If there were a spotlight in the podcasting world, it currently would be on podcast accessibility. While a new script for inclusion in the media and entertainment industry as a whole has brought greater awareness to accessibility in the broadcast, streaming, and film industries, discussion of accessibility, particularly in regards to transcripts, has surrounded podcasting as well.
What is a Transcript?
Simply put, a transcript is a written version of an audio track. A transcript is what makes for an accessible podcast. In the same way that captions provide accessibility for video content, transcripts provide accessibility for audio content. And while interest in transcripts for podcasts has grown in part due to growing awareness of unaddressed accessibility needs, it’s just one of the many benefits transcripts offer to the podcasting world.
So how do you transcribe a podcast? Below, we list some of the more popular ways available to transcribe podcasts, and the benefits and drawbacks of each method.
Transcribe Using Speech-to-Text
Word processing applications like Google Docs or Microsoft Word have speech-to-text accessibility features designed primarily to help users who can’t type or have trouble typing. The features are designed to help users dictate or speak the words into the document instead of having to type them.
On Google Docs this feature is called “Voice Typing” and can be found in the “Tools” menu of an open document.
On Microsoft Word, this feature is called “Dictate” and is available on the top ribbon menu.
Podcasters who are looking for a cheap (free if using Google Docs; low, or no additional cost if you already have Microsoft Office) option for podcast transcription can open a new document, select the “Voice Typing” or “Dictate” options at the start of recording, and save the document upon the end of recording.
The benefits of this method are pretty straightforward and if you’re already familiar with Google Docs or Word, you won’t need any additional training. However, there are drawbacks, too.
The automatic speech recognition (ASR) engines employed by these features in order to convert spoken words into text aren’t always the most reliable, and don’t always include punctuation or breaks in text. While you’ll certainly save time not having to type the transcript yourself, you’re still likely to have to spend time correcting errors and turning the wall of text into something readable and useful for others.
This is one case where the old adage of “you get what you pay for” rings true. What you save in money, you could end up losing in time and energy. Still, this option might be desirable for short podcasts and/or podcasts that record infrequently.
Transcribe Using Video
Some podcasts offer video versions of their episodes on YouTube, which will auto generate captions of the videos that users upload. The captions then can be edited and downloaded as a transcript. Benefits of this option are that it works well for users who already choose to record their podcasts on video and post them on YouTube. Plus, captions will make your video recording accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
But this method includes drawbacks not unlike those found with Google Doc or Word Doc speech-to-text features. Though it generates time stamps for your transcript, YouTube’s speech recognition can still be spotty and include a lot of errors. As with the speech-to-text option in a Google doc or Word doc, what you save in money with this method could cost you valuable time and energy.
Another drawback is obvious for podcasts that don’t record video. YouTube, at its core, wasn’t intended as a podcast transcript generator, it’s a video hosting and sharing service. So, podcasts that are used to dealing only with audio files will need to create a video file as well. This can be done by attaching the audio file to an image and converting it to an MP4. Still, this does mean an extra step and potentially more time lost in the process.
Some podcasts record on Zoom which can be used to generate live transcripts. The benefits of this option are that it can be convenient because the live transcription option is built into the service and the recordings can be stored online, freeing up valuable computer space. Users will simply need to ensure that the feature is turned on before they start recording. Once the podcast episode is recorded, users can then edit and download the transcript from Zoom.
Drawbacks for this method often include, again, the need for a lot of editing, which can cost time. This feature of Zoom also isn’t available in free accounts and users must have an Education, Business, or Enterprise account in order to access this feature.
Use a Podcast Transcription Service
Some creators and producers may elect to use a podcast transcription service. While there are definite upfront financial costs to working with transcription providers, there are also plenty of benefits. A quality transcription service provider can reduce the cost of time and energy spent editing transcripts. They can also prove essential for podcasts or podcast networks that produce a high volume of content frequently.
As with anything else, weighing the costs and benefits of each method to figure out what works best for you will yield the best results.

Reducing sugar in your child’s diet can improve your child’s health and future well-being. As a person in charge of my family’s nutrition, I want to be sure that my child is provided with a healthy, balanced diet. The majority of children in our world consume too much sugar on a daily basis. Excessive sugar intake can lead to chronic diseases down the road, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. When feeding our children, we should focus on reducing sugar in their diet and providing nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods.
What is the difference between added sugar and natural sugar?
Natural sugars are found naturally in foods such as fruit, dairy products, and whole grains. Added sugars are those that are added to foods when they are processed. Added sugars can have many different names, such as brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, lactose, molasses, raw sugar, and sucrose.
How much is added sugar okay to have?
Children under two years old should not consume any added sugar. Children over the age of 2 should consume no more than 25 grams or 6 tsp of added sugar per day.
Reducing sugar in your child’s diet
Below are some ways to easily reduce the added sugar in our children’s diets!
Serve fruits and vegetables with meals and snacks.
Fruits and vegetables should make up about half of our children’s plates at meals. They are a very nutrient-dense food full of fiber that can help them stay full.
Reducing sugar by limiting our children’s intake of processed foods.
Aim to provide more foods to our children that are in their natural state and not processed. This will help to lower their added sugar intake.
Reducing sugar by avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages
Sugar-sweetened beverages include juice, soda, and sports drinks. This is where the majority of children’s added sugar intake comes from. Replace juice in our children’s diets with water or milk.
Pay attention to the nutrition facts label.
The nutrition facts label is on packaged and processed foods. On that label, it will list the added sugar content. Remember, for children under 2 years of age, it is recommended that they have no added sugar; for children over the age of 2, it is recommended to limit it to 25 grams per day.
Reducing sugar by cooking more at home.
As a parent, I know finding the time to cook at home can be very challenging. Trying to cook more at home lets you control what is going into your children’s foods, which can help `limit their added sugar intake.
Following the above tips can help to reduce our children’s added sugar intake and prevent chronic diseases down the road! | <urn:uuid:21bec32c-feb1-4809-bce3-09ec874b5be8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://vitalxchange.com/reducing-sugar-in-your-childs-diet | 2023-09-28T18:05:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960686 | 603 |

Republican Amy Reichert and Democrat Monica Montgomery Steppe will square off in the November runoff to replace former county supervisor Nathan Fletcher.
The latest count: We got updated numbers Thursday afternoon. There are 6,000 ballots left to count. Montgomery Steppe has 41 percent of the vote, Reichert is at about 29 percent and Goldbeck has about 25 percent.
Reichert claimed victory after she widened her lead over Goldbeck, a Democrat.
“I’m here to be your voice, your advocate. I’m here to make a real impact in our County and stand up for every resident,” she wrote in a statement.
Goldbeck concedes: “Friends — there are still thousands of ballots left to count, but unfortunately, it appears that our campaign does not have a path to victory,” she wrote.
Why it’s now Montgomery Steppe’s race to lose: As our pal Andrew Keatts at Axios noted, Democrats outnumber Republicans in the district that includes central San Diego, La Mesa and Spring Valley nearly three to one – and Montgomery Steppe and Goldbeck collectively pulled in two thirds of the primary vote.
Bill to Kill Water Divorce Hits Hurdle in Senate
A bill that could thwart two small farming communities from seeking cheaper water outside San Diego County stalled just as it approached debate on the state Senate floor.
Under current law, water districts must get the Local Agency Formation Commission to greenlight the move, which happened in July, plus a vote of the water district’s customers which is set for November.
The bill would create a state-mandated local election. But it’s expensive to hold elections, especially countywide. And the California Constitution requires the state reimburse local agencies for those costs.
So that means the state Legislature’s Appropriations Committee, which analyzes any bills that create significant state costs, has to take a look at AB 399 first. The revelation could be a significant slow-down on the bill becoming law.
And there’s a lot of effort behind getting it passed as quickly as possible. The bill came from Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner, a Democrat from Encinitas, with strong support from the city of San Diego and powerful labor unions. It has an urgency clause attached which means the law goes into effect immediately upon enactment but requires a two-thirds vote, or, in other words, wider support from lawmakers to become law.
The Day in Camping Ban News
How it’s playing San Diego: The Guardian hit the streets as San Diego police began enforcing the city’s new camping ban and documented homeless residents’ struggles to access shelter and Mayor Todd Gloria’s rationale for increased crackdowns on homeless camps.
- As they made the case for the camping ban, some San Diego leaders argued homeless camps were fueling a spike in dangerous vegetation fires but inewsource found that fire officials actually didn’t know how many fires were started in homeless camps.
Another ban on the books: Poway’s homeless camping ban took effect Thursday. NBC 7 has more details. Voice of San Diego’s Kathryn Gray earlier this summer spotlighted how Poway’s lack of shelter space will likely stymie enforcement of the new ordinance.
Meanwhile: Homeless advocates are concerned about how unsheltered residents could be impacted by this weekend’s forecasted tropical storm. Here’s what the city told us it’s doing to prepare.
UCSD Goes Out on a Limb With Mushroom Research
In a UC San Diego lab decked out with a salt lamp, essential oils and crystals, research participants are taking the psychedelic ingredient of mushrooms – for science.
Our Jakob McWhinney recently visited with researchers at the newly minted Center for Psychedelic Research who are studying whether psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, has any effect on phantom limb pain that can affect people who have lost limbs.
As McWhinney notes, the team is serious about the science but also embracing the spiritual and “almost vibe-based elements of the psychedelic experience.”

MIT’s Richard Lindzen is one of the world’s leading climate scientists. He is also a climate “skeptic,” rejecting claims that anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are likely to create a climate catastrophe. Above all others, he is the climate skeptic environmental activists most fear, as he has unimpeachable credentials. As a prominent climate scientist who believes global warming could cause an environmental catastrophe confided to me, Dr. Lindzen’s views are not easily dismissed, even if his views are somewhat outside the “mainstream” of climate science. (Of course, we may have to reconsider what constitutes “mainstream” climate science after the leak of e-mails and other documents from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit.)
Today, Dr. Lindzen has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on “ClimateGate” and the state of climate science. According to Dr. Lindzen, there is “a scandal that is, in my opinion, considerably greater than that implied in the hacked emails from the Climate Research Unit (though perhaps not as bad as their destruction of raw data): namely the suggestion that the very existence of warming or of the greenhouse effect is tantamount to catastrophe.” The problem is that the entire climate change policy debate proceeds as if the primary — if not only — question to be answered is whether human activity is having an effect on global temperatures. This quesiton is important, but it hardly resolves the relevant policy questions. Even if human activity is having significant effects on the cliamte system, we must determine whether those effects are likely to be negative, whether the causes or their effects can be prevented, as well as whether it is better to try and prevent such changes or adapt to their likely effects. We must also determine whether human welfare is at greater risk from climate change or proposed climate change policies — an open question at this point — and recognize that the answer to this question may vary from place to place. The answers to such questions will be informed, but not determined, by science. Normative and other considerations must also come into play.
As Dr. Lindzen suggests, the pretense that a given degree of warming requires a particular policy response — and a particualrly urgent and dramatic one at that — places substantial political pressure on the scientific process. “It is only such a scam that lends importance to the machinations in the emails designed to nudge temperatures a few tenths of a degree.” Whether or not one accepts Dr. Lindzen’s assessment of the science, this point about the nature of the climate change debate is immensely important.

The key to writing a newsletter that people will really want to read is to make it interesting and relevant. So how do you do that? Here are six tips:
#1 Planning and structuring your newsletter
One of the most important aspects of writing an effective newsletter is planning. Think about what you want to achieve with your newsletter. Do you want to increase sales or just keep your customers informed? Once you know the objective, you can start planning the content. A well-designed newsletter is structured to make readers want to keep reading until the very end. With good call-to-action buttons, you might have them take particular actions like subscribing to your online courses or downloading your white paper. In order to familiarize your audience with your style and offers, make sure that any subsequent emails that you send follow the same structure.
#2 Keep it simple
Write your newsletter as if you were writing to an acquaintance or a friend. The closer you get to the reader, the more likely they will be interested in the content. An excellent way to do this is to keep the language simple and avoid jargon. Write in a way that is easy to understand, even for people unfamiliar with your industry. Make sure that the message is relevant and offers value to your readers. Give them advice and help to solve their problems or answer their questions. And don't forget to include a call to action!
#3 Make your newsletter attractive
Your newsletter must be visually appealing to encourage people to read it to the end. The layout should be simple, visually pleasing and easy to read. Make sure your call to action is visible and use colours with sufficient contrast. Find a balanced image/text ratio that will encourage the reader to click or read more. Favour dynamic visuals that adapt to all screen sizes and devices (responsive). Finally, use only a few colours and fonts to minimize distractions.
#4 The email subject line matter
The email subject line is the first thing your readers will see in their inboxes. It must therefore be clear, concise and relevant. It should also be consistent with the content of your message. The goal is to make the reader want to open your message, so choose a catchy title that sets the tone for what they will find next. Readers will be more inclined to open your message if you can spark their curiosity.
#5 Keep it readable and enjoyable for all screen sizes
Optimizing your newsletter for all screen sizes is essential with the wide range of electronic devices available to access our emails. It means that your message should be easy to read on smaller screens like phones, for example. So keep your paragraphs short, use clear and concise sentences and highlight the most crucial information with images, headings or bullets.
#6 Don't forget to comply with Canada's anti-spam legislation
If you plan to send commercial emails, you must comply with Canada's anti-spam legislation. Federal law requires you to obtain the recipient's consent before sending them a commercial message. You must also allow people to opt out of your mailing list and include your contact information in each email. Visit Canada's anti-spam legislation
to learn more about it.
Now that you know the basics, it's time to start planning your next newsletter!
Keep these tips in mind as you plan the content for your next newsletter. With a bit of practice, you'll be able to write newsletters that will engage your readers. Happy writing! :) | <urn:uuid:602e36a6-d639-4880-841d-82c34997cea4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://voxinteractif.com/en/blog-and-tips/6-tips-for-writing-a-newsletter-that-people-will-want-to-read | 2023-09-28T17:47:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.940277 | 701 |

Warsaw’s had a lingering love affair with Spanish food, but up till recently it’s been pretty hit and miss. Slowly, that’s changing, and its places like Jamón that are leading the charge.
The Place: from the outside, Jamón looks the biz – a pristine white townhouse lit with elegant blue spotlights. Inside, custom made artwork presents swirling senoritas alongside heavy navy colors and Iberian tiles. It’s a big place, but one whose thoughtful design retains a sharp sense of intimacy. There’s enough nooks and corners and little touches to give it a feeling of privacy and discretion. You want to explore, hang around and get to know it better.
The Menu: adopting a ‘spray and pray’ approach, we order a series of dishes to give a general overview. This means a tranche of black Alaska cod, a separate slate of Galician octopus with ‘truffle aroma’ and tuna tataki with ponzu sauce and refreshing hints of citrus. As delicious as these are, they are outshone by the main event: a shank of lamb, slow roasted for ten hours so it falls off the bone – it’s so delicate and soft you could cut it with a spoon.
And then there’s a pile of Huelva prawns that are the biggest I’ve ever seen. Eating them is a messy process, yet they’re an absolute joy: this is Spanish cuisine in its most pure and perfect form. And when we think it can’t any better, then along comes dessert: a velvety white chocolate cream whose rich, deep tastes roll on the palette like a fine wine.
The Drinks: the Spanish aren’t best-known for their beer, but in the shape of Inedit they’ve nailed it. Surprised it’s good? You shouldn’t be. A collaboration between the Damm brewery and Ferran Adria, it was first created in 2008 to specifically to compliment Adria’s creations at El Bulli, the world’s most famous restaurant. Now it’s in Poland, or more specifically, in Jamón – good luck finding this ‘wheat and barley beer’ anywhere else in the country. Alternatively, flirt with their extensive selection of champagnes and wine.
The Verdict: with four Spaniards in the kitchen, imported ingredients and faithful recipes, there’s an onus on authenticity. In short, it’s a place of real merit that works on all levels: as a restaurant, hangout and general feel-good venue – more details in our upcoming print version.

