NeST (Network for a Sustainable Tomorrow), formerly known as the Binghamton Regional Sustainability Coalition (BRSC), was formed in mid-2008 following a series of community forums on sustainability and a community visioning session.
NeST connects with countless organizations, businesses, and individuals through its events, programs, listservs, and social media.
Organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, NeST has been working to follow-through on its promise of improving the quality of life in the eastern Southern Tier of New York State today without compromising the quality of life of future generations.
The future is more local than it is global as we transition to an ecological/complex systems model to address our challenges.
In governance, politics, and community development, we are moving toward multi-cellular, inter-locking, and adaptive living networks collaborating at ever increasing speeds to achieve well-being.
Growth is no longer the prime measurement of progress: well-being, equity, prosociality, and improved quality of life for all need to be considered as well.
To unlock the true potential for interconnection and living interdependently, it is key to create a society of stakeholders.
Wealth creation requires a multi-disciplinary approach that starts at the neighborhood/community level. Wealth creation is comprised of seven forms of wealth capital that, in addition to financial capital, include built, individual, intellectual, natural, political and social capital.

We want to make renewable electricity the easiest choice for everyone – so all our electricity tariffs are 100% green, often for less than other suppliers' standard mix tariffs.
We work out how much power our customers are taking out of the grid annually (a mix of power sources, from wind to fossil fuels) and ensure an equal amount of renewable electricity is added into the system in its place over the year. Not only does this make your electricity carbon free – it gradually helps make the energy system greener for everyone!
How we help our customers and the whole of the UK have green energy usage
£6bn worth of renewable generation
Octopus Energy Generation is one of Europe's largest investors in renewable power, managing ~4GW of renewable electricity over 240 large-scale green energy projects spanning 10 countries, with a combined asset value of £6 billion. In July 2023, we committed a further £15 billion investment in offshore wind which will go towards the generation of 12 GW of renewable electricity capacity; enough power for 10 million homes.
By 2030, Octopus Energy Generation is targeting 20 GW of European green generation projects, enough power for 15 million homes.
Find out moreBuying renewable electricity from 700 UK renewable generators
We buy renewable electricity directly from more than 700 generators here in the UK via contracts called ‘Power Purchase Agreements’, or PPAs. Read more about the wind, solar and hydro generators we work with.
We've begun buying and adopting our own renewable electricity generators: we own two fans in Yorkshire and South Wales and have adopted a further two in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire from within the wind farms we operate – and that's just the start.
Through the Octopus Fan Club, communities who live closest to our Fans get their power up to 50% cheaper when the turbines are working hardest.
Want a wind turbine on your land? We match-make willing landowners with enthusiastic communities who want their own renewable electricity source. Understand more about how wind power is the future of UK energy and learn how you can be a part of it.
Find out moreOfgem approved renewable energy certificates
Official certificates such as 'Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin' (REGO) certificates are crucial in the UK's energy system – used by all renewable electricity suppliers to certify and track the renewable electricity flowing through the nation's wires, and give funding directly to UK green producers.
We buy enough of these alongside energy on the open market to cover all our customers' electricity, which pumps even more investment into UK renewable electricity generation.
Unlocking green power for the people
We believe in forging deep connections between communities and their green power. We are buying green power from one-third of the community energy sector, from over 250 Power Purchase Agreements. Through these energy projects, locals own and run their own green generation, and profit is reinvested in local charity or environmental initiatives.
We're long term supporters of Renewable World, an incredible Brighton-based charity building innovative renewable energy projects to fuel-poor communities worldwide.

Moving to net zero
To have any hope of halting climate catastrophe, we need to change the energy system on a global scale.
We're pushing system-wide changes to end all reliance on fossil fuels in energy, heating and transport.
Our technology is unlocking the smart energy system of the future: making the most of the renewable sources of energy we already have, changing how and when all of us use power, and finding new ways to get around and heat our homes. Crucially, we're making sure customers get rewarded for making green energy choices.
Be energy independent and save up to 90% on your electricity bill with an Octopus Energy solar panel and battery installation. If you're ready to generate and store your own renewable electricity, and sell excess energy back to the grid then find out more.
Cutting-edge smart green energy tariffs
Our one-of-a-kind smart tariffs are a whole new way of buying and using green energy, rewarding you for moving your energy consumption to the 'greenest' times of day and integrating with smart devices to create the blueprint for a low carbon smart home.
Thousands of homes across the UK use these innovative beta tariffs, getting paid to use up renewable electricity, or to export power from their solar panels, to support the UK electricity grid and reduce the need for fossil fuels. Last year, we paid £5,400,000 to over 600,000 customers for reducing their electricity consumption at the time the grid was dirtiest. Each time, their collective savings saved as much as a gas powered-station could generate.
Find out moreThe heat pump revolution
We've made it possible for the greenest solution in home-heating - the heat pump - to be installed & run for a similar cost to a gas boiler. Our standard installation costs range from as low as £500. It can cost more if you have a larger home or non standard installation but virtually all our quotes are less than the national average of £5,500. Both of these prices include the new government grant of £7,500. We’ve been working hard to bring heat pumps to you at the lowest price possible. 90% of our heat pump quotes are lower than the national average cost. With home heating making up 17% of the UK's overall emissions (largely thanks to gas boilers), we see huge potential for change.
Over 1.7 million people replace their boilers every year, find out how we're revolutionising heat pumps as the planet friendly alternative, and cutting carbon by around 70%.
Find out moreElectric transport for all
Transport contributes over 1/3 of all greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, so we're working to make EVs the simplest, most affordable choice for all.
Octopus Electric Vehicles is bringing electric vehicles to people and businesses through impartial advice, leasing packages, EV chargers, smart electricity – even super innovative stuff like our vehicle-to-grid charging trial, Powerloop.
Over 50% of the UK's public EV charging points are available in our app: discover the Electric Universe.
Driving critical research into low carbon energy
We've invested £5,000,000 into the creation of the Centre for Net Zero. The Centre autonomously analyses our global customer dataset in depth, through field trials, experimentation and cutting-edge AI models it generates insights about the active participation of people in the future energy system.
CNZ uses its research to influence the key decisions of governments, policy-makers and grid operators, promoting the acceleration of the energy transition at low cost.
Green energy: Frequently asked questions
What is green energy?
Green energy is energy that does not produce carbon emissions when you use it. At Octopus, we primarily purchase your electricity from wind, solar and hydro (water) to power our 100% green electricity. Non-green energy, such as coal or natural gas however does produce carbon emissions when you use it.
How can a smart meter make me greener?
Smart meters make you more aware of your energy usage, so you can think about ways to reduce what you're using. But beyond that, they can also be great tools to support and balance the national energy system. Automatic, half-hourly smart meter readings give customers access to "dynamically-priced" energy tariffs such as Agile Octopus, where you can pay less to use energy at times of day when it's 'greener' i.e. on a particularly windy or sunny day, or in the early hours when demand is really low and there's lots of surplus green power not being used.
This way, smart meters can help encourage people to use less power at the busiest times to avoid the need to burn extra fossil fuels to meet the extra demand. Collectively, this could make a real difference to lower your bills and the UKs carbon emissions – and we're working to show this through our available smart tariffs like Octopus Agile, Octopus Go, Outgoing Octopus and smart energy projects like Saving Sessions.
If my energy comes from the grid, how can it be 100% green?
Green electricity suppliers can't pump clean electrons through separate wires to your home. Instead, all energy generators, green and dirty, pump energy into the electricity grid, and it's this 'energy mix' that powers your home. Suppliers like Octopus are green because we invest in renewable generators in a number of different ways to support them to pump even more green electricity into the system.
We buy electricity from renewable generators to match some of the energy our customers use, for the rest we have 'PPA' agreements with 700 renewable generators, some independent, and some from within the £6 billion, 4GW portfolio of UK renewable energy producers we operate.
Legal stuff we have to say
- The renewable electricity we sell is backed by Ofgem-approved renewable certificates (such as Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates (REGOs)) and Power Purchase Agreements with UK green energy producers. We offset gas emissions by supporting Renewable World's Gold Standard certified carbon avoidance projects.
- Carbon emissions calculations - The total tonnes of CO2e we have offset with our partner Renewable World for members on our Super Green tariff is 1,056,700tCO2e. A 24 hour long haul flight emits 3.4tCO2e per seat, the total return flight journey time between London and New York is 16 hours 30 minutes. This equates to 2.3375tCO2e per seat per return flight from London to New York. Assuming a Boeing 777 to New York has 350 occupied seats, that’s 818.125tCO2e emissions per return flight from London to New York. Divided by the total amount of tCO2e we have offset with Renewable World that’s equivalent to 1,292 return flights from London to New York. (source: How Bad Are Bananas - Mike Berners Lee)
- Energy consumed in the home accounts for 17% of the UKs territorial Greenhouse Gas emissions. Transport accounts for 34% of the UKs territorial Greenhouse Gas emissions. (Source: 2022 UK greenhouse gas emissions: provisional figures)

In the previous weekend, the pan-democratic parties held a pre-elimination poll across the districts to screen out the “right” candidates running in the upcoming feisty Legislative Council election after a year of unsettling turmoil in Hong Kong.
The city’s opposition camp united to call on the anti-enactment of national security law and laam chau (mutual-destruction) for voters points to a tough backlash of the new security law. As more than 600,000 citizens participated in the primary election, the result indicates a territory-wide spread of opposition camp’s political stance, a dangerous take-on for the PRC government and pro-Beijing parties.
Recent pro-Beijing voices express their concerns over the so-called primary election might have constituted election fraud by misleading or implying to voters to cast their vote to certain candidates – those who are allegedly being keen supporters of laam chau and anarchy, if the latter fits in the past burning cityscape during protests.
In response to the primary election, the Government states that such election does not exist in any of the legal procedure of Hong Kong law. In other terms, due to the questioning impartiality, it is a doubtful matter whether the results or candidates participating in primary election enjoy the legitimacy as a nail-on-the-board running candidate.
The primary election though, is just the beginning of the plentiful political discussions in the coming months. As China now faces the unprecedented tension with the US in recent years, Hong Kong, as a region that tangles the superpowers’ interests, has global spotlight shed on it. The LegCo election is not only the imaginary “end-game” for localists and pan-dem, but also a signal for Beijing to examine the public attitude on trend while the national security law is doing its job right (or not).
Notable activists like Joshua Wong are also running for this year’s election despite the security law explicitly restricts local politicians infiltrate the authoritative power with foreign influences. Wong has been multiply accused of holding foreign connections and scheming to destroy Beijing’s One Country Two Systems policy-making by local lawmakers and mainland media. Recently, Wong’s political counterpart Nathan Law has already fled overseas and withdrawn from the primary election. Could this mean the “35-plus” campaign face an inevitable reprisal and need for new strategies to slide into the threshold? But if Beijing’s intervention in the election fit in their expectation of laam chau, why did Law have to aboard the election?
Even for those who remain within the border, public controversy arises on whether these opposing candidates should sign the confirmation document which requires candidates to acknowledge Hong Kong is an “inalienable” part of China, support One Country Two Systems and Basic Law. In 2016, currently imprisoned localist Edward Leung was disqualified in that year’s LegCo race even though he had signed the form. The Election Office explained that Leung’s previous public behaviours showed high tendency of sovereignty separation. Hence, the fate of those who won in the primary election still remains unknown.
Not only activists like Wong emphasize such conspiracy against Chinese government out of blue, (and the fact that he is being spied and stalked by anonymous), pan-democratic parties have been alluring the public to vote for them in the name of developing “constitutionally reasonable” means to combat Carrie Lam’s “tyranny”. Seizing a seat at the Council now seems to be their only way to resist from within – although that majorly means filibustering the government’s infrastructure proposals and other pending budgets. Both Beijing and the citizens ought to be aware of radicalisation and enabling extremist candidates from getting a seat at the Council.
Therefore, the confirmation form does not only screen out those who might execute “self-destruction” inside LegCo, but to reassure candidates do not possess the intention to detriment the integrity of China and Hong Kong’s sovereign belonging. Now the Britain has issued what protesters call “parachute”, the BNO citizenship scheme, to Hong Kongers, local politicians and Beijing must rethink about their strategies in balancing national security and public opinions as it might spike an immigration trend in Hong Kong. This September, to win or to surrender? It is a question for both sides. But one thing for sure is that, Hong Kong citizens need to think before they vote than casting a precious ballot to those who would insincerely perform duties at LegCo and be disqualified.
Hong Kong cannot afford another year of flames and fear in their irrational hands.

Ukraine born photographer Julia Gorodetskaya speaks about her love of Odessa and of the South Brooklyn, New York City neighborhood of Brighton Beach. Her work has previously appeared in The Odessa Review’s “Photographer in Focus” portfolio section.
When I was a kid, I lived with my mom in a big Communal apartment in the heart of Odessa on the corner of Lenin and Bebel Streets. Before the 1917 revolution the Lenin street was named after Odessa’s French governor Richelieu and Bebel Street was Jewish Street. At the time our huge “communa’ was just one big family apartment. But during my childhood it was a place where 9 families were gathered under one roof. All of us had separate rooms, but there was only one kitchen for all, as well as only one bathroom and one restroom. The people who lived there all sincerely hated each other – some openly, some secretly. But the kitchen always smelled of tasty food, and one could see the center of the city through the window and I was young.
Somehow “Little Odessa” constantly reminds me of that time in my life. When I miss home, I take a visit to Brighton Beach. I go to listen to what remains of the world of people who speak with the accent of my childhood. To see the sea (the locals do not call it an ocean, of course). To buy some tasty vegetables that one can not find in a regular American supermarket. And even to receive some not so polite rebuke (the reason for it being given do not matter). It is as if time had stopped there. I remember my first visit to Brighton Beach about 12 years ago. When I filmed every piece of “my New York”. I could have walked into to every expensive store on 5th Avenue and nobody would have asked me about my big camera bag. But here on Brighton, the salesman in a book shop demanded of me that “I leave that bag in the checkroom because I am not going to pay for what you are going to steal”. | <urn:uuid:13dbd559-9845-4538-ab53-0a044a75e545> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://odessareview.com/pageantry-brighton-beach-glorious-color/ | 2024-04-18T08:33:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.982595 | 429 |
Do you need a convincingly decrepit room on a budget? Do you want to pull off a haunting Halloween look on the cheap and easy? Are you fed up with polyester spiderwebs that get stuck in everything and are impossible to clean up?
You’ll love today’s halloween hack: cheesecloth.
All you need is a pack of cheesecloth — I get mine at the grocery for about $1.99 — but if you’d like to go extra creepfest, pop your cloth in a pot of tea for a few minutes to get a dirty, time-worn look. Then cut strips in one side of the cloth and rip, pull and tear until it looks appropriately like ethereal leavings, and hang as desired. It’s particularly good for doorways and windows, but it’s pretty versatile stuff — take it outside and suddenly you’ve got a haunted tree. You can even use it to make full-on ghostly figures if you want!
And when you’re done — remember that we all want to see what you’ve made in the Offbeat Home Flickr pool. | <urn:uuid:4da3b509-6868-40b4-a3ae-73d11339b2ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://offbeathome.com/cheesecloth-cobwebs/ | 2024-04-18T07:30:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.931709 | 241 |
Pelotonia is a two-day bike ride that raises funds for cancer research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — On Saturday, Pelotonia celebrated 15 years of funding life-saving cancer research during Ride Weekend.
The two-day bike ride raises funds for cancer research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, The James.
With routes ranging from 24 miles to 184 miles, cyclists collected donations before Ride Weekend. Routes started in Central Ohio, passing through downtown, Pickerington and New Albany, and toured the countryside all the way to Gambier.
“We are riding for my husband Chip, who was diagnosed with melanoma cancer in December,” said Sarah Moore, a cyclist who rode with her son, Quinn.
She joined about 6,500 cyclists who made the commitment to bike across the region.
“I think every family knows someone, either in their family, or a friend who has been touched by cancer,” said cyclist Paul Gilbert. “I’m riding for my grandfather and my cousin. My grandfather passed away from leukemia, and my cousin was recently diagnosed with HPV throat cancer.”
New this year, all Saturday routes took riders through Pickerington for the first time since 2019. The 100-mile route had multiple opportunities for riders to choose more or less hilly spans and reunite to finish as a team. And the popular Sunday loop will feature a completely redesigned route.
There are opportunities to give back beyond Ride Weekend. You can make donations online, or register to be a “virtual challenger”, with a minimum commitment of $100 and up to five activity goals by Oct. 15.

Types of wagers
These include moneyline wagers, over/under wagers, and also aspect escalates. These wagers are actually frequently the very first bets noted for a complement and often tend to be easier to know than additional complicated wagers like teasers or even parlays.
Over/under wagers, also referred to as total amounts in the United States, are actually a sort of wager that anticipates whether a certain figure will be actually higher or less than a sportsbook’s probabilities. A sportsbook could detail a total amount of 220 purposes for a video game in between the Celtics as well as Warriors. If the final score is actually more than the over/under, you gain. 토토사이트
You can place a selection of different kinds of wagers at leading internet sportsbooks, consisting of NFL betting possibilities. You may wager on whether a team is going to gain the Super Bowl or even the champion name.
Spread wagers are a sort of sports betting that is actually developed to focus the arena in between 2 rivals who are not evenly matched in relations to skill. They are actually likewise called handicapping probabilities as well as are typically set through sportsbooks prior to a game starts. They are based upon a number of aspects, consisting of the stamina of each group, home-field benefit, and also trauma condition. When a staff deals with a spread, it suggests that it will definitely win the video game through a certain amount.
Apart from the aspect spread, there are actually additionally various other kinds of sports wagers, such as total amounts (over/under bets). These are actually based upon the number of points recorded by both staffs. They could be affected through personal injuries and also various other factors, which is why the lines commonly move in the run-up to an activity.

Moneyline wagering is similar to direct array wagers, but along with one variation: the winning payments are based on how much a wagerer wagers, not on the overall scope of triumph. This is actually why it is very important to recognize patterns in the probabilities, such as when a preferred staff has a great record against a certain rival along with match sides. This expertise can easily assist you make much more successful moneyline bets Furthermore, you may likewise make use of style recognition to recognize prospective value in the possibilities of potential events. This could be specifically handy in real-time betting.
Double up wagers
Wager wagers are a wonderful technique to increase the payment on succeeding wagers. They can easily feature an assortment of different types of bets consisting of moneylines, spreadings, and over/under total amounts. However, parlays should be conserved, as the possibilities of striking them are actually much even worse than that of a single activity bet. Parlays are also often paid up in arms that are listed below their real odds of succeeding. For example, a two-team NFL parlay located solely on the spreading pays at 2.64:1 when it needs to really shell out at 3:1.
Some sportsbooks even restrict connected parlays, which are actually parlays that contain outcomes that are related per other. As an example, a wagerer might blend an over/under total on a baseball activity and also a player set on Lamar Jackson to attack a certain lot of rushing gardens in the same activity.
While they aren’t simple to gain, parlays can give some desirable payouts. Beware: if one of the legs loses, the whole parlay will certainly be actually terminated. Be certain to maintain your parlay bets to a minimum required and also make them of only your greatest assortments.

A gaining futures bet demands cautious study, as the possibilities for a crew or gamer may modify significantly after each game. Productive sporting activities bettors determine teams or even gamers with concealed market value in their chances and also put a bet when they feel the real odds of a win are higher than what the existing probabilities demonstrate.
While the long-lasting profits of a futures wager can be appealing, it is necessary to remember that a section of your gambling money is actually tied up for an extensive amount of time. For many sporting activities bettors, this can be a significant downside and also is actually certainly not ideal for those who choose to possess various wagers throughout the season. This is actually why it is actually a really good concept to adjust your Maryland online sportsbook stake so you may wager on props, overalls and also single-game wagers.
These feature moneyline wagers, over/under wagers, as well as point escalates. These bets are often the first wagers noted for a match as well as have a tendency to be much easier to recognize than more complex wagers like parlays or tasters. You may position an assortment of various types of bets at leading on-line sportsbooks, featuring NFL betting choices. Spread wagers are actually a style of sports wagering that is designed to focus the playing area between 2 opponents that are actually not equally matched in terms of capability. Aside coming from the point spread, there are actually also various other kinds of sports bets, such as overalls (over/under bets). | <urn:uuid:3b9f4e78-2a5d-4426-8884-9ace67ed2da1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://old-tavern.com/discovering-the-perks-of-sports-a-detailed-review/ | 2024-04-18T06:51:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.970012 | 1,354 |

Oregon Door is a leading manufacturer of quality flush interior architectural wood doors. They offer a complete product line to meet the most diverse uses and exacting standards. Oregon Door’s success is the result of years of delighting customers. As an organization, they serve architects, systems integrators, developers, distributors, contractors, and design/build teams, by not only creating quality products but also providing quality service quickly and hassle-free.
Number of Employees
Oregon Door Management team has a long tradition of focusing on process improvement. They sought OMEP’s support to continue their lean training, with a special focus on materials management. Additionally, the team wanted to continue applying lean principles to the flow of doors through the plant to better meet customer needs.
OMEP partnered with Oregon Door on several key initiatives designed to eliminate waste and improve flow through hour-by-hour and on-time delivery. Beginning with the value stream mapping process, the team mapped out Current State, set a desired Future State and built an implementation plan. They focused especially on the areas of inventory, flow, and the sales order process.
The team began by conducting a current state review of inventory to reduce materials shortages and improve point of use. Additionally, they focused on 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize & Sustain) & 9 Waste training for all teams and departments. Lean principles were applied to administrative areas, from Sales to Scheduling.
Through the value stream mapping process, it was discovered that moving the Skin Grading work center closer to the Layup team would allow for better materials flow. Utilizing the new space available after the Skin Grading center was moved, the team reconfigured and applied 5S to the skins warehouse. The improvement allowed the team to find materials in 60 seconds or less and eliminate obsolete and low-use materials.
Oregon Door Management has made significant improvements in production efficiency, lead time and quality. As a result, they have increased throughput by 69% and experienced a 40% decrease in labor contribution per door. In addition to retaining all existing jobs, they have created 3 new jobs. Oregon Door is poised for continuous growth and success on their lean journey.
When Brian and I began to explore the option of using OMEP to help with my initiatives here at Oregon Door, I was very pessimistic. My past experience with other Lean consultants was they would come in, give some base information, point out all your failures, and then leave. Subsequent reviews were always a beat down on what was still wrong.
I am very glad that you and OMEP do not operate in that manner. To have OMEP truly come alongside and partner with us, to get down in the trenches with us, has been both refreshing and rewarding. It has been hard work, but we can all see the progress that has been made since we began this journey together. The partnering is such a critical element to the success. I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Yvonne and OMEP. Looking forward to the continued journey! | <urn:uuid:e5810770-bf11-4a78-b3ba-0a1d6bdb1d37> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://omep.org/success-story/oregon-door/ | 2024-04-18T08:19:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.965897 | 620 |

Kathmandu, September 16: Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Giriraj Mani Pokharel has stressed on the need for increasing study and research in the science and technology sector.
Taking part in the discussions on the ‘Bill Designed to Provide for the Safe and Peaceful Use of Atomic and Radioactive Substances’, in the meeting of the Education and Health Committee of the House of Representatives today, Minister Pokhrel said it will be appropriate to forward the bill only after holding extensive discussions on it.
He suggested that the clause-wise discussions on the bill should be pursued only after studying several topics by giving more time as it is a technical matter.
Meanwhile, Committee member Gagan Kumar Thapa said many provisions in the bill will have to be clearly defined. Another member Chitra Lekha Yadav also suggested making some changes in the Act | <urn:uuid:06e8e283-03bb-488a-86d0-06d756694c99> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://onlineradionepal.gov.np/2019/09/16/14435.html | 2024-04-18T08:01:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.96902 | 181 |

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-632, An Act to expand the mandate of Service Canada in respect of the death of a Canadian citizen or Canadian resident.
Mr. Speaker, currently when a Canadian dies, a family member typically has to contact about a dozen federal departments and agencies to cancel tax records, passports, social insurance cards and various other benefits and IDs. This is a hard process, especially for people who are already grieving the loss of a loved one. It is unfair for the government to force them to repeat the story over and over again to different federal agents.
The bill would establish a one-stop shop for grieving Canadians to contact all federal departments with a single phone call or email after a loved one dies. It would eliminate a burdensome obligation for Canadians going through a very difficult period and I believe would ultimately save Canadian taxpayers a tremendous amount of money and stress.
It is important that we deal with the issue of bereavement in a very professional and compassionate way and this bill seeks to do that through the human resources department of Service Canada.

