completely lose their minds.
Whether it really tasted better is still up in the air, but at the very least, Joshua seemed to think so.
No matter what the final result was, at least Joshua could rest easy knowing how much he amazed his fellow SEVENTEEN members. | <urn:uuid:5c55bbf7-f323-4dea-968c-4c9a0b4a2e6b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.koreaboo.com/news/seventeen-joshua-blew-minds-eating-ramyun/ | 2023-09-27T11:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.984544 | 372 |

2010 | Shanghai (CN)Shanghai Pavilion at Shanghai World Expo 2010
In addition to installing the technical infrastructure in the Aviation Pavilion and Austrian Pavilion at the World Expo 2010, Kraftwerk Living Technologies was also responsible for the installation of innovative server architecture, show control, and auto-alignment systems at the Shanghai Pavilion.
The pavilion’s highlight was a Hexapod platform with dome projection showing many different pictures and videos of the pavilion’s slogan “New Horizons Forever”. Due to the dome’s complex shape, Kraftwerk Living Technologies had to implement a fully automated system. Furthermore, KLT installed a state-of-the-art auto-alignment system, which measures the dome’s geometry accurate to a millimeter and adjusts the film sequences perfectly to the shape. Therefore 10 detailed pictures are rendered automatically from a polar coordinate film. The content is automatically saved on the media server and is transferred with time-code and frame-exact synchronization to the individual projectors. As a result, the visitor faces a seamless projection, which appears to be one single picture. The additionally integrated Show Control controls special effects and the platform, so that the user on-site can easily and seamlessly operate the attraction. | <urn:uuid:0c617378-51ef-4089-8444-a4447dce0f7f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kraftwerk.at/reference/shanghai-pavilion/ | 2023-09-27T10:48:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.879218 | 257 |
Winter is still around and low humidity often steals moisture from our bodies. Naturally, our skin often ends up dry, flaky, and itchy, while our hair starts looking dull and damaged. Hence it is important to keep your skin and hair healthy, nourished, and looking good all season long. One of the first steps is consuming vitamins and minerals every day, which is essential to sustain a healthy body and mind. Vitamin E plays a pivotal role in your body’s ability to maintain healthy skin, hair, and muscles, as well as support healthy levels of immunity. Dr. Sachin Pawar, MD, Head – Medical & Technical affairs – India Cluster, Procter & Gamble Health Limited shares the benefits of consuming vitamin E for your hair and skin.
As published by the National Centre of Biotechnology Information authors Mohammad Abid Keen and Iffat Hassan, Vitamin E was first discovered in 1922 by scientists Herbert M Evans and Katherine Bishop at the University of California at Berkeley. Vitamin E has since been in use for more than 50 years in dermatology.
Unlike other antioxidants, vitamin E has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that protect the body from free radicals produced by environmental pollutants and stressors. Our cells need daily nourishment to keep us healthy and active and Vitamin E plays a pivotal role in it.
Benefits of Vitamin E for skin:
A component of many beauty products, Vitamin E is a free-radical scavenger that protects the skin from the adverse effects of solar radiation/UV rays. Its antioxidant properties nourish your skin and reduce free radical damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. Vitamin E also acts as a moisturizing agent for your dull skin. Furthermore, collagen, which is an important part of your skin’s structure and elasticity, is less likely to be damaged and can help protect you against the signs of aging.
A study conducted in 2016 showed that vitamin E is also effective for reducing dark under-eye circles when it’s combined with antioxidants like vitamin C and retinol.
Vitamin E also helps you fight acne. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties act upon the bacteria causing acne by reducing the formation of comedones.
Benefits of Vitamin E for hair:
Not just on the skin, Vitamin E also helps improve your hair. Vitamin E supports your scalp’s microcirculation and oxygenation and thus provides nourishment at the cellular level. Therefore, Vitamin E is an essential for maintaining healthy hair.
Deficiency of Vitamin E:
While Vitamin E is a vital nutrient for our body, its deficiency can lead to cellular weakness and breakdown. In addition to its activities as an antioxidant, vitamin E plays a pivotal role in boosting your immune function. One of the most common symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency is a low immune system, muscle weakness, retina-related problems, and trouble with balance and coordination. Nevertheless, you can overcome the deficiency with simple alterations to your diet, as well as the addition of Vitamin E supplements to your daily routine.
How do I find Vitamin E?
We can easily incorporate vitamin E into our diets in the form of seeds, nuts, oils, and a handful of fruits and vegetables. Some people may benefit from taking Vitamin E supplements in addition to eating foods rich in Vitamin E, such as avocados, papaya, spinach, and almonds. However, one must ensure that the supplements are consumed with a full meal since the nutrient is a fat-soluble vitamin, as stated by the National Institute of Health.
Remember, Vitamin E requirements differ based on factors such as age, gender, pregnancy status, and breastfeeding. It is very important to consult with your doctor to learn more about how much Vitamin E your body and lifestyle need. | <urn:uuid:93bb5ed6-1254-45d1-891f-fc08a0dbd2b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kshvid.com/benefits-of-vitamin-e-for-skin-and-hair/ | 2023-09-27T12:26:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.947662 | 760 |

Your divorce will likely be the biggest disruption your child has ever experienced. It will shake up where they live, how they spend their days and how they view the world. Their idea of the family and themselves will likely change during this time as well.
You can’t eliminate the harm that divorce causes, but you can significantly reduce it. What can you do to minimize the instability divorce causes for your children?
Have a family discussion ahead of time
Although it may seem kindest to have the process already largely completed by the time you tell your children about the divorce, your children need a chance to adjust.
Letting them know that one parent will move out soon is better than telling them someone has already left. That way, they have an opportunity to process their feelings with the entire family still in the home.
Make daily stability a priority
From how you schedule your shared parenting time to how each of you makes use of your legal decision-making authority, you can choose to prioritize stability and consistency for the children.
Maintaining the same daily schedule, keeping them in the same school and otherwise actively seeking to preserve as much of their current lifestyle as possible will reduce the pain of this transition.
Offer them support and chances for expression
Children going through divorce have a lot of emotions to process. They may need to take up a sport where they can wear themselves out and get out of their heads. They may want to learn an instrument or take an art class so that they can find new ways to let go of their most painful feelings.
They could also potentially benefit from counseling, either with the whole family present or one-on-one with a therapist. Giving them opportunities to express themselves and to heal will set them up for Success during this difficult time.
Let them know they are still your top priority
Children often feel guilty, as though they are the ones to blame for a divorce. They may worry that their parents resent them or blame them, which can be a very painful experience.
If you let your child know that you are also going through a difficult time but that you want to be there for them and that they are not responsible for your divorce or your emotions, you can head off a lot of the most painful thoughts that children often have when their parents separate.
Making yourself accessible and giving your child an opportunity to express themselves directly to you can help reinforce that you love them and will support them regardless of how your family changes. Keeping your children at the center of all of your custody matters will help you make choices that are better for them. | <urn:uuid:ddb24089-821b-4a0b-aee9-0f9e1cc1b0f7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kulinskylaw.com/blog/2022/11/tips-for-helping-your-child-adjust-to-divorce/ | 2023-09-27T11:06:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.978684 | 525 |

Black Fashion Trends from 1980s
The 1980s was a decade that brought about a remarkable transformation in the world of black fashion. With its styles, black fashion 1980s trends evolved into an era that arguably became one of a kind. African-American style icons and musicians played a significant role in shaping these trends, giving rise to a distinctive trends that blended elements of streetwear, high fashion, and subcultures such as hip hop and punk. From oversized everything to flashy accessories, the fashion of the 1980s reflected the creativity of the time, leaving a mark on the industry and inspiring future generations of fashionistas.
Black Fashion 1980s
Black Fashion 1980s: Shoulder Pads
This era witnessed an emphasis on power dressing, and shoulder pads became an essential element in achieving a strong and confident look. Shoulder pads were commonly worn in both men’s and women’s fashion, but their popularity soared among black women in particular. They were often seen in blazers, jackets, dresses, and even tops, designed to create a bold silhouette with broader shoulders.
These pads were typically made of foam or other lightweight materials, and they were inserted into garments to enhance the shoulder line. The aim was to achieve a structured and angular appearance, reflecting a sense of authority and power. This trend was heavily influenced by the rise of prominent black celebrities, businesswomen, and politicians, emphasizing the strength and independence of black individuals.

In the 1980s, colorful tracksuits became a popular fashion trend. They were typically made from lightweight and breathable materials, such as nylon or velour, and were characterized by their vibrant and bold colors.

The jackets often featured a high collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, and contrasting stripes or patterns down the arms. The pants were typically loose-fitting with an elastic waistband and had side stripes matching the jacket design.

Kangol hats were known for their distinctive shape and logo, which featured a kangaroo. They were made of various materials, including wool, acrylic, and nylon, making them suitable for different seasons and occasions. The hats typically had a rounded crown with a short stiff brim. One of the most recognizable styles was the classic Kangol bucket hat, also known as the Kangol Bermuda hat or Kangol Golf hat.
Black fashion trends of the 1980s embraced Kangol hats as a fashion statement and symbol of urban style. They were often worn tilted or turned backward, adding a unique and edgy touch to outfits. Kangol hats became a prominent accessory within the emerging hip-hop culture, popularized by influential artists like LL Cool J, Run-D.M.C., and Grandmaster Flash. These artists’ fondness for Kangol hats helped propel the brand into widespread recognition.
Black Fashion 1980s: Gold Jewelry
The 1980s witnessed several black fashion trends, including the use of gold jewelry as a prominent accessory. Gold jewelry was extremely popular during this era and played a significant role in defining black fashion.
– Statement Necklaces: Chunky gold necklaces with unique designs were a staple of black fashion 1980s. These statement pieces often featured large, bold pendants or layered chains, making a powerful fashion statement.
– Earrings: Gold earrings in various forms were highly favored. Hoop earrings, especially oversized ones, were particularly popular among black women. They added a touch of glamour to any outfit, whether worn with casual attire or for special occasions.
– Gold Chains: Black men were also heavily influenced by gold jewelry trends in the 1980s. Thick gold chains, often known as “rope chains,” were commonly worn as a symbol of wealth, luxury, and style. These chains were often paired with pendants, religious symbols, or medallions, further enhancing their appeal.
– Bracelets: Gold bracelets, ranging from chunky bangles to delicate chains, were another sought-after accessory. Stacked gold bangle bracelets were stylish, while charm bracelets featuring various symbols and trinkets added a personalized touch to one’s outfit.
– Rings: Gold rings were popular for both men and women. Often African-inspired designs, such as those featuring intricate scrollwork or cultural symbols, were particularly favored. Stackable rings and oversized cocktail rings were also prevalent, reflecting the bold and extravagant styles of the time.

These canvas sneakers featured a thick white rubber sole and were available in various colors, including black.
While Chucks were a classic choice, other brands like Nike, Adidas, and Reebok also gained popularity with their high top sneaker offerings, especially Nike as it began to emerge with the help of the Jordan brand. These brands incorporated innovative designs, cushioning, slick patterns, and color combinations, appealed to the black fashion scene.