Doctor Helen Roseveare, affectionately called "Mama Luka," pioneered vital medical work in the rain forests of the Belgian Congo—now Zaire. After Independence in 1964, the country was ravaged by the Simba Rebellion. Helen, caught up in the horror of the revolution, was beaten, raped and imprisoned by the rebels. Mama Luka Comes Home vividly tells her story of forgiveness and faithfulness to those she came to serve.

From Thursday, Feb. 9 through Sunday, Feb. 12, the J.P Adler Studio Theatre in the E.O. Bull Center lit up with some very colorful and lively entertainment. Once Upon a Terrible Time: Three Tangled Tales was performed by the West Chester University Theatre’s Traveling Players, a performance group geared towards younger audiences.The creative story was adapted and directed by faculty member Jane W. Saddoris and starred a fun group of West Chester students. Meant not only to entertain but also to teach children lessons in behavior and imagination, the show put smiles on the faces of both young and old audience members.
The story centers on the troubled birthday of a grumpy 8-year-old. After having her favorite new present – a marionette doll – all tangled up and fighting with her very best friend, she goes to bed in not the greatest of moods. Before she falls asleep, however, her tangled marionette comes to life and brings in the Traveling Players to help cheer her up. Then through a series of Three Tangled Tales, which included desired trips to Australia, two feuding princesses and a funny muffin-eating, chubby dragon, all bad moods are vanished by the play’s conclusion.
Complete with bright costumes, funny props and a versatile set, the production was polished with a professional enthusiasm. The talented cast acted, sung, danced and joked their way through the performance, keeping children in awe and adults laughing from the moment it began.
The production was a definite good time for all who attended and a job well done by the Traveling Players. | <urn:uuid:9eb4feb7-5154-4078-9428-e655793cd18a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wcuquad.com/100252/uncategorized/three-tangled-tales/ | 2023-09-28T17:17:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.961534 | 334 |
Your 529 plan allows you to grow money tax-free to fund higher education. But what happens if you’ve funded a 529 plan and your child really won’t need the money for college? How do you get the money out of that 529? A very dear lady recently asked me this question.
Louis has been contributing to a 529 plan for each of her 4 grandchildren for the last 10 years. But she recently learned that kids won’t have to worry about paying for college at all. In this unique case, their higher education will be paid for by their father’s employer – even if he separates from service before they start school. That’s pretty sweet of course. But Louis now has to figure out what to do with those 529 bucks now that the primary beneficiaries don’t really need them.
Even if you aren’t in Louis’ enviable position, you still might find yourself with a 529 that your child really doesn’t need. If so, don’t worry about it. You’ve got choices. But before we go there, let’s review.
What Is A 529?
This is a tax-advantaged account helps people pay for higher education by allowing the money to grow and take distributions tax-free so long as the money is used to pay for secondary education. The withdrawals are tax-free as long as the money is used to pay for Qualified Higher Education Expenses. To be qualified, an expense must be required in order to obtain the degree or certification. This generally includes tuition, books and some housing expenses. The thing is, most times, contributions must be made with after-tax dollars but there is a way to make these contributions tax deductible.
(The definition of what is and what is not a qualified education expense can be confusing. It’s always best to check with the school and your accountant. While you’re at it, look into making tax-deductible 529 contributions. This won’t work for everyone but if it’s a fit for you, it’s a nice little bonus.)
Now that we’ve got the basics down, let’s look at what you should do if your beneficiary doesn’t really need the dough or graduates early and only uses part of the money you set aside for her. You basically have 4 choices:
1. Change The Beneficiary To Another Family Member
If you opened the account, you are the owner and you can change the beneficiary whenever you want for whatever reason. The beneficiary is the person who will eventually use the money for secondary education. Just keep in mind that in order to avoid tax penalties, the new beneficiary has to be a member of the family. If you name a non-family member, you’ll have to pay income tax on all the earnings on the account plus a 10% penalty on those earnings. Ouchie-carumba!
2. Use The Money Yourself
If you name yourself the beneficiary, you can use the money for qualified expenses without incurring any tax penalty. You can use the money to pay for a wide variety of secondary educational programs – even over-seas programs.
To make sure your expenses are qualified ask the school if it is eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. If it is, you can tap that 529 to cover your qualified expenses. If not, you’re out of luck. Most schools that offer degrees qualify. Also, this works for many vocational schools too.
3. Do Nothing For Now
One very cool aspect of 529 plans is that there isn’t any expiration date on them. That means you could do nothing now and wait for more cute little family members to be born and once they join your clan, name them.
Even if you check out before they check in, it doesn’t have to be a problem. You can name someone else to take over as owner in your place should you die. Then they can sit around and wait for the next generation of scholars to come along.
4. Pay The Penalty
If none of the options above work, your only choice left is to pull the money and pay the IRS its due. Even though this hurts a little, it isn’t really as bad as it may sound. Just remember, if that money wasn’t in a 529, you’d be paying taxes on it anyway (albeit at a lower capital gains rate). So your cost of doing this is paying a higher tax rate plus the 10% penalty.
Granted, this isn’t great but it isn’t the end of the world either. Again, you only pay these taxes and penalties on the growth of the account. The amount you invested isn’t taxed at all.
As you can see, if you find that your beneficiary doesn’t need your 529 bucks after all, you have a lot of options. Which option would you choose?

When you've had your fill of casinos and clubs, get out of town on an ATV or dune buggy tour from Las Vegas to explore the surrounding landscape of off-road trails through the desert, red rocks, sand dunes, and more. Here's the rundown on your tour options.
These adventures are a great way to take a break from the crowds of the Las Vegas Strip and see more of Nevada.
Tours typically range from three to seven hours.
Most tours visit areas such as Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Hidden Valley, Lake Mead, or Valley of Fire State Park.
The vehicles, which have a variety of names (ATV, dune buggy, UTV, RZR, mini Baja) are built to handle the rugged terrain.
ATVs seat one to two people; buggies seat one to four people.
A tour guide and safety gear such as goggles and helmets are typically included.
Hotel pickup and drop-off in Las Vegas is generally included on ATV tours.
Drivers must be at least 16 years old with a valid driver's license; those under 18 might require accompaniment by a parent or guardian.
Enjoy a fast-paced, active way to discover the Las Vegas Dunes on this beginner-friendly all-terrain vehicle tour. Pick from several departure times, meet your shuttle right on the Strip, and set off with just a small group for company—you'll be transported to the departure point for an orientation and safety demonstration. Then, zip off into the dunes on your ATV, and follow your guide into the rugged desert scenery.
Experience the thrills of riding an ATV through the Mojave Desert on this guided ATV tour from Las Vegas. After meeting on the Strip, you will be transported to just outside the Las Vegas Lake Mead Recreation Area.

Voice transcription refers to the process of converting spoken words into written text. Transcription solutions are in high demand in today’s world, where real-time audio and video have become a primary form of communication. It plays a crucial role in making these communications more inclusive, accessible, and efficient.
Transcription services have undergone a significant transformation with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. In this blog post, we will explore four reasons why upgrading your transcription solution with AI can revolutionize your workflow and deliver enhanced results for customer support, HR, sales, healthcare, and much more.
#1: Real-Time Insights and Actionable Items (Multi-Channel!)
AI can extract real-time insights from conversations across various channels. AI algorithms generate summaries, identify key questions, and highlight actionable items on the fly. This empowers you to make prompt decisions and take immediate action during a conversation.
For example, in an online interview, the AI monitors the conversation and can recommend topics that haven’t been mentioned. These can be asked in real-time, or listed as action items for the next interviewer.
#2: Organized Conversations for Easy Retrieval
AI-enabled transcription solutions offer automatic extraction and organization of conversations based on relevant topics. This feature simplifies the categorization and retrieval of conversation data, making it effortless to access specific discussions and track trends.
Telehealth is a specific field that comes to mind here. Whether it is the same (busy!) doctor or a new one on the call, any information previously provided by the patient – or recommended by another practitioner – is keyword searchable and readily available.
#3: Comprehensive Conversation Analytics
AI-powered transcription enables robust conversation analytics capabilities. You can gain valuable insights into speaker interaction, engagement levels, and communication patterns. This deeper understanding of conversation dynamics allows for optimized communication strategies and collaboration.
Imagine a call center manager having all the sales or customer service conversations of each of their agents organized, searchable, and analyzed – ready when a problem occurs or it is time for an annual review? Priceless!
#4: Enhanced Productivity and Time Savings
By leveraging AI in your transcription process, you can significantly enhance productivity. AI-powered solutions automate time-consuming tasks like after-call notes and action items. This frees up valuable time for you and your team to focus on higher-value activities.
Late to your team meeting or missed it altogether? No problem! Catch up quickly with a live summary of action items, questions, and what has been said so far. And after the meeting, a summary is sent along with follow-up items.

A Burger King staff found herself without a job and staring at a long prison sentence after she was accused of mixing French fries she picked from a trash can with fresh ones before serving it to customers.
Allegedly gave customers French fries picked from trash can
The incident first came to light on July 9 when police officers from the Union Police Department responded to a public disturbance report at a Burger King outlet located in South Carolina, USA, reported New York Post.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw two female customers swearing and screaming at the staff. The women were later arrested for disorderly conduct after they refused to pipe down at the officers’ request.
In an unexpected twist, Burger King’s headquarters called the police two days later and reported that the outlet’s assistant manager, Jaime Christine Major, had allegedly served customers French fries she picked from the trash can.
Apparently, the 39-year-old had reportedly taken French fries straight from the trash can and added them into a container filled with freshly cooked fries before dumping another round of cooked fries on top of it.
Arrested and fired from job
Following the disgusting revelation and police investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Major and she was eventually nabbed on Monday (July 17) and placed in custody at the Union County Detention Center.
In court, the judge set bond at $20,000 (RM91,060) and Major currently faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Not long after Major’s arrest, Burger King released a statement announcing that she had been fired from the company for her repulsive act.
“These allegations do not align to the brand’s commitment to quality food and service and creating an exceptional Guest experience.
“The employee in question has been terminated by the Franchisee of this location. The Franchisee is cooperating with local authorities, and because this remains an ongoing investigation, we are unable to share additional details at this time,” it said.
Guess next time we need to pray hard that our French fries aren’t taken right from the trash! | <urn:uuid:cfbd1d2d-e760-49f2-a5d0-df21c42749fe> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://weirdkaya.com/burger-king-staff-french-fries-picked-from-trash-can/ | 2023-09-28T17:20:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.980472 | 482 |

If you are looking for an orange Maine Coon cat for sale, you’ve come to the right place. This article covers Breeders, Cost, and Care. The information provided here will help you find the best cat for you. Whether you’re looking for a young kitten or an adult cat, this breed has many appealing characteristics.
There are many health issues that can plague an orange Maine Coon cat. The breed is prone to inherited hip dysplasia and hereditary heart disease. These conditions can affect both male and female cats. If left untreated, they can cause arthritis and even paralysis.
While there is no cure for this disease, there are treatments available that may improve the quality of life. One of these medications is erythropoietin, which works to stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. This medication can help normalize the red blood cell count in the cat’s body. Other treatments include changing the diet and monitoring activity.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a serious disease that affects Maine Coon cats. Early treatment is essential in preventing permanent damage to the heart. In addition to causing pain in the heart, the disease can also result in hind-limb lameness. This lameness may be intermittent or permanent and becomes more obvious after prolonged exercise. The heart muscle walls become thickened, affecting the efficiency of the heart.
An orange Maine Coon cat should be kept clean and healthy at all times. A daily brushing of the fur is necessary to maintain its appearance. Moreover, orange Maine Coons’ nails should be trimmed on a daily basis. An electric nail trimmer is a simple tool that can be used to perform these tasks. A healthy orange Maine Coon cat should live at least 12 years, although many breeders report that they can live up to 15 years.
Hip dysplasia is a common problem among orange Maine Coon cats. In these cases, the cat may have trouble walking or bending. The pain can be severe and may require surgery. While there is no cure for this condition, it is possible to reduce the risk by getting regular veterinary checks. If you’re considering adopting a kitten from an orange Maine Coon cat breeder, be sure to research the breed and its health history.
The Orange Maine Coon cat is one of the most popular breeds of domesticated cats. While blue and white varieties are easy to find, the Orange Maine Coon is harder to come by. Breeders struggle to create the ideal orange lining and color shade. While it is very similar to blue and white coons, there are some differences.
Orange Maine Coons can get very obese when they are kept indoors. To prevent this, breeders and vets recommend getting them out for regular walks. You can also train them to use a leash and to listen to your commands. However, you should be prepared to spend a lot of time grooming your orange coon because it has a double coat and long fur.
A quality orange Maine Coon kitten costs between $450 and $1500, and this price will decrease as the cat grows older. An adult orange Maine Coon cat can cost from $700 to $1000, and a senior orange Maine Coon can cost up to $650. A female kitten may cost upwards of $2000.
Another aspect of the Orange Maine Coon’s price is its health care. You can reduce the cost by not getting all the necessary shots for your new cat or by using cheaper alternatives. You should also make sure you are ready to spend money on regular checkups and medical care for your new pet. As the kitten grows older, its needs will change, and you may need to replace items that are no longer appropriate. You should also consider getting pet insurance to cover the unforeseen expenses that may arise.
The cost of an Orange Maine Coon cat varies from breed to breed. The breeder’s reputation, pedigree, and availability will all play a part in the price. You will need to be prepared to spend more money if you want a rare, unique, and beautiful pet.
The orange Maine Coon is highly sought after and therefore can be extremely expensive if you find one for sale. In addition to the actual cost, you will need to buy essential tools for caring for your new pet. It is best to buy quality items rather than cheap ones. There are also a few health conditions that you should look out for.
If you want to adopt an orange Maine Coon cat, you must first ensure that the cat is in good health. It is recommended to get the opinion of a veterinarian and ask about its past medical history. If you are looking to adopt an adult orange Maine Coon, you can visit a cattery in New York that has a long-standing reputation for offering healthy kittens and cats.
You should consider buying a Maine Coon from an established breeder if you want to be sure of the breed’s purity. While the breed is not native to North America, it is cultivated in Europe under very strict rules. There are many places in the United States that offer these cats for sale, including New York, Maryland, and Virginia Richmond.
The Maine Coon is known for its size. Males weigh up to 18 pounds and females weigh between 15 and 25 pounds. They are small but sturdy cats and are known to be sociable. They finish growing between three and five years of age, which is quicker than most breeds. They have a fur-rich coat with seasonal changes, “frosting” at the tips of the ears, and a fluffy tail.
A Maine Coon is a pet that requires moderate grooming and care. They need to be groomed about twice a week.
Care for an orange Maine Coon cat
If you’re looking to adopt an orange Maine Coon cat, it is important to find a reliable breeder. A reputable breeder will allow you to see the kittens with their mother, and will also be able to trace the lineage of the cat. While most orange Maine Coons are male, it is possible to find a female Maine Coon.
The physical appearance of an orange Maine Coon is distinct, with a long, solid orange coat and emerald-green or copper/gold eyes. It weighs about seven to ten kilograms, and males are larger than females. Despite being one of the largest cat breeds, the Orange Maine Coon cat is mostly male. Males are born with one copy of the orange gene, and females do not have an orange gene.
The main task of caring for an orange Maine Coon is to keep him healthy and happy. These cats need daily grooming and playtime. Although these cats are relatively healthy and hardy, they are prone to certain health problems and diseases. These include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, spinal muscular atrophy, and hip dysplasia. Regular checkups are recommended for your cat’s health.
The orange Maine Coon cat is a natural breed that evolved to survive harsh winter conditions in its native habitat. Because of this, it has long, glossy fur and a thick tail for warmth. A long, wide nose is another characteristic of the breed. These cats are playful and get along well with children. The breed is an excellent choice for a pet if you’re looking for an indoor pet that won’t cause a mess in your home.
The coat of an orange Maine Coon cat is quite soft and silky. It requires regular brushing and regular bathing, and should be handled gently and carefully. Grooming is important to minimize shedding and to prevent the cat from developing large mats and fur balls. It’s easy to get a matted Maine Coon cat, but removing it with a brush or comb can be painful for the cat. | <urn:uuid:f4827f21-4024-40c1-af99-5cf0b86d5948> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wellnesscoachingforlife.com/orange-maine-coon-cat-for-sale/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.945975 | 1,613 |

