Specialties
Adjustment Issues
Adjustment issues refer to the difficulties and challenges individuals face when trying to adapt to significant life changes or stressful events. These can be temporary or more prolonged, depending on the person and the nature of the adjustment. I approach the sessions with empathy and create a safe, non-judgmental space for the clients to express their feelings and thoughts. Active listening is crucial in understanding their perspective and gaining insight into their struggles. This way, I can help clients pave their way to healing.
Anxiety
Treating anxiety needs to encompass a holistic approach which means therapy session take into consideration multiple factors that can cause someone to feel anxiety. Although anxiety is a natural response to stress, it can become overwhelming and affect your life. In sessions, we will work on identifying coping skills that work for you to manage anxiety in a healthy and adaptive manner. For example, some people may prefer breathing exercises while other chose mindfulness practices to achieve relaxation. We will work together to empower you to feel confident in managing anxiety and live a fulfilling life.
Balance and Personal Growth
Achieving balance and personal growth takes deeper understanding of who we were, who we are, and who we want to be. Understanding and processing emotions effectively is essential for personal growth. We will identify what areas you are seeking to gain balance like learning ways to reduce stress or finding ways to increase levels of self-care. I work on empowering my clients so they can lead more fulfilling lives. I promote self-reflection of actions and encourage my clients to evaluate their progress, identify barriers, and celebrate their wins.
Depression
Depression is and looks different for everyone - it goes beyond than just feeling sad and can evolve to insomnia, eating problems, and hopelessness. Because depression can be complex and layered, I seek to understand my clients' personal experiences and journeys in life without judgment. I support my clients by validating their feelings as they identify negative thoughts that affect their life. Sessions can focus on techniques to reduce depressive symptoms like learning how to challenge negative thoughts and adopt healthier beliefs. Seeking help to manage depression is a courageous step and I am here to help.
Gender and Sexuality
Exploring gender and sexuality requires not compassion, empathy, and respect, but also allowing the clients to feel the autonomy to lead discussions and decisions about their identities. These discussions promote a space to discuss intersectionalities that can be contributing to concerns in the areas of gender and sexuality of individuals. By fostering an environment of cultural humility and gender affirming approaches, I help my clients embrace their authentic selves while navigating the challenges they may encounter in the process.
Relationship Issues
Many individuals seek help to address difficulties in their interpersonal connections whether it is friendships, family, or romantic relationships. Therapy provides a space for clients to safely approach their relationships with no judgment.

The Benefits of Having Artificial Turf Instead of Grass
Everyone prides themselves on green, lush lawns. It looks and feels great when your grass is soft and cushy. The only problem with having a great lawn is that it's really hard to achieve. You need to fertilize, aerate, weed, and mow in order to keep your grass looking nice. Sometimes there are inexplicable brown spots that need to be dug up and redone. A lot of people spend hours on their lawns trying to make it look perfect. There's edging, clipping, and watering that can't be overlooked either. If you're tired of having to put so much time, effort, and money into your lawn it's time to consider artificial turf instead of grass. There are many benefits of having artificial turf instead of grass, and here are just a few.
Save Time
Green grass takes an enormous amount of time to achieve. You'll definitely have to spend time on it every day in order to keep it looking nice. You'll have to be 100% dedicated to your lawn and make sure it gets watered even if you're out of town so that all your hard work doesn't go down the drain. You don't need to worry about that with artificial turf. Your lawn will be green all year long without all the time and effort it takes to achieve it. You'll be able to spend more time with your family instead of with your grass.
Save Money
You'll have to spend some money to install the artificial turf in your yard, but then the expenses stop there. There's no extra money needed to keep your lawn looking nice. Save money by not buying a lawn mower, edger, fertilizer, sod, or grass seeds. Artificial turf needs none of this. If dirt, leaves, or other debris gets on your artificial turf, simply sweep it off when a broom.
Save Water
This is probably the biggest benefit of having an artificial turf lawn. Grass lawns need so much water to keep them looking green. Especially when the weather gets really hot. Some lawns get watered in the morning and the night. Turf is even more practical if you live in an area that doesn't have an abundance of water or has water restrictions. You won't have to worry about setting the timer on your sprinklers any more!
Cost Effective Option
Artificial turf lasts a long time, but if you're wanting to replace your lawn with newer turf you can recycle your old turf. That's the great thing about artificial turf, you'll pay once for it but you can keep using it in different places so you get the most out of it as you can. Put your old turf in dog runs or create garden paths with artificial turf so you don't have to worry about weeds. You can even put turf in a mud or playroom! This makes for easy clean up and it looks really cool!
Summing Up
There are a lot of benefits of having artificial turf instead of grass. Save some water, time and money all while getting the biggest bang for your buck. Spend more time with your family instead of worrying about your lawn! If you're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of money and work it takes to keep your grass looking nice, it's time to seriously consider using artificial turf | eng | ed3fa675-d2a9-4c83-af95-1d992f207787 | https://everythingbackyard.net/the-benefits-of-having-artificial-turf-instead-of-grass/ |
Jessie Murph - If I Died Last Night lyrics
Some things, they're solid
They're built to last
Some things, they fall apart
They break like glass
Sometimes, it's scary what they call love
And how fast what is can turn to what was
Waking up this morning and I'm drunk again
Without you here
Went outside and I lit up a cigarette
And it made me think
Can't stand the thought of
You gΠ΅tting that call
Dropping your phone, running down the hall
Blaming yourself for when shit hit the wall
And drowning my memory in alcohol
If I went to Heaven, it would still be Hell
Without you there
I'm sorry, I hate this
I've never felt so alone
I need you now, so come over
I just want you to knowSome things, they're solid
They're built to last
Some things, they fall apart
They break like glass
Sometimes, it's scary what they call love
And how fast what is can turn to what was
Waking up this morning and I'm drunk again
Without you here
Went outside and I lit up a cigarette
And it made me thinkCan't stand the thought of
You gΠ΅tting that call
Dropping your phone, running down the hall
Blaming yourself for when shit hit the wall
And drowning my memory in alcohol
If I went to Heaven, it would still be Hell
Without you thereI'm sorry, I hate this
I've never felt so alone
I need you now, so come over

The Hirschman Prize is the highest honor of the Social Science Research Council. It recognizes excellence in social and behavioral science in the tradition of Albert O. Hirschman's pioneering research.
The story of the black freedom struggle in America has been overwhelmingly male-centric, starring leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Huey Newton. With few exceptions, black women have been perceived as supporting actresses; as behind-the-scenes or peripheral activists, or rank and file party members. But what about Vicki Garvin, a Brooklyn-born activist who became a leader of the National Negro Labor Council and guide to Malcolm X on his travels through Africa? What about Shirley Chisholm, the first black Congresswoman?
From Rosa Parks and Esther Cooper Jackson, to Shirley Graham DuBois and Assata Shakur, a host of women demonstrated a lifelong commitment to radical change, embracing multiple roles to sustain the movement, founding numerous groups and mentoring younger activists. Helping to create the groundwork and continuity for the movement by operating as local organizers, international mobilizers, and charismatic leaders, the stories of the women profiled in Want to Start a Revolution? help shatter the pervasive and imbalanced image of women on the sidelines of the black freedom | eng | 7573a99e-45ab-4405-83f3-2236b6be5681 | https://www.ssrc.org/publications/want-to-start-a-revolution/ |
Ease Of Movement | Indicator Series
The stock market is full of ups and downs. Prices rise and fall depending on the day. Sometimes it can seem like there is little correlation between the direction of a stock's momentum and day-to-day trading. Investors and stockbrokers who can successfully identify price trends, analyse and interpret the data about that trend, and use it to their advantage stand to maximize exponentially on the value of their trades.
The EOM is a type of oscillator that seeks to measure both momentum and volume using one single tool. The oscillator is derived by calculating the distance that a stock price moves over a certain period of time, then dividing by something called a box ratio, which is a ratio related to trade volume. Therefore, EOM is a measure of both a stock's momentum and its volume.
The EOM indicator is considered an oscillator because it is plotted around a zero line. Where the EOM values fall in relation to the zero line shows information about the strength of a trend. If the value falls above the zero line, then the stock momentum is positive. Conversely, if the value falls below the zero line the stock's momentum is falling. The volume of the box ratio determines if the direction is strong or weak.
How Can I Use the EOM to My Advantage?
When stock pricing is in the midst of a trend, the big question on every trader's mind is how long will the trend last? If you have some idea about the strength of the trend and that the price's direction will continue its forward motion, you can use that information to determine your trading strategy going forward. Understanding the trend's strength allows you to trade more confidently while minimizing the uncertainty of sudden market shifts. To maximize the EOM's effect, it pays to analyse it in conjunction with other technical tools. Employing the EOM oscillator in this manner can help investors not only understand a price trend's strength but also anticipate reversals and divergences down the road.

Saher's Skincare Series: The Best Makeup Cleanser You'll Ever Use
I'm sure you have all heard about the 10-step Korean skincare routine. If you are not familiar with it, let me give you a little rundown. The 10-step Korean skincare involves 10 different steps and types of products that each serve a different and special purpose to healthier and younger skin. They are to be performed in a particular order to prepare and provide your skin with the best nutrients. The 10-step routine involves:
1. Make-up remover and oil cleanser,
2. Water-based cleanser,
3. Exfoliator
4. Toner
5. Essence
6.. Treatments
7. Sheet Masks
8. Eye Cream
9. Moisturizer
10. Sun Protection.
At this point, I'm sure you are all thinking, "You can't expect me to do this every day!" And you don't have to. You don't have to run through the entire routine every single day but there are parts of the routine that should be incorporated into your daily routine. And the first and most essential step is a cleanser! I really cannot emphasize how important it is to cleanse your skin first. Any treatments, masks, serums that you put on your face will not be fully effective unless your skin and pore are clean.
As you can see above, there are two types of cleansers: oil cleanser and water cleanser. They are two separate components and each serves a different use but they are both equally important. The oil-based cleanser is very effective in breaking down make-up and debris on your skin that have accumulated during the day. The Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm from Banila Co is a cult-favorite oil-based cleanser! And for very good reason too!
It has a very creamy, sorbet-like texture that melts instantaneously between your hands as you massage it into you skin. You use a penny-sized portion on dry skin and it immediately begins to dissolve away make-up. This has been hands-down, the most effective make-up cleanser I've ever used! It was absolutely magical how quickly and easily my make-up started clearing off while I massaged it gently on my skin. It is super effective even on eyeliners and water-proof mascaras. It usually takes about 30 seconds to completely clear away all the make-up. And then you only need to gently rinse your face with lukewarm water.
The Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm has immediately climbed to the top of my favorite skincare products of all time! It is so gentle and soothing, while being extremely effective. I highly recommend trying this product if you haven't already. My only regret is not using it sooner! Let me know what you think! | eng | 53af4dba-cf6f-4043-8811-3a8f8ae627de | https://www.strokeofelegance.com/post/saher-s-skincare-series-most-magical-must-have-cleanser |

Some people who adopted a vegetarian or vegan diet for health, ethical, and/or environmental reasons discover that clean meat from animals humanely raised on pasture is a superior, back-to-nature alternative.

In the morning daze, when you're at your most vulnerable
and still easing into the day, nothing beats the feeling
of having someone next to you wrap his arms around you
and make you feel wanted.
Morning sex is like eating chocolate cake for breakfast.
It's decadent, indulgent and comforting. Plus, who doesn't
want to linger in bed just a little longer?
The benefits extend to more than just being uncharacteristically
nice to everyone for the rest of the day. Research shows that
individuals who engage in morning sex are healthier and happier
people. Your post-coital glow that others notice isn't totally bogus. | eng | 9ca86593-8ca6-4cfb-908c-32a465248e7a | http://sexpornerotica.com/great-sex-in-the-morning |
How could we have access to clean water, sustainable food sources and create a just society?
Lachlan McKie is part of a group of researchers considering the challenges of terraforming β or modifying the atmosphere, temperature and ecology of other planets to be habitable like Earth.
These experts, who come from disciplines including science, design, engineering and business, are gathered at the birthplace of the World Wide Web in Switzerland.
While their challenging task sounds like a storyline from a sci-fi movie, it's part of a pilot program run by IdeaSquare at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN), where the exercise is more about encouraging participants to consider how we can improve our own world.
"It's a bunch of people who have very different perspectives on how the world works, and we're trying to figure out what society could be if we didn't have to operate in the framework we're in now," says McKie, who is a PhD candidate in nuclear physics at The Australian National University (ANU).
Participating in Ideasquare is not McKie's first time dealing in high-stakes hypotheticals. As part of his Master of Science (Advanced) in Nuclear Science at ANU, he explored the potential ramifications of Australia pursuing nuclear technologies including reactors and weapons.
"We had to look at how our Asia-Pacific neighbours would respond and whether it might be destabilising in the region," he recalls. "It was quite a holistic education. I wasn't just doing maths and science for three years, but also a lot of policy and international relations."
Growing up in Orange in regional New South Wales, McKie always had an interest in science, but his mum and dad made sure he and his siblings were as well-rounded as possible.
"We did a lot of hiking, we did sports and Scouts, we had to have jobs. You weren't just academic, you had to work in some aspect of society to make the overall system work."
Although McKie originally started out studying mechanical engineering through the Australian Defence Force Academy, he switched to physics in his third year.
"I swapped to physics because I liked the more open-ended questions," he says.
After leaving the army, McKie tried a few different jobs β including managing a science lab at a high school β but struggled to find his niche.
"In the back of my mind, I knew I had more to contribute and wanted to get back to learning more about that the world."
His original plan was to study astrophysics, but an out-of-the-blue email from the nuclear science department at the ANU Research School of Physics changed his path.
"I walked in the doors one day, had a look around the labs and have never really left," McKie says. "It's been such an amazing experience; I've never even had to think about leaving."
"It's a very, very exciting time to be a nuclear physicist here."
ANU PhD candidate Lachlan McKie
Having now spent time at CERN β "the Holy Grail of physics" β home of the Large Hadron Collider, and at the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility on the ANU campus, McKie is in the privileged position of being able to compare the two particle accelerators.
"I don't think that you can say one is objectively better than the other," he says diplomatically. "At ANU, we do very different research, and I feel like we're the only place in the world where you can do some of those things."
McKie currently works as a member of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics. As part of his doctorate, he is building radiation detection systems that may be able to assist in the search for dark matter, which scientists think could make up 85 per cent of our universe, while also having potential applications in other fields including medical imaging and environmental sciences.

"There are definitely ups and downs β experimental physics is difficult," McKie says. "I've learned that the laws of physics don't always hold when you're building your own apparatus, but we do hope to have things up and running in the next year."
While McKie would like to complete a postdoctoral fellowship overseas, his goal is to return to Australia afterwards.
"It seems like our nuclear industry is at a turning point, with the building of the submarines," he says. "It's a very, very exciting time to be a nuclear physicist here, and I hope to be a part of it."
From studying life beyond the stars to unravelling the mystery of how life on Earth became possible, a day in the life of a nuclear scientist is anything but ordinary.

The more "important," the more engaging
The more "important," the more engaging
In 2011, I went to the Verizon store to swap my AT&T iPhone 4 for a Verizon iPhone 4. The sales person got pushy. "But did you know this Motorola has a better camera? It has a swappable battery! It's cheaper and easier to use." He pitched me on CPU and GPU power, screen size, and expandable storage.
The sales pitch and pushiness was annoying.
That afternoon, I emailed sjobs@apple.com with the subject line "Verizon Needs Help." In the morning, I had a response in my inbox. "Thanks" it read. Tim Cook was CC'd. Later that afternoon, I received an email from Verizon's COO apologizing for my in-store experience.
I've only been back on Twitter for a month, but one thing I've already noticed: the more "important" somebody is, the more likely they are to engage and respond to me as an internet nobody.
And I've also noticed the inverse. The people who smell like they're yearning for a blue check mark? Crickets.
People try to emulate other successful people. Sometimes, this means guessing that "successful people don't have the time to talk to people with less than 100 followers."

INDIA: March 14 marks the birth anniversary of one of the greatest scientists of all time, Albert Einstein. His contributions to the world of physics are immeasurable, and his ideas have influenced the way we understand the universe around us.
His theories on relativity and the nature of light have changed the way we think about time and space. On this special day, it is only fitting to celebrate the life and legacy of this brilliant scientist.
Young Einstein: The early years
- Advertisement -
Einstein was born in 1879 in the German city of Ulm. As a child, he showed an exceptional interest in math and science, but he struggled in school, which led his teachers to believe he was not intelligent.
However, he persevered and eventually went on to study physics at the Polytechnic in Zurich. After graduation, he worked as a patent clerk in Switzerland, where he had ample time to pursue his own research and ideas.

It was during this time that Einstein developed his theory of relativity, which fundamentally changed our understanding of space and time.
The Theory of Relativity: A new understanding of time and space
According to Einstein, time is not an absolute concept but rather depends on the observer's point of view.
- Advertisement -
This means that time can appear to pass more slowly for objects in motion than for objects at rest. This theory was groundbreaking and challenged long-held beliefs in the scientific community.
Einstein's theory of relativity also led to the famous equation E = mc2 , which describes the relationship between mass and energy.
This equation shows that a small amount of mass can be converted into a large amount of energy, which has practical applications in nuclear power and weapons.
Noble Prize

Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, but it was not for his work on relativity. Instead, he was recognized for his contributions to theoretical physics, particularly for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe and has been recognized as one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Despite this, Einstein did not receive a Nobel Prize for his work on relativity.
A Pacifist and Humanitarian: Einstein's impact on society
He also made significant contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that explores the behavior of subatomic particles.
Aside from his contributions to science, Einstein was also a champion of peace and human rights. He was an outspoken pacifist and opposed the use of nuclear weapons. He also fought against racism and discrimination and was an advocate for the rights of minorities and oppressed groups.
It is also worth noting that Einstein did play a role in the early days of Israel's history. In 1948, he was offered the presidency of Israel, but he declined the offer, stating that he lacked the necessary experience and skills for the job.
Einstein's legacy lives on today, both in the scientific community and in popular culture. His name has become synonymous with genius, and his image is instantly recognizable.
Einstein has inspired countless people to pursue careers in science and has left an indelible mark on the world. His birth anniversary is a reminder of the incredible impact that one person can have on the world.
His ideas and theories have shaped our understanding of the universe, and his humanitarian efforts have inspired generations. As we celebrate his life and legacy, we can only hope to continue to build upon his work and strive to make the world a better place.

An Easter Game
Looking for an Easter activity to do with your children's classes? Try an Easter Egg Hunt and revise colours and numbers at the same time.
If necessary, check that the children remember the names of the colours they've learnt up to that point, then give out the outline of an Easter egg and ask the children to colour it. Make sure the children understand that the eggs must be coloured with one colour only. The choice of colour can be left up to the children, or you can call the name of each child and say a colour β Tamara, blue. Stefano, red. If you have a very small class, give each child more than one egg to colour, or add some of your own. You are aiming to finish with different numbers of each colour egg β three red, six yellow, four pink and so on.
As they finish colouring, get them to place their eggs somewhere around the room. The eggs mustn't be hidden from sight, but can be in slightly non-obvious places β for example on the floor, or propped up on someone's bag.
Divide them into groups with as many children in each group as there are colours and give each child a colour to search for. They have two minutes to count how many eggs of that colour there are in the room. They then report back to their groups.
Use a toy rabbit to introduce the chant :I'm the Easter Bunny, Come and play with me. How many (red) eggs can you see?
In turns, each group answers while the others chant. For each colour egg that they've counted correctly they get a point (but don't confirm the answers or reveal the points until the last group has answered).
If the children have already learnt how to record numerical information graphically, they can then record the results in the form of a bar chart or pie chart.