In the 1980s, oversized dress suits became influenced by the popular power dressing trend of the decade, especially in professional settings. These suits typically featured exaggerated proportions, with broad shoulders, boxy silhouettes, and loose-fitting jackets and trousers.
Accessories played a significant role in completing the oversized dress suit ensemble. Men often paired these suits with wide ties and dress shirts with large wing collars, while women donned statement jewelry, such as oversized earrings or chunky necklaces. Additionally, high-waisted belts were commonly worn to cinch in the waist and add definition to the loose-fitting garments.
Black Fashion 1980s: Leg Warmers
Leg warmers were knitted, tube-shaped accessories that were originally designed to keep the legs warm during exercise and dance. However, they quickly crossed over into mainstream fashion and became a popular accessory for both casual and dressed-up looks.
Leg warmers were typically worn over leggings, tights, or even bare legs. They added a layer of warmth while making a bold fashion statement. The trend extended beyond everyday wear and was frequently seen in dance and workout classes, bringing a touch of the athleisure aesthetic to the fashion world. Celebrities and pop culture icons of the time, such as Madonna, made leg warmers even more popular by wearing them in music videos and performances.
Black Fashion 1980s: Jeans
The 1980s black fashion trend of acid-washed denim and high-waisted jeans represents an iconic style that gained immense popularity during that era. Acid washing is a unique process where fabric is treated with chemicals and enzymes to create a washed-out, faded, or mottled appearance. When combined with high-waisted jeans, this created a distinct and fashionable look that became synonymous with the ’80s.
Acid-washed denim was particularly notable for its striking appearance, characterized by irregular, lighter patches or streaks against a darker background. This technique revolutionized the world of denim by infusing a grungy, rock-and-roll vibe into everyday fashion. High-waisted jeans were designed to sit higher on the waist. This style accentuated the waistline and emphasized the hourglass figure, offering a more tailored and fitted look.
This trend was highly popularized by various music icons, such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, and rock bands like Guns N’ Roses, providing a rebellious and edgy allure to the fashion scene.
Black Fashion 1980s: Puff Sleeves
In the 1980s, puff sleeves were characterized by their voluminous and exaggerated design, adding a touch of drama and flair to various garments. This trend was seen in a wide range of clothing items such as blouses, dresses, and even jumpsuits. This design element added a feminine and romantic touch to outfits.
The popularity of puff sleeves during this period was influenced by the broader 1980s fashion trends, which emphasized glamour, excess, and individuality. African American women embraced this trend, as it allowed them to express their unique style and stand out in a crowd.
Black Fashion 1980s: Bomber Jackets
Bomber jackets, also known as flight jackets, were initially designed for pilots during World War II, but they gained widespread popularity during the 1980s. The bomber jacket was predominantly worn by both men and women in urban areas. This fashion trend was heavily influenced by hip-hop and street culture, which shaped the style and attitude associated with the jackets.
Bomber jackets became an essential piece of clothing in the 1980s urban fashion scene, often paired with oversized jeans, baggy sweatshirts, or tracksuits. The loose fit of the jacket allowed for freedom of movement and a relaxed aesthetic. Additionally, the jacket’s versatility made it suitable for various occasions, from casual outings to parties or performances. | <urn:uuid:46beac7c-a845-4ad8-a739-cfd724860df1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kulturevulturez.com/black-fashion-1980s/ | 2023-09-27T12:45:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.976519 | 1,996 |
On a research stay (Jan 23 – March 23) at the University of Auckland, New Zealand with Associate Prof. Dr. Bruce Cohen (University of Auckland, Critical Mental Health, Sociology, Faculty of Arts), Jo Reichertz was able to establish new research connections and give a talk on his research on The communicative construction of gambling addiction as a means of solving other social problems. This exchange resulted in a newly established working group on ‘Mental Health’.
Next to Reichertz and Cohen, the group consists of Prof. Dr. Peter Adams (University of Auckland, Social and Community Health, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences), a world-renowned gambling researcher, Dr. Jessica Terruhn (University of Waikato; Te Ngira Institute for Population Research; Urban Sociology and Community Studies), who is prominently involved in researching diversity and the reproduction of urban inequities, and Dr. Martin Harbusch (University of Siegen), who is a visiting scholar at the University of Auckland doing joint research with Dr. Cohen.
After many insightful conversations, the group intends to further the exchange of ideas through continued discussion and regular visits. The group has already begun their work on a joint article on Gambling and Medicalization. Dr. Cohen and Dr. Terruhn, as well as Dr. Harbusch are currently planning their visits to KWI. The group is also considering a potential joint research project. | <urn:uuid:cd0f1195-41ac-49a3-86ed-6519d37e0514> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kulturwissenschaften.de/en/new-cooperation-mental-health/ | 2023-09-27T12:55:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.952951 | 294 |
The gift of Reiki energy healing has been immeasurably profound for me and my clients in every aspect of life, not the least of which is relationships.
I was teaching a lot about healing relationships and lo and behold, I had a meltdown. Something my partner said triggered an avalanche of emotions. Like little land mines, he had stepped too close to old feelings of being shut down or rejected, and I felt like a Mack truck had run over my chest.
When talking about it did not really release the hurt, my partner finally asked “What can I do?” “REIKI” I replied. He put his hands on me and the familiar calming energy instantly flowed through my being. Within minutes my heart ache subsided. Plus my partner was so relieved that he finally could offer something helpful! While I now teach other healing techniques, Reiki is still my go-to foundational healing modality personally and professionally.
Gratefully, with all the healing work I have done the emotional “land-mines” are fewer and far between. The good news is you do not have to be a professional energy healer to begin healing your relationships.
Reiki is Not Your Personal Energy
Healing relationships is possible even in the first level of Reiki. The attunement or initiation process hooks you up to universal life force energy, so you are not flowing your own personal energy. Even when you may feel upset or unclear, Reiki will come to the rescue.
It is a wonderful gift in any relationship to give each other treatments. It is a way of connecting deeply, without words, and there is no need to know what to say or do for someone in order to help them. Gratefully, there are no psychology degrees required here.
Reiki is a protected channel
This is really important, as I have encountered many other types of healers saying they are absorbing or taking on the negative energy of others, and even feeling their arms going numb or becoming painful. So if you are working with someone who is upset or sick, you are not using your own energy or personal ki (chi or life force) and therefore not at risk of mixing energies with someone else’s “stuff”.
The practitioner is also receiving the Reiki energy as he or she is delivering a treatment, so they are feeling better and more energized also.
Self-Treatment Goes to the Core
Even when you may not have a partner to give you a treatment, the beauty of Reiki is the ability to do “self-treatment”. Reiki can be applied by the practitioner immediately after the first degree class regardless of their experience.
This can smooth out any emotional upsets that arise, and empowers you to have unlimited access to a healing resource “at your fingertips”. Reiki goes to the core level of imbalance, and applied regularly can effectively shift life-long patterns and deepen self-love.
After my first marriage, I dug into the solace of Reiki to begin to clear the patterns within me that had attracted an angry partner who blamed me for much of the upsets. A client of mine who was a psychotherapist declared: “after any divorce you will need at least a year of weekly therapy to clear those abusive patterns and emotions.”
While I had used therapy in the past for relationship support, I now found for me, Reiki was equal to the task (and a heck of a lot more affordable). My partners since have been at a whole new level of kindness and willingness to take responsibility for doing the inner work, and even practicing self-healing with Reiki.
Situation Healing with Reiki
In Level II Reiki training, you learn to do distant healing to a person, as well as mental/emotional healings, and even send healing to any situation. As everything is energy or frequency, when difficulties arise, applying a higher frequency energy like Reiki can dissipate and release the lower vibrations of the problem.
So even if you are not able to work with someone else as they have not agreed to a Reiki session, you can send healing energy to uplift and harmonize your relationship with that person. For instance, if you are having difficulty with a colleague at work, you can ethically send Reiki to heal your situation with that person, so long as it is for the highest good of all and not using it to try to control another.
Healing Relationships Even When You’re Not in One
Scientists are finding more and more proof of the remarkable way our emotions can affect our immune system and overall health. Emotions that have not been fully resolved and released will continue to impact you on every level and can even affect your physical and mental health, not just your relationships.
I have done a lot of clearing with Reiki on my own negative patterns that have emerged after a breakup, with the awareness that if I didn’t want to keep attracting the same problems in another relationship I could do my part to release the “issues in my tissues.”
Reiki has allowed me and my clients to continue to do the personal work around relationships even when not in one, in order to clear the way for a more harmonious and supportive fit next time.
Relationships are Mirrors
Reiki treatments are a wonderful way to begin taking responsibility for our own energy and state of being. Relationships are often mirrors showing us aspects of ourselves, both positive and negative, for us to become more aware. Reiki will clear out the closets of any mental/emotional baggage that is keeping you from experiencing more fulfilling relationships.
There is a saying that “all healing is self-healing.” As you apply Reiki to all aspects of your relationships, you will find that you are surrounded more and more by people who value and appreciate you. And if you’re really lucky they also share Reiki with you too!

How To Download & Upload Files Using Selenium With Java
Posted On: February 18, 2020
12 Min Read
While Selenium testing you may have come across a requirement where you need to either download or upload file in Selenium. Almost every web-application over the internet may have a feature for allowing users to either download or upload a file. Be it a rich-media platform such as YouTube which lets you upload video files or online photo collage maker, or an e-commerce web application which allows you to upload images. Even writing assistants like Grammarly and Plagiarism checker like Quetext offer an uploading file functionality. Similarly, these websites offer downloading functionality too. YouTube allows offline downloading, e-commerce platforms such as Amazon will let you download the invoices of your orders. My point being is that if you are an automation tester who has a routine set around Selenium testing, there is a good chance for you to run into a requirement where you may have to test a feature around downloading or uploading files in Selenium WebDriver.