The Great Pottery Throw Down season 4 was a big hit. With bright personalities and a comedic host in Siobhán McSweeney, the series shapes up nicely with twists, turns, and of course beautiful pottery.
So let’s get into it. In this article, we’ll talk about the fourth-season judges, the host, and the winner.
How to watch The Great Pottery Throw Down
Season 4 aired on the main Channel 4 network channel premiering on January 10th, 2021. This season was special as it was shot in the throes of COVID-19, limiting much of what previous series’ had done.
The show is produced by Love Productions. You can watch ALL the seasons of The Great Pottery Throw Down on HBO Max which has streaming rights in the United States.
Catch season 4 on HBO and keep on binging with season 5. 🙂
What is the format of The Great Pottery Throw Down?
The fourth season of The Great Pottery Throwdown is 10 episodes long. The series culminates in naming a “top potter” in the United Kingdom. In each episode, the contestants complete three activities that test their fine motor skills and design sense:
- Throw Down
- Spot Test
- Main Make
At the end of each episode, the winner of the “main make” activity is named “Potter of the Week” and is guaranteed a spot on to the next episode.
And sadly, the judges close the episode by choosing one of the potters to send home. I get attached to the contestants, so it’s always sad to see someone leave the show!
The very last episode of the series ends with another main make contest. The winner of the contest is crowned the top potter in the United Kingdom.

He’s typically the harshest judge with criticism. But he’s also the most likely to get emotional over a special piece of ceramics. In fact, it’s become a bit of a national treasure seeing Keith Brymer Jones cry. And of course, the internet has made it a meme, gif, and everything else.
Judge: Richard Miller
In the first several seasons, Rich acted as the ceramics technician earning himself the nickname “Kiln Man Rich”.

I haven’t been posting much lately, partly because there hasn’t been that much news, and partly because I’ve been working on new books. I thought it might be interesting to give a list of countries where the Photographer’s Guide series of books on compact digital cameras (mostly the Panasonic Lumix LX5 and Leica D-Lux 5, lately), have sold. Here is the list of countries from which at least one PDF copy of one of the books has been downloaded recently:
Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Malaysia, Norway, Thailand, South Africa, Brazil, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, France, Peru, Portugal, Sweden, Singapore, Netherlands, Germany, Philippines, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, United States.
That list is for January 2011; there may be a few other countries to which copies have been sold in other months. I occasionally get asked whether the books will be translated into languages other than English. I wish I could get them translated into Spanish and maybe French, but it’s just not practical. It would probably cost more to translate them than I would realize in sales.
Otherwise, the printed version of the Lumix LX5 book has been selling fairly well on Amazon.com, and the other books are selling occasionally, but this is not as big a season for book sales as November through January. | <urn:uuid:42eb6dcc-62cb-4b9e-8544-9ffbad826b7c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://whiteknightpress.com/update-on-book-and-pdf-sales/ | 2023-09-28T17:41:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967031 | 298 |

Army West Point head women’s basketball coach Dave Magarity rounded out his coaching staff for the 2018-19 season when he announced the addition of Heather Stec on Wednesday morning.
“With the addition of Heather, I feel like we have completed an outstanding coaching staff entering the 2018-19 season,” Magarity said. “Her background as a standout player both in college and professionally, combined with her extensive coaching and recruiting experience, will be invaluable moving forward.”
Stec joins the West Point coaching staff after spending the previous four seasons as an assistant at Merrimack.
This past season, she helped the Warriors claim 15 victories and compile the program’s first NE10 winning record (11-10) since the 2004-05 campaign. The team had a strong defensive season, ranking 16th in the nation in scoring defense, holding the opposition to 57.3 points per contest. During her four years at Merrimack, the Warriors made two NE10 Tournament appearances and Stec saw seven of her players earn all-conference honors, including the 2018 conference rookie of the year.
Prior to arriving at Merrimack, Stec spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Springfield College, where she helped the team achieve a 13-win turnaround from 2012-13 to 2013-14 and become the lowest seed to ever win the NEWMAC Tournament. The tournament victory was the program’s first since 2006 and the team advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Stec also had a stint as an assistant coach at Cazenovia College for the 2011-12 season as well as with several international teams in the Netherlands and Denmark from 2009-11.
As a player, Stec had a solid career at Siena College, where she averaged a team-best 13.9 ppg as a captain in her senior season. Following her collegiate career, she went overseas and played two seasons professionally in Europe, including stops with the Horsholm 79ers (Denmark) and Stol Grasshoppers (Netherlands).
With the 79ers, she was tabbed the Player of the Year, Forward of the Year, Import of the Year and received first team all-league honors en route to a national championship. As a key cog on the Grasshoppers, Stec was named the Defensive Player of the Year and earned first team all-league recognition.
Stec graduated from Siena in 2009 with a bachelor’s in Biology before completing her Master’s in Athletic Counseling at Springfield in 2014.Assistant Coach DI | <urn:uuid:da640c0b-0e7b-46b6-aebc-a42c3d712dee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://whoopdirt.com/army-welcomes-stec-womens-basketball-staff/ | 2023-09-28T18:02:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.976225 | 527 |
AUNT JACKIE’S curls & coils SURPRISES FIRST HBCU GYMNASTICS TEAM WITH $25,000
Recently, while on the Jennifer Hudson Show, the newly formed FISK University women’s gymnastics team was surprised with a $25,000 check from Aunt Jackie’s Curls & Coils. The donation will cover the sixteen-member team’s travel expenses enabling these talented student athletes to attend national competitions. This team is the first intercollegiate gymnastics team in HBCU (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) history and will compete against colleges across the country. The women, prior to going on the show, were also treated to a full Aunt Jackie’s glam makeover and the studio audience all went home with $100 Aunt Jackie’s gift cards.
“Having the first HBCU gymnastics team means making history,” trumpets Coach Corrinne Tarver. “We are paving the way for future gymnasts to be able to attend a HBCU and continue their gymnastics career; this donation means the world to us!”
“Aunt Jackie’s is dedicated to the ongoing support of HBCU students, and we’re thrilled FISK has launched the first ever women’s gymnastics team,” says HBCU graduate Kendria Strong, Chief Marketing Officer at House of Cheatham, parent company to Aunt Jackie’s. “These students are the best and the brightest and it’s our honor to help lay the groundwork for their future success.”
In 2021, House of Cheatham gifted three million dollars to Clark Atlanta University to fund The Robert H. “Bob” Bell/House of Cheatham Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurial Development to support the education and growth of Black entrepreneurs. Bob” H. Bell, built House of Cheatham’s brands into household names.
Aunt Jackie’s continues to grow with the latest launch of the Elixir Essentials, a hair and scalp oil trio formulated with natural ingredients including Biotin, Rosemary, Collagen, Tea Tree Oil, and Jamaican Black Castor Oil to provide moisture while supporting thicker fuller strands and protective styles.

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV)
The virus is an important, wide-spread pathogen of cucurbit crops which has caused serious epidemics. Yield losses of up to 95% have been reported and infected plants typically stop producing marketable fruits within 2 weeks after they become infected. The virus causes mosaic symptoms, stunting and characteristic deformations on leaves (the leaves are fern-like with the blades barely developed) and fruits (with a knobby surface). Particularly pumpkin, melon and watermelon are often infected.
It is transmitted in a non-persistent manner by various aphid species like Myzus persicae or Aphis gossypii. Seed transmission is also suspected. The particles are flexuous rods, 750 nm long. The genome consists of single stranded RNA, about 9.6 kb large.
Management involves the use of resistant cultivars and sanitation, removal of infected plants and any volunteer cucurbit crops. Control of the aphid vectors is usually not considered to be effective.

When used as a primary expression, the keyword
thisdenotes a value that is a reference to the object for which the instance method was invoked (§15.12), or to the object being constructed....
The type of
thisis the class or interface type T within which the keyword
At run time, the class of the actual object referred to may be T, if T is a class type, or a class that is a subtype of T.
this reference is said to have escaped when it is made available beyond its current scope. Following are common ways by which the
this reference can escape:
thisfrom a nonprivate, overridable method that is invoked from the constructor of a class whose object is being constructed (for more information, see MET05-J. Ensure that constructors do not call overridable methods).
thisfrom a nonprivate method of a mutable class, which allows the caller to manipulate the object's state indirectly. This situation commonly occurs in method-chaining implementations (see VNA04-J. Ensure that calls to chained methods are atomic for more information).
thisas an argument to an alien method invoked from the constructor of a class whose object is being constructed.
- Using inner classes. An inner class implicitly holds a reference to the instance of its outer class unless the inner class is declared static.
- Publishing by assigning
thisto a public static variable from the constructor of a class whose object is being constructed.
- Throwing an exception from a constructor. Doing so may cause code to be vulnerable to a finalizer attack (see OBJ11-J. Be wary of letting constructors throw exceptions for more information).
- Passing internal object state to an alien method, which enables the method to retrieve the
thisreference of the internal member object.
This rule describes the potential consequences of allowing the
this reference to escape during object construction, including race conditions and improper initialization. For example, declaring a field final ordinarily ensures that all threads see the field in a fully initialized state; however, allowing the
this reference to escape during object construction can expose the field to other threads in an uninitialized or partially initialized state. TSM03-J. Do not publish partially initialized objects, which describes the guarantees provided by various mechanisms for safe publication, relies on conformance to this rule. Consequently, programs must not allow the
this reference to escape during object construction.
In general, it is important to detect cases in which the
this reference can leak out beyond the scope of the current context. In particular, public variables and methods should be carefully scrutinized.
Noncompliant Code Example (Publish before Initialization)
This noncompliant code example publishes the
this reference before initialization has concluded by storing it in a public static volatile class field. Consequently, other threads can obtain a partially initialized
If an object's initialization (and consequently, its construction) depends on a security check within the constructor, the security check can be bypassed when an untrusted caller obtains the partially initialized instance (see OBJ11-J. Be wary of letting constructors throw exceptions for more information).
Noncompliant Code Example (Nonvolatile Public Static Field)
This noncompliant code example publishes the
this reference in the last statement of the constructor. It remains vulnerable because the
published field has public accessibility and the programmer has failed to declare it as volatile.
Because the field is nonvolatile and nonfinal, the statements within the constructor can be reordered by the compiler in such a way that the
this reference is published before the initialization statements have executed.
Compliant Solution (Volatile Field and Publish after Initialization)
This compliant solution both declares the
published field volatile and reduces its accessibility to package-private so that callers outside the current package scope cannot obtain the
The constructor publishes the
this reference after initialization has concluded. However, the caller that instantiates
Publisher must ensure that it cannot see the default value of the
num field before it is initialized; to do otherwise would violate TSM03-J. Do not publish partially initialized objects. Consequently, the field that holds the reference to
Publisher might need to be declared volatile in the caller.
Initialization statements may be reordered when the
published field is not declared volatile. The Java compiler, however, forbids declaring fields as both volatile and final.
Publisher must also be final; otherwise, a subclass can call its constructor and publish the
this reference before the subclass's initialization has concluded.
Compliant Solution (Public Static Factory Method)
This compliant solution eliminates the internal member field and provides a
newInstance() factory method that creates and returns a
This approach ensures that threads cannot see an inconsistent
Publisher instance. The
num field is also declared final, making the class immutable and consequently eliminating the possibility of obtaining a partially initialized object.
Noncompliant Code Example (Handlers)
This noncompliant code example defines the
This interface is implemented by the
DefaultExceptionReporter class, which reports exceptions after filtering out any sensitive information (see ERR00-J. Do not suppress or ignore checked exceptions for more information).
DefaultExceptionReporter constructor prematurely publishes the
this reference before construction of the object has concluded. This occurs in the last statement of the constructor (
er.setExceptionReporter(this)), which sets the exception reporter. Because it is the last statement of the constructor, this may be misconstrued as benign.
MyExceptionReporter class subclasses
DefaultExceptionReporter with the intent of adding a logging mechanism that logs critical messages before reporting an exception.
MyExceptionReporter constructor invokes the
DefaultExceptionReporter superclass's constructor (a mandatory first step), which publishes the exception reporter before the initialization of the subclass has concluded. Note that the subclass initialization consists of obtaining an instance of the default logger. Publishing the exception reporter is equivalent to setting it to receive and handle exceptions from that point on.
Logging will fail when an exception occurs before the call to
Logger.getLogger() in the
MyExceptionReporter subclass because dereferencing the uninitialized
logger field generates a
NullPointerException, which could itself be consumed by the reporting mechanism without being logged.
This erroneous behavior results from the race condition between an oncoming exception and the initialization of
MyExceptionReporter. If the exception arrives too soon, it will find the
MyExceptionReporter object in an inconsistent state. This behavior is especially counterintuitive because
logger has been declared final, so observing an uninitialized value would be unexpected.
Premature publication of an event listener causes a similar problem; the listener can receive event notifications before the subclass's initialization has finished.
Rather than publishing the
this reference from the
DefaultExceptionReporter constructor, this compliant solution adds a
publishExceptionReporter() method to
DefaultExceptionReporter to permit setting the exception reporter. This method can be invoked on a subclass instance after the subclass's initialization has concluded.
MyExceptionReporter subclass inherits the
publishExceptionReporter() method. Callers that instantiate
MyExceptionReporter can use the resulting instance to set the exception reporter after initialization is complete.
This approach ensures that the reporter cannot be set before the constructor has fully initialized the subclass and enabled logging.
Noncompliant Code Example (Inner Class)
Inner classes maintain a copy of the
this reference of the outer object. Consequently, the
this reference could leak outside the scope [Goetz 2002]. This noncompliant code example uses a different implementation of the
DefaultExceptionReporter class. The constructor uses an anonymous inner class to publish an exception reporter.
Other threads can see the
this reference of the outer class because it is published by the inner class. Furthermore, the issue described in the noncompliant code example for handlers will resurface if the class is subclassed.
Use a private constructor and a public static factory method to safely publish the exception reporter from within the constructor [Goetz 2006a]:
Because the constructor is private, untrusted code cannot create instances of the class; consequently, the
this reference cannot escape. Using a public static factory method to create new instances also protects against untrusted manipulation of internal object state and publication of partially initialized objects (see TSM03-J. Do not publish partially initialized objects for additional information).
Noncompliant Code Example (Thread)
This noncompliant code example starts a thread inside the constructor:
Compliant Solution (Thread)
This compliant solution creates and starts the thread in a method rather than in the constructor:
TSM01-J-EX0: It is safe to create a thread in the constructor, provided the thread is not started until after object construction is complete, because a call to
start() on a thread happens-before any actions in the started thread [JLS 2015].
Even though this code example creates a thread that references
this in the constructor, the thread is started only when its
start() method is called from the
startThread() method [Goetz 2002], [Goetz 2006a].
TSM01-J-EX1: Use of the
ObjectPreserver pattern [Grand 2002] described in TSM02-J. Do not use background threads during class initialization is safe and is permitted.
this reference to escape can result in improper initialization and runtime exceptions.

