Childhood Obesity Research Paper
Childhood obesity is becoming more common in today's world. Obesity has become a public health problem in many nations especially the United States. According to CDC the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "obesity now affects 1 in 6 children and adolescents in the United States. The reality of it is children's eating habits can easily affect their future if it is not affecting them already. Everyone needs to come together to help stop childhood obesity by primarily addressing this issue.

Childhood obesity has increased to epidemic levels over the past two decades. Twenty-five percent of American kids are overweight and eleven percent are considered obese. Children who are overweight or obese are known to have significant physical and psychological health complications. Some contributing factors to the disease are environmental factors, lifestyle…
Childhood obesity has been a major public health crisis in the United States in recent years as the prevalence of childhood obesity has increased tremendously in modern times. Many factors played a role in the rise of childhood obesity in the United States in modern times, and there are many factors which cause childhood obesity including genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors (Karnik & Kanekar, 1).

The solution to the increasing rates of childhood obesity is to require kids to participate in extracurricular activities or sports that keep them physically active. This not only needs to be enforced by the schools in which the kids attend, but also by their parents. This will solve the problem by keeping children active on a regular basis, which is key to maintaining a healthy body weight.

I totally agree! In general the character movements should get smoother. Still feels like beeing in a robot movement simulation, than in an apocalyptic game where the last thing you should worry is your character movement.
Sure I'm aware of not being able to sprint upstairs or uphill like on a horizontical level, but I think the way the "walking slow upwards" is not smooth & fluent in progressive movements. Thats what I wanted to say. It should be able to sprint a bit, like you can in real life, but then get tired quickly and have to slow it down.
As the status is today, it feels like being trapped when you're chased by a bandit/zombie and have to slow down right as the hill/stairs starts. | eng | 9e4aa1d4-2a18-4928-a1b6-ab8168da87d3 | https://feedback.bistudio.com/p/Lazercat/ |
Joan of Arc - Essay
Throughout the life of Saint Joan of Arc she showed and proved that she possessed three outstanding virtues of Justice, courage, and spirituality. Joan of Arc was one of the first women that ever Joined an army and everyday she showed that she was courageous and Just. Saint Joan also proved that she was Just when she refused to lead an attack against innocent civilians even though the general gave her specific orders dodo so. It is also known that Saint Joan hated seeing anyone in a type of bloodshed or pain.
Even though Saint Joan was Just it did not keep her from being courageous.
One way Saint Joan proved that she was courageous was by being a women and leading the French army in fifteenth century when at the time being a women in the army was unacceptable. But even as a child Saint Joan of Arc showed much courage. Once as a child a man with an ax came out of the woods threatening to kill everyone and as everyone ran away little Joan of Arc approached him, talked to him and convinced him to set the ax down and stop the threats.
As many courageous acts Saint Joan made it was her spirituality that kept her going at times she did not know exactly what to do.

It was most likely Saint Jean's spirituality that helped win every battle considering before every battle she would give great praise to God.
Another example of Jean's spirituality Is how she heard "voices" from God every since she was a child to when she was a young adult. These voices as well helped her through Just about everything from the point when she was fighting battles to when she was trying to find the Dauphin In a large crowd. Even though Saint Joan of Arc was put through many tough obstacles In life her character did not change and she remained Just, courageous, and spiritual throughout her life.

Per Netflix (opens in new tab), the series is set to explore "the span of their relationship, from the early days of the couple's courtship to the challenges and controversies that prompted them to step back from the Royal Family."
"I can't believe they're putting this type of content out there," Kinsey Schofield told Express. "Once you open yourself up like this… there is no going back. Perception changes of you. You now seem more attainable. You are officially a Kardashian."
"I do think that Netflix was looking to use the hype from William and Catherine's visit to steal some headlines, which is unfortunate because the Prince and Princess of Wales haven't been here in almost a decade and Earthshot is something to be genuinely proud of," she said.
"I'm sad that Harry is stoking the flames instead of allowing his brother his moment. He continues to seem very bitter."
As for the consequences of putting out this documentary, Schofield has some pretty grim predictions. "The Firm can take it but royal watchers are already very unhappy that this is being released so close to the death of the Queen," she claimed. "I think the public might turn on them."
Further commenting on the trailer's inclusion of a photo of Kate and William looking a little rattled while staring at the camera, Schofield said, "Kate's family would never take footage of Meghan and include her on a television show streamed for millions without her permission.

Aingeal Rose & Ahonu ask the Akashic Records is it the New Earth, or transformed Earth?
These are questions for Source in the Akashic Records concerning the new Earth.
Is 'new Earth' the correct name, or does that imply destruction of the 'old Earth'? Should we use the term 'Ascension Earth' or something similar instead?
What does Source say about the 'new' or 'ascension' Earth?
What is the condition of our Earth at the present moment?
Does Source want a physical world or is the new Earth something more etheric? And if it is etheric, can we assume that's the end of suffering, or is there suffering in dimensions that are not physical?
With 3D being a polarity (positive and negative), can we ever have a physical world that's in peace and harmony as long as we have a dualistic pattern going on here?
What would Source want us to contribute to the Earth?
Are we just in a cosmic cycle that's going to happen the way it happens, regardless of us?
And are we headed for a micronova in the next 50 years?
Is the craziness we're experiencing lately with mass shootings, murders, aggression, war-mongering, etc., just a condition of the Earth and what's happening with it? Or is it an sign of something more going on?

I will be with you always, even until the end of the world – Jesus
Emotional Maturity
Often, in our faith journey, we focus on specific areas of our life that we need to grow in. Many will focus on intellectual growth, learning more about the things of God. Others will focus on spiritual growth, letting the things of God grow within them. These are both good things to do.
A successful faith journey makes course corrections along the way."Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, 'This is the way you should go,' whether to the right or to the left" (Isaiah 30:21 NLT).
Another area for us to grow in is our emotions. We mustn't think that our faith journey is narrowly dependent on any one area of our life, for it is our entire life that the Lord Jesus wants us to be sanctified. If you want to grow in your faith, you must mature emotionally.
Trust God's plans more than your feelings."The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations" (Psalm 33:11 NKJV).
Too often, people will think that emotional maturity is having less emotion in their lives. They will try to cover up their pain and their anger, and all the while, it continues to build up within them. Emotional maturity isn't trying to turn off your emotions but to process them appropriately.
One of the greatest signs of a mature faith is in the mercy shown to others."The Lord God has told us what is right and what he demands: 'See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God'" (Micah 6:8 CEV).
Emotional maturity is where the believer has control over their emotions as opposed to their emotions having control over them. The way the mature believer does this is by allowing the Lord to have control over them. You only hold onto what you have refused to give to God.
If you don't control your emotions, they will control you."A [shortsighted] fool always loses his temper and displays his anger, but a wise man [uses self-control and] holds it back" (Proverbs 29:11 AMP).
Emotional maturity doesn't mean we don't have anger, but it means we learn to rebuke unrighteous anger and turn to the Lord to help guide us on how to respond appropriately only to righteous anger. We must learn to separate good from bad in our emotions.
It takes a greater strength to restrain oneself than it does to respond in anger."For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age" (Titus 2:11-12 NIV).
People are going to mistreat us, and when they do, we will find out just how emotionally mature we really are. The Lord allows the test not that you might fail but that you would learn to grow from all you are going through. Don't squander a chance to grow in the midst of your adversityEmotional maturity doesn't mean we won't have our emotions elevated, with feelings of frustration and anger welling up inside of us. But what it does mean is when the triggers are there, we will learn to let go of things faster and not dwell on them. It is in the dwelling that things overwhelm us.
You only have to carry what you won't let go of NKJV).
As we mature more emotionally, we will start to prepare for the emotionally charged times before they even come upon us. Ee can predetermine not to accept or receive the inappropriate words or the actions that will inevitably come. Darkness cannot invade where the light remains shining.
Never underestimate what God can accomplish through you when others mistreat you."It is true that you planned to do something bad to me. But really, God was planning good things. God's plan was to use me to save the lives of many people. And that is what happened." (Genesis 50:20 ERV).
Wherever you are right now in your emotional maturity, the Lord can take you higher. With all of your might, you must learn to simply let go and place your thoughts directly toward the Lord. The closer you get to God, the further you will be from the antics of men.
What you think about, has you."You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You" (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV).
Exceedingly grateful I am that you, beloved brother Paul, wrote, "One of the greatest signs of a mature faith is in the mercy shown to others," and also heavenly highlighted, "The Lord God has told us what is right and what he demands: 'See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God'" (Micah 6:8 CEV). Mercy!
Thank you very much for your continuing availability as a valued vessel pouring out of our faultless Father of Mercies and His ceaselessly compassionate Christ, our merciful and faithful high priest, ever living to make merciful intercession for each of us, even us.
"John answered, A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing, he can take unto himself nothing] except as it has been granted to him from heaven. [A man must be content to receive the gift which is given him from heaven; there is no other source] (John 3:27 AMPC).
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! We are so blessed in our day that we have the Word readily available in a language we understand, that we can soak ourselves in the truths of God's Word and allow it to penetrate us so deeply. Blessings to you in all the ways that God is using you! | eng | e846a0e8-b2c8-432e-ae63-4cf5dc46a20f | https://hehasyou.org/2023/09/24/emotional-maturity/ |
Eliminating the idea of waste®
How to talk with your loved ones about the 3 Rs during the holidays
For those of us who carefully consider how our actions affect the planet, it can be difficult to discuss the topic with people who don't share our concerns. That frustration is magnified when the people in question are friends and family!
It's a great idea to encourage these loved ones to start taking small actions to minimise their footprint. But we all know that doing so, even with the best of intentions, can cause conflict.
We've come up with some tips for inspiring your family and friends to reduce, reuse and recycle – without adding stress to the holiday season.
Lead with compassion
It's hard to watch loved ones skip the recycling bin, buy fast fashion, or throw out lots of food. This seeming lack of regard for the Earth can be really frustrating.
Giving the guilt trip will only make a person less likely to listen to what you're saying, so assume that your loved one has good intentions. Instead of saying "Why are we having holiday dinner on disposable plates? That's so wasteful!", opt for: "I'd be happy to do all of the dishes if we used reusable plates and cutlery."
Keep it casual
No one likes to be told what to do. We like to discover things for ourselves! We also don't necessarily change our minds based on facts. Research shows that the information deficit model of communication (in which people change their minds and behaviours once given the facts) doesn't hold up. Behaviour change is more about our values and circumstances and the social norms in our circle.
By working the 3 Rs into your conversations naturally and modelling change, instead of forcing these conversations, you can encourage your loved ones to do their own discovery. Mention how you're really excited by the community response to your TerraCycle public drop-off point, or that you've opted to give experiences as gifts this year instead of things.
Recognise barriers
While many aspects of reducing, reusing and recycling are accessible, the simple fact is that it can take time, money, or other resources to live more sustainably. For instance, opting for a new holiday outfit made of natural materials over a fast-fashion garment could be an expensive investment. Using public transportation to arrive at the party instead of driving would depend on having a bus stop or train station nearby.
If you do bring up specific ways your loved ones could consider being more sustainable, be ready to listen. Maybe they'll even be open to your help with creative problem-solving. Don't forget to mention that TerraCycle has manyfree recycling programs for hard-to-recycle items!
Don't put too much pressure on yourself
As you head into holiday get-togethers, don't set goals for how many times you can bring up the 3 Rs, or for how many loved ones commit to making eco-friendly changes. Focus on what you can control: yourself. If conversations start to get tense, leave them for another time. Use phrases like, "Thanks for being willing to discuss this. I can see where you're coming from. Let's bring it up another time."
Celebrate the small wins
Recognise that big changes are hard to make and habits are hard to break. The good news? Living more sustainably is not all or nothing. Don't doubt that any small changes your loved ones make will add up to impact. And once they feel empowered by the choices they've made to help the planet, they'll be likely to stick with it and make even bigger changes. | eng | 08f9457b-7266-4f8d-b414-03fcbd3f4926 | https://terracycleanz.blog/2022/12/20/how-to-talk-with-your-loved-ones-about-the-3-rs-during-the-holidays/ |
OpenAI Unveils New and Improved AI Image Generator: Dall-E 3
OpenAI plans to integrate it with ChatGPT in the future and offer more protection for artists who say image generators are trained on their work.
OpenAI has a new version of its AI image generator, dubbed Dall-E 3, which it says can handle "significantly more nuance and detail" than Dall-E 2.
"Modern text-to-image systems have a tendency to ignore words or descriptions, forcing users to learn prompt engineering," OpenAI says. "Dall-E 3 represents a leap forward in our ability to generate images that exactly adhere to the text you provide."
This includes creating renderings of even the most minute details of the text prompt, and appropriately spacing them between other elements of the scene, such as the moon above the street in the image below.
Dall-E 3 promises to more accurately generate human hands, a task that has eluded many AI image generators. Competitor Midjourney made a similar announcement last month, with a new feature that allows users to request edits to only a portion of the image (i.e. "Remove one finger").
OpenAI also announced plans to integrate Dall-E 3 with ChatGPT Plus in the coming weeks. By combining the chatbot's language skills with the image generator, the idea is to create even more precise images with customization opportunities.
"When prompted with an idea, ChatGPT will automatically generate tailored, detailed prompts for Dall-E 3 that bring your idea to life," OpenAI says. "If you like a particular image, but it's not quite right, you can ask ChatGPT to make tweaks with just a few words."
Dall-E 2 is currently not free—OpenAI charges a small fee for image "credits"—and ChatGPT Plus costs $20 per month. The only major AI chatbot that offers image generation for free currently is Microsoft's Bing Chat AI. Bing Chat also runs on OpenAI's powerful GPT-4 model.
In the Dall-E 3 announcement, OpenAI acknowledges growing concerns around the deceptiveness of AI-generated images. "We're also researching the best ways to help people identify when an image was created with AI," OpenAI says. The company is working on an internal tool to decipher AI- versus human-generated art, and says it will share more soon. We're still waiting for OpenAI to revive its tool to detect AI-generated text, which it disabled in July due to poor performance.
In an apparent acknowledgement of the pending lawsuits from artists who argue that AI image generators are trained on their works, OpenAI debuted a new tool for artists to opt out their works. OpenAI also says DALL-E 3 will decline requests for images "in the style of a living artist."
A new-and-improved AI image generator from OpenAI further sets the stage for such images to become increasingly commonplace. As they are not protected under copyright law, per a recent court ruling, they can be created, posted, and sold freely. "You don't need our permission to reprint, sell or merchandise them," OpenAI says | eng | e82765cb-250b-4b36-abc0-7d0177f5685c | https://me.pcmag.com/en/ai/19414/openai-unveils-new-and-improved-ai-image-generator-dall-e-3 |
The Subconscious Mind
The Subconscious Mind's job is to manage and process much, much greater quantities of information and activity than our Conscious Mind is able to.
We can drive home and realise we haven't been paying attention for five minutes – the Subconscious Mind makes that possible. Even when we don't Consciously know whether we've spent enough money to have our card declined, our Subconscious Mind knows. And when we make an approach to a potential love interest, our Subconscious generally knows whether we are going to get a 'Yes' or a 'No'. It knows everything about us. If some theories of quantum physics are correct, it may know everything about everything, or at least be connected to the source that does. | eng | b600147e-2d10-4868-91fe-a8e737148701 | https://www.kissingconsciousness.com/binary/the-subconscious-mind/ |

Takayama Sōzei: Renga from the Ashes
By the time of the Ashikaga Shogunate (1336-1573 A.D.), Japanese
poetry was in a period of regression. Composition of tanka (5-7-5-7-7), akin to what we saw from the Heian period and
the Kamakura Shogunate was not being genuinely pursued. There were aristocrats
still producing poetry that was reminiscent of this period, but, with the
exception of Shōtetsu and perhaps a few others, the poetry was mediocre.
During this dearth of creativity arose a new form of
composing poetry: renga. To one who
is unfamiliar with all this jargon renga actually
looks a lot like tanka. Renga is "linked verse" and consist of
two parts. The first part is called a hokku
and has a 5-7-5 syllable structure and it is followed by a 7-7 couplet. When
read it all together it looks exactly like a tanka. For those of you paying attention, the hokku is the same as a haiku.
The art of haiku came from renga, but was not popularized until a
few hundred years later.
The reason why renga
was novel and interesting was that people would compose poetry together. No
longer were poems static pieces of text attributable to only one person, but
instead they became a cooperative work of literary art. One person would write
a hokku and then another would cap it
with a couplet. And then somebody else could stick another hokku after the couplet so that the couplet worked with both, and
so on, and so on. There were all kinds of rules about what kind of language can
be used, and how often a topic can be repeated. But most important rule was
that the poetic sequence had coherence. Sometimes people would take previously
used hokku and attach a completely
different couplet to it; changing the meaning entirely.
People interested in this kind of thing would get together
for poetry gatherings and have a blast. It seems to me that most of the poets
of this time were either samurai
sensitive to aesthetics, or Buddhist monks who probably had nothing better to
do.
The guy I want to talk about today is Takayama Sōzei (d. 1455
A.D.). He was a military man who studied under Shōtetsu and was one of the
founding fathers of medieval renga (there
was another guy by the name of Nijō Yoshimoto who could probably be considered the founding father, I will address him
later). After the death of Nijō Yoshimoto renga fell into decline. Sōzei revitalized the art. He was a versatile poet
who could write with a sense of miyabi
(courtly charm), ushin (unapologetic
pathos), and the Buddhist concept of sabi
(loneliness). Most importantly, he was renga
poet, which means he was adept at adding depth to someone else's poetic
fragment.
Unfortunately, I could not find much of his poetry, and what
I found was already put together like a tanka.
I am not even sure if he wrote both parts. Soon I will translate some
transcripts for the more famous poetic gatherings.
As you can see form this poem, the 7-7 couplet comes
before the 5-7-5 hokku. The initial
couplet has a strong element of sabi combined
with the feeling of being in a new places, which makes me think of Saigyō,
since he was always travelling. The hokku
utilizes the kigo (seasonal word)
of pampas grass, susuki in Japanese. Susuki is always associated with autumn
so there is an obvious convergence between the couplet and hokku.
This hokku was
difficult to translate and I am not sure I got the main verb "kaesu" right. I do like the
juxtaposition of shigure (late autumnal
showers) and momiji (leaves changing
to their fall color). He used seasonal words from the beginning and end of
autumn. It's a nice contrast. | eng | 495e46d7-b75f-4cd1-a748-999102b51e99 | http://classicaljapanesetranslations.blogspot.com/2013/02/takayama-sozei-vanguard-of-renga.html |
Better Whiskey, What is better whiskey or cognac With a Clear Explanation
In this article, I'll talk about the topic What is better whiskey or cognac, and I'll try to cover as much information as possible.
Medicinally it's said that cognac is better for your heart than whisky and rarely results in a hangover - great benefits certainly but for us, the sheer depth and intensity of flavour, fruitiness, warmth and complexity means that cognac will always be the King of Spirits.
What is healthier cognac or whiskey?
From a health standpoint, cognac is healthier than whisky, and rarely has a hangover. There are certainly great benefits, but for us, it is cognac's deep flavor, fruitiness, warmth, and complexity that make it the king of spirits.
Is cognac similar to whiskey?
Cognac, of course, is brandy specifically from the Cognac region of France. Like Scotch whisky or tequila (a type of mezcal), it comes from the actual place for which its named. But unlike Scotch, made from malted barley, Cognac is made from a much more delicate, seasonal raw material: grapes.
Why is cognac more expensive than whiskey?
Cognac tends to be more expensive than other distilled spirits, like whiskey, because production costs are higher. Resources such as grapes grown in specific regions (the Cognac region of France) and casks made out of Limousin oak are used, which add to the high cost of Cognac.
Why is cognac different from whiskey?
The primary difference is a foundational one: whisky is grains, Cognac is grapes. Then, grains get beered, and grapes get wined. Then, the regulations kick in – Cognac is even more tightly-controlled than Scotch single malt whisky is – but honestly, from there on out, it's all, for the most part, pretty similar.
Is cognac a healthy drink?
According to an article in Livestrong, there is scientific evidence that Cognac may be good for you in moderation. These benefits include: -increase antioxidant levels that can prevent risk of clogged arteries, heart disease, cancer and vision loss and may even help the body absorb other antioxidants.
Who drinks cognac?
Who Drinks The Most Cognac? Five hundred and seventy-seven percent of all cognac sales are from the 0-to-49-year-old age bracket. It is more common for men to consume cognac (78% of servings and 73% of monthly drinkers), and this trend is increasing.
Is cognac high end?
Cognac is much beloved but not always fashionable. Here we look at exclusive, luxury cognacs for the supremely wealthy and the indulgent. Cognac is brandy, not all brandy is Cognac. Brandy dates back to the 16th century and we have the Dutch to thank for creating this most alluring spirit.
What is so special about cognac?

The cognac snifter glass is suggested for a traditional tasting moment, after dinner as a digestive, where it is served neat and you hold the glass to warm the cognac by hand. During dinner, drinking cognac neat is recommended.
Is Hennessy stronger than whiskey?
Is Brandy Stronger Than Whiskey? The taste of whiskey is usually stronger, whereas the flavor of brandy is typically lighter and sweeter. A whiskey's flavor will vary based on how it was made. There will be more oak, tobacco, and malt content, but the spirit will be stronger.