In Selenium testing, it is very important to know how to Upload files in Selenium WebDriver or download files in Selenium WebDriver through automation testing with Selenium. In this Selenium Java tutorial, I am going to highlight different ways through which you can download or upload files in Selenium WebDriver.
What Is A Remote WebDriver?
Remote WebDriver implements each command of JSONWireProtocol and users can perform locally and remotely on a remote server. All Browser Drivers are child class of RemoteWebDriver and RemoteWebDriver is a class type and implements all WebDriver interface. So, RemoteWebDriver has the capability of Selenium testing on either local infrastructure or on a cloud-based Selenium Grid such as LambdaTest.
Let’s understand the real use case of uploading files in Selenium WebDriver. Suppose you are developing automation scripts for testing with Selenium & Java over an online clinical web platform where patients can book a video consultation with a doctor. On that website, there is an option to upload a Test Report where a doctor can review and discuss test reports. In such a case, you need to use upload file concepts to upload reports to their clinical web application.
Note: If you have already implemented file uploading script in your local script and want to upgrade to a remote cloud-based environment then you need to just change WebDriver to RemoteWebDriver and use
driver.setFileDetector(new LocalFileDetector()); method.
Do you know how to upload and download a file in Selenium? Watch this video to learn how to upload and download files in Selenium WebDriver using different techniques.
Upload Files in Selenium With Java
If you are familiar with Selenium 1, Accessible web server and attachFile command were using upload files. And In Selenium 2 onward, It is like just a sendkeys() command and you’re done uploading a file. It is so easy to do that now a day. When you want to upload files locally then you can directly use SendKey() and give a path in code. However, the same thing will not work remotely as did on locally. For uploading files in Selenium Remote WebDriver, you need to leverage the method called the setFileDetector method. That way, Remote WebDriver acknowledges when you are uploading files for Selenium testing over either a local machine or a remote machine. By this excellent feature of Selenium 2, you do not have to write separate code to perform Selenium testing for uploading files over locally or remotely hosted web-application. We have following options to upload files in a Remote Selenium WebDriver:
- Robot Class
- AutoIT tool
- Jacob API
This certification demonstrates your knowledge of Selenium and Java, and your expertise at automating tests for any project.
Here’s a short glimpse of the Selenium Java 101 certification from LambdaTest:
Upload Files In Selenium WebDriver Using Sendkeys()
It is always preferred to use first inbuilt features provided by Selenium Java to perform Upload file in Remote Selenium WebDriver. That is the SendKeys method. It directly applies to input tags which have an attribute as type=’file’.
Here is an example to upload files in Selenium and Java using the Sendkeys():
Upload Files In Selenium WebDriver Using Robot Class
Robot class is an AWT class package in Java. This is also a very good option to choose for Upload file in selenium. This will help to automate windows based Alert or pop up, Print pop up or native windows screen. This is independent of the Operating System.
Here is the example of File uploading using Robot class:
Upload File In Selenium WebDriver Using AutoIT
AutoIT is an external automation tool and not provided by the selenium community. Initially, AutoIT was used to automate native windows related pop up, however, there is a drawback of using AutoIT is that it creates .exe file and runs only on Windows. It is not advisable to use AutoIT for File upload. However, if you still wish to perform a file upload in Selenium WebDriver using AutoIT then here is an example for you:
Note: Save the file with .exe extension and run using command e.g Runtime.getRuntime().exec().
Upload File using Jacob API
Jacob provides the API technique to perform Upload file using Selenium. Again, to perform a file upload in Selenium WebDriver using Jacob API you would need a .dll file. That means it won’t work for Mac or Linux operating system. If you only want to target Windows operating systems then here is an example of upload File using Jabob API.
Let’s Hit The Practical For File Upload In Selenium WebDriver
Now, let me demonstrate how to upload files in a Remote Selenium WebDriver over both, on your local infrastructure as well as over the cloud-based Selenium Grid. As a part of this Selenium Java tutorial, I would be focusing on leveraging the SendKeys() method to upload files in Selenium and Java.
The scenario would be,
- open https://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/ and
- Click on Add files… button
- Then Start Upload
- Assert it back.
First off, we will start with the demonstration to upload files using local infrastructure machines. Later we will have a demonstration of the same Selenium testing script over a cloud-based Selenium Grid.
Upload Files In Selenium WebDriver Over Local Infrastructure
Below is a Selenium Java testing script which demonstrates how to upload files in Selenium WebDriver over your local machine.
That is it.! However, it isn’t all you need to know. It is important to note that when we refer to practical and real-time scenarios the requirement to perform automated browser testing might involve hundreds of browsers + OS combinations to be tested. Not to forget, the desired capabilities are bound to go bigger as your web application would scale over time.
In such scenarios, maintaining an in-house Selenium infrastructure is both time-consuming and expensive. You will need to hire more machines and resources on-board. Unless you can afford a device lab provider such as Amazon AWS which can be costly for many businesses. So what can you do?
Fortunately, there is a cloud-based Selenium Grid such as LambdaTest which will help you execute Selenium testing for you web-application to ensure cross browser compatibility. With LambdaTest, you can test on 3000+ real browsers & operating systems for both mobile & desktop. That way, you won’t have to worry about maintaining your Selenium Grid as we will provide you with a cloud-based infrastructure with zero downtime, where machines are ready to fire up 24/7, as per your wish.
Upload Files In Selenium WebDriver Over An Online Selenium Grid
Now, the same scenario can be run on the LamdaTest’s online Selenium Grid. You should observe here that we have changed only two points as shown below.
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://hub.lambdatest.com:80/wd/hub"), capabilities);
And, you are done!!! Here is the full Selenium Java testing script to upload file in Selenium WebDriver over an online Selenium Grid.
Monitoring Result Over LambdaTest Automation Dashboard
Once you navigate to the automation dashboard on LambdaTest. You will notice that the test has been executed successfully in the timeline.
Automation Logs: In the Automation Logs you can see each execution in detail including browser version, Operating system version, execution date and time, videos, screenshots and steps of execution.
With that said, you have learned how to upload files in Remote Selenium WebDriver for both, local and cloud-based Selenium Grid.
Download Files in Selenium WebDriver
Now, that you are familiar with file uploading in Selenium WebDriver, you might be thinking that downloading a file with Selenium WebDriver is going to be just as easy! Well, think again! You have a web-application and you would want the download file functionality to work seamlessly across different browsers so that your customers aren’t bothered by a UI bug. However, every web browser offers a different UI when downloading a file. Let us look at different screenshots of different browsers running on a macOS.
Mozilla Firefox download screen:
Safari download screen:
Google Chrome Download screen:
Similarly, these screenshots would differ for different operating systems, and operating system versions too. So when you are downloading a file through Google Chrome on Windows 7 it might give the below screen.
As you may notice, here the file was directly downloaded when the timer clocked-down to 0 seconds, without any user confirmation.
So every browser will have a different download mechanism based on the operating system over which it is being utilized. Browser configuration using a profile, different browser, different Operating Systems play a vital role while Selenium testing with Java to download the file.
To automatically download file using Selenium with Java, we have the following options:
- Robot Class
- Browser Profile
Download File In Selenium WebDriver Using AutoIT
Already we have discussed the AutoIT tool. The same tool is used for downloading files in selenium. Again, download window changes as per Browsers. So users have to consider all scenarios to automate download pop up.
Here is AutoIT script example:
Save this code and generate .exe file and execute in java code using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). Again, It is not advisable to use it as it supports only Windows operating system and its external tool.
Download File In Selenium WebDriver Using Robot Class
You can run the below Selenium testing script to download files using Selenium with Java through Robot class.
Note: AutoIT and Robot class code could change based on the browser-specific profile set as well as where you want to save. Moreover, most important is cursor focus. If your download pop up is not in focus then mostly your code will not work.
Download File In Selenium WebDriver Using The Browser Profile Setting
By leveraging the browser profile setting, you can download files in Selenium WebDriver without interacting with the download window pop-up. You need to trick the browser profile. Here I have given a below example for Google Chrome browser and Mozilla Firefox browser.
Add this code into your Selenium Java testing suite.
Let’s Hit The Practical For File Download In Selenium WebDriver
As we did a practical implementation to upload file in Selenium WebDriver. We will now practice downloading files in Selenium WebDriver on both local and cloud-based Selenium Grid. I will be demonstrating the file downloading using the Browser Profile Setting.
Download Files Using Selenium With Java With The Browser Profile Setting
Note: Working on a local machine for downloading files is easy to handle but on a remote machine, it works based on the permission you have been provided to access the remote WebDrivers.
Download File Example For Online Selenium Grid With The Browser Profile Setting
Similar to uploading, the only thing we need to tweak in the Selenium Java testing script is going to be the file detector and the hub URL.
Below is a screenshot of LambdaTest automation logs which shows that the file is downloaded successfully.
If you have a website where you are allowing users to either download or upload files in Selenium WebDriver then you need to ensure they work seamlessly across all browsers. Selenium testing can help you easily automate the download & upload file functionality of your web-application. Working on upload file feature of Selenium is very easy if you have understood the difference between Remote WebDriver and WebDriver Interface.
Although Selenium can help you execute test cases in local infrastructure. It is always recommended to go for a cloud-based Selenium Grid in order to save both time and resources. Selenium testing over an online Selenium Grid requires you to tweak a couple of lines of code where you specify the appropriate Hub URL for your Remote WebDriver. Similarly, Download file using a third-party tool would end up having a flaky automation test. Hence, it is always preferred browser profiling settings in order to get a stable script. I hope the practical examples provided for both were explained in great detail and that they helped you gain more insight into the matter. If you still got questions around downloading & uploading files in Selenium WebDriver then make sure to drop them in the comment section. Cheers and happy testing!☺

What’s in the Laser Safety Officer Laser Safety Kit?
If you’re a company in need of a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) and you also have employees who need basic laser safety training, our laser safety kit takes care of both those needs.
Whoever you assign to the LSO course will take it online at their leisure. That person will automatically receive a certificate when the on-line course is completed. Meanwhile, back here at LSC headquarters, we will be putting together your LSO Laser Safety kit that will be sent out via USPS priority mail.
What is in the Laser Safety Officer Laser Safety kit?
I bet you’re wondering what’s in the kit. Here are the details!
- The LSO kit is a binder full of important documents to assist your company with its laser safety training program. If OSHA ever visits your facility, you can pull out the binder and show them your training program and student compliance log.
- A LSO Refresher document for easy access. It highlights the most important details of the LSO course. Very handy.
- A LSO Standard Operating Procedures document to use in your organization. It is fillable and customizable for you to document your laser safety program.
- A paper copy of the laser safety course along with student note handouts.
- Paper copies of the exam to hand out to students.
- Of course, a copy of the answer key is provided as well.
- Student training and compliance log showing the date each employee took the course.
- Paper copies of successful completion certificates to keep on file for each student.
- A copy of the OSHA laser safety section, just for convenience.
- AND most useful of all, a USB drive of all the important documents and the course in PowerPoint format.
All of this comes at an amazing cost of $349 for the Industrial kit bundle. Why is this amazing? Because the Industrial LSO course alone is $149 and each basic Industrial laser safety course is $69. So if you have more than 6 employees that need basic laser safety training, it’s a bargain because you can train an UNLIMITED number of employees.
Do you already have a Laser Safety Officer?
Do you already have a Laser Safety Officer and want details to help administer your own safety program? Then just buy our Industrial kit as a standalone product for $299.
Are you in a medical, cosmetic, healthcare or veterinary practice?
If so, your needs are more than just industrial concerns. We also have an LSO Course or Kit Bundle that meets your needs– we have Medical/Healthcare or Cosmetic– for a LSO laser safety training kit to establish your workplace laser safety program. We are here to answer any questions. The Medical and Cosmetic courses and kits include additional FDA and OSHA mandated details for safe laser handling for your staff and your clients in a healthcare practice; they are priced at $449 for the kit bundle (includes one online LSO course), $349 for safety kit alone, $199 for the LSO course and $99 for the basic safety course.
Of course, if you prefer to have your students all be able to take the courses on line, once you sign up as the employer, you can return to our website and enroll new students as often as you need to.
Start the new year off right by becoming compliant with OSHA rules.
Still have questions?

