The Armenian President likely to make a final decision on draft concept of constitutional reforms in February-March, 2015, President’s Spokesman Arman Saghatelyan told Tert.am.
Tert.am: Mr Saghatelyan, on October 15, the Commission for Constitutional Reforms submitted a draft concept of constitutional reforms to the Armenian presidential staff. What are the further steps?
“Yes, the presidential staff received the draft concept of constitutional reforms. Since the Commission for Constitutional Reforms was formed, enormous work has been done, and the president thanked the Commission. The president also highly appreciates the Commission’s efforts to organize public discussions of the draft concept.
“We are also grateful to all the public and political figures and organizations, local government bodies, experts that have actively been involved in this all-important process.
“At present, we have a positive opinion by the Venice Commission. According to it, the draft concept ‘is based on a comprehensive legal analysis of the situation,’ and ‘the reform thus aims at bringing the country closer to the full realization of the values of the Council of Europe.’
“As regards further steps, they are envisaged by the president’s decree of September 4, 2013. It is up to the president to approve or reject the draft concept. No deadline has been set for that.
“On the other hand, since some of the issues incorporated in the draft concept contain an explicitly political component, further political discussions are expected. Therefore, the Armenian president is likely to make a definitive decision on the draft concept next February-March.” | <urn:uuid:2d58f696-2e9f-4fff-9dc9-7bb80ce5746c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://en.armradio.am/2014/10/17/armenian-president-likely-to-make-final-decision-on-constitutional-reforms-in-february-march-2015/ | 2023-09-28T16:42:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960081 | 341 |
Armenia is to become a full-fledged member of the Eurasian Economic Union after all ratification procedures are complete in the union members, but no earlier than on January 1, 2015.
Russia’s parliamentary upper house, the Federation Council, has ratified a treaty for Armenia’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union on Wednesday, TASS reports.
The accord was signed at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Union by the presidents of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia in Minsk on October 10. The deal is a basic document determining agreements between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan on the terms of Armenia’s joining the Eurasian Economic Union seeking to lay a legal basis for functioning of the common Union.
The accord plans Armenia to become a full-fledged member of the Eurasian Economic Union from the moment the treaty takes effect, so, after all ratification procedures are complete in the union members, but no earlier than on January 1, 2015. In particular, during the transitional period Armenia as a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) should revise its tariff liabilities under the WTO rules.
Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have signed a treaty founding the Eurasian Economic Union in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana on May 29, 2014 which will take effect on January 1, 2015. On October 10, Armenia inked the deal and Kyrgyzstan plans to become its next signatory nation.

A new platform has been making waves recently in the crypto community by guaranteeing that you can make as much as 45% a year on your Bitcoin.
ArbiSmart is a fully automated, EU licensed, crypto arbitrage platform that enables you to deposit funds in fiat or crypto and then get on with your day while the platform’s advanced AI-based algorithm earns you a steady, reliable passive income.
How is that possible? What if the Bitcoin price drops?
Crypto arbitrage is considered as one of the lowest-risk forms of investing. The reason is that unlike regular digital currency trading, crypto arbitrage involves taking advantage of a scenario where a single currency can temporarily be available at different prices, at the same time, on multiple exchanges.
Bitcoin’s overall price trajectory is irrelevant to the ArbiSmart platform’s ability to earn you a profit. The automated system can perform multiple tasks simultaneously, with unparalleled speed and efficiency. It scans 35 different exchanges at once to identify a coin displaying short-term price disparities. The system buys the coin where it is being offered at the lowest available price then instantly sells it on the exchange where it is going for the highest available price to make a profit, before the temporary price difference gets resolved.
Can ArbiSmart be trusted with my savings?
One of the major selling points of ArbiSmart is that the company is EU licensed. As a fully regulated financial services provider it complies with strict requirements designed to protect the integrity of client accounts. There is mandatory oversight, with regular external auditing, as well as safeguards including an insurance fund to cover all client capital, anti-money laundering and ID verification procedures, plus the highest-level security checks, data encryption and security protocols.
In addition, the easy accessibility to support shows that the company takes accountability to its clients seriously. Platform users can receive dedicated, personal support via multiple channels and not just be stuck with some mindless chat bot.
When it comes to any new player in crypto though, the main test is what the community thinks.
What are people saying about the company?
Well, looking at social media sites like Facebook, Telegram and Twitter, there seem to be no red flags and the feedback is, overall, very positive. The company has a great reputation and some pretty enthusiastic client reviews.
Do I have to wait a whole year to see a profit?
The ArbiSmart platform offers annual returns ranging from 10.8% to 45%, depending on the amount you deposit. The company lays out the exact amount you can expect to earn at each of the account levels both on an annual and a monthly basis.
For example, if you deposit €25,000, you will make 24% a year, which is €6,000 in passive income, and on a monthly basis you will be earning 2%, which equals €500. Profits are earned daily and can be withdrawn in Bitcoin Ethereum or Euro at any time. So, the money you receive will be calculated up until the exact day of withdrawal.
Profits are actually likely to be even higher than the numbers guaranteed by ArbiSmart, since when you register with ArbiSmart and deposit currency, your funds are converted into RBIS, the platform’s native token, and then used for crypto arbitrage trading. This means that in addition to your arbitrage profits you will also be earning capital gains on the steadily increasing value of the token. Not only has RBIS risen in value by 120% in the 18 months since its introduction, but it is experiencing incredible growth as the liquidity and popularity of the platform increases. In the next 18 months alone, it is projected to go up by 3,000%.
ArbiSmart seems to be living up to the hype, with a secure, regulated platform, professional, personal assistance and of course, most importantly, unmatched passive income from your Bitcoin, with almost no risk.

Game review Dash Quest
Dash Quest (Treadmill Quest) is an excellent continuation of the unusual pixel role-playing application that all lovers of the old school will appreciate.
Caught at the same table with the hero represented, we can communicate with him and with his help to choose missions for passage, as well as the number of rivals with whom it will be necessary to engage in battle.
At the beginning of the game path, the table has only two chairs, so we have the opportunity to pick up two characters. Here we must decide on the race: the elf, the man or the dwarf, and choose the class to which our hero will relate. Also it is necessary to form a set of other attributes. Then the choice is behind the mission, in which, together with the master, we find ourselves in the village, where we are faced with battles with monsters and bandits.
In addition, during the battle you can use magic tricks and various objects that give certain privileges. Also, there is an opportunity to improve the interior in the game room, so it is possible to obtain a large number of benefits. Among the latter, it is possible to replace the wooden table with stone furniture, while the heroes are additionally protected in battle.

Game review Mini Guns
Mini Guns (Mini Guns) is a cute toy strategy game based on the Clash Royale principle.
At the beginning of the game process you will need to go through a bit of a boring learning process, where you will be helped to understand all the intricacies of the application. Due to Russian localization, you can, if you wish, fully understand not only the management features, but also the idea that the developers tried to invest in their creation.
In the application there will even be a good variety in the types of units, some of which can be unique and have strong abilities. The strategy will have two combat modes: PvP with other gamers, and a campaign with single missions.
Our strategy will please gamers, albeit simple, but very interesting and non-trivial graphics, which, when paired with dynamic animation, looks magically. We also need to remember the good musical accompaniment.
Small, but still a minus is a very limited number of cards. Everything will happen in one location, which will become more and more boring with demanding gamers with each level.

In the cities everything you throw away disappear immediately. The urban wastes do not last long. Between use and destruction the lapse in no longer than 24 hours. Their freedom is short, they do not have much time to talk to me. I meet their souls in a run down flat, on a building site, a pavement. Some are peaceful some gloomy. I follow them to the rubbish and take pictures of their last moments.

RUDN signs a cooperation agreement with Toulouse II University (France)
25 September, the delegation of University Toulouse II headed by President Mr.Lacroix visited RUDN University.
The parties signed a bilateral cooperation agreement on exchanging bachelor and master students majoring in linguistics.
«The agreement will help develop scientific and academic cooperation between RUDN and Toulouse II in philosophy, history and engineering», said RUDN Rector Vladimir Filippov.
Already by the end of 2017, the parties are going to sign a working program that will allow RUDN and Toulouse II students doing a dual-degree Master program.
Toulouse II University was founded in 1229. It is famous for its very strong Law school. In 1896, it was divided into 7 structures, one of them is Toulouse II University, which is one of TOP-150 universities in archeology according to QSWU Ranking. There are more than 4,000 international students of bachelor and postdoc programs.
RUDN University is the only university that represented Russia at the international educational exhibition “EDUGATE 2023” in Egypt, which brought together 90 leading universities from 12 countries from Algeria and Morocco to the USA and Germany.
In August, a delegation from Ghana met with the Russian Union of Potato and Vegetable Producers, an industrial partner of RUDN University. Representatives of the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (Ghana), led by the mayor of Accra, visited the agricultural company “Virgin Alliance” in the Tula region. The excursion was organized by the Agricultural and Technological Institute of RUDN University.
While someone is on summer holidays, RUDN students of economics keep studying. They went to hot Zambia at the invitation of the Graduate School of Business of the University of Zambia for two weeks of the summer school “Russia-Zambia: Economic Opportunities and Prospects”. | <urn:uuid:35c3a002-fbf3-4027-90df-9b6f3c64b743> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eng.rudn.ru/media/news/international-cooperation/rudn-signs-a-cooperation-agreement-with-toulouse-ii-university-france/ | 2023-09-28T17:19:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937559 | 411 |
The second annual Innovation Forum at the School of Engineering and Applied Science Feb. 27 showcased emerging technology ranging from a novel laser eye surgery technique to a new way to improve security on the Internet.
Eleven University researchers each delivered a three-minute “pitch” to a near-capacity crowd of investors, students and community members. After the formal presentations, researchers discussed their innovations at a reception, where posters explaining the research were displayed.
“It’s all about cross-pollination,” said Bill Martin of JumpStart New Jersey, a local angel investor network that invested $4 million last year in early stage entrepreneurial endeavors. The Innovation Forum was co-sponsored by JumpStart, Princeton’s School of Engineering and the University’s Office of Technology Licensing.
“I have seen an enormous growth in these types of activities at the University,” said John Ritter, director of the Office of Technology Licensing. Ritter said that every year his office receives from 85 to 100 disclosures of inventions from University researchers and executes from 15 to 25 licensing agreements.
Some of the presenters included:
Szymon Suckewer, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, who presented a new way to correct near-sightedness using an ultra-short pulse laser. Suckewer said that the technique was an improvement over Lasik surgery because it offers more precise, less-invasive cutting.
David Wood, assistant professor of chemical engineering, who presented research on effective screening systems for the discovery of compounds that bind to hormone receptors and thus may help identify treatments for diseases such as breast cancer or pinpoint environmental toxins.
Craig Arnold, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, who discussed a new adaptive optic element. “It is simple, low-cost and has advantages over existing technologies in piezoelectrics,” said Arnold.
Douglas Adamson, a researcher at the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), who presented research supported by a grant from Hallibruton Energy Services on a new, more efficient way to create polymersomes – tiny polymer balloons that have a wide range of commercial uses, from drug delivery to cosmetics.
Sudhakar Govindavajhala, a postdoctoral researcher in the department of computer science who as part of MulVAL Technologies is applying automated logic analysis tools to identify vulnerabilities in computer networks. In 2006 MulVAL, established by Andrew Appel, professor of computer science, was one of nine University projects to receive a New Jersey Council of Science and Technology “gap funding” grant. “Our mission is to change network security from being reactive to being proactive,” Govindavajhala said. “The point of MulVAL is to discover security holes before they become a problem.”
The Innovation Forum is part of EntrepreneurshipWeek USA.

When faced with critical decisions, many of us tend to freeze up, for fear of making the wrong choice. But making choices is an essential part of life. What some call “destiny” or “karma” is made up of endless small and big decisions that have consequences.
Most of us can deal with small daily choices without difficulty – such as what to eat for lunch, or which show to binge on – but when the stakes are higher, it’s easy for us to be assailed by doubt and over-analysis, causing us to hesitate for far too long.
To help people get out of these jams, David Cabero – the European director for French manufacturer BIC – has written a book titled Deciding in Times of Peace and War, which offers some practical steps we can all take when faced with tough choices.
Three of the main suggestions in the book are the following:
- Challenge the idea. When it comes to a decision with important consequences, one way to test it is to try to break it down with tough questions. For instance: what would be the reasons for not making said decision? If you can’t find at least one good reason, it means the idea may be viable.
- Generate multiple options. Sometimes, the choice isn’t between A and B. The range of options is often much broader. Perhaps there’s a meeting point between A and B, or another alternative that has not yet occurred to us.
- Dare to be wrong. Cabero writes that, “in life, there are times when we cannot choose not to decide, since certain contexts force us to do so.” Being prepared to assume the consequences of our choices is the first step to making decisions without fear. It’s better to err and correct the course, rather than to simply sit on the sidelines of life.
The author and business executive points out how “in general terms, in Europe, we have a greater aversion to risk than in the United States. Clearly, that’s an advantage for them and a disadvantage for us.”
But how can we make tough calls when we have no previous experience with the subject at hand? Russ Roberts – an economist and researcher at Stanford University’s right-leaning Hoover Institution – tried to answer this question in an article in The New York Times, in which he told an anecdote from the life of Charles Darwin.
In 1838, Darwin was close to turning 30 – which, in those days, given the average life expectancy, meant that you were likely halfway through your passage on Earth. He sat down and tried to find out if it was a good idea for him to get married. To help make this decision, he compiled a list of what he thought might be the advantages of being married, as well as the advantages of staying single.
In the left column, he noted some of the benefits of getting married, such as “having constant company” or “having an object for love and play – in a way, better than a dog.” In the right column, among the benefits of being single, he wrote: “Not being forced to visit relatives or bow down to any trifle.”
Roberts defines this dilemma as a “wild decision,” when the path of life forks and there is no way of knowing which is the best route to take. Other vital choices, such as having children or not, or leaving your job to start your own business, fall into the “wild” category – outcomes won’t be clear until further down the road. And, as failure or unhappiness are perfectly possible, the real decision is often about potential risks, rather than potential gains.
Returning to Darwin: at first, the advantages of bachelorhood were more numerous than the advantages of marriage – he felt that a partner would take away his time to conduct research. He chose to remain single… but less than a year later, he married his cousin Emma Wedgwood. The couple would have 10 children, seven of whom would live into adulthood.
Ultimately, Darwin’s marriage didn’t prevent him from doing research, proving that wild decisions can’t always be made exclusively from a place of reason. Just as Darwin didn’t hesitate after falling in love with Emma, the heart is a good consultant for this kind of dilemma. When a path fills us with purpose and hope – no matter how risky it may seem – life is telling us that we will have enough strength to follow it.
In her book, The Game of Life – published following the renewed interest in chess generated by The Queen’s Gambit – Adriana Hernández draws a parallel between the board and the decisions we make each day. In the game – as in life – those who have no plans are dragged along by the plans of others. Perhaps, for this reason, Frank Marshall – an American chess player who dominated the game in the early-20th century – said: “A bad plan is better than no plan at all.” By making a decision, we fully enter the game of life. Even if we’re eventually proven wrong, the journey offers us what we otherwise would have never learned or experienced. | <urn:uuid:34fc6432-2f79-4e3e-bc9c-4083e1d0fc71> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://english.elpais.com/society/2022-10-27/when-it-comes-to-tough-choices-even-a-bad-decision-is-better-than-no-decision.html | 2023-09-28T17:41:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.969705 | 1,094 |