When it comes to operating Lambda, we often want to configure alarms to alert us when things aren’t running smoothly. Naturally our first choice for Lambda alarms is CloudWatch, the default monitoring service that comes with AWS.
CloudWatch gives us some custom metrics out-of-the-box, such as: errors and invocation rates. But there are some problems we run into when setting up alarms based directly on these metrics.
By the end of this article you’ll understand why alarms based on default AWS Lambda Metrics can cause difficulty, how AWS Metric Math helps us to apply “context” in our alarms and make them more effective, and how to setup an alarm using metric math to calculate an error rate percentage.
Note: For today’s article, I’ll use Terraform for the examples. But, I’ll also explain what’s going on in each part, so you can translate back into whatever tool you are using. No need to worry if you don’t understand Terraform.
Alerting: Why We Alert.
Okay, so to start our conversation, let’s take a whole step back, and consider why we setup alerts on software components in the first place.
Alarms exist to notify us when our system behaves in an unexpected way, which warrants manual intervention to correct. Intervention could be scaling up our services, restarting them or administrating an expired SSL certificate.
The important part to note here is the fact that alerts should “warrant manual intervention”. What do we mean by this exactly? It means that we should aim to only alert within our systems when our system cannot automatically recover and human intervention is absolutely necessary.
But why? Because if we alert too frequently, we end up suffering from what is known as: alerting fatigue. Alerting fatigue is when alerts are so frequent that they simply get ignored. When the time comes for a truly rapid response to an incident, response times will be sluggish sine the issue won’t be acted upon quick enough. So it’s important that we ensure that our alerts are meaningful.
When it comes to AWS Lambda and setting up alarms in CloudWatch, there are some pitfalls that you’ll want to avoid. Let me explain…
How AWS Metrics And Alarms Work
The way that alarms work in AWS (and many other monitoring tools) is via thresholds. You choose a metric (i.e number of errors), you choose a time period (i.e hourly) and finally you choose a threshold (i.e 5 errors). If the metric exceeds, or drops above or below that threshold, we can get alerted.
And, luckily, when it comes to AWS Lambda, we’re given some nice default metrics out-of-the-box which we can use as a basis for our alarms. These are: concurrent executions, duration, errors, throttles and number of invocations.
The skill of creating good alerts lies in finding the right balance of metrics, time periods, and thresholds. We need to choose appropriate metrics and thresholds given the context of our service. And at this point you might be wondering what I mean by “context”? So let me explain…
The Problem with AWS out-of-the-box Metrics
For instance, if one error out of five invocations occurs on a payment API, it could be worth investigating, but one error in a million serving a non-critical image might not be worth our attention. So when it comes to setting alarms we do want to incorporate these other factors, such as the number of invocations.
Which is why setting up alerts using only the default metrics can often be ineffective, as they don’t take into account wider context, such as the number of invocations. We might configure alerts that either fire too much, or not enough.
The solution? Take into account the context, such as the current traffic, and our tolerance for errors. But now you might be wondering: “How do we incorporate this context in a more practical sense?”
We can incorporate context using a feature in AWS CloudWatch called “metric math”. Metric math allows us to combine different metrics together to create new ones. Metric math is a simple concept, once you understand the principles.
Let’s now look at how metric math helps us achieve more effective alerting.
Configure An Error Rate CloudWatch Alarm
In 2018, AWS introduced a feature called “metric math”. Whilst metric math is conceptually simple, there are definitely a few fiddly bits that you’ll need to get your head around in order to fully understand how it works.
Let’s jump straight into the deep end and take a look at a full example of metric math in action…
When I first read this snippet I was like: “Woah! What’s going on here?”. To understand what’s going on, let’s start to break things down into three parts.
- The Alarm In Plain English — We’ll start by understanding what this alarm is doing in plain english, when we strip away all the jargon.
- CloudWatch Alarm Values — We’ll cover the CloudWatch alarm values, these are the values we must always set for CloudWatch alarms.
- Metric Math & Return Data — Lastly we’ll cover how the metric math works, and how we assign our metric to our alarm.
Wowza, a lot to get through, let’s get to it.
1. Our Alarm Configuration In Plain English
Let’s start our breakdown by converting this alarm into plain english.
Our alarm is saying something like this…
Trigger an alarm if the number of errors the lambda receives in any 15 minute window exceeds 5% of the total invocations. In other words, trigger an alarm if in a 15 minute window there is more than 1 erroneous invocation for every 20 successful ones.
And that’s all that’s going on, it’s just a case of understanding the syntax.
So let’s break down the syntax to start to understand it
2. CloudWatch Alarm Configuration
If you look back at the snippet, you’ll see there is a main block, associated with the alarm itself, and then a series of nested children metric_query
blocks. Let’s start with the first block, looking at the properties associated with it.
The first block is the CloudWatch alarm itself. Since AWS is quite modular by design, the alarm resource in AWS is merely a system for setting thresholds on metrics. CloudWatch alarms push actions to other services, typically SNS which then “do things” when the alarm is triggered.
This block is almost 90% of our alarm configuration, it’s just missing our metric (but that’s where things get interesting!)
So, what do the CloudWatch alarm values mean?
- Alarm Name / Description — Add your own documentation to your alarm to more easily identify and understand it later.
- Comparison Operator — Tells CloudWatch whether the alarm should trigger when a metric is greater than or less than the threshold.
- Evaluation Periods — The number of periods in which the alarm is compared to the threshold.
- Data Points To Alarm — The number of times the threshold needs to breach (in the evaluation periods) to be triggered.
- Alarm Actions — What to do when the alarm is triggered.
- Threshold — The value at which our alarm should be triggered.
These are the main ingredients of our alarm. It’s worth mentioning at this point that we could attach a basic metric to our alarm, such as the count of errors. This would then alert us if the count of errors exceeds 5 within a 15 minute window.
But, as we discussed before, by attaching a basic error rate like this, we’re likely to miss important scenarios, or we’re going to over-alert. Neither scenario is ideal. So, how do we add context and make our alarm more effective?
3. Metric Math Configuration
We add context to our alarm by configuring an advanced metric value. You can think of metric math as a small calculation that can be performed on top of your existing metrics at the point in which they are computed.
In our case, rather than taking errors to use with our alarm, we’re going to take the number of errors, and divide them by the number of invocations. In doing so we get a percentage of errors, which now takes into account invocations.
Now this means that our alarm will behave in the same way whether we get one request, or one million requests. And that’s important for our effective alerting.
Sounds good, but how does it work?
Metric math works by applying one or more queries and assigning the result to a variable, which is the id
property. You gather up many of these “variables” as you need, before finally, returning an expression which utilises your variables, which can be seen in our final config block.
In our scenario, we first take the sum of errors in a 900 second period, which is 15 minutes, and assign the value to errorCount
. We then take the sum of our invocations in a 15 minute period, and assign the value to invocations
Then finally we use the expression (errrCount / invocations) * 100
to create our new, metric errorRate
, which is the value of our expression that consists of two metrics. Can you see how that works?
Now our original CloudWatch alarm values, such as the threshold we originally set now apply to this metric. Notice how now the value is a percentage, not a static value? Our alarm is now configured so that it will alert us when our new errorRate
percentage exceeds 5%.
By using metric math, we’ve created a more powerful alarm then we could if we only used the simple out-of-the-box error metrics that we get in CloudWatch.
Effective Alerting, Completed.
By using the metric math feature in AWS we were able to write alarms that take into account the context of our service and are more powerful than the basic metrics alone. With metric math you can achieve some pretty neat things.
Hopefully that helped you better understand not only how alerts work in AWS, but how to write them effectively so that they’re actionable. Now hopefully you get more signal than noise which and end up responding to incidents faster!

So concludes composer Susan Kander and librettist Roberta Gumbel’s trim, crackling 45-minute opera about an African American mom’s gnawing fear that her son, armed with nothing more than his first driver’s license at sixteen, could become an especial target for unwarranted violence, owing to his race.
The musical and dramatic structure defines the phrase “lean and mean.” Or perhaps, rather, “lean and fraught with meaning.” It is tempting to call it a monodrama, since it features one real named character, Mother. But really, it is a trio since the cellist and percussionist are non-named characters in their own right.
The basic through line is Mother’s loving relationship with her young son, from her doting on him as a baby, through terrible twos, growing pains, school days, and budding adulthood. Ms. Gumbel’s revelatory libretto charts this developing relationship with witty observation and fosters our belief that the two have forged a deep and abiding bond, even though we never see the boy in their conversations.
This outer narrative story is frequently interrupted by a stream of inner consciousness, parenthetical quotes that are ripped from the headlines. We know them all too well. The plight of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, Tyre Nichols. . .need I go on? This juxtaposition of documented disproportionate incidents involving African-American victims chillingly underscores Mother’s fear for her son. Sadly, it is not unfounded.
Roberta Gumbel has not only crafted a compelling dramatic presentation, but she also performs the role of Mother with unbridled skill and barely controlled passion. Ms. Gumbel’s seasoned, sizable lyric soprano can soar and dip, whisper and scream, croon and command with accomplished ease. She knows how to land every moment and nail it she does, with pathos and humanity.
The musical writing is unlike anything you have probably heard. Composer Susan Kander has scored it for soprano, cello, and percussion, but writing those three words does not come anywhere near to describing the variety and profusion of layered effects she masterfully unleashes. Cellist Cremaine Booker and percussionist David Leon Verin are Herculean in meeting the myriad demands of Ms. Kander’s kaleidoscopic soundscape. They actually serve as a chorus, that helps narrate the action and move it forward.
In addition to what you might “usually” expect from these two instrumentalists, they are called upon to clap, activate a tambourine or bass drum with a foot, tap the body of the cello with the hand, release a deflating balloon, punch a tone cluster on a toy piano, slap their bodies, rap sticks together, snap their fingers, and occasionally, speak or sing. These numerous unsettling and stinging effects are what you might expect in a scary movie.
One harrowing musical and dramatic moment that has haunted me ever since was when we were told a young man had been severely beaten. The two musicians, in silent unison, raised bows in the air and brought them down again and again in swooshing unison. My mind and heart filled in the brutal sound of clubs meeting their mark. Horrifying.
I was reminded of similar non-traditional musical effects that characterized Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Momentethat I saw on PBS lo those many teenage years ago. Although Ms. Kander’s creation is a small fraction of that sized opus, it is no less startling, fresh, and daring. While dwb is atonal overall, there are mere flashes of “usual” harmonies and tunes here and there, that land like emotional lightning bolts for their sudden familiarity. This skillful wedding of music and text was at once highly satisfying, profoundly moving, and relentlessly thought-provoking.
Director Chip Miller has kept the staging simple, clean, and focused. There is a low platform stage right that contains four black and chrome chairs that suggest the car, with the large bank of percussion up stage left, fronted by the cellist and his extra accoutrements. While the blocking was straightforward, Mr. Miller injected variety of positioning, not easy to do when there is really only one character to position! It’s relative stillness was arguably a great strength, allowing the work (and Ms. Gumbel’s internalization of the role) to speak for itself.
I caught the performance in Grand View University’s Viking Theatre, a beautiful thrust stage, with the playing area situated so the audience sits on three sides. This was a touring performance that was playing the last of its run here, and it was clearly staged as a straight front proscenium presentation. While I understand why it was similarly presented that way on this occasion, it would have been enhanced even further by tweaking it just a bit to acknowledge the layout.
Performances were followed by lively panel discussions and observations that were co-sponsored by Humanities Iowa.
This piece was a bold choice in a state where the population is 90% white, and the nearly sold out audience seemed an even higher percentage. DMMO is to be applauded for advocating for social justice, and staging this piece coupled with the post-show exchange to allow it to instruct and inform, without scolding or shaming.
Those in attendance were clearly moved to listen and ponder an absorbing message, to strive to understand and, dare I say, hope. It was heartening indeed to think that many are willing to listen, learn, and perhaps together, create a better world.

What is SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION advertising and marketing?

So quality: what Google is trying to measure after they’re attempting to figure out what websites ought to rank is offering something useful or unique or attention-grabbing to googles searchers. For example: good content material—if you are selling t-shirts and you’re utilizing the same description that every different t-shirt seller is using on their website then you are not providing anything unique to Google’s searchers.

A dropship enterprise means that you are promoting bodily items that you’ve got different companies ship out. For example, chances are you’ll create an internet site promoting desk lamps.

I have worked as a physician assistant in orthopedics for over 20yrs with a particular interest in joint replacement surgery. Operation Walk Carolinas aligns my passions for helping others with an opportunity to change lives and communities in an immediate and profound way. When you can give the gift of painfree mobility to these patients you have also restored their hope and their independence. Seeing the genuine gratitude and trust from these patients we help gives me true joy as a healthcare professional. If I worked 50 more years in US healthcare, it would not generate an ounce of the warmth and kindness that I feel on a single mission trip. These trips change you at your core. Although these patients see an immediate physical improvement in their mobility, under the surface you will see a restoration of hope, resilience and renewal to their human spirit. I am honored to have served as a PA on trips to Cuba, Panama and Honduras and can’t emphasize enough how special it is to witness the incredible teaming of people that occurs on these trips. | <urn:uuid:e1e6553e-7767-48eb-9043-a2b96a191027> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://opwalkcarolinas.org/team/jennifer-suckow/ | 2024-04-18T06:29:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.966563 | 204 |
A floor lamp can transform dark corners into cozy nooks that invite relaxation and conversation. It can also elevate your decor style, whether you prefer sleek and modern or more vintage-inspired designs.
However, it's important to know how tall a floor lamp should be before making a purchase. Otherwise, it may look out of proportion or glare into guests' eyes.
Are floor lamps in style?
Floor lamps are a stylish and practical way to light your living room, especially if you have dark corners in the space. You can also use them to add ambiance after the sun goes down, creating a biophilic atmosphere in your home that mimics the soothing qualities of natural light.
As with other types of lighting fixtures, you can find floor lamps in an array of shapes, sizes, and styles to suit any decorating scheme. Some are more modern and sleek in appearance, while others have a classic traditional feel with a drum or bell-shaped shade. You can even get lamps with shelves attached to the base for additional storage and a chic design element.
You can also use floor lamps to highlight architectural features, artwork, or gallery walls. Ideally, you want to position your lamp so it can illuminate these focal points in your living room. A curved floor lamp is a great option because it will illuminate these areas without impeding the flow of foot traffic around your furniture.
It's also important to keep in mind that the floor lamp you choose should be proportional to the size of your living room. An overly large or small lamp will create visual clutter and disrupt the overall balance of the space.
When choosing a floor lamp, consider the material and color to help it align with the elements in your living room. The metal element symbolizes clarity, precision, and efficiency. You can incorporate this element through a lamp with a metal base and a white, gray, or metallic shade. The wood element represents growth, expansion, and vitality. This can be represented through a wooden or bamboo-based lamp with a green or blue shade. The wood element is linked to the northeast and southwest directions, so you can reinforce this energy by positioning your floor lamp in those areas.
How tall should a floor lamp be?
When deciding on the height of your floor lamp, take into account the scale of the other pieces in your living room. You don’t want a lamp that is so tall that it dwarfs the furniture around it or so short that it looks out of place and too close to the ground. Generally speaking, your floor lamp should be about the same height as the bottom of your chair or sofa cushion. This gives you the right level of light for reading and other tasks without creating glare.
The most common type of floor lamp is an ambient or standard lamp topped with a traditional shade that diffuses the light for semi-direct illumination. This type of floor lamp is a great choice for a corner of your living room or next to a comfortable lounge chair. It’s also a good option for a reading nook, as it can be directed at the book or magazine you’re working on to avoid eye strain.
A curved or arched floor lamp can add a striking touch to your home decor. It can stand alone or be paired with a side table on either side of a sofa or in a corner of the room. Arched lamps can also be used to illuminate artwork or a gallery wall. A large curved lamp with a metallic shade works well with a traditional decor scheme and can help draw attention to the artwork.
A floor lamp can serve as an additional layer of lighting in your living room, complementing the overhead central lights and other wall sconces. It can be especially useful for evening reading, socializing, and relaxing. When using a floor lamp as a reading light, it’s important to remember that the bulb is angled down and will cast a narrower area of lighting than a regular standing lamp with a more expansive shade.
How to pick a floor lamp?
When deciding on the perfect lamp, consider its intended purpose and style. If it will be used for reading, for example, then the bottom of the shade should be around eye level when sitting. This will eliminate pesky shadows and glare, making for a comfortable spot to relax and read. You also want to choose a shade that suits your style and décor. A translucent shade works well with softer ambient lighting, while opaque shades are great for accent lighting and drawing attention to a focal point.
If you plan on using a floor lamp for general illumination, then opt for one with a larger base and shade to provide more light coverage. If you have a smaller space, then go with a slimmer base and shade that’s more compact and subtle. Then, pick a fixture with a dimmer switch to control the amount of light you’re getting.
A popular placement for a floor lamp is next to the sofa or reading chair. This setup is a common and convenient way to light up a living room, and it’s sure to look stylish regardless of the furniture arrangement. However, you should avoid placing a standing lamp in front of a window, as this will block natural light from entering the room at night and can make it feel darker overall.
Another option is to place a floor lamp in a corner of the room to add both style and function to an otherwise bare area. If you’re going for a classic, traditional look, opt for a lampshade made from fabric or wicker, like the ones pictured here. Or, if you prefer modern minimalism, try a metal base with a sleek shade.
You can also use a floor lamp to brighten up a dark hallway or entryway. Just be sure to choose a fixture with an on/off switch and a light bulb that’s safe for the area, such as a halogen bulb, which provides more natural-looking task lighting and helps colors appear sharper. | <urn:uuid:80d8006b-f47d-4739-99d6-28f6b1992d73> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://orangme.com/en-us/blogs/blog/where-to-place-floor-lamps-in-living-rooms | 2024-04-18T06:43:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.926171 | 1,215 |
Jammu & Kashmir: As many as four terrorists travelling in a truck to Srinagar were killed in an encounter in the Sidhra area of Jammu on December 28 morning.
ADGP Mukesh Singh said that a Quick Response Team on the national highway noticed an unusual movement of a truck and started following it. As the vehicle reached the Naka at Sidhra bridge around 7 am, the police signalled it to stop and asked the driver to step out. The driver responded but escaped, taking advantage of the dense fog.
The police and security forces then started searching the truck, prompting the militants hiding inside to open fire, which led to retaliatory firing by the search parties, the police said. Security forces immediately cordoned off the vehicle and stopped the movement of vehicular traffic on that stretch of the highway. During the exchange of fire, the terrorists were killed and the vehicle caught fire, the police said.
Yesterday, a major terrorist attack was averted in Udhampur near Jammu after a 15 kg improvised explosive device was defused by the police.
Police also recovered a coded sheet and letter pad page of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and detained a suspect.
The police also recovered seven AK-47 rifles and three pistols, along with other ammunition, from the truck.
Earlier on December 23, National Investigating agency (NIA) carried out searches at fourteen locations in J&K against people involved in spreading terrorist activities in the Union Territory.
During the raid, various incriminating materials such as digital devices, SIM cards and digital storage devices have been seized, the NIA said in a statement.
Recently, the Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai in an address mentioned that there has been a substantial decline in terrorist attacks, from 417 in 2018 to 229 in 2021. One hundred eighty terrorist have been killed in J&K this year. | <urn:uuid:f1229ecc-e383-478d-8fb6-613360102cdb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://organiser.org/2022/12/28/102770/bharat/4-terrorists-killed-in-jammu-encounter-truck-driver-absconding/ | 2024-04-18T07:59:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.975268 | 388 |

Let’s jump into the deep:
As we know that Traditional brick-and-mortar stores are slowly impelling towards online marketing, or they began to work harder and invest in their marketing strategy by their focus on digital marketing plans. These digital media marketing solutions keep focusing on taking the fast-growing and lucrative online market. The process of attracting online customers will explain whether a business is thriving and successful or unsuccessful. You need a quality website for online business success.