What does XO mean in cognac?
The VSOP category includes designations such as "Old" or "Reserve". XO stands for "Extra Old": XO cognacs are made only from eaux-de-vie at least six years old. Cognacs such as "Napoleon" or "Old Reserve" are equivalent to XO cognac.
Which is the best cognac brand?
Hennessy is a cognac house that needs no introduction as it's one of the most well-known cognac brands in the world — it's also the top-selling brand in the United States. Hennessy has one of the largest collections of eaux-de-vie in the world, with over 350,000 barrels stored in 65 cellars.
Is Hennessy better than Remy Martin?
Even though Hennessy sells more Cognac overall, it seems that when comparing the two collections, they both win big. According to brand ambassador Maurice Hennessy, an eighth-generation family member, the company's V.S. expression is the most consumed Cognac in the world. And as for Rémy, its V.S.O.P.
How do you properly drink cognac?
As an aperitif, cognac is usually consumed neat. Adding a drop of water will reveal more fruity, floral, and spicy aromas, making the tasting experience smoother.
Do you drink cognac warm or cold?
Cognac should be drunk at room temperature. Do not heat Cognac as it destroys the flavors as the alcohol evaporates. If you have stored Cognac below room room temperature, perhaps in a cellar, take the bottle out at least an hour before drinking.
Is cognac a hard liquor?
Is Cognac A Hard Liquor? Traditionally, cognac is distilled from wine and aged in wood, while brandy is an alcoholic drink made from distilled spirits and wine. A cognac is the strongest of all brandies, and the process of making it is extremely complex.
Does cognac taste good?
The exquisite taste of cognac also comes down to the skill of the cellar master in determining when an eau-de-vie has matured to its utmost. These are then enjoyed neat, as in a single vintage or a blend. | eng | 616f1a4d-d287-4029-b185-3fcd51d8ba6c | https://www.antiques-art-collectibles.com/better-whiskey-what-is-better-whiskey-or-cognac-with-a-clear-explanation/ |

The Thirst For Revenge
This story is about a lady named Alexandra whose parents were brutally murdered by the Faceless Gangs who were sent by the Famous Twelve to eradicate the governmental mayor lineage of kutana city which was ruled by Desmond Elliott (Alexandra's father). Being a veracious man, he had enemies as friends and friends as enemy who were vying for his post to overthrow him.
He was annihilated alongside with his wife when his glory was at its peak but Alexandra was spared to witness the disaster that befell her parents but the famous twelve never knew she would be a pain in the a$$.
In the thirst for revenge, Alexandra travelled to Japan and went to martial arts school where she learned the taekwondo style and the ninjutsu Japanese martial arts.
She was part of the Arashikage ninja clan that trained Snake Eyes, she rose quickly and rapidly through the ninjutsu ranks and became the Storm Shadow.
She was specially trained by the Blind Master, meaning she can fight equally well in the dark or blindfolded and thus became a fierce ruthless 'kunoichi' meaning the female ninja.
She returned back to Nigeria to avenge the deaths of her parents and it led her to the faceless gangs who declared war against her and a fight duel ensued.
She became fierce and ruthless having no compassion for others but unfortunately, she fell in love with a young police cop who was bent on nabbing the perpetrator in which caused a dramatic twist in the action thriller. | eng | 965fb3a7-6118-4297-bc68-aca1826edea6 | https://youngicee.com/2018/04/the-thirst-for-revenge-alabede-jude.html |

Sermon Topic
Today's Gospel Lesson is the familiar story of the king who prepared a big wedding banquet for his son, but when the time arrived to begin the feast, not one of the invited guests was present. The outraged king ordered his servants to go out into the streets and invite everyone they could find. This they did until "the wedding hall was filled with guests" (Mt. 22:10).
Like all the other Gospel parables, this story has meaning for us today only to the extent that we understand what it meant to Jesus' original audience.
Many of today's leading Scripture scholars tell us that there are nuances present in today's parable which clearly suggest that the invited guests did…

Do you see your cat playing with rubber bands and anything springy and elastic at your house? It's not just you who's interested in why do cats like rubber bands. Cats are known for being carefree and playful. They like being nosey as well and satisfying their curiosity for a lot of purposes but mainly for entertainment.
Reasons will be discussed below as to why do cats exhibit this kind of behavior but one of the most obvious ones is animal instinct. They are animals after all and they have this habit of playing with their prey which they do on a lot of inanimate objects at home like rubber bands.
Why Does My Cat Like to Play With the Rubber Bands?
Here are the possible reasons to understand why cats like to play with rubber bands:
They Are Attracted to the Smell
First on the list is that cats are attracted to the smell of rubber bands. The latter has a distinct kind of smell that even humans will either be disgusted or addicted to. Felines have a very sensitive sense of smell which makes rubber bands more attractive for them.
Rubber Bands Mimic Prey
As mentioned above, cats love playing with the prey because even if they are domesticated animals, they are still predators by nature. These small and elastic rubber bands are stretchy and mimic the tendons of the prey they chase and eat. You will often see them thump and stretch the rubber bands like no other.
Elasticity Entertain Cats
Speaking of elasticity, cats love elastic things because the possibility of them getting more entertained is higher. Aside from the smell of the rubber bands that are scattered inside your house, the fact that it can be stretched excites your cat and make the same more likable.
Cats Love Anything New
This situation of cats liking rubber bands happen when you don't have chewing toys or other entertaining toys and objects inside your home. This is why when they see stretchy materials like these bands all over the area, they will be nosey about them and play with them.
Hoarding Purposes
Cats are well-known for being hoarders. Do you remember the last time your cat brought home a dead mouse from your backyard? Yes, they are that kind of hoarder. They will consider rubber bands as a part of their collection even though they do not have the proper area to store them.
They Need a Stress-Reliever
Stressed cats oftentimes find ways to relieve their stress and redirect the energy from being frustrated to other more productive and entertaining things. When this happens, it is best recommended that you bring them to the nearest vet to get their physical and mental health checked up.
Is Rubber Band Safe for My Cat?
No, rubber bands are not safe for your cat at home. One of the most dangerous reasons is when they eat the object and swallow it. An obvious effect of this is they will either choke on it or get an upset stomach. When they choke on any non-food material, it will be very hard for you to remove the same because things like rubber bands are not that slippery to flush down. And when the latter happens, it will fully affect the digestive system of your furry friend and might cause vomiting or diarrhea.
What To Do if Cat Eats Rubber Band?
So what can you do when, for example, your cat ate a rubber band after playing with it for a long time? These are the following:
Look For the Rubber Band
When you noticed that the rubber band that your cat has been playing with is missing, do not panic. Be calm and look for the rubber band around the area. You need to check first if it's just scattered somewhere before suspecting they swallowed it.
Check the Cat's Mouth
If the rubber band is not around, check your cat's mouth right away. There is a huge possibility that your mischievous furry friend ate the same. Get a flashlight and scour your pet's mouth and make sure that the rubber band is not swallowed yet.
Remove the Rubber Bands by Hand
After confirming that the rubber band is just stuck in the teeth or it's just under the tongue of your feline, remove the same by hand. Make sure that you do this step gently to ensure that you will not agitate them. After removing the same, let them rest for a bit then give them water.
Calm Your Cat
However, when you did not see the rubber band hanging inside your cat's mouth, you need to calm your cat while preparing its carrier among other things. If you have someone with you, let them start the car and you can now go to the nearest veterinary clinic.
Bring Your Cat to the Vet
Last but not least, to prevent any blockage in your cat's esophagus, medical attention is necessary. Take your cat to the nearest vet for the latter to use the tools necessary in removing the rubber band inside the stomach. And if things are at their worst, surgery might arise.
What Can I Do to Prevent Your Cat From Eating Rubber Bands?
Below are the ways you can do to prevent your cat from eating rubber bands:
Don't Give Them Rubber Bands
The most obvious preventive measure is to not give them rubber bands to play with. But sometimes, this is inevitable when you have children who wear hair ties and leave the same on the floor and forget about them. This being said, you need to be extra cautious to not allow them to have access to rubber bands.
Buy Chewing Toys
Cats are oftentimes bored and would like to do a lot of things. In this case, you need to entertain them by buying chewing toys that they can bite and entertain themselves with all the time. This will prevent cats from finding small objects like rubber bands to play with.
Avail of Scratching Posts
Another way to distract your cat is to avail a scratching post. This is a fun way for them to drain their energy by scratching and thumping the said object. You can be assured that they will not find ways to have time for rubber bands.
Play Calming Music
One of the reasons why cats like playing with rubber bands is because they are stressed. To make them feel more comfortable, try playing calming music like jazz or ballad at home.
Give Them Satisfying Food
To fully prevent your furry friend at home from eating smaller kinds of objects that are not edible, give them food that will satisfy their tongue and stomach. This will assure you that they will not eat rubber bands because they are already full from eating good food.
Take Them to a Walk
Another activity that will destress you and your cat is walking around your backyard. Cats tend to tinker with things because they are bored. To prevent the same from happening, make sure that they are breathing fresh air at all times to feel relaxed.
Light Fruity Candles
Last but not least, you can light fruity candles or even non-fruity candles inside your apartment or house. Cats love things that have a strong smell and the light and refreshing candles might help them redirect their energy – from playing with rubber bands to just finding the time to take a nap.
Conclusion
Cats are very nosey creatures and even if they are domesticated, their animal instincts always kick in. They love playing with small things even if the same is an inanimate object. The above-mentioned reasons as to why do cats like rubber bands are not exclusive. Future studies might come up with new ones. But, whatever the reason is, you need to ensure the safety of your cat by only giving them the toys they can safely play withstop | eng | 6b60c185-95e4-43a1-8f57-28e74f264341 | https://topcatbreeds.com/why-do-cats-like-rubber-bands/ |
Modify a Capacity Reservation
In this article
After creating a Capacity Reservation group and Capacity Reservation, you may want to modify your reservations. This article explains how to do the following actions using API, Azure portal, and PowerShell.
Update the number of instances reserved in a Capacity Reservation
Resize VMs associated with a Capacity Reservation group
Delete the Capacity Reservation group and Capacity Reservation
Update the number of instances reserved
Update the number of virtual machine instances reserved in a Capacity Reservation.
Important
In rare cases when Azure cannot fulfill the request to increase the quantity reserved for existing Capacity Reservations, it is possible that a reservation goes into a Failed state and becomes unavailable until the quantity is restored to the original amount.
GET
Find out the VM size reserved for each reservation. The following example is for capacityReservationName1, but you can repeat this step for other reservations.
GET
First, find all virtual machines associated with the Capacity Reservation group and dissociate them.
GET
Restore instance quantity
A well-formed request for reducing the quantity reserved should always succeed no matter the number of VMs associated with the reservation. However, increasing the quantity reserved may require more quota and for Azure to fulfill the additional capacity request. In a rare scenario in which Azure can't fulfill the request to increase the quantity reserved for existing reservations, it is possible that the reservation goes into a Failed state and becomes unavailable until the quantity reserved is restored to the original amount.
Note
If a reservation is in a Failed state, all the VMs that are associated with the reservation will continue to work as normal.
For example, let's say myCapacityReservation has a quantity reserved 5. You request 5 extra instances, making the total quantity reserved equal 10. However, because of a constrained capacity situation in the region, Azure can't fulfill the additional 5 quantity requested. In this case, myCapacityReservation will fail to meet its intended state of 10 quantity reserved and will go into a Failed state.
To resolve this failure, take the following steps to locate the old quantity reserved value: | eng | 521159a2-ae7d-462c-9c6a-7b6af0cf9da8 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/capacity-reservation-modify |

Best Practices for Virtual Conversations
Kim Mota
December 05, 2023 18:00
Updated
It is part of our commitment to partners and conversation participants that if they give us their time and stories, we'll make sure that their voices can be heard. But if we aren't able to produce a transcript, we can't uphold our end of the bargain.
When recording your conversation on the virtual platform of your choice:
Don't start recording the moment you get into the virtual platform, instead, leave the first few minutes open for participants to come in, greet them, or engage in small talk.
This is important because the first few minutes of welcoming people into the virtual space might not be audio you want to be transcribed and show up on the Fora Platform.
Do remember to press Record when you are ready to officially begin your conversation.
Ask all participants to mute themselves when others are speaking in order to minimize crosstalk or loud noises.
Once the conversation is complete, download your audio file and upload them onto the platform.
If your file type is different from the ones listed above, you can use a free third party site such as CloudConvert to convert your audio files.
Things to consider when facilitating a virtual conversation:
Allow participants to choose whether they would like to keep their cameras on or off. Having cameras on in a virtual setting can help the space feel more conversational while some participants might feel more comfortable speaking if they do not need to have their cameras on.
Remind participants that all video is discarded and only the audio from conversations is retained and uploaded onto Fora.
If you have the capacity to have two facilitators be present for virtual conversations, one can focus on guiding the conversation, while the other can focus on copying and pasting the prompts from the conversation guide into the chat box to accommodate different learning styles.

There is one chain of stores that does this in the states... Aldi. You insert a quarter to get your buggy and get your quarter back when you are done. They say they do this so that they can hire less workers and thereby charge less for groceries. They also don't give you bags, you bring your own or take it home bagless.
They have the same system in the UK, when we moved to the US I was a bit taken aback by all the shopping trollies just abandoned over the car park. Now when I visit home I have to remember to have the right coins ready!
Funny. They do have these in the US, and everybody seems interested in them, but they are only available at the cheaper stores (and trust me, I shop those cheap stores!). I saw a lot of Aldi stores further south with them, and Price Rite does this in New England.
Funny, the first time I went to a store with this type of cart, my first thought was, "What? I have to pay for my cart?!" I didn't know you got the quarter back.
I am also known for not having a quarter when I go to the store. Fortunately, I almost always have a stroller and a bunch of kids to help carry stuff!! Sometimes you even find a stray cart in the parking lot! I eventually learned to just keep a quarter in the van all the time!
We have those in Finland too. And of course the coin slot isn't the same size or shape in every store! Some stores accept 20 cents, one takes only a euro. It's annoying! So for the euro-shop I keep one coin in the car clove compartment (because otherwise I'd never have a coin for a cart!). For the other shops I have a special "cart key" attached to my car key, so it's always with me when I go shopping and there's no need to have coins in my purse :) | eng | ae3bd4aa-bac2-4c8d-bd40-2e8dca6d33b7 | https://amanda47.blogs.com/following_an_unknown_path/2008/05/shopping-carts-simply-taiwan-2.html |

Why scientists are looking for clues about coronavirus variants in wastewater
Marc Johnson's lab at the University of Missouri receives hundreds of samples of wastewater from across the country.
Sebastián Martínez Valdivia/Side Effects Public Media
Offshoots of the omicron coronavirus varianthave driven a spike in cases in the U.S. Some scientists believe clues to how these subvariants emerge lie in wastewater, and tracking them down could help prevent the next dangerous strain of the virus.
Marc Johnson, a professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at the University of Missouri, is one of the researchers leading the hunt for bizarre mutations of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. His lab gets more than a hundred wastewater samples each week from places as far afield as California and New York.
Johnson's lab filters the samples for the virus. They then extract its genetic material and sequence it to look for oddities.
"The part of the genome we focus on is called the receptor binding domain," Johnson said. "That's where most of the mutations accumulate."
By focusing on the part of the virus that lets it infect our cells, Johnson can look for mutations that might help it get around our immune system. Each dangerous variant so far, such as delta and omicron, had significant mutations in that area.
Wastewater testing allows researchers to get a sense of how the virus is spreading – without having to sequence a bunch of individual tests. They can even see warning signs of a surge based on what's turning up underground.
Beyond looking for strange new variants, Johnson and his colleagues are trying to figure out where exactly the variants are coming from: essentially, the virus's family history.
"Every time we've had a new lineage, it's generally been not derived from the one before," Johnson said. "So omicron was not derived from delta, delta was not derived from alpha, and so forth."
But to hunt down theseso-called cryptic lineages, they have to narrow down the source of the virus. Instead of sampling a wastewater treatment plant that might contain material from hundreds of thousands of people, Johnson can sample one specific manhole.
To do that, he and other scientists are increasingly using a surprising, but practical tool: tampons.
Kendra Maas, who heads the University of Connecticut's Microbial Analysis, Resources, and Services lab, has been using the technique tomonitor COVID outbreaks on campus. She's the one who shared the approach with Johnson.
"It's so simple! When I say we tie a fishing line to a tampon and throw it in the sewer, that is literally all it is," Maas said.
Maashas done research comparing the technique to other methods of sampling that require expensive machinery and found it to be largely on par. That means researchers can sample in remote areas, or places where it would be inconvenient; like a busy city street in New York.
New York is exactly where one of Johnson's colleagues, Queen's College virologist John Dennehy, has been working to track down bizarre SARS-CoV-2 mutations.
"We were able to narrow our variant to a small area of Brooklyn," Dennehy said. "Unfortunately within that area there's still hundreds of thousands of people."
Finding where these cryptic lineages are coming from is important, he said, because it could help head off the next dangerous variant at the source.
Researchers think these variants might develop in immunocompromised people who are infected for a long time. Since their bodies can't deal with the virus quickly, the virus is given a chance to mutate to get around their immune response.
David O'Connor, a professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Wisconsin who has worked on sequencing SARS-CoV-2, has seen patterns that could support that hypothesis.
"[The viruses] have all of these features that look like they are under a selective pressure from a host's immune system," O'Connor said. "They are changing exactly in the way that you would expect viruses that would potentially be worrisome in the future to change."
If viruses are mutating in immunocompromised people, finding them and treating them could nip the problem in the bud. But researchers aren't the ones who can quarantine someone with one of these mutated viruses and get them treatment. That's up to public officials, and Dennehy worries they aren't clued in.
"I kind of wonder how much the public health authorities are aware of these cryptic variants being a potential source of a new variant of concern," Dennehy said.
One highly mutated omicron variant — BA 2.121 — is now contributing to a new spike in COVID in the U.S.
There's no indication yet that the subvariant causes more severe disease than earlier forms. But Johnson said omicron has outperformed previous variants when it comes to producing offshoots, and tracking them will be critical to potentially controlling them | eng | ccb18f26-b073-4f8f-8015-58e1364c3ea2 | https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/why-scientists-are-looking-for-clues-about-coronavirus-variants-in-wastewater |
Health department, RHS coaches team up to prevent sexual violence
As Rhinelander High School's male athletes lace up their cleats or running shoes, pick up a tennis racquet or practice their golf swing this spring, they will also be learning something altogether different.
The Oneida County Health Department (OCHD), together with RHS coaches, is implementing a pilot program called Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM). It is an evidence-based program specifically designed for youth sexual violence prevention that trains and motivates high school coaches to teach their young male athletes healthy relationship skills.
"If they know how to talk about respect and stand up for themselves when different things are happening then hopefully that will start to shift the school culture," Maria Otterholt, OCHD
One in three teenagers reports knowing a friend or peer who has been physically hurt by their partner. When the health department received a sexual violence prevention grant in 2020, it was clear where they wanted to begin.
"When it comes to sexual violence prevention, youth is one of the areas you want to focus on right away," said OCHD program lead Maria Otterholt. "We can have these conversations; teach youth about violence and prevention before it occurs."
Otterholt said RHS activities director Brian Paulson was on board with CBIM from the beginning.
"We had a lot of buy in from Rhinelander High School so it wasn't difficult to get it going," Otterholt said. The program would have begun last fall, but like many other activities, there was a COVID-19 delay.
"If all of us are only teaching student athletes to play a sport for competition, then we are failing the student athlete," Paulson said. "I am extremely excited about our coaches being able to help grow the young men in our programs. Through communication and discussion we will create building blocks of healthy relationships."
What is unique about the program is that it doesn't require youth sitting down for long discussions. Instead the coaches will be adding brief discussions occasionally throughout the season so it is interwoven into the training programs.
"It's really just starting to have the conversations about respect and integrity and what it means to intervene if you see something happening that you know is wrong and really open the door to communication," Otterholt explained.
The program not only asks the question of whether students would intervene if they saw something they knew was wrong, but goes one step further to ask how they would intervene.
"And that's a lot of times where you get those blank stares," Otterholt said. "This gives them the opportunity to verbalize some of those statements, and what would you say? What if it's your best friend, how would you have that conversation? It gives them some practice and makes them feel comfortable talking about this stuff."
Sports was chosen for the pilot program because coaches, who are in a distinctive leadership role, can have an impact on youth that no one else in their lives may have; and student athletes are often seen as leaders in their schools.
"If they know how to talk about respect and stand up for themselves when different things are happening then hopefully that will start to shift the school culture and make that almost a new norm and then that's when real change can start to occur in the community," Otterholt added.
The OCHD is looking at another program to implement down the road for female athletes, and then programming for basically all other youth. It is something Otterholt said she would like to implement at all high schools in Oneida County. But for now, external evaluators will collect data from the youth going through the program and the coaches who are executing it to figure out what this evidence-based program looks like in a rural northern Wisconsin community.
"Then take that evidence and approach the other schools and tweak it as we go and really have a community-wide intervention," Otterholt said. | eng | a72fd01c-d6be-4e4a-90d9-601572fdee1b | https://starjournalnow.com/2021/03/22/health-department-rhs-coaches-team-up-to-prevent-sexual-violence/ |