"So, memory, history is your best defense against manipulation. When you remember the way things were, you can fight to preserve them. When you no longer remember, when 'it was always this way,' then you're at their mercy."
"So, with that in mind, it's worth remembering that 100 years ago Memphis was one of the richest, best organized cities in the country. It had a booming economy, it had beautiful municipal parks, a lot of them, more than 100. It had one of the most modern sanitation systems in the world."
"But not anymore."
"Yesterday, authorities finally found Eliza Fletcher's body. She'd been thrown like garbage behind an abandoned building in a seedy part of town. The whole story could not be more shocking or more horrible."
"But here's what may be the scariest part. Some people didn't seem particularly shocked or horrified by it. In the hours after Eliza Fletcher's disappearance, Biden voters on social media seemed to dismiss the crime on racial grounds. Why are we paying so much attention to the kidnapping of an attractive privileged white woman? That's racist! Others seemed to blame Fletcher for the atrocity committed against her. Why was she jogging at that hour anyway? In Memphis? Come on."
"The point they were making was clear. Everyone knows the rules. Eliza Fletcher violated those rules. You can't go outside at certain hours in certain places in America, obviously, and if you do, if you violate the rules, you run the risk of being raped and murdered. That's how things work in this country, so adapt, accept it, move on."
"An American citizen should be able to live or walk anywhere in America without being raped or murdered for it, period. That is the baseline requirement for civilization, it's called order."
"But increasingly, that is not what we have. What we have is a country where you just can't go some places. You're not wanted there and it's too dangerous for you to go. Most people accept this by default, but we should never accept this under any circumstances."
"To accept something is to concede that it is more or less normal. Once we acknowledge something as normal, whether it's children being castrated in the name of 'trans rights' or women being murdered by rapists who should be in prison but weren't because 'equity,' once we accept that as normal, we are stuck with it forever.

12 Helpful Tips For Doing agricultural credit
This is a bit of an odd subject. While the typical credit card holder has to know basic math, they often are unaware that they have to take time to complete an application. Some applications are time-consuming, and others can be completed with a quick glance at a bank's website. If you're a farmer, we think you might appreciate this fact.
There are many different applications, each with a different number of pages that must be filled out and submitted. A farmer might think that a simple "application" is a small enough thing that they can simply fill it out online. But most applicants will be required to complete a few other applications before even getting to the credit application.
It's also a good idea to have some type of application software. A farmer can use the free Google forms application to apply for this type of credit, and the form can include fields for things like how many people need to be on the farm to get the credit, whether or not the farmer can use the credit to buy a tractor to use on the farm, and so forth.
There are so many factors that go into the decision of whether or not your farmer actually wants to use the credit, but one of the items that are often overlooked is the possibility of getting a big discount. If you only have a few farms in your area, then you may want to consider applying for this type of credit to avoid having to pay the down payment. And you won't have to pay it all back just because you happen to be a farmer.
So, when you use the credit, it will work the same as it does with the farmer's credit. If you can't afford the down payment, then you are going to have to borrow from a bank. Banks dont lend money, they lend money against your credit card. The bank needs your credit card to do this.
So if you have a farm, you are going to have to apply for this agricultural credit. That is because the banks will only lend money against your credit card. You, on the other hand, are going to have to apply for a loan to pay back the down payment. When you apply for a loan to pay back the down payment, you will have the option of using your own collateral.
This is a little bit of a controversial idea that is rarely discussed, but it is not as simple as applying for a loan. The bank will first want to see that you have collateral that can easily be used to pay back the down payment. This can be a piece of land, a house, your car, or even a small business. Once the bank has this information, they will ask you to send them your collateral.
It's not that simple. The banks have to be able to see your collateral and they have to be able to see that you have collateral. Otherwise they can't guarantee that you will be able to pay back the loan. This is why you need to get a second opinion, which of course is usually from a lawyer.
Yes, you need to get a second opinion, but most of the time, the first one is going to be wrong. If you get a second opinion, you want to get the best one, which will probably be a lawyer. But if you get the best one, then you will not have to go through the whole tedious process again, unless you decide to pay the down payment in installments.
I'm actually surprised that the lawyers are still in business. It's always the same story with all financial matters: They never work. A friend of mine works on a project for a real estate agency and he always wanted to be a lawyer. He told me he got as far as getting a law degree, but then his life took a turn and he had to stop working on | eng | 3c2c451a-2de8-4c2c-b8db-2f30b9146c8f | https://saintsshopfootballonline.com/agricultural-credit/ |
Bad Breath: What are the underlying causes, and what to do about it?
We've all been there. You're petting your dog and all of to see the vet.
The causes of bad breath can range from mild to severe, which is why it's important to know what you're dealing with.
Some of the most common causes of bad breath are:
If you're not brushing your dog's teeth on a daily basis, tartar and plaque will build up over timeleading to bad breath or something more serious. The problem is that many owners don't know that their dog has gum disease: Up to 80% of dogs have gum disease and only 20% of owners know about it.
Getting your dog to the vet for regular check-ups and professional teeth cleanings can keep you and your vet up-to-date about your dog's oral health and help prevent dental issues in the future.
If your vet has ruled out any oral infections, then the next most common cause of bad breath could be poor gut health. Make sure that you're feeding your dog a healthy, well-balanced diet along with a good quality probiotic to help combat this issue.
Another great way to stay on top of your dog's oral hygiene and freshen their breath is to get a dental treat that works. A daily dental treat can help get in between your dog's teeth and scrape away the harmful bacteria that cause bad breath and gum disease. One of the best dental treats on the market is Yummy Combs.
Not only does Yummy Combs have the most scraping surfaces to floss and scrub away plaque and tartar, but it also focuses on supporting your dog's digestive health too!

When Did Homosexuality Become Legal in Nz
Sodomy or sodomy became illegal in New Zealand when the country became part of the British Empire in 1840 and passed English law punishing male homosexual acts with death. The Offences Against the Person Act 1867 changed the penalty for sodomy from execution to life imprisonment. In 1893, the law was expanded so that any sexual intercourse between men constitutes sexual assault, even consensual. Punishments included life imprisonment, forced labour and flogging. Sex between women was never prohibited by law in New Zealand, but all intercourse, including heterosexual intercourse, remained before the 1986 law. [3] In 1961, penalties for male homosexual activity were reduced, reflecting changing attitudes towards homosexuality. Soon after, the Doric Society and later the Wolfenden Society were founded to advocate for the legalization of homosexual males. In 1968, a petition signed by 75 prominent citizens calling for changes to the law was submitted to Parliament (and rejected by Parliament). [3] In New Zealand, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people have been legal to serve in the military since the New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993 ended most forms of discrimination against lesbian, gay, and bisexual people in the workplace. New Zealand`s military leaders are not opposed to ending discrimination through military service. [35] [36] [37] The Royal New Zealand Navy and the New Zealand Police are among many government agencies that have adopted "pro-homosexual" policies. [38] After several unsuccessful attempts, same-sex relations were decriminalized in 1986. In 2018, the government passed a law allowing men convicted of homosexual crimes before decriminalization to have their records expunged, and there was also an official apology.
By the way, female same-sex sexual activity has always been technically legal, much like in the UK. When religious settlers brought Christianity to the islands, they also brought with them the idea that homosexuality was a sin, and later New Zealand passed the British law criminalizing same-sex sexual activity. In the `60s and `70s, gay liberation groups formed and gained strength β a catalytic event was when a female academic was denied entry to the United States because she was gay. Gender reassignment surgery is legal in New Zealand. [42] A person can change their name and legal sex on official documents, including birth certificates, if they can provide medical evidence that they have "acquired a physical conformation consistent with their gender identity." [43] Originally, this was only available to people who had undergone genital reconstruction. However, in June 2008, the Family Court ruled that full sex reassignment surgery is not always necessary to meet this legal threshold. [43] LGBT discrimination is illegal in New Zealand in some contexts. In March 2017, representatives of the Intersex Trust Aotearoa New Zealand participated in an Australian and New Zealand "Darlington Declaration" by intersex community organizations and others. [67] The Declaration calls for legal reforms, including criminalizing deferrable intersex medical interventions on children, ending legal gender classification, protection from discrimination and harmful practices, and better access to peer support. [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] In July 2012, a bill was withdrawn from the ballot by Labor MP Louisa Wall proposing to define marriage as inclusive regardless of gender. The Marriage Amendment Act (definition of marriage) was adopted on 29 August 2012 in first reading by 80 votes in favour, 40 against (with one abstention). Preliminary reports show broad support for same-sex marriage both in Parliament (particularly Prime Minister John Key)[25] and among the general public, with May 2012 polls showing 63% support.
[26] In December 2012, former Governor General Catherine Tizard performed alongside New Zealand singers Anika Moa, Boh Runga and Hollie Smith and Olympian Danyon Loader in an online video campaign in support of same-sex marriage. [27] The bill passed second and third readings by 77 votes to 44 and came into force on April 19, 2013. However, same-sex marriages were not contracted until August, when the law came into effect. [28] The good news is that it`s pretty fantastic. New Zealand is definitely a world leader when it comes to LGBT rights β even ahead of its close neighbour, Australia (we bet New Zealanders are happy about that!). It`s always interesting to learn more about the country, which is why we`ve put together this guide to LGBT rights in New Zealand so gay travellers are informed before they leave. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2013, when a private member`s bill passed by a majority. There was also overwhelming public support. It also meant that same-sex couples could adopt.
Gay pride events are legal in New Zealand and were first held in the 1970s. [113] The Hero Parade, the centerpiece of the Hero Festival in Auckland, was held annually between 1992 and 2001. Parades were usually attended by more than a hundred thousand people (and at their peak up to two hundred thousand). [114] The Festival of Heroes continues to this day, mostly without a flagship parade. However, in February 2013, Auckland hosted a pride parade, the Auckland Pride Festival. [115] The Homosexuality Law Reform Act, enacted by the Governor General on July 11, 1986 and coming into force on August 8, decriminalized sexual relations between men 16 years of age and older. Men who have consensual sex with each other would no longer be prosecuted and sentenced to prison. | eng | 09864ae7-1e87-44d8-a261-3a7ebc217574 | http://mes.yonsei.ac.kr/?p=10905 |

#179having a query named like a folder will show the query on startup but open the folder12 days ago
#179having a query named like a folder will show the query on startup but open the folder12 days ago
If you run notmuch+maildir and have a query named like a folder, on startup the message counts will come from the query, but if you try to open the query aerc will load the folder instead (and show the folder's counts as well)
However, this is currently super slow because the dirlist is redrawn so many times and it's an external command. A better approach would be to add a template function such as 'replace' and map it to strings.ReplaceAll:
{{- .Folder | replace "[Gmail]/" "" -}} \
Or the filepath.Base function could be an option, too.
What do you think?
This solution only rewrites the display name, but leaves the actual name (the one that can be used with commands like :cf) the same. I think that actually makes the situation a bit worse, because it just hides whatever is underneath. My goal is to be able to completely remap the folder so if I have a [GMAIL]/label -> label remap, then all aerc commands would operate on "label" instead of [GMAIL]/label.
will create a "flat" structure (if you don't specify the Inbox path then your Inbox will go to ~/Maildir and all the other folders will go to ~/.mail/imaptest and any further nesting is done as expected). I do not know how isync knows this. Maybe it automatically flattens any subfolder within inbox? | eng | c50cb71d-c55e-4bf6-8db7-f9deef95298a | https://todo.sr.ht/~ferdinandyb |
What to Look for in Epoxy Resin for Crafts
We're going to go over what you should look for before you buy epoxy resin for your crafts and artwork.
Flow Speed: Flow speed or viscosity is as it sounds. It's the speed at which the epoxy resin flows as it's coming out of its container. For most crafts, you want epoxy resin with high flow speed.
Open Time: The open time is the amount of time you have to create after you've mixed the epoxy and hardener. For DIY projects, you want a longer open time. You have a lot of work to do, you need that extra time. You don't want it to start to dry while you're still creating.
Curing Time: The curing time is the time the epoxy resin takes to dry. The amount of open time determines the curing time. The shorter the open time, the faster it dries. It should be dry within 24 to 48 hours. The longer the open time, the longer it takes to dry. Longer curing times can last up to an entire week.
Application: What's your project? What do you plan on making? These questions lead to the material you'll be using. You want the epoxy resin you use to work with the material, from wood to ceramics.
Durability: Durability is important no matter what you're using epoxy resin for. Once it's dried, you shouldn't be able to damage it with little effort. Like anything else, you want it to last. This includes looking for epoxy that's UV-resistant. The sun can yellow epoxy easily. If you plan on having your artwork or craft outside for any period, you want a resin that's going to protect it from the sun.
Transparency: Unless you plan on dying the epoxy resin, you want a clear resin. And when you want a clear epoxy, you want a clear You should see through it once it's dried. The cheaper resins advertise that they give you a clear coating but it's often far from the truth.
Safety: Safety Is important in any product you buy, including the epoxy resin. We prefer non-toxic epoxy. Epoxy resin is loaded with chemicals and you breathe in a lot of them when you're working with it. So, check the ingredients and research the chemicals. Compare the ingredients to other brands. Do your due diligence.
Have you been wondering what the big deal about epoxy resin has been in recent years? It's not new but it's made a huge boom in the craft world in the last ten years. Here are the best epoxy resins for crafts.
You can use it on almost any surface; canvas, ceramics, concrete, granite, paper, precious stones, rocks, and wood.
It leaves a crystal clear coating that's also hard as a rock. It's super durable. You can't damage anything with this epoxy very easily.
The resin is self-leveling and self-degassing. It's also UV-resistant. Sun rays won't break down the resin or turn it yellow.
A big bonus is that it's odor-free but you still have to use it in a well-ventilated area.
The one to one mix ratio is easy and foolproof.
The company does testing to make sure the resin is compatible with other craft pigments.
Once you've mixed the epoxy and hardener, you get 40 minutes to create before it hardens.
It's BPA-free and VOC-free.
Art 'N Glow is made in the United States.

Tracheostomy
Tracheostomy
TRACHEOSTOMY
A tracheostomy is a hole in the neck that is created just below the Adam's Apple. It punctures the trachea (or windpipe) and is created in order to insert a Tracheostomy Tube. A tracheostomy tube can be used to deliver mechanical breaths. It is also used to reduce the chance that a patient will choke on their own saliva and develop pneumonia.
Tracheostomy tubes are more comfortable for patients who require prolonged mechanical ventilation than tubes inserted through the nose or mouth (endotracheal). Tracheostomy tubes are shorter than endotracheal tubes. The shorter tube can allow more air to reach the lungs and make breathing easier for patients with very severe lung disease.
The term percutaneous (through the skin) describes the most common method for inserting a tracheostomy tube in the critical care unit. This is done at the bedside under anaesthetic by a specialy trained surgeon. A bronchoscope is used to look at the inside of the trachea while the tracheostomy is being done. Occasionally, tracheostomies are performed in the operating room through a small incision in the neck.
The top of the windpipe has a thin piece of cartlidge or tissue called the epiglottis. The epiglottis normally closes when we swallow to prevent saliva and food from entering our lungs. When a patient has a breathing tube inserted through the nose or mouth (endotracheal tube), the epiglottis is kept in a permanently open position. This allows saliva to enter the lungs (called aspiration).
All breathing tubes have a donut shaped balloon located around the outside of the tube (like a life preserver), called a cuff. When the cuff is inflated, air can only enter and leave the lungs through the inside of the tube. When a tube is inserted through the epiglottis (such as an endotracheal tube), the cuff must be inflated at all times to prevent aspiration of saliva. If the patient is on a mechanical ventilator, inflation of the cuff also keeps the mechanical breath from leaking out around the tube, keeping the air in the lung.
Speech is produced when exhaled air passes through the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate. The vocal cords are located at the top of the trachea near the epiglottis. If the cuff of a breathing tube is inflated, exhaled air will leave through the inside of the tube, and never reach the vocal cords. Thus, patients cannot create sound or speech when they have a breathing tube in place with an inflated cuff.
Tracheostomy tubes are inserted below the vocal cords, and also have inflatable cuffs. Because a tracheostomy tube is below the vocal cords and epiglottis, the cuff can be deflated if the patient is able to control the opening and closing of their epiglottis when they swallow (or able to "gag"). If the patient with a tracheostomy requires mechanical ventilation, the cuff will usually need to be inflated to prevent loss of the mechanical breath around the tube. As long as the cuff needs to be inflated, speech is not possible.
Patients requiring long term ventilation, who are able to control the opening and closing of their epiglottis, may be able to tolerate periods with the cuff deflated, allowing speech. | eng | 9307adbf-9a18-4142-82a4-1fad4758e4b2 | https://www.lhsc.on.ca/critical-care-trauma-centre/tracheostomy |

This is coolbert:
French submarine contract with Australia I had thought was a done deal. But that turned out to be not so.
French Shortfin Barracuda class no, Japanese Soryu class YES! Next generation Australian submarine force a $60 billion dollar contract with the French for the long term now in abeyance. The French having already invested heavily in the project and wanting compensation.
FRENCH NOT HAPPY!
From WIZARD through Sharkhunters:
"Australia will be forced to make multi-million-dollar compensation payments to France if the future submarine program is terminated, a break payment of β¬250 million euros (about $404 million) would apply if the French delivered a detailed submarine design and Australia then chose to go no further."
"If Australia accepted its first completed submarine but decided to cancel future orders, the Commonwealth would have to pay the French company about $355 million. The submarine project needed to be organized so that French translations were not just into English, but Australian English, and for employees 'to speak a common language in cultural terms'"
"The French company was accused of giving Taiwan $400,000,000 so they would buy subs from them and gave $100,000,000 to China to keep them happy. So, one wonders if the Australian Federal Police will show any interest in the deal between France and Australia. The first of the new French-designed submarines are not due to be in service until the mid-2030s." | eng | 966bd288-a5c6-4633-90a9-384c6c3d0215 | https://militaryanalysis.blogspot.com/2019/05/vernacular.html |
Searching for All
Jack wonders how he can do a search for a certain word or phrase and, in one step, highlight all the cells containing it so that he can cut or copy them and paste them elsewhere.
Selecting the cells containing the text you want to use is rather easy; you can use the standard Find and Replace feature to do it. Follow these steps:
Click Find All. The dialog box is expanded to show all the matches that were located.
Press Ctrl+A. This selects all those cells that were found.
Click Close to dismiss the dialog box.
That's it. As long as you didn't click on Match Entire Cell Contents in step 4, Excel selects all the cells that contain the text you specified in step 3. You can, at that point, apply formatting to the cells, if desired.
You could, of course, use conditional formatting to dynamically format cells that contain the text you want to highlight. All you need to do is set up a condition that uses "Text Contains" as the test. This won't, of course, select all the cells that contain the text, but it will highlight them so you can pick out where they are.
You could also use a macro to select all the cells that contain the desired text. The following is a rather simple one that accomplishes the task:
Sub selCellbasedonValue()
Dim c As Object
Dim u As Range
Dim v As Range
Dim sInpt As String
Set u = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
sInpt = InputBox("Enter the search text")
If sInpt > "" Then
For Each c In u
If Instr(LCase(sInpt),LCase(c.Value)) > 0 Then
If v Is Nothing Then
Set v = Range(c.Address)
Else
Set v = Union(v, Range(c.Address))
End If
End If
Next
v.Select
Set v = Nothing
End If
Set u = Nothing
End Sub
There is a problem with selecting cells that you need to recognize, however-if the cells are non-contiguous, you cannot cut or copy the cells. If you try, you'll get an error message indicating that the command cannot be used on multiple selections. The easiest way to copy cell contents to a different location is to, again, use a macro:
When you select a range of cells and run this macro, you are asked to specify what you are searching for (case is important) and an address of where you want to copy it. The macro then finds all cells that contain that value and copy both their address and the cell value to the starting address you specified. The macro doesn't do a lot of error checking; it will overwrite information if you specify a target address that has information in it already. In addition, if you specify a target address that is within the range you are searching, the macro may run infinitely. You should definitely specify a target that is outside of the range being searched. | eng | cc504007-d8e3-410c-8c0f-4d0c848c4649 | https://www.techshadows.com/searching-for-all/ |