These “The Three Levels of Self-Awareness.” are a way to help you understand what to do when faced with certain situations. For example, you might be trying to get through a particularly stressful day and you have no idea how to break out of that rut. In this video, I share a little bit of the basics on how to tackle this kind of situation.
The first step is to be aware of the situation and not to let it control you. One thing that’s important to do is to not blame yourself for the situation. Instead, ask yourself, “What can I do to improve things, or what can I do to help?” This is the first step of self-awareness. It means that you’re actively engaged in the situation and trying to figure out how to do something about it.
This is the second step of self-awareness. It means that you are aware of your thoughts, actions, and how you feel. If you need to take a break, then you may need to get a different perspective on the situation. For instance, if you’re dealing with a very high stakes situation, then you may need to take a different approach.
It’s important to keep in mind that self-awareness is not the same as “awareness.” The two are not synonymous. For instance, I know people who have very little awareness of their surroundings and then all of a sudden they get hit by a truck. Their brains have just locked down. I just happened to be hit by a truck, so I’m aware. I’m not aware of what’s happening.
Self-awareness is the ability to see the big picture, which is why so many of us are so comfortable getting our lives and actions into the past. There are a few ways to be aware of something, but I think that, in most cases, it’s best taken as a combination of awareness and self-awareness.
But how do you get self-awareness? It’s not something that comes along magically. It’s not something that’s a result of some spiritual awakening. It’s actually quite a bit more difficult than that. It’s something that develops over time, and is much more complex than we might realize.
I think we all have some of these hidden agendas. And when we are aware of them, and we take the time to learn how to act on them, and even to become more aware of them, we can learn to overcome these hidden agendas and become more efficient and productive.
I’ve written about this before, but I think it’s a really important concept. If you have a hidden agenda, learning to identify it and act on it will make you far more efficient and productive. And you might discover that you don’t have any hidden agendas at all, but rather things like depression and anxiety.
The main difference between the three different ways an individual is able to act on their own is that the first person acts as the hero and the second acts as the hero, which means it’s the hero who is trying to save the world.
This is a very important point. What you think is your “self-awareness” is often just your “ego-awareness.” The self-awareness you achieve by learning to identify your “ego” is very much the same self-awareness that you have when you’re acting out a hero’s act. So there is a very important place in your life that you need to develop to be able to act on your own. | <urn:uuid:8df1dc83-1004-4c61-bc72-c006db9d8831> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wikiowl.com/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%80-%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9F%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%8F%E0%A4%AA-%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9F%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%9F%E0%A4%B8-%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BE/ | 2023-09-28T17:18:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.975558 | 763 |

Logan Square is a one-of-a-kind neighborhood that you can really only find in Chicago. This long-time Latino community has seen an influx of new residents that’s rapidly changed the landscape of the neighborhood. Today, the area is home to old-school panaderias, hip late-night bars, trendy restaurants, a cool music scene, and so much more.
Here are just a few things to do, eat, and see in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood.
Start your day in Logan Square’s namesake park, near the intersection of Logan, Milwaukee, and Kedzie. The small green space, a popular hangout for locals, is home to the striking Illinois Centennial Monument.
You also happen to be surrounded by excellent brunch options: wood-fired bagel spot Reno, farm-to-table pioneer Lula Cafe, cozy Same Day Cafe, boozy brunch specialists Park & Field, or acclaimed Longman & Eagle (temporarily closed). And if you’re looking for a caffeine fix, there’s no shortage of local coffee shops (Passion House and New Wave Coffee are both nearby).
While you’re in the area, stop by the Logan Square Farmers Market (each Sunday from May through October) or check the event calendar at Comfort Station, a historic building that offers free concerts, movie screenings, and more just across from the monument.
In the summer, grab a Divvy bike rental or take a long stroll heading south down Kedzie. The scenic boulevard is lined with green spaces and stunning historic homes. It’ll lead you straight to Palmer Square, where you’ll find residents lounging in the grass with a frozen treat from Miko’s Italian Ice.
Stop for an afternoon cocktail break at one of the many excellent bars in the area. Parson’s Chicken and Fish is known for their spacious outdoor space where you can enjoy negroni slushies and ping pong. You can also grab a seat on the patio at The Moonlighter or cozy up by the fire at Scofflaw.
Looking for taprooms? Check out our guide to craft breweries in Logan Square.
Next, continue south onto Humboldt Boulevard and The 606, an abandoned railway that’s been transformed into an elevated trail lined with parks, public art, and seating areas. It spans almost three miles and multiple neighborhoods, so take your time exploring.
In the colder months, skip the walk and see what’s playing at The Logan Theatre (temporarily closed). The vintage movie house plays old favorites and new releases, with a cozy bar in the lobby. It also hosts open mic comedy, movie trivia nights, and the longest running underground film fest in the world.
Hungry? You’ve got a huge array of options for dinner. Enjoy modern Italian in cozy digs at Osteria Langhe, indulge in Alpine favorites at Table, Donkey and Stick, eat tacos on a rooftop at Lonesome Rose, order Asian-inspired beer and kimchi pancakes at Bixi Beer, and enjoy Cuban fare and BYO mojitos at 90 Miles Cuban Cafe, and don’t skip the chocolate cake at Dos Urban Cantina.
It’s not a day in Logan Square without a night out. Milwaukee Avenue is a local favorite for nightlife. Where else can you visit a small-batch distillery, a local brewery, and a retro cocktail bar all in the same block?
Play some tunes on the jukebox at late-night spot The Owl, sip mezcal at ultra-hip Estereo, visit a German beer hall at The Radler, play old-school games at Emporium (temporarily closed), play pool at Cole’s Bar (temporarily closed), or dance the night away at Slippery Slope (temporarily closed). Or make your own bar crawl and visit them all.
You could also spend the night watching a show at one of the neighborhood’s unique venues. Most venues are currently closed due to COVID-19, but many are offering online shows and performances. Family-owned Rosa’s Lounge is a favorite for Chicago blues, and The Whistler is a hybrid cocktail bar/intimate music venue. You can also see what’s playing at the Logan Auditorium, Congress Theater, or Concord Music Hall.

Resources & People Mentioned
Physical product libraries are dying out
When Rex worked commercially or in large firms, they had hundreds of square feet dedicated to product libraries. They were always working to keep the space up-to-date, clean, and organized. Rex would use the library for inspiration and direction or to make last-minute sample switches. But most of his work was already online ordering new samples.
How do you work as a designer? How do you find inspiration? You have to find your own comfort zone. Are you comfortable moving into a digital platform? Or do you have to feel and touch everything? Rex grew up sourcing digitally and he’s comfortable with digital catalogs.
If you want or need a physical library, make it more about your favorite things and what inspires you. Personalize it with your go-to items and then use digital sample libraries and material banks. Hold on to the samples until the project is done and then offload them.
Now, instead of relying on a product library, Rex gets inspiration from talking to the clients and seeing their inspiration photos. Do they have blue in every picture? Limestone in every photo? He takes those notes and builds upon them. Someone else may have images or photos you’ve never seen or interacted with.
How to organize a digital—or physical—library
Rex notes that your digital library lives in each project that you have saved. He doesn’t necessarily recommend archiving photos because you’ll end up with another library. If Rex ever has to refer to a product, he can go pull it from a project. With a quick google search, finding stuff digitally is pretty quick.
If you still want a physical library, it needs to stay organized. How large is the library? Can you have specific sections for tile, glass, fabrics, etc? Then you subset it from there. For example, Rex organizes fabric first by vendor. Then he organizes by color. Why? Because a color scheme is one of the first things designers know after a consultation.
Sometimes designers get complacent with the vendors that they work with. Suddenly all of your designs look the same. Organizing by color instead of vendor is one way to vary who you work with.
Expert Tip: If you have a good rep, they will come update your library and clear out outdated products. They don’t want to do it, but they will to get back in front of their customers.
For more of the conversation around digital libraries, listen to the whole episode! It’s packed with useful strategies and tips.

Products containing collagen have long been highly sought out in the beauty aisle of stores. That's for collagen's ability to help maintain beautiful hair, enhance the appearance and elasticity of skin, and support strong, beautiful nails. But collagen's powers when it comes to amplifying how good you look also extends to how you feel inside, and that covers a whole lot of territory inside your body as well as outside.
What Is Collagen?Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins inside your body, responsible for an assortment of biological functions, most notably giving structural support via connective tissue, muscle, and skin, per medicalnewstoday.com. Its best-known property as a protein is in bolstering the elasticity of your skin, which takes on added importance as you age. As your body gets older, it gradually loses collagen because of a slowdown in the production of this protein. Another way to look at collagen and the roles it plays in terms of your health is thinking of it, as amymyersmd.com put it, as the ‘glue' that hold your body together. Note that the Greek word from which ‘collagen' is derived is ‘kolla,' which translated means ‘glue.' There are numerous types of collagen, most of which is ‘Type 1' collagen that reportedly makes up 90 percent of the collagen found in your body and is believed to be stronger than steel, gram for gram. As The New York Times has put it, It's no surprise that collagen has become a widely sought-after ingredient in the wellness and beauty communities. This stuff gets around, and its adherents are always reaching out for more. Strength and beauty – a wholesome combination. Where Does Collagen Come From? Your body produces collagen naturally, although it can also be found in relative abundance in a number of foods to include bone broth, beef, chicken skin, and pork skin. Many people also take collagen supplements as a means for adding collagen to their bodies. Per medicalnewstoday.com, many manufacturers of collage supplements put them through a process known as hydrolyzation, which breaks collage down into peptides, boosting your body's ability to absorb and use collagen.
Some of Collagen's Possible Health BenefitsAs always, discuss with your physician first before adding collagen supplements to your diet, checking for things such as possible interaction with any prescription drugs you are taking or even other nutritional supplements. Better safe than sorry:
- Skin health. It is believed that collagen can act as an anti-aging protein by boosting skin moisture, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity, per medicalnewstoday.com.
- Thwart bone loss. Collagen comprises a good portion of your bones, serving to provide structure to them while also keeping them strong, per healthline.com.
- Gut health. More supportive research is necessary, but, per healthline.com, some healthcare professionals have touted the use of collagen supplements to treat what's known as leaky gut syndrome.
- Joint health. Per medicalnewstoday.com, some research has shown that collagen supplements can help restore cartilage in the joints, or at least prevent deterioration of such cartilage.
- Weight loss. Per amymyersmd.com, it is believed that collagen can not only help boost your body's fat-burning process but also support a feeling of fullness after eating thanks to collagen supplementation.
- Heart health. A small study cited at medicalnewstoday.com showed that volunteers given 16 grams of collagen tripeptide for six months experienced a noticeable reduction in artery stiffness as well as a decrease in bad (LDL) cholesterol, per medicalnewstoday.com.
- Bolster muscle mass. Up to about 10 percent of your muscle tissue is comprised of collagen, which works to strengthen your muscles while maintaining proper functionality in them, per healthline.com. One study cited showed how 27 frail men took 16 grams of collagen daily while also taking part in an exercise program, and by the end of 12 weeks they showed a significant gain of muscle mass and strength compared to those men who exercised but didn't take the collagen.
- Detoxification/liver function. Glycine, an amino acid found in collagen and a building block for protein has been shown to support your liver during your body's detoxification process, per amymyersmd.com. Its also known to help induce a calming, restful sleep. | <urn:uuid:bdc15797-3bf4-46b0-8ef8-8e5caec127f3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wonderlabs.com/collagen-s-benefits-are-more-than-skin-deep | 2023-09-28T17:52:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.95963 | 916 |
14th February is the day when the Macedonian viticulturists officially start working on their vineyards. On this day is celebrated the Orthodox holiday “St. Trifun “the day when all the viticulturists visit their vineyards, read a prayer, prune the first vines and by pouring wine on the pruned vines mark the beginning of the new harvest, and thus the start of viticulture activities.
In Macedonia, it is believed that such a religious act will bring more fruit and better quality grapes, and on the other hand, viticulturists in this way respect their tradition.
The viticulture and the winemaking is the second most profitable agricultural branch in Macedonia. Hence, the Macedonian viticulturists aspire to be side by side with the world producers by using more sophisticated ways of growing the vineyard.
This time it is our pleasure to introduce you to Blazе Minevski, a young winemaker who has been learning about viticulture since he was a child, and today he has his own winery. Blazhe starts learning about the viticulture from his grandfather on their own vineyards, and become an owner of the winery “Badi” in Kavadarci. This city is in the heart of the Tikveš region – the largest wine and wine-growing region in Macedonia and in the Southeast Europe.
This young winemaker says that the tradition and the customs are respected by everyone in the region. Following the tradition all the families should have vineyards and produce grapes and wine for their own needs or sell some of them to large wineries.
He learned to work in the vineyards from his father and grandfather since he was a young boy. He says that even in his high school days he knew what he wanted to do, open his own winery and to continue the family tradition with the viticulture. Blazhe and his family decided to go one step further and start producing wine, brandy and other grape products such as the widely known Tikveš madzun which is considered a natural medicine and sweetener from unsprayed grapes, without added preservatives, additives and sugars.
The story of the Madzun is as old as the grapes, and in Tikveš, according to the archeological excavations the cultivation of the vine builds its tradition of more than 2,000 years.
Madzun is a traditional and national Macedonian product that was produced and used until the commercial sale of white sugar. It is made from high quality white and red grape varieties. This product, which is used as food, in Macedonia it is highly demanded as a medicine.
For him, the wine is the “Drink of the Gods” and will always remain something he will focus on all his life to achieve the best possible quality and to surpass himself.
The Tikveš region in Macedonia has a huge potential as a wine region. The vine as one of the most durable plants is in abundant here, so the region itself is one of the most successful in the Balkans.
Blazhe adds that the foreign tourists are his regular visitors. They are very curious and interested in the viticulture in the Tikveš region. They are fascinated by the beauties of our region, visiting the vineyards, camping in the vineyards, picnic tastings in the vineyards and enjoying the nature itself.
For him, the most important thing is to develop the rural, the ethno-tradition and the wine tourism, building facilities, castles and hotels on the vineyards, where the tourists can enjoy the untouched nature. | <urn:uuid:308e6c28-a978-40ea-8d79-52032c6eecef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wonderwhere.travel/discover-the-tikves-region-through-the-story-of-blazhe-minevski/ | 2023-09-28T17:33:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978037 | 742 |