Creation of the World African Folklore
Creation of the world African Folktale
This is the story of how the
world was created according to the Yorubas of West Africa.
The entire world was filled
with water when God decided to create the world. God sent his messenger Obatala
to perform the task of creating the world. Obatala brought along his helper, a
man named Oduduwa as well as a calabash full of earth and a chicken. Then they
began their descent to earth from a rope.
Along the way, they stopped
over at a feast where Obatala got drunk from drinking too much palm wine.
Oduduwa, finding his master drunk, picked up the calabash and the chicken and
continued on the journey.
When Oduduwa reached the earth,
he sprinkled earth from the calabash over the water and he dropped the chicken
on the earth. The chicken then ran around spreading the earth in every
direction he moved until there was land. Oduduwa had now created earth from
what used to be water.
Later when Obatala got out of
his drunken haze, he discovered that Oduduwa had already performed his task and
he was very upset. God however gave him another task to perform – to create the

What Deficiency Causes Bad Breath
How to Get Rid of Bad Breath
If you're wondering how to get rid of bad breath, there are a few options you can take. One of them is to use lemon or orange juice to wash your mouth. Your mouth will produce more saliva due to the acidity of these fruits. Although it's not going to eliminate bad breath entirely however it can drastically reduce the amount of smelly breath you let out.
Baking soda
Gargling with baking soda water could aid in getting rid of bad breath. It works by killing the bacteria in your mouth. It can also be used as an mouthwash. Mix half one cup baking soda with one-half cup of water and use it on a regular basis as a mouthwash. This mouthwash is safe and effective and lasts for as long as a week.
Baking soda is also great for fighting gum disease. Due to its alkaline properties it is able to neutralize the acid levels in the mouth and kill harmful bacteria. It is not a cause of damage to teeth, unlike other mouthwashes. It can be used as a natural tooth paste drug dealers, they would mix various ingredients and sell them to the general public. Dentifrices were typically made from different ingredients that aren't in use today. Hydrochloric acid, which is often used for dentifrices, was condemned by the Journal of the American Dental Association in 1931. Studies show that using hydrochloric acid for the removal of dental plaque reduces tooth enamel by as much as 3% every time.
Baking soda can be used to combat plaque and help prevent gingivitis. It is an acid-related condition that affects the gums. Baking soda can neutralize acid levels and help make breath more fresh. It can also aid in the whitening of the teeth and remove surface stains.
Lemongrass
Essential oil of lemongrass is a great natural way to fight off bacteria and freshen breath. It has the same properties as toothpaste, but it is more effective at getting rid of biofilm from teeth and preventing plaque. It has a refreshing, citrusy scent that helps to reduce the smell of mouth. Lemongrass essential oil can be used to make an oral rinse twice a applied topically, in massage, and inhalation. Before using lemongrass as an oral rinse or other application, consult a doctor.
If you'd like to give lemongrass a go ensure you use fresh lemongrass, as it tastes much better. Lemongrass can cause stomach upset if consumed in large amounts. If you are allergic to lemongrass, it won't cause harm. It is still advisable to test the lemongrass essential oil on a small area before you apply it on your entire body.
The antioxidants present in lemongrass can help fight the process of aging as well as protect the body against various illnesses. It has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels and decrease inflammation. It also aids the digestive system and may prevent the dysfunction of coronary arterial. The National Institutes of Health also discovered that lemongrass can aid in the fight against gastric ulcers.
Lemongrass is a perennial plant that grows in tropical climates. It can reach 0.8 to 1 m tall, with narrow, long leaves with rough edges. The leaves have a citrus scent. The stems and rhizomes of lemongrass are either white or purple. The leaves and rhizomes of lemongrass can be used to make essential oil. Citral is the primary ingredient in the lemongrass essential oil. Citral has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties.
Mouthwash with fluoride
The fluoride mouthwash is a great option to treat bad breath and to maintain healthy teeth. It's got 0.05% sodiumfluoride, which has been proven to combat plaque and cavities. It also helps strengthen your teeth. Fluoride mouthwash is unlike other mouthwashes. It does not contain alcohol.
Fluoride mouthwash is beneficial for many reasons. It can fight cavities, prevent tooth decay, remineralize and even help to stop tooth decay. Fluoride can help maintain fresh minty breath. Fluoride is not just able to kill harmful bacteria and prevent bad breath, but it can also help remineralize your teeth making them stronger.
Fluoride mouthwash is a great way to kill the bacteria that cause bad breath. It also fights gum disease. After brushing and flossing, you should use it. You can put a small amount of mouthwash in your mouth and swish it around your mouth. Afterwards, you should take it out. Also, avoid smoking and eating for at least 30 minutes after you've cleaned your mouth with mouthwash. Consult your dentist if have any questions about fluoride mouthwash.
Fluoride mouthwash prevents bad breath by eliminating plaque. Bad breath sufferers should brush their teeth at least twice a day and floss to remove food particles. Bad breath can be prevented by brushing your teeth after meals to stop the growth of bacteria. Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque that can lead to bad breath.
You can also go to your dentist if you think that you suffer from a medical condition that causes bad breath. Your dentist can recommend an oral surgeon to treat you.
Natural remedies
There are numerous home remedies that can be used to treat bad breath. Fennel seeds, for example will sweeten breath and guard teeth. Cinnamon is antibacterial and can mask bad breath odor. Bad breath can be cured by cardamom and mint. These herbs also help combat oral and throat infections.
Tea tree oil can help fight plaque and bacteria. It can be used in toothpaste as an antibacterial antioxidant or added to your toothpaste. Guavas are another natural remedy for bad breath. You can cut them up and enjoy them at any time of day. Sprinkle them with black pepper powder and salt. Drinking tea tree oil a few times a week will help fight bad breath and freshen breath.
The problem of bad breath can be addressed by using mouthwash, mints, or other products for oral hygiene. If however, your breath is persistently bad you should consult a dentist. If the symptoms are severe the dentist can determine whether you're suffering from an infection in your mouth. These remedies can be applied at home if you are unable or unwilling to visit the dentist.
Chewing gum can also help combat bad breath. Gum can mask bad breath and stimulate saliva production. Make sure to choose sugar-free gum. Sugary gum can feed the bad bacteria in your mouth and cause it to get worse. Oranges contain citric acid which fights bad breath.
Drinking plenty of water can also aid in fighting bad breath. Water can help to lubricate your mouth, cleanse it of bacteria, and improve your overall health. Also, drinking mint leaves can aid in preventing bad breath. They are small and can be put under the tongue.

Scientists find several shifts in Pennsylvania tick population over the last century
The prevalence of the most abundant species of ticks found in Pennsylvania has shifted over the last century, according to Penn State scientists, who analyzed 117 years' worth of specimens and data submitted primarily by residents from around the state.
The researchers said understanding the spatial distribution patterns and host associations revealed by their analysis is important for assessing and reducing the risk of diseases caused by tick-borne pathogens.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a 3.5-fold increase in vector-borne diseases in the United States between 2004 and 2016, with more than 76 percent of cases caused by tick-borne pathogens. The vast majority of these cases are Lyme disease, attributed to Borrelia burgdorferi. Pennsylvania has had the highest number of total Lyme disease cases in the U.S since 2000.
Since the early 1900s, people have submitted ticks for identification to the Penn State Department of Entomology and its forerunners, and these specimens have become part of Penn State's Frost Entomological Museum collection, noted Joyce Sakamoto, assistant research professor of entomology in the College of Agricultural Sciences.
"Then in the 1960s, the late entomology professor Robert Snetsinger ran a statewide media campaign to encourage tick submissions, and he received thousands from citizen scientists," she said. "He also conducted active surveillance, capturing and collecting ticks in the field."
Another Penn State entomologist, Steven Jacobs, a now-retired senior extension associate, led a similar public-service media campaign in the 1990s, resulting in another surge in tick submissions from citizens around the state.
The research team -- Sakamoto, Jacobs and first author Damie Pak, doctoral candidate in biology -- compiled data from more than 7,000 of these tick specimens dating from 1900 and analyzed the submissions for tick-community composition, host associations and spatio-temporal dynamics. Ticks were submitted from all 67 counties in Pennsylvania, and the specimens included 24 species.
"We found that based on these collections, there have been several shifts in the dominant species of ticks over the last 117 years," Sakamoto said. "For example, before 1990, the majority of tick submissions were identified as Ixodes cookei (groundhog or woodchuck tick). Right now, the dominant species is Ixodes scapularis, or blacklegged tick, which is the primary vector of Lyme disease. But this tick was almost nonexistent in Pennsylvania in the 1960s."
The researchers, who reported their results today (May 3) in Parasites & Vectors, said such changes in surveillance data can be correlated with climate change and variability; shifts in land use that can lead to habitat loss and fragmentation; and changes in human or animal behavior that may bring ticks and hosts into closer proximity.
Sakamoto explained that the blacklegged tick's population likely declined in the early 20th century because timber-harvesting practices such as clearcutting caused deforestation and destroyed habitat for deer and other wildlife that serve as hosts. As reforestation was achieved and habitat restored in the late 1900s, the population of these ticks -- which sometimes are called deer ticks -- exploded.
Blacklegged ticks now are found in every county in Pennsylvania, although the researchers' analysis suggests that their highest prevalence rates -- per 100,000 people -- occurred in northcentral Pennsylvania counties such as Elk, Forest and Cameron.
In addition to tick prevalence and geographic distribution, host-association data accompanying submitted tick specimens also can help in assessing risk, according to the researchers.
"Some species' common names are misleading because they imply only one host," Sakamoto said. "For instance, Ixodes cookei, the so-called groundhog tick, is really a generalist that also will feed on opossums, raccoons and other species -- and may bite humans if given the opportunity. This tick also is a potentially important vector of Powassan encephalitis virus -- a serious pathogen -- so commonly held misconceptions about tick-host associations may result in people underestimating or ignoring the risk."
The researchers conclude that the ideal tick surveillance program would employ both passive and active collection methods and would not focus solely on the most important "tick du jour," such as the current emphasis on the Lyme-carrying blacklegged tick.
"The goal of surveillance should be to look for everything -- not just the species that currently poses the biggest threat -- so we can be prepared for what's coming," Sakamoto said. "The consequences of neglecting other potential ticks of epidemiological significance include missing shifts in tick biodiversity, not monitoring range expansions of vectors, and not detecting the presence of introduced species, such as the Asian longhorned tick recently found in Pennsylvania.
"Conducting robust surveillance and analyzing historical data sets such as this can help public health officials and researchers to identify high-risk areas, discover ecological trends and develop predictive models for assessing the risk of tick-borne disease," she | eng | f4cadd8a-e2e4-4cbd-b542-a23a50c6b199 | https://www.news-medical.net/news/20190503/Scientists-find-several-shifts-in-Pennsylvania-tick-population-over-the-last-century.aspx |

The PK Yonge school in Florida served as an inspiration. Pupils are selected by lottery and their composition must reflect the demographics of the state's school-age population.
State-funded
"We want to build on European values such as freedom, democracy and equality. Thanks to our contacts, which we have in Slovakia and abroad, we can get external resources and experts for the school to help start it up, so that it's an inspiration for the whole country," Hipš says.
The operation of the school should be exclusively funded from the state contribution.
Živica wants to establish the school on the premises of Jednotka (One), the oldest primary school in Zvolen. The change should start in July 2024. Originally a sports school attended, for example, by Olympic champion Elena Kaliská and hockey goalkeeper Ján Lašák, it has recently struggled with an increasingly small number of students.
205 pupils currently attend the school, the vast majority of whom are children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and marginalised Roma communities.
However, as the number of students from marginalised Roma communities increased, the share of school students from the majority gradually decreased. Thus, the segregation of Roma children has arisen instead of their integration in a mixed school.
Both the school board and the teachers supported the idea of a new model school. Živica guarantees all teaching and non-teaching staff a transition to their private elementary school.
Equal representation
In a private school, they want all social groups to be equally represented among the students. "Children from the majority, from marginalised groups, talented or even with disadvantages: that is the principle of the model school," Hipš explains.
"It should be a school where different children with different life stories meet," he adds.
The return of children from the majority should be guaranteed by quality.
"We will try to convince the Zvolen public, and I hope we will succeed very quickly, that it's worth sending children to this school." | eng | ecf38203-bfb3-4d43-b67d-6e13be4f0963 | https://spectator.sme.sk/c/23178242/zvolen-to-have-a-model-school-inspired-by-one-in-florida.html?ref=njct |

The ultimate guide to loyalty program KPIs is here
Loyalty programs are a great way to retain customers and increase revenue. However, to ensure the success of your loyalty program, it's crucial to track key performance indicators (KPIs). If you're unsure of exactly which customer loyalty KPIs to track, we have you covered.
Top 10 loyalty program KPIs to track
1. Customer Retention Rate
One of the most important KPIs for loyalty programs is the customer retention rate. This is the percentage of customers who continue to do business with your company over a given period. A high customer retention rate means that your loyalty program is effectively incentivizing customers to keep coming back, which can lead to increased revenue over time.
2. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
Customer lifetime value is the estimated total amount of revenue a customer will generate throughout their relationship with your business. Keeping an eye on the CLV helps identify high-value customers and tailor your loyalty program to meet their needs.
3. Net Promoter Score (NPS)
Net Promoter Score measures customer satisfaction and loyalty by asking customers how likely they are to recommend your business to others. A high NPS score means that your loyalty program is effectively engaging and satisfying customers, which can lead to increased referrals and revenue.
4. Customer Churn Rate
Customer churn rate measures the percentage of customers who stop doing business with your company over a given period. By tracking churn rate, you can identify areas of your loyalty program that may need improvement and take steps to retain customers.
5. Redemption Rate
Redemption rate measures the percentage of loyalty program rewards or points that are redeemed by customers. A high redemption rate means that your loyalty program is effectively incentivizing customers to take action and engage with your business. This is a critical measure of loyalty program success.
6. Average Order Value (AOV)
Average Order Value measures the average amount of money customers spend per transaction. By monitoring AOV, you can identify opportunities to upsell or cross-sell to customers, which can increase revenue and customer lifetime value.
7. Engagement Rate
Engagement rate measures the level of customer interaction with your business's loyalty program, such as how often they log in or participate in program activities. This can be based on any type of interaction offline, online, on mobile, social, or even in augmented reality. By monitoring your program's overall engagement rate, you can identify areas that may need improvement and take steps to stimulate more customer engagement.
8. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
Customer acquisition cost measures the cost of acquiring a new customer, including marketing and advertising expenses. You can use this to identify the most effective marketing channels and tactics to acquire new customers, which can increase revenue and customer lifetime value.
9. Repeat Purchase Rate
Repeat purchase rate is an important KPI for loyalty programs. It measures the percentage of customers who make more than one purchase from your business. By tracking repeat purchase rates, you can identify opportunities to encourage customers to make additional purchases, which can increase revenue and customer lifetime value.
10. Referral Rate
Referral rate measures the percentage of customers who refer others to your business, which can be an indication of their loyalty and satisfaction with your company. Tracking this loyalty KPI helps you identify opportunities to incentivize customers to refer others, which can increase referrals and revenue.
Track your way to a more successful loyalty program
And there you have the most important loyalty program KPIs. Tracking your success shouldn't be time-consuming. If your loyalty software doesn't make KPI reporting easier, it might be time to switch.
m–wise Loyalty Cloud comes with dedicated KPI reports and built-in Insights that make every aspect of loyalty program management a breeze. With a system that helps you continually monitor and optimise your program, you'll be on your way to long-term loyalty | eng | be8e313e-dede-405f-8981-d2bf8e03f6bb | https://m-wise.eu/news/loyalty-kpis/ |
Why You Should Avoid Cutting Directly on Countertops knife directly on your countertops.
Surface Damage: Countertops are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, but sharp knives can leave scratches, nicks, and marks. Over time, these accumulate and diminish the countertop's appearance.
Hygiene Hazards: Cutting boards are designed with food safety in mind, with non-porous surfaces that are easier to clean and sanitize. Countertops, on the other hand, can harbor bacteria in scratches and crevices left by knife cuts.
Durability Compromise: Some countertop materials, like marble and ceramic, are more prone to damage from cutting. Even harder materials like granite can chip or crack under forceful impacts.
Safeguarding Investment: Countertops can be a significant investment. Protect that investment by using designated cutting boards to prevent unnecessary damage | eng | 8d936b41-6dc8-4555-b200-2b874438cee1 | https://nestegghomes.com/why-you-should-avoid-cutting-directly-on-countertops/ |
5 Things Your Activewear Should Do
Athleisure trends aside, activewear needs to fulfill a function. A good piece of activewear should be comfortable enough to wear during physical activity, but that's not all. The right activewear will actually improve your performance.
Your activewear should be doing a lot for your body. It should provide the support you need to exercise effectively. It should wick sweat to keep you cool and dry and smelling fresh throughout your workout. It should give you the freedom to move your body any way you want. And it should look good, so you feel good about putting on your clothes to workout, and perform better when you're wearing them.
1) Provide Support
Activewear should provide the support you need to get through your workout.. If you have breasts, you need a sports bra that provides the right level of support for your exercise. You can choose a low-impact support bra for activities like walking or yoga, but you'll need a high-impact support bra for high-impact activities like jogging. A sports bra should fit snugly, and while a low-impact support bra will still allow your breasts to move somewhat, a high-impact sports bra should keep them pretty much stationary while you do high-impact exercises involving running and jumping.
It's not just bras that need to provide support. Activewear needs to offer a level of coverage that keeps you comfortable, and it should stay in place while you're moving, or at least not ride up enough to reveal anything. Compression clothes can apply enough pressure to your blood vessels to optimize your blood flow during your workout, keeping your muscles well oxygenated so you won't be as sore the next day.
2) Wick Sweat
Sweating is your body's way of trying to stay cool. But the thing about sweat is that if it's not able to evaporate off your body, it's not going to keep you cool. The right activewear will have sweat-wicking and fast-drying properties that will help keep you cool naturally throughout your workout. Performance fabrics soak up moisture quickly and dry fast to keep your body cool. Fabrics like cotton, on the other hand, just get wet and stay wet.
3) Allow Freedom of Movement
There's a reason so much activewear is made out of stretchy fabrics like spandex. It's because you need a full range of movement when you're exercising. You can't do yoga in a pair of jeans because, among other things, you wouldn't have the range of motion you have in a pair of yoga pants.
Often, activewear is designed for specific activities, too. A pair of hiking boots will have extra shock absorption in the heels so you can walk further on uneven terrain. Bicycle shorts are extra long to prevent chafing and skin tight so they won't bind or get caught on the bicycle. Using the right clothes for your activity will improve your performance and could keep you from getting hurt.
4) Stay Fresh
No one likes the body odor that comes with working up a sweat. That odor is caused by bacteria on your skin feeding on the proteins and fats in your sweat. These days, you can buy antimicrobial activewear. The fabric is treated with zinc or other metals, like silver, copper, gold, or tin, to kill viruses and bacteria on contact. Bacteria won't grow on the clothes, and they won't smell. You'll smell better, too, and your gym clothes will stay fresher for longer. No more permastink!
5) Look Good
Is it important to look good while you're working out? Yes, because putting on workout clothes can help you get into the mindset to workout and can even improve your performance. It's called "enclothed cognition" and it works for other types of outfits, too. It means that putting on a specific outfit mentally primes you to fulfill the role that outfit represents. If you buy nice workout clothes, you'll feel more like an athlete when you put them on, and you'll perform better. You'll also be more likely to want to put them on and exercise.
Is your activewear doing all it can for you? You really need to be able to rely on your clothes to provide you with the support and comfort you need, so you can focus on working hard in the gym. The right activewear really can help you get more out of your workouts, but you should always make sure it's got all the features you need to do your best | eng | 6dc834d5-bccf-4a77-9765-25279f124b37 | http://clichemag.com/fashion/5-things-your-activewear-should-do/ |
Can Lantana Grow Indoors Succesfully?
Can lantana grow indoors successfully as they do outdoors? The lantana tree has multicolored flowers and can be very attractive when placed indoors. Although you usually see these plants grown outdoors, they look so appealing in yellow, orange, red, purple, and lavender.
Some lantana varieties change dolor as they mature, which offers a pleasant surprise for plant lovers. You could add them to the variety of other bushes that can be grown indoors like banana trees, mandarin orange, palm trees, and many more. Besides they are beautiful, they have a very unique scent. They can attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
However, since the lantana plants have fragrant flowers, they are prone to pests and disease. Just a friendly warning, when you are growing lantana trees indoors, you should have eagle eyes on these drawbacks.
Can Lantana Grow Indoors Use Pots?
The quick answer is yes. Although lantana trees are quite tall, you can keep them growing at 30cm only. With proper care and pruning, you can keep various lantana plants indoors. The following are some lantana varieties that you can start growing inside your home this summer.
Trailing Lantana
Trailing lantana are vines and they follow a trailing grown pattern instead of growing upright. If you leave them unsupported, they grow wildly up to 10 feet. If you want to ask "can lantana grow indoors" if you have this kind, the answer is still a big YES? But you have to prune it regularly to keep it in shape. Improperly cared lantana can grow wild and scatter all over your home. A friendly tip, you can keep a space
Popcorn Lantana
The popcorn lantana looks more like a cluster of miniature berries. Albeit small, the blossoms can look so darling because of the variety of colors it offers to their owner.
Strangely, individuals develop popcorn lantanas for their natural product bunches. Its fancy natural products look like little lots of grapes or berries. Along these lines, its two fundamental cultivars are "Lavender Popcorn" and "Fruity Pebbles."
Bushes Lantana
These are bushes that develop upstanding to the greatest stature of six feet and develop a lot quicker than other lantana plants. Young lantana seedlings can grow up to five feet in only one season, allowing groundskeepers the opportunity to encounter the lantana's brilliant sprouts immediately. If you are growing the bushes, you must use a larger pot and trim it occasionally so it will not grow taller.
Year-Round Lantana Care Tips
Squeeze and prune. Since you are growing a lantana tree indoors, you need to pinch off its tips to prevent it from growing taller. A few cultivars are minimal and may not require pinching by any means. Pruning lantana in pre-spring will bring more blossoms. Scale stems back to around 5 in (13 cm).
Deadhead spent blossoms to stimulate flower growth. You can keep your lantana blossoming for quite a long time more or less long enough daylight.
Repot in spring when the roots are becoming through the lower part of the pot. Climb to a pot just 1 size bigger. Lantana blossoms best when marginally pot-bound.
Watch for whiteflies that like to assault lantana plants. You'll find these minuscule, white moth-like bugs hiding under leaves. Dispose of whiteflies when you notice them since they increase rapidly.
Overwinter your plant. Lantanas are evergreen, yet they are winter-sensitive. Bring your pruned lantana plants inside when the temperature drops in fall, and you'll partake in those vivid blossoms somewhat longer. When blooming is finished, give it a rest.
Keep on giving it heaps of sunlight and keep it cool in winter. Water sparingly, barely enough to forestall the soil from becoming bone dry.
Can Lantana Grow Indoors and How Do you Propagate Them?
So, can lantana grow indoors and can you also propagate them even when they are potted? The quick answer is yes! Propagating lantana flowers isn't that difficult. All you need to do is to take a step tip cutting in the early spring or summer.
Then you can plant them in your outdoor garden or another pot. In a matter of weeks, your cuttings can stabilize and establish little lantana plants.
Moreover, lantana seeds can quickly germinate. You may also opt to propagate by seeds. To collect seeds from your plant, let some flowers develop seeds in the fall. When fall comes, you can collect flowers that have dried on the plant itself or trim some lantana flowers.
If you've trimmed flowers, keep them in a paper bag and wait for them to dry. Once dry, shake the bag to separate the seeds from the dried petals. Next, store the seeds in a cool, dry place then sow them indoors in the early spring.
Keeping Your Lantana Plant-Strong And Healthy
When growing lantana plants inside your home, you should understand the main differences between outdoor and indoor environments. First of all, an outdoor garden provides natural sunlight, great temperature, and proper humidity.
Keep the temperature in your room around 50 percent. Additionally, you can stand plant on a tray of wet pebbles or use a cool-mist room humidifier to increase the humidity.
Provide 0-75 degrees temperature, which is a normal room temperature. Remember, lantanas thrive faster in the early spring and summer because it is their growing season. Hence, when winter comes you might find your lantana plant in its dormant state.
Data have shown that the best choice of soil for lantana plants is an acidic one. Select a well-draining soil. Clay or sand with organic compost is ideal. You can add peat moss-based potting mix, such as the African violet potting mix.
Feed your lantana plants with fertilizer every 2 weeks with liquid or water-soluble fertilizer diluted by half while your plant is young. When your lantana plant has fully matured, there is no need to put fertilizer. Make sure you only put the average amount of fertilizer. Over-fertilizing your plant can cause it to rot.
Can Lantana Grow Indoors Without Sun?
The quick answer is no.
Lantana is a sun-loving plant, which means you need to expose it to at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Keep your plant in a sunny window or move it outdoors if the weather is good. Giving it a lot of sunlight will help it grow more flowers | eng | bb92d9b1-a997-4708-a91e-e39e70364ee3 | https://indoorgardentips.com/can-lantana-grow-indoors/ |