Any building and upcoming business can profit from a strong online presence. An online presence provides a better opportunity for businesses to sustain, compete, and grow.
Digital marketing keeps evolving over time. Sometimes it becomes hard for a business to join with all the latest marketing techniques and technologies. As a business owner, you have some control over the pace of development of marketing technologies, so it is important what you can control. Digital marketing is a collection of various platforms that allow you to design campaigns and connect with your audience in a very elegant and effective manner.
Below mentioned are a few reasons how digital marketing services help to grow your business:
Create converting and valuable content
Content is the fuel you need to run your marketing campaign. Good content is essential for promoting businesses online. When drafting content for different platforms, focus on delivering value as a real-time solution. To perform well in search engines, optimize your content with targeted keywords without making your content spam or robots.
Develop a healthy presence on social media
No matter your industry, you should not eliminate social media from your marketing strategy. If done properly, social media marketing is an effective way to create brand awareness and accelerate business. Most small companies expand their customer base by creating and managing profiles on social media networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn. It may not be convenient for your potential or existing customers to communicate or provide feedback through your website. This is where an effective social media presence comes in handy. You can attract and engage your audience on social media to exchange direct messages. Channels like Facebook also support businesses running paid advertising campaigns to get fast results.
PPC is a type of paid advertising that promotes companies to encourage leads and sales. If you have to get more clients as soon as possible then missing out on opportunities like PPC isn’t a wise option. Google Ads is one of the most popular PPC platforms that provide advertisers to launch ads and pay a small fee each time someone clicks on their ads. However, creating a strong PPC campaign needs practice and research. It is suggested to you to have a professional and proven digital advertising agency to achieve all of your online marketing-related affairs under one roof. So, don’t panic to look for professional assistance.
Analyze your current SEO situation
If you already have a well-designed website for your business, evaluate its health in terms of search engine ranking and usability. The digital space is a noisy world where companies have to work hard to achieve a high rank in search results. When it comes to optimizing your digital footprint, SEO is an important component of any comprehensive digital marketing strategy.
While it takes at least six months to a year to see the result of your SEO efforts, you have to start at some point if you are serious about your success. This requires a massive advertising budget for search engines to optimize their website. Therefore, ensure a well-thought-out SEO strategy. Generating highly targeted traffic to your site is easy without proper SEO.
When implementing an SEO strategy, think long-term. High ranking for competitive keywords is a long-term project that requires time, high-quality content, and a results-driven approach.
An effective digital marketing plan results in higher conversion rates, which ultimately helps the business earn higher revenues. Digital marketing schemes help to generate a lot more revenue than various traditional marketing channels. According to Google, companies that have incorporated digital marketing plans have a 2.8-fold increase in revenue. Companies using digital marketing have 3.3 times the potential to grow their workforce and business.
There are huge capitals for spending on various channels of small and medium business marketing. TV ads are very expensive, and so are the fees for billboards and print advertisements.
Not all businesses have so much money to spend on marketing their business. This is where digital advertising plays a major role, digital marketing plans do not require huge capital and they have the potential to reach a wider target audience at a lower cost.
Digital media marketing solutions provide businesses that have better and significantly cost-effective marketing channels that communicate more efficiently, converting a larger number of target audiences.
Building a Brand name
If a business is able to give what they guarantee to their targeted audiences, it plays a very important role in building a brand reputation. This will help in gaining the trust of the end-users build more effective and better relationships with the consumers.
Whether your business is small or large, digital media marketing solutions can help each and every organization to establish a strong and reputable brand name. Having a unique logo for the organization, creating a tagline or slogan can help the company define a constant and strong brand.
Wider reach and geographical expansion
If you want to grow your business to a new geographical location then using traditional marketing tactics is a tiresome and time-consuming task.
By having appropriate Digital marketing plans, one can easily extend their business to new areas and locations without any terrestrial hurdles. Digital marketing campaigns can be built easily and in no time, they are greatly flexible and you can target your kind of audience without any hassles.
Targeting the potential audience
Digital marketing is a boon for brands as they can target their audience while doing online marketing. It is a waste to reach a wider audience that is not interested in the brand, which is usually in print and television advertising.
Online marketing provides a business to a target of its audience in terms of geographical, age, interest, and etc.
Stronger form than the traditional style
In fact, online marketing is more affordable and effective than traditional methods. The amount of money spent offline or through print or television marketing is much more than paid advertisements that run online. The return on investment is very high which leads to effective result generation. Ads run online are analyzed and performed for better performance. This is why brands nowadays prefer to market their products and services online rather than through traditional methods.
Creating reliable branding
No matter the size of the business small or large with digital marketing, every organization can create stable and reliable branding. A unique logo with the name of the organization, a tagline or a slogan as well as professional-looking graphics all need to be portrayed as a strong and consistent brand. In the digital marketing space, this type of branding helps to bridge the gap between small and large enterprises. Also, excellent branding helps attract people to take an interest in the brand and engage with it.
You can use a feedback tool on the website for getting customer feedback through your website. It will improve your brand value.
Search rankings can improve results
Even if a business has made assumptions about who the potential customers are, it is always advisable to review the search rankings. Search engines like Google are considered a platform where customers search for their ideal product or services of choice. Digital marketing helps to increase the sales of businesses by capturing potential leads who are already interested in purchasing the same category of products/services.
Maintaining a strong social media presence
It is proved that millions of people spend most of their time on social media in some other form of media. Not having a social media account to connect with the audience would be a silly task for a business. Staying updated and upgraded with social media is an important aspect of business growth. Some social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. are considered indispensable platforms to attract new customers and at the same time maintain a healthy relationship with existing ones.

Instagram is one of the fastest-growing and most popular social platforms. Many of us want to grow our IG accounts. The contest, giveaways, etc. are the best techniques to grow an IG account. Here I will share how to grow your Instagram account.
Let’s jump into the deep:
Wondering how to run a contest on Instagram? Looking for Instagram giveaway ideas you can personalize?
In this composition, you’ll find tips and alleviation to help you plan successful Instagram comps that support your marketing pretensions.
What Are Instagram’s Rules for Contests?
When it comes to Instagram contests, a dominant rule to cleave to, and which utmost people are ignorant of, is the statement of release. The following statement (or an analogous one) MUST be included on all contest posts participated to Instagram:
Pro Tips: Assuming that you plan to consistently run challenges, think about duplicating this verbiage and posting it in a note or application on your cell phone for simple access for future challenge posts.
Instagram requires you to run your contest fairly, icing you don’t violate any civil, state, or other laws applicable to your area. In addition, Instagram requires you to include sanctioned contest rules and terms of eligibility.
Remember that you can’t tag anyone in the contest post who’s not actually in the post itself, and you can’t ask druggies to label themselves in a print in which they don’t appear. Druggies can mention (label) people in the commentary of a post but can’t tag others in the actual post itself.
Engage your audience
Giveaways, by nature, give your audience the opportunity to interact with your brand and content. They can bring favorable engagement to the algorithms in the form of likes and comments, of course. But more importantly, they can encourage the kind of engagement that cannot be measured by statistics.
Contests and giveaways will enable authentic user engagement, bringing audiences closer to your page, its whole, and its ethos. This gets people talking on and off social media about what your brand does and can increase overall brand awareness for all online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Collect user-generated content
Contests can be a great opportunity for your audience to generate content (free and creative) for your page. Whether it’s captioning, photoshopping, or art contests, it’s a way to push the creative side of your followers forward.
Plus, your followers will love seeing it – UGC acts as social proof, showing your followers and new visitors that your brand is loved by the community.
How to set up an Instagram giveaways
Plan your contest
We recommend that you start by defining your contest plan. It will be a question of choosing the type of content that you wish to organize. You will also need to set time constraints. Make sure the contest end time and date are clear and respected when choosing the winner.
Perhaps more importantly, you’ll want to set a goal. What are you aiming to achieve with this contest? More subscribers? Increased number of sales for a specific product or service? Either way, find out early on what you want to accomplish, which will make it much easier to track contest success.
Set the Rules
Every contest has rules. Yours will be no different. Whether it’s registration deadlines or what your subscribers need to do to participate, make sure they’re clear and readable.
When posting giveaway information on Instagram, it may be best to include the guidelines in the caption. This will make them easy to find for your followers.
When sharing the contest on your website, dedicated landing page, or different social media platforms, it’s going to be best to incorporate all vital rules in advance. If it is not possible, try to describe the principles/rules to the gift message caption or any other places on the landing page or social platforms.
If your contest is for a particular area, please clearly mention it.
Pick a Prize
This part should be fun! Decide what your subscribers will be competing for. It could be a product or an assortment of products, a gift card or something else. Just be sure to choose a prize that makes your Instagram contest worthwhile.
It’s also wise to make sure the price is related to your brand. General rewards such as cash or Amazon gift cards will attract random subscribers looking for a chance to earn a quick buck. Offering products and rewards related to your page’s subject matter is more effective. It ensures that anyone who registers and follows you for the competition is involved in what you are doing.
Promote Your Contest
Now that you’ve decided what to give away, it’s time to make sure people know you’re giving it down, to begin with! Promote your Instagram contest as extensively as possible. You’ll want to partake it on your Instagram Stories as well as any other social media platform your brand uses.
How to Create Instagram Giveaway Rules
Before you launch your contest on Instagram, you need to make sure you follow both the rules and the right tips. After all, there are laws surrounding contests that you will need to make sure you follow.
Here I’m sharing my experience of Instagram giveaways:
Follow the Law
It might sound silly, however, there are literally laws close contests surpass brands, even on Instagram. It’s more sophisticated by the actual fact that these laws are usually location-specific. They will vary from state to state and become significantly complicated once it involves international coverage relationships.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to creating sure you aren’t breaking any laws by hosting your contest. You’ll need to do the analysis on your own and should even realize it is worthy to possess an attorney to assist you out. ensuring you are covering all of your legal bases is often very important in holding a palmy Instagram giveaway.
Make it clear that Instagram is not involved in the contest
It is important! Instagram has a set of guidelines for promotions of all kinds that run on the app. You must specify that your “giveaway” is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by or associated with Instagram.
Never Ask Instagram for Support
Because of the on top of the rule, Instagram is pretty passive once it involves giveaways. they create it clear that “If you employ our service to administer your promotion, you are doing this at your own risk.” this can be why it’s very important to create certain you define your rules ahead which you’ve got done your legal research. If issues with the giveaway arise, they’ll air you to fix it.
Instagram will also not answer any of your contest-related questions. Instagram’s contest policy states that it “will not help you administer your promotion and cannot tell you whether consent is required for the use of User Content or how to obtain the necessary consent”.

Philosophical observations on Bridger's liveliest lines.
The unexamined life is not worth living.—Socrates
Hiking the bootpack to the top of the Bridger Ridge provides just enough time to lose myself in thought. I climb step-by-step, with peace of mind and admiration for the beauty around me—I think of it as bootpack meditation. There are people in front and behind me; from a distance we look like a line of ants crawling up a mound.
It’s a silly thing, really. Humans devote meaning to all aspects of life, and skiing is no exception. Terrain takes on greater significance when navigated on skis. Hunks of limestone become cliffs to jump off and narrow snow-filled notches become chutes to wiggle through. And sometimes, particularly on this hike, I wonder if there is a “right way” to ski.
In a time before mine, Tom Jungst named the chutes through the walls of Hidden Gully “the Virtues.” The ancient Greek stoics probably never imagined there’d be passages in rock walls dedicated to their ideologies, but maybe the answer I seek is in the terrain I travel through. Maybe the answer lies in the four clefts of rock corresponding with the cardinal virtues themselves: Prudence, Justice, Restraint, and Courage.
Knowledge of what is good and bad; inherent wisdom encouraging caution. This virtue is basic, and like its corresponding ski run, a solid prerequisite to the remaining three.
From the skier’s right entrance of Hidden Gully, work your way past the chute’s easier alternate entrance, come around the corner and discover the top. When sticking your tips out over the edge, a spectacular south-facing cliff wall stares you down. Haphazardly dropping in and screaming toward the other side of Hidden is not a good idea. Skiing the First Virtue smoothly requires an understanding of Prudence—an awareness of what is good and bad in skiing.
When the First is filled in enough and the snow is good, you can make big turns through the entrance, and tighten them as you descend into the funneling pinch. From here, make a controlled right turn into the runout and hopefully score a faceshot. You’ll feel the smooth snow under your feet and realize the awesome absurdity of what you are doing. Moments like these are what make skiing so incredibly fun. But knowing your limits is important, and this can be assessed via the next virtue.
This is the state underlying a “law-abiding” way of life. For our circumstances, let’s refer to the National Ski Areas Association Responsibility Code when it says to not do anything that could seriously injure yourself or another.
This Second Virtue is more serious, and it’s just a few turns down from the First. The off-camber fall line at the start forces skiers to carefully traverse above or below a small boulder on the hanging snowfield. From here, skiing into Hidden becomes easier with every turn. But the wall on skier’s left makes it difficult to spot people below and ensure a clear outrun.
Getting a buddy to hang out below and check for traffic is always the best way to do this line justice. But equally important is risk management. Which brings us to the Third Virtue.
Moderation of the soul; finding discipline in regulating pleasure and pain, an attempt to achieve balance. Practicing sustainable skiing is tricky, especially at the beginning of the season when you want to ski as hard as you were at the end of the previous season. The Third Virtue acts as an offering to demonstrate restraint, because there are a few different ways you can ski it.
Most seasons, this line stays relatively wide in the beginning with a straightforward entrance. But in low snow, it involves a difficult exit with either some airtime or a technical traverse out. If you’re feeling good, go fast and take flight, and prepare for a hot outrun. If you’re not feeling like pushing your limits, take it slower and keep your feet on the ground. You may even decide to head south, back to the Apron traverse, and get an easier run in. This virture has a variety of options, and when you’re feeling good and the conditions are prime, offers opportunity to take it up a notch. And with that kind of mentality, you might find yourself standing on top of the Fourth Virtue.
The state of the soul unfazed by fear. The Fourth Virtue is the most difficult and committing of the four chutes. After passing the Third, stay high on a spine of snow till you come to an extremely exposed position with a spectacular view to the north. At this point, there is no backing out. The rock walls on either side provide a singular steep and narrow path for your skis with only one option: speed.
Skiing this chute requires a great deal of courage.
As I step onto the top of the ridge blanketed with a few inches of new snow, many others are gearing up anxiously. Taking a deep breath of cold, crisp air, my ego calms and my anxiety resides. I slow down. The snow-covered ridge shimmers and sparkles against the blue bird sky. I click into my skis, preparing to fully immerse myself in the next run. Maybe thinking about the four cardinal virtues will help. Maybe skiing one of them will help. Maybe my mind has wandered too far. Maybe it’s time to just go skiing and have fun. | <urn:uuid:6675255f-d1ea-46ad-9103-180642090017> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://outsidebozeman.com/activities/skiing/alpine-skiing/i-ski-therefore-i-am | 2024-04-18T07:48:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.943307 | 1,159 |

Cooper, a junior, capped a spectacular junior year by finishing second at the ASC championships and 14th at the NCAA III South/Southeast regional.

For his performance, he was named to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Region Team.

multiple endocrine neoplasia type I
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1), also known as Wermer syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic disease that results in proliferative lesions in multiple endocrine organs, particularly the pituitary gland, islet cells of the pancreas and parathyroid glands.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is the commonest presentation, followed by pancreatic islet cell tumor with associated hypersecretion syndromes; gastrinomas are most common and associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome .
The abnormality is related to a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 11q13. MEN type I is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by :
- pituitary adenomas
- prolactinoma (most common)
- 30% of patients
- islet cell tumors of the pancreas
- proliferative parathyroid gland lesions
Handy mnemonics for recalling MEN type I:
- PPP or PiParPanc
In addition to the aforementioned characteristic lesions involving the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas, numerous other lesions are encountered with greater frequency in patients with MEN1. These include:
- adrenal cortical lesions
- carcinoid tumors
- hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia
Treatment and prognosis
Treatment is directed to each individual manifestation. These are therefore discussed separately.
Pancreatic malignancy is the leading cause of mortality in MEN type I.
History and etymology
MEN1 was first characterized by P Wermer et al. in 1954 .
- MEN1 (Wermer syndrome)
- Carney complex
- primärer Hyperparathyreoidismus
- MEN IIa
- MEN IIb

Honestly, I wasn't impressed. It seems like Mr. Patterson picked a bunch of crazy things to throw together with this latest story starring the Womens' Murder Club.
Although the mystery of who killed Michael Campion was interesting, the whole Yuki/Twilly event was just plain stupid.
Overall, another quick read that will only take you a day or so, but it's not as good as the previous books in the series.
As always, this book by Patterson was a page-turner, but some of the plot lines seemed rather ludicrous, as if Patterson is running out of material or forcing out books faster than good ideas come to him.
Yay! After 2 "eh" books in the murder mystery series, this one seemed to be a little more back to what I liked about the first ones. I still wish it was more of the women doing the solving than mostly Boxer, but I'll take it. Looks like #8 comes out next year, I'm really looking forward to it!
"7th Heaven" is good, quick reading. It had some flaws but overall, it was an enjoyable book, right in line with the quality you'd expect from Patterson. Add this one to your shelf!
Another good read in the Women's Murder Club. This one had three storie lines intertwined -- fire-based murders, a missing sick young man, and the court drama. Yuki, the young lawyer, shared the spot light with Lindsey for this story. And again an unexpected twist at the end. I did feel the the other characters in the 'Club' were tossed in and their events did not really fit into the overall story line -- kind of an after thought to make sure they were included and not forgotten. If you have stuck with the Club this long you will enjoy this book. I look forward to the next one too. | <urn:uuid:840b4ac4-0b11-4ecf-b421-893c49741985> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://paperbackswap.com/7th-Heaven-Womens-Murder-Club/book/0316017701/ | 2024-04-18T07:53:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.985994 | 383 |
Brad Thor (born 1969) is a thriller novelist who is the author of The Lions of Lucerne, Path of the Assassin, State of the Union, Blowback, Takedown, The First Commandment, The Last Patriot, The Apostle, Foreign Influence, and The Athena Project (November 2010). His novels have been published in countries around the world. He also contributed a short story entitled "The Athens Solution" to the James Patterson-edited anthology, Thriller. His books have been number-one New York Times bestsellers.
Thor's novel The Last Patriot was banned in Saudi Arabia and was nominated for Best Thriller of the Year by the International Thriller Writers Association. His novel Blowback was voted by National Public Radio listeners as one of the "100 Best Ever" Killer Thrillers.
Thor is a graduate of the Sacred Heart Schools, the Francis W. Parker School , and the University of Southern California (cum laude), where he studied creative writing under author T.C. Boyle.
Prior to becoming a novelist, he was the award-winning creator, producer, writer, and host of the national public television series Traveling Lite.
Thor is a member of The Heritage Foundation and has spoken at their national headquarters on the need for robust missile defense. Thor has served as a member of the United States Department of Homeland Security's Analytic Red Cell Unit, is a Fellow of the Alexandrian Defense Group, and is a frequent television and cable news commentator.
In 2008, Thor shadowed a Black Ops team in Afghanistan to conduct research for his thriller, The Apostle.
Thor is a regular contributor to the Glenn Beck program and has appeared on other FOX News Channel shows, as well as on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and PBS to discuss terrorism and parallels between his novels and real threats facing the world today.
On June 17, 2009, Thor hosted a one-hour "Insider Special" for Beck's radio show. He also blogs for Andrew Breitbart's site BigJournalism.com.
Because of the content of Thor's thriller The Last Patriot, Beck predicted he might be assassinated by Muslim extremists. Thor has been referred to by WorldNetDaily as "the new Salman Rushdie.
Robert D. Crane, a Muslim convert and one-time aide to Richard Nixon, called the novel, "Islamophobia," "a subliminal mimetic," and an "emotional demonization of Islam and Muslims." In response, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer rebutted Crane's article.
In January 2010, Thor reported about an alleged murder and related pornography ring in Pakistan and Afghanistan run by the Taliban's Haqqani network. Through his sources, he secured a video purportedly showing the forced sexual assault of young Pashtun women by members of the Haqqani family. Thor claimed the alleged pornography ring was centered around Sirajuddin Haqqani's doctor, Hassan Duraz, who was reportedly sent throughout the AfPak theater to offer medical care to villages willing to contribute young Muslim men to fight for the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Duraz was accompanied on these trips by Siraj Haqqani's uncle Ibrahim and Haqqani's cousin Ishak.
When word of the Haqqani pornography ring leaked, Siraj Haqqani allegedly had his doctor killed, as well as the girls who had been raped and sexually assaulted in the videos. He purportedly also attempted to destroy all of the remaining evidence, but several of the tapes were said to have been salvaged and smuggled out by mid-level Taliban commanders disenchanted with the Haqqani family.
The Haqqani network is known as the "backbone" of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and have been responsible for many of the deadliest and most audacious attacks in the region, including the Camp Chapman attack, the 2008 Kabul Serena Hotel attack, and the Kidnapping of David Rohde.
Thor's thriller The Apostle is based in part upon the Haqqani family and their terror network.
His novels have been published in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.