Isn’t it funny how wearing in a path on a career you enjoy puts you in groove, but wallowing in one that you don’t enjoy gets you stuck in a rut?
Too many of us get stuck in that rut.
You might feel like there just isn’t enough opportunity. Not for you, anyway.
You might feel like nobody will give you a chance. A chance to let you really shine.
Maybe you feel like your ship has simply sailed. It’s too late to try and change course now in any meaningful way.
Probably you have practical reasons to consider. Things like a pension plan or healthcare or getting “vested” in one thing or another, whether it’s stock options or vacation days.
These things all feel very real. But they lock you in in a way that is not healthy.
Because you end up deciding “no” before you even try.
Let’s change that today.
Because there is a way out that is easier than most people think.
All you need to understand is that there are three critical components of career advancement. Then, you can manipulate them to your advantage.
Once you have an understanding of these fundamentals and how to work them, there is no limit to where you can steer yourself.
Even if you are stuck in what feels like a deep rut.
With a few simple moves, you can start to make things happen.
That’s what I’m going to teach you in this post.
First, understand “the big three”
Career building is a bit of a catch-22. You need to have knowledge and experience in order to qualify for new opportunities.
But you don’t start out with any qualifications.
That’s where credentialing comes in.
You go to school and as you complete your academic work, you are promoted from one grade to the next. Ultimately, you complete a college degree and they award you a diploma.
That diploma is an important credential that says, “This person went through a rigorous program at an accredited institution and we hereby declare that they did everything we required. And we’ll put our reputation on the line to back it up.”
The harder the degree or more prestigious the college, the more valuable the credential.
Embedded in that little synopsis is the big three:
KNOWLEDGE: Stuff you know
EXPERIENCE: Stuff you have done
CREDENTIALS: Validation from someone that you’ve got knowledge and experience
You learned a lot of information at college.
You gained experience in analysis techniques, critical thinking, and social navigation through college life.
The college validated both of those things by bestowing a credential upon you.
Everything after college is more of a risk–for you and whoever decides to hire you.
That’s why you need to understand the process.
Then, know the process
From your first job on, someone is taking a chance on you. Which is why credentials are important enough to make “the big three.”
Credentials help the other person to hedge their bet on you.
When you get your first job, they know you don’t have sufficient knowledge or experience, but they know that you are the kind of person that can navigate knowledge acquisition and the completion of task assignments.
They know this because of your credentials.
So they take a risk. Which gives you a chance to prove yourself.
You rise to meet the challenge. You grow into the role. You earn the respect and admiration of superiors and peers and other colleagues.
Did you see how that flipped?
Credentials become your foothold to the next level. The credentials you have now help to mitigate the risk that someone must take when they hire you, promote you, assign you to a critical project, etc.
Credentials are your ante. You need those just to get to the table and play a hand.
And you need to play some hands to continue credentialing your way up the career ladder.
After you’ve held position X for a year, you have a new credential.
“I graduated Bentley University with a degree in Computer Information Systems and I have worked as a Systems Analyst for the past year.”
The next person takes that into account. Because they know that you have acquired the knowledge and experience necessary to be a successful X for a year.
Or X for 4 years. Then Y for 2 years. Worked on project team A which accomplished 1, 2, and 3.
And so on.
These titles and successful projects are your credentials. Bestowed upon you by the reputation of organizations who hired and kept you working on all of those things.
The PROCESS becomes:
You acquire a CREDENTIAL, which allows you to move to a new EXPERIENCE where you acquire KNOWLEDGE needed to be successful.
How successful you become and what you learn along the way are important differentiators between one candidate an another, but the basic process holds.
That’s the foundation for your career advancement.
Now, you can adjust your approach to work this more strategically.
Then, flip the process
Here’s where you can hack the system.
The way you get out of your rut is to earn new credentials. Enough credentials that someone will be willing to take a risk on you. Which helps you get to the next level or a new place.
But to do that, you must first take a risk on yourself.
Because you need to go out and get KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE so that you can get a new (or enhanced) CREDENTIAL.
I’m not talking about going back to school.
That might work, but there are lots of other ways to earn new credentials.
And you don’t really have any excuses. Because you won’t need to spend much money. But you will need to devote TIME and ENERGY.
KNOWLEDGE comes from TIME and ENERGY spent learning and exploring.
In today’s age of YouTube and Coursera and this thing called The Internet, you can acquire knowledge on anything that you want.
The risk you need to take on yourself is to devote the time and energy needed to acquire it.
That’s your first test.
If you’re unwilling to do that, you need to stop complaining about being in your “rut.” Because you are simply choosing to whine about things not being bestowed upon you out of order.
Instead of earning a credential to help someone hedge their bet on you, you want them to take a bigger risk on you and just hope everything will just work out because you’re such a nice and special person.
Would you do that?
Probably not. Instead you might look for a self-starting go-getter to take a risk on. Which is why you need to become more of a self-starter and go-getter.
The first step is to go out and get that knowledge.
Next use knowledge to get experience
Knowledge without experience isn’t all that useful. Which is why these two parts of the big three are so intertwined.
Once you’ve put some time and energy into acquiring knowledge, you need to find a way to gain experience.
Here you will need to get a little more creative. But there is also a secret weapon that you can use.
Trying to gain experience can be a bit of a pickle. Because you might need someone to take a risk on you before you have earned any credentials. After all, you’re trying to get the experience so that you can earn a credential.
Here is where your secret weapon can help you to break through.
What if you could find someone willing to take on more risk than usual? Someone who needs you more than you need them? Someone who is, well, sort of desperate?
Well, it turns out that you can find people willing to take more of a chance on you.
Anyone who is trying to run a big project, a volunteer effort, or start something new will be looking for help. And they’ll be more likely to take more chances than most other people.
You can offer to help with that project. And you will probably need to do some dirty work or tedious assignment or stretch beyond your comfort zone.
But you will be rewarded with experience. And that’s what you need right now.
You might be able to gain higher level experience more quickly through a volunteer position. Just be sure to approach those wisely.
If you’re an accountant, don’t volunteer to be the treasurer. Volunteer to run marketing or operations or fundraising. Get out of your comfort zone and gain new experience.
By looking for less obvious opportunities, specifically ones where people will be willing to take a higher risk on you, you can gain valuable experience.
And you will still be helping them to hedge their bets because you have dedicated the time and energy to acquire the relevant knowledge. You’re the accountant who has taken an online marketing course, read books on the topic, and attended a few marketing meetups.
Finally, get those credentials
Now that you’ve worked to get new knowledge and hustled up some experience, you can work up some credentials.
Because once you’ve run the marketing program for the local chamber of commerce, you have that as a credential.
Once you have organized a series of education sessions for the annual conference in your field, you have that as a credential.
And once you have taught yourself to play the banjo and performed at a series of local open mics, you have that as a credential.
You have acquired knowledge, found a way to gain experience, and you have a new story to tell about yourself. You have others who will vouch for you.
You have new credentials.
Which are your key to new opportunities. Because each new credential helps someone who is a little more risk averse, who is managing larger opportunities, hedge their bet on you.
Plus, you will have gained valuable insight along the way. You will have built your confidence.
You will be happier and more accomplished person. Which is always a good thing.
Pulling it all together
When you feel like you’re stuck in some sort of a rut, rather than hitting your groove, it’s time to take matters into your own hands.
You shouldn’t be waiting around for opportunities to find you. You should go out and create new opportunities for yourself.
To do that, work the big three pillars of career advancement to your advantage.
Go out and acquire new KNOWLEDGE so that you know more stuff.
Use that knowledge to gain new EXPERIENCE by working hard at opportunities where people will be willing to take more of a risk on you. And remember: these opportunities are literally everywhere.
Then, you can use that knowledge and experience to establish new CREDENTIALS.
These credentials will help you to become better qualified for bigger opportunities. Ones where people need to hedge their bets more.
To help people take risks on you, first go out and take some risks on yourself. Invest the TIME and ENERGY to get started today. | <urn:uuid:9d3472d6-f306-44f8-987a-d48e28f16362> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://worksmarterstressless.com/get-out-of-a-career-rut/ | 2023-09-28T18:02:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.956747 | 2,385 |

The authors gave several hypotheses to explain the finding that straight men have higher stress than out gay men, reports today’s Slate Magazine. “Some were limitations to the study. The sample size of 87 was relatively small, and the respondents were drawn via online ads and word of mouth, likely producing a selection bias—gay folks who are most at peace with their sexuality might be more willing to participate than those still struggling. Other hypotheses related to the character-building component of surviving and rejecting years of shame and stigma. Perhaps this struggle produces coping skills that straight men never need to learn.
“Or do they? One of the most important—and most maligned—contributions of both the multicultural and LGBT movements of the past decades has been how the attention to minority experiences impacts everyone, not just minorities. African-Americans are not the only ones with a race; women are not the only ones with a gender; immigrants aren’t the only ones who’ve left their homes to forge a new identity; gays aren’t the only ones with a sexual orientation—or a secret to conceal. Understanding that these aspects of identity affect us all is crucial to ensuring that they don’t govern our lives.” | <urn:uuid:e367988a-57f8-4376-97fe-0c223209114e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://worlding.org/the-straight-male-mind/ | 2023-09-28T16:51:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.948644 | 253 |

Place Forget-Me-Not in a south or east-facing window where they receive full or partial sunlight.
Water the soil deeply when its top 3 inches (7.5 cm) feels dry to your touch, watering until the water drips through the bottom of the pots. Don't allow the plants to stand in water. Reduce watering to about once or twice each month in winter while the plants are dormant. Resume regular watering in spring.
Remove the spent or old flowers at their stems, pinching them off with your fingernails. Then, throw away the removed flowers. Removing spent flowers encourages new blooms to form.
Fertilize the Forget-Me-Not once each month only if their leaves appear wilted or yellow or the plants grow very slowly during spring or summer. Mix one teaspoon of 5-10-10 water-soluble fertilizer with 1 gallon of water. Use the mixture to fertilize the plants in place of one watering session, applying only the amount you usually would use to water the plants. Don't feed during winter while the plants are dormant.

Well, it’s happening again! Southeast Missouri is preparing for a “First Alert Action Weather Day!” if the forecasters are close to being right this time. We’re supposed to have temperatures around ZERO the next couple of days and snow is supposed to start on Thursday afternoon, resulting in who knows how many inches of the white stuff. The grocery store parking lots are FULL! Milk, bread, eggs – they are flying off the shelves! Folks are panicking and preparing. People are getting ready to “hibernate” for a long winter’s nap because they hear that a storm is coming.
But guess what? Judgment Day is also coming. Are you preparing? It is a day when all will stand before God. Paul told the church in Corinth, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10). John caught a glimpse of that day and described it in Revelation 20:12. He said, “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Yes, it is most assuredly coming! Now, we don’t know the exact time when Jesus will return, which is why He told His followers to “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:13) Are you ready for Judgment Day?
May we be prepared spiritually for that big event! Don’t get caught unprepared! It’s coming! Simply Blessed!

The past few semesters, I’ve found that I’m doing a lot more reading on a computer. Some of my course materials are online, and if I do need a book, many databases have made digital copies available for those without easy access to campus libraries. I also don’t have access to a printer, so readings I might have otherwise printed out have remained resolutely stuck in the digital realm.
Last fall, I realized that many of the study strategies and time management systems that I used as an academic coach could be helpful in my own life as a graduate student (and as an adult, in general). I was in the middle of reading for my Ph.D. qualifying exams and desperately needed a better system. (A list of nearly three hundred books to read in roughly a year felt daunting, to say the least.) Watching as my coaching students revelled in their newfound organizational skills and improved study strategies, I thought to myself, Gee, I should really try these, too.
When virtual classes were announced, I immediately thought about how this meant four more months without my favorite Chapel Hill study spots. As a senior, I owe a lot of my success to the environments that have fostered my creativity (I’m looking at you Wilson Library steps, Meantime Coffee Shop, and the courtyard outside of Swain Hall). Having relocated to Newport, Rhode Island for the semester, I spend a lot of time curating study spots that help me stay motivated. Anything to help me avoid slipping into the monotony of daily routine.
Over the summer, two apps have helped me find the time to read for pleasure. I’ve always loved to read, but, sometime in my sophomore year of college, I realized that I couldn’t remember the last time I read something I picked. Finding time to read anything for fun has been a challenge for me. Because I’ve been reading so much for school, I found myself not wanting to pick reading as my relaxation of choice. I really missed reading, though.
The Word and Phrase Tool is a resource that I use to answer questions about my language use. How is this word usually used in a sentence? Does this sound right? Is this formal enough? All of these come to mind as I write. While a dictionary or a thesaurus can help me research these questions, I sometimes want a collection of real examples of the way language is used in real sentences. That language resource exists: it’s called a corpus. | <urn:uuid:0abc509f-dd00-45d5-bee5-ac3b3e708040> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://writingcenter.unc.edu/category/reading/page/2/ | 2023-09-28T18:11:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.965068 | 524 |
Category: Tools and Strategies
When I first came to college, I found it challenging to balance various elements of my life. From class assignments and club meetings to my work schedule and meet ups with friends, it didn’t take long before I started feeling very overwhelmed. I started thinking: How am I supposed to stay on top of all of these deadlines? How can I figure out when I’ll have time to fit everything in my schedule? Eventually I developed a three-part system to keep myself organized.
I love organizing. I make lists. I make lists of lists. It’s basically an art form at his point. I am, however, an expert procrastinator. I’m also weirdly productive: I get most tasks done before they even hit my to-do list. Putting away laundry? Done. Writing a blog post for work? Sure thing. Editing a friend’s dissertation chapter? You bet.
Like many other students, I’ve recently had to move back home. While I was happy to be reunited with my cat, all the upheaval (and my inability to go get work done at Davis) has made it difficult for me to stay as organized and on top of my work as I used to be. I’ve been using Trello to keep track of all my work and assignments since the start of spring semester, but I began to think that something similar to a traditional planner might also help me keep track of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. So, I turned to the Learning Center’s weekly planners.
Pre-quarantine, my chaotic schedule was kind of helpful. I just did whatever I was supposed to do at any given time and place so that things got done, ideally somewhere around the time that they were supposed to. This schedule involved frantically running around, writing papers in strange places at strange hours, and frequently checking Google Calendar. The challenge of showing up in the right places at the right times and keeping deadlines straight meant that I never really had much choice in terms of where my work happened. Now, there is only one right place to be. That has been a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be.
The hours seemed to pass me by as I worked. Afternoon turned to dusk, dusk to night, and soon I realized that I hadn’t stopped to rest, let alone eat. In the best cases, I had accomplished a great deal. In the worst, I’d done little more than “half-work” all day. By the end of my first week in quarantine, the worst case scenario had become my only scenario.
I wholeheartedly believe that the perfect calendar doesn’t exist. It took me a few years of trial and error to learn that a combination of paper and electronic calendars works best for me. This system doesn’t need to be complicated. In my case, I use Google Calendar to figure out where I need to be (as well as any recurring reminders) and a paper calendar for what I need to do.
What a spring. As new developments surrounding COVID-19 are announced on what seems like a daily basis, getting back to coursework remotely is a daunting and extraordinary task for all of us. One of the biggest difficulties posed by a switch to virtual learning is the loss of routine, which can severely impact our ability to stay organized and keep ourselves accountable for the many projects we have going on. How are you going to balance all of these tasks to make sure you budget your time wisely, prioritize effectively, and remember to do everything? | <urn:uuid:fad6f984-b650-42eb-aca7-05a593a76856> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://writingcenter.unc.edu/category/tools-and-strategies/page/9/ | 2023-09-28T18:17:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.980266 | 743 |
'Stear clear' or 'steer clear,' which of the two is correct? Are they interchangeable? That's what you'll find out in this article.
In short, 'stear clear' is incorrect, and 'steer clear' is the right way to spell the idiom.
'Stear' is an incorrect spelling of the word 'steer.' Therefore, whenever you want to use the phrase 'steer clear,' you must use the spelling 'steer.'
Some people think these are homonyms, but that is not the case. Only one is grammatical.
Steer clear is a phrasal verb, which means that the verb comprises more than one word. If you were to remove one of the words, the meaning would change.
'Steer' on its own means "control the direction of a vehicle."
Put the words together, and you can begin to understand the phrase's meaning. It means controlling your direction so that you stay away from an obstacle or other harmful things.
As a phrasal verb, you can use it to talk about things other than vehicles, too. Overall, it means staying away from something harmful.
Later, we'll look at some examples of the phrase used in sentences so that you can see how to use it in context.
How do you pronounce 'steer clear'? I always like to look at the International Phonetics Alphabet spelling of words, as it helps me understand how the word should sound. If you're not familiar with the IPA and want to improve your pronunciation, it's worth checking out. Here's how the IPA spells' steer clear.'
But if you're not familiar with the IPA, this will give you an idea of how it's supposed to sound:
Now it's time to look at some examples of the phrase 'steer clear' in a sentence. Here goes:
Watch out! Steer clear of those passersby on the side of the road.
I tend to steer clear of political discussions with John as he is very sensitive about the topic.
I'm steering clear of him at the moment; I haven't entirely decided if he's a friend or foe.
We had to take a detour to steer clear of traffic, but we're back on track now.
If you're trying to lose weight, I recommend you steer clear of alcohol and sweet treats.
So there you have it: 'steer clear' is the only correct spelling of the phrasal verb. 'Stear clear' is never right. It's possible that the error is made so often because it's tempting to mirror the spelling of 'stear' with the spelling of 'clear.' But that's incorrect. If you do come across that spelling, don't be tempted to copy it; remember, it's a mistake.