The dryline is a narrow zone of extremely sharp moisture gradient. It is also usually called the "moisture front", resembling the cold and warm fronts of thermal contrasts. Drylines occur in many regions of the world in late spring and summer seasons, such as the Great Plains of the United States, India, and northern China (Schaefer, 1986, p. 549-572). Usually, drylines are associated with convective developments or even severe thunderstorms, such as tornados and squall lines.
van Schalkwyk et al. [2023] performed a comprehensive study of drylines over the western Plateau of southern Africa from 2010 to 2021. They demonstrated that in austral early summer (shown in left figure panel) moist air from the Indian Ocean flows through the Zambezi River Valley and meets with dry air from the west, leading to the formation of drylines. In austral late summer, the channel of moist air shifts southward to the Limpopo River Valley (right figure panel). Using lightning data, the authors found that seventy-six percent of drylines in austral summer (October-March) were associated with thunderstorms, which locate at the moist side of drylines. They also show that dryline-induced thunderstorms are usually associated with a trough at 500 hectopascals (hPa).
This is the first comprehensive study describing dryline formation in southern Africa and its role in triggering thunderstorms. The work makes an important contribution to our understanding of drivers of deep convection over southern Africa. | eng | 11a7679e-e9b2-4f9d-b61a-3c03e769d786 | https://eos.org/editor-highlights/dryline-induced-thunderstorms-over-the-southern-africa-plateau |

Jiu Jitsu Versus Boxing
Jiu Jitsu and Boxing could not be more different in terms of Martial Arts. Jiu Jitsu is a grappling based martial art that mainly occurs on the ground, and the goal of is to submit your opponent through a choke or joint lock until your opponent taps.
A tap signifies that the opponent is giving up in order to fight another day. This is done if they are in a position that they cannot get out of, where they will go to sleep, or suffer damage from the submission.
Boxing is a striking based martial art that occurs when both opponents are standing up, and only a closed fist can be used during competition. The goal of boxing is to knock out your opponent using your strikes.
Is Jiu Jitsu Safer Than Boxing?
In every martial art, there is a risk for injury. Jiu Jitsu is the safer martial art as there is an option to tap to a submission, as well as having less wear and tear than boxing. In boxing, you are enduring strikes to the head and body throughout the rounds.
In simple terms, in boxing even in a controlled environment, you are still punching one another for minutes at a time.
In Jiu Jitsu, you are grappling your opponent, fighting for different positions without needing to use strikes on one another.
What is Easier to Learn, BJJ or Boxing?
Boxing is absolutely the easier martial art to learn. Due to only needing to use your hands to strike, it's a very straightforward sport. Make no mistake about it though, it is still a tough sport as you will need to learn footwork, angles and proper technique. BJJ is notoriously one of the harder martial arts to learn as the average time to get a BJJ black belt is 10 years.
The high difficulty of BJJ is actually what attracts most of the BJJ programs do a great job of allowing students to continually progress, and even allow them to train in tournaments to put their skills to the test

Gray Area 3—Negotiating Between Contemporary Design and Historic Preservation
University of the Arts
Title page of the limited-edition catalog Gray Area: Provocations on the Future of Preservation, produced by Gray Area, part of DesignPhiladelphia, with support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage in 2011.
The next phase of a multi-part conversation about historic preservation, first initiated in 2011, Gray Area 3 will convene community members and a team that includes architect and Pew Fellow Brian Phillips, a builder, an educator, a preservationist, and a public historian. They will discuss the "adaptive re-use" of two vacant Philadelphia buildings: the Max Levy building at 212-220 Roberts Avenue in Germantown and Hawthorne Hall at 3849 Lancaster Avenue in Mantua. The project is conceived to stimulate discussion around these sites, and many others like them, by exploring contemporary design solutions that take into account community needs, preservation concerns, and the modern realities of urban life. Local residents will also be chosen to act as "community partners," in order to gather and incorporate public feedback.
Established in 1876, the University of the Arts is one of the nation's only universities dedicated solely to educating students in the visual and performing arts and design. The university offers a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs to nearly 1,900 students who connect, collaborate, and create across disciplines and traditional boundaries. Center-supported projects include Gray Area 3, an active engagement of community members, designers, and historic preservationists on re-use strategies for two vacant Philadelphia buildings; and the exhibition Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde, highlighting and exploring Philadelphia's significant contributions to visual culture from the 1950s to the 1970s. In 2018, the University of the Arts School of Dance received Center support for The School for Temporary Liveness, an eight-day pop-up performance experience presented in the format of a school that occupies the Philadelphia Art Alliance building, featuring choreographer and performer Nora Chipaumire and interdisciplinary performance artist Isabel Lewis. | eng | 4f431b1d-9a50-4214-b140-49b192f38160 | https://www.pewcenterarts.org/grant/gray-area-3-negotiating-between-contemporary-design-and-historic-preservation |
The State Of Hockey: Why Minnesota Hockey is Different
ST. PAUL, MN - DECEMBER 31: Jordan Greenway (18) of the Minnesota Wild reacts after the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on December 31, 2018 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. (Photo by David Berding/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
It takes a special kind of person to call Minnesota home. Considered by some as Canada's 11th province, Minnesota winters are long and cold. Minnesota is also nicknamed The State of Hockey.
The Minnesota Wild have one of the most passionate fan bases in the entire National Hockey League.
So far this season, Minnesota natives on the Wild have a combined 40 points on the season. 32 of those 40 points belong to Zach Parise. Parise has looked good so far, tallying 16 goals and 16 assists, he is second on the team behind Mikael Granlund who has 36 points (11 goals – 25 assists).
What's In The Water In Minnesota?
Many Minnesotans practically live on the outdoor rinks. Whether it's a rink at home built by dad, or a rink built at a local park, kids are always outside skating. Currently, in the NHL, there are roughly 713 total players. of those 713 players, 42 of them call Minnesota home.
Combined, 31 Minnesotans have their name inscribed on the Stanley Cup. The latest Minnesotan to win the Stanley Cup is Washington Capitals forward and Warroad, MN native, T.J. Oshie.
Minnesota also has five Division-1 men's college hockey teams. Minnesota State, Bemidji State, University of Minnesota Duluth, St. Cloud State, and the University of Minnesota.
The Holy Grail Of High School Hockey:
Every year in March, thousands of Minnesotans flock to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul to witness the state's top high school teams compete in the state tournament. The four-day tournament generates an average of 19,000 people who attend the championship round games. Teams from all over the state come to St. Paul to play for the Class A and Class AA state title.
In 2016, 22,244 fans attended the State Boys' Hockey Tournament Class AA Semifinals round at the Xcel Energy Center. Those 22,244 fans set the record for the largest crowd to ever watch a hockey game in the state of Minnesota.
Hockey Day Minnesota
Another annual tradition in Minnesota is a day devoted to the beloved game. Hockey Day Minnesota. Each year, there is one "host site" to host a slew of outdoor hockey games ranging from youth all the way up to NCAA Division-1 college games. This year's host site is in Bemidji, MN.
Hockey Day Minnesota first started in 2007 in Baudette Bay, MN. Since then, it has been to St. Paul, Hermantown, Moorhead, Minnetonka/Excelsior, Grand Rapids, Elk River, Duluth, Stillwater, and St. Cloud.
Minnesotans love their hockey. It has special meaning beyond just the sport itself. There is something different about the hockey community, not just in Minnesota, but around the sport as a whole.
The thing that makes the game so special are the memories formed on those outdoor rinks late at night. When kids' fingers and toes are numb, but they have to skate that final rush up the ice, pretending to be their favorite NHL or college player. Those are the memories that last a lifetime. You can't find that kind of feeling in any other sport. | eng | 78c88a72-d51d-47a1-a99e-7d10d5875c99 | https://lwosports.com/2018/12/23/the-state-of-hockey-why-hockey-is-different-in-minnesota/ |

Fiduciary Bond
Fiduciary Bond Information
Fiduciary bonds, also known as a probate bond or an estate bond, is a type of court bond which is requested by probate courts when appointing a fiduciary to a particular case. Fiduciaries are usually appointed to manage or administer estates, or any other assets of disabled, deceased or incompetent persons. Fiduciaries are often also referred to as administrators, guardians, trustees and executors. Therefore, fiduciary bonds are sometimes named after the respective function that a fiduciary has. For example, a trustee has a trustee bond. In essence, all of these serve the same purpose. Fiduciary bonds protect the persons whose estates or assets the fiduciary has been appointed to manage. If the fiduciary engages in dishonest practices, and is found guilty, the surety bond company backing the bond is there to rectify any such claims, up to the total amount of the bond. FAQ about Fiduciary - Probate Surety Bonds:
Who Needs to Obtain a Fiduciary Bond?
Fiduciary bonds may be required of anyone who has been appointed to take care of someone's property or estate, assets, finances, or even affairs. Usually the recipients of a fiduciary's services are minors, or disabled, deceased or incompetent persons. Heirs and beneficiaries also fall within this category. Fiduciary bonds might be required of guardians, administrators, executors, trustees, custodians, and others. These bonds are typically requested by probate courts appointing fiduciaries, rather than individuals.
Are There Different Types of Fiduciary Bonds?
A probate bond, an executor bond, a guardianship bond and an estate bond are alternative names for fiduciary bonds. There are also more specific types of probate bonds such as VA fiduciary surety bonds required when a fiduciary is appointed to take care of the assets of a veteran who cannot do so themselves. Occasionally there may be minor differences between these bonds according to state legislation, because they address different types of fiduciaries, but in practice they are usually used interchangeably and are not seen as separate types of bonds.
How Much Does a Fiduciary Bond Cost?
The cost of a fiduciary bond is a percentage of the whole amount of the bond. The amount of the bond, in turn, is directly linked to the value of the estate or assets that the fiduciary has to take care of. When determining your rate or premium, sureties will take your personal credit score into account. If you have a high score, you can expect your bond to cost between .5%-1% of the total amount of your bond.
Can I Get a Fiduciary Bond with Bad Credit?
Getting a probate bond with bad credit is possible, although only in certain instances and with individuals whose credit issues are minor. Those who have a very low credit score typically do not get approved for such a bond | eng | 3b750e9a-c0cf-4945-8e27-50eeab7ee234 | https://www.allcommercialsurety.com/types-of-surety-bonds/fiduciary-surety-bonds |

Empowering our Spanish-Language Staff This course aims to enhance English proficiency, boost professional communication skills, provide essential cultural competencies, and nurture critical writing skills, all with the goal of advancing staff careers at UGA.
Currently, 20 staff members from housing's Facilites unit are participating in the program. "Providing our staff with a dedicated ESL program is not just an investment in language skills;" says housing Building Services Superintendent James Anderson, "it's an investment in their professional growth and the success of our organization."
Traditionally, the IEP serves international students, visiting scholars and their family members but University Housing's Residential Building Services Training Manager Neyael Rubio-Delgado sought out a partnership based on a suggestion from housing staff members.
Along with Sebastian Burkholdt, UGA's Intensive English Program Assistant Director, she developed a curriculum and syllabus for the program focused on improving English language proficiency for the workplace. "We strongly believe in the power of fostering professional growth and development among our staff," Rubio-Delgado says. "It strengthens relationships, improves workplace communication, increases productivity and fosters a sense of belonging."
Burkholdt agrees the program has the potential for far-reaching impact on the UGA community. "The collaboration with Housing Facilities allows us to help UGA staff members who wish to communicate more effectively in English in their daily lives and their careers."
This partnership between University Housing and IEP exemplifies the commitment of the University of Georgia to fostering the professional growth and development of all its staff members. "Our business is one of people, our staff. Watching staff grow to become the best versions of themselves is always very satisfying," Deason says.
""You can't force learning," Rubio-Delgado adds, "but you can create the conditions in which people are inspired and empowered to learn." | eng | 36ab90c0-d8f4-4d16-896f-fe9bb74bde9f | https://studentaffairs.uga.edu/empowering-our-spanish-language-staff/ |
Due to the advantages of preserving privacy, low-resolution thermopile infrared array sensor (TPAS), as an alternative to visible light sensor, has gained increasing attention for real-time perception and monitoring of indoor human targets. However, most recent research focus on single individual just because of its low resolution. Additionally, there are many dynamically changing heat sources besides human targets in indoor environments. The switching states, positional movements of interfering heat sources, as well as occlusions between interfering heat sources and humans and among humans themselves, pose a great challenge and bear significance to the task of removing dynamic background and distinguishing occluded human instances in low resolution. This paper proposes a new infrared occluded multi-human segmentation network based on Mask R-CNN and designs a new multi-scale fusion feature pyramid detection network. A hardware platform is constructed based on a TPAS with 24×32 pixels. The improved Mask R-CNN can effectively segment occluded multi-human instances even in low-resolution dynamically changing scenarios. However, there is still possible to segment dynamic indoor heat sources as human targets. To address this issue, this paper introduces an adaptive Gaussian background removal algorithm applying a priori map for multi-human (AGBR-PMM). A combination of these two methods in low-resolution scenes achieves good segmentation of occluded human instances while eliminating interferences from dynamic indoor scenes. This lays the foundation for subsequent human behavior recognition using low-resolution thermopile infrared array sensor. | eng | f8def70b-b963-47f2-9ddd-ce2e5b299ecf | https://www.techrxiv.org/articles/preprint/OMSLD_Occlusion-Aware_Multi-human_Segmentation_in_Low-resolution_Infrared_Dynamic_Scene/23721933/1 |

Masterfully miniature on ivory was executed in 1832 and depicts a noblewoman in a blue wide-brimmed hat with feathers. It was created by famous Italian miniature painter Giuseppe Naudin ( 1792 - Parma - 1872), who was the court painter of Maria Louise, Duchess of Parma ( former wife of Napoleon I). Based on some similarity with her famous portraits, it can be assumed that it is she who is depicted in our miniature.
The author Giuseppe Naudin was descended from a French family who moved to Parma at the time of the first Bourbons. He attended Paolo Toschi´s studio, specializing in the art of miniature and watercolor. He collaborated for some time with Toschi and with Carlo Raimondi. He also became known nationally after having made some watercolor copies of Correggio´s frescoes.
The Duchess Maria Luigia appointed him a court painter and became an honorary academician of the Academy of Fine Arts in Parma. He made watercolor copies of the frescoes of various painters and refined paintings of the country residences of Maria Luigia and of the interiors of the Palazzo Ducale in Parma. Under his guidance, the Duchess perfected the watercolor technique.
He became famous throughout Italy, especially as a miniaturist. He was awarded various honors: in 1872 the king of Italy awarded him with a gold medal and with the Mauritian insignia. | eng | fbb674f3-ce25-4e7b-9d91-be07910e074c | http://www.altekunst-vienna.com/frontend/scripts/index.php?groupId=0&productId=5864&setMainAreaTemplatePath=mainarea_productdetail.html&query= |

The Latest Advancements in Sushi-Making Technology
Sushi has been a beloved culinary art form in Japan for centuries, captivating food enthusiasts worldwide with its delicate flavors and artistic presentation. Traditionally, sushi-making has required years of training and skillful craftsmanship.
With automation and technological advancements, sushi-making has taken a leap into the future. This article will explore the latest advancements in sushi-making technology and shed light on the benefits of sushi machines.
The Rise of Automation
Automation has revolutionized various industries, and the culinary world is no exception. Sushi-making, once regarded as an art form exclusively practiced by skilled sushi chefs, has now entered the realm of automation. Sushi machines can now replicate the precision and finesse of human hands, producing consistent and high-quality sushi rolls.
Streamlined Production Process
One of the significant benefits of sushi machines is their ability to streamline the production process. In traditional sushi-making, a single chef can only create a limited number of rolls in a given time.
With automation, sushi machines can produce more sushi rolls in a shorter period. This increased efficiency allows sushi restaurants to meet the growing demand for sushi without compromising quality.
Consistency and Precision
Consistency is key when it comes to sushi. Each roll should be uniform in size and shape, with the right ingredients. Sushi machines excel in delivering consistency and precision. They are programmed to roll the sushi with the perfect amount of rice, evenly spread and tightly wrapped around the filling. This ensures that every roll looks and tastes identical, providing customers with a satisfying and predictable sushi experience.
Enhanced Hygiene and Food Safety
Food safety is of utmost importance in any culinary establishment. Sushi machines play a significant role in maintaining high hygiene and food safety standards. By automating the sushi-making process, the need for human hands to come into direct contact with the ingredients is significantly reduced. This minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and ensures the sushi remains safe for consumption.
With automation, fewer staff members are needed to operate the machines, leading to cost savings for the restaurant. This allows businesses to allocate their resources more efficiently, improving profitability. If you want to know about the other benefits of these machines and their cost, you can check websites such as
Creative Possibilities
While automation in sushi-making offers consistency and efficiency, it does not limit creativity. Sushi machines can be programmed to create various sushi rolls, including traditional favorites and innovative creations. Chefs can experiment with different combinations of ingredients and flavors, pushing the boundaries of sushi-making. This combination of automation and creativity opens up new possibilities for culinary exploration.
Preserving the Art of Sushi
Despite the rise of automation, it is important to acknowledge the significance of skilled sushi chefs and the artistry they bring to sushi-making. While sushi machines can replicate the process, they cannot replace the human touch and creativity that chefs bring. The art of sushi-making is deeply rooted in tradition and craftsmanship, and it is essential to preserve this cultural heritage.
It is crucial to balance automation and the artistry of sushi-making, appreciating the human touch that makes sushi truly special. With the latest advancements in sushi-making technology, the future of sushi looks promising, combining the best of both worlds—technology and tradition. | eng | b76576eb-2b86-4ebc-8530-28b8de1a1308 | https://simpleathome.com/the-latest-advancements-in-sushi-making-technology |