Music review: Mezzo-soprano Laurie Rubin at AT&T Center Theatre
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
A young mezzo-soprano whose voice is darkly complex and mysteriously soulful and who adds intense emphasis to every word of text sang six songs by the Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo on Thursday night at the AT&T Center Theatre. In one, a bee bites the lip of a sleeping shepherdess as if it were a rose, to the envy of a shy lover.
Laurie Rubin’s rich, toffee-thick tones conveyed not just the sense of touch of puffy rosy lips but also their exceptional redness.
It would hardly occur to a listener that Rodrigo had been blind. Nor might someone hearing Rubin’s new recording of the Rodrigo songs, say on the radio, suspect the mezzo is without sight. In recital, of course, that is obvious. Whether this makes her a different sort of singer than one who sees was the question posed by this short recital and equally short colloquium, which was organized by the noted USC neuroscientist Antonio Damasio and presented by the university at the theater inside the AT&T Center highrise in downtown L.A.
Rubin -- who grew up in Encino and who, as a high school senior, won a Music Center Spotlight Award in 1997 –- has allowed herself to mature slowly. Her first major solo recital CD (on Bridge) is out this month. Her memoir will be published in the fall, and a recital tour will follow next year.
The back story is, of course, fine for publicity, but there is also the danger it will typecast her. She has worked her way through elite vocal programs at Yale University and Bard College. She is feisty and has operatic ambitions, having already appeared in a few productions. She is a writer with a chatty blog. She makes and designs a line of jewelry (she was wearing her own earrings on Thursday). And as if there weren’t enough challenges to her singing career, she has chosen to live in far off Hawaii, because she likes it there.
Not able to make eye contact with her audience, Rubin appears to sing from the inside out, and this was something she addressed directly in the West Coast premiere of Bruce Adolphe’s “Do You Dream in Color?” (which is also the title of her CD). The text is Rubin’s and it answers a question often asked her.
In this long, personal, prosaic but fascinating text (the piece is about 20 minutes), Rubin comes to terms not so much with her own perceptions of colors but with other people’s perceptions of her perceptions. Adolphe sets the text in an effective quasi-operatic style reminiscent of Samuel Barber. The crystalline piano part was excellently played by Adolphe’s wife, Marija Stroke.
The colloquium that followed included Damasio, Rubin, Adolphe and Jim Weiland, a USC professor of ophthalmology and biomedical engineering. Rubin explained how she manages to function very well, even on the opera stage. With a little practice, she can find her way around just as she can in her own home. Thus far, though, few directors have been willing to trust that she won’t hurt herself.
Damasio posed the most telling question. Would Rubin, who was born without functioning retinas and who has never seen anything more than light, wish to be given sight, if a medical operation could accomplish that? She answered, probably not. She wouldn’t know what to do with what she fears would be information overload. She is not an incomplete artist, she said, and, in fact, she has developed certain sensitivities that might be lost.
Weiland then gave the example of a blind skier whose sight was restored and he could no longer ski until he realized that all he had to do was close his eyes.
Rubin appears to have already realized that. She sings magnificently with eyes wide shut. A major, and maybe great, career beckons. But she is also ripe for exploitation. In “Do You Dream in Color?” she reveals how her visual imagination is not hampered by retinal dysfunction. But, in fact, it will be the deepening of her inner vision through her voice where her power as a singer-seer lies.

Here is what our friends at Democracy Now! reported on Wednesday:
The Haitian-American community is now facing a looming deportation deadline. Up to 55,000 Haitians could be forcefully repatriated to their fragile, struggling homeland if the Trump administration refuses to extend a temporary protected status that has allowed them to legally reside and work in the U.S. after an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010. Haitians’ temporary protected status, or TPS, is set to expire on July 22. Immigrant rights advocates say Haiti is still reeling from Hurricane Matthew, which, in October 2016, destroyed the country’s southwest peninsula. The hurricane killed more than 1,000 people and decimated villages and farmland. Haiti is also suffering from a devastating cholera epidemic that erupted after the earthquake. For more, we speak with Marleine Bastien, executive director of Haitian Women of Miami. | <urn:uuid:56ed4627-e7d1-49d4-a228-68d86208b6ec> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.latinorebels.com/2017/05/03/55000-haitians-could-face-deportation-under-trump-video/ | 2023-09-27T13:06:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.952031 | 180 |

If you have reached the point where you feel that you no longer have any hope of being able to keep up with your bills, there may still be options available. Bankruptcy exists in the law as an option because it’s better for both individuals and society if there is a way of helping people out of situations that have reached the point where they are otherwise hopeless. Before you decide what you should do next, set up an appointment with Bankruptcy Attorneys who can help you to take an objective look at your situation and determine what legal options might be available to you.
What used to be called straight bankruptcy is now known as Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It’s a system in which you are allowed to keep a portion of your assets, but you have to agree to give up everything else. The other money and items are taken and used to satisfy as many of your debts as possible, and the creditors are obligated to accept this as full payment.
For most types of debt, including medical debt, this can be an option that allows you to start over with a clean slate. It’s important to speak to Bankruptcy Attorneys about it, however, to make sure that you have a clear understanding of what assets you keep, what you have to give up, and whether any of your debts would not be affected by this process.
People who don’t qualify for Chapter 7 are often able to benefit instead from the Chapter 13 process. In this, the courts help eligible people to set up a payment plan to repay their creditors. This can include helping people to catch up on their mortgage payments if they are behind. Payments can last for up to five years, after which any remaining debt is discharged and people can go on with their lives.
There are legal requirements to qualify for each category, and Bankruptcy Attorneys are the best people to help you assess your situation and to decide what you want to try, if anything. You can make an appointment for a consultation with Laura Margulies & Associates LLC if you want personalized advice. | <urn:uuid:7b8dc880-bf8a-4e59-bbcc-21e3e2a2c209> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lawyer-site.org/bankruptcy-attorneys-can-help-you-assess-your-financial-options/ | 2023-09-27T11:44:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.977318 | 421 |
- Leicester City can take enthusiasm from the 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Tuesday, says Brendan Rodgers
- The Foxes manager was pleased with his young side's second-half performance at Emirates Stadium
- Rodgers praised City's ability to turn the tide after enduring a phase of sustained Arsenal pressure
- He believes the point earned in the capital could potentially be crucial for Leicester this term
After making a promising start at Emirates Stadium, the Foxes endured a spell of pressure from their hosts, leading to Mikel Artea's side taking the lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
However, City recovered in the second period - a source of enthusiasm for Rodgers - and were threatening to secure an equaliser before Eddie Nketiah's 75th-minute red card.
Jamie Vardy got Leicester back on level terms with his 22nd goal of the campaign on 84 minutes and the visitors pushed for a late winner, to no avail, amid torrential rain in the capital.
After watching his side collect their 59th top-flight point this term, Rodgers outlined the potential significance the result could have as City close in on their second-best Premier League finish.
The players gave everything. They showed a real quality and spirit against a team at the height of their confidence. We’ve come here and showed what we’re capable of, which was very important.Brendan Rodgers
"It’s a terrific point," he said. "We’re disappointed we couldn’t win it, but we take the point – only our second here in the history of the Premier League – and it could have value for us.
"It could be a very, very important point for us. We’re greedy, of course, but we sometimes have to accept that we didn’t quite make the final pass in the final third of the pitch to win the game.
"The players gave everything. They showed a real quality and spirit against a team at the height of their confidence. We’ve come here and showed what we’re capable of, which was very important."
However, Rodgers also admitted there were phases in Leicester's first-half performance which required improvement - and the Northern Irishman addressed them with the group at half-time.
Demarai Gray came off the bench to set up Jamie Vardy's leveller.
"We had a good start to the game, we showed good composure, but then it started to become too stretched, they got the goal, and then we had a spell a bit like basketball," he added.
"Kasper [Schmeichel] had to make two really, really good saves for us in that period. We just tried to rush the last pass, once we went behind in the game.
"Once we came back into the game, we were a threat through the lines into the final third, but we didn’t do that often enough in that period, we were too rushed."
That conversation at the interval led to a marked improvement of the Foxes' handling of the match and Rodgers believes it is an indicator of his young squad's willingness to take ideas on board.
At 11 vs. 11, we had chances, but we kept going. Then, at 11 vs. 10, we worked it very well. In the end, we got the goal we deserved.Brendan Rodgers
"We addressed that at half-time and the second half was much better," he continued. "It’s something that is ongoing with this team. It shows you the youth of the team and there’s coaching required.
"It’s going to take time, but it’s then about how they react to the instruction. In a lot of the second-half performances, we score goals and that’s great because it means they’re coachable.
"We could sustain that much better. At 11 vs. 11, we had chances, but we kept going. Then, at 11 vs. 10, we worked it very well. In the end, we got the goal we deserved."

hen he would appear, but he was sure that he would come at least once.
This time, he didn’t go to sleep until late at night so as not to miss him.
In order to conserve the lamp’s light, he sat in bed at night with his forehead resting on his knees and waited tirelessly.
If he heard anything outside, he quickly turned on the lamp.
And he looked out the window.
After looking around for a long time, the day of waiting continued with the lamp turned off after covering himself with a blanket.
He couldn’t sleep well, so he fell asleep in the middle of the night involuntarily, and was startled by the chirping of birds passing by.
He calmed his pounding heart and called out, “Klopp?” but, as expected, only the leaves that brushed against the wind answered back.
Waiting was always rewarded.
It was one late afternoon, just as he was about to take off his clothes that were soiled with charcoal stains to wash them.
The thread of the cloth flowed from the old, ripped buttonhole and twined around the button.
He couldn’t take it off properly because of that.
At first, he tried to carefully unravel the thread little by little, but he got agitated since his fingertips hadn’t healed yet.
Even if it was, it was uncomfortable since it was so small, so Aelock was taking off his clothes almost as if he were tearing them off in an unusually aggressive manner.
The door opened.
To begin with, there was no lock, but the door, which did not move unless Aelock touched it, opened wide and a tall man entered.
Aelock, holding the half-torn garment in his hand and twisting off the button with the thread that had just been caught around his neck, stopped.
Klopp, wearing a coat, hat, and even gloves, looked at him with a slightly serious expression as usual.
Seeing Aelock staring at him in surprise with nothing on his upper body, the sneering alpha immediately cast his gaze at the rags in his skinny hands.
The corner of the man’s mouth, which had been drawing a confident arc, stiffened into a straight line and trembled slightly.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, these damn clothes are so nasty.”
Aelock was embarrassed because he couldn’t even get dressed properly due to the sudden intrusion, and ended up using harsh words, blaming them for nothing.
Even after saying that, he felt like a vulgar person, so Aelock lowered his eyes a little.
There was no need to drop the level of his innate nature to that of the bottom.
It seems that it was inevitable to be affected by the environment, in spite of his efforts not to.
He was a little worried about the clever sarcastic remarks that would be thrown at him.
After a moment of silence, Klopp took off his black silk hat, set it on the table, and strode towards him.
Then, he snatched the clothes from Aelock’s hands.
A somewhat startled Aelock looked up at him, who took off his black leather glove, raised his hand, and slapped his thin cheek.
Aelock’s head sharply turned to the side.
Stars splattered in front of his eyes, and before Aelock came to his senses, a hand as strong as steel grabbed his thin chin, turned it around, and slapped him on the cheek again.
The body that had been released from the first shock could not stand it this time and collapsed.
Aelock fell to the floor and spat out what was pooling in his mouth.
A little blood flowed.
Before he could understand what had happened or why he had to be hit, Klopp took off his other glove and this time his coat as well, put them on a nearby chair, looked down at Aelock with a cold expression, and unbuttoned his cuffs.
“Why, you ask? You still dare not know your purpose.”
He had absolutely no idea what he did wrong.
When he felt the heat on his already swollen cheeks, Klopp grabbed Aelock by the hair and hit him several more times.
Aelock’s mouth burst open and he tasted something stingy and salty, and he coughed reflexively as the saliva and blood that flowed mixed with each other were about to pass down his panting throat.
At that moment, something hot flowed from his nostrils.
Aelock’s brain was shaken from being hit in the head, and his vision was blurry so it was hard to come to his senses.
He thought it would be better to get hit on the thigh or back.
“Do you remember now? You should have.
It was left behind by someone who died in dreadful horror because of you.
I gave these to you so you could always remember the sins you committed, so how dare you soil and tear them up? How dare you say that with this hideous body?”
The enraged alpha’s voice was terrifying enough to give him goosebumps, and at the same time, the pain was so intense that his heart froze.
Aelock thought it was small because he simply brought him some random old clothes.
The slightly old-fashioned and plain clothes had a soft texture of good quality, so it was vaguely assumed by him that they were old clothes of some noble that was thrown away.
But they weren’t.
These were Rayfiel’s clothes.
Even if he didn’t know, he still tore them up in front of Klopp.
It was a mistake not to be made.
But regardless, he did it.
Aelock should have recognized the clothes, which sent Klopp into a fit of rage and exercise uncharacteristic violence once again.
But, as always, Aelock’s realization came late.
He did what he deserved in the face of his sins.
Aelock silently accepted Klopp’s violence.