If you use marijuana, then you have almost certainly heard of vaping. But if you’ve been kicking it old-school and sticking to traditional smoking methods, you may not know as much as you’d like to about vaping. How does it actually work, and how is it different from smoking? Is it healthier? Should you switch?
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Here’s what every marijuana user should know about vaping.
What is vaping? How is it different from smoking?
When we smoke marijuana, we literally light it on fire and breathe in the smoke. With vaping, things are a bit less extreme.
Vapes also called e-cigarettes, heat up something — usual liquids like e-cigarette juices, which sometimes come in cartridges that can be swapped out — until that substance (or active ingredients in it) are vaporized, which means turned into gas. If you’ve ever breathed in the steam from a shower or a boiling pot of water, you’ve inhaled vapor before. This is the same sort of thing.
Vapes can be used to vaporize nicotine products, which is why many smokers have switched to e-cigarettes. And you can also use vapes to vaporize something else — our favorite herb!
You can vape marijuana?
You sure can! Vaporizing just means heating up a substance until active chemicals in it have turned to gas, so we can vape marijuana simply by heating up marijuana (or THC cartridges) until the cannabinoids (especially THC, which causes most of marijuana’s high) are vaporized. Breathe in the vapor, and you’ve got a marijuana experience that doesn’t require smoking.
Is vaping healthier than smoking?
Because you’re breathing in a vapor instead of smoke, vaporizing is certainly easier on your lungs. You’ll likely find yourself coughing less, and most users feel that vaping is a better choice for athletes and others who find smoking to be a bad choice for their lung capacity and ability to perform athletically.
In terms of hard health statistics, we know for sure that vaping is a better choice, health-wise, than smoking for tobacco products (however, nicotine-based vape products are still addictive, so you might want to stick with marijuana and THC). Between the proven relative safety on the tobacco side and the universally true lung-care aspects, it seems safe to say that vaping marijuana is at least as healthy as smoking marijuana and likely healthier.
So, should you make the switch? Marijuana smoking is already pretty safe, but it surely wouldn’t hurt for you to add vaping to your existing smoke sesh options. It’s convenient, discreet, and safe. Even if you don’t end up going with the vaporizer every time, having it as an option could give your lungs a nice little break. So, yes, you should consider vaping instead of smoking your marijuana!
How can I get started vaping?
Beginning to vape marijuana instead of smoking it is extremely easy. All you’ll need is a vaporizer and something to vape.
It’s a good idea to start with a nice brand-name device such as the Exus Snap — they’re not overly pricey, and they’ll outlast the generic alternatives every time. A vaporizer that takes cartridges can be a convenient choice because they’re usually small, and it’s easy to swap in new cartridges when your old one is kicked (other vaporizers are designed to take vape fluids or even loose marijuana, rather than cartridges).
If you’re not sure what sort of vape you’d like, you could ask for tips from your local dispensary pros or check out the pieces that your friends have. Getting started as a vaper is easy, so why not make vaping a part of your routine? | <urn:uuid:83c0bdff-26d6-499d-a14c-862b40ee2eee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://entreb.com/a-marijuana-fans-guide-to-vaping/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.936546 | 807 |
A planned pregnancy is a pregnancy that is wanted and may include a couple undergoing pre-pregnancy counseling. It has an overall better outcome than an unplanned pregnancy. This blog post will provide an in-depth discussion of pre-pregnancy counseling and how it can result in a more satisfying birthing experience.
Why is pre-pregnancy counseling necessary?
Pre-pregnancy counseling is a key component of prenatal care. It helps women to understand the risks and benefits of pregnancy, to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, and to plan for a healthy pregnancy.
Pre-pregnancy counseling can help women to:
- Understand the risks and benefits of pregnancy
- Make wise choices regarding their health and well-being
- Plan for a healthy pregnancy
Pre-pregnancy counseling is an essential opportunity for women to receive information and support to make informed decisions about their health before, during, and after pregnancy.
What is the cost and process of pre-pregnancy counseling?
Pre-pregnancy counseling is an essential step for couples who are trying to conceive. It can help you and your partner understand your fertility, plan for a healthy pregnancy, and make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
The cost of pre-pregnancy counseling varies depending on the type of counseling you choose and the provider you see. The cost of pre-pregnancy counseling is frequently covered in whole or in part by insurance plans, so check with your insurer to see what coverage they provide.
Pre-pregnancy counseling typically includes a comprehensive medical history review, physical exam, and genetic testing (if indicated). Your counselor will also likely discuss your reproductive goals, family history, and potential risk factors that could impact your fertility or pregnancy. Your counselor will develop a personalized fertility plan for you and your partner based on this information.
How often are sessions held?
Pre-pregnancy counseling sessions are typically held once a week, though some couples choose to attend more frequently. How often you follow is up to you and your counselor, but most experts recommend meeting at least once a week in the weeks leading up to your baby’s due date.
What happens during a session?
Pre-pregnancy counseling sessions usually start with your counselor asking you and your partner how you’re doing. You can use it to express your thoughts, whether concerned about the pregnancy or questions about the birth itself. The rest of the session will discuss these topics and work through any issues.
What if I’m unsure whether I want to become a parent?
If you’re unsure you want to have a baby, pre-pregnancy counseling can help determine if parenthood is right for you. Your counselor can help you explore your feelings and decide if you’re ready to take on the responsibility of raising a child.
What are some good questions to ask during your session?
It would help to get the most out of it by asking key questions during your pre-pregnancy counseling session. First, you’ll want to ask about your counselor’s experience and qualifications. It will help you feel more comfortable with them and ensure they’re qualified to help you.
Next, you’ll want to ask what topics will be covered during the session. It will help you know what to expect and ensure that the session covers everything important to you.
Finally, remember to inquire about the session’s duration and cost. This way, you can plan accordingly and budget for the session ahead of time.
What should you expect after the session?
After the session, you should feel more confident about your pregnancy and your ability to cope with the challenges ahead. You will also better understand what to expect during pregnancy and childbirth. | <urn:uuid:fc7f347d-09c9-4ddb-b0d4-97e1ae6af0f5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://entrepreneursinfo.com/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-pre-pregnancy-counseling/ | 2023-09-28T17:00:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.95391 | 765 |
You must be able to articulate exactly what success means to you. Think about your goals like a summer goal: “Get fit” is not as effective as “Lose 10 pounds by December 1st.” You should set a target you can actually aim for with true precision.
Obviously, every single goal depends on your business needs, and there is no blanket target that works for every brand and retailer. However, in order for you to better analyze which goals work best, we gathered up some tips that might help you identify some key goals. Some of them are:
Have Specific Strategies
Achieving the big goals you set for yourself requires the successful execution of many smaller strategies and managing the many moving pieces involved with Amazon Advertising.
Developing specific strategies means knowing your products and being able to recognize how they can be differentiated from those of your competitors. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself :
Are some of your products high-margin? If so, you could spend a bit more to win some of your high-converting keywords.
Is your product reviewed really high compared to your competition? Perhaps targeting competitor ASINs with lower reviews makes more sense than keyword bidding.
Set Useful Reporting
What good is doing all the work if you can’t drive actionable insights? When setting up your advertising campaigns, be cognizant of your naming structures — they play a critical role in reporting.
Each campaign should be named in a way that can give you at least three major takeaways, such as:
- Brand vs. Non-Brand
- Product Type
When you pull reports and start your pivots, naming conventions like these give you a lot of information. For example, using the names above, you could pivot for all brand campaigns, all shoe campaigns, all branded shoe campaigns, etc.
These names can provide quick insights into how broad categories are performing. But don’t stop at three levels: Do what makes sense for your products and get granular with your approach:
Using of All types of Ads
To cover 100% of advertising real estate on Amazon, you have to use 100% of the tools available. As we outlined earlier, vendors and sellers have slightly different ad options.
For vendors, you have access to Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Product Display Ads.
For sellers , you have access to Sponsored Products and, if you are a registered brand, Sponsored Brands.
Each ad type has different strategies, reports, and conversion rates. Get to know them and find out what works. And also get to know the variations within each ad type. For example, auto campaigns for Sponsored Products behave differently than manual campaigns, which behave differently than ASIN and Category targeting.
All Levers Pulled
Once you’ve started experimenting with all the Amazon ad types available to you, it’s time to start pulling all the levers Amazon provides for making the most of these campaigns. That means continuous testing and optimizing of all the various features to maximize your ROI, including:
- Category and ASIN
- Refined Targeting within Sponsored Products
- Placement Bid Adjustments
- Dynamic Bidding
- New Automatic Campaign Match Types
- Automated Bidding within Sponsored Brands
- Brand Stores
- Pro Tip for Brands: Leverage the Power of the “Store”
The Stores program is Amazon’s way of giving registered brands more control on its platform. As a seller, your Store gives you the ability to curate the experience of your potential customer. It’s your opportunity to leverage the brand awareness and trust you’ve built up on Amazon.
You can create pages on your Store for a single product or multitudes of products. And just like your granular campaign structures and naming conventions, you’re able to get extremely detailed on the pages you build.
For example, if you sell makeup and brushes, you can create a page specifically for makeup and then sub-pages for different varieties (oily skin ,dry skin, normal skin, etc.). Then, you can drive traffic to these broader or specific pages through Sponsored Brands campaigns. | <urn:uuid:92502176-5b54-4a33-a04b-e7ee8555ed72> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://epinium.com/en/amazon-advertising-advaced-guide/ | 2023-09-28T17:55:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937845 | 867 |

The formal identification between a two-mode waveguide and a system of two mutually coupled single-mode waveguides stems from the symmetries of the evolution operator. When the gap tends to zero, the super-modes of the coupled system merge continuously into the modes of the multimode waveguide. For modelling purposes, it is very tempting to extend the analogy to three-mode waveguides (and beyond). But not without some precautions…

It’s not if an equine veterinarian will face an equine disease outbreak, it’s when. Knowing that at some point you will have to deal with an infectious/contagious disease in client horses, now is the time to get ready.
In episode 100 of the Disease Du Jour podcast, Cara Wright, DVM, MS, offers tips on handling an equine disease outbreak. Wright is a founding member of the Sustainability in Equine Practice Seminars, which focus on improving the wellbeing and productivity of equine veterinarians. She also is a facilitator in the Decade One and Starting Gate programs for equine vets and students. Wright joined the Professional services Team at Merck Animal Health in the summer of 2022.
Wright said the first thing veterinarians need to do is prepare for an equine disease outbreak. She focused most of her tips for the attending veterinarian for private farms and stables. Have a conversation to prepare a farm owner or manager ahead of facing a disease crisis rather than being forced to react when a horse spikes a fever.
The planning starts with determining how farms will isolate horses that come home after mingling with other horses. That could be a show, sale or trail ride. Horses returning home from a disease-free event should remain in isolation two to three weeks, said Wright. “Three to four weeks would be even better,” she added.
While that might seem like a long time, Wright said vets should remind horse owners that “incubation periods for some diseases can be up to 21 days.”
Taking each horse’s temperature twice a day can be the best way to determine which horses are getting sick. Wright said that can be done with rectal thermometers or with the new Bio-Therm microchip. That microchip allows horse managers to take a horse’s temperature with a scanner, and without touching the horse. (Editor’s note: for more about the Bio-Therm microchip visit this website.)
Wright said having a spot to quarantine or isolate a horse that is suspected of being sick is the first step. That perfect spot depends on the traffic in the barn where the horse is housed. Wright reminded veterinarians that horse owners need to understand how diseases spread. That spread can be by fomites (such as wheelbarrows, people, tools or feet) or through aerosol spread.
“Even if the horse is in the last stall at the end of the barn and can’t stick his head out the window or door, it doesn’t mean he can’t spread disease with a cough or sneeze,” reminded Wright.
Of course proper vaccination can help animals either avoid illness, not be as sick as unvaccinated animals and reduce the amount of virus spread from an infected horse.
“Remember to tell your clients that vaccination for respiratory disease is not a forcefield,” reminded Wright. “Our goals with vaccination are to decrease the level of illness and to decrease shedding, but generally we are not going to get a total blockade of disease.”

The “Stop Code System Thread Exception not Handled” is a common Windows 10 error that occurs mainly due to an outdated or incompatible driver.
It is more difficult to fix than other BSODs because multiple drivers can be causing the problem and sometimes your computer doesn’t recognize them all. For this reason, when troubleshooting this error, the first thing users should do is find the exact driver that is causing the problem.
Here’s how to fix the Stop Code System Thread Exception not Handled.
1. Boot into Safe Mode
The first step that users should take before attempting to resolve this issue is to start their computer in Safe Mode. There are several ways you can do this, depending on your settings and whether you can start your computer from the login screen:
Boot into Safe Mode via Settings
- Click the Start button and select Settings .
- Navigate to Update & Security and click Recovery .
- Under Advanced Start on Reboot Now.
- When your PC restarts you should see the Choose an option radio button.
- From here, go to Troubleshooting> Advanced Options> Startup Settings . Then click on restart
- When your PC restarts, press F5 to start your computer in Safe Mode with Networking .
On the login screen
- Just hold the Shift key and choose the Power key followed by Restart .
- Follow steps 4, 5, and 6 from the section above.
From a blank screen
- If you cannot reach the login screen, please follow the steps below.
- Press and hold your device’s power button for 10 seconds to turn it off.
- Press the power button again to start it.
- As soon as your PC starts, ie the manufacturer’s logo appears, press the power button again for 10 seconds.
- Press the power button to start the device.
- If done correctly, your computer will start the Windows file recovery environment .
- Follow steps 4, 5, and 6 from the first section.
2. Finding which driver is responsible
Since the error is most likely caused by a faulty driver, you can use the Windows log to find out which one.
To do this, just follow the steps below:
- Press Windows Key + R and type eventvwr in the Run dialog box .
- Navigate to the Windows Logs menu , expand it, and then select System.
- Look for a protocol named Stop Code System Thread Exception not Handled and click on it to find out which driver is causing the problem.
Usually the associated driver is a display driver or a network driver as these are notorious for causing this BSOD. If the associated file happens to be nvlddmkm.sys , there are a few easy ways you can look at to fix it.
3. Reset or update the drivers
Depending on which driver is responsible for the Stop Code System Thread Exception not Handled, you may need to update or reinstall its drivers.
If the driver has not been updated for a long time, updating the driver will most likely fix the problem. If the driver was recently updated, it might be best to roll back the driver or reinstall the updates.
How to update drivers on Windows 10
- Press Windows Key + R and enterdevmgmt.msc ein , um den Geräte-Manager zu öffnen.
- Navigate to the associated device and expand the menu. For example, if the error was caused by a display driver, would you display – adapter must expand option.
- Click the right mouse button on the driver and click Driver Update .
- On the subsequently displayed dialog box, click Search automatically for updated driver software .
- Windows will then automatically search the web for the latest drivers and install them.
Resetting drivers on Windows 10
- Open the Device Manager and navigate to the relevant driver.
- Expand the menu and right click on the driver.
- Click Properties .
- Click on the tab driver to reset driver .
- Windows will automatically roll back to the last available version of the driver.
4. Rename the faulty file
After getting the file name associated with the Stop Code System Thread Exception not Handled, users should rename the file. This will cause Windows to create a fresh copy and reinstall it. Driver files are located at C: Windows System32 drivers
To rename the file, do the following:
- Open File Explorer and go to C: Windows System32 drivers
- Find the affected driver
- Click on it and press F2.
- Replace the file name extension with .old .
- Hit Enter and restart your computer.
5. Use SFC and DISM to repair system files
SFC and DISM are two powerful tools that are available to any Windows user. In combination, they can find and fix almost all system-related errors. They’re pretty easy to do too.
Make sure to create a system restore point as these commands will modify the system files.
Use of DISM
- Run the command prompt as an administrator
- Enter in the console DISM / online / cleanup Image / Scan Health one and press Enter.
- Wait for Windows to finish scanning. Enter then DISM / online / cleanup-image / Restore Health a
- Windows will repair any problems found during the scan.
Use of SFC
- In the Start menu search bar, type cmd, right- click Command Prompt and run it as administrator.
- Enter sfc / scannow in the console
- Be patient as it will take Windows some time to scan and replace damaged system files.
6. Use System Restore to Restore your PC
If the problem persists, you will need to use System Restore as a last resort. System Restore is a feature that reverts Windows to an earlier state. These restore points are created regularly and when new software is installed. Alternatively, you can set Windows to create a restore point every day
Using System Restore
- In the Start menu’s search bar, type Control Panel and click Open.
- Geben Sie in der Suchleiste der Systemsteuerung die Option ” Wiederherstellung” ein und öffnen Sie sie in den Ergebnissen.
- Click on Open System Restore .
- Click Next and select a restore point from the list.
- Click on Finish.
The tips listed above provide a simple solution to the harassment that BSODs like Stop Code System Thread Exception not Handled cause. Best of all, most of the tips can also be used to diagnose many other common blue screen of death (BSOD) errors in Windows. | <urn:uuid:5d044e29-485f-4bf8-a7ee-eb35c95fe20c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://errorslab.com/stop-code-system-thread-exception-not-handled/ | 2023-09-28T17:18:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.806552 | 1,394 |