The Lions of Lucerne (2002)
On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the vacationing president of the United States kidnapped by one of the most lethal terrorist organizations in the Middle East...the Fatah Revolutionary Council. But surviving agent and ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath doesn't believe the Fatah Revolutionary Council is responsible for the attack. Driven by his professional code of duty and honor, Harvath creates his own rules to get some answers. But his search for the truth raises the blood pressure of his superiors...and casts his own life in mortal jeopardy. The deadly machinations have been set in motion by a shadowy coalition, comprising some of the highest-ranking officials in government and business...men who operate above the law, men who realize the threat Harvath poses to their hidden agenda...men who will do anything to stop him.
Path of the Assassin (2003)
In The Lions of Lucerne, Agent Scot Harvath made a vow to personally kill or capture all those involved with the president's kidnapping. As he prepares to close out his list, he has one final question: Who ambushed the American Special Forces team, code name "Rapid Return," in Syria? Only Gerhard Miner (the Lions' leader), awaiting trial in a maximum sercurity facility in Switzerland, knows for sure. Before Harvath can get to him, Miner is assassinated and a bloody trail of clues point toward the world's most feared terrorist.
As this man prepares an assassination plot to ignite a Muslim Holy War against America and her allies, Harvath and his team known as "Operation Phantom," are in a race against time to identify him and take him out before it's too late. Their only problem is...they have no idea what he looks like.
Left with no alternative, Harvath recruits and trains hijacking victim Meg Cassidy...the only person who can positively identify their quarry. In a dance with death that will take them through North Africa, Capri, Italy's Amalfi Coast and finally to Rome's Vatican City, Scot Harvath and Meg Cassidy must hammer into place the pieces of a puzzle that will test not only their ultimate physical and mental limits, but also the growing bond they feel for each other.
State of the Union (2004)
On a cold January morning, the United States awakes to discover that an old enemy, one long believed dead and buried, has crawled out of its grave to lay siege to the world's only superpower.
With the discovery that enhanced Soviet-made suitcase nukes have been secreted in America's major cities, President Jack Rutledge gathers his National Security Council to weigh the feasibility of a first strike against the Russian Federation. There's only one problem. For over two decades, the Russians have been funneling international aid money into a top secret air defense system, which has just been brought on-line and which will render any conventional attack upon their country utterly ineffective.
After exhausting all of his other options, and with Soviet sleeper agents preparing to detonate their deadly payloads across the United States, the president turns to the nation's final hope, ex-Navy SEAL and Secret Service Agent Scot Harvath.
Assigned to a covert section of the Department of Homeland Security and charged with defending the nation against all foreign aggressors by any means necessary, Harvath finds himself hand-picked by the president to unravel a brilliantly orchestrated, fiendishly timed conspiracy that has already shattered the fragile peace between the world's nations and which, if successful, will leave the United States in smoldering ruins.
With family friend and former Deputy FBI Director Gary Lawlor nowhere to be found and suspected of betraying his country, Harvath embarks on an adventure that will test the bonds of loyalty and reveal a nation's deepest secrets.
Scot Harvath's counterterrorism career has just crashed and burned...thanks in part to a ruthless senator with her sights set on the White House. But when the war on terror takes a chilling turn, the president has no choice but to secretly bring Harvath back inside. Deep beneath an Alpine glacier, an ancient weapon designed to decimate the Roman Empire has been unearthed...and a shadowy organization intends to use it for America's downfall. Racing across Europe, Harvath must secure the ultimate instrument of destruction before it brings the United States and the rest of the world to its knees.
July 4 weekend, New York City: As thousands of holiday travelers make their way out of Manhattan, a terrorist attack plunges the city into panic and death. Amidst the chaos, an elite team of foreign soldiers is systematically searching for one of their own, a man so powerful that the U.S. government refuses to admit he even exists and will do anything to keep him hidden. Now, with the world's deadliest enemy upon America's doorstep, counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath must fight his way through the burning city streets to take down an invisible terrorist mastermind with the means to unleash hell on a global scale.
The First Commandment (2007)
Six months ago: In the dead of the night, five of the most dangerous detainees in the war on terror are pulled from their isolation cells in Guantanamo Bay, held at gunpoint, and told to strip off their orange jumpsuits. Issued civilian clothes and driven to the base airfield, they are loaded aboard a Boeing 727 and set free.
Present day: Covert counterterrorism agent Scot Harvath awakens to discover that his world has changed violently...and forever. A sadistic assassin with a personal vendetta is wreaking havoc. Unleashing horrors on those closest to Harvath, the attacker thrusts everything Harvath holds dear...including his life...into peril.
Ordered by the president to stay out of the investigation, Harvath is forced to mount his own operation to uncover the conspiracy and to exact revenge. When he discovers a connection between the attacks and a group of prisoners secretly released from Guantanamo, Harvath must ask himself previously unthinkable questions about the organizations and the nation he has spent his life serving.
A renegade from his own government, Harvath will place his life on the line as his search for the truth draws him into a showdown with one of the most dangerous men on the face of the earth.
The Last Patriot (2008)
June 632 A.D.: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca, the prophet Mohammed shares with his closest companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he is assassinated.
September 1789: U.S. minister to France Thomas Jefferson, charged with forging a truce with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes a shocking discovery - one that could forever impact the world's relationship with Islam.
Present day: When a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian cafe, Navy Seal turned covert Homeland Security Operative Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind.
Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to an amazing and perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all without firing another shot, dropping another bomb, or launching another covert action. But there are powerful men who are determined that Mohammed's mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.
The Apostle (2009)
Every politician has a secret. And when the daughter of a politically connected family is kidnapped abroad, America's new president will agree to anything...even a deadly and ill-advised rescue plan...in order to keep his secret hidden.
But when covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath is assigned to infiltrate one of the world's most notorious prisons and free the man the kidnappers demand as ransom, he quickly learns that there is much more to the operation than anyone dares to admit.
As the subterfuge is laid bare, Harvath must examine his own career of ruthlessly hunting down and killing terrorists and decide if he has what it takes to help one of the world's worst go free.
Foreign Influence (2010)
Buried within the black ops budget of the Department of Defense, a new spy agency has been created. Unfettered by the oversight of self-serving politicians, it reports only to a secret panel of insiders. Its job is to target America's enemies...both foreign and domestic...under a charter of three simple words: Find, Fix, and Finish.
Recruited as a field operative, Scot Harvath has just returned from his first assignment abroad when a bombing in Rome kills a group of American college students. The evidence points to a dangerous colleague from Harvath's past, and Harvath is tasked with leveraging his relationship to lure the man out of hiding and destroy him. But what if he has the wrong man?
Simultaneously, a young woman is struck by a taxi in a hit-and-run in Chicago, and city police soon abandon their fruitless investigation. But when the family's attorney digs deeper, he uncovers a shocking connection to the Rome bombing and the perpetrators' plans for America. Tying together the disparate violence, Scot Harvath races to prevent one of the most audacious and unthinkable acts of terror in the history of mankind.
The Athena Project (2010)
Tucked away in a remote corner of North Carolina's Fort Bragg, behind rows of razor wire and heavily armed guards, lies the headquarters of the nation's most elite counter-terrorism unit - the United States Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. Here, a brilliant new approach to combating terrorism has just been born. Its codename: The Athena Project.
The novels will follow an elite team of female warriors from their recruitment as top-level athletes, through their training, to their deployment on dangerous international assignments. | <urn:uuid:88264b79-b12e-41f4-919a-2eb4ea775605> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://paperbackswap.com/Brad-Thor/author/ | 2024-04-18T07:36:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.955451 | 3,046 |
Unsupervised Band Selection of Hyperspectral Images via Multi-dictionary Sparse Representation
Hyperspectral images have far more spectral bands than ordinary multispectral images. Rich band information provides more favorable conditions for the tremendous applications. However, significant increase in the dimensionality of spectral bands may lead to the curse of dimensionality, especially for classification applications. Furthermore, there are a large amount of redundant information among the raw image cubes due to water absorptions, sensor noises and other influence factors. Band selection is a direct and effective method to remove redundant information and reduce the spectral dimension for decreasing computational complexity and avoiding the curse of dimensionality. In this paper, we present a novel learning framework for band selection based on the idea of sparse representation. More specifically, first each band is approximately represented by the linear combination of other bands, then the original band image can be represented by a multi-dictionary learning mechanism. As a result, a group of weights can be obtained by sparse optimization for all bands. Finally, the specific bands will be selected, if they get higher weights than other bands in the representation of the original image. Experimental results on three widely used hyperspectral datasets show that our proposed algorithm achieves better performance in hyperspectral image classification, when compared with other state-of-art band selection methods. | <urn:uuid:cd8eddd6-1030-4c99-b41b-cc8b75a0d9f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://paperswithcode.com/paper/unsupervised-band-selection-of-hyperspectral | 2024-04-18T06:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.908411 | 269 |

In an attempt to make the user experience safer and more enjoyable for audiences, YouTube has announced it will be adjusting how and where external links are displayed on the YouTube Shorts platform. These policy changes will impact both how creators interact with their viewers and direct them to their additional content, so let’s dive into what, exactly, YouTube Shorts creators need to know in order to be prepared for the shift.
What are YouTube Shorts?
YouTube Shorts are essentially YouTube’s take on TikTok—vertical videos under 60 seconds meant to engage viewers with short and sweet content. Like TikTok, this section of the platform also provides a vertical feed of videos for users to watch or scroll through for as long as they desire.
Unlike lengthier videos, YouTube Shorts are meant to be created with a smartphone and uploaded through the YouTube app. Editing clips together, adding audio and other enhancements, and writing out the details of the video are also all done in the app itself.
Shorts can live on their own channel, or be a part of an existing YouTube channel, and are partly meant to be a way to attract new viewers to a creator’s longer-form videos or other aspects of their online presence—which is why links are so important.
What is the new external linking policy for YouTube Shorts?
Recently, YouTube announced that it would be changing its external linking policy for YouTube Shorts.
This means that links will no longer be clickable in Shorts comments, descriptions, or the vertical live feed. Additionally, channel banners on the desktop version of YouTube will no longer display clickable social media icons.
“We don’t have any plans to make any other links unclickable,” YouTube said in a press release at the time the changes were announced. “We know that links are an important way for creators to share information and recommend products/brands to their communities, so we’re actively working on safer ways for creators to include important links in their content.”
So how can YouTube Shorts creators share links with viewers?
Creators will now be able to add up to 14 links on their channel pages, which will be easily viewable on both desktop and mobile. The first link will be prominently displayed, while viewers will be given the option to see the rest.
The types of links that qualify for these prominent spots include personal websites, social media profiles, and affiliate links. To see a partial list of websites that cannot be linked, such as porn sites or sites where users can pirate copyrighted material, you can check out YouTube’s Community Guidelines.
External links shared in long-form video comments and descriptions on YouTube will not be affected by these changes, and will still be clickable.
Why is YouTube’s linking policy changing?
The primary motivation for the change in policy is to make it more difficult for bad actors to spam users with links leading to “malware, phishing, or scam-related content.” Although the company does have an existing spam problem—as well as measures in place to combat that spam—they consider switching up on the external linking a preventative measure, “because abuse tactics evolve quickly.”
When do these changes go into effect?
The changes to YouTube Shorts’ external linking policy will take place on the following timeline:
- August 10, 2023: Desktop channel banners will no longer display links
- August 23, 2023: Up to 14 links of the creator’s choosing will be added to their channel page
- August 30, 2023: Links in Shorts comments, descriptions, and the vertical live feed will no longer be clickable—this change will roll out gradually over an unspecified amount of time
Additionally, YouTube has stated that they hope to have a “safer way for creators to direct viewers from Shorts to their other YouTube content” by the end of September. | <urn:uuid:c36a5da5-81c6-471c-9a51-7c7fa2b9be57> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://passionfru.it/youtube-shorts-linking-8042/ | 2024-04-18T08:12:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.943859 | 815 |
This is Passport
Texas Landowners learn how to manage their acreage by emulating wildlife biologists who keep the state’s Wildlife Management Areas in top form.
Wildlife biologists go out on the WMAs and they take a look at what we have; what the baseline is. And then they take a look at historically what has been there in terms of vegetation and wild animals. They’ll determine what it takes to restore that habitat, or to enhance that habitat.
Dennis Gissell is Wildlife Management Area facilities coordinator. Texas Wildlife Management Areas’ encompass about three-quarters of a million acres.
[The] largest WMA is in east Texas – the Sam Houston National Forest, which is actually a US Forest Service Property that we lease/license from them to manage. It’s over 160-thousand acres. The smallest is near Corpus Christi.
And that WMA is only 36 acres! The aim is to have WMAs for teaching and research in each of the state’s 10 ego-regions. Every one provides opportunities for discovery and learning, even when they are small.
These smaller tracts of land have really unique features. In this case – this particular property – has a wetland and a pond that has historically, been very attractive to waterfowl.
Find more information about WMAs on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website.
The Wildlife restoration program supports our series and helps to fund the management of Texas’ 50 Wildlife Management Areas.

What is the tax treatment of legal settlements? Exercises by the Supreme Court of India Exercises held by the National Investigation Bureau of India The Supreme Court of India has given this speech. A: A case has been raised in the Indian State for fixing the threshold that is required for a person to be able to recover from a person due to his illegal activity is that of habeas corpus. Many lawyers in the state of Uttar Pradesh argue with the states in the habeas corpus on this theory. Mumbai only accepts it since In the words of the chief magistrate, if the habeas corpus were available as the principle means of recovering from a person in his absence, the criminal person is entitled to an award of $500. The law of the state of Maharashtra (a state in Maharashtra with many of the lowest barristers) said there is a fair compensation to be paid to the user. In Maharashtra, the statutory requirement is to be met, and that person is therefore entitled to an award of $500. The relevant sections of the same Act do not have a relevant clause. The only clauses in the statute which might mean that any person should be entitled to an award of less than $500 a person is that of the “habeas corpus”. However, the main clause of the Act says that the person cannot recover any charge other than that which had been sought in the judge. It says that if the person is provided an award of $500 be given, if the amount charged has not been fixed, and there are other reasons for not charging any charge, that person shall be allowed to recover at the rate of the lower limit. Which is the only circumstance in which the person can recover. However, not all sections are framed as covering habeas corpus The apex court of India, following various cases it has established that habeas corpus is an open ground for raising the issue of the rate. So the question is whether the scope of the scope of the habeas corpus suits suits can provide for fixing the threshold to which a person can recover from a why not try these out due to his illegal activity. You should not take the case of the case of an elected member of Parliament who is charged with a crime when performing his duties under Council Law. One of the things you may click here for info seen for this is that individuals are charged for serving click party by means of the Election Code. If they are charged for the act, they should be entitled to recover the amount of two years’ imprisonment.

The fact that either one is paid within the two years(DAR) or elseWhat is the tax treatment of legal settlements? I believe it to be the simplest answer. The first settlement is a lawless one. But the settlement to the federal tax on all settlements has consequences in other areas as well.

In addition, the settlement then does to the state as well. New investors get more cash per year and expect to rise as tax funds and then adjust the rate to capture and pay the old law of settlement. If you have any tax issue or interest problem, feel free to call or text [at] nc3. The settlement settlement of 2018 is the lawless one. For the rest of the year, there are (presumably) small settlement issues but one would expect one to have a larger settlement? I see the answer on this at the IRS website However, many people start to believe that the settlement settlement of 2018 is the lawless one and is true for the rest of the year. This settlement occurs over multiple years and lots of different tax issues have serious accounting issues. If you have a federal tax issue, you need to make sure that you maintain a reasonable assumption of just how much you have for each settlement. Many of the high-profile tax issues are related to capital gains + taxes on shares. (An asset class that is classified as private) There are lots of ways to manage your tax and management expenses. Here are a few. Recess. A settlement settlement typically isn’t reflected in our weekly reports. Not only does it not do business logic, but it also doesn’t prevent your business from working.

If you have any investment or annuity issues, please call or text [at] nc3. Unless at the most basic the tax liability of cases like tax time on capital gains and tax decisionsWhat is the tax treatment of legal settlements? After all the years and dollars that have been spent on covering litigation for legal services in previous years—your time, or your fortune—you are usually paid for and put in a legal settlement. You can earn up to $30,000 a year in legal fees that you’ll get $30 a year of a couple hundred dollars per month, or if you look at the legal services tax liability that’s created by the settlement you’ll have to pay, much more often than the money you earned in legal fees. The most common legal settlement types are the legal settlement settlement, which is usually a unit of the social act. These disputes are defined as any settlement that is made with the personal representative of the plaintiff.

Typically, no matter how good the lawyer for the plaintiff might be, he or she will not have their settlement. In most cases, the settlement terms are not very important for the plaintiff in his or her case. Many just because the plaintiff has never been charged attorney’s fees, they will just not save or satisfy the judgment. Most people expect a settlement to happen, however, because lawyers can’t promise to compensate the plaintiff for legal fees. They will have to deal with the plaintiff without the possibility of payment. If they do not, or if a plaintiff decides it wasn’t worth your money with no money in their pocket, you will be required to pay for all the legal fees the lawyer has to pay them. If you choose to enter an settlement, you’re still required to pay the legal costs of defending the case. All of the personal fees that have been placed on the case will be paid by a collection agency and will be used to defend the plaintiff. This way of holding the entire case together, and that includes the legal fees known as attorney’s fees is what will keep you, the lawyer, and all of your lawyer friends together happy. If you are fighting someone else’s case, you have to pay the attorney’s fees as well. It is a time to use your money and get the lawyer appointed, so that when you may have to defend what is an accident or a legal issue, you have the first shot. However, many people who believe their cases will not allow a party to try their case can help you understand a little better how it treats the relationship between you and your lawyer. THEN SPEECH As you realize your actions are not what you intended those actions to be your intent should they go into the court documents, as that is something you and your lawyer chose to do. When you see the files you believe you have sealed, it is usually because of the legal settlement business. In many cases the court file is also sealed, making it possible to a much smaller group of cases, which is the main reason that for many people this kind of sealed file is an emergency. Once you have successfully litigated the claims, you will find yourself in good standing and working together to finish the litigation.

It is with much sadness that the management and staff of PBI announce the passing of Susan Chortyk. Susan’s courageous battle with cancer came to an end on November 24, 2022.
In 2008, Susan founded PBI Actuarial Consultants along with Tony Williams and Neil Ramsden and was instrumental in ensuring that our clients made the transition over to PBI. When it came to her clients, Susan was renowned for her meticulous attention to detail and sound, thoughtful consulting advice.
This same thoughtfulness extended to all of those who worked with her. For some, she was a friend. For others, a mentor and role model – especially to the countless female actuaries who followed in her footsteps. Even those who did not work directly with her benefitted from her counsel and her ability to delve to the core of any issue and provide advice which was sound and, at times, profound.
As a mentor, Susan was demanding and set her expectations for each of us through the way she carried out her day-to-day professional life – with integrity, tenacity, and hard work. She often believed in many of us more than we believed in ourselves and did everything that she could to ensure that we realized that potential.
Susan’s generosity of spirit knew no bounds. She understood the value of the small things – from always having a bowl of candy on her desk to supporting everyone’s raffles and cookie sale campaigns, she knew that little gestures of kindness could warm the heart for days. She understood that each of us was a real person with our own real stories to tell and would always take the time to listen to those stories with kindness and a smile.
Susan’s kindness, humour, and thoughtful approach to all of her interactions are what made her the heart and soul of PBI. It is that same kindness, humour, and thoughtfulness that fill our hearts today and will no doubt do so as we remember her in the years to come.
Thank you, Susan, from all of us | <urn:uuid:ebd5b0d8-0556-403a-99d1-805c494e8234> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pbiactuarial.ca/susan-chortyk/ | 2024-04-18T08:48:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.979232 | 414 |

I wanna give a huge shoutout to David for always welcoming my SEO-related questions with such patience and kindness, and being so prompt and informative when getting back to me.
I had no doubt that they would do a great job, but they went above and beyond my expectations.
Choosing them has been essential to boosting my confidence and giving me peace of mind that I am setting my business up for great things and reaching my goals.
I could go on about how grateful I am that I found them, but you’ll just have to see how awesome they are for yourself!
I worked with Pepperstorm Media twice and it was THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! The first time they did the SEO Audit on my website.
Yes, it was pricey comparing to the first one I had made on my website (I had a bad experience with that one) but the work with Dave and his team was AMAZING and worth every penny I spent!!!
I got my SEO audit done after two weeks, I was informed about every step and got a report after that. A year after I asked Dave’s team to do rebranding, writing new copy, another SEO Audit (only what was necessary as the SEO audit from the previous time is working perfectly sending my website to the first pages of Google search).
And I am amazed again! I knew what are the steps, what will be done next, all steps were discussed with me and I love the final product!
I cannot thank the team at Pepperstorm enough! They saw what I was struggling with, listened to what I was looking for and DELIVERED TENFOLD!
I am so happy I found them & cannot wait to tell everyone about them.
They helped me so much with my SEO on my website that I am seeing an increase in inquiries along with a higher ranking on google searches.
I cannot wait to work with them more in the future on my blog posts! Thank you Pepperstorm!
Plenty more where that came from…