If your LG Smart TV screen keeps freezing, it will affect your TV-watching experience. It happens if the internet is unstable, server outage, outdated firmware, etc. Generally, frozen issues can be fixed by turning off the TV and turning it on after 10 seconds. If your LG TV keeps freezing even after restarting, it is better to try the following workarounds to get it solved.
What Causes LG TV to Get Frozen
Any of these reasons could be the reason for LG TV freezing.
- Not updating the firmware properly
- When the external devices are not connected properly
- Poor Internet connection will cause the app to freeze
- When you are not clearing the app cache
- Because of a software glitch, a video may get stuck
How to Fix LG TV Freezing
Here are workarounds that will assist you in solving the LG TV freezing.
Update LG TV Firmware
Whenever there are issues with the TV, instantly check whether it has any updates or not. Because non-updation is the ultimate reason for the LG TV freezing. Follow these steps to check for updates on LG TV.
1. Turn ON and connect the LG TV to WiFi.
2. Press the Settings button on the remote control.
3. Navigate to All Settings and tap General.
4. Click About This TV and select Check for Updates.
5. Hit Yes if it shows any updates available for the LG TV.
LG TV freezes when the ethernet cable is not connected properly, or if WiFi signals are unstable. Here are the solutions to fix it.
Check the Internet Speed
Test the Internet speed on your LG TV. Change the Internet to a higher bandwidth if it is lower than the required speed. If the WiFi router is far from your TV, it is better to connect your LG TV to a wired internet connection. This will also help in improving the speed of the Internet.
Reduce the Connections
Internet speed will be reduced if you connect many devices to a WiFi router. Thus LG TV will freeze because of insufficient bandwidth. So, remove other connected devices or use a separate router for your LG TV to avoid such issues.
Restart LG Smart TV
You need to restart the LG Smart TV when the Internet connection is not an issue. Restarting LG TV fixes all the temporary errors, including the TV freezing. Also, it will close the apps on LG Smart TV for a smooth performance.
If your LG TV remote is not working, you can still restart the TV with some tricks. Turn off the LG TV and remove its cable from the power socket. Now, press and hold the Power button on the LG TV for 10-15 seconds.
Once done, connect it to the power source and turn on the LG TV.
Restart LG TV With Remote: Press the Power and Volume down buttons on the remote control for 15 seconds. Release it when the LG logo appears on the TV screen. Your LG TV will restart within a few seconds.
Clear Cache on Device/App
Cache files fill the storage and cause screen freezing, glitches, etc. Clear the corrupted cache on LG TV to stop this problem from occurring.
Also, when the screen freezes while using particular apps like Netflix. Then you have to clear the Netflix cache on LG Smart TV to continue watching it.
Check if LG TV is Overheating
LG TV will generate heat when it is continuously used. It may also overheat if the cooling system has defects because of a long working time or improper cleaning. It will make the LG TV restart in a loop because of an overheating problem.
To check this, touch the TV with a hand or a cotton cloth; if it is too hot, turn it OFF and unplug the cables to let it cool down. Keep the surface of the TV clean without any dirt particles. Not cleaning the dirt particles will affect the TV’s cooling system.
Also, do not keep your TV in an enclosed area. It is recommended to place your TV where it has some ventilation. Not getting enough ventilation is another reason for the TV to get overheated.

1. Turn ON the LG TV and tap the Settings button on the remote.
2. Go to All Settings and select General.
3. Click the System option and pick Reset to Initial Settings.

Gevald. It’s all Google, all the time here! Via Instapundit — now this! Google’s secretive and politically — well, incorrect, actually — news and ad techniques are getting the back of the hand from bloggers!
Great buying opportunity, people!

“I have been to the mountain and I have secured the rights to the promised land!”
The AP reports that the pimps family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. got $800,000 for “the use of his words and image” on the national memorial to his memory on the National Mall — another story I’ve been following here since the very beginning of this blog.
According to financial documents reviewed by The Associated Press, the foundation paid $761,160 in 2007 to Intellectual Properties Management Inc., an entity run by King’s family. Documents also show a “management” fee of $71,700 was paid to the family estate in 2003.
In a statement to the AP, Intellectual Properties Management said the proceeds it receives go to the King Center in Atlanta, where King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, are entombed.
Listen, it’s not a government project or taxpayer money. And evidently the people collecting spare money are happy to see the King “kids” profit from their martyred father’s expensive memory:
Charon Darris, a New York banker and alumnus of Morehouse College, King’s alma mater, said he raised about $1,000 for the memorial project with friends and did not have a problem with the fees.
“I don’t think that’s an unreasonable amount,” he said. “Ultimately, the kids lost their father, the wife lost her husband.”
Who are we to say what’s reasonable? I’m sure Darris is not the kind of person who would ever say, “We’re tired of hearing about the Holocaust!” and understands that once something awful happens to you, you’re pretty much good to bank on it — literally — for life.
Really, not an unreasonable amount at all. | <urn:uuid:f1aa0544-73c5-406a-921a-1c0454b15e30> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.likelihoodofconfusion.com/mr-lincoln-call-your-agent/ | 2023-09-27T10:36:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.963479 | 405 |
Brightly colored leaves. Sparkling icicles. Bright Christmas lights. There are so many new sights for little ones to take in during the fall and winter months!
Follow these tips to stay comfortable and cozy on your outdoor babywearing adventures together.
Dress your little one warmly: Before heading outside, dress your baby for the weather. Wearing a baby carrier is naturally cozy because of the shared body heat. But, your little one may still need a few extra layers. Leg warmers, a snug hat or beanie, and sweaters are all great options.
A good rule of thumb is to dress your little one the same way you are dressed. Check on them often, especially if they are on your back and not in your immediate line of sight. If they become flushed and too warm, remove a layer. If they are cold, consider additional bundling up or heading inside.
Adjust your carrier for puffy clothing: If your child is wearing a thick winter coat, make sure to adjust your straps to allow for this extra bulk and size. When you have removed that layer of clothing, tighten your adjusters to ensure a snug fit again.
You may also need to adjust the carrier if you are wearing a carrier over your jacket. Similar to baby, the extra bulk may require you to loosen the waist and shoulder straps.
Use a carrier cover: Carrier covers attach to your carrier to provide an extra layer of warmth. They provide added convenience and ease when bundling up for baby wearing out of doors.
Unlike a coat, which is worn under your carrier, you can put the cover on and off without having to take off the carrier. They are also a wonderful way to get baby snug and warm without the bulk of bunting. Check out LÍLLÉbaby’s exclusive bundle with 7AM Enfant for a carrier + cover bundle that’s perfect for chilly days.
Make sure you dry your carrier effectively: If your carrier becomes damp after a walk in the fog or playtime in the snow, make sure to dry it out when you come home. All LÍLLÉbaby carriers are machine washable. Hang or lay flat to dry before your next wearing.
Be flexible and take breaks: If you or your little one is feeling chilly or uncomfortable, take a break. Be flexible with your plans and open to rescheduling. Pop into a coffee shop for a quick break or head home for an early nap.
Winter days are made for play! So put on your carrier and head out to explore together. And, don’t forget to have some hot cocoa waiting when you return. | <urn:uuid:0b23bcc5-0b0b-4dd0-9722-176250bdbba7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lillebaby.com/blogs/news/babywearing-for-winter-weather-adventures | 2023-09-27T12:58:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.930466 | 542 |

The Hubris Application for HubSpot is a free sister app to the Hubris Chrome Extension (which can be found on the Chrome Web Store).
This optional application will automatically install two custom properties to the user’s HubSpot account that are required for the Hubris Chrome Extension.
The properties are used as unique identifiers for the Hubris Chrome Extension and are necessary for the app functionality.
When a contact is added to HubSpot using the Hubris extension, a reference to the LinkedIn URL of that contact is stored in the newly created custom properties. This provides the application the ability to monitor already added contacts and update them accordingly.
These properties are called:
- Hubris LinkedIn Profile URL
- Hubris LinkedIn URL
Every LinkedIn profile has a URL - the link to the webpage of the individual contact.
Every HubSpot Contact also has a URL - the link to their contact record in your HubSpot Hub.
Hubris creates a link between these two URLs and stores it in encrypted (secret and secure) format centrally on our cloud-based Hubris database.
Should it be required, these new properties can be easily accessed and deleted in your HubSpot Settings under the Properties tab.
For full functionality, users will need to add the Hubris Chrome Extension to their Chrome Browser which can be found here.
A full list of the Hubris Chrome Extension App features and its pricing plans can be found on the Chrome Web Store or you may read through the documentation on this site. | <urn:uuid:ba0935a4-08eb-430e-98b6-1deddee78817> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.linkedintohubspot.com/blog/what-is-hubris-for-hubspot | 2023-09-27T10:54:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.867573 | 304 |

Human voice is slightly prominent in the medium frequency. The moderate thickness and a somewhat cool feeling can be very helpful in shaping the sound profile. The high frequency features a superb high-pitched tone, which is extremely smooth and agreeable.
Tank Build&Ergonomics Design
TINHIFI T2 EVO is made of aviation-grade aluminum and a Tank style body. The real aluminum color is so classic and neat. The metal housing won't cause any allergic reactions on your ears as they are completely hypoallergenic. The canal design can shut out noise perfectly and you are able to enjoy deep and rich sound. Included three different sizes of ear tips work for most cases. A comfortable and functional TINHIFI EVO is ready for anyone who loves music
Detachable MMCX Cable
TINHIFI EVO is designed with popular MMCX connector and detachable feature ensures durability and full upgradeability. The cable comes with 5N 8-core silver-plated wire, because the soft and supple material is used, the feeling is good. There is no worry that the cable will be curled afterwards
Each model of Tank Family has its own style. For T2 EVO, the sound has more layers, and the loudness of human voice and music instruments is natural and real, producing a sound effect through a reasonable arrangement of music instruments. Soprano, when tuned to a super high pitch, is likely to produce a slightly jarring sensation, but it does not affect the overall sound effect.
I own every single earphone in the T series, and the EVO were a big disappointment. Too bright, sibilant, and thin-sounding.
These headphones sounds great and cost half the price of many headphones at their level.
Very musical iems. The music reproduction has very high clarity and natural timber. Vocals are lively and well present. The highs are crisp and airy. The bass and sub-bass are not a focus of the Evo but are well present to keep the performance full. Think the Tin T2 Evo is better than the Moondrop SSR.