CBDCβIs it going to be used in elections? Or leading to another demonetisation?
Shaktikanta Das, the governor of the Reserve Bank of India, had so far maintained that India is not ready for a digital currency, but suddenly he has announced that from November 1, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will be in use. These will be of two types: CBDC (Wholesale) and CBDC (Retail). CBDC (W) is for interbank and intra-bank RBI/treasury transactions. In 2 days, there were Rs 275 Crore transactions. Retail will start soon. This is supposed to be a pilot phase. Only three public sector banks have been authorized to deal in CBDC, while the number of private banks authorised to do the same is six!
βThough CBDC is completely different from the cryptocurrency used for gambling, terrorist transactions and Hawala, CBDC is the digital rupee with the same value as the rupee. Already applications like Yono SBI, Paytm, Google Pay etc are available for online digital transactions without having to deal with a digital rupee.
βThen why suddenly do we need a digital Rupee? Some are saying India has become number one in the world by introducing CBDC even before China and the G20 countries. Should we be number one to join in the wrong things? In the Human Development Index, Happiness Index and Press Freedom Index we are at the bottom among the countries in this world.
βThere are many questions that the RBI and the Union Govt must answer.
How can you introduce Digital Currency without amending the RBI Act? How much Digital Currency will be authorized? Who does that? Will its value always remain the same?
How safe is the technology? We have everyday complaints with the UPI platforms. Experts say anything digital can be hacked. In 2010, a person hacked cryptocurrency. The US and the CIA were unable to hack the blockchains and get details. So how safe is CBDC?
With almost one-third illiterate population, how can you introduce a currency that most can't use? Only10% rich and 20% middle class will be comfortable using it. What about the rest 70%?
Is this Govt which has been pushing digitization based on the cashless alliance supported by the World Economic Forum going to remove all paper currencies over a period of time? If so, who will be affected? Is it not the poor?
Will it help hoarders to keep their money in digital form? Even though RBI may know who has it, RBI cannot make it public. It is not even ready to disclose the written-off account borrowers who have booked in the name of an oath of surety.?
When no major country except small countries like the Bahamas has tried digital currency and allowed crypto, why India is in a hurry to switch over to CBDC?
RBI itself has given details of the dangers. What made it change its stand? Arm twisting?
The Govt announced that it will charge a 30% tax on cryptocurrencies; how much it has collected as tax? Is it not legalising an illegal transaction? Will it not lead to a lot of loss for the investors over a period of time?
What will happen to the foreign exchange? How many countries are ready for CBDC? Will it not lead to a foreign exchange crisis over a period of time?
Finally, is the digital rupee going to be used by candidates for distributing money to the voters in elections, while the election commission will watch over helplessly?
The rush and secrecy in announcing the digital rupee lead to many more questions that the union government represented by the Finance Minister and RBI must answer. We need answers from both the government and the RBI immediately.

The Evangelic Tapes 001 (Audio)
The Evangelic Tapes 001 (Audio)
Open-air preaching or street preaching by definition is the act of evangelizing a religious faith in public places. It is an ancient method of proselytizing a religious or social message and has been used by many cultures and religious traditions, but today it is usually associated with evangelical Protestant Christianity.
Supporters of this approach note that both Jesus and many of the Old Testament prophets often preached about God in public places. It is one of the oldest approaches to evangelismβ¦
[00:00:09] Because that is where he brought me. Over here. This is where God has me at right here. And he's moving people around, to be honest with you. There's a lot of people.
[00:00:13] What do you mean by that? People moving?
[00:00:15] Preachers like street preachers. He's moving pieces everywhere to where people can be at different places, like different locations, not just in Miami, but different areas. New York, California.
[00:00:26] And why does he want street preachers?
[00:00:28] Street preachers is more so. It's so that sinners, that's where they're at right in the streets right. The party lifestyle. That's what they're that's what they're seeking. So if they were to hear the message. Then one day, hopefully they can repent. You know what the sign is just basically so that they can see it with their eyes. And when they see the name Jesus Christ and he came to save sinners, well, then maybe it'll resonate with them and be like they'll think about it when they get home. They're like, "Hey, you know, I might be a sinner", you know, let me see if I can do some, scripture or some studying, to see if I can who Jesus Christ is and Jesus Christ will reveal himself to anybody however he pleases. You know, we're just here to plant a seed and that's it. That's what that's what the mission is. And hopefully it is being done like that. I hope it is. I don't know, to be honest with you, because I don't ask these people once they once once the message goes out. But we'll see. We'll see. So religion is two things. It's two different things, religion and Christianity. So religion is a man made right? Man made religion. Jesus Christ didn't create no religion. When he came to this earth, he walked with his disciples. He chose the disciples. And he told Peter that that he was going to build his church on that rock. And then and that's the true church with within the person, you know, it's within you. So it's not a manmade temple. And that's what people out here get. Get it confused between Christianity and religion. It's two different things. And people think that you should go to a church. If you go to a church, you got to go to church, you know, to be saved. No, that's false. That's false, man. It don't work like that, man. It's not. It's not a manmade temple. I mean, you can go to church and fellowship with other believers if they're really, really true Christians. But if they're not, man, you got to be careful. Because if the Bible teaches one thing and then they're twisting the doctrine to another to to make it understand on their own understanding, then it's gonna the blind leading the blind, they're all going to land, you know what I'm saying? They're going to land in the ditch in a pit, all of them. But if you got Jesus Christ as a as a shepherd, then you should be all right, you know? I mean, Jesus Christ is never going to going to lead you astray. He's always going to lead you on a strike on a narrow path. You know, I try to do it every day, bro, but sometimes I feel like, man, it's a spiritual thing we're in, bro. A spiritual warfare we're in. So basically, you know, the attacks come, you know, the enemy will attack. And if you're a Christian, if you're a true Christian, if you're being persecuted for your faith, then it's a good sign. But if you're not being persecuted, then that just tells you that you got to look into something you know, or work in something in the with Jesus Christ or get right with Jesus Christ, you know, and some way in your life or whatever. In your life, basically. That's it. Just just trying to fellowship with other believers and trying to get a good relationship with people, you know, different people. It don't matter who it is, as long as they are willing to accept the message. You know, I mean, I'm not going to judge nobody. I don't judge nobody, bro. I mean, it's just if people want to accept the message and they want to hear who Jesus Christ is and and he's able to transform them, and it's not an overnight thing. It's a it's a it's a process. You know, every day, you know, if you're living in sin and your sin is not going to disappear, like all of a sudden it's a process. But God, eventually he gets it done. You know, he the power of the Holy Spirit. Eventually, little by little, he'll start pruning the sin out of your system. So at one point, mine was fornication, okay? And I thought I would never be able to get away from that, you know, because sleeping around women, you know. Oh, man, that's man's weakness right there. So I thought I never could, but eventually he got it done. It's a testimony...because once Jesus Christ transformed somebody's soul, man or somebody, then then they feel that they have an obligation to witness what Jesus Christ has done for their life. You know what I'm saying? God sees it as whenever you come to repentance, true repentance, then you're obligated to witness, you know, about what he's done in your life. Well, the ones that are disregarding or just scoffing and mocking, those are the ones that they don't they don't have a complete knowledge of who Jesus Christ is because they haven't read the Bible, and if they have read the Bible, they haven't like got too deep into it or where they pray before they open it. So where Jesus Christ can can reveal to them the hidden treasure of what it really is, the word, you know.
[00:04:57] How do you feel standing out here?
[00:04:59] Um, it feels. It feels good. It feels good. I mean, if. If it lands on good ears, it brings joy to my heart. But if it. If people are just scoffing and all this. Yeah. It's sometimes it gets a little discouraging, you know, But eventually, you know, it's all good, man. I mean, you just got to pray for them and hopefully they come to a knowledge of the truth before it's too late and that's it. But people people will read the Bible. But that doesn't mean that that that is transforming their soul. You know, some people can read it. I mean, the devil knows the Bible, too. He'll quote you scripture left and right. It all depends on how people take it. They have to be willing to to to change their habits, their sinful lifestyle, because they're just reading it, just to read it. And then they go off and keep on sinning. There there's no conversion. But whenever you try and you want to leave that sinful lifestyle behind, then that's where God starts working in a person. It's because everybody works different, man. The God works in people in different ways. You know, it's not just all the same. It's different ways. And and it's crazy, bro, because, I mean, you probably pass by me and I never seen you before. I just straight up, just talk, talk, talk and whoever it lands on, and I guess it landed on you, in good ears or must have. Thank God it did something good. It's a good sign. It's a good sign, I guess I would say. And I'm happy, man. It brings joy to my heart, bro, because. I can just imagine if there's people out there that haven't came up to me and told me this, they're just keeping it inside their heart. But hey, you know, one day we'll see. | eng | 81d9ab19-9f57-48d4-aad5-e2edf8dc1011 | https://goldfishmedia.substack.com/p/the-evangelic-tapes-001-audio |

Seagrass evolved back to sea just like the whale
She tried it once: eating seagrass. "Just because I was curious what those turtles like about it." But the blade Thalassia testudinum in other words turtle grass that Fee Smulders put in her mouth could not immediately be called a culinary delicacy. "Unlike seaweed, seagrass is never eaten by humans. Only the seeds are popular in Southeast Asia."
Apart from the taste nothing but praise for Thalassia testudinum, and roughly seventy other seagrass species worldwide. Smulders beams when she talks about the subject. "Maybe I see it a bit as my mission to promote seagrass, yes. Sometimes I see students come in and think: wow, what's interesting about this?' But once they see that swaying underwater greenery, and discover that it is bursting with life in between β crabs, shrimp, fish, rays β the enthusiasm comes soon enough."
As a student at the University of Amsterdam, Smulders was not an immediate fan of seagrass either. "It's less colorful than coral, so it gets less attention. In our first year, we all had to give a presentation about a section from the textbook. I was assigned the topic 'seagrass and seaweed'. One paragraph, there was no more information, and most of it was about seaweed." While they are really two very different groups. "Seaweeds are multicellular algae, quite primitive in form and function, without vascular bundles and a root system. Seagrasses are real plants that, like whales, have evolved back to marine life. They are the only plants that can bloom completely underwater in the sea and spread their seeds." Her own fascination came in her third year of study, during fieldwork in Portugal. "We did experiments there with seagrass β we looked at what happened if you added extra salt or sulphite β and I found it so fascinating that I decided to take a master's degree in marine biology. That summer I obtained my diving license in Thailand."
turtle grazing
Smulders is now a PhD student at Wageningen University doing research on seagrass in a bay near Bonaire. "It grows in the shade, behind coral reefs, and is really a nursery for fish. They grow up in the shelter of the grass. The leaves are as long as your forearm, so that's a great hiding place." In addition, it also serves as food. Not only for the fish, but especially for turtles. They don't call it for nothing turtle grass." And it is that turtle grazing that Smulders is particularly interested in.
"The green turtle, which is the most common species in that area, has been very bad in the past. But in recent decades, their numbers are rising again thanks to conservation projects. At Bonaire, we estimate that the population in the 700-hectare bay now consists of about 500 animals. Those turtles hatch from their eggs, go out into the ocean, float around for a while, return to shore, and then they mainly eat sea grass. They are grazing for up to eight hours a day, which is adding up." However, that success story creates a new problem: overgrazing. "On Bonaire we see that the grazing zone is moving further and further towards the coast, the turtle grass is disappearing. Bad news for the coastal zone β because it is well protected thanks to the dense root network β and for the turtles themselves. They dig, or rather graze, their own seafarer's grave. Because they are so much Thalassia testudinum eat, see another invasive seagrass species Halophila stipulacae his chance. That species seems to increase in places where sea turtles graze a lot, and is smaller than the turtle grass. As a result, it offers less protection for fish. And turtles don't like to eat it."
Floating barrel
To investigate the exact influence of the grazing behavior of the turtles, Smulders conducted various grazing experiments with the help of students. "We mainly compared the seagrass composition inside and outside the cages we installed. Some cages had large openings, so that fish could still get in and turtles couldn't. Other cages were even inaccessible to fish." In general, the biologists spent about 5 hours underwater per fieldwork day. "We brought along a floating barrel to store seagrass samples and a special water-resistant notebook." In addition, they also mounted special 'homemade' cameras on the shells of various turtles. "This way we could immediately see where and how much the sea turtles graze."
During one of those film sessions, not in Bonaire but in the Bahamas, Smulders noticed that the turtles showed very different behavior on the spot. "They were very aggressive towards each other, going hard at boats instead of avoiding them. What turned out? They were fed by tourists, with squid. As a result, they received a lot of protein, they were just like bodybuilders. They had no appetite for seagrass at all." But there was something else going on in the Bahamas, in an area where there were no tourists: the sea turtles lived with tiger sharks. "As a result, they were constantly on their guard, and they never grazed in one place for very long. The sharks influenced turtle behavior."
Smulders would like to do further research into these shark-turtle interactions in the future. "And to the CO2-storage by seagrass, which is gigantic. Did you know that seagrass produces more CO . per square meter2 is stored than by rainforest? It's super productive, and there's very little breakdown. Unless, as in the Mediterranean, boats drop anchor right over a seagrass meadow. Then there is a lot of CO . locally2 free because the seagrass dies."
Seagrass is one of the least protected underwater ecosystems. "That's why I like to act as a seagrass ambassador."

Definition and causes
Granulocytes belongs to the family of the white blood cells and has significant importance for the immune system against infection. Granulocytes can be divided into 3 groups, which neutrophils, NG, is the one. NG play an important role in the early phase of fighting an infection, caused by bacteria.
If measured in the blood a number of NG below a certain threshold is defined as agranulocytosis. By agranulocytosis seen typically reduced production of NG in the bone marrow. I rarely seen the destruction or changes in the distribution of NG with increased accumulation in the spleen.
The reasons for the reduced production, certain forms of Leukemia or toxic effects of ingested drugs such as. gigtpræparater and cellegifte. Similarly, radiation can be the cause.
The reason for the increased destructionmay be a reaction against NG from the immune system triggered by the intake medicine.
Agranulocytosis is extremely rare, and there are about. 30 new cases in Denmark a year.
Symptoms
Classical for the disease is that the symptoms developing rapidly. Since NG is an important part of the immune system, seen by agranulocytosis following characters:
Life-threatening infections with the rapid rise and fall of body temperature.
Palpitations and shortness of breath which may be due sepsis (blood poisoning).
Dizziness.
Ulcers in the mouth and throat.
Precautions and diagnosis
Seeing Monday the above symptoms, while for example. are in chemotherapy or taking certain types gigtmedicin, one should consult a doctor as soon as possible or call after ambulancen in severe cases. The treatment begins as the first, and then takes blood samples and doing a knoglemarvsundersΓΈgelse to confirm the diagnosis.
Discussed
At the hospital you are treated with antibiotics bredspekteret, and being hospitalised efforts a thorough investigation of the disease. We examine the urine and blood for bacteria, so that we can use the correct antibiotic. Mistænker Monday that a drug might be causing the agranulocytosen be Monday, agreed with the doctor to stop the intake of this.
Select and complications
The disease is a life-threatening condition, and early treatment is important. Is agranulocytosis influence of a drug, is forecast good, since the formation of NG in the bone marrow started spontaneously again, when you stop taking the medicine. | eng | 766b7dab-459f-4709-973e-8865292e750d | http://www.healthanddisease.com/english/diseases/the-blood/bone-kasal/agranulocytosis-(acute-neutropenia)/ |

Archetypes and Mythology. Why They Matter Even More So Today | Kristina Dryza | TEDxKaunas 2020
How to think mythically and sense archetypally to better understand our shared humanity, yet honour the diverse ways we live and make meaning. Australian-born Lithuanian Kristina Dryza is recognised as one of the world's top female futurists and is also an archetypal consultant and author. Kristina has always been fascinated by patterns for she feels we are patterned beings in a patterned universe. She writes and speaks about the patterning of seasonal, tidal, lunar and circadian rhythms and their influence on creativity, innovation and leadership. She also explores archetypes and mythology to perceive the patterns in the collective unconscious and their expression within our psyches, society and media. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. | eng | 86980a10-edef-49ee-bba3-c2aa5f8f194b | http://indac.org/blog/archetypes-and-mythology-why-they-matter-even-more-so-today-kristina-dryza-tedxkaunas-2020/ |

Create clusters
A cluster in vSphere is a collection of ESXi hosts configured to share their resources. Clusters are used to enable some of the more powerful features in vSphere, such as High Availability (HA), Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), Fault Tolerance (FT), and vMotion.
The cluster resources are managed by vCenter Server as a single pool of resources. When a host is added to a cluster, the host's resources become part of the cluster's resources. Here is how you can create a cluster using vSphere Web Client:
1. Go to Home > vCenter > Hosts and Clusters. In the inventory, right-click your datacenter and click New Cluster:
2. The New Cluster wizard opens. Type the name for the cluster and select whether you would like enable DRS, vSphere HA, EVC, and Virtual SAN options:
3. After the cluster is created, you need to add ESXi hosts to it. Simply drag and drop ESXi hosts to the cluster object in the inventory: | eng | b91a24a3-fab7-462d-9647-91b485a64022 | https://geek-university.com/create-clusters/ |

Fourth anniversary of Florida exoneration
was arrested for a December 1981 rape, he weighed 125 pounds and stood at 5'5" β not at all like the tall, muscular, 160-pound man the victim had originally described to the police. Despite the mismatched between her description and Dedge, she identified him as her attacker. Due to the misidentification and other unreliable evidence, Dedge would serve 22 years for a crime he didn't commit. Finally exonerated on August 11, 2004, he marks the fourth anniversary of his exoneration today.
Dedge's case underscores not only the fallibility of eyewitness identification, but also the importance of granting access to DNA testing when it can prove innocence and overturn a wrongful conviction. Once the tests are conducted, state laws must also ensure that the new evidence can be heard in court.
It took Dedge five years to obtain access to the DNA testing that proved his innocence, but then It took three more years for his release. Prosecutors argued that the test results were not permissible in court because they had been obtained before a new DNA access law was in place. According to the law, they argued, he had proven his innocence too early.