Defender-scan.xyz ads Removal Guide
What is Defender-scan.xyz ads?
Defender-scan.xyz is a malicious website that tries to trick users to download
Defender-scan.xyz is a fake website you shouldn't trust
Defender-scan.xyz is just one of the thousands of websites that have recently been imitating McAfee or Norton antivirus scans. Visitors are told that viruses have been found on their devices and that security software needs to be installed in order to remediate the situation. In reality, these security companies have nothing to do with the promoted message, and it is entirely fake – produced by malicious actors who want to profit from the pay-per-install scheme.
In fact, there is no guarantee that the software downloaded from Defender-scan.xyz is even legitimate. It might be fake, which would result in your system compromise due to potentially unwanted program or malware installation. Under no circumstances install the promoted applications via this scam site.
It is also worth mentioning that redirects to Defender-scan.xyz and similar phishing websites could indicate the presence of adware or even malware on your system. This also comes along with increased ad activity, which can be spotted as pop-ups, banners, flashing windows, auto-play videos, etc. Thus, we recommend checking the device for infections regardless of whether you installed the fake security software or not.
|Type||Scam, phishing, adware, redirect virus|
|Goal||Make people provide personal information, subscribe to useless services, download malicious software or subscribe to push notifications|
|Distribution||Redirects from other malicious websites, adware|
|Risks||Those who have malicious software installed on their systems are more likely to encounter dangerous websites, resulting in financial losses, malware infections|
|Removal||Do not interact with links or other content of a scam site. Instead, check your system with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner security software|
|Other tips||After you eliminate all unwanted/malicious software from your system, make sure you clean your web browsers and repair system files. You can do that automatically with FortectIntego or refer to our manual guide|
Scam message example
Users mostly enter a malicious website after they click a booby-trapped link. Torrents, X-rated, illegal video streaming, and similar high-risk websites are among the most common reasons for redirects to potentially dangerous places. Since the circumstances users get to Defender-scan.xyz are rather unexpected, many users might be caught off guard, and that's precisely what scammers are counting on.
Right after entering the page, users would be presented with what looks like a virus scan being performed by McAfee security software. It would soon claim that the system was infected with five viruses and needs to be cleaned immediately. It is also implied that the security software license has expired and needs to be renewed in order to proceed.
After clicking the “Renew Licence,” users are then rerouted to a website where they are asked to purchase security software. Please disregard these requests, as they might link you to malware download links. If you have installed unknown software, make sure you follow the instructions below to remove it effectively.
Defender-scan.xyz shows fake virus scan results
Remove potentially unwanted programs
Keep in mind that the Defender-scan.xyz virus scan results are always fake – whatever is displayed is fabricated (even the names of malware are not genuine). Even when disregarding these fake results, it would be a good idea to check the system for infections, as there could be adware or malware involved.
You can check your system manually, as we explain below, although we strongly recommend also scanning the device with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner, Malwarebytes, or another powerful anti-malware software.
We recommend first checking the “Extensions” section of your browser and removing all the apps if you aren't completely sure which one is causing trouble. Then you should find and remove unwanted programs installed on the system level:
- Enter Control Panel into the Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
- Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.
- From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
- Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
- If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
- Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.
While moving apps into Trash is how you delete most normal applications, adware tends to create additional files for persistence. Thus, you should look for .plist and other files that could be related to the virus. If you are not sure, skip this step entirely.
- From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
- In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
- Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)
To fully remove an unwanted app, you need to access Application Support, LaunchAgents, and LaunchDaemons folders and delete relevant files:
- Select Go > Go to Folder.
- Enter /Library/Application Support and click Go or press Enter.
- In the Application Support folder, look for any dubious entries and then delete them.
- Now enter /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders the same way and terminate all the related .plist files.
Stop data tracking
Cleaning your browsers is especially important after potentially unwanted/malicious software removal. When you visit websites and enter your passwords or other login details, these preferences are saved in the form of cookies. These tiny files may remain on your local machine until they are removed, all while being used to track information about you.
Passwords and other personal details are encrypted and can not be identified via cookies. However, a dangerous cyberattack known as cookie hijacking might allow cybercriminals to enter your accounts without trouble. Cleaning web browser caches regularly can reduce this probability. We recommend employing FortectIntego repair and maintenance utility instead if you would rather avoid doing this manually.

- Click Menu and pick Options.
- Go to Privacy & Security section.

- Under Time range, pick All time.
- Select Clear now.
- Click Safari > Clear History…
- From the drop-down menu under Clear, pick all history.
- Confirm with Clear History.
Remove push notifications
Phishing websites like Defender-scan.xyz often ask visitors to enable push notifications right after they enter the page. It is yet another way for them to benefit from advertisements, as those who agree would later be exposed to frequent pop-ups shown directly on desktops.
The contents of these push notifications would almost always be misleading or malicious, where users would be told that their systems are infected or that they have won an expensive gift. Please do not interact with these messages, as you may end up installing malware on your system, disclosing your personal data to cybercriminals, or spending money on useless services. In order to remove these pop-ups, follow the steps below.

How to prevent from getting adware
Choose a proper web browser and improve your safety with a VPN tool
Online spying has got momentum in recent years and people are getting more and more interested in how to protect their privacy online. One of the basic means to add a layer of security – choose the most private and secure web browser. Although web browsers can't grant full privacy protection and security, some of them are much better at sandboxing, HTTPS upgrading, active content blocking, tracking blocking, phishing protection, and similar privacy-oriented features. However, if you want true anonymity, we suggest you employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN – it can encrypt all the traffic that comes and goes out of your computer, preventing tracking completely.
Lost your files? Use data recovery software
While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable.

Recent commercial satellite imagery of the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center indicates that construction has been ongoing at a site just south of the Experimental Light Water Reactor (ELWR) since April and has recently picked up pace. Although the exact purpose of the future building is still unclear, it may be intended to play a supportive role in future ELWR operations. The new building is currently located outside the reactor area perimeter security wall, but that can easily be expanded.
Water is still being discharged from the 5 MWe Reactor, indicating some level of operations, although other traditional signatures, such as steam from the generator hall, have not been observed. These activities, along with recently reported construction at the Uranium Enrichment Plant (UEP), all reflect heightened operations throughout the Yongbyon complex.
ELWR Construction Activity
Imagery from April through September shows that a new construction site near the ELWR has picked up pace in recent weeks. A September 15 image reveals that the building will most likely consist of two floors, although slightly larger (47 meters long by 17 meters wide) than the ELWR’s engineering office building (40 by 13 meters). While the construction site is outside the perimeter wall of the reactor area, the main road for the reactor complex runs directly to the new building. Given the size of the construction site, more buildings will likely be constructed there to support ELWR operations.
Figure 1. Construction progress of building near ELWR.
5 MWe Reactor
Imagery from September 9 shows water from the 5 MWe Reactor is still being discharged into the outflow channel leading into the Kuryong River. However, no other traditional indicators, such as steam from the generator hall, have been observed. This could mean that the activity at the reactor is either not currently involved in electrical power production, or that the generator hall has been modified to avoid releasing visible steam plumes. If the reactor is indeed operating without generating electricity, then its sole purpose is to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons.

Many of us are spending a lot more time at home these days. Now, more than ever, you want to do what you can to make sure your home is a healthy environment. If your St. Albert home has an older furnace, it could have an impact on you and your family’s health and overall well-being. Consider these factors and then ask yourself, is it time to call A1 Heating for a furnace replacement? Contact us today.
As your furnace gets older, it will need repairs more often and it will also become less energy efficient. This means higher energy bills each month to keep your family warm throughout the winter. Most manufacturer warranties only last for about 10 years. Therefore, repair costs can become awfully expensive on an older system. An unexpected repair costing hundreds of dollars could cause a hard hit to your family’s monthly budget. The stress of dealing with the added expense caused by an old furnace can take a toll on you. Your money would be better spent on a furnace replacement that won’t stress you out.
An older furnace is more likely to recirculate dust and other irritants throughout your home. This could be a problem, if you or someone in your household suffers from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems. Poor air quality can cause an increase in breathing problems. If it seems like your family is experiencing more colds or an increase in respiratory issues, your old furnace could be the problem.
Carbon monoxide leaks are something that homeowners with older furnaces need to be concerned about. When a furnace malfunctions or its parts begin rusting out, carbon monoxide can be released into the air in your home. This deadly gas is extremely dangerous because it is odorless, invisible, and can only be detected by a carbon monoxide detector. Exposure to this gas can cause serious illness or even death.
An old furnace is much more likely to start a fire in your home than a new furnace. If you do have an older furnace, it is important that you have it inspected and serviced each year to make sure it is working properly. An essential part of this service is checking the furnace’s burner for cracks and wiring and connections for looseness, fraying, and scorching. If you smell fuel, smoke, or a burning odor, you should call for service because your furnace might be at an increased risk for fire.
If your older furnace is becoming more expensive to maintain each year, stressing you out, making you sick, and putting your family at risk, it is time to replace it. The good news is that the cost of ownership of a new furnace is much less because you will need fewer repairs and it will be much more energy efficient. You can rest easy knowing that a furnace replacement will help protect your family’s comfort, health, and safety this winter and for years to come. In the St. Albert area, contact us for a free estimate for your new furnace. | <urn:uuid:d83de9ca-60d1-42fc-95d6-4e95e6728145> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.a1heating.ca/home-air-conditioning-furnace-blog/a-furnace-replacement-could-improve-your-health/ | 2023-09-28T18:33:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.961182 | 605 |

The concept of race was first developed during the late 17th century, with European exploration and colonization of the New World. It was a way to define human differences, especially among Europeans, as well as among people of African and Amerindian descent. Although this idea was not widely accepted by the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans, it is still prevalent today. This idea of race has many close links with deterministic biology and taxonomy.
While some scientists argue that human genetic variations are innate, others say that the concept of race is purely social. There are differences among human groups, but these differences do not represent a biological difference. Some groups may be closer in appearance to one another than others. Those who believe in a biological difference may consider this a valid argument. But many scientists think there is no biological basis for the concept of race. It is possible that a person’s appearance, physiology, and personality traits may be entirely different than that of another person.
Historically, the term race was used to describe linguistic, political, and religious groups. Later, it was used to define different groups based on kinship relations and physical traits. Nowadays, the term “race” is still often used to refer to national affiliations, despite the fact that the term is mostly defined in terms of physical characteristics. However, modern science considers race to be a social construct and not a biological one. If it is used correctly, people of a certain ethnic group may belong to several different races.
The legacy of racial categories continues to shape society and the socioeconomic conditions of various groups. In some areas, minority groups are more likely to live in poverty than other groups. In addition, they have more limited access to health care and education. They are also more likely to experience crime, environmental injustice, and other social ills. Even after centuries of progress, the idea of race is still alive and well in the United States. In addition to being widely accepted and omnipresent, race continues to be a source of prejudice and discrimination against the minority groups.
Modern scholarship focuses on the social construction of race and ethnicity. Race is not inherent in human beings; it is a social construct based on dominant groups. Different cultures have different definitions of race and tend to emphasize the largest groups of social relevance. Furthermore, these definitions of race may change over time. For example, the Brazilian census classifies people into pretos (Blacks), brancos (Whites), and amarelos (Asians).
European colonialism grew to a new level in the 1700s, and the belief that some races were more superior to others largely served to justify the slave trade and colonialism. Although Spanish Catholicism did not want to racially classify slaves, the European enslavement of Africans and indigenous Americans spawned the concept of race. It was a very problematic period in history. Although it is not the only time in history when race has been misused. | <urn:uuid:6b657d2f-9292-4601-b985-35c6b1bfbdba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.aascalifornia.org/the-concept-of-race-and-ethnicity-4/ | 2023-09-28T17:07:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.969185 | 594 |
As the COVID-19 virus spreads to at least 30 countries around the world, including major outbreaks in South Korea, Italy and Iran, the World Health Organisation says all nations need to prepare for a pandemic.
If there is a major outbreak in Australia, Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says every hospital is being prepared to have some form of process for isolation.
Some of the preparations underway include looking to learn from Chinese health officials, and the option to create specialised wards to deal with large numbers of cases.

We continue with Johan Rockström’s climate talks where he describes how we have entered a climate emergency. Today, Johan Rockström points out that 50% of the land area on Earth has been transformed for crops and graze lands to feed the human population. We have lost biodiversity, we have lost carbon sinks and our fertilisers accumulate in the environment. Transition to healthy and sustainable diets, including reducing consumption of red meat would benefit our health and the environment.
Johan Rockström is a Swedish professor of Earth Systems Science and director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. He says the planet cannot tolerate any more abuse. The science is clear. Political ineptitude, economic short-sightedness, manipulation by stakeholders, and the media’s inability to deal with loud climate change denial has brought us to our current position, and that is political failure. These talks were presented on Swedish radio where Johan Rockström outlines why we have entered a climate emergency and what needs to happen. The links below take you to previous talks by Johan Rockström on The Science Show and the talk in full.

An exquisite diamond pendant from the Edwardian (ca1910s) era! Crafted in 14kt yellow gold topped with sterling silver, this heart-shaped piece features a sparkling array of Single, Rose, and old Mine Cut diamonds. The open heart design and its central foliate motif sparkle beautifully as the diamonds catch the light, enhanced further by a single 0.20ct old Mine Cut diamond prong set in the middle of the piece. The heart hangs from a polished yellow gold bail and is ready to attach to a complementary chain. This pendant is an elegant example of Edwardian era jewelry, and would make an incredibly romantic addition to any collection!
Measurements: The pendant hangs a little less than 1 1/2" long, including the bail and measures 7/8" wide and 3/16" in depth.
Condition: The pendant is in overall excellent condition. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold and silver-topped setting. Some of the diamonds display minor chips, but this does not negatively impact the beauty or integrity of the piece. | <urn:uuid:f4f09225-56d1-4b8e-b022-e952db603ad7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.abrandtandson.com/products/edwardian-14kt-sterling-silver-diamond-heart-pendant | 2023-09-28T16:38:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.903789 | 226 |

The Architect's Atlas
- The third volume of the 'Quaderni'
- Presents the reflections of the architect-professors who comprise the Faculty Board of the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture-Università della Svizzera italiana
This is not the customary exposition by the members of the Faculty Board of the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture-Università della Svizzera italiana, of their vision of the discipline and professional practice of architecture. The contributions embody such themes in varying degrees, but above all they present the cultural frame of reference that each architect believes to be the most significant in explaining his or her personality. The term ‘atlas’ in the title should therefore be understood as the set of formative lessons, technological and historical curiosities, aesthetic explorations and intellectual orientations that form the expressive canon of each architect.