So many health-and-fitness initiatives fall at the first hurdle. Indeed, while millions of people want to lose weight and live healthier lives, relatively few people develop a wellness routine that helps them achieve meaningful results. What’s particularly frustrating is that many individuals quit after just a few weeks (or even days) into a new fitness program. It is often difficult to adjust to a new exercise schedule and diet, though. With that in mind, today we’re going to focus on how health-conscious folks can transition to a healthier lifestyle and get off to a great start when they adopt a new routine. Check out our top tips here:
Just Do It
Exercise is hard. Sticking to a diet is hard. Altering your life for the better is hard. No matter how well you plan and prepare in advance, the reality is that the best way to enhance your overall well-being is to simply get up and get active. Note, you don’t have to create a perfect wellness plan to start a path to a better life. Just engage in some healthy activities and make more healthy dietary choices. You’ll always be able to adjust and amend your habits as you get used to your “new normal.”
Speak to a Doctor
If you’ve had difficulty sticking to an exercise routine in the past, then you may benefit from speaking to a doctor about this issue. Doctors will be able to offer you helpful advice on how you should go about working out. What’s more, they could also be able to diagnose and treat certain medical problems that may be inhibiting your progress. For example, some patients who experience joint pain may be viable candidates for stem cell therapy for knees, shoulder, or back discomfort. At the end of the day, it never hurts to go for a checkup!
Build a Team
Why try and climb a mountain on your own when you can call on others for help? It may seem obvious, but surrounding yourself with positive, supportive individuals will help you relieve stress and stay focused on your new fitness goals. Plus, some individuals will benefit from teaming up with professional trainers who can hold them accountable and ensure they hit the ground running with a new regimen.
Getting through the first few days and weeks of a new exercise program is a tall order, but something that everyone can accomplish if they put their mind to it. The good news is, once you develop a rhythm, it’ll be much easier to make healthy choices and to live a healthy lifestyle! | <urn:uuid:13833bae-d2c7-485d-ac09-c80bbdebb037> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.liveandloveoutloud.com/health-fitness/how-to-ensure-a-great-start-to-a-new-fitness-regimen/ | 2023-09-27T12:19:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.957847 | 524 |
A lunar-crescent-shaped stone monument that dates back around 5,000 years has been identified in Israel.
Located about 8 miles (13 kilometers) northwest of the Sea of Galilee, the structure is massive — its volume is about 14,000 cubic meters (almost 500,000 cubic feet) and it has a length of about 150 meters (492 feet), making it longer than an American football field. Pottery excavated at the structure indicates the monument dates to between 3050 B.C. and 2650 B.C., meaning it is likely older than the pyramids of Egypt. It was also built before much of Stonehenge was constructed.
Archaeologists previously thought the structure was part of a city wall, but recent work carried out by Ido Wachtel, a doctoral student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, indicates there is no city beside it and that the structure is a standing monument.
"The proposed interpretation for the site is that it constituted a prominent landmark in its natural landscape, serving to mark possession and to assert authority and rights over natural resources by a local rural or pastoral population," Wachtel wrote in the summary of a presentation given recently at the International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East. [See Photos of the Crescent-Shaped Monument]
The structure's crescent shape stood out in the landscape, Wachtel told Live Science in an email. The shape may have had symbolic importance, as the lunar crescent is a symbol of an ancient Mesopotamian moon god named Sin, Wachtel said.
An ancient town called Bet Yerah (which translates to "house of the moon god") is located only a day's walk from the crescent-shaped monument Wachtel noted. As such, the monument may have helped mark the town's borders. While the monument is located within walking range of the city it is too far away to be an effective fortification.
The structure is about 150 meters (492 feet) long and 20 m (66 feet) wide at its base, and is preserved to a height of 7 m (23 feet), Wachtel's research found.
"The estimation of working days invested in the construction [of] the site is between 35,000 days in the lower estimate [and] 50,000 in the higher," Wachtel said in the email.
If the lower estimate is correct, it means a team of 200 ancient workers would have needed more than five months to construct the monument, a task that would be difficult for people who depended on crops for their livelihood. "We need to remember that people were [obligated] most of the year to agriculture," Wachtel said.
At the time this monument was built, the site of Bet Yerah was located only 18 miles (29 km) away.
Bet Yerah was a large town with a grid plan and fortification system, according to a study detailed in 2012 in the Journal of Near Eastern Archaeology. Its inhabitants traded with the early kings of Egypt, as seen from several artifacts, including a jug with a hieroglyphic inscription.
The name Bet Yerah indicates that it was associated with the moon god. However, it's uncertain whether the town actually bore this name 5,000 years ago. In the 2012 journal article, researchers said the name "Bet Yerah" was recorded in 1,500-year-old Jewish rabbinic texts and may date back much earlier.
Other large rock structures have been found not far from the crescent-shaped monument. One structure, called Rujum el-Hiri, isin the Golan Heights (an area to the east of the Sea of Galilee) and has four circles with a rock cairn at its center. The date of this structure is a matter of debate; recent research by Mike Freikman, an archaeologist with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, suggests it may predate the crescent-shaped structure by several centuries.
Another stone monument, a giant cairn that weighs more than 60,000 tons, was discovered recently beneath the waters of the Sea of Galilee. Its date is unknown, but like the crescent-shaped structure, it is located close to Bet Yerah.
Wachtel's work at the crescent-shaped monument was conducted as part of his master's thesis.Today, people living in the area call the monument by its Arabic name, Rujum en-Nabi Shua'ayb, and it is sometimes referred to as the "Jethro Cairn," a reference to the Druze prophet Jethro, who plays an important role in local folklore.

The smallest spiders build the smallest webs. According to Mammola and his colleagues, Symphytognathidae spiders hold the record for smallest webs built. This group includes the probable smallest spider in the world, Patu digua. These spiders weave webs that are less than 0.4 inches (10 mm) wide.
Most dangerous (to humans)
Spiders rarely bite humans. In fact, researchers reported in 2013 that most of the reported spider-bites are actually simple rashes, skin infections or bites from other arthropods. "You really have to work to get bitten by a spider, because they don't want to bite you," the lead author of that study told Live Science at the time.
Still, it'd be wise to steer well clear of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus), an Australian native that can kill a human with a mere 0.2 milligrams of venom per kilogram of the victim's weight. Only about 17 percent of A. robustus bites involve a large injection of venom, though, according to a 2005 review paper; another denizen of Down Under, the Australian funnel-web spider (Hadronyche cerberea) might be more dangerous in reality, as 75 percent of its bites involve big venom doses. The good news is that there is an antivenom treatment for both.
While the vast majority of spiders couldn't hurt a human if they wanted to, most still boast venom for subduing prey. The exceptions are two spider families: Holarchaeidae and Uloboridae. According to Mammola and his co-authors, Holarchaeidae spiders (there are only a couple known species) have venom glands, but there is no opening in them, making them essentially vestigial. Uloboridae, or hackled orb weavers, puke digestive enzymes all over their prey to digest them instead of injecting them with venom.
The crab from Disney's "Moana" has nothing on the jumping spider Cosmophasis umbratica. Females of this tropical spider species are rather plain, but males are dressed to the nines. Their black, white and yellow markings all reflect ultraviolet light. In other words, they're the living version of one of those velvet blacklight posters that were so popular in the 1970s.
Scientists have found that the intensity of a male C. umbratica's shine communicates something to females about his quality as a mate. The shine is risky, though; researchers have also found that predators, such as the jumping spider Portia labiate, cue in to the ultraviolet reflections when pouncing on their prey.
It's rare to track a given spider throughout its life span, but at least one Australian arachnid lived to an impressive 43 years of age. The spider, a trapdoor spider (Gaius villosus), which unwittingly participated in a research project that started in 1974, probably died when a parasitic wasp broke into her burrow, scientists reported in May 2018.
While Number 16, as scientists knew her, was the longest-living spider individual, different species usually get credited as the most likely to reach retirement age. Hickmania troglodytes, the Tasmanian cave spider, likely lives for multiple decades, and some tarantulas make it to age 30 in captivity.
Not to haunt your dreams or anything, but the spider Nephila pilipes can lay more than 3,000 eggs at once — perhaps as many as 9,700, according to a 2002 paper in the journal Oikos. The largest egg mass sampled in that study weighed a quarter of an ounce (6.9 grams). That's the weight of a standard packet of bread yeast, for comparison's sake.
The very fecund spider at hand is a golden orb-web spider found in Asia and Australia. The males grow to only about 0.2 inches (5 mm) in body length, while those egg-laying females can be nearly 2 inches (50 mm) long.
Trap-jaw spiders are tiny, but deadly. Their chelicerae, the little claw-like appendages by a spider's mouth, are capable of snapping shut on prey in a fraction of a second. The fastest recorded, a species of Zearchaea, completed its attack in a stunning 0.00012 seconds. (It took high-speed videography to even see what was happening.)
Trap-jaw spiders, known scientifically as Mecysmaucheniidae, live in New Zealand and South America. They get their jaw power from adaptions in their muscles and muscle attachments that essentially make their jaws act like a coiled spring, poised to explode with energy when triggered.
Evarcha culicivora is probably the pickiest eater of the spider world. This jumping spider from East Africa prefers to chow down only on female mosquitoes that have recently drunk their fill of blood.
This preference for a meal with a meal inside has made E. culicivora quite interesting to scientists, because blood-feeding mosquitoes from the genus Anopheles are the vector for the spread of malaria, which kills more than a million people each year. Some researchers have suggested that the spiders might be one way to control the population of Anopheles mosquitoes.
It doesn't seem possible that much of anything lives in Oymyakon, Russia, much less spiders. But 55 different species call this tiny, insanely frigid town home. Oymyakon is barely south of the Arctic Circle and is the site of the coldest temperatures ever recorded outside of Antarctica. In 2013, the town's weather hit negative 98 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 72 degrees Celsius), its official low. In January 2017, USA Today pointed out that the temperature in Oymyakon at the time was down to negative 88 F (minus 67 C), which is colder than the average temperature on Mars.
The spiders that live in Oymyakon are hardy steppe and forest species, according to a 2004 paper in the journal Arthropoda Selecta. They are typically rather unassuming-looking creatures like Arctella lapponica, a little brown spider also known as a meshweaving spider, or Philodromus alascensis, a spindly species that is part of a family known as the running crab spiders.
Mammola and his colleagues crowned Argyroneta aquatica the spider species with the strangest habitat, but we're feeling confident in calling this spider the weirdest all around. Better known as the diving bell spider, A. aquatica is the only spider to live a completely aquatic lifestyle.
The spider breathes underwater thanks to special hairs on its abdomen that repel water and trap air, making it possible for the spider to swim without drowning. It also creates a "diving bell" out of spider silk and air bubbles from the surface, which provides a safe base of operations underwater. These two adaptations allow the spiders to hunt small fish and underwater invertebrates, molt, mate and lay eggs, all underwater, according to a 2011 paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology. Within days of emerging from their eggs in their mother's diving bell, hatchlings head out into the world, spinning tiny new diving bells of their own.