Trust and OCD
SILVIA CAPRIOGLIO PANIZZA
19.10.2022
Trust in the world, others, and ourselves is fundamental to our lives. Trust is a silent companion, for when we trust, we don't think about it; when trust is in place, we don't usually think about the reasons for our trust, nor do we worry about the possibility of being let down. Trust means not constantly checking that what or whom we trust is going to behave as we believe they will.
At the same time, trust also depends on uncertainty. If we know without a shadow of a doubt that someone is going to perform a certain action, we do not trust: we predict. If we trust, we know there is, in principle, the possibility of something going wrong, but we believe (or we can say: 'we have faith') that it will not. To some extent, we give ourselves over to what or whom we trust. In a completely controlled, completely self sufficient world, trust would have no place. But that's not the world we live in. Instead, we live in a world where we are vulnerable, where uncertainty is our daily bread, and where we need the support and the actions of so much reality and so many people other than ourselves just to live. Trust, as philosopher Annette Baier famously put it, is 'accepted vulnerability'.
In a completely controlled, completely self sufficient world, trust would have no place. But that's not the world we live in.
If trust is so fundamental to our lives, and so entangled with uncertainty and vulnerability, then the more trust is missing, the more disrupted our lives will be. Don't get me wrong: sometimes we need to withdraw trust, and sometimes we distrust for good reason. But we cannot do without it. And, I want to suggest, we cannot do without the substrate of trust in reality that allows us to believe that, more or less, the world is going to function as it should, that we will still be alive tomorrow, that our home is not going to explode when we go out for a walk, that β as any scientist, well, anyone, can tell us β the fact that we stepped on a crack in the pavement is not going to cause a world war.
There are people who lack that kind of trust, and whose lives are held captive by a tragic sequence of worries that the world is not going to function as it should.
There are people who lack that kind of trust, and whose lives are held captive by a tragic sequence of worries that the world is not going to function as it should; worries that are sometimes, indeed often, accompanied by the constantly checking I mentioned above β precisely what trustors don't do.
Among these people are the ones who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. Here I want to talk about OCD in terms of trust in the world (the world: such a big and vague word; I hope fellow philosophers will excuse me, and see why I need to use it because of its breadth and vagueness). Such lack of trust is accompanied by a proliferation of harrowing possibilities in one's mind, which ordinarily just do not occur to people. If we trust that the sun will rise tomorrow, we don't (seriously) think that it may not. Some people with OCD think that it may not. And, often, they feel it's up to them to make sure that it will.
For lack of trust means taking it upon oneself to make sure everything will go as it should. Just as not trusting doctors involves endless internet searches for one's potential disease, so not trusting the world involves trying to control what we really cannot, because the mind in the grip of OCD is tormented by the unpredictable fragility of things, understandably coupled with the overwhelming responsibility to avoid disaster, and because the stakes are too high not to try at least.
What makes OCD and its distrust of the world so hard to overcome is that yes, it is possible that the exact moment after you step on the cracks in the pavement a war will break out.
What makes OCD and its distrust of the world so hard to overcome is that yes, it is possible that the exact moment after you step on the cracks in the pavement a war will break out. It is possible that our home will explode when we go for a walk. And, although there is no known fact to suggest it, it is remotely possible that the sun will not rise tomorrow. All of this torments the OCD sufferer and gives the person in the grip of the obsession a strange sense of rationality. If it's possible, why should I not worry about it, and why should I not try to stop it? The exhausting task of holding the world on one's shoulders is very hard to shake off, when one cannot trust the solidity of reality .
It is possible that the world won't keep its promise: and this is why trust is at stake and not β as some philosophers might suggest here β mere reliance. When you fear that your child may come to harm if you don't comb your hair 100 times, you are not just lacking reliance on your child's body. You are afraid that you will be betrayed by the very ground under your feet.
Trust is not just rational, it is also emotional. So it's no good telling the person with OCD that it's extremely unlikely that they've just been poisoned by eating an apple they touched before washing their hands; it's also no good telling them there is no causal connection between the order in which they place their books and the possibility of a flood in their region. They (in a sense) know all that. But there is still, not only the 'what if' of distrust in their mind, but also the fear in their gut.
Why can't the person affected by OCD take a leap and trust a world which to everyone else presents so much less uncertainty and causes for fear?
Perhaps some of the healing can come just from accepting that trust is what is called for. That uncertainty and vulnerability are real, but they are shared uncertainty and vulnerability.
Perhaps some of the healing can come just from accepting that trust is what is called for. That uncertainty and vulnerability are real, but they are shared uncertainty and vulnerability. To try, like many other individuals, to trust that something will hold us, and accept that we cannot hold all of the world ourselves. For everyone β even the person haunted by OCD β knows that we cannot. And that's part of their torment and its endless repetitions. Trust in the world may come through small tests, but it builds up, although it can be extremely hard even to try. But really, we have no choice: to trust the world is to be at home in it, and since we have no other home, we might as well come in, sit down on the couch, stretch our legs, take a deep breath, and rest for at least a little while.
*A disclaimer: there are many types of OCD according to various classifications. Not all of them involve compulsive behaviour, and not all of them involve magical thinking. In this post I am taking specific types of OCD as examples, and relying mostly on the sorts of examples with which I am most familiar. For more information on the varieties of OCD see e.g. | eng | 2658002d-ad58-489e-8e78-7bd602b4cec6 | https://thinkful.ie/articles/ocd-and-trust |
It's not all about hives and honey
Because people are widely familiar with honeybees, many assume that all bees are social and live in hives or colonies with a queen. In fact, only about 10% of bees are social, and most types don't make honey.
Most bees lead solitary lives, digging nests in the ground or finding abandoned beetle burrows in dead wood to call home. Some bees are cleptoparasites, sneaking into unoccupied nests to lay eggs, in the same way that cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds' nests and let the unknowing foster parents rear their chicks.
A few species of tropical bees, known as vulture bees, survive by eating carrion. Their guts contain acid-loving bacteria that enable the bees to digest rotting meat.
Busy brains
The world looks very different to a bee than it does to a human, but bees' perceptions are hardly simple. Bees are intelligent animals that likely feel pain, remember patterns and odors and even recognize human faces. They can solve mazes and other problems and use simple tools.
Bees' vision is 60 times less sharp than that of humans: A flying bee can't see the details of a flower until it is about 10 inches away. However, bees can see hidden ultraviolet floral patterns that are invisible to us, and those patterns lead the bees to flowers' nectar.
Naturalist David Attenborough uses ultraviolet light to show how flowers may appear different to bees than to humans.
Bees also can spot flowers by detecting color changes at a distance. When humans watch film projected at 24 frames per second, the individual images appear to blur into motion. This phenomenon, which is called the flicker-fusion frequency, indicates how capable our visual systems are at resolving moving images. Bees have a much higher flicker-fusion frequency β you would have to play the film 10 times faster for it to look like a blur to them β so they can fly over a flowering meadow and see bright spots of floral color that wouldn't stand out to humans.
Bees' sense of touch is also highly developed: They can feel tiny fingerprint-like ridges on the petals of some flowers. Bees are nearly deaf to most airborne sounds, unless they are very close to the source, but are sensitive if they are standing on a vibrating surface.
Experiments by Canadian researcher Peter Kevan and Lars Chittka in England demonstrated remarkable feats of bee learning. Bumblebees were trained to pull a string β in other words, to use a tool β connected to a plastic disk with hidden depressions filled with sugar water. They could see the sugar wells but couldn't get the reward except by tugging at the string until the disk was uncovered.
Other worker bees were placed nearby in a screen cage where they could see what their trained hive mates did. Once released, this second group also pulled the string for the sweet treats. This study demonstrated what scientists term social learning β acting in ways that reflect the behavior of others.
Pollinating with vibrations
Even pollination, one of bees' best-known behaviors, can be much more complicated than it seems.
The basic process is similar for all types of bees: Females carry pollen grains, the sex cells of plants, on their bodies from flower to flower as they collect pollen and nectar to feed themselves and their developing grubs. When pollen rubs off onto a flower's stigma, the result is pollination.
My favorite area of bee research examines a method called buzz pollination. Bees use it on about 10% of the world's 350,000 kinds of flowering plants that have special anthers β structures that produce pollen.
For example, a tomato blossom's five anthers are pinched together, like the closed fingers of one hand. Pollen is released through one or two small pores at the end of each anther.
When a female bumblebee lands on a tomato flower, she bites one anther at the middle and contracts her flight muscles from 100 to 400 times per second. These powerful vibrations eject pollen from the anther pores in the form of a cloud that strikes the bee. It all happens in just a few tenths of a second.
Bumblebees demonstrate buzz pollination on a Persian violet blossom.
The bee hangs by one leg and scrapes the pollen into "baskets" β structures on her hind legs. Then she repeats the buzzing on the remaining anthers before moving to different flowers.
Bees also use buzz pollination on the flowers of blueberries, cranberries, eggplant and kiwi fruits. My colleagues and I are conducting experiments to determine the biomechanics of how bee vibrations eject pollen from anthers.
First, plant native wildflowers so that blooms are available in every season. Second, try to avoid using insecticides or herbicides. Third, provide open ground where burrowing bees can nest. With luck, soon you'll have some buzzing new neighbors.

The Best Ways to Improve Your Health After a Heart Attack
A heart attack is a major life event, one that can have serious repercussions for you and your family in the following days, weeks and months. It requires a new approach to your lifestyle as part of your recovery, but it doesn't necessarily have to ruin the rest of your life.
Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy
Complete recovery after a heart attack is possible for some heart-attack survivors, and most can resume a normal or near-normal lifestyle. However, it requires doing everything you can to prevent a second heart attack or developing heart failure.
"Look at a heart attack as an opportunity to refocus on healthy habits and control your risk factors for future cardiovascular disease," says preventive cardiologist Luke J. Laffin, MD.
Here's what else Dr. Laffin recommends you do to get back on track.
1. Take your prescriptions
Your doctor will prescribe medications that have proven to save lives after a heart attack. These medications generally include aspirin, an antiplatelet medication, a beta-blocker, a statin and, often, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
Studies have shown that heart attack survivors who don't fill their prescriptions are far more likely to die within a year than those who take their medications as prescribed.
"Taking these medications can reduce the chance of a second heart attack by 25% or more," says Dr. Laffin.
Because these medications are necessary, you should not stop taking them without your doctor's permission. "Stopping them can increase your risk of a subsequent heart attack," he says.
2. Start cardiac rehabilitation
After a heart attack, it's natural to wonder how much exercise is safe, or whether it's safe at all. That's why it's a good idea to enroll in a medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation program within four weeks of leaving the hospital. Participating in cardiac rehabilitation can increase your chance of surviving three years or more by almost 50%.
Cardiac rehabilitation programs tailor exercise to each participant's condition and abilities. In addition, the programs include discussions about heart-healthy foods and eating habits and the psychological issues of coping with serious heart disease. Both of these elements are important for a healthier, happier future.
3. Work on your weight
Perhaps your diet or weight was part of what caused you to develop type 2 diabetes, obesity or hypertensionβmajor risk factors for heart disease. If so, your heart attack may have been a wake-up call to reform your eating habits.
A heart-healthy diet eliminates trans fats, limits intake of saturated fats and sodium and emphasizes natural foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. You may need to practice portion control, as well.
If you are overwhelmed by the thought of making drastic changes to your diet, consult a registered dietitian. The dietitian will take your favorite foods into account when designing a diet just for you.
4. Quit smoking
If you smoke, now is the time to quit. Smoking is the worst thing you can do to your heart. Cutting back doesn't work: Smoking only one cigarette a day increases the risk of heart attack by 50% in men and 75% in women.
Secondhand smoke is unsafe, as well. Heart-attack survivors are 61% more likely to have a second heart attack or angina within 30 days when exposed to secondhand smoke.
And, no, electronic cigarettes are not safe substitutes for tobacco cigarettes. They are less toxic, but vaping increases blood pressure and oxidative stress while aggravating endothelial dysfunction, the process that leads to atherosclerosis. In addition, many e-cigarettes contain harmful additives, such as pesticides and heavy metals.
5. Mind your mental health
"If you lose interest in people or activities you previously enjoyed, this may be a sign that you should seek help from a medical professional," Dr. Laffin advises. Speaking with your healthcare provider and adding an antidepressant may be all it takes to make you feel better.
6. Surround yourself with support
You survived "the big one," so why not celebrate life? Feel free to resume a social life as soon as you have the energy to do so. You'll find that participating in activities you enjoy with friends you cherish will give you a renewed sense of optimism and a sunnier outlook on life.
7. Resume sexual activity
There's no reason to avoid sexual activity after a heart attack, enjoying the intimacy that is an integral part of a loving relationship. Heart attack survivors who have an active sex life are less likely than celibate survivors to die in the decades following their first heart attack.
"I tell my patients that it's safe to have sex with your regular partner when you can walk up two flights of stairs without stopping to catch your breath," says Dr. Laffin. "Just respect your limits and stop if you feel lightheaded."
8. Look ahead, not behind
Suffering a heart attack may shake you to your core, but it also can renew your enthusiasm for life. Think of the saying, "What doesn't kill you can make you stronger." Surround yourself with people who will help you become a healthier, happier person than you were before.
"Eat better, exercise, quit smoking, take your medications and enjoy your life. These simple things may reward you with better health than you had before your heart attack," says Dr. Laffin. | eng | 82d8066c-312f-4c56-af27-62085253199c | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/the-best-ways-to-improve-your-health-after-a-heart-attack/ |

The world of finance is in perpetual evolution, with innovations and shifting dynamics molding the strategies investors deploy. Among the most transformative developments in recent years is Contract for Difference (CFD) trading. CFDs, while not entirely new, have increasingly captured the attention of both novice and experienced investors. In essence, they enable participants to benefit from price movements without claiming ownership of the underlying asset. But as with any investment instrument, the rules of engagement change over time, influenced by a plethora of economic, technological, and sociopolitical factors.
For those new to the concept, CFD trading involves an agreement between an investor and a CFD broker. Instead of buying an asset like a stock or commodity, the trader speculates on its price movement. Profits or losses accrue based on the difference between the opening and closing price of the asset. It's a method that offers significant leverage, meaning potential high returns, but, of course, at an equally elevated risk.
As we dive deeper into the 21st century, a confluence of forces has reshaped the CFD trading landscape. First and foremost, technology has dramatically altered how trades are executed and analyzed. Gone are the days when investors relied solely on print financial news or waited anxiously by the phone for updates from their brokers. Now, with just a few clicks or taps, they can access a world of real-time data, charting tools, and expert analyses. This technological boon has led to the democratization of information, equipping traders with resources that were previously the preserve of elite professionals.
Consequently, Brokers have had to recalibrate their offerings to remain relevant. The contemporary CFD broker provides more than just a platform for trade execution. Today's brokers deliver educational content, comprehensive analysis tools, and even social trading features, where investors can emulate the strategies of proven successful traders. This shift from being mere intermediaries to becoming partners in an investor's journey is a hallmark of the modern CFD landscape.
However, this technological transformation isn't without its pitfalls. The sheer volume of information available can lead to analysis paralysis, where an investor becomes so inundated with data that decision-making becomes an overwhelming challenge. Additionally, while online platforms facilitated by Brokers offer unprecedented convenience, they also present vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity threats are an ever-looming shadow, and brokers must be vigilant in ensuring their platforms are impenetrable fortresses against digital malefactors.
Economic globalism, too, has left an indelible mark on CFD strategies. With economies more interlinked than ever, events in one corner of the world can send ripples across markets continents away. Whether it's a political upheaval, an unexpected economic policy, or even a natural disaster, the triggers for market volatility are manifold. Successful modern investors, thus, are those who maintain a panoramic view of global affairs, interpreting them through the lens of potential impacts on their CFD trades.
As we consider strategies in this evolving landscape, it's essential to note the value of adaptability. Rigid adherence to a single strategy, regardless of changing circumstances, is a recipe for potential missteps. Flexibility allows investors to recalibrate their approaches based on prevailing market conditions. This doesn't mean that one should be whimsically reactive, jumping from one strategy to the next with every market fluctuation. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of being attuned to the market's pulse, with a willingness to refine strategies when necessary.
Finally, regardless of how advanced or sophisticated the tools at an investor's disposal might be, some timeless principles remain relevant. Due diligence, consistent research, and risk management are cornerstones of successful CFD trading. Even as the landscape evolves, these tenets remain unwavering in their importance.
In summary, the world of CFD trading is a reflection of the broader financial ecosystem β dynamic, interconnected, and driven by innovation. As it continues to evolve, the onus is on both investors and Brokers to navigate this terrain with a blend of adaptability, knowledge, and prudence. For those who can master this balance, the opportunities in this domain are vast and rewarding. | eng | c214595c-198d-4abe-93ab-05612620fc2c | https://gpworldtech.com/the-evolving-landscape-of-cfd-trading-strategies-for-modern-investors/ |
Planetary Ring Theory Anomaly
Saturn pleases us when the angle is just right and we can be amazed by its series of rings, but there are other planets that have rings as well. It took powerful telescopes to finally see them. The story goes that smaller bodies get too close to planets and break apart, forming rings.
Way out yonder is a minor planet, a trans-Neptunian object, called Quaoar. That name came from a deity of indigenous people in the area that is now southern California. (I reckon it is preferable to one of his other names, Chinigchinix.) Smaller than Pluto, it has a moon. And a ring system?
Cosmologists please themselves with their Just-So Stories about solar system formation and cosmic evolution, but those don't withstand scrutiny. Naturalists need tales that reject God the Creator, so they keep them despite their inadequacies. One of these is how rings form. Since a ring system was found around Quaoar where it "shouldn't be", they have an anomaly to explain.
"This doesn't prove young-earth creation, Cowboy Bob!"
No, it doesn't. But it is an example of how atheists misrepresent creationists. Putting words in our mouths is a way of making straw man arguments, and we don't have to defend things we didn't say. A one-off thing like rings around Quaoar usually doesn't carry much importance. However, there are many anomalies that thwart deep time and cosmic evolution stories (secularists deny evidence and insist Titan is old, for example), and those lend support to biblical creation. You savvy?
Quaoar is a minor planet beyond Neptune that has been known since 2002. Classed as a Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO), it is the seventh largest minor planet (Pluto is #1). Astronomers, using occultation techniques, inferred a dense ring orbiting Quaoar. Problem: it shouldn't be there.
Satellites around small bodies are not as surprising, but rings? According to theory, rings form when objects move into a radius from a body called the Roche Limit and break up. What has long been accepted is that tidal forces break apart objects within the Roche limit; then, the disrupted debris becomes a ring. Another TNO (Haumea) has a ring, and a space rock around beyond Saturn has one. Those rings fit the Roche theory. Finding a ring outside Quaoar's Roche limit was not only a surprise, but a threat to long-standing ideas in textbooks. Here's what news reports say about this:

We get the message displayed that the Roku is overheating ONLY when we watch HBO. Why is this? We have done all the suggestions- turning the TV off, moving the Roku further away from the TV....We have had this Roku for a year- this never happened until a week ago, when we started streaming HBO.
Re: A message displays on TV saying Roku is overheating.
Try removing HBO Max then re-install it back in. To ensure the process is successful, make sure you restart your Roku device before adding the channel again. You can check this Support link for detailed instructions: How do I resolve channel playback issues?
If the overheating message persists, please reply here with the serial number of the affected device. It can be located in Settings > System > About. | eng | 79582e99-a96e-42e9-8fa3-ac4eb89a66fc | https://community.roku.com/t5/Features-settings-updates/A-message-displays-on-TV-saying-Roku-is-overheating/td-p/711901 |

What is factor endowment theory. Factor Endowment Theory 2022-10-22
What is factor endowment theory Rating:

reviews
Factor endowment theory is a framework that explains how the availability of natural resources and other factors of production, such as labor and capital, can shape the economic development of a country. This theory suggests that countries that are endowed with certain types of resources will have a comparative advantage in producing goods and services that rely on those resources.
According to factor endowment theory, a country's endowment of natural resources and other factors of production will determine the type of goods and services it can produce efficiently. For example, a country that has abundant natural resources such as oil, minerals, or fertile land may be able to produce goods that rely on these resources more efficiently than a country that does not have access to these resources. Similarly, a country with a large and skilled labor force may be able to produce labor-intensive goods more efficiently than a country with a small and unskilled labor force.
The factor endowment theory also suggests that a country's endowment of resources and other factors of production can influence its trade patterns. For example, a country that is endowed with abundant natural resources may trade those resources for goods and services that it cannot produce efficiently on its own. Conversely, a country that is not endowed with certain resources may need to import those resources in order to produce goods and services that rely on them.
One of the main criticisms of the factor endowment theory is that it does not take into account the role of technological progress and innovation in shaping economic development. While a country's endowment of natural resources and other factors of production may play a role in its economic development, technological progress and innovation can also have a significant impact. For example, a country that lacks certain natural resources may be able to overcome this disadvantage through technological innovation and the development of new production processes that do not rely on those resources.
In summary, the factor endowment theory is a framework that explains how the availability of natural resources and other factors of production can shape the economic development of a country. While this theory has been influential in understanding the role of resources and other factors in economic development, it does not take into account the role of technological progress and innovation in shaping economic outcomes.