Dressage judges play an important role in the education of both riders and their horses. The marks and comments they provide can inform rider and coach of the level of training achieved and any areas that need more work. So, are you getting the full benefit from their comments and marks?
In this exciting new series, Dr Andrew and Manuela McLean, founders of the Australian Equine Behaviour Centre (AEBC) and Directors of Equitation Science International, will explain dressage judging against the backdrop of learning theory and the equitation science training scale. Breaking down the judging criteria into training deficits to help you rectify the problems and providing clear training strategies that you can build on to improve your next competition performance.
In this first part, Horses and People Editor, Cristina Wilkins, introduces the series and speaks with Andrew about his proposal to align the judging system to how the horse learns, and making dressage judging more objective and transparent.
Dressage is training
Dressage derives from the French word ‘dresser’ (meaning ‘training’) and, in its ultimate form, is considered the highest expression of horse training. At a national level, official competitions are governed by each country’s equestrian federation (e.g. Equestrian Australia), but they follow the rules set by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) (Visit http:// www.fei.org/fei/regulations/dressage).
The FEI rules state that “the object of Dressage is the development of the horse through harmonious education,” and should ultimately result in “achieving perfect understanding with the rider.”
It is widely accepted that the horse’s education or training progresses in a series of ‘steps’ – something which is reflected in each of the different levels of competition, from preliminary to Grand Prix. Horses have to demonstrate they can perform at one level before moving on to the next.
The FEI concepts of ‘harmonious education’ and ‘perfect understanding’ imply that the horse must learn how to behave or respond to the rider’s aids, whereas ‘development’ refers to the physical changes to the horse’s body that allows the horse to carry a rider in balance with increased strength and power. This ‘education’, therefore, has two components; one is cognitive (the psychological process of learning) and the other physical (the gymnastic development and strengthening of the muscles).
In the past, most of the schools and systems of riding have focused mostly on how the rider communicates with the horse; that is, if you ride well enough, your horse will perform well. However, such systems do not promote a clear understanding of how the horse learns to respond to the rider’s aids in the first place.
A good seat and accurate application of the aids are obviously important – they allow the rider to be very clear and consistent – but no one can deny that the horse has to mentally absorb, process and retain the meaning of each aid.
The cognitive process of learning has been studied extensively in behavioural psychology and is known as learning theory.
How the horse learns
Dr Andrew McLean was the first to realise that dressage training can also be explained using learning theory. Working in collaboration with Prof Paul McGreevy, a specialist in veterinary behavioural medicine who has assisted Andrew to disseminate this knowledge to the scientific world, they refined many aspects of learning theory in training. Together with his wife Manuela, he developed a complete training system that aligns with learning theory and respects the horse’s mental abilities, instinctive tendencies and biomechanical potential. This system is described in detail in the book ‘Academic Horse Training’.
In great demand as a trainer, coach and speaker, Andrew travels the world explaining to both lay and academic audiences how training works at all levels in a refreshingly simple, logical and illuminating way.
Andrew and Manuela developed the shaping scale of horse training (To view the shaping scale history review and tables we recommend you download the pdf version of this article), a systematic scale that identifies six stages of learning to perfect a response, from a basic attempt (an approximation of the correct response) to proof (where the horse responds correctly every time and in any environment).
The scale is based on the principle of shaping: reinforcing successive improvements that are approximations of the final response. Effective trainers have always known how to ‘shape’ behaviours – they analyse the components of the behaviour, and break them down into small chunks the horse can understand and store. Each chunk leads on to the next and, over time, the behaviour is perfected.
Great trainers have the skill and patience to capitalise on each tiny improvement as the only way of moving towards the final response.
In fact, Dressage Master Gustav Steinbrecht says in his book ‘Gymnasium of the Horse’: “[The training exercises] should all follow one another in such a way that the preceding exercise always constitutes a secure basis for the next one. Violations of this rule will always exert payment later on…”
Training versus judging
Recently, Andrew has turned his attention from training to dressage judging. Speaking at several 2014 international forums, including the International Equitation Science Conference and the Global Dressage Forum, Andrew put forward a proposal to make dressage judging more objective and clear by applying learning theory.
“If dressage is about training,” says Andrew, “and training animals is about using learning theory to shape the criteria of responses, then dressage judging is about de-constructing training; de-constructing what the trainers are trying to do.”
Judging in any sport should be about objectivity – facts that are probably true – rather than subjectivity, which are opinions, personal interpretations, unsubstantiated assumptions and inherent biases – but many people believe dressage is rife with subjectivity and prone to inherent biases.
Dressage professionals have highlighted problems, such as discrepancies of 30-40% between individual judges and inherent bias. In an article published by eurodressage.com, CEO of the International Riders Club and FEI competitor Wayne Channon called for judging to move into the 21st Century and nominated four levels of judging bias:
Conformity Bias – judges feeling that they have to fit in with their colleagues.
National Bias – scoring one’s own nation higher than the other judges.
Order Bias – the later a rider starts the better chance they have of a higher mark.
Memory Bias – remembering the previous marks awarded to the same horse/rider combination and awarding marks based on that performance, rather than what was actually seen on the day.
Channon points out that judging needs to be simple so judges get it; transparent so riders, coaches and the audience get it; objective so riders can trust it and; reliable so that what we value is not too complex.
Importantly, Channon declares himself “a proponent of separating the judging tasks into manageable chunks” – a statement which Andrew points out sounds just like shaping.
Far from attacking the judges, Andrew believes judges judge what they see at the time, based on the FEI training scale. His review proposal centres around enhancing the FEI training scale by making it truly scalar and aligning the elements with learning theory. In this way, the scale could be applied to every dressage movement and used as the marking criteria.
Equitation science emphasises that horse training should prioritise, for the sake of safety, obtaining clear control of the horse’s mobility, which should be achieved from light aids to protect the horse from strong or constant pressures. This, as Andrew reminds, is old classical training and ideology – legs first, then frame; in other words, the head and neck posture is a consequence of training the legs to respond to our aids. Problematic head carriages almost always reflect major training holes in lightness to either leg or rein aids or both.
“All dressage movements are based on just four mobility responses,” says Andrew. “These basic responses, which have to be trained in all gaits, are the basic responses that horses learn and are reflected in the lower level dressage tests.” (To see the text boxes and images we recommend you download the pdf version of this article).
Andrew explains that, in training, the rider first achieves a basic attempt of these four responses. By applying learning theory correctly, the horse then learns to respond immediately and from a light aid every time. This is what behaviourists call stimulus control, which in equitation may be better understood as ‘obedience’ – an immediate response to a single light aid.
Once these basic responses are installed and once the horse develops the physical strength required, the responses can be chained together one after the other (not at the same time preferably as it could confuse the horse) in cascades of responses to produce the more advanced and complex movements.
For example, half pass is a composite movement consisting of a turn response and a yielding the hindlegs response. Shoulder-in is a turn of the forelegs off the line, while travers is an indirect turn on the line followed by a yielding the hindlegs response. The quality of these higher composite responses depends on the quality of the basic responses.
Andrew insists that the first steps of basic attempt and stimulus control need to be added to the FEI training scale before rhythm.
“There is no slot in the FEI scale for basic attempt and stimulus control,” says Andrew. “It is assumed, probably because in the early days when dressage was first introduced as a sport, the horses, which were mostly military mounts, were trained and had already achieved rhythm level for the required movements. We can’t assume that anymore today. Horses may perform at competitions when they are only beginning to learn shoulder-in or piaffe and we need to be able to assess this and mark them accordingly.”
Stimulus control, which Andrew terms ‘obedience’, should be assessed as happening immediately from a single light aid. It is easy to see if the rider is constantly spurring or holding the horse, or if the response is delayed, and this ties in with the element of ‘rhythm’.
Andrew insists it is critical to define rhythm according to the oldest and most useful definition – that the horse keeps doing what was asked. Judges often differ in their interpretation of the term and some believe it is the regularity of the gaits. “While regularity is an important aspect of rhythm,” says Andrew, “it is secondary from the training perspective of continuing to respond to the single aid.” When seen from this perspective, rhythm can be directly observable and assessed with tests of self-carriage (momentarily softening the rein and/or leg contact). Self-maintenance of the response is what training is all about and, in Andrew’s view, it is essential to ensure good welfare.
Straightness is shaped after rhythm and can also be assessed with self-carriage tests.
“Straightness,” says Andrew, “is not about the straightness of the body, but rather a function of laterality, and to a smaller extent, asymmetry. The effect of laterality is that one diagonal pair of legs tends to provide more propulsive thrust than the other. The other diagonal pair tends to provide slightly more reverse thrust and the difference between them skews the horse.”
Biomechanically, ‘crookednes’ is normal for quadrupeds as it allows them to place the hindlegs deeper so that one leg goes in between the forelegs, as happens in jumping or galloping. “When training lightness and rhythm,” he continues, “if the trainer focusses on making the diagonal pairs as even as possible, the horse will maintain perfect rhythm and straightness.”
The ‘contact’ or connection level in the scale includes other subtleties, not just the horse-rider contact, but the further physical development of the horse’s impulsion, engagement, ‘durchlaessigkeit’ (throughness) and collection. Rather than being actual learned responses, these elements occur as the horse becomes physically stronger.
‘Durchlaessigkeit’, a German word that is as hard to translate as it is to pronounce is known as ‘throughness’, but has been better described as ‘letting go-ness’ or ‘when the rein aids flow through to the hind legs’. This, says Andrew, is a very important part of training a horse: “it is not good enough when you pull on the reins and the horse just slows his front legs. His hindlegs must also dig-in to some extent and this occurs by lowering the hindquarters.”
“When seen from this perspective, the degree of throughness also corresponds with the degree of collection because, as the horse improves and develops physical strength, the hind foot prints begin to step closer to the front foot prints. So, impulsion, engagement, throughness and collection should be seen as on a continuum at the same scalar level but varying only for the training stage.”
The last step of the equitation science training scale is ‘proof’ – an element that Andrew says he ‘borrowed’ from American dog trainers. “It is important to show that what you have trained at home in your indoor arena will still work when you go elsewhere,” he states. “Horses are very contextualised in their learning (they make associations between the behaviour and the place where they are doing it), so it is normal for the wheels to fall off to some extent when you move to a different environment. It is important to gradually shape that as well – taking them to slightly more challenging places over time.”
Merging training and judging
If the equitation scale was universally accepted to describe the training process, the judge’s marks would reflect the actual training error. This way, trainers would have a better idea of where the training had gone wrong and what elements need to be re-trained, improved or refined for each response or movement. By emphasising the importance of lightness and self-carriage in all movements, a scale like this would also align good judging with good welfare.
For example, instead of the current criteria for a mark of 5 being ‘sufficient’, the benchmark would become ‘basic attempt’ – the required movement was visible and happened at the correct place. Marks below 4 would indicate a failure at basic attempt and the severity would reflect the gravity of the training problem. Marks from 5 to 10 would align with the training scale to show the level of development towards harmony between horse and rider.
The scale could also be used to set ‘firewalls’ or ceilings for marks, so that if any step is not present, the mark is frozen at the step below. According to Andrew, rhythm should be firewalled, so that no horse, regardless how expressive his movement, can be marked higher than a 6 if he is not showing self-carriage. Straightness is another level that should be firewalled, not just because crookedness thwarts the horse’s ongoing progress, but also because the lack of it may mean the horse is subject to ongoing pressures on one side or the other. This would mean that a horse that is not straight could not receive marks higher than 7.
Andrew is a firm believer that judging and welfare should be synonymous. “Judges are the housekeepers of welfare and the system should be transparent for all. If we want to see dressage go into the future, it must be sustainable, it must move away from its cultural shadow and become more objective. Importantly though, a more objective system would give judges more confidence and credibility.”

While the dressage world is entrenched in its own history and traditions, and changes such as Andrew proposes will take time to be accepted, the truth is that, with a good understanding of learning theory and the shaping process, it is still possible to make some sense of the current judging system against the equitation science shaping scale in a way that can inform your training.
Next month, Manuela McLean will begin to explain the most common comments that judges make against the backdrop of learning theory, as well as provide strategies for rectifying any training problems. Comments such as ‘not shown’, ‘resistance’, ‘not forward’, ‘needs to be more uphill’, etc. will be grouped and placed into the appropriate level of the equitation science training scale. Clear training strategies to improve each response will be broken down and explained. | <urn:uuid:af111e17-6d44-4c0b-beac-fcde3602f0f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://esi-education.com/boost-your-dressage-scores-part-1/ | 2023-09-28T16:55:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.955448 | 3,586 |

Write a five-page essay comparing and contrasting the scores of two different films by two different composers from two different eras. The focus of the essay is to examine how one composer is influenced by another, using the two scores as evidence. You must meet the following criteria:
The films must both either be of a similar genre (e.g., two westerns, two horror films, etc.) or two versions of the same story (e.g., the Frankenstein story, a Three Musketeers story), or one can be a remake of the other (e.g., Planet of the Apes). Whichever films you choose must have release dates at least 20 years apart. They do not necessarily need to be films we have studied up to this point. Your choices must be approved by the instructor, which is this week’s assignment.
You must be able to show some common threads between the styles and scoring approaches of the two composers. These may include orchestration, physical vs. psychological approach, ways similar problems are solved, etc. Examine the similarities and differences between the two composers, and speculate as to why this is the case. For example, did one composer study with the other? Perhaps different economic situations (e.g., 1930s Depression-era vs. 1990s boom) or different production environments (e.g., studio system vs. independent production) may have influenced their approaches or choices for the particular films you are examining. | <urn:uuid:246079c4-28e8-4bdd-988c-1413365e116e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://essayquoll.com/2020/08/07/write-a-five-page-essay-comparing-and-contrasting-the-scores-of-two-different-films-by-two-different-composers-from-two-different-eras/ | 2023-09-28T16:46:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.956706 | 299 |

Like our Lavender Dark Balsamic, Lemongrass Mint White Balsamic is another aromatic vinegar for you. We like to describe it as tart from its White Balsamic base; it's also minty with a certain citrusy aroma from distinct lemongrass notes.
Its minty flavor gives it that crisp and clear taste and a delicious sweetness you just can't resist. The natural flavors of Thai Lemongrass and mint cooperate beautifully and make a dazzling base for marinades and dressings.
If you're into Thai food, your cooking should always feature this balsamic vinegar. It packs a punch and serves as a lovely base for meals. You can also try this crisp vinegar for mixing cocktails and other amazing drink recipes.
Here are some cooking ideas for you: Combined with Sesame Oil, it makes a great sauce for veggies spring roll. It's great in chicken or seafood marinade. Mixing a mojito?