Hidden cameras are small devices that can film or photograph people without them knowing. They come in different shapes and sizes, but all of them operate in the same way: by being concealed within something else, they can take photos or videos without anyone ever knowing. There are a few things to keep in mind when using a hidden camera:
- First and foremost, make sure you have the consent of those you want to film or photograph. If someone is unaware that they’re being filmed, their privacy will be protected. However, if they know they’re being filmed and consent is not given, footage may still be seized as evidence.
- Secondly, make sure your camera is secure. If it’s easily accessible or stolen, it could be tampered with or even used against you. Consider placing it inside a hidden container or installing an invisible security system to make sure it remains undetected.
- Last but not least, be aware of the laws in your area regarding hidden cameras. In some cases, filming or photographing individuals without their consent may be illegal under certain circumstances. It’s always best to consult with an attorney if you have any doubts about your legal rights or responsibilities.
How to install a hidden camera?
If you want to keep an eye on what’s happening in your home or business while you’re away, a hidden camera is the perfect solution. Here we’ll show you how to hide security camera outside yourself, from start to finish by forbel. First things first: you need to decide where you want the camera to be positioned. You can mount it on the wall or inside a cupboard, for example, but it’s worth bearing in mind that a hidden camera will give you a much narrower field of view than a regular one – so you might want to consider positioning it somewhere that won’t be of much use to you otherwise.
Once you know where you want the camera to go, the next step is to get yourself some supplies. You’ll need a suitable power supply (usually supplied with hidden cameras), cable ties, some glue (for attaching the camera onto the surface), and a digital camera. To install the camera, first connect the power supply to it and plug the cable ties into the appropriate ports. Then put some glue onto one of the cable ties and attach it to one of the corners of your chosen location. Finally, screw in your
How to use a hidden camera?
Hidden cameras come in all shapes and sizes, but the basic principle is always the same: you place the camera somewhere where you think no one will notice it, and then watch the footage or pictures that it records without anyone knowing. There are a few different ways to use a hidden camera, so let’s take a look at some of them.
The most popular way to use a hidden camera is to place it inside or outside of a building. You can use this method to capture footage of people in the office, for example, or to watch what’s going on inside the house when you’re away. You can also use a hidden camera to catch people in compromising situations (like cheating on their spouses). You can also use a hidden camera to spy on people who are not necessarily suspects. For example, you might want to monitor your teenage son’s activities in order to make sure he’s behaving himself. You can also use a hidden camera to spy on your significant other while they’re sleeping – this is a popular technique used by divorce lawyers.
How to hide a hidden camera?
There are a few different ways to hide a camera outside.
- One method is to place the camera in a container, such as a plastic bag.
- Another way is to place the camera inside of a plant.
- A final way is to place the camera in a secure location, such as behind a door or in a hidden corner.
What to look for in a Good Hiding Camera?
When it comes to hiding a camera, accuracy is key. That’s why we recommend looking for cameras with high-quality lenses and sensors. Plus, make sure the camera has a good battery life so you can keep recording uninterrupted. Here are some other features to consider when shopping for a hidden camera:

Find the best deal on a used car by following our tips
August 21, 2023
For many people with modest financial means, buying an older car can be a better option than purchasing a brand-new one. Buy here pay here is not without its challenges, but there are also risks. When shopping for a pre-owned car, you can benefit from the considerations below. Read this?
Establish a maximum budget: Prior to shopping for an used car, it is important to determine how much cash you have to spend. Do not think only about the price but also your ongoing costs, such as petrol, insurance and repair. Prior to purchasing a second-hand car, you should do your research. The maintenance, repair and accident history records of the automobile are important. You can get this information from a vehicle’s history report.
Look for potential problems. Driving the vehicle is the only way to judge its quality of handling and riding. It is important to consider the impact of mileage and age on the condition of a vehicle. If you’re buying a pre-owned car, it is even more important. In general, it is preferable to purchase a used car because the mileage has been lower. If you’re shopping for a vehicle, prioritize safety and look for features like anti-lock braking, airbags, or stability control. When you buy a used car, if these features are not included you might want to add them aftermarket.
When in doubt, hire a mechanic to inspect the vehicle. If you are able to accurately assess the condition of a car, it may help prevent future issues. When you are sure that a car will suit your needs, then it is time to bargain the price. A seller who is serious about selling you a car may agree to lower the price. | <urn:uuid:f85be223-3880-46d3-98a8-34a3ed5bec91> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lolug.net/find-the-best-deal-on-a-used-car-by-following-our-tips/ | 2023-09-27T11:09:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.964088 | 370 |

The year 2020 is one challenge to stock market investors, for it has shaved off a third of the global market. With the raging pandemic, most investors have negative sentiments like never before. Here is how Money Map Press helps readers make big profits.
The market projections are dismal, and the investors have become dismantled when they are not able to get trustable sites to get tips on dividend stocks that can help them invest wisely. Therefore investors have ended up recording mixed results. We have those who are still ripping big, and those who have recorded negative results.
Why the mixed-up results?
The reason that can come into play is the kind of information that investors get. Getting incorrect information will lead to a loss. Therefore, there is a need for the investors to learn from experts on which companies to invest in wisely.
As an enthusiastic investor who would like to continue investing even at this hard time and still make a profit, you worry no more. Some websites give financial information to investors. They provide daily tips, and stock picks for interested parties. They also offer an in-depth analysis of the situation in the financial market and recommend a promising venture.
One of the reputable financial analysis companies is Money Map Press.
The company is led by Bob Kepple and has a team of investment experts who, combined, makes over 250 years of experience. Their large tank of knowledge in the investment sector has helped them provide actionable investment ideas that have improved their subscribers to go a bit higher towards enormous wealth. Some who have made success include Ryan J, who had lost everything and had to rebuild, and James H. to make around 1,240% of the profit.
Since Money Map Press was founded in 2007, they have been clear with their goal: to make their readers’ investments profitable. For the last 13 years, the company’s experts have helped the readers register success in the previous two major global economic crises.
Two factors have made Money Map Press company to earn trust from its subscribers. First is that they do their research independently with zero financial interest. They don’t entertain any form of compensation or advertising from stock promoters or dealers of any kind.
Secondly, when the financial experts make recommendations, they do it because they believe there is enough evidence to show that the subscribers will make profits.
As mentioned, the company has helped its subscribers register profits during boom time and the two major crises, and has seen incredible growth. It has created a network of dozen members who have begun to form small groups of their own to meet and do trade on tips angel investing.
It is always advisable to learn from websites with information characterized by people who have a wealth of knowledge. As these are people whom you can trust to recommend vetted investment opportunities.
Therefore, all the best as you take your next financial step to make profits from your investment in stock dividends. | <urn:uuid:d7278366-4aa0-4876-9009-5ddefb9269f4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lostvirtualtour.com/how-money-map-press-helps-readers/ | 2023-09-27T12:05:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.97467 | 588 |
3 Halloween Patterns to Raise Your Spirits
It's nearly October and October brings Ghosts, Bats and Pumpkins to our homes. Not for real we hope!
Last year my daughter, who was 10 at the time, said she wanted to have a sugar skull painted on her face, "that sounds amazing" I replied. With some trepidation about my ability to fulfill her wish, I got onto to Google and did some research. Tanya looked puzzled and asked why I was searching for images. I explained that I wasn't sure how to do it. "Oh, that's ok", she said, "I'm going to do it and have designed the skull I want"....Mum off the hook!!!
Here's a pic, I think she did a fab job and much better than my effort would have been.
Anyway I've rambled on again and actually started this post to tell you about the 3 bookfolding patterns I have for you to fold for Halloween.
You can find them on my Etsy shop HERE | <urn:uuid:d6007b10-a119-49cc-b1f4-96b7f161fbbf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lovebookfolding.com/single-post/2015/09/18/3-halloween-patterns-to-raise-your-spirits | 2023-09-27T12:54:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.989922 | 219 |

There has been increasing talk of the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) developing a new currency that will rival the US dollar as the global reserve standard. This month, the leaders of BRICS will meet in South Africa for further discussions on the matter. Growing pressure for a new global currency comes after continued weaponisation of the US dollar in the form of sanctions and trade wars. Many countries are seeking greater independence from the US financial system. But what makes the US dollar today’s world reserve currency?
Following the end of the Second World War, the Allies gathered at Bretton Woods and anointed the US dollar as the world’s principal reserve currency. It was pegged against gold at an exchangeable rate of $35 an ounce. However, in 1971 the dollar was decoupled due to insufficient US gold reserves rendering the dollar fiat money. A few years later, US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger visited King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to broker the petrodollar system. The United States agreed to provide military support and, in return, the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would denominate oil globally in US dollars. This created synthetic demand – countries buying oil would need US dollars – which in turn enabled US dollar primacy.
However, the dollar dominance may be coming to an end. In 2021, Saudi Arabia and Russia signed a military cooperation agreement. The United States was no longer the sole protector of the Saudi Kingdom. Moreover, at this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Saudi Arabia’s Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan announced that the country was open to trading in other currencies in addition to the US dollar – something they haven’t done in nearly 50 years. The signals of de-dollarisation were emerging.
During the 2022 BRICS summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the bloc was working to create an “international reserve currency”. This will again be on the agenda for the 15th annual BRICS summit this month. It is speculated that the BRICS currency will be backed by gold – this would be a historic return of the gold standard and bring stability to the new currency.
Indeed, central banks are already stockpiling gold reserves. According to the IMF World Gold Council, the first two months of this year saw the largest purchases of gold from Singapore (51.4 tonnes), Türkiye (45.5 tonnes), China (39.8 tonnes), Russia (31.1 tonnes) and India (2.8 tonnes). It seems clear that BRICS countries are accumulating gold in preparation for their new currency (noting Türkiye, among many others, has applied for BRICS membership). Meanwhile, we see a declining share of US dollars held by central banks, according to the IMF Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves (COFER). Countries are positioning themselves for a new international system.
For decades, the United States has been considered the global hegemon. However, BRICS nations now account for more than 40 per cent of the world’s population and have an aggregated global GDP of 31.5 per cent. This surpasses the G7’s (United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom) GDP of 30.7 per cent. It’s conceivable to see BRICS nations entirely self-sufficient, trading among themselves without any reliance on the United States. This may well be China’s plan, given the extent of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) – the largest infrastructure development project in history aiming to connect Asia and Africa, Europe and South America. The United States is noticeably excluded.
Despite China–India relations alternating between détente and antagonism, both countries seem willing to cooperate to some extent, with India participating and investing in the BRI on a proxy basis through the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, New Development Bank and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Additionally, seven of the 13 OPEC countries have also joined or applied to join the BRICS, and all OPEC countries are connected in the BRI. The future geopolitical and economic environment is being shaped, and the United States appears not to be a part of it.
As the reliance on US dollars diminishes, central banks will begin dumping their dollar reserves. This will result in hyperinflation, a spike in interest rates to compensate for the loss of purchasing power, and falling asset prices, further accelerating US decline. The trend of de-dollarisation is occurring – but it is not something unique. The rise and fall of empires and reserve currencies are apparent throughout history – from the Dutch Empire and the guilder to the British Empire and the pound sterling, and now the US Empire and the dollar. There will inevitably be a shift in the world order, and it may well be the BRICS’ time. | <urn:uuid:6b6585ca-732c-444c-93f3-9b46530455e8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/de-dollarisation-shifting-power-between-us-brics | 2023-09-27T12:27:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.932557 | 999 |