A factor endowment represents how many resources a country has at its disposal to be utilized for manufacturingβresources such as labor, land, money, and entrepreneurship. In economic reasoning, the simplest case for this distribution is the idea that countries will have different ratios of capital to labor.

What Is Cross-Site Request Forgery?
CSRF or Cross-Site Request Forgery is a website vulnerability where an attacker can cause an action to happen in a victim's session on another website. One of the things that makes CSRF so much of a risk is that it doesn't even require user interaction, all that's needed is for the victim to view a webpage with the exploit in it.
Tip: CSRF is generally pronounced either letter by letter or as "sea surf".
How does a CSRF attack work?
The attack involves the attacker creating a website that has a method of making a request on another website. This could require user interaction, such as getting them to press a button, but it could also be interactionless. In JavaScript there are ways to cause an action to happen automatically. For example, a zero by zero pixel image won't be visible to the user but can be configured so its "src" makes a request to another website.
JavaScript is a client-side language, this means that JavaScript code is run in the browser rather than on the webserver. Thanks to this fact, the computer that makes the CSRF request is actually that of the victim. Unfortunately, this means that the request is made with all the permissions that the user has. Once the attacking website has tricked the victim into making the CSRF request, the request is essentially indistinguishable from the user making the request normally.
CSRF is an example of a "confused deputy attack" against the web browser as the browser is tricked into using its permissions by an attacker without those privileges. These permissions are your session and authentication tokens to the target website. Your browser automatically includes these details in any request it makes.
CSRF attacks are somewhat complex to arrange. First of all, the target website needs to have a form or URL that has side effects such as deleting your account. The attacker then needs to craft a request to perform the desired action. Finally, the attacker needs to get the victim to load a webpage with the exploit in it while they're signed into the target website.
To prevent CSRF issues the best thing you can do is include a CSRF token. A CSRF token is a randomly generated string that is set as a cookie, the value needs to be included with every response alongside a request header which includes the value. While a CSRF attack can include the cookie, it no way to be able to determine the value of the CSRF token to set the header and so the attack will be rejected | eng | 2a09e8c0-9f66-4c54-a5e6-4f13bf5859cf | https://www.technipages.com/what-is-cross-site-request-forgery/ |

The Unseen Pain: The Difficulties Living With Fibromyalgia
I can't count how many times I have heard those words. My pain may not physically show, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Fibromyalgia is not terminal but is chronic, which has drastically changed my life.
Every morning when I wake up, I dread the day to come. I wonder whether or not I will be able to walk or use my hands, the parts of the human body that are essential to our everyday lives.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that affects the nerves, joints, and in my case the muscles and skin throughout the body. It's typically diagnosed by a rheumatologist, a pain management doctor, but can also be diagnosed by a neurologist, a nerve specialist, which was who diagnosed me.
According to Fibro Active, this illness has over 200 symptoms and is categorized by five overall symptoms including fibro fog, sleep disturbances, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fatigue, and pain.
Depression and anxiety are also factors that can cause more issues. For example, according to Fibro Active, depression, and anxiety can increase fibromyalgia symptoms and overlap each other causing more widespread pain, and stress.
Stress isn't something that can be brushed off but is instead an issue that fibro patients must watch out for and try to manage. Physical, chronic, environmental, and emotional stress can all send a patient to bed for days as the mind and body becomes overwhelmed and the nerves throughout the body react or panic.
This panic is called a flare or flare-up, which means the symptoms of the disease increase in number or intensity. So, there is much more to fibromyalgia than the five indications.
Ways in which I cope is by taking nerve medication such as Neurontin (Gabapentin) as well as meditation methods like yoga, minimal exercise, and other remedies such as warm baths with relaxing salts like Epsom salt. These treatments don't always work, which is one of the worst things about the illness, but they help manage pain for some time.
Jorja J Bennett, a 32-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2011, has experienced similar incidents that I have gone through.
"I was in pain throughout my body, and I could never pinpoint where it was coming from. I could feel cramping in my arms and legs making it difficult to walk, my skin felt like it was on fire, I had zero energy, and my brilliant mind became a fog," Bennett said.
One of the things that I constantly repeated to the many doctors I have seen was that my skin felt like it was burning and on fire, but they couldn't see it, just like every other symptom they couldn't see.
Epsom salts with essential oils and herbs like eucalyptus, and mint or herbal teas are some remedies that Bennett looks to when she experiences flares.
Fibromyalgia cannot be cured, which makes it more difficult to get up in the morning, put on a smile, and act like everything is okay. It's even harder when those around me can't see my pain.
According to the NHS, fibromyalgia is difficult to diagnose as there are no visible signs and specific tests to show the disability. The people around Bennett thought she was faking her illness because of this.
"'You don't look sick,'" Bennett said, which is what she heard from one of her close friends.
Despite these symptoms, fibromyalgia patients must understand that they're not alone and there are ways to manage. Natural remedies, meditation methods, and medications will not take it away, but they can at least manage the widespread aches.
I will forever be in pain, I will never live the active life that I did before and I will need to take medication for the rest of my life to manage my pain.. It's hard to do things that include movement, which is basically everything, but I am learning every day about my illness and how to adjust to this life, instead of letting it defeat me.
One thing that every patient should know is that it's important to not let our illnesses define who we are and instead embrace it and spread awareness. If you or anyone you know are struggling from fibromyalgia or are experiencing symptoms, it's important to reach out to a rheumatologist.

Unit 5004 - Resource management Introduction This unit is about being able to identify the different types of resources available to managers, select and plan for their use, and monitor and review their effectiveness in the pursuit of organisational objectives. Scenario Learners may use their own employment context, or that of another organisation with which they are very familiar, to base their assignment. However, in the case that they are not able to do so, please use the below scenario- If you will be using a scenario please select and research an organisation of your choice and identify a department within the organisation. Imagine you manage 6 staff within the department and have a range of human, physical and financial resources you are responsible for managing to help you achieve your objectives. Provide details of your research and a short summary of the information you have found in order that the assessor may contextualise your responses to the tasks below. The summary is expected to be between 200 and 250 words. Task 1 Describe the types of human, physical and financial resources that managers use to enable them to achieve organisational objectives. Provide at least one example of a human, physical and financial resource and link these to your own objectives as a departmental manager. Guideline word count 300 - 350 words A.C. 1.1 - Identify those resources required to format objectives Task 2 Draw up an annual plan of the human and physical resources you require to meet your objectives over the course of a twelve month period. Specify the quantities of each resource required on a monthly basis and ensure you plan for any seasonal peaks and troughs. Include a column for the allocation of costs or budget. You will be expected to allow for issues like multiple pay rates or time off in lieu, and for consumable, materials or utilities price fluctuations. Use work based examples where possible.

It is very important to make decisions the right decisions quickly, and this usually requires critical thinking on the part of the decision maker (Abelson and Levi 1998; Carroll and Johnson 1990). Decisions can be very simple (deciding what you are going to eat for lunch today) or very complex (deciding where and how to build your house). Thus, how much time a person ends up making a decision depends on the complexity of the situation and the nature of the decision. For managers in an organization, some decisions can be very critical for the firm. It is important that managers take responsibility for their actions and learn to make the right decisions in the appropriate amount of time. Taking a long time to make a simple decision and making a complex decision quickly can both have drastic effects on the organization. This isβ¦
Decision-making is a well planned out process with the best outcome in mind.

Decision making is an important process of any company's growth strategy and each decision is made with careful calculation and analyzation of the company's data. Although there is some variation to the way information is processed as it reaches the top of any company the decision making process is more or less similar between Costco, Wal-Mart and Sysco.β¦
However, not all decisions can be made on a relaxed or considered timetable. Most managers would prefer a reflective form of decision making, one in which they had a bit of time to review the options, to do any primary or secondary research, and to glean views and opinions for colleagues.

To properly time a decision, the need for a decision must be recognized. That is not always easy.

Failure to gather and evaluate available data, consider people's feeling and anticipate the impact of the decision can result in a quick but poor decisions . knowing when to make a decision is complicated because different decisions have different time frames.

Who has not been a landlord or a tenant? It is one of the most common legal relationships between people, and has been since the medieval period. But there is very little academic interest in the law of landlord and tenant. Nobody before has attempted to write its history. This book shows how the rules on each point of importance have developed. Sometimes it demonstrates how a wrong turn has been taken, or an important principle forgotten. But its practical use is to provide the material for understanding the old cases, and to put those cases in their proper context; for it is hard for any lawyer, advising on a doubtful point, to say where exactly we are now, without a thorough understanding of what the law once was and how and when it might have changed | eng | b916f964-e9ab-4dfa-9886-48ac6639d03e | https://excelsior.ecampus.com/history-law-landlord-tenant-england-wales/bk/9781616192235&pos=63 |

Discipline Essay
What is Discipline?
Discipline is the person's ability to conduct or think in a controlled manner, particularly when self-control is involved. It is the self-imposed control necessary to achieve a goal. This feature of our existence sets us apart from other living beings as humans are categorized as rational beings since our intelligence is seen as the most advanced sort of evolution. Many people, however, feel burdened by their rationality when under the weight of discipline.
Types of Discipline
There are primarily two sorts of disciplines. The first is called induced discipline, while the second is called self-discipline. A discipline is categorized as an induced discipline when someone else controls your life and decisions. Besides, self-discipline refers to taking charge of our own life.
Self-discipline is unquestionably superior. When someone influences you, it becomes annoying, and you constantly attempt to get rid of it. However, when you have control over your life, you are more likely to enjoy it. Controlling your life does not simply refer to being able to do everything you want; it means adhering to the rules you set for yourself but under the law.
Why is discipline important?
In most circumstances, if a person executes a specific work in an appropriate manner of subject, he/she may accomplish the best in his/her life. Completing goals, respecting others, and scheduled routines are all part of the discipline.
Individuals must be focused and motivated to complete their responsibilities to reach a goal, and they must be self-disciplined to do so. This discipline is frequently required for persons who must accomplish a long-term project or an essential job that requires many hours of labour. Our culture is loaded with instances of discipline, which can be seen everywhere we walk daily. Discipline is frequently seen as a vital element of living a meaningful life.
How do we develop Self-Discipline?
The first step in developing discipline is to acknowledge that nothing happens by accident or without making an effort. Making a change requires time and determination. Discipline is something we develop with time, trial, learning and mistakes. Either we desire what is best for our future or don't. Developing self-discipline needs patience, willpower, and dedication, all of which can be learned by anybody willing to do the work. To begin improving self-discipline, start with the following steps:
1. Choose a Goal
Begin by focusing on only one objective to improve your self-discipline.
For example, we may start exercising every evening or read one leadership book every week to improve our skills. We might also practise self-discipline by focusing on a task for an hour without checking messages or avoiding meals for one day. Specifically, we need to learn to control the things in our life by setting a routine. Remember that starting with small targets is the greatest method to improve self-discipline.
2. Identify Obstacles
We must identify the difficulties we will most likely experience while working toward our objective and design a strategy for conquering each.
Assume our objective is to read one leadership book every week to improve our abilities. Now, when we find a book we like, it might be not easy to find time to read it every night. Work, supper, and the kids may keep us busy until late at night. We are also constantly interrupted by messages that arrive on our phones while we are reading. Once we've recognized the hurdles, we must create a plan or manage time to conquer each. We could perform the following in this case:
Instead of going to a bookshop, spend an hour online researching leadership books.
Order the desired books all at once and save them to a smartphone, so we always have books to read. Whenever we get free, we can continue reading saved books.
Schedule extra reading time during the day. So, we can read at lunch or while waiting for our children to get home from school.
Turn off the SIM or switch it to aeroplane mode when we want to concentrate on reading.
Our self-discipline frequently fails because we don't usually identify the challenges we'll confront or when we have no strategic solutions to overcome them. When these stumbling blocks appear, we are unprepared to cope, disturbing our determination.
3. Replace Poor Habits
We frequently strive to break a poor habit and replace it with something more useful while building self-discipline. Breaking that habit, on the other hand, might create a void related to a specific time of day or pattern. If we don't replace those poor habits with something effective or meaningful, it will remain challenging to build discipline.
An excellent example is if we're attempting to avoid purchasing stuff online during lunch hour at work. Because we're likely to be online for 20-30 minutes each time, this terrible habit undermines the focus and attention from work. Also, due to a lack of focus during lunch, we cannot eat properly or sufficiently, which affects our health over time.
Once we've decided to quit any bad habit, we must come up with a new behaviour to engage in when needed a little break. This means we must involve with any other activity. Instead of shopping online, we may talk to people at our workplace, have a cup of coffee, or go for a little walk outside.
4. Monitor Progress
We must pay attention to how we feel as our self-discipline improves and strengthens. We may feel liberated, pleased, proud, and invigorated. Consider maintaining a notebook to record the self-discipline objectives. This emphasizes the suitable adjustments we're making in our life and provides us with a record to look back on to see how far we've come. Our self-discipline will improve with time, and later we can apply it to many other aspects of our life.
Importance of Discipline in Parenting
Parents should discipline their children for misbehaviour and tell them why discipline is essential in life. Discipline is an important aspect of parenting, starting with setting limits and expectations for the child. Children must acquire discipline because it helps them make intelligent decisions, follow the rules, and respect authority/others. As a parent, we must be both role models and mentors to our children, which include enforcing the standards we set for them at home from toddlerhood through adolescence, college-age years, and young adulthood. Being strict as a parent teaches kids that they must first develop self-discipline before expecting others to do what is right, including their teachers at school and prospective employers when they are older.
Importance of Discipline in Student's Life
Without discipline, a student's life is disorganized. A disciplined student may also regulate and handle complicated difficulties more readily than those who are not. The discipline includes planning. There are no intended outcomes without planning. Planning for anything fosters timeliness, essential for success in any sector. Discipline assists a person in being more concentrated on a specific task.
As a result, a disciplined student focuses more on his job, actions, or goals. Discipline helps students avoid numerous types of distractions, fostering a perception of honesty and seriousness. With continuous improvement, discipline produces a high-quality concentration. This can be the key to success for most students in their studies and job searching.
Importance of Discipline in Workplace
Workplace discipline leads to a better organizational structure and an easier path to team goals. A disciplined employee can be trusted more to get the job done. It demonstrates that disciplined employees have the self-control required to achieve critical duties while respecting others in the workplace by adhering to rules/policies. Employees that have been reprimanded are accountable for their behaviour because they take pride in their job performance and understand how it reflects on them as individuals. Their commitment to doing the right thing fosters more profound connections with co-workers, leading to higher workplace productivity.
Excessive Discipline
Discipline is essential for a happy life but must be maintained at a certain level. When a person is exposed to extreme punishment, he begins to feel like he is in manacles. When a person is subjected to excessive punishment, he feels suffocated. However, it is an essential component of developing children to be responsible adults.
A child may not always want to act like his father or elders in his life, but the traditional discipline may help him to follow disciplined life like his elders. However, it should not be used to control or manipulate a child. When this occurs, it can lead to resentment and hostility, which leads parents and children to lose faith in one another.
Without faith and discipline, it is complicated for children to build good relationships with others later in life because they were never taught how to do so, including friends, classmates, instructors, etc. A youngster forced to be disciplined early would grow up believing everything must be done via force rather than being taught right from wrong through good examples. Therefore, it is essential not to force excessive discipline on anyone.
Conclusion
We can conclude that we should be balanced in our discipline development. Our actual behaviour is also crucial for maintaining our disciplined life. After all, we are rational human beings who can learn, maintain, and teach discipline. As parents, we can make discipline less intimidating by focusing on training our children rather than punishing them. That way, their focus will be on doing what is necessary for success at school or work instead of getting into trouble. | eng | c4fa2bc0-32e2-4fd6-999a-65f2226eccc2 | https://www.javatpoint.com/discipline-essay |