Gas tank cleanup and sealing
The gas tank had waited in the chicken coop for two years. That was long enough to take on a couple of boarders — mice who built a nice soft nest behind an inside baffle. In spite of the fact that the gas tank was bone dry from the first day we got the car, I know that mice hadn’t invaded until we took possession. The nest I pulled out piece by piece and sucked out with my shop vacuum was made of our brand of paper towel and a cotton swab or two that had been lying around. I had to use some wire to fish out the little bits. Time to set more traps, I guess.
I glanced inside the tank when we put it into storage, and I recall thinking that it was pretty rusty, though I was also happy that the tank was completely empty and had been for some time. Perhaps it is a matter of perspective now, but looking at it after two years of repairing other (worse?) rust made it seem a little better. The rust inside was scary nonetheless. There was a welded repair that had been covered with blue silicone sealer. I recall the previous owner pointing to some blue stuff and saying “Kreem?” but I have to admit that “Kreem” didn’t make much sense to me then. Now I know it is a type of gas tank sealer. Our closer look inside the tank showed us that the tank had never before been treated with a gas tank sealer. That fact simplified our work, since we wouldn’t have to remove a previous sealer to apply our own.
The underside of the tank, on the corner nearest the threaded hole for the fuel sump, had been repaired by cutting out a rusted area and patching it. The rest of the tank wall was unmolested and solid. The rust repair was probably done at the same time as the “repair” of the fuel sump hole on the trunk floor that we redid. This area of the E-type is commonly rusted, I’ve heard. It can collect water, since it is in close proximity to a hole fairly near the pavement and since Jaguar apparently used jute pads to soundproof. The jute pads were situated between the gas tank and the floor of the trunk. Unfortunately, they soaked up moisture and eventually promoted rust.
Bottom line: We didn’t need to do rust damage repair, though sealing and removal of lesser rust deposits were still needed.
I decided to use POR-15’s “US Standard Fuel Tank Sealer” kit. I’d read positive reviews, and I’ve been overall happy with other POR-15 products I’ve used. I know that the rust protection coating is mighty tough stuff, and I figured the sealer would be tough, too. Also, I was attracted by the simplicity of buying a kit that included everything I’d need. Cost was in line with what I expected: $50-$75. My kit arrived with two quarts of “Marine Clean” detergent, a quart of “Metal Ready” rust converter and metal etcher, a quart of sealer, and a large-ish container of fuel treatment, that I won’t use until I actually put gas into the tank. A single letter-sized sheet contains all of the instructions. In short, you clean the tank thoroughly, convert any remaining rust and etch the steel, and then coat with the sealer. (See the sidebar for all the details of our sealing job.)
Since I wanted to make the most out of the detergent that came from POR-15, I decided to do a pre-cleaning of the inside of the tank. There was no sense in pouring in the special detergent to do what regular old “industrial strength” degreaser-detergent would do. To that end, I used a 1:1 dilution of Kirkland brand (yes, it came from Costco) “industrial/commercial” degreaser-detergent. This stuff is colored a flourescent-like green. I’ve used it to degrease parts and I’ve even used it — with spotty results — to clean items that were to be zinc plated. It has worked very well to remove grits and greasy deposits. I used the regular degreaser in the same manner that the POR-15 folks recommended using their “Marine Clean” detergent. The first cleaning really took out a lot of junk, both loose chunks of grit and flaked rust and dissolved goo. The detergent mix came out looking like eight-hour old espresso. After a clean water rinse, I redid it. The second batch of detergent came out signficantly more clean, but still definitely brown. The third batch came out virtually the same color as it went in (see the left half of the comparison picture in the sidebar), so I figured that the detergent had done as much as it could.
At that point, I began using the “Marine Clean.” Now, “Marine Clean” is a clear liquid, and the POR-15 people claim that it dissolves varnishes and residues that result from oxidizing fuels. Apparently this works in gas lines as well as gas tanks. I actually wasn’t expecting the “Marine Clean” to get as much out of the tank as it in fact did, since I’d already cleaned the tank with some also pretty tough detergent. That “Marine Clean” really works — the first 1:1 dilution came out significantly brown, indicating it was at least dissolving what my other detergent couldn’t. The second dilution also came out somewhat brown. One thing that was a bit unsual was that the instructions suggested that there was a third application of the “Marine Clean,” but my kit contained two quarts of the stuff. I figured that the POR-15 people decided that three was overkill and two would suffice.
The test of the relative strength of a “industrial” degreaser-detergent and the POR-15 “Marine Clean” detergent was really the only surprise in the process of sealing the gas tank. The rest of the process went without much to note.
After the inside was sealed, I painted the outside of the tank. I did decide to mask the areas where the fuel pump and the fuel level sensor attach as well as the threads for the fuel sump. These now are clean metal. I am thinking about installing a different (more dependable?) fuel pump, though I’m not sure what type, submersible or not. That is a question I do not need to answer right now, however.
The gas tank looks nice. I’ll have to keep more rodent boarders from moving in!
Gas tank treatment, step-by-step using POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer Kit
Pretty scary, I thought, when I first took a look at the inside of the gas tank. This area is the welded repair that must have been associated with the rusted out trunk. I think that the rusted out trunk floor became a problem when gas began to leak. The area immediately adjacent to the welded repair on the tank exterior had some pitting as well.
The instructions for the tank kit said to clean the tank with the “Marine Clean” detergent, diluted 1:1. I decided to use some regular old “industrial degreaser-detergent” (purchased from Costco) to do the initial cleaning. This entailed sloshing around a 1:1 mixture of water and degreaser. I did this three times, and I let the detergent soak for about an hour in the tank. The first time the mixture came out a coffee-colored liquid. After a clean water rinse and another Costco-brand slosh, the detergent had done as much as it could. It came out almost completely the color it went in. The picture above shows the results on the interior — there were some results but the best was yet to come.
The picture shows the last Costco-brand detergent and the first “Marine Clean” detergent mix. It’s pretty obvious that the Costco detergent had done its best. And the “Marine Clean” — which went in completely colorless — came out quite brown. The “Marine Clean” detergent is claimed to remove fuel residues and varnishes that appear in fuel tanks and fuel lines. I was skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised by the result, especially after I had cleaned up as best as I could with other detergent.
This shows the tank floor after two applications of the “Marine Clean” detergent. Although the instructions said that the final detergent soaking would pour out almost clean, that was not my experience. That second soak came out brownish, too. I’m assuming this second application was adequate, since a third quart of “Marine Clean” did not come in my kit, although the instructions mention a third application of the diluted detergent. What is shown here really amounts to a thin coating of rust. I could easily rub it off with my fingertips.
After the inside is free of greases, oils, and varnish, the rust is converted with a product called “Metal Ready.” Basically, this converts iron oxide rust and etches the metal surface. This left (or, perhaps more accurately, replaced) the rust film with a grey film that came off just as easily as the rust. This picture shows the treated surface after it had been rinsed with clean water. The surface came quite clean, since you can see the brazed welds quite easily and the steel looks like steel.
An old hair dryer served as the forced air source. It was perfect, since I just shoved it in a hole and turned it on. For the most part, I kept the dryer running without using the heater. Hot air went in about three hours all told, and it definitely heated the tank. Overall, I ran the hair dryer about ten hours. Completely drying the inside of the tank is very important, and the kit instructions especially stress this. The tank sealer will not adhere to a wet or moist tank wall.
The POR-15 kit comes with a quart of fuel tank sealer, which looks to me to be the same stuff as POR-15 metal coating. Stinks the same, at least, and it looks pretty much the same, too. We duct taped the openings on the gas tank, poured the sealer into the very dry tank, and rotated it to make sure that the coating covered the entire interior surface. After that, we poured the excess out — about a pint remained. The kit instructions said to leave the can open, so that it wouldn’t explode (!), and that does make me think that the sealer is somehow different from POR-15 metal coatings, since those are resealable, at least for short term.
The inside of the tank now looks like this. The POR-15 instructions say that you can repair larger holes with a fabric-like product and POR-15 sealer applied to the outside of the tank over the holes. Thank goodness we won’t need to do that kind of thing! | <urn:uuid:bc18c2b0-1cc5-468c-9819-b4ce531f5dae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://etype.inetogether.net/tag/por-15/ | 2023-09-28T17:55:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.977852 | 2,419 |
I'm delighted to announce that today we are launching the Harmony™ Practice Pad - we call her Angie. The Angie Practice Pad is a safe, easy, risk free way to hone your microblading skills. We have conveniently packaged Angie into bundles of 25, double-sided sheets.
Only $1 each, 25 sheets per bundle.
The front of the sheet is a full face. The back of the sheet is 4 sets of eyes - the first two with a stencil, the second two without.
Want to bring Angie home? Go HERE to order.
I discovered cardstock as a great way to practice when I was developing the Harmony™ Microblade. I was constantly testing needles from different suppliers and I used glossy magazine pages as a place to test. It's a great medium for actually seeing what your strokes will look like and also checking blade quality and consistency as every little imperfection shows up immediately.
I still use the Angie Pads to do quality assurance on the Harmony™ Microblade and I also use them to experiment with new designs and for training.
We now have lots of inventory in our US, Canadian and UK warehouses so it should be a breeze to get your hands on Angie.
I hope you find them helpful and as always, please send me your feedback.
p.s. Please keep an eye out for future announcements. Later this month we will be launching our biggest contest yet!
p.s.s. Can you guess who inspired the name Angie? | <urn:uuid:f31df3b4-9847-456b-98ec-283002d279d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eu.tinadavies.com/blogs/news/115583493-meet-angie-your-perfect-practice-partner | 2023-09-28T17:01:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.951579 | 312 |
For years we’ve been fighting to protect a large marine area in the Basque region called Jaizkibel – our objective is to create a marine ecological corridor between San Sebastian and Biarritz for inclusion in the Natura 2000 network.
It’s been a long struggle, especially because there are plans to build a port in the area – a move that would endanger thousands of marine communities, species and habitats.
But we’ve just received a bit of good news – The Basque parliament has approved a motion calling on the government of the autonomous region to take a year to study the proposal that we submitted in partnership with COBE, and assess the possibility of creating the marine protected area.
Our proposed ecological corridor would occupy roughly 27,000 marine hectares over a length of 35 kilometres. If the 13,000 hectares off the cliffs of Jaizkibel and Ulía were added to the areas already proposed by the French government for inclusion in the Natura 2000 network, between Hendaia and Biarritz, this corridor would become emblematic of cross-border conservation. The corridor would be essential for the protection of more than 100 marine communities, as well as close to 1,000 different marine species, including some protected species, such as porpoises, bottlenose dolphins, sea lampreys, groupers, common sponges, European lobsters, etc
Currently, less than 1% of the marine area in the Bay of Biscay is protected, a figure that is far from the 10% established by the Convention on Biological Diversity. There is no more time to waste – Spain and other EU Member States must move faster to protect marine biodiversity. | <urn:uuid:5f3cd1f1-a917-4336-873a-fdfea0e11a83> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://europe.oceana.org/blog/one-step-towards-conservation-basque-region/ | 2023-09-28T18:23:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949099 | 345 |
Serbia will mark the 20-year anniversary of its Council of Europe membership in 2023. During that time, this international organisation has been contributing to many reform efforts in the country, with recent priority areas including the judiciary, gender equality and LGBT+ rights. In addition to these areas, where significant work is still required, the future priorities in Serbia will include the Council of Europe’s action against crime, stresses Tobias Flessenkemper, Head of the Belgrade Office of the Council of Europe.
Flessenkemper, who has held the current office since October 2018, discussed the activities, results and plans of the Council of Europe in Serbia in an interview for the European Western Balkans. While legal and technical reforms are important, another aspect is also necessary – the change of political culture and raising awareness of certain issues, he emphasises. Some of the campaigns the Council of Europe has launched to this aim in Serbia include “Block the Hatred – Share the Love” and Democracy Here, Democracy Now.
European Western Balkans: Since 2016, Serbia has been involved in two rounds of the Horizontal Facility initiative, managed by the Council of Europe, which covers reforms in many areas, including independence of the judiciary, freedom of expression, and the fight against corruption. What would you single out as the most successful area so far?
Tobias Flessenkemper: With the Horizontal Facility, we aim, together with the European Union, to bring Serbia closer to the standards, which are all connected: human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Our interventions are co-ordinated to reach results in the most efficient way. An important milestone are the amendments to the 2006 Constitution of Serbia accepted by the citizens in January of this year. Now the judiciary has the potential of becoming more independent and autonomous. But now Serbian authorities need to start introducing the real change that will be felt by everyone in the country. Another result for Serbia is the introduction of its first law on gender equality. We will see whether more can be achieved for equality and diversity. Also because of these results a third phase of the Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye is now planned. It will build on the awareness, knowledge and understanding about the European standards which will help raise the levels of democracy, rule of law, human rights.
EWB: When it comes to the constitutional reform in the independence of the judiciary, what are the next steps that the Council of Europe is participating in? Is it just the changes of the laws that have to be prepared now that the Constitution has been changed, or are there other areas in which you are co-operating with the authorities?
TF: With the result of the referendum of 16 January 2022 the clock started ticking for the change of the laws governing the judiciary. By February 2023 the changes have to be passed. Yet, following the early parliamentary elections on 3 April, the new parliament has not yet been constituted. These legislative changes are the basis for the further steps of judicial reform. It is foreseen that we will then work intensively with all stakeholders in the judiciary, the Councils of Judges and Prosecutors, the bar associations, the academy, the government and parliament and others. By 2026, the judiciary has the potential of being more effective and in line with European standards. This is the result we offer to help Serbia authorities achieve.
EWB: When an average citizen thinks about the problems in the judiciary, they mostly think of the slowness and the lack of initiative when it comes to politically sensitive cases. Is the Council of Europe addressing these specific problems?
TF: The speed of the work of the judiciary is a widespread concern. By focusing on the independence and autonomy, the second concern you mentioned, we aim for effectiveness and efficiency. For this, prosecutors need to be in the position to autonomously take forward cases based purely on legal considerations. So far, the system was designed to include political influence. The independence of judges is also essential, they need to be free from the external influence. These are not purely legal and technical reforms. This means a change in political culture. This also concerns the role of the media, which can have a positive or negative influence on the rule of law. The Council of Europe can help to create the structural conditions but changing the atmosphere in which these structures can function is a challenge for the whole society. Here we can give advice, but, of course, this is work that must be done by everyone in Serbia who is interested in an independent judiciary.
EWB: Among the projects of the Council of Europe in Serbia is also “Block the hatred. Share the love”, which was launched this year. Its aim is to protect vulnerable groups from hate speech. Which groups in Serbia are most affected and what is the project doing to fix this problem?
TF: The “Block the Hatred – Share the Love” campaign started at regional level, covering the entire Western Balkans since late 2020, and indeed it is now launched in Serbia. This has started as a regional initiative on the topic the Council of Europe has been raising awareness about for long time. Young people and youth organisations working with the Council of Europe have already in 2012 started raising awareness about the risks hate speech on the internet poses for democracy and human rights. Already at that time, we could see that people were confronted with hate speech online and our Youth Department put the issue on the agenda.
European unity cannot be built based on people hating each other: this campaign aims exactly at that – making people in Serbia and in the Western Balkans aware there is an alternative to hatred. The alternative is love – as a concept that underpins many others: respect, diversity, inclusion.
Hate speech cannot be solved only by the police action, you cannot say “it’s a crime” and then it will stop. It is everybody’s responsibility. So, the next step is, of course, to say – how do we create awareness about this? And this is where the campaign comes in, saying that first of all, you do not have to tolerate this. When you see it, do something about it. There is an easier way of limiting hate speech – by blocking it, in your own feed. This way, the algorithms can be influenced, limiting the spread of such contents.
Of course, after that simple step that everybody can do, the next step is to create awareness around it and counter it. And that is why we feel happy and privileged to partner with prominent artists in sharing this positive messages. This campaign will not have as a result that there will be no more hate speech in Serbia. But it may have as a result that people are becoming more aware that they can do things about it themselves.
When it comes to the specific groups that are targeted, what we know as a Council of Europe, and from the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), which is regularly looking into the situation, is that hate speech is often targeting national minorities, including Roma, the area of sexual orientation and gender identities, there is a particular issue with neighbouring countries, political events and people who are associated with these political events. What you can also sometimes see is that particular political issues bring out a lot of emotions, which can turn into violent language and degrading language. This is the reason why politicians should refrain from fuelling these sensitive issues by using offensive and degrading language. They should instead make it clear that the use of hate speech is unacceptable in a democratic society.
EWB: Many are saying that hate against people based on their sexual orientation, which you mention, and the overall negative atmosphere in Serbia when it comes to LGBT+ persons has prevented the adoption of the Law on Same-Sex Unions last year. Are you optimistic that this problem can be overcome? Can that law be adopted in the new parliament?
TF: The Government of Serbia has asked us to help develop the law because in the view of the Council of Europe it will give to same-sex couples equal access to a universal fundamental right. This is not a special right. It is a recommendation of the Council of Europe for many years now and there is a solid jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights which allows us to say that there is now a European consensus in providing legal recognition for same-sex couples.
We support Serbia to become the 30th member State of the Council of Europe to take this step. The next step would be for the new government to take a decision on the work that has been done and bring the draft to the National Assembly. The draft that is currently with the competent ministries is a solid proposal, but it could also be more ambitious. Our experts have made some comments on that.
Now, one of the things that you can say in Serbia is that there is a lot of second-guessing of what is the societal atmosphere. Similar processes in other Member States where legislative reforms were preceded by a clear and compelling approach to messaging and communication led to a positive outcome in terms of societal acceptance. We are encouraging the Serbian authorities to take their initiative forward and to create the right fora. We are ready to support this, we already did it last year, through public tribunes containing accurate information to demystify the issue. Serbia is a diverse country, and it has a lot of positive traditions to connect to, so I would not be surprised that adopting such a law, in the wake of the EuroPride activities this autumn, will contribute to positive change.
EWB: When it comes to the future of the Council of Europe in Serbia, are there priorities for which you would like to see more focus and more effort in their implementation in the next couple of years?
TF: Serbia will have been a member of the Council of Europe for 20 years next year. The idea of our work here is to support Serbia in reaching the standards, and a key avenue is through our programmatic partnership with the EU. This co-operation is based on the recommendations of the Council of Europe monitoring bodies. For many years now, we have been focusing on the justice reform. Now, after the change of the Constitution, the implementation is the key issue. At the same time, we expect the Council of Europe’s action against crime to emerge as a more visible topic of our co-operation activities in Serbia. It is mostly about the rule of law, but issues like corruption and money laundering are also related to human rights – directly or indirectly. For instance, we are organising in September a regional conference on combatting trafficking for labour exploitation, a problem that it is increasingly concerning us. Another example is money laundering and tax evasion through which finances are channelled away from such important areas, as medical care. These questions – organised crime and corruption – need to be tackled seriously and vigorously. It is crucial for all members of the society to be treated equally and have more means for education, health, housing, also environment, and so on.
That’s why promoting equality and diversity remains our key priority, as they are also important for democracy. This week, a few hundred young people from all over Europe will hold the Youth Action Week in Strasbourg as part of our Democracy Here, Democracy Now campaign.
It is the challenge of 2020s to revitalise democracy and to strengthen mutual trust between young people and democratic institutions and processes. Access to human rights is the basis for equality and diversity, and meaningful youth and citizen participation and the impact of digitalisation are important factors of democratisation.
Even though there are Serbia-specific challenges, one could say that problems in Serbia are not much different from what other countries face. Our co-operation activities are for the rights of all people in Serbia, and we help bringing the country closer towards European standards. We hope that the new parliament and government will be in place soon so that our work can be stepped up for the benefit of all. | <urn:uuid:5ccb988f-1e9b-4dbb-ac1f-cfdff8dc22d9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://europeanwesternbalkans.com/2022/06/27/ewb-interview-flessenkemper-the-goal-of-independent-judiciary-in-serbia-requires-a-change-in-political-culture/ | 2023-09-28T18:11:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967917 | 2,443 |
A night in tonight, big day tomorrow, so I checked out whats on the boob-tube this evening. Return of the Jedi (awesome) and The Last Starfighter. Everyone may not be familiar with the second film. It is a pretty bad b-grade flick made to capitalise on the then-recent rise in popularity of video games and the smash hit success of the Star Wars movies. (Although it bugs the shit out of me that it is no longer called Return of the Jedi, but Episode VI. Get your hand off it, George Lucas…)
Anyway, The Last Starfighter is interesting for two main reasons.
1) It was the first film to do all special effects (bar the make-up) with a computer. All the spaceships, space fights, everything. It was done on a Cray supercomputer. That in itself is pretty awesome.
2) Plot: “A videogaming boy, seemingly doomed to stay at his trailer park home all his life, finds himself recruited as a gunner for an alien defense force.” It seems as if most reviewers at the time focused on the film quality, rather than the particular cultural context for which the film is an expression. Virilio would’ve gone nuts over such a plotline. The frontier of the sky and of electromagnetic domain are conquered through a literal upwards mobility by a trailer trash loser (whose girlfriend doesn’t even realise he has been replaced by a robot after he goes off to save the galaxy… very telling).
Playing a video game gets you out of your shitty life? Only in the movies. Along with Tron and War Games, this film captures something about the buzz around video games and computers in the early to mid-1980s. | <urn:uuid:6d5bb84c-b691-4af9-94b2-a2f3f9fbc3a1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eventmechanics.net.au/2005/03/the-last-techno-utopianist/ | 2023-09-28T17:43:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.951958 | 360 |
Albert Cummings is an American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter, and award-winning master builder. His playing style weds the chunky, rave-up R&B stylings of Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan to the boundary-less blues-rock improvisation of Jimi Hendrix and Freddie King’s resonant phrasing. Further, he is a powerful vocalist possessed of a rich, expressive baritone. After hearing him play live, Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton (Vaughan’s Double Trouble) produced and played on 2001’s From the Heart. 2004’s True to Yourself marked the guitarist’s Blind Pig debut. 2006’s Working Man peaked inside the Top Ten on the blues charts and established Cummings as a touring headliner in Europe. 2012’s No Regrets peaked at five. Even as he was crafting homes and doing award-winning restoration work in Massachusetts he found time to record the 2015 number two smash, Someone Like You. Cummings
left Blind Pig in 2017 and signed with Germany’s Provogue for 2020’s soul-blues revue-styled Believe; it also peaked at two.
Cummings was born in Williamston, Maryland. His father played guitar and fiddle in many local bands, including a 26-piece orchestra. Seeing his dad on-stage made an immense impression on the youngster. Unable to wrap his hand around a guitar’s neck, Cummings took up the banjo at 12. At 15 he picked up the guitar and began learning to play from recordings by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, and Muddy Waters. | <urn:uuid:cd0c75c4-86f9-417d-87fd-d0986588828b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://events.wnymedia.net/event/albert-cummings-w-maria-aurigema-opening/ | 2023-09-28T18:43:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.939541 | 358 |

A chawl (Marathi:चाळ) is a type of residential building found in western India, similar to a tenement. Typically low quality housing, chawls are generally associated with poverty. The first chawls were constructed in the early 1700s, as housing for industrial workers.
Chawls are rooted in the history of Bombay's (now Mumbai) colonial past. Workers migrated to Bombay from far and wide, as it was the center of trade for the East India Company. However, due to the land being unequally divided, British merchants and officials lived in sprawling bungalows, leaving little space for the working class. To accommodate this workforce, Chawls sprung up. These were tiny one room apartments shared by up to five people. Being highly congested, unsanitary, and unsafe, these were also more expensive than comparable accommodation in other Indian cities.
Town planning in Bombay finally came about due to fears of a plague epidemic, due to which The City Of Bombay Improvement Trust was established in 1898. Initial projects failed, displacing far more than they resettled. However, subsequent projects saw greater success, which largely included land reclamation projects to connect the Seven Islands of Bombay. This, along with modern apartments, led to availability of better housing, due to which chawls have declined. However, they may still be seen in the poorer parts of Mumbai.
Chawls are typically 4 to 5 stories tall, with between 8 and 16 dwellings on each floor. These dwellings are known as kholis. A central staircase services the building and gives access to a long passage which runs the length of each floor. Many chawls are also built around a small courtyard, which functions as a communal space for residents. As many chawls are made with wood and often not subject to repairs, they become unstable or unsafe to live in over time, sometimes requiring relocation of the residents for fear that the structure may collapse.
Families on a floor have to share a common block of latrines. Tenements with private bathrooms are highly sought after and may be 50% more expensive than the price of a normal chawl. The lack of bathrooms has been credited with furthering disease outbreaks in chawls. Infestations of insects such as cockroaches or centipedes are not uncommon either, and with no rules about littering, sanitary conditions are usually very poor.
Despite poor sanitation and living conditions, chawls are often seen as "middle class" housing, and are often more affordable than much of the housing in Mumbai. Some chawls have shops or businesses incorporated into their structure, which provide employment or shopping opportunities to the inhabitants.
Residents of chawls sometimes cite a sense of community where everything is shared amongst themselves; the cramped design of chawls forces social interaction between residents and very often special occasions such as weddings or religious festivals are celebrated communally.
In Mulk Raj Anand's novel Coolie, the central character Munoo lives with two family groups in a chawl during his time in Bombay with detailed descriptions of the living circumstances. The 2019 Marathi-language drama film, 15 August (Marathi: १५ ऑगस्ट) revolves around life in a chawl, with the majority of the filming taking place there. In Kiran Nagarkar's novel Ravan & Eddie, both main characters and their families live in a chawl.
Chawls are featured in a Mumbai level in the game Hitman 2. | <urn:uuid:8f607c26-27dd-4aeb-bf4e-5583f4872beb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://everything.explained.today/Chawl/ | 2023-09-28T17:03:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.973008 | 770 |