How to Fix Tough Pasta Dough? add more flour a little bit at a time.
You may also need to knead the dough more to get it to come together.
2 ways to adjust your pasta dough.
If your pasta dough is too tough, it probably needs more moisture
Try adding a little bit of water, 1 teaspoon at a time, and kneading until the dough is softer
If the dough is still too tough, you may need to add more flour
Start by adding 1 tablespoon of flour at a time, and kneading until the dough is the right consistency
If your pasta dough is too sticky, it probably needs less moisture
Try removing some of the water, 1 teaspoon at a time, and kneading until the dough is less sticky
If the dough is still too sticky, you may need to add more flour
Start by adding 1 tablespoon of flour at a time, and kneading until the dough is less sticky but still pliable enough to work with easily
Pasta Dough Cracking While Kneading
If you've ever made homemade pasta, you know that the dough can be a bit finicky. It's easy to overwork it or not work it enough, and one of the telltale signs of an imperfect dough is cracking. If your dough cracks while you're kneading it, don't despair!
There are a few things you can do to salvage it. First, make sure your surface is clean and dry. A dusty or wet countertop will make it harder for the dough to come together.
Second, add more flour a little at a time until the dough is no longer sticky and easy to work with. Once you've added enough flour, try kneading the dough again – it should be smooth and elastic, not crumbly or dry. If your dough is still cracking, it may be too dry.
To moisten it up, add a small amount of water (a tablespoon at a time) until the dough comes together easily. You may also need to let the Dough rest for 10-15 minutes before continuing to knead – this will give the flour time to absorb some of the moisture from the water and make the Dough less likely to crack. With a little patience (and maybe some extra flour or water), you can get your pasta Dough back on track!
Why is My Pasta Dough Tough?
If your pasta dough is tough, it's likely because you either overworked the dough or didn't add enough moisture. When making pasta dough, it's important to work the dough just until it comes together in a shaggy ball. Overworking the dough will make it tough and difficult to roll out.
If your dough feels too dry, add a little bit of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Once you've made your pasta dough, let it rest for 30 minutes before rolling it out so that the gluten can relax.
Can You Save Overworked Pasta Dough?
If you've ever made homemade pasta, you know that the dough can be a bit finicky. Overworked dough will result in tough, chewy noodles, and no one wants that. So what do you do if you've accidentally overworked your dough?
Is it possible to save it, or are you doomed to start over? Here's the good news: it is possible to save overworked pasta dough! The key is to add moisture back into the dough so that it doesn't end up being too dry.
One way to do this is to wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and then let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This will give the gluten a chance to relax and absorb some of the extra moisture from the plastic wrap. Another way to add moisture back into overworked pasta dough is to knead in a small amount of water, just enough to make the dough pliable again.
Once you've added moisture back into the dough, let it rest for another 15-20 minutes before rolling it out again. With a little TLC, your overworked pasta dough will be saved!
How Tough Should Pasta Dough Be?
When it comes to pasta dough, there is no single answer to the question of how tough it should be. The appropriate level of toughness will vary depending on the type of pasta you are making, as well as your personal preferences. For example, if you are making a delicate egg pasta, the dough will need to be softer and more pliable than if you were making a hearty whole wheat variety.
In general, however, most pasta doughs should be fairly firm when rolled out. The goal is to achieve a consistent thickness throughout the sheet of dough, without any thin or thick spots. If the dough is too soft, it will be difficult to roll out evenly and may result in an inconsistent final product.
On the other hand, if the dough is too tough, it will be difficult to work with and may end up being overly chewy once cooked. The best way to gauge the appropriate level of toughness for your pasta dough is to simply experiment until you find a consistency that works for you. Start with a firmer dough and add additional water or flour as needed until you achieve the desired consistency.
With a little practice, you'll soon be able to make perfect pasta every time!
How Do You Fix Dough With Too Much Flour Pasta?
If you find that your dough is too dry and there is too much flour, you can add more liquid a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If your dough is too sticky, you can add more flour a little at a time until it forms into a ball and is no longer sticky to the touch.
Conclusion
If you're having trouble fixing tough pasta dough, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure the dough is properly hydrated. Second, add a little bit of olive oil to the dough.
Third, use a rolling pin to help flatten the dough. Finally, let the dough rest for a few minutes before cooking it. With these tips, you should be able to fix tough pasta dough and enjoy a delicious meal! | eng | 35905a97-8a39-4e71-9179-f9fd6fc15b0e | https://blogthelovefood.com/how-to-fix-tough-pasta-dough/ |

Apply several coats to achieve more depth, and be sure to allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
Wood Burning (Pyrography)
Wood burning, also referred to as pyrography, uses an electric pen to make designs on wooden letters. This method is ideal for creating intricate designs or elaborate artwork. Before you begin, try it on a scrap piece of wood in order to become acquainted with the wood-burning tool. Burn the designs carefully onto the letters. Then utilize different pen tips to create different line thicknesses. Make sure to take your time and work at a slow pace to get the desired results.
Add Embellishments
To enhance the wooden letters in the alphabet, you can add small ornamental elements such as buttons, beads, or rhinestones. Use a sturdy adhesive to secure the embellishments to the letter. You can make patterns or add a little glitter to make the letters stand out.
Seal and Secure

Tantra Of Assam
Share This Post
The Tantra of Assam is rooted in the ancient tradition of Tantra, which emerged in India thousands of years ago. Tantra is a spiritual path that encompasses a wide range of practices, rituals, and beliefs aimed at self-realization, spiritual growth, and union with the divine. The word "Tantra" is derived from the Sanskrit root "tan," meaning "to expand" or "to weave," signifying the weaving together of various aspects of existence.
The Influence of Assam:
Assam, located in northeastern India, has a deep-rooted connection to Tantra. The state is known for its rich cultural heritage, mystical landscapes, and the famous Kamakhya Temple. The Tantric practices of Assam are closely associated with the worship of the Goddess Kamakhya and her diverse manifestations, making it a significant center for Shakti worship.
The Kamakhya Temple:
The Kamakhya Temple, situated on the Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, is one of the most renowned Shakti Peethas in India. It is considered the primary center of the Tantra of Assam. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess Kamakhya, who represents the divine feminine and is associated with fertility, creation, and transformative power. Devotees from various parts of India and the world visit the temple to seek blessings and engage in Tantric rituals.
Shaktism and the Goddess:
The Tantra of Assam is deeply rooted in the Shakta tradition, which emphasizes the worship of the divine feminine, or Shakti. Shaktism holds that the ultimate reality is both transcendent and immanent, with the Goddess being the supreme cosmic power. The Goddess is seen as the source of creation, preservation, and dissolution, and devotees seek her grace to attain spiritual liberation.
Tantric Rituals and Sadhanas:
Tantric rituals, known as Sadhanas, form an integral part of the Tantra of Assam. These practices aim to purify the mind, awaken dormant energies, and facilitate spiritual transformation. Sadhanas may involve the recitation of mantras, visualization, meditation, and the use of yantras, which are sacred geometric diagrams representing aspects of the divine.
Esoteric Sexual Practices:
One distinctive feature of the Tantra of Assam is the exploration of esoteric sexual practices. Tantra acknowledges the potency of sexual energy and its potential for spiritual growth. These practices, known as Maithuna or ritual sexual union, involve the conscious harnessing of sexual energy within a ritualized and sacred context. It is important to note that these practices are approached with reverence, discipline, and respect for ethical guidelines.
The Five M's:
The Tantra of Assam, like other Tantric traditions, often incorporates the "Five M's" or "Pancha Makara" as symbolic representations of various elements. These include Madya (wine/alcohol), Mamsa (meat), Matsya (fish), Mudra (grain), and Maithuna (sexual union). Symbolically, these represent the transmutation of base elements into refined spiritual qualities. However, it's crucial to understand that the Five M's can also be interpreted metaphorically rather than as literal prescriptions.
The Role of Guru:
In the Tantra of Assam, the guidance of a qualified Guru (teacher) is considered essential for the sincere seeker. The Guru imparts knowledge, initiates disciples into the esoteric practices, and guides them through their spiritual journey. The relationship between the Guru and the disciple is built on trust, devotion, and adherence to ethical principles.
Astrology and Mystical Sciences:
The Tantra of Assam integrates various mystical sciences, including astrology, numerology, palmistry, and other divinatory practices. These sciences are seen as tools to gain deeper insights into individual destinies, understand the interconnectedness of cosmic forces, and navigate the spiritual path. Tantriks in Assam often possess knowledge and expertise in these sciences.
Tantric Temples and Sacred Sites:
Apart from the Kamakhya Temple, Assam is home to several other Tantric temples and sacred sites. These include the Umananda Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and the Hajo pilgrimage site, which hosts ancient Tantric rituals. These temples and sites hold immense spiritual significance and attract devotees seeking blessings, healing, and spiritual experiences.
Misconceptions and Ethical Considerations:
Tantra, including the Tantra of Assam, has often been misunderstood and misrepresented. It is important to approach Tantric practices with respect, sensitivity, and a genuine desire for spiritual growth. The ethical guidelines of Tantra emphasize non-harm, consent, integrity, and the pursuit of spiritual liberation rather than mere sensual gratification.
The Tantra of Assam represents a unique blend of spiritual practices, rituals, and beliefs centered around the worship of the divine feminine and the exploration of sexual energy as a means of spiritual transformation. Rooted in the Shakta tradition and influenced by the mysticism of Assam, it offers seekers a pathway to self-realization and union with the divine. Engaging in these practices with the guidance of a qualified Guru and adherence to ethical principles can lead to profound spiritual growth and awakening.
Please note that this overview provides a broad understanding of the Tantra of Assam, and further research or guidance from authoritative sources is recommended for a more comprehensive exploration of this intricate tradition. | eng | 313f34fa-9c90-4289-8cb8-d6c94fd2a2da | https://www.astrosailyajit.com/tantra-of-assam/ |

Los Angeles based, Paramount Studios mixer and producer, Yáng Young Tan, has been painting Asian and Western stages with her musical color. Participating in hits like Jackon and Stephanie's "I Love You 3000 II" to Raveena's "Rush," her talents are clear in hip-hop and pop. Since coming from China to the states in 2014, her roster also boasts acts like J. Cole and AleXa, and we can't wait for what we'll hear from her next.
For EnVi, I spoke with Yáng Tan about her musical journey and the tools she uses, the importance of just trying things out despite limitations, and finding your personal touch as an artist.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
_____________
For those who don't know, can you briefly describe what you do as a music producer and mixer?
Yáng: The thing we do is bringing the vision of the artist into reality. Mixing is the very last step before going to the mastering. It's kind of like, if you are preparing a dish and all the parts of the dish were prepared—the mixer is the one that puts them all together and then presents them nicely with balance. That's what I do every day.
So how did you get started in music, and how and why did you eventually move into K-pop, since you've previously worked with musicians like Kanye and J. Cole?
Yáng: I didn't purposely move to K-pop. It really was chance that I worked with Jackson Wang, previously from GOT7. I worked on his first solo album. I mixed the whole album. I was fortunate to know some friends from LA who worked on amazing things on K-pop and they just brought me the opportunity to mix their projects. It was a very unexpected gift for me. I have so much appreciation for K-pop and I am so fortunate. I would love to work on more in the future.
In terms of how I got into music, I was actually in an art program—fine arts—because my family are all artists and designers and they wanted me to do the same. I was in a high school attached to an art academy, but I wasn't happy with what I was doing. I felt like my talent wasn't in fine arts. I was really into music. I always had a love for music.
I wanted to learn how to play piano, and I used to sneak into the classrooms. When my mom taught art classes, I would sneak into the piano classrooms and just secretly practice piano. I took lessons from a composer when I was a sophomore and I changed my major without my family knowing, because they didn't know that I was taking classes. Then I applied for a music conservatory, and then also a university that offered a music and technology program. Eventually, I got accepted by the university. That got me really into the production side of the music.
Especially because it is a male-dominated field, do you have any advice about "making it" in the industry?
Yáng: A lot of people think that, as a female, it's harder to "make it," but I think the reality is it's hard for everyone. The key is not to doubt yourself and just keep going. You will face a lot of challenges, the only key is to be consistent and never give up. That's the best advice I'll give to my younger self.
I think the only blockage for female creatives is that they think they are not capable. I think women are really capable of figuring things out, but if you are scared in the first place, it'll be really hard to get better.
You've talked before in interviews about being traditionally trained in China, so in what ways does that make your work unique?
Yáng: My school was structured more towards classical music, and I got the chance to work with the China National Orchestra. I was touring with them for two years. You really learn how to set up everything, the balance, and a lot more than just recording one vocal in a studio versus how we had 122 channels at a time. It's kind of like you started with a bigger scale and then you move into a more microscopic scale of one—[especially] for pop music now, it's mostly the vocals, we're very vocal focused.
It just taught me how to listen and I think that's the biggest thing, but also there's limitations. Back in the day, my mentor, she's a composer—classically trained—she was like, "If you didn't learn piano when you were three, there's a very slim chance. You can make music, but you won't be able to write."
That was the limitation that I believed for the longest time until 2018, when I met J. Cole in a session. That's how I got into music production. I learned more tricks instead of limiting myself in the box, thinking that I wouldn't be able to write music. But there are so many ways nowadays, with technology and everything. And I do know music, I can play what I hear in my head. So, no matter how long you take, you will finally get there, but I think that was the limitation of classical training.
Is it different working with artists across genres, or do you carry a musical philosophy that allows you to easily adapt to any style?
Yáng: I used to think about how it's supposed to sound, a lot, but I think it's kind of like any genre of art, right? If you are in visual art, there's a certain trend that goes on every year. You sort of have the eyes for it. Then for us, we'll have the ears for it, and we listen to it. We kind of know what the taste is, what the trend is for the coming years, and you kind of adapt your own palette into it.
For me, it took me a long time to figure it out—I have a special palette. I always think about my mixing technique, which is more like Claude Monet's paintings. I have that less clear, like shimmery, really grayed out color to it. That's always my signature. That's how I like to hear sounds.
For a different genre, you listen to a bunch of those songs and get what is its focal point. For K-pop, the vocal is the most important thing, and also different instrumentals, because they always have a big production. As long as you can grasp what the producer's intention was, we can really make a song. Those are techniques, but at the end of the day, it's how that song makes you feel.
When I was mixing Jackson's and Stephanie's, "I Love You 3000 II," I was feeling that song as a love song. You listen to it in the winter, and you want to feel the warmth in you, so you have to bring that noise, bring that warmth into the vocal, so it's less crispy, but more raspiness. A good mix is how you bring the emotional elements out.
Do you ever have times where you're not inspired, like a creative block? How do you get through it?
Yáng: I actually procrastinate a lot, and I have a bad habit of finishing someone else's project before mine, [especially] because I work as a mixer. Sometimes, it really kills the mood or creative side of me. When that happens, I'll take a break, watch a movie, or I will watch some tutorials, like learning the technical side, like "how to use synthesizers" on YouTube.
Nine times out of ten, those people are really inspiring and that gets me hyped like, "Oh, I want to try this!" It's kind of like learning how to do your makeup. [When] you watch a makeup tutorial, you'll get really hyped up to try a new technique, right? So, it's the same with music. I think watching other people do their magic helps.
Have you worked in the Chinese industry, and are there musical standouts there that Western audiences should also be noticing? Any dream collaborations?
Yáng: I do have a lot of people I want to work with. Lay from EXO, I love his recent direction of where he is going with his music. There's also a lot of really cool indie artists that are coming out, and that's what I'm really looking forward to. I think, because they are really international, they have a lot of intake of what's going on in the Western world, so they can really try a lot of different things and I think it's really cool.
I usually do New Music Friday on Spotify, so I usually will listen to them and then go through those artists. Of the top, Conan Gray is someone that I really want to work with, and Giveon. I've worked with him once, but I haven't been able to really get into a very deep creative process with him. And FKA twigs. I really love her music. I worked with her once, like I recorded her, but I really wish that one day I can make music with her. That'll be dope.
What is your ultimate goal with music? What do you strive for musically?
Yáng: My ultimate goal is to make music every day and just have fun with people. I recently started to think less about what I am achieving and more about enjoying the process of making music with friends. The vision I'm seeing is like, I can travel anywhere and look outside the windows, like glaciers or whatever, like a beautiful view. And then I'm making music, getting inspired every day. I think that's my ultimate goal. I am sort of living in that state, where I can make music every day now. I hope that it can last, and all of the success or whatever that comes on along the way is the side effect. I'm living the life I want to live, if that makes sense. | eng | 9106e4d4-5ab8-4865-998d-53c7986dd5a6 | https://www.envimedia.co/creative-spotlight-yang-young-tan-on-mixing-with-j-cole-jackson-wang-and-monet/ |

1. Good or Out?
Balls that land inside and outside of the court lines are easy to identify, but what if the ball lands on the line, is it considered good or out?
Two words; it's good. If any part of the ball touches any part of the court line, the ball is considered good. So, unless you see a clear space between where the ball landed and the court line, the ball is most likely good.
You're probably thinking that this whole point of contact should be a very tiny point so, how are we measuring 'part' of a point?
Here's the interesting answer, a tennis ball is made of rubber so it compresses when it hits the ground, making the surface area of the ball that touches the floor larger.
Other types of balls (for example, the ones used in pickleball) that are not rubbery don't compress like the tennis ball, so their point of contact is much smaller.
So, to sum up, the point of contact is what determines if a ball is in or out.
2. The Rules of Making Calls
Now that we've established how to know if a ball is in or out, let's see how to make calls.
General Rules
Calls can be made by a player either by audible or visible manners.
It doesn't matter if it's a match point or just a regular point in the middle of the game, every point is treated the same.
Spectators shouldn't make calls, as they aren't part of the match, and a player shouldn't rely on their opinions or consider them proof.
If a player believes the ball to be out, he should call it out as soon as possible, before the opponent starts to play the return shot. Once the game is resumed, the player loses the chance to call the ball out.
Although this is very rare, sometimes a ball that was headed to be out hits the net post and is kept in play.
Who Calls the Ball Out?
First of all, a player is responsible for making the decision of calling a ball out if there are no on-court officials.
Players only get to make calls on 'their' own side of the court and the opponent gets the benefit of the doubt. But keep in mind that any doubt will be set in favor of the opponent, to prevent complications.
It's the player's responsibility to call a ball out and if they don't do so, it's considered good.
Doubles Match
When playing a doubles match, either player can make the call.
However, it's important to call a ball out 'only' if you're sure it's out. Let your partner who was looking at the line make the call to avoid disagreement between partners on the same team.
Because if one partner calls a ball out and the other calls it good, the ball will be considered good.
Opponents' Opinions
Sometimes the opponent's opinion is requested. This can happen only on a call that ends a point. A positive opinion of the opponent should be accepted.
Sometimes opponents call their own shots out if they're 100% positive that it was out, even if it's against their own good and no one obliged them to do so. That being said, however, players can't call their own shots out if the first serve if being played.
Making Calls on Clay Courts
A ball touching the line on any type of court is considered good. But lines on a clay court can sometimes be tricky because they're usually made out of material like white tapes instead of being painted like on other types of courts.
If you can only see part of the mark where the ball hit the ground, the rest of the mark is most probably on the line, or in this case 'the white tape', thus the ball is considered good.
3. The Etiquette of Calling a Ball Out
Now that you know how to call a ball out, let's take a look at how you 'shouldn't'.
Calling a ball out should be clear, therefore, it's better to make your call just by saying a simple 'out'. You don't have to say things like "That was too deep", "too wide", "Sorry that was way back!" or anything of the sort.
Try not to be aggressive, sarcastic or overly celebrate a ball that's out. Put yourself in your opponent's shoes, it's not very nice, right?
Also, it's very irritating to call a ball out without even bothering to actually 'look' that it went out. You might be making a very professional prediction due to your vast experience or your great eye for things but – still – it's pretty annoying.
Another frustrating thing is when someone calls a ball out too early. This can sometimes bother not only the opponent but also the spectators and officials.
Although this may sound like a joke, some people actually point out at the ground and claim that a certain mark is the one that was just hit, as proof that the ball is out. This is a bit unprofessional. Your Sherlock Holmes shrewdness is much appreciated but remember, this is just a game!
Final Words
Tennis is a great sport, whether you're a player or a spectator. And playing by the rules always makes everyone happy.
In the end, a good game is what makes people enjoy sports, and a fair win is a more satisfying win for every good sportsman | eng | b97ac221-ae1e-4d97-a7dd-c0016471467f | https://thedailyracquet.com/tennis-rules-calling-a-ball-out/ |
What is the SRAM hierarchy?
The SRAM road hierarchy is relatively simple compared to its expansive and confusingly labelled MTB echelons. There are just four main subdivisions: Apex is its entry-level system, followed by the mid-range Rival, and topped by the performance-level Force and pro-standard Red.
What are the levels of SRAM components?
SRAM's road groupset range comprises four main groups: Apex, Rival, Force and Red (low to high, in terms of price). All of its road groupsets now include a hydraulic disc brake option.
Can you convert SRAM Force 1x to 2x?
This is absolutely possible, you'd just need 2x chainrings, front derailleur, and potentially new chain (most likely). Then you just have to go through the pairing process with the AXS app, to pair the FD with the rest of the system, and you are all set.
Is SRAM X1 the same as X01?
X01 is one price bracket more expensive than X1, its very similar to XX1 in terms of tech but the focus here is on durability rather than weight-conscious riders. As a result, it's heavier but perhaps sturdier.
Which SRAM components are the best?
Best SRAM Mountain Bike Groupset Buying Guide
SRAM's groupsets are sought-after for their industry-leading weight-saving properties.
SRAM SX Eagle is the brand's entry-level groupset.
XX1 Eagle AXS is SRAM's top-end drivetrain collection, used by many professional riders in elite competition.
Can road bike groupset be used on MTB?
There are a couple of problems using a road group on an MTB frame. If you have a frame with 130mm rear spacing and a 68 or 73mm BB shell, you can fit a external BB, road crank and rim brake hub. (I checked: 105 5700 and R7000 cranks both work with 68 and 73mm shells.
Can you use a 2x rear derailleur for a 1x?
No. Both drivetrain setups use the same rear derailleur unless you are using a 10-50 or 11-50 Eagle™ cassette. These cassettes require the use of an Eagle™ AXS™ rear derailleur.
Is XX1 or xo1 better?
THE DIFFERENCES IN X01 is designed to be best for enduro and aggressive trail riding to meet a balance of weight and durability. The X01 AXS derailleur has nearly the same construction of XX1, but with stainless steel hardware, a fully alloy pulley cage for extra durability, and steel pulley wheel bearings.
Does X01 cassette last longer than GX?
I had an X01 Eagle derailleur last me 2 years without issue. In contrast, I went through a GX Eagle derailleur in 6 months before it developed play and lost shift quality. The X01 Eagle chain also last far longer than GX. The GX Eagle cassette, cranks and shifter seemed solid to me.
Does SRAM own Zipp?
Why are 1x drivetrains better?
The biggest advantage is probably how a 1x drivetrain lets you focus on your ride, instead of constantly adjusting gears. It's also less likely that your chain will drop off the front since it's fixed to one chain ring .
Are 1x drivetrains worth it?
The biggest advantage is probably how a 1x drivetrain lets you focus on your ride, instead of constantly adjusting gears. It's also less likely that your chain will drop off the front since it's fixed to one chain ring . All this does come at a price. | eng | 7c5d218b-0be7-4f96-a212-86cf45a558b2 | https://www.goodgraeff.com/what-is-the-sram-hierarchy/ |