Privacy for Public-Minded Authors Part I
Privacy may not seem like an important issue for authors who write to be read: after all, our members are often motivated by a desire to share their creations broadly. But writing in the digital world increasingly presents us with new considerations in the realm of personal and digital privacy. This post surveys an important privacy-related issue for authors: the right to speak or write anonymously, and will be the first in a new series on privacy considerations for public-minded authors.
Why Publish Anonymously?
The tradition of authors publishing anonymously, or under a pseudonym, stretches back centuries. Authors choose to publish works of authorship under pseudonyms or anonymously for a variety of reasons. Authors affiliated with academic institutions may prefer to publish their work under a different name in order to keep their academic and authorial identities separate. Some authors publish under both their real names and pseudonyms to explore new styles or genres of writing. Authors writing about controversial topics may also choose to use pseudonyms or publish anonymously in order to maintain personal privacy while contributing to our understanding of such topics. Pseudonyms also allow authors to write works jointly under a single name.
Historical Pseudonyms
Notable pseudonyms from the past show the breadth of motivations authors might have for pursuing this path, as well as the advantages of using pseudonyms. For example, in the mid-1800s, the BrontΓ« sisters (Anne, Charlotte, and Emily) began publishing under the names Acton, Currer, and Ellis Bell to conceal the fact that they were women. After being rejected from multiple literary publications due to gender biases of the time, writing under male pen names gave the BrontΓ«s a path forward to share their creations with the world. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights have had a deep and profound impact on our literary tradition, and the BrontΓ«s' ability to publish pseudonymously is what made this possible.
The 19th century writer Mary Ann Evans (better known by her pen name, George Eliot), on the other hand, elected to use a male pen name in order to disassociate herself from preconceived notions about female authors. She was also motivated by a desire to keep her previous work as a translator, critic, and editorβwhich did bear her real nameβseparate from her identity as a fiction author. Other authors from the past, such as C.S. Lewis and the famed contemporary Italian novelist Elena Ferrante, have used pen names in order to maintain their personal privacy and avoid public scrutiny while still engaging with the literary world.
Pseudonyms can also allow multiple authors to work together under a single author name, to better appeal to readers or to accommodate publishing conventions. The idea for the Nancy Drew books, for example, originated with Edward Stratemeyer, who also created the Hardy Boys series. Stratemeyer generated ideas for childrens' novels and then hired ghostwriters to execute his vision. The series' "author," Carolyn Keene, never existed. Instead, her name stands in for the slew of ghostwriters who wrote the novels over time. By using a single author name for these books, Stratemeyer (and later, his estate) was able to create a sense of continuity and build reputational capital for the fictional Keene, captivating multiple generations of young readers.
Anonymous Works
Rather than use a pseudonym, some authors choose to publish their works anonymously, so that no author at all is listed on or associated with the work. Like using a pseudonym, publishing anonymously divorces the author's real identity from the work. But unlike using a pseudonym, an anonymous work conspicuously lacks an author at all. Throughout history, politically or socially controversial works have been published anonymously. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was originally published anonymously, and some have speculated that this was due in part to her fear of losing custody of her children were she to be associated with the monstrous tale. More recently, Go Ask Alice, a book about a 15-year old girl's descent into drug addiction, was published anonymously. The work presented itself as a diary, and the anonymous author led to debate about the work's veracity. While the book is now considered to be fictional, the anonymous authorship created an implication that the work was somehow a "real" diary, which colored the reading experience for contemporaneous audiences.
Pseudonyms, Anonymity and Copyright
The U.S. Copyright system accommodates authors' rights to publish pseudonymously in a number of different ways, underscoring the importance of this right as a matter of public policy. First, and most importantly, the Copyright Act provides an avenue for an author to register their work under a pseudonym (longtime readers may recall that copyright registration is not necessary in order for a work to be protected by copyright, but can provide significant benefits in many circumstances). An author can use both their pseudonym and their legal name on their copyright registration, or their pseudonym only. If an author does use their legal name on their copyright registration for a pseudonymously published work, it is important to understand from a privacy perspective that the author's legal name will become a part of the public record, as copyright registrations are publicly available. If an author registers their copyright under a pseudonym and does not use their legal name in the registration, their legal name will not be made public.
However, there is a trade off for authors who register copyrights under a pseudonym. The duration of copyright protection is different for pseudonymously authored works: rather than being the life of the author plus 70 years, the copyright term for pseudonymous works is 95 years from the date of creation. This is because, without a real person's identity to associate with the copyright, it is impossible to measure the life of the author. Additionally, a pseudonym itself cannot be copyrighted, as names and short phrases are outside the scope of copyright protection (though in some instances, words or marks identifying the author could be protected in other ways, such as by trademark law). This means that it is possible for multiple authors to use the same pseudonym, which can create confusion for readers and be a detriment to those authors' ability to reach them.
Authors are also empowered by the copyright system to register copyrights anonymously. As with pseudonymous works, anonymous works are subject to copyright protection for 95 years from the date of creation, since the life of the author cannot be ascertained without an author being named. Even if a work is registered anonymously, its author can sue to enforce the copyright (though they will likely lose their anonymity in the process). Anonymous works pose challenges for secondary users, however, because it leaves creators who may want to use the anonymous works in their own works without a point of contact. | eng | e1962b50-be01-4f05-86ce-4aa4054cdfe9 | https://www.authorsalliance.org/2022/10/25/privacy-for-public-minded-authors-part-i/ |
At college, students often receive an assignment to write an expository essay. It may seem complex to come up with one due to professors' precise attention and quick upcoming deadlines. However, once you get into the field, you'll understand how easy the process might be. The effort is minimum β you have to create a unique topic, come up with an intriguing title, and stick to the structural requirements. If you're completely out of ideas and need a creative boost, we've prepared some topics for you to use further in your studying.
Expository Essay β What Is It?
An expository essay is a short assignment that helps professors to determine how well you understood a certain topic. Usually, it is a paper that requires the description of a specific subject: most learners have no limitations and are allowed to go with their preferences, but rarely can the teacher ask to describe the idea of his choice. Commonly, students need to narrow down one concept or a sole process. However, if you think you can do better research, it's possible to discuss several concepts or processes.
Before writing your paper, consider that it's supposed to be objective. It means that you have to avoid expressing your personal opinions and stick to a neutral and realistic view. Due to this fact, a large number of students prefer to write expository essays over argumentative or other types. You don't have to put in that much effort and spend sleepless nights doing the research. Your final paper has to be straightforward. Still, turn to our expository essay writer if you feel like it's confusing. You can choose the one that resonates with you the most and will go through the whole writing journey together. Our experts know all the details and requirements of various essay topics.

Those will be your guidelines and the basis of the perfect essay. Try to have fun and practice at the same time β that would benefit you a lot.
Outline the structure. The average amount of such papers varies between 500 and 800 words. The first and the last paragraphs are indicated for the introduction and conclusion, while the remaining three are for the main body. Overall, your task is to come up with a five-paragraph assignment.
Decide what subject you want to discuss. Always think in terms of your preferences. This way, you can make your work easier because the passion for your topic will motivate you to research more and learn efficiently. Remember that choosing a boring topic will drag you down to the burning deadlines.
Try to make the whole paper using pronouns such as he, she, or it. Writing from such a perspective is obligatory. However, it depends on the specifications of the task. In some cases, professors insist on writing from your perspective.
Avoid watery sentences and be clear while describing the subject. Providing lots of unnecessary information would harm the uniqueness of the text and ruin the initial goal of expository essays, which is a detailed description of a certain topic. Keep your narration brief and simple. Do not use complicated words and constructions.
Don't write a boring introductory paragraph. Remember, that's the main part of your assignment. You have to catch the readers' attention and make them want to keep reading. If you write basic and dry sentences, the audience won't even give you a chance and will skip your article. Put effort into finding rare facts to intrigue your professor.
Check the accuracy of the data that you provide in your paper. Looking through a variety of expository essay outline and essay examples, you will see how crucial it is to be 100% precise. It helps to produce a quality text that answers the title most.
Writing expository essays is one of the numerous assignments schoolers receive from teachers and professors. Although it may seem complex at first, you'll see the opposite after getting into the field. There are a wide variety of topics and titles you can choose from if you need a little inspiration. Once it's done, the rest comes naturally. You can always turn to your friend, an essay writing service, or just ask your professor to give you some pieces of advice to complete the paper perfectly.

Just what I wanted.... A nice big vehicle where I can take the 3rd row seats out and have my rear lift door not unlock!
No, I didn't really want or need that space, I just paid that extra money for looks, just to have that room open feel while driving on the road. Why would I want to use the back in for groceries when I can fip the back seats down and put them there all piled on top of each other smashing my bread and eggs? Why would I want to get the back end dirty when I can borrow someone elses truck to move my plants and mulch from the store or maybe a new chair? Why would I want to put my luggage in through the back lift door when I can fip down the back seats and crawl over them to put it in the back????
Or better yet... what is more fun than watching your teenage son trying to take the lift door panel off with a door locked in the back of your Tahoe. Darn... I should have made a YouTube video.
Don't you think this makes more sense? Great idea Chevy! Maybe next year you can just enclose it and not have a rear lift door.

November: Fireworks of flowers
As we clear away Halloween decorations, we make way for Bonfire Night celebrations.
With daylight saving ending last week, we're greeted by darker and chillier mornings, so winter really is on its way. But there's something so cosy and magical about this time of the year, when you can stay warm indoors with a hot drink. Then, from the comfort of your home, you can look out at your garden full of earthy tones of russet reds and auburn oranges, using these top ten plants for inspiration.
Gardening tip of the month
When building a bonfire, it's best to build it on the day that you're going to light it. As hedgehogs prefer to wander at night, this will save them and other creatures from settling in.
Before lighting, have a rummage around using a pole or broom and a torch. Thoroughly check the bottom two feet of the structure, which is where hedgehogs are most likely to be found.
Listen for a hissing sound, which is the noise that hedgehogs make when they are disturbed. Then, when lighting, do so from one side only to allow an escape route for anything missed.
In the event that hedgehogs are found, place them in a plastic or cardboard box with towels and newspaper. Place meaty cat or dog food and water in the box with them.
Watch thisβ¦
Some plants in the garden will need some protection from the colder weather as we move from summer into autumn and then into winter. Before the first frosts arrive, we want to protect our favourite plants.

By Job 2:10, Satan has done his worst to Job and retreated from his life. God is silent and doesn't make sense, and Job is alone.
Three of Job's friends come to commiserate with him in Job 2:11-12. They respect his agony and sit with him in silence for 7 days.
In chapter 3, Job speaks. He asks the question "Why?" twenty times in this book, and a few are in this chapter. He asks why he was born (Job 3:3-10), why he is still alive (Job 3:11-19), and why he can't die now (Job 3:20-26).

A pastoral candidate was asked, "What do you have to offer our church?" His answer was only, "my weakness." It's an excellent answer. We only minister by God's strength and His grace. Supernatural humility helps us overcome natural timidity.

QVS has its own memory manager. QVS will collect and keep every bit of memory that it ever had a need for. The VM size for this process will only grow, except if you restart the service. Only then, memory will be released. Don't worry, this is a good thing.
A QVS size that is often near the absolute max. is indicative of RAM under pressure. Imagine that a big reload job tries to start? it won't get any memory from QVS, and there won't be any spare left in the system.
Ashfaq's spreadsheet can help you in determining the optimal amount of RAM. Note you should add a safe amount for reloads if this platform also runs the QlikView Distribution Service. Add the memory size of the largest reload job (single task chain), or of the largest set of reload jobs that run in parallel. | eng | 8558b2a8-2484-4dea-bdb0-59349b827969 | https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-App-Dev/Memory-Utilization-More-than-Usage-Memory/m-p/654963 |

Why can't other people take vitamin D3?
May 02, 2023
Vitamin D3 is a crucial nutrient that plays an important role in the preservation of strong bones, supporting the immune system and reducing the risk of certain diseases. It is naturally produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight, and it can also be absorbed through nutrition and nutritional supplements.
While most people Vitamin D3 preparations can take safely, there are certain circumstances under which this may not be appropriate. In this blog post, we will examine some of the reasons why certain people may not be able to take vitamin D3.
Hypercaline Hypercalzemia is a state in which there is too much calcium in the blood. Vitamin D3 helps the body to absorb calcium, so taking high doses of vitamin D3 can increase the risk of hypercalcemia. People with certain diseases such as primary hyperparathyroidism or certain types of cancer can be more susceptible to hypercalcemia and should take high doses of Vitamin D3 Avoid without consulting a doctor.
Kidney disease The kidneys play a crucial role in converting vitamin D3 into its active form that is required for many of its functions. People with kidney diseases may have difficulty converting vitamin D3, which leads to a deficiency. In some cases, however, vitamin D3 supplements may not be suitable for people with kidney disease because they can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Medication Certain drugs can be used Vitamin D3 interact and make it less effective or increase the risk of side effects. For example, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants and some medication to take weight can affect the absorption and metabolism of vitamin D3. If you take medication, it is important to speak to your doctor before starting vitamin D3 supplements.
Allergies or sensitivities Some people may have an allergy or sensitivity to Vitamin D3 supplements Or the ingredients used in the additions. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can be rash, husting hives, itching, swelling or breathing difficulties. If you notice one of these symptoms after taking a vitamin D3 preparation, you should end the intake and speak to your doctor.
In summary, it can be said that vitamin D3 is a decisive nutrient, the intake of which is generally harmless for most people, but there are certain circumstances under which it may not be appropriate. People with hypercalcemia, kidney disease or allergies or sensitivities to vitamin D3 preparations should consult a doctor before taking nutritional supplements. In addition, everyone who takes medication should speak to their doctor to make sure that Vitamin D3 preparations do not interact with his medication. | eng | 5ce821ef-cb2b-4783-9231-dbf0808d53a9 | https://futuresnutrition.de/en/blogs/news/kodel-as-negaliu-vartoti-vitamino-d3 |

Life
David Brewster was born in the Canongate in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, to Margaret Key (1753β1790) and James Brewster (c. 1735β1815), the rector of Jedburgh Grammar School and a teacher of high reputation.[15] David was the third of six children, two daughters and four sons: James (1777β1847), minister at Craig, Ferryden; David; George (1784β1855), minister at Scoonie, Fife; and Patrick (1788β1859), minister at the abbey church, Paisley.[3]
Career
Work on optics
Though Brewster duly finished his theological studies and was licensed to preach, his other interests distracted him from the duties of his profession. In 1799 fellow-student Henry Brougham persuaded him to study the diffraction of light. The results of his investigations were communicated from time to time in papers to the Philosophical Transactions of London and other scientific journals. The fact that other scientists β notably Γtienne-Louis Malus and Augustin Fresnel β were pursuing the same investigations contemporaneously in France does not invalidate Brewster's claim to independent discovery, even though in one or two cases the priority must be assigned to others.[17] A lesser-known classmate of his, Thomas Dick, also went on to become a popular astronomical writer.
The most important subjects of his inquiries can be enumerated under the following five headings:
Inner picture of a cigar box from the early 1900s with a portrait of Brewster.
Among the non-scientific public, his fame spread more effectually by his invention in about 1815 of the kaleidoscope, for which there was a great demand in both the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.[17] As a reflection of this fame, Brewster portrait was later printed in some cigar boxes. Brewster chose renowned achromatic lens developer Philip Carpenter as the sole manufacturer of the kaleidoscope in 1817. Although Brewster patented the kaleidoscope in 1817 (GB 4136),[19][20] a copy of the prototype was shown to London opticians and copied before the patent was granted. As a consequence, the kaleidoscope became produced in large numbers, but yielded no direct financial benefits to Brewster.[21][22][23] It proved to be a massive success with two hundred thousand kaleidoscopes sold in London and Paris in just three months.[24]
The Brewster stereoscope, 1849.
An instrument of more significance, the stereoscope, which β though of much later date (1849) β along with the kaleidoscope did more than anything else to popularise his name, was not as has often been asserted the invention of Brewster. Sir Charles Wheatstone discovered its principle and applied it as early as 1838 to the construction of a cumbersome but effective instrument, in which the binocular pictures were made to combine by means of mirrors.[17] A dogged rival of Wheatstone's, Brewster was unwilling to credit him with the invention, however, and proposed that the true author of the stereoscope was a Mr. Elliot, a "Teacher of Mathematics" from Edinburgh, who, according to Brewster, had conceived of the principles as early as 1823 and had constructed a lensless and mirrorless prototype in 1839, through which one could view drawn landscape transparencies, since photography had yet to be invented.[25] Brewster's personal contribution was the suggestion to use prisms for uniting the dissimilar pictures; and accordingly the lenticular stereoscope may fairly be said to be his invention.
A much more valuable and practical result of Brewster's optical researches was the improvement of the British lighthouse system. Although Fresnel, who had also the satisfaction of being the first to put it into operation, perfected the dioptric apparatus independently, Brewster was active earlier in the field than Fresnel, describing the dioptric apparatus in 1812. Brewster pressed its adoption on those in authority at least as early as 1820, two years before Fresnel suggested it, and it was finally introduced into lighthouses mainly through Brewster's persistent efforts.[17]
Other work
Treatise on new philosophical instruments for various purposes in the arts and sciences, 1813
In 1819 Brewster undertook further editorial work by establishing, in conjunction with Robert Jameson (1774β1854), the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, which took the place of the Edinburgh Magazine. The first ten volumes (1819β1824) were published under the joint editorship of Brewster and Jameson, the remaining four volumes (1825β1826) being edited by Jameson alone. After parting company with Jameson, Brewster started the Edinburgh Journal of Science in 1824, 16 volumes of which appeared under his editorship during the years 1824β1832, with very many articles from his own pen.
He contributed around three hundred papers[3] to the transactions of various learned societies, and few of his contemporaries wrote as much for the various reviews. In the North British Review alone, seventy-five articles of his appeared. A list of his larger separate works will be found below. Special mention, however, must be made of the most important of them all: his biography of Sir Isaac Newton. In 1831 he published the Life of Sir Isaac Newton,[29] a short popular account of the philosopher's life, in Murray's Family Library, followed by an 1832 American edition in Harper's Family Library;[30] but it was not until 1855 that he was able to issue the much fuller Memoirs of the Life, Writings and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton, a work which embodied the results of more than 20 years' investigation of original manuscripts and other available sources.[31][32]
Brewster's position as editor brought him into frequent contact with the most eminent scientific men, and he was naturally among the first to recognise the benefit that would accrue from regular communication among those in the field of science. In a review of Charles Babbage's book Decline of Science in England in John Murray's Quarterly Review, he suggested the creation of "an association of our nobility, clergy, gentry and philosophers".[33] This was taken up by various Declinarians and found speedy realisation in the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Its first meeting was held at York in 1831; and Brewster, along with Babbage and Sir John Herschel, had the chief part in shaping its constitution.[31]
In the same year in which the British Association held its first meeting, Brewster received the honour of knighthood and the decoration of the Royal Guelphic Order. In 1838, he was appointed principal of the united colleges of St Salvator and St Leonard, University of St Andrews. In 1849, he acted as president of the British Association and was elected one of the eight foreign associates of the Institute of France in succession to J. J. Berzelius; and ten years later, he accepted the office of principal of the University of Edinburgh, the duties of which he discharged until within a few months of his death.[31] In 1855, the government of France made him an Officier de la LΓ©gion d'honneur.
He was a close friend of William Henry Fox Talbot, inventor of the calotype process, who sent Brewster early examples of his work. It was Brewster who suggested Talbot only patent his process in England, initiating the development of early photography in Scotland and eventually allowing for the formation of the first photographic society in the world, the Edinburgh Calotype Club, in 1843.[3] Brewster was a prominent member of the club until its dissolution sometime in the mid-1850s; however, his interest in photography continued, and he was elected the first President of the Photographic Society of Scotland when it was founded in 1856.[34]
Of a high-strung and nervous temperament, Brewster was somewhat irritable in matters of controversy; but he was repeatedly subjected to serious provocation. He was a man of highly honourable and fervently religious character. In estimating his place among scientific discoverers, the chief thing to be borne in mind is that his genius was not characteristically mathematical. His method was empirical, and the laws that he established were generally the result of repeated experiment. To the ultimate explanation of the phenomena with which he dealt he contributed nothing, and it is noteworthy although he did not maintain to the end of his life the corpuscular theory he never explicitly adopted the wave theory of light. Few would dispute the verdict of James David Forbes, an editor of the eighth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica: "His scientific glory is different in kind from that of Young and Fresnel; but the discoverer of the law of polarization of biaxial crystals, of optical mineralogy, and of double refraction by compression, will always occupy a foremost rank in the intellectual history of the age." In addition to the various works of Brewster already mentioned, the following may be added: Notes and Introduction to Carlyle's translation of Legendre's Elements of Geometry (1824); Treatise on Optics (1831); Letters on Natural Magic, addressed to Sir Walter Scott (1832)The Martyrs of Science, or the Lives of Galileo, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler (1841); More Worlds than One (1854).[31]
In his Treatise he demonstrated that vegetal colors were related with the absorption spectra[35] and he described for the first time the red fluorescence of chlorophyll.
History of Scottish Freemasonry
As well as his many scientific works and biographies of notable scientists, Brewster also wrote The History of Free Masonry, Drawn from Authentic Sources of Information; with an Account of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, from Its Institution in 1736, to the Present Time,[36] published in 1804, when he was only 23. The work was commissioned by Alexander Lawrie, publisher to the Grand Lodge of Scotland, to whom the work has been, frequently, mis-attributed. Given that the book bears Lawrie's name and not Brewster's this is understandable. The book became one of the standard works on early Scottish freemasonry although it has been largely superseded by later works. There is no evidence that Brewster was a Freemason at the time he wrote the book, nor any that he became one later.[37]
Opposition to evolution
Brewster's Christian beliefs stirred him to respond against the idea of the transmutation of species and the theory of evolution. His opinion was that "science and religion must be one since each dealt with Truth, which had only one and the same Author."[38] In 1845 he wrote a highly critical review of the evolutionist work Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, in the North British Review.[39] which he considered to be an insult to Christian revelation and a dangerous example of materialism.
In 1862, he responded to Darwin's On the Origin of Species and published the article The Facts and Fancies of Mr Darwin in Good Words. He stated that Darwin's book combined both "interesting facts and idle fancies" which made up a "dangerous and degrading speculation". He accepted adaptive changes, but he strongly opposed Darwin's statement about the primordial form, which he considered an offensive idea to "both the naturalist and the Christian."[40]
Family
Brewster married twice. His first wife, Juliet Macpherson (c. 1776β1850), was a daughter of James Macpherson (1736β1796), a probable translator of Ossian poems. They married on 31 July 1810 in Edinburgh and had four sons and a daughter:[41]
David Edward Brewster (17 August 1815 β) became a military officer (Lieutenant Colonel) serving in India.[42][43]
Henry Craigie (1816β1905) became a military officer and photographer.[42][44]
Margaret Maria Gordon (1823β1907) wrote a book on Brewster,[45] which is considered the most comprehensive description of his life.
Brewster married a second time in Nice, on 26 (or 27) March 1857, to Jane Kirk Purnell (b. 1827), the second daughter of Thomas Purnell of Scarborough.[46] Lady Brewster famously fainted at the Oxford evolution debate of 30 June 1860. Brewster died in 1868, and was buried at Melrose Abbey, next to his first wife and second son.[3][47] The physics building at Heriot-Watt University is named in his honour.