It was a weekday evening. The working day had come to a close. Colombo was abuzz with a multitude of options to appease the reveller. But thanks to the new Southern Expressway, it had become possible to indulge in escapades a little farther away from home than usual. We had just embarked on our first…
Words Haseena Razak and Benjamin Fowler Photographs Prabath Chathuranga
The plan was to head out to Unawatuna, enjoy a delicious meal by the beach and return to Colombo at a decent hour. By the time we reached the Kottawa entry to the expressway, we were buzzing with excitement about the evening that lay ahead of us. The brightly lit entry exuded a sense of brand-new and cutting-edge. It was the proportions that made the most predominant impression. The towering street lights, the expansive roadway: everything was much larger than what we had come to associate with roadways in Sri Lanka.
As we slowed down at one of the tollbooths that stood sentinel on the highway, we were greeted by a smiling tollbooth attendant, who issued us a ticket: our passport to the highway. It read 7:21pm. Without further ado he lifted the gate.
Dubbed the ‘super road’ by some, the Southern Expressway, or the E01, felt exactly that: super to the point of being alien. From the time we entered it, throughout our journey, our surroundings felt foreign. The awareness of being on local soil, coupled with the sensory information that seemed to contradict this fact, had a strange – almost surreal – effect on our psyche. For those of us whose first time this was on the highway, the mystery of the landscape shrouded in blackness only heightened the effect. We could make out the dark shapes of hills rising to meet the sky, which was a paler shade of grey. We glimpsed snatches of rocky hills whenever illuminated by headlights or street lamps. Far ahead of us a few brake lights, like fiery red eyes in the dark, queued up neatly. Behind us was darkness, punctuated by the bright headlights of vehicles in the distance.
The highway itself maintained its impressive sense of vastness. The reflectors on either side of the road lit up as we passed, and the painted markings, demarcating the different traffic lanes, glowed a brand-new, luminescent white against the jet black tar. So preoccupied with our novel surroundings were we, that we were only reminded of the speed limit unique to the Southern Expressway when several reflective road signs read to us “100kmph”. Leaning over the shoulder of our friend in the driver’s seat to peek at the speedometer, it became apparent that we were indeed travelling at the stipulated pace. The ride was so smooth and fluid however, that it hardly felt as though we were moving at such a speed. On and off ramps spiral off the main road at regular intervals, and it’s striking how a roadway can be so meticulously, evenly designed but can also flow so flawlessly amongst the hills and over rivers.
As the tollbooth attendant gave us our receipt, we were abuzz with exclamations: “That was incredible!”; “Just one hour!”; “It’s unbelievable!”
Perhaps the most astonishing feature of the highway is the swiftness at which destinations that used to take hours to reach can now be approached. The expansive, well-lit interchange points on the roadway were passed by at a truly incredible rate. By 7.58pm we had already reached Kalutara. In the next ten to twelve minutes we had passed by Aluthgama and Ambalangoda. A few minutes later we were zipping past Hikkaduwa. And at 8.26pm we had reached the Pinnaduwa Interchange, the entryway to Galle. As the tollbooth attendant gave us our receipt, we were abuzz with exclamations: “That was incredible!”; “Just one hour!”; “It’s unbelievable!”
Ten minutes later we were in the heart of the celebrated seaside resort of Unawatuna, with a plethora of inviting restaurants laid out before us. Soaking up the bubbly, upbeat vibe of this tourist hotspot, we entered the Thaproban Beach House. Hungry after the excitement of the drive, we placed our order immediately, sipped on fruit juice and explored the beachside restaurant.
When dinner was served we discovered the salads were fresh and crispy, the fried noodles were well seasoned, the battered cuttlefish had a satisfying crunch to it and the crumb fried fish was cooked to perfection. Well prepared accompaniments like the fried basil leaves and the tartar sauce enhanced the flavours. After enjoying this flavourful meal and the seaside breeze we decided to head back to Colombo.
Back at the Pinnaduwa tollbooth, the attendant smiled, almost posing, when he saw our camera. The ticket he gave us read 10.29pm. As we got back on the Southern Highway our friend in the driver’s seat commented on the driving experience on the super road. It was an easy drive, he said, which is why it is imperative to be well-rested before the journey and also adhere by the stipulated speed limit and road rules.
Before we knew it, we had already passed by Hikkaduwa. While we discussed the surroundings of the highway during the day – sprawling paddy fields, jungle and rocky hills – Ambalangoda, Aluthgama and Kalutara flew by. We were admiring a few isolated lights twinkling through dark knots of vegetation when an enormous Buddha statue came into view. It was placed high atop one of the hills and lit incandescently. It appeared as a beacon, shining out from the darkness that surrounded it.
…we had travelled from Colombo to Galle and back again, complete with a sumptuous dinner, in just four hours.
At 11.22pm we passed by the town of Panadura. Four minutes later the Horana exchange point came into view. By 11.30pm we had reached the Kottawa Interchange. Content with our exceptional night out, we mused on how it used to take a good three to four hours to get from Colombo to Galle. Today however, we had travelled from Colombo to Galle and back again, complete with a sumptuous dinner, in just four hours. The Southern Highway has opened up an avenue for many an adventure in the future. | <urn:uuid:55254f7f-f680-426d-ad30-a71d8b975d70> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://exploresrilanka.lk/highway-to-dine/ | 2023-09-28T17:22:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.97579 | 1,399 |
It’s no secret that Walt Disney was a dreamer. And if you’ve ever seen photos or videos of Uncle Walt, it’s apparent just how passionate he was about his work.
But, it wasn’t until my youngest son asked me, “Is Walt Disney your hero?,” that I actually thought about it for a minute and told him, “You know what? I think he is!”
Sure…a lot of people have dreams. Some even achieve those dreams. But, Walt had to overcome a lot before he finally saw his success. He came from very humble beginnings, dreamed up a company doing what he loved to do, just to see it crash, burn, and go bankrupt. From there, he then moved to California with no money, and with the encouragement of his uncle, started another company. He was doing well and his company was seeing some success. But, it could have been the end of Walt Disney and Ub Iworks when Walt lost all rights to Oswald (and many employees) after some sneaky negotiations. But, it ended up being a blessing in disguise because when he lost Oswald, he had to go back to the drawing board and create a brand new character, resulting in the creation of Mickey Mouse. He could have given up many times along the way, but the fact that he still had the drive to pick himself up and keep going is what I find so admirable.
If you’d like to find out more about the Man behind the Mouse, I suggest checking out some (or all) of these books. I’ve seen them on other sites, but Amazon continues to be the lowest price out there.
If you have a chance, I also suggest checking out these videos.
One of my favorite YouTubers, Tim Tracker, got to experience the Marceline to Magic Kingdom Walking Tour. He learned some great facts about Walt Disney and he even got to see how Imagineers make the ghosts dance in the ballroom scene of the Haunted Mansion! So jealous! That alone is worth the $49 Ticket Price!
Another great video is by another favorite of mine, Justin Scarred. He visited the home of Walt’s uncle and gets a tour of the land where Walt started his business California. I’ve seen many of Justin’s videos, but this still has to be one of my favorites.

Once a school garden is established, one of the biggest challenges is keeping the garden going. These resources provide ideas on developing partnerships with different groups, tips on maintaining gardens when school is not in session, and other shared thoughts from individuals and groups that have gardens ongoing for a number of years.
- California School Garden Network
The School Garden Wizard's guide on sustainability and evaluation.
- National Center for Home Food Preservation
University of Georgia factsheets on canning, jams and jellies, freezing, drying, pickling and vinegars, and other miscellaneous topics.
- Setting Up and Running a School Garden
A comprehensive guide on setting up, maintaining, and utilizing a school garden; information for student, school and community levels; provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Challenges and Solutions - Based on a teacher focus group
According to teachers, by far the biggest concern of both starting and sustaining a school garden is the time commitment. Often the garden is both extra time at work for the teacher and classroom time taken away from state mandated curriculum. The key is to delegate responsibilities and make classes in the garden multi-purpose! Here are some specific strategies to ensure the garden does not drain your preparation or instruction time.
Optimizing Class Time
Teachers have requested this website relate the school garden to Georgia math and language arts standards, and we have answered! All lesson plans you find on the site under “Curriculum” are aligned with Common Core Georgia Performance Standards. ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science lesson plans are available for downloading. Now class garden time can always cover a standard!
Note: Charter schools also allow for a separate horticulture course. Take advantage of this opportunity to highlight the school garden in a school-sanctioned and sponsored curriculum.
Optimizing Teachers' Time
Perhaps the most recurring piece of advice from garden teachers is you must get outside help! This is especially important for the sustainability of the school garden program. Strategies that have worked for other Georgia gardening teachers include:
- Hiring a part-time staff member to care for the garden 10 hours per week
- Partnering with another school or program to have volunteers come mentor or teach. Potential volunteers include:
- Local high school classes or community service organizations
- Advanced scholars or gifted program students
- Agricultural or horticultural programs such as 4-H & Master Gardeners
- Establishing an after-school club (run by a different teacher!) to help maintain, further develop, and encourage additional student enthusiasm for the garden.
Lack of Gardening Experience
Although horticultural knowledge and experience are definitely helpful, they are not essential to start or sustain a school garden. Again, bringing in outside help to teach and/or maintain the garden will considerably lessen your load as lead garden teacher. Other things that have worked for Georgia teachers are to:
- Utilize the expertise of science teachers.
- Establish the garden before making connections to the curriculum.
In addition, this site recommends several horticultural sources to help you grow plants in Georgia. If that feels like a lot to pour through, contact your local Master Gardeners or County Extension for help! These are really great resources to take advantage of.
Lack of Parental Support
Don't despair! You may not have much help and support from parents/ guardians upfront, but as the program grows and becomes dear to the students, the garden will catch on with the parents, too. Building up the garden culture at school, for example, by maximizing student exposure to the garden (see #1 on "Tips from Teachers" for specific ideas), is perhaps the quickest way to hook students, thereby stimulating parent interest, as well.
The most direct way to parental support if your school does not have a strong PTA is through your students. Efforts to make the school garden part of home life serve to share the importance of the garden with the family, as well as to reinforce the garden culture for students in a different setting. Sending home seedlings, produce, and garden newsletters, and assigning homework related to the school garden are good ways to expose parents to the project from the comfort of their homes.
While waiting for parents to get on board, try looking for support in other places. These are some ideas other school garden teachers have said they want to try out for garnering outside support:
- Consider sister school partnerships
- Grandparent group to help support
- Team up with churches
- Team up with non-traditional organizations from high schools such as Beta Club, Key Club, NHS
- Community activist groups (e.g. ACT)
Money Spent Out of Pocket
A very legitimate concern, but with the endless grant and fundraiser possibilities, certainly manageable. Of course, it does take time to apply for grants and organize fundraisers, but these are tasks that could be delegated to or even shared between volunteers, fellow teachers, administrators, and community officials. See the “Fund and Material Procurement” section for specific suggestions.

Green Fundraising Ideas
For "green" fundraising ideas, visit:
Funding your garden could be as simple as asking for donations from local businesses and already established school sponsors. Nurseries, hardware, and home improvement stores are great places to start asking for garden supplies. Grocery stores could be willing to donate healthy food items for class cooking demonstrations. If these businesses are not willing or able to outright donate items, don't be shy about asking for a discounted rate! For monetary donations, the possibilities are endless. Places to start are restaurants and ecologically minded businesses. Let all potential sponsors know their time in the garden would also be appreciated as volunteers, if they were so inclined. Advertising your donors' names and contribution around the garden and the school offers incentive for them to continue their generosity in future years! | <urn:uuid:e2c74ca9-b721-45a1-baf3-9f3365d5400b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://extension.uga.edu/programs-services/school-garden-resources/sustainability.html | 2023-09-28T16:34:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.945823 | 1,304 |
Muskrat control and relocation
The muskrat is a harmful rodent that’s considered an invasive species since it causes significant damage and reproduces very quickly. The muskrat is actually a large field mouse that lives in aquatic environments. It’s also very well suited to life on land, although its burrow is usually accessible underwater. Including its flat tail, it’s 50 to 61 cm long. It’s plump and weighs 1 kg on average. Its thick, waterproof fur allows it to swim under ice in the winter. A capable swimmer, its hind legs nevertheless aren’t webbed like those of the beaver. Do not worry! Our muskrat control experts use animal-friendly methods to help you out.
Detecting the presence of muskrats
This rodent can dig its burrow in any type of terrain, but it’s always found near a wet environment: swamps, wetlands, rivers, and in agricultural fields near drainage ponds. When you see a pile of cattails or dead branches along a shoreline, this is often a muskrat’s hut. Its presence on wet or snowy ground leaves footprints that look like little hands. The trace of its tail dragging on the ground makes it possible to confirm the muskrat’s presence. To find out how to get rid of a muskrat that’s far from its natural environment, our muskrat control service is the best solution.

In agricultural environments, the muskrat obstructs agricultural drains, which impedes regular water flow. It also gnaws on plastic drainage pipes, trying to penetrate them. Even if the drain is sealed by a grate, this doesn’t prevent the muskrat from damaging it. It feeds on corn, soybeans, and clover and damages crops. Because this animal considerably weakens the shoreline when it digs its burrow there, you should intervene quickly, with a muskrat control expert, to find out how to get rid of them. Large populations can lead to erosion or even the collapse of the shoreline. Don’t forget, then the damage caused by muskrats can be avoided with a plan from muskrat control experts. | <urn:uuid:001c6624-0992-4086-b013-f5b1042cb358> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://exterminateur-quebec.ca/en/rodent-control/muskrat-control/ | 2023-09-28T18:48:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.929288 | 472 |

Early Access Game Update #10
A new version of the Second World War is now available. Update #10 is intended to be our final Early Access Update. The plan is to have the game ready for an official release sometime next month. Many of the previous updates were focused on the AI. In this release we begin to turn our attention again towards features and UI clean up.
Submarine detection behavior has been significantly improved. Now ships and aircraft with sub detection capability only have a % chance to see a sub on a given turn. This allows us to give higher level units improved sub sighting ability and expand the stealth gameplay of the submarine units. Enemy subs can more easily sneak up on a fleet, engage and retreat.
The naval AI received some further attention. Nations will no longer send their fleets to bombard land forces while ignoring Coastal Defense attacks against it. This was leading to some unwise shipping losses in the English Channel. The AI will now prioritize target coastal batteries but generally avoid dangerous sea regions - except when enemy transports appear. We also made changes to encourage naval AI to provide escorts for their capital ships.
A couple of features suggested by a Steam Forum user were added. Aircraft, Missiles and Artillery units can now directly target enemy Artillery groups. Before the attack order applied damages to all land units in a region. And the Strafing Order was changed from only running a single turn to being continuous until canceled. Both these ideas seemed good enough to squeeze in, even though we’re not really in an add new features phase.
The UI has been getting small fixes, mostly tasks like adding missing properties in the Encyclopedia and improving labeling consistency. The Encyclopedia is still missing a lot of description information, as is the lobby. Many of these items have been written but not yet put into the game. They will all be filled in for the final release.
In version 10 we have introduced an in-game, light tutorial for new users. This will mostly present information about the UI and also be some introductory gameplay hints. We are looking at adding a Glossary to the Encyclopedia that will also include more howto information.
The Second World War is almost complete. And while there is a lot of work ahead, the remaining items on our must-have list are dwindling fast. It’s been a long haul getting the game to this point - much longer than we planned for. I’m going to save the excuses for the post release recap. In the meantime, thank you to all the current users out there who have offered us feedback and bug reports. This process would have taking us even longer without your support.

- Majority of the job posting data that we have were posted ~30 days ago. There's not much of job vacancy that were posted in recently.
- Since this data only consited of data profession, the most common word that would appear is data, product, business, analytic, and Python.
- Majority of the data profession job vacancy that were posted in indeed is located in Jakarta.
- Each for the data role has variation in job title that mostly consisted of the addition of Senior, Junior, Lead and probably the business function that they working on.
- Except for the 3 common data roles that we currently analyzed, Business Intelligence is also frequently appeared. We can also see there are Big Data Engineers that used different vocab as the name of job title but mostly have similar job descriptions as the others.
- The stand-alone title without the addition of adjective (senior, junior) is the most common title for each of the data role.
- For Data Analyst, reporting and insight is the one that can differentiate them amongst the others.
- For Data Engineer, data warehouse, data pipeline, and infrastructure is the one words that can differentiate this role from the others.
- For Data scientists, we can also see a word that could differentiate this role from the others are machine learning and model. | <urn:uuid:30bce391-f203-4195-a36b-174149f63afc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fadilah.webflow.io/works/comparison-of-uni-lstm-and-bi-lstm-for-text-classification-of-data-roles-august-2021 | 2023-09-28T18:02:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963713 | 330 |
Prescription medication misuse and abuse are growing public health problems among older adults; these problems are associated with many serious consequences, and often go unrecognized.
Misuse of prescription medications, also referred to as non-medical use of prescription drugs. This problem is growing because of the size of the baby boom population as well as the boomers greater acceptance of and experiences with using prescription medications and illicit drugs. One indicator of this growth is emergency department (ED) visits involving medication misuse and abuse; from 2004 to 2008, there was a 121 percent increase in ED visits involving prescription medication misuse by older Americans.
Problematic prescription medication use by older adults is usually unintentional, and most misused medications are obtained legally through prescriptions. However, unintentional prescription medication misuse can progress to abuse if an older adult continues to use a medication for the desirable effects it provides. Furthermore, tolerance and physical dependence can develop in some older adults when certain psychoactive medications, such as benzodiazepines, are taken regularly at the therapeutic appropriate dose for brief periods.
Nature of the Problem
Older adults are among those most vulnerable to medication misuse and abuse because they use more prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications than other age groups. They are likely to experience more problems with relatively small amounts of medications because of increased medication sensitivity as well as slower metabolism and elimination.
Older adults are at high risk for medication misuse due to conditions like pain, sleep disorders/insomnia, and anxiety that commonly occur in this population. They are, therefore, more likely to receive prescriptions for psychoactive medications with misuse and abuse potential, such as opioid analgesics for pain and central nervous system depressants like benzodiazepines for sleep disorders and anxiety.
Approximately 25 percent of older adults use prescription psychoactive medications that have a potential to be misused and abused. Older adults are more likely to use psychoactive medications for longer periods than younger adults. Longer periods of use increases the risk of misuse and abuse. In addition to concerns regarding misuse of medications alone, the combination of alcohol and medication misuse has been estimated to affect up to 19 percent of older Americans.
Definitions of Proper Use, Misuse, Abuse, and Dependence
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has defined the continuum of use of psychoactive prescription medications as follows:
- Proper use—Taking only medications that have been prescribed, for the reasons the medications are prescribed, in the correct dosage, and for the correct duration
- Misuse (by patient)
- Dose level more than prescribed
- Longer duration than prescribed
- Use for purposes other than prescribed
- Use in conjunction with other medications or alcohol
- Skipping doses/hoarding drug
- Misuse (by practitioner)
- Prescription for inappropriate indication
- Prescription for unnecessary high dose
- Failure to monitor or fully explain appropriate use
- Abuse (by patient)
- Use resulting in declining physical or social function
- Use in risky situations (hazardous use)
- Continued use despite adverse social or personal consequences
- Use resulting in tolerance or withdrawal symptoms
- Unsuccessful attempts to stop or control use
- Preoccupation with attaining or using the drug
Misuse and abuse are distinct from medication mismanagement problems, such as forgetting to take medications, and confusion or lack of understanding about proper use. Medication mismanagement problems can also have serious consequences for older adults, but they have different risk factors and typically require different types of interventions.
What Are Psychoactive Medications?
Psychoactive substances act primarily on the central nervous system, where they affect brain function resulting in changes in mood, cognition, behavior, and consciousness as well as block the perception of pain. Some psychoactive substances also produce euphoric effects by acting on the pleasure center of the brain. The two classes of psychoactive prescription medications that are most problematic among older adults are opioid analgesics (also known as narcotic analgesics) used for the treatment of pain and benzodiazepines (also referred to as sedatives or tranquilizers) used primarily for the treatment of anxiety/nervousness and insomnia. Listed below are common opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines. These medications are frequently prescribed to older adults, have a high dependence and abuse potential, and interact with alcohol leading to many negative consequences. Pain relievers were the type of medication most commonly involved (43.5 percent) in older adults’ ED visits involving medication misuse, followed by medications for anxiety and insomnia (31.8 percent).
Common Benzodiazepines for anxiety, nervousness, and insomnia
- Alprazolam (Xanax®)
- Clorazepate (Tranxene®)
- Diazepam (Valium®)
- Estazolam (ProSom®)
- Flurazepam (Dalmane®)
- Lorazepam (Ativan®)
- Oxazepam (Serax®)
- Quazepam (Doral®)
- Temazepam (Restoril®)
- Triazolam (Halcion®)
Common Opioid Analgesics for pain
- Codeine (Tylenol #3®, Empirin® and Fiorinol® with codeine, Robitussin A-C®)
- Oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®, Percodan®)
- Hydrocodone (Vicodin®, Lortab®, Lorcet®, Tussionex®)
- Morphine (MS Contin®, Roxanol®, Kadian®, Avinza®)
- Meperidine (Demerol®)
- Hydromorphone (Dilaudid®)
- Fentanyl (Duragesic®, Actiq®)
- Tramadol (Ultram®)
Who is at Risk for Psychoactive Prescription Medication Misuse and Abuse?
A number of factors have been associated with an increased risk of psychoactive prescription medication misuse/abuse among older adults:
- Female gender
- Social isolation
- History of substance abuse
- A mental health disorder, particularly depression
Older women are at higher risk because they are more likely to use psychoactive medications, especially benzodiazepines. This use may be associated with divorce, widowhood, lower income, poorer health status, depression, and/or anxiety.
Preventing psychoactive prescription medication misuse and abuse requires a coordinated system of care that integrates medical/ physical health, behavioral health, and the aging services networks to fully address this growing problem. Older adults and their caregivers also play important roles in preventing the misuse of, abuse of, and dependence on psychoactive prescription medications.
Key Actions for Older Adults and Caregivers
- Carefully follow the directions for medication use; use the correct dose and only for as long as prescribed; ask about possible side effects and when to report these effects; read all medication-related information provided by doctors and pharmacists before starting a new medication.
- Inform doctors and pharmacists about all medications, including all OTC medications, that are being taken as well as alcohol use.
- Never use another person’s prescription medication.
- Inform the doctor if you believe a medication is not working. This is particularly important for pain management; older adults may take opioid analgesic medication in greater doses than prescribed if they are not getting adequate pain relief, which can potentially lead to misuse and abuse. Other medications or non-pharmaceutical approaches may be more appropriate before opioid analgesic doses are increased. | <urn:uuid:47db2c52-72ad-4157-83eb-2528f3f3e186> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://familycaregiversonline.net/prescription-medication-misuse-and-abuse-among-older-adults/ | 2023-09-28T17:47:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.916617 | 1,585 |