Mothers Pray To Be Able To Have Children To Love And Keep
Ed, my old neighbor from Saskatchewan, is getting busier on his farm and complaining that company always comes when you don’t have time to visit with them. Ed learned that their family from Edmonton is coming for the weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. I told Ed that it might be wise to be around on Mother’s Day, even if, he wants to work land and seed. My old neighbor feels that he does not need to be home for Mother’s Day because Ruby is his wife not his mother.
I told Ed that he could be with his family in honor of his mother. He replied that his mother has been dead for ten years now. I suggested then that it might be a good year to put some flowers on his mother’s grave. My old neighbor said his mother wouldn’t know if he put flowers on her grave. I told him that he would know that he honored her with some flowers.
“It doesn’t say anything about Mother’s Day in the Bible,†Ed said.
I agreed with Ed, but reminded him that it does say, “Honor your father and mother, that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.†I also said to Ed, that many of us could no longer call our mothers and tell them that we love them, but we will not forget their love for us, especially on Mother’s Day. Many folks do honor their mothers with the attitude that their mom was one of the very best ever.
Hannah in the Bible wanted to be a mother but could not have children for many years. She was one of two wives to Elkanah. The two wives were known as Peninnah, the wife who could have children, and Hannah, the wife who could not bear children. Each year Hannah went with her husband to Shiloh to worship at the temple and pray. Eli and his two sons were priests there.
One year, Hannah prayed in great anguish at the temple, she was praying in her soul so intensely that her lips moved, but no words came out. Eli, the priest, noticed her and accused her of being drunk. Hannah assured Eli that she was not drunk but praying in high anxiety. She was asking God for a son and promising that if the Lord gave her a son she would give her Son back to God for as long as he lived. Eli told her that she should go in peace and let the God of Israel, grant her prayer.
The Lord blessed Hannah and her husband so that she conceived and bore a son. She called her son Samuel for she had asked for him from the Lord. Hannah kept the child Samuel until he was weaned. Then she took Samuel to Shiloh, to the priest Eli, at the house of Lord, and left Samuel there. Samuel was given to God as Hannah had promised God. Samuel was to be the Lord’s for as long as he would live. Hannah understood that Samuel was given to her so that God could claim Samuel’s life for His purpose. God blessed Hannah with other children after Samuel. | <urn:uuid:9ca952b0-0b71-4e14-a837-fa45624facd7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.accordingtoed.com/answered-prayer/ | 2023-09-28T18:01:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.994983 | 679 |
This "In the Kitchen" column originally ran in the Aug. 26, 2021 Inquirer and Mirror
Garlic is flavor, it’s medicine, it’s folklore.
Asian cuisine doesn’t exist without the inclusion of garlic. In cultures as diverse as those in Japan, China, Greece and Egypt – to name a few – garlic was considered a beneficial treatment for arthritis (it still is), snake and insect bites, chronic cough and as an antibiotic. Many European cultures have used garlic to ward off demons, werewolves and vampires.
Garlic is a pungent and sometimes spicy ingredient added to other ingredients to elevate their culinary profile into something that’s immediately identifiable. It seems that life at the table didn’t exist before garlic bread and its clone, garlic knots.
Some diners believe that garlic belongs in tomato sauce, salad dressings, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, grilled fish and for sure in food from China, the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East.
But some diners would prefer that garlic is never included in any dish. Go figure.
I write about garlic now because I just picked up three of the several varieties of garlic that my brother-in-law grew in his island garden: Transylvania, China Stripe – one of the most popular varieties – and Nootka Rose, new to me, which was created on a farm in Washington State. It’s an organic, non-GMO garlic which disappears quickly from most sellers. If interested, order it now.
As I was making the decision to write about garlic, my old friend, shopkeeper extraordinaire Joanne Rossman of the eponymous shop, also known as Purveyor of the Unnecessary & the Irresistible in Roslindale, sent me a box of her garlic, all in individual bags, labeled with their names, varieties and whether soft neck or hard neck.
The difference between hard-neck and soft-neck garlic is their appearance (hard necks are so-called because of the long flowering stem growing through the center of the bulb, while soft-neck cultivars, on the other hand, yield a greater number of cloves and a generally larger bulb.
From Joanne, I received Romanian Red, Red Toch from the Republic of Georgia, Lotus Turban from China, Lorz named for the Lorz family who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century, and another popular variety, German Red Neck. I’ve got enough garlic to last me until next year’s harvest, and to ward off multiple vampires.
Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino
Spaghetti with Garlic, Oil and Hot Peppers
Every maker of this classic Roman dish has their own way of putting it together, but everyone uses the same ingredients to make it. Almost from the moment I landed in Italy for the first time many decades ago, I was offered a plate of this appealing dish. It was after a night out, exactly when it’s meant to be served. It tantalizes the palate while sopping up one too many glasses of wine, and gets you ready for a good night’s sleep. Deceptively simple to make, this dish, like two other Roman favorites –m Spaghetti alla Carbonara and pasta Cacio e Pepe – relies on the deft use of starchy pasta water to finish cooking and slightly thicken the sauce. I used Nootka Rose with strong garlic flavor to make this dish.
3/4 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup, plus more as desired, extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and very thinly sliced
1-2 whole fresh small red chiles, or small dried chiles, or more, as desired, chopped
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Two Skordalia Recipes
Skordalia is a Greek sauce starring garlic and other ingredients, offered on a mezethes or appetizer platter. Fresh or fried vegetables and little fried fish accompany the sauces, or they accompany them. The recipes are from “The Glorious Foods of Greece” by Diane Kochilas (William Morrow, 2001).
Macedonian Garlic Sauce
Kochilas cites a restaurant in Thessaloniki as a Mecca for mezethes and the source of this preparation. “The regional love affair between garlic and walnuts plays itself out nowhere better that in this local skordalia recipe.” Serve as a dip with all the good, just-harvested island vegetables.
4 to 6 cloves garlic, to taste, peeled
Salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Four 1-inch slices stale rustic bread, crusts removed
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 4 tablespoons red-wine vinegar, to taste
Makes 6-8 servings.
Skordohaviaro (Garlicky Fish Roe Spread)
It just so happens that Glidden’s Island Seafood carries fish roe. So, it’s not a difficult-to-find ingredient on-island. While the recipe asks for “preferably” white roe, the red stuff is exactly the same, just dyed. Serve as a dip. I like it with toasted pita bread.
2 to 3 large cloves garlic, to taste, peeled
1/3 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint or 2 tablespoons dried
1/2 cup tarama (fish roe)
4 one-inch slices stale rustic bread, crusts removed, dampened, squeezed dry and crumbled, or 3 medium waxy potatoes, peeled and boiled in water to cover until tender
2 to 5 tablespoons water, as needed
Makes about two cups, six to eight servings.
Greens with Whole Garlic
This recipe from “101 Easy Asian Recipes” by Peter Meehan and the editors of Lucky Peach (Clarkson Potter, 2015) asks for greens and gives suggestions of what kind, but add to the list with your own choices. It also calls for chicken broth. Use vegetable broth if you prefer. This is the recipe verbatim from the book.
2 tablespoons neutral oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pound pea greens, or large spinach (not baby spinach) or bok choy (babies halved lengthwise or big guys sliced)
1/4 cup chicken broth (or, your choice)
2. Add the greens and toss to coat in the oil. Add the broth and cover the skillet, cooking the greens until wilted and just tender, about two minutes. Serve the greens with the garlic cloves

Learn about the death benefits of life insurance, including the payout process and how beneficiaries can use the funds.
Life is unpredictable, and none of us knows what the future holds. While it's impossible to predict what will happen, we can take steps to prepare for the unexpected. One way to do this is by purchasing life insurance, which provides financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your death. In this article, we'll discuss the importance of life insurance death benefits and how they can help protect your family's future.
In a Life Insurance plan, the death benefit is a crucial component that provides financial support to your beneficiaries after you pass away. It is important to choose a policy with a death benefit that meets your loved ones' financial needs and to review and update your policy as your circumstances change regularly.
When you purchase a life insurance policy, you secure financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your untimely death and invest in a death benefit. It is the sum of money that your designated beneficiaries will receive from your life insurance policy when you pass away. This benefit is typically tax-free and can provide financial support to your loved ones during a difficult time.
The amount of the death benefit is determined by the policy's sum assured, which is the amount of coverage you purchase when you buy the policy. The sum assured can be a fixed amount or a variable amount based on the type of policy you choose.
When you purchase a life insurance policy, you name a beneficiary who will receive the death benefit if you pass away while the policy is in force. The amount of the death benefit is typically chosen by you at the time of purchase and can range from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars depending on your needs and budget.
If you pass away while the policy is in force, the insurance company will pay out the death benefit to your designated beneficiary. Your beneficiary can use the money for any purpose they choose, such as paying off debts, covering living expenses, or investing for the future.
There are specific instances where the beneficiary of a life insurance policy may not be eligible to receive death benefits. Here are some examples.
Suicide within the first year of purchasing the policy.
Death resulting from hazardous activities or self-inflicted injuries.
Death is caused by a sexually transmitted disease, like AIDS.
Demise due to drug or alcohol abuse.
Death resulting from natural disasters, such as earthquakes or tsunamis.
It is crucial to thoroughly understand the terms and conditions of a life insurance policy to ensure that your beneficiaries will receive the death benefits.
Choosing the right life insurance policy is an important decision, with several factors to consider. Here are a few.
The coverage amount you choose should be enough to provide for your family's needs in the event of your death. Consider factors such as your income, outstanding debts, and future expenses when determining the coverage amount.
If you choose a Term Life Insurance policy, you must choose a suitable policy period. For example, if you have young children, a 20-year term may be appropriate to provide for them until they are adults.
The cost of the policy is also an important consideration. While Term Life Insurance is generally less expensive than other life insurance plans, the cost can still vary based on the coverage amount, policy period, and your age and health.
Life insurance policies have varying terms and conditions that affect the payout process. When receiving the death benefit, the policyholder typically has the option to choose between a lump sum payout or monthly instalments through an "assured income" to the beneficiary.
Opting for a monthly payout can be a wise decision for the beneficiary as it helps manage the significant amount of money efficiently, avoiding quick exhaustion of funds due to poor money management.
In case of an early death, where the policyholder passes away within two or three years of signing up for the policy, the insurance company may take longer to investigate to rule out any suspicion of foul play. However, in cases where the policyholder dies many years after signing the policy, the insurance company is less likely to suspect foul play. It may carry out the payout process more quickly.
It is crucial to understand the insurance claim process and its steps to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience when the need arises. Therefore, it is imperative to be well-informed about the insurance policy and its terms to make an informed decision while opting for a payout method.
If you have dependents who rely on your income or if you have debts that would need to be paid off in the event of your death, then life insurance death benefits can provide important financial support to your loved ones.
The amount of life insurance death benefit you need depends on your individual circumstances. Factors to consider include, your income, debts, and the financial needs of your dependents.
Yes, you can name multiple beneficiaries for your life insurance policy. You can also specify how the death benefit should be divided among them.
Yes, you can change your beneficiary at any time during the term of your life insurance policy.
No, life insurance death benefits are typically paid out tax-free to the beneficiary.