Augustin-Jean Fresnel was a French civil engineer and physicist whose research in optics led to the almost unanimous acceptance of the wave theory of light, excluding any remnant of Newton's corpuscular theory, from the late 1830s until the end of the 19th century. He is perhaps better known for inventing the catadioptric (reflective/refractive) Fresnel lens and for pioneering the use of "stepped" lenses to extend the visibility of lighthouses, saving countless lives at sea. The simpler dioptric stepped lens, first proposed by Count Buffon and independently reinvented by Fresnel, is used in screen magnifiers and in condenser lenses for overhead projectors.
Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a natural philosopher. He was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment that followed. His pioneering book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, consolidated many previous results and established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing infinitesimal calculus.
A kaleidoscope is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection. These reflectors are usually enclosed in a tube, often containing on one end a cell with loose, colored pieces of glass or other transparent materials to be reflected into the viewed pattern. Rotation of the cell causes motion of the materials, resulting in an ever-changing view being presented.
Optics is the branch of physics that studies
Brewster's angle is an angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection. When unpolarized light is incident at this angle, the light that is reflected from the surface is therefore perfectly polarized. This special angle of incidence is named after the Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster (1781β1868).

The book analyzes the fundamental nature of light by means of the refraction of light with prisms and lenses, the diffraction of light by closely spaced sheets of glass, and the behaviour of color mixtures with spectral lights or pigment powders. Opticks was Newton's second major book on physical science and it is considered one of the three major works on optics during the Scientific Revolution. Newton's name did not appear on the title page of the first edition of Opticks.

Optics began with the development of lenses by the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, followed by theories on light and vision developed by ancient Greek philosophers, and the development of geometrical optics in the Greco-Roman world. The word optics is derived from the Greek term ΟΞ± α½ΟΟΞΉΞΊΞ¬ meaning 'appearance, look'. Optics was significantly reformed by the developments in the medieval Islamic world, such as the beginnings of physical and physiological optics, and then significantly advanced in early modern Europe, where diffractive optics began. These earlier studies on optics are now known as "classical optics". The term "modern optics" refers to areas of optical research that largely developed in the 20th century, such as wave optics and quantum optics.
In optics, the corpuscular theory of light states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
A Fresnel rhomb is an optical prism that introduces a 90Β° phase difference between two perpendicular components of polarization, by means of two total internal reflections. If the incident beam is linearly polarized at 45Β° to the plane of incidence and reflection, the emerging beam is circularly polarized, and vice versa. If the incident beam is linearly polarized at some other inclination, the emerging beam is elliptically polarized with one principal axis in the plane of reflection, and vice versa.

I've read that the litmus test for every Boomer is that they know exactly where they learned President Kennedy was assassinated.
I think I was sitting in the living room of our rental at the time watching something else on TV, or maybe it was the funeral itself I was watching; I was 5 6 at the time. (didn't see it in school because I didn't go until I was 6Β½ as a december baby they could have enrolled me when I was 5 but parents thought that was a little young)
More than likely it was on the evening news when we were all watching; because I think I remember Oswald getting shot, too. (or maybe it's a fictional memory from having seen that footage so many times over the last 59 years. )
I have a more distinct memory of watching the first Mercury launch because I was sitting at the kitchen table with my mom watching it; I remember being a bit disappointed because it was over so quick.
I guess I'm a bad boomer, but at least my dad didn't kill him like Ted the Zodiac Killer's dad did.

Jupiter now has 92 moons, astronomers reveal
Jupiter is already considered the king of planets β it is the largest in our solar system. Now, the gas giant also has the largest number of known moons.
Astronomers have observed 12 additional moons orbiting Jupiter, bringing the total number of confirmed moons to 92.
- Article Inline Advertisement 1-
The discovery was made during observations by astronomer Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science and his team. They used the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii in September 2021 and the Dark Energy Camera located on the Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile in August 2022. The Dark Energy Camera can search the sky for dimly lit objects.
Jupiter and its moons were aligned with more distant targets that Sheppard and his team were looking for in the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy objects circling the sun located beyond Neptune's orbit at the edge of the solar system.

"We've been searching for new moons around Jupiter by chance, while our main search is looking for planets in the outer solar system beyond Pluto," Sheppard said.
The team could tell the difference between Jupiter and the objects around it versus the distant objects of the solar system because any objects around Jupiter would be moving at the same speed as the gas giant. Distant solar system objects cannot move as quickly as objects moving with Jupiter.
Follow-up observations of the 12 new moons took about a year to confirm, and the team used the Magellan Telescope in Chile to carry out this work.
None of the moons have names yet since their discovery was announced, but the Minor Planet Center will assign a number to each in the coming months.
The Minor Planet Center tracks the positions of minor planets, comets and space rocks. Under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union, the organization is responsible for the identification, designation and orbital data of these celestial objects.
"The International Astronomical Union allows the naming of any moon larger than 2.4 kilometers in size, half of which of these new discoveries are larger than that, so they will be named," Sheppard said.
Search for new moons
As Jupiter is a bright planet, astronomers have had to deal with the issue of glare and scattered light affecting the space where moons can exist.
Technology is making it easier to observe Jupiter and the area around it in greater detail.
Sheppard and his team are tracking "many, many more moons around Jupiter," but they need more observations to confirm and announce their findings.
Finding additional moons around Jupiter and determining their orbits could help identify targets for future missions. The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, launched in April, and NASA's Europa Clipper mission, scheduled to launch in 2024, will visit Jupiter and some of its moons this decade. And missions can pass newly discovered moons in their path.
"These outer moons can only be visited by these spacecraft when they enter Jupiter's gravitational sphere of influence," said Sheppard.
"The hope is that if we find enough of them, one of them will be just close to the spacecraft's trajectory to get close-up images. These outer moons are important to understand because they are the last remnants of the population of objects that formed in the giant planet region as the rest of the material was incorporated into the planets."
The giant planet region is where the largest planets in the solar system can be found, and it is now devoid of objects because the planets gobbled up all the material in the process of forming.
Sheppard and his team believe these moons are remnants of at least seven larger moons that broke up when they collided with other moons, asteroids or comets. The fracturing of these moons led to the creation of hundreds of smaller moons, Sheppard said.
about the moons
The moons are remnants of what was born in the disk of gas and dust around Jupiter after the planet formed and then captured and pulled most of the material into Jupiter's orbit. These building blocks of planets could provide a window into understanding the early years of the solar system.
Sheppard's team has a knack for finding moons around the giant planets in our solar system.
"In total, we have participated in 70 lunar discoveries around Jupiter," he said via email. "For the other planets, there are 43 discoveries on Saturn, 2 on Uranus and 1 on Neptune".
Saturn has 83 moons, Uranus has 27 and Neptune has 14.
The team is also tracking many additional moons around Saturn, but they are harder to spot because the ringed planet is farther from Earth.
"We believe that Uranus and Neptune also have a large number of small moons, but these planets are even more distant, so it is even more difficult to detect the smaller moons around these planets," said Sheppard | eng | 6b09079c-222b-4bf8-b65f-8ca56a1b157b | https://www.worldstockmarket.net/jupiter-now-has-92-moons-astronomers-reveal/ |
Autonomous Vehicle Maps the Arctic Seafloor
BEN independently follows programmed lines (Photo: NOAA)
A team of engineers and students from the University of New Hampshire's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping recently returned from a voyage that deployed the first autonomous (robotic) surface vessel β the Bathymetric Explorer and Navigator (BEN) β from a NOAA ship far above the Arctic Circle. (Photo by Christina Belton, NOAA)
Far above the Arctic Circle, an autonomous surface vehicle set out to map the seafloor in an effort to improve nautical charts in areas where there is scarce data and vessel traffic is increasing.
A team of engineers and students from the University of New Hampshire's (UNH) Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, together with personnel from NOAA's Office of Coast Survey, recently returned from an Arctic voyage that deployed an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) from the NOAA hydrographic ship Fairweather, a first from a NOAA vessel in the region.
The Fairweather spends each summer surveying the seafloor in West Coast and Alaskan waters to improve the nation's nautical charts. In the Arctic, many of these charts are built from scant sounding data, often from measurements that are hundreds of years old, because there is no additional data. As summer shipping increases in Arctic waters, a national effort is underway to improve the charts to ensure safety, but short summers, limited good weather, remote locations and the vast amount of seafloor to survey makes for a daunting task.
Now, as the capabilities of autonomous survey systems are rapidly advancing, developing autonomous system technology and procedures is a key piece of Coast Survey's autonomous systems strategy, which ultimately targets more efficient and effective data acquisition.
The robotic boat that was deployed on this summer's voyage, UNH's Bathymetric Explorer and Navigator (BEN), increased the survey coverage of the ship's efforts by as much as 25 percent during day operations alone, and if integrated into the ship's routine production survey operations could be operated by existing shipboard personnel.
BEN is a robotic vessel designed to aid the ship's crew in the colossal task of seafloor survey. It was co-designed by UNH engineers and its manufacturer, ASV Global Inc. based in Houston. It is 4 meters long, has a top speed of 5.5 knots and a 16-hour endurance. Autonomy software operated aboard the vessel is a combination of open-source robotic operating systems and software developed by engineers Roland Arsenault and Val Schmidt at the center to tailor BEN's behaviors for hydrographic seafloor survey. BEN is outfitted with state-of-the-art sonar and navigation systems to meet the seafloor survey requirements for nautical charting and safety of navigation. The navigation system provides exact positioning and attitude while BEN plows the ocean's surface, while the sonar paints a swath of measurements below and to the sides of the vessel.
On Saturday, July 28, the Fairweather made the first successful launch of a USV for an operational hydrographic survey from a NOAA vessel in the Arctic. The team conducted four additional deployments, including an extended overnight survey made in coordination with the ship.
In this proof-of-concept expedition BEN operated daily along with the ship's manned survey launches. The two-person team of BEN's operators, which included engineer Andy McLeod, graduate student Lynette Davis along with NOAA hydrographers from the ship's crew, stayed aboard the Fairweather | eng | de1c2a1c-6125-4921-965e-d92791dc4cea | https://www.marinetechnologynews.com/news/autonomous-vehicle-arctic-seafloor-563455 |

Question 2
Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in text book Activity 1.7 (i.e., electrolysis of water) double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas. [CBSE 2015 (Delhi)]
Answer:
In Activity 1.7, water is electrolysed to give H2 gas at one electrode and O2 gas at the other electrode.
2H2O(l) β 2H2(g) + O2(g)
Thus two molecules of water on electrolysis give two molecules of hydrogen gas and one molecule of oxygen gas or in other words the amount of hydrogen gas collected would be double than that of oxygen gas.

Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it ?
OR
An iron nail is dipped in the solution of copper sulphate for about 30 minutes. State the change in colour observed. Give reason for the change. [CBSE 2015 (Delhi)]
Answer:
When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution, the displacement reaction takes place. The colour of copper sulphate solution fades due to the formation of light green solution of iron sulphate.
Question 2
Give an example of a double displacement reaction other than the one given in Activity 1.10 (NCERT Text Book).
Answer:
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid react to form sodium chloride and water.
Question 3
Identify the substances that are oxidised and the substances which are reduced in the following reactions.
(i) 4Na(s) + O2(g) β 2Na2O(s)
(ii) CuO (s) + H2(g) β Cu (s) + H2O(l)
Answer:
(i) Substances oxidised is Na as it gains oxygen and oxygen is reduced.
(ii) Substances reduced is Cu as hydrogen is oxidised as it gains oxygen.
Question 4
What is a balanced chemical equation ? Why should chemical equations be balanced ?
Answer:
A balanced chemical equation has an equal number of atoms of different elements in the reactants and products.
The chemical equations should be balanced to satisfy the law of conservation of mass.
Question 10
Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction ? Explain.
Answer:
Respiration is an exothermic process because during respiration glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body to form carbon dioxide and water along with the production of energy.
Question 11
Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
Answer:
In a decomposition reaction, a single compound breaks down to produce two or more simpler substances.
For example:
While, in a combination reaction, two or more substances simply combine to form a new substance.
For example:
Question 12
Write one equation each for the decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of heat, light or electricity.
OR
Decomposition reactions require energy either in the form of heat or light or electricity for breaking down the reactants. Write one equation each for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of heat, light and electricity. [CBSE 2015 (Delhi)]
Answer:
Question 13
What is the difference between displacement and double displacement reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
Answer:
In displacement reactions, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its solution. For example,
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) β Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq)
This is a displacement reaction where iron displaces copper from its solution.
In double displacement reactions, two reactants in solution exchange their ions. For example,
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl (aq) β AgCl(s) + NaNO3 (aq)
This is a double displacement reaction where silver nitrate and sodium chloride exchange Clβ and NO3β ions between them.
Question 14
In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.
Answer:
Question 15
What do you mean by a precipitation reaction ? Explain by giving examples.
Answer:
A reaction in which an insoluble solid called precipitate is formed that separates from the solution is called a precipitation reaction.
Example : When a solution of iron (III) chloride and ammonium hydroxide are mixed, a brown precipitate of iron (III) hydroxide is formed.
Question 16
Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each:
(a) Oxidation and
(b) Reduction.
Answer:
(a) Oxidation : The addition of oxygen to a substance is called oxidation.
Example :
(i) S(s) + O2(g) β SO2(g) (Addition of oxygen to sulphur)
(ii) 2Mg(s) + O2 (g) β 2MgO(s) (Addition of oxygen to magnesium)
Question 20
Explain the following terms with one example each (a) Corrosion, (b) Rancidity.
Answer:
(a) Corrosion : It is the process in which metals are eaten up gradually by the action of air, moisture or a chemical (such as an acid) on their surface.
Example : When iron is exposed to moist air for a long period of time, its surface acquires a coating of a brown, flaky substance called rust. Rust is mainly hydrated iron (III) oxide [Fe2O3.xH20].
(b) Rancidity : The condition produced by aerial oxidation of fats and oils in foods marked by unpleasant smell and taste is called rancidity.
Rancidity spoils the food materials prepared in fats and oils which have been kept for a considerable time and makes them unfit for eating.
Rancidity can be prevented by adding anti-oxidants to foods containing fats and oils. It can also be prevented by flushing fat and oil containing foods with nitrogen before sealing.
Question 1
Which of the given statements about the reaction below are incorrect?
a. Lead is getting reduced
b. Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised
c. Carbon is getting oxidised
d. Lead oxide is getting reduced
(i) (a) and (b)
(ii) (a) and (c)
(iii) (a), (b) and (c)
(iv) all
Solution:
(i) (a) and (b)
Question 3
What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to iron fillings? Tick the correct answer.
a. Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced
b. Chlorine gas and iron hydroxide are produced
c. No reaction takes place
d Iron salt and water are produced
Solution:
Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced
Question 4
What is a balanced chemical equation? Why should chemical equations be balanced?
Solution:
An equation for a chemical reaction is an equation in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.
Question 9
What is meant by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.
Solution:
An exothermic reaction is one that releases heat.
If 1 mole of N2 molecule reacts with 1 mole of O2 molecule, the heat of 184 KJ has to be supplied to initiate the reaction to give 1 mole of NO molecule. This means that the bonds between N β N and O β O are so strong that they do not break easily. N2 has triple covalent bond between the two N atoms. O2 has a double covalent bond. Thus energy has to be put into the reaction to break the strong bonds. Thus the above reaction is a good example of an endothermic reaction.
Question 10
Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction?
Solution:
During respiration, glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body to form carbon dioxide and water along with the production of energy.
Glucose + oxygen β carbon dioxide + water + energy
It is an exothermic reaction, because energy is produced during this process.
Question 11
Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for decomposition reactions.
Solution:
Essentially, decomposition reactions are the opposite of combination reactions. A compound decomposes (i.e., "splits-up") into two or more compounds and/or elements. For example, mercury (II) oxide will, decompose into mercury metal and oxygen, upon heating:
2HgO β 2Hg + O2
Since heat had to be added to make this reaction occur, it is an endothermic reaction. Most decomposition reactions are endothermic. Another example of decomposition reaction is the heating of calcium carbonate (sea shells, chalk):
Question 12
Write one equation each for decomposition reactions in which energy is supplied in the form of heat, light or electricity?
Solution:
When calcium carbonate is heated, it decomposes to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide:
Question 13
What is the difference between displacement and double displacement reactions? Write relevant equations for the above?
Solution:
The difference between the displacement and double displacement reactions is that in a displacement reaction one element displaces another by virtue of it being more reactive whereas in a double displacement two anions and two cations switch places between two compounds respectively.
For example:
CuSO4 (aq) + Zn(s) β ZnSO4 + Cu(s)
Blue copper sulphate solution reacting with solid zinc will give rise to colourless zinc sulphate solution and solid copper. Thus Zn displaces Cu in the salt form. Zn is more reactive than Cu.
An example of double displacement reaction is the reaction between sodium carbonate and calcium chloride, both in aqueous
Solution:
Na2CO3 (aq) + CaCl2 (aq) β CaCO3 (ppt) + 2NaCl(aq)
Question 14
In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involves displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.
Solution:
Question 15
What do you mean by a precipitation reaction? Explain by giving examples:
Solution:
A precipitation reaction is a reaction in which soluble ions in separate solutions are mixed together to form an insoluble compound that settles out of solution as a solid. This insoluble compound is called a precipitate.
An example of a precipitation reaction
Aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3), when added to a solution containing potassium chloride (KCl), precipitates a white solid, and silver chloride is observed.
AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) β AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)
The silver chloride (AgCl) has formed a solid, which is observed as a precipitate.
Question 16
A shiny brown colored element 'X' on heating in the air becomes black in color. Name the element 'X' and the black coloured compound formed.
Solution:
The shiny brown colored element X is copper metal (Cu). When copper metal is heated in air, it forms a black colored compound copper oxide. So, the black colored compound is the copper oxide or copper (II) oxide, CuO.
Question 17
Why do we apply paint on iron articles?
Solution:
Rust is a soft and porous substance, which gradually falls from the surface of an iron object, and then the iron below starts rusting. Thus, rusting of iron (or corrosion of iron) is a continuous process which, if not prevented in time, eats up the whole iron object. So, when we apply paint on iron articles it reduces the rusting of iron.
Question 18
Oil and fat containing food items are flushed with nitrogen. Why?
Solution:
Packaging fat and oil containing foods in nitrogen gas can prevent rancidity. When the fat and oil present in food materials gets oxidised (in air), their oxidation products have an unpleasant smell and taste. When it is surrounded by unreactive gas, nitrogen, there is no oxygen (of air) to cause its oxidation and make it rancid.
Question 19
Explain the following terms with one example each.
a. Corrosion
b. Rancidity
Solution:
a. Corrosion is the process in which metals are eaten up gradually by the action of air, moisture or a chemical on their surface. Corrosion is caused mainly by the oxidation of metals by the oxygen of air.
Example: Rusting of iron is the most common form of corrosion. When an iron object is left in damp air for a considerable period of time, it gets covered with a red-brown flaky substance called 'rust'. This is called rusting of iron.
b. The condition produced by aerial oxidation of fat and oil in food which is marked by an unpleasant smell and taste is called rancidity.
Example: Rancidity can be retarded by keeping food in a refrigerator.
The refrigerator has a low temperature inside it. When the food is kept in a refrigerator, the oxidation of fat and oil in it is slowed down due to low temperature. So, the development of rancidity due to oxidation is retarded.
Question 20
Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air?
Solution:
To remove the oxide layer and facilitates rapid burning.
Question 23
A solution of a substance 'X' is used for white washing.
Name the substance 'X' and write its formula.
(i) Write the reaction of the substance 'X; named in (ii) above with water
Solution:
Question 24
Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped into it?
Solution:
In this reaction, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution. The deep blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades due to the formation of light green solution of iron sulphate. A red-brown coating of copper metal is formed on the surface of the iron metal. This displacement reaction occurs because iron is more reactive than copper.
In this reaction, copper oxide (CuO) gives the oxygen required for the oxidation of hydrogen; therefore, copper oxide is the oxidizing agent. Hydrogen is responsible for removing oxygen from copper oxide; therefore, hydrogen is the reducing agent here.