A Hands-on Approach to the Planning Stage
Helping your children master writing skills presents a challenge when working with different learning styles. When I taught freshman English, my students were allowed to choose their own approach for planning. Some just made lists of questions while others constructed graphic organizers like bubble charts or word webs. They usually found ways to adapt the process to their own learning styles. But I often wondered how I could adapt the planning stage for hands-on learners.
Maybe you've asked a similar question. Here's one way you can help your child get a literal feel for the planning stage.
First, he'll need a lot of notecards—3×5 cards cut in halves or fourths work best—and a pencil.
We'll use the comparison-and-contrast essay and the sample brainstorming from chapter 3 of Writing & Grammar 12 as a foundation for this activity. (Example is from Student Worktext, page 64.)
Next, instead of making an ordinary list, have your child write each new idea he has about roller coasters (or whatever other topic he chooses) on a notecard.
Once he has a good number of cards (fifteen to twenty would be a good start), have him sort through his cards, putting all the items of a similar nature together in the same pile. For example, we can categorize items such as height, speed, rough, and smooth from the list above as physical characteristics.
After sorting the cards into piles according to categories, he should label the back of each card according to the category it belongs to.
He may find that one of his ideas can act like a category itself, like kinds of seats with our roller coaster brainstorming. Or he might realize that some ideas don't fit into any of his categories. Suggest that he spend more time thinking through these cards, just in case there are other ideas that he could connect the loose cards to. If there's nothing else, let him return to his larger categories.
With a comparison-and-contrast essay, as in our example, your child would need to sort his cards down further into the categories of the two items he's comparing—in this case, wooden roller coasters and steel roller coasters. In a different kind of essay, these larger categories could represent different major points in the argument and would be separated into sub-points.
From here, your child needs to make sure of the purpose of his essay. If he's decided to prove that steel roller coasters are more fun than wooden ones, then he should look through his cards to see which of his categories support his position.
Finally, it's time to organize the cards according to their strength. In writing, we often conclude with the strongest point because information given last is what readers remember best. If he's decided that his strongest argument rests on a physical characteristic, he should put his cards from that category at the bottom of the stack.
When brainstorming on notecards, it's easy for your child to handle the information in a more literal sense. He can rearrange and recategorize his ideas as he needs to, without the hassle and mess of crossing out and erasing. He can also add additional notes or pictures to his cards, or whatever helps him manipulate the information.

Sub-nanosecond electrical breakdown in dielectric liquids is of vital interest for applications, e.g. in high-voltage insulation, high-current switching and electric field-cell interactions. Liquid dielectrics in strong nonuniform electric fields are under influence of electrostrictive force that tends to move the fluid into the regions with higher electric field. If the voltage rise is fast enough(nanoseconds), the liquid does not have enough time to be set into motion in order to reduce the internal stress. In this case the electrostrictive force induces significant stress in the bulk of the liquid which is manifested as a negative pressure. At certain threshold, the negative pressure causes cavitation ruptures of the fluid. Subsequently, free electrons can be produced by emission from the surface inside the cavity and accelerated to energies exceeding the energy for ionization of water and thus, contribute to electrical breakdown of water.We present numerical model, which gives us basic ingredients necessary to study interaction of accelerated electrons with liquid water during sub-nanosecond electrical breakdown. We aim to determine geometrical conditions in electrode vicinity needed for electron multiplication and subsequent build up of space charge, for which we propose to use Monte Carlo software Geant4-DNA. Using of proper simulation techniques could enable us to explain some experimentally observed properties of sub-nanosecond electrical breakdown in liquid water. | eng | b6170eee-ee92-4272-8598-a5f7fe31ed88 | https://www.confer.cz/nanocon/2018/236-simulation-of-electron-interactions-with-liquid-water-and-processes-related-to-sub-nanosecond-electrical-breakdown |

Pronunciation of names is an important part of communication, and correctly pronouncing the name Amanpreet is no different. This comprehensive guide provides an exploration into the subtle nuances of correctly pronouncing this unique name in order to ensure effective communication. With its distinct cultural origin, understanding how to pronounce Amanpreet will be beneficial for those wishing to demonstrate cultural sensitivity and appreciation.
This guide will provide a detailed analysis of the phonetics behind saying this delightful name, as well as tips on how to confidently pronounce it in various settings. The aim of this guide is to provide readers with the knowledge they need to confidently and accurately pronounce Amanpreet. By following this comprehensive guide, readers will be able to gain a greater appreciation for both the beauty and complexity of this unique name.
Understanding the Phonetics Behind Amanpreet
Amanpreet is a name of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit language. It is composed of two elements, "aman"which means peace, and "prit"which means love or pleasure. The pronunciation of the name is based on standard English phonetics, but with the addition of an extra syllable that appears at the end.
The emphasis in pronouncing Amanpreet should fall on the second syllable, 'preet'. To pronounce it correctly, begin by saying the first syllable 'a' as ah and then move to a soft m sound followed by an n sound in 'man'. The final syllable should be said as 'prit' with a slightly harder p than usual.
To practice pronouncing Amanpreet properly, it may be helpful to listen to audio recordings of native speakers saying the name correctly until you have perfected your own pronunciation. With practice and patience, it is possible to say Amanpreet like a true native speaker!
Breaking down the Syllables
Amanpreet is a unique name that can be difficult to pronounce for many people. To better understand the phonetics and syllables behind this name, it is useful to break down each component. By understanding the individual elements of the name, pronouncing Amanpreet can become much easier.
The 'Aman' portion of the name contains two distinct syllables, pronounced ah-mahn. Starting with a soft vowel sound in the first syllable, followed by a hard consonant sound in the second syllable. The second part of the name 'Preet' consists of three distinct syllables, pronounced preh-eh-t. Here again, beginning with a soft vowel sound in the first syllable before transitioning into two hard consonant sounds in the last two syllables.
Combining both parts together results in an easily recognizable pronunciation and should take no more than a few attempts to master correctly. Amanpreet is now a much simpler word to say and understand thanks to its distinctive components and their corresponding sounds.
The Proper Stress Placement
Syllable emphasis is paramount when pronouncing the name Amanpreet. It is important to note the stress patterns of the four syllables in order to properly pronounce the name. Accentuating the third syllable, 'preet', provides the most accurate pronunciation. It is recommended to emphasize this syllable, while slightly softening the other syllables. Furthermore, the sound of the second syllable, 'man', should be softly enunciated. Lastly, it is important to note that the stress should be evenly distributed throughout the syllables.
Emphasizing Syllables
When pronouncing the name Amanpreet, it is important to understand the proper stress placement. Emphasizing the syllables in the correct order can help ensure that the name is pronounced correctly. The name has three syllables and should be pronounced with an emphasis on the middle syllable. The first syllable "a" should be lightly pronounced and the final syllable should be said softly as well. The primary focus should be placed on the middle syllable, "man", which should be spoken with a bit more emphasis than other two syllables. Additionally, it is important to note that when speaking quickly or casually, it may sound like only two syllables are being used and that both of them begin with an "m" sound. To avoid this mispronunciation, care must be taken to pronounce all three syllables clearly. With careful practice and pronunciation of each of the three syllables, one can confidently speak the name Amanpreet correctly every time.
Stress Patterns
The proper stress placement of words and names is essential for correct pronunciation. Stress patterns are the backbone of language, providing the structure of how a word should be pronounced. The rules of stress placement vary depending on the type and number of syllables in a word or name. Knowing these rules can help speakers ensure they are correctly emphasizing each syllable when speaking.
In English, most words with two or more syllables will have one main stressed syllable. This is known as the primary stress, which can be easily identified by an increase in volume and pitch when saying the syllable. For example, when pronouncing the word "tomato", the primary stress would be placed on the middle syllable "ma" since it is spoken louder and at a higher pitch than other syllables.
Additionally, certain multi-syllabic words may also contain secondary stresses that are less emphasized than the primary stress but still noticeable when spoken aloud. These secondary stresses usually occur on alternate syllables within a word or phrase, such as in longer compound words like "butterfly" and "sunshine". By understanding where to place these different levels of emphasis, speakers can confidently pronounce multi-syllabic words with ease and clarity. With this knowledge in hand, individuals can confidently apply it to any situation where proper pronunciation is desired.
Accentuating Specific Sounds
Beyond just the proper placement of stress, it is also important to consider which syllables should be accentuated and what level of emphasis they should receive. Different levels of emphasis can be used to convey a range of emotions and meanings, giving language more depth and nuance. For example, when saying the word "tomato" one could emphasize the first syllable "to" to express surprise or the last syllable "to" to express disappointment. By understanding how to apply these subtleties of accentuation, speakers can add further layers of meaning and expression into their speech.
Accenting specific sounds within words can also help distinguish similar sounding words from one another. For instance, accenting the middle syllable in "tomato" can help differentiate this word from its homophone "potato" by clearly emphasizing the difference in vowel sounds. Knowing how to apply these nuances of speech can help speakers communicate with greater clarity and accuracy.
In conclusion, mastering proper stress placement and accentuating specific sounds are essential skills for confident verbal communication. With practice and dedication, individuals can learn how to apply these rules correctly in order to improve their pronunciation skills and ensure their messages are heard loud and clear.

However, the correct pronunciation is "uh-MAHN-preet". This can be broken down into three syllables: "uh", "mahn"and "preet". The emphasis should be placed on the second syllable.
It is also important to note that accents may affect how a person pronounces Amanpreet. For example, someone from the United Kingdom may place a greater emphasis on the first syllable while someone from India may place more emphasis on the third syllable. Therefore, it is important to consider regional dialects when pronouncing this name.
When saying this name aloud, try to maintain a consistent speed throughout all three syllables. Taking pauses between each syllable will make it easier for others to understand what you are saying. In addition, you can practice speaking slowly and clearly while enunciating each sound in order to perfect your pronunciation of Amanpreet.
Confidently Demonstrating Cultural Sensitivity
When communicating with someone from a different cultural background, it is important to demonstrate cultural sensitivity. Pronouncing someone's name correctly is one way of demonstrating this respect. Amanpreet is a South Asian name and the correct pronunciation is uh-mahn-pree-eh-t. Taking the time to properly pronounce the name conveys thoughtful consideration to the person whose name you are speaking.
Demonstrating cultural sensitivity also includes being aware of any potential biases or prejudices present in your words and actions. It can be easy to make assumptions about an individual based on their culture or ethnicity, but it is essential to recognize these assumptions and instead choose to listen more and speak less. Engaging in meaningful conversations that are respectful of all cultures demonstrates an understanding that everyone should be treated equally regardless of their background.

I guess everyone has developed a disliked body part. Some people try to detach themselves from their whole body, even if it sounds unbelievable. How can you detach yourself from the body if it is almost impossible not to see it? While writing, I can see my hands. In the meantime, I scratch my ear and remind myself of its existence. My feet are cold, so I feel them, even if from some perspective I can't see them.
Our body sends signals with the frequency of a horribly busy hotline. So how can we effectively ignore all these ringtones and disconnect ourselves? What is needed then is a large dose of fear turning into anxiety, or trauma. These two are experts at achieving the impossible. I don't recommend working with them, better to look for another assistant.
However, I do not want to demonise fear. We need it because it can sharpen the senses and increase awareness in the face of danger, but if you overdose on fear, it makes you think you are in constant danger. I have a fear of writing in public, but the only way to bury that fear is to face it. I may think this is an unfortunate solution, but it is what it is. Sometimes just sharing your fears can bring relief, so I wish you would flood me with yours in the comments and I'll see if I can join one of your fearsome clubs.

How Preschool Teachers Can Reclaim a Sense of Joy and Purpose
Whether a student's or a staff member's, a birthday is serious business where I work. We have a colleague who creates handmade cards for us and makes sure that everyone in the building writes a quick note offering well wishes for the year to come. This year, I received a card with the message, "You are our sunshine."
As the clinical social worker of a state-subsidized preschool, I work hard to bring sunshine to our students. My colleagues do as well, so I make it a point to remind them that they are sunshine for our students. Each of us contributes to creating a joyful and nurturing learning environment for our school community.
But working during this pandemic has left my colleagues not only exhausted but now asking, "Why do I stay?" As more teachers bring this question to me, I offer suggestions to help them reclaim purpose and joy in the work of educating our youngest learners again.
Reframe the Idea of What Learning Should Look Like
Reframing our ideas and expectations about what learning needs to look like in early childhood settings can help teachers feel better about what they accomplish with students. I asked my son's pre-K teacher if I should be doing anything at home to support his learning. She said, "Preschool is about socialization. That can only happen here, at school." If our teachers reframe the important work of preschool—playing, making friends, becoming more independent with self-care skills, developing the ability to problem-solve, learning how to self-regulate—they can replace the pressure to prepare children for kindergarten with a sense of purpose and joy.
I ask teachers to remember what young children need to grow into well-adjusted adults. Executive functioning and social and emotional skills, while different from reciting the alphabet or holding a pencil with a tripod grasp, are crucial skills that need to be taught. It is the intentional and planned work they do that gets their students to achieve those skills.
Months ago, we enrolled a student who struggled with regulation in the classroom. Her teachers were frustrated by the student's frequent screaming and tantrums. They were worried that her classmates might perceive her behavior as acceptable if they did not intervene. "She can't be doing this here," they told me.
"That's exactly what you're telling her when you help her calm her body," I told them. "I know it doesn't feel like it, but when you sit with her in the quiet area and encourage her to use coping skills, you are teaching her to recognize when she needs to regulate and to problem-solve so she can successfully rejoin the group. You're also teaching her about following classroom expectations, and you're teaching the other children about this at the same time because they're watching you while you teach her these skills."
I went on to offer an encouraging, "Hang in there, you're doing more than you realize," before they left my office to return to their classroom.
Over time, my frustrated colleagues began to embrace the idea of reframing what learning looks like in their classroom. They added different fidgets, calm-down jars, and other soothing materials to their quiet area. They incorporated body-based coping skills, such as butterfly hugs or animal walks, into their daily circle and hung visuals around the room that provided different problem-solving strategies. They also posted a class pledge outlining expectations and had their students put their handprints on it as their signature.
I am rarely called to this classroom now because of this shift, and when I do hear a student struggling, my colleagues are quick to wave me away, telling me, "We've got this."
Enjoy Small Successes
Recently, I worked with a student who was dysregulated and needed support regulating his emotions. Typically, he hit and kicked me when I intervened in his running down the hall. One day, he stopped in front of the closed gate that blocked off the stairs. It wasn't until later in the day that I realized this was a small success for both of us. I stopped feeling like I wasn't helping him because I saw that what I was doing with him was working. It didn't matter that the work was slow going. What mattered was that it was working. Recognizing that was enough to spark in me both joy and a renewed sense of purpose in what I do.
Two of my colleagues were elated to share with me when their new student, who was anxious and withdrawn, finally made eye contact and smiled at them after weeks of their helping him feel comfortable in the classroom. Another colleague came running to my office during her break, happily telling me, "It worked!" after she used duct tape on her classroom floor to create a space for a student who frequently needed to move his body but often accidentally hit his classmates while getting his wiggles out. Once she explained to him where to go, he began using the space on his own. Celebrate small successes.
If we don't enjoy the small successes as students work toward proficiency, both students and teachers will be left feeling as though they haven't accomplished anything. A student was able to use the potty for the first time? Yes! A child was able to utilize the quiet area and calm down? High five to them and you. Your group was able to transition from motor play to tabletop activities with only two prompts instead of three? Something's working, and I bet it's you.
There will always be days when teachers in early childhood settings ask themselves why they continue to do this work, so we must be intentional in finding purpose and joy in teaching young children. Honoring the work that happens in early childhood settings, by reframing the idea of what learning needs to look like and celebrating the small successes that happen every day, will help teachers connect to the joy and purpose of teaching again, remember their why, and bring back their sunshine | eng | 9281851f-249f-4e89-8fc9-90ec67f216dc | https://www.edutopia.org/article/how-preschool-teachers-can-reclaim-sense-joy-and-purpose/ |

French Bulldog health is a top concern for pet parents who adore this popular and lovable breed. With their charming personalities and unique appearance, French Bulldogs have captured the hearts of many. However, they are also known to suffer from various health problems that can affect their quality of life. One way to support a healthy French Bulldog is by providing them with a vegan diet, like the one offered by PawCo. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of a vegan diet for French Bulldogs, debunk the myth of dogs being strict carnivores, and discuss why PawCo is the perfect choice for your pup's nutritional needs.
Are French Bulldogs an Unhealthy Breed?
While French Bulldogs are a popular breed, they are unfortunately prone to various health issues, including allergies and breathing problems. The average lifespan of French Bulldogs is around 10-12 years, but some may live longer with proper care and nutrition. A healthy French Bulldog is one that receives a well-rounded diet, exercise, and regular veterinary check-ups.
Common Health Problems in French Bulldogs
Breathing problems: French Bulldogs are susceptible to brachycephalic airway syndrome due to short snouts and compact airways. This can cause difficulty breathing, snoring, and other respiratory issues.
Allergies and skin issues: French Bulldog allergies are common, often manifesting as skin irritations, itching, and infections.
Obesity and related complications: Due to their sturdy build, French Bulldogs can quickly become overweight, leading to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.
How Vegan Food Can Help Improve French Bulldogs' Health
A plant-based diet can reduce the risk of food allergies in your Frenchie, as many common allergens are animal-based proteins. Weight management and obesity prevention are also benefits of vegan dog food, which often contains fewer calories and less fat than traditional dog food, helping your French Bulldog stay trim.
A vegan diet that can be easier to digest for some dogs, leading to improved digestion, better nutrient absorption and better gastrointestinal health. A complete and balanced vegan diet can provide all the necessary nutrients for your French Bulldog, leading to enhanced energy levels and overall wellness.
Debunking the Myth: Dogs as Omnivores, Not Carnivores
A common misconception is that dogs are strict carnivores, which is not the case. Dogs are omnivores, meaning they can obtain their necessary nutrients from both plant and animal sources. A well-formulated vegan diet that meets all nutritional requirements can be a healthy and balanced option for your French Bulldog.
Challenges with Transitioning Your French Bulldog to a Vegan Diet
Ensuring proper nutrient balance is crucial when making any changes to your dog's diet, so choose a nutritionally complete and balanced vegan dog food to ensure your French Bulldog receives all the necessary nutrients. It's important to gradually transition your furry friend's diet and to monitor their health during the process. For more details on the process, read our comprehensive transition guide.