To the extent it can achieve that objective, in a practical way, especially for families under stress, at local level, it will increase its credibility and potential for good at all levels. | <urn:uuid:70d4a88f-4de7-4e69-a358-69aa2317fe37> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://familysolidarity.org/family-politics-not-party-politics/ | 2023-09-28T16:35:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.957858 | 237 |
In the realm of heartwarming tales, some stories manage to touch our souls in ways that are both unique and inspiring. The story of a little donkey named Duncan is one such narrative, a touching tribute that weaves together love, loss, and the enduring bond between humans and animals.
A sign of hope
In the heart of the Farma of Rhodes, amidst the ominous backdrop of the raging wildfires of 2023 (luckily, our farm was not affected), a tiny beacon of hope emerged when a baby donkey was born. Although he came to life during a difficult time, this little donkey brought a glimmer of light to our whole family. And as its story unfolded, it became a symbol of resilience, connection, and the power of love.
The birth announcement echoed across our social media, a joyful proclamation that life still flourished despite adversity. And then, a heartwarming response emerged from an unexpected source. Ellie, a friend of Farma of Rhodes whose own life was touched by a recent tragedy, reached out with a request she playfully acknowledged as “strange.” It was a request that held profound emotional significance and spoke volumes about the extraordinary woman her mother, Frankie, was.
The Story of Frankie
Frankie was not just an ordinary person; she was an artist with a legacy that continues to light up the world. Her creativity knew no bounds after leaving her mark through beloved works like The Smurfs, My Little Pony, The Snowman, and even iconic collaborations with Pink Floyd on projects like The Wall. Frankie’s artistic talent was not limited to a single medium, as her contributions ranged from animations that ignited our imaginations to illustrations that graced our lives.
However, it was not only her artistic prowess that defined her. She was a kind soul with an immense love for animals, a trait that many cherished about her. A particular quirk of hers was to name the donkeys she encountered in Greece “Duncan” or “Duncanina,” depending on their gender. These encounters proved her affection for these gentle creatures and her unique way of leaving a mark wherever she went.
Tragedy struck as Frankie, some time ago, left this world, leaving behind cherished memories and a huge void in the hearts and lives of all the people who knew and loved her. Amid grief, Ellie had a beautiful idea – a way to keep her mother’s legacy alive. She reached out to us, asking whether our newborn donkey could be named after Frankie as a tribute to her life and the love she held for all living creatures.
A woman, a donkey, and a bond of love
And so, little Duncan came into being, a furry embodiment of Frankie’s spirit and a living testament to the bond between a mother and her daughter.
Duncan, the donkey, now carries the name of a woman who touched countless lives, human and animal alike. A name infused with love and memories and that will resonate not only through our farm but also through the hearts of all people who knew and loved Frankie.
So, here’s to Frankie, an artist, an animal lover, and a cherished soul who lives on in every stroke of her art and in the playful spirit of little Duncan. As he grows, plays, and roams the farm, Duncan ensures that Frankie’s legacy remains alive, creating a bridge between the past and the present and reminding us that love knows no boundaries – not even between a woman and a donkey named Duncan. | <urn:uuid:c0dbee01-fc39-4273-a0d3-a9543ded142d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://farma-rhodes.com/meet-little-duncan-the-donkey-named-with-love/ | 2023-09-28T17:50:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.962042 | 719 |
Obituary of Reverend Dr. LeRoy W. Kettinger
The Reverend Dr. LeRoy W. Kettinger, 81, passed away on May 27, 2023, at Auburn Community Hospital (Auburn, NY). LeRoy was born in Mansfield (OH) to The Rev. Burton Edward and Mary Jane (Probst) Kettinger. As a child and teen, he lived in Cleveland and Warren (OH) and was active in the Ohio Conference of the Free Methodist Church enjoying Bible quizzing, preaching competitions, singing in church, and assisting his father with worship. He attended Roberts Wesleyan University in Rochester (NY) and while there met Wilma Lawson. They were married on June 8, 1963, and in the reception line after the wedding was offered the opportunity to pastor a Free Methodist Church in New Middletown (OH) which he and Wilma accepted. That began a wonderful career in ministry including appointments at New Middletown, Cleveland (OH), Director of Youth Ministries for the Free Methodist Church (Winona Lake, IN), Columbus (OH), and Seattle (WA), as well as graduating from Youngstown State University (OH) and Asbury Theological Seminary (KY) where he completed his Master of Divinity degree. After pastoring the Seattle First FMC at Seattle Pacific University, LeRoy accepted a position at Roberts Wesleyan University where he worked for 9 years as Vice President for Student Services. He also served as Dean of the Chapel, and during that time completed his Doctor of Divinity at United Theological Seminary (OH). The years at Roberts were some of his favorites, and the opportunity to minister to and build relationships with students were memories he cherished. Those years also included an interim appointment at the Lockport FMC (NY) and summers serving as the camp evangelist at church camps across the Northeast, Midwest, and Canada. After Roberts, LeRoy returned to ministry as the lead pastor of the Dearborn Free Methodist Church (MI) followed by a few more years working in higher education, consulting, and time as pastor of Christ Chapel Wesleyan Church (Hamlin, NY). In 1998, he became the Senior Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Auburn (NY) where he and Wilma began what resulted in 25 years of ministry in the Auburn community. LeRoy loved his Auburn parishioners, friends, and network of ministers. He retired from the First United Methodist Church but never really retired. His most recent ministries included serving as Chaplain at Auburn Community Hospital, Chaplain of The Commons at St. Anthony, and Pastor of St. Andrews United Methodist Church (Mottville, NY), as well as officiating at numerous weddings and funerals. LeRoy was someone who enjoyed people. You could often find him at a local diner with friends, participating in community events, taking part in a prayer breakfast with the local ministerial association, or spending time with his ever-growing family. He loved his family, ministry, and Auburn community, and throughout his lifetime kept a close association with his home state of Ohio spending summers at the Kettinger Cottage in Mansfield, OH. LeRoy is survived by his wife of 60 years, Wilma, children Kirk (Michelle), Kevin (Elsa), Valerie (Darby), Janelle (Rudy), 14 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and brother Burt Kettinger. A Memorial Service will be held at Pearce Memorial Free Methodist Church (N. Chili, NY) on Saturday, July 8Th at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Roberts Wesleyan University or Northeastern Seminary, 2301 Westside Drive, Rochester, NY 14624.

Father's Gourmet Prime Rib Seasoning - 8 oz. resealable bag This is Charlie Gatton's signature blend of selected seasonings that he has hand rubbed on his prime rib for years. Until recently, the only ones who enjoyed this unique flavor were family and friends who were fortunate enough to sit in the dining room and enjoy the prime rib he slow cooked over a hickory smoked grill. The family often joked about the time it took to prepare the meal. He refused to rush; it had to be perfect, and the meal has often been delayed. As he began to carve the masterpiece, mouths began to water. It is always perfect, and always delicious. The special blends of select seasoning add a robust flavor because of the addition of the unforgettable flavor. The special blend was designed to compliment beef. It was used exclusively for beef for years. After many requests that this seasoning be available to the public, he decided to package his preferred seasoning for prime rib and steak; however, it was proven to compliment all types of food. Just sprinkle generously on thick pork chops and grill to perfection or mix with flour and bread them to fry. Place a roast in the crock pot surrounded by vegetables and sprinkle. The aroma is unbelievable when you return home. Pull the skin loose and sprinkle the chicken, then replace the skin and sprinkle lightly and grill. This may be the best chicken you have ever eaten. Excellent on elk, venison, and hamburgers. Seafood is superb. This allows you to cook like a gourmet chef at home. This takes cooking to a level that is seriou, but the ease is unbelievable. This is one secret ingredient you should never be without.

Bath Abbey is probably the most important historic building in the famous World Heritage City, and it's about to experience some of the most exciting times of its entire history!
The present Abbey, dating from 1499, is undoubtedly one of the finest perpendicular medieval Gothic buildings in the world. Sitting directly atop a Norman Cathedral it has also been the spiritual centre of the city since time immemorial (indeed it’s thought the remains of a Roman ‘tholos’ tomb sits directly beneath the Abbey’s font!). The Abbey is also crammed full of craftsmanship – indeed it’s second only to Westminster Cathedral in having more carved memorials than any other church in England!
The Abbey’s £19m Footprint Project, which has been developed by our creative re-use studio at FCBStudios, will provide new and much-needed facilities for the Abbey and its 400,000 annual visitors. Many of the new spaces will be developed by creating new spaces underground including a new Song School, interpretation spaces, meeting rooms and a refectory. These works will include excavation down to Roman levels of archaeology and so reveal and interpret new layers of history in the city as part of the scheme.
But it’s perhaps inside the church that the most important and remarkable changes of all are planned as part of the Footprint project…
Within the church a huge repair project is underway for the historic floor which contains the bodies of an estimated 6,000 burials. Few people know that the floor surface of Bath Abbey is completely paved with beautiful carved memorial stones which have been hidden from view by the pews since they were installed in the 1860s. However as part of the repair process this magnificent carpet of life stories is being revealed for the first time in over 150 years. The repair project will uncover a treasure trove of life stories of those laid to rest in the Abbey, including many of those who lived during the heyday of the Georgian city.
But if that’s not exciting enough, perhaps the most remarkable proposal comes as part of a future environmental solution. The project will see the Abbey heated by a revolutionary new under floor heating system that will draw its primary heat from the UK’s only naturally occurring thermal hot water – in the 2,000 year old drain of the Roman Baths next door!
The Roman hot spring water currently runs into the River Avon at around 37 degrees Celsius, with enough water to fill a bath every 8 seconds! The Footprint project will reclaim this heat in a new vaults space as part of a new visitor experience, and as part of the new solution will save the Abbey thousands of pounds on its annual fuel bills and carbon emissions for the future.
Of course this design solution isn’t rocket science – and the Romans probably would have sorted it out 1,500 years ago had they still been around – but it’s a unique and particularly fitting way to make a public statement about sustainable development for the largest medieval building at the centre of a World Heritage City! | <urn:uuid:6fbeaff3-faca-4cfe-9677-c063fa910967> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fcbstudios.com/practice/explore/bath-abbey-just-add-water/ | 2023-09-28T16:50:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.964356 | 628 |

Oh, sweet irony: I’ve been invited to sample Soup Man many times in the past but have had to decline due to a scheduling conflict each time. This time, feeling antsy on a Friday, I invited myself to join TC’s plans and met up with him at the original location in Midtown. After staring at the menu for a long time, Tweeting about what I might get, I finally settled on the most expensive soup: lobster bisque. My throat was hurting, and I wanted soup.
Since we were going to, um, eat after this, I ordered the smallest size – 8 ounces – for $8. This came with a Lindt’s milk chocolate truffle that I gave to TC, a lovely plum, and a slice of bread. Considering all that stuff comes with whatever size you get – even the cheaper soups, which bottom out at $5 for the small size – it isn’t a bad lunch at all.
I was a little surprised when I opened the soup itself though.
The first time I had bisque, I was eight years old and my father brought me some from his workplace. He gave it to me, and after I’d eaten it, I asked why it was so smooth. “Because bisque is smooth.” Bisque is classically a pureed & strained soup, completely smooth – though most of the time, when I’ve ordered it in restaurants, chunks of seafood graced the top. The liquid part was always completely smooth, though. Here, it was filled with a small dice of various vegetables (red peppers, celery, etc). Ironically, I tend to avoid ordering bisque because I like texture in my food, and soup is no exception. However, I ordered the bisque on this day because my throat hurt and I wanted a soup I could quickly drink, soothing my sore throat. Oh, irony.
All this isn’t to say I didn’t like it, however. The flavor was intense – a lot of red bell pepper sweetness, and big chunks of lobster, warranting the larger price tag. I enjoyed my cup of soup greatly, though it floated through my head that I wish they wouldn’t call it bisque. Understandably, I wouldn’t allow it to be called chowder, either (no potatoes), so I don’t have a better name for it. (Note: I am not against interpretations or creative license. I just don’t like when certain words are used on a menu that mean one thing – in this case, bisque, indicating a completely smooth soup – and then that’s not what I get. At least an explanation on the menu so we know what we are getting; otherwise, what’s the point of knowing all these food words when they are used to mean something else, or in this case, the complete opposite?)
Yvo says: What I ordered was really quite delicious – I would not hesitate to get this again, if I were in the mood – and I would totally recommend those who like lobster soups to try this at least once. I initially thought the price was a bit high, but after having it, I can see where it deserves that price.

Hannah Perez is an interviewer for a local TV station. She has just finished taping her interview with Lucy Purr, an esteemed local businesswoman. As the story begins, Hannah’s cameraman, Jeff, has gone out to the news van to begin a rough edit of the footage. Hannah gets up from her chair, grabs her legal pad and joins Lucy on the couch. Hannah shakes Lucy’s hand, thanking her for taking time out of her busy schedule to talk with her. Lucy says that it was her pleasure and that she has always enjoyed Hannah’s reporting. Lucy moves one of her well-heeled feet closer to Hannah, slightly tapping Hannah’s well-heeled foot. Hannah says that she and Jeff make a great team, and Lucy disinterested, agrees that he’s great. Hannah gets a little excited and winded, then drops her legal pad to the floor. Hannah apologizes, bends down and grabs the pad. As Hannah begins to get up, Lucy grabs her face and kisses her. Hannah’s hand runs across Lucy’s well-heeled foot and runs it up Lucy’s leg as she gets back on the couch.
The two women continue to make out. At one point, Lucy grabs Hannah’s ass. After a few moments of the women taking turns rubbing their well-heeled feet up and around each other’s legs, they undress (as far as they want to go). Their moans slowly get louder. They dry-hump vigorously. At the end, Hannah Perez and Lucy are both thankful that Jeff didn’t catch them…and the two women look directly into the camera and smile! | <urn:uuid:c226869d-9287-4fb3-af7b-a5bf968b2596> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fetishlandstudios.com/product/mutual-admiration/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.956781 | 358 |

Hollywood action film star Tom Cruise is filming of for the upcoming Top Gun Sequel “Top Gun: Maverick”. In this Article, We will tell you about the latest news from Top gun Set
Top Gun Sequel filming halted mid-flight as Tom Cruise’s F/A-18 experiences mid-air issue
Tom Cruise had to cut short the filming of an aerial sequence after a “flap warning” indication appeared in the U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet he was flying in Monday afternoon, September 17, 2018. The aircraft diverted to an alternate airfield following the incident.
The 56-year old actor was photographed wearing U.S. Navy flight gear and a specially painted Gentex HGU-68/P lightweight flight helmet. The photos were said to have been taken at “an airbase in Nevada” and have circulated on Hollywood gossip and aviation fan blogs including TMZ.com.
As reported by TMZ, Cruise flew in an F/A-18 with a Hornet driver from an airbase in northern California.
The U.S. Naval Aviator acts as the actor’s double, while Cruise sits at the back of aircraft with
cameras facing his point of view. According to Express, the two were snapped at an airbase in Nevada, having had to make an unscheduled landing after the jet saw a “flap caution” mid-air
Photo leaked from the set proves Maverick is going to use a customized version of the modern @USNavy HGU-68/P flight helmet instead of the old-fashioned HGU-33 shown in the first image image teased by @TomCruise (right image edit from shot leaked here: https://t.co/mFBpWxfwAz) pic.twitter.com/eV6x4NC2ij

However Maverick and his pilot soon flew back to California in another plane though. The actor returns as Maverick in the highly anticipated Top Gun 2. His character is now a flight instructor who will mentor Goose’s son. Noteworthy Maverick’s ride for Top Gun sequel will be a cool special painted F/A-18F Super Hornet.
Other photos surfaced on the “Eggs, Bacon and Joey Morning Show” Facebook page that showed Tom Cruise dressed in a flight suit shaking hands with men and women also in military flight suits at Naval Air Station Lemoore in Kings County and Fresno County in Central California. F/A-18 aircraft appear in the background including the tips of the twin tails of one F/A-18 painted in colors that may be similar to the one we showed in a previous update that will be used in the filming of the upcoming “Top Gun: Maverick”.
Word on the street is that Tom Cruise is going to learn how to fly the Super Hornet for TOP GUN 2 – makes an aviation photojournalist look decidedly amateur!