2Mg(s) + O2(g) β³β 2MgO(s)
Before burning in air, the magnesium ribbon is cleaned by rubbing with sandpaper.
This is done to remove the protective layer of basic magnesium carbonate from the surface of the magnesium ribbon.
Reactant: Substances which take part in a chemical reaction are called reactants.

Product: New substance formed after a chemical reaction is called a product.
Example: MgO.
(ii) Change in Colour: The chemical reaction between citric acid and purple coloured potassium permanganate solution is characterised by a change in colour from purple to colourless.
The
The chemical reaction between zinc granules and dilute sulphuric acid is also characterised by a change in temperature (which is a rise in temperature).
What is a chemical Equation Class 10?
Chemical Equation: Representation of chemical reaction using symbols and formulae of the substances is called Chemical Equation.
Example: A + B β C + D
In this equation, A and B are called reactants and C and D are called the products. The arrow shows the direction of the chemical reaction. Condition, if any, is written generally above the arrow.
When hydrogen reacts with oxygen, it gives water. This reaction can be represented by the following chemical equation:
Hydrogen + Oxygen β Water
H2 + O2 β H2O
In the first equation, words are used and in second, symbols of substances are used to write the chemical equation. For convenience, the symbol of substance is used to represent chemical equations.
A chemical equation is a way to represent the chemical reaction in a concise and informative way.
A chemical equation can be divided into two types: Balanced Chemical Equation and Unbalanced Chemical Equation.
(a) Balanced Chemical Equation: A balanced chemical equation has the number of atoms of each element equal on both sides.
Example: Zn + H2SO4 β ZnSO4 + H2
In this equation, numbers of zinc, hydrogen and sulphate are equal on both sides, so it is a Balanced Chemical Equation.
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. To obey this law, the total mass of elements present in reactants must be equal to the total mass of elements present in products.
(b) Unbalanced Chemical Equation: If the number of atoms of each element in reactants is not equal to the number of atoms of each element present in the product, then the chemical equation is called Unbalanced Chemical Equation.
Example: Fe + H2O β Fe3O4 + H2
In this example, a number of atoms of elements are not equal on two sides of the reaction. For example; on the left-hand side only one iron atom is present, while three iron atoms are present on the right-hand side. Therefore, it is an unbalanced chemical equation.
Balancing a Chemical Equation: To balance the given or any chemical equation, follow these steps:
Fe + H2O β Fe3O4 + H2Balance the atom which is maximum in number on either side of a chemical equation.
In this equation, the number of oxygen atom is the maximum on the RHS.
To balance the oxygen, one needs to multiply the oxygen on the LHS by 4, so that, the number of oxygen atoms becomes equal on both sides.
Fe + 4 Γ H2O β Fe3O4 + H2
Now, the number of hydrogen atoms becomes 8 on the LHS, which is more than that on the RHS. To balance it, one needs to multiply the hydrogen on the RHS by 4.
Fe + 4 Γ H2O β Fe3O4 + 4 Γ H2
After that, the number of oxygen and hydrogen atoms becomes equal on both sides. The number of iron is one on the LHS, while it is three on the RHS. To balance it, multiply the iron on the LHS by 3.
3 Γ Fe + 4 Γ H2O β Fe3O4 + 4 Γ H2
Now the number of atoms of each element becomes equal on both sides. Thus, this equation becomes a balanced equation
3Fe + 4H2O β Fe3O4 + 4H2.
To Make Equations More Informative:
Writing the symbols of physical states of substances in a chemical equation:
By writing the physical states of substances, a chemical equation becomes more informative.
Gaseous state is represented by symbol (g).
Liquid state is represented by symbol (l).
Solid state is written by symbol (s).
Aqueous solution is written by symbol (aq).
Writing the condition in which reaction takes place: The condition is generally written above and/or below the arrow of a chemical equation.
Thus, by writing the symbols of the physical state of substances and condition under which reaction takes place, a chemical equation can be made more informative.
Types of Chemical Reactions:
Chemical reactions can be classified in following types: (i) Combination Reaction: Reactions in which two or more reactants combine to form one product are called Combination Reactions.
A general combination reaction can be represented by the chemical equation given here:
A + B β AB
Examples:
When magnesium is burnt in the air (oxygen), magnesium oxide is formed. In this reaction, magnesium is combined with oxygen.
Mg(s) + O2(g) β 2MgO(s)
Magnesium + Oxygen β Magnesium Oxide
(ii) Decomposition Reaction: Reactions in which one compound decomposes in two or more compounds or elements are known as Decomposition Reaction. A decomposition reaction is just the opposite of combination reaction.
A general decomposition reaction can be represented as follows :
AB β A + B
Examples:
When calcium carbonate is heated, it decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
CaCO3(s) heatβββ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Calcium carbonate β Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide
When ferric hydroxide is heated, it decomposes into ferric oxide and water
2Fe(OH)3(s) β³β Fe2O3(s) + 3H2O(l)
Thermal Decomposition: The decomposition of a substance on heating is known as Thermal Decomposition.
Example
Example
Example: When silver chloride is put in sunlight, it decomposes into silver metal and chlorine gas.
2 The chemical reactions in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound is known as Displacement Reactions. Displacement reactions are also known as Substitution Reaction or Single Displacement/ replacement reactions.
A general displacement reaction can be represented by using a chemical equation as follows :
A + BC β AC + B
Displacement reaction takes place only when 'A' is more reactive than B. If 'B' is more reactive than 'A', then 'A' will not displace 'C' from 'BC' and reaction will not be taking place.
Examples:
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) β ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Note: Double Displacement Reaction, in which precipitate is formed, is also known as precipitation reaction. Neutralisation reactions are also examples of double displacement reaction.
Precipitation Reaction: The reaction in which precipitate is formed by the mixing of the aqueous solution of two salts is called Precipitation Reaction.
Example:
Neutralization Reaction: The reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water by an exchange of ions is called Neutralization Reaction.
Example:
(v) Oxidation and Reduction Reactions: Oxidation: Addition of oxygen or non-metallic element or removal of hydrogen or metallic element from a compound is known as Oxidation.
Elements or compounds in which oxygen or non-metallic element is added or hydrogen or metallic element is removed are called to be Oxidized. Reduction: Addition of hydrogen or metallic element or removal of oxygen or non-metallic element from a compound is called Reduction.
The compound or element which goes under reduction in called to be Reduced.
Oxidation and Reduction take place together. Oxidizing agent:The reaction in which oxidation and reduction both take place simultaneously is called Redox reaction.
When copper oxide is heated with hydrogen, then copper metal and hydrogen are formed.
CuO + H2 β Cu + H2O
(i) In this reaction, CuO is changing into Cu. Oxygen is being removed from copper oxide. Removal of oxygen from a substance is called Reduction, so copper oxide is being reduced to copper.
(ii) In this reaction, H2 is changing to H2O. Oxygen is being added to hydrogen. Addition of oxygen to a substance is called Oxidation, so hydrogen is being oxidised to water.
The substance which gets oxidised is the reducing agent.
The substance which gets reduced is the oxidizing agent.
(vi) Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions: Exothermic Reaction: Reaction which produces energy is called Exothermic Reaction. Most of the decomposition reactions are exothermic.
Example:
Respiration is a decomposition reaction in which energy is released.
When quick lime (CaO) is added to water, it releases energy.
Endothermic Reaction: A chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed is called Endothermic Reaction.
Example: Decomposition of calcium carbonate.
Effects of Oxidation Reactions in Everyday life: Corrosion and Rancidity. Corrosion: The process of slow conversion of metals into their undesirable compounds due to their reaction with oxygen, water, acids, gases etc. present in the atmosphere is called Corrosion.
Example: Rusting of iron.
Rusting: Iron when reacts with oxygen and moisture forms red substance which is called Rust.
The rusting of iron is a redox reaction.
Corrosion (rusting) weakens the iron and steel objects and structures such as railings, car bodies, bridges and ships etc. and cuts short their life.
Methods to Prevent Rusting
By painting.
By greasing and oiling.
By galvanisation.
Corrosion of Copper: Copper objects lose their lustre and shine after some time because the surface of these objects acquires a green coating of basic copper carbonate, CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 when exposed to air.
Corrosion of Silver Metal: The surface of silver metal gets tarnished (becomes dull) on exposure to air, due to the formation of a coating of black silver sulphide(Ag2S) on its surface by the action of H2S gas present in the air.
Rancidity: The taste
2Mg + O2 β 2MgO
Decomposition reaction: A single reactant breaks down to yield two or more products.
Redox reaction: Chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously.
4. Oxidation: Reaction that involves the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
5. Reduction: Reaction that shows the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
ZnO + C β Zn + CO
ZnO is reduced to Znβreduction. C is oxidized to COβOxidation.
6. Effects of Oxidation Reactions in Our Daily Life:
Corrosion: It is an undesirable change that occurs in metals when they are attacked by moisture, air, acids and bases.
Example
Preventive methods of rancidity: Adding antioxidants to the food materials, storing food in the airtight container, flushing out air with nitrogen gas and refrigeration.
Question-1
What is the method of balancing chemical equation? Solution:
Hit and trial method is used for balancing simple chemical equations. In this method, coefficients before the symbols/formulae of the reactants and products are adjusted in such a way that the total number of atoms of each element on both the sides becomes equal.
Question-2
Why is it necessary to balance a chemical equation? Solution:
We know that, according to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of all the atoms present in the reactants should be equal to that of all the atoms present in the products. This law will hold good only when the number of atoms of all types of elements on both sides is equal. Thus balancing of chemical equation is necessary so that the law of conservation of mass may be obeyed.
Question-4
A sample of water weed was placed in water and exposed to sunlight. Bubbles of a gas are seen on the surface of the leaves.
(i) Name the gas evolved.
(ii) Name the process taking place.
(iii) Write a balanced equation of reaction taking place. Solution:
(i) Oxygen
(ii) Photosynthesis
(iii) 6CO2 + 6H2O β> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Question-5
Give balanced equations, wherever possible, or where this is not possible, explain the following by means of examples:
i) A reaction which gives out heat.
ii) A reaction which takes place with the help of sunlight.
iii) A reaction which is brought about by electric current.
iv) A reversible reactions.
(v) A reaction with a solid and gas which produces heat. Solution: Question-6
Balance the following chemical equations:
Question-7
Write the uses of decomposition reactions. Solution:
The decomposition reactions carried out by electricity are used to extract several metals from their naturally occurring compounds like chlorides and oxides.
When passing electricity decomposes the fused metal chloride or metal oxide, then metal is produced at the cathode.
Question-8
What are the characteristics of chemical reactions? Solution:
1. Evolution of a gas
2. Formation of a precipitate
3. Change in colour
4. Change in temperature
5. Change in state.
Question-9
Can rancidity retarded by storing foods away from light? Solution:
In the absence of light, the oxidation of fats and oils present in food is slowed down and hence the development of rancidity is retarded.
Question-10
What are the different ways can make more informative about the chemical equation? Solution:
1. By indicating the "physical states" of the reactants and products.
2. By indicating the "heat changes" taking place in the reaction.
3. By indicating the "conditions" under which the reaction takes place | eng | 4de96a57-056e-4ac8-acc2-f320b24083e4 | https://biographyandhistory.com/ncert-solutions-for-class-10-science-chapter-1/ |

GreenA Consultants - Zero Energy Home
In Venturesberg Township, Zimbabwe, in a place where electricity blackouts and water disruptions occur often, building a sustainable home seemed like the way to go for this progressive client. This project is targeted to achieve an energy reduction of more than 50% and a water reduction usage from municipal sources by 50% with on-site rainwater harvesting.
These are some of the techniques being used in this project:
Passive Design Alterations
To reduce the heat gain of the house, vents will be added into the gabled roof to remove heat-gain in the attic, preventing heat from seeping into the habitable rooms.
Solar Energy and Hot-Water System
A domestic hot-water system will also be used to provide hot water for the house's use, and solar panels to supply the home's energy demand.
Reducing Heat-Island Effect with Plants
In that area, temperature can rise up to 30Β°C in the warmest months. Drought tolerant plants like Pigeonwood and Sierra Leone Lily will be used to reduce heat-island effect.
Energy Efficiency
CFD analysis will be done to verify the thermal comfort, and glass of SC values <0.5 will be used to filter heat from entering the habitable rooms.
Water Efficiency
To attain 50% water reduction, some methods such as rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation system and efficient fittings such as dual flush cisterns, low flow showers will be used.
Resources Conservation
To conserve materials in a bid to protect the environment, there will be a composting corner recommended to be placed within the kitchen, where food waste can be composted. To cultivate green habits amongst the family and especially the children, there will be reusable bags placed beside the door and a recycling corner for material segregation. | eng | 8d28f0a3-4ec5-4560-a79d-8e7428fb91b7 | https://planitree.com.mytempdomain.net/greena-consultants-zero-energy-home |

Introduction
Studio Pro features two tools meant to simplify working with elements: Desktop Recorder and Browser Recorder. They allow you to create a sequence of interaction with elements without the need to define each element separately.
How to launch the tool
In this section, we will go through the usage of both Desktop and Browser recorders, because the process of working with them is pretty much the same. The only and crucial difference is that the Desktop recorder is used to work with desktop apps, whereas the Browser recorder interacts with browsers.
To open the tool, navigate to the menu "Tools" β "Process recorder" β "Desktop"/"Browser".
You can also start the tool by clicking on the "REC" icon in the top toolbar.
After opening the Desktop/Browser recorder, you will get into the selecting mode. Studio Pro will minimize and you will see a tool status window:
The status window looks the same for both recorders
Now you can start creating a sequence. There are two selection options: you can select an element to be clicked or an input field to be filled with a value.
To select an element to be clicked:
Point the mouse cursor on the element.
Press CTRL+X.
Create a sequence of clicks by just repeating the actions described above.
To select an input field to be filled:
Point the mouse cursor on the input field.
Press CTRL+Y.
Create a sequence of inputs by just repeating the actions described above.
A summary of the sequence of elements is displayed in the tool status Window.
Note: you cannot select more than ten elements at once. After selecting the last (the tenth) element, you will automatically return to Studio Pro. If you need to select more elements, just open the Desktop Recorder tool again and create a new sequence.
When you are done with selecting elements, press ESC to save the elements and return to Studio Pro.
Result
As a result, you will see activity blocks on the canvas. The only thing left to be done is to fill in the "Value" parameter of the Input to desktop app or Input to browser activity.
Example
Here is an example of a workflow created with Desktop Recorder.
Let us create a simple bot that will open Notepad, change font and font size and input the "Hello, world!" text.
Open Studio Pro, log in, and create a new file (as a project or in a "Playground" mode).
Put an Open application activity block on the canvas and select Notepad to be opened. | eng | 31c03254-706b-46db-bb6e-f9b60906d4ea | https://help.electroneek.com/hc/en-us/articles/5445860430749-Desktop-and-browser-recorders |
Is a Calorie a Calorie? Not According to Research.
For years, nutrition experts have been saying that "a calorie is a calorie" β that as long as you were staying within your allotted calorie goals and exercising enough, you'd lose weight. But new research is showing that this actually might not be as true as once thought. The timing of a meal may be just as important as the amount of calories you're eating in a day.
The Science
Recent animal studies have shown that the body may process food differently at different times of the day. Food eaten late at night can prompt weight gain more than food eaten earlier in the day due to hormone levels, physical activity, changes in body temperature, and the way food is digested and absorbed.
In a 2013 study, researchers found that overweight people who ate their largest meal after 3 PM lost less weight during a 20-week weight loss program than overweight people who ate their largest meal before 3 PM. The amount of calories they consumed, the amount of time they slept, and the amount of exercise they got was the same.
Another smaller 2015 study measured the amount of calories burned following a meal. Women who ate lunch after 4:30 PM burned fewer calories from "resting and digesting" than women who ate lunch at 1:00 PM. The amount of calories eaten and the amount of physical activity was the same. The women who ate later also had more difficulty burning off carbohydrates and had decreased tolerance to glucose β a risk factor for developing diabetes.
Late Night Snacking
It's just not the timing of the food that makes a difference, though. People who eat late at night tend to indulge in extra-salty and extra-sweet snacks, like popcorn, chips, and ice cream, which tend to be more caloric.
So what can you do to ensure that you're staying on track at night?
One seemingly obvious answer is to keep unhealthy, tempting foods out of the house. When you're sitting on the couch craving potato chips at 9 PM, it's a lot easier to hold off if they're still on the grocery store shelf, rather than in your pantry.
Another thing you can do is make sure you're not overly restricting yourself during the day. If you don't allow yourself enough food to keep you satisfied during the day, you're more likely to give in and binge at night. Make sure you're eating a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a few satiating snacks in between.
People often think of dinner as the biggest meal of the day, but don't fall into that mentality. Instead, make breakfast or lunch your biggest meal and go lighter for dinner. There's a phrase that says "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper". What this means is eat your biggest meal early in the morning, then gradually reduce the amount you're eating as the day goes on.
Now we want to hear from you! Do you eat late at night? Or do you eat your biggest meal early in the morning? What tips and tricks do you have for staying on track late at night | eng | cc42e54e-04c7-4d94-a229-8b5ab201a4cd | https://www.valleymedicalweightloss.com/is-a-calorie-a-calorie/ |