The Environmental and Animal Welfare Benefits of a Vegan Diet
Choosing a vegan diet for your French Bulldog offers numerous environmental and animal welfare advantages. Plant-based dog food has a considerably lower carbon footprint, making it a more eco-friendly option compared to traditional animal-based pet food. Additionally, a vegan diet for your pup contributes to the conservation of water, land, and energy resources.
By opting for vegan dog food, you're also supporting cruelty-free and sustainable practices in the pet food industry. This promotes a more ethical and compassionate approach to pet nutrition, ensuring that the well-being of all animals, not just your furry friend, is considered.
Conclusion
Embracing a vegan diet can have a positive impact on your French Bulldog's health and well-being. It can help tackle common French Bulldog health problems, such as allergies and obesity, while also supporting their overall health. Choosing a nutritionally complete and balanced vegan dog food like PawCo not only benefits your beloved pet but also contributes to a more sustainable and compassionate world. | eng | ed203d8d-6f51-453f-8bdf-83355b08e80a | https://www.mypawco.com/vegan-dog-food-a-health-choice-for-french-bulldogs/ |

Locals Questions Jan 5 2023
Hi Stef, I have looked on FDR podcasts but have not been able to find what exactly virtue is. Can you please explain what virtue is, and what some of the most important virtues are? Thanks!
Stef, do you think it's possible that some people have a subconscious urge to tank their lives so hard that no one will ever expect a great deal from them? I know several people who became addicts, attempted or threatened suicide, failed college on purpose, only to rehab themselves later (thankfully!). Now when they make poor choices it's as if I am supposed to just be grateful that they aren't dead or living on the street, which I am, but the hope that they will ever become fully accountable in life seems lost.
Stef what could be the reason behind a man having strong feelings of jealously, anger and sadness at the thought his girlfriend's past sexual relationships? I assume this is normal to some degree, but I think I have much stronger feelings towards it than most men, and I can't seem to stop myself from thinking about it from time to time as the relationship with my girlfriend progresses. Even though her number of past partners is very low relative to other western women of similar age and attractiveness(or else I wouldn't be interested in dating her). Is this a sign of ultimate K selection? Or something more? Thank you.
I have a hoarder in my extended family. As a cousin and I age, we are increasingly showing signs of our elder's behavior, though nowhere near that extreme. Very generally, why do ppl hoard or clutter their living spaces? It's extremely inconvenient and distressing, yet all three of us do it to varying extents. Thank you, Stef.
I know you're like me and don't care for the sportsball, but any thoughts on the 24 year old NFL player that collapsed rather suddenly and unexpectedly last night?
Hey Stef, did you ever consider writing a parenting book? What are authors for parenting that you would recommend. Have you ever hear of the Love and Logic parenting practice and if yes whats your opinion? Any advice my 2 1/2 year old son is starting to throw himself on the floor when he is angry or throwing stuff around and refusing to pick it up after? Thank you very much 🙂 You are the reason I'm a mom now!
Hey Stef! I was wondering something. Awhile back you said you noticed a rage building inside you when you first started losing at playing cards with Izzy. You noted that you took time and rooted out its origins to work on it. I'm having a bit of the same problem except it's not when I lose against my kids, but when I lose a video game challenge that my kids want me to earn for them. I was wondering, is there a tactic for working this out of my system? Sort of like "Out you vile jelly!" Or maybe something along the lines of acknowledging the mecosystem was there for surviving my original kin. Thank you for all you do. Wish you all the best for you and your family. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
I have a question about the book "The Future ". I listened to it several months ago Can you explain the philosophy of the Angels, the pink robots that are like enforcers? If I recall they force people to be good. I could be wrong, that is why I am asking for a better understanding.
I would love to hear you speak about honoring the dead by never speaking ill of them, even when they were abusive people that died. Why do people cling to the idea that dead people deserve such respect when they were not respectable as they lived? Thank you.
It has been argued negative information have a longer lasting memory in our species compared to positive ones (Kensinger, 2006). I wonder if this applies to emotions. And which negative emotions (fear, anger, disgust, horror) have more adhesive glue to the perpetrator? For instance, do certain actions attach more permanent negative emotional tags (greater proclivity for ostracism weight) to a perpetrator than others? Does society and philosophy ascribe a more adhesive negative emotional tag to a rapist, a cannibal, a pedophile, or a mass murderer? The reason why I ask is in a free society, which violation would have more weight?
If you didn't develop empathy as a child is it something that can be learned?
With genuine and great sympathy to you, Stef, you appear to be holding on to a lot of anger. I don't blame you. You have a lot to be angry about. I also feel anger when I hear the heartbreaking stories of your call-ins. I get it in small doses with lots of detox time in between (I can pause the podcast or go to something else if it's too much). You're in it just about every day with questions and call ins from abused people, not to mention your own past. I say this because it seems to be eating at you. It would certainly be eating at me if I were in your position. I'm worried for you. Can you do something to detox the heartbreak you confront on a daily basis?
any advice to those who's fatal flaw is arrogance? Thank you for pointing out that we all need to be very aware of our fatal flaw.
I'm a long time listener in my early 20's trying to get a grip on life. I've had a few fleeting interests over the course of my time at college but have struggled finding a career path to fully commit to. I have ADHD and quickly get excited about certain topics but burn out and move on just as fast. I am currently a psychology major. Any tips for finding your passion and building a life worth living? Thanks!
How to reconcile ones own profession with the fact that it is "poisoned" with post-modernism and generally liberalism/wokeism. I am a psychologist and a family therapist. I am counseling people for almost 10 years now, and honestly, I have learned more from you than from any book that I have read... It is hard to find a quality literature or a colleague that is not praising sophistry/post modernism.

Getting into the spirits of '76
Most Americans celebrate Independence Day with barbecues, picnics, parades, fireworks or just vegging in front of the television. The only component of our collective Independence Day celebrations that seems to have lost some of the appreciation for its historical importance is the booze.
Sure, we have beer and wine at our July 4 shindigs, but our nation's ancestors would get thoroughly pickled at such affairs. According to historian William Rorabaugh, a professor of U.S. history at the University of Washington in Seattle, communal binge drinking was so customary at July 4 festivities, that "it was surely no accident that one early temperance society adopted a pledge that allowed its members to become intoxicated on Independence Day."
Rorabaugh writes in his classic text, "The Alcoholic Republic: An American Tradition," that "during the 1820s no holiday had more import than the 4th of July, a date that would evoke a national intoxication."
Apparently, Americans drank more alcoholic beverages between 1790 and 1840 than at any other period in our nation's history — nearly a half pint of hard liquor per person each day.
So what were Americans drinking back then? Well before the American Revolution, it was mostly madeira, hard apple cider, apple brandy, rum and really anything they could get their hands on to distill that wasn't otherwise being taxed too greatly by the British.
The demand for whiskey increased as supplies of rum ran dry during the American Revolution. After the revolution, the tipple of choice was largely rye whiskey — it was both cheap and plentiful and American.
Back at the time of our nation's founding, whiskey and other distilled spirits were seen as staple foods to shake up an otherwise bland diet. Think of it as rye bread versus white bread. Well into the 19th century, whiskey was also thought to be curative, healing colds, fevers and a palliative for aches. At that time, most sources of water were neither clear nor sparkling, nor in any way appetizing.
All of which is to say that straight rye whiskey, the tipple of our nation's hearty, freedom-loving forebears, should be accorded at least a modicum of respect and is certainly worth at least a sample taste. So consider: Russell's Reserve 6 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (45 percent abv; $46): This warming, super smooth, fun, light-ish yet wonderful rye offers aromas and flavors of almonds, caramel, honey, vanilla, oak, cherries, banana bread, spicy cinnamon and New York. rye bread. Mild-mannered as rye whiskeys go, but just superb.
For a patriotic, American-made wine when celebrating July 4, a fine choice to consider is: Hagafen Cellars, 2012 Cabernet Franc ($39) a lovely, refined and impressive medium-bodied wine with aromas and flavors of black cherry, ripe plum, dried currant and savory chocolate, with spice and cedar wood, and then a wonderful, complex finish; softening but noticeable tannins and lively acidity make this one to hold for few more years at least, but enjoyable now with a hearty, meaty meal.
The family-owned and operated Hagafen winery is located on Napa's Silverado Trail between the Oak Knoll and Stag's Leap appellations and boasts a very popular tasting room. Each of Hagafen's three wine labels, Hagafen (the primary label), Prix (the high-end line) and Don Ernesto (the quaffable line) are available there.
While Hagafen wines are widely available, the winery also offers direct-to-consumer sales via its website, as well as through three fantastic wine clubs. All Hagafen wines are certified kosher and mevushal (a thermal processing akin to flash pasteurization) under the supervision of the Orthodox Union (OU).

Balancing work and travel as a crypto digital nomad
As the world becomes more interconnected, people are finding new ways to work and travel at the same time. One of the most popular ways to do this is to become a digital nomad. Digital nomads are people who work remotely from their laptops and travel the world at the same time. This lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular, especially among those in the cryptocurrency industry.
Cryptocurrency has created a new generation of digital nomads who are able to work from anywhere in the world. This is because cryptocurrency is decentralized, meaning that it is not controlled by any single entity or government. This allows people to work and trade cryptocurrencies from anywhere in the world, as long as they have an internet connection.
However, being a digital nomad is not always easy. Balancing work and travel can be challenging, and it requires a lot of discipline and planning. In this blog post, we will explore some tips for balancing work and travel as a crypto digital nomad.
1. Establish a routine
One of the most important things you can do as a digital nomad is to establish a routine. This means setting aside specific times each day for work, exercise, and relaxation. By doing this, you can ensure that you are productive during your work hours and have time to explore your surroundings during your free time.
When establishing a routine, it is important to be realistic. Don't try to work for 12 hours a day and then explore the city for another 12 hours. This will quickly lead to burnout. Instead, aim to work for 6-8 hours a day and then spend the rest of your time exploring the city or relaxing.
2. Use technology to your advantage
As a crypto digital nomad, you will be relying heavily on technology to do your work. This means that you need to make sure that your technology is up to date and that you have access to reliable internet.
One way to ensure that you have access to reliable internet is to invest in a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. This will allow you to have internet access wherever you go, without having to rely on public Wi-Fi networks.
In addition to a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, you should also invest in a good laptop and other necessary equipment. This will ensure that you are able to work efficiently and effectively, no matter where you are in the world.
3. Plan ahead
When traveling as a digital nomad, it is important to plan ahead. This means researching the places you will be visiting and making sure that you have everything you need to work effectively.
For example, you should research the availability of reliable internet in the places you will be visiting. You should also research the time zones of the places you will be visiting, as this will impact your work schedule.
In addition to researching the places you will be visiting, you should also plan your work schedule in advance. This will allow you to make the most of your time and ensure that you are able to balance work and travel effectively.
4. Take breaks
As a digital nomad, it can be easy to get caught up in work and forget to take breaks. However, taking breaks is essential for maintaining productivity and avoiding burnout.
When taking breaks, it is important to do something that will help you relax and recharge. This could be going for a walk, doing some yoga, or exploring the city you are in.
5. Network with other digital nomads
Finally, networking with other digital nomads can be a great way to balance work and travel. By networking with other digital nomads, you can learn from their experiences and get tips on how to balance work and travel effectively.
There are many online communities for digital nomads, such as Nomadlist and Digital Nomad Girls. Joining these communities can help you connect with other digital nomads and build a support network.
6. Choose your destinations carefully
When planning your travels as a crypto digital nomad, it's important to choose your destinations carefully. You'll want to make sure that the places you visit have a good internet connection, as well as other amenities that are important to you.
For example, if you're someone who enjoys outdoor activities, you may want to consider destinations that have hiking trails or beaches nearby. On the other hand, if you're someone who enjoys city life, you may want to consider destinations that have a vibrant nightlife or cultural attractions.
7. Be mindful of time zones
When working as a crypto digital nomad, it's important to be mindful of time zones. Depending on where you are in the world, your work schedule may need to be adjusted to accommodate different time zones.
For example, if you're based in the United States and you're working with clients in Asia, you may need to be available to work during their business hours, which may be in the middle of the night for you. It's important to plan your work schedule accordingly so that you're able to meet your clients' needs while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
8. Take advantage of coworking spaces
Coworking spaces are a great resource for crypto digital nomads. These spaces provide a dedicated workspace with reliable internet, as well as opportunities to network with other professionals.
Many coworking spaces also offer amenities such as coffee and snacks, as well as events and workshops that can help you grow your skills and expand your network.
9. Stay organized
When working as a crypto digital nomad, it's important to stay organized. This means keeping track of your work schedule, deadlines, and other important information.
One way to stay organized is to use a project management tool such as Trello or Asana. These tools allow you to create tasks, set deadlines, and collaborate with others.
It's also important to keep your files and documents organized. This means using a cloud-based storage system such as Google Drive or Dropbox to store your files, so that you can access them from anywhere in the world.
10. Take care of your health
Finally, it's important to take care of your health when working as a crypto digital nomad. This means getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, and getting regular exercise.
When traveling, it can be easy to fall into unhealthy habits such as eating fast food or skipping workouts. However, taking care of your health is essential for maintaining productivity and avoiding burnout.
Conclusion
Balancing work and travel as a crypto digital nomad is not always easy, but it is definitely possible. By establishing a routine, using technology to your advantage, planning ahead, taking breaks, and networking with other digital nomads, you can create a successful and fulfilling lifestyle as a digital nomad.
It's important to remember that being a digital nomad requires a lot of discipline and planning. However, with the right mindset and tools, you can create a lifestyle that allows you to work and travel at the same time. | eng | cc3f25e5-9836-4e2f-baaa-7eabc0bc69b5 | https://jorcus.com/balancing-work-and-travel-as-a-crypto-digital-nomad/ |
Along with trade management, the psychology of trading is probably one of the most difficult elements of trading to truly master. In fact, the two topics are highly correlated because there is no substitute for experience, and there is very little written about the psychology of trading. Further, most swing traders tend to be more mathematically oriented, and less interested in such "soft" subjects as psychology. Yet, to ignore the psychology of trading will almost guarantee your failure as a trader.
The only time traders and investors turn for help on this topic is after they have blown up their brokerage accounts and have finally hit rock bottom. However, in this article, I will teach you about the key concepts to be aware of, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that investors and traders commonly experience.
Many trading sites recommend that new traders "paper trade" to gain experience by practicing in a simulated account.
While this may be beneficial for learning to spot technical patterns and entry points, it is impossible to simulate the psychological side of a trade unless you are actually putting your own hard-earned money at risk. In order to master the psychology of trading, a trader must work his way through hundreds of trades in order to identify his personal psychological strengths and weaknesses.
The "individual" vs. the "group" As a trader or stock market investor, one is constantly fighting a battle between need to think independently and avoiding the urge to fight market momentum (the "herd" mentality). Frequently, an actual idea to buy or sell a stock can be correct, yet the trade ends up losing money because the investor (the "individual") believes so strongly in the merits of the trade that he fights the powerful momentum of the stock market (the "group"). This typically occurs when an investor has the correct idea to buy or sell a stock, but the overall market timing was wrong.
Stock markets only shift momentum from one direction to the other when the "group" decides, NOT when the individual trader believes the reversal should occur. Famous economist and speculator John Maynard Keynes once said, "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." Oh, how true this is, in the streets are littered with traders and investors who thought otherwise. As a momentum trader of any market, the trend is always your friend. Fighting against it will only result in losses over the long-term. Four psychological states of emotion – greed, fear, hope, and regret.
There are four psychological states of emotions that drive most individual decision making in the market. They are greed, fear, hope and regret. Since the market is made up of individual human beings that tend to act in similar manners, a group is formed. It is only the group's opinion that matters during a trend, but it is the individual trader's job to identify the subtle clues as to when a market is about to shift direction.
The clues are there, but they are subtle. An awareness and detailed understanding of these emotions is what keeps the trader out of trouble by providing a means to identify individual weaknesses. We shall now take a closer look at these emotions, and provide examples of how they influence a trader's ability to consistently make money.
What is Greed? Greed is commonly defined as an excessive desire for money and wealth. In trading terminology, it can specifically be defined as the desire for a trade to provide an immediate and unrealistic amount of profit. When greed sets in, all a trader can focus on is how much money they have made and how much more they could make by staying in the trade. However, there is a major fallacy with this type of reasoning. A profit is not realized until a position is closed. Until then, the trader only has a POTENTIAL profit (aka. "paper profit"). Greed also frequently leads to ignoring sound risk management practices.
What is Fear? Fear is defined as a distressing emotion that is caused by a feeling of impending danger, which results in a survival response. This holds true regardless of whether the threat is real or imagined.
Fear is probably the most powerful of all human emotions. When traders become afraid, they will sell a position regardless of the price. Fear leads to panic, and panic leads to poor decision making. Fear is a survival response. People have been known to jump off of buildings during market panics. By contrast, no one has ever jumped off of a building because of greed. It took the Dow Jones Industrial Average from 1983 until 2007 (24 years) to rally from 1,000 to 14,200, but it only took two years to lose half of its value (2007-2009). That's a dramatic example of the power of fear.
Fear is a good emotion if it gets you out of a bad trade. If, for example, a stock hits its stop and the trader exits the trade, then the fear of losing an excessive amount of money protects the trader from financial ruin. However, fear can work against a trader when they don't enter a quality setup because they have had a series of losing trades. Just because a trader has lost money in the previous trades doesn't mean they should be fearful of entering the next trade. That's why we have trading plans. Trading systems are intended to take the emotions out of trading. If you're afraid to enter a quality setup, there's no point in even trading.
When the market is in a state of panic or fear, the trader should never try to rationalize or come up with excuses why they shouldn't get out of their positions. During times of fear and panic, it is best to go to cash. Listening to the news, the government, stock experts, or other trader's opinions is a waste of time. If the market (aka. "the group") is in a state of panic, it is best to not fight the trend. The group will always win. You don't have enough money to hold the market up by yourself. It's pretty simple…when institutional traders (banks, mutual funds, and hedge funds) decide to dump their positions, the market will fall (and vice versa). When there is fear, steer clear! When in doubt, get out!
What is Hope? Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. It's an individual's desire to want or wish for a desired event to happen.
Hope may be the most dangerous of all human emotions when it comes to trading. Hope is what keeps a trader in a losing trade after it has hit the stop. Greed and hope are what often prevent a trader from taking profits on a winning trade. When a stock is going up, traders will often remain in the trade in the "hope" of recouping past losses. Every trader hopes that a losing trade will somehow become a winning trade, but stock markets are not a charity. This type of thinking is dangerous because the group (stock market) could not care less about what you hope for, or what is in your best interest. Rest assured, when your thinking slips into hope mode, the market will punish you by taking your money.
What is regret? Regret is defined as a feeling of sadness or disappointment over something that has happened or been done, especially when it involves a loss or a missed opportunity.
The negative implications of this emotion are obvious. It is only natural for a trader to regret taking on a losing trade or missing a winning trade. But what is important as a trader is not to hyper focus on losing trades or missed opportunities. If you lose money on a trade, then you should simply evaluate what went wrong and move forward. Other than the lessons that can be gained from evaluating each trade, there is no point to spending further time regretting the decision to enter the trade. It is also human nature to feel regret when an opportunity is missed. If you miss a winning trade, then you must move on to the next potential trading opportunity.
When traders allow regret to rule their thinking, they tend to "chase trades" in the hopes of still being able to make money on the position by entering it well above the trigger price. The problem with this thinking is that the reward/risk of the trade no longer meets the parameters of good trade management. For instance, by entering a trade 1 point higher than the trigger, the potential reward may be 1 point, but the potential loss may also be 1 point. This sets the reward/risk ratio at 1 to 1.
Recall that we prefer trades to have at least a 2 to 1 reward/risk ratio. However, if the trade had been entered at the appropriate trigger price, the reward/risk ratio would have been 2 to 1. Good traders learn to discipline their mind to eliminate regretful thinking.

Summary As humans, it is normal to experience these four powerful psychological elements when trading or investing in the stock market. However, being aware that these emotions are always right on your doorstep is the first step to being disciplined enough to overcome them. When you do, you will find the results of your trading operations dramatically improve.