Legislavitive Office, former Special Agent, FBI
RE: Roadmap of Justice Department Inspector General’s
Review of the FBI’s Use of National Security Letters
DATE: Monday, March 19, 2007
The American Civil Liberties Union has long had serious concerns about the FBI’s authority to use National Security Letters (NSLs). The Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General (OIG)’s recently released audit of NSLs confirmed that the Patriot Act gave the Justice Department and the FBI too much power. The original Patriot Act, passed in 2001, relaxed restrictions on the FBI’s use of NSLs and the number issued has increased astronomically. While reports previously indicated a hundred-fold increase to 30,000 NSLs issued annually, the recent IG audit shows there were actually at least 143,000 demands issued under the NSL statute issued between 2003 and 2005, and probably many more. The IG examined only a tiny sample of the hundreds of thousands of NSLs the FBI issued, so the report shows just the tip of the iceberg.
The IG identified numerous FBI abuses and misuses of their NSL authority. What follows is a roadmap to the 199-page IG report. It shows that the FBI reported false information to Congress because poor internal management and a disturbing lack of accountability within the FBI make it impossible for anyone to know how many of these letters have been issued, and what information may have been collected with them. Even more disturbingly, it shows the FBI intentionally circumvented the law to gain access to records that weren’t even relevant to any authorized FBI investigation. But the information gathered by these methods is permanently retained.
IG REVIEW OF FBI’s USE OF NATIONAL SECURITY LETTERS
I. Previous Reports To Congress Were Wrong
The FBI was required to report the number of NSL demands to Congress, but those reports vastly understated the FBI’s use of NSLs. According to the IG report and in contrast to their congressional reporting, the FBI database shows the following (p. 37):
NSL Demands in 2000: 8,500
NSL Demands in 2003: 39,346
NSL Demands in 2004: 56,507
NSL Demands in 2005: 47,221
Total NSL Demands 2003-2005: 143,074 (p. 36)
But these numbers fail to capture the depth and range of the FBI’s use and abuse of the NSL authority. For example, just nine NSLs in 2004 requested information on 11,000 separate telephone numbers (p. 36).
Moreover, the IG report shows that the FBI data is wrong, due to three separate problems:
1) Field delays in entering NSL data (p. 33).
Resulted in 4,600 NSL requests not being reported to Congress
2) Incorrect data entries in the NSL database (p. 33).
Resulted in 477 NSLs erroneously excluded from reports to
TOTAL known NSL requests not reported to Congress to be
8,850 (6 percent) (p. 34).
3) Inaccurate data in the FBI NSL database (p. 32).
The IG review of 293 NSLs found in a sample of just 77 case files
17 percent more NSLs in FBI case files than recorded in
the NSL database;
22 percent more NSL requests in FBI case files than in the
46 of 77 files reviewed (60 percent) were deficient in
12 percent of cases did not accurately state whether the
target was a US person (p. 35).
And this power has increasingly been used to gather data on US persons. The IG report showed that NSL requests for information on US persons increased from 39 percent in 2003 to 53 percent in 2005 (p. 38).
II. Indefinite retention of NSL data and potential for data mining of innocent Americans
The data received from NSLs is uploaded into three FBI databases:
- Automated Case Support – 29,000 FBI users, 5,000 non-FBI users (p. 28).
- Telephone Application database – for link analysis, 19,000 users (p. 28).
- Investigative Data Warehouse (p. 30 footnote 64, p. 53):
This “warehouse” includes data from 50 different
government databases, includes 560 million records,
and has 12,000 FBI and non-FBI users
The IG audit found that:
- Information received through NSLs is indefinitely retained and retrievable (p. 110).
- The FBI uses NSLs to close cases by concluding subjects pose no terror threat (p. 44), but that information remains in the databases.
- Data from NSLs is shared with the Intelligence Community, other government agencies and foreign governments (diagram 5.1, p. 47).
- Purging of irrelevant data received with NSLs is not required by DOJ/FBI policy (p. 110).
- The FBI did not issue guidance on sequestering, destroying, or using information improperly received until November of 2006 (p. xxxiv, and p. 29, footnote 62).
The IG also expressed concern about the FBI using NSLs against persons two or three steps removed from subjects (p. 109).
III. Intelligence Oversight Board violations
The Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB) is a standing committee of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Under Executive Order 12863, the IOB is directed to inform the president of any activities that “may be unlawful or contrary to Executive Order or Presidential Directive.” The IG report noted that this directive covers “reports of violations of Department investigative guidelines or investigative procedures.” (p. 68)
The IG audit found the following:
- 26 possible IOB violations were reported to the FBI Office of General Counsel (OGC).
- 19 of those were referred to the IOB by OGC (p. 69).
- IG disagreed with one OGC decision not to send report to IOB (p. 76).
- IG review of just 77 case files found 22 more IOB violations.
- 22 percent of files the IG reviewed contained an unreported IOB violation.
- Agents and analysts don’t review records provided from NSL recipients to determine if records are responsive to their NSL requests (p. 85), in violation of DOJ guidelines.
IV. Private Sector Relationships
The IG report highlights how cozy relationships between FBI counterterrorism officials and private sector entities resulted in the circumvention of the NSL statutes, and the illegal dissemination of private information protected under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and the Right to Financial Privacy Act (RFPA).
The IG report indicates the FBI personnel developed “close working relationships with private sector companies, including telephone companies that furnished points of contact to facilitate the FBI’s access to records held by these companies.” These relationships led to the use of the illegal use of “exigent letters” to circumvent the ECPA laws regarding the privacy of telephone toll records (p. 87).
The IG report indicates that FBI personnel who used “Certificate Letters” to obtain the financial records of 244 named individuals told the FBI Assistant General Counsel that the Federal Reserve Bank personnel providing the records did not feel that NSLs were required because the Federal Reserve Bank was a “quasi-governmental” body. Federal Reserve Bank policy, however, requires that the FBI issue RFPA NSLs before the FBI may obtain Fedwire records. Federal Reserve Bank officials stated that, “the position on whether to require NSLs depended on who the FBI’s point of contact was at the Federal Reserve.” This statement plainly indicates that personal relationships with Federal Reserve employees are used to circumvent the RFPA laws designed to protect private financial records (p. 117).
These examples show how a process with no accountability or oversight can quickly degenerate into a systemic disregard for proper procedures, grave violations of civil liberties, and ultimately intentional violations of the law.
NSLs AND THE COUNTERTERRORISM MISSION OF FBI
The IG uses anecdotal information to report that FBI agents say NSLs are “indispensable” or “our bread and butter” (p. 45), but the numbers tell a different story.
The IG report details 4 cases in which toll billing records obtained from NSLs were used (p.49):
- In one, the FBI “initiated investigations on individuals” identified in toll records received through NSLs, but no results of the investigation were noted.
- In one counterintelligence case, an NSL was used in an investigation that led to a conviction.
- In a third case, an NSL was used to verify that the subject “was in touch with an individual who had been convicted of federal charges.” No outcome reported.
- In a fourth case -another counterintelligence case – NSL toll data revealed that, despite denials, an FBI source was in contact with a foreign intelligence agent.
The IG report details 2 cases in which financial records obtained from NSLs were used (p. 50):
- One counterterrorism case where financial records from NSLs were used to identify sources and recipients of money transfers and assisted in the collection of information on overseas targets.
- One counterterrorism investigation in which financial records obtained from NSLs were used to determine there were no significant ties to criminal activity and therefore the investigation was terminated.
The IG report details 3 cases in which Credit Bureau records obtained with NSLs were used (p. 51):
- One counterintelligence investigation in which Credit Bureau records obtained with NSLs assisted in eliminating concerns that the subject was hiding assets.
- One counterterrorism investigation in which subjects dispersed by Hurricane Katrina were located using credit reports received with NSLs. No results of the investigations were reported.
- One counterterrorism investigation in which a credit report obtained with an NSL was used to locate a subject in another city. The case was transferred to the FBI office in the other city. No results of the investigation were reported.
If these examples seem underwhelming, it may be because the IG had little to work with. Despite agent claims that NSLs are indispensable, the IG found very few instances in which data from NSLs was used to prosecute terrorists. The FBI does not keep records of how NSL-derived information is used (p. 60) so the IG asked FBI field offices to report how many times they referred targets of national security investigations to law enforcement authorities for prosecution.
Responses indicated that “about half” of the FBI offices referred one or more counterterrorism investigation targets for prosecution from 2003 to 2005 (p. 63). Of the 46 FBI offices that responded, 19 said they made no referrals. Of the remaining 27 offices, 22 provided details showing criminal charges in 19 fraud cases, 17 immigration cases and 17 money-laundering cases, using information obtained with NSLs (p. 63). The IG report says one FBI office estimated that it used NSL-derived information in approximately 105 criminal proceedings from 2003 to 2005 (footnote 107, p. 64).
All told, the FBI reported 153 criminal proceedings resulting from 143,074 NSL requests. “Criminal proceedings” means all federal grand jury proceedings, as well as search warrants, indictments and trials (footnote 103, p. 62). The IG documented only one material support for terrorism conviction in a case using data from NSLs (p. 64). In other words, NSLs, sold as anti-terrorism tools, are not producing convictions against suspected terrorists.
IMPROPER OR ILLEGAL USE OF NATIONAL SECURITY LETTERS
The IG report also shows that FBI personnel developed several illegal schemes to circumvent the NSL statutes, abusing the authorities they were given under the Patriot Act and violating the law. The complexity and duration of these schemes demonstrates this misconduct was knowing and intentional.
I. Use of illegal “Exigent Letters” (p. 86-99)
The IG audit found examples in which the FBI circumvented the NSL authority completely by using “exigent letters” to obtain information, with the promise that the agent had already requested a grand jury subpoena or an NSL. The companies receiving the “exigent letters” were asked to turn over sensitive customer information in reliance on that representation. In fact no emergency existed, no grand jury subpoenas or NSLs had been requested before the documents were obtained, and the FBI could not substantiate that agents ever followed through with the proper process.
1) Illegal contracts (p. 87):
The FBI Communications Analysis Unit (CAU) contracted with three telephone companies between May of 2003 and March of 2004, arguing that “previous methods of issuing subpoenas or National Security Letters and having to wait weeks for their service… is insufficient to meet the FBI’s terrorism prevention mission” (p. 88). Under these contracts the three telephone companies would provide the FBI with call data information upon receipt of “exigent letters” signed by FBI Counterterrorism Division personnel who were not authorized to sign NSLs (p. 89). These contracts allowed the FBI and the telephone companies to circumvent the laws controlling the dissemination of telephone toll records.
The FBI Office of General Counsel was aware of these illegal contracts because, as with all FBI contracts, OGC procurement attorneys were involved in reviewing and approving them (see footnote 126, p. 89).
The FBI provided the IG with 739 exigent letters from March 11, 2003 to December 16, 2005 that requested records for 3,000 different telephone numbers (p. 90). Just one letter requested toll information for 171 different numbers (p. 90). But the IG does not know how many “exigent letters” were actually executed because the FBI did not retain copies (p. 90).
The FBI sometimes issued NSLs after receiving requested documents to “cover” the information obtained, but such “cover” NSLs were often issued months later (p. 91).
The FBI could not substantiate that NSLs or other legal process was ever issued to cover the records obtained with the “exigent letters” (p. 91). [FBI claims that the FBI received only documents to which it was entitled to are false.]
2) False statements:
Contrary to the provisions of the contracts that said the FBI would obtain telephone records only after securing the NSLs or grand jury subpoenas, the FBI obtained telephone toll records and subscriber information before serving NSLs or subpoenas, and sometimes without ever serving NSLs or subpoenas (p. 90).
The “exigent letters” issued by the FBI falsely stated that subpoenas had already been requested from the US Attorney when no such request had been made. The IG could not confirm even one instance in which a subpoena had been requested (p. 92).
Despite the language in the letters claiming exigent circumstances, many “exigent letters” were used to collect information when no exigent circumstances existed (p. 92).
The FBI made “factual misstatements in its official letters to the telephone companies either as to the existence of an emergency justifying shortcuts around lawful procedures or with respect to the steps the FBI supposedly had taken to secure lawful process” (p 97).
When CAU asked FBI field offices to send NSLs to cover the “exigent letter” requests, they often did not disclose that CAU had already received the documents (p.92).
3) No investigative authority for the “exigent letters” (p. 92):
The NSL statutes require Senior Executive Service level officials to certify that information sought with NSLs is relevant to an authorized investigation. “Exigent letters” were often issued with no authorized investigation tied to the request.
After receiving documents in response to the “exigent letters” CAU officials asked FBI field offices to open new investigations so after-the-fact NSLs could be issued, without saying the documents were already received. Many FBI offices resisted these efforts.
4) NSLs issued from control files with no open or pending investigations:
300 NSLs issued as part of a “classified special project” (possibly the NSA program?) were issued from a control file that did not reference an authorized investigation (p. 98).
Six NSLs from the Electronic Surveillance Operations and Sharing Unit were issued to Internet Service Providers without reference to any pending investigation, and were signed by an NSLB attorney. The FBI Unit Chief argued this was within the “spirit” of the law (p. 101).
5) FBI Attorneys knew of abuse of NSL authorities:
FBI field offices complained to National Security Law Branch attorneys (p. 93).
In late 2004 an NSLB Assistant General Counsel said the practice of using “exigent letters did not comply with the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) NSL statute (p. 93).
In December of 2004 an NSLB Assistant General Counsel complained that CAU requests for NSLs failed to disclose that CAU had already received the documents (footnote 129, p 93).
By law, NSLs can only be issued in connection with an authorized investigation. Nonetheless, an NSLB Attorney signed Electronic Surveillance Operations and Sharing Unit NSLs that were issued without reference to any authorized investigation (p.100).
6) FBI NSLB Attorneys issued inappropriate advice (p. 93):
For two years starting in late 2004 NSLB attorneys counseled CAU officials to:
- Discontinue use of “exigent letters” except in true emergencies.
- Tie requests to existing investigations, or open new ones.
- Issue NSLs promptly after serving the “exigent letters.”
- Modify the letters to reference NSLs rather than subpoenas.
- Consider opening “umbrella” investigations from which NSLs could be issued. (This was not done because CAU officials told NSLB, falsely, that each “exigent letter” could be tied to an open investigation and that such requests were “few and far between.”)
Starting in June of 2006 “exigent letters” were modified to reference NSLs (p. 94).
As of March 2007 the FBI is unable to determine whether NSLs or grand jury subpoenas were issued to cover the documents requested with “exigent letters” (p. 94).
7) FBI attorneys were intimidated into approving NSLs (p. 112-114):
IG interviews revealed that FBI attorneys serving as Chief Division Counsels in FBI field offices approved NSL requests they would have preferred to reject for legal inadequacy because they were afraid to challenge their FBI superiors who had approved the investigations (p 113). The intimidation of FBI legal counsels demonstrates that the FBI cannot be expected to police itself. Independent oversight is the only mechanism that will ensure the FBI is complying with the law.
II. Illegal “Certificate Letters” used to receive records from the Federal Reserve Bank (p. 115-119):
A second illegal scheme the IG discovered involved the Terrorist Financing Operations Unit at FBI Headquarters, which issued unauthorized “Certificate Letters” to obtain financial records of 244 individuals in violation of the Right to Financial Privacy Act.
1) Circumventing the Right to Financial Privacy Act (RFPA):
The FBI circumvented the requirements of the RFPA by using “Certificate Letters” instead of RFPA NSLs to obtain “financial records” from the Federal Reserve Bank (p. 115).
The IG identified 19 “Certificate Letters” requesting information on 244 named individuals, but could not determine the number of letters issued because the FBI did not keep copies (p. 115).
Not all individuals whose records were sought were subjects of investigations (p. 116).
FBI officials who signed the “Certificate Letters” were not authorized to sign NSLs (p. 116).
2) FBI officials mischaracterized nature of “Certificate Letters” to hide abuse:
In July of 2004 NSLB attorneys learned of “Certificate Letters,” but were told by FBI personnel, falsely, that the letters only asked the Federal Reserve whether it had records. NSLB instructed FBI officials to ensure no records were sought with the letters (p. 116).
In fall of 2004 NSLB attorneys learned the letters were being used to obtain records, were being used in non-emergency situations, and after-the-fact NSLs covering these requests were delayed as long as six months. NSLB again advised FBI officials not to obtain financial documents except with a duly authorized NSL (p. 116-117).
The FBI issued at least three “Certificate Letters” in contravention to NSLB advice (p. 117-118).
Federal Reserve Bank officials told the IG they did not consider themselves a “financial institution” within the meaning of the RFPA, and did not consider Fedwire records “financial records.” Yet they admitted Federal Reserve Bank policy requires the FBI to issue RFPA NSLs before the FBI may obtain Fedwire records and “financial records,” and that they should not have provided records without RFPA NSLs (p. 117).
Despite this, the IG could not reach a legal conclusion as to whether the Federal Reserve Bank is a “financial institution” within the meaning of RFPA, and could not conclude that the FBI’s practice of using “Certificate Letters” violated RFPA (p. 117).
The IG report shows more than just poor management and incompetence in the FBI’s handling of its authorities under the NSL statutes. It shows widespread disregard for the few limits Congress imposed, and an institutional willingness to intentionally violate the law to collect vast troves of data that are not even being used to prosecute terrorists. The IG report shows that the ACLU was right to oppose this gross expansion of unchecked power.
The full IG report is available at:
Additional ACLU concerns about the use of NSLs is available at: www.aclu.org/nsl
The ACLU has challenged this Patriot Act statute in court with two cases: one involving an Internet Service Provider; the second a group of librarians. In both cases, the judges ruled that the gags were unconstitutional. The case involving the Internet Service Provider is ongoing because the ACLU and its client have challenged the constitutionality of the NSL provision itself. In court, the ACLU and its client are arguing that the provision violates the First Amendment insofar as it requires judges to rubber stamp gag orders issued by the FBI. Argument before the district court is expected in April. For more information about the ACLU’s legal challenges to the NSL provision, see www.aclu.org/nsl
Fedwire is the Federal Reserve Bank’s electronic funds and securities transfer service (p. 116-117).
The Intelligence Authorization Act of 2004 expanded the definition of “financial institution” in the RFPA to cover travel agencies, Western Union, real estate agents, insurance companies, casinos, car dealers, the Postal Service, and “an agency of the United States Government or of a State or local government carrying out a duty or power of a business Described in this paragraph”

Green Graphene Quantum Dots
Green Graphene Quantum Dots‚ Solution‚ CAS NO.: 7440-40-0
CAS NO.: 7440-40-0
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are fueling the imagination of researchers around the world. These nanoscale particles possess unique and fascinating physical properties such as strong quantum confinement and edge effects and robust, tunable photoluminescence; modifying the size, shape, and defects allows users to tailor the GQDs to specific functions and applications. Green graphene quantum dots give off a distinct green glow.
GQDs inherit a number of valuable characteristics from graphene, enhancing their potential for various applications. Unlike metal or silicon quantum dots, graphene quantum dots are biocompatible and photo stable. They also demonstrate outstanding electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties that are all directly attributable to the graphene component. The possible uses for GQDs are in the most infant stages; the impact of QDS remains to be discovered. Opportunities include:
- Biometric markers for imaging
- Memory devices