Whether it was caused by tension from sitting at a desk all day, an injury that occurred from an accident or fall, or an underlying medical condition, most of us have experienced back pain. In fact, nearly 100% of the population will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. For some, this pain will be acute, while others will experience chronic back pain that lasts for months.
Regardless of the root cause of your back pain, it can be difficult to decide which type of doctor you should visit for treatment. If you’ve already visited your primary care doctor, and still haven’t found relief, then you may be wondering about your next steps. In this article, we’ll dive deeper into some of your treatment options and help you determine the best option for relief.
Doctor vs. Chiropractor: Who Should I See For Back Pain?
Traditionally, most people dealing with back pain are advised to seek initial treatment from their family doctor or a primary care physician. In most cases, your doctor will prescribe muscle relaxers or prescription pain medications. While these treatment options can provide you with temporary pain relief, they do little to treat the actual cause of your back pain. There’s also a risk of becoming dependent on certain medications.
When Medications Don’t Work
If medications don’t work for managing your back pain, then your doctor may refer you to either a physical therapist or an orthopedic surgeon. Some studies suggest that physical therapy works best as a supplement to other treatment options. On its own, however, it often falls short of eliminating pain or improving mobility. And, orthopedic surgery often causes adverse effects that may make your back pain even worse.
Visiting a Chiropractor
Another popular option for back pain treatment is visiting a chiropractor. Many patients who suffer from back pain turn to chiropractors as a last resort after other treatment options have failed. They usually employ non-invasive treatment methods such as spinal manipulation, high-velocity low amplitude thrusts, and table adjustments. They may also suggest dietary or lifestyle changes to manage your pain.
While in many cases, these treatment options are more effective than prescription medications and less risky than surgical procedures, chiropractic care alone can fall short in other areas. This type of treatment is wonderful if an injury or spinal misalignment is the root cause of your pain, but you may still require further treatment if any underlying conditions exist.
The Truth About Back Pain
The truth is that back pain is a complex health issue. Because each patient’s condition is different, there’s no straightforward approach to treating back pain. You may require diagnostic testing and treatment from a variety of healthcare professionals to identify and treat the root cause of your condition. That’s why multi-disciplinary practices are the best option for thorough treatment.
Multi-disciplinary Practices: The Best of All Worlds
When you visit a multi-disciplinary practice with an integrated medical department, you’ll receive collaborative, non-invasive treatment from a team of orthopedic specialists which includes MDs, DOs, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other specialists. A study conducted by Cochrane found evidence that multi-disciplinary treatment provides more relief than traditional treatment options as well as those that focus on physical factors alone.
A Variety of Practitioners in one Convenient Location
A multi-disciplinary team of doctors continuously communicates about your progress and refers you to one another for each step of the treatment process. At a multi-disciplinary treatment center, you’ll have access to a variety of practitioners in one convenient location including:
- Chiropractors for physical adjustments
- Medical doctors to prescribe medications and injections as needed
- Physical therapists to aid in injury recovery
- Acupuncturists to improve bodily functions and stimulate self-healing
You’ll basically have everything you need in one convenient location. As a result, you’ll save time and money by eliminating the need to travel to multiple offices. You also won’t have to worry about repeatedly explaining your symptoms and condition to each additional physician. All in all, this is the most cost-effective and efficient treatment option.
Primary Spine Practitioners
Multi-disciplinary care centers have given rise to a new healthcare credential–the primary spine practitioner. Also known as primary spine physicians, PSPs diagnose and treat spine-related conditions. They’re a great first option for non-invasive back pain treatment.
Primary spine practitioners favor a minimalistic, non-invasive approach to treatment. Treatment from a PSP can provide a variety of benefits including:
- Faster recovery
- Increased mobility
- Lower medical costs
- True, long-lasting relief (reducing your chances of becoming a “chronic pain sufferer”) | <urn:uuid:04f86ecf-700a-42f8-bc86-41f2a7039b06> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://performancerehabnj.com/should-i-see-a-doctor-or-chiropractor-for-back-pain/ | 2024-04-18T08:17:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.937459 | 999 |
A slot is a narrow opening or groove, such as a keyway in machinery or a slit for a coin in a vending machine. It can also refer to a position in a group, series or sequence. For example, a slot in a calendar may be reserved for an event or meeting. The term can also refer to a specific time period, such as when an employee is scheduled to be on duty.
Often, when a slot is filled with passengers, a flight can experience delays and fuel burn due to congestion. This is an issue for airlines and passengers alike, and many companies have implemented flow management to reduce the impact of these delays on their operations. Flow management involves scheduling the movement of passenger traffic in order to avoid bottlenecks and maximize efficiency. It is important for all parties involved to be aware of the current and projected capacity of each slot, as this will determine the type of flow management strategy that will be used.
Slot is a casino game based on a set of reels that spin when a button is pressed. The reels contain symbols that match a payline, and winnings are awarded when the matching symbols appear on the win line. Modern slot machines use microprocessors to assign different probability values to each symbol on the multiple reels. This makes it appear as though a particular symbol is more likely to land on the win line, when in reality that is not the case.
The controls in a slot game are fairly simple, and players can easily learn how to play the game by reading instructions or watching videos. Once the player understands how to play, they can choose their bet size and then click the spin button. Some slots have a jackpot, which can be won by a lucky player. A slot is a popular choice for people who want to gamble online, but it is important to know how the games work before you begin playing them.
In computerized slot machines, the symbols on a win line can run up, down, sideways or diagonally. When the symbols match, the player wins credits based on the amount wagered. Some slots have a progressive jackpot, which increases with each wager made.
Before a player begins playing a slot, they must read the paytable to find out what kind of symbols are available and what winning combinations are possible. The paytable should also explain how to activate bonus rounds and other special features. Lastly, the paytable should list the game’s RTP (return to player percentage) and payout rates. In addition to these basic rules, players should also consider the theme of the slot and its graphics and sound effects. This information can be found on websites that specialize in slot reviews. It is important to use more than one review source, because some information can become outdated quickly. A good slot review will be clear and free of errors, as this will help build a reader’s trust. | <urn:uuid:f5b6856b-4fba-4498-ba6a-9aca3a1d472b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pesta-pernikahan.com/what-is-a-slot-108/ | 2024-04-18T07:01:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.960802 | 587 |

NEW YORK – Lil Wayne is facing the music after being accused of breaking jail rules by having gear for listening to tunes: He can expect to go solo for the rest of his time behind bars in a gun case.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper was moved Monday into what city jail officials call “punitive segregation” for a month, until his expected November release date, Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello said. It’s his punishment for stashing a charger and headphones for a digital music player in his cell earlier this year, officials said.
Lil Wayne generally will now be confined to his new cell 23 hours a day, with such exceptions as visits and showers, instead of being allowed to mingle with other inmates most of the day. He’ll eat in his cell and won’t get to socialize even during his hour a day of recreation, Morello said.
Lil Wayne also will have to forego TV, and he’ll be limited to one phone call a week instead of a chat a day or more, except for calls to his lawyer, Morello said.
The lawyer, Stacey Richman, had no immediate comment.
The 28-year-old rapper, one of the genre’s biggest stars, has been held since March in the Rikers Island jail complex. He pleaded guilty in October 2009 to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, admitting he had a loaded semiautomatic gun on his bus in 2007.
He got a one-year sentence but is expected to serve eight months because of time off for good behavior, despite the music-player gear episode.
Officials said the headphones and charger were found in May, tucked in a potato chip bag in a garbage can in the rapper’s cell.
The items are considered contraband, as inmates can listen to music only on radios and headphones sold at the jail commissary. Officers said the music player itself turned up in another inmate’s nearby cell.
Both men were charged with infractions that weren’t crimes and were subject to a jail disciplinary process, not a court. Information on the other inmate’s punishment wasn’t immediately available Monday.
Lil Wayne’s penalty was within norms for his infraction, Morello said.
“Possession of contraband is serious,” he said, though not as grave as violent offenses or being caught with a weapon, for example.
Born Dwayne Carter, Lil Wayne had the best-selling album of 2008 with “Tha Carter III,” which won a best rap album Grammy.
As he faced incarceration, he told Rolling Stone he planned to keep up the beat behind bars.
“I’ll have an iPod, and I’ll make sure they keep sending me beats,” he told the magazine for a February story. | <urn:uuid:38c6faf3-d64f-4b61-8201-995956c8ce66> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://philasun.com/entertainment/lil-wayne-goes-solo-in-ny-jail-solitary-punishment/ | 2024-04-18T08:19:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.983933 | 602 |

Soundiron Ambius Prime
Atmospheric Virtual Instrument Library for Kontakt Player
Ambius Prime is a unique and powerful compendium of our Ambius atmospheric synthesis series, offering a vast selection of hand-crafted sound-designed pads, ambiences, leads, pulses, and acoustic textures.
Each sound has been carefully sculpted from organic source recordings by our creative team. We've captured a wide spectrum of instruments, voices, environments, and objects to create thousands of distinctly compelling and nuanced sonic flavors.
Everything you hear was built using only organic field and instrument recordings.
In fact, no synthesizers were used to create this library at all.
And with the sophisticated Ouroboros modulation engine, you can weave sources together into stunningly dynamic, flexible, and inspiring synth patches for any style or genre.
Dive in and tweak and automate every parameter with total control over every detail, or just hit the Random button to instantly generate an infinite variety of new sound, parameter, and dynamic modulator combinations.
Ambius Prime has been built from the ground up for the free Kontakt Player (VST, AU, AAX) and Komplete Kontrol, including full support for all Native Instruments S-Series keyboards.
It includes all of the content from Ambius 1: Transmissions and Ambius 2 Systematik, as well as the exclusive new Ambius 3: Expanse, a huge selection of over 1000 brand new sound sources that are only available here in Ambius Prime.
It's the perfect atmospheric texture farm for film and game composers and sound designers and an extraordinarily powerful synthesis engine for electronic music producers and synth junkies.
Ambius 1 - Transmissions
In this first volume of our Ambius series, we focus on the dark, the cryptic and the subliminal.
You will marvel in the sweeping glory of infinite choruses and spin endlessly soaring melodies from our cluster bells.
Yo'’ll scour archives of unholy EVP recordings, witness unholy medical procedures, be torn by savage terror winds, and devoured by digital worms seething in primordial pools of corrupted logic.
Category banks include EVP, Industrium, Panorganic, Rictus, Root Canal, Swarming, Winds, Parachestral, Re-choral, Transmusical, Dig and Tuned and each bank includes a wide variety of unique sound sources.
Ambius 2 - Systematik
This second volume explores a range of tuned percussive sounds and transient attacks on layers 1 and 2, with a broad collection of tonal pads, sustains and drones on layers 3 and 4 that are designed to blend well to create new and unique instrument and synth lead concepts.
It allows you to blur the line between lead and ambient textures and easily morph between tight stabs and dreamy pads.
We've created a deep pool of elements to choose from and shape, with a wide palette of sonic flavors ranging from fat lo-fi leads to crisp, complex hi-fi soundscapes, all sourced from live acoustic instruments.
Ambius 3 - Expanse
The third volume in the Ambius series is only available as part of Ambius Prime.
These sounds push the envelope farther, with more rhythmic elements, harder-driving lead patches, wider textural variety and deeper sonic evolutions.
Expanse also features outstanding guest sound design and presets by Spencer Nunamaker (Juno VHS), Kevin Alves, Nathan Boler, Paul Amos, Marie-Anne Fischer, Dominik Spychalski, Ben Rabenold and Mike Marino.

On October 17, 2017, Jeremiah Duncan (PSU-AAUP President), Scott Coykendall (PSU-AAUP Lead Negotiator), and Cathie LeBlanc (PSU-AAUP Communication Chair) met with President Birx at his request. The President had originally requested a meeting with Jeremiah and later invited Scott. In discussing this, the PSU-AAUP Executive Committee decided that Cathie should also attend as Communication Chair. The only thing we knew about the motivation for the meeting was that the President wanted to discuss “union negotiations.” In retrospect, it seems likely the meeting was prompted by either or both the negotiating team’s opening statement at the October 5 negotiating session and the flyers about the leadership roles that PSU-AAUP members have taken in the cluster initiative, which we distributed at the October faculty meeting and sent to the Board of Trustees.
The President opened the meeting with a long statement that ranged from “union outsiders” stirring people up about the administration placing post-tenure review on the table during negotiations to the status of the various institutions within the USNH system. His main thrust seemed to be wanting us to understand that he agrees in principle with the sentiments expressed in the negotiating team’s opening statement at the October 5 negotiating session, and especially with the idea of shared governance.
Much of the discussion from that point focused on shared governance, about which President Birx made two particularly noteworthy statements. First, he stated that our current governance structure seems to focus on review and enforcement of policy rather than being “innovative and forward-thinking.” Second, that at the 4 or 5 institutions where he has been, he has never seen “true shared governance.”
The PSU-AAUP team pushed back on that characterization of governance as not innovative, pointing out the efforts of Curriculum Committee and others to invent creative new ways to advance the cluster initiative. We also noted that our governance system can be creative when it is asked to do so, such as through task forces. President Birx seemed to agree that he could do a better job of working with our governance system to request faculty to develop creative, innovative solutions to our university’s problems.
We took the opportunity of this discussion to express our concerns about his comments at faculty meetings and on Yammer that faculty (through their insistence on using faculty governance channels for new initiatives) act as an impediment to forward progress on the cluster initiative. We stated that faculty are the long-term stewards of the University and that the cluster initiative will succeed only because PSU-AAUP members are taking on these leadership roles. Further, the only way we can be effective in these efforts is if we are aware of what is happening and are involved throughout the entire process.
We used the Summer Pathways program as an example, pointing out that we have a long history at PSU of developing outstanding programs for small groups of students that do not get integrated into the fabric of what we do as an institution. When the person or small groups of people in charge of such initiatives move on to other projects, these programs die. The faculty in general still have no idea of the curriculum used in the Pathways program. First Year Seminar Fellows have no idea whether any of the students in their classes were part of the program. It seems like a wasted opportunity to have not had these conversations. This, we said, is why we were insistent that it was a problem that faculty governance was by-passed during the development of the program. We cannot collaborate on initiatives that we do not even know about.
The President seemed to understand this concern and agree that communication about such initiatives is critical to their long-term, broad-based success.
We also took the opportunity to bring up the Shared Governance article proposed by our negotiating team, which the administration has subsequently refused to discuss. We noted that the ball is in their court, and it would be a very symbolic and meaningful gesture for the administration to reopen the discussion with a counter proposal. He seemed to take this into consideration, but did not indicate whether he would ask the administrative negotiating team to do so.
At this point, with particular regard to his second comment on “true shared governance,” we asked the president to articulate, perhaps though a blog post, his vision of what a strong, forward-thinking, true shared governance structure would look like, and to challenge the faculty to modify our governance structure to implement his vision. We believe he has agreed to take on this challenge.
The meeting was collegial yet frank. We are cautiously optimistic that he has understood our concerns about his rhetoric on the role of faculty in moving the cluster initiative forward. We are also cautiously optimistic that he has a new understanding of why Shared Governance is of such importance to us in negotiations. | <urn:uuid:1ec475de-5237-46fb-91d0-f46d9491aec9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://plymouth-aaup.org/president/october-17-meeting-with-president-birx/ | 2024-04-18T08:02:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.98149 | 990 |
Fire breaking out in printing press plants as a result of ESD (electrostatic discharge) is rare, but the threat is very real.
During periods of low humidity levels (well below 50%) ESD causes sparks and small fires in and around the ink pans of gravure printing presses. These sparks and fires if not detected or extinguished timeously could cause havoc with consequent loss of production time resulting.
The obvious solution is to stabilize the humidity inside printing press plants throughout the year to mitigate the threat. Easier said than done!
Gravure printing press plants require large volumes of air exchanges to dissipate heat as well as extract evaporated organic solvents. This mechanical process continuously introduces ‘fresh’ outside air into the plant thereby inhibiting effective humidity control measures.
Ikeuchi (Japan) overcame the foregoing challenge by introducing ‘spot’ humidification to make life far easier for gravure press printers. The process involves focusing a steady continuous stream of dry mist towards the ink pans of the gravure printing press’s ink pads without wetting the air utilizing Ikeuchi’s patented AKIMist technology.
In a published case study Ikeuchi reduced the ESD from 24kV down to 4kV – a remarkable technological achievement. A side benefit was also the improved quality of the final print as well as far fewer dust particles in the air resulting in a far improved final printed product.

It was seen at the DP protest, says Jorida Tabaku: I have invested in this party since I was 16 years old
Deputy Jorida Tabaku spoke after she was seen on Tuesday as a participant in the Democratic Party protest.
In an interview for Euronews Albania, she indicated that she is not positioned with any DP group, but that she is with the Democratic Party and the citizens.
" I am in DP. I don't have the luxury of some others who have come more easily than us and probably got into Parliament more easily than the rest of us. I have invested in this political force since I was 16 years old, I am connected to my family and I really believe in it. It was a privilege for me when I was elected deputy.
I don't know if I will ever repay the people who supported me, voted for me and entrusted me with this task. I hope to have as much time as possible to practice it.
I am and will be in PD. I have been, without any position, I am a deputy that I hope to be. Today people really need to hear what is going on with the laws. People write to me endlessly about fashions," said Tabaku. | <urn:uuid:140b4dd8-6d9a-4fca-892c-e9a066ab4db7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://politiko.al/english/ditari-i-opozites/u-pa-ne-protesten-e-pd-flet-jorida-tabaku-kam-investuar-qe-16--i502243 | 2024-04-18T07:40:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.988923 | 342 |

1. Microangiopathy affects the peritubular capillaries in experimental diabetes. Five to six months after streptozotocin administration to induce experimental diabetes in rats, a progressive increase of lymph flow and of the entry of albumin from the renal peritubular capillaries into the interstitium was seen.
2. Under these conditions, owing to the alteration of peritubular physical forces, the uptake of tubular reabsorbate into the capillaries can be impaired with potentially severe consequences in diabetic nephropathy. | <urn:uuid:d239c0dc-7726-4bf4-87bd-f3e48d71e4ef> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://portlandpress.com/clinsci/article-abstract/65/4/393/73329/Peritubular-Capillaries-of-the-Renal-Cortex-in?redirectedFrom=fulltext | 2024-04-18T08:17:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.869522 | 117 |

Jewelry is women’s best friends! If you agree with it then you might have a passion to purchase exclusive or custom made jewelry and flaunt them with your exclusive dresses. Today’s jewelers are smart enough to showcase ornaments of different varieties from sleek to heavy. Your collection must have a balanced compilation of both contemporary and traditional jewelry so that you’re always ready for any occasion.
While purchasing jewelry, focus on a few factors such as—
It’s perhaps human nature that they keep repeating the same thing that they like. Such habit is also visible during shopping anything. If you have an intricacy towards any particular jewelry design or material such as diamonds then try to avoid repetition. You might miss out on the new things that you can have in your jewelry collections!
If you already have a pair of diamond studs, then go for gemstone-studded danglers or chandelier earrings this time. If you already have gold or rose gold bracelets, you can try pearl bracelets for a change that you can pair up with your formals too. Make sure you have a pearl pendant or necklace to complete your look.
Focus on new jewelry designs
Explore the latest jewelry designs trending everywhere. Wear them and see if you look good in such pieces. If you like anything new and fresh to the eyes, then just go for it. Try new jewelry pieces for refreshing your fashion statement.
Even when you’ll wear them with your old outfits, you might have a feel-good factor added to your fervor. If wearing such jewelry pieces give you that joy, just go for it withstanding the societal stigmas of what is been built or designed for older and younger women.
Go for customizing jewelry
For a change, try customizing jewelry. You can use your old rings or earrings or any other ornament to redesign them by adding and altering them. Let the jeweler help you get a new necklace from the old jewelry. You can also place an order to build a bespoke bracelet or a new brooch with the help of the expert designers.
Shop online from a reputed brand
Think about purchasing unique gemstone engagement rings, and wedding jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, or earrings from the online store of any reputed brand. You should be skeptical about the jewelry brand. Try online shopping for exclusive jewelry pieces. You’ll not only enjoy the jaw-dropping collections that the web stores will showcase to you, but you can get attractive discounts while shopping online.
Enjoy the in-person sales assistant, happy to help you find the exact pieces of jewelry you want to have for any special occasion or personal collection.
Shop off-season to avail attractive discounts
To avail of additional discounts, you need to choose the off-season to purchase the jewelry. For personal use, if you’re visiting the apps or web stores to purchase rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. avoid the wedding season to get additional benefits.

A pastor and school caretaker, who lost his job for discouraging Christians from attending LGBTQ events is to have his legal case heard.
Pastor Keith Waters has launched legal action against the Active Learning Trust after a tweet he posted about believers not supporting pride events led him to be unemployed.
Waters took a part time position at the Isle of Ely Primary School, Cambridgeshire so he could pastor his local Evangelical Church, Ely New Connexions Church.
According to Christian Concern, the job was taken with the agreement that if there was a conflict with his role as a pastor, his pastoral duties would take priority, and that he would "be unequivocal in publicly stating the Christian doctrine on various issues, some of which may be unpopular."
In 2019 Waters posted the following tweet in response to an upcoming month of LGBTQ pride events:
"A reminder that Christians should not support or attend LGBTQ 'Pride Month' events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Christian faith and morals. They are especially harmful to children," he wrote.
Following his post, Waters claims he received a stream of threats intended to force him out of his job as a caretaker as various commentators accused him of attacking the local LGBTQ community.
His controversial tweet led to online and in person abuse, pressure from local councillors and a wave of media attention.
Intimidation continued as Waters' family was later visited by funeral directors sent to 'plan his funeral' as well as estate agents who had been informed they wished to move from the area.
An investigation was also launched against him by Ely Primary for bringing the school 'into disrepute', following a number of complaints from parents accusing him of 'extremism' and 'violence' towards Pride supporters.
The internal investigation concluded that Waters' tweet was 'highly inappropriate and offensive'. He was told he had brought the school into disrepute, broken the code of conduct and was issued with a final written warning.
Believing his roles of pastor and caretaker were now in direct conflict, Waters resigned from his janitor position.
His lawyers will argue the Isle of Ely primary school interfered with his rights to freedom of religion, expression and thought.
Waters claims he was shunned and avoided by senior management and prevented from carrying out some of his regular duties.
"In 37 years of employment, I had never been treated in such an uncaring and hostile way. I was left with the choice of resigning or being silenced and unable to express my beliefs as a Christian pastor," he said ahead of the hearing.
"Being given a final warning meant that I would not be able to do the things I do as a pastor, which is standing up for the truth of the Bible."
Waters will claim for constructive dismissal, indirect discrimination, and breach of public sector equality duty.
Andrea Williams, chief executive at Christian Concern says Waters has received "character assassination" for his Christian beliefs.
"We live in a world where even questioning the LGBTQ agenda can land you in serious trouble.
"Why should a Christian pastor not be able to speak out on such concerning issues without being threatened and losing his job?
"Keith's story is part of a cancel culture where issues, such as LGBTQ pride, cannot be questioned or critiqued without individuals being silenced, vilified or worse."
A spokesman for the Active Learning Trust, which runs the school, said "The trust and its schools value, appreciate and celebrate equality, multiculturalism and diversity in education.
"We were made aware of the social media posts from concerned parents in June 2019. These posts were investigated through the trust's standard HR procedures.
"We'd like to emphasise that Keith Waters resigned from his position with the school. While legal proceedings are ongoing it would not be appropriate for the Trust to comment further at this stage." | <urn:uuid:f91e4858-054c-45fd-9c15-ca38b566048f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://premierchristian.news/us/news/article/pastor-takes-legal-action-after-lgbtq-tweet-leads-to-job-loss | 2024-04-18T07:16:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.988537 | 792 |
What’s the Latest Development?
When Matthew Swyers started his Web-based law firm, he made his office space worker-friendly like Google, gave everyone benefits like Starbucks, created a collaborative environment like video game makers and fostered a culture of dedication like Zappos. But in his pursuits, Swyers found that his own best intentions kept getting in the way. He found that the more he reacted to changes occurring in the office, the less freely his business evolved. That’s when he learned to sit back, relax and let his employees take the reigns.
What’s the Big Idea?
Seeing the positive results created by standing back and trusting his employees, Swyers recalled four essential steps on his way to a happy and productive workplace: Know what kind of office you want to create, whether it is a dedicated one, an enjoyable place or a collaborative place; Spend a little extra time during the hiring process to bring people on board who share your vision for the future; Enable others to contribute to your positive vision with their own ideas; Finally, let go and let the business’ culture evolve organically.