Tom Cruise Spotted Riding a Kawasaki Ninja H2 on the Set of Top Gun: Maverick
It looks like world-famous actor Tom Cruise isn’t the only old relic who is coming back to the new Top Gun: Maverick film. In the sequel that’s happening more than 30 years after the original movie was released, Kawasaki is also making a comeback in the shape of Cruise’s two-wheeled transportation or should we say Pete ‘Maverick” Mitchell, according to this photo published by People.
Taken on Jun. 1, 2018 the video in this post shows Tom Cruise riding a motorcycle around airfield as Maverick in first pictures from Top Gun: Maverick set.
According to Daily Mail, the bike wasn’t the only vehicle present Maverick is used to handling; also parked at the San Diego military base was one of the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets that will likely feature in the movie.
No “Top Gun” sequel would be complete without the need for speed, and photos have surfaced of Tom Cruise being filmed as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell riding a new Kawasaki Ninja H2R motorcycle on a runway for a possible title sequence that reprises the original 1986 sequence. This new Kawasaki Ninja H2R replaces the Kawasaki GPZ900R that he rode in the original 1986 film. “Maverick”’s new Ninja H2R displaces 998cc’s and has a top speed of (seriously) Mach .327 or between 206 and 249 MPH.
Top Gun Sequel “Top Gun: Maverick”
Filming for “Top Gun: Maverick” has also been taking place onboard the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) during August. Film crews from Paramount and Bruckheimer Films were aboard the carrier until Sunday, August 26
The movie was assigned a theatrical release date of Jul. 12, 2019 last year, but unfortunately for eager fans, the sequel has delayed nearly an entire year, assigning it a new release date of Jun. 26, 2020.
Top Gun: Maverick will likely feature the Navy’s new Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters alongside older Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets. Last month, in fact, a film crew from Paramount Pictures was aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) the same time the Navy began launching F-35C jets off the ship interchangeably with F/A-18E/F Super Hornets as an integrated air wing. | <urn:uuid:3abba5d8-575f-49d5-8adb-1693c515e4e0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fighterjetsworld.com/air/fighter-jets-videos/top-gun-sequel-in-flight-emergency-tom-cruises-new-motorcycle/7985/ | 2023-09-28T17:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.930072 | 1,207 |

Botanical Name ; Betula lenta
Species: B. lenta
Synonyms: Betula carpinifolia.
Habitat : Betula lenta is native to eastern North America, from southern Maine west to southernmost Ontario, and south in the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia.
It grows in the rich woodlands, preferring north-facing slopes and moist soils. It is also found on rocky soils.
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree reaching 20 m tall with a trunk up to 60 cm diameter. In younger trees the bark is characteristic of most Birches with smooth bark and horizontal fissures. It can sometimes be mistakenly identified as a Cherry tree. In some older tree specimens the bark can (unlike most birches)develop vertical cracks into irregular scaly plates revealing rough darkish brown bark patterns. This however, does not occur in all specimens. The twigs, when scraped, have a strong scent of oil of wintergreen. The leaves are alternate, ovate, 5-10 cm long and 4-8 cm broad, with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins 3-6 cm long, the male catkins pendulous, the female catkins erect. The fruit, maturing in fall, is composed of numerous tiny winged seeds packed between the catkin bracts

It is in flower in April, and the seeds ripen in October. The flowers are monoecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but both sexes can be found on the same plant) and are pollinated by Wind.Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in heavy clay soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very acid soils.
It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It prefers moist soil.
An easily grown plant, it succeeds in a well-drained loamy soil in a sheltered position. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Dislikes wet soils. Shade tolerant. Cherry birch is said to tolerate an annual precipitation of ca 60 to 150cm, an average annual temperature range of 5 to 12°C, and a pH of 4.5 to 7.5. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus. The bruised foliage has a strong smell of wintergreen. A good plant to grow near the compost heap, aiding the fermentation process. Trees can be coppiced on a cycle of 5 years or more. Trees are notably susceptible to honey fungus. Special Features: Attracts birds, North American native, Inconspicuous flowers or blooms.
Seed – best sown as soon as it is ripe in a light position in a cold frame. Only just cover the seed and place the pot in a sunny position. Spring sown seed should be surface sown in a sunny position in a cold frame. If the germination is poor, raising the temperature by covering the seed with glass can help. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a cold frame for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. If you have sufficient seed, it can be sown in an outdoor seedbed, either as soon as it is ripe or in the early spring – do not cover the spring sown seed. Grow the plants on in the seedbed for 2 years before planting them out into their permanent positions in the winter.
Inner bark – cooked or dried and ground into a powde. Sweet and spicy. The dried inner bark can be used as a thickener in soups etc or can be added to flour when making bread etc. Inner bark is generally only seen as a famine food, used when other forms of starch are not available or are in short supply[K]. Sap – raw or cooked. A sweet flavour. It is harvested in early spring, before the leaves unfurl, by tapping the trunk. The flow is best on sunny days following a heavy frost. A delicious drink, it can also be concentrated into a syrup or sugar. The sap can be fermented to make birch beer or vinegar. An old English recipe for the beer is as follows:- “To every Gallon of Birch-water put a quart of Honey, well stirr’d together; then boil it almost an hour with a few Cloves, and a little Limon-peel, keeping it well scumm’d. When it is sufficiently boil’d, and become cold, add to it three or four Spoonfuls of good Ale to make it work…and when the Test begins to settle, bottle it up . . . it is gentle, and very harmless in operation within the body, and exceedingly sharpens the Appetite, being drunk ante pastum.”. The dried leaves and bark from the larger roots are a delightful tea substitute. A wholesome, agreeable tea is made from the essential oil contained in the inner bark and twigs. This essential oil is also used as a wintergreen flavouring in foods.
Medicinal Uses: The cambium (the layer directly under the bark) is eaten in the spring, cut into strips like vermicelli. The bark, in the form of an infusion is used as a general stimulant and to promote sweating. As a decoction or syrup, it is used as a tonic for dysentery and is said to be useful in genito-urinary irritation. The flavor of wintergreen and birch bark, in the form of a tea, was popular with Native Americans and European settlers. The juice of the leaves once made a gargle for mouth sores. Throughout the centuries, the sap has been used in making medicinal wine and were made into a diuretic tea. Also an ingredient in skin lotions.
Other Uses: Landscape Uses:Specimen, Woodland garden.
Betula lenta was used commercially in the past for production of oil of wintergreen before modern industrial synthesis; the tree’s name reflects this scent of the shoots.
The sap flows about a month later than maple sap, and much faster. The trees can be tapped in a similar fashion, but must be gathered about three times more often. Birch sap can be boiled the same as maple sap, but its syrup is stronger (like molasses).
Betula lenta’s leaves serve as food for some lepidopteran caterpillars. See List of Lepidoptera that feed on birches.
Known Hazards: The essential oil obtained from the bark contains 97 – 99% methyl salicylate. This is very toxic when taken orally, and it can also be absorbed through the skin, resulting in human fatalities. As little as 4, 700 mg can be fatal in children. The aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons in birch tar are irritating to the skin. Do not use in patients with oedema or with poor kidney or heart functions.

2021 Veiga Naum Rias Baixas - 750ml
If you like your wines with bright fruit and fresh, minerally flavors, Veiga Naum's Albariño should be right up your alley. Made entirely in stainless, this Albariño has perfumed pach and apricot notes, zesty acidity and a hint of stony minerals. Excellent with food.
Wine With Bok - 9/10 Stars
Bodegas Riojanas is a grand old names of Rioja, they have been producing wines since 1890. This Rias Baixas coming from Spain has been recognized widely by wine critics. The wine producer was so proud of it they had a sticker on the bottle that says “91 points from Decanter.” While I may not be fully agreeable with Decanter, I find the wine is lively and fun to drink. A good bouquet to start off with, a blend of orange blossom as well as a composite of variety of fruits. The character of Albarino is quite well expressed with this wine, almost a cross-breed of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as the sharp taste and elevated acidity was undoubtedly very Sauvignon Blanc, while the fruity aspect was very similar to new world Chardonnay. Probably a worthwhile try for an adventurous ride over different grape varietals.
Wine Enthusiast - 92 points
This medium-straw-colored wine has a bouquet of lemon, green apple, vanilla and dried Mediterranean herbs. Bold flavors of grapefruit and passion fruit mingle with notes of butterscotch and crumbled sage. A sense of creaminess fades into a bright, citrus-filled finish.

Aquatic therapy, hydrotherapy, pool therapy—no matter how you refer to it, it’s one of the best forms of exercise, providing everyone, from professional to leisure swimmers alike, with various physical, psychological, and health benefits.
At iPool, our mission has long been to provide an easy-to-assemble, durable, and inexpensive way for people to exercise and heal in the comfort of their own home. In developing a series of at-home aquatic therapy pools, we’ve invested in an easily attainable state of happiness and wellbeing—one of which thousands of Americans experience daily.
So whether you’re looking to improve your health and fitness or alleviate pain and symptoms, we break down everything you need to know about hydrotherapy, and why you should add it to your workout list!
Swimming is a low-impact workout that targets every region of your body and helps improve a variety of conditions, including posture, flexibility, endurance, strength, and more. Additionally, water-based exercises yield the following benefits:
- Improved cardiovascular system
- Reduced blood pressure
- Reduced stress
- Alleviated joint pressure
- Increased calories burned
- Reduced swelling
- Relaxed muscles
- Reduced blood sugar levels
- Reduced severity of cancer treatment side effects
How It Works
Using the physical and scientific qualities of water, pool therapy offers the perfect properties for both healing and exercise. The three most important are buoyancy, resistance, and temperature. Buoyancy is essentially the ability for things to float, meaning a portion of your body is supported by the water. This makes performing moves and motions easier, and helps increase flexibility. Resistance, however, allows for some difficulty, forcing muscles to work harder. The temperature of the water helps promote healing, with cold water constricting veins and forcing blood into organs, and hot water dilating veins and ridding the body of waste.
From jogging and aerobics to weight lifting and aquatic massages, there are a variety of hydrotherapy exercises you can try out. Each is intended to alleviate a certain symptom, tone a certain muscle, or improve a certain health condition. Some include:
- Ai Chi
- Water walking or jogging
- Aquatic bicycling
- Forward and side lunges
- Pool planks

I do know a few of you’re most likely getting bored with my ground plans by now, however I’m having enjoyable mulling over concepts that I give you and concepts that a few of you’ve gotten given me. And I simply love ground plans anyway. Till we purchased this home, considered one of my favourite previous instances was to go to a type of web sites that has 1000’s of ground plans obtainable and simply search and look and plan and dream. I may spend a whole day ground plans and by no means get bored.
Quickly after we purchased our home in 2013, I used a free on-line floorplan creator referred to as Floorplanner to make a ground plan of our home. As soon as I created the unique ground plan, I simply used my trusty picture modifying software program (this is the one I use) to make edits. After years and years of creating edits to the identical ground plan, the plan had turn into distorted and out of scale. So now that I’m eager to check out totally different concepts earlier than assembly with the architect about our upcoming addition, I made a decision I wish to begin with a recent, new, and to-scale ground plan.
So I headed again to Floorplanner solely to search out that I couldn’t make modifications to my ground plan at no cost. It required that I buy credit to make modifications, and I’m not fascinated by that. I knew there needed to be one other free different, so I went on the hunt. I attempted a number of that I wasn’t happy with in any respect, however then I discovered SmartDraw. (No, this isn’t sponsored. I actually did simply occur upon it.) It’s solely free for a seven day trial, however that’s loads of time for me to create a ground plan! And it doesn’t require any bank card info to make use of it throughout that seven day trial.
I discovered it to be fairly simple to make use of, and whereas I want it had extra choices to “furnish” the rooms (for instance, there are not any choices in any respect for train gear, and the choices for widespread rooms like bedrooms and residing rooms appeared fairly minimal), I had enjoyable utilizing what they’ve obtainable. Try the ground plan I made…
Isn’t that enjoyable?! In fact, my foremost objective was to mock up our addition in order that it’s just about to scale in order that I may add furnishings and get a significantly better thought of what I’m working with. And as soon as I had a extra correct image of it, with extra correct measurements, I had a significantly better understanding of what was doable with the house obtainable.
I like seeing a ground plan displaying the furnishings structure! You’ll be able to see that I put a eating desk within the entrance front room simply to check out that concept. And in addition, since my plan of placing a eating room space within the new household room didn’t pan out, I added a storage closet and a laundry room again into that house.
I appeared over each concept that y’all despatched me about laundry rooms, laundry closets, hidden washers and dryers in customized cupboards, and so forth. So a lot of these concepts had been wonderful, and I thought-about so a lot of them and tried incorporating them into the ground plan. However in the long run, I went again to having a devoted laundry room. That is our ultimate home, which is why we’re keen to spend as a lot as wanted (nicely, inside motive) to customise it for our particular wants and desires. And the actual fact is that I’ve by no means had a laundry room earlier than in my life, and it’s one thing I’ve been dreaming of for a very long time. So in the long run, I made a decision I’m not keen to present that up.
After which a commenter jogged my memory that I had needed a storage closet particularly for issues like Matt’s Hoyer elevate, bathe wheelchair, and different objects like that in order that I can retailer them out of sight after they’re not in use somewhat than having them sit within the nook of a room. I can’t keep in mind who that was, however thanks!!
That utterly slipped my thoughts, and I might have been so pissed off had we constructed a whole addition, and I needed to proceed storing these issues out within the open within the nook of a room (or rooms). Proper now, Matt’s Hoyer elevate lives within the nook of the visitor bed room (the bed room we’re presently utilizing as our foremost bed room), and I can’t even let you know the variety of instances that issues spins round and hits me as I’m making an attempt to squeeze by it every day. His bathe wheelchair lives within the bathe when he’s not utilizing it, and I’d like to get that out of there. And his common wheelchair stays within the dwelling health club by his train bike when he’s not utilizing it. That simply makes vacuuming that room much more troublesome. So sure, having a storage closet for these issues is crucial, and I can’t consider I forgot about that! Having that storage closet for these objects is certainly the next precedence for me than having a eating space within the household room.
So the brand new bed room may have a storage closet in addition to a complete wall of wardrobes. I additionally added a hearth within the bed room, which Matt has all the time needed. I put home windows flanking the mattress, and French doorways out to the again yard. I had needed so as to add home windows flanking the French doorways as a result of I like all of the pure gentle I can get, however Matt mentioned it was an excessive amount of for him. And since he spends far more time within the bed room than I do, he will get the ultimate say on that.
Within the laundry room, I did an L-shaped design with the washer and dryer simply contained in the door. Sadly, stacking the washer and dryer isn’t consumer pleasant for me as a result of I’m so quick. (I measured, and whereas I might be capable of attain the controls on the stacked dryer, I wouldn’t be capable of truly see the controls. 😀 So I’d have to make use of a step stool each single time, and I’d somewhat keep away from that trouble.) I additionally put a utility sink in there. I envision higher cupboards throughout the room for additional storage.
Within the household room, I did a wall of bookshelves on the left as you enter from the music room, and on the alternative wall, a hearth. And on the again wall, I added three home windows (the identical configuration we now have within the entrance front room and the breakfast room) and French doorways main out to the again yard. And I do need these French doorways, in addition to the French doorways within the bed room, opening out as an alternative of in. My mother had new French doorways added to her breakfast room and den that each open out onto her wonderful coated patio, and I simply adore it. That approach, the swing of the doorways doesn’t intervene with furnishings placement contained in the rooms.
In all probability the principle change I made is that as an alternative of getting the doorway to the bed room nearer to the wall of wardrobes, I’ve moved it to the far exterior wall. I did that for a number of causes. First, I like that it makes the bed room really feel extra separated from the “public” areas of the home. Additionally, I like that it opens up that exterior wall and permits for another window to usher in extra pure gentle. And at last, the location of the laundry room near the again exterior wall of the home is smart to me in order that on these days after I’m working outdoors and making a whole mess of myself, I can come within the again door, go on to the laundry room and drop off work garments, earlier than heading into the bed room.
So I believe I’ve the ground plan found out, and I sit up for assembly with the architect to see what he thinks, or if he has any higher concepts.
However as a result of I like ground plans a lot, listed here are a number of shut ups of the ground plan for the opposite areas of the home. I simply love these! 😀
Right here’s a more in-depth take a look at the entire main bedroom, plus the laundry room and the hallway lavatory. The massive, clean space within the grasp lavatory is the bathe. I couldn’t discover a good technique to designate that space because the bathe utilizing their instruments.
That is what I might name the principle public hall via the home, from the entrance door, via the (future) eating room, music room, kitchen, household room, and out the again doorways to the again yard.
These are all the areas off of the hallway — the hallway lavatory, visitor bed room, and residential health club. Proper now, the one technique to entry the grasp lavatory is thru the house health club. It’s an ungainly ground plan proper now, however as soon as the addition is constructed, it’ll all come collectively and make extra sense. However even after the addition is constructed, I plan to maintain the doorway between the toilet and the house health club. It simply is smart to me to have these rooms accessible to one another.
On this ground plan, I didn’t embody a passthrough from the kitchen to the household room. I’m nonetheless mulling over that concept, so I made a decision to depart it off for now.
And at last, right here’s my studio, studio lavatory, storage closet, and again studio entry, which is all accessible via the breakfast room. The carport with the very good wheelchair ramp sits behind the studio via these French doorways, however I didn’t put it on the ground plan.
And right here’s another take a look at the entire ground plan with the addition…
I can’t wait to get began on this addition! It’s going to be a dream to have such a big bed room, a devoted laundry/utility room, and a pleasant, open household room. However for now, I can simply stare at my new ground plan and dream.
Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I transform and embellish the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013.

P0778 - PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "B" ELECTRICAL
Description of DTC code P0778
Automatic transmissions rely on varying degrees of hydraulic pressure to shift gears and engage transmission components such as clutches and belts. To make these shifts efficient, the vehicle's computer uses pressure control solenoids to direct transmission fluid from one hydraulic circuit to another.
For automatic transmissions to achieve an efficient process for setting gear ratios, the fluid must be channeled precisely. If a pressure control solenoid fails, the fluid cannot be effectively controlled. If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the output voltage of the pressure control solenoid "B" is problematic or out of range, it will set DTC P0778 OBDII.
Symptoms of fault code P0778
- Check Engine light is on.
- Gear changes are hard.
- Transmission slipping and overheating.
- Poor fuel economy.
- Other transmission-related fault codes are stored.
- The car goes into emergency mode.
- The gearbox slips when shifting gears.
Causes of OBD2 P0778
The factors for which the P0778 OBD2 diagnostic code is stored are:
- Perhaps the system has bad wiring or connectors.
- Pressure control solenoid "B" may be faulty.
- The transmission fluid could be contaminated or excessively low.
- The valve body may be damaged.
Possible solutions of the DTC code P0778
The steps to fix the P0778 OBDII fault code are:
- Consult your vehicle's service manual for information on the location of the pressure control solenoid "B" and its wiring. Then inspect them for damage such as wear, burning, or corrosion. Repair or replace any wires that require repair or replacement.
- Perform resistance, continuity, ground, and reference voltage tests on all wiring connected to the solenoid. All values obtained must be within the manufacturer's specifications. Repair it as applicable.
- Verify that the transmission fluid has a level necessary for proper operation and that it is not dirty or contaminated. Replace it if required.
- Test the internal resistance of the solenoid, taking as reference the steps indicated in the user's manual. If the internal resistance of the solenoid is not as specified by the manufacturer, it must be replaced. | <urn:uuid:6a0a563a-0de4-4a62-80ed-c620c3cca8aa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fixtroublecodes.com/p0778/ | 2023-09-28T18:11:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.848568 | 495 |
Looking for a Florida Adoption Attorney?
If you’re looking for an attorney to help you with a Florida adoption, you’ve come to the right place. The Law Offices of Berkowitz & White PLLC have worked with hundreds of women just like you. Whether you need Florida pregnancy counseling or would like to start making an adoption plan, we are ready to provide you with the support and guidance you need at this time.
Why Choose Adoption?
Adoption is an incredibly selfless choice that many women struggle to make. However, those that do make a Florida adoption plan for their baby often say that it was one of the best decisions of their life. Why? Because, through semi-open or open adoption, they’ve been able to see their child grow and thrive, while leading a life they feel that they couldn’t have given them.
What to Look For in a Florida Adoption Attorney
When looking for a Florida adoption attorney, it’s important to consider several key attributes to ensure that the attorney you choose to work with is licensed, ethical and has your best interest in mind.
Licensure. Always check the Florida Bar website to make sure that the attorney is licensed to practice in the state of Florida. Here’s an example of our profiles on the Florida Bar Website: Elizabeth Berkowitz and Stephanie White.
Experience. The most experienced adoption attorneys in Florida are most likely on the Board of Directors for the Florida Adoption Council, or at least a part of the organization. You can always use the organization’s Find an Attorney tool too.
Birth Mother Autonomy. Many adoption agencies in Florida are pretty strict with birth mothers and require that they follow a particular schedule, as well as some rules about their lifestyle. If you’d like more autonomy during the adoption process, then working with a Florida Adoption Attorney might be a better option for you. They tend to be much more lenient and provide birth mothers with a large amount of freedom.
Ongoing Support. Most birth mothers will tell you that the adoption process can be emotionally tolling. It’s important that you have access to birth mother support both during your pregnancy and after. When meeting with adoption attorneys, ask them about their support services and how long those services are available to birth mothers.
Start Your Adoption Journey Today.