This hour-long video covers the mathematical notation developed to classify and communicate juggling patterns, and Knutson explains how that inherent mathematical structure can be used to create new patterns.
There's a lot of very sophisticated math here, which may surprise some people. But as Knutson says at the beginning, "Anything that is sufficiently understood … there should be a mathematics of that thing." | eng | 5cadc2a7-8b00-4dd7-9d9c-aed7f0979d7c | https://mrhonner.com/archives/3449 |
FTC requests feedback on Endorsement Guides
While the FTC has periodically updated the FAQs associated with the Guides, it has not directly updated the Guides since 2009. Given the changes to influencer and social media marketing over the years, the FTC is seeking input on a range of issues related to endorsements, influencers, reviews, and affiliate marketing. For example, the FTC asks the following questions in the proposed Federal Register notice:
Are any specific provisions of the Guides no longer necessary, and, if so, which provisions and why are they no longer necessary?
What is the degree of compliance with the Guides, and do the Guides support industry self-regulation or voluntary standards?
Should the information in FAQs be incorporated into the Guides?
What changes are needed to address technological, economic, or environmental changes?
How well are advertisers and endorsers disclosing material connections on social media?
How do children understand disclosures of material connections?
How do incentives like free or discounted products bias consumer reviews even when reviewers are not required to make a positive review and whether/how those incentives should be disclosed?
Should the Guides address affiliate links, and, if so, how?
What disclosures, if any, do advertisers or the operators of review websites or review platforms need to make about the creation, collection, processing, or publication of reviews or ratings in order to prevent deception or unfairness?
The FTC's announcement follows its November 2019 "Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers" and recent cases related to fake reviews and fake indicators of online influence. In addition, the FTC staff indicated this month that the FTC is continuing to investigate influencer activities, and more cases are in the pipeline regarding deceptive reviews and the failure to disclose material connections between influencers and brands. Bottom line: good influencer practices are essential for brands and influencers, and the FTC continues to focus on influencer marketing.
Key Takeaways:
The FTC is seeking comments from interested parties within 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
The comments could result in updates to the Endorsement Guides or related FTC guidance.
Endorsements and influencers continue to be an enforcement priority for the FTC, so brands should audit their endorsement and influencer policies (and associated monitoring and training programs) for influencers, marketers, agencies, and employees | eng | 5b846147-53c2-45d7-9c17-c51000b14c34 | https://www.consumerprotectionreview.com/2020/02/ftc-requests-feedback-on-endorsement-guides/ |

Which Is Harder: MD or DVM?
Both veterinary school (DVM) and medical school (MD) are highly challenging pathways that demand exceptional dedication, intellect, and perseverance. However, delving deeper into the rigors of these distinct professional journeys, it becomes evident that veterinary school poses a more arduous undertaking. While both paths necessitate a strong command of math and science, the intricacies of veterinary medicine, ranging from the diversity of species to the complexities of animal physiology, make the acquisition of knowledge in this field even more demanding. Moreover, veterinary students must possess a unique sense of empathy and a profound understanding of the non-verbal communication essential for diagnosing and treating animals, adding further complexity to their studies. Consequently, the rigorous curriculum and multifaceted skill set required in veterinary school establish it as a more challenging pursuit compared to medical school.
What Is the Difference Between a DVM and a MD?
MDs and DVMs are both highly respected professionals in the medical field, but their areas of expertise vary greatly. MDs, or Doctors of Medicine, specialize in treating and diagnosing medical conditions in humans. They're trained to perform surgeries, prescribe medications, and provide comprehensive healthcare services to patients of all ages.
On the other hand, DVMs, or Doctors of Veterinary Medicine, dedicated their education and practice to the care of animals. DVMs play a crucial role in maintaining the health of various species, from domestic pets to livestock and wildlife. They're skilled in conducting exams, performing surgeries, administering vaccines, and providing preventive care for animals.
MDs undergo rigorous medical education and training that typically spans four years of medical school after obtaining a bachelors degree. Following graduation, MDs often complete a residency program in their chosen specialty, which can last several years. This extensive training equips them with the knowledge and skills required to diagnose and treat complex conditions in humans.
They also complete four years of veterinary school after obtaining a bachelors degree.
The difference in acronyms between DVM and VMD can be puzzling, but it's important to note that both designations signify the same level of expertise in the field of veterinary medicine. While 29 out of 30 veterinary schools in the US award the title of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), the University of Pennsylvania's veterinary school grants the title of Veterinary Medical Doctor (VMD). Despite the discrepancy in terminology, both degrees hold equal weight and represent highly qualified professionals in the veterinary field.
What Is the Difference Between a Vet and a DVM?
The difference in these designations can be traced back to historical reasons and the evolution of veterinary education in the United States. The DVM degree was initially established in the early 20th century as a counterpart to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in human medicine. This allowed veterinarians to be recognized as equal professionals in the medical field.
However, the University of Pennsylvania chose a slightly different path. In 1884, they established the first veterinary school in North America and decided to confer the degree of Veterinary Medical Doctor (VMD) to their graduates. This decision was made to emphasize the comprehensive medical training that veterinarians receive, as they study both animal medicine and surgery.
Despite the difference in title, both DVMs and VMDs go through the same rigorous veterinary curriculum and training. They both study anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and other core subjects, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases in various animal species.
They're also eligible to specialize in different areas, such as internal medicine, surgery, dermatology, or ophthalmology, through additional training and certification.
The History of Veterinary Education in the United States and the Establishment of Veterinary Schools
The first formal veterinary education program in the United States was established in 1879 at Iowa State College (now Iowa State University).
The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, founded in 1884, is the oldest veterinary school in the United States.
In 1903, Cornell University established the New York State Veterinary College, which became one of the leading veterinary schools in the country.
Michigan State University established the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1910, becoming the first land-grant institution to have a veterinary program.
In 1946, the United States Army established the Veterinary Corps, further promoting the profession and education in veterinary medicine.
The 1960s saw a significant expansion in the number of veterinary schools in the United States, with the establishment of schools at Texas A&M University, University of California, Davis, and many others.
In recent years, there's been a focus on expanding veterinary education to meet the growing demand for veterinarians in various specialties, such as veterinary public health and biomedical research.
Today, there are numerous accredited veterinary schools in the United States, offering comprehensive programs in veterinary medicine and training future veterinarians.
Conclusion
In addition to this shared foundation, vet school places added emphasis on animal anatomy, physiology, and pathology, as well as various species-specific courses. The complexity of veterinary medicine lies not only in understanding the intricacies of multiple animal systems but also in the need to diagnose and treat patients who can't communicate their symptoms verbally. Moreover, vet school demands a mastery of diverse surgical techniques and pharmacological treatments tailored specifically to animals. The countless hours spent studying, the significant emotional toll of caring for patients who can't voice their pain, and the constant pressure to make life-or-death decisions for another species all contribute to the unique difficulty of veterinary school. Ultimately, the tremendous dedication, compassion, and expertise required in veterinary medicine make it an immensely challenging profession, surpassing the challenges faced in medical school. | eng | 79c75146-eb05-44b7-ba32-8b99be8d48a1 | https://kittiesnpitties.org/which-is-harder-md-or-dvm |
Arrogance or Self-confidence?
I have come across both types of people in my life and I will admit I have mixed up the 2 at times when I was younger.
It can be difficult to tell them apart as they have many cross over points and until you get to know someone the lines can be even more blurred.
What is confidence?
Confidence comes from belief in one's abilities. A confident person is one who knows he has certain areas of strength and weakness. A confident person feels confident in themselves. Though they are also human beings, and they too feel good when told they are better at some things than others, and they too find gratification with validation, but they are not dependent on this. It's a boost rather than a necessity. They try to be of use with their talent, and they succeed at the task at hand because of their ability.
What is arrogance?
Arrogance is an exaggerated version of confidence. Arrogant people can be seen at all places. They are those who think less of others or someone in their surroundings. These are people who can be seen correcting the flaws of others or showing them the right way of doing things.
An arrogant person is more interested in being proven right than being happy. In a discussion, they go all out to prove they are right by dismissing other's arguments. To be proven right is the most important objective for such people, even if this comes at the cost of reducing other's status or making them feel lesser.
Unlike a confident person, an arrogant person is dependent on validation. Thus, the difference between a confident and an arrogant person is not on abilities, but on having calm control over themselves. An arrogant person tries to belittle others by displaying his abilities while a confident person displays his abilities only in case of genuine need.
Arrogance stems from a sense of insecurity, and a person is arrogant to compensate for areas of weakness that cause distress for such a person. Arrogance breeds superiority.
Of course, anyone can cross over this thin line including ourselves and certainly give the impression that we are showing signs of arrogance when we think we are just being confident. | eng | ff60e5dc-6886-4dec-8329-2160c7cdb559 | https://www.gregorywardinternational.com/post/arrogance-or-self-confidence |
Sometimes you have a lot of data, and one approach to support quick
searches is pre-processing it to build an index so a search can
involve only looking at a small fraction of the total data. The
threshold at which it's worth switching to indexing, though, might be
higher than you'd guess. Here are some cases I've worked on where
full scans were better engineering choices:
A decade ago I wrote an interoffice messaging application for a
small billing service. Messages were stored in MySQL and I was going
to add indexing if full-text searches got slow or we had load issues,
but even with ten years worth of messages to search it stayed
responsive. (This was before MySQL supported FULLTEXT
indexes with InnoDB, added in v5.6,
and at the time indexing would have meant installing and maintaining
Sphinx.)
I recently came across
someone maintaining a 0.5GB full text index to support searching their
shell history, 100k commands. I usegrep on a flat file, and testing now it takes 20ms for a
query across my 180k history entries.
My contra dance search
tool ranks each dance in response to your query, with no
geospatial indexing, because there are just ~350 dances.
The viral counts
explorer I've been playing with for work searches the taxonomic
tree of human viruses in real time, scanning ~15k names with JS's
"includes" command about as fast as you can type.
When I worked in ads I would often need to debug issues using
production logs, and would use Dremel (Melnik
2010, Melnik
2020) to run a distributed scan of very large amounts of data at
interactive speeds. Because queries were relatively rare, an index
would have been far more expensive to maintain.
Unless you know from the start that you'll be searching hundreds of
millions of records, consider starting with simple scans and only add
indexing if you can't get acceptable performance. And even then, if
queries are rare and highly varied you may still do better to do
the work at query time instead of ingestion time | eng | 50d10c29-fdc8-4ef8-8e7e-41e6c37ae2c4 | https://www.jefftk.com/p/you-dont-always-need-indexes |
completely agree with you, WotC probably won't do a K&W for that reason, but what they can do is include these more niche things in their catch-all books. My favourite example here are Group Patrons. They are an interesting mechanic that was included in Tasha's. K&W expanded upon that concept (whether intentionally or not) by creating Organizations, that fill a similar purpose of uniting the PCs under a common cause, but make it much more engaging and mechanically interesting, but it shows that WotC at least has the right idea and just needs a stronger push.
In that vein, they could include a 20 page chapter just about creating spells (yes, I know one exists in the DMG, it just sucks) in their next book. Not everyone would use it, but no one would complain about having it instead of fucking Battlemaster builds and many people would be really happy about it.
I mean, as fun as group patrons are… they're not a particularly complicated idea, and they've been around for way longer than Tasha's. "Here's a person who is rich/influential/powerful mage, they have lots of jobs for you" is a super common DM tool.
I love the tables in Tasha's, and it's super useful, but it's definitely not a new or original mechanic.
Unfortunately that doesn't make all the money in the world, so Wizards won't do it. The DM is maybe one of five or six people in the group, and it's way more profitable to publish books the other four or five need to buy than it is to to publish books for the one that matters most.
Driving the game more toward Profit Over Everything is what almost killed 4e and DND on the whole in the first place, though.
Like, it's well-documented that the MtG approach and Hasbro's mandates for how WoTC needed to make DND more profitable almost led exclusively to the massive issues people cite as their problems with 4e | eng | d0bbf039-0e3c-4bef-8095-a95221686aa0 | https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/or83xp/new_dnd_books_should_innovate_not_iterate/h6gpxg1/ |

Keeping Your Pet Safe During Summer Heat Waves? Consider These Tips
When summer temperature rises, it's important to remember that your four-legged companions, like humans, may experience heat-related illness. Heat fatigue and dehydration might be fatal to pets, resulting in organ problems and even death. As a result, keeping them safe and cool is essential during heat waves.
Keep reading to learn more.
How to Keep Your Pet Safe During Summer Heat Waves
Here's how:
1. Understand the Risks of Heatstroke in Pets
When heat waves strike throughout the summer, you need to understand how likely your pet will deal with heatstroke. Animals may suffer from catastrophic heat stroke if left in hot environments for too long. Organ failure and other serious health issues might result from this. Call your veterinarian immediately if you think your pet is struggling with heat stroke so they can provide emergency care, like intravenous fluids and oxygen treatment.
Since a weakened immune system puts animals at risk of heat stroke and other diseases, veterinary services like kitten vaccinations in Santa Barbara are essential. When protecting your pet, following your vet's immunization regimen is essential.
2. Make Sure Your Pet Has Enough Water and Shade
Give enough hydration and shade for your pet during summer heat waves. Guarantee they have access to clean and fresh water and put ice in their water bowl. Also, offer a shaded area to rest in, such as a covered patio or tree shade, to prevent them from overheating and sunburning.
3. Avoid Walking Your Pet During the Hottest Times of the Day
Taking your pet for a walk during the hottest parts of the day, particularly during summer heat waves, may endanger its health. Take your pet for a walk early in the morning or late at night when temperatures are cooler. If your pet has pre-existing well-being conditions or is not adapted to harsh weather, obtaining a vet's approval from an animal facility like San Roque Pet Hospital before involving them on a long stroll is essential. Guarantee your pet has something to consume on the stroll, so they remain lively and healthy.
4. Identify the Indicators of Heat Stroke in Pets
It is crucial to recognize heat stroke in canines and felines since it may be deadly if not treated promptly. Heatstroke signs consist of the following:
Panting
Throwing up
Drooling excessively
Skin that is both warm and dry
Quick heart rate
Staring or distressed expressions
Uncoordinated movements or collapse
If you think your pets experience heat stroke, you must quickly take them to the vet. Appropriate veterinary diagnosis and treatment might assist in preventing significant wellness problems and boost your pet's chances of recuperation. You can check out this link to learn more about veterinary diagnostics.
5. Don't Leave Your Pet in a Hot Car Alone
Leaving your pet alone in a hot car can be deadly. Despite the windows cracking, the vehicle temperature quickly rises to harmful levels. To keep your pet secure during summer heat waves, constantly take them when you leave the car and never leave them alone. However, if you need to leave them in the vehicle temporarily, park in a shaded location with plenty of water and ventilation.
Final Thoughts
Maintaining your pet secure during summer heat waves is important for their health and wellness. You can prevent heat-related conditions by following the suggestions provided above. Setting up frequent veterinarian checkups is also essential to ensure your pet's wellness and identify any problems early on. Don't wait until it's too late– prioritize your pet's health and wellness | eng | 4aba9f4c-312b-408c-aa1a-26086a126938 | https://cityofedmontoninfill.ca/keeping-your-pet-safe-during-summer-heat-waves-consider-these-tips/ |

WHAT IS BIO-INSPIRED DESIGN?
Bio-Inspired Design
(also known as bio-informed design, biomimetics and biomimicry)
is an approach to design in which natural processes inform solutions to human problems. Designers and scientists have often looked to nature for insight and inspiration from very different perspectives; the former mainly focus on aesthetic qualities, the latter on function and behaviour.
In 2014, Dr Veronika Kapsali (Bio-Inspired Textiles lead researcher) worked in collaboration with Angel Eye, and the Design Technology Association (D&TA) to produce a series of short films that examines a basic set of biomimetic principles. Not just for children, these are a great resource to get you started with Bio-Inspired Design.
Bio-Inspired Case Studies
Design for Efficiency
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is one of the largest animals on the earth. It can grow up to 15 metres (40 feet) long and weighs 40 tons yet is capable of precise and agile manoeuvres. For example, the humpback can swim in tight circles as narrow as 1.5 metres (5 feet) in diameter.
Scientists discovered that this extraordinary behaviour was made possible by the design of the pectoral flipper. With its characteristically irregular large bumps along the leading edge of its flipper, called tubercules, this enables the wale to manage the flow of water as it moves. This design has been applied to improve the efficiency of wind turbines.
Design for Longevity
It is important for parent plants that their seeds travel far away from them to find their own space to germinate and grow. Without legs to move them they rely of other methods of transportation. The burdock (genus Arctium) addresses this challenge through a very clever design. Its seeds (burs) are covered in prickly hairs that enable them to attach to animal fur or human clothing in which to be transported away.
Engineer George de Mestral wanted to find out why the burs were so tricky to remove from his clothes. He discovered, by looking under a microscope, that the prickly hairs were in fact hooks and saw the potential for a reversible dry adhesion system. Working with a textile mill he recreated the hook and fur system to create what we today call Velcro. This reversible sticking system has allowed us to create adaptable clothing and accessories that we can use for longer.
Design for Recovery
Solid structures in nature are rare, rather we find that nature designs very strong materials using a cellular structure. Due to this biological structural design, it provides a way to create strong structures from weak materials which uses less material overall. We find these structures in bone, wood, and honeycomb.
In 2014 Lillian van Daal was inspired by the cellular structure in nature and used it to create a 3D printed chair. Rather than print a solid block or use a combination of hard and soft materials (as in traditional upholstery), she designed the cellular structure to introduce both soft and strong sections, to make the seat comfortable but the legs stable. Informed by nature the design was made from a single material promoting recovery at the end-of-use.
What is Bio-Inspired Textiles?
Bio-inspired Textiles is a research project that is taking focused look at how some of the principles of bio-inspired design can be used to aid sustainable textile design.
The project is creating a range of resources to make it easier for designers to translate and apply the design structures that are found in nature into their own textile design practice. | eng | 67c671d3-4914-4527-872e-509e05a278b3 | https://www.bioinspiredtextiles.com/what |

Goldman Sachs Advanced Coding Questions
And Answers
Advance Coding Question section is an additional section in the Round 2 of Goldman Sachs hiring process. This section is an additional section after the basic coding round. This round is fairly difficult that the first round, and the questions asked in this round are from dynamic programming or greedy approach, unlike data structures which are asked in the first round.
Goldman Sachs Practice Coding Questions
Question 1
You have a positive integer m and a non-negative integer s. Your task is to find the smallest and the largest of the numbers that have length m and sum of digits s. The required numbers should be non-negative integers written in the decimal base without leading zeroes.
Input
The single line of the input contains a pair of integers m, s (1 ≤ m ≤ 100, 0 ≤ s ≤ 900) — the length and the sum of the digits of the required numbers.
Output
In the output print the pair of the required non-negative integer numbers — first the minimum possible number, then — the maximum possible number. If no numbers satisfying conditions required exist, print the pair of numbers "-1 -1" (without the quotes).
Karan got bored, so he invented a game to be played on paper. He writes n integers a1, a2, …, an. Each of those integers can be either 0 or 1. He's allowed to do exactly one move: he chooses two indices i and j (1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ n) and flips all values ak for which their positions are in range [i, j] (that is i ≤ k ≤ j). Flip the value of x means to apply operation x = 1 – x. The goal of the game is that after exactly one move to obtain the maximum number of ones. Write a program to solve the little game of Iahub.
Input
The first line of the input contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 100). In the second line of the input there are n integers: a1, a2, …, an. It is guaranteed that each of those n values is either 0 or 1.
Output
Print an integer — the maximal number of 1s that can be obtained after exactly one move.
Examples
Input 5 1 0 0 1 0
Output 4
Input 4 1 0 0 1
Output 4
Note
In the first case, flip the segment from 2 to 5 (i = 2, j = 5). That flip changes the sequence, it becomes: [1 1 1 0 1]. So, it contains four ones. There is no way to make the whole sequence equal to [1 1 1 1 1].
In the second case, flipping only the second and the third element (i = 2, j = 3) will turn all numbers into 1.You just received another bill which you cannot pay because you lack the money.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time to happen, and now you decide to investigate the cause of your constant monetary shortness. The reason is quite obvious: the lion's share of your money routinely disappears at the entrance of party localities.
You make up your mind to solve the problem where it arises, namely at the parties themselves. You introduce a limit for your party budget and try to have the most possible fun with regard to this limit.
You inquire beforehand about the entrance fee to each party and estimate how much fun you might have there. The list is readily compiled, but how do you actually pick the parties that give you the most fun and do not exceed your budget?
Write a program which finds this optimal set of parties that offer the most fun. Keep in mind that your budget need not necessarily be reached exactly. Achieve the highest possible fun level, and do not spend more money than is absolutely necessary.
Input
The first line of the input specifies your party budget and the number n of parties.
The following n lines contain two numbers each. The first number indicates the entrance fee of each party. Parties cost between 5 and 25 francs. The second number indicates the amount of fun of each party, given as an integer number ranging from 0 to 10.
The budget will not exceed 500 and there will be at most 100 parties. All numbers are separated by a single space.
There are many test cases. Input ends with 0 0.
Output
For each test case your program must output the sum of the entrance fees and the sum of all fun values of an optimal solution. Both numbers must be separated by a single space.
Question 6
Raman was playing a game, he starts with x coins. Now in every step, he wins and loses and he has to get the money or pay the money as needed. He came in contact with a psychic who can see the future and the Psychic predicted the outcomes after each step. Now Raman wants to start the game with the minimum wage where he doesn't run out of money. Help Raman to find what money he should start with.

Is it safe to update BIOS?
Installing (or "flashing") a new BIOS is more dangerous than updating a simple Windows program, and if something goes wrong during the process, you could end up bricking your computer. Since BIOS updates don't usually introduce new features or huge speed boosts, you probably won't see a huge benefit anyway.

How to Check If Your Computer Uses UEFI or BIOS
Press Windows + R keys simultaneously to open the Run box. Type MSInfo32 and hit Enter.
On the right pane, find the "BIOS Mode". If your PC uses BIOS, it will display Legacy. If it is using UEFI so it will display UEFI.

Hardware updates—Newer BIOS updates will enable the motherboard to correctly identify new hardware such as processors, RAM, and so on. Increased stability—As bugs and other issues are found with motherboards, the manufacturer will release BIOS updates to address and fix those bugs.
How do I check BIOS version without booting?
Instead of rebooting, take a look in these two places: Open Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. Here you will find System Summary on the left and its contents on the right. Find the BIOS Version option and your BIOS flash version displayed.

Why You Probably Shouldn't Update Your BIOS
If your computer is working properly, you probably shouldn't update your BIOS. You likely won't see the difference between the new BIOS version and the old one. If your computer loses power while flashing the BIOS, your computer could become "bricked" and unable to boot.
Is flashing GPU BIOS safe?
You can do it, it is safe at least in terms of bricking the card, that won't happen because of dual bios. There's a reason though that it's not being sold as a 290x. | eng | c34d145a-6412-4643-9f29-9a0bb651d80c | https://androidtrucos.com/how-can-i-tell-when-my-bios-was-last-updated/ |