Richard Anderson Harvill
Presidential Order: 14th President
When Richard Anderson Harvill came to Tucson in 1934 as an assistant professor of economics, he held a bachelor’s degree in economics from Mississippi State College, a master’s degree from Duke University and a doctorate from Northwestern University.
During World War II, Harvill worked with the Arizona Office of Price Administration in Phoenix and then returned to the University as dean of the Graduate College for a year before he became dean of the College of Liberal Arts. He was selected as the University of Arizona’s 14th president in 1951. His 20 years as head of the University resulted in growth and expansion in many areas. Nineteen buildings were built during his first decade as president, followed by an additional 26 buildings between 1961 and 1971.
During Harvill’s tenure, four new colleges were established at the University – the College of Nursing in 1956, the College of Medicine in 1961, the College of Architecture in 1964 and the College of Earth Sciences in 1971.
Enrollment, which stood at 5,700 in 1951, increased to over 26,500 by 1971. Faculty and staff increased from around 1,100 to nearly 8,600. When Harvill took office there was one vice president; when he left, there were five, plus a provost for academic affairs. KUAT, the UA Press, and the development of observatories atop Kitt Peak all came into being during his term.
Harvill presided over two major celebrations in University history – the University’s 75th anniversary in 1960 and the nationwide Land-Grant Centennial in 1962. His last official ceremony was commencement in 1971, at which he proudly awarded degrees to the College of Medicine’s first 29 medical doctors. Toward the end of his presidency, on the north side of campus near the old polo field, a teaching hospital was being built. Harvill would live to see it become University Medical Center.
Many of the programs that make the University a nationally recognized institution were established during Harvill’s presidency. The University’s annual summer school in Guadalajara, Mexico, the Environmental Research Laboratory, the College of Optical Sciences, the Office of Arid Lands Studies and the Water Resources Research Center all started during his administration. Additionally, it was during Harvill’s presidency that the University joined the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, better known as AURA.
After his retirement in 1971, Harvill was named President Emeritus and continued to live in Tucson. He died at University Medical Center at the age of 83 in November 1988. | <urn:uuid:33dd4ab3-0fc4-45f0-907d-b5a298e1eb2b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://president.arizona.edu/person/richard-anderson-harvill | 2024-04-18T08:32:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.981096 | 536 |
As a WordPress plugin, LearnDash can sometimes be a little daunting to get started with. Fear not! In this introductory guide we will show you exactly how to setup LearnDash allowing you to quickly launch your online course using this top rated LMS WordPress system.
LearnDash is described as ‘The #1 choice of Fortune 500 companies, major universities, training organizations, and entrepreneurs worldwide for creating (and selling) their online courses.’. It is frequently recognized as one of the premier LMS WordPress plugins available and is used by everyone from large businesses and universities right though to individual course creators who want to run their own eLearning course. With the recent release of LearnDash 3.0 it has definitely cemented its position as the ‘go to’ LMS plugin for WordPress.
Unlike some LMS plugins, there is no free version. If you’d like to build your eLearning course using LearnDash then you’ll need to purchase a licence from learndash.com. In the unlikely event that it doesn’t suit your needs then you’ll be able to get a refund within 30 days. There is also an online demo that allows you to road test the system before committing to a purchase.
Building an online course with LearnDash is a two-stage process. It’s important to remember that LearnDash isn’t a stand-alone LMS. Whilst it provides all the functions needed to build an eLearning course it needs to be paired with a WordPress website. It is this WordPress website that will provide the overall ‘home’ for your course. This will include the branding for your eLearning course, information on the course for potential students, a contact page and so on. In other words, you’ll need to build a ‘normal’ website for your eLearning business much as you would for any other business. Once this is setup you can then install the LearnDash plugin and begin setting up LearnDash.
So, the initial setup before you do anything else is to setup a WordPress website complete with hosting that is suitable for running LearnDash. Once this is done you’ll then be free to setup LearnDash and get onto the exiting bit… building your eLearning course!
Step One – Setup your WordPress Website
We’re not going to run through installing WordPress in this guide. Hopefully you’re using a host that makes spinning up a WordPress install nice and easy. As mentioned, you will definitely want to use a WordPress host that can handle LearnDash. By design, LearnDash is a resource intensive plugin and ‘cheap and cheerful’ hosting will be unlikely able to handle LearnDash reliably if you have multiple users accessing your course concurrently. If you are serious about running an eLearning business or are setting up an LMS for a University or other educational establishment then you will need to give proper consideration to your choice of WordPress host. Checkout this article ‘LearnDash Hosting – Pressidium Enterprise, the Perfect LMS Hosting Solution’ for more information.
Once you’ve got your WordPress install up and running we can dive into setting up your WordPress website that will be used to house your eLearning course.
Choosing a Theme
LearnDash works with most WordPress themes that are coded using WordPress standards. This is good news as it increases the design options available to you as well as meaning you could potentially add LearnDash to an existing WordPress website.
If you’re starting from scratch, then choose a theme that closely matches the style that suits your business (or educational establishment etc.). LearnDash recommend a few themes that they know work well with the plugin. If you’re short on time, LearnDash have teamed up with the designers of the Astra Theme, which is touted for its high performance and loading speed. They now offer a LearnDash specific template in their site starter library which is the one we’ll be using in this demo.
Let’s get going!
Step One: Setup your WordPress Website
Once you’ve purchased a copy of the LearnDash plugin, login at https://support.learndash.com/account
You’ll see the option to download both the plugin and a link to instructions for the Demo Site Template. Download the plugin and keep that to one side for later use.
Next, head to your WordPress install and login to wp-admin.
- Head to Appearance > Themes > Add New.
- In the search bar located top right, search for ‘Astra’.
- Install this free theme and activate it.
Once that’s done, you’ll now need to install LearnDash along with a couple of other items.
- Head to Plugins and then install LearnDash which you downloaded earlier from your LearnDash account.
- It’s also recommended that you install the LearnDash Course Grid Addon. You’ll need an active licence for this to work. It can be downloaded here.
- Finally install and activate the LearnDash WooCommerce integration (needed if you want to accept payments for your course). Download this from LearnDash here.
- You will also need to install the free WooCommerce plugin. Search for this in the plugin repository and install.
You should end up with a plugin page that looks like this:
Now this has been done the next step is to import the free Astra LearnDash theme which will give you a great headstart in building your website if you haven’t already got one.
- Head to the Appearance tab and click on ‘Astra Options’ in the menu. From within this you’ll see a tab that says ‘Starter Templates’. Click the prompt to activate the starter templates and then you’ll be taken to the Starter Templates page (now accessible via the Appearance menu). If you are asked which website builder you would like to use, you can choose any of the options that you wish. For example, if you’re used to using Elementor then go for that. In this example, we’ll use the default Gutenberg site builder.
- Search for ‘LearnDash’ and you’ll see a template called ‘LearnDash Academy’. Click ‘Import Complete Site’ and then wait whilst this is downloaded and setup. Note: this ONLY applies if you began with a blank site and want to use the Astra LearnDash theme as the design for your eLearning website!
- You’ll get notified when the site has been imported. With very little work on your part you’ll now have a fully designed eLearning website which you can now customize as you wish to meet your own branding and content needs.
It’s beyond the scope of this article to walk through the process required to alter the design of the site. The new Gutenberg editor is pretty intuitive and the Astra theme is robustly designed which makes life a lot easier when it comes to customization. If you don’t want to do much work on the design then simply changing the logo and the text would be enough to leave you with a great looking site from which you could launch your course.
Now the basic website is in place you can now start the fun stuff… setting up your LearnDash course!
Step 2 – Setup LearnDash
LearnDash is a well supported plugin and, beyond the info contained in this article, you’ll find plenty of help when it comes to setting up your LearnDash course either in their support centre or by watching the video tutorials that are provided. These can be accessed via the ‘LearnDash Bootcamp’ which is available by opening the LearnDash LMS menu now accessible from the wp-admin menu on the left hand side of your WordPress site.

The first step is to enter your licence key and email address. You can find your licence key from within the ‘My Account’ section in the LearnDash Dashboard.
Once you’ve entered that you can move onto the next steps of setting up LearnDash.
The first thing you’ll probably want to do when you have registered your LearnDash plugin is to head to the ‘Settings’ tab. This is the control centre of LearnDash and where you can configure everything form the colors used throughout your site to PayPal settings. You can even update your site logo here.
The ‘Custom Labels’ tab is one you might want to check out. We all have different ways of phrasing similar things and the Custom Labels section allows you to tweak how elements of your course are described. For example, the default label for Courses is ‘Courses’. You might however prefer ‘Lectures’. Update as you see fit to suit your specific needs.
Courses, Lessons, Topics & Quizzes Overview
We’re now ready to dive into actually creating your first course. Before we begin, let’s take a look at the terminology used in LearnDash and better understand how this relates in terms of course structure.
Courses: Courses are the ‘container’ that hold lessons, quizzes and topics. You may choose to only ever build one course that covers the subject you want to teach (for example ‘How to read music’). On the other hand you might want to create multiple courses. These multiple courses might cover different subject matter or perhaps just explore the same subject but in different levels of depth. Courses are also useful as you can choose to allow free access to one course whilst charging for access to another. Offering a free ‘teaser’ course is a great way to get people to initially sign up on your website and offers you the opportunity to demonstrate the quality of your course material without the prospective customer having to pay at the outset.
Lessons: Lessons are the place where you actually build your course content. This course content can comprise of a wide range of material including images, text, PDF files, audio files and video. You might have just one or two long lessons or may choose to have multiple lessons. These lessons are arranged within your course in a way that leads the student through each one until the course has been completed.
Topics: If your lessons are complex and contain a lot of content then you might want to break these down further by using Topics. Topics must be added to lessons (you can’t have a course that comprises entirely of topics). If adding another layer of hierarchy seems too complex then you could of course just sub divide your lessons using section headings.
Quizzes: Quizzes are a great way for you to check the understanding of your students in relation to the material that has been taught. In LearnDash 3.0 there are now lots of quiz variations that can be deployed including multiple choice quizzes, sorting question quizzes, free choice quizzes and more. Quizzes are typically placed at the end of lessons or at the end of a course.
Setting up a LearnDash Course
As discussed, Courses are the container which hold all of your lessons. It’s important to decide how you want to structure your overall eLearning experience before diving in with the actual course creation. For example, do you want multiple courses that cover a topic or perhaps one course with lots of lessons? Once you’ve decided on this it’s time to begin building.
To do this, head to the Courses tab that’s within the LearnDash sub menu in wp-admin. Click on ‘Add New’.
Enter the course name and then a course description. On the right hand side you’ll see various options, one of which is the ability to add course categories. In this example we have Free and Paid course categories.
With the initial course info set out you can now move to the course builder which is accessed via the menu at the top of the course page.
It’s within this section that you will now begin to add Lessons. For now though, click Publish/Update to save your Course and then click the ‘Back to Courses’ hyperlink in the top left of the screen.
Setting up a LearnDash Lesson
Lessons are where you will actually deliver your course content. Click on ‘Lessons’ in the LearnDash sub menu and then click ‘Add New’. A new post will open and it’s within this that you really can get started. It’s entirely up to you how many lessons you want to structure your course with and the content of each lesson is also entirely up to you. You can add as much text, video (embedded from a hosting service such as Wistia) and images as you need to deliver the information your students need.
There are a range of additional options that can be applied to each lesson via the Settings tab. These include things like a Forced Lesson Timer that stops a student moving to the next lesson until a certain period of time has elapsed. The LearnDash Knowledge Base offers a more complete description of these features.
Once you’ve created your lesson(s), make sure to publish/update these as you would any other WordPress post/page.
Setting up a LearnDash Quiz
As with Courses and Lessons, quizzes can be accessed via the sub menu in the LearnDash menu sidebar. Click on this to open the module and get started. You will want to first create the Questions for your quiz via the ‘Questions’ menu. You’ll need to decide on the question type (e.g. single choice, fill in the blank and so on) and this can be done via the sidebar menu.
Once you’ve got your questions you can build these into a quiz. Click on the Quizzes sub menu, click on ‘Add New’ and then enter some basic info on your quiz in the form of a title and description. Once you’ve done this click on the ‘Builder’ tab. Take a look at the next section in this introductory guide to see how the LearnDash builder works for quizzes and courses.
The LearnDash Builder
Now you have created the lessons and quiz questions that will populate your course it’s time to pull all of these into an overall course structure.
This is made easy by using the Course/Quiz builder than comes with LearnDash 3.0.
To begin, open up your course that was created earlier (LearnDash LMS > Courses > Course Name). Within this course you’ll see a tab near the top of the page which says ‘Builder’. Click on this and you’ll see something like this:
Now, drag and drop your lessons which will show in the Document sidebar into the grey box that says ‘Add a new Lesson or add an existing one from the sidebar’. When you’ve done this you’ll have a page that looks a bit like this:
You can drag these lessons up or down in order to re-arrange your lesson order. If you have created Topics to sub-divide your lessons, these can also now be added in the same manner. You’ll need to click on the arrow that is on the right hand side of the Lesson to expand the lesson. It is in these sections that both quizzes and topics can be added. The order of these dictates the order in which your students will move through the course.
Now the course has a structure it’s time to finalize some of the course settings. To do this head to the Settings tab from within the course. It’s here that you can dictate things like whether the course content is available to enrolled students only, whether or not the course is free or chargeable and if certain pre-requisites need to be met before a student can enrol on a course (for example, completing a previous course).
And that’s it! Click Update/Publish and you now have a working course onto which students can enrol.
How to Setup LearnDash – Summary
We’ve only had time to touch on the absolute basics of setting up a LearnDash course in this article. There are TONS of options available to you but, hopefully this article has given you the basic information needed to get you started which is often the hardest part of setting up a LearnDash LMS. Once you understand the basics, more complex options become clearer.
What is exciting about LearnDash though is that, when combined with a starter theme like Astra, you can go from having no eLearning website to a fully functioning LMS system within just a few hours. LearnDash 3.0 is pretty impressive. The number of high profile users is testament to this and, with a little bit of investment, it might offer the perfect LMS system for your requirements.
We’ll be following up this quick introductory guide with a few more detailed articles on using LearnDash so keep an eye on the blog for future updates! | <urn:uuid:6861bd4b-b27b-4d8d-a3ed-4b7f76f5130f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pressidium.com/blog/how-to-setup-learndash-a-quick-introductory-guide/ | 2024-04-18T06:36:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.923361 | 3,570 |
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, which can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. While there is no cure for eczema, there are several home remedies that can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups. In this article, we will explore the causes of eczema and discuss some effective home remedies for managing this condition.
Causes of Eczema
Eczema is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some of the common triggers of eczema include:
Eczema tends to run in families. If one or both parents have eczema, their child is more likely to develop the condition.
Exposure to certain environmental factors, such as dust mites, pollen, and animal dander, can trigger eczema flare-ups.
Immune System Dysfunction:
Eczema is believed to be caused by an overactive immune system that responds excessively to irritants and allergens.
People with dry skin are more susceptible to eczema because dry skin can make it easier for irritants to penetrate and cause a reaction.
Certain substances, such as soaps, detergents, and cleaning products, can cause an allergic reaction and trigger eczema.
Common allergens that can trigger eczema include dust mites, pollen, and animal dander.
Stress can cause the immune system to overreact, leading to eczema flare-ups.
Women may experience eczema flare-ups during pregnancy or during their menstrual cycle.
Home Remedies for Eczema:
While there is no cure for eczema, there are several home remedies that can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups. Here are a few natural remedies that you can try:
Applying coconut oil to the affected area can help moisturize the skin and reduce inflammation. Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe the skin.
Soaking in an oatmeal bath can help soothe irritated skin and reduce itching. Oatmeal contains compounds called avenanthramides that have anti-inflammatory properties and can help calm the skin.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Applying diluted apple cider vinegar to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Applying aloe Vera gel to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. Aloe Vera contains compounds called polysaccharides that have anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce redness and swelling.
Eating foods rich in probiotics, such as yogurt and kefir, can help improve gut health and reduce eczema symptoms. Probiotics can help balance the gut microbiome, which plays an important role in immune function.
Applying chamomile oil to the affected area can help soothe inflamed skin and reduce itching. Chamomile contains compounds called flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce redness and swelling.
Tea Tree Oil:
Applying tea tree oil to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Tea tree oil contains terpinen-4-ol, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Applying honey to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
In addition to the home remedies mentioned above, Additional advice for treating eczema is provided below:
Keeping the skin moisturized is crucial for managing eczema. Use a moisturizer that is free of fragrances and other potential irritants. Apply the moisturizer to damp skin immediately after bathing to lock in moisture.
Identify and avoid triggers that can cause eczema flare-ups. Some common triggers include stress, certain foods, and environmental allergens. Keep a journal to track your symptoms and identify patterns.
Wear Soft Fabrics:
Choose soft, breathable fabrics that are gentle on the skin, such as cotton and silk. Avoid rough fabrics that can irritate the skin, such as wool.
Use A Humidifier:
Eczema symptoms can be made worse by dry air. To keep the skin hydrated and to add moist to the air, use a humidifier.
Practice Good Hygiene:
Maintain excellent sanitation by keeping the afflicted region dry and clean. Use cool water instead of heated because hot water can remove the skin’s natural oils. Use mild, fragrance-free soap and pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
Scratching can worsen eczema symptoms and lead to infection. Keep your nails short and wear gloves at night to prevent scratching.
Stress can trigger eczema flare-ups. Use stress-relieving methods like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing techniques.
Consult A Dermatologist:
If home remedies and lifestyle changes are not effective in managing eczema, consult a dermatologist. They can prescribe topical creams, oral medications, or other treatments that may be more effective in managing your symptoms.
Remember that eczema is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management. It may take time to find the right combination of home remedies and lifestyle changes that work for you. Be patient and persistent in your efforts to manage your symptoms and work with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
How To Stop Eczema Itching Immediately?
Stopping eczema itching immediately can be a challenge, but here are some strategies that may help:
Apply A Cool, Wet Compress:
A cool, damp cloth can help soothe itchy skin and reduce inflammation. For a few minutes at a time, apply the compress to the affected region.
Take An Oatmeal Bath:
Oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe itchy skin. Add around a cup of oatmeal to a warm bath and soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
Use A Moisturizer:
Moisturizing the affected area can help reduce dryness and itching. Choose a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer and apply it to damp skin immediately after bathing.
Try Over-the-counter Creams:
Over-the-counter creams containing hydrocortisone or calamine may help reduce itching and inflammation. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label and avoid using these creams on broken skin.
Take An Antihistamine:
Antihistamines can help relieve itching caused by allergies. Talk to your doctor before taking any medication to ensure it’s safe for you.
Scratching can worsen eczema symptoms and lead to infection. Try to distract yourself from the itch by engaging in an activity or using a stress ball.
Wear Loose Clothing:
Tight clothing can irritate the skin and worsen itching. Choose loose, breathable clothing made from soft materials such as cotton.
If your itching is severe or persistent, consult a healthcare professional. They can recommend prescription-strength creams or other treatments that may be more effective in managing your symptoms.
Breast eczema is a type of eczema that affects the skin on or around the breasts. It can occur in women and men of all ages and can be a chronic or recurrent condition. The symptoms of breast eczema can include:
- Itching and dryness
- Redness and inflammation
- Scaling and flaking
- Crusting and oozing
- Pain and tenderness
Breast eczema can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
- Allergies to certain fabrics, soaps, or lotions
- Irritants such as chemicals or sweat
- Hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy or menopause
- Cold or dry weather
Treatment for breast eczema typically involves a combination of self-care measures and medications. Some tips for managing breast eczema include:
- Keep the affected area clean and dry.
- Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps and moisturizers.
- Avoid hot water and harsh chemicals.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing made from soft materials such as cotton.
- Apply a cool compress to the affected area to help reduce itching and inflammation.
- Take an oatmeal bath to help soothe the skin.
- Use topical creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor to help reduce inflammation and itching.
If your breast eczema is severe or persistent, consult a healthcare professional. They can help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatments to manage them. Additionally, if you notice any unusual lumps or changes in your breasts, it’s important to seek medical attention right away as these could be signs of breast cancer.