Yesterday Apple announced Jony Ive is leaving to form his own company. John Gruber’s take is excellent. This is the kind of subject that John just nails. The only thing I’d add is the same advice I tell everyone when a perceived “irreplaceable” person leaves a job. Everyone is replaceable. The big question is whether Apple still considers design with the same priority it did before. It’s arguable that ship sailed when Steve Jobs died. Either way, the sky isn’t falling. | <urn:uuid:86d7d803-5ad8-4cfa-adba-98c8bc40d927> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.macsparky.com/blog/2019/06/farewell-jony/ | 2023-09-27T11:29:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.963562 | 113 |

Today's Daily Doodle is honoring a woman who helped me see the excitement of barrel racing. I was able to create a video of her and her horse during the NBHA California State Finals. Filming an event brings new appreciation for me, capturing little details and telling a story through people, places, and things I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
Women had been competing in rodeos in various ways since the 1880s when Buffalo Bill Cody hired Annie Oakley, the best known woman gun handler of the day. Buffalo Bill discovered that fans would flock to his wild west shows to see her perform. But the decision to include women bronc riders, relay race riders, and so on, was always at the discretion of the men producing the event.
The 1931 Stamford, Texas, Cowboy Reunion, a weekend rodeo, decided to add girls, sixteen years and older, who were sponsored by their area businesses and represented the community they came from. The girls would lead the parade, participate in various minor rodeo activities and be available to visit and dance with the cowboys at the social events held each evening. The following year the young ladies were given prizes for 1. the best mount, 2. the most attractive riding outfit, and 3. the best horsemanship. The horsemanship pieces was demonstrated by riding in a figure eight around two barrels. In 1935 the Stamford event changed the barrels to include third barrel and created a cloverleaf pattern. In 1948, a group of 38 women in San Angelo, Texas formed the GRA (Girl's Rodeo Association). Historians believe that the Girls Rodeo Association was the first to hold competitive barrel racing. The GRA eventually became the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA), (which still holds many rodeo events for women to compete in, the most popular of which is barrel racing). It is suspected barrel racing was not judged strictly by the shortest time until 1949, a year after the start of the GRA.
There are no ‘official measurements’ for barrel racing. The Standard of the barrel racing pattern, according to the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association Rule Book, is, “ninety feet between barrel one and two, one hundred five feet between barrel one and three, and between barrel two and three. Sixty feet from barrels one and two to the score line. The score line should be at least sixty feet from the end of the arena, if allowed, and not less than forty five feet.’
Pendleton Round-Up has the most non-conforming and the largest barrel racing pattern in the country, by far. It covers more than double the Standard. The Pendleton RoundUp has a grass infield and is difficult for horses, both roping horses and broncs, because of the slippage. However, the grass is a tradition and Pendleton has no intention of changing it. Professional barrel racers wanted to participate in this prestigious rodeo, but did not want to jeopardize the safety of their horses because of the grass. It was decided to place the barrels on the race track, which surrounds the grass infield in 1999. Since the pattern is more than twice the size of the Standard pattern, 288 feet between barrel one and two, and 288 feet between the second and third barrel, and sixty feet from the score line. Times are in the twenty-eight second range to win.
Mildred Farris, barrel racing pioneer, whose competitive years spanned the 1950s until 1971, and was a Girl’s Rodeo Association director, vice-president and president from 1965 to 1971, remembers the days when she and others in her era were trying to get barrel racing included at rodeos across the country. She mentioned in those days the prizes for barrel racing were not comparable to the men’s events. If the men’s bronc riding or roping paid $400 to win, the barrel racing paid around $100 to the winner. She is quite proud to say that in today’s rodeo the WPRA-sanctioned barrel racing events pay comparable monies to the PRCA-sanctioned events, such as bronc riding, roping competitions, etc.
Charmayne James has been the most consistent winner of the World Champion Barrel Racer, with eleven titles between 1984 and 2002. She has also won the average at the National Finals Rodeo seven times. Her horse, Scamper, was inducted in to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, and has been chosen as The Horse With the Most Heart by WPRA six years. Her accomplishments in barrel racing have surpassed any other competitor to date. She also leads the list of Career Earnings in WPRA, with almost two million dollars.
Barrel racing has come a long way in a relatively short period of time. In seventy years the sport boasts prizes equal to all other rodeo events. Springing from a beginning as a way of judging young ladies in a contest emphasizing their beauty, attire and horsemanship, to a sport that can require the rider and their special mount, to race against the clock with speed and agility around the barrels and across the final barrier. This didn’t happen without the hard work, tenacity and ‘never say die’ will of many who were convinced the sport of barrel racing had a place along side bronc riding, steer wrestling and the roping events. | <urn:uuid:b391be3b-8a19-4bc3-9655-62ae2b42b002> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.madmysha.com/post/when-did-barrel-racing-start | 2023-09-27T11:12:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.973329 | 1,114 |
This is the month of love and our loyal customers have shown us some love with their testimonials about our customer service, plumbing service, HVAC service and bathroom remodeling.
“When my garbage disposal started leaking I knew who to call…I just didn’t know how I would ever find the time to be home so Maeser could make the necessary repairs. Not only did they work around my complicated schedule, they were on time, explained everything including all of my options, and worked in a very efficient manner. Their technicians are always professional and polite! I know Maeser will always be there for me when I need them – just as they always have!” – K.M.
“Tim was very thorough, definitely knowledgeable of HVAC work and duties, concentrated attention on details of the system, and provided explicit information re any questions that I asked of him. The total professional! As a matter of fact, I am going to request him when I make my appointment for Fall service.” – Bernie
“I have my A/C serviced annually, so when my sink decided to stop working properly I called Maeser. The service tech arrived on time and promptly completed the job. He ensured the area was clean prior to leaving as well as providing tips to prevent future sink “back-ups.” I will continue to use Maeser for my plumbing and A/C needs.” – Stephanie
“Technicians were very professional and willing to discuss various solutions. It was clear their goal was a great customer experience.” – Brian
“This was a great experience. Setting up an appointment was very easy and the person on the phone was very nice. The gentleman that came to my home was very professional, even using shoe booties so he didn’t track in dirt. While fixing my furnace, he was explaining what he was doing, the importance of maintenance and the why behind it. He was very nice to my wife and their price was very reasonable compared to other companies I had shopped before making my selection.” – John
“My husband and I hired Maeser to completely gut and remodel our master bath. We shopped several competitors before deciding to work with Maeser. I can’t tell you how pleased we were with the results, the entire process and the level of service we received. The bath looks wonderful, the quality and attention to detail were above and beyond. Likely the best tile job we have ever seen and my husband knows his stuff!” – Brandy

Breach of OSA if Hamzah keeps, shares govt secrets, experts say
Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin can be jailed for one to seven years under Section 8, Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972 if he divulges secret government information.
(Sinar Daily) – This comes after the former home minister said he had access to documents about government leaders when he was the minister.
Sultan Zainal Abidin Universiti’s Faculty of Law and International Relations Head, Dr Hussain Yusri Zawawi claimed that individuals who leak government secrets through Whatsapp, Facebook and other social media platforms violate the integrity of civil servants and their oath of secrecy.
“Malaysia has legal provisions that can be imposed on offenders base on the Public Officers Regulations 1993 or the Official Secrets Act 1972.
“Under Section 8 (1) of the act, it is an offence for those who are not authorised to possess or control any official secret, keep it, use it, communicate it or fail to keep it well. | <urn:uuid:d9aa6639-ef5a-4dcb-a6cf-44f6526711bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.malaysia-today.net/2023/03/14/breach-of-osa-if-hamzah-keeps-shares-govt-secrets-experts-say/ | 2023-09-27T12:53:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.926081 | 223 |
Inside the Programme
Mid-year Workshop Reflection: Becoming the seeds of change
Merlyn Nkomo shares some insight into the experience of confronting the immense loss and uncertainty of Covid-19, while tackling the reconciliation workshop online.
At the beginning of the COVID19 global pandemic crisis, I had said that this year is truly the year of dynamic leadership from the global to the household level. I had not anticipated then that this year would also challenge me this much, to be part of the first cohort of Mandela Rhodes Scholars to engage on a virtual platform. Although I thought reconciliation is too complex a topic to tackle through a screen I was very exceedingly impressed by what everyone achieved.
Over the three weeks of online modules, I was challenged and my preconceptions of what reconciliation is were blown out of orbit. We the scholars dug deep, mined each other of gems of thoughts and experiences and walked, not in the other’s shoes but next to each other. Each of the lessons uncovered layers of what reconciliation truly means and I managed to locate myself on its varied landscapes. I am better equipped now than I was before to confront issues in greater society where my leadership and voice is needed.
Madiba Day was a crowning moment for us as the Class of 2020. To be a part of the monumental event of the MRF's rebranding was phenomenal and reassuring to us of our place and impact as scholars in the Mandela Rhodes family. The different perspectives of reconciliation shared were telling of our diversity and the great work that is still needed to heal Africa from its past. I was surprised with the personal focus most of the sessions had as I had expected this module to be dissecting reconciliation from historical atrocities and separation agendas gripping the world today. However, an enormous mirror was set before each of us and we were reminded to be the change we wanted to see in the world.
As young leaders, we have been called to take up this challenge and be seeds of change in our communities, but seeds germinate first from within, fighting the internal struggle until they are seen as green sprouts of life. Virtual time and life in a global pandemic did not allow us to tackle all the issues that need reconciling to each of us, our families and nations represented. Nevertheless, we are better placed and equipped to champion these conversations and actions as they matter most to each of us. | <urn:uuid:4185ba89-83a8-4b18-b4d6-396af041a640> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mandelarhodes.org/news-impact/programme/mid-year-workshop-reflection-becoming-the-seeds-of-change/ | 2023-09-27T12:00:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.975922 | 486 |
Iowa DNR probes manure spill
January 23, 2014 by Globe Gazette
January 23, 2014, Dows, IA – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is investigating a spill estimated at 500 to 1,000 gallons of liquid manure from an empty swine nursery facility near Dows.
The spill occurred when employees were draining the under-building manure storage pits, the DNR said. As they transferred manure to a lagoon, the drain line plugged. With nowhere to go, manure ran out of a cleanout port in the drain line, flowing under the snow to a tile inlet, through the underground tile, discharging into a drainage ditch that flows to the Iowa River.