Are you ready to join an exciting adventure with the cat Nyan Nyan in the game Nyan Nyan Furi Furi Adventure? This will be your next challenge in the Flappy series. In this part, the cat Nyan Nyan will make his adventure right in his own dream. The cat character Nyan Nyan is falling asleep after dreaming that he is on an adventure. That's why your mission in this game is to help the cat pass the adventure as safely as possible. In our dream, our cat will fly in the sky with a very beautiful view, and everything goes very smoothly. However, on the way, the cat will encounter obstacles that are giant colored walls. I wish the cat would have to fly through the hole to safely avoid the obstacle. On the cat's head there will be a blue circle of energy. When you control the cat to collide with obstacles on the way, the energy bar will decrease. Therefore, avoid collisions with obstacles. When the energy bar is exhausted, the cat ends the adventure. So try to control the flying cat as far as possible. Good luck
Press the spacebar to control the character in the game. | <urn:uuid:4eb26ecd-d3d3-443b-a9d9-e22e2c213730> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://flappy-bird.co/nyan-nyan-furi-furi-adventure | 2023-09-28T17:35:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954571 | 237 |
Good day Flat Track Fever Fans,
We wanted to convey the message that with COVID-19 still a prominent feature of our current landscape we can not see planning and attempting to host Flat Track Fever 2021 this coming May. We are already starting planning for FTF 2022 and announcements will be made for the date and calls for officials, teams, vendors, and volunteers in the fall of 2021.
Until we can see your smiling wonderful faces on the track we want you all
to remain safe and healthy. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been
impacted by this pandemic.
Thank you and see you on the track soon!
Flat Track Fever Organizing Committee | <urn:uuid:fed80657-e2d9-43d6-b6cf-33f163152901> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://flattrackfever.com/2021/02/16/update-on-2021/ | 2023-09-28T17:41:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.943721 | 137 |
Does your team need a boost of morale, trust, or communication? Whether you’ve got individual contributors or leaders, whether they’re located in the same building or across the world, whether you’ve got a budget for an off-site or an online event, we’ve got you covered with fun activities that build the team in the process.
Give your team the gift of the Gallup CliftonStrengths instrument as a positive way for you and your team to identify and value each individual’s unique talents.
Each person, manager included, takes the 20-minute assessment beforehand. At the meeting, you learn about your unique talents together and engage in activities where people appreciate each other’s contributions and see how the team functions at a higher level when everyone’s talents are used.
It’s an empowering and positive way for the team to discover how they can deliver better results faster.
Strengthen Your Team Activity
Do you feel that your team could perform better? Maybe they don’t communicate with each other as well as they could, or they don’t seem motivated to work together, or the team just hasn’t gelled yet? Are you noticing conflicts are slowing down results, or silos are causing oversights, or other teams are outperforming yours? If so, now may be the time to take a short break to pull your team together for a half-day team-building activity.
The Strengthen Your Team activity is a positive way for you and your team to identify and value each individual’s unique talents. This enables you, as the leader, to optimize delegation and coaching. It helps the individuals on the team be more efficient and effective at what they do, and it helps the team members to work together to solve problems by leveraging each other’s talents. Knowing each other’s strengths allows you and your team to deliver business objectives quickly and enjoy working together while doing it.
The Strengthen Your Team activity is a half-day meeting for the entire team and manager. Every participant takes the 20-minute Gallup CliftonStrengths instrument prior to attending. The manager spends an hour with a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach a week prior to the meeting to identify his/her strengths and begin applying them from a leader’s perspective. It’s a fast, rewarding way to up-level the team with minimum time spent away from work.
The Invisible Path Game for Teams
Take a virtual trip to Virbela, a 3D virtual world where people interact with each other using avatars. Team members use the metaphor of forging an invisible path to signify completing a project, with all its ambiguities and twists and turns. Teammates guide each other along the invisible path with limited information.
There are deadlines and budgets to meet and distractions to avoid, just like in the real world. While the activity is online, this team-building workshop can be run either entirely in Virbela or with the group debriefs in person. Either way, the team leaves inspired and with new insights on how to work more effectively together. To learn more, contact us to set up a quick demo.
Business Simulation for Aspiring Leaders
The Business Simulation
The business simulation is a challenging, fun, and competitive team-building game where teams run a fictitious company using an online simulation that is facilitated by an expert in leadership and team development. The teams compete for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours, through a number of simulated business quarters. After the game is completed, the facilitator debriefs the activity with the team(s) by drawing out participant insights into the team and leadership dynamics and how the dynamics compare to their interactions at work. Participants leave energized from the game and well-informed about how they can better lead and contribute to their teams at work.
Virtual Social Hours
We offer several creative and fun social activities for teams on virtual platforms, such as VIRBELA and ZOOM. Meet on the beach and watch the fireworks in Virbela’s virtual world, have a game night on Zoom with prizes and teams, or enjoy a facilitated wine or chocolate tasting by a connoisseur. We can set up the experience and we guarantee a good time. | <urn:uuid:5d80b22c-6a3a-40ca-9f7f-db9184e4552d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://flexibleworksolutions.com/team_building/ | 2023-09-28T16:35:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.925487 | 896 |
In many ways, marijuana is a scientist’s dream. The plant is filled with unique chemicals and compounds that can have a profoundly positive impact when they interact with receptors in our bodies. These effects range from helping people relax after a long day to easing the suffering that comes with conditions like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and arthritis.
With marijuana quickly advancing as a medical product, scientists have been further investigating the potential of the plant and its compounds. So far, researchers have identified five primary components that show great promise in helping patients not only treat their symptoms, but maybe even eliminate the underlying problem.
THC, which stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, is probably the best known of the chemical compounds found in marijuana. This component is responsible for the euphoric and psychoactive effects of the plant and as such, is the most sought-after component for recreational users.
Apart from recreational effects, THC has a wide array of applications as a medicine. It’s often used to ease the pain and nausea that comes with cancer treatment and can help with the management of chronic pain. Newer studies have also shown that it may be able to delay the progression of ALS as well as ease painful symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Cannabidiol has become nearly as well known as THC in recent years, largely due to CBD’s effectiveness as a medicine. One of its main benefits as a treatment is that it’s non-psychoactive, making it more appealing to a greater number of patients than THC.
CBD acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-psychotic; it can also help control nausea. The compound is already being used to treat arthritis and mood disorders, and has also shown great potential in aiding cancer treatment.
THC is formed when tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is left to dry. THCA itself is not psychoactive, but may still harbour some of the same medical properties as THC. This means patients can take much larger doses of THCA than they can of THC. Some proponents suggest that juicing raw marijuana is the best way to extract the THCA from the plant to treat immune system conditions like lupus.
CBN, or cannabinol, is a further degradation of the THCA compound that is created when THC is exposed to oxygen and light. On its own, CBN produces much milder psychoactive effects than THC, but CBN can increase THC’s psychoactive effects in patients. Though not often considered as a medicinal product, it has been used as an anti-spasmodic and can help those suffering from glaucoma, inflammation and insomnia. For recreational users, the effects are undesirable, leaving them groggy or dizzy.
Another non-psychoactive compound, cannabichromene (CBC) is the second most abundant compound found in marijuana. CBC has piqued the interest of scientific communities as it has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, CBC has been shown to stimulate brain growth as well as potentially inhibit tumors and fight cancer.
Considering there are at least 483 compounds unique to the cannabis plant, these five only scratch the surface. With greater access to the plant and the ability to conduct proper studies, scientists will be able to learn more about the chemistry of cannabis and what other medicinal purposes it can be used for.
So there you have it and, now you’re as smart as me.

As the president and CEO of Florida Rock & Tank Lines (FRTL) and the immediate past board chair of the Florida Trucking Association, I understand these frustrations all-too-well. FRTL makes 1,000 deliveries a day providing gas to your local station, so you can drive to work or travel with your family.
Our drivers log millions of miles every year on the roads and prioritize safety so they and you can get home safely to spend time with loved ones.
But traffic keeps getting worse.
Florida is unique in its demographics compared to other states in the country. A strong economic climate, sunshine for days and world-renowned beaches and tourist attractions mean not only a booming population, but a record number of visitors to our great state.
This, combined with our geography and only three major arterials to drive in and out of Florida, mean more and more vehicles on the road year-round. Hurricane season exacerbates this issue, as residents evacuate while trucks are dispatched to replenish gas stations to keep motorists moving away from the path of a storm.
Looking at this one study, however, is misleading. A second study by ATRI, released in October, showed that Florida was the second worst state for congestion in 2016.
The trucking industry in Florida alone loses $5.6 billion due to traffic congestion and near-constant slowing on the roads due to the sheer volume of vehicles throughout our state.
And this congestion affects everyone’s wallet.
The longer and harder it is to move freight, the more your goods will ultimately cost. But more importantly, increased congestion means decreased safety conditions.
I, along with the members of the Florida Trucking Association, applaud our leaders for their current efforts to solve infrastructure issues in our state.
We are heartened to see Gov. Ron DeSantis’ interest in improving the quality and quantity of our roadways, recognizing our transportation infrastructure is not keeping up with demand. Senate President Bill Galvano (a Bradenton Republican) has created the Infrastructure and Security Committee, engaging the Florida Department of Transportation to look at the expansion of corridors, including a Suncoast Parkway extension, Turnpike Connector and Polk-Collier corridor projects.
Senate Bill 7068 and House Bill 7113 creates the Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance Program and would positively impact intermodal travel in the region. We strongly support this measure, as it would provide regional connectivity and enhance quality of life for Floridians.
From “concept to concrete,” it takes many years of planning and construction to effect change. Florida Trucking Association is grateful for the open dialogue and efforts to improve Florida’s infrastructure.
As our robust economy continues to strengthen and our residents and guests increase every year, now is the time to find solutions to keep all motorists moving efficiently and safely.
We’re all on this road together.

Sorry, nothing in cart.
Fittonia, often called the “nerve plant” or “mosaic plant” due to its appearance as bright, & contrasting veins that run through the leaves. One of the most popular vein colors is silvery White, but Fittonia with veins of several other colors could also be found, like in pink, white and green. They are available as low-growing creepers or trailing houseplants that could be perfectly fit for bottle gardens or terrariums. Fittonia (nerve plant) has the tendency to spread as an evergreen perennial that grows 10 – 15 cm tall. And they bloom with small flowers and are of white to off-white color. These plants are supposed to be kept in a moist area with mild sunlight and temperature of above 15 degree Celsius, making it relevant to be grown as houseplants. These plants may faint if kept without water for a few days, but could be easily revived by quick watering, making them ideal as ground cover plants. | <urn:uuid:ebea3220-53f3-4a1d-b918-fcd87c6e0ea4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://flowersbnb.com/product/fittonia/ | 2023-09-28T17:19:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.972721 | 216 |

The Domino Effect is a feature length documentary film that explores the process
of real estate development in New York City and digs deep to uncover the complex
networks of banks, developers, politicians, and non-profit organizations that
shape our cities. During the last decade, the North Brooklyn communities of
Williamsburg and Greenpoint, have experienced the negative impacts of excessive
luxury development and gentrification, more than any other neighborhood in New
York. Told through the voices of longtime residents, the film conveys the
personal impact of real estate development in their community while also
shedding light on issues encountered by residents of cities across the country. | <urn:uuid:b7f01bc5-9367-498b-b41b-ae8c5eb43e86> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fm.hunter.cuny.edu/ima-alumnis-documentary-the-domino-effect-screening/ | 2023-09-28T18:17:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.923037 | 247 |

President Donald Trump was abruptly escorted by a U.S. Secret Service agent out of the White House briefing room as he was beginning a coronavirus briefing Monday afternoon. He returned minutes later, saying there was a “shooting” outside the White House that was “under control.”
“There was an actual shooting and somebody’s been taken to the hospital,” Trump said. The president said the shots were fired by law enforcement, saying he believed the individual who was shot was armed. “It was the suspect who was shot,” Trump said.
Something really strange just happened during the press conference, a person interrupted the President to inform him of something and the President left the briefing pic.twitter.com/k04ciYPMTd

Whether you’re looking for hearty winter soup recipes or just a simple cold-weather soup, this list will give you a glimpse (and a taste) of how other parts of the world are preparing some of their traditional comfort-in-a-bowl!
Everything you need for these hearty soups is readily available, so don’t worry about any country or region-specific ingredients.
All you need to focus on is when to schedule each of them. Enjoy!
A traditional recipe from up north. Try a spoonful of it, and you will be ‘transported in the middle of Helsinki market‘ — that was a quote from one of my readers.
That sums it up.
Nope, it’s not blueberry juice; it’s Blueberry Soup!
You can easily prepare this traditional dessert from Sweden in the comfort of your own home — and the whole year-round!
Here’s an authentic potato soup recipe from Oma. So easy to make but delivers so much flavor in a bowl.
It’s bound to be one that you will keep making once you’ve given it a try.
If you’re a cauliflower fan, you would love this soup for cold weather; if not, it would change your mind. I know mine did.
Creamy and buttery — hard to stop after a bowl, for sure.
Same spice as the stew, but lighter.
Not to worry though, it doesn’t mean this soup is less filling. It just means less cooking and waiting time — but with the same delightful flavor.
Hard to say ‘no’ to this one. It’s vegetarian; it’s delicious, and it’s actually great the whole year-round.
The nuttiness from the chickpeas, plus the freshness of the herb and lemon juice — you will surely be planning for the next time you will cook it as you reach for that second serving!
I bet you already have all the ingredients for this one. It exemplifies how simple Portuguese cuisine is — but undeniably delicious.
The addition of chorizo at the end elevates the soup’s flavor, smokiness, and comfort in a bowl.
If you’ve never tried celeriac in a soup before, start with this classic dish from Turkey.
Please do not skip the garlic and dried mint garnish — it brings this delicious winter soup to an entirely new level!
An excellent vegetarian soup for cold weather, and you don’t need an immersion blender or any cream at all.
Cilantro and onions are the base flavor of this warming soup, so simple but nourishing and packed with flavor.
So, take your pick and let me know what you think in the comments section below — stay warm! 🙂 | <urn:uuid:e19214f2-2bff-4f74-a7e5-e19eaded549e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://foodandjourneys.net/around-the-world-winter-soup-recipes/ | 2023-09-28T17:32:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.913682 | 615 |
Our second last Friday before summer comes. There is no better time to wrap up our summer food safety series! This week, we look into how food should be served.
So when you are serving food in the sweltering outdoors, consider:
- Perishable food should not sit out for more than two hours. In hot weather (above 32 °c), food should NEVER sit out for more than one hour.
- Serve cold food in small portions, and keep the rest in the cooler. After cooking meat and poultry on the grill, keep it hot until served – at 60 °C or warmer.
- Keep hot food hot by setting it to the side of the grill rack, not directly over the coals where they could overcook.
- Always use separate plates and equipment to handle raw foods.
- Make sure there are plenty of serving utensils so each dish has a serving spoon or serving fork and no cross-contamination occurs.
Now you are summer ready! What are things you need to pack to your next picnic? What is something you need to regularly do so you can keep your friends and family safe?

Our prediction for this Champions League match:
This Sparkles will be flying when Rangers and PSV lock horns in the Champions League final qualifying round, first leg at Ibrox Stadium. Rangers set up a meeting with PSV by beating Servette in the double-header, but the bookies see them as the underdogs in this tie. Ben Davies remains on the sidelines through illness, while fellow defender Ridvan Yilmaz has yet to overcome a strain injury. Michael Beale should field the best possible side this time out after resting several first-team regulars in the League Cup win over Morton (2-1) at the weekend.
Luuk de Jong and Co, on the other hand, cruised past Sturm in the third qualifying round, with the team making a flying start to the new Eredivisie campaign as well. PSV are more of a team than Rangers and we predict that the Dutch vice-champions are going to prove their worth on the field. The likes of Mauro Junior, Armando Obispo, and Fredrik Oppegard are rated doubtful for the visitors.will be released soon.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
Highlighted Team (Rangers):
Glasgow Rangers are one of the two synonyms for Scottish Football. Glasgow Rangers were founded back in 1872 and they have been playing an important role in the Scottish top flight ever since. The Gers won their 54th Scottish Premier League title in the 2010/2011 season, but winning of European Cup Winners’ Cup trophy in 1972 is considered the club’s biggest success.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow in the final of the competition, with the likes of Stein and Johnston (two goals) scoring for the Scottish side. Celtic are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two teams meet in the Old Firm derby. The likes of Paul Gascoigne, David Weir, Stefan Klos, Chris Boyd, Ian Durrant and Kenny Miller are some of Rangers’ former notable players.
It has to be noted that the Gers welcome their rivals at Ibrox Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 50,817. Rangers’ support is largely drawn from the Protestant Unionist community. | <urn:uuid:9fe8396b-9715-4cec-a39a-32341d189e2d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://footballpredictions.com/footballpredictions/championsleaguepredictions/rangers-vs-psv-prediction-2/ | 2023-09-28T16:47:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.9648 | 663 |