Poker online is simply the game of online poker played on the Internet. A lot of people are familiar with the name “poker”, but many would not be able to say where the game originated from or what it is actually. Poker was first thought of as a game only played in “specialized” poker rooms. However, it has since become popular to be played anywhere an Internet connection is available. Poker has become partially responsible for the massive growth of the number of poker gamers around the world.
There are also several poker sites that offer bonuses to new players. Some sites offer bonuses while others require players to become members first before they can participate. There are even some sites which are completely poker free. There is practically no difference between these two kinds of online poker sites. The main difference lies in the types of bonuses that the poker sites provide to players.
The best online poker sites would obviously offer the best bonuses to established players. You would probably be able to find a poker site that is willing to give out a bonus just for signing up. If there is no such bonus, then you will have to find one elsewhere. This may seem like a tedious task. But if you really want to play the best online poker sites, then you have to make sure you search until you find the sites that give out the bonuses.
There has been a recent bill which aims to legalize online poker gambling in the United States. But since the government still cannot grant its approval to the legalization of online gambling, it is unlikely that this bill will become a reality anytime soon. There are already a lot of debates going on between the opponents and supporters of the legalization of online gambling. Some people think that because online gambling is not yet legalized in the United States, it should not be considered as something that is against the law.
Others believe that the UIGEA should be amended or made more strict. If the US congress makes changes to the UIGEA, there is a great possibility that the law will be rendered unenforceable. This means that even though some states have already passed laws that legalizing offshore online poker sites, the federal government can implement its own version of an unwritten and non-enforcement, federal wire act. This would mean that anyone who enters the country with the intention to run a gambling operation will not be given the authorization by the DoJ to do so.
Do you want to play poker online? Then you need to make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the laws of your country before you start playing online. If you are from the United States, you must understand the DoJ’s position regarding online poker sites. If you are from another country, then you need to follow the local laws. It would also help if you get in touch with a good legal advisor before you start playing poker sites. | <urn:uuid:d452f6ad-3f47-437e-abb2-27fed14729cf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://prowin-bets.com/poker-online-and-the-dojs-enforcement/ | 2024-04-18T07:34:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.978202 | 577 |

She may have been made by a book says *Lucy Feldman but Jenny Han’s books have made her one of the biggest names in teen movies and TV.
On a warm, early-summer evening last year, a crowd of adolescent girls squeezed together on folding chairs in the rare-book room of the Strand bookstore in New York City. Hushed chatter filled the space as they waited for the sold-out event to begin.
“Just think,” a teen whispered to her friend, “when she walks in, we’ll be breathing the same air as her.”
It’s the kind of comment usually heard in the vicinity of pop stars and actors. But that night, the audience was there for an author turned producer: Jenny Han.
Han takes a moment when she hears this story.
We’re at an Alice in Wonderland–themed tea shop on the Upper East Side, an array of scones and clotted cream spread out between us. Our whimsical setting was Han’s choice, and it’s one that’s easy to imagine serving as the backdrop for a first date in one of her romantic comedies.
“That makes me want to cry,” she says, setting down her dainty cup.
Han, who made her debut in 2006 and has since published 10 additional books for and about young people, has long inspired big feelings in her readers. She had a past life as a children’s librarian, and that little strand of code is still in her DNA.
It’s there in her signature cat-eye glasses, in her ability to shift instantly from serious to playful, and in the way she talks about writing for young readers. Adults pick up books and forget what they read shortly after. “As a kid, you read stories that you remember for your whole life,” Han says.
Her hopeful coming-of-age novels, including the best-selling To All the Boys I’ve Loved, Before and The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogies, centre girls entrenched in the heady dramas of first love. Her characters are visceral and easy to root for—whether you’re an adolescent relating to them in real time or an adult looking back.
Building on her success as an author and a trail-blazing Asian American woman in YA— To All the Boys, which featured an Asian girl on the cover, was a notable anomaly when it hit the New York Times best-selling children’s list—Han, 42, has also become one of the biggest names in teen movies and TV, thanks to the popular adaptations of her work.
She’s been dubbed Gen Z’s Nancy Meyers, sought out by collaborators like Shonda Rhimes, and signed an exclusive deal with Amazon Studios.
Han is no stranger to an emotional meet-and-greet. She knows what her books mean to readers. But the story about her breathless fans hits a bit different today because it’s a reminder of how things have changed. Over the past few years, as the reach of her work has exploded, she hasn’t been able to connect with her readers on such a personal level.
This is what happens when you become a brand-name producer: your projects enter the delirious, social-media-driven world of Big Fandom—a world where everyone has an opinion.
Adjusting has been a process, and Han has become more deliberate about what kind of feedback she allows herself to absorb. “When you’re trying to be creative and openhearted, you can’t get locked up and scared, because then you’re only thinking about what people are going to say about you,” she says.
“First and foremost, I have to please myself as the storyteller.”
To All the Boys—her trilogy about Lara Jean, a teen who discovers her little sister has mailed the secret love letters she wrote to her past crushes—is comfort food with a delectable premise.
And it’s the project of Han’s that slammed open the door to Hollywood. The first book came out in 2014, and a Netflix movie followed in 2018. Han was an executive producer on the film, which made instant stars of Lana Condor and Noah Centineo and disproved the industry’s long-held assumption that a movie about an Asian American teen couldn’t find a broad audience. Netflix adapted both sequels.
Next came last year’s launch of the TV adaptation of Han’s Summer series on Prime Video—Han levelled up her involvement, serving as co-showrunner.
The first season followed 16-year-old Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) through a summer with her family at their friends’ beach house as she navigated confusing feelings for Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, brothers who finally see her as more than a little kid.
Its which-pair-do-you-ship love triangle and Taylor Swift–fueled soundtrack inspired passionate tributes and debates—on TikTok, the hashtag #thesummeriturnedpretty has 6.6 billion views, a number sure to grow when Season 2 premieres July 14, introducing more intense themes as the characters cope with a major hardship.
Han’s snowballing success, she realises, is unconventional.
For a long time, Hollywood preferred to keep authors away from adaptations, fearing they would resist changes to their work. But Han embraces them. She stays engaged by asking herself what she’d do if she were writing these stories from scratch today.
A key example: in the books, Belly is white—Han had been rejected by publishers when she tried to sell a different novel with an Asian American protagonist before Summer—but in the show, she wrote Belly as a biracial Korean American and introduced more characters of color and queer characters.
While most readers welcomed those updates, not every change went unchallenged. Tung remembers fans sharing their grievances when they saw in the trailer for the first season that Han had added a new storyline about a debutante ball. “There’s this idea that some things are done because whatever higher-ups want you to,” Tung says.
“But Jenny’s so intentional with every scene, every costume, every word. She will really fight for the things she believes in, and it usually ends up being exactly what people want.”
Still, Han understands that some things are sacred. There’s a scene in the second book—and second season—of The Summer I Turned Pretty that readers have shorthanded “the cocoa scene.”
Belly and Conrad have absconded to the beach house in winter, alone together for the first time in their favourite place. There’s dusty hot chocolate, a Simpsons mug, fluttering nerves, and some very meaningful kissing.
Han knows how crucial it was to get that scene right. She wrote the episode herself, and she blocked out the visuals and music just so with the director. It was hot when they were filming in Wilmington, N.C., and the actors were chafing against the idea of layering on winter clothes.
At tea, Han does an impression of herself, a growl in her voice, as she remembers ordering Tung and her castmate Christopher Briney to “Put! Those! Sweaters! On!”
Wrangling actors in their late teens and early 20s, Han sometimes feels like a circus ringmaster. Her job is to keep things on track, but also to allow for levity and joy.
“I’m like: Everybody stop laughing,” she says, mimicking her serious voice again. “But you need that energy too. You don’t want to dim all the enthusiasm and the effervescence and the fun.”
Han rented a boat and took the cast out for a day off, and she hosted them for taco night at her place in New York.
To Tung, Han is more than an on-set boss.
A stranger mistook them for mother and daughter earlier this year on the train to the White House Lunar New Year celebration. And during filming, Han surprised her on her birthday with a dress she’d been eyeing at a local vintage store—Tung had mentioned it only once, but Han found it and had it tailored to her exact measurements. “It was so special,” Tung says. “I was like, how are you even doing this when you’re doing everything, all the time?”
“Everything” is indeed a lot: Han is currently working on a film concept, an idea for a limited series, another for a regular series, an adult novel, and two YA novels, plus looking ahead to a second season of her To All the Boys spin- off XO, Kitty, which launched on Netflix in May and was renewed in June.
And, TIME can exclusively reveal, Amazon has picked up Han’s first-ever project for adults: a film she envisions as a homage to classic, Nora Ephron ’90s romantic comedies, featuring actors of colour in the leading roles.
“It’s a New York story about a writer, as many of my stories are,” Han says.
Her Summer collaborator Karen Rosenfelt will produce alongside her.
The prospect of adult projects from the mind of Jenny Han should be an enticing one for anyone who struggles under the weight of the world. Her work has a way of making you feel like everything’s going to be OK—and she genuinely believes it will be.
But that’s not to say she believes in perfect, tidy happy endings. Han is perpetually learning to cope with the fact that nothing in life is permanent, and she finds solace in writing about people who are, regardless of age, facing the same challenge and finding ways to press on. That’s what coming-of-age stories mean to her, and why she’s devoted to telling them.
“Everything will change, over and over again,” Han says. “But every day you’re surviving and finding beauty, even through the hard things.”

- The decades-long conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is rooted in competing claims to the Holy Land, and includes disputes over borders, Jerusalem, security, and Palestinian refugees.
- The United States has long sought a solution to the conflict that results in two states, although the Trump administration adopted policies that diverged from that goal.
- The Biden administration has reaffirmed U.S. support for a two-state solution but hasn’t moved to restart negotiations. It has instead promoted Israeli-Arab normalization and resumed aid for Palestinians.
Israelis and Palestinians have clashed over claims to the Holy Land for decades, a conflict that has long been one of the world’s most intractable. Although the United States is a strong supporter of Israel, it has traditionally tried to advance a diplomatic solution that would reconcile the competing claims of the two parties.
Multiple U.S. administrations have proposed road maps for a peace process that would result in two states, one Israeli and one Palestinian. However, critics say prospects for a two-state solution dimmed under President Donald Trump, who implemented controversial policies regarding core components of the conflict. Though the Joe Biden administration has reiterated U.S. support for a two-state solution, it has reversed only some of Trump’s changes while leaving others in place, including the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
What is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict about?
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is rooted in a century-long territorial dispute over the Holy Land, a Middle Eastern region with great religious and historical significance to Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Increasing numbers of Jews began moving to Ottoman Palestine—a predominately Arab region—following the 1896 publication of Theodor Herzl’s The Jewish State, which promoted the idea of a haven for Jews in their ancient homeland to escape anti-Semitism in Europe. The migration accelerated after the Holocaust of World War II, in which Nazi Germany killed six million Jews.
In 1947, after years of Arab-Jewish violence, the UN General Assembly voted for the establishment of two states in Palestine, one Jewish and the other Arab. Shortly after, the Jewish community in Palestine declared Israel an independent state, prompting hundreds of thousands more Jews to emigrate, and precipitating a war launched by neighboring Arab states.
For their part, Palestinian Arabs say Jews have usurped their ancestral homeland with help from Western powers, including the United States and the United Kingdom. They refer to Israel’s establishment and its defeat of allied Arab armies in the 1948 war as the Nakba, or catastrophe, which the United Nations estimated uprooted more than seven hundred thousand Palestinians.
In the decades since, the Israeli-Palestinian dispute has continually flared into conflict, including multistate wars, armed uprisings (intifadas), and terrorist acts. A major turning point was the 1967 Six-Day War, which culminated in Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza. In its aftermath, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 242, which called for Israel to withdraw from occupied lands to secure and recognize borders in exchange for peace. The resolution lacked details, but nonetheless was a milestone, becoming the basis for future diplomacy to end the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Today, the region is home to some two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and three million in the West Bank. Although most of Israel’s 9.5 million residents are Jewish, there are around two million Arab citizens. International diplomatic efforts to broker a political settlement have made limited headway. More recent U.S.-led diplomacy has focused on resolving several core issues:
Borders. The notion of having two separate states, one Israeli and the other Palestinian, commonly referred to as the two-state solution, has had significant international support for decades. It would establish a Palestinian state that includes most of the West Bank—with land swaps to compensate it for Israel’s absorption of some Jewish settlements there—and Gaza, which Israel unilaterally withdrew from in 2005. Most international diplomacy promoting a two-state solution favors Israel’s reverting to a version of its pre-1967 borders, but there is no consensus on how doing so could account for Palestinians within those borders and Jewish Israelis living beyond them.
*In March 2019, the United States recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, but as of June 2020, it is the only country to do so.
Jerusalem. The disputed city straddles the border of Israel and the West Bank. Israel has annexed the whole city as its capital; the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem for the capital of their state. A two-state solution would require a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem.
Refugees. The wars in 1948 and 1967 created some one million Palestinian refugees. The survivors and their descendants, mostly living in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, claim the right to return to Israel, as supported by a 1948 UN General Assembly resolution. Debate continues on whether survivors’ descendants should also be considered refugees with that right. Israel sees the right to return as a threat to its existence as a Jewish state, and believes the refugees should go to the Palestinian state that would be created as part of a two-state solution.
Security. Israel views some Palestinian militant groups as existential threats [PDF], particularly Hamas, the Islamist organization that governs Gaza and has vowed to destroy Israel. Its suicide bombings and rocket attacks usually target Israeli civilians. Israel wants these groups to disarm and the Palestinian state to be demilitarized, but accepts that Palestinians should have a strong police force. The Palestinians seek an end to Israel’s military occupation and want full control over their own security, but accept limitations on their arms. Israel wants to maintain the ability to act in Palestinian territory against threats to its security.
Mutual recognition. Each side seeks recognition of its state by the other, as well as the international community. Most Israeli Jews want to see Israel recognized as a Jewish state, while Palestinians want Israel to acknowledge their forced displacement under the Nakba.
End of conflict. Both sides seek a peace agreement that would end their conflict and honor the claims of each side, and lead to peace and normalization of Israel’s relations with all Arab states, as provided for in the Arab League’s Arab Peace Initiative.
What are U.S. interests in the dispute?
The Middle East has long been of central importance to the United States as successive administrations pursued a broad set of interrelated goals including securing vital energy resources, staving off Soviet and Iranian influence, ensuring the survival and security of Israel and Arab allies, countering terrorism, promoting democracy, and reducing refugee flows. Correspondingly, the United States has sought to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has been a major driver of regional dynamics, with an eye toward obtaining these strategic objectives while balancing its support for Israel and pushing for broader regional stability. At the same time, the dispute has been a core concern of the American Jewish community and Christian Evangelicals, both strong supporters of Israel.
However, some experts say U.S. interest in resolving the conflict has waned in recent years. After the start of the 2011 uprisings commonly known as the Arab Spring, the wars in Syria and Yemen, Iran’s push for dominance in the region, and terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and the self-proclaimed Islamic State posed more immediate threats to U.S. interests. Additionally, U.S. relations with Iran and the Arab Gulf states no longer seem to hinge on Israeli-Palestinian issues, making the conflict even less of a priority, said former CFR Fellow Philip H. Gordon, who worked on Middle East peace negotiations at the White House during the Barack Obama administration. (Gordon has served as a national security advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris since January 2021.)
How has the U.S. been involved in the conflict?
The United States has been a central player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for more than half a century. It became involved shortly after World War II, joining the United Kingdom in a 1946 inquiry [PDF] that recommended one hundred thousand Holocaust survivors relocate to Palestine, which would be neither a Jewish nor an Arab state. The United States then became the first country to recognize Israel as a sovereign nation in 1948.
After the 1967 Six-Day War, the United States attempted to mediate the broader Arab-Israeli conflict along with Britain, France, Russia, and the United Nations. However, it was the 1973 war, in which Israel struggled early on to defend itself against invading Egyptian and Syrian forces, that compelled the United States to take the lead in future diplomacy. Although Israel won the conflict militarily, the Arab powers delivered a major psychological blow.
The war was also a major turning point for U.S. foreign policy in that it prompted Arab oil producers to impose a harmful oil embargo on the United States, and it brought the United States—which supported Israel—and the Soviet Union—which armed Egypt and Syria—close to a nuclear confrontation after a period of détente. The war also proved a boon for the Palestinian cause, with the Arab League recognizing the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people” in 1974.
Timeline of Israeli-Palestinian Relations
1948: Israel accepts UNGA Resolution 181 and declares its independence. It repels armies from nearby Arab countries that oppose its existence. UNGA Resolution 194 establishes Palestinians’ right of return.
1967: Responding to a mobilization by Arab states, Israel launches preemptive strikes and captures the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Sinai Peninsula. UN Security Council Resolution 242 enshrines the “land for peace” vision that becomes the basis of future Arab-Israeli negotiations.
1973: During the Third Arab-Israeli War, the United States backs Israel against a coalition of Arab states attempting to regain lost territory, arranges a cease-fire, and launches the U.S.-led peace process.
1978–1979: U.S. President Jimmy Carter hosts Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David, where they lay out a framework for peace in the Middle East that includes Palestinian autonomy. After further negotiations, Egypt and Israel sign a peace treaty.
1987–1993: The first intifada leads to widespread violence, resulting in the deaths of several hundred Israelis and nearly two thousand Palestinians.
1988: Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat accepts UNSC Resolution 242 as the basis for Israeli-Palestinian negotiation.
1993: Secret Israeli-Palestinian negotiations held in Norway result in the Oslo Accords, which call for the withdrawal of Israeli troops in stages from the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinian self-government. The PLO recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and Israel recognizes the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people.
1994: Israel and Jordan sign a peace treaty brokered by the United States.
1995: The Oslo II Accords establish Palestinian self-government in Gaza and 40 percent of the West Bank.
1991: The Madrid Conference, cohosted by the United States and the Soviet Union, opens negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians for the first time.
2000: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Arafat attend a Camp David summit convened by U.S. President Bill Clinton to discuss borders, settlements, refugees, and Jerusalem, but talks end without an agreement. Clinton announces parameters for an independent Palestinian state living in peace with Israel.
2002: The Arab Peace Initiative offers Israel peace and normalized relations with the Arab world after a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After terrorist attacks inside Israel, its army retakes control of Palestinian-governed territory in the West Bank and later begins building a security barrier around settlement blocs in East Jerusalem.
2000–2005: After the 2000 peace process collapses, mistrust on both sides sparks the second intifada, in which one thousand Israelis and more than three thousand Palestinians are killed.
2003: U.S. President George W. Bush announces a road map to end violence and restart Israeli-Palestinian negotiations leading to a Palestinian state.
2008–2009: After Hamas launches rocket attacks on Israeli civilians from Gaza, Israel goes to war with the Palestinian militant group there. The weekslong conflict kills over one thousand Palestinians and thirteen Israelis.
2013–2014: The Barack Obama administration relaunches Israeli-Palestinian final status negotiations, but talks break down over disagreements on settlements, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and other issues.
2005: Israel withdraws from Gaza, including from all settlements there. President Bush sends a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon recognizing the reality of settlement blocs in the West Bank.
2017: U.S. President Donald J. Trump announces his decision to relocate the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the city as Israel’s capital.
2018: The United States slashes bilateral aid to the Palestinians and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), closes the PLO office in Washington, DC, and opens its embassy in Jerusalem.
2019: The Trump administration recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and voices its disagreement with a decades-old State Department opinion that says Israel’s West Bank settlements are inconsistent with international law.
2020: President Trump announces his vision for Israeli-Palestinian peace, which provides for Israel to annex 30 percent of the West Bank and for a smaller Palestinian state. Later, his administration brokers deals for multiple Arab states to normalize relations with Israel.
In 1978, U.S. President Jimmy Carter hosted the Camp David peace talks between Israel and Egypt, which produced two frameworks that would lay a foundation for future Mideast diplomacy. The first called for talks involving Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinians about Palestinian self-rule in Gaza and the West Bank. The second called for a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, which the two governments signed in 1979 at the White House. Though Jordan was also a party in the 1973 war, it did not join the talks, fearing condemnation from other Arab nations. A separate Israel-Jordan peace treaty was signed in 1994.
Although the United States was left out of negotiating the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords—under which Palestinian leaders recognized Israel’s right to exist, and Israel recognized Palestinian autonomy in Gaza and the West Bank—the disputing parties signed the final agreement at the White House. The United States and the Bill Clinton administration played a larger role in 1998, when it sponsored negotiations between Israel and the PLO that led to the Clinton Parameters for the establishment of a two-state solution. Since then, successive administrations have proposed their own plans for a two-state solution: George W. Bush’s Road Map to Peace, Secretary of State John Kerry’s Six Principles, and Trump’s Peace to Prosperity.
While trying to broker a deal between the parties, the United States has shielded Israel from international criticism, which some say has hindered diplomacy to resolve the conflict. Since 1970, the United States has used its veto power as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to block resolutions censuring Israel dozens of times because it sees the United Nations as a forum that is biased against Israel. Since 1980, the United States has only once allowed the Security Council to condemn Israel for its settlement construction, in late 2016, when the outgoing Obama administration abstained from a vote on the matter.
The Trump administration opted to side with Israel on various matters, breaking with decades of U.S. policy aimed at serving as a neutral broker in negotiations. In August 2020, the administration mediated an agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, known as the Abraham Accords, in which the two countries pledged to begin normalizing ties. Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco later announced similar U.S.-brokered deals. Opponents of normalization say these moves betray the Palestinian cause, as the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative stipulates that Arab League members will establish relations with Israel only after the creation of a Palestinian state, among other conditions.
What is the U.S. position on Palestinian statehood?
Biden has reaffirmed U.S. support for a two-state solution, calling for separate Israeli and Palestinian states with borders resembling those that existed before the 1967 war; this territory includes the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and parts of East Jerusalem. The Clinton Parameters provided the outlines for the establishment of a Palestinian state and the resolution of the other final status issues. George W. Bush became the first U.S. president to publicly endorse a Palestinian state, which was represented in the 2003 Road Map for Peace plan put forth by the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations. The Obama administration also tried to advance a two-state solution, but talks collapsed in 2014 over disagreements on settlements, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and other issues. In 2016, Secretary Kerry outlined principles for a two-state solution based on those final status talks.
Trump’s plan, dubbed Peace to Prosperity, would have established a Palestinian state but given Israel sovereignty over an essentially undivided Jerusalem, including the Old City and the holy sites, relegating the Palestinian capital to a sliver of East Jerusalem. The plan did not grant Palestinian refugees the right to return to their former lands but promised some $50 billion worth of investment in a developing Palestinian state. The conceptual map provided in Trump’s plan suggested that the Palestinian territory in the West Bank would shrink to 70 percent as Israel annexed the Jordan Valley and all its settlements there. Critics called the plan—which was created without consulting Palestinian leaders—a win for Israel on all the major final status issues, and the Palestinian Authority (PA) rejected it.
Despite its long-standing support for a two-state solution, the United States has traditionally not supported Palestinian bids for statehood at the United Nations, saying this matter should only be decided through negotiations with Israel. The PA has pursued full membership for Palestine at the United Nations since 2011, a move that requires approval by the Security Council, where the United States has a veto. The PA has yet to garner enough support for the bid, but in 2012, 138 countries at the UN General Assembly voted to recognize Palestine as a nonmember observer state.
What is the U.S. position on Jerusalem?
When the UN General Assembly voted to divide British-controlled Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states in 1947, it set aside the city of Jerusalem as a corpus separatum, or separate body, recognizing its shared religious significance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. However, newly independent Israel established its seat of government in the western half of the city and later captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967. Israel then expanded the municipal borders of Jerusalem to incorporate neighboring Palestinian towns and effectively annexed it.
As part of the 1993 Oslo Accords—the last significant agreement on the dispute—Israel and the PLO affirmed that claims to Jerusalem would only be decided in final status negotiations. Today, Israel views all of Jerusalem as its capital, while the PA claims East Jerusalem as the seat of a future Palestinian state, viewing Israel’s hold on the land as an occupation.
For decades, the United States and most other countries that have relations with Israel kept their embassies in Tel Aviv, so as not to preempt a future peace deal. Although a 1995 U.S. law [PDF] required the relocation of the American embassy to Jerusalem, successive presidents waived the requirement “to protect the national security interests of the United States.” However, Trump declined to do so in 2017, instead moving the embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the city as Israel’s capital. Supporters of the relocation argued there was no national security imperative prohibiting the move, and that U.S. diplomatic representation to Israel ought to be based at the country’s seat of government. The announcement prompted Palestinian officials to break off relations with the Trump administration. Although President Biden has reestablished these ties, he has said the U.S. embassy will remain in Jerusalem.
In 2021, Biden announced his intention to reopen the Palestinian mission in Washington and the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem, both of which Trump closed. But they remained closed as of mid-2022, and reopening them will be difficult: A 1987 law circumvented by Trump’s predecessors bans Palestinians from having a mission in the United States, and the Trump administration passed legislation to block future leaders from waiving the restriction. Reopening the consulate in East Jerusalem would require the Israeli government’s approval, which is unlikely.
What is the U.S. position on Israeli settlements?
Shortly after the 1967 war, Israel began building settlements in some of the territories it had seized. Settlement construction began under Labor party governments seeking to strengthen defense in parts of the West Bank that had seen heavy fighting during the Arab-Israeli wars, but it increased rapidly as some settlers viewed the land as their religious and historical right, and others found economic incentives to live there. By 2019, some six hundred thousand Israelis were living in settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
For years, the United States officially condemned these settlements—branding them an obstacle to peace—but avoided outright calling them illegal to avoid the possibility that Israel would face international sanctions. A 1978 State Department legal opinion stated that Jewish settlements in occupied territory are not admissible under international law, yet President Ronald Reagan stated in a 1981 interview that the settlements were “ill-advised” but “not illegal.” George H.W. Bush was the first president to link the amount of aid that Israel would receive to its settlement building, deducting the cost of settlement construction from U.S. loan guarantees. However, Clinton later allowed exemptions for settlement construction in East Jerusalem and for “natural growth.” In 2004, George W. Bush wrote a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon recognizing that the “new realities,” or settlements, would make it impossible for Israel to revert to pre-1967 borders in any peace agreement. Most administrations came to believe that Israel would keep its three largest settlement blocs in exchange for ceding other land to the Palestinians in any peace deal, thinking it unrealistic that Israel could force so many of its citizens to leave the settlements. While the Obama administration took actions to shield Israel from political movements that sought to penalize Israeli businesses operating in the West Bank, it also delivered a rebuke of Israel’s settlements by abstaining from a UN Security Council vote declaring the settlements illegal.
As it did with other components of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Trump administration pivoted to a view of Jewish settlements that was markedly pro-Israel. In 2019, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo voiced disagreement with the 1978 State Department opinion, saying civilian settlements in the West Bank are “not, per se, inconsistent with international law,” and not an obstacle to the peace process. The announcement prompted more than one hundred members of Congress to sign a letter of disapproval. The Biden administration has not taken an official position on the settlements’ legality.
Under Trump’s peace plan, Israel would have absorbed about 30 percent of the West Bank by extending sovereignty to all Jewish settlements there and to the Jordan Valley. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to move forward with annexation in July 2020, a proposal condemned by U.S. lawmakers from both major parties, human rights experts, and leaders worldwide. However, as part of the Abraham Accord with the UAE, Israel agreed to halt annexation temporarily.
How much U.S. aid goes to Israelis and Palestinians?
The United States has long been Israel’s ally and its leading security collaborator because the United States supports the existence of a Jewish state. During the Cold War, many U.S. defense strategists saw Israel as the best partner in the fight against Soviet influence in the Middle East, and it later proved to be a strong contributor to U.S. counterterrorism efforts.
Today, Israel remains the United States’ closest strategic partner in the Middle East. Both countries are concerned about Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its support for Islamist militants, particularly Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Hamas. As a result of these shared interests, the United States has pledged to help safeguard Israel’s military superiority over any hostile combination of countries in the region. By law, the U.S. government must ensure that any arms sales to other Middle Eastern states do not “adversely affect Israel’s qualitative military edge over military threats to Israel” [PDF].
The United States began providing Israel with military assistance after its withdrawal from Arab territories as part of the peace process. Washington considered it a responsibility to provide this security aid because Israel was taking risks for peace. The United States also gave large aid packages to Egypt and Jordan in exchange for their commitments to the peace process.
Since the end of World War II, the United States has provided more foreign aid [PDF] to Israel than it has to any other country. The United States gave Israel significant economic assistance from 1971 to 2007, but due to Israel’s considerable economic growth beginning in the 1990s, it now receives mostly military aid. More than half of all foreign military aid that President Biden requested for fiscal year 2022 was earmarked for Israel. Under a 2016 memorandum of understanding, the United States is committed to providing nearly $4 billion to Israel each year, including $500 million for missile defense. Following the 2021 Israel-Hamas conflict, it provided an additional $1 billion in missile defense funding.
The United States also provides aid [PDF] to Palestinians, mostly to support government and humanitarian programs. Washington gave more than $5 billion total between 1994 and 2018. The United States has also provided more than $6 billion in aid to the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) since 1950. Aid flows were restructured in 2007, after Hamas broke violently with the PA—led by the rival Fatah party—and seized control of the Gaza Strip. The United States considers Hamas a terrorist organization and takes measures to prohibit it from receiving any assistance.
U.S. aid to the Palestinians began shrinking under the Trump administration in 2018, as it reduced assistance to the West Bank and Gaza and discontinued contributions to UNRWA. In 2019, Trump signed an antiterrorism law that allowed Americans to sue recipients of U.S. foreign aid, including the PA, over alleged complicity in acts of war. Fearing lawsuits, the PA requested that Washington cut off its aid. Though the antiterrorism law remains in effect, the Biden administration has resumed aid to the West Bank and Gaza. It has so far announced more than $600 million for UNRWA, as well as $100 million for hospitals in East Jerusalem and $15 million to mitigate food insecurity worsened by the war in Ukraine, though some of these funds will require congressional approval.
What are the prospects for a resolution to the conflict?
The outlook for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is bleak. It’s highly unlikely that the Palestinians will receive a package of concessions from Israel that is more favorable than those that the Palestinians have rejected in the past. Some experts have suggested that the prospects for a two-state solution will continue to fade, especially if the Israeli government annexes settlements in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, actions it agreed to suspend as part of the Abraham Accord with the UAE. And many analysts say the recent Arab-Israeli normalization deals, as well as the 2021 Israel-Hamas conflict, have reduced the likelihood of new talks between Israel and the PA. Meanwhile, political divisions between Hamas and the PA remain a challenge to any future negotiated settlement.
Experts say these dynamics have raised the prospect of a one-state outcome, which many view as perilous given the possibility that, with Arabs forming at least half the population, Israel will no longer be a Jewish state. And if Israel were to deny Palestinians equal rights to remain a Jewish state, that would undermine its future as a democracy. Despite these concerns, there’s some interest in the notion of a one-state solution: A July 2021 poll found that 14 percent of Israel’s Jewish citizens would accept a one-state solution, compared to 56 percent of its Arab citizens. A 2022 poll [PDF] found that one in five Palestinians would support it.

Survey USA's state by state polls showing how Obama and McCain would fare against each other with various permutations of running mates continue to show that John Edwards is by far the best possible running mate for Obama among the possibilities they are testing (Ed Rendell, Kathleen Sebelius, Chuck Hagel, Edwards.)
This polling might make you think Edwards should be Obama's running mate, but consider some historical perspective:
In late May 2004, a Mason Dixon poll showed George W. Bush leading John Kerry 48-41 in North Carolina. It also showed that with Edwards on the ticket, the margin narrowed to 46-45.
Of course Edwards was chosen- and that seven point deficit turned into a 12 point loss.
The lesson? The Vice Presidential selection is certainly important, because it will line someone up as the leading contender to be our next President- but the running mate is very unlikely to have much of an impact on who actually wins this fall. | <urn:uuid:e51d5764-8068-4a43-8c1b-122b1dab1217> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2008/06/historical-perspective-on-edwards-as_05.html | 2024-04-18T07:27:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.95768 | 194 |

How Does Happn Work?
Happn is a popular dating app that was launched in 2014. It was created with the aim of connecting people who cross paths in their everyday lives but may have missed the chance to meet each other. Unlike other dating apps, Happn relies on location-based technology to help users find potential matches nearby.
On Happn, you can browse through profiles of other users who have crossed paths with you at some point during your day.
These profiles are displayed in a timeline format, allowing you to see when and where you encountered each user. This unique feature adds an element of spontaneity and excitement to the online dating experience, as it allows for connections that might not occur otherwise.
One key feature of Happn is its ability to send "charms" to other users. Charms are virtual notifications that let someone know you’re interested in them, even if they haven’t liked your profile yet.
Another notable aspect of Happn is its emphasis on privacy – it only shows the approximate location where two users crossed paths without revealing exact details. Overall, this location-based dating app offers a fun and practical way for individuals with missed connections to potentially find each other and start meaningful relationships.

While Happn strives to create a safe platform, there is room for improvement regarding safety and security concerns.

Enhancing these filters or implementing stronger measures could help further reduce instances of such profiles popping up on the app, increasing overall user trust and confidence in the platform’s safety features.
Happn, a popular dating app, has been facing security concerns due to the presence of fake profiles and bots. Users have reported encountering blatantly fake profiles that appear too good to be true or exhibit suspicious behavior.

By doing so, Happn can create a safer environment for users to connect genuinely.
- Enable the "Only show me if I’m interested" feature to avoid encountering fake profiles on Happn. This useful setting ensures that only users you’ve shown interest in can send you messages, minimizing contact with potentially fake accounts.

In a world where boutique gyms and personal training seem to be the norm, it’s important to find your “fitness niche.” You know, what gets you going, what pumps you up, what makes you feel like you totally earned that glass of wine at happy hour…
For me, it’s group fitness. Even as someone who has 15+ years of experience working out in a gym and even taught small group training classes, I still don’t feel entirely comfortable putting together my own routine and working out by myself on the floor. For one, it’s boring. Like, look-at-the-clock-every-five-seconds-because-I-can’t-wait-to-be-finished boring. It’s just you, your headphones and the exercise — which, to me, doesn’t sound fun. It might work for some (okay, a lot) of people, but not me. I want that heart-pumping loud music that has everyone in the zone, friends to keep me accountable and push me through that last rep, and an instructor who knows what he or she is talking about and guides me through a challenging routine and doesn’t let me give up. That’s exactly what I get from the group fitness classes at Purlife Fitness Center. Whether it’s focused on lower body and core, cardio, or full body, I leave there with a smile on my face knowing that I accomplished something I may not have done if I had to do it alone.
Group Fitness Studio at Purlife Delray
Purlife Fitness Center offers a variety of group classes at both locations in Delray Beach and Boca Raton. You’ll be introduced to all kinds of equipment, including, but not limited to, TRX, Bosu balls, Powerblocks, Kettlebells, dumbbells and barbells. The state-of-the-art Queenax is literally like a playground in the middle of the gym.
The Queenax Functional Unit at Purlife Boca
With it, comes the ability to perform exercises you may not have ever heard of or seen before. This makes each class more exciting than the last as there is always something new to learn, especially if you switch it up between the different instructors who all have their own unique styles and format for their classes.
There is something so motivating about joining in on a group fitness class. You’re surrounded by like minded people who share the same goal and you are there to help each other reach them. Most of the time, you end up taking class with the same people day after day. Your “gym friends” can quickly become your lifelong friends, which has been the case for me. The instructors also become your friends — but more than that, you are trusting them with your health and wellbeing. You’re literally putting your life in their hands and hoping they will guide you in the direction of your fitness goals, and help you each step along the way to achieve them. The friends I’ve made at Purlife — both members and trainers/instructors — have never steered me wrong.
The benefits of group fitness classes are kind of a no-brainer.
- Sharing a fun, exciting atmosphere with like minded individuals.
- Friends who become like family, who keep you motivated and accountable.
- Trustworthy instructors who challenge you to new limits and help you reach your goals.
If I haven’t already convinced you enough, come check out Purlife Fitness Center for yourself. Classes are available every day of the week, starting as early as 5:45am and as late as 6:30pm.

Having trouble with your iPhone not being recognized by your PC? Let’s delve into some possible solutions to get your device connected smoothly.
Check and Update Software on Devices
To fix the issue of iPhone not being recognized by a PC, it’s important to check and update the software on your devices. Follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

Doha Bank Extends Liquidity Support to SMEs due to Covid- 19
Doha bank is the front runner in providing financial solutions to SMEs in the last one decade. Doha bank has always been proactive to its customers more particularly to SMEs. Considering the present situation due to Covid- 19, Doha bank observed that SMEs cash flows may be impacted and decided to extend support to borrowers under SME segment by postponement upon request up to 90 days of their installments under term loan and payments under LTR/ STPF facilities falling due up to 30th June. Bank will not charge penal interest and fee for the same.
DOHA Bank considers that SMEs are the primary component of liberal economy and social stability. SMEs not only contribute to output, fulfill social objectives, attract considerable foreign reserves into a country but also have a clear importance in providing employment, they are the backbone of the private sector all over the world which drives the impact to a sustainable economy. So, it is very important to support SMEs time to time depending upon the market situation.
Doha Bank is a pioneer in appreciating the importance of the very critical role being played by SMEs in the development of Qatar’s economy. Doha Bank was the first to launch ‘Tatweer’, a dedicated SME unit in 2008.
Doha Bank have been very supportive of SMEs and are helping them to be ready for the times ahead by way of providing financing with the help of innovative products and services for their commercial activities.
Apart from lending products which takes care off entire working capital finance, capex financing, Doha Bank SME also offers specialized services like cash management, payroll products, trade services, customized forex solutions, insurance solutions, etc.
Doha Bank is also playing an important role in supporting and promoting SMEs through QDB’s indirect lending program, called ‘Al-Dhameen’, which encourages commercial banks in Qatar to lend financial support to SMEs by way of guaranteeing 75% -85% of the principal outstanding to new as well as existing entities. Doha Bank was one of the earliest signatories to this program and we have made major progress in promoting startups through this program. Doha Bank has also been recently awarded “Best Partner Bank” by QDB.
The world of opportunities which are currently on offer for SMEs in the backdrop of the massive infrastructure development taking place in the form of ports, roads, rail, hotels, commercial and residential buildings for Qatar National Vision 2030. The development of new stadiums and massive refurbishment of the existing footballing infrastructure also presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs to grow further. The growing population in Qatar will also provide fresh opportunities in the areas of organized retailing through Hypermarkets & Supermarkets, educational institutions and health care facilities.

Solar energy is a green energy source because it is a renewable and it does not cause any harm to the environment. This is achieved by converting the sun’s rays into electricity with the help of solar cells.
There are three basic approaches how we can use this form of green energy source namely passive, active and by using photovoltaic cells.
When we refer to passive solar energy, nothing is converted. What happens is the building’s design helps avoid heat loss and gets the most out of day lighting.
Such a technique can also be used in homes because studies have shown that this can reduce the heating requirements by as much as 80% with minimal cost. This means you don’t have to turn on the air condition or heater that often and if everyone does that, we don’t consume that much electricity which we get from non-renewable resources.
The second approach which is active solar energy is the first way of converting sunlight into heat. You should know that there are certain limits to this one and all it can do is make sure you have hot water.
The third approach is the big scale version and it can power an office or an entire home. This is done with the help of solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity. The smallest ones around can be seen in calculators and watches with large ones planted over huge acres of land.
The only limitation to this green energy source is the fact that it can only generate power when the weather is good and the sun is out. Should it rain, then nothing is collected and converted. When this happens, the auxiliary system is turned on until the weather improves.
Despite that, scientists and students themselves have made solar powered cars. NASA or the National Aeronautical Space Administration has sent satellites into space that are powered by solar panels. A fully functional airport can function on its own thanks to solar power even if it is situated in the middle of the frozen desert.
So people can see the awesome power of solar energy, did you know a kilowatt of solar energy can produce 5.5 hours of electricity per day. If you have more solar cells in place, naturally you will be able to produce enough power to last several days.
Solar energy is just one form of green energy source around. Through the years, we have learned to tap other resources and these examples include wind power, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity and biogas. These are all safe and by using these more often, we don’t need to depend on oil which is a nonrenewable resource.
To make this happen, we have to persuade our law makers to promote the use of such resources. Although you hear speeches left and right about their concern for the environment, it is all talk and not that much action. It is something that has to change.
Two countries that have increased solar usage happen to be Germany and Japan. Spain, France, Italy and South Korea are next in the list and where is the United States? Well, one thing is for certain and that it is not in the top 10 despite the fact that it is an industrialized nation. | <urn:uuid:ee63c2ee-255d-4262-a10a-e6ab8c20c4e7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://qualityol.com/solar-energy-is-a-form-of-green-energy-source/ | 2024-04-18T07:34:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.967894 | 641 |
Prototyping an UWB Airborne Radar for Snow Probing Using Modular Building Blocks
F. Rodriguez-Morales, C. Carabajal, A. Paden and C. Leuschen, Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, University of Kansas; J. McDaniel, Advanced Radar Research Center, University of Oklahoma; and A. Wolf and S. Garrison, Kansas City National Security Campus
A set of compact ultra-wideband (UWB) radar transmit/receive modules has been developed using rapid prototyping. The modules are based on tailored microwave filters, off-the-shelf building blocks from a commercial supplier and custom DC biasing circuits. As an intermediate step toward full system miniaturization, the integration of microwave components using this technique enables evaluation of different configurations to improve radar performance with a reduced form factor.

Mind to Matter with Dawson Church
Every creation begins as a thought, from a symphony to a marriage to an ice cream cone to a rocket launch. When we have an intention, a complex chain of events begins in our brains. Thoughts travel as electrical impulses along neural pathways. When neurons fire together they wire together, creating electromagnetic fields. These fields are invisible energy, yet they influence the molecules of matter around us the way a magnet organizes iron filings.
In Dawson Church’s new book, Mind to Matter, we learn how our minds create matter. Different intentions produce different fields and different material creations. The thoughts and energy fields we cultivate in our minds condition the atoms and molecules around us. We can now trace the science behind each link in chain from thought to thing, showing the surprising ways in which our intentions create the material world.
Neuroscientists have measured a specific brain wave formula that is linked to manifestation. This “flow state” can be learned and applied by anyone. New discoveries in epigenetics, neuroscience, electromagnetism, psychology, vibration, and quantum physics connect each step in the process by which mind creates matter. They show that the whole universe is self-organizing, and when our minds are in a state of flow, they coordinate with nature’s emergent intelligence to produce synchronous outcomes.

Burkina Faso born Jesuit priest, Fr. Paul Béré, is making history as the first ever African to win the Ratzinger Prize, which rewards the work of theologians and specialists from related disciplines.
“I am very surprised to have been awarded this prize, and I am very grateful to the scientific committee for this honor of being at the forefront of Africa for this prize,” Fr. Béré told Vatican News shortly after the announcement.
“I think this is an encouragement for all theological works done in Africa,” he said and described theology in Africa as “a theology that is attentive to what the Christian community is living in our territory.”
The President of the Joseph Ratzinger-Benedict XVI Foundation, Fr. Federico Lombardi, and President of the Pontifical Council for Culture, Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi presented the winners of the 2019 Ratzinger Prize on Monday, September 30.
The prizewinners are chosen by Pope Francis on the proposal of a scientific council composed of five Cardinals who are members of the Curia. Each winner is expected to receive a cheque for $87,000.00
Fr Béré who is a lecturer at the Rome-based Pontifical Biblical Institute, explained that he received the award for his work on the figure of Prophet Joshua.
“As an African Biblist, I worked on the figure of Joshua,” he said
The Jesuit priest also stated that the two dimensions of the figure of the Prophet Joshua who led the community entrusted to him with dedication and his relationship with his predecessor Moses are a source of inspiration for the people of God in Africa on the transmission of values from one generation to another.
“This is also an inspiration that can help the Church in Africa to work towards the transmission from one generation to another of the mission that we received from the Lord in the ecclesial and political spheres,” he said.
Fr. Paul Beré, who is a member of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) was part of a recent Nairobi conference that deliberated on the status of the evangelization mission in Africa. In an interview with ACI Africa, he emphasised the need for “africanness” in African Churches and encouraged Africans to network with other African scholars to promote the identity of Africans within the universal Church.
Pope Francis will award Fr. Béré the prize on November 9, 2019 at the Vatican Apostolic Palace alongside the Canadian Catholic philosopher, Charles Margrave Taylor. | <urn:uuid:e6e25456-776d-45b4-9983-5ce02e1a33be> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://radioangelus.com/this-burkinabe-jesuit-priest-is-first-african-to-win-ratzinger-prize/ | 2024-04-18T07:37:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817200.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418061950-20240418091950-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.972964 | 534 |
